Authors: Kumar Amit , Singhal Shailey , Aggarwal Shilpi , Badoni Rajendra Prasad , Sharma Amit Kumar 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In the present manuscript, the effect of the synthetic route on the properties of SiO2-ZrO2 has been evaluated. Co-precipitation, sol-gel and microwave methods were adopted for synthesizing the structured oxide. The properties of the final products such as surface morphology, crystallinity, surface area, pore volume and size, particle size and total acidity were examined using standard instrumentation like Fe-SEM, XRD, BET and TPD. The results revealed that the mixed oxides were mesoporous in nature with a high BET surface area (315- 435m2/g). Among various methods, the microwave route achieved the highest surface area (433m2/g), pore volume (0.70cc/g) and pore size (6.50nm). The total acidity of the sample synthesized by the microwave reactor was also higher (0.296mmol/g) than that resulting from other methods. Results conclude that microwave method is a suitable choice for synthesizing the structured oxides with desirable properties.

Abstract
Scientific models play a vital role in science learning, representing major characteristics of scientific phenomena. A useful visualization of models that matches target concepts to source objects can facilitate students’ learning of abstract and complex structures of chemical elements and compounds. This report will show the importance of visualization and innovative technology (such as augmented reality), which has the potential of supporting students’ learning of stereochemistry and interactions among molecules. Examples (including organic compounds, chemical elements of 1A and 7A in the periodic table, water polarity, and carbon nanotube) are drawn to illustrate the potential use of augmented reality in chemistry instruction.
“Vaporwave Is (Not) a Critique of Capitalism”: Genre Work in An Online Music Scene
Authors: Nowak Raphaël , Whelan Andrew 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Vaporwave, first emerging in the early 2010s, is a genre of music characterised by extensive sampling of earlier “elevator music,” such as smooth jazz, MoR, easy listening, and muzak. Audio and visual markers of the 1980s and 1990s, white-collar workspaces, media technology, and advertising are prominent features of the aesthetic. The (academic, vernacular, and press) writing about vaporwave commonly positions the genre as an ironic or ambivalent critique of contemporary capitalism, exploring the implications of vaporwave for understandings of temporality, memory and technology. The interpretive and discursive labour of producing, discussing and contesting this positioning, described here as “genre work,” serves to constitute and sediment the intelligibility and coherence of the genre. This paper explores how the narrative of vaporwave as an aesthetic critique of late capitalism has been developed, articulated, and disputed through this genre work. We attend specifically to the limits around how this narrative functions as a pedagogical or sensitising device, instructing readers and listeners in how to understand and discuss musical affect, the nature and function of descriptions of music, and perhaps most importantly, the nature of critique, and of capitalism as something meriting such critique.
Development and application of a PCR-HRM molecular diagnostic method of SNPs linked with TNF inhibitor efficacy

Published: December 2018

Abstract

Background
Clinical evidence indicates that genetic variations may interfere with the mechanism of drug action. Recently, it has been reported that the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of STAT4, PTPN2, PSORS1C1 and TRAF3IP2RA genes are associated with the clinical efficacy of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Therefore, the detection of the SNPs linked with TNF inhibitor efficacy may provide an important basis for the treatment of RA. This study intended to establish molecular diagnostic methods for genotyping the linked SNPs based on high resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis.

Methods
The polymerase chain reaction-HRM (PCR-HRM) curve analysis detecting systems were established by designing the primers of the four SNPs, rs7574865G>T, rs7234029A>G, rs2233945C>A and rs33980500C>T, and the performance and clinical applicability of which were evaluated by using the Sanger sequencing method and genotyping test for 208 clinical samples.

Results
The self-developed molecular diagnostic methods of PCR-HRM were confirmed to be able to correctly genotype the four SNPs, the sensitivity and specificity of which were 100% in this study. The repeatability and reproducibility tests showed that there is little variable in intra-assay and inter-assay (the coefficient of variation ranged from 0.01% to 0.07%). The slight changes of DNA template and primer concentrations, PCR cycle number and reaction system volume had no significant effect on the genotyping performance of the method. The PCR-HRM assays were also applied to other PCR thermocyclers with HRM function and use different saturation fluorescent dyes.

