O canal mandibular localiza-se no interior do corpo da mandíbula, podendo apresentar variações anatômicas. O conhecimento topográfico do canal mandibular por parte dos Cirurgiões-dentistas é de fundamental importância para obtenção de êxito em planejamentos cirúrgicos, anestesias e intervenções clínicas que envolvam a mandíbula. Estudar a anatomia do canal mandibular por meio de radiografias panorâmicas. Estudo descritivo retrospectivo, desenvolvido após análise e aprovação do Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa com o parecer de número 431.095. Foram analisadas 252 radiografias panorâmicas de pacientes dos gêneros masculino e feminino atendidos nas clínicas Odontológicas do Centro Universitário UNINOVAFAPI, Teresina-PI, Brasil. As radiografias foram analisadas com o auxílio de negatoscópio e cada antímero da mandíbula foi observado separadamente. Utilizou-se as classificações de Nortjé e de Langlais para descrição da topografia do canal mandibular. Análise estatística descritiva foi realizada com o programa SPSS versão 18.0. Observou-se uma prevalência de 38,89%, em ambos os antímeros, de canais mandibulares do Tipo II. O tipo IV esteve presente em 25,4% na hemiarcada direita e 26,6% na esquerda. Canal mandibular com bifurcação unilateral foi observado em 0,77% da amostra e canal reto molar não foi identificado. Observaram-se variações anatômicas, quanto ao número e trajeto do canal mandibular, com maior prevalência dos Tipos II e IV, e ausência de bifurcações. A radiografia panorâmica mostrou-se um recurso auxiliar importante na identificação do canal mandibular e suas variações.

A gastroenterite hemorrágica (GEH) é comum em cães jovens com sinais clínicos característicos como vômitos e diarreia. Entre as principais causas desse tipo de enfermidade estão as viroses como parvovirose e cinomose. O tratamento de GEH geralmente é sintomático com índice de recuperação em torno de 70%. A autohemoterapia é uma técnica em que se utiliza a administração de sangue autólogo por via intramuscular, a fim de estimular o sistema imunológico. Com o objetivo de avaliar a resposta leucocitária em cães acometidos de GEH e tratados com auto-hemoterapia foram utilizados 23 cães, divididos em dois grupos. No primeiro grupo (11 animais), foi realizada esta técnica em associação com o tratamento sintomático. No segundo grupo (12 animais), foi feito apenas o tratamento sintomático. Os animais foram avaliados por meio de hemograma e taxa de sobrevivência. Concluiu-se que a auto-hemoterapia não influenciou na recuperação dos animais. No entanto, produziu intensa leucocitose, efeito que pode ser investigado com maior amostragem de animais e em situações diversas.

Authors: GRIMBERG Mabel
Published: October 2017

Nos últimos nove meses a implementação simultânea de política neoliberais do governo de “Cambiemos” em áreas chaves da vida social resultou em uma drástica transferência de rendimentos aos setores concentrados constituindo-se em uma vertiginosa experiência de precarização da vida e perda de direitos para os setores populares, e ao mesmo tempo, em formidáveis demonstrações de resistência e mobilização social. Com base em um estudo etnográfico em co-labor, essa apresentação explora os desenvolvimentos e realinhamentos de agrupamentos políticos e movimentos populares, as estratégias, recursos e modos de ação coletiva e as reconfigurações da vida cotidiana nesse contexto, incluindo nossa inserção como antropólogos nesses processos.
O CASO LETELIER QUARENTA ANOS DEPOIS, 1976-2016. Ensaio de interpretação
Authors: AVILA Carlos Federico Domínguez
Published: October 2017

O artigo explora os desdobramentos recentes do chamado caso Letelier. Orlando Letelier, ex-ministro do governo da Unidade Popular e opositor do regime militar chileno, foi objeto de um homicídio em Washington, em 21 de setembro de 1976. O episódio passou a ser considerado como a ação mais ousada da polícia secreta do regime militar chileno e, indiretamente, também da denominada operação Condor. Após quatro décadas de busca pela justiça e punição dos responsáveis intelectuais e materiais do crime, o caso Letelier ainda é objeto de intensa pesquisa acadêmica interdisciplinar em diferentes países. Este artigo fundamenta-se em pesquisa com documentação primária e em literatura especializada, bem como nas contribuições da justiça transnacional.
THE IMPACT OF THE KYIV TRANSPORT SYSTEM ON CITIZENS LIFE AND MOBILITY
Authors: Dronova E. , Boklag E.
Published: October 2017

