Authors: Cunha Andre Henrique , Marcineiro Nazareno , Ferenhof Helio Aisenberg , Forcellini Fernando Antônio 
Published: June 2018

After the legacy of September 11, 2001, and subsequent terrorist attacks during sports events, such as the London (2005) bombings, is evidenced in the increased security measures put in place at major sports events. Heightened attention to safety management and public concern about possible threats and perception of risk has now become a fundamental component of the planning and risk management strategies for sports events. To deal with this issue, this study aims to systemize and develop the strategic planning process for security operations of the gaming facilities and to the public in general within the games perimeter, during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We took basis on MCDA-C (Multi-Criteria Methodology Decision Support - Constructivist), to develop a system capable of promoting the institutional integration of Brazilian security forces to ensure the public and playing field's safety, as well as the games perimeter and public and private property used for the 2016 Olympic Games. The system starts with a business environment analysis, and service requirements analyzes, and, with the MCDA-C’s assistance, a relevance matrix was constructed, and, from it, resources and operations plans were set. Finally, the Olympics Games Rio 2016 strategic security operations plan results were discussed.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
We developed techniques for searching young unresolved star groupings (clusters, associations, and their complexes) and of estimating their physical parameters. Our study is based on spectroscopic, spectrophotometric, and UBVRI photometric observations of 19 spiral galaxies. In the studied galaxies, we found 1510 objects younger than 10 Myr and present their catalogue. Having combined photometric and spectroscopic data, we derived extinctions, chemical abundances, sizes, ages, and masses of these groupings. We discuss separately the specific cases, when the gas extinction does not agree with the interstellar one. We assume that this is due to spatial offset of Hii clouds with respect to the related stellar population.We developed a method to estimate age of stellar population of the studied complexes using their morphology and the relation with associated H emission region. In result we obtained the estimates of chemical abundances for 80, masses for 63, and ages for 57 young objects observed in seven galaxies.
Spectroscopy of hot subdwarf binaries
Authors: Kreuzer Simon , Irrgang Andreas , Heber Ulrich 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
We present a status report of our spectroscopic analysis of subdwarf binaries consisting of a subdwarf and a F/G/K-type main-sequence companion. These systems selected from SDSS photometry show significant excess in the (infra-)red which can not be explained by interstellar reddening. Inspection of SDSS spectra revealed that most of them are composite spectrum sdB binaries. Once their spectra are disentangled, a detailed spectral analysis can be carried out. It reveals Teff, log g and the metal abundance of each individual star. The cool companion is of particular interest, because its spectrum reveals the original chemical composition of the binary.
Exact geometry SaS solid-shell element for 3D stress analysis of FGM piezoelectric structures
Authors: Kulikov G. M. , Plotnikova S. V. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
A hybrid-mixed functionally graded material (FGM) piezoelectric four-node solid-shell element through the sampling surfaces (SaS) method is proposed. The SaS formulation is based on choosing inside the shell N SaS parallel to the middle surface in order to introduce the displacements and electric potentials of these surfaces as fundamental shell unknowns. Such choice of unknowns with the use of Lagrange polynomials of degree N-1 in through-thickness interpolations of the displacements, strains, electric potential, electric field and material properties leads to a robust FGM piezoelectric shell formulation. The inner SaS are located at Chebyshev polynomial nodes that make it possible to minimize uniformly the error due to Lagrange interpolation. To implement the effective analytical integration throughout the element, the extended assumed natural strain (ANS) method is employed. As a result, the piezoelectric four-node solid-shell element exhibits a superior performance in the case of coarse meshes. To circumvent shear and membrane locking, the hybrid stress-strain solid-shell formulation via the Hu-Washizu variational principle is employed. The developed solid-shell element could be useful for the 3D stress analysis of FGMstructures because the SaS method allows obtaining the solutions with a prescribed accuracy, which asymptotically approach the exact solutions of electroelasticity as the number of SaS tends to infinity.
Prenatal diagnosis of ring chromosome 13: a rare chromosomal aberration
Authors: Goto Haruka , Fujita Yasuyuki , Sato Yuka , Kido Saki , Ogawa Masanobu , Kato Kiyoko 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
We report the case of a 24-year-old Japanese woman, gravida 2, para 1, who became pregnant spontaneously. At 24 weeks of gestation, her fetus was found to have various abnormalities, including holoprosencephaly, congenital heart disease and severe fetal growth restriction, and she was referred to our hospital. From these findings, the fetus was suspected of having a chromosomal aberration, in particular, trisomy 13, and after genetic counseling, amniocentesis for chromosomal analysis was performed. Although the results of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis showed no numeric abnormalities, G-banding analysis revealed a ring chromosome 13; 46, XX, r (13) (p13q32). At 41 weeks of gestation, she delivered a female baby weighing 2240 g with good condition. The respiratory status of the neonate was stable, and she was discharged 30 days after birth. Ring chromosomes are rare chromosomal aberrations, and obstetricians should recognize that ring chromosomes cannot be detected solely by FISH analysis and require G-banding analysis and that information on the ring breakpoint is needed to counsel the parents regarding the fetal and neonatal prognosis.
New bounds for Shannon, Relative and Mandelbrot entropies via Hermite interpolating polynomial

