Published: May 2020

Competitiveness is closely related to business management, operational efficiency, and new approaches to the management of search. One of the most important and intractable problems of the transport companies remain effective management of the problem, covering a wide range of issues. This is a rational organizational structures, which are not always meeting the company's strategic objectives, set up; advanced management methods, which often are only the failed experience fitting of foreign countries without the necessary adaptation; management of democratization; the staff, especially top-level managers, the potential and environmental non-compliance, the lack of ability to understand the overall economic development trends, make informed decisions, to ensure the company's competitive capacity (Gal J. 2008). In order shape the competitive enterprises realistically, it is necessary to use consistently all opportunities to change the heads of management. This will help not only the traditional methods of enhancing their competence, but the new management philosophy and the installation of plants. The faster and clearer our transport business leaders understand that the company's competitiveness is not only the subject they are and all the staff, the greater the opportunity to become a fully fledged market economy. Recently, rapid changes during the period of not less important is the manager and the social competence, i.e., the effectiveness of social behavior, the ability to adapt to the dynamically changing environment and to take corresponding changes in the decisions. Social competence criteria - this consist of the whole social skills (which includes both verbal and non verbal communication skills) the ability to form interpersonal relationships, be well-liked in group, the ability to achieve the goals. Management has the competence to disclose not only the knowledge and experience, but personal qualities / characteristics as well. Personal competence - the self-assessment of skills and personal characteristics of the combination (of humor to work, motivation, development and the desire to work, and beyond), which is not the level of knowledge, but the employee's personal characteristics (personal qualities, character and mental qualities, behavioral targeting). Therefore, a lot of career success depends on how the graduate is able to evaluate a particular enterprise or workplace evolving situation and adopt a self-optimal management decisions. Of course, professional, capable practical situations to make the right transportation management solutions, development inevitably must rely on general subjects; the learning is based on certain definitions and classification of knowledge systems. In this article will be submitted to the Lithuanian and Slovenian transport expertise in the study results.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the evolution of the analytical performance of the laboratories participating in the Spanish society of laboratory medicine (SEQCML) external quality assurance (EQA) programmes during its 30 years of operation and to compare it with the performance of other EQA programmes to establish whether the results are similar. The results obtained during this period are evaluated by applying the biological variability (BV) and state of the art-derived quality specifications. In addition, the results are compared with those obtained by other EQA programme organisations. It is noted that the laboratories participating in the EQA–SEQCML programmes have improved their performance over 30 years of experience and that the specifications derived from biological variation are achievable. It is difficult to compare EQA programmes, due to lack of accessibility and the differences in the design of these programmes (control materials, calculations used and analytical specifications established). The data from this study show that for some biological magnitudes the results obtained by the programmes are not yet harmonised, although efforts are being made to achieve this. Organisers of EQA programmes should also join the harmonisation effort by providing information on their results to enable comparison.
Multiplicity of concentrating solutions for a class of magnetic Schrödinger-Poisson type equation
Authors: Liu Yueli , Li Xu , Ji Chao 
Published: May 2020

AbstractIn this paper, we study the following nonlinear magnetic Schrödinger-Poisson type equation(εi∇−A(x))2u+V(x)u+ϵ−2(|x|−1∗|u|2)u=f(|u|2)uin R3,u∈H1(R3,C),$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left\{\!\begin{aligned}&\Big(\frac{\varepsilon}{i}\nabla-A(x)\Big)^{2}u+V(x)u+\epsilon^{-2}(\vert x\vert^{-1}\ast \vert u\vert^{2})u = f(|u|^{2})u\quad\hbox{in }\mathbb{R}^3,\\&u\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{3}, \mathbb{C}),\end{aligned}\right. \end{array}$$whereϵ> 0,V: ℝ3→ ℝ andA: ℝ3→ ℝ3are continuous potentials. Under a local assumption on the potentialV, by variational methods, penalization technique, and Ljusternick-Schnirelmann theory, we prove multiplicity and concentration properties of nontrivial solutions forε> 0 small. In this problem, the functionfis only continuous, which allow to consider larger classes of nonlinearities in the reaction.
