Particularities of the Aquatic Vegetation from “Iron Gates” Natura 2000 Site (Banat, Romania)
Authors: Goia Irina , Oprea Adrian
Published: November 2016

The paper presents the results of investigations on the aquatic vegetation, along the Romanian bank of the Danube River, in the area of Porţile de Fier (“Iron Gates”; Mehedinţi and Caraş-Severin counties), a Natura 2000 site. Twenty-three plant communities were identified from Lemnetea minoris and Potametea pectinati classes. The survey led to the identification of some newly described phytocoenotaxons in this protected area. All the plant communities in this paper are documented by phytosociologic tables, being accompanied by coenotaxonomic, phytogeographical, ecological and social strategies analysis, in order to assess their conservation status, as the main tool for management decisions.
The Aesthetics and Politics of Wonder in the First Nutcracker
Authors: Mahiet Damien
Published: November 2016

Critical response to Tchaikovsky's Casse-Noisette (The Nutcracker), the ballet-féerie premiered in December 1892 in St. Petersburg, has historically been mixed. An aesthetic mongrel, the original production joined the highbrow expectations of Romantic ballet with the popular conventions of the féerie and challenged its first audience just as much as its immediate predecessor, The Sleeping Beauty. To this day, writers object to the original libretto's uneven distribution of pantomime and dance and its lack of a coherent story, of continuous development, and of a satisfying conclusion. This article offers an alternative reading that reconstructs the dramatic disruptions and turnabouts and relates them to the first production's aesthetics and politics. The ballet's composer and choreographers, using music, action, and dance, repeatedly placed the audience in a position of wonder and awe similar to that of the young heroine Clara. This aesthetic captured Alexander III's particular “scenario of power” (Richard Wortman) in late-nineteenth-century Tsarist Russia, projecting imperial court culture and sovereign power onto a fantastic canvas.
Cohesin acetylation and Wapl‐Pds5 oppositely regulate translocation of cohesin along DNA
Authors: Kanke Mai , Tahara Eri , Huis in't Veld Pim J , Nishiyama Tomoko
Published: November 2016

Cohesin is a ring‐shaped protein complex that plays a crucial role in sister chromatid cohesion and gene expression. The dynamic association of cohesin with chromatin is essential for these functions. However, the exact nature of cohesin dynamics, particularly cohesin translocation, remains unclear. We evaluated the dynamics of individual cohesin molecules on DNA and found that the cohesin core complex possesses an intrinsic ability to traverse DNA in an adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)‐dependent manner. Translocation ability is suppressed in the presence of Wapl‐Pds5 and Sororin; this suppression is alleviated by the acetylation of cohesin and the action of mitotic kinases. In Xenopus laevis egg extracts, cohesin is translocated on unreplicated DNA in an ATPase‐ and Smc3 acetylation‐dependent manner. Cohesin movement changes from bidirectional to unidirectional when cohesin faces DNA replication; otherwise, it is incorporated into replicating DNA without being translocated or is dissociated from replicating DNA. This study provides insight into the nature of individual cohesin dynamics and the mechanisms by which cohesin achieves cohesion in different chromatin contexts.

Authors: Spittle Alicia J. , Barton Sarah , Treyvaud Karli , Molloy Carly S. , Doyle Lex W. , Anderson Peter J.
Published: November 2016

OBJECTIVE:

To examine the child and parental outcomes at school age of a randomized controlled trial of a home-based early preventative care program for infants born very preterm and their caregivers.

METHODS:

At term-equivalent age, 120 infants born at a gestational age of <30 weeks were randomly allocated to intervention (n = 61) or standard care (n = 59) groups. The intervention included 9 home visits over the first year of life focusing on infant development, parental mental health, and the parent–infant relationship. At 8 years’ corrected age, children’s cognitive, behavioral, and motor functioning and parental mental health were assessed. Analysis was by intention to treat.

