Abstract
Increased left ventricular mass (LVM) is an intermediate phenotype for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a predictor of stroke. Using families from the Dominican Republic, we have previously shown LVM to be heritable and found evidence for linkage to chromosome 12p11. Our current study aimed to further characterize the QTL by sequencing the 1 LOD unit down region in 10 families from the Dominican Republic with evidence for linkage to LVM. Within this region, we tested 5477 common variants [CVs; minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥5%] using the Quantitative Transmission-Disequilibrium Test (QTDT). Gene-based analyses were performed to test rare variants (RVs; MAF &lt; 5%) in 181 genes using the family-based sequence kernel association test. A sample of 618 unrelated Dominicans from the Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS) and 12 Dominican families with Exome Array data were used for replication analyses. The most strongly associated CV with evidence for replication was rs1046116 (Discovery families P = 9.0 × 10−4; NOMAS P = 0.03; replication families P = 0.46), a missense variant in PKP2. In nonsynonymous RV analyses, PKP2 was one of the most strongly associated genes (P = 0.05) with suggestive evidence for replication in NOMAS (P = 0.05). PKP2 encodes the plakophilin 2 protein and is a desmosomal gene implicated in arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and recently in arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy, which makes PKP2 an excellent candidate gene for LVM. In conclusion, sequencing of our previously reported QTL identified common and rare variants within PKP2 to be associated with LVM. Future studies are necessary to elucidate the role these variants play in influencing LVM.

Maria Pia fecit / By Maria Pia: the observed and the observer. Some reflections on gender issues considering the case of Queen Maria Pia, the photographer
Authors: Flores Teresa Mendes 
Published: December 2017

his article discusses some aspects of the status of women amateur photographers during the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries, considering the case of the Portuguese Queen Maria Pia of Savoy (1847-1911). We acknowledge the difficulties of making the historiography of women photographers in Portugal, due to the scarcity of sources and archives, and the lack of questions about these absences and their reasons. These facts have contributed to a history of photography in Portugal that consists of a succession of male names of “great photographers”. Asking questions about “the other half”, as well as broadening conceptions of photography to include the diversity of their practices may contribute to highlight the gender constructions raised by photographic practice. It also will help to understand the factors contributing to the limited access of Portuguese women to this practice and the lack of their public visibility, during this period.

Application Of Path-Goal Leadership Theory And Learning Theory In A Learning Organization
Authors: Farhan Bayan Yousef 
Published: December 2017

This paper used learning theory and path-goal theory to propose a learning leadership model. The practical side of these two theories is suitable for this proposed model, its agenda, and its tools for improving organizational learning. The model is based on the assumption that leaders need to develop their competences and the competences of subordinates by creating a continuous learning process through sharing, exchanging, and improving knowledge and experiences. The model states that learning leaders act as facilitators of the organizational learning process and adopt the right attitude to motivate subordinates for learning by removing obstacles and creating a learning culture.

Psychosocial characteristics of students with learning disabilities
Authors: Ališauskas Algirdas , Galvydytė Jelena 
Published: December 2017

The article describes the psychosocial characteristics of students with learning disabilities. Qualitative data collection and processing (interview and interview content analysis) and quantitative (socio-metric research) methods have been applied. Positive and negative psychosocial (emotional self-satisfaction/feeling, self-actualisation and self-expression and inter- personal relations) characteristics of a student with learning disabilities have been distinguished and defined. The social status of these students has been ascertained within the class and the motives of the classmates in their choices have been revealed.
A psychosocial portrait (according to feeling well, self- actualisation, and the quality of interpersonal relationship) of a student with learning disabilities is ambiguous, reconciling both positive and negative characteristics. In the class, a relatively high status of students with learning disabilities has been identified. Positive and negative classmate’s choices mostly related to personal qualities and acceptable or unacceptable behaviour of the students with learning disabilities. An analysis of interview content revealed the factors determining self-esteem, self-expression, and interpersonal relationships of students with learning disabilities.
As disputas sino-vietnamitas no Mar do Sul: desafios para além da questão regional
Authors: Pautasso Diego , Leite Alexandre Cesar Cunha , Doria Gaio 
Published: December 2017

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar a situação atual das relações entre a China e o Vietnã na questão relativa às disputas territoriais no Mar do Sul da China. Por um lado, China e Vietnã convergem em seus regimes políticos e modelos econômicos, além de participar de processos de integração regional conjuntos. Por outro, possuem interesses políticos e territoriais divergentes sobre espaços no Mar do Sul da China, região estratégica nos âmbitos comercial e geopolítico. Trata-se de um dos litígios territoriais mais importantes envolvendo os países da região e seus potenciais aliados, com destaque para a forte penetração dos Estados Unidos (EUA). É, pois, um tema complexo que engloba questões militares, econômicas e diplomáticas, com desdobramentos para o sistema internacional. O argumento proposto é que esse litígio tende a determinar não apenas a evolução das relações bilaterais sino-vietnamitas, mas a dinâmica de integração regional e, sobretudo, a projeção de poder dos Estados Unidos em uma porção chave do mundo oriental.
Design and finite element simulation of an ultrasonic transducer of two piezoelectric discs
Authors: Xu Jinkai , Huanhuan Ren 
Published: December 2017

