Objective. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), determined from peripheral blood, is accepted as an available and practical indicator of the systemic inflammation. In this study, we aimed to determine whether the NLR was higher in euthyroid chronic autoimmune thyreotidis (CAT) patients compared to a healthy control group.

Methods. A total of 112 patients were enrolled in this study, including 59 patients with euthyroid CAT on any form of therapy and 53 healthy controls. Th e CAT patients were similar in age to the healthy control group (mean 33.9±12.8 years versus 30.2±12.4 years, p=0.10). Measurements were available for the white blood cells (WBC), neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, C-reactive protein (CRP), thyroid peroxidase immune antibody (anti-TPO), and anti-thyroglobulin immune antibody (anti-TG). The NLR and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were calculated. Differences between the CAT and control groups were tested using the student’s t-test and the correlations were determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficients.

Results. There were no differences between the CAT and control groups for WBCs (7.9±0.3 and 7.4±0.2, respectively; p=0.1) or neutrophils (5.5±0.3 and 5.4±1.1; p=0.9), but lymphocytes were higher in the CAT group (3.1±0.5 vs. 2.04±0.1; p=0.05) as was the NLR (4.0±0.7 vs. 2.0±0.1; p=0.01). Th e NLR was positively correlated with CRP (r=0.6, p<0.001), anti-TPO (r=0.3, p<0.001), anti-TG (r=0.3, p=0.006), WBCs (r=0.4, p<0.001), and the PLR (r=0.73, p<0.001). The PLR was also higher in the CAT than the control group (p=0.02).

Conclusions. In this study, we found that NLR values were higher in euthyroid CAT patients than in a healthy control group and that NLR correlated with autoantibodies used to diagnose the disease.
Circumcenter, Circumcircle and Centroid of a Triangle
Authors: Coghetto Roland
Published: August 2016

We introduce, using the Mizar system [1], some basic concepts of Euclidean geometry: the half length and the midpoint of a segment, the perpendicular bisector of a segment, the medians (the cevians that join the vertices of a triangle to the midpoints of the opposite sides) of a triangle.

We prove the existence and uniqueness of the circumcenter of a triangle (the intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle). The extended law of sines and the formula of the radius of the Morley’s trisector triangle are formalized [3].

Using the generalized Ceva’s Theorem, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the centroid (the common point of the medians [4]) of a triangle.
Divisible ℤ-modules

Published: August 2016

In this article, we formalize the definition of divisible ℤ-module and its properties in the Mizar system [3]. We formally prove that any non-trivial divisible ℤ-modules are not finitely-generated.We introduce a divisible ℤ-module, equivalent to a vector space of a torsion-free ℤ-module with a coefficient ring ℚ. ℤ-modules are important for lattice problems, LLL (Lenstra, Lenstra and Lovász) base reduction algorithm [15], cryptographic systems with lattices [16] and coding theory [8].
Product Pre-Measure
Authors: Endou Noboru
Published: August 2016

In this article we formalize in Mizar [5] product pre-measure on product sets of measurable sets. Although there are some approaches to construct product measure [22], [6], [9], [21], [25], we start it from σ-measure because existence of σ-measure on any semialgebras has been proved in [15]. In this approach, we use some theorems for integrals.
Metrical universality for groups
Authors: Doucha Michal
Published: August 2016

We prove that for any constant

K
>
0

{K>0}

,
there exists a separable group equipped with a complete bi-invariant metric bounded by K,
which is isometric to the Urysohn sphere of diameter K and of ‘almost-universal disposition’.
It is thus an object in the category of separable groups with bi-invariant metric, analogous in its properties to the Gurarij space from the category of separable Banach spaces.
We show that this group contains an isometric copy of any separable group equipped with a bi-invariant metric bounded by K.
As a consequence, we get that it is a universal Polish group admitting a compatible bi-invariant metric
or a universal second countable SIN group.
Moreover, the almost-universal disposition shows that the automorphism group of this group is rich and it characterizes the group uniquely up to isometric isomorphism.
We also show that this group is in a certain sense generic in the class of separable groups with bi-invariant metric (bounded by K).

