Military spouses with deployed partners are at greater risk of poor perinatal mental health: a scoping review
Authors: Godier-McBard Lauren Rose , Ibbitson L , Hooks C , Fossey M
Published: January 2019

Background

Poor mental health in the perinatal period is associated with a number of adverse outcomes for the individual and the wider family. The unique circumstances in which military spouses/partners live may leave them particularly vulnerable to developing perinatal mental health (PMH) problems.

Methods

A scoping review was carried out to review the literature pertaining to PMH in military spouses/partners using the methodology outlined by Arksey and O’Malley (2005). Databases searched included EBSCO, Gale Cengage Academic OneFile, ProQuest and SAGE.

Results

Thirteen papers fulfilled the inclusion criteria, all from the USA, which looked a PMH or well-being in military spouses. There was a strong focus on spousal deployment as a risk factor for depressive symptoms and psychological stress during the perinatal period. Other risk factors included a lack of social/emotional support and increased family-related stressors. Interventions for pregnant military spouses included those that help them develop internal coping strategies and external social support.

Conclusions

US literature suggests that military spouses are particularly at risk of PMH problems during deployment of their serving partner and highlights the protective nature of social support during this time. Further consideration needs to be made to apply the findings to UK military spouses/partners due to differences in the structure and nature of the UK and US military and healthcare models. Further UK research is needed, which would provide military and healthcare providers with an understanding of the needs of this population allowing effective planning and strategies to be commissioned and implemented.
Self-Control and Academic Achievement
Authors: Duckworth Angela L. , Taxer Jamie L. , Eskreis-Winkler Lauren , Galla Brian M. , Gross James J.
Published: January 2019

Self-control refers to the alignment of thoughts, feelings, and actions with enduringly valued goals in the face of momentarily more alluring alternatives. In this review, we examine the role of self-control in academic achievement. We begin by defining self-control and distinguishing it from related constructs. Next, we summarize evidence that nearly all students experience conflict between academic goals that they value in the long run and nonacademic goals that they find more gratifying in the moment. We then turn to longitudinal evidence relating self-control to academic attainment, course grades, and performance on standardized achievement tests. We use the process model of self-control to illustrate how impulses are generated and regulated, emphasizing opportunities for students to deliberately strengthen impulses that are congruent with, and dampen impulses that are incongruent with, academic goals. Finally, we conclude with future directions for both science and practice.
Negotiation for Time Optimization in Construction Projects with Competitive and Social Welfare Preferences
Authors: Meng Qingfeng , Li Zhen , Du Jianguo , Liu Huimin , Ding Xiang
Published: January 2019

Construction time optimization is affected greatly by the negotiation between owners and contractors, whose progress is dictated by their desire to maximize system revenues. This paper builds an agent‐based model and designs an experimental scenario in which the contractor has competitive and social welfare preferences relevant to the Chinese context; we subdivide competitive preference into greed and jealousy components and subdivide social welfare preference into generosity and sympathy components. We analyze the impacts of these different contractor preferences on the revenue‐sharing coefficient, negotiation success rate, and negotiation time when negotiation reaches agreement. The results show that the jealousy component of competitive preference has an important influence on improving the income of the subject, while the greed component does not significantly enhance the revenue‐sharing coefficient. The sympathy component of social welfare preference does not have an influence on the revenue‐sharing coefficient no matter the strength of the generosity component. Increasing the greed component of competitive preference will lead to the extension of negotiation time and, to a certain extent, to the reduction of the negotiation success rate; the sympathy component of social welfare preference does not have an influence on negotiation time no matter the strength of the generosity preference.
Observer-Based Sliding Mode Control for Stochastic Nonlinear Markovian Jump Systems
Authors: Yin Xiaohan , Zhu Quanxin
Published: January 2019

