Abstract
The Tell el-Retaba archaeological site is located at Wadi Tumilat, a shallow valley running from the Nile Delta to the Bitter Lakes. In ancient times, a route connecting Egypt with Syria-Palestine ran across the site. In the 13th century BC, during the rule of Ramesses II, a fortress surrounded by “Wall 1” was erected and in times of Ramesses III in the 12th century BC, a larger fortress surrounded by “Wall 2” and “Wall 3” was constructed. Using the finite element method (FEM) and ZSoil 2D&3D software, the wall heights were modelled and their soil-structure interaction was analysed. Strength of the wall depended on size and strength of bricks and mortar, brickwork, wall shape and foundation. Ancient builders using mud bricks must have known from practical experience the essentials of a wall construction, in which the height to width ratio was at 1.75 to 1.85. Moreover, they must have related the engineering properties of the material with the height of the construction and its purpose. The width to height ratio must have been used and related by ancient Egyptians to the ground resistance. Modelling has shown that, at wall width of 5 m, the foundation would have lost its stability at wall height of 13–14 m and bricks from the lower part of the wall would be destroyed. According to the undertaken assumptions, in order to retain stability, the wall height must have been limited to about 8–9 m.
Evaluation of a Campus Service Quality Recreational Scale
Authors: Mokoena Bakae Aubrey , Dhurup Manilal Roy 
Published: January 2018

AbstractIn the past two decades, several researchers have applied service quality frameworks in sport-related domains in measuring service quality among participants. However, university campus recreation has been scarce as compared to organised sport at local, regional and national levels, which often depends on a limited tenure linked to their membership as a registered student at a university. The purpose of the study is to investigate service quality dimensions as perceived by university leisure and recreation students. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken among 301 university students using a non-probability purposive sampling. Variables that constituted campus recreation service quality were operationalised through a literature review, including sport and recreational scales. Through factor analysis, seven distinct dimensions of campus recreation service quality were established. These factors were labelled: people interaction, facility design, sociability, physical change, equipment, ambience and program range. Item total correlations show satisfactory convergence of the items within their relevant constructs. This study complements the existing recreational sports body of knowledge by exploring campus recreation service quality. These dimensions may assist campus recreation mangers to understand the dimensions that are pertinent among students within a university context better. Recreation managers, in their periodic measurement of service quality, can incorporate these dimensions.
Understanding Success according to Crowdfunding Project’s Initiators
Authors: Costa e Silva Susana , Vieira Ana Isabel Tavares 
Published: January 2018

AbstractOver the past few years, a large number of projects related to entrepreneurship ideas have appeared daily in the media, due to the fact that they were sold as new solutions for companies or gave origin to new companies. These projects were mainly created by individuals who were students, unemployed persons or working people and, consequently, did not have a company of their own and, in most of the cases, also did not have the means to finance their idea. In some situations, the creation of a crowdfunding project presents itself as a convenient and riskless option for funding and this is frequently the reason why some project initiators decide to launch a campaign. The assessment of each campaign depends on the expectations of the project creator, who is in the best position to decide whether it was actually successful. Untangling how a project owner can assess the performance of its project is of major importance, namely when projects are launched by individuals who ultimately carry all the tasks involved in the initiative. This is a field of research within crowdfunding that remains, to the best of our knowledge, under researched. We propose a framework for the analysis of the success of these projects and we test it on six crowdfunding projects launched in Portugal. Our goal is to shed light to the factors that can be used by project creators in the assessment of the performance of their initiatives.
Linear revitalization – problems and challenges. Discursive article
Authors: Sas-Bojarska Aleksandra 
Published: January 2018

Summary
The aim of the article, defined by the author as discursive, is to give the answer as to whether within ‘revitalization’ we should distinguish the notion of ‘linear revitalization’ – not yet defined in Polish and English-language literature. The author presents the thesis that we should do so by presenting the idea, its specific character and its role. This kind of action seems to have, in the author’s opinion, a positive influence on contemporary cities regarding the growing problems that result from fragmentation and lack of physical, social, economic and ecological connectivity. The general overview of revitalization provides the basis for proving the necessity of specific solutions relating to degraded linear structures. Linear revitalization, as presented, relates to different city structures which need renewal. It may become an important tool for sustainable city development and may improve the quality of life. Theoretical deliberations, presenting the reasons, needs, ideas, draft classifications, tasks and positive effects of linear revitalization have been supplemented by some case studies from Poland and abroad. The benefits to whole city structures of carrying out linear revitalization are presented. They justify the creation of a new definition and further research. The approach presented, being in the author’s opinion the beginning of the discussion, meets the need to look for effective new methods and tools within urban revitalization, solving the problems and fulfilling the new challenges of contemporary cities.
Assessment of the walking accessibility of public libraries in Krakow using the E2SFCA approach
Authors: Huhndorf Simon , Działek Jarosław 
Published: January 2018

AbstractPublic libraries play an important role for local neighbourhoods as they function as community hubs. In an ideal case libraries would be located in such a way that a high level of equity in access to them is ensured. This study examines whether or not this equity of access is provided in the case of Krakow where the network of public libraries has recently been reorganised. Besides other methods of measuring accessibility the authors utilise the enhanced two-step floating catchment area approach in order to uncover spatial differences in potential accessibility on foot. Findings from the analyses indicate that, with the exception of the central districts of Krakow, every district is faced with an accumulation of more or less neglected areas. In addition, the work highlights that almost one quarter of Krakow’s population is affected by poor accessibility on foot (more than 20 minutes walk) to the nearest library. The study concludes that the variations in access to libraries presented should be considered by local planners in future phases of the planning of new libraries.

