Authors: Rajab Taufiek , Rinewalt Daniel , Belkin Michael , Goldberg Joel , Zhou Haiyang 
Published: January 2017

AbstractA 50-year-old male smoker presented with a perforated colon cancer and underwent an extended right colectomy. Feculent peritonitis was treated with empiric antibiotics. Postoperatively he developed severe back pain and rising leukocytosis. Serial computed tomography revealed a rapidly expanding infrarenal aortic aneurysm. He was urgently treated with extra-anatomic bypasses and aortic resection. No organisms grew from the resected aortic wall. He was discharged in stable condition, and the ileostomy was reversed 9 months later.
Improving community prescribing of post-fracture denosumab after discharge
Authors: Wood Helen , Lewis Harriet , Ward Rachael , Solanki Tarun , Fernando Prabhath 
Published: January 2017

Background: In the UK, denosumab is usually started by hospital clinicians and continued by primary care physicians in the community, but in the authors' region denosumab is a ‘green light’ drug, only prescribed by the primary care team. The authors suspected that a proportion of patients who were recommended to start the drug after a neck of femur fracture were not receiving this on discharge. They aimed to improve the prescribing of denosumab by implementing a quality improvement project. Methods: A retrospective review of electronic records and case notes in primary and secondary care was undertaken, focusing on patients who were admitted with a neck of femur fracture and recommended denosumab. Following cycle 1 of the project two interventions were implemented: Denosumab written on the inpatient prescription chart at point of treatment decision, promoting inclusion in the discharge summary A consultant letter recommending denosumab was sent separately to primary care, in addition to inclusion in the discharge summary. Following these interventions this project cycle was repeated. Results: A total of 91 patients with a neck of femur fracture were identified during cycle 1 and 22/91 (24%) were recommended denosumab. However, only five of these 22 patients (22%) received the drug. Following the interventions 23/26 eligible patients (88%) were prescribed denosumab (three patients did not have a prescription with no reason given), and 17/23 (74%) had the injection given. Four patients who did not receive the denosumab injection had no obvious reason for not starting treatment. In the other two patients, one discharge summary misleadingly stated that the injection had been given as an inpatient and one patient had recurrent admissions following discharge after their neck of femur fracture so primary care had not had any opportunity to administer the injection. Conclusions: Prescribing denosumab on the inpatient drug chart and highlighting its use in a consultant-written letter to the primary care team improved prescribing and administering of denosumab in the community.
Stranded traces: Migrants’ objects, self-narration and ideology in a failed museum project
Authors: Gatta Gianluca 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
The article will discuss the uneven path of the bottom-up Museum of Migration Project in Lampedusa, involving local and national associations, as well as the Town Council. In recounting this failed experience, this text will particularly try to grasp the use and ‘property’ of the objects and personal documents lost or taken away from migrants, the degree of involvement of the subjects directly concerned, and the ideological and political rifts that occurred around this project.
‘The Jenner genes definitely helped her’: Kardashians, Jenners and the intersectional politics of thinness
Authors: Cobb Gemma 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Pro-anorexia online spaces have received widespread criticism for their endorsement of anorexia nervosa via the posting of advice on self-starvation and images of thin models and celebrities known as ‘thinspiration’. They are considered marginal spaces for individuals who wish to maintain anorexia, and they are consequently subject to deletion and censorship by Internet moderators, and vilification by the Press. In spite of this, I suggest that their conception of thinness overlaps with that which is perpetuated by the mainstream media. Analysis of the representation of model and celebrity Kendall Jenner, who appears regularly in the mainstream media and pro-anorexia spaces alike, reveals this. Therefore, in this article, I interrogate the construction of the thin ideal in a celebrity gossip site’s discussion thread on Kendall. She is initially presented as the embodiment of ideal thinness through the castigation and othering of her Kardashian sisters who are cruelly derided. As the thread progresses however and Kendall grows up, she is gradually denied her thinspirational status. I argue that the veneration and denigration of Kendall Jenner exposes the transience of the thin ideal and its attendant anxieties. Using intersectionality as my critical paradigm, I explore the way in which a number of privileges are required to fulfil the thin ideal. As a result, I propose that it is young, middle-class, white femininity which is considered ‘thinspirational’.
Meso-celebrities, fashion and the media: How digital influencers struggle for visibility
Authors: Pedroni Marco 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
This article analyses the Italian field of fashion blogging in relation to the theme of celebrity, which is directly linked to the media visibility of bloggers. Relying on the concept of blogging as a social field in which many agents struggle for the symbolic dominance of space, the notions of micro-celebrity and celebrity are discussed. An intermediate category – that of meso-celebrity – is coined to identify a central portion of the field which comprises a few hundred bloggers characterized by a professional approach to blogging, by a structured relationship with the media and companies, and a visibility at national level. The meso-celebrities are described as occupying a position far from both the few celebrities in the field and the thousands of microcelebrities who live in the shadows of the web. Wendy Griswold’s cultural diamond is used to conclude that bloggers relate to diverse fields of cultural production at the same time (the fashion media, of which blogging is a sub-field; fashion production; the field of celebrity). Fashion bloggers work to promote themselves as commodities in those fields, with a level of success that depends on the amount of celebrity capital that they are able to accumulate. The social world created in and around the fashion blogging field is described as being permeated by a celebrity culture which is symbolically led by a small number of internationally renowned bloggers but is driven by the meso-celebrities. Meso-celebrity is finally described as a result of the gradual reciprocal adaptation between old and new fashion media, with the latter able to alter the practices of the former.
The unexpected body: From Sara Baartman to Caster Semenya
Authors: Orgeret Kristin Skare 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
The article draws lines between the historical example of Saartjie Baartman, the so-called Hottentot Venus, and the ‘Caster Semenya case’ – the 18-year old South African athlete who won the women’s 800 metres in the World Championship in 2009, and had to undergo ‘gender testing’. It looks into how the South African press covered the case of Semenya in the light of identity and power processes. How did the Semenya case feed into broader political and cultural processes in South Africa? The discussion shows how the concept of identity politics is multifaceted – covering issues such as sex, gender, ethnicity, colour, status and class while reflecting colonial as well as postcolonial realities.
Unsettling relations: Disrupting the ethical subject in fan studies research
Authors: Whiteman Natasha 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
This article takes as its focus the strategies by which ethical stances are established and legitimized in fan studies writing. It argues that, as a matter of ethics, such stances should always be placed under interrogation. This can be achieved by disrupting the entities that are often invoked in claims about what constitutes ethical practice in research – ones that may otherwise quickly become naturalized points of reference. Using as an exemplar Busse and Hellekson’s articulation of the ‘fans first’ principle, the article considers how ethical positions become sedimented and normalized within academic fields of practice. In doing so, the article develops some counter-principles for an ethical destabilization and (where necessary) dismantling of received ethical subjectivities in fan studies research.