We consider a class of stochastic nonlinear Markovian jump systems (MJSs) with partly unknown transition rate and time-varying delays. The system under consideration is subject to the mode uncertainties and nonlinear term and disturbance term which are unknown. The main mission is to design the observer-based sliding mode controller for such a complex system. An observer is first constructed, and then we design an integral sliding mode surface such that the MJSs satisfy the reaching condition. The sliding mode control law ensures the stochastic stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the proposed results.
Standalone Containment Analysis of Four Phébus Tests with the ASTEC and the MELCOR Codes
Authors: Gonfiotti Bruno , Paci Sandro
Published: January 2019

After the severe accident (SA) occurred at the Three-Miles Island Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), important efforts on the investigation of the different phenomena during this kind of accidents have been started. Several experimental campaigns investigating one phenomenon at time or the combination of two or more phenomena have been performed. Today, the Phébus experimental campaign is probably the most important activity on the evaluation of the coupling among different phenomena. Four out of five tests investigated the degradation of an intact Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) fuel bundle and the subsequent transport of Fission Products (FP) and Structural Materials (SM) through the primary circuit and into the containment, while the fifth test was only the degradation of a bed of PWR fuel bundle debris. These tests were performed between 1990 and 2010 at the CEA Cadarache laboratories (France) in a 5000:1 scaled facility. The main four tests varied the employed control rod materials, the fuel burn-up, and the oxidizing conditions of the atmosphere (strongly or weakly). The outcomes of this experimental campaign created a solid base for the understanding of the involved phenomena and allowed the development of models and software codes capable of simulating the evolution of a SA in a real NPP. ASTEC and MELCOR were two of the main SA codes profiting from the results of this Phébus campaign. These two codes were further improved in the latest years to account for the findings obtained in more recent experimental campaigns. A continuous verification and validation work is then necessary to check how the newer code’s versions reproduce the tests performed in these older experimental campaigns such as Phébus one. The present work is intended to be the final step of a series of publications covering the activities carried out at University of Pisa with the ASTEC and the MELCOR SA codes on the four Phébus tests employing an intact PWR fuel bundle. Because of the complexity and the extent of these tests, only the containment aspects were considered in the precedent works, i.e., only the thermal-hydraulics transient and its coupling with the FP and SM behavior. Then, general conclusions based on the outcomes of these precedent works are summarized in this work.
End‐Point Static Control of Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) Steelmaking Based on Wavelet Transform Weighted Twin Support Vector Regression
Authors: Gao Chuang , Shen Minggang , Liu Xiaoping , Wang Lidong , Chu Maoxiang
Published: January 2019

A static control model is proposed based on wavelet transform weighted twin support vector regression (WTWTSVR). Firstly, new weighted matrix and coefficient vector are added into the objective functions of twin support vector regression (TSVR) to improve the performance of the algorithm. The performance test confirms the effectiveness of WTWTSVR. Secondly, the static control model is established based on WTWTSVR and 220 samples in real plant, which consists of prediction models, control models, regulating units, controller, and BOF. Finally, the results of proposed prediction models show that the prediction error bound with 0.005% in carbon content and 10°C in temperature can achieve a hit rate of 92% and 96%, respectively. In addition, the double hit rate of 90% is the best result by comparing with four existing methods. The results of the proposed static control model indicate that the control error bound with 800 Nm3 in the oxygen blowing volume and 5.5 tons in the weight of auxiliary materials can achieve a hit rate of 90% and 88%, respectively. Therefore, the proposed model can provide a significant reference for real BOF applications, and also it can be extended to the prediction and control of other industry applications.
Ensemble Classifier Based Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks
Authors: Ahmad Hassaan Bin
Published: January 2019

Spectrum sensing is one of the most important and challenging tasks in cognitive radio. To develop methods of dynamic spectrum access, robust and efficient spectrum sensors are required. For most of these sensors, the main constraints are the lack of information about the primary user’s (PU) signal, high computational cost, performance limits in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions, and difficulty in finding a detection threshold. This paper proposes a machine learning based novel detection method to overcome these limits. To address the first constraint, detection is achieved using cyclostationary features. The constraints of low SNR, finding detection threshold, and computational cost are addressed by proposing an ensemble classifier. First, a dataset is generated containing different orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing signals at different SNRs. Then, cyclostationary features are extracted using FFT accumulation method. Finally, the proposed ensemble classifier has been trained using the extracted features to detect PU’s signal in low SNR conditions. This ensemble classifier is based on decision trees and AdaBoost algorithm. A comparison of the proposed classifier with another machine learning classifier, namely, support vector machine (SVM), is presented, clearly showing that the ensemble classifier outperforms SVM. The results of the simulation also prove the robustness and superior efficiency of the detector proposed in this paper in comparison with a cyclostationary detector without machine learning as well as the classical energy detector.

