Recent research on the aesthetics of knowledge in science and in religion
Authors: Borrelli Arianna , Grieser Alexandra
Published: July 2018

As an introduction to the case studies collected in the current special issue, this review article provides a brief, and by no means exhaustive, overview of research that proves to be relevant to the development of a concept of an aesthetics of knowledge in the academic study of religion and in science and technology studies. Finally, it briefly discusses recent work explicitly addressing the aesthetic entangle-ment of science and religion.
Symmetry, beauty and belief in high-energy physics
Authors: Borrelli Arianna
Published: July 2018

This paper engages with the aesthetics of knowl-edge, both in its sense as the connection between knowledge and ‘aesthetic’ judgements of beauty, or ugliness, and of the many ‘aesthetic’ – that is to say sensually perceivable – dimensions of knowledge, which are always to be seen to be constituting an epistemic factor in its production and consumption. On the one hand I analyse how in recent decades the connection between beauty and truth has been systematically employed to both inspire and guide research in high-energy physics; at the same time I also show how this use of aesthetic judgement only reveals its constitutive role in physics research when paying attention to the broad range of aesthetic strategies employed for expressing scientific knowledge.

The reconfiguration of the European Archive in contemporary German-Jewish migrant-literature
Authors: Ortner Jessica
Published: July 2018

A considerable number of Eastern European migrant authors of Jewish origin are currently lifting Holocaust memory to a new level. Writing in German about events taking place in remote areas of the world, they expand the German framework of memory from a national to a transnational one. By partaking in reconsidering what is ‘vital for a shared remembering’ of Europe, this branch of writing reflects the European Union’s political concern for integrating the memories of the socialistic regimes in European history writing without relativising the Holocaust. In Vielleicht Esther, Katja Petrowskaja consults various national and private archives in order to recount the history of the mass shooting of over 30,000 Ukrainian Jews at Babij Jar – a canyon near Kiev. Thus, she ‘carries’ a marginalised event of the Holocaust into the German framework of memory and uncovers the layers of amnesia that have not only concealed the event amongst the Soviet public but also distorted and for ever made inaccessible her family’s past.
‘Lightning flashes of my burning memory’
Authors: Benthien Claudia
Published: July 2018

Thomas Lehr’s novella Frühling (Spring, 2001) presents the last seconds of the fifty-year-old protagonist’s life – between the moment he shoots himself and the advent of his death. As an adolescent he realised he was the child of a perpetrator father who conducted human experiments on inmates as a Nazi concentration camp doctor. Written in an extreme variant of autonomous inner monologue, the novella interlaces perceptions and memories without transition. The textual structure dissects these incidents, as the syntax is often destroyed by punctuation marks and irregular orthography. At one point, the first-person narrator chooses the formula ‘lightning flashes of my burning memory’, which aptly describes Lehr’s poetic technique, reminiscent of traumatic flashback. This article argues that the protagonist undergoes residual experiences of dissociation as a result of his insurmountable entanglement in the guilt of the father. Thus, Frühling is a radical and disturbing literary treatment of trauma.
Splittringen mellan polska judiska och icke-judiska överlevande från koncentrationsläger. Det svenska samhällets reaktioner våren och sommaren 1945
Authors: Giloh Mordechay
Published: July 2018

När ungefär 20 000 överlevande från nazisternas koncentrationsläger togs emot i Sverige under våren och sommaren 1945 visste flyktingpersonalen och beslutfattarna bland svenska myndigheter mycket litet om deras bakgrund, kultur och etnicitet. I början dominerade inställningen att antagonismen mellan judar och icke-judar från Polen var en religiös eller etnisk ömsesidig motsättning. Efter ett par månader mognade insikten om splittringen i två separata polska identiteter, samtidigt som antisemitismen hos icke-judiska polacker började nämnas vid sitt rätta namn. En liberalare samhällssyn, flyktingpersonalens personliga erfarenheter samt internationella faktorer samverkade till en bättre förståelse för flyktingarnas situation och för deras behov av att bygga upp ett nytt liv i Sverige där många så småningom rehabiliterades.* * *The division between Polish Jewish and non-Jewish concentration camp survivors: reactions from the Swedish society during the spring and summer of 1945 • As approximately 20,000 survivors from the Nazi concentration camps where received in Sweden during the spring and summer of 1945, the refugee workers and decision makers knew very little about their background, culture and ethnicity. Initially, the general opinion held that the antagonism between Jews and non-Jews from Poland was a mutual religious and cultural conflict and only a few observed the harsh verbal antisemitism that was common among non-Jewish Polish refugees. Over the coming months, an awareness of two separate Polish identities developed and the prevalent antisemitism was recognised for what it was. All persons, who lived within the borders of Poland before the war, were initially classified as Poles but gradually a classification according to religious and ethnic belonging developed. After a few months, the govern­ment and authorities realised that it was impossible to demand that all refugees return to their country of origin. A study of the archives of state authorities and aid agencies in Sweden reveals how an in­creasingly liberal view of society, the personal experiences of the aid workers as well as international circumstances contributed to a deeper understanding of the situation of the refugees and their needs to build a new life in Sweden, where many of them eventually where rehabilitated.
Bøger om jødisk historie i Danmark de sidste 15 år
Authors: Thing Morten
Published: July 2018

