<p><span lang="EN-US">The needs for chicken meat have been dominated by meat from exotic broilers (bred from imported parent). The potential of local broilers chicken in Indonesia is expected to be able to provide the meat for national needs for chicken meat. The objective of this research was to determine the day-old-chick (DOC) phenotypic characteristics of chickens in Indonesia that have the potential as broilers. The phenotypic characteristics are in the form of body morphometry, visceral organ weight and small intestinal histo-morphology. The chickens used were the DOC type of exotic Broiler, Kampung, exotic male Layer, KUB-1 and Pelung. A total of 125 chickens consisting of 25 chickens of each strain at posthatched age were observed for its body morphometry and its visceral organ weight, and small intestinal histo-morphology. The observed data were then analyzed by similarity analysis using MVSP 3.22 to create a dendogram with the Unweighted Pair Group with Aritmetic Average (UPGMA) method. Results showed that there were 2 different clusters from the level of similarity in their characteristics. Exotic broilers had 94.65% similarity to male exotic layer chicken and 92.26% to pelung chicken, while Kampung chickens had 90.16% similarity to KUB-1Chicken. In conclusion, it is indicated that the level of similarity of the phenotypic characteristics of pelung chickens were close to the type of exotic broiler and male exotic layer chicken. This level of similarity lead to the expectation that pelung chickens potential to be a candidate for meat-type of local chicken.</span></p>
SŁOWA˗WARTOŚCI: INTERKULTUROWOŚĆ UKRYTA W JĘZYKACH
Authors: Dryjańska Agnieszka 
Published: March 2019

The present paper attempts to investigate the developement of existential competence within the framework of the intercultural approach to foreign language teaching. The main dimension of this approach to be explored is the application of the semantic analysis of key words for each culture designating values. To better understand the theoretical background of the intercultural competence its main aspects will be analyzed, i.e. alterity, representation, and identity. The analysis will especially include the process of discovering the real meaning of wordswithin their cultural background. Such a reflective approach to teaching and learning foreign languages allows the students to change their ethical attitude towards foreign cultures as well as their own culture.

‘What Would Happen If We Were No Longer Able to Narrate?’ Dystopian Speculations and Other Reflections on the Relevance of Narratives for Human Life
Authors: Wolf Werner 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The contribution highlights the overwhelming importance of narrative for human life. It takes its point of departure from a hypothetically negative assumption: the fiction of an anti-utopian island ‘Udiegesia’, whose inhabitants have lost the ability to narrate. A scenario detailing what would presumably happen in such a case leads on to a (positive) survey of the manifold fields in which narrative is in fact used as a cognitive frame to make sense of, provide orientation in, and a ‘fitness training’ for, life and human societies, a survey which is - in part - inspired by Brian Boyd’s propagation of ‘evocriticism’.2 In the concluding section the claim that all human knowledge is “based on stories”3 will receive brief critical attention. It will be argued that such an exclusive stance is as problematical as the idea that the complexities of narrative’s forms and its various functions for human life can be fully explained by evolutionary theory alone.

Zusammenfassung
Eine Aufgabe der Metrologie ist die Bestimmung von
Messunsicherheiten.
Auch unter industriellen, nicht-idealen Bedingungen muss
gewährleistet werden, dass Messgeräte innerhalb der
vorgeschriebenen Toleranzen arbeiten.
Bei der Modellierung können auftretende Störungen als
Zufallsvariablen aufgefasst werden.
Ihr Einfluss auf die Zielgröße kann mit Hilfe der
verallgemeinerten Polynomchaos-Methode bestimmt werden, die zum
Einsatz in Systemen mit aufwändigen Computermodellen entwickelt
worden ist.
Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht es, die erwarteten Abweichungen
sowie deren Varianz äußerst effizient zu berechnen.
In diesem Beitrag wird diese Methode exemplarisch auf zwei
Probleme aus der Strömungsmesstechnik angewandt, in denen
turbulente Strömungen mit Hilfe der Reynolds-gemittelten
Navier-Stokes-Gleichungen modelliert werden.