On the other hand, we prove that there is no metrically universal separable group with bi-invariant metric when there is no restriction on the diameter.
The same is true for separable locally compact groups with bi-invariant metric.

Assuming the generalized continuum hypothesis (GCH), we prove that there exists a metrically universal (unbounded) group of density κ with bi-invariant metric for any uncountable cardinal κ.
Moreover, under GCH, we deduce that there exists a universal SIN group of weight κ for any infinite cardinal κ.
A spectral representation of the linear multivelocity transport problem
Authors: Avalishvili Mariam , Shulaia Dazmir
Published: August 2016

The transformation of the original characteristic equation of the multivelocity linear transport theory was carried out by expanding the scattering function for the problem to be solved as a spectral integral over a complete set of eigenfunctions for the previously solved transport problem. The obtained equation represents a singular integral equation containing a spectral integral over the spectrum of the solved problem, whose kernel depends on the difference between the scattering of the problem to be solved and that of the already solved problem. We consider also the examples illustrating the validity of such a transformation. M. Kanal and J. Davies made a similar transformation of the characteristic equation of the one-velocity transport theory.

Authors: Truong Van-Hieu , Nguyen Lan Huong
Published: August 2016

Activated sludge acclimated to 2,4-D was used to degrade 2,4-D in batch reactions. Biogenic substrates of sucrose and peptone, in varying concentrations, separately and combined, were supplemented to the degradation reactions to find if, how and why biogenic supplementations were beneficial to the degradation of the xenobiotic. With the biogenic supplement as a variable and other reaction conditions, optimal constant supplementation schemes were found which suit as feasible ways for enhancing the degradation rate of 2,4-D. Among the number of supplementation combinations, the ones having optimal advantage were 50 mg/L of sucrose, 80 mg/L of peptone, each separately, and 20 mg/L sucrose and 40 mg/L peptone combined.

Published: August 2016

This study to enhance the discussion about the usefulness of benthic macroinvertebrates for water quality assessment in Saigon River and its tributaries. Data from 16 sites were used as a representative example for Saigon River and its tributaries in the area of basin over 4,500 km2, the length through provinces of Tay Ninh, Binh Phuoc, Binh Duong, and Ho Chi Minh City of about 280 km. The data covered the period of dry and rainy seasons in 2015, the survey sampled 16 sites (32 events) of the Saigon River and its tributaries selected. To implement this evaluation, the analyses were based on MRC methods and classifications these improved by the scientific group.

The analysis of general characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrates and bio-indices were used to examine the spatial patterns of water quality and biological groups. The value of good water quality was recorded in the sites far from industrial parks, crowded citizen areas, big cities (SG1 and SG2) while the sites in near urban Ho Chi Minh City and Thu Dau Mot Town or industrial areas (the section of Saigon River from SG6 to SG13) where had the value of worse water quality because of the more human activities. Especially, there was not any animal that was collected in the site SG7 because of too heavy pollution. The results demonstrated that these organisms could be applied to describe the ecological health in the Saigon River and its tributaries.
A Framework for the Evaluation of Marine Spatial Data Infrastructures – Accompanied by International Case-Studies
Authors: Seip Christian , Bill Ralf
Published: August 2016

Germany is currently developing a marine data infrastructure addressing different topics such as coastal engineering, hydrography and surveying, protection of the marine environment, maritime conservation, regional planning, and coastal research. This undertaking is embedded in a series of regulations and developments at many administrative levels, from which specifications and courses of action are derived. To set up a conceptual framework for the marine data infrastructure of Germany (MDI-DE), scientists at the Chair for Geodesy and Geoinformatics at the Rostock University are building a reference model, evaluating meta-information systems and developing models to support common workflows in marine applications.

