Biological screening and assessment of certain substituted monoazo heterocycles containing sulphur and / or nitrogen and their seleno like moieties
Authors: Khalifa Mohamed E. , Gobouri Adel A. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The monoazo substituted five membered heterocycles, along with their seleno like moieties are still of interest in organic chemistry due to their medicinal and valuable applications. In continuation of our interest in the study of heterocyclic azo compounds containing sulphur and / or nitrogen heteroatoms, the synthesis of 5-aryl mono azo-thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl-thiophene along with their seleno like derivatives of pyridine, pyridazine and quinolone, were accomplished. All the synthesized compounds were in vitro screening of their antioxidant activity, antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cell EACC cell line and antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic microorganisms, such as Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium) and fungi strains of Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans. The structural–activity relationship was studied based on the obtained data.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Through this paper, we want to identify the correlations between the benefits and costs of adopting IFRS standards in construction entities in the Western Region of Romania and their performance, using the Pearson correlation coefficient, which measures and describes the direction, degree and form of the association between two variables, thus obtaining high, reasonable, weak and very weak links between the benefits / costs and the performance of the entity.
The tool used in the research undertaken by construction companies is the questionnaire.
The questionnaire “On the Costs and Benefits of IFRS in Construction Companies in the Western Region of Romania” was disseminated among professional accountants in order to identify the perceptions of economists operating in construction companies in the Western Region Romania on the costs and benefits of implementing international standards. Thus, through this paper we aim to identify the correlations between the following benefits and costs:

- Benefits of implementation: comparability of information, increased transparency, increased access to capital, cost savings, reduction of informational asymmetry,

- Implementation costs: IFRS readiness level, complexity of standards, link between accounting and taxation, existing accounting tradition, costs associated with IFRS conversion, and

- Performance of the entity viewed from the perspective of: total revenue and turnover. In the research, we chose to present the analysis of compared to both the total revenues and the turnover, because the difference between the two economic-fiscal indicators is mainly represented by the financial revenues and the incomes from the disposals of assets.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
The physical characteristics of self-sustain shock oscillation and the key factors that affect the shock oscillation in turbine-based combined-cycle(TBCC) inlet were investigated through unsteady numerical simulation method in this paper. The terminal shock oscillation in the throat was caused by the separation bubble appeared in the lower wall of the turbojet flowpath. The angle of the splitter and the offset of the diffuser were the main factors which affect the characteristics of the shock oscillation. When the angle of the splitter increased from 0 deg to 12 deg, the frequency of terminal shock increased from 100Hz to 133Hz; while when it was greater than 18 deg the terminal shock oscillation phenomenon disappeared. Different offset of the turbojet diffuser affect the motion of terminal shock in the inlet. When the y-coordinate value of the control point (ym) in the turbojet diffuser was smaller than 1.5, the shock oscillated in the inlet; when ym was greater than 2.0, the shock oscillation disappeared. The bleed in the diffuser was able to control the oscillation of the terminal shock.

Published: December 2017

AbstractTranslational studies comparing imaging data of animals and humans have gained increasing scientific interests. With this upcoming translational approach, however, identifying harmonized statistical analysis as well as shared data acquisition protocols and/or combined statistical approaches is necessary. Following this idea, we applied Bayesian Adaptive Regression Splines (BARS), which have until now mainly been used to model neural responses of electrophysiological recordings from rodent data, on human hemodynamic responses as measured via fMRI. Forty-seven healthy subjects were investigated while performing the Attention Network Task in the MRI scanner. Fluctuations in the amplitude and timing of the BOLD response were determined and validated externally with brain activation using GLM and also ecologically with the influence of task performance (i.e. good vs. bad performers). In terms of brain activation, bad performers presented reduced activation bilaterally in the parietal lobules, right prefrontal cortex (PFC) and striatum. This was accompanied by an enhanced left PFC recruitment. With regard to the amplitude of the BOLD-signal, bad performers showed enhanced values in the left PFC. In addition, in the regions of reduced activation such as the parietal and striatal regions, the temporal dynamics were higher in bad performers. Based on the relation between BOLD response and neural firing with the amplitude of the BOLD signal reflecting gamma power and timing dynamics beta power, we argue that in bad performers, an enhanced left PFC recruitment hints towards an enhanced functioning of gamma-band activity in a compensatory manner. This was accompanied by reduced parieto-striatal activity, associated with increased and potentially conflicting beta-band activity.

