Vertical expandable prosthetic titanium ribs (VEPTR) in early-onset scoliosis: Impact on thoracic compliance and sagittal balance
Authors: Konieczny M.R. , Ehrlich A-K. , Krauspe R. 
Published: February 2017

Background Theoretically, dynamic thoracic compliance (DTC) should be reduced by vertical expandable prosthetic titanium ribs (VEPTR) since titanium rods, scar tissue and ossifications increase stiffness of the rib cage. The effect of VEPTR on thoracic compliance has not yet been elucidated. The impact of VEPTR on the development of sagittal balance has not been fully investigated. Patients and Methods In a retrospective study, we investigated 21 consecutive children who were treated by VEPTR from 2004 to 2011 and three control groups. We compared the development of thoracic compliance during growth to Nr1. Development of sagittal balance during growth was compared to Nr2 and to Nr3 (which has been instrumented from ileum to rib). Mean follow-up was 60.67 months (standard error of the mean (SE 4.77). Results The difference of change of DTC during growth of VEPTR group versus a control group was not significant (p < 0.05). However, initial DTC and DTC at last follow-up of VEPTR group were lower than DTC of the control group. The difference was significant (p < 0.05). Mean correction of Cobb angle after the first operation was 16.41° (SE 3.01). Until last follow-up, we saw a loss of correction of 8.23° (SE 3.22). The differences between the development of parameters of sagittal balance during growth between the VEPTR group, control group 2 and control group 3 were not significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions VEPTR treatment should start as early as possible since VEPTR seems to lead to an increased rate of DTC that is similar to healthy controls. Sagittal balance showed a similar development as in healthy children.

Published: February 2017

Abstract
The Identification List of Binaries (ILB) is a star catalogue constructed to facilitate cross-referencing between different catalogues of binary stars. As of 2015, it comprises designations for approximately 120 000 double/multiple systems. ILB contains star coordinates and cross-references to the Bayer/Flemsteed, DM (BD/CD/CPD), HD, HIP, ADS, WDS, CCDM, TDSC, GCVS, SBC9, IGR (and some other X-ray catalogues), PSR designations, as well as identifications in the recently developed BSDB system. ILB eventually became a part of the BDB stellar database.
Has Creativity Research Become a Trivial Pursuit?
Authors: Lubart Todd , Caroff Xavier 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Based on Glăveanu’s target article, issues raised about the psychometric approach to creativity research are examined. Criticisms of divergent thinking tests, such as the unusual uses of an object test, are examined. Arguments supporting the theoretical and practical utility of divergent thinking tests are presented. It is furthermore suggested that tests are best conceived and used in contextualized ways. The example of measures of divergent thinking which were designed for managers is presented. Finally, the psychometric approach encompasses many aspects of creativity beyond divergent thinking, as illustrated by recent work on the evaluation of creative potential (the EPoC battery). In the EPoC assessment, both divergent-exploratory thinking and convergent-integrative thinking are measured in a range of contextual domains, such as the visual-graphic, verballiterary, social problem solving ones. This work contrasts with the simplistic, and restrictive view of the unusual uses of an object test as the epitome of the psychometric approach to creativity.
Knowing Creativity. Commentary on Glăveanu, V. (2014). The Psychology of Creativity: A Critical Reading
Authors: Tan Ai-Girl 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
In this commentary an indispensable aspect of creativity, knowing creativity, is articulated as a response to Glăveanu’s (2014) inquiry into advancement of the field of the psychology of creativity. Connotations of knowing are presented such as perceiving and understanding ourselves within our environment. Accordingly, knowing creativity is about genuinely seeing, sensing, feeling, and relating creativity for self and the common good.
A Few Words about Tomasz Sobczak’s Easel Painting “You Are an Artist Only from Time to Time” (Mr. Nobody)
Authors: Sobczak Tomasz 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The energy of a painting is born with every brush stroke. The vitality, the acerbity, the distance, the record of emotions in general - these are only a few elements of the reality in which a PAINTING is born. In the likeness of fulfilment together with the projection of dreams. A unique diary of passing thoughts that are written within a line and a dab, thoughts that would never find their way to a recipient if not for the genius of an attempt. An attempt to register a mood, the moments when one looks for respite, together with the moments infused with the fever of the creation of answers to a question of the order and the harmony. The meaning of creation, constant in its message. Give the best you may and can give, and you will get even more. May you, dear sir, keep living in a creative and unique way! May you, dear lady, keep living in a creative and unique way!
From Big Bang to Big Gap? Potential Links Between Agency-Communion Orientation and Perception of Creativity in Computer Science
Authors: Kwaśnik Marta 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
This study provides preliminary data on the dynamic role of participants’ agency-communion orientation in their perception of fictional students’ agency, communion and creativity, depending on descriptions of stereotypical and unstereotypical traits and behaviours. I propose that a stereotypically masculine description (i.e. more agentic) will boost the male’s - but not the female’s - perceived creativity. Polish students majoring in computer science (N = 108) read short stories about male and female interns at an IT company. Participants assessed the interns’ agency, communion and creativity. The results demonstrated that the image of the agentic man as well as the participants’ agentic-orientation are significant predictors of a male’s perceived creativity. The findings are discussed in terms of the gender-based nature of the agency-communion concept.

