Authors: Wu Shijun , Xu Jianmin , Li Guangyou , Lu Zhaohua , Han Chao , Hu Yang , Hu Xinxian 
Published: July 2017

AbstractGrowth traits, wood properties, stem-branch characteristics and bark percentage were assessed for 60 Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake clones in southern China measured at age 21, 52, 71 and 96 months. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences on growth traits, wood properties and individual tree wood weight among clones. Coefficients of genotypic variation ranged from 12.12% to 53.16% for growth traits, 9.02% to 20.18% for wood properties, 21.75% to 22.71% for stem-branch characteristics, 28.31% for bark percentage and 51.20% for individual tree wood weight. Repeatability ranged from 0.36 to 0.53 for growth traits, 0.35 to 0.51 for wood properties, 0.21 to 0.24 for stembranch characteristics, 0.07 for bark percentage and 0.31 for individual tree wood weight. The strongly negative genotypic correlations suggesting that selection on growth traits at 21 months can not be effective to predict growth traits at 96 months whereas it could be used to predict growth traits at 52 and 71 months. The genotypic correlations between growth traits and basic density were ranged from -0.78 to 0.28 and weakly positive phenotypic correlations were found between growth traits and basic density, ranging from 0.03 to 0.09. The selection gain on diameter at breast height over bark by different selection proportions at 21, 52, 71 and 96 months old expressed that selection gain at 71 months was some what higher than that at other ages during 10% to 30% selection proportion, while selection gain at 52 months was some what higher than that at other ages during 60% to 90% selection proportion. Wood properties and individual tree wood weight which are strongly related to end production and economically important in pulp production should be studied extensively especially for pulp breeding.

Abstract
Family forestry, defined as the deployment of families in mixture into plantations, is becoming an attractive option for black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) in New Brunswick, Canada. With many elite families of black spruce being available, there is a knowledge gap regarding how to compose a mixture of families that optimally balances the objectives of increased yield and reduced risk. This study, based on real field test data, investigates the application of a model based on the modern portfolio theory to optimally balance yield and risk when selecting a portfolio (mixture) of black spruce families to deploy in reforestation. The risk was expressed as the variance of the family portfolio, an effective indicator of yield stability. This is an innovative approach in forestry and it is compared to the currently used method, truncation-deployment, defined as the equal deployment of seed of selected families. Results show that the portfolio theory searched for the combination of yield and stability and produced family portfolios maximizing yield at a given stability or minimizing yield instability at a given yield. The portfolio theory was never inferior in maximizing yield to the truncation- deployment approach when yield stability is a concern. We recommend using portfolio theory to determine family portfolios for family forestry. While this study targets to family forestry, the results may be relevant to other deployment strategies where stability is a concern, such as clonal forestry.
Hybridization of Poplars in the Central Chernozem Region of Russia
Authors: Tsarev Anatoly , von Wühlisch Georg , Tsareva Raisa 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Hybridization offers huge potential in domesticating species. Poplars are important for wood production and also ornamental uses. Only two poplar parents can generate by hybridization more than 500,000 different offspring phenotypes. The article reviews some international results and presents some Russian results of poplar hybridization, emphasizing the Central Chernozem Region of the European part of Russia. During 60 years 736 crosses were realized, resulting in 54,000 hybrid seedlings. In different field trials 243 superior clones were selected. For practical operations twelve cultivars of the most productive and frost resistant poplar hybrids were selected. Three of them are now approved as varieties by the state registration authorities. In order to mitigate the risks from unforeseen disease, injury or other adverse factors in defined environments several cultivars with close economic value but with different genetic composition should be available.
An effective recursive formula for the Frobenius covariants in matrix functions
Authors: Schäfer F. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
For theoretical studies, it is helpful to have an explicit expression for a matrix function. Several methods have been used to determine the required Frobenius covariants. This paper presents a recursive formula that calculates these covariants effectively. The new aspect of this method is the simple determination of the occurring coefficients in the covariants. The advantage is shown by several examples for the matrix exponential in comparision with Mathematica. The calculations are performed exactly.

