Archiving the contemporary art of dance in Serbia: Issues with institutionalization, or on betraying the ‘Independence’ of the local dance scene
Authors: Ivić Milica , Koruga Igor 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
After models that have been used so far on the local dance scene, there is a hybrid area of research that stood out in the vast field of research – the question of the institutional status/position of contemporary dance as an art practice, or in an even broader sense – a world of art, whose core value and political position in relation to the local scene was explicitly described as independent from institutions of art and culture. Our research into this issue was based mainly in interviewing eight independent choreographers who have worked with local institutions of dance and drama, primarily through artistic collaborations with directors of institutional drama theatres; we also gathered information in informal talks with other stakeholders in the performing arts. By juxtaposing a theoretical model of institutionalization of each art practice against a hybrid area of research such as this one, this text provides a very brief overview of all these issues as well as the discoveries and dilemmas that we came across during our research.

The Expression of Case in Hittite Writing
Authors: Cajnko Mojca 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThe introduction to the article presents writing as a semiotic system by applying some key terms from Eco’s semiotics (1979) to Hittite writing. It then draws on modern case theory to describe case as a syntactic-semantic relationship which may be expressed by various means. The main part of the paper presents the different ways in which case could be expressed in Hittite writing. This paper is therefore only the beginning of research on case in Hittite writing. It offers a theoretical basis for further studies on this topic which will enable a more comprehensive understanding of the complex case system in Hittite.
MAH 15896: A Tablet from Ur?
Authors: Cavigneaux Antoine , Clevenstine Emmert 
Published: June 2018

AbstractMAH 15896 records the sale of an orchard in the 35th year of King Rīm-Sîn of Larsa. Although the tablet is unprovenanced, stylistic and prosopographic evidence strongly suggest that it comes from Ur. The names of the contracting parties and witnesses provide interesting links to individuals and families known from a number of documents in other collections.
Bemerkungen und Kollationen zu den altbabylonischen Alltagstexten in Leipzig (LAOS 1, Nr. 39–50)
Authors: Földi Zsombor 
Published: June 2018

AbstractIn the following communication, the results of collations conducted on the Old Babylonian archival documents of the Altorientalisches Institut of the Universität Leipzig in 2014 are presented. These results allow for a more precise determination of the tablets’ dates, places of origin, as well as their connections to already-known individuals’ activities and dossiers (‚archives‘). The importance of this data is crucial, because all of the material was acquired on the antiquities market early on in the 20th century, and therefore nothing is known about the archaeological context of these tablets. The paper closes with remarks on three Ur III documents of the same collection.
Effects of white rot and brown rot decay on the drilling resistance measurements in wood
Authors: Sharapov Evgenii , Brischke Christian , Militz Holger , Smirnova Elena 
Published: June 2018

AbstractAn IML-RESI PD 400 drilling tool and a standard spade drill bit (IML System GmbH, Wiesloch, Germany) were used to study the impact of white and brown rot decay on drilling resistance (DR) measurements in wood. In total, 720 drillings were made in specimens of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestrisL.) heartwood and sapwood, European beech (Fagus sylvaticaL.) and English oak (Quercus roburL.), which were decayed byConiophora puteanaandTrametes versicolor. Drillings were made with specimens conditioned in normal climate (20°C/65% RH) and with specimens vacuum-impregnated in water. DR and feeding force (FF) were negatively correlated with mass loss (ML) due to fungal decay. The intensity of reduction was higher for DR than for FF with increasing ML for all decay types and moisture contents (MCs). A significant difference (at 95% confidence level) in DR was found between decay types using water-saturated (WS) Scots pine specimens (3–35% ML). In most cases, DR revealed a higher predictive power of the models for ML prediction than FF. Free water in decayed specimens significantly reduced the DR and FF. Hence, the effect of ML on DR and FF of decayed and WS wood was less prominent.
What are the Most Widely Used and Effective Attack Coverage Systems in Men’s Volleyball?

