This article discusses how credibility is manifested through three representations of David Bowie’s time in Berlin during the late seventies. These representations are two guided tours and one exhibition. The first tour visited Hansa-Studio where Bowie recorded and produced some of his most famous records. The second was a walking tour to Bowies Berlin. To this is added a touring exhibition, David Bowie is, curated by Victoria and Albert in London and shown in Berlin during 2014. The analytic starting-point for the interpretations of the representations is a model consisting of three concepts; fragments, affective alliances and retrologies. The article shows how the three settings nurture different kinds of credibility. The visit to the Hansa studio weighs heavily on a technician who accomplished the tour. He had worked with David Bowie in the studio during the seventies and shared his memories and recollections from the time. The walking tour was more of a general tourist tour, catering for the Bowie fan. It showed places important in Bowie’s career emphasizing the relation between Bowie and Berlin. Here credibility lies in the guide’s expertise on the city and his detailed knowledge on Bowie. The exhibition was made in relation to The David Bowie Archive. This was a starting point for credibility, underlined by the museums aesthetic praxis’s. The different way that credibility was performed could be summed up as differences in relating to David Bowie. The two tried in different ways to mark their relations to Bowie, while the exhibition tried to distance themselves from the artist.

In the exercise of his/her profession, a teacher not only communicates with pupils in the field of education, but also participates in their upbringing and the formation of attitudes. It is often difficult for a novice secondary school teacher to know how he or she will communicate with pupils in the event of problematic situations. It does not have to be only communication at break time. In their paper, the authors stress the necessity of a teacher education graduate's readiness to communicate with pupils. The role-playing method seems to be a very effective method for student teachers. The text of the paper gives a concrete example for teaching educational and communication skills to future teachers with the applied role-playing method. The authors focus on the problem of possible indiscipline of students during the teaching of a selected subject at a secondary vocational school, at the same time offering variants of solving the problem situation.

The work deals with the current issues of stressors in the work of secondary school teachers. The authors focus primary on the personality of the teachers, who have to manage various critical situations every day at the level of communication with superiors and mutual interaction with students, students’ parents, increased demands on their professional competences, pedagogical skills, which can lead to subsequent exhaustion in physical and mental spheres. We pay due attention to the dynamic phenomenon of resilience and its important position in the professional life of a teacher. We present the results of the work, the aim of which was, according to certain criteria, to determine and compare the level of resilience of secondary school teachers in relation to various stressors. To verify the chosen goal, we used a questionnaire focused on individual manifestations of general susceptibility to stress and burnout syndrome, which we supplemented with demographic items determining age, genger, length of teaching experience.

Financial literacy is nowadays an increasingly discussed topic, and the general endeavour is to improve knowledge and skills in this area. Presented paper deals with the issue of financial education and financial literacy in Slovakia in the context of international comparison within the framework of PISA testing in this area and realized questionnaire survey. The primary aim of the paper is to analyze and point out the current state and level of financial education and financial literacy in Slovakia. The future of financial literacy teaching in schools and its position in comparison with other subjects considered compulsory as mathematics and Slovak language is questionable. These subjects are in the form of subjects whose teaching will provide pupils with basic literacy, i.e., to be able to read, write and count. In the future, the position of financial literacy teaching should become equal and as important as the above-mentioned subjects of mathematics and Slovak language. This is the future employment of a graduate school in work but also in personal life, which will be limited by the obtained financial literacy.

The submitted contribution deals with the current status of teachers in primary schools, their competences and personal qualities. Too high social expectations apply to the teaching profession, they should also be experts in their subject area, they must be able to adapt their teaching to all pupils, their parents, school management and reform policy. The submitted proposal for reform changes does not meet the expectations of the teaching public and a clearly communicated reform element is absent. After all, the teacher is the one who creates opportunities for learning and supports the independent learning of students. Will this be the case even after the implementation of the currently ongoing school reform? In addition, education reform is happening without listening to teachers' demands. In the article, we also deal with how teachers in elementary schools perceive themselves, what duties they have to deal with constantly and which roles they often replace.
User-centred planning for rail vehicles to increase efficiency
Authors: Rueger Bernhard
Published: January 2024

