Authors: Szczygielska Agnieszka 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
This work refers to one of the hierarchical organizations, which is the police. The example of the Municipal Crowd Management (Stołeczne Stanowisko Kierowania; SSK) has been chosen as the basis for a detailed analysis presented in this article. The Department, as the place where the work of many individuals, departments and services is integrated, must demonstrate a high level of knowledge, competence, and coordination activities. The innovative technologies appear to be the unquestionable support. They should primarily serve the needs of managing knowledge on the efficient actions in relation to the socio- market requirements. In case of this organization, these solutions play a vital part in the creation of intelligent organization to support its activities focused on delivering effective public services and thus contributing to build the knowledge economy in Poland. An attempt to present the discussed issues has been taken in this study.
Mediating Conflicts in the Medical Sector: General Considerations from the Italian Perspective
Authors: Mannozzi Grazia 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThis paper focuses on the possibility of adopting a restorative justice approach and introducing mediation in dealing with conflicts that arise in the health care system due to medical malpractice. It moves from the observation that the steep increase in reported criminal cases (mainly negligent bodily injuries and negligent homicide) involving physicians has encouraged the development of “defensive medicine.” This is a questionable practice by which physicians and surgeons hope to avoid criminal charges or civil actions resulting from their professional behavior. After presenting the available statistical data on medical malpractice and on “defensive medicine” in Italy, this paper will seek to evaluate whether the introduction of mediation – which is allowed by the Italian Act 67/2014 – can delay the adoption of an attitude of defensive medicine and, in a wider perspective, discusses whether restorative justice and mediation in the health care system are feasible and desirable.
Synthesis and Characterization of Strontium Carbonate Nanostructures via Simple Hydrothermal Method
Authors: Asgari-Fard Zahra , Sabet Mohammad , Salavati-Niasari Masoud 
Published: April 2015

AbstractStrontium carbonate (SrCO3) nanostructures were synthesized via simple hydrothermal method by Sr(NO3)2, ethylenediamine and hydrazine as reagents. The products were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Different parameter’s effects on the product size and morphology were investigated. It was found that reagent concentration, reaction time and temperature play key roles in morphology of the obtained product.
Family, Social Capital and Internal Migration in Italy: The Case of the People of Tramonti
Authors: Capello Carlo 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Beginning with an outline of internal migration in Italy between the 1950s and the 1970s, the article aims to articulate a critical reflection on the role played by social capital in the development of Italian small firms. These issues are explored through an ethno-historical analysis of the experiences of a group of migrants from Tramonti, a little town in Southern Italy, whose success in the restaurant business provides the case study at the core of the paper. Since the 1950s, thousands of people have moved from Tramonti to Northern Italy, and many of them have joined the business of pizza restaurants. Although migration from this little town is just a small part of the substantial internal migration which took place in Italy in the second half of the 20th century, this case study allows us to explore some interesting questions pertaining to the study of both migration and small firms. After providing a brief historical description of the migration from Tramonti, the article attempts to explain and understand the success of this group of migrants by focusing on the key factor represented by social capital, while also offering a critical approach to the concept of social capital itself. This historical analysis shows how migratory chains consisting of family, kin and community ties have been transformed into strong social capital of prime importance to the business strategies of the Tramonti pizza-makers. This particular social capital was marked by strong family ties and values and worked through a “segmentary” logic of solidarity and fission. Indeed, this “entrepreneurial familism” was the main factor behind the success of the pizza makers (pizzaioli). The case study suggests, then, that familism is not necessarily an obstacle to economic improvement; instead, it is an essential component of the social capital, it can propel business success if it operates within the right social-economic context, like that of Northern Italy between the 1950s and 1970s.
Discourses on medical interventions in human reproduction (PGD and ART), state interventions and their justifications: Comparison of Slovak and German cases
Authors: Plichtová Jana , Moulin-Doos Claire 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
The paper presents a comparative analysis of the evolution of the legislative process concerning ART (especially PGD) in the specific cultural, societal and political contexts of two countries- Slovakia and Germany. Our analysis is based on 1. mapping the variety of discourses on ART in order to gain an understanding of the perspectives of the main actors and their arguments; and on 2. exploring the reasons for the differences in the current regulation of ART among European Union member states. In both Slovakia and Germany we found there was a deficit of democratic legitimacy, because the arguments and experiences of those primarily affected by the restrictive measures on the use of ART in medical care-infertile women and men-are not taken into consideration with any seriousness. On the contrary, government and legislators pay too much attention to the ethical opinions of the Catholic Church. Government intervention in Germany is highly problematic because there is no sufficient justification of the reasons behind restrictions on parental autonomy and the procreative freedom of women and men. Moreover, the restrictions are not consistent across an array of similar cases and are not applied equally to all (they differ depending on whether the embryo is in vivo or in vitro and healthy or unhealthy). Instead of an interventionist approach which protects the embryo against its own potential mother, it would be more sensible to adopt the “women-centered” approach already suggested by several authors (see for instance Freedman & Isaacs, 1993, Himmel & Michelmann, 2007). It holds that both the mother and embryo have to be at the centre of bioethical and legal considerations, instead of there being an exclusive reliance on ethical principles and expert opinions with regard to the embryo alone
One bit/s/Hz Spectrally Efficient Transmission for an Eight-Channel NRZ-Modulated DWDM System
Authors: Vij Robin , Sharma Neeraj 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThe core of the global telecommunication network consists of wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) optical transmission systems. WDM is the technology of choice as it allows for a high spectral efficiency. We propose an effective way to counter the nonlinearities like four-wave mixing and cross-phase modulation to achieve the spectral efficiency of 1 bit/s/Hz using non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation format. We use the concept of non-uniform channel spacing and non-uniform power assignment between adjacent channels of the WDM system. We have simulated an eight-channel WDM lightwave system with bit rates of 10 and 25 Gbit/s.
Energy performance assessment with empirical methods: application of energy signature
Authors: Belussi L. , Danza L. , Meroni I. , Salamone F. 
Published: April 2015

