Abstract
This is the second part of a two-volumespecial issueof Open Geoscience (formerly Central European Journalof Geosciences) that aims to be instrumental in providingan update of Mafic-Ultramafic Rocks and Alkaline-Carbonatitic Magmatism and Associated HydrothermalMineralization. Together, these two volumes provide a detailedand comprehensive coverage of the subjects thatare relevant to the research work of P.Comin-Chiaramonti(Italy) and LiaN. Kogarko (Russia) towhomPart-I and Part-II have been respectively dedicated.To a significant extent, the development of advanced samplingtechnologies related to alkaline and carbonatiticmagmatism by Lia N. Kogarko, has allowed geoscientiststo measure and sample the deep crust of the planet notonly for the exploration for the mineral deposits, but alsoto answer basic scientific questions about the origin andevolution of alkaline rocks (kimberlites, lamproites and relatedrocks associated with carbonatites). The papers presentedin this Part-II of the special issue cover the petrologyand geochemistry of the rocks collected from the surfaceand penetrated by drilling. Lia Kogarko proposed anew theory for the evolution of alkaline magmatism in thegeological history of the Earth – that the appearance of alkalinemagmatism at the Archaean-Proterozoic boundary(~2.5 – 2.7 Ga), and its growing intensity, was related tochanges in the geodynamic regime of the Earth and oxidationof the mantle due to mantle-crust interaction.
Occurrences of Chert in Jurassic-Cretaceous Calciturbidites (SWTurkey)
Authors: Gül Murat 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The Lycian Nappes, containing ophiolite andsedimentary rocks sequences, crop out in the southwestTurkey. The Tavas Nappe is a part of the Lycian Nappes.It includes the Lower Jurassic-Upper Cretaceous calciturbidites.Chert occurrences were observed in the lower partof this calciturbidite. These cherts can be classified on thebasis of length, internal structure and host rock. Chertbands are 3.20-35.0min length and 7.0-35.0 cm thick. Chertlenses are 5.0-175.0 cm in length and 1.0-33.0 cm thick. Accordingto its internal structure, granular chert (bladedlargeequitant quartz minerals replaced the big calcitemineral of fossil shell) and porcelanious chert (microcrystallinesilica replaced micrite) have been separated. Chertsare generally associated with calcarenite-calcirudite, theothers with calcilutite. Micritic calcite patches of chertspoint out an uncompleted silicification. The source of silicawas dominantly quartz-rich, older, basal rocks and toa lesser extent radiolarians. The coarse-grained calciturbiditesact as a way for silica transportation. Some calciteveins (formed during transportation and emplacement ofnappes) cut both calciturbidites and cherts. Thus, chert occurrencesevolved before emplacement of nappes (the latestCretaceous-Late Miocene period) during the epigeneticphase.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Serbia represents one of those countries whichhave not yet differentiated themselves on the worldtourism map. However, it has an immense but still unrevealedpotential for geotourism development. In this paperwe analyzed several remarkable canyons and gorgesof great scientific importance and geotourism potential.These sites include the Djerdap Gorge and Lazar RiverCanyon, located in Eastern Serbia and the Ovcar-KablarGorge and Uvac Canyon located in Western Serbia. One ofthe main goals of this paper was to analyze and comparethe current state and tourism potential of these geosites byusing the M-GAM model for geosite assessment. However,the principal aim of the paper is to analyze how importantis each subindicator in the assessment process for differentmarket segments. In this paper, we also analyzed howgiving different importance to subindicators can influencethe position of the geosites in the matrix indicating differentassessment done by two chosen market segments.The research showed that general geotourists appreciateconsiderably different values when assessing a geosite incomparison to pure geotourists. The paper can be used asframework for developing the tourism management strategyof geosites taking into consideration the needs andpreferences of the target market segments.

Abstract
The EU-TecNet monitoring network uses customized three-dimensional extensometers to record transient deformations across individual faults. This paper presents the first results from two newly established monitoring points in the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria. The data from Saeva Dupka, recorded across an EEN-WWS striking fault, show sinistral strike-slip along the fault and subsidence of the southern block. Much of the subsidence occurred around the time of the distal MW = 5.6 Pernik Earthquake. An important transient deformation event, which began in autumn 2012, was reflected by significant compression and following extension, across the monitored fault. The data from Bacho Kiro, recorded across a NE–SW striking fault, show sinistral strike-slip along the fault and subsidence of the north-western block. The same important deformation event was reflected by changes in the strike-slip, dip-slip, and horizontal opening/closing trends. These results have been compared to data from other monitoring points in the Western Carpathians, External Dinarides, and Tian Shan. Many of the sites show evidence of simultaneous displacement anomalies and this observation is interpreted as a reflection of the plate-wide propagation of a tectonic pressure pulse towards the end of 2012.
