Abstract
Despite the fact that wind erosion seriously affects the sustainable use of land in large part of the world and even though in Slovakia there is not that big percentage of agricultural land influence by wind erosion it still has an effect on the soil. Valid wind erosion model that predicts wind-blown mass transport on regional scale is lacking. The objective of this research was to compare two empiric methods to determine wind erosion. One of them is deflametric method, in which we capture soil units in one hour during wind erosion events. Second method we used was volumetric method where we calculate amount of eroded soil behind the wind barrier. With deflametric method we determined that actual wind speed needed to lift and carry soil unites is 9 - 10 m.s-1. With volumetric calculation we found out that our measurement is 1.7 times higher than in WEQ model. We can say that models can portray certain areas and soil types, but only field measurement can provide precise amount of eroded soil on particular land.
PODPOVRCHOVÝ PRIESKUM HISTORICKÉHO PARKU V SANTOVKE / UNDERGROUND EXPLORATION OF HISTORICAL PARK IN SANTOVKA
Authors: Kubišta Richard 
Published: January 2014

Abstract
The paper is a part of the park reconstruction project. Following the historical information of a formal promenade existence in the park composition from the 19th century, there was a need to confirm this assumption. Non-invasive measuring with georadar X3M equipped with 500 MHz shielded antenna from Swedish company MALA was selected as a method. As much as 12 measurements were made, crossing the park in different directions- either parallel or perpendicular to the main axis of the park - as the promenade was parallel with the main axis. Afterwards, the measurement results were processed by Rad Explorer 1.41 and GroundVision 2 software. The visual interpretation of radargrams showed root crowns of trees, probable placement of the promenade and, of course, engineering infrastructure (water pipes); however, the exact identification of all elements has to be proven by invasive methods.
Challenging the EU’s Economic Roles? The Impact of the Eurozone Crisis on EU Images in China
Authors: Lai Suet-Yi , Zhang Li 
Published: January 2014

Abstract
Since the outbreak of the 2008/2009 global financial crisis, the economic balance between the traditional developed economies and the emerging ones has changed drastically, including that between the European Union and China. While the EU and its Member States are preoccupied by the eurozone debt crisis, stagnant economic growth and high domestic unemployment, China raised as the world’s second largest economy and one of the quickest growing consumer market. This paper explores the change in perception of the EU as an economic actor in the eyes of Chinese mainstream news media and national elites under such context. It argues that the strategic partnership could improve only if the two sides understand the mutual perception clearly. It is found that China has increased its leverage for bargaining vis-à-vis the EU as well as the capacity to give some help to the EU. Although the image of the EU as an economic powerhouse has been slightly weakened, it did not turn the heavily trade-oriented EU-China relations more comprehensive.
Communicating the European Union to Australia: The EU Information Strategy and Its Reception Down Under
Authors: Polonska-Kimunguyi Eva , Kimunguyi Patrick 
Published: January 2014

Abstract
The European Union (EU) has become an important global actor in numerous areas. It is an economic giant, a key actor in global trade and trade negotiations. It leads talks on environment and it is the biggest provider of assistance to the developing world. It is the largest contributor to the United Nations budget and its peacekeeping missions are present in all major conflicts.
With such prominent global presence, it would seem that when the EU speaks, the world listens. This paper assesses whether new public communicative spaces are emerging between the European Union and the rest of the world, including Australia. It first argues that supranational developments in the EU have encouraged an important shift in which international political communication is no longer equated with the boundaries of the nation state. It goes on to illustrate how the emergent Euro-polity is developing an important strategy for communication not only with its own Member States and their citizens but also with the world. To test how the new communication environment is received outside the EU, encounters of the Australian media with the European Union are analysed. The results tend to confirm the European Union’s existing fears of being largely unheard.
The influence of camouflage and prey type on predatory decisions of jumping spider
Authors: Bartos Maciej 
Published: January 2014

Decisions made by predators during predatory encounters are often based on multiple factors that may influence the outcome of the encounters. For stalking predators their visibility to the prey and the ability of their prey to escape may be important factors influencing predatory success. Hence they are likely to adapt their predatory behavior when approaching prey on backgrounds with different camouflaging properties, but only if the prey is able to escape. To test whether jumping spiders flexibly adapt their predatory behavior to camouflaging properties of the background and prey type, the behavior of Yllenus arenarius (Araneae, Salticide), a cryptically colored jumping spider hunting leafhoppers (high escape potential) and caterpillars (low escape potential) on two types of background: matching and non-matching for the spiders was analyzed. Background color had a significant effect on the spiders’ jumping distance and their predatory success, but only if the prey had a high escape potential. No differences occurred between backgrounds if the prey could not escape. On camouflaging background the spiders attacked leafhoppers from a shorter distance and had a higher success than on non-camouflaging background.
Formalization of the Advanced Encryption Standard. Part I
Authors: Arai Kenichi , Okazaki Hiroyuki 
Published: January 2014

