The issue of lawfulness of “ritual” circumcision: protection of collective religious identity versus violation of individual’s right to physical integrity ABSTRACT: The present essay deals with the issue regarding the lawfulness of male “ritual” circumcision, that is performed for non-therapeutic reasons. Female genital mutilation (FGM) is considered as a violation of human rights in the Western world; on the contrary, male circumcision for non-therapeutic reasons is currently tolerated. However, in many Countries experts hightlighted the permanent effect of circumcision on bodily integrity and the special importance of the right to self-determination. The Author stresses problems that the circumcision poses in the Italian legal system, considering special legislation related to Jewis (law No. 101/1989) and case law that assesses the practice lawful in case it is performed with the parents’ consent and according to the rules of medical art.

description: Haemaphysalis mageshimaensis Saito and Hoogstraal, 1973
 This is predominantly an East Asian species, found in China, Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, with specimens also recorded from Vietnam (Phan Trong 1977, as Ha. bamunensis; Hoogstraal and Santana 1974; Teng and Jiang 1991; Kolonin 1995). It was first described from Mage Island in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, from vegetation and a single female from a cow (Saito and Hoogstraal 1973). It has since been recorded from various mammal families (Bovidae, Canidae, Cervidae, Felidae, Suidae, Viverridae), with larvae also found on Muridae and passerine birds (Hoogstraal and Santana 1974; Yin and Luo 2007; Kolonin 2009). Reproduction seems to be both sexual (males have been described) and parthenogenetic (Saito and Hoogstraal 1971). These authors also provide information on the life cycle of this species.
 Interestingly, Tsunoda and Tatsuzawa (2004) found that the questing height of this species (and Ha. longicornis) was related to the height of their sika deer (Cervus nippon) hosts, which varies between areas in Japan, as well as the height of the local vegetation.
All stages are described in Saito and Hoogstraal (1973).

Οι κυκλαδικές οικονομίες στηρίχθηκαν, διαχρονικά, στην αγροτική παραγωγή αλλά και στον ορυκτό πλούτο των νησιών. Από την πρώϊμη Αυτοκρατορική περίοδο, μία βαθιά μεταβολή σημαδεύει τις οικονομίες των νησιών. Οι νέοι λιμένες που ιδρύονται αλλά και οι παλιοί, που βελτιώνονται δεν εξυπηρετούν, πια, το διακομιστικό εμπόριο. Συνδέονται με τους χώρους παραγωγής και συσκευασίας προϊόντων «ειδικού τύπου», κυρίως μέταλλα και ορυκτά προϊόντα, που υποστηρίζουν με πρώτες ύλες τις βιοτεχνίες της Ιταλίας. Παράλληλα, είδη διατροφής (εδέσματα “delicatessen”, για τις ανώτερες τάξεις της Ιταλίας), βρίσκουν τον δρόμο τους για τις αγορές της Δύσης.
description: In this project we examine the structures of the economies of the Cyclades, as these were shaped during Hellenistic and Roman periods. Cycladic economies were based, during both periods, on agricultural production. They were also based on mineral extraction and commerce. A new type of port is founded in the early Imperial period: A type of port focused on the commerce of “special quality” goods (mostly mineral products but also “delicatessen” food products, for those who could afford them). Mineral products from Cycladic islands were higly esteemed among Italian manufacturers.
Dialogue journal writing : meaningful written interaction in language and culturally diverse classrooms

description: The study of the Back and Forth book of an eleven years old E.S.L. student introduces a type of personal writing which is argued to facilitate meaningful, written communication in the second language. The present study extends the findings of dialogue journal studies of Staton et al. in two directions. 1. The case study of the Back and Forth book activity presents a "communication triangle" which involves parental participation and thus serves as a bridge between school and home. The reported observations focus on the potentials and limitations of the Back and Forth book task in comparison to other journal writing practices. 2. The analysis of the selected 45 journal entries provides some explanation for the weak realization of the task. The application of Mohan's Knowledge Framework as a means of analyzing student writing provides a c picture of the language and content. The Knowledge framework presents guideline for monitoring the development of language and the development of discourse and content. The inconsistency of the task justifies the present study: the multi-purpose task of the Back and Forth book produces unsatisfactory writing, the research question is of determining its reason and provide a guideline to monitor the task in order to obtain more satisfactory product.

