Housing Wealth Effects in Japan: Evidence Based on Household Micro Data
Authors: Hori Masahiro , Niizeki Takeshi 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Using micro data covering almost 500,000 Japanese households over the period 1983–2012, we examine to what extent household consumption responds to changes in housing wealth. To do so, we estimate the housing wealth of individual households by matching several official statistics. Employing cross-section and pseudo-panel-based regressions, we find that the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) out of housing wealth is approximately 0.0008–0.0013 for nondurable consumption and 0.0059–0.0082 for total consumption. We further find that the consumption response of older households is larger than that of younger households, which is consistent with the pure wealth effects hypothesis.
How widespread was the belief in demonic tollgates in sixth- to ninth-century Byzantium?
Authors: Krausmüller Dirk 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
While narratives about the ascent of the souls through the air and their examination at toll-gates were very popular in Byzantium, it would be wrong to believe that they were universally accepted. Andrew of Crete conceptualised the afterlife in such a way that no room was left for dramatic encounters with demons. Theodore of Stoudios accepted that the souls of the deceased were judged but never spoke of bands of evil spirits, which represented different kinds of vices. It seems that at least in the eighth and early ninth centuries the ecclesiastical elite found the fanciful accounts too much to stomach.
Asinine tales east and west: the Ass’s Confession and the Mule’s Hoof

Published: March 2019

Abstract
This paper examines the two main motifs in the Συναξάριον τοῦ τιμη- μένου γαδάρου and the Γαδάρου, λύκου κι ἀλουποῦς διήγησις ὡραία: the Ass’s Confession and the Mule’s Hoof, tracing them back to Medieval western rather than Ancient Aesopic sources. The Appendix deals with the dating and geographical provenance of the common ancestor of these two texts.
Measuring thyroglobulin in patients with thyroglobulin autoantibodies: evaluation of the clinical impact of BRAHMS Kryptor® Tg-minirecovery test in a large series of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma
Authors: Giovanella Luca , Verburg Frederik A. , Trimboli Pierpaolo , Imperiali Mauro , Keller Franco , Ceriani Luca 
Published: March 2019

Abstract

Background
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical impact of a thyroglobulin (Tg) minirecovery test (Tg-mRec) in a large series of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients treated and monitored homogeneously in a tertiary referral center.

Methods
Included were 1120 serum samples from 798 DTC patients. Tg, Tg autoantibodies (TgAb) and Tg-mrec measurements were performed on the automated Kryptor® platform and results compared to the corresponding clinical status.

Results
Among included samples 228 (20%) were TgAb-positive (TgAb+) and 892 (80%) TgAb-negative (TgAb−), respectively. Tg cutoff points were settled at 0.31 μg/L and 0.15 μg/L for TgAb− and TgAb+ patients, respectively, by ROC curve analysis. The diagnostic performance of serum Tg was reduced in TgAb+ compared to TgAb− patients, however, 87% of TgAb+ patients with recurrent disease and, particularly, all patients with distant metastases were correctly detected by adopting an optimized Tg cutoff for TgAb+ patients. A disturbed recovery was found in only 1% of TgAb− patients and in these cases no clinically relevant information was added by the Tg-mRec. Among TgAb+ patients with undetectable Tg and undisturbed Tg-mRec, no one had recurrent disease. However, a falsely undetectable Tg was demonstrated in two patients with recurrent disease who next to increased TgAb also had a disturbed Tg-mRec test.

Conclusions
There is no additional clinical benefit from performing Tg-mRec in most patients. It can however be considered in TgAb+ patients with undetectable Tg levels as it may help differentiate between patients with true negative and false negative Tg levels in the presence of such antibodies.

Deprem öngörülemez ve
önlenemez bir gerçektir, can ve mal kaybını en aza indirgemek için tek çaba,
yapıyı depreme bağlı kuvvetlere karşı koyacak şekilde tasarlanması ve inşa
edilmesidir. Özellikle Kobi, Northridge ve Düzce depremleri gözönünde
bulundurulduğunda hastane, okul gibi kamu binalarının ve çok-katlı binaların
depreme karşı temel izolatörlerle korunması gerekliliği öngörülmektedir.
Yapılar için istenen depreme dayanıklı bir tasarıma ulaşmak için çeşitli
girişimlerde bulunulmuştur. Bu girişimler sonucunda, bir deprem sırasında
yapısal tepkileri azaltmak için önemli ölçüde faydalı olan önemli ilerlemeler
kaydedilmiştir. Farklı deprem yer hareketleri altında tek ayarlı kütle
sönümleyici (STMD), çoklu ayarlı kütle sönümleyicileri (MTMD’ler) ve dağıtılmış
çoklu ayarlı kütle sönümleyicileri (d-MTMD’ler) kullanılarak, taban izolasyonlu
yapıların sismik tepki kontrolünün incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada yapı, tabakalı kauçuk mesnetler
(LRB), kurşun çekirdekli kauçuk mesnetler (N-Z), sürtünmeli sarkaç sistemi
(FPS) ve esnek sürtünmeli taban izolatörü (R-FBI) izolasyon sistemleri ile

