Novel Nanodispersed Polymer Complex, Poly(nickel 1,1,2,2-ethenetetrathiolate): Preparation and Hybridization for n-Type of Organic Thermoelectric Materials
Authors: Oshima Keisuke , Shiraishi Yukihide , Toshima Naoki 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Although the polymer complex, poly(nickel 1,1,2,2-ethenetetrathiolate) (Ni-PETT), is an interesting n-type organic thermoelectric material, it is insoluble in all kinds of solvents. We prepared nanoparticles of Ni-PETT (n-Ni-PETTs) using a surfactant, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, as an additive during the synthesis of the polymer complex. The n-Ni-PETTs were well dispersed in an organic solvent like N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and could provide smooth, tough, and flexible n-type thermoelectric films by hybridization with poly(vinyl chloride).
Removal, Separation, and Recovery of Mixed Ionic Dyes by Solvent Extraction Using Reverse Micellar Systems
Authors: Yi Shixiong , Sun Sheng , Dai Fangyin 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
The mixed ionic dyes anionic Color Index (CI) Reactive Blue 19 and cationic CI Basic Red 14 in aqueous solution were removed and separated by solvent extraction using reverse micellar systems. The results obtained by ultraviolet–visible spectra indicated that the dyes could be removed totally for the attractive force between dyes and counter-ionic surfactant. The recovered dyes were reused for dyeing fibers, which exhibited good dyeing property.

Authors: Teng Yang , Liu Zhilin , Zhang Kai , Chen Honggang , Yang Yongping 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
The determination of adsorption thermodynamics at low CO2 partial pressure is of great significance. The Langmuir–Freundlich model is used to fit the adsorption isotherms of activated carbon (AC) and amine-modified AC. The isosteric heat and average heat of CO2 adsorption on AC are calculated. The result could benefit the subsequent process development and equipment energy optimization.
Polymerization of a Disubstituted Acetylene Using Palladium Catalysts
Authors: Rodriguez-Castanon Jesus , Murayama Yukako , Sano Natsuhiro , Sanda Fumio 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Novel palladium complexes bearing a di-tert-butyl(4-substituted phenyl)phosphine ligand were synthesized and employed as catalysts for the polymerization of 1-chloro-2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)acetylene. Polymers were obtained as THF-soluble (weight-average molecular weights: 5100–59800) and insoluble parts, which were considered to be lower and higher molecular weight polyacetylenes. The catalytic activity increased as increasing the electron-withdrawing character of the substituent on the phosphine ligand.
Mining Dump Truck Noise Sources and Mitigation Approaches
Authors: Azimi M. , Shafaei S. M. 
Published: June 2015

In order to reduce noise-induced hearing loss from work-related noise exposure, mine workers, union representatives, mine managers, equipment manufacturers must work in partnership to successfully construct and implement new and better noise controls. On new machines, cabin noise levels are not normally a problem. Insulation around engines and fans greatly reduces noise and sound-proofing of the cab can keep operator exposure well below 85 dB(A). In other words, over time, exposure to noise levels at or above 85 decibels can lead to permanent hearing loss. However, the benefits of soundproofing will be lost if windows and doors are not kept closed and low noise output air-conditioning units might be needed. This article is concerned with the main sources of noise in dump trucks used for mining application and also the noise reduction methodologies.
Prodigal, wayward: Orson Welles and adapting Richard Wright’s Native Son
Authors: Schwenn Thomas A. 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Orson Welles’s 1941 stage production of Richard Wright’s Native Son (1940) serves as a prime example of his sensitivities. Welles’s involvement in the project exemplifies his life-long interest in topical and controversial American subjects, as well as literary adaptations. More importantly, however, it appears as a special moment in which he fused his passion for realist techniques, with those more associated with expressionism. Welles’s Native Son then appeared as a confrontational exercise in terms of theatricality and adaptation. This article traces Welles’s involvement with Wright’s celebrated novel, describes the production and its relationship to the novel, and aims to situate it within Welles’s dynamic career.
Predictor of Metabolic Syndrome: A community study from Urban Delhi, India
Authors: Bansal Astha , Joshi P.C. 
Published: June 2015

