ADMINISTRASI KURIKULUM
Authors: Sari Meri Kurnia
Published: December 2019

The term etymology curriculum comes from Latin, namely curricular which means the distance that must be traveled by a runner. And in French, the term curriculum comes from the word courier which means to run. So that the curriculum means a distance that must be traveled by a runner from the start line to the line up to the finish line to get a medal or award. The distance traveled is then changed to a school program and everyone involved in it. Thus in a narrow sense the curriculum is defined as a number of subjects that must be studied by students within a certain period. And in a broad understanding the curriculum is defined by all learning experiences provided to students, as long as they attend education and learning in certain schools or educational institutions.

Self-Compassion, Social Rank, and Psychological Distress in Varyingly Competitive Athletes
Authors: Walton Courtney C. , Baranoff John , Gilbert Paul , Kirby James
Published: December 2019

AbstractBackground: Self-Compassion may be seen as a concept contrary to the aims of athletes engaged in competitive sport. This may be accentuated at more elite levels, where athletes may view concepts like self-criticism and self-judgement as more important for improvement. Objectives: The current study aimed to better understand how athletes of different competitive levels (from social to international) relate to concepts of self-compassion. Further, we aimed to explore how factors relating to social rank and self-compassion contribute to athlete mental health.Design: Cross-sectional online survey.Method: An online survey was distributed, including the following validated questionnaires: Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales, the Self-Compassion Scale, Fears of Compassion Scales, Social Comparison Scale, Forms of Self-Criticising/Attacking & Self-Reassuring Scale, and the Striving to Avoid Inferiority Scale. Results: Two hundred and fifty-three participants responded to the survey, including 115 recreational and 79 competitive athletes. There were no differences between groups on any measure of compassion or social rank. In a multiple linear regression model, lower self-compassion, higher fears of compassion (for self), and higher feelings of inadequacy predicted more pronounced psychological distress in athletes.Conclusions: Contrary to expectation, the results suggest that even highly elite athletes may be open to using self-compassion. Given that self-compassion and sense of social rank contributed to psychological distress in athletes, the results suggest that compassion-based approaches to treating psychological distress in this population may be valid.
Severity of misophonia symptoms is associated with worse cognitive control when exposed to misophonia trigger sounds.
Authors: Daniels Emily , Rodriguez Andrew , Zabelina Darya
Published: December 2019

The present study aimed to investigate the extent to which the severity of misophonia symptoms is linked with cognitive control under misophonia symptom-provocation circumstances in the general population sample. Participants (N = 79) completed a measure of cognitive control – a Stroop color naming task, which consists of congruent and incongruent stimuli, and requires inhibition of a prepotent response (reading a word) in the service of a less predominant response (naming a color), while listening to misophonia symptom-provocation or universally unpleasant sounds. Participants’ misophonia sound sensitivity, and emotional behaviors towards trigger sounds were assessed using the Misophonia Questionnaire. Stronger emotional behavioral reactions to misophonia trigger sounds were significantly associated with the larger Stroop effect when participants were exposed to the misophonia trigger sounds, but not when they were exposed to the universally unpleasant sounds. This effect held when controlling for personality trait of Neuroticism and for baseline levels of anxiety. Both elevated misophonia sound sensitivity and emotional behaviors towards trigger sounds significantly correlated with higher self-reported anxiety when performing the Stroop task. However, only elevated emotional behaviors towards trigger sounds were linked with higher anxiety levels at baseline, suggesting that people who experience stronger emotions and behavioral reactions to misophonia trigger sounds may have higher anxiety at a trait level. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
Young New Zealanders' Beliefs About Youth Suicide and How It Can Be Prevented
Authors: Holman Mikayla Sarah , Williams Matt N
Published: December 2019

