Restoration and assessment of water resources of drained lakes. Example of Chełmno Lakeland (Poland)
Authors: Ptak Mariusz 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Based on cartographic materials, three lakes drained in the previous centuries have been reconstructed. It was found that by restoring them to their original state their total surface area would rise by 140 ha. Knowing the water surface level, determined on the basis of the range of peat soils and contour lines, the author reconstructed the bathymetric plans of the lakes. This, in turn, allowed a determination of the volume of water stored in their basins. It amounted to ca. 2.5 million m3. The approach adopted in the paper draws attention to an important element, i.e. to lakes which no longer exist in Poland and which have disappeared as a result of hydrotechnical works. Their restoration to their original state could become an important link in water retention and delaying the land phase of the water cycle. Activities aimed at retaining water in reception basins are carried out in Poland, among others, through the small retention program. Within this project, facilities such as artificial storage reservoirs are being built. In the light of the foregoing, before making a decision to build such a reservoir, it is worth considering the possibility to restore the natural components of the environment, which is more justifiable, both from the point of view of subsequent functioning of the environment and economic factors.

Lumbosacral foraminal ratios and areas using MRI in medium-sized dogs
Authors: Tucker R. L. , Fitzpatrick N. , Reynolds D. 
Published: September 2014

SummaryObjective: To examine conventional magnetic resonance imaging planes of the lumbosacral foramina to obtain objective measurements of foraminal size in mediumsized (20–28 kg) normal dogs.Method: Ten canine cadavers were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging in neutral, flexed and extended position. Foraminal ratios, areas and lumbosacral angles were calculated and their relationship to body weight was evaluated.Results: Foraminal ratios were found to be independent of body weight in medium sized dogs (p >0.42). Foraminal areas were dependent on body weight (p <0.05). Flexion and extension were shown to significantly change both the foraminal ratio and area.Clinical significance: Lumbosacral foraminal stenosis is common in working dogs. Foraminal ratios were evaluated in mediumsized dogs and were found to be independent of body weight, which may provide objective evaluation of surgical decompression techniques if calculated pre- and post-surgery. Foraminal areas were not independent of body weight.

Introduction: Malaria is one of the major parasitic diseases in the State of Rondônia, located in the western Brazilian Amazon. The basic treatment scheme for this disease is chloroquine and primaquine. This study evaluated the epidemiological profile of malaria in Rondônia between 2008 and 2012. Methodology: The epidemiological data were provided by the Health Surveillance Agency from the State of Rondônia, and socioeconomic indicators were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System, and from the National Institute for Space Research. The analyzed variables included year of diagnosis, gender, age group, main activity performed in the 15 days previous to the diagnosis, parasite species, level of parasitemia, number of relapse/recrudescence cases, and socioeconomic and environmental data for Rondônia. Results: A total of 238,626 cases of malaria were recorded in Rondônia during the study period. Of this total, 65.6% were men and the most prevalent age group was 20–39 years. Plasmodium vivax was the most common parasite (89.8%), followed by Plasmodium falciparum (9.4%). An average of 30.9% of the individuals who were tested presented with relapse/recrudescence malaria. The API value was highest in 2008 and lowest in 2012, corresponding to 42.3 cases and 19.2 cases per 1,000 inhabitants, respectively. Conclusions: A 58% reduction in the number of malaria cases and a 36.2% reduction in the number of relapse/recrudescence malaria cases were observed, due to increases in the economy, improvements in the health system, and reduction of deforestation in this region.
Integral Yoga - A new yoga
Authors: Bhate Niranjana H. 
Published: September 2014

Background:
Many new systems of yoga have emerged in India in the last few centuries. Their uniqueness lies in their distinct philosophy and methods. Clear understanding of the aims and methods of any system of yoga is essential to attain its desired goal.

Aim:
The objective of this paper is to study Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga and to see if its aims and methods are new and differ from those of the traditional systems of yoga.

Methods:
The current study used the descriptive method, wherein there was comparison of content from texts. Sri Aurobindo's books on yoga and other reference works constituted the primary and secondary sources, respectively.

Results:
Based on analysis of the content referred to, it has been observed that the aims and methods of Integral Yoga are new.