In order to increase efficiency in terms of revenue on the railways, the path often taken is to maximise the number of seats. This is expected to "sell" as many seats as possible and thus increase profits. However, 20 years of research prove that seat-maximising wagons are actually inefficient. The reason is that the needs of passengers and, above all, human behaviour in vehicles when getting on and off, moving around, finding a seat, stowing luggage and staying in the train cabin are not sufficiently taken into account. Today's design approaches from the industry assume that passengers behave in all phases of the rail journey as expected by the industry or the operators. In reality, however, passengers always behave in such a way that they find the most comfortable way for themselves. In practice, neglecting passenger requirements leads to high inefficiencies, as passengers do not behave as expected by the design approaches. For example, in long-distance trains, little consideration is given to the diverse requirements around luggage storage. As a result, luggage is often placed in the aisles, on or in front of seats or, in extreme cases, even in the middle of the boarding area. The consequences are, on the one hand, a decrease in actual seat occupancy and thus a reduction in capacity and a significant increase in dwell time. The consequence is high inefficiency, as longer dwell times mean delays and operational restrictions as well as a significantly higher energy demand due to the higher speeds required. Well-designed vehicles, which focus on people from the outset, not only increase customer satisfaction through better quality, but also significantly improve efficiency through increased punctuality and up to 30% lower energy consumption. In 20 years of research at the Vienna University of Technology, over 400.000 passengers in Europe in over 100 different types of vehicles have been observed and precisely recorded with regard to their behaviour when choosing seats and storing luggage. Likewise, more than 20.000 passengers were closely observed during passenger changeover with the help of video analyses. From this very extensive data set, a calculation algorithm was developed and also processed into a proprietary software, with the help of which rail vehicles can be optimised based on the actual behaviour of passengers and their requirements and thus be designed significantly more efficiently.

ПОЛИОРГАННЫЕ НАРУШЕНИЯ У ПАЦИЕНТОК С ПРЕЭКЛАМПСИЕЙ – НОВОЕ НАПРАВЛЕНИЕ ИНТЕНСИВНОЙ ТЕРАПИИ
Authors: Джоджуа Т.В. , Говоруха И.Т.
Published: January 2024

Актуальность. Основной особенностью синдрома полиорганных нарушений у пациенток с преэклампсией на фоне экстрагенитальной патологии является неудержимость процесса повреждения жизненно-важных органов от утраты их способности к поддержанию жизненных функций до структурных органных повреждений, что создает необходимость в формировании нового направления интенсивной терапии – профилактики прогрессирования полиорганных нарушений. Цель работы заключалась в улучшении результатов интенсивной терапии пациенток с преэклампсией наложившейся на хроническую гипертензию путем профилактики полиорганных нарушений на основании уточнения механизмов их формирования. Материал и методы. Наблюдали 88 (16,73%) пациенток с дисфункцией вегетативной нервной системы (ВСД) и 102 (19,39%) беременные, у которых ПЭ развилась на фоне гипертонической болезни (ГБ). В качестве базисного гипотензивного препарата использовался допегит - 2-4 г/сут. Наряду с этим применяли антагонисты кальция (нифедипин по 5-10 мг через рот, коринфар ретард по 20-40 мг/сут.). Для выявления мутаций (полиморфизмов) анализу подвергалась геномная ДНК, выделенная из лейкоцитов цельной крови с помощью реагента «ДНК-экспресс-кровь» производства НПФ «Литех» (Москва, Россия). Анализ полиморфных ДНК-локусов осуществляли методом полимеразной цепной реакции (ПЦР) синтеза ДНК с последующей электрофоретической детекцией. Результаты. Были установлены три генотипа: два гомозиготных, один по аллелю D, другой по аллелю I, и гетерозиготный по обоим аллелям D и I. Отличительными особенностями генетических характеристик беременных с ПЭ, является наименьшая концентрация генотипа I/I ACE (12,90%) в сравнении с женщинами контрольной группы (30,00%), этот генотип выступает протективным фактором развития ПЭ.

Breast cancer remains a significant health concern, with predictions indicating a rise in global incidence. While the
primary focus is on oncological radicality, the aesthetic and psychological impacts of surgical interventions, such as radical
mastectomy, cannot be ignored. This study, conducted over 8 years, aimed to identify factors that can prevent unnecessary
lymphadenectomy. The research analyzed various parameters, including age, BMI, tumor size, and immunohistochemistry, to
determine their correlation with axillary lymph node invasion. The results highlighted the importance of tumor size and estrogen
receptor status in predicting axillary lymph node metastasis. The study underscores the value of sentinel lymph node biopsy in
early breast cancer treatment, emphasizing its benefits over complete axillary lymph node dissection.

