Grammatical aspect and the lexical representation of Polish verbs
Authors: Bloch-Trojnar Maria 
Published: December 2015

AbstractThe aspectual opposition in Polish is encoded morphologically at the verb level. However, it is not immediately evident, whether by word-formation or inflectional means. Aspect marking is obligatory but semantically non-uniform and formally irregular. Traditionally, prefixed formations (e.g. "pisać" 'write, imperf.' – "na-pisać" 'write, perf.') have been regarded as products of word-formation, whereas suffixed forms (e.g. "kup-i•ć" 'buy, perf.' – "kup-owa•ć" 'buy, imperf.') as products of inflection. More recent approaches attempt to tip the scales in favour of a uniform process. The Polish data are analysed in an inferential-realisational Lexeme Morpheme Base Morphology framework. It is argued that the semantic information pertaining to event structure [±dynamic, ±durative, ±Consequent State] can be made available to syntax thanks to the mediation of the features [±Imperfective, ±Perfective] in the morpho-lexical representation of the verbal stem. At the point of lexical insertion, verb stems are already endowed with an abstractly specified value as perfective or imperfective and aspect information is lexically encoded as part of verb class specification. Consequently, the processes which alter aspect values are in the domain of the lexicon too.
Secondary Syphilis in Patients Treated at the City Institute for Skin and Venereal Diseases in Belgrade from 2010 to 2014

Published: December 2015

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics and clinical manifestations of secondary syphilis among patients registered at the City Institute for Skin and Venereal Diseases in Belgrade, during the period from 2010 to 2014. The study was designed as a case-note review. In the five-year period, a total of 62 patients with secondary syphilis were registered. The average patient age was 32 years. There were 45 (72.6%) HIV-negative, and 17 (27.4%) HIV-positive patients. The incidence of HIV–positive patients was significantly different from random distribution (p = 0.016). All HIV-positive patients were unmarried men. A significant percentage of HIV-positive patients were unemployed (p < 0.001), reported unknown source of infection (p = 0.002) and were all homosexuall (p = 0.026). More than 25% of all patients with syphilis had a history of chancres, and it was still present at the time of examination in 11.3% of all patients. The majority of cases (87.1%) had a rash, and lymphadenopathy was found in 20% of patients. However, syphilitic alopecia was detected only in HIV-positive cases (p = 0.004). There were no statistically significant differences between HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients in regard to other clinical manifestations, such as mucous patches and condylomata lata. Being a great imitator, secondary syphilis may manifest in a myriad of diverse morphological entities and clinical manifestations. We review a range of cutaneous manifestations of secondary syphilis and skin diseases it may mimic. Clinicians must be vigilant and consider syphilis in differential diagnosis, and maintain a high index of suspicion, especially when assessing vulnerable populations, such as men who have sex with men and HIV-infected individuals.

Abstract
Yellow nail syndrome is a rare disease of unknown etiology. It is clinically characterized by a triad of yellow nails, lymphedema at one or more sites, and chronic respiratory disease (bronchitis, bronchiectasis and rhinosinusitis). All nails may be affected, but some may be spared. The nail plates are yellowish green, thickened, occasionally with transverse ridging and onycholysis, with increased longitudinal and transversal over-curvature, with partial or complete separation of the nail plate from the nail bed, without lunula and cuticle and slow nail growth rate. The lymphedema is usually peripheral, affecting the lower limbs, or in the form of pleural effusion.
This is a case report of a 47-year-old female patient who presented with nail changes at the age of 40; two years later the patient developed lymphedema of the lower limbs, and a year later a chronic respiratory disease. The affected nails were yellow to yellow-gray, with thickened nail plates separated from the nail bed, ingrown in the perionychium, without lunula. At the same time, additional examinations revealed the following associated conditions: edema of talocrural joints in both legs, chronic obstructive bronchitis, bronchial asthma, chronic rhinitis with bilateral nasal polyposis, labile arterial hypertension. Apart from the management of chronic respiratory disease, oral vitamin E capsules (200 mg 3 times a day) and topical vitamin E solution were administered over 15 months. The nails began to grow, and the newly grown nails were of normal pigmentation.
In conclusion, we present a case of an adult female patient with yellow nail syndrome, and a recognized association of peripheral edema and chronic pulmonary disease. The patient had a typical clinical picture, all the nails were affected, but showed a favorable response to systemic and topical vitamin E therapy.

