Making Globalisation Inclusive of People: A Trade Union Perspective (The Mahbub-ul-Haq Memorial Lecture)
Authors: Noriyuki Suzuki  , Sabur Ghayur
Published: August 2018

“The greatest tragedy is to treat the unequal as equal”, says Aristotle. In a different perspective, similar concerns have found an echo centuries later—” the free play of market forces between unequal trading partners would only punish poorer commodity exporters at the same time as it brings advantages to the rich industrial countries”.1 New modalities of participation for developing countries in the trading system were suggested decades ago to attack the persistent trade imbalance and to create essential external conditions for accelerating the rate of economic growth. These included: (1) guaranteeing price stabilisation and improving market access for primary exports; (2) allowing greater policy space to develop local industries and reducing barriers to their exports; (3) establishing more appropriate terms of accession to the multilateral system, and (4) reducing the burden of debt-servicing. The developments as unfolded over the years, and more so since 1990s, are found as largely drifting away from these assertions of yester years. Market access to the agricultural products still has to materialise. Greater policy space to developing countries almost stands abandoned. Debt burden of the developing poor countries, the HIPC initiative notwithstanding, remains at volatile level.
Research, Extension, and Information: Key Inputs in Agricultural Productivity Growth (Distinguished Lecture)
Authors: Boris E. Bravo-Ureta
Published: August 2018

The objective of this paper is to examine how economists have perceived the contributions of agriculture to the economic development process and then to present the case for the critical role that research, extension, and information can play in agricultural productivity growth and thus in economic development, particularly in low income countries. After a brief presentation of the framework commonly used to examine productivity growth, a distinction is made between technological change and technical efficiency. This distinction is crucial for policy purposes because the major impetus behind technological change are research and development, while education and experience are critical to improving managerial capabilities to make efficient use of a given technology. Empirical findings concerning the returns on agricultural research, with special attention to studies that have focused on Pakistan, are discussed. The paper then offers an overview of alternative methodologies available to measure technical efficiency, summarises the empirical literature, and finally focuses on studies dealing with Pakistani agriculture. Once it is established that improvements in technical efficiency could contribute significantly to increases in farm output and income, the discussion moves to some issues that have implications for the measurement and potential improvement of farm efficiency. An overview of a model of privatised extension services, currently being applied in some Latin American countries and which could have some relevance to conditions in Pakistan and elsewhere, is provided. The paper ends with the contention that significant improvements are needed in the collection and organisation of farm production data if we are to advance our understanding of the drivers of productivity growth at the farm level.
HUMANISTIC CONTOURS OF THE “EURASIAN PROJECT”
Authors: Averenkova Natal'ya Vyacheslavovna , Pashintsev Evgenii Vasil'evich
Published: August 2018

The collapse of the first planned society at the turn of the centuries revealed the impasse not only of the Russian civilization, but of the civilization in general. We are witnessing the transition of mankind from the history of anonymous social institutions, which consolidate the spontaneous sequence of social formations, to the history of cultural-historical type formations, where human Spirit becomes a full participant of historical action. The theoretical fixation of this process requires the comprehensive development of the methodology of cultural and historical determinism. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that Russia, with its centuries-old humanistic potential, is on the verge of a great spiritual revolution connected with the transition from the rule of mature scientific rationalism to the domination of a new spiritual formation - universal Moral.
COGNITIVE POTENTIAL OF SYNERGETICS IN PUBLIC BRANCHES OF LAW
Authors: Bezvikonnaya Elena Vladimirovna
Published: August 2018

