Objective:
The purpose of this UK study was to evaluate interfraction reproducibility and body image score when using ultraviolet (UV) tattoos (not visible in ambient lighting) for external references during breast/chest wall radiotherapy and compare with conventional dark ink.

Methods:
In this non-blinded, single-centre, parallel group, randomized control trial, patients were allocated to receive either conventional dark ink or UV ink tattoos using computer-generated random blocks. Participant assignment was not masked. Systematic (∑) and random (σ) setup errors were determined using electronic portal images. Body image questionnaires were completed at pre-treatment, 1 month and 6 months to determine the impact of tattoo type on body image. The primary end point was to determine that UV tattoo random error (σ setup) was no less accurate than with conventional dark ink tattoos, i.e. &lt;2.8 mm.

Results:
46 patients were randomized to receive conventional dark or UV ink tattoos. 45 patients completed treatment (UV: n = 23, dark: n = 22). σ setup for the UV tattoo group was &lt;2.8 mm in the u and v directions (p = 0.001 and p = 0.009, respectively). A larger proportion of patients reported improvement in body image score in the UV tattoo group compared with the dark ink group at 1 month [56% (13/23) vs 14% (3/22), respectively] and 6 months [52% (11/21) vs 38% (8/21), respectively].

Conclusion:
UV tattoos were associated with interfraction setup reproducibility comparable with conventional dark ink. Patients reported a more favourable change in body image score up to 6 months following treatment.

Advances in knowledge:
This study is the first to evaluate UV tattoo external references in a randomized control trial.
Key Reasons Why Transformation Projects Fail: Case-Study of a Procurement Function Transformation Project in a Large Russian Energy Corporation
Authors: �������  , Knyazeva Arina 
Published: October 2016

Challenging issue of transformation project (program) management is discussed
in this paper. Transformation projects are widely implemented by
companies and their successful implementation has a direct impact on the
competitiveness of companies. There are a number of transformation project
management methodologies invented and widely implemented today,
however, according to various estimates, from 60 to 70% of the transformation
projects still fail.
This article describes main transformation project management methodologies,
as well as the results of various researches done in the field of identification
of factors of failure of transformation projects. This paper explores an
unsuccessfully implemented transformation project of procurement function
in a large Russian energy corporation. Key failure factors of transformation
project implementation are revealed and recommendations to prevent the
issues identified are made in the form of �lessons learnt�.
A Bayesian Methodology for Systemic Risk Assessment in Financial Networks
Authors: Gandy Axel , Veraart Luitgard A. M. 
Published: October 2016

We develop a Bayesian methodology for systemic risk assessment in financial networks such as the interbank market. Nodes represent participants in the network, and weighted directed edges represent liabilities. Often, for every participant, only the total liabilities and total assets within this network are observable. However, systemic risk assessment needs the individual liabilities. We propose a model for the individual liabilities, which, following a Bayesian approach, we then condition on the observed total liabilities and assets and, potentially, on certain observed individual liabilities. We construct a Gibbs sampler to generate samples from this conditional distribution. These samples can be used in stress testing, giving probabilities for the outcomes of interest. As one application we derive default probabilities of individual banks and discuss their sensitivity with respect to prior information included to model the network. An R package implementing the methodology is provided. This paper was accepted by Noah Gans, stochastic models and simulation.
Sequelae of large-head metal-on-metal hip arthroplasties
Authors: van Lingen Christiaan P. , Zagra Luigi M. , Ettema Harmen B. , Verheyen Cees C. 
Published: October 2016

Large-head metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings were re-popularised in the late 1990s with the introduction of modern hip resurfacing (HR), followed closely by large metal head total hip arthroplasty (THA). A worldwide increase in the use of MoM hip arthroplasty subsequently saw a sharp decline, due to serious complications. MoM was rapidly adopted in the early 2000s until medical device alerts were issued by government regulatory agencies and national and international organisations, leading to post-marketing surveillance and discontinuation of these implants. Guidelines for MoM hip implant follow-up differ considerably between regulatory authorities worldwide; this can in part be attributed to missing or conflicting evidence. The authors consider that the use of large-head MoM THA should be discontinued. MoM HR should be approached with caution and, when considered, should be used only in patients who meet all of the recommended selection criteria, which limits its indications considerably. The phased introduction of new prostheses should be mandatory in future. Close monitoring of outcomes and long-term follow-up is also necessary for the introduction of new prostheses.

