On a criterion for the solvability of one ill-posed problem for the biharmonic equation
Authors: Kal’menov Tynysbek S. , Sadybekov Makhmud A. , Iskakova Ulzada A. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
A local boundary value problem for an inhomogeneous
biharmonic equation in a rectangular domain is considered.
Boundary conditions are given on the whole boundary of the domain.
It is shown that the problem turns out to be self-adjoint. And
herewith the problem is ill-posed. An
example is constructed demonstrating that the solution stability to the problem
is violated. Necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence
of a strong solution to the investigated problem are found. The
idea of the method is that the solution to the problem is
constructed in the form of an expansion on eigenfunctions of this
self-adjoint problem. This problem has an isolated point of
continuous spectrum in zero. It is shown that there exists a series (a sequence) of eigenvalues converging to zero.
Asymptotics of these eigenvalues is found. Namely this
asymptotics defines a reason for the ill-posedness of the
investigated problem. A space of well-posedness for the
investigated problem is constructed.
Adventure in a new language: what a first generation Canadian immigrant’s narrative holds for ESL teachers
Authors: Fang Xing 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThis paper explored the value of learner’s stories for ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers’ teaching and research through a narrative inquiry of the lived English learning experience of a first generation Canadian immigrant. It first reviewed the concept of narrative and the significance of launching narrative inquiry. Then, it presented an interview conducted with the Canadian immigrant as a model of narrative inquiry. Themes of the narrative interview were found to resonate with theoretical issues of SLE (Second Language Education), ESL and SLA (Second Language Acquisition). Considering the themes and the entire interviewing process, this paper closed with a discussion of the benefits of narrative inquiry for ESL teachers’ teaching and research.
Increased rates of cesarean sections and large families: a potentially dangerous combination
Authors: Saleh Ahmed M. , Dudenhausen Joachim W. , Ahmed Badreldeen 
Published: November 2016

AbstractRates of cesarean sections have been on the rise over the past three decades all over the world, despite the ideal rate of 10–15% that had been set by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1985, in Fortaleza, Brazil. This epidemic increase in the rate of cesarean delivery is due to many factors which include, cesarean delivery on request, advanced maternal age at first pregnancy, decrease in number of patients who are willing to try vaginal birth after cesarean delivery, virtual disappearance of vaginal breech delivery, perceived increase in the weight of the fetus and increase in the number of women with chronic medical conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus and congenital heart disease in the reproductive age. There is no doubt that cesarean delivery is a safe procedure and it is getting safer and safer for many reasons. However, like all other surgical procedures it is not without risks both to the mother and the new born. There is a substantial increase in the incidence of morbidly adherent placenta and the risk of scar pregnancy. In the Middle East and many African and Asian countries women tend to have large families. The number of previous cesarean section deliveries is directly proportional to the risk of developing morbidly adherent placenta. Morbidly adherent placenta is the most common cause of emergency postpartum hysterectomy, which is often associated with multiple surgical complications, severe maternal morbidity and mortality. The increased rates of cesarean sections lead to increased rates of scar pregnancies, which can have lethal consequences. Cesarean delivery has a negative impact on the infant immune system. This effect on the infant led to the introduction of a new concept called “Vaginal seeding”. This refers to the practice of transferring some maternal vaginal fluid to the infant born via cesarean section in an effort to enhance its immune system.
Myc. a-o-ri-me-ne and Hom. δόρυ μαίνεται
Authors: Kölligan Daniel 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThe Myc. PN a-o-ri-me-ne may be interpreted as a possessive compound ʻwho has the μένος of the sword’, or as ʻwho has the μένος in the swordʼ, if the compounding vowel -i- was still functional as a locative marker, as Ruijgh proposed, or simply as the combination of the two elements [rage] and [sword]. The interpretation is supported by collocations of words for ʻspearʼ and ʻrageʼ in the epic language. At least in the Homeric world the μένος that temporarily resides in a weapon is probably due to the divine influence of Ares whose fury may enter both the weapon and its possessor.
