Transformations of folklorism in 20th-century Slovak composition
Authors: Ladič Branko
Published: December 2016

Folkloristic musical works played an essential role in the creation of a ‘Slovak idiom’ in classical music of the post-war period. From the simple arrangement of folk songs to a more autonomous art music (which may have been only partly influenced by folk traditions) there existed a broad spectrum of musical practices, including also film music and music for the professional ‘folk music ensembles’ that appeared after 1948. By referring to specific examples from this large body of music, I will show how composers worked with harmonic and poetic elements that were particular to folk music: my discussion of examples from the breadth of this music — including music for the film Zem spieva ([The land sings], music by F. Škvor), the ‘model’ compositions for the ensemble SĽUK (A. Moyzes) and, finally, the subjective folklorism of the avantgarde in the 1960s and 1970s — shows how Slovak composers worked under changing ideological influences to bring about an ‘ennobling’ of folk music.

The Image of Paganism in the Age of Reason: From Idolatry towards a Secular Concept of Polytheism
Authors: Horák Pavel
Published: December 2016

This article argues that the concept of “paganism,” though originally theological in nature, came to be used in the Enlightenment and its secular thought as a term for non-Abrahamic religions. Discussions on paganism were conducted in an environment where concerns about religious plurality had become central. As such, these discussions, and their subject—paganism, also served as a means to find solutions for concerns about religious plurality. This article will focus on three components of the discussion on paganism: (i) the origin of idolatry, (ii) the nature of gods, and (iii) the nature of pagan worship. This article argues that purportedly secular concerns regarding paganism expressed by Deist and Enlightenment scholars were in fact rooted in Christian theology. This article is divided into four sections. The first section gives a general account of relevant discussions taking place in the seventeenth century. The second section discusses the father of English deism, Herbert of Cherbury, and his notion of paganism. The third section discusses Herbert’s successors. The fourth section discusses David Hume and his work on paganism. The article argues that internal theological concerns in the seventeenth and eighteenth century gave rise to a specific conceptual language used in thinking about and discussing paganism. This language was later adopted by contemporary Pagans in the twentieth and twenty first century. As such, the article argues, in any study of the phenomenon referred to as “paganism” the present framework inevitably leads one to theological questions and answers. As a result, while the discussion on paganism continues to be a theological one, the phenomenon being studied remains inaccessible.
XFEM/Level-set for modelling of coated inclusion composites
Authors: Binh Tran Anh
Published: December 2016

In this paper, Extended Finite Element method (XFEM) is used to model the embedded coated inclusion composite. The coated inclusion with finite thickness is associated with two level-set functions, which describe its inside and outside interfaces.  A simple integration rule is employed for numerical quadrature in elements cut by two interfaces. Accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach are demonstrated through 3D numerical examples and applied to homogenization of such materials.
Adaptation of Revised Social Anhedonia Scale (RSAS) on Russian sample
Authors: Rychkova O.V. , Kholmogorova A.B.
Published: December 2016

Anhedonia (or hypohedonia) reflects a missing or reduced ability to experience pleasure. Interest in the concept of clinical psychology and psychopathology is due to the high significance of violations of ability to experience pleasure as a predictor of serious mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression, chemical dependency. For under- standing the psychological deficits of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders is of particular importance to social anhedonia, reflecting the reduced ability to experience interest and pleasure from interactions with socially relevant stimuli and partners, and is implicated in disorders of social cognition, to social exclusion of patients. Revised Social Anhedonia Scale (RSAS) was designed to assess the severity of social anhedonia, tested in many countries, widely used in studies of schizophrenia. The problem of estimating the psychometric characteristics of the test RSAS, including the validity of the technique has become part of the project for the study of social cognition in mental disorders (grant funds of the Russian Science Foundation, Project № 14-18-03461). This article presents the results of the evaluation of the psychometric characteristics of RSAS and the applicability of the methodology for the Russian sample.

