Published: December 2016

AbstractHigh aspect ratio metal nanostructures have been the subject of a number of studies in the past, due to their pronounced resonances in the infrared that can be exploited to enhance vibrational spectroscopies. In this work, we investigate the nonlinear optical response of both individual and closely-packed assemblies of vertical hollow Ag nanopillars upon excitation with ultrafast laser pulses. In particular, the analysis of their nonlinear emission spectra evidences an intense two photon photoluminescence (TPPL) emission and a neat signature of second harmonic generation (SHG). Given the relatively low background, this pronounced nonlinear emission could be employed as a local probe for analytes trapped at the surface of the nanopillar or flowing through it. For this reason, these nanostructures may become appealing building blocks in multi-purpose devices for nonlinear photonics and sensing.
Issues in the Recognition versus Disclosure of Financial Information Debate
Authors: Novak Aleš 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Empirical evidence from the academic literature on capital market effects of financial information placement (i.e., recognition on the face of the primary financial statements versus disclosure in the notes to the financial statements) is not straightforward. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to contribute to the recognition versus required disclosure debate in a standard-setting context by exploring possible reasons for perceived differences between recognized and disclosed amounts. These differences, in our view, arise due to demonstrated auditors’ greater tolerance for misstatement in disclosed amounts, allowed noncompliance with disclosure requirements even in strong enforcement regimes, lesser care that preparers of financial statements devote to disclosures relative to recognized items as well as behavioural factors and differential processing costs related to the users of financial information. We believe that these arguments strengthen the case for the general preference for the recognition of financial information in the standard-setting context. The original scientific contribution of this paper is to systematically identify the reasons for the differences between recognized and disclosed amounts in financial statements. As such, this paper may provide a suitable basis for the justification of certain conceptual changes in the field of international accounting standards that are currently underway.
Prospects for Nonprofits and Philanthropy in the Trump Presidency
Authors: Abramson Alan J. , Salamon Lester M. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractBased on the limited information currently available about Donald Trump’s plans for his presidency, his tenure looks like it will be a difficult time for the nonprofit sector and philanthropy in the U.S. Nonprofits and philanthropy can expect to face significant challenges from expected tax cuts, spending cuts, and regulatory changes. One of the few bright spots for nonprofits and philanthropy may be possible Trump administration support for new hybrid, double-bottom-line approaches to addressing social problems, and these only partly target the core of the nonprofit sector. Overall, the most profound impact of the Trump ascendance on the country’s nonprofit sector may be to stimulate a reinvigoration of the sector’s civic engagement and advocacy role.
Household Scales: What Cooking Pots Can Tell Us About Households in the Late Neolithic Stavroupoli (Northern Greece)

Published: December 2016

AbstractRemains of the houses in the Late Neolithic of Northern Greece are as a rule less well preserved
than in some other regions of Greece such as Thessaly. The site of Stavroupoli-Thessaloniki is a settlement
with a dense habitation pattern, but poorly preserved architecture. Several habitation phases have been
distinguished, dating to the Middle and Late Neolithic. Radiocarbon dates place the earlier phase to
5890 B.C. or slightly later. As the domestic unit in Stavroupoli can barely be approached through their
architecture, the ceramic wares and particularly the cooking vessels will be used as a proxy to identify
households and clarify aspects of their organization. The size of domestic units is approached through
capacity of cooking pots, assuming that sharing cooked food on everyday level is a vital element of these
units. Also, variability in cooking techniques between houses and possible changes through time will be
examined through both the shape and the size of cooking vessels. Finally, Stavroupoli’s cooking pots will
be compared with cooking vessels from other contemporaneous sites in order to approach the issue of
household on a regional level.
The Role of Sunken-Floored Buildings in LBK Farmstead
Authors: Połczyński Łukasz , Michalak Katarzyna 
Published: December 2016

AbstractResearch into the development of LBK villages rarely focuses on those features that can be
interpreted as sunken-floored buildings. The aim of this article is to draw attention to the presence of this
type of feature and to analyse its significance in the context of village development based on several examples
of LBK sites excavated in Małopolska (Lesser Poland). We believe that in many instances analysing the
locations of sunken-floored buildings and their diversity in terms of their potential functions can lead to the
identification of domestic/kitchen zones that centered around these features. Their location in the vicinity of
longhouses, traces of fire, and the presence of pottery sherds and grain remains may indicate that sunkenfloored
buildings served as an important additional ancillary space for the residents of longhouses and
constituted part of the farmstead.
Towards an optofluidic pump?
Authors: Emile Olivier , Emile Janine 
Published: December 2016