Evaluating how other countries built their marine spatial infrastructures is important to learn where obstacles and errors are likely to occur. To be able to look at other initiatives from a neutral point of view, it is necessary to construct a framework for evaluating marine spatial data infrastructures (MSDI). This framework is then used to analyse and evaluate the efforts of Canada, Australia, and Ireland with respect to marine data infrastructures.
Transmitting the energy: interdomain cross-talk in Pdr5
Authors: Wagner Manuel , Doehl Katja , Schmitt Lutz
Published: August 2016

ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters are ubiquitous integral membrane proteins catalyzing the active export or import of structurally and functionally unrelated compounds. In humans, these proteins are clinically and economically important, as their dysfunction is responsible for a number of diseases. In the case of multidrug resistance (MDR) ABC exporters, they particularly confer resistance to a broad spectrum of toxic compounds, placing them in the focus of clinical research. However, ABC-mediated drug resistance is not only restricted to humans. In yeast for example, MDR is called pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR). Important and well-studied members of the PDR subfamily of ABC transporters are Pdr5 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its homolog Cdr1 from Candida albicans. Mutational studies of these two transporters provided many insights into the complexity and conceivable mechanism of the interdomain cross-talk that transmits the energy gained from ATP hydrolysis to the substrate translocation process across the membrane. In this review, we summarize and discuss our current knowledge of the interdomain cross-talk as well as new results obtained for asymmetric ABC transporters and derive possible structural and functional implications for Pdr5.

Stability of Reconstituted and Diluted Mitomycin C Solutions in Polypropylene Syringes and Glass Vials
Authors: Briot Thomas , Truffaut Christine , Le Quay Luc , Lebreton Anne , Lagarce Frederic
Published: August 2016

: Mitomycin C (MMC) is widely used in treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer at a 1 mg/mL concentration, by intravesical instillation. MMC is also used as an ophthalmic procedure in glaucoma care mostly with 0.2 mg/mL concentration. To accelerate syringes provision, it could be interesting to demonstrate the stability of the drug, in order to be able to prepare the chemotherapeutic drug several hours before the chemotherapy administration.

: A stability indicating HPLC-UV method was developed and validated according to the ICH guidelines. Concentrations of the MMC stored at 25 °C and 60 % of relative humidity and protected from light in polypropylene syringes (1 mg/mL and 0.2 mg/mL) or glass vials (1 mg/mL) were evaluated for 96 h and compared to the initial observed concentrations.

: MMC stability was demonstrated in syringes and glass vials at 1 mg/mL only for 8 h in water for injections and for 10 h at 0.2 mg/mL in 0.9 % sodium chloride solutions, because relative concentrations (95 % confidence interval of the mean of 3 samples) were systematically over 90 % of the initial concentrations. After 96 h the relative concentrations were found below 80 % as compared to initial concentrations, thus indicating instability of these solutions. Degradation products were observed and remained below 3 %.

: This study confirms that MMC solutions for ophthalmic application at 0.2 mg/mL or vesical instillation at 1 mg/mL have to be formulated extemporaneously to maintain the desired concentration.

Authors: Avsenik Jernej , Oblak Janja Pretnar , Popovic Katarina Surlan
Published: August 2016

Background

The aim of the study was to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) in the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST).

Methods. Screening our neurological department database, we identified 53 patients who were admitted to neurological emergency department with clinical signs of CVST. Two independent observers assessed the NCCT scans for the presence of CVST. CT venography and/or MR venography were used as a reference standard. Interobserver agreement between the two readers was assessed using Kappa statistic. Attenuation inside the cerebral venous sinuses was measured and compared between the patient and the control group.

Results

CVST was confirmed in 13 patients. Sensitivity and specificity of NCCT for overall presence of CVST were 100% and 83%, respectively, with Kappa value of 0.72 (a good agreement between observers). The attenuation values between CVST patients and control group were significantly different (73.4 ± 14.12 HU vs. 58.1 ± 7.58 HU; p = 0.000). The ROC analysis showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.916 (95% CI, 0.827 – 1.00) and an optimal cutoff value of 64 HU, leading to a sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 87%.

