Competency Model for Managers in Client-Oriented Economy
Authors: Пуляева  , Pulyaeva Valentina 
Published: May 2015

Current stage of development of economy and society is characterized by general customization, increasing role of consumers and their needs;and today only
those companies can lead the global fi erce competition which have unique intellectual resources. First of all, these resources include personnel competence. In
this regard, the modern theory of human resource management actively developsthe competency-based approach. However, the existing competency models
do not take into account all aspects of modern management and economy intellectualization, among which knowledge management has a special place due
to the dependence of quality of goods and services on managers’ skills; hence the competitiveness of the business as a whole depends on the knowledge of
managers at various levels.
This paper deals with the implementation of the principles of modern client-oriented management andoff ers the competency model for managers developed
by the author.The model meets the requirements of the new economy, in which the key role is played by professional knowledge and skills of employees in the
production of quality goods and services. This model is based on existing and proven developments in the fi eld of human resource management.The author
based the model on ”20 faces” model of manager’s competencies, but redesigned it completely, supplemented, extended and specifi ed levels of development
for each of the features in this model.
The proposed model can be an eff ective tool for human resource management and knowledge management in the transition to the production of goods and
services with high consumer value.

Bilingwizm w tekście zapisany
Authors: Ligara Bronisława

Bilingualism in text. Part 2. Transcodic markers. Genres.
The second part of this paper is a description of bilingual speech recorded in three aspects, the formal, the functional, and the one relating to genre studies. As a textual phenomenon, bilingual speech is characterized by transcodic markers, the traces of encounters between two languages: the matrix language L1 and the embedded language L2. The author introduces into the text linguistic correlates of his or her bilingual competence. These can take the shape of code switching, code mixing, or interference between L1 and L2. Coherence mechanisms, adequate to the various forms of transcodic markers, weld transcodic markers with the text in the matrix language formally and with regard to the content. These mechanisms are: grammatical rules of code switching, the matrix language frame, the local grammatical, syntactic, and semantic congruence of the two linguistic systems in contact, and also the local convergence between the elements and rules of L1 and L2. Transcodic markers are created by bilingual authors to fulfil specific roles in texts, most importantly, to enhance the referential potential and to (de)nominate the text by opening up the access to the universe of reference of L2. Other functions are the deictic function, the metacommunicative function, the function of rendering utterances that have originally arisen in L2, the polyphonic function, and also the function of transmitting strong emotions which are intimate to the sender. Transcodic markers are a transgression of the monolingual norm which is typically considered the standard in the creation of written texts. However, the analysis of recorded bilingual speech has shown that there exist genres which not only accept the introduction of transcodic markers into the text, but even actually sanction them. On the one hand, it is the literature of personal document with such genres as letter, journal, memoirs (autobiography), and on the other, linguistic mediation. In the former case, transcodic markers verbalize genre-specific features, the documentary quality and the personal element, as they are a linguistic – and thus authentic – testimony of the experience that the author has had in his or her L2, and has formed in that language. Being an inalienable part of the experience that is being related, the second language warrants an assertion of truth, documented and narrated through the given text with bilingual speech. Transcodic markers introduce senses and content that is complementary to the text in the matrix language, which is why, for a bilingual author, they are a factor that enriches his or her linguistic repertoire in the text that they are creating.
Le préfixoïde – un outil de description morphologique et élément du système de la langue française et polonaise
Authors: Fijałkowska Wanda 
Published: May 2015

Prefixoid – a descriptive tool in morphology, and an element of the systems of French and Polish
Based on Polish and French vocabulary, this paper proposes criteria which shall make it possible to differentiate between prefixoids and prefixes. There are three such criteria: 1. prefixoids have the capacity to become autonomous (and even to become bases in word formation), and are impossible to substitute in their semantic representation by native prefixes, or to be expanded into full lexemes; 2. lexemes are created together with suffixoids, showing that neither of them are just affixes; 3. in some cases, the position of suffixoids can vary with regard to the lexical element which co-forms the compound lexeme. It is for these reasons that these elements deserve their own place in the morphological description of, at least, Polish and French.

