The World Bank & financing tuberculosis control, 1986-2017
Authors: Rahi Manveer , Fernandes Genevie , Winters Janelle , Sridhar Devi 
Published: August 2018

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is among the leading contributors to global mortality and morbidity from infectious diseases and has had a major socioeconomic cost in recent history. The World Bank is a leading institution for global health governance and financing, but little research has concentrated on the role of the World Bank in global tuberculosis control. Methods: We tracked the development of the World Bank’s policies and associated financial flows for tuberculosis control. First, we performed a scoping review of both published and grey literature. Second, we used the Bank’s Projects & Operations database to construct a dataset of all World Bank projects with funding allocated to the “Tuberculosis” theme from 1986 to 2017. Finally, we analysed the World Bank’s funding patterns alongside wider funding for tuberculosis using the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation’s Development Assistance for Health database. Results: We identified four periods in the World Bank’s involvement in global tuberculosis control, from the recognition of tuberculosis as a global health issue to the creation of a global coalition against tuberculosis. Between 1986 and 2017 the World Bank undertook 79 projects with financing from its core lending divisions with a tuberculosis control theme or focus. Within the 79 projects the Bank committed 19.6% of funding, or $0.9bn, towards tuberculosis control. The World Bank has been involved in increasingly vertical programming with a growing proportion of project funding invested into tuberculosis control over time. However, after the formation of private-public partnerships against tuberculosis in 2002 such as the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria, the Bank’s core financing decreased and private-public partnerships provided increasing levels of substitutive financing for tuberculosis control. Conclusions: The World Bank has been pivotal in leading global financing, garnering advocacy and creating widespread coalition in the battle against tuberculosis control in recent decades.
Dynamics of an ecological system
Authors: Kant Shashi 
Published: August 2018

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the deterministic and stochastic prey-predator system with refuge. The basic local stability results for the deterministic model have been performed. It is found that all the equilibrium points except the positive coexisting equilibrium point of the deterministic model are independent of the prey refuge. The trivial equilibrium point, predator free equilibrium point and prey free equilibrium point are always unstable (saddle point). The existence and local stability of the coexisting equilibrium point is related to the prey refuge.
The permanence and extinction conditions of the proposed biological model have been studied rigourously. It is observed that the stochastic effect may be seen in the form of decaying of the species. The numerical simulations for different values of the refuge values have also been included for understanding the behavior of the model graphically.
Hilbert space valued Gabor frames in weighted amalgam spaces
Authors: Poria Anirudha , Swain Jitendriya 
Published: August 2018

AbstractLet{\mathbb{H}}be a separable Hilbert space. In this paper, we establish a generalization of Walnut’s representation and Janssen’s representation of the{\mathbb{H}}-valued Gabor frame operator on{\mathbb{H}}-valued weighted amalgam spaces{W_{\mathbb{H}}(L^{p},L^{q}_{v})},{1\leq p,q\leq\infty}. Also, we show that the frame operator is invertible on{W_{\mathbb{H}}(L^{p},L^{q}_{v})},{1\leq p,q\leq\infty}, if the window function is in the Wiener amalgam space{W_{\mathbb{H}}(L^{\infty},L^{1}_{w})}. Further, we obtain the Walnut representation and invertibility of the frame operator corresponding to Gabor superframes and multi-window Gabor frames on{W_{\mathbb{H}}(L^{p},L^{q}_{v})},{1\leq p,q\leq\infty}, as a special case by choosing the appropriate Hilbert space{\mathbb{H}}.
Effects of a 6-month balance intervention on postural control of preschoolers born with biological risk factors

