Airports as a factor of regional development on the example of the Szymany Airport
Authors: Bogdański Marcin 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship is a NUTS II region, which belongs to the least developed regions of Poland and the EU. One of the reasons of its underdevelopment is poor transport accessibility, which limits the level of competitiveness and investment attractiveness. For this reason the voivodship authorities made a decision to build a regional airport by modernising the military airport in Szymany near Szczytno. The investment, which is co-financed by the European Funds, is aimed to reduce the level of peripherality of the region, increase its competitiveness and, as a consequence, raise the socio-economic development level.
This paper aims to answer three questions. The first one concerns the extent to which the existence of a regional airport is a factor stimulating socio-economic development of regions, including peripheral ones. The second one is related to the question whether the location of the planned airport is justified by economic factors, or, to put in another way, whether the airport will bring profits in the long run. The last question, related to the previous ones, is whether the realisation of the investment in the planned form will help to reduce the degree of peripherality of the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship and thus accelerate its socio-economic development.
A historical overview and critical analysis of town centre delimitation methodologies
Authors: Pissourios Ioannis A. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The article aims at exploring the literature on town centre delimitation methods over the last sixty years. Specifically, the first section explores the content of the term town centre, while the second one proposes an organisation of town centre delimitation research in three main periods. The third section comprises the main corpus of the article, as several town centre delimitation methodologies of the last sixty years are presented and discussed. For their presentation, a three tiered analysis is introduced. In the first stage the decisions of researchers regarding centrality estimators are discussed, in the second stage the study focuses on the choices of the spatial units, in which the chosen variables will be studied, and in the third stage the study discusses the methods that are used to characterise each of the studied spatial units as central versus non-central. Based on the analysis, the article concludes that town centre delimitation is an issue which transcends various scientific disciplines and that each of these disciplines comprehends the centre of a town in a unique way. Thus, future methods of town centre delimitation should take into account the choices made in each of the three stages presented above, and should also link the above choices to the objectives and the theoretical context of the study.
A comparison of methods to estimate harvest-induced damage to the soil using the example of a beech timber stand
Authors: Kulak Dariusz 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The study determines the extent of soil disturbances occurring during mechanised harvesting operations in a beech timber stand and investigates whether applying different research methods can be used to classify, in a comparable way, forest areas with different levels of soil damage. In the analysed stand, felling and on-side processing were conducted with chainsaws, while extraction - using an farm tractor. After the completion of logging operations, visible soil disturbances on each sample plot were measured, including surface area, volume and depth, and the value of five most common indicators of soil damage was calculated. The share of disturbed surface area, the volume of soil disturbances and different soil damage indicators allowed sample plots to be arranged in the same way according to increasing levels of soil damage occurring during harvesting. A different order was observed only in relation to the depth of the ruts formed. The similarity of the applied measures and classifications of soil disturbances indicates that all of the methods can be applied to make simple comparisons of the degree of soil damage. Because field trials are easy to perform, soil damage indicators based on a visual assessment of soil condition, without the need to take measurements, are worth recommending at first. A fuller picture of the level and nature of detected soil damage, however, can be obtained by taking into account the depth of the disturbance.
The main costs of natural disasters in the Forest District of Węgierska Górka
Authors: Sikora Adam Tomasz , Ukalska Joanna 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the impact of increased forest management due to natural disasters on particular core unit costs. We analysed the direct costs for the Forest District of Węgierska Górka in the years 2004-2010 based on information from the State Forests lnformation System (SFIS) database compared with selected forest districts within the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Cracow (RDSF). The forest districts were divided into two groups with two and six forest districts and confidence intervals around the mean were determined and the significance of linear regressions of the considered characteristics was tested. Additionally, the growth rate (decrease) of the unit cost was calculated. Our studies showed that natural disasters affect only certain unit costs regardless of the intensity of the forest management. The increase in unit costs resulted in economic losses in forest management. A full long-term analysis of the economic impact of natural disasters should be done, taking into account the cost of reforestation of destroyed areas which may become apparent only some years later.

