Abstract
The impact of climate change on potato cultivation in Montenegro was assessed. Three scenarios (A1B, A1Bs and A2) for 2001–2030, 2071–2100 and 2071–2100, respectively, were generated by a regional climate model and compared with the baseline period 1961–1990. The results indicated an increase of temperature during the summer season from 1.3 to 4.8 °C in the mountain region and from 1 to 3.4 °C in the coastal zone. The precipitation decreased between 5 and 50% depending on the scenario, region and season. The changes in temperature and precipitation influenced phenology, yield and water needs. The impact was more pronounced in the coastal areas than in the mountain regions. The growing season was shortened 13.6, 22.9 and 29.7 days for A1B, A1Bs and A2, respectively. The increase of irrigation requirement was 4.0, 19.5 and 7.3 mm for A1B, A1Bs and A2, respectively. For the baseline conditions, yield reduction under rainfed cultivation was lower than 30%. For A1B, A1Bs and A2 scenarios, yield reductions were 31.0 ± 8.2, 36.3 ± 11.6 and 34.1 ± 10.9%, respectively. Possible adaptation measures include shifting of production to the mountain (colder) areas and irrigation application. Rainfed cultivation remains a viable solution when the anticipation of sowing is adopted.

Published: July 2018

Background:Accumulating experimental studies have manifested that long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important part in various biological process. It has been shown that their alterations and dysregulations are closely related to many critical complex diseases.Objective:It is of great importance to develop effective computational models for predicting potential lncRNA-disease associations.Method:Based on the hypothesis that there would be potential associations between a lncRNA and a disease if both of them have associations with the same group of microRNAs, and similar diseases tend to be in close association with functionally similar lncRNAs. A novel method for calculating similarities of both lncRNAs and diseases is proposed, and then a novel prediction model LDLMD for inferring potential lncRNA-disease associations is proposed.Results:LDLMD can achieve an AUC of 0.8925 in the Leave-One-Out Cross Validation (LOOCV), which demonstrated that the newly proposed model LDLMD significantly outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods and could be a great addition to the biomedical research field.Conclusion:Here, we present a new method for predicting lncRNA-disease associations, moreover, the method of our present decrease the time and cost of biological experiments.

Published: July 2018

En este estudio se determinan los elementos de la cultura innovativa que son implementados por los comerciantes de prendas de vestir, ubicados en el municipio Maicao en Colombia. Estos comerciantes han reportado una abrupta disminución en sus ventas que ha venido impactando la economía regional, nacional e internacional, dada su posición geográfica en la zona fronteriza con Venezuela. Tal determinación se basó en la evaluación de cinco elementos clave derivados de esta cultura, a saber, incentivar la generación de nuevas ideas, motivación de los empleados, trasmisión de conocimientos y experiencias, introducción de nuevas tecnologías, e invertir, arriesgar y experimentar. Dicha evaluación se llevó a cabo mediante una encuesta diseñada y aplicada a una muestra de sesenta y tres (63) comerciantes de la zona. Los resultados arrojados permitieron detectar que un 39,6% de la muestra casi nunca introduce nuevas tecnologías y un 30% nunca desarrolla las actividades que involucran invertir, arriesgarse y experimentar, ambos elementos se ubicaron en un nivel bajo y muy bajo, respectivamente dentro del baremo de categorización de los estadísticos de la variable. En consecuencia, se concluye que la falta de implementación de estos elementos, propios de la cultura de innovación y que caracteriza a las organizaciones más competitivas en la actualidad, representa una de las causas que frena la capacidad productiva de estos comerciantes e impide incrementar las ventas en este contexto limítrofe.
Thomson on Goodness
Authors: Lenman James 
Published: July 2018

