Анджей Вавринюк, Східні межі і обмін прикордонних територій Польщі і СРСР в 1951 р.
В 1951 році Союз Радяньських Соціалістичних Республік зажадав від Польщі передати 480 км2 територій, що належали до Грубешівського і Томашевського повітів. Взамін українці повинні були отримати нафтоносні і газоносні поклади в Бещадах. Фактично переданими були землі, на яких розміщувалась величезні поклади кам’яного вугілля, про які було відомо ще в 30-х роках XX ст. Польща ж збагатилась покладами нафти і газу в Східних Карпатах, що належали до Дрогобицького округу. Значну частину роботи було присвячено представленню робіт і процедур, пов’язаних з підго товкою польських територій до передання СРСР. Також я обговорюю роботу делімітаційної комісії при визначенні нового польсько-радянського кордону. У останній частині статті я презентую неопубліковані матеріали, що стосуються нових вимог СРСР відносно передання їм нових територій, між іншим з повіту Грубешовського, площею від 1250-1300 км2. Взамін Польщі було запропоновано залізничну лінію Хирів – Доброміл, а також багаті на нафту і газ території в Карпатах.

Audiovisual Use of Interactive Whiteboard
Using audiovisual aids in the classroom not only gives an opportunity for the students to learn in a more pleasant way, but also provides means for addressing numerous aspects and skills in teaching a foreign language. The use of Interactive Whiteboards is spreading rapidly in the recent years. Interactive Whiteboards offer a possibility of a more interesting and modern use of the audiovisual techniques, so they are becoming an invaluable tool for a teacher. This is why it is so important for us, teachers, to learn how to make the best use of this tool during our classes. This article presents briefly the advantages of Interactive Whiteboards and the use of audiovisual aids in teaching. Moreover, it shows some techniques and examples ready to be introduced in the classroom, all of them extracted from classes of Spanish as a foreign language.
Interferencias de otras lenguas observadas en estudiantes polacos de filología española

Other Languages Interference in Polish Speaking Students of Spanish Philology
Although a lot has been written about the interference of other languages different from the mother tongue in learning a new foreign language, the observation of the signs of this phenomenon in a specific group of students may still lead to interesting conclusions. A study on other languages interference performed in 2011 regarding students attending the 1st course of Spanish Philology at the Jagiellonian University, has revealed an important change in the characteristics of this group of learners in comparison to the one analysed in 2003. The evolution may be attributed to the change in the political situation of the country in the international arena and also to the politics of education in Poland. Besides, it has been proved that for the correct interpretation of the data, it is essential to take into consideration the whole context of the study, i.e. not only the languages learned before, but also those studied simultaneously. Another key factor is the number of languages known by the investigator himself. The samples of interference gathered during the study can be discussed in order to find the possible ways to prevent this phenomenon before it occurs.

What Do I Owe to Ernesto Cardenal
The author is tracking down a peculiar trend in the poetry of Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal, which matches two traditionaly opposing ideas: the Christian doctrine and the communist ideology within the so called “liberation theology”. The paper points out the inventive and revolutionary nature of the marriage of ideas present in the political poetry of Cardenal.
Human Herpesvirus 8–Unrelated Primary Effusion Lymphoma–Like Lymphoma
Authors: Wu William , Youm Wonita , Rezk Sherif A. , Zhao Xiaohui 
Published: July 2013

AbstractObjectives:To report a patient with primary effusion lymphoma who was negative for human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8), human immunodeficiency virus, Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis C virus, and hepatitis B virus, as well as review 54 reported cases of HHV-8–unrelated primary effusion lymphoma (PEL)–like lymphoma in the literature to clarify the nature of this entity.Methods:The patients’ characteristics, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, morphologic-immunophenotypic features, clinical management, and prognosis were studied.Results:HHV-8–negative PEL-like lymphomas often occur in immunocompetent and elderly patients, are sometimes associated with chronic inflammation–related fluid overload, are mostly large B-cell or large B-cell with plasmacytic differentiation type, and are associated with a better prognosis.Conclusions:In various aspects, HHV-8–unrelated PEL-like lymphoma is a different entity from HHV-8–related PEL. Immunophenotype, morphology, and c-myc/8q24 status should be included for differential diagnosis. A test for c-myc or 8q24 abnormalities should be recommended for subdividing HHV-8–unrelated PEL-like lymphoma, which may have benefits in patient management.

