Bible Commentaries by Theophylact of Ohrid in the collection of manuscripts in PolandIn the Church Slavonic literary tradition, Theophylact of Ohrid is mostly associated with his exegeses to the Bible. The collections of Cyrillic manuscripts in Poland include only a single copy of his annotated Book of Gospels (BN 12431 III, beginning of the sixteenth century), which has not yet been the subject of a separate study. The book is particularly interesting and valuable, as it contains archaic linguistic features, proving that it is an extremely old copy of the first Slavonic translation of the work. This is an important example of the presence of manuscripts related to Old East Slavonic, and also indirectly – Old Church Slavonic literary tradition in the former Polish-Lithuanian state. The article gives a codicological and linguistic characteristic of this manuscript, and its primary aim is to draw attention to the manuscript from researchers of the works of Theophylact of Ohrid, the Church Slavonic literature, and the Bible. Komentarze do Ewangelii Teofilakta Ochrydzkiego w zbiorach rękopisów w PolsceW cerkiewnosłowiańskiej tradycji piśmienniczej postać Teofilakta Ochrydzkiego najczę­ściej kojarzona jest z jego egzegezami do ksiąg biblijnych. W zbiorach rękopisów cyrylickich w Polsce znajduje się tylko jeden egzemplarz Ewangeliarza komentowanego (BN 12431 III, początek XVI wieku), który dotychczas nie był przedmiotem osobnych badań. Kodeks należy do szczególnie ciekawych i cennych, bowiem zawiera archaiczne cechy językowe, świadczące o tym, że jest kopią bardzo starego tekstu pierwszego słowiańskiego przekładu dzieła. Jest to ważny przykład obecności na terenach dawnego państwa polsko-litewskiego rękopisów związanych ze staroruską, a pośrednio również starobułgarską tradycją piśmienniczą. Artykuł jest kodykologiczną i językową charakterystyką tego rękopisu i ma na celu zwrócenie na niego uwagi badaczy zajmujących się twórczością Teofilakta Ochrydzkiego oraz cerkiewnosłowiańską literaturą biblijną.
Композитите като маркери за святост в „Похвална беседа за софийските мъченици“ от XVI в.

Composita as marks of holiness in the sixteenth‑century Eulogy for the Sofia MartyrsThe article presents preliminary observations concerning the excerpts from the Book of Jeremiah in the Archival Chronograph (fifteenth century) and Vilno Chronograph (sixteenth century). According to their content, localization and linguistic characteristics, they fall into two main groups. Some of the excerpts are identified as chapters from the Slavic Prophetologion and are connected with the translation made by Cyril and Methodius. Other chapters, which are not included in the Cyrillic and Glagolitic liturgical books, belong to the first, probably untranslated or now lost, part of the Book of Jeremiah. The excerpts that cannot be found in the Prophetologion also have archaic linguistic bases, connected to the translational techniques characteristic of the Cyrillo-Methodian translations, and differ considerably from the translation with commentaries that was made in Preslav. Whether these excerpts belong to an independent earlier translation, made by Methodius and his co-workers, or they are extracts from encyclopaedic miscellany, they provide valuable material for the study of this biblical book and of the Old Bulgarian translation of the Old Testament. Złożenia jako znaki świętości w szesnastowiecznej Eulogii męczenników SofiiArtykuł prezentuje wstępne obserwacje na temat fragmentów Księgi Jeremiasza, znajdujących się w zbiorach Archival Chronograph (XV wiek) i Vilno Chronograph (XVI wiek). Zgodnie z ich zawartością, miejscem powstania i cechami językowymi wchodzą one w skład dwóch głównych grup. Niektóre fragmenty są rozpoznane jako rozdziały słowiańskiego parimejnika i są związane z przekładem autorstwa śś. Cyryla i Metodego. Inne rozdziały, które nie weszły w skład cyrylickich i głagolickich ksiąg liturgicznych, należą do pierwszej, prawdopodobnie nieprzetłumaczonej lub zaginionej, części Księgi Jeremiasza. Fragmenty, które nie znajdują się w parimejniku także mają archaiczną podstawę językową, związaną z technikami translatorskimi, charakterystycznymi dla przekładów cyrylometodejskich i znacznie różnią się od przekładu z komentarzami, powstałego w Presławiu. Bez względu na to, czy fragmenty te są cześcią wcześniejszego, niezależnego tłumaczenia wykonanego przez Metodego i jego współpracowników, czy są fragmentami z encyklopedycznego miscellaneum, stanowią ważny punkt odniesienia do badania tej biblijnej księgi, a także starobułgarskiego przekładu Starego Testamentu.