Published: October 2016

MODY (Maturity-Onset diabetes of the young) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by autosomal dominant type of inheritance and caused by genetic defects leading to dysfunction of pancreatic b-cells. Currently 13 candidate genes of MODY, and, respectively, 13 MODY subtypes are known. The final diagnosis can be established only on the basis of molecular genetic studies, which is the «gold standard» in the diagnosis of this disease. MODY2 and MODY3 are the most prevalent subtypes and were previously described in our country. Rare MODY subtypes have not been described in Russian literature. In this article we describe the first diagnosed case of MODY6 in Russia (a defect of the NEUROD1 gene, encoding neurogenic differentiation factor 1, which plays an important role in normal differentiation of β-cells of the pancreas and the regulation of transcription of the insulin gene). Molecular genetic study was conducted using the method of next-generation sequencing, has recently been widely used for genetic verification of monogenic diseases and, in particular, MODY. Technology of next-generation sequencing for diagnosing inherited disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in domestic practice used for the first time.
The development of thewürde+ infinitive construction in Early Modern German (1650–1800)
Authors: Durrell Martin , Whitt Richard J. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper presents a corpus-based analysis of the evolution of thewürde+ infinitive construction in German during the Early Modern period (1650–1800), using newly available data from the GerManC-corpus. We demonstrate how this construction occupies a unique position orthogonal to both the tense and mood systems of German through an analysis of the syntax and semantics ofwürde+ infinitive clauses, beginning with Modern Standard German and then subsequently with a historical focus on the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Through both quantitative and qualitative analyses, we examine the contexts in which the construction occurs and see how, as it came to be used more frequently over the period in question, it encroached more and more into contexts which had been the preserve of the synthetic preterite subjunctive, even being used in some where the latter is still the norm in modern German. Thus, by the end of the eighteenth century it had become difficult to identify a clear difference in meaning and use between these forms, and the reasons why thewürde+ infinitive construction may be preferred over the synthetic preterite subjunctive are by no means clear. We conclude our discussion with an overview of how thewürde+ infinitive construction was received in the prescriptive tradition during this key period in the standardization of German, seeing its stigmatization in some contexts in part as an attempt by prescriptive grammarians to establish an explicit and clearly justified role for it in the language.The authors must acknowledge their gratitude to Mikhail Kotin (Zielona Góra) and Szilvia Szatzker (Budapest) who kindly made unpublished material available to them, as well as to Christopher Young (Cambridge) for clarifying queries about some MHG texts, and to two anonymous reviewers for the PBB for their helpful suggestions.

Die (Un‑)Sichtbarkeit des Paratexts
Authors: Kragl Florian 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The article deals with the Genettian concept of ›paratext‹ with regard to medieval manuscripts. It aims at modifying Genette's idea (which basically relies on the book production of the ›long‹ 19th century) for the purpose of a better understanding of what constitutes a medieval paratext. The examples are drawn from the transmission of Konrads von Würzburg ›Herzmaere‹.
Tilt offset associated with local seismicity: the Mt. Etna January 9, 2001 seismic swarm.
Authors: Gambino Salvatore 
Published: October 2016

AbstractOn the 9thof January 2001 a seismic swarm on the southeastern flank of Mt. Etna at 3.5 km beside sea level (b.s.l.), caused co-seismic variations on short and long baseline tiltmeters of the Mt. Etna permanent tilt network.Taking account of the geometry and mechanism of the active tectonic structure obtained by seismological studies, the theoretical tilt linked to the faulting source was calculated at multiple different recording stations. It was found that the amount of measured deformation exceeded that which was generated seismically, indicating that much of the deformation along the fault was aseismic.The 9 January 2001 episode represents a shear response to a local stress caused by a volcanic source that acted in the period preceding the 2001 eruption. Tilt data also suggest a marked slip of 70-140 cm along the fault, probably due to the presence of fluids.

