Введение. Туберкулез является одной из наиболее значимых медико-социальных проблем как во всем мире, так и на территории России и отдельных ее регионов.Цель. Целью работы явилась оценка эпидемической ситуации по туберкулезу в Чеченской Республике в сложившихся современных социально-экономических условиях после проведенных контртеррористических операций (1994–1996 гг., 1999–2004 гг.).Методы. Источником информации послужили годовые отчеты Министерства здравоохранения Чеченской Республики за 2010–2015 гг., данные Росстата, статистические формы по туберкулезу (№ 8 и № 30).Результаты. Установлено трехкратное увеличение основных показателей по туберкулезу – заболеваемости, распространенности и смертности после контртеррористических операций (1994–1996 гг.) и снижение этих показателей в период 2010–2015 гг. Определены города и сельские муниципальные районы с наиболее и наименее благоприятной ситуацией по туберкулезу. Установлено увеличение в последние годы числа больных с бациллярной, с фиброзно-кавернозной формой, а также больных туберкулезом в сочетании с ВИЧ-инфекцией. Доказано, что со снижением распространенности фиброзно-кавернозной формы туберкулеза снижается показатель смертности от туберкулеза. Установлено снижение показателя заболеваемости туберкулезом в динамике за 2010–2015 гг. детей (0–14 лет) и подростков (15–17 лет), при этом заболеваемость подростков остается выше заболеваемости детей.Заключение. Для эффективной борьбы с туберкулезом на территории Чеченской Республики требуется совершенствование проведения медицинских осмотров, раннего выявления заболевших, своевременное проведение мер по иммунопрофилактике, усиление санитарно-просветительской работы.
ОЦЕНКА ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ ПРОФИЛАКТИКИ СТОМАТОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ ЗАБОЛЕВАНИЙ И СТОМАТОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ ПОМОЩИ ВОЕННЫМ ПЕНСИОНЕРАМ

Цель работы. На основе изучения самооценки состояния здоровья в целом и стоматологического здоровья, оценки уровня оказания стоматологической помощи дать характеристику организации профилактики стоматологических заболеваний и стоматологической помощи военным пенсионерам.Материалы и методы исследования. В основу исследования положены материалы социологического исследования самооценки состояния здоровья военных пенсионеров (300 анкет) и анализ карт выборки из медицинской документации по поводу обращения за стоматологической, в том числе ортопедической, помощью в учреждения здравоохранения, оказывающие медицинскую помощь данному контингенту (300 карт).Результаты. Получена медико-социальная характеристика военных пенсионеров и их отношения к организации стоматологической помощи и профилактике стоматологических заболеваний. Среди причин обращения к стоматологу абсолютно превалирует необходимость протезирования в связи с частичной утратой зубов (76%). Выполнение рекомендаций стоматолога имеет место только у 24,1% респондентов и в их семьях. В большинстве случаев врачу стоматологу-ортопеду удается оказать необходимую стоматологическую помощь, однако в 7,2% отмечается отсутствие результата, что связано с отсутствием данных пациентов на повторном приеме.Заключение. Отмечается низкий уровень медицинской грамотности и информированности военных пенсионеров по вопросам профилактики и лечения стоматологических заболеваний. Данное исследование подтверждает необходимость разработки комплекса мероприятий по стоматологической реабилитации военных пенсионеров.
СУЛЬФОЗИН — ПРОДУКТ ПСИХИАТРИЧЕСКОЙ ШКОЛЫ СССР: ТЕРАПЕВТИЧЕСКИЙ АГЕНТ ИЛИ СРЕДСТВО КАРАТЕЛЬНОЙ ПСИХИАТРИИ?

