Legal Aspects of Participation of a Psychologist as a Specialist in Enforcement of Court Decisions in Parenting Cases (Part I)
Authors: Guldan V.V. , Sulima O.N. , Sukhotin A.A.
Published: June 2018

The article provides an analysis of scientific sources, normative legal acts, instructive letters of Federal Bailiffs Service of Russia, the position of judges and practices on the execution of enforcement documents related with upbringing of children. A psychologist with the legal status of specialist is to be involved in this category of enforcement proceedings. Based on analysis, problems associated with the imperfection of separate legal norms were identified, as well as Insufficiently thought-over legal design of specialist status in enforcement proceedings were found. The authors make proposals on expanding the list of rights and toughening the responsibility of specialist in enforcement proceedings, as well as the proposal to provide a psychologist with right of making an acquaintance with the conclusion made by a forensic psychological or complex forensic psycho-psychiatric expertise. Based on the position of the judges and the absence of prohibition in carrying out of a special study made by a specialist in the enforcement proceedings, and the existing task for psychologist to evaluate psychological condition of a child, the authors conclude that the psychologist has the right to conduct a psychodiagnostic examination using scientific methods and techniques. The proposed measures to improve the legal norms are aimed to ensure a possibility of full and correct execution of adjudications on legal disputes related with upbringing of a child.

The article identifies groups of typical mistakes of psychological evaluations of underage persons in the situation of family divorce. It also highlights in detail procedural and institutional, methodological, structural, and deontological mistakes. The articles offers steps to change the practice of using psychological knowledge in civil legal proceedings of protecting child's interests after divorce.
The ability of juvenile offenders to take decisions in the context of assessing criminal procedural capacity
Authors: Fedonkina A.A.
Published: June 2018

The article presents various approaches to the issue of determining the ability of juvenile offenders to make decisions. The relevance of the study of this problem is due to the complexity of assessing the criminal procedural capacity of juvenile defendants. The article describes the views of foreign and domestic researchers on the issue of the ability to make decisions and its relationship to personal characteristics, presents various classifications of decision-making styles. Neuropsychological aspects of the ability to make decisions and its formation at different age stages are considered. Despite a large number of works in this area, an integrative approach to the study of the ability to make decisions by juvenile offenders, covering both cognitive and personal aspects, is not currently available in the literature. Comprehensive acquaintance with theoretical approaches to the study of the issue is necessary for the further development of a holistic conceptual approach to the study of the problem of the ability to make decisions by juvenile offenders.

Authors:   Institute of Control of Complex Systems, RAS, Rapoport E. , Pleshivtseva Yu. ,   Institute of Control of Complex Systems, RAS
Published: June 2018

This article describes the statements and suggests constructive technology for solving the wide class of problems of joint optimization of design and operating modes for complex structured, dimensionless, not well-determined systems with distributed parameters (SDP). The optimization problems are formulated with respect to complex efficiency criteria. SDP are described with operator equations of the general form with the appropriate initial and boundary conditions. As a basic problem, the deterministic problem of optimal design is considered to find program control of operational modes for distributed system with well-determined object characteristics. Suggested method for the problem solution is extended to the optimization problems for design solutions under conditions of a priori known external inputs on the object. The method is also applied to the complex problem of the joint optimization and to the typical cases of optimal design of the distributed system under conditions of interval uncertainty of the system’s parametric characteristics and external disturbances. Developed approach uses: the procedure of subsequent parameterization of problems' solutions that is based on well-known analytical conditions of optimality; precise reduction to the special problems of mathematical programming; alternance properties of extremum solutions that are similar to well-known results of theory of nonlinear Chebyshev's approximations; and fundamental regularities of the subject domain. The given example of an application of the received results to the optimal design problem solution for industrial object of the technological thermal physics is of a special interest. The formulation of the problem of distributed parameters system design as a complex problem of joint determination of the vector space-time control actions is new. The approach for development of program strategies of the decision making that can be extended to the considered problems class is also new.
THEORETICAL BASIS FOR DESIGN OF LOAD-BEARING STRUCTURES PRODUCED USING ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Authors:   Samara National Research University named after academician S.P. Korolev, Komarov V.
Published: June 2018

