Abstract:

Colin Wesley Ward's professional life played out at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) laboratory on Royal Parade, Parkville, Victoria, where he was a scientist, leader, raconteur, colleague and friend to several generations of staff who worked there. Ward's scientific legacy encompasses large bodies of work on antigenic variation in influenza viruses, the taxonomy of plant viruses, veterinary vaccines and the structure and function of several growth factor receptors. On retirement from CSIRO he continued work on the insulin receptor with colleagues at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, conceived of and founded CSIRO pedia and compiled his family history.

Abstract:

Was heißt es, Colin Ward einen Akt des Denkens (als Schreiben) zu widmen? Für mich bedeutet es, innezuhalten, um die Misopädie der modernen Urbanisierung und des damit verbundenen Schulsystems zu erkennen und aufmerksam zu studieren. Der Ausdruck Misopädie ist verwandt mit Begriffen wie Misogynie und Misanthropie. Er bezeichnet eine Antipathie gegenüber Kindern und Kindheit (vgl. Rollo 2018) und bleibt in der wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung ein großer blinder Fleck. Es geht, anders gesagt, um Adultismus (vgl. Bonnardel 2015; Liebel 2020). Sich mit einem Denker wie Colin Ward zu beschäftigen bedeutet, sich ernsthaft zu bemühen, Kinder und Kindheit lieben zu lernen, indem man erkennt, dass die Moderne Kinder und Kindheit systematischer Unfreiheit, Marginalisierung und Unterdrückung aussetzt. Städte stehen Kindern und Kindheit ausgesprochen gleichgültig gegenüber, wie Ward an diversen Beispielen zeigt. Ich gehe davon aus, dass Misopädie ein Grundpfeiler moderner industrieller Bestrebungen ist, die ihren maßgeblichen Ausdruck in Urbanisierung und Beschulung finden. Es waren nie Fragen der intergenerationellen Nachhaltigkeit oder der Herausbildung von Gemeinschaft, die Stadtplanung und schulische Bildung antrieben. Wards Arbeit sollte jedoch nicht allein als Thematisierung der Unfreiheit von Kindern in ihren städtischen Umwelten verstanden werden. Vielmehr kann man sie als Entschleierung einer unerkannten Dimension der Unfreiheit aller Menschen – egal welchen Alters – gegenüber ihrer Umwelt lesen. Autor*innen wie Colin Ward leisten insofern einen wichtigen Beitrag, als sie dafür sorgen, dass wir nicht vergessen, dass Kinder und Kindheit Teil einer umfassenderen Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehung sind.

Abstract:

It began in 1992, with two men walking out of a television studio. Colin Blakemore, Oxford Professor of Physiology, is a quiet-spoken, eloquent defender of the use of animals in medical research. Les Ward, Director of the Edinburgh-based Advocates for Animals, is a passionate opponent of animal use. Bringing them together in front of an invited audience with strong opinions on both sides would make the sparks fly and be good viewing. But Blakemore and Ward, retiring after yet another bout that neither side won, were dissatisfied. Both knew that media debates gave them a chance to highlight the flaws and evasions in the other side's arguments, and perhaps to recruit some new supporters to their own. But Ward realized that this was not enough to achieve the radical change he wanted: replacement of animals by other methods. And Blakemore disliked defending animal experiments against all comers. He too wanted to replace animals, albeit only when this could be done without forgoing the real benefits of research.

Abstract:

Das Buch Das Kind in der Stadt (1978) des Schriftstellers, Architekten, Sozialhistorikers, Ethnographen und Anarchisten Colin Ward ist eine Hommage an Kinder in der Großstadt. Der Autor nimmt hierbei zwei Positionen ein: diejenige des Forschers und diejenige des gesellschaftspolitischen Aktivisten. Als Forscher untersucht er die Entwicklung von Großstädten unter der Fragestellung, wie sie den Lebensraum von Kindern beeinflussen. Dabei betrachtet er das Kind nicht als Opfer großstädtischer Entwicklungen, vielmehr richtet sich sein Fokus auf das aktive Handeln von Kindern, sich ihre städtische Umwelt trotz aller Einschränkungen eigensinnig anzueignen. Der Aktivist Ward wiederum fordert, aus den Erkenntnissen Konsequenzen zu ziehen und stellt Projekte vor, die er als gelungene „exemplarische Modelle“ (1978: 198) würdigt. Dies sind Modelle, die zum einen in Eigenregie von Kindern und Erwachsenen geplant und realisiert werden, und zum anderen nicht nur Kindern zugutekommen, sondern der gesamten Ortsgesellschaft dienen.

