The philosophy of nature as a springboard into social realism: about Ibsen's Emperor and Galilean and a post-secular interpretation of the drama by Hilda Hellwig
Authors: Hamrin-Dahl Tina
Published: August 2018

Friedrich von Schelling was a significant cultural influence when Henrik Ibsen lived in Germany in the 1850s. However, because of Schelling’s Naturphilosophie, which stood out as irreconcilable with the scientific philosophy of the positivists, Schelling came to be more and more neglected after the mid-nineteenth century. His pronounced idealism, belief in God, and metaphysical comments were branded ‘old-fashioned’ soon after his death. Today, Schelling is mentioned in contexts where ideas about ‘mindfulness’ are of importance. In 1979 a clinic for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was founded and although originally articulated as an element of Buddhism, it is pointed out by committed practitioners that there is nothing inherently religious about mindfulness. It is however about integrating the healing aspects of Buddhist meditation practices with the concept of psychological awareness and healing. To a high degree in Western countries, psychotherapists have adapted and developed mindfulness techniques. When it comes to metaphysics, Schelling’s influence on the religious ideas that were accepted by Ibsen was never acknowledged. This text will throw some light upon Schelling as a source of inspiration for Ibsen and his milieu. Is it so, that Schelling’s ideas not until our ‘post-secular’ epoch have come into their own? Ibsen producers and actors are familiar with ‘New World Mindfulness’ and the history of mindfulness in the West.
Body-mind unity and the spiritual dimension of Modern Postural Yoga
Authors: Kapsali Maria
Published: August 2018

This article is concerned with the connection between body and mind that the practice of yoga is expected to develop and it aims specifically to examine the relationship between this body–mind connection and the spiritual dimension of yoga practice. The article particularly focuses on contemporary forms of yoga. Since these forms feature predominantly the practice of yoga postures or asanas, the term Modern Postural Yoga is employed.The phenomenological approach renders yoga ahistorical and ostensibly concentrates on the individual and her experience. The cultural materialist viewpoint cannot account for the ways in which yoga can act as a technique for empowerment and spiritual cultivation. More importantly, both currents seem to exist as possibilities within the same class,even within the same body.
Is the shaman indeed risen in post-Soviet Siberia?
Authors: Sundström Olle
Published: August 2018

In his exhaustive study of ‘shamanism’ among the Altaic peoples in Southern Siberia, the renowned Soviet ethnographer Leonid P. Potapov contends that ‘under the present conditions there are no remnants or survivals of Shamanism as such left in Altai’. What remains are legends and reminiscences, but these can no longer be told by people with personal experiences of Altaic ‘shamans’ and their rituals. According to Potapov, modern socialist culture has changed the minds of the Altaic peoples to the degree that they are now a materialistically thinking people, and ‘shamanism’ has completely disappeared. In addition, he contends that there are no prospects of its return after the deathblow dealt by Soviet anti-religious repression in the 1930s ‘shamanic’ rituals were forbidden and ritual paraphernalia such as drums and costumes were expropriated by the authorities. Considering that Potapov in his study follows Altaic ‘shamanism’ through 1500 years, depicting it as a ‘religion’ and ‘theology’ which stayed more or less intact over the centuries, his statement seems more like a pious hope based on the Soviet vision of a society liberated from superstition, religion, and spiritual exploitation. Potapov himself delineates Altaic ‘shamanism’s’ development from a ‘state religion’to a ‘folk religion’. From this perspective it might seem remarkable that ‘shamanism’ should not have survived 70 years of atheist repression, missionary work and the Soviet transformation of society. Already by the time Potapov’s book was published, during the very last months of the existence of the Soviet Union, there had, in fact, appeared a number of persons claiming to be ‘shamans’, with an ancestry dating from the time of ‘shamans’ of the first half of the twentieth century. These individuals were also part of organisations and movements promoting the revival of ‘shamanism’ in the autonomous Altai Republic. In other parts of the former Soviet Union similar processes took place. Today, in post-Soviet Altai, as well as in many other parts of Siberia, shamanism exists in the same sense that there is Buddhism, Christianity and Islam in the region.
Esoteric Theravada Buddhism in Burma/Myanmar
Authors: Foxeus Niklas
Published: August 2018

