Human body posture as a source of information about selected diseases
Authors: Długosz Mirosława M. , Kurzydło Wojciech 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The aim of the study is to present the differences between the human body posture (HBP) of healthy people and those suffering from specific disorders – both those clearly connected with HBP (scoliosis, coxarthrosis) and those seemingly unrelated (e.g. depression). The study was conducted based on the results of photogrammetric measurements of patients standing in a relaxed posture, scanned with a PBE system (Photogrammetrical Body Explorer). Research was conducted over a group of 190 people. Patients were divided into six subgroups based on diagnosed disease entity: coxarthrosis, discopathy, scoliosis, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome. A control group constituted of 36 healthy volunteers aged 19–29 years, with no identified defects of body posture. To evaluate the differences between the HBP of healthy and sick people, an HBP model based on 29 parameters describing the HBP in three anatomical planes was created. The research showed significant differences in the HBP of healthy and sick people. The results of the analysis indicate that an objective assessment of the HBP can be a source of relevant information on the general health of the patient and may be a useful tool in the diagnosis of selected diseases.
Freiheit als Praxisform
Authors: Volbers Jörg 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Dewey’s pragmatism and John McDowell’s philosophy of language share central concerns. They defend a naturalistic vision of the mind (“second nature”) and rely on the concept of experience in order to articulate the contact between mind and world. They differ, though, in their understanding of how the human mind can relate spontaneously to itself and to the world. McDowell links this freedom exclusively to language with the consequence of detaching it from any reflexive determination, turning it into an abstract given. Dewey, by contrast, develops a practice-oriented understanding of freedom and understanding as an essentially precarious cultural form. This allows him to incorporate the reflexive dimension of mental operatiwons, of which McDowell takes no account: It makes a practical difference how the human being conceives its own nature and its own mind.
Brief aus Shanghai
Authors: Guhe Eberhard 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
In the present letter from Shanghai the German indologist and logician Eberhard Guhe writes about his situation as an associate professor at Fudan University/ Shanghai. The School of Philosophy, where he teaches Sanskrit, modern logic and Indian philosophy, appears to be an ideal place for him to pursue his interdisciplinary interests in the realm of Indian and modern logic. He is particularly impressed by the students’ commitment to his Sanskrit classes, something which one hardly experiences in Germany anymore. Moreover, he enjoys the international atmosphere at the university, the moderate teaching obligations and the advantage of being largely exempted from administrative agenda.
Edieren, Lesen, Interpretieren, Re-Edieren
Authors: Reitani Luigi 
Published: December 2015

AbstractIn 1978 the editors of Ingeborg Bachmann’s collected works presented, under the title Der Fall Franza, previously unknown materials of an incomplete novel as part of the unfinished literary cycle Todesarten. The novel was immediately interpreted as belonging to gender and postcolonial literature; this raised questions about the criteria of the edition of 1978 and finally led to a new critical and genetic edition of the whole cycle, which appeared in 1995. This new edition dug out further drafts and outlines of the novel and offered a chronological reconstruction of Bachmann’s work, basing on the idea of a consequent poetological project. The article not only examines the two different editions, it also uses them as examples of the hermeneutic circle.
Pfade im editorischen Netz
Authors: Droese Janine , Münzmay Andreas 
Published: December 2015

AbstractIn creating a Hybrid Edition of Justine Favart’s and Adolphe Blaise’s Annette et Lubin, a ‹comédie en vaudevilles› that premiered in Paris at the Comédie-Italienne in early 1762, for the OPERA series, the authors explore new ways of editing opera by means of XML/Edirom technology. In the light of Patrick Sahle’s account of edition as hypertext (chapter „Edition als Hypertext“ in Digitale Editionsformen, 2013), the paper focusses on the ‹timbre› indications inherent to the literary text, proposes an understanding of the ‹timbres› that is quite close to what we know as hyperlinks in the age of hypertext, and discusses, from a firmly pragmatic standpoint, the editors’ handling of what one might regard as abundance of hyperlinks.Constructing a historical-critical edition implies, of course, all ‘traditional’ tasks of philological groundwork. But beyond this, today, defining the concept of and programming a vast number of digital links are part of an editor’s core activities: editorially controlled representations of connections inherent to the text, both on the philological, and the historical level.
„Schönes Spiel!“
Authors: Gyr Ueli 
Published: December 2015