Адам и Ева, единосъщите – модел и мит на първата библейска двойка в българския междувоенен роман
Authors: Попова [Popova] Аглика [Aglika] 
Published: October 2016

Adam and Eve, consubstantial: Model and myth of the first Biblical couple in Bulgarian interwar novelThe article examines the first biblical couple as a tool for comparative analysis of the mod­ernist tendencies of Bulgarian novel in the period between the two World Wars. The research focuses on works by Chavdar Mutafov, Anna Kamenova, and Dimitar Dimov, along with examples taken from French and Romanian literary pieces as representatives of the wider, European history of ideas. In the image of Creation, but also the image of the original sin, Adam and Eve are of interest because of their unity, which eventually becomes the basis of the Christian family after they leave the Garden of Eden. The borders of the model given in the Bible are breached with the introduction of a new reading – the figures of Creation can now also be seen as figures of salvation. The knowledge gained by the existing studies of myth in European literature thus becomes the foundation for a revision of the hitherto selective interpretation of works by the Bulgarian novelists. The point of intersection between the dif­ferent approaches towards the first couple is their arduous integration into the surrounding world, and adaptation to the passage of time. Another prominent feature is the discussion about the possible development of the model; the newly introduced definition of salvation that comes after Creation and the fall of man. Adam i Ewa współistotni – model i mit pierwszej biblijnej pary w bułgarskiej powieści międzywojennejTematem artykułu jest pierwsza biblijna para ludzi, rozumiana jako wiodący motyw analizy porównawczej modernistycznych tendencji w bułgarskiej powieści okresu międzywojennego. Jako przykład posłużyły prace Czawdara Mutafowa, Anny Kamenowej i Dimityra Dimowa, a także francuskie i rumuńskie utwory literackie, służące osadzeniu wywodu w szerszym kontekście europejskiej historii idei. Zarówno w obrazie Stworzenia, jak i w obrazie grze­chu pierworodnego, postacie Adama i Ewy są interesujące ze względu na ich jedność, która ostatecznie staje się podstawą chrześcijańskiej rodziny po opuszczeniu przez nich rajskiego ogrodu. Granice modelu podanego w Biblii zostają naruszone przez wprowadzenie nowego odczytania – figury Stworzenia mogą być również odczytywane jako figury zbawienia. Wiedza zdobyta dzięki dotychczasowym studiom nad mitem w literaturze europejskiej staje się pod­stawą do rewizji selektywnej interpretacji bułgarskich powieściopisarzy. Punktem wspólnym dla różnych podejść w badaniu pierwszej pary ludzi jest ich trudna integracja z otaczającym światem i próba pogodzenia się z upływem czasu. Inną istotną cechą jest dyskusja na temat rozwoju tego modelu: nowo wprowadzona definicja zbawienia, które przychodzi po Stworzeniu i upadku człowieka.
