The Variant Approach To The Optimization Of The Postal Transportation Network In The Conditions Of The Slovak Republic
Authors: Madleňák Radovan , Madleňáková Lucia , Štefunko Jozef 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
The optimizing process of the postal transportation network can be based on several variables and on different infrastructures. The most commonly used variables for optimization are time and distance. This article is focused on the comparison of the results of the optimization process based on the time and distance variables in the conditions of the Slovak national postal operator.
The different types of the underlying infrastructures (roads or railways) could be used for optimization based on the territory conditions. For the optimization, there has been used the p-median method, that describes the problem of locating P “facilities” relative to a set of “customers” in such a way that the sum of the shortest demand weighted distance between “customers” and “facilities” is minimized.
In the conclusion, the article authors will formulate the rule for selection of the best optimization variables for the postal transportation network optimization.
Tetrahedral boronates as basic catalysts in the aldol reaction

Published: June 2015

Abstract

β-Hydroxyketones are versatile building blocks in organic synthesis, which can be conveniently synthesized from ketones and aldehydes by aldol reactions. Unfortunately, these reactions often suffer from dehydration of the initially formed β-hydroxyketones. Previously, tetrahedral 3,5-difluorophenylborate was shown to be an efficient and selective catalyst for this reaction. The present investigation concerns the catalytic performance of phenyl borates with different substitution patterns in the aldol reaction. It appears that the dehydration reaction can be suppressed by selecting substituents and substituent positions with reduced electron withdrawing effects on the borate function. Optimal suppression of the dehydration of β-hydroxyketones was obtained for compounds corresponding to phenylboronic acids with a pK
a > 7. The reactions between benzaldehyde and butanone or 3-pentanone did not show diastereoselectivity, which suggests that the catalysts merely act as bases rather than as templates for the transition state of the aldol reaction. Sterically more demanding ketones were not converted.
The New Ethicist and the Old Bookkeeper: Isaak Dorner, Johann Quenstedt, and Modern Appropriations of Classical Protestantism
Authors: Purvis Zachary 
Published: June 2015

AbstractThis paper examines various nineteenth-century appropriations of classical Protestantism, the age of post-Reformation confessionalization and orthodoxy. I focus on an important source from the 1850s, namely Isaak AugustDorner’s famed essay on the problemof divine immutability. Though Karl Barth and others fixated on Dorner’s constructive arguments for God’s immutability in ethical and not metaphysical or essential terms, the role that Dorner assigned to the seventeenth-century Lutheran scholastic Johann Andreas Quenstedt remains neglected. I contextualize Dorner’s essay and stance toward classical Protestantism and argue that he rhetorically obfuscated Quenstedt’s discussion of the claim that God does not change. At the same time, his own interaction withQuenstedt belied his statements to the effect that the dogmatic works of the seventeenth century were outdated. Dorner’s essay thus serves as an insightful case study into the complex and myriad ways in which Protestant theologians of Europe’s revolutionary era viewed seventeenth- century Lutheran and Reformed sources both critically and constructively.
Erich Przywara on Sieg-Katholizismus, bolshevism, the Jews, Volk, Reich and the analogia entis in the 1920s and 1930s
Authors: Peterson Paul Silas 
Published: June 2015

AbstractWhile Erich Przywara’s philosophical theology, or theological philosophy, and especially his Analogia Entis (1932) has been the subject of some research, less is known about the broader cultural and political framework of his thought in the 1920s in the Weimar Republic and in the 1930s during the NS period. Here Przywara is presented in context of his unique religious, political and social milieu (for example, the turn from “cultural inferiority” to culture Catholicism). His writings on social, religious and political issues (for example, bolshevism), including his account of the analogia entis concept, are brought into relationship with his context and some of his contemporaries. Przywara’s reflections on the Reich are analyzed and his engagement with the popular Volk concept is also addressed in connection with his anti-Semitism.

