THE IMAGE A VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON IN PHILATELY AS A MEANS OF FORMING AN ADEQUATE ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE BLINDNESS AND BLIND
Authors: Gudonis Vytautas 
Published: May 2019

The topic of blindness and the image of a blind person in philately, although rarely analysed, has a great information potential. This research topic is part of our research "The Image of a Blind Man in the Cultural Heritage of Humanity." The purpose of the study is to systematize knowledge on the subject of image and blindness in philately, to consider the social aspects of this phenomenon. To collect information, the bulletin used the analysis of literature and the search for postage stamps depicting blind people in private collections of philatelists. The iconological method of interpretation of culture and art history was also used, which permitted to reveal the meaning of visions, symbols and their contexts. The monograph is based on the methodological assumptions of art historians Aby Walburg (1866 – 1929) and Erwin Panofsky (1892 – 1968), who claimed that historical and social aspects could be revealed through the works of art. E. Panofsky states that the works of art as human signs as well as other works can be considered documents, encoding the knowledge of the epoch, its culture and attitudes. The work of art is a symbol, indicating “something else” and allowing us to perceive the allegory; it is a document, telling us about certain cultural, religious, social and historic phenomena, depending on the context. The image of a blind person in stamps and commemorative envelopes are divided according to separate themes and analysed as social phenomena. The image of the blind and the topic of blindness in philately allow acquiring more knowledge about the blind, their potential, embossed writing, specificity of their orientation and mobility and at the same time forming positive attitudes towards visually impaired people. These findings activate further research on the image of a blind person in other areas of cultural heritage.

Authors: Lice Anita , Sloka Biruta 
Published: May 2019

As the labour market changes at increasing pace, education systems need to respond. Facilitating employability of graduates and preparing them for lifelog learning and constant changes throughout their careers requires new education methods. In order to assess the current approach to developing employability of graduates in vocational education in Latvia, this article aims at evaluating the attitudes of employers on performance of vocational education in developing employability competencies, as well as investigating the practical education methods applied by vocational education institutions to facilitate employability.Total 750 companies participated in this research. A list of 17 employability competencies was rated using a four-point Likert scale. Employers rated the relative performance of vocational education in developing employability competencies. In order to investigate education methods applied to facilitate development of employability competencies, interviews with managers of 12 vocational education institutions were conducted. The research results show that vocational education in Latvia is best at developing computer skills and presentation skills, however it performs worst at developing the ability to take responsibility, ensuring relevant work experience, developing problem-solving skills and appropriate attitude to work. Overall, performance of vocational education received almost as many negative evaluations as positive evaluations. The main education methods to facilitate employability of graduates used by vocational education institutions are practical learning and extra-curricular activities.

Published: May 2019

The research presents the process of advertising message and the mechanisms of its influence on consumer decisions. The goal of the article is to present the findings to the research question: Do the methods and techniques used in tourism advertising messages have an impact on society? To give answer to our research question, the diagnostic survey method was adopted and a research tool was used in the form of a questionnaire, which in the interactive version was filled in by the participants of the most popular online forums. The questionnaire was available on several social networks and on a special generated page for this purpose from February 1 to May 31, 2016. The research shows that the very important mechanism of persuasion is the impact of the identification process with the person's respect and authority. An important role in the process of persuasion is also played by the content of the advertising message, which brings the recipients pleasant associations and entertains. The rules of influence used in advertising messages are no longer a new or emotional topic. Still, some moral doubts give rise to those of them which, through their physical characteristics, are difficult to grasp for human abilities and perceptive abilities, and therefore also in many cases foreign and unwanted.