The article discusses interconnections and mutual influence between the triad of the basic engineering concepts – material, technology and structure. The possibilities for development of load-bearing structures, produced using additive technologies are analyzed. The task of optimal material distribution within a body of variable density is formulated and solved. An algorithm for topologic optimization of load-bearing structures, produced form a material of variable density, based on the criteria of minimal mass is proposed. General mechanical properties of the hypothetical material are assumed to be proportional to its density. The limitations of strength and rigidity are considered for single and multiple loading cases. The content of the concepts "optimal" and "rational" structure is discussed and refined. The "force factor" objective criterion, which takes into account the magnitude and extent of the action of internal forces, is proposed as a measure of comparison of the weight perfection of various designs and to estimate the design proximity to a theoretically optimal solution. The article presents examples of two and three dimensional structures. Future goals are formulated to develop new materials and methods for creating structures with variable density as one of the possible directions for the further development of additive technologies.

Authors:   Institute of Ecology of the Volga River Basin of the RAS, Rozenberg G.
Published: June 2018

Development of a pattern recognition system is comprised from a number of subtasks: formalization of the subject area, formation of a training sample, training of the recognition system, reduction of the dimensionality of the feature space, the problem of pattern recognition itself (based on the degree of similarity of the detected object with the training sample), recognition quality control, adaptation, inverse problem recognition, cluster and structural analysis, cognitive analysis. The article considers the formalization one of the subtasks (formation of the training sample). The conclusion about the "almost linear dependence" of the length of the training sequences and the dimensionality of the feature space is made using the proposed probabilistic model. Evaluation of the length of the training sequences for realistic values of model parameters is performed.
OBJECT-ORIENTED DECOMPOSITION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK’S PROGRAM LOGIC
Authors:   OOO “Intellect Soft”, Girin R. , Orlov S. ,   Samara State Technical University
Published: June 2018

The article presents a decomposition of neural networks logic for its implementation as a set of loosely coupled domain classes. The structural and functional decomposition of logic are considered. The technique of program logic decomposition is illustrated by UML diagrams. The implementation an artificial neural network’s logic in the C # language based on object-oriented approach is briefly described. A similar implementation was used in the design of neural networks configurations for subsequent training, operation, and experimentation. The proposed separation of program logic between classes, as well as providing weak connectivity between them simplifies the process of errors localization in the program code, makes the code more controllable, besides increased developer productivity. The examples demonstrated in the article show how the rational decomposition for neural network program logic with semantically mutually independent units in combination with "Dependency injection" concept, contributes to a more structured code. The new result is the application of object-oriented decomposition for neural network logic, which allows to significantly simplify the process of designing code. An example of testing the neural network decomposed logic is presented. The proposed approach to decomposition of artificial neural networks program logic can be applied to a wide range of different neural networks, such as convolutional, deconvolutional networks, the networks containing fully connective layers of neurons. In this case, the uniformity of implementation of neural networks to simplify their understanding of the causes reduces labor costs for maintenance and development of implementing their code.

The authors of the article state that in modern domestic terminology there is no notion and definition of the author's term. The traditional point of view is that the author's term is a term whose authorship is reliably known or is a term named after the discoverer of a scientific phenomenon. The authors of the article consider this approach to be erroneous and offer their own hypothesis: the author's term exists only within the original scientific hypothesis. This hypothesis is described by a system of interrelated concepts and terms, so there is no isolated authorial term. The authors of the article offer their own definition of the author's term. The author's term is a special sign created in the framework of the creative scientific concept, an element of a system of concepts interconnected in other terms and concepts of the original hypothesis, correlated by native speakers for specific purposes with a specific author's idea, an uncommon scientific picture of the world.

