Abstract
The ongoing climate change creates serious concerns about how tree species will behave under new environmental condi­tions. Common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), a main and important tree species in Europe, will also be affected by the coming changes. One possibility to test the adaptability of this tree species is to perform provenance tests, transplanting trees from northern areas to warmer and drier places, and to investigate their behavior over a long period of time (transfer experiments). This work describes such an experiment. A provenance test was established in April 2010 with two-year-old seedlings from 8 provenances of beech - 5 from Germany (Bavaria) and 3 from Bulgaria. Our purposes were to determine differences in the manifestation of the spring and autumn phenophases from beech of German and Bulgarian provenances and to seek a relationship between geographical coordinates and altitude of the same provenances and timing of leaf flushing and leaf coloring/shedding. In this experiment we examined leaf unfolding and leaf coloring/shedding in two growing periods (2013 and 2016). We found that the Bulgarian provenances flushed earlier in comparison with the German ones in both growing periods. No statistically significant clustering of the Bulgarian and German provenances during leaf coloring/shedding for the second period of observation was found. Longitude had the most important influence on flushing. A linear relationship between the mean date of leaf coloring and the longitude and latitude was determined, but only for the first growing period (2013), when eastern provenances had later leaf coloring, while more northern provenances had earlier leaf coloring.
Analysis of Glycodelin Levels Before and After Hysteroscopic Polypectomy in Infertile Patients
Authors: Sorak Marija , Devic Ana 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Glycodelin (or placental protein 14) is a glycoprotein located in the glandular and thin epithelium of the endometrium. It is considered an important factor in the implantation process, and its traces can be found in elevated concentrations in the uterine flushing obtained at the time of implantation, while in the proliferative phase of the cycle, its levels are low. A certain concentration has been found to inhibit the binding of spermatozoids to the zona pellucida of the oocites therefore, it effects conception. It has a role in angiogenesis and is in high concentrations in the tissues of both benign and malignant gynaecological tumours.
The aim of this study is to analyse and display the glycodelin level changes before and after hysteroscopic polypectomy in infertile patients in the uterine flushing fluid and serum. This survey covers 80 infertile patients, who were divided into two groups. The first group, the experimental group, consisted of 50 infertile patients with endometrial polyps, and a control group of 30 infertile patients without endometrial polyps was also included.
The results primarily indicate the existence of changes in glycodelin levels preoperatively in the flushing and venous blood in infertile patients with endometrial polyps compared with the levels after surgery. In the control group of patients, no significant change in the glycodelin levels was detected in the flushing and venous blood. When comparing these two groups, statistically significant differences in the glycodelin levels in the flushing and venous blood were noted. We conclude that the presence of endometrial polyps in the cavum uteri affects the increase in the glycodelin concentration in the flushing fluid and in the plasma. Increased glycodelin concentrations complicate fertilization and implantation.
Grenzpolitiken und Flüchtlingsschutz

Published: December 2017

ZusammenfassungIn der sozialwissenschaftlichen Literatur wird die empirische Analyse gegenwärtiger Grenzpolitiken oftmals mit ethischen Bedenken verbunden. Der Beitrag greift als Beispiel die These heraus, dass Staaten in ethisch problematischer Weise versuchen, die Zahl der Flüchtlinge zu reduzieren, die auf ihr Territorium gelangen. Anhand von Positionen aus der Ethik der Migration soll gezeigt werden, unter welchen Bedingungen dieses Bedenken berechtigt sein kann.
Assistierte Selbstbestimmung als normatives und empirisches Problem des Rechts – am Beispiel von Einwilligungs- und Entscheidungsfähigkeit
Authors: Damm Reinhard 
Published: December 2017