Цель исследования: Представить исторический обзор о применении сульфозинотерапии в психиатрии, как советской, так и постсоветской, и западной, об исторических показаниях для его применения, гипотезах о его механизмах действия, о доказательной базе для его применения или отсутствии таковой.Методология проведения работы. Авторами был проведен поиск литературы о сульфозинотерапии в библиотеке медицинского факультета Тель-Авивского университета и в библиотеке Ставропольского государственного медицинского университета, а также в PubMed. Найденные в результате этого поиска исторические литературные данные и представлены в настоящей статье. Кроме того, представлены также два клинических случая эффективности сульфозинотерапии, известные авторам.Результаты. Полученные нами в результате данного обзора литературы и рассмотрения клинических случаев данные свидетельствуют о том, что от пиротерапии (и в том числе сульфозинотерапии), как метода преодоления резистентности к психофармакотерапии, отказываться преждевременно, и что этот метод в 21-м веке нуждается в возрождении на новых, современных принципах и основаниях. Найденные нами данные также свидетельствуют о том, что, хотя применение сульфозина в карательных и дисциплинирующих целях общеизвестно и хорошо документировано, но, тем не менее, его применение далеко не всегда преследовало карательные цели, и что оно может в ряде случаев принести несомненную терапевтическую пользу.Область применения результатов. Полученные нами результаты могут применяться в психиатрии и наркологии, прежде всего в терапевтически резистентной субпопуляции больных.

Sleep is a natural state of inactivity resulting from the closing down of bodily systems, aided by the production of hormones. There are considerable variables in sleep patterns and individual requirements. Insomnia covers a variety of sleep problems, each needing a different approach. This article describes the process of sleep and the causes of insomnia; and outlines treatments to help improve the quality of sleep particularly in older people.
Cultures of fear: Perspectives on whistleblowing
Authors: Alnaqi Huda , McIntosh Bryan , Lancaster Abi
Published: May 2017

Whistleblowing is in part defined by the protection that it offers and does not offer to those who speak. Why some organisations find it almost impossible to protect whistblowers depends more on the properties of the organisation than the act of the individual whistleblower. These properties are, to a greater or lesser degree, present in all organisations but they are particularly present in nursing with its longstanding culture of deference to authority. Not all organisations protect whistleblowers that, unfortunately, are perceived to represent a threat to the organisation and the individual for challenging the underpinning norms of the organisation.

A microchip is for life — so choose wisely
Authors: Scott Peter
Published: May 2017

Several factors need to be considered when choosing a microchip system for use in your practice, in order to provide a quality product for your clients that will last for the life of their animals, together with a trouble-free registration process. These factors include methods of implantation, scanners for microchip detection, databases for registration, method of data entry into the registration system, and types of microchip. While basic costs are one of the factors to be considered, this must be balanced with the various aspects that make the system more or less efficient, more or less likely to fail, and easier or harder to use.
Gastrointestinal surgery — some tips and tricks
Authors: Atilla Aylin
Published: May 2017

Apart from performing an ovariohysterectomy or an ovariectomy, gastrointestinal surgery is the most common type of abdominal surgery that veterinary surgeons perform. It is the most common emergency surgery that most veterinary surgeons perform. The focus of this article is on tips and tricks that can help you perform gastrointestinal surgery; it assumes knowledge of indications as well as how to perform basic procedures. A routine abdominal exploration is the foundation of gastrointestinal surgery; the novice surgeon should identify all lesions present in the abdomen then prioritise them in order of importance and degree of complexity. This practice will allow the surgeon to perform the most important surgical procedures first and minimise unnecessary procedures.
Fractures of the scapula
Authors: Perry Karen L , Woods Samantha
Published: May 2017

Although scapular fractures only occur infrequently, the anatomical location of the scapula means that it is critical for thoracic limb function, therefore appropriate treatment is essential in maintaining limb function. The scapula has a substantial protective soft tissue envelope and considerable trauma is required to fracture it; consequently a high proportion of patients suffer concurrent injuries that may take precedence for management on initial presentation. Scapular fractures are generally classified as stable extra-articular, unstable extra-articular and intra-articular, with surgical treatment being advised for the latter two categories. Cases for which conservative management is appropriate carry an excellent prognosis, as healing generally occurs quickly and shoulder function is often restored even in cases of malunion. Open reduction and internal fixation is employed for some scapular body and spine fractures, fractures of the acromion, most fractures of the scapular neck, fractures of the supraglenoid tuberosity and fractures of the glenoid. The prognosis following scapular body fracture repair is generally excellent, the prognosis for scapular neck fractures is good to excellent, while the prognosis for articular fractures may be poorer, with the majority of dogs regaining function but with a persistent lameness associated. Salvage options are rarely required following scapular fracture, but include shoulder arthrodesis, excision arthroplasty and partial scapulectomy.