Abstractargues that D of an external argument in Spec TP is in principle as close to C as T is. Assuming that “inversion depends upon locality independent of category,” T and D should therefore compete with each other as candidates for raising to C in English questions, yet only T so raises. Chomsky takes this to indicate that the external argument is in its base position, Spec, vP, when C is merged. Our paper argues that this approach cannot generalize to account for why only V+v and not D of an external argument can raise to T in V-v-to-T languages. It also has major difficulties accounting for a well-known asymmetry: T raises to C only in English non-subject questions. We conclude that head-movement is sensitive to categorial and other features of lexical items, contra the claims of
Identification Of The Demand Of Welders In The Labour Market Of Lithuania

Published: December 2015

Abstract
The shortage of welding specialists is a long-term problem in the labour market of Lithuania. Ststistical data show the lack of thousands specialists in this field with increasing gap between their supply and demand. It creates concern, because the shortage of skilled welders forces enterprises to refuse many profitable orders. In this article is presented the analysis of the reasons regarding the shortage of welding specialists in the labour market of Lithuania; also here are disclosed the gaps in the identification of the demand of welders and justifying the importance of this identification of demand for effective functioning of labour market. Referring to the results of research there can be stated, that the goal to satisfy the real needs of economy in welding specialists can be achieved by identifying the demand in terms of concrete qualifications of these specialists and in terms of numbers of required specialists. Absence of exact data in these fields creates the situation of uncertainty which does not permit smooth functioning of vocational guidance and vocational education and training of these specialists. As a consequence, it is not possible to ensure adequate reaction of the VET system to the demands of labour market. There are suggested instruments helping to identify the levels of qualifications and competences of welding specialists, to classify them into specialities and specialisations and to define the limits of their qualifications. There is also provided the model for identification of the demand of welding specialists in the national labour market. These measures create favourable preconditions for adequate reaction to the existing shortages of welding specialists and for the satisfaction of corresponding needs in the sectors of economy.

Abstract
Despite the abundance of career education interventions and information on career opportunities, the search for information process is not necessarily performed very thoroughly, and thus persons, choosing a profession, do it in the simplest way, being unable to properly explain their decisions afterwards. In choosing a career, it is crucial to think through potential alternatives and support them by arguments. That is why it is important to discuss the process of reasoning, which evolves coherently and can be characterised by certain elements. The following research question was raised in this study: “How the reasoning of pupils’ on career choice is distinguished at a comprehensive school?” In this case the main accent of the research is focused on the situation of career choice reasoning at Lithuanian gymnasiums. The research aim was to disclose the phenomenon of the reasoning on pupils’ career choice at a comprehensive school. For this article, the data have been collected by methods of literature review and individual semi-structured interviewing. Qualitative content analysis has been performed while processing the information acquired from semi-structured interviews. Findings from literature review showed that the reasoning is assessed as conscious, aim-oriented process of conclusion drawing, by means of which it is pursued to evaluate alternatives, solve problems and make decisions by referring to certain information, facts and features, personal characteristics and beliefs. Reasoning based on stimuli emergence is the aim-oriented process, functions of which are based on information, knowledge and experience. This needs mental abilities, language. Reasoning is related to personal inclination and habits. Empirical findings revealed that the phenomenon of career choice at school is not unanimously understood and does not have clear structure. The character of pupils’ reasoning is closely related to emergence of certain stimuli. The external stimuli that induce the reasoning on one’s career choice, which were mostly emphasized by the informants, allow considering that here the school educational environment plays the important role.
The Structure Of Socio-Cultural Competence (Self) Development
Authors: Anužienė Ieva 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Sociocultural competences are becoming increasingly important and significant in terms of employability, career, competitive abilities. Acquired and developed throughout one’s lifetime, sociocultural competences create favourable conditions for successful survival and functioning in contemporary labour market. Effective teaching of methods of socialization is impossible without making an effort to conceptualize the key elements of culture in younger people’s consciousness: principles of choice of values, basics of creativity, language, ethnos, art. The research aims at revealing the characteristics and orientations of formation of sociocultural competence that are characteristic of the VET processes. The following research methods have been used for the research: descriptive analysis of research sources and documents. Sociocultural competences manifest themselves in the processes of vocational education and training as a set of various abilities necessary for personal and professional life. Formation of sociocultural competences by teaching and learning in VET system is characterized by features based on value dimensions of the life of society and person: social skills (skills of communication, socialization and team work); social perception (skills of societal interpretation by proper choice of behaviour depending on social environment and situation); self-awareness (ability of performing analysis of own emotional state and helping other person perceive oneself and own emotions); attribution (ability to implement own potential in a social environment and analyse social roles); communication with peers (ability to adapt in a new environment by perceiving the attitudes that exist in it); cultural sensitivity (ability to understand and accept people from other sociocultural backgrounds, maintaining strong position when facing discriminatory actions); cultural awareness (ability to evaluate cultural differences and perceive and accept other person’s attitudes and opinion); cultural knowledge (ability to communicate with people diplomatically, taking into account cultural differences).
Local Structure of Cobalt Tungstate Revealed by EXAFS Spectroscopy and Reverse Monte Carlo/Evolutionary Algorithm Simulations
Authors: Timoshenko Janis , Anspoks Andris , Kalinko Aleksandr , Kuzmin Alexei 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
EXAFS spectroscopy is an element-specific method that can provide
perhaps the most extensive information on the local atomic structure
and lattice dynamics for a broad class of materials. Conventional
methods of EXAFS data treatment are often limited to the nearest
coordination shells of the absorbing atom due to the difficulties in
accurate accounting for the large number of correlated structural
parameters that have to be included in the analysis. In this study we
overcome this problem by applying novel simulation-based method:
reverse Monte Carlo simulations, coupled with the evolutionary
algorithm and with a powerful signal processing technique – wavelet
transform. This complex approach was applied to the analysis of the
W L3-edge and Co K-edge EXAFS spectra of
crystalline CoWO4, which exists in antiferromagnetic state
below 55 K. Temperature dependence of the local environment
up to 4.3 Å around both metal ions was
reconstructed in the range from 10 K to 300 K,
and the rigidity of the tungstate structure due to zigzag chains of
WO6 and CoO6 octahedra was analyzed.
Factores asociados a la mortalidad en la población mexicana con SIDA en contraste con otras poblaciones humanas. Revisión sistemática y meta-análisis
Authors: Pertuz-Belloso Silvana Beatriz 
Published: December 2015

