A Review of the Genus Lipolexis Förster, 1862 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae: Aphidiinae) in the Fauna of Ukraine
Authors: Kaliuzhna M. O.
Published: February 2019

Genus Lipolexis Förster, 1862 is represented by four species in the world fauna and only one species, Lipolexis gracilis Förster, 1862, in the fauna of Europe, and Ukraine as well. Data on the genus Lipolexis and its species L. gracilis are presented according to available published information and material from collection of I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, NAS of Ukraine, identified by author. Lipolexis gracilis is distributed generally in Palaerctic and Oriental regions, where it prefers steppificated habitats. In Ukraine species is recorded in Cherkasy, Kirovohrad and Ternopil Regions, which are situated in Forest-Steppe Zone and Zone of Broadleaf Forests of Ukraine. Lipolexis gracilis is polyphagous species that parasitizes various aphid species mostly from subfamily Aphidinae, as well as aphids from subfamily Anoeciinae and subfamily Calaphidinaе. Data on tritrophic interactions of L. gracilis in the fauna of Ukraine is given and possibility of species application as a biocontrol agent is discussed. In Ukraine L. gracilis was reared from Aphis craccae L., Aphis craccivora Koch, Aphis fabae Scopoli, and Brachycaudus cardui L. Among hosts of L. gracilis, there are economically important aphids, and this species was previously used as biocontrol agent of soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura. On our opinion this aphidiine species could be considered as potential biocontrol agent of other economically important aphid species. To facilitate identification of L. gracilis a new morphological character is established: this is the ratio of the forewing length and the length of C+SC+R vein. This character will facilitate identification of broken specimens.

Performance Drivers in a Multinational Enterprise
Authors: Bigley Dr. Joel
Published: February 2019

Performance is associated typically with a sustained growth rate. Corporate initiatives are dedicated to growth opportunities; however, the sustainable realization of growth has received little attention in literature, despite often being identified as a goal for managers, thereby ultimately leading to unrealized value. The assumption is that performance is sustained competitive advantage that produces a conglomerate surplus. While this is true, this study shows that performance is capability and execution that produces sustained corporate advantage as an outcome. Details emerge from the case study to provide clarity on performance aspects.
Fault Lines within the Ethiopian People Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF): Intraparty Network and Governance system
Authors: Bayu Takele Bekele
Published: February 2019

Ethiopia People Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRD) is a political party in charge of government power since 1991. EPRDF is established in 1989 out of Rebel group to party transformation with the view to oust the military government called Derg. It is a coalition of four parties political organization i.e. Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF)- which is an architect of EPRDF, Amhara National Democratic Movements (ANDM) in 1980,  Oromo People Liberation Organization (OPDO ) and Southern Ethiopian People Democratic Movement ( SEPDM)  However, in spite of the nominally coalition structure of the EPRDF, from the beginning the TPLF provided the leadership and ideological direction to other members of the coalition. To maintain the dominant position within the coalition the TPLF has transferred its rebel time internal governance network  that focuses on traditional Marxist Leninist organizational lines, with an emphasis on “democratic centralism”; and a tradition of hierarchically organizational structure to the newly established political organization i.e. EPRDF. Consequently, the EPRDF intraparty network and governance system is dominated by the use of ML (Marxist-Leninist) authoritarian methods and hegemonic control, rigid hierarchical leadership; Democratic centralism, the dominance of the party apparatus behind the façade of regional and local autonomy, an extensive patron-client mechanisms;  the use of force to silence opposition within and outside the party; intertwined State institutions and the party system and excessive reliance on party entity instead of state administration units; and gim gema (self-evaluation)  are worth mentioning. These intraparty network and governance system have severely limited genuine democratization within the party as well as hampered the democratization process in the country.  The party is facing increasing pressure and challenge from within the party and the public at large demanding equal status and fair political economic representation. In effect, EPRDF is in deep crisis shattered by internal divisions, crises as well as external public pressure forcing the party to entertain democratic principles and culture. Hence, it is recommended that the organizational structure and the values and principles governing the organization should be revisited within the framework of democracy which allows adaptability and flexibility given the various change agents in the socio-cultural, economic, political environment.
Impacts of Fulani Herdsmen-farmers’ Conflicts on Food Production in Gujba and Tarmuwa Local Government Areas of Yobe State, Nigeria

