Abstract
In the present paper, we refer to a method of primary closure of congenital defects of the anterior abdominal wall with tensionless viscero-abdominal disproportion. The study group included 10 animals subjected to surgery of the abdominal wall defect closure with bovine pericardium graft preserved in 0.5% formaldehyde, and 5 rabbits of the same breed and weight, in which bovine fascia graft was used as implant, being preserved in 0.5% formaldehyde. The abdominal anterior wall defect was made surgically by excision of the musculo-fascial structures and peritoneum. Bovine pericardium graft and bovine fascia graft were placed and fixed posteriorly to rectus abdominals muscles, having direct contact with the intra-abdominal contents and protected by suturing skin and subcutaneous layer.
The purpose of the study was to perform a comparative postoperative evaluation of local macroscopic and microscopic changes that develop after reconstruction of the major abdominal wall defects experimentally induced in rabbits, using bovine pericardium and bovine fascia grafts preserved in 0.5% formaldehyde.
In cases of major fascial defects of the anterior abdominal wall, bovine pericardium graft has acceptable strength and biocompatibility, having stabilizing properties of the abdominal wall due to the development of the connective tissue layer located between the implant and the subcutaneous layer. Bovine fascia grafts preserved in formaldehyde have an insignificant irritating and inflammatory action on the intestinal loops compared with bovine pericardium, and do not induce the development of a significant abdominal adhesion process, this allowing their use in the abdominal fascial defects closure with placement in direct contact with the abdominal contents.
A Bastion against Assimilation? Jewish sport in the Netherlands, 1890–1940
Authors: Derks Marjet , Rodenburg Elisa 
Published: June 2017

AbstractDieser Beitrag diskutiert jüdische Sportkulturen in den Niederlanden vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Dabei soll das bisherige Konzept einer vorwiegend segregierten und zionistisch geprägten jüdischen Sportkultur als Ergebnis einer aus der Nachkriegszeit stammenden Sichtweise revidiert werden. Anhand des Beispiels von drei jüdischen Gemeinden, Amsterdam, Groningen und Den Haag, zwischen dem Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts und 1940 wird aufgezeigt, dass die jüdische Sportszene zugleich »assimiliert« und heterogen war, und dass sie Vereine verschiedener sozialer, politischer und religiöser Orientierung umfasste. Wegen des hohen Grads an Integration in die niederländische Gesellschaft, spielte die Frage der niederländischen Identität keine Rolle. Vielmehr beeinflusste die soziale Klasse Fragen von Inklusion und Exklusion. In den 1920er und 1930er Jahren stieg die Anzahl separater jüdischer Vereine ebenso wie die Verbreitung des Zionismus, wenngleich letzterer im Sport ebenso wie das Ideal des Muskeljudentums umstritten blieb. Jüdischer Sport in den Niederlanden war daher weder so profiliert wie anderswo noch ein Instrument der Integration.
Luxury consumption, precautionary savings and wealth inequality
Authors: Campanale Claudio 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Most macroeconomic models are based on the assumption of a single homogeneous consumption good. In the present paper we consider a model with two goods: a basic good and a luxury good. We then apply this assumption to a standard general equilibrium heterogeneous agent model. We find a substantial reduction in precautionary savings compared to a standard model. The effect on wealth inequality turns out to be ambiguous and to depend on the size of the assumed earnings risk.
Lanzelet und sein Schatten
Authors: Barton Ulrich 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Ulrich’s von Zatzikhoven ›Lanzelet‹ seems to be the only medieval version of the Lancelot myth without the adulterous love between the hero and the king’s wife or any other rivalry between King Arthur and the best knight of the Round Table. There are two possible explanations for that issue: Either the version of Ulrich’s romance is prior to the version represented by Chrétien’s de Troyes ›Chevalier de la Charrette‹ and the ›Prose Lancelot‹, or Ulrich’s romance avoids the adultery story on purpose. The present article argues for the second explanation, analysing the ›Lanzelet‹ as an intertextual play with the Lancelot myth, a play which does not simply cut the conflict out, but keeps alluding to it and re-narrates it on different levels (as a kind of ›Schattengeschichte‹). In doing so, the romance reveals the essentials of each Lancelot story as well as the narrative conditions under which the adultery story appears evitable or inevitable.
Textstruktur und Illustrationsprinzipien im ›Welschen Gast‹ des Thomasin von Zerklaere
Authors: Schneider Christian 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This paper reexamines the textual structure and the principles behind the illustrations of Thomasin’s von Zerklaere ›Der Welsche Gast‹. It argues that the book’s discontinuous, digressive, and seemingly unstructured mode of presentation results from an effort to reconfigure and recombine smaller didactic entities, or nuclei, that are shaped by the mediality of the text between literacy, semi-literacy, and orality, Thomasin’s didactic intentions, and the character of the text as a work-in-progress. By comparing the ›Welscher Gast‹ with other illustrated didactic poems, such as the late antique ›Psychomachia‹ and Hugo’s von Trimberg ›Der Renner‹, I provide evidence that the text and image cycle in the ›Welscher Gast‹ are merely a loose conceptual arrangement, and I challenge the widespread notion that both were created under Thomasin’s direction.
Heinrich Seuse in Melk
Authors: Willing Antje 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
In this study, the strong connection existing between the High German and the Low German transmission of Heinrich Seuse’s ›Büchlein der ewigen Weisheit‹ is shown on the basis of the codices 235 and 1389 of the Stiftsbibliothek Melk, which have been written by Lienhart Peuger, as well as on the basis of codex 55 of the same library, which Peuger has edited. Both Melk 235 and Melk 1389 contain extensive enlargements of the text of the ›Büchlein‹ that have their origin in a German version of Seuse’s ›Horologium sapientiae‹ as well as in Saying 203 of the ›Buch der Vollkommenheit‹ of Pseudo-Engelhart von Ebrach; moreover, Peuger integrated these enlargements into the codex Melk 55 that was written by another hand. The same enlargements can also be found in a group of manuscripts of Low and Middle German provenance. That the High German transmission of the ›Büchlein der ewigen Weisheit‹ has been influenced by the Low German one, or vice versa, is furthermore proven by two other groups of manuscripts which are near to each other in the textual versions they transmit. These are, on the one hand, a group of Low German manuscripts which integrate to a great extent passages of the ›Horologium sapientiae‹ into the ›Büchlein der ewigen Weisheit‹, and, on the other hand, a group of High German manuscripts which have readings in common with the group named before, but which do not transmit the insertions contained in them. The redaction of the ›Büchlein der ewigen Weisheit‹ used by Lienhart Peuger for the copying of the codices Melk 235 and Melk 1389 was already in the 14th century so popular in the Low German and in the High German regions that Peuger even corrected an older version of the ›Büchlein‹ according to this redaction. Neither the edited versions, nor the textual connection between the Low German and the High German transmission can be inferred from Karl Bihlmeyer’s publication of the ›Büchlein‹ from 1907. Therefore, a new edition of the ›Büchlein‹ is necessary.

