Raven, Dog, Human: Inhuman Colonialism and Unsettling Cosmologies
Authors: Zahara Alexander R. D. , Hird Myra J. 
Published: April 2016

AbstractAs capitalism's unintended, and often unacknowledged, fallout, humans have developed sophisticated technologies to squirrel away our discards: waste is buried, burned, gasified, thrown into the ocean, and otherwise kept out-of-sight and out-of-mind. Some inhuman animals seek out and uncover our wastes. These ‘trash animals' choke on, eat, defecate, are contaminated with, play games with, have sex on, and otherwise live out their lives on and in our formal and informal dumpsites. In southern Canada's sanitary landfills, waste management typically adopts a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to trash animals. These culturally sanctioned (and publicly funded) facilities practice diverse methods of ‘vermin control.’ By contrast, within Inuit communities of the Eastern Canadian Arctic, ravens eat, play, and rest on open dumps by the thousands. In this article, we explore the ways in which western and Inuit cosmologies differentially inform particular relationships with the inhuman, and ‘trash animals' in particular. We argue that waste and wasting exist within a complex set of historically embedded and contemporaneously contested neo-colonial structures and processes. Canada's North, we argue, is a site where differing cosmologies variously collide, intertwine, operate in parallel, or speak past each other in ways that often marginalize Inuit and other indigenous ways of knowing and being. Inheriting waste is more than just a relay of potentially indestructible waste materials from past to present to future: through waste, we bequeath a set of politically, historically, and materially constituted relations, structures, norms, and practices with which future generations must engage.
Media Inc.: Consolidated Television, Tele-King and investment diversification by organized crime
Authors: Barnett Vincent L. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
This article documents the involvement of leading members of American organized crime, specifically the East Coast Syndicate lead by Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello, with some US media industries in the 1940s and 1950s. It does so by tracing the creation, ownership and business history of two television-manufacturing companies, Consolidated Television Incorporated and the Tele-King Corporation, which it has been alleged were controlled by Syndicate interests. It uses various forms of primary and secondary sources to do this, such as FBI files, witness testimony and published accounts. It also examines the types of media products that these companies manufactured, why Syndicate members ventured into this investment sector, and how Syndicate control was initially exerted, maintained, and then exposed.
‘A Revolutionary Voice’: Analysing Maxine Peake’s Northern stardom in Silk and Room at the Top
Authors: Gorton Kristyn , Peirse Alison 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
This article explores how Maxine Peake’s explicit and directly articulated social conscience – specifically in terms of class, gender and Northernness – can be explored in television drama, and what this might say about her ‘Northern Stardom’ in our contemporary cultural climate. Our central case studies are the series Silk (2011–2014) and mini-series Room at the Top (2012), both chosen as recent productions that explicitly engage with politics but in quite different ways. In the case of Silk this is foregrounded as a courtroom drama, while Room at the Top’s 1950s’ setting demonstrates the way working-class men and women were able to break free of expectations around their gender and social standing – but at a cost. Peake is presented in popular culture as a rarity, a socially aware, politically active Northern actor who is able to break free of a Northern stereotype; at the same time, we will argue, as an actor she brings an honesty/emotion to the roles she plays that both chime with audience expectations of the ‘strong’ Northern woman and yet allow her to expose the fragility and anxiety inherent to this persona.
‘The Bake Off beefcake with the best buns in the business’: Sex, pies and Paul Hollywood
Authors: Jamieson Gill 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
As one of the judges on the hugely successful BBC series The Great British Bake Off (2010–), Paul Hollywood has become a food icon in the United Kingdom. Like other celebrity chefs, he has augmented an appreciation for careful food preparation and enhanced taste experiences, resisting the widespread consumer desire for easily accessible convenience food. This article explores Hollywood’s persona and the extent to which personality attributions associated with a ‘Northern’ identity paradigm are an intrinsic part of his appeal. I argue that Hollywood is selling more than cakes, pies, pastries and fancy bread through his various endeavours both on-and off-screen: he is selling an idea of the North as a place which values hard work, frugality and resourcefulness. For all the posturing about ‘food porn’ in the press, Hollywood’s work often celebrates the simplicity of comfort food, or the staples that define the routines of home cooking where repetition and familiarity are key aspects of the experience. Despite his success in the United Kingdom, Hollywood failed to emulate that success in the United States when he co-hosted The American Baking Competition (2013). This begs the question: what is it about a television star like Hollywood that makes his commodity value appeal and resonate in one market but ultimately sink without trace in the international market? Might we consider Hollywood as a case study in the limits of the transnational celebrity?

