Fracture: The reception of the 'other' author in Aotearoa
Authors: Arathimos Michalia
Published: May 2021

The fracturing of cultural identity is a common trope in postcolonial
literatures. Traditional binaries of 'self' and 'other' are now
complicated by cultural hybridities that reflect the intersectionality
of migrant identities, indigeneity and the postcolonial national 'self'.
Where the binaries 'self' and 'other' do not hold, creative forms like
the novel can go some way towards exploring hybrid and 'other'
experiences, both as a reinscribing and reimagining of the centre, and
as a complex 'writing back'. This thesis investigates the complex
positioning of the hybrid or double-cultured individual in Aotearoa in
the last forty years. While postcolonial models have been used to expose
the exoticisation of the 'other' in fictional texts, Part One of this
thesis goes a step further by applying these models to real authors and
interrogating their representations as static objects/products in the
collective 'text' of media items written about them. Shifts in 'our'
national literary identity can be traced in changes in responses to
'other' authors over time. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the
first part of this thesis proves that there are differences in the
media‟s portrayal of six Māori and 'other' ethnic authors: Witi
Ihimaera, Keri Hulme, Kapka Kassabova, Tusiata Avia, Karlo Mila and
Cliff Fell, beginning with the 1972 publication of Ihimaera‟s Pounamu
Pounamu and ending in 2009 with Tusiata Avia‟s Bloodclot. Part One of
this thesis mixes media studies, postcolonial literary analysis, and
cultural theory, and references the work of Ghassan Hage, Graham Huggan,
Margery Fee, Patrick Evans, Mark Williams, and Simone Drichel. Part Two
of this thesis is comprised of a novel, Fracture. While Part One
constitutes an investigation of the positioning of the 'other' author,
Part Two is a creative exploration of two double-cultured and
dispossessed indigenous characters' lived experience. The novel follows a
Greek-New Zealand woman and a Māori man who go to a rural pā to protest
fracking, or hydraulic fracturing. While the first part of the thesis
explores the positioning of the „other‟ outside of the white self, the
novel aims to portray the effects of such 'othering,' on the individual
and demonstrate how the historical/political event can be a real
experiential locale for the 'other'.
Democracia, participación y ciudadanía europea: recursos didácticos cartográficos para la enseñanza de la convivencia y la integración europea
Authors: De Miguel González Rafael , Sebastián López María
Published: May 2021

La enseñanza de las confrontaciones (políticas, étnicas, raciales, religiosas, etc.) producidas a lo largo del siglo XX, y en especial durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial sigue siendo un tema controvertido en la didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales. Tomando como referencia el currículo de cuarto de la ESO, y en especial el bloque décimo de la materia de Geografía e Historia, esta comunicación selecciona una serie de materiales didácticos cartográficos de indudable utilidad en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la relación entre el pasado, el presente y la proyección al futuro a través de estas dos disciplinas referentes. Además del estándar de aprendizaje referido al Holocausto, esta propuesta didáctica –fundamentada en los proyectos europeos Youthmetre y EuropeanValuesStudy- procura dar cumplimiento a la comprensión de las causas por las que una Europa en guerra durante el siglo XX ha podido llegar a una unión económica y política en el siglo XXI.

Holocausto y Dictadura en Chile: Educación para el Nunca Más.
Authors: Videla Sotomayor Claudia
Published: May 2021

El Holocausto ha sido en Chile al igual que en el resto del continente, una de las formas más tradicionales de enfrentar la temática de los DDHH; en la educación, así como en las políticas de memoria, hablar de violación a los DDHH implica hacer una referencia a lo ocurrido en la Europa de 1940.
Esto, desde la perspectiva de la educación formal ha posibilitado, en el caso de Chile, que se hable de DDHH sin que, necesariamente, se pase por nuestra propia historia reciente. Esta situación, posiblemente se deba a que el curriculum escolar fue hasta 2016 un proyecto conservador. Ese año, el Ministerio de Educación impulsó la Ley de Formación Ciudadana que puso en discusión ¿Qué y cómo enseñamos DDHH? lo que posibilitó la revisión de la enseñanza del Holocausto como único referente, posicionando los contenidos de “Dictadura”, “Violaciones a los DDHH”, “Memoria” y “ciudadanía”.
Cases of sexual diseases with alpha-emitting nanoparticulates : Parkinson’s, Primary Biliary Cholangitis (prostate and clitoris) – and opening the breast implant debate
Authors:   Unaffiliated researcher
Published: May 2021