Gender and educational level modify the relationship between workplace mistreatment and health problems: a comparison between South Korea and EU countries: Minsang Yoo, et al. Department of Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, Seoul National University, Republic of KoreaObjectiveThis study investigated effects of workers’ cultural and personal characteristics on the relationship between workplace mistreatment and health problems in both South Korea and EU Countries.MethodsData were obtained from nationally representative interview surveys: the third Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) in 2011 (50,032 participants) and fifth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) in 2010 (41,302 participants). The Pressure‐State‐Response model was adapted to explore differences in the relationship between mistreatment and health problems according to country, and logistic regression analysis was used after stratification of moderating factors. Workplace mistreatment, such as discrimination, violence, harassment, and self‐reported health problems, were assessed by gender and educational level.ResultsAmong KWCS participants, there were 4,321 victims (14.70%) of workplace mistreatment; among EWCS participants, there were 5,927 victims (17.89%). There was a significant positive association between workplace mistreatment and self‐reported health problems. A stronger association was found among workers with higher educational levels in Korea (2‐ to 4‐fold higher odds for mental and physical health problems), but there was no significant difference by education level in workers of EU Countries. Female Koreans who worked alone had a higher risk of health problems related to workplace mistreatment than other gender compositions in the workplace (the OR for psychological symptoms reached 6.631). In contrast, the gender composition of the workplace did not significantly affect EU workers.ConclusionsWorkplace mistreatment is significantly associated with physical and mental health problems, especially among workers with higher educational levels and females who work alone in Korea.
CRÍTICA DEL CONCEPTO DE EXERGÍA
Authors: Mora Casal René Alejandro 
Published: June 2015

La exergía es un concepto que, desde su invención hace sesenta años, ha ido ganando popularidad y extendiéndose más allá de las aplicaciones de Ingeniería. Sin embargo, un estudio a profundidad del concepto revela la existencia de problemas e inconsistencias, tanto de tipo teórico como de aplicación. En este artículo se discuten seis problemas identificados: notación ambigua, estados de referencia ambiguos, aplicabilidad a procesos reales, redundancia con respecto a otras propiedades termodinámicas, inconstencia entre los conceptos de exergía y de trabajo perdido, y la aplicabilidad de los resultados del análisis exergético. Se proponen posibles caminos de solución para estos problemas, siendo el quinto el de más difícil solución porque requiere redefinir qué es la exergía.
Familiäres Auftreten der Dermatomyositis bei Working Kelpies
Authors: Rüfenacht S. , Welle M. M. , Thom N. , Röthig A. 
Published: June 2015

ZusammenfassungAcht eng verwandte Mitglieder einer Linie von Working Kelpies zeigten Symptome einer Dermatomyositis in Form von Alopezie, Krusten, Ulzerationen der Haut, Depigmentation von Nasenspiegel und Lefzen, Onychodystrophie und Muskelatrophie, vor allem der Kaumuskeln. Die Symptome waren bei den betroffenen Tieren unterschiedlich stark oder nur teilweise ausgeprägt. Die klinische Diagnose wurde bei drei Hunden durch histologische Untersuchung von Hautbioptaten, nicht jedoch Muskelbioptaten bestätigt. Therapeutisch kamen verschiedene immunmodulatorische Medikamente (Steroide, Ciclosporin, Mycophenolat-Mofetil, Pentoxifyllin, Doxycylin/Niacinamid, Omega-3-Fettsäuren, Vitamin E) mit unterschiedlichem Erfolg zum Einsatz. Bei der Dermatomyositis handelt es sich um eine immunvermittelte Erkrankung mit genetischem Hintergrund bei Mensch und Hund. Die verantwortlichen Gene sind weitgehend unbekannt. Für die Hunderassen Collie und Shetland Sheepdog besteht eine Prädisposition. Zudem wird eine familiäre Häufung beim Beauceron beschrieben. Da die Rasse Working Kelpie im 19. Jahrhundert aus schottischen Hunden des Collie-Typs entstanden ist, wäre eine genetische Prädisposition für die Dermatomyositis erklärbar.
Food Price and Trade Policy Evolution Since the 1950s: A Global Perspective1
Authors: Anderson Kym 
Published: June 2015

