En busca de un discurso identitario y canónico: la reescritura de Rhys y Coetzee en Wide Sargasso Sea y Foe

Esta tesis estudia la reescritura de obras canonicas de la literatura inglesa desde la mirada sesgada y colateral de escritores procedentes de las antiguas colonias del imperio britanico. Jean Rhys, una autora caribena, reescribio el clasico de Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre, en Wide Sargasso Sea, la historia de la esposa loca de Rochester contada desde la perspectiva del individuo colonial. John Maxwell Coetzee, de Sudafrica, reescribio en cambio la obra maestra de Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe, en una sugerente version de la robinsonada como la que se presenta en Foe. Ambas reescrituras contienen una critica a los codigos culturales implicitos en la obra canonica, ademas de un intento por hallar un discurso representativo de su identidad y que supuestamente puede darles las claves para irrumpir en el canon occidental.
TEAK: A novel computational and GUI software pipeline for reconstructing biological networks, detecting activated biological subnetworks, and querying biological networks.

TEAK: A NOVEL COMPUTATIONAL AND GUI SOFTWARE PIPELINE FOR RECONSTRUCTING BIOLOGICAL NETWORKS, DETECTING ACTIVATED BIOLOGICAL SUBNETWORKS, AND QUERYING BIOLOGICAL NETWORKS. by Thair Judeh August 2014 Advisor: Dr. Dongxiao Zhu Major: Computer Science Degree: Doctor of Philosophy As high-throughput gene expression data becomes cheaper and cheaper, researchers are faced with a deluge of data from which biological insights need to be extracted and mined since the rate of data accumulation far exceeds the rate of data analysis. There is a need for computational frameworks to bridge the gap and assist researchers in their tasks. The Topology Enrichment Analysis frameworK (TEAK) is an open source GUI and software pipeline that seeks to be one of many tools that fills in this gap and consists of three major modules. The first module, the Gene Set Cultural Algorithm, de novo infers biological networks from gene sets using the KEGG pathways as prior knowledge. The second and third modules query against the KEGG pathways using molecular profiling data and query graphs, respectively. In particular, the second module, also called TEAK, is a network partitioning module that partitions the KEGG pathways into both linear and nonlinear subpathways. In conjunction with molecular profiling data, the subpathways are ranked and displayed to the user within the TEAK GUI. Using a public microarray yeast data set, previously unreported fitness defects for dpl1∆ and lag1∆ mutants under conditions of
Peritonite infecciosa felina: 13 casos

In a survey carried out in tissue specimens from 638 necropsied cats, 13 cases (2.03%) of feline infectious peritonitis were found. Eight of those (61.53%) were of the effusive or wet form and five had the dry non-effusive form of the disease. Ages of affected cats varied from 2-months to 3 yeas. Twelve affected cats (92.30%) were purebreds, five of these cats (38.47%) came from households with more than one cat and three of them came from the same comercial cat raising facility. The duration of clinical courses were 7-45 days and clinical signs included loss of weight, anorexia, diarrhea, jaundice, vomiting, swollen lymph nodes, and neurological disturbances. Necropsy findings, in the wet form included excess of yellowish viscous tanslucent or slightly opaque fluid (50ml-1 liter) in the peritoneal cavity and (in one case) thoracic cavity. Fibrinous exudate covered the serosal surfaces of abdominal organs imparting a whitish, granular, frost-like appearance to them. In the dry form there were multiple granulomatous foci underneath the serosal surface, which extended into the parenchyma of abdominal organs; these findings were particularly prominent in the kidneys. Corneal opacity was observed in one cat. Histologically, there were variable degrees of disseminated piogranulomatous vasculitis and perivasculitis particularly in arterioles. Pyogranulomatous meningitis or meningoencephalitis were observed in three cats with the dry form of feline infectious peritonitis.
The Use of Sonography in the Detection of Bony and Calcific Disorders of the Shoulder

