PathShuffle: Credit Mixing and Anonymous Payments for Ripple
Authors: Moreno-Sanchez Pedro , Ruffing Tim , Kate Aniket 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The I owe you (IOU) credit network Ripple is one of the most prominent alternatives in the burgeoning field of decentralized payment systems. Ripple’s path-based transactions set it apart from cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Its pseudonymous nature, while still maintaining some regulatory capabilities, has motivated several financial institutions across the world to use Ripple for processing their daily transactions. Nevertheless, with its public ledger, a credit network such as Ripple is no different from a cryptocurrency in terms of weak privacy; recent demonstrative deanonymization attacks raise important concerns regarding the privacy of the Ripple users and their transactions. However, unlike for cryptocurrencies, there is no known privacy solution compatible with the existing credit networks such as Ripple.
In this paper, we present PathShuffle, the first path mixing protocol for credit networks. PathShuffle is fully compatible with the current credit networks. As its essential building block, we propose PathJoin, a novel protocol to perform atomic transactions in credit networks. Using PathJoin and the P2P mixing protocol DiceMix, PathShuffle is a decentralized solution for anonymizing path-based transactions. We demonstrate the practicality of PathShuffle by performing path mixing in Ripple.

Delamination of Composite Laminate Plate by Sliding Load Mode
Authors: Kormaníková Eva 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The paper presents the mixed-mode delamination response of laminate plate made of two sublaminates. To this purpose a sliding load mode of delamination is proposed as failure model. A quasistatic rate-independent delamination problem of laminate plates with a finite thickness is considered. A rate-independent delamination model for a laminated Kirchhoff-Love plate is obtained. The failure model is implemented in ANSYS code to calculate the mixed-mode delamination response as energy release rate along the lamination front.

Published: July 2017

AbstractRegulation of IgE concentration in the blood is a complex trait, with high concentrations associated with parasitic infections as well as allergic diseases. A/J strain mice have significantly higher plasma concentrations of IgE, both at baseline and after ovalbumin antigen exposure, when compared to C57BL/6J strain mice. Our objective was to determine the genomic regions associated with this difference in phenotype. To achieve this, we used a panel of recombinant congenic strains (RCS) derived from A/J and C57BL/6J strains. We measured IgE in the RCS panel at baseline and following allergen exposure. Using marker by marker analysis of the RCS genotype and phenotype data, we identified multiple regions associated with the IgE phenotype. A single region was identified to be associated with baseline IgE level, while multiple regions wereassociated with the phenotype after allergen exposure. The most significant region was found on Chromosome 4, from 81.46 to 86.17 Mbp. Chromosome 4 substitution strain mice had significantly higher concentration of IgE than their background parental strain mice, C57BL/6J. Our data presents multiple candidate regions associated with plasma IgE concentration at baseline and following allergen exposure, with the most significant one located on Chromosome 4.
Trace of Faction/Fiction in Roberto Kauk’s Historical Narrative Last Days in the Life of Nikola Zrinjski Jr., Croatian Viceroy (1879) / Trag fakcije / fikcije u historijskoj pripovijetci Roberta Kauka Zadnji dani života Nikole Zrinjskoga mladjega, hrvatsk
Authors: Bilić Anica 
Published: July 2017

Abstract The question of parallelism of past events and their account in literary discourse, legitimation of oral accounts as historical facts and appreciation of oral preservation of antiquities has been studied on the literary text Last days in the life of Nikola Zrinjski Jr., Croatian Viceroy, written as a historical narrative by Franciscan Robert Kauk (Vukovar, 1848 – Zagreb, 1900). We observed traces of fact and degree of referencing of what has been written relying on the positivist and mimetic approach to text and the dominating rationalist tradition. Then we continued with observing traces of fiction with non-historical elements referring to the achievements of narratology and linguistic inversion which place the center of interpretation on the role of language and narration, thus unburdening referential verification and text value, and emphasizing the narrative identity and symbolic structure of the story. The different ending of Kauk’s story, as a deviation from the official story of the death of Nikola Zrinski in a boar hunt near Čakovec on November 18, 1664, indicates an awareness that the textual legacy contains historical and linguistic structures indicating differences between faction and fiction. Key words: faction; fiction; historiographic discourse; literary discourse; narratology. ---SažetakNa književnom tekstu napisanom u žanru historičke pripovijetke pisca franjevca Roberta Kauka (Vukovar, 1848. – Zagreb, 1900.)

