Recognizing and Valuating Intangible Resources - Major Difficulties in Organisational Management
Authors: Stan Sebastian , Dumitrascu Dănuț , Pele Antonio 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe measurement of intangible resources, intellectual capital, has become a major area of investigation for researchers and practitioners, with increasing concerns for monitoring and valuating this type of capital. In spite of this, the approaches to these issues have not been harmonised, therefore management is currently experiencing real difficulties in the assessment and measurement of intangible resources. In this article we wanted to review the valuation of intangible resources from a theoretical point of view, by highlighting the features of the most important valuation methods established in the literature.
Suicidal Deaths an a Water Environment
Authors: Michniewicz Iwona , Michniewicz Romuald 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Unexpected, abrupt death is always a great tragedy, both for a victim, as well as, for their family, friends, society or even country. However, death as a result of a suicide always seems to be unnecessary and difficult to accept by relatives. Every 40 seconds someone dies on the globe due to a kind of an auto-destruction act. Out of all suicides, the biggest group are adult men, frequently with mental disorders, who commit suicide by hanging themselves. The only suicide method where women are almost on the par with men is drowning (by many authors referred to as death by drowning).

AbstractIntroduction. The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional outcomes in degenerative disc disease patients by the type of herniation. Methods. The study covered 48 individuals (28 females and 20 males) aged 18-35 years who were found with a degenerative disc disease in lumbar spine (protrusion or extrusion according to the American Society of Neuroradiology). The participants were divided into two groups by the type of herniation: the protrusion and the extrusion group. The functional outcome was assessed with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results. Statistically significant differences were shown in ODI scores in both groups. The extrusion group demonstrated a 7.6% higher level of functional disability related to lumbar spine pain when compared with the protrusion group. The NRS results were not statistically significant between the groups. A statistically significant difference was observed between the groups during standing position, during sleep and in sex life. Respectively a 27%, 32%, and 28% greater number of individuals in the extrusion group reported problems related to these three daily activities when compared with the protrusion group. Conclusions. Our study results revealed statistically significant differences in general ODI scores between the groups. Moreover, patients with protruded lumbar disc showed better outcomes in routine activities when compared with the extrusion group.

AbstractIntroduction. Assessment of quality of life in patients suffering from chronic venous disease of the lower extremity who were treated with compression garments. Methods. Patients of both sexes aged 30-75 years with chronic venous disease and at least varices, but without active ulceration, were qualified for the study. To assess the quality of life, the CIVIQ-20 questionnaire was used before and after 4 weeks of compression therapy with second class compression. Results. The combined results of the CIVIQ scale rose from 61.49% before compression to 75.17% after 4 weeks of compression therapy (p 0.01). No correlation was found between sex, age, career status or type of work and the averaged CIVIQ score. Conclusions. Compression therapy with special garments significantly improves the quality of life in patients with chronic venous disease. Larger studies are still needed in this field.

A characterization of regular, intra-regular, left quasi-regular and semisimple hypersemigroups in terms of fuzzy sets
Authors: Kehayopulu Niovi 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
We prove that an hypersemigroup H is regular if and only, for any fuzzy subset f of H, we have f ≼ f ο 1 ο f and it is intra-regular if and only if, for any fuzzy subset f of H, we have f ≼1 ο f ο f ο 1. An hypersemigroup H is left (resp. right) quasi-regular if and only if, for any fuzzy subset f of H we have f ≼ 1 ο f ο 1 ο f (resp. f ≼ f ο 1 ο f ο 1) and it is semisimple if and only if, for any fuzzy subset f of H we have f ≼ 1 ο f ο 1 ο f ο 1. The characterization of regular and intra-regular hypersemigroups in terms of fuzzy subsets are very useful for applications.
Fuel Station Valuation under Polish and RICS Standards