La etimología de σμάραγδος: una nueva propuesta a la luz del micénico
Authors: Piquero Juan 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThe etymology of σμάραγδος is traditionally related to the Semitic root *brq, ʻto shineʼ. However, this article sets out the idea that this etymology comes from a Semitic word related to the root *wrq, ʻto be greenʼ, which is, in turn, related to myc. pa-ra-ku-we and its derivatives. This new etymology is based on the analysis of the syllabogram *56, which may probably have a value as /ba/ or /
Zur Vorgeschichte des griechischen „Königtums“
Authors: Müller Marko 
Published: November 2016

ZusammenfassungGegenstand des Aufsatzes ist eine neue Deutung der qa-sire- we. Dafür werden zunächst einige Grundsätze vorgestellt, die bei der Interpretation mykenischer Rollenbezeichnungen zu beachten sind. Anschließend wird begründet, warum die bei Untersuchungen zu den qa-si-re- we bisher primär herangezogenen Texte der Subserie Jn nur sekundär herangezogen werden dürfen. Vorrangig wichtig sind vielmehr Texte, die qa-si-re-we zum Hauptgegenstand haben. Nach diesen ist eine Beschäftigung mit Rindern charakteristisch für die qa-si-re-we. Die bisher angenommene Verbindung von qa-si-re-we mit Gold besteht dagegen nicht. Insgesamt scheinen die qa-si-re-we keine palastferne Stellung gehabt zu haben und auch keine vorpalatialen Amtsträger gewesen zu sein.
WALWET and KUKALIM
Authors: Dale Alexander 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThis paper examines the walwet and kukalim legends appearing on early electrum coinage from Lydia. After a survey of previous interpretations, it is argued that the appurtenance suffix in kukalim functions as a patronymic, ‘I am a son/descendant of Gyges’, referring to Alyattes, whose name is now generally and correctly seen in walwet. Building on this, the chronological implications that this reading poses for the dates of Alyattes are then considered in relation to the revised dating of coins from the Artemisium deposit. It is suggested that Alyattes was already on the Lydian throne by ca. 635 BC, a dating which has further implications for the chronology of other rulers of the Mermnad dynasty.
Nested Regulation in Law and Development: Identifying Sites of Indigenous Resistance and Reform
Authors: Graben Sari 
Published: November 2016

AbstractDespite a radical change in the contemporary regulation of Indigenous lands, comparative scholarship remains focused on state determined rights and their development by the judiciary. This focus is rooted in an assumption that rights recognition bestows protection on identified groups and their lands. However, the model has limited the ability of comparative law to engage with regulatory approaches to Indigenous land tenure – instead characterized by regulatory institutions that enable decision-makers to avoid encounters. This article corrects this anachronism by reframing comparative Indigenous law to better recognize how rights are embedded in nested regimes that legitimate rationalized decision-making. The concept of nested regimes, which has mostly been used internationally, is applied in the domestic context in order to clarify where regulatory authority overlaps and how decision-making on rights or its avoidance impacts other actors. Using several institutions – the judiciary, the executive, private industry, police, and Indigenous communities – the article illustrates how overlapping regimes attempt to avoid a rights based discourse and therefore complicate Indigenous strategies of resistance and reform. In doing so, this article presents the outlines of a larger project to develop methodologies that pay attention to the regulatory dimension of implementing constitutionally secured rights. This contributes to the growing interest in synthesizing law and development, comparative law and regulatory perspectives; disciplines which have remained intellectually isolated from each other until recently.
Are there differences in the attractiveness of shopping centres? Experiences from the Czech and Slovak Republics
Authors: Kunc Josef , Križan František , Bilková Kristína , Barlík Peter , Maryáš Jaroslav 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The measurement and evaluation of the attractiveness of shopping centres in the Czech and the Slovak Republics is examined in this paper, countries which had experienced seventy years of development within a single state. The methodological basis for measuring the attractiveness of 130 shopping centres is an evaluation of the factors that can be described as objective (exogenous and endogenous) and subjective (in vivo and in vitro approach). An aggregate indicator of the overall attractiveness of each shopping centre was computed as a combination of the sub-variables. Based on previous international studies, the factors (variables influencing attractiveness) that are typical for shopping malls anywhere in the world, as well as for the original specific information for the Czech-Slovak retail environment, enable a generalization of the results at least to the East Central European level, and to carry out a comparison with any other market environment.