Redesigning the Concept of Money: A Service Design Perspective on Complementary Currency Systems
Authors: Telalbasic Ida
Published: May 2017

The current failures in income distribution among communities, social entrepreneurs and start-up founders result from deficit of money for accessing goods and services. However, it is increasingly recognized that money has the potential to be redesigned in order to serve a different purpose and to adapt to the emerging paradigm of the collaborative economy. Within this context, this article presents a study aimed to explore complementary currency systems as resilient strategies. This is done by adopting a service design perspective to analyse case studies from developing and developed economies. Both contexts are investigated in order to identify whether the case studies are founded by individuals, communities or governments. Furthermore, organizational models, as well as the main motivations and conditions for the emergence of these alternative economic models, are examined. Moreover, the key drivers for creating complementary currency systems are highlighted. For instance, in the developing world, those systems stem from the need for establishing financial inclusion and building stronger trust and community ties. Instead, in developed economies, they rise in order to use existing local resources, foster individual empowerment, enhance collaboration with a community, as well as achieve economic benefit. Complementary currency systems are here proposed as a tool for linking unmet needs with unused resources. They also enable informal financial institutions contributing to behavioural change through meritocracy. Once those systems are designed as small-scale initiatives, prototyped and implemented in different communities, they have the potential to become effective strategies for subversion and intervention. The case studies show that equal participation and local empowerment can lead to proactive democratic models increasing economic stability. In conclusion, this article argues that service design, through systems of permanent or temporary access to credit, not only responds to contemporary socio-economic conditions, but also contributes to shape new ways of practicing democratized economics.
Design-Intensive Start-Ups: A New Application Field for Design Thinking?
Authors: Cautela Cabirio , Rampino Lucia , Colombo Sara , Simonelli Giuliano
Published: May 2017

This article analyses a new phenomenon that has until now been poorly researched both in entrepreneurial and design-related literature, namely start-ups that focus on design as the primary source for their development (i.e. design-intensive start-ups, or DIS).

Two main questions underpin the study, which is explorative in nature. Firstly, how do DIS differ from new technology start-ups (NTS) in terms of critical dimensions for development? Secondly, do DIS use design in a specific way?

A multiple case study protocol was adopted to investigate these two questions. Results show that DIS not only differ from NTS with respect to several core dimensions, but they also differ in terms of overall new venture creation logic. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings for design thinking studies are discussed.
Sacred Service: The Use of ‘Sacred Theory’ in Service Design
Authors: Matthews Ted
Published: May 2017

Whilst attention has been given to the sacred in consumer behaviour, often highlighting its potential for meaningful experiences and customer loyalty, little research has been undertaken which investigates how such experiences might be designed for.

This article describes a new service design approach that marries material from sacred theory and the tools of service design with the aim of designing for sacred service experiences.

The method was developed through a research by design approach during three service design projects.

Although not fully implemented and limited to a Norwegian context, the solutions show innovation in process and outcome, particularly when it comes to designing for meaningful experiences, incorporating central elements of the sacred experience. It can be concluded that the method operationalizes the sacred and was considered a useful and usable addition to existing service design approaches.

The method is one of the first approaches that specifically incorporate cultural material into the service design process, raising the importance of meaning and values alongside that of the functional. It shows that service designers can act as cultural intermediaries and that service design lacks a cultural orientation in its existing practice. Based upon this, the article encourages the rethinking of several service design terms and suggests how the approach that has been developed could form part of a ‘semantic turn’ in service design.

The article contributes to the research and practice in service design by introducing an approach for the design for sacred experiences and for incorporating cultural influences into service design. Further, it introduces cultural theory in the form of sacred theory as material for service design and establishes a discourse regarding the service designer as cultural intermediary. It introduces a discussion about exploring culture as a design material in service design.