The features of the socio-geographic research of urban transport systems impact on the people vital functions are disclosed in this paper. The indicators of transport networks development and current requirements for public transport are analyzed. It is revealed that a key concept of the investigation of transport impact on the population is accessibility. Accessibility is defined as the ability of individual to access to certain centers or services. It involves such aspects as services availability and quality, travel time, cost and effort of movement in space. Article emphasizes that the indigents suffer the cumulative effect of poor transport accessibility, because of their habitats in low-price neighborhoods are often located far from the places of employment or services. The high cost of transportation and required high travel efforts restricts mobility.
The map of travel time accessibility to the Kyiv center by public transport was created using the isochronous method. The analysis of this map allows identifying the disparities in the development of the transport network. In some areas a very low accessibility can be revealed due to lack of access roads, land forms complexity, individual housing system, the airport location, railway lines with insufficient number of bridges etc. Particularly difficult situation is typical for such areas as Darnytskyi Railway Carriage Repair Plant region, Juliani, Troyeshchyna and Borschagivka.
The average daily passenger traffic flow of the stations of three subway lines in Kiev was analyzed. The maximum and minimum loads and factors that affect them are considered. It is revealed in the research that Kiev transport system has a low level of availability, safety, environmental friendliness and comfort and not enough advantageous for persons with disabilities. The excessive level of automobilization in Kiev can be considered as the evidence of imperfection and inconvenience of the public transport there. From the other hand the motorized vehicles are a factor that displaces public transport from the urban transport system and prevent its development.
The priority measures for the improvement of transport situation in Ukraine capital are outlined. They include solving the problem of Dnipro river bridges congestion; enhancement the accessibility of areas cut off by railways in the way of expanding the network of overpasses; construction of the new modes of high-speed light-rail transit; adoption of the traffic automated management system; development and encouragement of the use of environmentally sound forms of transport (vehicles powered by electricity or alternative fuels, etc.).

Published: October 2017

The presented text is the last part of the article that reported the results of the study about the information security of children and adolescents in groups of teachers. The study was based on the ideas of the social representations theory, in particular, it concerned with the relations in between social practices and social representations. The object of the study was teachers of secondary schools, the sample included 102 people aged from 22 to 65 years, (M = 39.36 years, SD = 11.12 years, 91 women and 11 men). As a matter of the experience with schoolchildren the sample was divided into three groups: teachers of children, teachers of adolescents, and teachers of children and adolescents. To test the assumption concerning the specificity of the social representations as a matter of practice, a questionnaire was developed, it consisted of 6 parts: In the first part, respondents were asked to evaluate information, in terms of the threat it poses to the safety of children and adolescents. In the next four parts of the questionnaire, respondents were asked to answer questions concerning the hypothetical situations, in each case it was necessary to propose a plan of action in the situation. The last part contained socio-demographic issues. The results about last two situations out of four were discussed.
Clinical and morphological characteristics of the vascular bed of hypertrophic scar tissue in different periods of its formation
Authors: Filippova Olga V. , Afonichev Konstantin A. , Krasnogorskiy Ivan N. , Vashetko Rostislav V.
Published: October 2017

Background. The state of the microcirculatory bed in the scar tissue is extremely important for determining the most appropriate methods of conservative and surgical treatments. Only few studies have assessed the vascular features of scar tissue.

The objective was to study and analyze the morphological features of the vascular bed of scar tissue and their clinical implications.

Materials and methods. Fifty-four patients with hypertrophic post-burn scars were examined. The study used a clinical method and performed histological analysis of the scars biopsy specimens, including a survey light microscopy, a morphometric assessment of the vascular bed as well as the verification of the collagen fibers of scar tissue with an immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis with specific monoclonal antibodies (AT) (Novocastra, Bond) to Type I and III collagens.

