Authors: Kornaus Kamil , Gubernat Agnieszka , Zientara Dariusz , Rutkowski Paweł , Stobierski Ludosław 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Previous studies concerning pure tungsten carbide polycrystalline materials revealed that nanolayers of graphite located between WC grains improve its thermal properties. What is more, pressure-induced orientation of graphene nano platelets (GNP) in hot pressed silicon nitride-graphene composites results in anisotropy of thermal conductivity. Aim of this study was to investigate if addition of GNP to WC will improve its thermal properties. For this purpose, tungsten carbide with 0.5–6 wt.% of GNP(12)-additive underwent hot pressing. The microstructure observations performed by SEM microscopy. The anisotropy was determined via ultrasonic measurements. The following mechanical properties were evaluated: Vickers hardness, bending strength, fracture toughness KIc. The influence of GNP(12) addition on oxidation resistance and thermal conductivity was examined. It was possible to manufacture hot-pressed WC-graphene composites with oriented GNP(12) particles, however, the addition of graphene decreased both thermal and mechanical properties of the material.
The Religious Carol in Transylvania –Function and Symbol
Authors: Streza Dan Alexandru 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
In the context of Romanian folkloric tradition, the carol represents one of the oldest cultural elements. The first part of this article defines the genre and functions of the Romanian carol, and explains that its basic function is the conveyance of wishes, referring to all aspects of the social and personal life of the recipient. As far as the nature of the carol is concerned, the second part of the article reveals some characteristics of the sense and symbol of the religious carol, concluding that carols are part of those traditional texts and melodies that can be called Eucharistic chants. Their preservation and practice in different areas of the country highlight their worth, as they essentially represent liturgical echoes arising from the ethnogenesis of the Romanian nation.
Morphological and Morphometrical Analyses Reveal the Avalanche Influence over the Talus Cones in the Rybi Potok Valley, Tatra Mountains
Authors: Lempa Michał , Kaczka Ryszard J. , Rączkowska Zofia 
Published: June 2016

AbstractIntense physical weathering engenders formation of scree cones at the foot of slopes dissected by couloirs. Combination of several geomorphic processes operating within the slope results in formation of cones of a polygenetic character (talus-alluvial cones, rockfall talus cones, or – in particular cases, talus-alluvial-avalanche cones). This study was aimed at determination of morphometric parameters characteristic for particular morphogenetic types of the cones in the Rybi Potok Valley in the High Tatra Mountains. For the purpose of the research, knowledge about the terrain and available cartographic materials (geological, geomorphological and topographical maps, LiDAR data) were employed. In the studied valley, 24 cones were selected and for each of them, morphogenetic types and morphometric parameters (surface, minimal and maximal height, roughness coefficient, Topographic Position Index) were determined. The correlations between different parameters enabled establishment and determination of the combination of morphometric parameters typical for the particular types of the cones. The impact of snow avalanches on one of the cones (at the mouth of Żleb Żandarmerii) was identified. This cone has morphometric parameters dissimilar to those of the other cones in the studied valley. It is the only cone in the valley which was classified as the avalanche cone.

Evaluation der mittels Chemilumineszenztest gemessenen Blut-Progesteronkonzentration bei der Hündin am Tag der Ovulation
Authors: Urhausen Carola , Wolf Karola , Schmidt Susanne , Günzel-Apel Anne-Rose , Schmicke Marion 
Published: June 2016

ZusammenfassungGegenstand und Ziel: Durch den Hersteller vorgenommene Änderungen von Testsystemen, die in der Veterinärmedizin zur Bestimmung von Hormonkonzentrationen eingesetzt werden, können eine Anpassung von Referenzbereichen notwendig machen. Material und Methode: Es erfolgten Vergleichsmessungen mit einem ursprünglich verwendeten und 2012 veränderten Chemilumineszenz-Testsystem zur Progesteronmessung. Zudem wurden interne und externe Qualitätskontrollen vor dem Hintergrund der Änderung des Tests ausgewertet. Ferner wurde mit dem veränderten Testsystem die Progesteronkonzentration bei Hündinnen zum Zeitpunkt der sonographisch verifizierten Ovulation gemessen, um die Referenzwerte bezüglich ihrer Eignung für die Ovulationsbestimmung zu überprüfen. Ergebnisse: In einem Konzentrationsbereich von 0–6 ng/ml ergab die Messung mit der veränderten Testcharge deutlich niedrigere Progesteronkonzentrationen als der ursprünglich gelieferte Test. Nationale und internationale Kontrollen zeigten aber, dass die mit dem abgeänderten Test verfahren gemessenen Progesteronwerte laborübergreifend eine gute Vergleichbarkeit aufweisen. Die mittlere Progesteronkonzentration zum Zeitpunkt der sonographisch detektierten Ovulation betrug 3,4 ± 0,9 ng/ml (2,0–4,5 ng/ml, n = 7 Hündinnen). Schlussfolgerung: Der als Indikator für den Ovulationszeitpunkt und zur Festlegung des Decktermins vormals weit verbreitete Progesteronbereich von 5–8 ng/ml musste auf ∼ 3,5 ng/ml angeglichen werden. Dieser Fall zeigt, dass regelmäßige Referenzwertevaluationen gerade in der veterinärmedizinischen Endokrinologie unumgänglich sind und zur guten Laborpraxis gehören. Der hier vorgestellte Referenzwert ist laborspezifisch und sollte in anderen Laboren, die mit demselben Testsystem arbeiten, vor der Verwendung validiert werden. Klinische Relevanz: Die Grenzwerte zur Beurteilung des Ovulationszeitpunkts der Hündin sollten vom Labor zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Von einer Beurteilung der Werte im Vergleich zu Literaturdaten wird dringend abgeraten.
Strengthening Locus Standi in Human Rights Litigation in Zimbabwe: An analysis of the Provisions in the New Zimbabwean Constitution
Authors: Chiduza Lovemore , Makiwane Paterson Nkosemntu 
Published: June 2016