‘Pas d’hospitalité’: Derrida and the study of hospitality in higher education
Authors: Hemmington Nigel , Gibbons Andrew
Published: May 2017

This article explores Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction of hospitality within the context of the study of hospitality in higher education. The contribution of Derrida’s work is discussed, and then Derrida’s thoughts on the possibility of hospitality are explored in relation to hospitality education. The implications of absolute (unconditional) hospitality, reciprocity, generosity, transactions and the Internet are then explored within the context of Derrida’s thinking, particularly his possible–impossible aporia. This conceptual approach is presented in an anticipation that these ideas will create astonishment that will stimulate new and different approaches to thinking about hospitality, and will in turn have implications for hospitality education and the hospitality industry.
Missing voices: Australian children’s insights and perceptions of family holidays
Authors: Hay Brian
Published: May 2017

Through 26 face-to-face parental supervised discussions with children (9–14 years of age) at various 4/5 star hotels in Australia from 2009–14, four themes were explored: food and family dining; privacy and personal space; fun and enjoyment; socialization. The results suggest that children expect the same quality of services/facilities in hotels as they have at home, and while they recognized that some services/facilities are designed for and are more suitable for adults, they nevertheless expect equal access to services/facilities. In addition, the children also recognized that family holidays provided an opportunity to connect through shared social experiences, with their siblings and parents, but also with children from outside the family group. The key insights were: first, we may have underestimated the importance of family holidays in providing a safe space for children to raise challenging family issues not normally discussed at home. Second, we may have undervalued the role that hotel staff and children from outside the family can play in strengthening the socialization aspects of the family holiday. Third, we may have failed to recognize there are not two separate worlds in the provision of hotel services: a children’s world and an adult world. As children grow older they expect fluidity in the provision of hotel services, as they increasingly move between their child world and the adult world.
Hospitality: Ideologies, characteristics and conditionality in Theravada Buddhism and Western philosophy
Authors: Munasinghe Sarath , Hemmington Nigel , Schänzel Heike , Poulston Jill , Fernando Thakshala
Published: May 2017

Hospitality is central to the social fabric of many societies, however, the term has contested meanings and is discussed and interpreted differently in different discourses. After exploring the concept of hospitality, this review analyses the meanings and ideologies of hospitality in Theravada Buddhism and Western philosophy. It acknowledges the dominant view of hospitality that is largely grounded in Western philosophical traditions, where key concepts include understandings of hospitality in relation to God, conditional and unconditional hospitality, and universal hospitality. However, in Buddhism, hospitality is seen as a part of da-na – ‘generous giving’ – the first step in breaking attachment to desire, and a fundamental virtue of the spiritual life. This review of conceptualizations of hospitality in Western and Eastern contexts surrenders both similarities and differences, and although the concepts of host, guest and hospitality are similar, Theravada Buddhism provides new insights into the nature of reciprocity and conditionality, with consequent implications for Western understandings of hospitality.
Too close to servility? Why is hospitality in New Zealand still a ‘Cinderella’ industry?
Authors: Williamson David
Published: May 2017

Something strange is going on in New Zealand’s hospitality industry. While the sector is booming (with tourism bringing in 34.7 billion dollars in 2016 and driving record growth in hospitality jobs and hotel building), New Zealanders seem to remain unconvinced about the legitimacy of hospitality as industry and as a career choice. At a time when there are thousands of new jobs being created in hospitality, why does it remain a ‘dummy subject’ in schools? Why do so many parents ‘get the hint’ and hope their kids do anything other than hospitality work? In the 1950s the New Zealand tourism sector was known as the ‘Cinderella of industries’, underfunded, of ‘doubtful value’ and home to poor quality jobs. This paper argues that the New Zealand hospitality is the modern Cinderella industry and is burdened by three historical legacies, which are affecting our ability to maximize the current opportunities in hospitality, and threaten a sustainable future for the sector: distrust, disdain and the legacy of neo-liberal reform.

The revolution in our pants: Hipsters, race and American fashion
Authors: Gilson Duane
Published: May 2017

This article explores the contemporary jogger pant by looking back to the mid-twentieth-century coding of hipness through material consumption, racial mastery and urbanity, primarily through Malcolm X’s musing on zoot suits, but also attending to adjacent literary texts: Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem ‘We Real Cool’ and Norman Mailer’s essay ‘The white negro: Superficial reflections on the hipster’. It finally returns to the present day to read the contemporary jogger alongside the midcentury zoot suit, gesturing to ways in which hipster appropriation is both problematic, because it assumes as authentic cultural products of whiteness that actually borrow from blackness, and full of potential, because in even quietly citing its borrowing of black and feminine forms, it may serve to destabilize white masculinity.
Young people’s experiences of fashion modelling: An exploratory phenomenological study
Authors: Carr Daniel J. , Mercer Jenny
Published: May 2017

