Polypharmacy and deprescribing in people with learning disabilities
Authors: Adams Danielle 
Published: June 2019

In order to effectively manage problematic polypharmacy and stop medicines safely, it is imperative that there is an appreciation of all the factors that are involved in the deprescribing process. A collaborative, patient-centred approach is required to optimise medicines effectively and reduce inappropriate prescribing. Patients should be equal stakeholders in this process. Implementing shared decision-making, while considering the issues of capacity and consent, may contribute to improved patient empowerment and outcomes. Reflecting on the risks of deprescribing — such as the implications of relapse, and the reduction of beneficial side effects and the risk of medication errors — can provide a framework for positive patient outcomes. Key to managing these risks is effective communication between all stakeholders. The STOMP campaign is addressing the overprescribing of psychotropic medicines in people with learning disabilities. It is hoped that by reducing these medicines, in the absence of a mental health diagnosis, existing health inequalities, morbidity and mortality may be reduced.
Analyses of Mechanical Properties of By-products for Development of Livestock Feed Bioreactor
Authors: Woo Seungmin , Uyeh Daniel Dooyum , Kim Junhee , Ha Yushin 
Published: June 2019

Abstract.Research on the utilization of by-products for alternative feed production has been undertaken to reduce the cost of breeding livestock especially in East Asia where there is high dependency on grains. Most studies, however, have focused on their properties. By-products have a wide range of moisture content (MC). Anaerobic fermentation is usually adopted as a processing method to prevent deterioration, decomposition, and acidification during the transportation and storage processes. As a preceding study for developing a storage and fermentation system, the objective of this study was to analyze the mechanical characteristics of by-products. Geometric, physical, and rheological characteristics were examined using particle testing methods. Heat transfer coefficient and specific heat of by-products were determined using quick thermal conductivity meter. An extremely high uniformity coefficient of between 2.30 and 3.29 for the mixed by-products was recorded with a static repose angle ranging from 32.3° to 46.6°. The adhesive force increased when materials high in moisture were mixed. The heat transfer coefficient was in the range of 0.1244 to 0.2774 W/m·K and specific heat was between 307.8 and 594.3 J/g. Mechanical characteristics of by-products for the development of bioreactor were examined and reported. Keywords: By-products, Fermentation, Livestock feed, Mechanical characteristics, Storage.
Der Gott Israels und das Volk Israel im Koran
Authors: Feldtkeller Andreas 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
A staple in western discussions about interpretations of Islam is the position that the ultimate break between Muhammad and Judaism in Medina resulted also in the condemnation of Israel in the Qur’an. This contribution scrutinizes the hermeneutical premises leading to such an as­sessment and proves its incompatibility with basic principles of Muslim interpretive traditions. An analysis of the narrative sections of the Qur’an leads to the conclusion that the reciting community is continuously being confronted with God’s history with the people of Israel and that the Qur’an both advocates for the lasting/permanent election of Israel and presupposes God’s unrevoked covenant with the people of Israel.
Protestantismus und politische Partizipation. Evangelische Parlamentarierinnen im Nachkriegsbayern zwischen Politik und Kirche
Authors: Haußmann Annette , Spanos Jonathan 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The article reflects on the interdependence of the political and ecclesial sphere and the influence of Protestant women in the first two decades after 1945. Two different biographies of women from Bavaria with active influence in politics and church and both members of the CSU, Elisabeth Nägelsbach (member of the Landtag) and Ingeborg Geisendörfer (member of the Bundestag), are taken into account concerning their self-understanding, their agenda setting and their rhetoric self-presentation. We argue, that the spheres of politics and church are interdependent and gender construction plays an important role. Furthermore, the developments in the ecclesial sphere took much longer and emancipation of women was implemented more hesitantly than in the political system. Also, theological arguments were crucial for this delay. The article suggests to consider a differentiated and context-sensible approach to understand the relationship between religious denomination and emancipation as well as the role of political conservative female politicians with an association to the church in the development of gender equalization.
Effects of Labour Regulation on Manufacturing Firms in India: A Leximetric Approach
Authors: Choutagunta Abishek S. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Inefficiencies and rigidities in the supply of inputs caused by strict laws and regulation could lead to distortions in the production structures of firms. These distortions, when magnified, can have adverse effects on the economic performance of a country. The study by Botero et al. (Botero, Juan C., Simeon Djankov, Rafael La Porta, Florencio Lopez de-Silanes, and Andrei Shleifer. 2004. “The Regulation of Labor.” The Quarterly Journal of Economics 119: 1339–1382.) among others, has observed that richer counties with social welfare supports tend to regulate labour less than relatively poorer countries; but, these studies concentrate mainly on country-wide or cross-country data leaving out variations exclusively found in micro-level data. This study fills a gap in the literature by conducting a comprehensive study of the effects of labour laws on output and productivity of manufacturing firms in Indian states. Unlike previous studies which measure the strength of labour regulation by interpreting labour laws, this study measures the same by mining information from case-law citations of labour laws and builds an index of labour litigiousness which proxies for the strength of labour regulation. Results show that labour litigation and industrial disputes have significant negative influences on both output and productivity of manufacturing firms.
