Authors: Oliveira Tatiane Dos Santos , Lopes Arianna Oliveira Santana 
Published: December 2016

Introdução: As unidades básicas de saúde necessitam de gerenciamento voltado a consecução das metas que atendam ao setor. Assim, o enfermeiro é o profissional que apresenta conhecimento, habilidades e atitudes que podem reparar a dificuldade nas condições das redes de serviços. Objetivo:verificar a atuação do enfermeiro na gerencia das unidades básicas de saúde. Materiais e Métodos:Trata-se de estudo descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, que utilizou como instrumento um questionário, sendo a amostra representada por 07 participantes. O tratamento dos dados foi realizado por tabulação e sistematização. Resultados: A maioria dos gerentes eram mulheres, enfermeiras e pós-graduadas, entre 30 e 40 anos, apresentando menos de uma no de experiência profissional em gerenciamento. O uso de instrumentos gerenciais foi baixo tanto para a organização como para gestão, apresentando uma utilização do SIAB em 4 gerencias (57%), do SIM em 1 (14%), do SINASC em 1 (14%), do SINAN em 1 (14%); do HIPERDIA em 1 (14%), do SISPRENATAL em 2 (29%), dos relatórios e registros próprios da unidade em 5 (71%), e de outros instrumentos em 3 (43%), porém essa utilização está relacionada ao pouco tempo de experiência e as mudanças continuas nos instrumentos. Os gerentes apontaram um trabalho eficaz na relação entre instituição e comunidade, onde 100% indicaram trabalhar nesse sentido. Conclusão: Evidenciou-se comprometimento da gestão e busca pela melhoria da gerencia, que deve ser permeada por políticas orientadoras, no entanto é necessária a utilização dos instrumentos de gerencia e organização, afim de potencializar as atividades desenvolvias nesse ambiente.Gerência; Unidades Básicas de Saúde; Enfermeiro; Instrumentos Gerenciais

Published: December 2016

Os agrotóxicos compõe uma variedade de substancias químicas, que são utilizados pelo ser humano, mas estes podem se apresentar como contaminantes do ambiente e com isso trazer riscos aos seres vivos, e o uso indiscriminado gera consequências graves no que diz respeito ao contato de trabalhadores com tais substâncias. E entre as formas de contaminação dos agrotóxicos, pode-se citar a água usada para irrigação e manejo da agricultura como uma fonte que é facilmente contaminada, o que é um risco para o meio ambiente e para a saúde pública. Diante deste contexto, este estudo teve por objetivo fazer um levantamento dos estudos que analisam águas contaminadas com agrotóxico. A partir disto, por meio da discussão da temática com a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental fundamentada no método qualitativo, demonstra-se que a água e a sua condição é fator essencial para a segurança dos alimentos e saúde do consumidor e por isso é necessário a vistoria da qualidade da água sempre que utilizada para consumo humano, além da análise de resíduos de agrotóxicos nas mesmas.

Authors: Şen  Demir Şirvan , Manap Davras Gonca , Uzun Havva 
Published: December 2016

Cruise tourism, which is evaluated within marine tourism, has significant environmental, economic, and socio-cultural impacts on visited ports. Cruise tourism is an activity that provides economic income to the harbors and creates new jobs. The cruise tourism has an increasing demand in the recent years because cruise ship visitors both have an opportunity to see many countries and cities in a short time and have a vacation on a luxury ship, which has a comfort standard like a holiday village. With her historical, cultural and natural attractions, Turkey is located in very strategic and convenient point and also Turkey is so close to destinations that cruise ships prefer to visit in the Mediterranean Basin. In 2014, approximately 22 million tourist travelled with cruise ships in the World and 1.8 million cruise passengers came to Turkey. The aim of this study is evaluate the development of cruise tourism in Turkey in terms of port operations. In previous studies it has focused on the development of cruise tourism but has not been evaluated in terms of port operations perspective. Semi-structured interview technique was used in the study and interviewed with General Manager of Antalya Global Ports Holding, which is one of Turkey’s most important port operations. Turkey and in the World cruise tourism is compared and has been reached important information about the development of cruise tourism.