The article is an attempt to assess the conditions and mechanisms for using synergetics as a postnonclassical paradigm of legal science with significant potential under the conditions of the polyconceptuality of developing the cognition theory of legal phenomena and processes. The subject area covers the cognitive potential of synergetics in the branches of public law. Public branches of law provide an opportunity to reveal the potential of synergetics methodology to the greatest extent, since they assume a wide range of subjects of law, priority of dispositive norms of legal regulation. The result of the study is the identification of limitations and prospects for the development of synergetics methodology in public law branches. It is noted that the main contradiction is the systemic nature of the branches of law, which allows them to maintain their relative stability and to ensure the timely resolution of conflicts. However, the widening gap between the formal norm and the actual mechanisms of law enforcement in public relations at the level of the state and municipalities entails a crisis of system methodology, an access to the potential of self-organization processes in the conditions of uncertainty and non-predictability of legal phenomena and processes.
PROBLEM OF THEODICY IN ETHICAL THOUGHT OF RUSSIAN RELIGIOUS RENAISSANCE AT THE TURN OF THE XIX-XX CENTURIES
Authors: Kondrat’eva Svetlana Borisovna
Published: August 2018

The article is devoted to the analysis of the theodicy problem in the heritage of Russian religious Renaissance thinkers at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Basing on the views of S. N. Bulgakov, N. A. Berdyaev, I. A. Ilyin, N. O. Lossky and S. L. Frank the study highlights and analyzes the characteristic features of the understanding and objectivation of theodicy as a religious-philosophical doctrine of the justification of God through the ethical categories of good and evil, freedom and morality. The substantiation of the fact that the understanding of the problem of theodicy is inseparable from the ethical problems having priority character in the works of Russian philosophers is provided.
GENERAL PLAN OF NAKHICHEVAN-ON-DON AND RUSSIAN URBAN PLANNING PRACTICE OF THE LAST QUARTER OF THE XVIII CENTURY
Authors: Baeva Ol’ga Vladimirovna
Published: August 2018

The article deals with the authorship and mechanism of creating the first urban plan (1781) of Nakhichevan-on-Don. The researchers put forward some assumptions about the possible author: the hypothesis of the academician O. Kh. Khalpakhchyan that the project was developed by the famous architect I. E. Starov is the most recognized. Having examined available sources and publications, having carried out the comparative analysis of urban general plans and having studied the practice of their creation in the Russian Empire of the modern history, the author of this article shows that this hypothesis does not find yet actual confirmation and offers her understanding of the problem.

Discovery of the major mechanism of global warming and climate change
Authors: Rivera Paul C.
Published: August 2018

Statistical analysis of the number of destructive earthquakes versus global temperature and greenhouse gases revealed very significant correlations. This is a strong indication that the frequent occurrence of major earthquakes had increased earth’s obliquity and induced both global warming and emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) in recent years. It is further shown by a simple model developed here that seismic-induced oceanic pressure could enhance the obliquity leading to increased solar radiative flux on earth. The possible increase in the planetary obliquity was substantiated by the solar radiation model SOLRAD, which simulated an associated increase of absorbed solar radiation. The model also revealed a net poleward gain of solar radiative flux with enhanced obliquity which could be the cause of the observed polar amplification of global warming and climate change. Multiple regression analysis also showed that the sudden obliquity change since 1995 played a major role in the temperature rise and GHG increase, and coincided with the 10 warmest years on record. Climate simulations conducted with the EdGCM also showed that enhanced obliquity causes increased solar radiative flux, increased air and ocean temperature, and decline of ocean ice cover. The enhanced obliquity and absorbed solar radiation could have accelerated the melting of ice sheets and glaciers, exposure and degradation of permafrost regions, increased CO2 respiration fluxes from soil, and forest fires during summer. This study confirmed in several ways that earthquake-pressured obliquity change, and not greenhouse effect, is the major mechanism governing global warming and climate change presently occurring on earth.
Diatom evidence of 20th Century ecosystem change in Lake Baikal, Siberia
Authors: Roberts Sarah , Swann George , McGowan Suzanne , Panizzo Virginia , Vologina Elena , Sturm Michael , Mackay Anson
Published: August 2018