Published: June 2017

AbstractA systematic field survey of an area of 843 ha in the traditional Central-European agricultural landscape of Goričko Nature Park in Slovenia revealed 80 fragments of dry semi-natural grasslands. Vascular plant species diversity was studied in relation to landscape variables and to threat (Slovenian red-listed species). Our results show that fragment size does not affect plant species diversity. In addition, fragment shape index is not related to Alpha diversity. Higher Alpha diversity was observed for abandoned grassland fragments. The lowest Alpha diversity was perceived on more mesic fragments, where habitat specialists are much scarcer. It was confirmed that the highest diversity of specialists are in the driest fragments, both still mowed and abandoned. With an increase in the number of distinctly different bordering habitat types, the total number of species per fragment generally does not increase, except in the case of those fragments that are already in different succession stages. Abandoned and typical dry grasslands are associated with a higher number of bordering habitats. Typical dry grassland fragments and abandoned ones, which probably derived mostly from drier (less productive) grasslands, are found on lower altitude and have a lower shape index. Habitat specialistsSedum sexangulare, Polygala vulgarisandSpiranthes spiralishave higher frequency in fragments with a lower shape index. This means that these oligotrophic specialists occur in smaller fragments. ButOrchis moriohas higher frequencies of occurrence on polygons with a higher shape index, which confirms the observation that this species occurs in larger and more irregular fragments, as well as close to houses and fields and along the roads.

