Authors: Jegelevičienė Violeta , Merfeldaitė Odeta , Railienė Asta 
Published: May 2016

Career education is to be analysed as the factor of lifelong learning which promotes engagement, the adaption of labour force to the conditions of the market, entrepreneurship. It is the process of the acquisition and development of career competences which enables a person to manage his career. appropriate career choices, which have been made, have a great influence over person‘s successful socialisation. Career expectations, their analysis is a part of career planning which is oriented towards the formation of short-term and long-term career objectives. The article analyses the career expectations of senior pupils in the context of career education. The analysis of the theoretical concept of career expectations in the context of career education is presented and the analysis of the results of the quantitative study, which reveals career expectations of senior pupils, is introduced. The results of the study reveal the approach of senior pupils to their career and career expectations. The analysis of the study findings revealed that: senior pupils perceive a career in the context of contemporary career concept: as self-realisation, personal development, the sequence of learning and work experiences during life; after leaving school, further studies in the institutions of higher education are still the most popular choice; an extremely important factor of a good job and a successful career is also the reconciliation of hobbies and a job, and an opportunity to get engaged in an activity they enjoy; the respondents have career expectations not only with regard to personal development and honest assessment, but also working environment.

Authors: Alisauskiene Stefanija 
Published: May 2016

Inclusive early childhood practices are at the forefront of the research and practice efforts in many European countries. Inclusion in early childhood programs can set a trajectory for inclusion across the life course, making it critical that we include individuals with special educational needs in all facets of society from birth. In many European countries, including Lithuania, children with special educational needs and their families continue facing significant barriers to accessing inclusive high-quality early childhood practices and too many pre-school children with special educational needs and disabilities continue receiving special education services in separate settings, as opposed to the least restrictive environment. The aim of the research was to assess the realized and expected early childhood intervention practices while educating children with diverse needs in inclusive pre-school settings. The study was based on a survey using the instruments of Recommended Practices in Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education. The instrument includes the following topic areas: leadership, assessment, environment, family, instruction, interaction, collaboration, and transition.

Authors: Čižikienė Janina , Virbalienė Rita 
Published: May 2016

This article analyzes the peculiarities of the social pedagogical assistance at school. The purpose of social pedagogical assistance is defined in the education governing documents. These documents indicate that it is necessary to help the child to implement his right to education and to guarantee his safety at school. Thus, effective social pedagogical assistance helps to solve the problems at school: the abuse of psychotropic substances, juvenile delinquency growth, increase of emotional and physical violence, dropping out of school. Effective aid can be achieved through teamwork principles, which require different areas of information, knowledge and skills. The article presents a review of scientific literature and research data which can be applied for improving of social pedagogical assistance at school in order to help students and families by involving various specialists. The study revealed essential factors that affect the social pedagogical assistance organization and real assistance to the student at school.

SOME CASES OF INTEGRATED SOCIAL SERVICES IN POLAND
Authors: Grewiński Mirosław , Lizut Jaonna 
Published: May 2016

In Poland, public operations refer to the European debate on social policy and public policies, which focus on the development of social services and proper public management. An integrated approach to social services is the answer to the need for changes in the attitude to social problems, which require an extensive activity in the public field and the involvement of many organizations and institutions that create networks. This paper presents current experiences in integrating social services in Poland. Mostly, they have a local and testing character, but they are the “starting point” for the reorganization of the social assistance system. The integrated approach emphasizes the need of reorientation in perception of beneficiaries of social assistance, stimulating their activity and targeted public policies so that they take into consideration different lifestyles and needs. The reorganization and management of social policy system should lead to better social service delivery.
IDENTITY OF KĀRLIS RŪDOLFS KREICBERGS IN HIS LIFE
Authors: Medveckis Arturs 
Published: May 2016