The study was performed by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (grant № 14- 18-03461) at the Federal Medical Research Centre of Psychiatry and Narcology under the Ministry of Public Health of the Russian Federation.

Published: December 2016

Introduction. More and more researches dedicated to the communication of diseases of the oral cavity of pregnant women with diabetes. It is proved that the intensity of caries and inflammatory periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) increase significantly during pregnancy, while the presence of comorbidities, such as diabetes, increase these indexes.Aim. The aim of the work was to study the dental status of pregnant women with diabetes.Materials and methods. The study compared women with gestational diabetes mellitus, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes, to a control group of pregnant women without diabetes. In addition to clinical research methods, liquid-based cytology of the contents of the gingival sulcus was performed.Results. The results of clinical and laboratory studies have shown that inflammatory diseases of periodontium and teeth within pregnant women with diabetes are more common than within the pregnant women without this disease. It should be noted that the frequency of occurrence and severity of these diseases in the pregnant women with type I diabetes is higher than in the other groups.Conclusion. Pregnant women with diabetes are at risk for dental disease and require more attention from dentists, endocrinologists and obstetricians. The use of liquid-based cytology method helps in the diagnosis of inflammatory periodontal diseases.

Functional outcome of surgery done for carpal tunnel syndrome
Authors: Thomas Mathew P.
Published: December 2016

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common, chronic and disabling condition afflicting many people. The common age at onset is 40 to 50, although a person of any age may be affected. The diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is often based on clinical findings alone. Electro-diagnostic studies of carpal tunnel syndrome were first established in 1956 by demonstrating focal slowing of median nerve conduction at wrist. This study is meant to evaluate the functional outcome of carpal tunnel release surgery done in Al Azhar Medical College from 2012-2014.

Methods: 50 cases (5 cases being bilateral) of carpal tunnel syndrome were operated between 2012 to 2014. All cases were done under local anesthesia. Patients were retrospectively evaluated and interviewed for 2 months follow up after the surgery.

Results: Out of the 50 patients who had undergone surgery, 44 patients (88%) had symptomatic relief in the first 10 days. Remaining patients had symptomatic relief in 2 months time.

Conclusions: Surgery is always the preferred treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. In my study, 6 patients (12%) had long standing carpal tunnel syndrome, hence it took 2 months for symptomatic relief. Remaining patients had symptomatic relief in the first 10 days.

Intra-articular dexmedetomidine and clonidine for postoperative analgesia in arthroscopic knee surgery
Authors: Dhar Rabinarayan , Nayak Satya Prasanna
Published: December 2016

Background: Many drugs have been used for postoperative pain management which is a common and distressing symptom after knee arthroscopy. But no single ideal intra-articular drug has been found. This study was done to assess the efficacy of intra-articular dexmedetomidine and clonidine for postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgeries.

Methods: Fifty  patients of American Society of Anaesthesiologists of  grade I/II, aged 20-70 years posted for arthroscopic knee surgery were randomly divided into groups I (clonidine group) and group II (dexmedetomidine group). 25 patients in group I received  1 µg/ kg of clonidine diluted to 20 ml in normal saline and group II patients received 1 µg/kg of dexmedetomidine diluted to 20 ml in normal saline via intra-articular route at the end of the surgery. Visual analogue score (VAS), time to give the first dose of analgesia and total dose of analgesic required in first 24 hours was evaluated in each group.

Results: VAS score was lower and time to first analgesic requirement was greater in Group II in comparison to Group I which was statistically significant. Total dose of analgesic used in Group II patients was significantly less compared to patients in Group I which was statistically significant.

Conclusions: Intra-articular dexmedetomidine is more effective in providing prolonged postoperative analgesia after arthroscopic knee procedures and reduces the total dose of analgesic required postoperatively compared to clonidine.