In both rich and poor countries, food markets have been subjected to some of the most heavy‐handed governmental interventions. Policy developments in this sector since the 1950s have been mostly gradual but persistent, involving in many cases a change from taxing to subsidizing farmers—and from subsidizing to taxing food consumers—as national per capita incomes grow. In a few important countries there also have been transformational policy reforms, and in all countries there tends to be only partial short‐run transmission of international price fluctuations to domestic markets—a tendency that has not declined over time. This paper summarizes indicators of these trends and fluctuations in price‐distorting impacts of policies for a sample of 82 countries, using a global set of annual data from 1955 to 2011. It then draws implications for what policy interventions might evolve over coming years, especially as emerging economies attain and move beyond middle‐income status.JEL codes: F13, F14, N50, Q17, Q18
Deep band modulation and noise effects
Authors: Shetty Hemanth Narayana , Mendhakar Akshay 
Published: June 2015

The present study aimed to assess the effect of deep band modulation on phrase perception in younger and older adult groups under different signal-to-noise ratios.

Study design:
A deep band modulation algorithm was used, which increases the modulation depth of the stimuli to reduce the effect of temporal deficits experienced by older adults. Fifteen listeners in each group of younger and older adults participated in the study. A repeated measures design was utilized to investigate the perception of unprocessed and deep band modulated phrases in different signal-to-noise ratios (–9, –7, –5, –3 and –1dB SNR) in the two groups.

Results:
The deep band modulated phrase perception was significantly better than the unprocessed phrase perception in all SNRs, both in younger and older adult groups. In addition, unprocessed phrase perception was significantly better in the younger adult group than the older adult group. Although deep band modulated phrase perception scores in the younger adult group were better than for the older adults on average, the difference did not reach statistical significance (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the deep band modulated phrase perception scores from different SNRs in the older adult group were found to be close to the unprocessed phrase perception scores in the younger adult group.

Conclusion:
The findings of the present study indicate that deep band modulation may improve speech perception in noise in older adults.
A Lower Bound on the Euler–Poincaré Characteristic of Certain Surfaces of General Type with a Linear Pencil of Hyperelliptic Curves
Authors: Ishida Hirotaka 
Published: June 2015

AbstractLet S be a surface of general type. In this article, when there exists a relatively minimal hyperelliptic fibration whose slope is less than or equal to four, we give a lower bound on the Euler–Poincaré characteristic of S. Furthermore, we prove that our bound is the best possible by giving required hyperelliptic fibrations.
Infinitely Many Rotationally Symmetric Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Laplace–Beltrami Equations on Spheres
Authors: Castro Alfonso , Fischer Emily M. 
Published: June 2015

AbstractWe show that a class of semilinear Laplace–Beltrami equations on the unit sphere in ℝn has inûnitely many rotationally symmetric solutions. The solutions to these equations are the solutions to a two point boundary value problem for a singular ordinary differential equation. We prove the existence of such solutions using energy and phase plane analysis. We derive a Pohozaev-type identity in order to prove that the energy to an associated initial value problem tends to infinity as the energy at the singularity tends to infinity. The nonlinearity is allowed to grow as fast as |s|p-1s for |s| large with 1 < p < (n + 5)/(n − 3).

