Published: July 2018

Competitive binding of binary mixed counterions to the headgroups of adsorbed surfactant films has been investigated at solution surfaces by total reflection X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. The obtained extended XAFS χ spectra for bromide counterions are linear combinations of the spectra of fully hydrated bromide ions (free Br) and partially dehydrated bromide ions bound to the headgroups of the surfactant ions (bound Br). From the fraction of bound Br in counterion mixed systems, two series of the relative strengths of counterion binding are proposed for the trimethylammonium (TA+) and 3-methylimidazolium (MIM+) headgroups: (a) TA–SO4 < TA–Cl < TA–Br < TA–BF4 and (b) MIM–Br < TA–Br < TA–BF4 < MIM–BF4. For the TA headgroup, matching the hydration of the headgroups and counterions gives series (a) according to Collins’ law, which states that the tendency of contact ion pair formation becomes larger when the absolute values of the hydration enthalpies of the ions match. For the MIM headgroup, the number of binding sites of hydrogen bonds between the MIM headgroup and counterion is essential, which leads to series (b) because of competition between the counterion and water for interaction with the MIM headgroup.

Published: July 2018

PtNi alloy nanoparticles prepared by unique nanocapsule method exhibited high oxygen reduction reaction activity in alkaline media. The catalytic activity was dependent much on the alloy composition. At the optimum composition (ca. 50 atom% of Ni), the mass activity was more than twice as high as that of pure Pt nanoparticles.
THE PRESENCE OF VARI - KIROU PIRA UNIT AT PANION HILL (SE ATTICA, GREECE)
Authors: Bassi Ε. Κ. , Soukis Κ. , Lekkas S.
Published: July 2018

Detailed mapping in the area of Panion Hill (SE Attica, Greece), revealed the existence of three metamorphosed lithological units which are separated by major tectonic contacts. The lower unit is located at the western part of Panion Hill and comprises marble - schist alternations that pass transitionally to massive dolomitic marbles of probable Thassic age. The intermediate unit comprises exclusively massive to thick bedded marbles that occupy the central and eastern part of the hill. The upper unit can be observed mainly at the foothills of Panion and comprises HP/LT schists, exhibiting greenschsist fades retrograde metamorphism. The contact between the lower and the intermediate unit is a low-angle normal fault, dipping to the east-southeast whereas the upper unit, in most cases is juxtaposed against the intermediate and lower units by high angle normal faults. These contacts accommodated the exhumation of the lowermost metamorphic formations of Attica at least in the last stages. The overall structure resembles that of Mt. Hymittos (east of Athens), where the Vari Schists and Dolomitic Marble formations (Vari - Kirou Pira Unit, VKPU) underlie tectonically the Lower Marble, Kesariani Schists and Upper Marble formations (Hymittos Unit, HU) Based on lithological and structural similarities the lower unit of Panion Hill is considered to be part of the Vari - Kirou Pira Unit and the intermediate unit part of the Hymittos Unit, respectively. The upper unit of Panion Hill belongs to the allochthonous Lavrion Unit. The existence of a major tectonic contact separating formations of VKPU and HU in several outcrops in SE Attica signifies that it is of no local character. Furthermore, it supports the suggestion of dividing the relatively autochthonous unit of Attica into two distinct units: the upper Hymittos Unit and the lower Vari - Kirou Pira Unit, the latter standing for the actual autochthonous unit of SE Attica.
GEODETIC EVIDENCE FOR ACTIVE UPLIFT OF THE OLYMBUS MT, GREECE
Authors: Stiros S. , Triantafillides P. , Chasapis A.
Published: July 2018

