The night migration complex in the bottom zone of the shallow-water slope on the east coast of southern Lake Baikal near the village of Kluevka was investigated. According to the observations, it was established that the pelagic fish of the suborder Cottoidei and the pelagic amphipodMacrohectopus branickiican sporadically participate in the migration complex. The mass presence of benthic amphipods was highest in the first minute of observations, with more than 250 individuals/freeze-frame, and then stabilized at 43-65 individuals/freeze-frame. The Juday net-collected amphipods comprised only one typically benthic species,Micruropus wohlii platycercus, which is known to be a nocturnal migrant. For the first time, the typically pelagic speciesM. branickii, was observed in the migratory complex over shallow coastal shoal, which species, according to all previous studies, was considered to inhabit only greater depths and to avoid areas with depths of less than 100 m, such as shallow-water slope bottom zones.

Taher A, Solihin DD, Sulistiyani, Sajuthi D, Astuti DA. 2016. Single Nucleotide Polymorphism within the LDLR gene and responsiveness of cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) to atherogenic diet. Biodiversitas 17: 430-434. Genetic variation within low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene has been associated with normal variation of plasma lipid profiles and risks of coronary heart diseases (CHD) in human. Although cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is one of non-human primates commonly used as models in atherosclerosis research, little is known about the extent of polymorphism within the LDLR gene and its consequences on responsiveness to atherogenic diet. In this study, two regions of LDLR gene, namely exon 6 and intron 5, were sequenced in a sample of 22 male cynomolgus macaques which had differences in responsiveness to atherogenic diet. The objective of the study was to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the LDLR gene and to evaluate the kinds of haplotypes in relation to the responsiveness of the cynomolgus macaque to atherogenic diet. Sequence analysis revealed that there were two SNPs at exon 6, i.e. IVS5-6C > G and 825C > G, which were distributed in 3 haplotypes, and five SNPs at intron 5, i.e. g.IVS5+99T > C, g.IVS5+173G > T, g.IVS5+327A > G, g.IVS5âˆ’96C > T, and g.IVS5âˆ’6C > G, which were distributed in 6 haplotypes. It was found that haplotype II (GC) at 6 base pairs prior to the exon 6 and haplotype III (CGGTG) within the intron 5 were associated with hyporesponsiveness to atherogenic diet. The results showed that potential SNP existed within the exon 6 and intron 5 can be used as genetic markers for selecting hypo- from hyperresponders.

A Linear Programming Optimization Model of Woody Biomass Logistics Integrating Infield Drying as a Cost-Saving Preprocess in Michigan
Authors: Lin Yingqian , Pan Fei , Srivastava Ajit 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Because of the greater demand in using woody biomass for bioenergy and bio-based products, feedstock supply chain optimization becomes more important to decrease supply chain logistics costs. As a primary component in the biomass feedstock supply chain, the storage of harvested woody biomass can directly affect transportation cost, biomass quality, and combustion efficiency. An improved operations system structured with linear programming was developed for minimizing the total cost of woody biomass preprocessing, storage, and transportation. The improved operations system was applied in a simulated case study for a power plant in Michigan. In addition, a simulated second feedstock end user was added to the operations system to further test the model. The results showed that the improved operations system could lower supply chain logistics costs, improve feedstock quality, and simultaneously meet the feedstock end user's demand. The sensitivity analysis indicated that the additional profit from selling higher-quality feedstock could offset the increased transportation cost for up to 171 miles. On average, every 1 percent decrease in biomass moisture content can result in a decrease of $760.68 in total cost and a reduction of 52.1 green tons of delivered biomass to satisfy the end user's demands. The operation details suggested by the improved operations system can be used as a guideline of real operations to achieve the lowest possible operations cost. The additional profit return from selling higher-quality feedstock needs to be quantified for various conversion and upgrading options besides direct combustion in the future.

