AbstractThe European-Japanese Cerebrovascular Congress originally started as a Swiss-Japanese joint conference on cerebral aneurysm. The Congress was held in Zürich, Switzerland, from 5–7 May 2001 with Prof. Y. Yonekawa of Zürich and Prof. Y. Sakurai of Sendai as the presidents.Three years later, in July of 2004, the second meeting was held at Zürich again with wide-ranging conference topics on cerebral stroke surgery.The third meeting at Zürich in 2006 was the key congress for future development. The conference was expanded to the European-Japanese Joint Conference for Stroke Surgery.As the year of 2006 was the 70th Anniversary of the Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital Zürich, Prof. Krayenbühl, Prof. Yasargil, and Prof. Yonekawa introduced the impressive history of the Department of Neurosurgery at the conference.At the fourth European-Japanese Joint Conference on Stroke Surgery we moved from Zürich to the Nordic city of Helsinki, with Prof. Juha Hernesniemi as the conference president.The fifth joint conference was held at Düsseldolf am Rein with Prof. Hans-Jakob Steiger as the Conference president.The sixth conference, named “The European-Japanese Stroke Surgery Conference” (EJSSC), was held in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Professor Luca Regli and Prof. Gabriel Rinkel were the conference presidents.The seventh European-Japanese Stroke Surgery Conference (EJSSC) was held in Verona, Italy with the presidents Prof. Alberto Pasqualin and Prof. Giampietro Pinna.The eighth European-Japanese Cerebrovascular Congress (EJCVC) came back to Zürich in the year 2016 with Prof. Luca Regli as the president.The ninth European-Japanese Cerebrovascular Congress (EJCVC) was held in the historical room of Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda Milan, Italy, with Prof. Marco Cenzato as the president.The tenth European-Japanese Cerebrovascular Congress (EJCVC) will be held in Kyoto. It will be the first meeting of the EJCVC in Japan.Publication of the proceeding books of the conference as supplements of ACTA Neurochirurgica is one of the main reasons that we have been able to continue this conference for almost 20 years. We sincerely thank Prof. Steiger for his continuous and generous cooperation as the series Editor of ACTA Neurochirurgica.

In the third volume of E. K. Chambers' Elizabethan Stage is a short notice of Henry Cheke and his Certayne Tragedie written first in Italian, by F. N. B. entituled, Freewyl, and translated into English, by Henry Cheeke. Although Chambers, probably confused by the entry in the Stationers' Register on May 11, 1561, of a book “of Frewill,” quotes the title with John Tysdale as printer, none of the extant copies bears any mention of printer, place or date. It has been assumed in the past that the entry to Tysdale referred to Cheke's translation, but Dr. Harold Stein has pointed out to me that it must actually refer to one of a series of translations from Jean Veron issued by Tysdale at this time, the title in question reading: A most necessary treatise of free will. Cheke's book is listed under 1589 in Herbert's edition of Ames' Typographical Antiquities, but no printer is assigned and no reason given for the date except the statement that the revolt of the Netherlands is referred to in the play, whereas as a matter of fact it is the revolt of Germany from papal authority in the time of Luther. The question has been pretty well settled, however, by Mr. William A. Jackson, who has made a detailed study of the copy in the Pforzheimer collection. He writes me that the book is certainly the work of Richard Jugge and that a comparison of some of the smaller initial blocks in the Cheke volume with the same ones in Eden's translation of Peter Martyr's History of travayle in the west and east Indies, printed by Jugge in 1577, shows that the blocks are noticeably more worn and broken in the latter volume. Cheke's book was presumably printed, therefore, before that date and after 1572, since the dedicatee, Lady Cheynie of Toddington, did not acquire that title until her husband was raised to the peerage as Baron Cheynie of Toddington in 1572. I incline to a date close to the earlier year.

SummaryThe association between plasma fibrinogen, factor VII, factor X, activated partial thromboplastin time, antithrombin III and the lifestyle factors cigarette smoking, alcohol use, fat intake and physical activity was assessed in 802 men aged 70-90 years in Zutphen (The Netherlands), Montegiorgio and Crevalcore (Italy).Smoking was positively associated with fibrinogen, also after adjustment for other lifestyle factors, age, use of anticoagulants and aspirin like drugs, body mass index, and history of myocardial infarction. Alcohol use was associated with increased levels of factor X and decreased levels of antithrombin III. Fat intake was positively associated with antithrombin III. Between cohorts, considerable differences were observed in levels of haemostatic parameters and the lifestyle factors. Compared to the mediterranean cohorts the Zutphen cohort showed the highest levels of fibrinogen and factor VII. Differences in lifestyle factors could, however, not explain differences between cohorts in levels of any of the haemostatic parameters, despite the observed associations between lifestyle factors and haemostatic parameters.

Which kind of relation exists between a stone, a cloud, a dog, and a human? Is nature made of distinct domains and layers or does it form a vast unity from which all beings emerge? Refusing at once a reductionist, physicalist approach as well as a vitalistic one, Whitehead affirms that « everything is a society » This chapter consequently questions the status of different domains which together compose nature by employing the concept of society. The first part traces the history of this notion notably with reference to the two thinkers fundamental to Whitehead: Leibniz and Locke; the second part defines the temporal and spatial relations of societies; and the third explores the differences between physical, biological, and psychical forms of existence as well as their respective ways of relating to environments. The chapter thus tackles the status of nature and its domains.

Euston Films was the first film subsidiary of a British television company that sought to film entirely on location. To understand how the ‘televisual imagination’ changed and developed in relationship to the parent institution's (Thames Television) economic and strategic needs after the transatlantic success of its predecessor, ABC Television, it is necessary to consider how the use of film in television drama was regarded by those working at Euston Films. The sources of realism and development of generic verisimilitude found in the British adventure series of the early 1970s were not confined to television, and these very diverse sources both outside and inside television are well worth exploring. Thames Television, which was formed in 1968, did not adopt the slickly produced adventure series style of ABC's The Avengers, for example. Instead, Thames emphasised its other ABC inheritance – naturalistic drama in the form of the studio-based Armchair Theatre – and was to give the adventure series a strong London lowlife flavour. Its film subsidiary, Euston Films, would produce ‘gritty’ programmes such as the third and fourth series of Special Branch. Amid the continuities and tensions between ABC and Thames, it is possible to discern how economic and technological changes were used as a cultural discourse of value that marks the production of Special Branch as a key transformative moment in the history of British television.

The paper explores the displace of Polish archives from the Soviet Union that was performed in 1920s according to the Riga Peace Treaty of 1921 and other international agreements. The aim of the research is to reconstruct the process of displace, based on the archival sources and literature. The object of the research is those documents that were preserved in the archives of Belarus and together with archives from other republics were displaced to Poland. The exploration leads to clarification of the selection of document fonds to be displaced, the actual process of movement and the explanation of the role that the archivists of Belarus performed in the history of cultural relationships between Poland and the Soviet Union. The articles of the Treaty of Riga had been formulated without taking into account the indivisibility of archive fonds that is one of the most important principles of restitution, which caused the failure of the treaty by the Soviet part.
