PREGLED RAZVOJA TEORIJA U PROUČAVANJU ZADOVOLJSTVA STANOVANJEM THEORIES OF HOUSING QUALITY SATISFACTION: AN OVERVIEW

Zadovoljstvo stanovanjem jedan je od pokazatelja kvalitete života koji utječe na sve aspekte životnih dimenzija, od fizičkih, ekonomskih, socijalnih do psiholoških. Zbog svoje kompleksnosti, stanovanje se smatra interdisciplinarnim područjem istraživanja, pa različite struke primjenjuju različite pristupe, koncepte, modele i mjere. Da bi neko istraživanje o stanovanju moglo biti sveobuhvatno, nužno je dati teorijski okvir u njegovu proučavanju. U velikom broju znanstvenih radova, istraživanja i projekata, teorije stanovanja često nisu objašnjene potpuno. Na temelju proučene recentne literature ovaj rad donosi pregled i sintezu najčešće korištenih teorija o zadovoljstvu stanovanja na jednom mjestu. To su teorija stambenog zadovoljstva na kojoj počiva model zadovoljstva stanovanjem, a polazi od subjektivnih percepcija; teorija stambene prilagodbe kao najcitiranija teorija u istraživanjima zadovoljstva stanovanjem; teorija stambene pokretljivosti koja poseban naglasak stavlja na stambeno okruženje kao važnog prediktora zadovoljstva stanovanjem; teorija formiranja impresija koja se rabi pri ispitivanjima dojmova o fizičkim aspektima stambenog okoliša i fizičkoj strukturi zgrade/kuće; bihevioralna teorija kao najčešće korištena teorija u geografskom ispitivanju zadovoljstva stanovanjem; teorija hedonističkog ergometra kao najpoznatija teorija afektivnih iskustava; teorija aspiracijske spirale koja predviđa adaptacijske efekte; teorija troškova stanovanja koja zadovoljstvo stanovanjem povezuje s troškovima; funkcionalistička teorija koja je usmjerena društvenoj harmoniji; marksistička teorija prema kojoj svako biće ima pravo na adekvatno stanovanje neovisno o ekonomskom statusu i pozitivistička teorija stanovanja koja prednost daje objektivnom pristupu. Cilj pregleda navedenih teorija je njihovo sveobuhvatnije korištenje u istraživanjima zadovoljstva stanovanjem od mikrorazine do makrorazine. U radu je objašnjen koncept zadovoljstva stanovanjem i kritički osvrt za navedene teorije te su navedene njihove prednosti i nedostaci u istraživanjima zadovoljstva stanovanjem.

Predictors of Good Clinical Outcome in Patients with Acute Stroke Undergoing Endovascular Treatment – Results from CERBERUS

Background: Endovascular therapy (EVT) with stent retrievers has been shown to be superior and safe (in the anterior circulation) in comparison with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) alone or no specific therapy. We compared clinical outcome between patients undergoing EVT admitted directly to comprehensive stroke centers (CSCs) and patients transferred from primary stroke centers (PSCs) to a CSC. Materials and methods: Demographics, risk factors, and medical history of all consecutive EVT-treated stroke patients in collaborating stroke centers were collected. Patients were divided into three groups: treatment with IVT in a PSC before transfer to a CSC for EVT; treatment with IVT directly in a CSC with subsequent EVT in the same center; no treatment with IVT before EVT. Neurological status using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on admission and at day and self-sufficiency using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at day-90 were assessed. “Favorable clinical outcome” was defined as a mRS score of 0–2. Control computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done to determine symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH). Results: A total of 568 patients (313 males; mean age, 66.1±13.2 years) were registered from January 2006 to the end of July 2015. Patients in all three groups did not differ in baseline characteristics except for the time to the start of EVT. The average delay of EVT start in patients transferred from PSC to CSC was 45 min. Subgroups did not differ significantly in SICH prevalence (overall prevalence 5.5%) and favorable clinical outcome (overall 46.7%). Conclusion: The benefit of direct transfer to a CSC merits further investigation. The present study showed both ways of stroke patients transport organization in the Czech Republic are comparably efficient and safe.
Use of Electrolyzed Water as a Topical Antimicrobial and Minimal Processing Technique for Fresh, Whole Peaches