AbstractMost of the vibrating mechanisms of optofluidic systems are based on local heating of membranes that induces liquid flow.We report here a new type of diaphragm pump in a liquid film based on the optical radiation pressure force. We modulate a low power laser that generates, at resonance, a symmetric vibration of a free standing soap film. The film lifetime strongly varies from 56 s at low power (2 mW) to 2 s at higher power (70 mW). Since the laser beam only acts mechanically on the interfaces, such a pump could be easily implemented on delicate microequipment on chips or in biological systems.
The effect of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles on crystallization and thermomechanical properties of PLLA matrix
Authors: Athanasoulia Ioanna-Georgia I. , Christoforidis Maximos N. , Korres Dimitrios M. , Tarantili Petroula A. 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA) was incorporated in a poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) matrix and the thermal properties and crystallization behavior of the derived composites were investigated. The nanocomposites, containing 0–20 wt% HA, were prepared by melt extrusion employing a twin-screw extruder. XRD experiments verified an increase in the intensity of the characteristic diffraction peak of the α-form crystalline phase of PLLA with increasing HA content. By DSC experiments it was observed that the presence of HA increased the crystallinity during cold crystallization, leading to a shift of cold-crystallization temperature to lower values and to an increase in the melting temperature of the PLLA phase. Isothermal crystallization experiments at 100, 110, 115 and 120°C, revealed a maximum in crystallization kinetic around 100°C after the addition of HA compared to 115°C for pure PLLA. The crystallization rate of PLLA matrix in the nanocomposites decreased with increasing crystallization temperature. By using the Avrami and Lauritzen-Hoffman equations the exponent n was calculated in the range 2–3 and a theoretical approach verified that the HA/PLLA systems belong to Regime II of crystallization behavior. The investigated melting behavior of PLLA was attributed to better organized crystalline structure with increasing isothermal crystallization temperatures and might be related with the longer time necessary for the completion of crystallization.
On one class of high-order compact grid-characteristic schemes for linear advection
Authors: Khokhlov Nikolay I. , Petrov Igor B. 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
A class of two-point compact difference schemes of the second–third orders of accuracy on a twopoint coordinate stencil is considered for a one-dimensional transfer equation. All difference schemes are based on interpolation polynomials constructed on a given stencil. Based on the behaviour of the solution and the character of interpolation polynomials, we propose hybrid compact difference schemes of 2–3rd orders of accuracy on smooth functions producing solutions weakly smoothing the front of discontinuities. The study of grid convergence for the constructed difference scheme is carried out and the propagation of a pulse of complex form is simulated numerically for studying the behaviour of the difference scheme on discontinuous solutions.
Sciatica due to pelvic hematoma: case report

Published: December 2016

Abstract
Sciatica is defined as pain in the sciatic nerve distribution. The most common reason of sciatica is radiculopathy due to lumbar disc hernia. Other causes can be congenital, acquired, infectious, neoplastic, or inflammatory. The piriformis syndrome is another cause. The pain starts in an insidious manner when the cause of sciatica is an extraspinal tumor. It is intermittent at first but a constant and progressive pain that does not decrease with position or rest gradually develops in all patients. The possibility of an intraabdominal or pelvic mass should always be considered and the relevant tests requested when the cause of the sciatica cannot be explained. We present an 83-year-old male who presented with non-traumatic and non-vascular lumbosacral plexopathy due to a large hematoma in the left adductor muscle following the use of warfarin sodium.
Die spirituelle Dimension des Schmerzes
Authors: Schaupp Walter 
Published: December 2016

ZusammenfassungNoch immer besteht im medizinischen Kontext Unsicherheit im Verständnis der spirituellen Dimension von Krankheit und Schmerz und im Hinblick auf die Frage wie weit diese als eigene Dimension in das medizinische Menschenbild aufgenommen werden soll. Der Beitrag versucht, das Wesen spirituellen Leids auf dem Hintergrund gegenwärtiger neurobiologischer Erkenntnisse ausgehend von einer Analyse menschlicher Subjektivität zu klären. Menschliche Subjektivität und damit verbundene Fragen von Sinn und Bedeutung sind Bedingung für Spirituelles, sollten aber nicht selbst als „spirituell“ bezeichnet werden. Trotz einer feststellbaren terminologischen Verschiebung von „existentiellem Leid“ zu „spirituellem Schmerz“ sollte der Begriff „spirituell“ für Fragen stehen, die letzten Sinn oder letzte Transzendenz involvieren. Die existentielle und die spirituelle Ebene greifen trotzdem eng ineinander. In der Begegnung mit Kranken und Sterbenden sind terminologische Fragen im Vergleich zur Pflicht, alle faktisch bestehenden Formen von Leid und Schmerz wahrzunehmen und darauf zu antworten, jedoch sekundär. „Existentiell-spirituelles Leid“ könnte auf dieser Ebene ein geeigneter Begriff sein, um dem Ineinander von existentiellen Sinnfragen und spirituellen Fragen im engen Sinn gerecht zu werden.
Talentsein als Entwicklungsaufgabe
Authors: Pallesen Hilke 
Published: December 2016