Neurotrophin-3 accelerates reendothelialization through inducing EPC mobilization and homing
Authors: Chen Yan , Cao Jian , Peng Weixia , Chen Wen 
Published: May 2020

AbstractRapid endothelialization is an effective way to treat intimal hyperplasia after intravascular stent implantation. Blood vessels and nerves coordinate with each other in function, while neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) is an important class of nerve growth factors. Our study found that NT-3 promoted endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) mobilization, and the proportion of EPCs in peripheral blood was increased by 1.774 times compared with the control group. Besides, NT-3 promoted the expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), and chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) in EPCs, which increased by 59.89%, 74.46%, and 107.7%, respectively, compared with the control group. Transwell experiments showed that NT-3 enhanced the migration of EPCs by 1.31 times. Flow chamber experiments demonstrated that NT-3 captured more circulating EPCs. As shown by ELISA results, NT-3 can promote the paracrine of vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin-8, MMP-9, and SDF-1 from EPCs. Such increased angiogenic growth factors further accelerated the closure of endothelial cell scratches. Additionally, EPC-conditioned medium in the NT-3 group significantly inhibited the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Then animal experiments also illustrated that NT-3 prominently accelerated the endothelialization of injured carotid artery. In short, NT-3 accelerated rapid reendothelialization of injured carotid artery through promoting EPC mobilization and homing.

Gorgias en el Banquete de Platón. Ecos del Encomio de Helena en el discurso de Agatón
Authors: Bieda Esteban 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
After Agathon's speech in Plato's Symposium, Socrates takes a little time to make some comments about it. One of these comments is that the speech brought Gorgias to his memory (198 c 2-5). In this article we intend to track down in three complementary levels the diverse reasons why this recollection took place: (A) regarding the form of the speech, we will try to show that there is an equivalence in how both Gorgias in his Encomium to Helen and the character of Agathon in the Symposium construct their respective logoi; (B) regarding the style of writing, we will see the frequent use in the poet's speech of the rhetoric resource of "saying things alike'' (isa legein) usually ascribed to Gorgias; (C) finally, regarding the contents of both speeches we will try to show that many of the elements used by the sophist to praise the logos in his Encomium to Helen may be found, more or less, in Agathon's praise of Eros. The article will try to show, thus, which are the precise elements that may have made Socrates remember Gorgias after listening to the tragic poet.
Se per Platone 9/8 non e un rapporto epimore. Su una curiosa esegesi tecnica del Timeo (Theon. Smyrn. exp. 74, 15-75, 25)
Authors: Petrucci Federico M. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The classification of 9/8 as epimoric ratio is not only a basic arithmetical notion, but also an important technical ground for Pythagorean- Platonic musical theory. Why then does Theon of Smyrna avoid this point? The common explanation, which refers to Theon's inadequate technical knowledge, is unsatisfactory and aprioristic. A better solution can be found in the exegetical nature of the Expositio. Theon's technical perspective is inspired by a distinctive understanding of the "musical theory'' of the Timaeus.
Le temps et l'ȃme chez Plotin. À propos des Ennaédes vi 5 [23] 11; iv 4 [28] 15-16; iii 7 [45] 11
Authors: Karfík Filip 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
There is a remarkable difference between the accounts of time in Plotinus' Enneads vi 5 [23] 11, iv 4 [28] 15-16 and iii 7 [45] 11. In vi 5 [23] 11, Plotinus does not introduce time into soul, nor into a part or power of it because he holds that soul belongs to the sort of being which has no extension, spatial or temporal. In iv 4 [28] 15-16, he considers the thesis that time, in its very existence, is linked to the soul but he rejects the idea that there is time in the World Soul. In iii 7 [45] 11, however, he affirms that time exists only in soul, more precisely in a part or power of it, and suggests that it is first and foremost the World Soul that makes itself temporal. It seems that Plotinus' philosophy of time developed over the years. From the emphasis laid on the thesis that soul has no spatial extension, characteristic of his earlier writings, Plotinus interest shifted gradually to the question whether or not it has a temporal extension. He also seems to have changed his mind on the question of the temporality of the World Soul. Finally, while speaking, in iii 7 [45] 11, of the soul's making itself temporal, he apparently contends that just a specific part or power of soul ± be it the World Soul or the human soul - is doing so.