Results. A significant increase in the total area of the vessels of the rumen in the first 6 months of its formation was observed in comparison with intact skin and later maturation of the scar tissue (in % in 1 mm2 of intact skin – 8.50, in the rumen in terms of up to 6 months – 13.10). The average number of vessels in the scar tissue and the total area of their lumen in the maturing rumen from 2 to 5 years decreased in comparison with that in the intact skin. The nodes were detected in the scars by an early appearance of the clinical signs of vascular disorders including blisters and erosions on thickened and hyperemic scar tissues.

Discussion. In the developing hypertrophic rumen, the circulatory conditions gradually deteriorated due to the compression and obliteration of the vessels of the skin with collagen. The enhancement in perfusion recorded using laser Doppler fluorometry may be associated with a significant dilatation of the rumen vessels, rather than because of actual enhanced perfusion.

Conclusions. 1. The increase in the vascular cross sectional area in the early stages of scar formation is attributable to the expansion of their lumen vessels. In the ripened rumen, the number of vessels is 3 times less than that in intact skin. 2. Hyperemia of the hypertrophic scar is caused by a substantial widening of the vessels of the scar tissue, and not by an increase in their number. 3. The use of a hypertrophic scar for the creation of rotational and other flaps is associated with a high risk of trophic complications.

Published: October 2017

Introduction. Three-dimensional (3D) modeling and prototyping are increasingly being used in various branches of surgery for planning and performing surgical interventions. In orthopedics, this technology was first used in 1990 for performing knee-joint surgery. This was followed by the development of protocols for creating and applying individual patterns for navigation in the surgical interventions for various bones.

Aim. The study aimed to develop a new 3D method for planning and performing corrective osteotomy of the femoral bone using an individual pattern and to identify the advantages of the proposed method in comparison with the standard method of planning and performing surgical intervention.

Materials and methods. A new method for planning and performing corrective osteotomy of the femoral bone in children with various pathologies of the hip joint is presented. The outcomes of planning and performing corrective osteotomy of the femoral bone in 27 patients aged 5 to 18 years (32 hip joints) with congenital and acquired deformity of the femoral bone were analyzed.

Conclusion. The use of computer 3D modeling for planning and implementing corrective interventions on the femoral bone improves the treatment results owing to an almost perfect performance accuracy achieved by the minimization of possible human errors reduction in the surgery duration; and reduction in the radiation exposure for the patient.

Assistência aos presos nas cadeias públicas do Rio de Janeiro e de Salvador pela Santa Casa da Misericórdia (séculos XVII-XIX) * Assistance to prisoners in public prisons of Rio de Janeiro and Salvador by Santa Casa da Misericórdia (XVII-XIX centuries)
Authors: Vignol Lucheti Nayara
Published: October 2017

Desde sua fundação, a Santa Casa da Misericórdia teve entre suas principais tarefas o auxílio aos presos. No Rio de Janeiro e em Salvador, contudo, os criminosos transferidos às cadeias da Relação tornaram impossível à instituição realizar seus trabalhos com excelência. Assim, a irmandade não conseguiu, a partir do Seiscentos e principalmente no Setecentos, arcar com as despesas relativas aos presos. Sabendo disso, apresentaremos as regras de assistência da Misericórdia, destacando as especificidades das cadeias do Rio e de Salvador e como isso afetou o cumprimento das obrigações da irmandade. Por fim, discorreremos sobre o que foi dito acerca do trato dos presos em um período de crise financeira da Misericórdia e de extrema lotação das cadeias da colônia.

Este texto propõe identificar as formas de assistência e proteção social existentes ao longo da história do Brasil, sobretudo a atenção destinada aos pobres. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, propõe-se uma análise teórica, conceitual e legal que busca conhecer como as necessidades sociais dos indivíduos eram atendidas, com destaque as provisões destinadas aos pobres, as quais transitaram desde o escopo de ajuda e caridade, em geral por meio de ações pontuais e limitadas, até o estatuto dos direitos sociais, afiançado em nossas legislações, com suas conquistas, avanços, limites e desafios. Considera-se que tal reflexão é importante no sentido de reconhecer as formas mais impactantes de assistência e proteção que fizeram parte de nossa história e o papel do Estado nessa relação.

