Abstract. The first mention of pancreatic cancer dates back to 1761, when the six-volume work of the famous Italian anatomist G. Morgagni On the location and causes of diseases discovered through dissection was published. However, the history of surgical treatment of malignant tumors of the pancreas dates back to the end of the 19th century. The accumulated experience of operational techniques and the introduction of aseptic rules created objective prerequisites for performing operations in complex anatomical zones during that period of time. On July 16, 1882, the famous German surgeon F. Trendelenburg, firstly, performed a successful resection of the tail of the pancreas for sarcoma, founding the development of surgery in this field. However, the success in this sphere could not be shifted to a tumor of the head of the gland due to the subsequent separation of the duct system from the duodenum. Over the following years, many outstanding surgeons tried to solve this problem, such as: A. Codivilla, W. Halsted, W. Kaush, until in the early 40s A. Whipple proposed a new method of pancreatoduodenal resection, that became the gold standard for head cancer treatment pancreas. Although it was not possible to achieve significant success in the treatment of cancer in the original method of operation, as a result at various stages of time this procedure wasnt used a lot and was almost forgotten. Today, surgery remains the leading method in the complex treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer. Minimally invasive technologies have been actively introduced into pancreatic surgery in the past two decades. The indications for surgery have been expanded, lymphadenectomy standards have been introduced, thereby increasing the chances of a successful cure.

People have been visiting and living in the Victorian Grampians, also known as Gariwerd, for thousands of generations. They have both witnessed and caused vast environmental transformations in and around the ranges. Gariwerd: An Environmental History of the Grampians explores the geological and ecological significance of the mountains and combines research from across disciplines to tell the story of how humans and the environment have interacted, and how the ways people have thought about the environments of the ranges have changed through time. In this new account, historian Benjamin Wilkie examines how Djab wurrung and Jardwadjali people and their ancestors lived in and around the mountains, how they managed the land and natural resources, and what kinds of archaeological evidence they have left behind over the past 20 000 years. He explores the history of European colonisation in the area from the middle of the 19th century and considers the effects of this on both the first people of Gariwerd and the environments of the ranges and their surrounding plains in western Victoria. The book covers the rise of science, industry and tourism in the mountains, and traces the eventual declaration of the Grampians National Park in 1984. Finally, it examines more recent debates about the past, present and future of the park, including over its significant Indigenous history and heritage.

The 19Th Century

Folk tales and tradition evidence that people in Udin Boršt were aware of caves from old. In the 19th century a special type of outlaws occurred in Gorenjska. One of the centres was in Udin Boršt where brigands hid in caves. Under the French occupation the villagers hid in the caves, while during the 2nd World War they were partisans. Water is another factor playing an important role at studying Udin Boršt. Most of the villages were water supplied from Udin Boršt, partly out of caves. As elsewhere in conglomerates in Udin Boršt also there are traces of rock cutting for millstones. The first printed news about the caves in Udin Boršt are found in Valvasor’s Die Ehre des Herzothums Crain. The book History of the Ljubljana Bishop’s Diocese cites seven caves. The modern caving research started in 1946. In 1954 the members of the Natural Science Circle of the 1st Grammar School, Kranj started to visit caves in Udin Boršt. About that time a co-worker of the Karst Research Institute from Postojna started to research these caves. The caves in Udin Boršt were revisited in the seventieth of the past century in connection with the project “Speleological Map of Slovenia”. The connection between the people and the land can be seen from the topographical names too. The last part of the paper deals with these names, including the explanation of the name Udin Boršt. Da so ljudje jame v Udin borštu že dolgo poznali, se odraža v ljudskem blagu in izročilu. V 19. stol. je nastalo rokovnjaštvo. Eno od središč je bilo v Udin borštu, kjer so se rokovnjači skrivali po jamah. Pred Francozi so se skrivali po jamah tudi vaščani, med II. svetovno vojno pa partizani. Drugi dejavnik, ki je igral veliko vlogo pri spoznavanju jam v Udin borštu, je voda. Večina vasi je dobivala vodo iz Udin boršta, deloma iz jam. Kot drugod v konglomeratu, so tudi v Udin borštu sledi lomljenja kamine za mlinske kamne. Prva tiskana vest o jamah v Udin borštu je v Valvasorjevem delu »Slava vojvodine Kranjske«. V Zgodovini fara Ljubljanske škofije je omenjenih sedem jam. Sodobno jamarsko raziskovanje se je pričelo leta 1946. 1954 so pričeli obiskovati jame v Udin borštu člani Prirodoslovnega krožka I. gimnazije iz Kranja. V istem času se je raziskovanja teh jam lotil sodelavec Inštituta za raziskovanje krasa SAZU iz Postojne. Jame v Udin borštu so bile ponovno obiskane sredi sedemdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja, v okviru velikega projekta »Speleološka karta Slovenije«. Povezanost človeka z zemljo se vidi tudi iz krajevnih in ledinskih imen. Zadnji del prispevka se ukvarja s temi imeni, vključno z razlago imena Udin boršt.

