The Lion of Judah in the New World
Authors: Vestal Theodore M.
Published: October 2023

This insightful book relates how Emperor Haile Selassie helped shape America’s image of Africa and how that image continues to evolve in the United States today.

The Lion of Judah in the New World: Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia and the Shaping of Americans’ Attitudes toward Africa tells the story of a dynamic ruler who influenced the perception of an entire continent. Documenting the Emperor’s state visits to North America, the book explores U.S. foreign policy towards Ethiopia and Africa over two decades. At the same time, it seeks to understand why Haile Selassie enjoyed such celebrity in the United States and how he became so important in determining U.S. attitudes toward Africa.

The book includes a brief biography of the Emperor and also explores the geography and long, colorful history of Ethiopia. The tensions and contradictions that marked Haile Selassie’s life are highlighted in significant episodes that underscore his astute use of public relations and personal diplomacy. His leadership of postcolonial Africa during the Cold War is examined, as is his ultimate rejection by the United States in 1973 that marked the end of the monarchy and ushered in the tragic fratricide of Ethiopian civil war.
The New Global Insecurity
Authors: Moghaddam Fathali M.
Published: October 2023

A noted conflict expert shows how accelerating globalization is causing dangerous global insecurity that must be met by new security models and policies.

The New Global Insecurity: How Terrorism, Environmental Collapse, Economic Inequalities, and Resource Shortages Are Changing Our World explores insecurity arising out of accelerating globalization. In this unique and forward-thinking work, psychologist Fathali M. Moghaddam, director of the Conflict Studies Program at Georgetown University, explains how and why worldwide insecurity is rising and what steps we must take to quell or reverse that insecurity to make the future of the world more peaceful.

The book first analyzes the elements and roots of global insecurity, discussing it in relation to terrorism, torture, economic instability, threatened identity, and religious fundamentalism. It then puts forward a new model for understanding security, wherein "soft security capital" serves as the enabling condition for "hard security capital." Finally, the current policies for managing diversity, "multiculturalism" and "assimilation" are both rejected in favor of an exciting new policy—"omniculturalism". Drawing on his years of study and expertise, Moghaddam likewise proposes a new policy for better managing intergroup relations in an insecure age.
Paris Hilton
Authors: Gurvis Sandra
Published: October 2023

This revealing portrait of the real Paris Hilton gets underneath the hype and hate, the glamour and greed.

Unlike other biographies that range from the expos’ to the gushing, Paris Hilton: A Biography is both detailed and objective. It covers Paris's checkered family history, her privileged yet surprisingly unassuming upbringing, and her explosion with sister Nicky as "It Girls" on the international social scene. Readers will learn how her family influenced her, why she made the decision to step into the limelight, and why she continues today, despite her many critics and setbacks.

Each chapter of the biography provides an in-depth view of a specific aspect of Paris's life: her relationship with men and the media, how she turned herself around emotionally and projected a new image, and what makes her such a smart businesswoman. The book also looks at darker moments, including the sex tape, her jail time, and her publicity faux pas. In the end, readers will understand what makes this complex young woman tick–and have a better sense of what it is like to walk a mile in her Manolo Blahniks.
Analyzed by Lacan
Authors: Milan Betty
Published: October 2023

Analyzed by Lacan brings together the first English translations of Betty Milan's testimony of her analysis with Lacan in the 1970s, the play, Goodbye Doctor, inspired by her experience, an Introduction by Milan to both works, and a new interview with her about her writing and Lacan.

Milan's firsthand account of her analysis, Why Lacan, provides a unique and valuable perspective on how Lacan worked and his approach to psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theory. Milan's memoir shows that Lacan’s way of working was based on the idea that the traditional method of interpreting provoked resistance.

Before writing the testimony, Milan wrote a play, Goodbye Doctor, based on her experience as Lacan's patient. The play is structured around the sessions of Seriema with the Doctor. Through the analysis, Seriema discovers why she cannot give birth, namely, an unconscious desire to satisfy the will of her father who didn’t authorize her to conceive. She ceases to be the victim of her unconscious, grasps the possibility of choosing a father for her child and thus becoming a mother. Goodbye Doctor has been adapted into a film, Adieu Lacan, by the director Richard Ledes.

Analyzed by Lacan includes a new Introduction to both texts by Milan, an interview with Milan, and letters she received from Lacan.

It has been the policy of Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal to limit the number of editorials published. However, silence and standing on the sidelines is not an option in light of the atrocities and inhumanity we witnessed on October 7. The savagery of the Hamas massacre was executed indiscriminately upon children, women, older people (some of whom are Holocaust survivors), infants, and even medical professionals caring for the casualties. Currently, there are about 230 women, men, children, and babies being held hostage by Hamas; among them are cancer patients and others with serious disorders, doctors, and other medical professionals. We cannot rest and must address the plight of our hostages who are being held by terrorists motivated by hatred and showing no respect for life, whether that of their enemies, their own people, or even themselves. ...

