MBTI as Express Diagnostics Method of Managers&#180; Behavioral Competencies
Authors: �������  , Reshetko Svetlana , ����������  , Bagrationi Konstantin 
Published: October 2014

Research results of professionally significant qualities (behavioral competence)
of managers involved in projects are discussed in this paper. The
research results have been compared with NCB SOVNET 3.0 behavioral
competence norms. Four types of managers have been empirically identified
according to their professional competence: 1st type � judging introvert;
2nd type � judging extrovert; 3rd type � perceiving extrovert; 4th type � perceiving
introvert. Psychological factors directly correlated with planning and
control of work execution by project participants and influencing these planning
and control are considered within the macro psychological approach
to their learning.
The problem of involving motivated, enterprising and able to make decisions
almost intuitively people in projects becomes more and more topical
nowadays for companies� management. Effective decision-making in management
depends on a type of project managers� personality, compliance
of his profile to project type. In the course of work project managers have
great difficulties in activities� planning and organizing, and the problem of
compliance between project manager�s personality type and the project
character becomes important. Different projects require different types of
managers. An appointment of an employee with the right personality profile
and leadership style, corresponding to the project type is one of project effectiveness�
key conditions. One of the most popular techniques for project
manager�s personality type diagnosis is MBTI. According to this approach
the successful project managers are people with NT (Intuitive, Thinking)
personality type; which make decisions based on intuition and logic. This is
due to these managers are able to make decisions under uncertainty with
lack of information.
MBTI technique allows define the project manager�s personality type with
the help of a meta model as a synthesis of information�s receiving and processing
way, specific models of behavior and thinking style. In the conducted
research with use of mathematical methods it was shown a possibility
to define the type of employee and draw a conclusion on its behavioral
competences by means of express diagnostics during conversation.

Authors: ����������  , Danyushenkov Viktor , ���������  , Korshunova Olga 
Published: October 2014

The article presents classical systems of academic monitoring displaying didactic, educational, social and psychological, administrative, and material
aspects of academic process on the basis of the analysis of the set of approaches to definition of the concepts of �pedagogical monitoring� and �quality
of education�. The actualmodification of monitoring system for rural school is analysedwith regard tomultiple aspects of understanding the category of
�quality of education�. The conclusion is drawn on existing problems in organization of pedagogical monitoring associated with various approaches to
understanding the essence of educational quality, classical inclination of pedagogy to traditional knowledge criteria of monitoring, need of developing
new indicators with regard to humanistic orientation of contemporary school and weak measuring and monitoring framework. Considering these factors
and specifics of modern rural school authors present a model of social and pedagogical monitoring for rural educational organizations and provide
an example of education monitoring in one of the rural schools of the Kirov region, displaying elements of a competence and activitybased paradigm.

Personal Responsible, Participatory or Justice-Oriented Citizen: The case of Hong Kong
Authors: Leung Yan Wing , Wai Wa Yuen Timothy , Keung Ngai George Siu 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
This article starts off with a discussion of Westheimer and Kahne’s typologies of citizens followed by brief discussions of civic education in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia with reference to the typologies. Then it moves on to an analysis of the development of the civic education in Hong Kong by comparing the six official policy documents in civic education, with reference to the typologies. It points out that the conceptions of ‘good citizen’ portrayed in the official documents, as in many countries, are just hovering between the Personal Responsible Citizen and Participatory Citizen and seldom attain the Justice-Oriented Citizen. It also argues that, in addressing the political demands of the society, the cultivation of Personal Responsible Citizen and Participatory Citizen is the result of conservative politicization of civic education, either through depoliticizing the teaching content or teaching politics in a conservative tone in the civic education curriculum. However, civic education deprived of Justice-Oriented Citizen may not be adequate in equipping youths to address the pressing social and political issues and concerns triggered by the global Jasmine Revolutions, Occupy Movements, and struggles against the rapid widening of gaps between rich and poor and the demand for a genuine democratization for the society. Therefore we contest that cultivating Justice-Oriented Citizen should be seriously explored with immediate urgency and propose that liberal civic education programmes aiming at cultivating Justice-Oriented Citizen should be included in school for an all round development of citizenship in the youths.
A large-scale test set-up for measuring VOC emissions from wood products under laboratory conditions in simulated real rooms
Authors: Höllbacher Eva , Rieder-Gradinger Cornelia , Strateva Daniel , Srebotnik Ewald 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
A large-scale test set-up was designed to evaluate the volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions of building materials in a real room situation but under laboratory conditions. Two model rooms (ModR) with a volume of 30 m3 each were constructed of the wood-based building materials X-lam and OSB, respectively. Temperature and relative humidity (RH) inside the ModR were kept in a range of 21°C–25°C and 45%–55% RH. VOCs were collected at 13 different times over a period of 23 weeks, and the total VOC (TVOC) concentration was calculated from GC/MS data. Results were quantified as toluene equivalents (TE). In the X-lam-ModR, the TVOC concentration decreased by 64% over the whole measurement period from 115 to 41 μg m-3 TE. Terpenes were the most abundant substance group and accounted, on average, for 80% of the TVOC concentration. In the OSB-ModR, the TVOC concentration decreased by 72% from 443 to 124 μg m-3 TE. Aldehydes showed the highest concentrations, accounting, on average, for 52% of the TVOC, while 38% were terpenes. The results show that this type of test provides realistic data for the praxis.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the pharmacodynamic interaction of 5-HT3 antagonist ondansetron and paracetamol in postoperative patients operated in an ENT department under local anesthesia
Authors: Bhosale Uma A. , Khobragade Rahul , Naik Chetana , Yegnanarayan Radha , Kale Jyoti 
Published: October 2014

