‘Thrilled with Chilly Horror’: A Formulaic Pattern in Gothic Fiction
Authors: Aguirre Manuel 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This article is part of a body of research into the conventions which govern the composition of Gothic texts. Gothic fiction resorts to formulas or formula-like constructions, but whereas in writers such as Ann Radcliffe this practice is apt to be masked by stylistic devices, it enjoys a more naked display in the–in our modern eyes–less ‘canonical’ Gothics, and it is in these that we may profitably begin an analysis. The novel selected was Peter Teuthold’s The Necromancer (1794)–a very free translation of K. F. Kahlert’s Der Geisterbanner (1792) and one of the seven Gothic novels mentioned in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey.
There is currently no literature on the topic of formulaic language in Gothic prose fiction. The article resorts to a modified understanding of the term ‘collocation’ as used in lexicography and corpus linguistics to identify the significant co-occurrence of two or more words in proximity. It also draws on insights from the Theory of Oral-Formulaic Composition, in particular as concerns the use of the term ‘formula’ in traditional epic poetry, though again some modifications are required by the nature of Teuthold’s text. The article differentiates between formula as a set of words which appear in invariant or near-invariant collocation more than once, and a formulaic pattern, a rather more complex, open system of collocations involving lexical and other fields. The article isolates a formulaic pattern—that gravitating around the node-word ‘horror’, a key word for the entire Gothic genre –, defines its component elements and structure within the book, and analyses its thematic importance. Key to this analysis are the concepts of overpatterning, ritualization, equivalence and visibility.
Comparative Analysis of Return of Serve as Counter-attack in Modern Tennis
Authors: Mergheş Petru Eugen , Simion Beatris , Nagel Adrian 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
High performance modern tennis is characterised by high dynamism, speed in thinking and action, precision and high technical and tactical skills. In this study, we used direct observation and statistical recording of nine matches during two competition years in the tennis players Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi. In these tennis players, we studied mainly the return of serve, one of the most important shots in tennis, together with serve, as first shots in a point. We have chosen the three tennis players because they are the best example of return of serve as shown by the matches recorded and interpreted. The study we have carried out shows that return of serve makes Agassi a winner in most matches. The high percentage in Federer’s serves makes his adversaries have a lower percentage in return of serve, which prevents them to win against his serve. High percentage in return of serve results in more points on the adversary’s serve and an opportunity to start the offensive point. After comparing the three tennis players mentioned above, we can see that the highest percentage of points won on return of serve belongs to Agassi, which ranks him among the best return of serve tennis players in the world. The tennis player with the highest percentage in return of service is the one who wins the match, which shows, once again, the importance of the return of serve. Return of serve can be a strong counter-attack weapon if used at its highest level.
Current Rehabilitation Applications for Shoulder Ultrasound Imaging
Authors: Bailey Lane B. , Beattie Paul F. , Shanley Ellen , Seitz Amee L. , Thigpen Charles A. 
Published: January 2015

Synopsis The available body of knowledge on shoulder ultrasound imaging has grown considerably within the past decade, and physical therapists are among the many health care professions currently exploring the potential clinical integration of this imaging technology and the knowledge derived from it. Therefore, the primary purpose of this commentary was to review the recent evidence and emerging uses of ultrasound imaging for the clinical evaluation of shoulder disorders. This includes a detailed description of common measurement techniques along with their known clinimetric properties. Specifically provided are critical appraisals of the existing measures used to estimate soft tissue and bony morphometry, muscle contractile states, and lean muscle density. These appraisals are intended to help clinicians clarify the scope of physical therapy practice for which these measurement techniques are effectively utilized and to highlight areas in need of further development.

