The Concept for the Development of a Functional Area Illustrated by the Case of the Functional Area of the Oder Communes
Authors: Barska Anetta , Jędrzejczak-Gas Janina 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The aim of this article is to present the essence of a functional area as a new tool of the EU regional policy and the course of designing an integrated approach to the development of the functional area. The study is a case study and relates to the methodical process of creating a development concept for the Functional Area of Oder Communes (FAOC). This article is based on the analysis of the domestic and foreign literature on regional development and own experiences and reflections of authors resulting from the work in the team for the development of a strategy for this area. The analysis of domestic and foreign literature allowed for presenting a new paradigm of the local development. The current approach is characterized by a focus on the use of endogenous potentials and territorial targeting of the development, which promotes the creation of functional and spatial structures such as functional areas. Their development requires integrated development planning that provides benefits both in the social and economic dimension. The study presents the new paradigm of the local development in the context of the National Spatial Development Concept 2030. The study presents the theoretical and practical basis for creating a concept for integrated development of a functional area.
Permanence, Adaptation or Reuse:
Transformations in the convents of the city of
Seville
Authors: Cubero Hernández Antonio , Pérez Cano María Teresa 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The rich history of the city of Seville has provided
it a wide architectural heritage, which is necessary
to preserve. In the early twentieth century, Spain began
to express concern about the preservation of its historical
legacy, trying to protect historical and artistic monuments.
However, it was not until the arrival of the democratic political
system that this awareness of preservation took true
precedence over other matters.
In this temporal context, the young Andalusian Government
was looking for definitive venues for the new institutions,
with the target of the upcoming Universal Exhibition
of Seville in 1992. The recognized architect Guillermo
Vázquez Consuegra was commissioned to study a range of
buildings in the city susceptible of hosting new uses, published
in the book “Cien Edificios de Sevilla, susceptibles de
reutilización para usos institucionales”. This work has become
a reference catalogue of Sevillian-built heritage.
Looking at the one hundred (100) buildings studied there,
all of a certain scale in the city, 18 are convents or exconvents.
This paper will try to find out the destiny of these
buildings themselves as monastic heritage, but also in relationship
to other types of heritages.

Abstract
This study developed a mathematical model for
the dispersion and transportation of pollutants in the atmosphere.
The problem associated with the spread of
monodisperse passive tracer from an instantaneous point
source in the atmosphere assuming a partial absorption of
surface impurities is solved. One version of the computational
algorithm and a theoretical justification, is that, the
applicability of numerical methods for computational experiment
is developed. These results are consistent with
the physical laws of the section under consideration.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
In this paper, a methodology of geoinformation
approach to mapping of atmospheric pollution of the air
basin of Almaty city is developed. The proposed method
of presenting data on pollution in form of an algorithm allows
building a map of contamination of the surface layer
of the atmosphere closest to the actually observed one. Designed
object-oriented method of presentation of environmental
pollution in the form of dynamic GIS models can
be used when modeling the ecological status of any area,
megalopolis, i.e. where spatial data, distributed in time, is
used.
Porous Silicon as a Sensitizer for Biomedical
Applications
Authors: Osminkina Liubov A. , Timoshenko Victor Yu. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Porous silicon (PSi) can activate (sensitize) biochemical
reactions and physical processes of the energy
dissipation under excitation (stimulus) by light illumination,
ultrasound (US), and electromagnetic radiofrequency
(RF) irradiation. Photosensitized biochemical
effects of PSi layers and nanoparticles (NPs)were explored
in numerous physical studies and biomedical experiments
in vitro. The photothermal sensitizing with mesoporous
PSi NPs was demonstrated to be efficient for the hyperthermia
of cancer cells and tumors in small animal models.
The sonosensitizing properties of bare PSi NPs and
dextran-coated ones were revealed by both the physical
studies and biomedical experiments, which indicated a
good prospect for their applications in sonodynamic therapy
of cancer. RF-induced hyperthermia sensitized by PSi
NPs has been successfully used to destroy cancer cells and
tumors in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Here, we review
the results on the preparation, physical properties, and applications
of PSi NPs as sensitizers for mild therapy of cancer.
Recognition and Ecological Theology
Authors: Pihkala Panu 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
This article explores the possibilities offered by theories of recognition and identity politics
for a better understanding of religious – in this case, Christian – environmentalism. Insights related to
recognition are gleaned from literature in ecological theology. Themes for further research and possibilities
for practical adaptation are explored. It is argued that theories of recognition help to understand the
dynamics related to processes where a certain group asks for more recognition of nature. Identity questions
and developments in environmentalism are clarified by an understanding of what happens when partial
recognition is granted. The role of mutuality as a basis for recognition is widened by Arto Laitinen’s
proposal for recognition as “adequate regard” for something, i.e. for an ecosystem. The complex relations
between humans and non-human nature are explored through such themes as reciprocity and the question
of “voices” of nature. Creaturely difference and the role of seeing a “face” in nature are discussed in relation
to recognition. The significance of place and environmental conditions for recognition are probed. Special
attention is given to Andrew Dobson’s application of Nancy Frazer’s theory of transformative recognition to
environmental matters, which offers new ways of understanding the role of non-human nature in politics,
ethics and discussions on justice.
False Consciousness and the Socially Extended Mind
Authors: Engelstad Ane 
Published: October 2016

