Memorias acústicas palestino-chilenas: el caso de "Palestina por siempre"
Authors: El Attar Heba
Published: January 2019

La comunidad de inmigrantes palestinos en Chile se considera la más grande e influyente de toda la diáspora palestina fuera del Oriente Medio. A medida que se consoli- daba la integración de esa comunidad en Chile, crecía su necesidad por preservar sus ras- gos identitarios y por (re)-construir su memoria. Los medios de comunicación textuales, visuales y acústicos eran medidas ejemplares para conseguir este fin. Teniendo todo ello en cuenta, este estudio se centra en un área hasta la fecha menos estudiada, cual es los programas radiales palestino-chilenos, para examinar cómo han incidido en la (re)construcción de la memoria de los inmigrantes palestinos en Chile. A fin de estudiar esta área, este ensayo examina esos programas dentro del contexto de los medios de comunicación acústicos tanto en Palestina como en Chile. Este contexto facilita que este estudio llegue a concluir que ese cultivo del espacio acústico reflejó el compromiso de los inmi- grantes palestinos por integrarse en la sociedad de acogida tanto como por preservar su herencia cultural y devoción por la tierra de los ancestros, es decir, Palestina.
Occidente y Oriente: una nueva versión árabe de la fábula de “El padre, el hijo y el asno” en al-Andalus
Authors: Castro León Víctor
Published: January 2019

El objetivo del presente estudio es ofrecer una nueva versión árabe de la conocida fábula del “Padre, el hijo y el asno” recogida en la obra histórica Kitāb A‘māl al- a‘lām del sabio granadino del s. XIV Ibn al-Jaṭīb, situándola en su contexto histórico y socio-cultural. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo un análisis comparativo de las distintas ver- siones existentes de esta fábula tanto en la tradición latina y castellana como árabe, espe- cialmente durante los siglos XIII y XIV, con el propósito de establecer unos patrones co- munes que nos ayuden a comprender la evolución de esta fábula y las distintas posibilidades de su difusión. El estudio muestra la existencia de una versión primitiva que rápida- mente evolucionó a formas más elaboradas, coexistiendo al mismo tiempo dos o más ver- siones del relato, debido a la gran transmisión, oral y escrita, que tuvo esta fábula desde su origen oriental, en la primera mitad del s. XIII, y especialmente durante la primera mitad del s. XIII en la Península Ibérica y Europa. La versión del sabio granadino, cuyo origen directo es indudablemente árabe, presenta rasgos que llevan a pensar que el autor tuvo conocimiento de otras versiones castellanas y latinas coetáneas.
ʻAbbās Maḥmūd al-ʻAqqād (1889-1964), autorretrato de su infancia y adolescencia
Authors: Torres Calzada María Katjia
Published: January 2019

La presente investigación analiza la infancia y adolescencia (1892-1907) del célebre polígrafo egipcio y gran renovador de la poesía árabe contemporánea ʻAbbās Maḥmūd al-ʻAqqād. Las fuentes documentales utilizadas son el primer volumen de su au- tobiografía póstuma, Anā (1964), las biografías sobre su persona publicadas por los críticos literarios ʻAbd al-Fatāḥ al-Dīdī, Ŷābir Qumayḥa, Šawqī Ḍayf y Ḥamdī al-Sakkūt, las memorias de su amigo íntimo Muḥammad Ṭāhir al-Ŷabalāwī y las de Fāṭima al-Yūsuf y, por último, la información facilitada por Ṭāhir al-Ṭanāḥī, editor de la autobiografía consultada. Este estudio pretende delimitar las posibles causas de su carácter intransigente a través del método de estudio que sigue en la composición de las biografías que dedica a las grandes personalidades de la historia, denominado falsafa al-sujṭ (filosofía del desconten- to), consistente en partir de la convicción de que todo hombre que está dotado de capacidades excepcionales y de un gran talento, en realidad, compensa una debilidad física. En conclusión, se verifica que la premisa inicial de la compensación de la debilidad física con la dotación de capacidades excepcionales y de un gran talento se confirma en su caso.
Al-Sumaysir, poeta satírico testigo de las Taifas
Authors: Lirola Delgado Pilar
Published: January 2019