Published: June 2018

Some fundamentals of lifecycle concept for Complex Technical Systems are considered. The Complex Technical Systems lifecycle is a meta-system for computer-aided design, computer-integrated manufacturing and maintenance, enabling the mapping of Complex Technical Systems state changes during the period of its existence. Main lifecycle trends are both extension and detailing that leads to non-traditional design strategies and emergence of new design phases at the crossroad of research and development, design and tests. Within the framework of ontological approach design phases, levels, aspects and tasks are viewed. Here the phase of preliminary design (also called «research design») seen as a sort of «analytical synthesis» is of primary concern. An important role of various Non-Factors (uncertainty, imprecision, contradiction, fuzziness) in preliminary design is shown. A three-dimensional space for Non-Factors modeling is introduced and their classifications are suggested. On early stages of design a model-based approach is crucial: it deals with both models and parameters. Some original techniques and tools of representing design knowledge in a modelparametric space are developed. Besides, a multi-dimensional semantic-pragmatic space of design methods and languages based on bipolar scales is outlined. Two keynote principles for design languages – compatibility principle and complementarity principle – are formulated on the basis of semantic scale for languages. On the one hand, the support of designer’s creative thinking requires the use of both illustrative and cognitive graphics. On the other hand, two variants of General Design Theory are analyzed. By General Design Theory a formal design theory is meant that tends to describe the design concepts in terms of sets, topological spaces and calculi, in particular, higher-order predicate calculus. The analysis of formal systems shortcomings from the viewpoint of making real design decisions is performed. As a result, the need in bringing semiotic models into design science is justified. In the final part of the paper, basic definitions of semiotics together with sign classifications are given. The peculiarities of the transition from semiotic modeling to Applied Semiotics and Cognitive Semiotics are discussed. Cognitive Semiotics faces the problems of both knowledge acquisition from sign systems and the synthesis of sign-based structures in the context of knowledge engineering. Professor Yury R. Valkman was one of the pioneers in Cognitive Semiotics.

In the article the description of the development of an ontological model for semantic research portals is given. They are a new class of semantic portals focused on working with scientific and educational knowledge. Such portals allow supporting educational processes and processes of obtaining scientific knowledge in applied domains. The domain has been described by using problem-oriented models. Developing ontology includes: defining the end-user and application scenarios of ontology; the definition of requirements to the model; determination of the possibility of reusing existing ontologies; verification of the ontological model on the basis of competence issues. The existing models: VIVO, TEACH, FOAF, BIBO were utilized in the development of the described ontology model. The developed ontology model consists of several modules: module description of the user; a module for description of data sources; a module of the training resource; module for description of search results. A novelty of the approach lies is the way that domain knowledge is derived from open sources, taking into account the interests of the users of the portal and stored in the ontological model. The possibility of new portals is shown by the example of the portal developed for the ITMO University.

Sistemas fotovoltaicos estão assumindo um papel importante na integração de fontes renováveis na geração de energia. O número de conexões deste tipo de geração tem crescido consideravelmente nos últimos anos, trazendo consigo problemas como variação dos níveis de tensão, corrente, potência e frequência nos pontos com grande número de conexões. Logo, para que se possa manter estes níveis dentro de faixas aceitáveis e por ser uma fonte que possui característica intermitente torna-se necessária a integração de um sistema de armazenamento de energia (baterias, por exemplo) para o melhor aproveitamento da energia gerada. Para a conexão do sistema de geração ao banco de baterias torna-se necessário o uso de um conversor CC-CC com elevado ganho de tensão, bidirecionalidade no fluxo de potência e isolação galvânica. Neste trabalho, o conversor Dual Active Bridge (DAB) com modificação topológica na saída é utilizado para esta aplicação, sendo realizada a modelagem matemática do conversor através de dois métodos: o Modelo Médio Generalizado e a Linearização da Corrente de Saída. Além disso, uma análise comparativa entre os métodos é realizada e o projeto de um controlador de corrente para o DAB é desenvolvido. Por fim, os resultados experimentais são apresentados.

Authors: Lakhdar Rabhi , Abdelmadjid Benyekken
Published: June 2018

Bank deposit of all kinds is the main money source and lifeblood of the commercial bank, so that no other party has the right to receive the money from the public. The issue of deposit protection has received considerable attention from Islamic jurisprudence, for its role in achieving economic development through spreading confidence in depositors and increasing deposits, which leads to increased investment and financing operations. The Algerian legislation also gave great attention to bank deposits, with specific and detailed provisions, both in a bank law and in commercial law. Questions have been raised about the concept of bank deposits, its legal nature, and what protection it is for. These are described in this study on the protection of bank deposits in Islamic jurisprudence and Algerian legislation, relying on a collection of references and texts of jurisprudence and legal, as well as some websites. This study covers four axes regarding the relevant concept. First, a conceptual introduction to the key terms in this study. Second, the legal nature of bank deposits. Third, types of bank deposits; fourth, protection of bank deposits.
KONTRIBUSI IRAN TERHADAP SEJARAH PEMBAHARUAN HUKUM KELUARGA ISLAM: Potret Sistem Kewarisan Islam dan Wasiat Wajibah di Iran
Authors: Fauzinudin Muhammad
Published: June 2018

