FOREIGN INVESTMENTS AND FISCAL STIMULATION IN UZBEKISTAN
Authors: Yakubova Nargiza 
Published: October 2015

This article analyzes the trends in foreign capital inflows into selected CIS countries, using a documented analysis. The study revealed that despite improved macroeconomic stability and economic growth capital inflow in CIS countries is modest , reflecting a weak overall investment climate in the region. The study results show that private capital inflows into these countries consist mainly of direct investments, and concentrate in the few countries with big oil reserves. Lack of protection for property rights, with threats from corruption, crime, and excessive regulation, was the significant investment impediment cited most frequently in the research. Despite Uzbekistan shows strong growth comparing a weak performance in the broader Europe and Central Asia region, the level of efficiency of using the incentives still remaining low. According the results of the study unconditional and irrevocable tax and customs exemptions are the main reasons for the low efficiency of the incentives. The paper subsequently suggests that fiscal stimulus are only marginally efficient in the absence of effective monetary, exchange-rate, and industrial policies.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) to multiple daily insulin injection (MDI) either with analogues or with human insulin, based on the achieved therapeutic results such as changes in glycated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) in the various therapies. The study was performed with children with type-1 diabetes in Bulgaria. The objective of this study was to serve for the Bulgarian National Health Fund (NHIF).Methods: A combined retrospective and prospective study was performed at the Endocrinology diabetes and genetic diseases clinic.51 children with type-1 diabetes were observed for 7 months diveded into three group: Group 1- on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII); Group 2- on multiple daily insulin analogues injections (MDI) and Group 3 – on human insulin (HI).Patient demographic data, age, sex, weight, duration of disease, HbA1c – values before the start of the study and after the end of the observation and type of treatment (CSII; MDI or HI) were observed. Cost-effectiveness, sensitivity and statistical analyses are applied to studied long-term therapeutic results.Results: The three groups of observed children do not differ statistically in age and gender. Most of the participants in Group 1 and Group 2 have suffered from diabetes from 5,6 years. The duration of diabetes was lower in the group of human insulin. All studied children are treated. By all of them the results of the treatment improved, but in the Group 1 the improvement of HbA1c is the highest. The average improvement of HbA1c in the Group 1 after the CSII introduction is 1.85, while after the application of analogue insulin is 0,59 and 0,28 respectively in the Group 3 after the treatment on human insulin.The cost of insulin pump, consumables- infusion set and insulin reservoir, blood glucose monitoring system, strips, needles and insulin cost was calculated.The total cost ot the treatment of diabetes with insulin pump for 7 months is 2358,85Euro; 856,98 Euro in the Group 2 on MDI and 744,24 Euro for 7 months in the Group 3 on human insulin.The differences in costs and therapeutic results permit to conduct cost- effectiveness analysis by comparing of the three alternatives.Our study shows that the CSII pumps allows better diabetes control compared to the treatment with analogue insulin and human insulin. Insulin pumps are also cost- effectiveness alternative for children with type 1 diabetes.
GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY OF POPLAR SPECIES IN SOUTHEASTERN KAZAKHSTAN
Authors: Sarsekova Dani 
Published: October 2015

A small area of forestation and an acute shortage of timber are reasons to seek ways to improve productivity and the rational use of forests in the territory of Kazakhstan. A deficit in timber can be compensated, to some extent, by planting stands of fast-growing plantation species, including top and hybrid Populus spp, which are commonly referred to as “poplar”.There is an increased interest in poplar, globally, due to its organic traits and the economic value it provides, including:rapid growth and ability to produce wood that is technically suitable for cutting within 20 years of planting;a source of suitable timber for use in most industries;the ability to grow in soils that are not generally suitable for agricultural use;a potential source of timber for widespread use in screening, landscape and recreational plantings; andthe ability of most poplar species and hybrids to asexually propagate.There has been extensive planting of poplar trees in Kazakhstan, especially in the south and south-east. Poplar trees have been planted in populated areas, along roads and in forest stands. However, these plantings are unsuitable as a source of timber for commercial or ornamental purposes. Hence, there is a need to establish plantations of poplar for timber supply in Kazakhstan.The most common types of poplar in this country are the deltoid, Algerian, and Bolle, which were used in the extensive greenery planting of southeastern Kazakhstan. The main factors ensuring high productivity of poplar plantations are the soil conditions of fertility, good aeration and adequate moisture. Results of this study indicate that the greatest height increase occurs in these trees between the age of 5 and 10 years, and for trunk diameter, between the age of 4 and 9 years. After this age, the growth rate gradual declines, with a sharp fall off in the rate noticeable between years 14 and 16. Additionally, results of this study show the high productivity of poplar plantations, in plot sizes 2.5 to 3 m by 1.5 to 2 m, with 2000 – 3000 trees per hectare. This compares with the production of timber mass from stands of 5000 – 7000 trunks per hectare, which leads to rapid growth of trees in height, but an earlier growth reduction in diameter.
Viaje a la semilla: La ruta ibérica de Bigas Luna
Authors: Sanabria Carolina 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The ‘Iberian Portraits’ trilogy is arguably Bigas Luna’s most personal work. After the four-year adventure in an unfamiliar and even hostile environment while working in the United States, the director carefully crafted what would become his bestknown work, especially the first film in the trilogy: Jamón, jamón (1992). The trilogy memorably establishes a link between the feminine and the senses, while implicitly connecting femininity to the earth. All three films also explore a new kind of subjectivity where intimacy is associated with sensuality and is best represented by the consumption of food (and the rituals surrounding it), and the visual attention paid to the different shades of the earth. The trilogy also establishes a contrast between individuality (perhaps bets illustrated in the figure of the unscrupulous social climber of Huevos de oro/Golden Balls [1993]) and collectivity (sublimely exemplified in the castellers that open La teta y la luna/Tit and the Moon [1994]). It is an emotional – rather than geographical – journey that inevitably leads to the nostalgia that taints the lost candour of childhood.
“Sebentas” of History of Modern Architecture: a project for the teaching of History of Architecture
Authors: Rodrigues José Miguel Neto Viana Brás 
Published: October 2015

