Diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus in chronic pancreatitis
Authors: Ewald N. , Hardt P. D.
Published: December 2018

Diabetes secondary to pancreatic diseases is commonly referred to as pancreatogenic diabetes or type 3c diabetes mellitus. It is a clinically relevant condition with a prevalence of 5-10% among all diabetic subjects in Western populations. In nearly 80% of all type 3c diabetes mellitus cases, chronic pancreatitis seems to be the underlying disease. The prevalence and clinical importance of diabetes secondary to chronic pancreatitis has certainly been underestimated and underappreciated so far. In contrast to the management of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, the endocrinopathy in type 3c is very complex. The course of the disease is complicated by additional present comorbidities such as maldigestion and concomitant qualitative malnutrition. General awareness that patients with known and/or clinically overt chronic pancreatitis will develop type 3c diabetes mellitus (up to 90% of all cases) is rather good. However, in a patient first presenting with diabetes mellitus, chronic pancreatitis as a potential causative condition is seldom considered. Thus many patients are misdiagnosed. The failure to correctly diagnose type 3 diabetes mellitus leads to a failure to implement an appropriate medical therapy. In patients with type 3c diabetes mellitus treating exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, preventing or treating a lack of fat-soluble vitamins (especially vitamin D) and restoring impaired fat hydrolysis and incretin secretion are key-features of medical therapy.
Significant role of fat tissue hormones in development of comorbid chronic pancreatitis and obesity
Authors: Hristich T. N.
Published: December 2018

Aim is to consider the role of hormones in the adipose tissue of obesity mechanisms of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus in chronic pancreatitis.

Materials and methods. Literature review indicates the value of visceral fat in the development of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, including atherogenic one, taking into account the possible infiltration of pancreatic tissue by adipocytes. Participation of some adipocytokines of adipose tissue in the development of obesity in chronic pancreatitis is highlighted. It is shown that in some cases the hormones of visceral adipose tissue, penetrating through the portal vein to the liver and then to the pancreas, aggravated the course of systemic chronic inflammation typical for the inherent chronic pancreatitis, formed steatosis and promoted development of fatty disease of the pancreas.

Conclusion. Literary sources show the leading role of visceral adipose tissue and its hormones in the formation of obesity in chronic pancreatitis. Lipoidosis or steatosis develop due to the infiltration of the liver and pancreatic tissue by adipocytes. Upon the progression of the type 2 diabetes, fatty liver or pancreatic disease, or cancer of these organs may develop. Consequently, there is a strong need for a serious differentiated preventive and curative measures aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis.

Chronic pancreatitis in patients with coronary heart disease: a lipid spectrum of blood, a possibility of correction
Authors: Hristich T. M. , Gontsariuk D. O.
Published: December 2018

Aim of research is to evaluate significance of changes in the lipid spectrum of blood in patients with chronic pancreatitis with coronary heart disease in the pathogenesis of the comorbidity of these diseases and in the dynamics of treatment with polycosanol.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted in 22 patients (10 patients with chronic pancreatitis and dyslipidemia, 12 patients with comorbidity of chronic pancreatitis and coronary heart disease in CHD II-II A-B syndrome of stage II-III functional class) and in 10 almost healthy individuals. There were 13 men, 9 women, 31–69 years old. Patients of two groups in addition to protocol treatment were prescribed polycosanol 10 mg 1 time in the evening during dinner, up to 3 months. To study the characteristics of the lipid spectrum of the blood, the level of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerols was determined (using the Zlatix-Zack-based Lachema reagents (Czech Republic)). The level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was determined using the Friedewald calculation method, taking into account that the triglycerol concentration did not exceed 4.5 mmol/l. In addition, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol and an atherogenicity index were determined using conventional calculation methods.

Results. In patients with a combined course of chronic pancreatitis with coronary heart disease, in most cases there is a significant (p<0.05) increase in total cholesterol, low and very low-density lipoproteins and triglycerols. When analyzing the types of dyslipidemia, it was found that ІІа and ІІв types were more common (22 і 25%, respectively), but with comorbidity ІІ and ІV type of dyslipidemia was more often detected. In the dynamics of a three-month treatment with polycosanol in patients with chronic pancreatitis, the cholesterol levels of high-density lipoproteins increased significantly and the triglycerol values ​​significantly decreased, indicating a hypolipidemic effect of the drug and the possibility of using it in combination with statins in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Conclusion. The comorbidity of chronic pancreatitis with ischemic heart disease increases the risk of progression of dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis. This is confirmed by an increased atherogenic index in this group of patients, along with the severity of lipid spectrum disorders. The addition of polycosanol to patients with chronic pancreatitis and dyslipidemia, as well as in combination with coronary heart disease, contributes to the reduction and normalization of certain parameters of the lipid spectrum of the blood. This allows us to recommend a drug for long-term treatment of these groups of patients, including in combination with statin therapy.

