Authors: Басовский  , Basovskiy Leonid , Басовская  , Basovskaya Elena 
Published: April 2016

The purpose of this study was to obtain estimates of the economic dissemination
of new technological structures in the Russian economy. Construction
of econometric models of the contribution of technological structures in the
shower US GDP allowed establishing their productivity. On this basis, we obtained
estimates of the contribution of new — the fifth and sixth technological structures
in the per capita GDP of Russia. It was found that in today’s Russia is not less
than 40–45% of the national production is ensured by the new — the fifth and
sixth technological structures. These economic assessments of the spread of new
technological structures in modern Russian economy allow improving economic
policies aimed at developing the country’s economy.
Population Ageing in Russia: Main Factors, Characteristics and Consequences
Authors: Дудко  , Dudko K. , Щербаков  , Shcherbakov A. 
Published: April 2016

The article considers the main identifying features of the global demographic
trend — population ageing. The mortality and fertility rates, the correlation
between young and elderly people, migration and wars are the key factors which
influence demographic ageing process. The Great Patriotic War and the socioeconomic
reforms of 90th years have had the most significant impact on the
demographic situation in Russia. Today, Russian pension system cannot
overcome the consequences of rapid population ageing. The pension system
continues to improve for increasing the financial efficiency and reducing of the
tax burden on the economically active population. For above mentioned reasons
the next step of innovative pension reform relates with the increase of the
women’s retirement age.
VAR As a Tool to Assess the Market Risk of Trading Positions of a Commercial Bank
Authors: Попова  , Popova Anna 
Published: April 2016

Forecasting of any risk is the crucial activity for any commercial bank. In current
situation market risk is an important element needed to be analyzed. The
probability of this type of risk may be affected by the change in the market value
of financial instruments and by the volatility of foreign exchange rates. Nowadays
in Russia each organization should conduct proper risk-management and be able
to predict possible losses. The article presents the assessment of the market risk
by the example of the price of the common share of the Bank of Moscow.
Forecasting is implemented by three models: ARIMA, Value-at-Risk and VAR.
Scientific novelty of this article is in comparison of the prediction procedures
of above mentioned methods. The result obtained during the analysis shows,
that the model Value-at-Risk is efficient for a short period of forecasting and
should be combined with others models in order to get more accurate results.
Chronic Type A Aortic Dissection
Authors: Hynes Conor , Greenberg Michael , Sarin Shawn , Trachiotis Gregory 
Published: April 2016

AbstractStanford Type A aortic dissection is a rapidly progressing disease process that is often fatal without emergent surgical repair. A small proportion of Type A dissections go undiagnosed in the acute phase and are found upon delayed presentation of symptoms or incidentally. These chronic lesions may have a distinct natural history that may have a better prognosis and could potentially be managed differently then those presenting acutely. The method of repair depends on location and extent of the false lumen, as well as involvement of critical structures and branch arteries. Surgical repair techniques similar to those employed for acute dissection management are currently first-line therapy for chronic cases that involve the aortic valve, sinuses of Valsalva, coronary arteries, and supra-aortic branch arteries. In patients with high-risk for surgery, endovascular repairs have been successful, and active development of delivery systems and grafts will continue to enhance outcomes. We present two cases of chronic Type A aortic dissection and review the current literature.

Published: April 2016

AbstractThoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is recognized as an attractive option to treat complicated Type B aortic dissection. Nevertheless, TEVAR is not always technically possible. We report the case of a 53-year-old male with complicated Type B aortic dissection, in the setting of a complex anomalous aortic arch anatomy with an aneurysmal aberrant right subclavian artery. He was successfully treated by the frozen elephant trunk technique using the Thoraflex hybrid graft.
Computed Tomography Imaging Artifact Simulating Type A Aortic Dissection
Authors: Chou Alan , Ziganshin Bulat , Elefteriades John 
Published: April 2016

AbstractContrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is an effective tool for assessment of thoracic aortic disease in the modern era. Here, we describe a case of Type A aortic dissection incidentally detected by CT in a 63-year old man. Upon more precise imaging with electrocardiography (ECG)-gated CT, the dissection vanished, revealing it to be an aortic motion artifact. This report highlights the importance of motion artifacts mimicking a dissection flap. CT imaging gated with ECG can distinguish a dissection flap from an artifact.

