To the Source of Profession. Part One: The problems of Periodization of the Management History
Authors: Титов  , Titov Vladimir , Суханова  , Sukhanova Gulshat 
Published: October 2015

Knowing of the history of profession is the basis of career self-identifi cation. The authors off er a series of research devoted to the study of the origin and evolution
of such concepts as administration, management and HR-management. The fi rst part will study the problem of periodization of the history of management
as a science, practices and phenomenon. The following parts of the work draw special attention to the evolution of HR-manager as a profession.
The educational and scientifi c literature on the history of management off ers diff erent variants of periodization. Each scientist has his/her own views not only
onthe criteria of periodization or on the point of origin but on the methodology of periodization in general. In this paper the authors attempted to compare
diff erent approaches and identify key problem areas in the process of periodization of the evolution of management theory and practice.
Formalism in University Management
Authors: Белый  , Belyy V. , Макеева  , Makeeva Dina 
Published: October 2015

Improvement of the management of the University today is of great importance. Although the entire administrative staff in their work should be guided by job
descriptions that defi ne functional responsibilities of all University employees, some peculiarities of their activities are put to consideration on the basis of
practical experience.
Managing a University is quite a diffi cult task. This not only implies top managers’ ability to place personnel well, but also requires selecting capable and creative
leaders for subordinate levels of management. Special attention is necessary to prevent merely formalistic work of managers at all levels of management.
Today formalisticmanagement issues lack attention. This happens because it is diffi cult to separate positive and negative aspects of formalism. That is why
consideration of the issues raised is timely and relevant.
Higher Education As an Investment in Individual Human Capital
Authors: Сухова  , Sukhova E. , Сараева  , Saraeva N. 
Published: October 2015

In the present economic conditions it’s important to increase the effi ciency of investment in individual human capital. Higher education for students is an
investment in their human capital. Therefore, it is relevant to study the attitude of students to the learning process in the University, to identify factors that
reduce the eff ectiveness of learning, i.e. the process of investing. The authors developed two targeted questionnaires and conducted a survey of 141 student of
Samara state University of Economics. Analysis of results allowed to formulate and substantiate scientifi c recommendations for improving the eff ectiveness of
investments in human capital in the learning process at the University. It is necessary to activate self-training, to clearly structure and present information, to
use business games and debates, to praise for success, to positively treat the initiative of students.
The toxic lining of men’s fashion consumption: The omnipresent force of hegemonic masculinity
Authors: Barry Ben 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
While scholars have theorized about men’s motives for consuming fashion, few empirical studies have explored these theorizations against men’s lived experiences. A gap in knowledge exists between how scholars understand men’s fashion consumption and how men understand their fashion consumption. In this article, I examine men’s motives for consuming fashion based on individual interviews with 30 demographically diverse male consumers. Findings reveal that men are motivated to consume fashion because it provides benefits, including expressing identity, cultivating success and facilitating engagement. However, the pressures of body anxiety, exclusion and sartorial stress temper these positive outcomes. The common thread of hegemonic masculinity connect the various benefits and pressures that men experience when they engage in fashion. My research enhances knowledge about the operation of masculinity in consumer culture and the anxieties that men experience during the fashion consumption process. Menswear brands are advised to promote diverse masculine ideals in order to prevent negative business outcomes.
Nazi dress: Hitler’s storm troopers and appearance management, 1921–1933
Authors: Homberger Torsten , Bradley Linda Arthur 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Fascism defies an easy definition. However, scholars of fascism have long recognized the linkage between style and fascist politics as a starting point for historical investigation. Surprisingly, scholarship on fascism has, so far, largely ignored the use of uniforms as one of the most important similarities of fascists across Europe. To the general public and the trained historian alike, a cultural historical approach to the study of fascism focusing on fascist uniforms opens up routes of investigation that can lead to fascinating new insights into a historical field awash in a multitude of monographs and articles. Over the last decades political and social historians have described and analysed most major aspects of German fascism. Nevertheless, the picture cannot be considered complete. A focus on fascist uniforms, and thus cultural history, promises to round out the picture of the allure of German fascism. Drawing on theories established by scholars of fashion and uniforms, and employing historical evidence in the form of archival documentation regarding Nazi uniforms and public behaviour, this article proposes that, as the Nazis evolved from 1921 to 1933, they used their dress in the process of appearance management in order to influence their public perception as masculine and plebeian, yet also disciplined.
Algorithmic recognition of quasipositive 4-braids of algebraic length three
Authors: Orevkov Stepan Yu. 
Published: October 2015