New technologies are being investigated to maintain the safety and quality of fresh peaches during processing while reducing cost and meeting the demands of some consumers who are adverse to buying foods treated with chlorine. The goal of this study was to determine the amount of natural microflora found on fresh, whole, unwashed peaches and to compare acidified electrolyzed water (AEW) to traditional chlorine as a topical treatment for the reduction or elimination of total aerobic microorganisms on those peaches. This experiment compared peaches receiving no wash (NW), a tap water wash (TW), an acidified electrolyzed water wash (AEW), and a chlorine wash (CL) for effectiveness at removing microorganisms naturally present on peaches right after harvest. Each treatment was applied for two different time exposures (5 seconds or 40 minutes) for comparison. NW peaches received no treatment while tap water washed (TW) peaches were washed with water chilled to 2 ± 2°C. AEW was produced immediately before each application with the following characteristics: 21 ± 0.2 ppm free chlorine, pH ≈ 2.5, ORP ≈ 1100 mV, and a temperature of 2 ± 2°C. CL solution was also prepared immediately before each application to contain 21 ± 0.3 ppm free chlorine with a resulting pH of approximately 8. Analysis of results showed that the length of time of treatment exposure had a significant effect on the number of aerobic microorganisms recovered from the surfaces of peaches (P < 0.05). AEW reduced the counts of microbes recovered from peaches by 0.9 and 1.7 log10 CFU/gram peach after 5 second or 40 minute exposure times, respectively. Peaches
Spectral modulation of non-Galactic plane Gamma-ray pulsars due to photon-ALPs mixing in Galactic magnetic field

In many approaches to describe physics beyond the standard model, light Nambu-Goldstone bosons (named axion-like particles or ALPS for their similarity with the axion) are predicted to exist. For ALPs with a mass of neV, photon-ALPs oscillation takes place in extra-galactic magnetic fields during the propagation of very high energy gamma-ray photons leading to excess radiation observed for optically thick sources. In order to verify this effect, gamma-ray spectra from strong Galactic plane or non-galactic plane sources can be used and the photon-ALPs mixing would lead to an energy dependent suppression of the observed gamma-ray spectra. Here, we have used Fermi-LAT observations of a sample of non Galactic plane gamma-ray pulsars located at different line-of-sights to search for spectral signatures and compare the result with the predictions using particular models for the Galactic magnetic field.We find consistent evidence with our prevoius analysis of objects located in the Galactic plane for a modulation of the spectra investigated at the level of 3.66 standard deviations . In the framework of ALPS-photon oscillation, the resulting parameters strongly depend upon the chosen magnetic field model, but seem to be within reach of new experiments(e.g. IAXO).
MAX-DOAS NO2 observations over Guangzhou, China; ground-based and satellite comparisons

In this study, the tropospheric NO2 vertical column density (VCD) over an urban site in Guangzhou megacity in China is investigated by means of MAX-DOAS measurements during a campaign from late March 2015 to mid-March 2016. A MAX-DOAS system was deployed at the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and operated there for about 1 year, during the spring and summer months. The tropospheric NO2 VCDs retrieved by the MAX-DOAS are presented and compared with space-borne observations from GOME-2/MetOpA, GOME-2/MetOp-B and OMI/Aura satellite sensors. The comparisons reveal good agreement between satellite and MAX-DOAS observations over Guangzhou, with correlation coefficients ranging between 0.795 for GOME-2B and 0.996 for OMI. However, the tropospheric NO2 loadings are underestimated by the satellite sensors on average by 25.1, 10.3 and 5.7 %, respectively, for OMI, GOME-2A and GOME2B. Our results indicate that GOME-2B retrievals are closer to those of the MAX-DOAS instrument due to the lower tropospheric NO2 concentrations during the days with valid GOME-2B observations. In addition, the effect of the main coincidence criteria is investigated, namely the cloud fraction (CF), the distance (d) between the satellite pixel center and the ground-based measurement site, as well as the time period within which the MAX-DOAS data are averaged around the satellite overpass time. The effect of CF and time window criteria is more profound on the selection of OMI overpass data, probably due to its smaller pixel size. The available data pairs are reduced to half and about one-third for CF≤ 0.3 and CF≤ 0.2, respectively, while, compared to larger CF thresholds, the correlation coefficient is improved to 0.996 from about 0.86, the slope value is very close to unity (∼ 0.98) and the mean satellite underestimation is reduced to about half (from ∼ 7 to ∼ 3.5× 1015 molecules cm−2). On the other hand, the distance criterion affects mostly GOME-2B data selection, because GOME-2B pixels are quite evenly distributed among the different radii used in the sensitivity test. More specifically, the number of collocations is notably reduced when stricter radius limits are applied, the r value is improved from 0.795 (d ≤ 50 km) to 0.953 (d ≤ 20 km), and the absolute mean bias decreases about 6 times for d ≤ 30 km compared to the reference case (d ≤ 50 km).
Biology teachers’ knowledge base of instructional representations.