The aim of the paper is to analyse the identity of Latvian pedagogue and conductor Kārlis Rūdolfs Kreicbergs (1921-2014), by using the author's elaborated theoretical model of identity research (2016), and the integrated author's approbated personality research model (2013). The personality research model, which, in its micro context, includes basic features of his personality - emotions, talent, behaviour and convictions, as well as adaptation characteristics - interests, motivations, values, attitudes, is supplemented with components determining the identity of the pedagogue: in mezzo context in the social environment, where the identity of the pedagogue, as well as family, identity in his everyday life, student's and religious identity is formed, but in micro context, - professional, national, local, political and cultural identity of the personality, thus creating a research model of the multidimensional identity of the teacher and factors influencing development thereof. After the approbated model with the help of qualitative research methods the obtained data are related to theoretical opinions about the identity formation of the pedagogue, thus approving the innovative character of the proposed theoretical model.
The Hand of The Silent Worker: Reading an ASL imageword
Authors: Kincheloe Pamela J. 
Published: May 2016

The essay argues that the attempt to represent ASL in two dimensions is not a new, postmodern phenomenon, but is instead one that is embedded in deaf history at least as far back as the nineteenth century. The essay then provides a close, historically contextual reading of a particular illustration from the October 1928 issue of The Silent Worker, showing evidence of a multivocal imageword; a successful two dimensional representation of ASL, depicted in a clash with the heteroglossic English text with which it appears.
Arthroscopic Repair of an Isolated Teres Minor Tear
Authors: Zaman Saif U. , Syed Hasan M. 
Published: May 2016

Case:
Isolated avulsion of the teres minor tendon is exceedingly uncommon and, to our knowledge, the presentation and arthroscopic repair of this type of injury have not been described. Known musculotendinous avulsions about the shoulder frequently involve the supraspinatus, long head of the biceps, and pectoralis major.

Conclusion:
We present the case of a patient with an isolated teres minor avulsion and an otherwise intact rotator cuff. The patient underwent successful arthroscopic repair and rehabilitation, allowing for a return to the pre-injury level of function.
Popliteal Artery Thrombosis After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of the Patella
Authors: Priddy Michael C. , Pollock Anthony G. , Chong Alexander C.M. 
Published: May 2016

Case:
A 31-year-old man presented with a right patellar fracture after a motor-vehicle accident. He had a history of a myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident, for which he reported taking aspirin and clopidogrel daily. One hour after surgery, an acute popliteal artery thrombosis was detected. The patient was ultimately successfully managed with endovascular placement of a catheter and a 14-hour infusion of tissue plasminogen activator. The patient had no further known thromboembolic events after 11 months of follow-up.

Conclusion:
High suspicion must be maintained for acute thromboembolic events in patients with a history of such events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether consumption of a single dental treat with specific mechanical properties and active ingredients would provide a 24-hour effect on dental plaque bacteria and halitosis in dogs.
ANIMALS 10 dogs of various breeds from a privately owned colony that had received routine dental scaling and polishing 4 weeks before the study began.
PROCEDURES Dogs were randomly assigned to receive 1 placebo or dental treat first. A 4-week washout period was provided, and then dogs received the opposite treatment. Oral plaque and breath samples were collected before and 0.5, 3, 12, and 24 hours after treat consumption. Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) concentration was measured in breath samples. Total aerobic, total anaerobic, Porphyromonas gulae, Prevotella intermedia–like, Tannerella forsythia, and Fusobacterium nucleatum bacterial counts (measured via bacterial culture) and total live bacterial counts, total live and dead bacterial counts, and bacterial vitality (measured via quantitative real-time PCR assay) were assessed in plaque samples.
RESULTS Compared with placebo treat consumption, dental treat consumption resulted in a significant decrease in breath VSCs concentration and all plaque bacterial counts, without an effect on bacterial vitality. Effects of the dental treat versus the placebo treat persisted for 12 hours for several bacterial counts and for 24 hours for breath VSCs concentration.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although clinical benefits should be investigated in larger scale, longer-term studies, results of this study suggested that feeding the evaluated dental treat may help to decrease oral bacterial growth in dogs for 12 hours and oral malodor for 24 hours. A feeding interval of 12 hours is therefore recommended.

