Remarks on colloquialisation in the original and translated text
A studied literary work is novel „Похороните меня за плинтусом” [Bury me under the floor] (P. Sanajew, 2010) and its Polish translation „Pochowajcie mnie pod podłogą” (I. Korybut‑Dashkievich, 2009). The author investigates the mazy family relations which are reflected in the language and primarily found in everyday dialogues. The elaborate pejorative nominations as nouns, adjective‑noun collocations, including vulgarity and, to a lesser extent, positively‑marked lexis are conspicuous. The translator selects different counterparts to achieve the same wording of the original text, depending on the recipient and the context of expression. She uses a variety of synonymous means of the target language. To translate expressive forms of address and other nominations denoting humans can be a real challenge as bilingual dictionaries hardly reflect colloquial and vulgar vocabulary so bilingual parallel corpora can be useful then.

Translator’s footnotes in the light of hypertext literature theory
The article draws attention to such translator’s footnotes that can be connected with associative thinking, typical of the Internet and of hypertext literature. First, the footnote as a specific translation technique was discussed, along with various views on it. Then, the notion of associative thinking was introduced. Next, emblematic features and examples of hypertext and proto‑hypertext literature were presented, wherein the status of footnotes is raised and new light is shed on the figure of the author. Finally, such translators’ footnotes were shown wherein translators become visible and demand that their work be noticed and appreciated. It may be in a form of a game with the reader, a dialogue with the author or a manifestation of their presence (and power over the text). They compete with the authors for the attention of the reader, who moves between fragments of the text, just like in hypertext novels.
Reward-Based Crowdfunding Campaigns: Informational Value and Access to Venture Capital
Authors: Roma Paolo , Gal-Or Esther , Chen Rachel R. 
Published: April 2018

We consider an entrepreneur who designs a reward-based crowdfunding campaign when the campaign provides a signal about the future demand for the product and subsequent venture capital is needed. We find that both the informativeness of the campaign and considerations related to gaining access to venture capital funding affect the entrepreneur’s choice of campaign instruments, as well as her decision of whether to run a campaign. In particular, entrepreneurs should launch the campaign either when it is highly informative or when it is not informative at all. For relatively low levels of informativeness, but not so low that the venture capitalist (VC) completely ignores the campaign outcome in his funding decision, our study suggests that the entrepreneur might forgo the opportunity of acquiring information via crowdfunding because the benefits of crowdfunding are insufficient to offset the risk of campaign failure. We also find that the preference of entrepreneurs in favor of crowdfunding is stronger than that of VCs. For backers, we point out that in addition to the risk inherent in new product development, they should be cognizant of the risk that successful campaigns do not guarantee subsequent VC funding. As the use of crowdfunding platforms becomes more prevalent for entrepreneurial projects, our study offers a deeper understanding of the dual role of reward-based crowdfunding in terms of acquiring demand information and raising capital for early-stage start-ups.

Closing a Supplier’s Energy Efficiency Gap Through Assessment Assistance and Procurement Commitment
Authors: Nguyen Jason , Donohue Karen , Mehrotra Mili 
Published: April 2018

This paper analyzes the energy efficiency (EE) investment decisions of a capital-constrained manufacturer that competes with an alternative supplier for the business of a large industrial buyer. Through a series of game-theoretic models, we characterize when it is beneficial for the buyer to offer EE instruments, including assessment assistance and procurement commitment, and how these instruments interact with third-party assessment assistance to affect the supplier’s EE investment level. We find that assessment assistance helps reduce the EE gap but procurement commitment is required to eliminate it. We also find that the availability of third-party assessment assistance reduces the buyer’s incentive to offer both of its instruments, a scenario that potentially lowers the supplier’s EE investment level. Our findings provide insights for buyers and policy makers interested in improving supply-chain EE.The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2017.2941 .This paper was accepted by Vishal Gaur, operations management.
Occurrence of Fibrous Chrysotile and Tremolite in the Çankiri and Ankara Regions, Central Anatolia, Turkey
Authors: Külah Tacit , Kadir Selahattin , Erkoyun Hülya , Huggett Jennifer , Atabey Eşref 
Published: April 2018