Authors: Siddique M. , Jamil M. , Rasheed A. , Areeb F. , Javed Asif , Sumera P. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
We studied the influence of the classical relativistic beam of electrons on the hole acoustic wave (HAW) instability exciting in the semiconductor quantum plasmas. We conducted this study by using the quantum-hydrodynamic model of dense plasmas, incorporating the quantum effects of semiconductor plasma species which include degeneracy pressure, exchange-correlation potential and Bohm potential. Analysis of the quantum characteristics of semiconductor plasma species along with relativistic effect of beam electrons on the dispersion relation of the HAW is given in detail qualitatively and quantitatively by plotting them numerically. It is worth mentioning that the relativistic electron beam (REB) stabilises the HAWs exciting in semiconductor (GaAs) degenerate plasma.

Background: Urinary bladder cancer (UBC) is the ninth most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve survival of patients. In order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive urinary bladder cancer, a large number of tumor markers have been identified and strictly assessed. Some of the best candidates as predictive markers in oncologic diseases belong to the family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The main focus of investigation in this study was on MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) as plasma biomarkers in patients with urinary bladder cancer (depending on tumor stage).
Methods: Plasma levels of MMP-9 were significantly higher in all patients with UBC compared to control subjects. The plasma level of MMP-8 in Stage III UBC patients was 1.2 times higher than in control group. The plasma level of MMP-3 was higher in patients with bladder cancer of Stage I, II or III (compared to control subjects). Moreover, high plasma levels of TIMP-1 were observed in patients with UBC stages III and IV.
Results: Overall, the measurements of circulating blood levels of MMP-1 and MMP-2 are progressively dissimilar among the various groups (UBC versus control subjects). Thus, changes in MMP levels may be used for monitoring and/or predicting progression of UBC.

Ki döntsön az élet végén? Az ellátás előzetes tervezésének nemzetközi gyakorlata és hazai lehetőségei
Authors: Busa Csilla , Zeller Judit , Csikós Ágnes 
Published: January 2018

Abstract: At the advanced stage of serious illness, end-of-life decisions need to be made. Advance care planning offers patients the right to decide on their own future care when independent decision-making is no longer possible. The most complex and effective advance care plans include patients’ preferred or refused medical treatments, care-related wishes, and individual values as well. Advance care planning can improve end-of-life care and contribute to higher satisfaction. It can also reduce distress in relatives and the costs of care. Patients’ preferences provide a guidance for professional care. A number of studies have identified the benefits of advance care planning, and it has been included in guidelines. Potential barriers to advance care planning could be as follows: taboo of talking about dying, negative attitudes of patients and relatives, poor knowledge of professional caregivers, lack of necessary circumstances to have the conversation. Advance care planning is almost unknown in Hungary, although it is possible to refuse certain types of treatments. Cooperation of professionals, development of gradual and postgraduate trainings, and improvement of social awareness are also needed so that advance care planning can be adapted in Hungary.

Published: January 2018

Apstrakt
Bavljenje dece fizičkom aktivnošću i njihov odnos prema fizičkom vaspitanju nalaze se u direktnoj sprezi sa njihovim stavovima. Mnogobrojna istraživanja su ukazala na značaj bavljenja fizičkom aktivnošću za adekvatan razvoj organizma, a samim tim i za usvajanje zdravih stilova života. Cilj ovog rada bio je da se ispitaju stavovi učenika od V do VIII razreda osnovne škole prema fizičkom vaspitanju, a zatim i da se utvrdi da li postoji značajna razlika u pozitivnom stavu prema fizičkom vaspitanju u odnosu na pol učenika, uzrast i bavljenje fizičkom aktivnošću tokom slobodnog vremena učenika. Uzorku su činile 102 devojčice i 97 dečaka (N=199), ranog adolescentskog uzrasta. Za merenje stavova učenika prema fizičkom vaspitanju primenjen je instrument SATPE. Drugi deo upitnika je konstruisan za potrebe ovog istraživanja i sadržao je pitanja o polu, uzrastu i bavljenju fizičkim aktivnostima u slobodnom vremenu. Dobijeni rezultati su pokazali: da učenici imaju umereno pozitivan stav prema fizičkom vaspitanju; da nema značajne razlike u stavovima učenika prema fizičkom vaspitanju u odnosu na njihov pol; da stariji učenici imaju negativniji stav prema fizičkom vaspitanju i da učenci koji se bave fizičkim aktivnostima u slobodno vreme imaju pozitivniji stav prema fizičkom vaspitanju.

Monção de Vimala Devi: Contos de Goa à Moda Europeia
Authors: Festino Cielo Griselda 
Published: January 2018

Esse artigo traz uma leitura do ciclo de contos Monção (1963) da escritora goesa Vimala Devi. Esse gênero literário permite ao autor dar visibilidade ao que Deleuze e Guattari (1975) chamam de literaturas menores: literaturas de comunidades minoritárias, mas escritas em línguas canônicas, neste caso a literatura de Goa em língua portuguesa. Logo, nos passos de Homi Bhabha (1994) os contos desta antologia são lidos em termos do conceito de momentos de estranhamento quando, de uma perspectiva crítica a autora desconstrói a ideia de Goa ser um local sossegado e problematiza questões sociais que mantiveram sua comunidade estagnada por tanto tempo.