Some dilemmas of post-industrialism in a region of traditional industry: The case of the Katowice conurbation, Poland
Authors: Krzysztofik Robert , Tkocz Maria , Spórna Tomasz , Kantor-Pietraga Iwona 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The problem of using the concept of post-industrialism to define regions with traditional industries is addressed in this article. It focuses on the diversity of industrial development in the Katowice conurbation (Poland) and the difficulties of situating the region in the widely-used taxonomy by Phelps and Ozawa, which assumes a one-way transition from the late-industrial to post-industrial stage. The authors point to the fact that only some of the towns can be described as post-industrial, since there are also towns in which traditional industries continue to develop relatively well and others at an advanced stage of re-industrialisation. The proposal is made that the Katowice conurbation can be described as a “trans-industrial region” in order to account for the various stages of development in the industrial sector in the towns of the conurbation, and to underline the dynamic nature and temporal variability of the industrialisation factor in the region.
New business models for state companies in the oil industry
Authors: Tanţău Adrian D. , Khorshidi Mohammadreza 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
In the scientific literature business models are defined as architecture of the value creation, profit formula, key processes and key resources. For the oil industry there is a need to develop new business models that have to describe the specificity of this industry and to take into consideration the new objectives after the global oil crisis. Although crude oil price has dropped dramatically since second quarter 2014, OPEC raised crude output to the its highest value in more than three years as it pressed on with a strategy to protect market share and pressure competing producers. The objective of this article is to identify and promote new business models for state companies in the oil industry. The research methodology is based on case studies that present and analyze the business models in two of the main oil producers Iran and Iraq, where the state companies are playing an important role in this industry. The subject is relevant because the business models for state companies in the oil industry have to be modified after the oil crisis and these are not real analysed in the scientific literature. Furthermore, the aspects discussed in the current article represent the main factors that will influence investment prospects of companies in the field in the next decade.
Lexicographica et onomastica Graeca
Authors: Curbera Jaime 
Published: November 2016

AbstractA great many Greek simple names originated as appellatives for young children. The terms that lie behind these names were not always of the kind we find in literary texts (and in our dictionaries), and are therefore records of as-yet unknown popular Greek. This is the underlying theme in the seven discussions presented here, where we examine proper names formed on reflexive pronouns, and on the nouns ἱκέτης, λάθυρος, μύναρος, νόθος, σίνις, and σωμάτιον.
Re-experiencing the Past
Authors: Nijk Arjan A. 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThe aim of this article is to make a contribution towards a fuller understanding of thepraesens pro praeterito(the present referring to past states of affairs, more commonly known as ‘historical present’) in Classical Greek by studying its use in non-narrative discourse in tragedy. The case of Sophocles’Oedipus Rexserves as a framework for this survey. Taking the relevant present forms in this play as a starting point, three groups of verbs are subjected to close analysis: verbs of ‘dying’/‘perishing’, of ‘giving birth’/‘begetting’, and of ‘killing’. It is argued that the primary indicative forms referring to the past belonging to these verbs do not stand for perfects, as is often suggested, but retain their specific value: they construe the designated events as somehow part of the speaker’s ‘immediate reality’. Specifically in theOedipus,the present is used bythe protagonist and his co-operative interlocutors to highlight those facts that are crucial to Oedipus’ quest of finding out the killer’s, and with that his own, identity.
Mother-Child Conversations and Child Memory Narratives: The Roles of Child Gender and Attachment
Authors: Kelly Kimberly R. 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThis study examined the roles of child gender and attachment in mother-child narrative conversations and child independent narratives. Children (Mage= 56 months) told personal narratives independently and while engaged in narrative conversations with their mothers. The Attachment Story Completion Task-Revised (Verschueren & Marcoen, 1994) measured child attachment representations. Results indicated that attachment was linked to maternal conversational style and child independent narratives. Mothers with secure sons continued their topics more than mothers of secure daughters, and secure boys’ independent narratives were less elaborative than those of secure girls. However, no gender differences were found among insecure dyads. We argue that mothers of secure boys sensitively recognize their sons’ cues within the conversational context and respond to the need for further verbal assistance, thus providing more on-topic replies in narrative conversations.