Published: May 2016

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the anticollagenase efficacy of fresh feline, canine, and equine serum and plasma on in vitro corneal degradation.
SAMPLE Grossly normal corneas from recently euthanized dogs, cats, and horses and fresh serum and plasma from healthy dogs, cats, and horses.
PROCEDURES Serum and plasma were pooled by species and used for in vitro experiments. Corneas were collected and stored at −80°C. Sections of cornea were dried, weighed, and incubated in saline (0.9% NaCl) solution with clostridial collagenase and homologous fresh serum or plasma. Corneal degradation was assessed as the percentage of corneal weight loss and hydroxyproline concentration, compared with results for positive and negative control samples.
RESULTS Homologous fresh serum and plasma significantly reduced the percentage of corneal weight loss, compared with results for positive control samples. No significant difference was found in percentage of corneal weight loss between incubation with serum or plasma for feline, canine, and equine corneas. Canine serum and plasma significantly reduced hydroxyproline concentrations, whereas inclusion of feline and equine serum or plasma did not, compared with results for positive control samples. Hydroxyproline concentrations were moderately correlated with percentage of corneal weight loss for feline samples and weakly correlated for equine samples, but they were not correlated for canine samples.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE In this study, the anticollagenase efficacy of fresh feline, canine, and equine serum was not different from that of plasma. Plasma should be an acceptable substitute for serum in the topical treatment of keratomalacia.
Inventing Eco-Cycle
Authors: Smith-Nonini Sandy 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThis article discusses lessons learned from a social enterprise project supporting sustainability education in central North Carolina (U.S.A.). Since 2011, Eco-Cycle,1 a retail shop featuring creative-reuse has provided support for a community meeting space that offers weekly environmental education workshops. Many approaches to social justice-oriented green initiatives in the United States emulate urban agriculture models and tend to be grant-dependent in early years, only achieving economic sustainability with difficulty. In contrast, our non-profit co-op of upcycler crafters and vintage vendors grew out of production and marketing of upcycled rain barrels, based on a social enterprise approach rather than a traditional model. I discuss the stepping-stones to this venture, which originated through a neighbourhood energy conservation initiative, followed by alliance-building with non-profits to promote green job creation. I relate the complications and surprising forms of synergism emerging from the social enterprise approach to social theory on cooperatives and community-based development models.1Eco-Cycle is a pseudonym.
Villeray en transition : initiatives citoyennes d’appropriation de l’espace habité ?
Authors: Chanez Amélie , Lebrun-Paré Félix 
Published: May 2016

Cet article s’intéresse aux initiatives citoyennes qui prennent place dans le contexte des désappropriations associées à la mondialisation économique néolibérale et de la redéfinition du rapport au politique des citoyens. À partir de l’exemple des Initiatives de transition et plus précisément du cas de Villeray en transition (VET), les auteurs explorent le cadre théorique des Initiatives citoyennes d’appropriation de l’espace habité (ICAEH) ainsi que les dimensions sociales, symboliques et matérielles de cette dernière. Ces nouvelles formes d’initiatives se réalisent dans un rapport au politique caractérisé par une logique ascendante (en termes de participation citoyenne), une démarche réflexive, horizontale et conscientisante d’empowerment entre citoyens. C’est la volonté de créer un « meilleur quartier sans pétrole » dans une perspective optimiste et de développer un « art de vivre local » qui amène les citoyens comme ceux de VET à repenser leurs pratiques sociales de voisinage et à tisser des réseaux inclusifs au sein de Villeray. En s’appropriant symboliquement et socialement l’espace habité, les citoyens transforment progressivement les pratiques matérielles de leur quartier.

