The Impact of the FLC Controller’s Settings on the Precision of the Positioning of a Payload Transferred by a Mobile Crane
Authors: Kłosiński Jacek , Janusz Jarosław , Nycz Rafał 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
The paper presents a model of a control system of the slewing motion of a mobile crane in which the FLC controller was used, and then selected results of the numerical simulations of this model were presented. The influence of this controller’s settings on the precision with which the payload is positioned after it has been transferred to a target point for different angles of rotation of the jib, different lengths of the rope and different input signals of the controller was investigated.
The Impact of the Support System’s Kinematic Structure on Selected Kinematic and Dynamic Quantities of an Experimental Crane
Authors: Trąbka Arkadiusz 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This paper presents a comparative analysis of two kinematic structures of the support system (with supports with bilateral and unilateral constraints), which were used in an experimental model of a crane. The computational model was developed by using the ADAMS software. The impact of the kinematic structure of the support system on selected kinematic and dynamic values that were recorded during the slewing motion was analysed. It was found, among other things, that an increased number of degrees of freedom of the support system leads to multiple distortions of time characteristics of kinematic and dynamic quantities.

Cost -Benefit Analysis of a Single-Unit System with Preventive Maintenance and Weibull Distribution for Failure and Repair Activities
Authors: Kumar Ashish , Saini Monika 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This paper deals with a reliability model developed for a single-unit system which goes for preventive maintenance after a pre-specific time ‘t’ up to which no failure occurs. There is a single server who takes some time to arrive at the system for doing repair activities. The unit does not work as new after repair at complete failure and so called the degraded unit. The degraded unit is replaced by new one after its failure with some replacement time. The failure time, preventive maintenance time, replacement time and repair time of the unit are taken as Weibull distributed with common shape parameter and different scale parameters. The switching devices are perfect. The system is observed at suitable regenerative epochs to obtain various measures of system effectiveness of interest to system designers and operation managers.
Petri nets properties related to the unboundness and analyzed using coverability multigraph
Authors: Hrúz Branislav , Ľuptáková Iveta Dirgová , Beňo Miroslav 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Petri nets represent a powerful tool for modeling the discrete event systems. The Petri net markings correspond to the system states. The infinity of the marking set means that the Petri net is unbounded and this may be the sign of an incorrect system model. In that case instead of the reachability set and the reachability graph the coverability set and the coverability multigraph can be used to represent the Petri net state space. A systematic way of building the notion of the coverability set and coverability multigraph based on the notion of the ω -marking is given in the paper. Algorithm for its construction is introduced. Then the use of the coverability multigraph for the analysis of several properties of the unbounded Petri nets is described.

