Recurrent Ovarian Torsion in a Premenarchal Girl
Authors: Lin Lee Yee , Chin Xinyi , Sreedharan Aravind , Lin Lee Yee , Farhad Vasanwala Rashida , Tien Lee York
Published: December 2019

A 10-year-old girl presented with a recurrence of left ovarian torsion where she presented with intermittent
left sided abdominal pain for 2 days. She had a similar presentation occuring 1 month ago. The patient
underwent successful ovarian salvage with laparoscopic left ovary detorsion and bilateral oophoropexy 5
hours after presentation. Tumour markers were not raised. Intraoperative incisional ovarian biopsy showed
no evidence of malignancy. Ovarian torsion is a rare gynaecological emergency in children with nonspecific symptoms. Early recognition and surgery are important to prevent ovarian necrosis. The
presentation of acute onset unilateral abdominal pain on the background of a similar previous presentation
should alert the clinician of this diagnosis. Although ovarian torsions occur more commonly in the presence
of adnexal masses more than 5cm in size, it can also occur in normal ovaries especially in the premenarchal
age group. Laparoscopic detorsion is the treatment of choice with oophoropexy a feasible option for
prevention of a recurrence. Close follow up with ovarian surveillance is required to ensure resolution of
ovarian enlargement.
Response Time in Somatosensory Discrimination Tasks is Sensitive to Neurological Insult
Authors: M Tommerdahl , OV Favorov , EM Francisco , JK Holden , R Lensch , AP Tommerdahl , M Tommerdahl
Published: December 2019

Background: A number of reports have demonstrated significant differences in human performance on
diverse somatosensory-based discriminatory tasks dependent on the individual’s neurological status. For
example, compromised neurological status has been shown to lead to poor performance on tactile-based
tasks such as vibrotactile stimulus amplitude discrimination, frequency discrimination, temporal order
judgement, timing perception, and reaction time, and these deficits have been observed across a diverse
spectrum of neurological disorders.
Results: In this report, response time of recently concussed individuals (1-3 days) was found to be
significantly longer (~25%) than that of non-concussed individuals (i.e., controls) and individuals
recovering from concussion (10+ days post-concussion). Additionally, a significant difference was found in
response time on two different tasks. Timing perception, which is hypothesized to engage significantly more
neural circuitry than amplitude discrimination, had a significantly longer average response time than
amplitude discrimination.
Conclusions: These findings strongly suggest that response time could be used as a discriminative measure
when evaluating overall neurological health and/or cognitive function, and this is consistent with findings
of other reports that examined speed-accuracy trade-offs on discrimination tasks.
Listeria Monocytogenes Prosthetic Joint Infection, Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Mirnik Nino , Mirnik Nino , Mihalič Rene , Trebše Rihard
Published: December 2019

Background: Listeria monocytogenes causes bacteraemia in elderly and immunocompromised patients and
rarely also in immunocompetent patients. In sporadic setting it can be challenging to diagnose. We present
the first case of Listeria monocytogenes infection presenting as an acute infection of a prosthetic joint in
an immunocompetent patient.
Case summary: An immunocompetent patient presented with acute onset of right hip pain lasting for 3
days. The day before admission the patient had fever of 38.5°C and chills. The patient admitted having eaten
raw meat some days prior to onset of symptoms. He had a prosthetic right hip implanted due to secondary
arthritis 9 months prior to onset of hip symptoms. He was treated successfully with removal of mobile parts
and appropriate antibiotic treatment.
Conclusion: Sporadic focal infections with Listeria monocytogenes occur rarely and are often not
diagnosed until the arrival of final culture results. Dietary history is also important when clinical history of
patients is taken. Food consumption advice is important in immunocompromised, but also
immunocompetent patients can get infected when eating raw food. Accurate diagnosis for orthopaedic
samples is crucial. In order to successfully treat patients with a prosthetic joint infection, a tight collaboration
between several specialists is needed.

