Los spots de perfumes televisados y su música en la campaña navideña 2016-2017
Authors: Van-Zummeren-Moreno Guillermo , Haro-Almansa Rosario 
Published: December 2017

El rol de la música en la publicidad audiovisual ha sido controvertido. Pese a que existe consenso en cuanto a su empleo como herramienta, comúnmente se le considera como un elemento útil pero prescindible. Ello explica la escasez bibliográfica tanto en cantidad como en extensión. Sin embargo, en la actualidad la publicidad recurre usualmente a estrategias y técnicas publicitarias basadas en la argumentación emocional, campo en el que la música puede tener un papel mucho más importante. Además, otra de las cualidades positivas de la música en el ámbito de la publicidad es la capacidad de segmentación del público objetivo. Durante el transcurso de esta investigación se esclarecerá el estatus de la música en los espacios publicitarios televisados de perfumes en la campaña navideña 2016-2017 mediante análisis de contenido. Para ello se ha seleccionado una muestra de 37 anuncios de perfumes que responderá ampliamente a las cuestiones musicales principales de cada spot (forma musical, origen, género, instrumentación, tempo o tonalidad); demostrando la importancia del uso musical en este tipo de campañas, y más concretamente la tendencia al empleo de músicas preexistentes, vocales y dirigidas a la mujer.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
We studied the distribution of dense gas in a filamentary molecular cloud containing several dense clumps. The center of the filament is given by the dense clump WB673. The clumps are high-mass and intermediate-mass starforming regions. We observed CS (2-1), 13CO (1-0), C18O(1-0), and methanol lines at 96 GHz toward WB673 with the Onsala Space Observatory 20-m telescope. We found CS (2-1) emission in the inter-clump medium so the clumps are physically connected and the whole cloud is indeed a filament. Its total mass is 104 M⊙ and mass-to-length ratio is 360M⊙ pc−1 from 13CO (1-0) data. Mass-to-length ratio for the dense gas is 3.4 − 34M⊙ pc−1 from CS (2-1) data. The PV-diagram of the filament is V-shaped. We estimated physical conditions in the molecular gas using methanol lines. Location of the filament on the sky between extended shells suggests that it could be a good example to test theoretical models of formation of the filaments via multiple compression of interstellar gas by supersonic waves.
Expanding known dinoflagellate distributions: investigations of slurry cultures from Caspian Sea sediment
Authors: Lewis Jane , Taylor Joe D. , Neale Klaire , Leroy Suzanne A.G. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractTo investigate the disparity between plankton and cyst records, sediment slurry cultures were used to isolate the motile stage of dinoflagellates from Caspian Sea sediment. This has resulted in new records for this area ofKryptoperidinium foliaceum,Gymnodinium aureolumandWoloszynskiasp. and for the cyst record,Scrippsiella acuminata. TwoGonyaulaxspecies were isolated, one was identified asGonyaulax balticaand the other an unknown species. Cultures ofLingulodinium polyedrawere also isolated. The approach of using slurries was useful to provide cultures from sediments that were relatively poor in dinoflagellate cysts with contents.
Rule-out of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction by five point of care cardiac troponin assays according to the 0 h/3 h algorithm of the European Society of Cardiology
Authors: Suh Durie , Keller Dagmar I. , Hof Danielle , von Eckardstein Arnold , Gawinecka Joanna 
Published: December 2017

Abstract

Background:
Point of care (POC) assays for cardiac troponins I or T (cTnI or cTnT) may accelerate the diagnosis of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, their clinical utility according to the 0 h/3 h algorithm recommended by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) for non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is unknown.

Methods:
Blood samples from 90 patients with suspected ACS were obtained at hospital admission and 3 h later. Concentrations of cTn were determined using five POC assays (AQT90 FLEX cTnI and cTnT; PATHFAST™ cTnI; Stratus CS 200 cTnI; and Triage MeterPro cTnI) and two guideline-acceptable high-sensitivity (hs) immunoassays.

Results:
For the diagnosis of NSTEMI (n=15), AUCs for Abbott hs-cTnI and Roche hs-cTnT were 0.86 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.75–0.96] and 0.88 (95% CI, 0.80–0.95), respectively, at admission, and 0.96 and 0.94, respectively, 3 h later. With the 99th percentile cutoff, their sensitivities were 62% and 92%, respectively, at admission, and 77% and 100%, respectively, 3 h later. The PATHFAST™ cTnI assay showed AUCs of 0.90 (95% CI, 0.82–0.97) and 0.94 (95% CI, 0.89–1.00), respectively, and sensitivities of 67% and 75% at admission and 3 h later, respectively. The other cTn POC assays had AUCs of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.53–0.89) to 0.84 (95% CI, 0.71–0.96) and 0.86 (95% CI, 0.72–0.99) to 0.87 (95% CI, 0.75–0.99) and sensitivities of 39%–50% and 62%–77% at admission and 3 h later, respectively.

