AbstractIt is widely accepted that psychological stress and mental illness can compromise the function of the immune system. Clinical and epidemiological studies on humans recognized that specific psychosocial factors, such as stress, chronic depression and lack of social support are risk factors for the development and progression of cancer. Unfortunately, most of the animals studies on this subject are based on laboratory tests performed on mice. This retrospective cohort study aims to analyze the relation between stress and tumor in pet dogs, by evaluating and comparing the stress level in two groups of 69 dogs each, balanced for sex and age: the oncologic group consists of dogs diagnosed with cancer and the control group consists of healthy dogs. Our results show that, before the cancer diagnosis, more dogs in the oncologic group faced changes in their household and routine as opposed to the control group (p<0.05). More dogs of the oncologic group than the control group also showed signs of stress and anxiety, before the cancer diagnosis (p<0.05). As reported by their owners, these included attention seeking, hiding without a specific reason, following the owner around the house, hyper-vigilance, fear of fireworks and gunshots, biting, aggression towards other dogs, licking and chewing excessively parts of their body. Our results are aligned with the evidence from human research, indicating that dogs with cancer are significantly more likely to have shown signs of stress compared to the control dogs during their life.
Simple modeling of the ratio of fields at a tip and at contacting surface
Authors: Bortchagovsky E. G. 
Published: June 2016

AbstractThe proposed concept of Raman probe for nearfield optical microscopy raises the question about the similarity of fields acting on specimens deposited at the tip apex and contacting surface. The signal generated at these two close but different points is defined by local fields, so it is the ratio of the fields at these points, that is the quantity of interest here. This work is concerned with the application of a simple dipole model for the analysis of the ratio of fields at the tip apex and at contacting surface as a function of their separation.
Gender Wage Differences in the Czech Public Sector: A Micro-level Case
Authors: Hedija Veronika 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The aim of this study is to estimate the unexplained gender pay gap in individual departments of a Czech hospital, to find out whether this gap varies between departments and, if so, to identify the possible causes of these differences. To estimate the unexplained part of the gender pay gap, we use the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT), and to identify the causes behind differences in the unexplained gender pay gap we use a linear regression model. We find that the ATT varies significantly between departments. To explain these differences, we use selected characteristics of the departments: the department’s size, the proportion of women in the department, and the gender of the departmental head. We come to the conclusion that women’s wages increase relative to male wages as the proportion of female employees grows. On the other hand, the unexplained gender wage gap is not proven to be lower in smaller or female-led departments.
New approach based on biomarkers in acute traumatic spinal cord injury
Authors: Tascu Al. , Iencean St.M. , Iencean A.St. 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most devastating traumas for an individual because the complete traumatic spinal cord injury leads to paraplegia or tetraplegia. The mechanical injuries directly cause axonal destruction in fiber tracts, destruction of the neurons and of the glial cells, and their destruction releases substances whose presence, quantity and dynamics can be lesional biomarkers. The reactions of partially injured cells simultaneously start and the occurring substances and their quantity may be reaction biomarkers. The lesional biomarkers appear immediately postinjury and after several hours there are both lesional biomarkers and reaction biomarkers. The most important lesional biomarkers are the phosphorylated neurofilament subunits resulting from the axonal neurofilament destruction. The heavy phosphorylated neurofilament subunit (pNF-H) is a predictive lesional biomarker because its values pattern can show the reducing or stopping of the secondary lesions and the favorable outcome. The complete SCI patients with a favorable development had a specific pattern of daily values of pNF-H: a sudden increase up to a maximum value then a progressive decrease to normal. The patients with unfavorable outcome or neurological stabilisation had two patterns: an increase to a plateau of pNF-H values or a progressive increase up to a peak followed by a progressive decrease to quasi-normal values.