Palliative Care as Response to Suffering at End of Life
Authors: Moşoiu Daniela 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Persons suffering from chronic and life limiting illnesses often have unrelieved symptoms such as pain, depression, fatigue, and psychosocial and spiritual distress. In Romania they are frequently left in the care of their families with little support from the health care system. It seems a paradox that those who are the sickest persons in a country find little place in the health care system. This article presents palliative care as a solution to the suffering for these patients and their families by describing the concept, models of services, its beneficiaries and benefits and presenting the history of development of hospice and palliative care worldwide and in Romania.
A life in need of “neither protection nor preservation”: Joseph Fletcher, Down’s syndrome and euthanasia
Authors: Sydow Rikard Friberg von 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Joseph Fletcher claims in his Christian situation ethic developed in the nineteen sixties that there is nothing wrong with the use of euthanasia on children born with Down’s syndrome. But is it possible to use his claim of non-persons as non-moral subjects in an ethic that claims not to be legalistic? This paper affirms that Fletcher’s claims are wrong, and that questions motivated by a lack of resources should be answered with a critical discussion regarding those resources. Not with an ethic that supports euthanasia.
The Historical-Critical Method and the Holy Fathers
Authors: Pricop Cosmin Daniel 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This study aims to capture the dynamics of the recent biblical studies in the Orthodox and Western, especially Protestant, theological areas. Both the Orthodox biblical theology and the Western biblical theology are streamlined by research, which can be inspired by each other´s experience. Thus, the Orthodox biblical studies are recently shaped in receiving and developing an exegetical method, and in this sense may appeal to the Western experience, especially the historical-critical method. On the other hand, the Western biblical scholars are concerned with bringing into the present the meaning of biblical texts or their update, in a direction close to the Orthodox biblical experience. The solution to these concerns can be rediscovered in the mutual completion with ecumenical connotations.
Gadamer’s Concept of Aesthetic Experience as a Possibility for the Orthodox Biblical Theology
Authors: Širka Zdenko Š 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This article finds its inspiration in the new interpretations of Gadamer’s hermeneutics, which underline the turn in his later period, and which focus on the conception of aesthetic experience as an experience of transcendence. The main thesis is that the understanding of artworks, as Gadamer describes them in contrast to the Kantian subjectification of aesthetics, can be paralleled with the way Orthodox biblical theology struggles to approach Holy Scripture in the context of Church and Tradition. The aim of this article is to bring new material to the growing reception of Gadamer among Orthodox scholars, and to initiate further discussion on the topic by showing the parallels and areas where this reception could continue.
The Creation Narratives in the Western and Greek-Orthodox Theology of the 20th Century
Authors: Palantza Alexandra 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
The Book of Genesis offers not only to Israel but also to its neighbors the reason for their existence1. In western theological thought, W. Eichrodt’s Theology of the Old Testament and Cl. Westermann’s Commentary on Genesis are two of the most important works, which are distinguished because of their method and the expression of their theological perspectives on the topic “creation narratives”. In contrast to Western theologians, Greek-Orthodox Theologians inherited their tradition of interpretation from the Church Fathers. Eastern Theology has seen the topic of interpreting the Bible as an unbreakable whole, containing God’s word and action for the salvation of humankind. Any differences between them are caused by another perspective and ecclesiastical tradition.
The Onomastic Data of the Fourteenth-Century Poll Tax Returns: A Case for Further Dialectological Study of Late Medieval English
Authors: Parkin D. Harry 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
An important source of localisable Middle English dialectological data has recently become widely accessible, thanks to the published transcription of the 1377, 1379 and 1381 poll tax re-turns by Carolyn C. Fenwick (1998, 2001, 2005). As the only collection of onomastic data from the late fourteenth century with national coverage, the name forms in the records can be analysed to further our understanding of Middle English dialect distribution and change. As with many historical records, the poll tax returns are not without damage and so do not cover the country in its entirety, but provided their investigation is carried out with suitable methodological caution, they are of considerable dialectological value. Using the poll tax data, the distributions of two dialect features particular to the West Midlands (specifically rounding of /a/ to /o/ before nasals and /u/ in unstressed positions) are presented and compared with the patterns given for the same features in Kristensson’s (1987) dialect survey of data from 1290-1350. By identifying apparent discrepancies in dialect distribution from these datasets, which represent periods of no more than 100 years apart, it seems that the spread of certain Middle English dialect features may have changed considerably over a short space of time. Other possible reasons for these distribution differences are also suggested, highlighting the difficulties in comparing dialect data from differ-ent sets of records. Through this paper a case for further dialectological study, using the poll tax returns, is made, to add to the literature on Middle English dialect distribution and to improve our knowledge of ME dialect phonologies at the end of the fourteenth century.
Uncovering the Secret: Medieval Women, Magic and the Other
Authors: Ludwikowska Joanna 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
For medieval audiences women occupied a specific, designated cultural area which, while they could freely form it according to their will and nature, was in fact imaginary and immaterial. Women in social, legal, and religious contexts were mostly counted among the receptive, inactive, and non-ruling groups. On both levels, there was a group of features universally defining all women: the strong, virtuous and independent model Aquinas lamented was replaced in real life by the sinful, carnal and weak stereotype, and the erotic, emotional, mysterious, and often wild type present predominantly in literature. Indeed, women were a source of scientific, theological, and cultural fascination because of their uncanny and complex nature, producing both fear and desire of the source and nature of the unattainable and inaccessible femininity. In social contexts, however, the enchantress seems to lose that veil of allure and, instead, is forced to re-define her identity by suppressing, denying, or losing her supernatural features. With the example of Saint Agnes from the South English Legendary Life
of
Saint
Agnes, and Melior from Partonope
of
Blois (ca. 1450), the article will explore how medieval texts dealt with the complex and unruly female supernatural, and how its neutralization and subduing fitted into the moral, scientific, and cultural norms of medieval society.
Analysis of specialist opinions about the problem of selection in the game of football for children 6-8 years of age
Authors: Brîndescu Sorin 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
The general trend worldwide is a pronounced decrease in the age at which sport performance begins. An early debut in the performance sport requires an early specialization and hence special efforts of the athlete, not just physical (the body has the ability to regenerate), but also of a mental nature. In this study I wanted to obtain the experts opinions on the main aspects of selection for the age studied, namely: selection criteria, methods of encouragement, stimulation and improvement, the overall state of the selection phenomenon organized for children of small age. Sports training professionals appreciate that the future belongs to technicians and athletes able to create new patterns, superior to those present, favoring the creation of highly efficient motor structures in order to obtain success in sports.

Published: January 2015

Synopsis Primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs effectively reduce ACL injury risk in the short term. Despite these programs, ACL injury incidence is still high, making it imperative to continue to improve current prevention strategies. A potential limitation of current ACL injury prevention training may be a deficit in the transfer of conscious, optimal movement strategies rehearsed during training sessions to automatic movements required for athletic activities and unanticipated events on the field. Instructional strategies with an internal focus of attention have traditionally been utilized, but may not be optimal for the acquisition of the control of complex motor skills required for sports. Conversely, external-focus instructional strategies may enhance skill acquisition more efficiently and increase the transfer of improved motor skills to sports activities. The current article will present insights gained from the motor-learning domain that may enhance neuromuscular training programs via improved skill development and increased retention and transfer to sports activities, which may reduce ACL injury incidence in the long term.

