Collaborative Relationships Among Couples: Frames of Interaction During Everyday Household Activities
Authors: Arcidiacono Francesco 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThe analysis of collaborative exchanges of couples during their household activities is at the core of this paper. Although the management of responsibilities around household tasks is a potential source of contention within the decision-making process about home activities, another complementary perspective considers practices of communication during household activities as ways to build or reinforce the family educational processes. Our goal is to capture these daily interactions as indicators of collaborative relationships among couples, exemplifying how communicative exchanges contribute to the creation of frames for family participation in routines. In the first part of the paper, a review of issues regarding the division of labor within the family setting will be introduced in order to examine how these aspects relate to the ongoing negotiation of responsibilities and expectations between women and men. Thereafter, the methodological design of the study will be presented, as well as the qualitative analysis of data based on the argumentative topic model. A discussion of participants’ responsibilities in household tasks will be presented as indicators of their collaborative relationships during everyday activities. Lastly, implications for family studies will be highlighted in order to illustrate how family members ascribe meanings during routines.
Analytical Model of the Anisotropic Dimensional Change on Sintering of Ferrous PM Parts
Authors: Cristofolini I. , Corsentino N. , Larsson M. , Molinari A. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
This work proposes an analytical model developed from experimental data to describe the anisotropic dimensional change on sintering. Axial-symmetric iron parts differing for geometry and sintering conditions have been investigated, aiming at highlighting the influence of geometry. The specimens were measured in the green and sintered state by a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The dimensional changes of height, external diameter and internal diameter were derived from measurement results. The anisotropy of the dimensional variations has been studied with reference to the isotropic dimensional change derived from the change in volume of the parts. The influence of geometry and sintering temperature was highlighted. To properly describe the dimensional variations in the compaction plane, the dimensional change of the external diameter versus the dimensional change of the internal one has been analysed. By means of the experimental data, a reliable analytical relationship has been found, dependent on the parts geometry. An anisotropy parameter has been identified, which allows relating the dimensional change in the compaction plane and in the axial direction to the isotropic dimensional change. This parameter depends both on geometry and on sintering conditions. By means of the anisotropy parameter an analytical model for the anisotropic behaviour has been developed.
Off-record politeness in Sophocles: The patterned dialogues of female characters
Authors: Catrambone Marco 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThis paper tests the applicability of Brown and Levinson’s concept of off-record politeness on a specific sub-set of patterned dialogues in Sophocles’ extant tragedies, i.e., those involving the participation of female speakers. Brown and Levinson’s framework still provides the most suitable model for empirical analysis, but with refinements concerning the interrelation between emic and etic politeness, the notion of face, the extension of analysis to longer stretches of conversation, and the absolute ranking of the super-strategies. The survey suggests that a strict connection between the use of off record and the mitigation of FTAs can be established quite straightforwardly and that the hearer’s reactions to off record can help to identify the valid instances of the phenomenon. Moreover, it is argued that (a) female speakers frequently resort to off record, most notably in cross-sex interactions with men invested with high power; (b) few restricted categories of male speakers, i.e., strangers and lower-status characters, do use off-record politeness towards women; (c) off record in same-sex interactions among female characters is limited to when the imposition is of extraordinary seriousness.

Abstract
The formation of ternary Mg-UO2-CO3 complexes under weakly alkaline pH conditions was investigated by time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and compared to Ca-UO2-CO3 complexes. The presence of two different Mg-UO2-CO3 complexes was identified by means of two distinct fluorescence lifetimes of 17±2 ns and 51±2 ns derived from the multi-exponential decay of the fluorescence signal. Slope analysis in terms of fluorescence intensity coupled with fluorescence intensity factor as a function of log [Mg(II)] was conducted for the identification of the Mg-UO2-CO3 complexes forming. For the first time, the formation of both MgUO2(CO3)3
2− and Mg2UO2(CO3)3(aq) species was confirmed and the corresponding equilibrium constants were determined as log β0
113=25.8±0.3 and log β0
213=27.1±0.6, respectively. Complementarily, fundamental structural information for both Ca-UO2-CO3 and Mg-UO2-CO3 complexes was gained by extended EXAFS revealing very similar structures between these two species, except for the clearly shorter U-Mg distance (3.83 Å) compared with U-Ca distance (4.15 Å). These results confirmed the inner-sphere character of the Ca/Mg-UO2-CO3 complexes. The formation constants determined for MgUO2(CO3)3
2− and Mg2UO2(CO3)3(aq) species indicate that ternary Mg-UO2-CO3 complexes contribute to the relevant uranium species in carbonate saturated solutions under neutral to weakly alkaline pH conditions in the presence of Mg(II) ions, which will induce notable influences on the U(VI) chemical species under seawater conditions.

