Constraining an open-ended design task by interpreting sources of inspiration
Authors: Laamanen Tarja-Kaarina , Seitamaa-Hakkarainen Pirita 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
In the field of design, the challenge in the ideation process is determining how to balance between constraining a task and at the same time creating new paths for expression. The focus of this article is on students’ idea generation process during the module of their textile design learning in a higher-education programme. In the module, students completed an open-ended design assignment. The assignment encouraged reflective insights about individual and shared practices and emphasized material experimentation during the ideation process. The data were drawn from interviews, essays, diaries and observations of real-time processes. This article reports students’ ways of interpreting sources of inspiration, related constraining processes and students’ reflections.
African Grace in Central Australia: Community choirs, reconciliation and intercultural performance
Authors: Rickwood Julie 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
The ‘African Grace’ concert in May 2011 brought together the Grammy Award winning Soweto Gospel Choir from South Africa and a number of community choirs from Central Australia. After a week of encounter and exchange, the combined choirs performed a concert at the Araluen Centre in Alice Springs which presented a powerful statement of intercultural engagement and collaboration. This article explores the historical, cultural, social and musical circumstances in Central Australia that enabled this to occur. It provides a brief outline of the community music and reconciliation movements in Australia and the musical expression of reconciliation. The regional context and a descriptive analysis of African Grace and its contribution to the evolving nature of intercultural choral engagement in Central Australia are its focus. In conclusion, the article considers the potential to shift the conceptualization of intercultural engagement beyond the notion of reconciliation to one of relation.
Convergence of the inverse continuous wavelet transform in Wiener amalgam spaces
Authors: Weisz Ferenc 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
The inversion formula for the continuous wavelet transform is usually considered in the weak
sense. With the help of summability methods of Fourier transforms we obtain norm convergence and convergence at Lebesgue points of the inverse wavelet transform for functions from the Lp
and Wiener amalgam spaces.

Zusammenfassung
Die Interpretation des Konzepts von Industrie 4.0 ist vielschichtig und abhängig davon, ob aus der Sicht des Maschinen- oder
Anlagenbaus, von der IT Branche oder von der Automatisierungstechnik an das Thema herangegangen wird. Es ist jedoch klar zu erkennen,
dass die systemweit eindeutig definierte Semantik aller gemeinschaftlich genutzten Daten zwingend erforderlich ist. Ausgangspunkt der
Überlegungen ist eine Gruppierung von I40-Komponenten, welche die Eigentümer der Daten sind. Diese sind Bestandteile von
Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS), in denen sie Dienste anbieten, um zusammen mit IT-orientierten Diensten neue Wertschöpfungsketten zu
bilden. Alle Dienste und Dienstinhalte müssen dafür semantisch eindeutig definiert sein. Anhand von Produkt-, Prozess- und
Ressourcen-Modell (PPR-Modell) und dem Datenmodell der VDI/VDE 3682-Richtlinie wird beispielhaft dargestellt, wie die Informationen
über Industrie-4.0-Komponenten semantisch eindeutig beschrieben werden können. Es wird dargestellt wie diese Beschreibung auch für die
Daten der I40-Dienste verwendet werden kann. Dadurch steigt der Grad der Fähigkeit, semantisch eindeutige Daten maschinell zu
verarbeiten.