Objective: New Zealand has the highest suicide rate amongst youth (ages 15-24) in the OECD. In this study, we aimed to conduct a conceptual replication of two previous studies (Heled & Read, 2005; Curtis, 2010), examining the views that youth in New Zealand hold about the causes of youth suicide, potential solutions, and help-seeking.Method: A detailed data collection and analysis plan was preregistered prior to data collection. One hundred university students aged 18 to 24 completed a mixed-methods online survey; 89% were female.Results: Just one of four hypotheses formulated based on the findings of Curtis (2010) was supported: Students who were personally aware of another student's suicidality were more willing to seek help for others from the university counselling service. Qualitative findings indicated that bullying and stigma were the most commonly perceived causes of youth suicide. Improvement of mental health services was the most frequently recommended solution for reducing the youth suicide rate.Conclusions: The views of youth should be included in the future development of mental health services and policies aimed at reducing suicide rates for this population.
The effects of increased visual information on cognitive workload in a helicopter simulator
Authors: Innes Reilly James , Howard Zachary L , Thorpe Alexander , Eidels Ami , Brown Scott
Published: December 2019

Objective: To test the effects of enhanced display information ("symbology") on cognitive workload in a simulated helicopter environment, using the Detection Response Task (DRT). Background: Workload in highly demanding environments can be influenced by the amount of information given to the operator and consequently it is important to limit potential overload. Methods: Participants (highly trained military pilots) completed simulated helicopter flights, which varied visual conditions and the amount of information given. During these flights participants also completed a DRT as a measure of cognitive workload. Results: With more visual information available, pilots landing accuracy was improved across environmental conditions. The DRT is sensitive to changes in cognitive workload, with workload differences shown between environmental conditions. Increasing symbology appeared to have a minor effect on workload, with an interaction effect of symbology and environmental condition showing that symbology appeared to moderate workload. Conclusion: The DRT is a useful workload measure in simulated helicopter settings. The level of symbology moderated pilot workload. The increased level of symbology appeared to assist pilots flight behaviour and landing ability. Results indicate that increased symbology has benefits in more difficult scenarios. \textbf{Applications:} The detection response task is an easily implemented and effective measure of cognitive workload in a variety of settings. In the current experiment, the DRT captures the increased workload induced by varying the environmental conditions, and provides evidence for the use of increased symbology to assist pilots.

Published: December 2019

Pollution of surface water with harmful chemicals and eutrophication with excess nutrients are recent serious environmental concerns. This lends the need of knowing the nutrient loading and transport mechanism that will occur with different spatial and temporal extent. Thus, effective information regarding the nutrients load and transport mechanisms are important to hydrologists, water use planners, watershed managers and decision makers for water resource projects and planet ecosystem. Our study aimed for modeling of phosphorous loading and its transport pathways and to identify the most vulnerable sub basin responsible for a significant phosphorus load in Dhidhessa catchment using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The pathways of phosphorus were identified and found that the organic phosphorus was dominant exporting mechanism accounted for 58.89% of the total path in the study area. For all forms of phosphorus, surface run off was the most dominant means of transport agent. The average annual loading of total phosphorus was identified as 20 kg ha-1. The sub basins 17, 23, and 3 were identified as the highest loading area of total phosphorous in the study catchment. Best management plan which is simple, economical and adaptable over the study catchment for managing severe impact of surface run off on water resources should be adopted. It is better to undergo detail re-examination over the physical and chemical properties of P in fertilizers and manures to propose the minimizing, neutralizing, replacing strategies to reduce at the source.

Published: December 2019

Untreated water from hospitals of Biratnagar as effluent is a serious concern from health point of view. Antimicrobial resistant bacteria are a serious threat which may contaminate the drinking water and environment. With an aim of isolation and detection of Multidrug resistance (MDR) and Extended-spectrum b- lactamases (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae from the effluents and sewage samples of hospitals, this study builds the importance to inquiry about the involvement of hospital liquid waste discharge in the development and distribution of antibiotics resistance in the environment bacteria. Ten hospital sewage samples were aseptically collected, processed and analyzed. Isolates were biochemically identified, and their antimicrobial activity were tested. Of the ten sewage samples analyzed, 23 bacteria isolates were isolated which contained 8  Escherichia  coli (34.7%), 5 isolates each of Citrobacter spp (21.7%) and Enterobacter spp (21.7%), 3 isolates of Klebsiella spp (13%), and 1 isolate each of Shigella spp (4.3%) and Yersinia spp (4.3%). Most of the bacteria isolated were resistant to ampicillin, ceftazidime, cefpodoxime, amoxicillin/clavulanate, cefotaxime, cefoxitin, ceftriaxone, and cefuroxime.  The isolates were sensitive to nitrofurantoin, azithromycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and gentamycin antibiotics. Out of twenty-three isolates, 16 (69.6%) were found to be multidrug resistant, 7 (30.4%) were producing extended beta lactamase, while 18 (78.3%) multi-antibiotics resistance index greater than 20%. Among the bacteria isolated; 80% of the Citrobacter; and 75% of the E. coli were found biofilm producing bacteria. Sewage treatment plant must be established in hospital for their effluents and sludge coming from the hospital.