Abstract

Background: The preclinical incision pain models and clinical studies in healthy volunteers have demonstrated the central serotonergic analgesic mechanism, paracetamol analgesia. This has been evidenced by raised serotonin concentrations in the brain following paracetamol administration in a few studies. The inhibition of paracetamol analgesia by 5-HT3 antagonists suggests that this analgesia is 5-HT3 mediated. However, in a few studies, 5-HT3 antagonists themselves exhibited an analgesic action. Various studies in this context stated intricate results. The present study was intended to understand the pharmacodynamic interaction between paracetamol and ondansetron in postoperative patients.

Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 32 postoperative cases of either sex, ages between 18 and 70 years. The patients were randomly allocated into the placebo and test groups and received respective treatment at the end of surgery. The pain score was recorded using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) behavioral scale at awakening and every 30 min for the next 3 h. The postoperative rescue analgesic consumption for 24 h was recorded. The data were analyzed using OpenEpi and SciStatCalc statistical software.

Results: A significantly higher pain score was observed in the placebo group postoperatively for 60 min on VAS (p<0.05 and p<0.01), whereas the FLACC behavior scale score was significantly higher at 120 and 150 min (p<0.05). The test group patients were more comfortable throughout the study, and the postoperative analgesic requirement was significantly lesser (p<0.05).

Conclusions: The pharmacodynamic interaction between paracetamol and ondansetron coadministration does not block but instead increase paracetamol analgesia, reduce the postoperative analgesic requirement, and improve the postoperative comfort level.

Published: October 2014

AbstractThe Pyrenean desman is a vulnerable mammal species endemic to Pyrenees and the northern Iberian Peninsula. The presence of this elusive species can be most easily detected by sampling its faeces. However, these faecal samples can be confused with those of other vertebrate species living in the same habitats. This study provides two easy and reliable methods for the identification of the Pyrenean desman faeces based on genetic analyses. The first one consists of a nested PCR and sequencing of a mitochondrial cytochrome
Inherently chiral calix[4]arenes with planar chirality: two new entries to the family
Authors: Prata José V. , Barata Patrícia D. , Pescitelli Gennaro 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
The synthesis of two new inherently chiral calix[4]arenes (ICCs, 1 and 2), endowed with electron-rich concave surfaces, has been achieved through the desymmetrization of a lower rim distal-bridged oxacyclophane (OCP) macrocycle. The new highly emissive ICCs were resolved by chiral HPLC, and the enantiomeric nature of the isolated antipodes proved by electronic circular dichroism (CD). Using time-dependent density functional calculations of CD spectra, their absolute configurations were established. NMR studies with (S)-Pirkle’s alcohol unequivocally showed that the host-guest interactions occur in the chiral pocket comprehending the calix-OCP exo cavities and the carbazole moieties.
Structure and properties of low-isotacticity polypropylene elastomeric fibers prepared by sheath-core bicomponent spinning: effect of localization of high-isotacticity component near the fiber surface
Authors: Kohri Youhei , Takebe Tomoaki , Minami Yutaka , Kanai Toshitaka , Takarada Wataru , Kikutani Takeshi 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Sheath-core type bicomponent melt-spun fibers were produced by extruding the melts of low-isotacticity polypropylene (LPP) as the core component and the blend of LPP and high-isotacticity PP (IPP) as the sheath component. IPP content in the sheath was changed from 8 wt% to 40 wt% while sheath/core composition was varied from 50/50 to 10/90. Accordingly overall IPP content was kept constant at 4 wt%. Even though the overall IPP content was intact, bicomponent fibers with lower contraction ratio after spinning, higher elastic recovery and slightly higher modulus and strength were obtained by increasing the IPP content in the sheath and decreasing the sheath layer composition, i.e., localizing the IPP to the region near the surface in the fiber cross-section. Structure analysis of the as-spun fibers suggested the suppression of crystallization of LPP in the sheath by blending IPP. By contrast, enhancement of molecular orientation and crystallization of the sheath component were found to occur by localizing the IPP to the region near the fiber surface. It was speculated that this behavior was caused by the kinematic mutual interaction of the sheath and core components in the melt spinning process.

