A collection of essays by a leading scholar. The work selected spans several decades, which together with three new unpublished pieces, cumulatively constitute a distinct interpretation of the Scottish Enlightenment as a whole while incorporating detailed examination of the work of David Hume and Adam Smith. There is, in addition, a substantial introduction which, alongside Berry’s personal intellectual history, provides a commentary on the development of the study of the Scottish Enlightenment from the 1960s. Each of the previously published chapters includes a postscript where Berry comments on subsequent work and his own retrospective assessment. The recurrent themes are the ideas of sociability and socialisation, the Humean science of man and Smith’s analysis of the relation between commerce and morality.

Resectable Gastric Cancer

Introduction. The effectiveness of the Asian regimen of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer in the European population remains unclear. The aim of our study was a retrospective assessment of adjuvant chemotherapy (XELOX regimen) after radical surgery (R0) on overall survival. Methods. Database of pts with resectable gastric cancer with stage >pT3 and/or pN+ and M0, who were operated (R0) at single oncological institution during 2007-2017 was reviewed. In univariate and multivariate analyzes were included demographic characteristics, type of tumor according to Lauren, stage, type of treatment and others. Results. 396 pts were identified and 286 were available for analysis.106 (37%) pts received at least one cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy. In univariate analysis, 5OS rate was 64% [95% Cl, 52-80] и 56% [95% Cl, 48-64; p=0,21] in patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and only surgical treatment. After stratifying patients depending on the regional lymph nodes metastasis, 5OS rate in pts with pN1-3 was 69% [95% CI, 57-85] vs 47% [95% CI, 39-58; p = 0,01], respectively...

The purpose of the study is to identify trends that determine the dynamics and structure of funding for the US higher education system. The subject of this study is the dynamics and structure of funding for the US higher education system. The relevance of the topic of the article lies in the substantiation of possible threats to the use of financial instruments that have passed the path of evolutionary development in America. In accordance with the purpose, a retrospective assessment of these trends has been carried out over a long period of time. To analyze the vast theoretical and statistical material on the stated problems, such methodological techniques and tools as retrospective assessment, statistical and economic analysis, comparative assessment, generalizations, and the inductive method were used. The results obtained reflect not only the stages of spatio-temporal evolution in the development of the American higher education system, but also reveal indicators that make it possible to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of this system over a century of research. The identified trends highlight the contradictory nature of funding for universities in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. On the one hand, the instruments and results of funding reflect the distinct American way of combining centralization and decentralization in the evolutionary development of a complex higher education system. On the other hand, they confirm the worldwide, ambiguous in qualitative assessment, practice of financing universities - reducing the share of government spending by increasing private investment.
