Use of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in the management of bladder cancer
Authors: Khan Muhammad F , Tsampoukas Georgios
Published: November 2020

Over the years, a distant effort has been made to find new prognostic biomarkers in the assessment of accurate response to treatment and detection of recurrences of bladder cancer. Among them, the carbohydrate-rich glycoprotein, Carbohydrate Antigen (CA) 19-9 has shown some usefulness as it is linked with the tumour aggressiveness and the prognosis of disease. Aim of this study is to review available evidence about the role of CA 19-9 in diagnosis, staging and prognosis of bladder cancer. After careful review of the related articles, a total of 16 useful and valued studies were found on the database. These studies evaluated relation of CA 19-9 to various different aspects of bladder cancer. These aspects include use of CA 19-9 as a tool for detection of bladder cancer, its role in the assessment of the prognosis at diagnosis and also looked at the significance of the CA 19-9 in the response to treatment of bladder cancer. These studies indicate that CA19-9 sensitivity and specificity was 71.6 and 91.6 in high-grade tumour and sensitivity of 74% and 83% in Ta and T1 tumours. Serum levels of > 29 U/ml are associated with shorter survival time and carried a 2.54 higher risk of death. High levels in metastatic disease are associated with increase response to chemotherapy. Although these results are encouraging, but due to the limited evidence, there can be no strong recommendation for use of the biomarker CA 19-9 and further studies are needed to establish a useful link.

Authors: Cardoso Ana Maria , Labinas Adriana Mascarette , Furlan Marcos Roberto
Published: November 2020

Inadequate application of phytosanitary products in agricultural production can be the result of a number of factors, from the low level of education of the applicators to the lack of training regarding the correct application of chemical pesticides. Thus, this work explored the reality of a group olericulture producers in Colônia Nova, community of Abaetetuba (PA). The methodology organized the data based on responses to a questionnaire, with structured and closed questions answered by rural owners in order to help trace the profile of pesticide applicators at that location. Among the results obtained, there was a low level of education among producers and the production of crops of condiment and leafy plants, led by scallions, cabbage, lettuce and chicory. Among the categories of pesticides used by farmers, insecticides were the most used, followed by fungicides and herbicides. No interviewed owner participated in any training for specific work with pesticides and they were also unaware of any institution that could carry out this type of training. An on-site assessment revealed that, in relation to the use of PPE, with the exception of gloves and waterproof boots, the other items were just ordinary, everyday clothes, inappropriate for this activity. Therefore, this research demonstrated the difficulty faced by the farmers of Colônia Nova, mainly due to the low level of education that prevented them from knowing the safety and legal aspects regarding the use of agricultural pesticides, the triple washing and the correct destination of empty pesticide packaging.
Polacy w słowackiej publicystyce i polityce od lat 30. do 60. XIX wieku

Poles in Slovak journalism and politics from the 1830s to the 1860s This paper sheds light on the perception of the Polish people, Polish politics, and their issues in Slovak journalism between 1830 and 1872. On the whole, the views were limited by the social opinions voiced by Slovak nationalists as well as by their interests and the general weakness of their National Movement. Slovak nationalists refused to accept political concepts that, on the one hand, supported the creation of nation states (by “large”nations such as Poland), and on the other hand, called for the assimilation of “small”nations living within them. This would spell the end of the Slavs and Romanians settled in Hungary, as Hungary would reform into one single national Hungarian state. Among all Austro-Slavs, the fear of “Magyarisation”contributed to the most intense and widespread Slavic solidarity and Russophilia in the Slovak-speaking environment. It also determined the difficult approach to the Polish issues. The Slovak nationalists sympathised with the Polish fate, however, at the same time, they had difficulties with accepting the Poland-Russia conflict. That is why we can find quite varied opinions of Poles and Polish issues. Idealising the Poles, Polonophilia, sympathising with Poles as regards their problems, careful and neutral views of those problems, efforts to limit the Poland-Russia conflict, and critical views of Poles were all entwined. For example, pro-Polish sympathies dominated in the Slovak National Movement in the 1830s, whereas in the 1840s the sympathies shifted towards Russia, despite the fact that some nationalists supported the Poles and their Uprising in Halych. The real Slovak-Polish co-operation can be seen particularly during the revolution in 1848–1849. Out of the Slovak political ideology emerged the Pan-Slavic work Slovanstvo a svet budúcnosti [Slavdom and the world of the future] by Ľ. Štúr, which combined the Slav perspective with the connections to Russia. The Polish issues were mainly present in the 1860s. During that time, the more conservative political wing, “Stará škola”[The Old School], was looking for support in the imperial Vienna, showing strong Russophilism and critical attitude to the Polish uprising. In contrast, the more liberal political line, “Nová škola”[The New School], striving for co-operation with Hungarian political parties, showed understanding for the Polish aversion and was critical of the imperial Russia. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, the Slovak politics and culture considerably weakened. The interest in glossing over the problems of the northern neighbour also declined. The Polish issues re-entered Slovak journalism again after the 1890s in connection with analysing new geo-political affairs on the continent and polarisation of the European superpowers.
Bulgarian-Serbian rapprochement in 1904 as the basis for the unification of the South Slavs: Remarks on Boncho Boev’s federalist concepts
Authors: Popek Krzysztof
Published: November 2020