Feature Selection Using Particle Swarm Optimization in Text Categorization
Authors: Aghdam Mehdi Hosseinzadeh , Heidari Setareh 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Feature selection is the main step in classification systems, a procedure that selects a subset from original features. Feature selection is one of major challenges in text categorization. The high dimensionality of feature space increases the complexity of text categorization process, because it plays a key role in this process. This paper presents a novel feature selection method based on particle swarm optimization to improve the performance of text categorization. Particle swarm optimization inspired by social behavior of fish schooling or bird flocking. The complexity of the proposed method is very low due to application of a simple classifier. The performance of the proposed method is compared with performance of other methods on the Reuters-21578 data set. Experimental results display the superiority of the proposed method.

Authors: Wang Guocheng , Zhang Shiguo 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
One of the most important advantage of ABM (Agent-Based Modeling) used in social and economic calculation simulation is that the critical behavioral characteristics of the micro agents can be deeply depicted by the approach. Why, what and how real behavior(s) should be incorporated into ABM and is it appropriate and effective to use ABM with HSCA collaboration and micro-macro link features for complex economy/finance analysis? Through deepening behavioral analysis and using computational experimental methods incorporating HS (Human Subject) into CA (Computational Agent), which is extended ABM, based on the theory of behavioral finance and complexity science as well, we constructed a micro-macro integrated model with the key behavioral characteristics of investors as an experimental platform to cognize the conduction mechanism of complex capital market and typical phenomena in this paper, and illustrated briefly applied cases including the internal relations between impulsive behavior and the fluctuation of stock’s, the asymmetric cognitive bias and volatility cluster, deflective peak and fat-tail of China stock market.
Investigations on Mechanical Behaviour of B4C and MoS2 Reinforced AA2024 Hybrid Composites
Authors: Rebba Bhargavi , Ramanaiah N. 
Published: October 2015

AbstractThe results of an experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of boron carbide (B4C) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) reinforced aluminium alloy (AA2024) hybrid composite samples, processed by stir casting process are reported in this paper. Based on the previous studies, it was concluded that for 4% of weight of the B4C powders reinforced in AA2024 metal matrix have better mechanical properties like tensile strength and hardness than the base alloy. Also the 4% of MoS2 reinforced in AA2024 metal matrix exhibited good mechanical properties than the matrix metal. Hence an attempt has been made to further improve the properties of the composite using both B4C and MoS2 as reinforcement particles in the AA2024 matrix. in the present study hybrid composite specimen were developed varying the weight% of B4C and MoS2, viz., 1%+3%, 2%+2%, 3%+1% B4C and MoS2 respectively in the AA2024 matrix. The prepared samples were subjected to a series of mechanical tests like tensile and hardness tests. Further, SEM & XRD analyses were performed on the prepared samples to study the microstructure and to ensure the proper dispersion of the reinforced particles in the metal matrix.
Comparative Study for Buckling Resistance of Steel Sheets Provided with Stiffeners Used in Bridge Structures
Authors: Daraban Marian 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The subject discussed in this paper is based on an experimental bridge model which was built to study the pre-critical and post-critical buckling behaviour of steel webs of box girders provided with longitudinal and transversal stiffeners. The article presents a comparison between the experimental results and the numerical ones for buckling resistance of stiffened steel webs. For this purpose two types of analysis will be carried out: an analysis to establish the values and eigenvectors of buckling, after which the critical factor for the first mode of buckling will be obtained, and then a geometrical and physical nonlinear analysis will be performed.
Global Ductility of Dual Steel Frames with Replaceable Dissipative Shear Walls
Authors: Neagu Calin , Dinu Florea , Dubina Dan 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The paper presents the results of a numerical program that was used to investigate the seismic performance of dual steel frames with dissipative shear walls. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses were employed in order to evaluate the global ductility and the q factor for a twelve story building. The influence of the q factor on the estimated level of damage and post-earthquake intervention strategy was investigated. The dynamic analyses were conducted using two groups of accelerograms, selected to match the response spectra of two types of grounds. The numerical models were validated against experimental tests. The results show that q factor values adopted in design influence the level of damage. If re-centering capacity is properly controlled by design, the replacement of damaged walls can minimize the time and cost of intervention, thus supporting disaster resilience of buildings
Case Study on Vulnerability Increase for a Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure
Authors: Olteanu Ioana , Canarache Radu Marian , Budescu Mihai 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Seismic vulnerability for a structure represents the susceptibility to be affected by an event with a given intensity. The vulnerability of a structure can be influenced by the design methods or by different problems that may appear during the execution process.
