A complete family history as to the past seizures experienced by the patient or by members of his family may be revealing and helpful in establishing a diagnosis of abdominal epilepsy. In our study 19 of the 46 children revealed a past history of seizure state and 25 had experienced febrile seizures in infancy. Detailed consideration of the type of pain, its site, and allied symptoms should be evaluated carefully. Disorientation during an episode of pain followed by exhaustion and sleep is suggestive of abdominal epilepsy. Electroencephalography is usually helpful in supporting the clinical diagnosis of abdominal epilepsy. Discussion with the child and his parents, when practical and possible, in regard to the diagnosis and therapy, is recommended. Clarification and definition of the regimen and of the condition are essential, as the term "epilepsy" still carries a stigma to the lay person. Consideration of the patient and parental feelings and attitudes leads to understanding, co-operation, and ultimate success in the control of symptoms.

History is increasingly recognized as a distinctive source of competitive advantage for family businesses. Taking a rhetorical history perspective, we study how a family business leveraged the family’s three generations long history of entrepreneurship to sustain profitable growth over 16 years. Through our analysis, we identify three history scripting strategies—embedding, elaborating, and building family history—that created important sources of competitive advantage for the family business, facilitating acceptance by broader communities, building a reputation of continuity, and inspiring innovation through tradition. These findings advance the history-informed understanding of family firms’ idiosyncratic sources of superior performance.

This review provides information on the definition of febrile seizures in children, presents modern data on the dependence of the genetic predisposition to IL-Ιβ gene mutations and development of febrile seizures in children. Purpose of the review is analysis of available publications devoted to the study of the role of IL-Ιβ polymorphism in the development of febrile seizures in children. The literature search included available full-text publications in Russian and English databases. It was found that febrile seizures are characteristic for children from 6 months to 3 years. The causes of seizures still serve as a subject of debate. Family history of febrile seizures in the development is most important risk factor. Positive family history can be detected in 25-40% of patients. Components of the immune response may play a role in the pathogenesis of febrile seizures. One factor is a pro-inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphism of interleukin-ΐβ (IL-Ιβ). The analysis of the literature demonstrates the need for a detailed study of the genetic causes of febrile seizures in children, especially in patients with a positive family history.

History Of Depression

Sixty-six alcoholic men who had been abstinent from alcohol for at least four weeks were assessed clinically and then investigated in terms of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and prolactin responses to a Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH) challenge. Consistent with other studies, a third of the subjects had a blunted TSH response to TRH. This blunted response was not associated with a family history of alcoholism, or current depressive symptoms, past history of depression or family history of depression. However, subjects with a blunted TSH response were more likely to have had an earlier onset of alcoholism and to have had shorter alcoholic remissions in the past.

Definition Of

This paper presents a methodological approach to the study of Greek religion of the period which lacks written documents, i.e. prehistory. The assumptions and interpretations of religion of that time have to be based on archaeological material. How do we define religion and cultic activity on the basis of primary archaeological material from this period, and which are the methodological tools for this difficult task? By asking questions on the nature and definition of religion and culture scholars of religion have provided us with some methodological apparatus to approach religion of the past in general, but there are models developed by archaeologists as well. Critical combination of these methodological tools leads to the best possible result. Archaeology studies the material culture of the past. History of religion studies the spiritual culture of the past. In the background the two have important theoretical and even philosophical speculations since they both deal with meanings (of things or practices) and with interpretation.

SummaryA case of haemophilia in a young white girl is described. There was a history of bleeding from birth. The thromboplastin generation test was grossly abnormal and A. H. G. levels were below 1%. Bleeding time and capillary morphology was within normal limits. Dental extraction after transfusion caused almost uncontrollable haemorrhage.A complete family history was obtained for four generations. There was no case of a “bleeder” amongst these.The girl’s apparent sex was confirmed by sex chromatin studies.

