Authors: KUŚMIERZ AGNIESZKA , KISIEL MONIKA 
Published: May 2015

Streszczenie
Gleba jest jednym z elementów środowiska przyrodniczego, który często bywa narażony na zanieczyszczenia i degradację. Jednym z głównych źródeł zanieczyszczeń są obiekty gospodarki odpadami, wśród których dominują składowiska odpadów. W Polsce obiekty gospodarki odpadami są zaliczane do przedsięwzięć mogących potencjalnie znacząco oddziaływać na środowisko. Dla większości takich obiektów przeprowadzana jest ocena oddziaływania na środowisko, w ramach której sporządzany jest raport o oddziaływaniu na środowisko. Problematyka ochrony gleb jest jednak często w nim marginalizowana. Celem pracy była analiza jakości wybranych raportów o oddziaływaniu na środowisko obiektów gospodarki odpadami, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem przeprowadzonej w nich analizy stanu gleb, a także przedstawienie propozycji zakresu prac, niezbędnych do rzetelnej analizy oddziaływania obiektów gospodarki odpadami na gleby. Wyniki przeprowadzonej oceny wskazują na zróżnicowany poziom wykonania w zakresie przedstawienia oddziaływania inwestycji na gleby. Przeważają opracowania ocenione negatywnie jako niezadowalające.
Online cognitive training in healthy older adults:
a preliminary study on the effects of single versus multi-domain training

Published: May 2015

Abstract
It has been argued that cognitive training may be effective in improving cognitive performance in healthy older
adults. However, inappropriate active control groups often hinder the validity of these claims. Additionally there
are relatively few independent empirical studies on popular commercially available cognitive training programs.
The current research extends on previous work to explore cognitive training employing a more robust control
group. Twenty-eight healthy older adults (age: M = 64.18, SD = 6.9) completed either a multi-faceted online
computerised cognitive training program or trained on a simple reaction time task for 20 minutes a day over
a 28 day period. Both groups significantly improved performance in multiple measures of processing speed.
Only the treatment group displayed improved performance for measures of memory accuracy. These results
suggest improvements in processing speed and visual working memory may be obtained over a short period
of computerized cognitive training. However, gains over this time appear only to show near transfer. The use of
similar active control groups in future research are needed in order to better understand changes in cognition
after cognitive training.

Published: May 2015

Abstract
Background: There are numerous potential treatments assessed for acute cerebral ischemia using animal
models. This study aimed to assess the effect of these treatments in terms of infarct size and neurobehavioral
change. This meta-analysis was conducted to determine if any of these treatments provide a superior benefit
so that they might be used on humans. Methods: A systematic search was conducted using several electronic
databases for controlled animal studies using only nonsurgical interventions for acute cerebral ischemia.
A random-effects model was used. Results: After an extensive literature search, 145 studies were included in
the analysis. These studies included 1408 treated animals and 1362 control animals. Treatments that had the
most significant effect on neurobehavioral scales included insulin, various antagonists, including N-methyl-Daspartate
(NMDA) receptor antagonist ACEA1021, calmodulin antagonist DY-9760e, and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-
methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist YM872, and antiviral agents. Treatments providing
the greatest effect on infarct size included statins, sphingosine-1-phosphate agonist (fingolimod), alcohol,
angiotensin, and leukotrienes. Treatments offering the greatest reduction in brain water content included various
agonists, including sphingosine-1-phosphate agonist fingolimod, statins, and peroxisome proliferator-activated
receptor gamma (PPAR-γ). Treatment groups with more than one study all had high heterogeneity (I2 > 80%),
however, using meta-regression we determined several sources of heterogeneity including sample size of the
treatment and control groups, the occlusion time, but not the year when the study was conducted. Conclusions:
Some treatments stand out when compared to others for acute cerebral ischemia in animals. Greater replication
of treatment studies is required before any treatments are selected for future human trials.
Clinico-functional study on the incidence of physical deficiencies in teenagers
Authors: Neculăeș Marius 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
This paper assesses the incidence of static disorders of the spine among teenagers. The study also aims at demonstrating the degree of correlation between functional evaluation of posture - through posturography - and the imagistic evaluation of the spine. The study sample comprised 250 teenagers aged between 12 and 18, who addressed to the medical clinic for a set of tests, including postural evaluation. The investigation comprised 250 teenagers aged between 12 and 18, who addressed the medical clinic for a set of tests, including postural evaluation. From among them, 63.20 % were male and 36.8% female; the age mean of the entire sample was 14.8. The statistical analysis conducted on the sample of posturally assessed subjects has found that the most common deviations are those manifested by vicious attitudes; the first are scoliotic attitudes, with 67.2% of the 84% of vicious attitudes encountered during the investigation.
Motivation in practicing Yoga & Pilates and satisfying the need for self-knowledge
Authors: Petracovschi Simona 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the type of motivation of Yoga and Pilates practitioners. These are believed to be two branches of fitness. To test the type of motivation that animate the practitioners, we used the Self Motivation Scale 28 (SMS 28), designed by Pelletier & al. and applied it to a group of 29 female practitioners of Yoga and 29 female practitioners of Pilates, along with a demographic survey. The results indicate that the objectives of the practitioners are muscle tone and correct posture and the main motivation is intrinsic knowledge.
Contemporary dimensions of sports sponsorship

