Streszczenie
Podmínky aplikace vysoce legovaných austenitických ocelí lze rozdělit podle charakteru a mechanismu tvorby ochranné vrstvy, která brání jejich intenzivnější celkové korozi. Při vzniku ochranné, pasivační vrstvy mechanismem nízkoteplotní oxidace (tj. do teplot 200-300°C) mají oceli charakter materiálů korozivzdorných. Při vyšších aplikačních teplotách, kdy ochranná oxidická vrstva má charakter oxidu vysokoteplotního (při teplotách nad 300°C), slouží tyto oceli jako materiály žárovzdorné či žáropevné. Dosažení optimální korozní odolnosti v obou aplikačních oblastech závisí mj. na stavu povrchu, avšak odlišným způsobem. Rozhodující vlivy stavu povrchu jsou diskutovány v tomto článku.

Authors: Giercuszkiewicz-Bajtlik Mieczysława , Gworek Barbara 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
A measurement result should be presented with its measurement uncertainty determined according to the evaluation method. The paper presents an experimental method used to evaluate measurement uncertainty resulting from the collection and preparation of samples for analysis in chemical labs. Evaluation of measurement uncertainty of the content of particular elements in actual samples has been conducted with the method of precision determination using ROBUST ANOVA analysis of variance. Analyses of soil samples were made in the Laboratory of the Institute of Environmental Protection - National Research Institute. The experimental method of evaluating measurement uncertainty allows a fast and relatively simple evaluation of all sources of uncertainty resulting from sample collection and preparation for analysis in chemical labs
Effect of Genetic Conditions, Foliar Fertilisation with Magnesium and Storage on the Content of Nitrates (V) and (III) in the Storage Roots in Carrot
Authors: Wszelaczyńska Elżbieta , Pobereżny Jarosław , Keutgen Anna J. 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
During 2007-2009, studies were undertaken to determine the effect of genetic factors, magnesium fertilisation and storage on the content of nitrates (V) and (III) in carrot roots. After harvest as well as after storage, the cultivar ‘Perfekcja’ was characterised by the lowest content of NO3
− and NO2
−, while the greatest amounts were found in cultivar ‘Flacoro’. Magnesium was applied in doses of 0, 45 and 90 kg MgO ha-1 - in the form of 3% spraying during the vegetation season. The research items were cultivars: ‘Berjo’, Flacoro’, ‘Karotan’, ‘Koral’ and ‘Perfekcja’.
After harvest as well as after storage, the cultivar ‘Perfekcja’ was characterised by the lowest content of NO3
− and NO2
−, while the greatest amounts were found in cultivar ‘Flacoro’. In this research, each of the applied dose of magnesium fertilisation resulted in a significant increase in the content of nitrates (V) and (III) in carrot roots, but none of the evaluated cultivars did not exceed the allowed amounts. After storage, the content of nitrates (V) decreased for the cultivars ‘Berjo’, ‘Flacoro’ and ‘Karotan’ by 2%, for ‘Koral’ and ‘Perfekcja’ by 2.5%, whereas of nitrates (III) for the cultivar ‘Berjo’ by 1%, Karotan’ and ‘Perfekcja’ by 3% and for ‘Flacoro’ and ‘Koral’ by 5%.
Mosquito Control in Poland: Pro- and Anti-Environmental Activities
Authors: Gliniewicz Aleksandra , Mikulak Ewa , Rydzanicz Katarzyna 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Mosquito control in Poland is still dominated by the use of chemicals. Although it has been 13 years since the flood of the century, only in few cities and towns (Wroclaw, Gorzow Wielkopolski and Torun) various methods of mosquito control such as mapping of larvae development and setting time limits for the imagines occur-rence were developed. The problem of mosquito control is not only limited to adult insects, it is also much more a complex issue due to the use of insecticides in the environment that we would rather like to keep unchanged, with a diversity of co-existing species of plants and animals. In addition to eradication of larvae and adult insects, we should also: carry out actions modifying environment so that it becomes less friendly to mosquitoes (e.g. drying wet mead-ows as a result of land reclamation), protect places where people reside - with the use of insecticide lamps and spatial repellents, as well as catchers for aggressive female mosquitoes. Increasing the share of environmental management methods and public education on preventing to form and eliminating existing places of mosquito larvae development in urban green areas (parks, river overflow areas and drainage ditches) are still an undervalued element of integrated mosquito control in Poland.
Phycoremediation of Wastewater: Heavy Metal and Nutrient Removal Processes
Authors: Kwarciak-Kozłowska Anna , Sławik-Dembiczak Lucyna , Bańka Bartłomiej 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Phycoremediation is the use of algae for the removal or biotrans-formation of pollutants from wastewater. The study is a novel at-tempt to integrate nutrient (N and P) removal and some heavy met-als (iron, manganese and zinc) bioaccumulation from municipal wastewater using two microalgae species: Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus armatus. The Chlorella vulgaris showed higher re-moval of total nitrogen (TN) both in influent and effluent waste water than Scenedesmus armatus. Nevertheless, more than 51% of total phosphorus (TP) in effluent and 36% in influent wastewaters were removed by Scenedesmus armatus. More efficient microalga in heavy metal removal in influent wastewater was Scenedesmus armatus. The results showed that Chlorella vulgaris was appropriate for TN removal and bioaccumulation of heavy metals from effluent wastewater. Nevertheless, Scenedesmus armatus was highly pref-erable for heavy metals removal from influent wastewater.
Environmental Awareness Among the Rural Population in Natura 2000 Areas, with Bartoszyce and Sorkwity Communes as an Example
Authors: Gotkiewicz Wojciech , Sternik Paweł 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
The aim of this study was to learn about environmental awareness among the inhabitants of communes in which Natura 2000 areas had been designated. Field study with the use of an interview questionnaire was conducted in 2013 in two communes of Warmińsko-Mazurskie province, namely Bartoszyce and Sorkwity. The study in-volved a total of 61 inhabitants. The obtained results demonstrated that despite the actual presence of various forms of environmental protection within the areas under study, the depth of knowledge in the subject concerned was relatively low among the local population. Research shows that the respondents perceive the need for pro-environmental measures; however, they rarely take those mea-sures themselves, unless they can see economic profits in it. Even though more than half of the respondents have heard the name Natura 2000, majority of them know nothing thereof.
The Flavour of Murder: Food and Crime in the Novels of Agatha Christie
Authors: Baučeková Silvia 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Food and murder have had a paradoxical relationship ever since the first prehistoric hunter-gatherers put the first morsels of meat into their mouths. On one hand, eating means life: food is absolutely necessary to sustain life. On the other hand, eating means killing. Whether it is the obvious killing of an animal for meat, or the less obvious termination of a plant’s life, one must destroy life in order to eat. It is assumed that this inherent tension between eating/living and eating/dying often informs and shapes crime narratives, not only in the recently invented genre of culinary mystery, produced most famously by Diane Mott Davidson and Joanne Fluke, but also, even if to a lesser extent, in classic detective novels of the 20th century. This article focuses on how the contradictory nature of eating is manifested in the work of Agatha Christie. By combining a traditional structuralist approach to crime fiction as a formula, as advocated by John G. Cawelti, with the methods of the emerging field of food studies, the paper aims to observe a classic, i.e., the classic detective story, from a new perspective
Circumventing Cultural Reification: A Study of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’S the Thing Around Your Neck