Se estudia la vida y la obra del poeta de origen granadino, emigrado a Almería, Abū l-Qāsim Jalaf b. Faraŷ al-Ilbīrī, conocido por el apodo peyorativo de al-Sumaysir. A través de sus versos y de las anécdotas que nos han llegado sobre él en las fuentes árabes, así como teniendo en cuenta los diversos estudios que se le han dedicado, el trabajo se acerca a su compleja trayectoria personal y a su particular visión revolucionaria de su época, el s. XI. Se aportan novedosos datos sobre su personalidad y los motivos de su exilio de Granada, al igual que sobre su vida en la corte del rey al-Mu‘taṣim de Almería. La ironía y crítica de al-Sumaysir alcanzaron a los régulos de taifas y, especialmente, a los beréberes. Es autor también de poemas de tono sentencioso, elegiaco, filosófico y ascético, junto con otros más mundanos, entre ellos atrevidos versos amorosos de inspiración homoerótica. Su poesía, aparentemente grosera, jocosa y festiva, arremete contra diversos aspectos repro- bables de la sociedad andalusí de su tiempo. Es un documento sobre su entorno sociopolítico y cultural.
La formación de intérpretes en la Escuela de Estudios Árabes de Granada
Authors: Arias Torres Juan Pablo
Published: January 2019

La Escuela de Estudios Árabes de Granada se convirtió a finales de la década de los cuarenta del pasado siglo en centro de formación inicial para traductores e intérpretes de árabe y bereber al servicio del Protectorado español en Marruecos. La consulta de su Archivo ha permitido arrojar nueva luz sobre esta iniciativa única de colaboración entre el arabismo universitario y la empresa colonial española que fue impulsada de manera activa por su entonces director Luis Seco de Lucena. El proyecto pretendía proporcionar candidatos al ingreso en el Cuerpo de Interpretación de Árabe y Bereber del Protectorado a la vez que ayudar a la supervivencia del propio arabismo universitario, necesitado de igual manera de nuevas incorporaciones. Los resultados, sin embargo, fueron pobres y efímeros. Solo dos promociones salieron de Granada rumbo a Tetuán, capital del Protectorado, para con- tinuar sus estudios y apenas cuatro candidatos llegaron a ingresar en el citado Cuerpo. Además solo uno de ellos, José Aguilera, mantuvo una reseñable actividad a caballo entre el mundo profesional de la traducción e interpretación y la universidad. Esta infructuosa experiencia ilustra una vez más las deficiencias humanas y materiales del arabismo de la época para formar profesionales del árabe.
Control, aculturación, segregación, resistencia: los padrones de asistencia a misa de los moriscos en el reino de Granada
Authors: Garrido García Carlos Javier
Published: January 2019

Este artículo analiza el control de la asistencia a misa de los moriscos del reino de Granada a través de los padrones parroquiales de la Diócesis de Guadix, situada en la zona oriental del reino, en la que era mayoritaria la población morisca. Utilizando como fuentes lo establecido en el Sínodo de 1554 y los pleitos de las Audiencias Episcopales, fuente esta última en gran medida infrautilizada hasta el momento, se ha podido valorar la importancia y evolución de las muestras de resistencia a este control, que van desde las ausencias a misa los días de guardar hasta los conatos de rebelión, lo que coadyuva a la progresiva configuración de la mentalidad del “todos son uno” por parte de las autorida- des, que acabó provocando la expulsión de los moriscos a principios del siglo XVII. El estudio también ofrece prueba documental de la profunda heterogeneidad de la comunidad morisca.
Supernatural in African Mythology
Authors: Tatarovskaya Irina
Published: January 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of the supernatural in African mythology. One of the most essential features of mythological consciousness and knowledge is the dual perception of the world: in the form of a concrete sensible perceived subject and its supersensible image. The main elements of the supernatural are: gods, spirits, totem, magic, witchcraft, etc. They have a different ontological and epistemological status and perform different functions. The article describes the symbolic character of African mythology and analyzes the structure of the symbol. It is shown that myths are “Philosophemes”, in which through a symbolic form the understanding of the nature of reality is given. The supernatural in African mythology relates to the time, which ontological foundation is the life span of the individual.
Ghana: the State of Agriculture and Prospects for Food Security in the Context of Achieving SDGs
Authors: Denisova Tatyana
Published: January 2019