Abstract:

Colin Ward gilt als einer der einflussreichsten anarchistischen Denker und Schriftsteller der letzten Jahrzehnte. Seine Studie „The Child in the City“ ist eine Hommage an alle Kinder in der Stadt; sie besticht durch ihre äußerst vielschichtige und sensible Beschreibung der Beziehung zwischen jungen Menschen und ihrer städtischen Umwelt. Die Originalausgabe seines Buches erschien 1977 bei Architectural Press, London; die deutsche Ausgabe bereits ein Jahr später im Fischer Verlag, Frankfurt am Main. Da das Buch seit langem vergriffen und nur in wenigen Bibliotheken verfügbar ist, möchten wir durch den nachfolgenden Abdruck zumindest Teile dieser wertvollen Studie (wieder) einem größeren Publikum zugänglich machen. Sowohl die Originalausgabe als auch die deutsche Übersetzung sind mit eindrucksvollen Fotographien reich bebildert. Diese können hier bedauerlicherweise nicht mit abgedruckt werden, machen die Suche nach einem Druckexemplar aber umso lohnender. Wir laden alle Leser*innen ein, Wards Beobachtungen und Betrachtungsweisen zu folgen, um städtische Räume und Orte auch als solche der Kindheit in den Blick zu nehmen.

Abstract:

Abstract Both courts of law and political theorists have grappled with the problem of giving the concept of ‘need’ a place in our reasoning about the rights and wrongs of property regimes. But in the U.K., legal changes in the last fifteen years have eroded the legal possibilities for striking some compromise between the claims of the needy and the rights of property owners. Against this backdrop this article compares three theoretical accounts of how the fact of human need should impact upon our thinking about property rights: the rights-based arguments of Jeremy Waldron, the radical democratic theory of Lawrence Hamilton and the anarchist commentary of Colin Ward. While ‘theories’ of need have paid much attention to the nature of need ‘itself’, the article argues that this comparison reveals another issue that is just as important: where and how should claims of need be registered in legal and political processes?

Abstract:

La búsqueda de un equilibrio entre la expresión del individuo y de la comunidad en la arquitectura moderna tiene en las experiencias de participación ciudadana un modelo transformador del método de proyecto y de las prácticas profesionales del arquitecto. En este sentido, el objetivo de esta investigación es entender que la relación dialogada de ambos sobre la arquitectura, la ciudad y el territorio puede aspirar a alcanzar esta armonía. Metodológicamente, nos servimos de los escritos, ideas y la labor desempeñada por el pensador anarquista británico Colin Ward en los años 60 y 70 del siglo XX en la que demostró cómo en tres escenarios urbanos: el terreno baldío, la calle y la ciudad se puede incitar y promover el diálogo productivo entre la arquitectura y la comunidad, especialmente, a través de una nueva pedagogía con los niños, quienes serán los futuros ciudadanos. Se concluye que cuando se concibe toda la ciudad como escuela, el carácter pedagógico del diálogo participado con la comunidad vislumbra los múltiples intentos, actuales y futuros, para establecer una relación de poder horizontal con esta. Esto alberga la esperanza de que la comunidad adquiera mayores responsabilidades y, con ello, la posibilidad de lograr pequeñas revoluciones.

Abstract:

Privatisation of British water services has dramatically reconfigurcd both production and consumption intercsts. While critics such as John Ernst decry a growing service inequity, PeterSaunders and Colin Harris celebrate enhanced consumer benefits. Closer investigation of new styles of utility network management reveal spatially complex patterns of social, econornic and environmental change. While worries over the social and public health implications of water poverly grow, the environrnental dividends of privatised water supply become clearer. The paper identifies two recently emcrging logics of networks management; the first prioritises thc shaping of demand over the expansion of supply capacity; the second prioritises the recovery of water charges over the social am! health needs of low income households. These logics highlight powerful resonanccs and dissonances between the economic and environmental bencfits of the commodification process and the social and health costs associated with a sharpening polarisation in access to basic water services.