Published: November 2016

Abstract

Introduction. Traditionally, the body mass index (BMI) is used to describe anthropometric measurements and to assess weight-related health risks. However, the abdominal circumference (AC) might also be a valuable parameter to estimate this risk. This study aims to describe an association between the BMI and the AC.

Material and Methods. Participants were recruited during the Brussels Food Fair in 2014. They completed a questionnaire with their medical history, and health related parameters such as blood pressure, weight, height and AC were measured.

Results. In total, 705 participants were analyzed. Men had a mean BMI of 27.3 kg/m2 and a mean AC of 98.7 cm. Women had a mean BMI of 26.0 kg/m2 and a mean AC of 88.2 cm. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient between the BMI and the AC was 0.91 for men and 0.88 for women. There was a strong positive correlation between the BMI and the AC. In the identification of patients at high risk for weight-related diseases, the use of the AC identified more patients than the BMI. Especially more women were ranking in a higher risk class with the AC than with the BMI classification. Both the BMI as well as the AC identified most diseases with an increased relative risk.

Conclusion. There is a strong correlation between the BMI and the AC. There are too few arguments to prefer the use of AC above the BMI to detect people at high risk for weight-related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Polymorphisms for genes encoding chemosensitive signalling proteins like NOS2 might contribute to the variability in individual susceptibility to nasal polyposis. NO produced by the inducible NO synthase enzyme NOS2A is generated at high levels in certain types of inflammation, so that the role of NOS2 might also be important in nasal polyposis etiopathogeny.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. This is a cross-sectional, randomized, case-control study for the evaluation of the frequency of -954G/C NOS2A2 alleles among patients with nasal polyposis. The study included 91 cases of nasal polyposis diagnosed patients (nasal endoscopy and CT scan examination), and 117 healthy unrelated controls. NOS2 genotyping was carried out using PCR amplification of relevant gene fragment and it was followed by restriction enzyme digestion. Detection of the variant alleles was determined through analysis of resulting restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) followed by gel electrophoresis.
RESULTS. Molecular analysis revealed an increased frequency of NOS2 variant allele in the study group compared to the control group (p=0.019, OR=1.991, CI=1.08-3.67). A statistically significant finding was highlighted among allergic and nonallergic patients with nasal polyposis (p=0.046, OR=0.449. CI=0.208-0.969) and a relationship between nasal polyposis patients with asthma and non-asthmatic patients (p=0.119, OR=1.825, CI=0.875-3.80).
CONCLUSION. The main finding of our study is that -954G/C polymorphism of NOS gene seems to be associated with an increased risk for nasal polyposis.
Random analysis of bearing capacity of square footing using the LAS procedure

Published: November 2016

AbstractIn the present paper, a three-dimensional problem of bearing capacity of square footing on random soil medium is analyzed. The random fields of strength parameters c and φ are generated using LAS procedure (Local Average Subdivision, Fenton and Vanmarcke 1990). The procedure used is re-implemented by the authors in Mathematica environment in order to combine it with commercial program. Since the procedure is still tested the random filed has been assumed as one-dimensional: the strength properties of soil are random in vertical direction only.Individual realizations of bearing capacity boundary-problem with strength parameters of medium defined the above procedure are solved using FLAC3D Software. The analysis is performed for two qualitatively different cases, namely for the purely cohesive and cohesive-frictional soils. For the latter case the friction angle and cohesion have been assumed as independent random variables. For these two cases the random square footing bearing capacity results have been obtained for the range of fluctuation scales from 0.5 m to 10 m. Each time 1000 Monte Carlo realizations have been performed. The obtained results allow not only the mean and variance but also the probability density function to be estimated. An example of application of this function for reliability calculation has been presented in the final part of the paper.
The topology of overlapping portfolio networks
Authors: Guo Weilong , Minca Andreea , Wang Li 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
This paper analyzes the topology of the network of common asset holdings, where nodes represent managed portfolios and edge weights capture the impact of liquidations. Asset holdings data is extracted from the 13F filings. We consider the degree centrality as the degree in the subnetwork of weak links, where weak links are those that lead to significant liquidations. We explore the applications of this network representation to clustering and forecasting. To validate the weight attribution and the threshold used to define the weak links, we show that the degree centrality is correlated with excess returns, and is significant after we control for the Carhart four factors. The network of weak links has a scale free structure, similar to financial networks of balance sheet exposures. Moreover,
a small number of clusters, densely linked, concentrate a significant proportion of the portfolios.