Published: January 2015

Study Design Qualitative study using interpretive description methodology. Objectives The purpose of this study was to better understand how ethical issues are experienced by university sports team athletic therapists and physical therapists. Background In clinical practice, sports teams are associated with a range of ethical issues. Issues commonly reported in the literature include confidentiality, return-to-play decisions, conflicts of interest, advertising, doping, and use of local anesthetic. To date, there has been limited examination of how athletic therapists and physical therapists involved with sports teams experience these ethical issues, and limited exploration of how these ethical issues, when encountered, are shaped by therapists' professional roles and responsibilities. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 athletic or physical therapists working with sports teams in 5 Canadian provinces. The data were analyzed inductively, using a recursive approach and constant comparative techniques. Results Four key themes were developed relating to the participants' experiences of ethical issues: establishing and maintaining professional boundaries, striving for respectful and effective collaboration, seeking answers to ethical concerns, and living with the repercussions of challenging decisions. Conclusion While many ethical issues reported by participants resemble those faced by sports medicine physicians, they are experienced in distinctive ways, due to differences in professional roles and identities. Issues concerning professional boundaries were also more prominent for the study participants than the literature has reported them to be for sports medicine physicians. Effective communication and enhanced collaboration appear to be key elements in managing these ethical challenges. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2015;45(3):198–206.

Study Design Secondary exploratory analysis of a randomized controlled trial comparing supervised exercise therapy to usual care in patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Objective To explore which patients with PFP are more likely to benefit from exercise therapy. Background Patellofemoral pain is a common condition for which exercise therapy is effective in reducing pain and improving function. However, not all patients benefit from exercise therapy. Methods The present study explored patient characteristics that might interact with treatment effects of PFP in 131 patients treated with usual care or exercise therapy. These characteristics were tested for interaction with treatment in a regression analysis. The primary outcomes were function and pain on activity at a 3-month follow-up. Results None of the tested variables had a significant interaction with treatment. A positive trend was seen for females with PFP: they were more likely to report higher function scores with exercise therapy than with usual care compared to males with PFP (β = 12.1; 95% confidence interval: 0.23, 24.0; P = .05). A positive trend was seen for patients with a longer duration of complaints (greater than 6 months); they were more likely to report higher function scores and to have less pain on activity with exercise therapy than with usual care compared to those with a shorter duration of complaints (β = 12.3; 95% confidence interval: −0.08, 24.7; P = .05 and β = −1.74; 95% confidence interval: −3.90, 0.43; P = .12, respectively). Conclusion Two factors, sex and duration of complaints, may have a predictive value for response to exercise therapy at 3-month follow-up. Due to the exploratory design of the study, future research should confirm this tendency. Level of Evidence Prognosis, level 2b. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2015;45(3):183–189.

Comparison of Cervical Spine Stiffness in Individuals With Chronic Nonspecific Neck Pain and Asymptomatic Individuals
Authors: Ingram Lewis A. , Snodgrass Suzanne J. , Rivett Darren A. 
Published: January 2015

Study Design Clinical measurement, cross-sectional. Objective To determine if spinal joint stiffness is different in individuals with nonspecific neck pain, and whether stiffness magnitude is associated with pain intensity and disability. Background Manual therapists commonly evaluate spinal joint stiffness in patients presenting with nonspecific neck pain. However, a relationship between stiffness and neck pain has not yet been demonstrated. Methods Spinal stiffness at C7 was objectively measured in participants with chronic nonspecific neck pain whose symptomatic spinal level was identified as C7 (n = 12) and in age- and sex-matched asymptomatic controls (n = 12). Stiffness (slope of the linear region of the force-displacement curve) was quantified using a device that applied 5 standardized mechanical force cycles to the C7 spinous process, while concurrently measuring displacement and resistance to movement. Stiffness was compared between groups using an independent t test. Spearman rho and Pearson r were used to determine the extent to which stiffness magnitude was associated with pain intensity (visual analog scale) and level of disability (Neck Disability Index), respectively, in the group with neck pain. Results Participants with nonspecific neck pain had greater spinal joint stiffness at C7 compared with asymptomatic individuals (mean difference, 1.78 N/mm; 95% confidence interval: 0.28, 3.27; P = .022). However, stiffness magnitude in the group with neck pain was not associated (P>.05) with pain intensity or level of disability. Conclusion These preliminary results suggest that cervical spine stiffness may be greater in the presence of nonspecific neck pain. However, judgments regarding pain intensity and level of disability should not be inferred from examinations of spinal joint stiffness. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2015;45(3):162–169.

Justices en mutation au Burundi
Authors: Matignon Émilie 
Published: January 2015

Loin de se cantonner à une dimension purement institutionnelle ou au seul processus de justice transitionnelle, la justice burundaise conjugue temps et modalités distincts, attestant ainsi de sa nature profondément hétéroclite et globale. Son exercice, son appropriation et sa légitimation par les acteurs qui l’élaborent et ceux pour qui elle est appliquée sont empreints d’hybridation et de rationalités concurrentes. Le pluralisme à la fois juridique et judiciaire de la transition offre ainsi un espace de réflexions et de pratiques variées autour de la justice, tel un « laboratoire » foisonnant, il enseigne sur ce qu’est la justice, ou du moins sur ses mutations en cours, mais également sur ce qu’elle pourrait être.
