No Longer and Not Yet
Authors: Hollis Edward 
Published: January 2016

The forest of Kilmahew, around twenty miles west of Glasgow, conceals an architectural cautionary tale. In the 1960’s, the landscape was radically transformed by a building. St Peter’s seminary was built to house around a hundred catholic novices. Its plan and section, the work of the architects Gillespie Kidd and Coia, were a rigorous statement of the modernist maxim that form follows function. But within a decade, there were not enough priests to fill it; and St Peter’s became a form without a function. That was 1987, and since then it has resisted numerous attempts to provide it with a new one: designed as closely as it was to a specific programme, the building remains empty, and derelict. It is no longer what it used to be, and not yet what it can be. The caution is simple: design a building programmatically, and you’ll end up with a ruin.
This author has been involved since the Venice Biennale of 2010 with a new proposal for St Peter’s led by the Glasgow arts collective NVA (Nacionale Vitae Activa). We have no images of what it will look like, or when it will be ready. St Peter’s isn’t going to be restored any time soon. Instead, we propose to leave the building perpetually incomplete – both ruin and building site. It’s a model of what all buildings should be: they are, in environmental terms, expensive. We shouldn’t be building more of them, but rather, exploiting and transforming the ones we already have, again and again. St Peter’s was originally designed to teach moral lessons, but now it presents a different ethical challenge. This article will narrate NVA’s proposals, and set them in the context of the modernist ethics they question, arguing for a different discourse, of suspension in time – in being no longer and not yet.
Framing the Real: Lefèbvre and Neo-Realist Cinematic Space as Practice
Authors: Brancaleone David 
Published: January 2016

In 1945 Roberto Rossellini’s Neo-realist Rome, Open City set in motion an approach to cinema and its representation of real life – and by extension real spaces – that was to have international significance in film theory and practice. However, the re-use of the real spaces of the city, and elsewhere, as film sets in Neo-realist film offered (and offers) more than an influential aesthetic and set of cinematic theories. Through Neo-realism, it can be argued that we gain access to a cinematic relational and multidimensional space that is not made from built sets, but by filming the built environment. On the one hand, this space allows us to “notice” the contradictions around us in our cities and, by extension, the societies that have produced those cities, while on the other, allows us to see the spatial practices operative in the production and maintenance of those contradictions.
In setting out a template for understanding the spatial practices of Neo-realism through the work of Henri Lefèbvre, this paper opens its films, and those produced today in its wake, to a spatio-political reading of contemporary relevance. We will suggest that the rupturing of divisions between real spaces and the spaces of film locations, as well the blurring of the difference between real life and performed actions for the camera that underlies much of the central importance of Neo-realism, echoes the arguments of Lefèbvre with regard the social production of space. In doing so, we will suggest that film potentially had, and still has, a vital role to play in a critique of contemporary capitalist spatial practices.

Abstract
The aim of the current study is to assess the level of satisfaction towards pharmaceutical services among Romanian customers. Moreover, we were interested in building the socio-demographical profile of a Romanian satisfied customer. The study has a transversal design and uses a quantitative approach. Data was collected at the national level in June 2012 by using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) and resulted in 1,478 valid questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were performed in order to properly present the sample of interest according to socio-demographic characteristics, as well as general attitudes towards pharmaceutical market. According to our analysis, only half of the respondents have a favorite pharmacy (50,4%). Regarding their level of satisfaction, the majority of respondents (53%) declared themselves as being quite satisfied with the pharmacy that they usually collaborate with, whereas 42% of respondents are very satisfied with their favorite pharmacies. According to our analysis, the most satisfied customer has the following socio-demographic characteristics: female (N=351), aged between 56 and 70 years old (N=259), having high school as the highest level of education (N=184), living in an urban area (N=343), having a monthly income of 501-1000 RON (N=217), married (N=396), having no chronic disease (N=312), having a family composed of two members (N=185). Customer’s satisfaction represents a personal evaluation on the pharmaceutical services and providers and is an essential part of the quality of health care. Therefore, it is vital to assess the customer’s expectation and satisfaction in order to ensure the success of the pharmaceutical company.
Risk Management in Clinical Laboratory: from Theory to Practice
Authors: Eliza David Remona , Minodora Dobreanu 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Clinical laboratory tests ensure approximately 70% of the medical decisions, so that the time until the release of the results and its accuracy are critical for the diagnosis and the efficiency of the treatment [1]. Risk management involves both the anticipation of what could happen erroneous and the assessment of errors’ frequency as well as the consequences or the severity of the effects caused by it, and finally to decide what can be done in order to reduce the risk to an acceptable clinical level. For this reason, organizations should not see the risk management as a compliance issue, but as an integral part of the decision-making process. EP23-A is a guideline of CLSI that introduces the risk management principles in the clinical laboratory and encourages the laboratories to develop plans of risk management which are addressed to the risks of each laboratory. EP18-A2 proposes 2 techniques for identifying and controlling the errors in the laboratory: FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System). The European Committee of Experts and Management of Safety and Quality in Health Care proposed to use the quality indicators to identify the critical stages of each process, thus being possible to assess continuously the medical processes with the aim of identifying the errors when they occur. This review summarizes the principles of the risk management in the clinical laboratory, thus it can achieve its aims to report valid, accurate and reliable test results
Tips and Tricks to Manage Vascular Risks Using the Transnasal Endoscopic Approach to Pituitary Adenomas
Authors: Rareş Chinezu , Moncef Berhouma , Timothée Jacquesson , Gerard Raverot , Emmanuel Jouanneau 
Published: January 2016

