Authors: Totsev Nachko I. , Andreev Tihomir V. , Danovska Maya P. , Ovcharov Mladen E. 
Published: December 2016

Summary
The majority - over 80%, of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are supratentorial. The infratentorial AVM are uncommon and different from other intracranial AVMs in terms of history, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and follow up. The authors present a case of an intracranial hemorrhage, caused by rupture of an AVM in the posterior cranial fossa. Native (unenhanced) CT and computed tomography angiography (CTA) images of this rare location of AVM are presented.
Internal Incarceration of Left Paraduodenal Hernia with Necrosis of Proximal Jejunum and Atypical Reconstruction of the Passage: A Case Report
Authors: Tonchev Pentcho T. , Iliev Sergei D. , Presolski Ivailo M. 
Published: December 2016

Summary
Internal hernias are rare and most of them are diagnosed intraoperatively. We present a case of a 53-year-old man with proximal intestinal obstruction, caused by incarcerated internal hernia. During the operation, a proximal portion of 40 cm of the jejunum was found herniated and strangulated in the lesser sac through an opening of the transverse mesocolon. The jejunum was necrotic and local purulent peritonitis was present. After resection of the proximal 40 cm of the jejunum, the passage was restored using an unconventional approach. The distal duodenum was closed and, to protect the stump, the duodenum was ligated between its second and third parts. A latero-lateral anastomosis was made between the first part of duodenum and the jejunum. Anatomical, clinical and radiological findings, diagnosis and treatment of paraduodenal hernias are discussed in brief.