Published: April 2016

Abstract
The Industrie 4.0 initiative emphasizes the consistent digitalization and linking of all productive units, including the definition of
industrial control systems. This work proposes a model-based approach to develop Industrial Process Measurement and Control Systems. It
uses modern software technologies but software complexity is wrapped using the notation, syntax and semantics of the field. It is UML
modeling tool independent, due to the definition of domain profiles. It is also PLC programming tool independent, as the software
architecture is generated following the PLCopen XML standard.
Zur regelungsorientierten Identifikation und driftkompensierenden Takagi-Sugeno-Fuzzy-Regelung
Authors: Schrodt Alexander , Kroll Andreas 
Published: April 2016

Zusammenfassung
Prädiktions- oder Simulationsgüte sind nicht zwangsläufig die relevanten Eigenschaften für Modelle, die zur Reglersynthese verwendet
werden sollen. Eine regelungsorientierte Modellerstellung aus Messdaten wird mit dem Begriff ,,Identification for Control“
bezeichnet, wobei die bekannten Methoden für lineare Modelle und Regler entwickelt wurden. Eine nichtlineare Erweiterung ist dabei
nicht ohne weiteres möglich. Lokal lineare/affine Multi-Modell-Ansätze lassen es jedoch zu, Teile der linearen Theorie approximativ
auf nichtlineare Systeme anzuwenden. Dieser Beitrag stellt ein TS-Reglerentwurfsverfahren vor, das die lokalen Driftterme der
Teilmodelle näherungsweise kompensiert, um einen an der linearen Theorie orientierten lokalen Entwurf zu ermöglichen. Des Weiteren
wird ein iterativer Entwurf auf Basis von im geschlossenen Regelkreis identifizierten TS-Modellen vorgestellt. Die Methoden werden in
zwei Simulationsfallstudien (Fahrzeuglängsdynamik und Drei-Tank-System) demonstriert.

Authors: Harder Karsten , Specker Thomas , Dietmayer Klaus , Buchholz Michael 
Published: April 2016

Zusammenfassung
Zur Wiederherstellung der Bewegungsfähigkeit, beispielsweise nach Verletzungen des Rückenmarks, werden bei der Rehabilitation verstärkt
Therapieroboter eingesetzt. In diesem Beitrag wird die Regelung eines Gangrehabilitationsroboter mittels adaptiver Folgereglung
vorgestellt. Ziel ist die Einregelung einer Gangtrajektorie unabhängig von den Einflüssen des Patienten durch die zusätzliche Masse
oder aufgebrachte Kräfte beim Training. Darüber hinaus treten dominante, variierende Reibungseffekte in den Antrieben des Roboters
auf, die ebenfalls kompensiert werden müssen. Die Evaluation des Verfahrens anhand von Messungen an einem Prototyp des Roboters zeigt,
dass bereits nach kurzer Einschwingzeit der Adaption eine sehr gute Trajektorienfolge erzielt wird.

Zusammenfassung
Für die automatisierte Erprobung vorausschauender Fußgängerschutzsysteme ist
es erforderlich, eine präzise und reproduzierbare Kollision zwischen einem
Fußgängerdummy und einem definierten Punkt an der Fahrzeugfront
herbeizuführen. Folglich entsteht der Bedarf nach einer gezielten Spurführung
dieses Punktes. Der Beitrag beschreibt ein neues Regelstreckenmodell, welches
die Dynamik und Kinematik eines lateral zur Fahrzeuglängsachse versetzten
Punktes beinhaltet. Auf Basis dieses Modells wird mittels der Methode der
exakten Ein/Ausgangslinearisierung die benötigte Spurführung ausgelegt.
Segmentation and classification of bright lesions to diagnose diabetic retinopathy in retinal images
Authors: Santhi D. , Manimegalai D. , Parvathi S. , Karkuzhali S. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
In view of predicting bright lesions such as hard exudates, cotton wool spots, and drusen in retinal images, three different segmentation techniques have been proposed and their effectiveness is compared with existing segmentation techniques. The benchmark images with annotations present in the structured analysis of the retina (STARE) database is considered for testing the proposed techniques. The proposed segmentation techniques such as region growing (RG), region growing with background correction (RGWBC), and adaptive region growing with background correction (ARGWBC) have been used, and the effectiveness of the algorithms is compared with existing fuzzy-based techniques. Images of eight categories of various annotations and 10 images in each category have been used to test the consistency of the proposed algorithms. Among the proposed techniques, ARGWBC has been identified to be the best method for segmenting the bright lesions based on its sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Fifteen different features are extracted from retinal images for the purpose of identification and classification of bright lesions. Feedforward backpropagation neural network (FFBPNN) and pattern recognition neural network (PRNN) are used for the classification of normal/abnormal images. Probabilistic neural network (PNN), radial basis exact fit (RBE), radial basis fewer neurons (RB), and FFBPNN are used for further bright lesion classification and achieve 100% accuracy.