I Danmark er der de sidste femten år udkommet en hel del bøger om jødernes historie, ikke mindst om deres trængsler. Morten Thing gennemgår i denne oversigtsartikel de vigtigste indenfor forskning og formidling. * * *Books on Jewish history in Denmark the last 15 years • The most spectacular work about Jewish culture is without doubt Martin Schwarz Lausten’s six-volume work about the attitude of the Danish Lutheran church towards the Jews and Judaism. It is a work of great precision and with the use of many new sources. Although it is a work on church-history it has a lot to say on Jewish reactions to the church and the state. The volumes are: Kirke og synagoge,De fromme og jøderne, Oplysning i kirke og synagoge, Frie jøder?, Folkekirken og jøderne og Jødesympati og jødehad i folkekirken. Antisemitism has also been in focus and Sofie Lene Baks work on the history of antisemitism in Denmark is probably the most central: Dansk antisemitisme 1930–45. The rescue of the Danish Jews in WWII is without doubt the most researched topic in Danish Jewish history. Many new works have been published. Sofie Lene Baks book on what happened to the Jews when they came back from Sweden I 1945, Da krigen var forbi. It turned out that the municipality of Copenhagen had taken care of many flats and possessions. The history of the Jewish minority has been more in focus than ever. Many new books have been published. Arthur Arnheim’s Truet minoritet søger beskyttelse is the biggest book on the history from seventeenth century until today.

Bernhard Kahn
Authors: Jacobowsky C.
Published: July 2018

In this article, the author presents Bernhard Kahn (1876–1955) born in Oskarshamn, Sweden. During his career he grew an extensive international network, which made him one of the most known Swedish Jews abroad of the 20th century. Towards the end of 1904, Kahn was employed as secretary-general of Hilfsverein der Deutschen Juden which had been founded in 1901 and commenced its full activity in 1903, after the progrom in Kishinev. As secretary general of HV, Kahn worked hard to give constructive assistance to the Jews in Eastern Europe, among other things. Later he worked in Berlin as European director of the Joint. Kahn perceived that his position as JDC’s European director was untenable as long as he remained in Berlin. His connections with the hated American Jewish community were unpopular in Berlin. In the end of March 1933 he prepared his departure and moved his office to Paris. In 1938, during Kahn’s last active year in Europe before he moved to the United States, there were 687 loan societies with 191,000 members, small businessmen, farmers and craftsmen. JDC’s Reconstruction Foundation, with Kahn as its executive director, was not only active among the Jews in Poland, but also in Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Czechoslovakia and Turkey.
The problem of Gush Emunim
Authors: Ahlberg Sture
Published: July 2018

A movement that has made big headlines lately is the Gush Emunim, a term which means “bloc of believers”. The enormous publicity about this phenomenon in the mass media has made necessary a close study to the issues connected with the Gush Enunim movement. In this paper I intend to give a more detailed account of the background of this movement, and above all, deal with some terminological questions connected with it. The earliest roots of Gush Emunim may be traced to the period after the Israeli victory in the Six-Day War 1967. The formal founding of the movement, however, goes back to February 1974, when several hundred yeshivah-students and young members of the National Religious Party attended a convention at Kfar Ezion. The ideology originated, to no small degree, from that of Rabbi Kook. In Rabbi Kook’s mind the idea of the Jews’ affinity with the Holy Land played a tremendous role. Only in Palestine could the Jewish people fulfill the divine mission to become a “light for the nations”. In spite of the abundant use of religious symbols and conceptions, mainly derived from Jewish eschatology, it must be regarded as quite misleading to designate this movement as a Messianic one. Gush Emunim, then, is basically a political, nationalistic movement, devoted to the aim of refusing territorial compromises with the Arabs concerning the Land of Israel.
Hispano-Hebrew strophic poetry
Authors: Haxen Ulf
Published: July 2018

