Investment Demand on the Bullion Market
Authors: Mamcarz Katarzyna
Published: February 2017

Gold and silver are two precious metals which have been a part of human civilization for centuries. The demand for these metals has been present on more than one market, with the investment demand playing a special role. The goal of the article is to characterize the investment demand on the bullion market and to identify and evaluate the reasons for its development and dynamics of its structure. The understanding of these issues is fundamental to strategic investment decisions. The general characteristics of the bullion market is hereby followed by the analysis of the structure of its world demand and the related factors. The bullion demand for two basic products, i.e. bars and coins is subject to special analysis. Depending on the character of a given factor and availability of empirical data, the analysis relied on basic descriptive statistics, graphic charts and descriptive analysis. The completed analysis proves that there are material differences between the volume and structure of bullion demand and that the relations between the demand and price of both precious metals have not always reflected the tendencies defined in the literature.
Klasyfikacja typologiczna kredytobiorców hipotecznych z wykorzystaniem modeli klas ukrytych
Authors: Idzik Marcin , Gieorgica Jacek
Published: February 2017

Posiadacze kredytów mieszkaniowych stanowią ponad 6 proc. indywidualnych klientów banków. W potocznej opinii grupa ta uznawana jest za homogeniczną. Jednak cechy so­cjodemograficzne nie tylko nie wyjaśniają, ale wręcz maskują różnicowane uwarunkowania decyzji podejmowanych przez kredytobiorców mieszkaniowych na rynku finansowym. Czynniki różnicu­jące to profil psychograficzny, postawa wobec ryzyka, wiedza o finansach, przezorność, skłonność do zadłużania się i oszczędzania. Celem badań było wyodrębnienie jednorodnych segmentów po­siadaczy kredytów mieszkaniowych pod względem uwarunkowań decyzji konsumenckich na ryn­ku finansowym. Wyodrębniono pięć homogenicznych grup kredytobiorców mieszkaniowych pod względem uwarunkowań i motywów decyzji na rynku finansowym. Segmentację przeprowadzono z wykorzystaniem modeli klas ukrytych (LCA). Modele klas ukrytych umożliwiły identyfikację podtypów cech powiązanych ze sobą, które w tradycyjnym ujęcie nie są obserwowalne. Badania wykonano metodą CAPI na ogólnopolskiej reprezentatywnej próbie posiadaczy kredytów miesz­kaniowych N=900, z czego N=800 stanowili kredytobiorcy CHF, natomiast N=100 kredytobiorcy PLN. Badania zrealizował TNS Polska w marcu 2014 r. oraz w marcu 2015 r. (druga fala).
Analysis of the Impact of Trading Liquidity on the Development of Investment Time Horizon on the Example of the Warsaw Stock Exchange
Authors: Gniadkowska-Szymańska Agata
Published: February 2017

The importance of liquidity has been acknowledged for a long time now. Liquidity is defined as the ease with which an asset can be converted into cash. A considerable number of studies investigated stock liquidity providing evidence that more illiquid stocks yield higher returns which include an illiquidity premium. According to Amihuda and Mendelson (1986b: 43–48), a required rate of return on the shares (gross, i.e. after taking into account the cost of liquidity) should increase with increasing liquidity, but the marginal increase should decrease with an increasing investment horizon, thus decreasing the likelihood of premature termination of the investment. As a result, investors with different investment horizons may require different rates of return per unit of time from the same shares (Huang 2003: 104–129). Investor horizon is the time period for which an investor holds a stock. Most of the research conducted on investment horizon links it to liquidity, supporting the thesis that it is negatively related to liquidity. “Transaction costs and the holding periods for common stocks” written by Atkins and Dyl (1997: 309–325) is one of the first papers to investigate the effects of liquidity on holding period. The aim of this study is to show the dependencies occurring between the phenomena of investment horizon and asymmetric information and the liquidity of shares of a company.