Gry w podmiot. Szkic o (wczesnej) twórczości Mladena Stilinovicia
Authors: Bogusławska Magdalena 
Published: October 2016

Games of a subject: A sketch of the (early) works of Mladen StilinovićThe article concerns the conceptualization of the subject in the works of the contemporary Croatian visual artist Mladen Stilinović. The object of analysis are most of all works (collages, texts) from the 1970s and early 1980s, when the artist formulated the basis for his creative philosophy and at the same time determined the directions of their research. His system of reference were the socialist state order and the traditionalist, academic system of artistic practice, which he criticized from the perspectives of Diogenes, philosophical Cynicism and constructive anarchism. Until this day, the attitude of resistance is the main creative principle for Stilinović’s art. He sets strong, conscious and autonomous creator’s “I” against symbolic violence of different systems (political, ideological, educational, etc.). This “I” is not so much the material and object of expression as a space of play based on concpetualism and self-irony. Gry w podmiot. Szkic o (wczesnej) twórczości Mladena StilinoviciaArtykuł dotyczy konceptualizacji podmiotu w twórczości współczesnego chorwackiego artysty wizualnego – Mladena Stilinovicia. Przedmiotem analizy są przede wszystkim prace (kolaże, teksty) z lat 70. i początku 80. XX wieku, kiedy to artysta formułował podstawy filozofii twórczej i określał kierunki swych poszukiwań. Układem odniesienia były dla niego wówczas socjalistyczny porządek państwa i tradycjonalistyczny, akademicki system praktyki artystycz­nej, które poddawał konsekwentnej krytyce z pozycji rozumnego, diogenesowskiego cynizmu i konstruktywnego anarchizmu. Do dziś postawa oporu jest dla Stilinovicia podstawową zasadą twórczą. Przemocy symbolicznej wszelkich systemów (politycznych, ideologicznych, edukacyjnych itp.) przeciwstawia mocne, świadome i niezależne „ja” twórcy. Jest tu ono nie tyle tworzywem i przedmiotem ekspresji, ile polem gry opartej na koncepcie i autoironii.
Influence of Bias Correcting Predictors on Statistical Downscaling Models
Authors: Vrac Mathieu , Vaittinada Ayar Pradeebane 
Published: October 2016

AbstractStatistical downscaling models (SDMs) and bias correction (BC) methods are commonly used to provide regional or debiased climate projections. However, most SDMs are utilized in a “perfect prognosis” context, meaning that they are calibrated on reanalysis predictors before being applied to GCM simulations. If the latter are biased, SDMs might suffer from discrepancies with observations and therefore provide unrealistic projections. It is then necessary to study the influence of applying bias correcting to large-scale predictors for SDMs, since it can have impacts on the local-scale simulations: such an investigation for daily temperature and precipitation is the goal of this study. Hence, four temperature and three precipitation SDMs are calibrated over a historical period. First, the SDMs are forced by historical predictors from two GCMs, corrected or not corrected. The two types of simulations are compared with reanalysis-driven SDM outputs to characterize the quality of the simulations. Second, changes in basic statistical properties of the raw GCM projections and those of the SDM simulations—driven by bias-corrected or raw predictors from GCM future projections—are compared. Third, the stationarity of the SDM changes brought by the BC of the predictors is investigated. Changes are computed over a historical (1976–2005) and future (2071–2100) time period and compared to assess the nonstationarity. Overall, BC can have impacts on the SDM simulations, although its influence varies from one SDM to another and from one GCM to another, with different spatial structures, and depends on the considered statistical properties. Nevertheless, corrected predictors generally improve the historical projections and can impact future evolutions with potentially strong nonstationary behaviors.
Low-Tropospheric Shear in the Structure of Squall Lines: Impacts on Latent Heating under Layer-Lifting Ascent
Authors: Alfaro Diego A. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
This study analyzes the dependence of the intensity of simulated midlatitude squall lines (SLs) at maturity on the strength of the environmental low-tropospheric shear, focusing on the amplitude of the latent heating produced within the deep convective region. The hypothesis motivating this investigation is that shear fundamentally affects system strength by modulating the mean convective instability of the storm-relative inflowing air, which is justified by the layer-lifting nature of convection in SLs.
The layer-lifting model of convection (LLMC) is proposed for measuring convective instability in the context of SLs, wherein latent heating is estimated by contemplating the storm-relative inflow of CAPE. This framework is used for defining LLMC indices for the precipitation rate and the updraft’s strength and verticality. Idealized SLs at maturity, simulated in a variety of kinematic and thermodynamic environments, encompass wide-ranging values of LLMC indices and degrees of cold pool–shear balance within the spectrum of cold pool–dominated storms.