This paper shows a case study for the vulnerability increase of a reinforced concrete frame structure in 2 different situations:
a) modification produced due to code changes, meaning P100-2006 respectively P100-2013;
b) modifications produced the structure taking into account the errors which have occurred during the execution process;
For both cases, capacity curves were plotted considering the nonlinear analysis, also called pushover. The numerical simulation was performed in SAP2000 software. These curves were compared with the response spectrum corresponding to the site conditions in order to obtain the performance point. For accurate results, fragility curves were plotted for both considered situations, according to previous research of the authors.
The paper emphasizes the importance of each stage during the execution of a structure. More over the differences in the vulnerability index show the importance on the overall behavior of the structure. Solution to increase strength and safety for the structure are also given at the end of the paper
Reduction of the Mean Hedging Transaction Costs / Redukcija povprečnih transakcijskih stroškov hedging tehnike
Authors: Mastinšek Miklavž 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Transaction costs of derivative hedging appear in financial markets. This paper considers the problem of delta hedging and the reduction of expected proportional transaction costs. In the literature the expected approximate proportional transaction costs are customarily estimated by the gamma term, usually the largest term of the associated series expansion. However, when options are to expire in a month or few weeks, other terms may become even larger so that more precise estimates are needed. In this paper, different higher-order estimates of proportional transaction costs are analyzed. The problem of the reduction of expected transaction costs is considered. As a result, a suitably adjusted delta is given, for which the expected approximate proportional transaction costs can be reduced. The order of the mean and the variance of the hedging error can be preserved. Several examples are provided.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) technology in distracting attention from pain. We tested how body engagement related to navigating the virtual environment (VE) influences the intensity of pain. Two different interfaces were used to play the same VE, and a cold pressor test was used for pain stimulation. A mixed design was used for the experiment. Sixty-six undergraduate students participated. One group navigated the game using a rotation sensor, head tracker and foot pedals (Body Movement Interface). Another group navigated only using their hands (Hand Movement Interface). Objective and subjective measures of pain were collected - the amount of time participants kept their hand in a container with cold water, and the participant’s assessment of the pain intensity on a visual analog scale (VAS). Participants also filled in questionnaires designed to measure feelings of presence in VE and emotional attitudes towards the game. We found no significant difference between the two used interfaces in their analgesic efficacy. In both groups during VR distraction, participants showed significantly higher levels of pain endurance than without VR distraction.
Coping with anxiety in patients undergoing hip replacement
Authors: Stecz Patryk , Kocur Józef 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Our research aim was to answer whether temperament traits could predict the anxiety experienced by osteoarthritis patients before and after arthroplasty; we analyzed if coping styles moderated the relationship between temperament and perioperative anxiety, and examined the fluctuation of perceived stress and anxiety.
In the longitudinal study (N=61, mean age 70.9) we measured temperament traits (EAS-A), coping styles (Brief-COPE) and changes of perceived anxiety (STAI) and stress (PSS-10), before and after arthroplasty.
Anxiety and stress decreased significantly after the surgery. Temperament correlated with the anxiety state. Positive correlates were anger, negative affectivity, and fear while negative correlates included sociability and vigor. Regression analyses indicated the predictors of preoperative anxiety which included vigor and negative affectivity. The regression model for the variation of postsurgical anxiety indicated that negative affectivity explained the variance of this variable (R2=0.57). Moderation analyses confirmed that the temperament and anxiety relationship depended on: active coping, acceptance and planning.
Vulnerable patients with temperamental emotionality and ineffective coping report heightened perioperative anxiety, while effective coping moderates the temperament and anxiety relationship.
