Sustainability of Zimbabwe’s Parliamentary Constituency Information Centres
Authors: Munyoro Isaiah , Onyacha Omwoyo Bosire 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThis paper assessed the sustainability of Zimbabwe’s Parliamentary Constituency Information Centres (PCICs) as one of many parliamentary constituency projects through examining support from development partners and central government. With the advent of constituency development funds (CDFs) it was expected that PCICs would become increasingly important as centres for disseminating parliamentary information, as an interface between parliament and constituents as well as a communication and coordination hub for constituency activities. These aspects have the effect of improving the Member of Parliament’s (MP) work within the constituency, consequently having a positive impact on the constituency as well as improving MPs’ contribution in parliament. The study was based on theoretical assumptions of interpretive paradigm leading to the belief that respondents are subjected to the external world, with a mixed method approach (Ngulube 2010, “Mapping Mixed Methods Research in Library and Information Science Journals in Sub-Saharan Africa.”
Interface transition layer interaction mechanism for ZTAP/HCCI composites
Authors: Zhou MoJin , Jiang YeHua , Chong XiaoYu 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
ZrO2-toughened Al2O3 (ZTA, 40%) ceramic particles reinforced by high chromium cast iron (HCCI) matrix composites were fabricated by casting infiltration. The interaction between the ZTA ceramic particles and the matrix by the interface transition layer (ITL) was investigated. From the perspective of interfacial bonding, the ceramic particles and HCCI experienced metallurgical bonding by the ITL. Electron probe microanalysis results demonstrated that Cr, Fe, and Mn diffused from the matrix to the ITL. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the main phases in the transition layer were glassy. The wear resistance of the composites with the transition layer was better than those without, as indicated by the three-body abrasive wear tester.
Legal Regulation of Entrepreneur’s Conduct in Slovakia
Authors: Holub Dušan , Magurová Hana 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The article provides characteristics of legal regulation of the conduct of entrepreneurs, including the analysis of a new element of the Slovak law – so-called “disqualification”. It consists in a prohibition (by a court order) to perform functions of a member of the statutory or supervisory body in a company or co-operative, as well as in a prohibition to act as a director of the organisational unit of an enterprise, as a director of an enterprise of a foreign party, or as a procurator. Entrepreneurs are entitled to act on their own name. We distinguish direct and indirect (mediated) acts of entrepreneurs. When acting directly, the entrepreneur acts personally (for individuals) or through the statutory body (for legal entities). Indirect (mediated) acts of entrepreneurs consist in manifestation of the will through a third person, who acts on behalf of the entrepreneur (so-called statutory representation).
The Higher Essence of Economic Convergence Regarding Monetary Impacts
Authors: Hudec Martin 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The increasing pace of achieving socio-economic growth and convergence into developed structures represents the main desire of most countries. Moreover, membership in monetary unions has quite a significant impact on the economies of participating countries, since integration processes have become undoubtedly the undisputed accelerator of convergence and integration catalyst, reflecting on the development of the world economy. The growing intensity of world trade, the ever-deepening division of labor and specialization, international movement of capital and labor mobility as wells as investments into education, research and development, innovations are among the factors that lead to the creation of increasingly closer ties between economies, deepening their mutual dependence, further reflected in knowledge-based societies. Thus, the close ties between national economies themselves represent a further incentive for more intensive cooperation through the different stages of economic integration. International economic integration is an objective to promote a gradual process of linking and connecting existing economic units, i.e. national economies to the greater interconnected units in the global economy. The aim of our research paper, by using the methods of analysis and comparison, is to closely present the issue of monetary integration, focusing on the impact of monetary integration on countries’ economy, resulting in the issue of benefits and costs of the countries’ entry into the monetary union, associated with initial economic shocks.
Applicability of biotechnologically produced insect silks
Authors: Herold Heike M. , Scheibel Thomas 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Silks are structural proteins produced by arthropods. Besides the well-known cocoon silk, which is produced by larvae of the silk moth Bombyx mori to undergo metamorphosis inside their silken shelter (and which is also used for textile production by men since millennia), numerous further less known silk-producing animals exist. The ability to produce silk evolved multiple independent times during evolution, and the fact that silk was subject to convergent evolution gave rise to an abundant natural diversity of silk proteins. Silks are used in air, under water, or like honey bee silk in the hydrophobic, waxen environment of the bee hive. The good mechanical properties of insect silk fibres together with their non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable nature renders these materials appealing for both technical and biomedical applications. Although nature provides a great diversity of material properties, the variation in quality inherent in materials from natural sources together with low availability (except from silkworm silk) impeded the development of applications of silks. To overcome these two drawbacks, in recent years, recombinant silks gained more and more interest, as the biotechnological production of silk proteins allows for a scalable production at constant quality. This review summarises recent developments in recombinant silk production as well as technical procedures to process recombinant silk proteins into fibres, films, and hydrogels.