The article discusses the federalist concepts of the Bulgarian economist Boncho Boev, formulated during the Bulgarian-Serbian rapprochement in 1904. The creation of a South-Slavic State would take place through the economic integration of Serbia and Bulgaria, which, by improving their economic position, would simultaneously strengthen their political situation and join Macedonia. Boev’s views are presented on the basis of speeches given during the Student Balkan Congress in Sofia on 6–8 March (22–24 February old style) 1904, and subsequently published in the Journal of the Bulgarian Economic Society as “Посещението на Сръбски крал и сръбско-българското сближение” [The Visit of the King of Serbia and the Serbian-Bulgarian Rapprochement] and “Балканската федерация като идеал на сръбско-българската младеж” [The Balkan Federation as the Ideal of the Bulgarian-Serb Youth].

Ostatni akt politycznej współpracy Słowian na Bałkanach. Sojusz bałkański 1912 roku
Authors: Rubacha Jarosław
Published: November 2020

Last act of political cooperation of Slavs on the Balkans. Balkan alliance, 1912 The deep changes on the political map of the Balkan Peninsula, which followed after the Congress of Berlin in 1878, opened a new chapter in the relations between the nations inhabiting this region. Although the arbitrary decisions taken by the great powers increased the rivalry between the Balkan Slavs, the fact that most of the European territory of Turkey had been left within its borders undoubtedly encouraged the Bulgarians, Serbs, Montenegrins and Greeks to take measures aimed at mutual rapprochement and finding the ultimate solution to the so-called Turkish issue. Despite numerous problems, these ideas were implemented in 1912, through creating the Balkan League, but as it soon turned out, it was the last act of political cooperation between the Slav nations in Southeastern Europe.
Corporate Entrepreneurship: A Literature Review and Future Research Perspectives
Authors: Popowska Magdalena
Published: November 2020

Background. Nowadays, corporate entrepreneurship (CE) is perceived as an essential approach to boost the innovation and creativity within existing organizations for achieving higher opportunities in the market. This paper examines this concept, which has been largely discussed in the Anglo-Saxon world over the last thirty years. Like for many other phenomena, also in case of CE, this discussion has provided numerous conceptualizations, and consequently, there is not one unique definition of CE. In this respect, the search for an appropriate basis for understanding and describing the phenomenon of CE engenders a challenging issue for entrepreneurship researchers. Research aims. This paper aims at creating a large platform for understanding the concept of CE by means of a clarification effort through the review of the most important papers in this field and identification of the existing research gaps. Methodology. Systematic literature survey is the applied methodology. EBSCO and Taylor & Francis database were used as a source for the sampling process. Key findings. The analysis does acknowledge the need for more qualitative and rigorous research in this field and brings several recommendations for the future studies. The main conclusions also do urge for a more diversified research in terms of the sectors discussed, as the biggest gap identified is in the services sector. There is also a need for a more structured classification of the measures, depending on the real research focus: CE antecedents or outcomes.

