Full textAbstract:
The essay presents a reconstruction and critical interpretation of four theories of authoritarian personality related to analysis of fascism. The first theory origins from a book The "Mass Psychology of Fascism" by Wilhelm Reich, published already before the Second World War, the second theory comes from a famous "The Authoritarian Personality" by Theodor W. Adorno. The third was presented by Alice Miller in "For Your Own Good", and the fourth – by Klaus Theweleit in groundbreaking "Male Fantasies". Only one of them, by Miller, refers directly to pedagogy. Nevertheless, the essay presents all four publications in relation to upbringing. The essay raises following questions: what is authoritarian personality? Which elements of education support its development and which prevent it? The theories are presented in relation to each other. Some of their conclusions are consistent, but other present conflicting positions. The dialectical method applied by the author enables to see, among others, how Adorno’s theories are put upside down by Miller, as well as Theweleit, who develops Reich’s ideas. The reconstruction of the dialogue between presented theories enables to put new questions related to the role of authoritarian personality in contemporary times.

Full textAbstract:
Tekst poświęcony jest roli rytuału i sztuki w pokonywaniu jednostkowego cierpienia i społecznych kryzysów. Choć niepopularny we współczesnej kulturze analgetyków, nastawionej na uzyskiwanie szybkich efektów, proces rytualny (jak pokazują za Turnerem Maria Mendel i Tomasz Szkudlarek), jest w swej istocie tożsamy z doświadczeniem kryzysu. Przechodzenie rytuałów ma więc potencjał transgresji, przekraczania sytuacji trudnych dla jednostek oraz społeczeństw. Omawiam to na przykładach przemian narracji porodowych oraz sposobów radzenia sobie z traumą przez Martina Millera, syna słynnej psychoterapeutki Alice Miller.
Inną cechą współczesnej kultury jest odrzucenie sacrum, co pokazuję na przykładzie usuwania teozoficznych wątków z biografii Marii Montessori i marginalizowania szkół waldorfskich Rudolfa Steinera, które wyrastają z kryzysu zachodniej racjonalności. Odtwarzane i zapośredniczone przez sztukę rytuały, wykorzystywane są w szkołach waldorfskich w celach wychowawczych i rozwojowych i zgodnie powyższymi teoriami mogą mieć potencjał pokonywania kryzysów związanych z dojrzewaniem.

W okresie poprzedzającym powstanie Izraela, a także w czasie Wojny o Niepodległość (pierwszej wojny arabsko-izraelskiej z 1948 r.), kobiety walczyły razem z mężczyznami w jednostkach o charakterze paramilitarnym. Kneset w 1949 r. uchwalił Ustawę o służbie obronnej. W tym dokumencie służba kobiet została ograniczona do służby nieliniowej. W artykule przedstawiono miejsce kobiet w izraelskiej armii, zasady poboru, zmiany związane ze sprawą Alice Miller (1995) i nowe wyzwania wynikające z obecności kobiet w jednostkach bojowych.

Full textAbstract:
In the following article Benjamin Lloyd uses the work of the noted Swiss psychologist Alice Miller to propose a new archetype – ‘the wounded actor’, a person in the throes of a narcissistic disorder, as defined by Miller in her book The Drama of the Gifted Child. He suggests that conventional actor training will not help the wounded actor, but that the re-introduction of spirituality into the acting-class curriculum may do so. In this light he looks at Stanislavsky's writings about spirituality, focusing on the chapter in An Actor Prepares called ‘Communion’. Linking Stanislavsky's spirituality to the writings and thought of Leo Tolstoy, he explores the reasons why the spiritual nature of Stanislavsky's work has not been generally explored in the West, and suggests some ways in which acting teachers may introduce spiritual concerns into their curricula. Benjamin Lloyd teaches at Villanova University. His The Actor's Way: a Journal of Self-Discovery in Letters is due for publication later this year by Allworth Press, New York, and he is currently facilitating a workshop on possible intersections between Quaker spiritual practice and theatre-making called ‘Revival: Meetings for Theatre’.

Full textAbstract:
Since Sarah Kofman's death in 1994, many critics have investigated her friendship with Jacques Derrida, and have tried to make sense of its striking dissymmetry. Contrary to those merely deeming Kofman ‘an orthodox Derridean’ (Alice Jardine), thus ascribing to her the unrewarding role of the disciple, Penelope Deutscher and more recently Ginette Michaud, among others, have endeavoured to interpret Derrida's odd silences and omissions regarding Kofman's work in a more subtle manner. Drawing on these readings, this article questions the erasure of ‘Sarah Kofman’ from Derrida's oeuvre by comparing it to the paradoxical effacement of ‘woman’ in the philosopher's texts, arguing that ‘Sarah Kofman’ both as a proper name and as a corpus figures the ‘woman’ missing from Derrida's work. Drawing on the work of feminist critics like Jardine, Miller and Spivak, the article retraces the ambiguous function of ‘woman’ in Derrida's writing, before stressing parallels between ‘Sarah Kofman’ and the Derridean ‘woman’.