Règlement alternatif des conflits et tribunaux de district au Ghana
Authors: Crook Richard 
Published: January 2015

Depuis 2005, les tribunaux de district du Ghana proposent aux parties qu’oppose un litige un service de règlement alternatif des conflits par voie de médiation. Dans quelle mesure ce mode de règlement alternatif soutenu par l’État a-t-il réussi à offrir une justice à la fois plus rapide et plus accessible que les juridictions formelles et conformes aux valeurs et aux attentes de la population ? Une étude a montré que le programme est réellement accessible et répond effectivement au souhait populaire d’un processus équilibré de recherche de la vérité débouchant sur des accords exécutoires. Les institutions étatiques ont joué un rôle crucial d’« hybrides pragmatiques » en alliant l’autorité, le soutien organisationnel et les compétences professionnelles de médiation nécessaires à un tel programme à une sensibilité aux valeurs et aux attentes populaires. Néanmoins, l’efficacité de ce système n’est pas parfaitement à la hauteur des attentes des réformateurs du Service judiciaire et de ses partenaires de développement.

Published: January 2015

À partir des raisons qui justifièrent et des circonstances qui entourèrent l’instauration de la commission « Vérité, justice et réconciliation » (CVJR) du Togo, il est judicieux de se poser un certain nombre de questions autour de la composition d’une telle commission « Vérité », de sa présidence, de la perception qu’en a l’opinion publique, du rôle de « premier acteur » des victimes, etc. Il est utile, également, à partir des recommandations formulées par la CVJR du Togo, de mener des réflexions quant aux conditions de leur mise en œuvre. Entretien avec le professeur Koffi Ahadzi-Nonou, premier rapporteur de la commission, entre 2009 et 2012.
Context-dependent interplay between Hippo and JNK pathway in Drosophila
Authors: Ma Xianjue 
Published: January 2015

AbstractBoth Hippo and JNK signaling have well-established roles in regulating many physiological processes, including cell proliferation, growth, survival, and migration. An increasing body of evidence shows that dysregulation of either Hippo or JNK pathway would lead to tumorigenesis. Recently, studies in Drosophila has coupled Hippo with JNK pathway in numerous ways ranging from tissue regeneration to growth control. In this review, I provide an overview of the current understanding of crosstalk between Hippo and JNK pathway in Drosophila, and discuss their context-dependent interactions in gut homeostasis, regeneration, cell competition and migration.
On Two-faced Families of Non-commutative Random Variables
Authors: Charlesworth Ian , Nelson Brent , Skoufranis Paul 
Published: January 2015

AbstractWe demonstrate that the notions of bi-free independence and combinatorial-bi-free independence of two-faced families are equivalent using a diagrammatic view of bi-non-crossing partitions. These diagrams produce an operator model on a Fock space suitable for representing any two-faced family of non-commutative random variables. Furthermore, using a Kreweras complement on bi-non-crossing partitions we establish the expected formulas for the multiplicative convolution of a bi-free pair of two-faced families.
Pindola in Korea and Japan: Is the Wandering Jew Coming from East Asia?
Authors: MECSI Beatrix 
Published: January 2015

The legend of the Wandering Jew became very popular, especially from the 17th century Western Europe. The story of punishment by eternal life until the next coming of Jesus Christ has parallels with the Buddhist legend of Pindola Bharadvaja, a disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha who was also punished by eternal life until the coming of the Future Buddha, Maitreya. The similarities were dealt with the Japanese polymath, Minakata Kumagusu (1899) and Walter Edwards (1902) in the turn of the 20th century, claiming that the story of the Wandering Jew was influenced by the Asian legends of Pindola. In this paper I show that even if we do not have convincing evidences for proving any historical connections between these legends, the myth of eternal life as a punishment is an interesting idea, which appears in many traditions, forming layers on the existing and ever-growing traditions of myths and pictorial representations.
Criminal thinking styles of minors. Social and personality correlates
Authors: Rode Magdalena 
Published: January 2015

