Published: January 2016

Abstract
Many factors play an important role in prediction of infertility treatment outcome (for example, female age and quality of oocytes or embryos are the most important prognostic factors concerning positive IVF outcome). The purpose of this study was to identify a set of variables that could fulfill criteria for prediction of pregnancy in IVF patients through the application of data mining – using the discriminant analysis method. The principle of this method is to establish a set of rules that allows one to place multi-dimensional objects into one of two analyzed groups (pregnant or not pregnant). Six hundred and ten IVF cycles were included in the analysis and the following variables were taken into consideration: female age, number and quality of retrieved oocytes, number and quality of embryos, number of transferred embryos, and outcome of treatment. Discriminant analysis allowed for the creation of a model with a 51.22% correctness of prediction to achieve pregnancy during IVF treatment and with 74.07% correctly predicted failure of pregnancy. Therefore, the created model is more suitable for the prediction of a negative outcome (lack of pregnancy) during IVF treatment and offers an option for adjustments to be made during infertility treatment.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was a comparative analysis of the burden of lung cancer in urban and rural areas in the Świętokrzyskie Province in the years 1999–2010. The material for the study accounted for information about the number of new cases of lung cancer obtained from the Świętokrzyskie Cancer Registration Office in Kielce and data from the Central Statistical Office concerning the number of deaths due to lung cancer in the years 1999–2010. Crude and age-standardized incidence, mortality, and potential years of life lost rates were calculated separately for groups of men and women in urban and rural areas. A comparative analysis of coefficients in urban and rural areas based on Rate Ratio (RR) and Rate Difference (RD) was performed by using the Health Disparities Calculator. The average annual incidence of lung cancer among men was 18% lower in the urban population than in the rural, while the mortality rate was 16% lower. For women, the incidence and mortality rates were higher in urban areas as opposed to rural areas – by 48% and 54% respectively. The comparative analysis of the burden of lung cancer showed great diversity between urban and rural populations in the Świętokrzyskie Province.

Abstract
This article discusses the test of removable ceramic cutting inserts during machining irregular interrupted cut. Tests were performed on a lathe, with the preparation which simulated us the interrupted cut. By changing the number of plates mounted in a preparation it simulate us a regular or irregular interrupted cut. When with four plates it was regular interrupted cut, the remaining three variants were already irregular cut. It was examined whether it will have the irregular interrupted cutting effect on the insert and possibly how it will change life of inserts during irregular interrupted cut (variable delay between shocks).

Authors: Iancu Lavinia , Purcarea Cristina 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
The present study represents the first report on the presence of Meroplius fukuharai (Diptera: Sepsidae) in Romania. The research area was located in Bucharest. Meroplius fukuharai was recorded during an experiment for investigating necrophagous insect species dynamics. Adult specimens were sampled during the summer (August 2013) from swine carcasses at the beginning of the advanced decay stage. The species had a sporadic occurrence, only four male specimens being sampled and identified both morphologically and genetically during the four-month survey. The recorded environmental parameters during the sampling period showed an air temperature of 28-33°C and a relative humidity of 53-57%. This report on the presence of M. fukuharai in Romania leads to the expansion of its known distribution range in the South Eastern part of Europe.

Optimization Of Curved Plated Structures With The Finite Strip And Finite Element Methods
Authors: Balogh Bence , Lógó János 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare two available numerical tools for solving of partial differential equations for the optimal design of structures. In the past years numerous methods were developed for topology optimization, from these we have adopted the optimality criteria (OC) approach. The main idea is that we state the optimal conditions, that the minimizer has to fulfil at the end of an iterative proves. This method however is not a general one, only advantageous in the case of separable problems, but comes with fast speed, easy programming, and a relative insensitivity of computational time to the number of variables. In the paper we suggest a new method for the elimination of a numerical error, the so called ‘checkerboard pattern’. In the presented examples we applied one loading case and an elastic material behaviour. The cost function is the net weight of the structure and upper bound of the compliance is set as the optimality constraint.

