Stoma care: sharing the results of a patient satisfaction audit
Authors: Walker Kim , Watkins Rebecca , Newman Sue , Pullen Judy , Osborne Debbie , Milton Samantha , Davies Tara
Published: March 2018

Regular service audits since 2008 gave a stoma care department confidence in the service it provides. In 2016 the department undertook a new audit to benchmark its services, using the Association of Stoma Care Nurses (ASCN) UK Revised Stoma Care Nursing Standards and Audit Tool (2015) . Of the 60 questionnaires given out, 43 were returned (71%). The results highlighted areas of good practice with positive patient feedback. However, it also identified that the team needed to improve documentation when offering patients the opportunity to meet a visitor preoperatively and when discussing lifestyle issues. The results demonstrated poor preoperative compliance; this was lower than expected and did not concur with department statistics. The audit highlights the importance of clarity when developing a questionnaire to ensure all respondents not only interpret its meaning in the same way, but also only answer the questions specific to them.

The effect of anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic agents on fibroblasts obtained from arthrofibrotic tissue
Authors: Tang X. , Teng S. , Petri M. , Krettek C. , Liu C. , Jagodzinski M.
Published: March 2018

Objectives

The aims of this study were to determine whether the administration of anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic agents affect the proliferation, viability, and expression of markers involved in the fibrotic development of the fibroblasts obtained from arthrofibrotic tissue in vitro, and to evaluate the effect of the agents on arthrofibrosis prevention in vivo.

Methods

Dexamethasone, diclofenac, and decorin, in different concentrations, were employed to treat fibroblasts from arthrofibrotic tissue (AFib). Cell proliferation was measured by DNA quantitation, and viability was analyzed by Live/Dead staining. The levels of procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) and procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide (PIIINP) were evaluated with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. In addition, the expressions of fibrotic markers were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Fibroblasts isolated from healthy tissue (Fib) served as control. Further, a rabbit model of joint contracture was used to evaluate the antifibrotic effect of the three different agents.

Results

Dexamethasone maintained the viability and promoted the proliferation of AFib. Diclofenac decreased the viability and inhibited the cell proliferation during the first week of cultivation. However, decorin inhibited AFib proliferation and downregulated the expressions of fibrotic markers. Additionally, decorin could improve the flexion contracture angle and inhibit the deposition of interstitial matrix components in the rabbit joint model.

Conclusion

Decorin decreased the expression of myofibroblast markers in AFib, inhibited the proliferation of AFib, and prevented the initial procedure of arthrofibrosis in vivo, suggesting that decorin could be a promising treatment to inhibit the development of arthrofibrosis.

Do what yourself?: Querying the status of ‘it’ in contemporary punk
Authors: Dale Pete
Published: March 2018

In order to ‘do-it-yourself’ (DIY), one needs to have some idea as to what ‘it’ is, presumably. From the late 1970s punk scene onwards, many took ‘it’ to be releasing a record: some were content to simply perform a gig or several gigs, but actually releasing a vinyl record, or even a flexi or a tape, brought a certain credibility and seriousness to the profile of a band. However, some within the punk scene would appear to have realized early on that releasing records is not necessarily the best way to ensure that ‘anyone can do it’. Latterly, record sales have slumped and yet much of the DIY punk scene, even in its more radical and leftist margins, has critically failed to really explore the necessity and validity of releasing physical copies of musical performance. Should ‘we’ still be making records in the twenty-first century? Perhaps so, the article goes on to argue in the light of Walter Benjamin’s discussion of the on-going value of physical collections. ‘The’ revolution is not yet here and, under a capitalist system, we still may want to make records for some time to come, but a critical stance on pressing records in particular and DIY in general will do the punk scene no harm. Perhaps, indeed, making records is not the best ‘it’ that one can do and other forms of doing it yourself (putting on gigs, designing visual imagery, unrecorded musical performance and so forth) deserve to be valued more highly within the DIY punk scene(s).
Punk’s popularity anxieties and DIY institutions as ideological (anti-)state apparatuses
Authors: Pearson David
Published: March 2018

