Authors: Jassbi Amir Reza , Zare Mehdi , Jamebozorgi Fatemeh Heidary 
Published: November 2017

Background:The essential oil and three solvent extracts of the aerial parts ofScaligeria nodosa(Boiss.) that were collected in Bamu Mountains (Iran), were screened for their antioxidant, antimicrobial properties and total phenolic contents for the first time.Methods:The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC flame ionization detector (GC-FID).Results:Forty five components were identified in the oil, among them, germacrene D (18.1±0.1%), bicyclogermacrene (1.4±0.0%), and spathunelnol (2.7±0.0%) were the major sesquiterpenoids,n-tetradecanol (4.9±0.0%) was the most abundant fatty alcohol and diisobuthyl phthalate (43.9±0.2%) was the most abundant constituent. The extracts of aerial parts ofSc. nodosawere prepared using different solvents; dichloromethane (DCM), methanol (MeOH) and MeOH: H2O (80:20). Antibacterial activity of the oil and each solvent extract was tested against three Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacteria by nutrient broth micro dilution method. Among the tested microorganisms,Staphylococcus epidermidis(IC501.25-5mg/ml),Bacillus subtilis(IC501.25mg/ml) andEscherichia coli(IC501.25mg/ml) were the most susceptible to the applied oils and the extracts. The antioxidant potential and total phenol contents of the extracts were assessed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and Folin- Ciocalteu reagent, respectively. Methanol and 80% methanol extracts of the plant showed relatively weak DPPH radical scavenging activity and low amounts of total phenol contents.

Published: November 2017

Purposes:We aimed to assess the effects of nutritional status on occurrences of opportunistic infection in HIV/AIDS patients using antiretroviral therapy at Jimma University Specialized Hospital.Methods:We conducted a retrospective study on 340 adults who were taking antiretroviral therapy and the patients were followed for 2 years after they commence treatment. Medical Chart review was done from January 30 to February 28, 2014. SPSS for windows version 21 was used to analyze the data. The data was analyzed by SPSS for windows version 21.Time to occurrence of opportunistic infection was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox-proportional Hazard model was used to identify predictors of opportunistic infections.Results:Eighty three [24.4%] patients developed opportunistic infection after initiation of highly active anti-retroviral therapy. Fifty five [66.3%] patients were from malnourished group. Malnutrition, Stavudine based regimen, Zidovudine based regimen and taking isoniazid prophylaxis were associated with greater hazard of developing opportunistic infections.Conclusions:Malnutrition was significant predictor of opportunistic infections. Malnourished patients were associated with high risk and early development of opportunistic infections.
The Association between SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Hierarchy Information and Conditional Accounting Conservatism
Authors: Black Jonathan , Chen Jeff Zeyun , Cussatt Marc 
Published: November 2017

ABSTRACT
Investors demand conditional conservatism to restrict managers' ability to opportunistically exploit unverifiable accounting estimates. The fair value estimation process is subject to verifiability concerns when market prices are unavailable and, thus, susceptible to managerial discretion. We explore whether banks' exposure to less-verifiable fair value estimates is associated with conditional conservatism. General and bank-specific conservatism measures indicate that banks with greater proportions of less-verifiable fair value assets exhibit more conditional conservatism. Cross-sectional analyses provide evidence that this relation varies predictably with investor-demand and manager-supply proxies. Further analyses indicate that monitoring institutional investors drive the demand for conservatism. We identify high-quality auditors and board independence as two mechanisms used to invoke conservatism. Findings are robust to the exclusion of fair value earnings components, suggesting that the effect is not confined to fair value accounts. Together, our results indicate that less-verifiable fair value estimates generate demand for conditional conservatism in the financial industry.
Cost Management Research
Authors: Banker Rajiv D. , Byzalov Dmitri , Fang Shunlan , Liang Yi 
Published: November 2017

ABSTRACT
The traditional view of cost behavior assumes a simple mechanistic relation between cost drivers and costs. In contrast, contemporary cost management research recognizes that costs are caused by managers' operating decisions subject to various constraints, incentives, and psychological biases. This conceptual innovation opens up the “black box” of cost behavior and gives researchers a powerful new way to use observed cost behavior as a lens to study the determinants and the consequences of managers' operating decisions. Banker and Byzalov (2014) presented an overview of the economic theory of cost behavior and major estimation issues. The research literature on cost management has grown rapidly in the past few years and has enhanced the understanding of how managerial decisions influence observed costs. In this study, we provide a comprehensive review of recent findings and insights, with a particular emphasis on the implications of cost management for understanding issues in cost, managerial, and financial accounting, and challenges and opportunities for future research.