(fossil Juglandaceae). The aberrant fossil species Sphaerocarya uralensis Dorofeev is re-classified and segregated into a new distinct genus, Boreocarya Doweld, gen. nov.
Neogene wetland vegetation based on a leaf assemblage from the Bełchatów Lignite Mine (Central Poland)
Authors: Worobiec Grzegorz , Szynkiewicz Adam 
Published: December 2016

Abstract Well-preserved leaf macroremains collected in the Bełchatów Lignite Mine (Central Poland) were investigated. Fossil leaves of Acer, Dicotylophyllum, Fagus, Eucommia, Laria, Laurophyllum, Liquidambar, Pinus, Populus, Pterocarya, Quercus, Salix, Salvinia, Taxodium, Ulmus, Vitis, and Zelkova, and fossil fruit of Eucommia were found in fossil assemblage KRAM-P 218 formed in a fluvial sedimentary environment. The fossil assemblage is dominated by plant remains of riparian vegetation of bottomland hardwood forest type. Some taxa point to the presence of mesophytic upland communities. The floristic composition points to warm temperate climate with mild winters, comparable to Cfa type (warm temperate, fully humid with hot summer) in the Köppen-Geiger climate classification. Mean annual temperature of 13.5-16.5°C was reconstructed by the coexistence approach method. Middle to late Miocene age (late Sarmatian to early Pannonian) is suggested for the plant-bearing deposits.
Fossil flora of Middle Jurassic Grojec clays (southern Poland). Raciborski’s original material reinvestigated and supplemented. II. Pteridophyta. Osmundales
Authors: Jarzynka Agata 
Published: December 2016

Abstract In the second part of the series dealing with the flora of the Grojec clays (Poland, Middle Jurassic), macroremains of Osmundales are introduced. The re-examined and supplemented material originates from three collections: specimens collected and described in Polish by Raciborski in 1894; specimens preliminarily described by Stur (1888), housed at the Geological Survey of Austria; and Raciborski’s still-unpublished material stored at the Institute of Botany of the Jagiellonian University. So far, 15 taxa of Cladophlebis have been described from the Osmundales of Grojec clays, and two species of Todites (Todea) and Osmundopsis (Osmunda) sturii. Detailed observations indicate that a large part of the material (12 taxa described by Raciborski) should be assigned to three widespread Jurassic species: Cladophlebis denticulata, C. haiburnensis, and C. roessertii. Cladophlebis aurita and C. bartonecii, created by Raciborski, should be retained. The occurrence of sterile and fertile fronds of Todites williamsonii (originally described as Todea williamsonis, Cladophlebis whitbiensis, and Cladophlebis solida) is confirmed for Grojec. Two species described by Raciborski (1894) required a change of generic names - Osmundopsis (Osmunda) sturii and Todites (Todea) princeps. This paper provides the taxonomical descriptions and considers the palaeoecology of 5 Cladophlebis species (C. aurita, C. denticulata, C. haiburnensis, C. roessertii, C. bartonecii) and other osmundaceous ferns such as Osmundopsis sturii, Todites williamsonii, and T. princeps.

An Improved Fountain Theorem and Its Application
Authors: Gu Long-Jiang , Zhou Huan-Song 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The main aim of the paper is to prove a fountain theorem without assuming the τ-upper semi-continuity condition on the variational functional. Using this improved fountain theorem, we may deal with more general strongly indefinite elliptic problems with various sign-changing nonlinear terms. As an application, we obtain infinitely many solutions for a semilinear Schrödinger equation with strongly indefinite structure and sign-changing nonlinearity.
University Kindergarten: The Story of a Little Big School
Authors: Majerčíková Jana , Rebendová Anna 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The study is of empirical character. It presents a story of a kindergarten which is a private, a company and a university kindergarten. The establishing authority is a university that can preferentially accept children of its employees. The parents of the children financially contribute to running the kindergarten.
The research was based on the strategy of a one-case study. This integrated quantitative and qualitative research approach. Data from two types of questionnaires were used in the study presenting interviews with parents, teachers, students in teacher training and members of the school board, as well as data from observations of the educational process and from the analyses of the available school documentation. The aim was to describe the kindergarten and the contexts in which it operates, explain its operation and clarify the mechanics, circumstances and subjects it is most influenced by. Three basic factors influencing the school’s operation and fulfilling its function emerged from the collected data: the relations with the establishing authority, the community of university-educated parents and the status of a faculty school providing space for practical training of the students in teacher training. The major conclusion that emerged from the study is: The kindergarten works in specific conditions with strong contextual conditioning linked to the university environment and the authority’s conditions.
Teachers in the Context of Vocational Education
Authors: Gabrhelová Gabriela , Pasternáková Lenka 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
In the presented article, we deal with teachers’ personality and their tasks in vocational education. Based on the opinions of professionals, we characterized teachers and the factors influencing the creation process of their personality. Teachers can be characterised based on their job positions in schools, e.g. a class teacher, the school counsellor, the director, there are plenty of them in every school. Teachers’ personality is being formed throughout their teaching practice by the experience they gain. They get the basics during their teacher training when they are getting prepared for the teaching profession. We focused our attention on the issues of teachers’ professional identity. In this context, we were interested in the students of Dubnica Institute of Technology in Dubnica nad Váhom and in their perception of their studies. Our partial goal was to analyse students’ motivation to take part in teacher training which we deal with in our paper.