RésuméL’history from belowa marqué plusieurs générations d’historiens, en suscitant des débats sur la recherche des sources ainsi que sur l’élaboration des méthodes nécessaires pour mettre en oeuvre cette formule de recherche historique. La publication en français de l’ouvrage d’E. P.Thompson,Customs in Common (Les usages de la coutume. Traditions et résistances populaires en Angleterre, XVIIe-XIXesiècle), est l’occasion de revenir sur cette approche. Il s’agit moins de se demandercommentréaliser une histoire d’en bas que de s’interroger surquiest ce « bas » dont on voudrait restituer l’histoire. L’article commence par passer en revue les traductions dont les textes d’E. P. Thompson ont fait l’objet en différentes langues, en montrant à quel point celles-ci ont contribué à produire une identification entre lebelowet les classes populaires que l’historien britannique avait lui-même tenté d’éviter. Ensuite sont analysées les réponses formulées par différents courants historiographiques récents –microstoria,spatial turn, études inspirées par Jürgen Habermas. Enfin, l’article propose une interprétation originale de ce programme de recherche, qui en fait moins l’histoire d’une couche sociale qu’un travail de sauvetage(rescue)de « ce qui aurait pu se passer ».
In search of lose wholeness: Phenomenological digression on Jernej Lorenci’s theatre
Authors: Lukan Blaž 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
The article discusses the characteristics of the theatre of director Jernej Lorenci from his directing of The Oresteia (2009) to The Illiad (2015). It defines Lorenci’s break with his former poetics in the directing of The Oresteia, and finds the new condensation of his directing procedures in The Iliad. In the discussed theatre period, Lorenci seeks the possible lapses, soft slips, the play of the alleged that only constitute the true reality, and is not interested in a well-made play. In his shows, Lorenci believes the man rather than the world; in fact, he acknowledges the world only insofar as it is reflected in the man and is projected out of him. His understanding of the man and his humanity perhaps compares to Agamben’s conception of the man as a being who is infinitely missing himself. The paper illustrates the mentioned thesis by analysing two of Lorenci’s figures from The Iliad.

Abstract
An anonymous reader and spectator of the playwright and performer Simona Semenič tries to establish contact with the playwright with the help of performative writing via an open letter. She studies Simona Semenič’s playwriting and her “self-performing” in autobiographical performances, or the victim trilogy, from the point of view of the never-clarified and never-overcome drama or dramatic relationship between the audience and the author. In the second part of the trilogy, entitled the second time, the audience is placed on stage, under the spotlights, with a mic in their hands, while Simona Semenič in the spectacular role of imegavictim in a golden dress and golden sandals with high heels sits on a bar stool and says nothing for the whole time. “And perhaps this is all she’s wanted to say.”
Festival of differences
Authors: Brezavšček Pia 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
The article analyses the 7th Gibanica biennale of Slovenian contemporary dance. It notes that both festival prizes – the jury prize and the audience prize – have, for at least the second time in a row, come as a surprise, and that they represent a sort of subconscious mechanism. It highlights the importance of the festival conference about the Slovenian dancer, choreographer and pedagogue Ksenija Hribar (1938–1999), which also had a role in promoting the awards named after her (now awarded twice). By considering some of the themes in the works chosen for the biennale, which move from the conditions under which artistic work occurs and the objectives of that work to a within dance questioning of form, the heterogeneity of Slovenian contemporary dance is highlighted.

Empirical wavelet transform-based delineator for arterial blood pressure waveforms
Authors: Singh Omkar , Sunkaria Ramesh Kumar 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveforms provide plenty of pathophysiological information about the cardiovascular system. ABP pulse analysis is a routine process used to investigate the health status of the cardiovascular system. ABP pulses correspond to the contraction and relaxation phenomena of the human heart. The contracting or pumping phase of the cardiac chamber corresponds to systolic pressure, whereas the resting or filling phase of the cardiac chamber corresponds to diastolic pressure. An ABP waveform commonly comprises systolic peak, diastolic onset, dicrotic notch, and dicrotic peak. Automatic ABP delineation is extremely important for various biomedical applications. In this paper, a delineator for onset and systolic peak detection in ABP signals is presented. The algorithm uses a recently developed empirical wavelet transform (EWT) for the delineation of arterial blood pulses. EWT is a new mathematical tool used to decompose a given signal into different modes and is based on the design of an adaptive wavelet filter bank. The performance of the proposed delineator is evaluated and validated over ABP waveforms of standard databases, such as the MIT-BIH Polysomnoghaphic Database, Fantasia Database, and Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care Database. In terms of pulse onset detection, the proposed delineator achieved an average error rate of 0.11%, sensitivity of 99.95%, and positive predictivity of 99.92%. In a similar manner for systolic peak detection, the proposed delineator achieved an average error rate of 0.10%, sensitivity of 99.96%, and positive predictivity of 99.92%.
Inspiration from the mirror: D-amino acid containing peptides in biomedical approaches
Authors: Feng Zhaoqianqi , Xu Bing 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
D-amino acids, the enantiomers of naturally abundant L-amino acids, bear unique stereochemistry properties that lead to the resistance towards most of the endogenous enzymes. Previous works have demonstrated applications of D-amino acids in therapeutic development with the aid of mirror-image phage display and retro-inverso peptide synthesis. In this review, we highlight the recent progress and challenges in the exploration of D-amino acids at the interface of chemistry and life science. First, we will introduce some progress made in traditional application of D-amino acids to enhance biostability of peptide therapeutics. Then, we discuss some works that explore the relatively underexplored interactions between the enzyme and D-amino acids and enzymatic reactions of D-amino acids. To highlight the enzymatic reactions of D-amino acids, we will describe several emerging works on the enzyme-instructed self-assembly (EISA) and their potential application in selective anti-inflammatory or anticancer therapies. At the end, we briefly mention the challenges and possible future directions.

