The communication effects of sponsorship in local sports markets
Authors: Kowalski Sławomir
Published: July 2017

Local sports market depends on the groups of stakeholders. One of them are the sponsors grouped around a particular club or sport.                The problem that meet the organizers of sporting events or recreational activities is the inability to convince sponsors to the effectiveness of promotional activities based on the sport. Inability is due primarily to the fact that companies sponsoring do not use all aspects of the sponsorship and sometimes the club cannot indicate how it should be used. Meanwhile, the lasting effects of sponsorship can bring benefits not only its image but also financial, informational, promotional.                The primary purpose of the article is to study the effect of the use of the communication by the sponsors local sports clubs. This study will be done by evaluating how the sponsors of these clubs to communicate the fact to support the outside. Space research will be websites of sports clubs from Częstochowa region and information from websites of their sponsors.Article will consist of theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part will be presented briefly the most important and latest information on modern forms of communication with the use in companies. The practical part of the study will fill your own.                During the study it will be verified thesis that sponsors local sports clubs faint attach importance to communicate that fact to potential customers. In this way also it verifies opinion on the effectiveness of sponsorship and lack of ability to use image-supporting local sports clubs.The article is part of a multi-lane testing on the functioning of local sports clubs.

Published: July 2017

BACKGROUND

Medicare patients account for approximately 50% of hospital days. Hospitalization in older adults often results in poor outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

To test the feasibility and impact of using Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders (ACOVE) quality indicators (QIs) as a therapeutic intervention to improve care of hospitalized older adults.

DESIGN

Post‐test only prospective intervention with a non‐equivalent retrospective control group.

SETTING

Large tertiary hospital in the greater New York Metropolitan area.

PATIENTS

Hospitalized patients, 75 years and over, admitted to medical units.

INTERVENTION

A checklist, comprised of four ACOVE QIs, administered during daily interdisciplinary rounds: venous thrombosis prophylaxis (VTE) (QI 1), indwelling bladder catheters (QI 2), mobilization (QI 3), and delirium evaluation (QI 4).

MEASUREMENTS

Variables were extracted from electronic medical records with QI compliance as primary outcome, and length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and read‐missions as secondary outcomes. Generalized linear mixed models for binary clustered data were used to estimate compliance rates for each group (intervention group or control group) in the postintervention period, along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals.

RESULTS

Of the 2,396 patients, 530 were on an intervention unit. In those patients not already compliant with VTE, compliance rate was 57% in intervention vs 39% in control (P < .0056). For indwelling catheters, mobilization, and delirium evaluation, overall compliance was significantly higher in the intervention group 72.2% vs 54.4% (P = .1061), 62.9% vs 48.2% (P < .0001), and 27.9% vs 21.7% (P = .0027), respectively.

CONCLUSION

The study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of integrating ACOVE QIs to improve the quality of care in hospitalized older adults.

Published: July 2017

Standardized patients (SPs) have been used to assess communication skills in undergraduate medical education, but no published studies describe the use of SPs in assessing practicing physicians on their communication skills. In this study, done with 23 hospitalists at a large urban academic hospital, 3 SP scenarios, daily rounding, discharge, and interacting with a difficult patient, were created. After each encounter, each hospitalist reviewed their videotape and received feedback from their SP based on a checklist that had 3 core domains: Listen, Courtesy and Respect, and Explain. These domains correlated with the 3 questions in the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey that relate to doctors. Hospitalists performed significantly better in the Listen domain, with a mean percent adequate score of 90.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 72.2%‐100%; P < 0.05), and significantly worse in the Explain domain, with a mean percent adequate score of 65.0% (95% CI, 49.2%‐83.6%; P < 0.05). Checklist items in the Explain domain that were most commonly not performed adequately were summarizing information at the end of the encounter, teach back, encouraging additional questions, managing team and self‐up, setting expectations about length of stay, and timing of tests. After the SP encounters, hospitalists felt more confident in their communication skills. SPs can be used to assess and give feedback to hospitalists and increase confidence in several aspects of communication.