George Poulett Scrope. It is scarcely possible at the present day to realize the conditions of that intellectual “reign of terror” which prevailed at the commencement of the present century, as the consequence of the unreasoning prejudice and wild alarm excited by the early progress of geological inquiry. At that period, every attempt to explain the past history of the earth by a reference to the causes still in operation upon it was met, not by argument, but by charges of atheism against its propounder; and thus Hutton’s masterly fragment of a ‘Theory of the Earth,’ Playfair’s persuasive‘ Illustrations,’ and Hall’s records of accurate observation and ingenious experiment had come to be inscribed m a social Index Expurgatorius ,and for a while, indeed, might have seemed to be consigned to total oblivion. Equally injurious suspicions were aroused against the geologist who dared to make allusion to the important part which igneous forces have undoubtedly played in the formation of certain rocks; for the authority of Werner had acquired an almost sacred cha­racter; and “ Vulcanists ” and “ Huttonians ” were equally objects of aversion and contempt. To two men who have very recently—and within a few months of one another—passed away from our midst, science is indebted for boldly en­countering and successfully overcoming this storm of prejudice. Hutton and his friends lived a generation too soon ; and thus it was reserved tor Lyell and Scrope to carry out the task which the great Scotch philosopher had failed to accomplish, namely, the removal of geology from the domain of speculation to that of inductive science.

<div><p><em>Surakarta is a city that has the potential of the river. But in the process, these rivers suffered environmental degradation as a function instead of the banks into slums and squatter, and functions of rivers that serve as places of waste disposal. Government’s city of Surakarta has done various setup area of the river. One of the targeted structuring Pepe-River is often known by the name Kali Pepe. Kali Pepe is the river which has the most strategic location because it divides the centre of city and the river has a past history of Surakarta. Kali Pepe is the witness of history where culture and trade activities in the rapidly growing city of Surakarta in the past with the ecological function and physical function as transportation trade.Setuping Kali Pepe, according to the Mayor of Surakarta, is directed to serve as recreation/tourism area. Since the Surakarta Mayor initiated the year 2015 that Kali Pepe as a tourist area. The initiated moves the government and society in order to more actively participate in developing the area into a tourist area. This research would like to know how the readiness level of the Kali Pepe area to be developed as a tourist area-based streams. The components of preparedness were seen from aspect of attractions or natural tourist attraction, artificial attractions, acessesiblity, institutional, infrastructure supporting tourism, and the behavior of the flooding of the river. This research is quantitative research in methods of scoring analysis. The result of this research has shown that Kali Pepe less readiness to be developed as a tourist area-based stream. Aspects of accessibility and infrastructure supporting tourism were an aspect which has a readiness. But for this aspect of the attraction, institutional and river flooding behavior is still in the stage of less readiness.</em></p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> readiness, tourist areas, river tours</em></p></div>

Although Ukrainian emigration to North America is not a new phenomenon, the dilemmas of memory and amnesia remain crucial in Ukrainian-American émigré fiction. The paper focuses on selected novels by Askold Melnyczuk (What is Told and Ambassador of the Dead) and analyzes how traumatic memories and family stories of the past shape the American lives of Ukrainian emigrants. The discussion of the selected Ukrainian-American émigré novels focuses on the dilemmas of remembering and forgetting in the construction of both Ukrainian and American narratives of the past. The voluntary amnesia of the Ame- rican-born Ukrainians in Melnyczuk’s novels confronts their parents’ dependence on the past and their inability to abandon it emotionally. Memories of ‘the old country’ make them, similarly to Ada Kruk, ambassadors of the dead. The expression becomes a metaphoric definition of those wrapped by their repressed, fragmentary and sometimes inaccessible memories. Crucial events of European history of the 20th century are inscribed and personalized in the older generation’s stories which their children are reluctant to hear. For them, their parents’ memories became a burden and a shame. Using the concept of transgenerational memory, the paper explores the challenges of postmemory, and eventually its failure.