Conclusions
The PCR-HRM genotyping method established in this study can be applied to the routine molecular diagnosis of rs7574865, rs7234029, rs2233945 and rs33980500.
Case reports of diagnostic error: liposarcoma mistaken for hematoma in an obese female with concurrent ipsilateral thrombosis on rivaroxaban
Authors: Lake Julia C.W. , Tsui Edison , Wu Jennifer , Baker Michael , Kieffer Kelly 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
We report the case of a morbidly obese 49-year-old female found to have a 16×14×10 cm high grade myxoid liposarcoma of the thigh initially diagnosed as a hematoma. Recent initiation of rivaroxaban for a coincident ipsilateral popliteal vein thrombosis placed hematoma high in the differential diagnosis. Despite its large size, the mass was not directly appreciable on physical exam due to excess adjacent adipose tissue. Diagnostic success was achieved only after anchoring bias was abandoned and adaptive expertise was applied.
A New Feature Selection Method for Sentiment Analysis in Short Text
Authors: Kumar H. M. Keerthi , Harish B. S. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In recent internet era, micro-blogging sites produce enormous amount of short textual information, which appears in the form of opinions or sentiments of users. Sentiment analysis is a challenging task in short text, due to use of formal language, misspellings, and shortened forms of words, which leads to high dimensionality and sparsity. In order to deal with these challenges, this paper proposes a novel, simple, and yet effective feature selection method, to select frequently distributed features related to each class. In this paper, the feature selection method is based on class-wise information, to identify the relevant feature related to each class. We evaluate the proposed feature selection method by comparing with existing feature selection methods like chi-square ( χ
2), entropy, information gain, and mutual information. The performances are evaluated using classification accuracy obtained from support vector machine, K nearest neighbors, and random forest classifiers on two publically available datasets viz., Stanford Twitter dataset and Ravikiran Janardhana dataset. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed feature selection method, we conducted extensive experimentation by selecting different feature sets. The proposed feature selection method outperforms the existing feature selection methods in terms of classification accuracy on the Stanford Twitter dataset. Similarly, the proposed method performs competently equally in terms of classification accuracy compared to other feature selection methods in most of the feature subsets on Ravikiran Janardhana dataset.
Der Tod Jesu Christi, Zeit und Ewigkeit
Authors: Gallus Petr 
Published: December 2018

Zusammenfassung
Ausgehend vom klassischen augustinisch-boëthianischen Ewigkeitsbegriff und seiner theologischen Kritik im 20. Jahrhundert versucht dieser Artikel, eine konsequent trinitätstheologische Lösung der Frage nach der Beziehung von Zeitlichkeit und Ewigkeit zu bringen. Das Konzept wird christologisch in der Auferstehung verankert, auf einem dynamischen Gottesbegriff gegründet, der Gott als den sich akkommodierenden Gott auffasst, und trinitarisch ausgeführt. So bleibt der Vater durch den Geist der Herr der Zeitlichkeit, die in Jesus Christus zu seiner eigenen Zeitlichkeit und diese zum Bestandteil des Lebens Gottes geworden ist. Kreuz und Auferstehung Christi bilden deshalb die Mitte sowohl der Zeit als auch der Ewigkeit.
Safer electrolyte components for rechargeable batteries
Authors: Appetecchi Giovanni Battista 
Published: December 2018

