Use of Ecological Niche Models of Plant Species to Optimize Placement of Apiaries
Authors: Cadena Rodríguez Yareli J. , Vázquez-Sánchez Monserrat , Cruz-Cárdenas Gustavo , Villaseñor José L. 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Apiaries must be located in areas with abundant flora as they are the nutritional base for Apis mellifera. Asteraceae is one of the most diverse plant families in Mexico and several of its species are of interest for beekeepers. The objective of this study was to determine the best sites for the placement of apiaries with the use of ecological niche models (ENM) of some Asteraceae species important for bees in two basins of the state of Michoacán, Mexico. ENM for thirty species were obtained through records of their presence, twenty abiotic variables and one biotic variable, and a map of species richness was made to determine which sites would be environmentally appropriate for apiaries. The models were statistically evaluated using the AUC_Maxent, partial_ROC and the binomial tests and were verified in the field. The first two tests’ models had values of 0.70 to 1 and the binomial test’s models had values of 1. The map showed six suitable areas with the greatest richness of species. The corroboration in the field proved ENM effective by finding twenty-two of the thirty modeled species inside the predicted areas. Our results support that ENM are a good strategy to predict the ideal habitat for species important for beekeeping, and thus determine the best places to establish apiaries in the region.
Timing of Invasion by Africanized Bees Coincides with Local Extinction of a Specialized Pollinator of a Rare Poppy in Utah, USA

Published: September 2019

Abstract
The introduction of exotic species can have profound impacts on mutualisms between native species in invaded areas. However, determining whether a new invader has impacted native species depends on accurately reconstructing the invasion timing. The arrival of Africanized honey bees (AHB) in southern Utah at some point between 1994 and 2011 has recently been implicated in the local extinction of Perdita meconis, a native specialist pollinator of an endangered poppy, Arctomecon humilis. Although AHBs were purportedly first detected in southern Utah in 2008, their presence in nearby Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico by 1998–2001 suggests that they may have been present in Utah much earlier. We refined the arrival date of AHBs in southern Utah by using a molecular marker to determine maternal ancestry of museum specimens collected between 2000 and 2008. We found that AHBs were present in southern Utah from 2000 onwards, advancing the arrival date of this invader by at least 8 years. This lends credence to the hypothesis that AHBs played a critical role in the local extinction of P. meconis in Utah. This work also highlights the importance of vouchering even common species such as honey bees in museum collections to serve future research needs.

Published: September 2019

Abstract
The article discusses the multi-level linguistic features of the variations of the American English in the United States under the influence of territorial isolation, which forms the structure and functional use of the language. In the USA an extensive material on regional types of pronunciation has been collected in the fields of sociolinguistics and dialectology while the variability of English speech on the territory of the United States of America remains practically unexplored. In this article the extra-linguistic features, namely, territorial peculiarities of the southern dialect are considered in combination with the features of the dialect of the South Mountain region and the dialect of South Coast area on the example of the novel “Go Set a Watchman” by Harper Lee. Phonetic, grammatical and lexical peculiarities of the southern dialect have been studied. The examples from the book enabled us to see the specific nature of the dialect of the Southern United States. We have also compared phonetic, lexical and grammatical features of this dialect with the literary English language and saw huge differences. Having analyzed the grammatical peculiarities of the southern dialect, for example, we conclude that the most common grammatical error of the local population is the incorrect formation of general questions, the use of the tense forms of the verbs and the absence of auxiliary verbs in the sentences.