Abstract
In the contribution, we focus on the social, emotional and behavioural factors of students’ stress and their influence on the occurrence of social-pathological phenomena. We analyse the statements of teachers who mention the preferences of occurrence of single elements of students’ stress. In the interpretation of data, we search for statistical significances of selected variables - stress and its influence on the occurrence of social-pathological phenomena in the educational reality.
Validation and comparison of shank and lumbar-worn IMUs for step time estimation
Authors: Johnston William , Patterson Matthew , O’Mahony Niamh , Caulfield Brian 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Gait assessment is frequently used as an outcome measure to determine changes in an individual’s mobility and disease processes. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are quickly becoming commonplace in gait analysis. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the validity of shank and lumbar IMU mounting locations in the estimation of temporal gait features. Thirty-seven adults performed 20 walking trials each over a gold standard force platform while wearing shank and lumbar-mounted IMUs. Data from the IMUs were used to estimate step times using previously published algorithms and were compared with those derived from the force platform. There was an excellent level of correlation between the force platform and shank (r=0.95) and lumbar-mounted (r=0.99) IMUs. Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated high levels of agreement between the IMU and the force platform step times. Confidence interval widths were 0.0782 s for the shank and 0.0367 s for the lumbar. Both IMU mounting locations provided accurate step time estimations, with the lumbar demonstrating a marginally superior level of agreement with the force platform. This validation indicates that the IMU system is capable of providing step time estimates within 2% of the gold standard force platform measurement.
Coexistence of anti-β2-glycoprotein I domain I and anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies suggests strong thrombotic risk
Authors: Lee Jee-Soo , Gu JaYoon , Park Hee Sue , Yoo Hyun Ju , Kim Hyun Kyung 
Published: December 2016

AbstractBackground:Highly specific assays for measuring antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) are required for accurate assessment of thrombotic risk. aPLs against β2-glycoprotein I domain I (anti-β2GPIdI) and against prothrombin complexed with phosphatidylserine (anti-PS/PT) have been recently identified as being associated with a hypercoagulable state. This study evaluated the synergism between anti-β2GPIdI and anti-PS/PT for predicting thrombotic events.Methods:A total of 180 patients with clinical suspicion of hypercoagulability were evaluated. The plasma levels of lupus anticoagulant (LA) and antibodies against anticardiolipin (anti-CL) (IgG and IgM), β2GPI (IgG and IgM), PS/PT (IgG and IgM), and β2GPI dI (IgG) were measured.Results:IgG anti-β2GPIdI and LA were highly associated with thrombosis. Mean values and positivity rates of IgG anti-β2GPI dI and IgG anti-PS/PT were significantly higher in the triple-positive group (LA+, IgG anti-CL+, IgG anti-β2GPI+) than in the other groups. Interestingly, the thrombotic risk [odds ratio (OR) 24.400, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.976–63.273, p<0.001] of the newly defined triple positive group (LA+, IgG anti-CL+, IgG anti-β2GPIdI+; OR 11.182, 95% CI 1.976–63.273, p=0.006) was more than twice that of the triple-positive group (LA+, IgG anti-CL+, IgG anti-β2GPI+). Double positivity for IgG anti-PS/PT and IgG anti-β2GPI also indicated significant thrombotic risk (OR 7.467, 95% CI 2.350–23.729, p=0.001). Furthermore, the thrombotic risk associated with double positivity for IgG anti-PS/PT and IgG anti-β2GPIdI was markedly elevated (OR 33.654, 95% CI 6.322-179.141, p<0.001).Conclusions:Our data suggest that simultaneous measurement of IgG anti-β2GPIdI and IgG anti-PS/PT may improve clinical decision-making for aPL-positive patients.
QMPSF is sensitive and specific in the detection of NPHP1 heterozygous deletions
Authors: Jávorszky Eszter , Morinière Vincent , Kerti Andrea , Balogh Eszter , Pikó Henriett , Saunier Sophie , Karcagi Veronika , Antignac Corinne , Tory Kálmán 
Published: December 2016