The uncomfortable situation of Poles in Lithuania is, among other things, the effect of Lithuanian historical education. Excerpts from the textbook on the history of Lithuania show diametrical differences in contemporary ideas about the past of both nations. Shared heroes are useful to overcome prejudices of the previous century (which affect the image of 1385-1795). One of them is Michał Kleofas Ogiński, Lithuanian nobleman, a political activist during the last years of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and two decades after its collapse. He has the rank of a great national hero in Lithuania and Belarus but is valued in Poland above all because of his piano compositions. The analysis of fragments of his work Memoirs about Poland and Poles helps us to regard a representative of the noble nation from a different perspective. It makes us aware of the cohesion of Polish and Lithuanian national identity at the turn of the 19th century, helps us to appreciate the heritage of the past and offers a chance to build positive relations between us. Rectifying a distorted vision of history is a prospect for a mature partnership now and in the future.

The City

The city of Rio de Janeiro is known by its natural beauties. The mountains and the sea make the city the postcard of Brazil. The sculpture of the carioca landscape is closely related to the augen gneiss, very resistant rock to the weathering and, for this reason, it stands out in the relief. It gives form for Sugar Loaf and Corcovado, for example. Augen gneiss was used in the construction of most of the historical buildings of the city, including museums and churches, many of them were built in the 19th century. It was used in the sculpture of ornaments, facades and frames of doors and windows. The exploitation of the augen gneiss was presented by Jean Baptiste Debret in his book "Voyage Pittoresque et Historique au Brésil". A picture of quarry is presented at Morro da Glória and describes the extraction method by slave labor. He informes that the augen gneiss is softer, less expensive and more easily exploited. It was destined, mainly, to the parts of the buildings that should be sculpted. This rock is still present in an important event of the history of the brazilian arts. Pedra do Sal, a stairway sculpted in the augen gneiss Downtown, was the place that African people met in the past to tell their histories, to do religious cults and to sing. In these meetings in Pedra do Sal samba was born

AbstractStrabo's history of Judaism (Geography 16.2.35ff.), which is most probably copied from Posidonius, focuses less on the past which is idealized than on the present which is criticized—as is common in descriptions of a "golden age" which later deteriorates. The Posidonian thought that the Jewish religion declined made its way into Tacitus' mostly hostile ethnography of Judaism. Modern scholars, especially in the 19th century, when commenting on Posidonius and Tacitus sympathized from a quite different perspective with that very idea of a Jewish decline.

I am not a historian, a mere dabbler in history, but the figures of the past have always intrigued me. Psychiatry lives in the shadow of the 19th century, both in terms of its architecture and of its theories. It is not too difficult to give oneself déjà vu feelings about psychiatry, and to see its ‘progress' as a circular tour. But what of it ? In that way we revisit all sorts of old friends, provided we meet them as they really were, and not as dusty images, mouldering statues, ancient deities or foolish fond old men.

The One

In the light of monetary experience and theory, the EMS appears to be unsustainable. Monetary history of the past sixty years shows that every attempt to stabilise the international monetary System has been frustrated as a consequence of divergent egocentric monetary policies. The breakdown of the rules of the gold standard game in the twenties, as well as the use of money as an instrument in national macroeconomic policies under the Bretton Woods regime have ultimately led to the demise of the fixed exchange rates System. In the sixties, European views on monetary policies were quite divergent, but in the seventies institutional attempts were made to bring them apparently into line. The "snake" arrangements, initiated in 1972, soon degenerated. The more ambitious attempt of 1979, the institutionally more elaborate EMS, suffers from the same basic weakness as all the previous ones. It lacks a common monetary standard, such as the one proposed in the 1975 Ail-Saints Manifesto. Such a standard is a necessary and a sufficient condition for a sustainable common monetary System.

Inappropriate Secretion

Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is a disease that leads to dilute hyponatremia through excessive secretion of antidiuretic hormone. SIADH has various causes, including ectopic ADH-producing tumors, drug properties, and can be idiopathic. But there have been very few reports of cases in which SIADH has developed after surgery for malignant tumors. In addition, few cases have been reported where this disease has developed after surgery for pancreatic cancer, because the symptoms of hyponatremia are non-specific. These symptoms are particularly gastrointestinal symptoms; therefore, it is difficult to differentiate them, even if SIADH has developed after gastrointestinal surgery. The patient in our case was an 80-year-old woman. She had persistent epigastralgia and left back pain. Imaging studies revealed a tumor in the head of the pancreas, which was diagnosed as pancreatic head cancer. We performed subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy. After the operation, she complained of appetite loss and general fatigue. Her serum sodium levels decreased to 109 mEq/L on postoperative day 11. She was diagnosed with SIADH using the SIADH diagnostic criteria listed by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. We treated the patient with sodium supplementation for hyponatremia, and her symptoms ameliorated. After the event, she did not relapse with hyponatremia. This case is significant in that we performed differential diagnosis after major gastrointestinal surgery for pancreatic cancer and diagnosed SIADH at an early stage.

Insight Into

While teacher education has changed dramatically over the years, educators, policy-makers and the general public are largely unaware of the history of teacher preparation in the province. This history, beginning in the 19th century, tells the story of increasing professionalism over the years as Ontario adapted its system to meet a rising demand for elementary and secondary education. It is a story of authority over education, as teacher training under provincial direction became teacher education in universities, and as accreditation shifted to the Ontario College of Teachers. It is a story of reform, and the limits of reform, in the preparation of teachers for a diverse and changing world. By better understanding the history of teacher preparation in the past, we may gain insight into the present situation and imagine a better future for teacher education in Ontario.
