Features of the application of the case method in the course «Pedagogy and psychology of higher education» for PhD students
Authors: Ивлева Марина , Ivleva Marina , Саенко Наталья , Saenko Natalya 
Published: June 2016

The article is devoted to widely used in modern Russian higher school case method. The methodology is considered
in the context of teaching «Pedagogy and psychology of higher education» for PhD students. In the spectrum of
training the highest level specialist tasks is to prepare PhD students for teaching in vocational education. Traditionfor
Russian education is the situation when personal is replenished by the graduates of the graduate school,
«grown» by the University. Academic postgraduate course «Psychology and pedagogics of higher school», prepared
by the Department of philosophy and psychology, Moscow state university of mechanical engineering (MAMI), is
also intended to help future teachers in mastering the content of modern concepts of education and personality
formation. But the most attention is paid to the practice of designing educational situations in higher education.
The authors ‘ position is that the failure of the use of case studies is primarily concerned with the complexities of
collecting and the formation directly of problem pedagogical situations. The propose variants: a) practical training
using the case method, b) the collection and formulation of problem pedagogical situations, in) classes with the
use of the case method, d) stages of the case. The authors share their experience and introduce the reader to the
acquired fund of their pedagogical situations. In situations fund there are the following types of situations: conceptual,
institutional, psychological, ethno-cultural and others. Specific situational feature of many tasks is the
multiplicity of solutions. From this point of view, offered by the PhD students solutions can be divided according to
the degree of risk, reasonableness of solutions, the cost of resources, but a variety of solutions will be correct and
relevant to the task.
Delegated Bidding and the Allocative Effect of Accounting Rules
Authors: Marinovic Iván 
Published: June 2016

This paper studies the efficiency and distributive effects of three prominent accounting methods in auction settings when bidders’ incentives are linked to accounting income. The purchase price method (PP) requires the acquirer to book the acquisition at historical cost, thereby underestimating the asset value by the amount of the acquirer’s surplus in the transaction. The exit value method (EV) is downward biased and forces the acquirer to book an accounting loss on the date of acquisition. EV connects otherwise independent valuations inducing a reporting-based winner’s curse and can even lead to fire-sale-like values. Relative to PP, EV implies lower asset prices, a decrease (increase) in the surplus of the seller (acquirer), and an increase in the probability that the asset attains its best use when the market is sufficiently competitive. Finally, I examine an alternative method in which the asset is valued at its perceived value-in-use (VU). Under this method, the acquirer bids more aggressively to increase perceived value-in-use, leading to a shift of surplus from the acquirer to the seller. Yet VU is unbiased and always maximizes the probability that the asset attains its best use. This paper was accepted by Gérard Cachon, accounting.
The preliminary study on feeding behavior of male and female little egret (Egretta garzetta) in mangrove and rice field habitats based on peck frequency
Authors: Abdullah Abdullah , Zahara Intan , Wilson Gaius 
Published: June 2016

The objective of the present study was to study the differences in feeding behavior from peck frequency and type of diets, between male and female little egret (Egretta garzetta) in two different habitats, mangrove and rice fields of Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia. Focal animal sampling was used to study the feeding behavior of randomly selected birds from 07.00 AM to 06.00 PM in July 2015. Statistical analysis was conducted using t-test to test for differences between male and female peck frequency and habitats. For the combined data of both males and females, the average peck frequency of little egret (E. garzetta) observed in the mangrove and rice fields was 238.8 and 226.2 respectively. Male E. garzetta peck frequency observed was 240 pecks in mangrove habitat while female peck frequency was 225 pecks in rice field habitat. The results of our study showed that there is a significant difference in the peck frequency of little egrets observed in the two habitats (mangrove and rice fields) and between male and female E. garzetta.
More than unfinished business: Transgenerational trauma and Indigenous storytelling in Tina Makereti’s Where the Rēkohu Bone Sings
Authors: Moura-Koçoğlu Michaela 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
This article sets out to examine the ways in which Indigenous trauma texts employ storytelling as discursive practice and convention to narrate the complex forces of collective and transgenerational traumata. This will be established through an analysis of Tina Makereti’s debut novel Where the Rēkohu Bone Sings (2014). Examining trauma narratives within the limited analytic framework of traditional trauma theory remains unsatisfactory with regard to Indigenous texts that deal with the multiple-layered forms of collective and transgenerational trauma. Thus, while informed by literary trauma theory as well as postcolonial studies, my theoretical approach is first and foremost based on Indigenous theories and knowledges, which are crucial to better comprehend the representation and articulation of trauma in Indigenous narratives. Focus will be on examining the Indigenous tradition of storytelling as a narrative mode and convention for Indigenous trauma fiction.