We found that 4,5- diphenyl- 3(2- propynyl) thio- 1??-triazole [1? forms a complex with Pd (11) ion of ratio 1:1 which absorbs light in CH2CI2 at 400 nm, and 4,5- diphenyl- 3(2- propenyl) thio- 1,2,4- triazole [II] forms complexes with Pd (II) ion of ratio 1:1 which absorbs light at 390 nm, and of ratio 2:1 which absorbs light at 435 nm. On the other hand, we found that the new derivative 4- phenyl- 5( p- amino phenyl) -3- mercapto- 1,2,4- triazole ?111? forms complexes with Cu (II) ion of the ratio 1:1 which absorbs light at 380 nm, with Ni (II) ion of the ratio 3:1 which absorbs light at 358 nm; and with Co (11) ion of the ratio 3.2:1 which absorbs light at 588 nm. The ratio of the complexes were determined by measuring the electronic spectra of the complexes in CH2G2 and (CH^NCHO at different concentrations ofthe ligands and f?xed	' •' of the metal ion in every case, then applying the molar ratio plots on the data. Our results were confirmed by precipitating most ofthe above complexes in solid state, and then each complex was analyzed elementally.

The Datums Transformation for GPS Navigation Measurements Correction
Authors: Journal Baghdad Science 
Published: March 2019

The GPS navigation measurements become more widely used in many civilian and scientific application. All GPS navigation data holds many errors, the main error sources arise from the geodetic Datum variation when user apply the GPS measurements with the map. Geodetic datums define the size and shape of the earth and the origin and orientation of the coordinate systems used to map the earth surface. In this paper, the Datum transformation was evaluated in two mathematical methods to overcome the errors due to the difference between the WGS-84 and our country Datum Clarck-1880. The results was evaluated and investigated using Carmin GPS device for GCPs comparison, topographic map for Hilla city, mid Iraq 1:100000 scale, and two georefrencing ETM+ & TM satellite images. The spatial transformation error was less than 10 meter for UTM projection & less than 1 sec for (?, ?) projection, which can considered as suitable results in transformation calculation All results were overcome using two written program for each method with the help of Matlab facility.

Core Ideas
UBQ5 was the most stable reference gene for gene expression analysis in rice treated with herbicides.
The herbicides increased gene expression associated with defense against oxidative stress.
OsHO‐1 showed the greatest change in expression in response to herbicide treatment.
ABSTRACTHerbicides are stressors that can have negative effects on plants. In Oryza sativa (L.), differential gene expression may be evaluated through real‐time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR). The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of candidate reference genes and to quantify the relative expression of oxidative stress genes at different times (12, 24, 48, and 96 hours after treatment [HAT]) with penoxsulam, cyhalofop‐butyl, and bentazon herbicides. NormFinder, BestKeeper, and GeNorm software and the comparative ∆Ct method were used to assess expression stability and to determine the RT‐qPCR threshold values of the candidate reference genes. The UBQ5 gene was the most stable among the reference genes analyzed. The gene expression results showed upregulation of OsCAT and OsMnSOD1 genes at all times after herbicide application. The OsAPX2 and OsGST3 genes showed increased gene expression at 12 and 96 HAT for all herbicides. The OsHO‐1 gene had the most significant expression changes, with maximum expression levels at 24 HAT with bentazon and at 96 HAT with penoxsulam and cyhalofop‐butyl. Overall, antioxidant system gene expression increased after the application of bentazon, penoxsulam, and cyhalofop‐butyl in rice.

CREATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT IN DESIGN EDUCATION: PRODUCT DIMENSION
Authors: Varol Esra 
Published: March 2019

One of the important dimensions of measurement and
evaluation in design education is the product. According to various criteria,
the products designed by the students are measured by the faculty using the
jury approach, the traditional performance measurement and evaluation method in
design education, and the student success is decided upon. The most important
criterion in measuring and evaluating of student success in design education is
the product’s creativity. The purpose of this study is to identify the criteria
the Fashion Design and Industrial Design faculty uses in a product’s
performance measurement during the programs’ last year
studio courses and to discuss the criteria and definitions in both of these
design fields and to examine the process followed to decide upon a student’s success.
Qualitative research was employed in the study. Creativity was found to be the main criterion
in the performance measurement of a product in both design fields.
The Role of Genetic Polymorphism in the Formation of Arterial Hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes and their Comorbidity
Authors: Shalimova Anna , Fadieienko Galyna , Kolesnikova Olena , Isayeva Anna , Zlatkina Vira , Nemtsova Valeriya , Prosolenko Kostyantyn , Psarova Valentyna , Kyrychenko Natalia , Kochuieva Maryna 
Published: March 2019

Background:
Hereditary component plays a significant role in the formation of insulin resistance (IR)
- one of the pathogenetic links of arterial hypertension (AH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). However, the
genetic predisposition to IR can not be realized and does not manifest itself clinically in the absence of appropriate
factors of the environment (excessive nutrition, low physical activity, etc.).

Objective:
The review summarizes the results of studies which describe the contribution of genetic polymorphism
to the formation and progression of AH, DM2 and their comorbidity in various populations.

Results:
In many studies, it has been established that genetic polymorphism of candidate genes is influenced by
the formation, course and complication of AH and DM2. According to research data, the modulating effect of
polymorphism of some genetic markers of AH and DM2 on metabolism and hemodynamics has been established.
The results of numerous studies have shown a higher frequency of occurrence of AH and DM2, as well as their
more severe course with adverse genetic polymorphisms. At the same time, the role of genetic polymorphism in
the formation of AH and DM2 differs in different populations.

Conclusion:
Contradictory data on the influence of gene polymorphisms on the formation of AH and DM2 in
different populations, as well as a small number of studies on the combined effects of several polymorphisms on
the formation of comorbidity, determine the continuation of research in this direction.
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Glycyrrhizic Acid Aggregates as Drug-Carriers for Paclitaxel
Authors: Hussain Mumtaz 
Published: March 2019

Background:
Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) is a glycoside that has shown considerable promise as a
penetration enhancer and drug carrier to improve the absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs. The
aggregation behavior of GA and its ability to form large micelles at higher solution concentrations are
thought to contribute to these bioavailability enhancing properties. The oral absorption of Paclitaxel
(PTX) for example, an anti-cancer agent which exhibits poor oral bioavailability, has been found to
significantly increase in the presence of GA.

Methods:
In an attempt to visualize the aggregation behavior of GA and its subsequent association with
PTX, 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation of a 5 mM aqueous solution of GA with 10 molecules of
PTX was conducted using GROMACS and an all-atom forcefield.

Results:
Aggregation of GA molecules was found to occur quickly at this level of saturation leading to
two stable aggregates of 13 and 17 GA molecules with an effective radius of 10.17 nm to 10.92 nm.
These aggregates form not in isolation, but together with PTX molecule embedded within the structures,
which reduces the number of interactions and hydrogen-bonding with water.

Conclusion:
GA aggregation occurs around PTX molecules in solution, forming co-joined GA-PTX
cluster units at a ratio of 3:1. These clusters remain stable for the remainder of the 100ns simulation and
serve to isolate and protect PTX from the aqueous environment.

Authors: Moghadam Ebrahim S. , Tehrani Maryam H. , Csuk René , Fischer Lucie , Faramarzi Mohammad Ali , Rashidi Arezoo , Javadi Iraj , Amini Mohsen 
Published: March 2019

Background:
During last recent years number of anti-tubulin agents were introduced for treatment of
diverse kind of cancer. Despite of their potential in treatment of cancer, drug resistance and adverse toxicity
such as peripheral neuropathy are some of the negative criteria of anti-tubulin agents.

Methods:
Twenty seven quinazoline derivatives were synthesized using a multicomponent reaction. The cytotoxicity
of compounds 1-27 was tested in SRB assays employing five different human tumor cell lines. Effect of
two of active compounds on tubulin polymerization was also checked using a commercially available assay kit.
Molecular modelling studies were also performed using autodock tools software.

Results:
SRB assays showed that compounds 2, 9, 16 and 26, being highly cytotoxic with IC50 values ranging
between 2.1 and 14.3µM. The possible mode of action of compounds, 2, 9, 16 and 26, and the taxol binding site
of the protein tubulin, an important goal for antimitotic drugs, was also studied by molecular docking, which
showed reasonable interactions with tubulin active site, followed by investigation of the effects of compounds 9
and 16 on the polymerization of tubulin. The results showed the tested compounds to be highly active as inducers
of tubulin polymerization.

Conclusion:
Altogether, with respect to obtained results, it is attractive and beneficial to further investigation on
quinazoline scaffold as antimitotic agents.
