Cato Jaramillo’s (Un-)“True Story” of Holocaust Survival
Authors: Arich-Gerz Bruno 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Taking its cue from the debunking of Binjamin Wilkomirski’s Holocaust memoirs Bruchstucke as a fake and the resultant problem of categorizing it generically, the article focuses on Cato Jaramillo’s equally questionable US-autobiography Too Stubborn to Die: A Child of Nordhausen about the alleged survival of the Nazi concentration camp Mittelbau-Dora. The reconstruction of the Wilkomirski case’ illustrates how the demasking of Bruchstucke in 1998 at the same time uncovers the text’s resemblance with fairy tales, and as such provides the reading strategy for the analysis of Jaramillo’s “True Story” (subtitle): A detailed investigation provides evidence of its missing authenticity - which has so far remained unnoticed in literary or cultural studies - and reveals its Hänsel und Gretel subtext. The discovery of both the story’s fictitiousness and its fairy tale elements helps to demonstrate how the text as a whole splits into a victimized-child and a perpetrator- adult part: It is at once a narrative of suffering and of imaginary sadism whose focalization exhibits both the Hänsel and Gretel and the witch’s point of view.

Published: May 2014

Abstract
Structural and microstructural parameters of seven kidney stones (UKS1–UKS7) retrieved from patients of eastern India were investigated using FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray powder diffractometry. Quantitative phase analysis of kidney stones was performed following the Rietveld method. Crystallite sizes and thermal stability were evaluated from the X-ray peak-broadening analysis and thermogravimetric study. Rietveld analysis of X-ray powder diffraction data indicates that kidney stones are a mixture of phases with whewellite as the major constituent in UKS1–UKS4 and UKS7, whereas the major phase in UKS5 and UKS6 is anhydrous uric acid. The crystallite size of whewellite phase in stones with more than 50 wt% of whewellite (UKS1-UKS4 and UKS7) varies from 149(5) to 182(1) nm, whereas the corresponding sizes of uric acid crystallites in stones with more than 50 wt% of uric acid (UKS5 and UKS6) are 163(2) and 190(3) nm, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) of UKS1 reveals that whewellite is stable upto 400 K and above this temperature anhydrous calcium oxalate is formed, which tranforms into calcium carbonate at 750 K and finally to calcium oxide above 970 K. The kidney stone UKS5 with more than 90 wt% of uric acid is stable upto 708 K.

Published: May 2014

Abstract
In this work the nature of the substitution process in the
electrochemical deposition of different 4-substituted benzene layers
on Au and the influence of the solvent were studied. We monitored the
deposition from the corresponding isolated salt diazonium salts and
via the “in solution diazotation” process where the diazonium salt
is created just before the deposition process by means of amine and
nitrite. Infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements proved the
presence of the various substituted benzene groups on the
surfaces. Quantitative studies using electrochemical quartz crystal
microbalance technique showed a decrease in the deposited organic
layer thickness and the faradaic efficiency of the electrochemical
process with the size of the 4-substituent. As consequence nature of
the substituent in the 4-position was the dominating factor for
thickness of the deposited benzene layer and the faradaic
efficiency. Additionally, there was also a strong increase in the
thickness of the deposited benzene layer by changing the solvent from
aqueous sulphuric acid to acetonitrile pointing to a stabilization of
the radical intermediates during reduction of the diazonium salt by
acetonitrile. This in turn led to faradaic efficiencies of about
80%–90% for the grafting process in acetonitrile and
only 15% in the aqueous acidic solution.
Are nurse presenteeism and patient safety culture associated: a cross-sectional study

