The Indian record needs to be checked, probably, they belong to M. vietnamensis Silva-Briano, Dieu & Dumont, 1999. Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003) listed Macrothrix laticornis (Fischer) in their checklist, but the author was represented in the wrong way. Distribution. M. laticornis s.str. is "reliably known from most of Europe, and extending east across most of temperate Asia, with outlying populations occurring as far as Central Nepal " (Silva-Briano et al. 1999).

No full text(60) Grimaldina brazzai Richard, 1892 Indian records. Assam —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2008a, b); Madhya Pradesh — Rane (1984c); Rajasthan — Venkataraman (1990b); Tamil Nadu — Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2002, 2009); West Bengal — Venkataraman & Das (1993), Venkataraman (1998c), Venkataraman et al. (2000); General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984); Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Valid taxon described from Gabon, West Africa (Richard 1892). It probably consists of a series of cryptic species (H. J. Dumont, pers. comm.). Venkataraman (1998) recorded this species from West Bengal and claim that it is the first report from India, later Venkataraman & Das (1993) again said they had found the first record, although Rane (1984c) already found this taxon before. Distribution. At the time, regarded as circumtropical (Smirnov 1992; Kotov & Ferrari 2010). Guernella ceylonica Daday, 1898 Indian records. General record— Brehm (1953), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Described from Sri Lanka (Daday 1898). Junior synonym of G. raphaelis Richard, 1892 (Smirnov 1976, 1992), also listed as such in Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988). However, G. raphaelis is described from West Africa, and ceylonica is an available name for Oriental populations if these would indeed prove to belong to a separate species. Guernella odiosa (Gurney, 1916) Indian records. General record— Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Raghunathan and Kumar (2003) listed this combination as apparent mistake. In reality, this combination was never proposed by any other author in cladoceran taxonomy. Sometimes Macrothrix odiosa was placed to the genus Gurneyella Brehm, 1930 (see Biswas 1971), not Guernella Richard, 1892. If Guernella is a valid taxon, which is indeed very different from Macrothrix (Smirnov 1976, 1992), Gurneyella is an apparent junior synonym of Macrothrix (Kotov et al. 2005). See Macrothrix odiosa for further comments.Published as part of CHATTERJEE, TAPAS, KOTOV, ALEXEY A., DAMME, KAY VAN, CHANDRASEKHAR, S. V.

Wittgenstein and the meaning of life
No full textV magistrski nalogi predstavim filozofijo Ludwiga Wittgensteina v delu Logično-filozofski traktat in jo primerjam z razvojem odgovorov, ki jih na t. i. življenjska vprašanja Wittgenstein ponuja v kasnejših delih, kot so Filozofske raziskave. Posvetim se pregledu raznolikega nabora interpretacij, s katerim sekundarna literatura pojasnjuje avtorjeve ideje, in predlagam mero previdnosti do tega, kako se tem idejam približevati. V nalogi se zgledujem po podvigu Raya Monka, ki v svoji obsežni biografski raziskavi avtorja poudarja »soodvisnosti« med njegovim delom in življenjem. To je še posebej pomembno, ker je želel Wittgenstein vsaj del svoje filozofije nakazati s smiselnim molkom, tako da jo moramo nenehno dopolnjevati z namigi iz dnevnikov, predavanj, pisem ter pričevanj kolegov. Naloga ponudi razlago, kaj je Wittgensteinov odgovor na vprašanje po smislu življenja, kakšna je geneza tega odgovora ter kasnejši razvoj, ko avtor v neki meri zavrne ideje svoje rane filozofije. Ta odgovor osvetljujem na ozadju temeljnih idej Wittgensteinove filozofije, od slikovne teorije ter misticizma do oblik življenja, družinskih podobnosti in teorije empatije.In this thesis, I present the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein in his work Tractatus LogicoPhilosophicus and compare it with the development of responses he offers to existential questions in his later works, such as Philosophical Investigations. I focus on reviewing the diverse range of interpretations that secondary literature uses to explain the author\u27s ideas and suggest a degree of caution in approaching these ideas. The thesis is inspired by Ray Monk\u27s endeavor, who, in his extensive biographical study of the author, emphasizes the "seeing of connections" between his work and life. This is particularly important because Wittgenstein intended to express at least part of his philosophy through meaningful silence, requiring us to constantly supplement it with hints from his diaries, lectures, letters, and testimonies from colleagues. The thesis offers an explanation of Wittgenstein\u27s answer to the question of the meaning of life, the genesis of this answer, and its later development when the author, to some extent, rejects the ideas of his early philosophy. I shed light on this answer against the background of the fundamental ideas of Wittgenstein\u27s philosophy, from the picture theory and mysticism to forms of life, family resemblances, and his theory of empathy