In the 1990s United States, an increasing number of punk and punk-inspired bands made their way into the mainstream. This commercial success and popularity provoked profound anxiety within the underground punk scene, which had spent the 1980s building a DIY (do-it-yourself) network of zines, venues and independent record labels and prided itself on its autonomous cultural production. In the pages of punk zines, the overwhelming response to punk’s newfound visibility was to insist that punk remain underground, protect the scene from outsiders and cast out punk bands that signed contracts with major record record labels or even became too popular on independent labels as traitors. So-Cal punk, a style that fused 1980s hardcore with melodic vocals, occasional lead guitar parts, technical precision and more professionalized production, went from being praised for its innovations in the pages of punk zines to being castigated as a generic attempt at commercial success. The debate over DIY versus ‘selling out’ was guided by a fear that the mainstream viability of a few would dilute punk’s ethos of rebellion and compromise its integrity. While much ado has been made of DIY in recent scholarship, the robust discourse within the underground punk scene defending DIY as ideological principle and decrying ‘selling out’ has not yet been adequately chronicled or critically interrogated. This article draws on four prominent punk zines in the 1990s United States – HeartattaCk, MaximumRockNRoll, Profane Existence and Punk Planet – to elucidate the construction of DIY discourse in response to the newfound 1990s popularity of punk. Rather than romanticizing the DIY underground, this article critically evaluates the assumptions underpinning it, such as extolling the autonomous individual and small-scale production, or the notion that distance from the dominant cultural apparatuses automatically portends a praxis of rebellion.
Meaning and making: Merchandise practices in the Newcastle DIY scene
Authors: Burns Ruairi , Threadgold Steven
Published: March 2018

This article explores the relationships between young punk and indie musicians and the merchandise that they produce. Three interlinking analytic distinctions are made in this article of the young musicians’ motivations to make merchandise: building symbolic capital; building economic capital; and serious play. We propose that DIY merchandising entails the construction of an ethical and authentic self through the social gravity of a deeply invested illusio. The research takes place in the DIY music scene of Newcastle, a large regional town on the east coast of Australia. The participants play in punk and indie bands; however, there is a diversity of merchandising practices within the group, highlighting the fluid and complex boundaries of contemporary punk practices. The forms of experimentation, negotiation and strategy encountered illustrate how these meaningful forms of labour are important to struggles about identity and authenticity. Developing and honing merchandise-related skills as a form of ‘serious play’ has facilitated pathways towards self-employment for several of the participants. For this reason, this article draws attention to the diverse applications for expertise in merchandising, manifesting not only in the music scene but in various fields of social life. These circumstances illustrate interesting sociological developments in youth music scenes regarding music-related practices, employment transitions, labour and the transferring of capitals. The social relationships involved in merchandising are analytically explored using a Bourdieusian framework that considers punk as a social practice.

The joint owners’ grant exploitation rights to the third person on joint ownership goods
Paydaşların paylı mülkiyet konusu eşyadan üçüncü kişileri yararlandırma yetkileri
Authors: Özcan Zeynep
Published: March 2018