Published: April 2016

Objectives During open orthopaedic surgery, joints may be exposed to air, potentially leading to cartilage drying and chondrocyte death, however, the long-term effects of joint drying in vivo are poorly understood. We used an animal model to investigate the subsequent effects of joint drying on cartilage and chondrocytes. Methods The patellar groove of anaesthetised rats was exposed (sham-operated), or exposed and then subjected to laminar airflow (0.25m/s; 60 minutes) before wounds were sutured and animals recovered. Animals were monitored for up to eight weeks and then sacrificed. Cartilage and chondrocyte properties were studied by histology and confocal microscopy, respectively. Results Joint drying caused extensive chondrocyte death within the superficial regions of cartilage. Histology of dried cartilage demonstrated a loss of surface integrity at four weeks, fibrillations at eight weeks, and an increased modified Mankin score (p < 0.001). Cartilage thickness increased (p < 0.001), whereas chondrocyte density decreased at four weeks (p < 0.001), but then increased towards sham-operated levels (p < 0.01) at eight weeks. By week eight, chondrocyte pairing/clustering and cell volume increased (p < 0.05; p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions These in vivo results demonstrated for the first time that as a result of laminar airflow, cartilage degeneration occurred which has characteristics similar to those seen in early osteoarthritis. Maintenance of adequate cartilage hydration during open orthopaedic surgery is therefore of paramount importance. Cite this article: Dr A. Hall.

Intra-union women’s organizations an evaluation for Türk-İş and Hak-İş confederations<p>Sendika içi kadın örgütlenmeleri Türk-İş ve Hak-İş için bir değerlendirme
Authors: Topgül Seda 
Published: April 2016

The main objective of this study is to investigate the approach to women’s issues and recent efforts of unions to include women in unions in the light of interviews conducted with Turk-İs and Hak-İs Confederations. The study reveals how women are considered in unions and the place given to women in unions’ policies. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with six women in unions under these two confederations after a literature review. According to the results of the study, the number of women at both membership and executive levels is low in unions under both confederations. There are differences between the ideas of male and female unionists at senior level. Thus, efforts to increase the participation of women in unions are not sufficient. ÖzetBu araştırmanın temel amacı Türk-İş ve Hak-İş Konfederasyonlarında mülakatlar ışığında kadın sorununa nasıl yaklaşıldığının ve son dönemlerde sendikaların kadınları sendikaya dâhil etmek için ne tür farklı çalışmalar yaptığının araştırılmasıdır. Kadınların sendikalarda nasıl değerlendirildikleri ve sendikaların politikalarında kadına verdikleri yer açığa çıkarılmaktadır. Bu amaçla literatür taraması sonrası iki konfederasyona bağlı sendikalardaki altı kadın ile görüşme yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucuna göre, her iki konfederasyona bağlı sendikalarda hem üyelik hem de yönetim kademelerindeki kadın sayısı azdır. Üst pozisyondaki erkekler ile kadın sendikacıların düşünceleri arasında farklılıklar bulunmaktadır. Bu yüzden sendikalarda kadınların katılımının arttırılması yönündeki çabalar yeterli olmamaktadır.
Immunoproteomics technologies in the discovery of autoantigens in autoimmune diseases
Authors: Ganesan Vinitha , Ascherman Dana P. , Minden Jonathan S. 
Published: April 2016

AbstractProteomics technologies are often used for the identification of protein targets of the immune system. Here, we discuss the immunoproteomics technologies used for the discovery of autoantigens in autoimmune diseases where immune system dysregulation plays a central role in disease onset and progression. These autoantigens and associated autoantibodies can be used as potential biomarkers for disease diagnostics, prognostics and predicting/monitoring drug responsiveness (theranostics). Here, we compare a variety of methods such as mass spectrometry (MS)-based [serological proteome analysis (SERPA), antibody mediated identification of antigens (AMIDA), circulating immune complexome (CIC) analysis, surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (SELDI-TOF)], nucleic acid based serological analysis of antigens by recombinant cDNA expression cloning (SEREX), phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP-seq) and array-based immunoscreening (proteomic microarrays), luciferase immunoprecipitation systems (LIPS), nucleic acid programmable protein array (NAPPA) methods. We also review the relevance of immunoproteomic data generated in the last 10 years, with a focus on the aforementioned MS based methods.