480 The Quality of Reporting Inflammatory Bowel Disease Randomized Control Trials: A Systematic Review
No full textAim Our objective was to perform a systemic evaluation of the risk of bias of randomized control trials’ (RCTs) reports published on IBD. Method We assessed the risk-of-bias using the Cochrane tool, as indicators for poor methodology or subsequently poor reporting. We focused on assessing the risk-of -bias pertaining to appropriate sequence generation, allocation concealment, blinding, incomplete outcome data reporting and other bias. We systematically selected, with dual independent judgements, all studies published on IBD with no time limits and assessed the methodological quality of included studies again using independent dual ratings, with disagreement solved through a third author. Results 563 full texts were included after selection and review. When excluding blinding, 103 papers exhibited low risk of bias in all reporting domains, none of which were publications. RCTs published in journals with higher IF were associated with an overall reduced rate of being at high risks. However, only 6% of full RCT publications in journals with IF greater than 10, published in the past 5 years, were free of bias. The trend over time is towards improved reporting in all areas. Trials published by larger author teams, in full-text form and by industry and public sponsorship were positively correlated with lower risk of bias. Only allocation concealment showed a statistically significant improvement with time (p = 0.037). Conclusions These findings are consistent with those of other specialties in the literature. Whilst this may represent poor reporting instead of poor quality, it leaves readers and future secondary researchers with significant questions regarding such key issues
A recent bottleneck of Y chromosome diversity coincides with a global change in culture
Get PDFabstract: It is commonly thought that human genetic diversity in non-African populations was shaped primarily by an out-of-Africa dispersal 50–100 thousand yr ago (kya). Here, we present a study of 456 geographically diverse high-coverage Y chromosome sequences, including 299 newly reported samples. Applying ancient DNA calibration, we date the Y-chromosomal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) in Africa at 254 (95% CI 192–307) kya and detect a cluster of major non-African founder haplogroups in a narrow time interval at 47–52 kya, consistent with a rapid initial colonization model of Eurasia and Oceania after the out-of-Africa bottleneck. In contrast to demographic reconstructions based on mtDNA, we infer a second strong bottleneck in Y-chromosome lineages dating to the last 10 ky. We hypothesize that this bottleneck is caused by cultural changes affecting variance of reproductive success among males

Introduction by Dr Christina Faull; edited interview with Professor Patrick Wall.Annotated and edited transcript of a Witness Seminar held on 12 December 2002. Introduction by Dr Christina Faull; edited interview with Professor Patrick Wall.Unrelieved pain caused by cancer is experienced by more than 5 million people worldwide, and over the past 50 years has been accepted as unnecessary by both clinicians and politicians. Major innovations in the understanding of pain and our ability to treat it have been made. This Witness Seminar, chaired by Professor David Clark, describes the development of pain clinics, the introduction of the hospice in Britain, and global implementation of innovative technologies for cancer pain relief and advances in research during the latter part of the twentieth century. International health planners argue that the outstanding challenge is to put this knowledge into practice in healthcare settings around the world, often where resources are limited.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BALNEOREHABILITATION FOR HEALTH TOURISM
Get PDFSvjetska zdravstvena organizacija je opredijelila rehabilitaciju kao aktivan proces
namijenjen osposobljavanju ljudi sa smanjenim mogućnostima i ograničenjima u
sudjelovanju. Rehabilitacija je kompleksan interdisciplinarni proces u kojem osobe
s različitim stanjima, poslije ozljeda ili bolesti postižu najveći mogući stupanj samostalnog
funkcioniranja unutar uže i šire društvene okoline. Rehabilitacija se dijeli na
ranu, daljnju, kasnu i obnavljajuću, a obzirom na organizaciju zdravstvenog sistema
moguće ju je izvoditi na primarnoj, sekundarnoj i tercijarnoj razini. Lječilišno liječenje
u Republici Sloveniji je uređeno Zakonom (»Zakon o zdravstvenem varstvu in zdravstvenem
zavarovanju«) i Pravilima (»Pravila obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja«).
