The legislation of emperor Justinian (527–565) and its reception in the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic space
Authors: Mititelu Cătălina 
Published: May 2017

From this study, the reader will find out that the reception of the Roman Law, and especially of the old Roman Law (ius antiquum) – consisting of the utterances of Roman jurists about Law and its nature etc. – in the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic space, went through a new phase during Justinian (527–565), who actually managed to master a part of the north-Danubian territory. Both the old “Law of the Land” and the “Nomocanons” (Pravila), which contain elements of Roman and Byzantine Law, and also of customary law, confirm that Justinian’s legislation – accompanied by comments by the great jurists of the time – was also disseminated in the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic space.

RESUMO Estudos demonstram que a qualidade dos espaços públicos em centros urbanos consolidados interferem no uso e frequência dos usuários. Objetivo: avaliar a qualidade do espaço público em ruas para pedestres em centros urbanos consolidados através do método dialógico, que relaciona o objeto de estudo com seu contexto, de acordo com sua identidade local, seguindo as dimensões física, social e simbólica. Os resultados confirmam que a perda de qualidade dos espaços públicos em centros urbanos consolidados tem relação direta com a perda de sua gênese e isso acarreta no desinteresse da população no seu uso, frequência e na degradação do espaço físico. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Arquitetura Dialógica. Espaço Público. Rua para Pedestres. Gênese. Lugar, cultura e memória. ABSTRACT Studies show that the quality of public spaces in consolidated urban centers interfere with users' use and frequency. Objective: To evaluate the quality of public space in pedestrian streets in urban centers consolidated through the dialogical method, which relates the object of study to its context, according to its local identity, following the physical, social and symbolic dimensions. The results confirm that the loss of quality of public spaces in consolidated urban centers is directly related to the loss of its genesis, and this leads to the lack of interest of the population in its use, frequency and the degradation of physical space.

The review provides data about mechanisms of action of mannosebinding lectin and its particular pathogenic role in a wide range of respiratory diseases: bacterial pneumonia, viral respiratory tract infections, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma in adults and children.
Clay and Polymer-Based Composites Applied to Drug Release: A Scientific and Technological Prospection
Authors: Meirelles Lyghia Maria Araújo , Raffin Fernanda Nervo 
Published: May 2017

There has been a growing trend in recent years for the development of hybrid materials, called composites, based on clay and polymers, whose innovative properties render them attractive for drug release. The objective of this manuscript was to conduct a review of original articles on this topic published over the last decade and of the body of patents related to these carriers. A scientific prospection was carried out spanning the period from 2005 to 2015 on the Web of Science database. The technological prospection encompassed the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office, the World International Patent Office and the National Institute of Industrial Property databases, filtering patents with the code A61K. The survey revealed a rise in the number of publications over the past decade, confirming the potential of these hybrids for use in pharmaceutical technology. Through interaction between polymer and clay, the mechanical and thermal properties of composites are enhanced, promoting stable, controlled drugs release in biological media. The most cited clays analyzed in the articles was montmorillonite, owing to its high surface area and capacity for ion exchange. The polymeric part is commonly obtained by copolymerization, particularly using acrylate derivatives. The hybrid materials are obtained mainly in particulate form on a nanometric scale, attaining a modified release profile often sensitive to stimuli in the media. A low number of patents related to the topic were found. The World International Patent Office had the highest number of lodged patents, while Japan was the country which published the most patents. A need to broaden the application of this technology to include more therapeutic classes was identified. Moreover, the absence of regulation of nanomaterials might explain the disparity between scientific and technological output. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

An Exploratory Study Investigating the Non-Clinical Benefits of Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine
Authors: Jackson Elizabeth , Hauser Sarah 
Published: May 2017

