L’Algérie: La postindépendance, l’effervescence cosmopolite et la littérature
Authors: Chikhi Beïda 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
In Algeria, the immediate post-independence period in the 1960s and its subsequent impact right through to the end of the 1980s represented a watershed. It was characterized by a cosmopolitan ambiance and a widespread preoccupation with epistemology: concerning the difficulties of moving from the old to the new, linguistic transitions, negotiations around pedagogic questions and, above all else, the questioning of identity. Post-independent Algeria is striving to become visible as a symbolic territory, a nation and a nation state. Algerian literature has made a contribution to critical historical work by throwing light on problematic concepts such as colonization, revolution and independence. These concepts have been used by writers in their European sense, but, at the same time, they have been given new forms based on the experience lived from the inside by Algerians. The need for Algerianization was taken on board as both genealogical and pedagogical process. Tensions were exacerbated by the strong rivalry between a French version of universality inherited from the Enlightenment and the Islamic notion of universality, which sprang from a civilization that had reached its highest point in the medieval period but which intends to reconquer its world.
Community at the extremes: The death metal underground as being-in-common
Authors: Snaza Nathan , Netherton Jason 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This article asks what the early death metal underground teaches us about the relations between community and aesthetics. After tracing the emergence of death metal as a genre, the article examines the accounts of musicians, artists and recording engineers collected in Jason Netherton’s Extremity Retained (2014). Drawing on contemporary theories of non-human agency, research in animal studies, and Continental philosophies of community, the article focuses on ‘brutality’ as a crucial marker of death metal’s political significance, arguing that this involved experiments with new ways of embodiment that outstrip humanist presuppositions about what a body can do. Then, the article examines how international tape trading networks allowed for the emergence of forms of ‘being-in-common’ that cannot be understood in merely human terms. Finally, the article argues that the death metal underground’s particular importance lies in its linking of more-than-human practices of community with a focus on death and negativity.
The role of E-cadherin - 160C/A polymorphism in breast cancer
Authors: Luo Gaojian , Huang Diyu , Tao Ran , Chen Jianfeng 
Published: August 2016

AbstractBreast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women worldwide. Numerous studies have suggested that the E-cadherin adhesion system is dysregulated in cancer cells. These impaired functions of E-cadherin contribute to releasing cancer cells from the primary lesion to cell dedifferentiation. Some studies have shown that polymorphism may affect E-cadherin expression, and then play a role in susceptibility to breast cancer. However, the results remained controversial. In this short review, we summarize the functions of E-cadherin and the signaling pathways it regulates, and assess the association between CDH1 polymorphisms and breast cancer susceptibility. This study suggests that genetic variation in CDH1 and -160C/A polymorphism may have an association with breast cancer risk. The assessment of CDH1 polymorphisms may be used for the identification of patients suitable for anti- CDH1 therapy.
Newly-presented potential targeted drugs in the treatment of renal cell cancer

Published: August 2016

AbstractRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequent form of renal cancer, and is associated with a high frequency of metastasis. While, there is few therapeutic methods can substantially prolong survival. Superior to cytokine therapy with IL-2 and/or IFN-a, several newer targeted treatments are available for the treatment of patients with advanced conventional (clear cell) renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which received improved outcomes. These newer targeted treatments include the multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs, sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib, and axitinib), the humanised antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody [bevacizumab combined with interferon (IFN)-a], and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) complex 1 kinase inhibitors (everolimus and temsirolimus). However, these targeted drugs are still associated with limited efficacy and high toxicity, so there is still a strong need for further discovery of new targeted drugs. In the present manuscript, we summarize newly-presented potential targeted drugs for RCC, classified by drug characteristic, small molecule, small molecule combination, monoclonal antibody, polysaccharides, organometals and peptides.
Interval Decomposition Lattices are Balanced
Authors: Foldes Stephan , Radeleczki Sándor 
Published: August 2016

AbstractIntervals in binary or n-ary relations or other discrete structures generalize the concept of an interval in a linearly ordered set. They are defined abstractly as closed sets of a closure system on a set, satisfying certain axioms. Join-irreducible partitions into intervals are characterized in the lattice of all interval decompositions. This result is used to show that the lattice of interval decompositions is balanced, and the case when this lattice is distributive is also characterised.

