Tinder has become a popular online dating tool for people looking for either short- or long-term relationships. In this study we build on existing research on gender differences in the motivations of Tinder users, by analyzing gender differences in self-presentation. We predicted that women would try to attract men to right-swipe (i.e., potentially match) their profiles through largely visual means; while men would put more emphasis on showing off their skills and interests. In a sample of 300 randomly obtained Tinder profiles (150 heterosexual females and 150 heterosexual males), half from Colombia and half from the USA, we found mixed support for our hypotheses. There was no significant difference between numbers of photos uploaded by women and men, but certain types of photos were unique to one gender. Links to other social networks did not differ much between genders; however, men tended to include more textual information in their profiles.

Online dating is becoming an increasingly used method for meeting significant others. As the research of lying behavior has advanced so has the technique of detecting the act of lying, especially in the online environment where deception is more likely to happen. The aim of this chapter is to simplify the perception of lying behavior to the general population and examine gender differences of lying behavior, namely, to verify whether one can observe a statistically significant difference in the speech behavior and exploitation of lying cues among men and women. The study shows correlation between gender and deception in online environment.

Purpose Companies expend significant resources on global assignees’ success during deployment. However, the broader repatriation experience of organizational expatriates and their families, beyond securing employment, is still largely unexplored. Thus, the purpose of this paper, an exploratory study, is to describe the repatriation experience of five US Christian repatriates who returned to the USA after long-term expatriate assignments in China. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative approach was employed, and data were collected through five open-ended interviews with US Christian repatriates, focusing on their social networks and family repatriation experiences. Findings Upon repatriation, most global assignees received assistance with relocation and securing stateside employment but no assistance with readjustment issues for themselves or their accompanying family members. Most found repatriation the most difficult part of the assignment, and home churches were of little assistance. The findings support the deterioration of home social networks during longer assignments and extend the literature’s findings to the expatriate spouse and families. Originality/value This exploratory study addresses the experiences of Christian US repatriates and their social support through work and non-work home social networks. The findings highlight the importance of intentional efforts by repatriates and their families to strengthen their home social connections in order to minimize repatriation difficulties.

This study explored the strategies of self-presentation (ingratiation, supplication, and enhancement) among United Arab Emirates users (n = 230) of popular social networking sites (SNS). The size of social networks, degree of network connectivity, and perceptions of self-presentation success were examined. The results indicated a significant positive correlation between the frequency of SNS use and ingratiation and enhancement strategies. Greater diversity of online friends among the respondents was positively associated with the perception of online self-presentation success. Males and females differed in the size of the online social network they interacted with, diversity of online friends, and preferred self-presentation strategies. However, no significant gender differences were found in the levels of network connectivity and perceptions of self-presentation success.

The article reveals the peculiarities of the representation of pantomime theaters in the conditions of new broadcasting channels (on the example of Internet sites and social networks), as well as theorizes socio-cultural conditions that at the present stage determine communication in pantomime theater. The study found that modern pantomime theater, as a phenomenon of entertainment culture, actively represents itself in the network space, which has become an additional channel for broadcasting performances, expanding the boundaries of the audience and providing other opportunities for viewing; rethinks the relationship with the viewer, his role in communication, as well as his own place in the modern world. It is shown that social networks and Internet sites are important platforms for self-presentation of pantomime directors and spectators, discussion and formation of possible directions for further development. In addition to photos and videos (photos of troupe members, videos of pantomimes, videos from tours and festivals), the theaters' websites provide textual information about the history of the group and the theater's activities at the present stage, textual annotations of performances, reviews and forms of communication.