Repeated leveling data collected between 1964-1989 along a traverse crossing the Tempi Valley and the Olymbus Mt (Greece) domai uplift testify to a small, though significant (4-21 ±1.2- 4.7mm) bulging of the central part of the traverse relative to its edges. In combination with coastal observations indicating land uplift at the eastern part of the traverse, as well as with structural and engineering geology observations excluding the possibility the overall pattern of observed displacements to reflect local instability effects, leveling data probably indicate a small amplitude domai uplift. The later is likely to reflect the continuation of the process responsible for the formation of the Olymbus-Ossa Mts, for uncovering of upper mantle rocks and for the impressive incision in the Tempi Valley. Furthermore, the lack of seismicity during the period covered by leveling data indicates that the Olymbus uplift is at least partly associated with aseismic processes.
TECTONIC GEOMORPHOLOGY OF ESCARPMENTS: THE CASES OF KOMPOTADES AND ΝΕΑ ANCHIALOS FAULTS
Authors: Zovoili E. , Konstantinidi E. , Koukouvelas I. K.
Published: July 2018

Most active processes on the surface imply that tectonics and geomorphology converge in a way that landscape change may be used as a tectonic signal, given that erosion and weathering have been taken into account. We selected two faults, the Kompotades and the Nea Anchialos faults in the Sperchios and South Thessaly rift zones respectively, and we performed a morphometric analysis. This analysis comprises geomorphic indices that have been used successfully in studies of active tectonics, as the mountain front sinuosity index (Smf), stream gradient index (SL) and valley floor width to valley height ratio (Vf). At both studied mountain fronts, the Vf index ranged between 0,4 to 1,2, implying high uplift rates, while the Smf «1 index revealed relatively high tectonic activity, which decreases towards the west. On the other hand, the SL index though more sensitive to non-tectonic processes, (i.e. the rock resistance, stream length) is less indicative of tectonic activity. Based on the distribution of the geomorphic indices a two-fault strand model is suggested forming the mountain front in the two examples with the range-ward fault strand to be more appropriate for Kompotades fault and the basinward fault strand for Nea Anchialos fault.
THE LANDSLIDE IN THE AREA AGIA-ANNA OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF EUBOEA

Published: July 2018

On 20th February of 2003, an extensive landslide took place at the southern margins of the Agia-Anna village, in the northern Euboea. It caused a lot of material damages (buildings, cemetery and provincial road) and agony in the people of the village, as well as a lot of problems to their properties. In this paper it is described the phenomenon, the form of the landslide and the reasons which caused it, and the mechanism of the breaking and movement are also dilated. The main and secondary breakings of the earth, are extended in an area of 85-90 acres. Their direction is about N-S and the movements are generally directed to the eastern with a resultant ASA. The breakings depth must be not more than 3-4 meters. Most of them are of the order of 0,50-1,5 m and they are not continuous but interrupted. The breakings are usually in a straight line and are arrangement in steps like gravity faults. The length of a continuous breaking is between of 1 to 30 m. In the area where the breakings are noticed, the morphological dip of the soil, before the landslide had been happened, was of the order of 13 to 14%. The drainage basin in the same area is not big enough to concentrate substantial amount of water. Therefore, additional factors, must have also influenced it. It is estimated that these factors are: a. The imperfect drainage of the rain waters and soil saturation through the fissures, because of small landslides and creeps. b. It is possible that small faults (small metaneogenic gravity faults) with parallel direction to the slope, to have acted as sliding surface. The small faults (gravity faults of some cm) are not visible in the argillo-marlaceous material, but it is rumoured to be, comparatively with the obvious tectonic character of the area. c. The mineral constituents of the argillo-marlaceous neogenic sediments, especially the montmorillonite, chlorite, illite, kaolinite and swelling chlorite, as well as their mechanical features, have contributed substantially to the development of landslide. d. The possibility that the neogenic formations are supplied sideways with water, by the adjoining and underlying carbonate rocks, it is also examined.
GEOLOGICAL CONTROLS ON INTACT ROCK STRENGTH. THE EFFECT OF ANISOTROPY
Authors: Σαρόγλου χ. , Μαρίνος Π. , Τσιαμπάος Γ.
Published: July 2018

