Abstract
Children develop rapidly and many exogenous determinants of health significantly affect their somatic and mental development. There is a subjective perception of cognitive load associated with the educational process. The aim of the study is to assess individual environmental, behavioral and psychosocial factors influencing physical health and to investigate the amount of mental load in children. We investigated 87 schoolchildren (47 girls and 40 boys) aged 10–12 years, who were attending primary school in Bratislava. To assess values of selected factors we used a questionnaire form and personality characteristics were estimated by standardized psycho-diagnostic and IQ tests [range of classic fear, social-situation anxiety and jitters [skala Klasickeho strachu a Socialno-situacnej (in Slovak)] (KSAT), Eyesenck Personality Questionnaire for children (EPQ), Raven’s IQ test]. Self-reported perception of mental load was assessed by questionnaire of subjective feelings and states (SFS). Children’s body parameters were assessed using anthropometric measurements [height, weight, chest, abdominal and hip girth, Rohrer’s index (RI), body mass index (BMI)] and a body fat measurement method (skinfold thickness). The results confirmed a significant relationship between higher parameters of overweight and obesity and irregular breakfast eating (p<0.05), absence of family dining (p<0.05), exposure to tobacco smoke in the family environment (p<0.01) and mother’s level of education (p<0.05). Almost 60% of children reported high mental effort and cognitive load associated with the educational process. We note a close relationship between the higher mental load and the score of neuroticism (p<0.01). The physical and mental health of schoolchildren is significantly affected by exogenous factors. Therefore, in terms of protection and promotion of children’s health, it is important to evaluate and monitor environmental risk factors and to form their healthy habits.
Adaptive input data transformation for improved network reconstruction with information theoretic algorithms
Authors: Kannan Venkateshan , Tegner Jesper 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
We propose a novel systematic procedure of non-linear data transformation for an adaptive algorithm in the context of network reverse-engineering using information theoretic methods. Our methodology is rooted in elucidating and correcting for the specific biases in the estimation techniques for mutual information (MI) given a finite sample of data. These are, in turn, tied to lack of well-defined bounds for numerical estimation of MI for continuous probability distributions from finite data. The nature and properties of the inevitable bias is described, complemented by several examples illustrating their form and variation. We propose an adaptive partitioning scheme for MI estimation that effectively transforms the sample data using parameters determined from its local and global distribution guaranteeing a more robust and reliable reconstruction algorithm. Together with a normalized measure (Shared Information Metric) we report considerably enhanced performance both for in silico and real-world biological networks. We also find that the recovery of true interactions is in particular better for intermediate range of false positive rates, suggesting that our algorithm is less vulnerable to spurious signals of association.
Lepidophloios acerosus Lindley and Hutton 1831 in the Carboniferous Cucuiova Formation, “Iron Gates” Natural Park (Banat, Romania)
Authors: Popa Mihai Emilian 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The Carboniferous Cucuiova Formation of the Sirinia Basin, Danubian Units, in Almăj Mountains, South Carpathians, yields a highly diverse yet rare compressive flora representing significant heritage values of the “Iron Gates” Natural Park. This flora includes pteridophytes (lycopsids, sphenopsids, filicopsids) and gymnosperms (pteridosperms and conifers), some of these representatives being important coal generators during the Late Carboniferous times. The facies features, distribution and paleofloral features of the Cucuiova Formation are discussed in the framework of the Sirinia Basin. The lycopsid Lepidophloios acerosus Lindley and Hutton 1831 is reported for the first time in Romania from the Cucuiova Formation in Dragosela Valley, in the central part of the “Iron Gates” Natural Park.
Orchidaceae L. Family in the “Iron Gates” Park (Romania)
Authors: Milanovici Sretco 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Currently, little information is available about the orchid flora in the “Iron Gates” Nature Park, especially due to the lack of the data regarding the detailed geographical distribution and the actual conservation status of species and populations. According to the data provided by the specialist literature for the south-west of Romania, 39 species of orchids are found in this area, of which 29 are in the Danube Gorge (known as Clisura Dunării ‒ “Iron Gates” Nature Park). The field researches regarding the Orchidaceae L. family in the “Iron Gates” Nature Park area have been conducted over a period covering 15 years, from 1996 to 2011. During research conducted in the field I acknowledged the presence of 23 orchid species in the Danube Gorge area and ascertained the presence of new orchid species in the research area: two new species in the Danube Gorge area (“Iron Gates” Nature Park): Epipactis purpurata Sm. and Listera ovata (L.)