Authors: Asai Nobuhiro , Krystek Anna Dorota , Wojakowski Łukasz Jan 
Published: August 2016

AbstractIn this paper, we shall discuss Bargmann type measures on C for several classes of probability measures on R. The unified interpolation expressions include not only the classical Bargmann measure and its q-deformation, but also their t-deformations and dilations. As a special case, we get conditions on existence and an explicit form of the Bargmann representation for the free Meixner family of probability measures.
Galois theory for clones and superclones
Authors: Peryazev Nikolay A. , Sharankhaev Ivan K. 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
We study clones (closed sets of operations that contain projections) and superclones on finite sets. According to A. I. Mal’tsev a clone may be considered as an algebra. If we replace algebra universe with a set of multioperations and add the operation of simplest equation solvability then we will obtain an algebra called a superclone. The paper establishes Galois connection between clones and superclones.

Abstract
This article investigates a proposed model of
cross-border exchange and information security in the
cross-border interaction in the integration system. A structural
scheme of protected cross-border information exchange
is proposed. Cross-border interaction of sides for
information exchange in the integrated system is provided
by the creation and use of the integration segment and national
segments. The main tasks of a trusted third party
are formulated. The model of sides’ interaction scheme
of the integration system using the integration gateway
is presented. In this paper, a model of modified nonconventional
digital signature system based on the scheme of
the Digital Signature Algorithm and nonpositional polynomial
number systems (NPNs) are described. Application
of NPNs allows creating effective cryptographic systems of
high reliability, which enables the confidentiality, authentication,
integrity of stored and transmitted information.
The Place of Nailfold Capillaroscopy Among Instrumental Methods for Assessment of Some Peripheral Ischaemic Syndromes in Rheumatology
Authors: Lambova Sevdalina N. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractMicro- and macrovascular pathology is a frequent finding in a number of common rheumatic diseases. Secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is among the most common symptoms in systemic sclerosis and several other systemic autoimmune diseases including a broad differential diagnosis. It should be also differential from other peripheral vascular syndromes such as embolism, thrombosis, etc., some of which lead to clinical manifestation of the blue toe syndrome.The current review discusses the instrumental methods for vascular assessments.Nailfold capillaroscopy is the only method among the imaging techniques that can be used for morphological assessment of the nutritive capillaries in the nailfold area. Laser-Doppler flowmetry and laser-Doppler imaging are methods for functional assessment of microcirculation, while thermography and plethysmography reflect both blood flow in peripheral arteries and microcirculation. Doppler ultrasound and angiography visualize peripheral arteries. The choice of the appropriate instrumental method is guided by the clinical presentation. The main role of capillaroscopy is to provide differential diagnosis between primary and secondary RP. In rheumatology, capillaroscopic changes in systemic sclerosis have been recently defined as diagnostic. The appearance of abnormal capillaroscopic pattern inherits high positive predictive value for the development of a connective tissue disease that is higher than the predictive value of antinuclear antibodies. In cases of abrupt onset of peripheral ischaemia, clinical signs of critical ischaemia, unilateral or lower limb involvement, Doppler ultrasound and angiography are indicated. The most common causes for such clinical picture that may be referred to rheumatologic consultation are the antiphospholipid syndrome, mimickers of vasculitides such as atherosclerosis with cholesterol emboli, and neoplasms.

