Contribution of granulometric fractions in phosphorus distribution in old alluvial soil
Authors: BROGOWSKI ZYGMUNT , KWASOWSKI WOJCIECH
Published: May 2015

Phosphorus content and balance in granulometric fractions of old alluvial soil developed from alluvial deposits od Vistula River in middle Poland was studied. The distribution of phosphorus in particular granulometric fractions of the studied soil showed high quantitative variability vertically in the profile. This resulted from the layered structure of the Vistulian old alluvial formation developed throughout the Holocene. The contribution of grain fractions in phosphorus accumulation increased with a decrease in their diameter, and in certain fractions with a decrease in their quantitative state. Eluviation of phosphorus down the soil profile concerned in particular grain fraction <0.02 mm. Fractions with a larger diameters were not subject to the process. Phosphorus resources calculated from the grain fraction balance in the analysed soil amounted to an average of 1.7 kg·m2 to a depth of 200 cm.

Streszczenie

Celem przeprowadzonych badań było wskazanie najważniejszych problemów związanych z gleboznawczą klasyfikacją gruntów rolnych w rejonie Kopalni Węgla Brunatnego „Bełchatów”. Analiza polegała na porównaniu danych dla wsi Łękińsko zawartych na mapach i w operatach klasyfikacyjnych z 1959 roku (okres przed otwarciem KWB „Bełchatów”) z mapami i operatami zaktualizowanymi w 1998 roku, tj. około 20 lat po rozpoczęciu działalności przez kopalnię. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że jedynie 14% obszaru obrębu Łękińsko niezajętego przez kopalnię zostało objęte ponowną klasyfikacją gruntów. Odkrywki glebowe zostały zlokalizowane wyłącznie na terenach, których użytkowanie zmieniło się w stosunku do stanu z 1959 roku z tym, że nie wszystkie nowo wyróżnione kontury glebowe były reprezentowane przez nowe odkrywki glebowe. Liczba odkrywek w stosunku do liczby nowo wydzielonych konturów klasyfikacyjnych wydaje się być niewystarczająca. Zmiany klas bonitacyjnych po aktualizacji w 1998 roku dotyczyły tylko tych działek, na których w stosunku do roku 1959 zmieniło się użytkowanie, najczęściej z gruntów ornych na użytki zielone. W ocenie autorów, zamiana klasy gruntu ornego (np. IIIa) na analogiczną klasę użytku zielonego (np. III) stosowana w trakcie aktualizacji mapy klasyfikacyjnej nie zawsze jest prawidłowa, ze względu na zróżnicowaną rangę czynników decydujących o wyborze klasy bonitacyjnej dla gruntów ornych i użytków zielonych. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników autorzy sugerują, aby aktualizacji map klasyfikacyjnych dla obszarów objętych silnym odwodnieniem spowodowanym np. przez działalność kopalń odkrywkowych lub głęboką meliorację, nie ograniczać tylko do działek o zmienionym użytkowaniu, a wykonywać na całym obszarze przeznaczonym do aktualizacji. Aktualizacja każdego nowego konturu klasyfikacyjnego powinna być dokonywana w oparciu o odpowiednią liczbę odkrywek glebowych położonych, w miarę możliwości, w niedalekim sąsiedztwie w stosunku do odkrywek z pierwszej mapy klasyfikacyjnej, co umożliwiłoby porównywanie ich właściwości oraz analizę zmian jakie zaszły w glebach w wyniku głębokiego odwodnienia.

Published: May 2015

The purpose of this work was to experiment a didactic method to enhance learning of L2 by using psychomotor development in a first class of an Italian primary school. Two fundamental questions were posed at the outset of the project: a) can activities based on psycho-motor tasks enhance target language vocabulary acquisition in a group of first graders?; b) can creating a reggae/hip-hop song, improve pronunciation and retention of basic target language vocabulary? The target sample, consisted of 66 children from first grade, was divided into two groups (control vs experimental group). The protocol contents were taught over a period of 20 weeks and were closely related to those of the program of English. The significance of score differences in the entrance test and the final test was quantified through the analysis of the variance. The analysis of the results showed an improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group with respect to the acquisition and retention of L2 vocabulary. On the other hand, the data regarding pronunciation of the target language vocabulary tell a different story, with no significant difference emerging between the two groups. This experimental project allowed us to verify how physical activity and play, used as the primary teaching tool, can enhance L2 learning in primary school.
Analysis of a Dynamical Cournot Duopoly Game with Distributed Time Delay
Authors: SÎrghi Nicoleta , NeamȚu Mihaela , Străin Petru Claudiu
Published: May 2015

