Un tal Ernestico/a certain Ernestico: On the structure of proper names
Authors: Camacho José
Published: April 2019

Proper names are usually assumed to be definite. In this paper we question this assumption by analyzing the Spanish construction un tal ‘X’ ‘a certain ‘X’’. We show that ‘un tal ‘X’’ has two meanings, one evidential and one evaluative, and with the evidential meaning the determiner must be indefinite. In those conditions, ‘X’ is always a proper name. We argue that proper names usually involve a presuppositional, familiar referent, expressed through the definite determiner. However, evidentiality conflicts with familiarity, hence the definite is no longer possible. Finally, we argue that proper names are licensed by features from a hierarchy that applies either to the referential base, yielding person licensing, or to an evidential base, producing sequences such as un tal ‘X’.

The use of cover crops is an important strategy for soil management in the Brazilian Cerrado to improve no-tillage (NT) systems. For this, it is necessary know the potential of cover crop species for biomass production, nutrient cycling, and persistence of residues on the soil surface in soils and climatic conditions of this biome. Thus, the experiment was developed to evaluate the agronomic potential of cover crops cultivated on an Oxisol (Latossolo Amarelo) in the Cerrado of Piauí, Brazil. The experiment was conducted from January 2015 to July 2016. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with 11 treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of single and intercropped cover species. The evaluations were: dry mass production, nutritional composition of the plants, nutrient accumulation by dry mass produced and decomposition rate of the dry mass produced for each treatment. The higher dry matter production was obtained with Crotalaria juncea, Cajanus cajan (cv. IAC-Fava larga), Pennisetum glaucum and Brachiaria ruziziensis. The lower dry matter production was obtained with Mucuna aterrima, and mix of Crotalaria spectabilis + Pennisetum glaucum. The higher nutrients accumulation in the plants occurred for Cajanus cajan (cv. IAC-Fava larga), Crotalaria juncea and Crotalaria spectabilis. The cover plants studied presented good potential for soil conservation, due to the permanence of residues on the surface, except for Mucuna aterrima and Crotalaria spectabilis.

Authors: Sukut Füsun , Köycü Nagehan Desen
Published: April 2019

Fusarium culmorum is an important pathogen, that causes pre and post-emergence death in seedlings from both seed and soil-borne sources, in addition to causing root, crown root and wheat head infections on wheat. Treatment of seeds with fungicides is especially important to inhibit seed originated seedling infections when cultural methods are ineffective against the infection of the pathogen in root and crown root and the lack of completely resistant wheat cultivars against this pathogen. The efficiency of fungicides with prothioconazole + tebuconazole and triticonazole + pyraclostrobin active ingredients, licensed on Fusarium spp. in seeds, on seed originated seedling infections of F. culmorum is determined in vitro and in vivo conditions. Seeds of Flamura-85 bread wheat cultivar, naturally infected with F. culmorum S-14, were used in this study. The effect of treating seeds naturally infected with F. culmorum S-14 with fungicides on seed germination, root length, coleoptile length and disease severity was determined in the experiment in vitro. Germination rate of the seed was determined as 68% for triticonazole + pyraclostrobin and 43% for prothioconazole + tebuconazole, while disease severity was 42.70% and 61.30%, respectively. While both fungicides were determined to be effective on the disease severity, the effect of triticonazole + pyraclostrobin on disease severity was found to be higher than prothioconazole + tebuconazole. Because of the higher rate of effectiveness of triticonazole + pyraclostrobin to prevent seed-borne infections in vitro conditions, it was determined that the fungicide causes an increase in germination rate with wet and dry weight of the seed, while significantly decreasing the disease severity, in the tests to determine the effectiveness of the fungicide in vivo conditions.

