Authors: Kuchtová Veronika , Karovičová Jolana , Kohajdová Zlatica , Minarovičová Lucia 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Pumpkin pomace obtained from cultivar (Cucurbita moschata Duch) was analyzed for their chemical composition and functional properties. Pumpkin pomace powder contained more than 50 mass % of total dietary fibre and showed high hydration properties such as water holding capacity (5.70 g · g−1) and swelling capacity (10.26 cm3 · g−1). The effect of pumpkin pomace incorporation to wheat dough by replacement of wheat flour with pumpkin pomace (5 or 7.5 %) on physical properties (volume, volume index, width, thickness, spread ratio) and sensory parameters (appearance, hardness, taste, odor, overall acceptability) of cracker were evaluated. The results indicated that the addition of higher amount (7.5 % mass) of pumpkin pomace powder negatively affected the volume, volume index, spread ratio and reduced their overall acceptance. Pumpkin pomace is a good source of ash and dietary fibres and may be incorporated into baked goods as a functional ingredient.

Enhancing Conflict Resolution Mechanism for Automatic Model Composition
Authors: Marzouki Nisrine El , Ņikiforova Oksana , Lakhrissi Younes , Mohajir Mohammed El 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Despite the fact that model composition paradigm becomes very important and most commonly used, the support for their cooperation has not reached its full strength, especially in managing composition conflicts, because it’s often divided between and confused with other model composition features. This makes handling and dealing with these conflicts a crucial activity in the composition process. Models need to be put under version control in order to manage the probable conflicts, facilitate collaboration and control change. Therefore, a solution for detecting and resolving conflicts is needed. In this paper, we present a composition conflict resolver presented in the form of a repository that helps manage composition conflicts and analyse the model and operations performed on it.
Optimal Pixel-to-Shift Standard Deviation Ratio for Training 2-Layer Perceptron on Shifted 60 × 80 Images with Pixel Distortion in Classifying Shifting-Distorted Objects
Authors: Romanuke Vadim V. 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
An optimization problem of classifying shifting-distorted objects is studied. The classifier is 2-layer perceptron, and the object model is monochrome 60 × 80 image. Based on the fact that previously the perceptron has successfully been attempted to classify shifted objects with a pixel-to-shift standard deviation ratio for training, the ratio is optimized. The optimization criterion is minimization of classification error percentage. A classifier trained under the found optimal ratio is optimized additionally. Then it effectively classifies shifting-distorted images, erring only in one case from eight takings at the maximal shift distortion. On average, classification error percentage appears less than 2.5 %. Thus, the optimized 2-layer perceptron outruns much slower neocognitron. And the found optimal ratio shall be nearly the same for other object classification problems, when the number of object features varies about 4800, and the number of classes is between two and three tens.
Trade Liberalization within Intra-BRICS and the Rule of Law
Authors: Ngatat Elvis Tankwa 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The main aim of this research is to seek the potential for Trade liberalization between Intra-BRICS and the impact on the Rule of Law, searching for issues that are hampering or would hamper the BRICS collaboration and economic growth. If any political and legal systems or organization that implements Loyalty to the interests of the rule of law would contribute tremendously to the progress of regional or community economic growth, lack of the rule of law can seriously hinder the idea of Trade liberalization and intra-regional or intra-community trade. I am arguing that even if trade barriers are removed from trade collaboration, and if there is no loyalty to the rule of law there will still be barriers that will hinder