Conclusions

NCCT as a first-line investigation has a high value for diagnosis of CVST in the emergency setting. The additional measurement of the sinus attenuation may improve the diagnostic value of the examination.
Islamic Banking and Financial Development
Authors: Lebdaoui Hind , Wild Joerg
Published: August 2016

Abstract With the growing number of Islamic banks worldwide, much ink has been spilled on heated debate about its merits and ability to improve the financial sector. In order to buttress the subject matter of this debate, this paper investigate the link between Islamic banking assets share and the financial development. Using five different proxies of financial development from 22 countries for the period between 2000 and 2013, this research employs the generalized method of moments to cope with the endogeneity problem, and concludes that the share of Islamic banking is positively associated with the banking sector activity as measured by private credit. The competition of banking sector intensifies in countries with higher Islamic bank shares resulting in smaller net interest margin, whereas the structure of the financial sector does not change. A financial sector index composite regression showed that in general, financial development is positively linked to the Islamic banking presence. These findings provide empirical evidence that Islamic banking presence benefits financial development in Muslim countries.
Effectiveness of Counter-Trafficking Response in Albania
Authors: Meçe Merita H.
Published: August 2016

Human trafficking is a new phenomenon of Albanian post-socialist society which significantly increased during the difficult years of its transformation from centralized state-led economy to market economy. Both economic and political instability contributed to its size, nature and multiple dynamics. Drawing on a rights-based approach to human trafficking, this paper examines the effectiveness of the counter-trafficking response of the Albanian government with a special emphasis on prevention, protection and prosecution. Using secondary data and reviewing various country strategic documents, it highlights a range of weaknesses and challenges which have hindered its effectiveness over years. It concludes that successful and effective counter-trafficking response requires well rounded and coordinated gender sensitive, victim-centred, holistic and human rights-based efforts. Combined with adequate law enforcement, they will sustainably tackle the full spectrum of this problem.
Usage de l’objet, signification et émergence de la conscience à l’étape préverbale du développement: Une perspective édusémiotique
Authors: Moro Christiane
Published: August 2016

Cet article considère la sémiotique de Peirce en appui des thèses historico-culturelles de Vygotski dans le cadre de l’étude du développement psychologique de l’enfant avant le langage. Vygotski, dans ses travaux sur les relations langage-pensée, pose les bases d’une approche sémiotique de la conscience et de sa genèse à partir de l’avènement du langage, et souligne que l’éducation constitue la condition de possibilité de ce même développement, sans toutefois articuler dimensions sémiotique et éducative. Les travaux sur la Pragmatique de l’objet qui permettent d’approcher l’étude sémiotique de la conscience durant la phase préverbale du développement via les objets artefacts et leurs significations publiques, suggèrent une articulation de ces deux dimensions au travers de la sémiotique peircienne. Nous montrerons comment la sémiotique peircienne permet de rendre visible la construction de la signification et du signe. A cet égard, l’apport de l’approche phénoménologique de Heidegger sera également évoqué.
A Parameter-based Method for Translating Polish Contract Law Terms into Spanish
Authors: Nowak-Michalska Joanna
Published: August 2016

The paper deals with problems of legal translation from Polish into
Spanish. It analyses selected terms related to contracts which are regulated
in the Polish Civil Code and their possible translations into Spanish. In order
to find adequate translation equivalents the author applies the method of
parametrisation of legal terms (along with the method of comparing parallel
texts and the skopos theory). The parametrisation of legal terms helps to systematically
characterise and compare them and thus to identify differences in
the meanings of the source language and target language terms and to choose
the best equivalents. It may also facilitate the selection of a technique of providing
translation equivalents for non-equivalent or partially equivalent terms.
Parametrisation is understood as determining for each analysed term a set of
properties it shows with respect to translationally relevant parameters – one
property out of each parameter. A parameter is conceived of as a set of homogeneous
properties.
Ground Simulation of High Altitude Test of Turbo-Refrigeration Cycle
Authors: Paek Seungyun , Kim Kyeongsu , Park Sungsoon , Kwon Sejin
Published: August 2016