Water stress in sweet corn plants due effect of climatic events, such as El Niño, is difficult to monitor, leading to considerable losses. Silicon (Si) as an exogenous resistance elicitor may reduce water stress effects. The relationship between sweet corn plant age and its development, under induced water stress and leaf potassium silicate applications were evaluated. This work was carried out with the hybrid Tropical Plus®, in a randomized factorial block design with 15, 30, 45 and 60 kPa as soil water tensions in plots and potassium silicate doses (0, 6, 12 and 24 L ha-1) in subplots. Stem diameter, plant height and leaf number per plant were evaluated at 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days after seeding. Root length was measured on the 90th day after seeding. Sweet corn plants submitted to water stress conditions and Si application showed an age-dependent response. Water stress did not decrease stem diameter, plant height and number of leaves per plant sprayed with Si. Root length was longer with 60 kPa soil water tension. Silicon reduced negative impacts of water stress on sweet corn plants.

The creation of triploid hybrids is an important genetic improvement strategy for the development of new commercial citrus scion varieties. The objective of this work was to quantify the frequency of triploids obtained from natural and controlled crosses of different mandarin varieties under varying environmental conditions in the state of Bahia. The experiments were conducted in the municipalities of Cruz das Almas (Recôncavo Baiano region) and Mucugê (Chapada Diamantina region). The first experiment was based on fruits from open pollinations of the varieties ‘Page’, ‘Ortanique’, ‘Ellendale’, ‘Clemenules’, ‘Swatow’, ‘Piemonte’, ‘Fortune’, ‘South Africa’, ‘Montenegrina’, ‘Kincy’, ‘Span Americana’, ‘Fremont, ‘Nova’, ‘Dancy’ and ‘Murcott’, and the second involved fruits from controlled crosses of female parents ‘Nova’, ‘Fortune’ and ‘Ortanique’ and male parents ‘Page’, ‘Montenegrina’, ‘Swatow’, ‘Fremont’ and ‘Kincy’. The seeds selected were inoculated in test tubes containing approximately 10 mL of Woody Plant Medium (WPM). When the plants reached circa 60 days of age, leaf samples were removed for quantification of the DNA by the flow cytometry technique. In Mucugê, three triploids were identified from open pollinations, ‘Clemenules’ (1) and ‘Ortanique’ (2), while in Cruz das Almas, no triploids were obtained. In the controlled crosses, triploids were only obtained in Mucugê: ‘Ortanique’ × ‘Montenegrina’ (4), ‘Ortanique’ × ‘Kincy’ (1) and ‘Ortanique’ × ‘Swatow’ (2). Based on the data, it is suggested that the environmental conditions of Mucugê favored the formation of triploids.

The biological nitrogen fixation constitutes a strategy to accelerate soil reclamation and the symbiotic systems Rhizobium-legume is the major N2-fixing in which the enzyme carboxymethyl cellulase plays a key role. As many rhizobia species are cellulase negative, the association with cellulolytic bacteria can be a strategy for the recovery of degraded ecosystems. It has been hypothesized that the sharing of resources should mostly be prevalent among phylogenetically and metabolically different species. Accordingly, twenty-seven actinobacteria isolates from Actinobacteria phyla and twenty-six rhizobia isolates from Proteobacteria phyla were selected from the bacterial collection of the Laboratory of Environmental Microbiology of the Federal University of Ceará. The presence of cellulolytic activity was observed for the rhizobia isolates at 28 °C and for actinobacteria isolates at 28, 39, 41, 43 and 45 °C. Rhizobia isolates deficient in cellulase and actinobacteria isolates with enzymatic activity detected at higher temperature were selected and characterized. The antagonism between isolates of two groups was tested and the pairs antagonistic were eliminated. The cross-feeding test between actinobacteria and rhizobia isolates was realized in a chemically defined medium containing carboxymethyl-cellulose as the only carbon and energy source. Growth of rhizobia strains in 50% of the pairwise indicated that the cellulose hydrolyzed by actinobacteria was used as substrate for the growth of the rhizobia. The Bradyrhizobium strain R10 associated with Streptomyces strains A09 and A18 and Nocardia A11 are promissory inoculants for recovery of semi-arid regions.