Abstract
Marketing developed close relation with sponsorship since the beginnings of the industrial era of sports. The relation has transformed in a stable relation, the two forces - the sponsor and the sponsored - transforming into two companions of journey. The effort undertaken in this work was focused on analyzing the modern aspects of the partnership generated through sports sponsorship.The current issue and sport sponsorship has come a long way since the first action of its kind until now. Based on the presentation of new concepts on the development efforts in sport sponsorship, content provides a detailed analysis of the actual specifics of this type of activity. Analysis of influence vectors sponsorship process gives us a picture of the forces that can act on this. At the end of our research we focused attention on elements that empowers sports portfolio in terms of corporate interest, the potentiation commercial message and image association. This technique of promotional community for and through sports is maybe the one that manifests the most “laic” status among the promotional forms. This epithet implies a metaphorical approach given by the possibility of accomplishing some objectives that can have some more obvious “corporality” than in the case of the other forms of promotion used in the sports industry. Sports sponsorship has been an early ally of sports, and has remained a basic communicational technique. This fact is due to some determination in double sense: on the one hand, sport has adapted permanently to the dynamics of the range of sponsorship techniques and, on the other hand, the sponsorship tried to use the chameleon-like offer of the sports potential.

AbstractBackground: We have prospectively studied a three month course of clarithromycin (substituted by Prevpac®, lansoprazole/ amoxicillin/ clarithromycin, in the first two wks when stool H pylori+) for non-bulky, advanced stage indolent lymphoma. These patients are often candidates for expectant monitoring and it is during this period that a window of opportunity may exist to identify and treat associated infections. Methods: All previously untreated patients with a new diagnosis of indolent lymphoma (FL and non-FL) meeting GELF criteria were treated with 12 weeks of clarithromycin. There were 32 evaluable patients, 4 of whom had stool H pylori. Results: At one month post-antibiotic therapy, we have observed lymphoma responses in 7 of 32 patients (21.9%). Two additional patients had objective response during followup (28.1% overall response). The median treatment free survival for antibiotic responders is 69.9 months and for non-responders, 30.6 months (p = 0.019). Conclusion: Three response patterns have been noted, perhaps suggestive of an immune-mediated response -- prompt PET negative; flair with delayed PET negative response; and gradual continuous improvement. This prospective study appears promising, may be a step toward developing a lymphoma prevention strategy by reducing “antigen drive,” and deserves further clinical/biological study. http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00461084
Alien and invasive plant species in plant communities of floodplain forests of the Małopolska Upland / Obce oraz inwazyjne gatunki roślin w zbiorowiskach lasów łęgowych Wyżyny Małopolskiej
Authors: Koba Jacek 
Published: May 2015

