Abstract
Purpose: Cigarette smoking has adverse effects on kidney transplant recipients, causing cardiovascular disease, kidney function impairment, and cancer. New onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT) represents serious complication of transplantation of solid organs.
Methods: In the group of 252 patients after kidney transplantation, we identified smokers and current non-smokers (the patient who has not been smoking or who is ex smoker) for the period of minimum 24 months. In the monitored period of 12 months after transplantation, we detected presence of NODAT in both groups. The group contained only those patients who did not have diabetes mellitus (of type 1 and 2) at the time of kidney transplantation.
Results: The group of smokers was composed of 88 patients (34.9 %) and non-smokers 164 patients (65.1 %). The average age of smokers was 52 years ± 12.4, and of current non-smokers it was 44.8 years ± 12.8 (P < 0.0001). The smokers had significantly lower body mass index (BMI) at the time of kidney transplantation (P = 0.0059) and also 12 months after transplantation (P = 0.0069), lower weight gain 12 months after transplantation (P = 0.0220) and larger waist circumference 12 months after transplantation (P < 0.0001).
Conclusion: In our group, smoking had no effect on development of NODAT, the smokers had lower values of BMI and waist circumference, however, the guideline development group feels that, as for the general population, success of smoking cessation can be enhanced by offering structured smoking cessation programs.

Authors: Kuznetsov Alexander 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
We discuss Calabi–Yau and fractional Calabi–Yau semiorthogonal components of derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth projective varieties.
The main result is a general construction of a fractional Calabi–Yau category from a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition and a spherical functor.
We give many examples of applications of this construction and discuss some general properties of Calabi–Yau categories.
An Active Learning Pedagogy for International Management: Cases in Germany, Mexico, and Ethiopia
Authors: Brice William David , Katzenstein Jim 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Three very different study abroad visits for US students illustrate limitations of short-term study abroad experiences as well as highlight successful approaches. Lessons can be gained for strategically planning experiences that gain the most cross-cultural learning from short study abroad visits.
Seven US business students attended a two-week business-plan competition in Germany that involved students from six countries. Incidents occurred which could have provided critical cross-cultural learning. Faculty-assisted analysis of these cultural incidents could have been used as teachable moments.
Thirty US business students attended a one-week study visit to Mexico in conjunction with a Mexican university. The students attended economic lectures at the university and visited industrial locations. Students were allowed to do as they wished during free time, without any interaction with host nationals or assisted cultural analysis.
Two US business students journeyed to Ethiopia for a three week visit in conjunction with an Ethiopian business college. The students were involved with in-depth cultural research and intensive interaction with host nationals. Strong gains in cultural understanding were observable.
The thesis of this pedagogical case study is that instructors and program directors should seize upon, and create, the opportunity for unplanned critical incidents. These incidents should not be looked on as problems, difficulties, or bad behavior, but as normal cross-cultural interactions that can teach students more than pre-planned program interactions. Intensive interactions with host nationals in uncontrolled situations, combined with expert analysis, may convey greater cross-cultural learning than controlled formal programs.

Effects of court specific and minimalist footwear on the biomechanics of a maximal 180° cutting manoeuvre
Authors: Sinclair Jonathan Kenneth 
Published: March 2017