Authors: Majewski Ricati Lima , Oliveira Daniela dos Santos de
Published: December 2019

A equoterapia, método fisioterapêutico e educacional que foca no uso do equino como principal meio de aplicação, trabalha o desenvolvimento físico, psicológico e motor de pessoas portadoras ou não de necessidades especiais, para atingir objetivos cognitivos e afetivos. Conforme a necessidade do praticante –paciente – o cavalo pode produzir, após treinamento, passos diferentes para serem conjugados ao atendimento hora pré-posto pelos profissionais que acompanham cada sessão. Os atendimentos são sempre acompanhados pelo puxador do animal, por um fisioterapeuta e por um ajudante e pelo médico veterinário, profissional que vai observar a andadura do cavalo, problemas que o animal possa desenvolver durante os atendimentos ou não. O trabalho do bolsista de extensão fica direcionado ao acompanhamento, ajuda e manuseio com os animais utilizados na equoterapia no Patronato Agrícola e Profissional São José de Erechim, entidade filiada a ANDE – Associação Nacional de Equoterapia. Este projeto, foi desenvolvido por uma parceria entre a URI Erechim através do curso de medicina veterinária e fisioterapia e o Patronato através do projeto Fortalecer, para isso, foram utilizados sete equinos. Intervenções diretas não são possíveis mas tenho conseguido grandes melhoras nas instalações estruturais, no trato diário com os animais e na sanidade de cada um deles. O trabalho motor na equoterapia potencializa o equilíbrio, a força muscular por meio da estimulação dos sistemas proprioceptivo, vestibular e sensório-motor. A função motora, os desenvolvimentos intelectuais e afetivos estão intimamente ligados, e a psicomotricidade que justamente destaca a relação existente entre a motricidade, a mente e a afetividade, facilitando a abordagem global do indivíduo por meio da técnica.
A comparison of the free moment pattern between normal and hyper-pronated aligned feet in female subjects during the stance phase of gait
Authors: Yazdani F , Razeghi M , Ebrahimi S
Published: December 2019

Background: Excessive range of adductory free moment of the ground reaction force may potentially increase the risk of lower extremity injuries by applying a higher torsional load transmitted to the proximal parts.Objective: It was hypothesized that the free moment pattern might be different between hyper-pronated and normal feet subjects. Moreover, a correlation would exist between peak adduction free moment and peak ankle-foot complex abduction at the stance phase of walking.Methods: Thirty female participants were divided into two groups of asymptomatic hyper-pronated and normal feet. Kinetic and kinematic data were collected using a single force plate and a six-camera motion analysis system during three successful free speed walking trials. Ensemble average curves were extracted from the time normalized individual trials of the stance phase for both free moment and peak ankle-foot complex abduction parameters.Results: Significant differences in peak adductory free moment, peak ankle-foot complex eversion and peak ankle-foot complex abduction were found between normal and hyper-pronated groups (4.90±0.97Vs. 5.94±0.88, P < 0.01), (3.30±0.95Vs. 6.28±1.47, P < 0.01) and (4.52±1.16Vs. 8.23±2.52, P < 0.01, respectively).A significant positive correlation was found between the peak adduction free moment and peak ankle-foot complex abduction in both groups, which was more strongly positive in hyper-pronated group (r = 0.745, p < 0.01, normal group, r = 0.900, p < 0.01, hyper-pronated group).Conclusion: As a good measure of torque which is transmitted to the lower extremity, may free moment be a useful biomechanical indicator for both clinical and research purposes.
Introduction

Published: December 2019

This volume of Religion and Society is a special one. First, with this edition we celebrate our 10th anniversary. While our personnel have changed to some degree, our remit has remained largely the same. We present theoretically and methodologically challenging studies of religion through a variety of formats that place religion at the center of analysis and enable those who study religious phenomena to engage in debate and dialogue with each other. In recent years, our approach has also cemented ties with the Society for the Anthropology of Religion, a subsection of the American Anthropological Association. Over the entirety of the last decade, we have continued to publish exceptional interdisciplinary scholarship in social and cultural analyses of religion.
A Ritual Demystified
Authors: Oustinova-Stjepanovic Galina
Published: December 2019