Dzięki temu możliwe jest zbudowanie spójnego opisu państwa w ujęciu architektonicznym.
Analysis of the relationships between the spatial arrangement of palaeovalleys and contemporary valleys of Central Poland in the light of GIS methods
Authors: Szmidt Aleksander
Published: February 2017

The article presents an example of application of selected GIS methods for showing connections between the course of palaeovalleys and contemporary valleys in Central Poland. The analysed area was shaped in the conditions of environment as early as the Palaeogene and Neogene, but the greatest impact on the present-day landscape came from the morphogenetic processes which operated in the Quaternary.Palaeogeographic studies of the analysed area often point to the possible dependencies between the contemporary landscape and its substrate, particularly as regards the valley system. In order to verify this hypothesis, on the basis of archival cartographic materials and a Digital Elevation Model of the current terrain, a procedure for conducting analyses with the use of commonly available GIS tools was proposed. Results of the conducted analysis allow for stating that the major river valleys of Central Poland in large part correspond to the arrangement of the fossil valley system, and the relationships are most easily noticeable for the largest valleys.
Stan hydromorfologiczny górnego odcinka rzeki Ner w świetle zastosowania metody River Habitat Survey (RHS)
Authors: Szymkiewicz Joanna , Twardy Juliusz
Published: February 2017

Latem 2014 roku zbadano przy wykorzystaniu metody River Habitat Survey (RHS) stan hydromorfologiczny górnego odcinka rzeki Ner. Posługiwanie się wymienioną metodą polega na przeprowadzeniu badań terenowych na wytypowanych odcinkach rzek. Podczas badań terenowych w specjalnych formularzach zbiera się kilkaset jakościowych i ilościowych parametrów dotyczących zarówno koryta rzecznego, jak i dna dolinnego, a także roślinności, użytkowania ziemi, budowli hydrotechnicznych itp. Zebrane dane pozwalają obliczyć dwa syntetyczne wskaźniki hydromorfologiczne, na podstawie których określa się klasę stanu hydromorfologicznego badanego odcinak rzeki. Do badań wybrano trzy odcinki: najwyższy odcinek Huta Wiskicka (I), następnie leżący niżej odcinek Gadka Stara (II) i odcinek najniższy – Lublinek (III). Odcinki badawcze I i II były położone poza granicami administracyjnymi Łodzi, natomiast odcinek III znajdował się w granicach miasta. Uzyskano umiarkowane i stosunkowo słabe oceny stanu hydromorfologicznego górnego odcinka Neru: odcinek najwyższy cechował stan słaby (klasa IV), odcinek środkowy miał stan umiarkowany (klasa III), a odcinek najniższy – stan zły (klasa V).

Published: February 2017

The objective of research work remained to study the effect of Selenium and Vit.E on Liver performance and efficiency in Rhode Island Red chicks to convert food into body mass. This research work was conducted to check the effects of selenium and Vitamin E on Liver function test in Rhode Island Red a day old chicks (n=96) which were set into four treatment groups. Group A was control group, Group B was administered with 1ml/10litre, Group C was administered with 1ml/7.5litre and Group D was given 1ml/5litre of Selenium and Vitamin E respectively. In Rhode Island Red chicks the amount of ALAT and ASAT decreased significantly (p less than 0.05) after administration of selenium and vitamin E in all treated groups. Samplings were carried out at regular intervals. The value of alkaline phosphatase decreased significantly (p less than 0.05) on 1st sampling and increased significantly (p>0.05) on 2nd, 3rd and 4th sampling in all treated groups. The amount of Bilirubin decreased significantly (p less than 0.05) in all treated groups except group B and C where a slight increase was observed on 4th and 3rd sampling respectively. There was significant difference (p less than 0.05) in feed conversion ratio (FCR) between control group and treated groups. The research suggested that vitamin E acts as immune enhancer by increasing the resistance against diseases and has also a positive effect on the feed conversion ratio and liver function test of the desi layer birds (Rhode Island Red).
Expression of the secretory form of recombinant regucalcin ofBubalus bubalis in methylotropic yeast
Authors: Bhure S. K. , Harikrishna P. , Usharani J. , Shende A. M. , Harikumar S.
Published: February 2017

Regucalcin is a multifunctional protein having an important role in calcium homeostasis, L-ascorbic acid biosynthesis, anti-prolific, anti-apoptotic functions as well as detoxification of chemical warfare nerve agents. Recently, it has been localized to male reproductive tract of rat and human, and identified as an androgen-target gene. The literature suggests a possible role of regucalcin in male fertility. However, no detailed studies have been conducted on its role in male reproductive organs of domestic animals. As an initial step, we had cloned and expressed regucalcin in Pichia pastoris. The sequence analysis showed 100% homology with regucalcin of Bos tours both at nucleotide and amino acid level. The SDS-PAGE and Western blot studies of recombinant protein probed with anti-regucalcin monoclonal antibody showed a higher molecular weight (56 kDa) than the expected (35.5 kDa) that could be due to hyperglycosylation. The recombinant regucalcin and its antibodies can be used to study the detailed role of the protein in male reproduction.

