Published: May 2017

Background

Extubation failure is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, but cannot be safely predicted or avoided. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) prevents postextubation respiratory failure in low-risk patients.

Objective

To demonstrate that HFNC reduces postextubation respiratory failure in high-risk non-hypercapnic patients compared with conventional oxygen.

Methods

Randomized, controlled multicenter trial in patients who passed a spontaneous breathing trial. We enrolled patients meeting criteria for high-risk of failure to randomly receive HFNC or conventional oxygen for 24 h after extubation. Primary outcome was respiratory failure within 72-h postextubation. Secondary outcomes were reintubation, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital lengths of stay, and mortality. Statistical analysis included multiple logistic regression models.

Results

The study was stopped due to low recruitment after 155 patients were enrolled (78 received high-flow and 77 received conventional oxygen). Groups were similar at enrollment, and all patients tolerated 24-h HFNC. Postextubation respiratory failure developed in 16 (20%) HFNC patients and in 21 (27%) conventional patients [OR 0.69 (0.31–1.54), p = 0.2]. Reintubation was needed in 9 (11%) HFNC patients and in 12 (16%) conventional patients [OR 0.71 (0.25–1.95), p = 0.5]. No difference was found in ICU or hospital length of stay, or mortality. Logistic regression models suggested HFNC [OR 0.43 (0.18–0.99), p = 0.04] and cancer [OR 2.87 (1.04–7.91), p = 0.04] may be independently associated with postextubation respiratory failure.

Conclusion

Our study is inconclusive as to a potential benefit of HFNC over conventional oxygen to prevent occurrence of respiratory failure in non-hypercapnic patients at high risk for extubation failure.

Dress and sex: a review of empirical research involving human participants and published in refereed journals
Authors: Lennon Sharron J. , Adomaitis Alyssa Dana , Koo Jayoung , Johnson Kim K. P.
Published: May 2017

Our research purpose was to assess research addressing relationships between dress and sex. Our review was focused on a 25 years span (i.e., 1990–2015) and on empirical research utilizing human participants published in refereed journals. Three main areas of research emerged: (1) dress used as cue to sexual information, (2) dress and sexual violence, and (3) dress, sex, and objectification. Our analyses revealed parents do invest their young children with sex-typed dress however sometimes children demand to wear such dress. Some women intentionally use dress to communicate sexual information but inferences about women who wear sexy dress can be misinterpreted and are sometimes negative. Observers link wearing sexy dress to violence including sexual coercion, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and unwelcome groping, touching, and grabbing. Certain items of sexy dress that reveal the body have been linked to self-objectification. The fit of the items may also contribute to the body revealing nature of clothing styles that elicit self-objectification. The use of sexual images of women and children has increased over time and viewing such images is also linked to self- and other-objectification. Suggestions are provided for future research.
Criterion for fracture transition to critical stage
Authors: Damaskinskaya Ekaterina , Frolov Dmitry , Gafurova Dina , Korost Dmitry , Panteleev Ivan
Published: May 2017

We have developed an analysis of data obtained in laboratory investigations of deformation of rocks by acoustic emission and X-ray microtomography. We found that defect accumulation occurs in fundamentally differing manners during loading. At first, defects are generated randomly and have a specific size determined by a typical structural element of a material (e.g., a grain in granite). Then the defects with sizes not dictated by the material structure are generated. The interaction between these defects gives rise to critical defects that are capable of self-development. In all probability, a sample breakdown results from the evolution of the ensemble of critical defects. We found that the fracture stages can be distinguished by the type of energy distribution function of the acoustic emission signals. At the first stage, the distribution is approximated by an exponential function, whereas the second stage is characterized by a power-law function that points to a self-organized criticality state. This approach allows an early prediction (at early stages of deformation) of the spatial region in which a fault can be formed.
Fracture characteristics and their effects on hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in tight volcanic reservoirs: A case study of the Xujiaweizi fault depression, Songliao Basin, China

