The article presents the results of pathoanatomical, pathohistological and histochemical researches of the lung tissue for exudative form of the spontaneous infectious peritonitis of cats. The results of researches allow us to analyze pathoanatomical, microstructural changes in lung tissue of cats in various forms of peritonitis infectious and to define the mechanism of the pathological process that cause lethal consequence.The pathoanatomical research of dead bodies of 4 cats has been carried out: a 3 year–old cat and 1 year and 2 month–old cat and 1 year and 5 month–old with symptoms of exudative pleurisy; a 2 year–old cat with clear signs of exudative peritonitis and pleurisy. Peritoneal fluid and lung tissue fragments for cytological and pathohistological examination were selected. At pathoanatomical autopsy accumulation in the thoracal, abdominal cavities and pericardial space fluid with the flakes of fibrin were revealed, thickening of the serous membranes, layering them fibrin. At the pathohistological research in lung tissue noted the consequences of hemodynamic disturbances in the form of multiple perivascular hemorrhage, interstitial pneumonia, atelectasis and emphysematous cells and signs of fibrinous pleurisy in the state organization have been noted. The hardest changes were developed in the structures of the vascular system and are characterized by the damage of vascular endothelium, the development of productive meso– and periarteritis, syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation, stasis and hemolysis of erythrocytes in small vessels of interalveolar septum leading to the oppression of hemocirculation. In lungs, the mononuclear–macrophage infiltration prevailed, especially in periarteritis zone, indicating the presence of productively–necrotic vasculitis.The development of the syndrome disseminated intravascular coagulation led to the formation of multiple micro–blood clots, aggregated cells in vascular channel, the presence of which has led to the development of thrombi and then hemorrhages. The blockade microcirculation, in their turn, led to tissue hypoxia, acidosis and, as a result, distrophic changes in the past. The discovered processes in the vascular system of the lung tissue caused the insufficient flow of blood, irreversible changes of homeostasis and a sharp decline in adaptive capacity.

The article presents research data on indices of lipid peroxidation (TBA–active products and hydroperoxides lipids) in the blood of broiler chickens on the background of vaccination and disease Nyukasla for the actions of vitamins E and C.The study was conducted on three groups of 100 broiler birds each. Control group fed normal chicken feed. The first research group in addition to poultry feed said received – tocopherol acetate in an amount of 0.1 g/kg feed, the second – ascorbic acid 0.25 g/kg feed. The third research group chickens – tocopherol acetate and ascorbic acid at these doses. For research use blood that was in the chicken after decapitation at different ages: 11–, 27–, 34– and 41–day age. The results of performance of different age groups broiler chickens compared with the value of the index poultry 11–day age for vaccination, and a control group of birds.Studies have shown that the content of intermediate and final products of lipid peroxidation in the blood plasma of broilers depends on the age and period of immunization. Feeding high amounts of vitamin E and C in the composition of feed for broiler chickens caused a reduction (p < 0.05 – 0.001) content in plasma lipid hydroperoxides and TBA–active products. PAUL likely lower rates of broiler chickens research groups suggest reducing the negative impact of stress factors on their bodies on the background of vaccination against the disease Nyukasla. These changes were more pronounced in the blood of chickens, which in addition to the basic diet receiving tocopherol acetate and ascorbic acid.

The aim of this research was to study the lipid metabolism in high-yielding dairy cows during different physiological states and maintenance periods. Study was conducted on two groups of animals of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed. The first group was formed in the winter stall-feeding period, the second one during the grazing period. Blood samples were taken four times: the first during dry period, the second, third and fourth were withdrawn at the beginning, on the peak and at the end of lactation period. Results showed increased lipomobilization activity after calving caused on the one hand by growing requirements in metabolites for milk synthesis and on the other hand by inadequate dietary supply with metabolic energy. Highly significant increase of the content of triacylglycerols, total and esterified cholesterol and non-esterified fatty acids in blood of dairy cows was revealed. On the peak and at the end of lactation the level of indicated substances in blood gradually decreased. Influence of the period of the animals maintenance on lipid metabolism was established. For instance, after calving and on the peak of lactation serum levels of triacylglycerols, esterifies cholesterol and non-estherified fatty acids were significantly higher in comparison with such under the same physiological states but during grazing period of maintenance.