Published: February 2019

The research which studied impacts of Fulani herdsmen- farmers’ conflicts on crop production in Gujba and Tarmuwa Local Government Areas of Yobe state, Nigeria was conducted between the months of Januiary- February, 2019. Descriptive survey design involving mixed methods was used. Self-made Closed ended questionnaire and Structured Interview Guide were the data collection instruments used. Purposive and Systematic Random sampling techniques were used to select the 397 respondents who participated in the study. The sample size comprised of Fulani herdsmen, farmers, village and ward heads as well as some officials of the Department of Agriculture of the two L.G.A. Data collected was analysed in SPSS Version 20 using Descriptive Statistics and Chi square. Findings revealed that the majority of the respondents including both herdsmen and farmers were subsistence farmers though few also engage in commercial farming. Regarding the causes of the conflicts, lack of grazing fields, indiscriminate bush burning, crop destruction, Boko Haram insurgency etc. were responsible for the occurrence of the clashes. No significant difference was found in the perceptions of the herdsmen and farmers on causes of the conflicts. Impacts of Fulani herdsmen-farmers’ conflicts as revealed by the study included loss of crops, reduced productivity, loss of lives, increase in prices of agricultural products, increased poverty etc. Based on the findings made, it was concluded that, if the causes of herdsmen-farmers’ conflicts were not properly addressed; its impacts will continue to escalate with devastating consequences. Besides, the menace of food insecurity and Boko Haram insurgency which have bedeviled the areas for many years can also be worsened by the impacts of such conflicts especially that poverty, food insecurity and increased tension were also cited by many scholars as some of the factors fuelling Boko Haram insurgency in the areas studied. Thus, it was recommended that, in order to bring an end to the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers, governments at all levels should work out modalities on how to stop crop destruction by establishing cattle tracks and grazing zones where crop farming will be severely restricted and prevent indiscriminate bush burning. Sensitization programmes on how to maintain cordial relationships between farming communities and herdsmen should be organized by the government and other stakeholders while the issue of Boko Haram insurgency which led to decrease in farmers’ productivity should also be well addressed by the government and bring an end to it. Besides, the current land tenure system should be relaxed such that land acquisition becomes easier so that farm owners can expand their farms and produce more food crops and herdsmen can have access to more grazing fields.

Abstract:

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw may appear as adverse effect in antiresorptive therapy. Its successful treatment is challenging. We aimed to gather the systemic and local factors playing a role in etiology, published after its recognition. Risk factors were collected from the PubMed database 1998–2018. The three main groups of risk patients are: patients starting, patients having antiresorptive therapy, osteonecrosis diagnosed patients. The dentist must recognize risk factors, determine appropriate treatment plan and frequency of check-ups. Oncological disease treated intravenously means the greatest risk. Further systemic risk factors are: supportive therapies, concomitant disease, way of life, individual factors. Local risk factors may be: dentoalveolar surgery, periapical and periodontal inflammation, ill-fitting denture, presence of some anatomical structures. The accumulation of risk factors determines the probability of the manifestation of osteonecrosis. The most favorable case is patient starting antiresorptive therapy with a dental status needing no treatment. Orv hetil. 2019; 160(7): 243–251.

Abstract:

In the last few years, the emergence of new high throughput molecular technologies allowed a never-before-seen insight into the genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic and proteomic background of cancers. These studies have been performed in a large number of patients’ samples and provided a great amount of data. Current efforts to translate these new findings into therapeutic strategies are ongoing, but already provided significant information which may change clinical practice in the near future. As a result of this development, the most frequent molecular alterations and affected pathways responsible for the formation and progression of prostate cancer have been identified. In this review, we provide an overview on the current progress in primary and metastatic prostate cancer research focusing on the molecular subtype classification and the most frequently dysregulated pathways, such as androgen signaling, PI3K pathway, cell cycle and DNA repair regulation. In this context, we highlight therapies already approved or are currently under clinical investigation for prostate cancer. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(7): 252–263.