Abstract:

Background: Neonatal period is the most vulnerable phase in a child's life. The aim and goal of newborn care is not only to reduce neonatal mortality but more importantly to ensure their survival to the fullest. The neonatal mortality rate of India is 22 per 1000 live births. The neonatal period is only for 28 days yet it accounts for significant deaths under 5 years of age. Newborn morbidity and mortality contribute significantly to the infant mortality and under-five mortality rates in developing countries. About two-thirds of all infant deaths and 38% of all under-five deaths occur during the neonatal period, resulting in about 4 million neonatal deaths globally per year. Infant and under-five mortality ratio in developing countries have declined significantly in the past couple of decades, yet neonatal mortality rates have remained relatively static. The objective of this study was to understand the outcome of guided newborn care along with the patterns and determinants of essential newborn care and practices.Methods: A prospective cohort study was done among new borns in the postnatal ward and the outpatient (OPD) based new borns at HMCH Bhubaneswar from July 2020 to June 2021. The mothers in the postnatal ward were taught cord care, skin care, optimal thermal care and neonatal feeding practices. The regular follow-up was done maximum up to 7 days. New born who came to OPD were evaluated on perspective of essential new born care and practices, followed by their mothers at home. A questionnaire was formulated for the OPD based patients to be answered before and after guidance.Results: 100 early neonates were taken (N=50 from postnatal ward and N=50 from OPD). Out of 50 neonates in the postnatal ward. 4 (8%) had abdominal colic, 10 (20%) had skin rashes, 2 (4%) had fever, 5 (10%) had feeding issues and 9 (18%) had neonatal hyperbilirubinemia respectively. In OPD neonates 3 (6%) were diagnosed with early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS), 7 (14%) had refusal to feed, 12 (24%) had skin rashes, 5 (10%) had abdominal colic, 14 (28%) were applying coconut oil and 7 (14%) developed hyperbilirubinemia. Whereas in OPD 5 (10%) neonates needed admission NICU and rest were managed symptomatically.Conclusions: New born care education and guidance helped in reduction of EONS, in gaining appropriate weight, in delivering optimal thermal care, practicing healthy skin care and implementing proper feeding techniques. All mothers need proper counselling and guidance in essential new born care.

Abstract:

Introduction: Pain control is an essential care for patients with renal colic in emergency wards. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of intravenous (IV) paracetamol (PC) versus ketorolac (KET) for patients with renal colic. Patients and Methods: In a randomized controlled clinical trial, 110 patients with renal colic referred to the emergency department of Kosar hospital, Semnan between October 2015 and June 2016 were selected. Eighty-eight patients were divided into two groups (44 patients in each group) of PC (1 g/IV) and KET (30 mg/IV). One patient in each group was excluded during the study. Vital signs and pain severity (measured by visual analogue scale [VAS]) of all patients were recorded at admission time 0, 20, 40 and 60 minutes after treatment. Then, the results were compared in two groups. Results: The results showed that at the time of 0, 20, 40 and 60 minutes after the administration of the PC and KET drugs, no significant difference was seen in severity of pain based on VAS score between the two groups (P<0.05). Moreover, there were no significant differences in the vital signs of two groups (P<0.05). No adverse effects were reported in each group. Conclusion: In conclusion, the use of IV-PC and KET in patients with renal colic had similar pain relieving effects without any adverse effects.

BACKGROUND: Sigmoid volvulus is a serious condition due to rotation of sigmoid colon. Volvulusoften presents with abdominal colic and distention. It can be managed conservatively by colonoscopicdecompression, followed by optimization of patient and finally surgical procedure. The present studywas based on the comparison of resection of sigmoid colon and double barrel colostomy or resection andprimary anastomosisOBJECTIVE: Objective of the study was to compare the results of primary anastomosis and colostomyin patients presenting with sigmoid volvulus.METHODOLOGY: In this study a total of 48 patients with sigmoid volvulus coming to Accident &Emergency Department were included. All the patients were examined and investigated. After diagnosisbased on x-ray erect abdomen all the patients were admitted in Accident and Emergency ward. Afteradmission Full Blood count, urea, sugar, S. Electrolysis and ECG were also performed. Patients werecatheterized and a nasogastric tube passed for gastric decompression. All the patients were givenintravenous fluids antibiotics and prepared for surgery as facilities for colonoscopic sigmoidscopicdecompression were not available and decompressions by rectal tube was unsuccessfulRESULTS: Among the cases with sigmoid volvulus there were 36 males and 12 were females. Majority28 cases were in age range of 61-70 years. Eight patients had gangrene of sigmoid colon, 23 patients hadresection and colostomy while 20 had resection and primary anastomosis. Among the postoperativecomplications, 05 patients had wound infection and 01 wound dehiscence. Two patients died because ofsepsis and cardiopulmonary complications.CONCLUSION: Patients presenting as acute abdomen should have urgent laparotomy as soon aspossible. Decompression by colonoscope is the gold standard procedure for stable patients with sigmoidvolvulus. Sigmoidectomy and primary anastomosis is the procedure of choice as it not only avoidssecond admission and operation, but it also avoids the side effects and care of stoma, which is majorcause of morbidity and mortality.

