Der NS-Funktionär und seine private Bibliothek
Authors: Flauaus Charlet 
Published: May 2018

Zusammenfassung
Martin Bormanns Privatbibliothek, die zu großen Teilen in den Anfangsbestand der Bibliothek der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz bei deren Neugründung im Jahre 1946 einging, hält keine größeren Überraschungen hinsichtlich der Interessen des ehemaligen NS-Funktionärs bereit. Zahlenmäßig überwiegen Titel zum Thema „Kirche/Jesuitenorden“, Literatur nationalsozialistischer Autoren und deren Vordenker, aus den Bereichen Geschichte und Militär. Bormann war erwiesenermaßen involviert in den Bücherraub der Nazis. Privat scheint er sich allerdings nicht an beschlagnahmtem und zwangsverkauftem Besitz bereichert zu haben.
Nonsyndromic extremely premature eruption of teeth in preterm neonates – a report of three cases and a review of the literature
Authors: Merglova Vlasta 
Published: May 2018

Abstract

Objective
Preterm birth is connected to a delay in the development and eruption of primary teeth. The aim of the study is to present clinical findings, complications and management of prematurely erupted primary teeth.

Subjects
Three premature neonates with prematurely erupted teeth were examined during a 3-year period. The gender, gestational age, birthweight, mode of delivery and general health status were recorded. The literature search was conducted using several databases.

Results
The intraoral examination of three premature neonates revealed the presence of partially erupted lower central incisors. All teeth erupted between 4 and 6 weeks after preterm birth and were extracted due to their hypermobility. Two retrospective studies and 10 case reports concerning preterm infants with natal or neonatal teeth were found.

Conclusion
Careful examination of preterm infants with natal or neonatal teeth is very important not only for a treatment decision but also for the possible presence of syndromic conditions.

Abstract
In this work, 4,4ʹ-hexafluoroisopropiliden anhydride diftalic (6FDA) and 4,4ʹ-hexafluoropropiliden bis(p-phenilenoxi) dianiline (6FPA) polyimides were synthesized by two step polycondensation. The polyimides were utilized in the dense membrane formation by casting solution method. The membranes were cross–linked by immersion in a 1,5-pentadiamine in methanol solution prepared at different concentrations. The fraction of insoluble mass indicates the cross-linking degree, which varies from 0 to 1. In the other hand, the fractional free volume (FFV) calculated from Bondi theory decreases as the cross-linking degree increases in the membrane. The membranes were tested in the permeation of pure H2, CO2, N2 and CH4 gases. The results exhibited that permeability of the cross-linked membranes increases compared to the uncross-linked membrane. In the other hand, gas permselectivity data where located in the Robeson´s diagram being near to upper limit for the H2/CO2 pair of gases. The membranes are good candidates to carry out the low molecular weight’s gas separation.
Creative linguistic impoliteness as aggression in Stanley Kubrick’sFull Metal Jacket
Authors: Bousfield Derek , McIntyre Dan 
Published: May 2018

AbstractStanley Kubrick’s anti-war filmFull Metal Jacket(1987) dramatically represents US Marine Corps basic training during the Vietnam War as both gruelling and brutalising. The brutal, linguistically aggressive and physically intimidating scenes purport to detail the dehumanising process that Marine Corps recruits were put through in preparation for combat during that period. In the film, the recruits are trained by Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, played by the actor R. Lee Ermey, who is himself an ex-Marine Corps drill instructor (1965–1967) and who also served in Vietnam in 1968. As a result of his experience as an instructor, Ermey was given free rein by Kubrick to write his own dialogue for the abusive barrack room and field training scenes in order to lend the drama an air of authenticity (see Ermey 2017). Within the fictional world of the film, the intense training and disciplinary regime ultimately causes one recruit, Private Leonard Lawrence, to crack psychologically. Private Lawrence is nicknamed ‘Gomer Pyle’ by Hartman upon their first meeting, this name being a direct allusion to the hapless character of the same name who was a US Marine recruit in the sitcomGomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., which ran from 1964–1969 – contemporaneously with the time period in whichFull Metal Jacketis set. This insulting allusion is merely the start of a long line of linguistically impolite/aggressive and ultimately physically aggressive interactions which Lawrence/Pyle suffers at the hands of Hartman, both directly and, later in the film as a result of Hartman’s orchestrations, from the other recruits. Under this unrelenting barrage of impoliteness, aggression, and abuse, Lawrence/Pyle eventually shoots Hartman dead before turning his rifle on himself and committing suicide. Thus, the film argues that the dehumanising effect of the basic training, which was ostensibly carried out to toughen up and mentally prepare conscripted recruits for combat in Vietnam, had a profound, brutalising and (potentially) utterly destructive effect on those subjected to it. In this article, we explore the creative linguistic aggression displayed by the character of Hartman. We focus particularly on the reasons underlying the creativity of Hartman’s impoliteness and aggression, and argue that these are essentially to foreground the seriousness of the training regime which the recruits must follow.

