Among the great poets of the world Pushkin was the first to express with such power and passion the eternal opposition of the cultivated and the primitive man.D. S. MerezhkovksiiI would like to begin this investigation of Pushkinian thematics with a fable, or better perhaps, a parable of my own making.Once upon a time in the land of Rus’ there lived two brothers. And although they were sired by a noble father and reared as befits the sons of a nobleman, they differed from each other as the day differs from the night, for the elder brother was tall and fairhaired and born of a Russian princess, while the younger brother was swarthy, small, and the bastard son of a dark-skinned barbarian maiden.As the boys grew up, to these bodily differences were added spiritual ones. For the elder brother was a dutiful son, who honored his parents and heeded his teachers and obeyed the laws of the land. After coming of age he traveled to the capital city and learned the ways of the imperial court and found favor in the eyes of the tsar.

Michael Szwarc was born in Będzin, an industrial town in the south of Poland, as an only son of a Jewish family. Michael received his pre–college and college education in Warsaw and in 1932 received his degree in chemical engineering from the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute. After graduation he married in 1933 Maria Frenkel (Marysia), whose brother married his younger sister Rala. From 1933 to 1935 he worked in Poland as a chemical engineer. In 1935 he emigrated to Palestine (today's Israel) and after a year was joined there by his sister and brother–in–law. Two of his three children were born during his stay in Jerusalem, where he was engaged in research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and from which he gained a PhD in organic chemistry. In late 1945 he went to England, where he joined the group under Professor Michael Polanyi FRS in Manchester.

Full textAbstract:
Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypophosphatemia, rickets, hyperphosphaturia, elevated 1,25(OH)2D, and hypercalciuria. Mutations in SLC34A3, the gene encoding the sodium-dependent cotransporter NPT2c, have previously been described as a cause of HHRH. Here, we describe two male siblings with rickets and hypercalciuric nephrolithiasis born to unrelated parents, and their response to oral phosphate supplementation and growth hormone therapy. Whole exome sequencing of the oldest brother, and polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequence analysis of the identified SLC34A3 mutations, was performed for confirmation and to evaluate his siblings and parents. Serum and urine biochemical parameters of mineral homeostasis before and after therapy were evaluated. Whole exome sequencing analysis identified a previously reported heterozygous deletion SLC34A3.g.2259-2359del101bp on the maternal allele, and a novel heterozygous single nucleotide deletion SLC34A3.c.671delT on the paternal allele of the two affected brothers. The parents and the unaffected brother are heterozygous carriers. Recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH) plus oral phosphate in one affected brother improved the renal phosphate leak and resulted in accelerated linear growth superior to that seen with oral phosphate supplementation alone in the other affected brother. Our case study is the first to demonstrate that rHGH can be considered in addition to oral supplementation with phosphorus to improve linear growth in patients with this disorder, and suggests that renal phosphate reabsorption in response to rHGH is NPT2c-independent.

Full textAbstract:
Images of young British Muslim men engaging in terrorist activity or gang warfare proliferate in contemporary media. Such distortions frame Muslim males as a homogeneous and threatening presence within Britain; men who, despite living in the UK, are prone to a pathological form of masculinity supposedly inculcated by their religio-cultural background. In Terrorist Assemblages, Jasbir K. Puar develops the framework of “homonationalism” to examine the relationship between hostilities towards Muslims and growing acceptance of LGBT subjectivities in Euro-America. Puar argues that popular discourses stereotype diverse ethno-cultural groups under a distinct racialized, religiously-defined “Muslim” grouping. These Muslim “others”, recognized through racial and sartorial profiling, are assigned viewpoints that place them in opposition to the purportedly “enlightened” West. Puar shows how this dualism has been continually reproduced in cultural production, propagating the view that to be Muslim is to be axiomatically homophobic. This article assesses the extent to which homonationalism is replicated in the British film My Brother the Devil (dir. Sally El Hosaini, 2012). Set on a housing estate in Hackney, it depicts two London-born brothers of Egyptian heritage, Rash and Mo, as elder brother Rash leaves his “gangster” lifestyle after falling in love with photographer Sayid. My Brother the Devil invokes moral panics about young British Muslim men, as well as the increased visibility of homosexuality in recent UK media and cultural output, to probe connections between masculinity, sexuality, race, and class. However, this article posits that My Brother the Devil inadvertently upholds homonationalist binaries. By analysing the film, this paper contends that what Puar terms a “Muslim or gay binary” should be considered in a British context to address how certain “liberal” Muslim subjectivities are incorporated within imaginings of Britishness, at the exclusion of Muslim subjectivities that do not fit these prescriptions.