Published: July 2013

Abstract

Objectives:
To develop a new method for gastric cancer detection with gastric juice using melanoma-associated gene (MAGE) RNA and pepsinogen (PG).

Methods:
In total, 183 gastric juice and paired serum specimens were obtained from 134 patients with gastric cancer and 49 healthy individuals. The gastric juice specimens were analyzed with MAGE A1 to A6 nested reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. The serum and gastric juice PG were measured with a PG I and II immunoassay.

Results:
The gastric juice PG I and PG I/II ratios were more accurate than those of serum. The combination test using the gastric PG I/II ratio and MAGE was the most accurate, with a sensitivity of 77.6% and a specificity of 87.8%. The sensitivity was 78.8% for stage I gastric cancer and not influenced by cancer location or pathologic type.

Conclusions:
The combination test is potentially an additional tool for gastric cancer detection.
Mesolithic Cave Use in Greece and the Mosaic of Human Communities
Authors: Galanidou Nena 
Published: July 2013

This paper discusses the Greek Mesolithic record in the light of refinements to the international calibration curve and recent archaeological research. Central to the discussion are the time frame used for this period of Greek prehistory, and the diagnostic potential, or visibility, of Mesolithic stone tools. Rather than offering a comprehensive account of Mesolithic sites across Greece, this study focuses on a few known cave sites in the northwest, in order to bring out some less pronounced aspects of their material record. Close and comparative examination of their radiocarbon dates, and traits of continuity and change in the lithic industries, highlights a regional pattern. At some sites, occupation extended into the Holocene, but there is little or no contrast to the preceding, late Upper Palaeolithic technological traditions. A working hypothesis to account for the geographic, temporal and cultural diversity of early Holocene sites and finds in Greece is thus spelled out. It is proposed that the Greek Mesolithic record is the manifestation of a mosaic of human groups, of
different origins and cultural traditions, subsisting on a variety of resources and living in different regions, at different times and seasons of the early Holocene.
Interacting generalized ghost dark energy in a non-flat universe
Authors: Ebrahimi Esmaeil , Sheykhi Ahmad , Alavirad Hamzeh 
Published: July 2013

AbstractWe investigate the generalized Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) ghost model of dark energy in the framework of Einstein gravity. First, we study the non-interacting generalized ghost dark energy in a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) background. We obtain the equation of state parameter, w D = p/ρ, the deceleration parameter, and the evolution equation of the generalized ghost dark energy. We find that, in this case, w D cannot cross the phantom line (w D > −1) and eventually the universe approaches a de-Sitter phase of expansion (w D → −1). Then, we extend the study to the interacting ghost dark energy in both a flat and non-flat FRW universe. We find that the equation of state parameter of the interacting generalized ghost dark energy can cross the phantom line (w D < −1) provided the parameters of the model are chosen suitably. Finally, we constrain the model parameters by using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method and a combined dataset of SNIa, CMB, BAO and X-ray gas mass fraction.
Quantum corrections to ϕ 4 model solutions and applications to Heisenberg chain dynamics
Authors: Kwiatkowski Grzegorz , Leble Sergey 
Published: July 2013