Authors: Bilwal Bharat Kumar , Garg Apurva 
Published: May 2019

Background: Maternal weight gain is one of the most important independent predictors of infant birth weight. It is stated that under nutrition during pregnancy and low birth weight increase the risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Normal weight gain of pregnancy 11kg weight gain should be according to pre-pregnancy BMI. Patients with BMI > 25 should gain weight of 7kg patient with normal BMI should gain 11kg weights.Methods: This is a hospital based prospective study and was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, RNT Medical college Udaipur from November 2018 to March 2019 to find association between maternal weight gain and birth weight. Exclusion criteria included congenital malformations, multiple pregnancy, polyhydraminos, preeclampsia, diabetes, cardiovascular, kidney disease, RH negative pregnancy. Results were calculated by percentage.Results: excessive weight gain during pregnancy increases baby weight. Out of total 100 cases, 88 (88%) cases are Hindus and 12 (12%) cases are Muslims. Out of total 100 cases 72 cases (72%) belong to urban, 28 (28%) belong to Rural area. Out of 100 patients 32 patients gain weight less than 11kg among which 16 newborn have weight less than 2.5kg, 68 patients have weight gain more than 11kg and 67 have baby weight more than 2.5kg.Conclusions: Excessive maternal weight gain during pregnancy increases birth weight. In view of the apparent association between high birth weight and adult adiposity, an advantageous time to initiate obesity prevention efforts may be during pregnancy.

Published: May 2019

Introduction: Workers' accident-proneness is considered as an inherent and coherent characteristic in incidence of job accidents; therefore, its effective factors should be determined to prevent job accidents. This study recommends use of PLS-MGA in the field of occupational accidents. The present study was carried out to conduct Multi-group analysis of workers in the steel production industry using partial least squares approach.
Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in 2018. The sample size of the study was calculated as 450 people using the sample size sampling method in structural equation modeling. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and SMARTPLS3.
Results: The findings showed the mediating role of stress between accident-proneness and individual and social factors. Moreover, the results of PLS-MGA showed no significant difference between the two groups considering all hypotheses. In other words, all research hypotheses were confirmed in the two groups except the hypothesis over the relationship between individual factors and accident- proneness.
Conclusion: The present study indicated that workers of steel industry turned into accident-prone individuals in case of facing intense stress, effort-reward imbalance, and work-family conflict. Therefore, the odds of accidents and unsafe factors increase among them. In this regard, individuals' general health status and work locus of control should be investigated at the time of recruitment, so that only people with high internal locus of control are employed for stressful jobs.

In order to collect data, organizational justice, personality (NEO), researcher-made demographic factors, and recorded accident rating questionnaires were used.
Results: The results were analyzed using regression and moderated analysis. The findings showed that living location, kind of job, and education had significant relationship with accidents. Furthermore, job antecedent, education, and neurosis moderated the relationship between organizational justice and accidents (p≤0/05).
Conclusion: Personality can affect safety and safety affects accidents. So, in order to reduce the number of accidents, personality characteristics should be considered.
O kilku kontekstach powieści Joan Lindsay "Piknik pod Wiszącą Skałą"
Authors: Samborska-Kukuć Dorota 
Published: May 2019