Los cuidados de la salud en personas que viven con diabetes: enfoque etnográfico antropológico y perspectiva de género
Authors: Domínguez Mon Ana
Published: October 2017

La diabetes es una enfermedad que constituye un síndrome, cuyo crecimiento se registra con mayor velocidad en sociedades con condiciones de vida y de trabajo precarias y los cuidados cotidianos son fundamentales para controlar su progresión. El presente trabajo muestra el valor heurístico e interpretativo y la potencialidad explicativa del aporte del enfoque etnográfico y de la perspectiva de género para el análisis de las prácticas de cuidado en un grupo de adultos mayores que vive con diabetes tipo 2. El trabajo se llevó a cabo con un grupo de diabéticos y con profesionales de la salud en un centro de atención primaria de salud (CAPS) de José León Suárez, municipio de San Martín, provincia de Buenos Aires, en el período 2013-2016. Identificamos y analizamos acciones de cuidado (incluido el autocuidado) producto del conocimiento autorizado del grupo en articulación con los profesionales de salud del CAPS. Estas acciones individuales, grupales y colectivas conforman lógicas de cuidado que promueven el cuidado de sí. Esta propuesta metodológica se inscribe en la tradición del trabajo de campo colaborativo.
Рейтингование экономистов: современное состояние вопроса и перспективы дальнейших исследований
Authors: Московкин Владимир Михайлович , Синюань Сунь
Published: October 2017

Показано, что расчет рейтингов ученых на основе стандартных показателей РИНЦ без привязывания этих показателей к журнальным публикациям является ошибочным, так как в этом случае обнаруживается чрезмерно большое число цитирований учебников и монографий, идущих из диссертаций и их авторефератов. Данный вывод сделан из расчетов по рейтингу Е.В. Балацкого за 2016 г. Формализована известная преступная схема накручивания цитируемости и индекса Хирша, которая использует две различные группы журналов, в одной из которых публикуются статьи членов преступного оргкомитета конференций, а во второй журналы, используемые для накручивания ссылок членов этого оргкомитета. Проделан сравнительный корреляционно-регрессионный анализ рейтингов российских экономистов Е.В. Балацкого за 2015 и 2016 гг., который показал их плохую согласованность, что говорит о значительных различиях в методологиях их расчетов.

Published: October 2017

O feijão-caupi responde bem à adubação orgânica, aumentando sua produtividade quando o solo é adubado com estercos de animais, compostos orgânicos, húmus de minhoca e biofertilizante. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar o acúmulo de massa seca do feijão-caupi em função de diferentes quantidades de húmus de minhoca incorporadas ao solo e biofertilizantes orgânicos nas condições do semiárido nordestino. O experimento foi conduzido em condições de campo, na Universidade Estadual da Paraíba, em delineamento experimental em blocos completos casualizados, no esquema fatorial 4 x 2, com 5 repetições. O primeiro fator correspondeu a quatro quantidades de húmus de minhoca incorporadas ao solo (0,0; 0,5; 1,0 e 1,5 kg m-1) e o segundo fator, duas adubações via foliar na forma líquida (biofertilizante comum e húmus de minhoca). Avaliaram-se os rendimentos de massa seca da: folha, caule, raiz, parte aera, total e da relação parte/aérea. Não houve interação significativa entre os fatores tratamentos testados para nenhuma das características avaliadas. O maior acúmulo de massa seca do feijão-caupi foi registrado com a incorporação ao solo de 0,14 Kg m-1 de húmus de minhoca. Em termos de valores absolutos, o biofertilizante comum proporcionou maior massa seca do feijão-caupi.

Dry matter accumulation in cowpea under organic fertilization

Abstract: Cowpea responds well to organic fertilization, increasing its productivity when the soil is fertilized with animal manures, organic compounds, earthworm humus and biofertilizer. Thus, the objective of this research was to evaluate the dry mass accumulation of cowpea as a function of different amounts of earthworm humus incorporated in the soil and organic biofertilizers under the conditions of the northeastern semi-arid region. The experiment was conducted under field conditions, at Universidade Estaudal da Paraíba, in a randomized complete block design, in the 4 x 2 factorial scheme, with 5 replications. The first factor corresponded to four quantities of earthworm humus (0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kg m-1) and the second factor, two leaf fertilization in the liquid form (common biofertilizer and earthworm humus). The dry mass yields of leaf, stem, root, aera, total and part/air ratio were evaluated. There was no significant interaction between the factors treatments tested for any of the characteristics evaluated. The highest dry mass accumulation of cowpea was recorded with soil incorporation of 0.14 kg m-1 of worm humus. In terms of absolute values, the common biofertilizer provided a higher dry mass of cowpea.