These diseases can be called sexual diseases thanks to retro-analysis of the global process of development and degenerescence and combination of the author’s earlier works with research of other authors that demonstrate in new ways the argument. Cultures that encourage sexual repression produce diseases mechanically and exogeneous factors of internal contamination with alpha emitters demultiplicate the effects spilling from these cultural choices. It is possible that researchers investigating Parkinson’s have already years ago understood the link with alpha decay and “flagged” it but because they thought that Parkinson patients indeed due to their full responsivity in depriving their own prostate whereas homosexuality shows how stimulating it creates well-known powerful orgasms, had to suffer, and went not beyond the allegory of alpha emitting nanoparticulates in their articles (which is why this is called “flagging” – “signaling”).

Framing Death
Authors: Gallio Nicolò
Published: May 2021

"Perché siamo affascinati dalla rappresentazione della morte? Che cosa ci attrae dei contenuti audiovisivi ritenuti inaccettabili e morbosi? Partendo dalle origini del cinematografo, il volume analizza le strategie promozionali e la ricezione critica di film che in passato sono stati censurati e al tempo stesso avidamente collezionati, oggetti proibiti che sono ormai considerati prodotti di culto presso specifiche nicchie di pubblico. Uno studio che si intreccia con l’impatto che la tecnologia ha avuto sulla diffusione delle immagini di morte: dal filmato Zapruder alla nascita degli shock sites, dal fenomeno del War Porn ai killer che utilizzano ingegnosamente i social media. Dai cosiddetti snuff movies e shockumentaries a certe manifestazioni dell’arte contemporanea, dalla “necrocultura” al terrorismo, quello proposto è un percorso all’interno del caos della morte dall’era analogica a quella digitale. Nicolò Gallio è Dottore di ricerca in Studi teatrali e cinematografici e si interessa in particolare della relazione tra prodotti audiovisivi e media digitali.

Rinegoziazione e default rule
Authors: De Pamphilis Matteo
Published: May 2021

"Nella lunga vita di molti contratti, possono verificarsi eventi imprevisti che incrinano l’equilibrio, soprattutto economico, delle reciproche prestazioni. Il discorso intorno al diritto-dovere di rinegoziare gli accordi esposti a sopravvenienze è ormai un tema classico del diritto civile, che rispunta ciclicamente in occasione di eventi di rilevanza mondiale capaci di compromettere la tenuta di innumerevoli contratti in corso. La pandemia di COVID-19 è solo l’ultimo esempio in ordine di tempo. Questa ricerca si propone di individuare il miglior approccio giuseconomico per affrontare il dilemma della rinegoziazione, in prospettiva strutturale, cercando di coniugare le soluzioni proposte dagli interpreti del diritto civile con i contributi di analisi economica del diritto, nella prospettiva della riforma del codice civile italiano e della progressiva armonizzazione del diritto privato europeo e internazionale. In questo percorso, l’individuazione di una regola di default stabile e duratura per un contesto mutevole e multiforme è forse la contraddizione in termini che più vale la pena affrontare.