SummaryBackground: Nursing care is facing exponential growth of information from nursing documentation. This amount of electronically available data collected routinely opens up new opportunities for secondary use.Objectives: To present a case study of a nursing intelligence system for reusing routinely collected nursing documentation data for multiple purposes, including quality management of nursing care.Methods: The SPIRIT framework for systematically planning the reuse of clinical routine data was leveraged to design a nursing intelligence system which then was implemented using open source tools in a large university hospital group following the spiral model of software engineering.Results: The nursing intelligence system is in routine use now and updated regularly, and includes over 40 million data sets. It allows the outcome and quality analysis of data related to the nursing process.Conclusions: Following a systematic approach for planning and designing a solution for reusing routine care data appeared to be successful. The resulting nursing intelligence system is useful in practice now, but remains malleable for future changes.Citation: Hackl WO, Rauchegger F, Ammenwerth E A Nursing Intelligence System to Support Secondary Use of Nursing Routine Data.

Published: June 2015

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. To define neonatal social characteristics related to autism risk.
METHOD. Sixty-two preterm infants underwent neonatal neurobehavioral testing. At age 2 yr, participants were assessed with the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers and Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd edition.
RESULTS. Positive autism screening was associated with absence of gaze aversion, χ = 5.90, p =.01, odds ratio = 5.05, and absence of endpoint nystagmus, χ = 4.78, p = .02, odds ratio = 8.47. Demonstrating gaze aversion was related to better language outcomes, t(55) = −3.07, p ≤ .003. Displaying endpoint nystagmus was related to better language outcomes, t(61) = −3.06, p = .003, cognitive outcomes, t(63) = −5.04, p &lt; .001, and motor outcomes, t(62) = −2.82, p = .006.
CONCLUSION. Atypical social interactions were not observed among infants who later screened positive for autism. Instead, the presence of gaze aversion and endpoint nystagmus was related to better developmental outcomes. Understanding early behaviors associated with autism may enable early identification and lead to timely therapy activation to improve function.
Self-Administered, Home-Based SMART (Sensorimotor Active Rehabilitation Training) Arm Training: A Single-Case Report
Authors: Hayward Kathryn S. , Neibling Bridee A. , Barker Ruth N. 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
This single-case, mixed-method study explored the feasibility of self-administered, home-based SMART (sensorimotor active rehabilitation training) Arm training for a 57-yr-old man with severe upper-limb disability after a right frontoparietal hemorrhagic stroke 9 mo earlier. Over 4 wk of self-administered, home-based SMART Arm training, the participant completed 2,100 repetitions unassisted. His wife provided support for equipment set-up and training progressions. Clinically meaningful improvements in arm impairment (strength), activity (arm and hand tasks), and participation (use of arm in everyday tasks) occurred after training (at 4 wk) and at follow-up (at 16 wk). Areas for refinement of SMART Arm training derived from thematic analysis of the participant’s and researchers’ journals focused on enabling independence, ensuring home and user friendliness, maintaining the motivation to persevere, progressing toward everyday tasks, and integrating practice into daily routine. These findings suggest that further investigation of self-administered, home-based SMART Arm training is warranted for people with stroke who have severe upper-limb disability.

Meelzaak – beperking aansprakelijkheid investeringsmaatschappijen door ACM?
In deze bijdrage wordt ingegaan op de ACM-besluiten inzake Bencis en CVC van 30 november 2014. Met deze besluiten heeft ACM, in navolging van de praktijk van de Europese Commissie, voor het eerst investeringsmaatschappijen beboet voor een inbreuk begaan door een dochtervennootschap. In eerste instantie is alleen de dochtervennootschap, Meneba, aansprakelijk gehouden voor een gestelde kartelinbreuk. In twee nieuwe besluiten zijn Bencis en CVC, beide investeerders, alsnog beboet als gevolg van de inbreuk begaan door hun dochtervennootschap Meneba. De besluiten roepen een aantal interessante vragen op, waaronder met betrekking tot (1) de – in lijn met Europese jurisprudentie – lage standaard die ACM toepast voor toerekening van de inbreuk aan moedervennootschappen, in lijn met recente Europese jurisprudentie; (2) het nemen van een nieuw besluit ten aanzien van de moedervennootschappen; en (3) de wijze van omzetberekening voor de boete.
Jeugddelinquentie in vergelijkend perspectief