Abstract Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of right internal jugular vein (IJV) approach and right innominate vein (INV) approach for US-guided totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs), and to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the two approaches. Methods: Six hundred and nineteen adult patients had long-term infusion and chemotherapy needs and inconvenience of peripheral venous infusion. Right INV approach was used to implant 339 cases of TIVADs, and right IJV approach was used to implant 280 cases of TIVADs. The success rate of one-time catheterization and the incidence of complications in the two groups were retrospectively analyzed. Results: All patients were successfully implanted in TIVAD. The success rates of one-time puncture in INV group and IJV approach group were 98.53% (334/339) and 95.36% (267/280), respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups (P=0.020). The incidence of perioperative complications was 1.18% (4/339) and the long-term complications was 3.54% (12/339) in the right INV group. The incidence of perioperative complications was 1.43% (4/280) and the long-term complications was 3.93% (11/280) in the right INV group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P=0.785，P=0.799, respectively). Conclusions: US-guided TIVADs via the right INV approach and the right IJV approach are both safe and reliable. The right INV approach improves the one-time puncture success rate, as long as the technique is properly operated, serious complications rarely occur.

AbstractReading in the English subject in both primary and secondary school often involves studying course book texts in detail. Therefore, pupils are rarely exposed to longer texts which require reading for meaning, a skill needed in higher education and working life. With the right reading material, extensive reading (ER) should start already in primary school. This article reports on a study of primary school pupils from three different schools and their perceptions of an extensive reading and writing project, as well as their responses to the reading material offered. The study was designed to address the following research questions:1. Which types of reading material appeal to the pupils in the study?2. What is the role of gender in the pupils’ evaluation of the reading material?3. Are there differences between the pupils’ evaluation of the reading material offered, depending on their previous academic achievement?4. What are the pupils’ attitudes towards (extensive) reading?Two sets of questionnaire data were collected in the course of the project. First, during the reading, the learners were asked to answer a questionnaire about each book they had read or attempted to read. At the end of the project, the learners were asked to complete a questionnaire about their overall perception of the project. The study shows that there was a significant difference between the schools in the evaluation of the reading material, and there was also a significant difference between boys and girls in the perception of the reading material. More¬over, the study shows that the learners valued the chance to select the reading material themselves highly. When carrying out ER with pupils, it is essential to be aware of gender differences in reading preferences and ensure that there are enough books to cater for both boys’ and girls’ particular interests. Moreover, fostering a reading culture in both the Norwegian and English subjects is important.Keywords: extensive reading, gender differences, choice of books, the impor-tance of self-selection of books, motivation for readingEkstensiv lesing i engelsk som fremmedspråk i barneskolenSammendragLesing i skolefaget engelsk i både barne- og ungdomsskolen betyr ofte at elevene må gjøre rede for lærebokteksten på detaljnivå. Derfor møter elevene sjelden lengre tekster som krever forståelse av meningen med teksten, en ferdighet det forventes at de behersker i høyere utdannelse og i arbeidslivet. Med det rette utvalget av tekster burde elevene øve seg på ekstensiv lesing allerede i barneskolen. Denne artikkelen legger frem resultater fra en studie av elever fra tre forskjellige barneskoler og deres oppfatninger av et ekstensivt lese- og skrive-prosjekt i tillegg til deres respons på utvalget av tekster. Forskningsspørsmålene i studien er som følger:1. Hvilke typer lesestoff appellerer til elevene i studien?2. Hvilken betydning har kjønn i elevenes evaluering av lesestoffet?3. Har elevenes tidligere akademiske resultater betydning for deres evaluering av lesestoffet?4. Hvilke holdninger har elevene til ekstensiv lesing?To typer spørreskjema-data ble samlet inn i løpet av prosjektet. Først, i løpet av leseperiodene, ble elevene bedt om å svare på et spørreskjema om hver bok de hadde lest eller prøvd å lese. Når prosjektet var avsluttet, ble elevene bedt om å fylle ut et spørreskjema om deres totale opplevelse av prosjektet. Studien viser at det var en signifikant forskjell mellom skolene i elevenes vurdering av tekstene som ble tilbudt som lesestoff, og det var også en signifikant forskjell mellom gutter og jenter. Dessuten viser studien at elevene satte stor pris på muligheten til å velge lesestoff selv. Når man gjennomfører ekstensiv lesing med elever, er det viktig å være klar over kjønnsforskjeller i elevenes lesepreferanser og forsikre seg om at utvalget av bøker er stort nok til å ivareta både gutters og jenters spesielle interesser. Dessuten er det viktig å utvikle en kultur for lesing i både norskfaget og engelskfaget.Nøkkelord: ekstensiv lesing i engelsk, kjønnsforskjeller, elevers valg av bøker, betydningen av å velge bøker selv, motivasjon for lesing

