Abstract

Background
Fundamental restoration of sculptures must include the research of pollution composition and exhibit surface condition as well as accurate identification of the materials of sculptures, bas-reliefs and coatings. In the recent years, studies of marble objects aimed at identification of contamination nature and composition have been developed. It should be noted that some exhibits have individual features as objects of restoration due to complex exposure to the environment, e.g. to fire.

Results
The article describes the results of surface contamination study on two exhibits from the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts collection. Marble relief sculpture “The Flagellation of Christ” was the main object of the study. Glazed terracotta (majolica) “Madonna Friedrichshain” was studied as a control sample with the same type of contaminations but with less sensitive surface. According to the results of different gas chromatography and X-ray fluorescence analyses, pollution compounds were identified as fatty alcohols, fatty acids and esters, part of which being residues of pyrolysis gasification, including those containing iron and lead. In order to gently clean the exhibits, several variants of chemical compounds were proposed based on various chelating agent mixtures, and, after studying their comparative effectiveness, the optimal scheme was chosen for removing existing contamination. For verification of marble exhibits safety, selected cleaning mixtures were tested on polished Carrara marble sample.

Conclusion
The most suitable scheme of organic contaminations removal including those containing iron and lead was suggested as part of restoration process. There is a number of working schemes of cleaning the surface of exhibits, however our proposed scheme interacts with the marble surface more gently because the target cleaning mixture composition was formulated taking into account the nature of pollutants and the least possible impact on the sample surface.

AbstractContextThe impact of mild TSH elevation (2.5–4.08 mIU/L) on pregnancy outcomes is unclear. The treatment strategy for mild TSH elevation is dependent on thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) status according to the guidelines.ObjectiveTo assess the effects of mild thyroid dysfunction combined with TPOAb status in the first trimester on pregnancy outcomes and the impact of levothyroxine (L-T4) treatment on pregnancy outcomes.DesignThe study retrospectively evaluated 3562 pregnant women. A total of 3296 untreated women were divided into 4 subgroups: group A: 4.08 &lt; TSH &lt;10 mIU/L, TPOAb+/-; group B: 2.5 &lt; TSH ≤ 4.08 mIU/L, TPOAb+; group C: 2.5 &lt; TSH ≤ 4.08 mIU/L, TPOAb–; and group D: 0.23 ≤ TSH ≤ 2.5 mIU/L, TPOAb+/-. The other 266 women with L-T4 treatment were divided into TSH 4.08 to 10 mIU/L and 2.5 to 4.08 mIU/L subgroups.SettingThe study was conducted at Peking University First Hospital in China.PatientsA total of 3562 pregnant women were evaluated.Main Outcome MeasuresThe incidence of pregnancy outcomes in the untreated subgroups (groups A-D) and treated subgroups were measured.ResultsMiscarriage and maternal composite outcome risks were 3.53 (1.85–6.75) and 2.19 (1.26–3.81) times greater in group A; 1.58 (1.17–2.13) and 1.27 (1.04–1.54) times greater in group C than in group D. L-T4 improved the miscarriage risk in the TSH 4.08 to 10 and 2.5 to 4.08 mIU/L groups but doubled the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in the TSH 2.5 to 4.08 mIU/L treated group compared with the untreated group.ConclusionsTSH 2.5 to 4.08 mIU/L combined with TPOAb– during early pregnancy was associated with miscarriages and maternal composite outcomes. The advantages and disadvantages of L-T4 administration in TSH 2.5 to 4.08 mIU/L pregnant women remain uncertain.
Self-compassion, coping with stress and the burnout syndrome among psychotherapists
Authors: Daniel-Sielańczyk Anna , Życińska Jolanta , Bąk-Sosnowska Monika 
Published: November 2019

