Egypt shifts towards a networked journalism paradigm
Authors: Hamdy Naila Nabil 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
This study attempts to explore the relationship between the role of the traditional press, the output of social media as it emerged during the 25 January 2011 revolution, the 30 June 2011 protests and beyond; and also to determine if the mainstreaming of social media changed journalism practices in Egypt. The findings of this study indicate that there has been a significantly increased flow of citizen-generated content into journalism practice, although there is also a certain amount of resistance to its use. Findings also suggest that a traditional gatekeeping approach is the preferred model for governing this flow; yet, editorial structures and mechanisms to govern this model are not in place generally. Nonetheless, this uncertain transition period appears to harbour the possibility of better quality journalism in a networked future.
Lagrangian F-stability of closed Lagrangian self-shrinkers
Authors: Li Jiayu , Zhang Yongbing 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
In this paper we study the Lagrangian F-stability of closed Lagrangian self-shrinkers in complex Euclidean space.
We show that any closed Lagrangian self-shrinker with first Betti number greater than one is Lagrangian F-unstable.
For a closed Lagrangian self-shrinker with first Betti number equal to one,
we show that Lagrangian F-stability is equivalent to Hamiltonian F-stability.
We also characterize Hamiltonian F-stability of a closed Lagrangian self-shrinker by its spectral property of a drift Laplacian.
Constructing free groups in a normal subgroup of the multiplicative group of division rings
Authors: Gonçalves Jairo Z. 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Let D be a division ring with center k and multiplicative group D
†, and let N be a normal subgroup of D
†. Assuming that N contains a subgroup G which is nonabelian torsion-free polycyclic-by-finite (not abelian-by-finite), we construct a free noncyclic subgroup of N in terms of elements of G. We also show that if char(k) ≠ 2, D is generated over k by the torsion-free polycyclic-by finite group G (not abelian-by-finite), and if it is possible to extend the involution
x*
= x
-1 of G to a k involution of D, then D
† contains a free symmetric pair.

Violently Peaceful: Tibetan Self-Immolation and the Problem of the Non/Violence Binary
Authors: Soboslai John 
Published: June 2015

AbstractThe paper investigates the conceptual dichotomy of violence and nonviolence in reference to the self-immolations that have been taking place in Tibet for the last several years. First using the insights of Hannah Arendt to distinguish between the categories of violent, nonviolent and peaceful, I approach the question of violence as the problem of acts that transgress prohibitions against causing harm. Using that heuristic, I examine the ways multiple ethical systems are vying for recognition regarding the selfimmolations, and how a certain Buddhist ambivalence around extreme acts of devotion complicate any easy designations of the act as ‘violent’ or ‘nonviolent’. I conclude by suggesting how any such classification inculcates us into questions of power and assertions of appropriate authority.
Weshalb ist der Rehabilitationserfolg bei Menschen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund häufig geringer?
Authors: Schott Thomas , Reutin Barbara , Yilmaz-Aslan Yüce 
Published: June 2015

Zusammenfassung:
Maßnahmen der medizinischen Rehabilitation sind bei RehabilitandInnen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund in den meisten Indikationsgebieten häufig weniger effektiv. Die möglichen Gründe liegen in rein sprachlichen Verständigungsproblemen aber auch an kulturellen Differenzen. Dies kann im Fall zum Ausschluss aus sprachbasierten Therapiemodulen oder auch zur aktiven Verweigerung der Teilnahmen an Rehaaktivitäten führen.

Published: June 2015

Abstract
An analysis of dense cements, such as polymer cement concrete, is made to produce original innovative components for different types of constructing materials. These materials present good functional properties (ageing resistance, crack formation resistance, hardness, and stability of mechanical modules) and can be used for various applications. In this paper, experimental tests on Portland cement with added γ-Al2O3 and redispersible dry polymer performed using small angle neutron scattering are reported. The objective of the investigation was to assess the key parameters of the material (e.g., porosity, fractal dimensions, and size distribution) at the nanoscale level as well as to obtain useful structural information for expanding the possibility of applications. The results obtained can contribute to the optimisation of the consistency of the material, the design of operating conditions of elements of structures and facilities, and the design of the procedures that support ecological criteria and enhance quality and safety levels.
Eleventh Dynasty Written Evidence on the ­Relationship between the
k˒͗
and the Cult Image
Authors: Demidchik Arkadiy E. 
Published: June 2015