Lake Baikal has been experiencing limnological changes from recent atmospheric warming since the 1950s, with rising lake water temperatures, reduced ice cover duration and reduced lake water mixing due to stronger thermal stratification. This study uses lake sediment cores to reconstruct recent changes (c. past 20 years) in Lake Baikal’s pelagic diatom communities relative to previous 20th century diatom assemblage records collected in 1993 and 1994 at the same locations in the lake. Recent changes documented within the core-top diatom records are in agreement with predictions by Mackay et al (2006) and Moore et al (2009) of diatom responses to warming at Lake Baikal. Sediments in the south basin of the lake exhibit clear temporal changes, with the most rapid occurring in the 1990’s with shifts towards higher abundances of the cosmopolitan Synedra acus and a decline in endemic species, mainly Cyclotella minuta and Stephanodiscus meyerii and to a lesser extent Aulacoseira baicalensis and Aulacoseira skvortzowii. The north basin, in contrast, shows no evidence of recent diatom response to lake warming despite marked declines in north basin ice cover in recent decades. This study also shows no diatom-inferred evidence of eutrophication from deep water sediments. However, due to the localised impacts seen in areas of Lake Baikal’s shoreline from nutrient pollution derived from out-dated sewage treatment plants, urgent action is vital to prevent anthropogenic pollution extending into the open waters.
Pembangunan Sistem Cerdas Agregator Berita Bahasa Indonesia
Authors: Wibisono Yudi , Khodra Masayu Leylia
Published: August 2018

Sistem agregator berita, seperti news.google.com, dapat membantu pembaca berita dalam menghadapi ledakan informasi. Walaupun sistem agregator ini telah mengumpulkan artikel berita dari berbagai sumber dan menyajikannya pada satu tempat, pembaca masih menghadapi persoalan banyaknya informasi yang harus diproses, dan sebagian informasi menyatakan hal yang sama dengan kalimat yang berbeda. Untuk itu, diperlukan sistem agregator berita yang tidak hanya dilengkapi fasilitas crawling (pengumpulan berita secara otomatis dari berbagai situs berita online), tetapi juga dilengkapi berbagai fasilitas analisis teks (klasifikasi, clustering, ekstraksi informasi 5W1H, dan peringkasan otomatis dari kumpulan artikel berita). Saat ini, belum ada sistem agregasi berita yang dilengkapi fasilitas peringkasan, terutama untuk berita Bahasa Indonesia. Sistem cerdas agregator berita ini terdiri atas 6 komponen utama yaitu 1) crawler untuk mengumpulkan berita terbaru, 2) 5W1H extractor untuk mengekstraksi informasi 5W1H (Who, What, Where, When, Why, How) dari setiap artikel berita, 3) classifier untuk kategorisasi jenis berita, 4) clusterer untuk mengelompokkan topik dari setiap jenis berita, 5) summarizer untuk meringkas kumpulan berita setiap topik, dan 6) penyaji antarmuka. Semua komponen analisis teks terutama 5W1H extractor dan summarizer merupakan kontribusi makalah ini yang membedakannya dengan penelitian sistem agregasi berita sebelumnya.
Equivalence Testing and the Second Generation P-Value
Authors: Lakens Daniel , Delacre Marie
Published: August 2018

To move beyond the limitations of null-hypothesis tests, statistical approaches have been developed where the observed data is compared against a range of values that are equivalent to the absence of a meaningful effect. Specifying a range of values around zero allows researchers to statistically reject the presence of effects large enough to matter, and prevents practically insignificant effects from being interpreted as a statistically significant difference. We compare the behavior of the recently proposed second generation p-value (Blume, D’Agostino McGowan, Dupont, & Greevy, 2018) with the more established Two One-Sided Tests (TOST) equivalence testing procedure (Schuirmann, 1987). We show that the two approaches yield almost identical results under optimal conditions. Under suboptimal conditions (e.g., when the confidence interval is wider than the equivalence range, or when confidence intervals are asymmetric) the second generation p-value becomes difficult to interpret as a descriptive statistic. The second generation p-value is interpretable in a dichotomous manner (i.e., when the SGPV equals 0 or 1 because the confidence intervals lies completely within or outside of the equivalence range), but this dichotomous interpretation does not require calculations. We conclude that equivalence tests yield more consistent p-values, distinguish between datasets that yield the same second generation p-value, and allow for easier control of Type I and Type II error rates.
Hypotheses about the relationship of cognition with psychopathology should be tested by embedding them into empirical priors
Authors: Moutoussis Michael , Hopkins Alexandra Kathryn , Dolan Raymond J
Published: August 2018

