The Second Confirmed Station for Carabus hungaricus (Fabricius, 1792) (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Romania
Authors: Popescu Irinel Eugen , Iorgu Ionuţ Ştefan 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Carabus hungaricus is a typical steppic species declining throughout its range from Central Europe to Eastern Siberia, sharing the fate of the temperate grasslands, being listed in the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC) (Annexes II and IV) and protected in most countries of occurrence. The populations are isolated, fragmented and even facing extinction. In the spring of 2014, we observed and photographed one female of Carabus hungaricus in “Coridorul Jiului” Natura 2000 site (ROSCI0045), in an area with sandy grasslands near Murta locality (Dolj County), this being the second currently confirmed station for Carabus hungaricus in Romania.
Results of Interlaboratory Test Programs to Assess the Precision of Inclusion Ratings by Methods A, C, and D of ASTM E45
Authors: Vander Voort G. F. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Over the years, ASTM Committee E4 on metallography has conducted interlaboratory test programs to evaluate the precision and bias associated with measurements of microstructure using proposed and existing test methods. ASTM decided in the late 1970s that all test methods that generated numerical data must have a precision and bias section defining the repeatability and reproducibility of the method. Defining bias associated with a test method is difficult unless there is an absolute known value for the quantity being measured and this is not possible when microstructural features are being measured. This paper shows the results for an interlaboratory test using Method A, “worst-field” ratings of inclusions in steels using the original Plates I and III of ASTM E45, using Method C, a worst-field rating using Plate II; and, using Method D, a quantitative approach where every field is rated using Plates I and III. The results from nine people who were reported to be qualified, regular users of the method revealed consistent problems of misclassification of inclusion types and a wide range of severity ratings for each specimen. The test results using an image analyzer will be compared to that of the manual raters.
Microstructural Analysis of a Failed Cu-Cr-Ti-Zr Thrust Chamber Liner of a Cryogenic Engine

Published: September 2016

Abstract
During the routine testing of a cryogenic engine, failure of a copper alloy (Cu-Cr-Ti-Zr) liner was noticed which led to the test abort. On close inspection of the liner, a circumferential crack with a length of 78 mm was observed on the divergent side of the thrust chamber. Roughening of the inner wall of the thrust chamber was noticed at the cracked location and extended circumference. Thinning of the copper liner wall was observed at the location of the crack indicating plastic yielding of the material at the location of failure. Fracture surface observations by scanning electron microscopy revealed features of material flow and softening at many locations indicative of exposure of fracture surface to high temperature after failure. Further, striation marks were noticed on the fracture surface indicative of fatigue. Very fine recrystallized grains were noticed in optical microscopy at the location of the crack. This is attributed to dynamic recrystallization occurring during deformation at high temperatures. Strain markings and slip bands were noticed in the interior of grains near the fracture edge. Based on extensive microstructural analysis of the failed hardware, it is concluded that the throat of thrust chamber failed due to “thermal ratcheting.”
Gain- and Loss-Related Brain Activation Are Associated with Information Search Differences in Risky Gambles: An fMRI and Eye-Tracking Study
Authors: Häusler Alexander Niklas , Oroz Artigas Sergio , Trautner Peter , Weber Bernd 
Published: September 2016

AbstractPeople differ in the way they approach and handle choices with unsure outcomes. In this study, we demonstrate that individual differences in the neural processing of gains and losses relates to attentional differences in the way individuals search for information in gambles. Fifty subjects participated in two independent experiments. Participants first completed an fMRI experiment involving financial gains and losses. Subsequently, they performed an eye-tracking experiment on binary choices between risky gambles, each displaying monetary outcomes and their respective probabilities. We find that individual differences in gain and loss processing relate to attention distribution. Individuals with a stronger reaction to gains in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex paid more attention to monetary amounts, while a stronger reaction in the ventral striatum to losses was correlated with an increased attention to probabilities. Reaction in the posterior cingulate cortex to losses was also found to correlate with an increased attention to probabilities. Our data show that individual differences in brain activity and differences in information search processes are closely linked.
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) prevents age-related deterioration of trabecular bone microarchitecture at the tibia in postmenopausal women
Authors: Rønn Sofie Hertz , Harsløf Torben , Pedersen Steen Bønløkke , Langdahl Bente Lomholt 
Published: September 2016

Objective
Clinical studies suggest that vitamin K2 protects against bone loss and fractures; however, its effect on bone quality has never been investigated. We investigated the effect of vitamin MK-7 on undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), and bone mass and quality.

Design
We conducted a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical trial.