This article describes how an iconic mystical Sufi ritual of body wounding, zarf, was stripped of its mystical credentials and conventional efficacy amid tensions between Rifai reformists and traditionalists in a small Roma neighborhood in Skopje, Macedonia. The death of a sorcerer and a funeral event-series set the scene for acts of ‘anti-wonder’ and demystification by the Rifai reformists. Despite the history of socialist secularism and inadvertently secularizing Islamic reforms in the region, demystification signaled not the loss of enchantment per se, but a competition for legitimate forms of wonder. In addition to accounting for socio-historical context and relational forms of Islam, the real challenge is how to see a demystified ritual for its explicit intellectual capacity to stimulate speculation about itself.
Francis, a Criollo Pope
Authors: Napolitano Valentina
Published: December 2019

This article explores the tension between Pope Francis as a ‘trickster’ and as a much-needed reformer of the Catholic Church at large. He is an exemplar of the longue durée of an embodied ‘Atlantic Return’ from the Americas to the ‘heart’ of Catholicism (Rome and the Vatican), with its ambivalent, racialized history. Through the mobilization of material religion, sensuous mediations, and the case of the Lampedusa crosses in particular, I engage with an anthropological analysis of Francis as a Criollo and the first-ever Jesuit pope. Examining Francis’s papacy overlapping racial and ethico-political dimensions, I identify coordinates around which the rhetorical, affective, and charismatic force of Francis as a Criollo has been actualized—between, most crucially, proximity and distance, as well as pastoral versus theological impulses. This article advances an understanding of Francis that emerges from a study of the conjuncture of affective fields, political theology, racialized aesthetics, and mediatic interface.
Adjudicating Religious Intolerance
Authors: Hartikainen Elina I.
Published: December 2019

Allegations of religious intolerance push courts to deliberate on questions that are constitutive of the problem space of secularism. In addition to legal opinions on the character and scope of religious freedom vis-à-vis conflicting rights, these arbitrations result in authoritative statements on what constitutes religion, how it may inhabit public space, and, ultimately, what interests and values underpin the national collective. This article analyzes three high-profile court cases alleging religious intolerance against Afro-Brazilian religions that were tried in Brazil during the first two decades of the 2000s. It demonstrates how at this time of rapid religious transformation the adjudication of such cases acted as a key site for the Brazilian legal establishment to redefine the place of religion in the broader context of rights and laws that regulate religion in public spaces.
Post-war Blood
Authors: Mahadev Neena
Published: December 2019

Since 2009, in the aftermath of Sri Lanka’s ethnic war, certain contingents of Sinhala Buddhists have lodged attacks against religious minorities, whom they censure for committing violence against animals in accordance with the dictates of their gods. Considering these interventions against sacrifice in spaces of shared Hindu and Buddhist religiosity, this article examines the economies of derogation, violence, and scapegoating in post-war Sri Lanka. Within Sinhala Buddhism, sacrifice is considered bio-morally impure yet politically efficacious, whereas meritorious Buddhist discipleship is sacrificial only in aspirational, bloodless terms. Nevertheless, both practices fall within the spectrum of Sinhala Buddhist religious life. Majoritarian imperatives concerning postwar blood impinge upon marginal sites of shared religiosity—spaces where the blood of animals is spilled and, ironically, where political potency can be substantively shored up. The article examines the siting of sacrifice and the purifying majoritarian interventions against it, as Buddhists strive to assert sovereignty over religious others.
EFFECTS OF BIOLOGICAL AGE AND AGING RATES ON THE EXPRESSION OF RISK FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION AND TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
Authors: Nemtsova V.D.
Published: December 2019