Rivalling Noun-Dependent Complements in Modern English: that‑Clauses and ‘Complex’ Gerunds
Authors: Rohdenburg Günter 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This corpus‑based paper explores the history and present status of the contrast between noun‑dependent that‑clauses and ‘complex’ gerunds containing their own subjects. With seven of the fifteen nouns under scrutiny, the emergence of the that‑clause either follows that of the gerund or the two complement types emerge at about the same time. This suggests that we will have to qualify the general assumption that since the eighteenth century English has promoted non‑finite subordinate clauses at the expense of finite ones. More crucially, with by far most of the nouns investigated, the that‑clause has gained much further ground over the last few centuries, with American English spearheading this development since the early nineteenth century. In line with the Complexity Principle, the grammatical environments favouring the more explicit that‑clause over the complex gerund include subject complexity and different types of structural discontinuity. Intriguingly, however, the easy‑to‑process there‑clause containing the nouns in question is also found to favour the that‑clause at the expense of the complex gerund.
New Light on Early Middle English Borrowing from Anglo-Norman: Investigating Kinship Terms in grand‑
Authors: Durkin Philip 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
It is well known that the set of kinship terms in Middle English showed considerable influence from French. In the case of aunt and uncle, this accompanied major restructuring of the system of kinship terms, as the Old English set of four distinct terms for paternal and maternal uncles and aunts were replaced by just two terms for ‘uncle’ and ‘aunt’, regardless of whether paternal or maternal. In comparison, the words for ‘grandfather’ and ‘grandmother’ have attracted little attention, as their story has appeared simpler: Old English had words for ‘grandfather’ and ‘grandmother’, irrespective of whether paternal or maternal, and so did Middle English. The terms are also similar in structure, with native terms in which words for ‘father’ or ‘mother’ are the head and eald ‘old’ is the modifier (whether in a compound or a phrasal structure) being replaced by borrowed terms (grandsire, granddame) or hybrid terms (grandfather, grandmother) in which French grand ‘big’ is the modifier. This paper shows that behind this apparently simple story there lurk some significant complications which point to considerable disruption and instability in the terms for ‘grandfather’ and ‘grandmother’ in both Middle English and French (with interesting and perhaps significant parallels also in other West Germanic languages). Consideration of these complications also casts new light on early lexical borrowing into Middle English from Anglo-Norman.
Two Personal Names in Recently Found Anglo-Saxon Runic Inscriptions: Sedgeford (Norfolk) and Elsted (West Sussex)
Authors: Hines John 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
In 2017 two objects carrying runic inscriptions that are identifiable as personal names were found. Both date to the ninth century; both are dithematic (compound) names. The object identified as a spoon or fork handle from Sedgeford in Norfolk bears a familiar male name, Biarnferð. This contains a runic graph hitherto unseen, which may, despite the provenance of the find, be interpreted as a representation of the diphthong ia that developed in the Kentish dialect by the middle of the ninth century. There is in fact a historically known individual of this name who witnessed a series of Canterbury charters in the mid-ninth century. The other object, a strap-end from Elsted in West Sussex, carries what can be identified from its final element, ‑flǣd, as a female name, although the whole name cannot be read. What is legible cannot be identified with any previously recorded personal name. Evaluation of these finds emphasizes how Anglo-Saxon runic writing practice continued to adapt to changes in the language and the regularization of roman-script literacy in the ninth century. Finally, the role of literacy within a nexus of cultural relationship involving individuals and artefacts is also highlighted.
Systematic design of microscope objectives. Part III: miscellaneous design principles and system synthesis
Authors: Zhang Yueqian , Gross Herbert 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
In this paper, the lens modules used in the Zones 1–4 microscope objectives, which have been summarised in Part II, are utilised to create new structures. Both the modification of available systems and the synthesis of new system structures from basic building blocks are introduced. Moreover, design principles used under four special cases are introduced in this paper, including very-low-magnification Zone 5 objectives, very-high-magnification Zone 6 objectives, objectives with correction function (CORR) and objectives with diffractive optical elements, which were not systematically discussed in Part II. All the definitions and terms are based on the preceding papers.
