This study investigates in situ art of recent art history and its potential regarding the reconstruction of public space and its meanings. Paradigms of art and architecture conjugation in site specific interventions are examined with a view to answer questions such as the transformative role art can play when it constitutes a plastic phenomenon functioning in a complementary or reactive way as a part of the urban and social space. In situ’s art sculptural objects, due to their transitional form, serve as metaphors for space and time and their condition of constant change in the everyday life of the city. They constitute a physical input in the urban space that seeks to redefine its material boundaries and highlight the interaction between the individual and the city seen as an incomplete entity in a constant re-casting. Through the practice of repetition and movement, sculptural objects are put in dialogue with the objects we come into contact daily, taking part into a new aesthetic reality. It is about a process of re-configurating of the everyday aesthetics of the city, challenging the relationship between art and architecture and thus offering new modes of spatialisation. By examining specific paradigms from the in situ art of the second half of the twentieth century (e.g. Aldo Van Eyck, Daniel Buren, Rachel Whiteread), this paper, seeks to unveil the process of activating the coexistence of the visible and the invisible, the inside and the outside, the private and the collective that this specific artistic process offers in material terms. The main question that this paper seeks to answer is how in situ art- e specially when oscillating between art and architecture- affect the everyday flow of the undifferentiated space and time? How does it shape the coexistence and interaction between city’s objects and subjects? Which alternative – discursive – reality does it offer?

Earlier research demonstrated the secretion of benzoate, which must be oxygenated to its 4-hydroxy derivative in order to be included in further sulfate uptake processes. The present study on Desulfotomaculum acetoxidans DSM 771 was designed to determine the activity and catalytic specificity of the enzyme (most probably peroxidase) catalyzing the hydroxylation of secreted benzoate. Peroxidase activity measured with ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzathiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) during cultivation indicated the greatest activity on the third and thirteen days (3.4 and 2.3 nkat per ml sample respectively). The highest (0.7979) correlation coefficient was calculated between peroxidase activity and hydrogen peroxide levels. The cell walls from 3- and 13-day cultures were subjected to an isolation procedure, PIPES (piperazine-N,N'-bis (2-ethane-sulfonic acid) extract followed by preparative electrophoresis. The extracts of a~30 kDa band on the gel were analyzed by Western blotting and the membrane was stained with TMB (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine-specific for the presence of peroxidase). This same protein was incubated for 6 h with benzoate, H₂O₂ Na₂SO₄. The product formed a complex with Fe³⁺ whose maximum absorption spectra (501.7 nm) corresponded with a ferric complex of synthetic 4-hydroxy-3-sulfo-benzoate. The H₂S level during the cultivation was higher in culture grown with 15.5 mM 4-hydroxy-3-sulfo-benzoate than in culture with lactate supplemented with 15.5 mM sulfate. The role of peroxidase in oxygen utilization and sulfate uptake is discussed.

Despite more than a century of history of psychological research on education, we are unable to clearly define the subject and specific tasks and goals of educational psychology as a separate subdiscipline. There is also the lack of one, general and comprehensive psychological theory of education, describing and explaining in a satisfactory way the complexity of educational phenomena. The presented considerations leads to the statement that educational psychology is an area of application rather than a unique category of research subject matter.

This paper deals with the information function of two nominal suffixes, -i appearing in all nouns, and -n- in first- and second-person pronouns in Basketo, a North Omotic language predominantly spoken in the Basketo Special Woreda in Ethiopia. The suffix -i is often described as nominative. However, object nouns without definite marker can be marked by -i, and as a result -i can appear in both subject and object in the same sentence. We analyze morpheme -i as a marker of specificity. Suffix -n- distinguishes short and long forms of the first- and second-person subject pronoun. The short form is the same as the possessive. In general, possessive does not bear any pragmatic information in discourse. Likewise, short pronouns also show no pragmatic function, but show what is subject or agent in a clause. On the other hand, long pronouns are morphologically and pragmatically marked. We analyze morpheme -n- as the foregrounded topic in discourse in contrast with zero anaphora.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sonoelastography in patients of primary and secondary health care settings. Google scholar, PubMed, Medline, Medscape, Wikipedia and NCBI were searched in October 2017 for all original studies and review articles to identify the relevant material. Two reviewers independently selected articles for evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of sonoelastography in different diseases based on titles and abstracts retrieved by the literature search. The accuracy of sonoelastography in different diseases was used as the index text, while B-mode sonography, micro pure imaging, surgery and histological findings were used as reference texts. Superficial lymph nodes, neck nodules, malignancy in thyroid nodules, benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes, thyroid nodules, prostate carcinoma, benign and malignant breast abnormalities, liver diseases, parotid and salivary gland masses, pancreatic masses, musculoskeletal diseases and renal disorders were target conditions. The data extracted by the two reviewers concerning selected study characteristics and results were presented in tables and figures. In total, 46 studies were found for breast masses, lymph nodes, prostate carcinoma, liver diseases, salivary and parotid gland diseases, pancreatic masses, musculoskeletal diseases and renal diseases, and the overall sensitivity of sonoelastography in diagnosing all these diseases was 83.14% while specificity was 81.41%. This literature review demonstrates that sonoelastography is characterized by high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing different disorders of the body.