ZusammenfassungDie Normkonzepte der Einwilligungs- und Entscheidungsfähigkeit gehören zum klassischen Bestand des Personenrechts und zugleich zu dessen aktuell besonders intensiv bearbeiteten Problemfeldern. Dies gilt sowohl für die rechtsdogmatische Diskussion als auch für rechtspolitische Normbildungsprozesse. Einschlägige Entwicklungen sind auf innerstaatlicher und internationaler Ebene zu beobachten. Der unübersehbare rechtliche und gesellschaftliche Bedeutungszuwachs der Thematik beruht insbesondere auf ihrer Verknüpfung mit veränderten Wahrnehmungen von Reifeprozessen und Adoleszenz bei Kindern und Jugendlichen, von Demographie, Altersentwicklung und Demenz sowie schließlich von Behinderung und Betreuung. Hieraus resultiert eine ebenfalls besondere Relevanz von Medizin-, Pflege-, Betreuungs- und Teilhaberecht. In einer historischen Abfolge bis zur derzeitigen Situation sind expandierende autonomieorientierte Normbildungen von der traditionellen Einwilligungsfähigkeit und deren Differenzierung gegenüber der Geschäftsfähigkeit über die Unterscheidung von Entscheidungsebene und Einbeziehungs- oder Partizipationsebene bis hin zu aktuellen Konzepten einer Selbstbestimmung fördernden „Assistenz“ nachzuvollziehen. Empirische und interdisziplinäre Analysen hinsichtlich betroffener Personen, Populationen und Institutionen sind im Gange, aber insgesamt noch überwiegend am Anfang und unabgeschlossen. Dabei ist eine empirische Aufladung des Einwilligungskonzepts zu beobachten, die sich nicht zuletzt in professionsinterner Normbildung durch fachwissenschaftliche Leitlinien und standardisierte Prüfkonzepte niederschlägt. Dies korrespondiert mit einer normativen Aufladung dieses Konzepts durch rechtliche Statusveränderungen betroffener Personen auf der Partizipations- und Förderungsebene. Der Beitrag bearbeitet die Wechselbezüglichkeit einschlägiger Normentwicklungen und rechtstatsächlicher Rahmenbedingungen.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
The present paper investigates the motion of the variable infinitesimal body in circular restricted four variable bodies problem. We have constructed the equations of motion of the infinitesimal variable mass under the effect of source of radiation pressure due to which albedo effects are produced by another two primaries and one primary is considered as an oblate body which is placed at the triangular equilibrium point of the classical restricted three-body problem and also the variation of Jacobi Integral constant has been determined. We have studied numerically the equilibrium points, Poincaré surface of sections and basins of attraction in five cases (i. Third primary is placed at one of the triangular equilibrium points of the classical restricted three-body problem, ii. Variation of masses, iii. Solar radiation pressure, iv. Albedo effect, v. Oblateness effect.) by using Mathematica software. Finally, we have examined the stability of the equilibrium points and found that all the equilibrium points are unstable.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of plyometric and cluster resistance training on explosive power and maximum strength in karate players. Eighteen women, karate players (age mean ± SD 18.22 ± 3.02 years, mean height 163 ± 0.63cm, and mean body mass 53.25 ± 7.34 kg) were selected as volunteer samples. They were divided into two groups with respect to their recorded one repetition maximum squat exercise: [1] plyometric training (PT=9) and [2] Cluster training (CT=9) groups and performed a 9-week resistance training protocol that included three stages; [1] General fitness (2 weeks), [2] Strength (4 weeks) and [3] Power (3 weeks). Each group performed strength and power trainings for 7 weeks in stage two and three with owned protocol. The subjects were evaluated three times before stage one and after two and three stages for maximum strength and power. Data was analyzed using two way Repeated Measures (ANOVA) at a significance level of (P≤0.05). The statistical analysis showed that training stages on all research variables had a significant impact. The maximum strength of the pre-test, post-test strength and post-test power were in cluster group: 29.05 ± 1.54; 32.89 ± 2.80 and 48.74 ± 4.33w and in plyometric group were 26.98 ± 1.54; 38.48 ± 2.80 and 49.82 ± 4.33w respectively. The explosive power of the pre-test, post-test strength and post-test power in cluster group were 359.32±36.20; 427.91±34.56 and 460.55±36.80w and in plyometric group were 333.90±36.20; 400.33±34.56 and 465.20±36.80w respectively. However, there were not statistically significant differences in research variables between resistance cluster and plyometric training groups after 7 weeks. The results indicated both cluster and plyometric training program seems to improve physical fitness elements at the same levels.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate whether telemedicine (TM) follow-up of patients with diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFUs) in primary health care in collaboration with specialist health care was noninferior to standard outpatient care (SOC) for ulcer healing time. Further, we sought to evaluate whether the proportion of amputations, deaths, number of consultations per month, and patient satisfaction differed between the two groups.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Patients with DFUs were recruited from three clinical sites in western Norway (2012–2016). The cluster-randomized controlled noninferiority trial included 182 adults (94/88 in the TM/SOC groups) in 42 municipalities/districts. The intervention group received TM follow-up care in the community; the control group received SOC. The primary end point was healing time. Secondary end points were amputation, death, number of consultations per month, and patient satisfaction.