Published: May 2016

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the epidemiologic characteristics and outcomes of exposures to electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), nicotine, and tobacco products among young children in the United States.

METHODS:
A retrospective analysis of exposures associated with nicotine and tobacco products among children younger than 6 years old was conducted by using National Poison Data System data.

RESULTS:
From January 2012 through April 2015, the National Poison Data System received 29 141 calls for nicotine and tobacco product exposures among children younger than 6 years, averaging 729 child exposures per month. Cigarettes accounted for 60.1% of exposures, followed by other tobacco products (16.4%) and e-cigarettes (14.2%). The monthly number of exposures associated with e-cigarettes increased by 1492.9% during the study period. Children &lt;2 years old accounted for 44.1% of e-cigarette exposures, 91.6% of cigarette exposures, and 75.4% of other tobacco exposures. Children exposed to e-cigarettes had 5.2 times higher odds of a health care facility admission and 2.6 times higher odds of having a severe outcome than children exposed to cigarettes. One death occurred in association with a nicotine liquid exposure.

CONCLUSIONS:
The frequency of exposures to e-cigarettes and nicotine liquid among young children is increasing rapidly and severe outcomes are being reported. Swift government action is needed to regulate these products to help prevent child poisoning. Prevention strategies include public education; appropriate product storage and use away from children; warning labels; and modifications of e-cigarette devices, e-liquid, and e-liquid containers and packaging to make them less appealing and less accessible to children.
Examining Correlates of Problematic Internet Pornography Use Among University Students
Authors: Harper Cody , Hodgins David C. 
Published: May 2016

Background and aims
The phenomenon of Internet pornography (IP) addiction is gainingincreasing attention in the popular media and psychological research.What has not been tested empirically is how frequency and amount ofIP use, along with other individual characteristics, are related tosymptoms of IP addiction.

Methods
105 female and 86 male university students (mean age 21) from Calgary,Canada, were administered measures of IP use, psychosocial functioning(anxiety and depression, life and relationship satisfaction), addictivepropensities, and addictive IP use.

Results
Men reported earlier age of exposure and more frequent currentIP use than women. Individuals not in relationships reported morefrequent use than those in relationships. Frequency of IP use wasnot generally correlated with psychosocial functioning but was significantlypositively correlated with level of IP addiction. Higher level ofIP addiction was associated with poorer psychosocial functioning andproblematic alcohol, cannabis, gambling and, in particular, videogame use. A curvilinear association was found between frequency ofIP use and level of addiction such that daily or greater IP use wasassociated with a sharp rise in addictive IP scores.

Discussion
The failure to find a strong significant relationship between IPuse and general psychosocial functioning suggests that the overalleffect of IP use is not necessarily harmful in and of itself. Addictiveuse of IP, which is associated with poorer psychosocial functioning,emerges when people begin to use IP daily.
Gender Differences in Pathways to Compulsive Buying in Chinese College Students in Hong Kong and Macau
Authors: Ching Terence H. W. , Tang Catherine S. , Wu Anise , Yan Elsie 
Published: May 2016

Background and aims
The addictive nature of compulsive buying implies that mood disturbances, stress, and cognitive biases that underlie compulsive buying might operate in ways similar in both genders. In the current study, we aimed to test hypothetical pathways of mood compensation and irrational cognitions, which may explain compulsive buying tendencies. We also examined potential gender differences in these pathways.