Objective: biological age has been given a large role in determining the significance and contribution to the general concept of risk factors in recent years. The relevance of determining the rate of aging is also due to the fact that the rate of aging may have a real prognostic value for assessing the health of both an individual and groups exposed to one or another risk factor. The aim of the present paper was to study the biological age, to assess the rate of aging in persons with high cardiovascular risk (CVR), as well as to carry out search for possible correlations of age-related indices of aging and some risk factors. Methods: During 2016-2018, 96 patients (42 men and 54 women), whose mean age was 62.66 ± 4.21 years, with AH stage II (disease duration of 10.2 ± 3.7 years) and DM2T, disease duration of 4.1 ± 2.4 years) were included in the study. The biological age and rate of aging was investigated by the method of V.P. Voitenko et al. Results: Physiological aging was observed in 9.38% (9/96) patients, in 31.25% (30/96) there was a delayed rate of aging, in 59.38% (57/96) - an accelerated rate of aging (ARA). ARA was characterized by a more pronounced body mass index, fasting blood glucose level, insulin resistance degree. In men, ARA was observed 2 times more frequently than in women. The most significant correlations between the indices characterizing the biological age and the rate of aging were recorded with systolic, diastolic and pulse arterial pressure. Conclusion: Thus, the complex of anthropometric and metabolic disorders can act as an initiating syndrome of accelerated aging, thereby aggravating the existing cardiovascular risk.

Predicting the course of heart failure (HF) is an urgent task of modern medical science. Given the increasing prevalence of the disease with age, it is necessary to take into account the presence of comorbid pathology. The aim of the research was to study the relationship between gene polymorphisms of the β-adrenoceptor system with non-toxic goiter (NTG) and the HF course. Materials and methods. The total of 285 patients with HF against the background of post-infarction cardiosclerosis were included into the study. Of these, 158 (55.42%) patients had a comorbidly unfavorable pathology - NTG. Genotyping of 4 polymorphisms (Gly389Arg of the β1-adrenoreceptor gene, Ser49Gly gene of the β1-adrenoceptor (β1-AP) gene, Gln27Glu of the β2-AP gene and Ser275 of the β3- G-protein subunit gene was performed usingpolymerase chain reaction (PCR). Genetic and epidemiological analysis was performed using the SNPStats software. The obtained results. The presence of the G-allele of the Ser49Gly polymorphism of the β1-AP gene is associated with an increase in the rate of NTG development (recessive heredity model, x2 = 3.719, p = 0.039). We found a tendency to the increase of NTG development rate (by 5.9%) in the presence of the allele C polymorphism of Ser275 gene GNβ3 (recessive model of heredity, x2 = 3,452, p = 0,068). The risk of "low triiodothyronine" syndrome development in patients with HF, running against the background of NTG increases in homozygotes (G / G) according to the polymorphism Ser49Gly (c, 145A> G) of the β1-AR gene (odds ratio (OR) = 9.19 (3.69-22.90), g = 0.044). In patients with HF, which runs against the background of NTG, with the presence of the G allele polymorphism Gln27Glu (c, 79C> G) of the β2-AP gene, the risk of reaching a combined endpoint within two years (OR = 3.05 (1.10-8.43) increases in a homozygous state and OR= 3.38 (1.47-7.82) in heterozygotes, at p = 0.008), the risk also increases with heterozygous (G / C) patients with the Gly389Arg (c, 1165G> C) polymorphism of the β1-AR gene in the presence of NTG (OR = 2.09 (1.00-4.37), p = 0.046). Conclusion. Congenital genetic differences in -adrenoceptor pathways may be associated with the development of non-toxic goiter and the long-term course of heart failure.

Over the past decades, there has been an increase in the incidence of chronic diseases of the liver. Diseases with characteristic changes in the liver, which are combined with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, are found in 80% of cases. Therefore, the timely manifestation and appropriate treatment of this pathology is very important today. Recently, there has been an increasing interest towards less invasive and non-invasive methods for the study of liver pathologies. One of the approaches to the verification of steatosis is the method of evaluating the controlled parameter of ultrasound suppression, the method is based on the properties of ultrasonic signals "to fade" in the tissues containing fat droplets. The aim of the work was to investigate the degree of parenchyma stiffness and the morphological pattern of the liver of rats in the conditions of the modeling of alimentary steatosis and after its correction with medications - coenzyme Q10 and methadoxine. The studies were performed on laboratory rats of the Wistar line. Simulation of steatosis in experimental animals was performed by alimentary disorders of the diet. In the course of morphological studies, it was found that in experimental rats development of steatosis with small-drop fat dystrophy, scattered throughout the particle plane and sinusoidal enlargement was observed, which was accompanied by increased stiffness of the liver parenchyma of rats. In animals, 30 days after steatosis modeling, rat liver parenchyma stiffness was less than that of the steatosis group and fat deposition in the hepatic cytoplasm of the hepatic lobe was observed. The use of Q10 and methadoxine in the simulation of alimentary steatosis in the liver of rats had a positive effect on the functional state of the liver, which was confirmed by morphological studies and shift wave elastography.
FEATURES OF STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF DECIDUAL MACROPHAGES IN HEALTHY PREGNANCY AND PREECLAMPSIA
Authors: Likhachov V.K. , Vashchenko V.L. , Shymanska Ya.V.
Published: December 2019

