The fifth element? Using the tradition of knowledge and education in Hip Hop to transform classroom outcomes
Authors: Meacham Shuaib , Muhammad Lamont , Mennenga Kerri 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This article is a conceptual exploration of Hip Hop culture as a pedagogical resource, not only for students of colour, but for all students who may be disengaged from traditional approaches to teaching and learning. This article explores the idea of Hip Hop as a ‘double-voiced’ practice, a practice that speaks to mainstream educational competencies while articulating dispositions and perspectives drawn from vernacular cultural experiences. Examples of this practice examined the educational preparation of a Black male pre-service teacher and a White female teacher seeking ways to better connect with her Black students. In both cases, Hip Hop provides pedagogical resources which speak to identity and educational possibility which transformed the educational experiences of both individuals.

‘You Can Never Kill Me’: Racism and resilience in Hip Hop
Authors: Chaney Cassandra 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Focusing on two aspects of the experience of African Americans – racism and resilience – this article explores themes in fourteen Hip Hop songs published between 1989 and 2016, selected from the website, Ranker. This website provides a forum for users to share, discuss and vote on Hip Hop songs that relate to racism. A content analysis of the song lyrics reveals three themes related to racism: (1) law enforcement, (2) penal system and (3) poverty. African Americans are resilient in three ways: through racial pride, racial harmony and through a resolve to remain strong. Hip Hop artists encourage resilience through resistance in the form of political activism, through acknowledging individual and collective worth and by envisioning (and working towards) racial harmony.

The autoimmune polyglandular syndrome of adults (APS) is characterized by the damage of two and more endocrine glands leading more often to development of their hormonal insufficiency. The basis of most autoimmune endocrine diseases is lymphoid and macrophage infiltration of the target organ. Often in patients with one autoimmune disease, other components of the APS appear after a some time of latent period. Besides defeat organs of endocrine system which are including to the APS also not endocrine organs can be part of autoimmune defeat. Although defeat of cardiovascular system is not included in the structure of the APS, in some clinical cases development of damage of a myocardium in the absence of clinically shown damage of heart against the background of the combined autoimmune endocrine pathology is described. The saved-up clinical this development of damage of a myocardium on the background of autoimmune endocrine insufficiency and also laboratory and instrumental methods of diagnostics is presented in the review at this state. The most promising diagnostic methods for this condition are the determination of autoantibodies to myocardial components and magnetic resonance imaging of the heart. In clinical practice, it is possible to widely use the definition of antibodies to myocardium by indirect immunofluorescence, as well as using standardized immunoenzyme test systems.The saved-up clinical this development of damage of a myocardium on the background of autoimmune endocrine insufficiency and also laboratory and instrumental methods of diagnostics is presented in the review at this state.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
Waterproof breathable laminated fabrics have the special property that permits water vapour to pass through but protects by preventing the entrance of liquid water. Different characteristic properties of the layered constructions of these fabrics have good influence on their hydrostatic resistance and mechanical performance. This research study presents an experiment to enhance the hydrostatic resistance and tensile strength of four different types of hydrophobic membrane laminated waterproof fabrics by considering their breathability as well. For this purpose, water repellent coating based on C6-fluorocarbon resin along with polysiloxane hydrophobic softening agent was applied on these four different types of laminated fabrics using pad-dry-cure method. The coated fabrics were characterised by performing different experiments to evaluate the effect of coating on their hydrostatic resistance and mechanical property as well as on water vapour permeability and air permeability. From the test results and analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was found that hydrostatic resistance and tensile strength of the laminated fabrics were enhanced after coating along with proper water repellent property, whereas there were no significant changes in their water vapour permeability and air permeability.
Hyper-Heuristic Approach for Improving Marker Efficiency
Authors: Domović Daniel , Rolich Tomislav , Golub Marin 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Marker planning is an optimization arrangement problem, where a set of cutting parts need to be placed on a thin paper without overlapping to create a marker – an exact diagram of cutting parts that will be cut from a single spread. An optimal marker that utilizes the length of textile material has to be obtained. The aim of this research was to develop novel algorithms for obtaining an efficient marker that would achieve competitive results and optimize the garment production in terms of improving the utilization of textile material. In this research, a novel Grid heuristic was introduced for obtaining a marker, alongside its improvement methods: Grid-BLP and Grid-Shaking. These heuristics were hybridized with genetic algorithm that determined the placement order of cutting parts using the newly introduced All Equal First (AEF) placement order. A novel individual representation for genetic algorithm was designed that was composed of order sequence, rotation detection and the choice of placement algorithm (hyper-heuristic). Experiments were conducted to determine the best marker making method, and hyper-heuristic efficiency. The implementation and experiments were conducted in MATLAB using GEATbx toolbox on five datasets from the garment industry: ALBANO, DAGLI, MAO, MARQUES and MAN SHIRT. Marker efficiency in percentage was recorded with best results: 84.50%, 80.13%, 79.54%, 84.67% and 86.02% obtained for the datasets respectively. The most efficient heuristic was Grid-Shaking. Hyper-heuristic applied Grid-Shaking in 88% of times. The created algorithm is independent of cutting parts’ shape. It can produce markers of arbitrary shape and is flexible in terms of expansion to new instances from the garment industry (leather nesting, avoiding damaged areas of material, marker making with materials with patterns).
Chromium removal from industrial wastewater using Phyllostachys pubescens biomass loaded Cu-S nanospheres
Authors: Ai Tian , Jiang Xiaojun , Liu Qingyu 
Published: August 2018