This article aims to analyze the extent to which the Iranian state, which is predominantly Shiite Muslims contribute in reforming the Islamic legal system, especially on inheritance by right and inheritance by will (wajibah). Both are interestingly studied because in the study of jurisprudence this term is a very fundamental topic (religious affairs involving others). Since this study is only a study of texts, the approach taken is to look at some of the chapter in the laws relating to inheritance prevailing in Iran and to relate them to the majority of schools there. This article concludes that in the Iranian shrimp system, a wife will get all the inheritance of her husband, not just half of heritage. She also obtained to get her husband's land that was previously banned in the old law. The cause of renewal of inheritance law in Iran state can not be separated from some aspects, covering normative and socio-political aspects as well as social reality, including the turbulence of difference of schools. All material of inheritance law and family is based on Shi'ah Itsna ‘Asyariyah (Ja‘fari) family law.

This article examines the fatwa of Bahtsul Masa’il on women using Critical Discourse Analysis. Two matters of research problem is how Bahtsul Masa’il fatwa on women and how the Critical Discourse Analysis of the fatwa Bahtsul Masa’il about women. There are twelve fatwa on women decided by Bahtsul Masa’il forum, seven of which talk about the role of women in the public world. They were analyzed using Critical Discourse Analysis framework involving three levels of analysis, namely text, social cognition and context. Texts of Bahtsul Masa’il decision on women represent women as being vulnerable to libel and can bring slander. Women are also represented as weak creatures who need supervision and protection of men. Fatwa text that is bias arises from the procedure of making fatwa which highly favor the yellow book. While the yellow book itself tends to put women in the private sphere and look down on women. In addition, the frame of the community producing Bahtsul Masa’il fatwa (religious leader and religius students) are also the result of the internalization of norms and values of yellow book as the idol at the pesantren. In context level, the fatwa which tends to give a negative identity toward women is born out of the context of the patriarchal society.

Let G be a graph with vertex set V=V(G) and edge set E=E(G). An injective function f:V --> {0,1,2,...,|E|} is called graceful labeling if f induces a function f*(uv)=|f(u)-f(v)| which is a bijection from E(G) to the set {1,2,3,...,|E|}. A graph which admits a graceful labeling is called a graceful graph. In this paper, we show that torch graph On is a graceful graph.

Published: June 2018

O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão na literatura acerca da assistência obstétrica no trabalho de parto e parto em mulheres de risco habitual, com o intuito de investigar essa assistência no cenário mundial e nacional. Para esse fim, realizou-se uma revisão nas bases de dados eletrônicas SciELO, PUBMED e BIREME. A ruptura artificial das membranas, ou amniotomia, apesar de ser um procedimento simples, não é isenta de riscos. Não existem evidências capazes de embasar a sua prática, efetividade e segurança; não sendo, portanto, recomendada como método de indução do parto. Porém, os estudos analisados demostram uso considerável de amniotomia, com taxas de 40% a 53,4%. Observou-se que a frequência de práticas desnecessárias, que devem ser evitadas e continuam sendo executadas de forma indiscriminada, ainda é significativa.

Authors: Araújo Mirella Macedo Parente , Carvalho Neto Raimundo Homero de , Oliveira Francisco Alberto Régio de
Published: June 2018

Gravidez abdominal é uma forma rara de gravidez ectópica com elevada morbidade e mortalidade para a mãe e o feto. O diagnóstico pode ser difícil devido à presença de sintomas inespecíficos e ocorre principalmente em centros com pouco recursos para saúde, onde o acompanhamento pré-natal é precário. Neste estudo, os autores apresentam o caso de uma paciente de 40 anos, atendida em um hospital-maternidade, com gravidez abdominal no curso de 37 semanas e sintomas inespecíficos. O diagnóstico foi realizado previamente ao parto por meio de exame ultrassonográfico, o qual identificou a presença de feto externamente ao útero. Foi realizado o parto por via abdominal com nascimento de neonato saudável. A gestação abdominal pode ser classificada em primária ou secundária segundo sua origem. As principais complicações maternas são sangramentos graves, fístulas intestinais e sepse. O feto pode apresentar malformações como assimetria craniofacial, deformidade de membros e sistema nervoso central. Quando realizado o diagnóstico precoce com menos de 20 semanas, pode ser orientado a interrupção da gestação ou um parto precoce, com 34 semanas, quando o diagnóstico é realizado após 20 semanas gestacionais.