ABSTRACT Background: Gallstones are the presence of bile clay in the gallbladder or bile ducts. The disease can be asymptomatic or symptomatic and can lead to complications and consequently a worse prognosis, such as acute cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, cholangitis, and acute pancreatitis. The risk of complications increases after the first episode of biliary colic. Objective: A clinical-epidemiological evaluation of patients admitted to a gastroenterology ward of a tertiary care hospital with gallstone-related complications. Methods: We evaluated 158 patients admitted through discharge reports and medical records analysis from January 1, 2013, to February 24, 2021. Results: The female sex was predominant (76.6%), and the mean age of patients was 51.6 years. Men were significantly older than women (P=0.005). Most (57.6%) had some comorbidity, the most frequent being systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. The mean hospitalization time was 24 days, significantly longer in men (P=0.046) but without a direct relationship with age (P=0.414). The most frequent complication was choledocholithiasis, and 55.7% of patients without previous cholecystectomy had a report of biliary colic before admission, on average 1.5 years previously. A history of a prior cholecystectomy was present in 17.1% of those evaluated. Abdominal ultrasonography followed by magnetic resonance cholangiography was the most frequently performed exam for diagnostic definition. Regarding therapeutic measures, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was necessary for 47.3% of patients without previous cholecystectomy and 81.4% of patients who have already had a cholecystectomy. Among patients not yet cholecystectomized, 84% underwent the procedure before discharge. Conclusion: The female patients were predominant. Men were significantly older than women and had more extended hospital stays. The most frequent complication was choledocholithiasis, and around half of the patients reported previous biliary colic. endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography has been necessary for the majority of the patients.

Abstract:

Background: Pancreatic disorders are one of the commonest abdominal disorders presented to a surgeon. The study focuses on demographic profile, clinical presentation and outcome of pancreatic disorders. Methods: All cases of pancreatic disorders admitted to surgical ward were included in this study. The clinical presentations, laboratory and radiographic investigations were recorded. Statistical analysis was done on SPSS software version 21. Results: Majority of patients belong to age group of 41-50 years (48%) with male predominance (3.2:1). However, the mean age was 36.06 years. Most common presentation was acute pancreatitis (68%) but the findings were not significant (p>0.05). Alcohol and biliary colic remained the majority of cause for pancreatic disorders. Conclusions: Pancreatic disorders are common in males in 5th decade of life. Alcohol and biliary calculi are the most common culprits for pancreatic disorders.

Abstract:

Background: Infantile colic is a benign condition and a common cause that made parents to seek medical advice in the early three months of life. It is defined as paroxysms of crying and fussiness more than three hours per day, more than three days in a week for three weeks in a healthy infant from fourteen days to four months of life .The real cause still unknown but underlying organic causes less than 5%. Aim of the study: To evaluate the mother's attitude about infantile colic. Patient and Method: A cross sectional hospital-based study done on 200 mothers whose baby had infantile colic to evaluate mother’s knowledge about treatment of their problem, the study was done at the Pediatric consulting department of Salah-Alden General Hospital during the period from 2nd January to 30th August 2021 selected not randomly. The Mother’s knowledge were taken by the wards of the mother without interference and without guidance, the source of the knowledge depend whether it is taken from her previous experience, her relatives and friends, health care provider, from social media. Regarding educational level of the mothers were divided into illiterate, read and write, primary school, secondary school and college. Regarding the type of formula, the formulas divided into the types as AC formula, AD formula regardless the name of the company. Results: The study showed that the high rate of males and females children enrolled in this study was in 2 months of age (29.73 and 30.34% respectively). The majority of children were belonged to families lived in urban area. 52% of the mothers consulted physician, 50.5% consulted medical staff. Most of mothers haven’t knowledge about infantile colic 63.5%, and 17% acquired their knowledge from previous experience or relatives and friends. 30% of mothers were completed primary school, 27% were illiterate, 19% read and write and 13% for each of secondary school and college. The high rates of most mothers with variety education levels haven’t previous experience. Conclusions: The study showed that the high rate of children was in 2 months of age and belonged to families lived in urban area. Most of the mothers consulted doctor and health care providers and most of them haven’t experience about infantile colic and manage it by anti-colic drugs and changing of formula.