Irene Visser persuasively argues that ‘[t]he nuanced exploration and conceptualization of the function of indigenous belief systems in the engagement with trauma would constitute a further necessary development in the project of achieving a fully decolonized trauma theory’ (Visser 2015: 263). By engaging with Indigenous epistemologies with regard to storytelling in the analysis of Indigenous trauma narratives, this article aims to contribute to the discussion.
Who are the biggest cannibals?: Colonial literary reckonings with the dark European Other in the Pacific region
Authors: Ackland Michael 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
In the late nineteenth century European powers jockeyed for global prestige and lucrative colonies. Long-unclaimed tracts of Africa become imperial dependencies, Asian empires ceded ever more privileges and ports to foreigners who clamoured for free trade and special legal status, and German rule spread as far as the antipodes. But while the Kaiser harangued listeners about the threat posed by the ‘gelbe Gefahr’ (yellow peril), colonists in the far Pacific soon came to see the Germans themselves, and a motley cast of would-be European exploiters, as a far greater and more immediate danger to white settler dreams. Testimony to concerns raised by the European Other exists in the pages of neglected colonial newspapers, as well as in popular contemporary tales, like those published by the Sydney Bulletin. Two of these, ‘Castro’s Last Sacrament’ and ‘Dr Ludwig Schwalbe, South Sea Savant’, are the focus of this study and they afford, in miniature, veritable voyages to a heart of darkness on the colonists’ doorstep, and one decidedly generated by fertile European imaginations. A century before Edward Said, Albert Dorrington reveals through the antics of Castro and his peers the local operation of Orientalism, and the ways it masks and camouflages a peculiarly European heritage of imperial carnage and unbridled vengefulness. In the figure of Schwalbe, author Louis Becke provides a complementary dissection of the ‘white man’s burden’ and the much-vaunted trappings of scientific knowledge. The allegedly philanthropic white man is shown to be deeply self-interested and insatiable. He not only abets the horrors he claims to abhor, but he arguably surpasses them. Together these tales afford a damning revelation of unpalatable European motives as well as a bleak vision of humankind, irrespective of race or clime, as scarcely removed from a cannibalistic, and thoroughly barbaric state.
Poppea in space: The influence of theatre architecture on recent productions of Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea
Authors: Camp Gregory 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The architecture of opera houses and the disposition of their internal space plays an important role in audience response, a role hitherto neglected in opera studies in favour of abstracted sonic aspects. This article is an examination of the spaces in which three very different professional European productions of Claudio Monteverdi’s 1643 opera L’incoronazione di Poppea took place, seen within a few months of each other in 2010: Pier Luigi Pizzi’s production at the Teatro Real in Madrid; Robert Carsen’s at Glyndebourne; and Dietrich Hilsdorf’s at the Cologne Opera. I first explore the relation of the audience to the stage due to the presence or absence of a proscenium arch. Both Glyndebourne and Madrid’s Teatro Real are proscenium theatres, though the Madrid production attempted to erase the proscenium through the layout of the stage and the orchestra. The Cologne production was held not in a purpose-built theatre but in the central hall of a former corporate headquarters, a proscenium-less space with the audience seated on two sides of a traverse stage. These layouts had different effects on the performances and on the audience’s response to them, affording different opportunities to their directors and different processes of audience engagement. I then compare the present-day audience’s spatial experience of this opera with the way its seventeenth-century audiences may have experienced it, arguing that the changes in theatre architecture over the centuries have a significant (and overlooked) impact on our results in creating historically informed operatic performances. This examination of the affordances offered by space open up the genre of opera to a wider potential range of musicological and sociological research.
Cathedral without a city: Using sound to create imagined spaces in Kurt Fitzpatrick’s Cathedral City
Authors: Cousins Rick 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
A one-person show which tours the fringe festival circuit presents a special set of challenges for delineating and concretizing the places described in its narrative. The dimensions, layout and other characteristics of the spaces where such a show is performed can vary markedly. As is common practice with one-person fringe shows, Kurt Fitzpatrick’s Cathedral City has only one visible staging element – a chair borrowed at the performance site. However, Cathedral City’s action often travels to places which are too numinous to be brought to life through onstage dialogue and gestures alone. Not only that, but these places straddle the border between real life and fiction, where the orderly logic of the waking world intermingles with the chaotic sensory mosaic of dreams. In place of scenic design, sound was used to conjure up the ever-changing worlds of Cathedral City. The show’s sound designer describes the ways that he employed soundscapes, music, and individual sonic effects to give the audience as clear an idea as possible of where Kurt’s stream of consciousness had taken them to, while still keeping them guessing about where it would take them next.