Mediumrückwirkung und akustische Strahlungsdämpfung für ein kreisförmiges Plättchen
Authors: Braumann Hans 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Zur Berechnung des Schallfelds eines kreisförmigen Plättchens, welches kleine harmonische Schwingungen in Richtung seiner Achse ausführt, wird zunächst die akustische Wellengleichung in Bipolarkoordinaten umgeschrieben. Falls das akustische Medium als inkompressibel angesehen werden kann, führt die Wellengleichung auf die Potentialgleichung, welche exakt gelöst wird. Es ergibt sich, daß das Medium so auf das Plättchen zurückwirkt, als wäre dessen Masse um 8R3 ρo/3 erhöht (R Plättchenradius, ρo Dichte des Mediums). Bei kompressiblem Medium kommt zu dieser konserva-tiven Rückwirkung noch die Strahlungsdämpfung hinzu. Für das Zeitmittel der ab-gestrahlten Leistung ergibt sich angenähert 8R6ρo ω4 V2 / π C3 (ω Kreisfrequenz, V Geschwindigkeitsamplitude des Plättchens, c Schallgeschwindigkeit).

Immunological response and match performance of professional tennis players of different age groups during a competitive season. J Strength Cond Res 35(8): 2255–2262, 2021—We aimed to investigate the effect of physical workloads on immunological response, match performance, and iron metabolism in professional tennis players of different age groups throughout the tournament season and to determine the interdependence of vitamin D status and inflammation. Thirty-eight young, male tennis players with a top national ranking (1–25) participated in this study and were assigned to the following age groups: cadets (CG), juniors (JG), and seniors (SG). Blood samples were collected at the beginning, midpoint, and end of the tournament season to assess the proinflammatory cytokine (tumor necrosis factor—alpha [TNF-α]), anti-inflammatory myokines (interleukin [IL]-6 and IL-10), heat shock proteins (HSP70, HSP27), iron metabolism markers, and vitamin D concentrations. The total number of matches (won and lost) at the national and international events was recorded. The IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations significantly increased across all groups in the middle and end of the tournament season (effect large and very likely). The TNF-α concentration was elevated at the end of the season in CG and SG. The increase in TNF-α concentration corresponded with an increase in hepcidin concentration in these groups. The significant increase in HSP27 concentration was only noticed in SG with normal vitamin D concentrations. In JG and SG, a mild seasonal increase in vitamin D concentration was noted, but still it was insufficient. The immunological response was not affected by the number of tennis matches; however, the anti-inflammatory effect was regulated by higher concentrations of vitamin D. Unexpectedly, most tennis players had vitamin D deficiency. Iron status remained unchanged.
Response Adaptation in Barrel Cortical Neurons Facilitates Stimulus Detection during Rhythmic Whisker Stimulation in Anesthetized Mice
Authors: Barros-Zulaica Natali , Villa Alessandro E. P. , Nuñez Angel 
Published: March 2019

AbstractRodents use rhythmic whisker movements at frequencies between 4 and 12 Hz to sense the environment that will be disturbed when the animal touches an object. The aim of this work is to study the response adaptation to rhythmic whisker stimulation trains at 4 Hz in the barrel cortex and the sensitivity of cortical neurons to changes in the timing of the stimulation pattern. Longitudinal arrays of four iridium oxide electrodes were used to obtain single-unit recordings in supragranular, granular, and infragranular neurons in urethane anesthetized mice. The stimulation protocol consisted in a stimulation train of three air puffs (20 ms duration each) in which the time interval between the first and the third stimuli was fixed (500 ms) and the time interval between the first and the second stimuli changed (regular: 250 ms; “accelerando”: 375 ms; or “decelerando” stimulation train: 125 ms interval). Cortical neurons adapted strongly their response to regular stimulation trains. Response adaptation was reduced when accelerando or decelerando stimulation trains were applied. This facilitation of the shifted stimulus was mediated by activation of NMDA receptors because the effect was blocked by AP5. The facilitation was not observed in thalamic nuclei. Facilitation increased during periods of EEG activation induced by systemic application of IGF-I, probably by activation of NMDA receptors, as well. We suggest that response adaptation is the outcome of an intrinsic cortical information processing aimed at contributing to improve the detection of “unexpected” stimuli that disturbed the rhythmic behavior of exploration.