Summary
The article points to some additional written evidence on the relation between the k˒͗-concept and the cult image. It is argued that connection with the latter was essential and inherent for the ḥw.t-k˒͗ and the service of the ḥm-k˒͗. The inscriptions on JE 46068, BM EA 627 and BM EA 1164, by highlighting the cult image-twt as recipient of the boons provided for the k˒͗, almost equate these two notions, that is best explainable if the cult image was considered as “door” for the k˒͗’s “going forth”. Such revealing deviations from the Old Kingdom written tomb etiquette may have been induced by the rarity of tomb sculpture and some innovations in its use in the First Intermediate Period.
Don’t Do What I Did!
Authors: Fay Biri , Jansen-Winkeln Karl , Parkinson Richard B. 
Published: June 2015

Summary
This small Middle Kingdom sculpture is approximately datable to the reign of King Amenemhat II and is one of the earliest preserved block statues. The inscription added hundreds of years after the statue’s creation, sometime between the Ramesside Period and the Third Intermediate Period reflects the regard in which the object was held, even in ancient times.
Wenn Archäologie und Philologie nicht harmonieren
Authors: Theis Christoffer 
Published: June 2015

Summary
The article compiles all in situ finds of magical bricks, which were placed in niches around the body inside the grave that are known so far. It is demonstrated that the text of the ritual described in the Book of the Dead spell 151 is not put to practice exactly as written. The archaeological evidence shows an entirely different approach by the ancient priests, who used the bricks in a more practical way rather than following the strict instructions described in BD 151.

Background & Aims: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the commonest cause of chronic liver disease in the western world. Current diagnostic methods including Fibroscan have limitations, thus there is a need for more robust non-invasive screening methods. The gut microbiome is altered in several gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders resulting in altered, unique gut fermentation patterns, detectable by analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urine, breath and faeces. We performed a proof of principle pilot study to determine if progressive fatty liver disease produced an altered urinary VOC pattern; specifically NAFLD and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).Methods: 34 patients were recruited: 8 NASH cirrhotics (NASH-C); 7 non-cirrhotic NASH; 4 NAFLD and 15 controls. Urine was collected and stored frozen. For assay, the samples were defrosted and aliquoted into vials, which were heated to 40±0.1°C and the headspace analyzed by FAIMS (Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectroscopy). A previously used data processing pipeline employing a Random Forrest classification algorithm and using a 10 fold cross validation method was applied.Results: Urinary VOC results demonstrated sensitivity of 0.58 (0.33 - 0.88), but specificity of 0.93 (0.68 - 1.00) and an Area Under Curve (AUC) 0.73 (0.55 -0.90) to distinguish between liver disease and controls. However, NASH/NASH-C was separated from the NAFLD/controls with a sensitivity of 0.73 (0.45 - 0.92), specificity of 0.79 (0.54 - 0.94) and AUC of 0.79 (0.64 - 0.95), respectively.Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that urinary VOCs detection may offer the potential for early non-invasive characterisation of liver disease using 'smell prints' to distinguish between NASH and NAFLD.
El crudo despertar de Lázaro de Betania
Authors: Arias Orozco Grettel Mariana 
Published: June 2015

