Language and the game of chess
Authors: Ducard Dominique 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThe comparison between a game, in particular the game of chess, and language, has a long tradition in philosophy and in language sciences. Greimas was thus following in the wake of his predecessors Saussure, Hjelmslev, and Wittgenstein when he put forward a semiotic view of this analogy. I shall review and comment on the texts of these three earlier thinkers as a way of introducing the views of Greimas and examining the shift in his thinking and the position he adopts. An interpretative reading of the brief article he devoted to the question enables us, moreover, to underline what the semiotic action of theorising language actually consisted of, in its method and epistemology, and also to show that underneath the demand for scientificity lies a “quête inquiète”
The expression belongs to Denis Bertrand, who very rightly states: “This is why the formalism of Greimas cannot be separated from an ethic. The articulation of significations is inseparable from an unquiet quest for meaning” (Bertrand 1993: 16). (unquiet quest) regarding the “paraître imparfait” (imperfect appearance) of meaning.
Cognitive rhetoric of effect: energy flow as a means of persuasion in inaugurals
Authors: Potapenko Serhiy 
Published: December 2016

AbstractCognitive rhetoric of effect deals with creating a referent’s favourable image throughout four text-forming stages: invention (looking for arguments); disposition (argument arrangement); elocution (verbal ornamentation); and performance, combining the ancient canons of memory and delivery. The cognitive procedures of rhetoric of effect rest on conceptual structures of sensory-motor origin: image schemas, i.e. recurring dynamic patterns of our perceptual interactions and motor programmes (Johnson, 1987, p.xiv), and force dynamics, i.e. a semantic category in the realm of physical force generalized into domains of internal psychological relationships and social interactions (Talmy, 2000, p.409). The embedding of sensory-motor structures into the text-forming stages reveals that cognitive rhetorical effects are created by managing the energy flow, which consists of force and motion transformations denoted by particular linguistic units. The phenomenon is exemplified by the analysis of the way impressions of freedom celebration and freedom defence are formed in the inaugurals of J.F. Kennedy (1961) and G.W. Bush (2005) respectively.

Food and Feeding of Fishes. What Do We Need to Know?
Authors: Saikia Surjya Kumar 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Unrevealing food and feeding habits of fishes is the centre of research in aquatic biology, ecology, conservation biology and fisheries. The current practice in feeding ecology of fish accredits it as descriptive ecology, relying primarily on the information of their diet, directly through gut analysis or indirectly by computing some diet based indices. Such methods often mislead in the understanding of the true feeding behaviour of organisms need for more reliable and functional approach. The main objective of feeding ecology is to evaluate feeding behaviour of fish. Recent developments in tools and techniques of analytical research is an opportunity to take up more reliable details by formulating affordable methodical design for recording, modulating and designing suitable approaches for better explanation of the feeding biology in fish.
Neimark-Sacker Bifurcation and Chaotic Behaviour of a Modified Host–Parasitoid Model
Authors: Din Qamar , Gümüş Özlem Ak , Khalil Hammad 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
We study some qualitative behaviour of a modified discrete-time host–parasitoid model. Modification of classical Nicholson–Bailey model is considered by introducing Pennycuick growth function for the host population. Furthermore, the existence and uniqueness of positive equilibrium point of proposed system is investigated. We prove that the positive solutions of modified system are uniformly bounded and the unique positive equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable under certain parametric conditions. Moreover, it is also investigated that system undergoes Neimark–Sacker bifurcation by using standard mathematical techniques of bifurcation theory. Complexity and chaotic behaviour are confirmed through the plots of maximum Lyapunov exponents. In order to stabilise the unstable steady state, the feedback control strategy is introduced. Finally, in order to support theoretical discussions, numerical simulations are provided.

The X-ray diffraction studies have shown that the metal ions in 1 and 2 are both six-coordinated to two nitrogen atoms of two BIPMO ligands and four oxygen atoms of two hfac ligands to form a distorted octahedral geometry. Each BIPMO ligand acts as a bridging ligand to link two adjacent metal(II) atoms to form a helical chain in the crystal structure.

