Published: May 2017

Se realizaron colectas quincenales en época de vaciante durante los meses de agosto y diciembre del 2011, en siete estaciones de muestreo de la zona baja del río Orosa (afluente del río Amazonas). La pesca se llevó a cabo con redes de arrastre (malla 5 mm) y redes trampa con 12 horas de exposición y revisión cada seis horas en las jornadas de pesca nocturna. Cada estación fue georeferenciada, se registraron sus parámetros limnológicos (temperatura, conductividad, TDS, y pH), y se analizó la diversidad específica del área mediante los índices de dominancia de Simpson, homogeneidad Shannon, similaridad de Bray-Curtis y diversidad verdadera de Jost. Durante el periodo de estudio, se colectaron un total de 7,112 individuos, pertenecientes a 10 órdenes, 31 familias, 129 géneros y 191 especies. Los Characiformes y Siluriformes fueron los grupos más abundantes (80 y 75 especies respectivamente). A pesar de que la mayor riqueza de especies y abundancia de especímenes fue encontrada en el cauce principal del río (125 especies y 3.509 individuos) y en la cocha Mayouruna (108 especies y 3,009 individuos); los mayores índices de diversidad se registraron en las estaciones Tunchi caño y Yanashi caño (31.5 y 31.8 especies efectivas). Los valores de diversidad encontrados fueron mayores o iguales a los reportados para otras regiones de la Amazonía, lo que muestra que esta zona del río Orosa tiene una íctiofauna muy diversa, conformada por especies de importancia económica, tanto para el consumo humano como para el mercado ornamental

Published: May 2017

Atualmente existe um direcionamento global ao conceito de universidades como protagonistas de produção do conhecimento e geradoras de inovações tecnológicas. O objetivo desse trabalho foi entender como empresas incubadas em Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) se apropriam do conhecimento gerado e difundido na Universidade e aplicam em seus negócios. A metodologia utilizada foi um estudo de caso em quatro empresas de base tecnológicas incubadas em duas IES. Verificou-se que o marketing institucional dentro da IES para os conhecimentos gerados ainda é muito imaturo. Não se verificou investimentos em marketing para os projetos desenvolvidos pelas empresas incubadas. Em relação à apropriação da inovação esse conceito está muito imaturo dentro da cultura da universidade. Não se notou uma grande preocupação com a proteção dos ativos intelectuais por alguns motivos, entre eles: excesso de burocracia para utilização desses mecanismos, por acreditar que outros mecanismos de proteção técnica possam ser mais úteis ao empreendimento e por acreditar que se tratando de um ambiente de alta tecnologia, essas não necessitariam de proteção por se modificarem rapidamente nesse ambiente dinâmico.

Published: May 2017

This study aimed to determine the frequency of B. pertussis infection among Turkish children with prolonged cough. Nasopharyngeal specimens were collected from 7-18 year old children, presenting with prolonged cough of two to four weeks' duration. Specimens were examined for B. pertussis by PCR. Of 101 children with prolonged cough, 20 (19.8%) had a positive PCR testing for B. pertussis. Children who were vaccinated ≥5 years previously had a 6.13-fold higher risk of PCR-confirmed pertussis than those who were vaccinated < 5 years before. The classic symptoms of pertussis (paroxysmal cough, whooping and post-tussive vomiting) were seen in 30%, 15% and 25% of the patients with positive PCR, respectively; 55% of them had only a prolonged cough without any classic symptoms. Pertussis is common among Turkish children with prolonged cough, even after implementation of a fifth dose of pertussis vaccination and despite high vaccination coverage.

Published: May 2017

Kabuki syndrome is a rare multiple congenital anomaly disorder. Although mental retardation is one of the main features, various neurological symptoms such as hypotonia and seizures can occur. Here we report on a 18-year-old Turkish male patient who was diagnosed previously as Kabuki syndrome. Molecular genetic analysis showed a novel de novo heterozygous mutation (c.12964C > T [p.Gln4322*] ) in the MLL2 gene, that leads to the synthesis of a truncated protein. The aim of the present report is to increase the awareness of Kabuki Syndrome among adult neurologists and to present a previously unreported non-sense mutation in the MLL2 gene.