Published: January 2019

In this paper a Fractional PID Control is presented. This control was designed for a hydropower plant with six generation units working in an alternation scheme. The parameters and other features of such a set of hydrogeneration units have been used to perform the respective tuning up. In order to assess the behavior of this controlled system, a model of such nonlinear plant is regulated through a classical PID by classical linearization of its set points, and then a pseudo‐derivative part is substituted into a Fractional PID. Both groups of signals contain variations of voltage suggesting some abrupt changes in the supply of electricity fed to the network. Both sets of resulting signals are compared; the simulations show that the Fractional PID has a faster response with respect to those plots obtained from the classical PID used.
Spectral Complexity of Directed Graphs and Application to Structural Decomposition
Authors: Mezić Igor , Fonoberov Vladimir A. , Fonoberova Maria , Sahai Tuhin
Published: January 2019

We introduce a new measure of complexity (called spectral complexity) for directed graphs. We start with splitting of the directed graph into its recurrent and nonrecurrent parts. We define the spectral complexity metric in terms of the spectrum of the recurrence matrix (associated with the reccurent part of the graph) and the Wasserstein distance. We show that the total complexity of the graph can then be defined in terms of the spectral complexity, complexities of individual components, and edge weights. The essential property of the spectral complexity metric is that it accounts for directed cycles in the graph. In engineered and software systems, such cycles give rise to subsystem interdependencies and increase risk for unintended consequences through positive feedback loops, instabilities, and infinite execution loops in software. In addition, we present a structural decomposition technique that identifies such cycles using a spectral technique. We show that this decomposition complements the well‐known spectral decomposition analysis based on the Fiedler vector. We provide several examples of computation of spectral and total complexities, including the demonstration that the complexity increases monotonically with the average degree of a random graph. We also provide an example of spectral complexity computation for the architecture of a realistic fixed wing aircraft system.
An Angle Estimation Method for Monostatic MIMO Radar Based on RCC-FLOM Algorithm
Authors: Gong Jian , Wang Huan , Guo Yiduo
Published: January 2019

The performance of the angle estimation algorithm based on the two-order or higher order cumulants in the impact noise background will decline sharply. Therefore, it is necessary to study the new algorithm to estimate target angle in the impact noise background. In order to solve the angle estimation problem of coherent sources in the impulse noise background, a conjugate rotation invariant subspace algorithm based on reduced order fractional lower order covariance matrix is proposed. Use the reduced dimension lower order fraction covariance matrix to reduce the impulse noise influence. And according to the conjugate rotation invariant subspace, the coherent source is decohered. The Monte-Carlo experiments show that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of high estimation probability and low root mean square error in the case of low signal-to-noise ratio, compared with the existing FLOM-MUSIC algorithm and FLOM-Unitary ESPRIT algorithm.
Access to Power
Authors: Ashar Sameer , Lai Annie
Published: January 2019

The traditional approaches to “access to justice” obscure the current distribution of economic, social, and political power, and how that distribution favors those who have power and burdens those who do not. Consequently, the traditional approaches foreclose possibilities for a truly just society. In the law clinic we led together for five years, we developed models of lawyering with our students and community partners focused on how lawyers can contribute to the redistribution of power in society from those who accumulate and deploy it to those who are deprived of it.
Corporate Support for Legal Services
Authors: Wallace Jo-Ann
Published: January 2019