Penelitian mengenai perikanan cantrang yang berkaitan dengan sumber daya ikan demersal sebagai hasil tangkapan utama dilaksanakan selama tahun 2006 - 2007. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui fluktuasi bulanan hasil tangkapan cantrang yang berbasis di Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai Tegal Sari. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei yang meliputi pengambilan contoh dari hasil tangkapan, pencatatan buku bakul dan statistik perikanan pelabuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah trip armada cantrang periode 2006 - 2007 didominansi oleh kapal berukuran 21 - 30 GT. Produksi bulanan Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai Tegal Sari dari tahun 2004 - 2007 berfluktuasi. Secara umum, produksi bulanan pada bulan Nopember 2005 - Desember 2006 jauh lebih tinggi dibanding pada bulan-bulan di tahun 2004 dan 2007. Hal ini karena dipengaruhi oleh fluktuasi jumlah trip dan perkembangan unit penangkapan. Komposisi hasil tangkapan cantrang tahun 2006 berdasarkan pada hasil pengambilan contoh, didominansi oleh ikan coklatan (Scolopsis taeniopterus) (22%), kuniran (Upeneus spp.) (17,4%), dan swangi atau demang (Priachantus sp.) (9,7%). Ratarata laju tangkap pada tahun 2006 dan 2007 berturut-turut 333,6 dan 424 kg/hari. Laju tangkap tahun 2006 cenderung, dipengaruhi oleh fluktuasi musiman, sedangkan laju tangkap tahun 2007 cenderung naik, tidak terpengaruh oleh fluktuasi musiman. Daerah penangkapan armada cantrang yang berbasis di Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai Tegal Sari adalah di sekitar pantai timur Lampung, Tanjung Selatan (Kalimantan Selatan), dan Tanjung Puting (Kalimantan Tengah). The research on danish seine fishery related to demersal fish resources as the main catch was carried out from 2006 - 2007. The research aimed to know monthly fluctuation of the danish seine catch in Tegal Sari landing base. The survey was conducted by sampling the catch, recording data from retailer’s book and landing base statistic. The results showed that number of trip from 2006 - 2007 was dominated by 21 to 30 GT vessel. Monthly production in Tegal Sari landing base on 2004 to 2007 was fluctuated. Generally, monthly production on November 2005 - Desember 2006 was higher than other months on 2004 and 2007. It was caused by fluctuation of trips number and unit fishing developement. The catch composition in 2006 based on sampling result, was dominated by lattice monocle bream (Scolopsis taenipterus) (22%), goatfish (Upeneus spp.) (17.4%), and purple spotted bigeye (Priachantus spp.) (9.7%). Average of catch rate in 2006 and 2007 was 335.6 and 424 kg per day, respectively. The catch rate in 2006 danish seine, Tegal Sari tended to be influenced by season fluctuation. While catch rate in 2007 increased and was not influenced by season. Fishing grounds of danish seine fleet in Tegal Sari landing base were in eastern coast of Lampung waters, Tanjung Selatan (South Kalimantan) and Tanjung Puting (Central Kalimantan), respectively.
From experience to gift. Reflections on life as disclosed to consciousness. Part 2
Authors: Szalay Mátyás 
Published: February 2017

