When things go wrong: correcting the scientific record
Authors: Pulverer Bernd 
Published: October 2015

A reliable scientific literature is crucial for an efficient research process. Peer review remains a highly successful quality assurance mechanism, but it does not always prevent data and image aberrations and the publication of flawed data. Journals need to be in a position to detect such problems and take proportionate action. Publishers should apply consistent policies to correcting the published literature and adopt versioning. The scientific community ought to encourage corrections.
Benefits of intermittent/continuous androgen deprivation in patients with advanced prostate cancer
Authors: Muresanu Horia 
Published: October 2015

Background and aims: Huggins described in 1941 the effect of castration on prostate cancer. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH) analogue were introduced in 1985. Complete androgen blocade (association of GNRH analogue with antiandrogen) was introduced by Fernand Labrie to achieve supression of suprarenalian testosterone. Long time androgen deprivation lead to androgen independence of prostate cancer cell.Our principal aim was to demonstrate longer survival rates on prostate cancer patients with intermittent androgen deprivation.Methods: 82 patients were enrolled at the Urology Deparment of West University „Vasile Goldiș” Arad in two groups with continous and intermittent androgen deprivation.Treatment efficiency was assesed by the level of testosterone and PSA.Adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events were reported according to Common Terminology Cryteria of Adverse Events (CTCAE) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI).Results:Evolution towards castrate resistant prostate cancer: 12.5% from the intermittent androgen deprivation group and 23.8% from the continues androgen deprivation groupMortality rate: 15% of patients from the intermittent androgen deprivation group; 19% of patients from the continue androgen deprivation group Conclusions:1. Better quality of life (Qo)l in periods without treatment due to testosteron recovery; 2. Less AE’s and methabolic syndrom (MS) related complications; 3. Better survival and longer time of disease control and 4. Cost reduction

The goal of this research was to explore teachers' and university students' perceptions of material, cognitive and affective-motivational characteristics as well as the acceptance of didactic materials used in Montessori schools. It has been found that both teachers and university students are not familiar enough with alternative pedagogical concepts and believe there's an insufficient number of them in Croatia. While teachers prefer Cosmic Education and Mathematics materials, university students like Language Education materials more, although teachers show more willingness to use Language Education materials in teaching whereas university students use Cosmic Education materials more readily. Both university students and teachers find it most demanding to make Cosmic Education materials, but they also believe such materials to be most concrete. The results have shown that both university students and teachers are more willing to use in teaching such positively evaluated examples of Montessori didactic materials, which have been explored in this research, when they believe them to be valuable, desirable, necessary and useful. Key words: Cosmic Education; Educational Pluralism; Language Education; Mathematics Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati učiteljske i studentske percepcije materijalnih, kognitivnih i afektivno- motivacijskih karakteristika te prihvaćenosti didaktičkih materijala koji se koriste u školama koje primjenjuju pedagogiju Marije Montessori. Utvrđeno je kako učitelji i studenti nedovoljno poznaju alternativne pedagoške koncepcije i smatraju da ih u Hrvatskoj ima premalo. Učiteljima se više sviđaju materijali za kozmički odgoj i matematiku, a studentima za jezik, iako učitelji pokazuju veću spremnost koristiti u nastavi materijal za jezik, a studenti za kozmički odgoj. I jedni i drugi materijale za kozmički odgoj smatraju najzahtjevnijima za izradu, ali i najkonkretnijima. Rezultati pokazuju da kada studenti i učitelji procjenjuju materijale vrijednima, poželjnima, potrebnima i korisnima tada ujedno izjavljuju i veću spremnost za korištenje tako pozitivno procijenjenih, a u ovom istraživanju ispitivanih, primjera Montessori didaktičkih materijala i u svojoj nastavi.

AbstractPositive power is very important for adolescents' physical and mental health. The sample for the study was composed of a total of 760 students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades from 7 elementary schools. The sociodemographic data form, the “Child-Adolescent Social Support Scale” (CASSS) for measuring the social support perceived and the “Middle School Self-efficacy Scale” for measuring self-efficacy were used. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between the social support perceived and elementary school students' self-efficacy and the variables that influence perceived social support and self-efficacy. A positive relationship was determined between the CASSS and point averages on the sub-scales, the Middle School Self-efficacy Scale and the sub-scales of the students (p<0.001). It was established that the perceived social support in adolescents has affected their self-efficacy skills. It is recommended that professionals dealing with adolescent health should guide the adolescents by using social support and health self-efficacy on gaining skills for health protection, promotion and to take over the responsibility of their own health. Key words: adolescents; health promotion; primary schools; self-efficacy; social support; sports participant.---SažetakVrlo je važno da adolescenti imaju pozitivan utjecaj na vlastito fizičko i mentalno zdravlje.