The conquest of Spain by the Arabs, allegedly prompted by leaders of the Jewish population after the fall of the Visigothic regime, 711, opened up an era in Medieval European history which stands unmatched as far as cultural enlightenment is concerned. Philosophy, belles lettres and the natural sciences flourished in the academies established by the Arab savants in the main urban centres. In the wake of the cultural revolution, a new branch of scholarship came into being – Hebrew philology. From the midst of this syncretistic, Mozarabic, milieu a remarkable poetic genre emerged. The study of Mozarabic (from Arabic, musta’riba, to become Arabicized) poetry has proved as one of the most fertile and controversial fields of research for Semitist and Romanist scholars during the past decades.
The priest anointed for battle
Authors: Martola Nils
Published: July 2018

The reason why I undertook to study the theme “The priest anointed for battle” was that while studying texts having to do with the Messiah, Son of Joseph, often called the Anointed for battle § 1 §, I repeatedly came upon rabbinic texts which also dealt with the one Anointed for battle, but which seemed to deal with another person, a priest. Although scholars, who had previously noted this phenomenon were certain that the texts dealt with two different persons having the same title, I felt that the texts should be examined in a more thorough way to determine whether or not there existed an organic relation between the traditions about the two persons. It soon became clear that the texts dealing with the priest Anointed for battle § 2 § exhibit several interesting features, most important being perhaps that the texts are inherently eschatological in character and that the texts dealing with the § 1 § often seem foreign in their respective context.
A memorandum from the Russian Jews in Safed and Tiberias to Sir Moses Montefiore (1863)
Authors: Hoffman Joseph
Published: July 2018

In Albert M. Hyamson’s invaluable reference work “The British Consulate in Jerusalem in relation to the Jews in Palestine 1838–1914” a letter from Sir Moses Montefiore is quoted. Montefiore was at that time President of the London committee of Deputies of the British Jews. The letter is addressed to Earl Russell, the Foreign Secretary, and in this letter Montefiore mentions that he is enclosing a Memorial from the Jewish Communities in Safed and Tiberias, complaining about the deplorable condition in which they find themselves as a consequence of the withdrawal of British Protection which they had enjoyed during the preceding 10 years. The original Memorial is an address to Sir Moses Montefiore, sent by the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbis of Safed and Tiberias in 1863.

Jewish/Christian symbolism in Bernard Malamud's novel God's grace
Authors: Ahokas Pirjo
Published: July 2018

Besides being one of the major American authors of the postwar period, Bernard Malamud is also one of the leading representatives of contemporary Jewish fiction. When God's Grace was published, it received very mixed reviews and the novel is likely to remain one of Malamud’s most controversial books. Part of the audience’s puzzlement derives from the fact that with its grotesque characters and strange events God’s Grace seems to defy definition. The novel is filled with literary references and biblical symbolism that mainly draws on Genesis and on the apocalyptic tradition fused with elements of Messianism. The author discusses the genre problem of God’s Grace by outlining some of its background in contemporary America fiction and then analyzing the meaning and effect of Malamud’s use of Jewish/Christian symbolism to enhance the valuable aspects of the Jewish inheritance.

Main trends in modern Josephus research
Authors: Bilde Per
Published: July 2018

Josephus was a Jewish historian during the 1st century in the Roman Empire. In the Christian church, Josephus received recognition as a crypto-Christian Nicodemus character, a kind of Jewish church father similar to Philo, or a kind of fifth evangelist. In late antiquity and the Middle Ages of Europe he was respected and esteemed as a great author and historian. For example, a man like Hieronymus would describe him as the Jewish Livius. During this period, admiration of him was nearly uncritical, and the work of scholars consisted primarily in carrying on the tradition by constantly creating new editions and translations. The first slight signs of critical attitude appeared at the end of the Middle Ages, when one gradually began to take note of and comment on Josephus’ deviations from the text of the Old Testament in his rendering of biblical history.