Effects Of Specimen Size And Crack Depth Ratio On Calibration Curves For Modified Compact Tension Specimens
Authors: Seitl Stanislav , Viszlay Viliam , Cifuentes Hector , Canteli Alfonso 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThe compact tension (CT) test is frequently used to determine fracture properties of metallic materials, such as fracture energy, fracture toughness, crack propagation rate and J-R curves. In the case of cement based composites, a modified compact tension (MCT) specimen can be advantageously used due to the negligible stress concentration arising around the pulling dowel pins during the test. In this work, finite element calculations are used to determine the calibrations curves for the stress intensity factorK, COD, CMOD and CMOD(4), needed for an accurate determination of the fracture parameters, as a function of the ratioa/W. Nominal diameters are selected according to the used core bits between 50 mm and 300 mm.
Im Visier: Die NS-Vergangenheit westdeutscher Intellektueller
Authors: Schildt Axel 
Published: January 2016

Vorspann
„Vergangenheitsbewältigung“ war in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren eine Sache aufgeklärter Geister. Wirklich? Axel Schildt, renommierter Historiker aus Hamburg, entdeckte eine Variante der besonderen Art, die nach 1945 der NS-affine Schriftsteller und Publizist Kurt Ziesel erfand. Ziesel, später Geschäftsführer der „Deutschland- Stiftung“, griff bevorzugt liberale, aber auch konservative Intellektuelle mit belasteter Vergangenheit an, die nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg einflussreiche Positionen in Presse und Rundfunk erlangten, ohne ihre Verstrickungen im „Dritten Reich“ thematisiert zu haben. Ziesels ebenso infame wie gut dokumentierte Angriffe fanden viel Beifall bei Vertriebenenverbänden und Teilen der CSU, während die Betroffenen und ihre Netzwerke ratlos waren und keine angemessene Antwort fanden, wie Axel Schildt eindrucksvoll zeigen kann.
Wie autonom regierte Vichy?
Authors: Mayer Michael 
Published: January 2016

Vorspann
Am 3. Oktober 1940 erließ die semiautonome Regierung des sogenannten État Français, des teilweise besetzten Frankreichs unter der Führung von Philippe Pétain und Pierre Laval, ein antisemitisches „Judenstatut“. Entsprang dies der ureigenen Initiative Vichys oder war es das Resultat eines Wechselspiels mit entsprechenden Planungen der deutschen Besatzungsmacht, die nur wenig später umgesetzt wurden? Michael Mayer verteidigt seine Auffassung, dass ersteres zutrifft, gegen die kritischen Einwände von Tal Bruttmann, Laurent Joly und Barbara Lambauer.

Inexpensive Computation of the Inverse of the Genomic Relationship Matrix in Populations with Small Effective Population Size
Authors: Misztal Ignacy 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Many computations with SNP data including genomic evaluation, parameter estimation, and genome-wide association studies use an inverse of the genomic relationship matrix. The cost of a regular inversion is cubic and is prohibitively expensive for large matrices. Recent studies in cattle demonstrated that the inverse can be computed in almost linear time by recursion on any subset of ∼10,000 individuals. The purpose of this study is to present a theory of why such a recursion works and its implication for other populations. Assume that, because of a small effective population size, the additive information in a genotyped population has a small dimensionality, even with a very large number of SNP markers. That dimensionality is visible as a limited number of effective SNP effects, independent chromosome segments, or the rank of the genomic relationship matrix. Decompose a population arbitrarily into core and noncore individuals, with the number of core individuals equal to that dimensionality. Then, breeding values of noncore individuals can be derived by recursions on breeding values of core individuals, with coefficients of the recursion computed from the genomic relationship matrix. A resulting algorithm for the inversion called “algorithm for proven and young” (APY) has a linear computing and memory cost for noncore animals. Noninfinitesimal genetic architecture can be accommodated through a trait-specific genomic relationship matrix, possibly derived from Bayesian regressions. For populations with small effective population size, the inverse of the genomic relationship matrix can be computed inexpensively for a very large number of genotyped individuals.
Teologia, filosofia e ciência
Authors: Almeida Rogério Miranda de 
Published: January 2016

