Informal Institutions in the Regulatory State: The Case of Bureaucracy in India
Authors: Goyal Yugank 
Published: May 2017

AbstractDevelopment narratives have often hinged on the idea of regulatory governance, particularly in developing countries where the regulatory agencies are generally dysfunctional. The paper argues that inefficient performance of regulatory agencies of poor countries can be explained, inter alia, by the existence of informal institutions that are embedded in these ‘formal’ organizations. Presence of informal networks in a regulatory governance structures may often erode the independence of the agency while benefiting the network. As an important factor overlooked in literature, informality in regulatory bodies breaks the mainstream narrative of regulatory bodies. I use the example of India and examine the institutional endowments of informality and its stickiness through time in regulatory frames. I show how the informal network of civil servants permeates every regulatory agency in the country and undermines an independent functioning. Policy conclusions follow.

Authors: Lancok Adriana , Volfova Lenka 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Iron is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and also in Mössbauer research. The present study is a summary of our search for iron compounds that now play an important role in the development of specific areas of inorganic chemistry of iron, biological applications and pigment for various types of artworks. The different catalytic or biologically active systems were studied in particular of the Mössbauer spectrometry, including temperature dependencies of the biological tissue and the synthetic vivianite. Mössbauer spectrometry was chosen as the main investigation tool for identification of Fe2+ and Fe3+. We are identified divalent and trivalent iron in the samples and we found their mutual ratio. The iron sandwich complexes exhibit a linear dependence between quadrupole splitting and number of methyl groups. We also determined temperature of transformation of divalent to trivalent iron for vivianite sample that are used in painting. The transformation temperature is about 90°C.
Mesoporous organo-inorganic hybrid materials as hydrogenation catalysts
Authors: Karakhanov Eduard , Maximov Anton , Boronoev Maksim , Kulikov Leonid , Terenina Maria 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The paper concerns application of two types of organic materials – porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) with diamond-like structure and the ordered mesoporous phenol-formaldehyde polymers (MPFs) – as supports for metal and metal sulfide nanoparticles. The obtained hybrid materials were tested in hydrogenation of various unsaturated and aromatic compounds. Ruthenium catalyst, based on PAF (Ru-PAF-30), possessed high activity in exhaustive hydrogenation of phenol into cyclohexanol with TOF value of 2700 h−1. Platinum catalyst, based on modified with sulfo-groups MPF (MPF-SO3H-Pt), was selective in semi-hydrogenation of terpenes, [α-terpinene, γ-terpinene, terpinolene, (s)-limonene]. Bimetallic Ni–W sulfide catalysts, prepared by in situ decomposition of [(n-Bu)4N]2Ni(WS4)2 within the pores of MPFs and PAFs, possessed high efficiency in hydrogenation-hydrocracking of naphthalenes as model substrates.
(Re)Politicizing Security? The Legitimation and Contestation of Mass Surveillance after Snowden
Authors: Hegemann Hendrik , Kahl Martin 
Published: May 2017

AbstractEver since the revelations by Edward Snowden, there has been a political debate about the appropriateness of mass surveillance by intelligence agencies. At the same time, surveillance practices based on complex technologies, which are almost invisible in everyday life and interlinked across national borders, have run into scarcely any widespread social protest. That is why this article poses the question: are the powers of depoliticized governance – which can rely on sustained diffuse acceptance based on an ever-widening discourse about dangers and technocratic risk management – making themselves evident here? Or is the post-Snowden debate showing signs of shifting toward (re)politicization of security policy, which is making appropriate measures and actors the subjects of public discourse and politically responsible decision making? By asking these questions, this article questions the widespread thesis of an across-the-board depoliticization of security governance, develops a conceptual framework for a differentiated analysis of politicization processes, with a special focus on the security field, and applies this framework to the specific case of the debate in Germany about the disclosures by Edward Snowden. By following this approach, the article strives to contribute to improved understanding of the dynamics, conditions and limitations of politicization in the purportedly special area of security.