Authors: Zhu Mingmin , Liu Sanyang , Jiang Jiewei
Published: October 2016

Bayesian networks (BNs) are one of the most widely used class for machine learning and decision making tasks especially in uncertain domains. However, learning BN structure from data is a typical NP-hard problem. In this paper, we present a novel hybrid algorithm for BN structure learning, called MMABC. It’s based on a recently introduced meta-heuristic, which has been successfully applied to solve a variety of optimization problems: Artificial Bee Colony (ABC). MMABC algorithm consists of three phases: (i) obtain an initial undirected graph by the subroutine MMPC. (ii) Generate the initial population of solutions based on the undirected graph and (iii) perform the ABC algorithm to orient the edges. We describe all the elements necessary to tackle our learning problem, and experimentally compare the performance of our algorithm with two state-of-the-art algorithms reported in the literature. Computational results demonstrate that our algorithm achieves better performance than other two related algorithms.

Published: October 2016

Aiming at the two characteristics of premature convergence of particle swarm optimization that the particle velocity approaches 0 and particle swarm congregate, this paper learns from the annealing function of the simulated annealing algorithm and adaptively and dynamically adjusts inertia weights according to the velocity information of particles to avoid approaching 0 untimely. This paper uses the good uniformity of Anderson chaotic mapping and performs chaos perturbation to part of particles based on the information of variance of the population’s fitness to avoid the untimely aggregation of particle swarm. The numerical simulations of five test functions are performed and the results are compared with several swarm intelligence heuristic algorithms. The results shows that the modified algorithm can keep the population diversity well in the middle stage of the iterative process and it can improve the mean best of the algorithm and the success rate of search.
Incremental and Decremental SVM for Regression
Authors: Gâlmeanu Honorius , Sasu Lucian Mircea , Andonie Razvan
Published: October 2016

Training a support vector machine (SVM) for regression (function approximation) in an incremental/decremental way consists essentially in migrating the input vectors in and out of the support vector set with specific modification of the associated thresholds. We introduce with full details such a method, which allows for defining the exact increments or decrements associated with the thresholds before vector migrations take place. Two delicate issues are especially addressed: the variation of the regularization parameter (for tuning the model performance) and the extreme situations where the support vector set becomes empty. We experimentally compare our method with several regression methods: the multilayer perceptron, two standard SVM implementations, and two models based on adaptive resonance theory.
Lithologic and geophysical properties of shale with a high content of kerogen
Authors: Karpenko I.
Published: October 2016

The key features of unconventional shale hydrocarbon accumulations include the following: a) all source rocks act as low permeability oil and gas res-ervoir rocks requiring no cover rock; b) effective pore space is distributed within the bulk of mature kerogen resulting from katagenetic transformations in organic material. Evaluating the properties of reservoir rocks with a high content of kerogen attracts a lot of interest due to new approaches to unconven-tional hydrocarbon exploration and the challenge of applying the technology of hydraulic fracturing in low-permeability formations.

This research into the lithological and physical properties of facies with a high kerogen content was prompted by a correlation between the sedimentary features of the proven productive shale formations and similar formations of different ages in the Dnieper-Donets basin. The sedimen-tary conditions of shale formation in DDb being similar to those of forming oil and gas producing shales with a high content of kerogen in Utica/Point Pleasant paleobasins, the highest kerogen content was assumed to be associated with certain lithotypes holding interest for further study. Mathematical equations were derived to describe the correlation between radioactivity, uranium content, bulk density, electrical resistivity and organic carbon content for shales from the Utica formation and the DDb shales. There were clarified mathematical dependences of bulk density on organic carbon content for a number of Lower Carboniferous formations in DDb. As using separate mathematical expressions is likely to pro-duce results of doubtful validity, preference should be given to a system of equations to describe the nature of changes in different physical prop-erties of shales depending on the organic component content. That will provide accurate data on the share of kerogen in the studied reservoir rocks. Values of hydrogen and oxygen indices only predict low molecular weight products and their subsequent extraction. The findings on the lithological properties and mathematical relationships have been reported and discussed at international conferences.
Statistical simulation of seismic noise in a multidimensional area in determining frequency characteristics of geological media
Authors: Vyzhva Z. , Fedorenko K. , Vyzhva A.
Published: October 2016

The paper deals with the theory and methods of statistical simulation of random processes and fields based on their spectral decomposition and Kotelnikov-Shennon modified interpolation sums, as well as applying these methods for environmental geophysical monitoring. Statistical simulation of multivariate random fields (those homogeneous in time and homogeneous isotropic in n other variables) are considered to be essential for seismological research into frequency characteristics of geological media. A statistical model and a numerical algorithm of simulating random fields are built on the basis of Kotelnikov-Shennon modified interpolation decomposition to generate adequate realizations of seismic noise. The paper examines real-valued random fields ξ(t,x),tϵÎR,xÎRn, those homogeneous in time and homogeneous isotropic ones relative to spatial variables in the multidimensional space. It also considers approximation of random fields by the random fields with a bounded spectrum.