Dislessia
Authors: Emili Enrico Angelo
Published: May 2021

Le persone con dislessia evolutiva hanno caratteristiche specifiche di apprendimento che le portano ad avere difficoltà di lettura permanenti e, in modo più evidente, nelle prime fasi di scolarizzazione. In passato tali difficoltà si imputavano, erroneamente, alla pigrizia dell’alunno e al suo scarso impegno, provocando ricadute emotive sullo studente e la sua famiglia. La Legge 170/2010 ha finalmente riconosciuto dislessia, disgrafia, disortografia e discalculia come Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento (DSA) e, negli ultimi anni, sono stati emanati diversi provvedimenti al fine di garantire a tutti gli studenti che presentano difficoltà non ordinarie la piena partecipazione alla vita scolastica e di offrire adeguate e personalizzate risposte pedagogiche. È dunque fondamentale che gli insegnanti sappiano prontamente riconoscere i segnali di DSA, non certo per formulare diagnosi, ma per mettere in atto interventi di potenziamento didattico e, in caso di certificazione clinica, strumenti, misure, strategie specifiche e inclusive per favorire la realizzazione delle potenzialità e l’autonomia nello studio. Il volume, con uno sguardo pedagogico e didattico, approfondisce le problematiche legate alla dislessia, presentando le risorse a disposizione di studenti e insegnanti, gli strumenti compensativi e le forme di individualizzazione dei processi di insegnamento/apprendimento.

Roles and applications of 3D printing in gynecology: a scoping review
Authors: Cooke Carly M , Flaxman Teresa , Sikora Lindsey , Singh Sony Sukhbir
Published: May 2021

There has been an explosion of research in the area of 3D printing in the medical literature, and a multitude of uses of 3D printed models have been proposed and are being explored. Applications for 3D printing which have been identified in the literature for uses in various surgical specialities have started to be investigated in the context of gynecology. Our objective is to systematically review the literature on 3D printing in gynecology through a scoping review, to 1) outline the roles and applications of 3D printing in gynecology and 2) determine feasibility and impact of 3D printing on surgical outcomes in gynecologic surgery. Studies will be screened and assessed for eligibility by two independent reviewers, who will then extract data from studies selected for inclusion using a pre-established data extraction form. Disagreements between reviewers will be settled through discussion and consensus between the reviewers. A descriptive approach for data synthesis will be used, however quantitative data will also be assessed where available. This study will help to summarize research to date on the use of 3D printing in gynecology to help to outline the clinical relevance of it’s use in this speciality, and guide future research on the topic.
Mindfulness-based programmes for mental health promotion in adults in non-clinical settings: protocol of an individual participant data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
Authors: Galante Julieta , Friedrich Claire , Dalgleish Tim , White Ian , Jones Peter B.
Published: May 2021

Introduction With mental ill health listed as a top cause of global disease burden, there is an urgent need to prioritise mental health promotion programmes. Mindfulness–based programmes (MBPs) are being widely implemented to reduce stress in non-clinical settings. In a recent aggregate-level meta-analysis we found that, compared with no intervention, these MBPs reduce average psychological distress. However, heterogeneity between studies impedes generalisation of effects across every setting. Study-level moderators were insufficient to reduce heterogeneity; studying individual–level moderators is warranted. This requires individual participant data (IPD) and larger samples than those found in existing individual trials. Methods and analysis We propose an IPD meta–analysis. Our primary aim is to see if, and how, baseline psychological distress, gender, age, education, and dispositional mindfulness moderate the effect of MBPs on distress. We will search 13 databases for good-quality randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing in–person, expert–defined MBPs in non-clinical settings with passive controls. Two researchers will independently select, extract, and appraise trials using the revised Cochrane Risk–of–Bias Tool (RoB2). Anonymised IPD of eligible trials will be sought from authors, who will be invited to collaborate. The primary outcome will be psychological distress measured using psychometrically-validated questionnaires at 1 to 6 months after programme completion. Pairwise random-effects two-stage IPD meta-analyses will be conducted. Moderator analyses will follow a “deft” approach. We will estimate subgroup-specific intervention effects. Secondary outcomes and sensitivity analyses are pre-specified. Multiple imputation strategies will be applied to missing data. Ethics and dissemination The findings will refine our knowledge on the effectiveness of MBPs and help improve the targeting of MBPs in non-clinical settings. They will be shared in accessible formats with a range of stakeholders. Public and professional stakeholders are being involved in the planning, conduct and dissemination of this project.