PurposeThe aim of the current investigation was to examine the effects of different footwear on the kinetics and kinematics of performing a 180° cutting manoeuvre.MethodsNine male participants performed maximal 180° cut movements in court shoes, minimalist footwear, energy return, and conventional running shoes. Lower limb kinematic data were collected with the use of an 8 camera motion capture system, ground reaction forces were quantified with an embedded force platform, and tibial accelerations were obtained by means of an accelerometer. Differences in kinetics and kinematics between footwear were examined by one-way repeated measures ANOVA.ResultsThe results showed that both instantaneous loading rate and peak tibial acceleration were significantly larger in the minimalist (282.91 BW/s and 6.38 g) and court (326.67 BW/s and 6.35 g) footwear compared with the conventional (143.19 BW/s and 5.46 g) and energy return (106.14 BW/s and 4.98 g) footwear. In addition, peak inversion was revealed to be significantly larger in the minimalist (16.36°) than in conventional (11.86°), court (12.61°), and energy return (10.12°) footwear.ConclusionsThese findings indicate that minimalist and court footwear may place athletes at increased risk from injury when performing 180° cut movements.
Poland and Global Threats
Authors: Kleer Jerzy 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This essay seeks to present the specifics of global threats, as well as the reasons for them being universal in nature, and for their persistence. A certain classification of the threats is also engaged in. At the same time, an attempt is made to show the specific threats present – irrespective of their global counterparts – in different regions, and even in different states. The genesis and nature of the latter are demonstrated in a somewhat ad hoc manner by reference to the threats considered to face Poland. If the global threats are truly universal, and arise out of the changes taking place around the world in the last half-century (primarily around the twin phenomena of globalisation and the information revolution), a specific reverse kind of situation applies to decolonisation, plus the collapse of the communist system and the transformation into market economies that apply to formerly communist countries. Equally, some at least of the threats facing Poland may have even a longer history, given that they are very much influenced by past economic and political development, as well as the dominant cultural system.
Home-range size of the European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris): a report from two areas in Central Italy

Published: March 2017

Abstract
Although the behavioural ecology of the European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) has been studied in several European countries, its home-range size is still poorly known due to elusive behaviour of the species living in typically low population densities. In our study, 11 wildcats from two distinct areas, the Maremma Regional Park (Tuscany; 3 males and 1 female) and the Paradiso di Pianciano Estate (Umbria; 6 males and 1 female), both located in Central Italy, were studied by means of classical VHF radio-tracking. Home ranges were calculated by means of the Brownian bridge movement model (BBMM). Variables significantly affecting home-range size were: study area, gender and the interaction between gender*age. The potential effect of the reproductive season and the nocturnal period was not supported. The main findings indicate that: (1) home-range sizes in Tuscany were larger than those in Umbria; (2) home-range size was positively related to the age of individuals; (3) males exploited larger home ranges than females in all age-classes except for the sub-adult age-class; this latter pattern has never emerged from any previous wildcat radio-telemetry study. Population density, different management regimes in the areas considered and the local abundance of prey may explain differences in home-range sizes between the study areas. The estimated home ranges of wildcats in Umbria were slightly larger than those reported across Europe, while those calculated in the Tuscan study area were significantly greater.

Clinical application of laryngeal electromyography – a point of view
Authors: Pasu Georgiana 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
In recent years, the clinical importance of laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) has been recognized. This method of investigation proved itself to be a valuable and indispensable tool regarding voice disorder management and requires multidisciplinary approach.
In this article, we focus on the clinical usefulness of LEMG to assess inferior and superior motor neuron integrity by recording action potentials generated by muscle fibers of the larynx in the new field known as neurolaryngology. To facilitate the clinical application of this electrophysiologic test, we present a detailed description of LEMG techniques, which were applied for simultaneous bilateral recordings of the thyroarytenoid, cricothyroid and posterior cricoarytenoid muscles. Also, we analysed and measured the following electrophysiological parameters: 1) insertional activity; 2) spontaneous activity; 3) recruitment; 4) morphology of waveform.
From a practical point of view, in our country, LEMG performance is still not a routine procedure in ENT and Phoniatric Departments. The difficulty of practical use of LEMG in Romania consists in technical limitations and it depends on the physician’s experience regarding the examination technique and also the interpretation of electrophysiological results.
Our current clinical experience shows that the use of LEMG contributes especially to the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of patients with neurolaryngological disorders.
Angola - an Oil Dependant Country in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Baumgartner Boris 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe Sub-Saharan Africa belongs to the most underdeveloped regions in the world economy. This region consists of forty nine countries but it’s world GDP share is only a small percentage. There are some very resource rich countries in this region. One of them is Angola. This former Portuguese colony has one of the largest inventories of oil among all African countries. Angola recorded one of the highest growth of GDP between 2004-2008 from all countries in the world economy and nowadays is the third biggest economy in Sub-Saharan Africa after Nigeria and South Africa. The essential problem of Angola is the one-way oriented economy on oil and general on natural resources. Angola will be forced to change their one-way oriented economy to be more diversified and competitive in the future.
Bringing consumption reviews into relief by combining Appraisal and argumentation analysis
Authors: Hommerberg Charlotte 
Published: March 2017