Research into fashion modelling within the field of psychology remains sparse. Empirical studies do exist, but they are rare and exhibit a tendency to pathologize models, and provide only a superficial insight into this career. Little is known about who a fashion model really is; what a young person who models experiences in their careers; or how fashion models make sense of their role. With this in mind, the current study seeks to explore the lived experience of young people who are fashion models. Three participants offered experiential accounts of modelling in the fashion industry, and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) revealed superordinate themes: ‘Growth and Development’, ‘Changes in Self-Perception’ and ‘A Job? Or a Way of Life?’ Change was found to be an integral part of the participants’ experiences, which led to both positive and negative developmental outcomes, including a self-reported growth in confidence and maturity, yet a potentially more self-critical view of one’s appearance. The role seemed to be an all-encompassing lifestyle rather than a job, and it is argued that modelling at a young age may act as a catalyst for a transition into adulthood. This study is exploratory in nature but provides an initial insight into the experiences of fashion modelling. The discussion identifies ways in which cognate sub-disciplines of psychology may contribute to this area of research, thus developing and extending further the psychological literature base in the field of fashion studies.
Fashion watches: The emergence of accessory makers as intermediaries in the fashion system
Authors: Donzé Pierre-Yves
Published: May 2017

The objective of this article is to analyse the historical conditions of the emergence of accessory makers as intermediaries in the fashion system, with the example of the watch company Fossil Inc. More specifically, it sheds light on the twofold evolution of watchmaking (towards global value chains centred on Hong Kong) and of the fashion industries (towards the need to enlarge profits through accessorization), which has led to an increase of newcomers to these industries. This article approaches its investigation from the perspective of business history. The analysis of Fossil since 1984 is based on corporate annual reports and offers a survey of the organizational evolution of the watch and fashion industries, in order to shed light on the strategy and decision-making of this company. In the context of the discussion about the role of intermediaries in creating and legitimizing fashion, this contribution offers new evidence about understudied actors in the industry, i.e. accessory makers. It shows that firms like Fossil are not only passive suppliers of branded accessories, but also contribute to the growth of accessory sales – and consequently, to the strengthening of fashion brands.

Hepatitis B seroprotection in children aged 10-15 years after completion of basic hepatitis B immunizations
Authors: Rampengan Novie Homenta , Hadinegoro Sri Rezeki , Karyanti Mulya Rahma
Published: May 2017

Background The prevalence of hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection in Indonesia is high. The most effective way to control HBV infection is by hepatitis B (HB) immunization. Many studies reported that hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) seroprotection declines in children > 10 years of age. In addition many factors can influence anti-HBs titer.Objective To measure anti-HBs titer and evaluate possible factors associated with anti-HBs titer.Methods This cross sectional  study was conducted in children 10-15 years of age from ten schools at Tuminting District, Manado, North Sulawesi, from October to November 2014. All subjects had completed the hepatitis B immunization scheme. By stratified random sampling, 105 children were selected as subjects. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 22.Results. From 48 schools, we selected 10 schools from which to draw a total of 105 children, but only 23 (21.9%) children had detectable anti-HBs . Of all subjects, 76 (72.4%)  were female, 78 (74.3%)  had good nutritional status, and 98 (93.3%)  had birth weight ≥2,500 grams. Data from immunization record books showed that 26 (24.8%) subjects received the HB-1 vaccination at ≤7 days of age and 45 (42.9%) subjects had a ≥2 month interval between the HB-2 and HB-3 vaccinations. Multivariate analysis showed that administration of HB-1 at ≤7 days of age  and a ≥2 month interval between HB-2 and HB-3  had significant associations with anti-HB seroprotection in children.Conclusion A low proportion of subjects who had completed the hepatitis B immunization scheme had detectable anti-HBs titer (21.9%). Administration of HB-1 at ≤7 days of age and a ≥2-month interval between HB-2 and HB-3 vaccinations are important factors in anti-HB seroprotection in children aged 10-15 years.
Análise de radônio no solo para prospecção de água em aquíferos fraturados
Authors: Stefano Paulo Henrique Prado , Roisenberg Ari , Gallas José Domingos Faraco , Rocha Zildete
Published: May 2017