The factors that influence the strength and deformation of the intact rock are the mineral composition, the fabric, the grain size and the degree of alteration and weathering. Anisotropy is a characteristic of intact foliated metamorphic rocks (slates, gneisses, phyllites, schists). The current paper deals with the pronounced effect of the fabric of anisotropic rocks on the strength and deformation characteristics of intact rocks. It is part of ongoing research in the Department of Geotechnical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens. Testing was used to establish the anisotropic behaviour of selected metamorphic rocks. The effect of anisotropy on various mechanical properties (strength, deformation) and dynamic properties (wave velocity) was examined. The degree of strength anisotropy of these rocks can be indirectly estimated, by wave propagation through the rock, and thus they can be classified by means of geological and geotechnical indexes.
BEHAVIOR OF PINDOS FLYSCH DURING TUNNELLING THROUGH A THRUST ZONE. DEFORMATION AND ROCK BEHAVIOR. EXPIERENCE FROM THE ACHELOOS RIVER DIVERSION TUNNEL TO THESSALY.
Authors: Σφέικος A. Ν. , Μαρίνος Π. Γ.
Published: July 2018

The Acheloos diversion project consists of a series of reservoirs and a diversion tunnel. The tunnel has a designed internal diameter of 6m and a total length of ca. 17 400 m. Through the tunnel waters from the upper Achellos will be transferred to Thessaly. The project area belongs entirely to the Pindos zone. To the west (Mouzaki - Drakotrypa area) limestone, Jurassic chert and transitional strata (limestone and siltstone interchanges) overthrust sandstone and siltstone of the Pindos Flysch association (Paleogene). The thrust plane is well exposed and its geometrical features are clearly defined on the surface. Within silt- and sand- stones of the flysch, the developement of shear zones borders the thrust plane. Tunneling through limestone and chert advanced without specific problems. Tunneling through the flysch sequence slowed down the advancing rate. This was partially due to the composition and structure of the formation. The stand-up time was reduced due to compositional changes and the throughout development of shear zones. Heavy support measures were insalled and immediate monitoring began in the area where the thrust zone was developed. Data analysis and its results show that the rock formation remained into a dynamically active status. Four months after the excavation forces acting at the tunnel perimeter, exceeded the support measures bearing abilty causing tunnel radial convergence and the development of damages became visible. In this paper we describe tunneling conditions, the geology and the response of formations during excavation, as this was interpreted by monitoring data. We describe the damages caused as well as the counter measures applied in order to control and terminate the tunnel convergence.

Published: July 2018

In this paper the hydro geological conditions of the quaternary deposits of Doirani lake basin are represented. The surface and subsurface water balance for the years 1988-1990 are also calculated.During the period 1985-1998 decline of 3,77 m of the lake's level has been noticed. The fact that the lake does not appear to have any sign of restoration leads to many questions regarding to its existence, water balance, hydraulic conditions of the basin and the groundwater overexploretion Analyzing the available hydrological, geological, lithological data a water balance deficit of 101.23*106 m3 /year for the period 1988-1990 is calculated resulted from the groundwater overexploretion. At the same time the loss of water due to the decline of the lake's level have reached the amounts of 90.58*106 m3 /year.

Published: July 2018

This paper presents, reviews and evaluates the latest views and researches carried out on groundwater resources potential of the island of Crete. Data on the overall water budget of the island are provided, whilst information is also furnished on the actual water demands and the current percentage these are met. Comments and proposals are made towards further rational management of the documented rich groundwater potential of the island along with proposals on the utilization of the considerable surface runoff waters in the form of off-course basins and dams. The distinctiveness of the Water District of Crete, in comparison with the rest Districts of Greece, lays on the fact that it is the only one for which an Integrated Water Resources Management study exists that was compiled in the period 2000-2001. Elaboration of this study was assigned by the Regional Authority of Crete, Directorate for Planning and Development, Section of Water Resources Management, to the consorting consultancy firms of PAPAGRIGORIOU S., KAIMAKI S, PARLEROS V., PAPAGEORGIOU N, LAZARIDES and Ass., ATEM, with special scientific consultation from the firms ENVECO S.A. and WL/DELFT HYDRAULICS of Netherlands, on December 1999 following an international procurement.
APPLICATION OF TRECER METHODS AND HYDROCHEMICAL ANALYSIS ON THE KARST SYSTEM OF Ν . OSSA MOUNTAIN/NE -THESSALY
Authors: Σταμάτης Γ. , Ζαγγανά E.
Published: July 2018