Based on the assumption that much can be learned from the studies of experienced science teachers, the purpose of this study is to identify the knowledge base that contributed to the instructional representations demonstrated by four exemplary junior high school biology teachers. Results are intended to provide suggestions that would be useful to science teacher educators and science teachers. Multiple qualitative data gathering methods and triangulation were employed to enhance the validity of the findings. Analysis indicated that the knowledge base of the teachers' instructional representations consisted of five major categories: knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum, context, and alternative representations. Each category had several chief subcategories. These categories overlapped and interacted with each other. The results indicate that it is important to provide science teachers with knowledge in the five major categories and that it is necessary to help teachers integrate the different categories of knowledge for teaching.

Reconfigurable Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Logic Control for a Class of Nonlinear System considering Communication Time Delays on Peripheral Elements

Nowadays the study of faults and their consequences becomes an issue into highly safety critical computer network systems. How to bound the effects of a fault and how to tackle them into a dynamic system is still an open field. In here an approach to tackle this problem is presented. The use of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy logic structure is given in order to accomplish two challenges, the presence of local faults and the respective time delays within a realtime distributed system. This approach is pursued as reconfigurable strategy according to communication time delays within a real-time distributed system. This approach is pursued as reconfigurable strategy according to communication delays.
Detection of Fetal Defects in First Trimester by Ultrasound Examination - Abilities and Limitations

The development of prenatal diagnostics in the recent years and the introduction of the new cell free DNA testing for chromosomal abnormalities raised the question about the effectiveness of the well-known First trimester screening. The need to reassess and to determine the efficacy of the 11-14 week scans in detecting fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities and structural defects arose again. Could the First trimester screening be abandoned and replaced by the new tests? In our practice we find that at 11-14 weeks some abnormalities are always detectable, some can never be and others are potentially detectable depending on their association with increased Nuchal translucency (NT). Fetal structural abnormalities can be classified as major or minor and of early or late onset. After the introduction of a national screening program the prenatal detection rates for all congenital anomalies has increased considerably. Especially anencephaly, gastroschisis and exomphalos are amenable for early detection (in the first trimester). The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of 11-14 week scan in detecting fetuses with structural anomalies that are almost always detectable in the recent years.
A Techniques for Sentiment Analysis in Twitter Data for Improving Students Learning Experience

Presently a day long range interpersonal communication is turning out to be increasingly effective instrument for the youthful era for correspondence and sharing of data. Individuals have begun utilizing the long range interpersonal communication locales for various purposes. The basic purpose for utilization of the person to person communication is to stay in contact with companions, impart every single occasion to companions and that is too free of expense. Information from such instrumented situations can give profitable information to advise understudy learning. Examining such information, in any case, can challenge. Unadulterated manual investigation can't manage the perpetually developing size of information, while immaculate programmed calculations as a rule can't catch top to bottom importance inside the information. Thus, in this anticipate, we will propose a programmed examination which will give the precision, productivity and will diminish the manual work and time for dissecting the information.
Individual quality and nuptial throat colour in male European green lizards