A prospecção de água subterrânea em aquíferos fraturados depende do adequado reconhecimento de lineamentos tectônicos, o que pode ser dificultado em áreas urbanas. Com base nesta condição, foi realizado um estudo com radônio contido nos gases dos solos em quatro localidades na região do Granito Santana e Granito Viamão, no Município de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. Complementarmente, foram realizados levantamentos geofísicos de eletrorresistividade com arranjo dipolo-dipolo com o objetivo de comparar os resultados com os de radônio. Nas quatro áreas de estudo observou-se uma boa correlação entre os dois métodos. Nas regiões de baixa resistividade foram registradas anomalias positivas de radônio, atingindo valores de até 7 vezes o background na região (2.500 Bq/m3 em zonas não fraturadas) para valores de 21.157 Bq/m3 nas áreas onde ocorrem os fraturamentos.
ANALYSIS OF FACTORS CAUSING WATER DAMAGE TO LOESS DOUBLE-ARCHED TUNNEL BASED ON TFN-AHP
Authors: Zheng-jun Mao , Jia Zhang , Xiao-hui Xue , Hong-Peng Lai , Zhi-qiang Cui , Yu-xiao Tian
Published: May 2017

In order to analysis the factors causing water damage to loess double-arched tunnel, this paper conducts field investigation on water damage to tunnels on Lishi-Jundu Expressway in Shanxi, China, confirms its development characteristics, builds an index system (covering 36 evaluation indexes for construction condition, design stage, construction stage, and operation stage) for the factors causing water damage to loess double-arched tunnel, applies TFN-AHP (triangular fuzzy number-analytic hierarchy process) in calculating the weight of indexes at different levels, and obtains the final sequence of weight of the factors causing water seepage to loess double-arched tunnel. It is found out that water damage to loess double-arched tunnel always develops in construction joints, expansion joints, settlement joints, and lining joints of tunnel and even around them; there is dotted water seepage, linear water seepage, and planar water seepage according to the trace and scope of water damage to tunnel lining. The result shows that water damage to loess double-arched tunnel mainly refers to linear water seepage, planar water seepage is also developed well, and partition and equipment box at the entrance and exit of tunnel are prone to water seepage; construction stage is crucial for controlling water damage to loess double-arched tunnel, atmospheric precipitation is the main water source, and the structure defect of double-arched tunnel increases the possibility of water seepage; the final sequence for weight of various factors is similar to the actual result.
Currículo, normatividade e políticas de reconhecimento a partir trajetórias escolares de “meninos gays”
Authors: Ranniery Thiago
Published: May 2017

Este artigo explora as relações imbricadas entre normatividade e políticas reconhecimento operadas por discursos curriculares a partir trajetórias escolares de três “meninos gays”, nomeados, aqui, de Mitchel, Jonas e Álvaro. Inspirado em linhas de forças do trabalho de Judith Butler, o argumento desenvolvido indica a possibilidade de um deslocamento da crítica que descreve o currículo como um horizonte homogêneo de normatividade e aponta para como as escolas podem compor uma vida vivível. Para tanto, o texto acompanha como a luta por inteligibilidade para “meninos gays” ocorre no interior das normas heterogêneas de gênero e de sexualidade. Como corolário, essas normas permitem driblar o campo da abjeção e criam um deslocamento da experiência da homossexualidade do campo do desejo para inscrevê-la como uma corporalidade generificada nomeada de “gay”. Essas mesmas formas corporais de circulação do reconhecimento nos currículos inscrevem, assim, a partir da ambivalência e da heterogeneidade da normatividade, a viabilidade dessas trajetórias escolares. Portanto, se currículos se constituem num instrumento de sujeição, também podem funcionar como uma rede de relações na qual a inteligibilidade se produz, contribuindo para que “meninos gays” possam interagir com as condições históricas do presente.
Ionizing Radiation Sensitizes Leukemic MOLT-4 Cells to TRAIL-induced Apoptosis
Authors: Řezáčová Martina , Vávrová Jiřina , Vokurková Doris
Published: May 2017