Published: April 2019

Peanut is susceptible to fungal contamination at all stages of its production chain, which can lead to aflatoxin production, which can cause serious health problems for consumers. In this sense, post-harvest ozonation of grains has the potential to reduce contaminant microorganisms, but it may cause oxidative damage, degrading organic constituents. Thus, factors influencing the reduction of fungal contamination by gaseous ozone in peanuts (grains and grains in pods) and changes in lipid and oil quality of grain were investigated. The analyzed variables were total fungi count, electrical conductivity, peroxide index, and 2-thiobarbituric acid test. Ozone concentration (10, 30, and 50 ppm) and ozonation time (30, 45, and 60 minutes) significantly affected fungal count (p < 0.05). The maximum fungal reductions were 75.79% for grains and 82.66% for grains in pods at a concentration of 50 ppm and exposure of 60 minutes. The electrical conductivity of exudates was affected by ozone concentration. There was degradation of lipids at a cellular level, but no differences were observed in the peroxide index of treated grains.

The crambe crop is an interesting option for the production of biodiesel, mainly due to the high oil content (35%) and the corn one of the most implanted crops in Brazil. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the allelopathic effect of crambe in the initial development of maize. The experiment was carried out in the laboratory of seed and plant evaluation (LASP) and laboratory of soil physics (LAFIS) of UNIOESTE-Cascavel. The seeds of corn with germination of 93.5% were submitted to four concentrations plus the control in the different parts of the crambe plant, where the growth and mass of corn were valued. The experimental design was completely randomized with 4 replicates per treatment. The statistical analysis consisted of analysis of variance and the means of the treatments were compared by the Tukey test at 5% of significance. The extract of the whole crambe plant stimulated aerial length, root length, fresh and dry mass of corn shoot. Root, stem and leaf extracts inhibited the initial development of maize in relation to growth and fresh and dry shoot mass.

Published: April 2019

Diabrotica speciosa is considered one of the most important agricultural pests in Latin America. Attacks various plant species including fructiferous, vegetable, cucurbit, dicotyledonous, and gramineous crops. The goal of this work was to evaluate the influence of different host plants, offered during the larval and adult stages of D. speciosa on their development, reproductive capacity, and foliar consumption. The insects were reared with corn in the larval stage and offered common bean, corn, soybean, forage turnip and wheat in the adult phase. In another essay, the larvae were reared with bean, soybean, forage turnip, corn, wheat, potato and adult stage offered only leaves of common beans to the insects. The insects reared with corn and fed on common bean leaves in the adult phase produced bigger numbers of eggs in contrast to the insects fed on other host plants. The longevity of adult specimens and the oviposition period were greater when adults of D. speciosa were fed on soybean, forage turnip, and common bean leaves, but these parameters were reduced in the insects fed on corn and wheat leaves. The viability of D. speciosa during the immature stage was greater when the larvae were fed with potato tubers or corn seedlings. However, the larvae reared on potato tubers exhibited a longer development period in contrast to larvae fed on other plants. In the foliar consumption tests, common bean leaves were preferred by adult of D. speciosa in contrast to other plants (soybean, corn and forage turnip) offered under free-choice conditions. On the other hand, in confinement conditions, common bean was preferred by insects when compared to turnip or corn leaves. The results showed that corn was the best food for the larval development of D. speciosa while common bean represented the most suitable host for the adults.

Lima bean stands out in the agricultural sector as a source of income for small and medium farmers, being an important protein source for the population. However, there few studies related to the adequate management of fertilization that subsidize the maximization of crop production. In this context, the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of macronutrient doses on the yield components and nutritional status of lima bean. The treatments were chosed based on the statistical arrangement of the Baconian method. Six nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur) were applied in three different doses along with two additional treatments, one with reference doses and the other with no addition of nutrients, totaling 20 treatments that were arranged in a completely randomized design with four replications. The pod length, pod number per plant, pod weight, number of grains per pod, number of grains per plant, grain weight per plant and macronutrient leaf contents were evaluated. The addition of macronutrients leads to increases in yield components and nutritional status of lima bean s when cultivated in Entisol Quartzipsamment. The doses of macronutrients that promote higher productive yield and adequately supply the nutritional needs of lima beans are: 25 mg N dm-3; 157 mg P2O5 dm-3; 90 mg K2O dm-3; 1.27 cmolc Ca dm-3; 0.50 cmolc Mg dm-3 and 30 mg S dm-3.

