Anthropology & Photography 2010 - 2016
Authors: Malysse Stéphane
Published: June 2017

'Malysse, o antropólogo-travesti' é um projeto artístico que nasce de minha prática como antropólogo. Comecei a colecionar roupas étnicas em uma viagem ao Peru em 2010, numa espécie de extensão de meu trabalho como professor de antropologia da Universidade de São Paulo e do curso de etnografia têxtil, que tratava dos aspectos culturais da vestimenta, olhando para as modas não-ocidentais desde uma vertente etnográfica. Foi diante destas modas de alhures – exóticas e acessíveis, estranhas e vestíveis – que me ocorreu me trasvestir; me tornar um travesti transcultural...

A fotografia passou por diversas transformações tecnológicas desde sua criação, em 1839, até se tornar uma das tecnologias mais difundidas, acessível em smartphones e outros dispositivos amplamente utilizados. O livro de Wagner Souza e Silva, resgata essa trajetória para propor reflexões sobre como tais transformações influenciaram as práticas artísticas e sociais da fotografia.
Notas da superfície da imagem: fotografia, pós-colonialismo e modernismo vernacular
Authors: Pinney Christopher
Published: June 2017

Christipher Pinney apresenta uma discussão sobre como tradições fotográficas locais respondem às demandas visuais da fotografia colonial. Enquanto os esquemas coloniais tentavam fixar identidades colonizadas dentro de certezas cronotrópicas, a fotografia pós-colonial procura negar isso colocando seus referentes na superfície. As identidade, nesse caso, são móveis. O autor começa com a perspectiva cartesiana da fotografia europeia, na qual o "mundo era uma pintura", refletindo sobre sua certeza temporal, espacial e racionalidade. O homem era separado da natureza e, portanto, possuía um olhar panóptico, divino, observador do mundo. Contra isto, Pinney descreve as "estratégias de superfície", perspectivas barrocas que emergem no contexto pós-colonial como, por exemplo, na fotografia indiana realizada em um estúdio fotográfico onde a utilização de uma miríade variada de cenários, reflete uma relutância em fixar corpos no tempo e no espaço evidenciando a mutabilidade do corpo no tempo e no espaço. Ao descrever a superfície impenetrável e opaca na prática fotográfica pós-colonial, ele mostra como aqueles fotografados são capazes de retribuir o olhar do espectador. Esta superfície pode assim ser lida como um local de uma "auto-montagem das identidades pós-coloniais".Tradução de: Janaína Sant'Ana de Andrade.
Avaliação de Variáveis Pedológicas como Subsídio para Interpretação do Tempo das Superfícies Geomorfológicas em Sistemas Deposicionais Marinhos de Clima Tropical Úmido
Authors: Perez Filho Archimedes , Rubira Felipe Gomes
Published: June 2017

Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar a eficiência do método pedológico (aplicado em sistemas fluviais) por Perez Filho et al. (1980), em sistemas deposicionais marinhos. Portanto, objetivou averiguar se os valores das variáveis obtidas (CTC, V%, relação silte/argila e areia fina/areia grossa) são condizentes com o grau de intemperização dos materiais superficiais e provável tempo das superfícies geomorfológicas, a partir de correlações baseadas na posição altimétrica das formas elaboradas em sistemas costeiros. Verificou-se que a metodologia adotada por Perez Filho et al. (1980) em terraços fluviais mostrou-se coerente, entretanto, tornou-se ineficiente para a análise de níveis geomorfológicos elaborados em sistemas marinhos. Notou-se que o único nível que apresentou processos pedogenéticos de maturidade pedológica e avançado intemperismo químico dos minerais primários corresponde à superfície geomorfológica I. Nos níveis II e III não se verificou a atuação dos fatores de formação do solo, observaram-se deposições sedimentares recentes, constantemente retrabalhadas pela dinâmica erosiva/deposicional costeira, fato que impossibilitou o desenvolvimento de um perfil pedogenético segundo o conceito de solos utilizado pela literatura pedológica. Diferentemente do método aplicado por Perez Filho et al. (1980), em superfícies elaboradas em sistemas fluviais, onde a única variável que não apresentou correlação com o tempo das superfícies geomorfológicas e grau de intemperismo dos materiais se referiu a relação areia fina/areia grossa, a aplicação em ambientes deposicionais marinhos evidenciou situação inversa.
Solos e Evolução da Paisagem em Ambiente Periglacial na Península Barton, Antártica Marítima

