Civil Code of the Russian Federation: Pts. 1, 2 & 3 /
No full textThe Third Part of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation was adopted by the Russian Parliament on November 26, 2001, to take effect on March 1, 2002. It has two divisions: Inheritance Law and Private International Law. This translation of the Third Part of the Code by Peter B. Maggs includes an introduction by Professor Maggs as well as all amendments to the first two parts of the Code. Some of these amendments are of a purely technical nature, but some include substantive changes. This volume thus complements the first and second parts of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, published in 1997 by M.E. Sharpe

Influences of host community characteristics on Borrelia burgdorferi infection prevalence in Blacklegged ticks
No full textLyme disease is a major vector-borne bacterial disease in the USA. The disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, and transmitted among hosts and humans, primarily by blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis). The ~25 B. burgdorferi genotypes, based on genotypic variation of their outer surface protein C (ospC), can be phenotypically separated as strains that primarily cause human diseases – human invasive strains (HIS) – or those that rarely do – and are non-randomly associated with host species. The goal of this study was to examine the extent to which phenotypic outcomes of B. burgdorferi could be explained by the host communities fed upon by blacklegged ticks. In 2006 and 2009, we determined the host community composition based on abundance estimates of the vertebrate hosts, and collected host-seeking nymphal ticks in 2007 and 2010 to determine the ospC genotypes within infected ticks. We regressed instances of B. burgdorferi phenotypes on site-specific characteristics of host communities by constructing Bayesian hierarchical models that properly handled missing data. The models provided quantitative support for the relevance of host composition on Lyme disease risk pertaining to B. burgdorferi prevalence (i.e., overall nymphal infection prevalence, or NIPAll) and HIS prevalence among the infected ticks (NIPHIS). In 2006, we found positive associations of the relative abundances of mice, of chipmunks, and of shrews with NIPAll. We also found positive associations of NIPHIS with shrews, and with host community diversity (H’), but negative associations with mice, and with chipmunks. In 2009, the relative abundance of mice showed a positive association with NIPAll, whereas the relative abundance of shrews and of H’ showed a negative association. With NIPHIS, only H’ showed a positive association, whereas the relative abundances of mice, of chipmunks, and of shrews, had negative associations. Our study highlights the variability between two years in the effects of host composition on B. burgdorferi genotypes. More importantly, our results highlight how disease risk inference, based on the role of host community, changes when we examine risk overall or at the phenotypic level. Long-term studies will be necessary to detect any consistent effects of host community composition on genotypic variation in the Lyme disease spirochetes
Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ

Educational opportunities for physically handicapped students in post-Soviet Russia: the role of the judicial system
No full textThis thesis examines the role of the judicial system in deciding educational opportunities for physically disabled students in post-Soviet Russia. First, the history of the approach to education for disabled citizens in the Soviet Union and the legacy this has left for the independent Russian Federation is discussed. Then, twenty separate court cases from varied regions of Russia, adjudicated between 2010 and 2013 are surveyed in order to determine whether Russian judges have required schools and municipal authorities to install ramps for mobility-impaired citizens on the basis of the 1995 federal law “On the Social Protection of Handicapped Persons”. The conclusion is drawn that Russian judges consistently uphold the implementation of ramps for accessibility in school buildings, but that these cases are indicative of a broader piecemeal approach to accessibility.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2013-04-25T17:30:39Z

Peter Kean to Susan Niemcewicz August 9, 1809
No full textPeter Kean wrote from Albany, New York to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. After a most charming ride with Mrs. Banyer, Mr. Ridley, Sally Jay, and Susan Livingston, Susan’s letter together with Papa’s arrived as if to crown the happiness of the day. Thanked Susan for the assurances and good advice. It was important to Peter to know Susan’s reasons for him not reposing confidence in Mrs. Bz. As the confidence originated on the part of Sally Jay and she said she would consult her on the subject. Mrs. B. had in a measure become the only organ by which Peter could discover Sally’s thoughts as it respected the object he most earnestly desired to obtain. Peter discovered no change of sentiments and relied upon the bounty and goodness of God. Susan said she was reading Seneca and Peter claimed that while he was a charming and beautiful author, he was a pagan and not too fit a source to derive the precepts of true wisdom. Tom Grimké passed through Albany on his way to Balltown and informed Peter that he left his father’s family well and that Colonel Shubrick had not yet commenced the suit, neither had anything been done by Mr. B about the Paris Island Land.
People mentioned: Mrs. Banyer, Mr. Ridley, Sarah Louisa Jay (1792-1818), Susan Livingston, Mrs. B., Thomas Smith Grimké (1786-1834), and Colonel Shubrick.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1493/thumbnail.jp