Abstract
The quality of a product in manufacturing is appraised by dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Among many factors that influence these two aspects cutting fluids stimulate the quality of machined surfaces by improving machining performance. Before they are applied to machining, it is essential to assess the viability of the cutting fluids. This is done by evaluating their basic properties. This paper is an attempt to evaluate thermophysical properties of vegetable oil–based nanocutting fluids in view of ecofriendly machining with a focus on enhanced machining performance. In view of this aspect, carbon nanotubes (CnT) and nanoboric acid (nBA) nanoparticles with variation in percentage of nanoparticle inclusions (NPI) are dispersed in coconut oil. The nanocutting fluids thus formulated are tested for density, dynamic viscosity, and thermal conductivity. Specific heat and heat transfer coefficient are evaluated using empirical relations. It is observed that density, thermal conductivity, and dynamic viscosity increased with increase in NPI for CnT- and nBA-dispersed nanocutting fluids. Viscosity is found to decreasze with increase in temperature for both the types of nanocutting fluids. Specific heat increased slightly with increase in NPI from 0 % to 1.25 % for CnT-dispersed fluids, whereas a slight decrease was observed for nBA-dispersed fluids. Heat transfer coefficient has increased with increase in NPI for CnT-based fluids. Fluids dispersed with nBA exhibited an increase followed by a decrease in heat transfer coefficient with increase in NPI. On the whole, it is discerned that for CnT-dispersed coconut oil–based cutting fluids, basic properties are much better than those of their nBA counterparts.
Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein-aa Regulates Photoreceptor Synaptic Development to Mediate Visually Guided Behavior

To guide behavior, sensory systems detect the onset and offset of stimuli and process these distinct inputs via parallel pathways. In the retina, this strategy is implemented by splitting neural signals for light onset and offset via synapses connecting photoreceptors to ON and OFF bipolar cells, respectively. It remains poorly understood which molecular cues establish the architecture of this synaptic configuration to split light-onset and light-offset signals. A mutant with reduced synapses between photoreceptors and one bipolar cell type, but not the other, could reveal a critical cue. From this approach, we report a novel synaptic role forpregnancy-associated plasma protein aa(pappaa) in promoting the structure and function of cone synapses that transmit light-offset information. Electrophysiological and behavioral analyses indicatedpappaamutant zebrafish have dysfunctional cone-to-OFF bipolar cell synapses and impaired responses to light offset, but intact cone-to-ON bipolar cell synapses and light-onset responses. Ultrastructural analyses ofpappaamutant cones showed a lack of presynaptic domains at synapses with OFF bipolar cells.pappaais expressed postsynaptically to the cones during retinal synaptogenesis and encodes a secreted metalloprotease known to stimulate insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling. Induction of dominant-negative IGF1 receptor expression during synaptogenesis reduced light-offset responses. Conversely, stimulating IGF1 signaling at this time improvedpappaamutants' light-offset responses and cone presynaptic structures. Together, our results indicate Pappaa-regulated IGF1 signaling as a novel pathway that establishes how cone synapses convey light-offset signals to guide behavior.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDistinct sensory inputs, like stimulus onset and offset, are often split at distinct synapses into parallel circuits for processing. In the retina, photoreceptors and ON and OFF bipolar cells form discrete synapses to split neural signals coding light onset and offset, respectively. The molecular cues that establish this synaptic configuration to specifically convey light onset or offset remain unclear. Our work reveals a novel cue:pregnancy-associated plasma protein aa(pappaa), which regulates photoreceptor synaptic structure and function to specifically transmit light-offset information. Pappaa is a metalloprotease that stimulates local insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling. IGF1 promotes various aspects of synaptic development and function and is broadly expressed, thus requiring local regulators, like Pappaa, to govern its specificity.

