Legal Understanding

This chapter explores the archival texts of the Neo-Assyrian Empire and attempts to gauge the legal and economic position of slavery in Assyrian society. It shows that the Assyrians held a similar legal understanding of slavery to the Greeks, and knew also of the phenomenon of debt bondage. The chapter then moves on to consider the location of slavery in Assyrian society, showing widespread and significant levels of slave ownership among the Assyrian elite; however, relatively high slave prices prevented slave ownership from becoming a more widespread phenomenon. The third part of the chapter looks at the Assyrian countryside more broadly, and shows that despite often owning large numbers of slaves, members of the Assyrian elite more probably drew the bulk of their income from the exploitation of bound tenant farmers.

Many evolutionary theorists have enthusiastically embraced human nature, but large numbers of evolutionists have also rejected it. It is also important to recognize the nuanced views on human nature that come from the side of the social sciences. This introduction provides an overview of the current state of the human nature debate, from the anti-essentialist consensus to the possibility of a Gray’s Anatomy of human psychology. Three potential functions for the notion of species nature are identified. The first is diagnostic, assigning an organism to the correct species. The second is species-comparative, allowing us to compare and contrast different species. The third function is contrastive, establishing human nature as a foil for human culture. The Introduction concludes with a brief synopsis of each chapter.

Two white sisters of Italian parentage in whom thalassemia-hemoglobin C disease was found, have been presented. This is the third report of such cases and the first in white individuals. This disease produces a microcytic anemia which is usually mild but which may be severe. Splenomegaly may or may not be present. The presence of large numbers of both microspherocytes and target cells in the blood smear should suggest the possibility of this diagnosis. Confirmatory evidence is found in studies of the blood of family members.

Moraxella canis was isolated in large numbers from an ulcerated supraclavicular lymph node of a terminal patient, who died a few days later. Although the patient presented with septic symptoms and with a heavy growth of gram-negative diplococci in the lymph node, blood cultures remained negative. M. canis is an upper-airway commensal from dogs and cats and is considered nonpathogenic for humans, although this is the third reported human isolate of this species.

Ours is a time of dramatic and confusing transformations in everyday life, many of them originating in the social enfranchisement of women that has occurred over the past twenty-five years. Sociologist Arlie Hochschild demonstrates a widespread phenomenon of work-family imbalance in our society, experienced by people in terms of a time bind, and a devaluation of familial relationships. As large numbers of women have moved into the workplace, familial relations of all sorts have been colonized by what Virginia Held critically refers to as the contractual paradigm. Even the mother/child relationship, representing for Held an alternative feminist paradigm of selfhood and agency, has been in large part "outsourced." I believe that an Arendtian conception of speech and action might enable us to assert anew the grounds for familial relations. If we require a new site upon which to address our human plurality and natality, the postpatriarchal family may provide that new site upon which individuals can freely act to recreate the fabric of human relationships. It would seem to be our moral and political responsibility as social philosophers today to speculatively contribute to the difficult yet imperative task of reconfiguring the family. In this paper, I attempt to articulate the basic assumptions from which such a reconfiguration must begin.

Abstract We have automated a radioimmunoassay for salivary estriol by using the "Southmead" continuous-flow system. The assay, based on a well-validated manual assay, involves a Sepharose-coupled antiserum and an 125I-radioligand. The antibody-bound and free radioligand fractions are separated by on-line filtration. Performance of the automated assay has been reliable during six months of regular use, and compares favorably with that of the manual assay. Drift (0.5 nmol/L per 100 samples) and sample carryover (3%) are acceptable, and the throughput rate is 55 samples per hour. The system is suitable for the assay of the large numbers of samples generated by daily saliva specimen collection in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Rupture Of The Spleen

Abstract 1. Seven cases of ruptured spleen as a complication of infectious mononucleosis are described and reference made to the 3 cases previously recorded in the literature. 2. It proved possible to make an objective histologic diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis from well prepared sections of the spleens. The diagnosis was based on: (a) a blurred architectural pattern due chiefly to large numbers of atypical lymphocytes diffused throughout the pulp and clumped in the blood sinuses; (b) small, poorly defined follicles, usually without germinal centers, in less than usual numbers per unit area; (c) cellular "infiltrates," composed largely of normal and atypical lymphocytes, in the capsule and trabeculae, in the adventitia of small intratrabecular arteries, and in the subintimal zone of collecting venous sinuses and intratrabecular veins; (d) swelling of the lining or attached cells of the blood sinuses. 3. "Infiltration" of the capsule and trabeculae reached considerable proportions, occasionally to the point of complete dissolution of these structures, and served as a predisposing cause of rupture. The same changes were noted in intact spleens from fatal cases of infectious mononucleosis. 4. The spleen in infectious mononucleosis was 3 to 4 times normal size and ruptured during the third or fourth week of the disease. 5. The importance of trivial injury as the exciting cause of so-called "spontaneous" rupture of the spleen has been emphasized. It is recommended that extreme caution be employed during attempted palpation of the spleen in a suspected case of the disease. When the diagnosis is obvious, splenic palpation may well be omitted.

