Double Colonization: A Postcolonial Feminist Study Of Sia Figiel’s Where We Once Belonged
Authors: Ahmed Shene Mohammad 
Published: February 2019

The article deals with analyzing female characters in the WHERE WE ONCE BELONGED by Sia Figiel. The novel is important for students who study postcolonialism and feminism as it gives an insight for gender and race issues. The aim of this article is to show how females in a male-dominated societies are persecuted. Furthermore, females are regarded as inferior according to Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism. The Samoan culture was once colonized by the British. Therefore, the legacy of colonialism and its effects remains there, even after the national independence. It first gives some clarifications about the publishing of the novel and the writer. Then, it comes to the discussion about the colonialism in the novels with its connections to the main characters and how the colonizers were, and also how it affected their lives. In the next part, it explains double colonization. It talks about how almost all of the postcolonial writings were occupied by how women were muted. Then, it recalls how the female characters were suppressed and oppressed by the males and the English dominant power. It shows how they were double-colonized, not having even the freedom to show it.

Comparative Analysis of the Key Factors Influencing Healthcare Systems of OECD Countries
Authors: Miszczyńska Katarzyna M. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The Health sector, as a part of the national economy, is extremely important for economic development. A well organized and operating healthcare system constitutes an important notion for both patients and national policy. That is why the organisation of healthcare systems is the subject of reform in many countries. The aim of this study is to identify homogeneous groups of countries from the OECD in terms of the level of delivery of medical services. Countries considered in the study will be analysed through the prism of selected characteristics. The results of the study will form the basis for international comparisons and application of solutions used by countries with better healthcare systems. The study will be backed up by a chosen multivariate statistical analysis — cluster analysis.
Determinants of Investment Decisions on the Capital Market
Authors: Jasiniak Magdalena 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The article deals with the psychological determinants of investment decisions made by an individual investor on the capital market. The purpose of this article is to try to assess the relationship between capital involvement and selected personality traits and how individuals perceive investments in securities of different nominal unit price. The author attempts to verify whether specific price thresholds affect respondents in a similar way as prices of goods and services to customers, in the context of capital investment. The results of the nationwide survey of 564 individual investors are based on analyses using the model of the willingness to invest in shares with a specific nominal value compared to the individual characteristics of the respondents. The results of the study indicate a significant relationship between personality traits and the tendency to choose stocks with relatively low or very high denomination (current transaction price).
Corporate Income Tax Contribution of the Polish Financial Sector
Authors: Stiller Wojciech 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The financial crisis has stimulated debate on the taxation of the financial sector. The focus is on the bank levy and financial transaction tax, whereas corporate income tax attracts less attention in the public debate. Accordingly, this study analyses the contribution of the financial sector to Polish revenue from corporate income tax. Based on tax statistics of the Ministry of Finance from 1998 to 2016, the aggregated effective tax burden of the financial sector is determined and compared with the tax burden of corporations from other sectors. In addition, the study deals with loss deduction of the financial sector in comparison to non-financial corporations.
The study shows that the effective tax burden of the financial sector - measured as a ratio of the tax due to income - is higher than the corresponding burden for corporations from outside this sector. A higher corporate income tax burden of the financial sector also applies if it is measured by aggregated profits reduced by losses. An exception to this is the period up to 2002 and the year 2009, when the effective tax burden of the financial sector was lower after the inclusion of losses when compared to other sectors of the Polish economy. This can be explained by the relatively low losses of the Polish financial corporations compared to other corporations. Furthermore, the study shows that tax losses in the financial sector are used much more effectively. The minimum ratio of the expired loss carry-forward - due to its limitation up to five years – to the reported losses accounts for 20.2% for this sector and is thereby significantly lower than the corresponding share of 54.6% for non-financial corporations.
Kenophytes in different forest types of Ukraine
Authors: Onyshchenko Viktor 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The article aims to 1) describe the distribution of non-native species of vascular plants (only kenophytes, i. e. naturalized species introduced after the 15th century) in different types of forests and different biogeographical regions of Ukraine; 2) compare proportions of kenophytes in forests of different areas; 3) detect statistically significant changes in the occurrence of kenophytes over the last 80 years. The material consists of 2701 relevés sampled in 1990–2018. They were taken from Ukrainian phytocoenological publications and databases. In Ukraine, as in other European countries, the highest proportion of kenophytes (percentage of species number per relevé) is in floodplain forests (up to 9.1% in willow and poplar forests). The lowest proportion is characteristic for bog woods (0%) and most types of mountain forests. Among biogeographical regions, the highest values were found in the flatland areas of the Steppic region and the forest-steppe part of the Continental region. The most frequent species are Impatiens parviflora (predominantly in broadleaved woods, absent in relevés from the steppic biogeoregion) and Erigeron canadensis (pine woods on sand). Comparison with 1466 older relevés sampled in 1950–1989 allows us to make a conclusion that the proportion of kenophytes increased at least in one habitat type (oak-hornbeam forests).
Updating Geospatial Data by Creating a High Resolution Digital Surface Model
Authors: Picu Iuliana Adriana Cuibac 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Smart Cities are no longer just an aspiration, they are a necessity. For a city to be smart, accurate data collection or improvement the existing ones is needed, also an infrastructure that allows the integration of heterogeneous geographic information and sensor networks at a common technological point. Over the past two decades, laser scanning technology, also known as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), has become a very important measurement method, providing high accuracy data and information on land topography, vegetation, buildings, and so on. Proving to be a great way to create Digital Terrain Models. The digital terrain model is a statistical representation of the terrain surface, including in its dataset the elements on its surface, such as construction or vegetation. The data use in the following article is from the LAKI II project “Services for producing a digital model of land by aerial scanning, aerial photographs and production of new maps and orthophotomaps for approximately 50 000 sqKm in 6 counties: Bihor, Arad, Hunedoara, Alba, Mures, Harghita including the High Risk Flood Zone (the border area with the Republic of Hungary in Arad and Bihor)”, which are obtained through LiDAR technology with a point density of 8 points per square meter. The purpose of this article is to update geospatial data with a higher resolution digital surface model and to demonstrate the differences between a digital surface models obtain by aerial images and one obtain by LiDAR technology. The digital surface model will be included in the existing geographic information system of the city Marghita in Bihor County, and it will be used to help develop studies on land use, transport planning system and geological applications. It could also be used to detect changes over time to archaeological sites, to create countur lines maps, flight simulation programs, or other viewing and modelling applications.