Factors of the Work of National and Foreign Heads of the Pre-school Institutions with International Projects
Authors: Zakutauskienė Dainora 
Published: October 2015

The article reviews the attitude of the heads of pre-school institutions towards the experience of working with international projects. Pre-school education is specific by its functions and is of pivotal importance in forming the potential of the state’s human resources.
Attendance in activities of international projects opens important opportunities to pre-school education establishments, while on the other hand requires due professional abilities of the leaders.
Factors stimulating the participation of pre-school institutions in international projects are emphasized along pointing out the obstacles of taking part in activities of international projects. Improvements of the projects activities abilities of the heads of pre-school institutions are researched.
Increasing importance of engagement of pre-school institutions in activities of international projects made the raise for the research of the problem: what are the factors of the work with international projects by the heads of pre-school institutions? The aim of research is to reveal the factors influencing on the work of national and foreign heads of the pre-school institutions with the international projects. The object of research is the factors of participation of the heads of pre-school institutions in international projects. Methods of the research: quantitative analysis – interviewing of Lithuania’s heads of pre-school institutions; qualitative analysis – standard (via questionnaire) interviewing of the Lithuanian, Slovenian, Swedish heads of pre-school institutions; statistical analysis.
Quantitative analysis has showed that Lithuanian heads of pre-school institutions are stimulated to attend the international projects by the challenge of acquiring new skills, improvement of development process and project activities abilities. Results of the qualitative analysis revealed the following factors motivating the work of the heads of pre-school institutions with the international projects: acquiring new experience, improvement of development process and leaders’ project activities abilities as well as co-operation on the international level. The main obstacle preventing from the work with the international projects revealed in both quantitative and qualitative analysis is the language barrier. According to respondents more active work in international projects could be supported through arrangements of various tutorial seminars including seminars for foreign language improvement. The conclusion based on the results of qualitative analysis may be drawn that active experience gained by participating in the activities of international projects strengthens leader’s position and creates positive conditions for divided leadership at a pre-school institution as well as predetermines the motivation of working with international projects.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is considered either as a linking procedure restoring functioning of an organ or as a link to organ grafting. If there is no expectancy to bring back pulmonary or cardiac functioning and grafting is out of feasibility, one should consider ECMO to be meaningless. In this paper we have demonstrated a successful application of ECMO in a 55 y. o. female patient with terminal stage of critical mitral valve stenosis with left atrial thrombus and her left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 16%. Following 4-day perfusion due to a noticeable positive dynamics the patient underwent mitral valve replacement and LA thrombus removal. In fi ve days after the surgery ECMO was disconnected. At discharge LV ejection fraction was 43%.Conclusions: we believe ECMO should be more widely applied in cardiac surgery.

Published: October 2015

AbstractThe myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) comprise a heterogeneous group of clonal myeloid malignancies characterized by multilineage cytopenias, recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities, and risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML, which can occur de novo as well as secondary to MDS, is characterized by malignant clones of myeloid lineage in the bone marrow and peripheral blood, with dissemination into tissues. The cytidine nucleoside analog and epigenetic modifier azacitidine is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of all French-American-British subtypes of MDS and in many countries for the treatment of AML with 20%–30% blasts and multilineage dysplasia according to the World Health Organization classification. Benefits of azacitidine treatment of patients with AML with &gt;30% blasts have also been shown in a recent phase III trial. Oral administration of azacitidine may enhance patient convenience, eliminate injection-site reactions, allow for alternative dosing and scheduling, and enable long-term treatment. Phase I studies with oral azacitidine (CC-486) have shown biological activity, clinical responses, and tolerability in patients with MDS and AML. Extended dosing schedules of oral azacitidine (for 14 or 21 days of 28-day cycles) are currently under investigation as frontline therapy in patients with lower risk MDS, as maintenance therapy for patients with AML not eligible for stem cell transplant, and as maintenance therapy for patients with MDS or AML following stem cell transplant. This review presents clinical data supporting the use of injectable azacitidine in MDS and AML and examines the rationale for and results of the clinical development of oral azacitidine.
Atribuciones causales del alumnado universitario de República Dominicana con alto y bajo rendimiento academico || Causal attributions in low and high academic achievement university students in the Dominican Republic
Authors: Fernández Amparo , Arnaiz Pilar , Mejía Radhamés , Barca Alfonso 
Published: October 2015

