In this paper the author gives an account of certain tubular and vesicular bodies which he has discovered in the spermatic cord, and which he considers to be the remains of the Wolffian body of the embryo. The structures in question, which he proposes to designate collectively by the term “Corps Innominé,” form a small group situated behind the tunica vaginalis, between that membrane and the spermatic vessels, and extending usually from the head of the epididymis as high as the point where the membrane is reflected forwards from the cord; sometimes, however, reaching much higher up, or, on the other hand, being more concentrated in the neighbourhood of the epididymis.

Vasitis or inflammation of the vas deferens is a rarely describedcondition categorized by Chan & Schlegel1 as either generallyasymptomatic vasitis nodosa or the acutely painful infectious vasitis.Clinically, infectious vasitis presents with nonspecific symptomsof localized pain and swelling that can be confused with other,more common conditions such as epididymitis, orchitis, testiculartorsion, and inguinal hernia. Ultrasound with duplex Doppler scanningcan be used to exclude epididymitis, orchitis, and testiculartorsion. On the other hand, while inguinal hernia is difficult todifferentiate from vasitis using ultrasound, computed tomography(CT) is diagnostic. We describe 2 cases of vasitis with clinicaland ultrasound findings that initially were interpreted as inguinalhernias. In both patients, CT was diagnostic for vasitis showing anedematous spermatic cord and no hernia. Urine cultures in bothpatients were negative, but the symptoms resolved with antibiotictreatment.

This article focuses on Russian youth argots denoting teachers and lecturers, pupils and students. The research material has been excerpted from the Great Dictionary of Russian Jargon (Большой словарь русского жаргона). The analyzed corpus includes expressions denoting teachers in general and teachers of separate subjects too. Argots describing pupils mainly refer to conscientious and exemplary pupils whereas expressions defining students reflect young people's interests. The research revealed that the most productive way of creating argots belonging to the analyzed lexical and semantic group is semantic derivation. On the other hand, a group of suffix derivatives, which is dominated by substantival structures, is characterized by slightly lower frequency. Subject alternation and mutilation appeared to be hardly productive word formative procedures that are used to create expressions denoting teachers and pupils. English word borrowings constitute a small group as well.

There is some evidence that liberal politicians use more complex language than conservative politicians. This evidence, however, is based on a specific set of speeches of US Congress members and UK members of Parliament. This raises the question whether the relationship between ideology and linguistic complexity is a more general phenomenon or specific to this small group of politicians. To address this question, this paper analyzes 381,609 speeches from five parliaments, from twelve European prime ministers, and from party congresses across time and across countries. Our results replicate and generalize these earlier findings: speakers from culturally liberal parties use more complex language than speakers from culturally conservative parties. Economic left-right differences, on the other hand, are not systematically linked to linguistic complexity.

Anatomical conditions play an important role in the results of any operation, including herniotomy. On the other hand, however, we see that whatever these conditions may be, the imperfection of some methods, e.g., the same Bascini method, remains unchanged. The frequent complaints of operated patients about heaviness in the groin, pain in the testicular and spermatic cord after operations performed lege artis according to this method convince us of this. All this prompts us to turn surgeons' attention to the method of inguinal hernia surgery, once proposed by the late Prof. I.A. Praxin, a method based on the idea of meeting all the requirements of anatomy and physiology, imitating nature itself in detail.

I WISH to call attention to a physical sign, hitherto unremarked as far as I am aware, which is often useful in the preeruptive diagnosis of roseola infantum. It has been my observation that early in the course of roseola, there develops a characteristics facies brought about by the presence of palpebral edema. As a matter of fact, it is often sufficiently evident to evoke comment from the parents, who will describe the child as having "heavy eyelids," or a "droopy" or "sleepy" appearance. This facies makes itself evident early in the course of the disease, sometimes on the first day, rarely later than the third. It is unrelated to the degree of temperature elevation. It is unaccompanied by conjunctivitis, tearing or other evidence of ocular pathology. Periorbital edema is absent; the swelling is confined to the eyelids themselves. In most instances it disappears about 24 hours after the appearance of the rash. One rarely will see a child with roseola who does not display this characteristic appearance. On the other hand, there is a small group of children, representing about 10% of instances, where unexplained palpebral edema occurs without evidence of roseola infantum. Most of these latter instances occur in the summer months. The accompanying photographs of patients with roseola infantum illustrate this appearance (Fig. 1).

