    Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the the reliability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing alar ligament disruption in patients with potential atlanto-occipital dissociation (AOD). Materials and Methods: Three-blinded readers performed retrospective review on 6 patients with intra-operative confirmed atlanto-occipital dissocation in addition to a comparison cohort of patients with other cervical injuries that did not involve the atlanto-occipital articulation. Ligament integrity was graded from 1 to 3 as described by Krakenes et al. The right and left ligaments were assessed separately. Inter-observer agreement by patient, by group (AOD vs. non-AOD), and intra-observer agreement was calculated using weighted Cohen's kappa. Results: Interobserver agreement of alar ligament grade for individual patients ranged from slight to fair (κ = 0.05–0.30). Interobserver agreement of alar ligament grade for each group (AOD vs. non-AOD) ranged from fair to substantial (κ = 0.37–0.66). No statistically significant difference in categorical analysis of groups (AOD vs. non-AOD) and grade (0–1 vs. 2–3) was observed. Intraobserver agreement of individual patient's alar ligament grade ranged from moderate to substantial (κ = 0.50–0.62). Conclusion: The use of MRI to detect upper cervical ligament injuries in AOD is imperfect. Our results show inconsistent and unsatisfactory interobserver and intraobserver reliability in evaluation of alar ligament injuries. While MRI has immense potential for detection of ligamentous injury at the craniovertebral junction, standardized algorithms for its use and interpretation need to be developed

Fizjologiczną potrzebą dziecka jest ruch. Aktywność ruchowa wspiera nie tylko rozwój fizyczny, ale także psychiczny, intelektualny i społeczny. Cel: Celem pracy jest ocena sprawności motorycznej u dzieci przedszkolnych z miasta Opole i Gminy Dobrzeń Wielki. Materiał i metoda: Badaniami objęto grupę 228 dzieci w wieku 5 i 6 lat. Zastosowaną metodą badawczą był wrocławski test sprawności motorycznej dla dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym. Badania przeprowadzono w ramach organizowanej na Politechnice Opolskiej cyklicznej spartakiady przedszkolaka. Wyniki: Analiza wyników badań wykazała, że wraz z wiekiem następuje systematyczna poprawa uzyskiwanych wyników w każdej próbie sprawnościowej, jednakże w przeliczeniu na punkty, profil sprawności motorycznej dzieci przedszkolnych jest niezadowalający. Porównując wyniki uzyskane w poszczególnych próbach sprawnościowych do norm, stwierdzono wraz z wiekiem dzieci spadek poziomu zdolności motorycznych. Porównanie wyników badań własnych do wyników badań przeprowadzonych w latach 80 stwierdzono, że poziom zdolności motorycznych dzieci wiejskich uległ poprawie. Badane 5 – latki wykazywały wyższy poziom sprawności niż ich rówieśnicy badani w latach 80 . Słowa kluczowe: sprawność motoryczna, dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym, test Sekity Summary Introduction: Pre‑school age is a period of intensive development when children shape their posture, habits and motor memory. Movement is child's physiological need. Motive activity supports not only physical development, but also psychical, intellectual and social. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess motor ability in preschool children from the city of Opole and District Dobrzeń Wielki. Materials and methods: The research involved 228 children, aged 5 and 6. The method used in the study, was Wroclaw motor performance test for preschool children. Test was conducted within the framework of Kindergartner’s Spartakiad organized cyclic by the Technical University of Opole. Results: Analysis of the outcomes has proven, that with the age there is a systematic improvement of the results in each fitness trial, however, calculated on the points, level motor performance of preschool children is unsatisfactory. Comparing the results obtained in individual tests of fitness to the norms, showing a decrease in the level of motor skills with children’s age. Comparing of the results with the research carried in the 1980s led us to conclusion that the level of motor skills of rural children has improved. Examined 5 - years-old showed a higher level of motor performance than examined their peers in the 1980s

