“Nutella versus Church”. Worship, Need, and Social Change
Authors: Müller Konrad 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The following essay argues that worship attendance rates stand in direct competition with current social developments at all times. The author bases his arguments upon the empirical research results found in the sociological study by Martin Engelbrecht “Human–Routine–Worship”, which determined criteria for church attendance. He discovered that people are motivated to participate in routines or rituals based on needs. These needs can be described in the following seven categories: pleasure; self-determination; self-care; locality; sense of purpose; structure and orientation; and aesthetics. Müller focuses more closely on four of these needs and explores how 1) each of these needs is influenced by social change, and 2) how this can affect the decision to participate in worship. Müller emerges with the axiom: these needs describe a person's inner demand on his or her outer world. And while religious worship addresses these inner needs and fulfils them (or not), each and every social (outer) change will correspondingly influence a person's decision to attend worship (or not). The trajectory of worship is always two-way: worship is certainly the product of social change, yet worship can also effect change in society because of its transformative power.
Rediscovering the Liturgy - a Solution to the Spiritual Crises of Today’s Consumerism?
Authors: Streza Ciprian 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The post-modern secular society is questioning all traditional Christian values in an attempt to create a new kind of religious life and through the transformation of old religious elements in something else than religion. This new “religious life” is characterized by a process of an overall re-shaping of the whole human world through re-absorption, re-melting and re-elaboration of everything it ever carried in it for thousands of years of Christianity legacy. In such a situation and context, in order to be relevant and survive in a secularist and pluralist society, the Church must first and foremost concentrate on its liturgical life, on its rich Christian spiritual tradition. Only if the Liturgy becomes again the source of all theological expression, as well as of the individual life of each Christian, then the response of the Church to all the problems of modernity will be a living, profound, personal and relevant one.
The Opera in J. I. Kraszewski’s Novels of the 18th Century (Under the Saxon Kings)
Authors: Sokalska Małgorzata 
Published: August 2017

Summary
Poland in the 18th century is generally associated with a period of cultural decline, yet in the history of Europe it is the golden age of the opera. In his cycle of historical novels set in Poland under the Saxon kings Józef Ignacy Kraszewski did not omit the opera, an important cultural feature of the period, and made it a significant factor in the lives of the main characters of Gräfin von Cosel, Brühl, Seven Years’ War, Saxon Remains, The Starosta of Warsaw, and The Virago (Herod-Baba). The first part of the article deals with the documentary aspect of Kraszewski’s fiction, ie. his use of opera references to fill in the picture of the period. It is followed by analyses of his typification techniques, ie. the way he invests his characters, events and narrative interpretations with some typifying or stereotyping formulas. References to the opera are often used in this way. The third part of the article focuses on Brühl, where the opera is an exceptionally rich source of images and ideas for the creation of the fictional world. Most importantly, the opera provides Kraszewski with a model of interpersonal relations – the hidden mechanism of power struggle in the world of politics which he explores in that novel.
The Acoustic Medium, or Spiritist Themes in ‘Poetic Musicology’
Authors: Puchalska Iwona 
Published: August 2017