For the first time in Russian African studies, the author examines the current state of agriculture, challenges and prospects for food security in Ghana, which belongs to the group of African countries that have made the most progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are a collection of 17 global goals adopted by UN member states in 2015 with a view of achieving them by 2030. The SDGs include: ending poverty in all its forms everywhere (Goal 1); ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture (2); ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages (3), etc. These goals are considered fundamental because the achievement of a number of other SDGs – for example, ensuring quality education (4), achieving gender equality (5), ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns (12), etc. – largely depends on their implementation. Ghana was commended by the world community for the significant reduction in poverty, hunger and malnutrition between 2000 and 2014, i.e. for the relatively successful implementation of the first of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs, 2000–2015) – the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger. However, SDGs require more careful study and planning of implementation measures. In order to achieve the SDGs, the Government of Ghana has adopted a number of programs, plans and projects, the successful implementation of which often stumbles upon the lack of funding and lack of coordination between state bodies, private and public organizations, foreign partners – donors and creditors, etc., which are involved in the processes of socioeconomic development of Ghana. The author determines the reasons for the lack of food security in Ghana, gives an assessment of the state of the agricultural sector, the effective development of which is a prerequisite for the reduction of poverty and hunger, primarily due to the engagement of a significant share (45%) of the economically active population in this sector. The study shows that the limited growth in food production is largely due to the absence of domestic markets and necessary roads, means of transportation, irrigation and storage infrastructure, as well as insufficient investment in the agricultural sector, rather than to a shortage of fertile land or labor.
Tunisia: Features and Lessons of the “Arab Spring”
Authors: Kofanov Ivan
Published: January 2019

The article is dedicated to the lessons of the Arab Spring. Not all conclusions from the events of 2010-2011 stood the test of time. Thus, there was no domino effect predicted by many re-searchers. The consequences of these events have also been very different for individual countries affected by the Arab Spring. Tunisia remains the only country, where democratic transit has been realised. The author shows what features of this country ensured such a result of the Arab Spring. The example of Tunisia shows the possibility of democratic transformation in the Muslim World. The question of the combination of democratic forms of government and economic development is considered. It is stressed that the delay in solving the main socio-economic problems leads to disappointment of the Tunisian population in democracy. However, the changes that have taken place in the minds of young people in particular give the hope that the victims of the Arab Spring have not been in vain and that the movement towards the economic and social progress of Tunisia, like other Arab countries, will be inevitable.

Graphing in Single Case Design Studies
Authors: Ledford Jennifer R. , Zimmerman Kathleen Nicole
Published: January 2019

Two studies regarding the graphic display of single case data are presented. First, measurement and graphical display of data from studies in highly-ranked journals in special education were assessed. Measurement of desirable behaviors rather than undesirable behaviors was common and most studies used sessions and percentages as x and y-values, respectively. Data presentation (graph ratios and number of data points and sessions per cm) were highly variable; average ratios did not align with previously-published recommendations. In the second study, 50 editorial board members of special education journals were surveyed to determine preferences for graphing ratios. Preferences did not align with recommended graphing practices and varied based on thenumber of sessions depicted on the graph.

Time-lagged associations between cognitive and cortical development from childhood to early adulthood
Authors: Estrada Eduardo , COLOM ROBERTO , Ferrer Emilio
Published: January 2019