The aim of this study is to evaluate parotid masses management in pediatric population. From June 2002 to December 2014, 13 patients under the age of 18 with parotid tumors were treated via surgery at Hacettepe University Department of Otorhinolaryngology. Information on patients' demographics, clinical and histopathologic tumor characteristics and treatment modalities with results was obtained from medical records, retrospectively. The age was ranging between 8-17 years. Ten (76.9%) patients had benign tumors and 8 (61.5%) of them were pleomorphic adenoma. One case had chronic sialadenitis with sialolithiasis and one patient had fluoride follicular hyperplasia. Three patients had malignant tumors; two of them were adenoid cystic carcinoma and one case of malignant melanoma metastasis. Twelve cases had undergone partial parotidectomy. Only one total parotidectomy was performed which was the patient with malignant melanoma. None of the patients had major complications or facial nerve palsy. During the 3 years follow up period, recurrence or Frey syndrome had not been detected but the case with malignant melanoma had distant metastasis during the follow up time. Although pediatric parotid masses are unusual, they can represent a variety of pathological diagnoses, including malignancy. Parotidectomy remains the mainstay of treatment and surgical experience is needed for low complication rates especially in children.

Gastrointestinal tract is one of the major systems affected by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Injury to the gut during conditioning therapy before stem-cell transplantation (SCT) plays a pivotal role in the initiation of inflammatory stimuli. We reviewed medical records of the patients who underwent SCT between April 2010 and June 2013 in our center. A stepwise upgrade diet was given to the children with acute GI-GVHD (Gastrointestinal GVHD) including parenteral and enteral nutrition. A total of 105 patients underwent SCT and seven patients developed grade III-IV acute GI-GVHD. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) was initiated to all patients after the diagnosis of GI-GVHD and minimal enteral nutrition (1-2 ml/kg/day standard pediatric enteral formula/special meat soup) was given to the patients. GI-GVHD improved in all patients with no change in body weight, and recovery to a normal diet took 10-30 days. Stepwise diet management of oral nutrition contributed to rapid improvement of grades III-IV acute GI-GVHD.

Published: May 2017

The association between pediatric celiac disease (CD) and atherosclerosis is unknown. Our aim was to investigate whether pediatric CD patients have an increased risk of atherosclerosis. We evaluated the premature atherosclerosis by pulse wave velocity (PWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT). A total of 37 CD patients (20 girls, mean age 13±3.3 years) and 36 healthy age and sex matched controls were enrolled. Mean duration of CD was 47.1±32.3 months and 40.5% of patients had positive tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTg) IgA. Total cholesterol level was lower in CD (p=0.026) and cIMT was lower in tTg IgA antibody negative CD (p=0.030). cIMT was significantly correlated with tTg IgA antibody positivity (r=0.336; p=0.042). Adherence to strict gluten-free diet is associated with decreased cIMT, suggesting that gluten withdrawal seems to have a beneficial effect on premature atherosclerosis.

Published: May 2017

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the case files of patients operated on for adnexal pathology between January 2004 and December 2015 at our institution. The data of the patients with a diagnosis of paratubal cysts (PTCs) was extracted. A total of eighty-seven children were operated on for adnexal pathology. Twenty-six (29.9%) patients had PTCs. The patients were predominantly grouped as adolescents (n=22) and newborns (n=3). One of the patients was a pre-pubertal girl. Of the 26 PTC cases, 18 of them occurred on the contralateral side to ovarian pathology (OP) or physiologic ovarian changes (POC) such as corpus luteum cyst or follicular cyst which their final diagnosis confirmed by histopathology examination; in one case, the PTCs were bilateral; and in three cases, PTCs were ipsilateral with OP or POC. There were only 4 solitary PTC cases identified among the 26 cases. Paratubal cysts can be observed at every age, even in newborns. Their association with OP or POC in childhood cases needs to be clarified to further understand the hormonal mechanisms that are influencing the occurrence of these cysts.