Abstract
A new cyanido-bridged bimetallic copper(II)–silver(I) complex, [Cu(Dach)2-Ag(CN)2-Cu(Dach)2][Ag(CN)2]3 (1) (Dach=cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane), has been prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray analysis. The crystal structure of complex 1 consists of a centrosymmetric trinuclear cation and three non-coordinated [Ag(CN)2]− ions assembled in the form of a trimer, {[Ag(CN)2]−}3. The complex ion is made up of two [Cu(Dach)2]2+ units connected by a bridging [Ag(CN)2]− anion. The copper atom in the complex ion assumes a distorted square pyramidal geometry with CN− nitrogen atoms occupying the apical position. The trinuclear units are joined by hydrogen bonding to form irregular chains.
Unified linear time-invariant model predictive control for strong nonlinear chaotic systems
Authors: Zhang Yuan , Sun Mingwei , Chen Zengqiang 
Published: December 2016

It is well known that an alone linear controller is difficult to control a chaotic system, because intensive nonlinearities exist in such system. Meanwhile, depending closely on a precise mathematical modeling of the system and high computational complexity, model predictive control has its inherent drawback in controlling nonlinear systems. In this paper, a unified linear time-invariant model predictive control for intensive nonlinear chaotic systems is presented. The presented model predictive control algorithm is based on an extended state observer, and the precise mathematical modeling is not required. Through this method, not only the required coefficient matrix of impulse response can be derived analytically, but also the future output prediction is explicitly calculated by only using the current output sample. Therefore, the computational complexity can be reduced sufficiently. The merits of this method include, the Diophantine equation needing no calculation, and independence of precise mathematical modeling. According to the variation of the cost function, the order of the controller can be reduced, and the system stability is enhanced. Finally, numerical simulations of three kinds of chaotic systems confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Authors: Mınak Gülhan , Altun Ishak 
Published: December 2016

In this study, we give some fixed point results for multivalued mappings using α-admissibility and θ-contractivity of multivalued mappings on complete metric spaces. Our results are proper generalizations of some fixed point results related to multivalued contraction. We also provide an example showing this fact. Finally, we obtain some ordered fixed point results for multivalued mappings as corollary.
On a differential system arising in the network control theory
Authors: Brokan Eduard , Sadyrbaev Felix 
Published: December 2016

We investigate the three-dimensional dynamical system occurring in the network regulatory systems theory for specific choices of regulatory matrix { { 0, 1, 1 } { 1, 0, 1 } { 1, 1, 0 } } and sigmoidal regulatory function f(z) = 1 / (1 + e-μz), where z = ∑ Wij xj - θ. The description of attracting sets is provided. The attracting sets consist of respectively one, two or three critical points. This depends on whether the parameters (μ,θ) belong to a set Ω or to the complement of Ω or to the boundary of Ω, where Ω is fully defined set.

Authors: Liu Xia , Wang Jingling 
Published: December 2016

This paper mainly concerns the derivation of the normal forms of the Bogdanov–Takens (BT) and triple zero bifurcations for differential systems with m discrete delays. The feasible algorithms to determine the existence of the corresponding bifurcations of the system at the origin are given. By using center manifold reduction and normal form theory, the coefficient formulas of normal forms are derived and some examples are presented to illustrate our main results.
Approximate controllability of a second-order neutral stochastic differential equation with state dependent delay
Authors: Das Sanjukta , Pandey Dwijendra N. , Sukavanam Nagarajan 
Published: December 2016

In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of mild solution is initially obtained by use of measure of noncompactness and simple growth conditions. Then the conditions for approximate controllability are investigated for the distributed second-order neutral stochastic differential system with respect to the approximate controllability of the corresponding linear system in a Hilbert space. We construct controllability operators by using simple and fundamental assumptions on the system components. We use the lemma, which implies the approximate controllability of the associated linear system. This lemma is also described as a geometrical relation between the range of the operator B and the subspaces Ni⊥, i = 1, 2, 3, associated with sine and cosine operators in L2([0, a], X) and L2([0, a], LQ). Eventually, we show that the reachable set of the stochastic control system lies in the reachable set of its associated linear control system. An example is provided to illustrate the presented theory.
On new chaotic and hyperchaotic systems: A literature survey
Authors: Lassoued Abir , Boubaker Olfa 
Published: December 2016

This paper provides a thorough survey of new chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. An analysis of the dynamic behavior of these complex systems is presented by pointing out their originality and elementary characteristics. Recently, such systems have been increasingly used in various fields such as secure communication, encryption and finance and so on. In practice, each field requires specific performances with peculiar complexity. A particular classification is then proposed in this paper based on the Lyapunov exponent, the equilibriums points and the attractor forms.

