‘On the grammar of death’: the construal of death and killing in Colombian newspapers
Authors: García Marrugo Alexandra 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe aims of this paper are twofold. First, following Halliday’s 1998 paper ‘On the grammar of pain’, this study maps the lexicogrammatical resources available to Spanish speakers in the register of hard news to construe death and killing. Based primarily on a 250,000+ corpus of news reports of violent actions by illegal armed groups in the internal conflict from four major Colombian newspapers, it distinguishes between congruent and metaphorical construals of death, accounting for the different roles of the participants involved in these different types of constructions. In addition, it offers a topological perspective of the intersection of the more delicate distinction of process types and the system of Agency. The second objective is to apply these findings to contrast the construal of violence by the actors in the conflict, Marxist guerrillas and right wing paramilitaries. The results of the analysis show how the deployment of lexicogrammatical resources construes different semiotic spaces, highlighting the role of one group while diminishing the responsibility of the other.
Modelling low velocity impact induced damage in composite laminates
Authors: Shi Yu , Soutis Constantinos 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe paper presents recent progress on modelling low velocity impact induced damage in fibre reinforced composite laminates. It is important to understand the mechanisms of barely visible impact damage (BVID) and how it affects structural performance. To reduce labour intensive testing, the development of finite element (FE) techniques for simulating impact damage becomes essential and recent effort by the composites research community is reviewed in this work. The FE predicted damage initiation and propagation can be validated by Non Destructive Techniques (NDT) that gives confidence to the developed numerical damage models. A reliable damage simulation can assist the design process to optimise laminate configurations, reduce weight and improve performance of components and structures used in aircraft construction.
A key role for foxQ2 in anterior head and central brain patterning in insects
Authors: Kitzmann Peter , Weißkopf Matthias , Schacht Magdalena Ines , Bucher Gregor 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT
Anterior patterning of animals is based on a set of highly conserved transcription factors but the interactions within the protostome anterior gene regulatory network (aGRN) remain enigmatic. Here, we identify the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum ortholog of foxQ2 (Tc-foxQ2) as a novel upstream component of the aGRN. It is required for the development of the labrum and higher order brain structures, namely the central complex and the mushroom bodies. We reveal Tc-foxQ2 interactions by RNAi and heat shock-mediated misexpression. Surprisingly, Tc-foxQ2 and Tc-six3 mutually activate each other, forming a novel regulatory module at the top of the aGRN. Comparisons of our results with those of sea urchins and cnidarians suggest that foxQ2 has acquired more upstream functions in the aGRN during protostome evolution. Our findings expand the knowledge on foxQ2 gene function to include essential roles in epidermal development and central brain patterning.
IP6K1 is essential for chromatoid body formation and temporal regulation of Tnp2 and Prm2 expression in mouse spermatids
Authors: Malla Aushaq Bashir , Bhandari Rashna 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT
Inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6Ks) are enzymes that synthesise the inositol pyrophosphate 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5-IP7), which is known to regulate several physiological processes. Deletion of IP6K1, but not other IP6K isoforms, causes sterility in male mice. Here, we present a detailed investigation of the specific function of IP6K1 in spermatogenesis. Within the mouse testis, IP6K1 is expressed at high levels in late stage pachytene spermatocytes and in round spermatids. We found IP6K1 to be a novel component of the chromatoid body, a cytoplasmic granule found in round spermatids that is composed of RNA and RNA-binding proteins, and noted that this structure is absent in Ip6k1−/− round spermatids. Furthermore, juvenile spermatids from Ip6k1−/− mice display premature expression of the transition protein TNP2 and the protamine PRM2 due to translational derepression. The aberrant localisation of these key sperm-specific chromatin components, together with the persistence of somatic histones, results in abnormal spermatid elongation, failure to complete spermatid differentiation and azoospermia in these mice. Our study thus identifies IP6K1 as an indispensable factor in the temporal regulation of male germ cell differentiation.

ABSTRACT
Chromatin modification is traditionally assessed in biochemical assays that provide average measurements of static events given that the analysis requires components from many cells. Microscopy can visualize single cells, but the cell body and organelles can hamper staining and visualization of the nucleus. Normally, chromatin is visualized by immunostaining a fixed sample or by expressing exogenous fluorescently tagged proteins in a live cell. Alternative microscopy tools to observe changes of endogenous chromatin in real-time are needed. Here, we isolated transcriptionally competent nuclei from cells and used antibody staining without fixation to visualize changes in endogenous chromatin. This method allows the real-time addition of drugs and fluorescent probes to one or more nuclei while under microscopy observation. A high-resolution map of 11 endogenous nuclear markers of the histone code, transcription machinery and architecture was obtained in transcriptionally active nuclei by performing confocal and structured illumination microscopy. We detected changes in chromatin modification and localization at the single-nucleus level after inhibition of histone deacetylation. Applications in the study of RNA transcription, viral protein function and nuclear architecture are presented.