In the first part of this meditation I argued concerning the self-disclosure of life to consciousness that there is something prior to all concrete conscious reflection on life and thus prior to whatever notion of life. We are already affected by life before thematically and reflexively experiencing it.In this second part I would like to investigate how this original vital experience (Erlebnis) in which life is disclosed in a silent way is transformed by consciousness to reflected conscious experiences. This transformation that allows for a new access to life at the same time necessarily goes along with a certain reduction. It is this reduction that has to be traced back in order to discover the full meaning of life, i.e. the donum (the self-giving character of life) behind the data or simple givenness of life.I realize this step analyzing three typical forms of experiences in which life thematically reveals itself, such as new life, death and encounter. In each of these experiences of life the data of life contains a reference to the underlying donation: the self-disclosure of life in form of a gift of life. This allows me to argue that that in any ‘vital-experience’ what offers itself to the personal encounter is the full Life as such. Further I show how the gift of life is to be discovered in all three dimensions of its manifestation: life-world, inner life of the soul and event.

Introducción: este artículo es producto de la investigación desarrollada en la tesis de Maestría titulada “Modelo de elección de modo de transporte entre carretera y ferrocarril para carga general susceptible a exportación-importación. Aplicación al corredor vial Medellín-Puerto de Cartagena”, de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. El objetivo de la investigación es realizar un diagnóstico del ferrocarril en Colombia para descubrir los motivos por los que la industria colombiana, después de haber utilizado principalmente el ferrocarril para transportar sus mercancías por más de 100 años, no utiliza actualmente este modo de transporte, y así evaluar sus posibilidades futuras para transportar mercancías. Metodología: en este estudio se realizó una investigación cualitativa para analizar la evolución del ferrocarril desde su creación hasta su declive y el estado actual del ferrocarril colombiano para el transporte de mercancías. Luego se desarrolló un grupo focal para conocer los motivos por los que la industria colombiana no utiliza el ferrocarril. Resultados: los motivos son principalmente la falta de infraestructura idónea para realizar el transbordo de la mercancía y de confianza en el modo. Conclusiones: es ingente la necesidad de facilitar la implementación de una integración multimodal para el transporte de mercancías en Colombia; de esta manera, el Gobierno colombiano podrá incidir en las variables que la industria considera importantes para utilizar el ferrocarril al momento de implementar una renovación de los ferrocarriles.
Inverse Modeling of Soil Hydraulic Properties in a Two‐Layer System and Comparisons with Measured Soil Conditions
Authors: Thomas Nicholas , Schilling K.E. , Amado Antonio Arenas , Streeter Matthew , Weber Larry 
Published: February 2017

Core Ideas
Soil hydraulic properties were inverse modeled to in situ soil water content.
The most appropriate soil property depths were identified.
Best‐fit soil parameter depths compared well with characterized soil stratigraphy.
Site‐specific monitoring and subsurface boundary conditions improved performance.
Modeling of spatial and vertical variability in soil hydraulic properties is a pervasive dilemma in computational hydrology. In an effort to provide guidance in inverse modeling of soil hydraulic properties, this study (i) calibrated soil hydraulic properties, for different soil layer depths, to measured soil moisture, (ii) identified the best‐suited soil thickness through validation, and (iii) post‐validated the resulting best‐fit soil properties and layer depth to the observed soil stratigraphic conditions. Soil property depths were varied to identify the most important stratigraphic features in soil water modeling. Statistical and graphic goodness‐of‐fit measures indicated that calibration and validation simulations performed better at shallow depths and generally worsened with depth. A comparison of differences in modeled soil layering at two field sites reflected differences in the observed soil stratigraphic conditions. Comparison with in situ soil stratigraphy indicated the importance of soil horizon changes and human‐induced alterations to the near‐surface soils. These results indicate that soil moisture dynamics can be effectively modeled using basic soil input data and inverse methods. However, to improve model performance, a site‐specific field monitoring campaign is needed to properly account for the effects of soil stratigraphy and boundary conditions.

