Abstract:

AbstractFew studies on the legacies of the Chinese Civil War have examined its effects on state consolidation in the borderland area between China and mainland South-East Asia. This paper empirically examines the impact of the intrusion of the defeated Kuomingtang (KMT) into the borderland area between China, Burma and Thailand. In the People's Republic of China (PRC), the presence of the US-supported KMT across its Yunnan border increased the new communist government's threat perceptions. In response, Beijing used a carrot-and-stick approach towards consolidating its control by co-opting local elites while ruthlessly eliminating any opposition deemed to be in collusion with the KMT. In the case of Burma, the KMT presence posed a significant challenge to Burmese national territorial integrity and effectively led to the fragmentation of the Burmese Shan State. Finally, in Thailand, Bangkok collaborated with the Americans in support of the KMT to solidify its alliance relations. Later, Thailand used the KMT as a buffer force for its own border defence purposes against a perceived communist infiltration from the north. This paper contextualizes the spill-over effects of the Chinese Civil War in terms of the literature on how external threats can potentially facilitate state consolidation.

Abstract:

Abstract Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy (KMT), by the proposed Warburg effect, has been shown in animal studies to augment responses to chemotherapy in laboratory models of high grade gliomas. Anecdotal responses in human patients have also been reported. We advised patients in our clinic to adhere to a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet to obtain a state of nutritional ketosis while undergoing temazolamide (TMZ) chemotherapy for recurrent high-grade gliomas. A registered dietitian, specifically trained in KMT was utilized as a consultant for all of these patients. Blood ketone levels were checked frequently to assure ketone levels above 0.5 mmol/L. Nine patients have documented a near-continuous state of ketosis for at least 3 months while on TMZ therapy and have shown significant radiographic resolution of recurrent disease based on serial high resolution MRI surveillance imaging. All of these patients had shown progressive recurrent disease on serial MRI imaging prior to initiation of KMT. 4 of the 9 patients obtained a complete response, while the other 5 experienced a partial response. None of the patients failed to show any improvement in their imaging follow-up while on KMT. Three of the 9 patients also had salvage radiation therapy to some local area of recurrence prior to initiating KMT. There were no adverse effects related to the KMT diet. Most patients stated that they felt an overall improvement in quality of life while on the diet and embraced the diet as a means of feeling more in control of their disease. The diet was well tolerated and not felt to be a hardship or burdensome after an initial learning curve transition period was overcome. Based on these highly positive preliminary results, we suggest that KMT be included in larger prospective randomized trials for up-front and recurrent high-grade glioma trials to augment standard and experimental therapies.

Abstract:

After World War II, the colonial rule imposed by the Kuomintang (KMT) in Taiwan was symbiotically connected with its project of nation building. This project of “national colonialism” initially spurred the KMT to build an extensive public education system and to marginalize private schools. Financial concerns after 1954, however, forced the KMT to allow more private schools to open. As the role of private schools expanded, the state limited their resources and required that they follow state curricula, leading many private schools to come under the control of agents tied to the regime. Thus, schools that the colonizers initially sought to subdue ended up spreading ideologies that served the KMT. The case of Taiwan provides a perspective on colonialism and private schooling that suggests that private schooling under national colonialism differed from that under nonnational forms of colonial rule.

Abstract:

The KMT’s electoral defeat in 2016 was not a case of a dominant party crashing to defeat due to mismanaging its factions or ineptly allocating state resources. This article illustrates a third path by which dominant parties can lose power. The KMT lost because the underlying cleavage structure slowly shifted and eroded the KMT’s political foundations over a quarter century. Indeed, the KMT had ceased to be a dominant party long before 2016; that election was merely a particularly dramatic step in what was actually a long decline. Taiwan has a single dominant political cleavage defined by national identity. Since the early 1990s, exclusive Taiwanese identity has gradually increased and eventually replaced both Taiwanese and Chinese identity as the majority disposition. As the cleavage line gradually shifted, the KMT tried to develop other appeals, but these were only successful as long as they did not directly clash with the dominant national identity cleavage.

Abstract:

BackgroundGastrointestinal stasis is a common perianaesthetic complication in rabbits. The objective of this study was to assess the impact on gastrointestinal transit time of ketamine–midazolam (KMZ) versus ketamine–medetomidine (later antagonised by atipamezole) (KMT-A) in rabbits anaesthetised with isoflurane.MethodsThis was a cross-over, randomised, single-blinded, controlled, experimental trial. Seven healthy adult New Zealand White rabbits were used. Gastrointestinal transit time was assessed by contrast radiography in awake rabbits. Presence of contrast medium in the small intestine (gastric transit time), in the caecum (small intestinal transit time) and in faeces in the colon was assessed. One week later, 55 minutes isoflurane anaesthesia was induced with ketamine (15 mg/kg) and either midazolam (3 mg/kg) or medetomidine (0.25 mg/kg) by intramuscular injection. Thirty minutes after discontinuation of isoflurane, atipamezole (0.5 mg/kg) was administered only to rabbits in KMT-A treatment. Gastrointestinal transit time was then assessed in both treatment groups, beginning 30 minutes after cessation of isoflurane administration. Two weeks later, the treatment groups were interchanged.ResultsGastric and small intestinal transit times were significantly longer with KMT-A (92±109 minutes and 214±119 minutes, respectively) than with KMZ (1±0 minutes and 103±6 minutes, respectively) and in the awake state (7±7 minutes and 94±32 minutes, respectively).ConclusionClinicians should therefore be aware of the potential gastrointestinal side effects of KMT-A, particularly in rabbits at risk for gastrointestinal stasis.