So we took two invitations from Janet Miller and Ivor Goodson to think about the policy in question. In addition to these authors, we also set out our arguments with the studies of Elizabeth Macedo and Alice Lopes, in the discussions on theory and curricular policy; Lana Cavalcanti and Marcelo Pereira, on geography teaching; and Ruy Moreira and Milton Santos as access to geographic thought. The text begins with the discussion of curriculum, pointing out the dissonance between the proposal and the debate about curricular theory. Next, the discussion points to the antidemocratic character that invigorates the basic proposal, neglecting the accumulated social debate in the research, daily experiences and the difference in social production. Finally, we stress that the arguments defined for Geography do not dialogue with the field and we point out that the BNCC disregards the transgressor character of the educational processes (e) of production of meaning on and in school, in and on space.KEYWORDSNational Common Curricular Base, Curriculum, Geographic education.ISSN: 2236-3904REVISTA BRASILEIRA DE EDUCAÇÃO EM GEOGRAFIA - RBEGwww.revistaedugeo.com.br - revistaedugeo@revistaedugeo.com.br

Full textAbstract:
My current clinical practice has been shifted to a telehealth format for the last three months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it seems an apt moment to reexamine my participation in Dr. Roseanne Dobkin’s research on manualized telehealth therapy for depression in Parkinson’s disease patients (dPD), using a protocol titled "Teleheath Guided Self-Help for dPD," or "TH-GSH-dPD," for short (Dobkin et al., 2020). My participation involved, in part, being the therapist in four case studies I have written about with "Alice," "Carl," "Ethan," and "Gary" (Durland, 2020). In these case studies, a subset of those in Dr. Dobkin’s group studies, I explored my clinical decision-making, seeking insight into how best to flexibly apply the dPD protocol to meet the needs of a heterogeneous clinical population. Here, my aim is to recontextualize and expand on the conclusions of my four case studies, based on my dissertation and conducted over three years ago (Durland, 2017), in light of both my recent experience providing mental health services and the Commentaries on the four case studies so perceptively contributed by Dr. Dobkin and her colleagues (Mann, Miller, St. Hill, Dobkin, 2020) and by Liza Pincus (2020). In particular, I will focus first on (a) continuing the analysis of clinical decision-making involved in the case studies described in my earlier article (Duland, 2020); and then on (b) general issues related to the delivery of telehealth treatment.

An old friend, Jim Cleary, working on the monumentalBibliography of Australian Literatureat the University of Queensland, recently rang to tell me about the elusive modernist poet Anna Wickham. ‘Wickham’ is the pen-name of Edith Alice Mary Harper, ‘one of the most significant feminist poets of modernism’, who published between the 1910s and the 1930s. The author of over one thousand poems, covering a remarkable diversity of forms, Wickham was described in the memoir of American publisher Louis Untermeyer as ‘a remarkable gypsy of a woman’. During her tempestuous life, she mixed with members of the London Chelsea and Bloomsbury sets, plunged into the literary and artistic circles of the Parisiandemi-monde, had a brief sexual relationship with pioneer American modernist poet H.D. (Hilda Dolittle), was sexually spurned by lesbian heiress and literary patron Natalie Clifford Barney, and became closely aligned with D.H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda von Richthofen, as well as Dylan Thomas and Caitlin MacNamara, falling out with the latter couple after throwing a drunken ‘Thomas and fellow writer Lawrence Durrell out of the house’. She was also close friends with the erratic novelist Malcolm Lowry, whetted the appetites of Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin, and helped to mentor the young Stephen Spender. Somewhat like T.S. Eliot's wife Vivien Haigh-Wood, she was incarcerated at one point in a mental institution by her husband, solicitor Patrick Hepburn, And, like Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. she died by her own hand, hanging herself in her decaying home on Parliament Hill, London, following the freezing winter of 1947.

Abstract Since the toxicology field was established, women have played a critical role in it. This article is written to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the Special Interest Group for Women in Toxicology, affiliated with the Society of Toxicology. Six female pioneers in modern Toxicology from different social classes and education backgrounds are featured. Despite these differences, they overcame similar obstacles in gender, politics, and scientific barriers to disseminate their research. This discussion will start with Ellen Swallow Richards, who, besides being the pioneer in sanitary engineering, founded the home economics movement that applied science to the home. The discussion will continue with Alice Hamilton, a contributor to occupational health, a pioneer in the field of industrial toxicology, and an example of generosity to social movements and those in need. Subsequently, the most famous woman we discuss in this paper is Rachel Carson, whose fundamental work in environmental Toxicology is evidenced in her important book Silent Spring. This article also features Elizabeth Miller, a biochemist known for her fundamental research in cancer carcinogenesis, followed by Mary Amdur. Nowadays much of what we know about air pollution comes due to Mary, who paid from her own pocket for her experimental animals to investigate Donora smog pollutants and their health damages. And last but not least Elizabeth Weisburger, a chemist who made significant contributions in carcinogenesis and chemotherapy drugs who worked for 40 years at the National Cancer Institute. Here, we discuss the aforementioned women’s careers and personal struggles that transformed toxicology into the field we know now.

Full textAbstract:
This edition of the journal sees the launch of a new regular trainee-orientated section. Over the course of a rolling five-year cycle we will be publishing a series of articles which will cover the ‘Emergency Presentations’, ‘The Top 20 Common Medical Presentations’, ‘Other Important Presentations’ and ‘Practical Procedures’ outlined in the curriculum for Acute Internal Medicine 2009. Articles will take the form of a problem-based review that uses a brief clinical case (real or fictional) and its development to illustrate the assessment, differential diagnosis and management of the common presentations to Acute Medicine. We hope these reviews will highlight recent evidence-based guidelines and provide readers with clinically useful ‘pearls and pitfalls’ from specialist experience that can be easily applied to future practice. Although many of these reviews will be commissioned directly by the editors of the journal, if you do have a particular interest in producing a review relating to a specific curriculum topic, please contact me at tomheaps@hotmail.co.uk. Similarly, I would welcome any early feedback relating to the content and format of this new journal section. This edition features reviews of the management of GI bleeding and paraplegia which I hope will be of interest to readers of various levels of seniority. Dr Joe Wileman has also produced a ‘Journal Watch’ section, which we plan to repeat in future editions (again contact me directly if you are interested in undertaking this for a future edition) and there is a ‘trainee update’ from Alice Miller.

