Community music as a cognitive training programme for successful ageing
Authors: Bugos Jennifer A. 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Reflecting upon several music training programmes developed to assist beginning older adult musicians as a cognitive training intervention, the author suggests a model for connecting community music programmes and musical training to successful ageing. Musical training has the capacity to promote cognitive transfer, self-efficacy and overall quality of life, essential for successful ageing and therapeutic rehabilitation. This model provides a holistic perspective regarding the relationship between music participation and programmatic structure necessary to facilitate change in physiological, psychological and emotional health. Interviews from participants suggest that music education programmes, when structured as a cognitive training programme, can enhance cognitive and emotional status. Community music programmes and music education opportunities offer aesthetic enrichment, intrinsic enjoyment and high ecological validity, elements lacking in current cognitive training programmes.
The development and cultural translation of a brief theatre-based programme for the promotion of bystander engagement and violence prevention
Authors: Plourde Cathy , Taket Ann , Murray Virginia , Werf Patrick Van Der 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
This article focuses on a theatre-based intervention for the promotion and protection of health and well-being, an area of applied arts that is increasingly seeing more interest. You the Man (YTM) is an American theatre-based programme for bystander engagement and violence prevention. It is a brief intervention, consisting of a 30–35 minute play about dating violence and sexual assault plus a post-performance panel discussion. The script of the play remains unchanged from performance to performance, but the format of the post-performance discussion is tailored to the local setting, circumstances, and other violence prevention activities happening locally. Panel members present for this discussion are drawn from local support agencies, and the discussion serves to introduce people to the local resources that are available. This article describes the original process of development and application of YTM in the United States, followed by the process undertaken to produce an Australian version of the programme; the term cultural translation is used to describe this process.
Psellos and Plotinos
Authors: Lauritzen Frederick 
Published: February 2015

AbstractMichael Psellos (1018-1081?) had a limited and specific interest in Plotinus’ writings. He rarely quotes them, preferring the later Neoplatonist Proclus. Nevertheless, four essays reveal his study of Enneads 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 3.7, 5.8 and 5.9. Generally, he indicates his disagreement with the ancient philosopher except on the question of time. From the context it appears that the period of such research was ca 1055-1075 and may have been prompted by a friend such as Xiphilinos.
Üçayak: a forgotten Byzantine church
Authors: Mihaljević Marina 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThe imposing ruins of a Byzantine church known as Üçayak, situated in the vicinity of the city of Kırşehir in central Anatolia, on the border between the historic Byzantine provinces of Galatia and Cappadocia, exhibit several conspicuous architectural features. The church presents a combination of an ambiguous twin-church plan, a distinctive building technique, and a remarkably sophisticated exterior design comparable with those of metropolitan buildings. Together these features leave doubts about the sources of the church’s design, its original function and its patronage. In order to ponder the relationship between Üçayak‘s architecture and metropolitan and regional architectural developments, this paper deals with the church’s design and structural type within the framework of the totality of eleventh-century building activities, and examines possible function of the twin-church by comparing it with other regional Byzantine-rite churches. This study brings to the fore the extraordinary place of this church within the context of the regional construction, and establishes its close ties with eleventh-century metropolitan architecture. It also reveals the engagement of a master builder closely familiar with metropolitan practice and suggests that the building activities in the region of Bithynia may have facilitated the transmission of metropolitan architectural concepts further inland. In all probability, Üçayak‘s patron was a member of the local elite, which was customarily connected to the capital. Regarding the possible function of the twin-church of Üçayak, this article argues for the burial and commemorative functions, which often motivated the double arrangement in Cappadocian rock-cut churches.
Eine Schmähschrift des Michael Apostoles
Authors: Stefec Rudolf S. 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThe present article offers the first complete edition of a pamphlet written by the Cretan scholar and scribe Michael Apostoles (†1478), addressed to one Lukios. The text gives us an insight into the prosopography of Cretan scholars of the late 15th century and is remarkable for its elaborate style and numerous and explicit references to homosexuality.
The Semiotic Function of the Kola Nut in Nigeria
Authors: Ekundayo Steve Bode O. , Ugwu Esther Nkiruka 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Kola nut is a ubiquitous crop that is the most valued, respected and widely used of all foods and cash crops grown in Nigeria. The presence of kola nut at a gathering or the offer of it generates a whirlpool of feelings in the giver and the receiver. In addition to building on existing knowledge of the kola nut, this paper - semiotic in approach and based on many years of empirical study - establishes and elucidates the inherent qualities and contents that make kola nut unique, iconic and symbolic. The paper concludes that kola nut is a great icon of socio-economic, socio-cultural and religious values and thus it enhances national cohesion.