description: Proteinuria and transplant glomerulopathy (TG) are common in kidney transplantation. To date, there is limited knowledge regarding proteinuria in different types of TG and its relationship to allograft survival. A retrospective cohort analysis of TG patients from indication biopsies was performed to investigate the relationship of proteinuria, histology, and graft survival. One hundred and seven (57.5%) out of 186 TG patients lost their grafts with a median survival of 14 [95% confidence interval (CI) 10-22] months after diagnosis. Proteinuria ≥ 1 g/24 h at the time of biopsy was detected in 87 patients (46.8%) and the median of proteinuria was 0.89 (range 0.05-6.90) g/24 h. TG patients with proteinuria ≥ 1 g/24 h had worse 5-year graft survival (29.9% vs. 53.5%, P = 0.001) compared with proteinuria <1 g/24 h. Proteinuria was associated with graft loss in univariable Cox regression [hazard ratio (HR) 1.25, 95% CI, 1.11-1.41, P < 0.001], and in multivariable analysis (adjusted HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.11-1.42, P < 0.001) independent of other risk factors including creatinine at biopsy, positive C4d, history of rejection, and Banff lesion score mesangial matrix expansion. In this cohort of TG patients, proteinuria at indication biopsy is common and associated with a higher proportion of graft loss.

description: eHealth ("electronic" Health) is a new field in medicine that has the potential to change medical care, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. In this review, we analyzed the current status of eHealth in transplantation by performing a PubMed search over the last 5 years with a focus on clinical studies for post-transplant care. We retrieved 463 manuscripts, of which 52 clinical reports and eight randomized controlled trials were identified. Most studies were on kidney (n = 19), followed by liver (n = 10), solid organ (n = 7), bone-marrow (n = 6), and lung transplantation (n = 6). Eleven articles included adolescents/children. Investigated eHealth features covered the whole spectrum with mobile applications for patients (n = 24) and video consultations (n = 18) being most frequent. Prominent topics for patient apps were self-management (n = 16), adherence (n = 14), symptom-reporting (11), remote monitoring of vital signs (n = 8), educational (n = 7), and drug reminder (n = 7). In this review, we discuss opportunities and strengths of such new eHealth solutions, the implications for successful implementation into the healthcare process, the human factor, data protection, and finally, the need for better evidence from prospective clinical trials in order to confirm the claims on better patient care, potential efficiency gains and cost savings.

description: Στην πάροδο του χρόνου οι Ιστορίες έχουν απασχολήσει την έρευνα ως απόθεμα ιστορικών πληροφοριών για το γεγονός που πραγματεύονται, τη στερέωση και εξάπλωση της κυριαρχίας της Ρώμης, και μεθοδολογικών παρατηρήσεων για τη θεωρία και πράξη της ιστοριογραφίας. Ο Πολύβιος ως ιστορικός θεωρήθηκε εφάμιλλος του Θουκυδίδη για την αξιοπιστία της περιγραφής του, δεν τιμήθηκε όμως με ισοδύναμο τρόπο ούτε με την ίδια προσοχή ως συγγραφέας. Η παρούσα μελέτη προσφέρει μια συστηματική αφηγηματολογική προσέγγιση του έργου, επιχειρώντας να εντοπίσει τη λογοτεχνικότητά του στις συνθετικές αρετές του δημιουργού του και στις τεχνικές με τις οποίες θεματοποιούνται και μεταδίδονται οι βασικές ιδέες του. Στο ερευνητικό αυτό πλαίσιο οι διάφορες τεχνικές της αφηγηματικής παρουσίασης υπηρετούν και σχετίζονται άμεσα με τις θεματικές ανάγκες και την ιδεολογία του συνθέματος. Οι αφηγηματικές μετατοπίσεις και αντιστίξεις, οι μεταβολές στη σειρά και την εστίαση, ο συγχρονισμός των παράλληλων δράσεων κι οι αυξομειώσεις στη διάρκεια και τη συχνότητα επηρεάζουν καθοριστικά την ερμηνεία των γεγονότων και ελέγχουν την πρόσληψη και την κατανόησή τους από τον αποδέκτη.
description: While Histories have been extensively used as source for valuable information about Rome’s rise to universal dominion and methodological considerations on historiographical theory and practice, its literary aspects have received only marginal scholarly attention. Polybius has ranked with Thucydides in so far as concerns his objectivity and reliability, but he has not been celebrated in an analogous manner for his narrative artistry. The present study provides a systematic narratological analysis of the Polybian text, in an attempt to detect its literariness in the compositional virtues of its writer and the techniques through which its basic ideas are thematized and communicated. Within this investigatory framework the use of narrative techniques correlates with the thematic concerns of the Polybian text and the ideological forces operating in it. The text’s displacements and juxtapositions, together with its variations of pace, frequency, order and focalization, and its masterly use of synchronicity, affect decisively its reception and interpretation.