Abstract The aims of this work were to determine which storage conditions can preserve the quince quality (Cydonia oblonga Miller, Rosaceae family), stored in three different rooms with controlled atmosphere (CA). Due to their reported high polyphenolic content in the fruit, three varieties of quinces, like Ekmek, Bereczhi and Tinella were stored and monitored for twelve months. During storage period, the following quality parameters were monitored: dry matter content (D.M.%), titratable acidity (TA), soluble solids (°Brix), firmness, antioxidant capacity and also content in total flavonoids and total polyphenols. After twelve months of storage, observations showed that quince from Tinella variety presented better quality parameters compared to quinces from Ekmek and Bereczhi varieties. As expected, keeping quinces in the presence of CO2content, respectively 2% and 5%, presented better physical and biochemical quality compared with those stored without CO2 (control).

Full textAbstract:
Shore flies (Scatella stagnalis) have been implicated as an aerial vector of several soilborne plant pathogens of greenhouse crops. A strain of Beauveria bassiana (Bb), isolated from a shore fly cadaver, was evaluated as a biopesticide for the control of shore flies. Bb was grown on autoclaved millet seed for 2 weeks, air-dried at 24°C for 7 days and stored in paper bags. Dried Bb-colonized millet seeds were broadcast on the surface of pots containing potting medium naturally-infested with larvae and pupae or pots infested only with adult flies. Controls consisted of insect-infested pots amended with autoclaved millet seeds. Pots of the same treatment were placed in insect-proof screen cages. At daily intervals for 15 days, adult fly populations were recorded in each cage. In cages initially containing only larvae and pupae, adult fly populations in the control (no Bb) treatment reached a final population of 70 adults on day 15. In contrast only two adult flies were observed in the Bb-treatment. In cages containing only adult shore flies, the entire population was dead within 10 to 12 days in the Bb-treatment. In the absence of Bb, 65% of the initial population of adults was still alive on day 12.

Full textAbstract:
To achieve better results in the no-tillage system (NTS), it is important to properly manage the cover crop prior to planting by using herbicides, usually glyphosate. The effect of glyphosate on plant coverage is slow, and plants take a few days to die completely. Thus, when applying the herbicide on the same day of planting soybean or corn, cover crops are still alive and standing, causing initial shading on seedlings of the crop and delaying its establishment. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of distinct cover crops and their timing of desiccation prior to planting soybean or corn, on crop yield and yield components. Two experiments were installed, one for soybean and another for corn. Each experiment consisted in combining three cover crops (Brachiaria brizantha, common bean or millet) chemically desiccated at two timings before planting the crop (15 or 0 days before planting) under no-tillage system (NTS). Experiments were installed in a completely randomized block design with five replications. Brachiaria brizantha produced the highest amount of biomass; common bean and millet as cover crops allowed higher soybean grain yields; herbicide application under common bean, millet and Brachiaria brizantha 15 days before planting soybean allowed higher crop grain yields; desiccation timing of common bean did not affect corn grain yield; Brachiaria brizantha should be desiccated 15 days before planting corn to allow maximum grain yield; when millet was used as a cover crop, glyphosate application at planting of corn allowed the highest grain yield.

“‘LETTERS!’ … ‘I BELIEVE HE DREAMS IN LETTERS!’” so exclaims Betsey Trotwood of Mr. Micawber, the epistolary aficionado of Charles Dickens'sDavid Copperfield(664; ch. 54). David's aunt Betsey is not the only one to wonder at Micawber's prolific, albeit prolix, nature. His letters have made him a favorite of nineteenth- and twentieth-century readers alike; his “in short” has become one of the most memorable Dickensian tag-lines. But however much attention Micawber's epistolary endeavors garner, this notice fails to raise him to the position of respected writer–the position reserved for the eponymous hero of the novel. In the usual line of thinking, David stands as the ideal literary man while Micawber molders in the world of fantasy and comedy in which J. B. Priestley, James Kincaid, and J. Hillis Miller so securely position him.

Full textAbstract:
After more than thirty years of solo autobiographical theatre created by LGBTQQIA performers throughout the West, the primary focus of shows made by artists of these identities has more or less remained stable since 1980. In 1982, queer performance artist Tim Miller presented the autobiographical solo show Post-War, and he is part of what is now a tradition of presenting out, celebratory, authentic LGBTQQIA stories onstage. As a self-identified trans performance artist and performing researcher, I have taken part in this practice. Performances, extending from Miller in 1982 to J MASE III in 2014, continue to revolve around the necessity of ‘coming out’, presenting the stories of how we came to know and experience the ‘truths’ of our identities. Performance theorist Deirdre Heddon confirms that these autobiographical works have largely been concerned with, and successful in, ‘using the public arena to “speak out”, attempting to make visible denied or marginalized subjects, or to “talk back”, aiming to challenge, contest and problematize dominant representations and assumptions about those subjects'. Works such as Miller's Glory Box (1999), which used his personal history of having a partner who is not a US citizen to discuss gay marriage and legal immigration for same-sex couples, and trans and Tamil performer D’Loco Kid's D’FaQto Life (2013), which presented an intersectionally marginalized trans person of colour's experience and narrative, have been critical in supporting political and personal empowerment for audiences and performers alike.