Methods
We investigated the effect of MK-7 375 µg for 12 months on bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bone microarchitecture measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) and biochemical bone turnover markers in 148 postmenopausal women with osteopenia. All of them were supplemented with calcium and vitamin D.

Results
ucOC decreased in the MK-7 group (−65.6 (59.1; 71.0) %) (median (CI)) compared with the placebo group (−6.4 (−13.5; 1.2) %) after 3 months (P < 0.01). HRpQCT after 12 months demonstrated that trabecular number in tibia was unchanged in the MK-7-group (−0.1 ± 1.9%) (mean ± s.d.) and decreased in the placebo group (−3.5 ± 2.2%), trabecular spacing was unchanged in the MK-7 group (+1.2 ± 8.0%) and increased in the placebo group (+4.5 ± 9.7%), and trabecular thickness was unchanged in the MK-7 group (+0.2 ± 1.7%) and increased in the placebo group (+4.0 ± 2.2%) (between-group changes for all: P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the groups in HRpQCT-derived parameters at the radius or in BMD at any site.

Conclusion
The changes in bone microarchitecture in the placebo group are consistent with the age-related deterioration of trabecular structure, with a loss of trabeculae and a greater mean thickness of the remaining trabeculae. This suggests that vitamin MK-7 preserves trabecular bone structure at the tibia.
FACING 2020: THE 9 TRAITS OF SUCCESSFULL MIGRANT ENTREPRENEURS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ROME
Authors: Cillo Valentina , Caggiano Valeria 
Published: September 2016

Abstract:The distinctiveness of migrants’ entrepreneurial propensity can be explained by considering both internal characteristics of the individual migrant, as well as the external environment of the host economy he/she operates in (Kloosterman et al. 1999). Migrants can perceive and seek entrepreneurial opportunities through specific sets of resources and personality-traits (Kloosterman/Rath 2001, Kloosterman 2010). Despite of this, the topic is vastly under-studied compared to its economic importance. After an in-depth study of the literature status quo about it, the paper analyses the motivation, intention, self-efficacy, culture, entrepreneurial orientation and performance of immigrant entrepreneurs. The main aim is to verify to what extent perceptions and skills of these immigrant entrepreneurs are similar to entrepreneurial psychological constructs studied in the literature. The used research instrument was the semi-structured interview consisting of 49 open-ended questions directed at the sample under examination. The results of the study showed a significant correlation between motivation and business performance (a motivated entrepreneur is more likely to succeed in business than an unmotivated entrepreneur) and a significant positive correlation between culture and motivation to start a business (a culture that is supportive of entrepreneurial activities, lowuncertainty avoidance, high individualism and lowpower distance relates positively to a high level of entrepreneurial self-efficacy).Keywords: Migrants, Entrepreneurs, Traits, Europe 2020

Published: September 2016

Abstract:Education is a complex phenomenon that needs to address the motivational dimension of students. The objective of the study is to discover and check, by the opinion of secondary school students, the motivation level (intrinsic, extrinsic) of Galician young, as well as determining which of the social and school variables affect significantly that motivation. For it, there was realized a quantitative and descriptive study, relating the variables of students and the educational center with the motivation measured by the CMEA (Section motivation) questionnaire. It was found that the Galician teenagers have more extrinsic motivation that intrinsic motivation, showing significant variations depending on the age, education, course and province variables. Also, confirmed by Scheffé the existence of solid reasons to support higher levels of motivation in younger teenagers who have good academic records, enrolled in the first years of compulsory secondary education and living in small towns. In conclusion, no doubt that motivation is a variable of great significance in personal and contextual fit in the adolescent population.Keywords: Intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, teenagers, secondary education.Resumen:La educación es un fenómeno complejo que necesita atender la dimensión motivacional del alumnado. El objetivo del estudio es descubrir y constatar, mediante la opinión del alumnado de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, el nivel de motivación (intrínseca, extrínseca) de los jóvenes gallegos, además de determinar las variables socioescolares que inciden significativamente en la motivación. Para ello se realizó un estudio de tipo cuantitativo descriptivo, relacionando las variables del alumnado y el centro educativo con la motivación medida por el cuestionario CMEA (Sección motivación). Se encontró que los adolescentes gallegos poseen una mejor motivación extrínseca que intrínseca, presentando variaciones significativas en función de las variables, edad, estudios, curso y provincia. Además, se confirma a través de Scheffé la existencia de razones sólidas para sustentar mayores niveles de motivación en adolescentes de menor edad que tienen buenos expedientes académicos, cursan los primeros cursos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y residen en poblaciones pequeñas. En conclusión, no cabe la menor duda de que la motivación es una variable de gran calado en el ajuste personal y contextual en la población adolescente.Palabras clave: Motivación intrínseca, motivación extrínseca, adolescencia, educación secundaria.