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe structural properties of molten CaO–SiO2–P2O5–FeO slag system with varying slag basicity have been investigated by molecular dynamic (MD) simulations using the pairwise potential model. The result shows that more than 95 % Si and 98 % P are four coordinated and form tetrahedral structures. Non-bridging oxygen occupies a predominant position in the system. With basicity increasing from 0.6 to 1.5, the proportion of non-bridging oxygen increases from 66.3 % to 77.3 %, whilst the bridging oxygen decreases from 30.1 % to 10.2 %. Both the result of MD simulations and Raman spectroscopic analysis show the proportion of Q0 increases with increasing slag basicity, whilst Q2 and Q3 decrease. The degree of polymerization of CaO–SiO2–P2O5–FeO system decreases with increasing slag basicity.
Numerical Study of MHD Viscoelastic Fluid Flow with Binary Chemical Reaction and Arrhenius Activation Energy
Authors: Mustafa M. , Mushtaq A. , Hayat T. , Alsaedi A. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Here we address the influence of heat/mass transfer on MHD axisymmetric viscoelastic fluid flow developed by an elastic sheet stretching linearly in the radial direction. Constitutive relations of Maxwell fluid model are utilized in mathematical formulation of the problem. Non-linear radiation heat flux is factored in the model which accounts for both small and large temperature differences. Chemical reaction effects with modified Arrhenius energy function are analyzed which are not yet explored for viscoelastic fluid flows. Highly accurate numerical computations are performed. Our computations show S-shaped profiles of temperature function in case of sufficiently large temperature differences. Species concentration increases when activation energy for chemical reaction is increased. However, both chemical reaction rate and temperature gradient tend to reduce the solute concentration.
Encyclopedic information and pragmatic interpretation
Authors: Bibok Károly 
Published: October 2016

AbstractConsidering the interaction between grammar and pragmatics, the present paper aims to thoroughly investigate the role played by encyclopedic information in the lexicon and in pragmatic construction of utterance meaning. With the help of a series of subtle analyses of Hungarian and Russian data, several types of encyclopedic information are identified both in encoded lexical-semantic representations of word senses and inferential mechanisms of utterance interpretation. It is demonstrated that representations and mechanisms are mutually connected to each other. More precisely, on the one hand, requirements on representations are raised by a considerable number of possible utterance meanings, and, on the other, special mechanisms are needed to construct them from lexical-semantic representations. It is the attempt to account for such mutual connections that forms a novel and promising conception of lexical pragmatics.

Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper successfully demonstrates bidirectional wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) system for 32 channels, 0.8 nm (100 GHz) channels spacing with 3.5 GHz filter bandwidth. The system delivers 160 GB/s data rate and 80 GB/s data rate in downstream and upstream, respectively. The optical source for downstream data and upstream data is mode-locked laser at central office and reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) at optical network unit. The maximum reach of designed system is 50 km without using any dispersion compensation scheme. This paper comprises comparison of series of modulation format in downstream and upstream such as SOLITON, NRZ, RZ, MANCHESTER, CSRZ and CRZ-DPSK and optimization of the performance of designed system. It has been observed that CRZ-DPSK/NRZ gives best performance in downstream and upstream transmission for designed system. The simulation work report of minimum BER is e
Primary hyperparathyroidism may masquerade as rickets-osteomalacia in vitamin D replete children

Published: October 2016

AbstractPrimary hyperparathyroidism, typically a disease of the middle aged and the old, is less commonly seen in children. In children the disease has a bimodal age distribution with calcium sensing receptor mutation presenting in infancy as hypercalcemic crises and parathyroid adenoma or hyperplasia presenting later in childhood with bone disease. The childhood parathyroid adenomas are often familial with multiglandular disease and manifest with severe bone disease unlike adults. We report a series of four male patients with juvenile primary hyperparathyroidism, three of whom presented with bone disease masquerading as rickets-osteomalacia. One patient had asymptomatic hypercalcemia with short stature. Parathyroid adenoma was detected in all the four cases and all of them underwent resection of parathyroid adenomas confirmed on histopathology. Post-surgery all the cases had initial hypocalcaemia followed by normocalcemia. One case developed pancreatitis after surgery even after achieving normocalcemia. We conclude that parathyroid adenomas, although uncommon in children, are an important cause of skeletal disease that may initially be confused with hypovitaminosis D.
Hommage mit doppeltem Boden
Authors: Weisman Anat 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe article focuses on the memoir written by Lea Goldberg on the poet Avraham Ben Yitzhak (Pegisha im Meshorer, 1952). It presents the results of a phenomenological reading of the memoir. The author maintains that by paying attention to the intention of the text as well as to its cultural, intellectual and emotional dichotomies, one reveals the resolution at the end of the memoir of an inner conflict implicit throughout the entire text. This reading results in a re-definition of the appropriate genre attribution for this work (which we may call polemical memoir) and yields a new key to understanding the artistic and intellectual conflicts that characterize a wide range of poetic phenomena in Goldberg’s poetry.
A Poetics of Statelessness: Avraham Ben Yitzhak after World War I
Authors: Barzilai Maya 
Published: October 2016

