Authors: Almohammadawi Khalid Obiad Mohsin , Alhilfi Haider Saadoon Qasim , Alkhalidy Rafid Adil Abood 
Published: December 2018

Background: Migraine is the most common primary headache. This study aimed to describe clinical observations about migraine in outpatients in Iraq, including migraine types and subtypes, duration and frequency of acute attacks, severity, disability, effects on the quality of life, and complications. Methods: This is an outpatient-based prospective cross-sectional study, conducted in the Misan province, Iraq over nine years, and included 1412 patients aged 12 to 50 years. The data was collected from clinical records of patients who attended outpatient clinics. Results: The study included 1100 women (77.9%) and 312 men (22.1%); the women/men ratio being 3.5:1. The median age and standard deviation (SD) was 21 ± 5.42 years. The mean age at first attack of migraine was 17 ± 4.91 years. Migraine without aura was the most common type, accounting for 68% of the cases. The mean frequency of the attacks was (2 ± 4.63) days/month. In general, acute attacks were moderate to severe. Conclusions: In our study, we observed that migraine causes a headache resulting in episodes of temporary functional disability and women suffered more than men (ratio of 3.5:1). The mean age at first attack was a young age, and a family history of migraine highly altered distribution. Migraine without aura was the most common type, and symptoms including nausea and vomiting and photophobia were experienced by patients, which were used to diagnose migraines. Experienced aura was the most common migraine with aura, but also aura without a headache and aura with migraine were prevalent; therefore, it is important to differentiate between migraine subtypes. Visual aura was the most common aura, while motor symptoms were very rare. Chronic persistent headaches were a common complication recorded. These features provide evidence for the creation of screening tools in migraine prevention migraine.
Cartesian Aseity in the Third Meditation
Authors: McBrayer Landon 
Published: December 2018

The notion that something can exist a se (of/through itself) is central to Descartes’s overall metaphysics of causation. In the Meditations, divine aseity plays the role of explaining not only God’s existence but ultimately the existence of everything else apart from God. Yet in the Meditations proper, as well as in the early Replies, Descartes does little to clarify (much less defend) exactly what his view of divine aseity is and how it might differ from the sort of aseity commonly posited by the Scholastics. Despite Descartes’s later attempts to assuage this worry and clarify his position, the positive aseity charge has not gone away. (For example, John Carriero, in his recent lengthy commentary on the Meditations, repeats the charge in his analysis of the Third Meditation.) Here I shall argue that the charge is unjustified on all counts. Baldly stated, Descartes’s notion of aseity is no different (with one slight but important qualification) than the negative sense of aseity endorsed by his Scholastic predecessors - especially Aquinas. Understanding this not only helps in clarifying the overall picture of Cartesian causality but also aids in seeing how commentaries on the Meditations, old and new, have obscured it.
Rise and be surprised: Aspectual profiling and mirativity in Odia light verb constructions
Authors: Lemmens Maarten , Sahoo Kalyanamalini 
Published: December 2018