One of perspective approaches in treatment of hematological malignancies is activation of death receptors for TRAIL. However, leukemia cells studied to date have shown variable susceptibility to TRAIL. Our study demonstrates that cells of acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia MOLT-4 are resistant to TRAIL and that ionizing radiation in the therapeutically achievable dose of 1 Gy sensitizes TRAIL-resistant cells MOLT-4 to the TRAIL-induced apoptosis by increase in death receptors for TRAIL DR5. When TRAIL is applied after the irradiation in the time of increased DR5 positivity more efficient cell killing is achieved.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. It is an immensely heterogeneous disease, characterised by a broad variety of clinical development. The research in recent years has focused on finding new markers of prognosis. This study investigates the role of expression of the bcl-2 protein in breast cancer. We analysed bcl-2 expression in 57 women with primary breast carcinoma who were treated with neoadjuvant (primary) chemotherapy, followed by a surgical procedure. The bcl-2 expression was correlated with other clinicopathological characteristics of the tumour – histological grade, stage, expression of hormonal receptors, proliferation rate, and with the survival of the patients. No significant association of bcl-2 expression with either overall survival or disease free survival was found.

The effect of unsubstituted deoxyhexoses, 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) and L-fucose, on tumor cells has been reported in several papers throughout the last decades. That of a similar deoxysugar, L-rhamnose, which is synthesized in bacteria and plants but not in animal cells, has until today not been explored. In the present study, we examined the effect of L-rhamnose on DNA and protein synthesis, growth and the potential induction of apoptosis of tumor cellsin vitro. Using 2-DG for comparison, we studied the effect of L-rhamnose in concentrations up to 20 (32 resp.) mmol/l on the initial velocity of the incorporation of labeled precursors of DNA and proteins in short term cultures of both mouse Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) and human HL-60 cellsin vitro, and further, on cell proliferation and apoptosis induction in HL-60 cells. Neither cytotoxic nor cytostatic effects of L-rhamnose were observed with the exception of slightly pronounced inhibition of DNA synthesis in EAT cells. From the lacking inhibition of the protein synthesis it can be considered that L-rhamnose does not interfere with energy metabolism, at least not in a similar manner as 2-DG.
Issues and Ethical Problems of Stem Cell Therapy – Where is Hippocrates?
Authors: Rousková Lucie , Hruška Ivan , Filip Stanislav
Published: May 2017

Stem cells and their therapeutic use present many questions associated with ethical problems in medicine. There is great effort on the part of physicians to help millions of patients while there are ethical problems with the use of new methods and technologies and all of these are affected by economic and political influences. How will the current generation deal with these problems? Medicine, in this begard, is experiencing a stormy evolution of human culture in the relationships between disease, patient and doctor. Philosophy approaches the same juncture of human culture, but seemingly from the other side. Both disciplines are facing a great problem: How to unite the content of current human morality and the desire for health? Both philosophers and physicians perceive this deficit in human culture as it does not provide immediately usable normatives, which the living generation of healthy and ill is waiting for. It may be said that medicine, as many times before, has reached a stage where it cannot rely only on the proved axiologic values from the past, ethical normatives or cultivated moral sense of its subjects. Medicine has no other alternative than to take an active part in resolution of interdisciplinary problems originating from philosophic-biologic or philosophic-medical inquiries of axiologic, ethical, and moral issues. Our paper indicates some ways of the search in forming ethical principles of the stem-cell therapy from the view of biologists and physicians. New ways are recommended in theoretical-methodological interdisciplinary research, especially, in theoretical and experimental biology, and theoretical and clinical medicine, as well as philosophy. In this paper important ethical problems are pointed out in order to find answers to some key problems connected with cell therapy and the use of stem cells.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of cisplatin dose upon 3-year overall and disease-free survival rate of patients with advanced cervical cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy with weekly cisplatin. Seventy-three patients with stage IIB – IVA cervical carcinoma were treated with pelvic (or pelvic + paraaortic) externalbeam radiotherapy, high-dose rate brachytherapy and concomitant chemotherapy with weekly cisplatin of 40 mg/m2in the time period form January 2000 to December 2006 at our department. The 3-year overall survival and disease-free suvival rates were evaluated with regard to the number of cisplatin cycles applied during the external radiotherapy. Only twentyeight patients received the intended five doses of chemotherapy. The most frequent cause of chemotherapy delay was the acute hematological toxicity with leukopenia. The 3-year overall survival was 71 % and the 3-year disease-free survival was 61 %. Survival analyses didn’t prove a statistically significant influence of cisplatin dose upon 3-year survival in cervical carcinoma patients treated by exclusive chemoradiation with weekly cisplatin.
Inferring Corporate Motives: How Deal Characteristics Shape Sponsorship Perceptions
Authors: Woisetschläger David M. , Backhaus Christof , Cornwell T. Bettina
Published: May 2017