Resumo Em 2003, Domingos Tavares deu início a um novo projecto editorial intitulado Sebentas de História da Arquitectura Moderna. Como se explica no plano da obra, estas sebentas, em tom monográfico, “traduzem a passagem a escrito do conteúdo das aulas de História da Arquitectura Moderna da FAUP versando o ciclo clássico da arquitectura europeia”. Com a sua concretização nascia uma nova chancela – a Dafne –com ampla e reconhecida obra publicada na área da arquitectura. Parece hoje inquestionável que as Sebentas de História da Arquitectura Moderna pressupõem um projecto de ensino para a História. Como se caracteriza porém esse projecto? Qual o seu ponto de partida e os seus objectivos? Nove anos após o lançamento da primeira Sebenta, pretende-se com este pequeno ensaio analisar e circunscrever o projecto de Domingos Tavares para o ensino da História e, particularmente, o seu valioso contributo para a didáctica do ensino da História da Arquitectura Moderna que, durante décadas, o autor leccionou. Abstract In 2003, Domingos Tavares has begun a new publishing project entitled “Sebentas” of History of Modern Architecture. As explained in the plan of its published work, these “sebentas” (notes taken from lectures and then typed in the form of a book for university students), in a monographic way, “reflects the transcription of the contents of the lectures of FAUP’s History of Modern Architecture regarding the classical circle of the European architecture. Through its attainment a new label emerged – Dafne – with a widely recognized work published in the realm of architecture. Today it seems unquestionable that the “Sebentas” of History of Modern Architecture implies a teaching project for History. However, how can we characterize this project? What is its starting point and its goals? Nine years has gone since the launch of the first “Sebenta”, so this short essay aims to analyse and circumscribe the Domingos Tavares’s project for the teaching of History and, mainly, their valuable contribution to the learning methods of teaching History of Modern Architecture that, for decades, the author lectured.
Inception

Até que ponto o que sabemos, a nossa memória, não é apenas aquilo que os outros querem que seja?Viajar na memória. Aprender através da memória alheia significa ser moldado pelo olhar discreto de outros. A teoria contemporânea de arquitectura surge na década de 1960, produzida por autores como Jane Rendell, Anne Troutman, Beatriz Colomina, Mark Wigley. Através deles pode perceber-se que a memória está associada à publicidade, aos mass media e à consolidação da história. Como Colomina refere, Le Corbusier [a primeira dona de casa de Wisteria Lane] usa a retórica e a manipulação para construir a sua visão da arquitectura (apud Colomina, 1998, p.1850) e Mies van der Rohe [Mad Man] recorre à publicidade para criar uma imagem coerente (apud Colomina, 1994, p.207). A remontagem (apud Tafuri, 1984, p.207) começa. Agora que os segredos são desvendados, aprendemos a (re)construir a memória. At what point our knowledge, our memory, is not just what others want it to be?Walk on memory. Learning through other’s memory means been shape by the discrete gaze of someone else.Contemporary architectural theory emerges in the 60’s, by the hands of authors such as Jane Rendell, Anne Trourman, Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley. Trough them it is possible to acknowledge that memory is associated to publicity, to mass media and to history itself.As Colomina points out, Le Corbusier [the first housewife of Wisteria Lane] uses rethoric and manipulation to build his vision for architecture (apud Colomina, 1998, p.185) and Mies van der Rohe [Mad Man] makes use of publicity to create a consistent image. (apud Colomina, 1994, p. 207).The remontage (apud Tafuri, 1984,p. 207)begins. Now that the secrets are revealed, we learn to (re)build memory. Colomina, B. (1998).

