Moth Flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) of the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts and Podbeskydská pahorkatina Upland, Czech Republic, II.
Authors: Kroča Jiří , Ježek Jan 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Here we present first records of three moth fly species in the Czech Republic (Katamormia bezzii Salamanna, 1983, Panimerus goodi Vaillant & Withers, 1992 and Pneumia fonticola (Szabó, 1960)), increasing the total number of Czech moth fly species to 179. Katamormia bezzii represents the first finding outside of Italy, while P. goodi is only the second record outside of its type locality (Ireland), as is Peripsychoda zbytka Ježek, 2004 (Bohemia or.) and Pneumia kabelaki Omelková & Ježek, 2012 (Bílé Karpaty PLA). Jungiella (Psychocha) janiki Omelková & Ježek, 2017 has only been found at five sites (incl. the type locality) in the Bílé Karpaty Mts so far. The current number of species from the northwest part of the Czech Carpathians now totals 116. Altogether, 32 species were included in the national Red List of threatened invertebrates (Ježek 2005), with 23 species categorised as ‘nationally scarce’. Maximum alpha diversity was 61 species (71 as the sum of two seasons) at SKM OR 1 in the Skalická Morávka National Nature Monument (NNM), with maximum beta diversity also recorded at the Skalická Morávka NNM, with 82 species from three localities.
The Contempt of Public Property: the Datooga Salt Fracas and the Resistance against Colonial Definition of Property in Central Tanzania (1923-1927)
Authors: Mhajida Samwel 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper discusses the Datooga resistance to the British land law as announced by the Land Ordinance in 1923. The discussion centres itself in the provocation that the law implied and commanded on the local Datooga’s ownership and control of the natural resources within the jurisdiction of the chief. The Datooga as shown in the paper were probably the first to openly resist the public ownership of resources as announced by the Ordinance, because for the Datooga the land resources, particularly the salt deposits from Balangida Lalu or any other that fell within the reach and borders of their chief’s power were completely Datooga. The pinnacle of this contradiction is whether local chiefs in colonial Tanganyika understood the limits of what the British had claimed to offer to the local chiefs or they sometimes needed to resist what they considered undesirable situation. The salt fracas in Mbulu district that the paper discusses is an indicator of the irony of colonialism that offered local chiefs political power which the recipients could not use beyond the colonial framework.
Adaptation of Sukuma Loanwords in the Western Dialects of Datooga (Taturu) and its Dialectological Implications
Authors: Lusekelo Amani 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The exchange of linguistic materials between languages which come into contact is indeed reciprocal. The previous accounts of the outcome of contact between Datooga and Sukuma was skewed towards impact of Datooga on Sukuma. Based on ethnolinguistic vitality approach, the Datooga tend to reveal solidarity-related social identity by acquiring their language as a mother tongue. They also reveal prestige-related social identity by acquiring Sukuma language which is the prestigious lingua franca of the Itumba area in Igunga District. Moreover, the Datooga envisaged mechanisms to either isolate out-group members using their ethnonyms. Based on a list of 250 loanwords, this paper highlights the substitutive borrowing of kinship terms and additive borrowing of agricultural terms. The Sukuma loanwords penetrate into the Datooga lexicon.
Folk and Literary Reflections on the Culture of Northwest Coast Indians of the Puget Sound Area of North America
Authors: Botiková Marta 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Vi Hilbert, collector, performer and activist who worked with the folklore material of the northwestern region, has found somebody to follow in her footsteps in the promotion of the local culture and literature. This somebody is Sherman Alexie, a writer, publicist, poet and scriptwriter who has published around 30 books to date. Like Vi Hilbert, Sherman Alexie, who is three generations younger, proclaims his Native American heritage. He represents it and helps other readers and interested people understand, or join the path towards building this identity. His texts are characterised by a humorous distance as well as an excellent gift of observation. Alexie is one of the most significant figures of the literature of the indigenous Americans and is a textbook example of a new type of narration, which has deep roots in this region and is nurtured. His early works were a great surprise at the time of their publication, both for readers from the Native American community and other Americans. From an ethnological point of view, they are not only a factual source of knowledge, but also provide a perspective for evaluating the culture emically.
Reconfiguration of distribution system with distributed generation using an adaptive loop approach
Authors: Šošić Darko , Stefanov Predrag 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
A new concept of switches selection in the meta-heuristic optimization process of optimal distribution network reconfiguration has been proposed. Based on the adaptive set of selectable candidates, the proposed concept determines the switch status. This approach prevents the creation of unfeasible solutions (non-radial and unconnected configurations), and significantly reducing the number of searches and accelerating the optimization process. Unfeasible solutions, created by meta-heuristic optimization rules, can be corrected by means of the proposed adaptive loop concept. The correct parts of the unfeasible solution are retained, while only the defective parts are replaced by the adaptively formed loops from the currently available conditions that respect the correct switching operations. In this way, the basic characteristics of the optimization process have been retained to the greatest possible extent. Tests were performed on a two different size standard distribution networks.
A new approach to enhance the accuracy of selective harmonics-elimination technique for digital controllers
Authors: Hamed Hany A. , Al Mansoori Fatima N. , Bayoumi Ehab 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The selective harmonic elimination (SHE) is a preferable modulation technique in medium and high power converters applications as it enables for using low switching frequency with high flexibility to eliminate specific harmonics. The digital implementation of the SHE is a challenging issue as it requires a very accurate generation of the switching pulses. The theoretical calculation of the switching angles cannot guarantee the same results when digitally implemented by digital controllers. The digitizing process with a relatively low sampling frequency due to the digital implementation introduces error for each applied switching angle. Consequently, the applied switching angles will not match the theoretical ones resulted in residual errors for the selected harmonics that should be eliminated. This paper presents a new approach to improve SHE accuracy by online prediction and implementing of the closest true angles to minimize the residual harmonics.