None of those New Zealand men who served as official war correspondents in World War II are alive today to tell their stories. It is left to the media historian to try and piece together their lives and actions, always regretting that research had not started sooner. Sadly there is more information available about World War I and the life and actions of Malcolm Ross, the country’s first official war correspondent, than there is about New Zealand’s World War II correspondents. Nevertheless, remembering the work of these journalists is important, so this is a first attempt at chronicling the circumstances surrounding the appointment of the first of the official correspondents, John Herbert Hall and Robin Templeton Miller, for the 1939-45 conflict. The story of the appointment of men to cover the war, whether as press correspondents, photographers, artists or broadcasters, is one of ‘absurd delays’ which were not resolved until nearly two years of the war had passed.

Big-leaf mahogany is the world’s most valuable widely traded tropical timber species and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has been applied as a tool for discriminating its wood from similar species using multivariate analysis. In this study four look-alike timbers of Swietenia macrophylla (mahogany or big-leaf mahogany), Carapa guianensis (crabwood), Cedrela odorata (cedar or cedro) and Micropholis melinoniana (curupixá) have been successfully discriminated using NIRS and Partial Least Squares for Discriminant Analysis using solid block and milled samples. Species identification models identified 155 samples of S. macrophylla from 27 countries with a correct classification rate higher than 96.8%. For these specimens, the NIRS spectrum variation was more powerful for species identification than for determining provenance of S. macrophylla at the country level.

Abstract Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an increasingly utilized technique to treat symptoms of neurological movement disorders, most commonly, Parkinson’s Disease. Patients and surgeons alike appreciate the minimally invasive nature of this procedure, as well as its reversibility. As these surgeries are being performed more often, it is becoming increasingly important to optimize our anesthetic management during these cases. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the DBS procedures that have been performed at our institution utilizing monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) via dexmedetomidine infusion to report on the frequency and type of perioperative complications as well as to assess the effectiveness of this technique. Results: A total of 150 patients and 174 lead placements were included in this study. Dexmedetomidine was the sole anaesthetic used in 85.6% of cases. The remaining cases used a combination of dexmedetomidine and adjuvant agents. A total of one perioperative complication was found in our series, resulting in a total complication rate percentage per patient of 0.6%.Conclusions: We found very few perioperative complications associated with the use of dexmedetomidine during these challenging cases. With its anxiolytic, sedative, and analgesic properties coupled with preservation of respiration and a short half-life, dexmedetomidine has ideal properties for DBS procedures.

Looking for in this text to highlight the relevance of curricular theorization to think about teacher training processes and the meanings in dispute, considering studies carried out in our research groups. The work highlights a collective bet in the processes of escape, in the face of regulatory policies that, despite differences, increasingly center the issue of the curriculum from a culture of testing, which has subsumed education to teaching (learning). Defends curriculum as a meaning, a perspective that supports different formative processes, which seek to value "the school floor" in an active dynamic in which politics is constituted. In this sense, disagrees that the quality of education necessarily passes through curricular centralization, nor that it is a matter of guarantee. Curricular policies - which in their complexity have been analyzed by us - in a scenario of educational reforms, hybridize disputes that seek to silence teacher action and colonize practices, as well as suggest changes brought about by the different governments, which have been the focus of the discussions in the groups. The argument suggests that the senses are not the same, the contexts and the interpretations are different, which then challenges us to analyze politics in a non-statecentric way. In this sense, escape is always possible, even if conditions do not favor it.ResumoProcura-se neste texto destacar a relevância da teorização curricular para pensar os processos de formação docente e os sentidos em disputa, considerando estudos realizados em nossos grupos de pesquisa. O trabalho põe em relevo uma aposta coletiva nos processos de escape, frente às políticas regulatórias que, a despeito das diferenças, cada vez mais centralizam a questão do currículo a partir de uma cultura da testagem, a qual tem subsumido educação a ensino (aprendizagem). Defende-se, diferentemente, o currículo como significação, perspectiva esta que ampara distintos processos formativos, os quais buscam valorizar “o chão da escola” em uma dinâmica ativa na qual a política se constitui. Nesse sentido, discorda que a qualidade da educação passe necessariamente pela centralização curricular, tampouco de que se trata de uma questão de garantia. As políticas curriculares – que em sua complexidade têm sido analisada por nós - em um cenário de reformas educacionais, hibridizam disputas que buscam silenciar a ação docente e colonizar as práticas, bem como sugerem também mudanças provocadas pelos distintos governos, as quais têm ocupado a tônica das discussões nos grupos. A argumentação sugere que os sentidos não são os mesmos, distintos são os contextos e as interpretações, o que interpela a seguir analisando a política de uma maneira não estadocêntrica. Nesse sentido, o escape sempre é possível, ainda que as condições não favoreçam.Keywords: Curriculum, Teacher training, Culture and education.Palavras-chave: Currículo, Formação docente, Cultura e educação.ReferencesAPPADURAI, Arjun.

Over the past two decades, political polarization has shaken the domestic foundations of U.S. grand strategy, sorely testing bipartisan support for liberal internationalism. Stephen Chaudoin, Helen Milner, and Dustin Tingley take issue with this interpretation, contending that liberal internationalism in the United States is alive and well. Their arguments, however, do not stand up to careful scrutiny. Their analysis of congressional voting and public opinion fails to demonstrate the persistence of bipartisanship on foreign policy. Indeed, the partisan gap that widened during George W. Bush's administration has continued during the presidency of Barack Obama, confirming that a structural change has taken place in the domestic bases of U.S. foreign policy. President Obama now faces the unenviable challenge of conducting U.S. statecraft during an era when consensus will be as elusive at home as it is globally.