Published: June 2018

Abstract
In volleyball, attack coverage is one of the play actions most neglected in coaching and research. The purpose of this study was to find out which attack coverage systems are used by high-level men’s teams in different game situations and the characteristics of the most effective systems. We analysed 15 matches from the 2010 Men’s Pan-American Volleyball Cup, with a total of 1,415 coverage actions. Chi-square tests for independence, adjusted residuals analysis and calculations of standardised mean difference were performed. The results show that high-level men’s volleyball uses many coverage systems other than the traditional 3-2-0 and 2-3-0. At this level of play, the most frequent systems were 1-3-1 and 1-2-2, which occurred significantly often at the culmination of a third-tempo attack at the wing. The most effective systems consisted of three coverage lines, with fewer than five players covering the spiker and at least one player in the first coverage line, in both the attack and counterattack phases. Given the large number of coverage systems identified in different game situations, we recommend flexible, loosely structured training in these systems, based on a set of guiding principles that all players on a team must internalise for the specific position they are playing. Regarding the systems’ efficacy, the main watchword is that on each coverage line there should always be at least one player, but the first line should not be exposed.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Scientific literature has stated the presence of various stages in athletes sportive development, with different objectives in each one of them. This should lead coaches to different training plans according to the athlete’s formation stage. The aim of this study was to analyse training plans and identify differences in basketball objectives according to formative stages (U’12 and U’14) in boys and girls. A total of 1,976 training tasks were collected and analysed, for a total of four teams (girls and boys of U’12 and U’14 categories) during an entire season. Pedagogical variables, game phases, game situations, training means and content were studied. The results showed significant differences between genders. Girls’ teams performed more tasks on offense and technical skills. By contrast, boys’ teams performed more defensive tasks and tactical contents. The 1-on-0 and 1-on-1 were the most repeated game situations in all teams. Coaches used different training tasks according to gender and age. In male U’12 teams, drills predominated, whereas in the other categories, games predominated. For boys’ teams, the contents were tactical oriented, and for girls’ teams, the contents were oriented toward skill acquisition. Studying the pedagogical variables of the training process allowed for identification of the utility of training, assessment, and modification of this process.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
In order to investigate the physical demands of widely used in soccer small-sided games (SSGs), we compared game variations performed under different interval (fixed or variable) and timing regimens (beginning or end of a training session). Twelve male players wore GPS devices during the SSGs to record total distance, relative distance, distance at different speeds, and maximum velocity variables. Four variations of SSGs (4x4) were randomly applied: beginning of a training session with fixed and variable recovery, or end of a training session with fixed and variable recovery. During the beginning or end of a training session settings with fixed recovery duration, 2-min of playing and 2-min of recovery were provided. During the beginning and end of a training session settings with variable recovery, athletes kept playing until a goal was scored, or up to 2-min if no goals were scored. Results were analysed using MANOVA. Total distance and relative distance were higher in the beginning compared to end of training sessions for both fixed and variable recovery duration (small to moderate effect sizes). Distance at various speed ranges (i.e., 13-18 km/h and >18 km/h) was higher (p ≤ 0.01) at the beginning than at the end of training sessions with variable recovery. In addition, distance >18 km/h was higher at the beginning of a training session with variable recovery than fixed recovery and at the end of a training session with variable recovery than fixed recovery. In conclusion, several physical demand characteristics are affected by the moment of SSG application, while others respond to the recovery regime during SSGs, thus providing indications to the coaches to prescribe the intended training intensity by manipulating the context.
Synthesis, COX-1/2 inhibition and antioxidant activities of new oxicam analogues designed as potential chemopreventive agents

Published: June 2018

Oxicams (e.g. piroxicam, meloxicam) are widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). A large body of evidence from epidemiological and preclinical studies has shown that NSAIDs have a chemopreventive effect on different types of cancer, especially in colorectal cancer. Moreover mounting evidence from preclinical and clinical studies suggests that persistent inflammation functions as a driving force in the journey to cancer. What is more, inflammation induces reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which cause damage to important cellular components (e.g., DNA, proteins and lipids), which can directly or indirectly contribute to malignant cell transformation. In this study, we discuss the synthesis and the resultant newly synthesised oxicam derivatives which are potentially chemopreventive, and at the same time antioxidant. Compound 9c with highest therapeutic index in the LoVo cancer cell line was found to be the most efficient at ROS scavenging activity in the condition of oxidative stress.
Circuitos transmediáticos en un mundo postanálogo
Authors: Acevedo-Merlano Álvaro Alfonso , Martínez Dueñas William Andrés 
Published: June 2018