Abstract
Trigeminal schwannoma is the second commonest intracranial schwannoma; they remain rare. A minority exhibit cystic changes, with even fewer an intracystic fluid level. We report a case of a 45-year-old man, presented with a progressive hearing loss, worsening right-sided facial spasms and facial numbness in the region of the right trigeminal nerve. Neurological examination revealed hypoesthesia in the right facial region and intermittent rights sided hemi-facial spasms, without signs of raised intracranial pressure or achieve the mixed nerves or neurological deficit. A Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a cystic mass in the right cerebello-pontine angle with extension forward towards the cavum meckel. The patient was operated by retro sigmoid approach, with a total resection of the tumor.
Intracranial cystic schwannomas constitute an uncommon subset of tumors with a distinct clinico-biological behavior. The presence of fluid–fluid levels within the tumors, although rare, confirms the cystic nature of the neoplasms. Cystic areas are usually secondary to the coalescence of mucinous or microcystic regions in Antoni B tissues. The treatment is surgical in the majority of cases and stereotactic radiosurgery has a clear role for adjuvant treatment of post-surgical recurrence of the tumor or residue.

Abstract The article deals with innovations used in the USA to assist novice teachers with adaptation to professional activity. It has been found out that the experience in implementing support programs for novice teachers and introducing the position of a mentor at schools is an extremely innovative system of novice teachers’ adaptation in the USA. The analysis of pedagogical scientific works proves that novice teachers participate in different support programs: they attend seminars and conferences; they are offered to apply optimal approaches to student learning, attend lessons conducted by highly qualified teachers and analyze such lessons; a mentor is appointed for each novice teacher for the period of 2-5 years who assists him/her with writing personal professional development plan, lesson planning, teaches how to solve complicated pedagogical problems, analyze and define strong and weak sides of pedagogical activity that should be improved. Various support programs for novice teachers, organization and content of the educational process are different in American states, districts and schools, assist with improving knowledge obtained at university and serve as an intermediate stage between study programs and professional development during the whole period of teaching. We consider the abovementioned achievements to be worth further investigation. Moreover, positive aspects of such experience can be effectively implemented into the practice of secondary and high schools in Ukraine.
Origin and Development of Multicultural Education in the USA

Published: June 2016

Abstract Modern society is undergoing complex social, economic and political transformations of planetary scope due to globalization processes. One of the peculiarities of a modern globalization wave is an intercultural interaction that, in its turn, has resulted in multicultural education. Multicultural education is quite a new branch of pedagogical theory and practice. Its appearance is considered to be connected with a period of complex social and cultural transformations in the USA during 1960s-1970s. However, J. Banks, an American scholar, proves that multicultural education is closely related to African-American movement of the 19th-20th centuries. Having analyzed the history of origins of multicultural education and stages of its development presented in works by J. Banks and C. Grant we can conclude that the process is associated, predominantly, with migration, and originated as a means of racism prevention. In the course of time the essence of multicultural education was shaped. It became obvious that multicultural education must meet needs of representatives of both different races and social groups. Also, the implementation of multicultural education into practice depends on high-quality professional training of a pedagogue able to work in the context of multicultural society. According to A. Thomas contemporary multicultural education is needed when an individual strives to understand peculiar systems of values, perception, cognition and thinking of people from different cultural backgrounds, integrate new experience into his/her own cultural system and apply it to alien cultural field. Nowadays theory and practice of multicultural education in the USA are still actively developing. Quite high demand are researches of outstanding American scholars and pedagogues in the field of multicultural education, namely, J. Banks, C. Grant, S. Nieto, Ch. Sleeter and many others.

Abstract In the context of information technology development of a society requirements to professional training of teachers and forming of their competencies are increasing. The need for provision of media education consistent with challenges of an information society, organization of pedagogues’ in the field of media education training, based on media needs of the youth, development of innovative approaches and implementation of effective media education models into all the segments of education has been emphasized. Informatization is becoming a leading trend in education modernization that causes the need for advancing a level of teachers’ training, as the latter should possess information technologies. Thus, special attention should be paid to implementation of new learning forms that presuppose the use of computer resources. Ukraine requires an intensive informatization of the education system. Quite urgent for Ukrainian education system is the implementation of new multimedia technologies into the educational process of primary, secondary, high schools and higher education institutions. So, teachers’ training for the use of multimedia technologies is a topical task of teacher education. Based on the analysis of native and foreign works dedicated to the problem of use of computer technologies it has been concluded that in different countries the potential of multimedia technologies has been used since the 1970s and 80s. The experiment on the implementation of multimedia technologies into the educational process was conducted; computer programs, textbooks and methodical recommendations for teachers were developed; main directions of school informatization were outlined; the staff problem was being solved; people’s adaptation to life in an information society was launched. In the 1990s education projects were realized, the need for education informatization was reflected on subject programs; general and specific trends in the development of education informatization in different countries were emphasized.

