Emotions as individual and social phenomena: Seeking new answers to old questions
Authors: Maruszewski Tomasz , Jasielska Aleksandra , Szczygieł Dorota 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The paper presents state of art in the area of emotion studies. It is stressed that emotions are multicomponent processes including neural, expression, subjective and social elements. We have tried to show that synchronization and coordination of these elements from elementary through intermediate to the most complex level may be understood in terms of emergent processes. Manifestations of emergence may be observed both in social aspects of emotions, as well as subjective and expression ones. Although the idea of emergent processes was not explicitly used by contributors of this volume, the traces of it are present in their papers.
How do negative emotions regulate the effects of workplace aggression on counterproductive work behaviours?
Authors: Baka Łukasz 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The theoretical framework of the study was the Stressors-Emotions model (Spector et al., 2005). The aim of the study was to investigate the mediating role of job-related negative affectivity, and the moderating role of emotional suppression in the relationship between workplace aggression and counterproductive work behaviour (CWB). It was expected that workplace aggression would be linked to CWB directly and indirectly (through increase of job-related negative affectivity) and that suppression of negative emotions would intensify the effects of workplace aggression. Two hundred and five nurses participated in the study. The regression analysis with interactional effect was applied to test the research hypotheses. The results confirmed the direct and the indirect effect of workplace aggression on CWB. Two of the three analyzed emotions (anger and anxiety but not unhappiness) moderated the effects of workplace aggression on jobrelated negative affectivity and CWB. Results of the study partially support the notion of the Stress-Emotion model and provide further insight into processes that lead to CWB.

Abstract
The development of self-regulation in early childhood is related to development of emotional regulation and attention, in particular executive attention (Feldman, 2009; Posner & Rothbart, 1998). As the ability to self-regulate is crucial in life (Casey et al., 2011), it is important to reveal early predictors of self-regulation. The aim of the paper is to present the results of longitudinal studies on the relationships between the functioning of attention, regulation of emotion and later self-regulatory abilities. 310 children were assessed at three time points. At 12 months of age emotional regulation in situation of frustration and attention regulation were assessed. At 18 and 24 months behavioral-emotional regulation in the Snack Delay Task was measured. Additionally parents assessed executive attention using The Early Childhood Behavior Questionnaire when children were 26 months old. Structural equation modelling revealed two different paths to development of self-regulatory abilities at 18 months: emotional (reactive system) and emotionalattentional and only one emotional-attentional path at 24 months. The early ability to focus attention and later executive attention functioning revealed to be important predictors of self-regulatory abilities both at 18 and 24 months of age.
Autonomous vs. heteronomous mode of action control and task performance: The role of the situational context and action vs. state orientation
Authors: Kadzikowska-Wrzosek Romana 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The article presents the results of two experimental studies in which I investigated the effect of the situational context (autonomy-supportive vs. external control) and action vs. state orientation on perseverance and efficacy in task performance. The results of Study 1 (n = 40) confirmed that in a context which supports autonomy - as opposed to one which induces external control - people are much more likely to be not only more persistent and effective in their actions but also much more interested in the performed task. Interest in the performed task seems to also be - to some extent- a mediator in the relationship between persistence and efficacy. The results of Study 2 (n = 69) confirmed that a context, which supports autonomy positively, affects both persistence and efficacy. At the same time, the study shows that in a context, which supports autonomy, action-oriented people are more persistent and efficient in their actions than are state-oriented people. What is more, in an autonomy-supporting context, action-oriented people have a more positive attitude towards a given task than do state-oriented people.

Published: November 2015

Abstract
A major focus of attention in psychology has been on the consequences and determinants of well-being. Religiosity and personality have both been shown to predict mental health and well-being, but the two predictors have not often been investigated together. In 4 studies involving 7 surveys (total N = 1,530) in various social and religious contexts, the relations among well-being, religious orientation, and personality factors were studied. Results showed that Extraversion was the single strongest correlate of higher levels of subjective and psychological well-being. Religiosity had null or weak positive relationships with well-being, and managed to explain variance in some aspects of positive functioning beyond personality factors. The null or week relationship of religiosity with well-being beyond personality was consistent across the HEXACO and the Big Five models of personality structure. It has been suggested that religion is relatively more important for eudaimonic than for hedonic way of living.
Angiotensin II-triggered kinase signaling cascade in the central nervous system
Authors: Bali Anjana , Jaggi Amteshwar Singh 
Published: November 2015