trade liberalization. For example, if the country is very corrupt the corrupt officials could delay goods entering the country by making unnecessary excuses so that bribe could be given thereby creating uncomfortable and unfair situations and thereby stimulating difficulties for businesses not to flow freely as it was previously anticipated. The important goal of the BRICS treaty is to stimulate sustainable economic growth of the BRICS countries. I examine the contribution to the BRICS countries integration to economic growth of the countries using subservient variables GMM regression in the framework of a growth model. I found great substantial empirical affirmation for a positive economic cooperation and growth. The results of some variables showed negative impact because of the distance that exist on members of the BRICS countries which hinders perfect cooperation and economic benefits but there were positive impacts on economic cooperation.
Constitutive Modelling of Damage Evolution and Martensitic Transformation in 316L Stainless Steel
Authors: Ryś Maciej 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
In this work, the constitutive model, derived with the use of thermodynamic of irreversible processes framework is presented. The model is derived under the assumption of small strains. Plastic strain induced martensitic phase transformation is considered in the austenitic matrix where the volume fraction of the martensite is reflected by a scalar parameter. The austenitic matrix is assumed as the elastic-plastic material and martensitic phase is assumed as randomly distributed and randomly oriented inclusions. Both phases are affected by damage evolution but there is no distinction in the model between damage in austenite and martensite.
Metabolic Attributes, Milk Production and Ovarian Activity of Ewes Supplemented with a Soluble Sugar or a Protected-Fat as Different Energy Sources During Postpartum Period
Authors: Hashem Nesrein M. , El-Zarkouny Samir Z. 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The effects of two dietary supplemental energy sources on metabolic attributes, milk production and ovarian activity of ewes during early to mid-postpartum period were studied using thirty multiparous lactating ewes (Rahmani × Barki) weighing 43.10±1.22 kg and 3-6 years old. The ewes were assigned to three groups (n=10 per group). All ewes received the same diet supplemented with isocaloric and isonitrogenous protected-palm oil (50 g/ewe/d, F-group) or a sugar cane molasses (140 g/ewe/d, M-group) or without supplementation (control, C-group), for 60 days starting 2 weeks postpartum. Results showed that, during the experimental period, both energy sources reduced (P<0.05) body weight loss of ewes compared with the control (2.57 kg in F-group, 0.911 kg in M-group and 4.71 kg in C-group). The metabolic profiles of ewes were affected by the sources of energy, the highest (P<0.05) concentration of serum triglycerides was in the F-group, whereas the highest (P<0.05) concentration of serum insulin was in the M-group. The lowest serum glucose concentration was (P<0.05) in the F-group (73.20 mg/dL) and the highest in the C-group (76.85 mg/dL), whereas it was intermediate in the M-group (74.69 mg/dL). Ewes in the F-group had (P<0.05) the highest milk yield and energy-corrected milk (531.72 g/d and 554.40 g/d, respectively) compared with those in the M-group (491.76 g/d and 525.12 g/d, respectively) and C-group (429.96 g/d and 462.00 g/d, respectively). The highest (P<0.05) number of corpora lutea (CL; ovulation activity) was in the F-group (0.45), whereas it was not different between the M-group (0.25) and the C-group (0.15). In conclusion, during early to mid-postpartum period, protected-fat supplementation increased serum triglycerides concentration which was effectively used as an energyyielding nutrient for improving milk production. It could also be suggested that specific fatty acid in protected-fat improved quality of the ovulatory follicle and thus occurrence of ovulation.

Copper and manganese acquisition in maize (Zea mays L) under different P and K fertilization
Authors: Gaj Renata , Bąk Krzysztof , Budka Anna 
Published: June 2016

