Authors: Gugnani Ritika , Nair Abhijit 
Published: November 2017

Vaibhav Global Limited (VGL) earlier known as Vaibhav Gems Limited is a global electronic retailer of fashion jewellery and lifestyle accessories operating in USA and UK. This case is about current business model which many financial professionals call ‘an impenetrable moat’ created in a turnaround of the organization after 2008 global recession. The case is on the company’s nimbleness to mould its outlook and bring in discount jewellery model so as to have a broader reach in the market. The capability to scale this model into a seamless and integrative approach augured well for its business. The company owns two TV shopping channels abroad. After 2011, VGL became a fully vertically integrated retailer. It got transformed into a B2C player from being a B2B player. It is one of few e-tailers from India which is making profits. It markets and sells products to its consumer through a televised shopping programme. It broadcasts various programmes through hosts and hostesses for describing and demonstrating its products. It is a vertically integrated company from being a gemstone sight holder to manufacturing, wholesaling to retailer. It is the only Indian company which demonstrates fully integrated E-tailing model and is profitable also. It is mainly operating into gemstone-studded jewellery of gold, silver or brass with gold plating. Lately it has also started selling lifestyle products like bags, scarves, i-phone/pad covers, etc.
Diffusion-controlled and replacement microtextures in alkali feldspars from two pegmatites: Perth, Ontario and Keystone, South Dakota
Authors: Lee Martin R. , Parsons Ian 
Published: November 2017

AbstractMacro- and micro-perthitic microclines from pegmatites from Perth, Ontario (Wards catalogue 46 E 0510) and Keystone, South Dakota (Wards 46 E 5125) have been studied using light and electron microscopy. A sample of the type perthite from Perth, Ontario (Hunterian Museum, Glasgow, M2361)was compared using light microscopy. It differs in bulk composition and microtexture from the Wards sample. The Perth sample from Wards is a mesoperthite, with sub-periodic ∼mm-thick albite veins near (100), with irregular surfaces. The microcline has regular tartan twins and formed fromorthoclase by a continuous process. The Keystone sample is a microperthite, with non-periodic albite veins mainly in {110}. Irregular tartan twins, volumes of irregular microcline and subgrains suggest that the microcline formed by dissolution–reprecipitation. Microcline in both samplescontains semicoherent cryptoperthitic albite films that formed after the development of tartan twins. The bulk compositions of these intergrowths imply exsolution below ∼400°C. Diffusion parameters imply sustained heating for between 0.11 My at 400°C, 1.5 GPa and 8.4 My at 300°C,1 GPa. Unrealistic times are required at 200°C. Subsequently, the crystals reacted with a fluid leading to replacive growth of the vein perthites. Unusually, Albite twin composition planes in replacive subgrains have sub-periodic dislocations, formed by coalescence of advancing growthtwins. Processes that might lead to periodic, replacive intergrowths are discussed. The Perth and Keystone feldspars have been used for experimental work on dissolution during weathering and on anomalous thermoluminescence fading. Their microtextures make them unsuitable for obtaining propertiesthat can be extrapolated to feldspars in general.

A combined 400+ km of single- and multichannel seismic reflection data were acquired on Lake Neusiedl in northeast Austria in May 2013. This geophysical campaign was a multinational academic effort among the Universities of Vienna, Budapest, Bremen, and Southampton. Lake Neusiedl is an exceptionally shallow lake, with an average water depth of only approximately 1.4 m. Although high-resolution single-channel seismic reflection data have been collected before on this lake, the multichannel seismic acquisition, towing a 60 m cable and an air gun behind a retrofitted ferry boat, was a completely new approach in this area. The quality of the multichannel data turned out to be exceptionally good; i.e., the high-frequency data illuminated the subsurface of the lake for the first time, down to the pre-Cenozoic basement at approximately 600 m depth. The most prominent findings of the new data include (1) a consistent southeasterly dip of erosionally truncated Late Miocene (Pannonian) sediments beneath a very thin Holocene mud layer, (2) the presence of major throughgoing fault systems (including a positive flower structure), (3) at least one Pannonian progradational sequence defined by seismic clinoforms indicating a paleowater depth of approximately 40–80 m, (4) flat spots in several locations of the study area corresponding to possibly biogenic gas in a few hundred meters depth beneath the lake, (5) vertical data wipeouts, which are interpreted as gas chimneys reaching the lake bottom, and (6) definition of the pre-Cenozoic basement. Interestingly, the gas chimneys are interpreted to correspond to the well-known gas seeps (“Kochbrunnen”) in Lake Neusiedl, which were originally described as subaqueous water springs on the lake floor responsible for ice-free areas in the lake ice cover during winter.

