The determinants of travel mode choice: the case of Łódź, Poland
Authors: Wójcik Szymon 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
In this study, potential factors influencing the decisions made by citizens of the city of Łódź, Poland, regarding the choice of transportation mode used in their daily travel activities were examined. In addition to a brief literature review, an empirical study was performed. Data from a previous quality-of-life study were used to enhance the scope of explanatory variables in a regression model. In order to identify the determinants of travel behaviour, binary logistic regression models were used. The results show that socio-demographic characteristics of respondents and household access to a car most influenced transport mode choices. Also, the relationship between geographic distances and subjective opinions regarding public transport were found to be statistically significant. The determinants for choosing either public or private transportation varied.
(Net)Working CLIL in Portugal
Authors: Ellison Maria 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Recent growth in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) across educational levels in Portugal has positioned it in European Commission reports (Eurydice 2012; 2017) and attracted much needed attention to the educational practice which warrants further in-depth exploration in order to better understand it and ensure quality provision in the country. This article explores the concept of CLIL at work in Portugal and highlights its brief trajectory to date as well as the challenges and opportunities it presents teacher educators and researchers. It provides an overview of the recently established Working CLIL research strand of TEALS (Teacher Education and Applied Language Studies) which is actively engaged in connecting CLIL communities in Portugal and beyond.
What Students Tell Teachers about Practices that Integrate Subjects with English in a Lower Secondary School in Portugal
Authors: Piacentini Valentina , Simões Ana Raquel , Vieira Rui Marques 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) is an approach thought to provide, mainly during Content (non-language, subject) classes, a meaningful environment at school for the use and learning of a foreign language (FL), and may also improve conditions and practices of the specific subject. Moreover, CLIL can represent a research context to gauge the importance of language-aware teaching as is the case with the Portuguese “English Plus” project (EP), in which History and Science are taught/ learnt with/in English at lower secondary school. Our doctoral research is designed as a descriptive-explanatory case study on the EP project and its participants (English and Science teachers, former and current students). More specifically, this work focuses on students and shows their relationship with the EP approach and (dis)advantages in learning a subject with a FL. Data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire and interview, with subsequent content analysis. The importance of “integrated learning” and of diverse strategies used by the teacher to support/scaffold learning is present in students’ perspectives which may further influence teaching practices
Developing Learners’ Intercultural Understanding through a CLIL Approach
Authors: Koro Ruth 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Language and culture are interconnected and teaching a language should also be concerned with offering learners a wide range of opportunities to gain insights into other cultures. Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) approaches have an invaluable contribution to make towards developing learners’ intercultural understanding (ICU), by making the content culturally relevant to the language of instruction. Within this paradigm, this paper presents the findings of an action-based research project seeking to develop ICU among secondary learners of French in England, through the teaching of a series of lessons following a CLIL approach. Stemming from its findings, it is proposed here that a renewed understanding of CLIL be defined, in which CLIL would stand for Content and Language Intercultural Learning. Within this framework, the content would be conceptualised through the lens of culture, to offer learners opportunities to compare and contrast experiences and viewpoints, to develop their cultural knowledge, as well as their intercultural skills and attitudes – by means of exposure, independent exploration and collaborative work. The language, still driven by the content, would encompass both the language of learning, and the language required through the learning processes - and would be language that is both accessible and cognitively challenging. Learning would occur through cognitively demanding content that is real, relevant and engaging, yet accessible to all.
Drivers of Land Abandonment in the Irish Uplands: A Case Study
Authors: O’Rourke Eileen 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Land abandonment is a complex multi-dimensional process with interlinked economic, environmental and social aspects. This paper presents a case study of an isolated hill sheep farming community in SW Ireland, where a combination of low incomes, ageing population, lack of successors and strong environmental constraints are perceived to be among the main factors leading to their demise. However, the uplands they have grazed for generations are of high nature conservation value, and depend on active management to maintain both their ecology and landscapes. The research, which is based on a combination of interviews and farming systems research, highlights the misfit between what the mountain can produce, light hill lamb, and what the globalised market demands. The paper argues that if ‘farming for conservation’ is the new function of such farming systems, then we should consider decoupling public goods payments from agricultural subsidies, along with integrating agriculture in disadvantaged areas within a broader rural development framework. The research aims to fill the gap between macro policy and the micro reality of an upland community on a self-declared ‘tipping point’.
Multi-Local Living – An Opportunity for Rural Health Services in Finland?