Authors: Karpagam Saravanan , Zlatanov Boyan 
Published: December 2016

Let (X,d) be a metric space and A1, A2, ..., Ap be nonempty subsets of X. We introduce a self map T on X, called p-cyclic orbital contraction map on the union of A1, A2, ..., Ap and obtain a unique best proximity point of T. That is, a point x ∈ ∪i=1pAi such that d(x,Tx) = dist(Ai, Ai+1), 1 ≤ i ≤ p, where dist(Ai, Ai+1) = inf d(x,y: x ∈ Ai, y ∈ Ai+1).

Published: December 2016

In this paper, we introduce the concept of partial cone b-metric spaces as a generalization of partial metric, cone metric and b-metric spaces and establish some topological properties of partial cone b-metric spaces. Moreover, we also prove some common fixed point theorems for cyclic contractive mappings in such spaces. Our results generalize and extend the main results of Huang and Zhang [Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 332:1468–1476, 2007], Stanić et al. [Common fixed point under contractive condition of Ćirić's type on cone metric type spaces, Fixed Point Theory Appl., 2012:35, 2012] and Latif et al. [Fixed point results for generalized (α,ψ)‐Meir–Keeler contractive mappings and applications, J. Inequal. Appl., 2014:68, 2014]. Some examples and an application are given to support the usability of the obtained results.
On the stability and Hopf bifurcation of the non-zero uniform endemic equilibrium of a time-delayed malaria model
Authors: Ncube Israel 
Published: December 2016

This article considers a time-delayed mathematical model of immune response to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) malaria. Infected red blood cells display a wide variety of surface antigens to which the body in turn responds by mounting specific immune responses as well as cross-reactive immune responses. The model studied here tracks these infected red blood cells as well as the two types of immune responses. It is assumed that the immune responses are time-delayed, and hence a system of nonlinear delay differential equations is considered. The goal of the paper is to provide a vigorous analysis of the stability and Hopf bifurcation of the non-zero uniform endemic equilibrium of the mathematical model.

Abstract: Introduction and aim: Melanoma is a highly aggressive tumour with often unpredictable outcome. Our aim with this study was to determine factors influencing early detection of melanoma. Method: We analyzed 139 questionnaires completed by patients diagnosed with melanoma. Results: We found that our patients are health-conscious regarding cardiovascular diseases and attend cancer screenings on recall. However, their knowledge about melanoma is insufficient. Most of them perform skin self-examination, but they do not know what to check. Melanoma is detected mostly by the patients themselves, but it takes more than one year to consult a doctor. Our study confirmed that patients’ attitude toward melanoma is an important factor influencing early detection. We found that physical examination and communication about skin cancer prevention is not part of the routine medical care. Conclusions: It is important to improve knowledge about melanoma among the general population and health care providers and to emphasize that early detection can save lives. Orv.

Abstract: Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for single gene defects is a well established method in assisted reproductive technologies. Karyomapping is a genome wide parental haplotyping using a high density single nucleotide polymorphism array that allows the diagnosis of any single gene defects. A couple with an affected child with primary congenital glaucoma attended at our clinic. Six oocyte-cumulus-complex was retrieved and all three mature oocytes were inseminated. One zygote showed the signs of normal fertilization and was cultured for five days. Trophectoderm biopsy and karyomapping analysis were carried out. Result showed a heterozygous carrier for primary congenital glaucoma. Embryo was thawed and transferred and a healthy girl was delivered at term. Here we report the first live birth following in vitro fertilization combined with preimplantation genetic diagnosis using karyomapping in Hungary. Karyomapping is able to accurately detect single gene disorders from a limited amount of samples without a significant preclinical workup. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(51), 2048–2050.
A vér–agy gát működése, öregedése és diszfunkciója. Átjutás a barrieren
Authors: Erdő Franciska , Hutka Barbara , Dénes László 
Published: December 2016