An Uncommon Severe Case of Pulmonary Hypertension - From Genetic Testing to Benefits of Home Anticoagulation Monitoring
Authors: Varga Andreea , Țilea Ioan , Lazar Erzsebet , Negovan Anca Elena , Banescu Claudia , Tatar Maria Cristina 
Published: January 2017

AbstractA 62 year-old caucasian male was admitted in our pulmonary hypertension expert center with initial diagnosis of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease for validation and specific treatment approach. Routine examinations revealed no apparent cause of pulmonary hypertension. Patient was referred for a thorax contrast enhanced multi-slice computed tomography which revealed extensive bilateral thrombi in pulmonary lower lobe arteries, pleading for chronic post embolic lesions. A right heart catheterization and pulmonary angiography confirmed the diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Following the local regulations, the patient underwent thrombophilia screening including molecular genetic testing, with positive findings for heterozygous for VCORK1 -1639G>A gene single nucleotide polymorphism, PAI-1 4G/5G and factor II G20210A gene. With heterozygous genetic profile of 3 mutations he has a genetic predisposition for developing a thrombophilic disease which could be involved in the etiology of CTEPH. Familial screening was extended to descendants; the unique son was tested with positive results for the same three genes. Supportive pulmonary hypertension drug therapy was initiated together with patient self-monitoring management of oral anticoagulation therapy. For optimal control of targeted anticoagulation due to a very high risk of thrombotic state the patient used a point-of-care device (CoaguChek®XS System, Roche Diagnostics) for coagulation self-monitoring.
Wear Process Analysis of the Polytetrafluoroethylene/Kevlar Twill Fabric Based on the Components’ Distribution Characteristics
Authors: Gu Dapeng , Fan Bingli , Li Fei , Yang Yulin , Chen Suwen 
Published: January 2017

AbstractPolytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/Kevlar fabric or fabric composites with excellent tribological properties have been considered as important materials used in bearings and bushing, for years. The components’ (PTFE, Kevlar, and the gap between PTFE and Kevlar) distribution of the PTFE/Kevlar fabric is uneven due to the textile structure controlling the wear process and behavior. The components’ area ratio on the worn surface varying with the wear depth was analyzed not only by the wear experiment, but also by the theoretical calculations with our previous wear geometry model. The wear process and behavior of the PTFE/Kevlar twill fabric were investigated under dry sliding conditions against AISI 1045 steel by using a ring-on-plate tribometer. The morphologies of the worn surface were observed by the confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The wear process of the PTFE/Kevlar twill fabric was divided into five layers according to the distribution characteristics of Kevlar. It showed that the friction coefficients and wear rates changed with the wear depth, the order of the antiwear performance of the previous three layers was Layer III>Layer II>Layer I due to the area ratio variation of PTFE and Kevlar with the wear depth.
Studies on the process of recovering low-temperature waste heat from a flue gas in a pilot-scale plant
Authors: Szulc Piotr , Tietze Tomasz , Wójs Kazimierz 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
This paper presents studies carried out in a pilot-scale plant for recovery of waste heat from a flue gas which has been built in a lignite-fired power plant. The purpose of the studies was to check the operation of the heat recovery system in a pilot scale, while the purpose of the plant was recovery of waste heat from the flue gas in the form of hot water with a temperature of approx. 90 °C. The main part of the test rig was a condensing heat exchanger designed and built on the basis of laboratory tests conducted by the authors of this paper. Tests conducted on the pilot-scale plant concerned the thermal and flow parameters of the condensing heat exchanger as well as the impact of the volumetric flow rate of the flue gas and the cooling water on the heat flux recovered. Results show that the system with a condensing heat exchanger for recovery of low-temperature waste heat from the flue gas enables the recovery of much higher heat flux as compared with conventional systems without a condensing heat exchanger.
The Use of Computer Simulation Methods to
Reach Data for Economic Analysis of Automated
Logistic Systems
Authors: Neradilová Hana , Fedorko Gabriel 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Automated logistic systems are becoming more
widely used within enterprise logistics processes. Their
main advantage is that they allow increasing the efficiency
and reliability of logistics processes. In terms of evaluating
their effectiveness, it is necessary to take into account
the economic aspect of the entire process. However, many
users ignore and underestimate this area,which is not correct.
One of the reasons why the economic aspect is overlooked
is the fact that obtaining information for such an
analysis is not easy. The aim of this paper is to present the
possibilities of computer simulation methods for obtaining
data for full-scale economic analysis implementation.
Family Enterprise in Czech Civil Code
Authors: Janku Martin , Marek Karel 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
For more than two decades the family business enterprises of the first generation (generation of founders) are more and more dominating in the category of today’s small and medium–sized enterprises in the Czech Republic. The necessary legal background defining the legal relationships and rights of all participating persons was, however, limited to general provisions in the Commercial Code that has not solved many of the problems associated thereto. Only in 2012 the new Czech Civil Code, Act. No 89/2012 Coll., introduced the institute of family enterprise as completely new term in the Czech Civil law. The presented paper aims to analyse the key rules of this new legal regulation, focusing on significant aspects of the institute in the context of commercial law and family law, as well as, to highlight the potential weaknesses and gaps existing in the regulation.
Slovak Income Tax Legislation in Terms of EU Secondary Law Transposition
Authors: Krajčírová Renáta 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
The article deals with the integration process of implementation of European Union secondary law into the Slovak tax legislation. In particular, the article analyses whether provisions of (i) EU Parent Subsidiary Directive, (ii) EU Interest and Royalty Directive and (iii) EU Merger Directive are implemented into the Slovak Income Tax Act. Following our research, it should be noted that in general, the Slovak tax legislation has adopted the EU secondary law, in particular, the Parent Subsidiary and Interest and Royalty Directives have been implemented. It should be noted that the profit distributions are not subject to tax in Slovakia. It follows that interest and royalty are not subject to tax and is applicable to EU associated companies. Following the Slovak implementation of EU Merger Directive, merger transactions are generally treated as not giving rise to a capital gain. As a result, according to the Slovak Income Tax Act the income received by shareholders from acquiring new shares and income from exchange of the shares on merger transaction is not subject to income tax.
Rates of Return on Open-End Debt Investment Funds and Bank Deposits in Poland in the Years 1995–2015 – A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Dittmann Iwona 
Published: January 2017