Zusammenfassung
Am 23. 5. 2014 veranstaltete die Forschungsstelle Bankrecht an der Universität Münster unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. Matthias Casper den 5. Münsteraner Bankrechtstag. Thematisch beschäftigte sich der Bankrechtstag mit der Wirksamkeit von Bearbeitungsentgeltklauseln in Verbraucherdarlehensverträgen sowie mit der Frage der Einheitlichkeit der Bankenaufsicht durch die EZB und ihren Auswirkungen auf den Sparkassen- und Genossenschaftssektor. Auch wurde ein Blick auf die verschärften Anforderungen der MiFID II an die Anlageberatung gerichtet. Diskutiert wurde des Weiteren über die Erstreckung der Unterwerfung in die sofortige Zwangsvollstreckung auf den Zessionar der Grundschuld und die Auslegung der zuständigen BGH-Senate. Abschließend lag der Fokus des Bankrechtstags auf dem Zahlungsdiensteaufsichtsgesetz (ZAG) und einigen Anwendungsproblemen der ersten fünf Jahre seines Bestehens.
Die Verjährung des Anspruchs auf Rückerstattung des Bearbeitungsentgelts
Authors: Bartlitz David 
Published: October 2014

Zusammenfassung
Der BGH hat in seinen beiden Entscheidungen vom 13. 5. 2014 einen vorläufigen Schlussstrich unter die seit einiger Zeit andauernde Diskussion über die Zulässigkeit von in Verbraucherkreditverträgen vorgesehenen Bearbeitungsentgelten gezogen. Entsprechende Klauseln in AGB des Darlehensgebers sind danach nicht nur kontrollfähig, sondern stellen insbesondere eine unangemessene Benachteiligung des Darlehensnehmers dar. Noch nicht geklärt ist bislang jedoch die Frage, nach welchen Kriterien die aus der Unwirksamkeit der Entgeltklauseln resultierenden Rückzahlungsansprüche des Darlehensnehmers verjähren. Vor diesem Hintergrund erörtert der vorliegende Beitrag eingehend die einzelnen Aspekte der Verjährungsfrage und entwickelt einen differenzierten Vorschlag zur Lösung der Problematik.
„Banking Without Banks“? Rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen des Peer-to-Peer Lending
Authors: Renner Moritz 
Published: October 2014

Zusammenfassung
Mit dem Peer-to-Peer Lending bekommen die Kreditinstitute neue Konkurrenz. Über spezielle Internet-Plattformen treten hier Kreditgeber und Kreditnehmer direkt miteinander in Kontakt. Die BaFin schränkt die Möglichkeiten des Peer-to-Peer Lending in Deutschland aber stark ein. Der Beitrag tritt de lege lata für eine engere, schutzzweckbezogene Auslegung der KWG-Vorgaben ein. De lege ferenda schlägt er vor, das Peer-to-Peer Lending von der Erlaubnispflicht nach § 32 KWG auszunehmen.
Das Widerrufsrecht beim Verbraucherdarlehen – zwischen Ewigkeit und Rechtsmissbrauch
Authors: Lang Volker , Schulz Stephan 
Published: October 2014

Zusammenfassung
Die plakativ als „Widerrufs-Joker“ (Kropf, WM 2013, 2250) bezeichnete Möglichkeit eines Verbrauchers, sich mit Hilfe eines „ewigen“ Widerrufsrechts noch viele Jahre nach Vertragsschluss von einem Darlehensvertrag lösen oder die nach vorzeitiger Rückführung gezahlte Vorfälligkeitsentschädigung zurückfordern zu können, ist seit längerer Zeit Gegenstand einer bisweilen emotional geführten Diskussion in Rechtsprechung und Literatur. Der vorliegende Beitrag will zunächst einen Überblick über ausgewählte Aspekte des Widerrufs von Verbraucherdarlehensverträgen geben. Anschließend wird der Frage nachzugehen sein, unter welchen Umständen ein dem Grunde nach gegebenes Widerrufsrecht vor dem Hintergrund der grundlegenden sozialethischen Korrektivnorm des Zivilrechts – dem Grundsatz von Treu und Glauben – ausgeschlossen sein kann. Hierbei werden auch Parallelen zu anderen Konstellationen in der Rechtsprechung zu ziehen sein, in denen Fallgruppen des § 242 BGB zur Anwendung gelangen, um sachgerechte Ergebnisse zu erzielen.
Werteffekte auf die Leerverkaufsrestriktion bei Finanztiteln in Deutschland
Authors: Kiesel Florian , Nohn Yannic , Schiereck Dirk 
Published: October 2014