Abstract:

In a recent survey of modern China, historian Rana Mitter noted: “The war between China and Japan may have been the single most important event to shape twentieth-century China”. This perspective hasn't been around for very long. The relevance of China's War of Resistance against Japan (KangRi zhanzheng) has been revaluated by historians in recent years, a prime example of this being Mitter's book on the subject and the work of Hans van de Ven. For years, the victory of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1949 was crystallised into a crucial turning point and the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party/KMT) was seen as corrupt and ineffective, as epitomised by Lloyd Eastman's studies. Eastman's verdict is not entirely contradicted by some of the new scholarship, although important revisionist works have led to a reassessment of the KMT state-building efforts, in particular during their pre-war decade in power, the so-called Nanjing decade (1927–1937). Although the ‘rediscovery’ of the war came later in the English-language than it did in Chinese, it is undeniable that recent years have seen a growing interest in the period, both in academia and in popular culture. The three monographs under review here are, in many ways, illustrative of the best new research on the conflict. They provide comprehensive insight on the impact of the war on the Nationalists' state-building efforts in fiscal policy, propaganda, and justice. All are first monographs, springing from meticulous doctoral and post-doctoral research anchored on a plethora of new primary sources. They make important contributions to our understanding of the impact of the war in China, as well as to economic history, media studies, and legal history more broadly.

Abstract:

The eight essays in this volume represent the research of a new generation of scholars examining historical change in 20th-century modern China, namely Kuomintang party-state development between 1925 and 1970. According to Ernest P. Young in the introduction, these essays describe the “cultural, ideational, and symbolic dimensions” of change in the KMT party-state activities and the response by elites and ordinary people.If we define, as does Nobel prize-winner Douglass C. North, “institutional change” as the beliefs, ideas, rules, laws, norms, and so on that influence the motivation, choices, and actions of individuals and organizations (private and public) in society, we then say the book under review is about institutional reform and its protagonists and opponents.Creating a new society requires at least some degree of institutional change. Those holding power resist change, clinging to old institutions. The ensuing struggle can be ferocious, with many possible outcomes. When the KMT began promoting institutional reform in 1925, it encountered great resistance, and after 1934 the resistance had not only stalled reforms, it had stirred up great social disharmony.

Abstract:

Abstract The central stock of northern anchovy (CSNA; Engraulis mordax), the most abundant small pelagic fish in the southern California Current, is key to ecosystem functions. We review drivers of its population dynamics in relation to management. Springtime upwelling intensity lagged by 2 years co-varied positively with CSNA biomass, as did the abundance of Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax; weakly negative). CSNA population dynamics indicate the need for a multi-species stock assessment, but given serious challenges with modelling population collapse and recovery dynamics, and its moderate fisheries, we suggest that sensible management could be a simple 2-tier harvest control rule designed to emphasize the key trophic role of CSNA in the ecosystem while maintaining moderate socio-economic services. We recommend a monitoring fishery of no more than 5 KMT year−1 split between central and southern California when the stock falls below the long-term median abundance estimate of 380 KMT across the California portion of its range, and a catch limit of 25 KMT year−1 when the stock is above this reference point. This rule would be precautionary, serving to maintain the most important small pelagic forage in the ecosystem, various fisheries interests, and information streams when the population is in a collapsed state.

Abstract:

This article examines the relationship between democratic and media reforms and political corruption in Taiwan. Has liberalization resulted in increased corruption or has it created a cleaner political system? I argue that the Taiwan case reveals the potential positive effects of multi-party democracy for tackling political corruption, as opposition parties have exploited a liberalized media to challenge and alter accepted but corrupt norms of governance. Pillars of the KMT party state such as its party assets, vote buying and the corrupt patron–client relationship with local factions were until the 1990s either openly or tacitly accepted as legitimate. The Taiwanese opposition parties took a latent political issue, corruption, and progressively broadened the scope of what is publicly acknowledged as corruption. By exposing cases of KMT government corruption and establishing new norms of clean governance it is possible that in the long term opposition parties can contribute to the creation of a cleaner political system.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper investigates the rhetoric of the state in South Africa and Taiwan for installing neoliberal regimes. The ANC promotes a theory explaining why “tightening the belt” in the spirit of fiscal austerity is necessary for the post-apartheid economy. In Taiwan, the KMT state advances an argument that mobile capital free of border constraints promises favorable growth. The cognitive roadmaps the two states have crafted to influence people’s conceptions of a “general interest” play a critical role in obtaining wider approval for the deepening of market institutions. By using a narrative method to anatomize the “economic stories” of these two middle-income states, our study contributes to seeing through the details of ideal structures and exposing their potential weaknesses in inducing a neoliberal order.

