ABSTRACT                                                                                                              

 

PURPOSE

To compare the efficacy and safety of intralesional steroid injection versus surgical intervention (Incision and Curettage) in Primary Chalazion.

 

STUDY DESIGN

A six months prospective, comparative and interventional hospital based study.

PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY

Study was done at Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical College Lyari and Sindh Government Lyari General Hospital, Karachi. Duration of study was six months from 15th October, 2016 to 15th April, 2017.

 

MATERAILS AND METHODS

 

This was a Prospective, Comparative, Interventional study with the use of probability sampling technique. The Study was conducted at Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical College Lyari and Sindh Government Lyari General Hospital, Karachi for duration of six months from 15th October, 2016 to 15th April, 2017.

 

50 eyes of 50 patients between the age group of 15 to 40 years and of either gender diagnosed with chalazion on clinical basis from the Out patients department of Ophthalmology of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical College Lyari were included in the study. All patients were randomly divided into two groups with 25 patients in each group. Group 1 received intralesional 0.2 ml triamcinolone acetonide while Group 2 received surgical intervention (Incision and Curettage).

 

RESULTS

In a total of 50 patients the mean age was 25±12.2 with male to female ratio of 2:1. 19 (76%) patients achieved complete resolution of chalazion after intra lesional triamcinolone acetonide in group I and 21 (84%) patients out of 25 achieved complete resolution of chalazion after incision and curettage in group II. No ocular complication such as bleeding, elevation of intra ocular pressure, eye lid de-pigmentation or any loss of vision in either group was observed.

 

CONCLUSION

Intra lesional triamcinolone acetonide injection is equally effective as incision and curettage in primary chalazion. It means it is a good alternative first line treatment in cases where diagnosis is straight forward.

Authors: Azfer Ahmed Mirza Munawar Ahmed, Atif Mansoor Noman Ahmed, Ghazi Khan Mari
Published: January 2020

Purpose: To study the effect of cyclosporine on pterygium recurrence after primary excision Study Design: Non randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the department of Ophthalmology, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro from 2015 to 2017. Material and Methods: One hundred and thirty eyes of 65 patients having bilateral pterygium, at least 2 mm encroaching on the cornea, were selected for study. Dimensions of pterygium were measured on slit lamp. Half of the eyes were selected for post-operative cyclosporine and was named as cyclo- eye and fellow other eye was named as non-cyclo eye. Immediate post-operative treatment was tobramycin dexamethasone eye ointment twice and moxifloxacin eye drops three times daily until corneal epithelium was restored, followed by moxifloxacin and Cyclosporine eye drops twice daily until complete healing of ocular surface occurred and then cyclosporine 0.05% alone once daily in the evening up to three months. In the fellow eye tobramycin dexamethasone eye ointment and moxifloxacin eye drops were used for complete healing time followed by tears alone three times for three months. Follow up was done for six months. Results: Only Fifty-three patients who completed 6 months of follow-up were included in the results. In cyclo-eyes recurrent pterygium was observed only in 4 (07.55%) and in non-cyclo eyes recurrence was observed in 23 (43.40%) eyes. Mean healing time in cyclo-eyes was 21.1354 days and in non-cyclo-eyes, 15.0213 days. Conclusion: Cyclosporine is effective in reducing the recurrence rate of pterygium.