Juden und Diabetes
Authors: Jütte Robert 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
It is noticeable that diabetes - unlike other diseases usually associated with Jews, such as leprosy, haemorrhoids and scabies - was not linked to Judaism until the second half of the nineteenth century. The first statistics used to prove that Jews suffer from this metabolic disorder with particular frequency came interestingly from a physician in Karlsbad who noticed that there was a disproportionately high number of Jews among his diabetes patients. Since the end of the nineteenth century, mortality statistics from various cities (Boston, New York, Frankfurt) or regions (Prussia, for instance) have also been used as evidence in the medical literature. They also seem to confirm the higher mortality rates in Jewish diabetes sufferers. Doubts as to the reliability of such statistics were expressed early on. It was pointed out, for instance, that some of the figures came from spa towns or specialized medical practices and were therefore linked to a particular class of Jews and non-Jews. Some physicians sought the cause of the ailment in certain racial characteristics, others in the idiosyncratic behaviours of this demographic group. Given the highly complex processes underlying the origin of diabetes, the findings of modern genetic research may well also prove to be incorrect in the future.
Der kranke Mann im Golus
Authors: Kilcher Andreas 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Zionism is rooted in the programme for overcoming the Diaspora. The descriptions of this programme go hand in hand with an in-depth »diagnosis« of the sufferings of the Diaspora as a symptom of the ongoing animosity towards Jews and their persecution even, and particularly, in the age of emancipation. This cultural, social and political diagnosis was described in Zionism - and it is no coincidence that this happened mostly through physicians - as the medical and psychiatric pathologization of the »Jewish people’s body«. In this process of naturalization and scientification paradigms and methods of the contemporary humanities and social sciences were applied, including concepts as controversial as that of the »Jewish race«. The present analysis examines this medical account from two complementary perspectives: the medical verbalization of the political discourse of Zionism on the one hand (Leon Pinsker, Max Nordau, etc.), and the politicization of medicine on the other (Arthur Kahn, Felix Theilhaber, etc.).

Authors: Vogel-Heuser Birgit , Fantuzzi Cesare , Wimmer Manuel , Böhm Markus , Fay Alexander 
Published: June 2019

Zusammenfassung
Modellbasierte Systementwicklung hat bereits Anwendung in der industriellen Entwicklung einer Vielzahl technischer Systeme gefunden. Die Verwendung verschiedener Modelle, z. B. für mechanische, elektrotechnische und automatisierungstechnische Systemaspekte sowie deren Varianten und Versionen unterstützt interdisziplinäre Innovationen, führt jedoch zu vielen Herausforderungen. Eine davon ist die heterogene Modelllandschaft, die insbesondere von überlappenden, teilweise redundant modellierten Informationen geprägt ist. Zudem unterliegen Entwicklungs-, Produktions- und Serviceprozesse ständig internen sowie auch externen Entwicklungszyklen. Zur Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen können verschiedene Methoden und Techniken eingesetzt werden. In diesem Beitrag werden einige dieser Ansätze hinsichtlich ihrer Vorteile und Grenzen untersucht, und zwar das Konsistenz- bzw. Inkonsistenzmanagement von gekoppelten Modellen im Engineering, das disziplin-übergreifende Management des Engineering-Workflows sowie die Bedeutung von Smart Data Ansätzen bzw. modellbasiertem Wissen.
From Jungle to Civilized Economy: The Power Foundation of Exchange Economy Equilibrium
Authors: Schwarz Mordechai E. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This article explores the evolution of a civilized exchange economy from an anarchistic environment. I analyze a model of stochastic jungle bargaining mechanism and show that it implements the Talmud Rule allocation (Aumann, R. J., and M. Maschler. 1985. “Game Theoretic Analysis of a Bankruptcy Problem from the Talmud.” Journal of Economic Theory 36 (2): 195–213.) in subgame perfect equilibrium. This Pareto-inefficient allocation constitutes the initial endowment of a stable exchange economy and supports stable Walrasian equilibria, implying that civilized economies could evolve from a Hobbesian state of nature without social contract or regulator. The moral implications of these results are also briefly discussed.
The emergence of the hybrid older reader: A cross-national study
Authors: Adoni Hanna , Nimrod Galit 
Published: June 2019

AbstractBased on a survey of 6,989 individuals aged 60 and up from six countries (Austria, Denmark, Israel, the Netherlands, Romania and Spain), this study aimed at exploring the extent to which digital media practices complement and/or replace print media among older internet users. Results indicated a relative strength of print media among this audience and pointed to four differentiated sub-segments: hybrid readers—who comprised the majority of sample respondents—, heavy print readers, heavy online readers and non-readers. The segment type significantly associated with sociodemographic characteristics. The findings indicate that older readers are not a homogenous group and that their reading habits are affected by a complex configuration of factors: technological features of different media, specific individual psychosocial needs, unequal allocation of cultural capital among varied social groups that results in different levels and types of literacy, and—at least to some extent—idiosyncratic cultural and political conditions in each country.