Published: May 2015

Abstract
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie argues in her 2009 collection of short stories that in as much as brutal dictatorship together with extreme underdevelopment propel young Nigerians for immigration, inaccurate and often scandalizing media portrayal also has nonetheless an important share in the sad drama. Her drama proposes way of circumventing cultural reification caused by inaccurate media representation.

Abstract
This paper will explore the issue of similar lexical forms (Laufer 1991) as a potential problem in vocabulary acquisition of Serbian EFL learners. Building on previous research (Kocić 2008), we collected data from two groups of undergraduate students at the Faculty of Philology and Arts in Kragujevac (lower- and upper-intermediate), and attempted to identify the factors that contribute to synform confusions.
Testing and Assessing English Word-Formation
Authors: Stopar Andrej 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
The paper discusses the testing/assessment of word-formation skills in thresholdlevel (B1) learners. To determine the suitability and use of productive gap-fill exercises at this level, an example of a word-formation exercise is addressed from the following perspectives: word frequency (corpus data), morphological complexity (morpheme types and wordformation processes), syntactic environments (typical sentence and/or phrase patterns), analysis of statistical data (facility values) and test-takers’ errors. The text also addresses some implications of the findings for the instruction of lexis.
Liberalism According to Štefan Launer or on an Ethno-Emancipation Theory
Authors: Gbúrová Marcela 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Liberalism According to Štefan Launer, or on an Ethno-Emancipation Theory. (This paper has been prepared under the VEGA project No. 1/1116/12). Liberally-oriented Štefan Launer intervened in the complicated Slovak nationalidentification process of the 1840s, who defined himself in relation to the Štúr´s group by his radical rejection of their language reform. He considered that reform a gross distortion of the State (Historic-Hungarian) and national (Czechoslovak) integration. Launer made use of the difficult situation of looking for the most suitable solution of language issues of Slovaks in Historic Hungary to expose his own expertise, his intellectual gifts, and his conflicting nature. He developed his own ethno-emancipation theory, through which he not only wanted to attract the representatives of the Lutheran Church in Historic Hungary, but mainly the historic Hungarian political suzerain. The essence of his concept was that he defined the streamlining of cultural and political modernity in Europe from its western part to its eastern part, while having ”entrusted” the global history-forming initiative to four of the Western European nations (the Italian, the French, the English, and the German ones), which by virtue of their scholarship and spirit were to revive the Slavic world. Through the above concept, he intended to contribute to resolving the ethno-cultural processes ongoing within the context of modernizing multilingual Historic Hungary
Post-harvest biomass stock and productivity of Calamagrostis epigejos community under beech and spruce forest stand
Authors: Máliš František , Konôpka Bohdan , Maľová Miriam 
Published: May 2015

