On Reconciling Divergent Ideas: A Life-long Quest
Authors: Nieto Sonia 
Published: August 2017

As an educator whose work has focused on equity and social justice, I have long struggled with a conundrum: how to reconcile meritocracy – an idea at the very heart of U.S. thinking – with the reality of inequality and injustice. I’ve spent my professional life – whether teaching, mentoring, researching, or writing – trying to make sense of these conflicting beliefs. I’ve been on a quest to learn how to teach and write about them with some sense of integrity, with neither an unrealistic Pollyanna-ish optimism nor a doomsday negativism. In this essay, I address what this quest has meant for my teaching, research, and writing. I present two major lessons I’ve learned: one, being humble about what we know and do is essential if we want to collaborate with, and learn from, those who are most impacted by injustice in education, that is, students, their families, and teachers; and two, education is a political endeavor.
Is Rural Tourism a Perspective Driver of Development of Rural Municipalities? – The Case of Slovak Republic
Authors: Melichová Katarína , Majstríková Ľubica 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Importance of rural tourism as a specific form of tourism lies primarily in its potential to be a driving force for the development of rural municipalities and diversify their economic base. The aim of this paper is to verify this assumption, while analysing the relationship between the concentration of tourism activities and migration trends in rural municipalities in Slovakia. The results support the claim that tourism has significant positive effects manifested by a positive migration balance in municipalities where the tourism industry has a significant presence. The relationship between the level of net migration and rural tourism localisation index in rural areas is not entirely clear because of high diversity of rural municipalities. It is true that in the “catching-up” group of rural municipalities, where the previously negative trend of migration turned positive, localisation index of rural tourism reaches a peak, which may suggest that precisely this sector could be the driver of this positive development. On the other hand, there is a group of marginalized rural municipalities where the concentration of rural tourism industry measured by the index of localisation is also relatively high, but nevertheless, these municipalities suffer from a loss of population due to outmigration.

Compact and hash based variants of the suffix array
Authors: Grabowski S. , Raniszewski M. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractFull-text indexing aims at building a data structure over a given text capable of efficiently finding arbitrary text patterns, and possibly requiring little space. We propose two suffix array inspired full-text indexes. One, called SA-hash, augments the suffix array with a hash table to speed up pattern searches due to significantly narrowed search interval before the binary search phase. The other, called FBCSA, is a compact data structure, similar to Mäkinen’s compact suffix array (MakCSA), but working on fixed size blocks. Experiments on the widely used Pizza & Chili datasets show that SA-hash is about 2–3 times faster in pattern searches (counts) than the standard suffix array, for the price of requiring 0.2n–1.1nbytes of extra space, wherenis the text length. FBCSA, in one of the presented variants, reduces the suffix array size by a factor of about 1.5–2, while it gets close in search times, winning in speed with its competitors known from the literature, MakCSA and LCSA.
Directional change in multivariable LQG control with actuator failure
Authors: Horla D. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThe paper presents the phenomenon of directional change in LQG control of multivariable systems with amplitude constraints, as well as the impact of the latter on control performance. The interplay of directional change of the computed control vector with control performance has been thoroughly investigated, and is a result of the presence of constraints imposed on the applied control vector for different proportions of the number of control inputs to plant outputs. The impact of directional change phenomenon on the control performance has been defined, stating that performance deterioration is not tightly coupled with preservation of direction of the computed control vector. The statement has been supported by numerous simulation results for different types of plants with different LQG controller parameters.
Fuzzy number division and the multi-granularity phenomenon
Authors: Piegat A. , Pluciński M. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThe paper presents difficulties connected with fuzzy and interval division. If operations such as fuzzy addition, subtraction and multiplication provide as a result one compact, multidimensional granule, then a result of the fuzzy division can consists of few separated granules. Such results are more difficult to use in next calculations. The paper shows that the number of solution granules can be higher than 2 and that in certain problems division does not occur explicitly. In certain problems, separation of particular solution granules can be considerable. The paper also shows how to realize the fuzzy division when its denominator contains zero. Most types of fuzzy arithmetics forbid such operation. However, the paper shows that it is possible. Multidimensional fuzzy RDM arithmetic and horizontal membership functions which facilitate detecting of solution granules are also described. The considered problems are visualized by examples.

