Chechnya Still Boiling - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

In September 1999, Russia''s then-Premier Vladimir Putin ordered military, police, and security forces to enter the breakaway Chechnya region, resulting in these forces occupying the region by early 2000. The conflict has resulted in thousands of military and civilian casualties and the massive destruction of housing and infrastructure. This book looks at Chechnya and Putin''s rise to power and continuing popularity which have been tied at least partly to his perceived ability to prosecute this conflict successfully. In the run-up to Russian legislative elections in December 2003 and a presidential election in March 2004, Putin endeavoured to demonstrate that peace had returned to the region. After Chechen terrorists held hundreds of Moscow theatre-goers hostage in late 2002, the Putin administration appeared unequivocally opposed to talks with the rebels and more dedicated to establishing a pro-Moscow government in Chechnya. This pro-Moscow government has used its own forces to battle the remaining rebels, ostensibly permitting the disengagement and withdrawal of most Russian troops from the region. This "Chechenization" of the conflict, along with related pacification efforts, has constituted the main elements of the Russian government''s campaign to wind down the fighting. The pacification efforts discussed in this book have also aimed to gain the support or acquiescence of the population to federal control and have included rebuilding assistance and elections. However, the assassination of a pro-Moscow Chechen leader in May 2004, the attack on a school in the town of Beslan, Russia in September 2004 by Chechen terrorists, and widening of conflict to other areas of Russia''s North Caucasus have raised questions about whether Chechenization and pacification are succeeding.

Judicial Nomination Statistics - Denis Steven Rutkus - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book presents statistics regarding procedural actions taken on US district and circuit court nominations for the period January 4, 1977 through 2002. Among other things, the statistics for the 1977-2002 period show: Over the course of five successive presidencies, the senate confirmation percentage for circuit court nominations has declined. The great majority of each President''s nominations have either been confirmed or returned. An average of seven nominations per President have been withdrawn. One nomination has been disapproved by a senate vote. The confirmation percentage for district and circuit court nominations combined was greater than 60% for every congressional session from 1977 through 1990, whereas the district and circuit combined confirmation rate has been less than 60% for eight of the last 12 congressional session. The average number of days elapsing between nominations date and final action has been higher for most Congresses in the post-1990 period than for prior Congresses. Starting with the 100th Congress (1987-1988), and in five of the seven Congresses since, an average of more than 100 days has elapsed between nomination dates and committee votes on either district or circuit court nominations, or on both. For almost every Congress in the post-1990 period, the percentages of district and circuit court nominations left pending at the end of the congress were higher than corresponding percentages for the pre-1990 Congresses. The Senate returned substantially more nominations during the 102nd, 106th, and 107th Congresses than during any other Congresses in the 1977-2002 period. The average number of days between nomination date and final action increased in Congresses ending in presidential election years. The vast majority of judicial nominations submitted during the 1977-2002 period received committee hearings and votes, as well as full Senate votes. However, during the 102nd, 106th, and 107th Congresses, there were reductions in the share of nominations receiving committee and Senate action.

Systemic & Metabolic Changes Observed in Alcohol Dependent Male Patients After Alcohol Withdrawal - Maria Klopocka - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc

Systemic & Metabolic Changes Observed in Alcohol Dependent Male Patients After Alcohol Withdrawal - Maria Klopocka - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc

Alcohol abuse is associated with psycho-somatic health and social problems. It leads to multi-organ, especially cardiovascular system, alimentary tract, liver, pancreas and immunologic system dysfunction. Therefore withdrawal and anti-relapse therapy should be undoubtedly undertaken in every case. Nevertheless our knowledge about alcohol withdrawal consequences is insufficient. The main purpose of the authors'' investigation was to determine the metabolic, endocrine, haemostatic and immunologic changes during six-month long abstinence period. They studied the abstinence effect on exercise capacity and autonomic nervous system activity estimated by heart rate variability analysis. Their research concerned also changes in upper digestive tract macroscopic and microscopic appearance and its motility, liver function, pro- anti- oxidative balance parameters level, cytokine TNF- alpha and nitric oxide (NO) metabolites plasma concentration. The authors estimated inter-relationships between studied parameters, what seems to be very important in complete analysis. Within six-months long abstinence period pro-atherogenic metabolic changes expressed by decreased HDL and increased LDL- cholesterol plasma concentration occurred. These unfavourable changes were less expressed in patients treated with naltrexone. In the early abstinence period indirect markers of platelets activation were determined. The highest level of fibrinogen, thrombomodulin, antithrombin, markers of trombinogenesis activation in vivo (thrombin- antithrombin, TAT complexes), tissue type plasminogen activator antigen (t-PA:Ag), antigen of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1:Ag), markers of fibrinolysis activation in vivo, such as D-dimers, plasmin- alpha2- antiplasmin (PAP) complexes was also observed. Mentioned changes were expressed in patients with determinable TNF-alpha plasma level. Abstinence improved effort capacity, positively changed autonomic nervous system activity via vagal nerve influence on heart rate variability. The last finding was also affected by TNF-alpha level. No significant changes appeared in alimentary tract function, estimated by esophageal and gastric pH-metry, esophageal manometry and abdominal ultrasonography, whereas some changes were observed in endoscopic examinations and influence of patients mental status on investigated parameters became noticeable. Favourable effect on liver function tests was affected by pituitary-thyroid and pituitary-gonadal axes hormones, cytokine TNF-alpha, nutrition status, Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric acidity. Some of studied parameters, such as mean platelets volume and nitric oxide metabolites plasma level may be used as new, valuable markers of alcohol abuse. Alcohol withdrawal and early abstinence is a dynamic period with potentially harmful health consequences, especially in cardiovascular system. This suggests the need of multicentre studies to estimate clinical importance of found changes and cost- benefits analysis of selected interventions.