AbstractWe give an algorithm to decide whether a given braid with four strings is a product of three factors which are conjugates of standard generators of the braid group. The algorithm is of polynomial time. It is based on the Garside theory. We give also a polynomial algorithm to decide if a given braid with any number of strings is a product of two factors which are conjugates of given powers of the standard generators (in my previous paper this problem was solved without polynomial estimates).
On the generic complexity of the searching graph isomorphism problem
Authors: Rybalov Alexander 
Published: October 2015

AbstractA generic-case approach to algorithmic problems was suggested by Myasnikov, Kapovich, Schupp and Shpilrain in 2003. This approach studies the behavior of an algorithm on typical inputs and ignores the rest of the inputs. In this paper we consider generic complexity of the searching graph isomorphism problem. We fit this problem in the frameworks of generic complexity and prove that its natural subproblem is generically hard provided that the searching graph isomorphism problem is hard in the worst case.

Authors: Schinazi Raymond F. , Sivets Grigorii G. , Detorio Mervi A. , McBrayer Tami R. , Whitaker Tony , Coats Steven J. , Amblard Franck 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The synthesis of new 2,6-disubstituted purine 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-difluoro-D-arabino nucleosides is reported. Their ability to block HIV and HCV replication along with their cytotoxicity toward Huh-7 cells, human lymphocyte, CEM and Vero cells was also assessed. Among them, β-2,6-diaminopurine nucleoside 25 and guanosine derivative 27 demonstrate potent anti-HIV-1 activity (EC50 = 0.56 and 0.65 μm; EC90 = 4.2 and 3.1 μm) while displaying only moderate cytotoxicity in primary human lymphocytes.
Fluorescent 1,2,3-triazole derivative of 3′-deoxy-3-azidothymidine: synthesis and absorption/emission spectra
Authors: Szafrański Przemysław W. , Kasza Patryk , Kępczyński Mariusz , Cegła Marek T. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
3′-Deoxy-3-azidothymidine (AZT, zidovudine) is a nucleoside-analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor, successfully used against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Its structure contains an azide function, which makes it a useful substrate for 1,2,3-triazole synthesis, using the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, the flagship reaction of ‘click chemistry’. Herein we present the synthesis and spectral characterization of its 1,2,3-triazole derivative containing a fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (fmoc) fluorescent fragment. The preparation and characteristics of a novel fluorescent probe, 9H-fluoren-9-ylmethyl prop-2-yn-1-yl carbonate (propargyl-fmoc) is also presented.
Ownership Concentration and Firm Performance in Transition Economies: Evidence from Montenegro
Authors: Kalezić Zorica 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The relationship between ownership concentration and firm performance has been the focal point of corporate governance literature and the subject of rather rich empirical literature. However, the current literature lacks uniformity and consensus regarding the nature and direction of this relationship. This research aims to contribute to this literature by investigating the relationship in a small and open transition economy of Montenegro.
We use primary data1 from the period 2004-2008 to analyse, for the first time, the impact of ownership concentration on firm performance in Montenegro. The results support the hypothesis that high ownership concentration enables effective monitoring by investors to protect their interests; i.e. in the specific circumstances of transition, ownership structure may be (temporarily) used as a viable substitute for the still underdeveloped corporate governance framework.
Study of CVD diamond layers with amorphous carbon admixture by Raman scattering spectroscopy
Authors: Dychalska Anna , Popielarski Piotr , Franków Wojciech , Fabisiak Kazimierz , Paprocki Kazimierz , Szybowicz Mirosław 
Published: October 2015