<b>Background</b><br />
This paper presents an attempt to determine the predictors of criminal thinking styles of minors, based on the theory of Glenn Walters. The construct which is the subject of this study, that is, criminal thinking, is treated as a factor that initiates and supports anti-social behaviour. It manifests itself in eight thinking styles (patterns): mollification, cut-off, entitlement, sentimentality, power orientation, cognitive indolence, discontinuity, and superoptimism.<br />
<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
The study involved 114 people: 65 boys and 49 girls. The research group consisted of minors – boys and girls who were referred, by order of the court, to Diagnostic and Consultation Family Centres to receive a psychological opinion, the purpose of which was to determine the degree of demoralisation of the minor. The study was also attended by the guardians of minors. A criterion for including a minor in this study was committing an offence.<br />
<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
For each criminal thinking style, a forward stepwise regression analysis was conducted. Variables describing minors and mothers were included in the regression model. The aim of this approach is to identify the configuration of predictors of criminal thinking styles. In each of the models the coefficient of determination, R2, and  coefficients were calculated.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusions</b><br />
The predictors of criminal thinking styles identified by the regression analysis show the complexity and heterogeneity of factors contributing to the emergence of these cognitive distortions. Predictors include both properties conditioning the psychosocial functioning of mothers and factors determining the personality of a minor (sense of control, low empathy, low self-esteem). There is a noticeable influence of factors attributable to the mothers – variables derived from the environment (demanding, rejecting, inconsistent attitude).
Psychological determinants of portfolio workers’ satisfaction with life
Authors: Lipińska-Grobelny Agnieszka 
Published: January 2015

<b>Background</b><br />
The objective of the study was to evaluate which psychological variables are determinants of the level of satisfaction with life in the case of workers employed in more than one workplace, called portfolio workers. In the research, the transactional model of satisfaction with life by A. Zalewska, and also the model of multiwork by A. Lipińska-Grobelny, were referred to.<br />
<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
Two hundred and eighteen portfolio workers and 218 monoworkers participated in the research. The studied individuals completed a self-made survey. The following techniques were also applied: the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS); the Rokeach Value Survey (RVS); the Formal Characteristics of Behaviour – Temperament Questionnaire (FCZ-KT); the Masculinity and Femininity Scale (SMiK); the Organisation Climate Questionnaire (KKO); and the Marital Communication Questionnaire (KKM).<br />
<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
The results indicate that satisfaction with life in the case of portfolio workers is determined by personal characteristics (ascribing a greater significance to the sphere of ‘achievements’, a higher level of activity), demands at work (exercising flextime control, a positive assessment of the system of rewards in a workplace), and demands in the family (a low level of depreciation in the relationship). In turn, a high level of satisfaction with life in the case of workers employed in a single workplace depends on: ascribing lower significance to the sphere of ‘achievements’ and to the values of ‘pleasure’ and ‘talented’, attaching major importance to the values of ‘loving’, a positive assessment of the system of rewards in a workplace, the number of children and a low level of depreciation in the relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusions</b><br />
The data referred to above constitute an important source of information about the ways of strengthening the cognitive dimension of satisfaction with life in the case of workers, with particular attention being paid to portfolio workers.
Pain-related and performance anxiety and their contribution to pain in music students: a pilot study
Authors: Lamontagne Valérie , Bélanger Claude 
Published: January 2015

<b>Background</b><br />
Pain complaints are common among musicians, whose occupation is highly demanding on both a physical and a psychological level. The purpose of the present study was to better understand the severity of musculoskeletal pain in orchestra musicians by measuring the potential contributions of biological (medical diagnosis), psychosocial (age, gender, instrument, practice and exercising history, and occupational satisfaction), and psychological (pain-related anxiety, performance anxiety, and affect) variables.<br />
<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
Data were collected from 59 music students playing in a symphonic orchestra. Univariate analyses were performed to assess differences in biological, psychosocial, and psychological predictors, using the presence or absence of pain as the dependent variable. Regression analyses were performed to develop a model of variance to explain the severity of pain.<br />
<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
The results revealed lower occupational satisfaction to be associated with the presence of pain. However, a greater proportion of variance (31%) in pain severity was explained by pain-related anxiety combined with performance anxiety. Thus, the model that would best explain playing-related pain in musicians would need to focus mainly on psychological variables, namely pain-related and performance anxiety.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusions</b><br />
Further investigation is needed to determine how treatment of musculoskeletal pain in musicians should address these psychological variables.