There is made an analogue of the Kotelnikov–Shannon theorem for random fields with a bounded spectrum. Besides, there are obtained estimates of the mean-square approximation of random fields in the space R´Rn by a model constructed with the help of spectral decomposition and Kotelnikov–Shannon interpolation formula. The paper provides a mechanism for statistical simulation of Gaussian random fields with a bounded spectrum; namely, those homogeneous in time and homogeneous isotropic ones relative to spatial variables in the multidimensional space. Proved have been the theorems of the mean-square approximation of random fields (those homogeneous in time and homogeneous isotropic ones relative to n- other variables) by special partial sums. A simulation method was used to formulate an algorithm of numerical simulation by means of these theorems. There are also considered ways to carry out spectral analysis of generated seismic noise realizations. Finally, there have been developed universal methods of statistical simulation (Monte Carlo methods) of multi-parameter seismology data for generating seismic noise on 2D and 3D grids of the required detail and regularity.
Ancient origins of caesarean section and contextual rendition of Krishna’s birth
Authors: Bali Sharadendu , Utaal Maneshwar Singh
Published: October 2016

A Caesarean section is defined as “the surgical termination of pregnancy or delivery by operative opening of the uterus”. Caesarean sections ancestory can be traced back to the ancient (Graeco-Roman) world. Though there is very little information still extant about practices of this kind in antiquity, there are many folktales and popular stories from all over the world that tell of people being born in this fashion. Indian religious books describe the birth of Buddha through his mother’s right flank. Brahma was believed to be born through the umbilicus of his mother. Sage Sushruta, a founder of ancient Hindu medicine mentions the importance of performing a post-mortem caesarean section in his medical treatise “Sushruta Samhita”. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that knowledge and practice of this type of procedure was practiced in ancient Greece, ancient Rome and even ancient India. It is these early practices, from this part of the world, which are thought to have formed the foundations for what is known today in the modern Western medicine as the “caesarean section”. Therefore it is paramount to explore the practices and trace the history of this nature in the in more detail.

Published: October 2016

A "width of a shape" concept considered in relation to variable-width objects is used as the integral shape descriptor for image recognition tasks. The approach to the definition of this concept is based on covering the figure of interest with certain-size disks. A function that defines the area of disk cover against the disk size is used as a shape descriptor. An analytical method for calculating the area of disk cover for polygonal figures is proposed. The possibility to approximate by polygonal figures binary raster images and objects with non-linear boundaries makes the approach universal. The proposed method is based on the medial representation of objects as a skeleton and a radial function. The method provides high accuracy and computational efficiency. The efficiency of the proposed shape descriptor is illustrated by the example of its application to the digital font recognition problem.

Rhizome rot caused by Pythium spp and Fusarium spp is one of the most devastating diseases of ginger in most of the ginger growing areas of the Nepal. Realizing the context for development of alternative control strategies to reduce dependency on synthetic fungicides, a field experiment on management of rhizome rot disease of ginger using eco-friendly natural products was conducted at GRP, Kapurkot, Salyan during 2012/2013. Fresh and fermented extract of Artemesia vulgaris Linn (Titepati), Urtica dioica (Sisnoo), Zanthoxylumarmatum DC. (Timbur), Allium cepa L., (Onion), Allium sativum L. (Garlic), Capsicum annuum L. (Chili), Nicotiana tabacum (Tobacoo) along with Jeevatu (a mixed product of beneficial microbes) and biofit were tested in the experiment. Experiment was conducted in the naturally inoculated sick plot in RCB design with eight treatments replicated thrice. Each experimental plot area was 3m x1.5m (4.5m2). Observation on plant number, tiller clump-1, plant height, disease incidence, fresh rhizome yield, disease rhizome yield andmother rhizome yield were recorded and evaluated using statistical analysis tool MSTAT-C. Fresh rhizome yield for all the treatments were found lower than national average. Jeevatu (5%) treated plot had highest fresh rhizome yield (7.70 m t ha 1) followed by (onion+garlic+chili) + urine (1:3) fermented extract (4.88 mt ha 1). Similarly, rhizome rot scale (1.66), disease incidence (41.96%) and the diseased rhizome yield (0.74 mt ha 1) was shown least on jeevatu treated plot. Highest disease rhizome yield (2.37 mt ha 1) was obtained in the treatment titepati + urine (1:2) fermented extract followed by control(2.07 mt ha 1).