AbstractIntroductionVeterans Health Administration (VHA) is undergoing changes in the practice of health care focusing on approaches that prioritize veteran well-being. Given transformation efforts, opportunities exist to enhance the health and well-being of patients and employees alike – a significant proportion of whom are veterans. To date, differences in health status between veteran and civilian employees within VHA have not been examined.Materials and MethodsData from an annual organizational census survey with health promotion module conducted in 2015 were analyzed to estimate the prevalence of health risk behaviors, mental health, and chronic health conditions by veteran status within genders (n = 86,257). To further examine associations by gender between veteran status and health measures controlling for covariates, multivariate logistic regression analyses were utilized.ResultsPrevalence estimates generally indicated veterans have worse health status and health risk behaviors than their civilian counterparts. Results from multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated many significant associations between veteran status and health by gender controlling for other important demographic variables and a total comorbidity score. Compared to civilian employees within respective genders, both male and female veteran employees have increased odds of being a current smoker. Both male and female veteran employees have decreased odds of physical inactivity compared to civilian employees. For mental health and chronic health conditions, there are several conditions that veteran employees have increased odds for when compared to civilian employees of like gender; these include low back problems, arthritis, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders.ConclusionsVeteran employees in VHA have worse health status than their civilian counterparts on a number of measures of health risk behaviors, mental health, and chronic health conditions. Given current organizational priorities aimed at cultural transformation, the present time is an optimal one to work collaboratively to enhance the health and well-being services that are available for patients and employees alike. All employees, particularly our unique population of veteran employees, will benefit from such an approach.

Over the past ten years mortality for breast cancer in the UK has been falling. The decrement has been more substantial in the 20 to 69 age group, which has seen a 22% decrease, while in the 70 to 79 age group the decrease has been milder at 12%. The incidence of the disease, however, is increasing and many women have a relative or friend with a disease that they perceive to be extremely mutilating. Fear of breast cancer is such among women that it is mistakenly viewed as the most common cause of death in females. Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has many benefits and is particularly effective in the prevention of osteoporosis. But, to obtain this effect, HRT has to be continued for many years and long-term treatment has been shown to slightly increase the risk of breast cancer. This fact forcefully stimulated the imagination of both press and public alike.

Full textAbstract:
11100 Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between estrogen receptor (ER) status, amplification of HER-2, and tumor response to PST with docetaxel and trastuzumab in breast cancers positive for HER-2 by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Long-term disease-free survival data are also reported. Methods: Eligible patients were those with T2 or T3 tumors and overexpression of HER-2 via IHC. Docetaxel 100 mg/sq m q. 3 weeks × 4 with growth factor support and weekly trastuzumab × 12 were given before surgery. The Miller-Payne system was used to define pathologic responses (PR) in the excision specimen (0, 1, 2 - no/minimal response; 3 - 4 partial response, pPR; 5 - complete response, pCR). Adjuvant therapy was given at the discretion of the treating oncologist. Results: Of 22 enrolled patients, 19 were assessable. 17 of the 19 subjects had subsequent FISH confirmation of HER-2 status. Six subjects (31%) had a pCR. Of these, 5 had strong amplification of HER-2 and 5 had tumors that were ER-negative. A pPR occurred in an additional 2 subjects (10%). Of the 11 subjects who had no or minimal PR (Miller-Payne 0 - 2), 8 were found to have no amplification for HER-2 and 9 had tumors that were ER-positive. Postoperative (adjuvant) chemotherapy was given to 17 patients. All 12 patients with ER-positive tumors received adjuvant hormonal therapy. Three patients had an asymptomatic decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 10 - 15% after anthracycline containing chemotherapy, and one had symptomatic non-ischemic cardiomyopathy of unclear etiology 4 years after completion of study therapy and an anthracycline. With a median follow up of 56 months, all 19 participants are alive and disease-free. Conclusion: PST with a 12-week course of trastuzumab and docetaxel is safe and effective, produces a substantial pCR rate, and may result in excellent long-term recurrence-free and overall survival. The subset of patients with tumors that were IHC-positive, but FISH-negative for HER-2, and ER-positive had minimal or no response to therapy, highlighting the importance of identifying patients most likely to respond to trastuzumab-based regimens.

Full textAbstract:
Detached, unrooted cladodes (stem segments) of the widely cultivated prickly pear cactus Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller (Cactaceae), which remain alive for at least 12 months, provide a model system for investigating stem responses to environmental factors. Initiation of organs varied seasonally; on average 2.14 new organs were initiated per cladode over a 16-week period in a glasshouse for cladodes detached in winter, 0.76 when detached in late spring, and only 0.07 when detached in late summer. Shading by 45% halved new organ initiation and shading by 95% decreased it by 96%. The seasonal and light responses for new organ initiation are consistent with field observations on O. ficus-indica. For detached cladodes maintained in environmental chambers for 14 weeks, the new organs were 10 times more likely to be fruit than daughter cladodes at day/night temperatures of 15/5 °C, equally likely to be either organ at 25/15 °C, and 10 times more likely to be daughter cladodes than fruit at 35/25 °C. Decreasing the shading or the temperature favored stomatal opening, as shown by increases in the dry mass/fresh mass ratio of the detached cladodes. Such increased stomatal opening was accompanied by increased photosynthetic activity, as shown by greater starch content and higher concentrations of sucrose, glucose, and fructose. Why low day/night temperatures favored reproductive structures and high temperatures favored vegetative ones is not clear, but future research using unrooted cladodes may help elucidate the mechanisms involved.