Family, Social Context and Drug Addiction in Young Adult Novels/Obiteljski i socijalni kontekst i ovisnost o drogi u romanima za mlade
Authors: Živković Zebec Vedrana , Novak Jelena 
Published: July 2017

AbstractIn the 1990s the influence of literary and extraliterary changes introduced new topics to Croatian literature for young adults. Those are the topics (like drug addiction) that had been considered taboo prior to these changes. This paper presents work on a selected corpus of novels written in the period from the 1990s to the present to investigate the family and social context that appears in novels discussing drug addiction and to explore in what manner the identity formation of the individual is influenced. In the four novels analyzed: Kad pobjedi ljubav [When Love Prevails], Čarobni prosjak [The Magical Beggar], Miron u škripcu [Miron in Trouble] and Meko okidanje [The Soft Triggering] the causes of addiction are linked to family problems, while in the novel Zeleni pas [The Green Dog] there is no family pathology. A disintegrating family, neglectful parents or the lack of parental presence (physical and emotional) influence the identity formation of the teenage protagonists. In all of these novels the life of addicts is presented as a life on the margins of society. They are either ignored or pitied by their surroundings, with rare occurrences of helpers, while the institutions prove to be ineffective and powerless. The unfortunate endings in the novels that take hold of the addicts and their family members function as a warning. Only the novel Miron u škripcu [Miron in Trouble] presents a different kind of ending where the importance of family is emphasized. Key words: drug addiction; family context; social context; young adult literature.---Sažetak Devedesetih se godina 20. stoljeća pod utjecajem književnih i izvanknjiževnih promjena u hrvatsku književnost za mlade unose nove do tada tabuizirane teme, a jedna od novih tema je i problematiziranje ovisnosti o drogi. U radu je na odabranom korpusu romana od 90-ih godina do danas istražen kakav se obiteljski i socijalni kontekst pojavljuje u romanima koji problematiziraju ovisnost o drogi i kako oni utječu na izgradnju identiteta pojedinca. U četiri analizirana romana: Kad pobijedi ljubav, Čarobni prosjak, Miron u škripcu i Meko okidanje, uzroci se problema s ovisnošću povezuju s obiteljskim problemima, a u romanu Zeleni pas izostaje obiteljska patologija. Obitelj koja se raspada, roditelji koje ne mare za djecu ili nedostatak prisustva roditelja (fizički ili emotivno) utječu na izgradnju identiteta likova tinejdžera. U svim je romanima život ovisnika prikazan kao život na rubu društva. Okolina ih ili ignorira ili sažalijeva. Rijetki im pomažu, a institucije se pokazuju kao nemoćne. Upozoravajuća je funkcija proučavanih romana u nesretnom kraju koji zahvaća ovisnike ili članove njihovih obitelji, a izostaje samo u romanu Miron u škripcu u kojemu se afirmira važnost obiteljske zajednice. Ključne riječi: književnost za mlade; ovisnost o drogi; slika obitelji; socijalni kontekst.

Abstract

Lessons Learned
Ofatumumab infusion reactions can be diminished by escalating the dose rate in individual patients in sequential infusions.

Background
Ofatumumab (OFA) is a fully humanized, anti-CD20 antibody approved for use in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The recommended administration requires long infusion times. We evaluated an accelerated infusion regimen of 2 hours.

Methods
The first dose of OFA (300 mg) was given on week 1 day 1 starting at 3.6 mg/hour and doubling every 30 minutes until a rate of 240 mg/hour was reached. If tolerated, the second dose (1,000 mg) was given on week 1 day 3 starting at 50 mg/hour and doubling every 30 minutes until a rate of 800 mg/hour was reached. If tolerated, the third dose (2,000 mg) was given on week 2 day 1 at 800 mg/hour over the first 30 minutes and, if tolerated, at 1,068 mg/hour over the next 90 minutes (goal infusion time: 120 minutes). Subsequent OFA infusions were administered weekly in the same manner for 8 weeks, and then monthly for 4 months.

