Authors: Ilkım Taha Yasin , Güllü Mehmet 
Published: August 2016

The purpose of this study was to examine the job satisfaction and professional burnout levels of the national and international wrestling referees in terms of various factors in Turkey.The method of the study was the descriptive method. The study group consists of 126 international and national wrestling referees on active duty in 2010-2011 wrestling season. The questionnaire form was used as the data collection tool in the study. The questionnaire form consists of 3 sections, which are the Personal Information Form, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Job Satisfaction Scale. It was observed abnormal distribution of dates of inventory and scale according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test. Due to this reason, the Mann-Whitney U Test was used for the two independent samples test in analyzing the data; the Kruskal-Wallis H Test and the Mann-Whitney U Tests with Bonferroni correction were used for multiple comparisons; and the Spearman Correlation was used in analyzing the relations. The critical point for the significance value was accepted as α=0.05It was determined in the light of the findings of the study that the job satisfaction of the wrestling referees were at the medium level; the emotional exhaustion levels were high; the depersonalization levels were medium; and personal accomplishment levels were low. Significant difference was found among the depersonalization levels of the referees according to the referee categories of the wrestling referees (p<0,05). A significant difference has been found among the monthly average income levels and the emotional exhaustion levels of the wrestling referees (p<0,05). A significant difference was also determined among the viewpoints of the referees on the financial income of the referees and the job satisfaction levels according to the social status (p<0,05). In addition, a reverse, significant and weak relation was found between the job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion levels of the referees (r= -0,255, p<0,01); a reverse, significant and weak relation between the depersonalization (r= -0,97, p<0,01); and a weak positive relation was determined between the personal accomplishment levels (r= 0,341, p<0,01).As a result, the national and international wrestling referees in Turkey do not have adequate satisfaction from being referees, and are experiencing professional burnout. As the job satisfaction levels of the wrestling referees increase, depersonalization levels and emotional exhaustion levels decrease, and personal accomplishment levels increase.

Abstract
Our study was conducted by the examination of angioCT’s, performing external measurements of aortic arch and the exo and endoaortic measurements of its three. The diameter of the thoracic aorta prior to the origin of the brachiocephalic arterial trunk was found with an average of 31.65 mm and below the left subclavian artery origin we found an average diameter of 24.3 mm. The brachiocephalic arterial trunk had an average diameter of 11.575 mm, 6.05 at carotid artery level and 9.05 mm at the level of the left subclavian artery. The endoaortic average diameter of the brachiocephalic arterial trunk: horizontally, 13.0 mm and vertically 11.7 mm; left common carotid artery horizontal diameter was 10.5 mm and 9.7 mm vertically and the left subclavian artery have 14.1 mm horizontally and 10.8 mm vertically.
Isolated Storage of Multi-Tenant Data Based on Shared Schema
Authors: Zou Lida , Li Qingzhong , Kong Lanju 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Multi-tenant data management is an important part of supporting efficient operation of software as a service application. Multi-tenant data use shared schema to reduce resource usage cost. However, massive data of different tenants are stored in the same schema, which causes useless data of other tenants to be read when a tenant just need access its own disk data. In this paper we focus on disk storage method of multi-tenant data based on shared schema to address the above low efficiency of data access. According to isolation requirement of multitenant data, we store a tenant’s data in some contiguous disk blocks. The experimental results illustrate that query efficiency in range query and join query is 1.5–2 times the existing storage method, and no indexing query efficiency improves 10–70 times.
Torsion and the second fundamental form for distributions
Authors: Prince Geoff 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The second fundamental form of Riemannian geometry is generalised to the case of a manifold with a linear connection and an integrable distribution. This bilinear form is generally not symmetric and its skew part is the torsion. The form itself is closely related to the shape map of the connection. The codimension one case generalises the traditional shape operator of Riemannian geometry.
Toeplitz Quantization for Non-commutating Symbol Spaces such as SUq(2)
Authors: Sontz Stephen Bruce 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Toeplitz quantization is defined in a general setting in which the symbols are the elements of a possibly non-commutative algebra with a conjugation and a possibly degenerate inner product. We show that the quantum group SUq(2) is such an algebra. Unlike many quantization schemes, this Toeplitz quantization does not require a measure. The theory is based on the mathematical structures defined and studied in several recent papers of the author; those papers dealt with some specific examples of this new Toeplitz quantization. Annihilation and creation operators are defined as densely defined Toeplitz operators acting in a quantum Hilbert space, and their commutation relations are discussed. At this point Planck’s constant is introduced into the theory. Due to the possibility of non-commuting symbols, there are now two definitions for anti-Wick quantization; these two definitions are equivalent in the commutative case. The Toeplitz quantization introduced here satisfies one of these definitions, but not necessarily the other. This theory should be considered as a second quantization, since it quantizes non-commutative (that is, already quantum) objects. The quantization theory presented here has two essential features of a physically useful quantization: Planck’s constant and a Hilbert space where natural, densely defined operators act.
Essential regularity of the model space for the Weil–Petersson metric
Authors: Daskalopoulos Georgios , Mese Chikako