Prospects for the protection of religious pluralism (Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria)
Authors: Orlin Theodore
Published: July 2018

The drastic changes that have dramatically altered the political fabric of Europe raise significant questions as to the future of the interrelationship of religions with states whose political structure is now in flux. A commitment to pluralism, democracy, and respect for religious belief and practice is easily made. The difficult question is the manner in which it is going to be accomplished and secured. Further, given the often strong interaction between nationalistic goals and religious identity, the call for democracy and human rights were and often are in the mutual interest of the religious establishment and those who have nationalistic agendas. Once the immediate goal has been achieved, and religions are free to function, conceivably there is a potential that adherents of a majority religion can use their political dominance to obtain privileges at the expense of minority beliefs. This is especially true due to the long period of abuse perpetrated by states antagonistic to religion. It is not hard to comprehend a desire to return to the status quo and reimpose conditions that existed prior to the establishment of anti-religious regimes and recreate conditions favorable to a majority religion. This article considers the situation in Poland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
Saadya's portrayal of the Messiah Ben Joseph
Authors: Sysling Harry
Published: July 2018

The intention of this article is to describe the different elements of Saadya’s story on Messiah ben Joseph and to discover on which sources this story was based. It has been maintained by renowned scholars that Saadya first and foremost made use of the Book of Zerubabbel in presenting the elements of his description of the Messiah ben Joseph. It seems, however, quite evident that he employed other sources as well. We have shown that he relies in some cases upon the Aggadat HaMashiah as against the Book of Zerubabbel. By contrast Saadya once has a striking parallel with the Otot HaMashiah as against both the Book of Zerubabbel and Aggadat HaMashiah. His description of the appearance of Amilus and of the death of Messiah ben Joseph is surprisingly restrained in comparison with the colourful details in the Book of Zerubabbel. Use of the Otot HaMashiah can also be demonstrated in the emphasis which is laid by Saadya on the “deterioration of Israel’s relationship with the governments of the world”.
'Mein Eden, lieber Sigismund, öffnet seine Pforten nicht in Amerika': dissenting Jewish images in German popular fiction
Authors: Schuchalter Jerry
Published: July 2018

Germanists in the post-holocaust era have assiduously searched the canon of German literature for other images besides the conventional demonization of the Jew. The legacy of Gustav Freytag’s Veitel Itzig and Wilhelm Raabe’s Moses Freudenstein – two of the most famous of such demonizations – however, remain representative figures for the image of the Jew in 19th century German fiction, although in both novels, other Jewish figures appear which reveal further aspects of anti-Semitic stereotyping.

Tradition and revolution. In search of roots: Uri Zvi Grinberg's Albatros
Authors: Winther Judith
Published: July 2018

Although Uri Zvi Grinberg had published poetry in both Hebrew and Yiddish from 1912 onward, it was with the appearance of the Yiddish volume Mefisto in 1921 and his Albatros in 1922–1923 that the new idiom, expressionism was introduced. In seeking to explain the transformation of Uri Zvi Grinberg from a minor romantic lyric poet in Yiddish and Hebrew into an Expressionist bard who emerged in the 1921 Mefisto, critics have advanced a number of elaborate and sometimes contradictory theories. His own special “creative force” in interplay with the highly eclectic dynamic of Yiddish modernism, spurred a turning point, which witnessed the return of his artistic attention, as of his confreres to the realities of the phenomenal world, in confrontation with symbolism (aestetic romanticist) and impressionist art.

Collected traditions and scattered secrets. Eclecticism and esotericism in the works of the 14th century ashkenazi kabbalist Menahem Ziyyoni of Cologne
Authors: Laura Heidi
Published: July 2018

There are many examples of authors of mystical works who consciously chose to retreat the role of copyists and collectors of already existing traditions. The emphasis in Kabbalistic works is on recording mystical tradition, while personal reports of mystical experiences or clearly individual expositions of mystical themes are rarely found in the large corpus of Kabbalistic works. This article attempts to illuminate the special place of mosaic works and collectanea in Kabbalistic literature and its specific character, using the works of an unjustly neglected 14th century kabbalist as a focus. The writings of Ashkenazi kabbalist Menahem Ziyyoni are exemplary of the problem of collected works. Kabbalistic anthological works had an especially golden period in the 14th century. The mosaic works of the 14th century became a new way of continuing the zoharic project of an overarching hermeneutical system, which integrated and legitimated a number of different interpretations of the same text.
Beyond imagery: new approaches to the analysis of literary antisemitism and a casestudy of Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks
Authors: Marquardt Franka
Published: July 2018