Visando a diminuição dos impactos ambientais e atender a legislação vigente, as indústrias estão buscando novas alternativas para o tratamento de seus resíduos. As indústrias de laticínios apresentam um alto consumo de água que geram uma grande quantidade de efluentes que têm em sua composição uma elevada concentração de matéria orgânica, a qual pode provocar danos ao meio ambiente. Portanto, tornam-se interessantes novas tecnologias para o tratamento destes efluentes. Uma possibilidade é a técnica de eletrocoagulação que tem se mostrado eficiente na redução de substâncias em efluentes industriais. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a aplicação do processo de eletrocoagulação (EC), no tratamento de efluentes de laticínio utilizando eletrodos de ferro. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo comparativo em sistema de batelada no tratamento de efluentes de laticínio para verificar a potencialidade e eficiência do processo de eletrocoagulação utilizando eletrodos de ferro na remoção da matéria orgânica quando comparado às eficiências obtidas pelos tratamentos convencionais, utilizando cloreto férrico 10%. Ambas as metodologias avaliadas apresentaram boas eficiências de remoção para as respostas acompanhadas (cor, turbidez, COT, DQO e nitrogênio), as quais atendem à legislação ambiental vigente. Estas metodologias foram aplicadas como atividades experimentais nas disciplinas de Engenharia Ambiental e Química Ambiental II dos cursos de Engenharia Mecânica e Química Industrial, respectivamente. Em termos acadêmicos a experimentação empregando problemas reais demonstrou ser uma importante ferramenta metodológica para estimular a curiosidade e o interesse dos mesmos pelo tema, tornando o ensino mais atrativo e participativo.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY

Published: December 2019

This article affirms the importance of family relationships for the economic development of society. The first part shows that, in many aspects, the global economic system is devoid of relational goods. Assuming that the human family “is the first and most important school of mercy”, it is underlined, in the second part, that, also in the economic field, we need to put into practice that kind of merciful relationships that privilege being over having and do not appeal to an invisible hand to justify the indifference towards humans and nature. The third part presents some current initiatives that show the importance of family relationships for an integral development.
HUMANAE VITAE AT FIFTY: TAKING UP ANEW A PROPHETIC DOCUMENT ON MARITAL LOVE AND SEXUALITY
Authors: Kampowski Stephan
Published: December 2019

Humanae Vitae is a prophetic document inasmuch as it touches on a critical point in which questions of sexuality, love, and life are intertwined. The heart of its message concerns the conditions under which a sexual act between spouses can truly be called an act of marital love. The encyclical argues that by deliberately rendering themselves sterile, the spouses change the nature of their sexual act, not only depriving it of its procreative, but also of its unitive meaning. The decades subsequent to the encyclical’s publication have demonstrated that sterilized sex indeed becomes trivialized sex. Once the dimension of potential common parenthood is excluded from its exercise, sexuality loses precisely the aspect that renders it so special. The essay highlights that Humanae Vitae’s teaching regards individual marriage acts in particular and not only married life in general. After presenting some pastoral considerations, it closes with the urgent reminder that questions regarding sexuality, marriage, and the family do not concern only some peripheral aspects of the cosmos of the faith, but touch upon the core of Christian life and belief.
LA QUESTIONE “GENDER”: UNA SFIDA PER L’ANTROPOLOGIA CRISTIANA
Authors: Trębski Krzysztof
Published: December 2019

