a b s t r a c tThe research presented here uses theoretical constructs of formal syntax to account for performance data in agreement production. The phenomenon examined is object interference in French, i.e., incorrect agreement of the verb with the object. In the first experiment, interference is shown to occur in object relative clauses despite the absence of any surface intervention on the subject-verb relation (e.g., * John parle aux patientes que le medicament guérissent; * John speaks to the patients-P that the medicine-S cure-P). Critically, no interference is found in complement clauses, superficially identical to the relatives (e.g., John dit aux patientes que le medicament guérit; John tells the patients-P that the medicine-S cures-S). Experiments 1-4 tease apart the role, in interference, of three properties that distinguish relative clauses from complement clauses: argumenthood, participle agreement and movement. Results suggest that interference is caused by object movement, and more particularly by the intervention, on agreement, of the intermediate trace of the moved object postulated in theoretical syntax to account for independent phenomena.

Why and its counterparts in some languages are argued to be externally merged in a low left-peripheral specifier of a dedicated functional category and subsequently moved to a criterial position higher in the left-peripheral space. The analysis considers both short-and longdistance construals of why, asymmetries of why-extraction in finite and nonfinite complement clauses, the position of 'why' in a multiple wh-movement language like Romanian, and the differences between why and how come. The analysis sharpens the formal differences between movement to a criterial position and movement out of cyclic domains via escape hatches.

Hallux valgus represents an acquired foot deformity defined by medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone combined with lateral shift of the hallux and medial metatarsophalageal joint eminence enlargement. The functional impairment and metatarsalgia generated stem from the biomechanical imbalance which does not allow for normal transfer of weight trough the first ray during walking. The results generated with our experience with the 1.1mm Mini TightRope® Disposable Kitin the treatment of hallux valgus are analyzed in this paper. A total number of 24 feet (12 bilateral cases) with hallux valgus, surgically treated in our department were followed for a period of minimum twelve months and evaluated. The results showed an improvement of the mean preoperative IMA 14.6°to 7.9° postoperatively and 9.2° at six months after surgery. The preoperative measured HVA was reduced from 28.4to 14.2° at once and 16.1° after six months. The AOFAS hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal score resulted improvement reflects the functional benefits. These results confirm the good correction potential of the technique and support it as avalid treatment option for mild to moderate severity hallux valgus.

In the school education institutions each manager/leader addresses its own style to apply in professional activity, and it may be the key to the success of the organization which he runs. According to the detailed knowledge of the legislation, problems of each sector of activity, paired with personal attention to all the problems of the members of the organization, demonstrating that the "cares about them", but also to create an environment inside the organization, can stimulate and motivate your entire organization toward achieving the target and the proposed objectives and even to obtain performance. The success within the organization may be determined by the way in which the manager is involved, and act according to the decisions which it takes in certain key moments.

Synovial chondromatosis is rare condition, a benign proliferation of the synovial membrane, with the possibility of forming large masses that produce cartilaginous bodies, that can either  remain attached to the synovium or can detach and float in the joint, producing mechanical damage to the joint surfaces. The cartilaginous bodies can, in time, transform, ossifying and later developing bone marrow or, in very rare cases, it may suffer malignant transformation to chondrosarcoma. We present a case of a 28 years old male, with synovial chondromatosis of the left shoulder, comprising of two large synovial masses, one extended into the axillary recess and long head of biceps tendon sheath and another large mass expanded towards the anterior thoracic wall and subclavian space. We treated the case in two stages, first by open surgical procedure with resection of the synovial mass, and secondary through the arthroscopic approach, with excision of the loose bodies and synovectomy by cauterization.