Abstract

Background: There are some problematic results in determination of differential renal function (DRF) by means of Tc-99m DMSA renal scintigraphy in hydronephrotic kidneys. In this study the classical method (CM) and unit area methods (UAM) in the estimation of DRF in unilateral hydronephrosis before and after intervention were compared.

Methods: Twenty patients (12 M, 8 F; mean: 42.6±18.5 years old) who were candidates for surgery or intervention because of unilateral hydronephrosis were the subjects of this study. All the patients were evaluated by Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy before and 3–6 months after the intervention. In order to estimate DRF both CM and UAM (obtained by division of the counts including the kidney ROI to pixel of the same ROI) were performed. Bland-Altman analyses were performed in order to compare the DRF values obtained from both methods.

Results: The agreement between CM and UAM was poor in the preoperative estimation, however, the agreement was good after the operation or intervention.

Conclusions: In this study it seems that DRF estimation with CM in unilateral hydronephrosis might be problematic in the determination of surgery thus UAM might be introduced as the method of choice in the determination of DRF in unilateral hyronephrosis.
On the properties of dynamic value functions in the problem of optimal investment in incomplete markets
Authors: Mania Michael , Tevzadze Revaz 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
We study the analytical properties of a dynamic value function and of
an optimal solution to the utility maximization problem in incomplete markets
for utility functions defined on the whole real line. It was shown by Kramkov
and Sirbu [Ann. Appl. Probab. 16 (2006), no. 3, 1352–1384] that if the relative risk-aversion coefficient of the
utility function defined on the half real line is uniformly bounded away from
zero and infinity, then the value function at time t = 0 of utility
maximization problem is two-times differentiable and the optimal wealth is
differentiable in probability with respect to the initial capital. Similar
results are true for utility functions defined on the whole real line if
instead of relative risk-aversion the same condition on the risk-aversion
coefficient is imposed. Besides, assuming the continuity of the filtration
F we prove that the derivative of the optimal wealth is strictly positive
and that the derivative exists also in the sense of L
1-convergence. This
enables us to show the existence of a strictly increasing (with respect to the
initial capital) and absolutely continuous modification of the optimal wealth.
We also study the differentiability properties of the value function V(t,x)
and of the optimal wealth process Xt
(x) for any t ∈ [0,T] and give
the conditions under which the second derivative of the value function and the
derivative of the optimal wealth process are continuous. We need these
properties to show that the value function satisfies a certain backward
stochastic partial differential equation used to characterize the optimal
wealth process.

Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to study sphingolipid signaling
Authors: Deng Xinzhu , Kolesnick Richard 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Sphingolipid signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans is vital for sensing environmental change and effecting appropriate cellular response. Many molecular components in sphingolipid intermediary metabolism are conserved throughout evolution. Here we review use of C. elegans as a model system for conducting sphingolipid-based scientific investigation, which has helped us better understand vital roles these remarkable lipids play in human metabolism and disease.
Why All Dictators Have Moustaches: Political Jokes in Contemporary Belarus
Authors: Astapova Anastasiya 
Published: February 2015

AbstractBased on the repertoire of Belarusian oral political jokes collected between 2011 and 2013, this article compares contemporary Belarusian humor to the earlier Socialist and contemporary non-Belarusian jokes. During this study, I discovered that Belarusian oral jokes mostly have versions created through various schemes of adaptation in other countries and about other figures (not necessarily political). The continuity goes far beyond the exchange of jokes between dictatorships (as it may initially seem after the comparison of Belarusian and Socialist jokes). I also discovered that Belarusian oral jokes are mostly authoritarian – ridiculing the regime and the president, unlike post-totalitarian ones targeting ideology. Finally, drawing from the emic perspective which coins many more forms and themes as the markers of political jokes than the scholars usually do, I show how expansive the notion of political humor may be.
Understanding the Sequential Resources for Doing Humor in the Language Classroom
Authors: Reddington Elizabeth , Waring Hansun Zhang 
Published: February 2015