Comparing the semantic networks of children with cochlear implants and children with typical hearing: Effects of length of language access.
Authors: Socher Michaela , löfkvist ulrika , Wass Malin
Published: May 2021

Purpose: Kenett et al. (2013) report that the sematic networks, measured by using an oral semantic fluency task, of children with cochlear implants (CI) are less structured compared to the sematic networks of children with typical hearing (TH). This study aims to evaluate if such differences are only evident if children with CI are compared to children with TH matched on chronological age, or also if they are compared to children with TH matched on hearing age. Method: The performance of a group of children with CI on a verbal fluency task was compared to the performance of a group of chronological-age matched children with TH. Subsequently, computational network analysis was used to compare the semantic network structure of the groups. The same procedure was applied to compare a group of children with CI to a group of hearing-age matched children with TH. Results: The children with CI perform on the same level on an oral semantic verbal fluency task as the children with TH matched on hearing age. There are significant differences in terms of the structure of the semantic network between the groups. The magnitude of these differences is very small and they are non-significant for a proportion of nodes included in the bootstrap analysis. This indicates that there is no true difference between the networks. Hearing age, but not age at implantation was found to be significantly positively correlated with semantic verbal fluency performance for the children with CI. Conclusions: The results from the current study indicate that length of exposure to the tested language is an important factor for the structure of the semantic network and the performance on a semantic verbal fluency task for children with CI. Further studies are needed to explore the role of the accessibility of the language input for the development of semantic networks of children with CI.
Natural Language Use as Bipartite Networks in Psychology
Authors: Correa Juan C.
Published: May 2021

Natural language as a data source is quite common in different divisions of psychology. Among the several ways to analyze the information conveyed by natural language, psychologists rarely use bipartite networks despite the strong potential that this network perspective has for enriching psychology's research toolbox. This opinion article aims to provide a viewpoint on current advances and promising future research directions on modeling natural language as a bipartite network structure, using word-of-mouth as the basis for a tutorial exposition that paves the way for others to leverage the opportunities provided by network theory.
Remote Recruitment and Training Methods as a Way to Increase Diversity in Community Samples for EMA Studies: A Research Note
Authors: Hanny Courtney , Derrick Jaye L. , Testa Maria
Published: May 2021

Researchers have only recently recognized the paucity of research on sexual minority samples and the need to diversify research samples. However, recruiting sexual minority samples of sufficient size to allow for adequate statistical power can be challenging, particularly when the goal is to compare heterosexual with sexual minority subsamples. We describe successful efforts to recruit same-sex male and female intimate couples in sufficient numbers to permit comparison with a larger sample of primarily mixed-sex community couples participating in a 30-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study of alcohol and relationship functioning. Our efforts involved targeting Facebook ads to appeal to same-sex couples, expanding the geographic reach of the ads beyond the local area, and conducting videoconference as opposed to in-person orientation sessions. Efforts yielded sufficient numbers of same-sex couples meeting stringent eligibility criteria to permit statistical comparisons and offer a potentially cost-effective means for recruiting hard-to-reach populations.
Champ versus Chump: Viewing an Opponent’s Face Engages Attention but Not Reward Systems
Authors: Redden Ralph S. , Gagliardi Greg , Williams Chad , Hassall Cameron Dale , Krigolson Olave
Published: May 2021

