The equation comes with a Dirichlet
boundary condition at the left end-point and both the Dirichlet and Neumann
homogeneous boundary conditions at the right end-point. It is known that the
associated linearized equation around the origin is
not asymptotically stable. In this paper, the nonlinear
Korteweg–de Vries equation is proved to be
locally asymptotically stable around the origin through the center
manifold method.
In particular, the existence of a two-dimensional local center manifold is presented, which is locally exponentially attractive. Analyzing the Korteweg–de Vries equation restricted on the local center manifold, we obtain a polynomial decay rate of the solution.

Abstract
This document is based on the original recommendation of the Expert Panel on the Theory of Reference Values of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC), updated guidelines were recently published under the auspices of the IFCC and the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). This document summarizes proposals for recommendations on: (i) The terminology, which is often confusing, noticeably concerning the terms of reference limits and decision limits. (ii) The method for the determination of reference limits according to the original procedure and the conditions, which should be used. (iii) A simple procedure allowing the medical laboratories to fulfill the requirements of the regulation and standards. The updated document proposes to verify that published reference limits are applicable to the laboratory involved. Finally, the strengths and limits of the revised recommendations (especially the selection of the reference population, the maintenance of the analytical quality, the choice of the statistical method used…) will be briefly discussed.
Why Cognitive Linguistics must embrace the social and pragmatic dimensions of language and how it could do so more seriously
Authors: Schmid Hans-Jörg 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
I will argue that the cognitive-linguistic enterprise should step up its efforts to embrace the social and pragmatic dimensions of language. This claim will be derived from a survey of the premises and promise of the cognitive-linguistic approach to the study of language and be defended in more detail on logical and empirical grounds. Key elements of a usage-based emergentist socio-cognitive approach known as Entrenchment-and-Conventionalization Model (Schmid 2014, 2015) will be presented in order to demonstrate how social and pragmatic aspects can be integrated and operationalized in a cognitive-linguistic framework.
Optimizing Parameters of an Optical Link by Using Genetic Algorithms
Authors: Hakim Aoudia , Smail Berrah 
Published: October 2016

AbstractIn this paper, the optimization tool based on Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to improve the different parameters such as the Attenuation and backscatter coefficients of single mode optical fibre (SMF) is proposed. The method of experimental study which is based on the use of an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) to measure and locate different events that occur in an optical fibre in real time is exploited. The experimental results have been compared with theoretical results in order to validate the proposed methods of modelling.
Translators and Interpreters during the Spanish Inquisition
Authors: García-Morales María Goretti 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe Spanish Inquisition has been widely studied and approached from the perspective of different disciplines. However, from the point of view of Traductology, the role translators and interpreters played during that time is very little known. Authors who have published works in English about the Inquisition are numerous and some of them have mentioned interpreters involved in trials, ship registers, confessions, etc. This article collects references in these publications to the figure of language intermediaries, whether they were found among clerics, artisans or traders, to mention but a few of the wide range of professions carried out by those who ended up translating for the inquisitors.
Russian Verbal Aspect as a Problem of German-Russian and Russian-German Translation
Authors: Naiditsch Larissa , Pavlova Anna 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe differences in Russian and German verb systems cause problems in translation. In translation from German one of Russian aspectual forms has to be chosen, whereby, as is shown, several criteria are useful: the right and the left context, the accordance of several verbs in a phrase, and semantic nuances of the verb itself. The problems of translating from Russian into German were treated with the help of an experiment. A questionnaire of Russian sentences was given to bilingual students who were asked to translate them into German. The informants rendered the Russian aspect by lexical means, some of them being close to grammatical but not grammaticalized, sometimes also by the alternations of terminative and cursive verbs.
Überarbeitung der Norm DIN 2335 Sprachenzeichen anhand einheitlicher Kriterien für die Auswahl von Sprachennamen
Authors: Hein Anja 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis article outlines the revision of DIN 2335 standard on language identifiers, which dates back to 1986. The aim of the revision is, for the first time, to standardise language names alongside language identifiers. A list of sources compiled specially for this purpose from which language names with information of relevance to the term or concept have been taken will serve as a basis. Moreover, uniform name selection criteria are developed with a view to making the decision in favour of certain language names transparent and understandable to others. The analysis shows that it is not always possible to strike a balance between a descriptive and a normative approach.
Zur Mehrsprachigkeit in der Schweiz und im schweizerischen Rechtssystem
Authors: Bielawski Paweł 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe article analyses how the Swiss Confederation regulates its multilingualism and the role the official languages play in the legislative and judicial processes of this country. It is proved here that the legislation in Switzerland is not made in all four official languages, hence it depends on translation. Considering that only German and French text versions of Swiss laws are aligned to each other, the article further examines whether the differences existing between the language versions of these legal texts lead to pragmatic divergences. Against this backdrop, the article considers whether the legal system of the multilingual Switzerland can be called multilingual.