The aim of the paper is to analyze the dynamic model of the Cournot duopoly game with bounded rationality associated to two firms. We consider the cost function of the first firm as nonlinear and for the second firm as linear. The players do not have a complete knowledge of the market and they follow a bounded rationality adjustment process based on the estimation of the marginal profit. Also, the distributed time delay is introduced, because the decisions at the current time depend on the average past decisions. The mathematical model is described by a distributed delay differential system with two nonlinear equations. The study for the local stability of the Nash equilibrium point is carried out in the case of two types of kernels: weak (exponential) and Dirac. A change in local stability of the equilibrium point, from stable to unstable, implies a Hopf bifurcation. The delays are considered as bifurcation parameters. In some conditions of the parameters of the model, we have proved that a family of periodic solutions bifurcates from the equilibrium point when the bifurcation parameter passes through a critical value. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the effectiveness of our results. Finally, conclusions and future researches are provided.
International Confidence in Italian Economy. A Spread and Gambling Analysis
Authors: Murgea Aurora
Published: May 2015

Gambling is an ancient human activity with a prevalent position nowadays both as a social entertainment activity and as a way to gain money effortless. Every country has its specific pattern in gambling determined both by its cultural and macroeconomic determinants and by its national regulatory framework. Macroeconomic variables as gross national income per capita, annual variation of GDP or unemployment were previously proved to be connected with the gambling industry. The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects generated by the internal and external loss of confidence in the Italian economy, as an effect of the latest financial crisis, over the Italian gambling industry. The level of spread between the 10 years yield of Italian and German government bonds is used as a proxy for the international trust in the Italian economy and the Economic Sentiment Indicator is used to describe the Italian citizens' confidence. The main results show a strong positive, statistically significant correlation between skill games and spread and an unexpected negative significant correlations between spread and lottery, one of the purely fortune games that was often seen as an ultimate chance to survive the crisis. The Economic Sentiment Indicator seems not to be correlated with any of the gambling categories.
Sensory submodalities testing in neurolinguistic programming, part of mental training

Published: May 2015

Introduction: this study is part of a larger work, which involves increasing sporting performance by applying mental training techniques - special techniques of neurolinguistic programming. In this case we will discuss some aspects of the test application Jacobson S. (2011).

Purpose of study and hypothesis: In neurolinguistic programming (NLP) we have studied the relationship between sensory submodalities, in accordance with the Jacobson test (2011). We wanted to check the degree of significance of the mean difference parameters studied and if the materiality result falls within the objective parameters. If ideomotor representations of athletes are completed with multiple sensations of all sensory submodalities such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory and gustatory, the possibility of applying the techniques of NLP (neurolinguistic programming) will have more effective results.

Methods and material: two records were made by using two tests, test1 and test2 on master students of the University “Babes-Bolyai” Cluj-Napoca, from FEFS from APS department (training and sports performance). The statistical indicators were calculated on elements of descriptive statistics and the data is presented using indicators of centrality, location and distribution. Statistical analysis of non-parametric Wilcoxon test was used for sample pairs (data uneven distribution/rank). Materiality tests used was α=0.05 (5%), α=0.01 (1%) or α=0.001.

Results and deliberations: to detect the correlation between the two variables we used the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (ρ). Statistical analysis was performed using the correlation coefficients Colton’s rule. It was found that no statistically significant differences were observed (p>0.05) in the statistical analysis of sample pairs Jacobson test values (times T1-T2). This is a result of the short timeframe - just one month - for objectives reasons. However, many of them appear in a good and a very good correlation to both tests, between the values of the items studied.