Abstract:

Over the last few decades, Taiwanese society has witnessed processes of localization/Taiwanization/ de- and re-Sinicization (Sinification), all vying for legitimacy. These trends in the nation-building process are played out on the state as well as the civil society level. It can thus be useful to examine whether societal (de-)localization trends are paralleled in any ideological repositioning of official and/or media discourses after a change in ruling party. The current article investigates an important discursive site in Taiwan's public space, the presidential discourse of the new Kuomintang (KMT) (Guomindang) era, starting from the inauguration address by President Ma Ying-jeou (Ma Yingjiu) on 20 May 2008.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article challenges the accepted view that during the period of martial law Taiwan's labour unions were “a useless token.” Focusing on the petroleum and sugar industries, I analyse the incremental process of how party-state control over the labour unions was converted by the workers themselves in Taiwan's national enterprises. In the early 1950s, the KMT's policy of unionizing enterprises was a complementary strategy to reinforce its slow and unsuccessful party-state penetration. With the unions' prominent role in welfare provision, workers were encouraged to develop a sense of stakeholdership. Over the years, labour unions legitimatized the interests of worker members and thus gave rise to an explosion of claim-making activities – what I call “petty bargaining.” By the mid-1980s, labour unions, although still dominated by the KMT, were no longer a Leninist transmission belt, but rather functioned as a de facto complaint centre – an often overlooked precondition for the rise of post-1987 independent labour unionism.

Abstract:

Taiwan has been ruled by a variety of political regimes and the different ruling elites have used Taiwan’s place names to shape their symbolic landscape. The end of World War Two witnessed the most tremendous change of place names in Taiwan when the Chinese Nationalist government or Kuomintang (KMT) established itself on the island. The traditional approach to toponymy mainly treats place names as the objective projection of culture on the physical landscape. However, recent research has turned to borrow concepts from critical theories to explore the expression of power inherent in geographical naming. This article will consider place naming as the illustration of state power on its symbolic landscape by examining all the street names in Taipei City, the capital of Taiwan.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article considers the relationship between popular music and the power of the state through an analysis of the history of Taiwan and the settings within which popular music was constructed and transformed by contentious political and social groups in the twentieth century. The historical formation of Taiwanese society falls into three distinct stages: Japanese colonization between 1895 and 1945; the Kuomintang's (KMT) military rule between 1947 and 1987; and the period from the end of martial law in 1987 to the resurgence of Taiwanese consciousness in the early 2000s. The evolution of Taiwan's popular music has always been connected with the state's production of new ideologies in line with changing socio-political and economic conditions, and this music still embodies a functional social content.

Full text

Abstract:

The effects of free drug and tubulin-drug complexes on steady-state GTP/GDP-associated microtubules and on equilibrium guanosine 5´-[β,γ-imido]triphosphate-associated microtubules are compared. The addition of colchicine or the tubulin-colchicine complex (TuCol) to steady-state microtubules induces microtubule disassembly. Only limited disassembly of equilibrium microtubules is observed under similar conditions. Addition of colchicine or the bifunctional colchicine analogue 2-methoxy-5-(2´,3´,4´-trimethoxyphenyl)tropone to preassembled steady-state or equilibrium microtubules does induce disassembly, but establishment of the new steady state or equilibrium is very slow. These observations are related to the fact that TuCol readily adds to the microtubule end, but is only incorporated into the lattice with difficulty. As a result, microtubule growth is effectively inhibited and the critical concentration is significantly increased. Nevertheless, drug-induced disassembly can be extremely slow, because the frequency of addition reactions increases as the concentration of soluble dimers increases. The efficiency of incorporation of TuCol decreases as its concentration increases. This work further confirms the existence of colchicine-binding sites with low affinity (association constant KMT ∼3×102 M-1) along the microtubule lattice. This value suggests that part of the colchicine-binding site on tubulin remains available in the polymer. The interaction of colchicine with these sites has no appreciable effect on microtubule dynamics. These observations are reproduced and rationalized by the model described elsewhere [Vandecandelaere, Martin, Bayley and Schilstra (1994) Biochemistry 33, 2792-2801], and the possibility that there are co-operative effects in the inhibition is considered.

Abstract:

Abstract From 1949, Quemoy became the battlefront between the warring Nationalists and Communists as well as the frontline between Cold War nations. Under military rule, social and ideological control suppressed the community power of traditional clans and severed their connection with fellow countrymen living abroad. For 43 long years up until 1992, Quemoy was transformed from an open hometown of the Chinese diaspora into a closed battlefield and forbidden zone. During the war period, most of the Quemoy diasporic Chinese paid close attention to the state of their hometown including the security of their family members and property. In the early 1950s, they tried to keep themselves informed of the situation in Quemoy through any available medium and build up a new channel of remittances. Furthermore, as formal visits of the overseas Chinese were an important symbol of legitimacy for the KMT, Quemoy emigrants had been invited by the military authority to visit their hometown since 1950. This was in fact the only channel for the Chinese diaspora to go home. Using official files, newspapers and records of oral histories, this article analyzes the relationship between the Chinese diaspora and the battlefield, Quemoy, and takes a look at the interactions between family and clan members of the Chinese diaspora during 1949-1960s. It is a discussion of a special intermittence and continuity of local history.