In this paper the hydrogeological conditions of the north part of Ossa mountain are described. The research is focused on the karstic aquifer and the springs of its organic contamination are checked. Hydrochemical methods and tracer methods with NaCI and Uranine as tracers were applied. Regarding the inorganic chemical load, karstic waters show high quality status without any surface loading due to its dilution. Tracer tests reveal high groundwater flow velocity Va values ranging from 82 m/h to 146 m/h due to the intense karst and the existence of caves. Groundwater flow present NE direction and the discharge of karst aquifer take place in the Tempi value. The recorded contamination within the recharge area of the karstic springs is directly connected to anthropogenic impacts and incomplete water collection infrastructure. Actions for the aquifer protection must be taken the soonest possible.

Os resultados mostraram que as gestantes identificaram a mensuração de dados vitais, as orientações e as reuniões educativas como ações da assistência pré-natal realizadas pelo enfermeiro e reconheceram a importância destas. Consideraram que os conselhos, esclarecimento de dúvidas e a tranquilidade transmitida pelos enfermeiros durante as consultas do pré-natal como fundamentais para o desenvolvimento da gestação. Conclui-se que apesar das gestantes reconhecerem a importância das ações realizadas pelo enfermeiro durante o pré-natal é necessário que esses profissionais busquem estratégias para melhorar a assistência às gestantes no sentido de reforçar as ações de educação em saúde e a criação de vínculo entre à gestante e o serviço de saúde.
“Uma teoria experimental dos quanta de luz” de Louis de Broglie: uma tradução comentada
Authors: Barros Alexsandro De Almeida , Barros Marcos Antonio
Published: July 2018

Este artigo apresenta e discute uma das comunicações escritas em língua inglesa, enviada a Philosophical Magazine pelo físico francês Louis de Broglie, em 1924, intitulada “A tentative theory of light quanta”. No referido trabalho, de Broglie traz uma síntese das ideias tratadas em outros três artigos publicados em francês e propõe a elaboração de uma teoria dualística para a luz, enquanto explicação para muitos fenômenos que não podiam ser corretamente explicados pelas teorias ondulatória e corpuscular, se isoladas. Além de discutir resultados já conhecidos pela comunidade científica de sua época, os trabalhos de de Broglie apresentam ideias totalmente originais, embora já contivessem conceitos que são cruciais para a explicação de muitos fenômenos conhecidos atualmente (a exemplo do laser). Acreditamos que este material possa servir de suporte para a discussão dos principais aspectos dos trabalhos iniciais de de Broglie, haja vista que algumas de suas ideias são ainda adotadas, atualmente, e constituem parte dos conteúdos de física moderna e contemporânea.

Published: July 2018

No Brasil, mais de 12 milhões de mulheres são diagnosticadas com lesões cervicais pré-cancerosas de acordo com o Grupo de Infecções e Epidemiologia do Câncer (IARC's). Esta doença que retira mulheres de suas rotinas diárias e pode levar a óbito é evitada através de vacinas. É iminente que os profissionais de saúde estejam preparados para contribuir com a diminuição desses números alarmantes. A evidência de que a prevenção está a alcance de cada indivíduo motivou a pesquisa quanto a situação vacinal em acadêmicas de Medicina no Rio de Janeiro.  Um breve levantamento bibliográfico de pesquisas semelhantes no país constatou que grande parte dos investigados não tomaram a vacina contra o Papiloma Vírus  Humano (HPV). Este trabalho se une com resultados prévios e corrobora com um cenário de desinformação e falta de prevenção por parte de acadêmicos e profissionais da saúde. O material de investigação consistiu em um questionário respondido por  390 acadêmicas, com idade média de 26 anos, a fim de avaliar  o status de vacinação contra  o HPV. É uma revisão integrativa, exploratória- descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa.  Os resultados mostraram que 79% das acadêmicas  não foram vacinados contra HPV. Este estudo direciona a Universidade para uma ação de conscientização sobre o perigo de contrair o HPV e o potencial risco de desenvolver o câncer. A partir dos resultados serão estabelecidos formulários de campanha preventiva na Universidade para difundir a importância de reduzir a incidência de HPV e tornar futuros médicos multiplicadores dessas ações.
Helping kittens to become confident cats – why they and their owners need the support of the veterinary team. Part 1: genetic barriers
Authors: Hargrave Claire
Published: July 2018