AbstractThis paper presents the results of a comparison of the rates of return on specific open-end debt investment funds in Poland with the rates of return on bank deposits, in light of different time horizons. A comparative analysis was conducted based on the quartiles of the empirical distributions of the rates of return on selected funds and bank deposits. The empirical distributions were obtained using a moving window of observation. The results were largely influenced by very high interest rates on bank deposits in Poland in the years 1995–2001 (in the case of the oldest funds), and by the boom in the bond market in the years 2011–2012 (for the youngest funds). The investment horizon turned out to be significant. The best and worst funds were identified.

Published: January 2017

Abstract
In this study we apply the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) to approximate the solution of fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs) where the dynamic of system is a linear control system with constant coefficient and the cost functional is defined in a quadratic form. First we stated the necessary optimality conditions in a form of fractional two point boundary value problem (TPBVP), then the ADM is used to solve the resulting fractional differential equations (FDEs). Some examples are provided to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method.

AbstractThe criminal justice system in Pakistan operates imperfectly, although the aim of the Pakistan’s Criminal Law system is that no person is being convicted without all the elements but our System is not speedy and fast in disposal of cases then automatically innocent suffers. A failure of the justice system leaves people free but uncompensated. When a case has been decided after a lengthy trial and an individual acquit on merit by the judgment of concerned Court than upon release he did not receive any thing as compensation by the Criminal Justice System of Pakistan because System offers no mechanism for compensation. This article will discuss about wrongfully convicted persons in Pakistan’s Criminal Justice System and the reasons for their wrongful imprisonment and mechanism for compensation. In the end, conclusions and recommendations will be given on the same.

Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the experience and to identify the drivers of transforming traditional universities into Entrepreneurial Universities for ensuring sustainable higher education in Latvia. Due to the wide scope, Entrepreneurial University characteristics, the present research study is limited and focuses on the university providing access to students to business incubation facilities, relationships with business incubators for students, as well openness of university to collaboration and knowledge co-creation with its external stakeholders. Analyses of the experiences of universities of Latvia business incubators providing services to students, as well cooperation between higher education institutions (HEI) and local governments and entrepreneurs show that there is a positive trend. In opposite, such a trend can’t be observed towards building Entrepreneurial Universities in Latvia over the past 5 years. The results of the survey show that there is a need put higher efforts to assist young entrepreneurs in building cooperation networks and strengthening knowledge co-creation with external stakeholders.
Transboundary water management priorities in Central Asia countries – Tobol River case study in Kazakhstan
Authors: Yunussova Gulnara , Mosiej Józef 
Published: January 2017

AbstractChanges in transboundary water resources management in Central Asia brought the river pollution issue even more up to date than runoff and water distribution problems. This survey demonstrates that the analysis of river flow dynamics. Their water consumption and pollution makes it possible to prioritize these aspects of water management.As in the case of the Tobol-Torgay basin in Kazakhstan it was shown that for this type of basins. anthropogenic pollution remains a priority factor in transboundary water management. The Tobol River a tributary of the Ob and the Irtysh rivers belongs to the Kara Sea basin and is situated in the territory of Kazakhstan and Russia. Tobol-Torgay River basin located within borders of Kostanay region of Kazakhstan covers the upper reaches of the Tobol River and its tributaries. It has been determined that the water quality of the rivers in the region is stable for the decade under study and its formation remains due to natural factors. The priority contaminants in the basin are heavy metals and organic matter introduced by anthropogenic sources.The idea of the article was to present the issues of cross-border water management, one of the largest in terms of area countries in the world (ranked 9th in the world in terms of area), Kazakhstan. In the scientific community involved in water management Kazakhstan is usually associated with a catchment area of two large bodies without the possibility of outflow – the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea.