“How to strengthen our linguistics?” – Polish linguistics in the statements of scholars between 1918 and 1919
The Józef Mianowski Fund was a private institution that had systematically supported Polish scholars and their research since 1881, in the period when a Polish state did not exist. In 1917, it announced a questionnaire to determine, in the new political situation, the state and needs of various scientific disciplines studied in Poland and by Polish scholars in Europe. Collected from the answers of 90 scholars representing various disciplines, the results were meant to help direct the actions of the Fund in the country reborn after a period of partition. The paper presents the views of linguists Jan Rozwadowski, Kazimierz Nitsch, Stanisław Szober, and Aleksander Brückner, on the state of Polish linguistics of the time, and their proposals for research projects, needs in the area of scientific literature, organizational actions, and education of linguists and popularization of linguistics. Their articles show a realistic evaluation of the state of Polish linguistic science, and very clearly specified plans aimed at raising Polish linguistics to the European level.
Realizacja grup tš, dž w języku inteligencji wiejskiej (na przykładzie wsi podsądeckich)

Phonetic realization of the sequences tš and dž in the language of rural intelligentsia of villages near Nowy Sącz
The paper analyses the pronunciation of the variables (tš) and (dž) in the language of rural intelligentsia of three villages near Nowy Sącz, in official and casual speech. The discussed variables are realized by variants which can be grouped into two categories, 1) the so-called general Polish variants ([čš], [ǯž], [dž], [ṭš], [ḍž], and 2) dialectal variants ([č] and [ǯ]) which are inconsistent with the usage prescribed for general Polish. My research reveals that the use of a specific variant is determined by: the type of communicative situation (official vs. casual), socio-biological factors (gender, age, and social background), lexical and morphological conditions, and the attitude of the speaker towards the given type of pronunciation. The analysis has shown that the simplified realization of the sequences (tš) and (dž) are firmly established in the language of the majority of informants. However, in the younger generation, in official contacts, a growing trend can be observed for this type of pronunciation to regress.
Effectiveness of nurse-performed endoscopy in colorectal cancer screening: a systematic review
Authors: Joseph Jomon , Vaughan Rhys , Strand Haakan 
Published: May 2015

Background Bowel cancer is one of the most common and potentially preventable cancers. There is strong demand for bowel cancer screening programmes within the community. Nurses may play a vital role in the success of such programmes. Objective The review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-led endoscopy in colorectal cancer screening. Methods A systematic search of the literature identified 226 articles published in English between 1994 and 2012. Of these articles, six were included for analysis. Results Three outcome measures were identified, namely quality and safety, patient satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. Nurse-led endoscopy was comparable to physician-led endoscopy procedures with regards to indicators of quality and safety. Overall, greater patient satisfaction was reported with nurse-led endoscopy procedures and there was some evidence of improved cost-effectiveness. Conclusion Nurse-performed endoscopy appears to be as safe and effective as physician-performed endoscopy procedures in suitably selected patient populations. Further research and application of standardised training programmes and settings will be vital to ensuring ongoing safety and efficiency of nurse-led endoscopy.
Individual-level influences on journalists while reporting on Turkey-EU relations
Authors: Paksoy Alaaddin F. 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Many scholars have published a considerable amount of research to illustrate the representation of Turkey’s EU bid in the British and European media. No study has specifically focused on the views of the journalists who had written news items concerning Turkey’s EU bid. In addressing this lacuna in the extant literature, this article explores the journalists’ approach to Turkey and Turkey-EU relations, and looks at what influenced their writings. The data gathered from the journalists, working for the British media, are presented by employing the individual level of Shoemaker and Reese’s hierarchical model.