Published: June 2016

Thermal baths are unique aquatic environments combining a wide variety of natural and anthropogenic ecological factors, which also appear in their microbiological state. There is limited information on the microbiology of thermal baths in their complexity, tracking community shifts from the thermal wells to the pools. In the present study, the natural microbial community of well and pool waters in Gellért bath was studied in detail by cultivation-based techniques. To isolate bacteria, 10% R2A and minimal synthetic media (with “bath water”) with agar–agar and gellan gum were used after prolonged incubation time; moreover, polyurethane blocks covered with media were also applied. Strains were identified by sequencing their 16S rRNA gene after grouping them by amplified rDNA restriction analysis. From each sample, the dominance of Alphaproteobacteria was characteristic though their diversity differed among samples. Members of Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Beta- and Gamma-proteobacteria, Deinococcus–Thermus, and Bacteroidetes were also identified. Representatives of Deinococcus–Thermus phylum appeared only in the pool water. The largest groups in the pool water belonged to the Tistrella and Chelatococcus genera. The most dominant member in the well water was a new taxon, its similarity to Hartmannibacter diazotrophicus as closest relative was 93.93%.
Цивилизационная идентичность России: вызовы и ответы
Authors: Костина Анна Владимировна 
Published: June 2016

<p>Проблема цивилизационной идентичности сегодня является одной из центральных для России, определяющих вектор ее развития, ее конечные цели, а также стратегию и тактику их достижения. Под понятием «цивилизация» автор имеет в виду крупные образования из государств, основанные на духовном сходстве и родстве, на специфических ценностях, особенностях культуротворческой деятельности, развитости материального базиса.</p><p>Новый виток напряженности между западным миром и Россией, обусловленный рядом обстоятельств, прежде всего обострением российско-украинских отношений в связи с воссоединением Крыма с Россией, заставляет по-новому взглянуть и на проблему цивилизационной идентичности. Так называемая война санкций и информационная война, которые ведет западный мир против России, весьма не однозначны по своим результатам. Резкое обострение отношений России, показавшей способность в режиме жесткого давления со стороны США и стран Европы отстаивать свои геополитические интересы, и западного мира проходит в ситуации кризиса самой европейской цивилизации. И если США продолжают применять политику «мягкой силы», направленной на распространение собственной идеологии, то Европа стремится удержать свое цивилизационное равновесие, напрямую зависящее от состояния собственной цивилизационной идентичности.</p><p>Глобализацию как процесс интеграции, обусловленный по преимуществу объективными причинами, невозможно игнорировать — распространение глобализационных тенденций происходит автоматически. Сопровождаются они негативными тенденциями: унификацией культурных миров, разрушением базовых ценностей национальных культур, распространением и утверждение североамериканской массовой культуры как культуры-лидера и пр.</p><p>Автор пытается сформулировать свое понимание двух принципиально важных в рамках тематики работы вопросов: кто мы сегодня и что есть сегодня российская цивилизация. Россия сегодня — великая страна, сохранившая после многочисленных испытаний последних десятилетий свой цивилизационный код. Определение специфики цивилизационной идентичности России позволяет осознавать причины многих социокультурных явлений и процессов современного мирового развития. Однако — что гораздо значимее — определение собственной цивилизационной идентичности и тех оснований, на которых она зиждется, позволяет правильнее оценить наше прошлое как прошлое великой цивилизации и формировать наши представления о будущем, достойном своей истории. </p>
Факторы профессиональной адаптации молодых преподавателей вуза

