Authors: Karim Samira , Islam Md. Shariful , Tasnim Zarin , Laboni Farhina R. , Julie Azima S. , Labu Zubair K. 
Published: November 2017

Objective:
The ethanolic plant extracts of Asparagus racemosus and their partitionates were assessed for thrombolytic, membrane stabilizing, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity in vitro.

Methods:
The collected plant was dried and grinded. The coarse powder was shocked in 2000 mL of 90% methanol for several days then filtrated. At 40°C the volume of crude ethanolic extract (CEE) was reduced by a vacuum rotary evaporator followed by concentrated aqueous ethanol extractive was fractionated into petroleum ether (PSF), carbon tetrachloride (CTSF), chloroform soluble fraction (CSF) and aqueous (AQSF) soluble fractions.

Results:
In thrombolytic assay among all the extractives, carbon tetrachloride soluble fraction (CTSF) showed the highest clot lysis (41.48 ± 0.43%) activity as compared with standard streptokinase (65.16 ± 0.16%). With respect to the membrane stabilizing activity, chloroform soluble fraction (CSF) profoundly inhibited the lysis of erythrocytes (80.86 ± 0.36%) induced by osmosis, whereas reference standard acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) resulted in (88.99 ± 0.39%) inhibition of lysis. On the other hand, CTSF showed slightly higher level of protection against heat-induced hemolysis (85.68 ± 0.75%) as same as with ASA, (85.68 ± 0.75%)). In antimicrobial investigation, crude ethanol extract (CEE) and their partitioning fractions exhibited moderate inhibition of growth of some examined bacteria. The total phenolic content was found maximum (930.94 mg of GAE/gm) in CEE of A. racemosus. The antioxidant potentials in term of DPPH free radical scavenging assay showed EC50 values 2.62 μg/mL by aqueous soluble fraction (AQSF) in comparison to ascorbic acid 2.48 μg/mL as a reference standard.

Conclusions:
This study was conducted to validate the A. racemosus plant as thrombolytic, membrane stabilizing agent, antimicrobial and antioxidant.

Published: November 2017

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the bacterial agents responsible for hospital acquired septicaemia and to determine the antibiotic sensitivity profile of the bacterial isolates.Methods: Three hundred fifty hospitalized clinically suspect septicaemia cases were included in this cross sectional observational study during a period of one year. Blood samples were collected with aseptic precautions for culture following universal precautions. Anti-microbial susceptibility test of the bacterial isolates was performed according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI, USA) guidelines. Results: Over two-thirds of cultures showed gram positive organism. The most frequently identified Gram positive bacteria were coagulase negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus. Among gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp and Salmonella typhi were isolated. In our study, coagulase negative staphylococci showed maximum resistance to penicillin and erythromycin. Enterobactereciae had maximum sensitivity to carbapenems, tigecycline and aminoglycosides.Conclusion: Gram positive pathogens predominated in the blood stream infections. Résistance to fluoroquinolones, especially in Gram negative bacteria was significantly high. Therefore, rapid microbiological diagnosis and the determinants of antimicrobial susceptibility become relevant for early initiation of antimicrobial therapy.

Influence of Health Status on the Association Between Diabetes and Depression Among Adults in Europe: Findings From the SHARE International Survey
Authors: Bashkin Osnat , Horne Ron , Bridevaux Isabelle Peytremann 
Published: November 2017

Objective.
The association between diabetes and depression, a common health comorbidity in people with diabetes, has been recognized but not well understood. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between diabetes and depression in a large international sample of adults, adjusting for demographics, socioeconomic status, behavioral risks, and current health status.

Methods.
The association between diabetes and depression was assessed in a sample of 57,004 Europeans ≥50 years of age from 15 European countries using data from the fifth wave of SHARE (the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe). Multiple logistic regression models of the association between diabetes and depression were conducted, adjusting for potential confounders.

Results.
Analyses showed that, despite diabetes being associated with depression in crude and partially adjusted models, further adjustment for self-perceived health made the association between diabetes and depression no longer statistically significant (odds ratio 1.0, 95% CI 0.9–1.0).