The most common approach when analyzing literary antisemitism is to explore the “image of the Jew” in literary texts. At a closer look, this focus entails several problems, ranging from a neglect of other anti-Semitic elements in the text, to the risk that this method results in reproducing these anti-Semitic patterns of thought. By questioning this method, the focus shifts to other levels in the literary texts, which may reveal an anti-Semitic “sub-text” although the imagery seems harmless. What these literary levels are and how they interact is exemplified by two examples from Thomas Mann’s Buddenbrocks. The results shed new light on his Nobel prize-winning first novel.

Forgotten Prophet. William Henry Hechler and the rise of political Zionism
Authors: Maaß Enzo
Published: July 2018

Reverend William Henry Hechler was of outstanding significance for the mediation of Theodor Herzl’s Zionist ideas to the German and English aristocracy from 1896 to 1904. In spite of this he has for the most part been left overseen, and therefore almost forgotten. Intending to reverse that trend, this article presents a brief biographical sketch of William Hechler, and discusses his relation to Theodor Herzl and the emerging Zionist movement. It highlights their different personalities and the incommensurability of their fundamental ideas. Further, Hechler’s most central publication, The Restoration of the Jews to Palestine (1882), is presented in its historical context and in regard to its posthumous reception. Consequently previous readings of this document are questioned and subsequently dismissed. Instead a new picture of this hitherto almost unknown document will emerge. Finally William Hechler’s prophetical endeavours are briefly outlined, critically reviewed and cautiously re-dated to the midst of the 1890s. Thus, the article promotes an alternative perspective on the spread and success of the young Zionist movement: By focusing on Hechler’s ability to transform Herzl’s political message into a semi-political or religious one, the way is paved for another understanding of the breakthrough and acceptance of Zionism.

У статті висвітлено результати досліджень тривалості веґетаційного періоду квасолі та окремих його фаз для середньостиглих сортів Мавка, Перлина, Надія залежно від рівня удобрення та інокулювання насіння «Ризобофітом Р» в умовах Закарпаття України. Польовий дослід закладали на колекційно-демонстративному полі у ВП НУБіП України «Мукачівський аграрний коледж» у Закарпатській області на дерново-підзолистих важкосуглинкових ґрунтах. Встановлено, що в умовах Закарпаття веґетація середньостиглих сортів квасолі залежно від сортових особливостей, удобрення та інокуляції насіння варіює від 93 до 113 діб. Збільшення норми внесення мінеральних добрив до N60P20K25 подовжує веґетаційний період сортів квасолі звичайної на 8–13 діб. За передпосівної обробки насіння «Ризобофітом Р» тривалість веґетації та настання фенофаз квасолі звичайної також подовжувалась від 2 до 5 діб. Сорт Надія достигає раніше на 8–10 діб.

The article is devoted to the results of the study of the duration of the vegetation period of the beans and its individual phases for mid-late varieties of Mavka, Pearl, Nadiya depending on the level of fertilization and inoculation of seeds by «Risobofit P» in the conditions of Transcarpathia of Ukraine. Field experiments were laid on the collector-demonstration field at the NUPiP of Ukraine «Mukachevo Agrarian College» in the Transcarpathian region on turf-podzolic heavy-soil soils. Mineral fertilizers were introduced in the form of ammonium nitrate (34.4 % N), phosphorous flour (30 % P), kalimagnesia (26–28 % K, 11–18 % Mg); additionally carried out liming of soils at the rate of 3 t/ha. The inoculation of seed beans was carried out on the day of sowing by «Risobofit» (mark P), which contains the symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria of the genus Rhizobium phaseoli from the Institute of Agroecology and Nature Management of NAAS. It has been established that in the conditions of Transcarpathia, the vegetation of mid-season varieties of beans varies from 93 to 113 days depending on variety characteristics, fertilization and inoculation of seeds. Hope grade reached earlier than others and the period of vegetation it was 8–10 days shorter. Application of seed inoculation prolonged the period of vegetation of beans varieties compared to variants without seed inoculation on a different background of fertilizer for 3–5 days. The increase in nitrogen fertilizers up to 60 kg/ha prolonged the vegetation of the studied bean varieties for 8–13 days. For the application of nitrogen fertilizers in the normal range from 45 to 60 kg/ha against the background of PK, the vegetation period was the same, both in the variants with and without inoculation. The introduction of nitrogen fertilizers in the normal range from 45 to 60 kg/ha on the background of PK resulted in inhibition of the nitrogenase activity of the tubers on the roots of the studied soybean varieties and the plant nutrition was carried out solely at the expense of mineral fertilizer forms.