This study proposes a new test approach for a ram air-driven turbo-refrigeration system. The flight performance of the air cycle turbo-refrigerator is indirectly verified through ground tests under various flight conditions, and the actual altitude performance is predicted through dimensional analysis and similarity based on the ground test results. In addition, correction of the Reynolds number is also considered for adequate prediction of performance. This study develops a turbo-refrigerator that consists of a radial turbine and a centrifugal compressor. As this simple system drives the reverse Brayton cycle, it acts as a refrigerator that relieves the heat load. Although the ram air and exhaust conditions are usually simulated in high altitude test facilities, they are very costly and not suitable for prototype development, which often demands requirement and specification changes. The proposed system is designed to deliver a cooling capacity over 2 kW through the heat exchanger at a Mach number of 0.8 and altitude up to 10 km. As a result of current study, the proposed test approach predicts that air cycle turbo-refrigeration system yields sufficient cooling capacity to comply with the requirements for the primary mission flight envelope under the hot day condition, despite slight performance degradation at high altitudes.
National Council on Public History Presidential Address

Holding the Accountability Problem Accountable: Response Mechanisms to Counter-Majoritarian Decisions
Authors: Bridge Dave
Published: August 2016

If the Supreme Court rules against the wishes of the majority, how can that majority respond?  I argue that while federal judges will never stand for election, majorities can employ various response mechanisms to counter-majoritarian decisions.  I draw out observable expectations for inter-branch, local, and electoral responses.  I then test these expectations in cases from the “mature” New Deal—communism, school prayer, busing, and abortion—showing the range of effective results achieved by anti-Court majorities.  Given these results, I conclude that there is no “accountability problem”; there is just a narrow definition of accountability.

Casa-grande e senzala, de Gilberto Freyre, na Itália
Authors: Cherobin Nicoletta
Published: August 2016

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar exemplos de escolhas tradutórias ligadas a um léxico tipicamente brasileiro evidenciadas a partir da análise de uma seleção de paratextos da versão italiana de Casa-grande e senzala: formação da família brasileira sob o regime de economia patriarcal (1933), de Gilberto Freyre, publicada com o título Padroni e schiavi e traduzida por Alberto Pescetto, em 1965, pela editora Einaudi. Para atingir este objetivo e embasar teoricamente este artigo, utilizaram-se contribuições de teóricos dos Estudos da Tradução (TOROP, 2010; BAKER, 1998; VENUTI, 1999; GENTZLER, 1998), mas sobretudo dos estudos paratextuais (GENETTE, 1989; YUSTE FRIAS, 2010; TORRES, 2011). A análise de alguns paratextos selecionados (representados pela capa, os prefácios e o glossário) proporcionou a apresentação da ligação entre as traduções produzidas, da mesma obra, em diversos contextos culturais e geográficos: o estadunidense, o francês e o italiano. De fato, a produção de Padroni e schiavi conta com a contribuição dos intelectuais franceses da École des Annales [Escola dos Anais] e, indiretamente, do brasilianista Samuel Putnam, responsável pela tradução estadunidense usada como referência para a tradução francesa e, em seguida, a italiana. Como conclusão foi possível evidenciar também algumas caraterísticas meramente distintivas deste último contexto histórico e cultural de recepção.
Clarice Lispector sob a ótica da imprensa norte-americana
Authors: Hanes Vanessa Lopes Lourenço , Guerini Andréia
Published: August 2016

O objetivo do presente artigo é verificar, por meio de um tipo de aparato epitextual como e quando se dá a presença de Clarice Lispector na imprensa norte-americana, a partir da análise de artigos publicados no jornal The New York Times, disponível integralmente em formato eletrônico. O método utilizado para a análise dos dados foi a compilação das informações primordiais em um quadro subdividido em data de publicação, seção do jornal em que o artigo se insere, autor, título e resumo do conteúdo. Os resultados encontrados indicam que a presença de Clarice Lispector naquele jornal se dá desde outubro de 1964, e não apenas nas seções dedicadas à literatura, mas também naquelas voltadas a outros âmbitos, como música e cinema. Da análise dos dados, concluiu-se que Clarice Lispector foi, desde o princípio de suas aparições no jornal estudado, apresentada ao leitorado norte-americano como uma autora canonizada, e que sua presença cresceu mais recentemente na mídia norte-americana graças principalmente ao trabalho de seu editor e biógrafo Benjamin Moser.