Published: June 2017

As baixas disponibilidade de água líquida e temperatura na Antártica condicionam a formação de solos incipientes. Condições climáticas menos severas na Antártica Marítima permitem o maior desenvolvimento de solos, com maior cobertura vegetal e intemperismo químico mais significativo. A Península Barton, localizada na Ilha Rei George (Antártica Marítima), possui solos derivados de litologias diversas, com destaque para o basalto/andesito piritizado, representando a área de maior extensão de materias sulfídicos na região. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o papel do relevo na gênese de solos sulfatados e sua relação com a evolução da paisagem. Os solos foram classificados de acordo com a Soil Taxonomy e WRB/FAO. Foram descritos três perfis em toposequência e analisados seus atributos morfológicos, físicos, químicos e mineralógicos. A crioclastia está presente como um processo pedogenético, mas o que se destaca é o grau evolutivo dos solos associado à acidificação pela oxidação dos sulfetos. Esse processo promove a liberação de elementos como o Fe, que são mobilizados por influência do relevo. Consequentemente, formam-se niveis encouraçados, isto é, horizontes petroplínticos, caracterizando uma transformação da cobertura pedológica. A gênese destes solos demonstra que a paisagem periglacial é dinâmica e de profundo interesse das investigações pedogeomorfológicas.
Endemismo Pedológico e os Solos da Ilha da Trindade – Atlântico Sul, Brasil
Authors: Machado Mariana De Resende , Oliveira Fábio Soares de , Schaefer Carlos Ernesto G. R. , Almeida Eliane De Paula Clemente
Published: June 2017

A combinação de fatores em condições únicas ou atípicas resultará na formação de solos também únicos. Quando essas mesmas condições estiverem presentes em áreas diferentes, o resultado da pedogênese será a formação de solos com características muito semelhantes entre si. Nesse sentido, o endemismo se aplica aos solos a partir dos preceitos da teoria dos fatores e processos pedogenéticos. Dentre todos os ambientes emersos da Terra, ilhas oceânicas são áreas promissoras para surgimento de endemismo, tanto ecológico quanto pedológico. Assim este trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar os solos da Ilha da Trindade, Atlântico Sul, passiveis de serem considerados como endêmicos. Isso foi feito a partir da caracterização dos atributos morfológicos, fisicos e químicos de cinco solos. Os resultados apontam que em Trindade os materiais de origem incomuns (rochas vulcânicas jovens e sedimentos bioclásticos carbonáticos), os ambientes de exceção (florestas de samambaias gigantes em escarpas influenciadas pela umidade orográfica) e as interações específicas entre substratos e atividade biológica (colonização da avifauna, ornitogênese e fosfatização) são os potenciais produtores de tais solos endêmicos. Trindade se caracteriza, neste sentido, como um espaço único para os estudos pedológicos e a preservação de seus solos é uma tarefa indispensável à manutenção do equilibrio entre os distintos geo-eco-sistemas.

Measurement of plasma aldosterone and renin concentration, or activity, is useful for selecting antihypertensive agents and detecting hyperaldosteronism in hypertensive patients. However, it takes several days to get results when measured by radioimmunoassay and development of more rapid assays has been long expected. We have developed chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassays enabling the simultaneous measurement of both aldosterone and renin concentrations in 10 minutes by a fully automated assay using antibody-immobilized magnetic particles with quick aggregation and dispersion. We performed clinical validation of diagnostic ability of this newly developed assay-based screening of 125 patients with primary aldosteronism from 97 patients with essential hypertension. Results of this novel assay significantly correlated with the results of radioimmunoassay (aldosterone, active renin concentration, and renin activity) and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (aldosterone). The analytic sensitivity of this particularly novel active renin assay was 0.1 pg/mL, which was better than that of radioimmunoassay (2.0 pg/mL). The ratio of aldosterone-to-renin concentrations of 6.0 (ng/dL per pg/mL) provided 92.0% sensitivity and 76.3% specificity as a cutoff for differentiating primary aldosteronism from essential hypertension. This novel measurement is expected to be a clinically reliable alternative for conventional radioimmunoassay and to provide better throughput and cost effectiveness in diagnosis of hyperaldosteronism from larger numbers of hypertensive patients in clinical settings.