У результаті польових досліджень було встановлено вплив попередників, системи удобрення і способів основного обробітку ґрунту на ураження рослин пшениці озимої кореневими гнилями в короткоротаційних сівозмінах зони недостатнього зволоження. Найбільше уражених рослин пшениці озимої кореневими гнилями виявилось в зернопросапній сівозміні, де попередником була сама пшениця, а також в зернопаропросапній сівозміні, де попередником був чорний пар. Найменше уражених кореневими гнилями рослин пшениці озимої (15,3–20,0 %) за найнижчої інтенсивності розвитку хвороби (5,8–7,3 %) спостерігали після кукурудзи на силос. Проведення поверхневого обробітку ґрунту на глибину 10–12 см під зернові культури, в тім числі й під пшеницю озиму, на фоні 6,25 т гною + N33,8Р45,0К33,8 + солома + гичка в просапній сівозміні після кукурудзи на силос спричинило найбільше ураження рослин пшениці кореневими гнилями (24,4 %) з підвищенням інтенсивності розвитку хвороби до величини 10,5 %. Проведення оранки під усі культури в просапній сівозміні за внесення за ротацію сівозміни з розрахунку на 1 га ріллі 6,25 т гною + N33,8Р45,0К33,8 + солома + гичка забезпечило найвищу урожайність зерна пшениці озимої – 4,39 т/га.

As a result of field studies, the effect of predecessors, fertilizer systems and methods of basic tillage on the damage of winter wheat plants by root rot in short-rotation crop rotations in the zone of inadequate moisture was established. The most affected wheat plants of winter rot was found in grain sown crop rotation, where the forerunner was the wheat itself, as well as in the grain-para-breeding crop rotation, where the black pairs were the precursor. The least affected by root rot of winter wheat plants (15.3–20.0 %) at the lowest intensity of disease (5.8–7.3 %) was observed after corn silage.

Conducting surface cultivation of soil at a depth of 10–12 cm under grain crops, including under winter wheat, against the background of 6.25 t of manure + N33.8R45.0K33.8 + straw + gill in the crop rotation after corn on silage caused most defeat of wheat plants by root rot (24.4 %) with an increase in the intensity of the disease to a value of 10.5 %. Providing plowing for all crops in the fertile crop rotation for rotation of crop rotation per hectare of arable land of 6.25 tons of manure + N33.8R45.0K33.8 + straw + lace ensured the highest yield of wheat of winter wheat – 4.39 tons/ha.

Встановлено, що за різних варіантів нефропатії та за розвитку печінково-ниркового і нирково-печінкового синдромів у свійських котів у печінці й нирках відбуваються значні структурні зміни, яким відповідають порушення метаболічних процесів, визначених за результатами клініко-мікроскопічних та біохімічних досліджень крові, а також у змінах площі волосяної кутикули (ПВК) шерстного покрову свійських котів. Методику визначення ПВК можна використовувати в диференційній діагностиці різних варіантів патології нирок і печінки в комплексі з клінічними, інструментальними та лабораторними дослідженнями, а також за диспансерного обстеження тварин даного виду. У статті наведено приклади різних варіантів патології із визначенням ПВК.