Joint ownership, which is the most prevalent type of co-ownership, is regulated between Article 688 and Article 700 of Turkish Civil Code (hereinafter referred to as “TCC”). Joint ownership is the type of co-ownership, in which more than one person, whom have the same legal status, enjoy the property rights pro rate to their shares. Joint ownership, which is widely seen in theory and practice, has important legal aspects in terms of joint owners’ rights and authorities. Each joint owner of joint ownership has the same rights and authorities as any sole property owner had. The concept of share and joint owners’ power of disposition are significant issues within the Joint ownership. Joint owners have certain rights with respect to usufruct, management and protection of that property. Exploitation rights of such property are determined pro rata to shares hold by the joint owners . Specifically, there are certain limitations for joint owners in terms of the exploitation rights of that property. The right to grant exploitation in favor of third parties by joint owners limits the exploitation rights of other joint owners. Joint owners may grant easements to any third party on the property that subjected to Joint ownership. All joint owners should cast an affirmative vote so as to grant such easement. Besides this, each joint owner may establish any easement rights in favor of any third party upon its shares.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. Özet             Birlikte mülkiyetin en yaygın türü olan paylı mülkiyet, TMK. m. 688 ve 700 arasında düzenlenmektedir. Paylı mülkiyet, aynı hukukî statüdeki birden fazla kişinin belirli bir eşyaya aynı anda payları oranında malik oldukları toplu mülkiyetin bir türüdür. Teori ve uygulamada sıklıkla karşılaşılan paylı mülkiyet birliği, sahiplerine tanıdığı hak ve yetkiler bakımından da önemlidir. Paylı mülkiyet birliğini oluşturan paydaşlardan her biri malikin sahip olduğu hak ve yükümlülüklere sahiptir. Paylı mülkiyette pay kavramı ve paydaşların pay üzerinde tasarruf yetkileri önemlidir. Paydaşların paylı mülkiyet konusu eşya üzerinde kullanma, yararlanma, yönetim yetkileri ve paylı mülkiyete konu eşyayı korumaya ilişkin yetkileri vardır. Bu yetkilerden, paydaşların yararlanma yetkileri pay oranlarına göre belirlenir. Özellikle de paydaşların paylı mülkiyet konusu eşyayı kullanma yetkilerine ilişkin kanuni ve iradi sınırlamalar bulunmaktadır. Paydaşların 3. kişileri paylı mülkiyet konusu eşyadan yararlandırma yetkisi onların eşyayı kullanma yetkisini sınırlandırmaktadır. Paydaşlar eşya üzerinde 3. kişi lehine irtifak hakkı kurabilirler. Bu durum paydaşların oybirliği ile karar almalarını gerektirir. Ayrıca her paydaş kendi payı üzerinde irtifak hakkı kurarak da 3. kişiye eşyadan yararlanma hakkı tanır.
Methodological Considerations on the Relationship Between the 1,500-m Rowing Ergometer Performance and Vertical Jump in National-Level Adolescent Rowers

Maciejewski, H, Rahmani, A, Chorin, F, Lardy, J, Samozino, P, and Ratel, S. Methodological considerations on the relationship between the 1,500-m rowing ergometer performance and vertical jump in national-level adolescent rowers. J Strength Cond Res 33(11): 3000–3007, 2019—The purpose of this study was to investigate whether 3 different approaches for evaluating squat jump performance were correlated with rowing ergometer performance in elite adolescent rowers. Fourteen young male competitive rowers (15.3 ± 0.6 years), who took part in the French rowing national championships, performed a 1,500-m all-out rowing ergometer performance (P1500) and a squat jump (SJ) test. The performance in SJ was determined by calculating the jump height (HSJ in cm), a jump index (ISJ = HSJ·body mass·gravity, in J), and the mean power output (PSJ in W) from the Samozino et al.'s method. Furthermore, allometric modeling procedures were used to consider the importance of body mass (BM) in the relationships between P1500 and jump scores. P1500 was significantly correlated with HSJ (r
2 = 0.29, p ≤ 0.05), ISJ (r
2 = 0.72, p < 0.0001), and PSJ (r
2 = 0.86, p < 0.0001). Furthermore, BM explained at least 96% of the relationships between SJ and rowing performances. However, the similarity between both allometric exponents for PSJ and P1500 (1.15 and 1.04, respectively) indicates that BM could influence jump and rowing ergometer performances at the same rate, and that PSJ could be the best correlate of P1500. Therefore, the calculation of power seems to be more relevant than HSJ and ISJ to (a) evaluate jump performance and (b) infer the capacity of adolescent rowers to perform 1,500-m all-out rowing ergometer performance, irrespective of their body mass. This could help coaches to improve their training program and potentially identify talented young rowers.