AbstractRaman spectroscopy is a most often used standard technique for characterization of different carbon materials. In this work we present the Raman spectra of polycrystalline diamond layers of different quality, synthesized by Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition method (HF CVD). We show how to use Raman spectroscopy for the analysis of the Raman bands to determine the structure of diamond films as well as the structure of amorphous carbon admixture. Raman spectroscopy has become an important technique for the analysis of CVD diamond films. The first-order diamond Raman peak at ca. 1332 cm−1 is an unambiguous evidence for the presence of diamond phase in the deposited layer. However, the existence of non-diamond carbon components in a CVD diamond layer produces several overlapping peaks in the same wavenumber region as the first order diamond peak. The intensities, wavenumber, full width at half maximum (FWHM) of these bands are dependent on quality of diamond layer which is dependent on the deposition conditions. The aim of the present work is to relate the features of diamond Raman spectra to the features of Raman spectra of non-diamond phase admixture and occurrence of other carbon structures in the obtained diamond thin films.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Organic materials are now being used in a wide range of microelectronic applications in parallel with inorganic materials, because of their superior properties, environmental safety, and low cost. This paper describes the characterization of Aloe vera gel (AVG), a new organic dielectric material. The surface morphology, spatial distribution of elements, and structural characteristics of an AVG layer were examined using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The resistance of the AVG layer, determined using a four-probe station, was 640 Ω EDX showed that the elements contained in the layer were carbon, oxygen, aluminum, silicon, calcium, potassium, and copper. The XRD results suggested that the sample primarily consisted of bornite (Cu5FeS4), geerite (Cu8S5), sal ammoniac (NH4Cl), and carobbite (KF).
Sampling parts of random integer partitions: a probabilistic and asymptotic analysis
Authors: Mutafchiev Ljuben 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Let λ be a partition of the positive integer n, selected uniformly at random among all such partitions. Corteel et al. (1999) proposed three different procedures of sampling parts of λ at random. They obtained limiting distributions of the multiplicity μn = μn(λ) of the randomly-chosen part as n → ∞. The asymptotic behavior of the part size σn = σn(λ), under these sampling conditions, was found by Fristedt (1993) and Mutafchiev (2014). All these results motivated us to study the relationship between the size and the multiplicity of a randomly-selected part of a random partition. We describe it obtaining the joint limiting distributions of (μn; σn), as n → ∞, for all these three sampling procedures. It turns out that different sampling plans lead to different limiting distributions for (μn; σn). Our results generalize those obtained earlier and confirm the known expressions for the marginal limiting distributions of μn and σn.
The “grammar” in Universal Grammar: A biolinguistic clarification
Authors: Trettenbrein Patrick C. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This short piece addresses the confusion over terminology that has reigned, and partly still reigns, when it comes to the concept of Universal Grammar (UG). It is argued that whilst there might be changes in terminology and theory, conceptually UG cannot be eliminated. From a biolinguistic perspective, UG is not a hypothesis by any rational epistemological standard, but an axiom. Along these lines, the contemporary evolutionary perspective on the language faculty (FL) is briefly discussed to then argue that UG is necessarily part of FL in both a narrow and broad sense. Ultimately, regardless of terminology, UG is inevitably one of the factors determining the growth of FL.
The Growing Family of Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies: Old and Newly Identified Members
Authors: Bastian Alexandra , Mageriu V. , Micu Gianina , Manole Emilia 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are an extremely heterogeneous and rapidly expanding group of diseases characterized by progressive weakness of pelvic, scapular and trunk muscles with sparing of facial and distal musculature in most of the subtypes, onset in childhood or in adults of both sexes, very variable clinical severity ranging from mild to severe phenotypes, some associated with cardio-pulmonary and extraskeletal impairment and high serum creatine-kinase (CK) levels. In the past years, huge advances have been recorded in the various identification methods and new distinct entities were discovered. However, it is not yet clear why some muscle groups are affected and others spared in a specific subtype of LGMD, why similar clinical pictures are associated with different genes and mutations, while the same gene or mutation may present with very various clinical phenotypes [1]. In this review we summarize the main aspects of positive and differential diagnosis in LGMD.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Background. Genetic polymorphism of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system affects the pathogenesis of hypertension (HTN), ischemic heart disease (IHD) and heart failure (HF). The purpose of our study is to analyze A/G renin genetic polymorphism in heart failure patients.
Methods. We investigated renin polymorphism in 83 subjects hospitalized in the Cardiology Department of the Rehabilitation Hospital Cluj-Napoca, using the PCR amplification method. 43 patients were diagnosed with heart failure [NYHA III-IV class], and 40 subjects without cardiovascular disease (control group). The NT-proBNP and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors were assessed.