Soil-forming processes in profile textural-differentiated forest soils of the Cis-Carpathian region, Ukraine
Authors: Yamelynets Taras , Pankiv Zinoviy , Malyk Stepan
Published: November 2020

Throughout the history of soil science development, one of the most controversial issues was the explanation of the genesis of the profile textural-differentiated soils influenced by forest vegetation and climate conditions within the Cis-Carpathian region, Ukraine. Scientists' views on the formation of the eluvial-illuvial, namely granulometric content, and profile differentiation have been and remain ambiguous due to the contradictory criteria of diagnosing the processes of eluvial soil degradation (lessivage, podzolization, eluvial-gleying process) and the almost similar results of these processes. The complexity and ambiguous interpretation of the genetic nature of the profile textural-differentiated soils of the Cis-Carpathian region necessitates the development of clear diagnostic criteria for revealing their genetic nature. The purpose of the work is to establish the diagnostic criteria of elementary soil-forming processes in profile textural-differentiated forest soils of the Cis-Carpathian region based on the analysis of data on soil properties previously collected by the authors.

It has been established that in sod-podzolic soils formed under forest, the main profile-forming elementary process of soil formation is podzolization, which is characterized by the negative values of the eluvial-accumulative coefficients and the coefficient of change of the silicate part for the upper three horizons. The processes of lessivage and segregation are of little intensity in this type of soils. The main profile-forming elementary processes of soil formation in brown-podzolic soils (Neocambic Gleyic Retisols) are lessivage and inner soil argillization with little podzolization, the eluvial-gleying process and segregation effects.

The aim of this study was to determine the microhabitat, relief and forest structure characteristics of brown bear (Ursus arctos L.) cave dens and other types of dens in the North Dinarides (Velebit Nature Park) in Croatia. In total, 63 dens were identified, consisting of 89% cave dens and 11% other den types (nest dens 6%, stump dens 3%, trunk dens 2%). In the 20-meter radius around each den, the microhabitat, relief and structural characteristics were recorded, including altitude, slope, exposition, rockiness, forest developmental stage, canopy density, tree height, forest site index, tree basal area, and tree species composition. Based on altitude, the climatic category was determined according to the Köppen climate classification. Most cave dens (62%) were in the temperate climate, at altitudes between 900 and 1,100 m, with a southern exposition and slope class between 30 to 60%. The dens situate in partial canopy density of the third forest site index with tree heights between 16 and 20 m and without forest degradation. Slopes and tree heights were lower (p < 0.019) in cave den areas in comparison to other den types.

Refletimos sobre o estágio supervisionado em Serviço Social enquanto um dos elementos centrais do processo da formação profissional, compreendido como atividade curricular obrigatória pelas Diretrizes Curriculares de 1996. A articulação na supervisão de estágio, de campo e acadêmica é fundamental e contribui para que o estágio seja espaço de desenvolvimento de autonomia, aprendizado e de construção do conhecimento mediante a análise crítica da realidade social, fundamentado nos aportes teórico-metodológicos e numa postura ético-política, instrumentalizada na dimensão técnico-operativa do trabalho profissional. Os estudos realizados se baseiam na compreensão de formação profissional e na concepção de estágio supervisionado alicerçadas nas Diretrizes Curriculares e na literatura da área, que norteia o desenvolvimento de um processo formativo crítico, criativo e com competências e habilidades que estejam alicerçadas no projeto ético-político profissional, apresentando os avanços e acúmulos construídos pela categoria a partir da década de 1980. Partindo dessas considerações, objetivamos trazer alguns elementos para a reflexão em relação a supervisão de estágio a partir de suas contribuições das pesquisas realizadas no programa de Pós-Graduação em Serviço Social da UNESP/Franca, apresentando os avanços e formas de resistência a partir da sua legislações e os desafios (im)postos na cena contemporânea.