RESULTS:

One hundred children, including 13 sets of twins, attended follow-up (85% follow-up of survivors). Children in the intervention group were less likely to have mathematics difficulties (odds ratio, 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.18 to 0.98; P = .045) than children in the standard care group, but there was no evidence of an effect on other developmental outcomes. Parents in the intervention group reported fewer symptoms of depression (mean difference, –2.7; 95% CI, –4.0 to –1.4; P < .001) and had reduced odds for mild to severe depression (odds ratio, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.68; P = .0152) than parents in the standard care group.

CONCLUSIONS:

An early preventive care program for very preterm infants and their parents had minimal long-term effects on child neurodevelopmental outcomes at the 8-year follow-up, whereas primary caregivers in the intervention group reported less depression.

Angiosperms, Los Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve, Veracruz, Mexico
Authors: Arroyo-Rodríguez Víctor , Dunn Jacob C. , Benítez-Malvido Julieta , Mandujano Salvador
Published: November 2016

The Los Tuxtlas Reserve has been heavily deforested and fragmented since the 1970’s. Although the flora of Los Tuxtlas has been described previously, most floristic lists come from the large forest reserve of the Los Tuxtlas field station. Here we present a check list of Angiosperms recorded in 45 rainforest fragments (< 1 to 266 ha) located in three landscapes with different levels of deforestation. We sampled all trees, shrubs, lianas, palms and herbs with diameter at breast height (dbh) Ā 2.5 cm within ten 50 m x 2 m plots per fragment. We recorded 9,435 plants belonging to 73 families and 372 species. Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, and Moraceae were best represented. Eight species are classified as Endangered by the Mexican government, and five are human-introduced species. We conclude that the conservation and restoration of all the remaining rainforest fragments are necessary to effectively preserve the plant diversity of this region.

Butterfly (Rhopalocera) fauna of Maharashtra Nature Park, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Authors: Raut Ninad B. , Pendharkar Anand
Published: November 2016

Mumbai, one of the largest metro cities in the world, holds rich biodiversity in few green fragmented natural or manmade habitats. One such habitat is the Maharashtra Nature Park (MNP). MNP is located in a highly polluted area of Mumbai; this was a dumping ground for nearly 26 years. In 1983, it was restored into a semi-natural forest with the initial technical inputs from World Wide Fund for Nature-India (WWF-India). Presently, this nature park supports a rich biodiversity but lacks proper documentation. Such information is essential as the park serves as an important study area for many schools, college students and for many nature lovers. Previous documentation has reported 38 butterfly species from the park. The present study carried out from June 2005 to November 2005 has documented 53 species belonging to five families from MNP.

Published: November 2016

The Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) has suffered massive destruction in recent years, mainly due to the expansion of agricultural areas. Many remnants of this vegetation are still poorly studied. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to carry out a floristic survey in a remnant of Cerrado in the municipality of Pratânia, central-west region of state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. In total, 120 species (38 families, 88 genera) were registered. The families with greater richness were: Fabaceae (23 species), Asteraceae (15), Myrtaceae (10), Malpighiaceae and Rubiaceae (seven each) and Bignoniaceae (five). The shrub component was predominant in the study area representing 37.5 % of the recorded species. A comparison among eight Cerrado areas showed greater similarity between areas with similar altitude.

Po Soborze Trydenckim (1545–1563) w odrodzonym i silnym Kościele katolickim wzmogła się działalność misyjna. Realizujący ideę jedności kościelnej na ziemiach ruskich państwa polskiego Król  Zygmunt III okazał swą aprobatę dla soboru brzeskiego i nakazał, aby urzędnicy państwowi, wojewodowie, starostowie, burmistrzowie oraz radcy poddali się decyzjom soboru. Ograniczenie praw zraziło ludność ruską do Kościoła rzymskiego oraz unickiego. Choć postulaty w obronie praw Kościoła prawosławnego były zgłaszane od samego początku unii  na sejmach, a ich głównym celem było skasowanie unii oraz reaktywowanie prawosławnej hierarchii cerkiewnej, to los ludności prawosławnej systematycznie ulegał pogorszeniu.