With the developing of ultrasound technology and expending of it’s application scope, new requirements for the structure and the energy radiation of the transducer are presented. A reasonable design and manufacture of the transducer ensures that the energy can be transmitted with minimal loss. Based on the longitudinal vibration equation, a sandwich piezoelectric transducer which can be used in the field of precision machining, medical and other fields is designed and simulated in this paper. Different from the ordinary transducer, the front cover of this transducer is also a horn which can amplify the output amplitude compared to an equal section circular bar. ANSYS15.0 is used to calculate and analyze the transducer model with using HyperMesh (HM) software to generate the mesh to ensure the quality of the mesh. The finite element analysis software can calculate the transducer modal and harmonic response, and the results can be used to compare with theoretical design. The design frequency of the transducer is 20 kHz, the error between the simulation and the theoretical value is less than five percent, the result obtained by ANSYS is very close to the theoretical design.
Research on dynamic characteristics of spiral basilar membrane after replacing artificial auditory ossicle based on the reconstructed human ear model
Authors: Wang Yu , Xue Hong Mei 
Published: December 2017

In this paper, PATRAN software was used to establish a complete 3D finite element model of human ears, and it was then combined with NASTRAN software to analyze frequency responses. This paper conducted a detailed analysis on the dynamic parameters including umbo and stapes displacements of normal human ears under sound pressures 90 dB and 105 dB. The numerically computational results were compared with experimental data. When the analyzed frequency was less than 1000 Hz, the computational result of numerical simulation was well consistent with the upper limit. When the analyzed frequency was more than 1000 Hz, the computational result of numerical simulation was well consistent with the lower limit. Therefore, the numerically computational model was reliable. In addition, based on the verified model, this paper studied vibration characteristics of spiral basilar membrane after replacing artificial auditory ossicle based on the whole hearing system, and found that vibration characteristics of spiral basilar membrane had an obvious change at low and high frequencies after replacing artificial auditory ossicle TORP. Using finite element method to analyze vibration characteristics of spiral basilar membrane can well predict the hearing recovery effect after replacing artificial auditory ossicle. Compared with normal ears, the vibration level of spiral basilar membrane after replacing artificial auditory ossicle has slowed down in 100 Hz-600 Hz, 2000 Hz-4000 Hz and 7000 Hz-10000 Hz, and has been strengthened in 600 Hz-2000 Hz and 4000 Hz-7000 Hz, which provided some help for the hearing recovery at the high-frequency band.
The net power control of hydraulic-electricity energy regenerative suspension
Authors: Gong Bian , Guo Xuexun , Xu Lin , Fang Zhigang 
Published: December 2017

For achieving the control of hydraulic-electricity energy regenerative suspension (HERS), a novel control algorithm, net power control (NPC), is applied in this study. A HERS unit as a new energy reclaiming suspension device is equipped with an energy-harvesting hydraulic-electricity shock absorber (HESA). The composition and classification of HESA damping force were analyzed based on the basic working principle of HESA. Thus, the mathematical model of HESA damping force is deduced as a function of suspension dynamic speed and load current. A series of experiments were made to verify the reliability of the model. Based on the energy flow analysis of the suspension system, the net power flowing into the suspension is calculated. In order to minimize the vibration acceleration of the vehicle body, a novel net power control is proposed. The comparison result indicates the control effect of NPC is more significant than skyhook control, especially in the high excitation frequency. Also, the HERS bench test was carried out to verify the feasibility of NPC. The related results show that the maximum acceleration of the vibration is improved by 34.23 % with NPC on bump pavement excitation. And on B-class random road, the root mean square (RMS) value of the sprung mass vibration acceleration is reduced by 65 %. Furthermore, the influence of suspension dynamic velocity and deflection on the optimal control load current is obtained.
Incremental dynamic analysis of SDOF by using nonlinear earthquake accelerograms based on modified inverse Fourier transform
Authors: Faroughi Alireza , Hosseini Mahmood 
Published: December 2017

In evaluation of structures, performing nonlinear response of model over a time analysis or incremental dynamic analysis needs more time. Hence, it can be beneficial if the event history report is carried out with long time steps without loss of accuracy. This study includes a method to simplify of accelerograms meant on the change of their Fourier reports. So, the Fourier Spectrum of the accelerogram is initially determined. Next applying a PC code generation, the similar Inverse Fourier Convert is computed utilizing a comparatively large time stage, depending on the structure’s times; that is ordinarily five to ten times bigger than primary accelerogram’s duration stage to generate the visible accelerogram. This application from the simplified accelerogram apparently takes much less time. Results indicates that the analysis time can be reduced up to 80 % by using the proposed method. While the maximum response shows an error of merely five to ten percent, about the sort of structure and the characteristics of the records used.
