Sectoral Subsidies in West German Industrial Policy: Programmatic Objectives and Pragmatic Applications from the 1960s to the 1980s
Authors: Ahrens Ralf 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
After the end of the postwar reconstruction boom, the decline of traditional large-scale industries and intensified international competition increased the demand for state aid in the Federal Republic of Germany. This article discusses the relevance of overall industrial policy concepts for the utilization of subsidies from the 1960s to the 1980s. Concentrating on the federal level, it delineates the development of industrial subsidies in relation to the financial support of other sectors and identifies the main benefitting industries. Then the focus turns to attempts to professionalize reporting on subsidies and ideas on the “scientization” of industrial policy, the disillusionment with these instruments, and debates about subsidy cuts. Overall it becomes clear that the extent and composition of federal subsidies were not the result of a coherent policy.
Structural Policies, regional Development and industrial Specialization in Italy, 1952-2002
Authors: Lavista Fabio 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The article analyses Italian regional developmental policies between the 1950s and 1990s. It focuses in particular on the intervention through state-owned enterprises and public agencies in the underdeveloped southern regions known as the Mezzogiorno. Analysing the flow of investments in these regions, the article assesses the targets and the results of the so-called “extraordinary intervention,” advancing some hypotheses about the causes of its long-term failure: the lack of planning, the preference for top-down actions, and the peculiar institutional framework. The article also evaluates the long-term effects of this failure on the Italian industrial structure.
Relationship between solitary pulmonary nodule lung cancer and CT image features based on gradual clustering
Authors: Zhang Weipeng 
Published: June 2017

Abstract

Background
The relationship between the medical characteristics of lung cancers and computer tomography (CT) images are explored so as to improve the early diagnosis rate of lung cancers.

Methods
This research collected CT images of patients with solitary pulmonary nodule lung cancer, and used gradual clustering methodology to classify them. Preliminary classifications were made, followed by continuous modification and iteration to determine the optimal condensation point, until iteration stability was achieved. Reasonable classification results were obtained.

Results
the clustering results fell into 3 categories. The first type of patients was mostly female, with ages between 50 and 65 years. CT images of solitary pulmonary nodule lung cancer for this group contain complete lobulation and burr, with pleural indentation; The second type of patients was mostly male with ages between 50 and 80 years. CT images of solitary pulmonary nodule lung cancer for this group contain complete lobulation and burr, but with no pleural indentation; The third type of patients was also mostly male with ages between 50 and 80 years. CT images for this group showed no abnormalities.

Conclusions
the application of gradual clustering methodology can scientifically classify CT image features of patients with lung cancer in the initial lesion stage. These findings provide the basis for early detection and treatment of malignant lesions in patients with lung cancer.
Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of interuniversity collaborative learning based on network
Authors: Wenhui Ma , Yu Wang 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Learning evaluation is an effective method, which plays an important role in the network education evaluation system. But most of the current network learning evaluation methods still use traditional university education evaluation system, which do not take into account of web-based learning characteristics, and they are difficult to fit the rapid development of interuniversity collaborative learning based on network. Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to evaluate interuniversity collaborative learning based on the combination of fuzzy theory and analytic hierarchy process. Analytic hierarchy process is used to determine the weight of evaluation factors of each layer and to carry out the consistency check. According to the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, we establish interuniversity collaborative learning evaluation mathematical model. The proposed scheme provides a new thought for interuniversity collaborative learning evaluation based on network.
After notes on self-similarity exponent for fractal structures
Authors: Fernández-Martínez Manuel , Caravaca Garratón Manuel 
Published: June 2017

AbstractPrevious works have highlighted the suitability of the concept of fractal structure, which derives from asymmetric topology, to propound generalized definitions of fractal dimension. The aim of the present article is to collect some results and approaches allowing to connect the self-similarity index and the fractal dimension of a broad spectrum of random processes. To tackle with, we shall use the concept of induced fractal structure on the image set of a sample curve. The main result in this paper states that given a sample function of a random process endowed with the induced fractal structure on its image, it holds that the self-similarity index of that function equals the inverse of its fractal dimension.
D’où vient le sens? Remarques sur la sémio-phénoménologie de Greimas
Authors: Brandt Per Aage 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Greimas’ structural semantics has always intrigued both linguists and philosophers of meaning, because of its ambiguous relations to language and to life-world phenomenology. These critical remarks attempt to clarify these questions by asking a simpler one: Where does meaning come from? Is language, discourse, or the human mind its base? My discussion examines the Paris School’s semio-phenomenology and its anchoring of meaning both in discourse and in Greimas’ “natural world,” understood as a Husserlian Lebenswelt, and even, mysteriously, in an experiential world which is made of discourse. I show the possibility of a clarification of the concepts of discourse and experiential world, and a solution that interprets the work of Greimas and his school in the framework of a cognitive semiotics which is still in its beginnings.