Published: May 2017

The Xujiaweizi fault depression is located in the northern part of the Songliao Basin, China. The Yingcheng Formation of the Xujiaweizi fault depression is a fractured tight volcanic reservoir. Many primary pores exist in the tight volcanic reservoirs of the Yingcheng Formation, but their connectivity is very poor. The degree of development of tectonic fractures determines the reservoir quality and the probability of hydrocarbon accumulation. To elucidate the fracture characteristics and their effects on hydrocarbon migration and accumulation, we analyze the fracture genetic types, characteristics, and controlling factors using data from cores, image logs, and thin sections. Then, we evaluate the matching relationship between tectonic fractures and hydrocarbon migration and accumulation by combining the evolution of the source rocks, analysis of the gas-source fault activity period and evolution of the cap rock sealing ability. We find two types of fractures developed in tight volcanic rocks: primary fractures and secondary fractures. Primary fractures mainly include cooling contraction fractures and cryptoexplosive fractures. Secondary fractures could be further divided into tectonic fractures, dissolution fractures, and weathering fractures. Among them, tectonic fractures are dominant. The distribution of tectonic fractures is controlled by lithology, lithofacies, faults, rock anisotropy, and an unconformity. Tectonic fractures are mainly formed in three phases. The time when the second phase of tectonic fractures formed (the Late Quantou-Qingshankou period) coincided with the peak hydrocarbon generation of the source rocks of the Shahezi Formation. Also at that time, the gas-source faults were active and the cap rock had a good top-seal capacity. Thus, the Late Quantou-Qingshankou period was the main period of natural gas accumulation.

At the 2016 SEG Annual Meeting in Dallas, a historical photo was displayed in the SEG China Pavilion (see below). The photo was taken in 1981 during the first joint technical symposium between SEG and the Chinese Geophysical Society (CGS) in Beijing. The event involved more than 500 geophysicists and included approximately 65 timely technical papers contributed by both organizations. Kevin M. Barry (former SEG president) led the SEG delegation. Gu Gong-Xu (former CGS president) was the host. Lee Lawyer, who donated this photo, attended the symposium when he was the SEG vice president and chief geophysicist at Chevron (11th from left, third row from back). Believe it or not, I was also in the photo (third from right, second row from back). I contributed a paper on “Seismic migration in frequency domain with a phase-shift method” with my coauthor, Han Chang-Feng. Of course, I was very young at that time with a lot of black hair! Lawyer recalled, “Dr. Gu chaired the technical meeting. He used three flowers to show the time of the presentations. When the green flower was in, the speaker had time. When the orange flower was placed in the vase, he had five minutes to summarize. When the red flower was used, his time was up!”
Introduction to this special section: Business impact of 4D seismic
Authors: Blangy J. P. , van Gestel Jean-Paul
Published: May 2017

Since its introduction as a new technology in the mid-1980s, the adoption and deployment of 4D seismic methods has been phenomenal. 4D seismic was developed initially as a geophysical technology to answer key questions related to reservoir development and recovery methods in the North Sea, but early successes resulted in expanding the “customer base” from geoscientists to reservoir, production, drilling, and project engineers as well as management. Today, high-quality 4D interpretations are used to constrain and improve subsurface simulation models, which include both the reservoir and the overburden. In turn, 4D has become an integral part of key business decisions that optimize both selection of new well targets and the overall reservoir management strategy.
The value of 4D seismic: Has the promise been fulfilled?
Authors: Blangy J. P. , Nasser Mosab , Maguire Dan
Published: May 2017

Time-lapse (4D) seismic is a key component of an asset's reservoir surveillance strategy. Its value lies in optimizing field developments because it enables the detection of reservoir changes due to production, and it allows for timely corrective action toward optimal field management. In producing assets, 4D seismic adds incremental economic value by providing 3D information on the dynamic performance of reservoirs. This can occur during each of the four phases of the life of a field: first, by helping extend the field's base production and injection plateau through the identification of infill target areas (bypassed hydrocarbons) or areas of inefficient injection support; second, by adjusting depletion plans and optimizing hydrocarbon recovery mechanisms and their efficiency; third, by rejuvenating the field through taking advantage of existing infrastructure to develop stranded pools and targeting poorly swept areas of the field; and fourth, by managing the life of field more effectively through monitoring saturation and pressure changes at both reservoir and well scales. The value gained from deploying 4D seismic often exceeds our expectations when compared to that derived from a value-of-information exercise prior to acquiring such data. This is due to the “known unknowns,” such as flow features that occur below the seismic scale, and “unknown unknowns,” such as complex reservoir connectivity. We present several field examples and show that the source of value falls under two main categories: quantifiable, such as net present value (NPV), and qualitative, such as improved field knowledge and decision making. We also discuss a case where 4D gave rise to an incremental increase in NPV that exceeded one-third of the field's total original NPV.

