Oblique Propagation of Electrostatic Waves in a Magnetized Electron-Positron-Ion Plasma in the Presence of Heavy Particles
Authors: Sarker M. , Hossen M. R. , Shah M. G. , Hosen B. , Mamun A. A. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
A theoretical investigation is carried out to understand the basic features of nonlinear propagation of heavy ion-acoustic (HIA) waves subjected to an external magnetic field in an electron-positron-ion plasma that consists of cold magnetized positively charged heavy ion fluids and superthermal distributed electrons and positrons. In the nonlinear regime, the Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) and modified K-dV (mK-dV) equations describing the propagation of HIA waves are derived. The latter admits a solitary wave solution with both positive and negative potentials (for K-dV equation) and only positive potential (for mK-dV equation) in the weak amplitude limit. It is observed that the effects of external magnetic field (obliqueness), superthermal electrons and positrons, different plasma species concentration, heavy ion dynamics, and temperature ratio significantly modify the basic features of HIA solitary waves. The application of the results in a magnetized EPI plasma, which occurs in many astrophysical objects (e.g. pulsars, cluster explosions, and active galactic nuclei) is briefly discussed.
The Representation of Retinal Blood Vessels in Primate Striate Cortex
Authors: Adams Daniel L. , Horton Jonathan C. 
Published: April 2018

The blood vessels that nourish the inner retina cast shadows on photoreceptors, creating “angioscotomas” in the visual field. We have found the representations of angioscotomas in striate cortex of the squirrel monkey. They were detected in 9 of 12 normal adult animals by staining flatmounts for cytochrome oxidase activity after enucleation of one eye. They appeared as thin profiles in layer 4C radiating from the blind spot representation. Angioscotomas can be regarded as a local form of amblyopia. After birth, when light strikes the retina, photoreceptors beneath blood vessels are denied normal visual stimulation. This deprivation induces remodeling of geniculocortical afferents in a distribution that corresponds to the retinal vascular tree.Angioscotoma representations were most obvious in monkeys with fine ocular dominance columns and were invisible in monkeys with large, well segregated columns. In monkeys without columns, their width corresponded faithfully to the inducing retinal shadow, making it possible to calculate the minimum shadow required to produce a cortical representation. The “amblyogenic threshold” was calculated as the fraction of the pupil area eclipsed to trigger remodeling of geniculocortical afferents. It was found to be constant over retinal eccentricity, vessel size, and shadow size. Ambliogenic shadows only three to four cones wide were sufficient to generate a cortical representation, testifying to the remarkable precision of the cortical map. The representations of retinal blood vessels separated by only 0.65° were resolvable in the cortex, yielding an upper limit on cortical resolution of 340 μm in layer 4C.

Collagen XIII occurs as both a transmembrane-bound and a shed extracellular protein and is able to regulate the formation and function of neuromuscular synapses. Its absence results in myasthenia: presynaptic and postsynaptic defects at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), leading to destabilization of the motor nerves, muscle regeneration and atrophy. Mutations inCOL13A1have recently been found to cause congenital myasthenic syndrome, characterized by fatigue and chronic muscle weakness, which may be lethal. We show here that muscle defects in collagen XIII-deficient mice stabilize in adulthood, so that the disease is not progressive until very late. Sciatic nerve crush was performed to examine how the lack of collagen XIII or forced expression of its transmembrane form affects the neuromuscular synapse regeneration and functional recovery following injury. We show that collagen XIII-deficient male mice are unable to achieve complete NMJ regeneration and functional recovery. This is mainly attributable to presynaptic defects that already existed in the absence of collagen XIII before injury. Shedding of the ectodomain is not required, as the transmembrane form of collagen XIII alone fully rescues the phenotype. Thus, collagen XIII could serve as a therapeutic agent in cases of injury-induced PNS regeneration and functional recovery. We conclude that intrinsic alterations at the NMJ inCol13a1−/−mice contribute to impaired and incomplete NMJ regeneration and functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury. However, such alterations do not progress once they have stabilized in early adulthood, emphasizing the role of collagen XIII in NMJ maturation.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTCollagen XIII is required for gaining and maintaining the normal size, complexity, and functional capacity of neuromuscular synapses. Loss-of-function mutations inCOL13A1cause congenital myasthenic syndrome 19, characterized by postnatally progressive muscle fatigue, which compromises patients' functional capacity. We show here in collagen XIII-deficient mice that the disease stabilizes in adulthood once the NMJs have matured. This study also describes a relevant contribution of the altered NMJ morphology and function to neuromuscular synapses, and PNS regeneration and functional recovery in collagen XIII-deficient mice after peripheral nerve injury. Correlating the animal model data on collagen XIII-associated congenital myasthenic syndrome, it can be speculated that neuromuscular connections in congenital myasthenic syndrome patients are not able to fully regenerate and restore normal functionality if exposed to peripheral nerve injury.

