BIOGRAPHY OF SURGEON B. I. FUKS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SOVIET ERA HISTORY
No full textThe authors of this article aimed at reconstructing the biography of B. I. Fuks in the context of the history of the Soviet era and its most important events. Boris Ilyich (Ber Eljich) Fuks (1897–1973) was a Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, a surgeon, the founder of Novokuznetsk Surgical School. His scientific and pedagogical activity was primarily connected with the Tomsk State University and the State Institute for Advanced Training of Doctors, consistently located in Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Stalinsk (Novokuznetsk). The research is based on the documents found in the State Archives of the Russian Federation, the State Archives of Tomsk Region, the State Archives of Kemerovo Region, the State Archives of Kemerovo Region in Novokuznetsk, and the Archives of Novokuznetsk State Institute for Advanced Training of Doctors, and some publications in the central and local periodicals. The documents from the personal archive and memoirs of B. B. Fuks, the son of B. I. Fuks (Boston, USA), made up a separate important set of sources.</jats:p
A note in the land register which marks a prohibition on account of illegal construction
No full textZemljiškoknjižno pravo, ki je pomemben del nepremičninskega prava, je sistem norm, ki med drugim ureja tudi zemljiško knjigo. Ta je javna knjiga, v katero se vpisujejo in javno objavljajo pravna dejstva v zvezi z nepremičninami in podatki o pravicah na nepremičninah. Ločimo glavne in pomožne vpise v zemljiško knjigo. Zaznamba prepovedi zaradi nedovoljene gradnje je vrsta glavnega vpisa, s katero se v zemljiško knjigo vpiše pravno dejstvo, ki je pomembno za pravni promet z nepremičnino. Do njenega vpisa pride po tem, ko pristojni gradbeni inšpektor izda odločbo, ki vsebuje tudi inšpekcijski ukrep v povezavi z nedovoljenim objektom. Torej gre za nelegalen, neskladen ali nevaren objekt. Inšpekcijski ukrep in posebne prepovedi iz 93. člena Gradbenega zakona se, kot že omenjeno, zaznamujejo na podlagi odločbe inšpekcijskega organa v javno korist. S tem pride tudi do ustanovitve pravice do prepovedi razpolaganja. Obravnavana zaznamba predstavlja oviro za tiste vpise v zemljiško knjigo, ki temeljijo na razpolagalnem pravnem poslu lastnika o ustanovitvi izvedene stvarne pravice ali o prenosu lastninske pravice, ne predstavlja pa ovire za tiste vpise, katerih temelj ne predstavlja razpolagalni pravni posel lastnika. Ob tem se postavi vprašanje učinka te zaznambe v primeru prisilne prodaje nedovoljenega objekta v stečajnem postopku. Ker pri prisilni prodaji nedovoljenega objekta v postopku stečaja lastnik takšnega objekta nima namena razpolagati z zadevno nepremičnino, posledično ne gre za pravni promet in tudi zaznamba prepovedi zaradi nedovoljene gradnje ne predstavlja ovire za samo prisilno prodajo in kasneje vpisa lastninske pravice v zemljiško knjigo v korist novega pridobitelja.Land-registry law, which represents an important segment of real estate law, is a system of norms which, among other things, also governs the land register. The land register is a public register where legal facts concerning immovable property as well as the real estate property rights shall be entered and made publicly available. There are two types of entries in the land register, namely the principal and secondary land register entries. A note in the land register which marks a prohibition on account of illegal construction serves as the principal land register entry, and by means of this note a legal fact, which is important for real-estate legal transactions, is entered in the land register. A note marking such prohibition is entered in the land register after the relevant building inspector issues a decision containing an inspection measure related to an illegal construction. Besides being illegal, such construction is also disproportionate and dangerous. As already mentioned, the inspection measure and special prohibitions, which are specified in Article 93 of the Slovenian Building Act, are determined on the basis of a decision by the inspection authority for the public benefit. This also leads to the establishment of the right to prohibition of free disposal. The previously mentioned note in the land register represents an obstacle for those entries in the land register that are based on the owner’s free-disposition legal transaction which is related either to the establishment of the accomplished real right or to the transfer of ownership, however, such note does not act as an obstacle for those entries whose basis does not represent free-disposition legal transaction of an owner. This raises the question of the effect that such note may have in case an of a forced sale of an illegal construction in a bankruptcy proceeding. In case of a forced sale of an illegal construction in a bankruptcy proceeding, the owner of the respective illegal construction has no intention of having the immovable property under consideration at his disposal, therefore this is not about a legal transaction, and besides, the note in the land register marking a prohibition on account of an illegal construction also does not represent an obstacle neither for the forced sale itself nor for the subsequent entry of the ownership in the land register to the benefit of the new acquirer
Land registry notices