Cluster Flow: A user-friendly bioinformatics workflow tool
Authors: Ewels Philip , Krueger Felix , Käller Max , Andrews Simon
Published: May 2017

Pipeline tools are becoming increasingly important within the field of bioinformatics. Using a pipeline manager to manage and run workflows comprised of multiple tools reduces workload and makes analysis results more reproducible. Existing tools require significant work to install and get running, typically needing pipeline scripts to be written from scratch before running any analysis. We present Cluster Flow, a simple and flexible bioinformatics pipeline tool designed to be quick and easy to install. Cluster Flow comes with 40 modules for common NGS processing steps, ready to work out of the box. Pipelines are assembled using these modules with a simple syntax that can be easily modified as required. Core helper functions automate many common NGS procedures, making running pipelines simple. Cluster Flow is available with an GNU GPLv3 license on GitHub. Documentation, examples and an online demo are available at http://clusterflow.io.
Recent advances in metacommunities and meta-ecosystem theories
Authors: Guichard Frédéric
Published: May 2017

Metacommunity theory has provided many insights into the general problem of local versus regional control of species diversity and relative abundance. The metacommunity framework has been extended from competitive interactions to whole food webs that can be described as spatial networks of interaction networks. Trophic metacommunity theory greatly contributed to resolving the community complexity-stability debate by predicting its dependence on the regional spatial context. The meta-ecosystem framework has since been suggested as a useful simplification of complex ecosystems to apply this spatial context to spatial flows of both individuals and matter. Reviewing the recent literature on metacommunity and meta-ecosystem theories suggests the importance of unifying theories of interaction strength into a meta-ecosystem framework that captures how the strength of spatial, species, and ecosystem fluxes are distributed across location and trophic levels. Such integration predicts important feedback between local and regional processes that drive the assembly of species, the stability of community, and the emergence of ecosystem functions, from limited spatial fluxes of individuals and (in)organic matter. These predictions are often mediated by the maintenance of environmental or endogenous fluctuations from local to regional scales that create important challenges and opportunities for the validation of metacommunity and meta-ecosystem theories and their application to conservation.
A qualitative and quantitative performance evaluation of Swaziland’s Rural Health Motivator program
Authors: Geldsetzer Pascal , Vaikath Maria , De Neve Jan-Walter , Bärnighausen Till , Bossert Thomas J.
Published: May 2017

Background: Community health workers (CHWs) are increasingly used to increase access to primary healthcare, and considered to be a key health worker cadre to achieve the UNAIDS 90-90-90 target. Despite the recent policy interest in effectively designing, implementing, and evaluating new CHW programs, there is limited evidence on how long-standing CHW programs are performing. Using the CHW Performance Logic model as an evaluation framework, this study aims to assess the performance of Swaziland’s long-standing national CHW program, called the rural health motivator (RHM) program. Methods: This study was carried out in the Manzini and Lubombo regions of Swaziland. We conducted a survey of 2,000 households selected through two-stage cluster random sampling and a survey among a stratified simple random sample of 306 RHMs. Additionally, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 25 RHMs. Results: While RHMs are instructed to visit every household assigned to them at least once a month, only 15.7% (95% CI: 11.4 – 20.4%) of RHMs self-reported to be meeting this target. Less than half (46.3%; 95% CI: 43.4 – 49.6%) of household survey respondents, who reported to have ever been visited by a RHM, rated their overall satisfaction with RHM services as eight or more points on a 10-point scale (ranging from “very dissatisfied” to “very satisfied”). A theme arising from the qualitative interviews was that community members only rarely seek care from RHMs, with care-seeking tending to be constrained to emergency situations. Conclusions: The RHM program does not meet some of its key performance objectives. Two opportunities to improve RHM performance identified by the evaluation were increasing RHM's stipend and improving the supply of equipment and material resources needed by RHMs to carry out their tasks.
Peripherally inserted central catheters for calcium requirements after successful parathyroidectomy: a comparison with centrally inserted catheters
Authors: Qi HJ , Yang WW , Zhang LD , Shi XJ , Li QY , Ye T
Published: May 2017