Abstract

Objective: The purely transnasal endoscopic approach has taken in the last decade a paramount importance in the treatment of pituitary adenomas, but some authors have been linked it to an increase in vascular complications. The aim of this paper is to provide a stepwise description of the vascular risks and steps required to avoid them.

Method: We present the minimal invasive technique used by the senior author in over 900 transnasal purely endoscopic approaches focusing on the relevant vascular landmarks, preoperative and operative steps taken in order to avoid vascular injury and the management of vascular injury from a multitude of sources.

Conclusion: Endoscopy has brought a wider field of view, with numerous vascular structures well inside the operating field. This represents control but also higher risk. Solid knowledge of the skull base anatomy and proper preoperative imaging coupled with an experienced surgeon can greatly reduce the vascular risks associated with surgery.
Automatische Identifikation und Selektion von untypischen Daten
Authors: Trommer Maria , Wenzel Andreas 
Published: January 2016

Zusammenfassung
Der Dichte-Lage Datenfilter, kurz DiLa-Filter, ist als neuartiger Datenbearbeitungsalgorithmus für die Klassifikation von
Elektroenzephalogramm (EEG)-Daten durch Support-Vektor-Maschinen (SVM) entwickelt worden, aber auch für eine Vielzahl anderer
Problemstellungen anwendbar. Der neuartige Algorithmus wird dazu eingesetzt, untypische Datensätze aus der Trainingsdatenmenge einer
SVM zu entfernen und hierdurch die Generalisierungsfähigkeit der resultierenden Klassifikatoren deutlich zu steigern. Untersuchungen an
realen EEG-Daten belegen die Verbesserung der Modelle durch die mittels DiLa-Filter modifizierten Trainingsdaten.
Nicht-konservative weich strukturvariable Regelungen mit invers-polynomialen Selektionsstrategien
Authors: Röthig Andreea , Adamy Jürgen 
Published: January 2016

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag stellt notwendige und hinreichende Existenzbedingungen weich strukturvariabler Regelungen mit invers-polynomialen
Selektionsstrategien für lineare Strecken mit einer Eingangsgröße und Stellgrößenbeschränkung vor. Das resultierende Regelgesetz wird
bezüglich einer Ljapunov-Funktion-basierten unteren Grenze der Konvergenzrate optimiert. Der konvergenzoptimale Regler ist ein
Zweipunktregler mit einer einfachen parameterabhängigen Selektionsstrategie. Ein sättigender High-Gain-Regler wird als stetige
Approximation dieses Regelgesetzes vorgestellt. Dieser vermeidet die Nachteile des unstetigen Regelgesetzes auf Kosten einer
suboptimalen Konvergenzrate.
2D Video Stabilization for Industrial High-Speed Cameras
Authors: Nikolov Atanas , Dimov Dimo 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
The current research concerns the problem of video stabilization “in a point”, which aims to stabilize all video frames according to one chosen reference frame to produce a new video, as by a static camera. Similar task importance relates providing static background in the video sequence that can be usable for correct measurements in the frames when studying dynamic objects in the video. For this aim we propose an efficient combined approach, called “3×3OF9×9”. It fuses our the previous development for fast and rigid 2D video stabilization [2] with the well-known Optical Flow approach, applied by parts via Otsu segmentation, for eliminating the influence of moving objects in the video. The obtained results are compared with those, produced by the commercial software Warp Stabilizer of Adobe-After-Effects CS6.
The existence of negative correlation between linguistic measures across languages
Authors: Coloma Germán 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThis paper proposes a procedure to evaluate the possible existence of negative correlation between three language ratios (phonemes per syllable, syllables per word, and words per clause), based on a synergetic linguistics’ approach. It uses partial correlation coefficients and simultaneous-equation regressions, and the analysis is performed on data obtained from the fable “The North Wind and the Sun”, translated into 50 languages. After controlling for phenomena related to geographic and genetic factors, we end up with the conclusion that the three ratios are negatively correlated between themselves, and this can be seen as a signal of the possible existence of complexity trade-offs.