Abstract
Soil water availability, nutrient supply and climatic conditions are key factors for plant production. For a sustainable integration of bioenergy plants into agricultural systems, detailed studies on their water uses and growth performances are needed. The new bioenergy plant Igniscum Candy is a cultivar of the Sakhalin Knotweed (Fallopia sachalinensis), which is characterized by a high annual biomass production. For the determination of transpiration-yield relations at the whole plant level we used wicked lysimeters at multiple irrigation levels associated with the soil water availability (25, 35, 70, 100%) and nitrogen fertilization (0, 50, 100, 150 kg N ha-1). Leaf transpiration and net photosynthesis were determined with a portable minicuvette system. The maximum mean transpiration rate was 10.6 mmol m-2 s-1 for well-watered plants, while the mean net photosynthesis was 9.1 μmol m-2 s-1. The cumulative transpiration of the plants during the growing seasons varied between 49 l (drought stressed) and 141 l (well-watered) per plant. The calculated transpiration coefficient for Fallopia over all of the treatments applied was 485.6 l kg-1. The transpiration-yield relation of Igniscum is comparable to rye and barley. Its growth performance making Fallopia a potentially good second generation bioenergy crop.
Sink plot for runoff measurements on semi-flat terrains: preliminary data and their potential hydrological and ecological implications
Authors: Kidron Giora J. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
In arid and semiarid regions where water is the main limiting factor, water redistribution is regarded as an important hydrological process of great ecological value. By providing additional water to certain loci, moist pockets of great productivity are formed, characterized by high plant biomass and biological activity. These moist pockets are often a result of runon. Yet, although runoff may take place on semi-flat undulating surfaces, runoff measurements are thus far confined to slopes, where a sufficient gradient facilitates downslope water harvesting. On undulating surfaces of mounds and depressions, such as in interdunes, no quantification of the amount of water reaching depressions is feasible due to the fact that no reliable method for measuring the runoff amounts in semi-flat terrains is available. The current paper describes specific runoff plots, designed to measure runoff in depressions (sinks). These plots, termed sink plots (SPs), were operative in the Hallamish dunefield (Negev Desert, Israel). The paper presents measurements of runoff yield that were carried out between January 2013 and January 2014 on SPs and compared them to runoff obtained from crusted slope plots and fine-grained (playa) surfaces. The potential hydrological and ecological implications of water redistribution within semi-flat terrains for this and other arid ecosystems are discussed.

Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is one of the most common single gene disorders, which is mostly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The physical signs of FH are elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), elevated total cholesterol (TC) levels and tendon xantomas. Identification and early treatment of affected individuals is desirable and in lack of physical symptoms DNA-based diagnosis provides confirmation of diagnosis and enables early patient management. The majority of FH cases are caused by mutations in four genes (APOB, LADLR, PCSK9, and LDLRAP1). There are commercial kits available for testing of the 20 most common FH causing mutations, but the spectrum of disease-causing mutations is quite diverse in various populations and these tests cover only a minority of disease-causing genetic variants. There is therefore a need to determine the full spectrum of mutations in LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, and LDLRAP1 genes in each population. Here we report mutations found in 16 patients with suspected FH in a sample from the Genome Database of the Latvian population enrolled at the Latvian Centre of Cardiology. We used the next generation sequencing approach to determine the full spectrum of mutations in coding regions of LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, and LDLRAP1. In total we found 22 missense mutations, from which only rs5742904 (Arg3527Gln) in APOB gene had been previously described as a FH-causing mutation confirming FH in one patient. Possible FH-causing mutations however, were identified in the majority of patients. The conclusion is that the most commonly employed commercial mutation panel is not sufficient for diagnosis of FH patients and NGS can help to identify FH-causing mutations in the Latvian population.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the most effective medical treatment of patients with chronic pancreatitis, by using either pancreatin alone or in combination with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or PPI and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Patients with chronic pancreatitis, who did not require a surgical treatment, received medical treatment for a one–month period: 20 patients received pancreatin monotherapy; 48 patients were given a combination of pancreatin and PPI; 38 patients were treated with a combination of pancreatin, PPI and NSAID (PNP therapy group). In comparison with other groups, patients in the PNP therapy group showed improvement in body mass index, abdominal pain, bowel movements, chronic pancreatitis severity, as well as their quality of life assessment (p < 0.05). The combination of pancreatin, PPI and NSAID was the most effective among those applied in chronic pancreatitis patient treatment. A one–month long course of this therapy was safe and did not cause any significant adverse effects. The combination of pancreatin, PPI and NSAID for treatment of chronic pancreatitis can be recommended, as it is based on pathogenesis of the disease, effective, safe and economically advantageous.
Un exemple de bourg rural : Arbois en Comté de Bourgogne [Étude historique et archéologique]
Authors: Bonnet Pascale 
Published: November 2014

Un exemple de bourg rural : Arbois en Comté de Bourgogne.
Situé au pied du premier plateau du Jura, Arbois fait partie d'un type de peuplement original : le bourg rural créé par un seigneur, sur un terroir occupé et exploité. Un acte de donation de 966 mentionne une pièce de vigne « en Corcelles », situé à proximité d'Arbois. Mais ce n'est qu'en 1053 que par un acte de fondation de maladrerie on découvre Arbois avec des foires et des marchés, un prieur, des bourgeois et des manants. Possessions directes des comtes de Bourgogne, créé par ces seigneurs, le bourg apparaît et se développe tout au long des XIe et XIIe siècles. Les comtes vont pourvoir aux besoins économiques et sociaux du bourg en mettant en place des nouvelles structures, à proximité des habitats existants. Au XIIe siècle, le château où séjourne à plusieurs reprises l'empereur Frédéric Barberousse, des moulins témoins de l'importance de la population, une commanderie de l'Ordre de Saint-Jean. Au XIIIe siècle, le bourg est entouré d'une enceinte en pierre, de maisons-fortes urbaines qui commandent les points faibles de la fortification, et d'un important équipement économique, halles, boucheries, pressoirs, caves. Arbois illustre remarquablement ce processus de création et d'organisation de l'espace urbain au profit de son économie marchande.
Découverte de l'effigie de l'abbé Grégoire créateur du cloître de Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa
Authors: Cazes Daniel , Durliat Marcel 
Published: November 2014