Preeclampsia is a common pregnancy-specific vascular disorder characterized by new-onset hypertension and proteinuria during the second half of pregnancy. Predisposition to preeclampsia is in part heritable. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. We have sequenced 124 candidate genes implicated in preeclampsia to pinpoint genetic variants contributing to predisposition to or protection from preeclampsia. First, targeted exomic sequencing was performed in 500 preeclamptic women and 190 controls from the FINNPEC cohort (Finnish Genetics of Preeclampsia Consortium). Then 122 women with a history of preeclampsia and 1905 parous women with no such history from the National FINRISK Study (a large Finnish population survey on risk factors of chronic, noncommunicable diseases) were included in the analyses. We tested 146 rare and low-frequency variants and found an excess (observed 13 versus expected 7.3) nominally associated with preeclampsia (
P
<0.05). The most significantly associated sequence variants were protective variants rs35832528 (E982A;
P
=2.49E-4; odds ratio=0.387) and rs141440705 (R54S;
P
=0.003; odds ratio=0.442) in Fms related tyrosine kinase 1. These variants are enriched in the Finnish population with minor allele frequencies 0.026 and 0.017, respectively. They may also be associated with a lower risk of heart failure in 11 257 FINRISK women. This study provides the first evidence of maternal protective genetic variants in preeclampsia.
Influences of individual phenotypic traits on the habitat preferences of the sand fiddler crab, Uca pugilator
Authors: Knotts Eilea R.
Published: June 2017

Recognizing which phenotypic traits are predictors for habitat choice can have important implications for understanding population dynamics. This study determined whether body size, sex, activity level, or origin habitat affected the preference of the fiddler crab, Uca pugilator, in selecting either a marsh or open mudflat, two habitats differing in risk level and food availability. Combining field and laboratory experiments, this study indicated a significant difference in body size and activity level of crabs between habitats. Further investigation of phenotypic dependency on habitat preference resulted in interactions between origin habitat and carapace width and activity level. When split by origin habitat, habitat preference for the open mudflat was predicted by body size for crabs originating from the open mudflat and by activity level for the crabs originating from the Spartina marsh. These results suggest that, for U. pugilator, body size plays a large role in the preference for exposed habitat.
‘Milksops’ and ‘Bemedalled Old Men’: War Veterans and the War Youth Generation in the Weimar Republic
Authors: Mennen Kristian
Published: June 2017

This article reconsiders traditional assumptions about the connection between the First World War and the rise of National Socialism in Germany, according to which politically radicalised war veterans joined the Freikorps after the war and formed the backbone of the Nazi membership and electorate. In questioning this view, the article first traces the political paths of actual veterans’ organisations. Whereas the largest veterans’ organisations were not politically active, the most distinctive ones – Reichsbanner and Stahlhelm – were not primarily responsible for a ‘brutalisation’ or radicalisation of Weimar political culture. Their definitions of ‘veteran’ and ‘front experience’ implicitly excluded the so-called ‘war youth generation’ from their narrative. Secondly, it is shown how representatives of this younger generation, lacking actual combat experience but moulded by war propaganda, determined the collective imagination of the First World War. The direct connection between the First World War and National Socialism can therefore primarily be found in the continuity of public and cultural imagination of war and of ‘war veterans’, and much less so in actual membership overlaps between veterans’ and Nazi movements.
War Veterans, Fascism, and Para-Fascist Departures in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, 1918–1941
Authors: Newman John Paul
Published: June 2017

This article discusses the role played by war veterans in the various fascist and para-fascist groups present in Yugoslavia in the interwar period. The article finds that significant numbers of veterans and the nationalist associations to which they belonged contributed to proposed or actual departures from the democratic norm in interwar Yugoslavia, and were especially supportive of King Aleksandar Karadjordjevic’s dictatorship of 1929–1934. In this respect, they could be termed ‘para-fascist’. The article also notes that whilst the two groups typically identified in the literature as ‘fascist’, the Croatian Ustashe and Serbian/Yugoslav Zbor, fit into the ‘second-wave’ of 1930s fascist forces not usually marked by a strong presence of First World War veterans, their membership and ideological organisation were nevertheless significantly influenced by both the traditions of the war and the men who fought in it.