Zusammenfassung
An deutschen Wertpapierbörsen waren gedeckte und ungedeckte Leerverkäufe bis zum 19. 9. 2008 generell zulässig. Durch die Insolvenz der amerikanischen Investmentbank Lehman Brothers am 15. 9. 2008 befürchtete die Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht eine verstärkte Volatilität an den Finanzmärkten und veranlasste am 19. 9. 2008 ein Verbot von ungedeckten Leerverkäufen für 11 Finanztitel. Diese Studie zeigt die Kapitalmarktkonsequenzen der deutschen Leerverkaufsperiode. Es werden verschiedene Risikomaße untersucht, die im Zusammenhang mit der Einführung von Leerverkaufsrestriktionen stehen könnten. Es zeigt sich, dass die erhoffte Wirkung der Leerverkaufsrestriktion in Deutschland ausblieb. Leerverkäufe in Deutschland führten nicht zu einem positiven Werteffekt. Zudem wird gezeigt, dass bei Einführung der Leerverkaufsrestriktion im Jahr 2008 die Volatilität anstieg, womit auch hier das Verbot sein beabsichtigtes Ziel verfehlt hat.
Rechtliche Schranken im Rahmen der Kick-back-Rechtsprechung des BGH
Authors: Kropf Christian 
Published: October 2014

Zusammenfassung
In seiner Entscheidung vom 8. 4. 2014 hatte der XI. Zivilsenat des BGH sich mit dem unvermindert bedeutsamen Themenkomplex der Pflicht zur Aufklärung des Anlegers über den Erhalt von Rückvergütungen seitens der beratenden Bank auseinanderzusetzen. Im Rahmen der Entscheidungsgründe urteilte der BGH über die für die Beratungspraxis relevanten Aspekte, wann trotz fehlender Aufklärung über Grund und Höhe erhaltener Rückvergütungen etwaige darauf basierende Schadensersatzansprüche des Anlegers dennoch nicht durchsetzbar sind. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist dabei insbesondere die Frage der Kausalität derartiger Pflichtverletzungen des Beratungsvertrags für die beim Anleger aus der Kapitalanlage entstandenen Schäden sowie das Vorliegen der subjektiven Komponente für den Beginn der Verjährungsfrist. Im Anschluss an die Darstellung und Analyse der Entscheidung werden die Fragen der Verjährung und der Anforderungen an die Widerlegung der Kausalität im Rahmen eines geltend gemachten Schadensersatzanspruchs in Fällen von Rückvergütungen daher eingehender erörtert.

Abstract
The article presents information about moisture protection of building materials. The discussed parameters determining the efficiency of the water protection are material porosity, water absorptivity and surface condition of building materials. Moreover the ecological aspect of hydrophobic VOC-free preparations available on the market has been underlined. The first part of the article is a description of moisture problem in the building envelopes and the possibilities of its prevention. The special attention is put on the electric methods of moisture estimation with a special emphasis on the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) method. The second part of the article is devoted an experiment of model red-brick walls exhibited on capillary uptake process. For the experiment three model red-brick walls were built and prepared for water uptake process. The experiment was monitored by the capacitive and surface TDR probes thanks to which the necessity of sampling and material destruction could be avoided. Conducted experiments show the progress of water uptake phenomenon in the model walls which differ in type of protection against moisture and prove the potential of the non-invasive measurements using the surface TDR probes. Basic physical parameters of the applied bricks were determined together with the reflectometric measurements. Furthermore, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the hydrophobic layer continuity.
Translocation of Cations During Sorption of Copper in the System Solution - Algae (Spirogyra sp.)/Translokacja Kationów Podczas Procesu Sorpcji Miedzi W Układzie Roztwór - Glony (Spirogyra Sp.)
Authors: Rajfur Małgorzata , Kłos Andrzej , Kříž Jan 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Kinetics of the sorption of copper cations in Spirogyra sp. algae was analysed, together with the accompanying processes of hydrogen cations sorption and releasing to the solution the cations bonded in the algae: Na+, Mg2+, K+ and Ca2+. It was established that, in a static system, at the fixed proportion of algae mass to the solution volume, these processes occur simultaneously, however presumably the quantity of the released salts influences the parameters of heterophase equilibrium of ion exchange. In the experiment conditions, the quantity of the released cations was nearly 10 times larger than the quantity of the sorbed cations. The equilibrium parameters, determined from the model of pseudo second order reaction, were compared with the parameters obtained after 30 min of the process duration, ie at relatively stable indications of measuring equipment. On the example of the sorbed copper, the difference is approximately 8%. It was confirmed that the solution conductivity is a good parameter for the estimation of the state close to equilibrium.
