The aim of this research is to study the relationship between the body mass index and life quality of ninth grade students after controlling their self esteem values. In the research Self-Esteem Scale was used to determine the points for self-esteem and Kiddo-Kindl-Adolescent Form was used for the perceptions of life quality. The students in the study group consists of 327 (45.3%) girls and 395 (54.7%) boys, It consists of a total of 722 students, and the average age is 15.2. When analyzed in terms of body mass index it was found out that of the students 16.8% are low weight, 70.9% are moderate and 12.3% are owerweight. When the results obtained by the research was examined it was observed that there are meaningful relationships between body mass index (BMI) values and self-esteem and life quality and between self-esteem and life quality. However, when the self-esteem values of the adolescent individuals were excluded within the scope of the research, the relationship between BMI and life quality points which previously show meaningful level positive relationship is almost non-existent. According to these findings the life quality of the adolescent obese may be low only if his/her self-esteem is low. The findings which obtained with this research were argued within the frames of existing research findings. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, dokuzuncu sınıf öğrencilerinin benlik saygıları kontrol altına alındıktan sonra beden kitle indeksi ve yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmada benlik saygısı puanlarını belirlemek için Kendine Saygı Ölçeği, yaşam kalitesi algıları için Kiddo-Kindl-Ergen Formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubunda bulunan öğrencilerin 327'si (%45.3) kız ve 395'i (%54.7) erkek, toplam 722 öğrenciden oluşmuştur ve yaş ortalaması 15.2'dir. Beden kitle indeksleri bakımından incelendiğinde öğrencilerin %16,8'inin düşük kilolu, % 70.9’ unun orta ve %12.3' ünün obez olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular incelendiğinde, öğrencilerin Beden Kitle İndeksi (BKİ) değerleri ile benlik saygısı ve yaşam kalitesi arasında ve benlik saygısı ile yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak, araştırma kapsamında ergen bireylerin benlik saygısı değerleri dışta tutulduğunda, daha önce anlamlı düzeyde olumlu ilişki gösteren BKİ ve yaşam kalitesi puanları arasındaki ilişki neredeyse ortadan kalkmaktadır. Elde edilen bu bulguya göre ergen obez, ancak eğer benlik saygısı düşükse, yaşam kalitesinin de düşük olabileceğini göstermektedir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgular var olan araştırma bulguları çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.

Abstract
The article deals with two wells in the country of Brno-district (Brčálka well and Well Olšová). The aim of work was monitoring of elementary parameters of water at regular monthly intervals to measure: water temperature, pH values, solubility oxygen and spring yield. According to the client's requirements (Lesy města Brno) laboratory analyzes of selected parameters were done twice a year and their results were compared with Ministry of Health Decree no. 252/2004 Coll.. These parameters: nitrate, chemical oxygen demand (COD), calcium and magnesium and its values are presented in graphs, for ammonium ions and nitrite in the table. Graphical interpretation of spring yields dependence on the monthly total rainfall and dependence of water temperature on ambient temperature was utilized. The most important features of wells include a water source, a landmark in the landscape, aesthetic element or resting and relaxing place. Maintaining wells is important in terms of future generations.
UBR-5, a Conserved HECT-Type E3 Ubiquitin Ligase, Negatively Regulates Notch-Type Signaling inCaenorhabditis elegans