Published: July 2017

Abstract
In the last few years, there has been a visible change in the structure of the fuel station market in both Poland and the United Kingdom. The changes taking place both in the fuel station market structure and the management forms of fuel stations, along with the increasing significance of convenience goods sales, result in the necessity of verifying the existing Polish valuation standards of the income approach. Moreover, there is an urgent need to develop specific fuel station valuation guidelines. Fuel station valuation requires both the specific approach and profits method adjustment to be able to account for the specificity of the valuation. The universal character of property valuation in Poland cannot result in ignoring the specificity of fuel station valuation and the market where it operates. Property valuers undertaking valuations of this type of facilities must be familiar with the rules operating on the fuel station market. This paper focuses on the comparison analysis of the fuel station market structure in Poland and the United Kingdom along with the specificity of the way fuel stations operate. Its emphasis is on the comparison analysis of fuel station valuation methods under Polish and RICS standards in order to show their similarities and differences. The aim of the paper is to present the methods of fuel station valuation in Poland and the United Kingdom, though mainly to show the areas of changes in the Polish valuation standards with regards to the profits method under the income approach that would take into account the specificity of fuel stations and their market.
Socially Responsible Property Investment in Cities – Between Economic Reasoning and Social Obligations
Authors: Brodowicz Dominika P. 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThis article focuses on socially responsible property investment (SRPI), which is an investment estimated not only to bring financial gain but also social and environmental benefits. The theoretical part of the paper draws on existing literature on responsible investment. The empirical part discussed in this article is based on original research conducted by the author. Starting with a global and regional overview, the query was narrowed down to a national level (Poland) with a case study of the capital - Warsaw. The overarching research problem was described as follows: How are SRPI principles manifested and implemented by investors in the commercial real estate market? Additionally, investigation was supported by numerous questions regarding the interest in SRPI and an understanding of its principles and benefits among investors. Research goals were pursued based on primary and secondary data sources regarding existing and planned SRPI projects within the commercial real estate industry. Results indicate that there is a disparity between declared support for SRPI and market practice. At the conceptual level, there is an understanding of responsible investment principles and will to conduct such projects. However, commercial property practice proves a different reality with primary focus on green buildings, while the social factor is missing.
The Problem of Reflecting the Market in the Legal Principles of Real Estate Valuation in Poland. How to Eliminate the “Legal Footprint”?
Authors: Konowalczuk Jan 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
This paper presents and subjects to criticism the current principles of real estate valuation, which were introduced in Poland in the 1990’s during the return to a market economy, under the conditions of an underdeveloped real estate market. Against the background of the hypothesis of institutional maladjustment of the methodology to the current level of real estate market development, the author assesses the imitative manner of creating the valuation methodology and its discontinuation in 1998, resulting from the introduction of rigid legal regulations, which have significantly limited the ability of ongoing adjustment of the methodology to the market needs. The paper deals with the problems of defining market value and classifying valuation. The author assumes that the appraisal regarding the market value should be based on a descriptive model of real estate valuation, which should make it possible to reflect the market. He draws attention to the negative effects of valuation methodology which prevents or hinders the mapping of the market in appraisal reports. He proposes a change in the order of the legal principles of property valuation, based on a hierarchical model consisting of three elements: the definition and interpretation of value, the market and the methods of valuation.
Changes On the Housing Market of the Downtown Area in Selected Polish Cities

Published: July 2017

Abstract
Large Polish cities are currently dealing with an increasing significance of downtown areas, extending outside of the city centers (meaning the area directly surrounding the city square). The downtown alone seems to influence the fate of entire cities, facilitating their success or contributing to their failure. A good demographic, social and economic condition of a downtown, its positive image and the dynamic development of the part of the city perceived as the business and administration centre and a meeting place of residents and tourists, contribute to the image and potential of the whole city to a great extent. Changes in urban surroundings, the signs of which may be observed in spatial, aesthetic, architectural, urban-planning and socio-economic aspects, determine the functioning and condition of local real estate markets. Whether potential buyers consider the real estate attractive depends on the assessment of its significant features, of which transaction price is representative. The main research objective of the article is the identification, assessment and interpretation of differences in prices registered in the years 2009-2014 in downtown residential real estate markets. These considerations have been referred to analogical phenomena within the entire cities under examination. The detailed research objective is an attempt to explain the sources of individual reactions of the analyzed real estate markets in downtown areas. The cities under research include: Bydgoszcz, Kalisz, Toruń and Wrocław. The authors applied quantitative analysis (statistical, comparative) to transaction data registered in local residential real estate markets.
An atypical type I gastric neuroendocrine tumor
Authors: Gheorghe Andrada-Viorela , Rimbas Mihai , Ginghina Octav , Spanu Andrada , Voiosu Theodor Alexandru 
Published: July 2017

Abstract

Background. Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (GI-NETs) are rare lesions, usually discovered incidentally during endoscopy. Based on their pathology, there are 4 types of GI-NETs. Type I are multiple small polypoid lesions with central ulceration located in the gastric body or the fundus, associated with atrophic gastritis usually noninvasive and very rarely metastatic. We report on a rare case of a gastric NET arising from the muscularis propria layer of the pyloric ring.

Case report. We present the case of a 65-year old woman with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis, investigated for melena. Upper endoscopy revealed a 30 mm submucosal pedunculated polypoid lesion located on the pylorus protruding in the duodenum, with normal overlying mucosa, fundic gastric atrophy and multiple small polyps at this level, with no active bleeding. CT scan did not reveal any distant metastases. An ultrasound endoscopy was performed, and a round hypoechoic heterogeneous solitary mass, evolving from the pyloric muscle was described. Considering a 30-mm tumor evolving from the gastric muscle layer in the absence of local invasion and with no distant metastases we decided against an endoscopical resection and we referred the patient to surgery. A laparoscopic wedge resection was performed. The pathology report described a 30/25 mm welldifferentiated neuroendocrine tumor invasive in the muscularis mucosa (pT3).

