Uterine Fibroid Embolization for Symptomatic Fibroids: Study at a Teaching Hospital in Kenya
Authors: Mutai John Kiprop , Vinayak Sudhir , Stones William , Hacking Nigel , Mariara Charles 
Published: April 2015

Objective:
Characterization of magnetic (MRI) features in women undergoing uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) and identification of clinical correlates in an African population.

Materials and Methods:
Patients with symptomatic fibroids who are selected to undergo UFE at the hospital formed the study population. The baseline MRI features, baseline symptom score, short-term imaging outcome, and mid-term symptom scores were analyzed for interval changes. Assessment of potential associations between short-term imaging features and mid-term symptom scores was also done.

Results:
UFE resulted in statistically significant reduction (P < 0.001) of dominant fibroid, uterine volumes, and reduction of symptom severity scores, which were 43.7%, 40.1%, and 37.8%, respectively. Also, 59% of respondents had more than 10 fibroids. The predominant location of the dominant fibroid was intramural. No statistically significant association was found between clinical and radiological outcome.

Conclusion:
The response of uterine fibroids to embolization in the African population is not different from the findings reported in other studies from the west. The presence of multiple and large fibroids in this study is consistent with the case mix described in other studies of African-American populations. Patient counseling should emphasize the independence of volume reduction and symptom improvement. Though volume changes are of relevance for the radiologist in understanding the evolution of the condition and identifying potential technical treatment failures, it should not be the main basis of evaluation of treatment success.
The role of an out-patient renal clinic in renal disease management
Authors: Kiousi Eva , Grapsa Eirini 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
The out-patient renal clinic (ORC) represents an important part of the nephrology service in general hospitals. The majority of renal diseases are chronic and patients need a systematic follow-up according to the severity and progression of kidney failure. The most important clinical manifestation is chronic renal failure (CRF) or chronic renal disease (CKD) The management of CKD, apart from medical and nursing services, also involves a number of community structures and financial resources. CRF treatment is costly and is a serious problem for the health systems in the western world. Effective treatment in the early stages aims to decrease the progression of kidney damage and, therefore, to prolong kidney function. Patients with renal failure can be managed as out-patients. The increased number of patients and the complexity of kidney diseases demand the collaboration of other out-patient clinics. The ORC may play an important role in this process. In this article. we present a literature review of the role of ORCs in the management of renal diseases around the world and we also present data based on our experience in our ORC.
Education and Training of Future Managers for Sustainable Development in the V4 Countries
Authors: Harausová Helena , Chovancová Jana 
Published: April 2015

Impact of companies and their activities on the environment has become a subject of growing interest since the late 80s of the last century, especially in the western economies. The growing interest in the implementation of environmentally friendly practices in business practice directly correlates with the need for education and training of future managers to sustainable development. The presented paper analyses the need for environmental education of graduates who are expected to act as executives and in positions which are defined as Green enhanced skills occupations or shortly Green jobs and who should be able to apply the tools of environmental policy in a business sector, municipalities or third sector. The essential part of the paper presents partial results of the survey, conducted among students of business schools, with the aim to determine the level of awareness about selected voluntary instrument of environmental policy as well as their perception of the need for environmental education . The article also contains proposals for a system of education for sustainable development in business schools.
Case study on the Analysis of Albanian Students’ English Copular Clause Errors
Authors: Samarxhiu Suzana 
Published: April 2015

The main aim of this study is to analyze some difficulties that Albanian students face when using the English copular clauses.The acquisition of a foreign language is not an easy process, but it is difficult and progressive. As a result, students have difficulties in this long journey of the learning process. Part of this journey is even the errors. Analyzing the latter ones, we understand that it is difficult to find their source, given that the errors of the students are of different natures. But, one of the main sources in the fallibility of linguistic rules is the influence of the mother tongue. This fact is already proven by researchers, as well as teachers involved in the teaching process of a foreign language. Through our studies, it emerged that Albanian students most frequently make errors in structures designed by copular constructions in English. This happens because the Albanian students use the English copular clauses, based on their linguistic intuition of the native language and not the rules of English grammar. The researcher was motivated to make a study on the kinds of errors that Albanian students make, while using these English linguistic constructions.

