Epimenides de Creta en el relato de un liberal Espanol del. s. XIX
In my paper I examine a literary work, virtually unknown, of the Spanish journalist, writer and liberal politician of the late nineteenth century, Nilo Fabra, who builds an imaginary story with the background of the island of Crete. He describes the situation of the island during the period, in which Crete is going to be liberated from the Ottomans by the Western powers. The writer uses the dialogue between a well-known personality of the ancient Crete and an occasional traveller to describe allegorically the moment in which the events take place and its relationship with the past times of the island.

The Classical Culture in the Modern World
The author discusses the impact of classical antiquity on the modern culture, particularly in Poland. He tried to point out that ill-considered and harmful educational reforms have reduced or even eliminated the classical education from the school system in Poland, as in several other countries. Now we are witnessing the decline and collapse of classical humanism. But on the other hand it is difficult to imagine that the viivifying stream of ancient culture woluld dry up finally in our times. We believe that our world of western civilization does not want and cannot renounce the values that have created and shaped the ancients.

Mageiros sofistis: The Learned Cook in Athenaeus' Deipnosophistai
Within the category of “cultural humour” applied by Athenaeus in his Deipnosophistai, a special place is assigned to the speeches of stock mageiroi, who seek to obtain theoretical knowledge in various disciplines and to apply it to culinary art. By drawing on fragments from Middle and New Comedy of the 4th century BC, Athenaeus creates a specific “canon” of sciences and of “high” arts, which the cook, who pretends to the title of a sage or a philosopher, has to study, consisting of philosophy, geometry, arithmetic, medicine, music, astronomy, architecture and military strategy. The way the author of Deipnosophistai casts the mageiros as an intellectual can be read as a play on the definition of a sophist. The learned cook, who appears to be a product of the sophistic model of education, based on the mathematical quadrivium introduced by Plato, resembles Athenaeus’ characters, who practice some of the very same disciplines he has studied.

Voreki tomu vremeni… Otec i syn Faddej Francevič Zelinskij i Adrian Ivanovic Piotrovskij
The present paper analyses how the biography of Tadeusz Zielinski, one of the most famous Polish classicists, was influenced by the history of Poland, Russia and Germany. (He was living in Sanct-Petersburg, Leipzig and Warsaw.) On the basis of his Autobiography and Diary I am trying to seek his real personality apart from the common knowledge about the famous scholar with outstanding publications and thousands of students. In his private papers Zielinski had openly described his “colorful” student life and love affairs, but he concealed his illegitimate children… One of them – Adrian Petrovsky – was a classicist, translator and dramatist. He was the first translator who translated all Aristophanic Comedies into Russian (1934 – first edition). After the premiere of the ballet The Limpid Stream (with music by Dmitri Shostakovich, libretto by Petrovsky), censors banned the piece and Petrovsky was attacked in a “Pravda” editorial. Shortly after that he was arrested by the NKVD (November 1937) and shot in prison (15 November 1937).
The Criteria of Evaluating Cicero in Quintilian's Institutio oratoria

Criteria of Evaluating Cicero in Quintilian's Institutio oratoria
Quintilian tries to evaluate Cicero on various levels. Examples from the Arpinate’s opera are interspersed almost in the whole textbook of the orator from Calagurris. He highly estimates Cicero’s achievements both in rhetorical practice and theory and appreciates his usage of metaphor, allegory, hyperbole, irony, riddle. The Arpinate is the greatest embodiment of various virtues that are praised in other speakers. As concerns incisum, membrum, circumitus, Quintilian constantly quotes Cicero. The most beautiful kind of speech is the one where analogy, allegory and metaphor are gracefully entwined. Quintilian remains under Cicero’s spell. It is obvious that Quintilian would not have written Institutio oratoria if he did not use the examples contained in Cicero’s works. Poetry raised to its height due to Homer and Vergil, while rhetoric – due to Demosthenes and Cicero.
Rhetorice According to the Second Book of Quintillian's Intitutio oratoria