BACKGROUND

Intravenous calcium supplements are often required following parathyroidectomy to avoid postoperative hypocalcaemia. The aim of this study was to compare application effect of a femoral central venous catheter (CVC) and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) on intravenous calcium supplements after parathyroidectomy.

METHODS

We retrospectively reviewed the hospital records of 73 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent a successful parathyroidectomy at the Huashan Hospital attached to Fudan University between 1 April 2011 and 1 February 2016.

RESULTS

Of the 73 study participants, 39 (53.4%) had a PICC and 34 (46.6%) had a CVC, respectively. Patients in the CVC group needed 6–7 days of intravenous calcium supplements, while patients in PICC group needed only 2–3 days to achieve normal serum calcium concentration (2.2–2.6 mmol/L). Furthermore, the duration of calcium supplementation was 71.62 ± 4.48 hours in PICC group and 100.4 ± 5.43 hours in CVC group (P < 0.05). Of the patients in PICC group, the incidence of catheter occlusion, operation failure and hypocalcaemia was 0%, which was significantly lower than those in CVC group (2.56%, 7.69% and 7.69%, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

PICC is a safe and efficient alternative in contrast to CVC for providing venous access for calcium supplementation in surgical patients after parathyroidectomy.
Second generation cephalosporin antibiotic prophylaxis and Clostridium difficile infection in hip and knee arthroplasty
Authors: Al-Tawil K , Babu A , Loeffler M , Williams T
Published: May 2017

Introduction

The use of broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotics has been discouraged by the Department of Health in England because of the link to increased Clostridium difficile infection rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a local protocol that included the use of second generation cephalosporin (cefuroxime) antibiotics as a prophylactic agent was associated with increased risk of C difficile in elective hip and knee arthroplasty patients.

Methods

A retrospective intention-to-treat study was conducted. An infection control database of all cases of C difficile infection both in hospital and in the community was reviewed and cross-referenced against surgical records. A positive correlation was identified when a C difficile positive sample was documented within eight weeks of arthroplasty surgery.

Results

Only 1 case (0.02%) of C difficile positive diarrhoea was identified that correlated to the 8-week postoperative period following 4,488 arthroplasty procedures.

Conclusions

The use of cephalosporin antibiotic prophylaxis in the elective hip and knee arthroplasty setting does not appear to be associated with increased C difficile infection rates, achieving surgical site infection rates that are comparable with the national average.
The effect of numbness on outcome from total knee replacement
Authors: Blackburn J , Wylde V , Greenwood R , Blom AW , Levy A
Published: May 2017

INTRODUCTION

Some patients report continuing pain and functional limitations after total knee replacement (TKR). While numbness around the TKR scar is common, the impact of numbness is less clear. One particular activity that could be influenced by numbness is kneeling. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of numbness around TKR scars on health related quality of life and kneeling ability.

METHODS

Fifty-six patients were recruited one year after primary TKR. Sensation around the knee was assessed through patient self-reporting, monofilament testing and vibration, and patients’ distress was measured on a visual analogue scale. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) including the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC®) index, the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the painDETECT® (Pfizer, Berlin, Germany) questionnaire and the EQ-5D™ (EuroQol, Rotterdam, Netherlands) questionnaire were used. Participants were also asked about kneeling ability.

