Biskupska i prezbiterska (ili svećenička?) služba u Svetom pismu
Authors: Maly Anđelo
Published: October 2018

It is quite difficult to speak about bishops and presbyters and their ministries in the Holy Scripture since biblical terminology explains their functions quite differently than they are known today. According to this, the author primarily emphasizes the terminology and some scriptural evidences of ministries in question. The author explains words such as presbyter, bishop (episkopos) and priest, showing first how the biblical word for presbyter (=elder) diverges from the biblical word priest (kōhēn; hiereus). Similarly, the biblical word episkopos (bishop) does not have the same modern meaning as it has today, where it means the third order of ordained minister, while in the Bible it means a supervisor or a protector of the community. It is possible to say, the author concludes, that the offices of bishop (episkopos) and presbyter (=elder) should be considered in the sense of duty, while the priest (kōhēn; hiereus) deals with sacred things. Furthermore, basing the evidence on biblical texts, the author gives some clarification about the development of the offices of priests, presbyters, and bishops, both in the Old and in the New Testament. The scriptural data reveals that these offices have emerged and evolved in response to a variety of needs and leadership in the community. In conclusion, the author asserts that it is quite difficult to establish a clear terminological and functional link between biblical terms and duties of priests-presbyters-bishops and their actual offices. At least, according to the Scripture, it could be said that a priest, priest-presbyter, or a bishop-presbyter should be considered as offices that tend more to sacred and spiritual things rather than temporal things. Their ministries (as known today) are mostly linked with successive theological reflections, when they became more ordered, uniformed, and regulated.

Authors: Takeda Ryuji , Kanesugi Norio , Kanesugi Michiyo , Ebihara Syukuko , Imai Shigeru
Published: September 2018

Background: Constipation and other symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort, such as abdominal swelling, are common among healthy individuals and have a significant impact on quality of life. Despite the known contribution of gut microbiomes to this pathology, little is known regarding which groups of microorganisms play a key role. Yeasts have been used for fermenting foods since ancient times. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a type of yeast used for industrial and pharmaceutical purposes in the genetic and medical fields because it is unicellular with a simple biological structure. Yeast also helps improve the intestinal environment. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of foods containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae on bowel movement and to validate the safety of its long-term usage. Stool frequency and consistency were also assessed.Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study. The test food contained S. cerevisiae NK-1 powder (1 × 1010 cells), whereas the placebo did not contain it. The food was made into sticks and provided to healthy individuals with infrequent bowel movements (3–5 movements a week), three times a day for 12 weeks. Then we investigated the changes in stool frequency, volume, and other adverse events. Results: The number of days with bowel movement significantly increased in the test group compared with the placebo group after 8–12 weeks of consuming the test food (p < 0.05). Based on the blood test results, there were no adverse events associated with the consumption of the test food observed.Conclusions: Consumption of the test food regulated intestinal function by promoting defecation in healthy individuals prone to constipation. Thus, S. cerevisiae NK-1 helps facilitate smoother defecation.Keywords: Saccharomyces cerevisiae NK-1, bowel movement, stool frequency volume, gastrointestinal discomfort

A different perspective to the tumor microenvironment in periampullary cancers: a neglected ring in tumorogenesis.
Authors: ZENGİN Mehmet
Published: October 2018

Aim: There is increasing evidence that, tumor microenvironment plays an important role in the initiation and progression of the tumor and is not only a passive observer. In this study the immunohistochemical staining pattern of the stromal cells in tumor microenvironment which is rarely discussed in the literature, has been demonstrated by considering p53 and HSF1 which are important molecular proteins in tumorogenesis.

Material and Method: Sixty-nine pancreaticoduodenectomy specimens that performed between 2000 and 2012 were re-evaluated in terms of HSF1/P53 expressions in tumor microenvironment and tumoral cells. The findings were statistically analyzed.

Results: In our study, there was a significant difference between tumoral microenvironment and tumoral cells in terms of HSF1 staining (p<0.05). For P53, this difference was observed in pancreatic carcinomas (p<0.05), whereas were not observed in ampullary region carcinomas (p>0.05).

Conclusions: Significant staining of two well-known immunomarkers, such as P53 and HSF1, in stromal cells has further increased the importance of tumor microenvironment in tumorogenesis.