AbstractHumor scholars have made great strides in identifying markers of humor such as prosody and laughter as well as the various social functions of humor in both everyday talk and workplace communication. Less research has been devoted to understanding the mechanisms of humor or how humor is done in naturally occurring interaction. Based on videotaped data from adult English-as-a-second-language (ESL) classrooms, we describe a specific set of sequential resources for producing humor in the language classroom and do so within a conversation analytic framework. We also give some preliminary consideration to the applicability of the findings in other interactional contexts as well as to the question of whether participants are oriented towards moments of humor as opportunities for language learning.
Determination of Volatile Compounds of Chinese Traditional Aromatic Sunflower Seeds (Helianthus annulus L.)

Published: February 2015

Abstract
Chinese aromatic sunflower seeds (ASS) are a traditional snack food of China. During the production process, raw sunflower seeds were boiled by adding several traditional Chinese spices and then roasted to dryness, which lead to the formation of typical aroma, taste and healthful properties of ASS. In this study, volatile compounds from ASS were isolated by static headspace (HS) as well as simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE) and determined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results show that the boiling process is necessary to obtain the typical aroma of ASS. A total of 82 compounds were identified, with phenols being the most abundant followed by spice components such as E-anethole and so on. Additionally, an SDE-GC/FID method was established to analyze the quantities of five main volatile compounds with eugenol being the most (16.06–29.30 µg/g). The levels of these five compounds could be used to adjust parameters during production and processing.

Authors: Ferro Erina , Girolami Michele , Salvi Dario , Mayer Christopher , Gorman Joe , Grguric Andrej , Ram Roni , Sadat Rubaiyat , Giannoutakis Konstantinos M. , Stocklöw Carsten 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThis article describes the UniversAAL platform, an open platform intended to facilitate the development, distribution, and deployment of technological solutions for Ambient assisted living (AAL). The platform is intended to benefit end users (i.e., assisted persons, their families, and caregivers), authorities with responsibility for AAL, and organizations involved in the development and deployment of AAL services. It consists of an extensive set of resources (some are software and some are models/architectures) aimed at these different groups. The resources are classified into three main groups: runtime support, development support, and community support. The article presents the benefits that can be expected from the widespread adoption of the platform. The article also describes progress on prototype implementations of some of the software resources, and the results of initial evaluations of the platform. The work is partially based on results from earlier European Union-funded research projects in the area.
Formen von Konsumption, Lebensstilen und Öffentlichkeiten von Homer bis Theognis
Authors: Ulf Christoph 
Published: February 2015

Zusammenfassung
Der nicht nur auf die Nutznießung materieller Güter zu beschränkende Begriff der Konsumption wird außerhalb der Altertumswissenschaften seit längerem erfolgreich dazu benutzt, um unterschiedliche Lebensstile mit ihren jeweiligen Lebenssituationen kausal in Verbindung zu bringen. In diesem Artikel wird der Begriff auf den Umgang mit Texten, Prestigegütern und sozialen Regeln angewandt. Als Beispielsfälle dienen die in die Ilias eingegangenen ‚orientalischen‘ Texte, die von Sappho und Xenophanes unterschiedlich bewerteten lydischen Güter und das Verständnis sozialer Regeln bei Theognis, um ausgehend von der in den homerischen Epen festzustellenden ‚Relativität des Besten‘ Typen von Konsumption voneinander abzugrenzen und dabei auch den jeweiligen Spielraum für die Gestaltung von Lebensstilen zu umschreiben.
Pyrokausis: Its meaning and function in the organisation of the Macedonian army
Authors: Chrysafis Charalampos I. 
Published: February 2015