Summary
Among the vast range of themes that make up the field of poetic musicology there is a whole division dedicated to the tracing of the creator’s lasting presence in his work (the creator can mean here both the composer and the performer). The matter admits of a number of approaches, not least of the spiritualist metaphorics. This article tries to outline the interrelations between spiritualism, ontological reflection and the effects of music by analyzing an assortment of poems and other texts by Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński and Jarosśaw Marek Rymkiewicz.
Detecting differential viability selection between environments by analysis of compositional differentiation at different levels of genetic integration
Authors: Gillet Elizabeth M. , Ziehe Martin , Gregorius Hans-Rolf 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Viability selection can be detected directly in an environment when the genotypes of the individuals at one ontogenetic stage (e.g. seeds) and the genotypes of the survivors at a later stage are both known, but genotypes at the earlier stage often cannot be determined. In this case, differential viability selection between environments can be detected as differences in the distributions of genetic types among survivors growing in different environments, provided that the survivors stem from random samples of seeds from the same base population (e.g. seed lot). Since common FST
-outlier methods for detecting selected gene loci use only allele frequencies, selection that affects the higher hierarchical levels of genetic integration (single- or multi-locus genotypes) without changing allele frequencies is not noticed. A new method for detecting differential viability selection at any level of genetic integration enables discovery of elementary mechanisms of selection that older methods miss. It is based on two measures of compositional differentiation between environments. δSD
measures qualita-tive differences between distributions of genetic types at any given integration level without regarding differences in their constituent alleles, while ΔSD
measures quantitative differences between the same distributions by additionally considering the genic differences. The difference between these measures expresses the degree to which the patterns of gene association in the genotypes differ between environments. The P-values of all measures are estimated by permutation analysis under the assumption that survivors were randomly assigned to environments. Significance indicates the occurrence of differential viability selection at the loci. As a case study, a field study of viability in juvenile beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) for twelve enzyme loci is reanalyzed. It turns out that the significant differential selection for genotypes detected at three loci can be attributed to three combinations of selective effects: on alleles only (SKDH-A), mostly alleles but also association patterns (LAP-A); interaction of effects on alleles and association patterns that are non-significant when viewed separately (AAT-B).
Developments in the Syntax and Logic of the Talmudic HermeneuticKelal Uferaṭ Ukelal
Authors: Chernick Michael 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to show that the logical content of aTann’ayitic hermeneutic changed and developed as it passed into the hands of the’Amor’ayim, theTann’ayim’s successors, and then into the anonymous stratum of theBabylonian Talmud. This hermeneutic was based on a very specific syntactical order in a biblical verse, which was formed by an initial inclusive clause, followed by a list of specifics, and then followed by a second inclusive clause. This hermeneutic is called in Hebrewkelal uferaṭ ukelal. In theTann’ayitic period the hermeneutic required that the second inclusive clause had to be more extensive than the first one. It appears that this new degree of extensiveness suggested that the list of specifics was not definitive of the initial inclusive clause and that other things might be implied by the second one. The way that the rabbinic interpreter determined what these things might be was by seeking the common characteristics that the items in the specifics clause shared. By the time of the lateTann’ayimand early’Amor’ayimthe requirement for the two inclusive clauses had changed. The formal syntax of the hermeneutic remained, but inclusive clauses had to be equal in their degree of inclusivity. The change in logic seems to be the result of viewing a second, more inclusive clause as a distinct element that could be disconnected from the first inclusive clause and the specifics that follow it. If the two inclusive clauses were, however, the same or similar, the rabbinic interpreter could argue that they belonged to the same categories and thus formed a legitimatekelal uferaṭ ukelal.In the final period of the Talmud’s creation neither the syntactic nor logical requirements were any longer needed to form akelal uferaṭ ukelal. Two artificially constructed inclusive clauses and some specifics could appear in almost any order within a biblical verse and be considered akelal uferaṭ ukelal.It appears that the desire of the rabbinic interpreters of each era to connect theirhalakotto the Torah was the force behind the changes we have described.
Suspending New Testament: Do the Two Talmuds Belong to Hermeneutics of Texts?
Authors: Dolgopolski Sergey 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThe paper explores the role of competing notions of what does it mean to have a testament of the law of the past in Christian and Rabbinic corpora of text and thought. The argument probes and renegotiates the complex relationships of the Christian suspension of Old Testament by the New Testament and the Rabbinic suspension of (any) new testament in the twoTalmudim. It consequently draws implications of that analysis for understanding the relationships of the twoTalmudimto the tradition of hermeneutics of texts, as influenced as the latter has been by theological and literary approaches of various Christian theologies of the two Testaments. As a part of that analysis the articles justifies the task of advancing and providing a critique of political theology and political philology as modes of thought and investigation. That provides a way to ask anew the question about relationships between theology, literary theory, and political thought.
Using Lotteries in Logic of Halakhah Law. The Meaning of Randomness in Judaism
Authors: Merzbach Ely 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
There are many phenomena in the Bible connected to the idea of the random, generally in a positive light, but sometimes in a negative one. Both in the Talmudic literature and in the Halakhah texts, the ḥazal (the Sages) also relate to random processes. As we will see here, for them every chance event has a clear meaning, usually even a holy one. In fact, every culture in the world relates to randomness. However, from the Greek philosophers until the rationalism of the 19th century, a process of denuding randomness of its holiness has been taking place. In Judaism, a lottery is not a blind process; moreover the randomness has a clear and profound theological meaning.
Effect of traffic routes on the trace element concentration in plants in the Warsaw agglomeration
Authors: Kowalczyk Aleksandra , Szulc Wiesław 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This work presents the results of an analysis of concentration levels of selected trace metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd) in plants and soil near the main roads of the Warsaw agglomeration. The aim of the study was to assess the degree of contamination by selected trace elements of plants growing at different distances from the road (directly at the roadside and 50 meters away from the road) and to examine the relationship between the concentration of the tested parameters in the soil and their content in the plant. It was found that the lack of clear differentiation in the levels of all heavy metals in plants depending on the distance from the road was associated with the possibility of considerable pollutant migration. In addition, it was found that dandelion usually reveals higher concentrations of heavy metals than meadow-grass.
Floristic Diversity of Lakes Subjected to Long Term Changes in the Water Network of the West Polesie (Eastern Poland)
Authors: Sender Joanna , Maślanko Weronika 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The Wieprz-Krzna Canal, built in 1961, is one of the longest in Poland (142 km). Although the drainage construction was intended to revitalize the region of wetlands and peat-bogs of the West Polesie, it caused large hydrological changes. Research on catchments of three natural lakes and three retention reservoirs involved cartographic analysis using photointerpretation, as well as the Braun-Blanquet method. In the studied area, between 1939 and 2016 the length of rivers and ditches increased more than three times. Macrophytes covered about 20-27% of the natural lakes water surface, whereas in retention reservoirs the coverage was 12-15.5%. Also a greater diversity of macrophytes occurred in natural lakes. In retention reservoirs it was restricted to only emerged macrophytes.
The Cavefish Oreonectes jiarongensis can be Induced to Differentiate and Recover under the Light Condition

