The molding of mediatization: The stratified indispensability of media in close relationships
Authors: Jansson André 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThis article presents a quantitative analysis of how different socio-cultural factors, including lifestyle, affect the extent to which different media are perceived as indispensable for maintaining close relations with family and friends. Through applying ‘indispensability’ as an indicator of the mediatization of social life, the study provides a concrete illustration of how mediatization is continuously molded through socio-cultural processes in everyday life. The results are based on a national survey conducted in Sweden and show that e-mail and video calls constitute a culturally distinctive ensemble of communication, especially in comparison to online chat functions and Facebook. E-mail is valued especially among people with higher education who lead globally oriented lifestyles thus testifying to the enduring status of text-based communication in the longer format as a cultural marker. The study thus suggests that the modalities of communication that certain media make possible are important to how these media are perceived as
An innovative ecological hybrid refrigeration cycle for high power refrigeration facility
Authors: Cyklis Piotr , Janisz Karina 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Searching for new refrigerants is one of the most significant scientific problems in refrigeration. There are ecological refrigerants commonly known: H2O and CO2. H2O and CO2 known as natural refrigerants, but they have problems:a high freezing point of H2O and a low triple point of CO2. These problems can be solved by the application of a hybrid sorption-compression refrigeration cycle. The cycle combines the application possibility of H2O in the high temperature sorption stage and the low temperature application of CO2 in the compression stage. This solution gives significant energy savings in comparison with the two-stage compressor cycle and with the one-stage transcritical CO2 cycle. Besides, the sorption cycle may be powered by low temperature waste heat or renewable heat. This is an original idea of the authors. In the paper an analysis of the possible extension of this solution for high capacity industrial refrigeration is presented. The estimated energy savings as well as TEWI (Total Equivalent Warming Impact) index for ecological gains are calculated.
Drying of red beetroot after osmotic pretreatment: Kinetics and quality considerations
Authors: Kowalski Stefan J. , Łechtańska Joanna M. 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
This article presents experimental studies on drying kinetics and quality effects of red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) after convective drying with a preliminary osmotic pretreatment. The effects of the osmotic agent (NaCl) concentration and the osmotic bath time on the product colour and nutrient content preservation, the water activity, and rehydration ability after drying were analysed. Osmotic dehydration curves and Solid Gain (SG), Water Loss (WL), Weight Reduction (WR) were determined. It was proved that drying of beetroot with osmotic pretreatment contributes to shorter drying time, smaller water activity, higher retention of betanin, better colour preservation, and a greater degree of water resorption.
Sampling related issues in pod-based model reduction of simplified circulating fluidised bed combustor model
Authors: Bizon Katarzyna 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Over the last decades the method of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) has been successfully employed for reduced order modelling (ROM) in many applications, including distributed parameter models of chemical reactors. Nevertheless, there are still a number of issues that need further investigation. Among them, the policy of the collection of representative ensemble of experimental or simulation data, being a starting and perhaps most crucial point of the POD-based model reduction procedure. This paper summarises the theoretical background of the POD method and briefly discusses the sampling issue. Next, the reduction procedure is applied to an idealised model of circulating fluidised bed combustor (CFBC). Results obtained confirm that a proper choice of the sampling strategy is essential for the modes convergence however, even low number of observations can be sufficient for the determination of the faithful dynamical ROM.
New and interesting records of Drosophilidae (Diptera) from the Czech Republic and Slovakia / Nové a zajímavé nálezy octomilkovitých (Diptera: Drosophilidae) z České republiky a Slovenska
Authors: Máca Jan , Roháček Jindřich , Ribeiro Vilela Carlos , Březíková Milena 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Records of six species of the family Drosophilidae from the Czech Republic are presented. Drosophila tripunctata Loew, 1862, reported from the Old World long ago on the basis of a wrong determination, is newly confirmed from the region (Czech Republic: Bohemia); although this finding originates from a greenhouse, the record is important because this thermotolerant species has a potential to spread outdoors in Central Europe. Cacoxenus indagator Loew, 1858 is for the first time recorded from North Moravia (Czech Silesia) in the Czech Republic and Cacoxenus argyreator Frey, 1932 from Slovakia. Mycodrosophila poecilogastra (Loew, 1874) is new addition to the fauna of Bohemia, Drosophila (Sophophora) helvetica Burla, 1948 and Drosophila (Sophophora) suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) are new for Moravia.