Mafia und Politik in Italien
Authors: Uesseler Rolf
Published: October 2018

Mafia und Politik, das ist heute kein Problem von sporadischem oder wiederholtem »do ut des«, von Geben und Nehmen zwischen Kriminellen, die sich organisiert haben, und Parteipolitikern und Staatsbeamten. Es ist auch nicht das Problem der beständigen Konditionierung von und Druckausübung auf staatliche und gesellschaftliche Institutionen seitens der »Organisierten Kriminalität«. »Organisierte Kriminalität«/Mafia heute, das ist kein Krebsgeschwür, das sich in einem gesunden Körper ausbreitet und mit seinen Metastasen inzwischen auch die Politik erreicht hat. Mafia und Politik: Das ist heute zu einem »Modell« geworden, einem Modell, das sich in rascher Ausbreitung befindet. Dieses mafiose Kapitalismus-Modell beschränkt sich nicht auf Italien, sondern ist in allen Ländern der 1. Welt zu beobachten. Sein Erfolgsrezept heißt: Einreißen der Barrieren zwischen Legalität und fllegalität; und sein Ziel ist die formale Demokratie.

Ökologisch-ökonomische Verteilungskonflikte. Explorative Überlegungen zu einem vernachlässigten Forschungsgebiet
Authors: Beckenbacher Frank
Published: October 2018

Economic theories of allocation will fäil to be effective unless they are able to categorically include the ecological integration of economic activities. However, »environmental assets« are significant - both as free (common land) property and as annuity bringing in retums. This article is first of all an attempt at illustrating this within the frame of societes constituted as nation-states. lt then goes on to widen its focus to include the global dimensions within which the allocation of the rights of use to environmental assets ( e.g. the atmosphere's maximum limit of carbon dioxide pollution) has tobe viewed today. Dividing the world into groups of countries, however, shows how difficult it might be to come to an »allocative comprise« in this regard.
Nationalismus und Politik in Osteuropa
Authors: Gellner Ernest
Published: October 2018

Nach einem Phasenmodell interpretiert, ist die Entstehung der modernen Gesellschaft und des Industrialismus zugleich die Geburtsstunde des Nationalismus. In der Sowjetunion wurde diese Stufenfolge unterdrückt. Während in den fortgeschrittenen Industrie/ändern mitlerweile Anzeichen einer Überwindung des traditionellen Nationalismns und chauvinistischer Feindseeligkeiten auszumachen sind, spricht in Osteuopa vieles für einen »nachholenden Nationalismus«. Angesichts der ethnischen Heterogenität drohen hier langwierige und gewalttätige Konflikte.
Von der »Entzauberung des Staates« zur »Wiederkehr des Leviathan«?
Authors: Haferkamp Heinrich
Published: October 2018

Anthony Giddens hat eine bisher zu wenig beachtete Untersuchung der Thematik von Nationalstaat, Gewalt und internationalen Beziehungen gewidmet. Der Aufsatz stellt die zentralen Argumente dieser Analyse vor, die vor allem auf die Hervorbringung der Nation und die Integration der modernen Gesellschaft durch die administrative Macht des Nationalstaats zielen. Giddens Ansatz wiift allerdings auch Probleme auf: er beschränkt sich zu sehr auf die strukturellen Aspekte der Gesellschaftsanalyse und neigt dazu, »Gesellschaft« auf ein bloßes Interventionsfeld staatlicher Machtpraktiken zu reduzieren.
»Katastrophen«, »Chaos« und »Selbstorganisation«. Methodologie und sozialwissenschaftliche Heuristik der jüngeren Systemtheorie
Authors: Müller Klaus
Published: October 2018

Current Social Sciences rely more and more on models of »chaos« and »self-organization«. At a closer look, this is not a new paradigma but a loose collection of nature-philosophical and mathematical concepts of variable quality. Tue methodology and the sociological heuristics of these models can be determined precisely. Common feature is their difference to the classical theory of systems. Tue theories of autopoiesis, deterministic chaos and catastrophes consist of different concepts of stability. Interpreted sociologically, this results in different views on social order and in diverging theory-of-action-perspectives.
Vom Panarabismus zum islamistischen Fundamentalismus
Authors: Ibrahim Ferhard
Published: October 2018

