SpiritualitĆ di Anthony de Mello
SlužeÄi se metodom analize, autor razlaže duhovnost Anthonuja de
Mella koja Je usko vezana za Äovjeka na putu (egzistencijalna duhovnost). No, ona nije niÅ”ta manje ni duhovnost koja govori o vjeÄnim vrijednostima. Upravo to svakodnevno s Äim se susreÄe Äovjek i Äiji Je dio i ono vjeÄno za Äim Äovjek neprestano i na razliÄite naÄine traga, u duhovnosti Anthonya de Mella naÅ”li su se zajedno.Seguendo metodo analitico, Tautore espone la spiritualita di
Anthony de Mello la quale e sttretamente legata ali\u27 uomo in cammino (la spiritualita esistenziale). Ma, questa non e tanto meno la
spiritualita dei valori eter ni. Nella spiritualita di Anthony de Mello si
trova insieme quello che Tuomo incontra nella sua quotidianita e
quell\u27eterno che Fuomo continuamente a diversi modi sta cercando
Effect of Disorder and Notches on Crack Roughness
We analyze the effect of disorder and notches on crack roughness in two
dimensions. Our simulation results based on large system sizes and extensive
statistical sampling indicate that the crack surface exhibits a universal local
roughness of and is independent of the initial notch size
and disorder in breaking thresholds. The global roughness exponent scales as
and is also independent of material disorder. Furthermore, we
note that the statistical distribution of crack profile height fluctuations is
also independent of material disorder and is described by a Gaussian
distribution, albeit deviations are observed in the tails.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Crack Roughness in the 2D Random Threshold Beam Model
We study the scaling of two-dimensional crack roughness using large scale
beam lattice systems. Our results indicate that the crack roughness obtained
using beam lattice systems does not exhibit anomalous scaling in sharp contrast
to the simulation results obtained using scalar fuse lattices. The local and
global roughness exponents ( and , respectively) are equal
to each other, and the two-dimensional crack roughness exponent is estimated to
be . Removal of overhangs (jumps) in the
crack profiles eliminates even the minute differences between the local and
global roughness exponents. Furthermore, removing these jumps in the crack
profile completely eliminates the multiscaling observed in other studies. We
find that the probability density distribution of the
height differences of the crack profile
obtained after removing the jumps in the profiles follows a Gaussian
distribution even for small window sizes ().Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
Health care in Bosnia and Herzegovina before, during, and after 1992ā1995 war: a personal testimony
Market-based health care reform during democratic transition in Bosnia and Herzegovina was complicated by the 1992ā1995 war, that devastated the country and greater part of its health care infrastructure. The course of the transition and consequences of war for the health system and health professionals are presented here from the perspective of the author. The description of real-life situations and their context is used to illustrate the problems physicians, as well as international community, were faced with and how they tried to cope with them during and after the war. Speaking openly about the mistakes that were made in those times is the first step in preventing them from happening again and an invitation for exchange of opinions and open academic discussion
Replication of fifteen loci involved in human plasma protein N-glycosylation in 4,802 samples from four cohorts
Human protein glycosylation is a complex process, and its in vivo regulation is poorly understood. Changes in glycosylation patterns are associated with many human diseases and conditions. Understanding the biological determinants of protein glycome provides a basis for future diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) allow to study biology via a hypothesis-free search of loci and genetic variants associated with a trait of interest. Sixteen loci were identified by three previous GWAS of human plasma proteome N-glycosylation. However, the possibility that some of these loci are false positives needs to be eliminated by replication studies, which have been limited so far. Here, we use the largest set of samples so far (4,802 individuals) to replicate the previously identified loci. For all but one locus, the expected replication power exceeded 95%. Of the sixteen loci reported previously, fifteen were replicated in our study. For the remaining locus (near the KREMEN1 gene) the replication power was low, and hence replication results were inconclusive. The very high replication rate highlights the general robustness of the GWAS findings as well as the high standards adopted by the community that studies genetic regulation of protein glycosylation. The fifteen replicated loci present a good target for further functional studies. Among these, eight genes encode glycosyltransferases: MGAT5, B3GAT1, FUT8, FUT6, ST6GAL1, B4GALT1, ST3GAL4, and MGAT3. The remaining seven loci offer starting points for further functional follow-up investigation into molecules and mechanisms that regulate human protein N-glycosylation in vivo
New Paradigm in Training of Undergraduate Clinical Skills: the NEPTUNE-CS project at the Split University School of Medicine
Clinical skillsā training is arguably the weakest point in medical schoolsā curriculum. This study briefly describes how we at the Split University School of Medicine cope with this problem. We consider that, over the last decades, a considerable advancement in teaching methodologies, tools, and assessment of students has been made. However, there are many unresolved issues, most notably: (i) the institutional value system, impeding the motivation of the teaching staff; (ii) lack of a strong mentoring system; (iii) organization, timing, and placement of training in the curriculum; (iv) lack of publications pertinent to training; and (v) unwillingness of patients to participate in student training. To improve the existing training models we suggest increased institutional awareness of obstacles, as well as willingness to develop mechanisms for increasing the motivation of faculty. It is necessary to introduce changes in the structure and timing of training and to complement it with a catalog, practicum, and portfolio of clinical skills. At Split University School of Medicine, we developed a new paradigm aimed to improve the teaching of clinical skills called āNeptune-CSS,ā which stands for New Paradigm in Training of Undergraduate Clinical Skills in Split