Conclusions. Usually, type I neuroendocrine tumors are located in the body or the fundus of the stomach without submucosal invasion. The interesting feature in our case was that the tumor originated from the pylorus, making it an atypical presentation for a neuroendocrine tumor.
Methodological Approach to Determining the Effect of Parallel Energy Consumption on District Heating System
Authors: Latosov Eduard , Volkova Anna , Siirde Andres , Kurnitski Jarek , Thalfeldt Martin 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
District heating (DH) offers the most effective way to enhance the efficiency of primary energy use, increasing the share of renewable energy in energy consumption and decreasing the amount of CO2 emissions. According to Article 9 section 1 of the Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings, the Member states of the European Union are obligated to draw up National Plans for increasing the number of nearly zero-energy buildings [1]. Article 2 section 2 of the same Directive states that the energy used in nearly zero-energy buildings should be created covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including energy from renewable sources produced on-site or nearby. Thus, the heat distributed by DH systems and produced by manufacturing devices located in close vicinity of the building also have to be taken into account in determining the energy consumption of the building and the share of renewable energy used in the nearly zero-energy buildings.
With regard to the spreading of nearly zero-energy and zero-energy houses, the feasibility of on-site energy (heat and/or electricity) production and consumption in DH areas energy (i.e. parallel consumption, when the consumer, connected to DH system, consumes energy for heat production from other sources besides the DH system as well) needs to be examined. In order to do that, it is necessary to implement a versatile methodological approach based on the principles discussed in this article.
You Sluice and hai Modification in Chinese
Authors: Wei Ting-Chi 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThis paper argues that you ‘have’ sluice is a variant of pseudosluicing, akin to shi ‘be’ sluice in Chinese. You sluice can be analyzed as a base-generated structure [pro you ‘have’ wh-phrase], consisting of a subject pro, a verb you ‘have’, and a wh-phrase, having nothing to do with movement and deletion. In this simple clause, the pro can either refer to a nominal antecedent or an event antecedent; you ‘have’ mainly denotes possessive or existential readings as well as extended attributive uses. This analysis further reveals how circum-phrase chule … yiwei ‘besides’ semantically and syntactically interacts with hai ‘still’ in you sluice to express else modification in English sluicing derived by movement and deletion.
Haben Otto Neugebauer und William Feller die Niljahre richtig gemittelt?
Authors: Krauss Rolf 
Published: July 2017

Summary
Neugebauer critized Meyer’s hypothesis that the 365-day calendar resulted from observation of the heliacal risings of Sothis, maintaining that astronomical observation should have resulted in a year of 365.25 days. Instead, Neugebauer traced the 365-day calendar back to a Nile year based on computational equalization of varying successive intervals between minimum or maximum gauge readings. He did not propose the anachronistic calculation of the arithmetic average but alluded instead to a procedure using stroke marks allegedly resulting in years of 365 full days, while neglecting the quarter-day. Neugebauer and his collaborator Feller overlooked the fact that four successive years of 365.25 days equal 1461 full days and that the sums of numerous successive intervals between the same gauge values fractionize into multiples of Nile years of 365 and 366 full days. Thus, a revised analysis of long-term Nile year statistics produces the same results as a short-term observation of the heliacal risings of Sirius.
Von Malachit zu Kupfer
Authors: Nutz Rainer 
Published: July 2017

Summary
Petrie describes in „Researches in Sinai“ an expedition into Serabit el-Khadim to extract minerals. Newer excavations in Ayn Soukhna allow insight into the reduction of malachite to copper. Reducing malachite to copper proves to be a very energy-intensive process. To obtain the necessary temperatures over a sufficiently long period of time a surprisingly high amount of charcoal has to be mixed with small-grained mineral under constant air supply. In dry climate wood grows comparatively slowly which translates into requirements of larger wooded areas to provide enough wood for the production of charcoal. This research paper aims at collecting pertinent data to improve the transparency of these processes. But only additional parameters will allow better models and help to paint a clearer picture.

The efficacy of cervical encerclage on the course of labour in well selected cases: a prospective study at a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Shinde Kunaal , Karake Anand V. , Shekhawat Gulabsingh , Shivale Hiralal 
Published: July 2017

Background: The two major problems for modern obstetrics and perinatal medicine are recurrent second trimester abortions and preterm delivery. Cervical insufficiency or incompetency is defined as the inability of the uterine cervix to retain a pregnancy in the absence of contractions or labor. Cervical encerclage is a simple but a resourceful procedure for improving the fetal outcome in cases proven with cervical incompetence, is a boon to modern obstetrics.Methods: A prospective analytical study was carried out at tertiary care teaching hospital for a period of ten years. Three hundred and twenty cases of bad obstetric history (repeated abortions, preterm labor) with previous pregnancy losses probably due to cervical incompetence or ultrasonographical evidence of short cervix were included in the study. These cases were subjected to cervical encerclage operation in the second trimester.Results: Out of the 289 cases, who underwent McDonald’s procedure, 12 women had abortion, 66 had preterm labor and 211 women reached term. Out of the 31 cases who underwent Wurm’s procedure; 4 had abortion, 17 had preterm delivery and 10 women reached to term. In the present study, the average interval from cerclage to delivery was 115 days. It was observed that the fetal salvage rate was unsatisfactory in women having short cervix with open internal os before encirclage. Infant salvage rate in this study after encerclage operation was 86%.Conclusions: Cervical encerclage when done in properly selected cases, results in improvement in fetal salvage up to eighty percent.