Zimbabweans have been both victims of and witnesses to serious human rights violations over the years.Though there is wide agreement and speculation that the state and its agencies are the perpetrators of these atrocities, they have largely remained unprosecuted and unpunished.Such impunity is inter alia the result of ineffective law enforcement mechanismsand institutions as well as the lack of capacity and legal knowledge of victims to approach the courts and seek redress. These factors negatively affected the protection of human rights and access to justice in Zimbabwe.
Although the Lancaster House Constitution contained a Declaration of Rights, its enforcement mechanisms, particularly those relating to locus standi (legal standing), posed a great challenge to human rights litigation in Zimbabwe. This is so because the Lancaster House Constitution adopted the traditional common law approach to standing. Under this approach it was required that an individual must have a "personal, direct or substantial interest" in a matter in order to have standing. The Lancaster House Constitution failed to recognise the importance of broader rules of standing, which would accommodate public interest litigation, specifically for the purpose of protecting human rights. Contrary to this, the new Constitution of Zimbabwe (2013) broadens the rules of standing in order to enhance access to the courts. This paper analyses the new approach to standing under the new constitutional dispensation in Zimbabwe.
To this end, the discussion commences with an elucidation of the concept of locus standi and its link to access to justice. This is followed by an analysis of locus standi under the Lancaster House Constitution. Since the new approach in Zimbabwe is greatly informed by the South African approach to locus standi, a brief analysis of standing in South Africa is made. The paper concludes with a discussion of the approach to locus standi under the new constitution with a view to demonstrating how the new approach is likely to impact on the right of access to justice and human rights protection.
Trato y maltrato: una mirada psicoanalítica
Authors: Estada María Cruz 
Published: June 2016

<p>Veremos las razones por las que tratamientos con maltratadas fracasan. Repasaremos con Freud el devenir mujer: el desamparo radical del ser humano —la <em>Hilflosighkeit </em>freudiana— tiene connotaciones de cataclismo para las mujeres, y con él se confrontan frecuentemente. El punto en común de maltratadores y profesionales de salud mental: el horror a la diferencia, que dará como consecuencia graves interferencias en su escucha. La dificultad para separarse del maltratador, perdiendo a veces la vida, apunta, paradójicamente, al temor de ver amenazada su existencia como sujeto. El sufrimiento: intento de elaboración de la falta en ser mediante la falta en tener.</p><p>We are going to see the reasons why some treatments with battered women fail. We are going to revise with Freud to become woman: the radical helplessness of the human being —the Freudian <em>Hilflosighkeit</em>— has connotations of cataclysm for women, and with it they confront frequently. The common point of batterers and mental health professionals: the horror to difference, that will give as a consequence severe interferences in her listening. The difficulty to split up with the batterer, loosing sometimes your life, points out, paradoxically, the fear to see her existence threaten as a subject. The suffering: trial of elaboration of the lack of being through the lack of having.</p><strong>Key Words</strong>: , victim
Mujeres en movimiento: bajo la Dictadura militar chilena (1973-1990)

<p>Desde la perspectiva histórica feminista, el artículo analiza el impacto que la represiónde la dictadura militar del general Augusto Pinochet Ugarte (1973-1990) causó en las mujeres que conformaron la oposición política. La Tortura Sexual se definió como una estrategia dirigida y pensada contra las prisioneras en los diversos campos de concentración que se extendían a lo largo de Chile. Este hecho, invisibilizado durante años por los diversos estudios entorno a los Derechos Humanos, se reconoció de forma oficial cuando en 2004 se publicó el Informe de la Comisión Nacional sobre Prisión Política y Tortura (<em>Informe</em><em> Valech</em>), un documento pionero que recogía 4000 testimonios de mujeres supervivientes.</p><p>From the feminist historical perspective, the article analyses the impact of the Pinochet dictatorship repression (1970-1990) against women from the political opposition.

