Published: October 2016

Key factors of historical development of mankind at the present stage are the science and technical progress. On the basis of the analysis of approaches in understanding of science and technical progress an attempt of modern judgment of scientific and technical progress which is more oriented to requirements and interests of the specific person acting as the main consumer of progress is made. Besides, requirements serve as incentives which determine a vector and speed of development of scientific and technical progress.
Modern largescale technical progress leads to emergence of the most various ethical problems worldwide. However in relation to People&#180;s Republic of China ethical problems of technical progress have some features. They are connected first of all with the fact that technical progress not only cardinally changes the tenor of life of huge number of people which developed in millennia, but also calls into question the traditional principles of management of society.
Within preparation of a personnel (intellectual) resource the undoubted positive fact is stability of high level of training with use of new approaches to train-ing.

For today the problem of man and nature unity and also social ecology under conditions of crisis aggravation takes on special significance. The problem in comprehension of the harmonic interaction between nature and man is a task which the mankind solves in the course of its history of cultural selfknowledge.
A technosphere created artificially by the end of the XX-th century became adequate to the earth’s biosphere. It is human activity that aggravated all existing ecological problems forced to form a hierarchy of values acting in the society.
The paper reports the methods to solve the problems of ecological safety by the example of the People’s Republic of China.
A current state of ecological environment in China is one of the urgent problems facing the country responsible for people’s health. The reason in ecological situation worsening in China depends on a number of factors: soil erosion, environment pollution with waste products, air pollution, noise pollution and so on.
In order to stop worsening an ecological situation in China it is necessary to take measures immediately for ecology protection.

Published: October 2016

Modern economic institutes, in particular, insti-tutes of stateprivate partnership and insolvency and their influence upon ensuring a stable qualitative de-velopment of national economy are under consideration.
Institutes come out as fundamental factors of functioning economic systems in long-term and me-dium-term prospects. Market forces cannot function efficiently in inadequate and uncontrollable environ-ment inasmuch as the operation of such forces is contradictory and frequently couterproductive.
Under a stateprivate partnership is understood a system of relations between a state sector (state or municipal authorities) and a private sector (business) legally and institutionally secured with the purpose of the development of socially and strategically meaningful branches of national economy to protect social interests and to increase competitiveness of industrial enterprises at the heart of which underlying principles of equal rights, rational partnership, distribution of risks and proceeds, joint operations of state and private sectors.
The institution of insolvency (bankruptcy) is one of the most complicated institutions of market (mixed) economy as it combines in itself the compo-nents of cost-effectiveness and social trend.
Russia must have effective economic institu-tions including those of state-private partnership and insolvency (bankruptcy) for the transition from a model of an overtaking growth to the model of advanced development.

The problems of control and evaluation of higher education quality (training of highly qualified staff) are under consideration. Quality in the training of post graduate students, certainly, depends upon curriculum quality. Thereupon there are considered systems of indices and criteria with the aid of which one can define the degree of results achieved in this field in an educational institution. Such a circuit provides 7 indic-es and 37 criteria. For each criterion there is shown the totality of documents and materials confirming their fulfillment.
The subjects of curricula control and assessment are, in particular: the curriculum structure, the results of its mastering by students; the conditions of curricula realization in an educational institution, their regulatory, procedural, resource, personnel and financial support. That is, the degree of curricula correspondence to the requirements of Federal State Educational Standards is defined and also to the requirements of a physical and legal person in the interests of which the educational activity is carried out. In this connection the introduction in practice of regulatory-documentation support of curricula state accreditation (a list of essential documents is shown) is significant.
The educational process organization in accor-dance with the principles under consideration, no doubt, will allow improving highly qualified staff train-ing.
The Multi-Morbidity Index: A Tool for Assessing the Prognosis of Patients from
History of Illness
Authors: Alemi Farrokh , Levy Cari R. , Kheirbek Raya E. 
Published: October 2016