 
Transverse sacralization of lumbar vertebrae: prevalence according to Castellvi classification
Authors: Patel Juhi V. , Mehta Chetan M. , Patil Nandakishore G. , Sehgal Shreya R.
Published: December 2016

Background: Sacralization of L5 is a congenital anomaly, in which the lumbar vertebra, mainly its transverse process, gets fused or semi-fused with the sacrum or the ilium or to both. This fusion can occur in one or both sides of the body. Sacralization leads to fusion of the L5 (fifth lumbar vertebra) and S1 (first sacral vertebra) and the inter-vertebral disc between them may be narrow. Sacralization of lumbar vertebra may be asymptomatic but is not always clinically insignificant. While sacralization may not affect at all, it can cause problems in some cases. Sacralization may be at times associated with problems in biomechanics and affect the ways of movement and posture control. Sacralization may also be an important consideration in disc surgeries. This study has been carried out to find out prevalence of sacralisation of transverse process of fifth lumbar vertebrae.

Methods: The present study of transverse sacralisation of fifth lumbar vertebra was carried out on 35 randomly selected patients. The sample consisted of patients undergoing CT scan for abdominal complains. Bone window of all patients were evaluated to look for lumbosacral transitional vertebra.

Results: The prevalence of transverse sacralization of lumbar vertebra turned out to be 25.7% out of which Castellvi type IIb was found to be most common, accounting for 33.3% cases. 5.7% comprised the group of normal variant (Castellvi’s type I) and 68.6% were normal.

Conclusions: It is important to determine lumbosacral transitional vertebra as it can affect spinal movement and put excess stress on the lumbar vertebrae and in between disc. Moreover it can have a bearing on counting of vertebral levels specially during planning of spinal surgey.

Published: December 2016

Background: Acetabulum fractures are among the most serious injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons. People of all ages are vulnerable to these injuries. ORIF is considered the right treatment method for acetabular fractures. Patients who underwent this treatment had a good result. For the general orthopedic surgeon the treatment for displaced acetabular fracture is a challenging task. The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional outcome of surgically treated acetabular fractures.

Methods: A prospective longitudinal study was undertaken in our hospital during the period of June 2011–June 2015. A total number of 32 patients were included in the study. All patients with the history of fall and pain in the pelvic region were examined clinically and radiologically by doing an X-ray of plain AP view of the pelvis as well as CT-scan. Fractures that were displaced by more than 5 mm with concomitant disruption of the bony continuity of the acetabular dome were treated surgically. The follow-up schedule was 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively and subsequently at two years when the operative outcome had been finalized and final evaluation of fracture healing and functional outcome was performed.

Results: Radiologic evaluation showed 88.5% of excellent or good results and 12.5% of fair or poor results, while clinical evaluation showed 90.6% of excellent or good results and 9.4% of fair or poor results. The clinical evaluation was done for the patients based on the D’Aubigne-Postel criterion. . Based on this criterion 90% of the patients had shown good to excellent results and for the remaining 10% of the patients it was between poor and fair.

Conclusions: In acetabular fractures open reduction and internal fixation was consistent with better anatomical reduction and functional outcome provided when it is carried out by an experienced surgeon and intervened within the first few days following the injury.

Authors: Nayak Satya Prasanna , Dhar Rabinarayan , Mohanty Debaprasad
Published: December 2016

Background: Epidural anaesthesia with adjuvant is the preferred method for intra and postoperative pain relief after total knee replacement surgeries   but search for ideal adjuvant for prolonging the duration of postoperative analgesia without any side effect goes on. This study was conducted to evaluate the onset, extent and duration of sensory and motor block and side effects of clonidine or dexmedetomidine when used as an adjuvant in epidural anaesthesia in total knee replacement.

Methods: 60 patients of ASA status I and II, posted for total knee replacement were randomly allocated into two groups of 30 each. Group I group patients received 18 ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine and clonidine 2 mcg/kg in epidural route and Group II group patients received 18 ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine and dexmedetomidine 1.5 mcg/kg in epidural route. Intraoperative and postoperative block characteristics as well as hemodynamic parameters were observed and recorded.