Conclusion.
Adjustment for a variety of demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral risk, and health status variables reduced the estimated association between diabetes and depression until it was no longer significant. Further research should explore the specific symptoms of distress characterized in people with diabetes.
TURKEY: TURN TO THE EAST
Authors: AVATKOV V. A. 
Published: November 2017

The political regime of the Republic of Turkey created by Ataturk have always combines two mutually exclusive principles of Islam and western democracy. Fro a long period of time in its foreign policy Ankara has been foolowing the west-oriented vector. Since 1952 Turkey has been the member of NATO and at the end of the 20th century made a strong application to become the member of the European Union. At the beginning of the 21st century pro- Western politics began to enter an increasingly obvious impasse. Tukrey didn’t want to continue being a U.S. agent in the Middle East. However an attempt to play an active role in the region led Turkey to almost complete international isolation. The country was not ready a complete break in relations with influential Western allies. The loss of the status of an American agent would inevitably lead to a reduction of Turkey’s military-technical capabilities, and, consequently, of the political influence that it was achieved in cooperation with its Western patrons. The author comes to the concludes that modern Turkey resembles a power which has not determined its foreign policy priorities. It continues to pursue a sufficiently risky policy of maneuvering between regional and global players.
SOME NON-FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF “ISLAMIC” FINANCES
Authors: BABENKOVA S. Y. 
Published: November 2017

Currently, capitalist development of countries is closely connected with unequal income distribution both among different segments of the population and among countries. This tendency is clearly seen in the economies of Arab countries, among which there are countries from the top 10 of the richest countries, and countries set back in their economic development by decades because of world power interference in their sovereignty. Thus obtained new economic order shows the formation of new, unequal relations between different countries of Arab world where partnership relations are offset by arisen systemic crisis. The article considers such social and economic processes taking place in Arab countries as migration flows, macroeconomic consequences of decline in the world price of hydrocarbons, cash outflow from Arab oil-exporting countries. In addition, in the article are given main financial indicators of major Arab banks working with Islamic finances, indicators (in dynamics) of the oil sector, consequences of avoidance from commodity dependence by economic diversification in the GCC, the problems of liquidity not peculiar to Islamic financial institutions but to the economies of Middle Eastern countries are analyzed. Based on the information given in the article, it is worth noting that in the context of globalization and external economic processes, Islamic finances represent cash flow of Islamic countries whose essence does not carry their original purpose.
LOCAL REFLECTION OF GLOBAL STREAMS: SYRIA AND LEBANON ON THE IDEOLOGICAL FRONTIER (THE BEGINNING OF THE 60TH OF THE 20TH CENTURY)
Authors: SARABIEV A. V. 
Published: November 2017

Social and political processes in Syria and Lebanon analyzes on the material of archival documents through the prism of global and regional ideological confrontation. On the background of the world bipolar system in the first half of the 1960s the most powerful ideological currents, combining Arab nationalism and socialist ideas, were most clearly manifested in the Middle East. On a broader scale, these ideological currents have found their short-term expression within the framework of the Non-Aligned Movement. By the end of the 1960s, the ideas of Arab socialism had ceased to be perceived as competitive in a system of bipolar global confrontation. Nevertheless, the important historical processes of the early 1960s cannot be analyzed without taking into account that powerful factor in the Middle East development.
SOVEREIGNTY AND STATEHOOD IN THE MIDDLE EAST – THE UNBEARABLE FRAGILITY OF BEING
Authors: ZVYAGELSKAYA I. D. 
Published: November 2017

The impact of globalization, the emergence of transnational actors and the destruction of the states by internal conflicts and/or foreign interference have contributed to the weakening of their sovereignty. In the Middle East, states often face serious constraints on the part of regional and global powers. Their sovereignty is also being eroded under the pressure of numerous non-state actors. External forces (individual states and international organizations) have over the decades formed with varying degrees of success the political face of the Middle East with directly impacting on the structure of regional international relations. This influence was ambiguous. Despite the injustice of the colonial policy, and arbitrarily drawn borders, the partition of the Ottoman legacy was a step towards modernisation of traditional societies, the emergence of modern Middle Eastern States, which, however, were in genetic dependence on external players. The absence of great powers, able to form new regional system, was the result of a colonial policy and at the same time a factor in the preservation of the special role of external players in the Middle East. The problem of external intervention was closely connected with the attempt of new reading of the concept of sovereignty. This was preceded by the collapse of the bipolar system, which gave birth to the idea that all major threats to the world were eliminated. Interventions in the form of humanitarian intervention and R2P in Iraq and Libya led to the collapse of the former political system due to the lack of institutions, and contributed to the strengthening of non-system players, including terrorist groups.
Kuinka lääkärit selittävät asiantuntijainformaatiota? Selittäminen vuorovaikutuksellisena, kielellisenä ja kehollisena toimintana monikulttuurisilla vastaanotoilla
Authors: Paananen Jenny 
Published: November 2017