Authors:   Microbiology, Department of Anatomy, College of Medicine, University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq, Dawood Ali Adel
Published: October 2023

Background: Human papillomavirus HPV is considered to be responsible for 95% of virus-related cancers in many organs. Oropharyngeal carcinoma (OC) is distinguished by the transformation of the healthy epithelium into precancerous cells. Aim: The current study sought to examine the uneven gene expression of 20 genes among those scanned by microarray for oropharyngeal cancer patients. Materials and Methods: GSE56142 dataset was extracted from the GEO in NCBI. 24 specimens were evaluated. Gene Ontology (GO), KEGG, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) were used to depict the biological roles of the genes under investigation using types of software. Results: Six genes out of 20 in invasive patients had a binding correlation with high expression (PDGFRS, COL6A3, COL1A1, COL3A1, COL2A1, and COL4A1), and only two genes with low expression (CRCT1 and KRT78). The expression levels of 20 genes were examined between patients with OC and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The correlation coefficient between highly expressed genes was statistically significant at the p < 0.05 level. Conclusions: It is crucial to evaluate the high expression of particular genes as diagnostic tumor markers, particularly in the early stages.
Jewish Hospitals in 20th Century Amsterdam: A Tale of Growth, Change, and Decline
Authors:   Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA, Vanderhoek Jack Yehudi
Published: October 2023

Major improvements in medical diagnostics and treatments in Dutch hospital care during the second half of the 19th century led to a shift from a nearly exclusive focus on indigent patients to an increasing proportion of hospital beds dedicated to paying middle-class patients. To accommodate this change, three private non-sectarian hospitals for middle-class patients were established in Amsterdam between 1857 and 1902. However, the two Jewish hospitals in the Dutch capital, the Dutch Jewish Ashkenazi hospital (NIZ), and the Portuguese Jewish hospital (PIZ), initially established exclusively for poor Jews, were much slower to respond to the trend of increasing hospital care for the middle class. This study examines how these hospitals addressed the needs of both poor and middle-class patients in the first decades of the 20th century as well as the success of the Centrale Israelitische Ziekenverpleging (CIZ, Central Jewish hospital) that was established solely for middle-class Jewish patients. The report also investigates how, after the devastation of the Amsterdam Jewish community during WW2, the CIZ managed to remain and today is the only ritually observant Jewish hospital unit in the Netherlands.
A Visit from the Devil
Authors: Tal Guy
Published: October 2023

Four early seventeenth-century Roman paintings collectively forge a novel iconography that upturns the stereotype of the powerful and appalling witch. It presents the image of a horror-stricken witch (of either sex) fending off a pair of claws exscinded by the frame from the implied figure of the devil. Art historians have noted the distinctive Caravaggesque manner of these paintings, as well as the moralizing critique of the relationship between the Devil and his clientele. However, meager scholarly attention has been paid to the visceral and cerebral experience of viewing the paintings. This chapter argues that the image of the radically excised devil forms the emotional and intellectual crux of the paintings by intensifying the effect of horror and manifesting notions about demonic liminality.
Efectos del enfoque estratégico de recursos humanos en los resultados de la empresa
Authors: Sanz Valle Raquel , Sabater Sánchez Ramón
Published: October 2023

2.º Premio Estudios Financieros 2000Modalidad: Recursos Humanos
Desde que surge el enfoque estratégico de recursos humanos en los años ochenta, se ha tratado de investigar empíricamente la relación existente entre las prácticas de gestión de recursos humanos y los resultados de la empresa. Los estudios realizados se han centrado, básicamente, en el ámbito norteamericano y han adoptado diferentes perspectivas de análisis, lo que dificulta extraer conclusiones generalizables de los mismos. Este trabajo estudia dicha relación desde las cuatro principales perspectivas de análisis identificadas en la revisión de la literatura y para una muestra de empresas españolas. Los resultados obtenidos proporcionan evidencia de que el desarrollo de las denominadas prácticas universalistas de gestión de recursos humanos influye de forma positiva en los resultados obtenidos por la empresa. Particularmente, los resultados mejoran cuando se implantan sistemas de prácticas de recursos humanos consistentes entre sí, más que cuando se ponen en marcha prácticas aisladas, e independientemente de su adecuación a la estrategia adoptada por la empresa. Las implicaciones de estos resultados para futuras investigaciones se comentan al final del trabajo.