Psychometric properties of Self-Perception Profile for Children in a Polish sample
Authors: Gacek Michał , Pilecka Władysława , Fusińska-Korpik Agnieszka 
Published: October 2015

AbstractThe Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) is a measure which allows one to assess children’s self-concept. Our article presents this instrument’s psychometric properties within a Polish sample. In our study we tested 432 elementary school students and 14 form teachers. As validity indicators we used the Teacher’s Rating Scale of Child’s Actual Behavior (TRS) and the average school grade for the previous semester. The Polish version of SPPC yielded good psychometric properties. The instrument’s factorial structure paralleled the structure of the original version. Reliability was high both in terms of internal consistency and test-retest results. Scale validity was confirmed in the correlational analysis. Boys scored higher than girls in the Physical Appearance and Global Self-Worth subscales but lower in the Behavioral Conduct subscale. Younger children scored higher than older children in the Scholastic Competence, Physical Appearance, and Global Self-Worth subscales. Judgments on children’s physical appearance were the best predictor of their global self-worth.
Influence of memory on experienced pain during Virtual Reality analgesia

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) technology can be applied during pain treatment, acting as an effective distractor from pain stimuli. In our paper we investigate how memory influences experienced intensity of thermal pain stimuli. An experiment (within subject design) was conducted on 35 students from various Wroclaw universities. A cold pressor test was used for pain stimulation. Participants were immersed in customized virtual environments, created for this particular study. The environments differed at the level of memory engagement while playing a game. Pain measures were determined by the length of time participants kept their hands in cold water (pain tolerance), and their pain rating intensity was measured on the VAS scale (pain intensity). Participants were asked to put their hand in a container with cold water and keep it there until the pain became difficult to bear.
In both VR conditions participants kept their hands in the cold water significantly longer than in a non-VR (control) condition. Results of pain intensity measures were in conclusive. We did not find any significant differences in effectiveness in the virtual environments that were used.
Which literary theory tools can a psychologist use for interpreting language communication?
Authors: Kuncewicz Dorota , Sokołowska Ewa , Sobkowicz Jolanta 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The theory of literature provides tools for interpreting language communication. A psychologist, when interpreting a communication - which is often a latent one - has no other alternative but to employ these tools (with the exception of non-verbal communication). Often, however, this stage of work is defined as “intuitive”, which significantly limits the repeatability of the procedure and thus gives rise to reservations as to its scientific value. Review of certain literary theory devices, along with their possible applications, allows for naming these tools, selecting, and ordering the consecutive stages of communication analysis. In our opinion, such reviewing opens up the possibility for filling this gap in qualitative research analysis with specific tools and specific ways of using these tools in place of intuitiveness.
Processing Fluency and Decision-Making: The Role of Language Structure
Authors: Deckert Mikołaj 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This paper models conventionalisation of language structure as constitutive of processing fluency. I postulate that the difference in conventionalisation of linguistic forms used for communication significantly influences our reasoning about linguistically-expressed problems. Two studies are reported that tested this hypothesis with the use of variably conventionalised - fluent and disfluent - formulations of problem-solving tasks. Th e findings indicate that even in tasks requiring analytic reasoning, the degree to which the linguistic forms employed to communicate are conventionalised is correlated with the subjects’ performance success rate. On a more general level, this paper seeks to empirically address the nature of links between linguistic form and meaning construction.
It is the Spirit who gives life (John 6:63): Experience and the Formulation of Theology
Authors: Zaprometova Olga 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This paper was presented at the international conference “Theology of the Holy Spirit: Personal Experience and Charismatic Movements in Contemporary Churches” held in Sibiu (2014). Although the role of the charismatic experience in the history of Christianity is a well-known fact it is still of particular interest for today due to the growth of Pentecostalism and charismatic movements worldwide. By turning to Hildegard of Bingen and to Martin Luther for a better understanding of the “faith of the heart”, this study aims to emphasize faith not just as a matter of understanding God but rather as experiencing the real presence of the Holy One. A particular focus is on clarifying terms and seeking the understanding of one another’s positions on the issue of the Holy Spirit.
The Problem of the Place of the Person of the Holy Spirit in Orthodox Ecclesiology of the 20th Century (on the example of Eucharistic ecclesiology of Nicholas Afanasiev)
Authors: Bobkova Kseniya 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The question of the place of the Holy Spirit in the Orthodox Ecclesiology is not a new one, but it still remains open. In this article special attention is devoted to the Eucharistic Ecclesiology of Nicholas Afanasiev, in which he has tried to give to the Person of the Holy Spirit an essential place, and to the ecclesiological ideas of George Florovsky, who in his theological constructions has been extreme Christocentric and has avoided to give a special place to the oikonomia of the Spirit. A particular remark is made also about the possibility of using the neo-patristic synthesis in the discussion (with special reference the texts of St. Basil the Great, St. Athanasius of Alexandria and Didymus the Blind).
