Authors: Molinaro Francesco , Garzi Alfredo , Cerchia Elisa , Di Crescenzo Vincenzo Giuseppe , Luzzi Luca , Bulotta Anna Lavinia , Gotti Giuseppe , Messina Mario 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Congenital defects of the sternum are rare and due to a failure of midline development and fusion of the sternal bones. Surgical correction of a sternal cleft should be preferred during infancy for functional reasons. Chest wall reconstruction represented a complex problem in the last decades.
We report our successful outcome of sternal reconstruction in a rare case of PHACES syndrome, in which the patient was submitted to reconstruction of the sternum and complete closure of the thoracic defect by the employ of an extracellular matrix XCM Biologic tissue matrix.
We promote the use of extracellular matrix in surgical reconstruction of chest defects for its maneuverability, plasticity, tolerability and the possibility of growing with the children’s chest getting a good compliance and optimal cosmetic results.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
Three tricyclohexyltin salicylates, 3-X-5-Y-2-HOC6H2COOSn(C6H11-c)3 (where X, Y=H, H 1; H, NO2
2; NO2, NO2
3), have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR, and 1H NMR spectra. The crystal structures of compounds 1–3 are determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. In these compounds, the carboxylate is monodentate, and the tin atom adopts distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. In 2 and 3, the neighboring molecules are connected into a one-dimensional supramolecular chain by the intermolecular Sn···O weak interactions between tin and oxygen of nitro group. Bioassay results have shown that the compounds have good in vitro antibacterial activity against Escherichia
coli.
Does Grade Level Matter for the Assessment of Business Process Management Maturity?
Authors: Gabryelczyk Renata 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to create and test the practical application of a business process management maturity assessment conducted at two different grade levels (management and professional level) in an organization. The conceptual framework for this research includes creating a business process maturity indicator (BPMI) for six process areas: strategy, documentation, optimization, implementation, execution, and controlling. The comparative analysis of the business process management maturity is performed using the BPMI on two cases: inside a single organization and the sector internally.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
We investigated the distribution of several picophytoplankton groups (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and picoeukaryotes) in relation to a warm eddy in the northern South China Sea in summer 2012. An anticyclonic eddy centered on 117°E longitude was identified during the sampling period using satellite data and hydrologic mapping. The layer of maximum Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus abundance within the eddy core dropped from 50 to 75 m, which was consistent with the subsurface chlorophyll a maximum. The water-column integrated abundance of Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and picoeukaryotes in the eddy core (9.67±0.23, 1.56±0.04, and 0.28±0.01 × 103 cells ml-1, respectively) was significantly lower (P<0.05) than that of the reference stations (25.10±2.32, 2.71±0.63, and 0.92±0.15 × 103 cells ml-1, respectively), and the abundance of Prochlorococcus in the core was also significantly lower than that at eddy edges (15.75±1.78 × 103 cells ml-1). However, there were no differences in the water-column integrated Chl a between the eddy core and edge. Our findings show that the warm eddy led to the reduced picophytoplankton abundance, especially of Prochlorococcus and picoeukaryotes, causing the layer of maximum picophytoplankton abundance to differ from that of the subsurface Chl a maximum.
Partition of pentachlorophenol (PCP) into particulate and dissolved phases in the waters of the Vistula River mouth at the Gulf of Gdańsk
Authors: Kobusińska Marta E. , Witt Maria , Lewandowski Krzysztof , Niemirycz Elżbieta 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The Vistula River plays an important role in the supply of autochthonous and allochthonous material to the Gulf of Gdansk. The suspended particulate matter (SPM) of fluvial origin is considered to constitute a specific sorbent for halogenated organic compounds due to their lipophilic characteristics and relative solubility. Because there are many factors affecting the input of SPM into the estuarine environment of the Gulf of Gdansk, e.g. hydrological characteristics of the Vistula River, it became necessary to verify whether the same processes may affect a discharge of organic contaminants. The study presents an approach to the assessment of temporal trends in SPM concentration in the Vistula River discharged into the Gulf of Gdansk as well as the analysis of pentachlorophenol (PCP), a commonly used agricultural biocide, a precursor of dioxins in either dissolved or particulate phases in the river (the Vistula River) and sea waters (the Gulf of Gdansk). The study revealed that the hydrological characteristics appear to influence a load of SPM. However, the discharge of PCP is additionally related to the environmental conditions, physicochemical properties of the compound and the sorbent, affecting the partitioning of PCP into dissolved and particulate phases.