According to modern scholarly data, decidual macrophages play a significant role both in the physiological and pathological course of pregnancy due to their plasticity and immunosuppressive properties, participation in the remodeling of tissues and vessels, and the ability to form a local adaptive immunity. The normal course of pregnancy is characterized as a condition of moderate systemic inflammatory process because of activation of the immune system components, in the first place, the innate immunity and vascular endothelium. The development of preeclampsia is characterized by the impairment of placental processes and production of pathologically altered placenta, an excess of proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to the development of a systemic inflammatory response. However, there is still not enough data on the peculiarities of cytokine levels, the nature of phenotypic and morphofunctional macrophage changes, the ratio of subpopulations of decidual macrophages in the physiological and pathological course of pregnancy, which limits the understanding of the pathogenetic role of M1 and M2 decidual macrophages in preeclampsia. It is only probable, but not proven, that the development of preeclampsia is associated with an imbalance of decidual macrophages during the late phase of the first trimester and the early phase of the second trimester of pregnancy, with the predominance of macrophages of the M1 phenotype and subsequent inadequate remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries. The effectiveness of preventing preeclampsia by stimulating the differentiation of decidual macrophages in the direction of the M2 phenotype has not been studied. The obtained results determine the expediency and relevance of further studying the etiopathogenesis of preeclampsia, improving the knowledge of the immunological mechanisms of this obstetric pathology development (taking into account the peculiarities of differentiation in subpopulations of decidual macrophages with the formation of M1 and M2 phenotypes) and determine the need for the development of new methods for the early formation of high-risk groups for preeclampsia, ways of secondary prevention of the disease, which would enable us to develop effective tactics for the management of pregnant women with preeclampsia, specifically aimed at reducing maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Published: December 2019

Bez razvoja ekološke poljoprivrede, ne bi bilo ni ekološkog vinogradarstva. Ekološko vinogradarstvo u svijetu dobiva na sve većem značaju. Mediteranske države prednjače s površinama za ekološki uzgoj vinove loze. Republika Hrvatska nije izuzetak od toga, no zbog nepoznavanja zakona i pravila ekološke proizvodnje, još uvijek je nedovoljno zastupljena. Potpore od strane mjerodavnih tijela Republike Hrvatske i EU fondova, kao i ekološka svijest, mogu pridonijeti proširenju ekološkog vinogradarstva u Republici Hrvatskoj.

Published: December 2019

Sorte korištene u proizvodnji vinjaka vrhunske kvalitete, određene su specifičnim karakteristikama poput visoke ukupne kiselosti, niske koncentracije šećera i niske pH vrijednosti. U navedenu kategoriju sorata može se svrstati nekoliko hrvatskih autohtonih sorata, među kojima su 'Kraljevina' i 'Ranfol'. Posjedovanjem navedenih karakteristika, može ih se nazvati potencijalno prikladnim sortama za proizvodnju rakija od vina, osobito vinjaka. Cilj ovog rada je evaluacija karakteristika vinskih destilata od sorata vinove loze 'Kraljevina' i 'Ranfol' te procjena njihove prikladnosti za proizvodnju rakija od vina i vinjaka u Republici Hrvatskoj. Berba i alkoholna fermentacija provedeni su na vinogradarsko-vinarskom pokušalištu „Jazbina“, a destilacija u laboratoriju Zavoda za vinogradarstvo i vinarstvo Agronomskog fakulteta u 2017. godini. Provedena je analiza kemijskog sastava vina i srednjeg toka destilata metodama propisanim od O.I.V.-a. Određivanje hlapivih spojeva poput viših alkohola, estera, metanola i acetaldehida provedeno je metodom plinske kromatografije s plameno-ionizacijskim detektorom. Prema osnovnim kemijskim parametrima određenim u srednjem toku destilata proizlazi kako sorte vinove loze 'Kraljevina' i 'Ranfol' imaju svojstva koje ih čine prikladnim za proizvodnju vinjaka. Cilj istraživanja i dobiveni rezultati vrlo su značajni za poticanje šire i češće upotrebe navedenih sorata za ovu namjenu.