Published: November 2017

Safeguarding adults reviews are an important part of the safeguarding process as they allow lessons to be learned. Julie Dalphinis describes the findings of a recent study which looked at all recent reviews in London and found ways the process could be improved Safeguarding adults reviews are a statutory requirement of the Care Act (2014). They take place when an ‘at-risk’ adult has died—or suffered permenant harm—from serious abuse and neglect, and there is concern about how the agencies involved in protecting the individual acted. The aim is to learn lessons to prevent similar circumstances happening again. This article provides an overview of a recent review of the process in London and provides recommendations for improving practice in primary care.

Abstract
Why is it that young Italian-American men were shooting each other over turf during the prohibition of alcohol in the 20th century, and young African-American men are shooting each other over turf in the 21st? Was this just a historical accident? Could it easily have been the other way around? That is the question with which the present paper attempts to wrestle.

The objectives of the present study were to analyze the effect of temperature regimes on stress levels and to determine the suitable water temperature for the domestication of tapah, Wallago leeri Bleeker. A completely randomized method was used in this study, and three levels of water temperature were tested, namely, 27, 29, and 31°C, in seven replicates. A total of 500 experimental fish were collected from the Kampar River, Langgam, Riau, Indonesia, and transported to the Aquaculture Laboratory, Riau University. The fish were reared in 21 tanks at stocking densities of 70-100 fish tank−1. The fish were fed rough fish three times a day at 08:00, 12:00, and 21:00 for 30 days. Blood samples were taken on days 1, 14, and 29, which were analyzed for cortisol, glucose, and plasma protein. Growth and survival rates were recorded at the end of the experiment. ANOVA showed that water temperature had a significant effect on the stress condition, growth, and survival rate of tapah. Lower blood glucose, protein, and cortisol plasma levels were recorded in fish acclimatized at 29°C with values of 14.44 mg dL−1, 5.35 g dL−1, and 6.90 mg mL−1, respectively. Additionally, higher growth performance (32.30 g) and survival rates (100%) were also found in fish reared at 29°C. It was concluded that the best water temperature for the domestication of tapah is 29°C.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
In Latvia, the issues of the Real Estate Cadastre are arranged; however, it should be noted that part of the issues affecting the Baltic Sea, i.e., the issues of the Marine Cadastre, are not covered by the Real Estate Cadastre. The status of the Baltic coastline is an essential element of infrastructure for all countries around the Baltic Sea. This baseline serves as the key element or reference for the Marine Cadastre. In place-to-place, this line is the dynamic element as it is possible to monitor location with advanced and progressive technologies. The issues of the Marine Cadastre are on the agenda in many EU countries, and several internаtional projects are being reаlized. Land parcels from the sea are registered and maintained in the Cadastre Information System in Latvia. Starting from 2017, the State Land Service of Latvia has started to register coastal areas two kilometres in width from the Baltic Sea baseline. Cadastral information about the Marine Cadastre is being used for spatial planning and taxation.
A Values-Led Planning Approach for Sustainable Land Use and Development
Authors: Auziņš Armands , Viesturs Jānis 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The creation of positive synergy in managing land-related resources if exploring the territorial capabilities, threats and opportunities, e.g. the effects of urban expansion, multi-functionality of land use, internalisation of negative externalities and challenges of a city agglomeration, causes primary necessity for the modern society. The study is concerned with the conceptual background and feasibility aspects of values-led planning (VLP) approach to be introduced into land management practice by capitalising first of all on comparative analysis of dynamic spatial planning systems and planning cultures. Finally, it is argued that the implementation of new planning approach within proposed framework would lead towards improved land use policies and better territorial governance, developing more inclusive and resilient territories for the benefit of a society.

