From Worked-out Practice to Justified Norms by Producing a Reflective Equilibrium
Authors: Hahn Susanne 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Reflective equilibrium is a proposal to justify general norms (not only moral norms) by adjusting them to a pre-systematic practice. The paper investigates the method of constructing a reflective equilibrium as a method for ‘disappointed connoisseurs’ with regard to alternative ways of justification. The example of no-smoking norms that have emerged within the last twenty years serves several purposes: It is used to illustrate under which conditions requests for justification arise and to investigate which role a worked-out practice can play in the justification of general norms. Additionally, the construction of a reflective equilibrium with respect to a no-smoking norm shows the necessity of implementing systematic considerations in the process of justification. The paper closes with some remarks concerning the characteristic quality of justification one can achieve by the method of reflective equilibrium.

Determining the level of physical activity estimated by the Canada Fitness Survey questionnaire using criteria of the International
Physical Activity Questionnaire
Authors: Kostencka Alicja , Pastuszak Anna , Buśko Krzysztof 
Published: November 2016

Summary
Study aim: The aim of the study was to determine the weekly energy expenditure measuring MET/min/week based on data collected through the Canada Fitness Survey (CFS), according to the classification used in the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and to verify the adopted method to assess the level of physical activity in students of physical education.

Material and methods: The study involved 116 female students (21.1 ± 1.6) and 276 male students (21.2 ± 1.7), studying Physical Education at Kazimierz Wielki University. Physical activity (PA) of respondents assessed using the Canada Fitness Survey was converted to energy expenditure in MET/min/week using the criteria established in the IPAQ. Body composition was assessed according to bioelectrical impedance.

Results: A significantly smaller fat fraction was observed in the group of students with high physical activity (PA) (p < 0.01). In women, there was a significant relation between FAT% and all analysed characteristics of physical activity: total physical activity (TPA) – 0.274, vigorous intensity (VI) – 0.216, number of days spent on physical activity (DTPA) – 0.199 and number of days spent on vigorous intensity (DVI) – 0.202 (p < 0.05). In men, a significant relation was found between all the analysed tissue components and the adopted variables of PA (FAT% vs. TPA – 0.145, VI – 0.203, DTPA – 0.187; FATkg vs. TPA – 0.123, VI – 0.186, DTPA – 0.178; FATkg vs. DVI – 0.131). BMI significantly correlated with VI (–0.162) and DVI (–0.140), p < 0.05.

Conclusions: Based on data collected using the CFS on the type and frequency of PA during a week, we can determine the level of activity in a measurable way, using the IPAQ classification. There is a significant relationship between thus determined physical activity levels and body composition in both women and men, which proves the accuracy of the adopted method of converting weekly energy expenditure to MET/min/week.
The dualizing sheaf on first-order deformations of toric surface singularities
Authors: Altmann Klaus , Kollár János 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
We explicitly describe infinitesimal deformations of cyclic quotient
singularities that satisfy one of the deformation conditions introduced by
Wahl, Kollár–Shepherd-Barron (KSB) and Viehweg. The conclusion is that in many
cases these three notions are different from each other. In particular, we see that
while the KSB and the Viehweg versions of the moduli space of surfaces of
general type have the same underlying reduced subscheme, their
infinitesimal structures are different.
Heavy Metal Removal in a Detention Basin for
Road Runoff
Authors: Belizario Paulo , Scalize Paulo , Albuquerque Antonio 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Road runoff produced during rainfalls has significant
pollutant load, which can cause important environmental
impacts on waste and soil. The efficiency of a detention
basin for removing heavy metals (Cr, Cu and Zn) in
road runoffwas evaluated for 8 rainfalls over one year with
different intensities (between 16mmand 103 mm) and durations
(higher than 3 hours). The basin showed good performance
for removing all metals for precipitation intensities
between 16mmand 103mmand rainfall durations up
to 3 hours. The volume of the basin is suitable for retaining
all the road runoff coming from rainfalls with intensities
lower than 29.4mmand duration longer than 6 hours. This
type of monitoring should be introduced in Environmental
Monitoring Plans of roads because it allows evaluating the
effectiveness of treatment systems and preventing the possible
impacts of discharges into the environment.
System thinking shaping innovation ecosystems
Authors: Abreu António , Urze Paula 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Over the last few decades, there has been a trend
to build innovation platforms as enablers for groups of
companies to jointly develop new products and services.
As a result, the notion of co-innovation is getting wider
acceptance. However, a critical issue that is still open, despite
some efforts in this area, is the lack of tools and models
that explain the synergies created in a co-innovation
process.