AbstractDuring the field studies on the floodplain forests of the Małopolska Upland carried out in 2009-2013, the author tried to determine which species of alien and invasive plants could be a threat to the stability of these vegetation communities. Efforts were also made to answer the question, which floodplain forests are particularly vulnerable to the penetration of alien species and in which layers of the forest plant community are the best conditions for the development of the individual alien plant species. During the research, a total number of 344 reléves were made, of which 90 recorded the presence of alien species. The most common were: Impatiens parviflora, Acer negundo and Padus serotina. The highest percentage of reléves involving alien species was found in the riverside floodplain forests of Salicetum albo-fragilis and Populetum albae.

Dimer Coverings on Random Polyomino Chains
Authors: Xiao Chuanqi , Chen Haiyan 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
A polyomino chain is a planar square lattice that can be constructed by successively attaching squares to the previous one in two possible ways. A random polyomino chain is then generated by incorporating the Bernoulli distribution to the two types of attachment, which describes a zeroth-order Markov process. Let (ℜ
n
, p) be the ensemble of random polyomino chains with n squares, where p∈[0,1] is a constant. Then, in this paper, we determine the explicit expression for the expectation of the number of dimer coverings over (ℜ
n
, p). Our result shows that, with only one exception, i.e., p = 0, the average of the logarithm of this expectation is asymptotically nonzero when n → ∞.
Early Psychosocial Exposures, Hair Cortisol Levels, and Disease Risk
Authors: Karlén Jerker , Ludvigsson Johnny , Hedmark Max , Faresjö Åshild , Theodorsson Elvar , Faresjö Tomas 
Published: May 2015

BACKGROUND:
Early psychosocial exposures are increasingly recognized as being crucial to health throughout life. A possible mechanism could be physiologic dysregulation due to stress. Cortisol in hair is a new biomarker assessing long-term hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity. The objective was to investigate whether early-life adverse psychosocial circumstances influence infant cortisol levels in hair and health outcomes in children prospectively until age 10.

METHODS:
A cohort study in the general community using a questionnaire covering 11 psychosocial items in the family during pregnancy and the cumulative incidence of diagnoses until age 10 years in 1876 children. Cortisol levels in hair were measured by using a radioimmunoassay in those with sufficient hair samples at age 1, yielding a subsample of n = 209.

RESULTS:
Children with added psychosocial exposures had higher infant cortisol levels in hair (B = 0.40, P &lt; .0001, adjusted for gender and size for gestational age) in a cumulative manner and were significantly more often affected by 12 of the 14 most common childhood diseases, with a general pattern of increasing odds ratios.

CONCLUSIONS:
The findings support the model of physiologic dysregulation as a plausible mechanism by which the duration and number of early detrimental psychosocial exposures determine health outcomes. The model indicates that the multiplicity of adversities should be targeted in future interventions and could help to identify children who are at high risk of poor health. Furthermore, given the prolonged nature of exposure to a stressful social environment, the novel biomarker of cortisol in hair could be of major importance.
Treatment of Ankyloglossia and Breastfeeding Outcomes: A Systematic Review
Authors: Francis David O. , Krishnaswami Shanthi , McPheeters Melissa 
Published: May 2015

OBJECTIVE:Ankyloglossia is a congenital condition characterized by an abnormally short, thickened, or tight lingual frenulum that restricts tongue mobility. The objective of this study was to systematically review literature on surgical and nonsurgical treatments for infants with ankyloglossia.METHODS:Medline, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Embase were searched up to August 2014. Two reviewers independently assessed studies against predetermined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Two reviewers independently extracted data regarding participant and intervention characteristics and outcomes and assigned quality and strength-of-evidence ratings.RESULTS:Twenty-nine studies reported breastfeeding effectiveness outcomes (5 randomized controlled trials [RCTs], 1 retrospective cohort, and 23 case series). Four RCTs reported improvements in breastfeeding efficacy by using either maternally reported or observer ratings, whereas 2 RCTs found no improvement with observer ratings. Although mothers consistently reported improved effectiveness after frenotomy, outcome measures were heterogeneous and short-term. Based on current literature, the strength of the evidence (confidence in the estimate of effect) for this issue is low. We included comparative studies published in English. The evidence base is limited, consisting of small studies, short-term outcomes, and little information to characterize participants adequately. No studies addressed nonsurgical interventions, longer-term breastfeeding or growth outcomes, or surgical intervention compared with other approaches to improve breastfeeding, such as lactation consultation.CONCLUSIONS:A small body of evidence suggests that frenotomy may be associated with mother-reported improvements in breastfeeding, and potentially in nipple pain, but with small, short-term studies with inconsistent methodology, strength of the evidence is low to insufficient.