<p>El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar los factores que pueden estar asociados a la mortalidad de los pacientes con SIDA en un estudio meta-analítico del 2010-2014, revisando la literatura existente sobre SIDA y las causas de mortalidad en la base de datos del NCBI. Los datos integrados en una matriz fueron procesados estadísticamente siguiendo los estándares del meta-análisis en el programa Open-Epi versión 3.03. Los resultados muestran que las enfermedades secundarias, tales como tuberculosis (tasa: 0.1), toxoplasmosis (tasa: 1), y Síndrome de Kaposi (tasa: 1), siguen ocupando un lugar importante entre los factores de mortalidad de la población con SIDA a nivel global. No obstante, los datos muestran también que el mayor problema que presenta la población con SIDA es la creciente resistencia a los antirretrovirales (tasa: 10). Un bajo impacto tienen los polimorfismos de los receptores que intervienen en la respuesta inmunológica en la mortalidad de las poblaciones con SIDA (tasa: 0.01). En México, la tasa de mortalidad de esta población es alta (tasa: 4.5), y muy similar a otros países de Latinoamérica (tasa: 3.5). Entre los determinantes de estas tasas de mortalidad en la población mexicana con SIDA podrían estar la baja restauración inmunológica y la mala respuesta a los antirretrovirales. <strong></strong></p>

El siguiente artículo es la continuación del proyecto investigativo “análisis de los retornos de la educación de los técnicos, tecnólogos egresados de las ciencias económicas desde la perspectiva del capital humano entre el periodo 2001-2012 como de la emulación de una tesis de grado de Maestría en la cual su objetivo general fue analizar la situación laboral de los docentes colombianos (Gómez y Barbosa, 2014). A diferencia con este pero siguiendo el mismo marco teórico, el siguiente artículo pretende identificar la retornos a la educación de los egresados de la contabilidad en Colombia desde los postulados de la teoría del capital humano en los periodos 2009-2012. Para ello se utilizaron ecuaciones Mincerianas del ingreso, se corrigió el sesgo de selección por el método propuesto por Heckman (1979), con datos de la Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares para las 12 profesiones escogidas. La principal conclusión es que los egresados de contabilidad en el periodo estudiado evidencian retornos a la educación por debajo de la gran mayoría de las profesiones.

