Complications of Transrectal Prostate Biopsy
Authors: Cech P. , Luptak J. 
Published: June 2014

Abstract
Objective: The aim of our study is to evaluate complications In patients who underwent a Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Prostate Biopsy (TRUS BP) at the Department of Urology of JFM CU and UHM in 2007-2008 and at the Department of Urology in Bojnice Hospital in 2009-2012.
Methodology, disclosures: In our study, patients with positive digital rectal examination (DRE) and/or with hig- her prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels (>4 ng/ml) are included. We excluded patients with PSA levels greater than 50ng/ml. as well as patients with less than 8 biopsy cores. The number of examined patients fulfilling the criteria was 474. An average age of them was 66.3 years (SD±8.3years). As an antibacterial prophylaxis, the patients were given fluoroquinolons in a dose of 500mg twice a day during a 3-day course of antibiotics, while the first dose was given one day before the procedure. In high risk patients, we used a single intramuscular dose of gentamycin 160mg right before the procedure followed by fluoroquinolons for the next five days.
Results: The most severe complication was vasovagal reaction, which occurred in 9 (1.9%) cases. Haematuria occurred in 122 (25.7%) cases up to 3 days and in 10 (2.1%) patients up to 7 days. Six patients (1.3%) required hospital admission for severe haematuria. Dysuria occurred in 71 patients (15%). Rectal bleeding occurred in 90 (19%) cases with an average 2 days of bleeding, from which 7 patients were admitted to hospital and administered haemostyptics. From the mentioned count. 2 (0.4%) patients underwent a rectal tamponade and one (0.2%) patient with arterial bleeding underwent an arterial ligation of a stricken artery. Haemospermia occurred in 71 (15%) cases. 23 (4.9%) patients suffered fever above 38°C. within whom in 7 (1.5%) cases was microscopicaly proven uri- nary tract infection requiring hospitalisation lasting 7 days on average. Sepsis occurred in 3 (0.6%) patients, symp- tomatic bacterial prostatitis in 6 (1.2%) cases and urinary retention occurred in one (0.2%) patient. There was not arty significant higher amount of complications in between 8-core and 10-core biopsy (P=0.26), not even in betwe- en 8-core and 12-core biopsy (P=0.32).
Conclusion: TRUS PB is a sale procedure with quite a low risk of complications. An important moment is a close monitoring right after the procedure. The most of the complications may persist for around two weeks and are trea- ted conservatively without persistent effects. Prophylaxis with broad spectrum antibiotics may provide an adequa- te coverage and lowers the risk of infectious complications.

Abstract
A prospective multicentral observational study of minimally invasive fusion to treat degenerative lumbar disorders, and to report outcomes of one or two level minimally invasive posterior lumbar interbody fusion (MLIF) for degenerative lumbar disorders in a multi-center 1-year prospective study. We prospectively studied a group of 32 patients, mostly female 24 ( 75% female ), and 8 males ( 25%). They underwent minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (mTLIF), 21 of them monosegmental and 11 bisegmental. Patients demographics, intraoperative data and complications were recorded. Time to first ambulation, time to study-defined recovery, surgical duration, blood loss, fluoroscopy time and adverse events were recorded. Visual analogue scale (VAS) of back and legs pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI) and health-related questionnaire (EQ-5D) were assessed preoperatively and at defined time points through 12 months postoperatively. Mean surgical duration, blood loss and intraoperative fluoroscopy time were 125 vs.175 minutes, 150 vs. 170 ml, and 105 vs. 145 seconds in one- and twolevel segments, respectively. Mean preoperative VAS back (6.5) and VAS leg (7.9) scores dropped significantly (p<0.0001) to 3.5 (2.6) and 2.1 (2.0) at discharge (6 weeks). At the end, this is the largest prospective multi-center observational study of MLIF to date, following routine local standard of practice and, MLIF demonstrated favourable clinical results with early and sustained improvement in patient reported outcomes and low major perioperative morbidity.
Fossil zygospores of Zygnemataceae and other microremains of freshwater algae from two Miocene palaeosinkholes in the Opole region, SW Poland
Authors: Worobiec Elżbieta 
Published: June 2014