Published: April 2016

Abstract
Clinical translation denotes a focused and rapid process of transferring scientific knowledge into clinical practice and patient care. As a new model of innovation it has gained importance in the biomedical research in recent years. To identify the current state of clinical translation within the routines of hospital based research, we examine structures of the interdisciplinary research consortium BIOFABRICATION in Hannover (Germany) with regard to translational strategies. Moreover, we illustrate general requirements and infrastructural conditions, which are essential to establish a top-level translation center. Consequently, a translational training programme, standardized processes for documentation as well as a platform to support the communication between translational stakeholders were introduced. As an outlook the framework conditions will be evaluated on translational efficiency. The acquired knowledge will be a first step to develop a guideline for an optimized clinical translation of life science research results. It can be finally used as a role model for the planning and optimization of other translational centers.
Shielding Effectiveness Estimation by using Monopole-receiving Antenna and Comparison with Dipole Antenna
Authors: Nešić Nataša J. , Dončov Nebojša S. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
In this paper, a numerical analysis of shielding properties of a protective metal enclosure has been performed by simulating a receiving antenna placed inside. Here, the main focus is put on the monopole antenna type. This antenna type is used in an experimental set-up to measure the shielding effectiveness (SE) of the enclosure as often as some other antennas such as dipole. Numerical model, based on the Transmission-Line Matrix (TLM) method, is applied to numerically investigate an impact this antenna might have on a detected level of electromagnetic (EM) field when it is used in the SE measurements. As in experiments, the estimation of SE of an enclosure in the numerical model is performed based on the current induced on the antenna, directly provided by a compact TLM wire model. The model accuracy is verified through a comparison with the experimental results from the literature. The analysis includes the monopole antenna with different radii and lengths, in order to consider changes in the resonant frequencies and the SE level of enclosure. Finally, the enclosure with either the monopole or the dipole is simulated in order to compare their influence on EM field distribution inside the enclosure.
Solid Inclusions in Au-nuggets, genesis and derivation from alkaline rocks of the Guli Massif, Northern Siberia
Authors: Dvorani Sami N. 
Published: April 2016