ZusammenfassungGolfen fordert nicht nur den Spieler, sondern auch den Analytiker im Versuch, den Humor in Golferwitzen zu verstehen. Der Beitrag problematisiert zunächst den realen Spielverlauf und legt damit jene Elemente frei, auf die sich die Witze beziehen, auch mit Einblicken in internationale Aspekte. Inhaltlich überzeichnet werden hier z.B. die Hingabe an Spiel und Regelwerk, die Geschlechterdifferenz, Sexualität sowie Alter, Sterben und Tod. Unter Einbezug der heiteren Golfliteratur lassen die Witze den Golfer als eine tragische Figur erscheinen, die den Ernst des Golfspiels über den Humor abdämpft und erträglich macht. Golf erweist sich so auch als Korrektiv und Möglichkeit, das Leben und die Welt spielerisch zu begreifen.

Authors: Nimaje Devidas S. , Sai Shiva 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Roof fall is one of the major problems of the bord and pillar coal mines during the depillaring phase. Roof fall not only causes considerable damage to the mining equipment but also to the miners. To keep in view, development of software is essential for the calculation of roof fall risk to reduce the accidents to a certain extent. In this paper, the software has been developed and tested on seam-2, the main panel of RK-5 underground coal mine, Singareni Collieries Company Limited, India and corresponding roof fall risk was calculated. The best combination of the parameters causing roof fall risk was evaluated to reduce the risk.
The Importance Of Proper Evaluation Of The Geological Conditions For The Design Of Industrial Floor Subbase
Authors: Drusa Marián , Vlček Jozef , Bulko Roman , Kais Ladislav 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Nowadays many problems concerning industrial floors or floors in shopping centres occurred when local geological characterization is not adequately considered by structural designers, material selection is not evaluated properly and in time for future stability, or consolidation of soft organic subsoil laid in active zone is not taken into account during design evaluation. Similar problems occur when flooding effects on subbase layers cause a new settlement of the upper floor structure. Generally speaking, majority of these symptoms of floor damage have their origin in underestimation of the geotechnical risk. At some locations, the selection of support structure and material type is not adequate due to lack of experience and in order to offer the lowest price as a contractor.
GPR55 – a putative “type 3” cannabinoid receptor in inflammation
Authors: Yang Hyewon , Zhou Juan , Lehmann Christian 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) shares numerous cannabinoid ligands with CB1 and CB2 receptors despite low homology with those classical cannabinoid receptors. The pharmacology of GPR55 is not yet fully elucidated; however, GPR55 utilizes a different signaling system and downstream cascade associated with the receptor. Therefore, GPR55 has emerged as a putative “type 3” cannabinoid receptor, establishing a novel class of cannabinoid receptor. Furthermore, the recent evidence of GPR55-CB1 and GPR55-CB2 heteromerization along with its broad distribution from central nervous system to peripheries suggests the importance of GPR55 in various cellular processes and pathologies and as a potential therapeutic target in inflammation.
Die Logik des modernen Krieges und die Unternehmen: Überlegungen zum Ersten Weltkrieg
Authors: Plumpe Werner 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The First World War was a disaster for German industry but one it could not avoid. Once war had begun, the modern war of supplies developed a fatal dynamic. On the one hand, it destroyed or restricted civilian markets: on the other, it forced companies - as the price for their future existence - into becoming part of, or at least cooperating with the armaments industry in order to secure the reserves which seemed necessary for the return to a peacetime economy. The military and political policy thus cannibalized capitalist mass production without which the war of supplies could not have been waged. In the process they became dependent on the readiness of companies to cooperate and as a result the weight of private interests increased greatly during the war. Research has focused on this aspect for far too long: what appeared to be a kind of profit logic within the war economy was in fact the reflection of a situation in which companies had little choice but to participate in the war economy in order to secure their own future existence. Therefore the war was not driven by the greed for profits but it was the war with all its catastrophic social consequences that pushed the economy and society into ruin. If it had been the decision of business and industry, the war would not have taken place.
Die finanzielle Mobilmachung in Deutschland 1914-1918
Authors: Hardach Gerd 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The First World War was not only a military conflict but also an economic war. In all belligerent countries, labour and resources were shifted from civil production to military production. Factory workers, miners and farmers produced a steady flow of supplies for the frontlines. Financial mobilization provided the money for arms, ammunition, and other supplies. In contemporary understanding “financial mobilization” comprised all fiscal and monetary instruments that were necessary to finance the war. The aim of this paper is to discuss the interaction between the government and the central bank in Germany in financing the First World War. Aspects include the pre-war plans for financial mobilization, the fiscal and monetary policies of the war years and their inflationary consequences, the financing of foreign trade and financial demobilization during the transition from war to peace.
Energie für den Krieg. Schweizer Unternehmen als Zulieferer und Produzenten in der deutschen Stickstoffwirtschaft während des Ersten Weltkriegs
Authors: Fehr Sandro 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The supply of the dual-use resource nitrogen became an existential problem for Germany during World War I. This article discusses how the German war economy attempted to solve the supply problem and how successful it was in doing so. The supply of nitrogen from their neutral neighbour Switzerland is discussed in order to show that Swiss companies produced nitrogen compounds in Switzerland itself, while at the same time also exporting intermediate products and resources to Germany for the manufacture of nitrogen compounds. Swiss companies also built factories on German soil that were part of the German nitrogen industry and were in some cases even operated with Swiss resources and labour.
Opportunities and Constraints to Rural HAZMAT Risk Reduction
Authors: Thompson Courtney M. , Frazier Tim G. , Vachon Michele D. 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The successful implementation of a hazardous materials (HAZMAT) emergency response plan aimed at risk reduction varies by jurisdiction. Rural communities often face challenges in HAZMAT planning and training due to lower economic vitality that is often a result of fewer economic resources, a lack of knowledge of HAZMAT risk/response training, and data collection limitations. In order to identify opportunities and constraints in HAZMAT planning in rural communities, this paper presents a case study of HAZMAT transportation in North Central in Idaho. Researchers collected and analyzed HAZMAT transportation data to provide a basis for planning and implementation of mitigation measures that help reduce the risks of HAZMAT in rural areas. An interview with the Director of the board of Regional Emergency Managers was conducted to determine the utility of the study for local HAZMAT planning. This study also informs responders about the types of HAZMAT that are transported throughout the region. This information can be used to develop hazard-specific preparedness activities particular to the region, such as training, equipment selection and future grant opportunities. This study also contributes to the limited body of literature that examines challenges rural communities face in HAZMAT risk assessments and risk reduction response planning.
The Impact of Demographic Changes on the Organization of Emergency Medical Services: the Case of Slovenia
Authors: Jaklič Tatjana Kitić , Kovač Jure 
Published: December 2015

