Technical Regulation of Industrial Facilities’ Safety
Authors: Грановский  , Granovskiy E. 
Published: May 2016

A comparison of approaches to industrial facilities’ safety management based on standard regulation and industrial risks
management is carried out in this work. Development of technical solutions in the normative documents based on ideas
of dangers inherent in object, as a matter of experience for accidents without regard to probability of these accidents
realization leads to the fact that such decisions are either superfluous and don´t influence the object danger, or increase
its danger. The analysis of modern approaches to statutory regulation of industrial safety and shortcomings of the existing
Russian practice in this area has been presented. It has been shown that the international and national risk management
standards allow pass to more effective control of safety level as to inadmissible risk absence, but not that by what decisions
this level is reached.
Motivating Process Compliance Through Individual Electronic Monitoring: An Empirical Examination of Hand Hygiene in Healthcare
Authors: Staats Bradley R. , Dai Hengchen , Hofmann David , Milkman Katherine L. 
Published: May 2016

The design and use of standard processes are foundational recommendations in many operations practices. Yet, given the demonstrated performance benefits of standardized processes, it is surprising that they are often not followed consistently. One way to ensure greater compliance is by electronically monitoring the activities of individuals, although such aggressive monitoring poses the risk of inducing backlash. In the setting of hand hygiene in healthcare, a context where compliance with standard processes is frequently less than 50% and where this lack of compliance can result in negative consequences, we investigated the effectiveness of electronic monitoring. We did so using a unique, radio frequency identification (RFID)-based system deployed in 71 hospital units. We found that electronically monitoring individual compliance resulted in a large, positive increase in compliance. We also found that there was substantial variability in the effect across units and that units with higher levels of preactivation compliance experienced increased benefits from monitoring relative to units with lower levels of prepreactivation compliance. By observing compliance rates over three and a half years, we investigated the persistent effects of individual monitoring and found that compliance rates initially increased before they gradually declined. Additionally, in multiple units, individual monitoring was discontinued, allowing for an investigation of the impact of removing the intervention on compliance. Surprisingly, we found that, after removal, compliance rates declined to below prepreactivation levels. Our findings suggest that, although individual electronic monitoring can dramatically improve process compliance, it requires sustained managerial commitment.

Authors: Iwin-Garzyńska Jolanta 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
One of the main objectives to be accomplished by the European Union law is to eliminate barriers to the functioning of domestic market and in particular improve the competitiveness of enterprises. After several years of efforts, the European Commission approved a proposal for the directive on a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base which is to remove obstacles to the functioning of internal market and increase tax harmonization. The article is aimed at presenting the essence of CCCTB in the theory of corporate finance and its importance for enterprises, based on the survey of Polish and EU companies. The paper addresses issues relating to tax in corporate finance. Canons of taxation will be discussed and special emphasis will be placed on principles behind formulating fiscal law provisions (including the EU law). Furthermore, the article presents the results of surveys into the importance of taxation cannons for Polish and EU companies.
Changes and Differences in Poles’ Hierarchy of Values – on Basis of the European Social Survey
Authors: Błoński Krzysztof 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the changes that have place with regard to Poles’ value system over the last 12 years, as well as to demonstrate differences based on sex, level of education and household income level. The analysis was based on the results of the European Social Survey (ESS). The research results indicate that the hierarchy of values cherished by Poles does not undergo significant changes. The most important values are security, universalism and benevolence. The least significant values include hedonism, stimulation and power. There are no identifiable differences in the hierarchies of values of women and men. However, there are noticeable differences depending on the level of education, household income level and age of surveyed respondents.
Land-Use Planning and Satellite Imagery Used for Green Areas Protection – Case Study of the City of Łódź, Poland
Authors: Feltynowski Marcin 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
The article presents the issues of spatial planning on the case study of Łódź. Of significance in Łódź are its outer peripheries, which due to their natural value have become areas that must be protected and monitored in order to limit the anthropogenic impact. Protection of these areas may be carried out through the usage of instruments such as local land-use plans which help to limit the green field development phenomenon and to look after the biologically active surfaces within the borders of the city. The second step which may concern the areas with local land-use plans, as well as those without current local land-use plans, is monitoring. Such monitoring may be carried out through the analyses of satellite imagery of the city area. Such activities are a kind of low-budget enterprises which bring many benefits at a very small cost resulting from the purchase of satellite imagery. From the perspective of the authorities, a crucial fact is that the material collected during the analyses of the satellite imagery may be used in the initial phase of the planning process as an element of the inventory of areas designated for the development of land-use plans.
Wages in Labour Market Theories
Authors: Kryńska Elżbieta , Kopycińska Danuta 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Already classical economists took interest in the role of wages and wage formation mechanisms, as well as in their influence on other components of the labour market. This article aims to systematise contemporary approaches to wages as one of the labour market components that have been developed within major economic theories. The systemization will serve as a basis for identifying main interactions between wages and other labour market components, such as labour supply and demand and labour market disequilibrium. The article presents major concepts formulated within neo-classical and Keynesian theories, labour market segmentation theories, efficiency wage theory, rent-sharing and rent-extraction theories, theory of job search, and search-and-matching models. One of the conclusions arising from the discussion is that the evolution of contemporary labour markets is a challenge for researchers seeking wage formation models adequately describing the real-life circumstances.
The twofold way of super holonomy
Authors: Groeger Josua 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThere are two different notions of holonomy in supergeometry, the supergroup introduced by Galaev and our functorial approach motivated by super Wilson loops. Either theory comes with its own version of invariance of vectors and subspaces under holonomy. By our first main result, the Twofold Theorem, these definitions are equivalent. Our proof is based on the Comparison Theorem, our second main result, which characterises Galaev’s holonomy algebra as an algebra of coefficients, building on previous results. As an application, we generalise some of Galaev’s results toS-points, utilising the holonomy functor. We obtain, in particular, a de Rham–Wu decomposition theorem for semi-RiemannianS-supermanifolds.