Zanikanie świętości. Natura i źródła procesu desakralizacji w kulturze Zachodu
Authors: Chmiel Bogumił 
Published: April 2018

Celem niniejszego artykułu było wskazanie zasadniczych elementów składających się na proces desakralizacji kultury Zachodu. W pierwszej części przedstawiono zasadnicze elementy charakteryzujące „tradycyjne” pojmowanie kultury, którego wyróżnikiem był brak ostrego rozróżnienia na sferę sacrum i profanum ugruntowany w idei kosmicznego ładu. Druga część dotyczy genezy desakralizacji, którą – w przypadku kultury zachodniej – należy wiązać najpierw z myślą sofistów, a następnie z ideami renesansu. W obu przypadkach desakralizacja wiąże się z antropocentryzmem. Istotą antropocentryzmu jest takie postrzeganie rzeczywistości, w którym człowiek pojmuje samego siebie nie jako integralną część boskiego ładu, który winien rozpoznać i realizować we właściwy sobie sposób, ale jako autonomicznego twórcę kreującego „swój” świat wedle własnych praw. Kwestia, czy owe ludzkie prawa są zgodne z boskim porządkiem, czy pozostają z nim w sprzeczności jawi się tym samym jako drugorzędna – tym, co zasadnicze, jest geneza i natura ładu panującego w świecie człowieka.
Handel organami ludzkimi – problem nadal aktualny
Authors: Stec Tomasz 
Published: April 2018

Wraz z rozwojem transplantologii pojawił się problem pozyskania odpowiedniej liczby organów dla osób potrzebujących przeszczepu. Zapotrzebowanie na narządy nadal znacznie przerasta liczbę dawców. W tej sytuacji narodził się nowy problem natury etycznej. Chodzi o handel ludzkimi organami. Światowa Organizacja Zdrowia (WHO) i różne autorytety moralne potępiły ten precedens. Niestety, są dziś kraje na świecie, jak choćby Indie czy Mołdawia, które dopuszczają możliwość majątkowej rekompensaty za oddanie narządów. Wśród wielu przyczyn tego przyzwolenia należy wskazać skrajną biedę ludzi, którzy w handlu własnymi organami widzą nadzieję na poprawę bytu.Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie problemu handlu organami jako ogólnoświatowego problemu, na przykładzie poszczególnych krajów świata, w tym Polski. Autor wyjaśnia, w czym tkwi zło moralne takich czynów, wskazuje możliwe sposoby rozwiązania tego problemu.
Rys historyczny posługi kapelanów wojskowych w Polsce do czasów utworzenia stałego duszpasterstwa
Authors: Jaworski Piotr 
Published: April 2018

Duchowa i żołnierska służba Bogu i ojczyźnie, stanowiąca szczególny wymiar powołania kapelanów wojskowych, ma długą historię sięgającą najdawniejszych czasów. Wraz z rozwojem organizacji armii, na przestrzeni wieków powstawały różne regulacje, próbujące unormować organizację posługi religijnej w wojsku i dostosować ją do potrzeb rozwijających się sił zbrojnych. To ważne zagadnienie stanowi przedmiot refleksji historycznej obejmującej swym zasięgiem służbę duszpasterską w Wojsku Polskim do czasu ukonstytuowania się stałego duszpasterstwa wojskowego.
Le fonti bibliche della colletta per l’anniversario dell’Ordinazione sacerdotale
Authors: Dudek Andrzej 
Published: April 2018

La formula eucologica del Missale Romanum per l’anniversario dell’Ordinazione al sacerdozio (1092-C) è piena dei contenuti teologici. Il testo latino tradotto in lingua volgare deve trasmettere quello che si cela nei concetti latini. La formazione dei testi liturgici è un processo di composizione nel quale si mettono insieme tante citazioni e allusioni ai concetti che fanno parte del tesoro della Chiesa universale, elaborati durante la preghiera e attraverso la riflessione teologica. In presente articolo, seguendo indizi dell’ermeneutica liturgica, si cercava di individuare tutte le fonti bibliche della coletta. E bisogna confermare che sono molteplici. Iniziando dall’invocazione a Dio Padre, attraverso il concetto dell’unico sacerdozio della Nuova Alleanza, cioè quello di Gesù Cristo, si arriva ai compiti presbiterali che si svolgono all’interno della Chiesa come ministero e amministrazione di grazia divina.

