BackgroundDeveloping evidence for the implementation and scaling up of mental healthcare in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) like Ethiopia is an urgent priority.AimsTo outline a mental healthcare plan (MHCP), as a scalable template for the implementation of mental healthcare in rural Ethiopia.MethodA mixed methods approach was used to develop the MHCP for the three levels of the district health system (community, health facility and healthcare organisation).ResultsThe community packages were community case detection, community reintegration and community inclusion. The facility packages included capacity building, decision support and staff well-being. Organisational packages were programme management, supervision and sustainability.ConclusionsThe MHCP focused on improving demand and access at the community level, inclusive care at the facility level and sustainability at the organisation level. The MHCP represented an essential framework for the provision of integrated care and may be a useful template for similar LMIC.

Abstract
California’s central coast differs from many agricultural areas in the U.S., which feature large tracts of monoculture production fields and relatively simple landscapes. Known as the nations salad bowl, and producing up to 90% of U.S. production of lettuces, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, this region is a mosaic of fresh vegetable fields, coastal meadow, chaparral shrubs, riparian and woodland habitat. We tested for relationships between the percent cover of crops, riparian and other natural landscape vegetation and the species richness of parasitic wasps and flies foraging in crops, such as broccoli, kale and cauliflower, and interpreted our results with respect to the decrease in natural habitat and increase in cropland cover prompted by a local microbial contamination event in 2006. Our key results are that: (1) as cropland cover in the landscape increased, fewer species of parasitoids were captured in the crop field, (2) parasitoid richness overall was positively associated with the amount of riparian and other natural vegetation in the surrounding 500m, (3) different groups of parasitoids were associated with unique types of natural vegetation, and (4) parasitism rates of sentinel cabbage aphid and cabbage looper pests were correlated with landscape vegetation features according to which parasitoids caused the mortality. Although individual species of parasitoids may thrive in landscapes that are predominantly short season crops, the robust associations found in this study across specialist and generalist parasitoids and different taxa (tachinid flies, ichneumon wasps, braconid wasps) shows that recent food safety practices targeting removal of natural vegetation around vegetable fields in an attempt to eliminate wildlife may harm natural enemy communities and reduce ecosystem services. We argue that enhancing biological diversity is a key goal for transforming agroecosystems for future productivity, sustainability and public health.

Rent: Constructing community
Authors: Smith Kristen 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Can a community – a culture – produce change and evidence ‘transformative practice’? This paper investigates the process by which marginalized individuals incite change through the means of language within their cultural communities. The musical Rent is the case study. In Community: Pursuing the Dream, Living the Reality, Suzanne Keller reveals recurrent elements of community: communities have shared territory, ideals, allegiances, and collective frameworks. All of these elements of community are featured in Rent. In Rent, there are three prominent manifestations of community: the AIDS Community, New York City Community, and America as Community. Each of these three manifestations evidence Michel Foucault’s three power struggles. Rent demonstrates the struggle against domination that the AIDS community faces as a result of being marginalized and disenfranchised. Additionally, Rent exposes the struggle against exploitation of residents during gentrification of the Lower East Side of New York City. Furthermore, Rent evidences America’s attempt and failure at constructing a community, subjecting its citizens to a dominant capitalist society and forcing its citizens into submission. Ultimately, Rent challenges America’s dominant ideology through the creation of a counter-discourse. The very act of challenging a dominant ideology is a powerful act. Rent evidences that community constructed through creativity and defined by love can inspire change.