Mechanistic hypotheses about psychiatric disorders are increasingly formalized as computational models of information-processing in the brain. Model parameters, characterizing for example decision-making biases, are hypothesized to correlate with clinical constructs. This is promising, but here we draw attention to some techniques used to minimize noise in parameter estimation which are in common use but may be unhelpful. Namely, the use of empirical priors that do not incorporate relationships between psychopathology and modelled processes will suppress the very relationships of interest. This is because the variability associated with psychopathology will be indistinguishable from that due to noise from the point of view of the hierarchical, or random-effects, fit that used the empirical priors in question. We advocate incorporating cross-domain, e.g. psychopathology-cognition relationships into the parameter inference itself.
Age-related decline in item but not spatiotemporal associative memory for a real-world event
Authors: Diamond Nicholas B , Romero Kristoffer , Jeyakumar Nivethika , Levine Brian
Published: August 2018

Normal aging is typically associated with reduced ability to reconstruct the spatiotemporal context of past events, a core component of episodic memory. However, little is known about our ability to remember the order of events comprising extended real-world experiences and how this ability changes with age. We leveraged the richness and structure of a museum exhibit to address this question. Three months after visiting the exhibit, 141 adults aged 18-84 completed a test of spatiotemporal order memory and old/new recognition using pictures from the exhibit and similar lures, from which measures of associative and item memory were derived. Order discrimination accuracy was modulated by inter-item order and distance in younger and older adults, extending findings from recognition of laboratory stimuli at short delays to remote real-world experiences. In contrast to established findings from laboratory-based assessments, we observed a significant effect of aging on item memory driven byincreased lure susceptibility, but no age-related reduction in spatiotemporal associative memory. These findings present novel insights into different components of memory for real-world experiences at naturalistic timescales and across the lifespan.

Movement, the Senses and Representations of the Roman World: Experiencing the Sebasteion in Aphrodisias
Authors: Kemp Joanna , Kemp Joanna
Published: August 2018

This article examines the Sebasteion – a complex for emperor-worship built in the first century AD - in Aphrodisias, modern Turkey, and studies its political and ideological messages when the sensory experiences of the spectators are considered. The monument contained geographical representations of the peoples of the Roman world placed above a portico. Previous studies of this monument focus upon close and repeated visual study to gain an idea of a powerful empire, but this is not how the contemporary audience would have experienced it. During a religious procession the spectators were moving past static images situated high above them, with many other stimuli, which could distract from or add to the intended ideological messages of the monument. Therefore this article considers movement and architecture as part of the sensory experience and illustrates that these would have affected the audience’s encounters, which in turn could affect perceptions of the Roman world.
Anorexia and Its Metaphors
Authors: Wilson Susannah Margaret , Wilson Susannah
Published: August 2018

This article highlights questions about a number of popularly held beliefs regarding anorexia nervosa. The beliefs this article addresses include that it is a ‘disease’ caused by socio-cultural pressures on women to be excessively thin or self-effacing; and that in the post-war period the problem has increased to the level of an epidemic. Using the influential insights offered by cultural critic Susan Sontag’s consideration of ‘illness as metaphor’, the article examines the ways in which these beliefs are culturally constructed through metaphorical thinking. Without discounting the socio-cultural explanations for the increased diagnosis of anorexia, it suggests that the breaking down of these powerful metaphors would be constructive in order to achieve a more measured cultural view of the problem. Drawing on key publications from the last 50 years, contemporary press reports and historical research on anorexia I argue that the myths surrounding the disorder confer on it a potency that is out of proportion to its cultural importance.
And So The Judge Returns: Blood Meridian Workshop at the University of Warwick
Authors: Laug Katja , Laug Katja
Published: August 2018