Authors: Lehtonen Olli , Muilu Toivo , Vihinen Hilkka 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
In the simplest definition, multi-local living means that a person or family have more than one residence or place to stay. In Finland, multi-locality has become a common phenomenon in recent decades, but the effects of it are not yet considered in decision-making or planning. This is because the “invisible population” created by multi-locality is not reflected in traditional population statistics. The assumption in this article is that multi-locality would provide opportunities to improve accessibility of health and social services in rural areas. The assumption is tested in the North Kymenlaakso region, Finland. The results point to that one-stop services and mobile services are cost-efficient and flexible provision models for rural areas. The results call for making the increasing multi-locality in society more visible and to utilize it better than at present as a resource for the development of rural areas.
RNApolis: Computational Platform for RNA Structure Analysis
Authors: Szachniuk Marta 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
In the 1970s, computer scientists began to engage in research in the field of structural biology. The first structural databases, as well as models and methods supporting the analysis of biomolecule structures, started to be created. RNA was put at the centre of scientific interest quite late. However, more and more methods dedicated to this molecule are currently being developed. This paper presents RNApolis - a new computing platform, which offers access to seven bioinformatic tools developed to support the RNA structure study. The set of tools include a structural database and systems for predicting, modelling, annotating and evaluating the RNA structure. RNApolis supports research at different structural levels and allows the discovery, establishment, and validation of relationships between the primary, secondary and tertiary structure of RNAs. The platform is freely available at http://rnapolis.pl

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background: There is a dose-dependent relationship between chronically increased cortisol levels and the number of metabolic syndrome (MetS) components. Both cortisol and MetS are linked to various brain abnormalities.
Aim: To investigate an association of MetS components and salivary cortisol levels with cortical thickness in middle-aged Bulgarian patients with MetS.
Materials and methods: We examined 26 healthy volunteers (mean age 50, 16±3.1 yrs) divided into two groups depending on whether or not they were diagnosed with MetS. Salivary cortisol was sampled and tested at two time points -morning and evening. Cortical thickness measures were obtained from structural T1-images using FreeSurfer software. We performed vertex-wise analysis across entire cortex and for preselected brain regions in frontal, temporal and cingulate cortex partial correlation analysis, accounting for gender.
Results: The control group consisted of 12 women; in the MetS group there were 6 men and 8 women. The whole brain analysis showed that waist circumference (WC) was negatively correlated with cortical thickness in rostro-lateral area in left frontal lobe and the right lateral orbito-frontal cortex. Morning cortisol levels, accounting for sex and WC, correlated negatively with thickness in left superior temporal area (r = −0.477, p = 0.039) and entorhinal area (r = −0.465, p = 0.045) and left mediotemporal cortex (r = −0.477, p = 0.038).
Conclusion: Our pilot study confirmed that WC is associated with brain atrophic changes mainly in the frontal lobe. Our finding that cortisol levels negatively correlate with thinning of the cortex in temporal lobe should be further explored in subsequent study.
The Vulnerability and Resiliency of Childhood
Authors: Arafat S M Yasir , Papadopoulos Konstantinos , Mullick Mohammad S I , Uddin Md. Saleh 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Life is full of stressors, which have to be confronted efficiently to grow up. However, reaction to stressors is personalized, complex and coordinated. Vulnerable persons adjust poorly to stressors and express inappropriate responses, while resilient persons practice adaptive physiological and psychological responses. Promotion of resiliency is an intricated issue, which demands strategies at both macro and micro-level. Microlevel strategies are focused on the community, family and individual level, while macrolevel strategies formulate the principles. Nevertheless, prediction of vulnerability and resiliency is really a challenge, as different persons facing same stressors react differently. Some are growing as resilient and others as vulnerable. We aimed to discuss resiliency, vulnerability, importance in relation to health outcome, promotion of resiliency and controversies of vulnerability and resiliency.
Political communication and social aspects interaction in complex society.
Authors: Capogna Stefania , Figus Alessandro 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Thanks to the tumultuous development of digital technologies, nowadays we live in a world without boundaries, characterized by liquid communities that meet and collide, sometimes denying mutual recognition. We move in a communicative bulimia where information runs like in a circus where the sense and the value of ‘communicating’ are often lost, fuelling forms of misunderstanding, violence and exclusion that contribute to fuel discomfort and isolation. In the information and knowledge society, communication is increasingly discriminating for emancipation and empowerment of people, organizations, and communities. For this reason, in this essay, we intend to deepen both the evolution of the community’s space through digital technologies and the value and role of the concept of empowerment applied to community development. The essence of the essay is to reflect on its social implications in terms of welfare communities and valorization of the heritage of relational goods that are constitutive of every social and community space.
