Framing Sálvame: Public debates on taste, quality and television in Spain
Authors: Besalú Reinald , Oliva Mercè , Pérez-Latorre Óliver 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The main aim of this article is to analyze the social circulation of discourses on non-hegemonic cultural practices, in particular,
on what is called “trash TV”, and how they are connected to struggles over cultural and social hierarchies. To do so, it takes a specific
event as starting point: the injunction that the CNMC (the Spanish broadcasting regulatory body) filed against Mediaset
(a commercial TV operator) to adjust the contents of Sálvame Diario (a celebrity gossip program frequently associated with
“trash TV”) to the requirements of what is known as the “child protection time slot”. This paper uses constructionist framing to analyze how
this event was discussed by different social actors. Our analysis shows that while the CNMC and the press painted the conflict as a legal issue,
Sálvame and social media users focused their discussion on the social acceptability of celebrity gossip media and their
viewers (specifically working-class women).
The Interactive Communication Process (ICP): A model for integrating science, academia, and profession
Authors: Mas Manchón Lluís , Rodero Emma 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
A closer look at the three areas of action in communication permits us to conclude that the discipline faces a serious crisis.
First, an epistemological review shows a fragmented body of theories. Secondly, there is a plurality of separate traditions within
academia. Third, the professional field is technology-centered and lacks expertise since there is little connection between theory
and practice. Our goal is to analyze the three-fold state of the discipline and to propose a conciliatory model. The Interactive
Communication Process (ICP) is based on an interactive process in which a human subsystem (a processor), conditioned by his or
her psychological and social and cultural state, interacts with another communicative subsystem (another human or a technological
processor) to elaborate or process a message conveyed through some space (channel) in a certain time (synchronous or asynchronous).
Preconditioning methods for eddy-current optimally controlled time-harmonic electromagnetic problems
Authors: Axelsson Owe , Lukáš Dalibor 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Time-harmonic problems arise in many important applications, such as eddy current optimally controlled electromagnetic problems. Eddy current modelling can also be used in non-destructive testings of conducting materials. Using a truncated Fourier series to approximate the solution, for linear problems the equation for different frequencies separate, so it suffices to study solution methods for the problem for a single frequency.
The arising discretized system takes a two-by-two or four-by-four block matrix form. Since the problems are in general three-dimensional in space and hence of very large scale, one must use an iterative solution method. It is then crucial to construct efficient preconditioners.
It is shown that an earlier used preconditioner for optimal control problems is applicable here also and leads to very tight eigenvalue bounds and hence very fast convergence such as for a Krylov subspace iterative solution method. A comparison is done with an earlier used block diagonal preconditioner.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate when in pregnancy to stop the administration of low dose aspirin (150 mg/daily) so as to prevent fetal growth restriction (FGR) A randomised, placebo-controlled study was designed. The patients were all screened positive using the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) early pregnancy screening test for preeclampsia (PE) and FGR prediction. One hundred and fifty patients were enrolled and divided equally into three groups: A – the controls who received placebo treatment; B – those who received aspirin till 32 weeks of gestation and C – those who received aspirin till 36 weeks of gestation. The mean gestational age at enrollment was similar for all the groups (12.4 weeks). The growth curves, fetal and maternal Doppler measurements and amniotic fluid index (AFI) were monitored every 4 weeks. Also, the outcome of the pregnancy was noted and all the results were compared between the groups. FGR was defined as a fetal weight below the 10th centile for gestational age. In group C, there were less cases of FGR compared with the other groups: 6% vs. 10% in group B vs. 24% in controls. Also, there was a significant birth weight improvement in this group with a median of 3180 g compared with 2950 g in group B and 2760 g in group A (P=0.01). The gestational age at delivery was similar in all the groups (39 weeks in group C/39.2 weeks in group B/38.6 weeks in group A). In conclusion, low dose aspirin improves the outcome in the selected population and should be offered for prevention of FGR from 12 to 36 weeks.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Marco Polo sheep (Ovis ammon polii) occurring in the rugged mountainous landscapes of Central and South Asia, are difficult to survey and conserve due to their straggling habits in remote and inhospitable habitats. The paper presents population estimates and migration trends of Marco Polo sheep in Khunjerab, Pakistan, over 20 years (1992–2012), determined through direct count method. During this period a total of 1069 sheep visited Pakistan, with mean annual herd size of 76.35 (SD=±40.87). Sex ratio in the population skewed towards females, having male:female ratio of 0.69:1 with 43 lambs to 100 ewes. Annual population density of the immigrant populations oscillated between 0.42 and 2.13 animals/km2 (SD=±0.53). The visitation showed drastic decline over 20 years, possibly due to fencing at the Sino-Pakistan border and dietary competition with wild herbivores. Fewer lambs in summer populations is another point of concern, probably as result of predation of young cohort by avian and mammalian predators. Removing obstructions on migratory routes and reducing dietary competition with sympatric herbivores are suggested for viability of argali populations in Pakistan.