Published: May 2017

The main aim of this study was to investigate the gender differences in defense mechanisms, ways of coping with stress and identity formation in relation to adolescent suicidal behavior. This study involved 64 adolescents between 12-17 years of age, who were admitted to the emergency service with a suicide attempt. They were evaluated with a semi-structured clinical interview (K-SADS), Ways of Coping Inventory (WCI), Defense Mechanisms Inventory (DMI) and Sense of Identity Assessment Form (SIAF). 60.9% (n = 39) of the adolescents were female, and 39.1% (n=25) were male. There were no statistically significant differences between the girls and the boys with respect to the clinical characteristics of the suicide attempt and the rate of psychiatric disorders. Of the 64 adolescents with suicide attempt, 47 (73.4%) had at least one, and 26 (40.6%) had more than one psychiatric disorder according to K-SADS. Disruptive behavior disorders were more frequent in males, whereas depression was more frequent in girls. The data indicated the importance of identity confusion, major depression and ADHD in adolescents with suicide attempt in both genders. 43.6% (n=17) of the girls and 36% (n=9) of the boys obtained scores higher than the cut-off point of SIAF indicating identity confusion. Professional help seeking and NSSI behaviors before the suicide attempt were more common in adolescents with identity confusion. While there were differences between genders with respect to the defense mechanisms used, no significant difference was found in terms of ways of coping. Evaluation of DMI scores revealed that the turning against object subscale score was significantly higher in boys compared to girls. While evaluating the adolescents at risk, their defense mechanisms, way of coping and sense of identity, as well as their psychiatric diagnosis should be assessed in detail in order to identify the suicidal thoughts and prevent possible suicide attempts.

Published: May 2017

The aim of the study was to assess potential changes in structural integrity of the brain in adolescent patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) using the magnetization transfer imaging technique and re-evaluating after nutritional rehabilitation was accomplished. Magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) was used for the detection and quantification of histological changes to the white matter of 9 adolescents diagnosed with AN at diagnosis and after weight gain. Using the MTR technique 6 regions were measured: the pons, left cerebellar hemisphere, amygdala, thalamus, corona radiata and white matter adjacent to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Scans from the patients with AN were also compared with scans from an age-matched subset of 9 healthy controls. Compared with control subjects, the MTR of participants with AN was no different either at the early stages of diagnosis (p=0.62) or after weight recovery (p=0.81). Similarly, comparison of MTR between patients with AN at diagnoses compared with MTR after weight recovery yielded no statistically significant difference (P=0.33). We conclude that MTR was not able to detect any neuropathological alterations in adolescent patients with AN at either diagnosis or after nutritional recovery and the achievement of weight gain.

Published: May 2017

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system, that predominantly affects the spinal cord and the optic nerve. Its key features include transverse myelitis, commonly associated with extensive inflammation spanning three or more consecutive vertebral segments. Longitudinal extensive spinal cord lesions can also occur in systemic autoimmune diseases, infections, vascular and metabolic disorders, subsequent to irradiation, intramedullary tumors and paraneoplastic myelopathies. We present a case study of an 8-year-old girl seropositive for antibodies against the aquaporin 4 who displayed longitudinal extensive spinal cord lesions, that was initially misdiagnosed as an intramedullary tumor.

This study aims to evaluate Helicobacter pylori with clarithromycin resistant genotypes in Manisa region, Turkey. Two hundred patients, who received diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection histopathologically, were included. The sex, age and endoscopy indications of the patients were recorded. Polymerase chain reaction method was applied to determine the clarithromycin resistance rate and resistance genotypes at the histologic sections prepared from gastric biopsies that had been embedded in paraffin after fixation by formalin. Helicobacter pylori resistance to clarithromycin was found in 19/200 (9.5%) patients. 10/19 (52.6%) of these clarithromycin-resistant patients had A2143G mutation and 9/19 (47.4%) had A2142G mutation. A2142C mutation on 23S rRNA gene was not detected for any of the patients. Clarithromycin can be used as a first step treatment in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori for the children in our region; if the treatment fails for some patients, clarithromycin resistance, especially A2143G and A2142G mutations should be considered.

Published: May 2017

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been reported to occur concurrently in some cases. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies, which have been reported to have diagnostic value for RA, in children with type 1 DM. The study included 90 children with type 1 DM (Group 1) and 76 control cases (Group 2). The rates of reported family histories of RA and rheumatoid factor positivity did not differ between groups. In group 1, one case (1.1%) was positive for anti-CCP antibodies, whereas none of the controls were positive. The anti-CCP positive patient had no relevant joint complaints. Anti-CCP antibodies were rarely found in cases of pediatric type 1 DM. Thus, relevant screening in the follow-up of pediatric patients does not appear to be rational in the absence of any signs or symptoms of arthritis. The single case exhibiting a high anti-CCP level needs to be followed up for RA, although this positive result might be nonspecific and transient.