Results. Heart failure etiology was IHD in 60.46 % of patients. The average value of NT-pro BNP was 2991.24 ± 2034.6 pg/ml. As it was expected, HF patients presented low lipid levels: total cholesterol = 162.36 ± 38.28mg/dl, LDL-Cholesterol = 104.88 ± 27.60mg/dl, triglycerides= 109.12 ± 55.84mg/dl, HDL-Co= 35.68 ± 9.55mg/dl. A/G renin genetic polymorphism [with pathogenic potential] in heart failure patients was of 60.46% (homozygote 4.65% and heterozygote 55.81%). Conversely, pathogenic mutations were found only in 38.46% of hypertensive patients, but also in 55.88% and 22.22% patients with obesity/overweight and diabetes. The heterozygote form was found in only 37.5% of control subjects.
Conclusion. This study showed no involvement of A/G renin polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of HF.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Background. Systemic sclerosis (Ssc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by cutaneous and visceral fibrosis and its pathogenesis is incompletely understood. T helper cells are key regulators of the immune response and they seem to be involved in Ssc clinical manifestations. The aim of the study is to determine key cytokines secreted by Th1 (IFN-γ), Th2 (IL-6) and Th17 (IL-17) in Ssc patients and correlate them with specific manifestations of Ssc patients.
Material and methods. 35 consecutive Ssc patients and 20 age and sex matched controls were recruited. Serum IL-17, IFN-γ and IL-6 were determined using ELISA method.
Results. Serum IL-17 and IL-6 levels were not significantly different in Ssc patients and controls. Serum IFN-γ levels were higher in Ssc patients when compared to controls. Higher serum IFN-γ levels associated with pulmonary hypertension. After adjusting for gender and age, IL-17 levels remained independently associated with some clinical manifestations of Ssc patients (telangiectasia and high activity score of Ssc).
Conclusion. Th17 and Th1 cell responses are active in Ssc patients as their cytokines associated with higher disease activity scores and pulmonary manifestations. Th17 and Th1 specific activity and homing within Ssc patients still needs to be defined and determined in order to target them as potential future therapeutic targets in Ssc patients.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Background and aims. Colon polypectomy decreases the incidence of colorectal cancer and related mortality. Several factors such as the size, location and type of polyp as well as endoscopist experience have been shown to correlate with the risk of ensuing procedure-related complications. This study aims to evaluate the impact of polyp and endoscopist-related factors on the rate of postpolypectomy complication in a real-life setting.
Methods. During the study period all polypectomies performed in our unit were reported on a standard form that included data on polyp type (flat, sessile, pedunculated), size, location in the colon, resection method, endoscopist volume and procedure-related complications arising up to 30 days. The main outcome was the complication rate of polypectomies. The factors that associated with a higher risk of complications were assessed on univariate and multivariate analysis.
Results. 244 polyp resections from 95 patients were included in the analysis. 199 polyps were resected by low-volume endoscopists (44.7%) and 135 polypectomies were performed by highvolume endoscopists (55.3%). On multivariate analysis only polyp size correlated with the risk of procedure-related complications.
Conclusion. Polyp size is the most important risk factor for procedure-related complications. Both high and low-volume endoscopists have a low overall rate of serious complications.
Four years Follow-up of Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Authors: Rusu F. , Dumitraşcu Dan L. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
There is little data on the long term evolution of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and of associated conditions. We therefore studied the evolution of IBS patients in a single tertiary center during a long interval of time.
Methods. We carried out a retrospective study based on the survey of patients records. We analyzed the records of symptoms, therapy, associated diseases, as consigned at follow-up visits for an interval of 4 years in average (2008-2011).
Results. A cohort of 114 patients with IBS diagnosed based on Rome III criteria were included (29 men and 85 women), age 19-85 years (mean age: 43.45 years). Urban patients were predominant. The main three symptoms were: abdominal pain, bowel disorders (constipation, diarrhea) and bloating. IBS - constipation (IBS - C) is associated with a favorable course of symptoms (increasing the number of stools, decrease intensity of abdominal pain and bloating) after treatment and IBS - diarrhea (IBS - D) is associated with variable symptoms after treatment (p = 0.031). Using trimebutin or mebeverin in association with other drugs for one month correlates with a favorable evolution of symptoms after treatment and monotherapy is associated with fluctuating symptoms ( p< 0.001). Favorable symptoms are associated with the use of probiotics in combination, but not in monotherapy (p< 0.001). Favorable evolution of symptoms is also associated with the use of anxiolytics in combination. Persistence of symptoms after treatment was correlated with the presence or absence of depression. The absence of depression was correlated with a favorable evolution of symptoms (p = 0.005). IBS-C is associated at limit (marginal significance) with hemorrhoidal disease (p = 0.56). 33 patients (29%) - received monotherapy (trimebutin or mebeverin or probiotics); 81 patients (71%) - received combined therapy: (trimebutin or mebeverin or probiotics) + anxiolytics or proton pump inhibitors (PPI) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAI) or spasmolitics. The most common associated diseases observed in patients with IBS were: depression (27.19%), dyslipidemia (25.43%), hemorrhoidal disease (22.80%) and fibromyalgia (21%).
Conclusions. The highest response rate was obtained with trimebutin or mebeverin + anxiolitics + probiotics. The most frequent disease associated with IBS was depression. Other diseases with a high incidence: dyslipidemia, hemorrhoidal disease and fibromyalgia. Further studies are needed to analyze the link between IBS and some associated diseases.