AbstractIn this paper I present a problem for the Marxist idea of false consciousness, namely how it is vulnerable to accusations of dogmatism. I will argue that the concept must be further developed if it is to provide a plausible tool for systematic social analysis. In the second half of the paper I will show how this could be done if the account of false consciousness incorporates Shaun Gallagher’s theory of the socially extended mind. This is a theory that explores how the mind expands towards external objects and systems. I will conclude that it helps to reinstate false consciousness as a reliable tool for the analysis of cognitive dynamics within power structures.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
Herein, an effort was made to investigate the antibacterial potential of agarose nanoparticles (ANPs) and poly(quaternary ammonium) modified ANPs (mANPs) against Escherichia coli (gram-negative bacterium) and Staphylococcus aureus (gram positive bacterium) in liquid systems as well as on agar plates. ANPs were synthesized by nanoprecipitation technology and characterized by XRD, TEM, TGA, DTA and DLS. The particle size estimated was 30 nm while atomic force microscopy was used to observe the interaction of ligand on ANPs. Antimicrobial characterization was monitored by colony forming units (CFU) as a function of ANPs concentration on agar plates. It was observed that ANPs showed 15 × 109/ml CFU after 24 hours of incubation at 20 mM ANPs concentration while the modified ANPs exhibited 21 × 109/ml CFU under similar incubation conditions. Moreover, zone of inhibition (ZOI) was 2.9 and 3.8 cm, respectively for E. coli by ANPs at 0.2 and 0.4 mM, respectively while it was 3.2 and 3.8 cm respectively by modified ANPs under similar conditions. Similarly, ZOI for S. aureus by ANPs at 0.2 and 0.4 mM was observed at 3.1 and 4.0 cm, respectively, while these values were 3.5 and 4.1 cm, respectively for modified ANPs under similar incubation conditions.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
A strain of Haloarcula hispanica isolated from Tuzkoy salt mine, Turkey exhibited extracellular lipolytic activity. Important parameters such as carbon sources and salt concentration for lipase production were investigated. Optimal conditions for the enzyme production from Haloarcula hispanica 2TK2 were determined. It was observed that the lipolytic activity of Haloarcula hispanica was stimulated by some of the carbon sources. The high lipase acitivity values were obtained in the presence of 2% (v/v) walnut oil (6.16 U/ml), 1% (v/v) fish oil (5.07 U/ml), 1% (v/v) olive oil (4.52 U/ml) and 1% (w/v) stearic acid (4.88 U/ml) at 4M NaCl concentration. Lipase was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ultrafiltration. Optimal temperature and pH values were determined as 45°C and 8.0, respectively. Lipase activity decreased with the increasing salt concentration, but 85% activity of the enzyme was maintained at 5M NaCl concentration. The enzyme preserved 41% of its relative activity at 90°C. The partially purified lipase maintained its activity in the presence of surfactants such as Triton X-100 and SDS. Therefore, the lipase which is an extremozyme may have potential applications especially in detergent industry.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to produce heterophasic graphene nanoplatelets based formulation designed for ink-jet printing and biomedical applications. The compositions should meet two conditions: should be cytocompatible and have the rheological properties that allow to apply it with ink-jet printing technique. In view of the above conditions, the selection of suspensions components, such as binder, solvent and surfactants was performed. In the first stage of the research the homogeneity of the dispersion of nanoplatelets and their sedimentation behaviour in diverse solutions were tested. Subsequently, the cytotoxicity of each ink on human mesenchymal stem cells was examined using the Alamar Blue Test. At the same time the rheology of the resulting suspensions was tested. As a result of these tests the best ink composition was elaborated: water, polyethylene glycol, graphene nanoplatelets and the surfactant from DuPont company.
Equilibrium and kinetic studies of sorption of 2.4-dichlorophenol onto 2 mixtures: bamboo biochar plus calcium sulphate (BC) and hydroxyapatite plus bamboo biochar plus calcium sulphate (HBC), in a fluidized bed circulation column
Authors: Alamin Ahmed Hassan , Kaewsichan Lupong 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Sorption studies were carried out to investigate removal of 2.4-dichlorophenol (2.4-DCP) from aqueous solution in a fluidized bed by two types of adsorbent mixtures: BC (Bamboo char plus Calcium sulphate), and HBC (Hydroxyapatite plus Bamboo char plus Calcium sulphate); both manufactured in ball shape. The main material bamboo char was characterized by FTIR, DTA and SEM. The adsorption experiments were conducted in a fluidized bed circulation column. Adsorption, isotherms and kinetic studies were established under 180 min operating process time, at different initial 2.4-DCP solution concentrations ranging from 5–10 mg/L, and at different flow rates ranging from 0.25–0.75 L/min. The data obtained fitted well for both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models; indicating favorable condition of monolayer adsorption. The kinetics of both adsorbents complies with the pseudo second-order kinetic model. BC was proven a new effective composite and low cost adsorbent which can be applied in the field of wastewater treatment, and it can also play an important role in industry water treatment.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
In this study novel transversal pneumatic artificial muscles (TPAM), made from composite – poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) matrix membrane and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) satin reinforcement, are presented. Miniature TPAM consists of a flexible internal braid (IB) reinforcing the membrane and the external braid (EB). EB, with fibers arranged transversely to the IB, is placed laterally. Differently prepared TPAMs were tested for their effectiveness as actuators for robot drive and the PDMS/PET composite suitability was evaluated for applications in human gastrointestinal tract (chemical resistance, thermal characteristic). FT-IR spectra of the composite were compared for study PDMS impregnation process of PET satin and effect of immersion in selected solution. The composite shows outstanding biocompatibility and the muscles have competitive static load characteristics in comparison with other pneumatic artificial muscles (PAM). These results lead to believe, that in the near future painless examination of the gastrointestinal tract using a secure robot will be possible.
Against the Argument-Adjunct Distinction in Functional Generative Description
Authors: Przepiórkowski Adam 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to critically examine the tests used to distinguish arguments from adjuncts in Functional Generative Description (Sgall et al., 1986) and to question the general usefulness of this distinction. In particular, we demonstrate that neither of the two tests used in FGD to distinguish inner participants from free adverbials (i.e. tests based on iterability and specificity) stands up to scrutiny, and we also point out practical problems with the application of the dialogue test, used to distinguish semantically obligatory and semantically optional dependents. Since these tests are among the most frequently cited tests for the Argument-Adjunct Distinction in contemporary linguistics, these results cast a shadow on the general validity of this dichotomy.
RealText-lex: A Lexicalization Framework for RDF Triples
Authors: Perera Rivindu , Nand Parma , Klette Gisela 
Published: October 2016