RESULTS
Using mixed-effects regression analysis, we found that TM was noninferior to SOC regarding healing time (mean difference –0.43 months, 95% CI −1.50, 0.65). When competing risk from death and amputation were taken into account, there was no significant difference in healing time between the groups (subhazard ratio 1.16, 95% CI 0.85, 1.59). The TM group had a significantly lower proportion of amputations (mean difference –8.3%, 95% CI –16.3%, –0.5%), and there were no significant differences in the proportion of deaths, number of consultations, or patient satisfaction between groups, although the direction of the effect estimates for these clinical outcomes favored the TM group.

CONCLUSIONS
The results suggest that use of TM technology can be a relevant alternative and supplement to usual care, at least for patients with more superficial ulcers.

Published: December 2017

Com a evolução histórica humana, dos tempos remotos da antiguidade à sociedade moderna, inúmeros meios de se obter energia foram desenvolvidos. Estes geradores de energia são combustíveis que possuem características únicas, como extração e transformação. Atualmente o respeito ao meio ambiente e a natureza é de grande proporção, tornando a busca cada vez maior por fontes de energia renováveis e de baixos níveis poluentes. Entretanto a diversidade de processos e suas necessidades energéticas ainda mantêm uma alta demanda de todos os tipos de combustíveis. Sua utilização em meios produtivos, mais especificadamente em uma calcinação, objeto deste estudo, implica diretamente na realização do processo e na transformação da matéria-prima, neste caso calcário, em um produto final, a cal. Análises de seus níveis energéticos, da disponibilidade no mercado, origem e logística, adaptação ao meio, além, obviamente, dos seus custos, fornecem dados importantes para a escolha de qual é o combustível mais adequado ao processo de calcinação. O estudo conclui que a fonte energética mais adequada, levando-se em conta vantagens e desvantagens é a lenha de eucalipto.

The problem of adaptation of the student's body, timely diagnosis, prevention and correction of transitional states is one of the most important issues in biology, physiology, medicine, pedagogy and sports. In connection with this, studies of the functional state of the body, psychophysiological determination of quality and quantity of health are relevant. Goal of research: the purpose of the study was to evaluate the adaptive capabilities of the bodies of students engaged and not engaged in active sports. Methods of research: the study involved 47 students aged 19-24 years. To assess the functional state of the body, the sports and medical tests were used which allow to directly characterize the state of the cardiovascular and nervous system, as those systems of the human body respond most quickly to emotional and physical stress. Students were divided into two groups: 1 – was not engage in active sports during the summer; 2 – was engaged in active sports. Research results:the results of the study showed a decrease in the adaptive capacity of the body at the end of the school yearin the subjects of the 1st and 2nd groups. An increase in the adaptive capacity of the organism with the most pronounced effect is observed among the students of the 2nd group who were engaged in active sports during the summer. Summary: the obtained results prove the effectiveness of the influence of active sports classes on the adaptive capabilities of the bodies of students. They have a positive effect on the tolerance of excessive psycho-emotional loads during the school year.