<p>El artículo analiza las coincidencias y divergencias existentes en los cambios institucionales que los ayuntamientos catalanes y lombardos han realizado para facilitar la introducción de la perspectiva de género. Para estudiar estos cambios se han analizado tres ámbitos: el proceso político, los mecanismos políticos y los actores que intervienen en el diseño de las políticas. Los resultados se han obtenido del estudio en profundidad de seis ayuntamientos de cada territorio que ya están realizando políticas de género. Las conclusiones obtenidas constatan la presencia de cambios y demuestran cómo las estrategias seguidas son distintas en ambos casos, aunque se comparta la filosofía existente detrás de las políticas de género.</p><p>This article analyses the institutional changes to assess the progress of gender</p><p>mainstreaming in Catalonia and Lombardia.

The comparative analysis of gender equality policies in six Catalan and Italian cities indicated that the development of gender mainstreaming makes changes in the local governments These changes are different in the two regions but they used the same concept of gender mainstreaming.<br /><br /></p>
Recurrent verrucous carcinoma of the foot: A case report
Authors: Pandiaraja Jayabal , Uthayam Selvaraju 
Published: June 2016

<p>Verrucous carcinoma is an uncommon, locally invasive and slow growing squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and mucous membrane. The proposed causative agent for verrucous carcinoma is human papillomavirus (HPV). It has low metastatic potential compared to squamous cell carcinoma. This is a report of a 75-year-old male admitted with history of growth over the forefoot. Histopathological examinations confirmed verrucous carcinoma and the patient underwent forefoot amputation with 2 cm clear surgical margin. During the 4th month of follow-up, the patient developed a lesion at the post-operative site which was proven as a recurrence. Even though it carried low metastatic potential, it needed repeated resection or amputation because of high local recurrence.</p><p> </p>

An Exploration of the Views and Experiences of Midwives Using Intermittent Auscultation of the Fetal Heart in Labor
Authors: Hill Karen 
Published: June 2016

OBJECTIVES: To identify the experiences of midwives using intermittent auscultation of the fetal heart rate in labor.DESIGN: A qualitative descriptive study with a sample of 8 midwives, 3 from a DOMINO scheme and 5 from the labor ward at an Irish urban maternity unit. Data collection was through tape-recorded semistructured interviews. Data analysis involved transcription of the interviews verbatim and thematic analysis.FINDINGS: Three core themes were identified: vulnerability, the culture of the organization, and walking the tightrope. The findings suggest that the main challenges which inhibit midwives using intermittent auscultation is the lack of professional guidelines, inconsistency in documentation, and working in a biomedical model of care. The participants also identified that midwives practicing in a midwifery social model of care have more confidence and use midwifery skills to support the use of intermittent auscultation.CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest working within a midwifery social model of care facilitates the use of intermittent auscultation. Guidelines and education on the explicit use of intermittent auscultation need to be made accessible to midwives. Midwives believed that women could promote the use of intermittent auscultation through their own education on monitoring fetal heart rate options in labor.
ГЛАГОЛИ КРЕТАЊА ПОМОЋУ ПРЕВОЗНОГ СРЕДСТВА: ИЗМЕЂУ ЛЕКСИКОЛОШКЕ ТЕОРИЈЕ И ЛЕКСИКОГРАФСКЕ ПРАКСЕ
Authors: Халас Ана 
Published: June 2016

У раду се испитује утемељеност српске лексикографске праксе у погледу формулације речничких дефиниција на лексиколошким теоријским достигнућима у сфери семантичке компоненцијалне анализе, и то на примеру лексичког поља глагола кретања помоћу превозног средства посматраних као одреднице у Речнику Матице српске (РМС). Корпус на коме је рађено истраживање чини 21 речничкa одредница поменуте групе глагола ексцерпираних из РМС. Примарна (основна) значења датих глагола подвргнута су семантичкој компоненцијалној анализи како би се утврдила њихова хијерархијски устројена семска структура, која пружа темељ за састављање речничких дефиниција заснованих на теоријској правилности и доследности, а које су потом упоређиване са дефиницијама садржаним у РМС. Циљ анализе јесте провера степена присутности аналитичког приступа у српској лексикографској пракси, као и изналажење модела за састављање прецизних и свеобухватних речничких дефиниција, који је у складу са комплементарним односом лексикологије и лексикографије.
