Franz Caucig’s „Phaedrus”

The article interprets Franz Caucig’s Socrates with a Disciple and Diotima?, one of several paintings commissioned for Palais Auersperg in Vienna, now housed at the Slovenian National Gallery. Socrates and a young man are in a pastoral setting beneath a plane tree near a river. They are addressed by a woman, and a chariot with maidens can be seen in the background. The scene is from Plato’s Phaedrus, since Socrates never leaves Athens, except for military service and in this scene from the Phaedrus. The woman addressing Socrates and Phaedrus in the painting cannot be Diotima because her chariot has two white horses, indicating a goddess. The most likely goddess would be the goddess in the poem of Parmenides of Elea, the source of the soul-chariot analogy in the Phaedrus. The setting of Caucig’s Socrates painting bears a remarkable similarity to his Amnytus painting, which features political references to Napoleon’s subjection of Gorizia, Caucig’s homeland. Caucig’s Phaedrus remarks upon Napoleon’s conquests, Hegel’s lectures on Parmenides, and David’s idealized painting of Napoleon crossing the Alps. The article interprets Franz Caucig’s Socrates with a Disciple and Diotima?, one of several paintings commissioned for Palais Auersperg in Vienna, now housed at the Slovenian National Gallery.

Investigations on the effects of dormex applications on bud-purst, ripening and table quality in round seedless

Manisa/Muradiye ilçesinde Yuvarlak Çekirdeksiz üzüm çeşidinde kış gözlerinin uyanmasından beş hafta önce % 3, % 5 ve % 7 lik dozlarda dorrneks uygulaması yapılmıştır. Yapılan dormeks uygulamalarının kış gözlerinin uyanmasına ve üzüm kalitesine olan etkileri incelenmiştir. % 3 lük dormeks uygulamasının sofralık üzüm üretiminde % 15 KM değerinde erkeneiliği sağladığı ve tüm dozların kontrole göre uyanma yüzdesini arttırdığı tespit edilmiştir.Dormex was applied to grapes cv. Round Seedless at 3, 5 and 7 % cocentrations 5 weeks prior to bud-burst. the effect of dormex applications on bud-burst and table quality was investigated. Dormex application at 3 % enhanced dry matter acumulation to 15 % and thus provided earliness. Bud-burst rate was increased in all concentrations as compared to the untreated control. 6

VERİMLİ VE TEPKİSEL TEDARİK ZİNCİRLERİNDE FARKLI UYGULAMALARIN ZİNCİR PERFORMANSINA ETKİLERİ

Literatürde tedarik zinciri performansını etkileyen faktörlere ve zincir performansının ölçümüne yönelik çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır ve çalışmaların değişik boyutları içerecek şekilde sürdürülmekte olduğu görülmektedir. Zincir içindeki farklı unsurlara odaklanmış uygulamaların performansa etkileri ve bu uygulamalar arasındaki etkileşim konuları da dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, (1) tedarik tabanı yönetimi uygulamalarının, (2) talep yönetimi uygulamalarının ve (3) dağıtım yönetimi uygulamalarının Ankara'da faaliyet gösteren yüksek hacimde üretim yapan işletmelerin tedarik zinciri performansı üzerindeki etkileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Veri analizi sonucunda, (a) her üç uygulamanın tedarik zinciri performansı üzerinde pozitif yönlü etkisi olduğu; (b) talep yönetiminin dağıtım yönetimine benzer bir etkiye sahip olduğu; (c) tedarik tabanı yönetimi uygulamalarının, talep yönetimi ve dağıtım yönetimi uygulamalarına göre daha güçlü bir etkiye sahip olduğu bulgularına ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmanın bir sonraki adımı literatürde yer alan fonksiyonel ürünler için verimli tedarik zinciri ve yenilikçi ürünler için tepkisel tedarik zinciri ayırımı temel alınarak planlanmıştır. Bu adımda tedarik tabanı yönetimi, talep yönetimi ve dağıtım yönetimi uygulamalarının zincir performansı üzerindeki etkilerinin verimli ve tepkisel tedarik zincirlerine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığına ilişkin bir analiz yapılmış ve sonuçta yukarıdaki bulgulara ilave olarak (d) tepkisel zincirlerde tedarik zinciri performansı üzerinde talep yönetimi ve dağıtım yönetimi uygulamalarının, (e) verimli zincirlerde ise tedarik tabanı yönetimi uygulamalarının etkili olduğu bulunmuştur

Effects of a kefir supplement on symptoms, colonic transit, and bowel satisfaction score in patients with chronic constipation: A pilot study

Background/Aims: Although probiotics have been extensively studied in irritable bowel syndrome, data on the impact of probiotics on chronic constipation are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the effects of kefir, which is a probiotic fermented milk product, on the symptoms, colonic transit, and bowel satisfaction scores of patients with chronic constipation. bMaterials and Methods: Twenty consecutive patients with functional constipation according to the Rome II criteria were divided into two groups based on their colon transit studies: 1. The normal transit (NT) group (n=10); and 2. The slow transit (ST) group (n=10). After a baseline period, 500 mL/day of a probiotic kefir beverage was administered to all patients for 4 weeks. Defecation parameters (stool frequency, stool consistency, degree of straining, blaxative consumption) were recorded in diaries daily by the patients. Bowel satisfaction scores were assessed using a visual analog scale. The colon transit study was repeated in the ST group at the end of the study. bResults: At the end of the study, the patients showed an increased stool frequency (p<0.001), improved stool consistency (p=0.014), and decreased laxative consumption (p=0.031). The degree of straining during evacuation showed a tendency to improve after kefir administration; however, this was not statistically significant (p=0.18). A repeat transit study showed an acceleration of colonic transit in the ST group (p=0.013). Bowel satisfaction scores also improved (p<0.001). bConclusion: This pilot study shows that kefir has positive effects on the symptoms of constipation. Our results also suggest that kefir improves bowel satisfaction scores and accelerates colonic transit. Controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings. © Copyright 2014 by The Turkish Society of Gastroenterology

Selective unresponsiveness to HBsAg vaccine in newborns related with an in utero passage of hepatitis B virus DNA

Thirty four out of 158 (22%) newborns to mothers chronically infected by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) did not produce antibodies (Ab) to HBsAg I month after the last injection of the HBV vaccine supplemented with HBV specific immunoglobulins. At birth, HBV genome,uas detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of a large majority (28 out of 34) of these non-responder newborns but never in the other newborns who responded to the HBsAg vaccine. HBV genome was detected in serum, only in some cases (nine out of 34) and never in the absence of HBV DNA in PBMC. For nine out of 14 followed newborns, the absence of response was transitory since anti-HBs Abs appeared after 15 months, without booster, while the HBV genome had disappeared. Unresponsiveness was specific to the HBV envelope protein since all late responders and 15-months-non-responders to the HBsAg vaccine produced normal levels of Abs to the three poliovirus serotypes, to tetanus toroid and to the pneumococcus polysaccharides, An in utero induced immune tolerance to low doses of HBsAg appears as the most plausible hypothesis to explain this unresponsiveness to HBV vaccine.