Pulitzer Prize winning author Cormac McCarthy’s work has become required reading in literary criticism, and yet no syllabus appears to provision for the in-depth discussion his texts, particularly the 1985 novel, Blood Meridian: Or, the Evening Redness in the West, require. The ‘And So the Judge Returns: Blood Meridian Workshop’ at the University of Warwick emerged from the idea to provide a space that facilitates such a discussion. Designed to bring academics and non-academics of all ages together in one space, the workshop quickly developed from a small, Warwick-based event into a live-streamed and recorded international conference with a significant audience based in the United States. The workshop reaffirmed the interest in the novel’s enigmatic antagonist Judge Holden and motifs such as the landscape and violence. Less traditional ideas of the judge were also discussed, such as reading the judge as fraud or as weary of chaos and perpetual violence. The workshop succeeded in creating a space to share thoughts and ideas and continue the academic discourse on the novel. Speakers included Dr Nicholas Monk and Dr David Holloway, both established McCarthy critics; Peter Josyph whose artistic engagement with McCarthy’s work and career his highly respected among critics; and Dr Dan O’Hara, expert in American Studies. Ronan Hatfull and Katja Laug represented the younger generation of McCarthy critics. Live-streaming also afforded insights into the academic discourse to the mostly non-academic online audience. The article provides a summary of the day’s events and the links to the edited recordings.

The conversation piece is the product of a group interview with Professor Jack Zipes and provides useful insights about publishing for early career researchers across disciplines. Based on his wider experiences as academic and writer, Professor Zipes answered questions from PhD researchers about: writing books, monographs and edited collections; turning a PhD thesis into a monograph; choosing and approaching publishers; and the advantages of editing books and translations. It presents some general advice for writing and publishing aimed at postgraduate students. Professor Zipes is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, United States, a world expert on fairy tales and storytelling highlighting the social and historical dimensions of them. Zipes has forty years of experience publishing academic and mass-market books, editing anthologies, and translating work from French, German and Italian. His best known books are Breaking the Magic Spell (1979), Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion (1983), The Irresistible Fairy Tale: The Cultural and Social History of a Genre (2012), and The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm (2014).
‘There is no better means of instruction on China than letting China speak for herself’: Thomas Percy and Hau Kiou Choaan
Authors: Yan Mengmeng , Yan Mengmeng
Published: August 2018

Hau Kiou Choaan represents a fresh enquiry into literary orientalism in Britain of the eighteenth century. This article will discuss Percy's adaptation of Hau Kiou Choaan from an original Chinese novel, and how the ways in which Percy interprets the Chinese novel signify his peculiar views of China.  On the title page of Hau Kiou Choaan; or, The Pleasing History (1761), Thomas Percy quotes from Jean-Baptiste Du Halde’s A Description of the Empire of China and of Chinese Tartary (1738): ‘There is no better means of instruction on China than letting China speak for herself’. It remains questionable, whether by presenting an original piece of Chinese literature, Percy has really let China ‘speak for herself’; it is reasonable to argue that Hau Kiou Choaan carries as much information about China as it does about Percy’s own perceptions of this country. Whether Percy’s works and views of China provoked louder criticism or higher praise, his input into the studies of China was a positive one, for it contributed to an increasingly vigorous debate that would increasingly perceive differences as a source of strength, not weakness.