Taxonomic notes on Spirotaenia (Mesotaeniaceae, Zygnematophyceae) from a Brazilian phytotelm habitat: new species and new records
Authors: RAMOS GERALDO JOSÉ PEIXOTO , BICUDO CARLOS EDUARDO DE MATTOS , MOURA CARLOS WALLACE DO NASCIMENTO
Published: June 2017

The saccoderm desmids Spirotaenia endospira and Spirotaenia closteridia, species thus far unknown from the southern hemisphere, are described from Serra da Jiboia, northeast Brazil. Spirotaenia filiformis sp. nov. was also recorded in this area and described as new species. In the present study, Spirotaenia species were collected from Alcantarea nahoumii tanks, an endangered Brazilian bromeliad species. The newly described S. filiformis is primarily characterized by a high cell length to breadth ratio (17–31) and a parietal chloroplast with 3.5–8.5 turns. All three species were discussed for possible affiliations with other Spirotaenia taxa. From this study, the knowledge on genus Spirotaenia in Brazil has been expanded to four species currently confirmed: Spirotaenia closteridia, S. condensata, S. endospira, and S. filiformis.

Published: June 2017

Two new species of the Brazilian endemic genus Acritopappus from Chapada Diamantina, in Bahia state, are described. The new species, A. jacobaeus, is rather similar to A. micropappus also from the NE area of Chapada Diamantina, but differs from this species by its petiolate, papyraceous, smaller leaves with acute apex, and sessile, grouped capitula with much lesser number of florets and receptacular paleae. The new species A. stenophyllus is rather similar to A. confertus, the most widely distributed species in the genus, but its shrubby habit, glandulose branches, much narrower leaves with glandulose petioles, capitula often isolated or grouped in pairs, longer corollas, and characteristic ecological requirements justified its taxonomic recognition with respect to the latter. The new species are illustrated, and the affinities between the morphologically related species and the two new species are discussed.

Published: June 2017

Allium pseudotelmatum, a new species of A. sect. Codonoprasum, is described from the southern Dalmatia (Croatia). It is a late-summer flowering species with pentaploid (2n = 40) chromosome complement, occurring in synanthropic habitats (Citrus orchards with nutrient rich and fresh moist soil). Karyology, leaf anatomy, morphology, ecology, molecular (ITS) and taxonomic relationships with related species are examined for the species. It shows morphological relationships with the northern Dalmatian species A. telmatum from which it well differentiates for many morphological characters including the presence of aerial bulbils within the inflorescence, phenology, chromosome number and ecology. Confusion of A. pseudotelmatum with some specimens of A. oleraceum due to the presence of bulbils within the inflorescence is discussed.

Homofobia w polskiej kulturze wizualnej jako „nieodkryta” reakcja na przemiany norm seksualnych w Polsce po 1989 roku
Authors: Knut Paweł
Published: June 2017

Homophobia in Polish visual culture  as an “undiscovered” response to the transformation  of sexual norms in Poland after 1989This article discusses the basic characteristics of various artistic practices aimed at stigmatizing nonheterosexuality that occurred in Poland after 1989 in response to a transformation of sexual norms and the rising emancipation of LGBT people. The form and content of selected practices is discussed in detail. Furthermore, the article argues that these practices can be classified as a form of so-called New National Art and signals the maladjustment of the language used by Polish art critique, which foreignizes and pathologizes this kind of art. The author also touches on the phenomenon of deliberate “not discovering” of these practices by national art institutions. Finally, he shows why the absence of artistic practices focused on exclusion and stigmatization of LGBT people seems to be beneficial for both major Polish art institutions and the “excluded” artists.  Homofobia w polskiej kulturze wizualnej jako „nieodkryta” reakcja na przemiany norm seksualnych w Polsce po 1989 rokuArtykuł omawia podstawowe cechy praktyk artystycznych piętnujących nieheteroseksualność, które wystąpiły w Polsce po 1989 roku na skutek przemian norm seksualnych i zapoczątkowania procesu emancypacji osób LGBT. Charakteryzuje formy, jakie ta twórczość przyjmuje oraz treści, jakie wyraża. Wskazuje również na zasadność zaklasyfikowania tego rodzaju twórczości jako odmiany tzw. Nowej Sztuki Narodowej. Sygnalizuje problemy związane z używanym przez polską krytykę sztuki języka, który egzotyzuje i patologizuje tego rodzaju twórczość. Odnosi się również do zjawiska zamierzonego „nieodkrywania” tych praktyk artystycznych przez krajowe instytucje sztuki. Wreszcie, wskazuje dlaczego ta celowa nieobecność praktyki artystycznej nakierowanej na wykluczanie i piętnowanie osób LGBT wydaje się korzystna zarówno dla najważniejszych polskich instytucji sztuki, jak i dla „wykluczonych” twórców.
From assimilation, through transformation to studies within relationships: Understandings of nonheteronormative motherhood and ways forward
Authors: Kot Małgorzata
Published: June 2017