Decision making to transfer a late preterm or term neonate with the diagnosis of transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) to an intensive care unit for respiratory support is a challenge for caregivers in level one and two NICUs. The aim of this study was to identify "practical bedside clinical clues" that may help to predict the severity of disease and need for respiratory support in patients with the diagnosis of TTN. Newborns having the diagnosis of TTN were classified into two groups according to the intensity of the respiratory support. Infants receiving only supplemental oxygen and infants requiring nasal continuous positive airway pressure or mechanical ventilation constituted group 1 (mild) and group 2 (severe), respectively. Demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics were compared between the two groups. Patients in group 2 had lower gestational age, higher Silverman and Richardson scores, longer mean duration of oxygen support and hospitalization. A positive correlation was found between subcostal and xiphoid retractions, asynchrony in chest-abdomen movements, arterial pH < 7.30, ratio of PaO < sub > 2 < /sub > / % inspired O < sub > 2 < /sub > < 1.2 and need of respiratory support (p < 0.05). We suggest that simple scores can help physicians to get a good sense of a given baby's likelihood of deterioration.

Thymus gland involvement in Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is usually part of multi-system disease and may be more common than previously recognized. However, thymic involvement causing an anterior mediastinal mass is an extremely rare presentation of multisystem LCH. Here we report a 2-month-old-boy admitted to hospital with a giant anterior mediastinal mass with multisystem LCH involving the thymus, lungs, liver and skin. The differential diagnosis of mediastinal mass in children should also include LCH, especially multisystem disease. LCH should also be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions in infants, even if spontaneous regression occurs.

Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is the most common pediatric autoimmune endocrine disorder. It results in autoimmune-mediated thyroid gland destruction and is an organ-specific, typical autoimmune disease. The presence of antithyroid antibodies and the typical pattern on ultrasonography indicate the diagnosis. It is also frequently seen together with other autoimmune disorders including type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes, celiac disease, alopecia and vitiligo. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic type of liver injury with an immune etiology that can frequently cause end-stage liver disease if left untreated. Autoimmune hepatitis patients may present with hepatitis, and the laboratory tests in the absence of other etiology usually reveal a positive immune serology together with elevated immunoglobulins and abnormal liver histology. It is interesting that HT and AIH are rarely seen together although both have an autoimmune etiology. 14-year-old male who was being followed-up for vitiligo presented with symptoms of a swelling at the neck and fatigue. He was diagnosed with HT after the tests and the liver enzymes were found to be high. The patient was also diagnosed with AIH after tests revealed that the liver enzyme elevation had continued for longer than six months. The thyroid functions and liver enzymes returned to normal and the symptoms decreased after sodium L-thyroxine replacement together with steroid and azathioprine treatment. We present this case as we believe it is the first pediatric patient diagnosed with HT, AIH and vitiligo.

El programa de asignación tributaria del 0,52% de la cuota íntegra del Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Físicas (IRPF en adelante) desde su inicio jurídico con la Ley de Presupuestos Generales del Estado 33/1987 y su puesta en práctica en la convocatoria del IRPF de 1989, sigue vigente en la actualidad y ha transcurrido en paralelo a la expansión de las entidades del Tercer Sector de acción social desde inicios de los años 90. El programa del 0,52 (0,7% desde convocatoria 2009) con sus más de 20 años de funcionamiento y su singularidad como programa público de ámbito nacional además de fortalecer el Tercer Sector de Acción Social y las sinergias entre el sector público y el sector social ha contribuido al desarrollo de las entidades sociales especialmente en su vertiente más prestacional. Para reflejar tal desarrollo empezamos con una aproximación histórico-institucional del programa analizando los cambios más relevantes en sus principios básicos. Seguidamente analizamos la evolución de entidades, programas e importes concedidos desde su creación. Finalmente, nos centramos en el impacto socioeconómico del programa del 0,52 en las entidades sociales sin olvidar las limitaciones de las que todavía adolece dicho programa.
Autoevaluación y políticas públicas: una experiencia en escuelas primarias argentinas
Authors: Duro Elena , Nirenberg Olga
Published: May 2017

¿Es posible influir positivamente en la política pública mediante procedimientos de autoevaluación sobre la gestión de los establecimientos que brindan servicios públicos? Bajo la premisa de que la autoevaluación promueve “organizaciones inteligentes” (que aprenden y se transforman a partir de su propia práctica) tal camino resulta estratégico y posible, aunque no excluyente. En el presente artículo se relata la implementación de un Instrumento para la Autoevaluación de la Calidad Educativa (IACE) en escuelas primarias argentinas. Se consideró la autoevaluación como un complemento de las formas tradicionales de evaluación de la calidad educativa que se implementan desde los años 90 en los países de América Latina y Caribe. Esas evaluaciones de los sistemas educativos resultan necesarias pero no suficientes para elevar los niveles de aprendizaje de los estudiantes y las capacidades retentivas de las escuelas; su dirección es desde arriba hacia abajo tanto en su implementación como en las decisiones y en la formulación de políticas, mientras que la autoevaluación desarrollada va desde abajo hacia arriba: nace en las escuelas, detecta los problemas y promueve acciones de superación desde la óptica de los docentes, los directivos y los familiares de alumnos.