The renaissance of Islamism is often interpreted as a counteraction against modernization pressures or as a reaction to western, »«orientalistic« stereotypes on Arabic societies. However, a differenciated analysis shows that fundamentalism was preceded by a failed 'Arabic Socialism' which benefitted the bureaucratical and military elites. Tue economic liberalization (»infitha«) that was initiated in the 70s demanded victims, from whose ranks fundamentalism recrutes its followers. Socialistic alternatives have been discredited by the tactical alliance between the Communist Parties and the old nationalistic parties.
Der Übergang vom Sozialismus zum Kapitalismus in der früheren Sowjetunion
Authors: Burawoy Michael , Krotov Pavel
Published: October 2018

Analyses of the transition from state socialism to capitalism typically focus on political impediments and underestimate the economic obstacles to economic transformation. Based on a case study of the Soviel wood industry, we argue that there will be no economic transition so long as enterprises retain two historic features, namely anarchy in production and bargainig in external relations. Far from constituting a revolution, the withering away of the party state has exeggerated the pathologies of the old economic order. Barter has become more important, conglomerates have strengthened their monopoly and workers have greater controll of the shop floor. If there is a movement toward a market economy at all, it is toward a form of merchant capitalism that deepens economic underdevelopment and thwarts the rise of modern bourgeois capitalism.

Published: October 2018

Einen wichtigen Zugang zum Verstehen der Sichtweisen und Verarbeitungsformen der Wende liefern das Alter und die Zugehörigkeit zu einem spezifischen Generationszusammenhang. Der Rückgriff auf die Konzeption von Lebensphasen und Generationen kann sowohl zur Klärung der Frage beitragen, wie es dazu kommt, daß bestimmte soziale Gruppen ähnliche Verhaltensweisen und Orientierungen herausbilden als auch dazu dienen, die Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Generationen genauer zu fassen. Der Beitrag vergegenwärtigt noch ein mal die Generationszusammenhänge und -konflikte in der DDR vor der Wende und verfolgt ihre Entwicklung nach dem gesellschaftlichen Umbruch. Dabei kann man neben nun deutlicher werdenden Differenzierungen auch eine ganze Reihe von ideologischen Überschneidungen und stillen Bündnissen zwischen den Generationen erkennen, die vor dem Systemzusammenbruch bestanden haben und auch jetzt als »sozialer Kitt« fungieren.

Application of the MQ RBF-FD method to calculating transient voltages of power transmission lines
Authors: Vu Anh Pham Lan , Le Viet Quoc , Vu Tu Phan
Published: October 2018

This paper presents an application of the Radial Basis Function – Based Finite Difference Method (RBF-FD) to solving the electrical transient problems defined by the time-dependent ordinary differential equations. In this method, the finite difference approximations of first- and second-order derivatives in time domain are formalated the same as those in space domain based on the MQ (Multiquadrics) function presented in [1]. The MQ RBF-FD method are for the sake of evaluating the accuracy, effectiveness and applicability used to compute the transient voltages on the benchmark circuit and 220 kV three-phase transmission line of Viet Nam. Our numerical results are compared with those obtained by the analytical method, the traditional FD method and ATP/EMTP software. The compared results have been shown that the MQ RBF-FD method has accuracy that is higher than ones of the traditional numerical methods, especially with the optimal shape parameter.

Authors: Luu Quang Huu Vinh
Published: October 2018

A new algorithm simulating the impacts of the VAR supporting devices such as the static var compensators (SVCs) and the synchronous condensers (SCs) under condition of symmetrical disturbances in multi-machine power system is mentioned. Some typical numerical examples are presented in this article.

The comparisons of variation of the state parameters, such as the voltage, frequency, reactive power outputs and asynchronous torques…are simulated under condition of the action of the automatic voltage regulation systems of generators and of the VAR supporting devices.

The transient energy margins are calculated and compared to assess the transient stability in multi-machine power system. Basing on this algorithm, the PC program uses the elements of the eigen-image matrix to bring the specific advantages for the simulation of the transient features of state variables.