Abstract

Background:
Nephronophthisis, an autosomal recessive nephropathy, is responsible for 10% of childhood chronic renal failure. The deletion of its major gene, NPHP1, with a minor allele frequency of 0.24% in the general population, is the most common mutation leading to a monogenic form of childhood chronic renal failure. It is challenging to detect it in the heterozygous state. We aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and the specificity of the quantitative multiplex PCR of short fluorescent fragments (QMPSF) in its detection.

Methods:
After setting up the protocol of QMPSF, we validated it on 39 individuals diagnosed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) with normal NPHP1 copy number (n=17), with heterozygous deletion (n=13, seven parents and six patients), or with homozygous deletion (n=9). To assess the rate of the deletions that arise from independent events, deleted alleles were haplotyped.

Results:
The results of QMPSF and MLPA correlated perfectly in the identification of 76 heterozygously deleted and 56 homozygously deleted exons. The inter-experimental variability of the dosage quotient obtained by QMPSF was low: control, 1.05 (median; range, 0.86−1.33, n = 102 exons); heterozygous deletion, 0.51 (0.42−0.67, n = 76 exons); homozygous deletion, 0 (0−0, n = 56 exons). All patients harboring a heterozygous deletion were found to carry a hemizygous mutation. At least 15 out of 18 deletions appeared on different haplotypes and one deletion appeared de novo.

Conclusions:
The cost- and time-effective QMPSF has a 100% sensitivity and specificity in the detection of NPHP1 deletion. The potential de novo appearance of NPHP1 deletions makes its segregation analysis highly recommended in clinical practice.
On the Efficiency of a Family of Steffensen-Like Methods with Frozen Divided Differences
Authors: Amat Sergio , Busquier Sonia , Grau-Sánchez Miquel , Hernández-Verón Miguel A. 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
A generalized k-step iterative method from Steffensen’s method with frozen divided
difference operator for solving a system of nonlinear equations is studied and the maximum computational efficiency is computed. Moreover, a sequence that approximates the order of convergence is generated for the examples and it confirms in a numerical way that the order of the method and the computational efficiency are both well deduced.
By using a technique based on recurrence relations, the semilocal convergence of the family is studied.
Finally, some numerical experiments related to the approximation of nonlinear elliptic equations are reported.
A comparison with other derivative-free families of iterative methods is carried out.

Inductive Synthesis of Cover-Grammars with the Help of Ant Colony Optimization
Authors: Wieczorek Wojciech 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
A cover-grammar of a finite language is a context-free grammar that accepts all words in the language and possibly other words that are longer than any word in the language. In this paper, we describe an efficient algorithm aided by Ant Colony System that, for a given finite language, synthesizes (constructs) a small cover-grammar of the language. We also check its ability to solve a grammatical inference task through the series of experiments.
Application of wood chips for soil mulching in the cultivation of ornamental grasses
Authors: Henschke Monika , Politycka Barbara 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
A mulch is a layer of material applied to the surface of the soil. Mulching plays an important role in the maintenance of green spaces. Organic materials are still sought for the preparation of mulches. Recently interest in wood chips has grown. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of mulching with pine and birch chips on the contents of phenolic compounds in the soil, as well as on the growth and flowering of ornamental grasses – Bouteloua gracilis (Kunth.) Lag. ex Griffiths, Panicum virgatum L. and Pennisetum alopecuroides L. The content of phenolic compounds in the soil steadily increased from spring to autumn. Mulching led to a substantial increase in the level of phenolic compounds. In the first year of cultivation more phenolic compounds were released by chips of pine than birch, while in the second year this difference did not occur. Mulching had a negative impact on the growth and flowering of ornamental grasses, especially in the first year of cultivation. Ornamental grass sensitivity to the substances released from mulches decreased with the age of the plants and was dependent on the species – Bouteloua gracilis was found to be particularly sensitive.
