Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma: crossroads of genetic and microenvironment interactions
Authors: Puente Xose S. , Jares Pedro , Campo Elias 
Published: April 2018

AbstractChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are 2 well-defined entities that diverge in their basic pathogenic mechanisms and clinical evolution but they share epidemiological characteristics, cells of origin, molecular alterations, and clinical features that differ from other lymphoid neoplasms. CLL and MCL are classically considered indolent and aggressive neoplasms, respectively. However, the clinical evolution of both tumors is very heterogeneous, with subsets of patients having stable disease for a long time whereas others require immediate intervention. Both CLL and MCL include 2 major molecular subtypes that seem to derive from antigen-experienced CD5+ B cells that retain a naive or memory-like epigenetic signature and carry a variable load of immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region somatic mutations from truly unmutated to highly mutated, respectively. These 2 subtypes of tumors differ in their molecular pathways, genomic alterations, and clinical behavior, being more aggressive in naive-like than memory-like–derived tumors in both CLL and MCL. The pathogenesis of the 2 entities integrates the relevant influence of B-cell receptor signaling, tumor cell microenvironment interactions, genomic alterations, and epigenome modifications that configure the evolution of the tumors and offer new possibilities for therapeutic intervention. This review will focus on the similarities and differences of these 2 tumors based on recent studies that are enhancing the understanding of their pathogenesis and creating solid bases for new management strategies.
Genetics of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Authors: Pasqualucci Laura , Dalla-Favera Riccardo 
Published: April 2018

AbstractDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most frequent subtype of lymphoid malignancy, remains a significant clinical challenge, as ∼30% of patients are not cured. Over the past decade, remarkable progress has been made in the understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease, spurred by the implementation of powerful genomic technologies that enabled the definition of its genetic and epigenetic landscape. These studies have uncovered a multitude of genomic alterations that contribute to the initiation and maintenance of the tumor clone by disrupting biological functions known to be critical for the normal biology of its cells of origin, germinal center B cells. The identified alterations involve epigenetic remodeling, block of differentiation, escape from immune surveillance, and the constitutive activation of several signal transduction pathways. This wealth of new information offers unique opportunities for the development of improved diagnostic and prognostic tools that could help guide the clinical management of DLBCL patients. Furthermore, a number of the mutated genes identified are potentially actionable targets that are currently being explored for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This review summarizes current knowledge of the most common genetic alterations associated with DLBCL in relation to their functional impact on the malignant transformation process, and discusses their clinical implications for mechanism-based therapeutics.
Kompetencja komunikacyjna a glottodydaktyka

Published: April 2018

Communication competence and glottodidactics
The concept of the communication competence originating from the linguistic science is now commonly used in the glottodidactics discourse. Numerous didactic models of the concept have been elaborated to suggest contents, methods and foreign language teaching techniques for several years. Today, a document that sets language teaching standards is the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (2001), elaborated by the European Council, which offers a description of the activity-based communication competence. The activity-based teaching implies not only linguistic communication competences but also transversal competences of the language user. The purpose of the paper is to present the evolution of the key concept in the foreign language teaching didactics and the presentation of its interpretation in contemporary glottodidactics.

Assessing lexical resources of Polish language learners using lexical frequency profile
Polish is learnt by two types of learners; namely, heritage language learners (HLLs) and foreign language learners (FLLs). HLLs are of Polish origin and have gained their partial knowledge of language in a natural environment unlike FLLs who learn Polish in a formal institutional setting and have no Polish roots whatsoever. Lexical resources of HLLs and FLLs and their access to mental lexicon language data, even when their overall level of language proficiency is similar, seem to differ. HLLs speak more fluently, particularly when talking about everyday matters, and their production sounds more native like, being more formulaic. FLLs on the other hand, when speaking, “look for words” with more difficulty and sentences they build often sound odd. The aim of the project is to find out whether the lexical resources of HLLs are really, qualitatively and quantitatively, different to that of FLLs and if so, to what extent. In order to estimate the vocabulary size of the two groups samples of HLLs’ and FLLs’ writing at B2 level were analyzed with the use of various indices such as lexical variation, density, sophistication and Lexical Frequency Profile.
Ekspresywizacja nazw własnych we współczesnych mediach polskich

Expressivization of proper names in current Polish media
The paper analyses expressive modifications of proper names in the current media. Based on a survey of the existing literature, it explains terms connected to the process of linguistic expressivization, and based on examples excerpted from the media between 2001 and 2015, it makes an attempt at classifying the various linguistic formal-semantic efforts. The analysis has shown that formal-semantic modification aimed at expressivization of proper names can be implemented using different word- -formational, grammatical, syntactic, and graphical operations.