From assimilation, through transformation to studies within relationships: Understandings of nonheteronormative motherhood and ways forwardNonheteronormative motherhood has been explored in many studies so far, aiming to explore the strategies of women who develop and maintain kinships in patriarchal settings. So far, the approaches to motherhood beyond hetero/normativity have been mostly focused on considering either assimilationist strategies or transformational potential of families of choice. In this article I would like to propose one of the possible ways enabling us to avoid these approaches. I argue that Rosi Braidotti’s framework of nomadic subjectivity and considering nonheteronormative motherhood as embodied experience might provide us with a lens through which we can look at mothering as de-centred, continuous becoming on a daily basis. Od asymilacji poprzez transformację do studiów w ramach relacji: rozumienia nieheteronormatywnego macierzyństwa i drogi na przyszłośćNieheteronormatywne macierzyństwo było do tej pory zgłębiane w wielu badaniach, mających na celu poznanie strategii kobiet, które tworzą i podtrzymują więzi w patriarchalnym otoczeniu. Dotychczas podejścia do macierzyństwa poza hetero/normatywnością były skupione przede wszystkim na rozważaniu asymilacyjnych strategii bądź transformatywnego potencjału rodzin z wyboru. W niniejszym artykule chciałabym zaproponować jedno z podejść umożliwiające uniknięcie wcześniejszych strategii. Dowodzę, że koncepcja nomadycznej tożsamości Rosi Braidotti oraz rozważanie nieheteronormatywnego macierzyństwa jako ucieleśnionego doświadczenia może zapewnić nam soczewkę, dzięki której możemy spojrzeć na macierzyństwo jako zdecentralizowany, ciągły proces codziennego stawania się matką.
Od dawnego do współczesnego Poznania w kryminale
Authors: Nowak Marta
Published: June 2017

From old-time to modern Poznań in detective storiesThe article discusses the image of Poznań in detective fiction written after 1989. The criminal stories were selected in such a way that their action takes place in different times, the purpose of the paper is to show how the choice of names affects the understanding of the novel’s content and compare the names used by the author with the real urban nomenclature with that of Poznan, both presently and in the period in which the piece is set. The main question posed is whether the time of action influences the selection of proper names and how the proper names were chosen for novels in which action takes place in earlier periods: whether the author uses historical urbanonyms, present ones or adopts a different strategy altogether. The article aims to show how the picture of Poznań is created in detective stories and how much it corresponds to reality. Od dawnego do współczesnego Poznania w kryminaleArtykuł pokazuje obraz Poznania w kryminałach napisanych po roku 1989. Kryminały zostały wybrane w taki sposób, aby ich akcja rozgrywała się w różnych czasach. Celem pracy jest pokazanie, jak dobór nazw własnych wpływa na zrozumienie treści dzieła oraz porównanie nazw z ówczesnym i współczesnym nazewnictwem miejskim Poznania. Główne pytanie stawiane w pracy dotyczy tego, czy czas akcji wpływa na dobór onimów oraz jak wygląda dobór onimów w kryminałach z akcją osadzoną we wcześniejszych latach. Czy autor odzwierciedla w powieści funkcjonujące wówczas realnie urbanonimy, opiera się na stanie współczesnym, czy obiera jeszcze inną strategię? Artykuł ma pokazać, jak kształtuje się przestrzeń Poznania w kryminale i czy historycznie oraz współcześnie odpowiada stanowi faktycznemu.

Authors: Gowda Guru S , Gopika G , Manjunatha Narayana , Kumar Channaveerachari Naveen , Yadav Ravi , Srinivas Dwarakanath , Rose Dawn Bharath , Math Suresh Bada
Published: June 2017

Objectives:

A significant number of homeless mentally ill (HMI) patients without any personal, family or other identification details represent a unique problem in the psychiatric services of developing countries like India in the context of legal, humanitarian and treatment issues. These patients pose challenge to the mental health professional in diagnosis and management.

Aims:

To study the sociodemographic and clinical profiles of HMI patients admitted under psychiatry.

Methods:

We performed a retrospective chart review of ‘HMI’ patients from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2015, who were admitted to the Department of Psychiatry at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India. Sociodemographic and clinical profiles of the patients were analyzed by descriptive statistics.

