This chapter examines a reconciliation ceremony held at an urban settlementin Dili, Timor-Leste. The ceremony was aimed at ending violencecaused by Martial Arts Groups, which had made the settlement notorious inDili. Previous concerted efforts to curb this violence had been unsuccessful;despite the several programmes established in attempts to tackle the problem,violence became a part of daily life. Cruz Joven—the practices ofpiety (exercitia pietatis) introduced to Timor-Leste during the Indonesianera—was brought to the settlement to commemorate 500 years of the presenceof the Church. This became a central point of the ceremony, andreconciliation has since been effective. Elements from two belief systems,Catholicism and traditional beliefs, were employed in the ceremony.Following the event, the situation changed dramatically, although someincidents have continued to occur. Catholic faith has been held firmly bythe people of Timor-Leste, especially after Indonesian occupation.Conversely, traditional beliefs formed and adopted from the local contextalso have an appealing power for locals.

Background:This study evaluated whether measuring prothrombin time (PT) using particular reagents of interest predicted apixaban-associated anticoagulant activity in Japanese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).Methods and Results:Two reagents, Shinplastin Excel S and Coagpia PT-N, were used to evaluate PT under apixaban therapy. From June 2013 to February 2014, 103 NVAF patients were recruited, and PT was measured at 3 time points: (1) anytime in the outpatient clinic, (2) at peak, and (3) at trough. In spike-in experiments using pooled citrated normal human platelet-poor plasma with these PT reagents, apixaban prolonged PT values in a concentration-dependent manner. PT values significantly correlated between both reagents (r=0.97) in outpatients. PT values in outpatients taking 5-mg apixaban bid were significantly prolonged and had wide inter- and intraindividual variability. Peak values were significantly higher than trough values, with both values higher than normal. The dose change of apixaban from 5 mg bid to 2.5 mg bid in outpatients halved the degree of PT prolongation in each NVAF patient.Conclusions:The PT value measured by these specific reagents can predict apixaban-associated anticoagulant activity, although there is significant interpatient variability.