Summary
In this article, we formalize the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES, which is the most widely used symmetric cryptosystem in the world, is a block cipher that was selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as an official Federal Information Processing Standard for the United States in 2001 [12]. AES is the successor to DES [13], which was formerly the most widely used symmetric cryptosystem in the world. We formalize the AES algorithm according to [12]. We then verify the correctness of the formalized algorithm that the ciphertext encoded by the AES algorithm can be decoded uniquely by the same key. Please note the following points about this formalization: the AES round process is composed of the SubBytes, ShiftRows, MixColumns, and AddRoundKey transformations (see [12]). In this formalization, the SubBytes and MixColumns transformations are given as permutations, because it is necessary to treat the finite field GF(28) for those transformations. The formalization of AES that considers the finite field GF(28) is formalized by the future article.

Introduction to Formal Preference Spaces
Authors: Niewiadomska Eliza , Grabowski Adam 
Published: January 2014

Summary
In the article the formal characterization of preference spaces [1] is given. As the preference relation is one of the very basic notions of mathematical economics [9], it prepares some ground for a more thorough formalization of consumer theory (although some work has already been done - see [17]). There was an attempt to formalize similar results in Mizar, but this work seems still unfinished [18].
There are many approaches to preferences in literature. We modelled them in a rather illustrative way (similar structures were considered in [8]): either the consumer (strictly) prefers an alternative, or they are of equal interest; he/she could also have no opinion of the choice. Then our structures are based on three relations on the (arbitrary, not necessarily finite) set of alternatives. The completeness property can however also be modelled, although we rather follow [2] which is more general [12]. Additionally we assume all three relations are disjoint and their set-theoretic union gives a whole universe of alternatives.
We constructed some positive and negative examples of preference structures; the main aim of the article however is to give the characterization of consumer preference structures in terms of a binary relation, called characteristic relation [10], and to show the way the corresponding structure can be obtained only using this relation. Finally, we show the connection between tournament and total spaces and usual properties of the ordering relations.
Sociopolitical representation of workers in Luxembourg and in the Greater Region
Authors: Clément Franz 
Published: January 2014

The article aims to define what is meant by "sociopolitical representation" and shows how, in a country like Luxembourg, many crossborder workers have become a mainstay of the labor market alongside resident workers. The text then focuses on institutional opportunities offered to workers to ensure their sociopolitical representation in Luxembourg. The article also tries to show how this form of representation can be achieved in the Chambre des salariés, labor unions, and other institutions of the Greater Region. Spanish

Assessing the significance of borders and territoriality in a globalized Europe
Authors: Castan Pinos Jaume 
Published: January 2014