The Effect of Alcohol Consumption on Labor Market Outcomes of Young Adults: Evidence from Minimum Legal Drinking Age Laws
Authors: Yörük Ceren Ertan 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
This paper uses a regression discontinuity design to estimate the impact of the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) laws on alcohol consumption and labor market outcomes of young adults. Using confidential data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 Cohort (NLSY97), I find that granting legal access to alcohol at age 21 leads to an increase in several measures of alcohol consumption. The discrete jump in the alcohol consumption at the MLDA has also negative spillover effects on the labor market outcomes of young adults. In particular, I document that the MLDA is associated with a 1 hour decrease in weekly working hours. However, the effect of the MLDA laws on wages is negative only under certain specifications. These results suggest that the policies designed to curb drinking may not only have desirable effects in reducing alcohol consumption among young adults but also have positive spillover effects on their labor market outcomes.
Bacterial diversity and abundance of a creek valley
sites reflected soil pH and season
Authors: Sagova-Mareckova M. , Cermak L. , Omelka M. , Kyselkova M. , Kopecky J. 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
The effect of environmental factors on bacterial
and actinobacterial communities was assessed to predict
microbial community structure in natural gradients.
Bacterial and actinobacterial communities were studied
at four sites differing in vegetation and water regime:
creek sediment, wet meadow, dry meadow and deciduous
forest located in a shallow valley. The vegetation structure
was assessed by phytocoenological releves. T-RFLP and
quantitative PCR were used to determine community
composition and abundances. Significant relationships
between bacterial community structure and selected
soil traits at sites located relatively close to each other
(within 200 m) were demonstrated. Both the quantity
and structure of bacterial communities were significantly
influenced by organic matter content, soil moisture and
pH. Bacterial diversity was higher in summer, while that
of actinobacteria increased in winter. The Simpson’s
evenness E was significantly correlated with soil organic
matter content. Soil pH had the greatest influence on
bacterial community structure showing higher within-site
variability in summer than in winter.
Populetum pamiricae ass. nova – an endemic
forest association to Pamir in Tajikistan
(Middle Asia)
Authors: Nowak Arkadiusz , Nobis Marcin , Gębala Małgorzata , Wasik Piotr 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
The floristic structure, distribution and habitat
requirements of a forest syntaxon, Populetum pamiricae
ass. nova is described. The potential range of the Populetum
pamiricae association comprises the mountains of eastern
Tajikistan (Pamir Alai Mts), Kashgaria in western China
(Kunlun Shan Mts) and north-eastern Afghanistan (Hindu
Kush Mts) in Middle Asia. The biotope of this community
comprises of high mountain river valleys situated at
elevations between 2,500 and 3,200 m above sea level.
Phytocoenoses of the Populetum pamiricae association
are characterized by the apparent domination in the tree
layer of a diagnostic species, Populus pamirica. The tree
stand has a mean cover around 55%. The layer of shrubs
consists primarily of the willow including Salix linearifolia
and S. wilhelmsiana, and Hippophaë rhamnoides, Rosa
huntica and Lonicera stenantha. The herb layer is less
developed and consists of species typical for Populetea
laurifolio-suaveolentis; however, in juvenile stages of the
community, taxa from riverbed vegetation (i.e. Salicion
eleagni) also frequently occur. Populetum pamiricae grows
in areas of flood inundations caused mainly by spring
thaw where the humus layer in soils is very thin or even
completely absent. The forest association of Populetum
pamiricae ass. nova is one of the rarest and most
rapidly disappearing wood communities in Tajikistan.
High conservation priority and special management is
recomended for this association.
Eine Exkommunikationsandrohung des Johannes Kalekas an den Metropoliten von Trapezunt und ihre Hintergründe
Authors: Kavvadas Nestor 
Published: February 2015

AbstractA remarkable letter of the Patriarch of Constantinople Ioannes Kalekas to the Metropolitan Gregorios of Trebizond announces the excommunication of the illegitimate second wife of the Emperor of Trebizond, the Megas Komnenos Basileios, and simultaneously threatens the latter with the same punishment, if he should not return to his rightful spouse - a daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos - as well as the Metropolitan himself, if he should not stop supporting his Emperor. Although this letter is an example of the political instrumentalisation of excommunication under Kalekas (and during the entire civil wars), it resists a straightforward political interpretation, because Kalekas and his political friends in Constantinople seem not to have had stable alliances in contemporary Trebizond. But the unusually vehement accusations against Gregorios of Trebizond launched in this letter by Kalekas, who was then taking measures against the advancing erosion of the episcopate in Asia Minor, reveal the direct goal of the Patriarch: to prepare in due form, by means of the excommunication threat, the deposition of Gregorios and his replacement by a prelate of his confidence - which is precisely what Kalekas did as soon as Basileios died and Gregorios was left without support.
Romanos Melodos on the Raising of Lazarus
Authors: Rodgers Barbara Saylor 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThrough a close reading of Kontakion XXVI, this paper demonstrates that Romanos the Melodist provides a novel treatment of the raising of Lazarus, omitting most of the details from the gospel of John and avoiding many of the themes found in prose commentators on the episode. Romanos’ understanding of the story is based more upon Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians than on the context in the gospel where it is found. In this kontakion, Lazarus’ resuscitation demonstrates the power of faith and affirms belief in the resurrection of Christ. Romanos employs the device of having one’s enemy proclaim one’s victory when he adapts themes and methods of Syriac dispute poems to reinforces this message of faith and resurrection via the testimony of Hades and Thanatos in the second half of the kontakion.