AbstractATRX is a chromatin remodelling factor found at a wide range of tandemly repeated sequences including telomeres (TTAGGG)n. ATRX mutations are found in nearly all tumours that maintain their telomeres via the alternative lengthening of telomere (ALT) pathway, and ATRX is known to suppress this pathway. Here, we show that recruitment of ATRX to telomeric repeats depends on repeat number, orientation and, critically, on repeat transcription. Importantly, the transcribed telomeric repeats form RNA–DNA hybrids (R‐loops) whose abundance correlates with the recruitment of ATRX. Here, we show loss of ATRX is also associated with increased R‐loop formation. Our data suggest that the presence of ATRX at telomeres may have a central role in suppressing deleterious DNA secondary structures that form at transcribed telomeric repeats, and this may account for the increased DNA damage, stalling of replication and homology‐directed repair previously observed upon loss of ATRX function.
A (des)confiança na polícia: uma comparação entre a relação do Ministério Público e a polícia no Brasil e na França
Authors: Barros Geraldo Pedro Heitor , Barçante Luiza Felix de Souza 
Published: May 2017

Este trabalho busca analisar a relação entre a polícia e o Ministério Público no Brasil e na França, através da comparação entre duas pesquisas de campo, contrastando seus dados. No caso brasileiro, trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo sobre a organização do trabalho realizado nos gabinetes da Procuradoria de Justiça do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Compara-se ela com outra pesquisa em que foi feita a observação de audiências criminais em diferentes fóruns do sudeste francês. Assim, procura-se compreender como estas instituições têm sentidos diversos nesses países, explicitando como a transparência e a cooperação na administração da justiça produzem a confiança entre os atores no caso francês ao passo que a opacidade das formas de produção dos pareceres e a disputa institucional pelo controle sobre os fatos caracteriza tal relação no caso brasileiro.
Aportes de la Economía Política internacional a la comprensión teórica de la relación entre el FMI y los países en desarrollo
Authors: Nemiña Pablo 
Published: May 2017

Si bien existe consenso en que el FMI tuvo éxito en globalizar y extender la dominación de las finanzas hacia los países en desarrollo, la relación entre este organismo y los países en desarrollo no constituye un vínculo en el cual el primero impone y los segundos acatan; ni tampoco uno en el cual el rganismo se muestra inevitablemente disconforme frente a los ncumplimientos de los países. La comprensión del sentido histórico de la relación y del cambiante equilibrio de fuerzas entre actores requiere analizar las sucesivas negociaciones mediante las cuales emergen y se resuelven os conflictos entre ambos actores. El objetivo de este trabajo es plantear una contribución sobre el estatus teórico de la relación entre el FMI y los países en esarrollo, dado su rol de principales tomadores de crédito, que recupera los aportes de la Economía Política Internacional sobre la importancia de los intereses y la contribución de la Sociología respecto de la crítica a la acción racional. Se propone un marco de análisis que permite considerar la relación entre el FMI y los países en desarrollo como un vínculo complejo y dinámico cuyo resultado no está determinado de antemano.
Pontos de inflexão para a análise do pensamento vianniano: as posições de Oliveira Vianna sobre a entrada de 3.000 chineses no Brasil e o seu trabalho de consultor jurídico (1932-1940)
Authors: Fontana Felipe 
Published: May 2017

Oliveira Vianna é um relevante expoente de nosso pensamento social e político e é justamente por isso que encontramos muitos estudos que buscam esmiuçar determinadas questões de seu pensamento ou compreender as raízes do mesmo. No entanto, se há certa facilidade em localizar trabalhos dedicados à revista do autor e de sua teoria, o mesmo não ocorre quando o interesse é investigar, por meio dos relatórios/pareceres técnicos produzidos por Vianna, a especificidade do trabalho político desenvolvido por ele entre os anos de 1932 e 1940. Nessa direção, este artigo apresentará pontualmente as posições de Vianna acerca da introdução de 3.000 chineses no Brasil. Elas estão explicitadas em um parecer técnico encaminhado por ele, através do Ministério do Trabalho, Indústria e Comércio, ao Ministério das Relações Exteriores. A realização de tal tarefa nos auxilia tanto na complexificação de algumas interpretações sobre o pensamento vianniano, quanto para dimensionarmos parte a especificidade de seu trabalho político como statemaker. Por fim, encontramos nesse parecer uma clara intersecção entre o Oliveira Vianna intelectual e o Oliveira Vianna consultor jurídico.