Redstart Bird (Passeriformes, Muscicapidae) with Non-Typical Plumage — Interspecific Hybrid or Eastern Subspecies in Fauna of Ukraine
Authors: Fesenko H. V. , Shybanov S. Yu. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
A redstart male in plumage resembling that of the Common Redstart, Phoenicurus phoenicurus (Linnaeus, 1758), but with black throat extending downwards the central part of the breast was recorded in Dnipro City (Central Prydniprovia, i. e. Central Ukraine) in April, 2014. Song, calls and behavior of the male were typical of the Black Redstart, Phoenicurus ochruros (Gmelin 1774). The male was breeding with the Black Redstart female and successfully reared two nestlings. Both adults were captured and examined. The male with unusual colors of plumage exhibited strong resemblance to phenotype of males from the subspecies phoenicuroides of Black Redstart. Examination of specimens belonging to the subspecies in collection of Zoological Museum (NMHH of NAS of Ukraine) revealed that according to wingtip formula, the non-typical male is also similar to those of that race, in particular ones from Tyva (situated on border between the Upper Yenisei region and Mongolia). However, some plumage characters (signs of white color on emargination of outer web on some tertials and secondaries as trait of the subspecies gibraltariensis of the Black Redstart, as well as whitish belly and paler rufous color on lower breast and underparts as peculiarities of the Common Redstart) seem to indicate hybrid origin of the recorded male. The redstart male exhibiting both traits of the Common Redstart and Black Redstart was found for the first time in all period of expansion of gibraltariensis subspecies from west border of Ukraine eastwards and southwards.

Summary:
The cosmetic vase Durham EG3995, probably from the Early Dynastic period, was reused by a high military commander as a votive in the time of Apries. In its inscription, an anonymous person asks Sakhmet/Hathor, possibly during a ceremony by which the vessel was consecrated for use in the temple, to reward the General for his donation with royal favour and a good reputation. The military title mr
mnfyt of the donor and the meaning of mnfꜢt/mnfyt is discussed: the mnfyt were probably troops transported by ship.
Georg Steindorff, Heinrich Schäfer und Thomas Mann
Authors: Voss Kern Susanne 
Published: November 2016

Summary:
The discovery of a letter written on 12th August 1943 by Thomas Mann to Georg Steindorff provides new insights about the contacts of the author of the ‘Joseph’ novels to Egyptologists. These were not limited to his pre-emigration Munich environment and his acquaintance with Wilhelm Spiegelberg, as previously thought, but also included Heinrich Schäfer who probably contributed to Mann’s conception of the tetralogy. The author’s letter to Steindorff, post-dating the completion of the final volume in the series, is the first evidence of any connection between them.

Wegen unserer Sünden gestorben? Neue Zugänge zur soteriologischen Bedeutung des Todes Jesu
Authors: Fontana Leandro Luis Bedin 
Published: November 2016

