Fashion designers and their business partners: Juggling creativity and commerce
Authors: Overdiek Anja 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Dual and complementary leadership is common in certain parts of the cultural and creative industries, such as in theatres or architecture firms. It is also surfacing now and then in the international designer fashion sector. Formerly hidden behind the branded glamour of a creative leader, the collaboration between a designer and a managerial/commercial leader has recently become more visible. In some countries, studies even claim that dual leadership is a sustainable managerial model for designer fashion entrepreneurship. What does this kind of leadership entail and how can its dynamics be understood? Theoretically, dual leadership can be seen as a particular form of the ambidextrous top management team (TMT). In order to succeed, a fashion designer and his business partner must juggle quantifiable and efficiency-driven processes as well as intangible and creativity-driven ones. How do they do this? To map the empirical field, this article turns to the practices of designer/business partner ‘pairs’ in Dutch small- and medium-sized fashion companies (SMEs). In this context, characteristics and collaborative practices are surfacing which are subsequently compared to TMT research. Results suggest a collectivist perspective on creative leadership and allow for some recommendations for Dutch designer fashion businesses and for research in other fashion geographies.

Authors: Löhe Klaus , Zehelein Thomas , Roppenecker Günter 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt ein Konzept zur Fahrbahngüteschätzung mittels autoregressiver Filterung an einem Zweiachs-Fahrzeug
vor. Für einen durch Kalman-Filterung gewonnenen Schätzwert der Unebenheitsanregung kann mittels autoregressiver Filterung die
spektrale Unebenheitsdichte und damit die aktuelle Fahrbahngüte gewonnen werden. Diese wird in das Kalman-Filter zurückgeführt, wodurch
jenes fahrbahnadaptiv wird und die Schätzgüte erhöht werden kann. Das Konzept wurde an einem Viertelfahrzeugprüfstand
realisiert. Hierzu werden Messungen aufgezeigt.

Authors: Sauer Andreas , Perschl Franz , Rottengruber Hermann 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
Um die steigende Komplexität von Hybridfahrzeugen zu beherrschen und deren Potential vollständig auszuschöpfen, ist eine
intelligente Betriebsstrategie notwendig. Die mathematische Optimierung solcher Strategien benötigt hohe Rechenleistung
und Kenntnis über die vorausliegende Strecke. Da beides nur eingeschränkt im Fahrzeug verfügbar ist, wird in diesem
Beitrag vorgeschlagen, die Mobilfunk-Verbindung moderner Fahrzeuge zu nutzen. Die Prädiktion auf Basis von aufgezeichneten
Fahrprofilen anderer Fahrzeuge, und die nachfolgende Optimierung der Betriebsstrategie werden auf stationären
Backend-Servern durchgeführt.

Published: May 2016

Abstract
The present paper describes the controller design for a hydraulic hexapod which is used as an excitation unit for
a Hardware-in-the-Loop axle test rig. This includes a description of the plant model, the subordinate drive controllers, the sliding
mode state observer as well as the position control of the free hexapod. Measurements show the high dynamics of the
position-controlled hexapod. The concept is extended to a hybrid position/force control to be used during axle test maneuvers. Its
functionality is demonstrated by a measurement used for the identification of the axle kinematics.

Authors: Renninger Johannes , Trächtler Ansgar 
Published: May 2016

Zusammenfassung
Im Fokus dieses Beitrags steht die fahrzeugspezifische Modellerweiterung eines Fahrdynamikbeobachters im Bereich der
Fahrwerks- und Lenkkinematik sowie deren Einfluss auf die Schätzgüte. Die Notwendigkeit der Modellierung der Lenkkinematik
wird durch Analysen am Einspurmodell gezeigt. Vor dem Entwurfsprozess des Beobachters wird das Modell, das die Vertikal-
und Horizontaldynamik des Fahrzeugs umfasst, geeignet zerlegt. Die resultierenden Teilbeobachter werden als Kalman Filter
und Erweitertes Kalman Filter ausgelegt. Die erreichte Steigerung der Schätzgüte durch Hinzunahme der Fahrwerks- und
Lenkkinematik zeigt sich insbesondere in einer höheren Qualität der
Schwimmwinkelschätzung. Die erzielten Verbesserungen werden durch praktische Versuchsfahrten validiert.
Plant regeneration from protoplasts of Gentiana straminea Maxim
Authors: Shi Guomin , Yang Lina , He Tao 
Published: May 2016