Conclusion:
The study revealed the fact that even though Integral Yoga synthesizes various Indian traditional systems of yoga, due to its distinct aims and methods, we can consider it as a new yoga.
The Imagination in Sport Questionnaire – reliability and validity characteristics
Authors: Budnik-Przybylska Dagmara 
Published: September 2014

<b>Background</b><br />
Imagery is an effective performance enhancement technique. Imagery has been described previously in a range of psychological domains. Measuring imagery is critical in research and practice in sport. Self-report questionnaires are the most regularly used method. The aim of the present study was to examine reliability and validity characteristics of the Imagination in Sport Questionnaire (Kwestionariusz Wyobraźni w Sporcie – KWS).<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
Five and hundred eight (N = 326 – study I; N = 182 – study II) Polish athletes completed questionnaires (169 male, 156 female – study I; 139 male, 43 female – study II), aged between 12 and 57 years (M = 22.08, SD = 8.18 – study I; age 19-24, M = 20.46, SD = 1.1 – study II), at different competitive levels and recruited from various sports disciplines.<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
Results indicated the maintained good stability and internal consistency over a 3-week period. Results of confirmatory factor analysis suggested that the 7-factor structure of the KWS resulted in acceptable model fit indices (NC = 2416.63, df = 1203, GFI = 0.944, AGFI = 0.944, CFI = 0.786, RMSEA = 0.056, p (RMSEA < 0.05) = 0.002 – first study; NC = 2234.39, df = 1203, GFI = 0.673, AGFI = = 0.640, CFI = 0.691, RMSEA = 0.069, p (RMSEA < 0.05) = = 0.000 – second study). Concurrent validity was supported by examination of the relationships between the KWS subscales and the SIAM (Sport Imagery Ability Measure) in Polish adaptation. In addition, differences in athletes’ imagery ability were examined across competitive levels, and in relation to both gender and age.<br />
<b>Conclusions</b><br />
Overall, the results supported the reliability and construct validity of the KWS.
Latent classes of criminal intent associated with criminal behaviour
Authors: Boduszek Daniel , Dhingra Katie , Stander Camille , Ioannou Maria , Palmer Derrol 
Published: September 2014

<b>Background</b><br />
This study aimed to examine the number of latent classes of criminal intent that exist among prisoners and to look at the associations with recidivism, number of police arrests, type of offending (robbery, violent offences, murder, and multiple offences), and age.<br />
<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
Latent class analysis was used to identify homogeneous subgroups of prisoners based on their responses to the 10 questions reflecting criminal intent. Participants were 309 male recidivistic prisoners incarcerated in a maximum security prison. Multinomial logistic regression was used to interpret the nature of the latent classes, or groups, by estimating the association between recidivism and latent classes of criminal intent while controlling for offence type (robbery, violent offences, murder, and multiple offences), number of arrests, and age. <br />
<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
The best fitting latent class model was a three-class solution: ‘High criminal intent’ (49.3%), ‘Intermediate criminal intent’ (41.3%), and ‘Low criminal intent’ (9.4%). The latent classes were differentially related to the external variables (recidivism, violent offences, and age).<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusions</b><br />
Criminal intent is best explained by three homogeneous classes that appear to represent an underlying continuum. Future work is needed to identify whether these distinct classes of criminal intent may predict engagement in various types of criminal behaviour.
Self-esteem and achievement motivation level in overweight and obese adolescents
Authors: Radziwiłłowicz Wioletta , Macias Magdalena 
Published: September 2014

<b>Background </b><br />
The increase in the prevalence of obesity and overweight is a global trend, whereas the number of studies devoted to the psycho-social functioning of the overweight young is comparatively small. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlations between the occurrence of overweight and obesity during adolescence and achievement motivation and self-esteem levels, taking into consideration the sex and age of subjects.<br />
<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
Altogether, 72 subjects were included in the study. Of them, 36 were overweight (n = 16; BMI = 25-29.9) or obese (n = 20; BMI ≥ 30), whereas the control group (n = 36) comprised individuals with standard body weight. Both the overweight/obese group and the control group were composed of 18 females and 18 males. The age range of subjects was 14-21 (M = 17.32; SD = 2.61). The M. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Questionnaire of Measuring Achievement Motivation (by M. Widerszal-Bazyl), and also a socio-demographic survey, were applied.<br />
<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
Overweight and obese individuals are characterized by lower (average or low) self-esteem and achievement motivation (they are characterized by a lower perseverance level while performing tasks, perceive time in a less dynamic way, are less future-oriented, and their self-confidence level is lower) than individuals with standard body weight, and who are characterized by high self-esteem and average achievement motivation. In the scope of school mark average, and also of planning higher academic education, there are no intergroup differences. Sex, and also age, does not differentiate overweight or obese individuals in the scope of self-esteem or achievement motivation. Differences occur in the case of comparing individuals of the same sex. Overweight or obese women are characterized by a lower self-esteem level than those whose body mass index is normal. Overweight or obese men are characterized by a lower self-esteem and achievement motivation levels (apart from the above-mentioned indicators, they are characterized by a lower level of ability to delay gratification, and of striving for social recognition) than these whose body mass index is normal. <br />
<br />
<b>Conclusions</b><br />
Higher self-esteem occurs together with a stronger motivation achievement in the entire studied group. This correlation does not occur when the group of overweight and obese individuals, and also the control group, are considered separately. In the entire studied group, as well as in subgroups (of overweight and obese, and also of people with normal weight), there is no connection between self-esteem, mean school grades and planning higher academic education.
The effects of kangaroo mother care in a sample of preterm, preschool aged children
Authors: Chrzan-Dętkoś Magdalena , Pawlicka Paulina , Bogdanowicz Marta 
Published: September 2014