<p>The aim of the present study is to assess and compare the presence of metabolic syndrome using IDF and Modified NCEP ATPIII criteria among Sunni Muslim of Delhi and to determine the optimal cut off values of different parameters for the detection of metabolic syndrome. A total of, 406 individuals (125 men, 281women) aged 35-65 years were recruited. Anthropometric, blood pressure and laboratory investigations were performed following the standard protocols. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves of waist circumference, serum triglycerides, High density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose were created for the determination of the metabolic syndrome and the area under curve (AUC) was evaluated to determine the predictive efficiency of each variable of metabolic syndrome. The cut off values of each parameter with corresponding sensitivity, specificity, Youden index and likelihood ratios were estimated. </p><p>The overall metabolic syndrome assessed through Modified NCEP ATP III was 75.12% while through IDF criterion it was 75.36%. Majority of the participants were equally identified by both definitions. The metabolic syndrome was higher in women as compare to men using both the criteria. The area under curve (AUC) shows that serum triglycerides have highest predictive ability for metabolic syndrome in modified NCEP ATP III and IDF. The population specific cut off values of different variable to detect metabolic syndrome was formed. Although these result may not apply to rest of Indian population due to multi ethnicity but similar studies with large sample size to find the cut off values of parameter for metabolic syndrome is needed for better detection and prevention. </p><p align="left"><strong> </strong></p>
Partial regularity for mass-minimizing currents in Hilbert spaces
Authors: Ambrosio Luigi , De Lellis Camillo , Schmidt Thomas 
Published: June 2015

AbstractRecently, the theory of currents and the existence theory for Plateau’s problem have been extended to the case of finite-dimensional currents in infinite-dimensional manifolds or even metric spaces; see [Acta Math. 185 (2000), 1–80] (and also [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 106 (2013), 1121–1142], [Adv. Calc. Var. 7 (2014), 227–240] for the most recent developments). In this paper, in the case when the ambient space is Hilbert, we provide the first partial regularity result, in a dense open set of the support, forn-dimensional integral currents which locally minimize the mass. Our proof follows with minor variants [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 31 (1982), 415–434], implementing Lipschitz approximation and harmonic approximation without indirect arguments and with estimates which depend only on the dimensionnand not on codimension or dimension of the target space.
A simple and highly sensitive method of measuring heme oxygenase activity
Authors: Liem Pham Hieu , Mu Anfeng , Kikuta Shun-ichi , Ohta Kazushi , Kitajima Sakihito , Taketani Shigeru 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Heme oxygenase (HO) is a rate-limiting step of heme degradation, which catalyzes the conversion of heme into biliverdin, iron, and CO. HO has been characterized in microorganisms, insects, plants, and mammals. Previously used assays of HO activity were complicated and had low sensitivity. We found that the use of an eel bilirubin-bound fluorescent protein, UnaG, can achieve a highly sensitive and simple assay of HO activity. Using several enzyme sources including human culture cells, homogenates of plant tissues, and recombinant yeast HO, data were successfully obtained. The present method can facilitate the examination of HO in various organisms.
The aerodynamic puzzle of nasalized fricatives: Aerodynamic and perceptual evidence from Scottish Gaelic
Authors: Warner Natasha , Brenner Daniel , Schertz Jessamyn , Carnie Andrew , Fisher Muriel , Hammond Michael 
Published: June 2015