As a companion animal, the cat (10.3 million) has overtaken the dog (9.3 million) for top position in popularity in the U.K. Yet, when compared with the canine companion, the cat has lived in close proximity to man for a relatively short period of time. Has this shorter period for domestication affected the nature of the cat's level of domesticity? If there are limitations to the level of behavioural flexibility that companion cats can offer, whose responsibility is it to assist a cat in maximising that flexibility? This article considers these questions with specific emphasis on how the cat's genetics can place considerable restrictions on its capacity to relax with and interact with other cats, humans and a human environment.
Effectiveness of providing a box, or partially covering the cage front, on reducing cat stress
Authors: Wright Charlie , Baugh Stephen
Published: July 2018

Background:

To reduce stress of hospitalised cats, literature advises providing cats with the opportunity to hide using either a box, or partially covering the cage front. While studies have found benefits of the box method, there is currently no evidence for efficacy of the partial cover.

Aim:

To investigate whether providing hospitalised cats with either a box or a partial towel cover to the front of the cage reduced stress levels, and whether each of these methods was sufficient in prodiving hiding opportunity.

Methods:

To investigate this, 42 healthy pet cats that were admitted to a veterinary practice for routine neutering were provided with either a hide box, a partial towel cover to the front of the cage or neither treatment. Behavioural observations were taken for 60 minutes recording: 1) Kessler and Turner's Cat Stress Score (CSS), 2) Location within the cage, 3) Hide seeking behaviour, and 4) Use of treatment.

Results:

The results showed a significant difference in CSS between cats with a box and the control cats (p=0.007), but not between cats with towel cover and the control cats (p=0.069). There was no significant difference in CSS between box cats and towel cats (p=0.406), but those with a box hid in it 68% of the time, significantly more than the towel cats used the towel (n=30%) (p=0.027). There was a significant difference in hide seeking behaviour between all treatments (p=0.016). A positive correlation was found between CSS and hide seeking behaviour within all groups (rs=0.673), and this was stronger when analysed in control cats only (rs=0.829).

Conclusions:

Findings suggest that a box provides opportunity to hide and appears to reduce behavioural signs of stress. Though a partial cover may also help, there is not significant evidence for its efficacy in providing hiding opportunity or reducing stress.

Cinsel içerikli olup davranışın sergilendiği kişi tarafından istenmeyen her davranış cinsel taciz olarak adlandırılır. Cinsel
tacizler, ilkokul yıllarından itibaren, okullarda bir sorun olarak kendini
gösterir ve mağdurları üzerinde hem fiziksel hem de psikolojik etkiler bırakır.
Eğitim yaşantılarını ve dolayısıyla kariyer yaşantılarını olumsuz etkileyecek
neticeler doğurabilir. Konuya ilişkin yapılan çalışmalar, idareci ve
öğretmenlerin cinsel taciz konusunda yeterince bilgi sahibi olmadıklarını göstermiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ilkokullarda yaşanan cinsel tacizlere yönelik
olarak okul idarecileri ve rehber öğretmenlerin deneyim ve uygulamalarını araştırmaktır.
Bu amaçla nitel bir araştırma yoluyla 10 ilkokul müdürü ve 10 rehber öğretmenle yarı yapılandırılmış
görüşmeler gerçekleştirilerek veriler toplanmıştır. Bulgular, cinsel tacizin okullarda
yaygın bir şekilde gerçekleştiğine işaret etmiştir. Okul idarecileri ve rehber
öğretmenlerin, cinsel taciz olaylarında mağdur ve tacizci öğrencilere yönelik
yaptıkları çalışmaların yetersiz olduğu belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların lisans eğitimleri esnasında ve öğretmenlik yaşantıları boyunca cinsel
tacize ilişkin bir eğitim almadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcılar okullarda cinsel tacizlerin önlenebilmesi için
uzmanlarca öğrencilere, ailelere ve öğretmenlere bu konuda eğitim verilmesi