Purpose: To find the changes in tear film and ocular surface in patients with pterygium. Study Design: A descriptive cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Federal Government Services Hospital Islamabad during June 2013 to December 2014. Material and Methods: Dry eye questionnaire (DEQ-6) was administered by a trained researcher and DE tests were performed in all 256 willing subjects (136 with pterygium+120 control) age 30-76 years, by a single surgeon under same physical conditions after taking the consent and approval from Hospital Ethical committee. Diagnosis was made on presence of both symptoms and tear film parameters. Statistical analysis by simple percentages. Results: Dry eyes (DE) were found in 73 (53.7%) of the pterygium cases and 28 (23.5%) of the normal patients. In this study, 55 (40.5%) patients were symptomatic, defined as reporting 1 or more DE symptoms often or all the time. There were 53 (39%) patients that showed corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) and 69 (51%) showed plugging/mucous threads in both groups. Of 136 eyes with pterygium there were 91 (67%) males and 45 (33%) females. Out of these 50 (36.7%) patients showed normal tear film and 86 (63.2%) showed deranged functions. Moreover, among the 120 control eyes there were 73 (61%) males and 47 (39%)] females. Out of these 86 (72.3%) patients were normal and 34 (27.7%) had abnormal functions. These values were reduced indicating altered tear film in these patients. Conclusion: Pterygium disturbs tear functions causing dry eye like symptoms. Key Words: Dry eye, pterygium, tear film instability, ocular surface.

Published: January 2020

Purpose: To find the frequency and pathogenesis of post-operative aphakic glaucoma in children operated for congenital cataract at Mardan Medical Complex, Mardan, Pakistan. Study Design: Retrospective Cohort study. Place and Duration of Study: Mardan Medical Complex, Mardan between January 2001 and December 2014. Material and Methods: All cases were operated for congenital cataracts between the ages of 2 months to 30 months were included in the study. Babies having congenital cataracts with increased intraocular pressure (IOP), those showing signs of congenital glaucoma and those having congenital cataracts with specific syndromes were not included in the study. Results: We reviewed the records of 110 patients who had bilateral lens aspiration for congenital cataracts. We found 7 patients (12 eyes) who developed increased intra-ocular pressure (IOP) after bilateral lens matter aspiration for congenital cataracts. Four patients (three males one female), developed early onset pupil block glaucoma, (2 bilateral and 2 unilateral) while in 3 female patients the onset of glaucoma was delayed for several months to years and was of the open angle type in both the eyes. Poor compliance with follow up, poor pupillary dilatation, prolonged surgical time, severe inflammation and residual lens matter are some of the risk factors for early onset pupillary block aphakic glaucoma in pediatric age group. Conclusions: Pediatric aphakic glaucoma is a significant complication of congenital cataract surgery which requires continuous followup of the patients.

Use of Mitomycin C in Ocular Surgery; A Narrative Review
Authors: Mahar P. S.
Published: January 2020

Mitomycin C is an alkylating agent with an anti-proliferative activity. Because of its potent anti-fibroblastic effect, it is used in multiple ocular surgical procedures where inhibition of proliferation of fibroblasts and vascular ingrowths is required. It is dispensed in blue violet crystalline powder and it dissolves in water. MMC is stable for 2 weeks when refrigerated at 2 � 8 degrees centigrade after the powder is reconstituted for topical use. Because of its anti-fibroblastic activity, MMC is used in various ocular surgical procedures. The optimal dose of MMC is not known but is usually used in concentration of 0.1 mg/ml (0.01%) to 0.5 mg/ml (0.05%) in different clinical setups. Key Words: Mitomycin C, Fibroblasts, Ocular Surgery.
A Comparison of Spanish Second Language Acquisition in Two Different Learning Contexts: Study Abroad and the Domestic Classroom
Authors: Segalowitz Norman , Freed Barbara , Collentine Joe , Lafford Barbara , Lazar Nicole , Díaz-Campos Manuel
Published: January 2020

In this paper, we report the results of a study that compared differences in the linguistic gains made by native English-speaking students from the United States who were studying Spanish in one of two different contexts of learning. One was a regular university classroom situation in Colorado; the other was a study abroad program in Alicante, Spain. We examined the gains students made on a number of linguistic dimensions: oral proficiency, oral fluency, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and communication strategies. In addition, we investigated the relationships between these variables and a variety of background factors, including aspects of language learning readiness. As far as we know, this is the first study to examine such a comprehensive array of variables associated with linguistic performance as a function of context of learning. Each of the individual studies that contributed to the full report of this project can be found in a special issue of the journal Studies in Second Language Acquisition edited by Collentine and Freed (2004). When those studies are looked at as a whole, they lead to general interpretations that were not immediately apparent when considering each of the reports separately. In this paper, we review these results, discuss the larger picture that emerges, and speculate on future questions about the effects of the study abroad experience on second language acquisition (see also Freed, Segalowitz & Dewey, 2004, for a related study).