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Students come to school to acquire knowledge, skills, positive behaviour and values for good citizenship. Students learning become more effective and meaningful when the classroom and school environment is calm and devoid of distractions. This study examined deviant behaviour in schools and how it impacts on students’ learning The study drew its sample from a population of public secondary schools in Edo State, Nigeria. The sample comprised 500 teachers selected through random sampling techniques from twenty secondary schools in the state. The questionnaire was the instrument for data collection from the respondents. Descriptive statistics were employed in the analysis of data. The findings revealed that deviant behaviour was prevalent in urban and rural schools but was more prevalent in urban schools than in rural schools. The findings further revealed that the extent of prevalent of deviant behaviour in large schools was more than in small schools. Deviant behaviour severely impacted on students’ learning. The study concluded by recommending the adoption of appointing two principals to head large schools. Principals of large schools should employ collaboration with school management team to effectively combat deviant behaviours.

Authors: Tanushi Elsa 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide insights on the way in which the impact of input factors is perceived, as it had been defined by IASSB in 2014 according to the quality of auditing in Albania. In particular, the paper focuses on the point of view of the party involved in the audit market, a statutory auditor, who has the appropriate information and technical knowledge for the proper assessment of the audit quality. The paper examines the way in which the quality of the audit is influenced by Input factors, through an in-depth analysis of these factors, and their influence mode. This research is based on an interpretive research approach using quantitative research methods. The instrument used for this survey is the Questionnaire, it addresses legal auditors that are used as a sample. The study shows that the respondents’ group perceives a positive impact of the input factors on the quality of audit, especially those consisting of Value/Ethics/Attitudes, aspects related to the personal characteristics of legal auditors. In general, the findings of the paper can be considered important for the stakeholders for audit engagements and for academic researchers wishing to develop a deeper understanding of this contribution.
Early Modern Cultural Hybridity: Bartholomew Fair as a Heterotopia of Hamlet
Authors: Procházka Martin 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
As a contribution to the discussion of Shakespeare’s “appropriability” (Stanley Cavell), this paper examines some aspects of the cultural position of Hamlet on the Jacobean entertainment market, as they are indicated in Ben Jonson’s comedy Bartholomew Fair (1614). The metatheatrical features of Bartholomew Fair may be said to measure the play’s resistance against appropriating the unique and problematic aspects of Hamlet, such as the Ghost or The Mousetrap. These are deconstructed in Jonson’s comedy, which anticipates the Enlightenment views of the social functioning of theatre as a “moral institution”.
A Shadow of Truth: Honor Klein in Iris Murdoch’s A Severed Head
Authors: Kašpárková Barbora 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Iris Murdoch’s novel A Severed Head (1961) is an example of convoluted relationships that may appear hilarious upon superficial analysis. A close reading, however, reveals the suffering triggered by the behaviour of the central characters. The most mysterious female protagonist, the sexually ambivalent Honor Klein, deploys a wide range of possible interpretations. Honor’s powerful figure is like an axis around which the rest of the characters rotate and without whom the plot would fall apart. The question is, nonetheless, if she is a real figure or not. This paper argues that this pivotal character is not a real person but a dreamy and ghostly concentration of elements in relation to the protagonist Martin Lynch-Gibbon. Honor Klein is a force, is suspicion, and fear, and seems to be an external projection of Martin’s subconscious imaginary fears and trauma. She has a similar narrative function as Shakespeare‘s ghosts in, e.g., Macbeth, Hamlet and Julius Caesar.
A Bond Stronger Than Marriage: Discipleship in the Works of Christopher Isherwood
Authors: Latała Kinga 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
This paper is concerned with Christopher Isherwood’s portrayal of his guru-disciple relationship with Swami Prabhavananda, situating it in the tradition of discipleship, which dates back to antiquity. It discusses Isherwood’s (auto)biographical works as records of his spiritual journey, influenced by his guru. The main focus of the study is My Guru and His Disciple, a memoir of the author and his spiritual master, which is one of Isherwood’s lesser-known books. The paper attempts to examine the way in which a commemorative portrait of the guru, suggested by the title, is incorporated into an account of Isherwood’s own spiritual development. It discusses the sources of Isherwood’s initial prejudice against religion, as well as his journey towards embracing it. It also analyses the facets of Isherwood and Prabhavananda’s guru-disciple relationship, which went beyond a purely religious arrangement. Moreover, the paper examines the relationship between homosexuality and religion and intellectualism and religion, the role of E. M. Forster as Isherwood’s secular guru, the question of colonial prejudice, as well as the reception of Isherwood’s conversion to Vedanta and his religious works.
Remediating Joyce’s Techno-Poetics: Mark Amerika, Kenneth Goldsmith, Mark Z. Danielewski
Authors: Vichnar David 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
This paper attempts to evaluate the legacy of James Joyce’s avant-gardism for the literary experimentation of Mark Amerika, Kenneth Goldsmith, and Mark Z. Danielewski, three contemporary American writers and artists, working a hundred years after the first of Joyce’s crucial four “shocks of the new” shook the foundations of fiction. In doing so, the paper attempts to bridge the divide between the historical avant-garde and the neo-avant-garde as defined by Renato Poggioli and Peter Bürger, and regarded disparagingly by critics like Robert Hughes. Positing a threefold legacy of Joyce’s “revolution of the word” in its treatment of writing as trace, forgery, and idiom, the paper discusses Amerika’s Grammatron, Goldsmith’s uncreative writing, and Danielewski’s House of Leaves as continuing in and expanding on the achievements of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. This they achieve by pursuing what Marjorie Perloff has termed “differential poetics” and N. Katherine Hayles has rethought as “Assemblage” – two poetic strategies dominant at the beginning of the 21st century.
Inquiry and computer program Onko-Online: 25 years of clinical registry for breast cancer at the University Medical Centre Maribor
Authors: Arko Darja , Takac Iztok 
Published: September 2019