Published: April 2018

Apresentação do v. 2, n. 2, maio-ago., 2017. O tema da seção Dossiê desta edição da revista FuLiA / UFMG é O futebol em contextos locais e regionais. A escolha desse tema foi motivada pelo reconhecimento de que, embora a questão da nação ocupe o lugar central na tradição de estudos sobre o futebol que se constituiu em nosso país nas últimas décadas, temos visto mais recentemente o surgimento de uma boa quantidade de pesquisas dedicadas a problemas e objetos que escapam a essa perspectiva nacional. O objetivo da proposta, portanto, era apresentar um pouco dessa produção, revelando configurações da cultura esportiva que não podem ser reduzidas às grandes narrativas canônicas do futebol brasileiro.Nos trabalhos recebidos e aprovados para publicação, essa expectativa se cumpriu, em alguns casos de forma inesperada, por meio de estudos que abordam o fenômeno esportivo a partir de suas particularidades, suas margens e seus desvios, evidenciando como vem se ampliando, progressivamente, a percepção das relações que o esporte estabelece com a cultura e a sociedade.Alguns trabalhos respondem de maneira mais direta à proposta temática, dedicando-se ao estudo de manifestações locais e regionais do futebol, com destaque para o contexto mineiro e atenção tanto para as especificidades dessas manifestações quanto para suas relações com o desenvolvimento do fenômeno esportivo em nível nacional e global.

Investigation on transformation of advertising strategies and ads according to cultural values from a semiotic perspective: Coca-Cola case
Authors: Talug Deniz Yesim 
Published: April 2018

Although the word globalisation gives the impression as a unified whole, serious cultural differences from country to country could not be ignored. To point out, there is a homogeneous world culture in today’s conditions that may not be very accurate. .Cultural differences are especially more important for brands placing international ads. For example, white is known to be associated with death in Asia, whereas it is associated with health and cleanliness in Europe. Therefore, the success of the ad is dependent on the appropriate message according to the country where the ad is published. Global advertising concept, which gained importance with the globalisation, loses the distinction of being the current ad types for businesses operating in the international arena today. As a result, advertising has entered the glocal concept. Glocalisation is derived from a combination of words, global (global) and local (local). This paper examines globalisation, cultural concepts, global and local advertising by investigating the phenomenon with the Coca-Cola brand.
Keywords: Culture, advertising, strategy, global, local, glocal.
The relation of the urban centre (city) and movie theatres as public spaces in Ankara
Authors: Felekoglu Huseyin Metin 
Published: April 2018

Centres, which are spaces of interaction in urban area where social, political and economic relations condensed, have importance with their publicity characteristic beyond being social. In the modernisation of cities, functional and structural elements supporting the publicity of space have been evaluated as a dimension of development. Especially throughout the twentieth century, movie and movie theatres became the important components of the urban centres with their publicity characteristic. The relation with the urban centre or structural–spatial properties of movie theatres are realised in the context of growth and development processes of urban. It is possible to read this synchronisation through the relationship between formation of urban centre and movie theatres in certain periods in Ankara, an Ottoman small town by beginning of the century, and then, had become the space of modernisation politics after 1923. Beyond the morphological, this positioning reflects the pressure of infrastructure factors that affect its formation.

Keywords: Modernisation, publicity, urban centre, movie theatres, Ankara.

The influence of antibiotics on wastewater treatment processes and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Authors: Jendrzejewska N. , Karwowska E. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The influence of antibiotics, namely doxycycline, gentamicin, penicillin, nitrofurantoin, and rifampicin, on wastewater treatment was assessed. The presence of 100–300 μg/L of antibiotics (63.52–134.41 mg/g.d.w·d) marginally influenced organic matter degradation, without impacting nitrogen or phosphorus concentrations. However, a significant increase in the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria was observed, which varied with different antibiotics. The largest number of bacteria became resistant to nitrofurantoin and penicillin. After the process, some multi-resistant strains were isolated from the sludge. Two of them revealed the activity of carbapenamase, the enzyme directly related to resistance against β-lactam antibiotics.