description: Sloths are genetically and physiologically divergent mammals. Phleboviruses are major arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) causing disease in humans and other animals globally. Sloths host arboviruses, but virus detections are scarce. A phlebovirus termed Anhanga virus (ANHV) was isolated from a Brazilian Linnaeus's two-toed sloth (Choloepus didactylus) in 1962. Here, we investigated the presence of phleboviruses in sera sampled in 2014 from 74 Hoffmann's two-toed (Choloepus hoffmanni, n = 65) and three-toed (Bradypus variegatus, n = 9) sloths in Costa Rica by broadly reactive RT-PCR. A clinically healthy adult Hoffmann's two-toed sloth was infected with a phlebovirus. Viral load in this animal was high at 8.5 × 107 RNA copies/ml. The full coding sequence of the virus was determined by deep sequencing. Phylogenetic analyses and sequence distance comparisons revealed that the new sloth virus, likely representing a new phlebovirus species, provisionally named Penshurt virus (PEHV), was most closely related to ANHV, with amino acid identities of 93.1%, 84.6%, 94.7% and 89.0% in the translated L, M, N and NSs genes, respectively. Significantly more non-synonymous mutations relative to ANHV occurred in the M gene encoding the viral glycoproteins and in the NSs gene encoding a putative interferon antagonist compared to L and N genes. This was compatible with viral adaptation to different sloth species and with micro-evolutionary processes associated with immune evasion during the genealogy of sloth-associated phleboviruses. However, gene-wide mean dN/dS ratios were low at 0.02–0.15 and no sites showed significant evidence for positive selection, pointing to comparable selection pressures within sloth-associated viruses and genetically related phleboviruses infecting hosts other than sloths. The detection of a new phlebovirus closely-related to ANHV, in sloths from Costa Rica fifty years after and more than 3,000 km away from the isolation of ANHV confirmed the host associations of ANHV-related phleboviruses with the two extant species of two-toed sloths.

The Children Act: alla ricerca del “superiore interesse del minore” tra famiglie, comunità religiose e giudici

The Children Act: Finding the best interests of the child between family, religious community and the court ABSTRACT: Connections that bring together law and literature unceasingly prove to be very meaningful. Ian McEwan’s novel, The Children Act, offers an intriguing example of law in literature, cannily managing the complex theme of religion and justice. A young Jehovah’s Witness affected by a severe disease refuses to have his life saved by a blood transfusion. The Family Court finds in favour of the medical treatment against the child and his family’s convictions but the ruling triggers an unpredictable chain of events culminating in a tragic epilogue. Similarities between the novel and real law cases about refusals of medical treatments on religious grounds are traced throughout the article, which aims at analysing the controversial relations among the subjects and interests involved when dealing with a child medical consent and conscientious objections, mainly the duties of the family, the rights of the child and the responsibilities of the state. Concluding remarks will highlight that, in order for the child to express an autonomous and informed consent, a thorough and critical education is needed, provided through a pluralistic learning environment and an inclusive social framework, as international bodies - like the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child - clearly suggest.