Aineistossani lääkärin ja potilaan välillä on kaksinkertainen tiedollinen epäsymmetria: lääkäri on asiantuntija sekä lääketieteen että suomen kielen suhteen, kun taas potilas on maallikko ja puhuu suomea toisena kielenä tai kommunikoi tulkin välityksellä. Näin ollen lääketieteellinen sanasto ja muu asiantuntijainformaatio vaatii usein selittämistä tullakseen ymmärretyksi. Tarkastelen artikkelissani 50 tällaisen selityksen kokoelmaa keskustelunanalyysin ja vuorovaikutuslingvistiikan metodein. Analysoin selittämistä vuorovaikutuksellisena toimintana ja erittelen selitysten semanttisia, rakenteellisia, sanastollisia ja multimodaalisia piirteitä.
Lääkärien selitykset limittyvät muihin keskustelun toimintoihin ja auttavat kuljettamaan meneillään olevaa vastaanoton vaihetta eteenpäin. Selitykset voivat olla lyhyitä (X eli Y) tai koostua monesta erirakenteisesta osasta (X on Y; X tarkoittaa että Y; X liittyy Y:hyn). Selitykset ovat selkokielisiä ja sisällöltään yksinkertaisia, ja niissä käytetään paljon suurpiirteisyyttä ilmaisevaa sanastoa(vähän niinku, semmonen, tavallaan). Lisäksi selityksiä tuetaan elein ja materiaalisin resurssein. Lääkärit huomioivat selityksissä erityisesti potilaan yksilölliseen tilanteeseen liittyvät seikat ja käytännön asiat. Selittämisen tavoitteena näyttääkin täsmällisyyden sijaan olevan vastaanottokäynnin hoitamisen kannalta riittävä ymmärrys.

Fisika merupakan bagian dari sains yang memahami segala sesuatu tentang gejala-gejala alam yang terjadi. Banyak sekali fakta di sekolah-sekolah bahwa pelajaran fisika merupakan pelajaran yang sulit dipahami dan membosankan. Konsep dan rumus yang telah disampaikan oleh guru biasanya hanya digunakan dalam penyelesaian soal-soal saja dan siswa cenderung bosan dan sulit untuk memahami konsep tersebut. Sehingga diperlukan media untuk membantu proses belajar-mengajar misalnya media percobaan/eksperimen. Dalam percobaan membutuhkan perangkat antara lain instrumentasi dan bahan sesuai dengan percobaan yang akan dilakukan. Instrumentasi laboratorium sebagai penunjang percobaan yang akan membantu siswa memahami materi yang diajarkan, sering tidak dijumpai di sekolah-sekolah.

Border thinking and feminist solidarity in the fourth world
Authors: Nandorfy Martha 
Published: November 2017

From a governmental perspective, multiculturalism tends to be reduced to a hollow celebration of superficial differences, a strategic policy to control and contain forms of difference that actually require a process of community awareness to open towards the other, rather than merely tolerate it. This essay examines the writing of several Mexican-Americans and Chicano authors through the approach of their thought border. Gloria Anzaldúa’s and Cherrie Moraga’s poems illuminate perspectives of such conceptual strength as Chandra Talpade Mohanty’s most theoretical and academic discourse. The poets, performative artists and academics I consider in this work build intercultural bridges as solidary and collective response against commercial, military and government powers who speak of erasing borders when it comes to the free flow of money and hand cheap labor, but that want close them to prohibit the free flow of ideas and creative beings who seek a better life. Desde una perspectiva gubernamental, el multiculturalismo tiende a reducirse a una hueca celebración de diferencias superficiales; una política estratégica para controlar y contener las formas de diferencia que en realidad requieren un proceso de conscientización comunitaria para abrirse hacia el otro, en vez de simplemente tolerarlo. Este ensayo examina la escritura de varios autores mexicano-americanos y chicanas/os a través del enfoque de su pensamiento fronterizo. Poemas de Gloria Anzaldúa y Cherríe Moraga iluminan perspectives con tanta fuerza conceptual como el discurso más teórico-académico de Chandra Talpade Mohanty. Tanto los poetas, los artistas performativos y los académicos que considero en este trabajo construyen puentes interculturales como respuesta colectiva y solidaria en contra de los poderes comerciales, militares, y gubernamentales que hablan de borrar las fronteras cuando se trata del libre flujo de dinero y mano de obra barata, pero que las quieren cerrar para prohibir el flujo libre de ideas creativas y seres que buscan una vida mejor.