Published: October 2015

The paper will show parts of a shape grammar that uses as corpus the Alberti`s treatise and buildings to see possible influence in Portuguese Architecture. The column systematisation grammar is a grammar of detail and some of the different elements of the column system (base, shaft, capital and entablature) may be connected with different orders (Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite) showing different combinations. This system may be applied to generate some buildings namely Rucellai Loggia and palace facade, Santa Maria Novella Facade, Santa Andrea and specifically the subject of this paper the central nave longitudinal façade of the church São Vicente de Fora in Lisboa. Finally transformations rules are analysed mapping Alberti`s treatise influence in the work of the authors of the generated building. Gramatica da forma da sistematização das ordens da Da arte edificatóriaEste artigo mostra partes de gramatica da forma que usa como corpos o tratado de Alberti bem como alguns dos seus edifícios de modo a verificar a influência daquele autor na Arquitetura Portuguesa. A gramática da sistematização da coluna é uma gramática de detalhe. Alguns dos elementos do sistema da coluna (base, fuste, capitel e entablamento) podem ter elementos de diferentes ordens (dórica, jónica, coríntia e compósita) em diferentes combinações. Este sistema pode ser aplicado gerando a Loggia e a fachada do palácio Rucellai, a Fachada de Santa Maria Novella, nave central da fachada longitudinal da igreja Sant`Andrea e tratado especificamente neste artigo a nave central da fachada longitudinal da igreja de São Vicente de Fora em Lisboa. Finalmente as regras de transformação são analisadas mapeando a influencia do tratado de Alberti no trabalho dos autores do edifício gerado.

Aim. Circulating progenitor endothelial cells (CPCs) play an important role in the regeneration of damaged vascular endothelium. We aimed to study the effect of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) on the number of different lines of CPCs.Methods. The number of different lines of CPCs was evaluated by flow cytometry in 45 patients with type 1 DM (mean age: 26,6±6,5 years) of different duration and 14 healthy volunteers.Results. The number of CPCs in the peripheral blood flow of patients with type 1 DM was significanlty reduced compared with that in healthy volunteers and had a reliable inverse correlation with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c).Conclusions. The number of CPCs in the peripheral blood flow of patients with type 1 DM depended on the level of DM compensation. Of the different lines of CPCs, Lin-CD34+ cells were significantly reduced by 42% (p=0,006), Lin-CD34+c-Kit- cells by 42% (p=0,007) and Lin-CD34+c-Kit+ cells by 41% (p=0,022). Thus, the number of CPCs in the peripheral blood of patients with type 1 DM is reduced with higher levels of HbA1c.

Aim. To compare the clinical and morphological characteristics of chronic diabetic foot ulcers and the markers of repair.Materials and Methods.We included 26 patients with neuropathic diabetic foot syndrome who had signs of severe peripheral neuropathy. Biopsies were performed from the margin and central part of the lesion and were fixed in a 10% formalin solution before being placed on paraffin slides and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. We assessed the percentages of necrotic, granulation and fibrotic tissues and the severity of vascular hyalinosis. Immunohistochemistry was performed with initial antibodies to Ki-67 (a marker of proliferation), smooth muscle actin (a marker of myofibroblast synthesis) and cytokeratin (a marker of epithelisation). For analysis, the samples were divided into three groups by the length of time the ulcer had been present: group 1 (≤90 days; 9 samples), group 2 (91–365 days; 10 samples) and group 3 (365 days; 9 samples).Results. The patients of group 3 were older than those of groups 1 and 2 (53.7±2.7 vs 51.7±5.9 vs 59.9±5.6 years; p=0.04). There were no differences in the duration of diabetes, glycated haemoglobin or severity of neuropathy. The percentage of necrotic tissue was higher in group 1 (33.7%±21.7% vs 11.0%±3.9% vs 12.8%±6.1%; p=0.02) and the percentage of fibrotic tissue was highest in group 3 (21.1%±21.0% vs 35.5%±19.8% vs 54.4%±23.9%; p=0.001). However, the amount of granulation tissue was not different between the groups (45.2%±21.1% vs 53.5%±21.1% vs 32.8%±26.3%; p=0.4). There was also no difference in the severity of vascular hyalinosis between the groups (p=0.9). Expression of Ki-67 was higher in groups 1 and 2, implying a greater capacity to regenerate. The expression of smooth muscle actin and cytokeratin was higher in groups 1 and 2 but without statistical significance.Conclusion. The morphological characteristics and regenerative capacities of neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers differ with the duration the ulcer has been present. Patients with ulcers for less than 1 year were characterised by higher cell proliferation but lower fibrosis. Neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers that are unable to heal over a year are characterised by incomplete regeneration and higher levels of fibrosis. Thus, different treatment approaches are needed depending on how long an ulcer has been present.
Soziale Netzwerke für Wissenschaftler: Anreize und Mehrwerte schaffen für die wissenschaftliche Kommunikation
Authors: Peters Isabella 
Published: October 2015