Copula multivariate GARCH model with constrained Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
Authors: Burda Martin , Bélisle Louis 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The Copula Multivariate GARCH (CMGARCH) model is based on a dynamic copula function with time-varying parameters. It is particularly suited for modelling dynamic dependence of non-elliptically distributed financial returns series. The model allows for capturing more flexible dependence patterns than a multivariate GARCH model and also generalizes static copula dependence models. Nonetheless, the model is subject to a number of parameter constraints that ensure positivity of variances and covariance stationarity of the modeled stochastic processes. As such, the resulting distribution of parameters of interest is highly irregular, characterized by skewness, asymmetry, and truncation, hindering the applicability and accuracy of asymptotic inference. In this paper, we propose Bayesian analysis of the CMGARCH model based on Constrained Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (CHMC), which has been shown in other contexts to yield efficient inference on complicated constrained dependence structures. In the CMGARCH context, we contrast CHMC with traditional random-walk sampling used in the previous literature and highlight the benefits of CHMC for applied researchers. We estimate the posterior mean, median and Bayesian confidence intervals for the coefficients of tail dependence. The analysis is performed in an application to a recent portfolio of S&P500 financial asset returns.
Exponential inequalities for nonstationary Markov chains
Authors: Alquier Pierre , Doukhan Paul , Fan Xiequan 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Exponential inequalities are main tools in machine learning theory. To prove exponential inequalities for non i.i.d random variables allows to extend many learning techniques to these variables. Indeed, much work has been done both on inequalities and learning theory for time series, in the past 15 years. However, for the non independent case, almost all the results concern stationary time series. This excludes many important applications: for example any series with a periodic behaviour is nonstationary. In this paper, we extend the basic tools of [19] to nonstationary Markov chains. As an application, we provide a Bernsteintype inequality, and we deduce risk bounds for the prediction of periodic autoregressive processes with an unknown period.
Die Konfusion der Identitätstheorie mit dem Neurokonstruktivismus und deterministischen Naturalismus – demonstriert am Ansatz von Michael Pauen
Authors: Richter Matthias 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Representatives of ‘philosophy of mind’ such as Michael Pauen think about the issue of mind and brain as if they were solving a linguistic puzzle. At first glance this approach appears to be particularly objective, but actually it contains misleading simplifications, logical failures and categorical mistakes at crucial points in the train of thought. This article demonstrates that the claim of identity of mind and brain only makes sense if one presupposes neuroconstructivism and strong naturalism already in the very composition of the identity-oriented argument. According to naturalism, every occurrence, thus also our subjectivity and our personal acts, are conditioned sufficiently by the causal mechanism of actions. Intentionality is thus reduced to a causal mechanism and consciousness to a psychophysical state. When theorists like Gerhard Roth or Michael Pauen interpret observations of brain science to the effect that our lives are determined by neurobiological processes and that freedom of will in a strong sense is impossible, then they will only find in their interpretations what they ideologically put in beforehand.
Polycation-globular protein complex: Ionic strength and chain length effects on the structure and properties
Authors: Hergli Eya , Aschi Adel 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThe effect of high salt concentration and pH on the binding of globular protein to polycation at different molar masses has been investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS), turbidimetry and electrostatic modeling for the protein. In dilute concentration regime, DLS and pH titrations showed three remarkable pH transitions: pHc, the pH where soluble complexes of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and linear synthetic Polyethylenemine (PEI) are formed, pHc’ presents the end of primary soluble complex and pHφ presents the first appearance of microcoacervate droplets. All pH transitions increase with increasing NaCl concentration. The Adaptive Poisson-Boltzmann Solver (APBS) identify with precision the functional sites at the surface of BSA and shows that the strength of electrostatic interactions depends hugely on the variation of pH and ionic strength. At a very high concentration of salt, no remarkable effect on a mixture formed of a long chain of polycation and globular protein.
Polyimide/mica hybrid films with low coefficient of thermal expansion and low dielectric constant
Authors: Zhao Wei , Xu Yong , Song Chaoran , Chen Jian , Liu Xiaohong 
Published: June 2019

AbstractPolyimide (PI)/mica hybrid films were successfully prepared by in situ condensation polymerization method, in which the mica particles were modified by coupling agent γ-aminopropyltriethoxy silane (APTS) to strengthen the interaction between the mica particles and PI matrix. The morphology, structure, thermal and mechanical properties as well as dielectric properties of PI films were systematically studied via Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR spectrometer), Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile experiments, Thermal mechanical analyzer (TMA), impedance analyzer, etc. The results indicated that the mica particles were dispersed homogeneously in PI matrix, leading to an improvement of the mechanical property, thermal stability and hydrophobicity. It was novel to notice that hybrid films exhibited low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and low dielectric constant simultaneously. The CTE and dielectric constant of hybrid film dropped to 25.36 ppm/k and 2.42 respectively, in the presence of 10 wt% mica into polyimide matrix.