Before And After

Counts were made before and after fixation of the numbers of fertilised and unfertilised ova recovered from 3 mated sows, 7 unmated sows and from 34 sows inseminated at varying times before and after the onset of heat.The percentages of fertilised ova for sows inseminated the day before heat (day — 1) on the first day of heat (day 0) the second day of heat (day 1) and the third day of heat (day 2) are respectively for unfixed and fixed ova: 7·1 and 9·8, day – 1 ; 55·9 and 68·8, day 0; 63·4 and 98·2, day 1; 20·1 and 15·2, day 2. No fertilised ova were recorded from unmated sows; the percentages for mated sows were 94·3 and 95·5.It is concluded that failure of fertilisation is likely to be the greatest source of loss of fertility in inseminations made before heat and late in heat.Most ova from sows inseminated on day — 1 and from sows inseminated in day 2 had no spermatozoa on the zona pellucida. A few ova from sows inseminated on day 2 had very large numbers of spermatozoa present.It is suggested that failure of the spermatozoa to reach the site of fertilisation rather than their loss of fertilising capacity is likely to be the cause of the low fertility of early inseminations.

This study analyzes the mutually empowering relations between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his followers, and how Erdoğan’s charismatic leadership and image functioned to galvanize his followers on the night of July 15, 2016, when large numbers of them mobilized against the attempted coup. The article has three sections. The first is a theoretical discussion which sheds light on the concept and the underlying mechanisms of political empowerment and its effects on the relationships between leaders and followers in order to understand how the two influence each other, especially in times of political crisis. The second section evaluates Erdoğan’s characteristics and ruling style, which was instrumental in motivating resistance to the abortive coup, in order to establish the relevance of the empowerment thesis to the specific case of Turkey. Finally, the third section analyzes the various means by which Erdoğan was able to inspire the masses to mobilize against the armed junta through interviews and observations.

Widespread Phenomenon

Loneliness is a painful and alienating experience, which is an increasingly widespread phenomenon all over the globe. However, this phenomenon is perceived and interpreted differently in the world. The present study aims to compare the emotional, social, and romantic loneliness between Bulgarians and Russians. The two Slavic countries are historically and culturally close, but at the same time, there are many differences. Some studies have found that in the minds of both Russian and Bulgarian young people, loneliness is associated with both negative and positive aspects. This creates a common ground for the analysis and interpretation of this phenomenon in both countries. But the Russian people are more characterized by a positive-resource view of loneliness, while Bulgarian young people emphasize the negative. The study involved 608 people from Bulgaria and Russia aged 18-73 years. They completed the short version of the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults by Di Tommaso E., Brannen C., Best L.A. (2004). The results indicated that „romantic loneliness“was108 the most pronounced and present with its frequency in the content of the overall experience of loneliness. This outlines deficits, expectations, and emotions that are realized / function / in the deeply personal world of the person, of the studied groups of adults both in Bulgaria and in Russia. In second place in terms of its representation is the "social loneliness", which ​​stands out among the studied adults from Bulgaria according to its marginal values. In the third place as third structural-content component is the "emotional loneliness", which is especially present in the experiences of the respondents from Bulgaria in comparison with those from Russia. Statistically significant results on the factors "country", “age” and "marital status" are also discussed.

Short Period

It is unusual, if not unique, for three major research papers concerned with the management of the fractured neck of femur (FNOF) to be published in a short period of time, each describing large prospective randomized clinical trials. These studies were conducted in up to 17 countries worldwide, involving up to 80 surgical centers and include large numbers of patients (up to 2,900) with FNOF. Each article investigated common clinical dilemmas; the first paper comparing total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for FNOF, the second as to whether ‘fast track’ care offers improved clinical outcomes and the third, compares sliding hip with multiple cancellous hip screws. Each paper has been deemed of sufficient quality and importance to warrant publication in The Lancet or the New England Journal of Medicine. Although ‘premier’ journals, they only occationally contain orthopaedic studies and thus may not be routinely read by the busy orthopaedic/surgical clinician of any grade. It is therefore our intention with this present article to accurately summarize and combine the results of all three papers, presenting, in our opinion, the most important clinically relevant facts.