Published: February 2017

The present study was undertaken to compare the distribution and histomorphology of the tonsil of soft palate in Large White Yorkshire and indigenous pigs of Kerala. Tissue samples were collected from12 apparently healthy adult male animals. In both the groups of pigs, the tonsil of soft palate was located in the oropharynx and was found to be larger in Large White Yorkshire. Histological structure of tonsil of soft palate revealed that the average number of lymphatic nodules per microscopic field and lymphocyte count per nodule was maximum in indigenous pigs. Statistically significant differences were recorded in the average size of tonsils, crypt depth, number and size of lymphatic nodules and lymphocyte count per nodule in Large White Yorkshire and indigenous pigs.

Published: February 2017

An experiment was conducted with the objective of understanding the response of pigeonpea varieties to N levels under different method of planting. It consisted of 16 treatments with four methods of planting in main plots, two varieties and two N levels in double split plot (DSP) design. The results of pooled data indicated that significantly higher plant population (50,683 ha-1) and seed yield (1255 kg ha-1) besides lower cost of cultivation (Rs. 27,875 ha-1), higher net returns (Rs. 33,698 ha-1) and B:C ratio (2.19) were recorded with normal planting (90x20 cm) compared to other planting methods. Transplanted pigeonpea (120x90 cm) had significantly higher stem girth (10.32 cm) and number of pods plant-1 (1483) besides on par seed yield (1100 kg ha-1) with that of normal planting. However, the yield improvement is not substantial to offset the additional costs involved in nursery raising and transplanting. Though the performance of transplanted pigeonpea (90x90 cm) and dibbling (90x90 cm) was similar with regard to seed yield, dibbling fared well with regard to net returns and B:C ratio. PRG-158 variety accrued an additional net returns of Rs. 2340 ha-1 over Asha, due to its short duration. N doses didn’t differ significantly in respect of growth parameters, yield attributes and yield. Thus, normal planting method (90x20 cm) with PRG-158 variety and 20 kg N ha-1 can be recommended on Alfisols under rainfed conditions.
REKVIZITARIJUM PRAZNIKA I MITOLOGIJA BOŽIĆA U DELU ANĐEOSKO VESELJE NANDORA GIONA
Authors: Horvat Futo Hargita
Published: February 2017

Studija o delu Nandora Giona, pod naslovom Anđeosko veselje istražuje funkciju praznika kao kohezivne snage društva (čuvara kolektivnog identiteta), božićne obrede, njihove interakcije, nesvakidašnje oblike ponašanja, kulturne simbole reprezentativnih predmeta i vizuelnih efekata kojima se konstruiše praznična atmosfera ‒ prostor praznika. Zbirka, koja sadrži sedam priča, organizovana je po modelu Hiljadu i jedne noći. Kohezivni materijal tekstova, prepun biblijskih aluzija, jeste pripovedanje o božićnim praznicima ‒ recitovanje anđeoskog veselja i vitlejemski igrokaz. Pripovedanjem se može povratiti izgubljena ravnoteža, popraviti (u vreme praznika) usamljena, izmenjena ličnost, a svet prazničnih obreda i biblijska priča o rođenju Isusa implicira da se čovečanstvo može spasiti, da se čovek, uz pomoć dobrih dela, može popraviti.
ANGLOSAKSONSKA POP KULTURA U ROMANU SAVETI MORISONOVOG UČENIKA OBOŽAVATELJU DŽOJSA ROBERTA BOLANJA I A. G. PORTE
Authors: Kovačević Petrović Bojana
Published: February 2017