In recent years, especially in developed countries, there has been an increase in the incidence of pancreatic cancer. Only 20% of tumors at the time of diagnosis are evaluated as resectable, but in these cases, the prognosis of the disease is unfavorable. The overall 5-year survival rate does not exceed 5%.

Pancreatic cancer was described in the 1760s by Giovanni Battista Morgagni in his classic book “De Sedibus et Causis Morborum per Anatomen Indigatis”. Over the next 200 years, pathologists significantly improved our understanding of the macro- and microscopic features of this disease. At the same time, morphological research remained the basis of diagnostics for centuries. The introduction of immunohistochemical studies into clinical practice in the late 1970s and early 1980s radically changed our approach to diagnosing this disease. Evaluation of morphological features, as well as features of expression of markers that determine the invasive potential of such neoplasms, can serve in the future as a fundamental basis in solving questions concerning possible factors of prognosis upon malignant tumors of such a localization.

Aim of research — to study the morphological and immunohistochemical features of ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Materials and methods. The study included 84 patients with pancreatic cancer T1-4N0-2M0-1 stage, aged from 37 to 83, who underwent surgical treatment. Morphological study of the operating material was carried out. The condition for inclusion in the study was a histotype of the tumor, namely ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Posting of the material, preparation of histological preparations, coloring, immunohistochemical examination were carried out according to a standard procedure.

Results and conclusion. The study made it possible to characterize the tumor morphology, as well as the features of expression of markers associated with more evident invasive characteristics of the tumor. The results of this work may be of interest in terms of their further comparison with the parameters of various forms of progression upon pancreatic cancer.

A generative framework for creative learning: A tool for planning creative-collaborative tasks in the classroom
Authors: Truman Sylvia
Published: December 2018

In this paper a generative framework for creativity is presented which extends upon Wallas’s model of creativity (1926), social learning theories and creativity theories. The framework offered here presents a distillation of learning and crea-tivity theory drawing upon salient roots of both creativity and learning theories in the 21st century. The generative framework can be instantiated for use as a learning support tool to assist with the design of classroom and / or other crea-tive learning experiences. Creativity theories are discussed in relation to their appropriateness of the framework. An explanation of the framework is present-ed and an example instantiation provided. The development of the generative framework has been influenced by psychological accounts of creativity and socio-constructivist accounts of learning. The framework presented here has a number of implications for creativity theory as well as teaching and learning practice.
Measuring academic research performance through audit at the expense of trust: Exploring the 21st Century University
Authors: Holligan Chris , Sirkeci Ibrahim
Published: December 2018

British universities are experiencing a climate of fiscal austerity including severe budget cuts coupled with intensifying competition for markets have seen the emergence of audit culture which afflicts the public sector in general. This entails the risk to the integrity of university culture disappearing. This paper seeks to explore the interconnections between developing trends in universities which cause processes likely to undermine the objectivity and independence of research. We question that universities’ alignment with the capitalist business sector and the dominant market economy culture. Despite arguably positive aspects, there is a danger that universities may be dominated by hegemonic sectional interest rather than narratives of openness and democratically oriented critique. We also argue that audit culture embedded in reputation management, quality control and ranking hierarchies may necessarily promote deception while diminishing a collegiate culture of trust and pursuit of truth which is replaced by destructive impersonal accountability procedures. Such transitions inevitably contain insidious implications for the nature of the academy and undermine the values of academic-intellectual life.
Barriers versus promotion: Culturally sensitive healthcare for elderly Turkish migrants in Austria and Germany
Authors: Altıntop Nevin
Published: December 2018

What is the perception of Turkish migrants in elderly care? The increasing number of elder migrants within the German and Austrian population is causing the challenge of including them in an adequate (culturally sensitive) way into the German/Austrian health care system. Here I introduce the perception of elder Turkish migrants within the predominant paradigm of intercultural opening of health care in Germany as well as within the concept of diversity management of health care in Vienna (Austria). The qualitative investigation follows a field research in different German and Austrian cities within the last four years and an analysis based on the Grounded Theory Methodology. The meaning of intercultural opening on the one hand, and diversity management on the other hand with respect to elderly care will be evaluated. Whereas the intercultural opening directly demands a reduction of barriers to access institutional elderly care the concept of diversity is hardly successful in the inclusion of migrants into elderly care assistance – concerning both, migrants as care-givers and migrants as care-receivers. Despite the similarities between the health care systems of Germany and Austria there are decisive differences in the perception and inclusion of migrants in elderly care that is largely based on an 'individual care' concept of the responsible institutions. Finally, this investigation demonstrates how elderly care in Germany and Austria prepares to encounter the demand of 'individual care' in a diverse society.
From the “Judicialization of Politics” to the “Politicization of Justice” in the UK and Switzerland
Authors: Della Torre Lucia
Published: December 2018

Not very long ago, scholars saw it fit to name a new and quite widespread phenomenon they had observed developing over the years as the “judicialization” of politics, meaning by it the expanding control of the judiciary at the expenses of the other powers of the State. Things seem yet to have begun to change, especially in Migration Law. Generally quite a marginal branch of the State's corpus iuris, this latter has already lent itself to different forms of experimentations which then, spilling over into other legislative disciplines, end up by becoming the new general rule. The new interaction between the judiciary and the executive in this specific field as it is unfolding in such countries as the UK and Switzerland may prove to be yet another example of these dynamics.