Actualmente, alrededor del mundo existe una gran tendencia al consumo de productos culturales transmediáticos como los videojuegos, los cómics, el manga, y el animé, lo que ha llevado a que surjan dinámicas de tecno-socialidad[1] que permitieron que emergieran identidades como la de los geeks o los otakus. Estas socialidades son cada vez más comunes a escala global y se hacen presentes en la cotidianidad de millones de personas; son nutridas a través de las industrias del entretenimiento que son de carácter transnacional y facilitadas por la implementación y uso de las TIC a nivel local, que posibilita la creación de redes y la consolidación de colectividades entre sujetos que comparten un gran entramado socio-técnico. En estas dinámicas predominan representaciones del mundo caracterizadas por utopías o distopías, cuyas estéticas constantemente construidas y deconstruidas entran a constituir las existencias de estas comunidades y sus sujetos. Proponemos de manera provisional este concepto, retomando el de biosocilidad de Rabinow (1996), que hace referencia a sociabilidades construidas en torno enfermedades, condiciones de riesgo e intervenciones en el cuerpo (en una editorial previa mencionamos el caso del fitness Martínez-Dueñas, [2016]). A pesar de que estas socialidades no solo se consolidan en torno a las TIC, si consideramos que son estas tecnologías las que ofrecieron el sustrato básico para que emergieran.
English Language and its Importance of Learning it in Albanian Schools
Authors: Balla Ervin 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Taking into consideration many factors that indicate that the English language has taken an important place in communication and its use by millions in the whole world has become a necessity and not an unecessary subject in the teaching process in Albanian universities. As a result of that many countries including Albania are seeing an increase of the demand for teaching the English language since the first grades. Also it is found necessary the addition of classes of foreign languages in Albanian schools and universities. The curricula of the language is enriched each year and the new methods are becoming more profitable in teaching the language. Naturally teaching the English at school is becoming important not only academically but also in the practical aspect of learning, such as using language for various purposes such as business purposes, communication, reading foreign books especially in literature or other types. In the aspect of learning the language in the school not only the book is important but also other factors need to be taken into account.

Vivemos uma profunda crise política na América Latina e no mundo. No caso concreto do Brasil, no contexto dos escândalos de corrupção que envolvem quase todos os partidos e os mais diversos âmbitos e órgãos do Estado e da espetacularização midiática seletiva desses escândalos, uma onda direitista reacionária vem ameaçando e destruindo as poucas conquistas sociais das últimas décadas (direitos trabalhistas e previdenciários, políticas sociais, direitos das chamadas minorias etc.) e colocando em xeque até mesmo as regras do Estado Democrático de Direito alcançadas na constituição de 1988. E, o que é mais grave, com a cumplicidade de grupos e setores religiosos conservadores-fundamentalistas que, na contramão do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo, semeiam intolerância e ódio, produzem e propagam mentiras (fakenews), ameaçam a laicidade do Estado e afrontam os direitos humanos (pobres, indígenas, negros, mulheres, LGBTs)...

Published: June 2018

Objective.Autonomic dysfunction is a known complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) that can affect vascular tone, gastrointestinal (GI) motility, heart rate, and blood pressure control. We sought to quantify autonomic symptom burden in SSc, and to define the characteristics of patients with SSc and autonomic dysfunction.Methods.Patients with SSc were consecutively recruited during routine clinical visits at the Johns Hopkins Scleroderma Center and asked to complete the Composite Autonomic Symptom Score (COMPASS)-31 questionnaire, a validated tool to assess symptoms of autonomic dysfunction. We determined the relationship between various clinical and serological features of SSc and the total COMPASS-31 scores and domain-specific scores using the Student t test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test for dichotomous variables and linear regression analysis for continuous variables.Results.The study included 104 patients with SSc who completed the COMPASS-31 questionnaire. The mean COMPASS-31 score in this cohort was 24.9 ± 15.5, higher than COMPASS-31 scores from previously published healthy controls (8.9 ± 8.7). Compared to patients with mild or absent GI disease, patients with significant GI disease had higher scores across several subdomains of the COMPASS-31, including orthostatic intolerance (median 10.0 vs 0, p = 0.006) and secretomotor dysfunction (median 6.4 vs 4.3, p = 0.03). There was also a dose-response relationship between GI disease severity and autonomic symptom burden.Conclusion.Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction are common in SSc. Patients with more severe GI disease in SSc report more symptoms of dysautonomia across many facets of the autonomic nervous system.

