Eastern Paradox in Bernard Shaw's Major Barbara
Authors: Radavich David A. 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Bernard Shaw was not merely a high priest of paradox in his intellectual comedy. At a deep level, his plays feature complex patterns of interpenetrating oppositions that define and wrestle against each other in a manner characteristic of Taoist philosophy. Major Barbara, like Bertolt Brecht's The Good Person of Sezuan, enacts multilayered binaries of male and female, war and peace, profit and generosity, religion and secularism. Shaw incorporated Chinese elements into his plays, and his works in turn have achieved special status and attention in China for their dialectic explorations.

De interpretatie van de weigeringsgronden uit het Haags Kinderontvoeringsverdrag in Nederland: een tussenstand na ruim 25 jaar
Het Haags Kinderontvoeringsverdrag (HKOV) is in het leven geroepen om internationale kinderontvoering tegen te gaan en is sinds 1 september 1990 voor Nederland van kracht. Het uitgangspunt van het verdrag is dat kinderen die van de ene naar de andere Verdragsstaat ontvoerd zijn zo spoedig mogelijk dienen terug te keren naar de Staat van gewoon verblijf. De rechter van de Staat waarnaar het kind ontvoerd is kan echter van dit uitgangspunt afwijken, en derhalve een verzoek tot teruggeleiding van het ontvoerde kind afwijzen, door gebruik te maken van een van de zogenoemde weigeringsgronden die zijn neergelegd in de artikelen 12, 13 en 20 HKOV. Deze bijdrage gaat in op de wijze waarop deze weigeringsgronden de afgelopen (ruim) vijfentwintig jaar in de Nederlandse jurisprudentie zijn toegepast. Uit die jurisprudentieanalyse volgt dat de weigeringsgronden in het algemeen niet (te) ruim worden geïnterpreteerd, maar dat een beroep daarop wel degelijk succesvol kan zijn. Vanwege de casuïstische aard van internationale kinderontvoeringszaken kunnen echter niet eenvoudig één of meer combinaties van factoren worden aangewezen op grond waarvan aanstonds duidelijk is dat een teruggeleidingsverzoek zal worden afgewezen.The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction aims to prevent international child abduction. The Convention came into force in the Netherlands on the 1st September 1990.As a starting point, the Convention holds that a child abducted from one Contracting State and taken to another should be promptly returned to the country of his or her habitual residence. However, the court of the Contracting State to which a child has been abducted may depart from this rule and decide to dismiss the application for the return of the child on the basis of one of the exceptions stipulated in Articles 12, 13 or 20 of the Convention.This article deals with the way in which the above-mentioned provisions have been applied in Dutch case law since the Convention came into force. From the analysis of the case law it can be generally established that courts tent to interpret these exceptions rather restrictively. Nevertheless, such exceptions have still been successfully invoked. However, owing to the casuistically nature of international child abduction matters it is not possible to uncover certain combinations of factors that would definitively lead to the rejection of return of the child.
A Concept of Minimizing an Electric Power Supply System for Portable Gear and Arms
Authors: Adamczyk Arkadiusz 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Currently a much higher number of portable devices with improved functionality supporting our job-related and social activities require higher and higher capacity and power offered by sources of power supply. Theoretical analysis of the possibility to achieve exploitation features of currently known portable sources of electric current has led the author to a conclusion that even the best solutions will not meet the desired mass and volume magnitudes in relation to the energy supplied. Therefore, if the sources of energy have reached the physically and economically justified capability limits and they are characterized by significantly varied exploitation properties, a solution combining the advantages of various sources of energy through energy management seems to be sensible. In this connection this article presents the idea of a system of energy control, which using available cells will allow for reducing the weight of power supply systems. The considerations are based on defense-related applications, this, however, does not exclude applications for civilian purposes.

