Phellinus hippophaëicola (Hymenochaetaceae) Is Not Rare in Poland: Findings from the Pobrzeże Szczecińskie Coastland
Authors: Friedrich Stefan 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThe occurrence of Phellinus hippophaëicola H. Jahn, a fungal pathogen of Hippophaë rhamnoides L., on the Pobrzeże Szczecińskie coastland, NW Poland, was surveyed during 2015–2016. Altogether 59 localities of Phellinus hippophaëicola were recorded, including the first Polish inland locatlities on cultivated plants of Hippophaë rhamnoides. The localities are from 18 ATPOL grid squares, including 43 localities on the Baltic Sea coast. Phellinus hippophaëicola occurred at 74% of all the localities of Hippophaë rhamnoides examined, and at ca 84% of the plant’s natural sites. These findings, and also the status of Hippophaë rhamnoides as a protected species occurring in protected habitats in Natura 2000 sites, mean that Phellinus hippophaëicola is not a rare and endangered species in Poland. In total, 69 localities located in 28 ATPOL grid squares, including the localities reported here, are currently known from Poland.

Abstract
Introduction: Locomotion efficiency levels in individuals with spinal cord injury deal cord injury depend upon the level of spinal cord injury. Rehabilitation of people with spinal cord injury aims to prepare them to function in society in the best possible manner. One of the significant tasks of rehabilitation is to develop the skill of moving in a wheelchair, which becomes the only means of locomotion for most people. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of selected factors such as age, sex, time from the occurrence of the injury, the level of spinal cord injury, participation in Active Rehabilitation camps and the level of physical activity on the efficiency of locomotion in a wheelchair in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Material and methods: The study included 55 patients after a complete spinal cord injury (39 males and 16 females using manual wheelchairs), aged 19 to 59. The level of spinal cord injury was assessed on the basis of a subjective classification of ASIA. The efficiency of wheelchair mobility was evaluated using the wheelchair manoeuvring technique test by Tasiemski (evaluation of performance of 14 tasks taking into account architectural barriers).
Results: The majority of respondents (n = 28) obtained medium level of the efficiency, 16 participants scored low, while 11 individuals scored high. The highest score which women obtained was the medium level. It was men only (n = 11) who scored high. There was no statistically significant correlation between the efficiency of wheel-chair mobility and the level of spinal cord injury. It was observed that younger individuals and those practising sport daily achieved the best test results.
Conclusions: Participants’ age affected their locomotion efficiency in a wheelchair. Females demonstrated lower levels of efficiency wheelchair mobility than their male counterparts. Regular physical activity affected the participants’ efficiency of wheeled mobility significantly.

Abstract
Introduction: Obesity is a common health problem among adults people with intellectual disabilities. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of obesity among people with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities by gender, age and degree of disability.
Material and methods: The study group comprised 194 individuals with moderate and severe intellectual disability, aged 20 to 50 years. They were all participants of an occupational therapy workshop. Measurements of height and body weight, waist and hip circumference were conducted. BMI and WHR were calculated. A double-classification ANOVA was carried out to compare outcomes by age and gender. Analysed parameters were standardised by gender and age. Standardised variables were subject to comparative analysis (one-way ANOVA) with respect to the level of disability.
Results: Over a half of the examined individuals exhibited excessive weight gain. Obesity was found in almost 30% of our female participants while among male participants this proportion equalled 19.4%. Waist circumference (p≤0.008) and WHR (p≤0.001) differed significantly between men and women, women had android obesity more often.
Conclusions: Obesity appears to be a common problem among people with intellectual disabilities; to a greater extent among women. Gender was a factor determining the type of obesity since android obesity was more commonly diagnosed in women. The prevalence of obesity did not seem to be associated with age.

Published: December 2016

AbstractIntroduction:Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes dysfunction of many basic functions of a human body (e.g. sensory and motor paralysis) and may result in the occurrence of dangerous health complications (e.g. bedsores) which may contribute to a decrease in the quality of life in individuals with such injuries. In order to adjust to a new situation, persons with SCI have to acquire proper knowledge regarding pathophysiology of SCI, medical and social effects of the injury and, in particular, prevention of post-injury complications. Therefore, this study sought to assess the relationship between knowledge about health status and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in individuals with SCI.Material and methods:The study included 100 persons with SCI (22 females and 78 males) who use a wheelchair in their everyday life. The following tools were employed in the study: 1) the test of the knowledge about health status for persons with SCI and 2) the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) used to assess HRQoL.Results:Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation between the knowledge about health status and a physical measure (p=0.019) as well as a mental measure (p=0.004) of HRQoL. A highly significant correlation was observed between the knowledge about health status and role limitations due to physical health problems (p=0.001), role limitations due to emotional problems (p=0.002) as well as mental health (p=0.001). Moreover, a significant correlation was noted between the knowledge about health status and general health perceptions (p=0.025) and vitality (p=0.017).Conclusions:The knowledge about health status is a significant variable that determines HRQoL in individuals with SCI. This factor manifests a significant correlation with mental and physical measures of HRQoL.

