Autonomy and Orthodox Diaspora from the Point of View of the Documents Adopted by the Holy and Great Council

 Since the beginning of the debates on the topics which could be discussed at the Orthodox Church"™s Synod, autocephaly, autonomy, the Orthodox diaspora and the diptychs were part of the proposed themes. Their analysis during the preparatory process highlighted the fact that Orthodox Churches cannot reach a consensus regarding two of them: autocephaly and diptychs. Under these conditions, the Synaxis of the Orthodox Church"™s primates, convened in Constantinople in 2014, decided to withdraw them from the agenda. Out of the four above"mentioned themes only Autonomy and the Means by Which it is Proclaimed  and The Orthodox Diaspora were kept for debate and approval. In this paper I will briefly analyse these two documents, emphasising the contribution of the Synod to the clarification of the topics, highlighting some fundamental elements, and aspects that are as yet unresolved. Keywords:  autonomy, diaspora, Holy and Great Council, Canon Law, canons, synodality, diptych

Fixed-Point Results on Complete G-Metric Spaces for Mappings Satisfying an Implicit relation of New Type

We prove general fixed-point theorems (generalizing some recent results) in a complete G-metric space.Доведено загальні теореми про нерухому точку у повних G-метричних просторах, що узагальнюють дєякі результати, отримані нещодавно

FIXED POINTS FOR TWO PAIRS OF ABSORBING MAPPINGS IN WEAK PARTIAL METRIC SPACES

In this paper, a general fixed point theorem for two pairs of absorbing mappings in weak partial metric space, using implicit relations, has been proved

The Social Distribution and Long-Term Effects of Childhood Maltreatment: An Analysis of the Moderating Effects of Social Status and Parental Support

This study explores the relationship between childhood physical maltreatment and two mental health outcomes, psychological distress and problem drinking, in a nationally representative sample. Data from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS), which measured childhood experiences with parental physical maltreatment and adult mental health outcomes, were used to examine the conditional effects of childhood maltreatment on psychological distress and problem drinking. A "gender-difference hypothesis" predicts that childhood physical maltreatment is more strongly related to distress among women and is more strongly related to problem drinking among men. The results support this hypothesis only for psychological distress. A "saturation hypothesis" predicts that women are more likely to have higher rates of problem drinking but not distress, and men experience elevated rates of distress but not problem drinking. No significant findings emerged to support the second hypothesis. Results also suggest that, among respondents who experienced either any physical maltreatment or major psychical maltreatment, low parental support exacerbates the negative impact of physical maltreatment on distress. This research underscores the importance of structural and contextual factors for the long-term consequences of childhood physical maltreatment

FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR TWO PAIRS OF MAPPINGS IN PARTIAL METRIC SPACES

In this paper, a general fixed point theorem for two pairs of weakly compatible mappings satisfying a - implicit relation different from the type from [16] is proved. As applications, we obtain the sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed points for a sequence of mappings in partial metric spaces

The Role of miRNAs in Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment Prediction in Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer represents one of the major problems of health women worldwide, especially in the developing countries. If discovered in its earliest stages, cervical cancer is successfully treatable; however, due to lack of proper implementation of screening programs, the majority of cervical cancer patients are diagnosed in advanced stages, which dramatically influence their outcome. Almost a half of these patients will suffer recurrence or metastasis in the following 2 years after therapy. If there are no immediate prospects in terms of developing new or more effective therapies, identifying new tools for early diagnosis, prognosis and treatment prediction remains a big challenge for cervical cancer. miRNAs have been validated to be key players in cell physiology, alterations in miRNA expression being associated with cancer progression and response to therapy. Cervical cancer studies have showed that alterations of miRNA expression can be identified in tumor tissues, exfoliated cervical cells and patients serum and that their transcription pattern is regulated by the present HPV genotype. Furthermore, miRNAs have been associated with patients response to therapy, therefore suggesting their potential to be used as biomarkers for cervical cancer diagnosis, prognosis and treatment response

Evolutionary perspectives, heterogeneity and ovarian cancer: a complicated tale from past to present

Ovarian cancer is composed of a complex system of cells best described by features such as clonal evolution, spatial and temporal genetic heterogeneity, and development of drug resistance, thus making it the most lethal gynecologic cancer. Seminal work on cancer as an evolutionary process has a long history; however, recent cost-effective large-scale molecular profiling has started to provide novel insights coupled with the development of mathematical algorithms. In the current review, we have systematically searched for articles that focused on the clonal evolution of ovarian cancer to offer the whole landscape of research that has been done and highlight future research avenues given its characteristic features and connections to evolutionary biology. Keywords: Clonal evolution; Ovarian cancer; Spatial heterogeneity; Survival; Temporal heterogeneit

Logging for Cloud Computing Forensic Systems

Cloud computing represents a different paradigm in the field of distributed computing that involves more and more researchers. We can see in this context the need to know exactly where, when and how a piece of data is processed or stored. Compared with classic digital forensic, the field of cloud forensic has a lot of difficulties because data is not stored on a single place and furthermore it involves the use of virtualization technologies. In this paper we present in detail a new way of monitoring activity in cloud environments and datacenters using a secure cloud forensic framework. We talk about what architecture must this framework implement and how can it be applied on top of new or existing cloud computing deployments. For testing and results  we have implemented this solution to our previous developed cloud computing system

A general fixed point theorem for a pair of self mappings with common limit range property in G - metric spaces

In this paper a general fixed point theorem for a pair of self mappings with common limit range property in G - metric spaces satisfying an implicit relationis proved. In the last part of this paper, as applications, some fixed point results for mappings satisfying contractive conditions of integral type, for almost contractivemappings, for \phi - contractive mappings and for (\phi,\psi) - weak contractive mappings in G - metric spaces, are obtained
