Religious Studies 319 focuses upon the formation and development of Esoteric Buddhism in South Asia from c. 500 CE to 1200 CE. Esoteric Buddhist formations, as part of broader pan-Indic cultural movements known as Tantra, are some of the most popular yet most misunderstood forms of Buddhism. In this course, we will examine the social and historical contexts for the formation of Esoteric movements as well as consider some of the many questions concerning the history, literature, and practices of these cultural movements.

BACKGROUND Patients with metastatic gastric cancer are usually not good operative candidates. Recent improvements in surgical techniques allowed palliative gastric resection and other surgical procedures. METHOD We have examined the place of palliative gastrectomy and its impact on survival in stage IV gastric cancer patients admitted in 2003-2008 period. RESULTS From a total of 295 patients with gastric cancer, we found 140 patients with stage IV disease; 85 of them had no resection (45 received only chemotherapy) and 55 underwent palliative gastric resection with or without postoperative chemotherapy. Mean survival in non-operated patients with chemotherapy alone was 6.4 months, not significantly different to that of the patients with palliative surgery alone (8.9 months). The group with palliative surgery and adjuvant therapy had a significantly better mean survival (17.8 months). Mortality and morbidity rates associated with palliative surgery were 9% and 34.5%, respectively. CO...

Recent geodynamic characteristics of the Southern Central coast are analyzed on the basis of vertical and horizontal displacement velocities along active fault zones. The horizontal displacement velocity varies in magnitude from this fault system to another fault system, from 0.11–0.3 mm/year on the strike-slip - normal faults to 0–0.058 mm/year on the strike-slip faults and normal faults. The subsidence velocity changes complicatedly, different from one fault to another fault, depending on the mechanism of faults. On the continental shelf, most of the values of high subsidence’s velocity are related to the normal and strike-slip faults. Subsidence activities make the sea level increase highly, the subsidence activity makes the sea level rise at structures that fall close to the shore, reach about 0.2–0.48 mm/year in late Pleistocene - Holocene. The increase of sea level directly affects the intensity of erosion, flood, salinity and land loss events in coastal lowlands. Slippage of ...