AbstractNumerous occurrences of asbestos minerals, notably chrysotile and tremolite, are to be found on fracture surfaces in thrust fault deformation zones of Cretaceous dunite-harzburgite and pyroxenite in the Çankırı and Ankara regions, central Anatolia, Turkey. Consequently, potential exists for the development of regional malignant mesothelioma. The means of serpentinization, such as reaction of seawater during accretion of the upper ophiolitic mantle crust in a subduction zone and/or following uplift of ophiolitic units and the influence of hydrothermal/meteoric fluids along fractures, were investigated. Cretaceous dunite-harzburgite and localized pyroxenite rocks are mainly composed of serpentinized olivine and pyroxene associated with opaque minerals and Fe-(oxyhydr)oxide phases. Smectite, chlorite, illite, kaolinite, hydromagnesite, goethite, quartz, and opal-CT are also present. Chrysotile and localized tremolite occur either as a mesh, a suboriented to oriented long-fiber bundle, or as fiber-filling millimetric micro-vein textures on relicts of olivine and pyroxene (enstatite, augite). The chrysotile and tremolite have non-pseudomorphic textures developed under high pressure and temperature. The textures suggest authigenic formation of chrysotile and tremolite via a dissolution and precipitation mechanism. Additionally, spherical structures of opal-CT and locally platy hydromagnesite crystals either enclose or are developed within chrysotile/tremolite fiber bundles. The leaching of MgO, Fe2O3, Al2O3, Ni, Cr, and Nb, an increase in the LREE/HREE ratio, and negative Eu anomalies in the dunite-harzburgite and pyroxenite, and asbestos samples suggest that the chrysotile and tremolite were derived from the serpentinization of olivine and pyroxene. The chrysotile and tremolite were developed along fractures by hydrothermal fluid alteration during accretion and/or following the uplift of ophiolitic units of the region under high pressure and temperature conditions. This interpretation is also supported by isotope data and the calculated formation temperature of 170–555°C for chrysotile and tremolite. The average structural formulae for chrysotile and tremolite are (NanK0.03)(Mg5.54Fe0.09Al0.05Ca0.01Mn0.001) (Si3.96Al0.03)O10(OH)8 and (Na0.17K0.07)(Ca1.59Mg0.19Mn0.002)(Mg4.72Fe0.28)(Si7.86Al0.1Fe0.06)O22(OH)2, respectively.
Quantitative X-Ray Powder Diffraction and the Illite Polytype Analysis Method for Direct Fault Rock Dating: A Comparison of Analytical Techniques
Authors: Boles Austin , Schleicher Anja M. , Solum John , van der Pluijm Ben 
Published: April 2018