AbstractIn this paper, we present our Construction Grammar account of light verb constructions in the Indo-Aryan language Odia (earlier known as Oriya). These light verb constructions are asymmetric complex verb predicates that combine a main verb (MV) with a light verb (LV). While the LVs are form-identical with a lexical verb, they are “light” because they have lost their lexical content as well as their argument structure. We argue that LV constructions present a coherent system: (i) they all modulate the interpretation of the event encoded by the main verb by adding a particular aspectual (phasal) profile on the event (i.e. profiling the ONSET, DURATION or COMPLETION of the event) and (ii) some of these light verbs further add a mirative interpretation. The present paper focuses on this subset of “aspectuo-mirative LVs” which can be characterised as non-parasitic expressions of mirativity; in particular, it presents new work on the light verb -uʈh‘-rise’ that combines a profile on ONSET with mirativity. The constructional view that we present here offers an account of light verbs that is both descriptively and theoretically innovative. Its descriptive value resides in its systematic and fine-grained corpus-based analysis of the formal and semantic features of LVs beyond what is found in the existing literature. The theoretical contribution of our paper not only resides in offering a better understanding of the status of LVs in the grammar, but by situating the semantic value of some of these in the complex category of mirativity, it offers a more unified answer of quite disparate observations in the literature. Finally, we also address the question of whether this mirative value of the aspectuo-mirative LVs is semantic or pragmatic. As we will show, such a strict dichotomy cannot be maintained, which gives further support for a constructional approach.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
The aim of the study was to find appropriate non-chlorinated solvent systems for the extraction and separation of pure pinosylvin (PS) and pinosylvin monomethylether (PSMME) from Scots pine/Norway spruce wood residues. The extraction was performed in a pressurized solvent extractor and the purification and isolation of pure substances was done by flash chromatography. More precisely, pure PS was isolated via sequential flash chromatography in two repetitions in the gradient mode of the mobile phase, with cylcohexane (CX) and ethylacetate (EtOAc), beginning with 100% CX and ending up with 100% EtOAc. The extractives were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed in terms of PS and PSMME contents by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy.
Christopher Columbus and Juana Azurduy: Revising and Revisiting Historical Monuments in Argentina
Authors: Lerer Marisa 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This article examines the recent disputed, intertwined re-sitings of Arnaldo Zocchi’s Monument to Christopher Columbus (1910) and Andrés Zerneri’s Monument to Juana Azurduy (2015) in Buenos Aires. It analyzes issues of commissioning and political motivation in President Kristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s call to remove the Columbus monument and the resulting backlash by civil society groups. The intervention by a head of state to uproot a monument dedicated to the Genovese navigator is just one of many ways in which distinct approaches to the legacy of Columbus is addressed in the transnational public sphere. This study will also consider the lack of memorials dedicated to women and First Nations in public space.
INA – An Augmented TV
Authors: Veyrat-Masson Isabelle 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This paper describes the extraordinary tool available for the French, in the field of the preservation and provision of audiovisual archives (news, television, radio and Internet). Created in 1974, the National Audiovisual Institute (INA), a public service, was commissioned to collect from radio and television stations archives and programs broadcast by state radio and television for professionals. In a second phase, INA opened its collections to researchers and academics, and more recently, to the general public. INA has also built documentary and research tools. Therefore it can be said that the availability of this audiovisual heritage not only promotes the quality of research on the content of radio and television, but also that the possibility for citizens to consult – through the Internet – a part of these archives might modify the memorial heritage of our contemporaries.
Cooking the Books: Contested Colonial Commemorations in Australia

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Controversy around the celebration of Captain Cook as a founding father of the Australian nation is not new, but dates back to the nineteenth century when his first statues were raised. The latest plans made by Australia’s government to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his so-called discovery of the continent has sparked renewed controversy which is linked to global debates about the contemporary value and meaning of civic statues to heroes associated with Indigenous dispossession, colonialism and slavery.
Recognition and Protection of Personality Rights: Classification and Typology
Authors: Neethling Johann 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In this article the premise is that personality interests exist in factual reality independently of any legal recognition. This emphasis on the pre-legal existence of individual personality interests is not merely of philosophical interest, but of cardinal jurisprudential and practical significance as it brings to the fore the fact that the qualities of personality interests are not determined by legal principles, but primarily by their nature in the sphere of factual reality. A jurisprudential definition and delineation of personality interests, which is essential to enable protective measures to be properly applied in practice, does not detract from this. This classification and typology therefore take account of factual reality, supplemented on a comparative law approach by the personality rights identified and delimited by jurists, the courts and legislatures, as well as typical examples of infringements of personality sanctioned by the different legal systems. Accordingly, the following classification and typology of personality rights are proposed: the right to life, the right to physical integrity, the right to physical liberty, the right to reputation, the right to dignity, the right to feelings, the right to privacy, and the right to identity.
Slow Light Investigation on Power Consumption of Lithium Niobate Phc Switch Based on Linear Electro-Optic Effect
Authors: Gharsallah Zaineb , Najjar Monia , Janyani Vijay 
Published: December 2018