Tomasevicz, CL, Ransone, JW, and Bach, CW. Predicting bobsled pushing ability from various combine testing events. J Strength Cond Res 34(9): 2618–2626, 2020—The requisite combination of speed, power, and strength necessary for a bobsled push athlete coupled with the difficulty in directly measuring pushing ability makes selecting effective push crews challenging. Current practices by USA Bobsled and Skeleton use field combine testing to assess and identify specifically selected performance variables in an attempt to best predict push performance abilities. Combine data consisting of 11 physical performance variables were collected from 75 subjects across 2 winter Olympic qualification years (2009 and 2013). These variables were sprints of 15, 30, and 60 m, a flying 30-m sprint, a standing broad jump, a shot toss, squat, power clean, body mass, and dry-land brake and side bobsled pushes. Discriminant analysis (DA) in addition to principle component analysis (PCA) was used to investigate 2 cases (case 1: Olympians vs. non-Olympians; case 2: National Team vs. non-National Team). Using these 11 variables, DA led to a classification rule that proved capable of identifying Olympians from non-Olympians and National Team members from non-National Team members with 9.33 and 14.67% misclassification rates, respectively. The PCA was used to find similar test variables within the combine that provided redundant or useless data. After eliminating the unnecessary variables, DA on the new combinations showed that 8 (case 1) and 20 (case 2) other combinations with fewer performance variables yielded misclassification rates as low as 6.67 and 13.33%, respectively. Using fewer performance variables can allow governing bodies in many other sports to create more appropriate combine testing that maximize accuracy while minimizing irrelevant and redundant strategies.

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing method that is used to fabricate different types of complex components using a layer-by-layer approach. The parts are produced directly from three-dimensional computer-aided design data by melting the powdered material layer-by-layer with the aid of laser power. In this work, an experimental investigation of the process parameters of the SLM method using stainless steel 316L powder was conducted. The influence of laser power, scanning speed, and hatching distance on the surface roughness of the specimens was investigated. The design of experiment was conducted using Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array. Furthermore, statistical analysis using signal-to-noise (S/N) response and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to obtain the optimal parameter combinations of the SLM process. From the experimental results, it was found that laser power has the greatest effect on the surface roughness relative to scanning speed and hatching distance. Moreover, using regression analysis, the predicted values of surface roughness and signal-to-noise ratios were obtained. The predicted values were then compared with the experimental values. Lastly, shot peening technique was used to improve the surface roughness of the manufactured components. The results show that the shot peening process offers about 33.28 % reduction in the surface roughness of the manufactured parts.

Published: March 2018

The ability to sense time and anticipate events is critical for survival. Learned responses that allow anticipation of the availability of food or water have been intensively studied. While anticipatory behaviors also occur prior to availability of regularly available rewards, there has been relatively little work on anticipation of drugs of abuse, specifically methamphetamine (MA). In the present study, we used a protocol that avoided possible CNS effects of stresses of handling or surgery by testing anticipation of MA availability in animals living in their home cages, with daily voluntary access to the drug at a fixed time of day. Anticipation was operationalized as the amount of wheel running prior to MA availability. Mice were divided into four groups given access to either nebulized MA or water, in early or late day. Animals with access to MA, but not water controls, showed anticipatory activity, with more anticipation in early compared to late day and significant interaction effects. Next, we explored the neural basis of the MA anticipation, using c-FOS expression, in animals euthanized at the usual time of nebulization access. In the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the pattern of c-FOS expression paralleled that of anticipatory behavior, with significant main and interaction effects of treatment and time of day. The results for the lateral septum (LS) were significant for main effects and marginally significant for interaction effects. These studies suggest that anticipation of MA is associated with activation of brain regions important in circadian timing, emotional regulation, and decision making.

Differential Expression Profiling of Microspores During the Early Stages of Isolated Microspore Culture Using the Responsive Barley Cultivar Gobernadora
Authors: Bélanger Sébastien , Marchand Suzanne , Jacques Pierre-Étienne , Meyers Blake , Belzile François
Published: March 2018