Published: January 2016

Abstract
In this paper, we consider finite difference methods for two-dimensional quasilinear parabolic problems with mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary conditions. Some strong two-side estimates for the difference solution are provided and convergence results in the discrete norm are proved.
Numerical examples illustrate the good performance of the proposed numerical approach.
Fenestrate Bryozoans in the Acanthopyge Limestone (Eifelian) in the Barrandian Area (Czech Republic)
Authors: Mergl Michal 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
The first occurrence of fenestrate bryozoans is reported from the Acanthopyge Limestone (Eifelian) in the Koněprusy area of the Czech Republic. Fragmented zoaria have been identified in lightgrey crinoidal-limestone rich with brachiopods, corals, and stromatoporoids. Several species of fenestrates are evident, but poor preservation and fragmentation of zoaria allow only approximate taxonomic determination. The fenestrates, Fenestella sp., Laxifenestella (?) sp., Hemitrypa sp., Polyporella sp., Ptylopora sp., and Reteporina sp., are illustrated and briefly described. The presence of fenestrates has a great palaeoenvironmental significance. Fenestrates together with brachiopods, stromatopoids, and corals indicate a high-energy reef environment on the Koněprusy submarine elevation in the upper Eifelian. Morphology of fenestrates and high morphological disparity of brachiopods are remarkably similar to the faunas of the Pragian age in the Koněprusy area suggesting a similar reef environment. The upper Eifelian age of the locality is evidenced by conodonts of the Tortodus kockelianus Zone.
Research on the reduction of Guizhou oolitic hematite by hydrogen
Authors: Run Huang , Bi Shanshan , Liu Pengsheng , Xu Benjun , Zhang Jinzhu 
Published: January 2016

AbstractOolitic hematite abounds in the Guizhou Province of China but is hard to use with the traditional process. The reduction of Guizhou oolitic hematite by H2was studied. Ore microscopy, phase change, and the metallization rate of oolitic hematite under different reduction conditions were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and chemical analysis, respectively. The metallization ratio of the reduced sample increased with the increase of reduction time. The metallization ratio reached 80.75% when the temperature was 1000°C and the reduction time was 120 min. The new phases of FeAl2O4and Fe2SiO4can be generated during the reduction process, which hindered the reduction of the oolitic hematite.

Authors: Salmanian Maryam , Ghobari-Bonab Bagher , Alavi Seyyed-Salman , Jokarian Ali-Akbar , Mohammadi Mohammad-Reza 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Background: Conduct disorder is characterized by aggressive behaviors, deceitfulness or theft, destruction of property and serious violations of rules prior to age 18 years. The object relations theory provides an integrative model to understand the problems of conduct disorder, and proposes that child-caregiver relationships develop the internal working models of self and others. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship difficulties of Iranian adolescents with conduct disorder.
Methods: This study was a qualitative directed content analysis research. The in-depth interview was conducted with nine male adolescents aged 12–17 years who had conduct disorder with or without substance use disorder at the reformatory in Tehran. All tape-recorded data were fully transcribed and analyzed.
Results: The relations with different objects including parents, siblings, relatives, friends, peers, teachers, other school members, colleagues and employers were analyzed, and four themes were extracted: 1) Object relations based on insecurity and fear; 2) Object relations based on inability and abjection; 3) Object relations based on pessimism and mistrust; 4) Object relations based on non-maintenance of boundaries and limits.
Conclusion: The importance of object relations and attachment problems in adolescents with conduct disorder, and their need to participate in special intervention programs should be reconsidered.
Determination of Volatiles in Ham by Gas Chromatography with Olfactory Detection
Authors: Dang Yali , Liu Zhu , Gao Xianfeng , Gao Xinchang , Cao Jinxuan , Bao Guoliang 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
The aroma-active compounds of Jinhua ham were analyzed after isolation using simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) and solid phase microextraction (SPME). In spite of the remarkable similarity between the dry-cured hams, the technological potential of combinations of both has never been explored before. Results show that 2, 6-dimethyl-pyrazine, hexanal, 2-heptanone, ethyl acetate and 2-pentyl-furan made the predominant contribution to the aroma of Jinhua ham. In fact, 28 volatile compounds were extracted using SDE, with cured, toasted, fatty and fried odors playing important roles in the “boiled ham”. At the same time, 29 volatile compounds with cured, sulfurous alliaceous and spicy herbaceous flavor were the main contributors to the ham odor. Furthermore, the contribution of each aroma-active component to the whole ham flavor profile was evaluated by aroma extract dilution analysis. The 2, 6-dimethyl-pyrazine and 3-(methylthio)-propanal was identified as the most intense aroma-active compounds of Jinhua ham due to their high log2 (FD-factor) and characteristic aroma.

