The Importance of Linear Landscape Elements for Bats in a Farmland Area: The Influence of Height on Activity
Authors: Toffoli Roberto 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In the past 50 years, widespread removal of hedges and hedgerows in many European regions, with a consequent reduction in biodiversity, has occurred as a result of farming intensification. Acknowledging the ecological importance of linear farmland landscape elements, many agro-environmental schemes provide financial support for the management, conservation and reconstruction of hedges and hedgerows. The efficacy of such initiatives, also aimed at bat conservation, could be enhanced by including the role of hedges and hedgerows correlated to the variability of their physical structure and to the surrounding landscape context. Linear landscape elements are in fact of great importance to bats, whose flight activity tends to increase in proximity to hedges and hedgerows, used both during foraging and as commuting routes. Nevertheless, information concerning the correlation between various physical structures of hedges and flight and foraging techniques in bats is still lacking. The present study analyses the activity of bats along two different hedge types, with and without trees, and in open spaces, in an area of the Padana plane (North-western Italy) as a function of different flight behaviours.
Activity in bats appears higher along hedges than in open spaces but no significant differences are noted between the various hedge types under investigation. Foraging behaviour is primarily detected along hedges with trees but is lower along hedges without trees and in open spaces. This is particularly evident in bat species that have adapted to foraging in closed spaces surrounded by foliage (Myotis and Plecotus genera) or at the periphery of these environments (Pipistrellus genus), whereas it not seen species that forage in open spaces (Nyctalus genus). Hedge reconstruction aimed at bat conservation ought to, therefore, favour tall hedges with trees as opposed to low hedges without trees.

SummaryBackground: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an important oncological and public health problem worldwide, including Serbia. Unfortunately, half of the patients are recognized in an advanced stage of the disease, therefore, early detection through specific tumor biomarkers, such as carcinoembryonic (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), is the only way to cope with CRC expansion.Methods: Our cross-sectional study evaluated the influence of some clinical, endoscopic and histological characteristics of CRC on CEA and CA 19-9 serum levels, to determine whether these biomarkers could be related to CRC detection. The study included 372 participants: 181 suffered from CRC and 191 participants were controls. Endoscopic and histological examinations were used for CRC diagnosis, while additional ultrasound and abdominal computerised tomography imaging were used for staging the disease. Measurement of CEA and CA 19-9 was performed after CRC confirmation.Results: Age, gender, tumor localization, macro-morphological and histological characteristics did not influence biomarkers serum levels. Both were significantly higher (p<0.01) in patients with Dukes D stage of CRC compared with controls. Sensitivity (76.8%) and specificity (76.6%) of CEA alone were higher than for CA 19-9, but with no statistical significance. Furthermore, sensitivity of CEA alone in the Dukes A/B group was similar to the entire CRC patient group.Conclusions: Although not recommended as a screening method for the general population, elevated values of each biomarker indicate further diagnostic procedures and their simultaneous testing can improve the diagnostic sensitivity in early detection of CRC, as shown by the united analysis (AUC 0.842).

Prefixation Ability Index (PAI) as a powerful typological tool of historical linguistics
Authors: Akulov Alexander 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
At present there are many odd hypotheses about the genetic affiliation of certain languages. Most such hypotheses are invented without any serious examination of the structural differences between the languages being compared. The PAI method was inspired by ideas of A. P. Volodin, who noticed that there were two types of languages, one type has prefixation and the other does not. Actually, there is no sharp divide between the two types, it is more precise to use a coefficient (i.e. PAI) rather than simply ask “does a language allow prefixation?” The PAI theory supposed there was correlation between values of PAI of genetically related languages. Tests of PAI on the material of well assembled stocks prove that such correlations exist. Being applied to Ainu and to languages that are possibly supposed to be related to it. The PAI shows that Ainu that is not related to either Altaic or Nivkh, while a search for relatives of Ainu to the south shows potential. Also PAI can be useful in the case of other unsettled questions of language affiliation in North America, New Guinea, Southeast Asia, Africa and other places.