In some cases, the estimators obtained in compound tests have better features than the traditional ones, obtained from individual tests, cf. Sobel and Elashoff (1975), Garner et al. (1989) and Loyer (1983). The bias, the efficiency and the robustness of these estimators are investigated in several papers, e.g. Chen and Swallow (1990), Hung and Swallow (1999) and Lancaster and Keller-McNulty (1998). Thus, the use of estimators based on compound tests not only allows a substantial saving of costs, but they also can (in some situations) be more accurate than the estimators based on the individual tests. Nevertheless, each laboratory produces estimates for the prevalence rate of a given infection using different methodologies, such as halving nested procedures (Sobel and Elashoff, 1975) and square array testing (Kim et al., 2007). The logistic regression or the weighted least squares regression can be used in order to combine different prevalence rate estimates (Chen and Swallow, 1990). In this work some meta-analytical techniques are proposed as an alternative approach. This methodology has the advantage of being quite simple and flexible to account for the error source.

Objectives This study aims to test the validity of the IPD-Work Consortium approach for creating comparable job strain groups between the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) and the Demand-Control Questionnaire (DCQ). Material and Methods A random population sample (N = 682) of all middle-aged Malmö males and females was given a questionnaire with the 14-item JCQ and 11-item DCQ for the job control and job demands. The JCQ job control and job demands scores were calculated in 3 different ways: using the 14-item JCQ standard scale formulas (method 1); dropping 3 job control items and using the 11-item JCQ standard scale formulas with additional scale weights (method 2); and the approach of the IPD Group (method 3), dropping 3 job control items, but using the simple 11-item summation-based scale formulas. The high job strain was defined as a combination of high demands and low control. Results Between the 2 questionnaires, false negatives for the high job strain were much greater than false positives (37–49% vs. 7–13%). When the method 3 was applied, the sensitivity of the JCQ for the high job strain against the DCQ was lowest (0.51 vs. 0.60–0.63 when the methods 1 and 2 were applied), although the specificity was highest (0.93 vs. 0.87–0.89 when the methods 1 and 2 were applied). The prevalence of the high job strain with the JCQ (the method 3 was applied) was considerably lower (4–7%) than with the JCQ (the methods 1 and 2 were applied) and the DCQ. The number of congruent cases for the high job strain between the 2 questionnaires was smallest when the method 3 was applied. Conclusions The IPD-Work Consortium approach showed 2 major weaknesses to be used for epidemiological studies on the high job strain and health outcomes as compared to the standard JCQ methods: the greater misclassification of the high job strain and lower prevalence of the high job strain.