Intenzív művelésű mezőgazdasági területeken a természetes gyepvegetációnak gyakran csupán töredékei maradtak meg, rendszerint olyan helyeken, amelyek a mezőgazdasági művelésre alkalmatlannak bizonyultak. Alföldi körülmények között ilyen területek a kunhalmok, amelyek amellett, hogy kiemelkedő kulturális és tájképi értékekkel bírnak, számos ritka növény- és állatfajnak nyújtanak menedéket. Cikkünkben a hencidai Mondró-halom flóráját mutatjuk be. A halmot borító fajgazdag löszgyepben összesen 74 edényes növényfajt találtunk. A halmon számos, a Bihari-síkon ritka növényfaj fordul elő, mint például az Inula germanica, Ranunculus illyricus és a Rosa gallica. A halom különböző kitettségű meredek lejtőin kialakult változatos mikro-élőhelyek hozzájárulnak a halom fajgazdagságának kialakításához és fenntartásához. Ennek is köszönhető, hogy a halmon az erdősztyeppi elemek mellett a legtöbb a Kárpát-medencében előforduló sztyeppei flóraelem-típus (kontinentális, pontusz–szubmediterrán, pontuszi, pontusz–pannon és turáni) megtalálható.

Published: May 2015

The Istat sampling survey on ICT in enterprises aims at producing information onthe use of ICT and in particular on the use of Internet by Italian enterprises for various purposes (e-commerce, e-recruitment, advertisement, e-tendering, e-procurement, egovernment). To such a scope, data are collected by means of the traditional instrument of the questionnaire. Istat began to explore the possibility to use web scraping techniques, associated, in the estimation phase, to text and data mining algorithms, with the aim to replace traditional instruments of data collection and estimation, or to combine them in an integrated approach. The 8,600 websites, indicated by the 19,000 enterprises responding to ICT survey of year 2013, have been scraped and the acquired texts have been processed in order to try to reproduce the same information collected via questionnaire. Preliminary results are encouraging, showing in some cases a satisfactory predictive capability of fittedmodels (mainly those obtained by using the Naive Bayes algorithm). Also the method known as Content Analysis has been applied, and its results compared to those obtained with classical learners. In order to improve the overall performance, an advanced system for scraping and mining is being adopted, based on the open source Apache suite Nutch-Solr-Lucene. On the basis of the nal results of this test, an integrated system harnessing both survey data and data collected from Internet to produce the required estimates will be implemented, based on systematic scraping of the near 100,000 websites related to the whole population of Italian enterprises with 10 persons employed and more, operating in industry and services. This new approach, based on Internet as Data source (IaD), is characterized by advantages and drawbacks that need to be carefully analysed.
The ESCB Quality Framework for European Statistics
Authors: Schubert Aurel , Ahsbahs Catherine 
Published: May 2015

The aim of the paper is to provide a general presentation of the ESCB statistics quality framework. The first part of the paper is dedicated to the “Public commitment on European statistics by the ESCB”[1]and presents some of the similarities and differences of the public commitment relative to the main existing frameworks (e.g. the United Nations Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics and the IMF Data Quality Assessment Framework). It also provides some information on the process followed by the ESCB to converge with the European Statistics Code of Practice. In the second part, the paper presents the main quality assurance procedures put in place by the ESCB and applied to the whole statistical production chain (including the supporting IT infrastructure).[1] See http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/html/pcstats.en.html