Kennedy (1946) stated that “A compensation neurosis is a state of mind, born out of fear, kept alive by avarice, stimulated by lawyersand curedby a verdict”. This theme, supported by Miller's influential paper in 1961, has ensured that genera tions of patients havebeenregardedwith suspicion if they daredto presentwith psychologicalsymptoms following an accident. The view remained un challenged for over a decade and is still often presentedto, and acceptedby, our Courts, despite the fact that Miller reached his conclusions after examiningpatientwsho presentefdorlegarleports in whose casesit was not surprising that he found a relationship betweencompensation and psycho logical sequelae The psychological effects of proceeding litigation on the victim of an accident remain a matter of current debate. McKinley et al (1983), reported differences betweenthose patients suffering a severeblunt headinjury claimingcompen sation and those not claiming compensation. The reports givenby relativesof changesin both patients werevery similar. However, reports given by patients themselves differed with claimants reporting slightly more symptoms than non-claimants. In a study by Whitein 1981, the author followed up 163 victims of accidents admitted to the Birmingham Accident Hospital (76 burns and 87 general accidents). One year after their accident, psychological sequelaewere found in approximately two-thirds of the group, one third being moderately-to-severely psychologically affected. There was no statistical difference between those victims in whom the accident had given rise to litigation and in whom the case was still proceeding and those victims where compensation was not an issue.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay I argue that Anthony Trollope's The Warden (1855) anticipates and problematizes Trollope's oft-cited representativeness of the Victorian period generally, and Victorian liberalism in particular. As JŸrgen Habermas has shown, Victorian liberalism should be construed less in terms of its promotion of pluralism than in terms of an"ambivalence" as to its practical implications. Correspondingly, The Warden offers a performative exemplification of Victorian liberalism that is instructive precisely because it paradoxically refuses definitively to represent it. The instruction I would draw from this paradox relates to the moral "pinch" that Septimus Harding, the novel's protagonist,feels as a result of his aspiration to "be right" as opposed to being "proved" right. This paradox disrupts the reader's reflexive inclination to read Harding's emancipation in traditionally Romantic terms. Just as Harding was "awoken" from the self-induced oblivion of a hegemonic morality, so too the reader is awoken from the self-induced oblivion of the disciplinary conventions of Victorian literary experience that D. A. Miller and David Lloyd critique. Thus the novel can be said to embody Victorian liberalism precisely to the extent that it illuminates the question of such embodiment as open, as a practical problem confronting and animating Victorian society. Hence Trollope makes Harding's imaginary cello-playing the medium or 'embodiment' of his"awakening": the pursuit of "right being" is a matter of "testing" the boundaries of political action and aesthetic imagination alike.

Objective:We report a case series of 10 patients with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)–transaminase deficiency including a novel therapeutic trial and an expanded phenotype.Methods:Case ascertainment, literature review, comprehensive evaluations, and long-term treatment with flumazenil.Results:All patients presented with neonatal or early infantile-onset encephalopathy; other features were hypotonia, hypersomnolence, epilepsy, choreoathetosis, and accelerated linear growth. EEGs showed burst-suppression, modified hypsarrhythmia, multifocal spikes, and generalized spike-wave. Five of the 10 patients are currently alive with age at last follow-up between 18 months and 9.5 years. Treatment with continuous flumazenil was implemented in 2 patients. One patient, with a milder phenotype, began treatment at age 21 months and has continued for 20 months with improved alertness and less excessive adventitious movements. The second patient had a more severe phenotype and was 7 years of age at initiation of flumazenil, which was not continued.Conclusions:GABA-transaminase deficiency presents with neonatal or infantile-onset encephalopathy including hypersomnolence and choreoathetosis. A widened phenotypic spectrum is reported as opposed to lethality by 2 years of age. The GABA-A benzodiazepine receptor antagonist flumazenil may represent a therapeutic strategy.

Full textAbstract:
The Scythians are frequently presented, in popular and academic thought alike, as highly mobile warrior nomads who posed a great economic risk to growing Mediterranean empires from the Iron Age into the Classical period. Archaeological studies provide evidence of first millennium BCE urbanism in the steppe while historical texts reference steppe agriculture, challenging traditional characterizations of Scythians as nomads. However, there have been few direct studies of the diet and mobility of populations living in the Pontic steppe and forest-steppe during the Scythian era. Here, we analyse strontium, oxygen, and carbon isotope data from human tooth enamel samples, as well as nitrogen and carbon isotope data of bone collagen, at several Iron Age sites across Ukraine commonly associated with ‘Scythian’ era communities. Our multi-isotopic approach demonstrates generally low levels of human mobility in the vicinity of urban locales, where populations engaged in agro-pastoralism focused primarily on millet agriculture. Some individuals show evidence for long-distance mobility, likely associated with significant inter-regional connections. We argue that this pattern supports economic diversity of urban locales and complex trading networks, rather than a homogeneous nomadic population.

Full textAbstract:
Peripherally acquired transmissible spongiform encephalopathies display strikingly long incubation periods, during which increasing amounts of prions can be detected in lymphoid tissues. While precise sites of peripheral accumulation have been described, the mechanisms of prion transport from mucosa and skin to lymphoid and nervous tissues remain unknown. Because of unique functional abilities, dendritic cells (DCs) have been suspected to participate in prion pathogenesis. In mice inoculated subcutaneously with scrapie-infected DCs, the incubation was shorter when cells were alive as compared with killed cells, suggesting that DC functions may facilitate prion neuroinvasion. However, early propagation in lymphoid tissues seemed not importantly affected by DC vitality. Mutant (plt) mice that have deficient CCL19/CCL21 expression and DC migration displayed similar infection of secondary lymphoid organs as normal mice, regardless of the route of inoculation and scrapie strain. Under certain conditions of transcutaneous inoculation, the incubation and duration of disease were moderately prolonged in plt mice. This was not related to a milder neuropathogenesis, since plt and normal mice were equally susceptible to intracerebral prion challenge. We conclude that peripheral spreading of prions appears poorly dependent on cell migration through the chemokine/receptor system CCL19/CCL21/CCR7, although DCs might be able to help prions reach sites of neuroinvasion.