AbstractNotch-type signaling mediates cell−cell interactions important for animal development. In humans, reduced or inappropriate Notch signaling activity is associated with various developmental defects and disease states, including cancers. Caenorhabditis elegans expresses two Notch-type receptors, GLP-1 and LIN-12. GLP-1 mediates several cell-signaling events in the embryo and promotes germline proliferation in the developing and adult gonad. LIN-12 acts redundantly with GLP-1 in certain inductive events in the embryo and mediates several cell−cell interactions during larval development. Recovery of genetic suppressors and enhancers of glp-1 or lin-12 loss- or gain-of-function mutations has identified numerous regulators of GLP-1 and LIN-12 signaling activity. Here, we report the molecular identification of sog-1, a gene identified in screens for recessive suppressors of conditional glp-1 loss-of-function mutations. The sog-1 gene encodes UBR-5, the sole C. elegans member of the UBR5/Hyd family of HECT-type E3 ubiquitin ligases. Molecular and genetic analyses indicate that the loss of ubr-5 function suppresses defects caused by reduced signaling via GLP-1 or LIN-12. In contrast, ubr-5 mutations do not suppress embryonic or larval lethality associated with mutations in a downstream transcription factor, LAG-1. In the gonad, ubr-5 acts in the receiving cells (germ cells) to limit GLP-1 signaling activity. SEL-10 is the F-box component of SCFSEL-10 E3 ubiquitin–ligase complex that promotes turnover of Notch intracellular domain. UBR-5 acts redundantly with SEL-10 to limit Notch signaling in certain tissues. We hypothesize that UBR-5 activity limits Notch-type signaling by promoting turnover of receptor or limiting its interaction with pathway components.
Exhaustive Genome-Wide Search for SNP-SNP Interactions Across 10 Human Diseases
Authors: Murk William , DeWan Andrew T 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The identification of statistical SNP-SNP interactions may help explain the genetic etiology of many human diseases, but exhaustive genome-wide searches for these interactions have been difficult, due to a lack of power in most datasets. We aimed to use data from the Resource for Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging (GERA) study to search for SNP-SNP interactions associated with 10 common diseases. FastEpistasis and BOOST were used to evaluate all pairwise interactions among approximately N = 300,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥ 0.15, for the dichotomous outcomes of allergic rhinitis, asthma, cardiac disease, depression, dermatophytosis, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hemorrhoids, hypertensive disease, and osteoarthritis. A total of N = 45,171 subjects were included after quality control steps were applied. These data were divided into discovery and replication subsets; the discovery subset had &gt; 80% power, under selected models, to detect genome-wide significant interactions (P &lt; 10−12). Interactions were also evaluated for enrichment in particular SNP features, including functionality, prior disease relevancy, and marginal effects. No interaction in any disease was significant in both the discovery and replication subsets. Enrichment analysis suggested that, for some outcomes, interactions involving SNPs with marginal effects were more likely to be nominally replicated, compared to interactions without marginal effects. If SNP-SNP interactions play a role in the etiology of the studied conditions, they likely have weak effect sizes, involve lower-frequency variants, and/or involve complex models of interaction that are not captured well by the methods that were utilized.
Sensitivity of Allelic Divergence to Genomic Position: Lessons from theDrosophila tanGene

Published: August 2016

AbstractTo identify genetic variants underlying changes in phenotypes within and between species, researchers often utilize transgenic animals to compare the function of alleles in different genetic backgrounds. In Drosophila, targeted integration mediated by the ΦC31 integrase allows activity of alternative alleles to be compared at the same genomic location. By using the same insertion site for each transgene, position effects are generally assumed to be controlled for because both alleles are surrounded by the same genomic context. Here, we test this assumption by comparing the activity of tan alleles from two Drosophila species, D. americana and D. novamexicana, at five different genomic locations in D. melanogaster. We found that the relative effects of these alleles varied among insertion sites, with no difference in activity observed between them at two sites. One of these sites simply silenced both transgenes, but the other allowed expression of both alleles that was sufficient to rescue a mutant phenotype yet failed to reveal the functional differences between the two alleles. These results suggest that more than one insertion site should be used when comparing the activity of transgenes because failing to do so could cause functional differences between alleles to go undetected.

Published: August 2016

Abstract
In livestock, current statistical approaches utilize extensive molecular data, e.g., single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), to improve the genetic evaluation of individuals. The number of model parameters increases with the number of SNPs, so the multicollinearity between covariates can affect the results obtained using whole genome regression methods. In this study, dependencies between SNPs due to linkage and linkage disequilibrium among the chromosome segments were explicitly considered in methods used to estimate the effects of SNPs. The population structure affects the extent of such dependencies, so the covariance among SNP genotypes was derived for half-sib families, which are typical in livestock populations. Conditional on the SNP haplotypes of the common parent (sire), the theoretical covariance was determined using the haplotype frequencies of the population from which the individual parent (dam) was derived. The resulting covariance matrix was included in a statistical model for a trait of interest, and this covariance matrix was then used to specify prior assumptions for SNP effects in a Bayesian framework. The approach was applied to one family in simulated scenarios (few and many quantitative trait loci) and using semireal data obtained from dairy cattle to identify genome segments that affect performance traits, as well as to investigate the impact on predictive ability. Compared with a method that does not explicitly consider any of the relationship among predictor variables, the accuracy of genetic value prediction was improved by 10–22%. The results show that the inclusion of dependence is particularly important for genomic inference based on small sample sizes.
Plethysmography Phenotype QTL in Mice Before and After Allergen Sensitization and Challenge
Authors: Kelada Samir N P 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Allergic asthma is common airway disease that is characterized in part by enhanced airway constriction in response to nonspecific stimuli. Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple loci associated with asthma risk in humans, but these studies have not accounted for gene–environment interactions, which are thought to be important factors in asthma. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) that regulate responses to a common human allergen, we applied a house dust mite mouse (HDM) model of allergic airway disease (AAD) to 146 incipient lines of the Collaborative Cross (CC) and the CC founder strains. We employed a longitudinal study design in which mice were phenotyped for response to the bronchoconstrictor methacholine both before and after HDM sensitization and challenge using whole body plethysmography (WBP). There was significant variation in methacholine responsiveness due to both strain and HDM treatment, as reflected by changes in the WBP parameter enhanced pause. We also found that distinct QTL regulate baseline [chromosome (Chr) 18] and post-HDM (Chr 19) methacholine responsiveness and that post-HDM airway responsiveness was correlated with other features of AAD. Finally, using invasive measurements of airway mechanics, we tested whether the Chr 19 QTL affects lung resistance per se using C57BL/6J mice and a consomic strain but found that QTL haplotype did not affect lung resistance. We conclude that aspects of baseline and allergen-induced methacholine responsiveness are associated with genetic variation, and that robust detection of airway resistance QTL in genetically diverse mice will be facilitated by direct measurement of airway mechanics.