Le azioni compiute sotto costrizione, le azioni “misteˮ e la nozione di volontarieta
Authors: Aronadio Francesco 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The interpretation of Eth. Nic. C 1, and particularly of the notion of ``voluntariness'' and ``involuntariness'' is often distorted by the inappropriate overlap of questions deriving from modern moral philosophy. Firstly, this paper presents the scholarly debate on the topics frequently connected with the Aristotelian concepts of ἑκούσιον/ἀκούσιον (determinism/indeterminism, mixed acts and dirty hands theory, mixed acts vs. instrumental acts, role of circumstances, etc.). The next step is the analysis of the relevant passages of Eth. Nic. through a close examination of the relationship between the notions of ``choice'' and ``voluntariness'': what is crucial for the voluntariness of an action is the individuation of the efficient cause. On this basis it is possible to clarify the role and the significance of mixed acts and of other kinds of actions described by Aristotle. Finally, the topics previously displayed are re-examined in order to shed some light on the distortions arising from the adoption of inadequate lens in interpreting ancient texts.
Elements and Knowledge in the Theaetetus
Authors: Tian Jie 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Plato's Theaetetus develops an inquiry concerning the definition of knowledge. Famously, after Socrates and Theaetetus have discussed the three candidates for the definition of knowledge, the end of the dialogue seems to leave us in a situation of aporia. The present article focuses on the last hypothesis raised in the dialogue and tries to determine whether this hypothesis can be seen, under appropriate qualification, as acceptable within a Platonic framework. This hypothesis is connected with a dream theory that unfolds two crucial factors for understanding the definition of knowledge, i.e. elements and logos. So the aim of this paper is twofold: on the one hand, to make clear what elements properly are; on the other hand, to find an account of logos suitable to make it a necessary condition for the definition of knowledge. As will emerge from this paper, the first two candidates for the definition of knowledge are indeed not sufficient for gaining an adequate definition, but they nonetheless foreshadow the third hypothesis and are necessary conditions for understanding the third one.
Der politikos aner als pantos oneirokritikos bei Philon von Alexandria. Prolegomena zu einer interpretation der Schrift De Iosepho
Authors: De Brasi Diego 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In his only treatise explicitly devoted to the life of the statesman, De Iosepho, Philo of Alexandria expresses ambivalent views about politics. A careful examination of the line of argument of this work shows, however, that Philo’s views can be essentially read as a development in negative terms of his statement that politics is only an “addition” to virtue and wisdom. Especially, he argues that the statesman is «by all means an interpreter of dreams», since his activity has its limits within the human condition, which - because of its uncertainty and confusion - resembles daydreaming.
Heraclitus, 22 B 14 DK
Authors: Vítek Tomáš 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The article presents a reconstruction of Heraclitus’ saying in DK 22 B 14, which is generally thought to be two discontinuous statements (B 14a and B 14b), inorganically linked by a commentary by Clement of Alexandria. Although this sentence of Clement’s is almost unanimously rejected as a Christian misinterpretation of the pagan mysteries, the author of the article attempts to demonstrate that the core of the sentence does come almost certainly from Heraclitus. All that Clement did was to change the meaning of the sentence by changing the subjects for the objects. This new reading of the fragment makes it possible to link the two parts of the saying in a meaningful way, and at the same time to shed light on what were probably Heraclitus’ main criticisms of the initiates of the four different mysteries and the initiatory cults (B 14a). This is supported by a detailed historical and religious analysis of the probable meaning of the different designations for the initiates and the possible interconnections between them.
Empedocles on the Identity of the Elements
Authors: O’Brien Denis 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Empedocles’ repeated description of his four “roots” or elements by the repetition of three seemingly simple words (αὐτά + ἐστίν + ταῦτα) has constantly defied explanation. If the verb is given a copulative function, the result appears to be a pointless tautology (“these things are themselves”). If it is given an existential value, the result is puzzlingly abstruse (“these things themselves are”). Translators therefore commonly opt for a loose paraphrase, where one word out of three is not translated at all (αὐτά) and an adverb (“only”) is added, seemingly from nowhere (“only these things are”). The solution to the puzzle is to be found in Empedocles’ reaction to his older contemporary, Anaxagoras. Empedocles’ repeated description is a covert criticism of Anaxagoras’ curious claim that “in everything there is a part of everything”.