BackgroundThe carabid beetle speciesPterostichus oblongopunctatusis common in different types of forests in Poland and Europe. With respect to this species, some unclarities exist concerning the morphological feature of punctures on the elytra.P. oblongopunctatushas dorsal pits in the third interval of the elytra, the available identification keys, however, provide inconsistent information concerning the puncture in other intervals. During long-term studies at different study sites in Poland, the first author rarely but regularly discovered individuals with unusual dorsal puncture patterns, i.e., pits in the fifth and even in the seventh interval of the elytra. Since such rare patterns might be connected with special habitat characteristics, and thus have a potential as an indicator, the aim of the study was to test if they are connected with specific subpopulations (interaction groups), if they are related to the sex or size of the beetles, and if they are related to specific habitat conditions.Material and MethodsWe counted the pits on the elytra, determined the sex, and measured the length of the right elytron of individuals ofP. oblongopunctatuscollected at numerous study sites located within the borders of the Regional Directory of National Forests in Piła (Western Poland) over the period 2014–2016.ResultsAltogether, 1,058 individuals ofP. oblongopunctatuswere subjected to statistical analysis. Almost 19% of the individuals had a dorsal puncture in the fifth interval of the elytra and about 0.7% had a dorsal puncture in the seventh interval of the elytra. In 2014 and 2015, significantly more females exhibited such unusual patterns of dorsal puncture than males. Even if not statistically significant, in 2016 also relatively more females showed such a pattern. Neither males nor females of the analysed individuals with usual puncture patterns showed a significant difference in the length of the right elytron from those with unusual puncture patterns, and neither for males nor for females a significant correlation of the percentage share of the individuals with unusual puncture patterns with the age of the study sites could be detected. However, both males and females with unusual patterns had more dorsal pits than those without. Moreover, males as well as females showed in all those years a trend that the individuals with unusual patterns have more pits in the third interval of the elytra.DiscussionThe results indicate that females are more likely to exhibit unusual patterns. Since individuals ofP. oblongopunctatuswith a higher number of pits on the elytra are supposed to prevail in more wet habitats, such patterns might be related to moisture conditions. The possibility of pits in the seventh interval of the elytra should be added to identification keys.

In the light of current global tendencies and a concern for the issue of environmental protection, this paper aims to provide an analysis of most important issues in this field, within the EU Law. Elements of the right to a healthy environment are systematically regulated in the communitarian law. First, there is a long-standing normative activity of these issues, which in the last two years resulted in the adoption of new strategic documents. Second, jurisprudence of the ECJ has also followed development of the legislation, as well as circumstances in which those documents have been applied. Therefore, special attention is drawn to the newly-adopted general acts, created with long-term aims, and based on normative and factual experience over past decades. Its purpose is to achieve sustainable development goals in a multidimensional manner. Furthermore, an analysis of selected judgments of the ECJ shows the efficiency in application of relevant regulations and directives. Moreover, the interpretation of the EU law is of special importance, where the ECJ has a significant role. With regard to the universal character of this topic, the paper provides a short overview of the relevant legal framework in the USA, Norway and Serbia. Negotiations on the joining the EU imply the harmonization of domestic law with the standards of the communitarian law. By observing the Serbian environmental legal framework, it could be said that there is determination and concrete measures in the process of harmonization. On the basis of previously mentioned issues, authors structured the paper and aspects of the research contained therein, followed by the conclusions provided in the final chapter.
