"The complex treatment of intersex people in medicine has for too long neglected the support for their families. Decision-making process included parental concerns and wishes, but the emotional and peer support of families with intersex people may not always be provided. We investigate access and availability of psychological and peer support for families with intersex children. Even though the 2005 Consensus statement on DSD strongly recommended new protocol in which families should be provided psychological and peer support during decision-making process, we claim that this is still not the case. Even if there is a psychologist or psychiatrist in the multidisciplinary team during the process, that does not mean that families are provided with psychological support. Based on the scoping review method we want to identify existing professional-peer support and intervention tools for parents with intersex children. We investigate the implementation strategies for professional psychosocial interventions and examine the literature assessing their effectiveness. Our claim is that psychological and peer support are not fully implemented in the treatment process of intersex people, because the role of psychologist, psychiatrist or peer groups is seen as secondary in comparison to the one on surgeons within the multidisciplinary team of medical professionals. This leads to lack of psychosocial and peer support and to mental distress of families and their intersex children. "

"In this paper we consider weighted Morrey spaces $L_{p,\lambda,|\cdot|^{\gamma}}(\Rn).$ We prove the Hardy-Littlewood-Stein-Weiss type $L_{p,\lambda,|\cdot|^{\gamma}}(\Rn)$ to $L_{q,\lambda,|\cdot|^{\mu}}(\Rn)$ theorems for Riesz potential $I^{\al}$ and its commutators $[b,I^{\alpha}]$ and $|b,I^{\alpha}|$, where $0<\alpha<n$, $0\leq\lambda <n-\alpha$, $1< p<\frac {n-\lambda}{\alpha}$, $-n+\lambda\le\gamma<n(p-1) +\lambda$, $\mu=\frac{q\gamma}{p}$, $\frac 1p-\frac 1q = \frac \alpha {n-\lambda}$, $b\in BMO(\Rn).$ As a result of these we obtain the conditions for the boundedness of the commutator $|b,I^{\al}|$ from Besov-Morrey spaces $B_{p,\theta,\lambda,|\cdot|^{\gamma}}^s (\Rn)$ to $B_{q,\theta,\lambda,|\cdot|^{\mu}}^s (\Rn).$ Furthermore, we consider the Schr\""{o}dinger operator $-\Delta + V$ on $\Rn$ and obtain weighted Morrey $L_{p,\lambda,|\cdot|^{\gamma}}(\Rn)$ estimates for the operators $V^{s} (-\Delta+V)^{-\beta}$ and $V^{s} \nabla (-\Delta+V)^{-\beta}.$ Finally we apply our results to various operators which are estimated from above by Riesz potentials."

"The main question addressed by this paper stems methodologically from the intersection between the history of art and the history of medicine as embodied by the anatomical object: what do professionals in medicine see when looking at a work of art which takes the human body as its subject? In this particular instance, the medical figure is represented by Victor Papilian, appointed in 1919 as Head of the Institute of Anatomy at the Faculty of Medicine in Cluj, while the work of art presented to his students is the Écorché, executed earlier in 1902 by Constantin Brâncuşi. The story of the Écorché is punctuated by controversies surrounding the number of its original pieces and copies (in Bucharest, Craiova, Iaşi and Cluj), directly related to the institutional efforts invested in their acquisition (either by faculties of medicine or academies of art). However, it is generally agreed that this sculpture primarily functions as a didactic prop, no matter its recipient (the medical student or the training artist). By contextualizing Brâncuşi's Écorché within the specific field of anatomical knowledge developed at the Cluj Faculty of Medicine in the third decade of the twentieth century, I propose an argument for its hybrid nature, mainly by pointing out the distinct interests corroborated in the creation of this anatomical object with an emphasis on the changes set in motion by the contexts of production and distribution. Keywords: Faculty of Medicine, Écorché, Constantin Brâncuşi, Victor Papilian, anatomy, medical setting, history of art, context of display, medical gaze, didactic prop"

"The witch trials from Târgu-Mures are typical ones and fit together with the other cases from the early modern period. We can identify the same processes and elements as historiography and ethnography had described. On the other hand, these cases are slightly different because these witch trials were less bloody than usually in the seventeenth century. In the Hungarian Kingdom, the zenith of the witch hunts was in the middle of the eighteenth century. Perhaps the intensity of witch hunts in a medium town was smaller. This paper aims to describe and analyse the witch cases from the seventeenth-century Târgu Mures. These cases are not that remarkable, but we can gain insight into the juridical processes through them. Keywords: Târgu-Mureş, witch trials, seventeenth-century, protocols"

"The parliamentary elections play a special role in Romanian historiography, but we still need many studies on the local ones. The study aims to focus on how political life occurred in rural areas after the achievement of the administrative unification. Following that newly created context, we intend to capture how the electoral campaign is carried out at the local level. We analyse the changes in the Romanian electoral system, primarily focusing on the local elections in the rural area of Sibiu. From a methodological point of view, we studied the press of the period and archival documentary sources. We have focused on the communal electoral lists, which we analysed with the support of a database. Our approach, based on a quantitative statistic-sociological classification of the candidates, and of the voters from the communal elections in Sibiu County, reveals how involved the peasants were in political affairs. At the same time, this paper elucidates, through archival evidence, how authorities interfered in the mechanisms of the electoral process. Keywords: communal election, electoral system, candidates, political parties, propaganda, electoral results"

"Friedrich Balthes was a young master of the national architectural style of the Transylvanian Saxons. Being a victim of the First World War (he died at the age of only 32, on the Serbian front, in 1914), he was almost completely forgotten during the century. Only the architectural monuments created at the beginning of the 20th century, of a remarkable modernity, are left behind by Balthes. These works are part of the German architectural movement, which was the forerunner of modern and also traditionalist architecture of the 20s of last century. Balthes designed many buildings in the national style of the Transylvanian Saxons: a style brought from Germany, and adapted to the Transylvanian cultural landscape. He was a multi-talented personality, also writing various studies and essays on the architectural art, on the cityscape, the culture of housing, interior art, folk art, the maintenance of rural art, the color in architecture and the decoration of the streets with plants, about the old frescoes of the evangelical chirch in Cisnădie and on many other subjects. As a self-confident Transylvanian Saxon intellectual, Balthes published his articles with the purpose to educate his nation for the new cultural ideas of his time. The following study aims to present a sketch of the multidisciplinary legacy of this remarcable artist, by showing some examples of his work. One of Balthes´ many architectural creations we presented herewith the evangelical school and parish house in Bruiu (built between 1912 and 1914), wich is a good example of the architects idea of a new style, whitch overrcomes art nouveau. It was a Transylvanian Saxon national architecture, very modern for that period. It was a harmonious combination of the Transylvanian Saxon vernacular motives, with elements inspired by the German Reformarchitektur, promoted by architect and architecture theorist Hermann Muthesius.