The search for alternative energy sources to reduce the use of diesel in the national energy matrix has been studied in a gradual way, with partial insertions of biodiesel to diesel. Parameters such as viscosity change when biodiesel is added to diesel, as this factor directly influences the atomization of the fuel. This paper aimed to evaluate the behavior of renewable biofuels in a 61 hp agricultural engine, by means of dynamometric tests, operating with mixtures of type A diesel S500 and biodiesel, including an analysis of pure diesel (0% biodiesel) and diesel blend with 20% biodiesel, heated with a system before the injection pump, at temperatures of 45 °C, 65 °C, and 85 °C. The highest values were maximum torque of 208.7 N m, maximum power of 55.3 KW, and specific consumption of 236.9 g KW h-1 at 45 °C. The viscosities of the mixtures were also determined using the 40 °C test temperature, as suggested by ASTM D 445, followed by the ANP, as well as temperatures studied, and the cSt values of the blends at 65 °C and 85 °C were below the minimum limit established by ANP.

High quality forest seedlings are essential for the implementation of a commercial forest system, and it is therefore necessary to study their development in different environments, seeking to identify the most favorable environment for their production. In view of the above, the purpose of this essay was to evaluate the production of quamwood seedlings in different environments and workbenches with reflective material. The study was conducted at the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul-Cassilândia-MS from August to November 2017, in a completely randomized design within each environment and the environments compared by the joint analysis of the data. At the opportunity, produced quamwood seedlings under shade levels of 0% (full sun), 30% under sombrite, 35% under thermo-reflective screen and the agricultural greenhouse with thermo-reflective screen under the film with 42/50% shading. In the interior of each environment the seedlings were placed on cultivation benches with reflective material (aluminum paper) and without reflective material. The environments were compared by the joint analysis, and the results of molt height and lap diameter were measured at 30, 55 and 72 days after transplanting. The experiment was completed at 72 days after transplanting and the destructive analysis of the seedlings was performed, subjecting them to drying in a forced ventilation oven until reaching a constant dry mass. Based on the results obtained, the total dry mass, height and diameter ratio, root dry mass ratio and dry mass root system, absolute growth rate and Dickson quality index were calculated. The protected environments were favorable to the formation of paricá seedlings. The environment in full sun formed small, but more rustic seedlings. The use of reflective material had a positive effect only in the plastic coverage environment with 42/50% shading screen.

The aim of this study was to select the most suitable model for leaf area estimation from papaya seedlings cv. ‘Golden THB’ using linear dimensions of leaves with unilobular and trilobular morphology. It was used leaves of 60 seedlings with 30 days after sowing produced in nursery of the Fazenda Santa Teresinha which belongs to company Caliman Agrícola S.A., in the municipality of Linhares, state of Espírito Santo, in March 2016. The measurement of the length (L) was performed along the midrib, the maximum width (W) of the leaf blade, the product of the length by the width (LW) and the observed leaf area (OLA). From these results, first degree and power linear regression models was adjusted. From the proposed regression models, the validation was performed with a leaves sample of 60 seedlings produced in June 2016, obtaining, thus, the estimated leaf area (ELA). The following criteria were used to choose the best model: the highest coefficient of determination (R2), the values do not significant of the comparison of means of OLA and ELA and values of MAE and RMSE closer to zero. The leaf area estimation from papaya seedlings cv. ‘Golden THB’ can be represented through equation ELA = -0.402619 + 0.612525(LW) for trilobular leaves and through equation ELA = 0.623355 + 0.610552(LW) for unilobular leaves.