Published: August 2018

AbstractStudy aim: To investigate the effects of 6-month sensorimotor training on postural control of 5-6-year-old preschool children born with ‘biological risk factors’ (BRF). Material and methods: Sixty-four Hungarian preschoolers participated in this study, and were assigned to an experimental group (n = 17), control group 1 (n = 23) and control group 2 (n = 24). The experimental group (born with BRF) attended a 6-month balance intervention based on Ayres’ therapy, while control group 1 (born with BRF) and control group 2 (born with no BRF) fol­lowed the regular preschool schedule. Birth weight, gestational age at birth, Apgar score and other abnormalities during pregnancy and birth were considered to be BRF. A moveable platform (stabilometer) was used to examine the distance of center of pressure movements of all participants prior to the start and after the end of the intervention. The testing procedure was performed with four enjoyable tests in the same sequence (‘Mouse in the hole’, ‘Center’, ‘Christmas tree’, ‘Square painting’). Results: The balance intervention program resulted in significant improvements in postural control of the experimental group. In three of six variables the balance index scores of the intervention group approached the scores of their peers born without BRF, and they even had better performance in three of six variables. Conclusions: Balance training with instability training devices could help children born with BRF attain a higher level of inte­gration through the stimulation of tactile and balancing senses.
Modeling and robust control algorithms for a linear belt driven system
Authors: Minh Vu Trieu , Tamre Mart , Sekhri Even 
Published: August 2018

AbstractThis paper proposes the mathematical modeling and robust control algorithms for linear belt system with the help of sliding mode control approach. Due to the elasticity of the belt, the presence of frictions, and the un-modeled dynamics, conventional controllers cannot provide precise position control of carriage. Dealing with this kind of system, a robust controller is needed and the chattering-free sliding mode control (SMC) approach is used to design the robust controller. A belt stretching estimator is also incorporated into the control law. Simulations show that the system is free from chattering and robust to disturbances. The reference tracking position is performed with the minimal errors to an extent that can be considered negligible. The time for reaching the reference tracking position is very fast. The system is safe for all mechanical and electrical devices.
L’articolazione argomentativa di Plat.Soph. 237b7–239a11 e la natura delmedamos on
Authors: Aronadio Francesco 
Published: August 2018

AbstractInSoph. 237b7–239a11 Plato lays out a sequence of arguments that are generally considered homogenous. An analysis of each argument can shed light on the need to differentiate their respective nature. Firstly, it will be shown that the arguments do not work only at the linguistic level, contrary to the way these passages are interpreted by most of commentators. The meta–linguistic nature of the third argument will be particularly emphasised. Secondly, it will be argued that the three arguments follow each other according to acrescendo. The implications of this argumentative structure will be specifically appreciated. Both these results of the analysis induce to attribute a crucial importance to the notion ofmedamos on: the arguments do not aim to definitively exclude the possibility of a Parmenidean non–being; they play a positive role within the inquiry of the Stranger of Elea, inasmuch the thematisation of Parmenidean non–being is seriously taken into account and embraced at this stage of the dialogue. In fact it is only through this dialectical step that the Stranger gains the chance to proceed in the direction of a relational ontology and a new concept of non–being. The positive role played by themedamos onpresupposes that this expression and the equivalent ones are not mere absurdities and can find place in the Platonic use of language; this implies that the notion ofmedamos onmust have a justification in the framework of Platonic relational ontology and conception of language. The consideration of this aspect eventually gives the opportunity to return to the three arguments and present an explanation of their positioning in that stage of the dialogue.