Authors: Li Jia-Lin , Yu Bao-Guo 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
A four-way network with 45 deg output phase shifts for feeding antenna array is studied in this work. To widen the phase imbalance, quarter wavelength short stubs with suitable characteristic impedances are introduced and numerically analyzed. Meanwhile, the wideband magnitude imbalance is also discussed by extending the inter-stage transmission line with proper electric length. The study is further confirmed by developing a prototype feeding network centered at 3 GHz. Results from the fabricated prototype network exhibit wideband good performance, both from numerical evaluations and experimental demonstrations.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The paper discusses the optimizing possibilities in terms of use of public transportation that is very necessary considering the difficulty of increasing the capacity of the road with widen road infrastructure in an effort to manage “supply”. Therefore, an alternative approach when managing “demand” for transportation system can be controlled. This is especially needed in settlements newly developed rapidly in Deli Serdang Regency, namely in the Galang Region. The region Galang area with a population of 613 working people with details of 189 civil servants and 424 private employees who the majority (94%) use private transportation. One aspect that is studied within this manuscript is the amount of transportation costs of travel to work using private transportation (motorcycle) and public transportation (angkot or mikrolet). Transportation selection modeling is done using the Bi-nomial Model Binary Logit. Based on the analysis of the results obtained, it can be concluded that, if the difference in transportation costs with private transport getting bigger, the opportunities to use this mode will increase. The balance between the costs and using private and public transport is maintained if the costs of private transport are 1.4 times greater than the cost public transportation.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
3D - Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) for decades was a standard technique in the prostate cancer radical radiotherapy treatment. Technological advances and implementation of an innovative radiotherapy technique-Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), enable even more precise treatment of the prostate cancer patients. Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is a technological advancement in Conformal Radiotherapy which allows superior conformity and homogeneity of the absorbed dose in planning target volume with maximal sparing organs of risk. This technique gives us possibility to escalate the radiotherapy dose, prerequisite for the adequate local tumor control. Evaluation of dosimetric parameters 3DCRT vs. IMRT: the homogeneity index, the conformity index, parameters of absorbed dose in planning target volume, dose volume constraints for organs of risk shows that IMRT is an optimal technique in the prostate cancer radical treatment.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The need for economic diversification as Nigeria’s economic crisis heightens and the apparent neglect of the hospitality and tourism sector jointly motivate this study. The paper analyzes the contribution of the hospitality and tourism sector to Nigeria’s national development. The study uses the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression method to analyze the data which span from 1981 to 2017. The results show evidence of a positive and strong relationship between the contribution of the sector and real gross domestic product (RGDP) in Nigeria. Hospitality and tourism sector is estimated to contribute a total of 48.96% variation in RGDP between 1981 and 2017 in Nigeria. From the regression result, the contribution of the hospitality and tourism sector is having a significant positive impact on RGDP. The study is suggesting that the government ought to make an empowering situation for the area to thrive and affect more on national advancement. The examination suggests the arrangement of satisfactory foundations, financing, security, and good roads enhance patronage and accessibility to various tourism destinations in Nigeria.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Many famous intellectuals, artists and writers stress various positive aspects of reading. Scientific research in medicine and psychology also prove the positive outcomes of reading. Therefore, it is not a surprise that books are highly valued by societies. Nevertheless, book reading seems to be a rarity in some societies. Although reading is beneficial, the book market is not flourishing in many countries, including Romania. The present paper sets a framework for developing marketing strategies that could be used by Romanian publishers to attract more readers. The methodology comprises two parts. A first section is dedicated to the Romanian book market. Investigating its specificity helps us pinpoint the references for successful marketing strategies. The second part is based on the analysis of the scarce literature on marketing in the book industry in order to identify key aspects and vulnerabilities of marketing strategy in this sector.