Predator odor induces genome instability in the mouse bone marrow cells
Authors: Glinin Timofey S , Starshova Polina A , Shubina Victoria A , Anisimova Margarita V , Bondarenko Anton A , Moshkin Mikhail P , Daev Eugene V 
Published: May 2017

Background. Long coevolution of prey and predator species of mammals creates specific mechanisms of their interaction, e. g. preys innate behavior aversive to the predator odor. However, little is known about genetic responses in the prey organism. We assessed genome instability of the bone marrow cells in mice affected by the cats odor influence, and proposed pathway of such action.
Materials and methods. CBA mouse males were exposed to volatiles from adult cat urine for 2 or 24 hours. To estimate the genetic effect, ana-telophase method of chromosome aberration analysis and comet assay were used. The level of corticosterone was also measured after the exposure for 30 or 60 minutes.
Results. The exposure to cats urine volatiles for 2 hours induced damage of DNA in bone marrow cells of the mouse males as was shown by the DNA comet analysis. The exposure for 24 hours elevated the frequency of chromosome aberrations in mitotically dividing cells at ana-telophase stage. No significant changes were found in the level of corticosterone in the peripheral blood.
Conclusion. We have shown that volatile chemosignals from predators urine induce genomic instability in bone marrow cells of a prey. The hormonal pathway of such influence is still unknown. Intraorganismic paths leading to genome damage are discussed as well as far consequences of discovered effects.
Prevalence rates of Wolbachia endosymbiotic bacterium in natural populations of Ostrinia Nubilalis and Ostrinia Scapulalis (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea: Crambidae) in South-Western Russia

Published: May 2017

Background. Endosymbiotic bacteria of the genus Wolbachia are widespread in arthropods and often cause reproductive abnormalities in lepidopteran insects, including corn borers of the genus Ostrinia. Wolbachia-Ostrinia is a promising model for studies of parasite-host interactions yet parasite prevalence in natural insect host populations remains unknown.
Materials and Methods. Molecular genetic screening and statistical analysis is applied to evaluate prevalence rates of Wolbachia in sympatric populations of two corn borer species. Individual genomic DNA samples were extracted from last instar larvae collected in nature from different forage plants. For each sample of DNA showing positive signal with insect-specific primers the detection is performed using three diagnostic loci of Wolbachia: 16SrRNA, gatB and fbpA.
Results. Wolbachia-positive signal is obtained for 13.5% larvae of Ostrinia nubilalis (N = 141) and 31.9% larvae of Ostrinia scapulalis (N = 138). In different localities the Wolbachia prevalence ranged from 2.9% (N = 34) to 65.8% (N = 38). Significantly higher rates of Wolbachia prevalence in insects from mugwort and hemp (O. scapulalis) as compared to those from corn (O. nubilalis) are revealed in three out of four localities.
Conclusions. Endosymbiotic bacteria of the genus Wolbachia are revealed in natural populations of corn borers for the first time for Eastern Europe. The prevalence rates can be high and this should be taken into consideration when reproductive isolation is examined in population of these hosts as well as establishment of laboratory cultures is performed.