Published: April 2016

AbstractIn the present manuscript, free vibration response of circular cylindrical shells with functionally graded material (FGM) is investigated. The method of discrete singular convolution (DSC) is used for numerical solution of the related governing equation of motion of FGM cylindrical shell. The constitutive relations are based on the Love’s first approximation shell theory. The material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power law indexes. Frequency values are calculated for different types of boundary conditions, material and geometric parameters. In general, close agreement between the obtained results and those of other researchers has been found.
Time modelling in digital humanities. Challenges posed by the development of a database of medieval charters
Authors: De Tré Guy , Deploige Jeroen 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Information management systems aimed at fully exploiting imperfect temporal data require
advanced data modelling and data querying facilities. In this paper, we study how novel
computational intelligence techniques can help to develop such facilities. More
specifically, we describe how possibility theory can be used to model and handle the
uncertainty that is inherent to vague, linguistic time specifications in a mathematically
sound way. These mathematical time representations can then be stored in a database and
advanced query evaluation techniques, for adequately coping with the represented
uncertainty, can be used. Medieval charters are a typical example of documents on which
related temporal information is often imperfect. To show the applicability of our
technology, we illustrate how the development of the Diplomata Belgica database, a database
describing medieval charters, can benefit from this novel technology. The added-value of the
technology for future research in the humanities, in our case medieval history, is
demonstrated by means of several illustrative query examples.

Abstract
Limbic encephalitis is a rare neurological disorder that may be difficult to recognize. Clinical features include memory impairment, temporal lobe seizures and affective disturbance. We report the case of a 10-year-old girl with type 1 diabetes mellitus that presented with seizures, depressed mood and memory changes. The diagnosis of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) mediated limbic encephalitis relied on cerebral magnetic resonance imaging lesions and high serological and cerebrospinal fluid GAD65-antibodies titers. High-dose steroidal therapy was started with clinical improvement. Relapse led to a second high-dose steroid treatment followed by rituximab with remission. A correlation between serum GAD65-antibodies levels and symptoms was found, demonstrating GAD65-antibodies titers may be useful for clinical follow-up and immunotherapy guidance. This report raises awareness of this serious neurological condition that may be associated with type 1 diabetes, underlining the importance of an early diagnosis and prompt treatment for a better prognosis.
Is Transreligious Theology Unavoidable
in Interreligious Theology and Dialogue?
Authors: Gustafson Hans 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
This article investigates whether transreligious theology is unavoidable in the doing of
interreligious theology and dialogue. In so doing, it opens with three examples that point the way to
transreligious theology (Wilfred Cantwell Smith, Keith Ward, and Francis Clooney). Various prefixes are then
defined and distinguished from one another as they are often applied to the term “religious” (uni-, intra-,
multi-, cross-, inter-, and trans-). These prefixes are then applied to the terms “dialogue” (transreligious
dialogue) and “theology” (transreligious theology). In particular, transreligious theology is set apart by a)
taking seriously the fluid and porous borders of religion and religious identities, and b) its requirement of
generating something novel beyond the already established religious traditions. The question is then asked
whether transreligious theology is unavoidable in the context of interreligious theology dialogue, given
the vast complexity of religious identities. The article culminates by addressing two lingering challenges
to transreligious theology, the perceived specter of creeping syncretism and the possibility of “frustration
overload” due to the overwhelming complexity of religions and religious identities.
El delito político en Colombia frente al Derecho Internacional Humanitario
Authors: Rincón Bustos & Peñas Felizzola Kateryn & Aura 
Published: April 2016

<p>En la Constitución Política colombiana de 1991, el delito político recibe un tratamiento diferencial, preferente, respecto de los delitos comunes, ya que pueden ser indultados o amnistiados por el Presidente; respecto de ellos no procede la extradición y no generan inhabilidades para el ejercicio de cargos públicos. Por ello, en Colombia se debate actualmente, en el contexto de los diálogos de paz, sobre qué delitos pueden considerarse conexos a los delitos políticos. Algunos actores de la política colombiana han interpretado que Colombia no puede aplicar medidas de justicia transicional para conductas punibles como el homicidio contra persona protegida, y atentados a los bienes protegidos por el DIH, pues se estarían incumpliendo obligaciones internacionales derivadas del Estatuto de Roma. Otros sectores de la opinión, por el contrario, han defendido la posibilidad de una amnistía por delitos cometidos en el contexto del conflicto armado, incluidos los atentados a personas y bienes protegidos por el DIH, siempre que no tengan el carácter de sistemáticos, o que no se trate de los máximos responsables. En Colombia no existe un concepto legal o constitucional del delito político pero sí normas y decisiones<br />judiciales que excluyen de esta categoría ciertas conductas. Al final del artículo, se plantean alternativas que aportan a la superación de uno de los obstáculos jurídicos al proceso de paz.</p><p> </p>
Marcos interpretativos de políticas públicas. El enfoque preventivo de la seguridad en el discurso político de candidatos a presidentes municipales de Guadalajara y Zapopan, Jalisco, México, en las elecciones de 2015
Authors: Amaya Trujillo Janny , Portilla Tinajero Radamanto 
Published: April 2016