ObjectiveRisk factors are widely used to identify women at risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) without clear distinction by pregnancy period or oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) time points. We aimed to assess the clinical risk factors for Hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HiP) differentiating by these two aspects.Design and methodsNine hundred seventy-one overweight/obese pregnant women, enrolled in the DALI study for preventing GDM. OGTTs were performed at ≤19 + 6, 24–28 and 35–37 weeks (IADPSG/WHO2013 criteria). Women with GDM or overt diabetes at one time point did not proceed to further OGTTs. Potential independent variables included baseline maternal and current pregnancy characteristics. Statistical analysis: Multivariate logistic regression.ResultsClinical characteristics independently associated with GDM/overt diabetes were at ≤19 + 6 weeks, previous abnormal glucose tolerance (odds ratio (OR): 3.11; 95% CI: 1.41–6.85), previous GDM (OR: 2.22; 95% CI: 1.20–4.11), neck circumference (NC) (OR: 1.58; 95% CI: 1.06–2.36 for the upper tertile), resting heart rate (RHR, OR: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.31–3.00 for the upper tertile) and recruitment site; at 24–28 weeks, previous stillbirth (OR: 2.92; 95% CI: 1.18-7.22), RHR (OR: 3.32; 95% CI: 1.70-6.49 for the upper tertile) and recruitment site; at 35–37 weeks, maternal height (OR: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.20–0.87 for upper tertile). Clinical characteristics independently associated with GDM/overt diabetes differed by OGTT time point (e.g. at ≤19 + 6 weeks, NC was associated with abnormal fasting but not postchallenge glucose).ConclusionIn this population, most clinical characteristics associated with GDM/overt diabetes were non-modifiable and differed by pregnancy period and OGTT time point. The identified risk factors can help define the target population for future intervention trials.

Abstract

Objectives
This study was conducted to: 1) describe sleep duration, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and occupational errors among Thai nurses and 2) explore the influence of sleep duration on fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and occupational errors.

Methods
A cross-sectional design was implemented. A convenience sample of 233 full-time nurses with at least one year of work experience was recruited to participate in the study. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires and 1-week sleep diaries. Descriptive and logistic regression statistics were performed using SPSS software.

Results
The mean total sleep time was 6.2 hours. Of the total participants, 75.9% (n = 167) experienced short sleep duration, 38.2% (n=84) experienced fatigue, and 49.5% (n=109) experienced excessive daytime sleepiness. Occupational errors were reported by 11.7% (n= 25). Medication errors, incorrectly performed procedures, and needle stick injuries were reported by 6.5% (n=13), 5.6% (n=12), and 4.7% (n=10), respectively, of participants performing the associated activities. The “Short Sleep Duration” group experienced more fatigue (p =.044) and excessive daytime sleepiness (p=.001) compared with the “Adequate Sleep Duration” group. Although occupational errors were more common in the “Short Sleep Duration” group, the difference between the two groups did not reach the level of statistical significance. Multivariable logistic regression analysis found that short sleep duration was a statistically significant risk factor for excessive daytime sleepiness (OR=2.47, 95% CI=1.18-5.19).

Conclusions
The majority of registered nurses experience short sleep duration. Short sleep duration increased the risk of excessive daytime sleepiness but not fatigue or occupational errors. Adequate night-time sleep is paramount for preventing daytime sleepi-ness and achieving optimal work performance.
Cross Sectional Study of The Pattern of Abnormalities in The Knee Joint Detected by Knee MRI in Patients Evaluated at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from April–August 2017