Juvenile delinquency in comparative perspective: do micro and macro analyses tell the same story?
This article presents a micro- and a macro-level analysis of predictors of delinquency in order to contribute to the discussion about the micro-macro problem in criminology. We use Coleman’s boat (1990) to situate our research question. Individual theories dominate the field of delinquency, there are few theories at macro level. Cross-level theoretical integration primarily takes place between individual (micro) and community (meso) levels, and hardly ever on (national) macro level. Our question is to which extent macro-level theory fruitfully may use concepts drawn from micro-level theory. We test a micro and a macro model using indicators from the domains of family, school, friends/peers and economy, using data collected by the Second International Self-Report Study of Delinquency (ISRD2), a cross-national self-report survey of delinquency and victimization among students between 12 and 16 years in 30 countries (n=71.436). Dependent variable at micro level is versatility (last year), at the macro level (national) we use contacts with the police for youths under 18. Results confirm the importance of including macro context (country clusters) in the analysis of individual delinquency. We further conclude that factors related to family and friends correlate at both micro and macro level with measures of delinquency; the role of school and economic factors is less clear-cut. The article concludes with the recommendation to give the micro-macro problem in delinquency theory a more central and explicit position in research programs.
Een beschouwing van de ontwikkeling van het internet en cybercriminaliteit en de gevolgen hiervan voor de internationale bestrijding van digitale kinderporno
Authors: van der Bruggen Madeleine 
Published: June 2015

A review on developments of the Internet and cybercrime and consequences for the international fight against digital child abuse
The explosive growth of the Internet has led to countless new possibilities, and it opened the way for societal progress and an extensive globalization and digitization. However, the original ambition of the Internet as a free, open and neutral medium has also led to new possibilities in the field of crime. The current paper illustrates how governments dealt with the development of the Internet and it gives an explanation for why and how unintended side effects have manifested in society. Using the phenomenon of digital child abuse, this paper offers recommendations for an effective government response and for an effective detection of and fight against cybercrime.
Van secularisering naar securitisering

From secularization to securitization: considering the relation between religion, crime and security
The Western world seems to be a secular one. Although secularization has long roots, from the sixties onwards the role of religion in public life has diminished. How did that affect the crime and security issue? Criminological literature learns that there is a two-sided relationship: (1) in a religious context there is an inhibiting effect of being religious; and (2) religion can also legitimize or neutralize criminal or violent behavior – for example in the case of Islam-related terrorist acts. Secularization did indeed contribute to the rise of crime; in nowadays secular context religion can – the other way around – legitimize criminal behavior. The author argues that secularization also has facilitated the growth of the security issue as such. Fear of crime was the driving force behind a process in which secularization resulted in securitization of Western society.
Interactions between Health Care Personnel and Parents Approached for Organ and/or Tissue Donation: Influences on Parents' Adjustment to Loss
Authors: Ashkenazi Tamar , Cohen Jonathan 
Published: June 2015

Context— The effect of loss on those approached for organ and/or tissue donation, particularly in the years thereafter, has received little attention. Objective— To assess whether adjustment of a parent to loss of a child is influenced by interactions with health care personnel. Methods— A self-administered questionnaire was completed by the parents of 216 decedents. Interactions in the hospital were assessed by examining the experience in the hospital, physical separation from the child, and the relationship with health care professionals. Adjustment to loss was defined by 4 components: grief, personal growth after loss, meaning of life after loss, and the meaning of organ donation. Results— A positive experience in the hospital was significantly associated with the meaning of donation. Increased satisfaction with the separation process was associated with better adjustment on all components. Finally, a better relationship with health care professionals was associated with less grief and with greater personal growth. These results were characterized after adjustment for time since loss, which was from 6 months to 27 years. Conclusions— Interactions in the hospital appear to influence adjustment to loss significantly. Appropriate interventions may aid parents in their adjustment to life.
