Louse (Insecta: Phthiraptera) infestations of European Bee-eaters (Merops apiaster Linnaeus, 1758) at Albertirsa, Hungary
Authors: Karáth Kata , Fuisz Tibor István , Vas Zoltán 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
Colonial breeding birds such as the European Bee-eater (Merops apiaster), are perfectly suited for ectoparasitological studies, as their elaborate social life and frequent body-to-body contacts induce high prevalence of louse (Phthiraptera) infestations. In this study we investigated a large breeding colony at Albertirsa, Hungary, and measured the louse burden of the breeding population. With more than 200 pairs nesting in the loess wall there, it may be Hungary’s largest colony of European Bee-eaters. We sampled breeding birds and compared their louse burdens between age groups and sexes. We report the prevalence, mean and median intensity of infestations of the three louse species harboured by the Bee-eaters, and the results of louse burden comparisons between age groups and sexes.
A successful habitat reconstruction effort, the short history of the European Bee-eater (Merops apiaster) colony at Albertirsa (Hungary)
Authors: Urbán Sándor , Túri Katalin , Vas Zoltán , Fuisz Tibor István 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
In the Golyófogó Valley near Albertirsa natural erosion created near vertical walls in the loess deposited in the last glacial period, offering natural nesting sites for the European Bee-eater. Later the deeply cut coach roads, the pits of loess extraction and the construction works of the motorway nearby created further man-made banks. Hence by the 1970-ies a well-established colony bred here, but by the beginning of the 21st century, disturbance and the demise of vertical banks led to a serious reduction in the number of breeding pairs. The purchase of 5-hectare loess grassland plot and the adjacent loess bank, and later its reconstruction led to an unprecedented growth in the number of Bee-eaters. From 2010 the number of breeding pairs exceeded 200 every year. Not only the Bee-eater colony, but also the natural vegetation and the botanical values of the area are managed to maintain the population of rare and protected element of the local flora and fauna.
Professionalisation as a Modern Global Tendency in the Development of Higher Pedagogical Education in Foreign Countries and Ukraine
Authors: Desiatov Tymofiy 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
The paper deals with the professionalisation of higher pedagogical education as a modern global tendency that places new demands on the quality of education, direction and level of training. It has been noted that the modernization of European education appeared legitimate, since geographical and socio-economic transformations have led to the increase of European citizens’ mobility. The need for the European labor market’s correspondence with international standards of qualification, recognition of diplomas and standardization of education has been thoroughly justified. It has been stressed that the main purpose of the Bologna reforms is to harmonize European educational architecture through the elaboration of common descriptors and quality standards. It has been noted that the increasing demands of the labor market, rapid technological change, globalization, the rise of academic and labor mobility require the use of the competency approach to the formation of would be teachers to improve their professional level, which is a prerequisite and a priority in modernization of higher pedagogical education in Ukraine. The thesis that defines professionalisation as a modern global tendency in the development of higher education has been confirmed. The role of the Bologna agreement in the development of higher education in the EU and Ukraine in the context of implementing a two-stage education, since it deals with a flexible choice of higher educational qualifications and complete upgrade of training programs, as well as strengthening its professional component, has been stressed. The attention has been drawn to the fact that the predominance of bachelor and specialist levels in Ukrainian higher education prevents the effective operation of the master’s degree education.
The Beauty of Teachers’ Work in Reflections of Ukrainian and Polish Teachers
Authors: Semenog Olena 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
The values of human labor and teacher’s work have been reflected on the basis of lexicographical sources and research reflections of famous Ukrainian and Polish pedagogues, such as T. Novatskiy, N. Nychkalo, Pope Paul II, G. Skovoroda, Z. Vyatrovskiy, I. Zyazyun. Among the existing values presented in lexicographical sources the following characteristic of the concept is chosen: “Work is the inspiration, the inner beauty of the human, spiritual richness, and self-development of a person”. On the basis of literary analysis of philosophical and pedagogical works of G. Skovoroda it has been concluded that the working process was regarded by the great philosopher and educator as pleasure and happiness, in spite of the results. One can achieve this happiness following the command of inner nature due to the relationship with a certain kind of free vocational work. Pope Paul II proves that the priority function of teacher’s work is educating people in love, aspiraton of Truth, Beauty, Good, Hope and Freedom, “the awakening of a human in a man”. T. Novatskіy and Z. Vyatrovskiy considered teachers’ work through the values of Love, Truth, Beauty, Goodness, Hope, Liberty, Justice, Solidarity. Scientists consider that teacher’s work is “free”, happy, optimistic and finds its true purpose only when it serves as a source of creative inspiration. The summaryzing of the publications and presentations made by N. Nychkalo proves that the teachers’ work is the means of intellectual and creative potential, experience and a sense of human moral dignity.
Comparative Analysis of Legislative Provision of Adult Education in the USA and Canada (Case Study: Professional Development of Tourism Employees)
Authors: Babushko Svitlana 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
Today Ukraine is in the process of establishing an integral base for adult education and the system of employees’ professional development. Hence, the research of the experience of the countries with a fixed, ramified, but integral system of normative and juridical documents in the above-mentioned fields can be of great use. Addressing to the USA and Canada is caused by the fact that in these countries the questions of vocational training and professional development of employees are juridically regulated.
The article represents the results of the comparative analysis of legislative provision of professional development of employees in the USA and Canada in general, and tourism employees, in particular. Laws for analysis were taken from official sites of state and federal bodies. All of them have been systemized into 4 categories: laws on employment, on human resources, on vocational training and professional development, adult education. Common and different features of both countries have been defined. It has been determined that legislative bases of the USA and Canada are ramified and diverse, but at the same time they are integral and coherent. The analysis has shown that they have a lot of common features, similarity of normative and juridical documents, which is caused, mainly, by the geographical location of these countries, by the market economy which they both have, by similar social problems and common development trends. It has also been found out that Canada has a unique federal program EMERIT aimed at continuous learning of tourism employees and their professional development.
The study of foreign experience allowed us to distinguish the progressive ideas to be applied to the development of Ukrainian legislative provision.
Pro-Health Education of Youth in Poland
Authors: Michalska Aleksandra 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
Nowadays, thanks to greater awareness of society and development of restorative medicine, more and more attention is paid to preventive care. That is caused by the fact that there is little progress for both sexes in the frequency of healthy behavior: girls fall much worse than boys in terms of frequency of physical activity, they do not eat breakfast either; boys do not maintain a healthy diet and are reluctant to eat vegetables and fruits, they often drink high-calorie sodas and less frequently brush teeth. Though with age some improvements in oral hygiene and certain eating behaviors can be noticed.
It has been determined that overweight and obesity is a serious problem, as they can contribute to developmental disorders. In this respect it should be the responsibility of teachers to provide individual physical education (according to medical qualifications), prevent various forms of discrimination and bullying among peers, provide individual counseling and health education, weight control of students.
It has been defined that for modern teachers it is a difficult task as students rarely eat fruits and vegetables, do not care about hygiene and frequency of meals, have passive mode of leisure. The acquisition of health during puberty allows functioning smoothly in society. However, despite the continuous work on improving and introduction of new programs of health education classes into schools of Poland, children still suffer from health-related problems. According to epidemiological research most of children in Poland fall on obesity, overweight and accompanying disorders and allergies. Youth is also exposed to accidents and related injuries. The problem is that students do not receive assistance and necessary information.