RESULTS

While 68% of patients reported numbness around their TKR scar, there was no statistically significant correlation between numbness and distress at numbness (self-report: 0.23, p=0.08; monofilament: 0.15, p=0.27). Furthermore, numbness did not correlate significantly with joint specific PROMs (WOMAC®: 0.21, p=0.13; KOOS: 0.18, p=0.19). However, difficulty with kneeling did correlate with both self-reported numbness (0.36, p=0.020) and worse PROM scores (WOMAC® pain subscale: 0.62, p<0.001; KOOS: 0.64, p<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Numbness after knee replacement is common but is not associated with worse patient reported outcomes.
Management of ampullary tumours in children: still a challenge

Published: May 2017

This study describes the case of the youngest patient ever reported with ampullary adenoma. The incidence of ampullary adenomas in childhood is unknown. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound are used in adults to assess and treat these lesions, although there are no instruments designed specifically for use in young children. A six-year-old girl was admitted for abdominal pain, vomiting, pruritus and weight loss. Abdominal ultrasound showed biliary tree (8mm) and pancreatic duct dilatation (4mm). Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and computed tomography confirmed these findings, and also showed displacement of the ampulla to the left upper quadrant. An upper endoscopy confirmed a large ampullary adenoma.

A laparotomy was performed and a 5cm villous tumour arising from the ampulla was excised. The postoperative course was uneventful. The histology demonstrated adenoma of the ampulla (intestinal type) without low-grade dysplasia. all clinical and radiological parameters are normal at 20 months follow-up.

We describe the case of the youngest patient ever reported with ampullary adenoma. Pancreaticoduodenectomy carries high morbidity and mortality rates, and therefore it should be avoided in absence of histologically proven malignancy. We believe that surgical ampullectomy is a safe and oncologically correct procedure until better endoscopic instruments for peadiatric use will be designed.

Published: May 2017

A 43-year-old man had a peritoneovenous shunt inserted for the treatment of chylous ascites secondary to myelofibrosis. Despite being on anticoagulation for superior mesenteric vein thrombosis, he developed shunt dysfunction within two weeks of insertion. Superior venacavography showed multiple filling defects in the right axillary vein, no filling of the right brachiocephalic and right subclavian vein, and thrombotic occlusion of the internal jugular veins bilaterally. The shunt was removed 11 days after insertion, and there was extensive thrombosis of the venous end of the shunt and the compressible pump chamber. Shunt thrombosis is known to occur but remains a rare complication, with 87% of such obstructions being due to a thrombus at the tip of the venous end of the shunt. Extensive thrombosis of the shunt (as in the present case) is very rare.

A GARANTIA DO CONTEÚDO ESSENCIAL DO DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À LIBERDADE DE LOCOMOÇÃO DOS ADOLESCENTES: ANÁLISE DE UMA DECISÃO JUDICIAL
Authors: Bessa Ana Carla Coelho , Santiago Nestor Eduardo Araruna
Published: May 2017

Trata-se de estudo de acórdão favorável a adolescente ao qual havia sido aplicada medida socioeducativa de internação pela prática de ato infracional equiparado ao tráfico de entorpecentes. A análise teve como parâmetro o direito fundamental à liberdade de locomoção e a teoria do conteúdo essencial dos direitos fundamentais. Examinou-se o direito à liberdade de locomoção a partir da Doutrina da Proteção Integral, que concede ao adolescente a prioridade na proteção dos Direitos Fundamentais. Observou-se que a decisão seguiu a interpretação estrita da norma infraconstitucional regulamentadora da obediência ao princípio constitucional da excepcionalidade quando da aplicação, à criança ou ao adolescente, de qualquer medida privativa da liberdade. Concluiu-se que, no caso concreto, o acórdão seguiu a teoria absoluta do conteúdo essencial dos direitos fundamentais, que indica abstratamente o conteúdo essencial do direito fundamental à liberdade de locomoção do adolescente, independentemente das circunstâncias do caso em particular, em conformidade com as restrições da norma infraconstitucional que explicitava os casos de internação e com o entendimento sumulado dos Tribunais, que desobriga a restrição do direito no caso em análise.
RACIONALIDADE E EXCLUSÃO NA TEORIA POLÍTICO-CONSTITUCIONAL RAWLSIANA
Authors: Da Silva Vera Lucia
Published: May 2017