Biodiversitas 18: 875-886. Conversion habitat is the major threats to orangutan survival. More than 600 orangutans in rehabilitation center Nyaru Menteng BOSF, Central Kalimantan, waiting to be released to their nature habitat. The success of reintroduction is strongly dependent on the ecological component of the new habitat’s quality. Orangutans’ spatial behavior strongly related to fruit availability fluctuation, which will effects adaptation success. The goal of the study is to differentiate adaptation patterns of reintroduced orangutans (semi-wild and rehabilitant) base on habitat suitability. This study focused on 16 reintroduced orangutans (8 semi-wild and 8 rehabilitant) with a distribution of vegetation analysis overlaid with ranging for ecology effect. Day journey length and ranging of orangutans were collected for 18 months (2012- 2014) by means of focal animal sampling. Ranging data was analyzed using ArcMap GIS 9.3 Kernels program, the correlation between ranging and vegetation by Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA), diversity and biodiversity vegetation analysis which was then compared to wild orangutans (Sebangau and Tuanan Research Station). We found, 98% of Sorensen’s similarity in vegetation and similar diversity for Simpson’s, Shannon-Wiener and biodiversity indexes. Significantly high proportions of food patches consumed were fruit (p < 0.81) and rattan (p < 0.58). Our data also show the range of reintroduced orangutan vertical movements were between 0 m to >20 m, minimum home range for males was 619 ha and females 544 ha, with overlapping areas between orangutans 0.09%- 77.85%. Based on the correlation between ranging and food distribution, reintroduced orangutan distribution was found to be concentrated on food resources, with other factors indicating that they still felt comfortable around humans, and ranging was found to be similar compared to wild orangutans. In conclusion, an adaptation of reintroduced orangutans, both semi-wild and rehabilitated, in their new habitat was found to be similar.

Setyawan. 2017. Short Communication: Abundance of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal spores associated with corn planted with traditional and more modern farming systems at East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 887-892. Mycorrhizal fungi play an important role in improving plant productivity and soil conservation. One factor that may have an impact on the population of mycorrhizal fungi in the soil is the land management. The study aimed to investigate the impact of land management on the spore density of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) associated with corn, and was undertaken at 6 sites in Kupang District of East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia Two farming systems (traditional and more modern) were chosen for the study, and three locations were selected to represent each farming system practiced. Representative soil samples were taken from each location/farming system for AM observation and soil analysis. The results showed that spore density of AM fungi was higher in soil taken from corn plantation with traditional practice than that found in soil taken from corn plantation with more modern practice, indicating a negative impact of the more modern farming practice on the population of AM fungi. The research should be extended to further investigate the diversity and communities of AM fungi at different time and location.

Sadikin PN, Arifin HS, Pramudya B, Mulatsih S. 2017. Carrying capacity to preserve biodiversity on ecotourism in Mount Rinjani National Park, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 978-989. Mount Rinjani National Park (MRNP) in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia has applied ecotourism which becomes more popular at international and national level. Yet, the MRNP ecotourism faces various problems such as ecotourism resources damage, erosion, or garbage left by ecotourism activities, etc. This study aims to analyze (i) the land suitability for ecotourism based on criteria of tourism object range, land use and land cover, zone type, biodiversity range, and slope, and (ii) carrying capacity of the ecotourism area, the total number of visitors who can enjoy ecotourism attraction based on activities type, total area, capacity days, and turnover factor. The results of the land suitability for ecotourism analysis show that the MRNP ecotourism has been applied on the suitable land for ecotourism, except in Pelawangan Senaru and at the Peak of Mount Rinjani due to its sensitive and fragile area. The carrying capacity assessment using Douglass formula (1982) has counted the visitors for up to 42.527 visitors per year for camping activity. Generally, this value is under the average actual visitors at present, i.e. 44.112 visitors per year. It means the MRNP ecotourism is already exceeded its carrying capacity.