Clinicians’ Perceptions of Screening for Food Insecurity in Suburban Pediatric Practice
Authors: Palakshappa Deepak , Vasan Aditi , Khan Saba , Seifu Leah , Feudtner Chris , Fiks Alexander G. 
Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND:
National organizations recommend pediatricians screen for food insecurity (FI). Although there has been growing research in urban practices, little research has addressed FI screening in suburban practices. We evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of screening in suburban practices.

METHODS:
We conducted a mixed methods study that implemented FI screening in 6 suburban pediatric primary care practices. We included all children presenting for either a 2-, 15-, or 36-month well-child visit (N = 5645). Families who screened positive were eligible to be referred to our community partner that worked to connect families to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. We conducted focus groups with clinicians to determine their perceptions of screening and suggestions for improvement.

RESULTS:
Of the 5645 children eligible, 4371 (77.4%) were screened, of which 122 (2.8%) screened positive for FI (range: 0.9%–5.9% across practices). Of the 122 food-insecure families, only 1 received new Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. In focus groups, 3 themes emerged: (1) Time and workflow were not barriers to screening, but concerns about embarrassing families and being unable to provide adequate resources were; (2) Clinicians reported that parents felt the screening showed caring, which reinforced clinicians’ continued screening; (3) Clinicians suggested implementing screening before the visit.

CONCLUSIONS:
We found it is feasible and acceptable for clinicians to screen for FI in suburban practices, but the referral method used in this study was ineffective in assisting families in obtaining benefits. Better approaches to connect families to local resources may be needed to maximize the effectiveness of screening in suburban settings.

Rola elementów regionalnych w wybranych homiliach księdza Józefa Tischnera
Authors: Godawa Marcin 
Published: June 2017

W swoich homiliach głoszonych pod Turbaczem ks. Józef Tischner wielostronnie wykorzystuje potencjał gwary i kultury góralskiej w procesie duszpasterskiej perswazji przyjmującym formę medytacyjnego oddziaływania. Elementy regionalne tworzą pogłębiony kod komunikacji, w który zostają włączone wątki ogólnego, bardziej powszechnego duskursu ideowego. Fortunne rozwiązania, zwłaszcza wkomponowanie pojęć regionalnych jako miejsc wspólnych niosących w sobie zapis doświadczenia w kontekst nauki chrześcijańskiej, służą dojrzałemu kształtowaniu postaw wiernych. Osiągnięcia Tischnera pozostają ważnym punktem odniesienia w dyskusji o inkulturacji Ewangelii.
Breakout shear strength of cast-in-place anchors using shaking table tests
Authors: Park Yong Myung , Kim Tae Hyung , Kim Dong Hyun , Kang Choong Hyun , Lee Jong-Han 
Published: June 2017

The concrete breakout shear strength of stirrup-reinforced cast-in-place anchors during earthquakes was experimentally evaluated. Uncracked and cracked concrete specimens were manufactured using M36 anchors reinforced with D10 stirrups (spacing, 100 mm; edge distance, 180 mm). Shaking table tests were performed to assess the dynamic strength of the reinforced anchors using the Northridge seismic wave. The experimental results showed that the dynamic shear resistance was slightly higher than the static shear resistance due to the strain rate effect of the material. In addition, Etag 001, which is based on the resistance of concrete, and ACI 318, which accounts for the resistance of concrete or steel reinforcement to evaluate the strength of the reinforced anchors, yielded conservative values for the static and dynamic shear strengths of the stirrup-reinforced anchors. An appropriate method that can account for both concrete and stirrup resistance to evaluate the design shear strength of stirrup-reinforced anchors under earthquakes is proposed.

Free enzyme in solution react with substrates to result in products which cannot be recovered for reuse. TheseÂ problemsÂ canÂ beÂ overcomeÂ to a certain extent by the use of enzyme immobilization method. Immobilized enzymes are more robust and more resistant to condition changes. More importantly, the heterogeneous immobilized enzyme systems allow an easy recovery of both enzymes and products, multiple re-uses of enzymes, and continuous operation of enzymatic processes. Entrapment of enzymes in Ca-alginate is one of the simplest methods of immobilization. The aim of this research was to obtain the optimum condition of the making of immobilized amylase beads using a Ca-alginate bead and to determine its characteristics. The optimization of immobilized amylase beads includes variation of sodium alginates and variations of enzyme contact time with CaCl2. The characterization of immobilized amylase includes determination of optimum substrate concentration, optimum pH, and optimum incubation time as well as amylase stability test. Amylase activity was determined by using dinitro salicylic (DNS) method. The results showed that the optimum immobilized amylase obtained at alginate concentrations of 5% (w/v), contact time of 60 minutes and immobilization efficiency of 67.5%. Furthermore, immobilized amylase showed optimum substrate concentration of 1.5-2.5% (w/v), optimum pH of 6, an optimum incubation time of 20 minutes with the activity of 179.8 U/mL. The KM value for free amylase and immobilized amylases were 0.3 mM and 0.12 mM respectively. Vmax value for free amylase and immobilized amylases were 105.3 U/mL and 10.1 U/mL respectively. Immobilized Amylase can be used up to six times with the residual activity of 52.7%.