Causes of Child Marriages in Zimbabwe: A Case of Mashonaland Province in Zimbabwe
Authors: Dzimiri Cynthia , Chikunda Plaxedes , Ingwani Viola 
Published: May 2017

<div><p><em>Increasing concerns on the welfare of a girl child world wide is observed and yet there are significant matters still to be discussed. In addition to all the causes raised by other researchers one of the objectives of this study is to focus on the impact of the legal systems that are already in place on child marriage. This is elucidated by a sample of thirty (30) participants in one of the districts within Mashonaland Province of Zimbabwe. This study examines the reasons why child marriage is on the rise in this province and what the law, parents, teachers and the children themselves say about it which seems to be a dearth study in this issue. The study also focuses on the solutions to this disturbing issue. The researchers employed descriptive survey as a way of collecting evidence, analysing and reporting on the findings (Chiromo, 2009) and triangulation which refers to the use of multiple sources of data ( Palmer and Quinn, 2003 in Chinomona and Tam, 2013 ). Various independent sources of evidence including interviews, focus group discussion and document analysis provided the data. Data collection and analysis were done at the same time for accuracy’s sake. The results indicate that the major causes of child marriage in this province in particular are religious beliefs and practices as also indicated in the research by Masinire (2015). In addition to that the following were also highlighted as other factors that contribute to child marriage: lack of serious sex education in schools due to cultural beliefs and practices, socio-economic background of learners, early socialisation, parental expectations and level of education and also lack of adequate knowledge on the children‘s rights and other legal systems that support them. Shortcomings of these policies are discussed and recommendations are given before paving way forward for other researchers. </em></p></div>
Evaluation of passive reduction of nitrate from greenhouse effluent by planted bioreactors
Authors: Fatehi Pouladi S. , Anderson B. C. , Wootton B. , Rozema L. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
A number of pilot-scale gravel and wood-chip hybrid bioreactors planted with select species, together with unplanted units, were evaluated for their nutrient removal capabilities from the typical greenhouse effluent with high levels of nitrate and salts. Two levels of nutrient solution (high and low loading: HL/LL) were prepared to simulate the typical characteristics of the greenhouse effluent. The wood-chip bioreactor with Typha angustifolia exhibited the highest consistent nutrient treatment with an average nitrate reduction in the LL phase of 88.4% (28.2 g N m−3 media day−1) and phosphate reduction of 34.4%. The nitrate reduction in this bioreactor was the highest among the values reported in the literature. The near-complete denitrification developed provided a nitrate-limiting environment as evidenced by an average 21.5% sulfate reduction. The distinct increase in the outflow organic carbon (as BOD5) from the wood chips in the bioreactor planted with T. angustifolia appeared to be the key explanation for the efficient denitrification, while the other vegetated bioreactors resulted in 19.0%–36.5% nitrate reduction and low outflow BOD5 near the end of the experiment, indicating carbon limitation in these bioreactors.

Published: May 2017

Objective: To analyze the results of surgical correction of patients with tricuspid pathology in rheumatic multi-valvular heart disease.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of surgical correction of tricuspid valve disease in 292 patients with rheumatic multi-valvular heart defects, who underwent surgery in our clinic.

Results: The age of our patients ranged from 12 to 74 years (mean age 36.7 (9.4) years), among them 197 (67.4%) women and 95 (32.6%) - men. According to the degree of circulatory disorders, 21 (7.2%) patients were in NYHA class III and 271 (92.8%) patients - class IV. Of them 235 (80.5%) patients were operated by the method of De Vega using plastic fibrous ring. After tricuspid valve (TV) and fibrous ring repair in 26.9% - tricuspid regurgitation disappeared, in 62.8% - regurgitation decreased to the 1st degree, and the remaining 10.3% of patients had 2nd (moderate) degree tricuspid regurgitation. In 7 (2.38%) cases of infective endocarditis, the "open heart surgery" correction – replacement of TV with biological prosthesis was made. Creation of the bicuspid tricuspid valve techniques was used in 13.4% of cases.

Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that correction of tricuspid valve disease in our cohort of patients, including valve repair and replacement and reconstructive surgery of fibrous ring alone or in combination with mitral or aortic valve replacement/ repair is accompanied by reduction of tricuspid regurgitation and reduction of cardiac chamber size and right ventricular pressure. No complications intrinsic to operative technique of tricuspid valve reconstructive surgery as advanced atrioventricular block or myocardial ischemia and infarction were recorded.