Published: June 2018

O câncer é um problema de saúde pública. Apesar disso, é inegável que novas ferramentas diagnósticas em combinação com novas terapias, regimes de tratamento mais intensivos e melhores cuidados de suporte aumentaram a expectativa de vida dos pacientes portadores dessa enfermidade. Com o aumento da taxa de sobrevida nesses pacientes, houve um aumento, em paralelo, dos efeitos cardíacos adversos provocados pelas novas terapias. Atualmente, observa-se uma mudança no paradigma em relação ao prognóstico do paciente oncológico, que passa a ser visto como um portador de uma doença crônica. O presente protocolo tem como objetivo reduzir os riscos da cardiotoxicidade do tratamento quimioterápico, bem como disseminar recomendações práticas para a monitorização da função cardiovascular antes, durante e após o tratamento do paciente. Através da realização de ecodopplercardiogramas com strain seriados e dosagem de troponina antes e após os ciclos quimioterápicos, os pacientes serão seguidos, conjuntamente, no ambulatório de cardiologia e no serviço de oncologia para avaliação e tomada de decisões clínicas, no intuito de prevenir e oferecer tratamento precoce à cardiotoxicidade induzida por quimioterápicos, de acordo com fluxograma desenvolvido.

Published: June 2018

A plasticidade neuronal é expressão da capacidade adaptativa do sistema nervoso às mudanças ambientais, traduzindo-se fisiologicamente em alterações na excitabilidade e metabolismo neuronais em função da distribuição de cargas em ambos os lados das membranas celulares bem como da liberação de neurotransmissores nas fendas sinápticas. Portanto, mudanças nesses parâmetros do sistema motor podem alterar a atividade motora somática. Objetivo: determinar a ação de diferentes doses de Clonazepam combinado com exercício físico (natação) sobre a atividade motora em camundongos Swiss. Material e Métodos: camundongos Swiss (18 animais) foram submetidos a tratamento com Clonazepam e exercício físico. Determinou-se a atividade motora através do teste de “Campo aberto”. Resultados e Discussão: o Clonazepam (0,033mg/Kg) combinado com o exercício físico (natação) provocou aumento expressivo da atividade motora dos camundongos, contrariando de alguma forma o fenômeno de habituação ao ambiente, provavelmente devido a mecanismos relacionados à plasticidade neuronal, tais como depressão em longo termo (LTD) e potenciação em longo termo (LTP), desencadeados provavelmente pelo influxo de cloreto, estimulado pela ação do Clonazepam. Conclusões: O Clonazepam (0.033mg/Kg) combinado com atividade física aumentou a atividade motora, provavelmente através de mecanismos de plasticidade neuronal.
The Development of a 1-D Integrated Hydro-Mechanical Model Based on Flume Tests, to Unravel Different Hydrological Triggering Processes of Debris Flows
Authors: van Asch Theo W.J. , Yu Bin , Hu Wei
Published: June 2018

Many studies, which try to analyze conditions for debris flow development, ignore the type of initiation. Therefore this paper deals with the following questions: What type of hydro-mechanical triggering mechanisms for debris flows can we distinguish in upstream channels of debris flow prone gullies? Which are the main parameters controlling the type and temporal sequence of these triggering processes and what is their influence on the meteorological thresholds for debris flow initiation? A series of laboratory experiments were carried out in a flume, 8 m long and with a width of 0.3 m. to detect the conditions for different types of triggering mechanisms. The flume experiments show a sequence of hydrological processes triggering debris flows, namely erosion and transport by intensive overland flow and by infiltrating water causing failure of channel bed material. On the basis of these experiments an integrated hydro-mechanical model was developed, which describes Hortonian and Saturation overland flow, maximum sediment transport, through flow and failure of bed material. The model was calibrated and validated using process indicator values measured during the experiments in the flume. Virtual model simulations, carried out in a schematic hypothetical source area of a catchment show that slope angle and hydraulic conductivity of the bed material determine the type and sequence of these triggering processes. It was also clearly demonstrated that the type of hydrological triggering process and the influencing geometrical and hydro-mechanical parameters may have a great influence on rainfall intensity-duration threshold curves for the start of debris flows.
Emerging Quantum Fields Embedded in the Emergence of Spacetime
Authors: Diel Hans
Published: June 2018