The achievement of independence in 1948 was in many ways a watershed in Burma’s history. At this time, a variety of Buddhist movements emerged that were part not only of a ‘Burmese Buddhist revival’, in which even the government was involved, but also a general re-enchantment of Asia. In the period following World War II, projects of nation-building and further modernization were implemented in many newly independent Asian nation states. The theories of modernization adopted by the rulers had presupposed that a new, rationalized and secularized order that had set them on the path of ‘progress’ would entail a decline of religion. However, instead there was a widespread resurgence of religion, and a variety of new, eclectic religious movements emerged in Southeast Asia. In the thriving religious field of postcolonial Burma, two lay Buddhist movements associated with two different meditation techniques emerged, viz.; the insight meditation movement and the concentration meditation movement. The latter consisted of a variety of esoteric congregations combining concentration meditation with esoteric lore, and some of these were characterized by fundamentalist trends. At the same time, the supermundane form of Buddhism became increasingly influential in the entire field of religion. The aim of the present article is to discuss how this supermundane dimension has reshaped the complex religious field in Burma, with particular emphasis on the esoteric congregations; to present the Burmese form of esoteric Theravāda Buddhism, and to situate the fundamentalist trends which are present in these contexts.
Ecotheology and the theology of eating: controversies and convergencies
Authors: Pihkala Panu
Published: August 2018

Environmental theology (or, ecotheology) developed slowly during the first half of the twentieth century and has become a major field of study since the late 1960s. While many of the issues discussed in ecotheological works have included consequences for food production and eating habits, these themes were often not explicitly discussed. The reasons for this are interesting and complex. Issues related to food have been culturally very sensitive and have manifold connections to religiosity. In regard to the discussion about the rights and value of animals, controversies have been seen to arise between ecotheology and ‘animal theology’. Recently, a new interest  has arisen in the themes of food, eating, and Christian theology, which has resulted in a new field of literature which could be called the ‘theology of eating’. This article gives an overview of the relations between these fields, with an emphasis on both early ecotheology and new literature about the theology of eating.
Religion and diet in a multi-religious city: a comprehensive study regarding interreligious relations in Tbilisi in everyday life and on feast days

Food in African Brazilian Candomblé
Authors: Souza Patricia
Published: August 2018

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of food in the rituals of African Brazilian Candomblé, as well as in its cosmovision (world view). A brief description of Candomblé’s historical trajectory is provided in order to show how food offerings became part of its rituals and how specific ingredients became symbolically significant in this belief system. According to the theories applied, it is possible that food has at least two functions in Candomblé: to materialize principles and also to work as a ritual language. To show the role of food in Candomblé the state of Bahia was taken as a case study – firstly because Candomblé started there and secondly because, as this article shows, the sacred foods of Candomblé are also consumed in everyday life, outside of religious situations, but just as importantly constituting a part of Bahian cultural identity. The dishes that feature in the ritualised meals and at the same time in Bahians’ everyday eating are described at the conclusion of the article, with a mention of their ingredients and to whom they are offered. The research sources included publications by Candomblé believers and scholars of religion, as well as cooks and journalists specialising in Bahian cuisine.
What does it mean to ‘eat Jewishly?’: authorizing discourse in the Jewish food movement in Toronto, Canada
Authors: Mulhern Aldea
Published: August 2018

This article examines the development of ‘eating Jewishly’ among participants at Shoresh Jewish Environmental Programs in Toronto, Canada. Participants at Shoresh construct and draw upon Jewish tradition in order to resolve gaps between the is and the ought of the conventional food system, and to a lesser extent, the narrower food system of kashrut. ‘Eating Jewishly’ re-positions religious orthodoxy as one in a set of authorizing discourses, subsuming all Jewish eating acts under one rubric. ‘Eating Jewishly’ thus departs from standard narratives of Jewish eating as either eating kosher, or eating traditional Jewish foods. I use a theory of authorizing discourse to show the conditions of possibility through which Shoresh develops their intervention as Jewish. I conclude that such authorization practices are a key form of productive constraint in the formation of Shoresh’s lived religion, and in the formation of religion as a framework for social good.
Mysticism, historical and contemporary
Authors: Edsman Carl-Martin
Published: August 2018