AbstractThe Heisenberg spin chain is considered in ϕ 4 model approximation. Quantum corrections to classical solutions of the one-dimensional ϕ 4 model within the correspondent physics are evaluated with account of rest d-1 dimensions of a d-dimensional theory. A quantization of the model is considered in terms of spacetime functional integral. The generalized zeta-function formalism is used to renormalize and evaluate the functional integral and quantum corrections to energy in a quasiclassical approximation. The results are applied to appropriate conditions of the spin chain model and its dynamics, for which elementary solutions, energy and the quantum corrections are calculated.
The usefulness of Decision Support Systems in participatory forest planning: a comparison between Finland and Italy
Authors: De Meo I. , Ferretti F. , Hujala T. , Kangas A. 
Published: July 2013

Aim of study: Participation of stakeholders is considered an essential element in producing, at different spatial and temporal scales, forest plans accepted by local community and fulfilling the requirements of Sustainable Forest Management. Increasingly, computer-based decision support systems (DSS) and tools are being introduced to assist stakeholders and decision-makers in coping with the complexities inherent in participatory forest planning. The study aimed to investigate how useful the users and researchers see DSS tools and which opportunities they perceive DSS might carry for enhancing participatory forest planning in their field of activity.Area of study: 15 Italian and Finnish researchers and practitioners were interviewed.Material and Methods: Face-to-face structured interviews were used to collect opinions and experiences. Quantitative and qualitative information were analyzed to investigate differences between Italian and Finnish respondents as well as between researchers and practitionersMain results: Results showed that in Italy there has been more focus on forest-level and medium-term problems and the intelligence phase, while in Finland there has been more attention to region-level and long-term problems and equally intelligence, design, and choice phases of decision-making. Deviations probably reflect different planning contexts and culture, variability in experiences and expertise in DSS and in availability of suitable DSS.Research highlights: The study suggests to pay attention to evaluating the success criteria of participatory planning when preparing for the use of DSS and related tools in practical forest planning processes. Experience sharing is a key to reaching more successful use of DSS.Keywords: computer-based decision support; participatory processes; spatial scale; success criteria; temporal scale; users' perception.
L’interdisciplinarité comme indiscipline
Authors: Capitant Sylvie 
Published: July 2013

La pratique interdisciplinaire est une pratique quotidienne du chercheur qui le conduit à cheminer par des contre-allées, à prendre de la distance par rapport à son corpus disciplinaire de référence et à interroger la fragilité des frontières. Cela demande parfois de l’indiscipline et suscite des moments de frilosité scientifique. Cet article soutient ce cheminement indiscipliné en revenant sur trois actes d’indisciplinarité menés au cours d’une recherche sur les médias au Burkina Faso et qui se sont avérés d’une grande portée : remise en cause de la relégation à la périphérie de la sociologie de la communication de l’étude des médias en Afrique ; adoption d’une méthode anthropologique et recours à la sociolinguistique pour faire parler les matériaux de recherche.
Les paradoxes du patrimoine
Authors: Leblon Anaïs 
Published: July 2013

L’auteure interroge les relations conflictuelles et la dialectique entre des définitions institutionnelles et des usages locaux du patrimoine à partir de l’étude ethnographique de l’« espace culturel du yaaral et du degal », festivités de transhumance peules du delta intérieur du Niger au Mali déclarées « chefs-d’oeuvre du patrimoine oral et immatériel de l’Humanité par l’UNESCO » en novembre 2005, et inscrites sur à la Liste représentative du patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’humanité par l’UNESCO en 2008. C’est par une variation des jeux d’échelles, une étude des paradoxes, et des enjeux de pouvoir que ces fêtes sont étudiées. L’article présente d’abord la construction patrimoniale de l’« espace culturel du yaaral et du degal » par la Direction Nationale du Patrimoine Culturel (DNPC) au regard des définitions internationales du patrimoine culturel immatériel promues par l’UNESCO et de la politique culturelle malienne. Il propose ensuite une définition endogène de la patrimonialisation et de ses présentations publiques à la lumière d’un exemple sur les compétitions pastorales. Ces dernières illustrent la manière dont des éléments culturels peuvent se trouver pris dans un double processus de création patrimoniale et de transmission d’un idéal pastoral recréé. Pour finir, l’étude d’un conflit pour le poste de chef des éleveurs pose la question de la gestion patrimoniale des enjeux pastoraux locaux. La lecture patrimoniale de ces fêtes renvoie alors à une analyse du champ politique.
Conservative Approach to Tardive Dyskinesia–Induced Neck and Upper Back Pain
Authors: Reifsnyder Jeremy W. , Tettambel Melicien A. 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
The management of schizophrenia typically involves the use of antipsychotics (neuroleptics). Use of such medications, however, can result in tardive dyskinesia, or the involuntary contracture of muscles, and associated symptomatic somatic dysfunction. The authors present a case of a 29-year-old woman who presented to a family medicine clinic for ongoing management of schizophrenia with noticeable tardive dyskinesia and complaints of neck and upper back pain. Conventional management of tardive dyskinesia involves either a change in or reduction of the offending antipsychotic. In the present case, the patient received osteopathic manipulative treatment in addition to conventional care for the management of her neck and upper back pain. Although not curative, osteopathic manipulative treatment can provide palliative relief for patients with tardive dyskinesia.