Aims. To study at greater than before material the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in relatives of suffering from T2DM patients with cancer and compare the features of antidiabetic therapy in cancer patients with a familial and non-familial form of diabetes.Materials and Methods. Information about diabetes history in family was collected during two subsequent periods (May 2009-February 2011 and March 2011-July 2014 years) in cancer patients (totally,1955 people; 1351 of them with T2DM and 604 without diabetes), as well as in patients with T2DM without cancer (n=379). All patients answered questions about diabetes in their mothers, fathers, siblings, and other relatives. In cancer patients with T2DM, data on the type of antidiabetic therapy for at least 6 months prior to enrolling into the hospital were collected.Results. A lower frequency of family diabetes in diabetic patients with cancer (28,5±1,2% vs 38,0±2,5%, p0.01 in T2DM without cancer) was revealed. By 2011–2014 the prevalence of family diabetes was grown significantly and virtually in a similar degree in both groups (+17,9% in ‘T2DM with cancer’ and +19,3% in ‘T2DM without cancer’). T2DM patients with cancer and family history of diabetes used metformin prior hospitalization more often than same patients without familial T2DM.Conclusion. Reaffirming the earlier data on more infrequent occurrence of family diabetes in T2DM patients with cancer compared with T2DM patients without cancer, we were able to demonstrate roughly the same increase in the detection of familial diabetes in these groups of patients in a rather short period of time. The use of metformin – one of the potential factors contributing to the probable and unexpected decrease of cancer risk in T2DM patients with familial type of diabetes. Other possible causes of this phenomenon deserve further study in view of the growing epidemic of diabetes and obesity.
Evaluation of the reflective practice programme
Authors: Nelumbu Lucia 
Published: October 2015

It was obvious that the developed programme would be evaluated after the implementation process. The programme was evaluated after four months of implementation on the application of the content of the programme.Â The researcher organised a focus group discussion for the registered nurses in order to gain information regarding the implementation of the developed programme. The participants were invited on basis of their participation in the previous implementation and training workshop of the reflective practice programme. The participants concluded that this is an effective and fruitful approach for all health providers, which is helping them to identify their mistakes and to reflect on their daily practice in order to make improvements. This approach assists them on how to set priorities and assign tasks to other colleagues to work as a team. Moreover this programme helped the registered nurses to know how to assist the patients even when they did not call for help and also to realize the need to attend to the patientsâ€™ calls immediately. This programme also drew the attention of the registered nurses to the necessity of treating patients as human beings.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
The validation of each simulation code used in foundry domain requires individual approach due to its specificity. This validation can by elaborated on the basis of experimental results or in particular cases by comparison the simulation results from different codes. The article concerns the influence of grey cast iron density curve and different forms of solid fraction curve Fs=f(T) on the formation of shrinkage discontinuities. Solid fraction curves applying Newtonian Thermal Analysis (NTA) were estimated. The experimental and numerical simulation tests were performed on the castings, which were made with Derivative Thermal Analysis (DerTA) standard cups. The numerical tests were realized using NovaFlow&Solid (NF&S), ProCast and Vulcan codes. In this work, the coupled influence of both curves on the dynamics of the shrinkage-expansion phenomena and on shrinkage defects prognosis in grey cast iron castings has been revealed. The final evaluation of the simulation systems usefulness should be based on validation experiment, preceded by comparing the simulation results of available systems which are proposed in given technology.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Liquid moisture transport of textile structures has been studied in order to manage human perspiration well. This article deals with investigation of dynamic moisture transport of knitted fabrics by sophisticated methods, such as moisture management tester (MMT), thermography and microtomography systems. Three groups of knitted fabrics were analysed by the above-mentioned methods. Specifically, the distribution of liquid drops on samples was compared with the results of vertical wicking of tested materials and the parameter of three-dimensional fabric porosity. Both dynamic spreading of liquid drops on the surface of samples (from top and bottom sides simultaneously) and vertical wicking behaviour of textiles were analysed by the combination of thermography and image analysis system. Further, the results from MMT and porosity analysis by microtomography system were investigated to specify the interaction between structure parameters of knitted fabrics and their liquid transport properties which influence total wear comfort.

Authors: Gorinchoy Natalia 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
It is shown that the bending of FCN and FNC molecules adsorbed on Si (100) - (2 × 1) surface, is due to the Renner-Teller effect induced by the orbital charge transfers by adsorption. From ab initio calculations of free FCN and FNC and the molecules adsorbed on the model Si9H12 cluster, the orbital charge transfers to and from the molecules were calculated, the vibronic coupling constants were estimated, and the curvature K of the adiabatic potentials for the bending coordinate of adsorbed molecules was evaluated. Calculations show that for both side-on adsorbed species, as well as for end-on adsorbed FNC molecule K<0 that leads to their bending. For the end-on adsorbed FCN K>0, and this molecule remains linear

Authors: Cotăescu Ion I. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
It is shown that the isometry group of the de Sitter spacetime includes two different three-dimensional Abelian subgroups which transform between themselves through a discrete isometry corresponding to the time reversal in the five-dimensional Minkowski spacetime embedding the de Sitter one. The eigenfunctions of the generators of these Abelian subgroups form two different sets of quantum modes correlated by the mentioned isometry.