La exigibilidad de los derechos sociales a partir de su estructura
Authors: Rodríguez Camarena Carlos Salvador 
Published: July 2017

Este documento explora brevemente el fundamento y concepción de los derechos sociales y la manera en que están estructurados, ya que, a pesar de que la gran mayoría de las constituciones del mundo incluyen estos derechos, del esfuerzo de los tribunales por hacerlos cumplir y de la gran cantidad de estudios sobre ellos, estamos aún lejos de hacerlos plenamente efectivos. De ahí que el entendimiento de la manera en que estos derechos son concebidos y la determinación de su estructura, sean clave para mejorar su justiciabilidad.
Disyuntiva de las disposiciones de reclusión en la reforma al artículo 18 constitucional
Authors: Enriquez Rubio Hernández Herlinda , Hernández Cuevas Maximiliano 
Published: July 2017

En el siguiente artículo se presenta una disertación en torno a las disposicionesestablecidas en el artículo 18 constitucional, específicamente las que hacen mención de la existencia de centros de reclusión especiales destinados a personas ubicadas dentro de la delincuencia organizada y aquellos internos que requieren de medidas especiales de seguridad.La discusión se realiza desde dos puntos de vista: uno práctico-moral y otro desde la Sociología del derecho. En el primero, se analiza la influencia del desarrollo moral en las producciones legislativas, y en el segundo, la coherencia sistemático-jurídica de las normas referidas, así como los efectos de su aplicación. Haciendo especial énfasis en la paradoja creada por el estadomexicano: haber legislado la aplicación de medidas restrictivas que lastiman severamente a cierto tipo de prisioneros, y que estas normas sean parte de una gran reforma a nuestro sistema penal que, además, en el año 2011, se han revestido de respetuosas de los derechos humanos.

Las sentencias judiciales como actos correctores del sistema democrático
Authors: Maraniello Patricio 
Published: July 2017

Muchas veces se ha dicho que los jueces no representan al pueblo y por lo tanto sus decisiones son contramayoritarias o anti-democráticas. Encuentran como fundamento en el hecho de que no son elegidos democráticamente, sino por un procedimiento técnico constitucional complejo, y en consecuencia podría pensar que sus sentencias no son democráticas. Como atenuante podría considerarse el hecho de que si bien el pueblo no interviene en las decisiones judiciales, en el proceso de designación de un magistrado participan sus representantes, comolo ha sostenido la Corte de Justicia Argentina en el caso “Rizzo”, por el cual fijo la pauta donde los jueces son elegidos en forma indirecta por el pueblo. En la doctrina norteamericana existen tres propuestas centrales para resolver la dificultad mayoritaria, y una sola para disolverla.En la primera se encuentra la llamada fundacionalista de derecho por Roland Dworkin; en la segunda propuesta, desarrollada por John Hart Ely, la intitulada “interpretativistas”; la tercera y última es la que Stephen Holmes llamó la elección social, que se basa en la “estrategia del precompromiso”. En cambio, existe una sola postura para disolverla que es la de Bruce Ackerman, basada en una teoría democrática dualista distinguiendo entre “política normal” y “política constitucional”. Finalmente, hemos desarrollado nuestra posición que se acerca a la última postura, en el cual no resulta necesario ningún justificativo ni en la legitimidad democrática de los jueces ni en sus decisiones, pues en realidad los jueces tienen como función democrática su perfeccionamiento al incluir a las minorías insulares.