Judith Jarvis Thomson has written extensively on what is usually (though she does not seem much to care for the word) known as ‘metaethics’. Notably in the Thomson half of Harman and Thomson’s 1996 Moral Knowledge and Moral Objectivity, the 1997 Journal of Philosophy paper “The Right and the Good”, and her Tanner Lectures in Goodness and Advice published in 2003. Thomson thinks there is no such thing as being good simpliciter. There is only what she sometimes talks of as being good in a way or being good in some respect. A thing can be good at stuff, good at football or baking or whatever. This critical note analyses what is at stake in Thomson's approach. Keywords: Metaethics, Judith Thomson, Consequentialism, Moral good
Structural and magnetic properties of Co(II) complexes with tridentate ONO pincer-type ligands
Authors: Chrenková Veronika , Valigura Dušan 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Pincer type ligand 2,6-pyridinedimethanol was used as a useful tool in the preparation of the Co(II) pseudoctahedral complex together with 3,5-dinitrobenzoate counteranion. New complex of the composition [Co(pydm)2](3,5-dnbz)2(pydm = 2,6-pyridinedimethanol, and 3,5-dnbz = 3,5-dinitrobenzoate anion) has been prepared and characterized. Its XRD structure revealed pseudooctahedral {CoN2O4} chromophore around the cobalt atom with Co-N distances significantly shorter (Co-Nav = 2.038 Ǻ) in comparison to the Co-O ones (Co-Oav = 2.142 Ǻ), which was probably the reason of its relatively high zero-field splitting parameter (D/hc = 43.6 cm-1). Positive value of the D parameter causes slow relaxation process typical for Co(II) SMM behavior. The 3,5-dinitrobenzoate counteranions are strongly bonded to the [Co(pydm)2] cation via rather strong hydrogen bonds (O∙∙∙Oav = 2.568 Ǻ) forming “quasi molecular” units. Solid state structure allowed different π-π stacking interactions of neighboring “molecular” unit aromatic rings probally leading to observation of the additional relaxation mode.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent pollutants, harmful to human health, which enter the human body mainly through food and bind to body fat. For these reasons their use in most countries is prohibited. Human milk has an advantage over other types of human samples in measuring human exposure to PCBs, as it is obtained with non-invasive sampling methods. In Europe, including Croatia, PCB levels have been monitored for many years. This review summarises PCB trends in human milk across Europe. The trend is generally downward, with higher levels prevailing in urban areas near industrial plants. The highest PCB levels were reported in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abstract

The aim of the psycholexical study was to classify the terms describing individual differences in the Ukrainian language.

Method. To accomplish this objective, we analysed 220,000 entries included in a universal dictionary of Ukrainian and identified 20,024 terms – adjectives, participles, type-nouns, and attribute-nouns – used to describe human characteristics. The identified person-descriptive terms were classified by a team of five trained judges into 13 categories and subcategories. The judges’ taxonomic decisions were tested for validity and interjudge agreement.

Results. This procedure yielded lists of Ukrainian personality descriptors, consisting, respectively, of 2,426 adjectives, 2,255 participles, 1,653 attribute-nouns, and 1,474 type-nouns. The analysis of semantic redundancy of terms representing different parts of speech but having the same common morpheme among dispositional descriptors identified a total of 1,634 morphemes that differed in terms of meaning. The analysis identified 212 (22.0% of morphemes) type-nouns that could not be replaced by any different part of speech with the same morpheme to describe the same personality trait.

Conclusions. Ukrainian personality lexicon has a comparable or higher diversity of personality-descriptive vocabulary, attested to by the presence of 96% Big Factors markers from international comparative analyses of psycholexical structures of natural languages. The results of the study contribute to the debate on universals in the description of individual differences and constitute the basis for future questionnaire-based studies aimed at identifying the psycholexical structure of the Ukrainian language.

Summary

Background
Oxysterols have been shown to play a role in plaque formation while ischemia modified albumin (IMA) is widely accepted as an acute marker for ischemia. The effort test is one of the methods used to identify the presence of coronary artery disease. Thus, there may be a relationship between effort test result and the levels of IMA, 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC) and cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol (C-triol).