The Editors' Network of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) provides a dynamic forum for editorial discussions and endorses the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) to improve the scientific quality of biomedical journals. Authorship confers credit and important academic rewards. Recently, however, the ICMJE emphasized that authorship also requires responsibility and accountability. These issues are now covered by the new (fourth) criterion for authorship. Authors should agree to be accountable and ensure that questions regarding the accuracy and integrity of the entire work will be appropriately addressed. This review discusses the implications of this paradigm shift on authorship requirements with the aim of increasing awareness on good scientific and editorial practices.
Severe parasympathicotonia in men with hypertension is accompanied by an increase in the chronic venous diseases’ signs
Authors: Baev V. M. , Vagapov T. F. , Shmeleva S. A.
Published: February 2019

Aim. To study the relationship of subjective and objective signs of chronic venous diseases (CVD) with the state of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in men with arterial hypertension (AH).

Material and methods. The object of the study were 74 men with AH at the age of 30-50 years with SBP level 148 (144-155) mm Hg. and DBP 101 (92-108) mm Hg. Two groups of 20 people were selected with the extreme parameters of vegetative index (Kerdo index).

Results. The most common complaints in patients with severe parasympathicotonia were pain in the legs and fatigue when walking, cramps in the calf muscles, oedema and sural trophic disorders. An objective examination of patients with severe vagotonia revealed a more frequent occurrence of the leading symptom of CVD — oedema.

Conclusion. AH with severe parasympathicotonia in men 30-50 years old is characterized by an increase in the frequency of subjective and objective signs of CVD, which indicates the role of ANS in the development of CVD in AH.
The dependence of сircannual dynamics of blood pressure on seasonal fluctuations of meteorological and heliophysical factors. Meta-analysis
Authors: Kuzmenko N. V. , Pliss M. G. , Tsyrlin V. A.
Published: February 2019

Many clinical studies have shown seasonal dynamics of blood pressure (BP), which most authors attribute to seasonal variations in air temperature. However, the fact that in the conditions of modern urban society the influence on the person of air temperature on the street is minimized, as well as the fact that the seasonal dynamics of BP is observed and in a tropical climate contradict this statement. It is known, that the length of the day, the atmospheric pressure, the relative humidity, geomagnetic activity are subject to seasonal dynamics. Studies have shown that fluctuations in these meteorological factors can cause change in blood pressure.

Aim.To use meta-analysis of the results of studies, conducted in different climatic zones (from subarctic to tropical) and devoted to seasonal dynamics of BP, to determine which meteorological conditions most often corresponded to the annual maximum of BP and which to the annual minimum of BP.

Material and methods. We selected 15 publications about seasonal dynamics of BP and seasonal exacerbations of arterial hypertension in 21 regions of the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth.

Results.We confirmed that, in addition to air temperature, other factors are also subject to seasonal dynamics (atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, partial oxygen density in the air). No correlation was found between the amplitude of seasonal fluctuations in air temperature and the amplitude of seasonal fluctuations in BP. In addition, the amplitude of drcannual blood pressure fluctuations was greater in regions with a clear seasonal dynamics of the average monthly atmospheric pressure, compared with regions in which the this parameter does not have a clear seasonal dynamics. Also, in some regions, the seasonal maximum of BP coincided with high geomagnetic activity.

