With the end of the Cold War, the political and strategic relationships that undergirded the global balance of power were shattered. The powers that held nation-states together, like the USSR, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and others largely disappeared and to fill the vacuum left by the reduction of political authority, nationalist and religious identities emerged strong. As a result, the former USSR has broken into at least thirteen new countries, mostly along historic ethnic lines, Czechoslovakia into two, Yugoslavia, violently, into five along both religious and ethnic lines. These are only the most familiar examples, as there are many more. The threat …

Advances in technology are having profound effects throughout society. This is no truer than in the way information is being stored. The primary form of information storage for at least the past millennium has been paper. Today, an ever increasing amount of information is being stored electronically. An increased demand for high-performance, low-cost information storage has been a major catalyst in increasing the popularity of hard drives. In 2002, two exabytes of original information was stored on hard drives. This is ten times the amount of all printed material in the world if it were converted to electronic files. To …
Aesop's Fables And George Eliot's Brother And Sisters Sonnets, Margaret Wolfit
Aesop's Fables And George Eliot's Brother And Sisters Sonnets, Margaret Wolfit
The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375
It is always exciting to discover something new and to come upon it unexpectedly. That was my happy experience a few years ago. I had decided to try my hand at devising a biographical programme on George Eliot and to attempt to portray her at the end of her life, reminiscing on past events. I wanted to absorb as much as I could about her, starting with her early days. What were the influences that shaped her life and writing? What books had she read as a child?
She tells us: 'I could not be satisfied with the things around …

The majority stated that they would not contract this type of marriage under any circumstances and that society as a whole …
Egypt’S Opposition Parties: A "Loyal" Opposition, Samy Asfour
Egypt’S Opposition Parties: A "Loyal" Opposition, Samy Asfour
The Undergraduate Research Journal
Opposition parties are often labeled as a loyal opposition rather than competitor, due to their inability to formulate an alternative policy to the government and create a strong popular base. These shortcomings can be traced back to the foundations of the Egyptian multi-party system. This paper attempts to examine the opposition party from another perspective and examines the oppositional New Wafd party in terms of democratic party structure and the degree of popular appeal.

Correlation Between Special Physical Testing And Soft Tissue Ultrasound Findings In Evaluation Of Shoulder Pain: Using Likehood Ratio, Shao-Li Han, Han-Shiang Ko, Yau-Wai Wai, Wai-Keung Lee
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Shoulder pain is one of the most troublesome problems evaluated in our clinic. Numerous special physical tests have been developed to localize the origin of such pain. Soft tissue ultrasound, as an ancillary procedure, offers multiple advantages in evaluation of shoulder disorders: reliability, reproducibility, no radiation exposure, and low cost. Many authors have demonstrated that a strong correlation exists between ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in detecting shoulder pathology. In the current study, we determined the correlation between clinical presentation, findings on special physical tests, and findings from soft tissue ultrasonography in evaluation of shoulder pain. In order to eliminate …

The Trapezius Reflex: A New Reflex For Bilateral Motor Control, Wei-Jang Yen, Tzy-Fang Chu, Ta-Shen Kuan, Chia-Hui Chen, Chang-Zern Hong
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Close links between the bilateral trapezii are essential for the stability and coordination of neck and shoulder movements. However, there is no direct neurophysiological evidence to support such a bilateral motor control mechanism. Our study is the first to use an electrodiagnostic method to prove the existence of this reflex. In this study, we have identified a new uniform or standardized technique, named the trapezius reflex (TR), which is able to evaluate proximal shoulder motor function. The TR is defined as an electrically elicited reflex that originates from the synchronized activation of both trapezii by electric stimulation of the accessory …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
In the rehabilitation clinic, neck and shoulder pain are mainly attributed to muscle and fascia pain. Neck and shoulder pain resulting from cervical radiculopathy, such as herniated intervertebral disk, spondylolisthesis, and neuroforamen narrowing, can be detected with nerve conduction study, electromyography, and imaging. However, no objective test is available for the diagnosis of muscle and fascia pain.Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is promising for evaluation of tendon and connective tissue structure, there are no researches for application to neck and shoulder muscle pain. We administered pain questionnaires to 27 patients with soreness of the neck, shoulder, or upper back and …

Intraspinal Tumor Associated With Hydrocephalus: A Casereport, Sheng-Hsiang Su, Kuo-Sheng Hung, Jen-Wen Hung
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Intraspinal tumor associated with hydrocephalus is a well known but uncommon phenomenon. It is difficult to diagnose accurately if clinical hydrocephalus symptoms are presented, comprising unsteady gait, urinary incontinence, dementia, headache and papilledema. The patient in this study was a 77 years old male whose main problems included impaired walking, dementia and delirium. He received V-P shunt because of brain CT disclosing communicating hydrocephalus. Patient consciousness improved following operation, but bilateral lower limb weakness became worse. Following spinal MRI examination, an intraspinal tumor at L1 level was noted. The patient underwent laminectomy and partial tumor removal, but metastatic intraspinal adenocarcinoma …

Delayed Neuropathy Due To Organophosphate Intoxication: A Casereport, Chiao-Chien Chen, Lin-Fen Hsieh
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Organophosphates (OP) are inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. OP intoxication results in an accumulation of acetylcholine. Clinical signs and symptoms of acute OP poisoning include salivation, incontinence, vomiting, muscle weakness, hypertension, palpitation, restlessness, headache, drowsiness, confusion and seizure. After the acute stage of OP intoxication some patients recover fully, but others have neurologic sequelae, including central and peripheral neuropathy. Individuals with milder cases may recover fully within several months; however, more severe cases may result in persistent sequelae.A 20-year old woman attempted suicide by drinking organophosphate pesticide in 1995. Although emergency and acute medical treatments saved her life, she developed delayed neuropathy, …