Authors: Lourido Hermida Isaac 
Published: November 2017

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la presencia de la poesía en el espacio público gallego en la actualidad. Para ello, se estudian los discursos que han combinado poesía, oralidad y música en las últimas cuatro décadas. Con la intención de investigar los cambios sufridos por los modelos convencionales del recital, la canción de autor o el uso de textos poéticos en la música folk, son analizadas tres propuestas musicales contemporáneas: el proyecto interdisciplinar Rosalía 21, el programa de intervención política de Labregos do tempo dos sputniks y, finalmente, la iniciativa del grupo Fanny + Alexander, que vincula pop electrónico y letras contemporáneas. Palabras clave: poesía gallega, espacio público gallego, normalización cultural, intermedialidad. The paper aims to analyze the presence of poetry in the Galician public sphere nowadays. Therefore, discourses combining poetry, orality, and music over the last four decades are covered here. In order to study changes in conventional recital and singer-songwriting models, as well as the use of poetic texts in traditional music, the paper analyzes three contemporary musical proposals: the interdisciplinary project Rosalía 21, the political action program of Labregos do tempo dos sputniks and, finally, the work of the group Fanny + Alexander, that links electronic pop and contemporary lyrics. Keywords: Galician poetry, Galician public sphere, cultural normalization, intermediality.
Migración y activismo literario: la intervención social y poética de Washington Cucurto en la Argentina actual
Authors: Bollig Ben 
Published: November 2017

El artículo examina algunos aspectos de la la obra del escritor argentino contemporáneo Washington Cucurto, seudónimo de Norberto Santiago Vega, director de la editorial Eloísa Cartonera. En particular, los relacionados con el desplazamiento, la migración y la poesía, mediante un contraste con otras representaciones de la diáspora dominicana. La poesía de Cucurto constituye un intento literario por crear un espacio para la exploración de los lazos de unión entre migración, cultura, crimen y sexo, elementos reunidos subsecuentemente para crear una estética del robo discursivo, de algún modo análoga a la economía del usufructo que se puede apreciar en su proyecto editorial. De este modo, la obra de Cucurto muestra el vínculo entre el activismo cultural y la migración económica, en particular esos movimientos migratorios que rara vez antes recibieron atención académica o mediática en Argentina. Palabras clave: Washington Cucurto, Eloísa Cartonera, Junot Díaz, Mario Vargas Llosa, migración, diáspora dominicana en la Argentina. This article examines certain aspects of the work of the contemporary Argentine writer, Washington Cucurto, the pseudonym of Norberto Santiago Vega, director of the cardboard recyclers’ publishing collective, Eloísa Cartonera, in particular those related to displacement, migration and poetry, by means of a contrast with other representations of the Dominican Republican Diaspora. Cucurto’s poetry offers a literary attempt to create a space to explore the connections between migration, culture, crime and sex, elements that come together to create an aesthetic of discursive theft, analogous to the economics of usufruct found in his publishing project. Thus Cucurto’s work demonstrate the link between cultural activism and economic migration, in particular those migratory movements which have as yet received little academic or media attention in Argentina. Keywords: Washington Cucurto, Eloísa Cartonera, Junot Díaz, Mario Vargas Llosa, migration, Dominican Republican diaspora in Argentina.
El género literario: epistemología y justificación en Ortega y Gasset
Authors: Ferrari Nieto Enrique 
Published: November 2017

La propuesta de Ortega de una nueva comprensión de los géneros literarios como categorías estéticas, lejos de la preceptiva clásica, admite dos perspectivas (o dos accesos) en su trabajo: La teórica, en su reflexión nuclear de los géneros como temas radicales irreductibles entre sí, que completa luego con el análisis particular de algunos de estos géneros (sobre todo la novela, pero también la lírica, el teatro, la epístola, o el esperpento, la lata, la impertinencia o la náusea, o incluso la vida como proyecto vital). Y la experiencial, con su decisión propia de tomar el ensayo, con la fragmentación de formas de sus artículos, como género para su filosofía, ad usum hispanici, arraigada en su circunstancia: que justifica, también, dentro de su propuesta epistémica para los géneros literarios, porque la filosofía, dice, carece de un género, y es cada filósofo el que se debe hacer con uno. Palabras clave: Modo de decir, novela, lata, impertinencia, náusea, mujer, conocimiento, ensayo, circunstancia. The Ortega’s proposal for a new comprehension of genres as aesthetic cathegories has two perspectives: 1) The theoretical perspective: his main consideration about genres as radical themes, irreductibles, and his particular analysis about some of this genres (mainly novel, but also lyrics, theatre, epistle, or Valle-Inclán’s “esperpento”, “bore”, “impertinence”, “nausea” or life as vital project). And 2) The experiencial perspective: his personal decision when he chose the essay as genre for his philosophy (as a Spanish way), that depends on the circumstance. Ortega y Gasset justified the essay because his episthemic proposal for genres, because philosophy has not a genre, and each philosopher has to decide what his thought needs. Keywords: Refer, novel, bore, impertinence, nausea, woman, knowledge, essay, circumstance.
