Disability Studies wobec natury postaw dyskryminujących
Authors: Wlazło Marcin 
Published: September 2018

With the development of disability studies the awareness of “false universalization of disability” increased. It was realized that both theoretical and practical abuse is to treat disability as the main and even the only factor that binds the environment of people with disabilities. The configurations of the aspects of oppression and discriminatory attitudes have been in fact much more complex and elaborate than it was originally thought according to the promotion of the social model of disability. The article addresses the problem of multiplicity and simultaneous oppression, in which disability co-exists among other factors, considering gender, race or age of human as no less important factors of marginalization, violation of law and social exclusion.
Epstein–Barr virus infection in primary immunodeficiency
Authors: Ovadia Adi , Dalal Ilan 
Published: September 2018

Primary immunodeficiency (PID) is a group of genetic disorders which affects immune cell development, differentiation, and function. The affected individuals are highly susceptible to infection by a diverse array of pathogens. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection is ubiquitous in humans and usually involves an asymptomatic or self-limiting clinical course. In rare cases, EBV can cause not only an acute infection but also a severe exaggerated immune response and lymphoproliferative disease. Furthermore, EBV infection in patients with PID can lead to immune dysregulation and increased risk of malignancies, in addition to the severe course of the acute infection. Recognition of the different genetic defects and their effect on immunological pathways provide us with fundamental insights into the pathophysiology of EBV infection and associated disease, and may lead to developing better targeted therapies in the future. Here, we review all of PIDs with an abnormal response to EBV disease. Statement of novelty: Here we provide a review of the current knowledge of all PIDs reported to be associated with abnormal response to EBV infection and associated disease, such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
System-related and cognitive errors in laboratory medicine
Authors: Plebani Mario 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Current efforts focusing on better defining the prevalence of diagnostic errors, their causes and remediation strategies should address the role of laboratory testing and its contribution to high-quality care as well as a possible source of diagnostic errors. Data collected in the last few years highlight the vulnerability of extra-analytical phases of the testing cycle and the need for programs aiming to improve all steps of the process. Further studies have clarified the nature of laboratory-related errors, namely the evidence that both system-related and cognitive factors account for most errors in laboratory medicine. Technology developments are effective in decreasing the rates of system-related errors but organizational issues play a fundamental role in assuring a real improvement in quality and safety in laboratory processes. Educational interventions as well as technology-based interventions have been proposed to reduce the risk of cognitive errors. However, to reduce diagnostic errors and improve patient safety, clinical laboratories have to embark on a paradigmatic shift restoring the nature of laboratory services as an integral part of the diagnostic and therapy process.
Predict Forex Trend via Convolutional Neural Networks

Abstract
Deep learning is an effective approach to solving image recognition problems. People draw intuitive conclusions from trading charts. This study uses the characteristics of deep learning to train computers in imitating this kind of intuition in the context of trading charts. The main goal of our approach is combining the time-series modeling and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to build a trading model. We propose three steps to build the trading model. First, we preprocess the input data from quantitative data to images. Second, we use a CNN, which is a type of deep learning, to train our trading model. Third, we evaluate the model’s performance in terms of the accuracy of classification. The experimental results show that if the strategy is clear enough to make the images obviously distinguishable the CNN model can predict the prices of a financial asset. Hence, our approach can help devise trading strategies and help clients automatically obtain personalized trading strategies.
Do match officials give preferential treatment to the strongest football teams? An analysis of four top European clubs
Authors: Audrino Francesco 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
We address the fiercely debated question of whether the strongest European football clubs get special, preferential treatment from match officials in their decisions on the teams’ players over the course of the teams’ trophy winning streaks. To give an empirical answer to this question, we apply a rigorous econometric analysis for causal effect estimation to a self-constructed data set. We consider the two clubs in the Italian Serie A that experienced a prolonged winning streak during the period 2006–2016, namely Internazionale Milan (Inter) and Juventus Turin, as well as one team from the German Bundesliga (Borussia Dortmund) and one from the English Premier League (Manchester United) that also experienced a winning streak during the same period. This allows us to perform an analysis with enough statistical power to be able to estimate properly the effect of interest. The general opinion among fans, sports journalists, and insiders that the strongest clubs are favored by match officials’ decisions is supported only by the results of the analysis we run for Juventus, whereas for the other clubs under investigation, we did not find any significant bias. During its winning streak, more yellow cards and total booking points (an aggregated measure of yellow and red cards) were given to Juventus opponents. These effects are not only statistically significant, but also have a sizeable impact.