Abstract:The multiple sclerosis affects 46000 people in Spain and is suffered by young adults mainly. Nevertheless, nowadays numerous cases are discovered in the adolescence. EM’s diagnosis in this stage influences all the dimensions of his development. To avoid this impact and to manage to favor the adolescence development positively, it´s necessary to encourage the subject´s personal characteristics that helps in the disease´s adaptation and gets a quality of life. For this reason we have believed necessarily to approach the above mentioned characteristics from the positive psychology, with the aim to get an improvement the mood to personal and clinical level, as well as an increase in the sensation of the psychological and physical well-being across the Fierabrás preventive program. We intervened through a case study with two subjects (separately), evaluating the efficiency of the program with three instruments: HAD Scale, Authentic Happiness Inventory and SF-36 Questionnaire. The results indicate that the program appear to be effective in the teenager with EM in the treatment of the depression and certain dimensions of the psychological well-being. Though for the healthy teenager it doesn´t appear to be effective in the treatment of the anxiety and depression, it favors diverse dimensions of the psychological well-being.Key Words: Adolescence, multiple sclerosis, positive psychology, quality of life.Resumen:La esclerosis múltiple afecta a 46000 personas en España y se da en mayor medida en adultos jóvenes. Sin embargo, en la actualidad se están descubriendo numerosos casos en la adolescencia. El diagnostico de EM en esta etapa afecta a todas las dimensiones de su desarrollo. Para evitar este impacto y lograr favorecer el desarrollo de la adolescencia de una manera ajustada, es necesario fomentar aquellas características personales del sujeto que ayuden en la adaptación a la enfermedad y en la consecución de una calidad de vida óptima. Por este motivo hemos creído necesario abordar dichas características desde la psicología positiva, con el objetivo de obtener una mejora del estado de ánimo a nivel personal y a nivel clínico, así como un aumento en la sensación del bienestar psicológico y físico a través del Programa de Intervención Fierabrás. A través de un estudio de caso único se intervino sobre una muestra de dos sujetos (por separado), evaluando la eficacia del programa con tres instrumentos: la Escala HAD, el Inventario de la felicidad auténtica, y el Cuestionario SF-36. Los resultados indican que el programa resulta eficaz en el adolescente con EM en el tratamiento de la depresión y ciertas dimensiones del bienestar psicológico, y, si bien para la adolescente sana no resulta eficaz en el tratamiento de la ansiedad y depresión, favorece en gran medida diversas dimensiones del bienestar psicológico.Palabras clave: adolescencia, esclerosis múltiple, psicología positiva, calidad de vida.

Abstract:THE DIFFICULTY OF REACHING AGREEMENT ON HUMAN RELATIONSHIP: EGO CONTROL TO INNER PEACE.Wanting to be right is the main cause of conflicts involving human relationship. And the reason for the being of such cause is found in the ego. (We will use the term Ego, as part of the self that is at the service of the superego, in the sense Capra) It is assessing the psychological distress caused by the dependence of the ego. We believe that in the field of psychotherapy is of great importance to the domain of the ego to reach agreement among professionals that benefit our patients and not confuse them and learn to eliminate psychological suffering that produces lose control of the ego. To the above can be solved and lead a life of healthy relationship, outside prejudices and complexes have two fundamental tools; assertiveness and self-esteem.Keywords: assertiveness, self-esteem, ego, conflicts, complexes, and prejudices.Resumen:Querer tener razón es la principal causa de los conflictos que afectan a las relaciones interpersonales. Y la razón de ser de dicha causa la encontramos en el Ego. (Vamos a utilizar el término Ego, como la parte del Yo que se pone al servicio del superyo, en el sentido de Capra) Es de valorar el sufrimiento psicológico que provoca la dependencia de dicho ego. Consideramos que en el campo de la psicología, la psicoterapia es de gran importancia el dominio del ego para poder llegar a acuerdos entre los profesionales que beneficien a los sujetos, a los pacientes y no los confundan y de alguna forma se les pueda enseñar a eliminar el sufrimiento psicológico que produce el descontrol del mismo. Para que lo anterior se pueda solucionar y llevar una vida de relación interpersonal saludable, es decir fuera de prejuicios y conflictos, disponemos de dos herramientas fundamentales la asertividad y la autoestima.Palabras clave; asertividad, autoestima, ego, conflictos, complejos y prejuicios.