Abstract
The kinetics of the sputtered atoms from the metallic target as well as the time-space distribution of the argon metastable atoms have been investigated for DC and high power pulse magnetron discharge by means of Tunable Diode – Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TD-LAS) and Tunable Diode – Laser Induced Fluorescence (TD-LIF). The discharge was operated in argon (5-30 mTorr) with two different targets, tungsten and aluminum, for pulses of 1 to 20 μs, at frequencies of 0.2 to 1 kHz. Peak current intensity of ~100 A has been attained at cathode peak voltage of ~1 kV. The mean velocity distribution functions and particle fluxes of the sputtered metal atoms, in parallel and perpendicular direction to the target, have been obtained and compared for DC and pulse mode.

Abstract
Simulate the behavior of a quarter car suspension system with Simulink®. Consider only vertical movement of the car, neglecting roll and pitch. All movements of the car axes are modeled as having equal amplitude. The characteristic equations that describe the behavior of dynamical systems based on FBD (Free Body Diagram) of automotive suspension. We make the simulation model in six steps. In simulation we consider the damping coefficient, c, variable. The rest of parameters are constant (mass, speed and stiffness). The simulation parametrs are defined in Mathlab®. We follow the final signal created on the oscilloscope. At the end of the study, we concluded the effect of damping coefficient changes over the comfort.

Authors: Georgieva Penka V. , Popchev Ivan P. , Stoyanov Stanimir N. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Portfolio management is a process involving decision making in dynamic and unpredictable environment. Asset allocation plays a key role in this process, since the optimal use of the capital is a complex and resource-consuming problem. During our research in this field we have detected some problems that lead to biased results and one of them occurs in case of limited financial resources. In this paper a mathematical assessment of the dependence of the capital, used on asset prices is derived, and a multi-step procedure for asset allocation, aiming at optimization of the investor’s utility in case of limited resources is described. The procedure is implemented as a module in a decision support system based on fuzzy logic. The paper contains comparison of the obtained test results with results from the classical Markowitz portfolio model. The conducted tests are on real data from the Bulgarian stock exchange.
Selecting Discriminative Binary Patterns for a Local Feature
Authors: Li Yingying , Tan Jieqing , Zhong Jinqin 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The local descriptors based on a binary pattern feature have state-of-the-art distinctiveness. However, their high dimensionality resists them from matching faster and being used in a low-end device. In this paper we propose an efficient and feasible learning method to select discriminative binary patterns for constructing a compact local descriptor. In the selection, a searching tree with Branch&Bound is used instead of the exhaustive enumeration, in order to avoid tremendous computation in training. New local descriptors are constructed based on the selected patterns. The efficiency of selecting binary patterns has been confirmed by the evaluation of these new local descriptors’ performance in experiments of image matching and object recognition.
Effects Of Herbicides And Fungicides On The Soil Chitinolytic Activity. A Molecular Docking Approach
Authors: Vlădoiu Diana Larisa , Filimon Marioara Nicoleta , Ostafe Vasile , Isvoran Adriana 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
A molecular docking study was undertaken using the programs SwissDock and PatchDock to assess the interactions of the bacterial chitinases belonging to the GH18 and GH19 families with two herbicides (chlorsulfuron and nicosulfuron) and two fungicides (difenoconazole and drazoxolon). Both molecular docking programs predict that all considered pesticides bind to the active sites of chitinases produced by soil microorganisms. There are correlations for predicted binding energy values for receptor-ligand complexes obtained using the two programs consolidating the prediction of the chitinases-pesticides interactions. The interactions of chitinases with pesticides involve the same residues as their interactions with known inhibitors suggesting the inhibitory potential of pesticides. Pesticides interact stronger with chitinases belonging to the GH18 family, their active sites reflecting higher polarity than those of the GH19 chitinases. Also, herbicides reveal a higher inhibitory potential to bacterial chitinases than fungicides.