Cel pracyW zawodzie psychoterapeuty, podobnie jak w innych zawodach pomocowych, istnieje wysokie ryzyko wypalenia zawodowego. Istotne wydaje się zatem znalezienie zasobów zapobiegających temu zjawisku. Jednym z nich, nowym w kontekście wypalenia zawodowego, jest współczucie wobec siebie (self-compassion), które traktuje się jako regulator emocjonalnego radzenia sobie ze stresem. Celem badania była analiza zależności między, współczuciem wobec siebie i stylem radzenia sobie ze stresem a wypaleniem zawodowym oraz ocena znaczenia stylu radzenia sobie ze stresem jako mediatorem pomiędzy współczuciem wobec siebie a wypaleniem zawodowym.MetodaBadanie przeprowadzone zostało w grupie 70 psychoterapeutów o średniej wieku 39,56 (SD = 8,18), w większości kobiet (94,3%). W badaniu przekrojowym zastosowano Kwestionariusz Wypalenia Zawodowego (Link Burnout Questionnaire, LBQ), Kwestionariusz Radzenia Sobie w Sytuacjach Stresowych (Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, CISS) oraz Skróconą Skalę Współczucia Wobec Siebie (Self-Compassion Scale – Short Form).WynikiW badaniu wykazano ujemny związek wyczerpania psychofizycznego oraz rozczarowania jako wymiarów wypalenia zawodowego ze współczuciem wobec siebie oraz dodatni związek rozczarowania ze stylem radzenia sobie skoncentrowanym na emocjach. Ujemny związek dotyczył współczucia wobec siebie i stylu skoncentrowanego na emocjach, brak było zależności w odniesieniu do stylu radzenia sobie skoncentrowanego na zadaniu oraz unikaniu. Analiza mediacji nie wykazała, by styl radzenia sobie ze stresem pośredniczył pomiędzy współczuciem wobec siebie a wypaleniem zawodowym w grupie psychoterapeutów.WnioskiUzyskane wyniki wskazują na to, że rozwijanie współczucia wobec siebie może zapobiegać wypaleniu zawodowemu bez efektu pośredniego radzenia sobie ze stresem.

Making The Drowned World Manifest: Re-reading Ballard’s Novel Through Art
Authors: Clement Tracey 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In 1970, J.G. Ballard used a London gallery as a laboratory in which to test ideas he was toying with, ideas that eventually found their way into his 1973 novel, Crash. Ballard found that art and literature were a fecund combination. Considering the richness of his imagery and the complexity of his ideas, it is not surprising that Ballard’s works have gone on to inspire artistic responses. Perhaps the most well known of these is Robert Smithson’s masterpiece, Spiral Jetty, 1970. However, most works inspired by Ballard’s writing respond to vague notions of things Ballardian rather than to a particular novel or short story. In this essay I will focus specifically on recent contemporary Australian artworks which were made in direct response to Ballard’s 1962 novel, The Drowned World, for a 2015 exhibition I initiated and coordinated titled Mapping The Drowned World. Using my own artworks as examples, as well as work made by fellow Australian artists Roy Ananda, Jon Cattapan and Janet Tavener, I will demonstrate that art and Ballard’s literature continue to make a great synergistic team: together they produce more than the sum of their parts.
On Copula-Itô processes
Authors: Jaworski Piotr 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
We study the dynamics of the family of copulas {Ct
}
t≥0 of a pair of stochastic processes given by stochastic differential equations (SDE). We associate to it a parabolic partial differential equation (PDE). Having embedded the set of bivariate copulas in a dual of a Sobolev Hilbert space H
1 (ℝ2)* we calculate the derivative with respect to t and the *weak topology i.e. the tangent vector field to the image of the curve t → Ct
. Furthermore we show that the family {Ct
}
t≥0 is an orbit of a strongly continuous semigroup of transformations and provide the infinitesimal generator of this semigroup.
IoT Applications in Wind Energy Conversion Systems

Abstract
Renewable energy reliability has been the main agenda nowadays, where the internet of things (IoT) is a crucial research direction with a lot of opportunities for improvement and challenging work. Data obtained from IoT is converted into actionable information to improve wind turbine performance, driving wind energy cost down and reducing risk. However, the implementation in IoT is a challenging task because the wind turbine system level and component level need real-time control. So, this paper is dedicated to investigating wind resource assessment and lifetime estimation of wind power modules using IoT. To illustrate this issue, a model is built with sub-models of an aerodynamic rotor connected directly to a multi-pole variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with variable speed control, pitch angle control and full-scale converter connected to the grid. Besides, a large number of various sensors for measurement of wind parameters are integrated with IoT. Simulations are constructed with Matlab/Simulink and IoT ’Thingspeak’ Mathworks web service. IoT has proved to increase the reliability of measurement strategies, monitoring accuracy, and quality assurance.