Results: Dexmedetomidine had an earlier onset and longer duration of sensory and motor block in comparison to clonidine. Sedation scores were statistically significant with dexmedetomidine group in comparison to clonidine group.

Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine was a better than clonidine as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine in epidural anaesthesia in total knee replacement.
The expression and regulation of glucose transporters in tumor cells
Authors: Zhao Pengfei , Wang Weiwei , Yang Li , Gaole Alatan
Published: December 2016

Glucose transporter proteins are involved in many physiological and biochemical processes. In particular, the high expressions of sodium-glucose cotransporter and glucose transporter proteins in tumor cells show that these two transporters play a key role in tumor cell metabolism. Studying the crystal structure and conformation of human glucose transporter proteins has enabled the development of drugs based on specific binding sites, opening up a new path towards more effective cancer treatments. This mini review serves to summarize our existing understanding of the metabolic pathways of tumor cells, focusing on the roles of glucose transporter proteins.

Effect Of Liability Of Foreignness And Family Ownership On Cross-Listing Location Choice
Authors: Ahn He Soung , Cho Hyejin
Published: December 2016

Firms incur liability of foreignness (LOF) when they expand their businesses to foreign countries. This study examines the applicability of LOF in the context of financing in a foreign capital market. Using an alternative-specific conditional logit model, we investigate the cross-listing decisions of firms from 28 countries that select among eight target destinations from 1994 to 2008. These firms target capital markets with lower LOF, which is measured by institutional, economic, geographic, and cultural distance. Such preference is particularly stronger for firms with higher levels of family ownership, suggesting family owners’ tendency to be averse to risk is also manifested in financing context.

Published: December 2016

Distance learning technologies enrich learning opportunities due to many advantages like ubiquity and flexibility. Although the usefulness of such technologies in teaching and learning is clear, their testing part is remained to be discussed due to the security issue. Administrators and teachers need to use more authentic and secure distant testing software in which the scores are guaranteed and the testees keep away from cheating. Static and online authentication systems like “username” and “password” and face detection have empowered educational parties to have more reliable testing outcomes. Mobile devices as the necessity of the new millennium need to use authentication software in their testing. Mobile devices with their multimedia course materials provide learners with many optimistic learning opportunities through collaboration, cooperation, interaction and testing. The unique chances of ubiquity, individualization, informality, and spontaneity make the mobile learning of particular importance not only for digital natives but also for teachers, administrators, developers, instructors, and policy makers. Yielding an economical learning opportunity along with providing authentic contexts for collaborative learning is beneficial for the economy of the country in general and for the meaningful and deep learning of the learners. This paper will discuss how authentication techniques have applied to electronic devices like mobile phones.

Authors: Bodnar Svetlana
Published: December 2016

The article discloses the problem of content and language integrated teaching to Ukrainian university students majoring in economics. The characteristics of the integrated teaching are presented. Nowadays pedagogical integration can be traced in all its forms: in interconnection of actions concerning youth education and upbringing; in interconnection of content of different subjects teaching, moreover not only related subjects (such as mathematics and physics) but so-called unconnected subjects (computer sciences and foreign languages); in interconnection of different activities as to the major subject learning. Pedagogical integration is realised by creating “practical synthesis”, it means: joining the content of related subjects into one academic discipline; applying similar methods and techniques of teaching synthesised subject; emerging organisational forms of teaching different subjects into one organisational-methodic unity which functions in one educational process. The peculiarities of the integrated teaching economic subjects by means of a foreign language are highlighted in the article. Professional knowledge and skills that Ukrainian students majoring in economics are to master both in the native and in the foreign languages for professional material application into practice are described. The methods of integrated teaching economic subjects by means of a foreign language have been introduced.