Adverbial numerals in Rozmyślanie przemyskie – a quantification of events
The paper describes adverbial numeral expressions used to quantify events, to indicate their specific number, that can be found in the largest text of Polish Middle Ages, i.e. in Rozmyślanie przemyskie. Based on the traditional division of numerals, the article identifies multiplicative, ordinal, and manifold numerals, and indicates their function in specific contexts. The analyzed text, even though it is a 16th century copy, preserves such shapes of multiplicative numerals as jedną/jednąc or dwojc/dwojcy which were archaic already from the perspective of the Middle Polish period. Likewise, the text conserves adverbial ordinal numerals. The material also proves that, before the popularization of adverbial forms of the dwukrotnie-type, and of compound constructions with the element raz, the stock of numerals used as adverbs was limited primarily to derivatives from numerals of the lower order, related to values between one and four.
Inskrypcja na grocie rozwadowskiej włóczni (KJ35): ik eruls czy ik erlas?
Authors: Garbacz Piotr

The Rozwadów spearhead inscription (KJ 35): ik eruls or ik erlas?
The paper discusses two possible interpretations of the (East Germanic?) runic inscription found in Rozwadów, Poland (KJ35), which reads ]krlus. Two alternatives are proposed: (1) [i]k (e)r(u)ls, and (2) [i]k (e)rlas, both with the meaning ‘I belong to the Heruli’. The first alternative assumes that the rune kaunan is a remainder of the first person personal pronoun ik ‘I’ known from Gothic, whereas the preceding rune isaz has been destroyed as the spearhead is broken just before kaunan. Then, the expected rune ehwaz is absent; we can either guess it was destroyed, or never written at all. The last assumption here is a metathesis of uruz and laguz from the intended *eruls to the attested (e)rlus, and the syncope in a-stems. The second alternative is similar but it argues that the last but one rune should be read ansuz, not uruz, and moreover, it assumes neither the metathesis of uruz and laguz, nor the syncope in a-stems. If the inscription ]krlus is to be read [i]k (e)r(u)ls, it would contain the only known Germanic attestation of a continuant of the Proto-Germanic *erulaz, later to yield the Old Norse form *jǫrull. If, on the other hand, it is to be interpreted as [i]k (e)rlas, it would be the only attestation of a continuant of the Proto-Germanic form *erlaz predating Old Norse jarl. Both hypotheses show that the inscription is of great importance for the studies on the (phonetic) development of the word known from Proto-Nordic as erilar.
O etymologicznym słowniku języków romańskich (Dictionnaire Étymologique Roman, DÉRom)

Published: April 2018

On the etymological dictionary of Romance languages (Dictionnaire Étymologique Roman, DÉRom)
The paper presents to Polish linguists of various specializations the Romance etymological dictionary Dictionnaire Étymologique Roman (DÉRom) which, despite having existed for several years, remains entirely unknown in Poland. Its goal is to reconstruct the Romance protolanguage, protoroman, on as many levels as possible. Its novelty lies in the application of the historical-comparative method to modern Romance forms, and reconstructing Proto-Romance forms based on them. Departure from the traditional Latin-leaning etymology brings qualitatively new results to the field of Romance diachronic linguistics. The paper concludes with examples of two dictionary entries.

In parallel to the context that Luiz Pacheco does of “Depoimento de uma Angolana” in “O Libertino Passeia por Braga, a Idolátrica o seu Esplendor”, firstly edited in 1970, by his seal, Contraponto”, we will go through the paragraphs that Maria Alice Veiga Pereira, the author of the text in appreciation, dedicated to the ill‑treatments of the slaves workers, to the “conventional lies imposed by an hateful social regime”, to the racism e all of its retinue of irrational attitudes, to the economical nonsense of the cotton plantation, amongst other experiences that this primary‑school teacher has lived for the 30 years that she co‑habited in that regime. Faces of a polyhedral Violence that will hardly be atoned; a stain not only in the history of Angola, but also in the human history.