A pretensão de autossustentabilidade da concepção política de justiça equitativa rawlsiana é seu diferencial em relação às demais teorias em filosofia política. Essa independência da justiça equitativa em relação às doutrinas morais permite vislumbrar um arranjo institucional estável nas sociedades democráticas, apesar do pluralismo de crenças e valores. O objetivo desse artigo é verificar os limites da independência da justiça equitativa em relação às doutrinas morais. Para tanto, procedeu-se à leitura das principais obras de John Rawls, orientada pela metodologia dedutiva. Dessa aproximação teórica, verificou-se que a concepção de pessoa racional compromete a justiça rawlsiana com uma doutrina metafísica de pessoa. Tal doutrina considera irracional determinados projetos de bem, como o do jogador. Nesse sentido, a concepção política de justiça pode ser considerada como uma doutrina moral abrangente, que determina e exclui modos de vida a partir da concepção de racionalidade. Tal exclusão revela que a teoria política liberal rawlsiana não conseguiu superar os limites do liberalismo moderno, dependente que é ainda de valores morais bastante determinados. O problema passa a ser a eliminação dos elementos perturbadores da estabilidade política, o que limita a possibilidade dos conflitos. Assim, a sociedade bem-ordenada rawlsiana seria limitada enquanto projeto democrático, vez que sustentada por valores morais abrangentes. Tal fato contraria diretamente os próprios propósitos de Rawls declarados em Uma Teoria da Justiça.

Published: May 2017

En la actualidad los estudios geomorfométricos del relieve y su representación cartográfica digital constituyen una plataforma geomorfológica esencial para la delimitación de unidades sintéticas naturales, indispensables para la organización territorial y para las investigaciones aplicadas a la optimización del uso agrícola de suelo, la microlocalización de asentamientos humanos, la designación de programas forestales e, inclusive, para los planes estratégicos militares, entre muchas utilidades socioproductivas. En este sentido, el presente trabajo persigue precisar los métodos y las interpretaciones geomorfológicas sobre la morfografía y la energía del relieve mexicano, considerando para ello dos cálculos por unidad de área: densidad de curvas de nivel (km/km2) como base morfográfica, y diferencia máxima de alturas (m/km2) como base morfométrica, con apoyo en los software SIG ArcView, ArcGis y ArcInfo. Las etapas del levantamiento cartográfico de las unidades geomorfométricas del relieve mexicano fueron: 1) construcción del mapa morfográfico: a) cálculo de la densidad de curvas de nivel, b) análisis y reclasificación de datos, c) generalización espacial por área mínima cartografiable y d) suavizado de límites geográficos; 2) elaboración de la energía del relieve: a) construcción del MDE, b) cálculo de la energía del relieve y c) reclasificación de datos, y 3) obtención del mapa de las unidades geomorfométricas del relieve: a) superposición de los mapas morfográfico y de energía del relieve, b) estadística espacial y c) asignación por contorno morfográfico de las dos clases de energía del relieve predominantes. Finalmente, la metodología arrojó resultados bastante precisos y coherentes entre las realidades matemático-estadística y geomorfológica del relieve.

El presente artículo socializa una expe-riencia de trabajo colectivo en torno a las prácticascurriculares en una universidad pública. Pretendeexpresar lo más cabalmente posible el entramado devoluntades y decisiones políticas que se requieren para gestar mejoras en la formación universitaria. Somos conscientes de que el dinamismo de lo real solo puede mostrarse parcialmente en la lógica de una escritura, por lo que describiremos parte de este proceso. En la primera parte presentamos aspectos centrales de su organización y desarrollo hasta la fecha; y en la segunda parte ofrecemos algunas reflexiones sobre sus avances que, aunque provisorios, denotan consensos construidos, desafíos que se abren y direcciones que van tomándose en pos de potenciar un proyecto curricular académica y socialmente relevante.