Published: May 2015

AbstractRadiostereometric analysis (RSA) is the gold standard evaluating micromovements after total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to investigate the migratory pattern of an uncemented femoral stem during the first 2 years after surgery. We followed 28 patients with a mean age of 57 (SD 13) years for the first two postoperative years. Radiostereometric analysis was used to measure the translation and rotation of the femoral component. The Harris hip score (HHS) was determined to evaluate the clinical outcome. No stem had to be revised. The mean HHS advanced from 35 (SD 11) preoperative to 89 (SD 10) 1 year after surgery. At the end of the observation period, mean subsidence of the stem was 0.26 mm (SD 0.82). Maximum total point motion (MTPM) was 1.23 mm (SD 1.22). The main distal migration took place up to 6 weeks after surgery with nearly no further subsidence up to 2 years postoperatively. All the measured migrations of the hip stem were very small. Results of the HHS demonstrate good clinical outcome. Long-term RSA is necessary to assess possible late migration of the Cerafit standard femoral stem.
Magnesium stents – fundamentals, biological implications and applications beyond coronary arteries
Authors: Bartosch Marco , Schubert Stephan , Berger Felix 
Published: May 2015

AbstractPermanent metallic stents have improved the treatment of diseases like coronary heart disease. Although superior to balloon angioplasty, the persistent presence of a metallic stent limits their application and yields several problems like late thrombosis, restenosis and chronic inflammation reactions. Biodegradable magnesium stents have been introduced to solve these problems. Additionally, in pediatric cardiology or for advanced applications like minimally invasively implanted tissue engineered heart valves, the use of degradable stents is mandatory for best success of the treatment. After implantation of a stent, the healing process starts in the vessel. In many cases, the stent is only needed during the initial phase of this process (up to around 6 months). When the stent is degraded, complete healing, return of vasomotion and growth of the vessel are possible. Several magnesium stents have been tested with promising results. However, there is still a huge demand in further research on new alloys and stent designs. Beside coronary stents, other applications should be addressed as well. A better understanding of the interaction between body and stent as well as correlating in vitro and in vivo degradation tests in a predictive manner are needed.
How to Measure Progress Towards Quality and Sustainability of Life?
Authors: Nováček Pavel , Mederly Peter 
Published: May 2015

AbstractThe vagueness of the concept of ‘sustainable development’ ceased to serve as a consensus platform and instead became a source of controversy. Therefore an instrument is needed to measure whether we are striving towards sustainable development or not. Today the most widely used indicator of economic prosperity is gross domestic product (GDP). It is often incorrectly interpreted as an indicator of quality of life. If, however, GDP is considered to be quality-of-life indicator, it is a misleading indicator as GDP does not cover the services people conduct outside the official market. As a result, environmentalists together with economists have long been cooperating in designing an alternative indicator capable of better capturing the development of society. Even though GDP is good for measuring economic performance, it is highly misleading as an indicator of the quality and sustainability of life. This article describes briefly the most relevant alternative indicators to GDP developed during last two decades including Czech and Slovak methodology of the Quality and Sustainability of Life Index.
Extraction of Lactic Acid in Mixed Solvent Electrolyte System Containing Water, 1-Butanol and Ammonium Sulfate

Published: May 2015

Abstract
Extraction of lactic acid from its aqueous solution was carried out at 30.0°C in a mixed solvent electrolyte system containing water, 1-butanol and ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4). The salt appeared to reduce mutual solubility between water and 1-butanol leading to an enlarged two-phase region of the mixture. The effect was more pronounced at high salt concentration. In view of extraction, ternary mixture containing water, 1-butanol and lactic acid, (NH4)2SO4 effectively salted-out 1-butanol and lactic acid leading to a reduced concentration of these two components in the aqueous phase. Distribution coefficient and degree of lactic acid extraction were significantly improved with increasing concentration of the salt. Additionally, (NH4)2SO4 helped lessen the transfer of one solvent into the other, which is the problem normally encountered in extraction when partially miscible solvents are employed. It also advantageously allowed the extraction to be carried out at a high solvent-to-aqueous phase volume ratio, where large recovery of the acid was achieved. Extraction of lactic acid in this mixed solvent electrolyte system could be further improved by operating it in a stage-wise mode rather than a batch one.