Thomas Spencer, Southwark Scrivener (d. 1428):
Authors: Carlin Martha 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Thomas Spencer, a member of the London scriveners’ company, lived in Southwark from the 1390s until at least 1420, where he had contact with John Brynchele, known to modern scholars for his bequests of books that included the Canterbury Tales. Sued for debt in 1405, Spencer testified that he had paid the debt in 1394 by handing over “a certain book called Troylous, worth twenty shillings,” and 6s. 8d. in cash. If true, this testimony represents the only evidence to date of the circulation of a copy of one of Chaucer's works during the poet's lifetime.
The Sege of Melayne and the Siege of Jerusalem:
Authors: Nievergelt Marco 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Two Middle English poems are placed within the context of the papal Schism of 1378–1415, itself framed by the rising tension between the nations of France and England during the Hundred Years’ War. Both poems imagine a fictional triumph of Christians over a religious Other—Saracens in the Sege of Melayne, Jews in the Siege of Jerusalem—and, through such crusading fantasies, seek to restore a sense of unified Christendom eroded by the papal Schism. Other contemporary developments also complicate the binarism of identity associated with the ideals of Holy War, notably the emergence of national crusades that encouraged contemporaries to view the largely dynastic and political conflict between France and England through a religious lens. Both poems thus attempt to imagine a unified Christian community regenerated by the experience of warfare, but because of the increasing difficulty in sorting out national and religious identities, they also exacerbate the internal fractures they set out to overcome.
Wynnere and Wastoure and the Influence of Political Prophecy
Authors: Flood Victoria 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
This article examines the debt of the Middle English debate poem Wynnere and Wastoure to a long-lived culture of political prophecy with particular utility during the reign of Edward III. It explores the poet's familiarity with a prophetic tradition endorsing the authority of the kings of England, derived from the writings of Geoffrey of Monmouth. Alongside other sources, the Wynnere poet is understood to be acquainted with The Prophecy of the Last Six Kings to Follow John and possibly variations on this in the poetry of Laurence Minot, as well as prophetic material ascribed to the Scottish border prophet Thomas of Erceldoune. Awareness of the Wynnere poet's engagement with prophetic traditions challenges prior scholarly understandings of his attitude toward royal authority, as well as critical commonplaces about the oppositional function of political prophecy, for underlying Wynnere and Wastoure is a vision of the imperial prowess of Edward III.
The Tale of Beryn:
Authors: Burrow John 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
After a brief comment on the versification of the Tale of Beryn, the essay considers the anonymous poet's faithful and lively representations of Chaucer's pilgrims as they spend their day in Canterbury, contrasting Beryn's prologue in this respect with Lydgate's prologue to his Siege of Thebes. The second part of this essay argues that the story of Beryn well suits the Merchant who tells it. Beryn, like Chaucer's Merchant, trades overseas and suffers those vicissitudes of Fortune to which merchant-venturers were subject—storms at seas and, in this case particularly, legal problems. But Beryn ends up rich, an appropriate happy ending for a narrator whose talk, as Chaucer wrote, was all about “th’ encrees of his wynnyng.”
“MAS, AFINAL, O QUE É LIBERDADE?”: O ESPETÁCULO LIBERDADE LIBERDADE (1965) E A RESISTÊNCIA CULTURAL AO REGIME MILITAR
Authors: Rosell Mariana Rodrigues 
Published: April 2015

O presente artigo é resultado de pesquisa de Iniciação Científica realizada pela autora com financiamento CNPq entre 2011 e 2012. Trabalhamos a partir da tese de que a resistência civil ao regime militar brasileiro se deu em várias frentes e de diversas formas. Assim, baseamo-nos na hipótese de que há elementos na peça Liberdade Liberdade que permitem pensá-la na chave do frentismo cultural, forma pela qual o Partido Comunista optou na resistência ao regime militar. Identificamos alguns pontos na construção do texto e no conjunto da encenação que colaboram para pensar Liberdade Liberdade como uma precursora da resistência cultural aliancista empreendida pelo PCB e por parte da ala liberal.
“LÁ E DE VOLTA OUTRA VEZ”: O MEDIEVO NA OBRA DE J.R.R. TOLKIEN
Authors: Santos Andrey Augusto Ribeiro dos 
Published: April 2015

O presente artigo tem como intenção demonstrar os primeiros passos da minha pesquisa monográfica, na qual pretendo me debruçar sobre os aspectos medievais presentes nas obras do autor J.R.R. Tolkien. Devido a todo o apelo que estas possuem frente ao grande público, consideramos que se mostram como objetos válidos de estudo das representações da Idade Média no mundo contemporâneo. Assim, apresentarei meus questionamentos e avanços na pesquisa até o momento, com a intenção de demonstrar como o autor, sendo um homem do século XX, poderia ter utilizado o Medievo como refúgio à dura realidade de sua época. Além de tentar explicar o que o grande sucesso destas obras pode nos dizer sobre a relação entre o grande público e sua representação de Idade Média.

