Utopia and eschatology will be accepted as a manner of harmonizing two dialogical reflexes sent as well from the discussion proposed by the journal Communio: International Catholic Review as from the perspective of the operational-utopian concepts, filtered by the Transylvanian magazine Utopia in the 1930s. The magazine recovered after 48 years a coincidence of cultural-political-religious-technical order, which drew to a declared philosophical attitude. The study will verify the working hypothesis, according to which utopia is self-proclaimed, in religious register, type-program-solution and concept-belief-philosophy.展开更多

Although Thomas is a creative and distinctive text for its own community, the major framework of the Logia in a textual-statistic way was based on the traditional Sophia literature that had affected the culture, custom, and authority of the Hellenised Jewish societies. Then, what kind of scrolls, books, and writings could be the religio-historical sources for Thomas? How was Thomas transformed from those sapiential manuscripts? While three data of "the Pauline Sophia concept", "the sapiential Logia of Q", and "the sapiential themes of the Jewish apocalyptic writings" are quite relevant, the Greek fragment of Papyrus Oxyrhynchus (P. Oxy.) 654 and NHC II, 2.32:10-51:28 will evince the new insight that the ancient Logia of the Thomasine community was not "the traditional Q", but could be "a new Q" coming from the common (oral, or written, or both) Sophia tradition, as an independently developed one.展开更多

A quasi-experiment was conducted in an English teaching institution with tests as data collection instruments. The quantitative study indicates that CBI brings better outcome than Skill-Oriented Instruction (SOI) in developing language knowledge, language skills and disciplinary knowledge, achieving the general objectives of the national curriculum more effectively than the conventional SOL The findings throw a positive light on the reform of the national curriculum for English as a specialty and the education of English majors in China.展开更多

However, it has pro-arrhythmic and pro-ischaemic effects, which can potentially increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events, especially in patients with pre-existing arrhythmias. We presented a 79-year-old man with a medical history of arrhythmia, who developed atrial fibrillation after used tiotropium 18 μg daily for two weeks. We urge the caution of pro-arrhythmic effect of tiotropium. Healthcare professionals should be aware of the potential effect when prescribing tiotropium to patients with known cardiac rhythm disorders.展开更多

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Fars Province which has the fourth largest population of all 31 provinces in Iran from March 2009 to June 2010. We included data from all 542 recorded cases of fatalities due to motor vehicle accidents. Data were recorded from the foren- sic medicine registry consisting of demographic and acci- dent-related information. Demographic information con- sisted of name, age, sex, status of fatal victim (motorcycle driver vs passenger) and educational level. Results: Of the 2 345 autopsy records from the foren- sic medicine archives, 542 (23.1%) gave the cause of death as motor vehicle accidents. Mean age of these victims was (31.4±16.5) years, and the male to female ratio was 28. Head injury was the most common cause of death in these victims, and overall they tended to have a low level of education. Motorcycle accidents frequently involved younger age groups (15-35 years), and head trauma related with non-use of a helmet was the most common cause of death. Conclusions: Head injury is frequent among victims in the province we studied. This situation may be related to the victims' low socioeconomic status and little education regarding traffic laws leading to speeding and disregard of these laws along with their weak enforcement.展开更多