Results:

Mean age of the sample was 34.6 years (±12.21 years), 42 (53.8%) were females, 74 (94.9%) were registered as Medico Legal Case and 53 (80.8%) were admitted under reception order issued by a magistrate. HMI patients brought by police were 32 (41.0%), by the public were 32 (41.0%) and 14 (18.0%) by nongovernmental organization /ambulance/social worker. In total, 51 (65.4%) of them had schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, 24 (30.8%) had mental retardation and 23 (29.5%) had a comorbid substance use disorder. The mean Clinical Global Impression severity at admission was 5.07 (±1.7), and the mean duration of inpatient care was 15 weeks. Anemia and malnutrition were found in 34 (43.6%) and 25 (32.1%) patients, respectively.

Conclusion:

This study shows that schizophrenia, comorbid mental retardation and substance use disorder are common causes of admission of HMI patients in psychiatry. It is an emerging problem, which needs urgent interventions, and there is a need for an efficient system, guidelines and collaboration with government and nongovernmental agencies.
Strategies of cities in globalised interurban competition: The locational policies framework
Authors: Kaufmann David , Arnold Tobias
Published: June 2017

Globalised interurban competition affects cities of various sizes and cities in various locations. Cities have to find ways to position themselves in global markets by formulating locational policies. To capture this wide range of policies, this paper develops an analytical framework of locational policies that is interdisciplinary informed by theories of economic geography and political science. We compare the cities of Lucerne and Ulm to illustrate the added value of the locational policies framework. We found that these two cities feature very different locational policies agendas. By employing a neo-institutional lens, we suggest that place-specific factors enable and constrain the formulation of locational policies. We outline three possible venues to tentatively explain these different locational policies, namely the economic sector mix, the national tax system, and politics. Beyond these empirical findings, this paper shows that the locational policies framework is able to capture a wide range of policies that aim to enhance the competitiveness of a city. Thus, the locational policies framework is a tool that can be used to reveal how cities face the globalised, and increasingly knowledge-intensive, interurban competition.
“I Am Not Co-op!”: The Struggle over Middle-Class Housing in 1970s New York
Authors: Holtzman Benjamin
Published: June 2017

In 1970s New York, landlords and major real estate associations argued that New York could stem the exodus of middle-income residents by creating greater opportunities for homeownership in a city that had long been dominated overwhelmingly by renters. They proposed converting middle-income rental housing into cooperatives, a process that would also enable former landlords to profit handsomely. Tenants, however, widely rejected apartment ownership, preferring the security of rent-regulated housing. This article traces the ensuing struggles between tenants, the real estate industry, and city officials over the nature of moderate- and middle-income housing in New York. The eventual success of the real estate industry enabled cooperative conversions to expand dramatically in the 1980s, but only by bargaining with tenants and activists, offering tenants noneviction plans, and discounting prices. This process helped to transform the city by underwriting a momentous turnaround in the real estate market, while signaling a larger embrace of market deregulation.
Heidegger’s Radical Antisemitism
Authors: Love Jeff , Meng Michael
Published: June 2017

With the publication of Martin Heidegger’s Black Notebooks, it has become impossible to avoid Heidegger’s anti-Semitism. There has been the expected controversy with Heideggerians on the defensive and the philosopher’s detractors condemning his work outright. But there has been little serious exploration of the matter aside from several recent works. This article builds on this literature on Heidegger’s anti-Semitism and concludes that an anti-Semitic narrative lies at the heart of Heidegger’s history of the oblivion of Being as nihilism. Moreover, Heidegger adopts the narrative framework set up by Friedrich Nietzsche in On the Genealogy of Morality. In the end, we assert that Heidegger advocates a kind of war against Judaism that seeks to eradicate the Jewish influence in the western tradition. Heidegger’s ‘metaphysical’ anti-Semitism aims to overcome the nihilism of the ‘Jewish Christian’ revenge [ Rache] against death, a nihilism that has evolved into the technological effort to make everything secure.

Published: June 2017

Background

The computed tomography angiography (CTA) spot sign represents active contrast extravasation within acute primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is an independent predictor of hematoma expansion (HE) and poor clinical outcomes. The spot sign could be detected on first-pass CTA (fpCTA) or delayed CTA (dCTA).

Purpose

To investigate the additional benefits of dCTA spot sign in primary ICH and hematoma size for predicting spot sign.

Material and Methods

This is a retrospective study of 100 patients who underwent non-contrast CT (NCCT) and CTA within 24 h of onset of primary ICH. The presence of spot sign on fpCTA or dCTA, and hematoma size on NCCT were recorded. The spot sign on fpCTA or dCTA for predicting significant HE, in-hospital mortality, and poor clinical outcomes (mRS ≥ 4) are calculated. The hematoma size for prediction of CTA spot sign was also analyzed.