Conclusions and recommendations: we want to continue with this study because the time difference between T1 and T2 was very small and we want to extend this study to a minimum of three months. All sensory submodalities are particularly important in achievingideomotor representations underlying mental training.
Quality of life assessment for patients with elbow arterio-venous fistula – a multicenter study
Authors: Pantea Stelian , Bengulescu Iustinian , Garofil Dragoş , Pantea Corina , Strâmbu Victor
Published: May 2015

End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a chronic medical condition that has become a public health problem. A vascular access is mandatory for patients with ESRD in order to receive hemodialysis. The elbow fistula is the most used procedure for creating the vascular access. Maintaining the fistula’s patency represents a constant struggle for these patients representing their lifeline. Our goal was to evaluate the impact that the elbow fistula has on the patient’s life quality (QoL). We performed a multicenter study in the 2nd surgical clinic, Timisoara Emergency County Hospital and the General Surgery department, “Carol Davila” Nephrology Clinical Hospital, Bucharest. We included only the patients that had their first vascular access procedure (elbow fistula) created in one of our centers. All patients completed the SF-36 questionnaire before surgery and at 6 months and 1 year after surgery. The SF-36 score has two major categories: the physical component summary (PCS) and the mental component summary (MCS). The results showed a decrease in the patients QoL after surgery (13.63% for the PCS and 6.87% for the MCS). Also elderly patients (>60 years age) had a decrease in the QoL of 19.11%PCS and 8.17%MCS compared to 10.20%PCS and 4.12%MCS for younger patients. Socio-economic status also has an impact on the patients QoL. Once the vascular access is created, patients must maintain their new lifeline through thorough self care actions and also by restricting their activities affecting the patient’s QoL. Further studies are required to help clarify the association between vascular access and the patient’s QoL.
Management and marketing of private basketball clubs for children and juniors
Authors: Grădinaru Silvia
Published: May 2015

Basketball is in the top of favourite sports. The appearance of private sport clubs on the sports market is caused by the increasingly precarious conditions in state institutions and, at the same time, by the influence of the European Community. We aim at identifying a pattern of activity meant to attract and educated children in the field of basketball through private basketball clubs by making parents aware of the beneficial effects of basketball and of being a member of a sports team. The survey was carried out in 12 private basketball clubs that carry out activities in a consequent manner (in number and in value). Private basketball club managers responded to the questions in our questionnaire showing willingness to cooperate; results show that all private basketball clubs are non-profit organisations and are involved in the competitions organised by the Romanian Federation of Basketball. Private basketball clubs represent half of the affiliated basketball clubs and dominate the competitions reserved to the different age categories, which denotes the efficiency of their activities.
Injury frequency and body composition of elite Romanian rugby players
Authors: Almăjan-Guţă Bogdan , Rusu Alexandra-Mihaela , Nagel Adrian , Avram Claudiu
Published: May 2015

Background: The physical exertion in the game of rugby is intense and depends on the playing position. This study hypothesized that peculiarities of body composition are important and should be properly interpreted in order to improve fitness and particularly in order to reduce the risk of injuries. Purpose: The aim of the present paper is to highlight the importance of body composition evaluation and to underline the usefulness of the data thus obtained for both training individualization and sports injuries risk reduction. Material and Methods: Thirty seven senior male rugby players from the former Romanian national team were assessed on body composition using a segmental multi-frequency bio-impedance analyzer InBody 720 (The Body Composition Analyzer – South Korea). We compared the results from both the preseason and the regular season 2012 with the international norms for elite players and we categorized the data by playing positions. Results: We have analyzed the amount of lean mass on each limb (kg), body water content (l), percentage of body fat, bone mineral and protein content (kg). We observed that the number of injuries is directly correlated to high levels of body fat percentage, low lean mass, and edema scores. Conclusions: The risk of injury can be identified among elite rugby players not only by using fitness tests, but also by using a simple and objective test of body composition. These results show how important it is to monitor the level of body fat, lean muscle mass and muscular development in order to modify nutrition and food habits, individualize trainings and thus reduce the number of injuries.
Educating the sense of rhythm in primary education students
Authors: Grădinaru Silvia
Published: May 2015

