Malaria in pregnancy: Two-year prevalence among women attending antenatal clinics in a Nigerian hospital
Authors: Emmanuel Andy , Onyejekwe Grace , Adeleke Esther Funke 
Published: August 2018

Background: Pregnant women are more likely to be infected by malaria than non-pregnant women, due to immunological and hormonal changes in pregnancy. Enhancing midwives' understanding of malaria burden in pregnancy is key to ensuring that effective interventions are implemented. Aims: To determine the prevalence of malaria among pregnant women who visited an antenatal clinic in a secondary health institution in northern Nigeria between January 2013 and December 2014. Methods: Records of women that attended the antenatal clinic between January 2013 and December 2014 were analysed, and cases of malaria identified. Findings: Of the 4921 women who visited the clinic within the period under consideration, 980 were infected with malaria. The prevalences for 2013 and 2014 were 17.4% and 23.1% respectively. Prevalence was higher among younger women, and cases of malaria were largely recorded in the second and third trimesters. Conclusions: Malaria in this setting was moderate when compared with estimates for west Africa. It is recommended that midwives should pay attention to younger pregnant women in particular when implementing malaria prevention interventions or while sustaining preventive strategies.

Authors: Sonko Ismaila , Kuo Su-Chen , Lu Yu-Ying , Liu Chieh-Yu 
Published: August 2018

Background: The birth preparedness and complication readiness strategy is an approach that intends to effectively use key maternal and newborn health services to reduce delays to appropriate care. Aims: To assess postpartum women's knowledge and to explore factors associated with birth preparedness and complication readiness in rural and semi-urban regions of the Gambia. Methods: A correlational study design was conducted between July and August 2015. A total of 197 postpartum women were recruited and data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Findings: Overall, postpartum follow-up visits were low (4.6%) but lower in rural (0%) areas than semi-urban areas (9.1%). Most respondents had low knowledge of birth preparedness and complication readiness in pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period, and 90.9% had never heard the term ‘birth preparedness’. Place of residence, mother's educational level, distance from the health facility and the presence of a skilled birth attendant in last birth were found to be predictors of knowledge of birth preparedness and complication readiness. Conclusions: Postpartum follow-up visits were low, but lower in rural than in semi-urban areas. Knowledge of birth preparedness and danger signs during pregnancy, labour and postpartum was low. The independent predictors of knowledge were residence, mother's educational level, distance from the health facility and availability of skilled birth attendant.

Authors: Badal Naciima Faysal , Yusuf Ubax Alo , Egal Jama , Pedersen Christina , Erlandsson Kerstin , Osman Fatumo , Byrskog Ulrika 
Published: August 2018

Background: In Somaliland, women's perceptions of barriers to accessing antenatal care are sparsely described, particularly with regard to marginalised women. Aims: To investigate perceptions of barriers to accessing antenatal care from the perspective of pregnant women living in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps. Methods: Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 women and analysed using content analysis. Findings: It was crucial for women to have knowledge and trust of antenatal services, a supportive environment, and ways to overcome practical barriers, such as patient fees and long waiting hours. Conclusions: If women and families had relevant information about the structure and benefits of antenatal care, it would become a priority. Community awareness and trust between women, their families and antenatal care providers are central.