Nuptial traits signalling individual quality are common in numerous animal taxa, and play a significant role in sexual selection. Detecting female mate choice based on visual cues is notoriously hard in lizards. Previously, we found that female European green lizards (Lacerta viridis) preferred to associate with males with high ultraviolet (UV) throat reflectance. Here, we investigated if different components of nuptial throat colour of male European green lizards were correlated to other fitness-related traits, and thus could signal male quality. We found that (1) high UV chroma correlates positively with directional asymmetry and shows a negative trend with body condition; (2) blue chroma is not related to any individual traits; and (3) total throat brightness correlates positively with body size and relative head size, and negatively with ectoparasite load. Our results suggest that having high throat UV reflectance is costly for male European green lizards, so probably only high-quality individuals can afford it, while total brightness of the throat colour signals age, relative head size and health status. Hence, throat colour in male European green lizards is a multiple honest signal.
The Types of Clothing Shopping Value and the Classification of Consumer group by Shopping Values

The main purpose of this research was to examine what were the factors of shopping value that consumers perceived, if there is any difference between male and female, and if male and female consumer group were divided into different groups according to the pursuing shopping value type. ` Data were solicited from convenience sample of 347 adults(156 male and 191 female) who were between 19 to 49 years of age. Sources for the sample were companies and apartment complexes and several colleges in Seoul and Chonan to diversify by such demographics as age and social status. The statistical methods used for this study are factor analysis and cluste ra nalysis and Scheffe test using a SPSS 10.00 GLM. The main findings are as follows: First, four dimensions of clothing shopping values were identified as pleasure, planned, leisure, and convenience value. For male, it appeared in the order of pleasure, leisure, planned, and convenience shopping value and for female, it appeared in the order of pleasure, planned, leisure, and convenience shopping value. The most important subdimension of clothing shopping value was 'pursuing pleasure’and the least important one was 'convenience’ regardless of gender. Second, three types of consumer groups for male & female were identified. For male consumers, it appeared as planned, leisure/convenience, and pleasure pursuing group. For female consumers, it appeared as pleasure, convenience, and leisure shopping pursuing group. Here, pleasure is a common factors to affect shopping itself free from gender, but male does shopping with plan and female with pleasure.

Acceptance of Problem Based Learning among Medical Students

Aim: The objective of this study is to determine the acceptance of Problem Based Learning (PBL) among medical students. Material and Methods: This study was conducted among 350 Medical students at the Management and Science University (MSU), Malaysia, during the academic year 2011-2012. A cross sectional study was carried out among first, second, third and fourth year medical students. Students were explained the objective of the study and were invited to participate. Informed verbal consent to participate was obtained and all participants were assured. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 13. T-test and ANOVA test which were conducted to determine if there was a significant difference between the study parameters. Multiple linear regressions were used in multivariate analysis. Results: The majority of the surveyed students were older than, or equal, to 22 years old, Malays, from year 2, with Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) more than 3.3 and family monthly income less than 10,000 Malaysian ringgits (60.3%, 52.3%, 44.0%, 37.1%, 85.4% respectively). Race, year and CGPA were found to be significantly associated with PBL acceptance among medical students (p = 0.001, p = 0.003, p = 0.003; respectively). Overall, the acceptance of PBL among medical students was quite low (39.7%). In multivariate analysis, age and race were significantly associated with PBL acceptance. Conclusion: The acceptance of PBL among the surveyed medical students was low. This suggests that more rigorous and practical training should be given to tutors and students in order to understand the philosophy of PBL.
Frequency analysis of noise exposure of dairy cows in the process of milking

Pšenka M. , Šístková M. , Mihina Š. , Gálik R. (2016): Frequency analysis of noise exposure of dairy cows in the process of milking. Res. Agr. Eng., 62: 185–189. In the environment of farms and farm buildings, cattle are exposed to various unnatural influences. Such an impact is also noise always arising with a certain energy conversion. In cattle farms, the sources of noise are represented by various mechanical equipment and machines that are used for enabling farm operations. The aim of the paper was to analyse the noise levels in dairy cattle production in the environment, during their day routine. Noise levels were measured at two farms with a different technological layout of milking parlour, with a different way of milking. The noise exposure of dairy cows was measured in three locations, namely in the milking parlour, during standing in the area before milking (in the so-called collection room) and directly in the stabling area. Noise exposure was measured during milking and when the milking parlour was turned off. The values were compared with the hearing sensitivity of cattle at selected frequencies (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 kHz).