When we play competitive games, the opponents that we face act as predictors of the outcome of the game. For instance, if you are an average chess player and you face a Grandmaster, you anticipate a loss. Framed in a reinforcement learning perspective, our opponents can be thought of as predictors of rewards and punishments. The present study investigates whether facing an opponent would be processed as a reward or punishment depending on the level of difficulty the opponent poses. Participants played Rock, Paper, Scissors against three computer opponents while electroencephalographic (EEG) data was recorded. In a key manipulation, one opponent (HARD) was programmed to win most often, another (EASY) was made to lose most often, and the third (AVERAGE) had equiprobable outcomes of wins, losses, and ties. Through practice, participants learned to anticipate the relative challenge of a game based on the opponent they were facing that round. An analysis of our EEG data revealed that winning outcomes elicited a reward positivity relative to losing outcomes. Interestingly, our analysis of the predictive cues (i.e., the opponents' faces) demonstrated that attentional engagement (P3a) was contextually sensitive to anticipated game difficulty. As such, our results for the predictive cue are contrary to what one might expect for a reinforcement model associated with predicted reward, but rather demonstrate that the neural response to the predictive cue was encoding the level of engagement with the opponent as opposed to value relative to the anticipated outcome.
Social buffering of human fear is shaped by gender, social concern and the presence of real vs virtual agents

Published: May 2021

The presence of a partner can attenuate physiological fear responses, a phenomenon known as social buffering. However, not all individuals are equally sociable. Here we investigated whether social buffering of fear is shaped by sensitivity to social anxiety (social concern) and whether these effects are different in females and males. We collected skin conductance responses (SCRs) and affect ratings of female and male participants when they experienced aversive and neutral sounds alone (alone treatment) or in the presence of an unknown person of the same gender (social treatment). Individual differences in social concern were assessed based on a well-established questionnaire. Our results showed that social concern had a stronger effect on social buffering in females than in males. The lower females scored on social concern, the stronger the SCRs reduction in the social compared to the alone treatment. The effect of social concern on social buffering of fear in females disappeared if participants were paired with a virtual agent instead of a real person. Together, these results showed that social buffering of human fear is shaped by gender and social concern. In females, the presence of virtual agents can buffer fear, irrespective of individual differences in social concern. These findings specify factors that shape the social modulation of human fear, and thus might be relevant for the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Hong Kong university students suffer a high prevalence of mental distress, but their lifestyle behaviors are not well-understood. We aimed to examine the relationship between mental distress, lifestyle behaviors, and problematic Internet use of this student population during the summer holiday and term-time. A two-cohort contrast group survey study was conducted. Students were surveyed in July during the summer holiday and September during term-time. The General Health Questionnaire-12, Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II, and Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 were administered to measure mental distress, lifestyle behaviors, and problematic Internet use. 949 students (summer=467; term-time=482; Mage±SD, 20.11±1.54) participated in the study. Students reported statistically significant lower mental distress and higher spiritual growth during the summer holiday compared to term-time. The results of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) found that spiritual growth was directly associated with reduced mental distress and problematic internet use, and indirectly associated with reduced mental distress through a negative correlation with problematic internet use. Problematic internet use was positively correlated with mental distress. Physical activity was more associated with better mental health during the summer holiday and for female students. In contrast, Health management was associated with better mental health during term-time and for male students. In conclusion, spiritual growth supports mental health improvement and counters problematic internet use in university students in general, factors such as physical activity and health management show differential influences based on gender and time of year. Results may help inform the development of student support workshops in higher education.
Chunks are not “Content-Free”: Hierarchical Representations Preserve Perceptual Detail within Chunks
Authors: Allen Michael G , Destefano Isabella , Brady Timothy F.
Published: May 2021

Chunks allow us to use long-term knowledge to efficiently represent the world in working memory. Most views of chunking assume that when we use chunks, this results in the loss of specific perceptual details, since it is presumed the contents of chunks are decoded from long-term memory rather than reflecting the exact details of the item that was presented. However, in two experiments, we find that in situations where participants make use of chunks to improve visual working memory, access to instance-specific perceptual detail (that cannot be retrieved from long-term memory) increased, rather than decreased. This supports an alternative view: that chunks facilitate the encoding and retention into memory of perceptual details as part of structured, hierarchical memories, rather than serving as mere “content-free” pointers. It also provides a strong contrast to accounts in which working memory capacity is assumed to be exhaustively described by the number of chunks remembered.
Racial Inequality in the Prevalence, Degree, Extension, and Permeation of Incarceration in Family Life
Authors: Yi Youngmin
Published: May 2021