A hypothetical upper bound on the heights of the solutions of a Diophantine equation with a finite number of solutions
Authors: Tyszka Apoloniusz 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
We define a computable function f from positive integers to positive integers. We formulate a hypothesis which states that if a system S of equations of the forms xi· xj = xk and xi + 1 = xi has only finitely many solutions in non-negative integers x1, . . . , xi, then the solutions of S are bounded from above by f (2n). We prove the following: (1) the hypothesis implies that there exists an algorithm which takes as input a Diophantine equation, returns an integer, and this integer is greater than the heights of integer (non-negative integer, positive integer, rational) solutions, if the solution set is finite; (2) the hypothesis implies that the question of whether or not a given Diophantine equation has only finitely many rational solutions is decidable by a single query to an oracle that decides whether or not a given Diophantine equation has a rational solution; (3) the hypothesis implies that the question of whether or not a given Diophantine equation has only finitely many integer solutions is decidable by a single query to an oracle that decides whether or not a given Diophantine equation has an integer solution; (4) the hypothesis implies that if a set M ⊆ N has a finite-fold Diophantine representation, thenMis computable.
Analysis of possibilities for measurement effect of visibility in experimental FSO system
Authors: Márton Michal , Ovseník Ľuboš , Huszaník Tomáš , Špes Michal 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Nowadays, wireless optical systems are very popular because they offer a a lot of advantages including high speed transmission, high security levels, and low maintenance costs. One of these wireless optical systems is Free Space Optics (FSO). However, their primary drawback relates to the type of transmission medium used. Atmospheric channel is chosen to be the transmission medium for FSO systems. The resulting attenuation relates with all inhomogeneities that occur in the atmosphere. Concentration of water particles represents inhomogeneities which increase the levels of attenuation. Weather conditions are characterized by speciffc concentration of these particles. Visibility is one of the most crucial parameters for FSO communication. It is very important to monitor this parameter in order to switch between primary optical line and backup secondary Radio Frequency (RF) line. The focus of this paper is to analyze and evaluate visibility measurement in FSO system deployed in TUKE (Technical University of Kosice) campus. The measurement of different weather parameters for this system is triggered on TUKE. The Switching method is based on monitoring visibility as the primary parameter. Different measurement approaches provide different processing speeds. Faster and more accurate switching ensures stable system without disruption.
The Conception of Habit as a Stage of Hegel’s Naturalistic Theory of Mind
Authors: Seddone Guido 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This contribution aims to address the nature of the normative in Hegel’s theory of habits and to highlight that social practices are the outcome of natural and biological characteristics related to the homeostasis of the organism and to the common biological features of the individuals of the same species. This should point out that habits and human practices have a concrete biological background and are the outcome of humans’ eagerness to inhabit the world through socially codified activities. The contribution deals also with the relation habits have with the self-conscious life and human world history.
Standard reporting of Electrical Energy per Order (E
EO) for UV/H2O2 reactors (IUPAC Technical Report)
Authors: Keen Olya , Bolton James , Litter Marta , Bircher Keith , Oppenländer Thomas 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The concept of Electrical Energy per Order (E
EO) was introduced in 2001 as a figure of merit for evaluating the energy requirements of ultraviolet-based advanced oxidation processes (UV AOPs) used for the degradation of various organic contaminants. The E
EO parameter represents the energy input into the reactor that can achieve an order of magnitude decrease in the concentration of a target contaminant in a unit volume. Since the introduction of this parameter, it has become increasingly popular among UV AOP researchers and practitioners. However, the E
EO is often reported without important details that affect the parameter, making its interpretation difficult. The E
EO depends on a variety of factors (e.g. the concentration and identity of the target contaminant and the amount of hydrogen peroxide added). Therefore, the E
EO parameter needs to be reported in the literature with several other experimental details affecting the reactor performance and in a way that proper comparisons can be made between reactors across studies or manufacturers. This paper discusses the proper application of the E
EO parameter for bench-, pilot-, and full-scale studies. Sucralose (artificial sweetener, C12H19Cl3O8) is proposed as a standard substance for reactor comparison.