Abstract
EU’s goal is to develop transport system which meets the economic, social and environmental requirements of society. Since first White paper on Transport in 1992 there was evolution of perception of quality and attributes of quality. The basic set of quality requirement is based on frequency, price, safety and security were dominating in 1992-2006, however since 2006 new attributes such as environment impact, and energy efficiency comes into force in European documents. However research case in Siauliai town show that it delays in user perception of quality.
The Norwegian State and Transgender Citizens: A Complicated Relationship
Authors: van der Ros Janneke 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe author argues that the Norwegian welfare state has renounced its duties toward a majority of citizens with gender incongruence (i.e. lack of correspondence between sex assigned at birth and a person’s gender identity). The National Treatment Centre for Transsexualism (NBTS in Norwegian), the sole authorised provider of healthcare for gender dysphoria (discomfort related to gender incongruence) in Norway, exercises a strict interpretation of the diagnostic criteria for transsexualism, and rejects all but a quarter of annual referrals. Those “disqualified” do not have access to a second opinion, nor has the Norwegian public health sector established alternative healthcare services, thereby failing its transgender citizens. With regard to legal issues, the Norwegian state failed its transgender citizens by requesting irreversible sterilisation until July 2016 before individuals with gender incongruence can claim legal gender recognition. This is an obvious breach of human rights. Additionally, those rejected by NBTS for not being so-called “real transsexuals” do not have an opportunity to request a legal gender change, and thus the state discriminates, once again, against these gender variant people. Moreover, the author points out that NBTS has a major say in the framing and implementation of trans healthcare policies, building on the conventional gender binary model, which is supported by the “gender-corrected women and men” of the Harry Benjamin Resource Centre (hereafter HBRS), the Clinic’s patient association. This policy framing ensures necessary trans related healthcare only to a very small proportion of citizens with gender incongruence, namely those “selected” by the NBTS, thus causing a grossly unequal distribution of resources within public healthcare services. In order to conceptualise these biased and discriminatory policies toward a considerable number of transgender and gender variant citizens, the author applies political science scholar Nancy Fraser’s conceptual framework of “recognition, (re)presentation and (re-)distribution”. Gender variant groups’ lack of recognition excludes them from access to political representation, and reproduces non-recognition of gender diversity in the transgender spectrum. The author understands the Norwegian authorities’ inept management of large groups of citizens with gender identity issues as institutionalised cisgenderism.
Crystal structure of vanuralite, Al[(UO2)2(VO4)2](OH)·8.5H2O
Authors: Plášil Jakub 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Vanuralite, Al[(UO2)2(VO4)2](OH)·8.5H2O, is a rare supergene uranyl vanadate that forms during hydration-oxidation weathering of uraninite in oxide zones of U deposits. On the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data it is monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a=10.4637(10), b=8.4700(5), c=20.527(2) Å, β=102.821(9)°, V=1773.9(3) Å3 and Z=4, D
calc.=3.561 g cm−3. The structure of vanuralite (R=0.058 for 2638 unique observed reflections) contains uranyl vanadate sheets of francevillite topology of the composition [(UO2)2(VO4)2]2−. Sheets are stacked perpendicular to c, and an interstitial complex [6]Al(OH)(H2O)4(H2O)4.5; adjacent structural sheets are linked through an extensive network of hydrogen bonds. Vanuralite is the most complex mineral among uranyl vanadates, with 961 bits/cell. The scarcity of occurrences is probably caused by the less common combination of elements present in the structure, as well as the relatively high complexity of the structure (compared to related minerals), arising namely from the complicated network of H-bonds.
A succinct access to ω-hydroxylated jasmonates via olefin metathesis
Authors: Jimenez-Aleman Guillermo H. , Seçinti Selina , Boland Wilhelm 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
In higher plants, jasmonates are lipid-derived signaling molecules that control many physiological processes, including responses to abiotic stress, defenses against insects and pathogens, and development. Among jasmonates, ω-oxidized compounds form an important subfamily. The biological roles of these ω-modified derivatives are not fully understood, largely due to their limited availability. Herein, a brief (two-step), simple and efficient (>80% yield), versatile, gram-scalable, and environmentally friendly synthetic route to ω-oxidized jasmonates is described. The approach utilizes olefin cross-metathesis as the key step employing inexpensive, commercially available substrates and catalysts.

Abstract
This article investigates the implementation of an integrated activation policy in Germany. The activation paradigm has been recently extended to target clients with multiple problems out of employment. In order to do so, an approach of activation is needed that integrates policy fields, policy actors and policy levels. We compare different forms of integration in three German cities and find that local factors really play a significant role.
Kommunale Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention
Authors: Böhm Katharina 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe article addresses the role of local government in health promotion and prevention in Germany. In a first step, it delineates the goals of health promotion and prevention policies in general and describes how these relate to the definition of prevention given in the editorial. The second part highlights the role of municipalities in health promotion and disease prevention. The third part describes five core elements of local health promotion and prevention policies: local health monitoring, the development of a coherent local health strategy, integration of local (health-related) administration, governance of relevant external actors, and securing participation at all process levels. Each of these five elements is illustrated with examples from North-Rhine Westphalian municipalities. The fourth part describes obstacles that health promoting and preventive policies encounter both in general and at the local level in particular. The author concludes that despite these obstacles, every small step towards more local action should be realized because of its potential to improve the health of the population.