Sonography is commonly used for the evaluation of shoulder symptoms. This report describes some of the bony and/or calcific changes that may be visualized in the ultrasound examination of the shoulder and may not have been detected by other modalities. Sonography is able to accurately predict the diameter of the acromioclavicular joint as well as determine the presence or absence of osteoarthritis at this joint. The os acromiale is amenable to ultrasonic detection also. Sonography appears to be more sensitive in the detection of rotator cuff calcification than the standard shoulder x-ray series and has the additional advantage of precise localization of the tendon of origin of the calcification. Sonography is able to reliably detect fractures around the greater tuberosity, and the Hill-Sachs lesion may also be seen. Changes of irregularity, cyst formation, and sclerosis around the greater tuberosity may occur in association with the impingement syndrome. These changes lead to irregularity of the greater tuberosity. Sonography can detect these changes and, to some degree, grade their severity.
INVESTIGATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FABRICS WOVEN WITH TENCEL/ COTTON BLEND YARNS

This study aims to investigate mechanical properties of woven fabrics made from 100 % Tencel, combed cotton yarns and Tencel-cotton blended yarns with different blend ratios. For this purpose, the tensile properties, tearing strength, abrasion resistance, bending rigidity, drapability and wrinkle resistant properties of woven fabrics made from different ratios of Tencel and cotton yarns were tested. All the tests were carried out according to the standards, and the results obtained were assessed by means of SPSS statistical analysis program. The analyses of variance were carried out at 5% (0.05) level of significance. The results of the study show that the effects of the proportion of the Tencel fibres in the Tencel/cotton blended yarns on the tensile properties, tearing strength, abrasion resistance, bending rigidity and drape coefficient of woven fabrics are of statistical significance, and it was found that the tensile properties, tearing strength and drapability properties were observed to be improve with the increase of Tencel fibre proportion in the blend.

Anti-inflammatory role of piperine against rat lung tissue damage induced by gamma-rays

Background: Radia on-induced acute lung damages are refractory side effects in lung cancer radiotherapy (RT). Prospec ve study inves gates the possible role of piperine (Pip) as an -inflammatory agent against γ-rays-induced lung ssue lesions in an applicable rat model. Materials and Methods: Fi"y-six Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: Control, rats were administered the vehicle by gastric tube for 6-weeks, Pip-treated, (each rat received 40mg Pip/ kg body-weight; once daily, orally for 6weeks), irradiated, (animals subjected to a single dose of whole body γ-rays (12Gy), and Pip-treated & irradiated, (each rat received the Pip-dosages, then one hour later a"er the last treatment, rats were exposed to 12Gy γ-rays. Results: The administra on of Pip to rats pre-irradia on was significantly abolish the radia on-induced allevia on in lungs catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (PGx) ac vi es and reduced glutathione (GSH) content and significantly limited the eleva on in serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels compared to irradiated group. The histopathological findings in lung ssues of irradiated group, showed par al desquama on of bronchiolar epithelial with peri-bronchiolar round cell infiltra on and serous exudates, in some cases lung presented sero-fibrinous pneumonia with emphysema and collapse of some alveoli with thickness of inter-alveolar septa, while in Pip-treated & irradiated group, lung ssues showed minimum injury with or without few degenera ve changes. Conclusion: Pip acts as a potent scavenger of free radicals to prevent and/or ameliorates the harmful effects of γ-rays. To our knowledge, this is the preliminary report of Pip mediated γ-rays induced lung inflamma on in-vitro.
Effect of an educational film on the Health Belief Model and breast self-examination practice

A longitudinal study of four phases was conducted to identify the effect of an educational film on the Health Belief Model and breast self-examination practice of second-year nursing students in Alexandria University. Findings showed that the health belief parameters [perceived susceptibility to breast cancer, benefits of and barriers to practising breast self-examination] were influenced differently by the film. A positive influence was observed between breast self-examination practice and film viewing;one-year post-film follow-up data revealed a high continuation rate of breast self-examination. The main reason cited for BSE practice was early detection of abnormalities
Revision of the Crocodilians from the Oligocene of Monteviale, Italy, and the Diversity of European Eusuchians Across the Eocene-Oligocene Boundary