AbstractWe investigated the above- and below-ground standing biomass and production of plant communities dominated by bushgrass (Calamagrostis epigejos) colonizing forest clearings created by harvesting beechspruce forest stands. Above-ground living biomass of these communities was 6.6 t.ha-1, while above-ground litter made up 5.6 t.ha-1. Below-ground standing biomass was 6.6 t.ha-1 and production was 1.6 t.ha-1. Inter-annual fluctuations in production were rather high and did not clearly follow weather alternations. We hypothesize about some of the reasons for this. A negative correlation between litter and production of bushgrass rhizomes and root were found. The amount of bushgrass above-ground biomass did not affect species’ richness, but a higher amount of its roots inhibited occurrence of other species, especially other dominants in the forest clearings Epilobium angustifolium and Rubus idaeus. The bushgrass produced rhizomes mainly at micro-sites with higher proportions to other species. The number and average length of the bushgrass blades are related to its above-ground biomass. We conclude that the competition between bushgrass and other species takes place most heavily in the top soil layer. Biomass production of bushgrass communities is not sensitive to weather patterns under the conditions of beech-spruce forest clearings. In terms of the carbon accumulation and nutrient cycling, these communities have an important role in certain periods of forest life.
The Jewish Setting of the Epistle of James
Authors: Allison Dale C. 
Published: May 2015

Many older commentators understood the Epistle of James to address itself to Jews of the diaspora, whether Christian or not. Although few modern scholars have seriously reckoned with this possibility, much is to be said for the thesis. It makes sense for example of important features of the epistle that otherwise would remain unclear, such as its dearth of explicit Christology, its seeming lack of distinctive Christian sentiments, and its thoroughly Jewish orientation. The author was a Jewish Christian still hoping for a Christian place within the Jewish synagogue; he wished for irenic relations with those who did not confess Jesus to be the Messiah. He was thus intentionally quiescent about much for apologetical purposes, a strategy with clear parallels in other ancient Christian literature.Die Joodse agtergrond van die Jakobusbrief. Die Jakobusbrief is deur baie van die ouer kommentaarskrywers gesien as ’n selfverklarende geskrif aan die Jode van die diaspora – hetsy Christene of nie-Christene. Hoewel van die moderne navorsers heelhartig daarmee saamstem, bestaan daar heelwat twyfel oor hierdie siening. Dit maak egter sin ten opsigte van sekere belangrike beskrywings van die brief wat andersins onverklaarbaar sou wees soos die gebrek aan uitdruklike Christologie, die skynbare gebrek aan kenmerkende Christelike sentimente en die grondige Joodse oriëntering daarvan. Die skrywer was ’n Joodse Christen wat steeds gehoop het vir erkenning binne die Joodse sinagoge en versoenende verhoudings met diegene wat nie vir Jesus as die Messias erken het nie, verlang het. Dus was hy met voorbedagde rade baie stil oor baie dinge om apologetiese redes – ’n strategie wat duidelike parallelle met ander antieke Christelike literatuur toon.
A Case of Acute Fronto-Ethmoido-Orbital Mucocele
Authors: Sasindran Vivek , Joseph Antony , Moosankutty Sabah , Gautam Amol 
Published: May 2015

ABSTRACT
Mucoceles are thought to arise as a consequence of obstruction and inflammation. Frontoethmoidal mucocele can present with multiple symptoms that also include ophthalmic symptoms. Though benign, they have the tendency to expand by thinning the bony walls, displace and invade the surrounding structures by pressure and bony erosions. When it involves the orbit and expands, it may mimic benign growths primarily arising from orbit. We report an acute presentation of fronto-ethmoido-orbital mucocele as a result of hemorrhage into the mucocele.