A field study was conducted at experimental farm of the Regional Research Station, Punjab Agricultural University, Gurdaspur during rabi season of 2014-15 to find out the effect of different sources of organic manures and their combinations on weed growth and wheat grain yield. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with eight treatments namely, control (T1), recommended dose of NPK+ weedicide (T2), farmyard manure + poultry manure (T3), farmyard manure + bagasse ash (T4), farmyard manure + rice husk ash (T5), poultry manure + bagasse ash (T6), poultry manure + rice husk ash (T7), and bagasse ash + rice husk ash (T8). The results indicated that maximum dry weight of grassy weeds (2.65 g/m2) and broad leaf weeds (2.10 g/m2) was recorded in treatment where poultry manure was used in combination with farmyard manure whereas minimum dry weight of grassy (1.15 g/m2) and broad leaf weeds (1.00 g/m2) was obtained in treatment where these were controlled chemically. The minimum grain yield was obtained in control treatment where neither organic manure was added nor weeds were controlled by using herbicide. Among different combinations of organic manures, it was found that wherever poultry manure was used in combinations, higher yields were obtained due to higher plant height, maximum number of effective tillers/m2, maximum spike length in comparison to other manure combinations. Within the treatment combinations, rice husk ash combinations resulted in higher yield and also effectively controlled the weeds as compared to bagasse ash combinations.

An efficient Agrobacterium mediated transformation system, from which transgenic tropical maize plants was directly generated without previous crosses with laboratory or temperate lines was established in present study. Experimental evaluations are focused on two main issues: i) Establishment of appropriate tissue culture conditions, which induced somatic embryogenesis from the immature embryo cells, and ii) The delivery of T-DNA toward these cells. A high rate of embryogenic calli, generated from immature embryo was obtained when 2-4 D (4mgL-1) was added to the MS based induction medium. Regeneration rate was observed upto 19 plants per gram in the calli by using BAP and KIN at 0.5mgL-1. Regarding the Agrobacterium strains evaluated for their transformation capability on the tropical maize line MU-2092 used, best results are obtained from the strain when applied at OD 550nm= 0.5-1.0. Physical micro-wounds before the Agro-infection proved to be an excellent way to promote both the T-DNA transfer toward the immature embryo and the acceleration in rates of transient GUS expression when compared with particle bombardment. The highest frequencies of transient GUS expression corresponding to the embryos as well as the regeneration of whole transgenic plants emerged from them, was obtained using immature embryos wounded by bombarding at 80 lb/in2. Analysis of the progenies confirmed the sexual transmission of the introduced genes and their stable expression.

This study was aimed at investigating to check the effects of long term consumption of varying concentrations of alcohol on gastric acid secretions and the histomorphometry of the stomach of adult male Wistar rats, and the possible ameliorative effect of omega-3 fish oil. Eighty (80) adult male Wistar rats weighing 180-230 gm were used. The rats were divided into eight groups containing ten (10) rats each group. Group I served as the control; Groups II, III and IV were given 5%, 20% and 40% alcohol respectively; Groups V, VI and VII were given 5% alcohol+Omega-3 fish oil; 20% alcohol+Omega-3 fish oil and 40% alcohol+Omega-3 fish oil, respectively. The Group VIII was administered Omega-3 fish oil alone. The alcohol was given at a dose of 0.005 ml/g body weight once daily using an orogastric canular. The Omega-3 fish oil was given at a dose of 0.2 ml/g body weight. Alcohol administration lasted for twelve weeks, at the end of which the rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Gastric secretions were estimated, and tissues samples from the stomach collected for histomorphometric studies. The results showed that 20% alcohol caused a significant increase in gastric acid secretion when compared with the control and omega-3 only group. 40% and omega-3 group caused a decrease in gastric acid secretion when compared with the control. The histomorphometry of the stomach revealed a decrease in parietal cell and mucous cell count with increasing alcohol concentrations. Omega-3 administration showed only mild amelioration to these digestive alterations.

