Victims of Parental Kidnappings in Light of Polish Criminal Law (Based on the Results of Case Law Research)
Authors: Dajnowicz-Piesiecka Diana
Published: April 2019

[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian]

This paper concerns the victims of parental abductions in Poland. The aim of the article is to present the victims of parental abductions in the light of the Polish criminal case law. The study has an empirical character because it presents the results of research carried out using a criminal case law analysis. The study included 59 criminal cases concerning the parental kidnapping of a child. The research revealed that the Polish law treats the person from whom the child was kidnapped as a victim of parental kidnapping. Interestingly, the child is not considered a victim. Based on the research, a conclusion was formulated that parental abductions are not only the result of disputes between the parents of a child, but that children can also be abducted from the care of other people, for example, the directors of orphanages or grandparents who look after the children. This article argues that parental abductions are not only a problem for families but also for institutions professionally involved in childcare.
The Memory of the Beginning: At the Source of Identity…
Authors: Petrykowski Piotr
Published: April 2019

[full article and abstract in Lithuanian; abstract in English]

This article discusses the relationship between the development of individual identity and the culture of social memory. The starting point of the analysis is the hermeneutics of biblical texts referencing the postulate to remember and commemorate specific events in the history of the people of Israel. Such remembrance, however, is not understood solely as a memory of the past, but instead becomes the point of reference for the present and the future. The results of the analysis of the biblical texts are then referenced to education in contemporary social and cultural settings. The author points out that breaking with the past causes confusion and disorientation with regard to the reference points in the future and ultimately affects the meaning of the present, which – deprived of perspective – acquires its own autotelic value. The lack of the culture of memory also results in reducing the past to an idyllic form, illusionary rather than authentic, thus becoming a mere object of longing. It also reduces the future to the merely incidental, uprooted from the past events and thoughtlessly independent of the human being.

Economic decisions on who to treat when resources are not enough for everyone. Evidence from a Spanish survey
Authors: Pinho Micaela , Pinto Borges Ana
Published: April 2019

Objective To analyze the attitudes of Spanish citizens towards the criteria that should be used as a guide to make decisions regarding the prioritization of patients, namely, medical, economic and person-based criteria.Methods An online self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 546 Spanish respondents. The questionnaire was made up of three questions. In the first two questions respondents faced a hypothetical rationing dilemma involving four patients (differentiated by personal characteristics and health conditions) where they were asked to: (i) choose only one patient to be treated and (ii) rank the patients’ assistance priority order. As for the third question, respondents were asked to state their level of agreement with 14 healthcare rationing criteria through a five-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis and multinomial regressions were used.Results Findings suggest that Spanish respondents support a plurality of views on the rationing principles on which healthcare microallocation decisions should be based. Despite the fact respondents support the idea that all patients should receive healthcare assistance equally, they also consider the age of the patient, as well as economic factors when establishing assistance priories among patients.Conclusions If it is not possible to provide health care assistance and treatments to all people, then age and economic factors should guide healthcare priority setting.

Authors: Afanas’ev Rafail , Voronchihinа Irina , Litvinskiy Vladimir
Published: April 2019

The article summarizes foreign and own research on the development of photometric methods for the diagnosis of nitrogen nutrition of plants. Previous own research has shown that ground and aerospace surveys can be successfully used to diagnose nitrogen nutrition of plants. However, despite significant advantages over traditional chemical diagnostics, both terrestrial and space indications of the availability of agricultural crops with nitrogen have certain limitations: terrestrial - by the scale of coverage, aerospace - by time parameters. At the same time, it was shown that the use of low-flying aircraft, in particular helicopters, is most suitable for photometric inspection of crops, although its application has a significant limitation - at the cost of diagnostic work In this regard, the most promising for the rapid diagnosis of nitrogen nutrition of plants is the use of unmanned aerial vehicles - UAV, equipped with appropriate photometric equipment. Testing the effectiveness of remote, using unmanned aerial vehicles, diagnosis of nitrogen nutrition test culture - winter wheat in the field experiment with increasing doses of nitrogen fertilizers showed a close dependence of the UAV instrument readings, namely the vegetative index (NDVI), with the supply of plants with nitrogen. Efficiency and technological simplicity, as well as the economic component of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for monitoring crops of crops, essentially open a new page in solving the problem of nitrogen nutrient nutrition in plants.