Results
Thirty-four patients were treated. Most infusion-related reactions occurred during the first and second infusion. Eighty-seven percent (87%) of patients finished the third infusion within 15 minutes of the planned 2 hours and only one had an infusion reaction.

Conclusion
Using this stepped-up dosing regimen, a rapid infusion of OFA is safe and well tolerated.

Published: July 2017

Aim: Evaluate the impact of a campus-based culinary nutrition education program, the College CHEF: Cooking Healthfully Education for Life-long Change, to determine if there were significant differences preto post- intervention with participants' attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge with healthy eating/cooking.Background: College students have high rates of overweight and obesity and tend to have unhealthy dietary practices. Culinary nutrition programs may provide students a means to improve related attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge.Methods: College students residing on campus were recruited. Participants completing both pre- and post-measures were included in analysis: Control (n= 17) and intervention groups (n = 15). Quasi-experimental pre-, post- design: Surveys were administered to both groups at baseline and post-intervention in October-November 2015.Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in fruit and vegetable consumption (p = .03) and with knowledge of cooking terms and techniques (p < .001).Conclusions: Campus-based culinary nutrition education programming has potential to positively impact college students’ fruit and vegetable consumption and cooking knowledge. Future programs should incorporate strategies such as additional opportunities to engage in hands-on practice and building cross-campus collaborations to promote sustainability.
¿Bandoleros o resistentes? La guerrilla morisca en el reino de Granada a comienzos del siglo XVI<br /><em>Banditry or resistance? Moorish guerrilla warfare in the Kingdom of Granada at the beginning of the 16th century</em>
Authors: Peinado Santaella Rafael G. 
Published: July 2017

RESUMEN Como fácilmente puede colegirse del mismo, el título de este trabajo plantea al mismo tiempo una pregunta y su respuesta. Esta, como he tratado in extenso en un libro reciente, se inclina por el segundo de los términos contenidos en aquella. Pero, a decir verdad, el mérito de la precisión terminológica se remonta a autores que escribieron sobre el tema mucho tiempo atrás, lo que no ha impedido que las palabras resistencia y resistente hayan quedado arrinconadas por otras como bandolerismo, bandidismo, bandidaje y bandoleros, o para decirlo mejor, por ese vocablo de difícil precisión cronológica como es el de monfíes, que, a partir de 1526, se impuso a gazíes. Después de recordar, a modo de breve estado de la cuestión las principales aportaciones o sugerencias que se han hecho al tema del llamado “bandolerismo morisco”, analizaré los perfiles sociales de los protagonistas de la resistencia y de sus víctimas, los escenarios donde la practicaron de manera preferente y cómo fue reprimida. PALABRAS CLAVES: Reino de Granada, moriscos, resistencia, Historia Social, represión social ABSTRACT The title of this piece raises a question and suggests responses. This present study leans towards the latter of the two. The credit for this terminological precision must go to authors from the distant past. However, this has not prevented words like resistance and resistors from giving way to others related to banditry or to be more precise monfíes, which after 1526 replaced gazíes. After recalling the principal contributions or suggestions that have been made to the topic of so called “Moorish banditry”, I will analyze the social profiles of the protagonists of the resistance and of their victims, the places where they practiced it and how it was suppressed.

Parallel Solution of Hierarchical Symmetric Positive Definite Linear Systems
Authors: Aliaga José I. , Carratalá-Sáez Rocío , Quintana-Ortí Enrique S. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
We present a prototype task-parallel algorithm for the solution of hierarchical symmetric positive definite linear systems via the ℋ-Cholesky factorization that builds upon the parallel programming standards and associated runtimes for OpenMP and OmpSs. In contrast with previous efforts, our proposal decouples the numerical aspects of the linear algebra operation from the complexities associated with high performance computing. Our experiments make an exhaustive analysis of the efficiency attained by different parallelization approaches that exploit either task-parallelism or loop-parallelism via a runtime. Alternatively, we also evaluate a solution that leverages multi-threaded parallelism via the parallel implementation of the Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (BLAS) in Intel MKL.