AbstractAmong the electrochemical energy storage systems, rechargeable lithium batteries are considered very promising candidates for the next generation power sources because of their high gravimetric and volumetric energy density with respect to other cell chemistries. The lithium-ion battery technology is based on the use of electrode materials able to reversibly intercalate lithium cations, which are continuously transferred between two host structures (negative and positive electrodes) during the charge and discharge processes. Commercial lithium-ion batteries commonly use liquid electrolytes based on suitable lithium salts (solute) and organic compounds (solvents). The latter, volatile and flammable, represent serious concerns for the safety of the electrochemical devices, this so far preventing their large diffusion in applications as automotive, storage from renewable sources, smart grids.One of the most appealing approaches is the partial or total replacement of the organic solvents with safer, less hazardous, electrolyte components. Here, a concise survey of ones of the most investigated types of alternative electrolyte components, proposed for safer and more reliable rechargeable lithium batteries, is reported.Graphical Abstract:

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Extracts from plants have been used traditionally for the preservation of palm leaf manuscripts in India. Although these methods are slowly being replaced by modern chemicals, art conservators still prefer herbal plant extracts as fungicides and insecticides. In this study, several traditional herbal extracts from the state of Odisha were studied using GC-MS and their long-term impact on palm leaf manuscripts was substantiated by visual observation. GC-MS results showed the presence of different herbal plant extracts from walnut fruit, Artemisia oil, cinnamon oil, equisetum stem, circium roots, Rhizophora leaf, tobacco leaf, and beggar-tick plant oil in palm leaf manuscripts. Illustrated manuscripts were also studied using FTIR spectroscopy which showed the presence of starch paste and pectin as binding media mixed in the pigments and writing inks for palm leaf manuscripts.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
If we could know what is in the mind of consumers, we would know what to offer them with a minimum consumption of resources and maximum profitability; but because we do not know these aspects, related to the clients’ desires, their needs, which are changing continuously, then organizations can implement certain models that can help organizations to measure value, the value required to invest in this relationship and to know which are the most valuable and loyal consumers. This is necessary to provide them with information, in order to offer discounts, deals and new products and services, in order to attract new clients and retain existing ones. Thus, in our article we intend to analyze the clients’ typology, to analyze the process of communication and relationship with them in order to determine their value. At the same time, we aim to present the importance of certain models used by specialists in order to attract, retain and develop these relationships with current and prospective clients.

Study Regarding the Process of Identifying and Evaluating Risks in a Public Entity
Authors: Tănase Loredana Cristina , State Violeta 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In any field of economic, political or social activities, the issue of risk emerges, which implies consequences that cannot be always anticipated or predicted. Lack of knowledge of the risks that may affect the achievement of public entity objectives, of causality factors, and of action measures to materialize them may lead to negative consequences for the entire economic activity.
In this context, identifying and assessing risks (probability of occurrence and impact on activity) are mandatory and determinant actions in the process of knowing the mechanism of action of each risk and implementing appropriate protection strategies. Based on the documentary research, fieldwork and applicable legislation, and empirical research conducted within a public entity, we have concluded that risk management within the public entity is a process that leads to improved performance and governance, even if it is an additional process to existing ones.
Corporate Communication Management. A Management Approach
Authors: Mihai Roxana-Lucia 
Published: December 2018

AbstractManagerial communication assumes the analyses of the managers’ communicational behaviour, which has as aim fulfilling of tasks and organizational objectives, by working with people. A major objective is: to develop and share the necessary knowledge for growing managerial efficiency - (Smeltzer, 1996). As some of the specialists have noticed, (Smeltzer 1983), The management sees communication as tool for achieving the aim, something that is needs to be used in relation with the objectives organization has, taking in consideration the issues related with the analysis of costs and benefits. Various studies have searched to look into this domain within the frames of social responsibility, which does not ignore the responsibility to have respect for the people as well as for the planet. Managers are people which have responsibilities for taking decisions, for the organization as well as for their subsidiaries (Hill, 2003). Those people are spending a large part of their time interacting with various types of public, with the structuring of the problems which appear on the various processes, as well as with the establishing of the strategic and main financial decisions and company objectives. The company success assumes the development, motivation and in the very end keeping close well performing employees. It is also necessary that managers are keeping themselves extremely connected to the informational sources in order to be able to react as soon as possible and eventually adjust the objectives and the strategy (Suchan 2006).
Artificial Conditions in Managing Agriculture European Funds

