AbstractA high-yield protocol is explored for the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines through the multi-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, 1,3-Dimethylbarbituric acid, and malononitrile using nano-basic silica as an efficient catalyst. The method tolerates various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring. Nano-basic silica was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) N
Book reviews 2016
Authors: Hilling Axel 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
This section contains reviews of two Swedish books on international taxation. First, the book Skatteavtal och generalklausuler, Ett komparativt perspektiv (Tax Agreements and General Anti-Avoidance Regulations, A Comparative Perspective) is recommended for those who study and work with international tax law. The book analyses how tax treaties’ function to limit contracting states’ taxing powers relates to national GAARs. A comparative analysis is made between Sweden and Canada. In the second review, the doctoral dissertation EU-domstolens restirktionsprövning i mal om de grundläggande frihterna och direkta skatter (The EU Court of Justice’s examination of the restriction requirement in its direct tax case law) is reviewed. The dissertation systemizes relevant CJEU’s case law and analyzes the Courts reasoning in deciding whether or not certain tax regulation is in conflict with EU fundamental freedoms.

Authors: Endrikat Kirsten , Ennenbach Matthias 
Published: December 2016

Zusammenfassung
In diesem Artikel wird eine Pilotstudie vorgestellt, die die Effekte einer achtsamkeitsbasierten Therapieform untersucht. Dabei handelt es sich um eine psychotherapeutische Lehr- und Behandlungsmethode, die Elemente aus aktuellen neurowissenschaftlichen, psychosomatischen, verhaltenstherapeutischen und tiefenpsychologischen Ansätzen mit nicht-religiösen, östlichen Traditionen verbindet. Die Buddhistische Psychotherapie (BPT) ist ein integratives Heilverfahren, womit in der vorliegenden Studie die Interventionsgruppe behandelt wird. In der Vergleichsgruppe werden klassische verhaltenstherapeutische Methoden eingesetzt. Für die vorliegende Studie wurden über einen Zeitraum von 2,5 Jahren insgesamt 190 Versuchspersonen während eines stationären Klinikaufenthalts mit dem Testverfahren SCL-90-R zweifach untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Studie belegen für die BPT-Interventionsgruppe in allen 9 Symptombereichen des Fragebogens bedeutsame und signifikant höhere Mittelwertunterschiede beim Prä-Post-Test. Darüber hinaus zeigen Regressionsanalysen unter der Berücksichtigung von Drittvariablen signifikante Effekte für die BPT-Behandlungsmethode.

Published: December 2016

Abstract

Background and objective
We aimed to investigate the effect of “training about the pre-analytical phase” and “technological arrangements in laboratory information systems (LISs) and tube barcoding system”, on decreasing PEs.

Materials and methods
PEs in 2013 and 2014 were obtained from the LIS retrospectively in order to evaluate the effect of improvements. Ten quality indicators (QIs) described for pre-analytical phase were calculated. We compared QIs of the “improved year” with the past year. Four quality specification criteria were defined as “unacceptable”, “minimum”, “desirable” and “optimum” for each quality indicator.

Results
There was a reduction in all types of PEs related to the improvement strategies. When QIs were considered as quality specifications (QSs), QI-14 (number of samples damaged in transport) and QI-16 (samples improperly stored) were “unacceptable”, QI-8 (samples lost-not received) and QI-12 (samples with insufficient sample volume) were “minimum” and QI-9 (samples collected in inappropriate container) was “desirable” in 2013; QI-10a, 10b (samples hemolyzed), 11a (samples clotted) and 13 (samples with inadequate sample-anticoagulant) were all “optimum” in 2 years.

Conclusion
It was shown that continuous education on pre-analytical phase and improvements of the technological infrastructures are the main factors that will enable the control of this phase.
Near-Field Heat Transfer between Multilayer Hyperbolic Metamaterials
Authors: Biehs Svend-Age , Ben-Abdallah Philippe 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
We review the near-field radiative heat flux between hyperbolic materials focusing on multilayer hyperbolic meta-materials. We discuss the formation of the hyperbolic bands, the impact of ordering of the multilayer slabs, as well as the impact of the first single layer on the heat transfer. Furthermore, we compare the contribution of surface modes to that of hyperbolic modes. Finally, we also compare the exact results with predictions from effective medium theory.
Reconstruction of f(T) Gravity with Interacting Variable-Generalised Chaplygin Gas and the Thermodynamics with Corrected Entropies
Authors: Chattopadhyay Surajit 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
This article reports a study on variable-generalised Chaplygin gas (VGCG) interacting with pressureless dark matter (DM) with interaction term Q chosen in the form Q=3Hδρ
Λ, where ρ
Λ denotes the density of the VGCG. Detailed cosmology of the interacting VGCG has been studied and a quintom behaviour of the equation of state (EoS) parameter has been observed. A statefinder analysis has shown attainment of ΛCDM fixed point by the interacting VGCG. Subsequently, a reconstruction scheme for f(T) gravity has been presented based on the interacting VGCG with power-law form of scale factor. The EoS parameter corresponding to the reconstructed f(T) has shown quintom behaviour. Finally, we have studied the generalised second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in reconstructed f(T) cosmology considering the universe as a closed bounded system with future event horizon as the cosmological boundary. We have associated two different entropies with the cosmological horizons with a logarithmic correction term and a power-law correction term. We have studied the validity of the GSL for both of these corrections.