The discovery of the effigy of Abbot Gregory, builder of the cloister of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa.
In 1868, Louis de Bonnefoy, in his work Épigraphie roussillonnaise, described a sculpture from the cloister of Saint- Michel-de-Cuxa that represented the abbot Gregory († 1146). A sketch that Bonnefoy had made of the sculpture was rediscovered only in this Century and published in 1952. This sketch led to the identification of the sculpted plaque, untraced since 1868, among the objects presented at the Salon des Antiquaires de Toulouse in November of 1986. For stylisticreasons, the plaque may be dated ca. 1150 and attributed to the atelier responsible for the tribune sculpture of Cuxa ; it was probably conceived as a memorial to Abbot Gregory, who had the cloister built. The plaque, which is of great historical importance, was acquired by the Conseil général des Pyrénées-Orientales, and is supposed to be reinstalled in its place of origin.
Les πτερόεντα πέδιλα de Persée
Authors: Cursaru Gabriela 
Published: November 2014

Perseus’ πτερόεντα πέδιλα
A close analysis of the various versions of the tales recounting the exploits of Perseus allows to distinguish the role played by its accessories, especially πτερόεντα πέδιλα, their symbolic connotations and the new light they cast upon Hermes’ πέδιλα/ σάνδαλα.
This paper aims to show that, despite the primacy of Perseus’ πτερόεντα πέδιλα in the Greek tradition, they inherit both the connotations of Hermes’ πέδιλα/ σάνδαλα
and those related to footwear of any kind (without any exclusive reference to Hermes), as they are described in the religious thought and archaic imagery : their links with places situated betwixt and between different levels of the world, particularly with the entries in the Otherworld/ Underworld.
Tra mito e culto. Antropologia del vaso nei miti di fondazione dei culti dei Cabiri e dei Grandi Dei
Authors: Cruccas Emiliano

Entre mythe et culte. Anthropologie du vase dans les mythes de fondation des cultes des Cabires et des Grands Dieux
Le culte des Cabires et des Grands Dieux, diffusé dans tout le bassin Méditerranéen depuis l’Âge archaïque jusqu’à l’époque romaine, connut des diversifications régionales qui se déclinent à la fois dans l’organisation cultuelle et dans l’apparat mythologique propre à chaque sanctuaire. Pour ce qui est de ce dernier aspect, l’étude de quelques éléments physiques liés aux mythes de fondation des différents lieux de culte peut offrir des données intéressantes : les grands vases en métal et en terre-cuite semblent en particulier revêtir une grande importance. Leur lien avec la mythologie des Cabires et des Grands Dieux se reflète dans les sources littéraires et épigraphiques, mais est mis en évidence aussi par l’archéologie, qui semble souvent souligner le parallèle entre mythe et rite, rappelé à plusieurs reprises dans l’histoire des études sur la religion grecque. Des exemples concrets de ce cas sont offerts par les amphores des Dioscures Cabires, représentées dans quelques témoignages iconographiques liés au culte : l’hydrie de bronze d’Epitélès, qui est en relation avec la fondation des mystères des Grandes Déesses d’Andania, et le chaudron de Médée et Jason dans le rituel de la fusion des métaux à Lemnos. L’objectif de cette contribution est de mettre en évidence les lignes communes et les développements diachroniques de quelques objets du répertoire mythique du culte des Cabires dans les différents contextes géographiques de référence.

