The Courage of Liminality: Tillich and Theological Anthropology in Post-modernity
Authors: Ehret Verna 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The challenges of postmodernity have opened up new ways of engaging faith. Postmodern thought recognizes the contextual quality of religious claims. The risk of the skepticism born out of postmodernity, however, is the loss of transcendence in a perceived secular age. The theological anthropology of Paul Tillich can reawaken the significance of transcendence in human flourishing. Human life is uncertain and liminal where we live on the boundary between the secular and religious. Tillich’s work provides a framework for re-imagining the symbol of imago dei as a cipher of transcendence, and through that symbol a transcontextual narrative of liminality is born.
Anthropologie postmoderne et pensée tillichienne : Une confrontation instructive
Authors: Hort Bernard 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Postmodernity can be described as an aggregate of philosophical currents dominated by deconstruction and the critique of ontotheology. It is also possible, in a much broader and more concrete way, to approach it as a social and political phenomenon, characterised by the fall of utopias and the correlative rise of an egotist individualism. It is this latter aspect that we will discuss here. Indeed, this aspect seems likely to open to a critical description, bringing to light at the same time the innovative aspects of postmodernity (opening to difference, augmented personalization) and its problematic sides (radicalism, racism, mobbing, sectarianisms). By doing so, we will also examine how Tillich might help us to deepen the fruitful dimensions of postmodernity, as well as to struggle with some of its destructive and inhuman modalities.
More Celtic names from Roman Pannonia
Authors: Falileyev Alexander , Radman-Livaja Ivan 
Published: October 2016

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Beitrag diskutiert eine Reihe von „neuen” keltischen Personennamen in der römischen Epigraphik Pannoniens. Die Namen sind aus archäologischen Veröffentlichungen bekannt, wurden aber in der vergleichenden Keltologie bisher nicht behandelt. Beispiele aus der lateinischen Inschrift aus Aquincum werden diskutiert, und eine Anzahl von kürzlich gefundenen Inschriften (z. B. aus dem Gebiet Komárom-Esztergom) werden als Comparanda für die bekannten Beispiele verwendet. Das Denkmal aus Odra (im heutigen Kroatien), das Titus Flavius Ateboduus, Sohn von Aterix enthält, wird eingehend analysiert, und Aspekte der “keltischen“ Präsenz in diesem Teil von Pannonien werden angesprochen.

Authors: Farsani Masomeh Khosravi , Amraie Esmaiel , Kavian Peyman , Keshvari Mahtab 
Published: October 2016

Background
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aqueous extract of alfalfa on blood glucose and serum lipids in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.

Materials and methods
Thirty-two adult male Wistar rats weighing 210–250 g were selected and divided randomly into four groups of eight animals each for 21 days as follows: (1) control group, (2) diabetic control group, (3) diabetic group plus aqueous extract of alfalfa (250 mg/l), and (4) diabetic group plus aqueous extract of alfalfa (500 mg/l). Serum concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), glucose, and the liver enzymes such as aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were measured at the end of period in all studied groups.

Results
Administration of 250 and 500 mg/l aqueous alfalfa extract resulted in a significantly decreased glucose, TC, TG, LDL-C, VLDL, ALT, and AST levels and increased HDL levels as compared with the control group and diabetic control group (p < 0.05). Histological examination showed that the aqueous alfalfa extract caused reconstruction of damaged liver and pancreas.

Conclusion
These results suggest that aqueous alfalfa extract revealed significant effects on blood lipids and glucose levels in diabetic rats and might be useful in prevention and treatment of diabetes. However, further studies are needed to determine the exact impacts of those effects.

Abstract

Lessons Learned
Targeted therapy options for SCLC patients are limited; no agent, thus far, has resulted in a strategy promising enough to progress to phase III trials. Linsitinib, a potent insulin growth factor-1-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, may be one agent with activity against SCLC. Despite lack of a reliable predictive biomarker in this disease, which may have partly contributed to the negative outcome reported here, linsitinib, although safe, showed no clinical activity in unselected, relapsed SCLC patients.

Background.
Treatment of relapsed small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains suboptimal. Insulin growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) signaling plays a role in growth, survival, and chemoresistance in SCLC. Linsitinib is a potent IGF-1R tyrosine kinase inhibitor that potentially may be active against SCLC.

Methods.
In this phase II study, 8 eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 1:2 ratio to topotecan (1.5 mg/m2 intravenously or 2.3 mg/m2 orally, daily for 5 days for 4 cycles) or linsitinib (150 mg orally twice daily until progression). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. Patients with relapsed SCLC, platinum sensitive or resistant, performance status (PS) 0–2, and adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function were enrolled. Patients with diabetes, cirrhosis, and those taking insulinotropic agents were excluded. Crossover to linsitinib was allowed at progression.