This issue covers a lot of ground. We explain how so-called multi-tier dispute resolution works in practice and what to look out for when asserting factually that a particular step has been exhausted. This is a complicated and emotive area and it pays to really understand how such clauses work. An equally important and controversial area is that relating to concurrent delay and so we report on a recent English High Court case that reinforces further the legal position under English Law – for the lazy reader – engineers should award a full extension of time if there is actual concurrent delay (unless the contract expressly states otherwise). Adjudication continues to concern us all – we take a look at whether an adjudicator is entitled to payment of his fees in circumstances where he is found to have issued an unenforceable decision, and what happens when an adjudicator decides things based on his own ‘expertise’. In the latter scenario, the court has issued tangible guidance that makes it clear that ‘frolics’ of an adjudicator will not be acceptable. We are delighted that the Construction Law Quarterly attracts a number of contributors and we are especially pleased to bring readers’ attention to two different but very important topics. Firstly, we have an excellent paper from Mr Sadique dealing with liquidated damages in the Middle East – readers will be aware that delay damages are not always enforceable and this article shows the sorts of problems that one can face when working in the United Arab Emirates. Finally, we conclude with a short piece looking at the socalled issue of ‘Hot Tubbing’. A number of readers sit as experts and will be interested to understand the relative positives and negatives. As ever, we value your feedback and so please do get in touch. Meanwhile, I do hope that you find this issue informative, thought-provoking and essential.
The Challenges for Us Psychologized Moderns
Authors: Morawski Jill G. 
Published: August 2016

In a reparative history Dana Simmons boldly faces self feelings of imposture and guilt and engages them to consider how science studies can move beyond critical appraisals to undertake the greater, more important task of reassembling the self and studies of the self. For readers who are aware of their psychologized self-conceptions, her history promises opportunities for re-appraisal and re-assemblage. This commentary appreciates Simmons’ illumination of the race, class, and gender constituents of the psychologies of achievement which, among their products, have yielded the very idea of Impostor Syndrome. Further development of the kind of reparative histories advocated by Simmons demands attention to the enormity of our psychologized modernity and the complexities of reflexive psychology.