Clinique infantojuvénile et co-créativité. Entre critères d’évaluation et guides de bonnes pratiques, comment ouvrir et garantir un espace de cocréativité dans l’interrelation ?
Authors: Mille Christian , Delhaye Mehdi , Bon Saint Côme Marie 
Published: December 2017

La référence systématique à la CIM 10 et à des recommandations de bonne pratique dans les considérations diagnostiques thérapeutiques, suscite des objections chez de nombreux professionnels des secteurs infanto-juvéniles, qui craignent une fermeture de la rencontre, ainsi qu’une sclérose de l’inventivité. Il convient d’interroger cette antinomie posée a priori entre les conceptions dites « scientifiques » et la pratique théorico-clinique des praticiens de formation psychodynamique, en envisageant ces nouveaux outils selon le « mode créatif de perception » défini par Winnicott. La confrontation à ces nouvelles perspectives, loin de devoir tarir la créativité des cliniciens, semble plutôt la susciter, en fournissant un matériel qu’il leur faudra articuler à leur expérience et leur pratique pour en permettre l’accommodation aux nouvelles données de la clinique.

Published: December 2017

Après un rappel des fonctions et fondements des liens fraternels, de l’enfance à l’âge adulte, les auteurs, praticiens et chercheurs exposent les travaux et les avancées théoriques sur l’impact du handicap et de la maladie mentale sur les liens fraternels. Cet état des lieux permet de dégager, à la fin de l’article, trois thèmes qui mériteraient, à l’avenir, d’être approfondis : la maltraitance intrafraternelle, la période de l’âge adulte et, surtout, celle du vieillissement des personnes en situation de handicap, et, enfin, la nécessité de mieux connaître et, donc, de prendre en compte, le vécu subjectif de la personne en situation de handicap dans le cadre de ses relations et interactions avec ses frères et sœurs, tout au long de sa vie.
Profit Maximization Does Not Necessitate Profit Prioritization
Authors: White Robert 
Published: December 2017

AbstractOne of the grounds on which profit maximization has been morally condemned is the claim that businessmen are led by the logic of profit maximization to prioritize profit above all other values, including human life. Thus, while business critics claim that they object to profit maximization, what, at least some of them, in fact object to is profit prioritization. Drawing upon Ayn Rand's distinction between the intrinsic and objective theories of value, this article unpackages profit maximization and profit prioritization, arguing that businessmen can maximize profit without having to prioritize profit above all other values.
Direct Observation of Heavy‐Tailed Storage Times of Bed Load Tracer Particles Causing Anomalous Superdiffusion
Authors: Bradley D. Nathan 
Published: December 2017

AbstractA consensus has formed that the step length distribution of fluvial bed load is thin tailed and that the observed anomalous superdiffusion of bed load tracer particles must arise from heavy‐tailed resting times. However, heavy‐tailed resting times have never been directly observed in the field over multiple floods. Using 9 years of data from a large bed load tracer experiment, I show that the spatial variance of the tracer plume scales faster than linearly with integrated excess stream power, indicating anomalous superdiffusion. The superdiffusion is caused by a heavy‐tailed distribution of observed storage times that is fit with a truncated Pareto distribution with a tail parameter that is predicted by anomalous diffusion theory. The heavy‐tailed distribution of storage times causes the tracer virtual velocity to slow over time, indicated by a sublinear increase in the mean displacement that is predicted by the storage time distribution tail parameter.
Strong Dependence of U.S. Summertime Air Quality on the Decadal Variability of Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures
Authors: Shen Lu , Mickley Loretta J. , Leibensperger Eric M. , Li Mingwei 
Published: December 2017

AbstractWe find that summertime air quality in the eastern U.S. displays strong dependence on North Atlantic sea surface temperatures, resulting from large‐scale ocean‐atmosphere interactions. Using observations, reanalysis data sets, and climate model simulations, we further identify a multidecadal variability in surface air quality driven by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). In one‐half cycle (~35 years) of the AMO from cold to warm phase, summertime maximum daily 8 h ozone concentrations increase by 1–4 ppbv and PM2.5concentrations increase by 0.3–1.0 μg m−3over much of the east. These air quality changes are related to warmer, drier, and more stagnant weather in the AMO warm phase, together with anomalous circulation patterns at the surface and aloft. If the AMO shifts to the cold phase in future years, it could partly offset the climate penalty on U.S. air quality brought by global warming, an effect which should be considered in long‐term air quality planning.