AbstractEnergy efficiency and reduction of building consumption are deeply felt issues both at Italian and international level. The recent regulatory framework sets stringent limits on energy performance of buildings. Awaiting the adoption of these principles, several methods have been developed to solve the problem of energy consumption of buildings, among which the simplified energy audit is intended to identify any anomalies in the building system, to provide helpful tips for energy refurbishments and to raise end users’ awareness. The Energy Signature is an operational tool of these methodologies, an evaluation method in which energy consumption is correlated with climatic variables, representing the actual energy behaviour of the building. In addition to that purpose, the Energy Signature can be used as an empirical tool to determine the real performances of the technical elements. The latter aspect is illustrated in this article.
New frontiers for infrared
Authors: Corsi C. 
Published: April 2015

ÀbstractInfrared (IR) science and technology has been mainly dedicated to surveillance and security: since the 70’s specialized techniques have been emerging in thermal imaging for medical and cultural heritage diagnostics, building and aeronautics structures control, energy savings and remote sensing. Most of these applications were developed thanks to IR FPAs sensors with high numbers of pixels and, actually, working at room temperatures. Besides these technological achievements in sensors/ receivers, advanced developments of IR laser sources up to far IR bands have been achieved in the form QCL (quantum cascade laser), allowing wide band TLC and high sensitivity systems for security. recently new sensors and sources with improved performances are emerging in the very far IR region up to submillimeter wavelengths, the so called terahertz (THz) region.A survey of the historical growth and a forecast of the future developments in Devices and Systems for the new frontier of IR will be discussed, in particular for the key questions: “From where and when is IR coming?”, “Where is it now?” and “Where will it go and when?”. These questions will be treated for key systems (Military/Civil), key devices (Sensors/ Sources), and new strategic technologies (Nanotech/TeraHertz).