Predmet našeg istraživanja je prvi roman čileanskog pisca Roberta Bolanja Consejos de un discípulo de Morrison a un fanático de Joyce (Saveti Morisonovog učenika obožavatelju Džojsa), nastao u saradnji sa njegovim prijateljem, katalonskim književnikom Antonijem Garsijom Portom i objavljen 1984. godine. Temeljnom analizom dela koje sadrži sve potonje teme kojima će se Bolanjo baviti do kraja života (književnost, nasilje, smrt, ljubav, umetnost, kriminal, društvo, muzika), proučili smo elemente anglosaksonske popularne kulture kojima ova knjiga obiluje, a naročito reference na irskog književnika Džejmsa Džojsa i američkog pesnika i muzičara Džima Morisona. Budući da prvi roman Bolanja i Porte do sada nije preveden na srpski niti analiziran u akademskim člancima na našim prostorima, služili smo se literaturom na španskom i engleskom jeziku, zapisima Bolanja i Porte, novijim studijama hispanoameričke književnosti, kao i stručnim knjigama i tekstovima na srpskom jeziku o popularnoj kulturi i Džojsovom i Morisonovom stvaralaštvu. Zaključci do kojih smo došli mogu se svesti na sledeće: život na margini dvoje protagonista, Ane i Anhela, i njihova neprestana težnja da „provale na drugu stranu”, dva (alter ega) umetnika iz naslova romana koji samo na prvi pogled deluju kao dva kontrapunkta, omogućili su autorima romana da otvore svoja „vrata percepcije” zarad eksperimentisanja književnom formom (Džojs) odnosno samim životom (Morison).
JAVNI MEDIJSKI SERVISI U VISOKO DECENTRALIZOVANIM ZEMLJAMA EVROPSKE UNIJE
Authors: Šinković Norbert
Published: February 2017

Povezanost medijskih sistema i političkog uređenja države neminovna je polazna tačka ovog rada. Promene na jednoj strani te društveno-političke „vage” svakako utiču i na drugu stranu. Cilj rada je da ukaže na povezanost uređenja države i medijskih sistema sa naglaskom na analizu sistemske pozicije javnih servisa, njihove organizovanosti, društvene uloge i uticaja u visokodecentralizovanim zemljama Evropske unije. Pritom, jedna od važnijih aspiracija analize je da se u komparativnom evropskom „svetlu” sagleda problem demokratizacije i medijskih sloboda na primeru javnih servisa. Komparativna analiza državnih uređenja i javnih medijskih sistema Belgije, Španije, Italije i na kraju Srbije pokazala je da je početna hipoteza bila tačna, odnosno strukturu države „prati” struktura javnih medijskih servisa.
NOVI HORIZONTI U PEDAGOŠKOJ ODGOVORNOSTI
Authors: Knežević Florić Olivera
Published: February 2017

Konstrukt društva znanja ili društva učenja, danas se opojmljuje kao ontička potreba a ne ideal, a strategija doživotnog obrazovanja kao vid njegovog postvarenja. Društvena transformacija u kojoj živimo pokrenuta je radikalnom promenom u značenju znanja kao fenomena. I na Zapadu i na Istoku, znanje se oduvek poimalo kao nešto što se odnosi na biće, na postojanje; danas je znanje delanje, činjenje, ostvarenje. Postalo je resurs i korisno dobro, tačnije javno dobro. U tom smislu, nova obrazovna paradigma promoviše ispravnost delovanja, a ne savršenost znanja. Interakcija sveta rada i sveta obrazovanja do sada se ogledala u metafori izjednačavanja škole i fabrike (autoritarni hijerarhijski sistem, birokratija, rigidna podela rada, striktna uputstva za rad, kontrola u svim segmentima, ...); savremeni društveni diskurs traži novu metaforu škole – škole kao zajednice učenja.

U prvom delu rada, autorka iz ugla interpretativne paradigme razmatra pretpostavke društva znanja i njihove implikacije na pedagošku refleksiju. U drugom delu rada, naglašava se značaj kritičkog odnosa prema zanemarivanju bitnih pretpostavki društva znanja za pedagošku stvarnost, kao i potreba za redefinisanjem pedagoške odgovornosti nastavnika u pedagoškoj praksi društva znanja.