Das Gerücht vom Tod des Herrschers im frühen und hohen Mittelalter
Authors: Hartmann Florian 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
Im frühen und hohen Mittelalter berichten die Quellen in auffälliger Häufigkeit von dem Gerücht, ein Herrscher sei verstorben. Auf diese unverbürgte Nachricht hin seien demnach Revolten ausgebrochen, die erst durch das Erscheinen des vermeintlich Toten alsbald in sich zusammengebrochen seien. Im vergleichenden Blick auf dieses wiederkehrende Motiv analysiert der Verfasser diese Gerüchte in ihrer narratologischen Funktion. So sind es meist dem vermeintlich verstorbenen Herrscher nahestehende Autoren, die diese Gerüchte in ihrer Erzählung als Ursache dafür anführen, dass überhaupt Revolten gegen den Herrscher ausbrechen konnten. Regelmäßig werden deswegen übelmeinende Konkurrenten des Herrschers zu böswilligen Erfindern des Gerüchts stilisiert. Ohne deren Intrigen wäre, so der Tenor, ein Aufstand gegen den Herrscher undenkbar gewesen. Die Einzelfallprüfung sowie generelle Überlegungen zur Kommunikation im frühen und hohen Mittelalter machen dagegen wahrscheinlich, dass die Gerüchte vom Tod eines Herrschers oft nachträgliche Erfindungen der Autoren sind, um in ihrer Erzählung eine Erklärung für den unerklärbaren Aufstand gegen einen Herrscher anzubieten.

Published: May 2016

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the impact of exchange of immunization information between an immunization information system (IIS) and an electronic health record on up-to-date rates, overimmunization, and immunization record completeness for low-income, urban children and adolescents.

METHODS:
The New York City Department of Health maintains a population-based IIS, the Citywide Immunization Registry (CIR). Five community clinics in New York City implemented direct linkage of immunization data from the CIR to their local electronic health record. We compared immunization status and overimmunization in children and adolescents 19 to 35 month, 7 to 10 year, and 13 to 17 year-olds with provider visits in the 6-month period before data exchange implementation (2009; n = 6452) versus 6-months post-implementation (2010; n = 6124). We also assessed immunization record completeness with and without addition of CIR data for 8548 children and adolescents with visits in 2012–2013.

RESULTS:
Up-to-date status increased from before to after implementation from 75.0% to 81.6% (absolute difference, 6.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.2% to 8.1%) and was significant for all age groups. The percentage overimmunized decreased from 8.8% to 4.7% (absolute difference, −4.1%; 95% CI, −7.8% to −0.3%) and was significant for adolescents (16.4% vs 1.2%; absolute difference, −15.2%; 95% CI, −26.7 to −3.6). Up-to-date status for those seen in 2012 to 2013 was higher when IIS data were added (74.6% vs 59.5%).

CONCLUSIONS:
This study demonstrates that data exchange can improve child and adolescent immunization status. Development of the technology to support such exchange and continued focus on local, state, and federal policies to support such exchanges are needed.