[222 pp, RRP: £18.75, ISBN: 978-1-910781-22-7]The idea of discovering or creating a form of uniqueness to differentiate a place from others is clearly attractive. In this regard, and in line with Ashworth (2009), three urban planning instruments are widely used throughout the world as a means of boosting a city’s image: (i) personality association - where places associate themselves with a named individual from history, literature, the arts, politics, entertainment, sport or even mythology; (ii) the visual qualities of buildings and urban design, which include flagship building, signature urban design and even signature districts and (iii) event hallmarking - where places organize events, usually cultural (e.g., European Capital of Culture, henceforth referred to as ECoC) or sporting (e.g., the Olympic Games), in order to obtain worldwide recognition.
Uneven Temporalities of Modernity: The Portrayal of Modernisation in E. M. Forster’s Howards End and Füruzan’s 47'liler
Authors: Alkan Burcu
Published: December 2018

Arguably a cultural consequence of the extensive societal transformation that is modernisation, the novel is a literary form that bears witness to, embodies and reveals its extent. Each literary tradition has its own version of the modern novel that seeks to make sense of the complexities of such an immense force. This paper compares two novels, E. M. Forster’s Howards End (1910) and Füruzan’s 47’liler (1974, Generation of ’47), in order to explore some of the similarities and differences between the English and Turkish literary responses to modernisation. The incentive for such an uncommon comparison comes from the uneven temporalities of the modernisation process in varying geographies that accentuate unique probabilities alongside general patterns. By choosing two temporally disparate novels from cultures that have differing experiences with modernity, it aims to challenge conventional approaches and encourage alternative perspectives in both literary traditions.

Associated with globalization, transformation and mobility all around the world may result in positive and negative impacts on welfare of the countries as well as on psycho-social and economic positions of the individuals. Especially in under developed and developing countries, such effects are more evident. The individuals living in these countries are forced to leave their homeland and become refugees in some other countries due to social, economic, psychological and environmental effects. Migration process has become a threat for physical, psychological, social, economic and cultural development of these children at present and in the future. This study is a content analysis on the position of Syrian children and how they are mentioned in three mainstream newspapers in Turkey (March-April-May 2016). These newspapers are Star, Hürriyet and Cumhuriyet. Only headlines were analyzed and columns were not taken into consideration. News from these papers are categorized according to subjects and contents and then sub-categories were composed. How Syrian children in Turkey have been generally mentioned, on which occasions they have been mentioned and which of their problems have been stated in printed media were analyzed in this study.

This article is driven by an interest to explore the role of local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) that deal with Syrian refugees in Lebanon seeing the void left by the Lebanese weak state to cope with this situation. How the Syrian conflict has affected the civil society landscape in Lebanon and how the inflow of international aid has affected the work of this local CSOs, as well as, their relationship with Lebanese state authorities on the national and local levels are examined. To this extent, the ways in which the management of Syrian refugees by local CSOs and CBOs has been affected by external factors, including the Lebanese government policies and the role of international organizations (EU, UN) in managing the crisis in Lebanon are examined.  Since the beginning of the Syrian conflict and the influx of millions of refugees into Lebanon, the civil society sector in Lebanon has undergone significant transformations. To cope with the overwhelming number of Syrians living in Lebanon, Lebanese civil society has expanded with the creation of new CSOs as well as the introduction of additional programs and projects in existing CSOs to assist refugees. These civil society organizations fill a void created by the Lebanese government in its unwillingness or inability to assist with the refugee response in the areas of healthcare, education and vocational training.