ABSTRACTAlgal microremains were encountered during palynological investigation of deposits filling two Miocene palaeosinkholes excavated in the Tarnów Opolski and Górażdże quarries. Algal microfossils of 40 species were identified, most of which are frequent non-pollen palynomorphs occurring in Neogene deposits. The microfossils most frequently found in all studied samples belong to the genera Sigmopollis and Botryococcus. Both algal assemblages contain a significant proportion of resting cells (zygospores = hypnozygotes) such as Cycloovoidites, Diagonalites, Megatetrapidites, Ovoidites, Stigmozygodites, and Tetrapidites, probably fossil zygospores of members of the Zygnemataceae family (Mougeotia, Spirogyra, Zygnema). Some specimens probably related to desmid zygospores (Closteritetrapidites, Monopunctites, Planctonites), freshwater dinoflagellate cysts, and Prasinophyceae (Leiosphaeridia) were found. Most of the identified fossilised remains of algae are often seen in sediments indicating meso- to eutrophic conditions and are characteristic for stagnant or slowly flowing shallow waters. Fossil algae of Pediastrum and Tetraedron genera were recorded in samples from the Górażdże palaeosinkhole, suggesting small differences in the aquatic habitat (e.g. water depth) between ponds in the sinkholes. Three new fossil species related to zygospores of the Zygnemataceae are described: Ovoidites vangeelii sp. nov., Tetrapidites grandis sp. nov., and Tetrapidites opolensis sp. nov
New Polymorphisms in Regulatory Region of CAPN3 Gene with no Effect on Gene Expression in Breast Muscle of Broiler Chickens
Authors: Piórkowska Katarzyna , Nowak Joanna , Połtowicz Katarzyna , Ropka-Molik Katarzyna 
Published: June 2014

Abstract
Calpains are enzymes that belong to calcium-dependent, non-lysosomal cysteine proteases. The CAPN3 gene encodes a major intracellular specific muscle protease with a high capacity for degradation of cytoskeletal and muscle fibre proteins. Therefore, they play an important role in fusion of myoblasts, proliferation, cell growth and migration. In chickens, the gene encoding for calpain 3 is localized on chromosome 5. Due to the function of encoded protein, the CAPN3 has beenchosen as a candidate gene for meat quality in chickens. Consequently, the aim of our study was to identify new polymorphisms in the regulatory region of CAPN3 gene and to investigate their impact on CAPN3 transcript abundance in breast muscles. The experiment used broilers of two genetic lines: fast- and slow-growing. The polymorphisms were identified by screening with High Resolution Melting (HRM) and sequencing based on the Sanger method. The CAPN3 gene expression was conducted by using succinate dehydrogenase complex, subunit A (SDHA) and 60S ribosomal protein L4 (RPL4) genes as endogenous controls. Four new polymorphisms were found: g.322176G>A in promoter region (GenBank: AADN03004661.1), c.176*C>T, c.144*G>C and c.137*_147*delCAGCCCTGCTT in 3`UTR sequence. The new polymorphisms were identified by using restriction enzymes ScrFI, BslI, AcuI, HpyAV, respectively. The frequency of polymorphisms found in 3`UTR region was similar in both lines. According to polymorphisms identified in 3`UTR region the alleles with deletion, C and C (c.137*_147*del, c.144*G>C and c.176*C>T) were rare. The polymorphism identified in the promoter region and 3`UTR regions changed a few binding sites for transcription factors, but did not alter any binding sites for the other important translation regulators such as miRNA. Analysis of the effect of new polymorphisms on CAPN3 gene expression showed that in fast-growing line the chickens with GG genotype according to polymorphism g.322176G>A inthe promoter region, were characterized by the highest CAPN3 transcript abundance. Other polymorphisms in 3>UTR region seem to have no effect on CAPN3 gene expression.
The image of Germany in Poland and its impact on development of Poles travelling tourism to Germany
Authors: Dębski Maciej , Niemczak Kinga 
Published: June 2014