Authors: MALYSHEVA D. B. 
Published: November 2017

The article deals with the peculiarities of the transformation of Turkey in the sphere of internal and foreign policy in the light of the referendum held on April 16, 2017 on the issue of the extension of powers of the head of state. The preconditions and consequences of the transition of Turkey from a parliamentary political system to a presidential one are analyzed, as well as the problem of stability of the internal political situation in the republic in the conditions of the economic crisis, the unresolved Kurdish problem, the increase of terrorist threat. In the article the changes in the positioning of Turkey in the international arena appeared after the referendum, in particular in the relations with the European Union which Turkey has tried to join for a long time are revealed. Special attention is paid to the international and political activity of Turkey in the Middle East region and in the Syrian conflict zone where the military confrontation sparked the activation of radical Islamist movements and terrorist structures. The evolution of the Turkish approaches to the crisis in Syria is analyzed, the role of Turkey which with Russia and Iran has become a guarantor of peaceful settlement within the framework of Astana process is estimated. Based on the analysis of the peculiarities of the transformation of Turkey as a regional power a conclusion is made about the postreferendum continuity of the political course in the sphere of internal and foreign policy and that within the framework of the presidential political system developing in the republic one can expect greater dynamics in the adoption of economic, political and international solutions.
CAN TURKISH AND US CO-OPERATION IN THE BLACK SEA REGION INCREASE EFFICIENCY GAINS?
Authors: AYBAR Sedat 
Published: November 2017

This paper examines the impact of co-operation between Turkey and the US upon Turkish trade and investments towards the Black Sea region. The study is particularly important in the conjuncture of the US withdrawal from the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and in the wake of signing a free trade agreement with the EU. An additional matter of importance relates to the improved Turkey – Russia economic collaboration especially after the “jet” incident and American involvement with the Middle East. Significant part of the latter is economic as the US has also explicit economic interests in the Eastern Meditteranean. A gravity model has been employed using ordinary least squares on a panel data with fixed effects to analyse aggregate trade. We have also categorized export groups of Turkey and the US separately. Our findings for both Turkish and the US exports indicate that per-capita GDP of Black Sea countries are highly persistent and positively correlated with increased efficiency gains and trade volumes. Regression results show that the US exports to the EU member countries are on average less than to those non-EU member Black Sea countries. Hence, we question whether a possible co-operation between the US and Turkish companies can help gaining better access to the Black Sea market for their exports.

¿Adónde se fueron?: Modernidad e indianismo en "Sab" de Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda
Authors: Camacho Jorge 
Published: November 2017

Al inicio del siglo XIX, los países hispanoamericanos obtuvieron su independencia de España. Cuba y Puerto Rico, no obstante, se mantuvieron como parte de la “madre patria” hasta finalizado el siglo XIX. Esto no impidió, sin embargo, que la elite intelectual de estos países repensara la historia y las tradiciones que unían a ambos países con la metrópolis. Aspiraban a encontrar algo que pudiera diferenciarlos de los otros. Como resultado, apareció una literatura étnica importante, altamente contextualizada y muchas veces de naturaleza alegórica que reflejaba la vida de los descendientes de los amerindios en Cuba. En este ensayo, me propongo explorar la forma en que comenzó este proceso, primero con José María Heredia y continuó luego con una de sus discípulas, Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda. En sus poemas, escritos en México, Heredia reflexiona sobre “la raza original” de las Antillas y lo hace de una forma que Sigmund Freud solamente podría caracterizar como “luto”; luto y melancolía por la muerte de una persona querida, que se asocia en sus escritos con Cuba. En los años que siguieron, la Avellaneda haría lo mismo. Pero esta vez, los descendientes de la “raza original” reaparecerían vestidos para la pelea, reclamando venganza y mezclados con los deseos y demandas de los esclavos, negros libres y mulatos que los habían reemplazado en los campos de caña. Early in the 19th century, Latin America obtained its independence from Spain. Cuba and Puerto Rico, however, remained part of the “mother land” until the end of that century. That did not prevent their intellectual elite, however, from rethinking the traditional ties between their countries and the metropolis. Their hope was to find something that they could use to differentiate themselves from the others. As a result an important body of ethnic literature appeared, highly contextualized and sometimes allegorical in nature that reflected upon the lives of Amerindians in Cuba. In this essay, I would like to explore the way this process started, first with José María Heredia and continued later on, with Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda. In his poems, written in Mexico, Heredia start reflecting on the “original races” of the Caribbean and he does it in a way that Sigmund Freud could have only characterized as “mourning”; mourning and melancholia for the death of a dear person, who becomes associated in his writings with Cuba. In the following years, la Avellaneda will do the same. But in her case, the descendants of the “original race” will reappear dressed for war, claiming vengeance, and interwoven with the desires and demands of the slaves, free blacks and mulattos that have replaced them in the fields.