Authors: SÜKLÜN Harika 
Published: March 2019

This study's purpose was to investigate if misconceptions lead to conflicts and increase attention among scholars for further research as well. Although misconception is one of the roots of conflicts is somehow accepted, especially by the practitioners, there are not many empirical studies conducted to investigate if there is a relationship between misconception and conflicts. This study is prepared on a small scale as a starting point. To explore the subject better case study methodology is used. Two different studies conducted to be able to compare and analyze the situation among the groups. One group is taken as in-group and the other group is taken as out-group. This study's findings revealed that misconception leads to conflict at workplaces and to a hostile work environment. "We vs. them" situation among the groups and intergroup conflicts are observed. Conclusion and limitation are discussed.

Metamorphism and thermal properties of fresh snow (study in the Moscow region)
Authors: Chernov R. A. 
Published: March 2019

As a result of laboratory tests were obtained values of the coefficient thermal conductivity (Keff) of new snow for different types of the solid precipitation: plates, needles, stellars, graupels. Snow samples were collected during a snowfall and placed in the freezer. For all types of sediment thermal conductivity of snow is equal to 0.03–0.04 W/m·°C. Transformation of new snow occurs within 10 days at average temperature −10 °C and the gradient temperature of 50–60 °C/m. Under these conditions, the metamorphism leads to an increase the density of snow, size of grains and rounded snow particles. At the beginning of the experiment, the thermal conductivity of snow is linearly increased in proportion to the density of the snow. However, after 3–5 days Keff stabilized at about 0.08–0.09 W/m·°C, although the density of the snow and size of grains continued to increase. This effect occurs with the appearance of faceted crystals and loosening of snow. In the future, while maintaining a negative temperature coefficient of thermal conductivity remained unchanged. Thus, the temperature gradient metamorphism affect to the thermal conductivity snow, which plays an important role in maintaining the thermal insulation properties of snow cover. The article describes the formula to calculate the thermal conductivity of the snow conditions in the temperature gradient metamorphism. Such conditions are characteristic of the vast expanses of the north and northeast of the European part of Russia. On the basis of long-term observations in Moscow shows the average minimum and maximum values for the density of the snow woods and fields on the basis of which can be calculated for the thermal properties of the snow.

Published: March 2019

Results of distant satellite sounding (the TERRA satellite) of high-mountainous areas and digital models SRTM 4.1 and ASTER DEM G2 of the same relief were used to calculate the following parameters of high-mountain dammed glacial lakes: area, depth, the water volume, excess of the dam above the water level. It is important for estimation of the water volume that can be dangerous for a break-through of a dammed lake. Formulas deduced to calculate the depth and volume of a lake for several sections of its area were tested and proposed. It is demonstrated that the regression equation V = Hmax × F, where Hmax is maximum depth of the lake, can be used as the parameterization of the formula «lake volume V equals the product of the area F on average depth D». More precise values of the coefficients a and b in the formula V = aFb were also obtained. Parameters and the water volumes of lakes were estimated for the river Gunt (right tributary of Pyanj River) basin. According to [28], there are 428 high-mountain lakes in this region with their total area ≥ 2500 m2. For basin Inflow of melted snow and glacier water caused by the rise of mean summer air temperatures in 1931–2015 was estimated for the lake Rivankul basin (the Pamir Mountains).
Voluntary wheel running and testosterone replacement increases heart angiogenesis through miR-132 in castrated diabetic rats
Authors: Chodari L , Dariushnejad H , Ghorbanzadeh V 
Published: March 2019

Objective
Low levels of testosterone in men with diabetes are associated with cardiovascular complications. We investigated the effect of testosterone and voluntary exercise on heart angiogenesis in castrated diabetic rats.