Conclusions:
PATHFAST™ cTnI assay proved itself as comparable to ESC-guideline acceptable hs-cTn assays. The lower sensitivity of the other POC assays limits their clinical utility and would require longer follow-up monitoring of patients for the safe NSTEMI rule-out.
Cultural and Linguistic Translation of the Self: A Case Study of Multicultural Identity Based on Eva Hoffman’s Lost in Translation
Authors: Frittella Francesca Maria 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The present article explores the profound impact of intercultural contact on identity, a topic that is gaining in relevance as multicultural experiences become increasingly common in globalised societies. The focus of the investigation is on the impact of culture and language upon the process of migrant identity (re) building in interaction with the new environment. Theory is applied to the analysis of Eva Hoffman’s memoir Lost in Translation-A Life in a New Language (1998), which offers a profound insight into these complex dynamics. In the first section, intercultural contact is investigated as a bidirectional translation process with both a disruptive and a reinforcing influence on individual identity, as shown through the concepts of hybridity and triangulation. The first section also highlights the points of contact between self-translation and interlingual translation to enhance understanding of their shared challenges. The second section focuses on the interconnection between language and migrant identity and argues that L2 proficiency may be regarded as the fundamental competence to accomplish successful self-translation. The depth of this impact is shown at multiple levels of identity: personal, enacted and social.
Cervantes, the Journey, and What it Tells Us About Becoming a Writer
Authors: Knight Lania 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The article traces the notion of empathy in fiction writing and how Cervantes’s treatment of characters in Don Quixote initiated a tradition which is ongoing in literature even today. The path of the writer is examined as a means for understanding how a writer must develop empathy for others, beginning with quotes from writers Helene Cixous and Henry James. Next, within the current political context of global upheaval and shift following on from the election of Donald Trump as president of the U.S.A. as well as the vote for Brexit in the U.K., the article argues for the relevance of Cervantes’s novel, not as a dated work of fiction, but as a text relevant both in form and in content for the modern political climate. Finally, the connection is made between fiction writers’ ability to feel empathy for others and create characters which readers will feel empathy for. The article follows on to proclaim the revolutionary and timely role of the fiction writer to help save us from ourselves in a tumultuous political landscape made unpredictable by social media-generated confirmation bias and insularity.

Universal locally finite maximally homogeneous semigroups and inverse semigroups
Authors: Dolinka Igor , Gray Robert D. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractIn 1959, Philip Hall introduced the locally finite group𝒰{\mathcal{U}}, today known as Hall’s universal group. This group is countable, universal, simple, and any two finite isomorphic subgroups are conjugate in𝒰{\mathcal{U}}. It can explicitly be described as a direct limit of finite symmetric groups. It is homogeneous in the model-theoretic sense since it is the Fraïssé limit of the class of all finite groups. Since its introduction Hall’s group and several natural generalisations have been studied widely. In this article we use a generalisation of Fraïssé’s theory to construct a countable, universal, locally finite semigroup𝒯{\mathcal{T}}, that arises as a direct limit of finite full transformation semigroups, and has the highest possible degree of homogeneity. We prove that it is unique up to isomorphism among semigroups satisfying these properties. We prove an analogous result for inverse semigroups, constructing a maximally homogeneous universal locally finite inverse semigroupℐ{\mathcal{I}}which is a direct limit of finite symmetric inverse semigroups (semigroups of partial bijections). The semigroups𝒯{\mathcal{T}}andℐ{\mathcal{I}}are the natural counterparts of Hall’s universal group for semigroups and inverse semigroups, respectively. While these semigroups are not homogeneous, they still exhibit a great deal of symmetry. We study the structural features of these semigroups and locate several well-known homogeneous structures within them, such as the countable generic semilattice, the countable random bipartite graph, and Hall’s group itself.
Comparison of anticancer effect of Pleurotus ostreatus extract with doxorubicin hydrochloride alone and plus thermotherapy on erythroleukemia cell line
Authors: Ebrahimi Alireza , Atashi Amir , Soleimani Masoud , Mashhadikhan Maedeh , barahimi Ahmadreza , Kaviani Saeid 
Published: December 2017

Abstract

Background
Recent studies have introduced Pleurotus ostreatus (Pleurotaceae) as a herbal medicine for treating different types of cancer. This survey utilizes P. ostreatus and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) alone and then with hyperthermia to investigate the erythroleukemia cell line. This study evaluates and compares the apoptotic and necrotic effects of various treatments on the KG-1 cell line.