Authors: Ferreira da Costa Fernando Jorge , Alves Morais de Oliveira Lídia Cristina 
Published: May 2016

Este estudo analisa o grau do cumprimento das divulgações da International Accounting Standard 16 "Ativos Fixos Tangíveis" no Anexo às demonstrações financeiras consolidadas das empresas cotadas na Euronext Lisboa, no período de 2005-2010, bem como sua evolução e determinação dos potenciais fatores corporativos explicativos desse grau de cumprimento.Utilizando um índice de cumprimento, constatou-se um grau de cumprimento médio intermédio dos requisitos de divulgação da IAS 16 (67,3%). A experiência na aplicação das normas apresentou um impacto positivo, apesar de ligeiro.Atendendo à revisão da literatura e aos argumentos da teoria da agência, teoria dos custos políticos, teoria da sinalização e teoria da necessidade de capital foram desenvolvidas seis hipóteses explicativas do grau de cumprimento mencionado. Os resultados evidenciam que o tamanho da empresa e o montante de ativos fixos tangíveis são fatores corporativos explicativos do grau de cumprimento dos requisitos da divulgação previstos na IAS 16.
La cadena de valor del destino como herramienta innovadora para el análisis de la sostenibilidad de las políticas turísticas. El caso de España
Authors: Pulido Juan Ignacio , López Sánchez Yaiza 
Published: May 2016

El concepto cadena de valor del destino permite construir un marco de análisis innovador de la actividad turística desde una perspectiva holística e integradora, e identificar las políticas a formular para incorporar la sostenibilidad como una variable estratégica de gestión turística y de posicionamiento de los destinos en los mercados. Para demostrar la validez de esta herramienta, se ha considerado el caso de España, uno de los principales destinos turísticos del mundo, con espacios turísticos muy consolidados y con un modelo que la literatura científica coincide en calificar como obsoleto y agotado, que requiere de una reinvención. Para ello, se ha realizado un análisis Delphi con expertos nacionales del más alto nivel, que ha permitido identificar los factores que impulsan o condicionan la generación de valor desde la óptica de la sostenibilidad, lo que permitirá, en una segunda etapa, diseñar una agenda estratégica de políticas orientadas a potenciar la capacidad del país para generar valor a lo largo de la cadena.
A Comprehensive Reservoir Simulator for Unconventional Reservoirs That Is Based on the Fast Marching Method and Diffusive Time of Flight
Authors: Fujita Yusuke , Datta-Gupta Akhil , King Michael J. 
Published: May 2016

SummaryModeling of fluid flow in unconventional reservoirs requires accurate characterization of complex flow mechanisms because of the interactions between reservoir rock, microfractures, and hydraulic fractures. The pore-size distribution in shale and tight sand reservoirs typically ranges from nanometers to micrometers, resulting in ultralow permeabilities. In such extremely low-permeability reservoirs, desorption and diffusive processes play important roles in addition to heterogeneity-driven convective flows.For modeling shale and tight oil and gas reservoirs, we can compute the well-drainage volume efficiently with a fast marching method (FMM) and by introducing the concept of “diffusive time of flight” (DTOF). Our proposed simulation approach consists of two decoupled steps—drainage-volume calculation and numerical simulation with DTOF as a spatial coordinate. We first calculate the reservoir drainage volume and the DTOF with the FMM, and then the numerical simulation is conducted along the 1D DTOF coordinate. The approach is analogous to streamline modeling whereby a multidimensional simulation is decoupled to a series of 1D simulations resulting in substantial savings in computation time for high-resolution simulation. However, instead of a “convective time of flight” (CTOF), a DTOF is introduced to model the pressure-front propagation.For modeling physical processes, we propose triple continua whereby the reservoir is divided into three different domains: microscale pores (hydraulic fractures and microfractures), nanoscale pores (nanoporous networks), and organic matter. The hydraulic fractures/microfractures primarily contribute to the well production, and are affected by rock compaction. The nanoporous networks contain adsorbed gas molecules, and gas flows into fractures by convection and Knudsen diffusion processes. The organic matter acts as the source of gas. Our simulation approach enables high-resolution flow characterization of unconventional reservoirs because of its efficiency and versatility. We demonstrate the power and utility of our approach with synthetic and field examples.
Isolation and Characterization of a Thermostable Cellulase from Bacillus licheniformis Strain Vic Isolated from Geothermal Wells in the Kenyan Rift Valley

