Management of Alluvial Forests Included in Natura 2000 91E0* Habitat Type in Maramureş Mountains Nature Park
Authors: Danci Oana 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The Natura 2000 habitat type 91E0* Alluvial forests of Alnus glutinosa and Fraxinus excelsior (Alno-Padion, Alnion incanae, Salicion albae) include three subtypes of forests. In the Maramureș Mountains Nature Park (MMNP) the alluvial forests are represented by Alnus incana forest situated on the banks of mountain rivers. Starting from 2007, 70% of the MMNP is also a Natura 2000 site of community interest. In the standard form for the site are listed 18 Natura 2000 habitat types, but that of alluvial forests 91E0* is not listed either due to an error or lack of available research data. Our study seeks to provide information regarding this high conservation value habitat such as: structure, distribution,managementmeasures andmonitoring protocol. The purpose of this paper is to offer a management tool for this conservation value habitat which is also exposed to human impact more than any other priority habitat in MMNP.

Published: December 2016

En la novela El desfile del amor los creadores y mediadores culturales tratan de alcanzar la consagración acumulando capital cultural. Sin embargo, en la lógica de la acumulación del capital, los mediadores triunfan y los creadores fracasan.Los fracasados persisten en su intento por alcanzar un reconocimiento dentro del campo cultural. En este trabajo se parte de los conceptos de campo cultural y capital cultural de Pierre Bourdieu para revisar esta competencia entre los mediadores culturales y los productores culturales al interior de la novela de Sergio Pitol.Palabras clave: campo cultural, novela mexicana, capital cultural, Sergio Pitol, obra de arte.
COPI–TRAPPII activates Rab18 and regulates its lipid droplet association

Published: December 2016

AbstractThe transport protein particle (TRAPP) was initially identified as a vesicle tethering factor in yeast and as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Ypt1/Rab1. In mammals, structures and functions of various TRAPP complexes are beginning to be understood. We found that mammalian TRAPPII was a GEF for both Rab18 and Rab1. Inactivation of TRAPPII‐specific subunits by various methods including siRNA depletion and CRISPR–Cas9‐mediated deletion reduced lipolysis and resulted in aberrantly large lipid droplets. Recruitment of Rab18 onto lipid droplet (LD) surface was defective in TRAPPII‐deleted cells, but the localization of Rab1 on Golgi was not affected. COPI regulates LD homeostasis. We found that the previously documented interaction between TRAPPII and COPI was also required for the recruitment of Rab18 to the LD. We hypothesize that the interaction between COPI and TRAPPII helps bring TRAPPII onto LD surface, and TRAPPII, in turn, activates Rab18 and recruits it on the LD surface to facilitate its functions in LD homeostasis.
Four-year clinical remission of type 1 diabetes mellitus in two patients treated with sitagliptin and vitamin D3
Authors: Pinheiro Marcelo Maia , Pinheiro Felipe Moura Maia , Torres Margareth Afonso 
Published: December 2016

Summary
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic disease characterized by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and inadequate insulin production. Remission criteria in T1DM take into account serum levels of C-peptide and glycosylated hemoglobin, as well as the dose of insulin administered to the patient. However, remission of T1DM lasting longer than 1 year is rare. We describe here the cases of two young women who presented with positive glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody and classic clinical manifestations of T1DM. Both patients had a prior history of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. They were initially treated with a basal-bolus regimen of insulin (glargine and lispro/glulisine). Once their blood glucose levels were controlled, they were started on oral sitagliptin 100 mg and vitamin D3 5000 IU daily. After this therapy, both patients achieved clinical diabetes remission for 4 years, along with a decrease in anti-GAD antibody levels. These benefits were probably associated with immunological effects of these medications. Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) in animal models deregulates Th1 immune response, increases secretion of Th2 cytokines, activates CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T-cells and prevents IL-17 production. Vitamin D3 also activates CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T-cells, and these medications combined can improve the immune response in patients with new-onset T1DM and probably promote sustained clinical remission.