Methods
Thirty patients who underwent effort test and 30 healthy subjects were included in the study. IMA levels were determined with the albumin-cobalt binding test, 7-KC and C-triol levels were determined with LC-MS/MS. Among the patients, two subgroups were identified according to the results of the effort test, group 1 consisted of patients with a positive effort test (n = 12), and group 2 consisted of patients who had a negative effort test (n = 18).

Results
7-KC levels of patients were significantly higher compared to healthy subjects (39.87 ± 2.13 ng/mL, 20.26 ± 1.35 ng/mL; p=0.001). In patients, post-test 7-KC levels were significantly lower than pre-test levels (post-test vs. pre-test: 37.73 ± 2.44 ng/mL vs. 41.07 ± 2.18 ng/mL; p<0.001). There was a significant difference in post-test 7-KC levels among all study groups (negative, positive and healthy: 37.73 ± 2.44 ng/mL, 39.87 ± 2.13 ng/mL, 20.26 ± 1.35 ng/mL, respectively). There was no significant difference in IMA levels.

Conclusions
Patients with positive effort test had significantly higher levels of 7-KC. Additionally, after the effort test, the 7-KC value was reduced. 7-KC is a biomarker of oxidative damage and its value or changes before and after the effort test may be used as a biomarker in the diagnosis and follow-up of coronary artery disease.

One ofnon-pharmacological therapies aimed at reducing the pain is deep breath relaxation techniques and autogenic relaxation. Autogenic relaxation techniques provide a calming effect on the body and mind, relaxation and deep breathing is a form of nursing care to relaxing body.Method: This study was a quasy experiment with non-randomized design with a pretest-post test control group design. The treatment was deep breathing relaxation techniques and autogenic. Analysis of the data was paired T-test. Results:Average pain response from a group of pre-relaxation breath is 5.57, and the average pain response of the mother after relaxation breath is 4.43. There is a reduction in pain after the relaxation response in the airway at 1:14. No statistically significant difference between the average pain response before the deep breathing relaxation intervention. In the group of mothers with autogenic relaxation obtained average the pain response before intervention is 5.57, and pain response after intervention autogenic relaxation is 3.67. There is a decrease in pain response after intervention with the average reduction was 1.9. No statistically significant difference between the average pain response before had the intervention autogenic relaxation. There was differences in the mean difference in pain response were significant between the groups of women with deep breathing relaxation treatment and with autogenic relaxation, where the pain response scores (1.143) in the group of mothers with deep breathing relaxation lower than the pain response scores (1.905) in the group of mothers with autogenic relaxation. Discussion: Deep breathing relaxation and autogenic relaxation decrease the pain response on post caesarean section women. They were significants average pain response between treated mother by deep breath relaxation and autogenic relaxation. Keywords: autogenic relaxation techniques, deep breathing relaxation techniques

This research is aimed to examine the difference and the influence of social support score and the quality of life postpartum mothers by home visit 1, 2, and 3. Method: This research employs cross sectional design with longitudinal repeated measure design. The sample of this research was postpartum mothers that give birth in the village of Sukodono subdistrict area from 3 to 40 days. The sample is selected by purposive sampling. Results: There is no significant difference of mean between husband's, parents', parents-in-law's, and relative's support (p > 0.05). There is no significant difference between the quality of life postpartum mother (p > 0.05). The regression equality of social support to quality of life pospartum mother in K1, K2, and K3 were 0,157 + 0.702*husband's support, 0.099 + 0.370*husband's support – 0.674*relative's support, and 0,123+0,0674*husband's support-0,633*relative's support, respectively. Discussion. Husband's support increase quality of life pospartum mother. This is suggested to plan education in-service about the important of social support after giving birth for midwife or nurse that has role to service the mothers. Giving the education of postpartum preparation is not only for the mothers, but also for their husband. Keywords: relative's support, quality of life, postpartum