[Paper in press. Accepted for publication in Developmental Psychology. Copyright by APA] Throughout childhood and adolescence, humans experience marked changes in cortical structure and cognitive ability. Cortical thickness and surface area, in particular, have been associated with cognitive ability. Here we ask the question: What are the time-related associations between cognitive changes and cortical structure maturation. Identifying a developmental sequence requires multiple measurements of these variables from the same individuals across time. This allows capturing relations among the variables and, thus, finding whether: (a) developmental cognitive changes follow cortical structure maturation, (b) cortical structure maturation follows cognitive changes, or (c) both processes influence each other over time. 430 children and adolescents (age range = 6.01 – 22.28 years) completed the WASI battery and were MRI scanned at three time points separated by ≈ 2 years (mean age t1 = 10.60, SD = 3.58, mean age t2=12.63, SD=3.62, mean age t3=14.49, SD=3.55). Latent Change Score (LCS) models were applied to quantify age-related relationships among the variables of interest. Our results indicate that cortical and cognitive changes related to each other reciprocally. Specifically, the magnitude or rate of the change in each variable at any occasion –and not the previous level– was predictive of later changes. These results were replicated for brain regions selected according to the coordinates identified in the Basten et al.’s (2015) meta-analysis, to the Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT, Jung & Haier, 2007) and to the whole cortex. Potential implications regarding brain plasticity and cognitive enhancement are discussed.
Resistant roots of institutional diversity across societies: An evolutionary framework
Authors: Chen Victor Zitian , Cantwell John
Published: January 2019

Consisting of formal and informal rules, cultural-cognitive schema, and routinized processes, institutions are the foundation of social life. Yet we do not have a systematic understanding of resistant roots of institutional diversity across societies. Following an evolutionary framework, we review the literature and discuss how a series of mutually exclusive and sequential “replicators” have come to jointly predispose human behaviors. Through social transmission, these replicators form lineages, which contribute to different levels of societies. We suggest that our review can provide a new research agenda regarding human behaviors in the social sciences.

Small Groups, Contexts, and Civic Engagement: A Multilevel Analysis of United States Congregational Life Survey Data
Authors: Whitehead Andrew L , Stroope Samuel
Published: January 2019

Prior research suggests that church-goers are more civically engaged than their non-church-going counterparts. Little is known, however, about how the popular phenomenon of small groups factors into this equation. In the present study, we examine relationships between small group participation at individual and congregation levels and civic engagement. Using multilevel modeling and national data on congregations and individuals from the U.S. Congregational Life Study (n = 82,044), we find that: (1) individual-level small group involvement is associated with four measures of civic engagement; (2) congregation-level small group participation is associated with both lower and higher civic engagement in the case of two outcomes; and (3) in the case of three civic outcomes, congregation-level small group participation moderates individual-level small group involvement such that small group members’ civic activity more closely resembles the lower civic engagement of small group nonparticipants. In the case of one civic outcome, at high levels of overall small group participation, small group members’ civic engagement drops below that of small group nonparticipants. Explanations for these findings, including a “crowding out” effect, are examined including their complex implications for debates regarding small groups, religious involvement, and civic engagement.
Religious Organizations and Homosexuality: The Acceptance of Gays and Lesbians in American Congregations
Authors: Whitehead Andrew L
Published: January 2019

The participation of gays and lesbians in all aspects of society is continually disputed in the United States. Religion is one of the key battlegrounds. The extent to which religious congregations include lesbians and gays in congregational life is vital to the wider debate over homosexuality because congregations consistently influence more Americans than any other voluntary social institution (Putnam 2000). Using nationally representative data from the 2006-2007 National Congregations Study this analysis investigates the level of acceptance of gays and lesbians within congregations as well as which congregations are most likely to allow lesbians and gays to become involved. I find that religious tradition, theological and political ideology, location, and demographic composition of congregations all influence the degree to which gays and lesbians are included into congregational life.
Christian America in Black and White: Racial Identity, Religious-National Group Boundaries, and Explanations for Racial Inequality
Authors: Perry Samuel , Whitehead Andrew L
Published: January 2019

Recent research suggests that, for white Americans, conflating national and religious group identities is strongly associated with racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, prompting some to argue that claims about Christianity being central to American identity are essentially about reinforcing white supremacy. Prior work has not considered, however, whether such beliefs may influence the racial views of nonwhite Americans differently from white Americans. Drawing on a representative sample of black and white Americans from the 2014 General Social Survey, and focusing on explanations for racial inequality as the outcome, we show that, contrary to white Americans, black Americans who view being a Christian as essential to being an American are actually more likely to attribute black–white inequality to structural issues and less to blacks’ individual shortcomings. Our findings suggest that, for black Americans, connecting being American to being Christian does not necessarily bolster white supremacy, but may instead evoke and sustain ideals of racial justice.