AbstractScottish Gaelic is sometimes described as having nasalized fricatives (/ṽ/ distinctively, and [f̃, x̃, h̃], etc. through assimilation). However, there are claims that it is not aerodynamically possible to open the velum for nasalization while maintaining frication noise. We present aerodynamic data from 14 native Scottish Gaelic speakers to determine how the posited nasalized fricatives in this language are realized. Most tokens demonstrate loss of nasalization, but nasalization does occur in some contexts without aerodynamic conflict, e.g., nasalization with the consonant realized as an approximant, nasalization of [h̃], nasalization on the preceding vowel, or sequential frication and nasalization. Furthermore, a very few tokens do contain simultaneous nasalization and frication with a trade-off in airflow. We also present perceptual evidence showing that Gaelic listeners can hear this distinction slightly better than chance. Thus, instrumental data from one of the few languages in the world described as having nasalized fricatives confirms that the claimed sounds are not made by producing strong nasalization concurrently with clear frication noise. Furthermore, although speakers most often neutralize the nasalization, when they maintain it, they do so through a variety of phonetic mechanisms, even within a single language.

Sufism and Anti-Colonial Violent Resistance Movements: The Qadiriyya and Sanussi Orders in Algeria and Libya
Authors: Muedini Fait 
Published: June 2015

AbstractIn this article, I examine the role of Sufism (and Sufi leaders) as they relate to anti-colonial political and military resistance movements. Sufism is often viewed as a non-violent and non-political branch of Islam. However, I argue that there are many historical examples to illustrate the presence of anti-colonialist Sufi military movements throughout the “Muslim World,” and I give particular attention to the cases of ‘Abd al-Qadir of the Qadiriyya movement and his anti-colonialist rebellion against France in Algeria in the 1800s, as well as that of Italian colonialism in Libya and the military response by the Sanussi order. Thus, while Sufism clearly has various teachings and principles that could be interpreted to promote non-violence, Sufi political movements have also developed as a response to colonialism and imperialism, and thus, one should not automatically assume a necessary separation from Sufism and notions of military resistance.
Ahimsā and its Ambiguities: Reading the story of Buddha and Aṅgulimāla
Authors: Thompson John 
Published: June 2015

AbstractThis paper focuses on the story of the Buddha’s encounter with Angulimāla, a vicious brigand who, subdued by the Buddha, renounces his outlaw ways for the monastic life, eventually attaining arahant status. The tale of Angulimāla has proven quite popular in Buddhist history and is often cited as evidence of how under the Dhamma no one is beyond salvation. Yet this story poses problems for our understanding and as such, has been repeatedly (sometimes radically) re-interpreted over the years. Taking my cue from literary theorists, I maintain that these retellings encourage us to read the story in its various incarnations as an on-going narrative struggle with issues surrounding violence, suggesting a fundamental ambivalence towards violence (and the much-touted virtue of
The Violence of Conversion: Proselytization and Interreligious Controversy in the Work of Swami Dayananda Saraswati
Authors: Bauman Chad M. 
Published: June 2015

AbstractCritics of Christianity in India have frequently accused Christianity of being a predatory, imperialistic religion with absolutist tendencies, and have framed Christian evangelism as an aggressive, uncouth act. More recently, however, and in an idiom that resonates with many contemporary Indians, Swami Dayananda Saraswati (1930-) has made the more controversial claim that the attempt to convert another person is itself an act of violence. In three parts, the paper 1) describes Dayananda’s claims, while bringing them into conversation with the arguments of earlier critics of Christianity (e.g., Mahatma Gandhi, Sita Ram Goel, Ashok Chowgule, Arun Shourie), 2) analyzes and critique Dayananda’s use of the term “violence,” and 3) demonstrate how the claim that conversion is an act of violence blurs somewhat easily into a justification of acts of violence against those who attempt to convert others. In the end, I argue that whether Dayananda’s claim that proselytization is a form of violence makes sense depends not only on one’s definition of “violence,” but also on one’s definition of “religion.”