Published: January 2016

Abstract

Background: The widespread misuse of antibiotics over the past several decades has been regarded as the contributing factor in the development of resistance toward them. Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are enzymes produced by certain bacteria that can make them resistant to certain antibiotics. Early detection of ESBL strains and judicious use of antibiotics and proper implementation of infection control strategies are essential to prevent the spread of this threat in the community. The study aimed at appraising the prevalence, risk factors and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of ESBL-producing microorganisms.

Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out in a tertiary care referral hospital located in Malappuram district of Kerala among inpatients with infection by ESBL-producing bacteria in order to estimate the prevalence, risk factors and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern.

Results: Out of the total 1156 patients studied, 118 had confirmed diagnosis on the presence of ESBL-producing microorganisms. Overall, 9.79% of all samples growing Enterobacteriaceae yielded an ESBL producer. Out of the total isolates identified, 66.1% were urinary tract infections, 15.1% were respiratory tract infections, 14.4% were surgical site infections and the remaining constituted blood stream infections. The highest antimicrobial activity against ESBL-producing isolates was observed for meropenem.

Conclusions: High prevalence of ESBL-producing organisms is evident in the study setting implicating the necessity to report the ESBL production along with the routine sensitivity reports supplemented with control measures which can assist a clinician in prescribing appropriate antibiotics.
In-vitro allergy diagnostics
Authors: Renz Harald 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
In vitro allergy diagnostics is rapidly advancing. This is primarily due to the development of component-based diagnostic tools. The availability of allergen components now allows a more precise and patient-tailored diagnostics, which has implications for therapeutic strategies including decision about specific immunotherapy. Furthermore, differential diagnostics of food intolerances and food allergies is also advancing because of this novel test. Another area of advancement is cellular diagnostics, which is primarily based on basophile activation tests. These recent developments will be discussed in this article.
Stepwise diagnostic procedure for the analysis of pathological changes of leukocytes
Authors: Diem Heinz , Nebe Thomas , Bettelheim Peter 
Published: January 2016

Abstract:
The automated analysis of changes of white blood cells and their differential has become a high-throughput laboratory investigation done by hematology analyzers. The subsequent step of manual review of a stained blood film by light microscopy by an experienced investigator is laborious and expensive and has insufficient reimbursement. However, this is the decisive step and basis for very expensive specialized diagnostics like cytogenetics and molecular genetics. The strategy for a stepwise diagnostic procedure plays an important role at this stage. A new proposal is presented here.
Diagnostics of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
Authors: Germing Ulrich , Haferlach Torsten 
Published: January 2016

Abstract:
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are clonal malignant diseases of the hematopoietic stem cell. They are diagnosed mainly in elderly cytopenic patients and are characterized by a heterogeneous course of the disease. The diagnosis is based on blood and marrow cytology, chromosomal examination, and histology of the marrow, taking into account the degree of dysplasia, peripheral and medullary blast count, and cytogenetic findings according to the proposals of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. The assessment of cytologic findings is important because the different types of MDS differ in terms of prognosis and therapeutic considerations. Acute myeloid leukemias are discriminated from MDS according to the blast counts in the bone marrow or peripheral blood (≥20%). Diagnosis is based on morphology and cytogenetics, and histology is also important. In addition, immunophenotyping and molecular investigations are needed. Information derived from cytogenetics and molecular markers play an important role for prognostication. Minimal residual disease can be best investigated using immunophenotyping and measurement of molecular markers.
Writing systems as modular objects: proposals for theory design in grapholinguistics
Authors: Neef Martin 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThis paper gives an outline of the Modular Theory of Writing Systems by answering the question: what are the elements or modules that are necessary for a writing system to work? A writing system is a notational system for a natural language. Based on this characterization, it is obvious that a necessary component of a writing system is a specific language system. What eventually constitutes a writing system in addition to this language system is a device that, put simply, relates units of a language system to units of a script. This component is termed ‘graphematics’ in the present framework and is regarded as a necessary module of a writing system. Above that, another typical component of writing systems, namely ‘systematic orthography’, applies to the ‘graphematic solution space’ and restricts the spelling possibilities of specific words in accordance to their belonging to a specific level of the vocabulary of the language. Supplemented by reflections on the status of scripts as well as of IPA as a writing system, an answer is finally given to the pertinent question how spoken language and written language are related to each other. The answer is that this relation is of a considerably indirect nature.