Abstract
This is the second in a series of papers ([7] and [6] are the others) that studies the behavior of harmonic maps into the Weil–Petersson completion

¯

{\overline{\mathcal{T}}}

of Teichmüller space. The boundary of

𝒯
¯

{\overline{\mathcal{T}}}

is stratified by lower-dimensional Teichmüller spaces and the normal space to each stratum is a product of copies of a singular space

𝐇
¯

{\overline{\bf H}}

called the model space. The significance of

𝐇
¯

{\overline{\bf H}}

is that it captures the singular behavior of the Weil–Petersson geometry of

𝒯
¯

{\overline{\mathcal{T}}}

.
The main result of the paper is that certain subsets of

𝐇
¯

{\overline{\bf H}}

are essentially regular in the sense that harmonic maps to those spaces admit uniform approximation by affine functions. This is a modified version of the notion of essential regularity introduced by Gromov–Schoen in [12] for maps into Euclidean buildings and is one of the key ingredients in proving superrigidity.
In the process, we introduce new coordinates on

𝐇
¯

{\overline{\bf H}}

and estimate the metric and its derivatives with respect to the new coordinates. These results form the technical core for studying the analytic behavior of harmonic maps into the completion of Teichmüller space and are utilized in our subsequent paper [6], where we prove the holomorphic rigidity of the Teichmüller space and several rigidity results for the mapping class group.
John Poinsot Immer Wieder
Authors: Ponzio Augusto 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This review addresses the noteworthy enterprise accomplished by John Deely on translating and editing the important work by John Poinsot, Tractatus de Signis. I have underlined that his is not only a historiographical contribution, as important as his work may be from this point of view as well. Rather, Deely’s contribution is of a highly theoretical order, concerned as he is to evidence the line of ideal continuity between Poinsot, Locke, and Sebeok. Such continuity consists mainly in a conception of semiotics 1) as a “doctrine of signs”; and 2) as capable of overcoming the pars pro toto fallacy which, in modernity, presents itself in the form of sémiologie. John Deely has dedicated a large part of his research to John Poinsot, producing not only two new editions of his Tractatus, the first published in 1985 and the second in 2013, but also numerous essays and the important trilogy with which he compares Poinsot to St. Augustine, Descartes, and Peirce. The last part of the present text compares Poinsot’s position with Peter of Spain’s, considering conceptual correspondences in both with Peirce’s semiotics.
Semiotic Animal: Waking up to Reciprocity
Authors: Pelkey Jamin 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This article reviews Deely’s 2010 book, Semiotic Animal, with its argument that to embrace the semiotic animal as the core of human being is to embrace the interdependence between ourselves and everything else. The article considers other formulations of the nature of humanity aside from Deely’s and finds that their explanatory power is greatly limited by comparison.
Project Risk Register Analysis Based on the Theoretical Analysis of Project Management Notion of Risk
Authors: Uzulāns Juris 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The aim of the current research is to examine publicly available project risk registers to find correlations between the project management theory, especially project risk management, and practical results of real project risk management – the risk registers publicly available on the Internet.
In the research, the author has analysed the compliance between the theories of the project risk management described in the “Aid Delivery Methods. Volume I. Project Cycle Management Guidelines” and “Caltrans Project Risk Management Handbook, Threats and Opportunities, Second Edition, Revision 0” and the project risk registers.
In the previous studies, the author concluded that after analysing just 30 risk registers significant differences could be found between the risk register described in the theory and risk registers of real projects. The results of the theoretical analysis of the notion “risk” provide information for deeper analysis of the risk registers publicly available on the Internet.
Financial Security in the Baltic States: Comparison with Selected EU Countries