Eritrea is one of the developing countries located in the Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa. Eritrea is experiencing a growing cancer problem, but little is presently known on tumor patterns, cancer epidemiology and ethnic or environmental cancer risk factors. A retrospective study was carried out on the cancer incidence in hospitals of Eritrea and Eritrean National Health Laboratory (ENHL) from 2000 to 2010 using data recorded from the Management Information System (MIS) in ENHL that recorded all cancer cases from across the country. The main objectives of this study were to review the current status of knowledge, summarizing local data, as well as to provide the first baseline data on the cancer incidence in Eritrea. This study was carried out retrospectively and quantitatively by collecting, abstracting, analyzing, coding and interpreting of data recorded in MIS at ENHL in the eleven years of study using CanReg5 software. Generally 19,636 numbers of cases were confirmed by cytology and histology recorded at MIS through the year of 2000 to 2010; out of these 9,482 cases were positive for cancer. From the total positive cancer cases, 39.18% were males and 60.82% were females. The age standardized rate for all cancers in Eritrean hospitals and ENHL from 2000 to 2010 both in men and women combined were 20.3 per 100,000.The rate was higher in women 11.2 per 100,000 than men 9.1 per 100,000. In general, it can be concluded from this research that the incidence of cancer in Eritrean hospitals and ENHL were increased annually from 2000 to 2010, especially in females.The trend of the incidence is increasing with age, therefore the gradual aging of the population might increase the number of cancer cases in Eritrea.

Today, the style of light construction materials used in building is one of the most important factors in reducing building's dead load and better performance of the structures in the earthquake. One of the ways to reduce the structure weight is to use lightweight blocks instead of using traditional materials. The main purpose of this research is to compare density, compressive strength and water absorption volume of non-load-bearing lightweight blocks made of natural and artificial lightweight aggregates. Scoria lightweight aggregates of Sanandaj, Ghorveh mine, pumice in Tabriz, Bostanabad mine, and Leca in Leca enterprise have been used to make the samples. Given the importance of the materials used, grading of coarse-grained materials has been conducted based on the standard of 7657 and grading of fine materials have been conducted based on the standard of 302.The experiments' results show that Scoria blocks due to hard texture, and high mechanical resistance of their lightweight aggregates, have had higher compressive strength, and density and lower water absorption volume compared to pumice and Lika lightweight aggregate blocks. Pumice blocks despite having desirable compressive strength and lower density compared to the two other blocks have higher water absorption volume, and do not meet the standard conditions. This same factor causes it faces with less interest. Among these Lika blocks with density of 1151.94 (kg per cubic meter) below 2000 kilograms per cubic meter of Iran density standard of 7782 (28-day compressive strength of 2.57 MPa), higher than 2.5 MPa of Iran compressive strength standard of 7782 (and water absorption volume of 282.92 kg per cubic meter) below 288 kilograms per cubic meter of Iran water absorption volume standard of 7782 (as a non-load-bearing lightweight block) have been diagnosed desirable.
Managing Late‐Season Foliar Nitrogen Fertilization to Increase Grain Protein for Winter Wheat

Published: October 2016

Late‐season applications of foliar N have the potential to increase protein content in hard red winter (HRW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), but the optimal N management strategy and economics of this decision have yet to be determined for the U.S. southern Great Plains. This study was conducted to determine the expected net return from HRW wheat managed for enhanced protein and marketed to receive a protein premium. Field experiments were conducted during the 2011 to 2013 harvest years at two Oklahoma locations to estimate the grain yield and protein content response of HRW wheat to N source (urea ammonium nitrate [UAN] or a low salt, controlled release [LSCR] specialty N), N timing (flag leaf or post‐flowering), and N rate (0, 7, 13, or 27 kg N ha−1). Late‐season N treatments significantly influenced protein, but did not significantly increase or decrease grain yield. However, the returns to protein management were US$10 to $194 ha−1 less than treatments that did not receive late‐season foliar N. Sensitivity analysis indicated that protein management could be profitable if wheat prices increase, but changes in N prices had only small impacts on net returns. Breakeven protein premiums ranged from $0.014 to $0.020 kg−1 suggesting the need to produce wheat with 12 to 13% protein content. Results from this study indicate that the ability to consistently achieve HRW wheat with this level of protein is limited. Therefore, to economically manage HRW wheat for protein content in the southern Great Plains will likely require within‐year/location‐specific N management.

Core Ideas

Late‐season foliar N applications may increase wheat grain protein percentage.

Late‐season foliar N applications are costly.