Published: July 2017

Giant left atrial diverticulum is a rare congenital malformation that is most commonly diagnosed in incidental finding. Here, we reported a case of a 1-year-old asymptomatic child with a giant left atrial diverticulum. Diagnosis was established by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and confirmed by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). We excised the diverticulum and sewed its base under cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest. The patient had a good postoperative result.

Published: July 2017

Objective: To analyze the feasibility and advantages of transcranial doppler sonography (TCD) for monitoring and optimization of selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) in aortic arch surgery.Methods: From April 2013 to April 2014, nine patients with extensive aortic pathology underwent surgery under moderate hypothermic cardiac arrest with unilateral antegrade SCP under TCD monitoring in our institution. Adequate sonographic window and visualization of circle of Willis were to be confirmed. Intraoperatively, a cerebral cross-filling of the contralateral cerebral arteries on the unilateral SCP was to be confirmed with TCD. If no cross-filling was confirmed, an optimization of the SCP was performed via increasing cerebral flow and increasing PCO2. If not successful, the SCP was to be switched to bilateral perfusion. Air bubble hits were recorded at the termination of SCP.Results: A sonographic window was confirmed in all patients. Procedural success was 100%. The mean operative time was 298 ± 89 minutes. Adequate cross-filling was confirmed in 8 patients. In 1 patient, inadequate cross-filling was detected by TCD and an optimization of cerebral flow was necessary, which was successfully confirmed by TCD. There was no conversion to bilateral perfusion. Extensive air bubble hits were confirmed in 1 patient, who suffered a postoperative stroke. The 30-day mortality rate was 0. Conclusion: The TCD is feasible for cerebral perfusion monitoring in aortic surgery. It enables a confirmation of adequacy of cerebral perfusion strategy or the need for its optimization. Documentation of calcific or air-bubble hits might add insight into patients suffering postoperative neurological deficits.

Abstract: Introduction and aim: The aim was to study the patients’ adherence to some evidence-based medication (statins, beta blockers, platelet and RAS inhibitors) after suffering a myocardial infarction, and its impact on the outcome. Method: Retrospective observational cohort study was carried out from the data of the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2014. 14,843 patients were alive at the end of hospital treatment, from them, those who had no myocardial infarction or death until 180 days were followed for one year. The adherence was defined as the proportion of time from the index event to the endpoint (or censoring) covered with prescription fillings. The endpoint was defined as death or reinfarction. Information on filling prescriptions for statins, platelet aggregation inhibitors, beta blockers and ARB/ACEI-inhibitors were obtained. Multivariate regression was used to model adherence and survival time. Results: Good adherence (\>80%) to clopidogrel, statins, beta blockers, aspirin and ARB/ACEI was found in 64.9%, 54.4%, 36.5%, 31.7% and 64.0%, respectively. Patients treated with PCI during the index hospitalization had higher adherence to all medication (all p<0.01), except for beta-blocker (p = 0.484). Multivariate analysis confirmed that adherence to statins, to clopidogrel and ARB/ACEI-inhibitors was associated with 10.1% (p<0.0001), 10.4% (p = 0.0002) and 15.8% (p<0.0001) lower hazard of endpoint respectively for 25% points increase in adherence, controlling for age, sex, performing of PCI, 5 anamnestic data and date of index event. Adherence to aspirin and beta blockers was not significantly associated with the hazard. Conclusion: Higher adherence to some evidence-based medications was found to be associated with improved long term prognosis of the patients. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(27): 1051–1057.
Analogie i genealogie modlitwy w trzech religiach monoteistycznych
Authors: Marcinkowska Barbara 
Published: July 2017

