The paper presents a method of creating a semantic map which follows up the tradition of mental mapping. The first step in the construction of a semantic map is a spatial definition of the shared image of a place/town. The second step is selection of the words and phrases that fit the shared meaning of a place/town. The third step then is their localization in the “underlying map”. The size of individual expressions indicates the frequency with which the place was named so or to what extent the designation was shared among the respondents. Then the final step is “regionalization” of the space based on semantic proximity of the words used to describe individual locations. The semantic map method is presented using the example of the town of Ústí nad Orlicí. The empirical material is based on 21 interviews conducted in the town of Ústí nad Orlicí between January and September 2013.

This paper addresses the question of the definition of compounding from a terminological perspective. In terminology, concepts are defined by a selection of properties shared by prototypical cases. For scientific terminology, the selection is validated by the strength of the theories that can use the definition. It is shown that morphophonological criteria often adduced in the delimitation of compounding are not adequate in a universal definition. In order to come up with a better definition, a two-step procedure is proposed. In the first step, a universal definition is used to determine for constructions in a particular language whether they belong to compounding. In the second step, language-specific properties are used to identify instances of these constructions. A definition is proposed that takes a compound as a word with a binary, headed structure, a relation between the elements that is not determined by compounding and a non-head that is not introduced as an entity in the discourse. The use of this definition is illustrated with a number of constructions in different languages. It is shown that expressions commonly called exocentric and copulative compounds are generally not compounds in this definition, but that some expressions that have been labelled as such are in fact compounds. The two-step procedure demonstrated here for compounding can also be used for other linguistic terms.

The study includes four chapters, the first is devoted to reviewing the research problem, its importance, objectives and limitations in addition to defining terms. The second chapter contains the theoretical introduction that includes a definition of optical art and its impact on highlighting features of urbanidentity. The third chapter examines several models in optical formation, where several architectural designs were discussed by its role in highlighting the features of urbanidentity. The fourth chapter includes the results and observations of the role of art and opticalformation in highlighting the urbanidentity. This is because it adds an aesthetic touch and an expression of various creative and unfamiliar ideas to the designer in a waythat occurs a fundamental change in the fixed rules of the viewer and his/her expectations for designs where the creative touch is in the overlay, communication, separation, penetration, segmentation of shapes and colors, and selection of materials needed to implement these designs have the biggest role in highlighting the features of urbanidentity. Where we found that the optical formation of its various types is the main component of architecture that it boasts of, and with what it contains creative ideas that express the reality of urbanidentity.

This publication aims to present the strategic groups of competitors in the outsourcing sector in Bulgaria. In the core of strategic grouping presented here is the identification of the product-market profile of a sample of 35 main competitors. It is a part of the research of the HR capacity sustainability of Bulgaria as one of the leading destinations for providing outsourcing services. The methodology for the identification of the strategic groups consists of three main steps. The first step purpose is to identify the population of the main competitors. The vital part of this step is the definition of BPO and ITO services, which are of interest to the research. The second step refers to identifying individual companies, supplying one or another BPO/ITO service. For a more detailed assessment, it is also essential to define the depth of BPO/ITO services provided by every competitor. This profiling helps to determine the intensity of competition for each service category. The third step goal is to identify strategic groups of competitors that employ human resources with similar technical and language skills. This grouping helps companies to define appropriate human resources policies to make them more competitive in attracting and retaining the desired human resources.

Abstract The paper describes economic agents’ integration in clusters on a predefined technological network. The process is divided and directed by three multi-criteria models. The first one allows selection of economic agents. The second one aims at definition of alternative cluster designs. The third model evaluates the risk of the clusters. The process and models are tested on nineteen economic agents.

Orthophytum grossiorum is a typical bromeliad from Atlantic forestry threatened of extinction. The objectives of this research were to select O. grossiorum clones with ornamental values easy to propagate in vitro, and establish in vitro propagation protocols for these clones. The project was developed in three steps: germination and in vitro selection of seedlings responsive to BAP (6-benzylaminopurine), selection of clones with ornamental values, and establishment of protocol for in vitro propagation of the selected clones. In the first step only 18.33% of plantlets germinated in vitro were responsive to BAP. These plantlets were selected and replicated in vitro several times, each replicated plantlet constituting a clone. In the second step these clones were established ex vitro and surveyed for ornamental attributes. Five out of 11 clones were selected in this step. These clones presented distinct phenotypic traits and were considered of high ornamental quality. In the third step a protocol for in vitro propagation was developed for each selected clone.