Published: February 2017

Cilj ovog rada je da se lokalna stručna javnost upozna sa testom kognitivnih sposobnosti koji se još nije primenjivao na našoj populaciji, kao i da se prikažu rezultati analize psihometrijskih svojstava iz primene ovog testa u okviru jedne pilot studije. Sistem za procenu kognitivnog funkcionisanja (Cognitive Assessment System - CAS) je namenjen merenju kognitivne efikasnosti kod dece uzrasta od 5 do 17 godina. Prema autorima testa, četiri faktora od kojih zavisi efikasnost u kognitivnom procesiranju su: planiranje, pažnja, simultana i sukcesivna obrada.  CAS ima standardnu (12 subtestova, sa po 3 subtesta po svakom faktoru kognicije) i bazičnu formu (8 subtestova, sa po 2 subtesta po svakom faktoru). U ovom istraživanju primenjena je Bazična baterija na uzorku od 93 deteta (69% dečaka), uzrasta od 5,5 do 7,5 godina . Rezultati pokazuju da su metrijska svojstva CAS-a zadovoljavajuća, da je distribucija skorova bliska normalnoj, da nema polnih razlika, a da su dobijene uzrasne razlike u skladu sa očekivanim. Rezultati analize glanvih komponenti pokazuju da CAS subtestovi tvore trofaktorsku latentnu strukturu, kao i jedan faktor višeg reda,ali i da je nametnuta četvorofaktorska latentna struktura informativna i u skladu sa PASS teorijom. Praktična primena CAS testa se ogleda u proceni kognitivnih procesa koji imaju najveći značaj u školskom sistemu, u detetovom daljem razvoju i školovanju.
RELACIJE AKADEMSKE DAROVITOSTI SA GIMNAZIJSKIM USMERENJEM UČENIKA I NIVOOM OBRAZOVANJA RODITELJA
Authors: Pekić Jasmina
Published: February 2017

Istraživanje prikazano u radu pretenduje da ponudi odgovore na dva pitanja: kakva je struktura razlika u intelektualnim sposobnostima učenika darovitih u dvema široko definisanim područjima znanja ili akademskim domenima, kao i da li se nivo akademske darovitosti gimnazijalaca razlikuje u odnosu na obrazovanje njihovih roditelja. Istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 177 gimnazijalaca prirodno-matematičkog i društveno- jezičkog smera sa teritorije Srbije, koji su identifikovani kao daroviti na osnovu natprosečnog postignuća na Kibernetičkoj bateriji testova inteligencije - KOG 3 (IQ>120) i odličnog školskog uspeha (prosečna ocena na polugodištu iznad 4,50).  Konstrukt akademske darovitosti definisan je  kao napredna ovladanost različitim akademskim područjima znanja, koja se temelji na visokim kognitivnim potencijalima, intrinzičkoj motivaciji i kreativnosti. Ovako definisana akademska darovitost merena je skalom od 13 ajtema, koja je konstruisana za potrebe istraživanja. Ispitivanje razlika u intelektualnom profilu učenika darovitih u dva šire definisana akademska domena upućuje na osnovanost razlikovanja dveju osnovnih formi akademskog talenta, od kojih je jedna verbalnog a druga neverbalnog tipa. Preciznije rečeno, dobijeni rezultati upućuju na veću razvijenost verbalnih sposobnosti u grupi akademski darovitih učenika koji pohađaju društveno-jezički smer gimnazije, dok su više sposobnosti vizuelne spacijalizacije registrovane u grupi darovitih učenika prirodno-matematičkog smera. Osim toga, ispitivanjem relacija između nivoa akademske darovitosti  i obrazovanja roditelja, ustanovljene su značajne razlike jedino u odnosu na obrazovni nivo majke.
SOCIOLOŠKO-DISKURZIVNA ANALIZA IDEOLOGIJE KAO OKVIR ZA ISTRAŽIVANJE DRUŠTVENIH PRAKSI NORMALIZACIJE
Authors: Ristić Dušan , Marinković Dušan
Published: February 2017