Methods
Sixty-three diabetic rats were treated with testosterone 2 mg/kg/day or voluntary exercise alone or combination of these two for 6 weeks. At the end of the study, heart tissue samples were collected and used for CD31 detection by immunohistochemical method and determination of miR-132 levels.

Results
miR-132 levels and CD31 of heart tissue were higher after testosterone administration and in the voluntary exercise group in diabetic rats after 6 weeks. Combination of testosterone and voluntary exercise had synergistic effect on angiogenesis and miR-132 level. In castrated diabetic rats, there were significantly lower levels of miR-132 and CD31 in heart tissue compared to the diabetic group, whereas testosterone and exercise reversed these effects. In addition, testosterone supplementation plus exercise had an additive effect on miR-132 levels and CD31 in castrated diabetic rats.

Conclusions
It was concluded that castration in rats leads to reduced miR-132 levels and subsequently decreased angiogenesis in diabetes. Testosterone plus voluntary exercise improved angiogenesis possibly through enhancement of miR-132 levels in heart of castrated diabetic rats.
Lokális szirolimuszterápia sikeres alkalmazása facialis angiofibromák kezelésére Bourneville–Pringle-kórban szenvedő gyermekeken

Published: March 2019

Abstract: Facial angiofibroma is the characteristic symptom and also a major diagnostic criterion for Bourneville–Pringle disease. The centrofacially localized hamartomatous tumours start to appear in early childhood, and progress over time. Facial angiofibromas represent a significant cosmetological problem for the patients and a therapeutic challenge for the physician. Beside the traditional invasive treating methods, topical sirolimus is a new, promising and well-tolerated treatment modality. Several studies and case reports have been published on this new therapeutic approach, but recommendation for the optimal sirolimus concentration still does not exist. We report here two cases when children were successfully treated with topical sirolimus. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(13): 516–520.

Abstract: Invasive prenatal testing and conventional G-banding chromosome analysis have been considered to be the gold standard of fetal cytogenetic diagnosis. Standard karyotyping is, however, constrained by the limits of the resolution of using a microscope. The advantage of molecular karyotyping, array based methods is the evaluation of sub-microscopic copy number changes across the whole genome in a single analysis. The application of array comparative genome hybridization has greatly increased the detection of pathogenic chromosomal abnormalities in prenatal settings. Based on available data in the international literature of the last decade, the clinical utility of arrayCGH is the recognition of some 1–2% and 5–7% additional genetical information compared to metaphase karyotype alone in fetuses without ultrasound anomaly and in fetuses with ultrasonographically detected malformations, respectively. Thus arrayCGH improves the prenatal diagnosis of genetic abnormalities mainly in fetuses with structural sonographic findings. In the present paper we review the literature of chromosomal microarray and make a proposal for the application of the method in Hungarian prenatal genetical practice.

Abstract

The participation of patients in precision oncology trials needs to fulfill molecular-based selection criteria. This strongly limits accrual, and as a consequence, screening successes have decreased, costs have increased, and fewer subjects are enrolled. To achieve narrowed targets, studies have been forced to be multicenter and multinational to reach a larger pool of candidates. However, this globalization faces many challenges, as, for example, in the case of precision oncology trials. These trials have a complex structure that is dependent upon a high-tech infrastructure and knowledge in a dynamic environment. Given the movement of precision clinical cancer research to regions other than Europe and the U.S., it is important to evaluate the feasibility of performing such trials in lower-middle- and low-income countries. Here we critically discuss the advantages of conducting precision oncology clinical trials in Latin America and make suggestions on how to overcome the main challenges involved.