Published: November 2016

AbstractAn important fisheries sector of the Danube, the “Iron Gates” area, was studied by famous naturalists along the history like Marsigli, Haeckel, Kner, Antipa and Bănărescu. After more than half a century after the last main publication in this area, the “Iron Gates” Danube sector suffered significant human impact, and an assessment of the fish fauna was needed. The paper summarizes the trend of fish species along the XIX to XXIst centuries, and reveals the appearance of new species. The study includes data from about 65 fish species, belonging to: Acipenseridae, Polyodontidae, Clupeidae, Salmonidae, Esocidae, Cyprinidae, Cobitidae, Siluridae, Ictaluridae, Anguillidae, Lotidae, Gasterosteidae, Syngnathidae, Centrarchidae, Percidae, Gobiidae, Odontobutidae, and Cottidae. The major hidrotechnical works along with pollution, overexploitation and poachery, induced major changes in the ichthyofauna structure.

Published: November 2016

Abstract
Our study aims at evaluating the ecological impact of landscape fragmentation, identifying, and classifying the threats affecting habitats of community interest in the “Iron Gates” Natural Park. We used landscape metrics for assessing the fragmentation process, results expressing decreases in the values of three metrics (MPS, ED, SDI) and increases for two metrics (NumP and IJI). We observed an insignificant increase in landscape fragmentation related to a reduced decrease of its landscape diversity for the 1990-2006 timeframe. We classified the main anthropic threats to habitats of community interest in three main categories: diversification and densification of buildings and transportation infrastructures, land use and industrial activities.

Published: November 2016

AbstractIn the present paper, we identified landscape typologies in the “Iron Gates” Natural Park from Romania and assessed their dynamic starting with 1990 to 2006. We evaluated the dynamic of landscapes based on land use and land covers changes as extracted from the Corine Land Cover databases. We found no major modifications in the distribution of landscapes, only 4.4% of the study area recording changes. Forestry landscapes have the highest ratio of change (on 1.5% from the total surface of the park), with significant decreases also recorded in landscapes of shrub and rare vegetation, as well as mixed agricultural landscapes. Among the active transformation processes, forestation (on 45% of the modified surface) and agricultural activities (20%) recorded the highest distribution.

Published: November 2016

Abstract
Unusual physical properties of ionic liquids (ILs) can be implemented in many different applications and are very sensitive to the structure of IL. In this work we investigate the spin dynamics of probe molecule Zn tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) dissolved in a series of ILs using time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TR EPR). We compare the TR EPR characteristics in C2-methylated imidazolium-based ILs [bmmim]BF4 and [bmmim]PF6 and in their C2-protonated analogs [bmim]BF4 and [bmim]PF6 to assess the influence of C2-methylation. The corresponding TR EPR signatures are drastically different in the two types of ILs. The analysis of experimental data allows assumptions that the ZnTPP molecule is distorted in C2-methylated ILs, contrary to other organic media and C2-protonated analogs. The mobility of ZnTPP in C2-methylated ILs is smaller compared to that in C2-protonated analogs, implying different microenvironment formed around dissolved ZnTPP.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Pediatric hypertension predisposes children to adult hypertension and early markers of cardiovascular disease. No large-scale studies have examined diagnosis and initial medication management of pediatric hypertension and prehypertension. The objective of this study was to evaluate diagnosis and initial medication management of pediatric hypertension and prehypertension in primary care.

METHODS:
Retrospective cohort study aggregating electronic health record data on &gt;1.2 million pediatric patients from 196 ambulatory clinics across 27 states. Demographic, diagnosis, blood pressure (BP), height, weight, and medication prescription data extracted. Main outcome measures include proportion of pediatric patients with ≥3 visits with abnormal BPs, documented hypertension and prehypertension diagnoses, and prescribed antihypertensive medications. Marginal standardization via logistic regression produced adjusted diagnosis rates.