U radu je predstavljena sociološko-diskurzivna analiza (SDA) kao interdisciplinarni pristup istraživanju društvenih pojava. Posebno su istaknuti i objašnjeni pojmovi društvene prakse i režima delanja. Prihvaćena je definicija ideoloških diskursa kao racionalnih diskursa o društvenoj stvarnosti, ali ograničene refleksivnosti. Oni su dalje analizirani u kontekstu društvenih procesa normalizacije, odnosno u vezi sa problemima društvenih interesa, režima praksi i delanja, njihovog smisla i sociodiceje. U tom kontekstu je problematizovano i pitanje (de)legitimizacije ideoloških diskursa u društvu. U zaključnim razmatranjima je otvoreno pitanje društvene reprodukcije ideoloških diskursa i objašnjeno mesto i značaj ovih diskursa u kontekstu društvenih tehnologija normalizacije.
Logika ideja: Por Rojal i Dekartovo nasleđe
Authors: Popović Una
Published: February 2017

Ovaj rad posvećen je istraživanju nastanka i osnovnih odlika logike Por Rojala. Logika Por Rojala razumeva se kao nova ideja logike, bitno novovekovna po svom karakteru i utoliko suprotstavljena sholastičkoj i aristotelovskoj tradiciji. Sa druge strane, nastanak ove nove ideje logike naročito je problematičan usled razvoja mišljenja o metodu adekvatnog istraživanju domena prirode, odnosno unutar nauka. Rad ima za cilj da pokaže na koji način je razvoj nauka uticao na preobražaj logike, te kako je ista iznova našla svoje mesto u novovekovnom mišljenju uprkos Dekartu, ali istovremeno i na njegovom tragu. Analize će pokazati da je ovaj preobražaj logike bio moguć samo kao njena transformacija u jednu logiku ideja.
REDUKCIJA U FENOMENOLOGIJI I SLIKARSTVU
Authors: Prole Dragan
Published: February 2017

Članak zastupa tezu da se umetnik razlikuje od filozofa po tome što se po prirodi svoga posla već nalazi u ravni iskustva fenomenološke redukcije. Polazeći od metodoloških pretpostavki fenomenologije, kojima je izvan svega stalo da napuste okvire »mundane« filozofije, autor skreće pažnju da je i savremenoj umetnosti strana svaka pomisao da se zadrži u bilo kojem obliku reprodukcije postojeće stvarnosti. Drugi deo rada analizira filozofske uvide koji savremenu umetnost tumače kao spontanu negaciju prirodnog stava. Pokazivanje transformacija pojma apstrakcije dodatno osvetljava srodnosti fenomenologije i savremenskog slikarstva. Napuštanje naglašeno negativnih i afirmacija pozitivnih značenja apstrakcije proističu iz fundamentalne promene odnosa prema postojećem svetu. Ako za fenomenologiju apstrahovati znači praktikovati viđenje koje iz vlastite slobode kreira nove oblike, imenovane antičkim pojmom eidos, onda je reč o opštosti koja nadmašuje partikularne pojave prirodnog sveta. U traganju za takvim eidos leži osnova srodnosti fenomenologije i slikarstva.

ABSTRACTMothers play a significant role in the children health. Immunization compliance measurement is used to assess basic complete immunization coverage as an indicator of successfull immunization program. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of mother’s characteristics toward basic complete immunization non-compliance for children under- two-years. This study used observational analytic study and case control design. The number of sample in this study was 49 people for each group of case and control with cluster random sampling technique. This study used a logistic regression test and Odds Ratio to determine the significant variable. The results showed that mother’s education and knowledge risk for basic complete immunization non-compliance. Low educated mothers have 9,281 higher risk towad basic complete immunization non-compliance than high educated mothers. Mothers with less knowledge have 20,9 higher risk toward basic complete immunization non-compliance than mothers with good knowledge. It is conclude that mother’s characteristics that affect to basic complete immunization non-compliance are mother’s education and knowledge.

A new technology’s acceptance also gets shaped according to users’ features, expectations and perceptions. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) that developed by Davis (1989), defends that there are perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use variables to determinants of a new technology’s usage by user. These perceptions predict the user’s behavior and explain it. The smart board that has common usage in modern classrooms provides effectiveness at education and learning activities. Teachers who use smart boards can present more effectively. This situation increases the teacher’s productivity and student’s learning success and improvement the class’s education quality. Existence of the smart board in the classroom motivates all by self. Thanks to this technological device, it is easy to access internet based study materials. This study’s purpose is testing the user features explanation power effects to usage of smart board, which is a new education tool, based on TAM variables. For performing of the research, surveys have actualized with 24 teachers at Bartin High School with smart boards. Survey data have been interpreted based on correlation, factor and regression analyses in WarpPLS 5.0. Results have been concluded from analyse strongly supports research model.