Summary
This article aims to explain what the word pyrokausis means, which is only found in the text of the military diagramma of Philip V concerning the recruitment on the Macedonian kingdom. The purpose is to show that, contrary to the prevalent opinion, the oikos/oikia – the basic recruitment unit in the Macedonian kingdom (one oikos/oikia provides one soldier) – is not equivalent with the concept pyrokausis. Based on the information that are provided by the text of that inscription, and other sources which are listed and referred to the internal organization of the Macedonian army, the article concludes that the pyrokausis is another name for lochos, the basic military unit in the formation.
Soil quality, social status and locatio-conductio
Authors: Cordovana Orietta Dora 
Published: February 2015

Summary
The main aim of this paper is the analysis of the legal and epigraphic evidence for lease contracts in land tenure, with particular reference to the second and third centuries AD. Against the monolithic interpretation of the locatio conductio as the prototype of colonatus and emphyteusis contracts – with its assumption of continuity and sequential development – this paper gives evidence of the simultaneity of different letting and hiring contracts in agrarian contexts. By focusing on the agents involved in the legal transactions, we can distinguish different conditions pro qualitate personarum et rerum which characterized various locatio conductio contracts in the agrarian domain in terms of different onera and iura. Land tenure contracts have generally been analysed from the perspective of private law; taking due account of public ownership in demesne, however, will necessitate a different approach to the definition of some of the ‚public law‘ aspects of land tenure contracts.
Estudio sobre la responsabilidad derivada de la gestión del patrimonio público de municipios y colonias
Authors: de Castro-Camero Rosario 
Published: February 2015

Summary
A wrong administration of the pecunia communis had serious patrimonial consequences for the local magistrates in charge of it. This liability was demanded independently from the subjective intention or the diligent behavior of the magistrates. When they finish their management, they should hand in an account report and face an eventual popular action if it weren’t satisfactory. In this paper, the sort of liability, that these magistrates had, and also its proximity to the tutor’s one in regard with his pupil’s heritage, that in the private law area was required, are analyzed.

Diaryl-substituted carboranes as inhibitors of hypoxia inducible factor-1 transcriptional activity
Authors: Nakamura Hiroyuki , Tazaki Lisa , Kanoh Daisuke , Sato Shinichi 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Diaryl-substituted carboranes, as a new class of HIF-1α inhibitors, were synthesized from the corresponding diaryl-substituted alkynes by decaborane coupling. The microwave-irradiated conditions with a combination of N,N-dimethylaniline and chlorobenzene were effective to obtain the diaryl-substituted carboranes in good to high yields. Among the compounds synthesized, compounds 1a and 1d showed significant inhibition of HIF-1 mediated transcriptional activity under hypoxia. Both compounds similarly suppressed hypoxia-induced HIF-1α accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner without affecting HIF-1α mRNA expression.
Acyl chloride carbon insertion into dicarbaborane cages – new route to tricarbollide cages
Authors: Štíbr Bohumil 
Published: February 2015

AbstractReactions between thearachno-6,9-C2B8H14dicarbaborane and acyl chlorides, RCOCl, in the presence of amine bases in CH2Cl2, followed by acidification with conc. H2SO4at 0 °C, generate in high yields a series of neutral alkyl and aryl tricarbollides of structure 8-R-nido-7,8,9-C3B8H11(where R=alkyls and aryls). These skeletal alkylcarbonation (SAC) reactions are consistent with an aldol-type condensation between the RCO group and open-face dicarbaborane hydrogen atoms, which is associated with the insertion of the acyl chloride RC unit into the structure under elimination of three extra hydrogen atoms as H2O and HCl. The reactions thus result in an effective cross-coupling between R and the tricarbollide cage. High-temperature reactions between 8-Ar-nido-7,8,9-C3B8H11(where Ar=Ph, 1-C10H7, and 2-C10H7) compounds and [CpFe(CO)2]2produced the first types of monoaryl substituted twelve-vertex ferratricarbollide complexes of general constitution [1-(CpFe)-closo-ArC3B8H10] with three different arrangements of cluster carbon vertexes. The Fe-complexation is accompanied by extensive rearrangement of the cluster carbon atoms over the twelve-vertex cage and the complexes isolated can be regarded as ferrocene analogues.