Methods
The proliferation of KG-1 cells was measured by using a tetrazolium salt (MTT)-based colorimetric assay during 96 h after treatment by gradient dilutions of 100 ng/mL to 100 mg/mL of P. ostreatus methanol extract and then the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined and was applied in additional experiments. Afterward, the cells were treated using P. ostreatus extract, DOX (6.95 mg/L), and hyperthermia (42 and 44 °C), separately and then applying hyperthermia. Finally, the ratios of apoptosis and necrosis after 24 h incubation were evaluated by using flow cytometry.

Results
The MIC of the extract was determined (1 mg/mL), which significantly increased the ratio of apoptosis rather than necrosis, whereas the DOX treatment primarily induced necrosis on the KG-1 cells. The anticancer effects of the mushroom extract were significantly increased when it was combined with thermotherapy, which exhibited apoptotic effects at 42 °C but induced necrosis at 44 °C.

Conclusions
The results suggest that P. ostreatus extract induces apoptosis on KG-1 cells and its anticancer effects are significantly increased in combination with thermotherapy. Therefore, P. ostreatus could be considered as an alternative with anticancer effect for further studies in erythroleukemia patients.
Birth-weight centiles and the risk of serious adverse neonatal outcomes at term
Authors: Yu Joanna , Flatley Christopher , Greer Ristan M. , Kumar Sailesh 
Published: December 2017

Abstract

Background:
Birth-weight is an important determinant of perinatal outcome with low birth-weight being a particular risk factor for adverse consequences.

Aim:
To investigate the impact of neonatal sex, mode of birth and gestational age at birth according to birth-weight centile on serious adverse neonatal outcomes in singleton term pregnancies.

Materials and methods:
This was a retrospective cohort study of singleton term births at the Mater Mother’s Hospital, Brisbane, Australia. Serious adverse neonatal outcome was defined as a composite of severe acidosis at birth (pH ≤7.0 and/or lactate ≥6 mmol/L and/or base excess ≤−12 mmol/L), Apgar <3 at 5 min, neonatal intensive-care unit admission and antepartum or neonatal death. The main exposure variable was birth-weight centile.

Results:
Of the 69,210 babies in our study, the overall proportion of serious adverse neonatal outcomes was 9.1% (6327/69,210). Overall, neonates in the <3rd birth-weight centile category had the highest adjusted odds ratio (OR) for serious adverse neonatal outcomes [OR 3.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.06–4.07], whilst those in the ≥97th centile group also had elevated odds (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.30–1.75). Regardless of birth modality, smaller babies in the <3rd centile group had the highest adjusted OR and predicted probability for serious adverse neonatal outcomes. When stratified by sex, male babies consistently demonstrated a higher predicted probability of serious adverse neonatal outcomes across all birth-weight centiles. The adjusted odds, when stratified by gestational age at birth, were the highest from 37+0 to 38+6 weeks in the <3rd centile group (OR 5.97, 95% CI 4.60–7.75).