Aberrations in the Body and in the Body Politic: The Eighteenth-Century Life of Benjamin Lay, Disabled Abolitionist
Authors: Kogan Nathaniel Smith
Published: August 2016

This article re-evaluates traditional interpretations and presentations of the (in)-famous eighteenth century Quaker abolitionist, Benjamin Lay, by arguing that his physical disability provided the foundation for his advocacy to eliminate slaveholding amongst his fellow Friends. The article will first establish the historical context Benjamin Lay's life and transatlantic travels to explain the roots of his abolitionist advocacy. Then, this article will analyze Lay's radical abolitionism both within the context of eighteenth-century Quaker antislavery and through the lens of disability history. This methodological approach will reveal that Lay displayed a clear awareness of his non-conforming body and the ways that its marginalizing effects empowered him to radically challenge the Quaker slaveholding establishment. The article will then analyze Lay's All Slave-Keepers, Apostates and argue that Lay rhetorically constructed his own disability in this text through both a religious lens and through the emerging Enlightenment concept of human aberrance and hierarchy. Finally, the article will conclude by analyzing some of the earliest visual representations of Lay's strange body and contend that the context in which they were commissioned and circulated forged a positive connection between Lay's disability and his abolitionist accomplishments.

Background: The incidence of acetabular fractures is increasing worldwide at a rapid rate due to increase in rail and road traffic accidents and high velocity injuries. The incidence of acetabular fractures is increasing worldwide at a rapid rate due to increase in rail and road traffic accidents and high velocity injuries.

Methods: 30 patients aged between 18 to 60 years with closed displaced acetabular fractures were included into the study. A single surgical approach such as the Kocher-Langenbeck, the ilioinguinal, and the extended iliofemoral approach was selected depending on the type of fracture, with the expectation that the fracture reduction and fixation can be completely performed through the one approach.

Results: Out of the 30 patients, 12 patients were between the 21-30 age group and 10 were between 31-40 age group with most of them being males involved in road traffic accidents. Predominance of right side was seen in 22 (73, 33%) and 8 (26.66%) persons had left sided fractures. Posterior wall fractures were seen in 5 cases while transverse was seen in 4 cases. Combinations of both were seen in 8 patients. The outcomes were good in more than 56% of the cases and good in more than 30% of them.

Conclusions: Present study needs further follow up for better understanding of long term results.
Kulturális intelligencia bemutatása, mérési lehetőségei
Authors: Garamvölgyi Judit , Rudnák Ildikó
Published: August 2016

A munkahelyi hatékonyságot számos tényező befolyásolja, ezek egyike a kulturális intelligencia, melynek szintje a más kultúrába való sikeres beilleszkedést és hatékonyságot jelzi. A CQ kutatása 1997-ben kezdődött. A kulturális intelligencia négy képességkörből (ösztönzés, tudás, stratégia, akció) áll össze, amelyek együttesen határozzák meg a CQ értéket. Mérésére a tudományosan validált Kulturális intelligencia skála (CQS), és a Kulturális intelligencia önértékelés használható.
Tanulási motivációk vizsgálata a Szent István Egyetem hallgatóinak körében
Authors: Kiss Ádám Gergő
Published: August 2016