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>As little prior research exists about the non-clinical benefits of evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM), this exploratory study was conducted to identify non-clinical benefits of EBVM to veterinary practices, as well as highlighting the barriers to further implementation, and ways to overcome them.</p><p><strong>Background:</strong> A PICO-based literature review (Hauser and Jackson, 2016) was conducted to establish current knowledge about the non-clinical benefits of EBVM. It found that while there are some papers suggesting a link between the practice of EBVM and better non-clinical benefits such as client satisfaction and client retention, a single study, focusing on the non-clinical benefits of EBVM, had yet to be conducted.</p><p><strong>Evidentiary value:</strong> This exploratory study provides a solid basis for the further development of a confirmatory study of the themes identified in the interviews. The impact on practice from our findings is significant as it details the key areas where the use of EBVM can yield commercial benefits from the perspective of a group of EBVM experts via interview. It is entirely possible that international veterinary environments which mirror that of the UK will find this research beneficial.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Due to the paucity of data about the non-clinical benefits of EBVM, an exploratory, qualitative approach was taken to this research in order to build a platform for further confirmatory, quantitative investigation (Zikmund, 2003). In February and March 2016 interviews with 16 RCVS Knowledge Group chairs<a name="_ftnref1" href="#_ftn1"></a>[1] were conducted. The interview guide contained broad, open-ended questions to explore existing tacit knowledge about the non-commercial benefits of EBVM. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed <em>verbatim</em> and subsequently analysed using NVivo 11 software.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> This qualitative enquiry showed that the key areas where the use of EBVM can yield non-clinical benefits are through increased client satisfaction and retention, improved reputation and confidence of the veterinarian, as well as employee engagement. In order to yield these benefits the two main barriers, time and resources, need to be overcome.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The themes highlighted in this paper provide a solid, real world base for further, quantitative study of the non-clinical benefits of practising EBVM. </p><p><strong>Application:</strong> The results of this research are applicable to practicing veterinarians, nurses and other practice staff. It is clear that practising EBVM not only leads to better clinical outcomes, but can also result in commercial benefits, such as better client retention and employee engagement</p><br /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access" /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/pr-icon.jpg" alt="Peer Reviewed" />

Authors: Anshory Izza 
Published: May 2017

The research on the development of electric vehicles includes such as power electronics, energy storage capability that the higher the battery, reducing fuel emissions, and the motor efficiency. The electric motor efficiency requires the automatic control on the main parameters such as speed, position, and acceleration. The performance setting of speed Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor can be improved by using the controller Proportional Integral Derivative (PID), a combination of PID using nature inspired optimization algorithms such as Bat Algorithm (BA). BA is one of the optimization algorithm that mimics the behavior of bats on the move using a vibration or sound pulses emitted a very loud (echolocation) and listen to the echoes that bounce back from the object to determine the circumstances surrounding vicinity In this paper, simulate of Bat Algorithm to find the best value PID controller parameter to speed control BLDC motor and analyze performance such as the value of overshoot, steady state. The result simulation shows that values for the PID parameters without using algorithm bat is Kp = 208.1177, Ki = 1767, and Kd = -8.6025. While using the algorithm bat got value Kp = 5.4303e+04, Ki = -1.3059e+06, and Kd = 3.0193e+04. The performance of the motor obtained through value rise time of 0. 282, settling time of 1.5, overshoot value of 20.5% and the peak value of 1.21.
Association Between Participating in Noncompetitive or Competitive Sports and Mental Health among Adolescents – a Norwegian Population-based Cross-sectional Study

Published: May 2017

Abstract

Background
Mental health problems in adolescents have become a major public health challenge in many western countries. Many adolescents participate in noncompetitive or competitive sports for leisure. The aim of this study was to examine the association between participation in noncompetitive or competitive sports and mental health problems among Norwegian adolescents.

Method
Data from a cross-sectional survey conducted among Norwegian junior high (N=9414) and high school students (N=10,571) aged 13 to 22 years were examined. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used for measuring mental health problems, in the form of total symptom scores and impact on daily life. Participation in sports was categorized as follows: 1) not participating; 2) participating in noncompetitive sports; and 3) participating in competitive sports. Sports were divided into individual and team sports. Weekly exercise, healthy diet, and number of friends were investigated as mediating factors, and age, gender, and perceived economic status were controlled for in the analysis.

Results
Adolescents participating in either noncompetitive or competitive sports had fewer total symptoms and less impact of problems on their daily life compared with those not participating in sports. In particular, participation in team sports as opposed to participation in individual sports seemed to be associated with fewer mental health problems. Weekly exercise, healthy diet, and number of friends were found to be partially mediating factors, explaining some, but not all, of the association between participation in either sports group. Participation in competitive sports, especially, was associated with fewer mental health problems.

Conclusions
Participation in sports, either noncompetitive or competitive, is associated with fewer mental health problems in adolescents. This negative association is strongest for those participating in competitive sports. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms underlying this relationship.
EI FORAS, MULIER, CZYLI ROZWÓD W KOMEDIACH PLAUTA