<b>Background</b><br />
The research has shown that kangaroo mother care has a protective impact both on health and future cognitive skills of prematurely born babies. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between the early skin-to-skin contact and the cognitive and emotional-social functioning of preschool aged preterm babies.<br />
<br />
<b>Participants and procedure</b><br />
The study group included 99 preterm babies. The children participated in a psychological examination conducted using the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale and the Terman-Merrill Test. The data concerning the skin-to-skin contact during the child’s hospitalisation were acquired during interviews with mothers. The emotional development was assessed on the basis of interviews with mothers, conducted using the Rescorla DSM-IV Orientation Scale (2005).<br />
<br />
<b>Results</b><br />
The study showed no relation between kangaroo mother care and cognitive development. Nevertheless the early skin-to-skin contact turned out to be connected with the emotional functioning of the subjects. Preterm babies who used to experience kangaroo mother care experienced fewer anxiety and depressive disorders than those who did not. In addition it was revealed that the children who suffered from early damage to the brain in the forms of intraventricular and periventricular haemorrhages and experienced kangaroo mother care demonstrated less intense depressive symptoms than those who did not.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusions</b><br />
The obtained results, combined with the review of the foreign literature of the subject, indicate the usefulness of introducing kangaroo mother care to neonatal wards and encouraging parents to care about their prematurely born babies in such a way.

Published: September 2014

Eozynofilowa ziarniniakowatość z zapaleniem naczyń (<i>eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis</i> – EGPA), charakteryzująca się współistnieniem objawów astmy oskrzelowej, eozynofilii krwi obwodowej oraz charakterystycznych zmian histopatologicznych, należy do pierwotnych układowych zapaleń małych naczyń o nieznanej etiologii. Zajęcie serca w przebiegu EGPA jest spotykane w zależności od źródła danych u 17–92% chorych, wpływa ono na niepomyślną prognozę i stanowi główną przyczynę śmiertelności w tej grupie chorych. Należy zawsze brać pod uwagę EGPA w diagnostyce różnicowej ostrej niewydolności serca, zwłaszcza u osób młodych bez czynników ryzyka choroby niedokrwiennej serca, a także u chorych z obecnością astmy oskrzelowej, alergicznego nieżytu nosa lub polipów nosa. Rzadkim powikłaniem zajęcia serca jest powstanie skrzepliny w koniuszku lewej komory serca wymagające leczenia przeciwzakrzepowego. W artykule przedstawiono przypadek 49-letniego pacjenta z ostatecznym rozpoznaniem EGPA, u którego zajęcie serca przebiegało w postaci ostrej niewydolności, imitując początkowo ostry zespół wieńcowy.

W przebiegu choroby opisano liczne objawy, w tym cztery główne: gorączkę, bóle i zapalenie stawów oraz wysypkę, którym często towarzyszą objawy dodatkowe: ból i zapalenie gardła, powiększenie wątroby i śledziony, powiększenie węzłów chłonnych, ból mięśni, ból brzucha, ostre zapalenie trzustki, zapalenie otrzewnej, opłucnej, osierdzia. W leczeniu choroby stosuje się niesteroidowe leki przeciwzapalne, glikokortykosteroidy, leki modyfikujące przebieg choroby oraz leki biologiczne (antagoniści czynnika martwicy nowotworów). W pracy opisano przypadek chorego na AOSD leczonego adalimumabem, u którego w trakcie terapii zdiagnozowano guza ziarnistokomórkowego skóry.
Os conceitos de justo e injusto em Aristóteles: entre EN V,1 e EN V,9
Authors: De Campos Baldin Mateus 
Published: September 2014

Alguns autores de Filosofia do Direito, em especial Michel Villey, tentaram apresentar o que pensavam ser a teoria aristotélica da justiça, fundamentando a partir dela suas próprias teorias. Para Villey, em específico, "o direito" seria a correta tradução do grego τὸ δίκαιον. Defender com base em Aristóteles uma concepção de justo que recuse elementos subjetivos de uma teoria da ação é um erro. E esse erro parece estar em ignorar uma redefinição de τὸ δίκαιον feita por Aristóteles no Capítulo 9 do Livro V da Ética Nicomaqueia. Ali, Aristóteles acrescenta às condições objetivas do justo e do injusto (EN V,1-7) algumas condições subjetivas referentes àquele que sofre a ação. Somente após entendermos essas condições seremos capazes de entender corretamente a teoria aristotélica da justiça. Como Villey e outros autores as ignoram, eles erram ao interpretar Aristóteles e utilizá-lo para fundamentar suas próprias ideias.
A escolha de Hércules: o problema artístico da expressão do moral na tradição shaftesburiana
Authors: Jaffro Laurent 
Published: September 2014

