Authors: Komendziński Tomasz , Mikołajewska Emilia , Mikołajewski Dariusz , Dreszer Joanna , Bałaj Bibianna 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Cognitive robots constitute a highly interdisciplinary approach to the issue of therapy of children with developmental disorders. Cognitive robots become more popular, especially in action and language integration areas, joining the experience of psychologists, neuroscientists, philosophers, and even engineers. The concept of a robot as a cognitive companion for humans may be very useful. The interaction between humans and cognitive robots may be a mediator of movement patterns, learning behaviors from demonstrations, group activities, and social behaviors, as far as higher-order concepts such as symbol manipulation capabilities, words acquisition, and sensorimotor knowledge organization. Moreover there is an occupation to check many theories, such as transferring the knowledge and skills between humans and robots. Although several robotic solutions for children have been proposed the diffusion of aforementioned ideas is still limited. The review summarizes the current and future role of cognitive robots in the development and rehabilitation of children with developmental disorders.
Smart management of sample dilution using an artificial neural network to achieve streamlined processes and saving resources: the automated nephelometric testing of serum free light chain as case study
Authors: Ialongo Cristiano , Pieri Massimo , Bernardini Sergio 
Published: July 2016

Abstract

Background:
Saving resources is a paramount issue for the modern laboratory, and new trainable as well as smart technologies can be used to allow the automated instrumentation to manage samples more efficiently in order to achieve streamlined processes. In this regard the serum free light chain (sFLC) testing represents an interesting challenge, as it usually causes using a number of assays before achieving an acceptable result within the analytical range.

Methods:
An artificial neural network based on the multi-layer perceptron (MLP-ANN) was used to infer the starting dilution status of sFLC samples based on the information available through the laboratory information system (LIS). After the learning phase, the MLP-ANN simulation was applied to the nephelometric testing routinely performed in our laboratory on a BN ProSpec® System analyzer (Siemens Helathcare) using the N Latex FLC kit.

Results:
The MLP-ANN reduced the serum kappa free light chain (κ-FLC) and serum lambda free light chain (λ-FLC) wasted tests by 69.4% and 70.8% with respect to the naïve stepwise dilution scheme used by the automated analyzer, and by 64.9% and 66.9% compared to a “rational” dilution scheme based on a 4-step dilution.

Conclusions:
Although it was restricted to follow-up samples, the MLP-ANN showed good predictive performance, which alongside the possibility to implement it in any automated system, made it a suitable solution for achieving streamlined laboratory processes and saving resources.

Published: July 2016

Abstract

Background:
Medication therapy management (MTM) is a pharmacist-led professional service, one of the main aims of which is to improve patient medication adherence. Ensuring adequate adherence to the prescribed therapeutic regimen is one of the major challenges in attaining the desired therapeutic goals in diabetics. The objective of this study was to implement MTM in diabetic patients and to identify its effectiveness in improving patient medication adherence.

Methods:
A prospective interventional study was carried out within a 1-year period in KIMS-Al-Shifa Hospital, which is a tertiary care referral hospital in Malabar region of Kerala, including inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the general medicine department of the hospital. The MTM programme was applied in selected patients, including personal medication record, medication-related action plan and detailed counselling. Adherence was measured using the Modified Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-4 both before and after the programme.

Results:
A total of 104 patients were included in the study. The adherence of patients to anti-diabetic therapy was very low, which showed significant improvement after applying intervention (p-value<0.05 in a paired t-test). Initially, only 37.5% had high adherence which was increased to 59.5% after intervention. Age and educational status were identified to have a significant impact on patient medication adherence (p-value<0.05 in a χ2-test).

Conclusions:
Medication adherence is a key component of self-management for patients with diabetes. A pharmacist-led MTM programme if appropriately designed and implemented will have a potential positive impact on medication adherence in diabetic patients.

Internal Round Robin Tests for Operators of Mechanical Tests
Authors: Madejski Bartosz 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
For the characterisation of materials, the aeronautical industry accesses the expertise and the support of independent test laboratories. For the execution of characterisation tests of materials it is important that the test laboratory can fulfil the requirements of the testing expertly and continuously improves knowledge related to the tests. Quality systems are very helpful in this respect. One element of quality management systems is the internal round robin tests. This paper presents a procedure of teaching new operators to carry out tests. In addition, this article underlines how the importance of interlaboratory tests for finding and eliminating mistakes made by new operators. The analysis was performed for tensile tests. This test enables the assessment of operators and significantly improves the quality of tests.