LLMC indices account for much of the intercase variability in the updraft’s strength and verticality, the precipitation rate, and the convective mode apparent in radar reflectivity plots. It is found that the low-tropospheric shear fundamentally affects the intensity of SLs through its effects on latent heating, with stronger shear leading to larger inflowing convectively unstable air as a fraction of the total storm-relative inflow, favoring system intensity. This behavior could largely explain the dependence of storm intensity on the strength of shear documented in previous investigations, as cold pool–shear balance appears to be less restrictive on the intensity of mature SLs than the strength of the shear alone.
Transition of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein on hypothermic circulatory arrest with cardiopulmonary bypass
Authors: Kano Hiroya , Takahashi Hiroaki , Inoue Takeshi , Tanaka Hiroshi , Okita Yutaka 
Published: October 2016

Introduction: Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) is increasingly employed as a highly specific marker of intestinal necrosis. However, the value of this marker associated with cardiovascular surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest is unclear. The aim of this study was to measure serum I-FABP levels and provide the transition of I-FABP levels with hypothermic circulatory arrest to help in the management of intestinal perfusion. Methods: From August 2011 to September 2013, 33 consecutive patients who had aortic arch surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest or heart valve surgery performed were enrolled in the study. Twenty patients had aortic surgery with hypothermic (23-29°C) circulatory arrest and 13 patients had heart valve surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (33°C). Results: I-FABP levels increased, both in patients undergoing aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest and heart valve surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, reaching peak levels shortly after the administration of protamine. I-FABP levels in patients with aortic surgery were significantly higher with circulatory arrest. They reached peak levels immediately after recirculation and there was a significant drop at the end of surgery (p<0.001). I-FABP levels in heart valve surgery were gradually increased, with the highest at the administration of protamine; they gradually decreased. Peak I-FABP levels were significantly higher in patients undergoing aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest than in patients with heart valve surgery. However, no postoperative reperfusion injury occurred in the intestinal tract due to the use of hypothermic organ protection. Conclusion: Plasma I-FABP monitoring could be a valuable method for finding an intestinal ischemia in patients with cardiovascular surgery.
Testosterone downregulates angiotensin II type-2 receptor via androgen receptor-mediated ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathway in rat aorta
Authors: Mishra Jay S , Hankins Gary D , Kumar Sathish 
Published: October 2016

Introduction: Blood pressure is lower in females than males. Angiotensin II type-2 receptor (AT2R) induces vasodilation. This study determined whether sex differences in vascular AT2R expression occur and if androgens exert control on AT2R expression in the vasculature. Methods: AT2Rs in the aorta of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were examined following alteration in androgen levels by gonadectomy or hormone supplementation. Results: AT2R mRNA and protein expression levels were lower in the aortas of males than females. In males, testosterone withdrawal by castration significantly elevated AT2R mRNA and protein levels and testosterone replacement restored them. In females, increasing androgen levels decreased AT2R mRNA and protein expression and this was attenuated by androgen receptor blocker flutamide. Ex vivo, dihydrotestosterone downregulated AT2R in endothelium-intact but not endothelium-denuded aorta. Dihydrotestosterone-induced AT2R downregulation in isolated aorta was blocked by an androgen receptor antagonist. Furthermore, blockade of ERK1/2 but not p38 MAP kinase or TGFβ signaling with specific inhibitors abolished dihydrotestosterone-induced AT2R downregulation. Conclusion: Androgens downregulate AT2R expression levels in aorta, in vivo and ex vivo. The androgen receptor-mediated ERK1/2 MAP kinase-signaling pathway may be a key mechanism by which testosterone downregulates AT2R expression, implicating androgens’ contributing role to gender differences in vascular AT2R expression.