This paper focuses on the role of diffusion-weighted MRI of ovarian tumors as a potential biomarker to detect and
characterize malignancy, and to improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis and postoperative follow-up to optimize
therapeutic management. This is an original retrospective study of 76 patients with ovarian masses who underwent surgery
between May 2014 and March 2016 at the "Dr Carol Davila" Central Military University Gynaecology Department. Patients
underwent preoperative, 6-month, and 12-month postoperative evaluation of ovarian tumors using diffusion-weighted MRI. Due
to the accuracy of this method using specific sequences in tissue characterization, magnetic resonance imaging can be used in
the diagnostic work-up of complex adnexal masses.
Couvelaire Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review

Introduction. Couvelaire syndrome is a rare complication of pregnancy involving the placenta and the uterine wall. It is
caused by placental abruption, preeclampsia, or other disorders that compromise the blood supply to the placenta. Diagnosis is
typically made through history, clinical evaluation, and ultrasound. This study aims to report a grave case of Couvelaire syndrome
complemented by presenting a review of the relevant literature, to aid the meaning of a clinical path, as well as early and
adequate diagnosis and treatment of Couvelaire syndrome, to prevent feto-maternal consequences. The treatment of Couvelaire
syndrome depends on the severity of the condition and the well-being of both the mother and the fetus. If the condition is severe
and poses a risk to the mother or fetus, immediate delivery may be recommended, mainly with urgent Cesarean section in general
endotracheal anesthesia. If there is significant blood loss leading to a decrease in hemoglobin levels, blood transfusions may be
necessary to restore normal blood volume and oxygen-carrying capacity. Part of the general treatment plan should also be the
management of the underlying cause of placental abruption, for example, in cases of preeclampsia, medications are prescribed
to control blood pressure and prevent seizures.

Background: This research aimed to analyze the effect of experience and professional role on psychophysiological stress
response in underwater evacuation training. Methods: We analyzed 36 participants (39.06±9.01 years), divided into two different
groups; 17 crew members (38.6±7.2 years) and 19 medical members (39.5±10.5 years). modifications in the rating of perceived
exertion, subjective stress perception, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, cortical arousal, heart rate variability, spirometry,
isometric hand strength, and short-term memory before and after underwater evacuation training were analyzed. Results: The
maneuver produced a significant increase in SSP, RPE, IHS, FVC, and SatO2 at different moments of the intervention, being higher
in crew members. Conclusions: We found that the underwater evacuation training produced an anticipatory anxiety response,
and an increase in autonomous sympathetic nervous system modulation not affecting strength capacities, cortical arousal, and
memory independently of the aircraft role (medical or crew).

Authors:   “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy, Sibiu, MORARU Teodora-Ioana
Published: January 2024

The present study explores the role of intersectionality in defining the national security strategies of Romania and Poland through a constructivist
lens. The study utilizes document analysis to identify the degree to which intersectionality is incorporated into the national security approach. Although
both countries recognize the importance of intersectionality in national security, their strategies differ in terms of implementation and effectiveness. The study highlights the need for a more inclusive and diverse approach to national security, one that recognizes the complex nature of security threats.
Through this scientific article, the importance of critical understanding of national security is emphasized, one that transcends traditional state-centric
approaches and recognizes the role of non-state actors and transnational challenges in shaping security dynamics. The study can provide a valuable
insight for policymakers and practitioners seeking to promote inclusive and effective security policies and practices in a changing global landscape.

Published: January 2024

The construction sector is regulated at the national level to ensure a proper technical standard, as well as the coordination of spatial development at
the local and national level. Real estate investments funded from the public budget are carried out in accordance with regulations regarding the design
and execution of construction works, in addition to the clarifications from legislation regarding budget planning, public procurement, and the stages of
development and approval of technical and economic documentation. Real estate investments related to the defence infrastructure, which
also includes investments for the Ministry of National Defence, represent a particular situation due to the obligation to comply with both national
legislative frameworks and departmental regulations, ensuring both operational requirements and coordination of activities at the operational and tactical level. By analysing the regulations applicable to real estate investments of the Ministry of National Defence, the article briefly presents the stages of making the investments, the institutions involved and their responsibilities, as well as some assessments regarding the opportunity to develop a code and a regulation dedicated to military constructions, which could contribute to the efficiency of military operations, thus ensuring the effectiveness and safety of military personnel, as well as saving of resources.