Zusammenfassung
Im Zentrum des vorliegenden Beitrags stehen die Passungsverhältnisse zwischen den Anforderungen einer sportprofilierten Gesamtschule und den subjektiven Bildungsgangkonstruktionen von Sportklassenschülern/innen. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der Passungsarbeit, die diese dazu herausfordert, zu einer subjektiv tragfähigen Vermittlung zwischen den eigenen Entwicklungswünschen und den institutionellen Anforderungen zu gelangen. In einem rekonstruktiv-fallanalytisch angelegten Forschungsprogramm erfolgte die empirische Rekonstruktion dieser Auseinandersetzungsprozesse. Es zeigt sich, dass das ‚Talentsein‘ kaum als standardisierter Ablauf von Karrierestationen zu verstehen ist, sondern vielmehr als Entwicklungsaufgabe, die Potenziale zur Reproduktion aber auch zur Transformation bestehender Selbst- und Weltverständnisse bereithält.
Investigation on the Performance of Forward Bending Fan
Authors: Shuiqing Zhou , Hongying Deng , Yi Ma , Shengchang Zhang 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The forward bending centrifugal fan features long vanes and narrow passages, and the internal flow is apt to be affected by wall boundary layer of the blade surfaces. An aerodynamic investigation on the forward bending centrifugal fan is presented in this paper. The performances of the unsteady flow field in the centrifugal fan is predicted by solving the incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations based on the Shear Stress Transport (SST) – Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) turbulence model. And three-dimensional (3-D) flow phenomenon of non-uniform fluid flow is discussed through observing the flow separation and vortex distribution in the impeller region. The installation location of inlet nozzle is finally adjusted based on the calculated results, and the centrifugal fan with eccentric inlet nozzle is proposed. From the results, the eccentric inlet nozzle with L=3 mm, θ=120° could improve the internal flow of the forward bending centrifugal fan and enhance its aerodynamic performance.

AbstractSchizophrenia is a complex polygenic disorder of unknown etiology. Over 3,000 candidate genes associated with schizophrenia have been reported, most of which being mentioned only once. Alterations in cognitive processing - working memory, metacognition and mentalization - represent a core feature of schizophrenia, which indicates the involvement of the prefrontal cortex in the pathophysiology of this disorder. Hence we compared the gene expression in postmortem tissue from the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC, Brodmann's area 46), and the medial part of the orbitofrontal cortex (MOFC, Brodmann's area 11/12), in six patients with schizophrenia and six control brains. Although in the past decade several studies performed transcriptome profiling in schizophrenia, this is the first study to investigate both hemispheres, providing new knowledge about possible brain asymmetry at the level of gene expression and its relation to schizophrenia. We found that in the left hemisphere, twelve genes from the DLPFC and eight genes from the MOFC were differentially expressed in patients with schizophrenia compared to controls. In the right hemisphere there was only one gene differentially expressed in the MOFC. We reproduce the involvement of previously reported genes TARDBP and HNRNPC in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, and report seven novel genes:SART1, KAT7, C1D, NPM1, EVI2A, XGY2, andTTTY15. As the differentially expressed genes only partially overlap with previous studies that analyzed other brain regions, our findings indicate the importance of considering prefrontal cortical regions, especially those in the left hemisphere, for obtaining disease-relevant insights.