Radial Extension, Prototypicality, and Tectonic Equivalence
Authors: Shaver Stephen R. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
In his book “Without Metaphor, No Saving God: Theology After Cognitive Linguistics”, Robert Masson describes a metaphoric process by which newly accepted truths emerge: for example, in the assertion “Jesus is the Messiah,” Christians reconfigure the field of meanings associated with an existing concept from the Hebrew scriptures (messiah) by asserting its identification with Jesus. Masson dubs this process a “tectonic equivalence” or “tectonic shift.” In this paper I build on Masson‘s work by examining some of the shifts he describes as tectonic through the lens of the cognitive linguistics concepts of radial extension and polysemy. I propose that a lasting tectonic shift may be understood as a blend creating a radial extension that substantially alters the category structure of the original source frame so that the blended space comes to be understood as a central instance of that category. Such an approach allows a fruitful analysis of the similarities and differences among three example blends: god is a rock, jesus is the messiah, and jesus is god.
Genetic algorithm optimization for dynamic construction site layout planning
Authors: Farmakis Panagiotis M. , Chassiakos Athanasios P. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The dynamic construction site layout planning (DCSLP) problem refers to the efficient placement and relocation of temporary construction facilities within a dynamically changing construction site environment considering the characteristics of facilities and work interrelationships, the shape and topography of the construction site, and the time-varying project needs. A multi-objective dynamic optimization model is developed for this problem that considers construction and relocation costs of facilities, transportation costs of resources moving from one facility to another or to workplaces, as well as safety and environmental considerations resulting from facilities’ operations and interconnections. The latter considerations are taken into account in the form of preferences or constraints regarding the proximity or remoteness of particular facilities to other facilities or work areas. The analysis of multiple project phases and the dynamic facility relocation from phase to phase highly increases the problem size, which, even in its static form, falls within the NP (for Nondeterministic Polynomial time)- hard class of combinatorial optimization problems. For this reason, a genetic algorithm has been implemented for the solution due to its capability to robustly search within a large solution space. Several case studies and operational scenarios have been implemented through the Palisade’s Evolver software for model testing and evaluation. The results indi­cate satisfactory model response to time-varying input data in terms of solution quality and computation time. The model can provide decision support to site managers, allowing them to examine alternative scenarios and fine-tune optimal solutions according to their experience by introducing desirable preferences or constraints in the decision process.
An integration of spreadsheet and project management software for cost optimal time scheduling in construction
Authors: Valenko Tadej , Klanšek Uroš 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Successful performance and completion of construction projects highly depend on an adequate time scheduling of the project activities. On implementation of time scheduling, the execution modes of activities are most often required to be set in a manner that enables in achieving the minimum total project cost. This paper presents an approach to cost optimal time scheduling, which integrates a spreadsheet application and data transfer to project management software (PMS). At this point, the optimization problem of project time scheduling is modelled employing Microsoft Excel and solved to optimality using Solver while organization of data is dealt by macros. Thereupon, Microsoft Project software is utilized for further managing and presentation of optimized time scheduling solution. In this way, the data flow between programs is automated and possibilities of error occurrence during scheduling process are reduced to a minimum. Moreover, integration of spreadsheet and PMS for cost optimal time scheduling in construction is performed within well-known program environment that increases the possibilities of its wider use in practice. An application example is shown in this paper to demonstrate the advantages of proposed approach.