RESULTS:
Three hundred ninety-eight thousand seventy-nine patients, ages 3 to 18, had ≥3 visits with BP measurements (48.9% girls, 58.6% &lt;10 years old). Of these, 3.3% met criteria for hypertension and 10.1% for prehypertension. Among practices with ≥50 eligible patients, 2813 of 12 138 patients with hypertension (23.2%; 95% confidence interval, 18.2%–28.2%) and 3990 of 38 874 prehypertensive patients (10.2%; 95% confidence interval, 8.2%–12.2%) were diagnosed. Age, weight, height, sex, and number and magnitude of abnormal BPs were associated with diagnosis rates. Of 2813 diagnosed, persistently hypertensive patients, 158 (5.6%) were prescribed antihypertensive medication within 12 months of diagnosis (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptive blockers [35%], diuretics [22%], calcium channel blockers [17%], and β-blockers [10%]).

CONCLUSIONS:
Hypertension and prehypertension were infrequently diagnosed among pediatric patients. Guidelines for diagnosis and initial medication management of abnormal BP in pediatric patients are not routinely followed.

Here we report new records of this species and briefly describe the habitat of calling males. We found new localities of occurrence of D. nahdereri in Brazilian states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. We collected calling males in temporary lentic water bodies surrounded by arboreal vegetation, inside and on the border of native forest, and inside Pinus plantations near native forest.
Andragogue Roles Expression Modern Society

Published: November 2016

The article reveals and analyzes the heterogenic roles of andragogues in the nowadays changing adult education reality. Today we can meet the elements of andragogue’s activities in various sectors and social fields: vocational education and training, continuing vocational training, professional and social integration, institutions and organisations providing in-service training for staff, adult education, various administrative structures, associations, leisure clubs, health education, social work, colleges, universities, institutions that are dealing with informally or non-formally acquired learning outcomes validation, providing counselling or information services, etc.
Thus, the andragogue’s profession is not legitimized yet and there is no andragogue’s position, we have to discuss the roles that are really performed and their expression in other positions.
The article consists of two chapters. The Chapter One analyzes various roles realized by andragogue: andragogue lecturer, organizer, analyst, counsellor, and tutor. There are efforts based on scientific literature analysis and praxeological andragogues’ activities investigations in order to justify the roles performed by andragogue.
The Chapter Two is dedicated to the real expression of the andragogue’s performance roles in different positions of adult education actor. It is assumed that this factor makes andragogues’ professionalization more difficult, there is a need to legitimize the profession.
PENSAMENTO PÓS-ABISSAL E PÓS-COLONIALISMO EM BOAVENTURA DE SOUSA SANTOS: CRÍTICAS E AVANÇOS EPISTEMOLÓGICOS
Authors: Amorim João Paulo De Almeida 
Published: November 2016

<p class="Standard">Este artigo visa estudar e refletir sobre o desenvolvimento do pensamento pós-abissal e sua relação epistemológica com a teoria pós-colonial. Para tanto, a metodologia utilizada considera obras de referência no pós-colonialismo latino-americano como Lander (2005), Bonnici (1998), Mignolo (2005), além de Santos (2002; 2007; 2008), que são referências para discutir a questão pós-colonial na atualidade. Verificou-se através da análise da teoria pós-colonial e o pensamento pós-abissal que, essas teorias têm um eixo comum, que é a crítica ao modo de visão de mundo adotado pelo modelo ocidental hegemônico, construído, principalmente, nos países colonizadores. Em seguida, segue o debate acerca das possíveis saídas para o gargalo epistêmico em que se encontram as ciências sociais. As práticas sociais visadas por Boaventura são o cosmopolitismo subalterno, tradução intercultural, artesania das práticas e os saberes alternativos não-científicos. Além disso, a reflexão passa pela crítica feita ao marxismo por Boaventura e sua discussão de como Marx enxergava o colonialismo. Por fim, discute-se de como pode-se aprofundar o debate, suas possíveis limitações e avanços epistêmicos desenvolvidos, considerações e críticas construtivas, além da reflexão sobre o debate do pensamento pós-colonial no Brasil, que apresenta, ainda, poucos autores escrevendo sobre a teoria pós-colonial. </p>
ENTRE PERCURSOS, LUGARES E FRONTEIRAS DO AMAPÁ, RUMO À TERRA PROMETIDA
Authors: Carla Marques Costa Silvia 
Published: November 2016