4 + n-dimensional water and waves on four and eleven-dimensional manifolds
Authors: Sepehri Alireza , Fioranelli Massimo 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
In this paper, we consider the structure of water and waves from viewpoints of two observers, one on 4-dimensional manifold and the other on 11-dimensional manifold. On a four dimensional manifold, if water contains molecules of DNA, it emits waves that by attaching to a second water, molecules give their information to it and produce new structures which are affected by the existence of DNA molecules and can be detected by PCR. Type of DNA packings in men and women are different. Consequently, their radiated waves are different and for storing their information, we need to two types of water. However on a four dimensional manifold, the structures of water are approximately the same. There is a probability that differences between various types of water could be observed in extra dimensions. On the other hand, waves that interact with water in extra dimensions can play the role of topoisomerases in biology on 11-dimensional manifold. They open packings of DNA, read it’s information and transmit it to water. Properties of these topoisomerase-like waves are different from electromagnetic and gravitational waves. However, by reducing the number of dimensions from 11 to 4, these waves become similar to known waves in four dimensions. Two structures of water and wave in extra dimensions have effects in nature. For example, waters inside the egg of women and water outside it have different structures which causes to emergence of the entanglement between them. If sperm enter water outside the egg, this entanglement is broken and some holes appear inside the egg. To fill these holes, sperms are teleported from water to water inside the egg. Another effect is radiating some topoisomerase like waves of earth and sun which are helpful for plants and transcription and translation in cells. In some cases, these waves interact with water, extract DNA from it’s structure in extra dimensions and create life.
Verfahren zur reflexionsbasierten Temperaturermittlung bei magnetostriktiven Längenmesssystemen
Authors: König Tobias , Greiner Thomas , Zern Achim , Kántor Zoltán , Szabó Attila 
Published: August 2018

Zusammenfassung
Magnetostriktive Positionssensoren (MPS) werden für absolute und hochgenaue lineare Positionsmessungen eingesetzt. Diese Sensoren basieren auf einer Laufzeitmessung (engl.: Time-of-Flight (TOF)) einer Körperschallwelle innerhalb eines magnetostriktiven Wellenleiters. Nach dem Stand der Technik werden lediglich Positionswerte und deren Ableitungen, wie Geschwindigkeit oder Beschleunigung bestimmt. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Methode zur Temperaturermittlung am Ende des Wellenleiters beschrieben. Diese basiert auf der Auswertung der temperaturabhängigen Signalveränderungen von Reflexionen, welche am Ende des Wellenleiters entstehen, an dem ein Dämpfungsmaterial angebracht ist. Hierzu werden Algorithmen vorgestellt, um die Temperatur am Ende des Wellenleiters, ohne zusätzliche Hardware, aus dem empfangenen Signal zu ermitteln. Die Herleitungen werden durch Simulationen und Messergebnisse belegt. Weiterhin wird eine Möglichkeit zur vereinfachten Kalibrierung des Verfahrens betrachtet. Mit der vorgestellten Methode kann die ermittelte Temperatur als zusätzlicher Parameter verwendet werden, um z. B. eine temperaturabhängige Positionskalibrierung im Sinne eines Self-X Konzeptes eines „Smart Sensors“ zu ermöglichen.
Warum Bürger gegen die Erhebung von Erbschaftssteuern sind – auch wenn sie keine zahlen müssen: Ergebnisse einer Vignettenstudie
Authors: Groß Martin , Lang Volker 
Published: August 2018

Zusammenfassung
Die mehrheitliche Ablehnung der Erbschaftssteuer in der deutschen Bevölkerung ist insoweit paradox, als die meisten Bürger von Umverteilungswirkungen der Erbschaftssteuer profitieren würden. Zur Aufklärung dieses Paradoxes beizutragen ist das Ziel dieses Artikels. Dazu wurde ein Vignettenexperiment durchgeführt, mit dessen Hilfe die Einflüsse von Wertvorstellungen, Eigeninteressen und Kenntnissen auf die Gerechtigkeitsbeurteilung des Erbschaftssteuersystems untersucht wird. Dabei wurde aufgrund der aktuellen Debatte zur Begünstigung von Firmenkapital im Erbschaftssteuerrecht besonders auf entsprechende Ausnahmeregelungen eingegangen. Unsere Ergebnisse machen deutlich, dass die Befragten eine progressive Besteuerung hoher Erbschaften befürworten, wobei sie aber Erleichterungen für Firmenkapitalerbschaften einräumen. Zudem zeigt sich, dass die Fokussierung auf einen nicht selbstbezogenen Bewertungsrahmen durch das Vignettenexperiment von zentraler Bedeutung für die Erklärung der ablehnenden Haltung gegenüber Erbschaftssteuern in direkten Abfragen ist.
Rechtliche Grenzen innovativer Finanztechnologien (FinTech): Smart Contracts als Selbsthilfe?
Authors: Möslein Florian 
Published: August 2018