Abstract

Background
High-quality routine care data collected in the clinical registry play a significant role in improving the management of cancer patients. Clinical cancer registries record important data in the course of cancer diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and survival. Analyses of such comprehensive data pool make it possible to improve the quality of patients care and compare with other health care providers.

Methods
The first inquiry at the Department of Gynaecologic and Breast Oncology of the then General Hospital Maribor to follow breast cancer patients has been introduced in 1994. Based on our experience and new approaches in breast cancer treatment, the context of inquiry has been changed and extended to the present form, which served as a model for developing a relevant computer programme named Onko-Online in 2014.

Results
During the 25-year period, we collected data from about 3,600 breast cancer patients. The computer program Onko-Online allowed for quick and reliable collection, processing and analysis of 167 different data of breast cancer patients including general information, medical history, diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up.

Conclusions
The clinical registry for breast cancer Onko-Online provides data that help us to improve diagnostics and treatment of breast cancer patients, organize the daily practice and to compare the results of our treatment to the national and international standards. A limitation of the registry is the potentially incomplete or incorrect data input by different healthcare providers, involved in the treatment of breast cancer patients.

Published: September 2019

Abstract
In order to evaluate the effects of Satureja hortensis L. extract on cisplatin-induced behavioral alterations in the tail suspension test (TST), we included 35 male Wistar albino rats in this study, divided into 7 equal groups. Cisplatin was administered (single dose of 7.5 mg/kg, i.p., on the fifth day) alone, and in groups with orally administered (for 10 days) Satureja hortensis L. extract (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg), and silymarin (100 mg/kg) in individual groups. The behavioral testing was performed in TST, and the following parameters were obtained: the latency to the first immobility, the number of immobility episodes, and the total duration of immobility. Cisplatin application increased the latency to the first immobility, but decreased the number of immobility episodes and the total duration of immobility. Oral administration of Satureja hortensis L. extract in a dose of 100 mg/kg attenuated cisplatin-induced alterations, and those effects were similar to silymarin group. The extract in a dose of 200 mg/kg diminished cisplatin-induced effect only for the total duration of immobility, while in a dose of 50 mg/kg, the extract had no impact on cisplatin effects. Although common use of this methodology would lead to a conclusion that cisplatin produced antidepressant effect, comparison with certain literature data allows the conclusion that this action of cisplatin may be attributed to its anxiogenic action that was attenuated by antioxidant supplementation (Satureja hortensis L.) in an adequate dose (100 mg/kg).