Published: August 2016

Negara Indonesia memiliki peluang yang sangat besar untuk merealisasikan potensi pitalebar, mengingat Indonesia memiliki jumlah penduduk 253 juta orang dan pengguna internet 88,1 juta orang pada tahun 2014. Di sisi lain sektor komunikasi (salah satunya termasuk telekomunikasi) merupakan satu-satunya sektor yang secara konsisten memberikan kontribusi pertumbuhan terhadap Pendapatan Domestik Bruto (PDB) sebesar dua angka (double digit). Kemudian peran penting pemerintah adalah selalu mengantisipasi dalam membuat regulasi telekomunikasi, salah satu nya untuk mempercepat penggelaran prasarana pitalebar, seperti menerbitkan Peraturan Presiden RI. Nomor 96 Tahun 2014 tentang Rencana Pitalebar Indonesia 2014 – 2019. Secara riil pembangunan jaringan pitalebar di Indonesia masih dilakukan di kota-kota besar, mengingat pengguna telekomunikasi sebagian besar berada di kota-kota besar. Selain itu perangkat hanset atau handphone, ketersediaan di pasaran masih terbatas dan harganya masih mahal. Kajian ini menggunakan metodologi penelitian kuantitatif dengan menghitung peramalan dan kualitatif, dengan melakukan observasi atau pengamatan langsung ke lapangan kepada perusahaan Telkom, Telkomsel, XL Axiata dan Indosat. Selanjutnya hasil penelitian ini diperoleh lima faktor yang mempengaruhi penggunaan pitalebar yaitu jumlah penduduk, produk domestik bruto, pendapatan per kapita, laju pertumbuhan ekonomi dan inflasi, dan laju penetrasi. Selain itu, hasil pitalebar menunjukkan pengguna pitalebar lima tahun kedepan selalu meningkat.*****Indonesia has a tremendous opportunity to implement the potential of broadband, as Indonesia has a population of 253 million people and 88.1 million Internet users in 2014. On the other hand, the communication sector (one of them including telecommunications) is the only sector that is consistently contributed to the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as many as two numbers (double-digit). Then the important role of government is always anticipating in arranging telecommunications regulation, one of them is accelerating the deployment of broadband infrastructure, such as issuing Presidential Regulation Number 96 Year 2014 on Indonesian Broadband Plan 2014 - 2019. In fact, the development of broadband network in Indonesia is still carried out in major cities, considering the telecommunications users are mostly located in large cities. In addition, handset devices or mobile phones, the availability on the market is still limited and the price is still expensive. This study uses a quantitative research methodology to calculate forecasting and qualitatively, by means of observation or direct observation to the field to the company Telkom, Telkomsel, XL Axiata and Indosat. The results of this study showed five factors that influence the use of broadband i.e population, gross domestic product, per capita income, economic growth and inflation, and the rate of broadband penetration. Beside that, the results show that for the next five years, broadband users is increasing.

The paper is devoted conducting the screening inspections in educational establishments of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. Conducting special psychophysiological researches in such educational institutions is the most effective method of preventing the criminal-executive system from admitting the students with mercenary motivation, promt to addictive forms of behavior as early as at the stage of professional selection. The paper considers the «risk factors» that could hinder future penitentiary system staff’s successful execution of their official duties defame their honour and dignity.The paper analyzes the results of the screening researches of the applicants of Kuzbass Institute of the FPS of Russia, which allowed implementing organizational and competence questions. 15 % of the entrants manifested the proof reaction to such meaningful stimuli, as: the use of psychoactive and narcotic substances is with non-medical aims; disorder of conduct, related to the use of alcohol; misconducts petty offences for which the applicant was not charged; steady forms of the aggressive reacting in conflict situations; addiction to games and gambling.The results may allow the polygraph specialists to conduct the procedure of psychophysiological examination with a plygraph at a higher level both due to the procedure of testing and taking in the account the age-dependent features of the respondents.The further study of the material examined in the paper should be directed on upgrading students’ educational and official activity, preventing their commitment of offences, providing competent security of the penitentiary system in general.
IRX–β RELATION OF STAR-FORMING REGIONS IN NGC 628 BASED ON INTEGRAL FIELD SPECTROSCOPY
Authors: Ye Chengyun , Zou Hu , Lin Lin , Lian Jianhui , Hu Ning , Kong Xu 
Published: August 2016

ABSTRACT
It has been found that the infrared-to-ultraviolet luminosity ratio (IRX) and ultraviolet spectral slope (β) have a tight correlation in starburst galaxies, while in normal galaxies the relation is deviated and has a much larger scatter. Star formation regions are much simpler in both morphology and physical properties than galaxies, so their photometric and spectroscopic properties are more easily and accurately determined. We have used the integral field spectroscopy and multiband photometric images to study the IRX–β relation of H ii regions in a nearby galaxy, NGC 628. There are obvious correlations between the Dn
(4000), stellar population age, star formation rate, especially Hα equivalent width EW(Hα), and deviation distance d
p from the starburst IRX–β relation. However, there is little correlation between the Balmer decrement, metallicity, and d
p. It is much more complicated than expected, so that we cannot introduce a single second parameter to describe the scatter and deviation of the H ii region IRX–β relation.
The Qadisha Valley, Lebanon
Authors: Chaaya Anis 
Published: August 2016

ABSTRACT
The Qadisha Valley (also known as Wadi Qadisha in Arabic) is located in northern Lebanon and is one of the longest valleys in the Mount Lebanon range. It combines a beautiful unique landscape with numerous historical and archaeological sites. Carved out by the Qadisha River in a deep gorge, the valley is an oasis of peace, serenity, and spirituality for many. It has sheltered Christian monastic communities for centuries. The Qadisha Valley is an important area for early Christian monastic movements that have been coming to live and pray there since the fifth century AD, mainly the Maronite Church between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. In 1998, the valley was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a cultural landscape.