The gap in pro bono legal services provided by corporate legal departments and large private law firms is not surprising: The formalization of pro bono work by large firms has been underway on a significant scale for far longer than it has within corporations. This process has made large firm pro bono efforts more efficient and effective through improved practices. It has also led firm leaders and lawyers generally to expect more volunteerism of this sort. Companies that apply their resources, business experience, or other assets have successfully expanded the impact of their pro bono hours. Because of the scale of this need, and because legal-services lawyers have specialized expertise that corporate lawyers can't easily replicate, corporate pro bono efforts will not, on their own, close the justice gap. But these efforts have the potential to contribute significantly more to the ability of legal-aid organizations to serve their clients, and to help close this gap.
John Heskett's Industrial Design: An Interview at Middlesex Polytechnic, 1981: Part One: Problems in Writing Histories of Design
Authors: Dilnot Clive , Sanchez-Moreno Lilian
Published: January 2019

An edited presentation of an extended interview with the design historian John Heskett undertaken a few months after the publication of Heskett's Industrial Design (Thames and Hudson, 1980). The first part explores the genesis and structure of Industrial Design, as well as wider problems in the writing of histories of design. Part Two examines circumstances and tensions in regard to understanding the roles of design and the designer in the processes of industrialization especially with regard to emerging tensions between “production” and “consumption”; “industry” and “craft” in design historical understanding in the late 1970s /early 1980s.

Published: January 2019

A soft food diet leads to changes in the periodontal ligament (PDL). These changes, which have been recognized for more than a century, are ascribed to alterations in mechanical loading. While these adaptive responses have been well characterized, the molecular, cellular, and mechanical mechanisms underlying the changes have not. Here, we implicate Wnt signaling in the pathoetiology of PDL responses to underloading. We show that Wnt-responsive cells and their progeny in the PDL space exhibit a burst in proliferation in response to mastication. If an animal is fed a soft diet from the time of weaning, then this burst in Wnt-responsive cell proliferation is quelled; as a consequence, both the PDL and the surrounding alveolar bone undergo atrophy. Returning these animals to a hard food diet restores the Wnt signaling in PDL. These data provide, for the first time, a molecular mechanism underlying the adaptive response of the PDL to loading.

The major goal in restorative dentistry is to develop a true regenerative approach that fully recovers hydroxyapatite crystals within the caries lesion. Recently, a rationally designed self-assembling peptide P11-4 (Ace-QQRFEWEFEQQ-NH2) has been developed to enhance remineralization on initial caries lesions, yet its applicability on dentin tissues remains unclear. Thus, the present study investigated the interaction of P11-4 with the organic dentin components as well as the effect of P11-4 on the proteolytic activity, mechanical properties of the bonding interface, and nanoleakage evaluation to artificial caries-affected dentin. Surface plasmon resonance and atomic force microscopy indicated that P11-4 binds to collagen type I fibers, increasing their width from 214 ± 4 nm to 308 ± 5 nm ( P < 0.0001). P11-4 also increased the resistance of collagen type I fibers against the proteolytic activity of collagenases. The immediate treatment of artificial caries-affected dentin with P11-4 enhanced the microtensile bonding strength of the bonding interface ( P < 0.0001), reaching values close to sound dentin and decreasing the proteolytic activity at the hybrid layer; however, such effects decreased after 6 mo of water storage ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, P11-4 interacts with collagen type I, increasing the resistance of collagen fibers to proteolysis, and improves stability of the hybrid layer formed by artificial caries-affected dentin.

Published: January 2019

Extracorporeal video microscopes, or “exoscopes,” provide high‐definition views of the operative field and are alternatives to the operating microscope or loupes for large‐corridor surgical approaches. In this proof‐of‐concept study, we aim to determine the feasibility of 3‐dimensional exoscopes as alternatives to operating microscopes in otology and neurotology, espeically in conjunction with endoscopes. Eleven consecutive cases were performed using 3‐dimensional exoscopes in place of, or as adjuncts to, the operating microscope. The exoscope was the sole visualization tool in 7 cases, with 4 including the use of an endoscope or microscope. There were no perioperative complications. Potential subjective advantages include superior ergonomics, compact size, and an equal visual experience for surgeons and observers. Limitations include low lighting in small surgical corridors and pixilation at high magnification. Exoscopes are potentially viable alternatives to the microscope in otologic and neurotologic surgery.
Evidence for Oncolytic Viral Eradication of Cholesteatoma In Vitro