Piknik pod Wiszącą Skałą, napisana w poł. lat sześćdziesiątych powieść Joan Lindsay, jest w Australii dziełem kultowym o wielu interpretacjach. Jedną z nich jest adaptacja filmowa Petera Weira, która – zwłaszcza dla odbiorcy europejskiego – stanowi punkt wyjścia do rozważań o sensach pierwowzoru, co powoduje rozliczne transgresje eksplikacyjne rozmijające się z przesłaniem autentyku. Dodatkowe komplikacje wprowadzają również pseudohistoryczność powieści oraz mistyfikacja: epilog wydany po śmierci Lindsay, którego ezoteryczna treść nie współgra z zasadniczo realistycznym Piknikiem.
Rozpowszechnione propozycje psychoanalityczne czy genderowe nie ogarniają całokształtu dzieła, są zbyt jednostronne i nierzadko dotyczą jedynie filmu Weira. Pomijanie kontekstu postkolonialnego (kwestia Stolen Generations), jak również uwarunkowań mitologicznych (wierzeń Aborygenów a nie kręgu śródziemnomorskiego), sprawia, że powieść zostaje oderwana od jej macierzystego gruntu kulturowego i odbierana jest połowicznie lub błędnie. Aura metafizyczna filmu generuje zaś naddatki interpretacyjne.
Artykuł ma charakter porządkująco-uzupełniający, przywołuje się w nim i dopełnia uzasadnione dziełem Lindsay kwestie dotyczące inicjacji, wskazuje konteksty m.in.: polityczne, obyczajowe, symboliczne, artystyczne, genologiczne. Takie ujęcie sprzyja przypomnieniu polskiemu czytelnikowi powieści, której Weirowska tessera odebrała prymarne znaczenia.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
Background: To compare the anterior biometry of eyes with secondary acute angle closure induced by occult lens subluxation (LS), misdiagnosed as acute primary angle closure (APAC) at the first visit, APAC, chronic primary angle closure glaucoma (CPACG), cataract. Methods: This retrospective case study included 17 eyes with PAC due to occult LS, who were misdiagnosed as APAC on their first visit, 56 eyes diagnosed as APAC, 54 eyes diagnosed as CPACG, and 56 eyes diagnosed as cataract. Axial length (AL), Central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) were recorded. Lens position (LP), relative lens position (RLP), corrected lens position (CLP) were calculated. Quantitative data were subject to one-way analysis of variance and correlation analysis. Categorical data were analyzed using the chi-squared test. Results: The patients in the LS group had a longer ocular axial length than those with acute angle closure and CPACG. Corneal thickness in the LS group was not significantly different from that in the APAC group, but was significantly different from those of the CPACG and cataract group. The APAC group had the smallest ACD, while the LS group had the smallest AD. The LS group exhibited significantly shallower ACD (P<0.01). The LS group had the largest lens thickness. Conclusions: This study revealed that LS secondary PAC patients had a shallower ACD, thicker CCT and lens thickness comparing to those of APAC, CPACG and cataract patients. A short depth (< 1.25 mm) and a thick lens thickness (> 5.13 mm) are crisis of lens subluxation in our data. LP and CLP can be helpful for differential diagnosis. Trial registration: NCT03752710, retrospectively registered.
Small, but surprisingly repetitive genomes: Transposon expansion and not polyploidy has driven a doubling in genome size in a metazoan species complex

Published: May 2019

Abstract
Background: The causes and consequences of genome size variation across Eukaryotes, which spans five orders of magnitude, have been hotly debated since before the advent of genome sequencing. Previous studies have mostly examined variation among larger taxonomic units (e.g., orders, or genera), while comparisons among closely related species are rare. Rotifers of the Brachionus plicatilis species complex exhibit a seven-fold variation in genome size and thus represent a unique opportunity to study such changes on a relatively short evolutionary timescale. Here, we sequenced and analysed the genomes of four species of this complex with nuclear DNA contents spanning 110- 422 Mbp. To establish the likely mechanisms of genome size change, we analysed both sequencing read libraries and assemblies for signatures of polyploidy and repetitive element content. We also compared these genomes to that of B. calyciflorus, the closest relative with a sequenced genome (293 Mbp nuclear DNA content).
Results summary: Despite the very large differences in genome size, we saw no evidence of ploidy level changes across the B. plicatilis complex. However, repetitive element content explained a large portion of genome size variation (at least 54%). The species with the largest genome, B. asplanchnoidis, has a strikingly high 44% repetitive element content, while the smaller B. plicatilis genomes contain between 14% and 25% repetitive elements. According to our analyses, the B. calyciflorus genome contains 39% repetitive elements, which is substantially higher than previously reported (21%), and suggests that high repetitive element load could be widespread in monogonont rotifers.
Conclusions: Even though the genome sizes of these species are at the low end of the Metazoan spectrum, their genomes contain substantial amounts of repetitive elements. Polyploidy does not appear to play a role in genome size variations in these species, and these variations can be mostly explained by changes in repetitive element content. This contradicts the naïve expectation that small genomes are streamlined, or less complex, and that large variations in nuclear DNA content between closely related species are due to polyploidy.