La teoria del “gender” si riferisce all’opinione che l’identità sessuale non è determinata dal sesso biologico di una persona, ma indica il genere in cui un individuo si identifica in base ai propri desideri soggettivi. Tale teoria tratta le differenze tra i sessi come elettive e socialmente costruite. Sostiene che una persona può nascere con un corpo che non corrisponde all’identità maschile o femminile “percepita”. Questo ha profonde implicazioni sociali: nega la differenza e la reciprocità nella natura di un uomo e una donna e immagina una società senza differenze sessuali, eliminando così la base antropologica della famiglia.La Chiesa cattolica respinge questa ideologia, insegnando che Dio crea le persone come maschio o femmina e che il corpo e l’anima sono così uniti da formare un essere completo; quindi la differenza sessuale non è un incidente o un difetto, ma è un dono di Dio che aiuta le persone ad avvicinarsi l’uno all’altra e a Dio stesso. La Chiesa afferma altresì che il proprio sesso biologico fa parte del piano divino e che ogni persona dovrebbe riconoscere e accettare la propria identità sessuale basata sulla complementarietà dei sessi. Ogni persona è chiamata a sviluppare la propria identità sessuale in un modo che integri la propria mascolinità o femminilità nell’ambito delle relazioni con gli altri.L’articolo presenta l’insegnamento del Magistero della Chiesa cattolica e spiega che la complementarità tra i sessi non è intesa come fonte di oppressione o disuguaglianza, ma testimonia la bellezza del piano di Dio per l’umanità.
LE PERSONE DISABILI NELL’ECONOMIA DELLA SALVEZZA DI DIO
Authors: Rozen Barbara , Kopiec Maksym Adam
Published: December 2019

“Le Persone disabili nell’economia della salvezza di Dio” è uno studio dedicato alla ricerca inerente il posto e il ruolo delle persone con varie disfunzioni nella e per la comunità ecclesiale. Il punto di riferimento risiede nei presupposti fondamentali dell’antropologia e della pedagogia cristiana. Nell’articolo è stato fatto il tentativo di approfondire teologicamente la risposta a tre domande: Chi è la persona disabile per la Chiesa? Che cosa la Chiesa può offrire a una tale persona? Che cosa la persona disabile può donare alla Chiesa? La ragione e il significato di questa riflessione fondata sulla Sacra Scrittura e sui risultati del pensiero critico e teologico derivano da una inclinazione sociale ancora attuale a trattare le persone malate come passive, quasi “inutili”. Proprio questo contesto stimola noi stessi e gli altri a ripensare, in prospettiva cristologica ed ecclesiologica, questo stato di cose. Anzi, la credibilità della Chiesa si fa più esplicita nella misura in cui essa si apre e tratta seriamente la questione della disabilità umana, dimostrando di vivere secondo lo spirito del Vangelo.
ECCLESIASTIC LOVE IN EVANGELISATION
Authors: Tryk Hubert
Published: December 2019

Evangelisation is an important part of the Church’s mission and its aim is to bring man to meet with God the Saviour. Preaching the Gospel cannot be reduced to words, but it requires testimony in the form of deeds. Acts of love, for which the best source is the conduct of Jesus, described in the Gospels, are the most credible. The Church not only tries to imitate Jesus, but also to make Him present in God’s words that it preaches and in the ministry of charity. The truth of His infinite love is the most important truth that it communicates to the faithful. Therefore, evangelisation is always a form of communicating God’s love. The testimony of the faith in Christ, confirmed by acts of love, is extremely convincing and clear. Therefore, evangelical activities of the Church must always include Christian caritas, i.e. ministration to the needy.
IGLESIA POBRE Y PARA LOS POBRES. UNA RESPUESTA PASTORAL E INSPIRADORA DE LA IGLESIA EN AMÉRICA LATINA AL CONCILIO VATICANO II
Authors: Pabiś Dariusz
Published: December 2019

