Former lexis of Ciechanowiec and surrounding villagesIntroduction includes: a) the synthetic approach to the history of micro-regions – geographic location, ethnic and confessional composition, Krzysztof Kluk Museum of Agriculture, Krzysztof Kluk – a priest, an eighteenth-century naturalist who was born and settled here; b) a description of the microtoponimy of Ciechanowiec; c) a description of the local dialect; d) a list of place names; e) a dialect dictionary in alphabetical order; f) a list of proverbs and phraseological saings. In the dictionary part there is lexical material no longer used today, or so we hear rarely, usually at home, in the family. Using it is subject to certain factors: age of the caller, the themes of conversation, particular emotional situation or the other. The entries record not only the meaning of the word, but also the diversity of phonetic, inflectional, peculiar grammatical forms. The usual entry articles are examples of the use of the word in context, and often phrases and proverbs. Ранее употребляемая лексика города Цехановец и окрестных деревеньВступительная часть исследования состоит из: а) синтетического подхода к истории микрорайона – географическое положение, этнический и религиозный состав, краткий очерк истории Сельскохозяйственного музея имени священника и биолога Кшиштофа Kлюка, родившегося и работавшего в Цехановце в XVIII столетии; б) описания микротопонимии города Цехановец; в) описания местного говора; г) списка географических названий; д) словаря местного диалекта; е) списка пословиц и фразеологических оборотов.

The Introduction gives the background of the significance of translating and study of the text Errors of the Three Religions. The history of the development of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism in Vietnam from their beginning until the eighteenth century is narrated. Particular attention is given to the different manners in which the Three Religions were taken up by nobles and literati, on the one hand, and commoners, on the other. The chapter also presents the pragmatic approach to religion taken by the Vietnamese, which was in part responsible for the receptivity of the Vietnamese to Christianity. The significance of the discovery of Errors and its impact on Vietnamese studies are also discussed.

ABSTRACTIn the vibrant current debate about European empires and their ideologies, one basic dichotomy still tends to be overlooked: that between, on the one hand, the plurality of modern empires of colonisation, commerce and settlement; and, on the other, the traditional claim to single and undividedimperiumso long embodied in the Roman Empire and its successor, the Holy Roman Empire, or (First) Reich. This paper examines the tensions between the two, as manifested in the theory and practice of Habsburg imperial rule. The Habsburgs, emperors of the Reich almost continuously through its last centuries, sought to build their own power-base within and beyond it. The first half of the paper examines how by the eighteenth century their ‘Monarchy’, subsisting alongside the Reich, dealt with the associated legacy of empire. After the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 the Habsburgs could pursue a free-standing Austrian ‘imperialism’, but it rested on an uneasy combination of old and new elements and was correspondingly vulnerable to challenge from abroad and censure at home. The second half of the article charts this aspect of Habsburg government through an age of international imperialism and its contribution to the collapse of the Dual Monarchy in 1918.

When the Chairman of Council asked me to read a paper at the Jubilee Meeting of the Classical Association, I felt highly honoured by this kind invitation. Twice before I have enjoyed the privilege of reading papers at General Meetings of the Association during the last war, when I had been most hospitably received in this country and had found a new home at Oxford. I confess I still feel quite at home here, and it gives me enormous pleasure to come over from Munich and to speak to you once more; so I am deeply grateful to you for giving me this opportunity.But I think I owe you at least one word of explanation for the strange title of this lecture. The Chairman of Council said in his letter ‘that although one lecture should be given on the history of the Classical Association, the other papers should look forward rather than backward’. Now, I had been doing some work on a Hellenistic poet myself, especially during the years at Oxford; as far as I am concerned, I have finished with studies in that province of learning.