Abstract: A Method in Learning Magnetic Substance Characteristics and Identifying Natural Sand Compound Contents Through Basic Principles in Physics. This study was conducted by separating ferrate sand from natural sand in an area in Indramayu Regency in the form of the titanomagnetite Fe2.5Ti0.5O4 compound by means of a magnetic separator with a power of 0.3 tesla. Using this method, the titanomagnetite content of the natural sand was capable of being improved from 32% to 63.6% (for sand in River Cimanuk’s tributary) based on the analysis using XRD (X-Ray Difractometer) using the GSAS (General Structure Analisis System) program with a Chi2 of 1.454 and Wrp as a correction factor for the difference in the intensity of the two patterns was 0.1142 (11.42%). The value of Chi2 which was almost 1 dan and that of Wrp which was almost 10% showed that the data were acceptable (with a probability of ~0.1). To enhance the titanomagnetite content of the separation product, an extraction-solving process was conducted using HCl 32% and NH4OH 25%. The results of the analysis using XRF (X-Ray Flourosence) showed that the content which was most probably a titanomagnetite compound increased its weight fraction to almost 100%.

Abstract: Craft Skills Learning Through an Approach that Empowers Local Crafts. Craft skills education equips students with practices aiming to make them possess skills through appreciation and creativity activities to produce craft products so that they acquire life skills. Such learning should give them actual learning experiences. It can be carried out by selecting traditional crafts in a particular region and modifying them into modern crafts developed in accordance with the students’ and society’s needs. It can be conducted by means of the OIA (Observe, Imitate, and Add) method to make the students acquire art and craft skills. Craft skills education should employ the contextual approach so that what happens in the learning process at school is identical to what exists in society. An important point that teachers should note is how they can play roles as facilitators and totivators for their students, so that the students’ competence can develop to the maximum.

Abstract
Introduction. In the auxologic literature numerous publications confirming the importance of environmental factors for the biological processes of growth and development of motor skills of children and adolescents can be found. The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the level of somatic development and physical fitness of six-year-old children in urban and rural areas. Material and methods. The study was conducted in 2011-2013. A total of 1,057 children, including the 371 boys and girls from the Warsaw agglomeration and 147 boys and 168 girls from the rural environment in the Lublin region were subjects of the study. The average age was 5.87 (±0.30) years. In order to determine the status of somatic development the following features were measured: height and weight, 3 circumferences (shoulder, chest and waist), and 5 skinfolds (above the biceps and triceps, subscapular, on the stomach and on the calf). To assess the motor level the fitness test was used, consisting of the 5 following tests: seated forward bend, shuttle run 10x5 m, standing long jump, sitting-up for 30 s, and 1 kg medicine ball throw with both hands above the head forward. In the mathematical analysis of numerical data the selected techniques of descriptive statistics and Student's t-test and chisquare test were used. Results. Average values of height and weight, and body circumferences were higher in the rural areas (in these measurements of boys' body weight and broad parameters differed significantly). In environments differing in the degree of urbanization of place of residence a similar level of fatness was reported. In the most tests of physical fitness better results were achieved by rural children. This dominance was found especially in the 10x5 m shuttle run and the medicine ball throw. In these tests, there were significant differences in both sex groups. In addition, rural boys achieved significantly better results in the standing long jump and girls - in forward bend. Conclusions. The presence of signaled in the literature urbanization gradients in the rates of somatic development in favor of the urban population was not confirmed. In terms of selected anthropometric parameters (body circumferences) even a significant advantage of six-year-old children in rural areas against the peers in the city was noted. Dominance of the respondents from the rural environment has also been found in the image of their physical fitness. Higher levels of somatic-motor school readiness of six-year-old children from rural areas as compared with urban peers were shown.
W–Cu composites subjected to heavy hot deformation
Authors: Yu Yang , Xu Xiaoqiang , Zhang Wencong 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThe effect of plastic deformation on the properties and microstructure of W–Cu composites produced by multi-pass hot extrusion with steel cup was investigated. W–Cu composites were sintered at 1 100 °C and then the sintered billets were firstly extruded at 900 °C with different extrusion ratios. The second hot extrusion was performed at 900 °C. The plastic deformation of copper phase plays a dominant part during the whole extrusion process. The microstructural evolution of W phase during the whole processing of heavy hot deformation can be divided into different stages. Experimental results indicate that the W agglomeration will be broken into fine particles effectively when the accumulated plastic deformation amounts to 97.6 % after the second extrusion.