Ανθρωπος περιπατεῖ. Los argumentos del tercer hombre megáricos
Authors: Gardella Mariana 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The Platonic Theory of Forms has received many critiques from many critics, among which stands out the well-known “Third man argument”. Although traditionally the studies about this subject only have considered the versions of the argument introduced by Plato and Aristotle, the Megarian philosophers also developed other versions of the same reasoning. In this paper I would like to analyze the argument which is attributed by Alexander of Aphrodisias to “the sophists” and to Polyxenus in his commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics. I will try to show that the main point of these objections is to criticize the homonymy of the universal terms, a problem that Plato evokes in his Parmenides, where he also points out some difficulties in relation to the semantics of his own theory.
The Tragic Condition of Philosophy: Plato’s Apology as Tragedy
Authors: Racket Andrés Federico 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
This paper argues that Plato’s Apology can be read as a tragedy analogous to Oedipus Tyrannus. Jacob Howland has argued that the elements of tragedy laid out Aristotle’s Poetics are present, but the relation of the Apology to Oedipus Tyrannus and other aspects of Sophocles’ tragedy have not been noted. With this procedure, Plato means to argue that a philosopher should hide his refutations more than Socrates did.
Effect of montmorillonite on PEBAX® 1074-based mixed
matrix membranes to be used in humidifiers in proton exchange membrane fuel
cells
Authors: Li Weiye , Chang Zhihong , Lin Liming , Xu Xiaoyan 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
To meet the increasing requirements of membrane humidification in proton exchange
membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), a series of montmorillonite
(MMT)/PEBAX® 1074 mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated
using the solvent casting method. Pristine MMT and poly(oxyalkylene)amine
(APOP)-modified MMT were added as the filler. Using the XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and TEM, the
morphology and chemical structure of MMT during modification were investigated. Using
the tests of water vapor permeability, air permeability, water contact angle, and
crystallinity, the effects of montmorillonite on membrane properties were
investigated. The results showed that surface hydrophilicity and crystallinity of
MMMs increased as the MMT content increases, which leads to higher vapor permeability
and selectivity than the pure PEBAX® 1074 membrane. After
modification, APOP-MMT/PEBAX® 1074 MMMs showed better performance
in vapor permeability and vapor/air selectivity. The best selectivity was 1.7
× 105, which is three times higher than that of pure
PEBAX® 1074 membrane.
Modification ofCeiba pentandracellulose for drug release applications
Authors: Peraza-Ku Silvia Argelia , Cervantes-Uc José Manuel , Escobar-Morales Beatriz , Uribe-Calderon Jorge Alonso 
Published: May 2020

AbstractTubular fibers (raw and wax-free) fromCeiba pentandra(CP) were cross-linked with butane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) at different concentrations to obtain a porous biodegradable medium for drug release applications. Chlorhexidine diacetate (CHX) was added to the cross-linked fibers for drug release studies. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy results indicated that the cross-linked fibers with a 5:1 fiber:BTCA ratio presented the higher cross-linking density. CHX was added at different concentrations (8% and 16% wt/wt); the elemental analysis indicated that CHX was loaded up to 7.99 wt%.In vitrostudies showed a burst release of CHX within the first 3 h. CHX release kinetics was described using several models, with the Korsmeyer–Peppas equation, which adjusted better to the experimental data. The results indicated that the CP fibers are a feasible material for drug release applications.
Preparation of novel amphoteric polyacrylamide and its synergistic
retention with cationic polymers
Authors: Yang Kaiji , Chen Jinghuan , Fu Qingjin , Dun Xuji , Yao Chunli 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
A novel amphoteric polyacrylamide (PDAA) was prepared by inverse emulsion
polymerization. The influence of its cationic degree and molecular weight on
retention property was discussed. Then, the chemical structure and micromorphology of
the obtained PDAA were characterized by Fourier infrared spectrum (FTIR), NMR
hydrogen spectrum (1H NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and
scanning electron microscope (SEM). Finally, the synergistic retention effects of
polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PDADMAC), cationic starch (CS), cationic guar
gum (CHPG), cationic chitosan (CTS), and polyamine (PA) on the novel PDAA were
investigated. The results showed that the optimum cationic degree and molecular
weight of PDAA were 25% and 4 million, respectively. The chemical structure of PDAA
was confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR, and GPC. SEM showed that the particle size
of PDAA was between 150 and 600 nm, and the particles were very stable because
no broken particles were found. In addition, most of the five cationic polymers have
good synergistic retention effect on PDAA, and the order of synergistic effect was
PDAA/PDADMAC > PDAA/CTS > PDAA/CS > PDAA/CHPG >
PDAA/PA.