Is it Better to be Safe than Sorry? The Cartagena Protocol versus the World Trade Organisation
Authors: Laidlaw Anais Kedgley 
Published: September 2019

One of the most important developments of the twenty-first century has been the emergence of biotechnology and genetic engineering. In response to this development, the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety was negotiated, and entered into force in September 2003. The Cartagena Protocol sets up a regime governing the international movement of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that aims to protect biodiversity from any adverse effects of genetically modified organisms. However, the Cartagena Protocol is not the only regime governing such movement. The World Trade Organisation (WTO) also covers the trade in GMOs, but has a different aim: to prevent limitations on such movement. As a result it is almost inevitable that a dispute concerning the trade in GMOs will occur. Therefore, harmonisation of the two agreements is highly desirable. One way to achieve this, which would then avoid the need for WTO reform, would be for the Cartagena Protocol to be used by the WTO as evidence of internationally accepted standards in relation to GMOs. However, given that the WTO would be unlikely to accept such a proposal, other solutions need to be explored.
Requirements of Application and Sphere of Applicability of the CISG
Authors: Schlechtriem Peter 
Published: September 2019

Professor Schlechtriem begins by suggesting the success of the Convention on the International Sale of Goods can be explained by its simplicity. In this paper, however, he goes on to explain and expand on some of the complexities of interpretation of the Convention, especially those in part one caused by difficulties created by reservations. However, his paper ends by suggesting that, despite the complexities, the CSIG often remains far preferable to the use of national law that may itself be uncertain or even unknown.
The Danger of Domestic Pre-Conceived Views with Respect to the Uniform Interpretation of the CISG: The Question of Avoidance In the Case of Non-Conforming Goods and Documents
Authors: Schwenzer Ingeborg 
Published: September 2019

Professor Schwenzer compares common law notions about a party's ability to avoid a sales contract with the position under article 49 of the Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Having noted that the approach of the CSIG has given rise to criticism, she then argues that such criticism is unfounded and that, moreover, the CSIG's provisions reflect the reality of international sales practice and case law.

Published: September 2019

Introduction.The modern stage of development of electronics is characterized by the widespread use of integrated circuits (IC). Assessment of working conditions in a promising, developing production of electronic components with hygienic positions is an urgent task.The aim of the studyis to conduct a hygienic assessment of working conditions of workers in the main professions in the production of IC.Materials and methods.Hygienic research conducted at three modern enterprises for the production of chips and semiconductor devices, included the study of the conditions and nature of work of workers in the main professions. 215 chemical analyses for the content of harmful substances were carried out in order to assess the air environment and 270 measurements of the levels of physical factors at 18 workplaces.Results.Findings of hygienic assessment of working conditions for employees engaged in manufacture of microcircuits: operators of chemical processing, precision photolithography (PPL), diffusion processes, vacuum deposition, and IMC assemblers are reported. Based on the analysis of the technological process and the list of materials used and time-study data, the studies of workplace air pollution, sound levels, artificial lighting, microclimate parameters (temperature, humidity, air velocity), working process parameters were carried out. The jobs in which work is characterized by toxic chemicals exposure, precision visual operations using optical instruments during 55% of the shift were singled out. Priority occupational health risk factors for workers employed in modern IMC production and main areas of working environment optimization were revealed.Conclusions.Based on the conducted hygienic studies, musculoskeletal system load combined with visual strain were found to bethe priority occupational health risk factors for microcircuit production workers.Manual operations taking up a significant part of the working process and introduction of automated IMC technological processesbeing insufficient, preventive measures should be aimed at organizing a rational working regime that provides reducing of visual strainand musculoskeletal system load.