Jedna od najstarijih kultiviranih biljaka, vinova loza, od pamtivijeka je prisutna u Dalmaciji pa tako i na otoku Braču gdje prvi nalazi o njenom uzgoju datiraju iz rimskog doba. Danas se loza na otoku, uz nekoliko većih proizvođača i zadruga na južnoj strani, uglavnom uzgaja na manjim površinama za potrebe domaćinstava, a u uzgoju prevladavaju autohtone sorte ´Plavac mali´, ´Pošip´ i ´Vugava´. Cilj ovog rada bio je uz literaturni pregled uvjeta i tradicije proizvodnje vina, odrediti kemijski sastav i kakvoću crnih vina berbe 2018. s područja općine Postira, proizvedenih od autohtonih sorata ´Plavac mali´, ´Babić´, ´Tribidrag´ i ´Ninčuša´ te internacionalnih sorata ´Merlot´ i ´Syrah´. Uz osnovni fizikalno-kemijski sastav, analizirane su koncentracije ukupnih fenola i antocijana te senzorna svojstva- vanjski izgled, miris i okus vina jedanaest proizvođača. Osnovnom fizikalno-kemijskom analizom utvrđene su koncentracije alkohola, ekstrakta i pepela svojstvene crnim vinima južnih vinogorja, a svi uzorci bili su u kategoriji polusuhih vina. Koncentracije ukupnih fenolnih spojeva bile su u rasponu 1813-3628 mgL-1 a ukupnih antocijana 97-318 mgL-1. Senzorna analiza vina potvrdila je intenzivnu obojenost vina kod svih uzoraka uz velike razlike u kakvoći okusa i mirisa.
Normanowie w dziełach Geralda z Walii a świat bizantyński
Authors: Böhm Marcin
Published: December 2019

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the selected works of one of the twelfth century Norman historian living in the British Isles, Gerald de Barri of Wales (1146-1223) in terms of his knowledge of the Byzantine world and its cor­relation with the Normans (from England and Southern Italy). The term Byzantine world has been evolving for several decades. Today it refers no longer just to the land of the former East European Empire, which later transformed itself into the Greek Byzantium, but it can be referred to the Balkans or the Kingdom of Normandy, while scientists are constantly expanding its borders with the help of other sciences such as archeology. We will do this based on his work: De in­structione principis, Topographia Hibernica, Expugnatio Hibernica, Itinerarium Cambriae and Descriptio Cambriae. Selected by Gerald of Wales the themes of the Byzantine and Norman kingdoms of Sicily, which appear in his five works ci­ted above, are proof of the broad political horizons of the elites from British Isles that were associated with the Plantagenet dynasty. Gerald was never in Sicily, in Byzantium or in the Holy Land, but he had some source in sight, both in the form of eyewitness accounts of events and in the accounts of contemporary wri­ters, which does not diminish the credibility of the data he cites. Better and more strongly, he was interested in the facts of the kingdom of Normans in Sicily than in Byzantium. Such a state of affairs seems to be understandable, as he saw in them both a political partner and, to some extent, a model to imitate, especially in the aspect of conducting politics against the conquered peoples.