Zusammenfassung
Mit dem FinTech-Aktionsplan, den die Europäische Kommission im Frühjahr vorgestellt hat, werden erste Konturen einer europäischen Agenda für innovative Finanztechnologien (FinTech) erkennbar. So umfassend der Anwendungsbereich des Aktionsplans, so beschränkt ist jedoch bislang sein materieller Regelungsgehalt. Die Rechtswissenschaft hat umso mehr zur künftigen Rechtsentwicklung beizutragen, muss dabei aber dem primär ermöglichenden Charakter der europäischen FinTech-Agenda Rechnung tragen. Blockchain-basierten Smart Contracts, die in der Finanzbranche großes Potenzial haben, sollte insoweit besonderes Augenmerk gelten, zumal angesichts ihres selbstdurchsetzenden, regelnden Gepräges. Der nachfolgende Beitrag illustriert nach einer überblicksartigen Darstellung des Aktionsplans die rechtlichen Grenzen, die in seiner Folge zu überdenken sein werden; dabei konzentriert er sich auf jene Smart Contracts und deren Begrenzung, insbesondere durch mitgliedstaatliche Regeln zur privatrechtlichen Selbsthilfe.
KapMuG-Verfahren bei fehlenden oder fehlerhaften Ad-hoc-Mitteilungen sowie bei Prospektangaben
Authors: Rathmann Jens 
Published: August 2018

Zusammenfassung
Die Verfahren nach dem Kapitalanleger-Musterverfahrensgesetz (KapMuG) haben, nach anfänglicher Euphorie im Zusammenhang mit einigen Großverfahren (Börsengänge der Deutsche Telekom AG, Hypo-Real-Estate-Verfahren), zweitweise ein Nischen-Dasein geführt. Erst in den letzten zwei Jahren wurden mehrere rechtlich und vor allem wirtschaftlich bedeutsame Verfahren eingeleitet (z. B. im Zusammenhang mit der gescheiterten Übernahme von VW durch Porsche oder dem sog. „Dieselgate“) und es kam auch in einer Reihe von „normalen“ Kapitalanlagefällen zu KapMuG-Anträgen (z. B. zu Schiffs- und Immobilienfonds). Der Beitrag, der auf einem Vortrag anlässlich der ZIP-Jahrestagung zum Bank- und Kapitalmarktrecht am 20. April 2018 basiert, will den Ablauf eines KapMuG-Verfahrens darstellen, dabei einige Probleme bei dessen Durchführung vor dem Oberlandesgericht beleuchten und schließlich einen Ausblick auf die – vom Bundestag inzwischen beschlossene – Musterverfahrensklage wagen.

The paper presents the project of the autonomous power complex on the basis of wind-power plant and hydrogen module with a capacity in 3 kW with further replication to 50 kW and shows the possibilities of operation of the present plant in different climatic conditions of Russia: Siberia, the Far East, the Northern Caucasus, Krasnodar territory, and also for universal use in climatic zones of the Arctic and Antarctic, deserts of Africa and the isolated islands with typical destructive sea salt fogs.This paper carries out the study, comprehensive analysis and comparison of known types and classes of wind plants, as a result of which the authors have developed an innovative multi-tier scalable vertically-axial wind power plant. This unit is used as the main power source, the uninterrupted part of which is based on a cyclically operating hydrogen module, contains an electrolytic cell, a fuel cell system and a hydrogen storage device with a communication and control system. The components of the power plant developed by the authors’ team operate at a single DC voltage and can be connected to a common bus bar with an increase of power in this complex. Flexible control algorithms allow optimizing the operation of the power complex to reduce the start-stop frequency, thereby increasing both the service life and time intervals between maintenance. Remote control provides monitoring and management of electricity output processes and hydrogen storage with the help of Internet technologies in long-term modes.The study has shown that this equipment is long-lived, reliable and environmentally friendly, and the system is modular and flexible because it is easily scaled under consumer’s control including the personal power consumption and small business. Moreover, the developed power plant is accessible in purchase, mounting and operation for remote energy consumers as far as the assessed value of equipment is correlating with the cost of power line installation and the operation of equipment does not require large engineering and technological skills.
