Negotiation and Reconciliation. A new interpretation of the Athenian introduction of the Asklepios cult
Authors: Wijk Roy van 
Published: July 2017

SummaryThis article discusses the Athenian introduction of the Epidaurian Asklepios in 420 / 19 B. C., from the perspective of the international relations in the Classical Period. Contacts between Athens and Epidauros had existed since the early Archaic Period and continued during the Peloponnesian War, which enabled bothpoleisto cooperate on this particular instance. The delicate equilibrium between the Spartan and Athenian alliance that the Peace of Nikias encompassed was the outcome of changes in the political atmosphere in both camps, as politicians striving towards rapprochement and consolidation accumulated sufficient influence. Instead of regarding the cultic foundation as the result of Athenian imperialist design, the Athenian introduction of Asklepios must be regarded as a symbol of reconciliation between Athens and Epidauros that demonstrates the utilisation of sanctuaries to obtain political goals besides imperial aims.

Authors: Rosillo-López Cristina 
Published: July 2017

Summary
This article evaluates the workings of public opinion in the Late Roman Republic through the analysis of the issue of corruption. It studies rumours, discussions and the debates in the contiones about cases of electoral, political and judicial corruption, as well as bribes from foreign ambassadors. All these discussions and comments led to a set of opinions and ideas about corruption, galvanised by the elite through different arguments. Furthermore, this article deliberates about the importance that the plebs attributed to the issue of corruption and, thus, about their involvement in political debates.
L’usurpazione di Silvano tra costrizione e brama di potere
Authors: Conti Stefano 
Published: July 2017

Riassunto
Un’attenta analisi comparata della testimonianza di Ammiano Marcellino con le altre fonti letterarie, e le probabili epigrafiche, mette in nuova luce l’usurpazione di Silvano (355 d. C.). Prima di dare il via alla rivolta, il generale valutò con attenzione l’esistenza di gruppi sociali ostili a Constanzo II: innanzitutto la popolazione delle Gallie, vessata dall’ingordigia degli emissari imperiali, ma c’erano eminenti figure pro Silvano anche alla corte di Milano e tra i senatori di Roma. Le manovre ordite contro di lui da alti funzionari furono solo l’occasione perché Silvano sciogliesse le titubanze e desse il via alla sollevazione, comunque a lungo meditata. Egli era convinto non solo del sostegno dei suoi soldati, ma anche dei civili, avversi all’imperatore per ragioni politiche, economiche e forse religiose.
In conclusione l’usurpazione, più che dovuta agli intrighi di corte, come è stato spesso sostenuto, appare attentamente pianificata dallo stesso Silvano, forte dell’appoggio trasversale delle truppe, dei provinciali, ma anche di influenti personaggi italici.

<p>We studied the impact of nitrate and cadmium load on protein and nitrogen metabolism in young cattle. The feeding with forage of sodium nitrate at a dose of 0.15 g NO3/kg and cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.02 mg/kg of body weight leads to a violation of protein and nitrogen exchange, as indicated by the low levels of urea, total protein and high levels of ammonia.</p><p>We registered that the lowest urea content in blood serum of research bulls was on the 20<sup>th</sup> day of the experiment. The combined use of nitrate and cadmium on the animals was accompanied with a greater reduction of urea concentration in their blood, caused by sodium nitrate. The gradual reduction of urea in the blood serum of bulls indicated reduced activity of metabolic processes in an organism of bulls and inhibition of functional capacity of the liver to synthesize proteins.</p><p>Under the influence of nitrites and cadmium in our experiments in an organism of bulls was set the decrease in total protein in serum, depending on the intensity of met hemoglobin formation and the level of aggressive forms of oxygen, are formed after the activation of these processes.

Published: July 2017

<p>In Western Siberia, the problem of obtaining full-fledged sprouts of cereal crops is due to hydrothermal conditions in the period of sowing-shoots, pests and diseases, and agronomical methods of sowing. In case of the direct sowing of cereal crops, the most common types of working organs of sowing machines are the V-sharped coulter, chisel and disc. The effectiveness of their use in the dry steppe of the Altai Territory has been poorly studied. To establish the most effective seed coulter in 26 farms in the dry part of the region, the studies were carried out from 2005 to 2012 on seeders with double disc coulters, with V-sharped coulters of domestic and foreign production, and with chisel-type coulters. The years of research (2006-2011) were characterized by a moisture supply below the average (vegetation rainfall was 80% of the norm), and in 2012 - as an acute drought (40% of the norm). The most effective seeders in the cultivation of spring wheat in the dry steppe are seeders equipped with chisel-type coulters. They allow better preservation of soil moisture (by 17-28 mm to control) during the sowing period, improving the quality of crops, field germinating by 4.8 - 12.0%, and increasing the yield of wheat. In the arid year of 2012, it amounted to 1.26 t/ha after fallow, 0.88 t/ha after peas, 0.46 t/ha after wheat, respectively, at 0.64, 0.59 and 0.25 t/ha for control (two-disc coulter SZP-3,6). Seeders with V-sharped coulters of domestic and foreign production, for wheat yields did not differ significantly, but exceeded the control under the conditions of the arid year by 0.21-0.59 t/ha, depending on the forecrop.</p><p> </p>