Phenomenon of Trust in Educational Policy
Authors: Pranckūnienė Eglė
Published: November 2016

Trust is the essence of all social relations in our lives. It unites our societies, joins or destroys governments, businesses and other social structures. Trust is the necessary element for people to rely on the structures implementing changes. In post-communist societies the level of trust is lower than in Western democracies. It is determined not only by diminished sources of trust during the totalitarian regimes but by rapid societal changes and the lack of new stable fundaments for trust. Distrust is not the opposite of trust but rather a rational state of mind in certain contexts and situations. Disbalance between trust and distrust in education is represented by inadequate mechanisms of inspection or control and the lack of trust in professionals. After the II World War the Western countries tried different ways to reform education called by A. Hargreaves and D. Shirley (2012) First, Second and Third way. This typology shows how political ideologies influence the development of public education. As for the trust, neoliberal approach in education created an extremely distrustful environment for educational professionals.

Neoliberal reforms replaced liberal or social democratic approaches which are characterized by much bigger trust in professionals, as well as less tiresome mechanisms of accountability. In comparison to Western democracies, Lithuanian society and public education experienced an especially rapid and contradictory ideological, social and political transformation related to the creation of an independent state, the rapid overhaul of the national political structure along with global influence. Speaking of the three different ways of reform, it appears that Lithuanian education reform is meandering down all the different ways at once but is most likely stuck between the First – Innovations and Inconsistency – and the Second – Standardization and Markets – Ways. It is reflected by wandering between the sociodemocratic principles of education for all” and neoliberal approaches packed into the rhetoric’s of New Public Management. Due to the contradictive trajectories of educational change, practitioners are becoming “objects” of political requirements losing their authentic professional life. The quality of education in every country depends on the amount of professional capital: professionals, who implement their moral purpose in trusting environment and strengthening the social capital of the country. The further development of education in Lithuania should address the enrichment of professional capital.
Serviceability performance of steel–concrete composite beams
Authors: Lawson R. Mark , Lam Dennis , Aggelopoulos Eleftherios S. , Nellinger Sebastian
Published: November 2016

The use of steel–concrete composite beams in which wide-flanged steel beams act compositely with a concrete or steel–concrete composite slab above is well established in building construction. However, for composite beams with low degrees of shear connection between the beam and slab, significant additional deflections can occur due to slip in the shear connectors. A design formula is presented for the effective stiffness of composite beams taking account of the stiffness of the shear connectors, which is compared to measured deflections of six symmetric composite beams and an 11 m span composite beam of asymmetric profile. It is shown that the comparison is good when using a shear connector stiffness of 70 kN/mm for single shear connectors and 100 kN/mm for pairs of shear connectors per slab rib. The results of push tests on a range of slab profiles confirmed these initial elastic stiffnesses. To ensure that the slip at the serviceability limit state does not lead to permanent deformations of the composite beam, it is proposed that the minimum degree of shear connection should not fall below 30% for unpropped beams and 40% for propped beams of symmetric cross-section.
Analytical Optimization for the Warehouse Sizing Problem Under Class-Based Storage Policy
Authors: Cardona Luis F. , Rivera Leonardo , Jairo Martínez Héctor
Published: November 2016

The aim of this paper study the impact of class-based storagepolicy basedon the optimal configuration of U-flow single command warehouses using aon an ABC product classification. For that purpose, the authors proposea non linear optimization model to minimize the expected travel distanceof the warehouse and use analytical methods to solve it.The most important contribution is to provide a mathematical proof thatregardless of the storage policy (It does not matter the specifics of theturnover pattern of the products), the optimal warehouse has a width thatis the double of its length, and the pick and deposit point should be locatedin the middle of the width of the warehouse.In addition, authors perform a sensitivity analysis that indicates that theoptimal solution is robust, meaning that a certain deviation from the op-timum layout does not impose a significant penalty on the expected traveldistance of the warehouse.