Published: January 2019

Cholesteatomas (CHSTs) are congenital or acquired lesions of the temporal bone that are associated with significant morbidity. We hypothesized that an oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) could preferentially eradicate primary human CHST cells in vitro and that this virus will replicate selectively and efficiently in CHST cells when compared with control cells. In this work, primary human CHST cells were cultured from surgically collected tissue. Cholesteatomas and control cells were grown and infected by oncolytic oHSV. More than 80% CHST cells versus <5% control cells were killed by oHSV. The oHSV showed a significant enhanced cytotoxic effect against CHST cells in a time‐ and dose‐dependent manner. Therefore, this novel therapy has promise as a future treatment to minimize the spread and recurrence of CHST.

Introduction:

Preoperative coagulation screening tests in pediatric patients was once routine clinical practice globally and still used as standard practice in some countries before surgical procedures to assess of perioperative bleeding risk.

Objective:

The study aimed to evaluate unselected routine preoperative coagulation testing in children undergoing elective or invasive surgery to predict abnormal perioperative bleeding. The study also aimed to provide a rational approach of determining bleeding and family history of coagulation disorders as a predictive risk for bleeding.

Methods:

This retrospective study conducted between 2014 and 2015 (1 year) on normal healthy children aged under 15 years admitted to the hospitals for elective mild to intermediate surgery or invasive procedures. We reviewed and collected the details of the clinical history, previous surgery, trauma, family history, detail of anti-thrombotic medication and coagulation tests performed (prothrombin time (PT), the activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), and international normalized ratio (INR)) at the time of admission.

Results:

Among 2078 cases, 1940 cases had normal coagulation tests (93.4%), 77 cases had abnormal coagulation results (3.7%), and 61 patients underwent surgery without preoperative coagulation screening (2.9%). In 15 of 77 patients, coagulation tests were normal on repeat testing. A total of 52 were confirmed to have abnormal screening testing. Among these 52 cases, 45 had normal factors assay; where seven patients had abnormal factors assay. Postoperative bleeding occurred only in three cases (0.14%), two cases due to surgical procedures with normal preoperative testing and one due to hemophilia A which was detected postoperatively as no preoperative testing was performed.

Conclusions:

Routine coagulation screening before surgery or invasive procedures to predict perioperative bleeding in unselected patients is not recommended. Our study emphasizes that selective preoperative testing is more appropriate. Selective criteria for consideration of the latter includes physical examination, type of surgery, family and bleeding history, and concomitant use of antiplatelet and anti-thrombotic therapy.

Authors: Natarajan Tamilselvi , Kothandaraman Arulmozhiselvan
Published: January 2019

A pot experiment was carried out with different growbag media with varying proportions of agricultural/ industrial residues such as Cocopeat, Vermicompost, Vermiculite, Fly ash, Pressmud, Rice husk and Groundnut shell, for selecting suitable materials for matric suction irrigation for enhancing the growth of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). The results revealed that the plant height, number of main branches per plant, number of lateral branches per main branch and number of leaves per lateral branch were highest in media containing Cocopeat: Vermicompost: Pressmud in 1:1:1 ratio with Nutriseed Pack. The significantly highest fruit yield of tomato (1513 g/pot) was achieved in growbag media containing equal proportion of Cocopeat: Vermicompost: Pressmud in 1:1:1 ratio with NSP. Followed by, the higher yield of tomato (1379 g/pot) was recorded in case of Cocopeat: Vermicompost: Vermiculite (1:1:1) with Nutriseed Pack,which was at par with Cocopeat: Vermicompost: Vermiculite + Neem Seed Crush with Nutriseed Pack (1320 g/pot). The conventional pot mixture of Soil: Sand: FYM (1:1:1) with Nutriseed Packgave moderate yield of tomato (622 g/pot). Besides, the promising effect of matric suction irrigation has been brought out in the present study as an alternative means for surface irrigation.