AbstractA protocol is described for plant regeneration from protoplasts of Gentiana straminea Maxim. via somatic embryogenesis. Protoplasts were isolated from embryogenic calli in an enzyme solution composed of 2% Cellulase Onozuka R-10, 0.5% Macerozyme R-10, 0.5% Hemicellulase, and 0.5 M sorbitol with a yield of 3.0 × 106 protoplasts per gram of fresh weight. Liquid, solid-liquid double layer (sLD) and agar-pool (aPL) culture systems were used for protoplast culture. The aPL culture was the only method that produced embryogenic, regenerative calli. With aPL culture, the highest frequencies of protoplast cell division and colony formation were 39.6% and 16.9%, respectively, on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 0.5 mg/L N6-benzylaminopurine (BA). Microcalli were transferred to solid MS medium containing a reduced concentration of 2,4-D (0.5 mg/L) to promote the formation of embryogenic calli. Somatic embryos developed into plantlets on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L BA at a rate of 43.7%.
Hydrogels based on collagen and fibrin – frontiers and applications
Authors: Schneider-Barthold Caroline , Baganz Sabrina , Wilhelmi Mathias , Scheper Thomas , Pepelanova Iliyana 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Hydrogels are a versatile tool for a multitude of applications in biomedical research and clinical practice. Especially collagen and fibrin hydrogels are distinguished by their excellent biocompatibility, natural capacity for cell adhesion and low immunogenicity. In many ways, collagen and fibrin represent an ideal biomaterial, as they can serve as a scaffold for tissue regeneration and promote the migration of cells, as well as the ingrowth of tissues. On the other hand, pure collagen and fibrin materials are marked by poor mechanical properties and rapid degradation, which limits their use in practice. This paper will review methods of modification of natural collagen and fibrin materials to next-generation materials with enhanced stability. A special focus is placed on biomedical products from fibrin and collagen already on the market. In addition, recent research on the in vivo applications of collagen and fibrin-based materials will be showcased.
pH-responsive release of chlorhexidine from modified nanoporous silica nanoparticles for dental applications

Published: May 2016

Abstract
A pH-sensitive stimulus-response system for controlled drug release was prepared by modifying nanoporous silica nanoparticles (NPSNPs) with poly(4-vinylpyridine) using a bismaleimide as linker. At physiological pH values, the polymer serves as gate keeper blocking the pore openings to prevent the release of cargo molecules. At acidic pH values as they can occur during a bacterial infection, the polymer strains become protonated and straighten up due to electrostatic repulsion. The pores are opened and the cargo is released. The drug chlorhexidine was loaded into the pores because of its excellent antibacterial properties and low tendency to form resistances. The release was performed in PBS and diluted hydrochloric acid, respectively. The results showed a considerably higher release in acidic media compared to neutral solvents. Reversibility of this pH-dependent release was established. In vitro tests proved good cytocompatibility of the prepared nanoparticles. Antibacterial activity tests with Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus revealed promising perspectives of the release system for biofilm prevention. The developed polymer-modified silica nanoparticles can serve as an efficient controlled drug release system for long-term delivery in biomedical applications, such as in treatment of biofilm-associated infections, and could, for example, be used as medical implant coating or as components in dental composite materials.
On the importance of a genre-based approach in the teaching of English for Medical Purposes
Authors: León Pérez Isabel K. , Martín-Martín Pedro 
Published: May 2016

AbstractIn experimental disciplinary fields such as medicine, the writing up of a research paper in English may represent a major hurdle, especially for inexperienced writers and users of EAL (English as an Additional Language), mainly due to a lack of familiarity with international discourse conventions. Despite the efforts of many EAP (English for Academic Purposes) researchers and practitioners to provide support for medical PhD students and novice scholars by carrying out studies on research writing, specific courses with an explicit pedagogical approach to the teaching of academic genres are still scarce. Moreover, it often happens that the only possibility of receiving training in writing skills is in the pre-clinical years, when the students are not yet experienced language users and when they lack both the genre conventions and the specialized subject knowledge for such a demanding task. In this article, we offer our view of a genre-driven pedagogy and its practical applications in an EMP (English for Medical Purposes) classroom with the ultimate aim of helping students to publish their medical papers in international (English-language) journals. Our genre-based teaching approach consists in a prior discussion with students about the socio-cultural context in which a particular academic genre occurs. This process of discovery of the social circumstances that surround a specific genre can help them understand more readily its communicative purpose. We believe that a second stage should be the explicit teaching of functions and language structures of archetypal academic texts, initially in a highly controlled fashion, and later on a freer basis, but always using reference papers for illustration and comparison. If learners are more aware of the rhetorical strategies preferred by the members of their disciplinary communities, they may feel more confident as EAL writers about the rhetorical options they can choose depending on the context and type of audience they are addressing.
Learning terminology in order to become an active agent in the development of Basque biomedical registers
Authors: Unzalu Igone Zabala , Martin Egia Itziar San , Ayestaran Mikel Lersundi 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThe aim of this article is to describe some theoretical and methodological bases underpinning the design of the course Health Communication in Basque (HCB) at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). Based on some relevant theoretical tenets of the socioterminologic and communicative approaches to Terminology, the authors assume that terminology planning must be adapted to the sociolinguistic situation of each language. Moreover, the article claims that terminology planning for a language undergoing a normalization process must acknowledge the target situation of well-developed languages, in which terminology changes over time and varies according to communicative situations. Taking into account the sociolinguistic situation of Basque, the authors conclude that the most important goal of the HCB course should be to help students become active agents in the development and consolidation of Basque biomedical terminology. Thus, the most relevant learning objectives defined in the syllabus involve language awareness with regard to terminology variation: using term formation rules to create different kinds of denominative variants, actively thinking about the grammaticality and genuineness of different variants of terms, and managing terminological variation according to functional criteria.