Osigurano je u primjeru da omogućuje ispunjavanje barem jednog od nabrojanih uvjeta:
značajno poboljšanje zdravstvenog stanja, povratak funkcionalnih i radnih sposobnosti,
sprječavanje napredovanja bolesti ili pogoršanja zdravstvenog stanja za duže
vrijeme, smanjenje učestalosti bolovanja (odsutnosti s posla) ili bolničkog liječenja.
Liječilišno liječenje koje nije neposredan nastavak bolničkog liječenja moguće je obaviti
stacionarno ili ambulantno.
Balneorehabilitacija s hidroterapijom jedna je od najčešćih vrsta liječenja bolesnika
s kroničnom nezloćudnom boli. Plivanje udružuje kineziološke i balneološke učinke
(dinamičko gibanje – plivanje i specifične učinke ljekovite vode). Dinamički učinak
plivanja je sa balneološkog vidika važan zbog kinezioterapijskih i kinezioprofilaktičnih
učinaka.
Slovenija obiluje bogatim nalazištima termalnih i termomineralnih voda. Naše najstarije
organizirano lječilište u Rogaškoj Slatini seže u 1665. godinu kad su slatinsku
vodu proglasili ljekovitom, mada arheološka istraživanja dokazuju korištenje ljekovite
vode još u rimskim vremenima. Prvi zakon o ustanavljanju rehabilitacijskih centara u
Sloveniji datira iz 1968. godine kad su se ustanovile i lječilišne ustanove sa rehabilitacijskim
posteljama i kad su opredijelili prve standarde kvalitete u pojedinim lječilištima.
Danas je rehabilitacija nadišla okvire, odnosno zidove zdravstvenih ustanova i
prerasla u dobrodošlog doživotnog suputnika zdravstveno osvješćenog i odgovornog
pojedinca. Lječilišne općine su 2014. godine sudjelovale razmjerno visokim udjelom
turističkih noćenja u državi – 31,9%. Suvremena balneorehabilitacija poseže na
područje lječilišnog turizma koje predstavlja najuspješniji segment slovenske turističke
ponude. Izvanredne prirodne danosti s lječililišnim čimbenicima predstavljaju slovenskim
lječilištima važnu prednost na osnovu koje su razvila specifičnu ponudu s
kvalitetnim, bogatim i tržno zanimljivim turističkim proizvodom kojim se natječu na
širem europskom tržištu.