Are migrants in large cities underpaid? Evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Cuong Viet , Minh Thai Pham 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper examines the wage gap between migrants and non-migrants in large cities in Vietnam. It finds that migrants receive substantially lower wages than non-migrants. The wage gap tends to be larger for older migrants. However, once observed demographic characteristics of workers are controlled, there are no differences in wages between migrants and non-migrants. The main difference in observed wages between migrants and non-migrants is explained by differences in age and education between migrants and non-migrants.JEL Classification:O15, R23, I32
Preparation of Manganese/Graphite Oxide Composite Using Permanganate and Graphite: Application as Catalyst in Bromination of Hydrocarbons
Authors: Suzuki Hideyuki , Nishina Yuta 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
A highly efficient one-pot preparation of manganese/graphite oxide (MnOX/GO) composite from graphite and KMnO4 is described. Hummers preparation method of GO requires a stoichiometric amount of KMnO4, as a result, the method produces a large amount of reduced Mn species. The Mn residue generally is a waste, therefore, we envisioned converting it to value-added materials. A MnOX/GO composite was prepared in one-pot by treating the unpurified GO with aqueous KOH. The composite was characterized by XRD, XAFS, SEM and TEM. Among various applications of the MnOX/GO composite, we applied it as a recyclable catalyst for bromination of saturated hydrocarbons, one of the most basic but important chemical transformations. The MnOX/GO composite is expected to be an efficient catalyst because of the high surface area and high accessibility of substrates derived from the 2-dimensional sheet structure. When the reaction of a saturated hydrocarbon and Br2 in the presence of catalytic MnOX/GO was performed under fluorescent light irradiation, a brominated product was formed in high yield in a short reaction time. GO could strongly bind with Mn to prevent elution to the liquid phase, enabling the high recyclability.
Between Absorption, Abstraction and Exhibition: Inflections of the Cinematic Tableau in the Films of Corneliu Porumboiu, Roy Andersson and Joanna Hogg
Authors: Pethő Ágnes 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The paper proposes to focus on the multiple affordances and intermedial aesthetic of the cinematic tableau seen as a performative space resulting in the impression of watching a painting, a theatre stage, a shop window, a diorama, or a photo-filmic installation in which the play between stillness and motion is accompanied by a reflexive emphasis on media and the senses. Such images, described extensively by David Bordwell in his writings on the evolution of film style, are being re-evaluated through debates on the “tableau form,” “absorption and theatricality” in modern art and photography (e.g. Jean-François Chevrier, Michael Fried). In particular, the aim of this paper is to examine inflections of the cinematic tableau in the films of three contemporary European authors, Corneliu Porumboiu (Romania), Roy Andersson (Sweden) and Joanna Hogg (UK), and relate them to the paradigm of the Dutch interior established in seventeenth-century painting.
The Influence of X-Factor (Trunk Rotation) and Experience on the Quality of the Badminton Forehand Smash

Published: October 2016

AbstractNo existing studies of badminton technique have used full-body biomechanical modeling based on three-dimensional (3D) motion capture to quantify the kinematics of the sport. The purposes of the current study were to: 1) quantitatively describe kinematic characteristics of the forehand smash using a 15-segment, full-body biomechanical model, 2) examine and compare kinematic differences between novice and skilled players with a focus on trunk rotation (the X-factor), and 3) through this comparison, identify principal parameters that contributed to the quality of the skill. Together, these findings have the potential to assist coaches and players in the teaching and learning of the forehand smash. Twenty-four participants were divided into two groups (novice, n = 10 and skilled, n = 14). A 10-camera VICON MX40 motion capture system (200 frames/s) was used to quantify full-body kinematics, racket movement and the flight of the shuttlecock. Results confirmed that skilled players utilized more trunk rotation than novices. In two ways, trunk rotation (the X-factor) was shown to be vital for maximizing the release speed of the shuttlecock – an important measure of the quality of the forehand smash. First, more trunk rotation invoked greater lengthening in the pectoralis major (PM) during the preparation phase of the stroke which helped generate an explosive muscle contraction. Second, larger range of motion (ROM) induced by trunk rotation facilitated a whip-like (proximal to distal) control sequence among the body segments responsible for increasing racket speed. These results suggest that training intended to increase the efficacy of this skill needs to focus on how the X-factor is incorporated into the kinematic chain of the arm and the racket.