Narratives of Russia’s “Information Wars”
Authors: Kalinina Ekaterina 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Information warfare became a topic of a heated discussion with the advancement of the Russian state on the territory of the neighbouring Ukraine. Already forgotten since the collapse of the Soviet Union discourse about the Cold War made a rapid comeback into the media and public discourse creating confusion among readers. Hence, this article aims to clarify the relevant terminology when it comes to the use of information operations in Russia as well as to point out the importance of mediated narratives. By relying on Russian military thought, the article sheds some light on the importance of narratives such as: Russia-West confrontation and hybrid wars, Russian history and identity, and Russian patriotism.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
Pollutants in large amounts may not only cause severe health problems and damage crops, but may also represent one of the main causes of global warming. Air quality numerical models are very useful tools in forecasting air pollutants transport and spread. Consequently, this paper analyzes the regional concentration of PM10 (a geographical domain representative of Romania’s territory), by using the numerical air quality forecasting model: WRF-CHEM version 3.5. The respective model has been applied on a Romania-centered upon geographical area, for both the two months representative of the warm and cold seasons (June and January 2013, respectively), at a spatial resolution of 10 km, with a 24 hours’ anticipation. For the WRF-CHEM chemistry module to be initiated, values of PM10 emissions were extracted from the TNO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek, www.tno.nl) database for 2009. The meteorological parameters required by the weather forecast model were obtained from the numerical output of the ECMWF (www.ecmwf.int) global model. All these meteorological parameters are very important for air quality simulations, especially wind profiles, which are very important assessment tools since they determine where pollutants are transported, and air-temperature as it may largely influence the speed of chemical reactions in the atmosphere. The vertical diffusion is strongly linked to the height of the mixing layer and influences the exchange between the ground layers and the open troposphere. In order to highlight the quality of the numerical forecasts for PM10 from the WRF-CHEM model, the results obtained were compared to the measurements obtained through gravimetric methods (average daily values of PM10). Hence, specific measurements were provided by the National Environmental Protection Agency (ANPM).
Hydrodynamic Modeling on Suciu River (Maramures County)
Authors: Năsui Daniel , Paşca Adela , Ciurte Dan Lucian 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The GIS database containing the topographic and land use information was made in 2012, followed by field measurements surveys in 2013 and 2014. A number of 11 cross-sections were topographically apprised in the valley along the 11 km river reach. The geometric data requirements for the modeling software were prepared in ESRI’s ArcGIS™ 9.2 software using the HEC-GeoRAS extension. The steady flow data was edited in the HEC-RAS one-dimensional flow modeling software. Four scenarios were used for the river discharge, from normal to overflow. The results come in different forms, from tabular output, to stage hydrograph, to velocity distribution or 3D diagrams, all of which give a clear vision on the overflow high risk areas. The results were exported back to the GIS extension for additional spatial operations. Flow velocity maps were generated for each discharge scenario. Although the scenarios included very high discharge values, the flood impact on people assets is minimal. The reasons for this are the high slope of the riverbed and the proper placement in the floodplain, due mainly to the flood management works that took place after the 1970 flood.

Characteristics of the Land Degradation in the Stavnic River Basin
Authors: Puflea Suzana Mirela , Ioniţă Ion 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Located in the Central Moldavian Plateau, the Stavnic catchment is associated to a left tributary of the upper Barlad River, and extends on 21,341 ha of which 39% is under forest.
The typical hilly landforms, the alternation of permeable and impermeable rocks (clays, sands, loess-like deposits), the unrolling of wetted and dry periods, the sequence of freeze and thaw cycles, and the influence of the anthropogenic factor triggered the acceleration of land degradation processes. The present day geomorphic processes such as soil erosion, gullying, mass movements and silting of reservoirs represent a major threat to the local environment.
Soil erosion on the agricultural land covers mainly the land with slopes of over 5%, and it highlights through different stages of intensity. By data processing, gained from the soil surveys undertaken by O.J.S.P.A. Iasi and Vaslui, it is obviously that moderate-excessive soil erosion extends on 52% of the surveyed area.
The gully erosion apparently plays secondary role in the Stavnic catchment. However, there has been identified a total number of 330 gullies, most of them being included into discontinuous gullies class, often located on the hillslopes.
Landslides are the most representative geomorphologic processes and they extend on 12,006 ha, which represents 56% of the Stavnic catchment. One mention must be made, that in the context of climate aridisation occurred during the last three decades, the landslides are almost all stabilized. The majority of the few active landslides have frequently formed through the reactivation of the old landslide diluvia.
By using the Cesium-137 technique in dating the recent sediments from the Cazanesti accumulation, within the lower Stavnic catchment, the mean siltation rate of 4.5 cm yr-1 after the Chernobyl nuclear accident was estimated.