Mesolittisk kronologi i Sørøst-Norge – et forslag til justering
Authors: Reitan Gaute 
Published: November 2016

A reassessment of the Mesolithic chronology in SoutheastNorway In 1975, Egil Mikkelsen proposed a Stone Age chronology for southeastern Norway based on a small number of excavated sites. According to him, the Mesolithic could be divided intofour phases. Albeit with slight adjustments Mikkelsen’sscheme has more or less been confirmed by later excavations. The chronology for Southeast Norway is thus reasonably well defined. Nevertheless, several transition periods have not been convincingly dated, especially the one between the Late Mesolithic Nøstvet and Kjeøy phases (BC 6350–4650 and BC 4650–3800, respectively), and, to a certain extent, the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition (BC3800). The established chronology was largely based on sites locatedeast of the Oslofjord. However, recent excavated and well-dated sites west of the Oslofjord, in the counties of Vestfold and Telemark, have provided new data to reassess the established chronology andtransition periods. In this paper C14 date-results, technological patterns and selected artefacts from these sites are presented and discussed. These indicate a chronological pattern different from the established scheme. The suggested outline for the Mesolithic in Southeast Norway is as follows: the microlith phase/BC 8200–7000; the pecked adze phase/BC 7000–5600; the Nøstvet adze phase/BC 5600–4500, and finally the transverse arrowhead phase/BC 4500–3900. Hence, it is also argued that the end of the Late Mesolithic should be dated to BC 3900, that is, in line with the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in southern Sweden and Denmark.

Hidradenoma Papilliferum (HP) is a rare benign appendageal tumor occurring mainly in the anogenital region of adult women. Diagnosis is based on histopathology due to the lack of specific clinical features. The treatment of choice is total excission. We describe a rare case of a 65-year-old woman who presented to our outpatient department with an enlarging nodule of the left labia majora of her vulva. The histological findings were consistent with the diagnosis of Hidradenoma Papilliferum.
Diet and eczema: a review of dietary supplements for the treatment of atopic dermatitis
Authors: Schlichte Megan J. , Vandersall Abbey , Katta Rajani 
Published: November 2016

In the context of increasing popularity of “natural” alternatives to conventional medicine, several dietary supplements have gained the attention of researchers and consumers alike in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). Readily available without a prescription and frequently perceived to have fewer side effects than traditional medications, these “natural” remedies may be featured in discussions with patients, and clinicians should therefore be familiar with their efficacy and safety.
Based on trials to date, no dietary supplements can be recommended for routine use in the treatment of AD. However, some promising results have been noted from the use of probiotics and prebiotics taken in combination. Given significant differences in study design to date, however, further studies would be needed to clarify dose and strains of probiotics. Studies of vitamin D have been limited and have produced conflicting results, although further trials in selected subsets of patients may be indicated. Very limited data is available on fish oil supplements, while future studies on Chinese herbal medicine would require evaluation of comparable herbs and formulations. Finally, multiple trials of evening primrose oil and borage seed oil have shown improvement similar to placebo, and neither is currently recommended in eczema therapy.
Pityriasis rosea in pregnancy: report of a spousal occurrence and craniosynostosis in the healthy newborn
Authors: Loh Tiffany Y. , Cohen Philip R. 
Published: November 2016

Background: Pityriasis rosea is a papulosquamous disease. It may occur during pregnancy; in this setting, it has occasionally been associated with adverse outcomes.
Purpose: A woman who developed pityriasis rosea at the beginning of her eighth week of gestation is described. The outcomes in newborns delivered by pregnant women who developed pityriasis rosea during gestation are summarized.
Method: A 28-year-old woman developed pityriasis rosea during her eighth week of pregnancy. Her husband had pityriasis rosea two months earlier. PubMed was searched for the following terms: conjugal, craniosynostosis, newborn, pityriasis, pregnancy, rosea, sagittal, spouse. The papers were reviewed and the references cited were evaluated.
Results: Our patient delivered a healthy male infant after 41 weeks of gestation. He had normal weight, height, and Apgar scores. Isolated sagittal craniosynostosis was diagnosed and was successfully treated at nine weeks after birth without complications.
Conclusion: Several retrospective studies have investigated the possibility of adverse outcomes in infants born to women who developed pityriasis rosea during pregnancy, such as stillbirth, low gestational weight, hypotonia, and premature delivery. However, there are also reports of healthy newborns in women who have had pityriasis rosea during gestation. Our patient carried the fetus one week post-term and delivered a healthy boy via C-section; isolated sagittal craniosynostosis was later diagnosed and successfully repaired. The occurrence of craniosynostosis in a woman who developed pityriasis rosea during her first trimester of pregnancy may be two coincidental events.
Journey to Dialogue: Sisters of Our Lady of Sion and the Writing of Nostra Aetate
Authors: Deutsch Celia 
Published: November 2016

