Discursive Construction of “Others”: The Serbian Community in Southeast Kosovo in the Post-War Context
This paper briefly discusses method and theory and results of multi-sited field research of the Serbian community in southeast Kosovo. The paper represents a reduced version of much larger study, to follow subsequently, on relation between ethnic and other forms of collective identity of the Serbian community in southeast Kosovo in the post-war context.

Power of Categorization: Natives and Incomers in Southeastern Kosovo
The paper is based on fieldwork conducted over the course of a period from 2003 until 2006 at refugee centers in Serbia proper and Southeastern Kosovo more specifically in a part of the area known today as Kosovsko Pomoravlje. The paper is intended to present preliminary results of the probe into the issue of relations between the native Serbs and Serb in comers (colonized in the area after 1918 as part of the agrarian reform drive). Incomers from Southeastern Serbia to whom the native population ascribed the 'Sop' identity are the focal point of the research.
Peritoneal eosinophils during intermittent peritoneal dialysis.
Peritoneal eosinophil counts were investigated in 61 intermittent dialysis patients over the course of 1 year. The peritoneal eosinophil percentage fell from 18 +/- 2% (mean +/- SEM) in the first 2 months of dialysis to 3 +/- 0.4% after 6 months of dialysis. Absolute eosinophils per cubic millimeter fell from 586 +/- 126 to 61 +/- 18 (p less than 0.01 for both percentage and absolute values). There was a wide range in the mean eosinophil percentages per patient in the first 6 months of dialysis (0-84%) that narrowed to 0-9% after 6 months. The majority of the high initial eosinophil counts resolved after 2 months. Peripheral eosinophilia was seen in 8 of the 10 patients with the highest mean peritoneal eosinophil percentages during the first 2 months of dialysis. Patients who developed peritonitis had a significantly lower percentage of eosinophils in the first 1.5 months of dialysis than patients who did not develop peritonitis. At the time of diagnosis of peritonitis, the peritoneal eosinophil count was near zero. 4 cases of peritoneal eosinophilia which developed after antibiotic therapy are described.