Conclusion. According to the results, we concluded that seasonal fluctuations of BP are not a reaction of the cardiovascular system to seasonal dynamics of air temperature only. Most likely, seasonal fluctuations of BP are caused by changes in all meteorological factors that have seasonal dynamics.
The couplings of rock/carbonate groundwater/cement leachate
Authors: Chen Junjie , Chen Xiaohui , Wang Manhui , Thornton Steve , Wang Yueyang , Ma Yue
Published: February 2019

Hyper-alkaline cement leachates generated from the cement buffer of a nuclear waste disposal site have significant influences on the mineralogy of the host rock, creating a chemically disturbed zone (CDZ). Three major types of cement leachates are formed during the evolution process. Most of the existing scenario modelling research has been focused on the influence of the cement leachate on the host rock. However, the influence of the groundwater in the host rock on the evolution of the CDZ remains unexplored. This paper presents a numerical scenario modelling of the couplings among carbonate groundwater, cement leachates and rock minerals. The results reveal that the high-carbonate groundwater significantly affects the precipitation of calcium silicate hydrate and calcite and consequently alters the physical and chemical properties of the host rock. This finding provides an essential guide for the selection of the location of a geological disposal facility in terms of groundwater chemistry.
Reversible and irreversible deformations of expansive clays
Authors: Mawlood Yousif Ismael , Hummadi Rizgar Ali
Published: February 2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the size effect of reversible and irreversible components of volume change behaviour of highly expansive and moderately expansive soils experimentally. The soil deformations of small-, large- and extra-large-scale samples were measured during wetting and drying cycles. Accurate dial gauges were used for measuring vertical deformation, and digital image correlation techniques were adopted for measuring horizontal desiccation cracks using a microcrack measuring device. Wetting and drying cycles that rely on seasonal moisture content variations in the subsoils were performed on an extra-large field model of a highly expansive soil. Results were compared with those of standard swelling tests to estimate vertical swelling and shrinkage-induced soil deformations that are expected in practice under public infrastructures. The field model, which represents reconstituted soil samples, presented a free swelling of 3·61% in the first cycle. In the second cycle, reversible free swelling increased by 7·68% over the first cycle given the irreversible components of shrinkage caused by lateral desiccation cracks. Irreversible deformations were observed during the drying processes through a network of microcracks and macrocracks. The reversible and irreversible deformations during the first drying process were 45·7% and 54·3%, respectively.
Mechanistic-empirical analysis of geogrid-stabilized layered systems: Part I. Solutions
Authors: Sun X. , Han J.
Published: February 2019

It is well known that the mechanisms of geogrids in stabilizing base courses over subgrade include lateral restraint and tensioned membrane effects. However, no elastic solutions are available to quantify the responses of base and subgrade due to the effect of a geogrid. This study aimed to develop elastic solutions for geogrid-stabilized base courses over subgrade by considering lateral restraint and tensioned membrane effects. For the analysis of the geogrid-stabilized layered elastic system, lateral resistance and vertical support of the geogrid were expressed as two external stresses determined by the vertical and lateral deformations. The external stresses were then applied at the interface of the two-layer elastic system as continuity conditions and the elastic solutions under a circular load in a cylindrical coordinate were developed according to the elastic theory. The solutions are able to simulate the elastic responses of soil layers due to the effect of the geogrid, for example, elastic strains, vertical stresses, and radial stresses. In addition, the lateral restraint and tensioned membrane effects can be separated by only applying the corresponding external stress at the interface. In the companion paper, the solutions are first verified by test data and then discussed.
Deformations of reinforced-concrete beam–column joint assemblies
Authors: Lee Jung-Yoon , Park Jongwook , Kim Changhyuk
Published: February 2019

Beam–column joints are generally recognised as critical regions in the analysis and design of moment-resisting reinforced-concrete (RC) frames subjected to both lateral and vertical loads. Such joints should be designed and detailed to ensure that they have adequate overstrength and allow adjacent beams to reach their full ductile capacities. To develop an improved method for predicting the deformation capacity of RC beam–column joint assemblies, the deformation contributions of structural members connecting the joint should be considered. A method is proposed to predict the deformation component ratios of RC beam–column joint assemblies that fail in shear after the adjacent beams have reached their full plastic capacities. The proposed method takes into account the effect of the longitudinal axial strain in the plastic hinge region of beams on the joint longitudinal strain and the strength deterioration of the joint. To verify the deformations of typical RC beam–column joint assemblies estimated using the proposed method, six specimens were tested. Furthermore, 35 experimental results of joints reported in the technical literature were compared with the deformations predicted by the proposed method. Comparisons between the observed and calculated deformations of the considered RC beam–column joint assemblies showed reasonable agreement.
Design of pedestrian network friendliness maps
Authors: Sousa Nuno , Pais Filipe , Natividade-Jesus Eduardo , Coutinho-Rodrigues João
Published: February 2019