Summary
The paper demonstrates the influence of different mineral fertilization with phosphorus and potassium on the concentration of copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) in the ear leaf of maize at the stage of flowering (BBCH 65) as well as the contents and accumulation of the nutrients studied in maize when fully ripe (BBCH 89). A single factor experiment was carried out in 5-year-cycle (2007-2011), in the randomized complete block design. The experiment was conducted as a part of a long-term stationary trial. The investigation comprised 8 different P and K treatments: the absolute control, exclusive of one of the main nutrients (P - WPN or K - WKN), reduced amount of phosphorus and potassium (to 25% - W25 and to 50% WP50, WK50) as well as recommended amounts of basic nutrients (NPKMg - W100 and NP*KMg, P* - P* as PAPR - W100 PAPR). Evaluation of the nutriational status, performed in the ear leaf of maize at flowering stage, showed that regardless of fertilization treatment applied, the concentration of copper was lower than normative values, whereas that of manganese ranged within the optimal scope. At the same time, there was found a significant relationship between the grain yield obtained and acquisition of both copper and manganese by maize at flowering stage (stronger for manganese, r = 0.614). The total accumulation of copper and manganese in fully ripe maize was significantly differentiated as a result of mineral fertilization. The total uptake of Cu and Mn was reduced under the conditions of 10-year lack of P fertilization. Uptake reduction was considerably more advanced when K fertilization was absent for 10 years. Regardless of the experimental factor effects, more than 50% of the total copper uptake was accumulated in grain, whereas the majority of manganese was accumulated in maize leaves (50-64% of the total uptake). Correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between maize grain yield and the total accumulation of copper, whereas that of manganese was observed only in 3 of 8 treatments tested (WPN, WP50 and W100 as PAPR).
The dependence of DUS (distinctness, uniformity and stability) decisions concerning white mustard and oilseed rape varieties on the number of measurements
Authors: Pilarczyk Wiesław , Kowalczyk Bogna , Zawieja Bogna 
Published: June 2016

Summary
An analysis is made of the possibility of reducing numbers of measurements in DUS (distinctness, uniformity and stability) trials on varieties of white mustard and oilseed rape, based on the results of DUS trials performed in the years 2005–2009 by the Research Centre for Cultivar Testing. It is shown that, when decisions are taken after three years of testing, it is possible to decrease the number of measurements by 50%, with the decisions practically unchanged for both considered species. For so-called early decisions (after two years of testing) the distinctness decisions are again practically the same for full and reduced data, although the decisions concerning uniformity differ significantly. This means that the number of measurements can be reduced only in cases where DUS testing is continued for three years.
High homocysteine and low folate plasma concentrations are associated with cardiovascular events but not bleeding during warfarin treatment
Authors: Lind Marcus , Jansson Jan-Håkan , Nilsson Torbjörn K. , Johansson Lars 
Published: June 2016

Abstract

Background:
Previous studies have shown that homocysteine and folate levels in plasma are associated with risk for cardiovascular events and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate if plasma concentrations of total homocysteine and folate can predict major bleeding, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality in patients being treated with warfarin.

Methods:
In a longitudinal cohort study, 719 patients who were taking warfarin were followed for 3001 treatment years. The following were recorded and classified: major bleeding; cardiovascular events including stroke, arterial emboli, and myocardial infarction (MI); and mortality. Blood samples collected at baseline were analysed for plasma homocysteine and folate levels.

Results:
After adjustment for age, C-reactive protein, and creatinine, high homocysteine levels were associated with cardiovascular events [hazard ratio (HR) 1.23 per standard deviation (SD); 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.03–1.47], MI (HR 1.38 per SD; 95% CI: 1.03–1.85), and all-cause mortality (HR 1.41 per SD; 95% CI: 1.19–1.68). The highest tertile of folate compared to the lowest tertile was associated with decreased risk for both cardiovascular events (HR 0.64; 95% CI: 0.43–0.91) and MI (HR 0.45; 95% CI: 0.21–0.97). There was no association between major bleeding and homocysteine or folate levels.

Conclusions:
In patients receiving warfarin treatment, high homocysteine and low folate plasma concentrations are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events but not major bleeding. For homocysteine levels, there is also an association with all-cause mortality.
Robust Numerical Upscaling of Elliptic Multiscale Problems at High Contrast

Abstract
We present a new approach to the numerical upscaling for elliptic problems with rough diffusion coefficient at high contrast. It is based on the localizable orthogonal decomposition of

H

${H^{1}}$

into the image and the kernel of some novel stable quasi-interpolation operators with local