Abstract The online era has made available almost cosmic amounts of information in the public and semi-restricted domains, prompting development of corresponding host of technologies to organize and navigate this information. One of these developing technologies deals with encoding information from free form natural language into a structured form as RDF triples. This representation enables machine processing of the data, however the processed information can not be directly converted back to human language. This has created a need to be able to lexicalize machine processed data existing as triples into a natural language, so that there is seamless transition between machine representation of information and information meant for human consumption. This paper presents a framework to lexicalize RDF triples extracted from DBpedia, a central interlinking hub for the emerging Web of Data. The framework comprises of four pattern mining modules which generate lexicalization patterns to transform triples to natural language sentences. Among these modules, three are based on lexicons and the other works on extracting relations by exploiting unstructured text to generate lexicalization patterns. A linguistic accuracy evaluation and a human evaluation on a sub-sample showed that the framework can produce patterns which are accurate and emanate human generated qualities.
Linguistically Annotated Corpus as an Invaluable Resource for Advancements in Linguistic Research: A Case Study
Authors: Hajič Jan , Hajičová Eva , Mírovský Jiří , Panevová Jarmila 
Published: October 2016

Abstract A case study based on experience in linguistic investigations using annotated monolingual and multilingual text corpora; the “cases” include a description of language phenomena belonging to different layers of the language system: morphology, surface and underlying syntax, and discourse. The analysis is based on a complex annotation of syntax, semantic functions, information structure and discourse relations of the Prague Dependency Treebank, a collection of annotated Czech texts. We want to demonstrate that annotation of corpus is not a self-contained goal: in order to be consistent, it should be based on some linguistic theory, and, at the same time, it should serve as a test bed for the given linguistic theory in particular and for linguistic research in general.
Lexicographic Tools to Build New Encyclopaedia of the Czech Language
Authors: Horák Aleš , Rambousek Adam 
Published: October 2016