Laser-plasma extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray sources based on a double stream gas puff target: interaction of the radiation pulses with matter
Authors: Bartnik A. 
Published: April 2015

AbstractIn this work a review of investigations concerning interaction of intense extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) pulses with matter is presented. The investigations were performed using laser-produced plasma (LPP) EUV/SXR sources based on a double stream gas puff target. The sources are equipped with dedicated collectors allowing for efficient focusing of the EUV/SXR radiation pulses. Intense radiation in a wide spectral range, as well as a quasi-monochromatic radiation can be produced. In the paper different kinds of LPP EUV/SXR sources developed in the Institute of Optoelectronics, Military University of Technology are described.Radiation intensities delivered by the sources are sufficient for different kinds of interaction experiments including EUV/SXR induced ablation, surface treatment, EUV fluorescence or photoionized plasma creation. A brief review of the main results concerning this kind of experiments performed by author of the paper are presented. However, since the LPP sources cannot compete with large scale X-ray sources like synchrotrons, free electron lasers or high energy density plasma sources, it was indicated that some investigations not requiring extreme irradiation parameters can be performed using the small scale installations. Some results, especially concerning low temperature photoionized plasmas are very unique and could be hardly obtained using the large facilities.
A Manifesto for an Introspective Digital Archaeology
Authors: Huggett Jeremy 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThis paper presents a grand challenge for Digital Archaeology of a different kind: it is not technical
in and of itself, it does not seek out technological solutions for archaeological problems, it does not propose
new digital tools or digital methodologies as such. Instead, it proposes a broader challenge, one which
addresses the very stuff of archaeology: an understanding of how digital technologies influence and alter our
relationships with data, from their creation and storage ultimately through to the construction of archaeological
knowledge. It argues that currently this area is under-theorised, under-represented, and under-valued, yet it is
increasingly fundamental to the way in which we arrive at an understanding of the past.
The Role of Exemplars and Lexical Frequency in Rendaku
Authors: Sano Shin-Ichiro 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThis paper examines the relationship between lexical frequency and phonological processes, focusing on rendaku in Japanese. Recently, the effect of lexical frequency on linguistic processes, either direct or indirect, has been confirmed in a growing body of studies. However, little attention has been paid to the potential effect of lexical frequency on rendaku. With this background, I examined the effect of lexical frequency on the applicability of rendaku, and developed an analogy-based model by incorporating lexical frequency. The results demonstrate (i) that lexical frequency affects the applicability of rendaku, (ii) less frequent compounds follow the existing patterns that the exemplar offers, and (iii) that rendaku is psychologically real; in other words, rendaku is productively applied to innovative forms, and such an application can be accounted for by the current model.
Consolidation and swell characteristics of dispersive soils stabilized with lime and natural zeolite
Authors: Savaş Hasan 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Many engineering structures such as dam embankments, road way embankments have suffered serious erosion problems and have failed due to the presence of the dispersive soils. Different additives are used to control the dispersivity properties of these soils. In this study, the effects of lime and natural zeolite on the consolidation and swell characteristics of dispersive clay soils were investigated. For this purpose, identification and compaction tests were carried out on the soil samples. Dispersivity, swell and consolidation tests were performed on the specimens prepared by standard Proctor energy and constant lime content levels (2%, as a percentage of dry weight of the soil), the percentage (0%, 1%, 3%, 6%, 10%, 15% and 20%) of a mixture of natural zeolite additives. As a result of this study, it is shown that the dispersive soils can sufficiently be treated using lime and natural zeolite. From the test results, 2% lime and 3% natural zeolite was the most effective stabilizer in decreasing swell and compressibility potential of dispersive soils.

Published: April 2015

AbstractWith both the advantages like attacking close targets and the disadvantages especially like dynamic coupling, helicopter deserves more investigations these days. This paper did dynamic study both in a simplified and a multi-degree of freedom, comprehensive helicopter model, so that to reveal the law of torsional vibration. In the simplified model, the law how arbitrary parameter affects the first-order vibration mode, is discussed. Then, the validation is done in a multi-degree of freedom model by means of the fast Fourier transformation (FFT) method. In this case, how the low-frequency vibration mode relates with the first-order vibration mode is clearly presented, as well as the research direction to design a filter. Lastly, a simple filter is designed with some simulations.
Numerical Study of a Fuel Centrifugal Pump with Variable Impeller Width for Aero-engines
Authors: Wang Bin , Guan Huasheng , Ye Zhifeng 
Published: April 2015

AbstractAs typical pump with large flow rate and high reliability, centrifugal pumps in fuel system of aero-engines mostly regulate flow rate by flow bypass, which leads to low efficiency and large fuel temperature rise especially at low flow rate. An innovative fuel centrifugal pump with variable impeller width is a more effective way to regulate flow rate than flow bypass. To find external characteristics of the centrifugal pump with variable impeller width proposed in this paper, flow domain within the pump is simulated numerically and some primary performance parameters and their correlation are analyzed. Results show that flow rate of the pump can be regulated by variable impeller width and that efficiency for this scheme is higher than that for flow bypass. The higher outlet static pressure the pump runs at, the wider range of flow rates can be obtained with stronger nonlinear relationship between flow rate and impeller width.