Design for Affect: A Core Competency for the 21st Century
Authors: Chitturi Ravindra 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Consumers purchase products with the objective of reducing pain, increasing pleasure or both. Product aesthetics primarily contribute to enhancing consumer pleasure, and utilitarian attributes, such as product functionality, primarily help reduce consumer pain. So the question is how consumers choose between the goals of reducing pain and enhancing pleasure. In the case of functional dominance, consumers attach greater importance to fulfilling their minimum utilitarian needs over their minimum hedonic ones. By contrast, if consumers have to choose between two products, and one product meets their minimum functional requirement but exceeds their minimum aesthetic expectations, while the other meets their minimum aesthetic expectations but exceeds their minimum functional requirement, they select the product with superior aesthetics. A balanced design with an optimal combination of attributes and emotional experiences will reach a greater price on the market and insure higher profits.
Beyond Aesthetics: Seeing Form and Believing in Function
Authors: Hoegg JoAndrea 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Research on the effect of design has tended to emphasize the aesthetic dimension of product form and its global, spontaneous, and even unconscious influence on overall product evaluation. But apart from the aesthetic aspect of design, product form has additional effects on consumer perception.
When a product’s design suggests a particular level of functional performance, it can alter consumer judgment, even in the presence of ostensibly more objective written information.
This finding does not only apply to a product’s overall impression, but also to how consumers evaluate individual product features. For a target feature, the presence of pictures altered the relative functional performance ratings in favor of the presented designs, but for non-target features the presenceof the picture had no effect. Hence, product form can communicate functional performance independently of global attractiveness. These insights have important implications for design creation and communication as well as for consumers. They highlight yet again the importance of close cooperation between product development, marketing and design.
How Good is Your User Experience? Measuring and Designing Interactions
Authors: Wildner Raimund , Kittinger-Rosanelli Christine , Bosenik Tim 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Form and function are important dimensions of consumer choice, but there is more in our increasingly digital world. It is not only products per se that need to be designed but the whole interaction between consumers and brands. The whole UX or user experience is more important than ever before. Digitalism nowadays is everywhere, and even mundane products are becoming more digital (e.g. ovens), while others evolve that are purely digital (e.g. PayPal).
The question is: How can we effectively measure and design interactions in this highly digital and complex environment? For quite a long time “usability” was the one and only measure on the agenda. But consumer experience goes far beyond ease of use or high functional quality. UX is a complex construct with several dimensions that are covered in GfK´s UX score.
Racks, Leibniz algebras and Yetter–Drinfel'd modules
Authors: Krähmer Ulrich , Wagemann Friedrich 
Published: November 2015

AbstractA Hopf algebra object in Loday and Pirashvili's category of linear maps entails an ordinary Hopf algebra and a Yetter–Drinfel'd module. We equip the latter with a structure of a braided Leibniz algebra. This provides a unified framework for examples of racks in the category of coalgebras discussed recently by Carter, Crans, Elhamdadi and Saito.

Numerical modelling of agricultural products on the example of bean and yellow lupine seeds
Authors: Anders Andrzej , Kaliniewicz Zdzisław , Markowski Piotr 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Numerical models of bean seeds cv. Złota Saxa and yellow lupine seeds cv. Juno were generated with the use of a 3D scanner, the geometric parameters of seeds were determined based on the models developed, and compared with the results of digital image analysis and micrometer measurements. Measurements of seed length, width and thickness performed with the use of a micrometer, 3D scanner and digital image analysis produced similar results that did not differ significantly at α = 0.05. The micrometer delivered the simplest and fastest measurements. The mean surface area of bean seeds cv. Złota Saxa and yellow lupine seeds cv. Juno, calculated with the use of mathematical formulas based on the results of micrometer measurements and digital image analysis, differed significantly from the mean surface area determined with a 3D scanner. No significant differences in seed volume were observed when this parameter was measured with a 3D scanner and determined with the use of mathematical formulas based on the results of digital image analysis and micrometer measurements. The only differences were noted when the volume of yellow lupine seeds cv. Juno was measured in a 25 ml liquid pycnometer.
Study of soil aggregate breakdown dynamics under low dispersive ultrasonic energies with sedimentation and X-ray attenuation