Zusammenfassung
Deutschland ist ein Zuwanderungsland. Hier lebende Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund sollten den gleichen Zugang zu gesundheitsbezogenen Leistungen haben wie die gesamte Bevölkerung. Es bestehen jedoch noch Zugangshindernisse sowie Unterschiede im Nutzungsverhalten und bei den gesundheitlichen Ergebnissen. Diversity Management wird als eine Strategie diskutiert, um unterschiedliche Bedarfe und Bedürfnisse zu berücksichtigen und gesundheitliche Chancengleichheit zu erreichen.
Migration und Schwangerschaft: Aspekte der Prävention und Versorgung
Authors: Sievers Erika 
Published: June 2015

Zusammenfassung
17,6% der Neugeborenen in Deutschland hatten im Jahr 2013 eine Mutter nicht-deutscher Nationalität. Im früheren Bundesgebiet mit Berlin-Ost sind dies 19,7%; in den neuen Bundesländern 5,0%. Perinatale Mortalität und Säuglingssterblichkeit sind Indikatoren für die prä-, peri- und postnatale Qualität der Versorgung. Bei ausländischen Kindern in Deutschland sind sie erhöht. Prävention und Versorgung in der Schwangerschaft müssen der kulturellen und sprachlichen Diversität angepasst sein und insbesondere immigrierenden Frauen ein adäquates Angebot bieten.
Perinataldaten bei Migrantinnen – besser, schlechter oder gleich gut?
Authors: David Matthias 
Published: June 2015

Zusammenfassung:
In den Ländern, die in den 60er Jahren eine Gastarbeiterpolitik praktizierten, wurde dem Thema „Migration und Gesundheit“ bis vor Kurzem nur wenig Bedeutung beigemessen, da man annahm, dass es sich um ein vorrübergehendes Phänomen (Rotations-, Rückmigration) handeln würde. Anders wurde dies Frage in den alten Einwanderungsländern wie den USA, Kanada und Australien gewichtet, wo das öffentliche Gesundheitswesen und die Forschung sich bereits relativ früh mit der Frage, ob und wie sich Migrationsprozesse auf die Gesundheit – auch die perinatale – von Zuwanderern auswirken, beschäftigten.
Die Entwicklung des Rauchverhaltens im Kontext der Migration nach Deutschland
Authors: Reiss Katharina , Spallek Jacob , Razum Oliver 
Published: June 2015

Zusammenfassung
Das Rauchverhalten zwischen dem jeweiligen Herkunftsland der Zuwanderer und dem Zielland Deutschland unterscheidet sich. Als Resultat des mit der Migration einsetzenden Akkulturationsprozesses findet eine geschlechtsspezifische Anpassung an die Rauchmuster der Männer und Frauen in Deutschland statt. Bei einer Migration von der Türkei nach Deutschland steigt die Rauchprävalenz der zugewanderten Frauen, diejenige der Männer sinkt. Folglich sollten Präventionsprogramme zugewanderten Frauen helfen, in Deutschland nicht mit dem Rauchen zu beginnen und zugewanderte Männer dabei unterstützen, mit dem Rauchen aufzuhören.

Authors: Salman Ramazan 
Published: June 2015

Zusammenfassung
Migranten haben im Vergleich zur Mehrheitsbevölkerung insgesamt schlechtere Gesundheitschancen. Hierauf wurde mit verschiedensten Programmen und Maßnahmen reagiert. Dabei wurde jedoch die Stärkung der Gesundheitskompetenzen der Migranten selbst vernachlässigt. Das vom Ethno-Medizinischen Zentrum entwickelte MiMi-Programm als effektive Integrationstechnologie befähigt Migranten durch die Vermittlung von Gesundheitswissen dazu, Verantwortung für Ihre Gesundheit zu übernehmen und vorhandene Versorgungsangebote besser für sich zu nutzen.
Migration and occupational health: high work-related burden
Authors: Brzoska Patrick , Razum Oliver 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Migrants are at a higher risk for occupational accidents, occupational diseases, short-term disability and early retirement than employees of the majority population. This is particularly the case for individuals of Turkish origin. Measures of prevention and health promotion that are sensitive to the needs of migrants need to be implemented in companies and the health care system to improve occupational health and to address consequences resulting from a higher work-related burden in this population group.