Published: May 2014

Abstract
Working as a nurse involves great dedication and sacrifice: working night shifts, working overtime, and coming to work sick. The last is also known as presenteeism. Research has shown that poor nurse performance can affect both caregiver’s and patient’s safety. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate whether nurse presenteeism affected patient safety culture and to look deeper into the characteristics of nurse presenteeism and patient safety culture in Croatia. The study was conducted in one general hospital in Croatia over April and May 2012 and specifically targeted medical nurses as one of the largest groups of healthcare professionals. They were asked to fill two questionnaires: the six-item Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6) and the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC). We found no association between presenteeism and patient safety culture. Overall positive perception of safety was our sample’s strength, but other dimensions were positively rated by less than 65 % of participants. The lowest positive response concerned “nonpunitive response to error”, which is consistent with previous studies. Presenteeist nurses did not differ in their characteristics from nurses without presenteeism (gender, age, years of experience, working hours, contact with patients and patient safety grades). Our future research will have to include a broader healthcare population for us to be able to identify weak spots and suggest improvements toward high-quality and cost-effective health care.
A new species of lambdarina (rhynchonellida, brachiopoda) from the viséan of central sudetes (Poland) and its phylogenetic position
Authors: Muszer Jolanta 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
A new species of micromorphic articulate brachiopod (Rhynchonellida) Lambdarina jugowiensis sp. nov., from the upper Visean (Sokolec Beds) of central Sudetes, SW Poland, is described. The studied specimens are calcified, what makes them unique in respect of their state of preservation. The material is represented by a full range of growth stages; from brephic to gerontic. Based on its morphological features and the palaeogeographical distribution of all its known species, two main evolutionary lines are proposed for the genus; the Australian and the European ones. Lambdarina was widely distributed in the equatorial-tropical waters of marginal seas of the Palaeotethys Ocean, mostly during Mississippian time.
Non-volant modes of migration in terrestrial arthropods
Authors: Reynolds Don R. , Reynolds Andrew M. , Chapman Jason W. 
Published: May 2014

AbstractAnimal migration is often defined in terms appropriate only to the ‘to-and-fro’ movements of large, charismatic (and often vertebrate) species. However, like other important biological processes, the definition should apply over as broad a taxonomic range as possible in order to be intellectually satisfying. Here we illustrate the process of migration in insects and other terrestrial arthropods (e.g. arachnids, myriapods, and non-insect hexapods) but provide a different perspective by excluding the ‘typical’ mode of migration in insects, i.e. flapping flight. Instead, we review non-volant migratory movements, including: aerial migration by wingless species, pedestrian and waterborne migration, and phoresy. This reveals some fascinating and sometimes bizarre morphological and behavioural adaptations to facilitate movement. We also outline some innovative modelling approaches exploring the interactions between atmospheric transport processes and biological factors affecting the ‘dispersal kernels’ of wingless arthropods

Authors: Grama Lavinia , Muntean Daniela-Lucia , Curticăpean A 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Background: Polyanions are a special category of coordination compounds with a large development in last years. By coordination of metal oxoions at the lacunary polyoxometalates are obtained new compounds which are studied for theirs possible antitumoral and antiviral activities. The polyoxometalates can bind cations by oxygen atoms from their saturated surface structure or by embedding in vacant sites.
Material and method: The methods used for determining cation coordination with the unsaturated polyoxotungstate are spectrophotometry and conductometry. The solutions used in this study were: for ligand a solution of K27[KAsW40O140] and for cation a solution of K2[PtCl6]. The variation of electrical conductivity of ionic species found in solution, caused by their concentrations, decreases during the complex formation, which was determined by conductometry. The spectrophotometric assay was performed to verify ratios between cation:ligand combination, determined by conductometry.
Results: The graphical representations of conductivity function of number of moles of added titrant solutions emphasize that there are two types of coordination compounds with two different combination ratios ligand:cation at 1:2 or 1:4. The spectrophotometric determination performed, confirmed these ratios.
Conclusions: There are two types of coordination complexes, and the ligand:cation ratios are well known for encrypting polyoxotungstates type used in the study. Besides the main active position SC where K+ alkaline cation is coordinated, it has four active stand side S1-4, which can coordinate metal cations, depending on the size of their cationic radius and the electronic charge they hold.
Assessment of Ventricular Dissynchrony in Right Ventricular Single Chamber Pacing using Echocardiografic Parameters
Authors: Vita I , Mitre Adriana , Dobreanu D 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Background: Right ventricular apical pacing has been used since the early years of pace-makers, despite the fact that it determined nonphysiological ventricular depolarization. As medical technologies developed, septal lead implantation became feasible, in order to outrun the above mentioned inconveniences. The question whether the apical or septal lead position is better still gives rise to a lot of controversies. Different echocardiographic parameters are currently used to assess the impact of specific sites of stimulation on ventricular function. The aim of the study was to determine which of the followed synchronicity parameters varied significantly during apical stimulation, compared to septal stimulation in patients requiring single chamber pacing.
Material and method: Fifty-nine patients admitted between January 1st - December 31st 2012 either for battery replacement or for first implant of a single chamber pace-maker were included in this prospective study. Thirty-eight of them had the lead placed in the apex of the right ventricle and 21 on the interventricular septum. All were subjected to echocardiografic examination after device implantation. Measurements included complete chamber and valvular assessment, apart from the synchronicity evaluation, that comprised interventricular mechanical delay (IVMD), septal to posterior wall delay (SPWMD) and electro systolic delays (ESD), in order to assess the presence and compare the relevance of interventricular and intraventricular dissyncrony. All the investigations were in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
Results: Although preejection times were significantly different, there were no statistically significant differences (p = 0.06) between the values of IVMD in the two groups, as well as regarding the longitudinal intraventricular dyssynchrony expressed by ESD. Significant differences appeared though, between the values of SPWMD, reflecting the fact that radial intraventricular dissyncrony is present in apical stimulation.
Conclusions: During apical right ventricular pacing, radial intraventricular dissyncrony appears, while in the case of septal pacing this parameter is close to normal. Surprisingly, although right ventricular pacing determines interventricular and longitudinal intraventricular dissincrony, we found no significant differences in this respect, between apical and septal pacing.