U članku smo ispostavili samo pojedine standardne pristupe i nabrojali suvremene
dijagnostičke i terapijske metode unutra cjelovite balneorehabilitacije. Uvjeti za normalnu pokretljivost su normalan opseg pokretljivosti zglobova, mišićna moč, ustrajnost
i usklađenost pokreta. U primjeru smetnji pokretljivosti poštujemo sljedeći red u
sastavljanju terapijskih vježbi, isprva povećamo opseg pokreta, na to uključimo vježbe
mišićne moći i ustrajnosti, kinezioterapijski program nadograđujemo vježbama koordinacije
i brzine izvođenja pokreta odnosno tjelesne aktivnosti. Tjelesne vježbe imaju
dokazane brojne pozitivne učinke na kosti, kralježnične pločice, zglobnu hrskavicu i
mišiće. Tjelesna aktivnost poboljšava i raspoloženje, povoljno utječe na depresiju, samoocjenjivanje
i ponašanje na radnome mjestu, što je posljedica povećane aktivnosti
adrenalina i lučenja neurotransmitora (serotonina, noradrenalina i dopamina). Hidroterapija,
posebice u sklopu balneoterapije, korisno utječe na stanje zglobova zbog izvođenja
vježbi u vodi koja u razdoblju rane rehabilitacije omogućuje izvođenje vježbi
u rasterećenju (suspenziji), a u naprednijem stadiju i vježbi jačanja mišićne moći, poboljšava
koordinaciju, podstiče disanje, krvni optok i metabolizam te ima pozitivan
psihički učinak. Smanjenje boli u vodi je moguća posljedica učinkovanja hidrostatskog
pritiska na tijelo i učinka topline na živčane okrajke kao i poradi mišićne relaksacije. Toplo
ljekovito blato podiže razinu beta-endorfina u plazmi čime se obrazlaže analgetički
i antispastički učinak balneoterapije. Brojne bolesti, u koje ubrajamo i sindrom bolnih
križa, su psihosomatskog izvora. Na ovu skupinu bolesti snažno utiče psihički i socijalni
status pojedinca kao i kvaliteta života. Uspjeh hidroterapije u prirodnim lječilištima
je najvjerovatnije rezultat kombiniranog djelovanja nekih specifičnih zdravstvenih čimbenika
i nespecifičnih čimbenika kao što su promjena okoline, rasterećenje i mogućnost
razonode, što je u skoro idealnom obliku omogućeno u lječilištima i njihovoj neposrednoj
okolini.
Fizikalna i rehabilitacijska medicina predstavlja neizostavni dio lječilišne ponude
za sve upućune odlukom nacionalnog zdravstvenog fonda kao i bolesnika koji sami
plaćaju lječilišno liječenje i rehabilitaciju te sve one koji u okviru lječilišnog turizma žele
spojiti ugodno sa zdravstveno korisnim. Ta medicinska struka je najdjelotvornija ukoliko
se poštuju indikacije i kontraindikacije za (balneo)rehabilitaciju i izvodi interdisciplinarnim
pristupom timova koje vode specijalisti fizikalne i rehabilitacijske medicine.Prispevek obravnava vlogo fizikalne in rehabilitacijske medicine pri obravnavi bolnikov

Plautus' 'Mercator': a commentary
No full textThis thesis comprises an introduction, a lemmatic commentary, and indices. The introductory
chapter, apart from a brief discussion of a more general nature, investigates the play and the
relation it bears to Philemon's Emporos, its lost Greek model, especially with regard to the actdivisions
of the Greek play and the pacing of the action in Plautus' adaptation. The commentary is
provided to address problems posed by the Latin text, notably those of exegesis, textual criticism,
metre, grammar, humour, imagery, staging, and the relationship to the Graeco-Roman comic
tradition. An attempt is also made to distinguish between elements which may reflect the Greek
comic tradition and those which suggest Plautine origin. In recent work about Plautus and
Philemon it has been argued that the plot of the Emporos underwent far-reaching changes at the
hands of Plautus, but the author of this thesis argues for the essential unity of the Mercator and
for Plautus' conservative treatment of the plot of the Greek original, at the same time allowing for
the fact that Plautus may have Romanised, exaggerated, and extended Philemon's play at certain
points. By its structure, metrical arrangement, pacing, juxtaposition of contrasting types, parallel
arrangement of core scenes, and the recurrence of key imagery, themes and motifs, the Mercator
proves to be a carefully conceived, effectively balanced, and well-composed play