Does Study Abroad Grading Motivate Students?
Authors: Trooboff Stevan , Cressey William , Monty Susan
Published: January 2020

Our goal in conducting this research is twofold: to contribute to this discussion by exploring relationships of various sorts between grading and motivation, and to broaden the discussion of the central question under investigation. We believe that study abroad is about a good deal more than grades and academic achievement. To this end, we widened the scope of the investigation. We considered an assessment of motivation that includes an evaluation of the degree to which the student is engaged with the host community and is making an effort to derive maximum benefit from the intercultural dimensions of the program, even though these efforts are rarely related to grades received. Cultural integration and learning are a significant and unique part of the study abroad experience and we considered it important to explore student motivation in these regards, while also tracking the impact of grades related to transcript practices.
Large-Scale Assessment of Student Attitudes after a Short-Term Study Abroad Program
Authors: Chieffo Lisa , Griffiths Lesa
Published: January 2020

The team’s primary interest in conceiving this research project was to determine whether students taking courses abroad, regardless of the nature of their particular program, acquire “global awareness” to a greater extent than those who enroll in similar courses on campus and whether, at the end of the session, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups.  The project was also influenced by previous work done by the University of Georgia’s Office of International Education on study abroad outcomes assessment. (See www.usg.edu/oie/initiatives/ for details.)

Preparing Engaged Citizens: The Models of Experiential Education for Social Justice
Authors: Peterson Chip F.
Published: January 2020

To serve effectively, programs should engage in re-entry preparation. Students must be continually pushed to think of how their own lives relate to the conditions that they are studying. What does a commitment to justice and sustainability imply for their future roles as consumers, as citizens, as parents, as professionals? As members of a privileged class within an hegemonous world power, how does their own behavior contribute to, or challenge, systems of domination and oppression? In short, how will their learning through CGE, HECUA, or MSID affect the way they lead their lives?
African Studies Abroad: Meaning and Impact of America’s Burgeoning Export Industry
Authors: Coffman Jennifer E. , Brennan Kevin
Published: January 2020

American education operates as an export industry, as indicated by the proliferation of American study abroad programs in Africa and the influx of Africans seeking degrees from American universities. In this article, we have used statistics (from the Institute for International Education (IIE)’s Open Doors and NAFSA/SECUSSA) compiled to track this educational exchange and estimate economic investments made by students and their host institutions into the socio-geographical areas in which the programs take place. These statistics, coupled with the authors’ experiences in directing study abroad programs, suggest the urgency of adopting more equitable models of reciprocity. Commensurate with our desire to see more American students engaged in African studies at home and abroad, we further emphasize the need for a re-invigoration and deployment of the concept of “capacity building” to achieve such ideals. This entails examining the economics of exchanges, but also reconsidering the social and intellectual impacts of the ways in which study abroad programs are conceived and implemented.

Jean-Phillipe Mathy: Extrême-Occident: French Intellectuals and America. 1993. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. 307 pp.
Authors: Bayne Sheila
Published: January 2020

What is true of student travelers is true of any sojourner, and of anyone who comes in contact with a foreign culture. Jean-Philippe Mathy’s Extrême-Occident: French Intellectuals and America shows how the educated elite of France has used another country as a screen on which to project its ideas and ideals, as well as its phobias and prejudices. Although first published 10 years ago, this study is newly relevant. It is useful to be reminded of the long-standing background against which American actions are viewed by the French. More than an actual nation or national culture, “America” carries the weight of its meaning. America is idealized as an “incarnated idea” of freedom, prosperity, egalitarianism and pleasure, and it is vilified to the extent that it does not fulfill its own ideals or those projected on it.
Louis Menand: The Metaphysical Club: A Story of Ideas in America. 2001. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. 546 pp.
Authors: Kenney Lance
Published: January 2020