Verbesserte Beschäftigungsbedingungen für Seeleute. Richtlinienvorschlag der Kommission zur Änderung des Seearbeitsrechtes
Authors: Loth Katharina 
Published: July 2016

SummaryDue to competition and international expansion, the level of protection for seafarers decreased continually, mostly in virtue of flagging out. On this account, the requirements for seafarer’s labour law need to be revised. In this context, the European Commission plans to extend social standards concerning the employment of seafarers on a European level by adopting a directive on the rights of seafarers. According to the scopes of existing directives, it is presently possible to exclude seafarers from certain rights to involvement. Thus, the Commission aims to widen the scopes of five directives primarily concerning the right to information, hearing and consultation finding that there was no reason for the exclusion. By increasing the rights of employed seafarers, more European people shall be encouraged to take a job in the maritime sector. Although the initiative is considered a good contribution on that way, there might be other factors that keep young Europeans from taking the job of a seafarer, such as spending months on sea or being exposed to dangers on the high seas. Moreover, the initiative allows excluding seafarers from substantive claims. It needs to be examined whether the characteristics of seafaring require such regulation. Yet, the proposed measures do state, together with the EU Blue Book, the challenges for competitive and future-compliant seafaring and set a starting point for their realization.
Südtiroler Sprachenprivileg für Zivilprozesse gilt auch für EU-Bürger ohne Wohnsitz in Südtirol!
Authors: Kramme Malte 
Published: July 2016

SummaryThe ECJ states in its decision of 27 March 2014 (C-322/13) that the non-discrimination principle (article 18 TFEU) and the principle of free movement of persons (article 21 TFEU) preclude a rule of national law granting a right to use a language other than the official language of the Member State in civil proceedings brought before the courts of a Member State which are situated in a specific territorial entity, only to citizens of that State who are domiciled in the same territorial entity. The case note demonstrates that this ruling is a result of a very broad interpretation of the two principles in question.
Internationale Zuständigkeit bei der Miete ausländischer Ferienhäuser
Authors: Wagner Rolf , Diehl Yannick 
Published: July 2016

SummaryWith its decision of 23 October 2012 the Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof = BGH) enabled German courts to judge very tenant-friendly in questions of international jurisdiction concerning international vacation house tenancies.However, the relevant literature on Article 22 No. 1 Brussels I Regulation shed light on issues of this decision especially concerning the interpretation of the term “tenancy”. Here, the term tenancy is understood in a wider way.In contrast, the Federal Supreme Court argues for a very restrictive interpretation of the term tenancy in Article 22 No. 1 Brussels I Regulation, and by that loses sight of the ECJ’s exclusive right of interpretation of law-terms of the Regulation. This results in an interpretation of the term “tenancy” particularly contradicting the ECJ’s decision in “Dansommer”.Although the decision of the Federal Supreme Court facilitates access to extensive legal protection for German tenants of vacation houses based abroad, it is arguable whether the interpretation of the term tenancy is in line with the adjudication of the ECJ.

The first-stage juveniles of Xiphinema cretense and X. herakliense are described for the first time. The species X. israeliae, X. cretense, X. herakliense and Longidorus pseudoelongatus, previously recorded exclusively from olives in Crete, are herein reported in the rhizosphere of grapevines. Also L. iranicus is reported for the first time in cultivated olive, while X. italiae and L. closelongatus are reported for the first time in wild olive in Crete. Data on the occurrence of phytoparasitic nematode species in cultivated olives, wild olives and grapevines are updated with those previously published.
Insights into K-Ras 4B regulation by post-translational lysine acetylation
Authors: Knyphausen Philipp , Lang Franziska , Baldus Linda , Extra Antje , Lammers Michael 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Ras is a molecular switch cycling between an active, GTP-bound and an inactive, GDP-bound state. Mutations in Ras, mostly affecting the off-switch, are found in many human tumours. Recently, it has been shown that K-Ras 4B is targeted by lysine acetylation at K104. Based on results obtained for an acetylation mimetic Ras mutant (K104Q), it was hypothesised that K104-acetylation might interfere with its oncogenicity by impairing SOS-catalysed guanine-nucleotide exchange. We prepared site-specifically K104-acetylated K-Ras 4B and the corresponding oncogenic mutant protein G12V using the genetic-code expansion concept. We found that SOS-catalysed nucleotide exchange, also of allosterically activated SOS, was neither affected by acetylation of K104 in wildtype K-Ras 4B nor in the G12V mutant, suggesting that glutamine is a poor mimetic for acetylation at this site. In vitro, the lysine-acetyltransferases CBP and p300 were able to acetylate both, wildtype and G12V K-Ras 4B. In addition to K104 we identified further acetylation sites in K-Ras 4B, including K147, within the important G5/SAK-motif. However, the intrinsic and the SOS-catalysed nucleotide exchange was not affected by K147-acetylation of K-Ras 4B. Finally, we show that Sirt2 and HDAC6 do neither deacetylate K-Ras 4B if acetylated at K104 nor if acetylated at K147 in vitro.
Human 20S proteasome activity towards fluorogenic peptides of various chain lengths
Authors: Rut Wioletta , Drag Marcin 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The proteasome is a multicatalytic protease responsible for the degradation of misfolded proteins. We have synthesized fluorogenic substrates in which the peptide chain was systematically elongated from two to six amino acids and evaluated the effect of peptide length on all three catalytic activities of human 20S proteasome. In the cases of five- and six-membered peptides, we have also synthesized libraries of fluorogenic substrates. Kinetic analysis revealed that six-amino-acid substrates are significantly better for chymotrypsin-like and caspase-like activity than shorter peptidic substrates. In the case of trypsin-like activity, a five-amino-acid substrate was optimal.
Effectiveness of a modified dialectical behaviour therapy for adolescents within a stepped-care model
Authors: Khalid-Khan Sarosh , Segal Shira C. , Jopling Ellen N. , Southmayd Kathy , Marchand Patricia 
Published: July 2016

Abstract

Objective:
Early intervention with evidence-based treatment is important to halt the progression from early manifestations of personality disorder traits to adult personality disorders. The purpose of this study is to evaluate dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) modified for an adolescent population with borderline personality disorder (BPD), offered within a stepped-care model.