Towards a Democratic State in Palestine/Israel
Authors: Halper Jeff 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
International law provides guidelines for the acceptable behavior of states and, ideally, sanctions. It does not prescribe, however, political solutions to conflicts or set out blueprints for reconstituting an unjust political situation in forms that conform to it. While taking international law as a fundamental element defining the parameters of political settlements, this paper asks: what political program best translates its norms and values into concrete form? It explores the two-state solution, apartheid and the prospect of a single democratic state, the last conforming to international law and supported by the One Democratic State Campaign (ODSC).
Belligerent Occupation and ITS Discontents: On the Relationship between International Human Rights Law and Belligerent Occupation’s Law
Authors: Silingardi Stefano 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Too many normative instances, that were originally external to the belligerent occupation’s regulatory framework have settled, over the last decades, into that body of law. I refer, for instance, to the Occupying Powers’ demand to intervene significantly in the economic, political and social life of the occupied territory in the light of the need to conduct populations subject to undemocratic regimes, or in very backward economic conditions, on the road to democracy and economic development; or to the expectations that the Occupying Powers fully implement some core human rights obligations incumbent upon them. However, because of the lack of useful information in the current legal framework of international humanitarian law about the scopes that should legitimately lead the activities of the Occupying Powers, these claims threatens to deprive of legal effect the statement that occupation would not implement any transfer of sovereignty to the occupant (the so called ‘sovereign-based’ approach laid down by Articles 42 and 43 of the Hague IV Regulations). After a brief explanation of the doctrinal foundations of belligerent occupation’s law in the broader picture of the more recent practice of Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories (with specific reference to the 2017 Law for the Regulation of Settlement in Judea and Samaria), the Article will focus on the analysis of the relationship between international human rights law (IHRL) and belligerent occupation’s law – in particular by stressing the risks that could arise when an Occupying Power decides to act in order to implement the right to self-determination of the occupied population. The aim is to investigate not only, form a de lege lata perspective, how the more recent practice of Occupying Powers has been influenced by IHRL but also, from a de lege ferenda perspective, to which extent (if any) human rights norms would contribute to fill the gaps and loopholes of the existing regulatory framework on belligerent occupation.
History and Politics and the Politics of History: Poland and Its
Museums of Contemporary History
Authors: Etges Andreas , Zündorf Irmgard , Machcewicz Paweł 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The Polish museum landscape has turned into a battleground between politicians
and historians. Much of that has focused on the highly praised Museum of the
Second World War in Gdańsk which opened in March 2017. Its founding
director Pawel Machcewicz was dismissed when the conservative-nationalist party
“Law and Justice” came to power. The article and the interview
with Machcewicz discuss that story, the founding and exhibition design of other
Polish history museums as well as the politics of history in Poland and
beyond.
Die Glaubwürdigkeit der Wikipedia
Authors: Hesse Wolfgang 
Published: August 2018

ZusammenfassungDie Wikipedia ist sowohl hinsichtlich ihres Umfangs als auch hinsichtlich ihrer Nutzung die heute bedeutendste Enzyklopädie. Auch innerhalb der Wissenschaft spielt sie, vor allem als leicht zugänglicher Rechercheeinstieg, eine wichtige Rolle. In diesem Zusammenhang steht die Glaubwürdigkeit der Wikipedia immer wieder im Fokus, da ihre Inhalte nicht durch Fachexperten kontrolliert, sondern von jedermann ediert werden können. Jedoch ist innerhalb der Wikipediacommunity ein starkes Bemühen um Glaubwürdigkeit festzustellen. Anhand der Analyse ausgewählter Redaktionsprinzipien der Wikipedia und der Auswertung einer Fallstudie zur Erzeugung von Glaubwürdigkeit in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia lassen sich Implikationen für Information Professionals ableiten. Besonders Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare können durch ihren Zugang zu Literatur einerseits und mit ihren Recherchekenntnissen andererseits dabei helfen, die Glaubwürdigkeit der Wikipedia zu steigern.

Climbing Sports Effect Specific Visual-Spatial Abilities
Authors: Pietsch Stefanie , Jansen Petra 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Physically active people show better visual-spatial abilities than physically inactive people. Especially athletes with response times based on competition times, such as wrestling, outperform other athletes. This quasi-experimental study examines the relationship of long-term activity in sport climbing, which is a typical non-response time-based leisure activity, and mental rotation and spatial visualization performance. Climbers outperformed other athletes in mental rotation, but not in spatial visualization tasks. That could be based on their experience with mainly holistic movement patterns.
History

Published: August 2018

Abstract
The exposition named History will present the development of the Czech lands from the 9th century till the present. The exposition will be divided into two separate spaces – the Historical Building of the National Museum will house the history of the 9th–19th centuries and the New Building of the National Museum will house the history from the 20th century. Despite reflecting to a certain extent the traditional division of the Middle Ages, Early Modern Period, the “long” 19th century, and the 20th century, the narrative will be continuous without any artificial historical disruptions. We will debunk some historical myths and stereotypes. Emphasis will be laid on the presentation of items from the collections of the National Museum. A certain update will also be important, i.e. the presentation of ideas and symbols, that we refer to today. Parallel narratives will be nonetheless important, as they will show that history is not unambiguous and that certain events can be viewed from several different perspectives (e.g. the winner and the loser, nobleman and subject). Last but not least, we will address the issues of individual freedom and its limits.
Theory as a Platform for the Education of Museum Staff. Development of the Centre for the Study of Museology in the Years 1967–1982
Authors: Kirsch Otakar , Jagošová Lucie 
Published: August 2018