In this context, the present paper aims at discussing the
advantages of applying a system thinking approach to understand
the mechanisms associated with co-innovation
processes. Finally, based on experimental results from a
Portuguese co-innovation network, a discussion on the
benefits, challenges and difficulties found are presented
and discussed.

Published: November 2016

Abstract
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber fabric, polyvinylidene fluoride/polyethylene glycol (PVDF/PEG) nanofiber fabric and polyvinylidene fluoride/polyethylene glycol/silicon dioxide (PVDF/PEG/SiO2) nanofiber fabrics are fabricated through a combination of electrospinning and weaving technology, inspired by the “lotus effect”. Nanofiber surfaces with a hierarchical nanofiber structure in the PVDF/PEG and PVDF/PEG/SiO2 nanofiber fabrics are formed by hydrolyzing PEG and doping with SiO2 nanoparticles, which is similar to the surface structure of a lotus leaf. The structures of these three fabrics are characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the mechanical properties and wettability are analyzed. The results show that the fiber structure of the PVDF/PEG composite nanofiber doped with SiO2 nanoparticles after water scrubbing is composed of many balls, which are formed by the embedding of the SiO2 nanoparticles in the polymer. Moreover, the “ball” is not only similar to the “hill” of a lotus leaf surface, but also similar to the “small thorn” on the “hill” because of the embossment of SiO2 nanoparticles on the “ball” surface. The ultimate tensile strength and failure strain of the PVDF/PEG/SiO2 nanofiber fabric are 92.12 MPa and 18.98%, respectively. The PVDF/PEG/SiO2 nanofiber fabric exhibits superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 173.2°.

The Vicchio Stele and Its Context
Authors: Warden P. Gregory 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThe recent discovery of an inscribed stele in the foundations of the Late Archaic temple at the sanctuary of Poggio Colla (Vicchio, FI) sheds new light on the nature of cult at the site. The stele is one of the longest Etruscan sacred texts and is from a secure archaeological context. It is also the earliest extant non-funerary sacred text (excluding simple votive inscriptions). The object, currently undergoing conservation, promises to provide new evidence for Etruscan ritual, literacy, and language.

Premature failure of utility poles in Switzerland and Germany related to wood decay basidiomycetes
Authors: Ribera Javier , Schubert Mark , Fink Siegfried , Cartabia Marco , Schwarze Francis W.M.R. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
In contact with soil, copper (Cu) formulations as preservatives are expected to inhibit wood decay by fungi and other soil-borne microorganisms. However, Cu-resistant brown-rot (BR) fungi lead to premature failures of utility poles at some sites. In this study, the service lives of 111 utility poles of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) (73 from Switzerland and 38 from Germany) impregnated with Cu-based wood preservatives were investigated. Three segments of each utility pole were analyzed. The severity of decay was dependent on the preservative formulation. BR fungi and in particular Antrodia species were predominantly isolated from utility poles that were not treated with a co-biocide, e.g. boron (B). Cu-sensitivity of several isolated BR fungi was confirmed in studies on Cu-amended medium and in Cu-treated wood. Isolates of Fibroporia vaillantii and Serpula himantioides showed a higher Cu-tolerance than the highly Cu-tolerant Empa isolate Rhodonia placenta (Empa 45) or Antrodia serialis.
La naturaleza ilustrada en “La felicidad de la vida del campo” de Tomás de Iriarte
Authors: Matzat Wolfgang 
Published: November 2016

ResumenLa égloga “La felicidad de la vida del campo” de Tomás de Iriarte, escrita en 1779, constituye un interesante ejemplo de la poesía bucólica del siglo XVIII. Motivado por una convocatoria de la Real Academia Española, Iriarte opta en su texto, al contrario de su rival Meléndez Valdés que se limita a una renovación estética, por una adaptación rigurosa del género de la égloga al contexto ideológico de la Ilustración. No obstante, en cuanto a la representación de la naturaleza, el texto de Iriarte provoca una impresión heterogénea. La cita, en parte crítica, de los tópicos de la bucólica tradicional, centrados en el

Abstract

Background:
Synthetic drugs are going to be replaced by plant-derived traditional drugs due to their cost effectiveness, relatively less harmfulness, and efficacy against multidrug resistance organisms. Hygrophila spinosa (Acanthaceae) has been used in a wide range of ailments including flatulence, diarrhea, dysentery, gonorrhea, and menorrhagia. Therefore, we investigated the cytotoxic, antinociceptive, and antidiarrheal effects of H. spinosa ethanol extract (EExHs).