Abstract
Cooke, MB, Nix, C, Greenwood, L, and Greenwood, M. No Differences Between Alter G-Trainer and Active and Passive Recovery Strategies on Isokinetic Strength, Systemic Oxidative Stress and Perceived Muscle Soreness After Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage. J Strength Cond Res 32(3): 736–747, 2018—The incidence of muscle injuries is prevalent in elite sport athletes and weekend warriors and strategies that safely and effectively hasten recovery are highly desirable. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between 3 recovery methods after eliciting muscle damage in recreationally active men relative to maximal isokinetic contractions, perceived muscle soreness, and psychological mood states. Twenty-five recreationally active men (22.15 ± 3.53 years, 75.75 ± 11.91 kg, 180.52 ± 7.3 cm) were randomly matched by V̇o
2 peak (53.86 ± 6.65 ml·kg−1·min−1) and assigned to one of 3 recovery methods: anti-gravity treadmill (G-Trainer) (N = 8), conventional treadmill (N = 8) or static stretching (N = 9). Recovery methods were performed 30 minutes, 24, 48, and 72 hours after a 45-minute downhill run. Following eccentrically biased running, no significant differences were noted in isokinetic knee flexion and extension peak torque, systemic markers of muscle damage, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation such as serum creatine kinase (CK), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA), respectively, and subjective ratings of perceived muscle soreness between recovery methods. The G-Trainer group did however display a higher mood state as indicated by the Profile of Mood State global scores at 24 hours postexercise when compared to the conventional treadmill recovery group (p = 0.035). The improved mood state after the use of the anti-gravity treadmill may provide clinical relevance to other populations.
Cdk5 Regulation of the GRAB-Mediated Rab8-Rab11 Cascade in Axon Outgrowth

Published: December 2016

Neurons communicate with each other through their axons and dendrites. However, a full characterization of the molecular mechanisms involved in axon and dendrite formation is still incomplete. Neurite outgrowth requires the supply of membrane components for surface expansion. Two membrane sources for axon outgrowth are suggested: Golgi secretary vesicles and endocytic recycling endosomes. In non-neuronal cells, trafficking of secretary vesicles from Golgi is regulated by Rab8, a member of Rab small GTPases, and that of recycling endosomes is by Rab11, another member of Rabs. However, whether these vesicles are coordinately or independently transported in growing axons is unknown. Herein, we find that GRAB, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rab8, is a novel regulator of axon outgrowth. Knockdown of GRAB suppressed axon outgrowth of cultured mouse brain cortical neurons. GRAB mediates the interaction between Rab11A and Rab8A, and this activity is regulated by phosphorylation at Ser169 and Ser180 by Cdk5-p35. The nonphosphorylatable GRAB mutant S169/180A promoted axonal outgrowth to a greater extent than did the phosphomimetic GRAB mutant S169/180D. Phosphorylation of GRAB suppressed its guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity and its ability to recruit Rab8A- to Rab11A-positive endosomes.In vivofunction of GRAB and its Cdk5-phophorylation were shown in migration and process formation of developing neurons in embryonic mouse brains. These results indicate that GRAB regulates axonal outgrowth via activation and recruitment of Rab8A- to Rab11A-positive endosomes in a Cdk5-dependent manner.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTWhile axon outgrowth requires membrane supply for surface expansion, the molecular mechanisms regulating the membrane transport in growing axons remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that GRAB, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rab8, is a novel regulator of axon outgrowth. GRAB promotes the axonal membrane transport by mediating the interaction between Rab11 and Rab8 in neurons. The activity of GRAB is regulated by phosphorylation with Cdk5. We describe anin vivorole for GRAB and its Cdk5 phosphorylation during neuronal migration and process formation in embryonic brains. Thus, the membrane supply for axonal outgrowth is regulated by Cdk5 through the Rab11-GRAB-Rab8 cascade.
Dinamika Aspek Hukum Zakat dan Wakaf di Indonesia
Authors: Bariyah N. Oneng Nurul 
Published: December 2016