La preocupación de la Iglesia por los pobres ha sido una de sus características fundamentales desde el principio. Ella siempre ha emprendido acciones para responder a las necesidades de los pobres, aunque su eficacia podría ser evaluada de diferentes maneras. El Concilio Vaticano II fue un evento eclesial muy especial, que enfatizó la importancia de este esfuerzo de ayuda a los pobres. La sensibilidad de muchos de sus participantes ayudó a que la Iglesia abrazara con renovado entusiasmo la perspectiva de su Fundador, que quiso salvarnos por medio de su pobreza. Sólo una Iglesia pobre puede ser creíble y cumplir su misión en el mundo de modo efectivo, especialmente en esta época, marcada por la pobreza y la exclusión. La Iglesia latinoamericana ha entendido bien estas indicaciones conciliares y las ha llevado a la práctica con valentía, hasta convertirla en una opción pastoral fundamental. Con el tiempo esta opción se convirtió en una inspiración para la Iglesia universal.
PRZESTĘPSTWA DE SEXTO POPEŁNIONE PRZEZ SZAFARZA SAKRAMENTU POKUTY WEDŁUG KODEKSU PRAWA KANONICZNEGO Z 1983 ROKU
Authors: Kamiński Krzysztof
Published: December 2019

Niniejszy artykuł dotyczy przestępstw de sexto, dokonanych przez szafarza sakramentu pokuty, a zdefiniowanych w Kodeksie Prawa Kanonicznego z 1983 roku i innych dokumentach papieskich. Aby móc sprawcę przestępstwa rozgrzeszenia wspólnika przeciwko szóstemu przykazaniu Dekalogu pociągnąć do odpowiedzialności karnej, muszą zaistnieć dwa elementy. Pierwszym jest warunek dotyczący dwóch konkretnych osób, a więc penitenta i spowiednika, dokonujących wspólnie przestępstwa przeciwko czystości. Drugim zaś jest udzielenie penitentowi przez spowiednika absolucji sakramentalnej z grzechu wspólnie popełnionego. Ustawodawca za popełnienie tego przestępstwa przewidział ekskomunikę latae sententiae zastrzeżoną Stolicy Apostolskiej. Przestępstwo solicytacji zaś polega na nakłanianiu penitenta przez szafarza sakramentu pokuty do grzechu przeciw szóstemu przykazaniu Dekalogu. Kara za to przestępstwo jest obligatoryjna w formie kar ferendae sententiae i w gestii sędziego lub ordynariusza leży zadecydowanie, jaki to ma być rodzaj kary. Z przestępstwem solicytacji ściśle związana jest również kwestia fałszywego doniesienia na spowiednika, że doszło do jej popełnienia. Ustawodawca kościelny broni w ten sposób spowiednika przed fałszywym oskarżeniem. Przewidziana sankcja karna za popełnienie przestępstwa fałszywego oskarżenia spowiednika o solicytację to popadnięcie w interdykt z mocy samego prawa, co w konsekwencji skutkuje zakazem korzystania ze wszystkich sakramentów, w tym również z sakramentu pokuty. Gdy sprawcą jest duchowny, opócz kary interdyktu będzie podlegał on karze suspensy latae sententiae.

This special issue is devoted to a study of an action research-based reform of a US university study abroad programme to make it a genuine intercultural immersion experience. The four-year collaborative reform process combined participatory organisational redesign, the development of a comprehensive active learning approach and the teaching of intercultural competence through ethnographic immersion and community engagement in Seville, Spain. The case is an example of the development of intercultural competencies through guided behavioural change, of action research to reform higher education programmes and of active learning combined with formative and summative evaluation. The reader will learn about the experiences of the staff, faculty and mentors in the Consortium for Advanced Studies Abroad (CASA)-Sevilla study abroad programme and those of the sponsoring US universities as they together achieved a fundamental reform of a decades-old study abroad immersion programme. This special issue has many authors because this was a collaborative action-research project with continuous group work and brainstorming. The authors’ names are placed in the sections where the authorship is clear, but, as befits a collaboration, many of the ideas are the result of the combined thinking of all the authors. Authorship of the various sections has been allocated mainly to clarify for readers the most relevant author to contact to learn more about particular dimensions of the process. The guest editors took on the editorial duties on behalf of this larger group.