Authors: Semjonova Nadežda 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The present paper applies recently developed consolidated indicator of the state financial security to the situation in Baltic States and some EU countries. The indicator summarises a number of economic and financial parameters relevant to the financial independence of the country. The resulting indicator demonstrates a reasonable correlation with sovereign Fitch rating both for Baltic States and the “old” EU countries, but Fitch rating gives more optimistic evaluation for old EU countries.
Continuous cold exposure induces an anti-inflammatory response in mesenteric adipose tissue associated with catecholamine production and thermogenin expression in rats
Authors: Vargovic P. , Manz G. , Kvetnansky R. 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Objective. Continuous exposure to cold leads to an activation of adaptive thermogenesis in the brown adipose tissue and induction of brown/beige cell phenotype in the white adipose tissue. Thermogenic response is associated with alternatively activated macrophages producing catecholamines, which subsequently activate the uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1). The aim of this work was to elucidate the effect of cold exposure on catecholamine and immune responses associated with adipocyte browning in the mesenteric adipose tissue (mWAT) of rat.
Methods. The rats were exposed to continuous cold (4 °C) for 1 or 7 days. Catecholamines production and gene expressions of inflammatory and other factors, related to adipocyte “browning”, were analyzed in the homogenized mWAT samples using 2-CAT ELISA kits.
Results. Cold exposure induced a sympathetic response in the mWAT, evidenced by the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) protein level rise. Induction of non-sympathetical catecholamine production was observed 7 days after cold exposure by elevated TH and phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT) expression, leading to an increased epinephrine levels. Cold exposure for 7 days stimulated the infiltration of macrophages, evaluated by F4/80 and CD68 expressions, and expression of anti-inflammatory mediators, while pro-inflammatory cytokines were inhibited. Anti- inflammatory response, accompanied by de novo catecholamine production and up-regulation of β3-adrenergic receptors, led to the stimulation of UCP-1 and PGC1α expression, suggesting a cold-induced “browning” of the mWAT, mediated by alternatively activated macrophages.
Conclusions. The present data indicate that prolonged cold exposure may induce anti-inflammatory response in mWAT associated with induction of UCP-1 expression. Although functional thermogenesis in the mWAT is most likely redundant, a highly efficient dissipation of energy by UCP1 may affect the energy homeostasis in this visceral fat.
A viable mouse model for Netherton syndrome based on mosaic inactivation of the Spink5 gene

Published: August 2016

Abstract
Netherton syndrome (NS) is caused by mutations in the SPINK5 gene. Several Spink5-deficient mouse models were generated to understand the mechanisms of NS in vivo. However, Spink5-deficiency in mice is associated with postnatal lethality that hampers further analysis. Here we present a viable mouse model for NS generated by mosaic inactivation of the Spink5 gene. We propose that these mice are a valuable experimental tool to study NS, especially for long-term studies evaluating potential therapeutic compounds. Furthermore, we show that mosaic inactivation of a gene using TALENs or CRISPR/Cas9 systems can be used to study lethal phenotypes in adult mice.
Energy Transport across the Thin Films Pair with Presence of Minute Vacuum Gap at Interface
Authors: Ali Haider , Yilbas Bekir Sami 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Cross-plane energy transport in aluminum and silicon films pair with presence of minute vacuum gap in between them is investigated. Laser short-pulse heating is introduced in the aluminum film and energy transfer in the films pair is formulated using the Boltzmann equation. Energy exchange between the electron and lattice subsystems is expressed in terms of the electron–phonon coupling. The vacuum gap size is considered to be less than the mean-free path silicon and the Casimir limit is applied to incorporate the thermal radiation contribution to the overall energy transport across the vacuum gap. It is found that ballistic phonon contribution to energy transfer across the vacuum gap is significant and the contribution of the thermal radiation, due to Casimir limit, to energy transfer is small. The vacuum gap size has significant effect on the energy transfer from aluminum film to the silicon film; in which case, increasing vacuum gap size enhances temperature difference across the interface of the vacuum gap.