Everyday Mysticism
Authors: Glucklich Ariel
Published: July 2018

Everyday Mysticism is a close look at a school for the study of the self in the deep Israeli desert. The school, which was established in the community of Neot Smadar in 1989, assumes the external form of a kibbutz, but is a contemplative community for individuals who seek to become aware of the devastating effects of mechanical thinking. The author spent several summers working in the community and describes, as a participant, the way that contemplative practice—everyday mysticism—shapes the work environment, the community structure and human relationships. The book also provides detailed examples of the spiritual work that was instituted by the founder of the school, Yossef Safra, whose vision is compared with ancient Buddhist and Hindu philosophers. That spiritual work takes place in conversations and dialogues where participants practice the art of listening as a meditative discipline while also learning to observe in fine detail the working of the conscious mind. These contemplative practices define the nature of community of Neot Smadar as an extended family were everyday mysticism prevails.

Published: July 2018

Freedom’s Debtors is a history of the British movement to abolish the slave trade, told through the lens of the history of early colonial Sierra Leone. After the abolition of the British slave trade in 1807, Sierra Leone became the judicial, military, and economic capital of British efforts to interdict slave ships. British antislavery, widely seen as a great sacrifice of economic and political capital on the altar of humanitarianism, was in fact profitable, militarily useful, and crucial to the expansion of British power in West Africa. The colony was closely connected to the elite leaders of the abolitionist movement in Britain, and became closely identified with their business interests. This history of the abolition of the British slave trade in Sierra Leone offers insight into how antislavery policies were used to justify colonialism and reframes a moment considered a watershed in British public morality as the beginning of morally ambiguous and exploitative colonial history. From Sierra Leone, it is easier to see British antislavery as it really was: acquisitive, devoted to coercive and gradual schemes for emancipation, militarised, and shot through with imperial ambitions.
The Townshend Moment
Authors: Griffin Patrick
Published: July 2018

This book chronicles the attempts of brothers Charles and George Townshend to control the forces of history in the heady days after Britain's mythic victory over France in the mid-eighteenth century, and the historic and unintended consequences of their efforts. As British chancellor of the exchequer in 1767, Charles Townshend instituted fiscal policy that served as a catalyst for American rebellion against the Crown, while his brother George's actions at the same moment as lord lieutenant of Ireland politicized the kingdom, leading to Irish legislative independence. This fascinating study is the first to consider as a linked history the influence of two all-but-forgotten brothers, both of whom rose to national prominence in the same year. The book vividly reconstructs the many worlds the Townshends moved through and explores how their shared conception of an empire that could harness the wealth of America to the manpower of Ireland initiated an age of revolution.
Justice and Empathy
Authors: Burt Robert A.
Published: July 2018

The Supreme Court long considered its highest mission to be the protection of individual liberty from intrusion by government, but the court shifted its focus to social and economic equality. This book explores this shift and its implications, especially for the legal protection of the vulnerable. Crucial to the author's perspective is an unconventional view of the role of judges—not simply to decide disputes, but to promote a respectful dialogue leading to a genuine understanding between parties. The U.S. Constitution, through its interpretation by the U.S. Supreme Court, deals with the protection of vulnerable people in American society. It focuses on the judge not as the sole determiner of equality or protection but as a leader who, through careful observation and guidance, promotes an interactive process among the parties in order to settle the matter in an empathic, mutually respectful way. The book points out that judges are not the only actors through whom democratic values founded on empathic mutual respect and accountability can be promoted. At the center of this study is the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
Catholics on the Barricades
Authors: Kosicki Piotr H.
Published: July 2018