The study presents the results of defining some physico-chemical properties (viscosity and sliding friction coefficient) and four biochemical indices of oral fluid in 146 patients after installation of fixed dentures relying on intraosseous implants. On the basis of clinical examination, the prosthetic patients were divided in two clinical groups with different risk of poor or uncompleted adaptation to fixed dentures. Forty-eight peoples being practical health, made up a comparison group. As a result, we conclude, that the inclusion of used methods in the diagnostic complex to control osseointegration and adaptation of prosthetic patients allows more accurate predict the risk of late complications after dental implantation. These changes are in correlation with the classical signs of inflammatory processes in peri-implant tissues in the X-ray examination, including determination of bone density around implants.
To the Justification of Algorithms for the Climate Control Poultry House
Authors: Sklyar Aleksey , Postnova Margarita
Published: April 2019

The diversity of climatic zones in Russia has no analogues in the world. This fact testifies to the diversity of climate control in poultry farms located at different natural latitudes. Taking into account the fact that twenty-two regions in Russia have “comatose” climatic zones, and the decrease in temperature on the tributary to remove heat surpluses should be 3-4 0C lower, this imposes significant requirements on the microclimate system of poultry houses. On this basis, the algorithms of transition periods (spring-autumn) are proposed which are calculated
to remove excess moisture and technical means selected for winter and summer in the Russian Federation. Techniques of optimization algorithm for climate control in poultry houses introduced domestic and foreign companies in the poultry farms supplying micro-climatic equipment in Russia. The practice of rapid calculations of the microclimate on the” average “ indicators leads to overspending of energy costs, it is one of the reasons that the bird does not reveal the potential for productivity. We proved that the use of optimized microclimate control algorithms solves the problem of energy cost overruns and increases the productivity of poultry farms.

Authors: Sklyar Aleksey , Postnova Margarita
Published: April 2019

The urgency of solving the problem of heat losses on heating mains and сentral boiler houses in poultry houses is important, since the efforts of poultry farms are focused on improving the devices and heating systems in the poultry houses themselves. One of the directions of the solution of this problem is the use of exclusive qualities of infrared heating in the variant where its specific advantages of selective heating of a given object are revealed as much as possible, excluding intermediate heat carriers. Thus, the calculation of the relationship of dark infrУared heating systems in addition to traditional microclimatic systems in poultry farms from different regions of the Russian Federation has shown high efficiency in the operation of this design.

Published: April 2019

The paper attempts to use an indicator of the number of fleas of different species in the natural focus of the plague to assess the intensity of epizootics. The correlation between the number of fleas of seven species and the number of isolated strains of plague microbe is established. It is shown for small species to be more often involved in epizootics during their intensive course, which corresponded to the first period of the focus activity. In the second period characterized the tendency to decrease the share of small species in the epizootic process. The third period demonstrated a significant difference with the first two previous ones. The detection insamples of field material of infected secondary carriers of these species or random carriers was indirect evidence of intense epizootics.
Is There a Movement Towards the Acceptance of Mindfulness in Medical Education? An Audit of Mindfulness Activity in UK Medical Schools
Authors: Harrison Lucy
Published: April 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Within the UK, some medical schools have introduced secular mindfulness concepts to their students. However, knowledge of this development within academic medical institutions is largely anecdotal and not published. As such, this audit's objective was to assess the scope of 'Mindfulness Activities' (MA) across UK medical schools.In May 2018 a list of the current UK Medical Schools was retrieved from the Medical Schools Council website (MSC, 2018) and the Heads of Faculty of each of the 38 UK medical schools were contacted and invited to take part, by completing a short survey. MA were categorised into three types of activity; 'required', 'elective' and 'wellbeing'. 'Required' and 'elective' MA take place within curriculum time, whereas wellbeing MA was additional to the medical training. Based on this audit, nearly 80% (30/38) medical schools have some form of MA accessible to their students. This audit indicates that there is a relatively high level of MA within UK medical education. These findings, may indicate an acceptance of MT within the UK medical culture. More research is needed.
Accounting for Right Censoring in Interdependent Duration Analysis
Authors: Hays Jude C , Schilling Emily U , Boehmke Frederick J.
Published: April 2019

Duration data are often subject to various forms of censoring that require adaptations of the likelihood function to properly capture the data generating process, but existing spatial duration models do not yet account for these potential issues. Here we develop a method to estimate spatial duration models when the outcome suffers from right censoring, the most common form of censoring in this area. In order to address this issue, we adapt Wei and Tanner’s (1991) imputation algorithm for censored (nonspatial) regression data to models of spatially interdependent durations. The algorithm treats the unobserved duration outcomes as censored data and iterates between multiple imputation of the incomplete, i.e., right censored, values and estimation of the spatial duration model using these imputed values. We explore performance of estimators for Weibull and log-normal durations in the face of varying degrees of right censoring via Monte Carlo and provide empirical examples of its estimation by analyzing spatial dependence in states’ entry dates into World War I.