Męczeństwo i kult braci machabejskich w nauczaniu św. Augustyna
Authors: Kamczyk Wojciech
Published: December 2019

The article presents the place of martyrdom of both the seven Maccabean bro­thers and their mother, and the adoration of them according to the Bishop Augustine of Hippo. The worship developed in the 4th century and it also reached Africa. However, it demanded justification, due to the Old Testament character of the re­vered people. The Bishop provided an opportunity to present the essence of Christian martyrdom and loyalty to Christ and His people, to emphasize the value of the tes­timony and its authenticity. He also encouraged to polemics with Judaism and some of the pagan practices which were sometimes taken also by the Christians.
Orygenes i hebrajski tekst Pisma Świętego
Authors: Królikowski Janusz
Published: December 2019

Origen is the exegete and Old Christian writer whose influence on the under­standing of the Bible has always been determinative. Undoubtedly, for ecclesiasti­cal reasons he deemed the Septuagint superior and regarded it as the Christian Old Testament. He thought highly of Hebrew text as well, which he often used for his research. An expression of this belief was among others the Hexapla worked out by Origen, which can be regarded as an exceptional manifestation of esteem towards the Old Testament and its Hebrew version. Origen’s attitude towards the Bible can be characterized by two approaches: on the one hand it is the ecclesiastical approach which gives the first place to the text commonly accepted in the Church namely the Septuagint, but on the other hand he is open to every other text Hebrew or Greek, trying to understand it and take it into account in his commentary.
Inicjacyjny charakter XI rozdziału Listu do Hebrajczyków

Published: December 2019

The article presents the initiatory nature of the eleventh chapter of the Epistle to Hebrews. The author of the Epistle, on the example of characters from the Old Testament, presents two patterns of faith development: individual and commu­nal. These patterns correspond to the process of the pre-baptism initiation carried out in the ancient Church on three stages: encouragement, precatechumenate and catechumenate. The final extracts of the analysed chapter of the Epistole, interpre­ted with the use of initiation method, present the faith development of the baptised and their preparation to the martyrdom for faith in Jesus Christ.
Deontic Moral Reasoning Task
Authors: Sudić Mislav , Valerjev Pavle , Ćirić Josip
Published: December 2019

Domain theory suggests that moral rules and conventions are perceived differently and elicit a different response. A special procedure was designed to test this hypothesis in a laboratory setting using a deontic reasoning task. The goal was to gain insight into the cognitive and metacognitive processes of deontic reasoning from simple deontic premises. In the 3x2x2 within-subjects design, we varied rule-content (moral, conventional, abstract), rule-type (obligation, permission) and the induced dilemma (punishment dilemma, reward dilemma). Participants (N = 78) were presented with 12 laws. After memorizing a law, eight cases were presented to participants so that they make a quick judgment. Participants were tasked with punishing rule-violators, ignoring rule-conformists, and rewarding rule-supererogation. Response times (RT) and accuracy were measured for each judgment, and final confidence was measured after a set of judgments. No differences were expected between rule-types, except for superior performance for moral content and punishment dilemmas. RT correlated negatively with confidence levels, while accuracy correlated positively. Moral reasoning was more accurate than conventional and abstract reasoning, and produced higher confidence levels. Better performance was found for punishment dilemmas than reward dilemmas, likely due to the presence of a cheater-detection module; but the differences were not found in moral reasoning. Moral reasoning was also independent of rule-type, while conventional and abstract reasoning produced superior performance in obligation-type than in permission-type rules. A large drop-off in accuracy was detected for rules that allowed undesirable behaviour, a phenomenon we termed the "deontic blind spot". However, this blind spot was not present in moral reasoning. Three lines of evidence indicate a qualitative difference between the moral and other deontic domains: (1) performance for moral content was independent of rule-type, (2) moral content produced an equal activation of violator- and altruist-detection modules, and (3) moral content produces higher levels of confidence.
Instability and stability of population dynamics and local settlements in post-Soviet Chukotka: regional characteristics seen from intraregional and local differences
Authors: Kumo K. , Litvinenko T. V.
Published: December 2019