Zusammenfassung:
Soziale Netzwerke sind prototypische Plattformen des Social Webs und zeichnen sich durch den Social Graph, das sichtbare Beziehungsnetzwerk der Nutzenden, aus. Forschende nutzen immer häufiger Soziale Netzwerke für die wissenschaftliche Arbeit, da die auf den Plattformen bereitgestellten Funktionen die Routinen erleichtern und beschleunigen. Insbesondere solche Sozialen Netzwerke weisen eine hohe Nutzerzahl auf, die einen breiten Funktionsumfang bieten und das Interagieren und Austauschen, Publizieren und Verbreiten und Sich-Präsentieren ermöglichen. Aktivitäten auf Sozialen-Netzwerk-Plattformen tragen zudem zur Verbesserung der wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation bei und schlagen sich z. B. in erhöhten Zitationszahlen nieder.
20 Jahre Neubau – 50 Jahre unter eigenem Dach – 400 Jahre Geschichte
Authors: Weßels Paul 
Published: October 2015

Zusammenfassung:
Die Landschaftsbibliothek in Aurich ist eine der kleinsten geisteswissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken Niedersachsens mit einer 400-jährigen Tradition. Entstanden ist sie um 1600 als Handbibliothek des Administratorenkollegiums der ostfriesischen Landstände. Nach dem Verlust der ostfriesischen Fürstenbibliothek 1746 verkörpert sie heute die Tradition staatlichen Buchbesitzes im äußersten deutschen Nordwesten. Mit dem langsamen Wandel der Ostfriesischen Landschaft zu einem höheren Kommunalverband für Kultur, Wissenschaft und Bildung wurde seit dem 19. Jahrhundert aus der vorwiegend juristisch orientierten Handbibliothek eine allgemeine geisteswissenschaftliche Bibliothek mit dem Schwerpunkt auf dem Fach Geschichte. Erst 1965 – also vor 50 Jahren – konnte die Bibliothek der Ostfriesischen Landschaft ein eigenes Gebäude beziehen, 1995, – also vor 20 Jahren – wurde ein zeitlos moderner, mehrfach prämierter An- und Neubau bezogen. Im Juni 2015 wurde der architektonische Wert dieses Gebäudes erneut unterstrichen, als die Landschaftsbibliothek bei einer Abstimmung der Architektenkammer Niedersachsen unter den 20 bisher prämierten Objekten die meiste Zustimmung erhielt. Der Bestand der Landschaftsbibliothek wird durch das Land Niedersachsen sichergestellt, sie ist Mitglied im GBV und bietet alle Möglichkeiten einer modernen Bibliothek.
Modals and negation: A semantic explanation of the modal suppletion strategy in Chinese
Authors: Sparvoli Carlotta 
Published: October 2015

AbstractThis paper aims at providing a semantic account of the mechanism informing the use of negative modals in standard Chinese. Based on the notion ofmodal suppletion and negation placement strategies(de Haan 1997), it will be shown that:(i)in the negative form each modal takes on its prominent value;(ii)this prominent modal value displays the normative source orientation (Hsieh 2005), where the Situation-oriented normative source can include the Speaker-oriented normative source and, in particular cases in the domain of Possibility, also the Subject-oriented one;(iii)a negative modal admits different modal meanings only if there is no pragmatic conflict between them, as in the case of epistemic and non-epistemic modalities.Moreover, I will show that in non-epistemic modalities the suppletion mechanism is related to the need for normative disambiguation and is characterized by pragmatic exclusion and semantic inclusion (respectively in the Necessity and Possibility domains). In the epistemic area, on the other hand, the mandatory suppletion of the Speaker-oriented adverbs fulfills the condition of semantic well-formedness of the sentence and, for the other epistemic items, a major role is played by the strategy of negation placement (with the result that the syntactic negation mirrors the semantic property of this modality).
施格语言的小句结构
Authors: 天华 罗 
Published: October 2015

提要本文探讨了施格语言小句的一组结构特征, 主要涉及格标记和一致、逆被动结构、双及物结构等三个方面。在对 78 种施格语言进行取样分析的基础上, 得出了施格语言小句结构的 16 条形态、句法共性, 并据此提出名词施格比代词施格更常见、逆被动/被动结构和施格格局之间没有必然联系、双及物结构的次类与施格格局的下位类型关系密切, 等等。文章也指出了汉语非宾格现象与类型学施格格局的差异, 认为前者的本质是动词的及物性问题, 而后者是核心论元与动词之间语法关系的标记模式问题。