Published: April 2019

The study was conducted in Meta District of Eastern Hararge Zone Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia with the objective to assess milk production and marketing, and to determine chemical composition and microbial quality of raw cow milk. Three Rural Kebeles (RK) namely, Biftu Ganama, Oda Chafe and Waligalte Bali’na were purposively selected based on dairy production potential and accessibility. A total of 132 respondents were randomly selected from farmers (122), consumers (6) and milk collection centers (4). Interview was made using semi-structured questionnaire to collect data on milk production, constraints, marketing, milk handling practices and utensils used as milk container. The result of the study indicated that, average daily milk production, milk for marketing and consumption were 1.96±0.517 litters/day/cow, 68.9% and 31.1%, respectively. Majority of the respondents ranked feed shortage as the first constraint. Hand milking after calf suckling was practiced by all the farmers. Most of the respondents (56.6%) used a gourd container locally called “qabe” for milking, and plastic jerry can (81.96%) for milk delivery to milk collection centers. Significantly higher (P < 0.05) figures were recorded for fat, protein, total solids, solids-not-fat and lactose contents at producers level than the consumers and collection centers. Total bacterial count (TBC), coliform count (CC) and yeast and mould count (YMC) of milk samples from milk collection centers were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than milk samples from consumers and producers and did not meet quality standards set by Quality Standard Authority of Ethiopia. Therefore, we can concluded that the chemical composition of milk was satisfactory compared to the standard level, whereas the microbial quality of the milk was poor that suggests the need for better sanitary practices of milking environment and milk utensils.

Depleted Uranium (dU) is usually used in the weapon to increase its destruction power inflected to the target. Therefore, this study was conducted to detrmine the effect of of a range of dU concentration in the soil an incident of the desrruction of military tank in southern part of Iraq on radioisotope content in soil and in tomato plant grown in the area. The dU concentration in the incident spots located in Safwan destrict close to Jabel Sanam, north of Rumala oil field was 4000 mg Kg-1 in the soil. The soil also was found to contain a considerable level of 234Th, 226Ra and 40K. Tomato growth was reduced with the increase of dU concentration compared to those grown in same soil of no dU content. It even has failed to grow in the soil with high level of dU. Tomato plant uptake of 238U as determined by radioactivity of its direct daughter 234Th was found to increase with the increase of dU concentration in soil. The dU concentration higher than 500 mg kg-1 soil was lethal to tomato plant.

SEGMENTATION AND ANALYSIS METHOD FOR TWO-PHASE CERAMIC (HfB2-B4C) BASED ON THE DETECTION OF VIRTUAL BOUNDARIES
Authors: Han Yuexing , Lai Chuanbin , Wang Bing , Hu Tianyi , Hu Dongli , Gu Hui
Published: April 2019

Microstructure of a material stores the genesis of the material and shows various properties of the material. To efficiently analyse the microstructure of a material, the segmentation of different phases or constituents is an important step. However, in general, due to the microstructure’s complexity, most of segmentation is manually done by human experts. It is challenging to automatically segment the material phases and the microstructure. In this work, we propose a method which combines the the dilation operator, GLCM (gray-level co-occurrence matrix), Hough transform and DBSCAN (density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise) for phases segmentation in the examples of certain material of eutectic HfB2-B4C ceramics. In the segmented regions, the further analysis for the microstructural elements is done with DBSCAN. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 95.75% segmentation accuracy for segmenting phases and 86.64% correct classification rate for the microstructure in the segmented phases. These experimental results show that our method is effective for the difficult task of the both segmentation and classification of the microstructural characteristics.
EIKONAL-BASED MODELS OF RANDOM TESSELLATIONS
Authors: Figliuzzi Bruno
Published: April 2019

In this article, we propose a novel, efficient method for computing a random tessellation from its vectorial representation at each voxel of a discretized domain. This method is based upon the resolution of the Eikonal equation and has a complexity in O(N log N), N being the number of voxels used to discretize the domain. By contrast, evaluating the implicit functions of the vectorial representation at each voxel location has a complexity of O(N²) in the general case. The method also enables us to consider the generation of tessellations with rough interfaces between cells by simulating the growth of the germs on a domain where the velocity varies locally. This aspect constitutes the main contribution of the article. A final contribution is the development of an algorithm for estimating the multi-scale tortuosity of the boundaries of the tessellation cells. The algorithm computes the tortuosity of the boundary at several scales by iteratively deforming the boundary until it becomes a straight line. Using this algorithm, we demonstrate that depending on the local velocity model, it is possible to control the roughness amplitude of the cells boundaries.

The aim of this work was to describe, interpret and highlight the impact of neuroanatomy in the region of the larynx on intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during thyroidectomy. A rich network of anastomoses of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) may have impact on the results of thyroidectomy and partial laryngectomy. Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a useful tool in the armamentarium of a head and neck surgeon but it will never replace profound knowledge of surgical anatomy and good surgical technique.