Catalytic Nitrogen Fixation via Direct Cleavage of Nitrogen–Nitrogen Triple Bond of Molecular Dinitrogen under Ambient Reaction Conditions
Authors: Arashiba Kazuya , Eizawa Aya , Tanaka Hiromasa , Nakajima Kazunari , Yoshizawa Kazunari , Nishibayashi Yoshiaki 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
We have now found that molybdenum–iodide complexes bearing a PNP-pincer ligand have a higher catalytic activity than the so far reported molybdenum–dinitrogen complexes for ammonia formation from nitrogen gas under ambient reaction conditions, up to 830 equiv being produced based on a dinitrogen-bridged dimolybdenum complex (415 equiv of ammonia based on the molybdenum atom). This remarkable catalytic activity is induced by a novel reaction pathway, where the generation of a dinitrogen-bridged dimolybdenum–iodide complex is a key point to promote direct cleavage of the nitrogen–nitrogen triple bond of the bridging dinitrogen ligand in the Mo–N≡N–Mo core.
La dimensión territorial de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona en un contexto metropolitano: un análisis documental de los planes directores y el proyecto de Campus de Excelencia Internacional (UAB-CEI)
Authors: Arcos Garrido María Isabel , Miralles-Guasch Carme 
Published: July 2017

En el contexto actual de sociedad global y del conocimiento, la universidad ha intensificado su colaboración en el territorio hasta obtener un papel destacado en el desarrollo de las regiones. Actualmente, la universidad contribuye a la internacionalización del territorio en el cual se establece, a partir de la influencia que ésta tiene en los diferentes aspectos de la realidad socioeconómica. Ante este contexto, la universidad forma parte de la sociedad y, como tal, tiene que encontrar y propiciar nuevos espacios emergentes donde se consoliden las relaciones con otras instituciones y organismos. Nuevas relaciones que hacen plantear una nueva tercera misión dirigida al compromiso directo de la universidad con su entorno social y económico. Ante esta nueva lógica territorial, el presente artículo presenta una reflexión de la dimensión territorial de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona a través del análisis del Plan Director 2010- 2012 y el contexto de Campus de Excelencia Internacional en el que se enmarca. El objetivo es demostrar si la estrategia universitaria de la UAB responde a las nuevas necesidades territorialesque exige el nuevo contexto socioeconómico y, si como resultado, la Universidad es considerada un nodo territorial integrado en la Barcelona metropolitana.
Bargaining Frictions in Trading Networks
Authors: Polanski Arnold , Vega-Redondo Fernando 
Published: July 2017