Se evaluó la remoción de nutrientes en un efluente cárnico utilizando un reactor por carga secuencial (SBR) a escala laboratorio. La investigación se llevó a cabo empleando aguas residuales de un matadero de reses ubicado en el Estado Zulia, Venezuela. El experimento se realizó en un reactor por carga secuencial con un volumen útil de 2 L. El reactor fue operado bajo una secuencia operacional anaeróbica/aeróbica/anóxica, un tiempo de retención celular de 25 días y dos tiempos de retención hidráulica (11 y 15 h), generando dos tratamientos T1 y T2, respectivamente. Los parámetros medidos al inicio, durante y al final de cada ciclo evaluado fueron demanda química de oxígeno total (DQO<sub>T</sub>), nitrógeno total Kjeldahl (NTK), nitrógeno amoniacal (N-NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>), nitritos (N-NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>), nitratos (N-NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>), pH, alcalinidad total y fósforo total (PT). Los resultados de las remociones de las variables se compararon mediante un análisis de varianza y separación de medias a través de la prueba de Tukey, utilizando el programa estadístico Statistix 9.0. Las aguas residuales provenientes de la matanza de reses presentaron gran variabilidad en sus características fisicoquímicas, viéndose reflejado en los altos valores de desviación estándar que se obtuvieron. Los dos tratamientos aplicados al efluente industrial del matadero de reses en el reactor por carga secuencial permitieron la remoción simultánea de nutrientes y materia orgánica, debido a la flexibilidad del reactor para adaptarse a distintas condiciones de operación, obteniendo remociones superiores al 95 % para la DQO<sub>T</sub>, 69 % para el NT y 29 % para el PT.<p><strong> </strong></p>

Published: December 2015

<p>La introducción de residuos industriales como sustitutos del cemento en bloques ecológicos de construcción, brindan la posibilidad de establecer un amplio desarrollo a nivel ambiental, social y económico. En la presente investigación se fabricaron bloques ecológicos con dimensiones comerciales a nivel industrial, en los que se reemplazó un porcentaje del contenido cemento por cascarilla de arroz, ceniza de la cascarilla de arroz y ceniza volante (caracterizadas mediante ensayos de granulometría, masa unitaria y humedad), en 10, 15 y 20 %, manteniendo constante la cantidad de agua y arena de mezclado del bloque. Los bloques ecológicos obtenidos se analizaron mecánicamente, y se determinó la resistencia a compresión, obteniendo como resultados promedio 0.585 MPa, 0,743 MPa y 0,956 MPa para cascarilla de arroz, ceniza de la cascarilla de arroz y ceniza volante, respectivamente, a los 7, 28 y 45 días de curado; dichas resistencias se compararon con la del patrón, que consistían en el bloque de referencia con 100 % de cemento, las cuales fueron de 0.802 MPa, para observar las características cementantes de las adiciones, las cuales afectan considerablemente la resistencia del eco-bloque. Mediante los resultados obtenidos, se concluyó que el porcentaje óptimo de adición es el 15 % de ceniza de centrales térmicas a los 28 días de curado, como reemplazo parcial del cemento en bloques de concreto, resaltando que aunque existe una disminución en la resistencia a la compresión y tensión en algunos casos, es viable el uso de las adiciones para la elaboración de bloques de concreto como propuesta efectiva para la reutilización de estos residuos que sirven de guía hacia el desarrollo de materiales más competitivos técnica, económica y ambientalmente. </p>

<p class="Abstract">En este artículo se propone un modelo para cuantificar el grado de afinidad entre los individuos de un grupo humano. Para obtener el grado de afinidad se considera un conjunto de factores y de reglas (para cada factor) definidos por el analista. El modelo se puede aplicar prácticamente a cualquier grupo humano: estudiantes, trabajadores, miembros de una red social, etc. Para validar y mostrar la utilidad del modelo, se analizaron dos grupos de estudiantes de cursos universitarios. Los datos de los estudiantes, correspondientes a los factores definidos para los experimentos, se recopilaron mediante una encuesta que fue diseñada para tal efecto. Aunque se requieren experimentos más exhaustivos, los resultados evidenciaron posibles patrones; e.g., los grupos de estudiantes con mayor grado de afinidad fueron los de mayor calificación promedio grupal. También se observó que existen ciertos individuos que tienden a ser miembros de los grupos más afines y otros que tienden a ser miembros de los grupos menos afines.</p><p class="Abstract"> </p>