AbstractIn this work, an optical switch based on electro-optic effect is reported. We used defect mode in two-dimensional photonic crystal made of Lithium Niobate. Under an applied voltage of 3 V, a refractive index change of −0.0702 is obtained which has led to a transmittance contrast about 60% for the ON state and a high extinction ratio of about 20 dB. Moreover, Slow light structure performance is investigated to optimize proposed optic switch. Due to elliptic shape of holes, the applied voltage is decreased to 0.5 V. Also, a refractive index change decrease around −0.0481, a transmittance contrast increase 65 %, and an extinction ratio increase by 5 dB have been observed. We used plan wave expansion and finite difference time domain methods to analyze the structures performances. It is seen that a defect mode shift about 40 nm and a switching length of 6.48 μm are obtained with drive voltage of 3 V for simple structure and only 0.5 V for slow light structure.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
In this paper, the influence of mixed convection in a porous square enclosure under the effect of radiation is numerically examined. The top and bottom walls are maintained at uniform temperature θc while some portion of the vertical walls is partially heated with temperature θh and rest of the vertical walls are thermally insulated, with θh > θc. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved by MAC (Marker and Cell) method. The effect of various parameters (thermal Grashof number, Darcy number, Prandtl number, Reynolds number) on flow patterns and heat transfer has been presented.
Stereochemistry of electrophilic and nucleophilic substitutions at phosphorus
Authors: Kolodiazhnyi Oleg I. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Nucleophilic and electrophilic substitutions are the most often applied reactions in organophosphorus chemistry. They are closely interrelated, because in a reacting pair always one reagent is an electrophile, and another nucleophile. The reactions of electrophilic and nucleophilic substitutions at the phosphorus center proceed via the formation of a pentacoordinated intermediate. The mechanism of nucleophilic substitution involves the exchange of ligands in the pentacoordinate phosphorane intermediate, leading to the more stable stereomer under the thermodynamic control. Electrophilic substitution proceeds with retention of absolute configuration, whereas nucleophilic substitution with inversion of configuration at the phosphorus center.
Palladium-catalyzed microwave-assisted Hirao reaction utilizing the excess of the diarylphosphine oxide reagent as the P-ligand; a study on the activity and formation of the “PdP2” catalyst
Authors: Henyecz Réka , Mucsi Zoltán , Keglevich György 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The microwave-assisted Hirao reaction of bromobenzene and diarylphosphine oxides was performed at 120 °C using triethylamine as the base, and 5% of palladium acetate as the catalyst in ethanol. 5% Excess of the >P(O)H reagent served as the reducing agent, while another 10% as the preligand (in the >POH tautomeric form). It was found that the P–C coupling reaction was significantly faster with (2-MeC6H4)2P(O)H (A) and (3,5-diMeC6H3)2P(O)H (B), than with Ph2P(O)H (C) and (4-MeC6H4)2P(O)H (D). Moreover, species A and B could be applied as selective P-ligands in the reaction of bromobenzene with C or D. Dependence of the effectiveness of “PdP2” catalysts with diarylphosphine oxide preligands on the methyl substituents followed a reversed order as the reactivity of the diarylphosphine oxide species in the P–C coupling itself. Formation of the “PdP2” catalyst from palladium acetate and diarylphosphine oxide has never been studied, but now it was evaluated by us at the B3LYP level of theory applying 6-31G(d,p) for C,H,P,O and SDD/MW28 for Pd including the explicit-implicit solvent model. The novel mechanism requiring three equivalents of the >P(O)H species for each of the palladium acetate molecule was in agreement with the preparative experiments. The ligation of palladium(0) with different P(III) species comprising the >POH form of the >P(O)H reagent was also studied, and the critical role of the steric hindrance on the ligation, and hence on the activity of the “PdP2” catalyst was substantiated. Last but not least, the influence of the Me substituents in the aromatic ring of the P-reagents on the energetics of the elemental steps of the Hirao reaction itself was also evaluated.
Integrability analysis of the partial differential equation describing the classical bond-pricing model of mathematical finance
Authors: Aziz Taha , Fatima Aeeman , Khalique Chaudry Masood 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThe invariant approach is employed to solve the Cauchy problem for the bond-pricing partial differential equation (PDE) of mathematical finance. We first briefly review the invariant criteria for a scalar second-order parabolic PDE in two independent variables and then utilize it to reduce the bond-pricing equation to different Lie canonical forms. We show that the invariant approach aids in transforming the bond-pricing equation to the second Lie canonical form and that with a proper parametric selection, the bond-pricing PDE can be converted to the first Lie canonical form which is the classical heat equation. Different cases are deduced for which the original equation reduces to the first and second Lie canonical forms. For each of the cases, we work out the transformations which map the bond-pricing equation into the heat equation and also to the second Lie canonical form. We construct the fundamental solutions for the bond-pricing model via these transformations by utilizing the fundamental solutions of the classical heat equation as well as solution to the second Lie canonical form. Finally, the closed-form analytical solutions of the Cauchy initial value problems for the bond-pricing model with proper choice of terminal conditions are obtained.
The Greek parameters of a continuous arithmetic Asian option pricing model via Laplace Adomian decomposition method
Authors: Edeki Sunday O. , Motsepa Tanki , Khalique Chaudry Masood , Akinlabi Grace O. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The Greek parameters in option pricing are derivatives used in hedging against option risks. In this paper, the Greeks of the continuous arithmetic Asian option pricing model are derived. The derivation is based on the analytical solution of the continuous arithmetic Asian option model obtained via a proposed semi-analytical method referred to as Laplace-Adomian decomposition method (LADM). The LADM gives the solution in explicit form with few iterations. The computational work involved is less. Nonetheless, high level of accuracy is not neglected. The obtained analytical solutions are in good agreement with those of Rogers & Shi (J. of Applied Probability 32: 1995, 1077-1088), and Elshegmani & Ahmad (ScienceAsia, 39S: 2013, 67–69). The proposed method is highly recommended for analytical solution of other forms of Asian option pricing models such as the geometric put and call options, even in their time-fractional forms. The basic Greeks obtained are the Theta, Delta, Speed, and Gamma which will be of great help to financial practitioners and traders in terms of hedging and strategy.
Synthesis and applications of carbon nanofibers: a review
Authors: Ruiz-Cornejo Juan C. , Sebastián David , Lázaro Maria J. 
Published: December 2018