Conversion to Christian Philosophy—the case of Origen’s School in Caesarea
Authors: Jacobsen Anders-Christian 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
In this article I will discuss whether the teaching and preaching of Origen should be understood as aiming at a conversion to philosophy. The idea that Origen’s teaching can be understood this way is inspired by Gregor Thaumaturgus-or Gregory the Wonderworker as he is called in English.1 In his address2 to Origen and his fellow pupils when he left Origen’s school in Caesarea Gregory describes what happened to him in Origen’s school as a kind of conversion. Reading Gregory’s address one can get the impression that his conversion was a conversion to philosophy more than a conversion to Christianity or to a certain kind of Christian theology. In a shorter form, Eusebius mentions something similar. At this background it is reasonable to ask what Gregory could have meant by his description, and whether such a description of Origen’s work can be confirmed and substantiated by Origen’s own writings. I will focus on Origen’s activities in Caesarea, but these will be seen in the context of what we know about his own education and his teaching in Alexandria in the period before he moved to Caesarea.
Crucifixion in the West: From Constantine to Recceswinth
Authors: Granger Cook John 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACT
Die Forschung geht - gegen wenige abweichende Meinungen - im Allgemeinen davon aus, dass Konstantin die Kreuzigungspraxis beendete. Der Aufsatz erfasst die Anhaltspunkte für Kreuzigungen im Westen aus patristischen, juristischen und literarischen Quellen von der Zeit Konstantins bis zur Verkündung der Lex Visigothorum durch Rekkeswinth im Jahr 654. Konstantin strebte wahrscheinlich das Ende der Praxis an; nach seinem Tod verschwinden Hinweise auf offiziell verhängte Kreuzigungen bis zur Eroberung Spaniens durch die Muslime. Dabei bestehen Parallelen zwischen Konstantins Vorgehen in Fragen der Kreuzigung und seinem Streben danach, die Gladiatorenspiele (besonders die damnatio ad ludum) zu beenden, was aber erst nach drei weiteren Generationen christlicher Kaiser gelang.
Edition. „Siehe, Magier kamen aus dem Osten“: Eine Paraphrase der Magier-Perikope aus dem Matthäusevangelium (Mt 2,1-12)
Authors: Förster Hans 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACT
A Coptic paraphrasing of one of the Gospels from the White Monastery contains a narration based on the so-called magi pericope from the Gospel of Matthew (Mt 2:1- 12). It focuses this story onto the fight between Herod, a worldly King, and Jesus as the “King of Heaven.” This strengthens the parallels between the magi pericope and the Passion. Herod is identified with Pontius Pilate, and the phrase: “King of the Jews” which is focused throughout the Passion is integrated into the magi pericope. Some elements of the text indicate a liturgical usage in Egypt. Palaeographic analysis suggests dating it back to the 9th or 10th century C.E.
Galen und Asklepios
Authors: Brockmann Christian 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThis paper examines the ties between temple healing and the scientific practice of medicine and healing in Antiquity as exemplified in the writings of Galen of Pergamon. This prominent physician, while representing a medical science based on rational principles, seeking precise knowledge of all the workings of the human body and aiming to establish a well-founded and comprehensive therapeutic method, nevertheless considers himself a disciple of Asklepios. Galen’s reference to “our fatherly god Asklepios,” invoking their common Pergamene home, attests to his respect for and close link to the deity. In the face of rare or particularly challenging illnesses or impending vital decisions, Galen the scientist recurs to divine counsel, received from Asklepios by way of dreams. In closing, this paper contrasts the relationship of the scientific practitioner of medicine to his art’s god with the enthused, all-encompassing and directing devotion to Asklepios as extolled in the works of the orator Aelius Aristides, particularly in his