Louis Menand’s The Metaphysical Club, daunting in its choice of subject matter, closely aligns itself with the ancient sense of the word ‘history’ as a fluid, almost epic narrative. The Metaphysical Club of the title was a conversation group that met in Cambridge for a few months in 1872. Its membership roster listed some of the greatest intellectuals of the day: Charles Peirce, William James, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Chauncey Wright, amongst others. There is no record of the Club’s discussions or debates—in fact, the only direct reference to the Club is made by Peirce in a letter written thirty-five years later. Menand utilizes the Club as a jumping-off point for a sweeping analysis of the beliefs of the day. The subtitle of the book belies its true mission: ‘a story of ideas in America.’ Menand discusses the intellectual and social conditions that helped shape these men by the time they were members of the Club. He then shows the philosophical, political, and cultural impact that these men went on to have. In doing so, Menand traces a history of ideas in the United States from immediately prior to the Civil War to the beginning of the Cold War.

Lo que el viento se llevó: No participación local y conflicto sobre un ambiente de dunas
Authors: Besana Patricio Bruno , Fernández Bouzo Soledad , Monserrat Ana Laura
Published: January 2020

El presente trabajo propone a la Teoría del Actor Red (TAR), en particular a la perspectiva deMichel Callon (1986, 2001), como encuadre teórico metodológico para el análisis de conflictos ambientales desde unenfoque interprofesional que permite enriquecer el conocimiento de las ciencias sociales a partir de conocimientos provenientes de las ciencias naturales. Su objetivo es brindar una explicación posible sobre los factores que inciden en la falta de participación de actores locales en conflictos ambientales.En adición a la TAR, para ello se apela a un análisis desde la literatura latinoamericana de los conflictos ambientales (con énfasis en autores y obras como:Gudynas y Acosta, 2011; Svampa, 2012 y Gutiérrez e Isuani, 2014; entre otros). Se argumenta que las características del ambiente de dunas en cuestión inciden en la no participación de la población local. Para llevar a cabo el análisis se desarrollaron observaciones de flora y fauna, entrevistas semi-estructuradas a pobladores y autoridades de la zona, entrevistas a informantes clave, análisis de documentos públicos y notas periodísticas.
Modelo de planificación territorial sostenible de la minería: enfoque en América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Malavé Figueroa Adelso Nikolai , Ramírez-Sánchez Miguel Ysrrael , Anaya Hernández Armando
Published: January 2020

La investigación llevó por propósito estructurar un modelo para orientar a la planificación territorial, con base en la sostenibilidad, el quehacer en los espacios mineros, la gestión del riesgo de desastres en unión directa con la adaptación al cambio climático y la generación de resiliencia socio-ambiental en América Latina y el Caribe. Este fin se cimienta en los mandatos de todos los Objetivos para el Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), Agenda 2030 (Naciones Unidas, 2019), las premisas de la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas para la Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres (UNISDR, 2017), las guías del Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC, 2018) y, las recomendaciones del Consejo Internacional de Minería y Metales (ICMM, 2019). La propuesta presenta un diseño de campo no-experimental de corte transversal ajustado a un estudio de tipo proyectivo. Se aplicó un muestreo aleatorio simple con resultado de 67 ONG (N = 80). El diagnóstico fue derivado a través de una escala con consistencia interna (α = 0,95; p < 0,05). El Modelo Orientativo de la Planificación Territorial Sostenible de la Minería fue ensamblado siguiendo las asociaciones significativas entre sus componentes, los impactos socio-ambientales de la minería (W = 0,936; γ = -0,867; p < 0,01), y con respecto a la gestión de riesgo de desastres (d = 0,947; γ = 1,000; p < 0,01). El estudio concluyó que el Modelo mitiga directamente las causas que gestan a los impactos socio-ambientales negativos y fomenta, mediante sus ejes transversales, la reducción de riesgos en los espacios mineros.