MODERN FICTION AS FACTOR OF STUDENTS’ READING CULTURE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Bilavych Galyna , Rozman Iryna
Published: December 2016

Nowadays there is an urgent need for the formation of students’ reading culture in a modern university. It is necessary to enhance the educational value of a book in students, who are losing their interest in reading. Fiction is gradually becoming less popular among youth (as compared to cinema and music, it ranks third). This was confirmed by the results of the research conducted in 2012 and in 2016 at the Pedagogical Institute of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University (PNU) and Pedagogical Faculty of Mukachevo State University (MSU). 78 students (majoring in Primary Education) and 30 students (majoring in Social Pedagogy) at PNU and 96 students at MSU were involved in the research. Most of the students were females. Applying such methods as questionnaires, conversations, interviewing and observations, we studied the place of fiction in the system of students’ inquiries, its role in education, as well as students’ knowledge of educational fiction. The whole complex of the methods used ensured the reliability of the research results and confirmed that students’ reading culture is an integral part of the job profile diagram of a qualified teacher/educator. The level of students’ reading culture may be enhanced in the case of implementing a specially organised system of teacher education. This system should enable students to acquire an awareness of the works by modern writers; introduce popular fiction books into students’ extracurricular activity. In our opinion, student involvement in literary societies and research centres of modern literature may facilitate the formation of literary interests among future teachers.
CONCEPTUALISATION OF ECONOMIC CRISIS IN DISCOURSE: FROM THE GREAT DEPRESSION TO THE GREAT RECESSION
Authors: Oliynyk Natalya , Shevchenko Iryna
Published: December 2016

The article considers conceptual representation of ECONOMIC CRISIS in the economic mass-media discourse of the two historical periods: 1929–1933 and 2007–2010 to reveal its synchronic and diachronic distinctions and dichotomies. More specifically, it is aimed to study linguistic means representing the concept in the 20th century and determine their diachronic variations. Applying cognitive linguistic instruments, such as component analysis and conceptual metaphor theory, it has been determined that conceptual content, structure and metaphorical representation of ECONOMIC CRISIS are subject to historical variations. Terminologically motivated name of the concept “economic crisis” provides historical stability of its content and structure formed by historical constants DECLINE, UNSTABLE SITUATION, TURNING POINT on the one hand, and affects its historical change: extension with new constituents – variables DISORDER, LANDMARK, ACCIDENT, on the other. Propositional schemas of the concept, mainly those of action and identification, form the cognitive structure of ECONOMIC CRISIS and vary diachronically in the degree of prominence. The dominant conceptual metaphors of ECONOMIC CRISIS of a target domain CRISIS is MOVEMENT DOWN and CRISIS is A STATE OF EMERGENCY are stable through history while their further division into clusters of metaphors varies both in the set of source domains and in their frequency in discourse.

Published: December 2016

The right choice of a coursebook makes both teaching and learning experiences effective and enjoyable. However, the real strengths and weaknesses of the chosen teaching material become apparent only over a period of continuous use. This article looks into the way coursebook effectiveness can be evaluated by the participants of the educational process. The importance of retrospective assessment of a coursebook is emphasised, considering the fact that it enables to evaluate the work done and make the appropriate decisions for the future courses. The evaluation should be performed not only by teachers, but also by students. For this purpose, two different assessment forms have been developed. The author stresses that learners and educators view coursebooks from the various standpoints, that’s why their evaluation forms should include different sets of parameters. The principles for creating the questionnaires for teachers and students are outlined in the present work. The article suggests that the most effective way to conduct a coursebook evaluation is to use free data mining web tools which not only streamline the evaluation process, but also enable to effectively process the results of the survey. The author outlines the process of creating interactive questionnaires using one of such web tools. The last part of the article features description of the practical implementation of the suggested evaluation approach. The developed questionnaires have been used to evaluate Speakout Intermediate coursebook with which a general course of English was taught to a group of adult learners.