Phosphorus in Sintered Steels: Interaction of Phosphorus with Mo
Authors: Danninger H. , Üregen B. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Phosphorus as an alloy element is quite common in powder metallurgy, the contents industrially used being markedly higher than those present in wrought steels. However, embrittlement effects are reported also for sintered steels, in part depending on the alloy elements present. In this study, the influence of phosphorus addition on the mechanical properties of PM steels alloyed with Mo, as the most common VI group element in sintered steels, was investigated. PM steels of the type Fe-x%Mo-0.7%Cy% P were manufactured with varying contents of Mo and P, respectively. It showed that P activates sintering also in these materials and enhances Mo homogenization, but there is in fact a risk of embrittlement in these steels that however strongly depends on the combination of Mo and P in the materials: If a critical level is exceeded, embrittlement is observed. At low Mo contents, higher P concentrations are acceptable and vice versa, but e.g. in a material Fe-1.5%Mo-0.7%C-0.45%P, pronounced intergranular embrittlement occurs, further enhanced by sinter hardening effects. This undesirable phenomenon is more pronounced at higher sintering temperatures and in case of faster heating/cooling; it was observed both in materials prepared from mixed and prealloyed powders, respectively. This typical intergranular failure observed with embrittled specimens, in particular after impact testing, indicates the precipitation of brittle phases at the grain boundaries, apparently when exceeding the solubility product between Mo and P.
Effects of mechanical strength, working temperature and wax lubricant on tribological behavior of polystyrene
Authors: Khun Nay Win , Liu Erjia 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The tribological properties of polystyrene (PS) samples with different mechanical strengths were systematically investigated. The friction of the PS samples tested against a 6 mm steel ball significantly increased with increased working temperature from room temperature (RT) to glass transition temperature (Tg)+20°C, while their wear apparently decreased. The harder PS samples exhibited lower friction and wear for all working temperatures. Lubricating the PS samples with wax lubricant at RT resulted in much lower friction and wear compared to those of the ones tested dry, because the wax lubricant effectively lubricated the rubbing surfaces. Addition of soda lime glass microspheres into the wax lubricant slightly lowered the friction of the PS samples with lower hardness compared to that of the same ones lubricated without the microspheres, due to the reduced direct contact between two rubbing surfaces and the free-rolling effect of the microspheres.
Temperature rise in a verging annular die
Authors: Younes Georges R. , Giacomin A. Jeffrey , Gilbert Peter H. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Plastic pipes, tubes or catheters are extruded by pressure-driven flows through annular dies. Whereas die lands are straight, the section connecting the die land to the extruder either converges or diverges, converging when the product is smaller than the extruder barrel, and diverging when larger. In this paper, we carefully consider the converging or diverging connecting flows, in spherical coordinates, for the most common configuration: the Newtonian pressure-driven flow through the annulus between two coapical coaxial cones. We derive the exact analytical solution for the velocity profile, and then use this to arrive at the exact analytical solution for the temperature rise caused by viscous heating. We care about this rise because it often governs maximum throughput, since pipe makers must protect the melt from thermal degradation. We find that both the velocity profile, and the temperature profile, peak over the same conical surface and this surface is nearer the inner die wall. We also provide analytical expressions for the nonlinear pressure profile and the die cooling requirement. We find that this cooling requirement is always higher on the inner cone.
Politeness in ancient Rome: Can it help us evaluate modern politeness theories?
Authors: Dickey Eleanor 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThis paper takes four frameworks for understanding linguistic politeness (Brown and Levinson, Watts, Terkourafi, Hall) and tests each on the same corpus to see whether they yield results that are useful and/or in keeping with the other information we have about the material. The corpus used consists of 661 polite requests made in letters by a single Roman author, Cicero. The results demonstrate first that politeness theories are helpful as explanatory tools even in dealing with very well-known material, and second that no one theory is best: different theories are more and less useful in answering different questions about the data. It is therefore suggested that the use of multiple frameworks will provide the best understanding of the data.
MRSA in recurrent frontal sinusitis
Authors: Budu Vlad , Costache Andreea , Decuseara Tatiana , Coman Alexandru , Guliga Alexandra , Baican Raluca , Panfiloiu Alexandru , Bulescu Ioan , Goanta Cristina , Ionita C. , Tusaliu Mihail 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The authors present a case of recurrent frontal rhinosinusitis, for which the drug therapy was ineffective. To avert the risk of complications, multiple classic and endoscopic surgical procedures were performed on the frontal sinus pathology.
The bacterium involved in this form of rhinosinusitis was represented by a Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) diagnosed during the first endoscopic approach (the second surgical procedure) for which the treatment corresponding to the antibiogram was followed. At the last hospitalization, the patient has underwent a frontal bilateral drainage surgery (modified Lothrop procedure) and started an adequate anti-MRSA treatment.
The authors wondered whether multiple recurrences of frontal rhinosinusitis are determined by an incomplete drainage, by a persistent infection with MRSA or by both.