L

$L^{2}$

-approximation properties, independent of the contrast. We identify a set of sufficient assumptions on these quasi-interpolation operators that guarantee in principle optimal convergence without pre-asymptotic effects for high-contrast coefficients. We then give an example of a suitable operator and establish the assumptions for a particular class of high-contrast coefficients. So far this is not possible without any pre-asymptotic effects, but the optimal convergence is independent of the contrast and the asymptotic range is largely improved over other discretization schemes. The new framework is sufficiently flexible to allow also for other choices of quasi-interpolation operators and the potential for fully robust numerical upscaling at high contrast.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of psychoactive substances use as well as the characteristics of body image, self-image, narcissism and stress coping strategies in the group of male professional bodybuilders.
Material and method. The study comprised a group 30 male bodybuilders practising bodybuilding professionally for over 7 years and 30 men who did not practise any sport.
The following research methods were used in the study: Socio-demographic Questionnaire and Eating Disorders and Self-image Survey Questionnaire in Men designed by Pawłowska and Staniewicz, Coping with Stress Questionnaire by Janke, Erdmann, Boucsein, Narcissism Questionnaire by Deneke, Hilgenstock, Müller, Adjective Check List by Gough and Heilbrun in the authorised translation by Płużek.
Results. As compared to the control group, bodybuilders significantly more often use psychoactive agents and have a more negative body image and self-image and show intensified narcissism.
Conclusions: In comparison to the control group:

Significantly more bodybuilders use psychoactive agents: marijuana, amphetamine and ephedrine.

Bodybuilders are characterised by a significantly more negative body image related to the impression of having excessive fat tissue and not sufficient muscle tissue and intensified pursuing to obtain social acceptance.

Bodybuilders are characterised by a significantly more intensified need for dominance, aggression, competitiveness, breaking social rules, being rebellious, impulsive and confrontational.

Bodybuilders are characterised by significantly more intensified narcissistic traits.

Bodybuilders, while in a stressful situation, express compensatory conviction of having better than other people skills to cope with difficulties.
The case of inorganic hypersomnia treated with light therapy in the course of schizoaffective disorder
Authors: Masiak Jolanta , Masiak Elżbieta , Ziniuk Katarzyna 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
According to ICD 10, nonorganic hypersomnia is defined as “a condition of either excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep attacks (not accounted for by an inadequate amount of sleep) or prolonged transition to the fully aroused state upon awakening. When no definite evidence of organic etiology can be found, this condition is usually associated with mental disorders”. The severe hypersomnia in the course of schizoaffective disorder is rather a rare phenomenon. The paper presents the case of 41-year-old female patient with severe hypersomnia during the course of the schizoaffective disorder. The course of hypersomnia was severe. The patient slept constantly day and night and was awoken by her family for about three-hour period of time. The duration of hypersomnia was about one year until the onset of treatment. The patient was successfully treated with light therapy that caused gradual resolution of the symptoms of hypersomnia. The patient is also treated as prior to the onset of hypersomnia with antipsychotics and the mood stabilizers for schizoaffective disorder. Since that time there were six-year-period of follow up when the patient was free of any symptoms of hypersomnia.
Extraordinary system of delusions and the social functioning - a case study
Authors: Skoczeń Nikodem , Masternak Sebastian , Olajossy Marcin 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Schizophrenic psychoses are a heterogeneous group of diseases that affect about 1% of the world’s population. The first symptoms of the disease usually manifest between ages 20 and 30. The diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and its subtypes are characterized in detail in ICD-10. Diagnosis is based primarily on the presence of productive symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations occurring for at least one month which cannot be explained in another way. Schizophrenia is a disease which largely affects social functioning of patients, such as occupational performance, family life, interpersonal relationships or housing situation. Apart from the sociological aspect, social lives of schizophrenia sufferers are significantly impoverished due to cognitive impairment associated with improper functioning of NMDA receptors. The study describes a case of a patient suffering from paranoid schizophrenia which sheds light on the social functioning of this group of patients.