Nowadays, the role of libraries is not only as a place to collect the rare references that can not be found in some bookstores, but rather serves as a vehicle for development and exploration potential of the human being, through the collection of reference in line with the development of contemporary, these ideals were impossible to realize if the enthusiasm of visitors to the library was minimal. The provision of library services is a major task of librarians in providing the sources of reference which can be utilized the users maximally. The adopted strategy is not enough just to complete the various collections of books or a variety of facilities and infrastructure to support the sustainability of the library. The important thing that must be concerned is creativity and the role of librarians in attracting public interest to continue to love reading. It is needed through the strategy and optimize the performance of the librarian. Thus the performance of librarians in managing and serving the visitors of the library must be improved from various aspects.
Microscale Investigations of Soil Heterogeneity: Impacts on Zinc Retention and Uptake in Zinc‐Contaminated Soils
Authors: Rosenfeld Carla E. , Chaney Rufus L. , Tappero Ryan V. , Martínez Carmen E.
Published: February 2017

Metal contaminants in soils can persist for millennia, causing lasting negative impacts on local ecosystems. Long‐term contaminant bioavailability is related to soil pH and to the strength and stability of solid‐phase associations. We combined physical density separation with synchrotron‐based microspectroscopy to reduce solid‐phase complexity and to study Zn speciation in field‐contaminated soils. We also investigated Zn uptake in two Zn‐hyperaccumulating ecotypes of Noccaea caerulescens (Ganges and Prayon). Soils were either moderately contaminated (500–800 mg Zn kg−1 via contaminated biosolids application) or grossly enriched (26,000 mg Zn kg−1 via geogenic enrichment). Soils were separated using sodium polytungstate into three fractions: light fraction (LF) (<1.6 g cm−3), medium fraction (MF) (1.6–2.8 g cm−3), and heavy fraction (HF) (>2.8 g cm−3). Approximately 45% of the total Zn was associated with MF in biosolids‐contaminated soils. From these data, we infer redistribution to the MF after biosolids application because Zn in biosolids is principally associated with HF and LF. Our results suggest that increasing proportions of HF‐associated Zn in soils may be related to greater relative Zn removal by Zn hyperaccumulating plants. Using density fractions enabled assessment of Zn speciation on a microscale despite incomplete fractionation. Analyzing both density fractions and whole soils revealed certain phases (e.g., ZnS, Zn coprecipitated with Fe oxides) that were not obvious in all analyses, indicating multiple views of the same soils enable a more complete understanding of Zn speciation.

Core Ideas

Ice embedding is a preferable method to prepare thin sections for μXAS analysis.

Soil phases essential for retaining Zn may be obscured in complex samples.

Zn removal is soil dependent and does not match well with single parameters.

Zn redistribution can occur over decades after contamination.

Solid phase Zn redistribution can continually alter Zn bioavailability.
Biogenic amines present in cheese – occurrence and threats

Published: February 2017

The review presents the general characteristics of biogenic amines present in cheese: the formation, the influence on the human body, the threats that ensue from the intake of them with food, the current limits of their amount in food and their ingestion, and also the methods of reducing the content of biogenic amines in food. Particular attention has been drawn to the presence of biogenic amines in cheese and the factors that determine the amount of these substances in cheese. The effect of microorganisms on the level of the amines in cheese, time and temperature of ripening and storing of cheese, as well as other factors like pH of cheese, salt concentration, pasteurization and homogenization of milk, accessibility of oxygen, redox potential, part of cheese and starter culture addition were discussed. The presented data indicate that biogenic amines are present in cheese in varying amounts, sometimes reaching levels toxic to humans. The main factors that increase the content of biogenic amines in cheese are microorganisms, in particular those not from the starter, long time and high temperature of ripening and storing. The decrease of biogenic amines content in cheese is favoured by pasteurization and homogenization of milk and by employment of high pressure on cheese (400 – 600 MPa). Other factors, such as pH, salt concentration, addition of starter cultures and herbs, accessibility of oxygen, redox potential also have an influence on the amount of biogenic amines in cheese; these, however, vary.
Avaliação das concentrações de fibrinogênio plasmático em equinos da raça Mangalarga Marchador: efeito do exercício, do gênero e da idade.