Modlitwa jest jednym z najistotniejszych przejawów kultu obecnym w każdej religii. Ze względu na różnice występujące w poszczególnych religiach, a także uwarunkowania historyczne, geograficzne i kulturowe, modlitwa przybierała różnorodne formy i środki wyrazu. W niniejszym artykule zostały ukazane analogie pomiędzy modlitwą w judaizmie, chrześcijaństwie i islamie. Modlitwa Izraela wynikała z faktu przynależności do narodu żydowskiego, z którym Bóg zawarł przymierze. Zachowanie warunków owego przymierza stanowiło w przekonaniu człowieka wierzącego gwarancję, że jego modlitwa zostanie wysłuchana. Właściwością modlitwy chrześcijańskiej jest jej ukierunkowanie na osobę i zbawcze dzieło Chrystusa; Jego pośrednictwo stanowi zatem gwarancję skuteczności. Modlitwa w islamie stanowi jeden z pięciu filarów, tzn. podstawowych obowiązków, których przestrzeganie jest warunkiem zbawienia. Pomimo różnic występujących w wyżej omawianych religiach ich wspólną cechą jest podejmowanie dialogu człowieka z Bogiem i przekonanie, że prośby skierowane do Niego zostaną wysłuchane.
Donacja organów a logika daru. Chrześcijańskie spojrzenie na problem transplantacji
Authors: Stec Tomasz 
Published: July 2017

Transplantologia jest dzisiaj bardzo ważnym działem całej medycyny. Dzięki jej zabiegom coraz więcej ludzi chorych dostaje szanse na dalsze normalne życie. Problemem jest jednak większa liczba oczekujących na przeszczep niż liczba chętnych dawców. Aby wzrastała liczba transplantacji, niezbędne jest odpowiednie wychowywanie ku temu społeczeństwa. Jednym ze sposobów jest rozwijanie postawy, którą można opisać terminem „logika daru”. Człowiek jako istota społeczna jest w stanie poświęcić dla innych ludzi bardzo wiele, nawet ofiarować samego siebie. Postawę osoby, która decyduje się oddać swoje narządy, należy określić jako altruistyczną. Do takiej cnoty trzeba jednak człowieka odpowiednio wychować. Jest to tym samym droga do pozyskania większej liczby organów i wykluczenia niemoralnych nadużyć, takich jak chociażby handel narządami.Artykuł omawia problem transplantacji. Przedstawia, jak zmieniało się stanowisko Kościoła katolickiego wobec donacji organów, ukazuje nadużycia, które i dzisiaj są towarzyszą transplantacjom. Promuje „logikę daru”, czyli postawę przeciwną egoistycznemu postrzeganiu swojego ciała jako własności bezwzględnej.
The Combining the Roles of a Teacher and an Artist: the Analysis of the Prospective Theatre Teachers’ Action Research
Authors: Kazragytė Vida 
Published: July 2017

The article deals with the empirical study, which inquiries in the combining the roles of an artist and of a teacher during artistic creation and education processes. The data were obtained by making the qualitative analysis of the accounts of the prospective theatre teachers’ action research reports (N – 24). The prospective theatre teachers were creating the theatrical performances and taught the students who performed the roles in their performances.
There were not found any statements which would indicate that the roles of an artist and of a teacher are considered to be opposite to each other or hard to combine. The prospective theatre teachers are performing these roles in some types of combination: a) artist-teacher; b) artist- teacher specialist and 3) teacher-artist according to the different communication situations. During the performing of artist-teacher roles, communication with students is as if they were already artists. That is a way to raise the creative-artistic goals for students and encourage students to achieve them through learning. It can be said that this combination of roles is important, in view of the final objective. The artist- teacher specialist roles require to communicate with the imaginary artistic results (scenario), and the students work on the stage. In other words, to combine what is imaginary with what appears real. Also to determine which students’ skills are necessary to develop for the imaginary result to be closer to reality. This combination of roles is important, for to the evolving artistic result. According to the teacher-artist roles performing and communication is aimed at students “to grow up” to their actual role as artists. The teachers as artists take care of the development of the new students’ artistic abilities to be correct, based on what the students already have appropriate. And they try to develop the new student’s abilities needed for the performances. This makes the content of the education more purposeful and meaningful.
The prospective theatre teachers do not mention any difficulties associated with the combining of roles. Only when the artistic creation and education processes slow down or are no longer productive, they analyzed their communication and found dissonance stemming from the loss of the role of a teacher. It can be assumed that this is due to lack of teaching experience and the fact that a lot of time and concentration has been spent on the communication in the world of imagination. Imbalance occurs also when they lack the knowledge of theory.
The prospective theatre teachers combine the roles of an artist and of a teacher intuitively, without their explicit realisation. So, it is necessary to provide the students with knowledge about the combination of roles during the study process.