Summary
Administration of antiplatelet therapy Aspirin and Clopidogrel (CLP) is a corner stone inpatients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with/without stent implantation. The CYP2C19*2 allele is the most important genetic variant determining response to CLP. We aim to investigate frequency of CYP2C19*2 polymorphism in patients with ACS and significance for the individual response to CLP therapy. The preliminary data of a study including a total of 120 patients with ACS undergoing PCI with stent placement and treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (CLP and Aspirin) are presented. So far 18 patients (41-81 year age) are tested for CYP2C19*l/*2 polymorphisms. The genotype CYP2C19*1/*1; CYP2C19*l/*2 and CYP2C19*2/*2 is demonstrated in 50%, 33%, 17% respectively, of the patients. The established frequency of CYP2C 19*2 allele (33%) is significantly higher (x2=5.220; p=0.022) than in healthy Bulgarian individuals (16%). In-stent thrombosis have developed 3 (17%) of patients: 2 are C YP2C19* l/*2 carriers, and 1 - homozygous CYP2C19*2/*2. The preliminary data demonstrate high prevalence of CYP2C19*2 polymorphism in patients with ACS and point to significance of the variant for CLP therapy. Further extension of the study with larger samples and monitoring of the patients are required to determine the effects of the polymorphism on the prognosis for major adverse cardiovascular events.
Reducing Illicit Methamphetamine Labs: Is Precursor Control the Answer?
Authors: Coleman John J. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractReducing illicit methamphetamine (meth) labs poses many unique challenges. For more than 30 years, the government’s strategy has relied on controlling certain chemicals and precursors used by amateur chemists (called “cooks”) to make meth. Some states have pursued additional controls, including, for example, requiring prescriptions for popular drug products that can be used as meth precursors. In this paper we review the government’s anti-meth strategies and assess their effectiveness. Our findings suggest that, historically, precursor controls have caused only limited and temporary disruptions in meth production because cooks are quick to adapt and use alternate methods for making meth. Our data review uncovered limitations in a national database that has been used for more than a decade by federal and state agencies to track meth production and formulate anti-meth strategies. The continued use of these data, we conclude, has contributed to wasteful federal spending that, in turn, has distorted the scope and nature of the domestic meth lab problem.
L’influence de la Confessionnalisation dans les premiers moments de la révolte des Pays-Bas
Authors: Hortal Muñoz José Eloy 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The process of Confessionalization followed by Philip II was limited to the control of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction in his kingdoms and the justification of its politics for religious reasons. This attitude forced the papacy to follow the political and religious interests of the Spanish monarchy during the second half of the XVIth century, albeit against its will. This politic was supported at the Spanish Court by the “castellanist” faction, headed by the IIId duke of Alba, which imposed its ideas over the contrary “ebolist” one around 1565. Due to this, Philip II decided that the “Gran Duque” was the adequate person to appease the complicated situation of the Habsburg Netherlands, imposing at those lands the ideas related with the Confessionalization that he supported and that Granvelle had started to apply. To achieve the objective, Alba used different tools, like the shape of the new bishoprics created by the Super Universas bull of 1559, the Conseils des Troubles, the imposition of the alcabala, the application of the tridentine decrees, the concesion of rewards or the Perdón General. Nonetheless, as we know, this politic was a fiasco, because Alba was not able to obtain enough supports neither at the Brussels Court nor at the Madrid one.
The Legacy of a Strasbourg Preacher
Authors: Ittzés Gábor 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Basilius Faber’s Vnterrichtungen von den letzten Hendeln der Welt (1564) was one of the great publishing successes of the sixteenth century. Starting from the fifth edition (1569), a semi-independent tract was published with it on the departed souls’ immortality and state. That Tractetlein exhibits remarkable parallels with Part 3 of Vom Leiblichen Todt (1560) by Strasbourg theologian Melchior Specker. On the basis of close structural, thematic, and textual analysis it is argued that Faber was indeed heavily relying on Specker’s work, hardly known today. Their connection throws light on Faber’s specific achievement in reworking his source material, can serve as a case study of early modern literary borrowing, and clears the way to further research on the origins of the Lutheran doctrine of individual eschatology in the early confessional age.
Francis Lucas ‘of Bruges’ and Textual Criticism of the Vulgate Before and After the Sixto-Clementine (1592)
Authors: Gerace Antonio 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
This article deals with to the little known but very influential Leuven biblical scholar Francis Lucas ‘of Bruges’ (1548/9–1619). In particular, it traces the change of methodology in Lucas’ textual critical activity, due to publishing of the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate (1592), intended by the Vatican as the definitive text of the Vulgate. The author shows how Lucas was a realist and adapted his scholarly activities in the field of textual criticism to the contemporary ecclesiastical policies and sensitivities through the analysis of Lucas’ works.
“Esse redimendum sepulchrum dominicum per Fridricum imperatorem”
Authors: Giardini Marco 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
In a passage from De abroganda missa private, Frederick the Wise was celebrated by Luther as the one who made possible the liberation of the “Holy Sepulchre” of the Scriptures, held captive by “papists”. In doing so, the German reformer drew from the ancient eschatological prophecy of the “Last World Emperor”, originated in the Syriac environments of the seventh century, rapidly spread in Latin Christianity during the Middle Ages. Since the death of Frederick II, numerous versions and adaptations of this prophecy scattered all over the Empire and announced the advent of a “Third Frederick”, who was supposed to emerge from darkness and complete the Church Reformation set up by the Swabian emperor but never accomplished because of his sudden and unexpected disappearance and the utter hostility of the Popes. The article sheds light on the developments of this prophecy from the Late Middle Ages up to the Reformation writings of sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
A Woman Printer and Her Readers in Early Modern Transylvania
Authors: Czintos Emese 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The printing press of Gáspár Heltai had an outstanding role in the popularization of the epic in verse (históriás ének), the most popular secular and vernacular literary genre of sixteenth century Hungarian literature, especially in the period when the press was taken over by the widow of the notable priest and printer. The paper treats the publishing activity Gáspár Heltai’s widow in comparison with her husband’s, based on the output of epic in verse of this printing press, investigating the reasons behind their changing agendas. The printing policies of the two printers are presented in a successive as well as a comparative approach, highlighting both the differences between, and the continuity of, their activity. The discussion of Mrs Heltai’s enterprise also fills a gap in the history of Hungarian typography, as long as the operation of the press after Heltai’s death is quite sketchily known. The paper also argues that Mrs Heltai was a successful businesswoman, while it also examines the possible audience of her many historical songs, hypothesizing about a possible female audience. Finally, the paper includes a brief overview of the afterlife of the Heltai-typography in the seventeenth century, trying to explain the decline of the genre.

Abstract

Aims:
Severe preterm fetal growth restriction (FGR) remote from term is problematic. We aimed to investigate the effect of maternally-administered antithrombin on maternal and neonatal outcomes. A prospective, one-arm, pilot study was performed in 14 women with severe FGR (≤5th centile) at <28 weeks of gestation, without hypertensive disorders. Maternal plasma concentrations of soluble Feline McDonough Sarcoma (FMS)-like trypsin kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) were measured and categorized into three groups: group 1; low sFlt-1 and high PlGF, group 2; moderate sFlt-1 and low PlGF, and group 3; high sFlt-1 and low PlGF. Antithrombin was administered for 3 days. The incidence of perinatal mortality, infant morbidity, and the period of pregnancy prolongation were compared.