Authors: Aldana Zavala Julio Juvenal , Isea Josia , Colina Félix
Published: January 2020

La investigación tuvo por objetivo determinar el impacto del estrés académico durante el proceso de realización del trabajo especial de grado en estudiantes de Licenciatura en Educación. El estrés académico fue sustentado teóricamente desde la vertiente de autores como: Berrío y Mazo (2011), Castillo Pimienta et al. (2016), Méndez y Gálvez (2018), Moran et al. (2018).  Metodológicamente se trabajó con una investigación correlacional. La muestra de estudio, estuvo conformada por 167 estudiantes. La correlación de Pearson posee un resultado de 0,061, la cual se encuentra en el rango de correlación positiva muy débil y una significancia de 0,434, acercándose a 0,5, generando un nivel de confianza positiva. Desde los resultados obtenidos se rechaza la hipótesis nula H0. Se encontró una asociación lineal estadísticamente significativa, moderada (rP=-0.434, p<0.05), entre el estrés académico y trabajo especial de grado, con lo cual, el estrés académico influye directamente en los estudiantes durante el proceso de realización de trabajo especial de grado. El impacto del estrés académico ha influido negativamente sobre la muestra poblacional abordada, requiriéndose esfuerzos extras por parte de los estudiantes para la conclusión efectiva de los trabajos de investigación y concluir su proceso de formación en la universidad, siendo menester profundizar en investigaciones que permitan explicar con mayor detenimiento las consecuencias del estrés académico en la personalidad de los estudiantes. Es necesario recobrar el papel que juega la universidad en el fomento de nuevos conocimientos provenientes de trabajos de investigación, siendo pertinente considerar la planificación centrada en la investigación como una figura primordial para la generación de un currículo donde se aborde la importancia de acompañar desde las múltiples complejidades de los estudiantes investigadores durante el proceso de investigación.

The article presents the results of investigations on qualitative indexes of seeds of lentil varieties which is considered one of important crop types for food security.
The influence of cultivation technology and agrotechnical measures on the quality of lentil grains has been studied. Local varieties of lentil “Oltin don”, “Darmon” and “Sarbon” varieties were chosen for experiments and whenever their physical-chemical content was analyzed, their seed moisture constituted 8,37-8,59 %, ash amount made 3,10-3,17 % and protein amount showed 22,2-25,4 % .
Moreover, there have been stated about the dependence of products quality on the parameters and also the influence of cultivation technology and applied agrotechnics on the quality of grains. Qualitative indexes of local varieties of lentil “Oltin don”, “Darmon” and “Sarbon” have been noted as correspondable to requirements. The impact of physical structure on qualitative indexes of lentil grains and chemical content of grains have been noted too. After maturation the study of lentil grains in special grain processing facilities under standard requirements has been highlighted too.

Rosela merupakan salah satu tanaman obat keluarga yang sering digunakan sebagai obat tradisional untuk menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri. Rosela memiliki potensi untuk dijadikan minuman teh kombucha. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui aktivitas antibakteri kombucha rosela (Hibiscus sabdariffa L) terhadap Escherichia coli dan Staphylococcus aureus. Kombucha rosela dibuat dengan cara memfermentasikan ekstrak rosela, starter dan gula selama 7 hari dengan variasi konsentrasi ekstrak 20, 30 dan 40 gram. Selanjutnya dilakukan uji aktivitas antibakteri dengan metode disk diffusion (tes Kirby & Bauer) . Hasil uji aktivitas antibakteri menunjukkan bahwa kombucha rosela pada konsentrasi 20, 30 dan 40 gram dapat menghambat dan membunuh bakteri dengan baik, namun paling optimum menghambat bakteri adalah kombucha dengan konsentrasi rosela 40 gram menghasilkan zona hambat 6,5 mm terhadap bakteri E.coli yang dikategorikan dengan daya aktivitas antibakteri sedang. Sedangkan kombuca rosella memiliki daya hambat kurang dari 5 mm (daya hambat lemah) terhadap bakteri S.aureus.