AbstractIn this paper, a new surface modification method was reported for the preparation of Phyllostachys pubescens powder as an effective adsorbent for the removal of chromium. Complex copper sulfide (Cu-S)nanospheres were evenly dispersed and loaded into the internal surface of the adsorbent, which provided both the ion exchange and oxidative-reductive properties. The composite showed an excellent adsorption efficacy for Cr(III) and Cr(VI). The surface properties of the obtained materials were characterized by FTIR and SEM. Maximum adsorption for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) was observed at pH 6.1 and 1.9, respectively. The experimental sorption equilibrium data were modeled using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations. It was found that the maximum adsorption capacities of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were 52.30 mg g-1 and 94.25 mg g-1, respectively. The adsorption mechanism analysis inferred that the major adsorption mode of Cr(III) was ion exchange, and Cr(VI) was oxide-reduction.

Abstract
During ship collision, hull crashworthiness is an important data which needs to be assessed as rapid development of hull structure has taken into consideration since several notable dangerous events. After catastrophic accidents cause both tragic loss of life and destruction of maritime environment, double skin system is applied for almost all ships, including RoRo passengers. This work aimed to assess effects of selected internal parameters to crashworthiness criteria, considering a passenger vessel as the target of a series of impact loads. A set of collision scenario was numerically designed using finite element (FE) method by involving single and double skin structures, target location and material grade to obtained estimation of hull crashworthiness. Assessment was focussed on the energy absorption, crushing force, stress level and failure strain of the target ship after experiencing side collisions. It was obtained from the analyses regarding role of the inner skin on tendency of the energy absorption. Failure progress on the proposed structures was successfully quantified based on stress expansion. Minimum value of material strength was concluded in final discussion to reduce more massive failure.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
Following an ordered clinical chemistry plasma/serum test, ideally the venous blood specimen is adequately collected at a health care facility, then swiftly transported to and readily handled, analyzed and sometimes interpreted at a clinical chemistry laboratory followed by a report of the test result to the ordering physician to finally handle the result. However, often there are practical as well as sample quality reasons for short- or long-term storage of samples before and after analysis. If there are specific storage needs, the preanalytical handling practices are specified in the laboratory’s specimen collection instructions for the ordered test analyte. Biobanking of specimens over a very long time prior to analysis includes an often neglected preanalytical challenge for preserved quality of the blood specimen and also involves administrative and additional practical handling aspects (specified in a standard operating procedure – SOP) when demands and considerations from academic, industry, research organizations and authorities are included. This short review highlights some preanalytical aspects of plasma/serum short- and long- term storage that must be considered by clinicians, laboratory staff as well as the researchers.
Il frammento gnoseologico di Eutidemo
Authors: Brancacci Aldo 
Published: August 2018