Putting the plain into pain language in English for Medical Purposes: Learner inquiry into patients’ online descriptive accounts
Authors: Plastina Anna Franca 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThe need to teach medical students plain language for their future engagement in pain communication can no longer be underestimated. Pain education has traditionally neglected the teaching of pain language, yet patients’ descriptive accounts have been acknowledged as the standard in medical care. English for Medical Purposes (EMP) can make its contribution to tertiary pain education, especially at a time when the plain language paradigm is considered key for health literacy. This is not to say that teaching specialized language and plain language for specific purposes are mutually exclusive. Yet, developing EMP learners’ understanding of the use of authentic plain pain language is also crucial for their future professional practice. This study reports on a pedagogical experiment conducted with the aim of enhancing EMP learners’ understanding of the lexico-grammatical features of pain language in patients’ descriptive accounts and in the use of pain assessment tools. The experiment was framed by the Hallidayan lexico-grammatical model of pain. Following a data-driven learning approach, students compiled a small DIY corpus of accounts from online health support groups and exploited its direct use through corpus-based tasks. These were designed to facilitate learners’ understanding of the features of pain language and of patients’ use of pain descriptors related to those in the McGill Pain assessment tool currently employed in medical care. Learners further broadened their understanding of pain language in other contexts of use while taking notes to fulfil the designed tasks. These helped shed light on the pedagogical practice here proposed.
International medical graduates and the discursive patterns of patient-centred communication
Authors: Woodward-Kron Robyn 
Published: May 2016