Full text

Abstract:

This article re-evaluates an important yet usually ignored episode in modern Chinese ethnopolitical history. It seeks to argue that, in the midst of the Second World War, Chiang Kai-shek manoeuvred towards a possible war with Tibet in order to serve other military, strategic and political purposes, namely, to insert his direct control into China's south-western border provinces that were still in the firm grip of obstinate warlords. Chiang Kai-shek's careful manipulation of the Sino-Tibetan border crisis in 1942–43 also reveals how he and his top military advisors perceived wartime China's territoriality and border defence in south-west China. With considerations of regime security and national survival foremost in their minds, top KMT leaders took a pragmatic stance towards the intractable issue of Chinese sovereignty over Tibet. In addition, at the diplomatic level, the Sino-Tibetan border crisis brought discord among the Allied Nations. The Chinese regarded Tibet as part of China whereas the British had long considered it within their sphere of influence. Eventually the Chinese won the sympathy of the US government. Facing Sino-British disagreement over Tibet's political status, the State Department continued to recognize Nationalist Chinese authority in Tibet, however fictitious that authority was. In retrospect, this episode, along with the US government's official stance towards China's sovereignty over Tibet, although a only a minor disagreement between the Allied Nations during the war, led to the problematic Tibetan issue that still haunts the international community today.

Abstract:

Four decades have passed since the 1949 Communist Revolution divided China into two political entities. These culturally similar polities adopted different ownership systems and divergent development strategies in their early decades, but they have witnessed nearly identical elite transformations and convergent social transitions in recent years.At their recent respective 13th party congresses, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) both promoted a great number of new leaders who can be identified as “technocrats” to top Party positions. In the Mainland, this new group of leaders has only recently come to power, while in Taiwan it emerged at the beginning of the 1970s and has continuously increased in number since then. This is a new generation of leadership, whose socialization, educational background, political experience and value orientation differ significantly from those of the old elite.Parallel to this leadership transformation, a profound social transition has also occurred in both Mainland China and Taiwan. The Chinese people in both places have made great economic achievements and have moved rapidly from isolationism towards mercantilism. This is particularly obvious in Taiwan, but it can be seen to a lesser degree in the Mainland. Less noted, but equally significant, has been the change in their political systems. In Mainland China, although the June Fourth Incident (1989) has impeded the momentum of political reform, the relationship between state and society has been significantly altered. It seems that political reform, which includes institutionalization, decentralization and liberalization, will continue its zigzag but progressive journey.

Abstract:

The theoretical analysis of dynamic phenomena in transmission tracked forest machine is much more difficult in the absence of experimental data on the effects of the input characteristic of the machine. The most characteristic species in the transmission effects that arise under real operating conditions allow to evaluate the results of experimental studies, they also provide an opportunity to assess the quality of theoretical studies. To determine the loading of the transmission in the experiment involves the measurement of a number of kinematic and power parameters characterizing the speed and stress state of the transmission. In the course of the research used a special measuring equipment made in Germany includes the high-speed digital telemetry system for strain "TEL1-PCM-HS" company KMT. This article describes how to determine the dynamic load transmission elements tracked forest machine LZ-5 in overcoming individual barriers in experimental studies (tests). The paper presents a program of pilot studies tracked forest machine. Presented curves change the time settings on the final drives and cardan shaft, depending on the speed of the engine and drive sprockets in overcoming obstacles GLZM with different gears. histograms were constructed on the distribution of the torque transmission shafts for various modes of overcoming obstacles in order to analyze the influence of operational factors on the magnitude of dynamic loads. The article presents the distribution curve of the moments on the driven shaft final drive to overcome obstacles tracked forest machine with a pack assortments in the volume of 12m3. It was noted that there are no less than 20 times the dynamic point values, which exceed the estimated time for the overcoming of obstacles. From the studies that the transmission level of at least dynamic forces having height obstacles.

Of great importance was the approval by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in 2016 of the hydrographic zoning of the territory of Ukraine with the allocation of 9 regions of river basins: the Dnieper, Dniester, Danube, Southern Bug, Don, Vistula, Crimean rivers Black Sea rivers, Azov rivers. Almost all rivers of Ukraine belong to the basin of the Black and Azov seas. In addition to the area of the river basin Vistula (Western Bug and San rivers) which belongs to the Baltic Sea basin and occupies only 2.5% of the country's territory. It is shown that since hydrographic studies in Ukraine were carried out more than 50 years ago, modern hydrographic surveys of the country’s territory with the creation of a modern water cadastre and the establishment of real morphometric parameters of water bodies (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds) are necessary. The main organizations dealing with these issues are the State Agency for Water Resources of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center of the State Service of Ukraine for Emergency Situations. It is also necessary to regulate a number of concepts that are used a priori, but do not have a definition, clear parameters (for example, a stream, a source, a digging pond, etc.). This is difficult to implement through the Water Code of Ukraine or state standards, but it can be easier to do through the officially approved methods in which these terms are used.

Abstract:

Abstract Activating mutations of c-KIT lead to ligand-independent growth. Internal tandem duplications (ITDs) of exon 11, which encodes the juxtamembrane domain (JMD), are constitutively activating mutations found in 7% of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) but have not been described in childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DNA and cDNA from 60 children with AML were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for mutations of the JMD. A complex ITD (kit cITD) involving exon 11 and exon 12 was identified with a relative frequency of 7% (4/60). The human kit cITDs were inserted into the murine c-Kit backbone and expressed in Ba/F3 cells. KIT cITD induced factorindependent growth and apoptosis resistance, and exhibited constitutive autophosphorylation. KIT cITD constitutively activated the PI3K/AKT pathway and phosphorylated STAT1, STAT3, STAT5, and SHP-2. Imatinib (IM) or rapamycin (Rap) led to complete inhibition of growth, with IC50 values at nanomolar levels. IM and Rap synergistically inhibited growth and surmounted KIT cITD-induced apoptosis resistance. IM but not LY294002 inhibited phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT5, suggesting aberrant cross talk between PI3K- and STAT-activating pathways. The findings presented may have immediate therapeutic impact for a subgroup of childhood AML-expressing c-KIT mutations.