The aims of the study are twofold. First, it aims at identifying geographical characteristics and differences in the stability/instability of population dynamics. Second, the paper examines the sustainability of settlements in the ethnic region in the Arctic Circle and the factors that determine them. Traditional geographical approaches and the field research enabled us to clarify general instability of the population dynamics and the settlements of Chukotka in the 1990s and its stabilization seen after 2002, although there were significant differences at the intra-regional and local levels. Relatively greater stability (a smaller decrease in the population due to a smaller migration outflow and the absence of abandoned settlements) was seen in the population and settlements in regions with high percentage share of indigenous people. The most unstable areas were those with a large share of the newcomers and those with the mining industry, especially in the 1990s. The extremely and most vulnerable was single-company towns which closely connected with mining enterprises, most of which were eliminated before 2000. Differences in stability/instability of population dynamics and local settlements, or differences in resilience/vulnerability of the system at different spatial levels (from regions to individual settlements) will become more evident in the years under crisis but will be smoothed out during the period of relatively stable development.

The article presents results of the research project aimed to explore intra-urban differences in Moscow. The concept of social space a dual reality, which is derived from both social relations and territorial characteristics, was employed as a theoretical background of the research. Various quantitative parameters for each of 125 Moscow municipal districts were used. They include data of Census-2010, current socio-economic and demographic statistics, migration data, results of recent electoral campaigns, real estate indicators and local survey data. The indexes of ethnic diversity, demographic shifts, urban environment diversification, people feelings, and place reputation were calculated. A few classifications of Moscow districts are proposed. Maps showing different dimensions of the social space of Moscow are presented. The comparative analysis of the constructed images reveals an increasing fragmentation and polarization of Moscow social space: the cleavages became more apparent, the socio-spatial gradients have risen. The inequality strengthening led to a tangible division in the level of amenities by municipal districts, to the improvement of urban environment and increase in benefits in some areas, and stagnation in another. The authors conclude that politics targeted at improving the connectivity of the urban spaces and the social milieus, as well at adjusting diversity of urban environment with diversity of urban population, is required to reduce a risk of segregation. This kind of politics and activities is most in demand in the areas where the growth of ethnic and cultural diversity of local residents takes place in the context of development deficiency, relative isolation, and social exclusion.

The article considers the conditions of conjugate branches system transformation into parallel-branched channel, which are the most complex morphologically (by the mode of deformations and management) on the example of the Pokrovsko-Yakutsky section of the middle Lena River basin in the 21st century. It may arise from the general increase in the Lena Rivers water content and thawing frozen soils (composing shallow waters and near-shore shallows), as well as from the development of sleeves with unstable channel. At the same time, local conditions encouraged to the formation of a complex single (three-arm) branching at the beginning of the expansion of the valley bottom and the channel below city of Pokrovsk, the preservation of a straight unbranched channel upstream, the channel of the same type below the Tabaga Cape and alternating one-side branching at the end of the site. The modern riverbed reformation after the changes occurred consists in the transgressive displacement of floodplain-island massifs, intensive banks erosion, and the sediment accumulation zones formation. This has led to the significant complications in the river water usage (including water intake and port water areas sedimentation, creation an unfavorable environment in the port approaches area, berths and industrial infrastructure) and to creation of an emergency situation at the coastal infrastructure facilities. The revealed channel deformations regularities on the basis of long-term and modern researches and hydrodynamic modeling allowed to develop and justify the complex scheme of channel processes management, which implementation will allow to reduce or neutralize their adverse or dangerous manifestations.
SLAPP-ing Back

Published: December 2019

Open government advocates have expressed alarm at recent lawsuits that government agencies have filed against people requesting public records. Such suits bear a resemblance to “SLAPP” suits, the label given to “strategic lawsuits against public participation,” intended to harass active citizens out of the public sphere. This article considers whether these recent lawsuits could be considered SLAPP suits in their states, and examines whether 31 anti-SLAPP laws around the country might apply to these types of circumstances. We categorize the laws based on their various definitions for public participation, finding that many laws could cover public records requests, and argue that although not all anti-SLAPP laws will offer a defense when a government entity sues a records requester, courts do not look charitably on government plaintiffs in these circumstances.