Introduction
Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common indication for emergency surgery and it occurs more often in children and young adults than in patients of advanced age. AA in older patients is a challenging surgical problem because of its atypical presentation. This study was performed to determine whether the age of a patient impacts the outcomes and whether laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is a feasible method for treatment of patients > 65 years.
Material and methods
We performed a retrospective study of 355 patients with AA who were admitted to the Department of General, Minimally Invasive and Elderly Surgery in Olsztyn from 2014 to 2017. The patients were divided into three age groups: 18 to 40, 41 to 65 and >65 years. The histopathological diagnoses were divided into three types: simple AA, phlegmonous AA, and gangrenous AA.
Results
LA was performed in 96 % of young adults and in 67% of older patients. The patients older than 65 years had a higher preoperative white blood cell count counts, higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and had a longer length of stay (LOS) than younger patients (p=0.05, p=0.03, and p=0.03, respectively). We found a positive correlation among the CRP levels, open appendectomy (OA), and gangrenous appendicitis.
Conclusions
Patients older than 65 years more frequently underwent OA than LA, had higher preoperative CRP levels and had a longer LOS than did younger patients. Higher CRP levels were associated with a greater risk of gangrenous appendicitis. LA is a safe and feasible treatment method for patients older than 65 years.
Triple negative breast cancer with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome - case report
Authors: Hodorowicz-Zaniewska Diana , Brzuszkiewicz Karolina , Szpor Joanna
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Endocrine and metabolic paraneoplastic syndromes in the course of malignant tumours result from ectopic production of hormones or hormone precursors in tumour cells. Production of hormones by endocrine tumours is relatively frequent, while such production by adenocarcinoma cells is definitely rare. The study presents a case of triple negative invasive breast cancer, with ectopic secretion of ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone), which provokes serious metabolic disorders.

Materials and methods: The patient was admitted to hospital with symptoms of Cushing`s syndrome. Diagnostic tests revealed that a cause of metabolic disorders was breast cancer. After proper preparation the patient was qualified for surgery.

Results: After mastectomy the patient’s metabolism stabilised. The patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotheraphy. 4 months after the last cycle of systemic treatment, cancer dissemination was found. The patient was treated with second-line chemotherapy, however control CT revealed progression. The patient died 20 months after surgery and two months after the last cycle of chemotherapy.

Conclusions: The case reported in this study – triple negative invasive breast cancer, responsible for ectopic production of ACTH and causing Cushing’s syndrome – is a rare phenomenon. Treatment of patients with breast cancer showing hormonal activity should not differ from general rules applied for breast cancer. However due to accompanying metabolic disturbances, the patients need individualised oncological approach, precise diagnostic tests and adequate preoperative preparation.

Zainteresowanie Polaków kwestiami europejskimi po 1989 r. zaskutkowało, tym, że problematyka integracji Polski z Unią Europejską stała się tematem dyskursu publicznego. Prowadzono go w kilku wymiarach czasowych; wymiar pierwszy obejmujący lata 1989 -2001 to czas dyskusji o sensie i potrzebie wejścia Polski do Unii, wymiar drugi – lata 2001-2003 to szczegółowe i merytoryczne debaty na temat warunków członkostwa Polski w UE, wymiar trzeci, sytuujący się w latach 2003-2008 to rozważania na temat praktycznego wymiaru polskiego członkostwa i przyszłości instytucjonalnej UE. dla pełnego zobrazowania różnic w podejściu partii politycznych w Polsce wobec przyszłości Unii, niezbędne jest wskazanie na zróżnicowane stanowiska partii wobec problematyki unijnej po 1989 r.
The Individual Security of Polish Police Officers in the Context of the Usage of a Stun Gun as a Means of Physical Coercion. A Study Report
Authors: Nowak Marcin
Published: April 2019

The increasing brutalisation of society results in Polish police officers becoming increasingly exposed to threats to their lives and health. In 2016, 311 assaults on police officers took place. A secure police officer equals a secure state and its citizens. This is why it is so important for Polish police forces to be in possession of proper means of physical coercion which ensure their safety while on duty. The Act on means of physical coercion and firearms of 5 June 2013 specifies the range of the means of physical coercion permissible for use by police officers. However, the most important of these are individual means with which a police officer is equipped. Research conducted among Polish police officers demonstrates which individual means of physical coercion available to them are used most frequently for the purpose of ensuring safety on duty. Undoubtedly, the key measure is the object designated by the said law to incapacitate people using electricity, colloquially referred to as an electric stun gun, a stunner or a taser. This measure of direct coercion, present in the equipment of the Polish Police since 2007, is gaining in importance, as evidenced by the conducted research and the data on the use of electric stunner by police officers.