Abstract
Delisle-Houde, P, Reid, RER, Insogna, JA, Chiarlitti, NA, and Andersen, RE. Seasonal changes in physiological responses and body composition during a competitive season in male and female elite collegiate ice hockey players. J Strength Cond Res 33(8): 2162–2169, 2019—Ice hockey continually overloads athletes with limited time for recovery, which may affect several physiological responses and alter body composition. The purpose of this study was to identify changes in physiological parameters and body composition profiles over the competitive season in elite collegiate ice hockey players. Forty-four players, 24 males (age = 22.7 ± 1.3 years, height = 1.82 ± 0.6 m, and body mass = 86.87 ± 6.44 kg) and 20 females (age = 19.9 ± 1.8 years, height = 1.66 ± 0.7 m, and body mass = 68.76 ± 5.91 kg) participated in 4-minute submaximal exercise tests and body composition assessments at pre-season, mid-season, and end-season. Changes in physiological parameters and body composition were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of covariance controlling for age. Males' postexercise blood lactate concentration decreased (p ≤ 0.05) from pre- to mid-season (9.3 vs. 6.2 mmol·L−1) and increased (p ≤ 0.05) from mid- to end-season (6.2 vs. 8.0 mmol·L−1). Heart rate increased (p ≤ 0.05) after the third and fourth minute of the submaximal test in both sexes from pre- to end-season and from mid- to end-season. Males' body fat percentage decreased (p ≤ 0.05) from mid-season (17.4 vs. 16.1%), whereas increases were observed (p ≤ 0.05) in both sexes from mid- to end-season. This study produced evidence that male and female collegiate hockey athletes' physiological responses and body composition profiles change over the season. Sport scientists working with collegiate hockey teams, may need to revise annual training programs to attenuate reductions in fitness and hopefully prevent injuries.

Romancing the Interstitial
Authors: Liming Sheila 
Published: December 2017

Sheila Liming, “Romancing the Interstitial: Howe, Balzac, and Nineteenth-Century Legacies of Sexual Indeterminacy” (pp. 311–337)
This essay links Julia Ward Howe’s infamous “lost” text, The Hermphrodite (first published in 2004), with Honoré de Balzac’s Sarrasine (1830), arguing that Howe rewrites Balzac’s figure of the “tragic hermaphrodite” with the intention of protesting nineteenth-century American assumptions regarding innate sexual difference. The Hermaphrodite tells the story of Laurence, a deeply contemplative, intelligent person whose sexual identity is disputed, but Howe never employs the term “hermaphrodite” outright. This situation encourages readers to judge Laurence’s hermaphroditism by his behavior and actions in the novel, not his biology, and this is furthermore consistent with the way the term “hermaphrodite” was used and understood by mid-nineteenth-century Americans. As such, this essay examines the claims that Howe makes about the social machinery of gender in The Hermaphrodite, arguing that while Laurence has much in common with Balzac’s Sarrasine, Howe uses her protagonist as a means of revising outdated arguments about biological “truth.” Howe’s Laurence revisits and updates nineteenth-century considerations of the aesthetic androgyne in the service of a modern, political agenda concerning sexual demarcation and difference.
All That Is Solid Turns into Steam
Authors: Spillman Deborah Shapple 
Published: December 2017

Deborah Shapple Spillman, “All That Is Solid Turns into Steam: Sublimation and Sympathy in George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss” (pp. 338–373)
This essay argues that steam and its gaseous properties in George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss (1861) represent capital’s increasing abstraction in the nineteenth century that threatened to disrupt economic and affective relations between people, property, and places associated with the past while nevertheless introducing new modes of circulation and more diffusive opportunities for sympathetic connection. The novel’s return to an earlier stage in the development of capital places the 1830s of the story in dialogue with the 1860s of its narration, while inviting readers to compare the values of this earlier period to those of their own. Considering this comparative structure in relation to nineteenth-century ethnography and its interlocutors—including Auguste Comte, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Karl Marx—I read Edward Tulliver’s primitive materialism and the Dodson sisters’ fetishism as both humorous reactions and more earnest forms of resistance to this increasing abstraction. Eliot ultimately turns toward the figurative possibilities of sublimation as a way to bridge the concrete and the abstract, the particular and the general, will and affect, self and other. Sublimation—not liquidation—therefore serves as the more apt metaphor for sympathy in the novel.
El corso gallego en la Guerra del Asiento (1739-1748): escenarios, actores y presas