Background: Rhythm as a core element of complex coordination is the key to efficient moulding of motor skills specific to sports activities in curricula. Practicing physical exercise in a varied rhythm and tempo in primary school students moulds the skill of achieving correct movement basics (direction, span, coordination, and expressivity). The use of music in sports classes improves kinetics and vestibular sensitivity. The sense of rhythm and tempo are imperative criteria in vocational schools. Purpose: This paper aims to describe a pattern of means selected to develop the sense of rhythm and to allow movements in different sports branches with increased efficiency. Methods: The test battery was applied on a sample of 15 students from the 4th grade of the “Ion Vidu” National Arts College in Timisoara, Romania, aged 9-10 years, over an entire school year, using different rhythms and tempos during sports classes, which were later used in gymnastics, athletic events, and basketball. Results: Data recorded after the application tests, processed and interpreted confirms the proposed assumption and validates the motor contents used. Conclusions: Sense of rhythm is a component of coordinative capacity that is required to be educated from an early age. Rhythmic movements are easier to automate saving energy and motivating students to an active and conscious participation.
Masters swimming competitions – A study on applying a registration fee
Authors: Răsădean Marcel
Published: May 2015

At the conceptual level, masters swimming is systematically practiced in an organized environment, by adults as amateurs. According to the level of personal motivation, practicing swimming by adults can be conducted as: a recreational activity (leisure swimming); an activity for maintaining physical capacity (fitness); a therapeutic activity; a socializing activity; an initiation activity for adults; a competitive activity. The competitive activity values the sportive dimension of masters swimming. At a worldwide level, there are many masters swimming competitions, and the vast majority of them are organized by the masters swimming clubs. Taking into account that the financing of masters swimming events is mainly based on income from the participation fees, the choice of the participation fee is an important factor in the financial success of such an event. The purpose of this study is to analyse the financial impact determined by applying the two most common types of participation fees both on the organizing club and on the participants themselves. Furthermore, we aim to find a way of taxing participation so that one may take part in as many competitions as possible, but also to ensure the budgetary balance of the event.
Comparative study on the number of pupils registered as sportsmen in the middle schools from Iasi and at a national level
Authors: Chirazi Marin
Published: May 2015

Practicing sports at the age of puberty is important for the development of a harmonious body, as well as for the acquisition of the habit of practicing a sport activity by the teenagers to be during their spare time. This study relies on two data categories: the ones presented by the Romanian Federation of School and University Sports and the results of a vaster project developed by the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport from Iasi in partnership with the School Inspectorate of Iasi County. The research identified the percentage of middle school pupils who have the status of registered sportsmen by carrying out a sociological survey at all the middle schools (36) from the Iasi city. The study monitored a number of 8911 pupils and the statistical processing of the data showed that 4.3% of them are registered at various school sports clubs or private clubs. These values have been compared with the data provided by the Romanian Federation of School and University Sports and we have reached the conclusion that the number of pupils who practice sports is highly heterogeneous.
The effect of cold shock on the immune response of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella after infection with entomopathogenic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis / Wpływ szoku zimna na odpowiedź immunologiczną barciaka większego Galleria mellonella po zakażeniu bakterią entomopatogenną Bacillus thuringiensis

Published: May 2015

Insect immune system consists of only innate mechanisms relied on cellular and humoral branches. Many defence proteins and peptides exist or appear in response to infection in insect’s hemolymph. The interaction between the infected host and the entomopathogen occurs in the conditions of external environment. In this work the greater wax moth larvae of Galleria mellonella were subjected to a temperature of 120C for a short period of time, directly before infection with entomopathogenic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis. It appeared that the induction of the immune response was higher in cold-shocked animals than in larvae permanently reared at the optimal temperature of 28 0C. This enhanced immune response was manifested as higher antibacterial and lysozyme-type activity detected in full hemolymph, and as a higher level of peptides of molecular weight below 10 kDa having antibacterial activity. Moreover, other changes in the contents of proteins in the hemolymph were observed. These changes concerned inter alia apolipophorin III, the multifunctional protein of immune significance. Its level was higher in the hemolymph of animals pre-exposed to cold shock than in nonshocked, infected ones. Altogether our results indicate that the interdependence mechanisms occur between cold shock and the immune response.
Investigation of some morphological traits in studied lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) genotypes grown with foliar application of nanosized ferric oxide / Badania nad niektórymi cechami morfologicznymi wybranych genotypów soczewicy (Lens culinaris Medik.) hodowanych w obecności nanocząstek tlenku żelaza
Authors: Sabaghnia Naser
Published: May 2015

