In France the first peritoneal dialysis was performed in the mid-1940s. For a long time reserved for frail subjects in whom hemodialysis appeared more dangerous, it is considered nowadays as a technique equivalent to hemodialysis, provided its indications and contraindications are respected and associated with the respect of the patient’s free choice after objective information. In particular, there is now a consensus to recognize its interest in patients waiting for transplantation, usually in order to preserve vascular access. Over the past decades French teams have played their role nationally and internationally, very often in partnership with their European neighbors, to improve the results achieved and to improve the different modalities. Since the end of the 1980s, the evaluation of practices has been made possible thanks to the participation in a specialized peritoneal dialysis registry.This article is a general review, not exhaustive, of the role played by the main French teams who succeeded one another.

This chapter addresses three interconnected topics, beginning with a short overview of the archaeology of children and childhood in Italy, explaining how and why the Italian contribution to the topic has been very recent. The chapter then moves on to explore the relationship between modern children, Italian scholars of ancient history of art and archaeology, and museums; it notes that for a very long time Italian universities and museums have not been interested in developing didactic archaeology at all, especially when the spectators were children, whether of pre-school or older age. Finally, returning to children in the past, two noteworthy case studies of the presentation of ancient children at exhibitions are illustrated as an interesting point of convergence between current archaeological studies in Italy on childhood in the ancient world, and the newly generated need to communicate to the general public the result of research works.

Abstract The article provides a concise overview of the origins of modern environmental law in Europe based on general historical studies or the legal studies dealing with the history of environmental law in particular European regions or countries. It presents historical development of the two fundamental branches of environmental law, namely nature conservation and pollution control, first at the medieval times and then as a consequence of Industrial Revolution. The article presents the legal instruments and concepts invented in the past in the light of the instruments and concepts used in the current European legislation. In this context it attempts to show that some of the contemporary concepts and many of currently used legal instruments of environmental policy are not the modern invention and have the roots in some older concepts and instruments invented already long time ago in some national legislations in Europe. In conclusion the article claims that while the global challenges brought about by the climate change require politicians to seek a new, more comprehensive, approach to environmental policy and law – some lessons learned from the past experience may be useful.

Bogor city is geographically located between mount Gede and mount Salak. High rainfall, the marginal land traversed by the Ci Sadane river and the Ci Liwung river have long been the locations of human activity. Starting from the classical Hindu period (Kerajaan Pakuan Padjadjaran), the colonial period (Dutch and English), and Japan became the destinations of the kingdom’s officials as a Government. The cool air with natural panorama that became the inspiration for the birth of a large garden, called Netherlands Plantentuin te Buitenzorg (Bogor Botanical Garden) with various facilities in the period 18-19 AD century visiting people at home and abroad. How the history of botanical garden and its facilities in the past and presents the questions discussed in this paper. To meet the needs of the data needed to use the method of library study and observation of physical data in field about the building both the environment. The results of the analysis from the two sources show that Bogor Botanical Gardens is still working as a research site for plants and a resting place for state officials for a long time. In addition, the botanical garden is now also used as a city lung and recreation area.

Four patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for uremia developed acute pancreatitis (AP) over a 10-month period. No patient in the comparatively large hemodialysis population developed AP in the past 10 years. Diagnosis of AP was confirmed by the temporal change in the serum amylase levels and/or by radiographic imaging. Peritonitis was excluded by normal peritoneal fluid WBC counts and bacterial culture. Two patients developed tea-colored peritoneal fluid after the onset of the disease. Two patients required discontinuation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) to manage, their symptoms. Total corrected serum calcium was elevated in all four patients. All patients had complicated peritonitis histories. No patient was ingesting any known pancreatic toxin including alcohol and no patient had cholelithiasis or hepatitis. A literature review reveals 24 other cases of AP in CAPD patients. Of the cases described in detail, only two did not have peritonitis. AP is an entity which is more common in the CAPD population than previously recognized. Although no etiologic associations have been firmly established, hypercalcemia and a previous history of peritonitis may be important.

Each of the general elections that took place between 1885 and 1910 was significant in the history of the party, but that of 1895 had an interest peculiar to itself, setting it apart from the others in the series. It was not an election which brought about any major change in the relative strength of the various parties; it was not even notable for the number of seats to be contested. Nor was it fought upon any major issue of policy, since it was obvious to all but the most optimistic that home rule was not—and for a long time was not likely to be—a matter of practical politics; even the question of whether or not to continue the liberal alliance—a question hotly debated ever since Lord Rosebery's unpromising reference to home rule in March 1894—seemed largely academic in view of the probability of a unionist victory in Great Britain. For the Irish party—or, to speak more precisely, for the anti-Parnellites—the importance of the election of 1895 lay in quite a different direction; it lay in the fact that as a result of this campaign the methods whereby in the past the party had controlled the conduct of the elections over a large part of Ireland were deeply and permanently discredited, and the party itself confronted with a very serious crisis. It is the purpose of this paper to trace the development of that crisis, but before proceeding to consider it in detail, it will be necessary to describe very briefly the way in which this control over the elections was exercised.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> For a long time people have been interested in the past and history and how we can go back in time using a time machine. And while we cannot invent a time machine, at least not yet, we can create a virtual one. Our “virtual” time machine is an interactive web application that allows users to browse through and navigate within historical images (aerial/terrestrial photographs or postcards) that are projected on a 3D photogrammetric model (point cloud or 3D mesh), thus going back in time and interacting with historical 3D models and images. This was achieved by adopting a semiautomatic approach where the user identifies first 6 to 8 hints on the historical image and the photogrammetric model, then this information is used as an entry data to a photogrammetric software that computes the pose and orientation of the image. The purpose of this work, which is part of the ALEGORIA project, is to preserve cultural heritage, to give the users the opportunity to go back in time and study history of a place or simply discover how their hometown looked some years ago.</p>