Abstract
Introduction: Dysraphic defects are malformations resulting from a failed neural tube closure in a critical moment of embryogenesis. These structural alterations may include contractures, varus and valgus deformities, scoliosis or hip joint dislocations. According to the literature of the subject, the incidence of dysraphic defects ranges from 1.2% to 4.0% of live births. It is believed that 30% of cases are caused by genetic and environmental factors. The aim of the work was to assess the knowledge of female students of medical courses regarding isolated neural tube defects and their prevention.
Materials and methods: The research included 300 female students of physiotherapy, nursing and paramedic practice from the Medical Department of the University of Rzeszow. Eventually, 276 female students aged 19 to 40 (mean age – 24 years) were qualified for the study. The questionnaire designed by the authors including 37 closed questions was applied in the research. Statistical analysis was performed with the use of PASW/SPSS 17 software. Statistical significance was established at the level of p<0.05.
Results: Half of the examined female students demonstrated a moderate level of knowledge regarding isolated neural tube defects. The majority of the respondents (90%) were aware of the role of folic acid in the prevention of dysraphic defects, while every third woman supplemented her diet with folic acid.
Conclusions: Taking into consideration the obtained results, it was concluded that the supplementation of folic acid was low and that workshops and talks were the main sources of knowledge regarding pathogenesis and prevention of neural tube defects among the women.
Chapter 6. Scaling Up Solutions to State, National and Global Levels

Published: December 2016

Scaling-up solutions require learning and adapting lessons between locations and at different scales. To accomplish this, common metrics are vital to building a shared language. For California, this has meant careful financial, cradle-to-grave life-cycle assessment methods leading to carbon accounting in many avenues of government (via the Low Carbon Fuel Standard or the Cap and Trade program). These methods themselves interact, such as the use of carbon accounting for the resources needed to manage water and other key resources; the use of criteria air pollution monitoring to identify environmental injustices; and the use of carbon market revenues to address these inequalities, through investment in best available abatement technologies (BACT) and in job creation in disadvantaged communities anticipated in the emerging clean energy sector.
Creating interdisciplinary partnerships across the UC Campuses and the National Laboratories to innovate science and technology is critical to scalable carbon neutrality solutions. As an example, we can build coordinated research and development programs across UC and California, with strong partnerships with the Federal government to coordinate and “multiply” resources that accelerate development and deployment. These partnerships should be strongly goal-focused, i.e., they are created to solve specific, large problems, to enable quantitatively measurable outcomes within energy generation, efficiency and CO2 abatement categories. Intersectoral partnerships should be fostered across campuses, laboratories, with state, federal and multi-lateral organizations funding to develop technologies and deploy solutions at scale. Integrated partnerships with industry are required to influence markets, deploy solutions, and create new industries and jobs.
Beyond California, we need to establish consortia with industry and foundations to deploy solutions at the regional, state, national, and international scale to create new industries, new jobs, and further UC and California’s leadership position. Significant economic opportunities exist, such as promoting aggressive electric vehicle programs elsewhere in the world, where California-based companies could play a key role on many fronts, via electric vehicles themselves, but also through building-integrated smart meters, inverters, solar and other clean energy generation technologies. All work must include a focus on environmental justice both at home in California and through global partnerships.

Existe lugar para o signo na história da mídia?
Authors: Machado Irene 
Published: December 2016

Existe um ponto de vista já bastante consolidado sobre a compreensão do que se entende por história social da mídia. Trata-se da abordagem que acompanha não apenas a introdução dos meios de comunicação na cultura, como também as alterações provocadas no cenário das relações sociais. Essa é uma história que acompanha o encadeamento das invenções tecnológicas no sentido de sua eficácia. Por isso mesmo, filia o conceito de comunicação à noção de transporte. Não consta dessa abordagem, a interação pela linguagem, colocando em pauta o seguinte questionamento: existe lugar para as mediações semióticas na história social da mídia? Se houver, qual é esse lugar? Após percorrer os estudos históricos sobre a abordagem histórica da mídia, o presente estudo elabora a defesa de uma história das mediações semióticas resultante do desenvolvimento dos códigos culturais que não são invenções da tecnologia industrial, mas das tecnologias do intelecto.