Morto por Nossos Pecados? Novas Perspectivas do Significado Soteriológico da Morte de JesusO artigo retoma a famosa controvérsia entre os renomados teólogos alemães Magnus Striet e Jan-Heiner Tück acerca do sentido soteriológico da morte de Jesus, ocorrida em 2012, e procura avançar na reflexão teológica. Tendo em vista alguns desenvolvimentos anômalos do discurso cristão sobre a morte de Jesus como a hipostatização da dor e do sofrimento, o artigo sugere uma criteriologia para tratar de temas teológicos pertinentes a essa questão tais como as noções de expiação, pecado e vicariedade. O critério decisivo para uma hermenêutica adequada do sentido soteriológico da morte de Jesus é – assim propõe o artigo – a unidade entre a pluralidade de interpretações neotestamentárias de sua morte e o relato de sua vida e de sua mensagem.
PROSPEK PEMANFAATAN RUMPUT LAUT SEBAGAI BAHAN PUPUK ORGANIK
Authors: Basmal Jamal 
Published: November 2016

Rumput laut tidak hanya dapat digunakan sebagai bahan pangan tetapi juga dapat digunakan sebagai pupuk organik karena rumput laut banyak mengandung trace mineral (Fe, B, Ca, Cu, Cl, K, Mg, dan Mn) dan juga zat pengatur tumbuh (ZPT) seperti auksin, sitokinin, dan giberilin yang berguna untuk memacu pertumbuhan dan meningkatkan produksi tanaman. Kandungan ZPT tersebut banyak terdapat pada thallus (batang) rumput laut dan juga di dalam SAP (konsentrat cair yang mengandung ZPT dan mineral yang berasal dari dalam thallus/xylemcells tanaman) rumput laut. Keistimewaan rumput laut sebagai pupuk organik adalah kandungan ZPT nya yang dapat meningkatkan produksi buah, sayuran, bunga, serta memperpanjang usia tanaman. Di samping itu, ZPT juga dapat meningkatkan daya tahan tanaman dari kekeringan, serangan serangga, dan memperbaiki struktur tanah. Penggunaan rumput laut sebagai bahan dasar pupuk saat ini belum banyak dimanfaatkan, sementara estimasi produksi rumput laut Sargassum sp. dan Eucheuma sp. sebesar 482.400 ton/thn. Apabila produksi tersebut terdiri dari 50% Sargassum sp. yang selama ini belum dimanfaatkan dan digunakan sebagai pupuk maka akan dapat mensubstitusi pupuk kimia sebanyak 242.200 Metric Ton (MT), sedangkan dari rumput laut Eucheuma sp. dengan estimasi produksi 242.200 MT dapat menghasilkan 30% cairan SAP atau setara dengan 72.660 L pupuk cair.
PROSPEK PENGEMBANGAN USAHA PENGOLAHAN PEMPEK PALEMBANG
Authors: Suryaningrum Theresia Dwi , Muljanah Ijah 
Published: November 2016

Pempek merupakan makanan khas Palembang yang sudah dikenal luas secara nasional sebagai makanan yang gurih dan bergizi. Pempek pertama kali dibuat dengan menggunakan ikan belida (Notopterus sp) atau ikan gabus (Ophiocephalus sp), yaitu ikan asli sungai Musi yang mempunyai daging putih dan rasa gurih yang khas. Namun karena sumberdaya kedua jenis ikan tersebut semakin langka, sekarang pempek dibuat dari ikan sungai maupun ikan laut. Di pasaran ada 2 jenis pempek yaitu pempek basah dan pempek kering. Pada prinsipnya pengolahan pempek terdiri atas pembersihan dan pemfiletan ikan, pelumatan daging, pengadukan adonan, pencetakan dan pemasakan, sedangkan untuk pempek kering diperlukan satu tahap lagi yaitu pengeringan dengan menggunakan alat pengering mekanik. Alat pengering mekanik pempek yang dirancang oleh Balai Besar Riset Pengolahan Produk dan Bioteknologi Kelautan dan Perikanan Jakarta berupa kabinet yang dilengkapi dengan rak dan sumber panas berasal dari gas elpiji. Kelemahan dari pempek kering adalah perlu direhidrasi (direndam dalam air) dan direbus kembali sebelum disajikan. Usaha pengolahan pempek cukup prospektif, pangsa pasarnya cukup luas karena digemari oleh sebagian besar masyarakat, teknologi pengolahannya sederhana, bahan bakunya mudah diperoleh serta keuntungan yang diperoleh cukup menjanjikan. Oleh karena itu pengembangan usaha pengolahan pempek Palembang merupakan alternatif sebagai mata pencaharian dalam krisis ekonomi global saat ini.