Abstract
The endangered Chacoan peccary (Catagonus wagneri Rusconi, 1930) has been recorded in western Paraguay, southeastern Bolivia and northern Argentina, reaching the north of Santiago del Estero province. Recently, however, this species was found much further south in central Argentina, ca. 650 km away from the southern limit of its known distribution. In this report we provide new records in previously unsurveyed areas linking the core range with the southern population, suggesting a continuous distribution. Due to synergistic effects of hunting pressure and deforestation, we are almost certain that the Chacoan peccary is as threatened in central Argentina as in the rest of its distribution range.
Hin zu Marx und über ihn hinaus
Authors: Kurz Heinz D. 
Published: September 2018

ZusammenfassungHeinz D. Kurz liefert in diesem Beitrag eine kritische Würdigung von Karl Marx‘ Beitrag zur politischen Ökonomie. Marx war ein wissenschaftlicher und politischer Entrepreneur, sein Gewerbe die Disruption bestehender Verhältnisse in der politischen Ökonomie und in der Welt. Seine politischen Aktivitäten wollte er grundsätzlich wissenschaftsbasiert wissen. Sein Denken ist unter anderem geprägt durch Aristoteles‘ Vorstellung von der guten Gesellschaft und von der klassischen Doktrin der nichtintendierten Folgen menschlichen Tuns. Der unter dem Zwangsgesetz der Konkurrenz stehende Kapitalist bewirkt über Innovationen eine Steigerung der gesellschaftlichen Produktivkraft, bis die Probleme der Knappheit der Güter und ihrer Verteilung an Bedeutung verlieren und der Kapitalismus einer höheren Produktionsweise Platz machen muss. Das „Bewegungsgesetz“ der modernen Gesellschaft findet Ausdruck im tendenziellen Fall der Profitrate. Heinz D. Kurz erörtert die Marxsche Wert- und Mehrwerttheorie sowie seine Theorie der endogenen ökonomischen Dynamik der kapitalistischen Produktionsweise. Er verweist außer auf die bedeutenden analytischen Funde von Marx auf dessen gravierende Irrtümer und Fehlurteile. Es besteht gleichwohl kein Zweifel: Marx war ein Großer unseres Faches, ein Sozialwissenschaftler von bleibendem Rang, ein Vorreiter auf zahlreichen Gebieten. Er teilt in außergewöhnlichem Maß das Schicksal anderer Großer, nicht verstanden, fehlinterpretiert und politisch missbraucht zu werden.
Segmentation and clustering in brain MRI imaging
Authors: Mirzaei Golrokh , Adeli Hojjat 
Published: September 2018

AbstractClustering is a vital task in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain imaging and plays an important role in the reliability of brain disease detection, diagnosis, and effectiveness of the treatment. Clustering is used in processing and analysis of brain images for different tasks, including segmentation of brain regions and tissues (grey matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid) and clustering of the atrophy in different parts of the brain. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of brain MRI studies that use clustering techniques for different tasks.
Semiosic translation
Authors: Torres-Martínez Sergio 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThe present article explains the tenets of an updated version of semiosic translation. Many of the ideas in this paper have been brewing for some time. For example, the integration of the Peircean notions of sign and abduction and the Wittgensteinian concepts of rule-following, complex-fact, and hypothesis. It turns out that this synthesis leads to some new proposals about translation semiotics that seek to move the field from the reification of objects, concepts and practices toward a broader conception of translation and translating centered on the translator’s agency. What this means is, among other things, that semiosic translation avoids a delimitation of signification (things and actions conveying meaning) by rejecting any conceptual appeals tinged with foundationalism. Rather, my argument will concentrate on elucidating the unpredictability of semiosis as a determinant of all forms of translation across sign systems.