En este escrito se discute cómo el personaje principal de la novela costarricense El despertar de Lázaro (2003) de Julieta Pinto, rompe con el eterno silencio del personaje bíblico, con lo cual se deconstruye el relato bíblico y se logra percibir a Lázaro como a una persona real, de “carne y hueso”. Asimismo, experimenta un doble exilio, en tanto una vez muerto es forzado a regresar a la vida; ya no pertenece a la vida ni a la muerte. Como resultado, este personaje literario se instaura como el otro o la alteridad inaceptable.
Structural Studies on Some Oligothiophenes and Ethylenedioxythiophenes
Authors: Pham Phuong-Truc T. , Bader Mamoun M. 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTWe present our findings on structural features and trends observed in single crystal structural studies for a series of oligothiophene and ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) molecules substituted with bromo and tricyanovinyl groups. The presence of a C=C bridge as well as the introduction of n-butyl solubilizing groups are also addressed. Focus of the work will be on how these structural modifications, in particular, how inter- and intra- molecular interactions impact planarity and packing of molecules in the observed crystal structures.
Growth of Hexagonal Boron Nitride on Microelectronic Compatible Substrates
Authors: Snure Michael , Paduano Qing S. 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTBoron nitride has attracted a great deal of attention as a two dimensional (2D) insulator for substrate and gate dielectric applications in 2D electronics. Development of a scalable technique to grow mono- to few-layer h-BN on microelectronics compatible substrates is desirable. Work on the growth of atomically smooth BN and graphene on sapphire and Si is presented in this paper. Two approaches are described: i) growth of h-BN and graphene on Si and sapphire substrates using a catalyzing Cu thin film, and ii) low pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth on sapphire. In approach i) we discuss problems associated with the thermal instability of Cu at the interface with the substrate and show how the stability may be improved through the use of a thin Ni buffer layer or careful substrate selection. The correlation between Cu film morphology and h-BN (and graphene) quality is shown. In approach ii) we find two different growth modes, 3D island growth at low V/III ratios and self-terminating growth at high V/III ratios. Under self-terminating growth atomically smooth few-layer h-BN films are produced. Nitridation of the sapphire surface is found to promote this self-terminating growth by improving nucleation of BN on the substrate. Finally, we present results from the growth of graphene/h-BN on sapphire in a single process.

ABSTRACTMolybdenum disulfide (MoS2), one of the transition-metal dichalcogenides, is a 2-dimensional semiconducting material that has a layered structure. Owing to excellent optical and electronic properties, the ultra-thin MoS2 film is expected to be used for various devices, such as transistors and flexible displays. In this study, we investigated the physical and chemical properties of sputtered-MoS2 film in the sub-10-nm region by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). As the results of Raman spectroscopy investigations, we observed two Raman modes, E12g and A1g, in the 2-dimensional MoS2 films. As the thickness of the MoS2 film decreased, the peak frequency difference between E12g and A1g modes increased. From the XPS investigations, we confirmed sulfur reductions from the 2-dimensional MoS2 films. Therefore, we considered that the sulfur vacancies in the MoS2 film affected the Raman peak positions. Moreover, we performed the additional sulfurization of sputtered-MoS2 films. From the XPS and Raman investigations, the quality of the sputtered-MoS2 films was improved by the additional sulfurization.
Actuator saturation control of a benchmark structure using hedge-algebras-based fuzzy controller
Authors: Le Bui Hai 
Published: June 2015

In this paper, the problem of actuator saturation control of a benchmark structure using hedge-algebras-based fuzzy controller (HAC) is presented. In HAC, linguistic values of linguistic terms are obtained through semantically quantifying mappings (SQMs) based on few fuzziness parameters of each linguistic variable without using any fuzzy set and inherent order relationships between linguistic values of each linguistic variable are always ensured. Hence, the design of a HAC leads to determining parameters of SQMs, which are fuzziness measures of primary terms and linguistic hedges occurring in a fuzzy model. As a case study, a HAC is designed to actuator saturation control of a benchmark structure with active bracing system (ABS) subjected to earthquake excitation. Control performance of the controller is also discussed in order to show advantages of the proposed method.

Published: June 2015

We investigate in detail $one-loop$ contribution of new particles to the muon anomalous magnetic moment \((g-2)_\mu\) in the framework of the economical 3-3-1 model. The main contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment come from new neutral gauge boson \(Z'\), bilepton singly charged vector boson $Y^\pm$. The contributions of new neutral/charged scalars are small and can be neglected. The result is extended to other versions of 3-3-1 models.Comparing the anomalous magnetic moment value in this model with experimental value we set the extension requirement for the model.