The mean number of species per segment was 64.42 in a range of 4–180.
A Consideration of John Owen’s Teaching on the Heavenly Session of Christ
Authors: Moga Dinu 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Owen’s writings on this subject helps us to see in a profound way that every aspect of Christ’s work is based upon an act of divine love and good pleasure in which Christ has come to us in order to restore us to fellowship with God. The Divine counsel stands at the basis of Owen understanding of Christ mediatorial work. In all their aspects, Owen’s Christological reflections represent a restatement of orthodox Christology which stands in fundamental continuity with the Reformed tradition, particularly in its use of the threefold office of Christ. What emerges in Owen regarding Christ as Mediator is positively shaped by the intratrinitarian relations defined by the covenant of redemption and the three-fold office of Christ as prophet, priest, and king which preserve both, the historical and the eternal dimensions. There is nothing more demanded from the church of the present day than the revival of the idea the we live in him who is our High Priest in heaven.
Reflections on Research in Romania
Authors: Beck Sam 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This is a biographical account of my work in Romania and the influence it had on my research that followed. I focus on the impact that my almost five years in Romania had on the framework and orientation of my anthropological practice that I employed in the United States. I suggest that anthropologists have a moral imperative we must carry out when we choose to conduct research among the most vulnerable in society. In doing so, we must also come to understand the conditions that have made them vulnerable in the first place (Nader 1969). I assert here that as anthropologists of the twenty-first century we no longer may stay on the sidelines, but we must engage our work as allies with the vulnerable, supporting them in their self-identified struggles for dignity, liberation, and sustainability as part of a unified global effort. This entails the transformation of participant observation into a participatory research approach.
Heterogeneity Studies of Wild Clarias gariepinus (Osteichthyes, Clariidae) Using SDS-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis
Authors: Ola-Oladimeji F. A. , Idowu E. O. , Adewumi A. A. , Fafowora K. C. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This study determined the genetic variations that exist in Clarias gariepinus obtained from two natural populations in Nigeria, using their serum protein profiles. A total of 51 samples of Clarias gariepinus collected from Ado-Ekiti and Ilesa were used for this experiment. Blood was extracted from the caudal vein of each individual fish and electrophoresis was performed based on standard methods. Following this, gel images were taken, scored and subjected to classical cluster analysis using Bray-Curtis similarity index. This showed the presence of variations in C. gariepinus between the studied populations and samples from Ado-Ekiti reservoir displayed more diversity than those from Ilesa. Hence, this showed the feasibility for selecting samples from Ado- Ekiti to improve culture of C. gariepinus in further breeding studies.
Fossil Ovibos Moschatus (Artiodactyla, Bovidae) from Buryn, with Reference to Muskox Dispersal in the Late Pleistocene of Ukraine
Authors: Krakhmalnaya T. V. , Kovalchuk O. M. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The skull fragment of muskox Ovibos moschatus (Artiodactyla, Bovidae) obtained from Chasha River bed alluvium near the Buryn (Sumy Region, North-Eastern Ukraine) is described here in detail. It belongs to a young male, and presumably dates back to Late Pleistocene. This new find slightly extends the known Ukrainian range of the species to the east. Taxonomic attribution of extinct muskox and dispersal of Ovibos moschatus within the territory of Ukraine during the Late Pleistocene are also discussed in the paper.