Published: May 2016

Cellulolytic microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria are responsible for much of the cellulose degradation in soils. Despite the vast number of cellulase producers, there is a deficiency of microorganisms that can produce significant amount of the three components of a cellulase system. i.e. CMCases, exoglucanases and β-glucosidases to efficiently degrade cellulose to fermentable products.
Soil samples were collected from two sites of the Kenyan Rift valley; Hell’s gate National Park and a geothermal well in Eburru hill at depths of 155 m, 156 m and 157 m. Isolation of cellulolytic bacteria was carried out using minimal media supplemented with 1% CMC. Isolates obtained were characterized using both morphological and molecular methods. A quantitative cellulolytic test was carried out to select the isolate with the highest specific activity. Additionally the cell-free supernatant was used for functional studies to determine the isolate’s cellulase system components, optimum temperature, pH and time stability.
Phylogenetic analyses indicated that all isolates associated mainly with members of the Bacillus licheniformis. All isolates were capable of utilizing CMC, avicel and Cellobiose as their sole carbon sources.
Isolate 3 from a depth of 156 m in the well was identified as Bacillus licheniformis strain vic and selected for further functional studies. This isolate was found to bear the three enzyme components of a cellulase system. A cell free extract was noted to hydrolysecellobiose, Avicel and CMC with enzyme specific activities of 0.46878 U/mg, 0.18784 U/mg and 0.13571 U/mg respectively. Optimum temperature for activity measured over 60 minutes was found to be 60oC with relatively high activity at both 70oC and 80oC. The optimum pH at the predetermined optimum temperature was found to be pH 5. The crude enzyme extract was stable for eight hours of incubation at 60oC and pH 5 retaining 92.2% of its activity. This makes B.licheniformis strain vic a quite attractive isolate for potential application in industries.
Antioxidant Capacity and Free Radical Scavenging Effects on Nigerian Pineapple (Ananas cormosus) and Orange (Citrus sinensis) Pulp Extracts at Different Levels of Ripeness
Authors: Ortutu Stella Chintua , Aremu Matthew Olaleke 
Published: May 2016

Background:
There is a need to shift interest from the use of synthetic antioxidants which are harmful to the use of natural antioxidants from fruits and vegetables for the prevention of lipid oxidation.

Objective:
The total polyphenols, flavonoids, lipid-soluble antioxidants (CALT) and radical scavenging ability of the pulp extracts of pineapple (Ananas cormosus) and orange (Citrus sinensis) were investigated at different maturation stages for the purpose of determining their antioxidant capacity and the possibility of using these fruits at every maturation stage for the prevention of lipid oxidation.

Methods:
The pulps of these fruits were extracted at different levels of ripeness; unripe (UR), about to ripe (AR) and ripe (RP). The extracted pulps were freeze-dried and used for the analysis. The total phenol content was determined by spectrophotometry (Folic Ciocalteu’s method) while 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was used for the radical scavenging ability. The various antioxidant capacities were compared with standard antioxidants such as gallic acid, rutin, α-tocophenol and ascorbic acid.

Results:
The results showed that the two edible fruits investigated at different levels of ripeness possess high quality antioxidants (those that can scavenge free radicals, function as metal chelators or donate hydrogen atoms). Radical scavenging ability of the fruit pulps was significantly affected (P < 0.05) by the different level of ripeness.

Conclusion:
The unripe fruits had the highest antioxidant properties suggesting that the antioxidant capacity of the fruits decreased as the fruits ripened.
New Tools for New Research in Psychiatry: A Scalable and Customizable Platform to Empower Data Driven Smartphone Research
Authors: Torous John , Kiang Mathew V , Lorme Jeanette , Onnela Jukka-Pekka 
Published: May 2016

Background
A longstanding barrier to progress in psychiatry, both in clinical settings and research trials, has been the persistent difficulty of accurately and reliably quantifying disease phenotypes. Mobile phone technology combined with data science has the potential to offer medicine a wealth of additional information on disease phenotypes, but the large majority of existing smartphone apps are not intended for use as biomedical research platforms and, as such, do not generate research-quality data.

Objective
Our aim is not the creation of yet another app per se but rather the establishment of a platform to collect research-quality smartphone raw sensor and usage pattern data. Our ultimate goal is to develop statistical, mathematical, and computational methodology to enable us and others to extract biomedical and clinical insights from smartphone data.

Methods
We report on the development and early testing of Beiwe, a research platform featuring a study portal, smartphone app, database, and data modeling and analysis tools designed and developed specifically for transparent, customizable, and reproducible biomedical research use, in particular for the study of psychiatric and neurological disorders. We also outline a proposed study using the platform for patients with schizophrenia.

Results
We demonstrate the passive data capabilities of the Beiwe platform and early results of its analytical capabilities.

Conclusions
Smartphone sensors and phone usage patterns, when coupled with appropriate statistical learning tools, are able to capture various social and behavioral manifestations of illnesses, in naturalistic settings, as lived and experienced by patients. The ubiquity of smartphones makes this type of moment-by-moment quantification of disease phenotypes highly scalable and, when integrated within a transparent research platform, presents tremendous opportunities for research, discovery, and patient health.