Neste artigo, estudamos os termos como aurora e alvorada inscritos em letras de samba,uma vez que entendemos que representam o canto de esperança do cantautor do morro. A fim de analisarmos as letras sob as perspectivas do real e não real, apoiamo-nos nas pesquisas de Coelho (1984), Bachelard (1988; 2008), Chevalier e Gheerbrant (1988), Bloch (2005), Romanelli (2015), Chauí (2016), Mattuella (2016) e Viera (2017).  Fazem parte da análise, ainda, os processos de construção do cenário onde habitam os compositores das canções, assim como os de romantização do samba. Lançamos mão, pois, da obra de Vianna (1995), quando traz à tona o mistério do samba; Dantas (1988), que postula as relações entre o estético e o social; Benchimol (1992), por descrever a formação e proliferação dos subúrbios e Galvão (2017), posto que discute a idealização do suburbano. O samba nos possibilita compreender os desejos que cercam o sujeito do morro e de saltarmos junto dele para o que ainda não emergiu, mas que já foi idealizado.
Retratos de mulheres na colonização canadense: The King’s Daughter ([1974] 2011), de Suzanne Martel – uma releitura crítica do passado colonial
Authors: Uber Beatrice
Published: January 2019

A narrativa híbrida, de história e ficção, The King’s Daughter (2011), da canadense Suzanne Martel, aborda, como tema principal, o fato histórico da vinda de algumas órfãs francesas para a Nova França, o atual Canadá, durante o século XVII. Essas mulheres que deixavam a sua terra natal – no contexto histórico – tinham por obrigação casar-se com colonizadores franceses e gerar filhos desses, ou até mesmo criar os que já eram existentes de um primeiro casamento. Na releitura ficcional do passado, a diegese do romance coloca em evidência os discursos da personagem-protagonista, a órfã Jeanne Chatel, e também apresenta figuras secundárias, como a órfã Marie du Voyer e outras, por meio de um narrador heterodiegético. Nessa perspectiva, descreve-se a difícil viagem marítima e os primeiros anos de adaptação das órfãs nas florestas canadenses, junto a seus maridos e filhos. Uma vez que essas personagens, configuradas como as órfãs francesas do século XVII, passavam a residir no novo território em desenvolvimento, do mesmo modo que na história, elas não podiam regressar à Europa e tinham consciência de que ali passariam o resto de suas vidas. Com base nesse contexto histórico e sua releitura ficcional, esse artigo tem o propósito de analisar a configuração dessas personagens femininas retratadas como órfãs francesas, conhecidas, historicamente, como “The King’s Daughters”. Ao efetuarmos tal leitura, objetivamos, também, evidenciar que essa obra se configura, pela forma como relê criticamente o passado, dentro da mais recente modalidade desse gênero híbrido: o romance histórico contemporâneo de mediação. Teóricos como Sharpe (1992), Runyan (2010), Fleck (2007; 2017), Zug (2016), entre outros, servem de subsídios à proposta apresentada.

Published: January 2019

Despite the increasing prevalence of chronic health conditions among youth in schools, teachers report little exposure to specific coursework focusing on how to best support students with these conditions in the classroom. This study examined how teacher preparation programs prepare educators to meet the needs of this growing student population; findings also include survey results describing level of preparation to support students with a chronic health condition from the perspective of preservice and practicing educators enrolled in the nation’s leading colleges of education. Results suggest that dedicated curriculum to prepare teachers to work with students with chronic health conditions is largely absent from teacher preparation programming, and that teachers feel they lack knowledge to adequately support students with a chronic health condition in the classroom setting. Recommendations and implications are discussed.
Student Movement in Portugal Throughout the ’60s: Actors’ Representations of a Period of Social and Cultural Experimentation
Authors: Pintassilgo Joaquim António de Sousa , De Andrade Alda Namora , Beato Carlos Alberto da Silva
Published: January 2019