O artigo propõe uma investigação tanto do valor do Cine Belas Artes como bem culturais da cidade, como da possibilidade de sua inclusão no acervo do Patrimônio Cultural de São Paulo, adentrando em debates referentes à prática patrimonial no ambiente urbano que o caso em questão suscita.
REPRESENTAÇÕES DA SOCIEDADE BOLIVIANA EM SOLEDAD, DE BARTOLOMÉ MITRE
Authors: Troncozo Mayra Vanessa Villca 
Published: April 2015

Soledad foi escrita pelo argentino Bartolomé Mitre (1821- 1906) durante sua curta passagem pela Bolívia, entre 1846 e 1847. O romance apresenta uma clara dicotomia entre as representações da sociedade colonial e da nova sociedade independente. Neste artigo analisaremos essas representações criadas pelo autor para referir-se ao passado colonial e aos primeiros anos de história independente da Bolívia. Procuraremos demonstrar como Mitre, ao escrever Soledad, estava se posicionando politicamente e legitimando o projeto político do presidente José Ballivián.

Através da análise de anúncios publicitários veiculados nas revistas Manchete e O Cruzeiro durante o período de governo de Juscelino Kubitschek (1956-1961), busca-se neste trabalho compreender as representações políticas, sociais, econômicas e as implicações ideológicas que eles produzem e em meio às quais são produzidos, na época do boom da industrialização do Brasil e – não por coincidência – da profissionalização da nossa publicidade. Para uma compreensão mais aprofundadadeste processo, empreendo aqui um estudo de caso, observando como o tratamento da temática do trabalho nestes anúncios faz parte do desenvolvimento de uma determinada mentalidade a este respeito que se fixa e se expande para diversas áreas da nossa vida, tanto na esfera pública como na privada.
CONSTRUINDO A HELENIZAÇÃO: INTERAÇÕES CULTURAIS ENTRE GRECO-MACEDÔNIOS E AUTÓCTONES NAS OBRAS DE DROYSEN, JOUGUET E MOMIGLIANO.
Authors: Biazotto Thiago Do Amaral 
Published: April 2015

O objetivo deste artigo é feitura de uma discussão teórica do modelo normativo de cultura denominado helenização a partir de três obras magnas: Alexandre: o grande, de Johann Gustav Droysen (1808-1884), El imperialismo macedonico y la helenización del oriente, de Pierre Jouguet (1869-1949), e Alien Wisdom: The Limits of Hellenization, de Arnaldo Momigliano (1908-1987), sendo esta última fundamental no sentido de criticar e limitar a tese de uma helenização absoluta do Oriente a partir das conquistas de Alexandre Magno. Longe de se constituir num conceito estanque, portanto, a helenização possui traços e enunciações que estão em consonância com as épocas em que é formulada, fazendo da reflexão dos porquês de estas diferenças um salutar exercício de pensamento histórico.
EMBATES HISTORIOGRÁFICOS NA ANTIGUIDADE TARDIA: RELEVÂNCIAS SOBRE OS CONCEITOS DE IDENTIDADE, ETNOGÊNESE E TRADITIONSKERN.
Authors: Citon Marlon 
Published: April 2015

Este trabalho tem como proposta analisar os embates historiográficos constituídos na formação de três conceitos: Identidade, Etnogênese e Tradionskern, sobre o período temporal da Antiguidade Tardia, em especial aos embates entre a Universidade de Viena e Toronto. Como parte de um artigo de análise historiográfica, buscamos, de forma sucinta e objetiva, apresentar e problematizar diversas concepções constituídas por autores e linhas interpretativas, apontando determinados embates epistemológicos na formação de terminadas perspectivas. Concerne-se, assim, numa interpretação do historiador frente ao cenário historiográfico de tais trabalhos acadêmicos, nas referentes inclusões e exclusões de obras e autores. Dentro do viés da legitimação historiográfica, tais conceitos referem-se a importantes instrumentais para pensar o contexto do período e fundamentar ideias, tornando-os importantes em uma análise ampla.

REPRESENTAÇÕES E CONSTRUÇÕES DA ANTIGUIDADE POR MEIO DAS SÉRIES DE TV: O CASO DO SERIADO “ROME”
Authors: Menezes Victor Henrique 
Published: April 2015

Este trabalho apresentará algumas considerações acerca da forma como a Roma do séc. I a. C foi representada no seriado “Rome” (2005-2007), produzido pelas redes de televisão HBO, BBC e RAI. Para tal, faremos uma aproximação dos campos da História, Cinema e Televisão. Parte-se do pressuposto de que, assim como os estudos historiográficos, as produções cinematográficas e televisivas são narrativas que criam discursos acerca de determinados momentos do passado, e que, mesmo que não seja as intenções dos produtores (que devem ser consideradas), mostrarão o passado a partir de perspectivas do presente. Destarte, serão analisados alguns dos depoimentos de produtores, diretores e consultores de história que atuaram na produção de “Rome” com o intuito de ponderar acerca das influências do presente nos discursos que foram/são emitidos pela série. Como os produtores procuraram representar a cidade de Roma, bem como as suas possíveis influências, são questionamentos norteadores deste ensaio.