This debate seeks to discuss how neoliberal ideas influenced the educational policy of the State of Paraná (2015-2018), focusing on Higher Education, given the reforms and attempts to privatize state universities in Paraná. For this analysis, the bibliographical and documentary research will be used, favoring the reflection on the influence of the international organisms in the Brazilian education. The assumption is that educational policies at this level of education involve different actors, interests and priorities. Thus, the policies, which should be State, are, on the other hand, be government, marked by the yearnings of a small group strongly influenced by the neoliberal ideology and with a focus on the market.

Icelandic has a number of anticausative/inchoative verbs suffixed with -na,i.e., verbs like batna, hitna,stirðna ‘become better/warm(er)/stiff(er)’. They are, from a synchronic point of view, all related to adjectives. It has been generally assumed that the na-formation and -st formation do not combine, in other words, that na-verbs can’t be suffixed with -st (sofnast being an exception). This is mainly based on the assumption that -na is a productive suffix forming an agentless verb. The paper concludes that this is not the case. The assumption is that -na is not a suffix any longer. Many examples of st-cliticized na-verbsare found in Icelandic, e.g. batnast, hitnast, stirðnast. They are found in written Icelandic sources, both in the oldest as well as in very young sources of a different kind. For comparison, the behaviour of two verbal groups are discussed in the paper. On the one hand, there are -k(k)a/-ga-verbs suffixed with -st, having an anticausative/ergative meaning, i.e. fjölgast ‘increase’, stækkast ‘become big(ger)’. Numerous verbs belong to this group. On the other hand, there is a very small group of verbs, i.e. batast ‘become better’, hitast ‘become warm(er)’, meyrast ‘become tender’; these verbs, that have the same root as the na-verbs, are used in an anticausative/ergative meaning and have a causative counterpart as well.

Kristoffer Schmidt: Christian V’s par force hunt in 17th century’s newspapersThe year 2020 marks the 350th anniversary of the foundation by Christian V of the par force hunt (also known as chasse à courre) in Denmark. This type of hunting was a spec-tacular sight, where riders and a pack of hunting dogs, imported from England, would hunt a selected animal (often a stag) through large, artificially adapted hunting areas such as the open landscapes at Jægersborg Dyrehave or the geometrically shaped hunt-ing routes at Gribskov or Store Dyrehave. After a pursuit lasting usually several hours the animal would collapse from fatigue. The king would then finish off the exhausted beast with a hirschfænger – a large dagger – or a spear. Studies of the royal hunt tend to depict the Danish stag hunt as primarily a means for absolute rulers to showcase a symbolic power. It enabled the absolute ruler to exhibit athletic strength, exemplary riding skills and extreme courage, and thus to paint the picture of a heroic ruler.Although participation in these hunts was limited to a small group of royal hunts-men, court members and foreign guests (for example, ambassadors and royalty), news of the king’s hunting adventures were conveyed through contemporaneous, partly state-controlled newspapers such as Anders Bording’s Den Danske Mercurius and Ahasver-us Bartholin’s Mercurius.This article examines how the royal hunt – primarily the stag hunt – was covered in Den Danske Mercurius and later Mercurius. It reveals that reports on the stag hunt seem to have two main purposes. On the one hand, the newspaper reports underscore the assess-ment of the royal hunts as a symbolic manifestation of power, combining a description of the hunting skills of Christian V with a more general depiction of him as the hero-king. On the other hand, the reports also reveal a need of the Danish-Norwegian absolutist regime to justify the King’s numerous hunting adventures. In several instances Bording, in particular, pointed to the fact that the hunt was considered a pastime for the King and the court. Therefore, Bording and Bartholin stressed that this type of pastime did not interfere with the King’s other, more important duties, such as affairs of state. In other words, the picture of the athletic hero-king did not carry more weight than the image of the King as a capable and efficient ruler. Thus, it appears that the stag hunt, despite its public grandeur, also had a recreational and more private purpose, and that Christian V withdrew from his more formal duties to go hunting.

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.

We have become accustomed to differentiating between the scanning microscope and the conventional transmission microscope according to the resolving power which the two instruments offer. The conventional microscope is capable of a point resolution of a few angstroms and line resolutions of periodic objects of about 1Å. On the other hand, the scanning microscope, in its normal form, is not ordinarily capable of a point resolution better than 100Å. Upon examining reasons for the 100Å limitation, it becomes clear that this is based more on tradition than reason, and in particular, it is a condition imposed upon the microscope by adherence to thermal sources of electrons.