Published: June 2016

<p>Актуальность исследования обусловлена противоречиями, характерными для сферы высшего образования в целом и Кемеровского государственного университета (г. Кемерово, Россия) в частности, а именно: несоответствием между предъявляемыми требованиями к профессиональной деятельности преподавателя высшей школы, и их реализацией в собственной профессиональной деятельности в конкретных условиях труда; старением преподавательских кадров и отсутствием в вузах системы адаптации молодых преподавателей.</p><p>В статье представлены результаты эмпирического исследования профессиональной адаптации молодых преподавателей Кемеровского государственного университета в возрасте от 22 до 30 лет, проведенного в 2015 г. Анализ кадровой ситуации КемГУ показал, что в организации наблюдается тенденция сокращения профессорско-преподавательского состава, при этом доля молодых преподавателей на сегодняшний день составляет всего лишь 6,4% от общего числа штатных преподавателей. Система адаптации молодых преподавателей и специальная служба, отвечающая за данное направление, в вузе отсутствуют, поэтому адаптивный процесс носит стихийный характер.</p><p>Анкетирование позволило выявить проблемные зоны в деятельности молодых преподавателей КемГУ, а также определить факторы, способствующие созданию благоприятных условий для вхождения в профессиональное русло.</p><p>Основной мотивацией трудоустройства молодых преподавателей в КемГУ являются интерес к педагогической и научной деятельности, стремление достичь определенного социального статуса. Большинство молодых преподавателей удовлетворены отношениями как с коллегами, так и со студентами, участвуют в корпоративных мероприятиях вуза, или проявляют к этому интерес. Уровень своих профессиональных компетенций адаптанты считают либо высоким, либо средним.</p><p>Основные проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются молодые преподаватели КемГУ, — это низкая заработная плата, соответственно недостаточный уровень благосостояния; большой объем бумажной работы; отношение студентов к учебному процессу, низкая мотивация к учебе; большая эмоциональная и психическая нагрузка, загруженность другой работой, нехватка времени, недостаток собственного педагогического опыта; стиль работы администрации образовательного учреждения.</p><p>Обзорный анализ названных факторов приводит к выводу, что на социально-психологическом уровне адаптация молодых преподавателей КемГУ происходит более успешно, чем на профессионально-педагогическом и социально-экономическом. Эти наблюдения дают основание для более детального изучения этой проблемы с целью теоретического обоснования и развития управленческого механизма в создании благоприятных условий для успешной адаптации сотрудников.</p>

Published: June 2016

Os sistemas agroflorestais são preconizados como uma solução alternativa para a recuperação de áreas degradadas. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo implantar e monitorar um protótipo de sistema agroflorestal (SAF) modelo silviagrícola, avaliando o desenvolvimento inicial de três espécies florestais nativas, comparando-o ao modelo de plantio convencional. O modelo estatístico adotado foi o fatorial 2 (tratamentos: plantio convencional de espécies florestais e plantio em sistema agroflorestal) x 3 (espécies: Lonchocarpus muehlbergianus Hassl. - embira-de-sapo, Cytharexyllum myrianthum Cham. - tucaneira, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi - aroeira-pimenteira) com 3 repetições, seguindo o delineamento inteiramente casualizado. A espécie que obteve maior crescimento, tanto no sistema convencional quanto no silviagrícola, foi a C. myrianthum Cham. A espécie L. muehlbergianus Hassl. apresentou o menor crescimento em ambos os tratamentos. A espécie S. terebinthifolius Raddi atingiu maior crescimento no sistema convencional. Foram colhidos 2,17 t ha-1 de feijão e 1 t ha-1de banana. Como não foi observada diferença significativa no crescimento da altura e do diâmetro à altura do solo (DAS) das espécies entre o plantio convencional e silviagrícola, o SAF mostra-se como alternativa para a recomposição de reserva legal no sul de Minas Gerais, possibilitando maior aproveitamento da área a ser recuperada, sendo o uso das entrelinhas para produzir culturas anuais uma alternativa viável.Palavras-chave: Agroecologia.