Published: August 2017

Abstract
This research indicated that one cave fish species of Oreonectes jiarongensis can recover the transparent to black under the light condition, this species belongs to the Oreonectes, Nemacheilinae, and distributes in Libo County, Guizhou Province, China. The changing process time was 14 days. This is the first time that suggests the cave vertebrates which lived in the dark environment not longer time could change the body color in the light environment, and has a new adaptive strategy for the darkness condition. The result may indicate that this species entrance the underground river not so long time, and the genes not mutation, which control the melanin express, it still has the physiological regulation mechanism under the light condition.
Duplication and Sub/Neofunctionalization ofMalvolio, an Insect Homolog ofNramp, in the Subsocial BeetleNicrophorus vespilloides

Published: August 2017

AbstractWith growing numbers of sequenced genomes, increasing numbers of duplicate genes are being uncovered. Here we examine Malvolio, a gene in the natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (Nramp) family, that has been duplicated in the subsocial beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, which exhibits advanced parental behavior. There is only one copy of Mvl in honey bees and Drosophila, whereas in vertebrates there are two copies that are subfunctionalized. We first compared amino acid sequences for Drosophila, beetles, mice, and humans. We found a high level of conservation between the different species, although there was greater variation in the C-terminal regions. A phylogenetic analysis across multiple insect orders suggested that Mvl has undergone several independent duplications. To examine the potential for different functions where it has been duplicated, we quantified expression levels of Mvl1 and Mvl2 in eight tissues in N. vespilloides. We found that while Mvl1 was expressed ubiquitously, albeit at varying levels, expression of Mvl2 was limited to brain and midgut. Because Mvl has been implicated in behavior, we examined expression during different behavioral states that reflected differences in opportunity for social interactions and expression of parental care behaviors. We found differing expression patterns for the two copies, with Mvl1 increasing in expression during resource preparation and feeding offspring, and Mvl2 decreasing in these same states. Given these patterns of expression, along with the protein analysis, we suggest that Mvl in N. vespilloides has experienced sub/neofunctionalization following its duplication, and may be evolving differing and tissue-specific roles in behavior and physiology.
Validating the short measure of the Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire in older workers in the context of New Zealand

Published: August 2017

Abstract

Objectives
The objective of this study was to validate a short version of the Effort-Reward-Imbalance (ERI) questionnaire in the context of New Zealand among older full-time and part-time employees.