AbstractRecent studies have projected the renin-angiotensin system as a central component of the physiological and pathological processes of assorted neurological disorders. Its primary effector hormone, angiotensin II (Ang II), not only mediates the physiological effects of vasoconstriction and blood pressure regulation in cardiovascular disease but is also implicated in a much wider range of neuronal activities and diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, neuronal injury, and cognitive disorders. Ang II produces different actions by acting on its two subtypes of receptors (AT1 and AT2); however, the well-known physiological actions of Ang II are mainly mediated through AT1 receptors. Moreover, recent studies also suggest the important functional role of AT2 receptor in the brain. Ang II acts on AT1 receptors and conducts its functions via MAP kinases (ERK1/2, JNK, and p38MAPK), glycogen synthase kinase, Rho/ROCK kinase, receptor tyrosine kinases (PDGF and EGFR), and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases (Src, Pyk2, and JAK/STAT). AT1R-mediated NADPH oxidase activation also leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species, widely implicated in neuroinflammation. These signaling cascades lead to glutamate excitotoxicity, apoptosis, cerebral infarction, astrocyte proliferation, nociception, neuroinflammation, and progression of other neurological disorders. The present review focuses on the Ang II-triggered signal transduction pathways in central nervous system.
Analysis of influence of fibre type and orientation on dynamic properties of polymer laminates for evaluation of their damping and self-heating
Authors: Katunin Andrzej 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
In the following study, the dynamic behaviour of polymer laminates reinforced by glass and carbon fibres with different orientations was considered for several excitation frequencies and elevated temperatures. The obtained dynamic moduli, loss factors and glass-transition temperatures were used for the evaluation of damping capabilities and the self-heating phenomenon. In order to evaluate the influence of a fibre type, additional studies for a pure matrix were carried out and used in the analysis as the reference. The obtained results show significant differences both in thermal and dynamic mechanical properties with respect to a fibre type and its orientation, which has a direct influence on the analysed self-heating and damping phenomena. The results of the present study could be used for the design of composite properties with respect to thermal degradation resulting from coupled thermomechanical loading conditions. Several hypotheses on the influence of a heating rate on estimation of the thermomechanical properties as well as structural degradation of composites in such conditions were presented with appropriate discussion and argumentation. The present study has a preliminary character. Furthermore, it is planned to perform such tests for specimens with a low cross-linking degree in order to analyse its influence on the resulting thermomechanical response of fibre-reinforced composite structures.
The failure mechanism of carbon fiber-reinforced composites under longitudinal compression considering the interface
Authors: Han Geng , Guan Zhidong , Li Xing , Ji Ruipeng , Du Shanyi 
Published: November 2015

AbstractIn this paper, a longitudinal compression experiment of composites was conducted and the macroscopic failure mode was obtained. Also, the microscopic failure morphologies of longitudinal compression and kink band were observed by using scanning electron microscopy. It can be seen that, under compression, fibers bend and form a kink band, which is the most typical failure mode. Then a micromechanical model of fiber random distribution based on the random collision algorithm, which can reveal the progressive failure mechanism of longitudinal compression considering the kink-band deformation, was established, with two dominant damage mechanisms – plastic deformation and ductile damage initiation of the polymer matrix and interfacial debonding included in the simulation by the extended Drucker-Prager model and cohesive zone model, respectively. Through numerical simulation, the loading and failure procedures were divided into three stages: elastic domain, softening domain and fiber failure domain. It can be concluded that the kink band was a result of fiber instability (micro-bulking), which is caused by the elastic bending of fibers. The fibers rotate and break into two places, forming a kink band. Then the fibers rotate further until the matrix between the fibers fails and the kink-band breaks and, hence, the composite loses its load-bearing capability.