Authors: Hasan M.M. , Faruque M.R.I. , Islam M.T. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to describe a split S-shaped composite meta atom which shows double negative characteristics at resonance frequency. The proposed meta-atom structure exhibits an almost 3.70 GHz bandwidth when the operating frequency from 8 to 14 GHz (X-band). In this study, the ring width, split width, size of substrate material, and the substrate material itself are varying to investigate their effect on the resonance frequencies. Metal strips of the outer resonator are the splits and the inner ring resonator is designed in a way that it forms a split S-shaped structure on the epoxy resin fibre (FR-4) substrate material. The CST Microwave Studio electromagnetic simulator software was used for the design and simulation purposes, and an Agilent N5227A vector network analyser was used for practical measurements.

Authors: Dzerins Andris , Studers Peteris , Zolmanis Matiss 
Published: August 2017

Summary
Hemiarthroplasty (HA) of the hip joint is a commonly used treatment method for displaced femoral neck fractures (FNF) in the elderly population. The revision rates following hemiarthroplasty for trauma are 4-24% (2), but there are few studies in the literature presenting bilateral complications of HA following FNF treatment. We present a 67-year-old female with migration and angular deformity of the left unipolar prosthesis followed by malposition and subluxation of the right unipolar prosthesis after sixteen months, which are not common complications and they are even less frequent to occur in one patient.

A Diagnostic Challenge: Peritoneal Tuberculosis Mimicking Ovarian Cancer
Authors: Rulova Eva , Pumpure Elizabete , Romanovskis Zenons , Puksta-Gulbe Liga 
Published: August 2017

Summary
A 26 years old patient was admitted to hospital with complaints of abdominal pain and febrile temperature. Initially, elevated serum antigen CA-125, ascites and multiple suspicious nodules in the lungs and abdominal cavity on CT were found, thus, diagnosing ovarian cancer. However, after further preoperative examination, the diagnosis of infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis with extrapulmonary involvement was set, thereby cancelling the surgery. The patient was treated with first-line antituberculosis agents and discharged home. Almost in all other cases, peritoneal tuberculosis is diagnosed only after surgical intervention.

Published: August 2017

Abstract
The studies focused on distribution and characteristic of small woodlands and trees as a typical feature of traditional agricultural landscapes (TAL) in Slovakia are missing or are rather local. The source data for this study was obtained from the national inventory of TAL performed in 2010-2012 in Slovakia, where woody vegetation was considered as one of the landscape elements creating mosaic of TAL. Based on the types of woodland present, which endow the landscape with a distinctive character and structure, we have divided TAL into five subtypes: 1) TAL with low occurrence of woodland – not more than 10 % of the site covered by woods, 2) TAL with spatial woodland formation, 3) TAL with solitaire trees dominant, 4) TAL with lines of trees or shrubs dominant, and 5) TAL with small woodland dominant.
The proportion of woodland was relatively low, as TAL with low occurrence of woodland (36 %) was the most extended subtype of TAL. The most common dominant woodland structure was lines of trees and shrubs, with significant occurrence in TAL of arable-land and grassland and TAL with dispersed settlement. They tended to occur on typical agrarian relief forms. Our evaluation was supported by statistical analyses focused on the relationships between woodland type on agrarian relief forms (mostly balks) and their biotic and abiotic characteristics (type of agrarian relief form, content of skeleton, width, height, its continuity, as well as continuity of wood cover)
Application of Earth Observation Data for Estimation of Changes in Land Trajectories in Varanasi District, India
Authors: Singh Sunita , Rai Praveen Kumar 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Digital change detection is the process that helps in shaping the changes associated with land use land cover (LULC) properties with reference to geo-registered multi-temporal remote sensing data. In this study different methods of analyzing satellite images are presented, with the aim to identify changes in land cover in a certain period of time (1980-2016). The methods represented in this study are vegetation indices, image differencing and supervised classification. These methods gave different results in terms of land cover area. Urban expansion has brought serious losses of agriculture land, vegetation and water bodies. The present study demonstrates changes in land trajectories of Varanasi district, India using Landsat MSS (1980), TM (1990 and 2010), ETM+ (2000) and Landsat-8 OLI data (2016). The LULC classes in the study area are divided into eight categories using supervised classification method. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) are also calculated to estimate the changes in LULC classes during these time periods. Major changes are seen from 2000 to 2016 for the built-up, agriculture land, water bodies and wasteland.
Land-Use Changes at Nest Sites of the Little Owl (Athene noctua) in the South-Moravian Region of the Czech Republic