How successful is immigrant group integration in the United States and Western Europe? A comparative review and analysis
Authors: Alba Richard , Foner Nancy
Published: January 2020

This article examines how successful immigrant integration is on the two sides of the Atlantic through a systematic comparison of five countries: four in Western Europe (Britain, France, Germany, and the Netherlands) and the United States. The focus is on low-status immigrant groups, such as Mexicans in the United States and Turks in Western Europe. The comparison reveals that no one country is a clear winner or loser. How successful a country is in integrating immigrants and their children depends on the institutional context or domain being examined. The analysis explores a range of domains: race and religion as well as the labor market, residence, education, mixed unions, and national identities.
‘Voice’ or ‘exit’? From the streets of Syria to the borders of the EU
Authors: Düvell Franck
Published: January 2020

In 2011 and 2012, many citizens in the Arab world arose in what became known as the ‘Arab spring’. This led to a spiral of suppression and more protests, notably in Syria. These did not topple the regime but escalated into a long civil war. Several million people were forced to seek shelter in other countries. Turkey became the main host country of Syrian and other refugees as well as the main gateway into the EU. This article focuses on the interplay of protests and forced migration and analyses these events through the theoretical lens of Hirschman’s ‘voice, exit or loyalty’ model. Itargues for a revision of the original voice/exit model, notably for acknowledging the interaction of ‘voice and exit’ and thus suggests a much more complex and dynamic model.
Eastwards EU enlargements and migration transition in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Górny Agata
Published: January 2020

Most Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries are net-emigration countries, in contrast to Western and Southern European countries, which usually represent net-immigration areas. The economic, demographic and legal outcomes of the 2004 and 2007 EU eastwards enlargements reshaped the migratory context in CEE in many ways. The article demonstrates, however, that in the decade (and more) that has passed since these enlargements, the changes in volumes and patterns of immigration to CEE have not been particularly substantial. This can be linked to the still relatively low economic attractiveness of the CEE region within the EU, and also to the importance of ethnic-based and local movements (but frequently from outside the EU after enlargements) in immigration to this region. These create a basis for, first of all, temporary and circular inflow. The article also acknowledges the diversity in developments in immigration within the CEE region.
“I do not mind immigrants; it is immigration that bothers me.” The inconsistency of immigration attitudes in Europe
Authors: Čermáková Dita , Leontiyeva Yana
Published: January 2020

Using the European Social Survey data we studied migration attitudes in 19 European countries, including Czechia. We introduced and tested the assumption about the bi-dimensional nature of migration attitudes, where personalized attitudes towards immigrants as individuals might differ from the generalised attitudes toward immigration as a phenomenon. The results of our analysis have provided arguments to suggest that one person may in fact has rather positive attitudes towards individual immigrants (in term of willingness to accept them in closer contacts in everyday life) and at the same time express reservations about immigration as a phenomenon (be more sceptical about the positive outcomes of international migration). The article also contributes to the discussion about the country context, which seems to have an important effect on migration attitudes. People in CEE countries tend to express considerably greater social distancing from individual immigrants than people in those European countries with relatively longer immigration experience. But when it comes to attitudes towards immigration as a phenomenon, here the feelings are rather reserved all across Europe.
Natural regime of streamflow trends in Macedonia
Authors: Radevski Ivan , Gorin Svemir , Taleska Milena , Dimitrovska Olgica
Published: January 2020