Születésünk pillanatától arra vagyunk „ítélve”, hogy tanuljunk. Azonban ha nincs meg a kellő ösztönző erő, a kellő motiváltság a tanuláshoz, akkor nem jöhet létre valódi tanulás. Ezért fontos, hogy az egyén minél előbb felismerje azokat a motívumokat, amelyek őt a leginkább ösztönzik a tanulásra. Vizsgálatomban a Vallerand és társai által adaptált Academic Motivation Scale (1992) kérdőívet alkalmazom a Szent István Egyetem hallgatóinak körében, hogy képet kaphassunk arról, mi motiválta, motiválja a jelenlegi hallgatókat abban, hogy egyetemi tanulmányokat folytassanak.
„Multikulturális tréning” külföldi hallgatókat oktatók számára
Authors: Rudnák Ildikó , Komor Levente , Józsa Imola
Published: August 2016

Egy oktatási intézményben, a Szent István Egyetemen, multikulturalitással foglalkozó, az oktatók számára szervezett tréning elméleti és vizsgálati eredményeit tárjuk fel. Aktualitását a növekvő külföldi hallgatói létszám szolgáltatja, ami nemcsak az angol nyelven oktatott tanórák számának növekedését jelenti, hanem az intézmény humán erőforrásának megfelelő felkészítését is. A tréning elemzése után javaslatokat teszünk a felmerülő problémák enyhítésére, a sokszínűség előnnyé formálására, a multikulturalizmusban rejlő lehetőségek kiaknázására.
A merger típusú cégösszeolvadások multikulturalitási kockázatokat érintő kommunikációs aspektusai
Authors: Gősi Mariann
Published: August 2016

Összeolvadásnak nevezzük azt a cégátalakulási folyamatot, amikor két/több cég közös akaratból erőforrásaiknak egyesítése végett új egységgé alakul. Az eddigi cégkarakterisztikák, legyenek azok bármilyen homogének is az összeolvadást megelőzően, jelentősen megváltozhatnak. Az összeolvadás számos alternatív módon képzelhető el. A tanulmány elméleti szinten igyekszik a változásértékelés keretében feltárható kommunikációs kockázatszinteket az összeolvadási folyamatot leírni képes szempontok alapján konzisztensen, statikusan és dinamikusan modellezni, amelynek segítségével a tervezési folyamatok támogatottsága jelentősen növekedhet. A knowhow alkalmas tanácsadásban érdekelt startup alapítására.
Identitás multikulturális kontextusban
Authors: Hidasi Judit
Published: August 2016

A multikulturalizmus kontextusában járjuk körül az identitás kérdését. Rámutatunk arra, hogy a kultúra terén a várakozásokkal ellentétben a globalizáció előrehaladása ellenére, illetve mondhatni részben annak is tulajdoníthatóan az egységesüléssel párhuzamosan inkább a kulturális diverzifikáció látszik erősödni.Számba vesszük az e mögött meghúzódó társadalmi és szociálpszichológiai okokat – amelyek közül kiemelkedik az identitás fontossága. Konkrét esetek bemutatásával rávilágítunk a kulturális diverzifikációból adódó emberjogi, szociális, vallási és nyelvi kihívások sorára, amelyeket az egyes társadalmak és kultúrák eltérő módon és hatékonysággal kezelnek. Noha az egyéni szinten és a kollektív szinten jelentkező identitás problémák kezelésére egységes és azonos megoldás nincs, de röviden utalunk a média és oktatás szerepére a konfliktuskezelés, a véleményformálás és a közösségi kooperáció dimenziójában.
„Mit várunk el a pályakezdőktől?” Vélemények és szempontok a cégek oldaláról
Authors: Czeglédi Csilla , Juhász Tímea
Published: August 2016