Published: June 2015

In this report, we present the optical properties of the biosensors fabricated from CdZnSe/ZnS quantum dots. The optical properties such as absorption and emission of the ternary quantum dots before and after coupling with the protein molecules like streptavidine (SA) and acetylcholinesterase enzymes (AChE), to form a biosensor structure, will be presented. In particular, the changes in luminescence intensity according to the pH value of the solution environment containing biosensor have been considered, before and after the presence of pesticides. The changes in luminescence intensity of the biosensor after the presence of pesticide over time from 2 seconds to 26 minutes were also surveyed. We have been carried out the tests to determine the trace amounts of commercial pesticides like Motox 5EC, containing 5% cypermethrin and Tungatin 10 EC, containing 10% abamectin, on the real samples of tealeaves. Some characteristics of the relationship between composition, structure, and special optical properties of ternary alloy quantum dots will also be presented. These studies open up the potential applications of ternary quantum dots for agricultural production.
The Strategic Effects of Auditing Standard No. 5 in a Multi-Location Setting
Authors: Patterson Evelyn R. , Smith J. Reed 
Published: June 2015

SUMMARY
Auditing Standard No. (AS) 5 provides guidance in the required audit of internal control over financial reporting and its integration into the financial statement audit. AS 5 advocates a “top-down” approach, in which control testing helps the auditor assess the risk of financial misstatement across multiple locations. We consider a manager who oversees two locations and who has private information about internal control strength in each location. Only when controls are weak can the manager commit fraud. We show how the manager's opportunity to commit fraud and informational characteristics of internal control tests impact the manager's probability choice of fraud and the auditor's choice of substantive test effort.
Logistics Costs Behavior and Management in the Auto Industry
Authors: Porporato Marcela M. 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACT
This case, based on a real-life situation of how logistics costs function in daily operations, aims to provide students with the opportunity to understand how logistics costs are calculated and how the inter-organizational nature of these costs affects the profitability of two companies. The case hinges on understanding cost behavior (fixed and variable) and on management control systems design. Although logistics costs represent a small fraction of total costs in manufacturing companies, they can negatively affect the bottom line if left unattended. Students are presented with data relating to a three-year project in the automotive industry that shows that the project has been experiencing a sustained increase in costs that has eroded its profit margin. While it appears that logistics costs are the problem, it cannot be verified until the contracts are studied. In addition, the financial- and contract-related data provided are sufficient to extend the profitability analysis to the provider of logistics services. This case is suitable for management accounting courses at the master's or advanced undergraduate level; it has been tested and well received by students who want to gain a greater understanding of logistics costs—their nature, behavior, possible containment strategies, and inter-organizational effects.
Data Availability: Some of the data are from public sources, but the logistics contracts and cost schedules are private; the confidentiality agreement with the two companies requires masking certain details and modifying the numeric data.

OBJECTIVE
Our aim is to compare the effect of type 2 diabetes on recurrent major cardiovascular events (MCVE) for patients with symptomatic vascular disease at different locations.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
A total of 6,841 patients from the single-center, prospective Second Manifestations of ARTerial disease (SMART) cohort study from Utrecht, the Netherlands, with clinically manifest vascular disease with (n = 1,155) and without (n = 5,686) type 2 diabetes were monitored between 1996 and 2013. The effect of type 2 diabetes on recurrent MCVE was analyzed with Cox proportional hazards models, stratified for disease location (cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, coronary artery disease, or polyvascular disease, defined as ≥2 vascular locations).

RESULTS
Five-year risks for recurrent MCVE were 9% in cerebrovascular disease, 9% in peripheral artery disease, 20% in those with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, 7% in coronary artery disease, and 21% in polyvascular disease. Type 2 diabetes increased the risk of recurrent MCVE in coronary artery disease (hazard ratio [HR] 1.67; 95% CI 1.25–2.21) and seemed to increase the risk in cerebrovascular disease (HR 1.36; 95% CI 0.90–2.07), while being no risk factor in polyvascular disease (HR 1.12; 95% CI 0.83–1.50). Results for patients with peripheral artery disease (HR 1.42; 95% CI 0.79–2.56) or an abdominal aortic aneurysm (HR 0.93; 95% CI 0.23–3.68) were inconclusive.

CONCLUSIONS
Type 2 diabetes increased the risk of recurrent MCVE in patients with coronary artery disease, but there is no convincing evidence that it is a major risk factor for subsequent MCVE in all patients with symptomatic vascular disease.