This book tells a sweeping story of how Catholics from France and Poland wrestled throughout the first half of the twentieth century with a series of earth-shattering challenges to their worldview: the Industrial Revolution, the displacement of dynastic empires by democratic republics, republicanism’s subsequent collapse between the world wars, occupation and genocide by Nazi Germany, and the birth and expansion of the Soviet Union and its Communist proxy regimes. Faced with the ascendancy of both nationalism and Marxism across Europe, Catholic intellectuals found common ground in the pursuit of a just society on earth. Catholics on the Barricades reconstructs the projects forged across multiple generations, spanning from the 1890s through the 1950s. Declaring Catholic “revolution,” France’s and Poland’s Catholic intellectuals ended up serving twin evils: first exclusionary (or integral) nationalism, and then Stalinism as well. To explain this paradox, Catholics on the Barricades offers a conceptual history of “revolution.” After World War II, anti-fascist bona fides led these intellectuals to give the benefit of the doubt to Communist regimes in Eastern Europe—if not actively involve themselves in those regimes’ construction. In addition to peace and personhood, French and Polish Catholics were united by a shared fear of Germany. Their anti-Germanism built on, and preserved, long-standing anti-Semitism. Catholic “revolution,” then, was poisoned from the outset. And yet, its legacy ultimately inspired a turn to dialogue and solidarity, which—fleeting though it has proven to be—helped to bring down the Iron Curtain.
Regulating Sex in the Roman Empire
Authors: Wheeler-Reed David
Published: July 2018

Engaging with Foucault’s ideas on sexuality, this book demonstrates how conservative organizations and the Supreme Court have misunderstood Christian beliefs on marriage and the family. It challenges the long-held assumption that American values are based on “Judeo-Christian” norms, by comparing ancient Christian discourses on marriage and sexuality with contemporary ones, maintaining that modern family values owe more to Roman Imperial beliefs than to the Bible. Ultimately, this book undermines the conservative ideology of the family, starting from the position that early Christianity, in its emphasis on celibacy and denunciation of marriage, was in opposition to procreation, the ideological norm in the Greco-Roman world.

BACKGROUND

Genomic information can help to identify colorectal tumors with high and low metastatic potential, thereby improving prediction of benefit of local and/or systemic treatment. Here we investigated chromosomal aberrations in relation to the different stages of the metastatic cascade: dissemination of tumor cells into the mesenteric vein, metastatic outgrowth in the liver, intravasation of the peripheral blood circulation, and development of further distant metastasis.

METHODS

Peripheral and mesenteric blood from colorectal cancer patients (n = 72) were investigated for circulating tumor cells, and DNA extracted from their primary tumors was subjected to array comparative genomic hybridization profiling. The results were validated with an independent set of primary colorectal tumors (n = 53) by quantitative reverse transcription PCR.

RESULTS

Mesenteric intravasation and liver metastasis were correlated with losses of chromosomes 16p (72%), 16q (27%), and 19 (54%), gain along 1q31 (45%) and 20q (60%), tumor cell infiltration into the peripheral blood circulation, and further distant metastasis with gain of chromosome 8q (59%) and 12 (47%, P < 0.01). Chromosome 12 gain was associated with poor overall survival in the initial (2.8 vs >7 years) and validation cohort (3.3 vs >6 years). The prospective study presented here is a hypothesis-generating study and confirmation with larger cohorts is required.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first study that investigated colorectal cancer in its different stages of metastasis in correlation with copy number changes of the primary tumor. This information might be helpful to identify patients with limited metastatic spread who may profit from liver metastasis resection and may lead to the discovery of new therapeutic targets.

The aims of the reported multinational open study were to estimate the influence of subcutaneous injections of 20 mkg daily Teriparatide on bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and proximal femur, the markers of bone metabolism, the quality of life as well as the safety of treatment. Duration of the treatment period was one year.
Fifty postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (L1-L4 T-score mean -3,2±0,6 SD) were enrolled in the study. 70,8% of patients had fragility fractures. Forty four patients (78%) remained until the end of the study. BMD was detected by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) («Prodigy», Lunar and «Hologic» 4500 W) at the lumbar spine (L1-L4) and proximal femur with converting to the standardized BMD. Bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and osteocalcin (OC) were measured as markers of bone formation and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide (CTX) were measured in serum as a marker of bone resorption.
The significant increase in BMD was found at the lumbar spine (L1-L412,5±6,6%), whereas BMD at the proximal femur did not change significantly. The levels of markers of bone metabolism were increased after 3 months of the treatment and to the end of the study were 192,2%; 385%; 526,3% higher versus the baseline levels for BAP, OC., CTX consequently. There was also found a significant improvement in the quality of life of the patients which was estimated by EQ-5D inquirer at the baseline visit and at the end of the study. The adverse effects, which were related to the teriparatide injections, were observed in 44% of the patients. Due to the adverse effects Tereiparatide was cancelled for 6 (12%) patients. In other cases the adverse effects were slight and the cancellation of treatment was not required.
Conclusions: The daily injections of Teriparatide (20 mkg) during 1 year provide the significant increase in BMD at the lumbar spine for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis as well as the early increase in the bone turnover rate. Treatment with Teriparatide improves the quality of life for women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. The daily injections of Teriparatide during 1 year are well tolerated and safe.

