Communication culture and speech etiquette

A person's worldview, his personal characteristics are formed precisely in society, in the place where he (the person) coexists. In the anthropological understanding, people are not born with a certain culture, but acquire it in the course of communication, on the basis of social activity, in particular, speech. The subject acquires a language that is a component of culture, and through its use gains access to its components. Therefore, the socialization of the personality takes place, during which the child's thinking and models of his behavior are formed, therefore the social function of the language as a means of communication, along with other factors, comes to the fore [2, 15-16]. The famous psychologist Luria argued that speech and its traces, which form the basis of the second signal system, allow one to distract and generalize the signals of reality, formulate intentions, and create the basis for ―forecasting‖ the future [4]. This means that speech also allows you to create long-term structures of excitation and creation of a program aimed at a known goal of human behavior. In turn, Yakubinsky noted human speech activity as a diverse phenomenon, determined by all the complex variety of factors and functions [8, 17-58].

Biomonitoring the indoor environment of agricultural buildings.

Agricultural hygiene and biomonitoring helps protect people, livestock and crops from pests and disease, including insects, parasites, pathogens and weeds. Optimising the health of animals and crops increases productivity, minimises animal suffering, and ultimately protects human health by ensuring that foodstuffs are safe for consumption. A healthy farm environment also protects the health of the agricultural workers. Ensuring hygiene and health protection is one of the basic construction requirements. Such requirements are examined when commissioning new constructions and examining defects in constructions already in use. One substantial defect is biocorrosion which represents a synergistic process with a complex variety of factors, caused by biochemical manifestations of various micro-organisms micromycetes). Micromycetes producing mycotoxins therefore play an important role regarding the so-called 'Sick Building Syndrome' (SBS) that has become a global problem nowadays. Therefore, agricultural hygiene and biomonitoring aims to minimise the introduction of additional pathogens and pests, as well as the spread of pathogens and pests in farm environments; this helps protect the safety of foodstuffs further down the supply chain. The aim of the presented study is to point out the need to address indoor environment monitoring, summarizing the most commonly used methods for monitoring biological factors, and characterizing the negative effects of biological agents on humans and animals exposed to their negative effects.

Assessment and biomonitoring indoor environment of buildings

Ensuring hygiene and health protection is one of the basic construction requirements. Such requirements are examined when commissioning new constructions and examining defects in constructions already in use. One substantial defect is biocorrosion which represents a synergistic process with a complex variety of factors. It is caused by biochemical manifestations of various micro-organisms (micromycetes). Micromycetes producing mycotoxins therefore play an important role regarding the so-called ‘Sick Building Syndrome’ that has become a global problem nowadays. The case study presented here aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the diagnostic methods used in assessing the presence of micromycetes in a building’s internal atmosphere and on the internal surfaces of a construction built using traditional construction methods. The methodology of comparing methods is based on their effectiveness, taking into account the identification of type and intensity of micromycetes presence in the air and on the material surfaces in the monitored areas.

Language integration processes in linguistic area studies

Abstract Globalization has now become an integral part of our lives. One of the basic components of globalization is the integration process that involves all areas of human life including language evolution. We consequently look at this problem in terms of language and natural language processes influenced by a complex variety of factors—both interlinguistic and extralinguistic-focusing mainly on the linguistic contacts with emphasis on areal aspects.

Lumped and distributed approaches to model natural recharge in semiarid karst aquifers

Summary Recharge is a key component of the hydrological balance in groundwater systems. Particularly in arid and semiarid settings recharge often takes place during isolated rainfall episodes. As a result pumping might cause groundwater levels to fall continuously for long periods of time, even if yearly abstractions remain below the average replenishment rate. Recharge is naturally difficult to quantify, as it depends on a complex variety of factors. Indirect techniques based on mathematical models have long since been advocated as valuable means to estimate recharge. This paper presents a methodology to estimate groundwater recharge in quick-response semiarid karst aquifers. Lumped and distributed models are used to evaluate the fraction of rainfall that ultimately results in aquifer recharge, as well as the correlation between the magnitude of rainfall events and infiltration rates. Modelling results are then compared with direct observations of the recharge processes and discussed to evaluate the implications of time scales. This study is demonstrated through a case-specific application to the Ventos aquifer, an intensively exploited carbonate system located in one of the driest areas of peninsular Spain. Overall, both approaches perform similarly, although the lumped model exhibits a better agreement with field records. Results reflect the nonlinear nature of the rainfall/recharge ratio. The fraction of rainfall that ultimately recharges the aquifer seems to increase exponentially with the magnitude of the event.