Published: December 2019

OBJECTIVE

Both structural allograft and PEEK have been used for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). There are reports that PEEK has a higher pseudarthrosis rate than structural allograft. The authors compared pseudarthrosis, revision, subsidence, and loss of lordosis rates in patients with PEEK and structural allograft.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective review of patients who were treated with ACDF at their hospital between 2005 and 2017. Inclusion criteria were adult patients with either PEEK or structural allograft, anterior plate fixation, and a minimum 2-year follow-up. Exclusion criteria were hybrid PEEK and allograft cases, additional posterior surgery, adjacent corpectomies, infection, tumor, stand-alone or integrated screw and cage devices, bone morphogenetic protein use, or lack of a minimum 2-year follow-up. Demographic variables, number of treated levels, interbody type (PEEK cage vs structural allograft), graft packing material, pseudarthrosis rates, revision surgery rates, subsidence, and cervical lordosis changes were collected. These data were analyzed by Pearson’s chi-square test (or Fisher’s exact test, according to the sample size and expected value) and Student t-test.

RESULTS

A total of 168 patients (264 levels total, mean follow-up time 39.5 ± 24.0 months) were analyzed. Sixty-one patients had PEEK, and 107 patients had structural allograft. Pseudarthrosis rates for 1-level fusions were 5.4% (PEEK) and 3.4% (allograft) (p > 0.05); 2-level fusions were 7.1% (PEEK) and 8.1% (allograft) (p > 0.05); and ≥ 3-level fusions were 10% (PEEK) and 11.1% (allograft) (p > 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the subsidence magnitude between PEEK and allograft in 1-, 2-, and ≥ 3-level ACDF (p > 0.05). Postoperative lordosis loss was not different between cohorts for 1- and 2-level surgeries.

CONCLUSIONS

In 1- and 2-level ACDF with plating involving the same number of fusion levels, there was no statistically significant difference in the pseudarthrosis rate, revision surgery rate, subsidence, and lordosis loss between PEEK cages and structural allograft.
“Bonfires were burning all night...”: about A. N. Tolstoy’s work on the novel “Peter the Great”
Authors: Akimova A. S.
Published: December 2019

The archives of Moscow and St. Petersburg have preserved materials for A. Tolstoy’s novel „Peter the Great.” Among them, there are sources of text, autographs, and typesetting with copyright, with descriptions of interrogations and executions of archers. They form a single “plot” and help to reproduce the sequence of the writer’s work on the text, which completes the last chapter of the first book of the novel. The samples of handwritten and printed sketches for individual scenes of the novel “Peter the Great”, stored in the ar-chives of Moscow and St. Petersburg, help to restore the writer’s working process on the text.
Developing the thinking flexibility of high school students when solving problems related to Bernoulli numbers
Authors: Rostovtsev A. S.
Published: December 2019

The article examines the features of the development of the thinking flexibility of high school students. Different points of view are formulated about the understanding of the development of flexibility of thinking. It was determined that, during the period of study, senior pupils are required to master the ability to apply their own knowledge in different cases, to rebuild standard methods of action, to understand other points of view, therefore, they have the flexibility of thinking. It should be noted that it is necessary to improve this quality in children from early childhood, since as a person grows older, convergent thinking is created in the personality, characterized in that it complicates the perception of multivariate, systematic and selective ideas.
A place for solving problems related to Bernoulli numbers in the structure of developing the flexibility of thinking of high school students was also highlighted. The competencies of high school students, which are formed as a result of the development of the studied tasks, are examined. It is determined that the proposed tasks can serve as a means of increasing the mathematical culture, the flexibility of thinking of high school students.

Published: December 2019

Background:

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a lethal neoplasia. Data from Latin America are scarce, and the distinct ethnic origins of this population could affect predictive or prognostic factors.

Objective:

We aim to describe a large cohort of non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma, identifying the demographic, clinical, and pathological prognostic factors for survival.

Methods:

We used a multi-institutional retrospective cohort involving 5,670 patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy across seven Latin American countries and Spain from 1980 to 2016. The variables were compared, and Kaplan–Meier curves were used to estimate the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS).