El FORAS MULIER, VIZ. DIVORCE IN PLAUTUS’ COMEDIESSummary The Romans treated law as a very important element of everyday life. That is why their literature is so full of allusions to law.Plautus wrote his comedies for nearly 30 years, between 210 and 184B.C. His plays were based on the Greek Middle and New Comedy. It isnot always easy to distinguish the parts where he refers to Roman law fromthose where he simply translates the original text without making anychanges.In many of Plautus’ plays we can find information about divorce, though divorce was never shown on the stage for obvious moral reasons.In Menaechmi the husband threatens his wife with repudium because hefeels a slave in his own house - an ideal wife should - under no circumstances - spy on her husband or even ask him about his affairs. The position of a men in this relationship is rather weak - his wife brought a largedowry and he is simply afraid of what he could lose by ending his marriage. In Mercator Syra, a slave-woman, comments that husbans are allowed tohave sexual contacts with other women, whereas their wives can be easilyrepudiated even if seen outside their houses without a permission. Thereseems to have been no possibility for a woman to demand divorce in Romeof the III/II century B. C. Plautus uses this fact for comical purposes. InAmphitruo Alcumena speaks the formula of repudium as if backwords: tibihabeas res tuasy reddas meas, making it sound as if it was her husband to repudiate her.Plautus gives a lot of evidence that divorces were quite common in histimes and that the Romans knew perfectly all its legal aspects.
Anti-Cancer Compounds Targeted to VDAC: Potential and Perspectives
Authors: Reina Simona , De Pinto Vito 
Published: May 2017

Background
VDAC (Voltage-Dependent Anion selective Channel) is a small
family of abundant pore-forming proteins located in the outer mitochondrial membrane. Their
role range from the most intuitive, the formation of a hydrophilic conduit through the membrane
thanks to its beta-barrel structure, to less understood functions that make them essential
actors in the cross-talk between the bioenergetics metabolism and the cytosol components.
Due to this localization, VDAC1, in particular, has been reported to be involved in apoptosis,
Hexokinase and tubulin binding, and in the Warburg effect. For these reasons, an involvement
of VDAC in cancer is considered consequential and a number of compounds have been proposed
and used in experimental trials to demonstrate the efficacy of molecules affecting the
functions of VDAC.

Objectives:
In this work, we thus survey the literature describing drug compounds acting on
the cancerous proliferation through VDAC. Three main categories have been assigned: molecules
acting on the VDAC-Hexokinase binding, molecules directly inhibiting the VDAC conductance,
molecules affecting the expression levels of the VDAC gene. The application of
biological peptides for this purpose is also considered.

Conclusion:
Since the knowledges about the functional properties of VDAC protein are still
insufficient, VDAC as a pharmacological target in the fight against cancer is still a very open,
but very promising, field.

Published: May 2017

En este texto se presenta la primera estimación que se hace en Costa Rica acerca de la valoración económica del trabajo no remunerado, a partir de los resultados de la encuesta “Uso del tiempo de la Gran Área Metropolitana 2011” (EUT-GAM, 2011). El cálculo del valor económico del trabajo no remunerado para la Gran Área Metropolitana equivale a 16% del pib nacional, cifra que se asemeja a la de la industria manufacturera y a la del sector comercio. Los resultados revelan que 95% de este valor se refiere al trabajo doméstico y que existen importantes brechas entre las mujeres y los hombres. Se estimó también el valor económico para todo el país, que representa 30% del PIB. AbstractThis text presents the first estimate made in Costa Rica of the economic value of unpaid work, based on the results of the “Time Use in the Greater Metropolitan Area 2011” Survey (EUT-GAM, 2011). The economic value of unpaid work for the greater metropolitan area is estimated at 16% of GDP, a similar figure to that of the manufacturing in-dustry and trade sector. The results show that domestic work accounts for 95% of this value and that there are significant gaps between women and men. The economic value for the whole country, equivalent to 30% of GDP, is also estimated.

La última obra de la historiadora Mary Kay Vaughan, Portrait of a Young Painter: Pepe Zúñiga and Mexico City’s Rebel Generation, recorre la vida del pintor Jose “Pepe” Zúñiga, nacido en Oaxaca pero creció y vivió la mayor parte de su vida adulta en la Ciudad de México, como un lente que nos permite contemplar la formación de su generación. La juventud de Zúñiga y sus compatriotas hizo un cruce con el movimiento estudiantil del año 68, aunque no se integró con el mismo. Este libro complementa las grandes contribuciones históricas de la autora a nuestro entendimiento de la historia nacional del siglo XX, sobre todo en los campos de la historia de la educación, la relación entre el patriarcado y la nación-estado, y la historia del género, pero este libro utiliza una nueva metodología y tono. Vaughan recurre a las entrevistas como las fuentes primarias en las que está basada la narrativa, y las suple con documentos de los archivos históricos. Así reconstruye la vida de Zúñiga desde su infancia tradicional y provincial en Oaxaca en los 1930, y sigue la trayectoria de su adolescencia y juventud en la movida y cosmopolita ciudad capitalina hasta los primeros años de la década de los 70s. La historia de la vida personal de Zúñiga se vuelve metáfora por la evolución de su cohorte, una generación expuesta a las novedosas influencias sónicas, visuales, y sentimentales trasnacionales.