Zoya Rezanova & Konstantin Shilyaev. Megametaphor as a coherence and cohesion device in a cycle of literary texts. The Poznań Society for the Advancement of Arts and Sciences, PL ISSN 0079-4740, pp. 31-39
The present study is concerned with the notion of megametaphor and its role in the cohesion and coherence of the text, as well as its intertextual function. We discuss the method of identifying and structuring megametaphor in a literary text and apply it to four novels by Jack London that have dogs as their protagonists. The megametaphor DOG IS A MAN is shown to organize the texts both conceptually - via a coherent set of frame structures of the source domain - and linguistically, by way of applying a network of metaphorical lexemes to the description of a dog.

Published: July 2016

Abstract This study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of collaborative strategic reading and whole language approach on reading comprehension performance of primary school children with learning disabilities in Oyo state Nigeria. Seventy eight pupils participated in the study; they were between ages nine and eleven. Five hypotheses were generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance, convenience sampling technique was used to sample participants. The study was carried out in ten weeks. A pre test post test control group quasi experimental design with a 3 x 2 factorial matrix was adopted for the study. Analysis of covariance and t-test statistics were used to analyse the data collected. The five null hypotheses were rejected because there was significant difference in treatment effect across treatment groups and gender. It is hereby recommended that collaborative strategic reading should be employed to teach reading comprehension in Nigerian primary schools.

Published: July 2016

Abstract
The industrialization of peaches gives origin to
leftover remaining from fruit canning, juice or jam production. The transformation of leftover to dietary fiber
(DF) concentrates represents a strategy that can be incorporated in productive processes tending to optimize raw
material use. In the present research, DF was obtained
from peach (Prunus persica L.) using an ethanol treatment
followed by dehydration. The influence of four factors:
time and temperature of ethanol treatment prior to drying
step, ratio of ethanol to sample and drying temperature
using microwave or convective drying on different properties (yield, hydration properties, oil holding capacity
and apparent density) of the concentrate obtained, were
studied through a two level orthogonal design. Yield
ranged between 4.38-7.27 g/100g for all the conditions
explored. Time and temperature of the ethanol extraction
affected properties when a subsequent convective drying
was employed. The effect of the ethanol/sample ratio and
of the temperature of drying on oil holding capacity and
hydration properties was mainly detected on samples
dried by microwave technique. The results obtained provide insight into the effect of processing of plant residues on the properties of DF concentrates obtained and
on their potential performance as ingredients or additives for the food industry. It could be concluded that the
drying technique is a key factor in relation to the properties of dietary fiber enriched fractions isolated from peach.
Microwave drying allowed to produce fractions with functional properties that can be modulated through the use
of different relations of ethanol to sample ratio and drying
temperatures.
Verkörperung – Embodiment – Körperwissen

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Das Konzept eines körperlichen Wissens gewinnt in einer Reihe von Diskursen zunehmend an Bedeutung: Wissenschafts-, Kultur- und Kunsttheorie, Sprach-, Medien- und Technikphilosophie, Ethnologie, Soziologie, Psychologie, Geschichtswissenschaften, Archäologie und Museumskunde – in ganz unterschiedlichen Bereichen spielen Begriffe wie tacit knowledge, implizites, verkörpertes und inkorporiertes Wissen, materiale Praxis und Performativität, Leiblichkeit und Materialität (material turn), situatedness, embodiment und embeddedness eine tragende Rolle. Der Text gibt eine historisch-systematische Kartierung von Diskursen und Denkfiguren, die – von der griechischen Antike bis ins 20. Jahrhundert – das gegenwärtige Diskursfeld geprägt haben.
Die Sichtbarkeit und Unsichtbarkeit von Körperwissen in der Kodifikation der Künste in der frühen Neuzeit
Authors: Dupré Sven 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Dieser Aufsatz behandelt das Thema der Darstellung von Körperwissen in der Kodifikation der Künste und Kunsthandwerke der frühen Neuzeit. Das Erlernen des Zeichnens war der Grundstein künstlerischer Ausbildung. Während vom 16. Jahrhundert an immer mehr Bücher und Anleitungen zum Erlernen des Zeichnens gedruckt wurden, einschließlich Teilen der gesamten menschlichen Gestalt im richtigen Verhältnis, so fällt doch auf, dass die Hand des Zeichners bei den in diesen Büchern beschriebenen Verfahren abwesend war. Vor dem Hintergrund der generellen Unsichtbarkeit von Körperbewegungen und Haltungen in den Kodifikationen der Künste der frühen Neuzeit untersucht dieser Aufsatz, wie sie sichtbar wurden.
Die Vollkommenheit der Schauspieler und Gehörlosen
Authors: Laqua Anna 
Published: July 2016