During the 1990s a deterritorialization emerged, a "borderless world" trend that tended to dismiss borders as increasingly irrelevant to the human experience. Thus, the idea that borders were becoming increasingly fuzzy became popular in political discourse, particularly in Europe. This article challenges this vision, which, despite losing importance in academic circles, has now been reproduced in popular culture, arguing that borders have not been removed and that territoriality still plays a crucial role at the beginning of the 21st century. This claim will be justified with evidence stemming from different policies, dynamics, and discourses. By analyzing the importance of territoriality from three different angles (policy, territorial disputes, and discourses), the article aims to demonstrate that borders and their "barrier" function are likely to continue being significant in the foreseeable future. Spanish
Durante la década de 1990 surgió una tendencia de de-territorialización, o "mundo sin fronteras", que pretendía descartar las fronteras como algo cada vez más irrelevante para la experiencia humana. Así, se hizo popular en el discurso político la idea de que las fronteras eran cada vez más borrosas, particularmente en Europa. Este artículo cuestiona esta visión que, a pesar de perder importancia en círculos académicos, ha sobrevivido en la cultura popular, argumentando que las fronteras no están desapareciendo y que la territorialidad sigue desempeñando un papel crucial a principios del siglo XXI. Dicho argumento será justificado con evidencias procedentes de diferentes políticas, dinámicas y discursos. Mediante el análisis de la importancia de las fronteras desde tres ángulos distintos (políticas de securitización, disputas territoriales y discursos), el artículo pretende demostrar que las fronteras y su función de barrera, probablemente continuaran siendo importantes en el futuro previsible. French
Au cours des années 1990, émerge une certaine tendance à la déterritorialisation et à l'aspiration d'un «monde sans frontières», fondée sur le rejet des frontières que l'on jugeait incompatibles avec l'expérience humaine. Ainsi, l'idée selon laquelle les frontières devenaient de plus en plus floues s'est popularisée dans le discours politique, en particulier en Europe. Cet article remet en question cette vision qui, bien qu'ayant perdu de son importance dans la sphère académique a été reproduite dans la culture populaire, en faisant valoir l'idée que les frontières n'ont pas été dissoutes et que la territorialité joue encore un rôle crucial au début du 21e siècle. Cette affirmation sera soutenue par des preuves provenant de différentes politiques, dynamiques et discours. En analysant l'importance de la territorialité sous les trois angles différents que sont la politique, les querelles territoriales et les discours, l'article vise à démontrer que les frontières, dans leur fonction «barrière», continueront à jouer un rôle significatif dans l'avenir.
Protecting the anaesthetised brain
Authors: Abraham Mary 
Published: January 2014

AbstractThe anaesthetized brain is vulnerable to ischaemic insults, which could result in neurological deficits ranging from neuropsychological disturbances to stroke and even death. The risk of perioperative brain injury is relatively high in cardiac, neurosurgical and major vascular surgery, although it has also rarely been reported in noncardiac nonneurosurgical operations. Besides underlying risk factors such as cerebrovascular disease, advanced age, and cardiovascular disease, anaesthesia and surgery per se could also be a contributory factor. The anaesthesiologist plays a pivotal role in protecting the anaesthetized brain, both by taking preventive measures and instituting brain protection strategies. Despite advances and breakthroughs in pharmacological neuroprotection in the laboratory, currently there is no drug, anaesthetic or non-anaesthetic, which is available for clinical use. The anaesthesiologist has to rely on non-pharmacological modalities and neuromonitoring to prevent intraoperative brain injury
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma with intracranial extension – A review of 29 cases
Authors: Jain Varun , Dube Surya , Mahajan Charu , Prabhakar Hemanshu 
Published: January 2014

Abstract
Background: Complete resection has been the preferred treatment for extracranial juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNA) but resection of JNA with intracranial extension (ICE) can be quite challenging because of the associated risk of extensive haemorrhage. The aim of this study was to assess the neurological outcome of patients undergoing surgery for removal of JNA with ICE and analyse various perioperative anaesthetic factors that could possibly affect the outcome. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted including patients with JNA with ICE requiring combined otolaryngological and neurosurgical approach for tumour removal at our centre from January 2001 to December 2010. Patient's medical and anaesthesia records were reviewed and data regarding patient demography, pre-operative investigations, anaesthetic management, post-operative investigations and complications, number of days of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at the time of discharge from hospital were collected and reviewed. Results: A total of 29 patients were operated. The median age of presentation was 15 years. Nineteen patients (65.5%) had a good GOS of 5 at discharge, 7 (24.1%) had moderate outcome with GOS of 4 and 3 patients (10.3%) had poor outcome with GOS of ≤3. There was one mortality in our study. Perioperative factors affecting the GOS at discharge were amount of intra-operative blood loss, intra-operative infusion of packed red blood cells (RBCs) and colloid and post-operative haemoglobin. Conclusion: The outcome of patients with JNA is affected by intra-operative blood loss and transfusion.
Invited review: KPZ. Recent developments via a variational formulation
Authors: Wio Horacio S. , Deza Roberto R. , Escudero Carlos , Revelli Jorge A. 
Published: January 2014

Recently, a variational approach has been introduced for the paradigmatic Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. Here we review that approach, together with the functional Taylor expansion that the KPZ nonequilibrium potential (NEP) admits. Such expansion becomes naturally truncated at third order, giving rise to a nonlinear stochastic partial differential equation to be regarded as a gradient-flow counterpart to the KPZ equation. A dynamic renormalization group analysis at one-loop order of this new mesoscopic model yields the KPZ scaling relation $\alpha + z = 2$, as a consequence of the exact cancelation of the different contributions to vertex renormalization. This result is quite remarkable, considering the lower degree of symmetry of this equation, which is in particular not Galilean invariant. In addition, this scheme is exploited to inquire about the dynamical behavior of the KPZ equation through a path-integral approach. Each of these aspects offers novel points of view and sheds light on particular aspects of the dynamics of the KPZ equation. Received: 25 June 2013, Accepted: 10 December 2013; Reviewed by: F.