La escritura como palimpsesto (una forma de la logofagia)
Authors: Blesa Túa 
Published: November 2017

La escritura literaria contemporánea se manifiesta en ocasiones según el modelo del palimpsesto. La producción de palimpsestos no es algo que pertenezca al pasado, sino que está todavía vigente y se pueden leer algunos textos conviviendo en un soporte único, por lo que se debe hablar de palimpsesto en su sentido más recto. Los palimpsestos contemporáneos son una exhibición de la interrelación de unos textos con otros, de la dependencia mutua, de que todo texto es tan sólo un punto en una red inmensa, inabarcable en último término, de palabras. Por otra parte, estos dobles textos son manifestaciones de la inscripción del silencio en la escritura, figuras de la logofagia. Todo ello, como puede suponerse, tiene inmediatas y no leves consecuencias sobre la lectura de estos textos, entre los que destacan los que se analizan en este artículo, de Leopoldo María Panero, Jesús Munárriz, Guido Savio y Jenaro Talens. Contemporary literary writing occasionally follows the model of the palimpsest. Palimpsests production doesn’t belong only to the past, but it is still valid and some texts can be read coexisting in a single support, so palimpsest should be discussed in its most straight sense. The contemporary palimpsest is a display of the interrelation of texts with others, of their mutual dependence, the demonstration that any text is merely a dot on a vast network, ultimately incomprehensible, of words. Moreover, these double texts are manifestations of the inscription of silence in the writing, figures of the logophagy. All this, as it might be expected, has immediate and not light consequences for the reading of these texts, among which are those discussed in this article, by Leopoldo María Panero, Jesus Munárriz, Guido Savio and Jenaro Talens.
El papel de la enfermedad de amor en la "Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea"
Authors: Šabec Maja 
Published: November 2017

El presente artículo se centra en la posibilidad de emplazar el desenlace trágico en la Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea dentro de la perspectiva médica de la época, que incluía el amor entre las demás enfermedades sicosomáticas. La demostración del desarrollo del amor hereos de Calisto, abarcando las causas, los síntomas, los tratamientos terapéuticos y las consecuencias de una medicación errónea y fracasada se basa en los tratados médicos medievales, sobre todo en el Lilium medicinae de Bernardo de Gordonio y El Sumario de medicina de Francisco Villalobos, que reúnen el saber médico tanto de la antigüedad como de la tradición árabe. Se revela que las características del amor hereos concuerdan de un modo sorprendente con la función y el discurso del amante cortés en la literatura del siglo XV: en ambos casos los «héroes» pertenecen a la clase noble, se enamoran a través de la mirada, idealizan a la mujer amada, languidecen, y los dos pueden acabar muriendo por el anhelo no realizado de la unión (sexual) con la mujer amada. En la obra examinada destaca además la figura de la vieja medianera que, sin embargo, tiene otra función que las sabias viejas de los manuales médicos. Palabras clave: La Celestina, medicina medieval, amor hereos, amor cortés. This article focuses on the possibility of explaining the story’s tragic resolution from the viewpoint of medicine that included love in the rest of the psicosomatic illnesses. The heroe is supposed to succumb to the amor hereos which is supposed to be the main cause of his death. The description od Calisto’s illness, including the causes, symptoms, methods of treatment, and the consequences of unsuccessful treatment, relies upon medieval medical works, especially Lilium medicinae, by Bernardo Gordonio and El Sumario de medicina by Rojas’ contemporary Francisco López de Villalobos; this works combine medical knowledge from Classical Antiquity and Arabic tradition. Within the context of La Celestina, the role of the procuress, also mentioned in these medical manuals, is especially important. Keywords: La Celestina, medieval medicine, lovesickness, courtly love