Interest in growing lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is increasing due to its potential returns relative to other legume crops in semi-arid areas. An experiment was conducted to examine the important traits on lentil under application of nano-fertilizer by using eight genotypes with application of the biplot technique in visualizing research data. Nano-iron oxide (2 g L-1) was utilized as foliar spray during vegetative and reproductive stages. The study revealed that genotype by trait (GT) biplot can graphically display the interrelationships among traits and facilitate visual comparison of genotypes. The first two principal components (PC1 and PC2) accounted for 76% of the total variation. The polygon view of GT biplot suggested four sections for the lentil genotypes as well as traits. The vertex genotypes G1 had plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, 100-grains weight and grain yield traits. The most prominent relation were: a strong positive association among biological yield, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, grains yield and plant height as indicated by the small obtuse angles between their vectors. The traits’ relationship in the semi-arid was highly variable, and grain yield improvement can be achieved by selecting for number of pods per plant, 100-grains weight. We suggest that the GT biplot be used jointly to better understand and more fully explore interaction pattern data.

Innovation And Economic Growth: The Case Of Slovakia
Authors: Braha Kushtrim , Qineti Artan , Serenčéš Roman
Published: May 2015

The role of innovation in the economic growth is becoming a crucial aspect of the future economic development. Building of the innovative-driven economy requires establishment of supportive macroeconomic environment. It involves interplay among three main factors of innovation: education system, entrepreneurship and governmental institutions. Establishment of the integrated national innovation system is a key priority that assures sustainable economic growth. Slovakia is mobilizing its resources in order to shift its economic growth from efficiency-driven to innovation-driven economic growth. The inflow of the foreign investments and attractive entrepreneurial environment are identified as the main resources of economic growth during the observed period. Additional input in accelerating economic growth brought the accession of the country into the EU. On the other hand, R & D activities remain weakly supported by the public and private funding. As the result, productivity of the Slovak innovators remains low as well. Over the last decade, only 70 patents annually were granted to the Slovak innovators. Despite the significant improvement of the innovative environment, there is a low share of enterprises applying innovation in their business activities.

Recibido 27 de julio de 2014 • Corregido 11 de marzo de 2015 • Aceptado 27 de abril de 2015La investigación que presentamos es un diagnóstico que se genera a partir del análisis documental realizado a informes extendidos por el consejo de la cultura respecto de los resultados obtenidos con la puesta en marcha del programa Acciona; el cual se impulsa en todo el territorio chileno con el objetivo del mejoramiento de la calidad de la educación a través del desarrollo de la creatividad, la formación cultural y artística, y el desarrollo de capacidades socio-afectivas estudiantiles. Los criterios de análisis son: consistencia, cobertura, temporalidad. Como resultados principales del diagnóstico observamos que los programas e iniciativas gubernamentales para mejorar la calidad de la educación no toman en cuenta la pertinencia. Se infiere que la evaluación es superficial y general. Los hallazgos indican que una educación creativa debe comenzar por la formación docente e implementar programas donde se evalúe de forma procesual el avance en todos los niveles impartidos con un objetivo común, el desarrollo humano en toda su expresión creativa. Asimismo sostenemos que las políticas educativas deben cambiar el enfoque tecnológico por un enfoque crítico-práctico para incorporar programas curriculares como Acciona.