<p>A proposta deste texto é refletir o imaginário social e as crenças percebidas como representação do povoamento do Estado do Amapá. Ademais o texto chama atenção ao tratamento dado às políticas imigratórias na região de fronteira, Brasil e França. Trata-se de uma reflexão que sublinha o papel que essas políticas ocupam para contribuir com o melhoramento na qualidade de vida dos habitantes da fronteira. Este ponto geográfico, o Amapá, ainda pouco conhecido, constitui-se de um espaço hibrido em permanente processo de negociação das identidades. Compreender este espaço é revelar as negociações elaboradas nos interstícios dos processos culturais identitário. As relações de poder decorrente das experiências coletivas vão sendo dinamizadas nas fronteiras por meio de imaginário simbólico. A equação estabelecida tanto pelo atrativo econômico quanto pelo espirito de protagonismo social - numa terra em que tudo estar por fazer - é que mobiliza a esperança, o imaginário de sucesso, os desejos que reverberam a expectativa de ser o Amapá: “a terra prometida”. </p>

Published: November 2016

Di Indonesia, kekurangan Vitamin A masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang penting seperti terlihat pada balita penderita vitamin A defisiensi subklinis yang tinggi (50%). Hal tersebut akan berpengaruh terhadap berbagai fungsi tubuh yang antara lain meliputi sistem imun, penglihatan, sistem reproduksi dan diferensiasi sel. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kontribusi konsumsi minyak yang diperkaya vitamin A dalam memperbaiki status vitamin A dan hemoglobin balita. Penelitian dengan disain studi intervensi Before-After ini dilaksanakan pada anak sehat berusia 7-10 tahun yang diberi obat cacing sebelum intervensi dilakukan. Pengukuran serum retinol dan hemoglobin dilakukan sebelum dan 3 bulan setelah intervensi . Minyak yang difortifikasi vitamin A telah disediakan di warung/ toko di sekitar tempat tinggal responden. Untuk meningkatkan demand, penelitian ini dilengkapi dengan pendekatan pemasaran sosial yang dilakukan pihak lain. Secara umum tidak terlihat perubahan status gizi, tetapi prevalensi anemia turun dari 21,8% menjadi 11,6%. Sementara, prevalens vitamin A defisiensi ditemukan lebih rendah pada anak yang mengkonsumsi ³12 minggu (26,6%) daripada yang mengkonsumsi < 12 minggu (42%) . Hasil tersebut dapat dijadikan pertimbangan untuk merekomendasikan agar minyak difortifikasi vitamin A.Kata kunci: Defisiensi vitamin A, anak sekolah, minyak fortifikasiAbstractVitamin A deficiency (VAD) remains as one of significant public health problems in Indonesia. Around 50% of under five children are suffering from subclinical VAD. Deficiency of vitamin A will affect several important role in the body, such as immune system, vision, reproductive system and cell differentiation. Therefore, guarding Indonesian children to be free from VAD is crucial for their quality as Human Resources. We assessed the impact of the consumption of vitamin A fortified cooking oil on the improvement of vitamin A and hemoglobin status among school children in urban slum area in Makassar City. The study was an intervention design Before-After. Healthy school children 7-10 years were selected from schools and de-wormed before the intervention. Serum retinol and hemoglobin was measured at baseline and at 3 months after. Fortified oil was made available through distribution at shops and accompanied with social marketing. Eventhough overall there was no change in VAD prevalence, the VAD prevalence is lower among children who consumedfortified oil ³12 weeks (26.6%) compared to those who consumed <12 weeks (42%). Prevalence of anemia decreased from 21.8% to 11.6%. We recommended that fortified oil is made mandatory.Key words: Vitamin A deficiency, school children, fortified oil