Ahmad B, Haneda NF, Robaikah ID. 2016. Short Communication: Effects of felling intensity on Hymenoptera biodiversity in a natural production forest in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: xxxx. Hymenoptera is one of the major components of insect biodiversity, where its abundance and diversity contributes to the functioning of the forest ecosystem. Most of the tropical forest in Kalimantan island has been logging since 1970. Tree felling is the initial step of logging activity. This activity leads to change Hymenoptera diversity. This study analyzes the effects of felling intensity on the Hymenoptera diversity in 100 ha area in a natural production forest in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. In this study, the diversity, evenness, and species richness index of Hymenoptera was compared before and after felling in three intensities (low, moderate, and high). Insects were collected in 9 purposively located 0.5 ha plots using a malaise trap. Three malaise traps were set in each plot The results showed that the timber felling tends to decrease the abundance of Hymenoptera. Diversity and species richness of Hymenoptera will decline in moderate and high felling intensity, whereas evenness index of Hymenoptera unchanged at three felling intensities. The composition of morphospecies of Hymenoptera was changed after tree felling with high intensity. The results of the study suggest that minimizing the felling intensity may reduce disruption of insect habitat in natural production forest in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Mangifera from Central Sumatra has an unique ability to adapt to the high rainfall regions. This genus is therefore as a potential germplasm source in Sumatra. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the nucleotide sequences of Mangifera in the central region of Sumatra based on gene loci of trnL-F intergenic spacer. The initial step of research was conducted by isolating DNA from leaves sample of Mangifera based on CTAB method. Sequences of gene loci of trnL-F were analyzed with Maximum Parsimony and Neighbour Joining methods through PAUP* Program version 4.0b10. From the results of sequences analysis with Maximum Parsimony method, it was obtained a monophyletic group of Mangifera consisted of two main clades which separated M. kemanga from five other species of Mangifera, i.e. M. foetida, M. odorata, M. laurina and Mangifera sp. Parsimony analysis also revealed that the common ancestor of M. kemanga is the first species appeared in the central region of Sumatra. The result of Neighbour Joining analysis showed M. laurina had the longest genetic distance among examined species and might be assumed as the most primitive species of Mangifera. Mangifera laurina and M. odorata were closely related as well as M. foetida and M. odorata. The results of research also revealed and supported the genus Mangifera as a monophyletic group.

Vogel HF, Bernardon MM, Zawadzki CH. 2017. Distribution of Cichlopsis leucogenys (Aves: Turdidae) in Brazil and its relation to protected areas. Biodiversitas 18: 1116-1121. The Rufous-brown Solitaire (Cichlopsis leucogenys Cabanis, 1851) is endangered in Brazil, and the demarcation of priority areas is needed for its in situ conservation. Accordingly, we reviewed the distribution of C. leucogenys and assessed its association with protected areas (PAs) by analyzing 70 occurrence records from 1942 to 2014 that were collected from online datasets. Of these records, 38 (54.4%) were from Bahia State, 27 (38.5%) were from EspÃ­rito Santo State, and five (7.1%) were from Minas Gerais State, and the Biological Reserve Augusto Ruschi (EspÃ­rito Santo State), State Park Serra do Conduru (Bahia State), and Serra do Ouro Environmental Protected Area (Bahia) were identified as key PAs. One record described an observation of the species at 45 m above sea level, which is lower than expected. We verified the potential occurrence of the species in 31 PAs that were located in southern Bahia to the mountains in both EspÃ­rito Santo and Minas Gerais. The IlhÃ©us-Itabuna region should be given special attention during conservation efforts, owing to records of species presence outside PAs, which should also be considered by management plans.

Biodiversitas 18: 1130-1134. Java has three species of hornbills, one of them is the Wreathed Hornbill (Rhyticeros undulates Shaw, 1811) that can be found mainly throughout on Mount Ungaran, Central Java, Indonesia. The main threats to Wreathed Hornbill population are habitat fragmentation and forest clearing. The large trees used for nesting by the Wreathed Hornbill are usually located in areas of illegal logging. Therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of Wreathed Hornbill nests, especially in Mount Ungaran. Eight nests were discovered, six of which were active. The nests were found at 900-1200 m above sea level. Trees that were used as nest sites were between 24-35 m high, and had a diameter of 0.83-1.75 m. Nests were located at heights of 1-27 m, and had a hole diameter of 33-38 cm, hole length of 170-211 cm, entrance width of 4-11 cm, entrance length of 14-39 cm, nest thickness 6-18 cm, and a temperature of 20-21Â°C. The nest shapes were oval, ellipse, and irregular oval. Commonly, the Wreathed Hornbills used Syzygium glabratum, Syzygium antisepticum, and Cratoxylum formosum for nesting.