Introduction: Colonoscopy and PET / CT are among the major diagnostic tests for colorectal cancer. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of these studies are still being assessed differently. Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of colonoscopy and PET / CT in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Material and methods: The medical records of 125 patients with colonoscopy and PET / CT in the years 2014-2015 were analyzed retrospectively. The research was done at the Professor Franciszek Łukaszczyk Oncology Center in Bydgoszcz. Based on the macroscopic description of colonoscopy, the results were divided into two groups: with and without probability of cancer. The average SUV value in PET / CT for colorectal cancer was calculated and without this diagnosis. The average value of SUV 14 and higher was considered probable, while 11 or less had no probability of cancer. Standardized mathematical formulas were used to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Results: More than half of the patients - 78 (62.4%) were males. The majority of patients -42 (36.6%) were aged 65-74. The majority (106) (68.8%) were diagnosed as polyps and 24 (15.6%) as tumor-like lesions. Polyps were placed in the rectum -32 (30.2%), in the sigmoid colon - 26 (24.5%) and 15 (13.2%) in the ascending colon. Tumors were located in the rectum - 11 (45.8%) and 4 (16.7%) in the recto-sigmoid junction. 38 (24.6%) adenocarcinomas and 67 (43.5%) adenomas were diagnosed. The detection rate of RJG was 32% in colonoscopy and PET / CT. The sensitivity of the colonoscopy was 80%, the specificity - 68.4% and the accuracy - 71.4%. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of PET / CT were 65%, 75%, 4% and 72.7%, respectively. Conclusions: Colonoscopy has a higher sensitivity in colorectal cancer diagnosis, but specificity and accuracy are higher in PET / CT. Keywords: colorectal cancer, colonoscopy, PET / CT, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy

High-resolution melting analysis (HRMA) was used to screen potential SNPs in the exons of chicken CAPN1 (μ-calpain/large subunit) gene. A total of 312 DNA samples from Beijing-you chickens were used for detection. Twelve pairs of primer were designed to amplify twelve different exons and SNPs were detected in five of them. HRMA was also compared with PCR-SSCP analysis for genotyping of a known SNP site in the chicken adipocyte fatty acid binding protein gene (A-FABP). Amplicons of 275-bp fragment, bracketing the polymorphic site, were grouped by PCR-SSCP into three genotypem designated as CC, TT and CT. Small amplicons (56 bp) within the 275-bp fragments were designed to maximize the Tm difference between homozygotes and to genotype all possible three genotypes after a single melting analysis successfully. Results from different methods were cross-validated and sequencing results from randomly selected heterozygotes and homozygotes confirmed the specificity of HRM technique. The full consistency proved that HRMA was a useful tool for rapid, close-tube genotyping of polymorphic sites. It has great potential for SNPs detection and scanning especially on a large scale.

Analiza krzywych topnienia o wysokiej rozdzielczości (HRMA) została użyta do poszukiwania kandydujących polimorfizmów jednonukleotydowych (SNP) w eksonach genu CAPN1 (duża podjednostka μ-kalpainy) kury. W analizie wykorzystano łącznie 312 próbek DNA od kur Beijing-you. Zaprojektowano dwanaście par starterów do amplifikacji dwunastu różnych eksonów, a polimorfizmy SNP stwierdzono w pięciu z nich. HRMA została również porównana z analizą PCR-SSCP w genotypowaniu znanych odcinków SNP w genie białka wiążącego kwasy tłuszczowe (A-FABP) adipocytów. Amplifikowane fragmenty DNA o długości 275 bp flankujące miejsce polimorficzne zostały pogrupowane przez PCR-SSCP w trzy genotypy: CC, TT i CT. Krótkie odcinki amplifikowanego DNA (56 bp), leżące w obrębie fragmentów o długości 275 bp, zostały użyte w celu zmaksymalizowania różnicy Tm między homozygotami oraz w celu umożliwienia identyfikacji wszystkich trzech genotypów w pojedynczej analizie krzywej topnienia. Wyniki uzyskane różnymi metodami były weryfikowane krzyżowo a sekwencjonowanie losowo wybranych hetero- i homozygot wykazało specyficzność techniki HRMA. Pełna zgodność wyników wykazała, że HRMA jest użytecznym narzędziem szybkiego genotypowania miejsc polimorficznych w jednej próbówce (closed tube). Metoda ta umożliwia wydajne wykrywanie i skanowanie SNP na dużą skalę.

Preliminary investigations on preparation, optical and electrical properties of superlattice structures composed of twin layers of an amorphous semiconductor (a-S) and an amorphous insulator (a-l) were performed. These structures were fabricated in an audio-frequency three-electrode plasma reactor as hydrogenated carbon-germanium films (a-GexCy:H) using as a precursor source the mixture of tetramethylgermanium and argon. The type of deposited material (a-l or a-S) was controlled by the coupling capacitance of the system. It has been proved, by means of ellipsometric measurements, that interfaces between a-l and a-S layers are very sharp and the superlattice structure is well defined. Both „blue shift" of the optical gap and changes of electrical conductivity were observed as a result of the superlattice geometry variation. It is, however, doubtful if these phenomena are connected with the quantum size effects.