AbstractRecent years have seen a rapid influx of reviews in the field of different aesthetic and consumption domains, which is indicative of the importance assigned by present-day society to what we choose to experience and consume. Given their prevalence, there is a need to find an adequate analytic framework which allows insightful understanding of the discursive construction of such reviews. This paper aims to propose such a framework by combining tools from the Appraisal model with ideas from argumentation theory. The combined methodology is demonstrated using one text from a corpus of wine reviews written by the extraordinarily influential wine critic Robert Parker. The analysis takes into consideration both meanings that are internal to the text and meanings that are text-external, so-called world knowledge. I argue that the technique of reconstruction adopted from argumentation theory helps to highlight and explain how the appraisal works in the text. The findings are generalizable to the extent that the methodology can be used for any type of review text, especially in the domain of present-day luxury consumption, which is not overtly argumentative but which can still be found to have an assessment-basis format that leads its readers toward a certain worldview that they are invited to co-construct and see as rational.
Pragmatic verbal repetition: review and application of a new method of quantification
Authors: Van Lancker Sidtis Diana , Wolf Rachel 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe use of “pragmatic repetition,” the iteration of one’s own speech or the speech of a co-participant, while known to occur in conversation, has been overlooked in the language sciences. This study presents a method for establishing incidence, characteristics, and functions of pragmatic repetition during conversational exchanges. The method is applied to three discourse samples: a screenplay, a television reality show, and an unscripted telephone conversation. The analysis characterizes each repetition in terms of localness (immediate, delayed, or distant in the discourse); degree of preservation (identical or altered); source (self or other); the linguistic unit (word, phrase, clause, or sentence); and type of phrase (formulaic or novel). Three functional categories were identified: maintaining conversational form, enhancing content, and fostering social purposes. Results indicated that 22% of the telephone conversation and 19% of the reality show conversations constituted repeated material as compared to 9% in the screenplay. Analysis of characteristics and functions of pragmatic repetition revealed significant differences between samples. Findings from this study verify the newly developed quantification methodology, solidify the role of repetition in the pragmatics of language, and lead to better understanding of normal discourse.
Synthesis and characterization of [Cu(salen)]2 coordination nano-assembly by a green and simple method
Authors: Mohammadikish Maryam , Bagheri Fatemeh 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Hierarchical structured microplates consisting of nanoparticles were grown based on a self-assembly approach via a hydrothermal synthesis route without using any additive. Experimental parameters, such as reaction temperature, time and solvent play crucial roles in determining the morphology of final product. The nanoscale shape and macroscopically assembled architecture of [Cu(salen)]2 {salen = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)1,2-ethyelenediimine} crystals were totally controlled by preparation conditions for crystal growth. The synthesized [Cu(salen)]2 hierarchical architectures were characterized with UV-Vis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric (TGA) analyses. The thickness of the fabricated plates changes from 25 nm to 3.5 μm. The as-prepared nanoplates are actually composed of nanoparticles with diameters under 100 nm. Furthermore, the formation mechanism of the microplates decorated with nanorods has also been discussed, based on the influence of the kinetics of nucleation and crystal growth.

Authors: Stepanov Victor P. , Kulik Nina P. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The adiabatic compressibility, β, of the immiscible liquid mixture 0.52 LiCl+0.48 AgBr (the top of the miscibility gap) was experimentally investigated in the temperature range from the melting point to the critical mixing temperature using the sound velocity values, u, measured by the pulse method, and the density quantities, ρ, which were determined using the hydrostatic weight procedure based on the relationship β=u−

ρ−

1. It is shown that the coefficients of the temperature dependencies for the compressibility and density of the upper and lower equilibrium phases have opposite signs because of the superposition of the intensity of the thermal motion of the ions and the change in the composition of the phases. The differences, ∆β and ∆ρ, in the magnitudes of the compressibility and density for the equilibrium phases decrease with temperature elevation. The temperature dependencies of the compressibility and density difference are described using the empirical equations ∆β≈(T
c–T)0.438 and ∆ρ≈(T
c–T)0.439.