Naar marktgerichte regulering van netwerksectoren
Toezichthouders concluderen te snel dat netwerkgebonden markten een natuurlijk monopolie zijn waarvoor regulering nodig is. Marktprocestheorieën leggen de nadruk op de betwistbaarheid van ieder monopolie, ook in infrastructurele markten. Het gevolg is dat regulering en toezicht meer op afstand geplaatst kunnen worden. De marktprocesbenadering is ook toepasbaar in Nederlandse markten, zoals de energie, de telecommunicatie, luchthavens en de loodsen.
Correspondencia entre la ideología político-educativa del franquismo y el contenido de las asignaturas obligatorias de moral profesional y religión de los estudios enfermeros
Authors: Hernández Conesa Juana María , Torralba Madrid María José , Navarro Perán María Ágeles 
Published: April 2015

<p>Con este estudio hemos establecido la correspondencia entre la ideología y la política-educativa franquista en los estudios enfermeros en España. La investigación pone de manifiesto, a través del análisis gadameriano de los <em>Contenidos </em>de las asignaturas de Moral Profesional y Religión, la determinante influencia de la Iglesia Católica en esta enseñanza. Asimismo, hemos construido un debate específico, hasta ahora inexplorado, acerca de los <em>Contenidos</em> y sus <em>Destinatarios</em>, llevándonos a concluir que, los estudios de Enfermería durante el Franquismo, se determinan como una enseñanza “sin un fin en sí misma”. El cambio de denominación de estos estudios, de Enfermera en Ayudante Técnico Sanitario, relega otros objetivos educativos relacionados con el desarrollo de aptitudes de reflexión crítica y científica. Todo ello implica una <em>redefinición social</em> de esta enseñanza.</p>
Response of the subtropical North Atlantic surface hydrography on deglacial and Holocene AMOC changes
Authors: Repschläger Janne , Weinelt Mara , Kinkel Hanno , Andersen Nils , Garbe‐Schönberg Dieter , Schwab Christian 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThe North Atlantic subtropical gyre (STG) circulates warm waters between 10 and 40°N and is a potential area of heat storage during periods of reduced North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), when warm salt‐rich waters are retained in the subtropics. In this study, we investigated multicentennial to millennial scale changes in subtropical North Atlantic hydrography in response to AMOC changes during the last deglaciation and early Holocene, using sediment cores MD08‐3180 and GEOFAR KF16. The coring site (38°N) is situated near the boundary between transitional eastern North Atlantic waters and STG waters that is formed by the Azores Front. Hydrographic changes are reconstructed using new stable isotope data of benthic and subsurface dwelling planktonic foraminifera, Mg/Ca measurements on planktonic foraminifera, and planktonic foraminifera abundances that are supplemented with published sea surface temperature and stable isotope data. These multiproxy data indicate a close coupling between the latitudinal position of the northern STG boundary and deglacial AMOC modes. During weak AMOC phases (Heinrich event 1, Younger Dryas (YD), 8.2 ka event), Northern Hemisphere subpolar water reached down to the northern STG boundary, displacing the boundary southward. During the Bølling‐Allerød warm period, a strong warming trend of the subtropical region to 19°C is observed. A cooling of the sea surface temperature by 6°C during the YD is accompanied by ongoing northward transport of warm subsurface water that might have contributed to the restart of AMOC.
Frictional properties of fault zone gouges from the J‐FAST drilling project (Mw 9.0 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake)
Authors: Remitti F. , Smith S. A. F. , Mittempergher S. , Gualtieri A. F. , Di Toro G. 
Published: April 2015

AbstractSmectite‐rich fault gouges recovered during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 343 (Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project (J‐FAST)) from the plate boundary slip zone of the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake were deformed at slip velocities of 10 µm s−1 to 3.5 m s−1 and normal stresses up to 12 MPa. Water‐dampened gouges (1) are weaker (apparent friction coefficient, μ* <0.1) than room‐humidity gouges (apparent friction coefficient, μ* ~0.1–0.35) at all slip velocities, (2) are velocity insensitive to velocity weakening at all slip velocities, unlike room‐humidity gouges that are velocity strengthening at intermediate velocities (V = 0.001–0.1 m s−1), and (3) have negligible peak μ* at high slip velocities (V > 0.1 m s−1). A significant amount of amorphous material formed in room‐humidity experiments at low‐ and high‐slip velocities, likely by comminution and disordering of smectite. Our results indicate that the frictional properties of water‐dampened gouges could have facilitated propagation of the Tohoku‐oki rupture to the trench and large coseismic slip at shallow depths.