Based on a local causal model of the dynamics of curved discrete spacetime, a causal model of quantum field theory in curved discrete spacetime is described. On the elementary level, space(-time) is assumed to consists of interconnected space points. Each space point is connected to a small discrete set of neighboring space points. Density distribution of the space points and the lengths of the space point connections depend on the distance from the gravitational sources. This leads to curved spacetime in accordance with general relativity. Dynamics of spacetime (i.e., the emergence of space and the propagation of space changes) dynamically assigns "in-connections" and "out-connections" to the affected space points. Emergence and propagation of quantum fields (including particles) are mapped to the emergence and propagation of space changes by utilizing identical paths of in/out-connections. Compatibility with standard quantum field theory (QFT) requests the adjustment of the QFT techniques (e.g., Feynman diagrams, Feynman rules, creation/annihilation operators), which typically apply to three in/out connections, to n > 3 in/out connections. In addition, QFT computation in position space has to be adapted to a curved discrete space-time.

This paper suggests that the growth effect of stock market development is sensitive to the choice of proxy and using alternative financial development indicators have practically no influence on the results. We found that using either the stock market capitalization to GDP ratio or the stock market returns; have a positive and significant effect on growth.  However, we cannot make same conclusion when one uses either the  ratio of total value of trades on the major stock exchanges to GDP or stock market turnover ratio to proxy for stock market development as the coefficient on these variables were found to be statistically insignificant. The indexes extracted from principal component analysis confirm the sensitivity of the effect to the choice of proxy. This finding suggest that stock market development is a conceptual terms, thus, representing it with single indicators make it impossible to identify which stock market development indicators have a significant positive growth effects.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is often resistant to conventional and targeted therapeutics. ERBB4 is expressed throughout normal brain and is an oncogene in several pediatric brain cancers; therefore, we investigated ERBB4 as a prognostic marker and therapeutic target in GBM. Using RT-qPCR, we quantified mRNA encoding total ERBB4 and known ERBB4 variants in GBM and non-neoplastic normal brain (NNB) samples. Using immunohistochemistry, we characterized the localization of total and phosphorylated ERBB4 (p-ERBB4) and EGFR protein in archived GBM samples and assessed their association with patient survival. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of ERBB4 phosphorylation on angiogenesis and tumorigenicity in GBM xenograft models. Total ERBB4 mRNA was significantly lower in GBM than NNB samples, with the JM-a and CYT-2 variants predominating. ERBB4 protein was ubiquitously expressed in GBM but was not associated with patient survival. However, high p-ERBB4 in 11% of archived GBM samples, independent of p-EGFR, was associated with shorter patient survival (12.0±3.2 months) than was no p-ERBB4 (22.5±9.5 months). Increased ERBB4 activation was also associated with increased proliferation, angiogenesis, tumorigenicity and reduced sensitivity to anti-EGFR treatment in xenograft models. Despite low ERBB4 mRNA in GBM, the functional effects of increased ERBB4 activation identify ERBB4 as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target.
The Critical Needs and Challenges for Genetic Architecture Studies in Africa

Published: June 2018

Human genetic studies have long been vastly Eurocentric, raising a key question about the generalizability of these study findings to other populations. Because humans originated in Africa, these populations retain more genetic diversity, and yet individuals of African descent have been tremendously underrepresented in genetic studies. The diversity in Africa affords ample opportunities to improve fine-mapping resolution for associated loci, discover novel genetic associations with phenotypes, build more generalizable genetic risk prediction models, and better understand the genetic architecture of complex traits and diseases subject to varying environmental pressures. Thus, it is both ethically and scientifically imperative that geneticists globally surmount challenges that have limited progress in African genetic studies to date while meaningfully including African investigators, as greater inclusivity and enhanced research capacity affords enormous opportunities to accelerate genomic discoveries that translate more effectively to all populations. We review the advantages and challenges of studying the genetic architecture of complex traits and diseases in Africa. For example, with greater genetic diversity comes greater ancestral heterogeneity; this higher level of understudied diversity can yield novel genetic findings, but some methods that assume homogeneous population structure and work well in European populations may work less well in the presence of greater diversity and heterogeneity in African populations. Consequently, we advocate for methodological development that will accelerate studies important for all populations, especially those currently underrepresented in genetics.