Abstract
The country image tends to be a crucial element for supporting national products on foreign markets. This is also a case for tourist products. The Germany brand is one of the most powerful brands across the world. However, it seems, as highlighted in the research hypothesis, that in the case of tourism its impact on the Poles is not as strong as in the case of numerous other economic spheres. The poll research conducted on a selected group of respondents revealed the grounds for the hypothesis stated. Respondents evaluated relatively poorly both the attractiveness of Germany as well as their urge to visit that country compared to other European countries, they also rated poorly the selected highlights of the country. Another barrier related to perceived attractiveness of Germany is a not entirely positive stereotype of German people. The results reveal the need for changes of it, which are possible in the light of better ratings given by persons who previously visited Germany.

Nous complétons le modèle d’analyse proposé par des exemples tirés du domaine franco-roumain.
Les noms propres se traduisent-ils ? Étude d’un corpus multilingue
Authors: Lecuit Émeline , Maurel Denis , Vitas Duško 
Published: June 2014

Résumé
L’hypothèse selon laquelle les noms propres ne se traduisent pas est très répandue. Elle peut s’expliquer par des critères définitoires des noms propres très réducteurs mais malheureusement largement partagés. Dans cet article, nous démontrons, à partir de l’étude d’un corpus aligné composé de onze versions en dix langues du même texte littéraire, que le nom propre peut être sujet à différents procédés de traduction et qu’il est erroné de prôner le report simple systématique des noms propres de la langue-source à la langue-cible.

Semanticidad antroponímica y traducción al español en la comedia molieresca
Authors: Adrada Rafael Cristina 
Published: June 2014

Resumen
Frente al ya tan defendido carácter pragmático y referencial de los antropónimos reales, el presente trabajo parte de la hipótesis que defiende la semanticidad del nombre propio de persona, ya sea en la vida real o imaginada. Esta carga semántica se verá acentuada en los antropónimos de la ficción literaria, cuya semanticidad reposará en la intencionalidad del escritor.
En estas páginas nos adentraremos en la problemática que supone la dificultad del trasvase de los valores antroponímicos en los textos teatrales, partiendo de traducciones reales llevadas a cabo hacia el español de los nombres de algunos personajes de Molière.
Adaptación y neutralización en la traducción de los nombres propios: Baltagul/El hacha
Authors: Bobăilă Iulia 
Published: June 2014

Resumen
Dada la naturaleza especial de los nombres propios, las estrategias utilizadas para verterlos a otra lengua varían desde la transferencia literal, la transcripción fonética o la adaptación morfológica, hasta la sustitución completa en la lengua de llegada. Más allá de la función primaria de identificación, los nombres propios juegan un papel crucial, especialmente en la literatura, debido a su carga semántica. El traductor se enfrenta a la tarea de ofrecer soluciones que compensen la pérdida de información, insertando glosas textuales y poniendo a prueba sus técnicas creativas. El presente trabajo analiza la traducción al español de una de las novelas clásicas de la literatura rumana, subrayando el intrincado proceso que le permitió a la traductora llevar a cabo el papel de mediador cultural y las posibilidades de explotar la comparación entre el texto origen y el texto de llegada, desde el punto de vista de sus aplicaciones pedagógicas, con vistas a estimular el pensamiento crítico de los alumnos.

Translaticia Translatio – brief script about non-translation
Authors: Negrescu Dan 
Published: June 2014

Abstract
This article sets out to present a situation which is unconventional, yet frequent in the real act of translation, namely, resorting to clarification, as Saint Jerome chooses to do in the case of certain Hebrew terms impossible to translate in accordance with the Jeromian translational method and not only; the phrase “translaticia translation” is contrived so as to synthesize a situation and implicitly a solution, with specific references and examples from the Jeromian epistolary text, the latter becoming a possible guide for non-translation as a sensible choice.
The Creation of Radicalism: Anti-Nuclear Activism in Nova Scotia, c. 1972–1979
Authors: Leeming Mark 
Published: June 2014