Published: October 2016

AbstractThis research study deals with public examinations of translators and interpreters in the German state of Hesse. Since 2012, candidates have completed a semi-structured questionnaire before entering the conclusive oral part of the examination. The purpose is twofold. The questionnaires provide information on the candidates’ social characteristics, education, professional interests and experience, and at the same time are an opportunity to evaluate the examination office and its officials. The key results are presented here, accompanied by a general overview of the languages examined, the number of candidates over the years, and their different success rates.

Topics of spirituality in neonatology – Results from a systematic literature review
Authors: Thiel Michael 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Introduction
The prognosis of preterms and ill newborns has improved substantially during the last decades. Besides conventional methods, additional interventions play an important role in this development. Managing parents' needs under the circumstances of intensive care can be a crucial aspect of dealing with this difficult situation. But data on this group has not been systematically evaluated so far.
Method
We performed a systematic literature review following the PRISMA criteria. Keywords were neonates, neonatology, newborn, preterm, parents, and spirituality. All study types in English and German were included.
Results
After evaluating the abstracts of the initial search results, we considered 33 studies eligible for analysis. Study types are surveys, interviews (qualitative studies), case reports, and reviews. Topics were parents, ethnical differences, medical staff, and palliative care.
Discussion
There is a variety of studies on spirituality in neonatology with a broad spectrum of study types. A meta-analysis is difficult, especially because of the heterogeneity of the study designs, patient numbers and questionnaires used. Although the studies are promising, short-term and long-term outcomes have not been evaluated yet. Interesting endpoints such as the influence on mortality, morbidity and duration of hospital stay cannot be stated. Thus it is too early to derive practical recommendations for the medical staff from these studies.
Conclusion
Although there is a body of data on spirituality in neonatology that addresses several important aspects, even more studies on the impact of parents' needs and the consequences for the medical staff are required.
Scale-Free Neural and Physiological Dynamics in Naturalistic Stimuli Processing
Authors: Lin Amy , Maniscalco Brian , He Biyu J. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractNeural activity recorded at multiple spatiotemporal scales is dominated by arrhythmic fluctuations without a characteristic temporal periodicity. Such activity often exhibits a 1/f-type power spectrum, in which power falls off with increasing frequency following a power-law function:P(f)∝1/fβ, which is indicative of scale-free dynamics. Two extensively studied forms of scale-free neural dynamics in the human brain are slow cortical potentials (SCPs)—the low-frequency (<5 Hz) component of brain field potentials—and the amplitude fluctuations of α oscillations, both of which have been shown to carry important functional roles. In addition, scale-free dynamics characterize normal human physiology such as heartbeat dynamics. However, the exact relationships among these scale-free neural and physiological dynamics remain unclear. We recorded simultaneous magnetoencephalography and electrocardiography in healthy subjects in the resting state and while performing a discrimination task on scale-free dynamical auditory stimuli that followed different scale-free statistics. We observed that long-range temporal correlation (captured by the power-law exponent β) in SCPs positively correlated with that of heartbeat dynamics across time within an individual and negatively correlated with that of α-amplitude fluctuations across individuals. In addition, across individuals, long-range temporal correlation of both SCP and α-oscillation amplitude predicted subjects’ discrimination performance in the auditory task, albeit through antagonistic relationships. These findings reveal interrelations among different scale-free neural and physiological dynamics and initial evidence for the involvement of scale-free neural dynamics in the processing of natural stimuli, which often exhibit scale-free dynamics.