AbstractIn many Western countries such as Australia, international medical graduates (IMGs) play a crucial role in meeting health workforce needs. For doctors for whom English is an additional language and who have received their medical education in non-Western settings, a challenge is the patient-centred approach to communication, which is well established in Western medical education as the optimal approach for safe and effective healthcare. It acknowledges the patient as an active participant in the healthcare interaction, and the importance of the psychosocial dimension of patient well-being. While there is a vast literature on doctor-patient discourse in the qualitative health literature, there is little in the medical education domain that systematically examines the linguistic patterns of doctors who are learning or are less familiar with patient-centred paradigms of communication. This article examines how IMG doctors manage patient-centred interviewing. The data are 15 video-taped 8-minute roleplay consultations of IMGs and simulated patients. Systemic functional linguistics and genre theory provided the theoretical framework and tools to analyse how the doctors realised the tasks of patient-centred communication as informed by the medical education literature, with a particular focus on the tasks of gathering information, providing information and decision-making. The findings suggest that the discourse patterns of doctor-patient communication demonstrated by the IMG doctors were
Failure Analysis Using Functional Model and Bayesian Network
Authors: Khalil Mohamed A. , Ahmad Arshad , Abdullah Tuan Amran T. , Al-shanini Ali 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
A class of functional model known as multilevel flow model (MFM) is used to represent a pilot scale heat exchanger system. MFM is effective in representing chemical process qualitatively through graphical representation, but lacks the ability to quantify the impact of successes or failures of process events, and is not able to quantitatively distinguish between steps in a goal and their contributions towards achieving the main goal. To address this issue, the MFM is converted into its equivalent fault tree (FT) model to accommodate logical sequence of events along with the needed quantifications. The FT model is then converted into Bayesian network (BN) model to facilitate updates of probabilities. Using Hugin 8.1 software, the BN model is simulated to investigate the response of the process when subjected to various faults. The results highlight the capability of the model in detecting process faults and in identifying the associated root causes, thus pointing to the potentials of the proposed strategy in modeling complex chemical processes for higher level functions in plant operations such as facilitating alarm system and fault diagnosis.
Translational radionanomedicine: a clinical perspective
Authors: Choi Hongyoon , Lee Yun-Sang , Hwang Do Won , Lee Dong Soo 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Many nanomaterials were developed for the anticipated in vivo theranostic use exploiting their unique characteristics as a multifunctional platform. Nevertheless, only a few nanomaterials are under investigation for human use, most of which have not entered clinical trials yet. Radionanomedicine, a convergent discipline of radiotracer technology and use of nanomaterials in vivo, can facilitate clinical nanomedicine because of its advantages of radionuclide imaging and internal radiation therapy. In this review, we focuse on how radionanomedicine would impact profoundly on clinical translation of nanomaterial theranostics. Up-to-date advances and future challenges are critically reviewed regarding the issues of how to radiolabel and engineer radionanomaterials, in vivo behavior tracing of radionanomaterials and then the desired clinical radiation dosimetry. Radiolabeled extracellular vesicles were further discussed as endogenous nanomaterials radiolabeled for possible clinical use.
Standard and Colloquial Belgian Dutch pronouns of address: A variationist-interactional study of child-directed speech in dinner table interactions
Authors: Van De Mieroop Dorien , Zenner Eline , Marzo Stefania 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThis paper presents a corpus-based analysis of child-directed speech during Flemish family dinner table interactions. Specifically, we study parents’ style-shifts, that is, their alternation between Standard Dutch and Colloquial Belgian Dutch, a non-standard supraregional variant of Dutch, when interacting with their children. By integrating insights and methods from variationist and interactional sociolinguistics, we pay attention not only to macro-social categories (such as the age of the children), but also to the micro-social and pragmatic context (e. g. frames) of the style-shifts. The fact that this study focuses on a single case-study is a consequence of opting for this combination of course-grained quantitative analyses and fine-grained qualitative analyses. We rely on detailed transcriptions of three hours of recordings for one Flemish household with four children (age nine months, and four, five and seven years old). Our results reveal significant variation in the style-shifts of the mother (age 35) and the father (age 39) with respect to the four children. These results were interpreted against the background of comments made by the parents during a sociolinguistic interview that followed the recordings. Generally, our analyses allow us to provide a nuanced insight into the social meaning of the two language layers (Standard Dutch and Colloquial Belgian Dutch) as they are distributed across the speakers and situations in this family, thus revealing a link between the attested patterns of child-directed speech and the acquisition of sociolinguistic norms.
Weak solutions for generalized stationary Oldroyd-B fluid with a diffusive stress
Authors: Bousbih Hafedh , Majdoub Mohamed 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This paper focuses on the analysis of the stationary case of incompressible viscoelastic generalized Oldroyd-B fluids derived in [2] by Bejaoui and Majdoub. The studied model is different from the classical Oldroyd-B fluid model in having a viscosity function which is shear-rate depending, and a diffusive stress added to the equation of the elastic part of the stress tensor.
Under some conditions on the viscosity stress tensor and for a large class of models, we prove the existence of weak solutions in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional bounded domains for shear-thickening flows.

Alcohol consumption in Russia remains a topic of extensive debate and investigation. In this article we attempt to explore and analyze some factors affecting vodka, beer, dry wine and champagne consumption in the country by utilizing the most recent household level dataset. We made use of logistical regression approach as a key empirical tool. Our findings highlight that there exist different trends and patterns in contemporary alcohol drinking behavior among respondents. This paper rejects the common stereotype that only vodka is a popular variety of alcohol beverage in Russia. In a model with dry wine and champagne most of explanatory variables remain statistically significant.
On the Relevance of Low-Mach-Number Asymptotics in Thermodynamics of Heterogeneous, Immiscible Mixtures
Authors: Varsakelis Christos , Papalexandris Miltiadis V. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractA conundrum in non-equilibrium thermodynamics of heterogeneous mixtures with microstructure concerns the selection of thermodynamic currents and forces in the entropy production rate from the multitude of available options. The objective of this article is to demonstrate that the low-Mach-number approximation can narrow down this ambiguity. More specifically, by postulating that the post-constitutive equations are well behaved with respect to this perturbation analysis we assert that thermal non-equilibrium should be chosen as an independent force even if this requires the explicit manipulation of the entropy inequality. According to our analysis, alternative choices result in post-constitutive equations; the incompressible limit of which gives rise to questionable predictions.