Situational Methodology as Multifaceted Pedagogical Tool of Influence on the Formation of Socio-Ethical Values of Future Managers-Economists in Higher Schools of Ukraine and Germany
Authors: Sikaliuk Anzhela 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
The role and importance of situational methodology as one of the pedagogical tools of influence on the formation of socio-ethical values of future managers in higher schools of Ukraine and Germany have been theoretically substantiated. The possibilities of situational methodology influence on the formation of socio-ethical values of students - future managers of economic sphere in higher schools of Ukraine and Germany - have been revealed. The most important functions of the interaction of a future manager with staff have been considered. Special pedagogical factors which have an impact on students’ understanding of socio-ethical peculiarities of professional activity have been analyzed. Professionally directed situations as one of the important pedagogical mechanisms that contribute to enhancing the socio-ethical activity of the students have been considered as well as their ability to participate in meaningful, professional interaction on the basis of professional activity in deterministic situations. It has been proved that the formation of socio-ethical values by means of applying situational methodology requires modeling of situations that would activate students on finding and explaining the so-called socio-ethical and pedagogical factors that occur in professional activity. Direct and inverse relationship between the personality of a future manager and socio-ethical values of a personality in the profession of manager has been revealed. It has been proved that the managerial socio-ethical values is a reflection of a system of ethical knowledge and practical recommendations which regulate the activities of individuals in the professional community and is aimed at receiving maximum efficiency from the economic activity. In this regard two components - the professionalization of students and the formation of their socio-ethical values - make up quite multifaceted educational-upbringing process in higher schools of Ukraine as well as of Germany
Femoral imaging artifacts associated with dorsal recumbency craniocaudal radiographic positioning
Authors: Siclari M. , Lesser A. , Maguire P. 
Published: July 2014