Abstract:

Depending on the chemical nature of the side radicals, amino acids can be divided into aromatic and aliphatic, as well as amino acids, the presence of non-polar or polar functional groups in the side radicals. Since the characteristics of individual amino acids in the protein are determined by the nature (physico-chemical properties) of their side radicals, which are in a hydrated state. It is also extremely important to study the thermodynamic characteristics of the hydration of the side radicals of amino acids of different chemical nature. To obtain empirical correlations that would establish a connection between the thermodynamic parameters of the interaction of dissolved compounds with the solvent and the size of the molecules to be dissolved (having different physico-chemical nature), it is necessary to accumulate a sufficient amount of experimental data on the heats of dissolution of amino acids. This will allow you to calculate the contribution of intermolecular interactions for different groups of molecules. By potentiometric method the protolytic equilibria in aqueous solutions of paraoxyphenylglycine were investigated. The measurements were carried out at a temperature of 298.15 K and an ionic strength of 0.25 (against the background of potassium nitrate). Calorimetric measurements were carried out on an ampoule calorimeter, with an isothermal shell, a thermistor temperature sensor KMT-14, and an automatic record of the temperature-time curve. The operation of the unit was verified by the integral enthalpy of dissolution in water of crystalline potassium chloride. The agreement between the experimental enthalpies of dissolution of KCl (cr) with the most reliable literature data indicates that there are no systematic errors in the calorimetric system. Samples of para-oxyphenylglycine were weighed on a VLP-200 scale with an accuracy of 2∙10-4 g. The confidence interval of the mean value of ΔH was calculated with a probability of 0.95. A paraxyphenylglycine preparation, «Reachim», was used in the work. The reagent was used without further purification. The RRSU program was used to determine the equilibrium composition of the solutions. Standard enthalpies of combustion and formation of crystalline paraxyphenylglycine were calculated. Thermal effects of dissolution of crystalline paraxyphenylglycine in water and in solutions of potassium hydroxide at 298.15 K were determined with the direct calorimetric method. Standard enthalpies of formation of amino acids and products of their dissociation in aqueous solution were calculated.

Abstract:

Data on thickness and area of 16 glaciers on the Nordenskiöld Land (Svalbard) were obtained in 1999 and 2010–2013. These data were used to determine volume of the glaciers and to establish statistical local relationship between the volume V and the area A (V–A scaling) in the form of the power function V = cAγ, and then to calculate the total ice volume of all 202 glaciers in this area and its changes during the period since 1936 to 2002–2008. The total area of 16 glaciers was 129.9±0.35 km2, 14 of which had areas from 0.2 to 8.1 km2. The two largest ones, the Fridtjof and the West Grenfjord, had the areas 17.5 and 47.3 km2, respectively, and thus occupied about 50% (64.8 km2) of the total area of 16 glaciers. These two glaciers account for 67% of the total measured volume (10,034 km3) of the 16 glaciers. A nonlinear least-squares method was used to estimate ice reserves in all 202 glaciers from data on the volume and area of 16 glaciers. The relation between volume V and area A of the glaciers (V–A scaling) was obtained as the ratio V = 0.03637A1,283 with 95%‑th confidence intervals of the coefficients с and γ, (0.02303–0,4971) and (1.184–1.381), respectively. This made possible to calculate total volume of 202 glaciers as of 2002-2008 state using data from RGI v.6.0, and that prove to be equal to 32.89 (16.75–56.63) km3. To verify this estimation, we applied the bootstrapping method for chosen 43 glaciers and calculated the volume by means of sequential use of data for large and smaller glaciers. According to this estimate, the total volume of 202 glaciers amounted to 30.34 km3 with a 95% confidence interval of 15.42–44.27 km3, that turned out to be slightly smaller than the volume calculated by nonlinear least squares method basing on measurements on 16 glaciers. Despite the large error (on the average, from −49% to +84%) in estimating the total volume of 202 glaciers in the Nordenskiöld Land, the data obtained were used for assessment of relative changes in the total volume of glaciers in this area over different time intervals. During the period from 1936 to1990 (54 years), the total area of all glaciers reduced from 738.1 to 546.7 km2, and the total volume decreased from 49,205 to 34,857 km3. Similar results for the period 1990–2002–2008 (~15 years) are the total area changes from 546.7 to 507.9 km2 and their total volume - from 34.857 to 32.890 km3. The rate of decrease of the volume for the period 1936–1990 was equal to −0.266 km3/year, for the period 1990–2002–2008 – minus 0.131 km3/year, and as a whole for the studied period (since 1936 to 2002–2008) – minus 0.236 km3/year. The average mass balance in the first period was equal to −0.372 m w.e./year, in the second one −0.224 m w.e./year, and for the whole time −0.342 m w.e./year.

