One State or Two in Israel/Palestine: The Stress on Gender and Citizenship

As is the case with any of the three great Abrahamic religions, there is considerable ambiguity regarding the status and role of women both within doctrinal interpretations, and between religious and other cultural traditions in the community. These ambiguities are reflected in political practice and condition women\u27s aspirations regarding what is possible for them to achieve. Nowhere is it more true that understandings of religious imperatives permeate politics and work to make other lines of division all the more intractable than in Israel/Palestine. The proclivity to violence between the two peoples not only victimizes women, but foreshortens attention to their specific political needs and the general issue of women\u27s rights in the region

Lobbyarbeit des Deutschen Bibliotheksverbands e.V. in Bezug auf die urheberrechtliche Regelung der öffentlichen Zugänglichmachung für Unterricht und Forschung und der Wiedergabe an elektronischen Leseplätzen

In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die Lobbyaktivitäten des Deutschen Bibliothekverbands e.V. hinsichtlich der Ausgestaltung von Urheberrechtsschranken zur öffentlichen Zugänglichmachung für Unterricht und Forschung (später geregelt in § 52a UrhG) sowie der Wiedergabe an elektronischen Leseplätzen (später geregelt in § 52b UrhG) untersucht. Schwerpunktmäßig wird aufgezeigt, welche Faktoren Einfluss auf die Veränderung von Positionen und Zielen genommen haben. Dabei spielt auch das problematische Verhältnis zum Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels eine Rolle. Am Ende der Arbeit steht zudem eine Bewertung des Erfolgs der Lobbyarbeit

The Iliocapsularis Muscle: An Important Stabilizer in the Dysplastic Hip

Background: The iliocapsularis muscle is a little known muscle overlying the anterior hip capsule postulated to function as a stabilizer of dysplastic hips. Theoretically, this muscle would be hypertrophied in dysplastic hips and, conversely, atrophied in stable and well-constrained hips. However, these observations have not been confirmed and the true function of this muscle remains unknown. Questions/purposes: We quantified the anatomic dimensions and degree of fatty infiltration of the iliocapsularis muscle and compared the results for 45 hips with deficient acetabular coverage (Group I) with 40 hips with excessive acetabular coverage (Group II). Patients and Methods: We used MR arthrography to evaluate anatomic dimensions (thickness, width, circumference, cross-sectional area [CSA], and partial volume) and the amount of fatty infiltration. Results: We observed increased thickness, width, circumference, CSA, and partial volume of the iliocapsularis muscle in Group I when compared with Group II. Additionally, hips in Group I had a lower prevalence of fatty infiltration compared with those in Group II. The iliocapsularis muscle typically was hypertrophied, and there was less fatty infiltration in dysplastic hips compared with hips with excessive acetabular coverage. Conclusion: These observations suggest the iliocapsularis muscle is important for stabilizing the femoral head in a deficient acetabulum. This muscle serves as an anatomic landmark when performing a periacetabular osteotomy. Additionally, preoperative evaluation of morphologic features of the muscle can be used as an adjunct for decision making when treating patients with borderline hip dysplasia or femoroacetabular impingemen