ABSTRACT Crocodilian remains from the Oligocene fossil locality of Monteviale, northeastern Italy, have historically been referred to different genera, but all material was recently assigned to Diplocynodon cf. D. ratelii Pomel, 1847. The purpose of the present work is to clarify the systematics of the known crocodilian remains from Monteviale. The largest collection is housed in Padua, Italy, but museums in La Rochelle, France; Basel, Switzerland; and London, United Kingdom reposit crocodilian remains of uncertain provenance but which are clearly from either Monte Bolca or Monteviale. Radiogenic strontium isotope ratios were measured on the embedding lignite of those specimens to investigate their provenance. The material belongs to the genus Diplocynodon, but it clearly differs from D. ratelii because the nasal elements are excluded from the external nares. Diplocynodon from Monteviale shares the same general suture pattern of the skull with the two species D. tormis and D. muelleri. Diplocynodon muelleri and specimens from Monteviale are also congruent in terms of shape and proportion of the supratemporal fenestrae. However, a revision of D. muelleri is currently needed; thus, the Monteviale species is identified as Diplocynodon cf. D. muelleri. In order to examine the relationships of Diplocynodon from Monteviale, a phylogenetic analysis was carried out and points to a particularly close relationship among D. muelleri, D. tormis, and the Diplocynodon from Monteviale. The occurrence of Asiatosuchus in Monteviale is rejected, supporting the hypothesis of a reduction in crocodilian diversity around the Eocene-Oligocene boundary in Europe.
Social interaction in patients’ hospital choice: evidence from Italy

Summary. We study the influence of social interaction on patients’ choice of hospital and its relationship with the quality that is delivered by hospitals, using Italian data. We explore the effect on individual choices of a set of variables such as travel distance and individual‐ and hospital‐specific characteristics, as well as a variable capturing the effect of the neighbourhood. The richness of our data allows us to disentangle the influence of sharing information (the network) on patients’ choices of hospital from contextual effects. Our empirical investigation suggests that past experience in the utilization of health services by the network plays a significant role in explaining current patients’ choices of hospital. Other relevant factors that influence patients’ decisions of being admitted in a particular hospital are prior use of health services in that hospital, patient‐to‐hospital distance and supply factors such as the number of beds and number of doctors. We then investigate the relationship between a set of health outcome indicators and the sensitivity of patients’ choices to the network, to test whether sharing information increases the likelihood of selecting a high quality hospital. Our results suggest that social interaction does not have an influence on health outcomes, and in some cases it may even mislead patients, who end up in low quality institutions. One explanation for this result is the absence of a source of information on the quality of hospitals that is accessible to all individuals, such as guidelines or star ratings, which may exacerbate the influence of information that is gathered locally on choices of hospital and may result in a lower degree of competition between hospitals and lower quality.
Trauma Exposure in Primary School Children: Who Is at Risk?

In order to direct efforts to prevent children from being exposed to trauma and its psychosocial consequences, more knowledge is needed about which children are at risk. Therefore, we examined demographic risk factors for trauma exposure in a sample of Dutch primary school children in the general population (N = 1,770, mean age 10.24 years). Fourteen percent of the children reported exposure. Age was positively associated with exposure while sex, ethnicity, and region of residence did not emerge as significant risk factors. These results imply that prevention measures should be provided not only to groups of children who are traditionally considered vulnerable but broadly.
Selectivity of Endothall in Turf

Absorption, translocation, metabolism, and action of 7-oxabicyclo[2.2. 1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (endothall) in annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L. ‘Merion’), and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L. ‘Penncross’) were studied. Selective action on annual bluegrass from root applications of endothall was attributed to differences in absorption and action of the herbicide. Morphological differences among species, spray retention, and endothall action contributed to selectivity following foliar applications.
Final Report of the Independent Panel of Experts on the Cholera Outbreak in Haiti