Incomplete descriptions and the underdetermination problem
Authors: Moldovan Andrei 
Published: June 2016

The purpose of this paper is to discuss two phenomena related to the semantics of definite descriptions: that of incomplete uses of descriptions, and that of the underdetermination of referential uses of descriptions. The Russellian theorist has a way of accounting for incomplete uses of descriptions by appealing to an account of quantifier domain restriction, such as the one proposed in Stanley and Szabó (2000a). But, I argue, the Russellian is not the only one in a position to appeal to such an account of incomplete uses of descriptions. Proponents of other theories, such as the Fregean, which does not treat descriptions as quantifiers, might benefit from this account of domain restriction. In the second part of the paper I discuss referential uses of incomplete definite descriptions. Relative to such uses, Wettstein (1981) and others have argued that the Russellian theory faces a problem of underdetermination of semantic content. Neale (2004) has replied to this objection showing why it does not pose a threat to the Russellian theory. Again, I argue that not only the Russellian, but also the Fregean can subscribe to Neale’s (2004) suggestion.
Post-Technokratie Prekäre Verantwortung in digitalen Kontexten
Authors: Dickel Sascha 
Published: June 2016

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag widmet sich einer Wissenssoziologie der Technokratie. Zunächst wird dafür die Architektur der technokratischen Semantik skizziert und in ihrer Funktionalität als De-Individualisierung von Verantwortung dechiffriert. Drei sozialstrukturelle Momente - ubiquitäre Technisierung, infrastrukturelle Zentralisierung und scharf asymmetrische Inklusionsordnungen - werden dabei als Nährboden der Technokratiesemantik herausgearbeitet. Es zeigt sich, dass Technokratie als Semantik in Zeiten digitaler Medien nicht mehr bruchlos funktioniert: Dystopien einer neuen Technokratie auf Basis ubiquitärer Technisierung im Kontext digitaler Medien stehen Utopien einer digitalen Emanzipation gegenüber, die sich auf Potentiale infrastruktureller Dezentralisierung und symmetrischer Inklusion berufen. Die diskursive Verflechtung utopisch-dystopischer Semantiken ist Indiz einer ambivalenten Subjektivierung im Spannungsfeld von Technik und Verantwortung. Der Beitrag schließt mit der These, dass sich die Genese einer post-technokratischen Verantwortungssemantik in digitalen Kontexten beobachten lasst, welche sich durch ein Oszillieren zwischen individueller Verantwortungsnegation und inflationärer individueller Verantwortungszuschreibung auszeichnet.
The limits of ignorance – financial literacy and the corporate responsibilization to the business of life
Authors: Højbjerg Erik 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
How do corporations seek to construe and mobilize responsible consumers by offering products and services, the consumption of which are assumed to transform the individual’s self-relationship along proclaimed ethical and political goals? In the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, increasing the financial literacy of ordinary citizen-consumers has taken a prominent position among regulators and financial institutions alike. The logic seems to be that financially capable individuals will enjoy social and political inclusion as well as an ability to exercise a stronger influence in markets. The article specifically contributes to our understanding of the governmentalization of the present by addressing how - at least in part - the corporate spread of financial literacy educational initiatives can be observed as a particular form of power at-a-distance responsibilizing the consumer. The focus is on the role of private enterprise in governmentalizing the business of life by establishing and mobilizing specific conceptual forms around which the life skills of the entrepreneurial self involves a responsibilization of the individual citizen-consumer.
Playful hyper-responsibility and the making of a performing audience
Authors: Andersen Niels Åkerstrøm , Knudsen Hanne 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The citizen is currently presumed to lack both the will to take responsibility and the imagination to see what his or her responsibility may include. This »lack of responsibility« becomes an object of intervention because function systems see themselves as depending on the citizens: The educational system sees itself as depending on the student to succeed in creating learning; the health system sees itself as depending on the patient to succeed in promoting health. Responsibility games are one method used to make citizens responsible. In this paper we argue that these games and other present welfare politics striving to increase personal responsibility do not simply increase responsibility, they have at least two important effects: 1. With responsibility games personal responsibility is no longer presumed, and the form of personal responsibility is dislocated into a form of playful hyper-responsibility. To be recognized as responsible, the citizen should go second order and reflect on and investigate his / her potential responsibilities. 2. Responsibility games redistribute the roles in the function systems as the traditional distinction between performance roles (e.g. doctor or teacher) and audience role (e.g. patient or student) is challenged by a new hybrid, »the performing audience« . The citizen is both an object of treatment and investigation, - with the professional as the expert - , and a performer, regarding him / herself through the eyes of the system in order to take responsibility.