AbstractEuthydemus is included neither inDie Fragmente der Vorsokratikerby Diels–Kranz nor inSofisti. Testimonianze e frammentiby Untersteiner nor inEarly Greek Philosophyby Laks and Most. Likewise, the great twentieth century works on the Sophists do not give space to him, at best mentioning him briefly. Yet Euthydemus is the author of a fragment, which was quoted by Plato in hisCratylus, and on which again there is no modern study. This paper sets out to study this fragment in depth, to review and discuss the various translations, both existing and possible, to study the context of Plato’s quotation, to clarify the exact meaning and the theoretical scope of this important fragment, and lastly to place Euthydemus in the Protagorean tradition, of which he is a notable product.
Cuticles from Pennsylvanan Marattialean Fern“Pecopteris” Polypodioides(C. Presl in Sternberg) Němejc from Pilsen Basin (Czech Republic) and Sydney Coalfield (Canada)
Authors: Pšenička Josef , Zodrow Erwin L. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractPennsylvanian fossil-fern cuticles are notoriously difficult to extract, little can be found in the palaeobotanical literature, yet they can supply significant taxonomic/systematic, phytostratigragphic, and palaeoenvironment information. This is demonstrated for cuticles from “Pecopteris” polypodioides of the coal basins in the Czech Republic and Canada. “Pecopteris” polypodioides is a marattialean tree fern which was part of the peat-forming flora, growing in a wet environment. Due to this fact, cuticles are generally very thin, and we assume that their major function was to reduce the ability of fungal spores to germinate and bacterial to grow, thereby reducing the possibility of these agents to cause disease. The secondary function was to be a major barrier to water loss and reducing the wettability of pinnules.
Mapping War Geoheritage: Recognising Geomorphological Traces of War
Authors: Valjavec Mateja Breg , Zorn Matija , Ribeiro Daniela 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
In the topography of war landscapes the remains of war are found in the form of trenches, bombing craters and remnants of war infrastructure. Today war landscapes are “overlaid” by post-war “layers” of cultural landscapes. It requires non-invasive remote-sensing methods, e.g. time series of aerial photographs and high-resolution terrain models (LiDAR digital terrain model) to recognize these landscapes.
In the study area on Kras Plateau (SW Slovenia) over one hundred kilometres of World War I trenches are preserved in the NW part of the plateau (app. 72 km2) in the present-day topography and represent tangible war geoheritage. But much of these geoheritage was also lost in post-war periods, e.g. near the village of Vrtojba (SW Slovenia) where in 1917 over 12 km of World War I trenches existed, but a century later no traces of war are visible in the present-day topography. Almost two hundred World War I bomb craters also existed around the village that are also not existent in the topography any more. Many anthropo-geomorphological traces of war are thus preserved only virtually and present intangible war geoheritage.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
Bacterial infection and antibiotic resistance are major threats to human health and very few solutions are available to combat this eventuality. A growing number of studies indicate that cold (non-thermal) plasma treatment can be used to prevent or eliminate infection from bacteria, bacterial biofilms, fungi and viruses. Mechanistically, a cold plasma discharge is composed of high-energy electrons that generate short-lived reactive oxygen and nitrogen species which further react to form more stable compounds (NO2, H2O2, NH2Cl and others) depending on the gas mixture and plasma parameters. Cold plasma devices are being developed for medical applications including infection, cancer, plastic surgery applications and more. Thus, in this review we explore the potential utility of cold plasma as a non-antibiotic approach for treating post-surgical orthopedic infections.
Aberrant expression of hsa_circ_0025036 in lung adenocarcinoma and its potential roles in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis

Published: August 2018

Abstract
As the most common histological subtype of lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma remains a tremendous risk to public health, which requires ceaseless efforts to elucidate the potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified with emerging roles in tumorigenesis and development. Our preliminary work noticed that hsa_circ_0025036 was significantly upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues. However, its specific roles in lung adenocarcinoma remain unclear. The results in this study revealed that hsa_circ_0025036 existed as a circular form and was aberrantly upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues via quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Its expression level exhibited a close link with aggressive clinicopathological parameters including cancer differentiation, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. hsa_circ_0025036 knockdown significantly suppressed cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis in A549 and Calu-3 cells. Moreover, hsa_circ_0025036/miR-198/SHMT1&TGF-α axis was identified via bioinformatics analysis and Dual-Luciferase Reporter assays. miR-198 inhibitors reversed the function of hsa_circ_0025036 knockdown. hsa_circ_0025036 knockdown exerted similar effects with miR-198 upregulation on cell proliferation and apoptosis. In conclusion, we demonstrate that hsa_circ_0025036 regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis in lung adenocarcinoma cells probably via hsa_circ_0025036/miR-198/SHMT1&TGF-α axis. hsa_circ_0025036 may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma.
Public History in Japan
Authors: Okamoto Michihiro 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This article introduces the history of historiography, specifically public history in Japan in recent times. Although the use of the word public history has not a long history and there have been only a few books and projects with public history as their titles, it does not mean that public history has not attracted wide concerns in Japan. On the contrary, there have been plenty of histories for the public through museums, theaters, television and printing matters because of the high standard of education and literacy rate of the people since the modernization of Japan. In this sense, we can discuss optimistically the future of public history in Japan. However, we should notice the problems of history among the public in that it is often too entertaining and sometimes tends to be abused for arbitrary purposes.

On-line monitoring of cationic starch gelatinization and retrogradation by 1H NMR-relaxometry
Authors: Raunio Jenna , Nikolskaya Ekaterina , Hiltunen Yrjö 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The gelatinization of cationic starch during a heating-holding-cooling cycle in a batch cook was monitored by measuring 1H NMR spin-spin relaxation rates R2 on-line. The effect of storage time and temperature (8, 20 and 60 °C) on cationic starch retrogradation was also studied. Clear differences were measured between the gelatinization and retrogradation behavior of potato starch and cereal starches (wheat and barley). The potato starch gelatinized completely when cooked at 95 °C at normal pressure, whereas cereal starches gelatinized only partially. Partial gelatinization lead to rapid retrogradation upon cooling. For fully gelatinized starch, the beginning of retrogradation was slower and began at a lower temperature. NaCl and Na2SO4 did not have a significant impact on the gelatinization of wheat starch but did affect retrogradation. The results show that NMR-relaxometry is suitable for following starch gelatinization on-line from a batch cook and that it can be used to determine whether gelatinization is complete. This technique can thus be a useful tool in paper mills for the on-line quality control of starch solutions.
Elemental zinc to zinc nanoparticles: is ZnO NPs crucial for life? Synthesis, toxicological, and environmental concerns
Authors: Ali Attarad , Phull Abdul-Rehman , Zia Muhammad 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The semi-conducting material zinc is one of the essential trace elements for humans, is a co-factor of more than 300 enzymes, and plays an important role in maintaining vital cellular functions. Deficiency of zinc may lead to cancer initiation; however, a high concentration also has toxic effects that might be life threatening. The toxicity can be addressed by the disequilibrium of zinc-mediated proteins and oxidative stress that produce nascent oxygen, hydroxyl radicals, and other reactive oxygen species. Zinc-based nanoparticles (NPs) are among the most important and multifunctional compounds. Zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs exhibit attractive antimicrobial and photocatalytic properties due to the smaller particle size and increased particle surface reactivity. Further, these are more biocompatible compared to other metallic NPs, easily synthesizable, and have high selectivity, enhanced cytotoxicity, and are a promising anticancer agent. However, some of the pertinent concerns regarding nano-zinc still needs to be clarified. Current research also demonstrates their usage in wastewater treatment, textile, medicine, etc. This review covers the importance of zinc for living systems and its NPs, with more emphasis on ZnO NPs. A comprehensive overview of ZnO NPs, their synthesis, characterization techniques, crystal structure, properties, and brief industrial applications are presented.