In his great 1848 historical drama,Ein Bruderzwist im Hause Habsburg, the Austrian playwright Franz Grillparzer has Emperor Matthias utter the words that have often been applied to understanding the whole history of the Habsburg monarchy:Das ist der Fluch von unserm edeln Haus:Auf halben Wegen und zu halber TatMit halben Mitteln zauderhaft zu streben.[That is the curse of our noble house:Striving hesitatingly on half waysto half action with half means.]True as those sentiments may be of many periods in the history of the monarchy, the one period of which it cannotbe said is the second half of eighteenth century. The age of Maria Theresa, Joseph II, and Leopold II was perhaps the greatest era of consistent and committed reform in the four-hundred-year history of the monarchy. What I want to address in this article are some aspects of the dynamic of this reform era, and this falls into two categories. On the one hand, there is the broad energizing or motive force behind the larger development, and on the other, there are the ideas or assumptions that lay behind the policies adopted. As might be evident from the subtitle of my article, I propose to look primarily at the second of these categories. I do so because I think while Habsburg historiography has reached considerable consensus on the first, it has not looked enough on the second as an explanatory hermeneutic.

Summary The first family-tree diagram in August Schleicher’s (1821–68) published work appeared in 1853, seven years after his first printed discussion of the family-tree concept. In 1853 there also appeared Čteni o srovnavaci mluvnici slovanské by the Czech scholar František Ladislav Čelakovský (1799–1852); this book also contained a family-tree diagram. Since Čelakovský and Schleicher were contemporaries in Prague for over two years, their interrelationship is of interest: was this rivalry of collaboration? At first sight, a coincidence seems improbable. In the available work on and by Schleicher, Čelakovský is never mentioned; in the writings on and by Čelakovský, Schleicher’s name is never linked to his. However, the two had very many common interests. Apart from being colleagues at Charles University, they shared the same friends and enemies, were both interested in music and botany, and so on. Moreover, both were working on Slavic Historical Linguistics during the period in question. On the other hand, their personalities were such that the possibility of a mutual antipathy must not be excluded. Given the background to Čelakovský’s life and work, including the legends of the common origin of the Slavs and the obviously close interrelationships of the Slavic languages; the burgeoning of interest in Slavic history and linguistics, and in Panslavicism; the popularity of genealogy; and the developments in classificatory techniques along natural scientific lines, it is argued that Čela-kovský’s depiction of a family-tree for the Slavic languages could be quite naturally expected from him at this point in time, without any influence from Schleicher. On the other hand, Schleicher’s first family-tree diagrams were the next logical step in his own development. Moreover, the actual form of the diagrams in question suggests that they may indeed have been developed independently. This puzzle in the history of linguistics remains unsolved: collaboration, rivalry, and coincidence are all possible.

A small collection of family papers provides intimate and illuminating material on the illness and death of a much-loved teenager. Charlotte Bloomfield was the daughter of Lord Benjamin Bloomfield, confidant of the Prince Regent and from 1823 British ambassador at Stockholm. In 1825 Bloomfield had Charlotte painted with pretty golden curls by the fashionable miniaturist Anne Mee (Fig. 1). She holds her pet rabbit. Her story has rich resonances for the study of the evangelical household. This essay explores how a lingering death of this kind could produce a family crisis, which was in effect a test of faith. The case is also interesting in terms of the history of the medical treatment of children at home. Moreover, it shows how memorialization of such a death sustained the evangelical piety of the family in the decades that followed. This account gives particular attention to the particular roles and responsibilities of family and household members.

This study focuses on the French Enlightenment's fascination with the materiality of non-Western and nonalphabetic scripts in the broader context of the history of the book. By examining definitions of writing in the Encyclopédie as well as Françoise de Graffigny's novelistic appropriation of the Inca quipu script in Lettres d'une Péruvienne (1747), I argue that there emerges from these texts a conception of the literary sign capable of challenging the fundamental principles of the Enlightenment printed book: dematerialized textuality and absolute legibility. Shaped by the scriptural imagination of eighteenth-century book culture, literature was able to acquire full aesthetic legitimacy only insofar as it was defined as the other of the purely semantic text.