Logistics and Uptake of Genetic Testing for Patients Referred for Telegenetic Counselling for Cancer
Authors: Shane-Carson Kate Parks , Martin Cortlandt 
Published: February 2019

Purpose: There is a dearth of information about the uptake of genetic testing after telegenetic (videoconference) counselling for hereditary cancer, which has been previously reported as a limitation of this service delivery model. Methods: We performed a review of the triage list for patients referred to The Ohio State University (OSU) from two community cancer centres for telegenetic counselling appointments from April 1, 2014 to May 31, 2016. Results: A total of 179 patients were referred for telegenetic counselling, and of these 62.6% (112/179) completed a 30-60 minute telegenetic counselling appointment. Of those counselled, 82.1% (92/112) completed genetic testing, 12.0% (11/92) of whom were found to have a pathogenic mutation. Of those with mutations, 45.5% (5/11) returned for a follow-up telegenetic counselling session to review results in more detail. In addition, 18.5% (17/92) of patients tested had at least one variant of uncertain significance (VUS). Conclusions: The presence of a nurse/nurse practitioner with the patient at the remote site during the telegenetic counselling session may have facilitated higher completion rates for genetic testing compared to previous reports in the literature, and appropriateness of genetic testing in this method of providing genetic counselling is reflected in the rates of results identifying deleterious mutations and variants of uncertain significance.
KÖRLER ÜLKESİNDE HEM GÖRMEK HEM DE SAĞIR OLMAK SUÇTUR!!!

Bu
çalışmada nevrozların günlük yaşamdaki etkileri ve yansımalarını tartışmaya
çalışıldı. Nevrozlar hafif, psikozlar da nispeten ağır vakaları temsil etmektedirler. Nevrozlar organik bir
sebebe bağlı olmaksızın, doğrudan doğruya çevreden gelen olumsuz tesirler
sonucu kişide ruhi çatışmaların ve düşünce bozukluklarının ortaya çıkması
halidir. Nörotik (nevrozlu) kişi, çevresi ve bazı uyumsuzlukları olmakla birlikte, gerçek hayattan kopmuş
değildir. Az veya çok hemen hepimizin çözemediğimiz ve üstesinden
gelemediğimiz sorunlarımızı ya bilinçaltına iterek onları unutmaya veya savunma
mekanizmaları geliştirerek inkâr etmeyi tercih ederiz. Nevrozda, kişi istek ve idealleri doğrultusunda ilerlerken
aşamayacağı engellerle karşılaşırsa ümitsizliğe kapılır. Önce kendi
yeteneklerini yargılar. Engelleri aşamadığı için çevresi tarafından eleştirildiği
ve baskıya maruz kaldığı zaman çevreye kızar. Ancak çoğu zaman bu
kızgınlığını dışa vurmaz, içinde tutar. Sitem ve kızgınlıklar üst üste geldikçe
çeşitli sıkıntılar doğar ve bunlar kişiye huzursuzluk vermeye başlar.

Published: February 2019

Neste artigo, apresentamos um estudo teórico acerca da importância da formação científica voltada à pesquisa nos cursos de licenciatura, para que, na educação básica, professores e alunos assumam autoria no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Partimos do pressuposto de que o letramento científi co do professor é fator preponderante para o desenvolvimento de um ensino voltado à observação, ao questionamento e à investigação, de modo a promover formação crítica e transformações sociais. Por isso a relevância da alfabetização e do letramento científi co nas licenciaturas. A abordagem tomou como recorte os cursos de Letras com habilitação para o ensino de língua materna. Para as discussões, desenvolvidas a partir do campo indisciplinar de estudos da Linguística Aplicada, foram relevantes os trabalhos de Chassot (2016) e Demo (2006, 2015). Também, os estudos sobre letramento e alfabetização desenvolvidos por Kleiman (2005, 2006, 2008), na Linguística Aplicada, e Magda Soares (2009), na área da educação.