AbstractA total of 112 Au-nuggets, collected from alluvial placer deposits of the Ingarinda River from the Guli massif, located in northem Siberia, Russia, were investigated. The Guli massif consists of a huge dunite-clinopyroxenite complex (the largest complex in the world), an alkaline to highly alkaline rock suite (melilite, nephelinite, ijolite) enveloping the dunite and carbonatite intrusions, associated with disseminated schlieren type chromitite and Au-Ag, Pt placer deposits. The nuggets are characterized by various sizes and shapes and show chemical compositions Au, Au-Ag and AuCu, typical for a derivate of carbon-atites and/or ultramafic complexes. A great variety of oxide, silicate, REE-minerals, carbonate and sulphide inclusions have been detected in the nuggets, which are identical in mineralogy and chemical composition to mineral constituents of the alkaline to highly alkaline rock suite surrounding the Guli dunite core complex thus, considered as the source for Au-nuggets.
Airing Dirty Laundry: Reforming the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Regime in Malaysia
Authors: Hamin Zaiton , Omar Normah , Wan Rosli Wan Rosalili 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Dealing with money laundering has been one of the toughest struggles nations around the world, including Malaysia, have had to face. Prevalent international concerns over such crime have led to the establishment of international policies and standards by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which aimed at preventing and ultimately criminalising such crime within the national boundary. In accordance with such policies, Malaysia has introduced the Anti-Money Laundering Act in 2001 (AMLA) as a legal modality in governing such crime. It has been amended and renamed the AMLATFA in 2003 to include terrorism financing. Again, recently in late 2013, AMLATFA has been amended to keep up with changing standards and times. Within this legal landscape, this paper will highlight the instrumental and normative problems surrounding the said legislation. The authors contend that despite the adherence to global governance standards, legal deficiencies in the AML/ATF law in Malaysia remained, which merits urgent attention and action from the relevant authorities. This paper employs a doctrinal legal research and secondary data of which the AMLATFA is the primary source. The secondary sources for this article include decided cases, articles in academic journals, books and online databases.
Efficient green synthesis of monomethine cyanines via grinding under solvent-free conditions
Authors: Eissa Fayez M. , Abdel Hameed Reda S. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
A solvent-free, efficient, and green approach for the synthesis of monomethine cyanine dyes was carried out via grinding at room temperature in the presence of a minimum amount of catalyst. This green methodology aims to overcome the limitations and drawbacks of previously reported methods such as heating at high temperatures, use of large amounts of catalysts, use of solvents, modest yields, and long reaction times. Moreover, the advantages of the process include mild conditions with excellent conversion, and inexpensive procedure. The new synthetic method was demonstrated for eight reported dyes, as representatives, and showed high applicability for their analogues in the same way. The green context of the new methodology was noticeable, compared with the non-green components of the conventional one. The structure and purity of the resulting compounds were compared with the previously reported data and confirmed using thin layer chromatography, absorption spectra, elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and 13C-NMR spectroscopy.
The anti-oxidant and pro-oxidant dichotomy of Bcl-2
Authors: Yee Yi Hui , Chong Stephen Jun Fei , Pervaiz Shazib 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Across a wide spectrum of cellular redox status, there emerges a dichotomy of responses in terms of cell survival/proliferation and cell death. Of note, there is emerging evidence that the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2, in addition to its conventional activity of titrating the pro-apoptotic effects of proteins such as Bax and Bak at the mitochondria, also impacts cell fate decisions via modulating cellular redox metabolism. In this regard, both pro- and anti-oxidant effects of Bcl-2 overexpression have been described under different conditions and cellular contexts. In this short review, we attempt to analyze existing observations and present a probable explanation for the seemingly conflicting redox regulating activity of Bcl-2 from the standpoint of its pro-survival function. The consequential effect(s) of the dual redox functions of Bcl-2 are also discussed, particularly from the viewpoint of developing novel therapeutic strategies against cancers rendered refractory due to the aberrant expression of Bcl-2.
Slovak healthcare workers’ lived experience of conscience
Authors: Blaho Radoslav 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
This paper investigates the meaning of conscience in providing healthcare and Slovak healthcare workers’ lived experience of conscience. It draws on data from semi-structured interviews with eleven healthcare professionals. The data was analyzed using a phenomenological hermeneutic interpretation. Two main themes relating to the lived experience of conscience were derived—preserving one’s conscience integrity, by satisfying one’s conscience in order to sustain it, using defense mechanisms for protection, following one’s inner conviction, and respecting the patient’s individuality and having a troubled conscience in relation to external factors, medical procedures and options, and demands by the authorities. The results are discussed in relation to the literature.
Prevalence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender among Japanese university students: a single institution survey
Authors: Ikuta Nasa , Koike Yuji , Aoyagi Naoko , Matsuzaka Akira , Fuse-Nagase Yasuko , Kogawa Kazuhiro , Takizawa Toshiyuki 
Published: April 2016

Abstract

Objective:
To elucidate the prevalence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) among Japanese youth, we conducted a survey research that targeted university students.

Materials and methods:
Participants were first-year students (n=1597) at Ibaraki University, Japan (Phase 1 study) or second- to fourth-year students (n=944) at the university who were randomly preferred in the survey (Phase 2 study). Surveys measured gender identity and sexual orientation, partly using the gender identity scale (GIS).

Results:
The prevalence of LGBT youth among university students were 2.7%, 0.5%, 5.3%, and 0.8% (Phase 1 study) or 1.4% (Phase 2 study), respectively. The GIS scores of the transgender group were significantly lower than those of the female, male, and LGB groups (p<0.01).

Discussion:
This is the first to clarify the prevalence of LGBT among youth in Japan. It has been suggested that such individuals in Japan, as in other countries, are at risk for physical and mental health concerns, thereby necessitating social and medical intervention. Further investigation in these areas will be needed.