Published: October 2016

Background: Rosuvastatin exhibits anti‐inflammatory effects and reduces periodontal diseases and atherosclerosis; however, its role in regulating periodontopathogen‐induced endothelial proinflammatory responses remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to determine whether rosuvastatin can reduce the proinflammatory response induced by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs).Methods: HCAECs were stimulated with purified Aa serotype b lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Aa‐LPS), heat‐killed (HK) bacteria (Aa‐HK), or live bacteria. Expression of Toll‐like receptors and cellular adhesion molecules were evaluated by fluorometric enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Endothelial cell activation was evaluated by quantifying nuclear factor (NF)‐kappa B‐p65 and cytokine expression levels by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry. Effect of rosuvastatin in expression of the atheroprotective factor Krüppel‐like factor 2 (KLF2) and cytokines were also studied using similar approaches.Results: HCAECs showed increased interleukin (IL)‐6, IL‐8, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 expression when stimulated with Aa‐LPS or Aa‐HK. NF‐κB‐p65 activation was induced by all antigens. Aa‐induced IL‐6 and IL‐8 production was inhibited by rosuvastatin, particularly at higher doses. Interestingly, reduced IL‐6 and IL‐8 levels were observed in HCAECs stimulated with Aa in the presence of higher concentrations of rosuvastatin. This anti‐inflammatory effect correlated with a significant increase of rosuvastatin‐induced KLF2.Conclusions: These results suggest Aa‐induced proinflammatory endothelial responses are regulated by rosuvastatin in a mechanism that appears to involve KLF2 activation. Use of rosuvastatin to prevent cardiovascular disease may reduce risk of endothelial activation by bacterial antigens.
LAND USE CHANGE AND RECOMMENDATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF PEATLAND FOR AGRICULTURE: Case Study at Kubu Raya and Pontianak Districts, West Kalimantan

Published: October 2016

Peatland is an increasingly important land resource for livelihood,<br />economic development, and terrestrial carbon storage. Kubu Raya and Pontianak Districts of West Kalimantan rely their future agricultural development on this environmentally fragile peatland because of the dominance (58% and 16% area, respectively) of this land in the two districts. A study aimed to evaluate land use changes on peatland and to develop strategies for sustainable peatland use and management for agriculture. Time series satellite imageries of land use and land cover,<br />ground truthing, and statistical data of land use change were analyzed for generating the dynamics of land use changes in the period of 1986-2008. Field observation, peat sampling, and peat analyses of representative land use types were undertaken to assess peat characteristics and its agricultural suitability. The study showed that within 22 years (1986-2008), the area of peat forests in Kubu Raya and Pontianak Districts decreased as much as 13.6% from 391,902 ha to 328,078 ha. The current uses of the peatland in the two districts include oil palm plantation (8704 ha), smallholder rubber plantation (13,186 ha), annual crops (15,035 ha), mixed cropping of trees and annual crops (22,328 ha), and pineapple farming (11,744 ha). Our evaluation<br />showed unconformity of the current uses of peatland with regulations and crops agronomic requirements such as peat thickness and maturity, rendering unsustainability. This study recommends that expansion of agriculture and plantation on peatland areas be limited over idle land within the agricultural production and conversion production forest areas. About 34,362 ha (9.7%) of uncultivated log-over forest and shrubs<br />can potentially be developed for agriculture. Peat soils with the thickness of &gt;3 m should be allocated for conservation or forest protection due to low inherent soil fertility and high potential greenhouse gas emissions if converted for agriculture. <br />
CONTROL OF COCOA POD BORER AND PHYTOPHTHORA POD ROT USING DEGRADABLE PLASTIC POD SLEEVES AND A NEMATODE, Steinernema carpocapsae
Authors: Rosmana Ade , Shepard Merle , Hebbar Prakash , Mustari Anita 
Published: October 2016

