The skill of dealing with people was given a special importance by the persons interviewed during my examination by means of questionnaires although most of the specialist works Iconsulted did not pay too much attention to this fact. When asked about the particular fields of further studies, only a small proportion of the respondents regarded the development of theirpersonality important. I think to dissolve this paradox is necessary as without the development of personality it is impossible to improve interpersonal skills, that is one of the basic pillars of good performance at work. Regarding that it is the graduates who fill managerial posts, dealing with people belongs to one of their tasks.Among the respondents if the first degree were from a college and not from a university, the greatest proportion of those studying further would live in Heves and Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén counties. However, this connection cannot be proved in Budapest. Individual motivation is the main drive of studying further after obtaining a degree in a greater and greater proportion.The graduates’ studying further is significantly directed to acquiring extra knowledge rather than a totally new profession and they get a deeper insight into the knowledge necessary fortheir profession driven by their own motivation.

Insight Into

The challenge and opportunity for the field of evaluation is to prepare evaluators with sophisticated interpersonal competence alongside technical research skills. This article shows that service-learning, a “real-world” pedagogical model, holds promise as a way to educate students in evaluation while developing their interpersonal skills. While other community-based approaches offer experiential applications of evaluation methods, service-learning adds the important element of reflection to deepen student learning. A course that employed the “client-based” service-learning approach, individual-to-group student assignments, practice with interpersonal skills, and ongoing reflection activities is presented as a pedagogical approach to expand the range of interpersonal skills that can be developed among students. Student surveys showed that the course conveyed many benefits beyond technical knowledge of evaluation: use and awareness of important interpersonal skills, growing insight into their community and its people, growth of professional self-confidence, and kindling an interest in the field of evaluation.

As various information technologies are penetrating everyday life, private and business matters inevitably mingle. Separating private and business past records, public information, actions or identities may, however, be crucial for an employee in certain situations. In this chapter we review the interrelated areas of employee privacy, and analyze in detail two areas of special importance from the viewpoint of the separation: web and social network privacy. In relation to these areas we discuss threats and solutions in parallel, and besides surveying the relevant literature, we also present current Privacy Enhancing Technologies applicable in each area. Additionally, we briefly review other means of workplace surveillance, providing some insight into the world of smartphones, where we expect the rise of new privacy-protecting technologies as these devices are getting capable of taking over the functions of personal computers.

AbstractMost Pb and Cd neurotoxicity studies investigate exposure to either of the toxic metals alone, while data on co-exposure are scarce. The aim of our study was to fill that gap by investigating acute combined effects of Pb and Cd on redox and essential metal status in the brain of Wistar rats. Animals were randomised in four groups of six to eight rats, which received 15 or 30 mg/kg of Cd, 150 mg/kg of Pb, or 150 mg/kg of Pb + 15 mg/kg of Cd by gavage. The fifth, control, group received distilled water only. Co-treatment with Pb and Cd induced significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) compared to control and groups receiving either metal alone. This is of special importance, as MDA presence in the brain has been implicated in many neurodegenerative disorders. The groups did not significantly differ in Zn, Cu, Mn, and Fe brain levels. Our findings highlight the importance of metal mixture studies. Neurotoxicity assessments of single chemicals do not provide a real insight into exposure to mixtures in real life. Further research should look into interactions between these metals to reveal complex molecular mechanisms of their neurotoxicity.

Insight Into

The midbrain-hindbrain boundary, or isthmus, is the source of signals that are responsible for regional specification of both the midbrain and anterior hindbrain. Fibroblast growth factor 8 (Fgf8) is expressed specifically at the isthmus and there is now good evidence that it forms at least part of the patterning signal. In this study, we use Fgf8 as a marker for isthmic cells to examine how interactions between midbrain and hindbrain can regenerate isthmic tissue and, thereby, gain insight into the normal formation and/or maintenance of the isthmus. We show that Fgf8-expressing tissue with properties of the isthmic organiser is generated when midbrain and rhombomere 1 tissue are juxtaposed but not when midbrain contacts any other rhombomere. The use of chick/quail chimeras shows that the isthmic tissue is largely derived from rhombomere 1. In a few cases a small proportion of the Fgf8-positive cells were of midbrain origin but this appears to be the result of a local respecification to a hindbrain phenotype, a process mimicked by ectopic FGF8. Studies in vitro show that the induction of Fgf8 is the result of a direct planar interaction between the two tissues and involves a diffusible signal.