Understanding Identity and Diaspora: The Case of the Sama-Bajau of Maritime Southeast Asia
Authors: Maglana Matthew Constancio
Published: May 2017

The Sama-Bajau or the Sinama-speaking peoples are deemed to be the most widely dispersed indigenous ethno-linguistic group in maritime Southeast Asia.  The Sama-Bajau “diaspora,” which constitute a locus of points across territorially-defined spaces, gives rise to specific socio-cultural contexts which in turn results in the emergence of distinct notions of identity.  This diaspora, therefore, gives the student of culture the opportunity to observe ethno-genesis as either “completed,” incipient or on-going processes of the creation of identities that exhibit rare tensions between ideas of sameness and difference.  The former is a function of a common origin, which may be real or perceived, while the latter results from site-specific sources of distinction such as those brought about by socio-cultural adaptation to environment, intercultural contact with other peoples or other external sources of culture change.  This article interrogates this tension between sameness and difference through a selection of examples seen in labels of self-designation, language, and, religious and ritual practices.
PROYEK DEMOGRAFI DALAM BAYANG-BAYANG DISINTEGRASI NASIONAL: STUDI TENTANG TRANSMIGRASI DI GORONTALO, 1950-1960

The Republic of Indonesia faced variety problems related primarily an exploding population, national integration and distribution of welfare in the postcolonial sovereignity 1949. In the context of new state formation there were three things inter-related, because it is the most potential problems to threaten national integration. The unevennnes of well-being number of people in each island became the another factors. Java as center for beuracracy since the Dutch colonial era, it has been the most densely populated island, while outside Java island  that widely occupied by only a few people. The government decided to continue the program of colonization that would became transmigration. It was expected to press Java will be reduced significantly of demography and placing new areas of the another islands to develop their well-being condition objectively. In addition, since 1958 when facing disintegration treatment Indonesia was becoming more prominent in some areas, transmigration program geared to be knots of national integration. In the end, the plan must faced population problems and displacements in factual difficulties state financial, political conditions, and the instability of national security’s at the time. It made the governmen’s plan to move a third of the Javanese population in Java can not be executed well. By using the method of historical research, this paper about to discover the realization of the transmigration program during 1950-1960 in Gorontalo conducted in the midst of instability of national security.
In support of multiword unit classifications: Corpus and human rating data validate phraseological classifications of three different multiword unit types
Authors: Columbus Georgie
Published: May 2017

Multiword units (MWUs) are word combinations which sit within the continuum of formulaic language. Many experimental studies have focused on the online processing of MWUs by native and non-native speakers, and the processing of idioms in particular. However, some studies use a mix of various MWU subtypes, while other studies have varying definitions for the same subtypes. For results from MWU studies to be useful to theories of language processing, storage and access, clearer classifications are needed for MWU subtypes. This study aims to empirically validate MWU categories as described by certain phraseologists in the European tradition. This will be done using MWUs from the British National Corpus, from across the continuum of frequent to infrequent occurrence and co-occurrence. Hence, in this paper I will describe the empirical findings that may validate the classifications for MWU categories of restricted collocations, idioms, and lexical bundles, using corpus-based measures and human ratings.
Gradience and gradualness of parentheticals
Authors: Bolly Catherine
Published: May 2017

The assumption made in the present paper is that phraseology and grammaticalization are distinct areas, which nevertheless have many linguistic criteria in common. To support this view, particular attention is paid to parentheticals that are characterized by mutual association between their lexical constituents and grammatical patterning. More particularly, the paper is devoted to the constructional approach of (reduced) parenthetical clauses in presentday French, with a focus on the tu vois ‘you see’ construction. Parentheticals are defined here in terms of synchronic gradience, according to their degree of association strength observable in present-day use, and in terms of diachronic gradualness, resulting from successive evolving steps in language change. Questioning the nature of the link that exists between the various processes of language change at play for the construction, the concept of functionalization is also introduced, in line with emergentist and lexico-grammatical view of language.
Phraseologie und Valenztheorie
Authors: Stumpf Sören
Published: May 2017