89 males and females of domestic cats, aged 2.5–10.0 years, were examined. It was established that under different variants of nephropathy and for the development of hepatic and renal hepatic syndromes in domestic cats in the liver and kidneys there are significant structural changes that is reflected in the disturbances of metabolic processes determined by the results of clinical and microscopic and biochemical studies of blood serum, as well as changes in the area of hair cuticle (AHC) of the wool cover of cats. The study of the cuticle was carried out using negative impressions on a nitrocellulose lacquer, which was applied to the slide glass. Hair was removed from him after lacquering. The resulting imprint was analyzed under Carl Zeiss Jena microscope (Ч 400) and set the AHC in the root zone and in the thickest part of the rod, expressing the result in nm2. In 40 % of clinically healthy cats, the size of the hair cuticle (AHC) is 8–9x104 nm2; in 60 % of animals – 10–17x104 nm2. Such a significant spread of indicators is due to different age of animals and the influence of the rock factor. It turned out that 100 % of clinically healthy cats do not have the values of AHC 6–7´104 nm2. The higher the AHC  (13х104 nm2 or higher), the less likely an animal is the shelter or the initial form of kidney disease, and there is not one-hundred percent polyorganic hepatic-renal or renal-hepatic pathology. For acute renal failure, AHC values are predominantly in the range of values 13–14´104 nm2, that is, they do not differ from the norm. For chronic renal insufficiency, the value of AHC is 6–10´104 nm2. In general, for kidney diseases, there are no AHC higher than 15 nm2. In polyorganic pathology in the form of hepatic-renal and renal-hepatic AHC syndromes in domestic cats, they are 6–12x104 nm2 and are not completely found outside the given range. In combination with the results of clinical and biochemical studies of blood serum, this technique allows differentiating syndromes depending on the primary link of the pathogenetic chain. It can be used for the dispensary examination of domestic cats, as well as for the study of the animals’ health of other species in normal and in pathology.
Кампілобактеріоз як важлива харчова токсикоінфекція
Authors: Пінчук Н. Г. , Пустовіт Н. А.
Published: July 2018

Харчові токсикоінфекції – це широка група гострих кишкових інфекцій, які розвиваються після вживання в їжу продуктів, інфікованих патогенними чи умовно-патогенними мікроорганізмами. Клінічно ці хвороби характеризуються раптовим початком, поєднанням синдромів інтоксикації, гастроентерита і обезводнення. Кампілобактеріоз (Сampylo­bacteriosis) – одна з найбільш актуальних задач гігієни харчування. Ця задача диктується необхідністю включення мікробіологічних досліджень в систему профілактики ГКІ, а також проведення моніторингу патогенних мікроорганізмів у харчових продуктах. У розвинених країнах світу пік захворюваності на Сampylobacter jejuni припадає на дитячий вік, але може спостерігатись у дорослішому віці. В організм людини кампілобактерії потрапляють частіше з контамінованими продуктами харчування тваринного походження. Забруднення води і їжі бактеріями роду Campylobacter, прямий контакт з інфікованими тваринами може бути  причиною виникнення гострих кишкових інфекцій.

Nutrition toxiconinfection is a wide group of acute intestinal infections that develop after eating foods infected with pathogens or opportunistic microorganisms. Clinically these diseases are characterized by sudden onset, the combination of intoxication syndromes, gastroenteritis and dehydration. Food-borne toxiconinfection occurs everywhere, which is due to the widespread spread of these pathogens in the environment. The highest morbidity is observed in economically developed countries of the world. In the general structure, acute intestinal infections occupy a dominant position, but their statistical record is imperfect. Therefore, it is not possible to fully assess the distribution of this group of diseases in the environment. Campylobacteriosis is one of the most urgent problems of food hygiene. This task is dictated by the necessity of incorporating microbiological research into the GKI prevention system, as well as the monitoring of pathogenic microorganisms in food products. In the developed world, the peak of the incidence of Smylobacter jejuni occurs in childhood, but it can also be seen in a larger adult age. Campylobacteriosis is characterized by polymorphism of clinical manifestations of infection. The most common form of infection is enterocolitis. Systemic lesions may also occur (septicemia, meningitis, cardiovascular disorders such as: thrombophlebitis, myocarditis, endocarditis, kidney and urinary tract, liver and gallbladder, nervous system: paresis, paralysis, polyneuritis, musculoskeletal system: arthritis, synovitis, bursitis) and neonatal pathology (septic abortions and preterm labor, accompanied by the development of septicemia, meningitis and enteritis in newborns). In humans, Campylobacteria come in more often with contaminated food products of animal origin. Water and food contamination with bacteria of the genus Campylobacter, direct contact with infected animals, it all can be the cause of the outbreak of acute intestinal infections.
