Multiattribute Decision Making Method Based on Intuitionistic Linguistic Aggregation Operator
Authors: Chen Jing , Wang Zhongxing 
Published: March 2017

AbstractIn this paper, some new operational laws for intuitionistic linguistic numbers are defined via Archimedean t-norm and s-norm. The prominent feature of these operations is that these operations are closed. Some main properties of these operations, like commutativity, associativity and distribution law, are investigated. Based on these operational laws, intuitionistic linguistic weighted arithmetic averaging operator is given to aggregate intuitionistic linguistic information. Furthermore, in order to reduce uncertain information of intuitionistic linguistic number, hesitancy degree is divided into degrees of membership and non-membership in proportions, and new expected function and score function are built and used to rank intuitionistic linguistic numbers. Finally, an approach is proposed to solve multiattribute decision making problems in which attribute weights are real numbers and attribute values are intuitionistic linguistic numbers, and a real example is provided to show the effectiveness and applicability of the new method.
STORY OF CINDERELLA AND TAJIK-PERSIAN NARRATIVE OF YUSUF AND ZULAIKHA: RE-INTERPRETING THE “DEEP STRUCTURES” WITH REFERENCE TO CURRENT SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXT
Authors: Serenkov Yu. S. , Radzhabova Yu. M. 
Published: March 2017

“Rags to riches” as an invariant “deep” structure of many stories about restored dignity and status has been in universal literary use since the eminent version of “Cinderella” in the Grimm brothers’ collection of fairy-tales. So has the “deep” structure of an individual’s moral evolution towards god, as made explicit by many narratives taking after the Quran story of Yusuf. After morphological dissection of Cinderella and Jami’s Yusuf and Zulaikha stories (performed with V. Propp’s original scheme in view) we discovered certain similarities between the respective underlying structures despite the stories’ apparent difference. Taking into consideration a number of later adoptions of Cinderella and Yusuf / Zulaikha plots, the authors put forward a hypothesis about culture-and-society determined reciprocal rapprochement and transformation of interpretation dominants in more recent narratives of the respective traditions. At that, “spiritual growth towards god” stories acquire certain features of the society-bound “rag to riches” progression and, vice versa, “rags to riches” narratives become increasingly suggestive of god’s favour as the highest value. If duly supported by scientific evidence, the hypothesis could assist in further study of causes and outcomes of an on-going “orientalization” of western culture and westernization of that of the Orient.
MAIN PRINCIPLES OF SEMANTIC ANALYSIS IN LINGUOCRIMINALISTIC TEXT EXAMINATION
Authors: Sternin I. A. 
Published: March 2017

Now it is possible to speak about a number of basic principles of the description of semantics of language units during expert research of the disputable text which should underlie any expert linguistic research. The major of them, relevant for expert estimation of semantics of a word in disputable text, are the following: 1. The account of polysemy of words and expressions. 2. The account of context of the use of a disputable word or expression. 3. The account of situation of the use of a disputable word or expression. 4. The account of real language consciousness of the ordinary native speaker. The article features the substantiation of each of these principles and presents examples of realization of each of the principles in the practical analysis of the text.
PROPOSITIONALITY AND FACTIVITY EXPRESSED BY CONJUNCTIONS DA, ŠTO AND ČE IN SERBIAN AND BULGARIAN FROM THE SUBJUNCTIVE PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Janić A. A. 
Published: March 2017

The subject of this paper is the semantic and syntactic nature of Serbian complementizers da and što, as well as Bulgarian da and če, and the relation among all of them in the light of (non-)specificity for factivity and propositionality. They have been analyzed in various syntactic contexts and have also been related to the possible world semantics, as well as to the subjunctive semantics. Stemming from the relation propositional-factive, it is concluded that da-complements in Bulgarian can just be connected to a strong subjunctivity. On the other hand, with dacomplements in Serbian both the strong and the weak subjunctive are expressed. Considering all of the above, it is clear that the usage of da is broader in Serbian than in Bulgarian, and that da marks the subjunctive context in both languages. After comparing these four complementizers, we can conclude that the Bulgarian da is stronger than the Serbian da, and that the Serbian što is stronger than the Bulgarian če. In other words, the Serbian da (it can be propositional or factive) and Bulgarian če (propositional or factive) are non-specified complementizers, contrary to the Bulgarian da (propositional) and Serbian što (mainly factive, compared to sentences with da), which are specified.
THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE BATTLE OF NORTHAMPTON ON JULY 10, 1460 AND THE SIEGE OF LONDON TOWER
Authors: Prazdnikov A. G. 
Published: March 2017