Amaç: Bu araştırma, evli bireylerin problem çözme becerileri ve iletişim becerilerinin evlilikten aldıkları doyumu yordayıp yordamadığını incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modelinde nicel bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Veriler, SPSS 24.0 ile çözümlenmiştir.
Bulgular: Basit doğrusal korelasyon testi değerleri incelendiğinde, evlilik doyumu ile problem çözme becerileri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Evlilik doyumu ile iletişim becerileri alt boyutlarından egoyu geliştirici dil, kendini tanıma-kendini açma, empati, ben dilini kullanma arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu ancak etkin dinleme alt boyutu arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin olmadığı görülmektedir. Çoklu regresyon analizi sonucunda, evlilikte problem çözme becerilerinin evlilik doyumunu anlamlı olarak yordadığı görülmüştür. Aynı zamanda iletişim becerileri toplam puanlarının da evlilik doyumunu anlamlı olarak yordadığı saptanmıştır. Öte yandan iletişim becerisi alt boyutlarının modele ayrı ayrı anlamlı katkısının olmadığı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
Özgünlük: Literatür incelendiğinde evlilik doyumuyla ilgili farklı çalışmaların yapıldığı ancak evlilik doyumu, problem çözme becerisi ve iletişim becerisinin birlikte ele alındığı bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Bu nedenle, araştırma bulgularının evlilik literatürüne anlamlı bir katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

The present study explores the effect on student satisfaction and student loyalty of higher education service quality dimensions. Ensuring quality improvement and implementation of strategies for the tertiary education sector has become critical. Moreover, the study also tests the mediating impact of university reputation and external prestige between university service quality and satisfaction and loyalty. Data has collected through a structured questionnaire from a sample of 390 graduate and undergraduate students of two public universities in Bangladesh. The study reflects that the performance on service quality dimensions of selected public universities is not satisfactory. The study results have shown that Teaching, Support services, Library and lab facilities, and internationalization significantly influence student satisfaction except for Administrative service and Hostel facilities. Teaching, Administrative Services, Library and lab facilities, and internationalization significantly influence student Loyalty. The mediating analysis has shown that student satisfaction partially mediates between service quality and student loyalty. The study results have also indicated that university reputation and external prestige partially mediate between service quality and student satisfaction and loyalty. The previous studies which measure service quality of Bangladeshi higher educational institutions have applied the SERVQUAL model, which is not suitable for an educational institution. However, this study has applied a higher education service quality model uniquely developed to measure higher educational institutions' service quality.

Kent parkları kentsel yaşam kalitesinin artırılmasında insanlara sunduğu çeşitli aktivitelerle önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Her yaş grubuna hitap eden, bireylerin tek başına ya da grup olarak etkinlikler düzenlemesine fırsat sağlayan ve bitkisel materyal ile bir bütünlük arz eden kent parkları; tasarlanmış yeşil alanlardır. Tokat ili Niksar ilçesinde bulunan Ayvaz Parkı, kentlilerin yıllardır kullandığı Ayvaz doğal mineral su kaynağının da yer aldığı bir alandır. Park mevcut durumda fiziksel olarak bozulmuş, eski ve yetersiz donatılarıyla bakımsız haldedir. Alan için hazırlanan peyzaj tasarım projesiyle, Ayvaz Parkı’nı eski önemine ve kullanım düzeyine ulaştırmak ve fiziksel yapısında iyileştirme yapmak hedeflenmiştir. Bu hedef doğrultusunda, kentin kimliğini de pekiştirecek ve kültüre sahip çıkan bir proje konsepti benimsenmiştir. Çalışmada bu kapsamda ilk olarak 1/1000 ölçekli imar planı üzerinden alana ait proje altlığı çıkarılmıştır. Daha sonra arazi sörveyi kapsamında; yerinde gözlem ve anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Arazi çalışmaları sırasında elde edilen veriler ışığında Google Earth görüntüleri üzerinden mevcut durum analizi yapılmıştır. Alanın olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri GZFT analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan tüm değerlendirmeler ve görüşmelerle alan kullanımına ilişkin ihtiyaç programı oluşturulmuştur. Stüdyo ortamında yapılan eskiz çalışmaları sonrasında Ayvaz Parkı Peyzaj Tasarım Projesi hazırlanmıştır. Projenin çizimi ve görselleştirmesinde; AutoCad 2017, Photoshop CS5, Sketch Up ve Lumion yazılımları kullanılmıştır. Projenin sonuçları bitkisel uygulama projesi, yapısal uygulama projesi, kesit-detay çizimleri ve üç boyutlu modellemeler şeklinde sunulmuştur.