Returns to Scale for EU Regions – evidence from the spatial panel model
Authors: Olejnik Alicja Anna
Published: October 2017

Recent findings emphasise the importance of localised returns to scale for the regional growth as well as for the agglomeration processes. However, it is still not well established whether returns to scale are constant or increasing, and to what extent. Therefore, in this study we apply specification which describes the productivity growth with the growth of output through the Verdoorn’s law. This study aims to provide some new estimates of the degree of returns to scale for EU regions. Our findings show that the hypothesis of increasing returns to scale is still valid in today’s EU economy. To test the hypothesis, we have employed the Multidimensional Spatial Panel Durbin Model with Spatial Fixed Effects. The research is conducted for 261 regions of the EU 28. The paper concludes that increasing returns to scale in EU regions are substantial.
Detection of diseases on example of participation in selected health programmes – spatial approach
Authors: Twardowska Klaudia
Published: October 2017

Health care prophylaxis as an element of health prevention has a major impact on health status of individual unit and consequently on society. In Poland there are significant disparities in health status and quality of life appearing in each region. The main problem in this field is the shortage of the appropriate financial support for combating these disparities, as well as insufficient action of some regions in terms of the promotion of healthy behavior, resulting in, eg. by the lack of suitable mechanisms required for their implementation. The result of the analyses should indicate the similarities and differences that exist in Polish voivodships. These result are from the defining common features in relation to ongoing programmes of health care prevention, detection by their specific disorders, as well as appearing opportunities for further treatment of selected diseases. The study included preventive health programmes implemented at the macro level, although most attention was paid to the Lodz province, due to its unfavourable epidemiological and demographics environment – analysis for the Lodz voivodships will be carried out at the NUTS–4 level. In addition, the article focuses on estimating an unit costs measurement of health programmes implemented in the Lodz region (financed by the Provincial Government of Lodz), in terms of per capita, as well as, in incremental values – in this way was possible to identify health programmes that have proved to be the most expensive, as well as identify those that manifested the greatest savings, contributing to the relatively high level of health effects.
Spatial Dependence Structure of Total Factor Productivity in Polish Local Administrative Districts
Authors: Ciołek Dorota , Brodzicki Tomasz
Published: October 2017

The interaction between space (location) and the processes of accumulation (growth) is one of the most interesting and at the same time the most difficult areas of modern economic theory. The up till now empirical research on determinants of regional productivity in the case of Poland is however relatively scarce. Most studies focus on explaining the variation in regional income per capita mostly at NUTS–2 and NUTS–3 levels, and only a few take into account a highly spatially disaggregated NUTS–4 level. We aim to fill this important gap. The present article has several objectives. We try to explain the spatial patterns of productivity, to identify the spatial range of productivity spillovers empirically and to identify the determinants of the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth in Poland with the use of spatial econometric modeling and the extended version of the Nelson‑Phelps (1966) model. The study adopts an NUTS-4 level of local administrative districts (powiats) which we find superior on both theoretical (market closing) and empirical grounds (spatial modeling). TFP in Poland assumes the highest values in the metropolitan centers and spreads out on their nearest surroundings with the maximum value for Warsaw. The secondary local hills in TFP are located in cities or towns with county rights. TFP, in general, shows a downward trend as one moves from the west to the east with the lowest values observed in the south‑eastern part of Poland. The range of TFP spillover is found to be of roughly 175–200 km and is nonlinearly decreasing from the local productivity hills. Furthermore, the rate of growth of TFP shows spatial autocorrelation and is found to depend positively on the rate of increase in human capital endowment and on the gap from the leader under certain assumptions. We find no evidence of the channel through imports. However, the FDI channel is found to be robust and strong.
Lokalne determinanty starzenia się populacji w Polsce