Résumé Si la danse est « un art qui s’exerce à partir de si peu de chose : matière de soi, organisation d’une certaine relation au monde », comment alors donner corps au corps amoureux ? Comment les chorégraphes d’aujourd’hui abordent-ils cette expérience spécifique dans leur écriture, dans le travail commun avec les danseurs et à partir de quelles sources ? Quelles sont les kinésies qui fondent l’expérience amoureuse, comment y accéder, comment les mettre en scène ?
Ruines contemporaines
Authors: Somhegyi Zoltán 
Published: November 2014

Au cours des dernières décennies, on a pu constater un intérêt grandissant pour les « ruines contemporaines », intérêt dont témoigne, par exemple, le succès des haikyo et des urbex . Mais qu’en est-il du statut esthétique de ces « ruines contemporaines » ? Si nous acceptons de définir les ruines non seulement par le fait qu’elles ne sont plus en usage, mais aussi par le fait qu’elles ont besoin de temps pour devenir esthétiquement intéressantes, nous ne pouvons pas appeler « ruines » ces lieux et ces bâtiments qui datent d’une période récente. Ce qui est intrigant est que, néanmoins, ces sites exercent souvent un grand pouvoir d’attraction, et que leur contemplation peut produire des impressions et des idées semblables à celles provoquées par les ruines classique.
Le genre et la mixité en formation d'éducateur(e) de jeunes enfants
Authors: Ndjapou François 
Published: November 2014

Pour repérer les effets du genre et de la mixité en formation d’éducateur(e) de jeunes enfants, nous avons étudié la dynamique d’un groupe mixte d’étudiant(e)s dans le cadre d’un travail d’analyse de situations professionnelles. La centration, au départ, sur les stéréotypes de genre et sur la différence des sexes a induit des éléments de défense, de refoulement, d’exclusion, de séduction et de transgression. Sous les effets de l’expérience et de la culture professionnelle, il s’opère progressivement une évolution des représentations, passant du « sexe » comme différence au « sexe » comme diversité. Au cours du travail entre les étudiantes et les étudiants, la maturation de la dynamique de groupe les conduit à s’approprier peu à peu les enjeux professionnels en créant de nouvelles solidarités, de nouveaux liens, de nouvelles ressources collectives et professionnelles en faveur des actions auprès des jeunes enfants et des familles.
Homme et sage-femme : un choix, une pratique, une construction identitaire
Authors: Cottard Laura 
Published: November 2014

Dans cet article, nous proposons une approche clinique psychosociologique de la construction identitaire des hommes sages-femmes. La position d’homme dans un « métier de femme » engendre une conflictualité sociale et psychique à chaque fois singulière parce qu’elle s’inscrit dans une histoire personnelle, familiale et sociale. L’orientation des hommes sages-femmes, souvent décrite comme relevant du « hasard », est réexaminée à l’aune de leur histoire. Chez certains d’entre eux, la recherche permet de mettre à jour l’existence d’une forme de souplesse au niveau des identités sexuées, d’identifications croisées entre féminin et masculin. Les processus à l’œuvre dans la rencontre avec le métier sont explorés à travers le cas d’un jeune homme qui affirme, lui aussi, être devenu sage-femme « par hasard ». L’analyse de son histoire permet de donner des contours à ce hasard.
Aspects du scientisme dans l'article « Émotion » (Paul Fraisse). Essai d'analyse rhétorique de cinq phrases introductives
Authors: Spoljar Philippe 
Published: November 2014

L’analyse des phrases liminaires de l’article de P. Fraisse intitulé « Émotion » relève différentes stratégies rhétoriques qui donnent une illusion de rigueur et d’objectivité tout en construisant un artefact permis par la simplification réductrice du phénomène émotionnel. Suivant les procédés scientistes habituels, ce phénomène prétendument objectivé nourrit essentiellement la représentation d’un être humain « opératoire », à l’image d’un acteur social efficace, pouvant et devant résister au stress, au titre d’une normalité comportementale. Cet imaginaire théorique légitime une position idéologique qui porte un message social normatif d’adaptation, conforme à certaines attentes institutionnelles et organisationnelles.

Authors: S. Arunkumar J. , Garag Santosh S. , Anchan Shibani V. , Ahsan Y. M. Muhammed 
Published: November 2014

AbstractA hamartoma is a benign, focal malformation that resembles a neoplasm in the tissue of its origin. This is not a malignant tumor, and it grows at the same rate as the surrounding tissues. We report a case of a 27-year-old male patient who presented with mild dysphagia and foreign body sensation in the throat of 1-year duration. On examination, there was a mucosal fold on the medial wall of pyriform sinus lateral to aryepiglottic fold that was acting like a sump where food particles used to get collected. Patient underwent microlaryngeal excision of the mucosal fold, and histopathological examination revealed features of hamartoma.
Leibniz, spinozismo e misticismo
Authors: Pinheiro Ulysses 
Published: November 2014

O presente artigo examina o modo como Leibniz figurou as relações entre o pensa- mento filosófico e o pensamento místico, recorrendo para isso ao contraste entre suas teses e as de Spinoza. Trata-se de mostrar que a transcendência do fundamento da racionalidade levará Leibniz, de forma à primeira vista surpreendente, a uma valorização da totalidade do campo imanente da experiência humana como fonte de conhecimento. O erro do spinozis- mo, segundo Leibniz, consiste justamente em, ao tornar imanente o fundamento, perder de vista a especificidade cognitiva e ética da experiência.