    For the purpose of establishing a method of fixing the dyes used in supravital staining of cells, the author observed the precipitation reactions of several dyes, neutral red, Janus green B, Nile blue, etc. with the Nessler's reagent, by which those dyes having amino-, monomethylamino or dimethylaminogroups can be precipitated forming the water insoluble complexes. The reaction proved to have no relation with the oxidation or reduction of dyes, which often causes the change in the color of dyas, showing that the insoluble precipitates have the original color of dyes, and the colored dye forms the same colored precipitate, the reduced noncolored dye a white precipitate. The organic solvents such as alcohol, aceton etc. dissolve this complexes, and therefore, it is suggested that their reaction can be applicable for the fixation of the supravitally stained dyes with exception of the organic solvents in the course of the following dehydrating processes for the observation

Man übersetzt: Nichts ist ohne Grund.“ Das ist der Ausgangspunkt der Forschung: Die Grundsetzung von Parmenides und Platon zu untersuchen, um dann einen Vergleich der Grundsetzung von beiden zu ziehen. Im Kapitel II werden hauptsächlich das Problem vom Sein, sowie die Beziehung zwischen Dingen und Sein bei Parmenides diskutiert. Der Verfasser stimmt mit dem Argument Finks überein, dass die Sinneswelt nicht trügerisch ist. Was trügerisch ist, ist der Wahn des Mnschen. Im Kap. III wird der ersten Teil des Parmenides behandelt. Das zentrale Thema dieses Teils ist das Problem vom Chorismos. Das Chorismosproblem ist der Anfang Platons Selbstkritik in seiner späten Zeit. Der locus classicus des Chorismos steht auf 130b1-5. Der Schwerpunkt dieser Dissertation liegt im Kap. IV über den zweiten Teil des Parmenides. Das schwierigste Problem liegt an der Interpretation über die 1. Position. Drei verschiedene Interpretationsrichtungen werden herausgestellt, nämlich: 1. Der negative Kritizismus, 2. Der Neuplatonismus, 3. Der dritte Weg. Der negative Kritizismus hält die Metaphysik für ungültig und deshalb die 1. Position als falsch oder nicht von Belang bewertet. Der Neuplatonismus dagegen hält ihn für den Höhpunkt der Platonischen Metaphysik, im Sinne von der Erhabenheit des HEN, und schätzt ihn sehr hoch. Der dritte Weg der Interpretation muss demnach sowohl die transzendenten Ideen jenseits als auch die Dinge diesseits (gemeint sind Entstehen und Vergehen) zugleich rechtfertigen können. HEN und AORISTOS DYAS dienen in Platons Metaphysik als ARCHE. HEN ist die ARCHE von allem, AORISTOS DYAS inclusiv. AORISTOS DYAS ist die ARCHE von den Sinnesdingen. Platons Seinswelt hat eine Figur wie Pyramide. Auf deren Spitze steht das HEN, welches das eigentliche Prinzip ist. Durch die AORISTOS DYAS kann das Alle entstehen. Der Verfasser bezeichnet den Prozess dafür, dass das ἕν von seiner jenseits liegenden Absolutheit (EPEKEINA tes OUSIAS) bis zu seiner Erscheinung in der Welt als Phänomenologie des HEN. Der Sophistes handelt das Problem von Seienden unter der Einbeziehung von MEGISTA GENE und SYMPLOKE ton EIDON, um die Entstehungsprozess (GENESIS eis OUSIAN) zu beschrieben. Beide Dialoge bilden zusammen die Genealogie Platons. Die Einführung der MEGISTA GENE und SYMPLOKE ton EIDON ist eine Darstellung der Funktionsweise von AORISTOS DYAS. Das ist der Grund dafür, dass diese Dissertation die beiden Dialoge abhandelt. Parmenides Entschlossenheit, dass das EON ist, erinnert an Heideggers Spruch: Wir müssen kennen; Wir werden kennen. Nur mit solcher Entschlossenheit kann das ON (bei Parmenides und Heidegger) bzw. das HEN (bei Platon) erkannt werden. Parmenides offenbart das Sein auf anschauliche Weise; Platon verweist auf das HEN auf dialektische und zugleich einheitliche Weise. Das Erkennen ist möglich, so weit das Sein ist, und es ist tatsächlich, weil das HEN stets ist.Heidegger says on the beginning of his book: The Rule of the Ground: The Rule of the Ground is: Nihil est sine ratione. We translate: Nothing is without Ground. This is the starting point of the reseaerch: To reseaerch the setting of the Ground by Parmenides and Plato, then to compare the setting of the Ground by both. In the chapter II, the problem of the Being and the relation between things and Being by Parmenides will be discussed. The author agree with the viewpoint by Fink that, the sense world is not false. What false is, is the illusion of the human beings. In the chapter III, the first part of the Parmenides will be discussed. The central theme of this part is the problem of Chorismos. This problem is the beginning of Plato’s critique on himself in his later life. The locus classicus of Chorismos stands on 130b1-5. The key point of this dissertation is in the chapter IV on the second part of the Parmenides. The most difficult problem lies on the interpretation for the 1. Position. Three different directions of the interpretation will be selected: 1. The negativ criticism, 2. The Neoplatonism, 3. The third road. The negativ criticism takes the metaphysics as invalid. Therefore, it evaluates the 1. Position as false or minor important. The Neoplatonism takes it as the climax of the platonic metaphysics, in the meaning of the Transcendence of HEN, and evaluates it very high. The third road of the interpretation must at the same time confirm the transcendent ideas on the side beyond, and the things on this side (generation and decay). HEN and AORISTOS DYAS are the ARCHE in Plato’s metaphysics. HEN is ARCHE of all, including AORISTOS DYAS. AORISTOS DYAS is the ARCHE of the sensible things. Plato’s world of Being has a figure like pyramide. On the top of it stands the HEN, which is the real princip. Through the AORISTOS DYAS all can be generated. The author describes the process, in which the HEN from his absolute status on the side beyond (EPEKEINA tes OUSIAS) to his showing up in this world as phaenomenology of HEN. The Sophistes handles the problem of Being under the involving of MEGISTA GENE and SYMPLOKE ton EIDON, in order to describe the process of generation (GENESIS eis OUSIAN). The both dialogues together build the genealogy of Plato. The introduction of MEGISTA GENE and SYMPLOKE ton EIDON is the demonstration of the modes of function by AORISTOS DYAS. This is why this dissertation handles the both dialogues. Parmenides decision, the EON is, remembers on Heidegger’s idiom: We must know, we will know. Only with such decision can the ON (by Parmenides and Heidegger) and HEN (by Plato) be known. Parmenides enlightens the Being in the mode of looking; Plato shows the HEN with dialectical and at the same time unified method. The knowing is possible, so far the Being is, and it is indeed, because the HEN always is