Published: December 2017

Durante la Guerra de la Oreja de Jenkins en Galicia se armaron en torno a 60 corsarios, por lo general de menos de 50 toneladas, que capturaron más de 170 presas casi todas a vista de la costa de Portugal. Las bases corsarias se ubicaron en el sur de Galicia, sobresaliendo Vigo, principal centro del comercio de cabotaje que vinculada esa zona con la costa norte portuguesa. Fueron capitanes de la modesta flota dedicada a dicho tráfico y comerciantes con inversiones en dicho sector, quienes, junto a algunos franceses, protagonizaron el corso gallego durante dicho período.
Fabrication and Magnetic Properties of Sintered SrFe\(_{12}\)O\(_{19}\)-NiFe\(_{2}\)O\(_{4}\) Nanocomposites
Authors: Nga Tran Thi Viet , Loan To Thanh 
Published: December 2017

Two series of SrFe\(_{12}\)O\(_{19}\)/NiFe\(_{2}\)O\(_{4}\) nanocomposite ferrites	sintered in air at 850\rc{}C and 950\rc{}C were prepared using	SrFe$_{12}$O$_{19}$ and NiFe\(_{2}\)O\(_{4}\) nanopowders obtained via sol-gel	method. The phase composition, surface morphology and magnetic properties of	the composites were investigated using XRD, SEM and VSM respectively. For	the SrFe$_{12}$O$_{19}$/NiFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ ferrites with volume ratio ranging	from 61 to 21 and sintered in 850\(\r{}\)C for 5 hours in air, all the	specimens are composed of two phases but exhibit a typical single-phase	magnetic behavior, indicating the existence of exchange coupling (EC)	between the magnetically hard and soft phases. The value of coercivity	H\(_{c}\) decreases from 6.19 kOe to 0.574 kOe when volume of	SrFe$_{12}$O$_{19}$ decreases from 6 to 1. While the samples with a mass	ratio of \(R_{m}\)= SrFe\(_{12}\)O\(_{19}\)/ NiFe\(_{2}\)O\(_{4}\) varying from 31 to	13 sintered in 950\rc{}C for 5 hours characterized with a ``bee waist''	type hysteresis loop. These results reveal that the magnetically hard and	soft magnetic phases are not exchange- coupled. The saturation magnetization	(\(M_{S}\)) increases from 36 emu/g to 43.3 emu/g when \(R_{m}\) decreases from 31	to 13 and then decreases with \(R_{m}= 12\) and 13.

Published: December 2017

Durante o curso de odontologia, a bioquímica é considerada de menor prioridade pela maioria dos estudantes, pois supõem que ela terá um papel pequeno nas suas práticas dentárias posteriormente. Instilar o devido valor de aprender bioquímica entre os alunos e fazê-los participar de aulas de bioquímica é uma tarefa desafiadora entre os professores. Esta pesquisa foi conduzida para observar se o interesse dos estudantes em aprender bioquímica pode ser aprimorado se novas tecnologias, como vídeos animados, forem usadas. O método tradicional de ensino com retroprojetor, também foi realizado para fins de comparação dos resultados. O ciclo de ureia foi selecionado como o tópico bioquímico para esta pesquisa. O resultado foi bastante encorajador entre os estudantes, pois eles verificaram que a bioquímica tornara-se uma disciplina mais interessante do que antes.
Культурное пространство: аксиологический аспект
Authors: Касаткин Петр Игоревич 
Published: December 2017