Gesellschaftstheorie der Verantwortung. Funktion und Folgen eines Mechanismus der Reduktion sozialer Komplexität
Authors: Henkel Anna 
Published: June 2016

Zusammenfassung
Die im Folgenden angestellten Überlegungen gehen der Vermutung nach, dass eine aktuelle Ubiquität individueller Verantwortung als gesellschaftliches Krisensymptom gedeutet werden kann - einerseits werden Schaden tendenziell als Resultat eines individuell zu verantwortenden menschlichen Handelns auf den von diesem Schaden betroffenen Akteur zugerechnet, andererseits stehen solche unerwünschten Ereignisse zunehmend mit komplexen Systemdynamiken in Verbindung. Diese Entwicklung wird auf der Grundlage einer kursorischen Evidenz sowie einer Begriffsklärung von Verantwortung, Handlung und Erwartung gesellschaftstheoretisch verortet: Ausgangspunkt ist der Gedanke, dass in der modernen Gesellschaft Handlungsfähigkeit ausschließlich Menschen, dafür aber allen Menschen grundsätzlich zuerkannt wird. Dabei ist die sachlich-soziale Reichweite dieser Handlungsfähigkeit jedoch zunächst noch nach einem stratifizierten Muster differenziert. Diese Zurechnung von Verantwortung auf Personen wird als Mechanismus der Komplexitätsreduktion beobachtet und nachgezeichnet, wie der Bereich der in ihren Folgen zu verantwortenden Handlungen sachlich und sozial generalisiert wird. Abschließend wird diskutiert, wie mit der Konstellation umzugehen ist, dass einerseits die Zurechnung als Handlung auf Menschen in der modernen Gesellschaft unhintergehbar, andererseits eben jene Zurechnung zum Teil jedoch fragwürdig geworden ist.
(Neo-)Phänomenologie der Sportsucht. Eine theoretische und empirische Annäherung / Towards a (Neo-)Phenomenology of Exercise Addiction. A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis
Authors: Gugutzer Robert 
Published: June 2016

Zusammenfassung
Seit ihrem Aufkommen in den 1970er Jahren interessiert sich die Sportsuchtforschung vor allem für psychische und körperliche Ursachen und Auswirkungen sportsüchtigen Verhaltens. Darin spiegelt sich die Vorherrschaft von Psychologie und Medizin in diesem Forschungsfeld. Der Text ergänzt diese thematischen Schwerpunkte und disziplinären Ansätze der bisherigen Sportsuchtforschung, indem er die leiblichen und personalen Dimensionen sportsüchtigen Handelns und Erlebens in den Mittelpunkt rückt und dafür mit der Neuen Phänomenologie einen philosophischen Ansatz wählt. Damit betritt der Beitrag wissenschaftliches Neuland. Um das Erkenntnispotenzial dieser Phäno­menologie der Sportsucht zu verdeutlichen, erläutert der Text erstens die hierfür zentralen neophä­nomenologischen Konzepte ‚Leiblichkeit‘ und ‚Personalität‘, präsentiert zweitens daran anknüpfend Eckpunkte einer Neophänomenologie der Sportsucht, die drittens für eine empirische Einzelfallana­lyse genutzt werden.
Die Wettkampfteilnahme 17-jähriger Jugendlicher: Demografie oder Zustrom? / Participation of 17-Year-Olds in Sports Competitions: A Question of Demographics or Changing Demand?
Authors: Thieme Lutz 
Published: June 2016

Zusammenfassung
Mit Hilfe von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP), von Bevölkerungsdaten sowie DOSB-Bestandserhebungen werden die Teilnehmerzahlen von 17-Jährigen an Wettkämpfen für die Jahre 2000 bis 2012 nachgezeichnet und die Entwicklung bis 2020 prognostiziert. Entgegen moder­nisierungstheoretischen Annahmen und verbreiteten Auffassungen finden sich kein Rückgang des Zustroms zu Wettkämpfen und kein Bedeutungsverlust des organisierten Sports als Wettkampfan­bieter. Das Einstiegsalter in die Sportart, in der mit 17 Jahren an Wettkämpfen teilgenommen wird, hat sich in frühere Lebensjahre verschoben. Trotz bestehender Prognoseunsicherheiten ist in den kommenden Jahren ein starkes Absinken der Zahl der 17-jährigen Wettkampfteilnehmerinnen und -teilnehmer wenig wahrscheinlich.