En este trabajo analizamos los marcos interpretativos desde los que se construyó el tema de la seguridad en el discurso político de los candidatos a las presidencias municipales de Zapopan y Guadalajara, durante las elecciones locales de 2015 en Jalisco-México. Asumimos como perspectiva heurística la teoría del framing. A partir de ella analizamos los supuestos desde los que se construye la seguridad como asunto de política pública. El resultado del análisis muestra el predominio del enfoque preventivo de la seguridad, en torno al que se estructuran siete marcos específicos: desigualdad, co-responsabilidad, criminalización de los jóvenes, corrupción e incapacidad policial, ocupación del espacio público, hipervigilancia y desvinculación.

Published: April 2016

Objective Interferon Regulatory Factor 6 (IRF6) is critical for craniofacial development, epidermal differentiation, and tissue repair. IRF6 mutations cause Van der Woude Syndrome (VWS) and Popliteal Pterygium Syndrome. Individuals with VWS exhibit craniofacial anomalies, including cleft lip and palate and lip pits. Furthermore, they have an increased risk for wound-healing complications following surgical repair when compared with patients with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP). However, nothing is known about the skin of these patients. The objective was to characterize the skin of patients with VWS. We hypothesize that IRF6 is required for proper skin homeostasis in humans. Design Discarded tissue from a hip was collected during surgical alveolar bone graft. Samples from children with VWS harboring IRF6 mutations ( n = 2) were compared with samples from children with NSCLP ( n = 7). Histology was assessed following hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expressions of Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen, IRF6, P63, and Keratin 10 were determined by immunofluorescence. Keratinocytes were isolated and their proliferation potential was assessed by colony-forming efficiency assay. Results Hip skin from children with VWS showed a thicker epidermis when compared with that from children with NSCLP. Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen staining revealed an increase in proliferation in syndromic tissues when compared with controls. However, P63 and Keratin 10 expression were similar between groups. Finally, keratinocytes from VWS showed increased long-term proliferation when compared with NSCLP. Conclusions These results support, in vivo and in vitro, a previously described role for IRF6 in epidermal proliferation in humans. They further demonstrate a critical function for IRF6 in cutaneous homeostasis.
The Historical and Artistic Aspects of the Latvian School Youth Dance Festival
Authors: Spalva Rita 
Published: April 2016

<p>As the idea of the national significance of the festival in the life of each inhabitant of Latvia developed, starting from 1960 the School Youth Song and Dance Festival became an independent movement. The School Youth Song and Dance Festival is included into the UNESCO celebration and event calendar, by marking its 50th anniversary and recognizing the role of this tradition in preserving and inheriting the general Baltic song and dance tradition. Therefore the Latvian School Youth Song and Dance Festival has become a significant culturally historical event of a global scale. The article analyzes the preconditions for development of such a dance festival, by emphasizing the contribution of the 10th School Youth Dance Festival (2011) to the development of this tradition. Yet the key benefit lies in the fact that the Dance Festival ensures the inheritence of the tradition in all generations, it enhances the interest of the society in traditional culture and, in the globalized times, maintains the national peculiarities of a small nation.</p>

Nannochloropsis oculata D. microalgae growth in a treated effluent from superintensive shrimp cultivation
Authors: Galindro Bruno Menezes , Lopes Rafael Garcia , Derner Roberto Bianchini , Soares Sebastião Roberto 
Published: April 2016

The use of microalgae biomass in order to obtain lipids is an important alternative to be studied and it has great potential to be applied in order to produce food and biofuel, for instance. However, there are some processes of its production which need further study, such as the cultivation inputs. A possibility for an alternative raw material is the effluent from superintensive shrimp cultivation with bioflocs (BF). Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity and nutrient removal rate of Nannochloropsis oculata cultivation in three systems: (i) f/2 - produced integrally with chemical fertilizers, (ii) BF - using of 100% of the effluent for superintensive shrimp cultivation with bioflocs and (iii) 50/50 – using 50% of shrimp cultivation effluents and 50% from f/2 system. The microalgae presented greater biomass growth and productitvity in BF system but less lipids and esters accumulation. Concerning nutrient removal, f/2 system showed better performance, which may indicate that the cultivation in BF systems takes longer to reach the stationary growth phase.