This paper introduces the concept of pedestrian or walking friendliness (WF), and presents a methodology for obtaining maps thereof. WF is a quality of walking indicator, defined for any given origin in a city, which combines accessibility measures, based on impedance between that origin and destinations, with performance scores for the pedestrian infrastructure linking those origins and destinations. The methodology uses geographic information systems to obtain WF values and represent them in a map. The approach is demonstrated through a case study for the city of Coimbra, Portugal, for which friendliness maps were derived. The procedure and maps that were produced can be scaled to any size of city.

Published: February 2019

Рассмотрена фазовая диаграмма системы SiO2-Al2O3. Представлен обзор методов синтеза муллита, в т. ч., обжигом природных алюмосиликатов, из расплава методом Чохральского, методом Вернейля из геля, и твердофазным методом из шихты стехиометрического состава. По литературным данным установлено, что параметры ромбической решетки и габитус кристаллов муллита напрямую зависят от величины соотношения алюминия и кремния в исходной шихте, содержания примесей, способа термической обработки и формы введения в шихту исходных компонентов. На размер кристаллов муллита влияет наличие фторида алюминия в шихте, что при определенных соотношениях позволяет получать конечный продукт в виде вискерсов. Рассмотрено воздействие минерализаторов на выход муллита: фториды щелочных металлов его уменьшают, а сульфаты и хлориды увеличивают, а также влияют на вязкость и структуру расплава. С этой целью рассмотрены  различные добавки и их влияние на характер синтеза, структуру и свойства.  Выявлены структурные особенности  кристаллической решетки муллита, влияющие на изоморфные замещения. Рассмотрена возможность получения изоморфно замещенных разновидностей муллитов. В работе приведены оптические характеристики изоморфно замещенных муллитов, содержащих d-элементы.

This is a modified protocol for extracting DNA by the phenol chloroform method from Leishmania stationary phase cells adapted from Uliana et.al. (1991). This protocol yields a large amount of DNA. However, the inorganic solvents used (phenol and chlorofromium) leave many residues in the sample. Therefore it is advisable to perform at least 5 washes in 70% ethanol in the penultimate step of the protocol. This protolocolo compatible for the realization of conventional PCR, real time, RFLP. It is not suitable for obtaining DNA to be used in total genome sequencing.

İletişimde dijital uygulamaların yaygınlaşması, uygulamaları bilen ve kullanan nitelikli insan
kaynağına ihtiyacı artırmıştır. Dijitalleşmeye yönelik artan eğilim üniversitelerdeki eğitim içeriğini
de buna uygun hale getirmeyi gerekli kılmıştır. Dijitalleşmenin ortaya çıkması halkla ilişkilerde yeni
ihtiyaçları beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu nedenle halkla ilişkiler eğitimi alan öğrencilerin de ortaya çıkan
bu ihtiyaçlara cevap vermesi gerekmektedir. Bunun yolu ise ancak üniversitelerde dijitalleşmeye
yönelik farkındalığı sağlayacak alınan derslerle mümkündür.
Bu çalışmada Türkiye ve ABD’de halkla ilişkiler eğitimi veren üniversitelerin derslerinde
dijitalleşmeye yönelik eğitimlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu sayede halkla ilişkiler eğitiminde
iki ülke arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıklar ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmış ve karşılaştırma yapılmıştır.
Araştırmada üniversiteleri belirlemek için iki liste seçilmiş ve üniversitelerin web sayfalarında
ders içeriklerine yönelik veriler toplanmıştır. Çalışmada betimleyici araştırma tasarımı yöntemi
kullanılmıştır. İncelenen üniversitelerin eğitim içerikleri, içerik analizi yöntemi ile belirlenen başlıklar
altında değerlendirilmiştir.
Elde edilen sonuçlara göre her iki ülkede dijital odaklı verilen derslerin sayıları arasında farklılık
bulunmaktadır. Dersler seçmeli ders olarak öğrencinin tercihine bırakılmıştır. Dijital içerikli dersler
çoğunlukla üçüncü sınıfta öğrencilere verilmektedir. Sosyal medya dersleri daha ön planda öğrencilere
sunulmaktadır. Her iki ülkede devlet üniversitelerinde dijital içerikli derslerin oranı daha fazladır.
ABD’deki üniversitelerde dijital dersleri alabilmek için öğrencilerin önkoşul gerektiren dersleri
tamamlamaları gerekmektedir. Türkiye’de ise böyle bir ön koşul bulunmamaktadır.