Abstract

Background and Purpose: The modern environment requires that organizations (profit and non-profit) continually harmonize their organizational models with changes in their respective environments and with their own visions and strategies for further development. The organizational structure of Emergency Medical Services (hereinafter EMS) is currently a very topical issue in Slovenia, given that a project to establish a new organization of EMS is currently underway at the national level. By examining the case of one region in Slovenia, this article presents an analysis of factors that impact on the number and types of EMS activities and depicts a forecast of future trends for the requirement of EMS. The analysis presents the initial phase of a strategic planning process for the mentioned activity and consequently, a starting point for the formation of an organizational EMS model.

Methodology: This article presents an analysis of factors that impact on the formulation of an EMS model on the basis of research carried out for one geographical region of Slovenia. For the previous period, data was collected from 2002 to 2014. The software tool used for the analysis was STATA 13.0. For the purpose of forecasting a five-year period trend we used statistical package RStudio and Hyndman’s Forecast package given that this package contains algorithms for forecasting univariate time series including exponential smoothing using automated spatial models and ARIMA modelling.

Results: The research has confirmed a correlation between social/environmental factors and the rate of increase in the demand for EMS. A population’s age structure has been identified as the key social factor that increases the need for EMS. On the basis of this finding, this article presents a model for forecasting growth trends in the scope of EMS activities.