Methods
Data were collected from 1694 adults aged 48-83 years (mean 60 years, 53% female) who reported being in full- or part-time paid employment in the 2010 wave of the New Zealand Health, Work and Retirement study. Scale reliability was evaluated by item-total correlations and Cronbach’s alpha. Factorial validity was assessed using multi-group confirmatory factor analyses assessing nested models of configural, metric, scalar and strict invariance across full- and part-time employment groups. Logistic regressions estimated associations of effort-reward ratio and over-commitment with poor physical/mental health, and depressive symptoms.

Results
Internal consistency of ERI scales was high across employment groups: effort 0.78-0.76; reward 0.81-0.77, and over-commitment 0.83-0.80. The three-factor model displayed acceptable fit in the overall sample (X2/df = 10.31; CFI = 0.95; TLI = 0.94; RMSEA = 0.075), and decrements in model fit indices provided evidence for strict invariance of the three-factor ERI model across full-time and part-time employment groups. High effort-reward ratio scores were consistently associated with poor mental health and depressive symptoms for both employment groups. High over-commitment was associated with poor mental health and depressive symptoms in both groups and also with poor physical health in the full-time employment group.

Conclusions
The short ERI questionnaire appears to be a valid instrument to assess adverse psychosocial work characteristics in old full-time and part-time employees in New Zealand. (J Occup Health 2017; 59: 495-505) doi: 10.1539/joh.17-0044-OA

Published: August 2017

Background: Childhood fracture resulting from trauma has become a major cause of morbidity, disability and socio-economic burden worldwide as well as Malaysia. So, we aim to assess the various epidemiological parameters that influence the etiology of fracture among the pediatrics population at Melaka, Malaysia and to establish data to develop effective preventive strategies.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted at Melaka General Hospital, Melaka from January 2013 to December 2013. There were total 369 pediatrics fracture cases admitted to MGH during study period.Results: Among 369 cases, (64.2%) of cases were found among school going age followed by (30.9%) among toddler and (4.9%) of cases among infant. (69.6%) of cases were males and most of them were Malay (87.3%) The incidents occurred mostly in evening around 6pm most significantly in between 10 am to 11 pm. The most common place of injury was at home (40.4%) and fall (77.2%) is the most common mechanism of injury. Left upper extremity involved majority of facture and common site of injuries were around elbow. Epiphyseal injuries account for (9.4 %) and among them distal radius epiphyseal injury account for (68.6 %) which is statically significant (P=0.00).Conclusions: We concluded that the common mechanism of fracture was fall, (low energy trauma) occurred at home involving left upper extremity around elbow. We believed that community based education by health care professionals and paediatricians on prevention strategies can be instrumental in reducing the incidence of paediatric fractures.

Published: August 2017

Background: The study purpose was to examine the incidence of hypoglycemia in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants with cholestasis while on complete enteral nutrition.Methods: A retrospective study of 270 VLBW (<1500 grams) infants born between 2008 and 2012 at York Hospital with cholestasis was performed. A blood glucose concentration ≤50 mg/dl was used to define hypoglycemia, and hypoglycemic events were recorded while infants were on full enteral feeds. Characteristics of infants with cholestasis were compared with those without cholestasis.Results: Cholestasis was noted in 9.6% (26/270) of VLBW infants, four babies were excluded. Twenty-two infants with cholestasis were analyzed and compared. Among those with cholestasis, hypoglycemic episodes occurred in 12 (54.5%) infants at 17±13 days (mean ±SD) after being on exclusive enteral nutrition and at a post-conception age between 31-42 weeks. Three infants (25%) needed transient reintroduction of parenteral glucose and/or alteration of feeding regimen to correct hypoglycemia. In contrast, the incidence of hypoglycemia in the control group (VLBW infants without cholestasis on full enteral feeds) was 4.5% (3/67) (P= <0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed a peak direct bilirubin of >4.1mg/dl (before full enteral feeds) predicts hypoglycemia while on full enteral feeds, with a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 50%, and negative predictive value of 100%.Conclusions: Hypoglycemia is an unrecognized complication occurring in a high percentage of VLBW infant with history of cholestatic jaundice while receiving full enteral feeds. We propose that care-givers in the neonatal ICU monitor glucose levels in this select group of VLBW infants to avoid recurrent asymptomatic hypoglycemia.