    This research discusses the role of the Secretary in arranging the official travel agenda for the leader of Bina Artha Sekuritas company, Jakarta. The purpose of this research is to know the role of the Secretary at Bina Artha Sekuritas company and the obstacles experienced during arranging official travel for the leadership. Interviews, observations & literature research are used in this report as the method of writing the Final Project. Based on the data, there are two obstacles faced by the secretary: difficulty in asking for signatures and delays in disbursing travel funds for the leader. The author suggests that the secretary must prepare a schedule (travel list) for a leader, must know the schedule of the Executive Vice President, and always be ready to request the signature of the Executive Vice President, to anticipate when there is a sudden schedule before the day of the leader's official trip. Keywords: secretary role, business travel agenda for the leade

    Open access monographs and the role of the library

    No full text
    This article discusses the thoughts of a humanities researcher in relation to open access (OA) publishing. If OA books are to succeed, they need to operate in a way that works for academic libraries. Humanities researchers rely upon libraries to help them find and access many of the books they need for their research. Furthermore, many business models require direct input from librarians in the form of funding for first-copy costs or alternative formats. This article uses interviews with librarians and repository managers at four UK universities to consider some key issues for OA monographs from the point of view of librarians, and concludes with a reflection on these findings from the point of view of the University of Huddersfield’s Library