Dijital çağda gazetecilik eğitiminin içeriğinin sektörün taleplerine cevap verebilecek
biçimde tekrar gözden geçirilmesi gerekmektedir. Sektörde kullanılan teknolojilerin
dijitalleşmesi, sayıca artması gazetecilik eğitimine yansımaktadır. Süreç gazeteciliğin
evrilmesine bağlı olarak, mesleki becerilerin yeniden tanımlanmasını ve eğitim
müfredatlarında değişime gidilmesini gerektirmektedir. Gazetecilik alanı ve
uygulamalarının dijitalleşmesi, mesleki becerileri de hızlı bir şekilde dönüştürmüştür.
Ancak gazeteciliğin dijitalleşme süreci, ülkeler arasında farklılıklarını korumaktadır.
Haberin üretimi, dağıtımı ve tüketiminde dijital bir dönüşümün olması, ülkelerin
gazetecilik eğitimi müfredatlarında alanın yeni teknolojilerine uygun değişikliklere
gidilmesini zorunda hale getirmektedir. Bu çalışma; gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan
ülkelerin gazetecilik eğitimi veren beş üniversitesinin müfredatlarındaki ders
içeriklerinin ve staj olanaklarının çevrimiçi (online) gazetecilik alanına ne denli
uygun olup olmadığının araştırıldığı, öğrencilere kazandırılan mesleki becerilerle
yaratılan “yeni dönem gazeteci” özelliklerinin ülkelere göre değişiminin ortaya
konulduğu karşılaştırmalı bir örnek olay çalışmasıdır. Ülkelerin gazetecilik eğitimleri
üzerinden sektörün geldiği aşamalar yorumlanarak, gazetecilik eğitiminin değişim
süreci irdelenmektedir

The magnetometric section of the marine areas geophysics is characterized by the transition to a qualitatively new level of research, pipeline tracing, search for sunken ships, aerial bombs and unexploded ordnance, study of sunken objects of cultural heritage, identification of such sunken objects (inverse magnetometry problem), etc. The identification of such objects is called the inverse problem of marine magnetometry, and it belongs to the class of incorrectly posed task. The first step in solving this task is to find solution of the direct problem. A direct problem is to determine the anomalous field created by objects of a certain shape, density under certain conditions of immersion and accumulation of information about these objects. Problems of determining the anomalous field of a thin-walled objects are of particular interest. The solution to this problem is largely determined by the existence of an effective system of programs for solving three-dimensional direct magnetometry problems – finding the fields of typical objects (by using sets of such objects you can approximate real objects). The article describes the operation of the main algorithm and subroutines that are part of the main algorithm of the developed MBEM software for modeling the magnetic fields of thin-walled structures. MBEM is based on the developed modified boundary element method, based on the classical boundary element method and the secondary source method. Numerical verification has been carried out and the efficiency of the developed algorithms and software components has been established on the problems of calculating the magnetic field of thin-walled structures for which solutions are known. The example of the software complex work is given – the calculation of the resulting field of a thin-walled pipe, namely the simulation of the tension vector in the plane that is under the object at a distance of one half meter.