Learning points:

The use of sitagliptin and vitamin D3 in patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) may help decrease the daily insulin requirement by delaying beta cell loss and improving endogenous insulin production.

The use of sitagliptin and vitamin D3 in new-onset T1DM could help regulate the imbalance between Th17 and Treg cells.

Age 14 years or above, absence of ketoacidosis and positive C-peptide levels in patients with T1DM are good criteria to predict prolonged T1DM remission.

The determination of anti-GAD antibodies and C-peptide levels could be helpful in the follow-up of patients in use of sitagliptin and vitamin D3, which could be associated with prolonged T1DM clinical remission.
A revolta estudantil e a luta pela democratização do sistema educacional chileno
Authors: Betencourt Rafael 
Published: December 2016

Desde 2011 a acção do movimento estudantil chileno vem constantemente atraindo a atenção do mundo e se apresenta actualmente como um importante ator político naquele país. A luta dos estudantes chilenos por uma educação pública e gratuita cresceu reverberando os ecos da Primavera Árabe e dos “indignados” na Europa, evidenciando uma crise do modelo de democracia representativa e indicando novamente as ruas como um forte espaço de política. Qualquer análise sociopolítica de tal movimento é dependente da compreensão do seu papel histórico naquela sociedade. O presente artigo pretende abordar a formação social do movimento dos estudantes chilenos, apresentando a luta contra a herança institucional educacional estabelecida na transição da ditadura de Pinochet para o projeto consensual de uma nova democracia chilena. Dessa forma as demandas políticas dos estudantes chilenos esbarram nos limites de qualquer tipo de transformação radical imposta por um histórico consenso democrático entre direita e esquerda. As ruas ainda seguem sendo alternativa para a crise institucional de representatividade que a sociedade chilena enfrenta desde de sua transição para a democracia.
Search for the Depths of Education in the Treasury of B. Bitinas’ Pedagogical Thought
Authors: Aramavičiūtė Vanda , Martišauskienė Elvyda 
Published: December 2016

Contemporary educational system, which focuses on strengthening of the paradigm of liberal education, encounters problems not only due to rapid changes in political, social, economic and cultural life but also because of the development of educational science itself. Therefore, it is particularly important to penetrate into the treasury of pedagogical thoughts of prominent educational researchers.
B. Bitinas pedagogical thought embraces a big number of components of educational system analysed in the interdisciplinary context. A particular role is assigned to the philosophy of education, which facilitates linking of the essence of human existence with the spiritual dimension as unique power of the human nature that creates prerequisites for self-governance as well as for creation of authentic relations. Such a methodological approach opens up opportunities of theoretical substantiation of the process of education and its practical realisation.
The contribution of Professor to determination of axiological fundamentals of education is of utmost significance: the essence of values, criteria, typology and hierarchy. In the background of the aforesaid questions, the principles of setting educational goals that focus on the authentic choice of holistic or hierarchical value system are highlighted. Therefore the value-based pluralism is identified as the main principle of development of axiological education content.
The contribution of B. Bitinas to the deepening of the structure of the process of education is particularly relevant. The presented structure of educational situation allows to distinguish its components as well as to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the process of education in the specific situation. Educational science is incapable to implement the insight of B. Bitinas into the paradigm of synergetic, which serves as basis for methodology. This is a trend for future research, which is grounded on the Professor’s insights.
Development of Instruments for Grounded Theory Research: Process, Parameters and Results
Authors: Bagdonaitė - Stelmokienė Ramunė , Žydžiūnaitė Vilma 
Published: December 2016