Anatomical and micromorphological properties of some Tanacetum L. (Asteraceae) taxa from Turkey and their systematic implications
Authors: Dere Saban , Aytas Akcin Tulay 
Published: June 2017

AbstractIn this study, the anatomy and trichome micromorphology ofTanacetum macrophyllum(Waldst.& Kit.) Schultz,T. parthenium(L.) Schultz,T. poteriifolium(Ledeb.) Grierson andT. vulgareL. were examined by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Some anatomical characters such as presence of secretory cavities and pith in root and mesophyll type in leaf provide information of taxonomical significance. In addition, the existence of a parenchymatic layer, which consists of elongated parenchymatic cells in the stem ofT. macrophyllum,is a distinguishing character. The results obtained from scanning electron microscope studies showed that trichome micromorphology varies among examined taxa. InT. macrophyllum, the eglandular and glandular trichomes especially on disc florets, ligulate florets and cypselas are more sparse, whereas disc florets and cypselas of the other taxa are covered with abundant glandular trichomes. Additionally,T. poteriifoliumandT. partheniumhas a distinct distribution of glandular trichomes forming in a row across the entire cypsela surface.
Two Women, Two Literatures and One Fight for Dignity and Voice in the Society - About the Mexican Jesusa of Elena Poniatowska and the Polish Marta of Eliza Orzeszkowa
Authors: Kępka Malwina 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Over the last centuries women have fought for their rights. On the pages of literature appeared hundreds of heroines who wanted to change the world. Poniatowska and Orzeszkowa - two women from distant cultures and times - created outstanding literary characters. The novel of Elena Poniatowska, published in 1969, was the chronicle of 20th century in Mexico, which included documentary material about Jesusa Palancares and her story about the revolution in 1910. The work is the epic of the folk hero closed in the labyrinth of solitude and attempt to determine his own character. Jesusa will be compared with Marta, the main character of Eliza Orzeszkowa’s novel, which was published in 1873 and is dedicated to the social rights of women. This contribution aims to discuss the literary techniques and topics in works of the important women-writers in Poland and Mexico. This paper analyses the novels not through feminism, but through the study of culture and politics. In the comparative analysis of Marta and Hasta no verte Jesús mío the paper shows similarities and diversities in the texts, considering differences in national identity and similar social-political situation as a bridge between the cultures.
The Reflection of Leo Tolstoy and Ivan Turgenev Relations in the “Albert” Fabula and Motifs Organization
Authors: Tolstonozhenko Oxana A. 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The short story “Albert” is usually interpreted as a manifestation of Leo Tolstoy’s aesthetics. Thus, the narrative of the story is generally beyond the research scope. Tolstoy had been influenced by Turgenev when writing the story. Their relations were analysed through the sociocultural concept of the literary field. Tolstoy rejected the “patron - newcomer” type of relations. The conflict was explicitly depicted in the story narrative. This observation was confirmed by a comparison of three editions of the story. Albert represented Leo Tolstoy himself when he (the story protagonist) rejected Delesov’s patron intentions.
A phenomenological life evaluation method for corrosion fatigue
Authors: Hou Shanqin , Xu Jinquan 
Published: June 2017

AbstractConsidering interacted damage accumulations induced by corrosion, cyclic fatigue, and stress corrosion cracking, a phenomenological corrosion fatigue (CF) life evaluation formula has been proposed. A concept of nominal CF limit has been introduced, which indicates whether cyclic damage accumulation is active or not. It is found that cyclic fatigue damage accumulation enhanced by corrosion is the dominative damage under relatively high stress amplitudes (compared to the nominal limit), whereas, under low stress amplitudes, corrosion damage accumulation would become the dominative one. Stress amplitudes below the nominal fatigue limit would lead to CF too due to corrosion damage accumulation, which can finally make the effective amplitude larger than nominal limit. Once the parameters included in formula have been determined by uniaxial tests, CF life under any complicated stress state could be estimated in a unified way.
Review paper. Does genius border on insanity? Part I: A relationship between creativity and the presence of psychopathological symptoms in bipolar disorder
Authors: Nowacka Olga , Welcz Henryk , Karakuła-Juchnowicz Hanna 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The theory linking the development of mental disorders with the processes of human evolution assumes that these disorders may be the result of a side effect of natural and sexual selection processes. Creativity is one of the adaptive features associated with the increased incidence of psychopathological symptoms (as compared to the general population).
In this review paper, the definition of creativity has been characterized, and contemporary existing theories on its background, have been presented. Also, the paper describes the relationship between creativity and the presence of psychopathological symptoms. Special attention has been paid to the relationship between creativity and bipolar disorder.
The research results prove the existence of a correlation between a high level of creativity and a higher prevalence of psychopathological symptoms, particularly concerning the symptoms of bipolar disorder spectrum.
Caesarean delivery during dual antiplatelet therapy after acute myocardial infarction and stenting
Authors: Vitezica Irena , von Heymann Christian , Henrich Wolfgang , Bamberg Christian 
Published: June 2017

Abstract

Background
Cardiac disease is the leading cause of maternal mortality during pregnancy in high-resource countries.