Introduction: The knee joint, the largest joint in the body, has several functions which are essential for human beings to walk, run and jump. Primarily, it enables flexion-extension of the lower limb in the sagittal plane. Joint stability during movement is attained by the shape of the articular surfaces, the collateral and cruciate ligaments, the menisci and tendons and muscles crossing the knee joint. (1) The vulnerability of the knee, the largest joint in the body, to direct trauma makes knee injuries very common throughout life. (2)
MRI visualizes most components of the knee joint, including articular cartilage, menisci, intra-articular ligaments, synovium, bone marrow, subchondral cysts, and other periarticular and intra-articular lesions that are not detectable by radiography. (4).
The prevalence of abnormalities of these different joint components as detected by MRI has been studied in different centers. Such types of studies, to date, have not been done in our country to our knowledge. The aim of this paper is to study prevalence of these abnormalities in the knee joint detected by knee MRI.
Objective: To assess the prevalence of abnormalities in the knee joint detected by knee MRI.
Methods: Hospital based prospective cross sectional study was conducted on 49 patients who had knee MRI at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital in a period of 7 months from January 1 to August 2016. Patients included here are those who had knee MRI and no history of knee surgery.
Results: A total of 49 patients were included in the study out of which 26(53.1%) were male and 23 (46.9%) were female, with a mean age of 43 years (range 17 to 68 years). The three most common pathologies were joint effusion seen in 32(65.3%), bone marrow edema in 22(45.8%) and osteophytes in 22(44.9%). ACL tear was the commonest ligament abnormality occurring in 5 (10.4%) patients. Ten (20.8%) patients had meniscal tear, all involving the medial meniscus with the posterior horn being involved in 8(80%) of these patients.
Conclusion: The mean age of our study population was higher than most referenced papers suggestive for possible delayed health seeking. The commonest knee pathologies were similar to other studies. Features of osteoarthritis were seen in higher frequency in our study population. Even though the higher mean age could be the possible cause, further study is recommended to look into the causes. Abnormalities which were seen with higher frequency in those with a history of trauma were also seen in higher frequency in the male population.

Authors: Boda Michał , Ciukaj Radosław 
Published: May 2018

The first cryptographic currency (Bitcoin) was created in 2009. Since then, cryptocurrencies have undergone dynamic development, and their user numbers risen apace. This article analyses and estimates the impact, development and growth of cryptographic currencies on the stability and functioning of financial systems. The paper also examines whether cryptocurrencies fulfill the basic functions of money. The first part addresses technical and legal issues of cryptographic currencies. The second performs a statistical analysis and impact assessment on public finances, banking sector as well as individual users have been performed. Bitcoin quotes are compared to other traditional financial instruments including rate of return, coefficient of variation, range, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The analyses which have been conducted lead to the conclusion that cryptocurrencies cannot be treated equally with money (they are treated more as investment assets), they are far more volatile than traditional financial instruments, and there is a significant similarity between cryptographic currencies and pyramid schemes.
Producers' Optima in Schumpeterian Evolution
Authors: Kornafel Marta , Denkowska Anna 
Published: May 2018

The paper presents a production system in the Debreu model of general equilibrium. According to Schumpeter, economic development is possible only on the strength of innovations being introduced. This process provides a sequence of optimal production plans, corresponding to each stage of the innovative evolution. The paper characterises the sequence of optimal plans and provides the conditions for its convergence. Moreover, the limiting production plan is shown to be the producer’s optimum in the final state.
Dobór modelu a obciążenie szacunku na przykładzie estymatora GREG w badaniu małych przedsiębiorstw
Authors: Dehnel Grażyna 
Published: May 2018

Estimation for a very skewed population containing extreme values is problematic, especially at a low level of aggregation. Traditional direct estimation methods do not provide satisfactory results. The growing demand for detailed information and the wider possibility of using data from administration registers has increased the importance of recognising more sophisticated estimation methods. Generalised Regression (GREG) estimation is an example of one such type. The paper examines the importance of the model chosen in GREG estimation in dealing with highly variable and outlier-prone populations. The model-assisted GREG estimator is applied to a real business survey. Lagged variables from administrative registers were used as the auxiliary variables. The variable of interest – mean revenue of small companies – was estimated for provinces cross-classified by categories of economic activity.

Published: May 2018

Fiscal consolidation is based on efforts to balance revenues and expenditures on the public budget. This can be achieved by reducing public spending or increasing taxes. Fiscal consolidation has very important macroeconomic consequences in both the long and short term. The aim of this article is to find patterns of fiscal consolidation in EU countries. To detect patterns of the fiscal consolidation, multivariate statistical analysis methods were applied: correspondence and cluster analysis. The macroeconomic effects of fiscal consolidation were also analysed. The study used data from Eurostat.

Published: May 2018

Bankruptcy is a characteristic of every developed market economy. Numerous attempts have been made to predict it. One way this has been done in research is by building models which are based on the characteristics of the industry companies operate in. Due to the difficulty of gathering a large enough research sample, Polish researchers rarely try to build models for certain industries. This article reviews the empirical research related to this issue. The first aim of empirical research is to compare prediction errors of both industry and general models. The second was to define the determinants of joint-stock company bankruptcy in particular industries. Empirical studies were conducted on 180 joint-stock companies in the Polish capital market. Calculations were performed using the bootstrapping method and multivariate discriminant analysis.