THE “BANDOLEIRISMO” IN THE OLD CAPTAINCIES OF MINAS GERAIS AND OF PERNAMBUCO (PORTUGUESE AMERICA, 18TH CENTURY)
The objective of this work is to present the main results of our research on the universe of “bandoleirismo” in ancient Portuguese America, mainly in the captaincies of Minas Gerais and Pernambuco in the 18th century. In the end, we will defend the premise that the agglomeration of these bandits in their respective localities was due, among other factors, to the impacts of the famous “Law of Good Reason” (attempt to break with the centralist ideals of the Crown).

Mudança: a dimensão política da obra de Vergílio Ferreira como estratégia contra o trauma
Authors: Rato Rodrigues Ricardo 
Published: April 2018

MUDANÇA: THE POLITICAL DIMENSION IN VERGÍLIO FERREIRA’S WORKS AS A STRATEGY AGAINST TRAUMA
This article aims to explore the importance and significance of the political dimension of the work of Vergílio Ferreira, in particular, his novel Mudança (1991) and his short‑story O Jogo de Deus. The political dimension of the author’s work is a complex theme, not only because of its complex articulation of a political position that rejects teleological ideologies, but also because of the attitude of the main aesthetical discourse of the time, Neo‑Realism, which seemed to reject and ignore Ferreira’s work. However, its importance cannot be overlooked, especially taking into consideration its existentialist vision of liberty and how it can be configured as an answer for the trauma of Salazar’s dictatorship, both on an individual and collective level.
Can banks be owned?
Authors: Butzbach Olivier , Rotondo Gennaro , Desiato Talita 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
A now well-established literature in economics assesses the effect of different forms of bank ownership on various measures of banks’ performance. Such literature has its theoretical roots in a surprisingly narrow framework, broadly identified with property rights theory. However, such theory – or bundle of theories – has been increasingly criticized for its inability to account for the emergence, the existence and the functioning of business firms. Indeed, many works and authors counter mainstream property rights theory, arguing instead that firms are entities that cannot be possessed – and that equity ownership should not be equaled with firm ownership.
Nowhere is perhaps this critique more salient than in the field of banking. As the 2007/08 crisis reminded many observers, banks are not just firms or corporations: they are institutions, endowed with a dual social purpose (the creation of money and the setting of rules for access to credit). If the ownership of firms is difficult to conceive, the ownership of institutions such as banks is obviously harder still to envision. However, over the past twenty to thirty years, regulatory reform in finance has led to the empowerment of ownership, and especially private ownership, in the field of banking. This is apparent, for instance, with the 2007/44 European Directive, which fully liberalized equity ownership (and control) of banks.
Yet, even within the actual legal and regulatory framework, there are many limitations to property rights as applied to banks. This paper thus has two aims: firstly, to develop a theoretical explanation of the heuristic and empirical limitations of “bank ownership”; and, secondly, to analyze, on the basis of an empirical case study of Italian banking law, the nature and extent of the property rights associated with ownership in banks.
The core of a strategic game
Authors: Chander Parkash 
Published: April 2018