Results:
In group 1 (n=4), their pregnancies were extended for longer periods and the maternal and infant outcomes were good. The prolongation periods were shorter in groups 2 (n=3) and 3 (n=7), which resulted in poor maternal [severe preeclampsia or hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome] and infant outcomes.

Conclusions:
The evaluation of the maternal sFlt-1 and PlGF at 21–27 weeks of gestation is useful in the managements of severe FGR. Antithrombin treatment could prolong the pregnancies with low sFlt-1 and high PlGF without negatively affecting maternal or fetal health.
Developing Legislation to Formalise Customary Land Management: Deep Legal Pluralism or a Shallow Veneer?
Authors: Farran Sue , Corrin Jennifer 
Published: December 2016

AbstractOne of the many post-colonial claims of indigenous people is the re-assertion of their rights over their land and its resources. Colonial history has created for many people a plural legal system and this, combined with social and economic changes, presents new challenges for development in the realm of traditional or customary land. This article focuses on the Pacific island state of Vanuatu, formerly known as the New Hebrides. At independence in 1980 allodial title to all land was returned to the custom owners while colonial forms of land law were also retained. In 2013, after nearly a decade of concern about land alienation, the Vanuatu government introduced the Custom Land Management Act. This article critically analyses this attempt to safeguard customary law and customary institutions in formal, written law, considering in particular the implications for law and development in a plural land law regime.
AFM studies of pits formation on KBr(1 0 0) during its dissolution by water
Authors: Pers Justyna , Barwiński Bogdan , Grodzicki Miłosz , Ciszewski Antoni 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThe formation of etch pits along screw dislocations on KBr(1 0 0) surface during its dissolution by water is investigated by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Clean KBr(1 0 0) is obtained by cleavage. A weak solution of water in isopropyl alcohol is used to investigate the etching in real time. Observations of the etch pit evolution with etching time show that concentration of atomic steps on the pit walls and dissolution rate of the walls vary up to complete dissolution of the screw dislocation. The screw dislocation removal stabilizes the dissolution, resulting in constant values of atomic steps concentration on the pit walls and their dissolution rate during further etching, which continues according to the crystal dissolution stepwave model. It was found that the movement of AFM scanning tip essentially affected the etching process.
Investigation of optical properties of silicon oxynitride films deposited by RF PECVD method
Authors: Kijaszek Wojciech , Oleszkiewicz Waldemar , Zakrzewski Adrian , Patela Sergiusz , Tłaczała Marek 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
In this study, the authors deposited silicon oxynitride films by Radio Frequency Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (RF PECVD) method. The research explores the relationship between the deposition process parameters and the optical properties of the deposited SiOxNy films. The optical constants of SiOxNy films were measured and calculated by spectroscopic ellipsometry method. Additionally, the authors investigated the possibility of controlling the deposited film composition by the flow ratio of different gaseous precursors: ammonia (NH3), diluted silane (2%SiH4/98%N2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitrogen (N2). The gas mixture introduced to the working chamber during the growth of the film has the influence on the Si–O and Si–N bonds formation and the ratio between these bonds determines the refractive index of the deposited film.
InP nanowires quality control using SEM and Raman spectroscopy
Authors: Grodecki K. , Dumiszewska E. , Romaniec M. , Strupinski W. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThree different types of samples of InP nanowires, i.e. undoped, doped with Si and doped with Te, were grown and measured using SEM and Raman spectroscopy. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images showed differences in the length, homogeneity and curvature of the nanowires. The most homogenous wires, grown most perpendicular to the surface, were those Si doped. They were also the shortest. Raman spectroscopy showed that the nanowires doped with Si had the lowest Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) TO band, which suggests the highest crystal quality of these wires. For the wires doped with Te, which were the most inhomogeneous, a low energy acoustic band was also observed, which suggests the lowest crystal quality of these structures.