Christian Nationalism and White Racial Boundaries: Examining Whites’ Opposition to Interracial Marriage
Authors: Perry Samuel , Whitehead Andrew L
Published: January 2019

How does the convergence of national and religious identities potentially fortify white racial boundaries in the United States? Focusing on openness to racial exogamy as an indicator of racial boundaries, we examine the link between Christian nationalism and white Americans’ views toward their hypothetical daughter marrying an African American, Latino, or Asian. Drawing on theoretical insights from social identity complexity theory, we argue that the convergence of religious and national identities serves to reinforce in-group boundaries, thereby fortifying notions of white purity, and consequently, strengthening whites’ discomfort with potential race-mixing in marriage. Multivariate analyses of national survey data demonstrate that Christian nationalism is strongly associated with an increase in white Americans’ discomfort with their daughter marrying any racial minority, and particularly African Americans. We demonstrate how the convergence of religious and national identities in Christian nationalism influences whites’ regulating of racial boundaries (evidenced in intermarriage attitudes) above and beyond the independent effects of political conservatism or religious exclusivism.
Politics, Religion, Attribution Theory, and Attitudes toward Same-Sex Unions
Authors: Whitehead Andrew L
Published: January 2019

Objective: The relationship between beliefs about the cause of homosexuality, political and religious ideology, and attitudes toward same-sex unions in the United States is unclear. This study aims to examine the mediating influence and socially embedded nature of attribution beliefs at a time when attitudes toward same-sex unions are undergoing substantial changes in the American public.Method: This study employs simultaneous equation path models and a recent national, random sample of American adults (Baylor Religion Survey 2010) to test each hypothesis.Results: Results reveal that constructed opinions about the origin and controllability of homosexuality significantly influence support for same-sex unions. However, these opinions are socially embedded, especially within particular political and religious ideologies.Conclusion: These findings highlight that while widespread changes in beliefs about the cause of homosexuality may presage shifts in support for same-sex unions, many will be able to resist those shifts toward support, possibly leading to their further marginalization within society.
The role of talker familiarity in auditory distraction
Authors: Barker Brittan Ann , Elliott Emily M.
Published: January 2019

The current research employed a classic irrelevant sound effect paradigm and investigated the talker-specific content of the irrelevant speech. Specifically, we aimed to determine if the participants’ familiarity with the irrelevant speech’s talker affected the magnitude of the irrelevant sound effect. Experiment 1was an exploration of talker familiarity established in a natural listening environment(i.e. a university classroom)in which we manipulated the participants’ relationships with the talker. In Experiment 2 we manipulated the participants’ familiarity with the talker via 4 days of controlled exposure to the target talker’s audio recordings. For both Experiments1 and 2, a robust effect of irrelevant speech was found; however, regardless of the talker manipulation, talker familiarity did not influence the size of the effect. We interpreted the results within the processing view of the auditory distraction effect and highlighted the notion that talker familiarity may be more vulnerable than once thought.

Acquired B antigen in ABO blood group system: Non-secretor group 'A1' subtype, Rh positive with auto antibodies in a patient with urinary tract infection with E. coli
Authors: Nepal Bipin , Shrestha Bikash , Mahat Ravi , Adhikari Abish
Published: January 2019

This is case report of a female with “A” sub type with acquired B antigen and non-secretor status, first ever reported with this combination in Nepal, during blood grouping of a sample of a patient with urinary tract infection. The patient was referred to our center for blood grouping, cross matching and transfusion due to severe anemia.

During routine blood grouping, the red cells showed mixed field agglutination with anti-A, anti- AB and microscopic agglutination with anti-B. On serum grouping, we detected potent Anti-B and no agglutination with anti-A. There was no reaction with anti-A both at room temperature and at 37°C. Her cells were further tested with A1 Lectin and Anti-H antisera. There was strong reaction with A1 Lectin and 3+ macroscopic reaction with anti-H in addition to a positive auto-control. Her direct antiglobulin test was only +1 positive. For her “B” antigen, we acidified B antisera with HCl, which did not give any macro or microscopic agglutination with patient’s red cells. Her “Rh” status was positive and on examining the saliva, she was found to be non-secretor.