Authors: Fernández González Álvaro , Redondo Gil Carlos
Published: May 2017

Las administraciones públicas, en el cumplimiento de sus fines, han creado en las últimas décadas gran variedad de entidades (empresas, fundaciones, consorcios, etc.) para complementar o desarrollar, a través de organismos sujetos a su control –de forma plena– parte de sus políticas. En esta línea, destacamos que desde hace varios años se han analizado en la literatura los nuevos modelos de gestión en sectores como la sanidad o la educación; igualmente, destacamos que en una gran diversidad de políticas públicas se han ido creando entes instrumentales para el cumplimiento de los fines de los distintos niveles administrativos. En el presente artículo se examina, a través de un análisis comparativo, las distintas formas de entes instrumentales que crean las administraciones públicas para llevar a cabo las políticas de innovación, centrando el estudio en los centros de supercomputación y comparando entre este tipo de centros en España con los de otros países a través de las herramientas de benchmarking más utilizadas en esta materia.

PERIZINAN PENGGUNAAN TENAGA KERJA ASING DENGAN BERLAKUNYA MASYARAKAT EKONOMI ASEAN

AbstractIn early 2016 the ASEAN countries have officially implement the commitments which named the Asean Economic Community (AEC). The spirit of the stretcher is the spirit of ASEAN economic integration. In the MEA of skilled labor in the region is given the freedom to work anywhere in the ASEAN region. However, each country still has licensing restrictions. Law No. 13 of 2003 be the main pillars that govern the licensing of foreign workers, especially in Chapter VIII started to subsection 42 through subsection 49. That should be of concern is subsection 45 paragraph (1a) requires manpower Indonesian citizen who becomes the companion of foreign. The presence of foreign workers in the MEA era is no longer in the context of knowledge transfer and technology transfer, but TKA comes with the spirit of ASEAN economic integration. Or in other words the freedom to work wherever the foreign workers want to work. Employers of foreign workers required to implement the education and training for workers who become facilitators TKA. But employers are reluctant. Because, there are loopholes in our licensing that would allow foreign workers to work continuously in Indonesia. By regulation, of course, the implementation of the MEA are now in violation of the contents of Law 13/2003 on Manpower. Another major problem associated MEA is the readiness of Indonesian Labor competence and the availability of jobs for Indonesian workers. Keywords: Foreign Workers, AEC, Economic Integration AbstrakDi awal Tahun 2016 Negara-negara ASEAN sudah resmi melaksanakan komitmen bersama yang bernama Masyarakat Ekonomi Asean (MEA). Semangat yang di usung adalah semangat integrasi ekonomi ASEAN. Di dalam MEA tenaga kerja terampil yang ada di kawasan ini di berikan kebebasan untuk berkerja di mana saja di kawasan ASEAN. Namun masing-masing negara tetap memiliki batasan perizinan. UU Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 menjadi pilar utama yang mengatur perizinan TKA terutama di Bab VIII mulai Pasal 42 sampai dengan Pasal 49. Yang harus menjadi perhatian adalah Pasal 45 ayat (1a) yang mewajibkan adanya tenaga kerja warga negara Indonesia yang menjadi pendamping. Kehadiran TKA di era MEA ini tidak lagi dalam konteks alih pengetahuan (transfer of knowledge) dan alih tehnologi (transfer of technology), tetapi TKA hadir dengan dengan semangat integrasi ekonomi ASEAN. Atau dengan kata lain kebebasan bekerja dimanapun TKA tersebut ingin bekerja. Pengusaha pengguna TKA wajib melaksanakan pendidikan dan pelatihan bagi TKI yang menjadi tenaga pendamping TKA. Namun pengusaha seringkali enggan. Pasalnya, ada celah dalam perizinan kita yang menungkinkan TKA bisa bekerja terus di Indonesia. Secara regulasi, tentunya pelaksanaan MEA saat ini sudah melanggar isi UU 13/2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan. Masalah utama lain terkait MEA adalah kesiapan kompetensi Tenaga Kerja Indonesia dan ketersediaan lapangan kerja buat pekerja Indonesia. Kata Kunci: TKA, MEA, integrasi ekonomi