Background: The Multi-Morbidity (MM) Index predicts the prognosis of patients from
their diagnostic history. In contrast to existing approaches with broad diagnostic
categories, it treats each diagnosis as a separate independent variable using individual
ICD-9 codes.Objective: This paper describes the MM Index, reviews the published data on
its accuracy, and provides procedures for implementing the Index within electronic
health record (EHR) systems.Methods: The MM Index was tested on various patient
populations by using data from the Veterans Affairs data warehouse and claims data
within the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project of the Agency for Health Care
Research and Quality.Results: In cross-validated studies, the MM Index was more accurate
than prognostic indices based on physiological markers; such as CD4 cell counts in
HIV/AIDS, HbA1c levels in diabetes, ejection fractions in heart failure, or the13
physiological markers commonly used for patients in Intensive Care Units. When
predicting the prognosis of nursing home patients by using the cross-validated area
under a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), the MM Index was 15% more
accurate than the Quan variant of the Charlson Index, 27% more accurate than the Deyo
variant of the Charlson Index, and 22% more accurate than the von Walraven variant of
the Elixhauser Index. For patients in Intensive Care Units, the MM Index was 13% more
accurate than the cross-validated ROC associated with Elixhauser’s categories. The MM
Index also demonstrated greater accuracy than a number of commercially available
measures of severity of illness; including a five-fold greater accuracy than the All
Patient Refined Diagnosis-Related Groups and a three-fold greater accuracy than All
Payer Severity-adjusted Diagnosis-Related Groups.Conclusion: The MM Index is
statistically more accurate than many existing measures of prognosis. The magnitude of
improvement may lead to a clinically meaningful difference in patient care or policy
analysis.

A Difference Method for Solving the Steklov Nonlocal Boundary Value Problem of Second Kind for the Time-Fractional Diffusion Equation
Authors: Alikhanov Anatoly A. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
We consider difference schemes for the time-fractional diffusion
equation with variable coefficients and nonlocal boundary conditions
containing real parameters α, β and γ. By the
method of energy inequalities, for the solution of the difference
problem, we obtain a priori estimates, which imply the stability and
convergence of these difference schemes. The obtained results are
supported by the numerical calculations carried out for some test problems.
Towards cognitively plausible data science in language research
Authors: Milin Petar , Divjak Dagmar , Dimitrijević Strahinja , Baayen R. Harald 
Published: October 2016

AbstractOver the past 10 years, Cognitive Linguistics has taken a quantitative turn. Yet, concerns have been raised that this preoccupation with quantification and modelling may not bring us any closer to understanding how language works. We show that this objection is unfounded, especially if we rely on modelling techniques based on biologically and psychologically plausible learning algorithms. These make it possible to take a quantitative approach, while generating and testing specific hypotheses that will advance our understanding of how knowledge of language emerges from exposure to usage.
MEMS optical switch: Switching time reduction
Authors: Plander Ivan , Stepanovsky Michal 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Existing 3D MEMS-based optical switches offer
good optical properties (low insertion loss, low
crosstalk), high reliability and low power consumption.
These switches utilize highly reflective micro-mirrors to
manipulate an optical signal inside the switch directly
without any conversions. They are used to build dynamically
reconfigurable, highly-scalable physical optical network
layer. As indicated by the simulation results of this
paper, many of existing micro-mirror designs do not have
their dynamic characteristics well optimized and this limits
the switching speed of the optical switch. In a 3DMEMS
switch, the coupling between the mechanical structure
(micro-mirror) and electrostatic field (electrodes) results
in dynamic coupled rotation of the micro-mirror about its
axes, known as the cross-axis coupling effect. The coupling
nature of micro-mirror rotation makes its control difficult.
In this paper,we present the simulation case studies
and a simple optimization technique leading to decoupled
rotation of the micro-mirror about two perpendicular axes.
This helps to reduce the switching time of the switch while
keeping the same manufacturing process and only minimal
design changes.