Desmantelamiento óptimo de redes delincuenciales. Una perspectiva desde el modelado matemático y computacional
Authors: Sarmiento Bahoque Tomas Angel , Cantillo Palacio John Fredys , Realpe Gómez John Eduardo , Montoya Martínez Javier Antonio
Published: November 2016

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar y comparar diferentes estrategias para el desmantelamiento óptimo de redes delincuenciales, las cuales están representadas en algoritmos que permiten la identificación óptima de los individuos claves en la red. La estrategia de mayor complejidad se basa en la métrica de centralidad de Katz-Bonacich como medida de influencia en la red, y da lugar a un problema NP-difícil por lo que se debe recurrir a métodos heurísticos para encontrar soluciones aproximadas. Aquí se desarrolla un algoritmo basado en el método Monte Carlo y se compara con un método basado en algoritmos voraces introducido recientemente en la literatura. En este trabajo se compara además el desempeño de éstos con estrategias menos sofisticadas y se proporciona evidencia que dichos algoritmos se desempeñan relativamente bien, contribuyendo así a proporcionar un mejor entendimiento de éstos. Se discute además un modelo introducido recientemente que justifica el uso de la centralidad de Katz-Bonacich desde el punto de vista de la teoría de juegos sobre redes.

En el modelado se consideraron los aspectos criminológicos establecidos desde las teorías del desorden social y de las actividades rutinarias en una arquitectura de inteligencia artificial PECS (Physis, Emotion, Cognitive, Social), con el objeto de articular todas las dimensiones que intervienen en la construcción de la decisión. La cohesión social será representada por redes sociales siguiendo el experimento de Watts - Strogatz, y la victimización como resultado acumulado de victimizaciones previas. Los resultados obtenidos de la simulación permitieron replicar las conductas sociales características del actor criminal, ya que en ellos se resaltan la importancia que tiene la percepción de la cohesión social sobre la memoria de victimización generada por eventos criminales pasados, elementos que presentan consistencia con la evidencia empírica de los principios teóricos establecidos en el desorden social y las acciones rutinarias.

Identity change in the educational context: A longitudinal study of upper-secondary school students
Authors: Brzezińska Anna I. , Piotrowski Konrad
Published: November 2016

In the article we present the results of a study devoted to identity changes in late adolescence. The participants were students of three types of upper-secondary schools: basic vocational schools, technical upper-secondary schools, and general upper-secondary schools. Measurement was performed five times, in three consecutive years: 2012/2013, 2013/2014, and 2014/2015. The first measurement was carried out in the first semester of the first grade (students’ mean age: 16 years; n = 310), and the fifth measurement was performed during the first semester of the third grade (students’ mean age: 18 years). The number of students who took part in all five measurements was 118 (38% of the initial sample of n = 310). The instrument we used was the Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS/PL; Brzezińska & Piotrowski, 2010; Luyckx, Schwartz, Berzonsky et al., 2008). In the group of general upper-secondary school students, we observed an increase in adaptive exploration (in breadth and in depth) as well as an increase in the strength of commitments over the 2.5 years of schooling. Among students of vocational schools, especially basic vocational schools, we observed regressive changes, such as a decrease in adaptive exploration, a decrease in commitments, an increase in the experienced difficulties with identity formation (an increase in ruminative exploration). The results confirmed that different educational paths may involve differences in terms of the changes taking place in students’ identity in the period of adolescence.