Актюбинская область находится в зоне рискованного земледелия, где засуха возможна каждые 2-3 года. Дефицит влаги в почве, высокие температуры и отсутствие атмосферных (поддерживающих) осадков сказывается на урожайности пшеницы. Поэтому для региона необходимы засухоустойчивые высокоурожайные сорта яровой мягкой пшеницы. Для выделения перспективных засухоустойчивых образцов яровой мягкой пшеницы применяется дополнительный метод полевой оценки – это определение водоудерживающей способности листьев. Показателем водоудерживающей способности является процент оставшейся воды в высушенных листьях от их сырой массы. В качестве объектов изучения взяты 175 образцов яровой мягкой пшеницы, из них 156 – из коллекции ВИР им. Н.И Вавилова (РФ, г. Санкт-Петербург) и 19 - сорта селекции АСХОС. В статье показаны результаты изучения сортов яровой мягкой пшеницы различного географического происхождения по водоудерживающей способности листьев. Полевые и лабораторные эксперименты проводились на базе ТОО «АСХОС», в отделе физиологии ВИР имени Н.И. Вавилова согласно принятым методикам. Годы изучения образцов (2018-2019) отличались по метеоусловиям. Было установлено, что средний показатель водоудерживающей способности листьев составил 43,2%. Более высокая водоудерживающая способность (от 50% до 54%) за 2018-2019 года отмечена у 5 образцов из Китая, Австралии, Мексики, России.

Authors: Erlinawati Nurani Ai , Mamay Mamay , Wahyuni Nita
Published: October 2023

Background and Objectives: Urine protein examination is a routine examination performed to determine kidney function. The principle of urine protein examination is that the protein in urine is denatured by heating and adding acid. Lemon fruit has a high acid content and lemon has similar properties to acetic acid, namely properties as a weak acid with a pH of 3.0. The direction of this research is to understand the comparison of urine protein using lemon juice and acetic acid solution reagents.
Methods: This research uses experimental techniques because urine is treated directly by testing using a 6% acetic acid solution (control) and lemon juice solution.
Results: the examination results using lemon juice solution are the same as the examination results using 6% acetic acid solution (control), using the Wilcoxon test, the Asymp.sig (2-tailed) value is 1.000.  With the provisions of the test >0.05, Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected, so testing the difference in urine protein levels of hemodialysis patients with acetic acid and lemon juice examination can be carried out.
Conclusion: The results of urine protein examination with acetic acid (control) and lemon juice as an alternative reagent. There is no difference in the results of urine protein examination using 6% acetic acid reagent and lemon juice.

Authors: Chopra Sidhant , Labache Loïc , Dhamala Elvisha , Orchard Edwina R , Holmes Avram
Published: October 2023

Neuroimaging visualizations form the centerpiece of the interpretation and communication of scientific results, and are a cornerstone for data quality control. Often, these images and figures are produced by manually changing settings on Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). There now exist many well-documented code-based brain visualization tools that allow users to use code to programmatically generate publication-ready figures directly within programming environments such as R, Python and MATLAB. Here, we provide a rationale for the wide-spread adoption of code-generated brain visualizations by highlighting corresponding advantages in replicability, flexibility, and integration over GUI based tools. We then provide a practical guide outlining the steps required to generate these code-based brain visualizations. We also present a comprehensive table of tools currently available for programmatic brain visualizations and provide examples of visualizations and associated code as a point of reference (https://sidchop.shinyapps.io/braincode_selector/ (https://sidchop.shinyapps.io/braincode_selector/)). Finally, we provide a web-app that generates simple code-templates as starting points for these visualizations (https://sidchop.shinyapps.io/braincode/ (https://sidchop.shinyapps.io/braincode/)).

Published: October 2023

Introduction The search for new compounds with putative antitumor effects and the development of domestic anticancer and antimetastatic drugs based on them is a priority task for specialists in the field of medical chemistry, experimental pathophysiology and pharmacology. Melanoma B16 and Lewis lung epidermoid carcinoma are universal models for evaluating the effect of compounds with putative antitumor action on the primary focus of tumor growth and the process of tumor cells dissemination.

The aim of the work is to determine the feasibility of using models of solid tumor growth and metastasis activity of Lewis lung epidermoid carcinoma and B16 melanoma for preclinical studies of antitumor and antimetastatic pharmacological activity of hybrid organotin compounds depending on experimental objectives.

Materials and methods The experimental part was performed on C57B1/6 mice (females). Hybrid organotin compounds were administered five times, intraperitoneal, the beginning of treatment – 48 hours after tumor cells transplantation in the same regimes for both models. In this work, the most effective (375 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg, respectively) and toxic (500 mg/kg and 375 mg/kg, respectively) doses of the leader hybrid organotin compounds Me3 (bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylthiolate) dimethytin) and Me5 ((3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylthiolate)triphenyltin) were used.

