Laparoscopy In The Diagnosis Of Acute Surgical Diseases Of The Abdominal Organs
No full textThe article presents an analysis of the results of using diagnostic laparoscopy in 47 patients with suspected acute surgical pathology of the abdominal organs from 2020 to 2025. The author emphasizes the high informative value of the method, which allows for diagnostic verification and determination of treatment tactics with minimal trauma. Particular attention is paid to the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, including the use of the Krieger technique to identify catarrhal forms. The study proves that the implementation of laparoscopy significantly reduces the number of "unjustified" appendectomies and avoids diagnostic errors, the frequency of which reaches 30% with the traditional approac
Clinical Efficacy Of Diagnostic Laparoscopy In Abdominal Trauma
No full textThe article examines the clinical efficacy of diagnostic laparoscopy in abdominal trauma. Based on the analysis of 129 patients treated at the clinic of Tashkent State Medical University from 2023 to 2025, it was demonstrated that laparoscopy is the most informative minimally invasive method in cases of unclear clinical presentation. The authors developed and substantiated specific indications for this procedure, including the dynamics of pain syndrome, the presence of free fluid detected by ultrasound, and changes in hemodynamic parameters. The use of this technique allows timely identification of internal organ injuries and significantly reduces the number of unnecessary exploratory laparotomies
Relations between Land Tenure Security, Farmland Use and Agricultural Productivity: A Spatio-Temporal Comparative Assessment of Farmland Tenure Arrangements and Agriculture Strategizing in Rwanda (2006-2017)
No full textThis PhD study aims to assess the relations between land tenure security, farmland use and agricultural productivity. Using a locally-defined research approach, the study explores those relations from a review of the literature to a case study in Rwanda. Therefore, the case study includes four research sites: Gatwe, Nyabubare, Rusebeya and Rutemba, and it follows three research periods within the period 2006-2017. First, considering land registration as the initial activity that guarantees legal tenure of land, this study carried a review of the scholarly literature on the effect of land registration on these relations. 85 studies were included. The review focused on the regular claim that land registration’s facilitation of formal documents-based land dealings leads to investment in a more productive agriculture. I found this claim problematic for three reasons. First, most studies offer no empirical evidence to support this claim. Second, there are suggestions that land registration can actually threaten ‘de facto’ tenure security or even lead to insecurity of tenure. Third, the gendered realization of land registration and security may lead to uneven distribution of costs and benefits. These effects are however often ignored. Next to suggesting the importance of land information updating and the efficiency of local land management institutions, this review also found that more research with a combined locally-set approach is needed to better understand any relation(s) between land tenure security and agricultural productivity.In the second part, this study attempted the first and the last problems listed here above by the literature review. I have designed a locally- defined Farmland Tenure Security Index (FLTSI) and applied it to the four case studies in Rwanda. On the basis of a data set collected from four research sites over the course of three agricultural years (2006/2007, 2012/2013, 2016/2017), this study empirically assessed the relations between land tenure security and smallholder farms’ crop production in Rwanda. We show that the general assumption that secure land tenure improves farm level harvests, is not found for smallholder farms in Rwanda. My FLTSI is based on plausible threats as conveyed by smallholder farmers at each research site. The findings additionally indicate that the harvest of main crops did neither statistically correlate with this index, nor show differences from the mean at all research sites. Instead, factors mainly related to the ongoing crop intensification program, though threatening tenure security, contributed to the increase of small farm harvests. Lower land tenure security did not affect farmers satisfaction of the crop intensification program Most of them claimed that in the end what matters most is that their harvests continue to increase. The second part concluded that in Rwanda, a new wave of agriculture strategizing contributed to increasing small farms’ harvest of prioritized crops and decreasing farmland tenure security simultaneously.Third, motivated by the previous conclusion in part two, this study assessed the effect of farmland use change on agriculture production. It sought to determine which of the fragmented or consolidated farmland use earn higher yields for the smallholder farmer in Rwanda. When the agricultural reform started in 2007, the country introduced the Crop Intensification Program (CIP) which promotes farmland Use Consolidation (LUC). Using data collected at the four research sites and considering the three agriculture years, the study confirmed that the CIP/LUC program led to conversion of perennial crops, mainly banana plantations, into seasonal crops prioritized by the program. Overall, this shift in farmland use has created an increase in both harvest and monetary yield of prioritized crops. However, within that general trend, I observed differences: farmers with smaller and/or less farm plots did not realize as much yield increase as those who joined the CIP/LUC program with larger and/or multiple farm plots.Furthermore, this study made a first attempt to understand the implication of the studied relations on food security. The link between yield and meals per day allowed to demonstrate the farmer’s household food access. However, the available data did not allow to extend the analysis to include the nutritious values of the food. Nevertheless, I clearly showed that following the start of the CIP/LUC program, farmers increased their yield and number of meals per day. Future research is need to study the types of food available on the market.The locally-defined research approach designed for this study combined statistical and qualitative analysis of the information collected from interviews and focus group discussions at a local level. I argue that this approach has contributed to an understanding of those relations that would be overlooked if the research used larger entity setting and econometric methods. This research recommends that a similar approach be applied while studying locally-defined assessment of the relations between land tenure security, farmland use and agricultural productivity. Future research needs to be concentrated on examining these relations from a more operational perspective, taking into account local social-economic and institutional patterns at work. There is a need for a mixed methods approach utilizing experiments as well as randomization, where feasible, in combination with increasing flows of spatial and time-series data from diverse sources. Household-farm panel data collected over long periods of time, combined with simulations, can also provide valuable insights about the relations between land tenure security, farmland use and agricultural productivity.Water Resource

Digitale Editionsformen. Zum Umgang mit der Überlieferung unter den Bedingungen des Medienwandels. Teil 1: Das typografische Erbe.[Preprint-Fassung]
No full textDigitale Editionsformen müssen auf dem Methodenstand der gedruckten Editionen aufbauen. Hier sind der Lachmannsche Ansatz der Textrekonstruktion und die Verfahren der historisch-kritischen Ausgabe im Laufe der Zeit zwar dominant geworden, aber nicht alternativlos geblieben. Die Kritik an diesen Methoden ist so alt wie diese selbst, und viele andere Schulen haben sich neben ihnen etabliert. Die verschiedenen Ansätze lassen sich als Produkt ihrer Zeit und als Funktion bestimmter theoretischer Grundbegriffe und Grundannahmen beschreiben. Vor allem aber sind sie nicht nur historisch und theoretisch, sondern immer auch "technisch relativ", weil Typografie und Druckkultur unsere Theorien vom Text und unsere Methoden der Edition beeinflussen. Ein Verständnis dieser Abhängigkeit unserer scheinbar "natürlichen" Editionsvorstellungen von einer bestimmten Technik ist ein wichtiger Ausgangspunkt für die Entwicklung neuer Editionsformen
"Sometimes I feel that this is the Russia we had always dreamed of..." : transnationalism and capitalism ; migrants from the former Soviet Union and their experiences in Germany; paper for the conference 'Alltag der Globalisierung. Perspektiven einer transnationalen Anthropologie', January 16-18, 2003, Institute of Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main
No full textThe present article explores perceptions and cultural constructions of the terms capitalism or capitalistic West among ex-Soviet, highly qualified Jewish migrants from Russia and Ukraine after their emigration to Germany between 1990 and 1996. It seems that migration offers a unique opportunity to migrants to realise knowledge that is normally taken for granted, behaviour schemes and values, and to reflect on them. How do they acquire such presumed capitalist knowledge of the new society and new social world, how do they create it, and with what concrete contents do they connect the illusion about monolithic cultural, economic and political capital, the illusion which contributes to group formation and which serves as action orientation? As my research shows, immigrants try to disparage much of what appeared to them in the Soviet Union as normative, right and appropriate; now they often act by way of categories, which were defined in the previous context as "capitalist" and were interpreted as immoral. Without exact ideas or knowledge about behaviour codes, unspoken norms and silent values from the new society, many immigrants orient themselves towards the opposite of what was counted as morally proper in the origin society. Simultaneously they revive old system through the establishing and development of a Russian language enclave. Nevertheless this enclave is not located in a vacuum of "dusty" memories from the past, but build transnational cross-border space connected and corresponding to the processes of to-day's CIS and with the life of those relatives and friends who still live there, und with whom the emigrants share intensive social networks

Jahrhundert stand u.a. mit La Mettries Werk L’homme machine (1747) und den »lebendigen« Automaten eines Vaucansons im Zeichen verschiedener »Maschinentheorien des Lebendigen«. Um bis in die Gegenwart anhaltende Tradierungen und Wandlungen des damals fundierten Mensch-Maschinen-Konstrukts erfahrbar zu machen, rückt der Mensch als Forschungsobjekt der KI und der Robotik ins Blickfeld. Es steht zu beantworten, inwieweit die Rede vom Maschinenmenschen und der Bau künstlicher Maschinen dazu verhelfen, Wissen über den Menschen zu erlangen.Preliminary Material /Warum werden lebende Organismen, insbesondere der Mensch, als lebendige Maschinen verstanden?