Published: June 2018

Abstract
To procure inequalities for divergences between probability distributions, Jensen’s inequality is the key to success. Shannon, Relative and Zipf-Mandelbrot entropies have many applications in many applied sciences, such as, in information theory, biology and economics, etc. We consider discrete and continuous cyclic refinements of Jensen’s inequality and extend them from convex function to higher order convex function by means of different new Green functions by employing Hermite interpolating polynomial whose error term is approximated by Peano’s kernal. As an application of our obtained results, we give new bounds for Shannon, Relative and Zipf-Mandelbrot entropies.
Risk bounds with additional information on functionals of the risk vector
Authors: Rüschendorf L. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract We consider the problem of determining risk bounds for the Value at Risk for risk vectors X where besides the marginal distributions also information on the distribution or on the expectation of some functionals Tj(X), 1 ≤ j ≤ m, is available. In particular this formulation includes the case where information on subgroup sums or maxima or on the correlations or covariances is available. Based on the method of dual bounds we obtain improved risk bounds compared to the marginal case. In general the explicit calculation of the dual bounds poses a challenge. We discuss various forms of relaxation of these bounds which are accessible and in some cases even lead to sharp bounds.
Novel splice variants of the human kallikrein-related peptidases 11 (KLK11) and 12 (KLK12), unraveled by next-generation sequencing technology
Authors: Adamopoulos Panagiotis G. , Kontos Christos K. , Scorilas Andreas 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Tissue kallikrein, kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs), and plasma kallikrein form the largest group of serine proteases in the human genome, sharing many structural and functional characteristics. In this study, we describe the molecular cloning of four novel splice variants of the human KLK11 and KLK12 genes, discovered by combining 3′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3′ RACE), next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, advanced bioinformatic analysis and Sanger sequencing. Expression analysis of these new transcripts in cell lines originating from 17 cancerous and two normal tissues revealed the expression pattern of each transcript. These novel KLK11 and KLK12 splice variants represent new potential cancer biomarkers.
Effect of Sodium Chloride and Processing Methods on Protein Aggregation, Physical-Chemical and Rheological Properties of Pork Batters
Authors: Kang Zhuang-Li , Hu Sheng-Jie , Zhu Dong-Yang , Ma Han-jun 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The sodium chloride level and processing method significantly affected (p < 0.05) color, salt-soluble proteins (SSP) solubility, protein aggregation, texture and rheological properties. When increased sodium chloride, the L* value of raw batters, SSP solubility, protein aggregation, and formed firmer texture were increased (p < 0.05). At the same sodium chloride levels, the batters produced by beating process had higher L* value, SSP solubility, D3,2 value of SSP, and firmer texture than the chopping. Using the beating process, the cooked batters prepared with 1 % and 2 % sodium chloride had similar color, texture and the storage modulus (G’) value at 80 °C. The result of dynamic rheological exhibited that the temperature of protein denaturation was affected by sodium chloride contents and processing methods. In addition, the cooked batters formed uniform spongy-like structure when using the beating process. Overall, the use of beating process with 1 % sodium chloride is able to increase SSP solubility, protein aggregation, thus forming firmer gel texture.

Authors: Singh Kanika , Puri Ratna Dua , Bhai Pratibha , Arya Archana Dayal , Chawla Garima , Saxena Renu , Verma Ishwar C. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

Background
Triple A syndrome is characterized by achalasia, alacrima and adrenal insufficiency with neurological manifestations occurring later in the course of the disease. It occurs due to biallelic mutations in the AAAS gene which codes for the nuclear pore protein ALADIN. A number of other features have been reported over time in this heterogeneous and multisystemic disorder. Unlike other autosomal recessive disorders, triple A syndrome patients show a wide phenotypic variability both among different patients and family members harboring the same mutation(s). A gene-environment interaction has been thought to be a plausible cause.