O objetivo principal deste ensaio é mostrar as vicissitudes e ambiguidades que marcaram as relações entre fé e razão, fé e ciência, ao longo da tradição cristã. Com efeito, três foram as tendências principais que caracterizaram essa relação: uma tendência que vê uma identificação ou equivalência entre essas duas esferas do saber; uma outra que, pelo contrário, as considera irremediavelmente antagônicas entre si, e, finalmente, uma tendência mediana, que reivindica umacomplementariedade ou uma ajuda mútua entre fé e razão. Um fator particular que virá acirrar e intensificar essas relações ocorrerá a partir do século 12, quando a teologia adquirirá o estatuto de ciência e, sobretudo, ao longo do século 13, com a fundação das universidades e a entrada em cena de Aristóteles na escolástica latina.
Novelties and consistence in the new minor offense law of Hungary
Authors: Czédli Gergő 
Published: January 2016

This article attempts to present an overview of Hungary’s 3rd generation legislation in minor offenses. Historical references are invoked only if ultimately necessary either for better understanding, or to appreciate the contrast between current provisions and former rules, but usually the paper does not look back any further than the previous act.
After a short introduction aimed at comprehending the subject itself, the article presents the concept published by the government, to see what goals it had and to realize how much it has subsequently achieved. The concept and a very short history are followed by a general overview of the new Act as a whole. Chapters 4, 5 and 6 focus on the most fundamental changes, novelties, arguable or simply strange provisions, taking into consideration the substantive, procedural and executional regulations. As disputes arise, I also try to show what, sometimes controversial, solutions legal practice can offer, and to indicate where and how the legislature should consider amending the Act. A deeper theoretical and constitutional background has been omitted, as the paper strongly focuses on a practical approach.
The admitted purpose of the new Act was to speed up the procedure, accompanied by the hidden, although obvious aim of strengthening deterrence. None of these are fulfilled completely, yet considerable steps have been taken. The reason of partial failure is often within the Act itself, this position will be argued in this paper.

Published: January 2016

Here we report the first record of genus Cryptonanus in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. One specimen (MZUSP35409) was captured in an Atlantic Forest fragment and was identified by morphological characters and molecular analysis using cytochrome‑b (MT-CYB) and von Willebrand Factor (VWF). Phylogenetic reconstructions based on VWF sequences positioned our specimen into the genus Cryptonanus, and the shortest genetic distance of MT-CYB was estimated between our specimen and an undescribed specimen from Piauí. Our record increases the genus’ geographic range approximately 350 km from Cotia and Ibiúna municipalities, São Paulo. The genus Cryptonanus remains taxonomically poorly understood.

Objective To clarify the relationship between mandibular ramus height and function of masticatory muscles in patients with hemifacial microsomia. Design Retrospective study of imaging and physiological data. Setting Images and physiological data were obtained from the records of Sapporo Medical University Hospital. Patients A total of 29 patients with hemifacial microsomia who showed Pruzansky grades I, II deformity. Main Outcome Measures Mandibular ramus height and masticatory muscle volume were evaluated with multi-detector row computed tomography. The electromyographic value was measured by the K7 Evaluation System. The hemifacial microsomia patients were classified into three groups based on the mandibular ramus height ratio of the affected and unaffected sides: group 0, > 1.00; group 1, 1.00 to 0.85; group 2, < 0.85. The Tukey-Kramer method and Games-Howell method were used to determine correlations between parameters. Results Decreased mandibular ramus height was significantly correlated with both reduced electromyographic values of the masseter muscle (P < .05) and the amount of mandibular lateral deviation at the time of maximum opening (P < .05) on the affected side. These differences were prominent in unilateral hemifacial microsomia patients classified as group 2. Conclusions Decreased mandibular ramus height may cause dysfunction of the masseter muscles but not the temporal muscle on the affected side in patients with hemifacial microsomia.