The Portuguese university student movement was very active during the so-called «long ’60s» (also the final phase of Estado Novo) and took on a major role in the opposition to the regime. While the wide range of events and international mobilizations resulting from a large increment in youth activism was an important source of inspiration to the Portuguese students, it is equally certain that specific elements in the national context contributed to the characteristics that the movement came to assume. Specifically, we are referring to the regime’s authoritarianism and to the intense repression it unleashed, as well as to the resistance to the colonial war. At the same time, the strong moral, cultural, and artistic conservatism of that period is questioned, which led to the development of alternative behaviours and cultural practices, echoing those of the «May 1968» (Bebiano, 2003). The research underlying this work aims to capture the representations constructed by some of the actors who lived this moment of experimentation, who were then young university students; and to reflect on the contribution of these forms of social participation for the construction of a democratic society in the ’70s. In addition to the necessary literature review, we resort to a set of interviews with people who attended the University of Lisbon in the transition from the ’60s to the ’70s. Therefore, we will take as an example the Lisbon university setting.

The aim of the study is to compare the sport motives of individuals participating sport in two different groups. 300 volunteers are the participants of the study. Along with the personal information form, Sport Participation Motivation Scale which was developed by Gill et al., (1983) validity and reliability of which was checked for Turkish population by Oyar et al., (2001) and were used. As a result of the analysis, it was found that sport participation motives do not vary according to gender. In addition it was revealed that students of sport high school are more motivated than members of sport centers. Among students of sport high school, certificated sportspeople are more motivated compared to non-certificated sportspeople, individuals doing team and individual sports are more motivated than non-competitive sportspeople and younger students are more motivated than older ones. Among the members of sport center no difference and relation were found between the ages of the sportspeople and their status of owning certificate or not. Furthermore, sport center members doing team and individual sports were seen to be more motivated than non-competitive sportspeople in terms of the dimensions, namely friends, achievement/ status and physical fitness/energy consumption.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetFarklı iki grupta spora katılım gösteren bireylerin spor yapma güdülerinin karşılaştırılması bu araştırmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır.

Effects of Two Types of Restraint Stress on the Spontaneous Behaviour in Rats
Authors: Trnečková Lenka , Šída Pavel , Hynie Sixtus , Krejčí Ivan , Hliňák Zdeněk , Klenerová Věra
Published: January 2019

Our previous findings suggested the existence of stressor-specific behavioural and cognitive responses in rats. In the present study, restraint stressor (immobilization, IMO) and restraint stressor combined with partial immersion of rats into water (IMO+C) were applied for 1 hour to Wistar male rats and their spontaneous behaviour was examined in the open field test. The classic behavioural parameters were recorded: crossing, rearing, and resting. When tested 1 and 4 hours after IMO+C, animals exhibited strong suppression of locomotor and exploratory activity (crossing and rearing); partial inhibition of both behavioural variables was found after IMO. Thus, substantial differences were observed in dependence on the length of period between the end of stressor application and the start of testing. In testing performed one week later, the locomotor and exploratory activity levels of both IMO and IMO+C animals corresponded to the control ones. These data suggest a differential behavioural response to both used stressors that may result from their different proportion of psychical and physical components. In conclusion, our results provide other data for the support of differential effects of two types of restraint stressors on spontaneous behaviour of animals exposed to a novel environment.

Innervation of the spleen in rats was studied. Butyrylcholinesterase-(BuChE)-positive nerve components of the organ were visualized by the direct thiocholine method. BuChE-positive nerve components enter the spleen in a common bundle with arteries. In the organ they form characteristic periarterial and periarteriolar plexiform arrangements, which are especially conspicuous around the aa. centrales running through the white pulp. Then, nerve fibres extend away from these plexuses into adjacent layers of trabeculae further into marginal layers of periarterial lymphatic sheath (PALS) as well as into the mantle zone of follicles. Several scattered periarteriolar and solitary nerve fibres can be seen in the marginal sinuses and cords of the red pulp. In the fibrous capsula BuChE-positive nerve fibres can also be seen which have an evident connection with trabecular and parenchymal nerves of the organ. Microscopic findings support the notion that BuChE-positive nerve profiles supply not only the vasculature, but also the parenchymal components of the spleen, and they may participate, to a great extent, in the regulation of the immune processes in this organ.
The origins of time and human – folklore description
Authors: Kalniuk Tomasz
Published: January 2019