Recibido 18 de octubre de 2013 • Corregido 5 de marzo de 2015 • Aceptado 27 de abril de 2015El análisis de las diversas evaluaciones que se gestan en el aula es fundamental para poder reinterpretar el quehacer educativo y el logro de los aprendizajes, partiendo de la necesidad que tiene la academia de ofrecer a la población adolescente alternativas de medición de los contenidos menos conductistas y más motivantes, por ello el objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar el tipo de relación que existe entre la forma en que se enseña y la forma en que se evalúa, con el nivel de logro de los aprendizajes de los conceptos de biología en el aula. Para ello, se desarrolló una investigación etnográfica mediante un estudio de caso, cuyas técnicas de recolección de datos fueron: observaciones, entrevistas y un grupo focal. Entre las conclusiones se corroboró que la evaluación se enmarcaba dentro de la propuesta sumativa del MEP, pero la profesora siempre aplicaba una evaluación integral, que incluía distintas formas de verificación del contenido, y la puesta de las distintas habilidades por parte del estudiantado. Ella contemplaba todas las estrategias didácticas empleadas, lo que generaba motivación y concentración para cada una de las actividades. De esta manera, las estrategias y técnicas didácticas iban de la mano con la evaluación de los aprendizajes.
Educar en la justicia social por ella y para esta: Una lucha ineludiblemente ética

Recibido 23 de febrero de 2015 • Corregido 17 de abril de 2015 • Aceptado 27 de abril de 2015Inexcusablemente nos encontramos ante un mundo colonizado por las economías globales e intereses del mercado. Esto nos lleva a pensar en la necesidad urgente de retomar el papel histórico y social de la educación, volviendo nuestra mirada al pasado, valorando el presente y avizorando el futuro. Incuestionablemente, hoy necesitamos inteligencia cognitiva y epistemológica, y ante todo, de inteligencia del espíritu, voluntad para luchar de manera inclaudicable, para cumplir con el ideal y principio de la esencia educativa: la justicia social entendida como derrotero que nos inspira desde una mirada profunda y generosa, lo que implica estimar la variabilidad y diversidad de un mundo cuyo entramado de relaciones y vinculaciones lo hacen sumamente complejo de comprender y abordar. Para lo cual se requiere solo de una mirada profunda y críticamente rigurosa, sino de un fundamento ontológico y axiológico, que nos impulse a gestar transformaciones desde una ética de la alteridad, impulsando que nuestras reflexiones y ante todo actuaciones permitan el entendimiento necesario para confrontar, con valentía e inteligencia genuina: esa que nace del conocimiento, del saber y del ser, a partir del hacer y del convivir. Una visión que compromete y que advierte que ningún proceso educativo es neutral y, por tanto, pasa por el tamiz de las interpretaciones y subjetividades que se construyen en los entornos educativos; y que la lógica del mercado enmascara los múltiples entornos y realidades en los que se encuentra péndulando la vida. De ahí se desprende que es nuestra responsabilidad ciudadana de una aldea planetaria con capacidad y conciencia, unir conocimientos, saberes y afectos, para redescubrir esa conciencia universal que hace posible educar en la justicia social, por ella y para esta. Ello incluye el poder dialogar desde la escritura a partir de la legitimidad que brinda nos solo un título universitario, sino desde el conocimiento compartido, desde la experiencia dentro y fuera de las aulas, desde la vida misma; la cual, al fin y al cabo, es el componente esencial de la educación.

En él se hace un análisis de esta disciplina y de cómo el discurso que emplea va modificando el espacio educativo hasta generar una nueva cultura virtual, en la que docentes y estudiantes se transforman en integrantes activos de ella y sus recursos. Como metodología de análisis se trabajó con el análisis mediato del discurso, propuesto por Scollon (2001), quien señaló el camino en lo pertinente a las prácticas discursivas que se llevaban a cabo en las cartografías virtuales multimodales y cómo estas afectaban lo inherente a la praxis educativa. Finalmente, luego de revisar y analizar estas prácticas sociales se obtuvieron algunas conclusiones de interés: la multimodalidad transforma el espacio educativo actual en interactivo, tanto docentes como estudiantes deben prepararse en la virtualidad y estar atentos a la cibercultura que se genera, y docentes y estudiantes se transforman en seres interrelacionales, al estar en contacto con otras intersubjetividades diversas con las cuales compartir saberes.

Treatment of Ankyloglossia for Reasons Other Than Breastfeeding: A Systematic Review
Authors: Chinnadurai Sivakumar , Francis David O. , Epstein Richard A. , Morad Anna , Kohanim Sahar , McPheeters Melissa
Published: May 2015

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Children with ankyloglossia, an abnormally short, thickened, or tight lingual frenulum, may have restricted tongue mobility and sequelae, such as speech and feeding difficulties and social concerns. We systematically reviewed literature on feeding, speech, and social outcomes of treatments for infants and children with ankyloglossia.