AbstractGlobal mass balance calculations indicate the majority of particulate organic carbon (POC) exported from shelf seas is transferred via downslope exchange processes. Here we demonstrate the downslope flux of POC from the Hebrides Shelf is approximately 3‐ to 5‐fold larger per unit length/area than the global mean. To reach this conclusion, we quantified the offshore transport of particulate and dissolved carbon fractions via the “Ekman Drain,” a strong downwelling feature of the NW European Shelf circulation, and subsequently compared these fluxes to simultaneous regional air‐sea CO2 fluxes and onshore wind‐driven Ekman fluxes to constrain the carbon dynamics of this shelf. Along the shelf break, we estimate a mean offshelf total carbon (dissolved + particulate) flux of 4.2 tonnes C m−1 d−1 compared to an onshelf flux of 4.5 tonnes C m−1 d−1. Organic carbon represented 3.3% of the onshelf carbon flux but 6.4% of the offshelf flux indicating net organic carbon export. Dissolved organic carbon represented 95% and POC 5% of the exported organic carbon pool. When scaled along the shelf break the total offshelf POC flux (0.007 Tg C d−1) was found to be 3 times larger than the regional air‐sea CO2 ingassing flux (0.0021 Tg C d−1), an order of magnitude larger than the particulate inorganic carbon flux (0.0003 Tg C d−1) but far smaller than the DIC (2.03 Tg C d−1) or DOC (0.13 Tg C d−1) fluxes. Significant spatial heterogeneity in the Ekman drain transport confirms that offshelf carbon fluxes via this mechanism are also spatially heterogeneous.

AbstractWe present Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission measurements during a full magnetopause crossing associated with an enhanced southward ion flow. A quasi‐steady magnetospheric whistler mode wave emission propagating toward the reconnection region with quasi‐parallel and oblique wave angles is detected just before the opening of the magnetic field lines and the detection of escaping energetic electrons. Its source is likely the perpendicular temperature anisotropy of magnetospheric energetic electrons. In this region, perpendicular and parallel currents as well as the Hall electric field are calculated and found to be consistent with the decoupling of ions from the magnetic field and the crossing of a magnetospheric separatrix region. On the magnetosheath side, Hall electric fields are found smaller as the density is larger but still consistent with the decoupling of ions. Intense quasi‐parallel whistler wave emissions are detected propagating both toward and away from the reconnection region in association with a perpendicular anisotropy of the high‐energy part of the magnetosheath electron population and a strong perpendicular current, which suggests that in addition to the electron diffusion region, magnetosheath separatrices could be a source region for whistler waves.
Occurrence characteristics of outer zone relativistic electron butterfly distribution: A survey of Van Allen Probes REPT measurements

Published: May 2016

AbstractUsing Van Allen Probes Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope (REPT) pitch angle resolved electron flux data from September 2012 to March 2015, we investigate in detail the global occurrence pattern of equatorial (|λ| ≤ 3°) butterfly distribution of outer zone relativistic electrons and its potential correlation with the solar wind dynamic pressure. The statistical results demonstrate that these butterfly distributions occur with the highest occurrence rate ~ 80% at ~ 20–04 magnetic local time (MLT) and L > ~ 5.5 and with the second peak (> ~ 50%) at ~ 11–15 MLT of lower L shells ~ 4.0. They can also extend to L = 3.5 and to other MLT intervals but with the occurrence rates predominantly < ~25%. It is further shown that outer zone relativistic electron butterfly distributions are likely to peak between 58° and 79° for L = 4.0 and 5.0 and between 37° and 58° for L = 6.0, regardless of the level of solar wind dynamic pressure. Relativistic electron butterfly distributions at L = 4.0 also exhibit a pronounced day‐night asymmetry in response to the Pdyn variations. Compared to the significant L shell and MLT dependence of the global occurrence pattern, outer zone relativistic electron butterfly distributions show much less but still discernable sensitivity to Pdyn, geomagnetic activity level, and electron energy, the full understanding of which requires future attempts of detailed simulations that combine and differentiate underlying physical mechanisms of the geomagnetic field asymmetry and scattering by various magnetospheric waves.