Segundo Shaftesbury e seus sucessore (James Harris, Adam Smith, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing), uma obra de arte imitativa, corretamente produzida, exprime um conteúdo moral no sentido geral do termo (mental, intelectual, bem como ético). O que esses autores têm no espírito é a expressão não somente enquanto função geral da arte, mas também e sobretudo enquato estrutura particular de cada obra. A expressão não é somente o objetivo de uma obra de arte, mas também a maneira segundo a qual ela funciona. Este artigo mostra como as reflexões de Shaftesbury em A Notion of the Historical Draught or Tablature of the Judgement of Hercules abrem a via para uma nova maneira de considerar cada obra de arte individual como uma solução para um problema da expressão que não depende do meio empregado. No artigo se estuda também o contexto histórico desse escrito de Shaftesbury bem como de sua posteridade em Harris, Smith, e Lessing.
Materialismo e história: o caso do Barão d’Holbach
Authors: De Souza Maria das Graças 
Published: September 2014

Trata-se, em primeiro lugar, de examinar em que medida o monismo materialista, tal como se apresenta na obra Sistema da natureza de Holbach, de 1770, permite a formulação de uma concepção original da história, para, em seguida, averiguar se esta concepção do curso geral dos acontecimentos humanos poderia ser identificada na História natural da superstição, do mesmo autor. We aim, in the first place, to examine at what extent Holbach's materialistic monism, as presented in his System of nature (1770), allows us to formulate an original conception of history, so that we can, secondly, ascertain whether this conception of the general course of human events could be identified in hisNatural history of superstition.
Entre Refinamento e Civilização
Authors: G Pimenta Pedro Paulo 
Published: September 2014

Trata-se de examinar, a propósito da crítica de Hume ao Ensaio de Ferguson sobre a história da sociedade civil, o alcance e os limites da noção de civilização, tão importante para o pensamento das Luzes que a própria palavra foi forjada, pela primeira vez, nessa época. The aim of the article is to study the scope of the notion of civilization as it occurs in Hume's reading of Ferguson's Essay on history of civil society. The importance of the topic in the philosophy of the Enlightenment is such that the very word was coined in the 18th Century.
Notas sobre o déficit teórico da imaginação sociológica na filosofia da história de Kant
Authors: Tourinho Peres Daniel 
Published: September 2014

O artigo procura argumentar contra a ideia de que a filosofia da história de Kant contaria com dois modelos de fundamentação: um modelo oficial, de natureza hipotético-teleológica, e outro hermenêutico-explicativo, que, porém, acabaria por implodir o sistema. Trata-se de mostrar que há um único modelo, de natureza hermenêutica-explicativa, que não obstante faz uso de princípios hipotético-teleológicos. Mais ainda, que tal modelo está presente ao longo de diversos momentos do sistema, como na Doutrina do Direito, ou na Religião nos limites da simples razão. The article argues against the idea that Kant's philosophy of history would have included two types of foundation: an official model, hypothetical and teleological in nature, and other hermeneutic-explanatory, the last one that eventually would implode the system. The aim is to show that there is a single model, of hermeneutics-explanatory nature, which nevertheless makes use of hypothetical and teleological principles, and that such a model is present at various moments throughout the system, as in the Doctrine of Right, or in the Religion within the limits of pure reason.
Carne e Espelho em Merleau-Ponty
Authors: De Saint Aubert Emmanuel 
Published: September 2014

Entrelaçada com estruturações naturais e história pessoal, a carne, na concepção gradualmente forjada por Merleau-Ponty, é nutrida pelas influências combinadas da neurologia, Gestalt psicologia e psicanálise. Essa tripla influência sustenta um tema recorrente em seus últimos escritos: o espelho. "A carne é um fenômeno de espelho", nos diz Merleau-Ponty. Os manuscritos não publicados revelam que esta famosa sentença não se refere diretamente a Husserl, nem a Wallon e Lacan, mas é conduzida pelas leituras contemporâneas de Paul Schilder e Wolfgang Metzger, que estudam o fenômeno de migrações distanciadas da imagem corporal na visão. O espelho mistura corpo objetivo e corpo fenomenal, em uma comunidade efetiva entre meu corpo vivido e sua imagem externa. Ele mostra como a carne vive tanto em si quanto fora de si, animada por uma incompletude essencial que envolve a percepção em um processo de incorporação e, consequentemente, aponta para a intercorporeidade.