Napjainkban a pályakezdők munkaerő-piaci helyzete az egyik legkérdésesebb. Gyakran e társadalmi csoport elvárásai és képességei nem igazán találkoznak a munkáltatók elvárásaival, és ez is az oka annak, hogy a pályakezdők munkaerő-piaci elhelyezkedése sok problémát és feladatot vet fel. Ez volt az egyik indoka annak, hogy a 2013-2014-es évben egy kérdőíves felmérés készült annak érdekében, hogy megvilágításra kerüljön a foglalkoztató cégek véleménye és alkalmazási szempontjai a pályakezdőkkel szemben. A vizsgálatban kimondottan magyar szervezetek voltak, így jellemzően a hazai vállalatok véleményéről, hozzáállásáról adunk képet a publikációnkban. Habár az adott vizsgálat nem tekinthető reprezentatívnak, ám jól mutathatja a hazai foglalkoztatóknak a pályakezdőkkel szembeni elvárásait. A kutatási eredmények azt igazolják, hogy a vizsgálatban résztvevő szervezetek mérete csak részben determinálja, hogy milyen a viszonyulásuk és a megítélésük a pályakezdőkkel szemben.
Fény – Élmény
Authors: F. Orosz Sára
Published: August 2016

A kultúra és a fény megnyilvánulásai a világ művészettörténetében. A fény szerepe a kezdetektől meghatározó az emberi kultúrtörténetben. A különböző korok művészei megannyi eltérő módon fogalmazták meg az erről alkotott képüket. Festmények, plasztikák, valamint a tárgykultúra számos opusza is erről tanúskodik. Vajon milyen szempontok szerint öltött testet az ihlet és a fenti tárgy egysége? A tanulmány bepillantást enged abba, hogy a világ mely részén hogyan vélekedtek erről a képzőművészet és az iparművészeti terület különböző ágaiban alkotó gondolkodók.

Hermann Oldenberg y el imperativo histórico: escribiendo una biografía del Buddha Gautama desde la Alemania decimonónica
Authors: García Fernández Roberto Eduardo
Published: August 2016

En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX el budismo era ya una religión bien conocida entre los círculos académicos y literarios en Europa. Sin embargo, la multiplicidad de textos y versiones doctrinales de las diferentes escuelas budistas planteaba un dilema a los estudiosos pioneros en el campo: ¿cuál era la verdadera historia y enseñanza del Buddha? Aunque se produjeron numerosos estudios y versiones biográficas sobre el Buddha, la redactada por el orientalista alemán Hermann Oldenberg resalta por su reconstrucción historicista y su pretensión de haber utilizado las fuentes originales. En este artículo se analiza la forma en la que la obra de Oldenberg representó un esfuerzo por reconstruir una hagiografía a través de la óptica de una sociedad moderna y racionalista que exigía coherencia con respecto a los hechos religiosos, imponiendo una perspectiva totalizadora a un material heterogéneo que en sí mismo es fragmentario, y contribuyendo de esta manera a la “construcción” de la vida del Buddha Gautama como un todo coherente.

Authors: López Puerta Francis Marcial , León-Manco Roberto Antonio , Beltrán-Silva Jorge Arturo
Published: August 2016

mordida convencional y técnica digital directa con dispositivo de carga acoplada empleando una base de datos con los registros diagnósticos. Materiales y métodos: Se evaluó la base de datos de los diagnósticos radiológicos de 108 piezas dentarias (50 molares y 58 premolares) con 106 superfi cies mesiales cariadas y 100 superficies distales cariadas. Esta base de datos registraba el diagnóstico de caries proximal en R0, R1, R2, R3 y R4; clasificación hecha por Pitts modifi cada por la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia. Se calculó la concordanciaen el diagnóstico, obteniendo un coefi ciente Kappa de p<0.01. El estudio tuvo una signifi cancia de 95% y un p<0.05. Resultados: Según la técnica de aleta de mordida convencional se encontró un 53,9% de R0, 22,3% de R1, 7,8% de R2, 11,2% de R3, y 4,9% de R4 y con la técnica digital directa con dispositivo de carga acopladaun 52,9% de R0, 14,6% de R1, 11,7% de R2, 14,6% de R3, y 6,3% de R4. Conclusiones: Existe diferencia en el diagnóstico radiológico de lesiones de caries dental interproximal utilizando ambas técnicas. Sin embargo, no se puede afi rmar la superioridad de alguna de ellas por falta de gold estándar histológico.