The social history of the Wars of the Roses is still relevant, as the extent of its social influence remains a matter of debate. Determination of the personal composition of participants of the most important events of the conflict will help in solving this problem. A prosopography method provides the good opportunity to determine the involvement of representatives of different social strata. The study subject is a group of 49 people who took part in the battle of Northampton and the siege of London Tower in 1460, on the side of both Lancaster and York. The greatest part of them was lords, which is connected with the nature of the sources: chronicles is usually mentioned only the names of the commanders. At the same time, the main peculiarity of the battle was the presence of a large number of Church prelates. The reason for this was the support of the Yorkists by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Bourchier, and the papal legate Francesco Coppini. There are only nine names of the knights who participated in the battle and the siege in the chronicles, although the representatives of the gentry were middle and lower officers. The research has shown that family and personal connections played a decisive role in the choice of the parties to the conflict. The majority of the participants, their brothers and sons, as a rule, remained faithful to one particular dynasty, which does not allow one to estimate the age of the Wars of the Roses as the time of breaking the traditional system of relations.
Natural vs. anthropogenic effects in the composition of dissolved inorganic carbon in a boreal river with a seasonal base flow component
Authors: Niinikoski Paula I. A. , Karhu Juha A. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Studying the carbon balance in surface waters gives information on the annual cycles of photosynthesis and respiration. It also provides insight on the water body's capability to serve as a source or sink for atmospheric CO2, which may be essential in evaluating the effects of climate change. The target of this study was the Vantaanjoki River known to have a significant base flow component, located in a densely populated area in southern Finland. The aims of this study were firstly to study if human induced changes are evident in the inorganic carbon quality of the river, and secondly to determine whether the river releases carbon to the atmosphere. These aims were achieved by studying the isotopic composition and contents of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in relation to river discharge. It was evident from the results that the human activities only have mild local and temporal effects on the quality of the DIC in the river. The most important contributors to the changes in the carbon balance are the annual changes in the proportion of the base flow and surface flow components and the escape of CO2 to the atmosphere.
Ecology and population studies of land slug, laevicaulis alte in shahada region
Authors: Bhavare M.K , Magare S.R 
Published: March 2017

The land slug, Laevicaulis alteis very commonly found in and around shahada tehsils. These are hermaphrodite and reproduce by cross fertilization. The annual reproductive cycle passes through three phases. The pre-reproductive phase is the preparatory phase in which accumulation of various nutritive molecules occurs.The preparatory phase occurs before onset of monsoon. The monsoon is the breeding phase in which availability of water and moisture in the environment influences the breeding activities.They lay about 22-26 eggs in a chain of mucus like jelly found in humus or under any substratum and decaying leaves in and around moist area. Slugs in Dongargaon (Site-A) and Manarad (Site-B) habitat were observed in Shahada city area.The population correlation studies between alkaline nature (pH) of soil and number of slugs in Site-A is r²=0.13 and in Site-B isr²= 0.61.The rainfall in the season is the prime factor that might causes fluctuations in the breeding activities. The population and breeding behaviour of Laevicaulis alteis studiedin shahada area. In present work the correlation of ecological changes and breeding cycle of a land slug Laevicaulis alteis studied during June 2015 to March 2016.
Effect of Uric Acid Lowering on Renin-Angiotensin-System Activation and Ambulatory BP: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: McMullan Ciaran J. , Borgi Lea , Fisher Naomi , Curhan Gary , Forman John 
Published: March 2017

Background and objectives
Higher serum uric acid levels, even within the reference range, are strongly associated with increased activity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and risk of incident hypertension. However, the effect of lowering serum uric acid on RAS activity in humans is unknown, although the data that lowering serum uric acid can reduce BP are conflicting.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
In a double-blind placebo-controlled trial conducted from 2011 to 2015, we randomly assigned 149 overweight or obese adults with serum uric acid ≥5.0 mg/dl to uric acid lowering with either probenecid or allopurinol, or to placebo. The primary endpoints were kidney-specific and systemic RAS activity. Secondary endpoints included mean 24-hour systolic BP, mean awake and asleep BP, and nocturnal dipping.

Results
Allopurinol and probenecid markedly lowered serum uric acid after 4 and 8 weeks compared with placebo (mean serum uric acid in allopurinol, probenecid, and placebo at 8 weeks was 2.9, 3.5, and 5.6 mg/dl, respectively). The change in kidney-specific RAS activity, measured as change in the median (interquartile range) renal plasma flow response to captopril (in ml/min per 1.73 m2) from baseline to 8 weeks, was −4 (−25 to 32) in the probenecid group (P=0.83), −4 (−16 to 9) in the allopurinol group (P=0.32), and 1 (−21 to 17) in the placebo group (P=0.96), with no significant treatment effect (P=0.77). Similarly, plasma renin activity and plasma angiotensin II levels did not significantly change with treatment. The change in mean (±SD) 24-hour systolic BPs from baseline to 8 weeks was −1.6±10.1 with probenecid (P=0.43), −0.4±6.1 with allopurinol (P=0.76), and 0.5±6.0 with placebo (P=0.65); there was no significant treatment effect (P=0.58). Adverse events occurred in 9%, 12%, and 2% of those given probenecid, allopurinol, or placebo, respectively.

Conclusions
In contrast to animal experiments and observational studies, this randomized, placebo-controlled trial found that uric acid lowering had no effect on kidney-specific or systemic RAS activity after 8 weeks or on mean systolic BP. These data do not support the hypothesis that higher levels of uric acid are a reversible risk factor for increased BP.

Meeting Scholars Where They Are: The Advanced Research Consortium (ARC) and a Social Humanities Infrastructure
Authors: Grumbach Elizabeth , Mandell Laura 
Published: March 2017

The Advanced Research Consortium (ARC) is the central organizing force for several virtual research environments (VREs). ARC is the hub for these period-specific nodes, which offer digital project peer review, aggregation and search technologies, and forms of community engagement. The mission of both ARC and the nodes is to construct and support a “social system” for the humanities in which the digital and the traditional can come together to develop a working social humanities infrastructure. This article discusses how the ARC infrastructure evolved from the framework of scholarly engagement developed by NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-Century Electronic Scholarship) and explains how the consortium assists the scholarly community: through digital project peer review, aggregation and search, and outreach services.