The first choice of blood group for transfusion in this case is the “A1” sub type followed by “O” blood group. As the patient had already received “A” blood group and in the presence of auto antibodies, “A subgroup” blood transfusion should be avoided in her.

Analisis juga menunjukkan bahwa ada pengaruh positif yang signifikan antara ROA pada CSR. Dengan nilai koefisien jalur positif sebesar 0,471, dapat diartikan bahwa peningkatan ROA juga akan meningkatkan CSR. Begitu juga sebaliknya, jika ROA rendah, maka akan menyebabkan CSR ikut menurun. Di sisi lain, tidak ada pengaruh yang signifikan antara jumlah Direksi terhadap CSR. Dengan nilai positif dari koefisien jalur untuk 0162, dapat diartikan bahwa peningkatan dalam ukuran Dewan Direksi juga akan meningkatkan CSR. Analisis PLS juga menunjukkan bahwa ROA, Ukuran dan DK memiliki pengaruh pada CSR dengan daya prediksi keseluruhan model untuk 0,435, atau 43,5%, sedangkan 56,5% dipengaruhi oleh faktor atau variabel lain yang tidak termasuk dalam persamaan model.

Susret svetog Franje i sultana Malik al–Kamila kao paradigma postkoncilskog međureligijskog dijaloga
Authors: Košćak Silvio
Published: January 2019

Tolerancija i prihvaćanje drugih temelj su mirnog suživota koji uvijek iznova treba biti utvrđivan. U suvremenom kontekstu ti su odnosi dovedeni u pitanje radikalnim društveno–političkim i religijskim previranjima. U radu je prikazan stav svetog Franje u dijalogu s islamom kao temelj govora Crkve o dijalogu i međureligijskoj toleranciji koji su temelj mira na svjetskoj razini, te neki elementi kuranske poruke koje islam donose u svjetlu religije mira. Istraženi su franjevački izvori s naglaskom na susret svetog Franje i egipatskog sultana Malek al–Kamila. Susret Franje i sultana promatran je u njima suvremenom kontekstu kako bi moglo biti odgovoreno na pitanje o mogućnosti susreta za trajanja križarskih ratova. Istraženi su elementi života obojice sudionika dijaloga s ciljem pokazivanja njihove paradigmatske vrijednosti, koja nadilazi srednjovjekovni kontekst.
Implementation of Halal Product Guarantee in Dental Health Services in Islamic Hospital

Published: January 2019

Islamic hospitals have the responsibility for implementing sharia service standards in all aspects, including in dental health services. As consumers, Muslim patients demand a certainty of halal status on materials used in dental treatment. Many reports said that the materials are not all halal-guaranteed. Islamic hospitals are expected to meet the needs of the Muslim community for sharia-compliant dental health services. For Muslim patients, the halal status of medical products is clearly a concern. Therefore it is necessary to protect Muslim patients when they want to use dental health services in Islamic hospitals. This is in line with a number of regulations, such as the law on hospital, the law on consumer protection, and the law on halal product guarantee. The halal product guarantee is important and feasible to be implemented to dental health services in Islamic hospitals because of the demands of Islamic hospitals to apply sharia standards and the needs of Muslim patients.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 02 April’19.

Published: January 2019

Metabolism is a delicately coordinated entity of chemical reactions. Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM) are rare congenital disorders that are mainly due to gene defect of enzymes or cofactors participating in a metabolic pathway or the transport of metabolites within a cell or between cells. The development of knowledge in basic sciences together with technology development in medical field has helped to better understand the molecular and biochemical basis of IEM. Environmental factors, ethnicity, race, consanguinity and genetic factors contribute to the increased prevalence of genetic disorders. The analytical methods have evolved over the years from thin layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to tandem mass spectrometry (TMS) including gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Their applications for È¡7_Ø‹5_g of IEM has opened the door for screening of conditions that previously required molecular testing or another methodology that was not practical for population-based screening. Future technologies such as Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization timeof- flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), has the potential for rapid and reliable identification of small metabolites and disease biomarkers in daily clinical laboratories, whereas DNA based screening by DNA microarrays or gene chips will allow much more improved diagnosis.These can be the boon to screening programs which will require excellent detection and follow-up servicesInternational Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 02 April’19.