The prevalence, consequences, and unequal racial distribution of the experience of parental and own imprisonment have been well documented in scholarship on mass incarceration in the United States. However, much of our knowledge of the reach of mass incarceration into family life is focused on incarceration of a parent, romantic partner, or child, to the exclusion of other important relationships. Using data from a nationally representative survey of U.S. adults (N=2,029), this study introduces a set of new descriptive measures of family incarceration to provide a comprehensive picture of the demography of family incarceration and its unequal distribution across racial/ethnic groups: degree, generational extension, and permeation. The analysis shows that Black adults in the U.S. are not only more likely to have ever experienced family incarceration but are also likely to have had more family members incarcerated and to have had family members from more generations ever incarcerated than those of other racial and ethnic groups.
Moral responses to uncertainty: The economies of worth towards a reconceptualization of decision making and management
Authors: Grattarola Alfredo
Published: May 2021

The sizeable literature that deploys Boltanski and Thévenot’s (1991, 2006) “economies of worth” model of moral cognition to study organization and management under conditions of uncertainty and value pluralism is connoted by a striking variety of interests, terminology, and theorizing approaches. This review argues for the literature’s emerging cumulative cohesiveness and for its value as a source of concepts and problems for researchers exploring organizational behavior, organizational complexity, knowledge and innovation, organizational justice, and leadership. By mapping the literature onto the elements of the source model, the review induces several constructs that – though requiring integration and development – outline a distinctive conception of organization: the collective exercise of moral sense is necessarily coterminous with decision and policy making; information and formal structures and practices arise out of it, as opposed to forming its context; the core concern of management is the functionality of the socio-material networks in which it unfolds. After defining several integrative and developmental research questions and locating the roots of the literature’s variety in the specificities of the economies of worth’s interdisciplinary translation, the review concludes by proposing a research approach based on four epistemological and methodological shifts that retains the model’s core assumptions but moves beyond its special conceptual confines and uses more general tools.
Connecting brain and heart: artificial intelligence for sustainable development
Authors: Chavarro Diego , Taborda Jaime Andres Perez , avil alba
Published: May 2021

A key objective of global policies on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to foster AI research for sustainable development (SD). In this paper, we analyze the inclusion of SD in AI research indexed by the IEEE Xplore database from 2000 to 2019. We address three critical questions: 1) To what extent is AI research addressing the sustainable development goals (SDGs)? 2) Which subject areas of AI show an emerging interest in SD? And 3) What patterns of collaboration between regions of the world are being stimulated by AI? Our scientometric analysis consists of 1) Identifying the number of AI papers that address SDGs in their titles, abstracts, and keywords. 2) Developing a composite indicator based on the number of documents produced, scientific impact, and inventive impact to distinguish areas with an emerging interest in SD; 3) Exploring co-authorship networks at three levels: region, income group, and country. The overall results show that a small share of papers is explicitly focused on SD. Our composite indicator allowed us to identify an emerging interest in SD from Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, Education, Consumer Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference. Specifically, on AI subjects, we found emerging interests in Prediction Methods, Computation Theory, Machine Learning, Learning (artificial intelligence), and Biological Neural Networks. Inter-regional and inter-income group collaboration are limited, and network power is concentrated in a few countries. The results could be useful to improve the connection between technical knowledge, strategic planning for S&T investment, and SD policies.
Gini and wealth in 34 sub-Saharan African countries from 1990
Authors: Hall Olaa , Djurfeldt Göran , Olén niklas Boke
Published: May 2021