Effect of nitrogen fertiliser application timing on grain yield and grain protein concentration of spring barley
Authors: Hackett R. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThere is relatively little recent information regarding the effect of timing of fertiliser N application to spring barley on grain yield and grain protein concentration (GPC) under Irish conditions. The objectives of this work were to examine the effects of a) timing of the first N application to spring barley (at sowing or at crop emergence), b) altering the proportion of the total N allocation that is applied in the first of two applications and c) delaying a portion of the total N dose until after the tillering phase on grain yield and GPC of spring barley. Twenty experiments were carried out over four seasons (2011–2014) in the south and south-east of Ireland. Results indicated that there was little consistent difference, in terms of grain yield or GPC between applying the first N at sowing compared to where the initial N application was made at crop emergence. Similarly, altering the proportion of N applied in the first application, irrespective of whether the first application was at sowing or at crop emergence, had little effect on either yield or GPC. Delaying the application of a portion (0.2) of the total N until after the tillering stage also had little consistent effect on either yield or GPC. It is concluded that where the majority of N is applied to spring barley before the end of the tillering stage, altering the timing of applications or the proportion of the total applied in each application will have limited effect on grain yield or GPC.

The Most Important Methods for Reducing Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting In Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review Study
Authors: Mostafa Madmoli  , Mahtab Samsamipour  
Published: June 2019

Introduction: Despite the successes that have recently been made in the field of control and prevention of communicable diseases, the incidence of chronic illnesses has increased. And cancer as a chronic disease after accidents and unintentional deaths is the third leading cause of death in children. Given that cancer patients have multiple chemotherapy during their healing period and chemotherapy itself causes a lot of harm to the patient and that nausea and vomiting are a common complication in chemotherapy patients, Therefore, this systematic review was conducted to determine the most important methods for reducing the nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy in cancer patients.
Materials and Methods: This study is a systematic review Using the articles published in the last 20 years, it was based on the most important methods for reducing the nausea and vomiting of chemotherapy in cancer patients. The search was carried out in search engines, SID, Magiran, and Google Scholar, Embase, ResearchGate, Sciencedirect, and PubMed in Persian and English. In the first stage, 47 articles were found. Of these, 10 related articles that have been published in the last 20 years have been reviewed.
Results: In this study, we investigated the most important methods for reducing the nausea and vomiting of chemotherapy in cancer patients. In one of these studies, the rate of nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy was studied at the stage. In the first stage, without intervention, in the second phase, music was broadcast to patients using headphones. In the case of nausea, measurements with numerical criteria at 16 and 24 hours and descriptive criteria showed significant difference only at 24 hours after chemotherapy. However, there was no significant difference in vomiting between two stages of chemotherapy.
Conclusion: According to the studied studies, ice massage in the Negan spot can be effective in reducing the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. It can also be said that muscle use reduces nausea in children with chemotherapy malignancy. It is suggested that nurses use ear acupressure technique as a complement to relieve nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.

AIM: To study the efficacy of reciprocating single file system and multifile rotary systems in elimination of root canal bacteria and endotoxins.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: Forty permanent single rooted mandibular premolars with straight canals inoculated with Escherichia Coli suspension for 21 days were selected for the study. Teeth were randomly divided into four groups (n=10) according to instrumentation system: Grp. A–Reciproc (VDW); Grp. B–WaveOne (Dentsply Maillefer); Grp. C–MTwo (VDW); and Grp. D–K3( Sybron Endo); Bacterial and endotoxin samples were collected with a sterile paper point before instrumentation and after instrumentation. Culture methods estimated the colony-forming units (CFU) and the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate test was used for quantification of endotoxins. Results so obtained were calculated and statistically analysed.
RESULT: Results at S1 concluded that bacteria and endotoxins were found in all of the investigated root canals. After instrumentation all systems were associated with the significant reduction of the bacterial load and endotoxins respectively: Grp. A– Reciproc (88.25% and 89.10%); Grp. B– WaveOne (83.53% and 80.59%); Grp. C– MTwo(79.41% and 75.84%) and Grp. D– K3 (67% and 74.4%). Statistically no difference was found amongst the instrumentation systems regarding bacteria and endotoxin elimination (P <0.05).
CONCLUSION: The reciprocating single file, Reciproc and WaveOne were as effective as the multifile rotary systems for the eradication of bacteria and endotoxins from root canals.
