The façade and the picture plane
Authors: Ferguson Catherine 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
If, following Bois, the task of the painter is the development of a thought that is properly pictorial, then this article will explore the idea of commitment as a problem for discourse: any claim about a painting’s relation to its outsides being a function of what writing is capable of saying in the face of such a thought. Appropriating the biological model of autopoiesis (which sets out to analyse the genesis of a living form from its point of view rather than from the observer’s), the article analyses Uslé’s painting, La Garganta de Albers, Las Muelas de Gaudí, in order to demonstrate that its outsides are a production of its internal ‘organization’. This internal organization cannot be described (from the outside), and so the article suggests the idea that the painting functions through the metaphor of the façade. Ultimately, there is no real evidence for this because the relation between writing and painting is marked by discontinuity. However, although this is a problem for the writer (who might want to control what the painting means), this methodological problem is a sign of commitment insofar as the incomprehensibility encountered in front of the painting elicits a new kind of thinking inaugurated by the work’s specificity.
(Bad) faith in painting(?): Critically re-evaluating the significance of Yu Youhan’s political pop series
Authors: Gladston Paul 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This article seeks to critically re-evaluate a series of so-called ‘Political Pop’ paintings by the Shanghai-based painter Yu Youhan in relation to existentialist conceptions of good and bad faith as well as recent ethically related reassertions of oppositional criticality within the international art world. It will be argued that any description of Yu’s Political Pop paintings as having been produced definitively in either good or bad faith overlooks a persistent and indeterminate enmeshing of cultural production with locally dominant discourses and practices within the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as well those prevailing internationally that plays deconstructively across the boundary between conscious acceptance and rejection of freedom of choice and, by extension, the supposed limits of oppositional criticality.
Under erasure: Jenny Holzer’s War Paintings
Authors: Bird Jon 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This article examines Jenny Holzer’s painterly reworkings of redacted American military documents, comparing her practice with some of Nancy Spero’s extended visual narratives of torture and victimization. As two artists immersed in a feminist visual politics (and poetics) of representation where language is both a vehicle and a form of expression, they adopt contrasting strategies of transformation: for Spero via allegory and the mythic, for Holzer through an aesthetic of negation. I read their work partly through Jacques Rancière’s notion of the necessity for bringing traumatic events into visibility, and I argue that in their respective scripto-visual artworks and sensitivity to the materiality of language and its performative dimension, they ‘make the inhuman perceptible’. I also consider their practice as evidence of an ongoing project of foregrounding arts responsibility as witness to history and the historical subject, seeing in their respective modes of figuration and emphasis upon surface (presence/absence, colour, writing) a means of inscribing the body in the text.
Painting is believing
Authors: O’Kane Paul 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
With help from seventeenth-century religious philosopher Blaise Pascal, art history, artists On Kawara and Lee Ufan, this article sets out a contemporary scenario before digging progressively deeper into questions of ‘painting and commitment’. The article attempts to make a case that painting and painters inform or extend our understanding of commitment per se while clarifying our understanding of relationships – casual and otherwise – between art, belief and commitment. The article asserts the idea that the very process of painting begets belief, commitment and faith, and ultimately suggests that painting, by means of its special affinity with images, might be the basis of our particularization and organization of knowledge, as well as being considered ur religion.

Genetic traces of never born proteins
Authors: Piwowar Monika , Matczyńska Ewa , Malawski Maciej , Szapieniec Tomasz , Roterman-Konieczna Irena 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The presented results cover issues related to proteins that were “never born in nature”. The paper is focused on identifying genetic information stretches of protein sequences that were not identified to be existing in nature. The aim of the work was finding traces of “never born proteins” (NBP) everywhere in completely sequenced genomes including regions not expected as carrying the genetic information. The results of analyses relate to the search of the genetic material of species from different levels of the evolutionary tree from yeast through plant organisms up to the human genome. The analysis concerns searching the genome sequences. There are presented statistical details such as sequence frequencies, their length, percent identity and similarity of alignments, as well as E value of sequences found. Computations were performed on gLite-based grid environment. The results of the analyses showed that the NBP genetic record in the genomes of the studied organisms is absent at a significant level in terms of identity of contents and length of the sequences found. Most of the found sequences considered to be similar do not exceed 50% of the length of the NBP output sequences, which confirms that the genetic record of proteins is not accidental in terms of composition of gene sequences but also as regards the place of recording in genomes of living organisms.
Functionalization of polyethetherketone for application in dentistry and orthopedics
Authors: Harting Rico , Barth Marius , Bührke Thomas , Pfefferle Regina Sophia , Petersen Svea 
Published: May 2017

AbstractSince late 1990s, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has presented a promising polymeric alternative to metal implant components, particularly in orthopedic and traumatic applications. However, PEEK is biologically inert, which has constrained its potential applications. In this manner, enhancing the bioactivity of PEEK is a huge challenge that must be comprehended to completely understand the potential advantages. Up to now, two noteworthy methodologies are discussed to enhance the bioactivity of PEEK, including bulk and surface modification. Although the latter is extremely challenging due to the very high physical and chemical stability of the high performance polymer, there are some stated modification reactions in the literature, which will be collocated with in the literature-reported PEEK composites in the present article. We will furthermore add information on polymer-based drug delivery systems and the biofunctionalization of polymers in general and discuss their applicability for PEEK, as we estimate that these strategies will gain greater attention in the future. At the end of the article, our own research on the development of a PEEK-associated biodegradable drug-delivery system with potential application in dentistry or orthopedics will be highlighted.
Sample types applied for molecular diagnosis of therapeutic management of advanced non-small cell lung cancer in the precision medicine
Authors: Han Yanxi , Li Jinming 
Published: May 2017