Indonesia and Australia are two neighboring countries with different cultural characteristics and patterns of international relations. This research aims to formulate a pattern of strategic partnerships between Indonesia and Australia in the field of defense cooperation. Through the symbolic interactional approach, the researcher saw actors' behavior between countries by collecting data from various sources; online newspapers, scientific articles, interviews, and discussions illustrated the pattern of defense cooperation between Indonesia and Australia at three levels. At the multilateral level, the relationship between Australia and Indonesia looks rather difficult to reciprocate. At the regional level, especially in the Southeast Asia region, Indonesia and Australia cooperation in non-binding control, and on the bilateral level Indonesia and Australia as equal partners are equally committed to mutual control. Free and Open Indo-Pacific strengthens Indonesia-Australia cooperation in the trade sector. An agreement has been built and ratified into the Indonesia-Australia Law comprehensive economic partnership agreement (IA-CEPA). Thus the internal politics of the alliance is very dynamic. On the one hand, the United States strengthens its dominance by utilizing regional countries challenging Chinese policies as bilateral partnerships. On the other hand, multilateral allies help each other. Development between border countries in various ways for defense development.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify the best strategies of improving the OPCT program for the benefit of the elderly men and women in Kibera informal settlements.Methodology: The exploratory design was considered appropriate for this study. Random sampling was used to select 50 respondents (15men, 35women) OPCT beneficiaries who were not members of KDC and 20 members of KDC. Random sampling was ideal because each respondent of the target population had an equal chance of being selected. Purposive sampling was used to identify 5 key informants.Results: The study also established that interventions that could address the challenges facing OPCT program were at two levels, namely; community and NGOs; and the government.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: There is the need for government support in ensuring there are timely budgetary allocations for the program in the national budget. There should be staff capacity building and training for ministry officials involved in the implementation of the program. There is also need to involve the elderly in the formulation of policies about the program in order to address the negative perceptions about the program.

The Production-Oriented Approach (POA) in Hungary: Piloting POA in the Hungarian higher education context
Authors: Fajt Balázs
Published: November 2020

The production-oriented approach for English learners in China is a method which aims to improve and facilitate learners’ productive skills with receptive skills as mediators. In order to make the method more efficient, a special coursebook entitled “iEnglish 1: viewing, listening, and speaking” was also designed in China. Since the coursebook contains several business-related topics, a unit was chosen that best fits the syllabi of the courses of the students at the Budapest Business School: University of Applied Sciences and this unit was taught through POA. The main aim of this paper is to provide insights into the effectiveness of the method as well as the coursebook in a non-Chinese context. The findings suggest that the transferability of the coursebook from the Chinese context to the Hungarian context requires certain alterations in the coursebook in order to make it more suitable for use.
A beszéd-és cselekvésirányító helyzetmondatok szerepe a szakmai szituációs feladatok megoldásában
Authors: Csák Éva
Published: November 2020

A szakmai szituációs tárgyalások szimulációja során gyakran szembesülünk azzal a nehézséggel, hogy nyelvtanulóink nem rendelkeznek a szakszókincs megfelelő ismeretén túl kommunikatív pragmatikai, azaz beszédirányítási, érvelő és meggyőzési stratégiákkal. A tanulmány elsődleges célja, hogy bemutassa a beszédirányítási készségek elsajátíttatásához feltétlenül szükséges helyzetmondat-készlet egy csoportját. A helyzetmondat-kutatás jelenlegi állásának felvázolása után a szerző hangsúlyozza, hogy a szituációhoz szorosan kapcsolódó helyzetmondatokat és a szituációtól független beszédfordulatokat külön érdemes kezelni. Kiemeli az egyik leggyakrabban előforduló üzleti szituációba ágyazott beszélt nyelvi műfajt, az eladási-értékesítési és szaktanácsadói beszédhelyzeteket. Az autentikus videó-részletek elemzése után bemutatja a műfaj tipikus fázisait. Végezetül javaslatokat tesz, amelyek segítségével további szakmai-szituációs műfajok is gyakoroltathatók a nyelvtanulók beszédirányítási stratégiáinak fejlesztése céljából.