Noble metal based catalysts being 0.8 wt.%Pd and 0.35 wt.%Pt supported on HZSM-5 zeolite were subjected to the investigation. Physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts were determined by the methods of nitrogen physi-sorption, SEM, XRD, TEM, NH3-TPD, TPR, and Hydrogen Pulse Chemi-sorption (HPC). Activity of catalysts in the isomerization of n-C6 and n-C5 + n-C6 mixture was studied in a micro-flow reactor in the temperature range of 225 − 325 oC at pressure of 0.1 MPa and 0.7 MPa; the molar ratio H2/ hydrocarbon: 5.92, concentration of n-C5 or n-C6: 4.6 mol.%, GHSV 2698 h-1. The stability of catalysts was also determined. The obtained catalysts expressed high acid density, good reducing property, and high metal dispersion with the cluster size in the range of nanometer. They were an excellent contact for isomerization of n-hexane or n-C5 + n-C6 mixture with high conversion, selectivity, and yield. At optimal temperature, n-paraffin conversions were as high as 57 – 63 % and selectivity was 90 %. Pressure had the positive effect to the catalyst conversion, selectivity, and stability. At 0.7 MPa, both catalysts produced 66- 69 RON liquid product containing friendly environmental iso-paraffins which is superior blending stock for green gasoline.

Total color and Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) in QTCE decreased more quickly than those in QTNM. Total color and Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) increased when enzyme concentration increased. We showed that there existed an empirical relation between ratio TF/TR and total color. The high TF: TR ratio reduced the total color and vice versa. The higher the TF:TR ratio was,the better the quality of Oolong tea was. This is a new direction in the research of applying enzyme in tea production in Vietnam

Balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq.) A. DC.), the only species in Platycodon genus (Campanulaceae), is mainly distributed in East Asia. The rhizomes of P. grandiflorum, a traditional herbal medicine, have been widely used for the treatment of cough, sore throat, asthma, tuberculosis and other diseases. Recently, pharmacological researches identified important biological activities compounds in the rhizomes. Thus, to study and extract valuable compounds, a hairy root induced technique was achieved on P. grandiflorum for stable material with fast growth rates (in hormone-free media) and metabolites production. To achieve this, the “natural genetic tool” Agrobacterium rhizogenes, which can transfer DNA segments into genome of plant, was exploited. The results suggested two (A. rhizogenes ATCC 15834 and C34) of four A. rhizogenes strains could induce hairy roots. RolB and rolC genes, which are responsible for the induction of hairy roots, were inserted into the genome of hairy roots. Leaves had the highest infection frequency of hairy root induction 100 %. The optimization of protocol, including time of immersion and co-culture, had the best results with 10 and 15 mins (10 mins for A. rhizogenes ATCC 15834 and 15 mins for A. rhizogenes C34) and 72 hours, respectively. In the future, this protocol, which was described in this paper, should be useful for studying and isolating valuable compounds from P. grandiflorum hairy root cultures.

Feeding the ever increasing population in a safe way has become a rising challenge because of reckless use of natural resources. Substitution of traditional farming system with cost effective integration of different production units has emerged as potential solution. In this regards, aquaponics has already put back the traditional farming systems in facing the burning issues of food safety. The experiment was designed to make a comparison of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) production between aquaponics (T1) and traditional soil growbeds (T2) in laboratory condition at the Aquaponics Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh. Each of the treatment has three replications that were placed randomly. A Seven hundred fifty liter water tank was set for fish rearing where 50 tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and 20 magur (Clarias batrachus) fry were released. Tilapia was fed with commercial floating feed while magur with sinking feed. Six (44×26×24 cm3) containers, three for each treatment, were used for lettuce sapling plantation. The fish waste water was irrigated into aquaponics beds and then returned to the fish tank as the thumb role of aquaponics. Fish, plants, water and soil quality parameters were sampled fortnightly, analyzed chemically in the aquaponic laboratory. The results revealed that the performance of T2was better than the T1 in terms of lettuce growth in respect of plant height, leaf number, plant and root weight. Lettuce production was comparatively higher in T2 (123.25 tons/ha/89 days), than T1 (107.89 tons/ha/89 days). This might be attributed to the higher nutrient content of the traditional soil (T2). At The end of the experiment, the survival rates were 96 and 80% for tilapia and magur respectively whereas the total productions were 47.33 and 4.19 tons/ha/105days respectively. Further research needed to ascertain the superiority of these systems in food production.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. June 2018, 4(2): 149-156