An evident experience of God's presence is the basis for all religion. Mysticism is considered to be piety in so far as primary importance is attached to inner religious experience, to religion as occurring in the soul. Mysticism is pure religious introversion. The special religious experience of mysticism, its epistemology and its ascetic ethics or technique, occur with startling likeness in widely different times and types of religion. This does not, however, exclude a multitude of variations and differences. The way of mysticism includes different stages, but the state which generally distinguishes mystical experience is ecstasy or rapture. It is, however, often impossible to isolate this from the preparatory physical and spiritual training and even less from the revolutionary consequences for the whole life of the mystic. It can result in complete devotion to the service of one's neighbour, and the not infrequent accusation that the mystic gives himself up to a selfish and anti-social enjoyment of God is not entirely justified.

Published: August 2018

Planificar las situaciones de enseñanza-aprendizaje supone tomar decisiones vinculadas al qué, cómo y con qué enseñar y evaluar. El desafío más grande con el que se encuentra el futuro profesor en las prácticas de residencia es el diseño de las clases, no sólo para motivar, sino para que los alumnos comprendan los fenómenos físicos o químicos que se están trabajando en el aula de ciencias. En este trabajo se muestran algunas secuencias de actividades usadas por practicantes de los profesorados de Física y de Química, en aulas de escuelas secundarias. Se presenta el análisis de las consignas, desde la enseñanza para la comprensión, discriminando los desempeños de comprensión de la física o la química presentes en cada actividad. Este análisis es considerado relevante porque hace tomar conciencia al profesor de qué se espera del alumno para asegurarnos que aprende, asumiendo que aprender en ciencias naturales es comprender el modelo involucrado para explicar un determinado fenómeno.

Is Teacher Sorting a Global Phenomenon? Cross-National Evidence on the Nature and Correlates of Teacher Quality Opportunity Gaps
Authors: Luschei Thomas F. , Jeong Dong Wook
Published: August 2018

Although substantial evidence from the United States suggests that more qualified teachers are disproportionately concentrated in the schools and classrooms of academically and socioeconomically advantaged children, it is not clear whether the problem of teacher sorting is global in scope. This study uses data from the 2013 Teaching and Learning International Survey to examine whether and how school- and classroom-level teacher distribution patterns vary across 32 education systems with diverse national contexts and education policies. We find that cross- and within-school teacher sorting is common in most countries but within-school sorting is more pronounced in higher income countries. We also identify several national policy variables that are significantly related to both cross-school and cross-classroom sorting of teachers.

Dengue virus is one of virus that cause deadly disease was dengue fever. This virus was transmitted through bite of Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes that gain virus infected by taking food from infected human blood, then mosquitoes transmited pathogen to susceptible humans. Suppressed the
spread and growth of dengue fever was important to avoid and prevent the increase of dengue virus sufferer and casualties. This problem can be solved with studied important factors that affected the spread and equity of disease by sensitivity index. The purpose of this research were to modify mathematical model the spread of dengue fever be SEIRS-ASEI type, to determine of equilibrium point, to determined of basic reproduction number, stability analysis of equilibrium point, calculated sensitivity index, to analyze sensitivity, and to simulate numerical on modification model. Analysis of model obtained disease free equilibrium (DFE) point and endemic equilibrium point. The numerical simulation result had showed that DFE, stable if the basic reproduction number is less than one and endemic equilibrium point was stable if the basic reproduction number is more than one.
A grey area: How does image hue affect unfamiliar face matching?
Authors: Bobak Anna K , Mileva Viktoria Roumenova , Hancock Peter
Published: August 2018