<p>Cocoa pod borer (CPB; <em>Conopomorpha cramerella</em>) and Phytophthora pod rot (PPR; <em>Phytophthora palmivora</em>) are serious pest and disease on cocoa plantations in Indonesia. Both pest and disease have been controlled with limited success using cultural practices such as pruning, frequent harvesting, sanitation, plastic sleeving, and chemical pesticides. An experiment was conducted on cocoa plantings in Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi during the wet season of 2008/09 to test the effect of pod sleeving (with transparent degradable and non-degradable plastic bags) and nematode application on CPB and PPR infestation. The nematode, <em>Steinernema carpocapsae </em>(10,000 active juveniles per pod) was sprayed three times at intervals of 10 and 20 days. Pod damage by CPB was observed at harvest time, while PPR disease incidence was evaluated every week until harvest time. Results showed that all pods in the field were infested by CPB as indicated in control samples. Pod sleeving using both non-degradable and degradable plastics significantly reduced pod damage by CPB, from 62.3% in the control treatment compared to 8.4% in the CPB treatment. A combination of pod sleeving and nematode application had a synergistic reduction of pod damage by CPB resulting in totally healthy pods. Pod sleeving with degradable and non-degradable plastics also reduced pod damage by PPR significantly. Pod sleeving with non-degradable plastic suppressed the disease incidence almost zero until 6 weeks after sleeving and the rate of disease incidence was 3.6% per week. However, with degradable plastic, the disease suppression was even longer (7 weeks after sleeving), indicating that the degradable plastic is more effective. Combination of sleeving and nematode application slightly increased PPR infection. Sleeved pods in general had lower rates of PPR infection compared to pods treated with nematode or untreated pods (control). In these two applications, the rate of disease incidence was 7.8% and 8.3% per week respectively. The study implies that biological control using entomopathogenic <em>S. carpocapsae </em>and degradable plastic sleeves are effective and environmentally-friendly to control <em>C. cramerella </em>and <em>P. palmivora
COMBINING EFFECTS OF CULTURAL PRACTICES AND RESISTANT CULTIVARS ON REDUCING THE INCIDENCE OF Meloidogyne spp. AND Thrips palmy Karny ON POTATO

Published: October 2016

Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) and melon thrips (Thrips palmy Karny) are two serious pests on potato. These pests are conventionally controlled with synthetic pesticides. Cultural practices based on integrated pest management (IPM) are alternative methods to control these pests. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of combined applications of cultural practices and potato cultivars in reducing the incidences of nematode and thrips. Treatments evaluated were methods of nematode and thrips control by implementing IPM and conventional practices. A split-plot randomized complete block design with four replications was sed. The main plots were IPM or cultural practices (subsoiling, soil solarization and use of trap crop of marigold Tagetes erecta) and conventional practices using synthetic pesticides. The subplots were five potato cultivars, i.e. No. 095 (Herta x FLS–17), 720050/Kikondo, 676068/<br />I.1085, Granola, and Atlantic. The results showed that applications of cultural practices in combination with potato cultivars reduced Meloidogyne spp. population and potato tuber damage by 53.70% and 61.36%, respectively, as well as a significantly decreased thrips population. In the cultural control plots, thrips populations were below the action threshold (10.0 nymphs per leaf), therefore no single application of pesticide was used. This was in contrast to the conventional control treatments where insecticide was spayed 10 times until harvest. The subsoiling and solarization cut off the life cycle of the thrips and any survive thrips were trapped by marigold plant. Population of T. palmi<br />on the five potato cultivars differed significantly; the lowest population was found on the cultivars No. 095 (Herta x FLS-17) and 676068/I.1085. The cultural control practices combined with potato cultivar No. 095 (Herta x FLS–17) were the best treatment for controlling Meloidogyne spp. and T. palmi on potato and also produced the highest yield (31.01 t ha-1). The study suggests that cultural control practices in combination with resistant cultivars are recommended as a suitable IPM t