Abstract

Background
Therapeutic options for advanced cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) are limited and ineffective due to the largely incomplete understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of this deadly tumor. So that, we planned to investigate epigenetic regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cholangiocarcinoma cell line by applying Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). We studied the effect of SAHA on cell proliferation, colony forming, migration and protein level of E-cadherin (E-cad) as an epithelial EMT marker, N-cadherin (N-cad) and Vimentin (Vim), as a mesenchymal markers of EMT, in human CCA cell line.

Materials and methods
Cell proliferation and migration measurements were performed by flow cytometry and wound healing assay, respectively. E-cad, N-cad and Vim protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis.

Results
It was found that SAHA significantly inhibits cell viability, proliferation and migration of TFK-1 cells, accompanied by reversing of EMT markers. SAHA, upregulated protein level of E-cad, while downregulated the protein levels of N-cad and Vimentin.

Conclusions
SAHA treatment may bebeneficial for CCA patients and SAHA might be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of CCA. However, future studies are needed to evaluate the clinical applicability of SAHA as a part of the chemotherapeutic regimen for CCA.

Abstract
Toong, T, Wilson, KE, Urban, K, Paniccia, M, Hunt, AW, Keightley, M, and Reed, N. Grip strength in youth ice hockey players: Normative values and predictors of performance. J Strength Cond Res 32(12): 3503–3511, 2018—Grip strength is a simple, valid, and reliable tool for estimating overall muscular strength, a key component of health-related fitness and sport performance. To date, there is a paucity of up-to-date and developmentally sensitive grip strength norms specific to youth-athlete populations. The objectives of this study are to (a) establish normative grip strength values in youth ice hockey players, (b) descriptively compare these values with existing Canadian pediatric norms, and (c) explore the relationship between age, sex, body mass, and hockey playing level on grip strength performance. A sample of 690 male and female youth ice hockey players between the ages of 10 and 16 years were included. Participants completed assessments of maximal grip strength using a hand dynamometer on both hands. In addition, age, sex, body mass, and hockey playing level were collected. Maximal absolute grip strength, stratified by age and sex, was higher than previously published Canadian pediatric norms. Grip strength increased with age in both sexes. Males and females performed similarly until 12 years of age, after which point males had greater strength. Individuals with greater body mass had greater strength. For the nondominant hand, competitive players had greater strength than those playing house league or select. This study describes normative grip strength values in youth ice hockey players according to age, sex, body mass, and playing level. These athlete-specific norms may be used to help evaluate and monitor changes in grip strength over time in youth ice hockey players.

Abstract
Lockie, RG, Ruvalcaba, TR, Stierli, M, Dulla, JM, Dawes, JJ, and Orr, RM. Waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio in law enforcement agency recruits: relationship to performance in physical fitness tests. J Strength Cond Res 34(6): 1666–1675, 2020—Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) use tests to assess recruit physical fitness. Body fat can influence test performance but is difficult to measure during academy because of time, equipment constraints, and instructor knowledge. This study examined relationships between waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), practical measures of fat distribution, and fitness test performance. Retrospective analysis of 267 LEA recruits (age: ∼28 years; height: ∼1.73 m; and body mass: ∼80 kg; 219 males and 48 females) was conducted. The tests included: WC and WHR; grip strength; push-ups, sit-ups, and arm ergometer revolutions in 60 seconds; vertical jump (VJ); medicine ball throw; 75-yd pursuit run (75PR); and multistage fitness test (MSFT) shuttles. Partial correlations, controlling for sex, calculated relationships between WC, WHR, and the fitness tests. Recruits were split into quartile groups (based on the sample size) for WC and WHR (group 1 had the lowest WC and WHR; and group 4 the highest). A 1-way multivariate analysis of variance, with sex as a covariate and Bonferroni post hoc, compared between-group test performance. A greater WC related to lesser push-up, sit-up, VJ, 75PR, and MSFT performance (p ≤ 0.024). When recruits were split into WC groups, group 4 had lesser performance in push-ups, sit-ups, VJ, and the 75PR compared with all groups (p ≤ 0.038). When split into WHR groups, group 4 performed less push-ups than group 1, less MSFT shuttles than group 3, and had a lower VJ compared with all groups (p ≤ 0.042). Recruits with a greater WC tended to have poorer fitness test performance.