AbstractIllite polytypes are used to elucidate the geological record of formations, such as the timing and provenance of deformations in geological structures and fluids, so the ability to characterize and identify them quantitatively is key. The purpose of the present study was to compare three X-ray powder diffraction (Q-XRPD) methods for illite polytype quantification for practical application to directly date clay-rich fault rocks and constrain the provenance of deformation-related fluids in clay-rich brittle rocks of the upper crust. The methods compared were WILDFIRE© (WF) modeling, End-member Standards Matching (STD), and Rietveld whole-pattern matching (BGMN®). Each technique was applied to a suite of synthetic mixtures of known composition as well as to a sample of natural clay gouge (i.e. the soft material between a vein wall and the solid vein). The analytical uncertainties achieved for these synthetic samples using WF modeling, STD, and Rietveld methods were ±4–5%, ±1%, and ±6%, respectively, with the caveat that the end-member clay mineral used for matching was the same mineral sample used in the test mixture. Various particle size fractions of the gouge were additionally investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to determine polytypes and laser particle size analysis to determine grain size distributions. The three analytical techniques produced similar 40Ar/39Ar authigenesis ages after unmixing, which indicated that any of the methods can be used to directly date the formation of fault-related authigenic illite. Descriptions were included for pre-calculated WF illite polytype diffractogram libraries, model endmembers were fitted to experimental data using a least-squares algorithm, and mixing spreadsheet programs were used to match end-member natural reference samples.
Behavioral Interventions for Inappropriate Sexual Behavior in Individuals With Developmental Disabilities and Acquired Brain Injury: A Review
Authors: Clay Casey J. , Bloom Sarah E. , Lambert Joseph M. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Inappropriate sexual behavior (ISB) is a common, but understudied, issue for individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities (DD), intellectual disability (ID), and/or acquired brain injuries (ABI). We conducted a systematic review to identify, analyze, and synthesize published behavior-analytic approaches to intervention for ISB in DD, ID, or ABI populations. Twenty-three studies employing single-subject research methodology were identified and evaluated using quality indicators described by Horner et al. (2005). Results of our analysis suggest insufficient evidence exists to consider any specific response-suppression technique an overarching treatment for decreasing ISB using the Horner et al. criteria. However, broadly speaking, behavior analytic approaches have been highly effective. Practitioners should consider function-based intervention and draw from studies identified as having strong supporting evidence.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic value of dual-energy lung perfusion imaging (DEPI) using a dual-source CT system for the pulmonary embolism (PE).Methods50 patients in high acute PE prevalence were enrolled to accept the DEPI (lung perfusion image and CTA image of pulmonary artery acquired through the Dual Energy software) and emergent DSA angiography (golden diagnostic criterion).ResultsPatients using CT had significantly reduced examination duration and dosage of contrast agent than those using DSA examination, (P < 0.05). In total, 260 pulmonary arteries and 1020 pulmonary segments were examined through CTA, in which embolisms were identified in 50 lobes of lung, 108 pulmonary segments and 82 sub-segments. Reduction or lack of perfusion was identified through DEPI in 48 lobes of lung (concordance rate of 96.0%), 103 pulmonary segments (concordance rate of 95.4%) and 78 subsegments (concordance rate of 95.1%). The comparison of embolism quantity and morphological characteristics of pulmonary artery between CTA images and DEPI images showed no statistically significant difference.ConclusionBetter application value can be achieved in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism by dual-energy lung perfusion imaging using a dual-source CT system.
Report formatting in laboratory medicine – a call for harmony
Authors: Jones Graham R.D. , Legg Michael 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The results of medical laboratory testing are only useful if they lead to appropriate actions by medical practitioners and/or patients. An underappreciated component of the medical testing process is the transfer of the information from the laboratory report into the reader’s brain. The format of laboratory reports can be determined by the testing laboratory, which may issue a formatted report, or by electronic systems receiving information from laboratories and controlling the report format. As doctors can receive information from many laboratories, interpreting information from reports in a safe and rapid manner is facilitated by having similar report layouts and formats. Using Australia as an example, there is a wide variation in report formats in spite of a body of work to define standards for reporting. In addition to standardising of report formats, consideration needs to be given to optimisation of report formatting to facilitate rapid and unambiguous reading of the report and also interpretation of the data. Innovative report formats have been developed by some laboratories; however, wide adoption has not followed. The need to balance uniformity of reporting with appropriate innovation is a challenge for safe reporting of laboratory results. This paper discusses the current status and opportunity for improvement in safety and efficiency of the reading of laboratory reports, using current practise and developments in Australia as examples.

Authors: Aleksova Lyubka , Ali Metin M. , Chakarov Djevdet I. , Yozgyur Zeynep M. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Aim: To compare the level of intra-operative identification of external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) through classical conventional clinical methods of prevention against those applying intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM).
Materials and methods: The study included 102 patients with interventions on the thyroid gland performed in the surgical clinics of St George University Hospital and the Department of Special Surgery of Plovdiv Medical University. All operative procedures were performed by the standard technique of capsular dissection and IONM.
Results: Of all 102 thyroid procedures 87 (85.3%) patients underwent total thyroidectomy and 15 (14.7%) had unilateral thyroid lobectomy. One hundred fifty-five (82.01%) out of 189 expected EBSLN were identified and investigated intraoperatively when trying to identify visually EBSLN by the so called classical (conventional) methods of prevention. With the use of IONM, 181 (96.76%) EBSLN were correctly identified. Compared to the preliminary results of visual identification - 155/189 (82.01%) EBSLN, the degree of identification of EBSLN through IONM reached 96.76% which is a statistically significant difference (P <0.05)
Conclusion: The use of IONM during thyroid resection significantly improves the degree of identification of EBSLN compared to conventional means of prevention. Routine use of IONM in surgical interventions on the thyroid gland will be beneficial for more secure identification and prevention of EBSLN.