Published: May 2014

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study is the evaluation of the diagnostic and therapeutic strategy in liver hydatid disease.
Methods: We analyzed 97 cases of liver hydatid cyst (63 females/34 males, aged between 5 and 85 years) hospitalized in the Ist Surgical Department of the Emergency County Hospital of Craiova between 2000 and 2012. The diagnosis was established clinically, by laboratory and imaging tests.
Results: The hydatid cysts were unilocular in 60 cases, the majority (68.31%) being located on the right liver, multilocular in 39 cases, located on both lobes of the liver (9.9%); 17 patients had other locations of the cysts as well (spleen 5 cases, peritoneum 12 cases). Fourty-five (46.39%) cases were uncomplicated and the other 52 cases presented one ore more evolutionary complications: biliary - 44 (43.36%), infection - 15 (14.85%), rupture into peritoneum - 12 cases and bilio-bronchial fistula in 1 case. All patients were operated: 90 patients by open surgery and 7 by laparoscopic approach. Albendazole was administered as prophylaxis of postoperative recurrence. In 73 cases (72.27%) the evolution was favorable. We recorded 26 cases (25.74%) of postoperative complications: infectious - 9 cases, external biliary fistula - 12 cases and general complications in 6 cases. The overall postoperative mortality was 2.06%. We did not register any postoperative complication in the laparoscopic group.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic approach is both safe and feasible, with well codified indications. The most important factor to achieve a successful laparoscopic procedure is the adequate selection of patients. Both intraoperative and postoperative data clearly indicated that the minimal invasive approach provided superior results to open access surgery in terms of complications rate, early recovery and hospital stay.
COMPUTER SIMULATION OF THE PROPAGATION OF HEAT IN ABANDONED WORKINGS INSULATED WITH SLURRIES AND MINERAL SUBSTANCES
Authors: Dziurzyński Wacław , Krach Andrzej , Pałka Teresa 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
In the paper the results of investigations aimed at further identification of the phenomena occurring in abandoned workings and connected with the flow of air-gas (methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon oxidation products) mixture with taking into consideration the impact of supplied mineral substances on the processes of self-heating of the coal left in goaves were presented. The known and successfully used method for the prevention of fires in abandoned workings is the technology of filling goaf with an ash-air mixture, which also raises the issue of the effective use of that mixture. The computer, i.e. digital simulation methods being developed and intended for the purpose of the process discussed here are a good complement of the use of that technology. A developed mathematical model describing the process of additional sealing of gob with wet slurry supplied with three pipelines is based on the balance of volume of the supplied mixture and contained in the body created in goaves. The form of that body was assessed on the basis of the observation results available in literature and the results of model investigations. The calculation examples carried out for the the longwall area and its goaf ventilated with the “U” system allow to state that the introduced modification of the mathematical model describing the flow of the mixture of air, gases, and wet slurry with consideration of the coal burning process in the fire source area was verified positively. The digital prognostic simulations have confirmed a vital impact of the wet slurry supplied into the goaf on the processes of coal burning and also the change of rate and volume flow rate of the air mixture in goaf. As a complement to the above it should be noted that such elements as the place of the slurry supply in comparison with the longwall inclination or fire source area location is of great importance for the effectiveness of the fire prevention used. The development of computer/ digital simulation methods requires further investigations of the model adopted in this study. Those investigations should be aimed at making credible the theoretical model of the mixture flow through porous medium and the supplied mineral material. Such investigations will allow to verify the body form based on the mixture parameters such as humidity, viscosity, and fluidity and depending on the properties of the porous medium. Further development of the modelling of the phenomena discussed in this paper should be based on the methods of use of the description of the flow of fluids and slurry on the basis of 3D models.