Grounded Theory (hereinafter – GT) is considered one of the most widely used research methodologies in social sciences. Due to different versions of GT, the development of instruments for research still poses particular questions. The article addresses the following research question: what are the process, parameters and outcomes (results) of development of instruments for research under different versions of GT? The aim is to summarize the methodological regularities and the logic of tools’ development within the different versions of GT.
Though the research procedures applied in different versions of GT are slightly different, they share some common aspects: theoretical sampling is usually applied; an interview is employed for data collection (though other additional methods are used as well). GT analysis starts as early as data collection, while the result of GT is a new independent theory describing, explaining and substantiating the phenomenon. The GT is understood as contextual and situational theory rather than universally applied abstract theory.
An interview is the key data collection method across all versions of GT. Despite the particular methodological differences, the main highlight of all versions of GT is the fluctuation (changeability) and the variability of instruments’s content, what means the (possible) change of questions of interviews ir criterions for observations, or document analysis. On the one hand, it expands the researcher’s possibilities; on the other hand, the researcher faces an overload of information which is difficult to cope with.
Possibilities of the Application of Child Behaviour Observation as a Tool of Social Pedagogue Work
Authors: Indrašienė Valdonė , Prakapas Romas 
Published: December 2016

The article reveals the topicality of child behaviour observation in the context of social education. Also, the focus is directed towards the ideas by Prof. Bronislovas Bitinas concerning the possibilities of the development of educational science and practice by relying on diagnostic results of child behaviour and activities. The actual problem is related to the application of observation as a working instrument while implementing social pedagogical activities of child behaviour correction.
The aim of the article is to describe the possibilities of the application of child behavior observation as a tool of social pedagogue correctional activities for children from risk groups. The research was conducted by applying retrospective analysis, research data analysis and synthesis.
The article defines the prerequisites of the development of the behaviour observation instrument devoted to the solution of delinquency prevention problems. The attention is paid to the argument by Prof. B. Bitinas that sporadic educational activities directed to individual work with children from risk groups are not effective. On the contrary, systematic activities including deviant child behaviour observation are necessary.
Behaviour observation is analyzed not only as an instrument but also as a purposeful directed and organized cognitive process which creates the conditions to improve social pedagogical activities with children and the collection of the necessary information.
Generally speaking about the behaviour observation instrument suggested by Prof. B. Bitinas and active participation in the development of the instrument and its application, it should be stressed that it is the first focused attempt to develop a scientifically based working instrument for social pedagogues. The appropriate and consistent application of the behaviour observation instrument in social education provides prerequisites for sensitively diagnosing the behavior and choosing well-timed, purposeful, directive and pedagogically sound behaviour correction strategies. Meaningful application of the behaviour observation instrument in social pedagogue work provides the background for more effective psycho-pedagogical work with children from risk groups.
Links between Study Outcomes and Learning Tools: Theoretical Background
Authors: Žibėnienė Gintautė 
Published: December 2016

The article was prepared on the following conceptual theoretical provisions: Study outcomes is the basic part of a study programme when planning the content of studies, organizing study process, evaluation criteria of students‘ achievements, means and aids (Adam, 2004, 2007, 2008); Study outcome is the main feature of teaching / study programmes; the fundamental element of a teaching / study programme is study outcomes, denoting intended student’s knowledge, abilities and determining substantiation of the remaining elements of the study content (Laužackas, 2008; Pukelis, 2009); Interrelation of quality study process and evaluation of study outcomes with curriculum theory, where study programme is a constantly changing and self-renewing system, with all structural parts directed towards study aims, study outcomes (Kerr, 1967; Laužackas, 2000, 2008; Tyler, 1949; Žibėnienė, 2014); Provisions of European higher education space creation, formulated during Bologna process by ministers of education of participating countries in meetings, documents of European Commission and its authorized institutions (BOLOGNA beyond 2010, Communiqué of the Conference of European Ministers Responsible for Higher Education, Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve, 2009; Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area, 2009); study outcomes interface with taxonomy methodology (Kennedy, Ryan & Hyland, 2009; Aligning with Outcomes Assessment, 2012) and study methods and evaluation methods (Žibėnienė, 2014).
Lithuania applies a study content designing model directed towards study aims and outcomes, dominating in European countries (R. W. Tyler), when a study programme is designed by setting study aims, study outcomes and foreseeing their further division according to the logical base and subject outcomes. Therefore responsibly formulated study outcomes of a study programme is not only a prerequisite for study quality – their formulation shows a clear direction for all participants of the study process in planning and carrying out evaluation of students’ achievements, directed towards evaluation of study outcomes.