This study investigates the annual and seasonal trends of minimum, mean and maximum streamflow, analyzed on 13 gauges/streams with natural regime, predominantly mountainous and homogeneously distributed in the studied area. The varying period of at least 40 years is used in the analysis. After the pre-whitening TFPW method was applied, the Mann-Kendall and Sen’s slope tests were used for trend testing. The analysis detects significant decreasing trends in the country (according to a = 0.1 significance level). In general, the streamflow shows levels of decrease in almost all streams with lower or higher magnitude (from 0.1 to 0.01). The results provide a unique assessment of streamflow trends in the country and the current findings are consistent with those in other regions of Europe, especially in Southern Europe. Significant trends of decrease have been found in each of the 13 streamflow gauges throughout Macedonia without a single positive significant trend. The test confirmed the general decreasing streamflow trend in the country; even the stations without any significant decreasing results are generally heading downward.
Spring and autumn frosts in the Pannonian Basin in Serbia
Authors: Malinović-Milićević Slavica , Radovanović Milan M.
Published: January 2020

The study analyzes the number of light, moderate and severe spring and autumn frosts and occurrence of the last spring and the first autumn frost in the Pannonian Basin in Serbia, over the period 1961–2010. Only the average number of light and severe spring frosts decreased significantly over the investigated period, while the number of spring and autumn frosts of all intensities decreased at the majority of stations since 1990. Since 1990, the last light and moderate spring frosts have had a tendency to occur earlier, while autumn frosts have shown the tendency to occur later. In the urban station of Belgrade the last spring frosts appeared on average 17 days earlier relative to rural stations, while first autumn frosts appeared 17 days later. The lengthening of the period without light frosts since 1990 was the result of an earlier ending of spring frosts, while the lengthening of the period without moderate and severe frosts is caused by the later start of autumn frosts.
Growing gap in population dynamics, closing the gap in population size: the European Union and the United States compared
Authors: Kocourková Jiřina , Šídlo Luděk , Novák Martin , Sýkora Luděk
Published: January 2020

This paper investigates differences in population development in the European Union and the United States. The population projections recently published by the United Nations forecast expected a slowdown in growth and a shrinking of the EU population and a continued growth in the US. Therefore, the paper aims to find out which components of population change are primarily responsible for the different population dynamics. The article first explores the role of population change and migration in total population growth. Then it investigates fertility and mortality patterns, focusing on demographic behaviour of ethnic/racial groups in the US and regional disparities in Europe. The paper documents that fertility differences primarily cause the different population dynamics in the EU and the US. This is reflected in the forecast convergence towards the same population size.
Political preferences of towns in Slovakia in the 1929 parliamentary election
Authors: Madleňák Tibor , Balážovič Ľuboš
Published: January 2020

This article examines historical patterns in the political preferences of Slovakia’s urban population based on the results of the 1929 democratic parliamentary election. Within the group of 114 towns existing at that time, the authors define nine types of towns with specific patterns of political preferences, identified by using the cluster analysis. Individual types are named according to the dominant political orientation. These types are also characterized in terms of their geographic location, size, ethnic origin and religious makeup, which is essential to explain spatial electoral patterns of the day. The article also delineates the position of individual towns and their clusters in relation to the main cleavages (centre/periphery, conservatism/secularism, right/left) existing within the party system in interwar Slovakia.

Published: January 2020

The analysis of key concepts of information support is carried out. Based on the global trends in the development and application of automated information systems of a specialized and publicly-assigned purpose, based on the requirements advanced by the modern information society, a perspective model of an automated information system that needs to be implemented in the field of military science is presented. The general outline of informational support in the information environment of the military-scientific sector is determined. The complex of measures aimed at increasing the level of management of the system of military science is determined by timely providing full and reliable information to the governing bodies and decision-makers, as well as by applying mathematical models and methods for making optimal decisions. Considered users of the system, their role and place in the process of information exchange. The filling and structural-functional scheme of the perspective model of the automated scientific and technical information system is proposed. A list of requirements for the functionality and software of the proposed automated information system is formulated. The conclusions of the article formulated the main advantages that will be obtained by the military-scientific sector as a result of the introduction into the creative and managerial process of the proposed automated scientific and technical information system.