Multifaceted Solution of Analytical Challenges in Complex Oilfield Materials With Synchrotron Techniques
Authors: Reid Joel , Schmidt Ken , Warrender Neil , Bergen Erika , Cutler Jeffrey , Kerr Scot , Miner Kirk 
Published: December 2016

Summary
The versatility of synchrotron techniques for the solution of oilfield questions is illustrated by the application of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy to a toluene-insoluble oilfield-residue sample from an alkaline/surfactant/polymer (ASP) -flood site in Taber, Alberta, Canada. The primary questions regarding the sample were the sources of the barium and nitrogen (both at levels of approximately 0.8 wt%). Synchrotron PXRD provided better signal–noise and detection limits than previously obtained laboratory PXRD data, enabling the identification of four additional crystalline minerals including heulandite, (Ba, Ca, Sr, K, Na)5 Al9 Si27 O72 (H2O)22, a tecto-silicate zeolite known for accommodation of a wide variety of cations. Heulandite provides a plausible location for barium (and strontium) observed with chemical analysis. Synchrotron XANES spectra at the nitrogen K-edge suggested that the source of the nitrogen content was a corrosion inhibitor, rather than a polyacrylamide (PAM) -based compound, as originally assumed.
A Study on Hydrodynamic Behavior of Fine Sediment in Retention Structure Using Particle Image Velocimetry

Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT: Detention ponds are one type of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) that can be used for the quantity control of stormwater. The pond works by reducing peak discharge downstream through temporary storage and gradual release. In this paper, a new experimental procedure using particle image velocimetry (PIV) is introduced for a two‐dimensional study of the hydrodynamic behavior of fine particles in a specially designed sediment basin. The hydrodynamic behavior of fine particles under different hydraulics parameters was achieved by shifting outlet placement, using different particle‐size diameters, varying the distance of the inlet from the water surface, and varying the flow rate. The same inlet and outlet level reduced fine‐particle dispersion and a lower flow rate assisted with controlling high siltation. Furthermore, smaller spherical particles had more influence on fine particle suspension. Therefore, controlling the hydraulic parameters can decrease the siltation problem level.

Published: December 2016

<p>En este trabajo se estudia la estructura de la economía andaluza en dos momentos del tiempo, 2005 y 2010, con el fin de analizar los posibles efectos de la crisis económica sobre la estructura productiva y el empleo de esta región española. Para ello, se emplea la información proporcionada por las Matrices de Contabilidad Social Regionales de ambos años. Las Matrices de Contabilidad Social (MCS) describen el flujo circular de la renta en una economía y aportan la base estadística necesaria para el análisis de sus sectores clave, las relaciones entre los mismos y su importancia en la generación de empleo. La metodología aplicada será un modelo MCS lineal a través del análisis de multiplicadores. De esta forma se identificarán los sectores productivos más relevantes de Andalucía, se realizará una descomposición de multiplicadores contables en sus tres efectos (directo, indirecto e inducido), y se analizará la importancia de la región en términos de empleo. Por último, el análisis comparativo entre los distintos años, tomando como base la estructura de la economía andaluza en el año 2005, nos permitirá obtener una primera aproximación a los cambios que hayan podido producirse en la estructura económica regional como consecuencia de la reciente crisis. </p>
La contribución de la UE a la configuración de un marco global para la política de competencia
Authors: Palma Martos Luis , García hidalgo José l. 
Published: December 2016

<p>En los últimos años, son muchos los países que están instituyendo agencias encargadas de fomentar y proteger la competencia. Ésa ha sido la respuesta nacional a la proliferación de cárteles internacionales que la globalización está motivando. A nivel internacional, la estrategia pasa por armonizar los múltiples sistemas legales de competencia. Sin embargo, esta estrategia está llegando a su límite y se muestra insuficiente ante los casos de mayor envergadura. Cada vez son menos las diferencias institucionales entre las distintas jurisdicciones. Y menos serán. Es de esperar que los conflictos originados por las diferencias sustantivas o de aplicación de los regímenes nacionales de competencia den paso a disputas más relacionadas con los intereses nacionales. Por ello, creemos apropiado reflexionar sobre cuáles podrían ser los pasos a seguir y, sobre todo, cuál el papel de la UE en dicho proceso. Conviene subrayar que la Dirección General de Competencia de la UE se erige como el actor principal en los esfuerzos por la internacionalización de la política de competencia. Además de haber respaldado la iniciativa, la UE constituye un experimento de política de competencia internacional y una muestra de cómo podrían coexistir los actuales regímenes nacionales con una institución supranacional encargada de la coordinación de aquéllos. Es interesante analizar los mecanismos de cooperación inter-jurisdiccional a nivel europeo y plantearnos la conveniencia de configurar un marco global para la política de competencia a partir de la propia experiencia europea. </p>