Rhetorice According to the Second Book of Quintillian's Intitutio oratoria
In the second book of Institutio oratoria Quintilian contemplates the definition and nature of rhetoric. The lecture on rhetoric can be divided into three parts: on art (ars), master (artifex), work (opus). The most common definition of rhetoric can be summed up as the power of persuasion (vis persuadendi). Every element of rhetoric changes with the content of the cases, the times, the circumstances, the needs. No law proposals, no resolutions passed by the people constituted the noble rules of rhetoric; they were formed by practice. If utility will advise us to do something different, we should follow such advice and not be constrained by the authority of the former masters. The important virtue (virtus) of the teacher is to take into consideration the different talents of every student and to discover their natural predispositions. In Quintilian’s definition the speaker and his art are not dependent on the effect. Though a speaker aims for victory, then even if he lost the case he stillachieved the goal of his art, provided that he spoke honestly.

Heraclitus' Sense of Logos in the Context of Greek Root 'Leg-' in Epic Poets
The following paper aims to explore some Heraclitus’ fragments that could entail a personified conception of logos. The first part of the paper shows the analysis of the authentic sense of the Greek root ‘leg-’. In this part I followed philologists (among others Chantraine, Narecki) and philosopher Heidegger, who was a great adherent of understanding the original sources of Heraclitus’ philosophy. The closing part points to Heraclitus’ fragments in which the term “logos” is used.

Seneca in Search of Passing Time
Seneca shows us that reading the philosophers can enable the reader to escape time. He also teaches how to possess the future achieving fame among wise and virtuous people. In Seneca’s opinion, time is our greatest wealth, however ephemeral it might be, although his tragic heroes and heroines as well as the author himself are conscious of the fact that death limits the time of life thus making it valuable. Nevertheless, his philosophy is often pessimistic, neglecting hope as a key to the future.
Literary Adaptations of Jewish Sages in the Works of Josephus Flavius

Literary Adaptations of Jewish Sages in the Works of Josephus Flavius
The paper focuses on the Judeo-Hellenic writers composing in times of Roman occupation, especially on works created by Josephus Flavius. On the basis of his re-written version of events described in the Bible, one can observe various methods used by Josephus and other authors to accommodate their history for the needs of Greco-Roman world. One such method is depicting notable characters from the Bible in a more understandable way, particularly different prophets from the Old Testament. Those Jewish sages are described surprisingly alike to Greek philosophers, orators and commanders – figures that were well-known to Greeks and admired by them. The article presents specific example for that kind of adaptations, presenting at the same time differences between prophets from the times of the Second Temple and those from before the Babylonian thralldom. Understanding these differences is essential for explaining how Jewish scholars could find a common ground with Greek philosophers.

Exploring the impact training and resources have on school nurses' knowledge and confidence
Authors: Greenshields Sarah 
Published: April 2018

This literature review was completed in order to provide an important context in the development of training and resources for school nurses. The aim was to explore the impact training and resources have on the knowledge and confidence of school nurses as well as consider the barriers to this. Globally there are examples of school nurses reporting increased knowledge and confidence following the completion of subject-specific training. Unfortunately, there is a gap in the literature with regards to how school nurses in the United Kingdom (UK) specifically feel that they respond to training and the impact it has on their own practice. The current evidence base lacks the school nurses voice on this subject area. Further research is necessary to clarify this area. This would address and support some of the queries raised regarding the training needs of school nurses in the ongoing process of commissioning.
School nurses' perceptions of using the physical environment of their office to support wellbeing

Published: April 2018

Background: The physical environment has an impact on wellbeing. School nurses can use this to promote students' health. Aim: The aim of this study is to elucidate school nurses' perceptions of using the physical environment at their office, as a tool in nursing. Method: A qualitative interview study was conducted with five Swedish school nurses, using semi-structured questions. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Three categories (offering a health environment for wellbeing, being present in the environment for the children and using the environment for health education) and six subcategories emerged during analysis. Conclusions: School nurses made their office a place for wellbeing by using it for health information, as a sanctuary and as an environment that supports children's need for integrity. How the school nurses used their environment depended on their personality. Obstacles included people in the school who had little knowledge of what school nurses' work consists of and also the difficulty of appearing available to the children.
Stoma care nurses' perspectives on the relative significance of factors influencing ostomates' quality of life