METHODS:

Medline, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Embase were searched. Two reviewers independently assessed studies against predetermined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Two investigators independently extracted data on study populations, interventions, and outcomes and assessed study quality.

RESULTS:

Two randomized controlled trials, 2 cohort studies, and 11 case series assessed the effects of frenotomy on feeding, speech, and social outcomes. Bottle feeding and social concerns, such as ability to use the tongue to eat ice cream and clean the mouth, improved more in treatment groups in comparative studies. Supplementary bottle feedings decreased over time in case series. Two cohort studies reported improvement in articulation and intelligibility with treatment. Other benefits were unclear. One randomized controlled trial reported improved articulation after Z-frenuloplasty compared with horizontal-to-vertical frenuloplasty. Numerous noncomparative studies reported speech benefits posttreatment; however, studies primarily discussed modalities, with outcomes including safety or feasibility, rather than speech. We included English-language studies, and few studies addressed longer-term speech, social, or feeding outcomes; nonsurgical approaches, such as complementary and alternative medicine; and outcomes beyond infancy, when speech or social concerns may arise.

CONCLUSIONS:

Data are currently insufficient for assessing the effects of frenotomy on nonbreastfeeding outcomes that may be associated with ankyloglossia.

Authors: Pashkov I.N.
Published: May 2015

Purpose: experimental substantiation of effectiveness of coordination training methodic of junior taekwondo athletes at stage of pre-basic training. Material: in the research 30 taekwondo athletes of 12-14 yrs age, who composed control and experimental groups, participated. Results: we determined means and methods of training of taekwondo athletes coordination abilities. Correlation of exercises for sense of space, muscular sense, sense of time took from 15 to 25% of total time of training. During 5 seconds’ work quantity of repetitions was from 8 to 12-15 times. Rest pauses between exercises were from 1 to 1-2 minutes. The offered methodic facilitated improvement of coordination fitness indicators of taekwondo athletes: keeping of static balance with open eyes - by 5.08 % and with closed eyes - by 5.63 %; Romberg’s test on left foot - by 11,4% and on tight - by 8.22%; response of choice - by 15.9%; high jump from the spot - by 11.39%; shuttle run - by 5.8%. Conclusions: in the process of perfection of taekwondo athletes coordination it is necessary to solve the following tasks: master more and more complex coordination structures of motor tasks; master quick re-switching of motor functioning, depending on change of situation; improve accuracy of required motor actions; develop stability of space orientation.

Purpose: This study examined the effect of a pre-exercise meal with different glycemic index (GI) on plasma IL-6 concentration and glucose metabolism during sub-max exercise (endurance performance run). Material : Ten men completed 1 h running at 70%-75% VO2max on a level treadmill on three occasions. In each trial, one of the three prescribed beverages as meal, i.e. high GI and low GL or placebo was consumed by the subjects 45 min before exercise. Blood samples were collected before, after, 1h and 24h after exercise. Result: Concentration of Plasma IL-6 in LGI group was less than HGI and Pla groups, IL-6 tended to significantly increase after exercise in groups (all P < 0.05), also there was significant difference for plasma IL-6 concentration between placebo and low glycemic groups in after exercise (P=.003) and 1hour after exercise (P=.005) . CK was significantly elevated at all- time points after exercise in 3 groups (all P < 0.05). Concentration of serum CK in LGI group was less than HGI and Pla groups but there not significantly. The consumption of the LGI beverage before exercise could minimize the increasing of plasma IL-6 concentration immediately after exercise and during the 1 h recovery period compared with the HGI beverage and Pla. Conclusion: This result suggested that the LGI beverage consumed as pre-exercise meal could modify the inflammatory response in prolonged exercise.
Inflation Expectations and Recovery from the Depression in 1933: Evidence from the Narrative Record
Authors: Jalil Andrew , Rua Gisela
Published: May 2015

This paper uses the historical narrative record to determine whether inflation expectations shifted during the second quarter of 1933, precisely as the recovery from the Great Depression took hold. First, by examining the historical news record and the forecasts of contemporary business analysts, we show that inflation expectations increased dramatically. Second, using an event-studies approach, we identify the impact on financial markets of the key events that shifted inflation expectations. Third, we gather new evidence—both quantitative and narrative—that indicates that the shift in inflation expectations played a causal role in stimulating the recovery.