Sponsoring joins brands with sports, the arts, and events in mutually beneficial partnerships. In the context of sports, the authors examine how sponsorship deal characteristics affect consumer inferences, attitudes, and behavioral intentions toward a sponsor and a sport property in a partnership. The authors develop a conceptual framework that links a holistic set of sponsorship deal characteristics (i.e., contract length, regional proximity of the sponsor, sponsorship fee, and sponsorship type) to individual consumer perceptions. Study 1 tests the framework in a field study of 2,787 consumers across 44 sponsorships. Study 2 largely confirms the findings of the field study in an experimental study. Overall, the results show that regionally proximate and long-term partnerships benefit as consumers make positive inferences about partnership fit and sponsor motives. In contrast, consumers associate high sponsorship fees, international sponsors, and naming-rights relationships with calculative motives and perceive these factors negatively. For managers, finding that sponsorship deal characteristics matter is important not only for sponsor–property relationships but also for relationships between the sponsoring brands and consumers.
Sacralizing the Diaspora
Authors: Hoskins Janet Alison
Published: May 2017

Diasporas are experienced and theorized by those who move from one country to another, who may narrate their lives as ones of exile and separation, or alternatively as part of a divinely coordinated plan for exodus. The perspectives of the modernist and syncretistic religion of Caodaism stress the trauma of colonial conquest, and incorporate many new external elements into a constantly expanding cosmopolitan cosmology, while followers of the spirit possession practices of Đạo Mẫu instead look back at the grandeur of the imperial past, taking the “originalist” stance that the most ancient practice has the most authority. I argue that new rituals and new gender configurations emerge to “sacralize the diaspora,” to craft different interpretations of religious symbolism, and to provide an innovative response to displacement.
Ancient India and Inclusive Education

Published: May 2017

Ancient India thus remains a flexible and still fully unexplored terrain that cannot be simplistically branded as rigid and casteist or apathetic to women when it comes to equality in education and inclusion in society. Again various evidence shows that it would be wrong to assume that ancient Indic traditions were outright supporter of women’s education and holistic inclusion. The culture in ancient India and the evolving trends were volatile and chequered and calls for more intensive and extensive studies. This paper aims at exploring the ambiguous developments related to the education of the so called lower castes and how the age old theory of a rigid caste system and rigid norms against inclusion of women in India, that gave rise to social exclusion is practically not absolute and remains a grey zone to be brought under the scanner. In fact this paper attempts to bring to the forefront the instances that reveal that ancient India was more inclusive in philosophy and practice than its western counterparts.

Introduction: Asphyxia is one of the important cause of infants' mortality. Accurate and early diagnosis of asphyxia has an important role in performing appropriate protective treatment protocole; therefore, we compared the diagnostic value of two methods of Prooxidant-Antioxidant Balance (PAB) and Heat shock proteins 70 ( HSP70) among  healthy term infants and Neonates with asphyxia.

Methods: In this prospective case-control study, we compared the diagnostic value of two methods of  PAB and HSP70 in healthy term infants (N=38) and Neonates with asphyxia (N=30) in Mashhad Ghaem hospital from 2011 to 2015. The diagnostic value of HSP70 and PAB was compared with statistical tests of Chi-square, T-Test, Man-Whitney, Roc curve and regression models.

Results: The newborns in two groups were significantly different in terms of the first (P=0.000) and fifth minute Apgar score (P=0.000), HSP70 (P=0.000), PAB (P=0.000), PH (P=0.000), BE (P=0.000) and HCO3 (P=0.015). HSP>0.218 ng / dl has 60% sensitivity and 76% specificity for the diagnosis of asphyxia while PAB>11.3 HK has 84% sensitivity and 92% specificity for the diagnosis of asphyxia.

Conclusion: According to the results of this study, HSP70>0.22 ng/dl and PAB>11.3 HK Unite can be used as biochemical markers for the diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia (P=0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of PAB in the diagnosis of asphyxia is higher than HSP70 and Simultaneous measurement of these two markers can correctly diagnose 84% of asphyxia cases.