Abstract:

AbstractComputer reconstructions of the bathymetry of the lake were used to quantify variations in the size and form of Lake Agassiz during its final two phases (the Nipigon and Ojibway phases), between about 9200 and 7700 14C yr B.P. (ca. 10,300–8400 cal yr B.P.). New bathymetric models for four Nipigon Phase stages (corresponding to the McCauleyville, Hillsboro, Burnside, and The Pas strandlines) indicate that Lake Agassiz ranged between about 19,200 and 4600 km3 in volume and 254,000 and 151,000 km2 in areal extent at those times. A bathymetric model of the last (Ponton) stage of the lake, corresponding to the period in which Lake Agassiz was combined with glacial Lake Ojbway to the east, shows that Lake Agassiz–Ojibway was about 163,000 km3 in volume and 841,000 km2 in areal extent prior to the final release of lake waters into the Tyrrell Sea. During the Nipigon Phase, a number of catastrophic releases of water from Lake Agassiz occurred as more northerly (lower) outlets were made available by the retreating southern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet; we estimate that each of the four newly investigated Nipigon Phase releases involved water volumes of between 1600 and 2300 km3. The final release of Lake Agassiz waters into the Tyrrell Sea at about 7700 14C yr B.P. is estimated to have been about 163,000 km3 in volume.

Abstract:

A year after the establishment of the Olsztyn voivodeship (1946), there were created on its territory the first state horse pedigree breeding centres. Thus, there was launched the process of breeding, which in its initial stage had no specific direction. Only when the State Department of Horse Breeding took a decision to rebuild the East Prussian breed and were further actions ordered. Since 1948, having survived the turmoil of war, Trakehner horses with documented pedigrees were located at the State Stud at Liski. Its further dynamic development was initiated. For many years, it was continued byJacekPacyński, considered to be an expert on horses and a keen supporter of equestrian sport. He, as one of the pioneers, co-organized first, unofficial, intercollegiate equestrian competitions in the region. Over the years, they were transformed into professional competition. Good sports results promoted native breeding and facilitated the sale of horses. J. Pacyński, as the head of the leading Polish stud, also paid much attention to the improvement of social conditions of the team. Thanks to his efforts, in the small village of Liski, there functioned a factory day room with up-to-date press and radio, and in later years also television. It was not only the sportsmen themselves who took advantage of the mounts and the charms of the breeding centre, but also recreational riding enthusiasts.

Abstract:

Activating mutations of c-kit at codon 816 (Asp816) have been implicated in a variety of malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The mutant c-Kit receptor confers cytokine-independent survival of leukemia cells and induces tumorigenicity. Changes in the signal transduction pathways responsible for Asp816 mutant c-Kit–mediated biologic effects are largely undefined. The results of this study show that Asp816 mutant c-Kit induces constitutive activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and STAT1, and up-regulates STAT3 downstream targets, Bcl-xL and c-myc. The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI-3K)/Akt pathway, but not the Ras-mediated mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway, is also constitutively activated by Asp816 mutant c-Kit. Suppression of STAT3 activation by a dominant negative molecule in MO7e leukemia cells transduced with mutant c-kit inhibits stem cell factor (SCF)-independent survival and proliferation, accompanied by the down-regulation of Bcl-xL and c-myc. However, activated STAT3 does not appear to be the sole mediator that is responsible for the phenotypic changes induced by Asp816 mutant c-Kit, because expression of constitutively activated STAT3 in MO7e cells does not completely reconstitute cytokine independence. Activation of other signaling components by mutant c-Kit, such as those in the PI-3K/Akt pathway, is demonstrated and may also be needed for the mutant c-Kit–mediated biologic effects. The investigation of altered signal transduction pathways and the resulting functional consequences mediated by Asp816 mutant c-Kit should provide important information for the characterization of subsets of leukemia and potential molecular pathways for therapeutic targeting.

Abstract:

The study applied GIS techniques to integrate Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Landuse/Landcover (LULC) and flood frequency analyses to determine extent of flood hazard inundation of Makurdi town along its River Benue reach following extreme discharges and stage levels. Annual maximum stage and discharge data from 1914 to 2015 was analyzed using Gumbel’s distribution to predict flood flow for different return periods (T): 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100. A goodness of fit test was conducted using Chi square statistics, which was insignificant indicating that River Benue at Makurdi flood flow fits the Gumbel distribution. Combining this result with DEM and classified LULC data, the GIS spatial analyst tool was used to estimate the areal extent of landuse that will be inundated per return period. The result shows extent of flood inundation based on current landuse pattern for the respective return periods of predicted extreme stage / discharge likely due to climate change to be as follows: bareland (1.69, 1.74, 1.78, 1.84, 1.83, 1.89 km2); settlement/built-up (5.38, 5.50, 5.63, 5.76, 5.76, 6.02 km2); farmlands (272.27, 283.59, 295.10, 306.43, 306.43,and 317.49 km2); Vegetation (91.56, 95.26, 98.78, 102.45, 102.48, and 105.95 km2); water bodies (0.21,0.21, 0.22,0.22,0.22, and 0.22 km2) and Wetlands (44.14, 45.80, 47.48, 30.36,49.42 and 50.78 km2). This reveals a general increase in the extent of flood inundation at progressive recurrence interval, and predicted rising extreme river stage heights / discharge except for the flood with 50 year recurrence interval.