Abstract The first edition of the Encyclopaedia of the Czech Language was published in 2002 and since that time it has established as one of the basic reference books for the study of the Czech language and related linguistic disciplines. However, many new concepts and even new research areas have emerged since that publication. That is why a preparation of a complete new edition of the encyclopaedia started in 2011, rather than just re-printing the previous version with supplements. The new edition covers current research status in all concepts connected with the linguistic studies of (prevalently, but not solely) the Czech language. The project proceeded for five years and it has finished at the end of 2015, the printed edition is currently in preparation. An important innovation of the new encyclopaedia lies in the decision that the new edition will be published both as a printed book and as an electronic on-line encyclopaedia, utilizing the many advantages of electronic dictionaries.In this paper, we describe the lexicographic platform used for the Encyclopaedia preparation and the process behind the work flow consisting of more than 3,000 pages written by nearly 200 authors from all over the world. The paper covers the process of managing entry submissions, the development of tools to convert word processor files to an XML database, tools to cross-check and connect bibliography references from free text to structured bibliography entries, and the preparation of data for the printed publication.
Šventosios raidės barbariškose tautose
Authors: Ališauskas Vytautas 
Published: October 2016

Renesanso ir baroko laikais buvo įprasta trijų šventųjų kalbų (hebrajų, graikų ir lotynų) samprata. Drauge buvo sakralizuoti ir jų rašmenys. Straipsnyje aptariami šventųjų raidynų ir kalbų (pirmiausia – graikų ir lotynų) statuso ir likimo LDK bruožai. Vietinės kalbos, vartodamos šiuos raidynus (lietuvių ir lenkų – lotyniškąjį; rusėnų – sukurtą graikiškojo pagrindu), aktualizuodavo ir juos lydinčias vertybių sistemas. Sakraliosios kalbos LDK gyvenime pynėsi su kasdienėmis, kasdienės ėmė savo orumą iš tikro ar tariamo ryšio su sakraliosiomis, galiausiai ir vienas, ir kitas perteikiantys raidynai keitėsi vietomis; natūrali dinamika galiausiai baigėsi lotyniškojo alfabeto, kaip visą valstybę apimančio komunikacijos įrankio ir europinio tapatumo ženklo, įsigalėjimu.

Published: October 2016

Straipsnyje dvilypė meno kūrinio prigimtis aiškinama formulės ir formos santykiais. Pasitelkiama H. Focillono dvasios formų samprata, grindžianti meno ir kūrėjo ryšį. Remiamasi lietuvių meno ir humanistikos pavyzdžiais. Daugiausia dėmesio skiriama praėjusio amžiaus aštuntojo dešimtmečio pradžiai, kai straipsnyje keliama problema buvo gyviau jaučiama. Profesorius lituanistas Donatas Sauka ir garsus matematikas akademikas Vytautas Statulevičius vienu metu ir viename leidinyje yra buvę artimos minties bendrakeleiviai, siekę formulės ir gyvos formos dermės. Dar jauna poetė Onė Baliukonytė intuityviojo ir intelektualiojo prado santykį kėlė kaip problemą. Ryškėjo mintis, aktuali ir šiandien, kad vidinės formos intensyvumas saugo kūrinį nuo formulių, nuo jų mechaninio perėmimo.Arvydas Šliogeris, į humanistiką įžengęs iš technologijų, iš formulių lauko, žymi radikalią formulės ir formos perskyrą.

Published: October 2016

The studies were conducted in growing quail meat production at the age of 1–35 days in the research laboratory of feed additives National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. The research goal was to establish effective levels of additional introduction of Selenium in fodder for growing quail by comparing them to some zoo–technical indicators. Five groups of 100 quails were formed. The quails of the Control Group were fed a standard diet without the inclusion of additional Selenium. The quails of the trial groups received a standard diet supplemented with selenium: group 2 – 0.1 mg, group 3 – 0.2 mg, group 4 – 0.3 mg and group 5 – 0.4 mg / kg feed. For a determine the effect of selenium on the productive qualities of quails was conducted taking into account their of preservation, feed intake, body weight is determined and calculated feed cost per 1 g of live weight gain. During the study established that the level of preservation quails high enough in the experimental groups, the best body weight was observed in animals consuming an additional 0.4 mg of Se, and the lowest feed consumption per 1 kg of growth – from poultry which were fed 0.2 mg Se. Thus, investigated of trace elements in the indicated doses increases the productivity of quails and decrease feed costs per 1 kg of live weight gain