Learning Journal and the Students’ Achievement in Grammar Class: Transitivity Analysis
Authors: Isti'anah Arina 
Published: July 2017

Learning journal enables students to reflect of what they have experienced in the learning process. This article presents the students’ learning journal in grammar class. For some students, grammar is seen as a course which does not attract their interest. It resulted on their ignorance of the course. However, students have to face the fact that grammar is an integral part of their literacy as it affects the meaning of their utterances, both spoken and written. The participants involved were the 37 students of English Letters Department, Sanata Dharma University. The students were in Structure IV course, one of grammar classes offered by the study program. The instruments involved were the students’ learning journal wrtten during the semester and their final grades. The learning journal was analyzed by means of Halliday’s transitivity. The findings reveal that most of the students used material process in their learning journal, while mental and relational processes do not appear often in the journal. The students’ achievement in class is dominated by an A in the end of the semester. Relating the two findings above, this article concludes that students’ practice of their knowledge in their social life affects their achievement in class. The employment of material process in the students’ learning journal reveals the students’ practice and purpose of learning grammar. Keywords: learning journal, grammar, transitivity

Published: July 2017

Introdução: As lesões bucais ocorrem com frequência em pacientes infectados pelo vírus HIV, podendo ser a representação dos primeiros sinais da doença, o que torna importante o diagnóstico inicial precoce pelos cirurgiões-dentistas. Objetivo: Apresentar uma síntese das informações mais relevantes sobre as principais manifestações bucais em pacientes soropositivos para HIV/AIDS. Material e Método: Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura em livros e bases de dados eletrônicos. Resultados: Os pacientes soropositivos podem desenvolver várias lesões bucais e peribucais, que não são únicas para portadores do HIV, mas ocorrem em maior frequência quando associadas a imunossupressão. As mais prevalentes são Infecções Fúngicas (Candidíase e Queilite Angular), Infecções Bacterianas (Doença Periodontal e Gengivite Úlcero-Necrosante), Infecções Virais (Herpes Simples e Leucoplasia Pilosa Oral) e Lesões Neoplásicas (Sarcoma de Kaposi). Conclusão: O número de pacientes HIV/AIDS é elevado, e mesmo com os tratamentos atuais, a suscetibilidade à lesões bucais ainda é alta, sendo a candidíase pseudomembranosa a infecção mais comum. O cirurgião-dentista é imprescindível no diagnóstico precoce destas lesões para contribuir para uma melhor qualidade de vida dos pacientes.Descritores: Síndrome de Imunodeficiência Adquirida; Infecções por HIV; Manifestações Bucais.

Published: July 2017

O traumatismo dentário é um evento bastante comum, representando uma situação de urgência que compreende questões físicas e psicológicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a prevalência das fraturas coronárias em dentes permanentes e também uma possível complicação, como a necrose pulpar, decorrente do traumatismo dentário. Este estudo transversal e retrospectivo foi realizado por meio da avaliação dos prontuários e exames radiográficos de um centro de referência em traumatismos dentários na cidade de Maringá-PR, entre os períodos de janeiro de 2008 a dezembro de 2014. Os dados demográficos de interesse foram: sexo, idade do paciente no momento da injúria traumática, dente acometido, causa, tipo da injúria traumática, estágio de desenvolvimento radicular e presença de necrose pulpar. O sexo masculino (68%) foi mais acometido que o sexo feminino (32%), sendo que as injúrias ocorreram mais frequentemente nos pacientes com idade entre 6-11 anos (60%). O incisivo central superior foi o dente mais afetado (74%) e a injúria mais frequente foi fratura de esmalte e dentina sem exposição pulpar (70%). A necrose pulpar foi observada em 14% das fraturas coronárias. O teste exato de Fisher não demonstrou uma associação entre a necrose pulpar e as fraturas coronárias (p=0,1153) e entre a necrose pulpar e o estágio de desenvolvimento radicular (p=0,191). A prevalência de fraturas coronárias é maior em crianças e adolescentes. Uma frequência pequena de necrose pulpar foi observada e não se observou uma associação com as fraturas coronárias e o estágio de desenvolvimento radicular.Descritores: Traumatismos Dentários; Prevalência; Necrose da Polpa Dentária.