Results

Only the spot sign on dCTA could predict high risk of significant HE and poor clinical outcomes as on fpCTA ( P < 0.05). With dCTA, there is increased sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) for predicting significant HE, in-hospital mortality, and poor clinical outcomes. The XY value (product of the two maximum perpendicular axial dimensions) is the best predictor (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.82) for predicting spot sign on fpCTA or dCTA in the absence of intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Conclusion

This study clarifies that dCTA imaging could improve predictive performance of CTA in primary ICH. Furthermore, the XY value is the best predictor for CTA spot sign.
High-Frequency Ventilation Modalities as Salvage Therapy for Smoke Inhalation–Associated Acute Lung Injury: A Systematic Review
Authors: Miller Andrew C. , Ferrada Paula A. , Kadri Sameer S. , Nataraj-Bhandari Krupa , Vahedian-Azimi Amir , Quraishi Sadeq A.
Published: June 2017

Background:

Smoke inhalation–associated acute lung injury (SI-ALI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in victims of fire tragedies. To date, there are no evidence-based guidelines on ventilation strategies in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after smoke inhalation. We reviewed the existing literature for clinical studies of salvage mechanical ventilation (MV) strategies in patients with SI-ALI, focusing on mortality and pneumonia as outcomes.

Methods:

A systematic search was designed in accordance with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Risk of bias assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS; 0 to 9 stars), with a score ≥7 being the threshold for inclusion in the meta-analysis. A systematic search strategy was used to search 10 databases. Clinical studies were included in which patients: (1) experienced smoke inhalation, (2) treated with MV, and (3) described a concurrent or historical control group.

Results:

A total of 226 potentially relevant studies were identified, of which 7 studies on high-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) met inclusion criteria. No studies met inclusion for meta-analysis (NOS ≥ 7). In studies comparing HFPV to conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV), mortality and pneumonia incidence improved in 3 studies and remained unchanged in 3 others. No change in ventilator days or ICU length of stay was observed; however, oxygenation and work of breathing improved with HFPV.

Conclusions:

Mechanical ventilation in patients with SI-ALI has not been well studied. High-frequency percussive ventilation may decrease in-hospital mortality and pneumonia incidence when compared to CMV. The absence of “good” quality evidence precluded meta-analysis. Based upon low-quality evidence, there was a very weak recommendation that HFPV use may be associated with lower mortality and pneumonia rates in patients with SI-ALI. Given SI-ALI’s unique underlying pathophysiology, and its potential implications on therapy, randomized controlled studies are required to ensure that patients receive the safest and most effective care.

Trial Registration:

The study was registered with PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (#47015).
Coordinated robust control based on extended state observer of dual-arm space robot with closed chain for transferring a target
Authors: Cheng Jing , Chen Li
Published: June 2017

The coordinated control problem of free-floating dual-arm space robot with closed chain is discussed. First, dynamic equations of the open-chain space robot system with virtual cut-off point are obtained by Lagrangian equation; the constraint equations of closed loop are derived by the kinematics analysis. The dynamic equations without redundant degree of freedom of dual-arm space robot with closed chain are established by the constraint equations and the theory of pseudo-inverse. Second, in order to achieve excellent tracking performance, the robust control based on extended state observer is proposed for the closed-chain system with uncertain inertial parameters. The unknown part of the closed-chain system is compensated by an extended state observer. The global uniform ultimate boundedness stability with exponential convergence is proven by the Lyapunov’s theory. For the existence of the controller redundancy, based on the weighted minimum-norm theory and pseudo-inverse theory, the joint inputs are distributed for each joint to guarantee the uniqueness of joints trajectory. At last, the numerical simulation is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
Holding Firm: Power, Push-Back, and Opportunities in Navigating the Liminal Space of Critical Qualitative Health Research
Authors: Hart Corinne , Poole Jennifer M. , Facey Marcia E. , Parsons Janet A.
Published: June 2017

Critical qualitative health researchers typically occupy and navigate liminal academic spaces and statuses, with one foot planted in the arts and social sciences and the other in biomedical science. We are at once marginalized and empowered, and this liminality presents both challenges and opportunities. In this article, we draw on our experiences of being (often the lone) critical qualitative health scholars on thesis advisory committees and dissertation examinations, as well as our experiences of publishing and securing funding, to illuminate how power and knowledge relations create conditions that shape the nature of our roles. We share strategies we have developed for standing our theoretical and methodological ground. We discuss how we use the power of our liminality to hold firm, push back, and push forward, to ensure that critical qualitative research is not further relegated to the margins and its quality and integrity sustained.
Using Self-Monitoring of Performance With Self-Graphing to Increase Academic Productivity in Math