Methods:
Seven adolescents (M=1, F=6, Mage=16.86) diagnosed with either BPD or BPD traits participated in a modified 15-week DBT group. The group was offered within a stepped-care model, which required participants to have previously completed an 8-week distress-tolerance module. Pre/post scores on self-report measures of BPD symptomatology, including impulse control, emotional regulation and awareness, anxiety, depression, and substance use, were collected.

Results:
Participants showed a post-treatment decrease in anxiety symptoms (large effect size) and disruptive behaviours (medium effect size). There was also an increase in emotional symptoms (medium effect size) and hyperactivity/inattention (medium effect size).

Conclusion:
The modified DBT group shows promise in alleviating symptoms of anxiety and some of the disruptive behaviours associated with BPD. The increase in emotional symptoms may be due to the expressive nature of DBT, and may contribute to their eventual therapeutic processing in the next step of the program.
Ontogenesis of the Dative Case in the Light of Natural Morphology and Cognitive Linguistics
Authors: Kesselová Jana 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In the framework of the natural morphology (The types of homomorphism; J. Dolník, 2005) and cognitive linguistics (the dative case as the grammatical exponent of the target person’s role; E. Dąbrowska, 1997), the paper deals with the dative case in early speech development (during the first 3 years of child’s life). The study presents the results of the research into grammatical forms, case meanings and pragmatic functions. The key question is this: which dative case structures children acquire preferentially? The research is based on the combination of qualitative (audiovisual recordings of three children, coding of transcripts) and quantitative (1065 parental assessments) methods. The research leads to conclusions on three levels: (a) The form: grammatical forms of the dative case with segmental and defective homomorphism are typical for preferentially acquired forms. (b) The semantics: dative of benefit and dative of direction can be interpreted as case meanings that create the core of the dative case’s early semantics. (c) The pragmatics: children use the dative case preferentially in utterances with pragmatic function: con-situational information, disagreement, answer, will and challenge. It means that the dative case is primarily used in the developmentally oldest functions. The research broadens the understanding of speech ontogenesis and contributes to language explanation that is compatible with the process of its acquisition.
Status of Precedent Units in the System of Intertextual Means of Contemporary Ukrainian Media Discourse
Authors: Sakharuk Inna V. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The article is devoted to the determination of the status of precedent units (precedent names and expressions) in the system of intertextual means of contemporary Ukrainian media discourse. There was analyzed the phenomenon of intertextuality in the broad and narrow senses; the functions of precedent units that realize the main media discourse purpose of informing and influence were revealed.
The analysis of the essence of precedence in linguistics gives grounds to distinguish three types of precedent phenomena: precedent texts, situations and personalities, as well as two types of precedent units: precedent names and expressions. The connection of precedent units and related concepts – winged words, aphorisms and idioms – was established.
Based on a comparative analysis of the views of European and American scholars on the phenomena of intertextuality and precedence in linguistics there were singled out the means of direct and indirect appeal to prototext, which enroll the quotations and references, as well as the precedent units and allusions respectively.
Perspectives of the Language Policy of the EU
Authors: Lejsková Alena 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In the territory of Europe, a unique political, economic and linguistic formation that does not have any analogy in the world has come into being. The principal problem which the member states of European Union will face in future is the problem of communication, i.e. the language policy of EU. Its basic principle is the multilingualism embedded in the initial documents of the EU. The practical implementation of multilingualism within the EU institutions and its bodies is a real problem that must be resolved with each subsequent expansion of the EU, though this actually depends on the position of languages within the EU itself. The opinions of the EU citizens show their approving the standpoint of European language policy focused on multilingualism. The possible differences of opinions concern with the financial flows in the language market, as well as the dynamics of the position of individual languages within the Union. Foreign language teaching as a part of EU language policy is by its citizens considered crucial for two aspects – the mutual understanding between the citizens and states of the Union and the better assertion in the labour market.
Thrombus Aspiration, from “Heart to Soul”

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Microvascular obstruction (MVO) is one of the most frequent complications encountered during primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The embolization of thrombotic material seems to be the leading cause of MVO, and many clinical trials have demonstrated that thrombus aspiration (TA) may be a useful means of preventing this phenomenon. Continuous advancements in technology have contributed to the development of various devices for thrombus aspiration. However, a review of the literature indicates that there is disagreement regarding the role of TA in the prevention and treatment of MVO. TA is increasingly used in the treatment of acute stroke in patients who are admitted to the hospital within eight hours from the onset of symptoms. This review presents the current knowledge regarding the role of TA in the prevention of MVO.
