Spiritual contemplation in Clement of Alexandria’s Stromateis : adaptation of the philosophical category θεωρία
No full textAlthough scholars have often acknowledged the spirituality in the writings of Clement of Alexandria (cir. 150-215 AD), a thorough study of the Platonic category θεωρία as it
appears in this second century Father has never been undertaken. Most studies on
Christian spirituality either ignore Clement's role altogether, or rush past him with little comment in favor of the great Origen (cir. 185-255 AD).
Stromateis, Clement's most enigmatic work, contains over 75 occurrences of θεωρία. A
close examination of these texts reveals that his use of the term is somewhat different from two of his greatest philosophical and spiritual mentors, Plato and Philo. Clement uses this term (usually translated "contemplation") to refer to a spiritual experience which occurs in
space and time, as well as an ethereal one and one which occurs in the mind. A possible
explanation for this difference lies with Clement's claim in the opening chapter of the
work: he is the recipient of an oral tradition which has never been recorded, but which he plans to include in the Stromateis.
This thesis demonstrates: 1) that Clement is the first Christian writer to adapt this
philosophical category into Christian spirituality; 2) the primary purpose of Stromateis is to present the third stage in a spiritual pathway - to reveal θεωρία as the spiritual "meat" for the advanced believer; and 3) to present God and His contact with the Christian as immediate. In a radical move, going against the philosophical setting of the day, Clement
presents this Platonic category as a means for the Christian to experience an immanent
God
"Stephen M. Clement" 202087
No full textIn 1905, the American Ship Building Company in Lorain, Ohio built the vessel, "Stephen M. Clement" for the Buffalo Steamship Company. The vessel underwent a change in ownership. The "Stephen M. Clement" was sold to American Steamship Company, (1922-1965). Additional owners were Kinsman Marine Transit Company, (1965-1967); Sea-Land Service, Incorporated, (1967-1967) and the United States Maritime Commission (1967-1967). The vessel experienced several collisions. On May 4, 1911, as the "Stephen M. Clement", collided and sank the sternwheeler, "Erwin L. Fisher" on the Detroit River. On May 14 1913, "Stephen M. Clement" collided with the sternwheeler, "Fred G. Hartwell" in the ice at Duluth, Minnesota. The "Stephen M. Clement" changed its' name to "John J. Boland" in 1939. On November 2, 1948, the steamer, "John J. Boland" collided in the fog with "Frank Armstrong" on Lake Erie. Additional name changes included; ""Niagara Mohawk", (1953-1965) and "Peavey Pioneer", (1965-1969). The vessel went aground on May 31, 1966 in Ashland, Wisconsin and declared a total loss. It was towed to Fraser Shipyard, Superior, Wisconsin where it was used as "trade-in-tonnage" to United States Maritime Commission for C-4 "General H. G. Freeman". The ship was again sold in 1969 to the Hyman-Michael Company for $35,111. where it was scrapped at the Fraser Yard

The involvement of K+ATP channels in the regulation of pulmonary and systemic vascular tone in the pig
No full textWe evaluated the involvement of K+ATP channels in the regulation of pulmonary and systemic vascular tone in anaesthetised, mechanically ventilated, indomethacin-treated pigs. The animals were divided into three groups of six pigs. To induce opening of K+ATP channels, to the first group we gave cromakalim as a bolus of 80 mu-m/ml, i.v. followed by drop by drop infusion of 1 mu-g/kg/min for 120 min. To the second group, 120 min after the start of cromakalim infusion, we gave glibenclamide, a sulfonylurea compound, at a dose of 10 mg/kg over 5 min, to block K +ATP channels activity. The third group was treated with glibenclamide only at the same dose of group two. Cromakalim decreased systemic arterial pressure, without any significant effect on pulmonary arterial pressure. In group two, when glibenclamide was administered, pulmonary arterial pressure markedly increased, while systemic arterial pressure returned to control value. Glibenclamide given alone not after cromakalim caused both systemic and pulmonary arterial pressure to rise, with the greater effect on the pulmonary system. These results indicate that K+ATP channels are involved in the maintenance of a low pulmonary vascular tone and represent a very effective mechanism of eliciting vasodilatation and reducing a hypertensive state in the systemic vascular bed

Valutazione nel suino dell'effetto indotto dalla SO2 e NO2 sulle proprietà elastiche e resistive del sistema respiratorio
No full text24 Large White pigs of 20±2 (D.S.) kg were used to study the effects of environmental pollutant gases NO2 and SO2 on viscoelastic characteristics of respiratory system. By the partition method it is possible to distinguish the tracheobronchial airways mechanic from the lung mechanic. The considered gases were administered at concentration of 50-100-200-400 ppm for NO2 and 50-100-500-700 ppm for SO2. The NO2 demonstrated to modify negatively the viscoelastic characteristics of the lung inducing a decrease of distensibility. The SO2 at higher concentrations exerts a lower effect than NO2
Effects of PGF2alpha on the EMG of costal and crural parts of the diaphragm of the newborn pigs
No full textWe investigated the effects of PGF2 alpha on the breathing patterns and electric activity of costal and crural parts of the diaphragm in 9 anesthetized newborn pigs. The change in diaphragmatic tension was evaluated as the change in transdiaphragmatic pressure. Because PGF2 alpha induces bronchoconstriction and an increase in respiratory resistances, the changes induced by prostaglandin were evaluated as differences between bronchoconstriction after PGF2 alpha and resistive load obtained by applying gradual occlusion to the inspiratory line of the breathing circuit. Our results show that PGF2 alpha decreased respiratory frequency with lengthening of expiratory time, while the resistive load increased both respiratory phases. The changes in breathing pattern were associated with different electrical activities of the diaphragm. While resistive load did not significantly change the EMG power spectrum, PGF2 alpha recruited new motor units. Furthermore, resistive load induced synchronization of the inspiratory time discharge of the costal and crural parts of the diaphragm, while after PGF2 alpha infusion there was an early inspiratory discharge of the crural part