AbstractAn extensive review of the literature on the diagnostic and clinical accuracy of Kurjak’s antenatal neurodevelopmental test (KANET) and the summarized results of the multi-center study involving 10 centers revealed that four-dimensional ultrasonography (4D US) has become a powerful tool and KANET a valuable test that empowers the clinicians worldwide to evaluate the fetal behavior in a systematic way and contribute to the detection of fetuses that might be at high risk for neurological impairments and in particular cerebral palsy (CP). After 10 years of clinical use, many published papers and multi-center studies, hundreds of trained physicians and numerous tests performed all over the world, KANET has proven its value and has been showing encouraging results so far. The aim of this paper is to show the results from the studies done so far and to reveal the clinical value of the KANET. We expect that data from the larger ongoing collaborative study, the short- and long-term postnatal follow-up will continue to improve our knowledge. Ultimately, we all strive to prevent the CP disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurological impairments and we are convinced that KANET might be helpful in the realization of this important aim.

Object-Oriented Ontology’s View of Relations: a Phenomenological Critique
Authors: Ferro Floriana 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper is focused on the possibility of a dialogue between Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) and phenomenology, a dialogue concerning the problem of objects and relations. In the first part, the author shows what is interesting in OOO from a phenomenological perspective and why it should be considered as a challenge for contemporary philosophy. The second part develops the phenomenological perspective of the author, a perspective based on Merleau-Ponty’s “carnal” phenomenology, as well as some suggestions coming from the Italian school of Gaetano Kanizsa. The third part is dedicated to the objections of the author to the OOO view regarding the separation between objects and relations: a separation which leads to Harman’s quadruple object. In the concluding portion, the author shows that, despite evident differences between phenomenological and OOO’s views of relations, OOO offers new starting points for phenomenological reflections, thanks to its specific focus on objects and its pluralistic view of reality.
UAE Banks’ Performance and the Oil Price Shock: Evidence across Conventional and Islamic Banks
Authors: Kandil Magda Elsayed , Markovski Minko 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This study attempts to identify whether the oil price fall to a “new normal” in mid-September 2014 has had an impact on banks’ performance in the UAE, such as Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) in addition to credit and deposit growth. The sample is for a sample of 22 national banks in the country over a period of 15 quarters. The oil price fall has had a negative impact on all four banking indicators. In addition, the analysis evaluates the difference in ROA, ROE and credit and deposit growth by bank type, conventional vs. Islamic banks, across the sample of 22 banks. The results indicate that Islamic banks have a higher lending and deposit growth rates, however conventional banks tend to have better indicators of performance. Further, the oil price fall has impacted banks’ performance adversely, and the growth of assets and liabilities as a result of the slowdown in economic activity, fiscal consolidation, and decreasing levels of employment and corporate profitability. Further, Islamic banks, judged by lending and deposit growth, have managed to tailor their products to cater to a growing demand. However growth objectives appear to have reduced the margins of return in Islamic banks, compared to conventional banks.
Improving Imputation Quality in BEAGLE for Crop and Livestock Data

Published: November 2019

AbstractImputation is one of the key steps in the preprocessing and quality control protocol of any genetic study. Most imputation algorithms were originally developed for the use in human genetics and thus are optimized for a high level of genetic diversity. Different versions of BEAGLE were evaluated on genetic datasets of doubled haploids of two European maize landraces, a commercial breeding line and a diversity panel in chicken, respectively, with different levels of genetic diversity and structure which can be taken into account in BEAGLE by parameter tuning. Especially for phasing BEAGLE 5.0 outperformed the newest version (5.1) which in turn also lead to improved imputation. Earlier versions were far more dependent on the adaption of parameters in all our tests. For all versions, the parameter ne (effective population size) had a major effect on the error rate for imputation of ungenotyped markers, reducing error rates by up to 98.5%. Further improvement was obtained by tuning of the parameters affecting the structure of the haplotype cluster that is used to initialize the underlying Hidden Markov Model of BEAGLE. The number of markers with extremely high error rates for the maize datasets were more than halved by the use of a flint reference genome (F7, PE0075 etc.) instead of the commonly used B73. On average, error rates for imputation of ungenotyped markers were reduced by 8.5% by excluding genetically distant individuals from the reference panel for the chicken diversity panel. To optimize imputation accuracy one has to find a balance between representing as much of the genetic diversity as possible while avoiding the introduction of noise by including genetically distant individuals.
Beyond the Ruins of Embobut
Authors: Lunn-Rockliffe Sam 
Published: November 2019

The Embobut Forest, western Kenya, can be described as an entanglement of ruins. These ruins are the materialisation of a series of contested ecological debates and political decisions pivoting on the questions of conservation and community rights to land that have resulted in the violent dislocation of local Sengwer and Marakwet communities. In the first instance, this paper aims to contextualise these debates by offering an analytic focus on the process of ruination in order to offer a more nuanced narrative of landscape modification and changing human lives over the past century. Subsequently, I look beyond processes of ruination and towards notions of transformation, in an attempt expound how Embobut has not become a static world of passive ruins but rather is constantly changing as novel forms of dwelling and new ecological relationships continue to unfold in a manner not envisaged by conservation policy.
Detecting Modern Conflicts
Authors: Košir Uroš 
Published: November 2019