Case
A 31-year-old woman had an ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) at 16 gestational weeks. The patient received three coronary drug-eluting stents followed by dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and clopidogrel. An elective caesarean delivery was performed under general anesthesia at 37+1 gestational weeks. Due to subnormal response to clopidogrel, administration was paused only 24 h perioperatively without bridging with tirofiban because of the slightly increased risk of stent thrombosis in clopidogrel nonresponders. There was no postoperative bleeding.

Conclusions
There is a lack of evidence-based guidelines regarding the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during pregnancy; thus, delivery should be performed in a tertiary center with a multidisciplinary approach.
Analysis of the Effect of Multiple Testing in Assessing Tobacco Product Differences
Authors: Verron Thomas , Cahours Xavier , Colard Stéphane 
Published: June 2017

Summary
During the last two decades, an increase of tobacco product reporting requirements from regulators was observed, such as Europe, Canada or USA.
However, the capacity to compare and discriminate accurately two products is impacted by the number of constituents used for the comparison. Indeed, performing a large number of simultaneous independent hypothesis tests increases the probability of rejection of the null hypothesis when it should not be rejected. This leads to virtually guarantee the presence of type I errors among the findings. Correction methods have been developed to overcome this issue like the Bonferroni or Benjamini & Hochberg ones. The performance of these methods was assessed by comparing identical tobacco products with different sizes of data sets. Results showed that multiple comparisons lead to erroneous conclusions if the risk of type I error is not corrected. Unfortunately, reducing the type I error impacts the statistical power of the tests. Consequently, strategies for dealing with multiplicity of data should provide a reasonable balance between testing requirement and statistical power of differentiation. Multiple testing for product comparison is less of a problem if studies restrict to the most relevant parameters for comparison.
Pressure and Gas Flow Distribution Inside the Filter of a Non-Filter Ventilated Lit Cigarette During Puffing

Published: June 2017

Summary
Establishing a realistic gas flow velocity distribution inside a cigarette filter during smoking is important to understand filtration mechanisms of different mainstream smoke species and the overall effect of filter designs on mainstream smoke composition. In this paper, an experimental method is described which directly measures the gas pressure field inside a cellulose acetate filter during cigarette smoking. This was demonstrated by using 3R4F research reference cigarettes smoked under a 35 mL puff of 6 s duration. In addition, filter temperature measurements were also carried out at multiple locations within the filter. Both the temperature and pressure sensing locations were selected to match the radial and longitudinal directions of the cigarette filter. The temperature and pressure measurements were then used to calculate the velocity according to Darcy’s Law along the mainstream flow direction in the cigarette filter at each puff. The spatially resolved maps of temperature, pressure and flow velocity on a puff-by-puff basis provide useful insights into the dynamic filtration of smoke aerosol under the influence of the approaching burning coal and progressive accumulation of smoke particulate matter.

The Exponentiated Generalized-G Poisson Family of Distributions
Authors: Aryal Gokarna R. , Yousof Haitham M. 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
In this article we propose and study a new family of distributions which is defined by using the genesis of the truncated
Poisson distribution and the exponentiated generalized-G distribution. Some
mathematical properties of the new family including ordinary and incomplete
moments, quantile and generating functions, mean deviations, order
statistics and their moments, reliability and Shannon entropy are derived.
Estimation of the parameters using the method of maximum likelihood is discussed.
Although this generalization technique can be used to generalize many other distributions, in this study we
present only two special models. The importance and flexibility of the new
family is exemplified using real world data.
ER stress in neurodegenerative disease: from disease mechanisms to therapeutic interventions
Authors: Cabral-Miranda Felipe , Hetz Claudio 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThe conception that protein aggregates composed by misfolded proteins underlies the occurrence of several neurodegenerative diseases suggests that this phenomenon may have a common origin, ultimately driven by disruption of proteostasis control. The unfolded protein response (UPR) embodies a major element of the proteostasis network, which is engaged by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Chronic ER stress may operate as a possible mechanism of neurodegeneration, contributing to synaptic alterations, neuroinflammation and neuronal loss. In this review we discuss most recent findings relating ER stress and the development of distinct neurodegenerative diseases, and the possible strategies for disease intervention.