AbstractPrader–Willi syndrome (PWS), a complex genetic disorder, arises from suppressed expression of paternally inherited imprinted genes on chromosome 15q11‐q13. Characteristics include short stature, intellectual disability, behavioral problems, hypogonadism, obesity, and reduced bone and muscle mass. Testosterone replacement (TR) remains controversial due to concerns regarding behavioral problems. To evaluate the effects of TR on secondary sexual characteristics, body composition, and behavior in adult males with PWS, 22 male PWS patients over the age of 16 with behavioral scores of less than grade 4 on the Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS) underwent monthly intramuscular TR (125 mg). Pubertal change, body composition and behavior were evaluated before and after 24 months of therapy. Serum testosterone, LH, and FSH did not change. Increased pubic hair was observed in 16 of 22 patients (72.7%). Percent body fat decreased from 47.55 ± 2.06% to 39.75 ± 1.60% (n = 18) (P = 0.018). Bone mineral density increased from 0.8505 ± 0.0426 g/cm2 to 0.9035 ± 0.0465 g/cm2 (n = 18) (P = 0.036), and lean body mass increased from 18093.4 ± 863.0 g to 20312.1 ± 1027.2 g (n = 18) (P = 0.009). The MOAS was unchanged, from 4.5 ± 2.0 at the beginning of the study to 3.0 ± 1.7 at the end of study indicating no increase in aggression. No behavioral problems were observed. Based on this pilot study, TR with 125 mg monthly is a potentially safe and useful intervention for adult males with PWS. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTSnyder–Robinson syndrome is a rare form of X‐linked intellectual disability caused by mutations in the spermine synthase (SMS) gene, and characterized by intellectual disability, thin habitus with diminished muscle mass, osteoporosis, kyphoscoliosis, facial dysmorphism (asymmetry, full lower lip), long great toes, and nasal or dysarthric speech. Physical signs seem to evolve from childhood to adulthood. We describe the first Italian patient with Snyder–Robinson syndrome and a novel nonsense mutation in SMS (c.200G>A; p.G67X). Apart from the typical features of the syndrome, the index patient presented with an ectopic right kidney and epilepsy from the first year of age that was characterized by focal motor seizures and negative myoclonus. The clinical and molecular evaluation of this family and the review of the literature expand the phenotype of Snyder–Robinson syndrome to include myoclonic or myoclonic‐like seizures (starting even in the first years of life) and renal abnormalities in affected males. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Using grape pulp as a new alternative biosorbent for removal of a model basic dye
Authors: Sayğılı Hasan , Akkaya Sayğılı Gülbahar , Güzel Fuat 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTIn the present study, grape pulp (GP), an agricultural waste available in large quantity in Turkey, was utilized as novel low‐cost biosorbent to remove model basic dye [methylene blue (MB)] from aqueous solution by biosorption. The effects of various parameters including solution pH, biosorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, contact time, temperature and ionic strength on the biosorption process were investigated. The biosorption kinetic data were modeled using the pseudo‐first‐order, pseudo‐second‐order and intraparticle diffusion kinetic equations. Batch kinetic experiments showed that the biosorption fitted the pseudo‐first‐order kinetic model well with correlation coefficients greater than 0.98 in the temperature range 20–60 °C. The equilibrium biosorption data were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The results indicated that the Langmuir model provided the best correlation with the experimental data. The maximum biosorption capacities of GP for MB determined with the Langmuir model (qm) were 78.74, 116.28 and 153.85 mg g−1 at temperatures of 20, 40 and 60 °C, respectively. The calculated thermodynamic parameters, namely, ΔG0 (−5.33 to −7.17 kJ/mol), ΔH0 (8.09 kJ/mol) and ΔS0 (45.75 kJ/mol K), showed that the biosorption of MB on GP was spontaneous and endothermic under examined conditions. Results indicate that GP could be an alternative for more costly adsorbents used for MB removal. © 2013 Curtin University of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Fabrication and characterization of electrospun sulfonated poly(phthalazinone ether ketone) mats as potential matrix of reinforced proton exchange membranes