Effect of katuk (Sauropus androgynus) powder supplementation on the levels of progesterone (P4) and estradiol-17Î² (E2) hormones in kacang goat (Capra aegragus). Nusantara Bioscience 9: 86-91. Kacang goat (Capra aegragus) is one of Indonesian endemic ruminant species which commonly retained by the community in Indonesia. This species is classified as a small ruminant which has many benefits i.e easy to be domesticated and to adapt, and has an economical value especially for saving purposes to farmers in marginal areas. This study aimed to observe the effects of the katuk powder supplementation (Sauropus androgynus) in the feed of kacang goats on the level of reproductive hormones (progesterone (P4) and estradiol-17Î² (E2)) in female kacang goats. A total of 9 female kacang goats which meet the prerequisite samples i.e reaching the age of a sexual maturity, having a homogenous weight (12.00 Â± 1.00 kg) and in healthy condition were then devided into three groups of treatments using a Completely Randomized Design method. Each treatments consisted of 3 kacang goats as a replication. The treatments consisted of: (i) feed without katuk powder supplementation (control),(ii) feed with the concentration of katuk powder supplementation was 3% of kacang goatâ€™s body weight, and (iii) feed with the concentration of katuk powder supplementation was 6% of kacang goatâ€™s body weight. After 60 days of treatments, the results showed that the supplementation of katuk powder on female kacang goats had no significant effect on the level of progesterone and estradiol-17Î² in the first sampling (day-0, P>0.05), however the treatment had a significant effect to the level of progesterone and estradiol-17Î² on the second sampling (day-28) and the third sampling (day-56) with a significance level of P<0.05. It was concluded that the supplementation of katuk powder could increase the level of progesteron and estradiol-17Î² hormones in kacang goats. The katuk powder supplementation about 3% of goat weight has sufficiently increased the level of reproduction hormones in female kacang goats.

Ant-plants (Myrmecodia tuberosa Jack.) is a medicinal plant that could potentially inhibit cancer cell growth. Ant-plants is epiphytic plants whose commonly life was attached to the host tree. Several information from local people stated that ant-plants attaching to different host trees possesses different active compounds. The purpose of this study was to determine the secondary metabolites of each parts of ant-plants including leaves, stems and tubers from different tree hosts i.e mango and durian. Result from phytochemical analysis showed that ant-plants living in mango and durian trees positively contained the metabolic compounds including phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins and steroid/triterpenoid. The Total of Phenolic Content (TPC) and the Total of Flavonoids Content (TFC) on the leaves of ant-plants was higher than that in tubers or stems of ant-plants derived from both host trees i.e mango and durian. The value of TPC and TFC of the ant-plants leaves derived from the durian host tree (319.33 Â± 0.06 mg GAE/g and 272.33 Â± 0.02 mg CE/g) was higher than those from mango host trees (172.80 Â± 0.02 mg GAE/g and 162,83 Â± 0.01 mg CE/g). Ant-plants, whose life was attached to a different host tree, had the same content of secondary metabolites although those quantities were different in each host trees. Therefore, ant-plants from different host trees could be used as a medicinal plant by concerning the amount of used extract for effectiveness medicinal purposes.

Adie MM, Krisnawati A. 2016. Characterization and clustering of agronomic characters of several soybean genotypes. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 237-242. The development of improved soybean variety in Indonesia is mostly derived from crossing (51.19%), which requires the availability of gene source to serve as the parental stock. Characterization of 150 soybean genotypes was conducted in Probolinggo, Indonesia, from February to May 2016. The research was arranged in a randomized block design with two replicates. Clustering of agronomic characters was carried out using cluster analysis. The grouping was based on plant age characters (vegetative phase duration, generative phase duration, generative and vegetative ratio, days to maturity), growth characters (plant height, number of filled pods, number of empty pods, number of branches, number of nodes), and seed characters (100-seed weight and seed yield plant-1), which resulted in 10 groups/clusters. Cluster I, II and III consisted of 47, 80, and 13 genotypes, respectively; whereas other clusters consisted of one up three genotypes, respectively. Each cluster represents specific characters. Cluster IV that consisted of three genotypes showed a late maturity (83.5-88.5 days), high number of pods (81.8-83.3 pods plant-1) and high yield plant-1 (21.76- 25.78 g plant-1), but have small seed size (12.24-13.75 g 100 seed-1). Cluster VI consisted of one genotype, and characterized by large seed size (16.79 g 100 seed-1) and high yield plant-1 (15.76 g). Cluster IX (1 genotype) was characterized by early maturity (73 days), unbranched, but produced relatively low yield. The preference of soybean consumer in Indonesia is high yield, in addition to early maturity (< 80 days), and large seed size (>14 g 100 seed-1). Soybean genotypes within cluster IV, VI, and IX are valuable as gene source in the development of superior soybean varieties in Indonesia.