Cultural Identity in Claudia Llosa’s The milk of sorrow
Authors: Gómez Leticia 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Focusing on the main character Fausta in the film The milk of sorrow / La teta asustada by Claudia Llosa, this article applies a narratological and postcolonial queer analysis to the process of Fausta’s identity creation to reveal in the text certain cultural identity negotiations. It is suggested that by means of the representation of cultural identity, a critique is posed to the current (un)balance of power that is directly relatable to coloniality. The study concludes that cultural identity is based on character(s)-construction and their relation to chronotopes, i.e. representations of temporal and spatial categories or ‘time-space’. It is also suggested that the text questions traditional models of power, although the critique is less potent in parts of the text.
Deixis in Musical Narrative
Authors: Reybrouck Mark 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
This paper conceives of music as discourse. It elaborates on the deictic concept of pointing as a heuristic guide for sense-making and stresses the role of focal attention as a means for singling out those elements that are denoted as being meaningful. Three aspects are discussed: the delimitation of the elements (which elements?), the mutual relations of these elements (the structure of the music) and the mental operations of the listener (narrative comprehension). To the extent that all these aspects can be organized in a kind of overall mental apprehension, it is possible to explore the possibilities of cognitive maps as organizational tools for musical sense-making, both as the result of sensory experience and cognitive processing by the listener.
Cross-media Integration of Literature and Dance
Authors: Ling Yu 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Creative artists can achieve cross-media integration of literature and dance. Blood Carmen, the novel by Hong Kong writer Huang Biyun, combines the rhythm and beat of literature with that of flamenco dance into a unified whole, tapping out a unique artistic work. First, the form of dance is blended into the form of language in order to create a unified, dynamic narrative. Second, literary style is blended with the style of dance. Third, the author, through her portrayal of the dancers’ lives, expertly evokes aspects of the unspeakable pain life often brings. Huang Biyun’s own soul resonates with flamenco, and from this deep, personal experience she has given us new possibilities for the cross-media narrative.
Clinical benefit of measuring both haemoglobin and transferrin concentrations in faeces: demonstration during a large-scale colorectal cancer screening trial in Japan
Authors: Takashima Yoshinori , Shimada Takao , Yokozawa Tamotsu 
Published: February 2015

Abstract

Background: While the faecal immunochemical test for haemoglobin (FIT) is an important screening tool to detect gastrointestinal bleeding, false-negative cases resulting from the enterobacterial degradation of haemoglobin (Hb) have emerged. When faecal Hb tests have given false-negative results, it is considered that digestive bleeding diseases can be detected by measuring faecal transferrin (Tf), which is less susceptible to enterobacterial degradation. This study evaluated the benefit of measuring both Hb and Tf as markers of blood in the faeces during a large-scale colorectal cancer screening trial in Japan.

Methods: We screened 12,255 participants, i.e., 8223 men and 4032 women, for faecal Hb and Tf using a Discrete Clinical Chemistry Analyser NS-Plus C15 system.

Results: Among the 1232 participants with positive test results for blood, 417 were detected based solely on Tf, which increased the positive rate from 6.7% to 10.1%. The Hb and Tf concentrations were not correlated directly, thereby suggesting that Tf can detect a positive group that differs from that detected based on Hb. The positive rate for Tf alone was significantly higher in women (4.9%) compared with men (2.7%) (p<0.0001), which may be explained by the significantly higher constipation complaint rate in the Tf-positive group compared with the haemoglobin-only-positive group (p=0.0069).

Conclusions: The results of this large-scale colorectal cancer screening study suggest that analysing both Hb and Tf using an NS-Plus system should be beneficial for subjects who are missed by conventional Hb testing alone.
One-pot synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds catalyzed silica supported phenylphosphinic acid
Authors: Liu Di , Zhang Jingwei , Zhang Chi , Kou Xiaoyan 
Published: February 2015

AbstractA simple and facile synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds was developed by the one-pot condensation of cyclohexanone, aromatic aldehydes and anilines at 25°C in the presence of silica supported phenylphosphinic acid. β-Amino carbonyl compounds were obtained in moderate to good yields and reasonable diastereoselectivities. This method has the advantages of short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, reusable catalyst, cost efficiency and environment friendly. In addition, acetophenone and aliphatic ketones as reactants were investigated.
Transcriptional and translational mechanisms contribute to regulate the expression of Discs Large 1 protein during different biological processes
Authors: Marziali Federico , Cavatorta Ana Laura , Valdano Marina Bugnon , Facciuto Florencia , Gardiol Daniela 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Human discs large (DLG1) has been demonstrated to be involved in cell polarity and maintenance of tissue architecture. However, the mechanisms controlling DLG1 expression are not fully understood. This is relevant as DLG1 is lost during the later stages of malignant progression. We initiated a series of studies to analyse the mechanisms regulating DLG1 expression. We have previously reported the identification of an alternative splicing event in the 5′ untranslated region (5′-UTR) of DLG1 mRNA that generates transcripts with two different 5′-UTR (short and large 5′-UTR variants). In this study, we further examined the impact of the DLG1 transcription and the role of the differential expression of the alternative 5′-UTRs on DLG1 protein levels. We analysed these mechanisms during cell processes like differentiation, cell cycle progression and cell-cell contact formation, where the importance of DLG1 activities was previously established. The data presented in this report suggest that the transcriptional regulation of DLG1 strongly contributes to DLG1 abundance and that differential expression of alternative 5′-UTRs with different translational properties, also cooperates, depending on the cell type and cell situation. This study provides new evidence for understanding the transcriptional regulation of DLG1 and the changes in DLG1 expression during different biological processes.