Scholars have recently examined the work of several groups engaged in the intellectual projects that provided the foundation of Nostra Aetate and, in some cases participated in the writing process. The Sisters of Our Lady of Sion are one of these groups. They are an international women's religious congregation, originally founded with a perspective of conversion that, over the course of a century, developed a commitment to encounter, dialogue and friendship. This article looks at their work in the years preceding the Second Vatican Council, as well as the period of the Council. It then looks at four critical elements that, over the course of several decades allowed the Sisters to make the journey from conversion to dialogue: philosemitism, ressourcement, the Shoah, and the Affaire Finaly. Using administrative documents, it then traces the actual development of thinking from 1946 to 1964. This exploration shows the Sisters' work as being part of a larger context in which women and men, lay people and clergy, scholars and pastoral workers underwent a transformation in the ways in which they understood the relationship of Jews and Christians and made possible a similar transformation in the Church's self-understanding.

How are digital methods changing research in the study of the classical world? An EpiDoc case study.
Authors: Steiner Katherine , Mahony Simon 
Published: November 2016

Los Estudios Clásicos como disciplina siempre se han beneficiado del uso de la tecnología digital en la investigación, con proyectos que datan desde los años 70 e incluso de fechas anteriores. Este artículo examina la integración de los Estudios Clásicos y las nuevas tecnologías de la información y presenta un caso práctico en torno a EpiDoc, una lengua de marcado uso en epigrafía. Hay constancia de la influencia positiva de la introducción de EpiDoc: no solo cuenta con varios proyectos colaborativos en la actualidad sino que la naturaleza de su tecnología fomenta la investigación en abierto. Las inscripciones del proyecto de Aphrodisias son una muestra significativa del potencial de las publicaciones electrónicas basadas en este lenguaje. Aunque el efecto de EpiDoc en la propia investigación permanece todavía inconcluso, al contar con escasos ejemplos claros, hay una clara evidencia de las posibilidades de futuro que posee. La difusión de estas conclusiones a la amplia comunidad de humanidades digitales clásicas muestra una tendencia hacia la colaboración en publicaciones y proyectos recientes, así como una aceptación gradual de publicaciones electrónicas.
Classics as a discipline has always taken advantage of digital methods in research, with projects dating back to the 1970s and earlier. This article examines the integration of classics and computing, and presents a case study of EpiDoc, a markup language used in epigraphy. Positive evidence can be found for EpiDoc’s influence on collaboration, with several current collaborative projects, and the nature of the technology encouraging open, reusable scholarship. The Inscriptions of Aphrodisias project illustrates much of the potential of electronic publishing. EpiDoc’s effect on research questions themselves remains inconclusive, although definite possibilities for the future are apparent. Opening up these conclusions to the wider digital classics community shows a trend towards collaboration in recent publications and projects, as well as a gradual uptake of electronic publication.
Pathogen reduction co-benefits of nutrient best management practices
Authors: Richkus Jennifer , Wainger Lisa A. , Barber Mary C. 
Published: November 2016

