This special issue of Nordicum-Mediterraneum contains the proceedings from the first meeting of the third NSU study group called “Crisis and Crisis Scenarios: Normativity, Possibilities and Dilemmas”, held March 14-16 2014 at the Lysebu Conference Centre in Oslo, Norway, and with a research program running from 2014 to 2016 aimed at examining the concept of Crisis as it is used today in academia. In this collection of papers from the symposium we present some of the different ways in which the topic of the study group was addressed.

This special issue of Nordicum-Mediterraneum contains select proceedings from the third meeting of the Nordic Summer University research circle called “Crisis and Crisis Scenarios: Normativity, Possibilities and Dilemmas”, held April 9th — 12th, 2015 at the Lysebu Conference Centre in Oslo, Norway. The circle’s research program runs from 2014 to 2016 and is aimed at examining the concept of crisis as it is used today in academia and public discussion. In this collection of papers from the symposium we present some of the different ways in which the topic of the study group was addressed.

AbstractThe first part of our text analyzes Dilthey’s seminal lecture and essay Archives of Literature in the context of his endeavors to form a philosophically founded empirical research program for the humanities. The second part describes the structure, aims, history, and activities of the Berliner Literatur-Archiv-Gesellschaft (LAG, 1891–1944) which was founded following Diltheyʼs essay. The third part compares the LAG with contemporary archives and archival endeavors by libraries and private collectors.

This essay is a comment on the research program launched by Frank Adloff and Sighard Neckel. My comment is specifically focused on their research agenda as outlined in their trend-setting article, ‘Futures of sustainability as modernization, transformation, and control: A conceptual framework’. The comment is also addressed more generally to the research program of the Humanities Centre for Advanced Studies ‘Futures of Sustainability’. I raise three issues: the first relates to the very idea of the future; the second concerns the notion of social imaginaries and the third question is focused on the idea of social transformation.

Relevance. Recurrent myocardial infarction and early postinfarction angina negatively effects on the prognosis of myocardial infarction. Aim. To evaluate myocardial infarction sodium, potassium, chlorides, calcium metabolism, features in men under 60 years old with recurrent myocardial infarction and early postinfarction angina to improve prevention and outcomes. Material and methods. The study included men aged 19-60 years old with type I myocardial infarction. Patients are divided into two age-comparable groups: I - the study group, with recurrent myocardial infarction - 110 patients; II - control, without it - 555 patients. A comparative analysis of blood serum electrolyte levels, their dynamics from the first hours to the end of the third week of myocardial infarction in the selected groups were performed. Their impact on the risk of recurrent ischemia and unfavorable outcome was assessed. Results. In the study group, in the first hours of the disease, the levels of chloride were higher (103.7±5.5 and 101.7±4.7 (mmol/l); p=0.002), and total calcium at the end of the third week of myocardial infarction (2.3±0.2 mmol/l) - lower than in the control (2.46±0.16; p=0.001). With an unfavorable outcome in the study group, the sodium level was lower in the first hours of the disease (138.7±4.9 and 142.7±6.6 (mmol/l); p=0.049). Moreover, the risk of its development was associated with sodium levels ≥148.0 mmol/l (absolute risk: 100.0%; relative - 13.8; p<0.0001) and potassium levels ≥5.3 mmol/l (absolute: 71,4%; relative - 12.4; p<0.0001). The risk of developing recurrent episodes of ischemia in the examined increased at chloride levels ≥104.7 mmol/l (absolute: 28.4%; relative: 3.1; p=0.0001) and sodium ≥139.0 mmol/l (absolute: 19.5%; relative: 1.7; p=0.03) in the first hours of myocardial infarction and calcium (<2.4 mmol/l) at the end of the third week of the disease (absolute: 31.0%; relative: 4.9; p=0.003). Conclusions. The listed combinations of levels of basic electrolytes in blood serum are markers of recurrence of ischemia in myocardial infarction and poor outcome. They should be used to identify risk groups with the necessary preventive measures and for predictive modeling.

As the contributions to this two-part special issue demonstrate, Spanish and Latin American criminal theory has attained a remarkable degree of sophistication. Regrettably, Anglo-American scholars have had limited access to this rich body of literature. With this volume, the New Criminal Law Review has taken a very important first step toward rectifying this situation. Although the articles written for this special issue cover a vast range of subjects, they can be divided into four main categories: (1) the legitimacy of the criminal sanction, (2) the punishability of omissions, (3) the challenges that international criminal law and the fight against terrorism pose to criminal theory, and (4) the theory of justification and excuse. The articles pertaining to the first two categories will appear in the first half of this special issue (Volume 11, Number 3) and the pieces belonging to the third and fourth categories will be published in the upcoming second half (Volume 11, Number 4). In accordance with this general structure, in the pages that follow I will provide a brief summary and critique of the pieces contained in both parts.