Published: January 2015

<i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>, bakteria Gram-ujemna o kształcie krętka, przenoszona na ludzi przez kleszcze, stanowi czynnik etiologiczny boreliozy (choroby z Lyme). Obraz kliniczny boreliozy jest bardzo zróżnicowany, a w jej przebiegu wyróżnia się kilka patomorfologicznych rodzajów zmian skórnych, takich jak zapalne, zanikowe i sklerotyczne. Badania naukowe w ostatnich dwudziestu latach wskazują na możliwy związek twardziny miejscowej i liszaja zanikowego z zakażeniem <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>. Wykazano, że istnieje kliniczne podobieństwo późnej zmiany skórnej w przebiegu boreliozy, tj. przewlekłego zanikowego zapalenia skóry, do liszaja zanikowego i <i>morphea</i>. Dowodu na udział tej bakterii w etiopatogenezie twardziny miejscowej dostarczają wyniki badań, które wykazały cofanie się zmian skórnych po zastosowaniu celowanej antybiotykoterapii. Rola zakażenia <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> w złożonym patomechanizmie twardziny układowej jest wciąż kontrowersyjna. W artykule omówiono wyniki badań nad udziałem zakażenia Borrelia w etiopatogenezie twardziny i w wybranych chorobach dermatologicznych oraz różne objawy skórne spotykane w boreliozie.
The Sjögren’s syndrome – an interdisciplinary problem viewed by a dentist
Authors: Barczyk Agata , Foryś Sebastian 
Published: January 2015

Zespół Sjögrena jest powszechnie znaną jednostką chorobową o przewlekłym przebiegu, dla której nie opracowano jeszcze skutecznej terapii. W 90% przypadków chorobę tę rozpoznaje się u kobiet, zwykle w okresie okołomenopauzalnym. Dotyczy ona wielu układów i narządów i dlatego stanowi przedmiot zainteresowania lekarzy wielu specjalności. Wyróżnia się pierwotny i wtórny zespół Sjögrena, w których dominującymi objawami są suchość jamy ustnej oraz suchość spojówki i rogówki. W artykule omówiono objawy zespołu Sjögrena ze strony jamy ustnej – dotyczące błony śluzowej jamy ustnej, warg, języka, dziąseł, zębów i przyzębia. Scharakteryzowano leczenie i postępowanie profilaktyczne stosowane w gabinecie stomatologicznym u pacjentów z zespołem Sjögrena. Uwzględniono elementy stylu życia mające wpływ na przebieg choroby oraz zalecenia dotyczące farmakoterapii, których celem jest uniknięcie nasilenia objawów.
The Royal Road to Time: How Understanding of the Evolution of Time in the Brain Addresses Memory, Dreaming, Flow, and Other Psychological Phenomena
Authors: HANCOCK PETER A. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractIt has been claimed that dreams are the royal road to the unconscious mind. The present work argues that dreams and associated brain states such as memory, attention, flow, and perhaps even consciousness itself arise from diverse conflicts over control of time in the brain. Dreams are the brain’s offline efforts to distill projections of the future, while memory represents the vestiges of the past successes and survived failures of those and other conscious projections. Memory thus acts to inform and improve the prediction of possible future states through the use of conscious prospects (planning) and unconscious prospective memory (dreams). When successful, these prospects result in states of flow for conscious planning and déjà vu for its unconscious comparator. In consequence, and contrary to normal expectation, memory is overwhelmingly oriented to deal with the future. Consciousness is the comparable process operating in the present moment. Thus past, present, and future are homeomorphic with the parts of memory (episodic and autobiographical) that recall a personal past, consciousness, and the differing dimensions of prospective memory to plan for future circumstances, respectively. Dreaming (i.e., unconscious prospective memory), has the luxury to run multiple “what if” simulations of many possible futures, essentially offline. I explicate these propositions and their relations to allied constructs such as déjà vu and flow. More generally, I propose that what appear to us as a range of normal psychological experiences are actually manifestations of an ongoing pathological battle for control within the brain. The landscape of this conflict is time. I suggest that there are at least 3 general systems bidding for this control, and in the process of evolution, each system has individually conferred a sequentially increasing survival advantage, but only at the expense of a still incomplete functional integration. Through juxtaposition of these respective brain systems, I endeavor to resolve some fundamental paradoxes and conundrums expressed in the basic psychological and behavioral processes of sleep, consciousness, and memory.