Levels and types of breaking the maxims: A neo-Gricean account of humor
Authors: Nemesi Attila L. 
Published: May 2015

AbstractOn the basis of examples drawn from seven classic Hungarian film comedies, I argue in this article that the place of humor within the Gricean–Leechian model needs to be revisited and extended towards social psychological pragmatics to account for a wider range of humorous material. Scrutinizing the relevant controversial details of Grice’s conceptual framework, my concern is to find a practical way of fitting the various forms of humor into an adequate (and not an idealistic) pragmatic theory. I propose to differentiate between two levels and five types of breaking the maxims, introducing the Self-interest Principle (SiP) supposed to be in constant tension with, and as rational as, Grice’s Cooperative Principle. Politeness and self-presentational phenomena are subsumed under the operation of the SiP which embraces and coordinates the speaker’s own personal and interpersonal purposes.
Asymptotic method for finding the coefficient of hydraulic resistance
in lifting of fluid on tubing
Authors: Aliev Fikret A. , Ismailov Nevazi A. , Namazov Atif A. 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
In this work the process of gas-lift in the oil production
is considered. The process is described by partial differential
equations of hyperbolic type. A small parameter is
introduced, which is the inverse of the well depth. Gas-lift
process is investigated behind the front of sound wave. The initial system of hyperbolic equations is
reduced to the nonlinear ordinary differential equation (NODE) of
the first order relatively to the gas volume and gas liquid
(GLM), which depends on the coordinates of wells and hydraulic
resistance coefficient (HRC). An asymptotic
solution of NODE is obtained
and this solution is calculated at the point. It is
shown that for the determination of HRC statistical
data of well is required (volume of injected gas at the wellhead of
the annular space and GLM at the end of lift (debit)). Then on the
basis of these results, by constituting the corresponding
functional, which is the quadratic deviation of the statistics and
calculated asymptotic solutions, the functional gradient is derived
that allows one to calculate HRC in first approximation relative to small parameter. An example for
the specific case from the practice shows that HRC in first approximation differs from the value on the order of
10-2 continuous case on the order of 10-1 in the discrete case.

AbstractIn this paper, performance analysis of high-speed superdense wavelength-division-multiplexing (SDWDM) optical add–drop multiplexer (OADM) optical ring network for 6 nodes, 45 wavelengths having channel spacing of 0.2 nm on 300 km unidirectional nonlinear single-mode fiber ring of 10 Gbit/s has been reported. The performance optimization of the system by comparing different modulation formats has been reported on the basis of eye diagram and bit error rate (BER). It has been reported that CSRZ modulation format can achieve BER as better as e-24, which gives best performance. This paper also presents a study of performance degradation caused by the crosstalk and the effect of channel spacing on SWDM system.
Rethinking the FIFA World Cup™ final draw
Authors: Guyon Julien 
Published: May 2015

AbstractWe critically examine a number of flaws in the current procedure for the final draw of the FIFA World Cup™: imbalance (the eight groups are not of the same competitive level), unfairness (some teams have a greater chance than others of ending up in a tough group), and uneven distribution (all the possible outcomes of the draw are not equally likely). These flaws result from the way FIFA has decided to enforce the geographic constraints that they put on the draw. We explain how, by building eight pots by level organized in an S-curve, and drawing first a continental distribution of the groups and then the teams, we can enforce the geographic constraints without sacrificing balance, fairness, and even distribution. As a result, we describe a new tractable draw procedure that produces eight balanced and geographically diverse groups, is fair to all teams, and gives equally likely outcomes.

Published: May 2015

Abstract
In this work, a hydrogen fueled dual-mode scramjet combustor was investigated experimentally. Clean and dry air was supplied to the combustor through a Mach 2 Nozzle with a total temperature of 800 K and a total pressure of 800 kPa. The high enthalpy air was provided by an electricity resistance heater. Room temperature hydrogen was injected with sonic speed from injector orifices vertically, and downstream the injector a tandem cavity flame holder was mounted. Except wall pressure profiles, velocity and temperature profiles in and at exit of the combustor were also measured using hydroxyl tagging velocimetry (HTV) and tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) respectively. Results showed that combustion occurred mainly at the bottom side of the combustor. And there were also an extreme disparity of the velocity and temperature profiles along the Y direction, i.e. the transverse direction.