Results.
Fifteen patients received topotecan (8 resistant, 3 with PS 2) and 29 received linsitinib (16 resistant, 5 with PS 2). Two partial responses were observed with topotecan. Only 4 of 15 patients with topotecan and 1 of 29 with linsitinib achieved stable disease. Median progression-free survival was 3.0 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5–3.6) and 1.2 (95% CI, 1.1–1.4) months for topotecan and linsitinib, respectively (p = .0001). Median survival was 5.3 (95% CI, 2.2–7.6) and 3.4 (95% CI, 1.8–5.6) months for topotecan and linsitinib, respectively (p = .71). Grade 3/4 adverse events (&gt;5% incidence) included anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia/leukopenia, diarrhea, fatigue, dehydration, and hypokalemia for topotecan; and thrombocytopenia, fatigue, and alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase elevations for linsitinib.

Conclusion.
Linsitinib was safe but showed no clinical activity in unselected, relapsed SCLC patients.

Published: October 2016

Introduction: The increasing survivor population of breast cancer has shifted research and practice interests into the impacts of the disease and treatment in quality of life aspects. The lack of tools available in Portuguese to objectively evaluate sexual function led to the development of this study, which aimed to cross-culturally adapt and validate the Sexual Activity Questionnaire for use in Portugal.Material and Methods: The questionnaire was translated and back-translated, refined following face-to-face interviews with seven breast cancer survivors, and then self-administered by a larger sample at baseline and a fortnight later to test validity and reliability.Results: Following cognitive debriefing (n = 7), minor changes were made and the Sexual Activity Questionnaire was then tested with 134 breast cancer survivors. A 3-factor structure explained 75.5% of the variance, comprising the Pleasure, Habit and Discomfort scales, all yielding good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α > 0.70). Concurrent validity with the FACt-An and the BCPT checklist was good (Spearman’s r > 0.65; p-value < 0.001) and reliability acceptable (Cohen’s k > 0.444). The Sexual Activity Questionnaire allowed the identification of 23.9% of sexually inactive women, for whom the main reasons were lack of interest or motivation and not having a partner.Discussion: Patient-reported outcomes led to a more comprehensive and improved approach to cancer, tackling areas previously abandoned. Future research should focus on the validation of this scale in samples with different characteristics and even in the overall population to enable generalizability of the findings.Conclusion: The adapted Sexual Activity Questionnaire is a valid tool for assessing sexual function in breast cancer survivors in Portugal.

Published: October 2016

As manifestações neurológicas na doença de Lyme ocorrem em 3% - 12% dos doentes, sendo a forma de apresentação mais comum a meningorradiculite. Outros sintomas de envolvimento do sistema nervoso central, como encefalomielite ou mielite são raros (< 5%). Descreve-se um caso clínico de um homem de 66 anos com uma mielite transversa extensa, de instalação subaguda, secundária a infeção por Borrelia burgdorferi. O doente foi submetido a terapêutica antibiótica dirigida, com uma boa evolução clínica. A raridade na forma de apresentação clínica e imagiológica deste caso, tendo como base uma doença infecciosa tratável, destaca a importância da sua inclusão no diagnóstico diferencial da mielite transversa longitudinalmente extensa.

Smile by R. Telgemeier - 3rd review
Authors: BCR Harlie 
Published: October 2016

Telgemeier, Raina, and Stephanie Yue. Smile. New York: Graphix-Scholastic, 2010. Print.The book I chose was Smile by Raina Telgemeier, published by Graphix. The book was about a girl named Raina who is in grade 6. One night after girl scouts her and her friends were racing to her front porch, and she severely injured her two front teeth. What follows is a long and frustrating journey with, on-again braces and other crazy things. I liked that the book is a comic book and not a chapter book. It's a really good book and it also won an award for the book. I also like that it's kind of a diary about Raina but it's also about her family. What I did not like about the book is I wish the book was longer because I like the book. Also I wish there was a little bit more words in the book. I would give the book: 5 stars out of 5. I would recommend the book to kids that are same age as me. Kids that are a little younger than me would also like it though.Highly Recommended: 5 out of 5 starsReviewer: HarlieMy name is Harlie. I love reading fairytale, mystery, and horror books. I don’t like non-fiction books because I think they are boring.