SummaryA 14 year old boy was referred to us for a detailed coagulation study because a previously performed aPTT has been found prolonged. The boy had no history of bleeding symptoms and also the family history was negative for bleeding or thrombotic events. The aPTT in the patient was 96 s (reference range: 24–36 s), prothrombin time and thrombin time were both normal.As the cause for the prolonged aPTT we identified a severe prekallikrein deficiency (prekallikrein activity < 1%). The prekallikrein deficiency results from two mutations in the KLKB 1-gene: first, an insertion of 1 bp in codon 149 in exon 5 and, second, a base exchange Cys 548 (TGC) > Tyr (TAC) in exon 14. The boy inherited the first mutation from his father and the second from his mother. The mutation in the paternal allele was not described before the completion of our study. There are two brothers of the propositus, one with normal prekallikrein activity and no mutations in the KLKB1-gene, the other showed the same constellation as the propositus.

Abstract Introduction Burn patients may present with an inability to communicate. In these cases, we need to rely on surrogates such as the Medical Power of Attorney (MPoA) or next of kin. A MPoA gives the agent the authority to participate in medical decision and in accordance with their wishes. The agent may consent to, refuse, withdraw, or withhold treatment, including life-sustaining interventions. At times, they may feel unable to participate in decision making without assistance (i.e. family members). The process can become more complicated and decision making can become “muddied” due to others influencing decisions. In our state, the MPoA is the proxy if the patient is unable to participate in decision making; however, there are cases when the patient doesn’t have an MPoA and the next of kin is the surrogate. In these cases, the next of kin would be consulted in the following order: spouse, adult children, parents, and nearest relatives. Some next of kin may not know the patient’s wishes complicating their care. Methods Two cases involving surrogates: #1: 60-year-old man with a history of HIV involved in a MVC and sustained 30% TBSA third and fourth degree burns to the face, torso, and extremities. The severity of his injuries and outcomes were discussed with his wife. She was not certain what her would want and she consulted her family because she did not know what to do; however, she knew that he would not want to live like this. After talking to the family, the kids “over-ruled” her. They wanted aggressive care despite the risks of complications and inability to perform ADLs because of his severe facial and hand burns. Case#2: 40 something year-old man with a history of schizophrenia that sustained 65% TBSA third and fourth degree burns to his face, neck, torso, and extremities due to self-immolation. The patient’s mother was identified, and it was explained to the patient’s mother that if he did survive his injury, he will not be able to perform any of his ADLs due his hand and facial burns. The patient’s mother wanted everything done for her son. Results Both patients were unable to perform ADLs due to their injuries. One patient was discharged for further inpatient care and the other was discharged home because his mother refused further care. The first patient was unable to communicate about his thoughts on his outcome. The other patient was discharged home. He was upset about what he looked like. He also told the staff that he will do his best to finish what he started. Conclusions Complex issues can arise when the patient cannot communicate their wishes and the next of kin plays the role of surrogate. The family may disagree and alter the decision-making process. After seeing this scenario play out and patients not being happy about their outcomes, the policies regarding surrogate decision making should be re-evaluated.

Vona Groarke's 2008 version of Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill's famous keen for her husband, Chaoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire, features a poetic voice overtly inflected by Irish, English, and American diction and usage. Groarke's poem emphasizes its status as a textual event in more than one time frame as well as another spatial setting. The other time is multiple, including the many translations and discussions of the lament from its eighteenth-century composition until now. The place is also multiple: it might be Dublin or Manchester, Boston or London, or Wake Forest, North Carolina, where Groarke spends part of every year. This new poem stresses the mobility of Eileen's passionate lament: in Groarke's hands, it becomes a poem of the particular place that manages also, intriguingly, to highlight transnational cultural and linguistic implications. This version, another chapter in the history of a work that begins in the fluidity of oral composition and is repeatedly reworked in translations, emphasizes domestic space as generative as well as excessive, the site of desire. Groarke's poem locates itself both inside and, crucially, outside, a place to which one comes ‘carrying nothing’ in order to find, in a seeming paradox, nonrestrictive structures.