Executive Summary Ten months after the devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010, cholera appeared in Haiti for the first time in nearly a century. The outbreak subsequently claimed over 4,500 lives, sickened almost 300,000 people, and continues to cause infections and deaths in Haiti. The source of the cholera has been controversial, with hypotheses that the pathogen that causes cholera (Vibrio cholerae) arrived into Haiti from the Gulf of Mexico due to tectonic shifts resulting from the earthquake, evolved into disease-causing strains from non-pathogenic strains naturally present in Haiti, or originated from a human host who inadvertently introduced the strain into the Haitian environment. A specific form of the third hypothesis, that soldiers deployed from a cholera-endemic country to the Mirebalais MINUSTAH camp were the source of the cholera, is a commonly held belief in Haiti. In order to determine the source of the outbreak definitively, the Secretary-General of the United Nations formed an Independent Panel of four international experts (the " Independent Panel "), with a mandate to " investigate and seek to determine the source of the 2010 cholera outbreak in Haiti ". To fulfill this mandate, concurrent epidemiological, water and sanitation, and molecular analysis investigations were carried out. On October 22 nd , 2010, the first cholera case in Haiti in nearly a century was confirmed at the Haiti National Public Health Laboratory. A review of hospital admission records along the Artibonite River from the mountains of Mirebalais to St. Marc on the coast clearly showed that a normal background rate of non-fatal diarrheal disease in adults and children was abruptly interrupted by the onset of a cholera outbreak. The first hospitalized cholera case in Mirebalais, in the upstream region of the Artibonite River, was on the evening of October 17 th , 2010. The first hospitalized cholera cases on the coast, in the Artibonite River Delta in St. Marc and Deschapelle, were on October 20 th , 2010. The outbreak was widely established in the coastal areas by October 22 nd , 2010. The timeline suggests that the outbreak spread along the Artibonite River. After establishing that the cases began in the upper reaches of the Artibonite River, potential sources of contamination that could have initiated the outbreak were investigated. MINUSTAH contracts with an outside contractor to handle human fecal waste. The sanitation conditions at the Mirebalais MINUSTAH camp were not sufficient to prevent fecal contamination …
Le vote blanc et nul en Wallonie : analyse écologique et individuelle

Le vote blanc et nul est probablement le comportement de vote le plus laisse pour compte dans les etudes electorales. Pourtant dans une democratie comme la Belgique, ce vote n’est pas negligeable et presente une geographie atypique mettant en exergue les regions frontalieres. Nous analyserons donc dans cet article ce comportement de vote meconnu de maniere a la fois ecologique et individuelle. Apres avoir bâti un modele de regression tentant de rendre compte de la variation spatiale du vote blanc et nul en Wallonie grâce a des variables demographiques et socio-economiques, nous etudierons les informations issues de pres de 2000 bulletins de votes blancs et nuls recuperes dans des services d’archives electorales. L’etude mettra ainsi en lumiere l’opposition entre votes blancs et nuls ruraux et urbains. Les premiers, tres nombreux notamment le long des frontieres nationales, revetent le caractere soit d’une abstention cachee soit d’un desinteret pour la politique belge de la part d’electeurs tournes vers les pays frontaliers. Les seconds sont quant a eux la combinaison d’un rejet de la politique et d’une meconnaissance des regles electorales par les classes populaires et les primo-votants.
Handwritten Digit Recognition Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Handwritten character recognition is one of the practically important issues in pattern recognition applications. The applications of digit recognition include in postal mail sorting, bank check processing, form data entry, etc. The main problem lies within the ability on developing an efficient algorithm that can recognize hand written digits, which is submitted by users by the way of a scanner, tablet, and other digital devices. This paper presents an approach to off-line handwritten digit recognition based on different machine learning techniques. The main objective of this paper is to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of the approached recognition of handwritten digits. Several machines learning algorithms (i.e. Multilayer Perceptron, Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, Bayes Net, Random Forest, J48, and Random Tree) have been used for the recognition of digits using WEKA. The experimental results showed that the highest accuracy was obtained by Multilayer Perceptron with the value of 90.37%.
Housing and Connection to Nature for People with Dementia

Abstract This paper reports on the qualitative findings of the first phase of the INDEPENDENT Project, an EPSRC funded EQUAL 4 consortium project in the UK that aims to investigate enabling environments for people with dementia. The overall project focus is on wellbeing and quality of life for people in different types of housing, with particular focus on the possible roles technology can play in maintaining the person's independence as long as possible. Connection to nature, access to the outdoors, and participation in nature-based activities were among a wide range of enjoyable activities reported by study participants living in their own homes or in residential care. First, an overview of connection to nature for people with dementia and the importance of this connection within their home environments are given. Secondly, the research study is described and data from interviews with people with dementia and from focus groups with family and professional carers including access to, and preferences for nature are summarized. Multiple factors enabling or challenging a person's participation in nature-related activities included personal factors, formal support, social networks, as well as cultural and spiritual aspects. These factors are briefly described and compared. Lastly, factors of the built environment and differences between building types are presented and conclusions drawn.