The Dynamics of Legal Aspects of Zakat and Waqf in Indonesia. This study shows that the codification of the law of zakat in Indonesia occurs gradually. Codification of Zakat still focuses much on zakat management. Zakat management is undertaken by the National Zakat Board (BAZNAS) and the Amil Zakat Institute (LAZ). The developmental aspects of zakat consist of: amil zakat, muzaki, zakat object, sanctions, and charity as a tax deduction. Meanwhile, the legal codification of waqf in Indonesia experienced significant growth after the enactment of Law Number 41 Year 2004 on Wakaf including: the concept of endowments, wakif, waqf objects, elements of endowments, nazir, waqf institutions (BWI), monitoring, dispute resolution, and criminal sanctions for violations of the waqf objects.DOI: 10.15408/ajis.v16i2.4450
Cinema e Política: a representação do jornalismo e do marketing político no cinema brasileiro
Authors: Nogueira - UFG Lisandro 
Published: December 2016

O cinema brasileiro dos anos noventa busca diagnosticar as rápidas mudanças ocorridas no campo da comunicação nesse período. O filme Doces Poderes, de Lúcia Murat, mostra como o jornalismo brasileiro, quando submetido ao marketing político e à publicidade, perde seu papel de fonte primária de informação e abre espaço para a “notícia enquanto produto”. Ainda que o filme aparentemente vise lançar um olhar crítico sobre a situação do jornalismo dos anos noventa, a linguagem cinemática e a estrutura narrativa nele usadas solapam seu intento, revelando assim as fragilidades e limitações do cinema brasileiro de viés político.
Martín-Barbero, Canclini, Orozco. Os impasses de uma teoria da comunicação latino-americana
Authors: Marcondes Filho Ciro 
Published: December 2016

A pesquisa latino-americana de comunicação lembra uma ilha isolada, indiferente aos grandes debates filosófico-comunicacionais do século 20. Martín-Barbero ainda pensa segundo o modelo das totalidades e das hegemonias. Estudar a comunicação, para ele, é intervir, agir socialmente, e o processo comunicacional não está no ato de se assistir a TV, mas nas trocas que o receptor faz, lá fora, com sua comunidade. Néstor Canclini, trabalhando com arte e cultura popular, é mais realista, vê o consumo como feito da cumplicidade entre a sociedade civil e o Estado. Critica os que enaltecem os objetos da arte popular e se esquecem dos homens e de seus processos. Guillermo Orozco segue Martín-Barbero e critica as pesquisas que se ocupam do ato comunicacional específico. É alguém que busca a ressurreição dos agentes que vão esclarecer as pessoas como assistir “corretamente” à TV.

Published: December 2016

Background:
The distribution of drug resistance among clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae has limited the therapeutic options. The aim of this study was to report the prevalence of quinolone resistance genes among E. coli and K. pneumoniae clinical strains isolated from three educational hospitals of Tehran, Iran.

Materials and methods:
A total of 100 strains of E. coli from Labbafinejad and Taleghani Hospitals and 100 strains of K. pneumoniae from Mofid Children and Taleghani Hospitals were collected between January 2013 and May 2014. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done by disk diffusion method based on Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. Detection of qepA, aac(6′)-Ib-cr, acrA, and acrB genes was done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Results:
In this study, fosfomycin and imipenem against E. coli and fosfomycin and tigecycline against K. pneumoniae had the best effect in antimicrobial susceptibility tests. PCR assay using specific primers demonstrated that the prevalence of qepA, aac(6′)-Ib-cr, acrA, and acrB genes among the 100 E. coli isolates was 0 (0%), 87 (87%), 92 (92%), and 84 (84%), respectively. The prevalence of qepA, aac(6′)-Ib-cr, acrA, and acrB genes among the 100 K. pneumoniae isolates was 4 (4%), 85 (85%), 94 (94%), and 87 (87%), respectively.

Conclusion:
The distribution of qepA, aac(6′)-Ib-cr, acrA, and acrB resistance determinants in E. coli and K. pneumoniae is a great concern. Therefore, infection control and prevention of spread of drug-resistant bacteria need careful management of medication and identification of resistant isolates.

Published: December 2016

<div><p><em>Total quality management (TQM) is a set of opinions and ideas that widely called “management philosophy”. This management technique is able to assist the construction firms in improving continuously the organization's performance, in order to satisfy customers and survive in the market. The success of TQM implementation is tightly dependent on identifying and selecting the appropriate critical success factors (CSFs), quality tools, and performance measures (KPIs) within TQM framework. Doubtlessly, a set of suitable performance measures (indicators) has a significant role to verify and ensure that TQM implementation can successfully achieve its aims in the organization. Thus, the main purpose of this paper was to develop a suitable framework to assess the effects of TQM implementation on organization's performance in construction industry. For this aim, the study was conducted a comprehensive literature review to specify the existing key performance indicators (KPIs) from 26 TQM frameworks that formulated by scholars. In data analysis, the only 20 KPIs were found of 26 TQM studies. The extracted KPIs (20) classified based on four dimensions of balanced scorecard (BSC), and then arranged from highest to lowest frequency for each perspective of BSC. Finally, a total of ten KPIs were determined and presented within BSC system as an appropriate performance measures framework, which enables evaluating critical areas that very vital to the success of TQM implementation in construction firms at project and enterprise levels.</em></p></div>