Le site du Nouzeau à Gurgy (Yonne) est un habitat du Moyen Âge central, caractérisé par des structures fossoyées (cabanes excavées, fosses, silos) qui paraît assez isolé – mais la limite sud de son extension n’a pu être fouillée. Son statut a pu être appréhendé grâce à la découverte d’un outillage métallique abondant, varié et caractéristique. Un assemblage de restes fauniques témoigne des pratiques agro-pastorales spécifiques qui pourraient révéler un site d’élevage d’ovins, bien que des volailles, des porcs, des bovins et des équidés soient aussi présents. Des couteaux, une pointe de flèche et surtout des éléments de serrures, une coupelle et une clé de porte sont autant de témoins matériels singuliers dans un tel contexte. Le mobilier céramique, abondant, permet de dater le site et d’entrevoir ses réseaux d’approvisionnement en poterie de terre. Cette exploitation pourrait être liée à une dépendance monastique de l’abbaye Saint-Germain d’Auxerre.
Considering the alternative: Bakhtin’s carnivalesque and convergence of worlds of animals and humans in Yann Martel’s Life of Pi
Authors: Marais Susan 
Published: June 2018

Yann Martel’s Life of Pi recontextualises the traditional castaway narrative’s rationalist and reductivist worldview by incorporating carnivalised writing, or the carnivalesque, to examine alternative or ‘non-human’ ways of encountering the world. It is this subversive and liberating approach towards dominant cultural forms and beliefs that is manifested in Life of Pi through grotesque realism. Grotesque realism, as defined in Mikhail Bakhtin’s Rabelais and his world, is relevant to Martel’s novel, as this convention purports that animals embody the raw physicality of existence through their instinctual and amoral nature. In the context of the novel, carnivalesque writing contributes to the blurring of boundaries between human and animal in a way that also reveals the transformative abilities of storytelling. The dissolution of boundaries that separate humans from animals and the rational from the irrational emphasises the redeeming potential in alternative – or imaginative – ways of interpreting existence and, ultimately, casts light on uncanny spaces of existence such as loss, suffering and deprivation.
Anterior Spinal Artery Syndrome from Type a Aortic Dissection in a Patient with Marfan Syndrome Due to a Novel Fibrillin Mutation
Authors: Cheng K , Perenyei M , Sayeed R 
Published: June 2018

Type A aortic dissection is a rare but important cardiac surgical emergency. Few reports exist in the literature describing anterior spinal artery syndrome as a presenting feature. We report a case of anterior spinal artery syndrome due to aortic dissection in a patient with Marfan syndrome caused by a novel fibrillin mutation. A 53-year old female presented with chest pain and sudden-onset paralysis. Neurological examination revealed normal upper limb examination, reduced lower limb power and reflexes but normal sensation. CT scanning revealed type A acute aortic dissection which was treated with emergent cardiac surgical repair. At clinic follow up 3 years later, signs of Marfan syndrome were opportunistically noted and genetic testing revealed a novel mutation in the Fibrillin 1 gene. This case emphasises the importance of a good initial clinical assessment, including thorough neurological examination, as well as a low threshold of clinical suspicion for an aortic dissection in such a constellation of symptoms. The importance of family history should also be emphasised given the coincidental diagnosis of Marfan syndrome in a first-degree relative. Furthermore, this case illustrates the classical signs of anterior spinal artery syndrome.

Analysis of Relationships between Coaches' Organizational Justice and Leader-Member Exchange by Structural Equation Modeling
Authors: Akyel Yakup 
Published: June 2018

In this study, it was aimed to determine to what extent coaches’ organizational justice levels were explained by a leader-member exchange. This study was conducted by using correlational survey model and its sub-purposes were to determine the coaches’ organizational justice levels and to examine the differences in organizational justice levels according to their demographics. 230 coaches participated in the study. As a result of the study, it was determined that the organizational justice level of the coaches is generally moderate. It was found that coaches’ organizational justice levels did not differ significantly among their genders, age, and marital status; on the other hand, those levels differed significantly among their seniority and ranks. As a result of the structural equation modeling, it was found that the coaches’ leader-member exchange level was a positive and significant predictor (R2 = 0.53) of their organizational justice level.