Southern Plains producers do not routinely receive a premium for high protein wheat.

Additional returns were insufficient to offset the additional cost.
Isorhythmic Atrioventricular Dissociation with haemodynamic instability in a patient with a pacemaker

Published: October 2016

We report probable isorhythmic atrioventricular dissociation (IRD) causing significant hypotension in a 94 year‐old male with a dual chamber pacemaker undergoing a craniotomy. Poorly responsive to beta‐blockade and escalating doses of vasopressors, hypotension and dysrhythmia were successfully treated with induction of asynchronous atrioventricular (AV) pacing. In patients with reduced cardiac reserve, the loss of coordinated atrial and ventricular activity, as in IRD, can substantially reduce cardiac output. In these patients, methods to restore AV synchrony should be quickly sought.

The number of digital documents has been increasing exponentially therefore automatic document classification become very important. Feature selection is needed in document classification. One of the methods to select features in document classification was Maximal Marginal Relevance for Feature Selection (MMR-FS), but it is complex. In this paper, we propose a new method in feature selection. The proposed method consists of two phase, the first is implementing Information Gain for each document and the second is implementing MMR-FS. In the conducted experiment our new method can attain 86% accuracy. This new method could improve the effectiveness of MMR-FS and retain its accuracy.
OBECNOŚĆ WARTOŚCI W SZWEDZKIM SYSTEMIE WYCHOWAWCZO-EDUK ACYJNYM
Authors: KRÓL JERZY
Published: October 2016

W artykule pokazano wartości leżące u podstaw szwedzkiego systemu wy- chowawczo-edukacyjnego. Najwyraźniej dostrzegalna jest koncentracja na indywidualnej wartości dziecka. Owocuje to, zwłaszcza w praktyce szkolnej, powszechnym stosowaniem metody indywidualizacji (mimo jej krytyki), podkreślaniem równości wszystkich ludzi i koncentracją na prawach dzieci. Rodzina jest postrzegana jako środowisko, które temu zagraża. Dużą wagę przykłada się do wychowania szkolnego, w którym na pierwszym miejscu stawia się wartości praktyczne i umiejętności. Nie może być ono wiązane z jakimś jednym systemem etyczno-moralnym. Takie ateistyczne i gnostyczne założenia wycho- wawcze budzą szereg kontrowersji, zwłaszcza wśród rodziców w odniesieniu do ich prawa do przekazania dzieciom wartości religijnych i zasad moralnych oraz lekcji religii w szkole. Jednak w Szwecji wartości te i prawa mają o wiele mniejszą wagę niż wartość postępu, na którą ukierunkowany jest system wychowania i edukacji tego kraju.
MIEJSCE SYSTEMU WYCHOWANIA PREWENCYJNEGO WEDŁUG JANA BOSKO WE WSPÓŁCZESNEJ SYSTEMATYCE MYŚLI PEDAGOGICZNEJ
Authors: ŚLIWERSKI BOGUSŁAW
Published: October 2016

Przedmiotem analizy jest miejsce pedagogii św. Jana Bosko we współczesnej systematyce myśli pedagogicznej oraz w leksykografii nauk o wychowaniu. Nie zajmuję się recepcją i aktualizacją systemu wychowawczego św. Jana Bosko w obrębie pedagogiki katolickiej, gdyż jest to zadanie dla księży, sióstr i świeckich naukowców bezpośrednio z nią związanych. Zwolennicy tej pedagogiki powinni mieć świadomość tego, w jakim zakresie jest obecna, reinterpretowana, marginalizowana lub wypaczana koncepcja przedstawiciela jednego z wciąż – moim zdaniem – niedocenianych podejść do systemu wychowania, który nie tylko nie stracił na aktualności, ale znacznie wyprzedził swoją epokę. Pedagodzy myśli chrześcijańskiej, a pedagogiki katolickiej w szczególności, są zobowiązani z jednej strony do pielęgnowania jej we własnym środowisku, ale z drugiej strony także do włączania jej do obecnych klasyfikacji, typologii, leksykonów i rozwiązań praktycznych. Mimo że pe- dagogia uprzedzająca św. Jana Bosko liczy sobie już prawie dwa wieki, to jednak dopiero teraz, w kapitalizmie ponowoczesnym, może stać się jednym z najbardziej efektywnych podejść do pracy z osobami wykluczanymi, już wykluczonymi czy zagrożonymi wyklu- czeniem społecznym.