Hypogonadism is the most popular cause of BMD decreasing not only in women, but also in men. There are several studies showed a correlation between duration of hypogonadism and BMD reducing degree.

Despite wide light exposure of osteoporosis problem at women with hyperprolactinemia, there are a few researches devoted to the same question at men.

The aim of our study was to assess the biochemical parameters of bone metabolism and the bone mineral density (BMD) in men with tumoral and not tumoral hyperprolactinemia.

In 24 men with hyperprolactinemia and 17 healthy controls we evaluated BMD, serum osteocalcin (OK) and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), as well as calcium total, ionized calcium and alkaline phosphatase. All men with hyperprolactinemia were also studied after 24 months of cabergoline treatment.

The results showed significant differences between study groups in BMD of vertebra and femur bone (p = 0,000052 up = 0,002718). We confirm increasing of BMD in vertebra and femur bone after cabergoline treatment (p = 0,003 и p = 0,027).

Aim: to assess compliance to osteoporosis (OP) prophylaxis recommendations and its influence on mineral bone density (BMD) and development of comorbid diseases in postmenopause.
Methods: prospective cohort study included 404 postmenopausal women aged from 47 to 59 with OP risk
factors. BMD was assessed by distant forearm X-ray absorptiometry. Comorbid diseases were registered. Compliance to recommendations was assessed by questionnaire..
Results. Group 1 consisted of 276 non-compliant women. Group 2 (128 persons) changed their lifestyle and consumed recommended amount of daily calcium and vitamin D. Group 1 demonstrated significant increase of coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure and a fraction of persons in whom BMD decreased during 2 years of survey(x2 = 6.986; P = 0.017).. Relative risk of arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure and glucose metabolism disorders significantly decreased in group 2.
Comclusion: constant co-operation between doctors and patients is necessary to keep the patient compliant and to obtain clinically relevant results in OP prophylaxis.

Published: July 2018

Objectives: to assess the absolute fracture risk in outpatients with osteoporosis (OP) at distant radius. Methods: individual absolute fracture risk was assessed using FRAX tool without hip neck bone mineral density (BMD) input in 3082 subsequent subjects (2911 females and 171 males) aged from 40 to 95 (median age 60), calculated by Finnish population data. Distant radius BMD was estimated in all patients by DTX200. Results: 774 (25.1 %) patients had had history of low traumatic fractures. BMD≤- .5 SD was detected in 1659 cases, fracture history in 558 (33.6%) of them (OR = 2.21; 95 % CI 1.93-2.55). Median 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture was 4.90 % (25- 75 %; 1.10 - 55.0) and 10-year probability of a hip fracture was 0.8 % (0 - 46), absolute risk 10 % and higher was detected in 434 (64,3 %) patients. Calculated 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture > 10 % was associated with previous low traumatic fractures: OR = 4,55; 95 % CI 4,06- 5,10, test sensitivity being 56.1 % with specificity 89.6 % . The same association was found for 10-year probability of hip fracture >3 %: OR = 3.57 (3.19 - 4.00), test sensitivity being 51,6 % with specificity 86,7 %. Conclusion: FRAX tool for individual absolute fracture risk assessment should be introduced into general practice for clinical decision making in prophylaxis of OP associated fractures.