AbstractDie bis heute wenig erforschten Texte des Londoner Arztes und Baconianers John Bulwer (1606-1656) entwerfen eine höchst originäre Theorie körperlichen Ausdrucks, die sich besonders gut anhand seiner Äußerungen zur Gehörlosigkeit nachvollziehen lässt. Denn die Befähigung zu Gebärdensprache und Lippenlesen wertet Bulwer als Zeugnis eines Körperwissens, das es ermöglicht, alternative Formen somatischer Beredsamkeit hervorzubringen. Die in diesem Kontext entwickelte „ körperliche Philosophie“ („Corporall Philosophy“) habe die Körpersprache als ein Wissensfeld zu berücksichtigen, das Aristoteles vollständig vernachlässigt habe, wie Bulwer unter Berufung auf Francis Bacon konstatiert. Bei seinem Vorhaben, diesem Desiderat beizukommen, greift Bulwer auf ein explizit theatrales Vokabular zurück. Welche epistemologischen Implikationen sich mit diesem Transfer verbinden, soll auf Grundlage eines frühneuzeitlichen Verständnisses von, Theater‘ als einer spezifischen Wahrnehmungssituation gezeigt werden.
Medizinisches Wissen des tibetischen Buddhismus in Bewegung
Authors: Triplett Katja 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Die tibetische Heilkunde wird als ethnische Medizin in Teilen der Volksrepublik China, in Indien sowie in Regionen Zentralasiens praktiziert. Zudem wirken heute Kundige dieser Heilkunst auch außerhalb Asiens. Da Tibet zutiefst vom Buddhismus geprägt ist, spielen buddhistische Gedanken der Beziehung von Körper, Geist und den Gottheiten eine besondere Rolle in Tibets Medizin. So ist die medizinische Heilung in direktem Zusammenhang mit dem buddhistischen Heil zu sehen. Im Beitrag wird medizinische Episteme aus dieser Tradition anhand von textlichen und bildlichen Primärquellen, die bis heute im Zentrum der Tradierung medizinisch-rituellen Wissens stehen, vorgestellt und diskutiert, welche Probleme sich bei einem Transfer dieses Wissens beispielsweise nach Deutschland ergeben können.
Eine Kampfkunst lernen: Didaktische Transformationen und somatische Kommunikation
Authors: Schindler Larissa 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Seit geraumer Zeit beschäftigt sich die Soziologie mit der Thematik des „Körperwissens“: Von Marcel Mauss’ These der Körpertechniken über Schütz’ Ausführungen zu Fertigkeiten, Bourdieus Thesen zum Habitus bis hin zu einer Reihe aktueller Arbeiten reicht der Bogen. Ich beschäftige mich im Folgenden mit dem Phänomen der schweigsamen Wissensvermittlung aus mikrosoziologischer Perspektive. Anhand von empirischem Material aus einer ethnografischen Studie in einem Kampfkunstverein gehe ich der Frage nach, wie in der alltäglichen Praxis des Trainings ein zum großen Teil im Medium des Körperlichen operierendes Wissen vom Trainer an die Schüler/-innen weitergegeben wird. Dabei zeigt sich, dass das körperliche Wissen der (inzwischen europäisch geprägten) Kampfkunst vor allem auf visuellem und somatischem Weg vermittelt wird. Körper führen Bewegungen vor und sie geben einander in Partnerübungen Feedback. Das Körperwissen der Kampfkunst wird peu à peu in einer Kommunikation zwischen Körpern (Goffman) weitergegeben, die jedoch nicht nur einen visuellen, sondern vor allem auch einen somatischen Kanal hat.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of Sensory Integration and Sherborne Developmental Movement in improving of psychomotor functioning of autistic children
Authors: Zawadzka Dominika , Rymarczuk Aleksandra , Bugaj Rafał 
Published: July 2016