Abstract
Synchrotron radiation (SR) X-ray tomography is a main technique in realizing imaging of an object section by section. We apply this technique in recovering shale microstructures which becomes a hot topic recently in non-conventional oil and gas exploration. We first set the experimental setup using SR sources at BL13W1 beamline at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility to obtain the measured data of the shale sample, and then we establish the

It indicates from our test results that the new method possesses higher resolution of imaging than the conventional results given by the commercial software.
Monitoring treatment of central precocious puberty using basal luteinizing hormone levels and practical considerations for dosing with a 3-month leuprolide acetate formulation
Authors: Lee Peter A. , Luce Margaret , Bacher Peter 
Published: October 2016

AbstractBackground:Peak gonadotropin-releasing hormone or agonist (GnRHa) stimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) testing with leuprolide acetate (LA) is commonly used to document suppression during therapy for central precocious puberty (CPP). The objective of the study was to investigate suitability of using basal LH levels to monitor GnRHa treatment and to determine optimal transition from 1-month to 3-month LA formulations via a post hoc analysis of a randomized, open-label, 6-month study.Methods:A total of 42 children with CPP, pretreated with 7.5-, 11.25-, or 15-mg 1-month LA formulations were randomized to 11.25- or 30-mg 3-month LA. Basal LH/peak-stimulated LH levels were measured at weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12. Positive/negative predictive values and sensitivities/specificities were determined for basal LH vs. LH-stimulation results.Results:Pretreatment with any 1-month formulation for the most part did not affect continuation of suppression after transitioning to 3-month formulation (mean peak-stimulated LH levels remained < 4 IU/L). Basal LH predicted suppression escape (basal LH-level cutoff ≥ 0.6 IU/L predicted 70% of those failing suppression). Tolerability was similar, regardless of dose.Conclusions:Our data indicate that a basal level of <0.60 IU/L is adequate for monitoring suppression approximately two-thirds of the time. Furthermore, the effectiveness and safety of 3-month LA treatments are not influenced by previous CPP therapies.
Milestones in microwave-assisted organophosphorus chemistry
Authors: Keglevich György , Kiss Nóra Zs. , Mucsi Zoltán 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Our recent results in the field of microwave (MW)-assisted organophosphorus syntheses, especially regarding esterifications, condensations, substitutions and additions are surveyed. Beside making organic chemical reactions more efficient, it was possible to perform transformations that are reluctant on conventional heating. Another option is to substitute catalysts, or to simplify catalyst systems under MW conditions. It is also the purpose of this paper to elucidate the scope and limitations of the MW tool, to interpret the MW effects, and to model the distribution of the local overheatings and their beneficial effect. All these considerations are possible on the basis of the enthalpy of activations determined by us utilizing the Arrhenius equation and the pseudo first order kinetic equation.

Effect of polyarylene ether nitrile on the curing behaviors and properties of bisphthalonitrile
Authors: Chen Zhiran , Lei Yajie , Tang Hailong , Liu Xiaobo 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The 2,2-bis[4-(3,4)-dicyanophenoxy phenyl]propane (BAPh)/polyarylene ether nitrile (PEN-OH) prepolymers and polymers were prepared by heat polymerization. Firstly, BAPh/PEN-OH systems were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic rheological analysis, and thermal gravimetric analysis. The results revealed that the polymerization reaction can be controlled by various concentrations of PEN-OH and postcuring temperatures, and BAPh/PEN-OH prepolymers had low curing temperatures (229.3–300.4°C), large processing windows (∼106.5°C) with low melt viscosities, and excellent thermal stabilities. Then, the polymerization reaction and surface structures of BAPh/PEN-OH systems were investigated using Fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The interpenetrating polymer networks were found in BAPh/PEN-OH polymers, suggesting that the addition of PEN-OH can not only promote the curing behaviors of BAPh but also increase the toughness of the polymers. The flexure strength and modulus of BAPh/PEN-OH polymers increased with the introduction of PEN-OH. The dielectric properties of BAPh/PEN-OH polymers were investigated, which had little dependence on the frequency. BAPh/PEN-OH systems can be used as a good candidate for high-performance polymeric materials.