Conclusion: The research study has identified some important elements that are imperative to take into consideration when formulating an EMS network at the prehospital level. Population ageing has emerged as a key social factor. In the accordance with forecasted trends, an increase in the burden placed on EMS activities may also be anticipated in the future.
Employability of Nursing Care Graduates

Published: December 2015

Abstract

Starting points: In Slovenia, the higher education institution for nursing started exploring employability opportunities in nursing care in connection with the achievement of competencies from students’ and employers’ point of view. This article highlights the importance of monitoring nursing graduates’ employability. Its aim is to examine the employability of nursing care graduates based on the self-evaluation of competences obtained during the last study year and to establish a link between the self-evaluation of competences and students’ academic performance.

Methodology: A questionnaire was distributed to full and part time nursing care students attending the last study year at five different healthcare/health sciences faculties in Slovenia and to employers (healthcare institutions) where the majority of nursing care graduates finds employment. We examined the level of competence achieved by nursing students and the level of competences required by employers. The sample included a total of 485 students. 194 surveys were returned, which represent a 40 percent response. We used Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for each individual joined competence. Further, we compared employability skills of students and employers with Mann-Whitney and Wilcox rank-sum test. For correlation between two variables we used Spearman correlation analysis.

Results: The Mann-Whitney and Wilkson Rank test show that employers generally assess competences with a higher average grade in comparison to students and these differences are statistically significant. By applying the Spearman correlation analysis, we established that a statistically significant weak correlation may be observed between the “average grade” and “competences” variables.

Discussion and conclusion: Our findings show that a continuous monitoring of general and subject-specific competences gained by students, along with a periodic verification of competences demanded by employers, is necessary. It is very important to monitor the requirements of the labour market in terms of ongoing communication with employers who can best estimate special knowledge needs.
Die Rolle der Humanwissenschaften in der modernen Gesellschaft
Authors: Tschubarjan Alexander 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The humanities are seen as an essential component of the spiritual education of the younger generation and as a factor of ethical and moral values formation in society in terms of world and national history. Russian society widely discusses the importance of the humanities for civil society evolution as well as for analysis of the processes of national and cultural identity formation among Russian citizens and citizens of the other countries. Despite the fact that public interest in humanitarian issues is increasing apparently, it is clear that the measures taken to support the humanities are not sufficient. Russian scholars in the humanities need more funding for research and educational programs.

Authors: Zabotkina Vera 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The paper argues for the importance of intercultural competence and ability to conduct dialogue as the most demanded skills in the 21st century society. It lies within the framework of an interdisciplinary model of generation and transfer of knowledge. Special emphasis is on the theory of dialogism by Michail Bakhtin and the polyparadigmatic approach to the analysis of culture and society introduced by Jurij S. Stepanov. The overlap of two conceptual (cultural) world-views is analyzed as the basis for successful contact of two cultures.

Abstract
The paper presents a comprehensive compilation of 764 taxa (species and subspecies), distributed over 167 genera, belonging to 17 subfamilies, three families and three superfamilies of Aphidomorpha recorded to date from Poland. The systematic positions of 19 taxa have been revised in accordance with recent changes in nomenclature. The presence in the Polish aphidofauna of Drepanosiphum oregonensis and Coloradoa huculaki, previously included without any distribution data in checklists of Polish aphids, has been confirmed. One species Sitobion (Sitobion) alopecuri is recognized as being new to Poland. At least 44 species (6% of local fauna of Aphidomorpha) are alien to Poland; among them 11 species collected from plants imported or cultivated in indoor conditions are listed.
I nomi dell’amore: Un’indagine sulla traduzione latina del Commento al Cantico dei Cantici di Origene
Authors: Limone Vito 
Published: December 2015

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to compare the Greek fragments of Origen’s Commentary on the Song of Songs and the Latin translation by Rufinus. In particular, in Commentarius in Canticum Canticorum, prol. 2,20 the Latin text lists four names of the love: amor and cupido with regard to the physical love, and dilectio and caritas with regard to the spiritual love. In Greek fragments there are only “agape” with regard to the spiritual love and “eros” with regard to the physical love. Then, this paper aims to compare the Greek language through which Origen expresses the love in the fragments with the Latin language in which Rufinus translates Origen’s original text, so Rufinus seems to have complicated the original Greek text of Origen. Moreover, the paper lists also other important words through which Origen expresses the love in the fragments, i.e. “philia” and “philanthropia.”