Methods
Two-hundred and thirty-two male (age: M = 20.30, SD = 1.74) and 373 female Chinese college students (age: M = 19.97, SD = 1.74) in Hong Kong and Macau completed measures assessing compulsive buying, psychological distress, avoidance coping, materialism, and buying-related cognitions. Mediation analyses via a structural equation modeling approach explained by Cheung (2007, 2009) were conducted, with gender as a grouping variable.

Results
There was a gender difference in the mood compensation pathway; avoidance coping partially mediated the link between psychological distress and compulsive buying severity in females only. On the other hand, the irrational cognitive pathway, in which irrational buying-related cognitions fully mediated the link between materialism and compulsive buying severity, was supported for both genders. There was no gender difference in the extent of mediation within the irrational cognitive pathway, and the mediation effect within the irrational cognitive pathway was larger than that within the mood compensation pathway for both genders.

Conclusions
Mood compensation processes in compulsive buying might be female specific, and secondary to irrational cognitions, which were gender invariant. Gender-dependent mechanisms and irrational cognitions should be emphasized in compulsive buying treatment.
Behavioral Impulsivity in Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder
Authors: Abramovitch Amitai , McKay Dean 
Published: May 2016

Background
Grassi et al. (2015) collected data to examine impulsivity in individuals with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) compared to nonpsychiatric controls. Their aim was to examine whether OCD may be fully captured by the behavioral addiction model, using the prototypical mechanism underlying drug addiction as their framework. Based on their findings, Grassi et al. concluded that OCD shares behavioral components with addictions, particularly behavioral impulsivity and risky decision making. Furthermore, the authors suggested that this model may be superior to the prevailing psychological model of OCD.

Findings
We argue that based on the nature of their data as well as the current dominant conceptualization of OCD in the literature, this conclusion is untenable. The authors inferred behavioral impulsivity, whereas their main finding was concerning cognitive impulsivity or difficulties in planning. Such items on the Barratt impulsiveness scale have been shown in other research to overpredict behavioral impulsive tendencies in OCD, where the nature of the condition involves doubting of action and a conservative estimate of how one’s cognitions may impact behavior.

Conclusions
We conclude that similar to drug addiction, compulsive rituals in OCD may be governed by a negative reinforcement mechanism; the available data indicate that OCD does not share the two main components seen in addiction, namely, behavioral impulsivity and risky decision making.

Kimyasal asfiksi denilince akla ilk gelen karbonmonoksit (CO) zehirlenmeleri gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde yaygın olarak görülmektedir. CO zehirlenmelerinin ülkemizde sık görülmesi, sosyal ve önlenebilir bir sağlık sorunu olması önemini bir kat daha arttırmaktadır. Çalışmamız Fırat Üniversitesi Hastanesi Adli Tıp Anabilim Dalı tarafınca 2006-2012 yılları arasında otopsisi yapılan karbonmonoksit zehirlenmesine bağlı ölümlerin tamamını kapsamaktadır. Bu yıllar arasında otopsileri yapılan toplam 1964 adli olguya ait kayıtlar incelenmiş olup CO zehirlenmesi sonucu ölen 29 olgu yaş, cinsiyet, ay, orijin, ölüm süresi, CO kaynağı ve karboksihemoglobin (COHb) değerleri açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Bu 29 adli olgu Elazığ’da 7 yılda otopsisi yapılan 1964 adli olgunun %1.47 sini oluşturmaktadır. Olguların yaş ortalaması 31.5 ±19.5 olup 19' u (%65.5) erkektir. Tüm olguların %3.4' ünde orijin intihardır. Ölümlerin %31' i şubat ayında , %75.9' u evlerde, %79.3' ü olay anında gerçekleşmiştir. Olguların %41.4' ünde CO kaynağı olarak soba kömürü bulunmuştur. Olgularda tespit edilen ortalama COHb düzeyi %49.05 ±16.32'dir. Karbonmonoksit zehirlenmeleri genellikle önlenebilir kazalar sonucu meydana gelmesine rağmen hala toplumsal bir sağlık sorunu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu zehirlenmelerin önlenebilmesi için denetimlerin arttırılması, ısınma ve ısıtma aletlerinin, bacaların, kullanılan yakıtın ve havalandırma sisteminin standartlara uygun olması, hava durumuna göre halkın basın yayın organları aracılığıyla bilgilendirilmesi gerektiği kanaatindeyiz.