Pratiwi H, Rahmianna AA. 2016. The effect of growing season on growth rate, pod partitioning, phenology and yield variations of mungbean varieties. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 243-250. The primary objective of mungbean improvement program is the production of high yielding varieties, which is influenced by physiological trait of variety or genotype and environment. The present research aimed to study the effect of growing season on growth rate, pods partitioning, phenology and yield variations of several mungbean varieties. Field experiments were conducted at Muneng Experimental Station of the Indonesian Legume and Tuber Crops Research Institute (ILETRI), Probolinggo District, East Java, Indonesia during rainy season (October to December 2011), and dry season (May to July 2012). A randomized complete block design was employed in the present study consisted of mungbean varieties as treatments in each growing season, and three replicates. The treatments were superior mungbean varieties, i.e. Vima 1, Sriti, Murai, Kutilang and Fore Belu. The observed variables were plant phenology, plant growth rate, seed yield and yield attributes. The results indicated the growing season affected plant growth rate, pod partitioning, phenology and seed yield and yield components with rainy season influenced more parameters of plant growth rate, crop phenology, seed yield and its components as compared to dry season. Conversely, dry season had more effect on pod partitioning coefficient, total dry biomass rate, and seed size. There was significant interaction effect of genotype by growing season on total dry matter and pod growth rates, days to flowering, days to pod maturity, plant height, seed yield, plant population, pod weight, and 1000-seed weight. Seed yield varied among seasons and varieties with the average seed yield in rainy season was 75 to 119% higher than those in dry season except Fore Belu that had the same yield in both seasons.

Published: July 2017

The recent advances in the laboratory procedures make it possible to study endocrinological states in children more easily and more accurately even in the neonatal period. The successes in purification and the determination of chemical structures of various hormones and their releasing factors make it possible to carry out various loading tests. The progress in the measurement of various hormones and their metabolites especially in the field of radioimmunoassay is really remarkable.If we took adrenocortical function studies as an example, urinary 17 hydroxycorticosteroid was the only reliable item about ten years ago, then plasma 17-OHCS determination using Porter-Silver chromogen was introduced followed by plasma 11-OHCS determination with fluorescence spectrophotometry. Then, cortisol production rate determination became possible using radio-isotope dilution technique, and at present, plasma cortisol can be measured directly with protein competitive radio-immunoassay. Thus, the adrenocortical function studies in the pediatric age group has become easier and more reliable. The author likes to present some endocrinological results in children using various methods and now they can be applied in the clinical work.

Sixty eight cases of spasmophilia were studied, consisting of 44 girls and 24 boys, the age ranging from 7 to 12 years. The most prominent symptom was cephalgia. Other symptoms included cramps, fainting attacks, abdominal pains, myalgia, breathing difficulties, palpitation, precordial pain, tremor and learning problems. Laboratory examination showed that most of them were hypocalcemic with prolonged Qo - Tc interval in electrocardiogram. BEG showed a certain pattern of increased thetha waves with irregular background activities and nonspecific changes. Treatment with calcium showed good clinical results. There seems to be no correlation between clinical improvement of symptoms and EMG findings.

The average height and weight of 4.082 children visiting the General Hospital (RSUPP), Medan, throughout 1969-1974 were higher than that reported by Sukonto et al. (1939). However, the heights and weights of school children at 5 to 6 years as reported by Hartaman et al. (1973) were higher than our findings in this study. Compared with the U.S. growth charts the height of these children was very close to the 10th percentile, while the weight was between the 3rd and the 10th percentile of the Harvard standard. At birth the average weight was very close to the 50th percentile of the Harvard standard, at one year it was very close to (below) the 10th percentile, while at 2-5 years it was slightly above the 3rd percentile.
Neonatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis

Published: July 2017

Neonatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a highly lethal disease of the newborn infant, which has aroused great interest in the past decades. It is characterized by ischemic necrosis of the intestinal wall, frequently leading to perforation and death. Unlike most neonatal emergencies, it is acquired and can be successfully treated without operation in most cases.The etiology is still obscure and is considered to be multifactorial. Intesti11al ischemia, infections, cow's milk, and hyperosmolar feeding are among the important factors associated with the pathogenesis of NEC in the newborn Many other factors are also related to the occurrence of this disease but some of them are still controversial.The general opinion is that requiring a background of mucosal ischemia and damage; the presence of both intestinal bacteria and enteric feedings appear to be of significant etiologic factors. The important pathologic lesion is the mucosal damage and necrosis involving mostly the ileum and colon exdept the duodenum. Perforations usually occur in the ileocecal region where the intestinal wall is extremely thin.