English psych verbs and the causative alternation: A case study in the history of English
Authors: Alexiadou Artemis 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThis paper discusses the absence of the causative alternation with psych predicates in English from a comparative perspective. It argues that English lacks the psych causative alternation due to a combination of factors that have been pointed out independently in the literature, but not discussed in the context of the literature on the causative alternation in the non-psych domain: i) several object experiencer predicates got reanalyzed as subject experiencer verbs, ii) English borrowed new object experiencer predicates from verb classes that do not participate in the causative alternation, and ii) the v as well as the Voice layer of English that participated in the building of these verbs were also affected by changes in their properties.
What can psycholinguistic research on word class ambiguities tell us about categories?
Authors: Błaszczak Joanna , Klimek-Jankowska Dorota 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
This paper is a contribution to a long-standing debate between constructionist, lexicalist, and emergentist schools of thought related to the question of what determines the category of lexically ambiguous words whose meanings belong to different syntactic categories (e.g., duck, walk). In the lexicalist view part-of-speech information is stored in the mental lexicon. According to the syntax-first (or constructionist) view, the ambiguous word is assigned to the syntactic category NOUN or VERB solely on the basis of the morphosyntactic frame in which it occurs irrespective of its meaning. In contrast, the emergentist view assumes an interaction of many constraints (semantic and syntactic) whereby semantic constraints are weaker than syntactic constraints in the resolution of word class ambiguities because while semantic context only favors one of the meanings of ambiguous words but does not exclude the competitors, syntactic context supports one meaning of an ambiguous word by ruling out its alternative interpretation. We intend to provide an overview of recent psycholinguistic studies focusing on the processing of word-class ambiguities in order to show that the syntax-first approach is too restrictive while the emergentist view is too permissive. What seems to be at issue is that when grammatical category-ambiguous words are processed, it is not that all constraints are available at the same time and they compete but rather different sources of information can be predicted to affect the process of lexical disambiguation at different stages during processing.
Extraction out of adjectival secondary predicates in English and Spanish: A nanosyntactic account
Authors: Fábregas Antonio , Jiménez-Fernández Ángel L. 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
In this article, we explore the conditions under which prima facie adjectival adjuncts projected as depictive modifiers inside verbal phrases allow extraction. Building on the analysis of gerund clauses proposed in Fábregas and Jiménez-Fernández (in press), we argue that their empirical behaviour shows that, whenever these adjectival constituents license extraction, they are projections of PathP that form a verbal complex with the verb inside a single syntactic domain. This forces the conclusion that adjunct adjectives must be projected as PathPs, and in the last part of the paper we show that this proposal in fact explains two properties of these elements without further stipulations: they always receive a stage level interpretation, and cannot combine with pure stative verbs.
Perfect usage across languages
Authors: Swart Henriëtte de 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The PERFECT constitutes a puzzling category for typologists, historical linguists and formal semanticists alike. Is it a tense? Is it an aspect? Which grammatical forms qualify as PERFECTS? What is the core of the PERFECT meaning? This short paper suggests that progress can be made if we start using the wealth of digitized language data that has become available to uncover the semantics of the PERFECT through its contextual usages across languages.
On inchoative states. Evidence from modification of Polish perfective psych verbs by degree quantifiers
Authors: Willim Ewa 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The special properties that psych(ological) verbs manifest cross-linguistically have given rise to on-going debates in syntactic and semantic theorizing. Regarding their lexical aspect classification, while verbal psych predicates with the Experiencer argument mapped onto the subject (SE psych predicates) have generally been analyzed as stative, there is little agreement on what kinds of eventualities object Experiencer (OE) psych predicates describe. On the stative reading, OE psych predicates have been classified as atelic causative states. On the (non-agentive) eventive reading, they have been widely analyzed as telic change of state predicates and classified as achievements or as accomplishments. Based on Polish, Rozwadowska (2003, 2012) argues that nonagentive eventive OE psych predicates in the perfective aspect denote an onset of a state and that they are atelic rather than telic. This paper offers further support for the view that Polish perfective psych verbs do not denote a change of state, i.e., a transition from α to ¬α. The evidence is drawn from verbal comparison and the distribution of the comparative degree quantifier jeszcze bardziej ‘even more’ in perfective psych predicates. It is argued here that in contexts including jeszcze bardziej ‘even more’, the perfective predication denotes an onset of a state whose degree of intensity exceeds the comparative standard. While a degree quantifier attached to the VP in the syntax contributes a differential measure function that returns a (vague) value representing the degree to which the intensity of the Experiencer’s state exceeds the comparative standard in the event, it does not affect the event structure of the perfective verb and it does not provide the VP denotation it modifies with a final endpoint. As the perfective picks the onset of an upper open state, perfective psych predicates typically give rise to an atelic interpretation.