The paper examines the applicability of a metal detector survey and distribution analysis of mostly metal objects at four post-World War II mass execution sites in Ko?evski Rog, Slovenia. All locations were surveyed with the intent to gather the material evidence, reconstruct the events and identify areas of different activities. With the distribution analysis, we were able to reconstruct pathways leading through forest to the execution sites; places of untying, undressing and restricting of the victims; and places of shooting. Locations with discarded and sometimes burned clothing, equipment and personal belongings were also found, containing various metal and non-metal objects. Metal detector survey and distribution analysis of objects proved to be an excellent tool for researching, interpreting and reconstructing poorly documented events, such as World War II and post-war extrajudicial mass executions.
Dianoia w Etykach Arystotelesa
Authors: Gródek Wojciech Kleofas 
Published: November 2019

Artykuł jest próbą wyjaśnienia znaczenia terminu dianoia w Etykach Arystotelesa. Z analiz tekstów Arystotelesa wynika, że dianoia jest stosowaniem myślenia (to noein), które dotyczy bycia (to einai). Dlatego dianoia jest czynnością potwierdzenia (kataphasis), „że jest”, lub zaprzeczenia (apophasis), „że nie jest”. Mając na uwadze fakt, że dianoia jest własnością duszy mającej logos, Arystoteles zastanawia się jakie jest jej znaczenie w postępowaniu (praxis) człowieka. Termin dianoia odgrywa ważną rolę w Arystotelesowskim oposie postanowienia (prohairesis) i dobrowolności (hekousion). W przypadku postanowienia, które jest przyczyną postępowania, dianoia, jeżeli potwierdza propozycję, przyznaje rację (logos) a jeżeli zaprzecza, odmawia racji. Natomiast postępowanie dobre lub złe musi być dobrowolne. Postępowanie jest dobrowolne, jeśli jest postępowaniem z siebie (eph’ heauton). To natomiast jest możliwe dzięki myśleniu (dianoian). Dobrowolne postępowanie może być dobre dzięki rozsądkowi (phronesis), który jest doskonałością dianoetyczną. Takie postępowanie jest więc według prawidłowej racji (kata ton orthon logon).
Rola etosu mieszczańskiego w badaniach naukowych. Krótki esej o rzetelności i uczciwości
Authors: Żardecka Magdalena 
Published: November 2019

Artykuł jest próbą ukazania nauki jako wielkiego przedsięwzięcia intelektualnego, u podstaw którego stoją mieszczańskie cnoty rzetelności i uczciwości. Znajdują one odzwierciedlenie w metodologii nauk, która kładzie akcent na skrupulatne przestrzeganie reguł naukowych i stosowanie ściśle określonych metod badawczych. Poznanie naukowe ma się cechować obiektywizmem oraz krytycyzmem, musi zatem (1) dążyć do wyeliminowania wszelkich czynników pozapoznawczych oraz (2) wielokrotnie sprawdzać zasadność wszelkich twierdzeń naukowych i skrupulatnie analizować naukowe dowody i argumentacje.
Uczciwość a ideały społeczne. W poszukiwaniu nowego wzorca
Authors: Zuziak Władysław 
Published: November 2019

The article considers the problem of the depreciation of standards of integrity in modern societies. It indicates the relations between social ideals and standards defining the implementation of these ideals. In this context, it invokes the thesis of T. Merton, who claims that the standards that hinder the realization of ideals tend to be eliminated from social life. This happens with the standard of integrity in societies where the main ideal is to achieve success in the economic dimension.The changes in the axiological field are associated with moving away from the elite culture model and choosing an egalitarian model. Liberal ideals in this model are tailored to the needs of the mass. Personal values are replaced with utilitarian values. Egalitarianism, rejecting the elite imperative to improve, leads to resentment. The consequence of this process is depreciating values and moral standards.The society becomes aware of the bareness of the egalitarian model of culture. Signs of dissatisfaction with the current model and the ideal associated with it become visible, because the degeneration of moral standards leads to the loss of the sense of safety and to the corrosion of people’s relationships.The history shows that the two described models compete with each other and alternate. Armed with this knowledge, we can support the attempts to develop the elite social projects that are still waiting for a new synthesis.