Abstract Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) from healthy donors is the only treatment modality for the correction of hematological abnormalities in Fanconi aplastic anemia (FAA) patients. We have performed SCT by using two different non total body irradiation conditioning regimens. While anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG, 10–30mg/kg/day, 3 days), cyclophosphamide (5mg/kg/day, 4 days) and thoraco-abdominal radiation (total 5Gy) were used for six patients (regimen A), fludarabine (120–150mg/m2 totally), cyclophosphamide (10mg/kg/day, 4 days), ATG (30mg/kg/day, 3 days) were given to four patients (regimen B). Six of the patients received regimen A and 4 regimen B. Donors were HLA-matched sibling in 5, HLA-matched parent in 2, partly HLA-matched parent in 2 and HLA-matched unrelated donor in one. All patients and donors were screened by diepoxybutane (DEB) test. Seven of the patients were DEB positive. All donors were DEB negative. Median age of the patients was 10 years. All patients received antimicrobial, antifungal prophylaxis and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG, 500 mg/kg weekly) from day −7 to day +180. Cyclosporin A (CsA) was used for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in eight patients and CsA plus mycophenolate mofetil in one matched unrelated patient. Neutrophil and platelet engraftment occurred in all patients on day 10 (median) and day 21 (median), respectively. Grade II-IV acute GVHD occurred in two patients who received regimen A. Conditioning-related toxicity was milder in regimen B than that in regimen A. Three patients succumbed from complications of grade IV acute GVHD, post-transplant acute myeloid leukemia and fungal pulmonary infection in regimen A group. All of the regimen B group were alive with normal hematological parameters. Totally, seven patients are alive with sustained engraftment and transfusion independent with median follow-up 19 months (range 2–50). We conclude that fludarabine based conditioning regimen is well tolerated and ideally suited to reduce regimen-related toxicities while achieving sustained engraftment in FAA patients SCT using sibling, related and unrelated donor.

AbstractDue to advancements in telecommunications and transportation over the past century, the world is shrinking and physical boundaries are being eroded. The advent of globalization has facilitated the flow of ideas, values, goods, and people from one part of the world to another. This hyperbolic human activity has altered the structure of inter-civilizational relations and has spawned a spirited debate on how to create a multi-civilizational world order. This paper is critical of contemporary approaches on the subject that envisage the primacy of one civilization on the one hand and a clash among civilizations on the other. By examining Ibn Khaldun's theory of 'Umrān and the discipline of Fiqh, it argues that these concepts remain relevant for our understanding of the human condition today. While the theory of Umrān analyzes political and economic relations at the macro-level, Fiqh tries to arrange societal relations at the micro-level. This paper also studies the Ottoman legacy since the Ottoman state was founded on Fiqh and the Millet system. It proved to be successful in preserving pluralistic communities based on principles of autonomy and mutual coexistence. Even though Ibn Khaldun was one of the pioneers in the field of civilizational studies, his seminal work is largely neglected in scholarly circles today, both Muslim and non-Muslim alike. The present inquiry seeks to address this shortcoming.

Birth defects in the uterus result from abnormal fusion of the miler ducts and / or failure. Uterine malformations are a common cause of infertility, but if pregnancy occurs absorption from the septum. They are relatively frequent and concern 0.1-3% of the female population, such a situation is potentially high risk obstetric. We report here, 11 cases of uterine malformations during pregnancy seen at the CHUGOB from May 01, 2017 to May 01, 2018. We observed 11 cases of uterine malformations during pregnancy, including 3 cases of didelphus uterus, 3 cases of pseudo-unicornuate uterus, 3 cases of bicornuate uterus, 1 case of septate uterus and 1 case of true unicornuate uterus. The age of the parturients ranged from 22 to 26 with a mean of 23.63 years. Regarding pregnancy, 5 women were primigest, 4 were paucigest and 2 were multiparous. For gestational age, 09 cases came to term and 2 cases pregnancy stopped at 17 weeks. The average birth weight was 2215g. The diagnosis of the malformation was made before the caesarean section in 2 out of 10 cases. Eight out of 10 cases of the fetuses were alive. Congenital uterine malformations are often asymptomatic. The occurrence of pregnancy in a malformed uterus is a rare but potentially serious situation. The diagnosis of these abnormalities is based on new advanced imaging means such as 3D ultrasound.

Full textAbstract:
Some eucalyptus species can be associated to the production of zones where vegetation is absent, sparse and/or less diverse and vigorous than surrounding zones away from eucalypts. These zones have been documented with eucalypts growing as native or introduced species. Yield reduction and poor plant performance is frequent when some crops, annual or perennial, are planted within or around eucalypt stands. Although competition for water, light and nutrients can explain some of these inhibition patterns, it is insufficient to explain others. Field evidence suggests that allelopathy explains, at least partially, the aforementioned inhibition areas. Inhibition zones are absent where the soil does not accumulate allelochemicals and the watering or rainy regime leaches them out, or the plants surronding eucalypts are unaffected by the chemicals. Phenolic acids, tannins, flavonoids and/or terpenoids have been isolated from eucalypt bark, litter and leaves; leaf hates or extracts from these parts have been shown to be phytotoxic in vitro and in greenhouse experiments for most target speciestested. Allelochemicals are normally released, from intact, dead or alive, eucalypt tissues and accumulated in water or soil in concentrations high enough to produce allelopathic effects. Milled or chopped eucalypt parts release more allelochemicals and faster than intact parts. Although no published work contains a li the undisputed evidence required to demonstrate eucalypts allelopathy, the body of evidence in the published works suggests that some eucalypt species do produce allelopathic effects in natural conditions.