Authors: Kużawa Mieszko , Bień Jan 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Comprehensive methodology of numerical nonlinear analysis of the consecutive phases in the structural behaviour of bridge plate girders with deformations is presented. The analysis concerns all stages of structure loading until failure and especially determination of the ultimate shear load capacity. Verification and validation of the numerical procedures proposed is based on comparison of the calculated results with effects of experimental laboratory shear capacity tests of plate girders carried out at the University of Ljubljana.
On Unsaturated Soil Mechanics – Personal Views on Current Research
Authors: Pande G.N. , Pietruszczak S. 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
This paper presents the authors’ personal views on current research being conducted by various research groups around the world in the broad area of mechanics of unsaturated geomaterials in general and soils in particular. The topic is of interest to a wide spectrum of scientists and engineers working in diverse areas such as geology and geophysics, powder technology, agricultural, petroleum, chemical, geotechnical, civil, environmental and nuclear engineering. Even if we restrict ourselves to civil, geotechnical and environmental engineering, it is noted that a plethora of hypotheses as well as a number of empirical and semi-empirical relations have been introduced for describing the mechanics of unsaturated porous media. However, many of these proposed advances as well as methods of testing may lack sound theoretical basis.
Technical Note: Example of the Application of Jet Grouting to the Neutralisation of Geotechnical Hazard in Shaft Structures
Authors: Dybeł Piotr , Wałach Daniel , Jaskowska-Lemańska Justyna 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The article presents a geotechnical hazard neutralisation technology for shaft structures. The diagnosis of problems with uncontrolled subsidence of the ventilation duct provided by the authors enabled the development of a schedule of works required for the protection and reinforcement of foundation soil in the shaft area. The technology of protection works was selected after the analysis of the technical condition of shaft structures as well as hydrological and geomechanical conditions. Due to the closeness of the shaft lining, it was necessary to form grout columns using jet grouting and low-pressure grouting technologies. The article presents the issues related to the selected technology and its application to the neutralisation of the emergent geotechnical hazard. The method of performance of recommended works was also described together with their impact on the technical condition of structures discussed as well as their functionality and usage.

Abstract
With a quadrupling of forensic psychiatric patients in Denmark over the past 20 years, focus on violence risk assessment practices across the country has increased. However, information is lacking regarding Danish risk assessment practice across professional disciplines and clinical settings; little is known about how violence risk assessments are conducted, which instruments are used for what purposes, and how mental health professionals rate their utility and costs. As part of a global survey exploring the application of violence risk assessment across 44 countries, the current study investigated Danish practice across several professional disciplines and settings in which forensic and high-risk mental health patients are assessed and treated. In total, 125 mental health professionals across the country completed the survey. The five instruments that respondents reported most commonly using for risk assessment, risk management planning and risk monitoring were Broset, HCR-20, the START, the PCL-R, and the PCL:SV. Whereas the HCR-20 was rated highest in usefulness for risk assessment, the START was rated most useful for risk management and risk monitoring. No significant differences in utility were observed across professional groups. Unstructured clinical judgments were reported to be faster but more expensive to conduct than using a risk assessment instrument. Implications for clinical practice are discussed.
Assessing Robustness of Findings About Racial Redistricting’s Effect on Southern House Delegations
Authors: Sanchez-Martinez Carlos A. , Shotts Kenneth W. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractWe assess whether racial redistricting increases the number of Southern representatives to the left of the US House median. Our results, which are based on Monte Carlo simulations and an alternative measure of representatives’ preferences, are generally null findings. The data do not support the claim that racial redistricting promotes liberal policy outcomes; nor do they support the claim that it promotes conservative policy outcomes. At a methodological level, we suggest techniques that researchers can use to assess how robust their findings are to noise in variables based on estimated values like DW-Nominate scores.
Synthesis and structural characterization of the new rare-earth borosilicates Pr3BSi2O10 and Tb3BSi2O10
Authors: Bräuchle Sebastian , Huppertz Hubert 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The rare-earth borosilicates RE
3BSi2O10 (RE = Pr, Tb) were synthesized under high-temperature conditions of 1600 °C in a radio frequency furnace from praseodymium oxide, terbium oxide, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, boron trioxide, and boric acid. The structure determinations based on powder diffraction data revealed that both phases RE
3BSi2O10 (RE = Pr, Tb) are isotypic to Gd3BSi2O10 [L. Chi, H. Chen, X. Lin, H. Zhuang, J. Huang, Jiegou Huaxue
1998, 17, 297]. The compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (no. 61) with eight formula units and the lattice parameters a = 982.9(2), b = 714.2(2), c = 2314.4(4) pm, V = 1.6247(4) nm3, R
p = 0.0231, and R
wp = 0.0354 (all data) for Pr3BSi2O10 and a = 960.5(5), b = 692.1(3), c = 2272.4(1) pm, V = 1.5106(2) nm3 for Tb3BSi2O10. The lattice parameters of Tb3BSi2O10 could be determined, but a final refinement of the powder data has not proved satisfactory. The structure of Pr3BSi2O10 exhibits eight- (Pr1) and ninefold coordinated rare-earth cations (Pr2 and 3). Layers of ortho-silicate anions [SiO4]4– and borosilicate anions [BSiO6]5– are arranged alternatingly along the c axis and the RE cations are located in between.