In barley, it is possible to induce embryogenesis in the haploid and uninucleate microspore to obtain a diploid plant that is perfectly homozygous. To change developmental fates in this fashion, microspores need to engage in cellular de-differentiation, interrupting the pollen formation, and restore totipotency prior to engaging in embryogenesis. In this work, we used the barley cultivar Gobernadora to characterize the transcriptome of microspores prior to (day 0) and immediately after (days 2 and 5) the application of a stress pretreatment. A deep RNA-seq analysis revealed that microspores at these three time points exhibit a transcriptome of ∼14k genes, ∼90% of which were shared. An expression analysis identified a total of 3,382 differentially expressed genes (DEGs); of these, 2,155 and 2,281 DEGs were respectively identified when contrasting expression at days 0 and 2 and at days 2 and 5. These define 8 expression profiles in which DEGs share a common up- or down-regulation at these time points. Up-regulation of numerous glutathione S-transferase and heat shock protein genes as well as down-regulation of ribosomal subunit protein genes was observed between days 0 and 2. The transition from microspores to developing embryos (days 2 vs. 5) was marked by the induction of transcription factor genes known to play important roles in early embryogenesis, numerous genes involved in hormone biosynthesis and plant hormonal signal transduction in addition to genes involved in secondary metabolism. This work sheds light on transcriptional changes accompanying an important developmental shift and provides candidate biomarkers for embryogenesis in barley.

The Relationship between Religiosity, Environmental Orientation and Environmental Behaviors: An Empirical Study with Turkish and British Muslim Samples
Authors: Ayten Ali , Hussaın Amjad
Published: March 2018

This article examines the relationship between environmental orientation, behaviour, and religiosity. It also deals with the relations between environmental orientations, behaviours and socio-demographic variables, such as, gender, country and age. The correlational survey method and the questionnaire technique are used for research. The sample covers 342 people ranging from ages 16 to 74. 26% (N= 90) of the sample are British Muslims and 74 % (N= 252) are Turkish Muslims. “Environmental Orientation Scale”, “Environmental Behaviour Scale”, and “Religiosity Scale” measures are applied. The findings indicate that religiosity has a positive effect on ‘environmental stewardship’ and ‘waste management’ however it has no relation to ‘environmental  ominion’ and ‘active environmentalism’. In addition, the findings demonstrate that the age and the environmental dominion factors were more effective on environmental behaviour rather than religiosity. The implications of these results and the suggestions for future research are discussed.

Introduction: This study evaluates the effects of simvastatin on the liver, in a mouse model of DMBA-induced breast cancer, with regards to histopathological, biochemical and antioxidant features.

Methods: Mice were randomly divided into two groups: A (control group) and B (mammary tumor group); the latter group received DMBA (50 mg/kg) by oral gavage once a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Animals positive for breast cancer tumors were randomly divided into 3 subgroups: 1) no treatment group (D1), 2) mice that received simvastatin (80 mg/kg) per os (P.O.) daily for 4 consecutive weeks (D2), and 3) mice that received tamoxifen (50 mg/kg) P.O. daily for 4 consecutive weeks (D3).

Results: Administration of simvastatin to D2 mice resulted in significantly higher superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity as well as glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and accompanied by reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content in liver as compared to D1 group. Tamoxifen significantly increased liver glutathione (GSH) content as compared to D1 mice. Moreover, MDA levels in liver of mice treated with tamoxifen were significantly lower than in the D1 group. Mice in the D1 group showed significantly increased levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate transaminase (AST), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) in liver tissues; these levels were significantly reduced by simvastatin administration. Moreover, tamoxifen decreased ALP and AST activities. Histopathological examination of liver sections from mice in the D1 group showed severe deteriorative changes. The extent and severity of changes in D2 and D3 groups were almost the same and milder than D1 group.

Conclusion: In conclusion, simvastatin appears to have a hepatoprotective role in mice with DMBA-induced breast cancer, due partly to its antioxidant properties.