Postawy wobec globalizacji a style tożsamości
Authors: Senejko Alicja , Łoś Zbigniew
Published: November 2016

The main aim of the article is to show the possible relations between attitudes toward globalization as described by Senejko and Łoś and the specificity of identity styles as described by Berzonsky. The participants were 601 people aged 16-26 – school students, university students, and working people from the Dolnośląskie Voivodeship, Poland. We used the following instruments: The World–I Questionnaire (measuring attitudes toward globalization) and the Identity Style Inventory (ISI-5). The results obtained in correlational analyses and cluster analyses show that people with a strongly manifested accepting attitude toward globalization are characterized mainly by the informational style and the least strongly by the normative and diffuse-avoidant styles. As the results showed, the critical attitude toward globalization occurs in the form of two clusters: (1) with strong critical and accepting attitudes (people with this configuration of attitudes exhibit a strongly expressed informational identity style and commitment and a weakly expressed normative style); (2) with strong critical and fearful attitudes (individuals with this configuration of attitudes mainly exhibit the normative identity style and commitment). People with a strongly expressed fearful attitude toward globalization typically use the diffuse-avoidant or normative styles, while the least strongly expressed identity style in this group is the informational style and commitment. Cluster analysis made it also possible to distinguish people with a distanced attitude toward globalization, characterized by fairly strong identity commitment.
Personal identity formation processes and the characteristics of self-authoring personality
Authors: Brygoła Elwira
Published: November 2016

The article presents a study concerning the relations between identity formation processes as theorized by Luyckx and colleagues (2008) and the formation of self-authoring personality according to Obuchowski (2011). The aim of the study was to establish whether and how identity formation processes are related to the overall level of self-authoring (manifesting itself in the levels of agency, intentionality, meaning in life, and creative adaptation), whether and how particular characteristics of self-authoring personality explain the intensity of identity formation processes, and whether and how the intensity of identity formation processes determines the formation of self-authoring personality. The participants were 140 people aged 30 to 39 (M = 33.15, SD = 2.48). The results indicate positive associations of the processes of commitment making and identification with commitment with the overall level of self-authoring and as well as a negative association between ruminative exploration and the overall level of self-authoring. A strong relationship was found between the configuration of variables making up a non-self-authoring personality and the configuration of variables referred to as ruminative moratorium.

ИГРЕ ФЛЕШКАРТИЦАМА У НАСТАВИ СТРАНОГ ЈЕЗИКА НА НИЖЕМ ОСНОВНОШКОЛСКОМ УЗРАСТУ, СА ПОСЕБНИМ ОСВРТОМ НА ПРВИ И ДРУГИ РАЗРЕД
Authors: Пралица Наташа В.
Published: November 2016

Циљ овог рада јесте да покаже на који начин ученици најнижих разреда основне школе, кроз елементе игре, могу на успешан начин да савладају прве кораке у учењу страног језика. Приликом одабира игара наставник мора имати у виду: различит ниво знања страног језика и различите типове личности и склоности ученика, као и простор, односно опремљеност и величину учионице у којој се деца налазе, али и број деце у одељењу. Ученици на нивоу првог и другог разреда основне школе страни језик уче не само кроз формалну наставу, већ и кроз оно што виде, чују или дотакну, због чега су игре флешкартицама веома важне. Кроз игру и различите улоге које у њој остварују, деца развијају машту и креативност, али у исто време вежбају и различите облике друштвено прихватљивог или неприхватљивог понашања.

ЗАСНИВАЊЕ ПРОБЛЕМСКОГ ПРИСТУПА У ПРОУЧАВАЊУ ДРАМЕ "ЈЕЛИСАВЕТА КНЕГИЊА ЦРНОГОРСКА" У НАСТАВИ
Authors: Туцаковић Снежана Р.
Published: November 2016

Наставно проучавање драме Јелисавета кнегиња црногорска засновано је на начелима проблемске наставе. Јакшићево одступање од историјских чињеница приликом креирања уметничке истине издвајамо као главни проблем. На адекватним примерима показано је у којој мери се Ђура Јакшић, при уметничкој обради приче о судбини последњих Црнојевића и у изградњи њихових ликова, ослања на аутентичне историјске податке, а у којој мери је прича плод пишчеве маште. Посебна пажња усмерена је на лик Јелисавете Црнојевић. Одступајући од аутентичних историјских података и ширећи причу о судбини коју доживљава жена Ђурђа Црнојевића, наш писац ствара једну од најупечатљивијих и најкомлекснијих женских фигура у српској историјској драми.
