Anorectal malformations

Abstract The research described in this thesis was performed with the aim to evaluate and improve multidisciplinary treatment of anorectal malformation patients. An overview of current literature on treatment of anorectal malformations is given in the Preface section, which also includes an overview of this thesis. The results of the research are presented in two parts: Part 1 focuses on postnatal care and contains retrospective studies, while Part 2 focuses on long-term outcome from childhood into adulthood, and presents a cohort study and prospective studies. Then, the General discussion, Recommendations, and Summaries form Part 3, and Appendices are provided in Part 4

The ethical orientations of education as a practice in its own right

This article is the second of a two-part investigation, the first part of which was published in Ethics and Education, vol. 5, issue 2, 2010, under the title ‘Preface to an ethics of education as a practice in its own right’. Although it builds on the arguments of that ‘preface’, this second part of the investigation can be read as a stand-alone essay. It begins with a brief review of a new subordination of educational practice achieved by a neoliberal tenor in international educational reforms in recent decades in Western societies. The practical context for the essay however is that failure of many of these reforms, like the failure of neo-liberal dominance in socioeconomic policy, has given rise to emergent opportunities where inspirations for educational debate and policy-making are concerned. Arguing for the uptake of such opportunity, the ethical tenor of education as a practice in its own right is explored under four headings: (1) review and clarification of the inherent purposes of education as a practice; (2) investigation of educationally productive pathways that are characteristic of education as a practice in its own right; (3) elucidation of a recognisable family of virtues that arise from that practice itself; (4) exploration of the kinds of relationships through which these virtues, and their educational fruits, are nourished

Some Notes on the Interpretation of Rapid Fluctuations in Earth-Currents Observed in High Latitudes

[PREFACE] This report was prepared as a part of the Interdisciplinary study of the upper atmospheric disturbance in the polar regions that is conducted at the Geophysical Institute under Dr, C. T. Elvey, Director of the Institute. The report is primarily intended for the student of geophysics who is interested in this subject. A part of the mathematical procedure that was previously given by Prof. A. T. Price (reference 9 in end of paper) is included in Sections 4 to 6 with some modifications so as to enable the student to follow, without referring to Prof. Price’s paper, the derivation of the formulae which are used in the present discussion* and to apply the method to similar problems. November 15, 1958 M. S.This paper shows that a periodically varying infinite linear current, or a periodically varying turbulent circular current of small radius (here approximated by a magnetic dipole with a changing dipole moment), in the ionosphere, which will give rise to magnetic variations of observed order of magnitude, is adequate for producing voltage differences in the ground of order 0 .1 to 1 volt per kilometer that are frequently observed in high latitudes during disturbed periods. It appears difficult to interpret the earth-current record in terms of its primary origin, unless the distribution of the perturbing magnetic field and that of electric conductivity of the earth are both adequately known. However, the earth-current record is a good indicator of the upper atmospheric disturbance in the polar regions.Ye

The ‘Two Experiments’ of Kant’s Religion: Dismantling the Conundrum

The past decade has seen a sizable increase in scholarship on Kant’s Religion. Yet, unlike the centuries of debate that inform our study of his other major works, scholarship on the Religion is still just in its infancy. As such, it is in a particularly vulnerable state where errors made now could hinder scholarship for decades to come. It is the purpose of this paper to mitigate one such danger, a danger issuing from the widely assumed view that the Religion is shaped by “two experiments.” We will begin with a survey of the four current interpretations of the experiments, and then propose one further interpretation, one that hopefully will help dismantle this alleged “conundrum” and thereby help scholarship on the Religion move beyond this early misstep

London, British Library, Cotton Otho C. i, vol. 2: Gregory (Wærferth), "Dialogues," "Vitae Patrum"

219. London, British Library, Cotton Otho C. i, vol. 2 Gregory (Wærferth), "Dialogues," "Vitae Patrum" [Ker 182, Gneuss 359] HISTORY: Ff. 1-61 (A below), containing the metrical preface, introductory lines, and Books 1 and 2 of Gregory's "Dialogues," were probably copied early in the llc from what was most likely a 9c manuscript from Sherbourne. The metrical preface and introductory lines to the translation of Gregory's "Dialogues" survive only in this manuscript. Sisam (1953: 202) first noticed that in the metrical preface the -tan of Wulfstan (f. lr/8) in 'Me awritan het Wulfstan bisceop' was written over an erasure and in a later hand, probably second half of the llc, when apparently someone altered the name to make it appear that it was written for St. Wulfstan of Worcester. His suggestion that the original readingwas Wulfsige, bishop of Sherbourne in the time of Alfred, is generally accepted. Ff. 62-148 (B and C), containing Books 3 and 4 (incomplete) of Gregory's "Dialogues," translations from the "Vitae Patrum," the letter of Boniface, and "Evil Tongues," were written about forty years after Part A in two hands in a script which Ker (Cat.) believes is characteristic of Worcester manuscripts of the same date. It is not known why Books 3 and 4 were added much later; it is possible that they replaced original ones which were somehow lost. Sisam (1953: 203 and n. 2) notes that Book 2 ends as if something follows. The remainder of the manuscript, ff. 149-155 (D), containing Ælfrician material but missing leaves at the beginning and end, is believed by Sisam not to have been part of the rest of the volume originally. He notes that many letters were unskillfully freshened up in this section in a hand which substituted a Caroline 'g' for an Insular one; a 12c reader's hand is also found here but nowhere else in the volume. Running titles in a script and format characteristic of known Worcester manuscripts are visible on a number of folios throughout the manuscript as it now stands (see "Additions" below), suggesting that the entire volume was in Worcester by 1060 x 1080. Glosses throughout in the tremulous hand confirm it was still there in the first half of the 13c. The volume had left the Worcester library by 1593. An inscription in the bottom margin of f. 3 lr reads 'Michaeli Lapworthus medicus Novemb. 1593' (apparently a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, in 1562). Atkins and Ker (1944: 12) note that the Lapworth family was from Sowe in Warwickshire. It was acquired by Cotton and bound together with volume 1 before 1621, as noted in the catalogue of the Cotton library made in 1621 (now Harley 6018). The Cotton fire of 1731 damaged the manuscript but no leaves were lost