Studying the Existence and Attributes of Consensus on Psychological Concepts by a Cognitive Psychometric Model

Published: January 2015

Abstract
Psychological research can take a variety of directions while building on theoretical concepts that are commonly shared among the population of researchers. We investigate the question of how agreement or consensus on basic scientific concepts can be measured. Our approach to the problem is based on a state-of-the-art cognitive psychometric technique, implemented in the theoretical framework of cultural consensus theory. With this approach, consensus-based answers for questions exploring shared knowledge can be derived while basic factors of the human decision-making process are accounted for. An example of the approach is provided by examining the definition of behavior, based on responses from researchers and students. We conclude that the consensus definition of behavior is “a response by the whole individual to external or internal stimulus, influenced by the internal processes of the individual, and is typically not a developmental change.” The general goal of the article is to demonstrate the utility of a cultural consensus theory–based approach as a method for investigating what current, working definitions of scientific concepts are.

ÖzetMikro hava araçlarının (MHA) tasarımı ve pratikteki uygulamaları için yapılan çalışmalar, düşük Reynolds sayılı akışlarıdaki araştırmaların önemini arttırmıştır. Su canlıları, kuşlar ve böceklerin etrafındaki akışlardan biyolojik esinlenme ile yaratılabilen itki kuvveti, bu tür hareket mekanizmalarının havacılıkta kullanılabilecek tahrik sistemlerinin uygulama olanakları açısından gittikçe artan şekilde ilgi çekmektedir. Çırpan kanatlar, halihazırda kullanılmakta olan sabit ve döner kanatlı küçük-boyutlu hava araçlarının performansını arttırmada gelecek vaad etmektedir.Daha önce, SD7003 profiline sahip, çift taraftan sonlandırılarak iki boyutlu incelemeye tabii tutulmuş, yunuslama ve ötelenme yapan bir çırpan kanatta, değişik hareket parametrelerinde oluşan vorteks yapıları sınıflandırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada ise vorteks yapılarına dayanarak niteliksel olarak itki veya sürükleme oluşturduğu belirlenen hareketlerde, dört değişik kanat profiline sahip model (SD7003, NACA0012, t/c=0.05 yuvarlak kenarlı ve t/c=0.05 keskin kenarlı düz levhalar) için üç boyutlu durumda (AR=4) kuvvet ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Çalışma deneysel olarak su kanalında 2,000 < Re < 15,000 arası değerlerde, DPIV (Digital Particle Image Velocimetry – Dijital Parçacık Görüntüleyerek Hız Belirleme) sistemi ve kuvvet/moment duyargası kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Niceliksel akım görüntüleme sonuçları kanat açıklığı boyunca üç değişik düzlemde elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar çırpan kanadın yakın iz bölgesinde oluşan vorteks yapıları ile kanada etkiyen kuvvet değerleri arasındaki ilişkiyi zamana bağlı olarak ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca çalışmada, sonlu kanat için değişik kanat profilleri kullanımının vorteks oluşumları ile itki/sürükleme elde edilmesinde oluşturduğu farklılıklar incelenmiştir.