AbstractIn the canonical model of frictionless markets, arbitrage is usually taken to force all trades of homogeneous goods to occur at essentially the same price. In the real world, however, arbitrage possibilities are often severely restricted and this may lead to substantial price heterogeneity. Here we focus on frictions that can be modeled as the bargaining constraints induced by an incomplete trading network. In this context, the interplay among the architecture of the trading network, the buyers’ valuations, and the sellers’ costs shapes the effective arbitrage possibilities of the economy. We characterize the configurations that, at an intertemporal bargaining equilibrium, lead to a uniform price. Conceptually, this characterization involves studying how the network positions and valuations/costs of any given set of buyers and sellers affect their collective bargaining power relative to a notional or benchmark situation in which the connectivity is complete. Mathematically, the characterizing conditions can be understood as price-based counterparts of those identified by the celebrated Marriage Theorem in matching theory.
The Constitutionalization of International Law and the Challenge of Non-State Actors
Authors: Kassoti Eva 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The article examines how international constitutionalism has come to grips with the phenomenon of informal law-making by non-State actors. The article identifies two opposing trends within the constitutionalist camp in relation to the question of actor informality. The first strand argues that all normative utterances should be presumed to give rise to law, irrespective of authorship (‘presumptive law thesis’). The presumptive law thesis is discussed and rejected on the ground that it rests on a model of participation in decision-making that dramatically departs from the existing one. The article continues by exploring the second strand of constitutionalism, which advocates in favour of retaining the distinction between direct and indirect participation in international decision-making (’the formal/informal participation model’). It is argued that, while this strand of constitutionalism is convincing at the descriptive level, it does not really add much to our existing knowledge. The last part of the article addresses the meta-question of the added value of analysing the phenomenon of actor informality through the lens of constitutionalism. It is argued that, despite its shortcomings, the constitutionalist project bravely attempts to frame the inherently political debate on global governance in legal terms, thereby attesting to the continuing relevance of international law as a regulatory mechanism in modern international relations.
Constitutional Court of Romania: The Constitutionality of the Citizens’ Initiative for the Revision of Article 48 (1) of the Constitution (‘Family’)
Authors: Safta Marieta 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The Constitutional Court found that Article 48 of the Constitution of Romania enshrines and guarantees the right to marriage and family relations resulting from marriage, apart from the right to family life/respect for and protection of family life, a concept with a much broader legal content, which is also embodied and protected by Article 26 of the Constitution. Insofar the analysis is limited solely to the scope of the right to marriage, the proposed amendment of Article 48 of the Constitution, ie replacement of the words ‘of the spouses’ with the words ‘between a man and a woman’, constitutes a mere indication as regards the exercise of the fundamental right to marriage, namely the specific determination of the fact that marriage is concluded between partners of different biological sex. The amendment proposed is not likely cause the disappearance, removal, deletion or cancellation of the concept of marriage. Furthermore, the safeguards of the right to marriage, as enshrined in the constitutional text of reference in its original form, remain unchanged. Therefore, the initiative for revision of the Constitution is constitutional in respect of the provisions of Article 152 of the Constitution, as it does not remove the right to marriage or the safeguards thereof and it does not bring into question any other limit on matters of revision.
Global Values and the Institutions of the United Nations
Authors: Spijkers Otto 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
A constitution defines the values of a particular community, and establishes institutions to realize these values. In defence of the argument that the United Nations Charter is the world’s constitution, I will try to show that it contains the shared values and norms of the international community, and that the UN’s organs are tasked with the promotion and protection of the shared values and norms as defined in the UN Charter. The focus is on the values of human dignity and peace and security.
Austrian Constitutional Court: The Presumed Biological Father’s Position in Contact Proceedings
Authors: Cede-Lugstein Katharina 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Pursuant § 188 para 2 of the Austrian Civil Code (Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, hereinafter: ABGB), a third person can be entitled to access to a child if this is in the child’s best interest. A court has to grant access to the child upon request of the child, the child’s parents or a third person, provided the latter has or had a genuine social or family relationship with the child. Upon request of an individual to repeal parts of this provision the Constitutional Court held that there was no violation of the rights guaranteed under Article 8 ECHR.
An Optimized Face Recognition System Using Cuckoo Search
Authors: Malhotra Preeti , Kumar Dinesh 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The development of an effective and efficient face recognition system has always been a challenging task for researchers. In a face recognition system, feature selection is one of the most vital processes to achieve maximum accuracy by removing irrelevant and superfluous data. Many optimization techniques, such as particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization, etc., have been implemented in face recognition systems mainly based on two feature extraction methods: discrete cosine transform (DCT) and principal component analysis (PCA). In this research, a nature-inspired well-known algorithm, namely cuckoo search, has been implemented for face recognition. Further, a hybrid method consisting of DCT and PCA is applied to extract the various features by which recognition can be made with a high rate of accuracy. To validate the proposed methodology, the results are also compared with the existing methodologies, such as PSO, differential evolution, and GA.
Liability for Damage Caused at the Pursuit of Financial Advisory
Authors: Slezáková Andrea 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The Act No 186/2009 Coll. on financial intermediation and financial advisory and on amendments and supplements to certain laws is reflecting on the topic of liability. It is incorporating provisions about the liability for damage at the pursuit of financial advisory. The attention is being paid to the liability for damage caused to the professional or non-professional client at the pursuit of financial advisory. In accordance with the element of the liability legal relationship, the subjective aspect, the liability for damage caused at the pursuit of financial advisory represents a subjective liability, where fault is necessary. Our proposal de lege ferenda is the introduction of strict liability for damage caused at the pursuit of financial advisory.

Este artículo plantea el derecho de defensa como una parte sustancial a las partes que se encuentren involucradas en el sistema penal, y analiza el riesgo de que se emprenda de manera deficiente sin un conocimiento dogmático y procesal, a lo que podría devenir un “efecto boomerang” para cualquier sujeto de derecho, por lo cual, es fundamental definir y comprender lo que es el derecho de defensa, su adecuada regulación tanto en el derecho sustantivo como en el derecho adjetivo, su relación consubstancial a las partes involucradas, la importancia de una defensa técnica y la inviolabilidad de la defensa que deben prevalecer en un proceso penal democrático.
La reforma constitucional de 2012 y 2014 en materia de sustitución del presidente de la república es inconsistente
Authors: Garrido del Toral Andrés 
Published: July 2017

El Poder Constituyente Permanente de México aprobó en 2012 varias alteraciones al sistema de sustitución por faltas temporales y absolutas del Ejecutivo de la Unión, introduciendo preceptos nuevos que vienen a llenar vacíos legales constitucionales que tuvimos desde 1917, como el caso de que el secretario de Gobernación se convierta en presidente provisional hasta por sesenta días en caso de faltas temporales o absolutas del presidente en turno; o que si el presidente electo no se presentara de manera definitiva a protestar el cargo se erija como encargado del Ejecutivo federal al presidente del Senado de la República y, finalmente, que si el presidente electo no pudiera rendir protesta ante el Congreso General lo pueda hacer ante las mesas directivas de cada una de las cámaras, juntas, o en su defecto ante el presidente de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación.Todo eso está bien, pero en su afán reformador —al igual que en las reformas más recientes del 2 de febrero de 2014—, no dejaron claros varios puntos importantes que definitivamente no contestan a la letra varias interrogantes que dejan vulnerable a la ingeniería constitucional mexicana.