Published: November 2015

Por meio da abertura proporcionada pela História Cultural, para a qual novos objetos e fontes são contemplados, o presente trabalho se estrutura através das narrativas de trajetória escolar primária de dezessete personagens com faixa etária entre 68 e 96 anos de idade, residentes no território sul sergipano. O objetivo foi compreender a história da instituição primária sul sergipana, no período de 1930 a 1961, pelas memórias de quem estudou e/ou foi professor. Para tanto, recorreu-se à metodologia da História Oral, segundo Alberti (2010), e elegeuse como categorias de análise ‘cultura escolar’, de Dominique Julia (2001), e ‘práticas escolares’, de Faria Filho e Vidal (2004). Dessa forma, concluiu-se que a história da escola primária do sul sergipano, com suas similitudes e divergências, pode e deve também ser interpretada pela lembranças, vozes e representações do sujeito simples, neste caso, professores aposentados.
ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION SPECIFICS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC TONSILLITIS
Authors: Dzhukaeva Kh. R. , Schwartz Yu. G. 
Published: November 2015

Aim. To investigate the clinical specifics of acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in patients with chronic tonsillitis.Material and methods. The study included 70 patients at early AMI stages (Days 1–2). The following parameters were analysed: anthropometry, blood biochemistry, myocardial necrosis markers, QT interval dispersion, echocardiography and Holter ECG monitoring parameters, and a confirmed medical diagnosis of chronic tonsillitis in medical history.Results. In 31 patients with confirmed chronic tonsillitis, higher body mass index values, a significantly higher incidence of acute heart failure (19,4%; p<0,05) and anterior AMI (70%), higher glucose levels at admission (7,58±0,62 mmol/l), and a higher end-diastolic size of right ventriculum (3,04±0,19 cm vs. 2,66±0,05 cm) were observed. Mean daytime and peak nighttime heart rate values were higher than in other patients.Conclusion. Patients with confirmed chronic tonsillitis were characterised by a more severe clinical course of AMI. There is some evidence that chronic tonsillitis is also associated with metabolic syndrome.

Aim. Current study aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of Russian versions of Patient Health Questionnaires 2 and 9 (PHQ-2 and PHQ-9) used for detection of depression in general medical practice worldwide.Material and methods. Questionnaires were translated into Russian and adapted with regard to linguistic features of population. A study was performed on a sample of 193 patients (130 female, 63 male, mean age 34,6±11,4), who attended general practitioners in outpatient practice department of NRC for Preventive Medicine. Patients filled in PHQ-2 and –9 questionnaires in presence of clinical psychologist and then assessed for depression by a psychiatrist (using ICD-10 criteria).Results. The optimal measures of sensitivity and specificity corresponded to cut-off scores of 3 for PHQ-2 (66,2% and 87,4% respectively) and 10 for PHQ-9 (68,9% and 93,3% respectively). Russian questionnaires were found to success in sensitivity, specificity and their positive predictive values are comparable to similar research data reported in literature. Article discusses the principles of implementation of the studied scales for depression screening in general medical practice.

Aim.To study gender specifics of structural and functional parameters of brachiocephal arteries with the relation to psychoemotional factors in almost healthy individuals.Material and Methods.Overall 107 almost healthy economically active individuals included from organized population (46 male, 61 female), with the average age 43,4±10,8 y. All participants underwent psychological testing that included questionnaires: Spolberger-Khanin test, depression evaluation scale by the Center for Epidemiological Studies, visualanalogue scale (modified Dembo-Rubinstein), the social frustration level, social adaptation test by Holmes-Rey, ultrasound scanning of brachiocephal arteries with evaluation of local rigidity parameters.Results.There were significant gender differences found for the vessel wall structural and functional parameters. Average values of systolic and diastolic diameters, total common carotid artery wall thickness were higher in males, but the rigidity index - in women. Prevalence of personal anxiety and clinically significant stress estimates by the Holmes-Rey scale was significantly higher in women, 75% and 36%, resp. In both groups the association of psycho-emotional factors and vessel parameters was found. But for men there was independent relation of reactive and personal anxiety with the thickness of “intima-media” and in women – correlation of depression and vessel wall compliance.Conclusion.The results direct to the need for further research of novel methods for complex primary prophylaxy of stress-induced remodeling of vessels with the connection to psychoemotional and gender specifics.