Abstract:

By an ordinance of 25 August 1950, the Minister of Culture and Arts created the State Studios for Conservation of Cultural Property (PP PKZ) based in Warsaw. The company carried out conservation works of monuments, prepared technical documentation of historic buildings and conducted architectural and conservation supervision during various works. One of the first branches of the Enterprise was the Branch of PP PKZ in Gdańsk, established in March 1951. Its territorial coverage extended across the area of northern Poland from Szczecin to Olsztyn. It was subordinated to the branches of “Works Group Management” in Szczecin and Koszalin (1958), Toruń and Elbląg (1959), Malbork (1960), and Słupsk (1977). From 1961, there was a branch in Olsztyn: PP PKZ Branch in Gdańsk, Olsztyn Department. This operated in the then Olsztyn Province and partly in the neighbouring provinces (Suwałki, Elbląg and Ciechanów). In 1980, the General Director of PP PKZ in Warsaw created PP PKZ Branch in Olsztyn, which began work from 1 January 1981. Its main task was to prepare technical and historical documentation needed for the conservation of monuments, exercise architectural and conservation management during the implementation of works, the conservation of monuments, perform security works, ongoing repairs, the repair, reconstruction and adaptation of monuments, and to perform specialised situational - height and inventory measurements. The Olsztyn branch ended its operations in 1990. Its functions were taken over by a company established after privatisation under the name the Polish Labs for the Preservation of Monuments Sp. z o.o. in Olsztyn.

Abstract:

The climate of Europe is strongly influenced by heat transport by ocean currents flowing from equatorial regions towards the Arctic (Clark et al. 2002). During recent years, research has been increasingly focused on factors affecting this circulation, e.g. the freshwater budget of the Arctic which is influenced by glacial meltwater from North and East Greenland outlet glaciers (Linthout et al. 2000, Mayer et al. 2000). Furthermore, the climate is affected by snow cover that, apart from its contribution to the freshwater budget, provides feedback effects in that it reflects most of the solar radiation. Apart from Arctic sea-ice cover, the Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest permanent ice- and snow-covered area in the northern hemisphere, with an area of 1.67 ×106 km2 and by far the largest storage of ice with a volume of 2.93 × 106 km3 (Bamber et al. 2001). Most of the mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet (the least known mass-balance parameter) occurs in the marginal region of the ice sheet, which is also the area where the largest changes in albedo occur. The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has for many years carried out research along the Greenland Ice Sheet margin to monitor changes of mass balance and melt conditions.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to describe the difference between two intra-state concepts of cooperation with regard to security and its application in NATO. In the first part of the article the author elaborates the distinction between a military alliance and a military coalition. While an alliance is inherently defensive in nature, a coalition concept is much more suitable for ad hoc deployment outside its own territorial space. With regard to this, in the second part the author analyzes the transformation of the NATO Alliance and the impact that Crisis Response Operations have had on the perception and inner power structure of NATO. The Crisis Management System and the Framework Nation Concept are used as primary examples of NATO acting as a coalition rather than an alliance.

Abstract:

Abstract. Land use land cover change (LULC) is a dynamic process, which is largely influenced by anthropogenic effect. In less urbanized area, human activities such as agricultural expansion, timber extraction and infrastructure development, has caused LULC transformation at alarming rate. Understanding of the potential future LULC changes is necessary for town planners and local authorities to formulate and design town planning. Besides that, the projected LULC patterns could also be incorporated into other models to further evaluate the impact of LULC changes on environment, agricultural, ecosystem, water resources and health. This study projected a future LULC scenario of Kelantan, Malaysia, using an integrated GIS CA-Markov model. The model achieved an accuracy of 78.57% when compared with the LULC map of 2008. Built-up area has increased by 111 km2, while forest area has decreased 1532 km2 in the past 15 years. Results showed that the built-up area, oil palm, and rubber plantation are expected to increase to 181.69 km2, 2142.48 km2, and 3076.24 km2, respectively, in 2025. By contrast, forest and paddy area are projected to decrease to 8548.20 km2, and 693.44 km2 respectively. Urban expansion is mainly found in the northern part of the state, while oil palm expansion in the southern part of the state. It was predicted that this pattern will continue in the next thirty years where built-up and agriculture area continued to expand at the stake of forest area. The findings provide useful information for planners in planning for future development and safeguarding the environment.

Abstract:

Glaciers in the Qilian Mountains are important sources of fresh-water for sustainable development in the Hexi Corridor in the arid northwest China. Over the last few decades, glaciers have generally shrunk across the globe due to climate warming. In order to understand the current state of glaciers in the Qilian Mountains, we compiled a new inventory of glaciers in the region using Landsat Operational Land Imager (OLI) images acquired in 2015, and identified 2748 glaciers that covered an area of 1539.30 ± 49.50 km2 with an ice volume of 81.69 ± 7.40 km3, among which the Shule River basin occupied the largest portion of glaciers (24.8% in number, 32.3% in area, and 35.6% in ice volume). In comparison to previous inventories, glacier area was found to shrink by 396.89 km2 (20.5%) in total, and 446 glaciers with an area of 44.79 km2 disappeared over the period from the 1960s to 2015. This situation was primarily caused by the increase in air temperature, and also related with the size of glacier and some local topographic parameters. In addition, the change of glaciers in the Qilian Mountains showed a distinct spatial pattern, i.e., their shrinking rate was large in the east and small in the west.