Summary
Objectives: To describe the radiographic length distortion associated with femoral tilt during cranio-caudal positioning. To describe a modified bisecting angle technique to alleviate image foreshortening.
Methods: Five pairs of femurs were imaged. The femurs were tilted from 0 to 50 degrees and the X-ray anode was tilted from 0 to 40 degrees. Femoral length was measured on the resulting images. A geometric model depicting sagittal femoral positioning was described with two trigonometric formulas. Trigonometric formula 1 (TF1) was designed to predict apparent femoral length. Data generated by TF1 were compared to the cadaveric study results. Trigonometric formula 2 (TF2), based on the same model, was used to predict the ideal anode angle (iAA) to alleviate foreshortening. Unrelated to the model, a simplified linear formula (SF) was created to approximate the TF2. Data generated with the SF and the TF2 were compared.
Results: When the femoral specimens were tilted to 20 degrees or greater, significant foreshortening was appreciated (p <0.001). Increasing the anode angle increased apparent length, eliminating foreshortening. Data generated by the TF1 agreed closely with the results of the cadaveric study (R2 = 0.999). The SF and the TF2 demonstrated close agreement and were able to predict an iAA consistent with the results of the cadaveric study.
Clinical significance: A femoral tilt of 20 degrees or greater results in significant image foreshortening and may warrant alternate radiographic techniques. If the femur is tilted, adjusting the anode angle can alleviate femoral foreshortening.
Tibial tuberosity transposition-advancement for lateralization of the tibial tuberosity: An ex vivo canine study
Authors: Bertollo N. , Walsh W. , Voss K. , Newman M. 
Published: July 2014

SummaryObjectives: To evaluate the degree of lateralization achievable and strength of tibial tuberosity transposition and advancement (TTTA) relative to pin and tension band wiring (PTBW) for lateral tibial tuberosity transposition.Methods: Six pairs of cadaveric tibiae were used. Tibial tuberosity position was determined with computed tomography (CT); bones were then randomly assigned into TTTA and PTBW groups. The PTBW group had a tibial tuberosity osteotomy and fixation with pin and tension band wiring. The TTTA group had a tibial tuberosity advancement performed with lateralization of the tibial tuberosity by 50% of cage depth, using spacers on the cranial cage screw. Postoperative CT images showed lateralization and craniocaudal deviation. Single axial distractive loading was applied to the patella at 90° to the tibial plateau, and peak load, energy, and stiffness were calculated.Results: There were significant differences in lateralization (PTBW: 67.92 ± 5.1 %; TTTA: 88.51 ± 5.5 %) (p = 0.0173) and craniocaudal deviation (PTBW: –8.30 ± 1.4 %; TTTA: 6.83 ± 0.6) (p = 0.0001). There were no significant differences in peak load to failure (N) (PTBW: 1448 ± 121; TTTA: 1597 ± 43) (p = 0.4541), energy to failure (N/mm) (PTBW: 15013 ± 2719; TTTA: 17314 ± 887) (p = 0.646), or stiffness (N/mm)(PTBW: 102.8 ± 4.7; TTTA: 92.9 ± 4.8) (p = 0.2716).Clinical significance: The TTTA was more effective at lateralization of the tibial tuberosity, and of comparable strength to PTBW. Greater support of the osteotomized fragment with TTTA may resist cyclic loading, and requires evaluation.
Designing magnetic superlattices that are composed of single domain nanomagnets
Authors: Forrester Derek M , Kusmartsev Feodor V , Kovács Endre 
Published: July 2014

Background: The complex nature of the magnetic interactions between any number of nanosized elements of a magnetic superlattice can be described by the generic behavior that is presented here. The hysteresis characteristics of interacting elliptical nanomagnets are described by a quasi-static method that identifies the critical boundaries between magnetic phases. A full dynamical analysis is conducted in complement to this and the deviations from the quasi-static analysis are highlighted. Each phase is defined by the configuration of the magnetic moments of the chain of single domain nanomagnets and correspondingly the existence of parallel, anti-parallel and canting average magnetization states.Results: We give examples of the phase diagrams in terms of anisotropy and coupling strength for two, three and four magnetic layers. Each phase diagrams character is defined by the shape of the magnetic hysteresis profile for a system in an applied magnetic field. We present the analytical solutions that enable one to define the “phase” boundaries between the emergence of spin-flop, anti-parallel and parallel configurations. The shape of the hysteresis profile is a function of the coupling strength between the nanomagnets and examples are given of how it dictates a systems magnetic response. Many different paths between metastable states can exist and this can lead to instabilities and fluctuations in the magnetization.Conclusion: With these phase diagrams one can find the most stable magnetic configurations against perturbations so as to create magnetic devices. On the other hand, one may require a magnetic system that can easily be switched between phases, and so one can use the information herein to design superlattices of the required shape and character by choosing parameters close to the phase boundaries. This work will be useful when designing future spintronic devices, especially those manipulating the properties of CoFeB compounds.
Les avatars du néo-libéralisme dans la fabrique des politiques européennes
Authors: Crespy Amandine , Ravinet Pauline 
Published: July 2014