The importance of defining a central purpose (or DNA as we call it in this book) is to have an idea, as clear as possible, of what motivates us in life (personal and corporate). Knowing who we are and where we want to go is the first step, as we saw in the previous chapter. However, when we talk about agile corporate innovation, the first step is to define a guiding team: a small group of 4-5 people who start with the work of strategic focus for the company, in whose number lies precisely the strength of the agile approach. This group of leaders needs to build a vision that later leads to the generation of an organizational structure that allows achieving the mega goals and objectives set for each proposed innovation initiative. The selection of the appropriate human talent and the execution and correct measurement of the proposed actions are the third and fourth steps. This chapter explores the authors' definition of DNA.

The aim of this study is to select promising wild apricot rootstocks among wild apricot populations propagated by seeds naturally found in Malatya, Erzincan, Nev?ehir, Sivas and Elaz?g provinces. In the first stage, land scans were carried out between 2007 and 2009 and 756 genotypes were determined which could be suitable for the characteristics of the rootstock by considering the phenotypic characteristics. On land surveys,  the wild apricot trees that are healthy, productive, bitter seeds, thornless, dwarth growth habit and smooth trunk structure was selected. Among the marked wild apricot types were selected 240 types in 2008, 262 types in 2009 and 254 types in 2010. Seeds taken from these determined wild apricot trees were planted for 2 years in Erzincan and Malatya locations and germination experiments were carried out. In the study, Hasanbey and Hac?halilo?lu apricot varieties were used as control plants. Seed germination percentage, seedling diameter, height, diameter and high homogeneity were determined. At the end of three years of germination experiments were evaluated according to weighting ranking score and finally 8 types that has hight score selected for Malatya location and 18 types for Erzincan location. In the second step, these 26 types after selected in germination tests, was grafted by cv. Hac?halilo?lu in Malatya and by cv. Hasanbey in Erzincan. After grafting success, shoot diameter, homogenity, shoot length and homogenity were evaluated. Then, the data was selected according to weighting ranking score and finally 7 types (58/6, 58/7, 24/111, 24/7, 24/25, 24/33 and 44/8) that has hight score selected for Malatya and Erzincan locations, and transferred to the third stage. In third stage, collection orchards will be established and rootstocks-scion, yield, phenological observations, pomological analysis, tree growth and habit will be evaluated.

AbstractEvery action decision made by an actor is preceded by a special definition of the situation that first structures the preferences and expectations from which the selection of an action proceeds in a second step. In a conception based on the ‚subjective expected utility‘ (SEU) Esser 1996 modelled the definition of a situation as a dual structure comprising two stages of selection: the selection of the model and the selection of the mode of information processing. In this paper it is shown how a link to a threedimensional picture of the situation emerges from the formal assumptions of these two selection steps. Depending on the selected utility ratios this picture then represents the choice of the mode of information processing as a function of subjective probabilities.

Diabetes mellitus (diabetes) - takes the third place in the structure of causes of death, affects 4-5% of the world's population, and the costs of its treatment reach 30% of the country's budget for health, of which more than 90% are wastes of treatment of complications SD. Syndrome of diabetic foot (SDS) is formed in 20-50% of patients and in 30% of cases leads to infectious-necrotic complications. When diagnosing SDS pay attention to the condition of the skin and fingers of the feet, blood flow, the presence of pain, to study sensitivity, to conduct capillaroscopy, polarography, ultrasonic dopplerography; Radiography of foot bones, densitometry, angiography, etc. Principles of treatment of infectious-necrotic complications; SDS: urgent hospitalization in the profile department (angiological or "diabetic foot"); Insulin, antibiotic, immunotherapy; The introduction of drugs that improve microcirculation (anticoagulants, antiaggregants, antioxidants); Syndromic therapy; Surgical treatment. Prevention of VTS should include: regular examination of the feet; Definition of a risk group; Selection of adequate shoes; Correction of pathological conditions predisposing to the development of VTS; Training of patients and their family members.

The importance of examining stained 1 to 2μ plastic sections by light microscopy has long been recognized, both for increased definition of many histologic features and for selection of specimen samples to be used in ultrastructural studies. Selection of specimens with specific orien ation relative to anatomical structures becomes of critical importance in ultrastructural investigations of organs such as the lung. The uantity of blocks necessary to locate special areas of interest by random sampling is large, however, and the method is lacking in precision. Several methods have been described for selection of specific areas for electron microscopy using light microscopic evaluation of paraffin, epoxy-infiltrated, or epoxy-embedded large blocks from which thick sections were cut. Selected areas from these thick sections were subsequently removed and re-embedded or attached to blank precasted blocks and resectioned for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