n this study, a scientific interpretation of escape and entertainment TV viewing motives is considered in the view of Uses and Gratifications Theory. More specifically, it is analysed how the TV viewing motives, initially elaborated for general TV use, are important to the TV news consumption. How strong are the motivations to escape and seek for entertainment in TV newscasts? Given that primary goal of TV news viewing is obtaining information about the society and the world, TV news largely perform the instrumental role. However, in digital era, TV news are a combination of hard news (serious newsworthy topics, with analytical approach) and soft news (entertaining news items that rely mainly on attracting viewers’ attention, and relief after watching hard news). After TV viewers return home, there is usually no matter what to watch, but it is important just to relax. Though the amount of soft news is relatively small, it was studied how strong viewers’ motive is to watch an average TV newscast as a means to escape or being entertained. Our study indicates that TV news has to be considered within two motivational patterns elaborated by U&G scholars for general TV use: instrumental and ritualistic viewing. Escape and entertainment motives are indisputable attributes of ritualistic use, whereas informational or surveillance motive leads to instrumental use. Within Uses and Gratifications Theory, the concepts of escapism and entertainment occupy central positions in the row of TV viewing motives. However, they are often considered as a motivation to watch entertainment TV – fictional or reality-based programmes. But specific motivational structure that drives viewers to watch TV news remain largely meagre and divergent. In this study there was analysed the evidence that indicate various extents of strength of escapism and entertainment motives towards TV news viewing. Notwithstanding some criticisms, U&G proved to be an enduring scientific approach. In U&G research, watching TV news is regarded as a process, aimed at obtaining messages about the world and neighbourhood, as well as information necessary for everyday decision making by the viewer and her/his relatives. In recent decades, the infotainment genre or soft news has been becoming more popular, and more and more tabloid TV stations tend to consider that TV news should entertain the viewers not less than to inform, or even more.

Mass production of fiberglass boats begun in the mid-50s of the 20th century. Over decades, a large number of such boats accumulated throughout the world. Since the lifespan of these boats is 30 to 50 years, at the moment many fiberglass boats simply arived to the end of their life and need to be appropriately disposed in a safe and environmentally friendly way. It is expected that the disposal of boats will become a more pronounced problem, in which the basic issue is the relatively high cost. The main problem is the fiberglass laminate which constitutes the major part of the boat. As of today, there are no economically viable methods. Many countries do not have special programs for the disposal of worn out fiberglass boats, which would undoubtedly provide the answers to many questions. The paper gives an overview of the disposal conditions of worn out recreational fiberglass boats over the world as well in the Republic of Croatia.

Background: Labour pain has been described as most severe pain experienced by a female. Labour analgesia is widely practiced in developed countries. Many labour analgesic methods have been introduced to make delivery a pleasurable moment in a women’s life.Methods: This prospective study was performed at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, India after getting permission from institute ethical committee. 100 pregnant females attending the antenatal clinic were interviewed in their mother language. Information was collected on a questionnaire after an informed consent. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge, desire and acceptability of pregnant women regarding painless labour.Results: The mean age of the women in the study was 24.98years.56% of women in the study were primigravida whereas 44% were multigravida.66% women belonged to urban area while 34% were from rural area. 10% were illiterate, 35% were educated upto secondary education and 55% were having higher education. Only 24% of the women were having knowledge about painless labour however 87% female were having positive attitude towards epidural analgesia. The correlation between the educational status and knowledge about painless labour was not statistically significant (p0.949). The knowledge and attitude of women regarding painless labour was statistically significant with p value of 0.00001.Conclusions: There is lack of knowledge about labour analgesia among women. Obstetrician and anaesthetist should educate women regarding painless labour. Labour analgesia is standard of care in obstetrics and should be provided to all parturient.