AbstractIntroduction: Autism is considered to be a holistic, pervasive developmental disorder, significantly determining functioning of the people suffering from it. Currently we witness an increase in detectability of this developmental disorder, with multi-factor, unclear ethology. To holistically improve functioning of autistic persons, early therapeutic intervention is necessary; its character should be individually adjusted to the needs of every child. Sensory Integration and Weronika Sherborne’s Developmental Movement positively influence the psychomotor development of autistic children. They are among therapy methods preferred by therapists and accepted by children. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Sensory Integration and Sherborne Developmental Movement in improving psychomotor functioning of children with autism. Material and methods: We studied a group of 24 children aged 6-12, clinically diagnosed with autism. 12 children participated in the Sensory Integration sessions and similarly, 12 children participated in Sherborne Developmental Movement. To assess the children’s activity regarding psychomotor development, the scale for observing children’s behaviour (SOZ-D) by Marta Bogdanowicz was used. Four development areas were studied: cognitive, emotional, social and motor, as well as various aspects of each of them. The study had two stages. Observation was conducted at the beginning of the therapy and after it had ended. For both methods the duration of the therapeutic programme was 4 months, with 45 minute sessions once a week. They took place in a properly equipped room, adapted for the needs of autistic children. Results: Based on analysis of the results of the research conducted we determined that both therapy methods resulted in a significant improvement in all development sub-scales: cognitive, emotional, social and motor. No significant differences in the effectiveness of both methods were observed. Conclusions: Both Sensory Integration and Sherborne Developmental Movement positively impact children with autism and can be effective forms of therapy.
Embodied identity – gendered body
Authors: Banaszak Ewa 
Published: July 2016

AbstractIn the literature one often comes across a thesis that body plays more relevant role in the development of female identity than in the development of male identity. Beauty and appearance are treated as key factors among numerous categories explicating the thesis. The beauty is considered to be the key feature in the definition of women, hence the appearance should be more relevant to female’s identity and should constitute the self and expansively introduce the body into consciousness and self-consciousness. Such a paradigm of relations between body and identity indicates that male’s identity is less embodied. What if it is not less embodied but anchored in different categories than appearance and beauty? What are these categories? Are these categories equally expansive in the introduction of body into consciousness and self-consciousness? An attempt to provide answers to these questions is based on interviews focused on the variety of experiences of nudity.

AbstractThe aim of the study: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the effects of music included in the music therapy programme on complete relaxation of patients during physiotherapy procedures.Material and methods: The study was based on a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was completed by 30 people aged 18-70 who were actively subject to music therapy, and 30 people who did not listen to any music - i.e. a control group, aged 18-70; a total of 60 respondents. The questionnaire included 22 questions, which were the following: personal information, questions about music and music preferences, forms of musical activity, the role it plays in one’s life, ways of relaxation, the effects of music on pain sensation, emotions experienced during physiotherapy, expectations about the treatment sessions, opinions on the usefulness of music in relaxation during procedures. Another tool used was the Acceptance of Illness Scale questionnaire (AIS) designed by B.J. Felton, T.A Revenson, G.A. Hinrichsen, as adapted by Siegfried Juczyński. The scale is used to examine the sick. It is used to measure the level of acceptance of a disease. The tests were carried out at the Private Rehabilitation Clinic in Krojanty. The study commenced after obtaining the consent of the Bioethics Committee at the Nicolaus Copernicus University at Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz.Conclusions: The majority of patients who participated in both the physiotherapy sessions, as well as music therapy sessions demonstrated a high level of acceptance of their health condition (assessed with the use of AIS questionnaire).

Published: July 2016

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to investigate the Fricke dosimeter water equivalent system for measurement of dosimetric parameters for photon beam. The parameters measured with the Fricke dosimeter were compared to those obtained with an ionization chamber. In this work characteristics for 60Co γ-rays of field sizes ranging from 5 × 5 cm2 to 20 × 20 cm2 are reported. The measurements were carried out in the secondary standard dosimetry laboratory using a collimated 60Co gamma source therapy unit. The 60Co beam output in terms of absorbed dose to water was obtained as per IAEA TRS 398 recommendations using cylindrical ionization chamber, whose ND,w has been supplied by the IAEA's reference laboratory. Specific quantities measured include: output factors, peak scatter factor, lateral beam profiles and percentage depth dose. The Fricke dosimeters were irradiated in a water phantom using the suitable poly (methyl methacrylate), PMMA stand. Our results demonstrate that Fricke dosimeter and ionization chamber agree with each other.