Published: August 2017

Abstract
The Little Owl is currently endangered bird species of agricultural lowland areas in Central Europe. Nesting sites of the Little Owl are often old trees as well as buildings and quarries with suitable nesting cavities. The Little Owl has severely declined in a major part of Europe during the past decades. Information on habitat requirements of the Little Owl and data related to land-use changes at nest sites (covering both the breeding and foraging habitats) are needed for conservation programmes aimed at this bird species. Land-use changes in farmland rank among frequently discussed negative factors causing the population decline of the Little Owl. The aim of this study is to analyse land-use changes at nest sites of the Little Owl in the South-Moravian region (Czech Republic) between the years 1976/1977 and 2014. In both studied periods (1976/1977 and 2014), the most important land-use type within 500 m from the nest sites of the Little Owl was arable land (66.94 % – 62.25 %), followed by built-up areas (19.97 % –22.41 %), while the other land-use types made up less than 5 %. The proportion of the particular land-use type did not change significantly between the years 1976/1977 and 2014. The most important change in comparison with the period 1976/1977 was the decrease in the area of arable land by 4.69 % and that of orchards and gardens by 1.99 %, while the surface of built-up areas increased slightly by 2.45 % and that of meadows and pastures by 1.5 %. The analysis shows that at the known nest sites of the Little Owl in the South-Moravian region (Czech Republic), there were no significant changes in the proportion of the particular land-use types within 500 m from the nests between the years 1976/1977 and 2014. Based on these results, we can conclude that in comparison with the availability of nest sites, which seems to be the important limiting factor for the occurrence and population density of the Little Owl, land-use changes in study area were not very important factor influencing decline of the Little Owl.

Published: August 2017

SummaryThe aim of this study was to evaluate fertility hormone levels in adolescent girls and ten years older women with menstrual irregularities and with or without polycystic ovaries on ultrasound examination. The study population consisted of 276 patients aged 12-18 years and 469 patients aged 22-28 years who had menstrual irregularities with or without polycystic ovaries on ultrasound examination. All subjects underwent a comprehensive medical assessment including documentation of the detailed history, physical and gynecological examination, measurement of the essential laboratory variables, and measurement of the fertility hormone levels. Within 745 patients (mean age: 21.4±4.8), 276 patients were aged 12-18 years (group 1) and 469 patients were aged 22-28 years (group 2). Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) (237.7 (22.6-721.5) vs. 162.5 (2.4- 660.7) respectively; p<0.001) was significantly higher in group 1 than group 2. There were 74 subjects (26.8%) with LH/FSH ratio > 2 in group 1 and 74 subjects (15.8%) with LH/FSH ratio > 2 in group 2 (p<0.001). Biochemical hyperandrogenism is much more valuable in adolescents than in young adult women for the diagnosis of PCOS. Biochemical hyperandrogenism should be tested in adolescents with menstrual irregularities.
A two-decade-interval variation in vowel insertion after word-final English and French postvocalic plosives in Korean adaptation: A sociolinguistic account
Authors: Kim Hyunsoon 
Published: August 2017

Abstract:We investigated whether variation in vowel insertion after word-final English and French postvocalic plosives in Korean adaptation has changed at a two-decade interval by collecting English and French loanword data in the early 1990s and the year 2011. Our data survey has revealed that the overall frequency of final vowel insertion and that of variable insertion and/or no vowel insertion are significantly decreased and increased, respectively, in the 2011 data, no matter whether the plosives are English or French. The data survey is supported by a recent perception study wherein young Koreans have no difference in vowel insertion after English and French plosives, regardless of whether they are released or not, compared to old Koreans. Based on these results, we propose that more direct contact with English than two decades ago has led to more exposure to its spoken usages and that less direct contact with French has led word-final French postvocalic plosives to be perceived more like their English counterparts in vowel insertion by Koreans. It is concluded that the present study suggests the role of sociolinguistic environments over time in loanword adaptation.
The linguist’sDrosophila: Experiments in language change
Authors: Roberts Gareth 
Published: August 2017

AbstractAlthough experimental methods are used in the study of language change, it has been claimed that there is no analogue of the biologist’sDrosophila –no means, in other words, of observing change in the laboratory. Here it is argued that this pessimism is unwarranted, and that there is in fact something equivalent: a set of experimental methods developed originally to study the emergence and evolution of language, and which involve the use of novel “laboratory languages” to play games with a social component. These methods are described, and arguments are made in favor of their broader application to questions of change in modern language. Ideally (as has begun to occur in a few cases) this should involve interdisciplinary collaborations, and it would both open new doors for the testing of hypotheses and bring researchers in the field of language evolution into contact with a vast store of real-world data. Concerns about the authenticity of laboratory data are not unreasonable, but less pressing than might be imagined, and in fact should call for precisely the kind of interdisciplinary approach advocated here. This can only benefit everyone involved.