Polskie społeczeństwo starzeje się i konsekwencje tego procesu już mają wpływ na nasze codzienne życie. Celem tego artykułu jest identyfikacja i określenie kierunku działania czynników, które pozwolą wyjaśnić, dlaczego niektóre gminy starzeją się szybciej od pozostałych. Używając miary autokorelacji przestrzennej (I Morana), a także regresji przestrzennej na danych panelowych, analizujemy charakterystyki polskich gmin w latach 2003–2013. Zmienną zależną w badaniu jest udział w populacji gminy osób starszych (w wieku 70 lat i więcej). Wyniki wskazują na silną autokorelację przestrzenną, co znaczy, że starzenie się populacji w danej gminie jest silnie powiązane z tempem starzenia się w gminach z nią sąsiadujących. W wyjaśnieniu analizowanego zjawiska ważne okazuje się również wiele charakterystyk społeczno‑gospodarczych gminy, w tym sieć transportowa (autostrady i drogi ekspresowe) łącząca gminę z innymi ośrodkami.
Deprived Urban Neighbourhoods in Poland – Risk of Intergenerational Transmission of Poverty and Social Exclusion
Authors: Warzywoda-Kruszyńska Wielisława , Kruszyński Kamil
Published: October 2017

The paper applies to the problem of child poverty and social deprivation that scholars consider an obstacle for present and future development of society, as it is expressed in the concept of the social investment state. In the article, we discuss the issue in the context of neighbourhood effects approach since growing up in neglected communities is a risk factor for poverty perpetuation in the course of life and across generations. Because the small urban area statistics is unavailable in Poland, we provide results of sociological case study carried out in urban neglected neighbourhoods in Łódź. It enables to present the problem of child poverty through the lens of those affected by disadvantage. The broader context for the discussed problem offer results of analysis based on public statistics concerning dynamics of child poverty and social deprivation in Poland, as compared with other EU member states. Applying interdisciplinary approach, the article aims at getting better understanding of the phenomenon of poverty and social deprivation among children in Poland and its dynamics. We argue that temporal patterns of child poverty and social deprivation may be different in mainstream society approached in research based on representative samples and in poor population living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Therefore, we conclude that despite significant decrease in poverty and social deprivation among children, as documented by public statics, Poland is still a country where child poverty is a serious problem and where the grownups located at the bottom of social ladder are “children left behind”.

Dynamiczny wzrost liczby najstarszych mieszkańców naszego kraju (tzw. proces podwójnego starzenia się) i ich problemy w najbliższych dekadach zdominują prawdopodobnie dyskurs dotyczący seniorów. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie potencjalnych motywów migracji osób po 75. roku życia, mieszkańców wielkich miast w Polsce. Przedstawiony materiał pochodzi z badań własnych, które zostały zrealizowane między lutym a sierpniem 2016 roku. Wyniki analizy wskazują, że starsi Polacy niechętnie zmieniają miejsce zamieszkania, a głównym motywem migracji są problemy zdrowotne.
Ludzie starzy w oczach młodzieży – wyniki badań własnych
Authors: Pakos Elżbieta
Published: October 2017

Artykuł prezentuje rezultaty badań własnych, które dotyczyły postrzegania człowieka starszego przez współczesną młodzież. Grupa badana to uczniowie szkoły ponadgimnazjalnej regionu łódzkiego oraz młodzież akademicka. W badaniu sondażowym udział wzięło 116 osób, w tym 84 kobiety i 32 mężczyzn. Celem badania było zdiagnozowanie postaw wobec seniorów wśród przed­stawicieli polskiej młodzieży, w szczególności wśród uczniów szkoły ponadgimnazjalnej i studentów. Z badań wyłania się obraz młodych ludzi, których opinie na temat osób starszych zależą od tego, czy odnoszą się do grupy seniorów w ogólności, czy też do osób starych znanych osobiście, np. dziadków. Studenci częściej niż uczniowie zauważają, że osoby starsze są potrzebne polskiemu społeczeństwu.
Wypłaty dywidend spółek giełdowych z udziałem kapitałowym otwartych funduszy emerytalnych
Authors: Uchman Jacek
Published: October 2017