Abstract
Krespi, M, Sporiš, G, and Trajković, N. Effects of two different tapering protocols on fitness and physical match performance in elite junior soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 34(6): 1731–1740, 2020—The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 2 different tapering protocols on fitness and physical match performance in elite junior soccer players. One-hundred fifty-eight elite junior soccer players (mean age: 17.1 ± 0.79 years; mean height: 177.9 ± 6.64 cm; mean body mass: 71.3 ± 7.96 kg; and mean body mass index: 22.5 ± 1.66 kg·m−2) were randomly assigned to 2 groups: an exponential (n = 79) and a linear tapering (n = 79) group. Training sessions were conducted 3 times per week for 8 weeks. After 4 weeks of training and 4 weeks of tapering, participants were assessed in terms of body composition, physical fitness, and distance covered within a match. Both groups showed similar changes for body composition. The exponential group showed better improvement than the linear group in the 5- and 30-m sprints, countermovement jump, and V̇o
2max (p < 0.05). The exponential tapering group had larger changes (p < 0.05) than the linear group in medium running (8–13 km·h−1) (6%; effect size = 0.26 compared with 5.5%; effect size = 0.22) and sprinting (>18 km·h−1) (26%; effect size = 0.72 compared to 21.7%; effect size = 0.60). The results show that exponential tapering produced better effects on speed, power, and endurance abilities than the linear protocol. Our results confirmed the reports of others that suggest that volume is the optimal variable to manipulate while maintaining both the intensity and the frequency of sessions.

O estudo desenvolve uma análise sobre como a indústria moveleira com produção seriada da Região Noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul atua quanto às questões ambientais que envolvem a produção e comercialização de seus produtos, objetivando analisar o posicionamento em relação ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Utilizaram-se os métodos de abordagem, dedutivo, qualitativo e quantitativo, através dos métodos de procedimentos pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, de campo, estudo multicaso e revisão bibliográfica, e como técnicas para coleta de dados o questionário, para análise de dados o software Excel e a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelam que existe uma preocupação por parte das empresas quanto ao pleno cumprimento da legislação ambiental pertinente, porém apresentam pouco conhecimento, interesse e ações para o desenvolvimento sustentável. A maioria das empresas não possui assessoria ambiental, e apenas uma empresa tem a própria plantação de árvores e usa energia alternativa para o funcionamento das máquinas. Os resíduos são pouco reaproveitados alternativamente como forma de energia e uso em subprodutos e existem poucos cuidados quanto à poluição do ar. Em 80% das empresas não se utiliza o marketing verde e 70% não promovem ou participam de projetos ambientais. As questões ambientais não são consideradas quando é realizado algum investimento na organização, apenas custos e produtividade são avaliados. Conclui-se reforçando que as organizações precisam entender que para atingir o desenvolvimento é preciso crescer com sustentabilidade, em harmonia com o meio ambiente e com a comunidade. O retorno de seus investimentos será maior a partir do momento em que proporcionarão boas condições de trabalho aos funcionários e qualidade de vida para a comunidade, atuando com compromisso ambiental e social.