Genome-Wide Screen for Genes Involved inCaenorhabditis elegansDevelopmentally Timed Sleep

Published: July 2017

AbstractIn Caenorhabditis elegans, Notch signaling regulates developmentally timed sleep during the transition from L4 larval stage to adulthood (L4/A) . To identify core sleep pathways and to find genes acting downstream of Notch signaling, we undertook the first genome-wide, classical genetic screen focused on C. elegans developmentally timed sleep. To increase screen efficiency, we first looked for mutations that suppressed inappropriate anachronistic sleep in adult hsp::osm-11 animals overexpressing the Notch coligand OSM-11 after heat shock. We retained suppressor lines that also had defects in L4/A developmentally timed sleep, without heat shock overexpression of the Notch coligand. Sixteen suppressor lines with defects in developmentally timed sleep were identified. One line carried a new allele of goa-1; loss of GOA-1 Gαo decreased C. elegans sleep. Another line carried a new allele of gpb-2, encoding a Gβ5 protein; Gβ5 proteins have not been previously implicated in sleep. In other scenarios, Gβ5 GPB-2 acts with regulators of G protein signaling (RGS proteins) EAT-16 and EGL-10 to terminate either EGL-30 Gαq signaling or GOA-1 Gαo signaling, respectively. We found that loss of Gβ5 GPB-2 or RGS EAT-16 decreased L4/A sleep. By contrast, EGL-10 loss had no impact. Instead, loss of RGS-1 and RGS-2 increased sleep. Combined, our results suggest that, in the context of L4/A sleep, GPB-2 predominantly acts with EAT-16 RGS to inhibit EGL-30 Gαq signaling. These results confirm the importance of G protein signaling in sleep and demonstrate that these core sleep pathways function genetically downstream of the Notch signaling events promoting sleep.

Published: July 2017

SummaryObjective: To evaluate two different protocols of cold compression therapy (CCT) for pain management and functional recovery in dogs undergoing tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO). Material and methods: A total of 27 adult dogs (n = 30 stifles; staged bilateral procedures: n = 3) undergoing routine TPLO were randomly allocated to three groups (n = 10/group). Dogs of group I received CCT once before and immediately after surgery. In dogs of group II CCT was performed postoperatively four times at 6-hour intervals. Dogs of the control group did not receive CCT. Circumference of the stifle joint and the following pain-related parameters were measured by a single blinded observer before surgery and 1, 10 and 42 days after surgery: stifle joint range of motion (ROM), subjective degree of lameness, and score of a modified Glasgow Pain Scale (GPS). Results: Both CCT groups showed significantly greater ROM and lower GPS scores 24 hours after surgery compared to the control group. Ten days after surgery there was a significantly lower degree of lameness in both CCT groups compared to the control group. Fourty-two days after surgery a significantly greater ROM was observed in both CCT groups compared to the control group. Group II also showed a significant improvement in the degree of lameness and GPS. There were no significant differences in any of the parameters between the two CCT groups at any time point. Conclusion: CCT applied preoperatively and immediately postoperatively showed similar short- and long-term beneficial results compared to a previously established protocol of applying CCT four times postoperatively. This protocol may be more suitable for practical use. Clinical significance: The reported data can be used to establish the new protocol of CCT in a clinical surrounding and to support postoperative rehabilitation of the canine patient.

simulation study on the effect of climate change on crop water use and chill unit accumulation
Authors: Ogundeji Abiodun A. , Jordaan Henry 
Published: July 2017

Climate change and its impact on already scarce water resources are of global importance, but even more so for water scarce countries. Apart from the effect of climate change on water supply, the chill unit requirement of deciduous fruit crops is also expected to be affected. Although research on crop water use has been undertaken, researchers have not taken the future climate into consideration. They also have focused on increasing temperatures but failed to relate temperature to chill unit accumulation, especially in South Africa. With a view of helping farmers to adapt to climate change, in this study we provide information that will assist farmers in their decision-making process for adaptation and in the selection of appropriate cultivars of deciduous fruits. Crop water use and chill unit requirements are modelled for the present and future climate. Results show that, irrespective of the irrigation system employed, climate change has led to increases in crop water use. Water use with the drip irrigation system was lower than with sprinkler irrigation as a result of efficiency differences in the irrigation technologies. It was also confirmed that the accumulated chill units will decrease in the future as a consequence of climate change. In order to remain in production, farmers need to adapt to climate change stress by putting in place water resources and crop management plans. Thus, producers must be furnished with a variety of adaptation or management strategies to overcome the impact of climate change.

Significance:

Producers must closely monitor the usage of efficient irrigation technology.
Climate adaptation needs to be anticipated years in advance and will require a transition to different crop species or cultivars or the development of management practices.
The results of this study will guide producers in the selection of cultivars when re-establishing their orchards.