Authors: Hongwei Zhang , Fei Yu , Danying Zuo 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTIn this paper, the sulfonated poly(phthalazinone ether ketone) (SPPEK) nanofibers with low sulfonation degree are fabricated by electrospinning for the first time. The optimized concentration of SPPEK for electrospinning is 0.16 g ml−1 and the suitable solvent is the mixture of DMAc and NMP. The resulting SPPEK nanofibers show smooth surfaces and uniform diameters of about 50 nm. Proton conductivities of the SPPEK mat and membrane are tested and compared. The result indicates that the proton conductivity of the SPPEK mat is almost five times as high as that of the SPPEK membrane because of the formation of long‐range proton pathways on the surfaces of SPPEK nanofibers. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The polymer free volume as a controlling factor for drug release from poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) microspheres
Authors: Scheler Stefan 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTDrug release from poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres is strongly determined by the pore structure of the particles. This study examines how swelling‐induced pore constriction delays the drug release and by which factors this process is controlled. Combination of different porosimetric and pycnometric methods enabled insight into the submicroscopic range of the pore structure and revealed that remarkably the polymer free volume plays a crucial role in drug release from PLGA microspheres. Surprisingly, the latter was shown to be inversely correlated to the degree of diffusional drug release. This can be explained by a swelling‐induced constriction of the macroporous channel system in the microspheres which is related to the availability of free volume. The hole free volume was shown to be well controllable by the manufacturing conditions. Thus, the study deepens comprehension of the mechanism of drug release from biodegradable microparticles and offers an effective approach for controlling the release behavior. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Imaging techniques for visualizing and phenotyping congenital heart defects in murine models
Authors: Liu Xiaoqin , Tobita Kimimasa , Francis Richard J.B. , Lo Cecilia W. 
Published: July 2013

AbstractMouse model is ideal for investigating the genetic and developmental etiology of congenital heart disease. However, cardiovascular phenotyping for the precise diagnosis of structural heart defects in mice remain challenging. With rapid advances in imaging techniques, there are now high throughput phenotyping tools available for the diagnosis of structural heart defects. In this review, we discuss the efficacy of four different imaging modalities for congenital heart disease diagnosis in fetal/neonatal mice, including noninvasive fetal echocardiography, micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT), micro‐magnetic resonance imaging (micro‐MRI), and episcopic fluorescence image capture (EFIC) histopathology. The experience we have gained in the use of these imaging modalities in a large‐scale mouse mutagenesis screen have validated their efficacy for congenital heart defect diagnosis in the tiny hearts of fetal and newborn mice. These cutting edge phenotyping tools will be invaluable for furthering our understanding of the developmental etiology of congenital heart disease.