Abstract
The subject of this paper covers two issues, namely the issue of brownfields and their conversion and the issue of Facility Management, which offers the possibility of applying its principles and tools for extending the benefit of the construction works as a tool for active access to care for the property. This paper aims to link these two topics and to identify the possibility of applying Facility Management in the conversation process of revitalization of brownfields so that subsequent commissioning eliminates the risk of future costly operation and relapse of the revitalized building into the category of brownfields.
Sabrina Hoppe: Demokratische Konsenskultur? Von der Sympathie des bundesdeutschen Protestantismus für eine Ethik des Kompromisses
Authors: Hoppe Sabrina 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
In her article the author shows the relevance of the concept of compromise for protestant ethics after 1945. Coming from the current discussion about the significance of compromise in the german society today she asks for the role of compromises for community building and as a guarantee for plurality in the civil society nowadays. The author illustrates the relation between compromise, plurality and democracy in protestant ethics after World War II by presenting an article of the German pastor Eberhard Müller, who was the founder of the Protestant Academy of Bad Boll in Wuerttemberg/West-Germany in 1945. In his article compromise, published in the Evangelisches Soziallexikon (Protestant Encyclopedia of social ethics, Kreuz-Verlag Stuttgart) 1954 Müller emphasizes his conviction, that after the ideology of Nazi-Germany only a culture of communication and exchance, a culture, that is based on compromises could anchor an understanding of democracy in the young German society.
Untangling Basal Ganglia Network Dynamics and Function: Role of Dopamine Depletion and Inhibition Investigated in a Spiking Network Model
Authors: Lindahl Mikael , Hellgren Kotaleski Jeanette 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThe basal ganglia are a crucial brain system for behavioral selection, and their function is disturbed in Parkinson’s disease (PD), where neurons exhibit inappropriate synchronization and oscillations. We present a spiking neural model of basal ganglia including plausible details on synaptic dynamics, connectivity patterns, neuron behavior, and dopamine effects. Recordings of neuronal activity in the subthalamic nucleus and Type A (TA; arkypallidal) and Type I (TI; prototypical) neurons in globus pallidus externa were used to validate the model. Simulation experiments predict that both local inhibition in striatum and the existence of an indirect pathway are important for basal ganglia to function properly over a large range of cortical drives. The dopamine depletion–induced increase of AMPA efficacy in corticostriatal synapses to medium spiny neurons (MSNs) with dopamine receptor D2 synapses (CTX-MSN D2) and the reduction of MSN lateral connectivity (MSN–MSN) were found to contribute significantly to the enhanced synchrony and oscillations seen in PD. Additionally, reversing the dopamine depletion–induced changes to CTX–MSN D1, CTX–MSN D2, TA–MSN, and MSN–MSN couplings could improve or restore basal ganglia action selection ability. In summary, we found multiple changes of parameters for synaptic efficacy and neural excitability that could improve action selection ability and at the same time reduce oscillations. Identification of such targets could potentially generate ideas for treatments of PD and increase our understanding of the relation between network dynamics and network function.

<p>Soybean pod damaged by pod sucking bug (<em>Riptortus linearis</em>) is one of the constraint within soybean yield improvement in Indonesia. The research aimed was to identify the resistance of soybean genotypes to pod sucking pest. The experiment was conducted in Iletri’s screen house from March to June 2015. The experiment was arranged in Randomized Completely Block Design using 10 soybean genotypes with three replicates. The soybean resistance was evaluated using no-choice test. Data collected on number of pod/plant, number of seed/plant, seed weight per plant, number of attacked pod/plant, and number of attacked seed/plant. The result showed that the lowest percentage both of pod and seed damage was G511H/Anjasmoro//Anjasmoro-2-8, that was 25.83 % and 19.12 %, respectively. Based on the value of the percentage of seed damage, there were five susceptible genotypes, three moderately resistant, and two resistant genotypes. Based on the value of the percentage of pod damage, showed four susceptible genotypes, five moderately resistant, and a resistant genotype. G511H/Anjasmoro//Anjasmoro-2-8 was the only resistant genotype, and it could be used as a genetic source in the improvement of soybean resistance to pod sucking bug.</p><p><strong>How to Cite</strong></p><p>Krisnawati, A., Bayu, M.

<p>Currently, Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG) has a domestication programme of wild raspberries (<em>Rubus</em> sp.) from Indonesia mountain forest. One of the activities in the domestication programme is fruit breeding. In order to improve the quality of wild raspberry, two mutagens i.e. chemical (oryzalin) and physical (gamma rays) mutagens were used in the breeding programme. Moreover, seed of wild raspberries from the collection of CBG were used in the programme of mutation breeding. The results showed that each species of wild raspberries has different response on the mutagen. Percentage of seed germination were affected by mutagen of oryzalin and gamma rays. <em>Rubus fraxinifolius </em>and<em> Rubus rosifolius</em> seeds were still able to germinate after treated by 100 µM of oryzalin. In the other hand, with increase in radiation above 300 Gy a reduction in percentage of germination was observed in M1 generation of <em>Rubus lineatus </em>and <em>Rubus chrysophyllus</em>.</p><p><strong>How to Cite</strong></p><p>Surya, M.