Published: April 2018

Aims/objectives: To analyse the relevance in clinical practice of factors reviewed in previous studies that define the experience of people with a stoma (ostomates), through the opinions of stoma care nurses. Method: Categories and thematic statements were reviewed by stoma care nurses using a modified Delphi method. They assessed the clinical relevance of the previously identified issues by measuring the intensity of the described situations within their practice. Results: Social impact was the most significant issue. Other relevant aspects were ‘description of disease’, ‘interaction with mutual help groups’, ‘health education’ and ‘consultation with professionals to improve self-care’, among others. In view of these results, an explanatory model was proposed whose central category was the ‘necessity of educating ostomates’, assuming that, if it is mediated by stoma care nurses in combination with others (such as mutual help groups), it will have a positive impact on the promotion of self-care, and it would reduce the negative impact of the stoma. Conclusions: The social dimension was the most outstanding area in the care of ostomates. Patients were afraid of social relationships, triggering situations of isolation and limiting their exposure to unfamiliar environments. If precautions related to stoma care are maintained, it will allow them to live a life without these limitations.
Between Scylla and Charybdis: Reflections on and problems associated with the evaluation of teachers in an era of metrification
Authors: Berliner David C. 
Published: April 2018

The Scylla and Charybdis in this discussion of teacher evaluation are standardized achievement test data on the one hand, and classroom observational systems on the other. These are the two most common methods used to judge teachers’ competency. Both have serious flaws: the former primarily with validity, the latter primarily with reliability. At most these evaluation strategies provide teachers’ and their supervisors information about which to converse. But these two methods have such serious flaws that they should never be used as the primary grounds for rewarding, punishing, or firing teachers. When both methods of evaluation are used to judge teacher competency, the correlation between achievement tests and observational data is quite low. When two methods claiming to assess the same construct do not correlate well, either one or both methods are failing to assess the intended construct. There are two alternatives for navigating between Scylla and Charybdis: “Duties Based Teacher Evaluation” and “Performance Measures.” These methods have much to recommend them, though like all methods of personnel evaluation, reliability and validity issues remain problematic.

AbstractAMyxobolusspecies and aThelohanellusspecies infectingCarassius auratus gibelio(Bloch, 1782) were redescribed by their morphological, histological and molecular characterization. In the present study, theMyxobolusspecies infecting the muscle was identified asMyxobolus kingchowensisChen et Ma, 1998 by the morphological and molecular data. Histologically, mature spores ofM.kingchowensiswere observed in the intercellular and connective tissue of muscle, though the plasmodia were not found. In addition, scattered spores also occurred in the intercellular of haematopoietic cells, intraepithelial of the renal tubules and interior of the melano-macrophage centres. Phylogenetic analysis showed thatM.kingchowensisclustered in the clade of muscle-infectingMyxobolusspecies, further supporting muscle as the infection site ofM.kingchowensis. The presentThelohanellusspecies infecting the gills was identified conspecific asThelohanellus sinensisreported in Sun (2006) (mark it asT.sinensis-Sun)based on spore morphology, biological traits (host specificity and organ specificity), and molecular data. However, compared with the original description ofT.sinensisChen et Hsieh, 1960, the presentThelohanellusspecies andT.sinensis-Sun both infecting the gills of gibel carp are distinguishable from the original description in the host and infection site, which made the validity ofT.sinensis-Sun dubious. Due to the absence of molecular data in the original description ofT. sinensis, we suggest marking the present species andT.sinensis-Sun asT. cf.sinensisto avoid the confusion untilT.sinensisis obtained from the type host and type infection site.