Devido ao desaparecimento do sujeito homicida após o cumprimento da sentença, resta a interrogação sobre os efeitos que o dispositivo jurídico teve sobre suas vidas e o tipo de inclusão social. Partindo de um estudo sobre como se constitui o sujeito e como são criados os laços sociais e as formas de vida, além de abordar a responsabilidade. O que pode levar uma significação em relação à punição, é possível articular novos modos de resposta. Este estudo pretende identificar as formas de vínculo social e modos vida constituídos pelo homicida após o cumprimento da pena. O instrumento de coleta de dados constituiu-se de entrevista semiestruturada de orientação psicanalítica, gravada e transcrita, realizada somente com um sujeito atentando aos princípios éticos da pesquisa. A entrevista foi realizada na Clínica Escola de Psicologia. Os resultados apontam para o declínio da imagem paterna, o que trouxe consequências diversas, entre elas a desconstrução dos ideais que ajudam no temperamento da agressividade e da tensão próprias dos seres humanos, provocando uma vacilação na identificação do sujeito. Porém, o uso do trabalho, família e religião, como sistemas simbólicos oferecidos pela cultura, para se sustentar frente a esse real sem lei e se orientar na vida afastou do crime. O que contribuiu para que fosse segregado do convívio social após o cumprimento de sua pena. O judiciário vem sendo convocado a exercer a função simbólica do pai, por meio da aplicabilidade de penas, a fim de conter o prazer desenfreado que a contemporaneidade apresenta. Espera-se que o sistema judiciário zele ?por um pai? garantidor da consistência e da completude, tarefa impossível de se cumprir, e favoreça em ações que sujeito possa se arranjar na vida com outros enlaçamentos.

A dolgozat bemutatja a Debreceni Egyetem Herbáriumának (DE) egyik részgyűjteményét, a „Siroki Zoltán Herbáriumot”, annak MS Excel alapú adatbázisban rögzített adatai alapján. A gyűjtemény Európa szinte minden országából, főként Magyarországról és Szlovákiából (Kassa környékéről) származó, mintegy 20 000 példányt őriz. Közel 400 (többségében külföldi) gyűjtő gyarapította a herbáriumot, de a legtöbb példányt Siroki Zoltán gyűjtötte, főként Hajdú-Bihar, Pest és Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén megyékben. Java részét a múlt század derekán (az 1940-es és 1960-as évek között) szedte, de gyűjtő tevékenységét egészen az 1980-as évekig folytatta. Az egykori Magyar Királyi Állami Vetőmagvizsgáló Állomás gyűjteményéből is átvett jó néhány lapot, ezek száma néhány százra tehető. Az adatbázis attribútum-táblájának jelentős részét (a Magyarország mai területén gyűjtött, nem kultivált növények példányainak fő adataival) az 1. Elektronikus mellékletben szabad felhasználásra közreadjuk. Igény szerint a szerzők részletesebb adatokat is közölnek.

Published: May 2015

Egy mohaflorisztikai felmérés során, 2014-ben a Campylopus flexuosus új állományai kerültek elő a Nyugat-Mecsek humid, mészkerülő tölgyeseiben és bükköseiben. Az ország flórájára új fajt a Bakonyban elsőként Peter Erzberger és Németh Csaba mutatta ki 2013-ban. Az új, mecseki populációk feltárása során megbecsültük a C. flexuosus telepek kiterjedését, borítását, illetve listáztuk az állományokon belül előforduló moha és edényes növényfajokat. Munkánk során revideáltuk az MTM Növénytár (BP) Mohagyűjteményének D. flagellare anyagát. Ennek kapcsán bemutatjuk és ábrázoljuk a fajhoz makroszkopikusan igen hasonló Dicranum flagellare differenciális bélyegeit. Adataink alapján feltételezhető, hogy a C. flexuosus a mecseki humid, mészkerülő erdők egy új, terjedőben lévő mohafaja.