Published: July 2017

Abstract: Tuberous sclerosis complex is a rare disease with high phenotypic heterogeneity, characterized by the appearance of multiplex hamartomas in the different organs. The disease is inherited by autosomal dominant manner, due to the mutations of two genes: the TSC1 or the TSC2. In this publication we present the cases of two young male and two middle-aged female patients, where pathogenetic differences of TSC1/TSC2 could not be verified by Sanger sequencing. However, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification confirmed different sizes of deletions in different regions of the TSC2 gene. All patients carry the typical clinical signs of the disease. However, the individual phenotypic variability is very different. With this manuscript, we would like to draw attention to the relative frequent rate of gross gene deletions.

Abstract: Introduction: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disease, which shows familial clustering. Aim: We would like to emphasize the importance of monitoring the HNPCC syndrome patients by presenting a case of a proven MMR gene mutation carrier and her family tree encompassing 10 years. Materials and method: To screen a suspected HNPCC Hungarian family member we are taking thorough family histories. If the diagnosis of HNPCC was further supported by immunohistology and the microsatellite status, sequencing of the MMR genes was carried out. Results: A novel mutation in exon 6 of the hMSH2 gene leading to the deletion of two nucleotide pairs [c.969-970delTC] was detected in our patient. During the 10-year follow-up period of our patient new HNPCC-associated tumors have developed in several family members. Conslusion: Close surveillance of the patient and its family members at risk was effective, although it requires compliance from the subjects. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(30): 1182–1187.

Wasatiyyah and Islamic Values in Reinforcing Malay Muslim Ethnic Relations: A Case Study of Thai Wasatiyyah Institute for Peace and Development in Thailand
Authors: Dorloh Sulaiman , Yusuf Kamarussalam Bin 
Published: July 2017

The Wasatiyyah or moderation Institute for Peace and Development was initiated by the current Chularajmontri, Aziz Pithakkompon on 21th August 2014, with the aims of fostering harmony among the diverse ethnics in the country and providing a counter-balance to extremism and extremist as it is taking place in various parts of the world and promoting moderation and peace among Muslims in Thai society. The concept of wasatiyyah or moderation is appropriate to be highlighted and practiced in Thai society to curb extremist activities in all matters. Even though some negative perceptions were voiced by a few parties, but the actual intentions could result in a decline of racial strains, as being moderate has been the practice of the Malay community and its leaders for ages. In fact, this approach has contributed to the success of the Malay community in the Deep South in securing the Malay indentity from their Buddhist neighburs in the country, without having to resort to spilling a lot of blood. Based on previous research, it was observed that the concept of wasatiyyah had a great influence on the Malays, as it had a strong link with the Islamic values that have been embedded in the Malay community. The Islamic values are the main elements that shape the Malays’ conduct, and it is the results of interaction with social norms, for it has bred certain social values that include compromise, modesty, respect and cooperation as transpired when Malays interact among themselves or with other communities. The main goal for the institution to maintain peace and harmony in the society. Based on textual analysis, the study determines that the concept of wasatiyyah concept or moderation is part of the social values borne out of the Malays’ values based on Islamic teachings. Hence, the question is, to what extent does the wasatiyyah concept implemented in the institute. In order to answer the question above, this study has set two main objectives. First, to identify the wasatiyyah concept in Islamic law; and second, to analyse its implementation in the institude. The qualitative study in the form of exploratory and descriptive approach used the content analysis method. The content analysis method was used to identify and analyse the wasatiyyah concept in Islamic law and also to analyse the implementation of the wasatiyyah concept in the institute.
Social Capital: Strategy of Takmir of Jogokariyan Mosque on Developing the Worshipers
Authors: Hidayat Wahyu Panca 
Published: July 2017

This paper discusses a phenomenon of mosque’s worshipers as a social capital. Jogokariyan Mosque is, named after the village, located in Special District of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and has a dynamic worshiper based on its activities. Dynamic because its activities could establish trustworthiness among them. Historically, existence of Muhammadiyah, as an Islamic dakwah body, since 1960s constructs norms that refer to Islamic values. The length of existence of Muhammadiyah movement builds unique networking among the alumni of Takmir of Jogokariyan Mosque, which then is used to support mosque’s movements. Thus, social capital analysis based on Robert D. Putnam’s perspective, which contains norms, networks, and trust is relevant to draw social capital phenomenon in Jogokariyan village with mosque as the key of this movement.
Holding the Accountability Problem Accountable: Response Mechanisms to Counter-Majoritarian Decisions
Authors: Bridge Dave 
Published: July 2017