Methods
A retrospective analysis of six families and seven patients presenting with triple A syndrome was carried out. The clinical, biochemical and molecular testing data were collected and correlated. The results of treatment and follow-up and genetic counseling of the families were obtained wherever feasible.

Results
Our cohort consisted mostly of children and displayed a wide phenotypic variability in the presenting symptoms ranging from hypoglycemic seizures at the severe end of the spectrum to insidious hyperpigmentation and delayed development. Neurological and autonomic features were present in a few patients, suggesting requirement of prolonged follow-up for these patients. A significant gap between the onset of symptoms and confirmatory diagnosis was noted, suggesting that a high index of suspicion is required for diagnosing this disorder. Sudden unexplained death was observed in siblings, and early diagnosis and treatment could help in preventing early mortality and improving the quality of life for these patients.

Conclusion
High index of suspicion for a potentially treatable disorder allows early appropriate intervention.
Renaming urban toponomy as a mean of redefining local identity: the case of street decommunization in Poland
Authors: Różycki Bartłomiej 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
During and after democratic transition in Poland, the decommunization of urban toponomy became an important aspect of symbolic changes. Although the general course of street renaming was similar in the whole country, the pace of these changes as well as scope of tolerance towards the symbols of the past varied. In this article, the cases of three major Polish cities are analyzed. In Kraków, its long and rich history constituted a background of local identity and certain level of autonomy in defining the symbolic landscape. Warsaw on the other hand was a city whose extraordinary experiences related to the World War II resulted in commemoration of a whole new set of myths and figures through the street names. What is more, its status of the country’s capital caused its identity to influence the canon of Polish history as a whole. This affected the third analyzed case, Wrocław, whose long history of links with German culture resulted in very little symbolic capital which would be compatible with this new patriotic canon. As a result, Wrocław accepted in its urban toponomy a vast number of symbols unrelated to its own memory, in the same time suppressing symbols linked to its local identity. Accepting external heritage turned out to be a strategy of avoiding conflict with the dominant narrative.1
The Role of Conceptual Integration in Christian Language on the Basis of the Use of THE LOST SHEEP IS HUMANITY Blend in Patristic Writings
Authors: Gomola Aleksander 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThe article investigates the role of conceptual integration in generating new theological meanings in early Christian texts. Its basic assumption is that metaphoricity and novelty of language of Christian doctrine and teaching in early Christian period should be regarded as a well attested case of linguistic creativity whose mechanisms are explained by Conceptual Blending Theory as proposed by Fauconnier and Turner. After a brief presentation of selected theological studies utilizing cognitive linguistic perspective and a brief discussion of basic notions of Conceptual Blending Theory, the article examines variants of the THE LOST SHEEP IS HUMANITY blend in selected patristic texts by Origen, Cyril of Alexandria, Pseudo-Macarius, Augustine and Gregory of Nyssa. The analysis of these variants shows that conceptual integration allowed these authors to create and develop a wide range of theological ideas representing many important aspects of Christian doctrine from soteriology, through ecclesiology to Christology. This in turn proves that cognitive linguistics may provide theologians with instruments of linguistic analysis that shed new light on many aspects of theological language and reasoning.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Usually, the possibility of product differentiation of the construction company is defined as restricted, limited. Product differentiation as a key element of product policy aims to create a sustainable competitive advantage in the minds of consumers, using tangible and intangible characteristics and product properties compared to the next strongest competitor. The ability of any company to differentiate their own product makes it distinct from competitors and gives the opportunity to control the market and build competitive advantages. The aim of the study is to prove: 1) The need to differentiate the product of the construction company, 2) Guidelines for differentiation of the construction product taking into accounts the specifics of the construction market, product and process.
Masahiro Mori’s Buddhist philosophy of robot
Authors: Kimura Takeshi 
Published: June 2018