Methods:
Preliminary phytochemical screening was accomplished by established methods modified in experimental protocol. EExHs was undertaken for cytotoxic assay by Brine shrimp lethality bioassay, antinociceptive action by acetic acid induced writhing test, and antidiarrheal activity by castor oil induced antidiarrheal test. Data were analyzed by GraphPad Prism 6.0 software using Dunnett’s test for multiple comparisons.

Results:
Reducing sugar, steroid, glycoside, tannin, alkaloid, saponins, and flavonoids were found to be present in EExHs. Lethal concentration (LC50) of EExHs for brine shrimps was 50.59 µg/mL which was relatively lower than that of the standard drug vincristine sulfate. In acetic acid induced writhing test, oral administration of EExHs at three different doses (125, 250, and 500 mg/kg) decreased writhing in dose-dependent manner while the highest dose (500 mg/kg) achieved the maximum percentages of pain inhibition (58.8%). Diclofenac sodium (25 mg/kg) was used as a reference antinociceptive drug. The antidiarrheal action of EExHs was not found to be very promising for further use; however, the pure compounds from EExHs could be analyzed to justify the effects.

Conclusions:
This research demonstrates that the secondary metabolites guided cytotoxic and analgesic effects could be extensively studied in multiple models to confirm the effects.
Rethinking Crisis Communications on Campus: An Evaluation of Faculty and Staff Perceptions about Emergency Notification Systems
Authors: Elsass H. Jaymi , McKenna Joseph M. , Schildkraut Jaclyn 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The use of emergency notification systems on college and university campuses nationwide have been a focus since the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech. In the aftermath, many of these institutions sought to install new emergency notification systems, or overhaul existing systems, to alert students in the event a similar incident took place on their campus. Researchers also began to focus on these systems by exploring their implementation and effectiveness; despite such advances in the literature, however, a noticeable gap persists. Specifically, much of the research focuses on the technology rather than the users themselves. Conducted at a large southwestern university, the present study sought to narrow this void by examining the perceptions and employment of the system by a key group of users – faculty and staff members – who often are considered the first line of defense in emergencies on campus. The findings not only highlight the continued need for multimodal notification systems, but also better education and training with relation to their use to increase user engagement and improve overall operations. Limitations of the study, directions for future research, and related policy implications for universities also are discussed.

Teaching Jessica: race, religion, and gender inThe Merchant of Venice
Authors: Sicher Efraim 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThe Jew’s “fair daughter” in Shakespeare’s playThe Merchant of Veniceconverts and marries a Christian, Lorenzo. Recent attention, however, to changing ideas of race and identity in the early modern period has brought into question the divisions of Christian/Jew/Moor. Can Jessica convert and no longer be considered the Jew’s daughter? As “gentle” and “fair” is she to be considered gentile and in no way dark (spiritually or racially)? Jessica’s conversion has apparently little religious meaning, but rather she is saved from the Jew her father by marriage to Lorenzo, who becomes Shylock’s heir. Is Jessica’s conversion to be considered a matter of convenience that might, as Launcelot quips, raise the price of hogs, or is it also to be counted as an ideological and racial conversion that reveals underlying anxieties about gender, sexuality, and religious identity? This essay attempts to argue against the grain of the performance history ofThe Merchant History, which often downplays the role of Jessica or revises the text of the play, and returns to the text in order to contextualize the conversion of Jessica in contemporary discourses of gender, race, and religion in England’s expansionist colonialism and proto-capitalist commerce. The conversion of Jessica can be seen in that context as an exchange of monetary and ethical value, in which women’s sexuality also had a price-tag. These questions have implications for the teaching of the play and for the understanding of its concerns with unstable sexual, religious, and national identities.