Non-invasive ablation of cardiac tissue to control ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a novel therapeutic consideration in the management of ventricular arrhythmias associated with structural heart disease. The technique involves the use of stereotactic radiotherapy delivered to VT substrates. Although invasive mapping can be used to identify the target, the use of non-invasive ECG and imaging techniques combined with multi-electrode body-surface ECG recordings offers the potential of a completely non-invasive approach. Early case series have demonstrated a consistent decrease in VT burden and sufficient early safety to allow more detailed multicenter studies. Such studies are currently in progress to further evaluate this promising technology.
Recognition, Diagnosis, and Management of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Authors: Soni Meshal , Birati Edo Y
Published: March 2018

The clinical syndrome of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unique in terms of etiologies, diagnostic criteria, costs, and treatment modalities when compared to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. There is an emerging paradigm shift that recognizes the clinical syndrome of HFpEF and its various phenotypes. Understanding these HFpEF phenotypes is crucial to understanding the pathophysiology of HFpEF, which in turn can further guide our management strategies. This review outlines the diagnostic criteria, introduces the common clinical phenotypes, and discusses treatments currently utilized in practice for the management of HFpEF.
Formation and development of Mykola Kostomarov's historiosophical views
Authors: Svitlenko Serhii Ivanovych
Published: March 2018

The domestic and foreign factors of formation and formation of the historiosophical views of the young M. I. Kostomarov are considered. It was shown that during the Kharkiv period the formation of the historiosophical vision of M. I. Kostomarov took place, and in Kiev the formation of the main features of his historiosophical concept. It was proved that in the mid–1830s − mid–1840s M. I. Kostomarov was formed and established as a Ukrainian philosopher of romantic, nation-loving, Slavophil and christocentric world outlook. In the creative work of the thinker found a reflection on such historiosophical problems as histogenesis of mankind, including the Slavs, the purpose, motive, content, structure and prospects of Ukrainian history. In the center of the historiosophy M. I. Kostomarov was the Ukrainian people as a motive of historical existence with their peopleʼs idea, character and needs. According to the thinker, the key factor in the progress of history was the issue of faith, which was interwoven with social, political, military and ethnic factors. The purpose of history was the realization of the main popular idea of Ukrainians, which they saw as independence and freedom. M. I. Kostomarov formulated the idea of national-cultural revival of Ukraine and the creation of a democratic and republican society within the federation of Slavic peoples, which was an alternative to the imperial regimes. Contradictions in the thinkerʼs outlook are associated with the presence of double loyalty and identity.
Bohorodyts'ka and Starosamars'ka hundred (sotnya): administrative system and officer (starshyna) corps
Authors: Repan Oleh Anatoliiovych
Published: March 2018

Bohorodyts'ka and Starosamars'ka hundred (sotnya)is an unique Cossack formations. They existed in a territorial isolation from the Hetmanate and Slobozhanshchyna, on the lands of the Zaporozhian Sich. The study of these formations will better understand the policy of the Russian government in relation to the Sich, to find out the methods by which the state authorities planned to put Zaporizhzhya Cossacks under their control. We do not know when the Bohorodyts'ka hundred (sotnya) arose. Now the first mention in the documents dates back to 1700. The Russian government planned to create a Cossack regiment (polk) here, but in reality was founded a Cossack hundred (sotnya). Ivan Mazepa, as an autonomous ruler, wanted to include this formation in the structure of Hetmanate, but a hundred (sotnya) was subject to the authority of a representative of the Russian administration – the Kiev governor. The hundreds (sotnya) were liquidated as a result of Russia's defeat in the war with Turkey and the signing of the Prut peace in 1711. We do not know when the Cossack hundred (sotnya) was restored under the name Starosamars'ka. This happened in the late 1730s – early 1740s. In 1744, the Starosamarsʼka hundreds became part of the Poltava regiment (polk) of the Hetmanate. The administrative apparatus of the hundreds was predominantly similar to other hundreds of Hetmanates, but the real power of the Cossack officers was a bit lower here. During the existence of the Starosamars'ka hundreds, such a body of self-government was preserved as a council (rada) that was not typical for the Hetmanate in this period. This was due to the fact that the peoples could easily escape from their power and move to neighboring settlements and recognize the jurisdiction of the Zaporozhska Sich. The population of hundreds and officers consisted mainly of immigrants from the left bank of the Dnieper, to a lesser extent – from immigrants from the right bank. Summing up, I note that the Bohorodyts'ka and Starosamars'ka hundred (sotnya) appeared as instruments of control of the Russian government over the colonization of Zaporizhye cossacklands. The Bohorodyts'ka hundred (sotnya), as far as we can judge, was under the direct authority of the Kiev governor. Starosamars'ka hundred (sotnya) became part of the Hetmanate. This is due to the fact that in the 1740s the Russian government was already convinced of the reliable control over the Hetmanate, although at the end of the 17th century there was no such control. Zaporizhska Sich fought both with legal and violent methods with this hundred (sotnya), which was located on the lands of the Zaporozhian Cossacks. The Starosamars'ka hundred (sotnya) ceased to exist in October 1761, when its territory entered the jurisdiction of the Zaporozhzhya Sich.
The Start of the Jews Rescue Campaign by the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky in August 1942
Authors: Skira Yurii Romanovych
Published: March 2018