Nečinnost a nezákonný zásah ve veřejné správě – rozdílné kategorie, či nikoliv?
Authors: Halml František
Published: April 2019

Podstatu veřejné správy představuje správa jako aktivní konání správních orgánů. Opakem činnosti veřejné správy je nečinnost, která je nežádoucím jevem ve veřejné správě. Další kategorii nežádoucího jednání veřejné správy představují nezákonné zásahy. Ochranu subjektivních práv veřejné povahy ve zkoumané oblasti poskytuje žaloba proti nečinnosti a zásahová žaloba. Nečinnost a nezákonný zásah ve veřejné správě vykazují mnoho společných znaků, což potvrdila zejména judikatura Nejvyššího správního soudu. Objevují se názory o vhodnosti sloučení uvedených žalobních typů s tím, že by nadále byla jakákoliv nečinnost pokládána za nezákonný zásah. Cílem článku je zhodnocení odůvodněnosti samostatné existence uvedených žalobních typů kvůli jejich velmi podobným rysům.
Species groups in the genus Cubitermes (Isoptera: Termitidae) defined on the basis of enteric valve morphology
Authors: Josens Guy , Deligne Jean
Published: April 2019

Seventy-four species, forms and varieties of Cubitermes Wasmann, 1906 have been studied, including taxa placed in synonymy with other species. Within this group of taxa, the enteric valve, mainly of the workers and soldiers, provided the best and the only clear-cut criteria for distinguishing some major subsets that are proposed here as species groups.The genus Cubitermes is re-described; the morphologies of the enteric valves are described in detail including the number of spatulae at the downstream end of the primary cushions; the possible presence of crests or bulges near the downstream end of the primary cushions; the overall shape of the primary cushions; the number of lateral supporting bristles; the kind of symmetry of the valve; and the structure of the secondary cushions. These characteristics are used to define nine species groups. For now, these groups have no taxonomic ranking but are helpful as regards species recognition. Identification keys for species groups are provided for soldiers and workers together with a partial key for imagines. Geographical ranges of the groups are also provided. On the basis of enteric valve morphology, some synonymies can no longer be validated: (a) C. planifrons Sjöstedt, 1924 is not a synonym of C. fungifaber (Sjöstedt, 1896); (b) C. kemneri Emerson, 1928 is not a synonym of C. zenkeri (Desneux, 1904); and (c) C. fungifaber var. elongata Sjöstedt, 1924 does not belong to the species C. fungifaber. Cubitermes planifrons and C. kemneri become valid again and C. fungifaber var. elongata is an invalid name.

Овај рад се бави улогом експлицитних граматичких објашњења унастави превођења и њиховим утицајем на усвајање граматике енглеског језика.Експлицитно или декларативно знање се дефинише као знање студента у вези сасинтаксичким, морфолошким, лексичким, прагматичким и фонолошкимкарактеристикама страног језика којег учи. Експлицитно учење језика се обично јавља усвјесним напорима разумијевања значења. Имплицитно учење језика дешава се за вријемефлуентног разумијевања и комуникације.Уколико се граматика предаје експлицитно, може ли она онда да постане аутоматска ида се језик разумије и произведе без константног прибјегавања правилима која ипроизводе експлицитно знање на првом мјесту. Супротно томе, може ли се размишљатио језику који се усваја имплицитно онда када то од њега захтијева одређена ситуацијаили задатак?Циљ рада је испитати да ли експлицитна настава граматике и активна интеракција санаставником утичу на усвајање граматике енглеског језика у настави превођења науниверзитетском нивоу.