Authors: Işık Emregül , Haliloglu Belma , van Doorn Jaap , Demirbilek Hüseyin , Scheltinga Sitha A , Losekoot Monique , Wit Jan M 
Published: March 2017

Objective
Acid-labile subunit (ALS) deficiency (ACLSD), caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous IGFALS mutations, is associated with moderate short stature, delayed puberty, low serum IGF-I and ALS and extremely low serum IGFBP-3. Its effect on birth weight, head circumference, bone mineral density (BMD), serum IGF-II and IGFBP-2 is uncertain, as well as the phenotype of heterozygous carriers of IGFALS mutations (partial ACLSD).

Design
From all available members of five Turkish families, carrying three mutations in exon 2 of IGFALS (c.1462G > A, p.Asp488Asn (families A, B, E); c.251A > G, p.Asn84Ser (families C and E) and c.1477del, p.Arg493fs (family D)), clinical, laboratory and BMD data were collected.

Methods
Auxological and biochemical findings were expressed as SDS for age and gender. Ternary complex formation in serum was investigated by size-exclusion chromatography. BMD using DXA bone densitometry was adjusted for height and age (Ha-BMD z-score).

Results
In ACLSD (n = 24), mean ± s.d. height SDS (−2.7 ± 1.2), head circumference SDS (−2.3 ± 0.5) and body mass index (BMI) (−0.6 ± 1.0 SDS) were lower than those in partial ACLSD (n = 26, P ≤ 0.01) and birth weight SDS (n = 7) tended to be lower (−2.2 ± 1.1 vs −0.6 ± 0.3 in partial ACLSD (P = 0.07)). Serum IGF-I was −3.7 ± 1.4 vs −1.0 ± 1.0, IGF-II: −5.6 ± 0.7 vs −1.3 ± 0.7, ALS: <−4.4 ± 1.2 vs −2.1 ± 0.9 and IGFBP-3: −9.0 ± 1.9 vs −1.6 ± 0.8 SDS respectively (P < 0.001). Ha-BMD z-score was similar and normal in both groups.

Conclusions
To the known phenotype of ACLSD (i.e. short stature, reduced serum levels of IGF-I and ALS, extremely low serum IGFBP-3 and disturbed ternary complex formation), we add reduced birth weight, head circumference and serum IGF-II.
ПАТОЛОГИЯ ЛИЧНОСТИ В ТЕОРЕТИЧЕСКИХ ПОСТРОЕНИЯХ ПРЕДСТАВИТЕЛЕЙ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННОЙ МЕТАФИЗИЧЕСКОЙ ТРАДИЦИИ В ПСИХОЛОГИИ

Статья посвящена проблеме восстановления искусственно прерванной метафизической традиции в отечественной персонологии. Данная проблема принадлежит областям истории психологии и психологии личности, но имеет выходы и в предметные области многих других психологических наук, в частности – клинической психологии. Указана важность соотнесения персонологических концептуализаций учёных-метафизиков с клинической практикой в процессе их опытной верификации. Проведена реконструкция и анализ взглядов на психопатологию и психотерапию представителей метафизической традиции в отечественной психологии личности. Согласно данным взглядам, суть патологии личности – в её уклонении от своего назначения, от подлинного бытия ради неподлинных, онтологически неоправданных форм жизнедеятельности.
The article is devoted to the problem of restoration of artificialy interrupted metaphysical tradition in domestic personology. The given problem belongs to the areas of history of psychology and psychology of personality, but provides outcomes in subject matter of many other psychological sciences, in clinical psychology in particular. Importance of correlation between personological conceptualizations of scientists-metaphysicists and clinical practice in the process of their skilled verification is pointed out. The reconstruction and analysis of views at psychopathology and psychotherapy by representatives of metaphysical tradition in domestic psychology of personality have been made. According to the mentioned views, the essence of pathology of personality is in its evasion from the purpose, from original life for the sake of not original, ontologically unjustified forms of ability to live.