Pavement condition evaluation using field data of surface deflection and tire-pavement noise
Creators: name: Rakvi, Aishwarya Milind
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Pavements are used in roads, bridges, parking lots, runways, and driveways to provide a smooth surface with adequate coefficient of friction for quick and efficient transportation. Pavement deterioration occurs due to overuse of the pavement materials, traffic loading, weather uncertainties, surface distresses and other environmental factors. It is essential to maintain and enhance the durability of the pavement structure to increase its service life. Flexible and rigid pavements are the two types which are commonly used. Several mixture types, materials and preservation treatments are used to increase the strength and durability of pavement. Since pavement construction and maintenance is a thriving industry, there are several testing methods and software which are used to record pavement performance and find new ways to make it cost-effective and sustainable.Pavement surface deflections measurement is one of the methods which is used to determine the bearing capacity of the pavement. Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) is one of the most commonly used devices to measure surface deflections and is considered effective to backcalculate the pavement layer moduli. However, one of the disadvantages of using FWD is that it is a stationary measuring device which leads to traffic disruptions while collecting the data. TSD is newly developed device which measures the surface deflections at traffic speed. In order to incorporate TSD deflections into pavement management systems (PMS), it is essential to compare it with FWD to check whether TSD is reliable. In this study, methods like Multiple Regression Analysis, Limit of Agreement (LOA), Backcalculation of layer moduli using BAKFAA software and Correlation of surface deflections with surface distress were performed for both the devices. Lastly, it was evident that there needs to be significant increase in the amount of research studies and experiments before TSD can replace FWD and can be fully implemented in the pavement management systems.In addition to surface deflection, tire - pavement noise method is another way of determining pavement performance. In this study further analyses were performed on tire-pavement noise for flexible pavements like Dense Graded Asphalt, Stone Mastic Asphalt, and Open Graded Friction Course using On-Board Sound Intensity (OBSI) method. The factors like temperature, aging of pavement, surface distresses and pavement preservation techniques were analyzed to determine their effects on the tire-pavement noise. In conclusion, it was observed that the Open Graded Friction Course (OGFC) was quietest pavement.

description: BACKGROUND: Adult donor platelets (PLTs) are frequently transfused to prevent or stop bleeding in neonates with thrombocytopenia. There is evidence for PLT transfusion-related morbidity and mortality, leading to the hypothesis on immunomodulatory effects of transfusing adult PLTs into neonates. Candidate factors are biologic response modifiers (BRMs) that are expressed at higher rates in adult than in neonatal PLTs. This study investigated whether storage conditions or preparation methods impact on the release of those differentially expressed BRMs. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Pooled PLT concentrates (PCs) and apheresis PCs (APCs) were stored under agitation for up to 7 days at room temperature (RT) or at 2 to 8 degrees C. The BRMs CCL5/RANTES, TGF beta 1, TSP1, and DKK1 were measured in PCs' supernatant, lysate, and corresponding plasma. PLT function was assessed by light transmission aggregometry. RESULTS: Concerning the preparation method, higher concentrations of DKK1 were found in pooled PCs compared to APCs. In supernatants, the concentrations of CCL5, TGF beta 1, TSP1, and DKK1 significantly increased, both over standard (≤ 4 days) and over extended storage times (7 days). Each of the four BRMs showed an up to twofold increase in concentration after storage at RT compared to cold storage (CS). There was no difference in the aggregation capacity. CONCLUSION: This analysis shows that the release of adult-specific BRMs during storage is lowest in short- and CS APCs. Our study points to strategies for reducing the exposure of sick neonates to BRMs that can be specifically associated to PLT transfusion-related morbidity.

title: Investigating preference heterogeneity for restoring estuarine ecosystem services

description: Given the general decline of estuarine ecosystem services (ES), policy makers require to understand further the drivers and barriers to increase society’s support for policies restoring them. The objective of this study is to identify significant sources of preference heterogeneity for improvements in flood control, recreation and biodiversity levels, resulting from tax-funded restoration projects that would be developed in the Clyde, Forth, and Tay catchment. We used data from a discrete choice experiment conducted in Scotland and applied several choice modelling techniques (e.g. MNL, RPL, HMXL, posterior analysis) to explore the effect of respondents socioeconomic characteristics, their latent attitudes and the local geographical context on their preferences towards policies managing estuarine ES. We found a positive and significant willingness to pay (WTP) for improving all ES, although differences in WTP estimates exist for all estuarine ES, across catchments and between user types. Recreation values were found to be lower on average than either flood control or biodiversity conservation, while preference differences emerge due to whether people live within a catchment and whether they visit it for recreational purposes or not. People visiting the areas for doing outdoor activities presented a higher latent environmental consciousness attitude. Moreover, environmentally conscious individuals showed stronger preferences for management alternatives delivering estuarine ES improvements. Finally, the presence of significant local clusters of WTP estimates suggests that respondents’ preferences interact with their immediate spatial context. Nonetheless, the local clusters of WTP for estuarine ES improvements are distributed similarly in space regardless of the ES in question, or the estuary under consideration. The research findings can be informative for designing more efficient and contextualised policies. Moreover, they can be helpful in raising the social acceptability of the policies aiming to manage estuarine ES in Scotland.
Communicative computer use in French as a second language learning

description: Many second language (L2) teachers are concerned about the use of computers in the classroom and question the value of using them if they do not promote meaningful interaction. Research performed on French as a Second Language (FSL) students’ language interaction at the computer agrees with Mohan's (1986) research on English as a Second Language students' language interaction which suggests that the quantity and quality of interaction is lower during computer tasks compared to conversation. Secondly, analysis of the codeswitching (CS) of the FSL students' interaction suggests that intersentential CS shows functional variation in discourse during computer use compared to conversation. This study examines the use of the computer to facilitate interaction as well as the possible role of CS in second language acquisition.