Abstract
In this paper,we present the implementation of a dedicated software, MAP-OPT, for optimising the design of ModifiedAtmosphere Packaging of refrigerated fresh, nonrespiring food products. The core principle of this software is to simulate the impact of gas (O2/CO2) exchanges on the growth of gas-sensitive microorganisms in the packed food system. In its simplest way, this tool, associated with a data warehouse storing food, bacteria and packaging properties, allows the user to explore his/her system in a user-friendly manner by adjusting/changing the pack geometry, packaging material and gas composition (mixture of O2/CO2/N2). Via the @Web application, the data warehouse associated with MAP-OPT is structured by an ontology, which allows data to be collected and stored in a standardized format and vocabulary in order to be easily retrieved using a standard querying methodology. In an optimisation approach, the MAP-OPT software enables to determine the packaging characteristics (e.g. gas permeability) suitable for a target application (e.g. maximal bacterial population at the best-before-date). These targeted permeabilities are then used to query the packaging data warehouse using the@Web applicationwhich proposes a ranking of the most satisfying materials for the target application (i.e. packaging materialswhose characteristics are the closest to the target ones identified by the MAP-OPT software). This approach allows a more rational dimensioning of MAP of non-respiring food products by selecting the packaging material fitted to “just necessary” (and not by default, that with the greatest barrier properties). A working example of MAP dimensioning for a strictly anaerobic, CO2-sensitive microorganism, Pseudomonas fluorescens, is given to highlight the usefulness of the software.
Great Vessels Anomalies – Prenatal Echocardiography and Neonatal Angio-CT – A Pictorial Essay
Authors: Respondek-Liberska Maria , Łukaszewski Maciej , Oleś Adam , Podgórski Michał , Grzelak Piotr , Słodki Maciej 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Introduction: Fetal echocardiography is a method of choice for diagnosing cardiovascular anomalies prenatally. However, in the majority of cases, the complexity of a defect creates a diagnostic challenge. Moreover, postnatal validation of sonographic findings rarely can be obtained. Nevertheless, the feedback is vital for improving diagnostic capabilities. Thus, the aim of this research was to compare results of prenatal echocardiography with postnatal angio-CT in patients with anomalies of great vessels. Material and methods: We retrospectively compared results of prenatal echocardiography and postnatal angio-CT in 10 patients with selected anomalies of the aortic arch. This was a qualitative analysis, thus discrepancies in recognized anomalies were compared between these two modalities. Results: In 8/10 patient diagnoses were fully consistent. Nevertheless, the tiny caliber of vessels created a diagnostic challenge (e.x. to differentiate the hypoplastic aortic arch from the aortic arch interruption). In the remaining case, the discrepancy was due to a problem with complete visualization of all branches of the aortic arch in prenatal ultrasound. Conclusions: Fetal echocardiography in tertiary center was a reliable method for assessment of great vessels anomalies. However, critically narrow vessels remain a diagnostic challenge and neonatal angio-CT seems to be the method of choice in cases of diagnostic doubts.