El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer los estilos atribucionales dominantes en el alumnado de primer año de Universidad en República Dominicana y, a su vez, analizar cómo ocurren dichas atribuciones en este alumnado de rendimiento académico alto y bajo. La muestra fue de 787 sujetos (414 mujeres y 373 hombres), con una media de 18.31 años (desviación típica de 1.14) y cursando distintas titulaciones académicas en la universidad. Los resultados muestran que las atribuciones causales internas (a la capacidad o habilidad y esfuerzo) se asocian con el rendimiento académico alto, y poseen una alta capacidad predictiva del buen rendimiento del alumnado, facilitando la motivación de logro. Se ha comprobado, además, que son los estilos atribucionales externos (a la tarea, al profesorado y a la suerte) los que mantienen un fuerte poder predictivo sobre el rendimiento académico bajo del alumnado. Finalmente, al contrario de lo que ocurre con las atribuciones causales internas, las atribuciones externas tienden a facilitar, en buena medida, la inhibición de la motivación de aprendizaje.
Autonomous Inflow Control Devices (AICD): Application in Horizontal Wells Completions in Rubiales Area, Heavy Oil Reservoir

Abstract
Rubiales and Quifa fields are major heavy oilfields (oil gravity ranges from 11.3 to 14.4 °API) in Colombia with a current oil production of more than 264 MSTB and an oil viscosity range from 370 to 730 cP. Horizontal well technology used to drill through unconsolidated sandstones with an active and strong aquifer, under primary depletion, has been used to develop this field. Since 2006, 1,019 horizontal producer wells have been completed using slotted liners (conventional completion) because of the low cost and effectiveness in controlling the coarse-grained sand formation and low fines production.
The high water production rate from the beginning of the operation in the horizontal wells is the primary problem in these fields because of the high cost of produced water treatment and other factors. In formations in which high permeability, high oil viscosity, and strong aquifers are combined, early water influx can result. Water production is predictably associated with the oil production; however, one of the major challenges is to delay the water production for as long as possible. Currently, a large number of wells are closed in that have reached economic limits, primarily caused by high water cuts.
An autonomous inflow control device (AICD) was placed in each screen joint to balance the production influx profile across the entire lateral length and to compensate for the permeability variation and therefore the productivity of each zone.
In late 2012, a new technology project was designed and implemented as a pilot to help address the described issues in horizontal wells. AICDs would be used to maintain equilibrium of produced fluids along the horizontal section of the well, ultimately delaying water coning. After the first pilot is completed, a technical analysis could be conducted, based on the results obtained, and, if possible, the AICD technology could be implemented in additional prospect wells. The AICD pilot was implemented in geological conditions more adverse than wells previously completed with conventional completions and still other wells previously completed with passive but non-autonomous inflow control device (ICD) completions; the pilot will be evaluated with horizontal wells of the area. The main purpose of this paper is to provide details about the selection process, design, and evaluation results for the use of the AICDs in horizontal wells in both heavy oil fields.
Le décor des cryptoportiques en Gaule
Authors: Allag Claudine 
Published: October 2015

Si les cryptoportiques de forum commencent à être bien connus, la restitution de leur décoration intérieure reste problématique. Des traits communs se font jour toutefois : grands panneaux limités par des refends, très traditionnels (Lyon, Feurs ?), ou par de simples bandes colorées (Reims, Bavay) ; corniches en pierre (Arles) ou en stuc (Lyon, Reims) ; prédominance du blanc ; effets d'architectures monumentales.
Ces galeries ne caractérisent-elles pas un urbanisme artificiel imposé par une romanisa- tion systématique ? Leurs enduits intérieurs, si peu variés, ne représentent-ils pas simplement un décor de prestige conventionnel ?
La prise en considération, à l'avenir, des restes mêmes minimes de revêtements muraux, devrait permettre d'approfondir l'étude des décors d'édifices publics.
Les fouilles de l'église Saint-Etienne à Lille. 1983-1984
Authors: Rousseaux Xavier 
Published: October 2015

Opgravingen op het terrein van de « Ritz » in het hartje van Rijsel hebben de overblijfse- len blootgelegd van de Saint-Etiennekerk, die in 1792 vernield werd.
Over de oorsprong van het gebouw, die misschien samenvalt met die van de stad, is niet veel bekend. opgravingen in het koor en een zijkapel en de studie van de zeldzame archieven, laten toe enkele fasen in zijn ontwikkeling te belichten. Stilaan krijgt men een beter beeld van de bescheiden Romaanse kerk, die in de xvine eeuw een imposant gebouw gewor- den was.

Premise of the study:To evaluate genetic variation and structure of Ilex chinensis (Aquifoliaceae), a dioecious evergreen tree, we developed 25 microsatellite markers from its nuclear genome.Methods and Results:Based on the biotin‐streptavidin capture method, 10 polymorphic and 15 monomorphic microsatellite markers were developed. Ten polymorphic loci were characterized by 87 individuals sampled from three populations located in Zhejiang Province and Shanghai, China. The number of alleles per locus varied from two to 12. The observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.0435–0.9032 and 0.3121–0.8343, respectively.Conclusions:These microsatellite markers can be useful for further genetic studies of I. chinensis populations, and so contribute to forest restoration and management.