Die Zahl der migrierten Ärzte in Deutschland nimmt zu. Bei ihrer Integration in lokale Behandlungsteams können Probleme auf medizinischer und kommunikativer Ebene auftreten. Dieser Beitrag zeigt, dass Konflikte zwischen migrierten Ärzten und dem Ärzte- und Pflegeteam über Aufgaben, Zuständigkeiten und Verantwortlichkeiten der einzelnen Gesundheitsberufe häufig als Mangel an Kompetenzen der migrierten Ärzte interpretiert und nicht auf die divergierende berufliche Sozialisation zurückgeführt werden.
The machinability of Al/B4C composites produced by hot pressing based on reinforcing the element ratio
Authors: Ekici Ergün , Gülesin Mahmut 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
In this study, the effects of the particle reinforcement ratio on cutting forces and surface roughness were investigated when milling particle-reinforced metal matrix composite (MMCp) produced by hot pressing with different cutting tools. Alumix 123 alloy as the matrix material and B4C particles with an average size of 27 μm and 5%, 10% and 15% ratio as reinforcing elements were used for the manufacture of composite materials. The experiments were carried out in dry cutting conditions with four different cutting speeds, constant feed rate and depth of cut. Changes depending on the increased reinforcement ratio in cutting forces and surface roughness values were investigated; the effects of 10% B4C reinforced composite on tool wear were also examined. It was observed that cutting forces increased with the increase in cutting speed and particle ratio with carbide cutting tools, and it was seen that the cutting forces on the cutting tools decreased when cutting speed decreased and the cutting forces increased as the reinforcement ratios increased. In addition, with increasing the cutting speed, the surface roughness of the machined surfaces of composite samples increased with the carbide tools, while the cubic boron nitride (CBN) tools have the opposite effect. While it was seen that flank and crater wear occurred on the cemented carbide cutting tools, abrasive, adhesive and other wear mechanism tools in addition to the main wear mechanism, no remarkable flank and crater wear occurred on CBN cutting tools.
“Capitalism a nuh wi fren.” Global Justice and Capitalism inLife and DebtandCronicamente Inviável
Authors: Bender Stephanie 
Published: June 2015

AbstractColonial structures, such as the triangular trade between Britain, West Africa, and the Caribbean, have served as a breeding ground for the development of global capitalism and its beneficiaries, who continue their political domination via economic institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. Even without the colonial structures to support it, capitalism as an economic practice and ideology also fails on a functional, ethical, and moral level to foster justice and enhance the common good, as capitalism critic Christian Felber points out. Stephanie Black’s documentaryLife and Debt(2001) and Sergio Bianchi’s feature filmCronicamente Inviável(2000) likewise discuss capitalism’s inability to connect with concepts of justice, as their examples of Jamaica and Brazil, two post-colonial countries that share historical and social similarities despite their different positions in the current global economy, show. While Jamaica inLife and Debtserves as a case study of enforced economic and political dependence through the IMF by means of an extension of colonial hierarchies,Cronicamente Inviávellooks at the ideological side of capitalism embedded in the microcosm of Brazilian society.
Selling Poverty: Junot Díaz’s and Edwidge Danticat’s Assessments of Picturesque Stereotypes of Poverty in the Caribbean
Authors: Zipp Georg 
Published: June 2015

AbstractTaking the topos of the Caribbean as paradise as point of departure, this article analyses how Edwidge Danticat’sClaire of the Sea Lightand Junot Díaz’sThe Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Waore-write the stereotype of the paradisiacal and picturesque islands. This entails that literary texts and novels, as a form of armchair tourism, potentially offer a form of engagement with poverty in which the voyeuristic gaze can be deflected. Complex literary texts can be a ‘safer’ form of exploring, vicariously experiencing, and thinking about poverty.