No full textZemljiškoknjižno pravo predstavlja enega pomembnejših delov nepremičninskega prava, kjer Zakon o zemljiški knjigi (ZZK-1) in Stvarnopravni zakonik (SPZ) igrata najvidnejšo vlogo. Temeljna načela, kot so načelo javnosti in zaupanja, načelo pravnega prednika in načelo vrstnega reda, služijo za lažjo in pravilno interpretacijo posameznih določil zakona. Zemljiška knjiga, ki jo vodijo okrajna sodišča, je pravna, javna evidenca, kar pomeni, da se vanjo vpisujejo pravice in pravna dejstva v zvezi z nepremičninami ter da so ti vpisani podatki vsakomur dostopni. Glavni vpisi v zemljiško knjigo so vknjižba, predznamba in zaznamba, poočitev in plomba pa predstavljata pomožne vpise. Informatizacija, ki se je v popolnosti uveljavila z novelo ZZK-1C, je uvedla elektronsko vlaganje zemljiškoknjižnih predlogov, spremembe pri določenih zaznambah, kjer je nekatere odpravila, odpravila pa je tudi zemljiškoknjižne vložke. Glavno temo tega zaključnega dela predstavljajo zemljiškoknjižne zaznambe, ki so vrsta glavnega vpisa v zemljiško knjigo. Namenjene so vpisu pravnih dejstev, ki so pomembna za promet z nepremičninami in se nanašajo na imetnika pravice, vpisane v zemljiško knjigo. ZZK-1 pozna dve vrsti zaznamb, to so deklaratorne zaznambe, kjer ima vpisano dejstvo pravne učinke ne glede na zaznambo, zaradi njenega publicitetnega učinka pa se nihče ne more sklicevati, da mu vpisano pravno dejstvo ni bilo znano, in konstitutivne zaznambe, s katerimi nastanejo določeni pravni učinki in so določene z ZZK-1 ali drugimi pravnimi predpisi.One of the most important subcategories of property law is the law regulating land registration, whereas the most prominent instruments are the Land Register Act (ZZK-1) and the Law of Property Code (SPZ). The fundamental principles, such as the principle of publicity, trust in law, legal ancestry and the principle of order, serve as a mechanism in order to interpret the provisions of the act more easily and accurately. The local court keeps the land register, which are public and legal records containing the rights and legal facts in relation to property law. The main registrations in the land registry are the entry, the preliminary notice and the notice, while the rectification and seal act as supporting entries. The computerisation, which was fully deployed following the ZZK-1C Act Amendment, introduced electronic land register entries and made changes to or eliminated some notices and entries. The main topic of the thesis is dedicated to land register notices, which are a type of main entry in the land register. These notices are intended for entering legal facts, which play an important role in the transfer of immovable property relating to the holder of the right recorded in the land register. The ZZK-1 sets out two types of noticesfirst, declaratory notices wherein the recorded legal facts take legal effect regardless of the notice and because of its public nature no one may plead that he or she was not familiar with the recorded legal factsecond, constituent notices, which form legal effects laid down in the ZZK-1 and other legislation

Skin damage by tropospheric ozone [Hautschäden durch troposphärisches Ozon]
No full textTropospheric (ground level) ozone (O 3 ) is a secondary pollutant, emerging from other pollutants in the sunshine. Exposure to O 3 correlates with higher pulmonary and cardiovascular mortality and affects reproductive health and the central nervous system acutely and chronically. Skin might be a potentially overlooked target organ of ambient O 3 . The experimental evidence suggests a positive correlation of O 3 exposure with oxidative damage, impaired antioxidant defence and proinflammatory response in the skin. In time series studies it was observed that acute rises in O 3 levels correlated with seeking medical help for skin conditions; however, whether these findings are specific to O 3 , is not yet clear. There is preliminary epidemiological evidence that long-term exposure to O 3 is associated with premature skin aging. This finding was independent of co-exposure to other environmental factors affecting skin (e.g. ultraviolet radiation and air pollution). As concentrations of O 3 are rising in many regions of the world, adverse cutaneous effects of O 3 present a relevant public health concern
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Timing of Perioperative Chemotherapy Does Not Influence Long-Term Outcome of Patients Undergoing Combined Laparoscopic Colorectal and Liver Resection in Selected Upfront Resectable Synchronous Liver Metastases
No full textBackground: The aim of this study was to compare patients undergoing combined colorectal and hepatic surgery with and without neoadjuvant chemotherapy to clarify the prognostic advantage of preoperative oncological treatment in a case-matched analysis using propensity scores and to identify factors predictive of good prognosis in a selected population of Synchronous ColoRectal Liver Metastases (SCRLM). Methods: A total of 73 patients who underwent upfront elective combined surgery without preoperative CT for SCRLM in two European tertiary referral centers were selected and constituted the study group (NoNACT group). The NoNACT group was matched (ratio 1:1) with patients who were operated after chemotherapy with neoadjuvant intent (NACT group, the control group). The matching was achieved based on six covariates representative of patients and disease characteristics. Results: While the characteristics of both colorectal and hepatic procedures were similar, the NoNACT group, as compared to the NACT group, had lower blood loss (200 mL vs. 550 mL). Postoperative stay (9 vs. 12 days) and morbidity rate (24.7% vs. 32.9%) were reduced in the NoNACT compared with the NACT group. Mid- and long-term outcomes were comparable. At multivariable analysis, predictors of long-term outcome were: right colonic neoplasms, RAS mutational status, CRS score ≥3 and the absence of perioperative chemotherapy. Conclusion: Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous resectable liver metastases does not influence the risk of recurrence in patients with favorable tumor biology, while it was associated with increased intraoperative blood loss and morbidity. There is no strong evidence to recommend upfront chemotherapy in the absence of negative prognostic factors
Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