The role of image colour in face identification has received little attention in research despite the importance of identifying people from photographs in identity documents (IDs). Here, in two experiments, we investigated whether colour congruency of two photographs shown side by side affects face matching accuracy. Participants were presented with two images from the Models Face Matching Test (Experiment 1) and a newly devised matching task incorporating female faces (Experiment 2) and asked to decide whether they show the same person, or two different people. The photographs were either both in colour, both in grayscale, or mixed (one in grayscale and one in colour). Participants were more likely to accept a pair of images as a “match”, i.e. same person, in the mixed condition, regardless of whether the identity of the pair was the same or not. This demonstrates a clear shift in bias between “congruent” colour conditions and the mixed trials. In addition, there was a small decline in accuracy in the mixed condition, relative to when the images were presented in colour. Our study provides the first evidence that the hue of document photographs matters for face matching performance. This finding has important implications for the design and regulation of photographic ID worldwide.
When Averaging Goes Wrong: The Case for Mixture Model Estimation in Psychological Science
Authors: Moreau David , Corballis Michael
Published: August 2018

Recent failed attempts to replicate numerous findings in psychology have raised concerns about methodological practices in the behavioral sciences. More caution appears to be required when evaluating single studies, while systematic replications and meta-analyses are being encouraged. Here, we provide an additional element to this ongoing discussion, by proposing that typical assumptions of meta-analyses be substantiated. Specifically, we argue that when effects come from more than one underlying distributions, meta-analytic averages extracted from a series of studies can be deceptive, with potentially detrimental consequences. The underlying distribution properties, we propose, should be modeled, based on the variability in a given population of effect sizes. We describe how to test for the plurality of distribution modes adequately, how to use the resulting probabilistic assessments to refine evaluations of a body of evidence, and discuss why current models areinsufficient in addressing these concerns. We also consider the advantages and limitations of this method, and demonstrate how systematic testing could lead to stronger inferences. Additional material with details regarding all the examples, algorithm, and code is provided online, to facilitate replication and to allow broader use across the field of psychology.
The interplay between semantic control processes and feature relevance: Evidence from dual task methodology
Authors: Montefinese Maria , Hallam Glyn , Thompson Hannah , Jefferies Beth
Published: August 2018

Neuropsychological studies suggest a distinction between (i) semantic knowledge and (ii) control processes that shape the retrieval of conceptual information to suit the task or context. These aspects of semantic cognition are specifically impaired in patients with semantic dementia and semantic aphasia respectively. However, interactions between the structure of knowledge and control processes that are expected during semantic retrieval have not been fully characterised. In particular, domain-general executive resources may not have equal relevance for the capacity to promote weak yet relevant features (i.e., “controlled retrieval), and to ignore or suppress distracting information (i.e., “selection”). Here, using a feature selection task, we tested the contribution of featural relevance to semantic performance in healthy participants under conditions of divided attention. Healthy participants showed greater dual-task disruption as the relevance value of the distracter feature linearly increased, supporting the emerging view that semantic relevance is one of the organizing principles of the structure of semantic representation. Moreover, target relevance, word frequency and inter-correlational strength affected overall performance, but they did not show an interaction with dual-task conditions. These results suggest that domain-general control processes, disrupted by divided attention, are more relevant to the capacity to efficiently avoid distracting information during semantic decision-making than to the promotion of weak target features. The present study therefore provides novel information about the nature of the interaction between structured conceptual knowledge and control processes that support the retrieval of appropriate information, and relates these results to a new theoretical framework, termed controlled semantic cognition.
Introduction: For Better or For Worse? Relational Landscapes in the Time of Same-Sex Marriage
Authors: Yarbrough Michael W.
Published: August 2018

This paper is a pre-print version of the introduction chapter to the edited volume, Queer Families and Relationships After Marriage Equality, published with Routledge in 2018. As same-sex marriage has become a legal reality in a rapidly growing list of countries, the time has come to assess what this means for families and relationships on the ground. Many scholars have already begun to examine how marriage is helping some same-sex couples, but in this introduction I call for a broader and more critical research agenda. In particular, I argue that same-sex marriage crystallizes a key tension surrounding families and relationships in many contemporary societies. On the one hand, strict family norms are relaxing in many places, allowing more people to form more diverse types of caring relationships. On the other hand, some relationships continue to be more honored and protected than others. I frame the spread of same-sex marriage as an opportunity to study this tension, and I argue that queer critiques of marriage provide useful tools for helping ground such research. I argue for research that sees same-sex marriage not as an isolated shift in the status of some same-sex couples, but instead as embedded in broader “relational landscapes” where different relationships of different types intersect with each other and shape each other. Such research would highlight inequalities among married couples and between married and unmarried people, and it would trace changes in other relationship forms outside of same-sex marriage itself. I describe how the chapters in this volume pursue these goals, helping develop queer and other critiques of marriage to lay the groundwork for a contextualized, critical research program on families and relationships after same-sex marriage.