Authors: Hughes Carol Ann , Soderdahl Paul , Zimmerman Karen
Published: April 2019

The University of Iowa has several projects that are reshaping options for teaching staff and librarians as they work to build new types of academic resources. Two of these are Bailiwick and TWIST. Bailiwick is a web space where academic passions are realised in HTML and creative home pages. Bailliwick is home to Web sites that are experimental in form, like Border crossings, which provides comprehensive and in-depth resources, or that take on a narrow, highly specialised topic like French Feminists. In the Teaching with Innovative Style and Technology Project (TWIST), teaching staff are paired with librarians partners to create Web-based learning environments. These partners are called TWISTed Pairs. This semester 27 academic staff members from 13 departments are paired with 11 librarians from various departments, creating 35 course-related Web sites.
Use of Cognitive Strategies in Reading: A Descriptive Study on EFL Learners’ Metacognition
Authors: ÜSTÜNBAŞ Ümran
Published: April 2019

Regulation of cognition (Schraw & Dennison, 1994)
that involves planning and strategy use of individuals is one of the two
aspects of metacognition. Language programs are likely to promote learners’
cognitive skills such as thinking critically or use of strategies, thus, metacognition
is also involved in second language research (eg., Ellis, Denton & Bond,
2014; Zhang, 2001). One of the language skills in which strategies are commonly
used is reading, so various strategies are taught in language classes. Although
reading strategies are part of instruction in language teaching, it is still
unexplored how or to what extent learners use them especially in EFL setting
(Yayli, 2016). Thus, this paper presents a descriptive study that explores both
EFL learners’ strategy use and cognitive processes while reading. Participants
of the study were 30 students (15 high level learners and 15 low-level learners)
learning English at the language program of a state university in Turkey. The
participants were taught three global reading strategies in a five-week study
and their strategy use was examined through think-aloud protocols after
presenting them reading passages appropriate for their levels. Overall,
findings put forward that strategy use in reading was related to being a good
or bad reader rather than language proficiency and instruction was found to
play a role in these learners’ strategy use.

Allerjik Rinit Hastalarımızda Alerji Testleri
Authors: DİNÇER Zübeyde , ÖZKARS Mehmet
Published: April 2019

Giriş: Alerjik Rinit (AR) çeşitli
semptomlarla görülen (boğazda veya burunda kaşıntı ve hapşırma) mevsimsel ya da
yıl boyu olabilen, yaygın bir hastalıktır. Alerjik rinit tanısı ayrıntılı anamnez,
fizik muayene ve laboratuar testleriyle konulmaktadır. Laboratuarda alerji deri
testi, serum total IgE, serum spesifik IgE düzeyi, nazal salgıların incelenmesi
tanıya yardımcıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmamızda AR tanılı 52 hasta dosyaları taranarak kan
eozinofil sayıları ve yüzdeleri, alerji deri testi sonuçları ve serum alerji
spesifik IgE değerleri incelendi. Aynı yaş ve
cinsiyette kronik hastalığı olmayan sağlıklı 55 kontrol hastasının ise sadece
kan eozinofil sayıları ve yüzdeleri incelendi. Bulgular: AR tanılı 22 (%42,3) hastada
eozinofili bulundu. AR ve Kontrol Gruplarının kan eozinofil yüzdesi
değerlerinin karşılaştırılması sonucu (p=0.009) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
bulundu. AR tanılı hastalar kendi içinde kıyaslandığında 10 hastada serum alerjen spesifik IgE pozitifliği, 10 hastada alerjen
ile deri testinde pozitiflik bulundu. Alerji deri testi ve/veya serum spesifik
IgE pozitifliği birlikte değerlendirildiğinde 18 (%34,6) hastada pozitiflik
bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonucunda eozinofili varlığı AR tanısında alerji
testinden daha üstün bulunmuştur.

Licensure Portability Through an Ethical Lens: Considering Multiple Stakeholders
Authors: Bayne Hannah B. , Doyle Kevin
Published: April 2019

Counselors have been licensed to practice in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia since 2009, but licensure portability (the ability to transfer a license from one state to another) remains elusive, due in large part to variations in educational and training requirements between states. In this article, we extend the American Counseling Association and American Mental Health Counselors Association counseling codes of ethics beyond the counseling relationship to consider license portability along ethical dimensions at the macro level. We apply an ethical decision-making model to demonstrate how lack of portability may have ethical implications related to both counselors and clients. We submit several considerations for how the profession can conceptualize and address these issues through an ethical lens.