Abstract: The blood–brain barrier is an interface between the circulation and brain. It is responsible for the homeostasis of central nervous system, protection and feeding of the brain and for providing the conditions for fine regulation of neurons. The coordinated function of different cell types and the regulated expression of molecular systems make possible the functionality of blood–brain barrier. However, this complex system can be broken due to different insults with a consequence of appearance of elevated levels of unwanted exogenous and endogenous molecules in the brain involved in the pathomechanisms of several disorders. The most important risk factor for the damage of blood–brain barrier is the aging itself, which causes disruption of the barrier through DNA mutation, oxidative stress and release of inflammatory mediators. Although the physiological aging is accompanied by morphological changes, the dysfunction of membrane transporters could also lead to neurodegenerative disorders. Structure, function and breakdown of the blood–brain barrier and the possibilities to cross it, are presented. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(51), 2019–2027.

A clinical study of gastric outlet obstruction
Authors: Clement H. Suresh , Cherukumalli Ram Prasad , Rao Ch. Ravinder 
Published: December 2016

Background:From the standpoint of pathology, the term pyloric stenosis is usually inaccurate at least in adult patients, since the site of obstruction is rarely situated at the pylorus itself but, is more often placed immediately proximal to the spinchter where the diagnosis of carcinoma is most probable or more distally in the duodenal bulb where the cause is almost invariably a duodenal ulcer. The aim was to study infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, benign peptic ulcer and gastric carcinoma and evaluation of electrolyte abnormalities in gastric outlet obstruction, to study various modalities of treatment and to assess pertaining to recovery from paralytic ileus. Methods: This was a clinical observational study comprising of 40 cases of gastric outlet obstruction. The patients for this study have been selected from Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar, Telangana, India from December 2013- November 2015. The cases were selected who were willing to undergo surgery.Results:Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (CHPS) is more common among first born male infants. Parental consanguinity is associated with increased incidence of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. CHPS is common in the age group of first 3-6 weeks of life (average 4 weeks). Males are more commonly affected with gastric outlet obstructions in adults. Cicatrized duodenal ulcer is more common in the age group of 30-40 years, while carcinoma stomach is more common in age group of 50-60 years. Vomiting and visible gastric peristalsis are the most common and constant symptom and sign of gastric outlet obstruction, more so in cases of cicatrized duodenal ulcers.Conclusions:Ramstedt’s pyloromyotomy is the gold standard treatment for CHPS. Patients with gastric outlet obstruction due to cicatrized duodenal ulcer require truncal vagotomy with posterior gastrojejunostomy. Vagotomy is optional in view of better response with drugs for APD. Antral carcinoma cases require curative or palliative surgery depending on the stage of the disease.
A case series of laproscopic management of hydatid cyst of liver
Authors: Pothare Amit N. , Ilamkar Karuna N. 
Published: December 2016

Background:Hydatid cyst is zoonosis caused due to Echinococcus species mainly, Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis. It was first described by Hippocrates as “liver full of water”. In developing countries like India, Iran, China and Mediterranean countries it is still remains a major problem. It can involve any organ and can mimic almost any pathological condition.Methods: The present study was carried out from January 2014 to December 2015. Total 20 cases of liver hydatid operated laproscopically studied prospectively. Omentoplasty with external drainage was done as sole operative modality. Postoperative follow up was done on 2nd week, 1, 3 and 6 months. Results:Among the observed patients most common age group was 31-40 years (40%), with male predominance (60%). Abdominal pain was most presenting symptom (65%). Right lobe involved involved in 75% patients. Cysts are usually single (90%). Bleeding and contamination of peritoneal cavity with scolices was main intra-operative complication (5% each). Mean operative time was 99.95 minutes. In post-operative period biliary leak was major complication (10%). Cosmetic results were good with barely visible scar (90%).Conclusions:Surgery is the gold standard treatment for hydatid liver and laproscopic technique is gaining more and more importance with advantage of being minimal invasive and less complications with better patient satisfaction.