Authors: Bozhkova Tanya P. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractBackground: Normal occlusal and articulation relations between the jaws ensure equal distribution of occlusal forces during mastication. A T-SCAN system allows these relations to be measured dynamically during the articulation cycle.Aim: To evaluate the T-SCAN III system in measuring and assessing the forces of occlusal contacts and their digital presentation.Patients and methods: Thirty students aged 19 - 22 years were examined. Of these only one matched the study criteria:- intact dentition;- without or with class I fillings in teeth 36 or 46;- Angle’s class I jaw relationWe used a computerized occlusal analysis system T-SCAN in the study. It comes with a registering sensor for the occlusal contacts, a module for transmitting the signals to a computer, and conversion software to generate images on a computer screen.Results: We evaluated the system’s capabilities in registering the occlusal contacts during mastication on an occlusion film and the occlusal forces using a digital display.Conclusion: The T-SCAN system provides the only accurate way to determine and evaluate the time sequence and force of occlusal contacts by converting the qualitative data into quantitative and displaying them digitally.

AbstractVulvovaginal candidiasis is the second most common cause of vaginitis worldwide (after bacterial candidiasis). Maternal vulvovaginal candidiasis is a major risk factor for Candida colonization and infection of the infant where prognosis depends on different predisposing factors. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and the etiological structure of vulvovaginal candidiasis in pregnant women and its impact on Candida colonization of newborns.Materials and methods: Samples of vaginal secretions from 80 healthy pregnant women who were clinically suspicious for Candida vaginitis were collected within 48 hours before delivery. Samples for probable Candida colonization from the oral mucosa and feces were collected from their newborns within 47-72 hours after birth. Samples were plated on Sabouraud agar, followed by species identification by API Candida yeast assay.Results: Twenty-three (28.75 ± 5.06%) of the evaluated pregnant women were positive for Candida spp. Positive samples for Candida colonization were found in 18 (22.22 ± 4.62%) of the examined 81 newborns (one pair of twins) from mothers who were clinically suspicious for vaginal candidiasis. Isolates of the newborns were 100% identical to those of the mothers’ vaginal secretion. Candida albicans was the predominant species identified in the pregnant women (91.67 ± 0.06%) and in the neonates (83.33±8.78%).