ПРОБЛЕМА ИСЛАМИЗАЦИИ ГЕРМАНСКОГО ОБЩЕСТВА В КОНТЕКСТЕ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ МИГРАЦИОННЫХ ПРОЦЕССОВ
Authors: Nadezhdin A. E.
Published: August 2018

This article deals with the process of Islamisation in Western Europe, particularly in Germany taking into account the current domestic situation and the changes it has undergone. Muslim population growth and the fight for their rights, reconstruction of their native country elements (building mosques, wearing religious attire, conducting religious worship) or the voluntary refusal to adapt to the recipient society contribute greatly to segregation and growth of tensions between the local “majority” and the “minority” of newcomers. It has been noted that if state institutions don’t have the capacity to resolve the problems linked to Islamisation (enclavisation, ghettoisation, criminalization etc.), the recipient society starts to generate its own ways of tackling these issues. Such situations lead to internal conflicts between the authorities and the public and reshape the existing political landscape. Within the context of these circumstances, such groups as “PEGIDA” and the electoral success of the “Alternative for Germany” party are of particular interest. The article also provides a characteristic of the main Germany-based Muslim social organizations underscoring the radical and extremist ones whose members could potentially be involved in terrorist activities. Special attention is paid to The migrant crisis of 2015-2016, that has exposed the existing drawbacks of the German integration, socialization and adaptation policy targeted at migrants with Muslim background. The crisis and the subsequent criminal offences have highlighted the need to revise the existing national security strategy in view of the new threats and challenges as well as to harmonize the basics of intercultural and interreligious dialogue within the society of “guiding German culture”.

Getting Real: Work, Coolness and Nobokov’s Despair
Authors: Williams Peter
Published: August 2018

Modernist aesthetics emphasised the representation of states of mind over the "blessed matter" of the everyday real. This shift from "substance to subtlety" licensed modernist protagonists like Hermann Karlovich from Vladimir Nabokov's Despair to engage in a narcissism that ignored real world contingencies in order to legitimate an aesthetic transcendence based upon inspiration rather than work, memory over creative reconstruction and lies instead of truths. The dissociative heat of Karlovich 's literary inspiration lacks the cool, remote thought Nabokov considered necessary for the associative work of artistic creation. His effort to communicate beyond the self fails because he never understands that while art may be an inspired lie, life is not. Nabokov therefore provides a critique of those strains of modernist aesthetics that understood the real as merely a set conventions rather than a constellation offorces that have the power to disrupt and overturn the best of human intentions.
الوعي الجماليّ في طلائع الروايات العربية -

Thomas d’Aquin, le Summum ens et le chemin vers la différence ontologique
Authors: Darwiche Frank
Published: August 2018

Cet article se pmpose d'examiner quelques textes de Thomas d'Aquin, qui laissent entrevoir une pensée du divin semblable à celle de Heidegger, lorsque ce dernier aborde le concept de « Gôttliche » qui dépasse les catégories de la scolastique et ne s 'attache pas à une « étantité » particulière. La métaphysique devient alors une échelle qui n 'est pas seulement à gravir — ce qui fut le cas des deux « Summa » — mais aussi à laisser tomber, une fois que l'accès à une pensée autre de Dieu devient possible, à l'instar de l'apophatisme oriental. Et si l'Aquinate sonde le caché, le secret et l'indicible, il ouvre cependant le chemin au sens de la chose, thème central chez Heidegger, vu comme le lien privilégié entre les hommes et la divinité. L'étude de ces textes laissent alors entrevoir une nouvelle théologie, dépassant la positive et la négative. Elle se profile à l'horizon des derniers écrits de Thomas, tout en étant présente derrière les indications formelles des travaux de Heidegger sur le divin.
METHODOLOGY OF FORMING MECHANISMS OF INTEGRATION OF COMMODITY MARKETS AS A DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMY�
Authors: BurkinskyI B.V. , Lisyuk V.M.
Published: August 2018

Topicality. The article presents the study of the essence of economic mechanisms of market integration, integration mechanisms, which are the driving force and means of accelerated development of markets of the real economy sector under the controlled use of them. The analysis of the influence of various integration mechanisms on the development of commodity markets is presented. The essence of the methodology of formation of integration mechanisms for accelerated development of national commodity markets is revealed.

Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to identify the mechanisms of integration of commodity markets, which can be used for their accelerated development. Research results. Depending on the goal set for the directions and means of development, existing economic mechanisms capable of realizing the goal of integration and its specific tasks can be formed or selected from the list. We can define them as "integration mechanisms".

Today, as we have already said, the economy has in its arsenal a number of mechanisms that can be used to realize the goal of market integration, that is, to promote the unification.

Determining the nature of the integration mechanisms and their ability to influence the market equilibrium, and hence the market efficiency, will allow timely response to market imbalances and implement the necessary management measures for the purposeful integration into the operation of the relevant integration mechanisms. Integration processes occurring in the depths of the commodity market have certain causes and nature. At the same time, as a result of integration mechanisms, in the market, as a rule, new, "integrated structures", as well as a new type of services (functions) such as service, goods refinement, and others occur.

Conclusions. Thus, the article's goal was achieved - the methodology of forming market integration mechanisms was developed. In order to achieve the main goal of accelerated development, it is necessary to apply a clearly directed policy to create an institutional basis for facilitating the flexible implementation of integration mechanisms on the domestic market with the involvement of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

The methodological basis for the purposeful formation of a complex of heterogeneous methods, objects and instruments of integration mechanisms is their common goal: accelerated development of commodity markets and increase their efficiency.

Effect of Philosophical and Linguistic Gender Biases on the Degradation of Women’s Status in Religion
Authors: Rouhani Ma'ani Baharieh
Published: August 2018

Gender equality, a prerequisite for the establishment of the oneness of humanity, remains largely unrealized, despite the struggles of the last one hundred and fifty years to attain such equality. The extreme slowness to eradicate the causes of inequality is at least partly due to discriminatory attitudes ingrained in linguistic styles and philosophical suppositions that have left their marks on human thought, behavior, social institutions, and religion. Gender inequality is a widespread phenomenon and its genesis hard to determine. Women’s rights have been universally undermined for countless centuries. While the underlying causes of depriving women of their rights and degrading their status may seem different in various parts of the globe, the similar effects they have produced indicate that the root causes must be the same. This article focuses on philosophical and linguistic gender-related biases and their effect on the degradation of women’s status in religion. It also offers suggestions for eradicating the causes of inequality in order to hasten world unity.

After treating patients based on the hospital management guidelines, 33 events (39.3%) achieved target INR and 51 events (60.7%) were out of the target INR range. In the cases of patients who were not treated based on the hospital guidelines, 39 events (41.5%) were in the target INR and 55 events (58.5%) were out of INR range. Comparing the management methods and their outcomes, there was no statistically significant difference in achieving target INR between the patients treated with the hospital guideline-based method or the non-guideline-based method (odds ratio=0.913, p-value=0.765).Conclusion: According to the warfarin guidelines of Vachiraphuket Hospital, the management for patients with INR higher than target INR was probably unsuccessful for everyone. Therefore, the management of each individual patient should be carefully considered.
Comparison of Racemic Bupivacaine and Levobupivacaine; combined with low dose Fentanyl, through Intrathecal Route for Transurethral Resection of Prostate
Authors: Chandra Debalpana , Brahma Subir kumar
Published: August 2018

Background and Objectives: Bupivacaine is available as a racemic mixture of dextro and levobupivacaine. Many studies show that dextrobupivacaine has greater cardiovascular and central nervous system toxicity than levobupivacaine. The objectives of the present study were to compare the effects of racemic Bupivacaine + Fentanyl and Levobupivacaine + Fentanyl on the complete regression of motor block, onset time to reach T10 level sensory block, duration of T10 level sensory block, onset time of motor block, duration of sensory block.