AbstractMasahiro Mori is a well-known Japanese robotics scholar whose notion of Uncanny Valley is worldly famous. Mori is also an initiator of the Robot Contest and a student of Buddhism and a practitioner of Zen. He constructs his original Buddhist philosophy of robotics throughout his career. His robotics work and his learning of Buddhism develop together side by side in an interesting intertwined manner. This paper will take up the issues such as the ethical personality, quality of minds, and experiences of engineers as key components in and for an “ethical design” of robots by examining Mori’s Buddhist philosophy of robotics. This paper is divided into four sections. After an introductory part, in the second section, we will explore Mori’s view of Zen as aspiritual source for technological creativity. In Section 3, we will examine his view into a robot-contest as a location of a realized teaching of Buddhism, especially, in relationship to the Diamond Sūtra, in order to see Mori’s educational contribution. In Section 4, we will examine how Mori became engaged to learn and practice Buddhism and came to the realization of Buddhahood in relation to robotics.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
This paper solves the problem of localization for indoor environments using visual place recognition, visual odometry and experience based localization using a camera. Our main motivation is just like a human is able to recall from its past experience, a robot should be able to use its recorded visual memory in order to determine its location. Currently experience based localization has been used in constrained environments like outdoor roads, where the robot is constrained to the same set of locations during every visit. This paper adapts the same technology to wide open maps like halls wherein the robot is not constrained to specific locations. When a robot is turned on in a room, it first uses visual place recognition using histogram of oriented gradients and support vector machine in order to predict which room it is in. It then scans its surroundings and uses a nearest neighbor search of the robot’s experience coupled with visual odometry for localization. We present the results of our approach test on a dynamic environment comprising of three rooms. The dataset consists of approximately 5000 monocular and 5000 depth images.
Interpretation of the DMT in Silts
Authors: Schnaid Fernando , Belloli Marcus V. A. , Odebrecht Edgar , Marchetti Diego 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This paper describes a proposed testing procedure and interpretation method for the characterization of silts using the flat dilatometer test (DMT). This method aims to compensate for errors that are introduced by the partial-drainage conditions that take place around the DMT blade. In transient soils, the after-installation DMT readings change continuously with time because excess pore pressure dissipation. By monitoring the variation in A-readings, it is possible to extrapolate the results back to the origin to estimate an equivalent undrained A0 value. In addition, in seeking to obtain a closed-form solution for the membrane expansion problem in the elastic regime, a simple correction is introduced in the analysis where the B-reading is expressed in terms of average mean stresses that take place prior to expansion. Preliminary results in clay demonstrate that the method is effective and can be introduced in practice with minimal costs by considering simple adaptations to procedures originally developed for clay.
Chronometry on Spike-LFP Responses Reveals the Functional Neural Circuitry of Early Auditory Cortex Underlying Sound Processing and Discrimination

Published: June 2018

AbstractAnimals and humans rapidly detect specific features of sounds, but the time courses of the underlying neural response for different stimulus categories is largely unknown. Furthermore, the intricate functional organization of auditory information processing pathways is poorly understood. Here, we computed neuronal response latencies from simultaneously recorded spike trains and local field potentials (LFPs) along the first two stages of cortical sound processing, primary auditory cortex (A1) and lateral belt (LB), of awake, behaving macaques. Two types of response latencies were measured for spike trains as well as LFPs: (1) onset latency, time-locked to onset of external auditory stimuli; and (2) selection latency, time taken from stimulus onset to a selective response to a specific stimulus category. Trial-by-trial LFP onset latencies predominantly reflecting synaptic input arrival typically preceded spike onset latencies, assumed to be representative of neuronal output indicating that both areas may receive input environmental signals and relay the information to the next stage. In A1, simple sounds, such as pure tones (PTs), yielded shorter spike onset latencies compared to complex sounds, such as monkey vocalizations (“Coos”). This trend was reversed in LB, indicating a hierarchical functional organization of auditory cortex in the macaque. LFP selection latencies in A1 were always shorter than those in LB for both PT and Coo reflecting the serial arrival of stimulus-specific information in these areas. Thus, chronometry on spike-LFP signals revealed some of the effective neural circuitry underlying complex sound discrimination.
Successful use of cinacalcet to treat parathyroid-related hypercalcemia in two pediatric patients
Authors: Mogas E , Campos-Martorell A , Clemente M , Castaño L , Moreno-Galdó A , Yeste D , Carrascosa A 
Published: June 2018

Summary
Two pediatric patients with different causes of hyperparathyroidism are reported. First patient is a 13-year-old male with severe hypercalcemia due to left upper parathyroid gland adenoma. After successful surgery, calcium and phosphate levels normalized, but parathormone levels remained elevated. Further studies revealed a second adenoma in the right gland. The second patient is a 13-year-old female with uncommon hypercalcemia symptoms. Presence of pathogenic calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR) mutation was found, resulting in diagnosis of symptomatic familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia. Cinacalcet, a calcium-sensing agent that increases the sensitivity of the CASR, was used in both patients with successful results.

Learning points:

Hyperparathyroidism is a rare condition in pediatric patients. If not treated, it can cause serious morbidity.

Genetic tests searching for CASR or MEN1 gene mutations in pediatric patients with primary hyperparathyroidism should be performed.

Cinacalcet has been effective for treating different causes of hyperparathyroidism in our two pediatric patients.

Treatment has been well tolerated and no side effects have been detected.