AbstractIn this paper, I introduce and study the $\gamma$-core of a general strategic game. I first show that the $\gamma$-core of an arbitrary strategic game is smaller than the conventional $\alpha$- and $\beta$- cores. I then consider the partition function form of a general strategic game and show that a prominent class of partition function games admit nonempty $\gamma$-cores. Finally, I show that each $\gamma$-core payoff vector (a cooperative solution) can be supported as an equilibrium outcome of an intuitive non-cooperative game and the grand coalition is the unique equilibrium outcome if and only if the $\gamma$-core is non-empty.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
An investigation was done to develop and characterize the alumina supported cobalt catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis to produce biodiesel from biomass with the aim to produce alumina-supported cobalt catalysts containing 7 to 19 wt.% cobalt content. By using incipient wetness impregnation of γ-Al2O3 supports with cobalt nitrate hexahydrate with ethanol and distilled water solutions; the 14 wt.% cobalt content in catalyst was achieved. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), H2temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) and carbon monoxide chemisorption were used for the characterization of the catalysts to attain an appropriate cobalt catalyst. In order to investigate the effect of the impregnation on the crystalline size, surface area and cobalt content, three different impregnation methods with various durations were investigated. In addition, increasing the impregnation duration increased the cobalt content and its dispersion. Based on results, positive effect of the alumina support and impregnation duration on the crystallite size, surface area, and pore diameter, reducibility of the catalyst and cobalt dispersion were investigated. Thus, cobalt catalyst for using in fixed bed reactor to produce biodiesel from biomass through Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis was prepared and characterized.
National Identities, Personal Crises: Amnesia in Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant
Authors: Charlwood Catherine 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
This article considers how Ishiguro’s 2015 novel about mass forgetting in post-Arthurian Britain adds to debates about what it means to be a human living within a society. There are four areas of enquiry linked by their emphasis on the interdependence of remembering and forgetting: ideas of memory in nationhood; the depiction of the British landscape; the cognitive process of recognition; and the emotional aspects of remembering. Interdisciplinary in scope, this article uses evidence from psychological studies of memory alongside detailed close readings of the text, allowing a more precise analysis of the role of the narrator and the effect of Ishiguro’s text on the reader. By keeping his previous corpus in view throughout, it evaluates Ishiguro’s continued use of memory and nationality as themes, while demonstrating the new departures offered by the conjunction of an ancient setting and a contemporary reading audience. One of the first sustained critical efforts on The Buried Giant, this article puts the novel firmly on the agenda of literary, cultural and memory studies respectively.

Asynchronous Method for Frequency Regulation by Dispersed Plug-in Electric Vehicles
Authors: Kuang Yonghong , Li Canbing , Zhou Bin , Cao Yijia , Yang Hanyu , Zeng Long 
Published: April 2018

Abstract:Plug-in electrical vehicles (PEVs) can participate in frequency regulation (FR) in electric power systems under the framework of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. With a growing number of electrical vehicles (EVs), a greater number of distributed electrical vehicle (EV) chargers may change charge or discharge power simultaneously to participate in FR, resulting in over response. In this paper, considering the over-response and equality issues, an asynchronous method for dispersed PEVs participation in FR is proposed. PEVs participate in FR with the same set of parameters. Over-response can be avoided during the process of FR. Equality enables the dispersed PEVs to participate in FR with the same probability. The presented method empowers PEVs to actively participate in FR without a control centre or a communication network. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the presented method in different operational scenarios.
Real-Time Control of a Rotary Inverted Pendulum using Robust LQR-based ANFIS Controller
Authors: Chawla Ishan , Singla Ashish 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
From the last five decades, inverted pendulum (IP) has been considered as a benchmark problem in the control literature due to its inherit nature of instability, non-linearity and underactuation. Its applicability in wide range of practical systems, demands the need of a robust controller. It is found in the literature that wide range of controllers had been tested on this problem, out of which the most robust being sliding mode controller while the most optimal being linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller. The former has a problem of discontinuity and chattering, while the latter lacks the property of robustness. To address the robustness issue in LQR controller, this paper proposes a novel robust LQR-based adaptive neural based fuzzy inference system controller, which is a hybrid of LQR and fuzzy inference system. The proposed controller is designed and implemented on rotary inverted pendulum. Further, to validate the robustness of proposed controller to parametric uncertainties, pendulum mass is varied. Simulation and experimental results show that as compared to LQR controller, the proposed controller is robust to variations in pendulum mass and has shown satisfactory performance.
Implying an impolite belief: A case of tikkeh in Persian
Authors: Tayebi Tahmineh 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThe focus of this study is on a particular type of implied impoliteness in Persian commonly known astikkeh. Given the lack of critical attention paid to the notion of implied impoliteness in the literature, the present study seeks to explore this issue further by addressing the following questions: (i) What is implied impoliteness? (ii) What are the properties which make it different from other types of conventionalized impoliteness? (iii) For whom is it offensive? And finally (iv) how does one evaluate an implied meaning as offensive? It will be argued that, in the right context, any utterance can potentially be evaluated as atikkehwhich can convey a negative impolite belief about the ratified and/or unratified hearer(s). In this respect, examples from both dyadic and polylogal interactions are provided. Along the way, the influence of relational histories as well as interpersonal expectations are also discussed.