Based on previous research results, the following paper gives an overview of the possibilities of transferring the valence theory to verbal phraseologisms. Verbal phraseologisms display internal and external ‘blank positions’ which can’t be differentiated strictly dichotomically. Moreover, there are certain interferences or transitions between both valence levels. To fulfill a wide phraseology concept, the analysis focuses not only on the verbal idioms, but, furthermore, on the valence of light-verb constructions. Relating to the theoretical status of the valence of these constructions, there exist partially controversial discussions in the latest research which will be illustrated below. Problems of describing these phenomena from a lexicographical perspective will be elaborated in the following. As a last point, a specific phenomenon will be approached that can be classified into the ‘phraseological irregularities’; the so-called ‘valence irregularities’. Furthermore, the article demonstrates that a satisfying description of the valence of phraseologisms can only be accomplished with the help of a corpus-based approach.
Clichés, an Understudied Subclass of Phrasemes
Authors: Mel’čuk Igor
Published: May 2017

Natural languages have three major families of phrasemes:

- Lexical phrasemes (phraseologized phrases): kick the bucket, black box, pay a visit, if you know what I mean.

- Morphological phrasemes (phraseologized wordforms, see [Beck & Mel’čuk 2011]): for+get, light+house, in+dispens+able.

- Constructional, or syntactic, phrasemes (phraseologized constructions, or phrase schemata): “X(N) VINF?!?”, as in John be afraid?!?

For more details on phrasemes within the Meaning-Text framework, see (Mel’čuk 2015: 336-340).

This paper proposes an overview of an important subclass of lexical phrasemes that has not been as yet paid sufficient attention: cliches.

First, a typology of lexical phrasemes is presented, with the definitions that underlie the subsequent discussion; this provides a formal framework for the description of cliches (Section 1). Second, the class of cliches is examined and a typology of cliches is proposed, based on the type of the cliche’s referent (Section 2). Third, a dimension for restrictions on the use of lexemic expressions in particular situations of linguistic communication is introduced-namely, a pragmatic constraint. Applied to cliches, it defines a subclass of a subclass of cliches- pragmatemes (Section 3).
Metaphorical imagery of honour and dishonour in Hindi phraseology
Authors: Sharma Sunil
Published: May 2017

Being inspired by the Cognitive Theory of Metaphor (Lakoff and Johnson 2003) and the theory of Symbols in Language and Culture (Dobrovol’skij and Piirainen 1996), the current research article aims at analysis of metaphorical image components, symbolic motivational factors and cultural aspects which are associated with the socio-cultural concepts honour and dishonour in Hindi phraseological expressions. By analyzing the conceptualization of these socioculturally prevalent concepts, this research article attempts to explore the potential of marginalized Hindi phraseology for further theoretical contribution to the international phraseology research.
On Pawley’s conjecture
Authors: Kuiper Koenraad
Published: May 2017

This paper shows that Pawley’s conjecture that the frequency of lexical items in text corpora is positively correlated with the number of phrasal lexical items which have those lexical items as heads of phrase is confirmed. Data for testing Pawley’s conjecture are taken from two sources: Kilgarriff’s lemmatized frequency lists from the BNC of the 6,318 words which appear more than 800 times (http://www.kilgarriff.co.uk) and the around 14,000 PLIs in the Syntactically Annotated Idiom Dictionary (Kuiper et al., 2003). Why this statistical fact should be the case is a matter for further research.
Multiword Modifiers in some Romance languages. Semantic formats and syntactic templates
Authors: Piunno Valentina
Published: May 2017

This paper focuses on a specific type of Multiword Expressions, particularly widespread in Italian as well as in other Romance languages: Multiword Modifiers, i.e. prepositional phrases functioning as modifiers of a noun (Multiword Adjectives) and of a verb (Multiword Adverbs). Exploiting both syntactic and semantic analysis, this paper explores the hypothesis that Multiword Modifiers are formed on the basis of regular syntactic templates, which can structure and organize the semantic information associated with words. In this perspective, after a brief presentation of Multiword Lexical Units and the class of Multiword Modifiers, the methodology and the general theoretical framework of this study will be explained. The last section is devoted to the analysis of some semantic relations frequently fulfilled by Multiword Modifiers of Italian, French and Spanish. This investigation aims at demonstrating that all Romance languages considered make a regular use of this kind of analytical resource in adjectival or adverbial function, showing similar patterns and syntactic templates.