Results:

The clear cell subtype represented 66.7% of RCC, followed by chromophobe (13.7%), papillary (5.2%), and others (14.4%). Furthermore, 72.3% of renal masses were <7.0 cm. The 5-year OS and 10-year OS rates were 86.1% and 69.5%, respectively. The 5-year and 10-year CSS rates were 89.9% and 81.8%, respectively. The demographic and clinical predicting factors for OS in the multivariate analysis were age (HR: 2.978), anemia (HR: 1.44), presence of symptoms at presentation (HR: 1.26), Karnofsky score ≤80 (HR: 2.12), and ASA score ≥ 3 (HR: 1.49). The pathological factors were nodal metastasis (HR: 2.14), peri-renal fat invasion (HR: 2.12), inferior vena cava invasion (HR: 1.61), histologic tumoral necrosis (HR: 1.69), and tumor size >7 cm (HR: 1.64).

Conclusions:

Our findings agreed with those reported for some developed countries. We emphasize that ASA and peri-renal fat invasion as prognostic factors deserve further study. Information regarding microvascular invasion should be regularly incorporated in pathological reports.

Who will build the best "tomorrow"?
Authors: Tompson R.
Published: December 2019

Everyone cares about the best tomorrow. And at the same time, we are facing difficulties. Sometimes we find ourselves so absorbed in the problems of today that we spend all our energy on overcoming them. Day follows day, and “tomorrow” remains vague and uncertain for us. We wake up in the morning and it is already “tomorrow”, but it seems as if it is “yesterday”. Nevertheless, we cannot think about tomorrow today, because today we have enough problems that require our attention, and therefore we are inclined to think about tomorrow. Even Jesus said in ev. Matthew 6:34: “So, don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow itself will take care of its own: it’s enough for every day of its care.”

Značaj udaljenosti u hedoničkom modelu određivanja cijena stanova u Zagrebu
Authors: Slišković Tamara , Tica Josip
Published: December 2019

Cilj
ovog rada je procjena učinaka udaljenosti od središta grada na cijene stambenih
nekretnina u Gradu Zagrebu unutar hedoničkog modela. Model prezentiran u radu
je prvi u hrvatskoj literaturi hedoničkog modeliranja koji istovremeno obuhvaća
varijable udaljenosti, druge lokacijske varijable, interne karakteristike
nekretnina i efekt vremena prodaje stana na zagrebačkom tržištu. Razlika u
odnosu na dosadašnju praksu u Hrvatskoj se sastoji u tome što se do sada
lokacija stambene nekretnine uobičajeno opisivala širim područjima poput
gradskih četvrti. Procjena efekata udaljenosti i drugih lokacijskih varijabli
je provedena unutar hedoničkih modela traženih i postignutih cijena stambenih
nekretnina, odnosno stanova. Dokazano je kako su udaljenost od središta grada i
varijable kojima se opisuje smještaj nekretnine na pojedinim stranama svijeta
statistički značajne za objašnjavanje traženih i stvarnih cijena stanova u
Zagrebu. Nadalje, njihovo uključivanje u hedonički model poboljšava njegovu
prilagođenost stvarnim podacima u odnosu na dosadašnje modele izrađene za
hrvatska stambena tržišta.

Authors: Nefat Ariana , Benazić Dragan
Published: December 2019

The aim of the
paper is to discover the student perceptions of climate changes, so the sample
including the Croatian students of economics has been used. The paper contains
the evaluation of the importance given to climate changes in relation to other
humankind problems, research on the perceptions of the main causes, serious
character of the phenomenon, concerns, perceived knowledge,
evaluation of sources from which their knowledge has been acquired during
education, as well as their openness to new information. When related to the
population of students and the complete population, the main findings do not
significantly deviate from those in the recent studies of the same kind.
However, compared to the earlier research on the complete population sample,
this study indicates that some advancement in understanding climate changes can
be noticed. The theoretical part surveys the given issue, from viewing climate
changes as the world problem to presenting the trendy perceptions of the
complete population; it also comprises the perceptions that are based on some
studies including the complete population and the population of students in
particular. The practical implication would be that, starting from their
awareness of how serious climate changes are and willingness to learn more
about climate changes, students should be provided with more comprehensive
education to become, as future academic citizens, able to make relevant
decisions on the environmental issues. The limitation of the paper refers to
the small sample including the students of economics, and the original quality
of the study lies in the uniquely determined issues resulting from a
combination with a number of previous studies, also contributing to the
research into student perceptions of climate changes. Based on the
included items, further research into their relationships is recommended.