Start of the campaign for the rescue of the Jews by the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky in August 1942 is studied in the article. The author begins with an analysis of the August campaign in 1942 as a massive Holocaust of Lvivʼs Jewish community. He focuses on the fact that a foreboding of imminent catastrophe felt by some Jews led them, in despair, to address the Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. A visit of Rabbis Dawid Kahane and Kalman Chameides started the campaign for the rescue of Jewish children from Lviv Ghetto. Active rescue efforts regarding adult Jews were made during the August operation. Some sources allow us to assert that sheltering the Jews in cellars of St. Georgeʼs Cathedral architectural complex was not a one-time act of commitment but an ongoing rescue operation under conditions of growing genocide. Events that took place in August 1942 became the turning point for Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky and Lviv Jews and their relationship, since they started the process of rescuing people deprived of the right to live by the Nazis. This rescuing campaign developed during the following months of autumn 1942.
The Philanthropic Organizations' Assistance to Jews of Romania and "Transnistria" during the World War II
Authors: Radchenko Iryna Gennadiivna
Published: March 2018

The article is devoted to assistance, rescue to the Jewish people in Romanian territory, including "Transnistria" in 1939–1945. Using the archival document from different institutions (USHMM, Franklyn D. Roosevelt Library) and newest literature, the author shows the scale of the assistance, its mechanism and kinds. It was determined some of existed charitable organizations and analyzed its mechanism of cooperation between each other. Before the war, the Romanian Jewish Community was the one of largest in Europe (after USSR and Poland) and felt all tragedy of Holocaust. Romania was the one of the Axis states; the anti-Semitic policy has become a feature of Marshal Antonescu policy. It consisted of deportations from some regions of Romania to newly-created region "Transnistria", mass exterminations, death due to some infectious disease, hunger, etc. At the same moment, Romania became an example of cooperation of the international organizations, foreign governments on providing aid. The scale of this assistance was significant: thanks to it, many of Romanian Jews (primarily, children) could survive the Holocaust: some of them were come back to Romanian regions, others decide to emigrate to Palestine. The emphasis is placed on the personalities, who played important (if not decisive) role: W. Filderman, S. Mayer, Ch. Colb, J. Schwarzenberg, R. Mac Clelland and many others. It was found that the main part of assistance to Romanian Jews was began to give from the end of 1943, when the West States, World Jewish community obtained numerous proofs of Nazi crimes against the Jews (and, particularly, Romanian Jews). It is worth noting that the assistance was provided, mostly, for Romanian Jews, deported from Regat; some local (Ukrainian) Jews also had the possibility to receive a lot of needful things. But before the winter 1942, most of Ukrainian Jews was exterminated in ghettos and concentration camps. The main kinds of the assistance were financial (donations, which was given by JDC through the ICRC and Romanian Jewish Community), food parcels, clothes, medicaments, and emigrations from "Transnistria" to Romania, Palestine (after 1943). Considering the status of Romania (as Nazi Germany's ally in World War II), the international financial transactions dealt with some difficulties, which delayed the relief, but it was changed after the Romania's joining to Allies. The further research on the topic raises new problem for scholars. Particularly, it deals with using of memoirs. There is one other important point is inclusion of national (Ukrainian) historiography on the topic, concerning the rescue of Romanian Jews, to European and world history context.