Full textAbstract:
Transaldolase deficiency (TALDO; OMIM 606003) is a rare inborn autosomal-recessive error of the pentose phosphate pathway. It is an early-onset multisystem disease with dysmorphic features, anaemia, coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia, tubulopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and end-stage liver disease. We present a case of two Polish brothers, born to consanguineous parents, with early-onset TALDO. The dominant feature of disease was an early severe liver injury, with subsequent renal tubulopathy. Nodular liver fibrosis developed in the course of the underlying disease. The older brother presented stable liver function, however, he was qualified for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) because of a liver tumour and suspicion of hepatocarcinoma. The boy was transplanted at the age of 14. The younger brother was qualified for DDLT due to end-stage liver disease and transplanted at the age of 11. Currently, both our patients are alive and in a good condition with normal graft function 23 and 20 months after DDLT respectively. Liver transplantation can be a therapeutic option in TALDO and should be considered in patients with coexisting severe chronic and end-stage liver disease. Long term follow-up is necessary to assess the impact of liver transplantation for quality of life, survival time and the course of the disease.

AbstractThis paper investigates the extent to which being born to a single mother affects a child’s survival rate in Senegal, a context where girls’ premarital sexual relationships are still widely stigmatized. It also examines whether any negative effect persists up to affecting the survival rate of children of higher birth order born after the mother has married. Using data from Demographic and Health Survey, we find that the mortality rate is higher for first-born boys, but not for first-born daughters, whose mother was single at the time of their birth, and lower for second-born children whose sister, but not brother, was born out of wedlock. The latter effect is actually driven by children from older cohorts of women. Therefore, strategies to mitigate the negative consequences of the stigma associated with a premarital birth seem to exist but vary with the gender of the child born premarital in Senegal. In addition, persisting negative effects appear to have decreased over time. Potential channels through which boys born from a single mother are at a higher risk of death in the country are discussed. Overall, our findings indicate that social programs targeting single mothers, especially when they gave birth to a boy, would help avoiding dramatic events as the death of a child.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryThis study of the relationship between mortality risks of siblings born to the same mother shows that, in Bangladesh, the death of the immediately preceding sibling in its infancy has a negative influence on the survival chance of the child in question in its infancy; however, death of the preceding sibling appears to have a positive influence on the index child's survival at ages 1–5 years. Similar results are found for the survival status of the two preceding siblings. Preceding birth interval length and survival status and sex of the immediately preceding sibling are also significant predictors of child mortality between ages 1 and 5 years. Possible explanations may be that the index child faces stronger competition from its immediately preceding brother than from its immediately preceding sister, or that the index child is likely to be looked after more by its preceding sister than by its preceding brother.

Full textAbstract:
In the decades after Khomeini’s death, the oases world’s middlemen class of Iran’s Baluch society has produced political figures able to wield nationwide influence. While maintaining pressure on Tehran from within, the Iranisation of Deobandi religious schools (and of the Kurdish-born Muslim-Brother militant networks) helped reinforce Iran’s national cohesion despite periods of sharp tension. This permitted Deobandi leaders and their Muslim-Brother allies to obtain, under Reformist presidents Muhammad Khatami (1997-2005) and Hasan Ruhani (since 2013), concessions in terms of local government and representation of the minorities. At the same time, the underdevelopment of Iran’s Sunni-peopled marches, the continuous degradation of their ecological situation, the confiscation of the revenues of cross-border smuggling by the Islamic Republic’s paramilitary bodies, the limited reforms implemented since 2013 by the Ruhani administration, the June 2017 ISIS/Daesh-claimed attacks in Tehran and the anti-Sunni repression that followed have fuelled new waves of ‘tribal feud’. This growing violence highlights the contrast between the ability shown by the Sarbaz nexus of Deobandi Sunni ulama to develop nationwide influence, on the first hand, and, on the other hand, the limits of these middlemen’s leadership on Baluch society.

Thomas Fuller, born in 1608 in Aldwincle, Northamptonshire, was the son of Thomas Fuller, the minister of St. Peter’s Church in Aldwincle. His mother Margaret’s brother was John Davenant, the president of Queens’ College, Cambridge, who became bishop of Salisbury shortly after Fuller entered Cambridge. The curriculum there emphasized Latin and Greek literature, partly as a result of the residence and teaching of Erasmus, the eminent Renaissance scholar, in the early sixteenth century. Fuller contended, in an essay published in 1642, that the “general Artist,” or university graduate in the arts, completed his academic endeavors with the study of history, enabling him to understand a broad range of human experience. Fuller studied theology under Samuel Ward, the master of Sidney Sussex College, a close friend of Bishop Davenant. His education prepared him well for his calling as a church historian.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractEmma Morano was born on 29 November 1899 in a small mountain village in Piemonte, and died on 15 April 2017 in Verbania on Lake Maggiore (100 km north of Milano). She was the daughter of Giovanni Morano, a miner; and Mathilde Bresciani, aged 24, a weaver. She was the first child in the family, and her arrival was followed by the births of seven siblings, four sisters and three brothers, all of whom she all survived. On 16 October 1926, Emma Morano married Giovanni Martinuzzi, but they separated a few years later after the death of their child. For more than 30 years, she worked in a jute factory. She then worked for about 20 years in the kitchen of a Marianist boarding school until she retired at the age of 75. After retirement, she lived in a small two-room apartment. In her final years, her hearing and sight were greatly reduced, but she could recognise faces and could communicate when spoken to loudly. She seemed to remember both past events and more recent ones. She had never been hospitalised, but had been treated for gastrointestinal bleeding and for urinary infections. She took no drugs regularly except laxatives. In the archives of four municipalities in the region, we obtained copies of the death certificates of her parents, the birth certificates of all of her siblings, her marriage certificate, and the birth and death certificates of her child. We found no inconsistences in the documents.