Logística reversa e identificação de produtos: revisão teórica para indústria eletroeletrônica
Authors: De Oliveira Uanderson Rebula , Silva Marins Fernando Augusto , Júnior Jorge Muniz 
Published: June 2016

A venda de produtos eletroeletrônicos cresce em função das inovações tecnológicas e da rapidez com que eles se tornam obsoletos, refletindo no aumento de um resíduo descartado denominado Resíduos de Equipamentos Eletroeletrônicos (REEE) ou Lixo Eletrônico. Oriundo do descarte de eletroeletrônicos, tais como desktops, notebooks, impressoras e celulares, o REEE é um problema relevante, pois contém substâncias danosas ao meio ambiente e à saúde humana. Dessa forma, torna-se necessário uma disposição final adequada. Com a criação da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS) no Brasil, os fabricantes, importadores, distribuidores e comerciantes de produtos eletroeletrônicos devem estruturar e implementar sistemas de Logística Reversa (LR) mediante retorno dos produtos após o uso pelo consumidor. Apesar de muitas empresas do setor de eletroeletrônicos se preocuparem com a LR de seus produtos, a revisão da literatura indica poucos resultados, evidenciando carência de trabalhos sobre o tema. O artigo analisa o panorama da LR e sua inter-relação com o lixo eletrônico e a tecnologia de identificação de produtos, com propósito de contribuir com a prática da PNRS. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura envolvendo a Logística Reversa, o Lixo Eletrônico e as Tecnologias de Identificação de Produtos. Por meio de um estudo de caso, Projeto SmartWaste da Hewlett-Packard (HP), pode-se inferir que o Código de Barras e a Identificação por Rádio Frequência (RFID) são tecnologias úteis e viáveis nas práticas de LR para o lixo eletrônico.

The aim of this research was to adapt the scale “Serious Leisure Inventory and Measure” developed by Gould et al. (2008) and perform its validity and reliability analyses. The research was carried out on 3 different study groups consisting a total of 474 students from various faculties of Gazi University, Turkey during the fall term of 2015-2016. Throughout the adaptation process, primarily the linguistic equivalence of the scale was investigated, and when it was seen that the scale was linguistically equivalent, the validity and reliability analyses were performed. The construct validity of the adapted scale was analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis, and it was seen that the scale was consistent with the original. As a result of reliability analysis, internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found as .97, and test-retest reliability coefficient as .93. As a result of item analysis, it was determined that the corrected item-total correlation of the sub-dimensions ranged from .42 to .73. These results show that the scale is valid and reliable to measure forms of Serious Leisure. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, Gould ve diğerleri (2008) tarafından geliştirilen Ciddi Boş Zaman Envanteri ve Ölçümü’nü (Serious Leisure Inventory and Measure / SLIM) Türkçeye uyarlamak ve ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizlerini gerçekleştirmektir. Araştırma 2015-2016 öğretim yılı güz döneminde Gazi Üniversitesi’nin çeşitli bölümlerinde öğrenim gören ve toplam 474 öğrenciden oluşan 3 ayrı çalışma grubu üzerinde yürütülmüştür.

Bu sonuçlar ölçeğin, Ciddi Boş Zaman perspektifinin ölçülmesinde geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir
“C’est la vie, c’est la narration”: The Reader in Christine Brooke-Rose’s Textermination and David Lodge’s Small World
Authors: Selejan Corina 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
This article considers two metafictional academic novels from the reader’s point of view. It argues that this critical vantage point is suggested (if not imposed) by the fictional texts themselves. The theoretical texts informing this reading pertain either to reader response or to theories of metafiction, in an attempt to uncover conceptual commonalities between the two. Apart from a thematic focus on academic conferences as pilgrimages and the advocacy of reading as an ethically valuable activity, the two novels also share a propensity for intertextuality, a blurring of the boundaries between fictional and critical discourse, as well as a questioning of the borderline between fiction and reality. The reading of fiction is paralleled to the reading of (one’s own) life and self-reflexivity emerges as crucial to both types of literacy.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
Down Syndrome/Trisomy 21 is the most common chromosomal anomaly, and it represents the most common congenital cause of infants’ intellectual disability. Subjects with this syndrome are affected by degenerative processes caused by accelerated aging or unknown ethyologies. In recent years, accumulating evidence revealed increased potential of amniotic fluid-derived stem cells to be used in regenerative therapy. Our aim was to assess differences in immunophenotype, cell morphology and proliferation of amniotic fluid cells from normal and Down Syndrome pregnancies using a quantitative cytometry approach. Results revealed the emergence of a population of small sized cells in Down Syndrome derived amniotic fluid cells that are readily visible upon microscopic inspection. Hence, the fluorescence–based quantitative image cytometry determinations showed a tendency of decrease in both cell and nuclei size in trisomy, with no significant modification in nuclei circularity, as measured following actin cytoskeleton and nuclei labeling. The propensity of Ki67 positive cells was found to be increased in Down Syndrome derived cells (48.92%) as compared to normal specimens (28.68%). However, cells in S and G2/M cell cycle phases decreased from 32.91% to 4.49% in diseased cells. Further studies are devoted to understanding the molecular basis of the observed differences in the proliferation ability of Down Syndrome amniotic cells, in order to evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of amniotic fluid stem cells for tissue regeneration in subjects with trisomy and to find correlations between amniotic cells phenotype and patient prognosis.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
The rupture of the inter-ventricular septum is a rare, but extremely severe mechanical complication of the acute myocardial infarction, which in most cases of no immediate surgery is fatal (30 days death rate – 80%). The incidence of the septum ventricular defect post-acute myocardial infarction was 1-3% in the period before crash injury therapy, dropping to 0.2% after introducing the thrombolytic treatment.
