  • “To Get Rid of Turks”. the South-Slavic States and Muslim Remigration in the Turn of 1870S and 1880S1
    “TO GET RID OF TURKS”. THE SOUTH-SLAVIC STATES AND MUSLIM REMIGRATION IN THE TURN OF 1870S AND 1880S1 Krzysztof Popek Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Institute of History ORCID ID: 0000-0001-5864-5264 Introduction The Great Eastern Crisis (1875–1878) led to migrations on an in- comparable scale in the Balkan Peninsula. The Russian-Turkish War of 1877–1878 forced about 350,000 Muslims to leave the Bulgarian lands, which we will understand as the area covering the Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia. Sanjak of Niš’s occupation by the Serbian Army resulted in the exodus of 71,000 Muslims. After the situation in the region had stabilized, the refugees (so-called Muhajirs) wanted to get back to their homes in the newly created Principality of Bulgaria, autonomous Eastern Rumelia (first controlled by Russians and later by Bulgarians), and the lands annexed by Serbia. The return of war refugees was one of the central problems the South-Slavic states faced in the first years after the Great Eastern Cri- sis. It led to serious complications, which had various reasons. Among the most significant ones was the logistic deployment of the remigrants in the areas often settled by Bulgarians of Macedonia and Thrace, and by Serbians of Kosovo and Montenegro. Another one was diplomatic disputes between the Sublime Porte and the Great Powers, the latter 1 ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Research presented in this article was financed by the grant of the Polish National Sci- ence Center: The Balkan Migration Processes in the 19th Century.

This study included 42 patients with localized prostate cancer (PC) undergoing RARP without neoadjuvant hormonal therapy. The erectile function of each patient was assessed based on the international index of erectile function-5 (IIEF- 5) and EHS at the baseline and on every visit after RARP. In this series, potency was defined as the ability to have an erection sufficient for intercourse, corresponding to EHS ≥ 3, while patients with EHS ≥ 2 were regarded as those with erectile function. Of these 42 patients, 15 and 27 underwent bilateral and unilateral nerve-sparing procedures, respectively. A proportional increase in the IIEF-5 score according to EHS was noted at 12 months after RARP. At 3, 6 and 12 months after RARP, the recovery rates of erectile function were 22.6, 55.3 and 74.8 %, respectively, while those of potency were 11.7, 23.5 and 32.3 %, respectively.