Authors: Toksöz Levent
Published: December 2018

The purpose of this study is to classify the apology situations that Japanese and Turkish university students often experience in their daily lives, and to clarify their emotional experiences. In the study, 97 Japanese and 61 Turkish university students have been asked about their recent apologies and their feelings while apologizing. As a result of the survey, it has been determined that breach of responsibility (sekimu furiko) and breaking a promise (yakusoku ihan) are the most frequently observed apology situations in Japan. On the other hand, it has been understood that injuring (emotional injuring) is the most frequently observed apology situation in Turkey. In addition, it has been found that regret, feeling of guilt, and sadness are the fundamental emotions in both countries.
The Psychiatrist as Novelist in Contemporary Turkish Literature: Pushing the Boundaries of the Real
Authors: Alkan Burcu
Published: December 2018

In the past decade, several psychiatrist-novelists established a niche for themselves in Turkish literature and their works draw interest from both their particular readership and the broader literary circles. It is not unusual for the members of a medical field that is preoccupied with understanding the psyche through personal narratives to turn toward a realm that have similar motivations. However, the limited number of such writers globally renders this trend in Turkish literature unique. Furthermore, the works of these psychiatrist-novelists stand out with their pushing the boundaries of the real in various ways. Narratives of pathology, science, and fantasy predominate their ouvre. This article argues that the high number of psychiatrist-novelists in contemporary Turkish literature and their preference over narratives that challenge the concept of reality are related to their profession. It discusses how their personal and professional experiences in medicine manifest as a key influence in their creative endeavours.
Citizenship and the Indonesian Diaspora: Lessons from the South Korean and Indian Experiences
Authors: Harijanti Susi Dwi , Dewansyah Bilal , Abdurahman Ali , Dramanda Wicaksana
Published: December 2018

The existence and movement of diasporas across the world significantly challenge the existing legal norms on citizenship and migration. The responses from law-makers from the origin countries vary. Most European, Latin America and African countries adopt dual citizenship laws. However, most countries in Asia-Pacific region, including Indonesia, do not favour dual citizenship. This is mostly because of the ideological perception of citizenship. In this sense, many countries grant special status or schemes to their diaspora (neither citizens nor residents of the country) in the form of an external quasi-citizenship based on ethnic descent, called “ethnizenship” by Bauböck.This article, drawing on on-going research, compares the Indonesian experience with that of two other countries that have adopted quasi-citizenship schemes. India and South Korea have been chosen for comparison since both countries have particular statutes that recognise and regulate diaspora status. India created the Person of Indian Origin (PIO) card scheme in 1998 and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) card scheme in 2003. These two schemes merged in 2015 into the Overseas Citizens of India Card Holder (OCC) scheme through the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2015. While India adopts a regulatory model of diaspora through a citizenship law regime, the South Korean experience showsa different attitude towards their diaspora. The Korean Government has refused the Korean diaspora’s proposal for dual citizenship and created a semi-citizenship called “Overseas Korean” status through immigration law. This article discusses the Indian and South Korean experiences dealing with their diaspora in order to propose a regulatory model for Indonesia’s diaspora.

The Syrian diaspora in London through the transnational lens: a distinctive contribution to contemporary public space and citizenship
Authors: Caruso Carmen
Published: December 2018

Despite cyclical attempts to depict migratory flows as extraordinary, migration has always had a place in human history. Considering the magnitude of human mobility across borders, the management of migrant citizens adopted by affluent Western economies appears both inappropriate and fuelled by panic. Assuming the contemporary time-space compression, the re-articulation of orientalism and neocolonial enterprises and the increasing popular discontent towards renewed exclusionary logic, the Syrian diaspora proves to be a crucial interlocutor to understand patterns of transformation and anticipate new spaces of citizenship. Through Syrians’ first-hand experience we will try to analyze the Syrian diaspora in the UK beyond the lexicon of humanitarian assistance. A transnational approach and a qualitative, intersectional methodology have been employed to gather relevant information in regard to Syrians’ migratory experience, with a focus on their activities in the public space. Ultimately Syrians’ accounts will provide a rich, indispensable viewpoint to all-encompassing issues such as human mobility, aesthetics, public space and citizenship.

The development of a field of studies such as our own, Kurdish studies, depends to a large extent on the existence of an institutional infrastructure of specialised academic departments, libraries, journals, etc. Only very few academic institutions in the world have a well-established tradition of Kurdish studies, and not surprisingly they are found in those countries that have had an imperial interest in Kurdistan: Russia, Great Britain and France. The general marginalisation of area studies in academia in favour of the more strictly discipline-oriented organisation of academic research has affected these established institutions too. The best specialised libraries in Europe are not in universities but in private Kurdish institutes in Paris, Stockholm, Berlin and Vienna, and they were established and funded by members of the Kurdish diaspora with incidental governmental support.
Review: Islam and politics in Iranian Kurdistan at a time of revolution: the life of Ahmad Moftizadeh

New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016. xv + 246 pp., (ISBN 978-1-137-56525-9 hardback).For a brief period in 1979, when the Kurds had begun confronting Iran’s new Islamic revolutionary regime and were voicing demands for autonomy and cultural rights, Ahmad Moftizadeh was one of the most powerful men in Iranian Kurdistan. He was the only Kurdish leader who shared the new regime’s conviction that a just social and political order could be established on the basis of Islamic principles. The other Kurdish movements were firmly secular, even though many of their supporters were personally pious Muslims.