Abstract:

Background: Uretolithiasis is one of the most common cause of urinary tract obstruction which leads to the admission into the emergency ward. The detection of urolithiasis or acute renal colic is by the radiography, conventional ultrasonography (US) and intravenous urography (IVU). A colour Doppler USG measures this change as a resistive index (RI) of the arcuate arteries at the corticomedullary junction or the interlobar arteries.Methods: 84 patients between the ages 15-50 years, who were admitted to the Emergency department of our hospital with unilateral renal colic were included into our study. Detailed demographic data was collected from all the patients and they were all subjected to a thorough physical and clinical examination. Bladder ultrasound was taken along with color Doppler for all the patients at the time of admission for every 6 hours. Thus, an increased RI index signifies an obstruction without a dilatation.Results: Left flank pain was slightly more than the right flank pain, although this was not found to be significant. Most of the patients were presented with vomiting or nausea and dysuria was seen in 48 patients. there were 41 cases of hydronephrosis in total and all of them were positive for mean RI. The specificity with the mean resistive index with color Doppler was 90%, while the sensitivity was 100%. Around 95% of the prediction was accurate with mean resistive index, with more than 90% efficiency.Conclusions: The mean resistive index is a very good tool for the diagnosis of hydronephrosis, with a very high level of specificity and sensitivity.

Abstract:

In a regional oncology hospital using cotrimoxazole (trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole) prophylaxis during chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, a single strain ofEscherichia coli(indole negative) caused 15 of 27 episodes of Gram-negative rod bacteremia in 1987, and four of 32 such episodes in 1988. This biotype had not been recovered in 1986. Investigations during this ‘outbreak’ of bacteremias revealed enteric colonization with this strain ofE coliin 37% of patients on leukemia or bone marrow transplant wards and in several staff members in July 1987. In 1988, 11 of 32 Gram-negative rod bacteremias were secondary to other strains of indole positiveE coliof several different biotypes and plasmid profiles. Indole negative strains all exhibited low level trimethoprim resistance, whereas indole positive strains which subsequently appeared exhibited high level trimethoprim resistance. Failure of cotrimoxazole prophylaxis was initially due to the clonal dissemination of a single strain ofE coliwithin the institution, with the subsequent appearance of multipleE colistrains with probable differing genetic bases for their resistance.

Abstract:

We present the case of a 45-year-old man, who presented to his local casualty department with severe epigastric pain following an alcohol binge, and was subsequently diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Pancreatic necrosis with multiple collections ensued, necessitating transfer to an intensive care unit (ITU) in a tertiary hepatopancreaticobiliary centre. Initially, the patient appeared to slowly improve and was discharged to the ward, albeit following a prolonged ITU admission. However, during his subsequent recovery, he suffered multiple episodes of haematemesis and melaena associated with haemodynamic instability and requiring repeat admission to the ITU. Computerised tomographic angiography, followed by visceral angiography, was used to confirm the diagnosis of multisite visceral artery pseudoaneurysms, secondary to severe, necrotising pancreatitis. Pseudoaneurysms of the splenic, left colic and gastroduodenal arteries were sequentially, and successfully, radiologically embolised over a period of 9 days. Subsequent sequelae of radiological embolisation included a clinically insignificant splenic infarct, and a left colonic infarction associated with subsequent enterocutaneous fistula formation. The patient made a prolonged, but successful, recovery and was discharged from hospital after 260 days as an in-patient. This case illustrates the rare complication of three separate pseudoaneurysms, secondary to acute pancreatitis, successfully managed radiologically in the same patient. This case also highlights the necessity for multidisciplinary involvement in the management of pseudoaneurysms, an approach that is often most successfully achieved in a tertiary setting.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Canadian hospitals as well as hospitals worldwide are increasingly faced with antibiotic-resistant pathogens, including multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of pathogens, including the resistance genotypes of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and extendedspectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producingEscherichia coliin Canadian hospitals, as well as their antimicrobial resistance patterns. MEtHODS: Bacterial isolates were obtained between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2007, inclusive, from patients in 12 hospitals across Canada as part of the Canadian Ward Surveillance Study (CANWARD 2007). Isolates were obtained from bacteremic, urinary, respiratory and wound specimens and underwent antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Susceptibility testing was assessed using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute broth microdilution method. RESULTS: In total, 7881 isolates were recovered from clinical specimens of patients attending Canadian hospitals. The 7881 isolates were collected from respiratory (n=2306; 29.3%), blood (n=3631; 46.1%), wounds/tissue (n=617; 7.8%) and urinary (n=1327; 16.8%) specimens. The 10 most common organisms isolated from 76.5% of all clinical specimens wereE coli(21.6%), methicillin-susceptibleS aureus(13.9%),Streptococcus pneumoniae(8.9%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(8.0%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(5.8%), MRSA (4.9%),Haemophilus influenzae(4.3%), coagulase-negative staphylococci/taphylococcus epidermidisS (4.0%),Enterococcus species(3.0%) andEnterobacter cloacae(2.1%). MRSA made up 26.0% (385 of 1480) of allS aureus(genotypically, 79.2% of MRSA were health care-associated MRSA and 19.5% were community-associated MRSA), and VRE made up 1.8% of all enterococci (62.5% of VRE had thevanA genotype). ESBLproducingE colioccurred in 3.4% ofE coliisolates. The CTX-M type was the predominant ESBL, with CTX-M-15 as the predominant genotype. With MRSA, no resistance was observed to daptomycin, linezolid, tigecycline and vancomycin, while resistance rates to other agents were: clarithromycin 91.4%, clindamycin 61.8%, fluoroquinolones 88.6% to 89.6%, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 12.2%. WithE coli, no resistance was observed to ertapenem, meropenem and tigecycline, while resistance rates to other agents were: amikacin 0.1%, cefazolin 14.2%, cefepime 2.0%, ceftriaxone 8.9%, gentamicin 10.6%, fluoroquinolones 23.6% to 24.5%, piperacillin-tazobactam 1.3% and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 26.6%. Resistance rates withP aeruginosawere: amikacin 7.6%, cefepime 11.7%, gentamicin 20.8%, fluoroquinolones 23.4% to 25.1%, meropenem 8.1% and piperacillin- tazobactam 7.3%. A MDR phenotype (resistance to three or more of cefepime, piperacillin-tazobactam, meropenem, amikacin or gentamicin, and ciprofloxacin) occurred frequently inP aeruginosa(10.6%) but uncommonly inE coli(1.2%),K pneumoniae(1.5%),E cloacae(0%) orH influenzae(0%). CONCLUSIONS:E coli,S aureus(methicillin-susceptible and MRSA),S pneumoniae,P aeruginosa,K pneumoniae,H influenzaeandEnterococcusspecies are the most common isolates recovered from clinical specimens in Canadian hospitals. The prevalence of MRSA was 26.0% (of which genotypically, 19.5% was community-associated MRSA), while VRE and ESBL-producingE colioccurred in 1.8% and 3.4% of isolates, respectively. A MDR phenotype is common withP aeruginosain Canadian hospitals.

Abstract:

Sub Tuum praesidium uważane jest za najstarszą modlitwę prośby skierowanej do Najświętszej Maryi Panny. Jej grecki tekst znajduje się odnalezionym w Egipcie na początku XX w. papirusie, który został zakupiony w 1917 r. przez John Rylands Library w Manchester i wydany w 1938 przez Colina Hendersona Robertsa. Dotychczas uważano, że jest to najstarsza zachowana wersja tej modlitwy. W dyskusji nad kwestią jej datacji wielu badaczy wskazywało np. na III wiek (Giamberardini, Starowieyski). Okazuje się jednak, że w świetle najnowszych badań paleograficznych, należy przesunąć ten czas na VI/VII, a nawet VIII/IX wiek (Hans Förster, Theodore de Bruyns, Arne Effenberger). Według Förstera to wiedeński zapis antyfony, pochodzący z VI/VII w. powinien być dziś uważany za najstarszy (ed. Treu i Diethart, 1993). Sub Tuum praesidium włączono w wiekach średnich w ramy oficjum brewiarzowego, co potwierdzają księgi liturgiczne: Antyfonarz z Compiègne (IX w.), Lekcjonarz z Cluny (XI w.), Antyfonarz z Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, Antyfonarz ambrozjański (XII w.). Modlitwa ta znalazła także miejsce w obrzędzie błogosławieństwa obrazu Najświętszej Dziewicy (Pontyfikał Duranda) oraz w liturgii mszalnej w rycie ambrozjańskim (Missale Ambrosianum). Po Soborze Watykańskim II włączono ją w zakończenie komplety (Liturgia Godzin) oraz do Graduale romanum. Antyfona Sub Tuum praesidum miała także wpływ na ukształtowanie się wielkich form muzycznych inspirowanych jej tekstem i gregoriańską melodyką. Do grupy tej należą m.in. dwa cykle mszalne (Obrecht, La Rue), motety (Palestrina, Mielczewski, Pękiel, Charpentier, Zelenka, Mozart, Gounod, Saint-Saëns, Moniuszko) oraz kompozycje współczesne, które powstały w XX w. (Perosi, van Looy, Sawa, Bartolucci) oraz XXI wieku (Villard, Molinari, Ward, Pandolfo, Militello, Majka, Czerniewicz, Łukaszewski, Kramarz).

Abstract:

Background: Calculus disease of the biliary tract continues to be a significant health problem. Pigment stones are more common in Eastern studies. Predisposing factors such as cirrhosis, ileal resection are commonly seen in the West; while infection as a cause predominates in South East Asia. In this study we prospectively studied Pigment gall stones to examine the causes for and the role of bacteria in pigment Gall stone diseaseMethods: A hospital based prospective study was carried out from January 1992 to December 1994 at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad. Institutional Ethics Committee permission was taken. Informed consent was obtained from all selected patients. During the study period a total of 25 consecutive patients with Pigment gall stones were analyzed. Details were recorded in a proforma. Stones were collected from the Gall Bladder with aseptic precautions.Results: Total of 25 patients included, wherein 13 (52%) males and 12 (48%) females. The Median age was 55.5 years and the mean age was 50.2 years. Of 25 patients 11 (44%) had black pigment stones and 14 (56%) had brown stones. 22 (88%) patients presented with biliary colic, and 8 (32%) presented with chronic cholecystitis. At surgery 14 (56%) had a thickened wall suggesting inflammation, 7 (28%) had edema. Bile culture was positive in 11 (44%) patients and stone culture in 5 (20%) patient. Twenty two of 25 patients (88%) had evidence of bacteria on electron microscopy.Conclusions: Whether black stones are associated with higher infection rates or bacteria cause black stones – this question probably would never be answered either on the bench or in the clinicians ward. We, however, can definitely say they are intimately related.

Abstract:

Thanks to Bruno Galantucci, “experimental semiotics” is usually nowadays taken to mean the study of “novel forms of communication which people develop when they cannot use pre-established communication systems”. In spite of Galantucci’s claim to have picked the label because it was free, it has actually been used in different ways at least twice before: by Colin Ware, who takes it to be involved with “the elucidation of symbols that gain their meaning by being structured to take advantage of the human sensory apparatus”, as opposed to conventional meaning-making, and by Kashima and Haslam, who apply it to complex social situations. The label could also conveniently be used to describe the kind of experiment that we have realized at Centre for Cognitive Semiotics, which are classical psychological experiments which have been enriched with a focus on the particular semiotic resources involved, while also applying phenomenological analysis to both the experimental situation and its outcome. These are all reductive uses of the terms “experimental” and “semiotics”. In fact, although Galantucci himself refers to Psammetichus’s famous experiment as being roughly analogous to his understanding of experimental semiotics, there are important differences, the Psammetichus experiment, in spite of its intentions, being more unbiased, if it could really be accomplished. Pursuing the principle that I have called the dialects of phenomenology and experiment, and what Jordan Zlatev has termed the conceptual-empirical loop, I will suggest, in the present paper, that these different experimental approaches can be related to different varieties of semiosis, thus helping us to spell out the full task of the discipline termed cognitive semiotics. This, in turn, will help us determine the full scope of cognitive semiotics, while also highlighting the importance of the semiotic part, that is, the attention to meaning, revealed by phenomenology.