Childhood obesity: how long should we wait to predict weight?
Authors: Butler Éadaoin M. , Derraik José G.B. , Taylor Rachael W. , Cutfield Wayne S. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractObesity is highly prevalent in children under the age of 5 years, although its identification in infants under 2 years remains difficult. Several clinical prediction models have been developed for obesity risk in early childhood, using a number of different predictors. The predictive capacity (sensitivity and specificity) of these models varies greatly, and there is no agreed risk threshold for the prediction of early childhood obesity. Of the existing models, only two have been practically utilized, but neither have been particularly successful. This commentary suggests how future research may successfully utilize existing early childhood obesity prediction models for intervention. We also consider the need for such models, and how targeted obesity intervention may be more effective than population-based intervention.
Difficulty in visual sex identification: a case study on bank voles
Authors: Bartolommei Paola , Bencini Cristina , Bonacchi Andrea , Gasperini Stefania , Manzo Emiliano , Cozzolino Roberto 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The present study aims at quantifying the error in visual sexing of live-trapped bank voles and evaluating if animal body weight and experience of field workers affected the ability to determine the sex of voles. The error in sex attribution involved 25.6% of non-reproductive individuals, pointing out the need to validate the field sex identification. Body weight of voles did not affect the ability of trappers to visually discriminate the sex of animals. Field workers had similar percentages of error independently of their expertise in vole sexing but they also showed a sex-bias in wrongly sexed individuals.
Outcome of Early Versus Late Operated Patients Due to Subarachnoid Hemorrhage from Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm
Authors: Filipce Venko , Caparoski Aleksandar , Kamiloski Tomi 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Introduction. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is unfortunately the most common manifestation of intracranial aneurysms.
Methods. Very frequently there is a dilemma on whether patient should be operated on early i.e. in the first 72 hours or late i.e. two weeks after the bleeding. Many factors influence this decision, some of them being neurological condition at admission, age of the patient, eventual compressive intracerebral hematoma. We present our experiences in treatment and decision making of these patients as well as the outcome of early versus late surgically treated patients.
Results. Patients were divided in five groups according to the grade of neurological condition on admition. Within each group statistical analysis was conducted to compare early versus late surgery. Results have show difference within each group of patients.
Conclusion. In our study, patients that have been admitted in good clinical condition and operated on early had better outcome than patients operated late.
Constructing analytic solutions on the Tricomi equation
Authors: Ghiasi Emran Khoshrouye , Saleh Reza 
Published: April 2018

AbstractIn this paper, homotopy analysis method (HAM) and variational iteration method (VIM) are utilized to derive the approximate solutions of the Tricomi equation. Afterwards, the HAM is optimized to accelerate the convergence of the series solution by minimizing its square residual error at any order of the approximation. It is found that effect of the optimal values of auxiliary parameter on the convergence of the series solution is not negligible. Furthermore, the present results are found to agree well with those obtained through a closed-form equation available in the literature. To conclude, it is seen that the two are effective to achieve the solution of the partial differential equations.

Abstract
In this study, six different types of polysulfone hollow fiber membranes were fabricated from the same polymeric dope solution by manipulating several important parameters during the spinning process, aiming to find the best membrane supports for the coating layer in the gas separation process. The experimental results showed that upon the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating process, the gas pair selectivities of all six types of membranes were significantly increased with respect to carbon dioxide (CO2)/methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2)/nitrogen (N2) separation. However, the membrane support spun at higher air gap and lower dope extrusion rate was found to be the best support for PDMS coating owing to its good structural integrity that led to a good balance between gas permeance and gas pair selectivity. Further investigation showed that the use of poly(ether block amide) (Pebax) as coating material did not certainly improve both gas permeance and the selectivity of hollow fiber membranes, although Pebax was previously reported to exhibit better performance than PDMS in flat sheet membranes. One of the main reasons is the difficulty of forming a defect-free Pebax coating layer on the outer surface of hollow fibers owing to the stickiness issue among fibers upon coating. More research is still needed to optimize the Pebax coating solution and its drying process in order to achieve the full potential of such coating material for hollow fiber membranes.