Authors: Bhagwat Sumita , Hegde Sameeksha , Mandke Lalitagauri 
Published: May 2015

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are increasingly becoming a nuisance for dental professionals. Nearly, 2 million workers across the world suffer from MSDs each year, with dentists facing an increased risk of developing these ailments.
This study is an attempt to assess the risk of MSDs among dental professionals, and eventually to spread awareness regarding the importance of good posture and proper ergonomics.

Objectives
To determine the presence of MSDs among Indian dentists.

Materials and methods
A research survey was conducted among dental professionals practicing in and around Maharashtra state, India. The questionnaire for the study included a series of questions, when coupled with the rapid entire body assessment (REBA) scale, allows one to assess his/her posture during work and eventually determines the need to improve the same. Two hundred dentists completed the questionnaire given.

Result
The study revealed a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among dental professionals.

Conclusion
A relation was observed between the severity of the pain experienced by the dentists and their REBA score indicating that dentists with a higher REBA score need to adapt their working postures and employ proper ergonomics.

Lip Reconstruction using Karapandzic Flap
Authors: Singh Ranjit , Patel KN Abhinandan , Dandgi Satyajit 
Published: May 2015

ABSTRACT
The peroral region which consists of the upper and lower lip plays a vital role functionally, esthetically as well as anatomically. The post-surgical defects of peroral structures, especially the mid line defects of the lower lip, present a considerable challenge for reconstruction. Currently, reconstruction of peroral structures are done by using local, distant and free flaps. In our case, we have reconstructed a large midline defect of more than two thirds of the lower lip by using a karapandzic flap.

The Inner Structure of Pyramid and Capital Structure: Evidence from China
Authors: Su Kun 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
This paper examines the effects of the pyramid inner ownership structure of companies on capital structure in an emerging market economy country. The author uses firm-level panel data of Chinese listed companies to analyze the effects of the inner structure of pyramid on capital structure, and the differences in those effects between regions with different institutional environments. The results indicate that the longer the layers of a pyramid structure, the stronger its ‘leverage effect’, as well as the ultimate owner’s motivation to expand debt financing. Thus the layers of pyramid structure have a significantly positive effect on capital structure. However, the chains within a pyramid structure have no significant effect on capital structure. Compared with regions with poor institutional environment, in regions with a better institutional environment the effect of the layers of pyramid structure on capital structure becomes smaller.
Analysis of Effects of Agriculture Intervention Using Propensity Score Matching
Authors: Josephat Peter , Likangaga Rose 
Published: May 2015

Nowadays, the agriculture extension programmes are practiced in many parts of the world. There is a mixture of results about the effects of agriculture intervention programmes. The literature shows that the interventions are ineffective and have limited diffusion. On the other side, it shows that interventions are effective. Following different arguments about the effects of agriculture extension, this paper adopted Propensity Score Matching (PSM) to analyze the effects of District Agricultural Sector Investment Project (DASIP) using agriculture data. The study was conducted in rural Tanzania areas. It covered five regions namely Kagera, Mwanza, Mara, Simiyu and Kigoma. The study focused on agro-ecological zone where corn is cultivated. Two methods which are questionnaire administration and direct oral interview were used to collect primary data. The collection of data using the questionnaire was done from both participants (359) and non-participants (519). Before running the independent t test, the estimation of propensity score was done using Logistic regression. Thirteen confounding variables were used to estimate propensity scores.The effects of the intervention were analysed by considering four items namely the earnings from corn production, value of livestock owned, value of household assets owned, and value of farm assets owned. The results show that none of the four factors had significant result as the p values are greater than 0.05. This implies that the earning between farmers participating in DASIP are not significant different from those who do not participate in the programme. The study recommends that the group activities should last longer rather than changing them from time to time.

Authors: Blau Gary , Snell Corrine M. , Campbell Deborah , Viswanathan Krupa , Andersson Lynne M. , Lopez Andrea B. 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Professional development engagement (PDE) is the level of undergraduate engagement in professional development. Professional development (PD) is defined as “activities designed to help students prepare for a successful college-to-work transition.” This study tested a new 12-item measure of PDE for a complete-data sample of 437 undergraduate business students. The “did not use” response to an activity for each of the 10 CPDC items resulted in a surprisingly high aggregated loss of respondents. Results indicated that students who either never joined a student professional organization or never lived on or near Main Campus had a higher “did not use” response percentage.