Planiranje sječe dugotrajna je i zahtjevna aktivnost, posebice kad uključuje operativne planove bez sustava za donošenje odluka. Ovime se istraživanjem odredila razina etata i sustavi privlačenja drva za svaku sastojinu u jedinici za upravljanje smrekovom šumom u planinskoj jedinici İkisu u Turskoj pomoću modela linearnog programiranja napravljenog za vremenski horizont planiranja od 50 godina. Prvo, kako bi se odredila razina sječe, razmatrala se maksimizacija debla koja ne prelazi određenu udaljenost od centroida odjeljka i najbliže ceste. Za prvi period vremenskog horizonta planiranja određen je godišnji etat od otprilike 68728 m3. Zatim je uključeno šest različitih sustava za privlačenje drva tijekom određivanja metode privlačenja drva za period od prvih 10 godina horizonta planiranja. To su ljudska snaga, životinjska snaga, šumski traktor, mala pokretna dizalica, srednja pokretna dizalica i vitlo na saonicama. U donošenju odluka također su razmatrani različiti čimbenici kao što su smjer transporta, nagib, udaljenost od ceste, učinkovitost ili troškovi. Razvijene su različite strategije planiranja, uključujući maksimizaciju profita, minimizaciju gubitaka u proizvodnji, vremenska ograničenja, te su problemi riješeni pomoću sustava LINDOTM. Jedna od strategija odabrana je temeljem dostupnosti strojeva, zakonskih rješenja, osoblja i ekonomskih uvjeta šumarije. Prema odabranoj strategiji (STR2), uz maksimalni ukupni profit od proizvodnje debla, uključujući vremensko ograničenje od manje od 2000 sati rada žičare i vitla na saonicama, zaradit će se 6365205 €, potrošit će se 19055 sati, i izgubit će se 1697.8 m3 debla te će nastati šteta od 91.77. Kao rezultat, ta odluka bi mogla donijeti i koristi, posebice u ekološkoj svijesti, vremenu, radu i novcu kada se usporedi s klasičnim pristupima.
Police Encounters and Experiences among Youths and Adults Who Use Drugs: Qualitative and Quantitative Findings of a Cross-Sectional Study in Victoria, British Columbia
Authors: Greer Alissa , Sorge Justin , Sharpe Kimberly , Bear Daniel , Macdonald Scott
Published: August 2018

People who use drugs are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system in Canada; how they come to be in contact with this system is typically through encounters with police. Understanding the nature of encounters between people who use drugs and police is vital to developing interventions and policing practices that are appropriate, fair, and promote the well-being of this community. This study quantitatively and qualitatively examines police encounters from the perspectives of youths and adults who use drugs in Victoria, British Columbia. The results show divergent predictors of police encounters and perceptions of these encounters based on age cohort. Youths were more likely to report police encounters and were more likely to perceive these encounters as negative compared with the adult cohort. Among both age groups, unstable housing was a significant predictor of reporting a recent encounter with the police. Among adults only, opioid use was a significant predictor of negative encounters. The qualitative findings show that negative perceptions were largely due to police harassment, being labelled as a person who uses drugs, and interference with drug paraphernalia. These findings also show that mutual respect and relationships built over time contribute to more positive reports of encounters. There were also many reports of positive experiences despite legal interference. These results suggest that people who use drugs belong to a group that are labelled and discriminated against, but that relationship building between people who use drugs and police can have a positive impact. These results may inform local policing practices and cultures, which can promote the health and well-being of the community.

FORMATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AGRICULTURAL LAND AS A PRIORITY OF GREENING THE ECONOMY OF REGIONAL SYSTEM
Authors: Tiutiunnyk H.O.
Published: August 2018