AbstractCarbon nanofibers (CNFs) have shown great potential in multiple applications. Their versatility is derived from the possibility of tuning their physical and chemical properties. CNFs can be synthesized using two main methods: the catalytic decomposition of carbon precursors or the electrospinning and carbonization of polymers. The most appropriate method relies on the desired characteristics of the CNFs. Some of their applications include the synthesis of catalysts and catalytic supports, as electrodes for fuel cell devices, in hydrogen storage systems, and in functional nanocomposites. In this review, recent advances in the synthesis and potential applications of CNFs are examined.

Authors: Duan Yanhui , Fan Zhaolin , Wu Wenhua , Chen Ti 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In this paper, global optimization design of a transonic compressor 3D blade (Rotor 37) has been carried out by a self-developed aerodynamic shape optimization (ASO) platform based on improved parallel synchronous particle swarm optimization (PSPSO). To improve the performance of PSPSO, coefficient of variation (COV) based attenuation method with new parameters is proposed and then validated by optimization tests. Flow field of blade is calculated by an in-house computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code called PMB3D-Turbo, which is validated by Rotor 37. Choosing Rotor 37 as the case, optimization object is to maximize the peak adiabatic efficiency, meanwhile constraining mass flow and total pressure ratio. The solutions show that, the ASO platform is effective to transonic compressor blade and variations of thickness distribution near the trailing edge can help improve the adiabatic efficiency of a transonic compressor blade.

Authors: Tanner Monika Bandi , Pfammatter Adrian , Weber Romina , Friedli Therese Lehmann 
Published: December 2018

ZusammenfassungSteigende Anforderungsprofile für Tourismusbetriebe im Kontext der Internationalisierung verlangen nach strategischen Ansätzen. Damit erhält die Strategiefähigkeit der Betriebe eine erhöhte Bedeutung bei Förderungen durch die Tourismuspolitik. Dieser Beitrag greift auf ein planungsorientiertes Prozessmodell des strategischen Managements zur Erklärung der Strategiefähigkeit zurück. Entsprechend werden in strategischen Prozessen tourismusspezifische Ansatzpunkte starker Strategiefähigkeit diskutiert und abgeleitet. Daran angelehnt wird in einer pragmatischen Analyse die Förderwirkung von tourismuspolitischen Instrumenten und Massnahmen der Schweiz und Österreich auf die Strategiefähigkeit untersucht. Die Tourismuspolitik kann vor allem über Anreizsysteme eine positive Förderwirkung auf die drei Hauptprozesse der Strategiefähigkeit bei Betrieben erzielen und so versuchen, die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu fördern.