Published: December 2018

Abstract
The European Commission, through the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development has found that investment projects is the main way of undermining the EU’s financial interests regarding Rural Development, where three types of fraud can be found: 1. Ordinary Fraud (using funding for purposes other than those for which it was granted); 2. Rigged Procurement Procedures (e.g.: acquisition of second-hand equipment instead of new/complacency offers/manufactured/falsified and inflated offers); 3. Creation of artificial conditions for obtaining financing. Identifying and punishing them has become a priority for the Payment Authorities of the Member States of the European Union.
The Demobilization of Class Politics in Denmark: The Social Democratic Party’s Group-Based Appeals 1961–2004
Authors: Thau Mads 
Published: December 2018

AbstractIn Denmark, as in other Western European countries, the working class does not vote for social democratic parties to the same extent as before. Yet, what role did the social democratic parties themselves play in the demobilization of class politics? Building on core ideas from public opinion literature, this article differs from the focus on party policy positions in previous work and, instead, focuses on the group-based appeals of the Social Democratic Party in Denmark. Based on a quantitative content analysis of party programs between 1961 and 2004, I find that, at the general level, class-related appeals have been replaced by appeals targeting non-economic groups. At the specific level, the class-related appeals that remain have increasingly been targeting businesses at the expense of traditional left-wing groups such as wage earners, tenants and pensioners. These findings support a widespread hypothesis that party strategy was crucial in the decline of class politics, but also suggests that future work on class mobilization should adopt a group-centered perspective.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Hierarchical bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) nano-knitted hollow cages have been synthesized by simple hydrothermal method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared, UV-Vis, and Raman. The photodegradation efficiency of BiVO4 nanocage for universally used methylene blue dye. The BiVO4 hollow nanostructure demonstrated better photocatalytic competence in dye degradation as compared to the commercial TiO2 powders (P25). The excellent dye degradation can be certified to the high crystallisation of monoclinic BiVO4 and hollow nanostructure, which leads to high surface area and small bandgap energy of 2.44 eV.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
This paper describes the adsorption of Mn2+ ions from water with a mixture of wheat bran and Japanese medlar core shell (weight ratio of 30–70 wheat bran to Japanese medlar core shell) as low-cost adsorbent. Scanning Electron Microscope was used to characterize the adsorbent. The response surface methodology (RSM) that is usually approximated by a second-order regression model was employed to evaluate the effects of solution pH, initial Mn2+ concentration, adsorbent weight and contact time on the removal ratio of the Mn2+ ions. In this regard, the significant variables initial Mn2+ ions concentration, pH, adsorbent weight and square pH were found based on the small P-value for the model coefficients. The predicted optimal conditions were also performed. In the process optimization, maximal value of the removal ratio of Mn2+ was achieved as 96.91%. Additionally, this paper discusses the kinetic of adsorption in optimal conditions.
The Effect of Aging and Burnishing Treatment on Parts Joined by Friction Stir Welding

Published: December 2018

Abstract
In this study, the AA7075 aluminum alloy plates were joined by a friction stir–welding (FSW) method. Then, the effects of aging and burnishing treatments on the mechanical and microstructural properties of the joints were examined. First, the Al-7075 parts were joined with this method, and then only burnishing, only aging, and aging-plus-burnishing treatments were applied to the FSW specimens. The tensile and bending strengths were examined for all test specimens. Moreover, microhardness measurements and microstructural analyses were performed after all processes. It was seen that the aging and burnishing processes each had an improving effect on the mechanical properties of the stir-welded zone. The results also showed that the combined application of these two methods (aging plus burnishing) had an adverse effect on the parts joined with FSW. Furthermore, according to X-ray diffraction analyses, precipitates, such as magnesium silicide (Mg2Si), magnesium-aluminum-copper, and copper dialuminide (Al2Cu) as well as aluminum oxide formations, were observed at the weld region. Among these precipitates, while bending strength improved because of the Mg2Si formation, formation of Al2Cu precipitates adversely affected both tensile and bending strengths.