Questions of creation the environmentally friendly agricultural land as a priority direction of greening the economy of regional system are considered. The role of environmentally friendly land as part of a balanced agricultural nature, quality characteristics which are the basis of agro-ecosystems preservation, productivity increasing, prevent degradation and agricultural landscapes restoration is analyzed. The article presents the issue of improving soil quality continues needs to be urgent. In particular, the task of improving the quality of agricultural land and considering the qualitative characteristics as an object of management remains unresolved, which necessitates further systematic research in this direction. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the essence of soil quality management, the creation of land masses with appropriate soil characteristics as a means of obtaining safe products of standardized quality, maintaining the quality of the natural environment, preventing its degradation and using innovative industrial technologies in alternative agricultural systems. It is substantiated that qualitative soil properties and fertility are inextricably linked. The processes of soil formation and soil fertility are determined by a number of natural factors and the nature of economic activity, which affects not only the arable layer but also deeper soil horizons, as well as groundwater and groundwater. The optimal parameters of fertility indices should be established for each type of soil, ie they can vary according to the fertility patterns as a combination of soil properties and modes that ensure the productivity of the land, the high quality and safety of the agricultural products derived from them. It is determined that the management of ecological agriculture will facilitate the creation of land uses with special characteristics, which are achieved through the implementation of the general laws of agriculture and a number of principles, among which the principles of environmental orientation are combined with the principles that facilitate their implementation.

Defined as Wobbler's Syndrome, a little compression on the spinal canal that can be caused by a combination of a herniated disc or a small narrowing of the spinal canal secondary to bone alterations that affect the spinal cord. Mainly affects large breed and giant dogs, causing a lot of pain and discomfort to the patient. Despite being a pathology of surgical, physical therapy can aid in the relief of the patient's pain. With this work the aim report a case of a dog breed Dalmatian of 11 years, with reduced mobility and painful symptoms in the cervical region, being these signals compatible with the Wobbler Syndrome. The therapeutic planning included passive mobilization exercises all the joints and stretching of the muscles involved to prevent further injuries. These exercises are also indicated in the treatment of pain and loss of mobility secondary to neuromuscle-skeletal dysfunction. The pain relief is also used the TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), which is an analgesic current, which acts on peripheral nerves and modular systems of pain, causing analgesia. The ball was used in this case Switzerland aimed at stretching, strengthening, muscular re-education of posture and balance training. Although the animal has been forwarded to the neurologist for re-evaluation and possible surgical referral, an improvement in clinical of pain, mobility, and improves range of motion in the activities of the day of the animal the owner shows efficient comments.

Les infections à entérobactéries productrices de carbapénémases peuvent représenter une pathologie redoutable, notamment dans les situations cliniques graves, en raison des possibilités thérapeutiques limitées. En France, les mécanismes OXA-48 et OXA-48-like (78 %) sont les plus fréquemment retrouvés. Les stratégies thérapeutiques actuelles limitées ont mis en exergue l’intérêt de certaines vieilles molécules et des associations d’antibiotiques avec une optimisation de leurs modalités d’administration. Dans l’attente de l’apport des futures options thérapeutiques, les essais contrôlés randomisés sont plus que nécessaires. Nous devons nous inspirer de l’expérience de ceux qui prennent en charge ces infections. La maîtrise du bon usage des antibiotiques reste toujours d’actualité afin de préserver l’efficacité des molécules existantes.

During the late Pleistocene, isolated lineages of hominins exchanged genes thus influencing genomic variation in humans in both the past and present. However, the dynamics of this genetic exchange and associated phenotypic consequences through time remain poorly understood. Gene exchange across divergent lineages can result in myriad outcomes arising from these dynamics and the environmental conditions under which it occurs. Here we draw from our collective research across various organisms, illustrating some of the ways in which gene exchange can structure genomic/phenotypic diversity within/among species. We present a range of examples relevant to questions about the evolution of hominins. These examples are not meant to be exhaustive, but rather illustrative of the diverse evolutionary causes/consequences of hybridization, highlighting potential drivers of human evolution in the context of hybridization including: influences on adaptive evolution, climate change, developmental systems, sex-differences in behavior, Haldane’s rule and the large X-effect, and transgressive phenotypic variation.