Celem artykułu jest ocena wypłat dywidend dokonywanych przez spółki giełdowe z udziałem kapitałowym otwartych funduszy emerytalnych (OFE). Innymi słowy chodzi o to, jaki efekt dla wypłat dywidend wynika z faktu, że udziałowcami spółek są OFE, czyli najbardziej znacząca grupa inwestorów instytucjonalnych na polskim rynku giełdowym. Podstawowe pytanie badawcze brzmi: „Czy spółki z udziałem OFE dokonują wypłat dywidend częściej niż ogół spółek giełdowych?”. Analizie poddano liczbę spółek wypłacających. Badania empiryczne oparto na podstawie danych spółek z indeksów giełdowych sWIG80 i WIG20. Wyniki nie są przesądzające, ale wskazują, że spółki z udziałem OFE częściej dokonywały wypłat niż ogół spółek z analizowanych indeksów. Przedmiotem zainteresowania nie są same OFE i uwarunkowania ich działalności, ale wypłaty dywidend. Otwarte fundusze emerytalne są objęte rozważaniami o tyle, o ile wiążą się z podziałem zysku (polityką dywidend) spółek giełdowych.

Authors: Nowakowska Aleksandra , Walczak Bartosz
Published: October 2017

W ostatnich dwóch dekadach nastąpiła reinterpretacja czynników i mechanizmów rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego, opisana w ramach terytorialnego paradygmatu. Wprowadzono pojęcie kapitału terytorialnego i terytorializacji procesów rozwoju mocno eksponujące zasoby specyficzne miejsca i niematerialne uwarunkowania rozwoju gospodarczego. Elementem kapitału terytorialnego jest dziedzictwo poprzemysłowe tworzące specyficzność wielu miast. Dziedzictwo to, obejmujące materialne i niematerialne elementy, jest postrzegane jako kluczowy czynnik rozwoju terytorialnego. Celem artykułu jest analiza dziedzictwa poprzemysłowego w kontekście paradygmatu rozwoju terytorialnego. Ilustracją dla rozważań teoretycznych jest analiza typu case study potencjału poprzemysłowego Łodzi. Zdaniem autorów kapitał ten tworzy w Łodzi specyficzny potencjał terytorialny i wywiera wciąż istotny wpływ na jego rozwój. W pracy zaprezentowano interdyscyplinarne podejście łączące wątki gospodarcze, społeczne i techniczne. Zastosowana metoda badawcza to krytyczna analiza literatury przedmiotu połączona z analizą case study.

Prawidłowa ocena zdolności kredytowej leży w interesie kredytodawcy i kredytobiorcy oraz służy stabilności systemu finansowego. W artykule dokonano identyfikacji głównych nieprawidłowości występujących w procesie oceny zdolności kredytowej klientów detalicznych, występujących zarówno po stronie banków jak i klientów. Należą do nich przyjmowanie niskich buforów bezpieczeństwa stóp procentowych, zaniżania kosztów utrzymania, nadmierne wydłużanie okresu kredytowania, zaniedbywanie obowiązków informacyjnych oraz zatajanie informacji przez konsumentów. W tekście znalazły się także propozycje działań korygujących i naprawczych, będących w dyspozycji obu stron rynku, podnoszących skuteczność oceny zdolności kredytowej.
Ethical aspects of communication with clients in phone banking
Authors: Szewczyk Monika
Published: October 2017

The current state of development of technology allows communication through more and more new channels. The internet and mobile phones have become the main way to communicate. Banks and other financial institutions use these new forms of communication to maintain a constant relation with their clients. Most of these new forms not only support the activity of banks, but also facilitate use of the bank’s products and services by the client. One of the most popular forms of communication with clients is by phone. At the same time, the developments in the concept of corporate social responsibility are observed and determine ethical rules for business. The rules examined in this paper relate to consumer issues, and the paper discusses some ethical aspects, such as relations with clients, fair and transparent marketing policy, market education, reliable information about the products and services and their impact on the health and safety of the customers. The aim of this study is to examine whether phone banking is perceived by clients as an ethical method of communication. The paper analyzes the ethical aspects of phone banking and also presents empirical findings on the basis of research conducted among the clients.