In this study, effects of age and breed on the trace elements content in different muscles (M. longissimus dorsi, M. longissimus thoracis, M. psoas major, M. intercostalis internus, M. semispinalis capitis, M. biceps femoris, M. biceps brachii) and edible offal (liver, kidney, heart) of cattle were investigated. Iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd)contents of muscles and edible offal were determined by inductively coupled plasma-optic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).According to the results obtained in this study, the content of Cu in M. longissimus dorsi of Eastern Anatolian Red (EAR) breed cattle was higher than Brown Swiss (BS) breed cattle, and the content of Cu in M. longissimus dorsi was statistically significant among the breeds (p<0.05). On the other hand, the highest Cu content in kidney and the highest Cd content in liver were observed the 4-year-old cattle, and the content of Cu in kidney and the content of Cd in the liver were statistically significant among the ages (p <0,05). Besides, the highest contents of Fe, Cu and Cd were found in the edible offal of EAR breed cattle aged 4 years. The mean values of the trace elements found in cattle muscles were ranked as Zn>Cu>Fe>Pb>Cd, whereas the mean values of the trace elements found in edible offal of cattle were ranked as Cu>Fe>Zn>Pb>Cd. Our results suggest that trace element content may vary in both muscles and offal depend on the breed and age of the cattle.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. June 2018, 4(2): 157-163

Published: September 2018

A total of eighty stool samples from forty street children living in Karwan Bazar, Tejgaon area were collected to study the prevalence of intestinal helminths during February 2017 to May 2017. The highest prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuiris trichiura was observed among the children aged 13-15 (70%) years old followed by the age group 7-9. Male children were more A. lumbricoides prevalent (53.57%) followed by T. trichiura (46.43%) than the female children (41.67%; for both the A. lumbricoides and T. trichiura). Except Enterobius vermicularis and hookworm, heavy infestation with other worms was reduced; esspecially A. lumbricoides (50% to 12.5%) and T. trichiura (45% to 15%), after administering Mebendazole (Vermox 500mg, single dose). Children who collected waste material from dustbin were highly helminth prevalent group (91.67%) followed by vegetable shop worker (66.67%). In February 2017, double infection showed the highest occurrence (32.5%). After administering single dose of mebendazole, in May 2017, single infection was at the peak (55%). With the initiation of broad-spectrum anthelminthic drugs that are low-priced, non-hazardous and simple to deliver, further control programs should include health education, public and good personal hygiene practices among the street children.Asian J.

Published: September 2018

The present study was undertaken to analyze the microbial quality of tap water samples obtained from different upazilla markets of Jamalpur, Tangail, Kishoreganj and Netrokona districts. For achieving the above mentioned objectives, 20 tap water samples were collected and the methods of heterotrophic plate count (HPC) and total coliform count (TCC) were applied. Moreover, isolated E. coli from tap water samples were characterized by using biochemical test, molecular method and antimicrobial susceptibility tests. HPC was highest in market tap water collected from Sarishabari of Jamalpur district and TCC was highest in market tap water collected from Durgapur of Netrokona district. The geometric mean of HPC of Jamalpur, Tangail, Kishoreganj and Netrokona districts water were 4.2x107, 2.7x107, 2.4x107 and 4.4x107 CFU/ml respectively. Out of 13 isolates of E. coli, 13 isolates were amplified by using 16S rRNA gene based PCR. The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern showed that the isolates were highly resistant to amoxicillin. Most of the E. coli isolates were susceptible to tetracycline, azithromycin, streptomycin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Furthermore, a few E. coli isolates were intermediate resistant to erythromycin and gentamycin. Moreover, out of 13 E. coli isolates 2 (15.4%) isolates were detected as multidrug resistant. This study indicated the presence of multidrug resistant E. coli isolates in tap water in Jamalpur, Tangail, Kishoreganj and Netrokona districts that warrant particular attention.Asian J. Med. Biol.

Published: September 2018

Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome also known as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder.  It is characterized by basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, skeletal abnormalities and in a minority of female patients bilateral calcified ovarian fibromas. It is challenging to radiologically assess ovarian fibromas as they have similar imaging patterns to some malignant ovarian lesions. However, it is vitally important to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions to determine patients' suitability for fertility-sparing surgery. This report describes a case of a 25 year-old patient with Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome and bilateral ovarian fibromas.

Published: September 2018

Intra-cranial saccular aneurysms, also known as Berry aneurysms, have a well-known association with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Aneurysmal rupture can be the initial presentation of the disease. ADPKD has two types of gene mutations: PKD1 and PKD2.The latter one is of a milder form presenting later in life. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and assessment in order to provide adequate management of these patients however, there are no official standardized guidelines established for screening of these intracranial aneurysms.