Published: August 2016

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis and celiac disease were considered a single clinical entity for many years. Differentiation between the diseases occurred some time in the 1930s of the 20th Century. Both diseases may present the intestinal malabsorption syndrome and similar clinical manifestations that contribute to difficulties with clinical distinction. We describe a report of two patients with initial diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, who were subsequently diagnosed with celiac disease.
These case reports emphasize the possibility of false positivity being shown in the sweat test in CD, which may result in delayed diagnosis and inadequate management of this disease.
Global stability analysis and control of leptospirosis
Authors: Okosun Kazeem Oare , Mukamuri M. , Makinde Daniel Oluwole 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of leptospirosis control measures, preventive vaccination and treatment of infective humans that may curtail the disease transmission. For this, a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of the disease that includes preventive, vaccination, treatment of infective vectors and humans control measures are considered. Firstly, the constant control parameters’ case is analyzed, also calculate the basic reproduction number and investigate the existence and stability of equilibria. The threshold condition for disease-free equilibrium is found to be locally asymptotically stable and can only be achieved when the basic reproduction number is less than unity. The model is found to exhibit the existence of multiple endemic equilibria. Furthermore, to assess the relative impact of each of the constant control parameters measures the sensitivity index of the basic reproductive number to the model’s parameters are calculated. In the time-dependent constant control case, Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle is used to derive necessary conditions for the optimal control of the disease. The cost-effectiveness analysis is carried out by first of all using ANOVA to check on the mean costs. Then followed by Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) for all the possible combinations of the disease control measures. Our results revealed that the most cost-effective strategy for the control of leptospirosis is the combination of the vaccination and treatment of infective livestocks. Though the combinations of all control measures is also effective, however, this strategy is not cost-effective and so too costly. Therefore, more efforts from policy makers on vaccination and treatment of infectives livestocks regime would go a long way to combat the disease epidemic.
The application of a modified Monte Carlo method in the simulation of settlement pattern’s spatial development in the example of Mstów (Śląskie voivodship, Poland)
Authors: Wolski Oskar 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The first aim of the article is to propose the simulation of the settlement patterns development as an element of spatial planning methodology. In order to conduct such a simulation, a modified Monte Carlo method can be used. It approximates the spatial distribution of a studied phenomenon based on numerical calculations and implemented variables. Referring to previous works in which the method was applied, the author tested it on the village of Mstów. It was assumed that this method could highlight land features that are unreachable using traditional approaches in complex systems analyses.
The second aim was to investigate some of the determinants of contemporary spatial development. The conducted simulation demonstrated features of Mstów settlement pattern and proved determinants in its future development, including: the existence of areas especially predisposed for building, the decreasing number of new buildings being built, the decreasing importance of factors that were relevant in the past, and a significant relevance of the human factor. It was also proven that land development may occur on areas less predisposed to building.
Optimization Method for Solution Model of Laser Tracker Multilateration Measurement
Authors: Chen Hongfang , Tan Zhi , Shi Zhaoyao , Song Huixu , Yan Hao 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Multilateration measurement using laser trackers suffers from a cumbersome solution method for high-precision measurements. Errors are induced by the self-calibration routines of the laser tracker software. This paper describes an optimization solution model for laser tracker multilateration measurement, which effectively inhibits the negative effect of this self-calibration, and further, analyzes the accuracy of the singular value decomposition for the described solution model. Experimental verification for the solution model based on laser tracker and coordinate measuring machine (CMM) was performed. The experiment results show that the described optimization model for laser tracker multilateration measurement has good accuracy control, and has potentially broad application in the field of laser tracker spatial localization.
The Cosine Error: A Bayesian Procedure for Treating a Non-repetitive Systematic Effect
Authors: Lira Ignacio , Grientschnig Dieter 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
An inconsistency with respect to variable transformations in our previous treatment of the cosine error example with repositioning (Metrologia, vol. 47, pp. R1–R14) is pointed out. The problem refers to the measurement of the vertical height of a column of liquid in a manometer. A systematic effect arises because of the possible deviation of the measurement axis from the vertical, which may be different each time the measurement is taken. A revised procedure for treating this problem is proposed; it consists in straightforward application of Bayesian statistics using a conditional reference prior with partial information. In most practical applications, the numerical differences between the two procedures will be negligible, so the interest of the revised one is mainly of conceptual nature. Nevertheless, similar measurement models may appear in other contexts, for example, in intercomparisons, so the present investigation may serve as a warning to analysts against applying the same methodology we used in our original approach to the present problem.
Sensitivity Jump of Micro Accelerometer Induced by Micro-fabrication Defects of Micro Folded Beams
Authors: Zhou Wu , Chen Lili , Yu Huijun , Peng Bei , Chen Yu 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The abnormal phenomenon occurring in sensor calibration is an obstacle to product development but a useful guideline to product improvement. The sensitivity jump of micro accelerometers in the calibrating process is recognized as an important abnormal behavior and investigated in this paper. The characteristics of jumping output in the centrifuge test are theoretically and experimentally analyzed and their underlying mechanism is found to be related to the varied stiffness of supporting beam induced by the convex defect on it. The convex defect is normally formed by the lithography deviation and/or etching error and can result in a jumping stiffness of folded microbeams and further influence the sensitivity when a part of the bending beams is stopped from moving by two surfaces contacting. The jumping level depends on the location of convex and has nothing to do with the contacting properties of beam and defects. Then the location of defect is predicted by theoretical model and simulation and verified by the observation of micro structures under microscopy. The results indicate that the tested micro accelerometer has its defect on the beam with a distance of about 290μm from the border of proof mass block.

Published: August 2016

AbstractIn this paper, a planar biaxial vehicle model with four degrees of freedom is presented based on spring-damping-mass system theory. By using Runge-Kutta method, the dynamic characteristics of a simply support bridge acting by moving vehicle with uniform variable speed are analyzed, and the effects of inertia force, relative acceleration and initial velocity are taken into consideration in the present research. The time-deflection response curves of the bridge under the variation of initial speed and acceleration are analyzed. Some valuable results are found which can provide a theoretical direction for the consideration of dynamical characteristics in design of bridge system.