Conclusions:
Low and high birth-weights are risk factors for serious adverse neonatal outcomes. The adjusted OR appears to be greatest for babies in the <3rd birth-weight centile group, although an elevated risk was also found in babies within the ≥97th centile category.
Morphological diversity of Sri Lankan traditional rice varieties “Pachchaperumal” and “Suduru samba”
Authors: Rathnathunga Elpitiya Udari Uvindhya , Geekiyanage Sudarshanee 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Sri Lankan traditional rice varieties consist of more than one accession mostly which, exhibit a wide variation in morphological characters, flowering time and yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diversity based on days to flowering (DF) and 12 morphological characters of two Sri Lankan traditional rice varieties Pachchaperumal and Suduru samba comprising of 13 and 7 accessions respectively. DF of Pachchaperumal and Suduru samba varied from 60 - 72 and 79 - 99 days respectively. Vegetative morphological characters and yield components also varied among Pachchaperumal and Suduru samba accessions while pericarp colour, grain width, and length were distinct characters between the two varieties. According to the hierarchical cluster analysis, 2 major clusters were identified at the rescale distance of 25 separating accessions of Pachchaperumal and Suduru samba except for accession 3136 of Pachchaperumal, which was located in Sudura samba cluster. Seven clusters were derived at rescaled distance of 5 where accessions of similar quantitative and qualitative morphological characters were clustered together. There were negative correlations between DF and selected yield components in contrast to positive correlations between DF and selected vegetative growth parameters. Our results may be useful in the determination of identity of accessions belonging to the same variety, which could be further supported by molecular analysis.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
D-π-A dyes have received a special attention in the field of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this kind of molecules, the acceptor group (A) generally acts as an anchor, enabling the adsorption of the dye onto the metal oxide substrate (TiO2) and providing a good electron injection. The search for new anchors represents a critical factor for the development of improved DSSCs and in recent years has been a very active research field. This mini-review focuses especially on our work on pyridine-derived anchoring groups for D-π-A dyes, with a special regard on the preparation and characterization of three different families of dyes and a critical evaluation of their stability and efficiency.
Determination of natural radiation levels and lifetime cancer risk in Kırıkkale, Turkey
Authors: Bingöldağ Nesli , Otansev Pelin 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the levels of background radiation in nine districts of Kırıkkale, Turkey. The outdoor gamma dose rate in the air was measured using a portable digital environmental radiation detector at 170 locations. The mean outdoor gamma dose rate in the air was determined as 121 nGy h−1 with a range between 23 and 320 nGy h−1. The annual effective dose for districts was between 0.04 and 0.59 mSv year−1 with a mean value of 0.23 mSv year−1. Excess lifetime cancer risk values for districts ranged from 0.14×10−3 to 2.07×10−3 with a mean of 0.80×10−3. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in 84 soil samples were determined using HPGe detector. The mean activity values (ranges) of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in soil samples were found to be 20.4 (4.9±3.0–53.0±0.8) Bq kg−1, 38.8 (3.7±0.2–163.5±1.8) Bq kg−1, 598.0 (108.5±70.2–1500.5±38.7) Bq kg−1 and 3.9 (0.2±0.1–11.9±0.7) Bq kg−1, respectively. The mean activity concentration of 232Th and 40K was higher than the world’s mean value. The mean radium equivalent activity was 119.76 Bq kg−1 which is lower than the recommended maximum value of 370 Bq kg−1. The mean external terrestrial gamma dose rate was found to be 56.71 nGy h−1. This mean value was lower than the world mean of 60 nGy h−1. The calculated external hazard value was 0.32 and within the acceptable limit which is less than unity (Hex≤1). The indoor radon concentration in 150 houses for the summer and winter seasons was determined using solid state nuclear track detector (CR-39). The mean indoor concentration for the summer season was found to be 63.27 Bq m−3 ranging from 14.0±1.5 to 288.0±21.9 Bq m−3. On the other hand, the mean indoor concentration in the winter season was found to be 86.94 Bq m−3 ranging from 17.0±4.5 to 484.0±26.9 Bq m−3. The present results showed that the radon activity concentrations in winter were 42.3% higher than in the summer. The mean annual effective dose equivalent and lifetime cancer risk were also calculated.
Optimization of thermal conductivity in composites loaded with the solid-solid phase-change materials
Authors: Mnasri Taoufik , Abbessi Adel , Ben Younes Rached , Mazioud Atef 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This work focuses on identifying the thermal conductivity of composites loaded with phase-change materials (PCMs). Three configurations are studied: (1) the PCMs are divided into identical spherical inclusions arranged in one plane, (2) the PCMs are inserted into the matrix as a plate on the level of the same plane of arrangement, and (3) the PCMs are divided into identical spherical inclusions arranged periodically in the whole matrix. The percentage PCM/matrix is fixed for all cases. A comparison among the various situations is made for the first time, thus providing a new idea on how to insert PCMs into composite matrices. The results show that the composite conductivity is the most important consideration in the first case, precisely when the arrangement plane is parallel with the flux and diagonal to the entry face. In the present work, we are interested in exploring the solid-solid PCMs. The PCM polyurethane and a wood matrix are particularly studied.

Abstract

Objective
Insects dwelled in soil play a key role in monitoring of metal contaminations. In order to explore the toxicity of lead (Pb) in soil, juvenile of oriental beetle Anomala corpulenta, were firstly applied to analyze effect of Pb.

Methods
In the current study, toxicity of different concentrations Pb on A. corpulenta in the laboratory was performed by measuring survival, growth and avoidance of animals. Meanwhile, activities of acetylcholinesterase (ChE), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in A. corpulenta were examined to quantify the extent of alterations caused by Pb treatments.

Result
Events of mortality were occurred in the Pb treated groups (1200 and 1600 mg Pb/kg soil). Administration of Pb treatments could result in a significant decrease of mean end weights in contrasted with that of control group. Treatment of Pb at 800 mg Pb/kg soil caused an obviously avoidance behavior. Expressions of ChE, SOD, CAT and GSH-Px of Pb treated groups were significant decreased compared with that of control group in the experiment observed.

Conclusion
Pb contamination of soil may cause multiple effects on juvenile A. corpulenta including occurrence of mortality, delay of growth and avoidance of contaminated environment.
Answer fragments
Authors: Osborne Timothy , Groß Thomas 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThis manuscript presents a dependency grammar (DG) theory of answer fragments. The ellipsis mechanism implicated in answer fragments is calledfragment ellipsis. The potential of a DG account based on thecatenaunit is probed, but found to be insufficient because it fails to account for certain cases involving in-situ focusing, e.g.Institutionalwhatis hindering progress? – Authority. Therefore, an alternative account is produced, one that identifies four constraints on answer fragments, two that pertain to the elided material and two that pertain to the remnants that survive ellipsis. These four constraints then predict the shape of answer fragments to a large extent.