Published: November 2015

AbstractIt has been increasingly recognized that soil organic matter stabilization is strongly controlled by physical binding within soil aggregates. It is therefore essential to measure soil aggregate stability reliably over a wide range of disruptive energies and different aggregate sizes. To this end, we tested highaccuracy ultrasonic dispersion in combination with subsequent sedimentation and X-ray attenuation. Three arable topsoils (notillage) from Central Europe were subjected to ultrasound at four different specific energy levels: 0.5, 6.7, 100 and 500 J cm-3, and the resulting suspensions were analyzed for aggregate size distribution by wet sieving (2 000-63 μm) and sedimentation/X-ray attenuation (63-2 μm). The combination of wet sieving and sedimentation technique allowed for a continuous analysis, at high resolution, of soil aggregate breakdown dynamics after defined energy inputs. Our results show that aggregate size distribution strongly varied with sonication energy input and soil type. The strongest effects were observed in the range of low specific energies (< 10 J cm-3), which previous studies have largely neglected. This shows that low ultrasonic energies are required to capture the full range of aggregate stability and release of soil organic matter upon aggregate breakdown.
Understanding im/politeness across cultures: an interactional approach to raising sociopragmatic awareness
Authors: Haugh Michael , Chang Wei-Lin Melody 
Published: November 2015

AbstractPoliteness is an important aspect of communication, particularly across cultures where misunderstandings can have very negative relational consequences. Yet while various approaches to politeness in the context of second language learning have been developed, such approaches have either been largely atheoretical in their conceptualisation of politeness or have employed models that do not adequately capture participant understandings of politeness across cultures. In this paper, it is argued that an approach encompassing participant understandings of politeness is a more appropriate starting point for raising sociopragmatic awareness about im/politeness across languages and cultures. An interactional approach whereby raising pragmalinguistic awareness about the interactional achievement of particular meanings and actions in interaction is combined with raising sociopragmatic awareness about what underlies evaluations of those meanings and actions as im/polite is advocated. It is argued that raising sociopragmatic awareness in this way provides learners with the means to analyse differences between the politeness systems of their first and second languages, thereby allowing them to make more informed choices in regards to both constituting their L2 identities as well as their relationships with others.

Published: November 2015

AbstractBackground: Anapanasati is one of the meditation techniques discussed in Buddhism. In this meditation, one focuses one’s attention on bodily sensations caused by incoming and outgoing breath. This study aims to track the cumulative effect of long-term meditators (LTM) and short-term meditators (STM) using electrophotonic imaging (EPI).Methods: To execute the current study, 432 subjects (264 men and 168 women with mean age of 34.36±$$ \pm $$6.83) were recruited from two meditation centers. LTM had practiced for more than 60 months (mean of months 111±47·20,hoursperday1·71±1·20)$$ \pm 47. 20\, {\rm{hours per day}} \,\,1. 71 \pm 1. 20)$$. STM had practiced meditation from 6 months to less than 60 months (mean of months 37.17±19·44,hoursperday2·14±4·99)$$ \pm 19. 44\, \,\,{\rm{hours per day}}\,\,{\rm{}}2. 14 \pm 4. 99)$$. A cross-sectional research design was applied and data was collected using EPI. Scatter plot and Fisher discriminant model were also used for statistical presentation of values and interdependency of variables with length of practice between groups.Results: In both LTM and STM, lower values of stress (activation coefficient) were found in woman meditators as compared to men. In both groups, highly significant gender-related differences were observed in integral area parameter, which measures the overall health of an individual. Integral entropy (index of disorderliness of subtle energy in the body) was fluctuating in both groups in both directions for both genders. It was increasing in LTM group and decreasing in STM group with increasing length of practice.Conclusions: Women of LTM and STM demonstrated lesser stress than men. Both groups showed cumulative health-related improvement. Moreover, in gender-related analysis woman meditators exhibited more positive improvement in EPI parameters than men.
Regularization of ill-posed problems by using stabilizers in the form of the total variation of a function and its derivatives
Authors: Vasin Vladimir V. 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Under the assumption that the solution of a linear operator equation is presented in the form of a sum of several components with various smoothness properties, a modified Tikhonov regularization method is studied. The stabilizer of this method is the sum of three functionals, where each one corresponds to only one component. Each such functional is either the total variation of a function or the total variation of its derivative. For every component, the convergence of approximate solutions in a corresponding normed space is proved and a general discrete approximation scheme for the regularizing algorithm is justified.