Abstract:

Abstract The adult erythron is maintained via dynamic modulation of erythroblast survival potentials. Toward identifying novel regulators of this process, murine splenic erythroblasts at 3 developmental stages were prepared, purified and profiled. Stage-to-stage modulated genes were then functionally categorized, with a focus on apoptotic factors. In parallel with BCL-X and NIX, death-associated protein kinase-2 (DAPK2) was substantially up-modulated during late erythropoiesis. Among hematopoietic lineages, DAPK2 was expressed predominantly in erythroid cells. In a Gata1-IE3.9int-DAPK2 transgenic mouse model, effects on steady-state reticulocyte and red blood cell (RBC) levels were limited. During hemolytic anemia, however, erythropoiesis was markedly deficient. Ex vivo ana-lyses revealed heightened apoptosis due to DAPK2 at a Kit−CD71highTer119− stage, together with a subsequent multifold defect in late-stage Kit−CD71highTer119+ cell formation. In UT7epo cells, siRNA knock-down of DAPK2 enhanced survival due to cytokine withdrawal, and DAPK2's phosphorylation and kinase activity also were erythropoietin (EPO)-modulated. DAPK2 therefore comprises a new candidate attenuator of stress erythropoiesis.

Abstract:

This study presents the results of laboratory trials of the reagent kit for the rapid detection of RNA of the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) using loop-mediated isothermal amplification with reverse transcription (RT-LAMP). The developed RT-LAMP reagent kit was used to detect the CCHFV and showed a sensitivity of 103 GE/ml of viral RNA, which is sufficient for detection of the CCHFV in the early stage of human infections. The kit showed high specificity and no cross-reactivity with viral panel from the State collection of viruses of the FBRI SRC VB «Vector» (arboviruses and hemorrhagic fever viruses). Laboratory trials of the RT-LAMP kit are showed a high analytical and diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for RNA detection of the CCHFV and high speed of the analysis (60-70 min with sample preparation) compared to real-time PCR. Approbation of the kit field version has showed the possibility of setting the RT-LAMP reaction and viral RNA detection without the using of analytical equipments.

Abstract:

The Prussian land and building cadastre was introduced on May 21, 1861, under three laws that uni�fied the tax system throughout the Prussian state. According to the regulations, the cadastre was to be based on measurements and calculations. Because broad field surveys were not taken into account, cadastral maps drawn up at that time were most often copies of already existing land maps. In the 1930s, the Prussian state reorganized its surveying services, aimed at introducing a uniform system of land classification in the entire German state, and consequently a single cadastral system. As a result, a unified state cadre - the Reichkataster – was to be formed throughout Germany. Unfortunately, the work did not produce the desired effect and the Reichkataster was intro�duced only in 1941. Further work on the national cadastre was interrupted by the Second World War. The State Archive in Olsztyn holds the cadastral documentation from the area of the former Olsztyn district, the part of the Królewiec district (primarily the area which after the Second World War was within the borders of the Polish state) and the remains of the cadastral office in Węgorzewo. The full documentation from the area of the Królewiec district is presented, consisting of cadastral office files and 9 cadastral offices in Bartoszyce, Braniewo, Gierdawy, Kętrzyn, Lidzbark Warmiński, Morąg, Pasłęk, Pruska Iława and Święta Siekierka. There are 11222 cadastral maps in the file. This documentation is an important part of the pre-war resource of Olsztyn.

Abstract:

The transformation of the vegetation cover in the impact zone of the 1956 eruption, in territories covered by various deposits, is considered. As a result of a gigantic eruption (VEI 5), vegetation was exposed to a series of different volcanic impacts. Five main categories of events are distinguished: the movement of material of a huge volume of volcano edifice over a large distance as a result of a giant clastic avalanch, the pyroclastic surge of a direct blast, the pyroclastic flows, the formation of a giant eruptive cloud and ashfalls, as well as the lahars. The volume of erupted (initially high-temperature) deposits was, according to various estimates, in the amount of 1.35-1.5 km3, the volume of cold deposits of a clastic avalanche was 0.5-0.8 km3. The volume of lahar was 0.5 km3. The area covered by the pyroclastic wave of the directed explosion was about 500 km2. Within this lesion zone, deposits of pyroclastic flows have occupied 30-40 km2, and clastic avalanche deposits from 35 to 60 km2. Below 900 m above sea level (a.s.l.) these deposits buried cover of subalpine dwarf alder (dominant species is Alnus fruticosa) and mountain meadow vegetation, as well as forest vegetation (dominant species is Betula ermanii) at its upper limit. Forest and partially dwarf alder vegetation was destroyed on a vast territory mainly under the influence of a pyroclastic wave (in the altitude range from 700-800 to 200 m a.s.l.), as well as lahars (in the range of 250-50 m a.s.l.). Primary successions occur in the alpine and partially subalpine zone on avalanche deposits and pyroclastic flows deposits, as well as in the upper part of the zone impacted by pyroclastic surge of the direct blast (40-45 km2). In part of the territories where thick deposits of the lahars were formed, primary successions also probably occurred. In the zone of primary successions, deposits of a clastic avalanche are settled by plants most slowly due to not-favourable edaphic factors. The process is somewhat more efficient on the deposits of pyroclastic flows (the same ratio was noted on the Shiveluch Volcano). The surface overlapped by deposits of the pyroclastic surge is populated relatively quickly. Secondary succession occurs in the zone of damage to the forest and dwarf trees by the influence of a pyroclastic wave, as well as in the zone of passage of the lahars. Restoring of vegetation to its previous state will take from 50 to ~500 years on different deposits and in different parts of an impact zone.