Published: April 2019

Background: The temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are changes that occur at the structures that compose the temporomandibular joint. Changes in the temporomandibular complex provoke adaptations throughout the muscular system, which generate postural alterations, modifying the body biomechanics and interfering with their body alignment. Objective: To verify the prevalence of TMD in university students, and to analyze the plantar pressures of subjects with and without TMD. Methods: This research was approved by the Ethics Committee with number: 2.407.595. The 68 students of physiotherapy and dentistry courses were evaluated through the “Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders” and through baropodometry. Plantar pressures of students were compared using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: 71% of the university students presented some type of TMD. Most subjects with TMD presented their pressure center located in the hindfoot contralateral to the disorder. Conclusion: There was no significant difference (p≥0.05) between the plantar pressures of the students with and without TMD.
Représentations de l’eau dans les essais yourcenariens
Authors: Lupan Anamaria
Published: April 2019

Adept of metamorphosis, Marguerite Yourcenar repeatedly uses in her essays the image of water, fluid elements related to the idea of transformation and rebirth; sea, ocean, artificial fountain – water takes various aspects and forms; from motif in the analyzed paintings to the biological functions it exercises, water crosses the yourcenarian essays. Established in the United States of America after the Second World War, did the writer study the ecology lesson testified by her texts about water? Or do these writings rather go beyond the concrete and circumstantial level of existence to talk about a global philosophy of life, as it seems to acknowledge the title of her trilogy: As the Water That Flows?
Comparison of serum homocysteine level among preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women: a case-control study in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Ananthathirtha Kavya , Raghuveer Pracheth
Published: April 2019

Background: It has been postulated that hyperhomocysteinemia may be associated with preeclampsia, as the vascular changes mediated by homocysteine are similar to the changes that occur in preeclampsia. In this context, the study was conducted to compare maternal serum levels of total homocysteine in preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women attending a tertiary care hospital in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.Methods: A prospective case-control study was carried out in the inpatient wards and the outpatient department (OPD) of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OBG) at a tertiary care hospital of Coimbatore, for one year from March 2015 to April 2016. Pregnant women with preeclampsia were considered as cases and women without any medical or other obstetric and fetal complications were selected as controls. A pre-designed and pre-tested proforma was used to collect the appropriate information. The assessments were conducted using standard procedures.Results: The study population comprised of 50 cases and equal number of controls. Around 28.0% of the cases had severe preeclampsia. The mean serum homocysteine values among cases was 13.87±4.01 µmol/L. The difference in the mean serum homocysteine level among cases and controls was statistically significant (p <0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the mean serum homocysteine levels among women with severe and mild preeclampsia (p=0.731).Conclusions: Maternal serum levels of total homocysteine were found to be significantly higher among preeclamptic women when compared to normotensive women. Thus, estimation of serum homocysteine levels among preeclamptic women may serve as a biomarker for identifying those at risk for complications.

Published: April 2019

Background: The kidney Tx is the treatment of choice for patients with ESRD. However, episodes of AR have a negative impact on short- and long-term graft survival. In spite of immunosuppressive medications, CNI, MMF and steroid, the AR remains a crucial problem for Tx. This analysis was performed to evaluate the changing profile of early AR (during first week of transplant) and its repercussions on graft survival.Methods: This study was an observational cohort study and included 50 renal transplant patients irrespective of age, sex and race who developed bx proven AR within first week of transplant. Three groups were made according to histopathology: ACR, AMR and mixed rejection group. The patients were followed for 6 months thereafter.Results: AR within a week of renal Tx were less symptomatic except decrease in UO. ACR was more common (72%) than AMR and mixed rejections. AMR and Mixed group required more therapeutic modalities than ACR. More patients required HD during AR in AMR and mixed rejection group than ACR. The mean s.cr at 6 months was 1.3,1.5 and 1.6 in ACR, AMR and mixed group respectively. There were more incidences of BK viremia, CMV infection UTI and rejection fronts follow up in AMR and mixed group than ACR group.Conclusions: Acute rejections within a week are less symptomatic and ACR occurred more frequently than AMR and mixed rejection There were more incidences of BKV, CMV and UTI for 6 months follow up in AMR and Mixed rejection group.

The electron backscatter diffraction method (EBSD) is widely used to studycrystallographic orientational relationships of the steel microstructure constituentsincluding bainite. Nevertheless the fine structure of bainite (subunits, plates) is notinvestigated by this method. In this paper we propose a technique for visualizing ofthe structure of a bainitic steel near-surface layer using the values of Euler anglesobtained by EBSD method. A three-dimensional picture of the bainite fine structure ofthe HY-TUF steel obtained by the proposed technique is in