The acute mitral failure and the septum ventricular defect are two mechanical complications of the acute myocardial infarction associated with high death rate, regardless of the progress made in medical and surgery therapeutic approach.
This paper highlights the peculiarities of a clinical case like the acute myocardial infarction as the first manifestation of heart disease in a patient with no history of cardiovascular disease but with risk factors (obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension), the ECG evident changes in the anterior territory and more discrete in the inferior territory, which established the initial diagnosis to be myocardial infarction and the presence of two mechanical threatening complications: ventricular septal flaw and acute mitral failure through posterior papillary muscle incomplete rupture.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is a non-inflammatory disease, that affects mostly males and the principal manifestations are calcification and ossification of spinal ligaments, calcification of the tendons and ligaments in the vertebral body insertion. Clinical manifestations of the disease are mainly in the thoracic spine, but it may involve also the cervical and the lumbar spine. Extraspinal involvements are frequently present at patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. Spinal stenosis is associated with this disease.
The present case is of a 56 years old man, initially diagnosed with Ankyloses spondylitis, who was under a treatment with Sulfasalazin for approximately 7 years, afterwards the diagnosis was infirmed and he was diagnosed with “Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis”.
The patient has multiple extra spinal manifestations of the disease (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees), cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis with clinical manifestations and imagistic confirmation, and also treated in neurosurgical service for several times, for the lumbar spine pathology. Particularities of this case are related with the delay of a correct diagnosis which means that the anterior treatments, both medical and surgical are under the questions.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
Introduction. Psoriatic arthritis (PA) is a multi-system inflammatory disorder that involves both musculoskeletal structures (joints, enthesis, tendons) and the skin and nails (psoriasis). Clinical manifestations can be varied from clinically asymptomatic disease to arthritis mutilans and invalidating forms.
Purpose. Identification of renal disease in patients with psoriatic arthritis depending on the degree of activity and severity of skin and joint disease.
Material and Methods. We conducted a retrospective study of 89 patients diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in the Rheumatology Department of Clinical Emergency Hospital “Sf. Andrei” in Constanta. We collected demographic and behavioural data (age, sex, ethnicity, smoking), clinical and biological elements of joint and skin disease activity (number of painful and swollen joints, joint pain score - VAS, PASI score, ESR, CRP) and evaluation of renal function (serum creatinine, serum uric acid, urinalysis examination for proteinuria and hematuria). Chronic kidney disease was staged by calculating the value of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with CKD-EPI 2009 equation.
Results. 49 patients have full screening of renal function, especially in disease onset or in case of therapy switch. Proteinuria was found in a significant percentage of patients (32.65%), vary widely between 10-500 mg/dL. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was commonly found in our patients (42.85%), mostly in women (66.6%). Most cases of CKD were in stage 2 (12.4%). We observed a significant correlation between age and levels of serum creatinine (p = 0.041), caucasians developing more frequently CKD (p <0.0001). The presence of skin psoriasis did not interfere with renal function decline in PA patients, but its severity, measured with PASI score, was correlated with cronic kidney failure stages (p = 0.05) and proteinuria (p = 0.044). The severity of joint pain (TJC, VAS) is directly related to kidney disease (p <0.0001, respectively p = 0.05). The majority of patients with extensive joint erosions also had renal impairment (p = NS) and it can be seen a direct correlation between erosive joint disease and serum creatinine (p = 0.029).
Conclusions: Both the severity of psoriasis and articular disease may be involved in worsening of renal function, probably due to the chronic systemic inflammation and to an aggressive therapy imposed by the disease evolution.