Ce numéro spécial s’intéresse à l’institutionnalisation des idées néo-libérales dans la fabrique des politiques européennes. L’article introductif invite à considérer que ces idées ne sont pas figées puis déclinées au niveau national, mais qu’il s’agit d’incarnations changeantes (avatars) et négociées du néo-libéralisme, et ce dès la formulation des politiques européennes. Cet article propose une approche centrée sur le travail politique des acteurs dans des configurations institutionnelles mouvantes, pour expliquer le remodelage des idées dans le jeu politique et expliquer, in fine , la variété des solutions de politiques publiques adoptées. Les contributions rassemblées dans ce numéro nourrissent cette perspective originale à partir d’études de cas portant sur différents secteurs de politiques européennes : politique monétaire, énergétique, de l’emploi et de l’enseignement supérieur.
Le modèle danois et la flexicurité européenne
Authors: Caune Hélène 
Published: July 2014

Le modèle européen de flexicurité entend concilier la flexibilité des marchés du travail et la sécurité des travailleurs. Cet article examine comment les acteurs politiques et administratifs de la Commission européenne se sont adaptés à un contexte politique et institutionnel difficile. Dans une stratégie de persuasion à deux bandes, le « triangle d’or de la flexicurité danoise » a d’abord permis d’éviter l’opposition des représentants des syndicats européens. Ce cadrage a ensuite dû être nuancé pour éviter la résistance des États membres qui refusaient d’adopter un modèle excessivement centré sur un cas national. En expliquant pourquoi, au cours des processus de cadrage, certains experts ont été préférés à d’autres, cet article met l’accent sur la dimension stratégique du choix de l’expertise et souligne ses effets dans l’affaiblissement des conflits politiques.
Natural Uniqueness and Sustainable Tourism Business. Small Tourism Enterprises in the Finnish Kvarken Archipelago World Natural Heritage Site
Authors: Berg Petra , Syrjälä Henna , Laaksonen Pirjo 
Published: July 2014

La présente étude est située dans l’archipel finlandais de Kvarken, qui en 2006 obtenait le statut de Site du Patrimoine Mondial Naturel. Les petites, très petites et micro entreprises en tourisme fonctionnant à Kvarken sont face à un défi : comment faire des affaires rentables et réussies en tourisme avec le statut de Patrimoine Mondial, sans détruire les richesses les plus importantes, c’est-à-dire l’environnement unique et naturel et l’histoire socio-culturelle du site ? En conséquence le but de cet article est de découvrir comment les petites, très petites et micro entreprises en tourisme fonctionnant sur un site de Patrimoine Mondial Naturel pourraient se développer selon l’entreprenariat durable . Les principes de l’entreprenariat durable se composent de trois dimensions : écologique, socio-culturelle et économique. Ces dimensions sont approchées par une discussion théorique des interactions entre ces entreprises en tourisme et d’autres groupes de parties prenantes (clients, établissements, personnes locales et d’autres entreprises) sur le site. Les conclusions mettent en évidence des tensions auxquelles le développement durable en tourisme fait face entre et dans ces trois dimensions.
La présentation du style de gestion : l'avantage distinctif pour l'attraction et la rétention du personnel
Authors: Gravel Alain 
Published: July 2014

Le style de gestion est particulièrement important pour les employés francophones et les jeunes chercheurs d’emploi, qui posent souvent des questions à ce sujet en entrevue. L’engagement du recruteur à présenter son style de gestion lors de l’embauche augmente l’attraction des chercheurs d’emploi, et la perception d’un meilleur appariement hiérarchique améliore le rendement et la rétention des employés. L’article propose aux recruteurs un outil pour présenter leur style de gestion afin d’optimiser l’appariement hiérarchique au moment de l’embauche, et à une organisation d’implanter la mesure parmi ses superviseurs pour en tirer un avantage d’employeur. Ainsi, les recruteurs devraient limiter la présentation de leur style de gestion aux candidats qu’ils sont prêts à engager. Des recommandations sont présentées, d’une part, à un recruteur estimant que son style de gestion est habituellement apprécié de ses employés et, d’autre part, à un recruteur jugeant que son style de gestion ne convient pas à tous. L’article suggère à ce dernier de recruter en particulier parmi les 20 % d’employés dont le rendement et la rétention sont insensibles au style de gestion.