In 1815, Igołomia became a border village. The authorities of the Kingdom of Poland, and then the tsarist administration maintained a customs house in the village. Its role was to facilitate the trade of goods from the territory of the Kraków Republic and the Austrian partition to the Russian partition. In 1844–1846 Wojciech Chmielowski, father of Adam, the future Saint Brother Albert, was the head of the 1st-class customs house in Igołomia. Adam was born here on August 20, 1845. His short time in Igołomia did not affect his fate, but the historical place of his birth was commemorated. When the Albertine Sisters began their service in Igołomia in 1986, this memory was strengthened. In 1994–1995 a new religious house and the Museum of St. Brother Albert were founded. The museum was located in the historic customs building, although the building itself was not the home where the Saint was born. This building was subjected to demolition after the mid-19th century. In its place after 1857, a new customs house was built, which survived until recently, when it was demolished in 2010 and a new museum building was erected in its place. The museum refers to the place of birth of Saint Brother Albert, and part of the exhibition displays the tradition of the customs house.

How does a family lose its past? Portuguese Jew Abraham Rodrigues Brandon claimed his daughter Sarah had always been Jewish but shortly after her birth Sarah Brandon was baptized Anglican at Saint Michael’s Church in Bridgetown, Barbados. Like her brother Isaac, Sarah was born enslaved and would not be freed until the nineteenth century dawned, her manumission detailed in the record books of the same church. Sarah and her brother were enslaved by the Jewish Lopez family—and sometimes used their last name. Like most urban enslaved families, Sarah and Isaac’s family was matriarchal, with at least four generations living under the Lopez’s roof. Yet despite living amid the Jewish community, Sarah and Isaac technically were not part of it. This chapter traces how Sarah and Isaac Brandon’s British, Jewish, and African ancestors came to the Caribbean, and it investigates the challenges of colonial archives for understanding multiracial Jewish histories.

In 1884, her father had moved with his family from Bohemia to Vienna, where he cofounded a successful malt manufacturing business. Fine married Erich Kahler in November 1912. However, the marriage was not carnal and Erich insisted from the start that they lead independent lives. Kantorowicz met Fine in Berlin in the autumn of 1918 through his sister and brother-in-law. However, after May 1920, the couple saw each other rarely and ended their relationship in 1921.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter covers Mary Kingsley’s birth and how she was only just born into legitimacy – four days after the marriage of her parents – a fact she later did her best to obscure. The chapter suggests that Kingsley’s anxiety over the respectability of her origins was to do with the need to be morally irreproachable because of the radical nature of the ideas she espoused. The chapter presents Kingsley’s lonely childhood, her conflicted class position, her lack of formal education (in contrast to her brother), her voracious reading, her domestic duties and her eventual liberation from them when her parents died in 1892. It describes her travels in West Africa as a natural scientist and ethnographer, her sympathy for and friendship with the traders she met, and the freedom from the constraints of a woman’s life in Victorian England.

Jill Nerby was the first to welcome me to Aniridia Foundation International (AFI) when I joined. Shortly after beginning to volunteer for AFI’s members’ newsletter, I approached Jill about doing this book. Instantly she approved of my idea and told me if I needed anything to let her know. She has been instrumental in shaping the book’s content and eliciting the participation of all the doctors and professionals. Her support and wisdom have helped create this informative book for you, and they have meant a great deal to me. She is caring and friendly to all. Jill inspires us to strive towards goals for AFI and in our own lives. Here is her inspiring personal life story and the tale of how she began Aniridia Foundation International (formally the USA Aniridia Network). Jill Ann Nerby was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1961 to her parents, Dennis and Sullen Nerby. She was officially diagnosed with aniridia when she went for her three-week check-up. Jill’s parents were told that she was only the second person in the state of Wisconsin to be diagnosed with aniridia. Dr. George Worm realized something was wrong with her eyes and sent her to a well-known ophthalmologist in Chicago, Illinois, with experience in aniridia. This doctor tested Jill for glaucoma and found that she had been born with it. She was then put on eye drops, since the doctor felt Jill was too young to have surgery. Jill’s parents were devastated, since she was their first child and the family’s first grandchild. They did not even know if she could see and thought she might be blind already. They asked many people and sisters at the Catholic convent to pray for Jill. Today Jill has a younger sister, Marybeth, and a younger brother, Jeff; they do not have aniridia. Jill says growing up was challenging at times. Kids would sometimes tease her, leave her out, or pick her last.