Epilogo. Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero. The Power of the Words ABSTRACT: Set during the reign of the emperor Nero, Quo Vadis tells the story of the love that develops between a young Christian woman and a Roman officer who, after meeting her fellow Christians, converts to her religion. Underlying their relationship, the novel becomes a good stratagem to emphasize the contrast between the worldly opulence of the Roman Empire and the poverty and spiritual power of the Christians, whose concepts would play a crucial role during the long history of the Western Legal System. With this paper the Author tries to explain how important a novel like Quo Vadis could be in order to better understand the strong impact of the Christian tradition on the history of Western constitutionalism.

Considerazioni conclusive. Legal features of the sacred in pluralist systems. Recent developments in the Canadian constitutional legal order ABSTRACT: Nowadays the concept of "sacred" is characterised by a pluralization of the religious phenomena, which are barely defined from a legal point of view by the State. One of the criticalities of this scenario lies in the fact that there is no uniqueness on the limits that the State determines in outlining the boundaries of a religion. The risk of this lack of precise limits could be, inter alia, the offense to religious sentiment. The Author investigates the legal provisions that limit offences to religious sentiment such as the crime of hate speech and blasphemy in Canada. The latter is in fact a pluralist system considered as a good example for other States.

The targum (1949:May 3 - 1949:May 20)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1949

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Haemaphysalis megalaimae Rajagopalan, 1963
 This is a widely distributed species for which relatively few records are available, presumably due to its specificity for barbet birds (Megalaimidae). It has been recorded from Thailand (Tanskul et al. 1983), as well as from India (Rajagopalan 1963) and Japan (Hoogstraal and Kim 1985). These hosts are arboreal, nesting in tree holes, and Ha. megalaimae has never been collected from ground-dwelling hosts, suggesting that it is also confined to the host’s tree habitat (Geevarghese and Mishra 2011).
 Rajagopalan (1963) describes all life history stages; Trapido et al. (1964b) illustrate the larval capitulum and the nymphal capitulum, coxae and trochanters.

The exercise of freedom of religion and freedom of expression can led into this kind of phenomena that could be taken into consideration by law, like hate speech and religious hate speech. The paper tries to approach two particular form of hate speech, the political and the religious one, to check if some alternative models of protection could be implemented to assure an effective protection of minorities without any sacrifice of individual fundamental rights.

description: The BEST1 gene product bestrophin-1, a Ca2+-dependent anion channel, interacts with CaV1.3 Ca2+ channels in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). BEST1 mutations lead to Best vitelliform macular dystrophy. A common functional defect of these mutations is reduced trafficking of bestrophin-1 into the plasma membrane. We hypothesized that this defect affects the interaction partner CaV1.3 channel affecting Ca2+ signaling and altered RPE function. Thus, we investigated the protein interaction between CaV1.3 channels and bestrophin-1 by immunoprecipitation, CaV1.3 activity in the presence of mutant bestrophin-1 and intracellular trafficking of the interaction partners in confluent RPE monolayers. We selected four BEST1 mutations, each representing one mutational hotspot of the disease: T6P, F80L, R218C, and F305S. Heterologously expressed L-type channels and mutant bestrophin-1 showed reduced interaction, reduced CaV1.3 channel activity, and changes in surface expression. Transfection of polarized RPE (porcine primary cells, iPSC-RPE) that endogenously express CaV1.3 and wild-type bestrophin-1, with mutant bestrophin-1 confirmed reduction of CaV1.3 surface expression. For the four selected BEST1 mutations, presence of mutant bestrophin-1 led to reduced CaV1.3 activity by modulating pore-function or decreasing surface expression. Reduced CaV1.3 activity might open new ways to understand symptoms of Best vitelliform macular dystrophy such as reduced electro-oculogram, lipofuscin accumulation, and vision impairment.