Materials and Method: The study was conducted in 100 patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate operation, who received either 1.75 ml Bupivacaine (0.5%) + 25µg Fentanyl (Gr A) or 1.75 ml Levobupivacaine (0.5%) + 25µg Fentanyl (Gr B) intrathecally.

Results: Time to complete regression of motor block, onset time toT10 level sensory block were significantly prolonged in Gr A compared to Gr B. The onset time of motor block was significantly shorter in Gr A compared to Gr B. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in respect to the duration of T10 level sensory block, duration of sensory block.

Conclusion: Intrathecal Levobupivacaine + Fentanyl used in the present study can be considered as a suitable alternative to Bupivacaine + Fentanyl for spinal anaesthesia in elective TURP surgery.

In last few decades, though significant progress has been made in the treatment and control strategies of tubercular infections by introducing new diagnostic and monitoring tools and combination therapy, it still continues to be severe problem. The need of study was only because of there are many drugs in market to treat infection but most of the drugs are showing resistance because of the same it is difficult to treat the infection. In this study we chosen quinolone nucleus for study and over it. Thus with the aim of developing novel molecule with improved potency for treating Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain infections and with decreased probability of developing drug resistance. Methodology: The synthesis of Quinolone derivatives, starting from substituted aniline and ethyl acetoacetate, by conventional organic reaction and results of investigations of their anti-mycobacterial activity. Results: MICs of the synthesized compounds are compared with existing drugs Cytotoxicity. The substituted quinolones are synthesized by taking mixture of 7-substituted-2-(3-chloro-2-oxopropyl) quinolin-4(1H)-one and different secondary amines. Many compounds have shown promising activity while some were inactive. Conclusion: It was found that Compound A1, A3, B1, B3, have shown promising anti tubercular activity whereas compound A2, A4, B2, B4 were showing moderate anti tubercular activity against std. Streptomycin.

Background: The mortality and morbidity associated with oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)  can be greatly reduced if tumor markers which can detect OSCC at an early stage are available. This study attempts to use saliva as the diagnostic medium to determine the correlation of salivary CA 125 and LDH in tobacco users with and without potentially malignant disorders. Changes in CA 125 and  LDH level can be used as a marker in patients with and without premalignant disease and can be used as a deterrent in continuation of the habit. Aims: To assess the role of CA 125 & LDH as a tumour marker in Oral cancer patients. Materials and methods: Cross sectional observational study .Time period: December 2015 to August 2017. Study area: OPD of tertiary care hospital in pune. Total participants: 150 persons. Under non-stimulatory conditions whole saliva sample was collected from each individual  and was centrifuged. The resulting supernatant was used for estimation of CA 125 and LDH levels. Results: In present study, mean Salivary LDH level was found to be  lowest among cases of healthy individuals  while it was highest among individuals who were diagnosed and  underwent treatment for malignancy. However there was insignificant difference seen between levels of diagnosed case of oral malignancy and the ones who underwent treatment for oral malignancy. Also mean Salivary CA-125 was lowest in healthy individuals and highest in individuals diagnosed with oral malignancy and the levels were seen to be reduced significantly in the one who underwent treatment for oral malignancies than those who didn't. Conclusion: Salivary CA 125 and LDH has a role in early detection of oral malignancies  and  can be used as a diagnostic marker. However LDH levels are persistently raised even after treatment for oral malignancy.

O conceito de metamorfose e a fenomenologia da natureza de Goethe
Authors: Junior Jonas Bach
Published: August 2018

Este artigo apresenta o conceito de metamorfose de acordo com a fenomenologia de Goethe. O aprimoramento da percepção fenomenológica da natureza é o fundamento para o desenvolvimento do processo de interação entre o sujeito e o objeto. O objeto orgânico requer modos de intencionalidade adequados às suas modalidades de presentação. A versatilidade de representações é um prerrequisito para o desenvolvimento do juízo fenomenológico, que almeja deixar o ser se manifestar. A linguagem torna-se instrumento de aproximação ao objeto. Os conceitos são aplicados em sua dimensão transcendental. O conceito de metamorfose apreende a unidade do fenômeno em sua multiplicidade de manifestações. A transitividade dos modos de manifestação do ser orgânico é expressa no princípio da metamorfose.