Published: November 2015

Abstract
Chromatographic resin containing extractants such as octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) or
bis-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (HDEHP) or mixture of extractants (CMPO + HDEHP) in an acrylic polymer matrix was prepared and
studied for the extraction of Am(III) and Eu(III) over a range of nitric acid concentration. The effect of various
parameters such as concentration of nitric acid in aqueous phase and the concentration of CMPO and HDEHP in the resin phase was
studied. The distribution coefficient of Am(III) and Eu(III) in the impregnated resin increased with increased in the
concentration of nitric acid for CMPO-impregnated resin, whereas a reverse trend was observed in HDEHP impregnated resin. In case of
resin containing both the extractants, synergism was observed at low nitric acid concentration and antagonism at high nitric acid
concentration. The mechanism of extraction was probed by slope analysis method at 0.01 and 2 M nitric acid
concentrations. Citrate-buffered DTPA was used for the selective separation of Am(III), and a separation factor of 3–4 was
obtained at pH 3.
The role of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases in the excitotoxicity induced by the overactivation of NMDA receptors
Authors: Sun Yongjun , Chen You , Zhan Liying , Zhang Linan , Hu Jie , Gao Zibin 
Published: November 2015

AbstractProtein tyrosine phosphorylation is one of the primary modes of regulation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. The non-receptor tyrosine kinases are one of the two types of protein tyrosine kinases that are involved in this process. The overactivation of NMDA receptors is a primary reason for neuron death following cerebral ischemia. Many studies have illustrated the important role of non-receptor tyrosine kinases in ischemia insults. This review introduces the roles of Src, Fyn, focal adhesion kinase, and proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 in the excitotoxicity induced by the overactivation of NMDA receptors following cerebral ischemia.
An ideological content analysis of corporate manifestos: A foundational document approach
Authors: Holland Jeremy J. , Nichele Elena 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThis project involves a socio-linguistic look at corporate discourse in the form of “mission statements.” The analysis is performed by utilizing the foundational document model (FDM) as a theoretical framework for performing ideological content analyses. The FDM is a semantic grammatical model consisting of five sociological categories (ethical norms, folklore narrative, utopian schemes, strategic planning, and role attribution). Stark contrasts are observed between manifestos produced by the two most successful companies in the soft beverage industry (Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.). The comparative analysis performed in this study shows great potential regarding a possible extension and application of the content-analytical framework for those primary texts used when mobilizing collective action.
Wittgenstein’s persuasive rhetoric
Authors: Gorlée Dinda L. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractWittgenstein surprised with the rhetorical inversion of his style of writing, often at the expense of thought. In his works, he skillfully constructed the fragmentary paragraphs to solve the “confusions” of language. The result of Wittgenstein’s conscious endeavor is the persuasive effect of new reasoning in the “ornamental” type of the philosophical writings about language. Wittgenstein’s verbal genres are the interplay of deduction, induction, and abduction, formed consciously and subconsciously, following the three categories of Peirce’s semio-logical reasoning. Wittgenstein’s rhetoric changed the first certainty of philosophy into the abductive uncertainty of his later works, keeping the story of Wittgenstein’s reasoning in suspense.
Dialogical sign and symbolic mediation: A quest for meaning and esthetic experience
Authors: Lee Yunhee 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThis paper aims to look at the dialogical character of sign in Peirce, particularly with an emotional-volitional aspect of action-sign to discern how human subjects act and control themselves by virtue of symbolic mediation, representing the dialogic relation of sign. I thus examine the concept of the Peircean symbol as Thirdness, a mediator, and a genuine sign on three levels: expression, representation, interpretation. First, symbol expresses a Quality of dialogical relation between two qualities. Second, symbol represents a dialogical relation between icon being endowed with an internal character and index being endowed with a relative character, so that the symbol represents the indexical relation of the two. Third, symbol interprets the dialogical relation, which has another name of “genuine” symbol with a logical interpretant functioning as interpretative representation. In this way, symbolic mediation is incorporated with dialogic sign relation so as to attain a triadic meaning of action in self-control, thus leading to self-identity and truth. I attempt to show these characteristics of symbolic mediation by means of cinema image as metaphoric mediator, while discussing esthetic experience of the viewer.