If the Supreme Court rules against the wishes of the majority, how can that majority respond? I argue that while federal judges will never stand for election, majorities can employ various response mechanisms to counter-majoritarian decisions. I draw out observable expectations for inter-branch, local, and electoral responses. I then test these expectations in cases from the “mature” New Deal—communism, school prayer, busing, and abortion—showing the range of effective results achieved by anti-Court majorities. Given these results, I conclude that there is no “accountability problem”; there is just a narrow definition of accountability.
Institutional Effects on the Careers of State Supreme Court Justices
Authors: Curry Todd A. , Hurwitz Mark S. 
Published: July 2017

We contend a direct connection exists between risk of removal from the bench and the length of judicial careers, as institutional mechanisms present varying but predictable degrees of risk to justices. Using event history modeling, we analyze the duration of judicial tenures and resultant levels of risk provided by selection methods. We demonstrate that justices in partisan elections have the shortest tenures and greatest risk of departure. By contrast, the Missouri Plan evidenced the longest careers, offering a trivial amount of risk to justices. We show that the length of judicial careers are, in part, a function of the institutional design of selection and retention systems.
Analyzing the Link between Dollars and Decisions: A Multi-State Study of Campaign Contributions and Judicial Decision Making
Authors: Rebe Ryan J. 
Published: July 2017

This article examines the causal connection between attorney contributions and judicial decisions in elective states. The results show that contributions are a significant predictor of appellant success in state supreme courts when judges receive contributions from the attorneys for the appellant. However, this relationship is contingent on the competitiveness of the judicial seat. The analysis shows that judges who received a low percentage of the vote in the previous election are more likely to vote with contributors than judges who received a high percentage. This evidence bolsters the argument that contributions directly affect decision making when judges feel electoral pressure. The results also support the proposition that elected judges are more likely to vote with donors in states with nonpartisan ballots. While the contribution amounts are higher in partisan states, the judges in the nonpartisan sample are more closely aligned with their contributors when it comes to decision making.

Published: July 2017

Background: Recent experimental and clinical researches improves our understanding of natural course of acute necrotizing pancreatitis and mechanisms of its complications development. Today there are no disagreements on the issue of timing and main indications for surgery of ANP, but different surgical approaches still exist.Methods: The analysis of treatment of 226 patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis has been performed. The study group included 116 patients in whom consequently diapeutic methods, endoscopic and lumbotomic video-controlled pancreatic necrsequesterectomy, minilaparo and lumbotomy, in case of their insufficiency- “open” interventions on pancreas were applied. In 110 persons of the control group traditional surgical tactic with application of laparotomic procedures was used.Results: Sequential (step-up) implementation of mini-invasive surgery allowed to reduce the number of open wide operations by 3.4 times (p <0,05) and to postpone their performance: 85% of operations in the study group were performed after 4 weeks of the disease onset, in the control group only 33% (p <0,05). Compared with the control group the level of the first diagnosed OF after the surgery was significantly lower in patients undergoing preliminary mini-invasive surgery (12.5% versus 28.2%, p <0.05), the number of patients requiring prolonged intensive care after the surgery was significantly lower (17.5% versus. 38.2%, p <0.05). 4 patients of the study group died (versus 26 in the control group р<0,05).Conclusions: Application of step-up individualized approach in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis ensures a decrease in the number of laparotomic pancreatic necrosectomies and allows to postpone "open" operations for the period after the 4th week of disease onset which is accompanied by reduction of the incidence of postoperative organ failure and mortality.

Published: July 2017

Background: To evaluate several types of surgical repair and their morbidity and post-operative complications.Methods: This was a prospective observational surgical study conducted in 50 cases of umbilical and paraumbilical hernias were included, the study was carried out by history, clinical examination, and appropriate investigations for operation were conducted. The patients were treated by either of the two surgical procedures Mayo’s repair or tension free repair using prolene mesh (mesh repair).Results: Umbilical and paraumbilical hernias were more common in females. Highest incidence was noted in 30-40 and 50-60 years age groups. Abdominal swelling was the most common complaint followed by pain. Post-operative complications like wound infection and seroma were noted in both the procedures. These hernias were operated by Mayo’s anatomical repair and tension free hernioplasty (mesh repair). Two recurrences were noted in patients operated by Mayo’s repair. There was no recurrence following mesh repair.Conclusions: Surgery was the main modality of treatment. Fewer complications like wound infection and seroma formation which can be managed conservatively by antibiotics, drainage of the seroma and pus with regular dressings were done. Study emphasizes tension free hernioplasty (mesh repair) to be the procedure of choice for the treatment of umbilical and paraumbilical hernias.