Born to an American man and Vietnamese woman in 1970, Trista immigrated to the United States and was adopted by a young American couple, Nancy and Chuck Kalan, in 1973 after she and her younger brother, Jeffrey, spent a year in the care of a Vietnamese foster family. Although Nancy would eagerly accept and manage the details of Trista’s adoption, her husband, a veteran of the Vietnam War, had initiated their plans. Trista recalled her fear and shyness on meeting her new parents. “When I first saw my father, I cried,” she explained, “because he had a full beard and I wasn’t used to the facial hair.” Moreover, as a four-year-old, “I still had memories of my family,” she related. These memories would become less vivid over time as Trista learned English, became acquainted with American foods, and integrated into the mostly white community of Feasterville, Pennsylvania, but she retained cultural, political, and familial ties to Vietnam through regular contact with Jeffrey, who was adopted into the household of Trista’s aunt and raised as her cousin, as well as her foster family, who departed Vietnam among a wave of refugees and resettled in the Kalans’ household in 1975. Despite relationships and exposure that could have reinforced a Vietnamese identity, she admitted, “I probably actually repressed any of my culture and heritage growing up because I just wanted to fit in.”...

If you amble through the curving lanes of Burlington’s Aspen Grove Cemetery, designed by Aldo’s Grandfather Starker, you will come upon the Starker family vault nestled on a woody knoll. Pines and oaks guard simple stones inset in the grass marking the graves of Aldo and Estella. Aldo had returned to the land and family that had first instilled the land ethic within him. Then Clara Leopold died within a few months of her beloved eldest. Marie, Carl, and Frederic Leopold remained active in Burlington and in local conservation, with Fred becoming nationally renowned for his work with wood ducks. Thankfully for Estella, shortly after losing her husband, new grandbabies arrived on the scene, with new children for Luna and his wife Carolyn, Nina and her husband Bill, Carl and his wife Keena (Starker and Betty also had a child born that year). Though bowed by grief, Estella was made of the same strong stuff as her New Mexican ancestors, and after a few years, she slowly built back her life, now solo. Nina recalled, “Mother grew into her own person,” even traveling to Cuba and to Germany with her family. But Estella also continued to tend to the Shack land, as it tended to her. “Cultured, gentle, talented” as the Madison Free Press described “Stella”, she started to speak out publicly about local conservation issues while kindly serving as “an adopted grandmother” and mentor to graduate students and neighbors. In 1973, Northland College awarded Mrs. Estella Bergere Leopold an honorary doctorate of science. The degree was presented to her at the familiar haunts of the Wildlife Ecology Department. About two years later, in January 1975, on a visit to her family in Santa Fe, Estella grew ill and died at the age of eighty-five, a couple of days after her husband’s birthday. Her burial in Burlington next to Aldo, her sister Dolores, and twice brother-in-law, Carl, symbolized the integral intertwining of the Leopold and Luna-Otero-Bergere families.

In order to make sure that the phenomena are universal, we have analysed the RFLPs of F.VIII gene in 16 Japanese families with haemophilia A, including a female haemophiliac case, using an intragenic F.VIII DNA probe(F8A) and an extragenic(linked) DNA probe(Stl4-1).The probe F8A revealed two variant bands after digestion by Bel I. Of normal 60 X chromosomes (females) examined, about 85% bore the 879-bp fragment and 15%the 1165-bp fragment. Five of sixteen mothers of hemophiliacs, definite carriers, were found to be heterozygous for Bel I polymorphism. Since the relationship between Bel I alleles and hemophilia gene has been identified in the 5 families in which the mothers were heterozygous, we could diagnose the carrier status of two women whose brothers are hemophiliacs. Onthe other hand, we could identify that one "haemophilic woman" with less than 10% of F.VIII:C was a carrier status when we analysed the Bel I alleles in theother members of the family.The probe DNA(ST 14-1) revealed seven variant bands ranging from 5.5 kb to 3.4 kb after digestion by Taq I. In 6 out of 16 families, the RFLPs of ST 14 locus were informative for carrier detection.From these data, it was concluded that the Bel I polymorphism of F.VIII gene and the Taq I polymorphism of ST 14 locus were informative for carrier detection in 8 out of 16 families with haemophilia A