A pesca com rede de cabo na Praia do Cassino, RS, Brasil
Authors: SANTOS Mauricio Lang dos , VIEIRA João Paes 
Published: October 2016

A pesca com rede de cabo é uma atividade artesanal de beira de praia que ocorre ao longo de toda a costa do Rio Grande do Sul e na qual se utiliza redes de tresmalhe "feiticeirasââ‚¬Â na zona de arrebentação. O estudo objetivou analisar variações sazonais das capturas pela pesca com rede de cabo na praia do Cassino, RS, identificando as espécies de peixes, estrutura de tamanho dos indiví­­duos e suas relações com diferentes tamanhos de malha. Foi realizada a identificação das espécies, biometria dos indiví­­duos capturados e entrevistas semiestruturadas para caracterização das capturas e petrechos de pesca. Vinte e quatro espécies foram identificadas, entre as quais, Trachinotus marginatus (pampo), Micropogonias furnieri (corvina), Mugil liza (tainha), Menticirrhus americanus (papa-terra) que representaram 70% das capturas e ocorreram com elevado número de indiví­­duos juvenis. As maiores capturas (CPUE=11,27 ind./10 m*12 h) e maior riqueza de espécies (S=22) foram registradas no outono, e, em contraponto, menores capturas (CPUE=2,91 ind./10 m*12 h) e menor número de espécies (S=6) ocorreram no inverno. As espécies dominantes e suas frequências variaram sazonalmente. Os comprimentos de malha utilizados são pouco seletivos í­Â espécie dominante, T. marginatus, e a principal problemática envolvendo a pesca com rede de cabo é sua baixa seletividade, pois também ocorre elevada captura de indiví­­duos juvenis de outras espécies.

<div><p><em>Viral hepatitis, especially those caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV), represents a worldwide significant cause of morbidity and mortality affecting about 2 billion people worldwide. Prevention against hepatitis B (HB) is proportional to the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the people. This study seeks to assess the KAP towards HB in two rural areas of the Anglophone regions in Cameroon </em><em>from the May 2014 of January 2015 using p</em><em>re-designed and pre-tested, semi- structured questionnaire. Any correct or positive answers was given one point and zero for a no or negative answer. The response rate was 612 (87.4%). This study revealed that mean (SD) KAP was 14.4(3.7%), 4.7(1.1%) and 3.8(1.2%) respectively. Thus majority of the respondents had low knowledge 354(57.9%), high positive attitude 334(54.6%) and low poor practice 149(24.3%) regarding HB.

Published: October 2016

Nenas merupakan tanaman buah tropis dan subtropis yang komersial. Kultivar Smooth Cayenne memiliki tipe dan jumlah propagul yang terbatas, sehingga diperlukan dukungan teknologi lainnya untuk produksi benih secara masal. Teknologi benih sintetik dapat diterapkan untuk produksi benih secara masal dan konservasi. Tujuan penelitian ialah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kombinasi auksin dan sitokinin terhadap morfogenesis eksplan nenas yang terenkapsulasi, mengetahui pengaruh interaksi antara suhu penyimpanan dengan konsentrasi paklobutrazol atau manitol terhadap pertumbuhan eksplan nenas yang terenkapsulasi dan masa simpan. Penelitian dilaksanakan dari Bulan April sampai dengan Desember 2011 di Laboratorium Kultur Jaringan, Kelompok Peneliti Biologi Sel dan Jaringan, Balai Besar Penelitian dan Pengembangan Bioteknologi dan Sumberdaya Genetik Pertanian, Bogor. Percobaan disusun secara faktorial dalam rancangan acak lengkap terdiri atas enkapsulasi eksplan, pertumbuhan minimal menggunakan paklobutrazol, atau manitol yang dikombinasikan dengan suhu penyimpanan. Enkapsulasi dilakukan terhadap batang semu dan basal daun menggunakan Na-alginat 3% yang berisi media MS dengan penambahan BA (0, 1, 2, dan 3 mg/l) yang dikombinasikan dengan NAA (0, 1, 2, dan 3 mg/l). Untuk memacu proses diferensiasi, basal daun diberi praperlakuan menggunakan media MS yang mengandung BA 0,5 mg/l dan NAA 0,5 mg/l sebelum dienkapsulasi dengan perlakuan BA dan NAA pada konsentrasi 0; 0,5; dan 1 mg/l. Pertumbuhan minimal dilakukan menggunakan paklobutrazol (0, 1, 2, dan 3 mg/l) atau manitol (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, dan 5%) pada suhu penyimpanan 15 dan 25 0C. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa basal daun nenas yang terenkapsulasi mampu berdiferensiasi setelah praperlakuan. Tidak terdapat interaksi yang nyata antara konsentrasi paklobutrazol dengan suhu penyimpanan terhadap daya hidup dan daya tembus kapsul tunas nenas. Biakan tersebut hanya dapat disimpan selama 1 bulan. Interaksi yang nyata juga tidak dijumpai antara konsentrasi manitol dengan suhu penyimpanan terhadap daya hidup dan daya tembus kapsul embrio somatik nenas. Manitol 4% mampu memperpanjang masa simpan hingga 4 bulan. Manitol dapat menggantikan aplikasi suhu rendah dalam penyimpanan kultur nenas yang terenkapsulasi.