Results At all stages of the experiment on both models of tumor growth we obtained similar results characterizing the pharmacological activity of the tested compounds: moderate antitumor and high antimetastatic effect. The rates of growth and tumor process development are comparable and convenient for planning preclinical studies in vivo and can be interchangeable.

Discussion The Lewis lung model of epidermoid carcinoma has a higher degree of convenience for data interpretation (number of metastatic foci in the lungs) when conducting exploratory analysis of pharmacological activity in a wide range of doses. When studying pathogenetic peculiarities of metastasis under the action of compounds with presumed antitumor action due to the possibilities of contrast immunohistochemical staining of tumor cells, the B16 melanoma model has an advantage. In our experiment with immunohistochemical staining for Melan A the hematogenic pathway of metastasis through the bloodstream is clearly traced.

Conclusion For exploratory screening studies to select promising candidates for in-depth study it is reasonable to use the Lewis lung epidermoid carcinoma model. The B16 melanoma model is more informative for in-depth study of compounds that have proven to be effective.

Artistic and aesthetic features of Nizami Ganjavi’s poem “Iskandername”
Authors:   Department of Literature Teaching Technology of the Faculty of Philology of ADPU, Baxshiyeva Ulkər
Published: October 2023

As in all of Nizami’s works, in the poem «Iskandername» he attached special importance to the national-historical values, including the preservation of the harmony of historical truths. At the same time, the evaluation of the character of Iskandar, the main character of the poem «Iskandarname», as a type of historical personality does not go unnoticed. While embodying the image of the genius Nizami Iskander, he opposes the ideas of nationalism, criticizes the unethical nationalist spirit of Ferdowsi’s attitude towards Iskander. In the article, a special place has been devoted to this aspect, and the realities of the spiritual and moral approach in Nizami Ganjavi’s attitude towards Iskander have been analyzed. As we know, N.Ganjavi gave high value to Ferdowsi’s position in Eastern literature and his poem «Shahnama». Although Nizami talks about the merits of the artistic-historical qualities of the Shahnameh poem, he criticizes Firdowsi for the incorrect assessment of historical realities and the personality factor. In the process of analysis, the advantages of Nizami’s truthfulness in relation to Alexander over Firdowsi’s falsification are revealed, and Nizami’s loyalty to historical truths as a Turkish writer is kept in focus. As a result, the false thoughts formed about Alexander in Ferdowsi’s «Shahname» are trivialized and these thoughts are replaced by the real-historical image of Alexander in Nizami’s «Iskandername».

Likha-chov, H.Sulaymonov, P.Shamsiyev.On the basis of Mutrib’s divan manuscripts, more than a hundred poems in Bayaz, supporting and auxiliary sources were identified. In cre-ating the scientific-critical text of the poet’s poems, 8 principles have been developed such as “To compose the scientific-critical text of the Divan, mark the manuscripts of the Divan with the first three letters of the Latin alphabet - A, B, D”, “The principle of coordination of the titles of the po-et's poems”, “Principle of revising the alphabetic arrangement of letters”, “The principle of placing conditional symbols in the restoration of poems in manuscript collections and bayozs for the primary source”.

Bài báo nghiên cứu về sự biến động giá giữa các thị trường ngoại hối của các nước ASEAN-6 (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thái Lan và Việt Nam). Dữ liệu nghiên cứu theo ngày: từ 1-1-2018 đến 13-2-2023. Để tiến hành nghiên cứu, chúng tôi sử dụng mô hình Spillover Index được phát triển Diebold  và Yilmaz (2014) để phân tích  lan tỏa về giá và kiểm định nhân quả Granger trên từng miền tần số khác nhau của Breiting và Candelon (2006) để khám phá mối quan hệ hai chiều giữa thị trường ngoại hối trong: ngắn hạn, trung hạn và dài hạn. Kết quả cho thấy, tồn tại lan tỏa về giá giữa các thị trường ngoại hối ASEAN-6 theo thời gian. Tổng chỉ số lan tỏa của 6 thị trường ngoại hối tương ứng 21,7%. Trong đó có các nước: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore là các quốc “truyền” lan tỏa giá, trong khi đó Thái Lan và Việt Nam “nhận” biến động giá. Ngoài ra, tồn tại mối quan hệ hai chiều giữa các thị trường ngoại hối ở trên các miền tần số khác nhau. Kết quả này là kênh thông tin hữu ích cho các nhà đầu tư và nhà làm chính sách nhằm ổn định thị trường.