Published: February 2017

Muitas variáveis fisiológicas foram estudadas ao longo dos anos visando a investigação dos efeitos do exercício sobre o corpo equino. O exercício é conhecido por causar alterações fisiológicas no corpo e muitas vezes, quando excessivo, pode resultar em lesão. O fibrinogênio é uma proteína de fase aguda produzida pelo fígado cujas concentrações podem aumentar rapidamente em decorrência de processo inflamatório. Este estudo avaliou as concentrações de fibrinogênio em equinos Mangalarga Marchador, investigando a possibilidade de que o exercício inicia uma resposta inflamatória como parte do processo de adaptação que leva ao condicionamento físico. Sangue venoso foi coletado de 17 equinos hígidos antes e após o exercício e o fibrinogênio foi aferido por precipitação pelo calor. Foram realizados questionários respondidos pelos proprietários e eram referentes ao manejo sanitário dos equinos participantes do estudo. Foi observada diferença nos valores médios de fibrinogênio plasmático obtido antes e após o exercício. Quando se comparou animais que trabalhavam 3 dias por semana com o grupo que era exercitado 7 dias por semana observou-se diferença nos valores médios de fibrinogênio plasmático apenas após o exercício. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que o exercício causou uma resposta inflamatória leve, resultando em aumento do fibrinogênio após o exercício. Parece ser possível a utilização do fibrinogénio como biomarcador para a inflamação resultante do treinamento esportivo em equinos saudáveis e monitoramento da resposta fisiológica dos animais a fim de prevenir o treinamento excessivo.
The Role of Universal Stress Proteins in Bacterial Infections
Authors: O’Connor Andrew , McClean Siobhán
Published: February 2017

Universal stress proteins are ubiquitously expressed in bacteria, archaea and plants
and other eukaryotes. A general property of USPs is their role in adaptation of bacteria to oxidative
stress, high temperature, low pH and/or hypoxia. There is increasing evidence that
these proteins facilitate the adaption of bacterial pathogens to the human host environment,
thereby facilitating colonisation and pathogenicity. USPs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis are
well studied and may play a role in latency of tuberculosis. USP expressed by Acinetobacter
baumannii, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium are involved
in survival in vivo, while USPs expressed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Porphyromonas
gingivalis are involved in biofilm formation. Burkholderia cepacia complex and
Staphylococcus aureus express USPs that play roles in host cell or host protein adhesion.
There is also increasing evidence that USPs also bind to antimicrobial agents and may be
ideal candidates to target in the future design of new anti-virulence strategies.
Current Challenges and Opportunities for Chemoprevention of Pancreatic Cancer
Authors: Mohammed Altaf , Janakiram Naveena B. , Madka Venkateshwar , Li Min , Asch Adam S. , Rao Chinthalapally V.
Published: February 2017

Background:

The incidence of pancreatic cancer (PC) is rising in parallel with the deaths
caused by this malignant disease largely due to limited improvement in current treatment strategies. In
spite of aggressive PC research, for the past three decades, there has been no significant improvement
in the five-year survival for this cancer. Like many other cancers, it takes several years for normal
pancreatic cells to transform into pancreatic precursor lesions and to further progress into invasive carcinoma.
Hence there is a scope for the development of chemo-preventive strategies to inhibit/
delay/prevent progression of this disease into an advanced stage cancer.

Objective:

Chemoprevention of pancreatic cancer.

Method:

Review of published literature.

OResults and Conclusion:

Availability of various genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models of PC
has led to accelerated progress in understanding the disease and developing intervention strategies otherwise
stalled for a long time. These GEM models spontaneously develop PC in a stepwise manner
and mimic the disease etiology in humans. Understanding PC development from initiation to progression
to metastasis is very important for early detection and prevention of PC. In this review, we focus
on the current situation, the potential challenges, the progress in existing strategies and available opportunities
as well as suggest key areas for research within the increasingly important area of pancreatic
cancer chemoprevention.