Abstract
Introduction: Congenital heart defects are the most frequent reason for deaths during the neonatal and early infancy periods. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze singleton pregnancy outcomes of premature neonates with congenital cardiac defects delivered by Cesarean section. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 10,800 fetuses evaluated in our referral fetal cardiac center between 2010 and 2016. A group of 58 singleton pregnancies was selected with the following criteria: fetal heart defect, Cesarean section (C-section), and gestation of 37 weeks or less. Exclusion criteria included labor outside of our hospital and multiple pregnancy. Results: Isolated heart defects constituted 74,1% (43 cases) of the analysed data set. The majority of newborns were delivered at 36 weeks of gestation (43,1%), with an average of 33,6 weeks. In one case (1,7%), C-section took place at 22nd week. Birth weight of newborns < 2500g constituted 51,7% (30 cases). Neonatal deaths occurred in 60,3% (35 cases). Conclusions: Preterm neonates with congenital heart defect, delivered by C-section in our reference centre, during 2010 to 2016, had generally poor outcomes and high mortality rate. The average hospital stay of surviving neonates was approximately two months. An improvement of knowledge about prenatal cardiology is necessary in obstetrician management with fetuses with congenital heart diseases.

AbstractHuman exposure to environmental contaminants such as persistent chlorinated organics, heavy metals, pesticides, phthalates, flame retardants, electronic waste and airborne pollutants around the world, and especially in Southeast Asian regions, are significant and require urgent attention. Given this widespread contamination and abundance of such toxins as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the ecosystem, it is unlikely that remediation alone will be sufficient to address the health impacts associated with this exposure. Furthermore, we must assume that the impact on health of some of these contaminants results in populations with extraordinary vulnerabilities to disease risks. Further exacerbating risk; infectious diseases, poverty and malnutrition are common in the Southeast Asian regions of the world. Thus, exploring preventive measures of environmental exposure and disease risk through new paradigms of environmental toxicology, optimal and/or healthful nutrition and health is essential. For example, folic acid supplementation can lower blood arsenic levels, and plant-derived bioactive nutrients can lower cardiovascular and cancer risks linked to pollutant exposure. Data also indicate that diets enriched with bioactive food components such as polyphenols and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can prevent or decrease toxicant-induced inflammation. Thus, consuming healthy diets that exhibit high levels of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is a meaningful way to reduce the vulnerability to non-communicable diseases linked to environmental toxic insults. This nutritional paradigm in environmental toxicology requires further study in order to improve our understanding of the relationship between nutrition or other lifestyle modifications and toxicant-induced diseases. Understanding mechanistic relationships between nutritional modulation of environmental toxicants and susceptibility to disease development are important for both cumulative risk assessment and the design and implementation of future public health programs and behavioral interventions.

Authors: Akcan Nurullah 
Published: January 2018

Abstract

Objective
The aim of this work was to study the optimal cultivation conditions for β-galactosidase production by Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 12759.

Materials and methods
The screening of β-galactosidase production from B. licheniformis ATCC 12759 was performed by solid state fermentation method on media rich with rice bran (RB). Different factors were tested for the optimization of β-galactosidase production.

Results
Certain fermentation parameters involving incubation time, incubation temperature, inoculum level, moisture content, initial pH, agitation speed, size of fermentation medium and optimum temperature of β-galactosidase activity were studied separately. Maximal amount of β-galactosidase production was obtained when solid-state fermentation (SSF) was carried out using RB, having inoculum level 35%, moisture content of 20%, initial pH 7.5 at 37°C for 48 h.

Conclusion
Results indicated that optimal fermentation conditions play a key role in the maximum production of β-galactosidase from B. licheniformis ATCC 12759. This study shows the potential of the studied enzymes to be promoting candidates for the degradation of lactose and production of important bioproducts.

Published: January 2018

Abstract

Objective
Using data retrieved from three different hospitals, we established indirect reference intervals of free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) for the Centaur XP or the Immulite 2000 instruments, in separate reference limits at each subset.

Methods
We categorized children into seven age groups: 4–7 days, 8–15 days, 16–23 days, 24–61 days, 3–6 months, 7–36 months and 4–6 years. After a Box-Cox transformation was employed, we followed the Horn algorithm to eliminate the extreme values.

Results
The remaining FT4 (11,230) and TSH (11,274) tests were statistically analyzed. We determined separate reference limits at each subset with their own 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles. The interaction effect of both hospital and age grouping on FT4 was meaningful, but there was no interaction effect on TSH.

Conclusions
Pediatric FT4 and TSH test results should be interpreted via narrowed age groups, especially in the first 3 weeks of neonatal period. Our reference limits may be recommended in pediatric follow-ups, considering the conditions of prematurity, birth-weight or multiple births. Preanalytical and analytical variations related with complex molecular structure of FT4 should be taken into consideration to ensure the validity of the result.