Authors: Gill Harsimranjit Singh , Bhatia Kamaljit Singh , Gill Sandeep Singh 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
In this paper, security issues for optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) systems are emphasized. The encryption has been done on the data of coded OFDM symbols using data encryption standard (DES) algorithm before transmitting through the fiber. The results obtained justify that the DES provides better security to the input data without further bandwidth requirement. The data is transmitted to a distance of 1,000 km in a single-mode fiber with 16-quadrature amplitude modulation. The peak-to-average power ratio and optical signal-to-noise ratio of secure coded OFDM signal is fairly better than the conventional OFDM signal.
Shaping the “Habits of mind” of diverse learners in early childhood teacher education programs through powerpoint: An illustrative case
Authors: Kirova Anna , Massing Christine , Prochner Larry , Cleghorn Ailie 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This study examines the use of PowerPoint as a teaching tool in a workplace- embedded program aimed at bridging immigrant/refugee early childhood educators into post-secondary studies, and how, in the process, it shapes students’ “habits of mind” (Turkle, 2004). The premise of the study is that it is not only the bodies of knowledge shaping teacher education programs which must be interrogated, but also the ways in which instructors and programs choose to represent and impart these understandings to students. The use of PowerPoint to advance an authoritative western, linear, rule-governed form of logic is analyzed based on McLuhan and McLuhan’s (1988) and Adams’ (2006) tetrads. The findings demonstrate that Power- Point enhances western authoritative ways of being through its modes of communication and representation, means of organizing information, forms of representing content and pedagogical approaches, thus obsolescing or displacing immigrant/refugee students’ own indigenous ways of knowing. Since learning always involves the development, integration, and reorganization of tools, and the medium is an extension of the self (McLuhan, 2003), the students should have multimodal opportunities to engage with and represent knowledge. When such opportunities are not provided, the life experiences and cultural knowledges of immigrant/refugee students are silenced. Expanding communicative and representative forms in early childhood teacher education programs is necessary to promote a more inclusive environment.
Between the Normative and the Performative: Sex, Parody, and Other (In)tractable Issues in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Miller’s Tale
Authors: Popescu Dan Nicolae 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The article explores how Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales discusses human sexuality as a major thematic concern in both its normative and its performative dimension, and sex, an (in)tractable issue throughout the Middle Ages, as a core motif that helps the author to explore the extant tension between the human and the ideal. On the other hand, parody and audience/reader response are important instruments in the medieval poet’s strategy of approaching delicate matters in his pilgrims’ tales, which become readily apparent in the ‘order of play’ in which the tales come. The Miller disrupts the story-telling order because this disruption serves Chaucer’s purpose of questioning the validity of the courtly love concept through a parody of courtly romance, much like the poet’s purported distancing from the heretical views upon human sexuality expressed by the Miller can be decoded as an attempt to restore the balance of power between doctrinal inflexibility and humans’ timeless desire for the natural.
Teaching the Nation: Literature and History in Teaching English
Authors: Colăcel Onoriu 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Teaching English as a foreign language is rooted in the national interest of English-speaking countries that promote their own culture throughout the world. To some extent, ‘culture’ is a byword for what has come to be known as the modern nation. Mainly the UK and the US are in the spotlight of EFL teaching and learning. At the expense of other, less ‘sought-after’ varieties of English, British and American English make the case for British and American cultures. Essentially, this is all about Britishness and Americanness, as the very name of the English variety testifies to the British or the American standard. Of course, the other choice, i.e. not to make a choice, is a statement on its own. One way or another, the attempt to pick and choose shapes teaching and learning EFL. However, English is associated with teaching cultural diversity more than other prestige languages. Despite the fact that its status has everything to do with the colonial empire of Great Britain, English highlights the conflict between the use made of the mother tongue to stereotype the non-native speaker of English and current Anglo- American multiculturalism. Effectively, language-use is supposed to shed light on the self-identification patterns that run deep in the literary culture of the nation. Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) encompasses the above-mentioned and, if possible, everything else from the popular culture of the English-speaking world. It feels safe to say that the intractable issue of “language teaching as political action” (Cook, 2016: 228) has yet to be resolved in the classrooms of the Romanian public schools too.