Psychology as a branch of science could not take its place in the world for a long time. This fact says about a huge omission of a mass of intelligence by a human. However, the time overtook its own, and psychology became more significant for people and the economy in general. Being a science that would not exist without a human, it is impossible to omit its influence in it. Therefore, the main goal of this work is to consider the influence of behavioral mechanisms on decision-making by economic agents and, as a result, on economic growth. The theoretical part is closely interconnected with the practical part. This explains why the article does not have a clear separation between the two ones. Openings within the frame of behavioral economics embrace both the present and the past, which are aimed at showing both the fundamental nature of this knowledge and its undisputable relevance. These factors together represent a brief history of the development of this branch of knowledge. Through the prism of the main achievements of scientists of different years in the sphere of behavioral economics the irrational behavior of consumers was analyzed. This behavior was reflected in the examples, which showed simultaneously both: the main flaws of the classical macroeconomic models, and the importance of considering behavioral economics when analyzing aggregate demand and aggregate supply.

The article covers a new scientific branch — the science of geoglyphics, which studies space-eye view (1,000 and over km from the surface of the earth) of ancient inscriptions, images, symbols and traces of ancient settlements. The author provides a brief description of the history ofgeoglyph studies, geoglyph types, interpretations of a geoglyph, and makes seven conclusions concerning the signification ofgeoglyphs for research into the history of different ethnic groups. The author defines a geoglyph as at least a 4-metre all-angle image or inscription on the surface of the Earth. Throughout the 20th century it was the Nazca Lines in Peru were the only scientifically acclaimed geogplyphs. However, there seems to be noplace on the planet that could not boast a geoglyph of its own. Despite the fact that for a long time Russian researchers have abstained from studying geoglyphs, at present Russian science has produced interesting reports, for example byAleksei Loktev. However, pessimistic views are also voiced, for example, Oleg Utkin claims that the topic receives undeservedly little attention. Men of art also resort to creating geoglyphs of nonexistent objects such as, for example, the fictitious land ofAtlaropa (also referred to as Panropa). Private collections of the geoglyphs of the past century are being created as well.

De geschiedenis van de Vlaamse beweging wekt sinds lang de belangstelling van de Vlaamse vorsers. Tegelijk heeft de theorievorming rond nationalisme zich tijdens de laatste jaren volledig vernieuwd. De Gentse historicus Maarten van Ginderachter combineert in Le chant du coq zijn twee interessesferen en stelt een bijtend essay voor over de geschiedenis van de Waalse beweging. Het betreft een boeiende herlezing van de meest recente werken die aan de beweging gewijd werden, in het bijzonder L’Encyclopédie du Mouvement wallon. Zijn doel is aan te tonen dat, in weerwil van de steeds herhaalde visie, de beweging eveneens een etnisch discours gebruikt. Bijgevolg is de tegenstelling tussen een 'etnische' Vlaamse beweging en een 'civiele' Waalse beweging eerder een geloofszaak die niet bestand is tegen een wetenschappelijke analyse. De vraagstelling verdient een verder uitdieping. Om de staat van de geschiedschrijving van de Waalse beweging te begrijpen, is het essentieel de omstandigheden van de productie te bekijken net als de verhouding, in Wallonië, tussen de politieke macht en de academische sfeer. Daarenboven stelt zich de vraag naar de (on)mogelijkheid van een gedeelde nationale geschiedenis. Vlaamse en franstalige vorsers lijken meer en meer een verschillende visie op het verleden te hebben, een visie die zelfs zodanig verschilt dat er geraakt wordt aan het zelfbeeld en het beeld van de andere.________Le chant du coqFlemish researchers have been interested in the history of the Flemish movement for a long time. At the same time the theory formation about nationalism has been completely renovated during the past years. In Le chant du coq the Ghent historian Maarten Van Ginderachter combines his two areas of interest and presents a sarcastic essay about the history of the Walloon movement. It concerns an absorbing rereading of the most recent works that were dedicated to the movement, in particular the Encyclopédie du Mouvement wallon. He intends to demonstrate that in spite of the ever repeated vision, the movement also utilizes an ethnic discourse. Consequently the opposition between an 'ethnic' Flemish movement and a 'civil' Walloon movement is rather a matter of faith, which cannot stand up to scientific analysis. The issue deserves further in-depth study. In order to understand the state of the historiography of the Walloon movement, it is essential to view the circumstances of the production as well as the relationship between the political power and the academic atmosphere in Wallonia. In addition the question about the (in)possibility of a shared national history must be raised. The visions of the past held by Flemish and French-speaking researchers appear to be growing further and further apart, with the consequence that these separate visions influence both the self-image and the image of the other party.