Social Identities and Statue in Torajan Communities Indonesia
Authors: Jayadi Karta
Published: June 2018

Since very few empirical endeavors have looked into statue and funerary art that represents social identities, this study aims to fill this gap. The research article aims to portray social status from the funeral arts, traditions and rituals. This longitudinal case study used interviews and a series of observations. The finding reveals that each funerary art represents particular class of noble families. Every funerary art also depicts specific insightful meaning for their noble families. The process of ritual and funeral ceremony is performed according to each status of noble families. This paper also describes the implication of the funerary art in social and cultural interactions.
An Ultra-Low-Power Bit-Serial Variable-Accuracy FFT Processor
Authors: Lu Yue , Kazmierski Tom
Published: June 2018

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for designing ultra-low-power FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) system suitable for use in energy harvesting powered sensors. Bit-serial architecture is adopted to reduce the power consumption of butterfly operation. Simulation results show that, compared with state-of-the-art bit-serial and conventional parallel processors, the proposed technique is superior in terms of silicon area, power consumption, dynamic energy use due to variable precision arithmetic. A sample design of a 64-point FFT shows that the implementation can save about 40% area and 36% leakage power compared with a conventional parallel counterpart, accordingly achieving significant power benefits at a low sample rate and low voltage domain. The dynamic variation of the arithmetic precision can be achieved through a simple modification of the controller with hardware area overhead of 10% gate count.
Preprints as a Hub for Early-Stage Research Outputs
Authors: Rittman Martyn
Published: June 2018

This paper explores whether preprints can better support open science by providing links to other early-stage research outputs. This potentially has benefits for transparency and discoverability of research projects. By looking at preprint submission systems, online preprints and surveying those who run preprint servers, I examined to what extent this is currently possible. No preprints server provided a complete service, however many allowed the linking of several open science elements from the abstract page. I looked at variation based on subject, age, and size of preprint server. In conclusion, authors posting preprints should consider the options provided by different preprint servers. It appears that open science is just one focus of preprint servers and further improvements will be dependent on preprint server policies and priorities rather than overcoming any technical difficulties.

Diagnosis of kidney diseases has recently become more comprehensive and accurate by using new renal markers. Despite the fact that creatinine and cystatin c have been sufficient in determining kidney function, they did not indicate the exact site of the damage and they were often insufficient in predicting the course of the disease. Aim of the study was to evaluate the potential correlations and differences in levels of six  factors related to kidney function and injury: kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), ncalbindin (CALB), glutathione S-transferase Pi (GST-Pi), calbindin and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), between renal patients with diabetic nephropathy (DM), congenital defects (CD) of the kidney and glomerulonephritis (GN). Study involved 75 patients: 49 with diabetic nephropathy, 12 with congenital defects and 14 with glomerulonephritis. Levels of renalase was measured using immunoenzymatic tests. Levels of other markers: calbindin, glutathione-S-transferase (GST-pi), interleukin-18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), were analyzed using Kidney Toxicity-1 Panel and BioPlex system, designed for analyses in urine and optimized by us for serum.From all analyzed markers, only levels of KIM-1 differed significantly between any subgroups, and that was for CD and DM. Renalase correlated significantly negatively with creatinine and positively with all other markers, apart from MCP-1. Obtained results indicate, that serum renalase, KIM-1, calbindin and GST-pi are related to kidney function, with KIM-1 being the most exact, while MCP-1 levels are unrelated to creatinine and glucose levels, does not differ between patients with diabetic nephropathy and other subgroups, and therefore seem to be independent of diabetes. Also, serum-optimized Kidney Toxicity Panel 1 kit for determination of selected markers gave results similar to previous ones and therefore the method can be valuable in determination of analyzed factors.