Abstract
Designing orthopedic implants with a long lifespan is essential for improving patients’ quality of life. It is necessary to develop new products with a high degree of personalization for the human body. Physicians and engineers analyzed the geometry and behavior of healthy joints’ motion under specific load conditions as well as the behavior over time and lifetime of orthopedic implants fitted to patients to improve their quality. The paper presents the way in which three-dimensional modeling techniques using specialized software (Catia, SolidWorks) can be combined with reverse engineering techniques (3D scanning) to optimize the design of orthopedic implants. The design of an implant consists of its three-dimensional modeling, as well as simulation of its integration into the human body, in order to analyze its behavior during motion. Therefore, it is necessary not only to 3D model the parts that make up the implant itself, but also to 3D model the bone to which the implant will be fitted. The paper highlights the complementarity of the classic modeling techniques with the reverse engineering techniques, which is necessary because the design of the parts that make up the implant itself can be achieved by specialized software modeling techniques, while the bones, having complex geometries, are better suited to 3D Modeling by scanning.
Yahya Kemal and Nizar Qabbani: Two Poet-Diplomats in Spain and “Andalus” in their Poems
Authors: Doğru İhsan 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Yahya Kemal and Nizar Qabbani were two poets who served as diplomats in Spain in the past century on behalf of the governments of Turkey and Syria. Yahya Kemal wrote two poems about Spain, “Dance in Andalusia “ and “Coffee Shop in Madrid”. “Dance in Andalusia,” a poem written about the Flamenco dance, has become very famous. In this poem, he described the traditional dance of the Spanish people and emphasized the place of this dance in their lives and the fun-loving lives of the people of Spain. In almost all of the poems which Nizar Qabbani wrote about Spain, on the other hand, a feeling of sadness rather than joy prevails. He gives a deep sigh in his poems as he regards Andalusia as the one-time land of his ancestors. His most important poem with respect to Spain is the poem entitled “Granada”. This poem is considered to be one of the most significant odes in the Arab literature describing Granada, the pearl of Andalusia, Arab influences there, the Alhambra palace and the sadness felt due to the loss of the city by Arabs. This study analyzes the two most important poems written by Yahya Kemal and Nizar Qabbani concerning Spain, namely “Dance in Andalusia” and “Granada”. Whenever it is deemed appropriate, other poems of the two poets regarding Spain will be dwelt upon and what kind of an influence Andalusia left in their emotional world will be revealed.
The Frankenstein Meme: Penny Dreadful and The Frankenstein Chronicles as Adaptations
Authors: Braid Barbara 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) is one of the most adaptable and adapted novels of all time, spurring countless renditions in film, television, comic books, cartoons, and other products of popular culture. Like a meme, this story adapts itself to changing cultural contexts by replication with mutation. This article examines the adaptive and appropriative features of two recent examples of such renditions in the form of television series, Penny Dreadful (2014-2016) and The Frankenstein Chronicles (2015). It discusses palimpsestic appropriations used in these shows, their depiction of Frankenstein and his Creatures, and above all, the themes and their meanings which these twenty-first-century appropriations of Frankenstein offer.
Common fixed point theorems via generalized condition (B) in quasi-partial metric space and applications
Authors: Tomar Anita , Beloul Said , Sharma Ritu , Upadhyay Shivangi 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to introduce generalized condition (B) in a quasi-partial metric space acknowledging the notion of Künzi et al. [Künzi H.-P. A., Pajoohesh H., Schellekens M. P., Partial quasi-metrics, Theoret. Comput. Sci., 2006, 365, 237-246] and Karapinar et al. [Karapinar E., Erhan M.,Öztürk A., Fixed point theorems on quasi-partial metric spaces, Math. Comput.Modelling, 2013, 57, 2442-2448] and to establish coincidence and common fixed point theorems for twoweakly compatible pairs of self mappings. In the sequelwe also answer affirmatively two open problems posed by Abbas, Babu and Alemayehu [Abbas M., Babu G. V. R., Alemayehu G. N., On common fixed points of weakly compatible mappings satisfying generalized condition (B), Filomat, 2011, 25(2), 9-19]. Further in the setting of a quasi-partial metric space, the results obtained are utilized to establish the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the integral equation and the functional equation arising in dynamic programming. Our results are also justified by explanatory examples supported with pictographic validations to demonstrate the authenticity of the postulates.
An Object Detection and Pose Estimation Approach for Position Based Visual Servoing
Authors: Shi Lei 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this paper, an object recognition method and a pose estimation approach using stereo vision is presented. The proposed approach was used for position based visual servoing of a 6 DoF manipulator. The object detection and recognition method was designed with the purpose of increasing robustness. A RGB color-based object descriptor and an online correction method is proposed for object detection and recognition. Pose was estimated by using the depth information derived from stereo vision camera and an SVD based method. Transformation between the desired pose and object pose was calculated and later used for position based visual servoing. Experiments were carried out to verify the proposed approach for object recognition. The stereo camera was also tested to see whether the depth accuracy is adequate. The proposed object recognition method is invariant to scale, orientation and lighting condition which increases the level of robustness. The accuracy of stereo vision camera can reach 1 mm. The accuracy is adequate for tasks such as grasping and manipulation.