Following the idea first expressed by Heinrich Swoboda, there is a general perception that the meaning of ἀτιμία in Athens eventually evolved from the original ‘outlawry’, when an ἄτιμος was liable to being deprived of his property and slayed with impunity if he returned to the land from which he had been banished, into a certain limitation on civic status, which has often been rendered as a ‘disfranchisement’. Specific outcomes of this later form of ἀτιμία varied depending on the dating and circumstances of individual cases, thereby giving rise to theories of a so-called full – or ‘total’ – and partial ἀτιμία. Still, whether it was viewed as ‘full’ or ‘partial’, this ἀτιμία did not inflict the death penalty. The precise dating of the transformation of ἀτιμία has also been debated, with opinions ranging from pre-Solonian times (L'Homme-Wéry) to the late sixth (Swoboda, Hansen, Manville) or the late fifth century (Scafuro). While the exact dating is unknown, this transformation was definitely over in the fifth century, when inscriptions and literary texts mentioned punishment by ἀτιμία alongside the death penalty and the confiscation of property. Thus, according to Raphael Sealey, ἀτιμία evolved ‘from a more severe to a milder sense’, and Alick R.W. Harrison pointed to the evidence that, by the fourth century, any willing Athenian could seize an ἄτιμος who happened to be in Athenian territory and surrender him to the θεσμοθέται, instead of killing him.

ABSTRACT We compared the effects of DQ-113, a new quinolone, to those of vancomycin (VCM) and teicoplanin (TEIC) in murine models of hematogenous pulmonary infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and VCM-insensitive S. aureus (VISA). The MICs of DQ-113, VCM, and TEIC for MRSA were 0.125, 1.0, and 0.5μ g/ml, respectively; and those for VISA were 0.25, 8.0, and 8.0μ g/ml, respectively. Treatment with DQ-113 resulted in a significant decrease in the number of viable bacteria in the lungs of the mice used in the MRSA infection model (counts in mice treated with DQ-113, VCM, and TEIC and control mice, 6.33 ± 0.22, 7.99± 0.14, 7.36 ± 0.20, and 8.47 ± 0.22 log10 CFU/lung [mean ± standard error of the mean], respectively [P < 0.01 for the group treated with DQ-113 compared with the group treated with VCM or TEIC or the untreated group]). Mice infected with VISA were pretreated with cyclophosphamide, and the survival rate was recorded daily for 10 days. At the end of this period, 90% of the DQ-113-treated mice were still alive, whereas only 45 to 55% of the mice in the other three groups were still alive (P < 0.05 for the group treated with DQ-113 compared with the group treated with VCM or TEIC or the untreated group]). DQ-113 also significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the number of viable bacteria in the lungs compared with those in the lungs of the other three groups (counts in mice treated with DQ-113, VCM, and TEIC and control mice, 5.76 ± 0.39, 7.33 ± 0.07, 6.90± 0.21, and 7.44 ± 0.17 log10 CFU/lung, respectively). Histopathological examination revealed milder inflammatory changes in DQ-113-treated mice than in the mice in the other groups. Of the antibiotics analyzed, the parameters of area under the concentration-time from 0 to 6 h (AUC0-6)/MIC and the time that the AUC0-6 exceeded the MIC were the highest for DQ-113. Our results suggest that DQ-113 is potent and effective for the treatment of hematogenous pulmonary infections caused by MRSA and VISA strains.

ABSTRACT Introduction Ultrasound guidance is now widely available in military treatment facilities and civilian hospitals alike, both in the USA and in forward-deployed military environments. Technical mastery of ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous (USGPIV) catheter insertion can be easily achieved through a short training course. Mastery can be achieved even when trainees have a limited medical background before course attendance. An evidence-based practice project team sought to improve the knowledge, confidence, and skills in the placement of USGPIV catheters by clinicians at Naval Hospital Jacksonville. Completion of an USGPIV training program can equip healthcare providers with knowledge and confidence for placement of peripheral access necessary in critical situations such as those requiring medications or blood products. Materials and Methods The project team conducted a literature review to evaluate the appropriateness of USGPIV training for the nurses and military medical technicians in this setting. The team developed and delivered a USGPIV training program based on adaptations from the literature. During the training period, knowledge and confidence scores were reported by each trainee to evaluate the perceptions of the quality of training. The number of attempted catheter placements and ultrasound utilization was recorded in the pre- and post-implementation periods to evaluate the project’s effect on the delivery of patient care. Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate project outcomes. Results In the pre-intervention period, none of the 252 intravenous catheters were placed with the USGPIV technique, compared to 50 of 267 in the post-intervention period. These results demonstrate an 18.7% increase in the USGPIV access approach by nursing staff. Mean knowledge scores significantly increased following the delivery of the training, 60% versus 80% in the pre- and post-training assessments, respectively (P < .001). Mean self-reported skill confidence scores also significantly improved (P < .001). Conclusion Knowledge and self-reported confidence in USGPIV access improved for the trainees. Mean knowledge improved from 60% to 80%, while mean confidence scores increased from 2.74 to 3.79 for corpsman and from 3.0 to 3.88 for nurses. Utilization of the USGPIV technique increased by 18.7% in the post-intervention period. These results demonstrate that implementing this training program can improve knowledge, confidence, and use of ultrasound during the placement of PIV catheters.