AbstractAfter World War I, Avraham Ben Yitzhak had all but ceased to publish the modernist Hebrew poetry for which he is famous. He continued, however, to compose literary drafts in German, Hebrew, and Yiddish well into the mid-1920s. This essay interprets a selection of these unpublished writings in the context of his criticism of wartime technology and nationalist fervor. Ben Yitzhak’s early poetics of dissolution and decadence underwent further radicalization in the post-war years; experimenting anew with expressionist and cinematic styles, he cast apocalyptic images of a dying world abandoned by God and characterized above all by the mass statelessness of its denizens.
The German Archive of the Hebrew Habima: Bureaucracy and Identity
Authors: Zer-Zion Shelly , Kühne Jan 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe administrative archive of Habima, nowadays Israel’s national theater, resides at the Israeli center for the documentation of the performing arts at Tel Aviv University. The majority of the documents, which date from the 1920s and early 1930s, were written in German, and involve prominent German Jewish businessmen and intellectuals. This archival corpus is surprising, because the profile of Habima is generally associated with the Eastern European- Soviet theatrical heritage and with the revival of Hebrew. This article seeks to present the nature of this collection and to reevaluate its contribution to the study of German Jewry as well as to the history of Hebrew theatre.
“Much More than just another Private Collection”: The Schocken Library and its Rescue from Nazi Germany in 1935
Authors: Mahrer Stefanie 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis article reconstructs for the first time the rescue of the Schocken Library, one of the largest privately owned book collections, from Nazi Germany. The library consisted of over 60,000 volumes of rare and precious ­Hebrew and German books, manuscripts, and incunabula. The books were shipped from Germany to Mandate Palestine in the years 1934–1937 and the library is one of the few collections that completely survived National Socialist destruction and looting. The case of the Schocken library can help us understand all of the many challenges involved in successfully relocating a library of its size. Without a network of professionals, experience dealing with authorities and unlimited funds, an operation like the shipment of the Schocken library would not have been possible. The second part of the paper focuses on how, once the library was in Jerusalem, the way in which it was perceived changed. From the contemporary perspective of the owner, the merchant and publisher Salman Schocken, and from the perspective of its users and visitors, the library was perceived as a place of continuity in exile rather than as a place of saved books. The micro-historical perspective not only allows us to understand how historical subjects interpret the world around them but also how they try to influence historical processes.

From Breslau to Wrocław: Transfer of the Saraval Collection to Poland and the Restitution of Jewish Cultural Property after WWII
Authors: Kawałko Anna 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis article presents a post war history of the looted library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau. Particular focus is given to the restitution of the most valuable part of this library – the collection of manuscripts and incunabula, which was purchased by the Breslau Seminary from the famous Italian bibliophile, Leon Vita Saraval of Trieste. The Saraval Collection, along with numerous Jewish libraries and archives all over Europe, fell prey to the unprecedented Nazi plunder of 1933–1945. The collection was then rediscovered in Prague in the 1990s, and finally transferred from the National Library of the Czech Republic to Poland in 2004. This article describes the collection’s singular journey from German Breslau to Polish Wrocław in the context of the distribution of other parts of the Breslau library during the immediate postwar period. In juxtaposing these two restitution cases, I seek to examine the main arguments and controversies in the debate regarding the status of the Jewish cultural heritage in Europe after 1945, as well as to illuminate its historical development.
The Exile of Metaphysics: Adorno and the Language of Political Experience
Authors: Angermann Asaf 
Published: October 2016

AbstractHow do our personal and political experiences shape the way we perceive and conceptualize the world? How does the impact of political events on our personal lives relate to the “ultimate” metaphysical questions? For Theodor W. Adorno, these questions are profoundly interconnected, albeit in a complex way. Although Adorno himself spent “only” eleven years of his life in exile, those years irreversibly shaped his philosophical thinking. Exile and migration – political life experiences shared by millions in the twentieth century – are for Adorno far more than objective historical conditions; they have far-reaching linguistic, epistemological and metaphysical implications. The possibility and impossibility of expressing oneself coherently in another language, the necessity of understanding and integrating into a new culture, the emotional and geographical distance from one’s place of origin and socialization: for Adorno, these issues lie at the core of philosophical thinking in the twentieth century. This paper discusses Adorno’s personal views on his own political experience of exile from and return to his native German culture, as well as the conclusions he draws for an understanding of metaphysics in times of exile and migration.