AbstractIn this era of precision medicine, molecular biology is becoming increasingly significant for the diagnosis and therapeutic management of non-small cell lung cancer. The specimen as the primary element of the whole testing flow is particularly important for maintaining the accuracy of gene alteration testing. Presently, the main sample types applied in routine diagnosis are tissue and cytology biopsies. Liquid biopsies are considered as the most promising alternatives when tissue and cytology samples are not available. Each sample type possesses its own strengths and weaknesses, pertaining to the disparity of sampling, preparation and preservation procedures, the heterogeneity of inter- or intratumors, the tumor cellularity (percentage and number of tumor cells) of specimens, etc., and none of them can individually be a “one size to fit all”. Therefore, in this review, we summarized the strengths and weaknesses of different sample types that are widely used in clinical practice, offered solutions to reduce the negative impact of the samples and proposed an optimized strategy for choice of samples during the entire diagnostic course. We hope to provide valuable information to laboratories for choosing optimal clinical specimens to achieve comprehensive functional genomic landscapes and formulate individually tailored treatment plans for NSCLC patients that are in advanced stages.

AbstractIn this paper we investigate some properties of quotient structured spaces. The notion of a structured space was originally considered by Mostow [In the beginning we present some basic notions and definitions from structured space theory. Then we discuss some properties of quotient structured spaces. In the third part we present a space-time as a quotient space. At the end of this paper we consider F-quasiregular equivalence relation and the structured space with malicious singularity.

Sameness between based universal algebras
Authors: Ricci Gabriele

AbstractThis is the continuation of the paper “Transformations between Menger systems”. To define when two universal algebras with bases “are the same”, here we propose a universal notion of transformation that comes from a triple characterization concerning three representation facets: the determinations of theHence, this notion consists of three equivalent definitions. It characterizes another technical variant and also the universal version of the very semi-linear transformationsUniversal transformations allow us to check theContrary to present beliefs, even the foundation of abstract Linear Algebra turns out to be incomplete.

Common fixed point and best approximation for Banach operator pairs in non-starshaped domain
Authors: Nashine Hemant Kumar 
Published: May 2017

AbstractCommon fixed point results for Banach operator pair with generalized nonexpansive mappings in non-starshaped domain of metric space have been obtained in the present work. As application, more general best approximation results in normed space have also been determined. These results extend and generalize various existing known results with the aid of Banach operator pair and without starshaped condition of domain.
Expectation in metric spaces and characterizations of Banach spaces
Authors: Bator Artur , Zięba Wiesław 
Published: May 2017

AbstractWe consider different definitions of expectation of random elements taking values in metric spaces. All such definitions are valid also in Banach spaces and in this case the results coincide with the Bochner integral. There may exist an isometry between considered metric space and some Banach space and in this case one can use the Bochner integral instead of expectation in metric space. We give some conditions which ensure existence of such isometry, for two different definitions of expectation in metric space.

Well-posedness of fixed point problem for mappings satisfying an implicit relation
Authors: Akkouchi Mohamed , Popa Valeriu 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThe notion of well-posedness of a fixed point problem has generated much interest to a several mathematicians, for example, F. S. De Blassi and J. Myjak (1989), S. Reich and A. J. Zaslavski (2001), B. K. Lahiri and P. Das (2005) and V. Popa (2006 and 2008). The aim of this paper is to prove for mappings satisfying some implicit relations in orbitally complete metric spaces, that fixed point problem is well-posed.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
We establish quantitative results for the approximation properties of the q-analogue of the Bernstein operator defined by Lupaş in 1987 and for the approximation properties of the limit Lupaş operator introduced by Ostrovska in 2006, via Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness. Our results are local and global approximation theorems.
On continuous convergence of nets of multifunctions
Authors: Przemski Marian 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This paper expands the classical concept of the continuous convergence of nets of multifunctions introduced by Cao, Reilly and Vamanamurthy in [7]. We introduce some new types of properties of convergence of such nets which guarantee the upper or lower semicontinuity of the limit multifunction. Furthermore, we obtain some analogous results concerning generalized continuity properties of multifunctions.

Monounary algebras with same quasiorders or retracts
Authors: Jakubíková-Studenovská Danica , Petrejčíková Mária , Pócs Jozef 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Let (A, f) be a monounary algebra. We describe all monounary algebras (A, g) having the same set of quasiorders, Quord(A, f) = Quord(A, g). It is proved that if Quord(A, f) does not coincide with the set of all reflexive and transitive relations on the set A and (A, f) contains no cycle with more than two elements, then f is uniquely determined by means of Quord(A, f). In the opposite case, Quord(A, f) = Quord(A, g) if and only if Con(A, f) = Con(A, g). Further, we show that, except the case when Quord(A, f) coincides with the set of all reflexive and transitive relations, if the monounary algebras (A, f) and (A, g) have the same quasiorders, then they have the same retracts. Next we characterize monounary algebras which are determined by their sets of retracts and connected monounary algebras which are determined by their sets of quasiorders.