Authors: Klosinski Gunther 
Published: October 2016

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag beschreibt Spiritualität als Suchbewegung, die schon in der Kindheit in Form von existentiellen Fragen aufkeimt, in der Pubertät und Adoleszenz sich im Rahmen einer Sinn- und Identitätssuche zeigen kann, bedingt durch Krisen, Brüche und Infragestellungen, die diese vulnerable Altersstufe begleiten. Auf Umwege und Sackgassen spiritueller Suche wird eingegangen sowie auf spirituellen Missbrauch. Familiäre und gesellschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen, die eine gelingende Spiritualität begünstigen, werden erörtert.
Spiritualität in der Psychotherapie von Kindern
Authors: von Gontard Alexander 
Published: October 2016

ZusammenfassungDie Spiritualität ist in der Psychotherapie von Kindern weniger berücksichtigt als bei Erwachsenen. Nach der analytischen Psychotherapie C.G. Jungs wird Spiritualität auch als Numinoses bezeichnet. Das Numinose wird durch Kontakt zu den Archetypen ausgelöst zu zeigt sich in Symbolen. Anhand der Sandspieltherapie von D. Kalff soll die Bedeutung der Spiritualität in der Psychotherapie von Kindern aufgezeigt werden. Dazu werden Beispiele aus Therapien gewählt, bei denen Kinder christliche Symbole, Symbole anderer Religionen oder eigener Naturreligionen wählen oder das Spirituelle unmittelbar und direkt ausdrücken. In Zukunft wäre zu wünschen, dass die Spiritualität als entscheidende Erfahrung und Wirkfaktor in der Psychotherapie von Kindern integriert und gewürdigt werden.
A rare cause of hyperamylasemia: multiple myeloma
Authors: Sincan Gülden , Bilen Yusuf , Erdem Fuat , Gündoğdu Mehmet 
Published: October 2016

Abstract

Background
A higher amylase than normal concentration may reflect one of several medical conditions, including acute inflammation of the pancreas, perforated peptic ulcer, torsion of an ovarian cyst, strangulation ileus, mesenteric ischemia, macroamylasemia, renal failure and mumps. In addition; amylase production by epithelial carcinomas has been well documented. But hyperamylasemia associated with multiple myeloma has been reported only in a few cases. We report a case with hyperamylasemia associated with multiple myeloma in this paper because of rarity.

Case report
We report a 64 year old male patient with multiple myeloma. He had hyperamylasemia and no evidence of pancreatic and salivary gland disease, renal failure. The patient had relapse disease after autologous bone marrow transplant. Amylase value is high correlated with his disease status. Combined chemotherapy (lenalidomide 25 mg once daily orally on days 1–21 and dexamethosone 40 mg/day, days 1–4 of repeated 28-day cycles) was started to our patient for multiple myeloma. The amylase level decresed to a normal level after 28 days.

Conclusion
Paraneoplastic hyperamylasaemia as a marker to monitor disease progression and treatment response in cases with multiple myeloma. It related to extensive extra-medullary spread, extensive bone destruction and shorter survival time.
Kraft, Praxis und der blinde Fleck der Geschichte
Authors: Hogh Philip 
Published: October 2016

ZusammenfassungAnhand zweier zentraler Theorien der Gegenwartsästhetik – Christoph Menkes Ästhetik der Kraft und Georg W. Bertrams Theorie der Kunst als menschlicher Praxis – wird in diesem Text untersucht, in welcher Weise die Historizität ihrer Gegenstände reflektiert wird. Vor dem Hintergrund der Annahme, dass an der Hegelschen These der Einheit von Vernunft und Geschichte, die sich auch im Gedanken des Schönen als „sinnlichem Scheinen der Idee“ ausdrückt, heute nicht mehr festgehalten werden kann, wird in Auseinandersetzung mit Menke und Bertram eruiert, in welches Verhältnis Kunst und Geschichte gesetzt werden müssen, wenn an der kritischen Funktion, die Menke und Bertram Kunstwerken zusprechen, festgehalten werden soll.