MULTIAXIAL STRAIN ENERGY FUNCTIONS OF RUBBERLIKE MATERIALS: AN EXPLICIT APPROACH BASED ON POLYNOMIAL INTERPOLATION
Authors: Wang Xiao-Ming , Li Hao , Yin Zheng-Nan , Xiao Heng 
Published: January 2014

ABSTRACTWe propose an explicit approach to obtaining multiaxial strain energy functions for incompressible, isotropic rubberlike materials undergoing large deformations. Via polynomial interpolation, we first obtain two one-dimensional strain energy functions separately from uniaxial data and shear data, and then, from these two, we obtain a multiaxial strain energy function by means of direct procedures based on well-designed logarithmic invariants. This multiaxial strain energy function exactly fits any given data from four benchmark tests, including uniaxial and equibiaxial extension, simple shear, plane–strain extension, and so forth. Furthermore, its predictions for biaxial stretch tests provide good accord with test data. The proposed approach is explicit in a sense without involving the usual procedures both in deriving forms of the multiaxial strain energy function and in estimating a number of unknown parameters.
Police « globalisée » et déploiements canadiens dans les opérations de paix1
Authors: Tanner2 Samuel 
Published: January 2014

Les opérations internationales de paix ont vu ces dernières décennies une augmentation marquée de contingents policiers, mieux connus sous le nom d’UNPOL. Cette police « globalisée » a pour mission de contribuer à la consolidation de la paix, au renforcement des capacités des acteurs locaux et de ce fait, à la stabilisation de régions post-crise. Cet article, basé sur une série d’entrevues menées avec des policiers canadiens déployés dans la Mission des Nations Unies pour la stabilisation en Haïti (MINUSTAH), s’intéresse à ce qu’implique « faire la police » dans une mission internationale de paix pour les policiers de première ligne, tant d’un point de vue organisationnel qu’opérationnel. Cette approche microsociologique permet de montrer à quel point les opérations de paix de cette nature sont largement tributaires des interactions telles qu’elles se déploient localement entre les principaux protagonistes de la consolidation de la paix.
Les forces de l’ordre, expertes des climats urbains
Authors: Boullier1 Dominique , Chevrier Stéphane 
Published: January 2014

Les grands événements urbains nécessitent la production d’environnements sécurisés qui vont permettre de vivre le climat de la fête, de la manifestation ou du match (les terrains qui seront évoqués ici) dans un intérieur protégé. Les forces de l’ordre ont acquis une expertise dans le pilotage de ces climats, qui repose non pas sur des plans mais sur une acceptation d’être « à l’intérieur », elles aussi, et non en surplomb. Elles mobilisent alors toutes les ressources du cadre bâti et le complètent par leur propre disposition pour créer des enveloppes, et elles utilisent aussi les ressources de leurs corps pour garder les sens en éveil pour une situation toujours susceptible de déborder.
Gérer les risques dans l’entreprise vulnérable. Une comparaison franco-québécoise
Authors: Ocqueteau1 Frédéric , Dupont Benoît 
Published: January 2014

Cet article est un essai de comparaison des résultats de deux enquêtes initialement conduites sans concertation à Paris et à Montréal sur un objet identique : la gestion de la sécurité-sûreté en entreprise à partir d’entretiens auprès de risk managers confrontés à des vulnérabilités, risques et menaces très diversifiés. L’approche française interroge plutôt compétences et rôles de ces agents d’encadrement à partir des cursus professionnels (privés, policiers, militaires) tandis que l’approche québécoise interroge plutôt la maîtrise et les effets de leurs réseaux relationnels. Le comparatif s’établit à partir des illustrations de deux régimes de sécurité : dans les structures hospitalières confrontées à des violences de plus en plus menaçantes et dans les aéroports vus comme des infrastructures critiques d’importance vitale. Une meilleure connaissance de l’identité de ces professionnels dédiés permet une approche plus juste de la pluralité des modalités du policing dans nos sociétés, une clé de lecture plus heureuse que celle du paradigme de la privatisation de la sécurité, dont la valeur heuristique est devenue moins crédible.