Effect of sow prolificacy and nutrition on preand postnatal growth of progeny – a review
Authors: Rekiel Anna , Więcek Justyna , Batorska Martyna , Kulisiewicz Józef 
Published: May 2014

Abstract Weakened growth and development of embryos as well as of fetuses or their organs (IUGR) show a relationship with increasing sow fertility. When aiming to increase birth weight in piglets and reduce within-litter variation in piglet body weight, efforts should be made to maintain a favourable maternal environment (uterus-placenta-embryo). Intrauterine undernutrition can be limited through the hormonal and/or nutritional treatment of pregnant sows. This has an effect on prenatal myogenesis, resulting in better development of skeletal muscles, higher birth weight of piglets, and progression in postnatal growth rate.
Polymorphic linker histone H1 variants in breeding and conservative duck populations
Authors: Kowalski Andrzej , Pałyga Jan 
Published: May 2014

Abstract A purpose of this study was to evaluate genetic diversity in duck populations based on polymorphic variants (H1.a, H1.b and H1.z) of linker histone H1. The study was performed using conservative brown-feathered Khaki Campbell (Kh1) and Orpington (Or) populations and white-feathered Pekin (P77) duck breeding line. While no significant distortion between both brown-feathered duck populations was noted (P>0.05), the allele frequencies at histone H1 polymorphic loci were found to differ significantly between brown-feathered and white-feathered duck flocks (P<0.001). While the alleles a1, b1 and z1 were detected in all three duck lines, the alleles a2 and b2 missed in the line P77 were found in the Kh1 and Or populations. A rare allele z2 not detected in a homozygous state during screening our duck populations was found to occur only in heterozygous P77 duck individuals (z1z2). After a purpose mating of these heterozygous P77 birds, the homozygous individuals (z2) were obtained in their offspring. The uneven distribution of the alleles for polymorphic histone H1 variants among duck populations seems to suggest that they are not functionally equivalent and, therefore, might have a differential influence on chromatin structure and/or function leading to line-specific phenotypic effects in duck.
Analysis of factors increasing the probability of fur chewing in chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) raised under farm conditions

Published: May 2014

AbstractThe aim of the study was to assess the extent of fur chewing problems on chinchilla farms. The research was based on a 20-question survey addressed to breeders. A total of 47 anonymous questionnaires were answered. Results showed that the problem of fur chewing was found in as many as 85% of the farms but the proportion of affected animals was usually low (mean±SE: 3.5±0.55%). To determine the relationship between herd size and the extent of the problem, the Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated to be r = -0.315 (P≤0.05), possibly indicating the problem to be more severe on smaller farms. No correlation was found between fur chewing and the type of fodder (pellets from different producers), temperature, humidity, type of cage equipment or frequency of dust baths. Moreover, the level of fur-biting animals kept on a deep-litter floor was estimated at 1.7% while the level of those kept on a wire floor and in a mixed system was 2.8-times higher (P≤0.05). The fact that 37.5% of the respondents perceived the predisposition to fur chewing to be hereditary was an important observation suggesting a direction for further research. A considerable proportion of those surveyed (37.5%) also pointed to a greater excitability among fur chewers. To sum up, results of the present study revealed that keeping animals on litter reduces the incidence of fur chewing. Breeders’ observations also suggest that fur biting may be determined genetically and/or connected with impulsive-compulsive disorders; however, more detailed studies are necessary to confirm these hypotheses.