Published: June 2017

Self-regulation skills have been found to be an important predictor of achievement in mathematics. Teaching a student to regulate his or her behavior during independent math work sessions using self-monitoring of performance with self-graphing focuses him or her on academic performance and results in increases in productivity and math proficiency. This article describes the process of designing and implementing this intervention.
Chronic fatigue syndrome patients have no reason to accept the PACE trial results: Response to Keith J Petrie and John Weinman
Authors: Agardy Susanna
Published: June 2017

Petrie and Weinman urge chronic fatigue syndrome patients to move on from their beliefs about their illness and accept the findings of thePACE trial. This is unreasonable in view of the failure of PACE to achieve evidence of recovery through cognitive behaviour therapy and graded exercise therapy in either self-reports or the objective measure of the 6-minute walking test. Contrary to their suggestion, the Institute of Medicine describes chronic fatigue syndrome not as psychological but as a serious, chronic, systemic disease, with post-exertional malaise as its main feature which inhibits exercise. Linking debate about PACE with intimidation of researchers is unjustifiable and damaging to patients.
Turkey’s news media landscape in Twitter: Mapping interconnections among diversity
Authors: Doğu Burak
Published: June 2017

Twitter plays a substantial role in shaping the online news media landscape, which is established on the interconnections between various actors. This research conducts network analysis in Twitter with the aim to explore Turkey’s polarized news media landscape in the aftermath of the Gezi protests. The findings, based on a relational approach, are analyzed at four levels: identifying the actors, positioning the actors and examining connections among their clusters, exploring the patterns of news diffusion, and reviewing media polarization. It has been found that distinct conditions such as intermedia differences apply to each one of those levels, while polarization is evident in the network.
Power revealed: masking police officers in the public sphere
Authors: Ruiz Pollyanna
Published: June 2017

Demonstrations which spill over into conflict have always required the police to distinguish between members of the public exercising their right to protest and members of the public engaging in criminal activity, i.e. between ‘good protesters’ and ‘bad protesters’. Journalists who depended heavily upon official sources when constructing news narratives have historically reproduced these distinctions and, as a result, images of violent protesters have frequently been used to delegitimize their claims. However a number of high profile investigations into the policing of protest in the UK mean that police officers are also being subjected to distinctions made by inquiry panels between ‘good police officers’ and ‘bad police officers’. Thus a new trope is emerging in popular print and online news narratives in which the actions of the police rather than protesters are becoming the object of the public’s attention.

These dynamics are explored with reference to the ways in which confrontations between protesters and police were pictured in the aftermath of Ian Tomlinson’s death. The article focuses in particular on the way in which images highlighting acts of concealment became a significant strand in online and offline news narrative as they developed in the years between Tomlinson’s death in 2009 and the civil suit brought against PC Harwood in 2012. The author argues that images of police officers in militarized helmets and without identity tags become synonymous with the opacity that initially characterized the police force’s response to the death of Tomlinson. She concludes by suggesting that this lack of transparency contrasted with the extended visibility offered by mobile phone footage of the demonstration and contributed to the police’s inability to frame G20 protesters as violent agitators.
Editorial: Western colonial expectations and counter-narratives of women and education
Authors: Greenhalgh-Spencer Heather , Jane Aiston Sarah
Published: June 2017

When we, as authors, first started writing the papers in this special issue, the competing and colluding forces of nationalism, misogyny, Islamophobia, Western elitism, inequality, and discourses of ethnic purity had not reached the force that they have as this issue goes to print. These papers were originally thought of as a way to give voice to counter-narratives that push against Western colonial norms and expectations around gender and education; they were meant to inform a conversation about women and education at American Educational Research Association. These themes still exist in the papers as the issue goes to print, but now the papers have taken on increased force and meaning as the authors have worked and reworked the papers within a context of a rising turn toward ethnic nationalism and misogyny. The papers argue for an understanding of policy and ideology that is based in a local context. The papers push against the idea that there is a “global context” for policy and ideology because—most often— “global policy” is a shorthand way of saying Westernized policy and expectations. Thus, the papers challenge the Western-centrism of a “global” lens. However, the authors also see their work as part of a conversation—a conversation that needs to be truly global. The polarities of global conversation and attention to local contexts have shaped the articles in this special issue.