The objective of this study was to determine the bioavailability of selected minerals from Maize Germ Oilcake. Fifteen Karan Fries male calves of 6-12 months of age were selected and given 1.3, 1.7 and 2.1 kg/d of maize germ oilcake (MGOC) along with 1.7, 1.3 and 0.9 kg/d of wheat straw (WS) in three groups of 5 animals each for 21 days of adaptation period followed by 7 days of metabolism trial. Digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), ether extract (EE) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) varied significantly between the groups. Apparent absorption values of Calcium (Ca), Phosphorus (P), Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Molybdenum (Mo) and Zinc (Zn) for maize germ oil cake were in the range of 51.31-56.32%, 44.16-46.16%, 46.09-46.75%, 8.39-12.73%, 7.21-9.59%, 3.38-5.18%, 25.26-27.84%, 46.45-48% and 25.54-26.49%. Addition of maize germ oil cake at varying levels did not have variations in the apparent absorption of minerals.
Influence of dates of sowing and irrigation scheduling on phenology, growth and yield dynamics of fenugreek (trigonella foenum greacum l.)
Authors: Bhutia Pemba H.
Published: October 2017

An investigation was carried out at the Horticultural Research Station, BCKV, West Bengal for identifying the best date of sowing and irrigation in fenugreek. The sowing was done in five different dates ie. 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd November and 28th December using three irrigation levels. The results showed significant variation with different dates of sowing and irrigation on phenology, growth and yield of fenugreek. Sowing date had significant effects on seed yield and its components. Seed yield of fenugreek was also dependent on irrigation scheduling. Projected seed yield/hectare was maximum (1.37 and 1.4 t ha-1) on 2nd November (17.66 and 17.9 g) with irrigation in all major growth stages. It may be concluded that to obtain higher seed yield fenugreek should be sown earlier at 2nd November and irrigation should be given at seedling, branching, flowering, pod formation, pod development stages.

In order to best exploit the available genetic wealth in the crop, the information would have paramount important. Therefore, this study was conceived to examine the variability and determines the relative importance of primary and secondary traits as selection criteria to improve productivity. Field pea (Pisum sativum L. var. arvense) is amongst the most important legume crop of India. The experimental material comprised of 120 field pea germplasm including 40 indigenous and 10 exotic collections of pea and 4 check varieties viz., HUDP-15, HFP-4, HUP-2, Rachna. Five competitive plants from each plot were randomly selected for recording observations for all the quantitative characters except days to 50 per cent flowering and days to maturity, which were recorded on line basis. In present study a strong and positive association of seed yield per plant observed with harvest index, biological yield per plant, plant height, number of seeds per pod, number of primary branches per plant, number of pods per plant and 100-seed weight. Days to maturity and number of seeds per pod showed positive correlation with days to 50 per cent flowering and number of primary branches per plant respectively. Days to maturity and 100-seed weight and number of pods per plant showed weak association with seed yield per plant in positive direction. Thus, these characters emerged as most vital component traits and associated positively with seed yield per plant.

A field experiment was conducted to know the gene action and selection of superior parents of velvet bean for hybridization. The heterosis and combining ability study was carried out using 6x6 half diallel mating design excluding reciprocals. Combining ability analysis revealed that magnitude of sca variance was greater than gca variance suggesting the predominance of non additive gene action for most of the traits except days to 50 per cent flowering, number of flowers per inflorescence, number of pods per bunch and 100 seed weight where gca variance was greater than sca variance indicating predominance of additive gene action. Based on gca effects, parents Arka Dhanwantari, IIHR Selection 8 and IIHR Selection 2 were best general combiners for the traits such as number of flowers per inflorescence, pod length, pod weight, number of bunches per plant, number of pods per bunch, dry pod yield and seed yield per plant which can be used in future breeding programme. Specific combining ability studies indicated cross IIHR Selection 2 x IIHR Selection 8 as best specific combiner for the economically important traits viz., pod length, pod weight, dry pod yield per plant and seed yield per plant. The cross IIHR Selection 8 x IIHR Selection 3 was recorded high heterotic effects for dry pod yield per plant, seed yield per plant and test weight of the seed. The cross IIHR Selection 2 x IIHR Selection 8 as superior hybrid as recorded high heterobeltiosis for days to 50% flowering, pod length, pod weight, dry pod yield per plant and seed yield per plant and days to maturity which can be exploited in future breeding programme.