Published: February 2015

AbstractGingipain proteases are important virulence factors from the periodontal pathogenPorphyromonas gingivalisand are the target of manyin vitrostudies. Due to their close biochemical properties, purification of individual gingipains is difficult and requires multiple chromatographic steps. In this study, we demonstrate that insertion of a hexahistidine affinity tag upstream of a C-terminal outer membrane translocation signal in RgpB gingipain leads to the secretion of a soluble, mature form of RgpB bearing the affinity tag that can easily be purified by nickel-chelating affinity chromatography. The final product obtained high yielding high purity is biochemically indistinguishable from the native RgpB enzyme.
“Some Species of Contrasts”: British Graphic Satire, the French Revolution, and the Humor of Horror
Authors: Lahikainen Amanda 
Published: February 2015

AbstractPartly in response to the French Revolution, British political satirists in the 1790s re-imagined some visual techniques found in earlier European graphic art, including contrast, incongruity, and distortion, but with the addition of irony and violence. These satires demonstrate the deep structural similarity of humor with emotions often considered its opposites, such as horror, fear, and disgust, and visualize a phenomenon that was also theorized by philosophers of incongruity such as Joseph Priestley and Francis Hutcheson. The humor of art-horror grew in both theory and practice during the latter half of the eighteenth century and indicates the importance of incongruity in assessing modern life. These satires exemplify an obsession with death and offer an important precedent for modern political satires that engage violence and victimization for humorous effect. Extreme incongruity invites a range of different viewer responses and gives modern satire an uneasy edge.
Radical Clowning: Challenging Militarism through Play and Otherness
Authors: Sørensen Majken Jul 
Published: February 2015

AbstractDuring the last decade, radical clowning has become an increasingly popular tactic among participants in the global justice movement in the western world. In order to discuss how radical clowns differ from conventional clowns and what they have in common, radical clowning can be interpreted through the lenses of clown theory and the four concepts of play, otherness, incompetence, and ridicule. Ethnographic data from the Swedish anti-militarist network Ofog reveals how play and otherness contribute to radical clowns’ attempts to communicate nonviolent values, negotiate space, and recognize the human in the other. The findings demonstrate one way that humor can be rebellious and challenge established relations of power.
A New Electromagnetic Heating Method to Study Spray Cooling
Authors: Huerta-Larumbe M.E. , Acosta-González F.A. 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThis work shows measured heat fluxes that are removed by air-mist jets under steady-state conditions from different metallic surfaces at temperatures up to 1,200°C. A sample disk is subjected simultaneously to induction heating and spray cooling. In order to reach a set-point temperature for the disk, a digital controller adjusts the power delivered by a 5 kW high-frequency generator to compensate the heat removed by the spray. The heat flux removed by the impinging jet is determined from the measured values of coil current and disk temperature, and from the coupled numerical solution of the Maxwell’s equations together with the heat conduction equation. This method determines heat fluxes within 10% uncertainty. The obtained boiling curves for Pt, Ni and Inconel show that heat flux is described by a single curve in the stable film boiling regime for these metals.
Is Personal Injury Law Personal?
Authors: Sinel Zoë 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThis essay responds to Jeffrey O’Connell’s critique of fault-based tort liability. Behind O’Connell’s argument for no-fault liability lies the notion that “accidents” simply happen and no one is to blame for them. This idea can be seen as a species of philosophical arguments surrounding the perceived unfairness of moral luck. In reply, this essay outlines several responses to moral luck, ultimately siding with a position that accommodates both the apparent randomness of accidents with a coherent justification for personal legal responsibility. The essay’s position, however, assumes an answer to the precise feature of tort law that O’Connell found problematic and unjustified, namely, that