Histopathological Features of Primary Nephrotic Syndrome in Children
Authors: Damanik M P , Yoshikawa N
Published: July 2017

Renal biopsy was performed on 28 out of 50 children with primary nephrotic syndrome encountered during the period January 1994 - December 1995. Light microscope (LM) and immunofluorescence microscope QM) examinations were performed on all biopsy specimens. LM examination indicated minimal changes (MC) in 13 cases (46.4%), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in 10 (35.7%), membranous glomerulonephritis (MG) in 2 (7.1%), mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MPG) in 7 (7.1 %), and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) in 1 (3.6%). On IM examination, immunoglobulin deposit was not detected in any MC patients, whereas in FSGS, lgG, lgM, C3 and fibrinogen deposits were found. In the MG group, IgG deposition was detected in one case. In the MPG cases, depositions of lgA, IgG, lgM, C3 and fibrinogen were detected and in the case of MPGN, deposits of lgM and C3 were found. Regarding to response to steroid treatment in the MC group, there was a significant difference between the steroid sensitive and steroid insensitive (p<0.05). For the FSGS abnormality in the steroid treatment of U1e insensitive patients, there was found significant difference with the steroid sensitive abnormality (p<0.05). In conclusion, nephritic symptoms (hematuria, proteinuria, azothemia) are possibly the non minimal group and hence, it would be necessary to carry out renal biopsy to prove this.
Children and nutrition
Authors: Altıncı Evren Ebru
Published: July 2017

It is possible to raise healthy generations by improving the awareness levels of the role models (parents, teachers etc.) who will shape the perspectives of future parents towards nutrition and physical activity. That children receive adequate levels of nutrition from proper sources, which is vital for children’s growth and development, is considerably under the control of external factors (e.g. family and friends’ eating habits, third person’s care/knowledge and experiences such as teachers/trainers etc.). Considering nutrition and the intense physical activity of preschoolers, which is an inherent characteristic of that development stage, and especially the children who are guided to do more intense physical activity, the case becomes more complex. Thus, with the aim to address children’s energy depletion from intense physical activity, it is suggested to provide children with attractive alternatives. Including some of these alternatives, this study aims to reveal the significance of an adequate and balanced diet as well as proper planning of physical activity and periodic assessments at the appropriate time and conditions so that the children who start regular physical activity display optimal performance.
Relations between tourism and sport in the context of tourism as an academic discipline
Authors: Kotus Jacek
Published: July 2017

The specific objective of the paper is to discuss the mutual relations between tourism and sport and, in a wider context, to draw the reader’s attention to the potentially excessive range of research goals in tourism as a discipline. Within the scope of discussion, the author looks at tourism as a social activity and a conceptual and research subject. Research questions, the signposts of intellectual debate, come down to whether tourism shares any common areas with sport (in its widest sense). If so, is such activity still tourism activity? Or perhaps these types of ‘sport-tourist’ activities should be excluded from discussion on tourism as an academic discipline because of their non-tourist character? The author assumes that there is an exploratory and cognitive zone between these two areas of social activity, going beyond both tourism and sport. Tourist activity and sport activity in fact differ from each other.

Abstract:

Malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive tumors which often gives metastasis to distant organs thereby limiting the chances of survival. Brain metastasis occurs in nearly half of the advanced tumors. In order to improve outcome early diagnosis is important. The discovery and better understanding of genetic and epigenetic changes is essential for developing new effective therapies, which can designate promising therapeutic targets. Melanoma most often is caused by gene mutations of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathway, and the cell cycle regulatory molecules, respectively. The molecular process of brain metastasis has not been fully elucidated. In our review we summarize the genetic alterations and molecular mechanisms playing a role in the development of melanoma and its brain metastasis. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(28): 1083–1091.