<p>В статье рассматривается концепт «культурное пространство», дается его авторская трактовка и понимание. В современных культурологических исследованиях данный концепт имеет противоречивое и не вполне четкое определение, что заставляет концептуализировать и уточнить его.</p><p>Под культурным пространством понимается пространство ценностей, продуцирующих содержание духовной и материальной культуры общества. Мировое культурное пространство есть пространство гетерогенное, состоящее из множества национальных культур, основанных на своих ценностях. Таким образом, в качестве культурного индикатора предлагается рассматривать именно ценности, а сами ценности понимать как базис культуры.</p><p>Ценности действуют в качестве структурирующего механизма в различных культурных пространствах и одновременно определяют границы этих пространств. Автор отмечает необходимость рассматривать аксиологическую проблематику в рамках общефилософской проблемы целого. В этой связи кумулятивистский подход в анализе аксиологического измерения социальной жизни дополняет существующие исследования о роли ценностей в структурировании социального. </p><p>Автор делает вывод о том, что культура выступает в бытии в двух основных ипостасях: с одной стороны, она есть механизм (код), структурирующий общество, задающий ему направление движения и развития, с другой — совокупность духовно-материального творчества общества. Кроме этого, культура как феномен находит свое социальное воплощение в качестве культурного пространства, гетерогенного по своей сути. </p>
Эпизод с привратником в «Макбете» в свете «Ада» Данте и средневековых мистерий
Authors: Микеладзе Наталья Эдуардовна 
Published: December 2017

<p>В статье анализируется эпизод со стуком в ворота и «адским» привратником в трагедии Шекспира «Макбет» (II, 2–3) в нескольких взаимно дополнительных ракурсах. Первый исследуемый смысловой план задан контекстом песни 33 «Ада» Данте (эпизод с братом Альбериго, свидетельствующим о прижизненном разъединении души и тела предателя) и позволяет говорить об утрате души Макбетом сразу после убийства Дункана. Второй план эпизода отсылает шекспировского зрителя к персонажам и ситуациям популярных средневековых мистерий о заговоре против Христа (Иуда Искариот, Привратник, Пилат и его жена). Наконец, третий план данного эпизода намечает тему Второго пришествия и установления Царства Божия, т. е. в нем проглядывает сюжет грядущего финала «Макбета».</p><p>Шекспировский зритель должен был узнать в качестве прообраза для героев и ситуаций трагедии сумму знакомых по Библии, мираклям и мистериям сюжетов и перенести их моральный смысл на историю шотландского узурпатора Макбета. В первую очередь он напоминает о Люцифере и Иуде и показывает падение души предателя в преисподнюю. В статье также доказывается отсутствие в рассматриваемом эпизоде следов сюжета средневековых народных пьес о сошествии Христа в Ад (Harrowing of Hell), которые традиционно отмечаются учеными последних двух веков.</p>
Дизайнерское профессиональное сообщество: особенности конструирования
Authors: Манторова Анна Владимировна 
Published: December 2017

<p>В статье рассматривается специфика образования и функционирования профессионального сообщества дизайнеров. Сравнительно молодая профессия дизайнера развивается, растет ее значимость в современном социокультурном пространстве. Но в настоящее время российский дизайн имеет крайне нестабильное положение и до сих пор находится в поиске собственной национальной модели. Возникший в 1920-е годы в противовес традиционному станковому искусству, он возродился в функционализме 1960-х, но к концу XX в. постепенно растворился в западных заимствованиях. Однако это не помешало дизайну выделиться в отдельную профессию. В статье представлены результаты исследования профессионального сообщества дизайнеров с точки зрения социального конструирования.</p><p>Процесс конструирования в данном случае отличается тем, что он основан на контактах поверхностного характера: человек не имеет возможности знать абсолютно всех представителей данного профессионального сообщества. Это, в свою очередь, позволяет рассматривать его, во-первых, как воображаемое сообщество, во-вторых, охарактеризовать действительную форму данной социальной общности, в чем и заключается научная новизна исследования. Воображаемое сообщество, по Андерсону, имеет ряд специфических признаков, которые были обнаружены в дизайнерской среде. В их число входит ментальный образ сходства, язык, пространственно-временные координаты и формирование сообщества вокруг высшего центра. Интерес также представляет выявление данного организующего центра, определяющего основную стратегию развития профессии дизайнера в России. Автором проводится контекстуальный анализ интернет-ресурсов (тематических форумов и групп в социальных сетях, публикации Вячеслава Глазычева и Артемия Лебедева) с целью определения организующей формы профессионального сообщества и специфики ее функционирования. </p>