Acceleration capacity in futsal and soccer players

Introduction: Soccer and futsal present proper characteristics, with a complex variety of factors that can infl uence the performance. The objective of this study was to analyze and compare the acceleration capacity between soccer and futsal players. Materials and Methods: 37 volunteers (n=37), being 12 athletes from Minas Gerais state futsal team, and 25 soccer athletes of the youth category. For the analysis of the acceleration capacity, an photocell equipment with photoelectric sensor was used. The photocells were placed in the beginning of the sprint and 10m from it. The established level of signifi cance in this study was of p<0.05. Results: the results in the speed test of 10m indicated differences between the two groups, with better results for the futsal athletes. Discussion: the futsal players were faster than the soccer players. The result corroborates previous literature, when verifi ed that starts in high intensity happen more frequently in the futsal modality, in relation to the soccer modality.

Autogenous transplantation of tooth with complete root formation

Purpose: Autogenous transplantation of teeth can be defined as transplantation of teeth from one site to another in the same individual, involving transfer of impacted or erupted teeth into extraction sites or surgically prepared sockets. Successful autogenous transplantation of teeth depends upon a complex variety of factors. Such factors include damage to the periodontal ligament of the donor tooth, residual bone height of the recipient site, extra-oral time of tooth during surgery. Schwartz and Andreasen previously reported that autogenous transplantation of teeth with incomplete root formation demonstrated higher success rate than that of teeth with complete root formation. Gault and Mejare yielded similar rate of successful autogenous transplantation both in teeth with complete root formation and in teeth with incomplete root formation when appropriate cases were selected. This case report was aimed at the clinical and radiographic view in autogenous transplantation of teeth with complete root formation. Materials and Methods: Patients who presented to the department of periodontics, Chonnam National University Hospital underwent autogenous transplantation of teeth. One patient had vertical root fracture in a upper right second molar and upper left third molar was transplanted. And another patient who needed orthodontic treatment had residual root due to caries on upper right first premolar. Upper right premolar was extracted and lower right second premolar was transplanted. Six months later, orthodontic force was applied. Results: 7 months or 11/2 year later, each patient had clinically shallow pocket depth and normal tooth mobility. Root resorption and bone loss were not observed in radiograph and function was maintained successfully. Conclusion: Autogenous transplantation is considered as a predictive procedure when it is performed for the appropriate indication and when maintenance is achieved through regular radiographic taking and follow-up.

Implementing human rights principles: does post-apartheid South Africa measure up?

Fifty years after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, the universality and validity of human rights principles are still called into question by persistent and gross violations of fundamental human rights in most parts of the world. Some anti-human rights activists are of the opinion that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a 'successful' failure while human rights advocates are of the view that the declaration has achieved some level of success. The reasons advanced as evidence of the failure of the Declaration revolve around the global increase in human rights violations and the degrading treatment of human beings in our society. These violations are attributed to a wide and complex variety of factors and forces, which include, among others, economic conditions, structural social factors and political expediency.

Modulation of Immunosuppression by DNA Transfer in Transplantation

Acute and chronic rejection of organ transplants continues to be the single most important source of allograft loss, and the induction of chronic immunosuppression leads to significant morbidity and mortality in transplants with long-term allograft function. Thus, induction of donor-specific unresponsiveness to organ allografts remains an elusive goal in clinical transplantation. Successful clinical transplantation depends upon a complex variety of factors. Such factors include the compatibility between the immunogenetic markers of the donor-recipient pairs, particularly the HLA antigens; the balance between the immunoregulatory mediators including cytokines and growth factors; and the adequacy of immunosuppression. Despite the availability of powerful immunosuppressive drugs, allograft survival remains imperfect, and long-term therapy has often been accompanied by numerous side effects. Because the ultimate goal of transplant immunology is the development of a state of nonresponsiveness to the transplanted organ, gene transfer approaches may provide useful strategies for fulfillment of this goal.
