2. Tamar Nadiradze, Nino EradzeAbstract:
The article discusses bio-ecological peculiarities of the following species of genus Pinus L. spread in eastern Georgia: Pinus eldarica Medw., P. griffithii McCleland., P. cembra L., P. pallasiana Lamb., P. pinea L., P. sabiniana Dougl., P. sylvestris L., P. sosnowskyi Nakai, P. strobus L., the perspectives of their usage in Green Building and contemporary problems. We have studied the periods of bud opening, vegetation ending, starting and finishing of cambium action, sprout woodening process, time and rate of growing in height, and regularities of accumulation-transformation of storage carbohydrates. The studies revealed that the annual development cycle of all these species includes all morphological -physiological periods: sprout growth, latent growth, organic and forced rest. They are characterized by the good growth-development; almost all of them are perspective for eastern Georgia, particularly, for all regions of inner Kakheti. However, in recent years, massive drying up of pine forests groves takes place in eastern Georgia. That is why it is necessary to conduct the fitopatologic research, identify the pest causing the damage and plan the measures against it.

Abstract:
The article covers some information on anthropogenic influence upon natural ecosystems that is considered to be one of the strongest factors for reducing biodiversity of Georgian flora. With this purpose, some species of fam. Iridaceae that need to be protected under in situ conditions are being studied. The paper focuses on the fam. Iridaceae. This family is particularly interesting as it unites a considerable number of valuable, beautifully flowering plants with ornamental leaves, representing different biomorphs. Particularly rare and endangered species are: Iris iberica, I. Grossheimii, I. Lycotis, I. Camillae, I. Elegantissima, etc. We have carried out complex studies of bio-ecological peculiarities of bulbous geophytes and ephemeroids of genus Iridodictyum winogradowii, Ir. Reticulatum, Siphonastilis lasica and Iuno caucasica. There has been studied rhythm of growth and development of vital cycle of monocarpic shootings and ways of their propagation in the sub arid zone of East Georgia. There should be mentioned that they have perfectly adapted to the conditions. Such rare species of rootstock plants like Iris iberica, I. Carthalinical. Aphylla, I. graminea, I. imbricata, I. timofejewii, I. prilipkoana, I. musulmanica, Siphonastilis lazica and others even give abundant self-seedlings that undoubtedly makes it possible to protect them from being finally extinct. All the investigated plants can be recommended for using in landscape architecture under the conditions of East Georgia that will contribute to conservation of the valuable genofond of relict and endemic plants of Georgian flora. The work deals with the results of in situ conservation of some of rare and endemic species of fam. Iridaceae from Iridaceae Juss family. According to IUCN categories, the studied taxaare discussed as the endangered species in nature.

Education is measured by demographic questions. In these items, educations include associate of arts, bachelor, master and higher level. Likewise, the situation of social capital aspects was also studied. To measure the amount of social capital, a self-structured titled the relationship between social capitals and developing organizational learning capacity is used. The questionnaire was distributed among a 30-subject sample consisting of Qom Tax Organization employees to measure the validity.

Number of views: 1285 Download in PDF
Abstract:
University students, as a special consumer group, have important effects on leading trend and consumption structure. First of all, poor financial management is the main cause students are facing financial problem. Also, their characteristics of consumption and consumption status also reflect the student’s value orientation. The aim of this study was to investigate how students of private higher education institutions in BiH make purchasing decisions and how they balance small budget with living expenses. The ability to manage finances impacts students both personally and academically. Financial literacy is the ability to understand how money works in the world: how someone manages to earn or make money, how that person manages it, how he/she invests it (turn it into more) and how that person donates it to help others. Data for this study were collected by using survey which are delivered to students of International Burch University. Implications provided valuable data for university administrators in management and student affairs, counselors, economic educators, and parents.

8. Vladimír BiloveskýAbstract:
Submission presents a partial objective and tasks with the intention on selected determinants of female pupils' lifestyle of secondary schools in relation to their health. Monitored group consisted of secondary school female pupils at the age of 18.1 years from the vicinity of L. Mikuláš. Selected and monitored indicators of somatic nature were determined by standard procedures and methodology based on general and school practice. Lifestyle questions were based on a standardized questionnaire. Results indicate, that there is a significant (p < 0.01) absence of sport activities with higher intensity in female pupils' lifestyle, which can, together with inadequate diet, participate in higher body weight (p < 0.05) and its other indicators (BMI and WHR). Listed partial discoveries are included in the grant: VEGA no. 1/0376/14 Intervention as physical activity as health prevention of Slovak population. The article was written with the assistance of the Excellent Science at the Faculty of Arts of Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica.

9. Alžbeta Brozmanová Gregorová, Zuzana Bariaková, Katarína Chovancová, Martina Kubealaková, Jana ŠolcováAbstract:
The paper focuses on the contents, message of Slovak translation theorists as well as their contribution to international translation studies. At the same time, the paper presents and seeks for application of their theoretical musing in contemporary transation studies and searches for possible reasons of their often inadequate interprertation and lack of theoretical “updating”.

Possibilities of the Videothoracoscopy for the Post-Traumatic Clotted Hemothorax
Number of views: 1323 Download in PDF
Abstract:
Background. Among the complications of blunt thoracic trauma, hemothorax is the most common and serious problem of modern thoracic surgery. The frequency of this complication according to some authors, varies from 26% to 80% and is not connnected with nature of the trauma and patient's age. 804 patients with the chest injuries treated between 2006 and 2012 at the 2nd clinic Tashkent Medical Academy. 179 of patients had penetrating stab wounds, and 625 - blunt. The clotted hemothorax was diagnosed at 103 patients. For all the patients with clotted hemotorax we performed videothoracoscopy. All the operations were ended with thoracostomy. Intraoperative complications were not observed. Postoperative complications were observed in 10 (10.2%) patients. In one case developed empyema, and in 9 - limited pleurisy. Inclusion of the videothoracoscopy into the complex diagnostic and treatment algorithm for the patients with chest injuries allows not only to confirm the presence of the CH, but to eliminate it highly effectively and with minimal invasion, avoiding thoracotomy.