In traditional Polish folk culture, ordinary villagers were not interested in cosmogenesis and anthropogenesis. However, local folklore provides some interesting examples of narration which revolve around the origins of the world and man. Even at the end of the 20 th century – apart from etiologic tales – Polish scholars recorded some occurrences of so-called “paradise scenes” or “heavens”. These tales or their stagings contained biblical and non-biblical messages concerning the prehistory of man.
Christian meditation, instrument of the new evangelization
Authors: Piasecki Piotr
Published: January 2019

The proclamation of the Gospel as Good news for all men has always been at the heart of the life of the mission of the Church. This is why the new evangelization in no way modifies the content of the Gospel, the message of salvation brought by Christ. But in the current global context, it is made ever more urgent and necessary. Faced with all these new phenomena that permeate the contemporary world and the Church, renewed enthusiasm and enthusiasm is needed to respond to the urgency and the need for a new evangelization. This inner impulse can only be the result of a rich and singular personal spirituality, without which the evangelizer runs the risk of quickly becoming exhausted or discouraged: Missionary activity requires a specific spirituality which concerns in particular those whom God has called missionaries (RMis 87). This specific spirituality is nourished by the meditation of Christ the Savior - the Word of God. Through this meditation, the new evangelizers experience being healed by God through Jesus Christ. The encounter with the living God is an entirely original, transformative experience that puts everything in its place and completely upsets reality. This results in the ardor of evangelization that is constantly renewed. All evangelization requires from those who announce, a testimony of life that attests to the truth and the reality of the Gospel. To give one's testimony on mission is to give an account of what we have lived, seen and heard, and meditation is a good way to carry out this reality. Evangelization has a mystical origin; it is a gift that comes from the cross of Christ the Savior. That is why Christian meditation rooted in the tradition of the Church - especially in the Gospel - is a means for the new evangelization.

Sergiusz Hessen jako publicysta „Kultury i Wychowania” w latach 1933–1939
Authors: Boczoń Magdalena Lidia
Published: January 2019

The specific character of the interwar period promoted the development of specialist magazines, among others, also magazines from the field of pedagogy. Those periodicals published discussions and disputes which were a creative contribution of Polish thinkers, scholars and teachers-practicians into the process of the restoration of Poland by means of improving the quality of educational activities. Kultura i Wychowanie (“Culture and Education”) was one of such magazines which owed its high specialist level mainly to its chief editor – Bogdan Suchodolski. Kultura i Wychowanie attracted a number of eminent authors, including Sergiusz Hessen. The presented article focuses on the works of this Russian pedagogue published in the discussed magazine and, first of all, his contribution into the construction of the theoretical foundations of the Polish pedagogy of culture from the period of the Second Polish Republic. The articles of Hessen, published in B. Suchodolski’s periodical, were an elaboration of the philosophy which the author presented earlier in his book Podstawy pedagogiki (“The Foundations of Pedagogy”). They were also preparatory considerations to his subsequent book entitled O sprzecznościach i jedności wychowania (“On Contradictions and Unity of Education”). The subjects of these articles concern two areas: the essence and meaning of Weltanschaung and the role of the concept of general education. The author of the article specifies in S. Hessen’s works published in the magazine Kultura i Wychowanie a number of ideas and concepts which contributed to the formation of the theoretical foundations of the Polish pedagogy of culture in the interwar period. They included: – a concept of a teacher fulfilling a role of a liberating authority; the liberating and upbringing education; the idea of “acquiring” personality via “acquiring” one’s own Weltanschaung; a constant tension between community and individualism; co-creation of culture by individual people as the main factor of its development; the manifestation of the layers of existence at the subsequent stages of education.