AbstractThe aim of the presented study is to bring together almost fifteen years of the Centre for the Study of Museology of the Charles University’s Faculty of the Arts at the National Museum in Prague (herein - after referred to as the Centre), one of the most important contemporary methodological and educational centres in the field of museology. The subject of interest will gradually become an analysis of the factors and phenomena that led to its establishment in 1967, including the theoretical concept of the head of the Centre, Jiří Neustupný, which became the starting point for the final form of its curriculum. In addition to outlining the structure for the curriculum for the students of Charles University’s daily study and for the museum staff and introducing personalities who have participated in educational activities, the text also deals with its non-teaching activities (such as research and methodological activities, cooperation within both the domestic and the international museum organisations, while collecting and publishing museological literature). The work was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the museological centre which is recognised by international authorities and, as the first one, this work seeks to map its development.
The Working Class Movement Museum Collection – Extensive Array of Objects, Archives and Books
Authors: Tothová Jolana 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The Collection of the Working Class Movement Museum results from a fusion of three Prague museums – the Klement Gottwald Museum, the V. I. Lenin Museum and the Julius Fučík Museum, which were taken over and completed by the Working Class Movement Museum in 1990. For the reason of securing the completeness of the Collection, the Working Class Movement Museum donated it to the National Museum in 2014. The Collection of hundreds of thousands of items consists of collectibles (e.g. works of visual art, posters, military objects, flags and standards, honours and documents of social events and also photographic and film materials), archive records (some personal possessions of Klement Gottwald, Antonín Zápotocký, Julius and Gusta Fučík, a collection of the written materials and of the small prints and archives of the original museums) and library items (publications from the 19th and 20th centuries focused on the history of the social movements and the processes). This paper presents both the origins and the content of the Collection and summarises the process of its change of location and deposition and also the creation of the new concept regarding the treatment of the museum funds.
Paperless Archaeology on Castrum Novum
Authors: Paclíková Klára , Preusz Michal 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Modern technology affects the development of the humanities, including the most traditional of the disciplines such as classical archaeology. We are looking for an answer to the question of whether high-tech could completely replace the basic tools without which we would not even imagine archaeology. Could pencil and paper completely disappear from the trench? We tested the principles regarding paperless archaeology on the exemplary research of the deserted Castrum Novum Roman Colony located in central Italy. The colony was founded in the 3rd century BC and disappeared in the 5th century AD. The discovery of the city occurred in the 18th century when the Pope decided to support the first excavations. Especially unique findings of sculptures became a feature of the Vatican Museums. After that the city was again forgotten. Only in the second half of the 20th century, have we managed to re-locate Castrum Novum. This resulted in the need for modern systematic archaeological research. Currently an extraordinary collaboration is bringing interesting discoveries and new perspectives for the Italian, the French and the Czech archaeologists.

Abstract
The cinnamon flowers exhibit protogynous dichogamy with 2 flower types “Type A” and “Type B” which first flowers during morning and evening respectively. This floral cycle causes a temporal barrier to the maintenance of elite breeding material and for hybridization with desired parents. Determination of variation in flower and inflorescence morphology can shed light on functional diversity in “Type A” and “Type B” flowers. In order to study these variations, a survey of cultivated cinnamon lands and wild habitats was conducted in fifteen locations in the Matara district. Peduncle length (PDL), flower length (FL), flower width (FW), and floral tube length (FTL) varied among cinnamon accessions collected. The variation in tepal shape was distinct: the two whorls of tepals of a single flower exhibited two shapes. The current investigation of differences in inflorescence, floral morphology and floral abnormalities of Cinnamomum verum provides information about their diversity, and recommends molecular analysis to further determine the genetic basis of two flower types in progynous dichogamy.