Published: July 2018

Deaf people all around the world face difficulty to communicate with the others. Hence, they use their own language to communicate with each other. On the other hand, it is difficult for deaf people to get used to technological services such as websites, television, mobile applications, and so on. This project aims to design a prototype system for deaf people to help them to communicate with other people and computers without relying on human interpreters. The proposed system is for letter-based Kurdish Sign Language (KuSL) which has not been introduced before. The system would be a real-time system that takes actions immediately after detecting hand gestures. Three algorithms for detecting KuSL have been implemented and tested, two of them are well-known methods that have been implemented and tested by other researchers, and the third one has been introduced in this paper for the 1st time. The new algorithm is named Gridbased gesture descriptor. It turned out to be the best method for the recognition of Kurdish hand signs. Furthermore, the result of the algorithm was 67% accuracy of detecting hand gestures. Finally, the other well-known algorithms are named scale invariant feature transform and speeded-up robust features, and they responded with 42% of accuracy.
Perbandingan Legenda <em>Ciung Wanara</em> dengan <em>Cindelaras</em> serta Kajian Budaya Lokal
Authors: Rahman Fauzi 
Published: July 2018

This research aims to compare the story of Ciung Wanara (West Java) and Cindelaras (East Java). In addition to comparing the two stories, this study also explores the cultural values contained in each story. The research applies a qualitative method with comparison technique and content analysis. A comparative study uses an analysis of one literature with another, or comparing literature with other field of art. The result of the research shows that, despite being similar, the cultural background causes the two stories to have differences. A folktale has a cultural tradition inherent to the habit undertaken by the society in which the story develops. In the Ciung Wanara story, there is a tradition of cockfights, naming babies based on natural events, and belief in mythology. While in the story of Cindelaras, besides having the same things, we also find the representation of culture, especially the image of the king’s mistress as instead of the queen.

Este artículo presenta los resultados de comparación del rendimiento de los comandos Insert, Select, Delete de estos dos motores de bases de datos. Si bien la sintaxis de codificación de uno y otro gestor es similar, se tiende a pensar erróneamente que ocurre lo mismo con los resultado de ejecución de las sentesias mencionadas. Por esto, con este documento se demuestra cuál de estos dos motores de bases de datos es más eficiente al ejecutar cada uno de los comandos mencionados. Se implementó un esquema de base de datos y se incluyeron varios registros con el comando Insert, para luego llevar a cabo procesos con los comandos Select y Delect. Los resultados obtenidos se presentan de forma gráfica, en cuadros comparativos que evidencian qué motor de base de datos es mejor para cada comando ejecutado con cierta cantidad de información, o, en su defecto, si el resultado obetnido en ambos motores de bases de datos es el mismo.
A Comparative Study on the Behavior of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames with Different Bracing Systems Based on a Response-Based Damage Index
Authors: Karsaz Kamran , Razavi Tosee Seyed Vahid 
Published: July 2018

Seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings is one of the most effective ways to reduce damages under destructive earthquakes. The use of bracings is one of techniques for seismic rehabilitation of steel structures. In this study we aimed to investigate the seismic performance of three 5, 10 and 15-storey steel structures with moment-resisting frames designed three dimensionally in ETABS 2015 application based on first edition of Iranian Standard 2800. Their damage under five ground motions was evaluated using response-based damage model proposed by Ghobara et al. (1999). Then, the structures were rehabilitated with different bracing systems (X, eccentric and concentric V and inverted-V) and, again, their damage under five earthquakes were evaluated and compared with those of moment resisting frames. The pushover analysis results indicated that X-braced frame was the least ductile system but had highest initial stiffness and yield stress. In low-rise building, X-braced frames showed better performance among studied bracing systems compared to moment resisting frames, while mid and high-rise buildings with eccentrically braced frame (EBF) showed the best behavior against earthquakes with the least damage. Moreover, it was found out that EBFs’ performance increases by increasing storey height, but for concentrically braced frames (CBFs) it was decreased. We concluded that the use of response-based damage models can be a suitable procedure for estimating the vulnerability of steel structures rehabilitated with bracing system.