BackgroundMany of the practices currently underway to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads entering the Chesapeake Bay have also been observed to support reduction of disease-causing pathogen loadings. We quantify how implementation of these practices, proposed to meet the nutrient and sediment caps prescribed by the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), could reduce pathogen loadings and provide public health co-benefits within the Chesapeake Bay system.MethodsWe used published data on the pathogen reduction potential of management practices and baseline fecal coliform loadings estimated as part of prior modeling to estimate the reduction in pathogen loadings to the mainstem Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay attributable to practices implemented as part of the TMDL. We then compare the estimates with the baseline loadings of fecal coliform loadings to estimate the total pathogen reduction potential of the TMDL.ResultsWe estimate that the TMDL practices have the potential to decrease disease-causing pathogen loads from all point and non-point sources to the mainstem Potomac River and the entire Chesapeake Bay watershed by 19% and 27%, respectively. These numbers are likely to be underestimates due to data limitations that forced us to omit some practices from analysis.DiscussionBased on known impairments and disease incidence rates, we conclude that efforts to reduce nutrients may create substantial health co-benefits by improving the safety of water-contact recreation and seafood consumption.

Published: November 2016

Much is known regarding the antibiotic susceptibility of planktonic cultures ofMycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for the lung disease tuberculosis (TB). As planktonically-grownM. tuberculosisare unlikely to be entirely representative of the bacterium during infection, we set out to determine how effective a range of anti-mycobacterial treatments were againstM. tuberculosisgrowing as a biofilm, a bacterial phenotype known to be more resistant to antibiotic treatment. Light levels from bioluminescently-labelledM. tuberculosisH37Rv (strain BSG001) were used as a surrogate for bacterial viability, and were monitored before and after one week of treatment. After treatment, biofilms were disrupted, washed and inoculated into fresh broth and plated onto solid media to rescue any surviving bacteria. We found that in this phenotypic stateM. tuberculosiswas resistant to the majority of the compounds tested. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) increased by 20-fold to greater than 1,000-fold, underlying the potential of this phenotype to cause significant problems during treatment.
Glycyrrhetinic acid might increase the nephrotoxicity of bakuchiol by inhibiting cytochrome P450 isoenzymes
Authors: Li Aifang , Ma Nana , Zhao Zijing , Yuan Mei , Li Hua , Wang Qi 
Published: November 2016

BackgroundLicorice, a popular traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is widely used to moderate the effects (detoxification) of other herbs in TCM and often combined withFructus Psoraleae. However, the classical TCM book states thatFructus Psoraleaeis incompatible with licorice; the mechanism underlying this incompatibility has not been identified. Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), the active metabolite of licorice, may increase the toxicity of bakuchiol (BAK), the main chemical ingredient inPsoralea corylifolia, by inhibiting its detoxification enzymes CYP450s.MethodsThe effect of concomitant GA administration on BAK-induced nephrotoxicity was investigated, and the metabolic interaction between BAK and GA was further studied in vitro and in vivo. The cytotoxicity was assessed using an MTT assay in a co-culture model of HK-2 cell and human liver microsomes (HLMs). The effect of GA on the metabolism of BAK, and on the activities of CYP isoforms were investigated in HLMs. The toxicokinetics and tissue exposure of BAK as well as the renal and hepatic functional markers were measured after the administration of a single oral dose in rats.ResultsIn vitrostudies showed that the metabolic detoxification of BAK was significantly reduced by GA, and BAK was toxic to HK-2 cells, as indicated by 25∼40% decreases in viability when combined with GA. Further investigation revealed that GA significantly inhibited the metabolism of BAK in HLMs in a dose-dependent manner. GA strongly inhibits CYP3A4 and weakly inhibits CYP2C9 and CYP1A2; these CYP isoforms are involved in the metabolism of BAK.In vivoexperiment found that a single oral dose of BAK combined with GA or in the presence of 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT), altered the toxicokinetics of BAK in rats, increased the internal exposure, suppressed the elimination of BAK prototype, and therefore may have enhanced the renal toxicity.ConclusionThe present study demonstrated that GA inhibits CYP isoforms and subsequently may increase the nephrotoxicity of BAK, which underlie one of the possible mechanisms responsible for the incompatibility of Licorice withFructus Psoraleae.