Abstract: An attempt to build the world's largest nuclear power plant on a tiny island off the south shore of Nova Scotia in the early 1970s sparked an anti-nuclear movement that was able, by the end of the decade, to force the provincial government to abandon plans for a united regional electric utility. The provincial movement shared in the creation of national, continental, and even global campaigns against nuclear technology but was fractious within itself. Bringing together peace activists, feminists, counterculture back-to-the-landers, along with classic conservationists, engineers, and fishers' advocates, the anti-nuclear coalition faced inevitable internal disagreement. By the late 1970s, different approaches to government and industry – as partners or as adversaries – had produced a nascent environmental mainstream, and by extension a radical fringe, from activist groups and networks that had achieved success by working together in prior years. The anti-nuclear controversy of the 1970s was key to the shape of the environmental movement in decades to follow.

Fighting invasive non-native plant species: targeted use of limited resources (essay)
On the basis of two research projects carried out in 2012, Pro Natura calculated the costs of monitoring and combating invasive non-native plant species in Switzerland, and identified shortcomings in the management of these species. On average, in the five cantons covered, these costs are CHF 8.50/ha/year. If these are extrapolated for Switzerland as a whole (without Alpine meadows), this makes a total of at least CHF 19.49 million to be spent annually for coordination, control and fighting against invasive non-native plant species. This estimate does not include damage caused by these plants, nor the cost of human resources in the federal administration and research. These real costs are a plausible and useful instrument to demonstrate what the implementation of planned measures costs, so that appropriate budgets may be drawn up. The biggest shortcomings in the management of invasive non-native species, according to Pro Natura, are the absence of an overall concept, incomplete execution of legislation, and the fact that in the wild species are combated, while they are still on sale in garden centres. Pro Natura advocates a consistent ban on all non-native species which must be considered invasive, using objective criteria.

L'impact de la crise financière sur la finance responsable en France, vers une structuration plus durable du secteur ?
Authors: Cuénoud Thibault 
Published: June 2014

La contraction des principaux indicateurs macroéconomiques et macro-financiers depuis 2008 témoigne d’une dégradation généralisée et durable de la croissance française. Ce climat n’est pas pour autant spécifique à d’autres crises financières. Le patrimoine financier des ménages français, au regard de la dernière enquête INSEE (2010), témoigne à nouveau d’un redéploiement des actifs vers des placements moins risqués. Mais la récente crise semble traduire un besoin de transparence, de compréhension et d’utilité dans l’épargne allouée au marché financier. L’explosion de placements financiers qualifiés de responsables, au sens de Glémain (2010), interpelle quant à l’appropriation durable par les épargnants des spécificités de ces actifs. Cet article pose la question de la pérennité de ce trend sectoriel haussier. S’agit-il d’une véritable prise de conscience collective vis-à-vis d’une finance plus responsable ? Ou bien uniquement d’un effet opportun et conjoncturel au regard de certaines caractéristiques de ces actifs en temps de crise ?
L'impact de la constitution des chartes d'éthique en achat
Authors: Husser Jocelyn 
Published: June 2014

L’impact des chartes d’éthique en achat est abordé à partir de l’analyse de contenu qualitatif d’un corpus de chartes et de l’analyse du processus d’élaboration de la charte dans trois entreprises appartenant à l’indice Euronext SBF 120. Cet impact est également analysé à partir d’entretiens semi-directifs réalisés auprès de 16 acheteurs de ces mêmes entreprises. Les analyses menées reposent sur la conception de la visée éthique de Ricœur (1990) : elle est utilisée ici comme modèle d’approche des discours et des démarches éthiques dans le domaine des achats. Un lien est établi entre la manière d’impliquer les acteurs à son élaboration et l’acceptabilité de la charte. Les principaux résultats de la recherche montrent que la charte en achat est insuffisante pour faire intégrer des comportements éthiques. Le message participe à rendre la charte en achat acceptable s’il comprend des valeurs que chacun puisse partager au quotidien, s’il implique et reconnaît l’humanité dans la relation avec les fournisseurs.