Body, Nature, Language: Artisans to Artists in the Commodification of Authenticity
Authors: Heller Monica , Pietikäinen Sari , Da Silva Emanuel
Published: May 2017

This article examines processes of authenticating and selling handicrafts at the conjuncture of cultural pride and economic profit in two peripheral sites (Finnish Sámiland and rural Québec), under shared conditions of late capitalism and globalising political economies. These conditions (re)structure traditionalist and modernist discourses about artisans' historical bodies, their connections to the local land (nature), and how they interactionally authenticate and sell their products through language. Under these conditions, the commodification of authenticity pushes artisans and handicrafts beyond being emblems of national belonging and collective tradition, and toward individualised, artistic commercial production with greater or lesser ties to post-national cosmopolitanism.
La durabilité de l'oudmourte en république d'Oudmourtie et dans la diaspora oudmourte : une réflexion comparative
Authors: Toulouze Eva
Published: May 2017

Malgré les mesures spécifiques prises dans la république éponyme, la connaissance de la langue oudmourte, d'après les derniers recensements, est en recul constant et ce recul est particulièrement sensible dans le dernier recensement, celui de 2010. D'autre part, dans la diaspora oudmourte du Bachkortostan du Nord (raïon de Tatyshly), la maîtrise et l'utilisation de l'oudmourte sont largement répandues. Nous allons comparer les deux réalités sociales et politiques et mettre en évidence les éléments qui permettent, au Bachkortostan, cette étonnante résilience. Cette analyse permettra peut-être de faire ressortir des moyens d'endiguer la baisse de la pratique de l'oudmourte en Oudmourtie même.
Christ Risen, Wonder Arising: A Christian Theology of Miracles
Authors: Fortin Jean-Pierre
Published: May 2017

This article argues that a theology of miracle lies at the heart of Christian faith, for Christianity stands or falls with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a miraculous event that breathes transcendent purpose into human existence. With the assistance of Karl Rahner, the resurrection of Jesus is shown to unlock the spiritual dimension of nature and the human person, revealing them to be creatures of God radically open to and animated by the powerful presence of the transcendent. Nature, life, and more particularly human freedom, as self-transcending finite realities and powers are manifestations of the existence and action of God and, precisely for this reason, miracles. With the help of Jürgen Moltmann, renewed access to God is then perceived to be manageable in the midst of historical absurdity, injustice, and suffering. In the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus, the conditions for authentic history and the promise of a real future are met and made. The resurrection of Jesus is the fount of unbreakable hope that, through the empowering experience of redemption, produces genuine change. Lastly, using resources from current exegetical scholarship, theology, and philosophy of religion, an attempt is made to lay foundations for a postmodern understanding of miracle by returning to the source and norm of Christian faith: Israel's experience of renewed life in, from, and for God, related in Scripture.
The End of the European Honeymoon?
Authors: Kattago Siobhan
Published: May 2017

With the rise of populism, European solidarity risks being eroded by a clash of solidarities based on nation and religion. Ranging from hospitality to hostility, ‘refugees welcome’ to ‘close the borders’, asylum seekers from Syria and other war-torn countries test the very ideas upon which the EU was founded: human rights, tolerance and the free movement of people. European solidarity is not only rooted in philosophical ideas of equality and freedom but also in the memory of nationalism, war and violence. The response to refugees seeking asylum into Europe cannot only be resolved by appealing to emotions, moral sentiments and a politics of pity. Disenchantment with government, fear of terrorism and resentment towards foreigners weaken European solidarity at a time when it is needed most.
It Was Not Meant to Be This Way
Authors: Frost Tom
Published: May 2017

In June 2016, the United Kingdom’s electorate voted in a referendum to leave the European Union. This article examines ‘Brexit’ from the perspective of British, or English, exceptionalism. It argues that the Leave vote was caused by a number of factors: underlying myths and exceptionalism about the U.K. and its relationship with ‘Europe’; the fallout from the 2007–2008 financial crisis; the austerity policies undertaken in the U.K. since 2010; and the increased migration into the U.K. after the financial crisis, in particular from other EU Member States. The article concludes by arguing that Brexit should serve as an important lesson to listen to all people who feel abandoned by the EU, austerity and globalisation, to hear their stories and perspectives. Only then can we start to think about whether there are shared values and principles which could form the basis for a European politics of the future.