Intratumoral continuous facial nerve stimulation for surgical resection of cystic vestibular schwannoma: Technical note
Authors: Miyashita Katsuyoshi , Kimura Ryouken , Tamai Sho , Tanaka Shingo , Kinoshita Masashi , Hayashi Yasuhiko , Nakada Mitsutoshi 
Published: November 2019

Background:
Cystic vestibular schwannomas (CVSs) account for about 10% of VS. The efficacy of continuous facial nerve stimulation (CFS) was previously reported; however, it is often difficult to place the electrode at the root exit zone (REZ) in the early stage of surgical resection. We proposed a new method of intratumoral CFS (ICFS) by searching for the facial nerve through the cyst wall and leaving the spherically shaped electrode at this point.

Methods:
The cyst wall was opened, and the ventral side of the tumor wall was stimulated to search for the positive point of facial nerve stimulation and place the spherically shaped electrode for continuous stimulation at this point through the cyst cavity (intensity: 0.2–1.5 mA, frequency: 1 Hz). Safe surgical resection could be performed under ICFS in all three cases.

Results:
Good preservation of the facial nerve and extent of resection that was estimated preoperatively was achieved in all cases.

Conclusion:
ICFS is suitable for the preservation of facial nerve function in surgical resection of CVS in cases in which electrode placement at the REZ is difficult.
Many Intraoperative Monitoring Modalities Have Been Developed To Limit Injury During Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF/MIS XLIF): Does That Mean XLIF/MIS XLIF Are Unsafe?
Authors: Epstein Nancy E. 
Published: November 2019

Background:
Extreme lateral interbody fusions (XLIF) and Minimally Invasive (MIS) XLIF pose significant risks of neural injury to the; lumbar plexus, ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genitofemoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, and subcostal nerves. To limit these injuries, many intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) modalities have been proposed.

Methods:
Multiple studies document various frequencies of neural injuries occurring during MIS XLIF/XLIF: plexus injuries (13.28%); sensory deficits (0-75%; permanent 62.5%); motor deficits (0.7-33.6%; most typically iliopsoas weakness (14.3%-31%)), and anterior thigh/groin pain (12.5-25%.-34%). To avoid/limit these injuries, multiple IONM techniques have been proposed. These include; using finger electrodes during operative dissection, employing motor evoked potentials (MEP), eliminating (no) muscle relaxants (NMR), and using “triggered” EMGs.

Results:
In one study, finger electrodes for XLIF at L4-L5 level for degenerative spondylolisthesis reduced transient postoperative neurological symptoms from 7 [38%] of 18 cases (e.g. without IONM) to 5 [14%] of 36 cases (with IONM). Two series showed that motor evoked potential monitoring (MEP) for XLIF reduced postoperative motor deficits; they, therefore, recommended their routine use for XLIF. Another study demonstrated that eliminating muscle relaxants during XLIF markedly reduced postoperative neurological deficits/thigh pain by allowing for better continuous EMG monitoring (e.g. NMR no muscle relaxants). Finally, a “triggered” EMG study” reduced postoperative motor neuropraxia, largely by limiting retraction time.

Conclusion:
Multiple studies have offered different IONM techniques to avert neurological injuries following MIS XLIF/XLIF. Does this mean that these procedures (e.g. XLIF/MIS XLIF) are unsafe?
Identifying and Tracking Defects in Dynamic Supramolecular Polymers
Authors: Gasparotto Piero , Bochicchio Davide , Ceriotti Michele , Pavan Giovanni M. 
Published: November 2019

A central paradigm of self-assembly is to create ordered structures starting from molecularmonomers that spontaneously recognize and interact with each other via noncovalent interactions.In the recent years, great efforts have been directed toward reaching the perfection in thedesign of a variety of supramolecular polymers and materials with different architectures. Theresulting structures are often thought of as ideally perfect, defect-free supramolecular fibers,micelles, vesicles, etc., having an intrinsic dynamic character, which are typically studied at thelevel of statistical ensembles to assess their average properties. However, molecular simulationsrecently demonstrated that local defects that may be present or may form in these assemblies, and which are poorly captured by conventional approaches, are key to controlling their dynamicbehavior and properties. The study of these defects poses considerable challenges, as theflexible/dynamic nature of these soft systems makes it difficult to identify what effectively constitutesa defect, and to characterize its stability and evolution. Here, we demonstrate the powerof unsupervised machine learning techniques to systematically identify and compare defects insupramolecular polymer variants in different conditions, using as a benchmark 5°A-resolutioncoarse-grained molecular simulations of a family of supramolecular polymers. We shot that thisapproach allows a complete data-driven characterization of the internal structure and dynamicsof these complex assemblies and of the dynamic pathways for defects formation and resorption.This provides a useful, generally applicable approach to unambiguously identify defects inthese dynamic self-assembled materials and to classify them based on their structure, stabilityand dynamics.