AbstractEchinococcosis/hydatidosis which is a neglected parasitic zoonosis in the developing country like India. The study was conducted during April, 2010 to March, 2017 to determine the prevalence among slaughtered food animals, dogs and human. The samples were collected from the various slaughterhouses situated in different regions of Maharashtra state. A total of 9464 cattle (male), 3661 buffalo, 47189 sheep, 33350 goats and 13579 pigs were scientifically examined during PM inspection at different slaughterhouses. The study revealed that the prevalence of disease in cattle (3.00%) was highest followed by buffalo (2.05%), pig (1.28%), sheep (0.09%) and goat (0.01%), by PM examination. The average estimated economic losses (direct and indirect) due to hydatidosis were Rs. 8,65,83,566 in cattle, Rs. 44,33,93,900 in buffalo, Rs. 7,24,50,615 in sheep, Rs. 1,88,29,359 in goat and Rs. 5,20,49,081 in pigs. Dog faecal samples analyzed and showed the prevalence of echinococcosis as 4.34% (19/438) by sedimentation method and positive samples were confirmed by PCR assay, whereas in high risk human, 11.09% sera samples were found to be positive for echinococcosis. However, based on data collection for seven years, 58 patients were found to be surgically operated for hydatid cyst removal. The results of the present study indicated that cystic echinococcosis/hydatidosis is prevalent in both human and animal population in study areas which attracts serious attention from veterinary and public health authority to reduce economic burden and in designing appropriate strategy for prevention and control of disease.

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii infects almost all the warm-blooded animals. ROP20 protein is expressed in the rhoptry of Toxoplasma gondii. In this study, the secondary structure of ROP20 was analyzed using SMART software. We constructed and analyzed the 3D model of ROP20 protein using SWISS-MODEL online procedure and Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) software. The structure analysis fully indicated that ROP20 protein is an important member of the ROP family. Furthermore, We used DNASTAR software and Epitope Database online service to analyze liner-B cell epitopes and T-cell epitopes of ROP20 protein. All the analysis results of ROP20 protein can provide positive information on treatment and vaccine for toxoplasmosis. Moreover, ROP20 gene was obtained from PCR, and a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector (pEGFP-C1-ROP20) was constructed in the following study. After restriction enzyme digestion, the constructed plasmid was transfected into HEK 293-T cells. The RT-PCR result indicated that the recombinant plasmid could transcribe successfully in HEK 293-T cell. The results of western blotting indicated the expressed proteins can be recognized by anti-STAg mouse sera.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
Trichinella spiralis, the main pathogen of trichinosis, infects a wide range of mammalian hosts and is one of the most widespread parasites worldwide. For parasites, glycolysis is the most important way to generate energy. Previous studies showed that some enzymes involved in the glycolytic pathway play roles in regulation the host immunity. In this paper, enolase from T. spiralis was cloned and the protective potentials were studied. One hundred and sixty ICR mice were divided into four groups and vaccinated with recombinant enolase (pET-ENO), eukaryotic recombinant plasmid encoding enolase (pVAX1-ENO) and negative controls (pVAXl and PBS), respectively. Two weeks after the second immunization, each mouse was challenged orally with 200 muscle larvae (MLs) of T. spiralis. Results showed that mice vaccinated with pET-ENO and pVAX1-ENO induced specific antibodies of IgG, IgA, IgM, but no IgE. Subclasses of IgG antibodies showed that mice immunized with recombinant protein and recombinant plasmids induced a Th1/Th2 immune response. Concentrations of serum cytokines were detected and showed significant increase of IFN-γ, IL-4 and TGFβ1, while IL-17 in each group was not significantly different. Flow cytometric analysis showed significant increase of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in the groups immunized with recombinant protein and recombinant plasmids. Challenge infection demonstrated that immunized groups had a reduced number of worm burdens. The reductions of larvae per gram muscle (LPG) in pET-ENO and pVAX1-ENO group were 17.7% and 15.8% when compared with PBS control.

AbstractThe present study describesCacatuocotyle papilionisn. sp. (Monogenea, Dactylogyridae) from the skin of the characid fishesAstyanax lacustris(Lütken, 1875) (=Astyanax altiparanaeGarutti & Britski, 2000) andAstyanax fasciatus(Cuvier, 1819) (Characiformes, Characidae) from the Southeast of Brazil, supported by morphological and molecular data. The new species differs from all congeners, mainly due to the morphology of the ventral bar (resembling a butterfly), accessory piece, and the number of rings of the male copulatory organ (MCO), comprising a coiled tube with 4.5-5.5 counterclockwise rings. The first molecular data for this monogenean genus is provided in this study, using the partial sequences of the ribosomal gene (28S), as well as providing an identification key to the species.