Autoimmune
polyglandular syndrome type 1 (APS-1), also called autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal
dystrophy, has three major components including mucocutaneous candidiasis,
hypoparatiroidism and Addison’s disease. It is an autosomal recessive disorder.
Mutations in the AIRE gene found on chromosome 21 are the cause of this disease.
A 21-year-old female patient with Addison's disease was admitted to our
outpatient clinic for routine control. The patient was diagnosed
with Addison's disease at the age of six when she applied for a complaint of
fatigue and hyperpigmentation. She was diagnosed with primary
hypoparathyroidism after 6 months.  Physical examination revealed that mucocutaneous candidiasis at her
mouth and ectodermal
dystrophy at her right hand second
finger’s nail. The patient had no hair on the pubic or
axillary region. Asplenism was detected in the abdominal
ultrasound examination. In
conclusion, patients with APS-1 can be presented with ectodermal dystrophy and it must be paid
attention to ectodermal dystrophy during diagnostic evaluation.

Çocuklarda,
özellikle 2 yaş altındaki hastalarda ve yenidoğanda, anatomik ve fizyolojik
farklılıklar nedeniyle endotrakeal entübasyon ve ventilasyonla ilgili güçlükler
daha sık görülmektedir. Özellikle yenidoğan döneminde dil ve oksiput büyük,
ağız küçük, epiglot hareketli ve boyun kısa olup bu faktörler laringoskopiyi ve
entübasyonu güçleştirebilmektedir. Goldenhar sendromu, etiyolojisi henüz
aydınlatılamamış, yaygın sistemik konjenital anomaliler ile karakterize, çoğu
kez sporadik nedenlerden kaynaklandığı gözlemlenen bir hastalıktır. Bu olgu
sunumunda yenidoğan döneminde yaşadığı solunum sıkıntısı nedeniyle entübe
edilmek istenen, ancak havayolu açıklığının sağlanmasında zorluk gelişen 8
aylık Goldenhar sendromlu hastamızın havayolu yönetiminde oluşabilecek
güçlükleri tartışmayı planladık.

Amaç:
Acineobacter
baumannii (A.
baumannii) suşları pekçok antibiyotik grubuna karşı direnç geliştirebilen
nozokomiyal infeksiyon etkenleridir. A. baumannii
suşlarında karbapenem grubu anibiyotiklere karşı direnç mekanizmalarından
birisi de meallo-beta-laktamaz enzimi üretimidir.  Metallo-beta-laktamaz enzimleri (VIM, IMP
vb.) aztreonam dışındaki tüm beta-laktamazları inhibe eden, çinko iyonuna
gereksinim  duyan enzimlerdir. Bu
çalışmanın amacı, karbapeneme dirençli A.
baumannni suşlarında metallo-beta-laktamaz  varlığının iki farklı fenoipik yöntemle araştırılmasıdır.
Gereç
ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya çeşitli klinik örnekleden
izole edilen karbapeneme dirençli 82 A. baumannii
suşu dahil edildi. Bakteri identifikasyonu konvansiyonel yönemler ve BD Phoenix
(Becton Dickinson, USA) otomatize sistemi ile gerçekleştirildi. Antibiyotik
duyarlılık testleri EUCAST önerileri doğrulusunda disk difüzyon yöntemiyle
belirlendi. MBL varlığı kombine disk yöntemi ve modifiye Hodge testi ile araştırıldı.
Bulgular:
Karbepeneme dirençli 82 A. baumannii
suşunun 3’ünde (% 3.7), kombine disk yöntemiyle MBL enzimi saptanırken,
Modifiye Hodge testi çalışılan 70 A. baumannii
suşunun 27 (%39)’sinde MBL üretimi saptandı. 

Sonuç: Hastanemizde karbapeneme dirençli A.baumannii suşlarında kombine disk
yöntemiyle MBL enzimi pozitifliği düşük oranda saptanırken, modifiye Hodge
testi ile yüksek oranda saptanmıştır. İki yöntem arasında korelasyon
saptanmamıştır. Sonuç olarak, MBL enzim varlığının referans
yöntem olan moleküler yöntemlerle belirlenerek iki fenotipik yöntemden
hangisinin daha uygun olduğunun belirlenmesi uygun bir yaklaşım olacaktır.