AbstractAn understanding of molecular interactions is essential for insight into biological systems at the molecular scale. Among the various components of molecular interactions, electrostatics are of special importance because of their long-range nature and their influence on polar or charged molecules, including water, aqueous ions, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and membrane lipids. In particular, robust models of electrostatic interactions are essential for understanding the solvation properties of biomolecules and the effects of solvation upon biomolecular folding, binding, enzyme catalysis, and dynamics. Electrostatics, therefore, are of central importance to understanding biomolecular structure and modeling interactions within and among biological molecules. This review discusses the solvation of biomolecules with a computational biophysics view toward describing the phenomenon. While our main focus lies on the computational aspect of the models, we provide an overview of the basic elements of biomolecular solvation (e.g. solvent structure, polarization, ion binding, and non-polar behavior) in order to provide a background to understand the different types of solvation models.

The operational eco-intensity of a heat supply system is dependent upon the interaction of its elements and their common performance. It is of special importance to gain insight into possibilities to reduce chip fuel consumption in the case when an additional element – a gas condenser – is installed in a boiler house. The efficiency of a system's operation is estimated by its eco-intensity; such estimates concern the influence exerted by technological parameters on the reduction in natural resource consumption, allowing this problem to be thoroughly analysed by means of definite factors promoting the eco-intensity rise. Based on the results of commercial experiment, the authors have found the independent variables for the case of gas condenser without packing. The eco-intensity of a boiler house operation decreases as the outdoor temperature falls and therefore the boiler's load should be increased. This aspect could be due to several causes, among which the most important are: the deviations of the operating parameters of the gas condenser, the increase in the flue gas velocity, and temperature. Analytical treatment of the influence exerted by a boiler's specific load on the operational efficiency of its energy has shown that as this former grows, the efficiency decreases and therefore less heat energy could be derived from the gas condenser. This should be taken into account at simulation of the control over a gas condenser's operation. Santrauka Ekologinis intensyvumas priklauso nuo šilumos tiekimo sistemos elementų sąveikos ir jų bendro veikimo. Tai ypač svarbu tiriant galimybes sumažinti skiedrų kuro sąnaudas tuo atveju, kai šildomame name yra įdiegtas papildomas elementas – dujų kondensatorius. Sistemos veikimo efektyvumas įvertinamas pagal jos ekologinį intensyvumą; tokie vertinimai susiję su įtaka technologiniams parametrams mažinant gamtinių išteklių naudojimą. Remdamiesi tyrimo duomenimis, autoriai nustatė nepriklausomuosius dujų kondensatoriaus kintamuosius. Šildomo namo ekologinis intensyvumas susijęs su lauko temperatūra. Kai ji nukrinta, apkrova turėtų būti padidinama. Tai lemia kelios priežastys, iš jų svarbiausios: dujų kondensatoriaus darbinių parametrų nuokrypiai, išmetamųjų dujų greičio padidėjimas ir temperatūra. Atlikta analizė parodė, kad didinant katilo formą, sistemos efektyvumas mažėja, ir todėl mažiau šilumos energijos tiekiama iš dujų kondensatoriaus. Tai turėtų būti įtraukta į dujų kondensatoriaus veikimo kontrolės modeliavimo skaičiavimus.

Despite the fact that millions of men engage in self-help reading, there has been little scholarly research about the reception of self-help texts by male readers. We explore how men read self-help books through presenting the results of forty-five qualitative interviews with readers of books in the domains of career and financial success, health and well-being, and interpersonal relationships. Our interviewees expressed awareness of the stigmatized role of the male self-help reader and performed two patterns of masculinity, influenced by hegemonic ideals, within this context: the resourceful man getting ahead in life; and the wounded man getting back on his feet. A small proportion of our interviewees challenged conventional notions of masculinity, demonstrating the potential for men to read self-help books in diverse ways. Our findings shed important insight into how men read self-help books and into the performance of masculinity in the context of such reading.

Due to its geographic position, geomorphology and certain signs of frequent occurrencesof atypical conditions, the south area of the southern part of the Kornati islands and the island of Žirje is very interesting for the thermohaline analysis. The analysis has not been completed,however, the activities necessary for getting an insight into justifiability and the need for radical interventions have been made. On the basis of the data obtained from longtime measurements, separate analyses of the sea water temperature, salinity and density have been made, defining annual courses of mean monthly and extreme values, mean monthly values at characteristic depths, and vertical distribution of mean monthly values. Special importance was given to external and internal influences.