The standard narrative about inequality is that is ever increasing, but solid evidence to support this claim is often lacking, especially for poor countries and at subnational levels where data are scarce and poor. In this paper we use data from the Demographic and Health Survey for 34 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and over 50000 villages surveyed since 1990. We use a wealth index developed by DHS researchers and Gini coefficients drawing on the same source together with remote sensing data. By means of a mixed model we conclude that human development, operationalized by the wealth index has tended to be associated with lower rather than higher inequality in SSA during the period covered.
A value creation model from science-society interconnections: Archetypal analysis combining publications, survey and altmetric data
Authors: Ramos-Vielba Irene , Robinson-Garcia Nicolas , Woolley Richard
Published: May 2021

The interplay between science and society takes place through a wide range of intertwined relationships and mutual influences that shape each other and facilitate continuous knowledge flows. Stylised consequentialist perspectives on valuable knowledge moving from public science to society in linear and recursive pathways, whilst informative, cannot fully capture the broad spectrum of value creation possibilities. As an alternative we experiment with an approach that gathers together diverse science-society interconnections and reciprocal research-related knowledge processes that can generate valorisation. Our approach to value creation attempts to incorporate multiple facets, directions and dynamics in which constellations of scientific and societal actors generate value from research. The paper develops a conceptual model based on a set of nine value components derived from four key research-related knowledge processes: production, translation, communication, and utilization. The paper conducts an exploratory empirical study to investigate whether a set of archetypes can be discerned among these components that structure science-society interconnections. We explore how such archetypes vary between major scientific fields. Each archetype is overlaid on a research topic map, with our results showing the distinctive topic areas that correspond to different archetypes. The paper finishes by discussing the significance and limitations of our results and the potential of both our model and our empirical approach for further research.

Authors: Śmieja Wojciech
Published: May 2021

Jednym z najbardziej rozpowszechnionych rodzajów nowotworu jest dotykający wielu mężczyzn nowotwór prostaty. Jako dotykający nie tylko cielesności, ale także społecznej i kulturowej tożsamości mężczyzny długo pozostawał w sferze tabu, choć od czasu eseju Susan Sontag Choroba jako metafora dokonuje się w kulturze Zachodu stopniowa detabuizacja raka. W ostatnich latach obserwujemy uobecnianie się „dyskursu prostatycznego” przez jego literackie zapisy, kulturowe reprezentacje, akcje świadomościowe czy wreszcie publiczne debaty. Ten moment jest interesujący dla badacza‑literaturoznawcy: „dyskurs prostatyczny” analizować trzeba na przecięciu kilku relatywnie nowych subdyscyplin nauk humanistycznych i społecznych: krytycznych studiów nad mężczyznami i męskościami, age studies i dyskursu maladycznego.Sięgając do tych trzech obszarów, autor poddaje lekturze powieść Duch wychodzi Philipa Rotha, powieść L’ablation Tahara Ben Jellouna (I wyd. 2014, nietłumaczona), esej/dziennik Philippe’a Petita: Philosophie de la prostate (wyd. 2018, nietłumaczona).Na podstawie przeprowadzonych analiz autor formułuje wniosek, że dokonujące się na naszych oczach rozpoznanie prostaty jako ważnego obszaru męskiej cielesności może przyczynić się do znaczących przesunięć w rozumieniu kulturowych i społecznych konwencji męskości.

Study Design: This was a double-blind randomized study.Purpose: The primary purpose was to compare the effects of propofol and ketofol on amplitudes and latencies of transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEPs) during thoracolumbar spine surgery. In addition, intraoperative hemodynamics and muscle power were compared.Overview of Literature: Propofol is commonly used during intraoperative TcMEP monitoring. However, propofol inhibits TcMEP amplitudes and causes hypotension in a dose-dependent fashion.Methods: Amplitude and latency of TcMEPs were recorded bilaterally from the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) and abductor hallucis (AH) muscles in 38 adult American Society of Anesthesiologists I and II patients undergoing thoracolumbar spine surgery. Baseline recordings of TcMEPs in both groups were recorded under propofol infusion. Group X patients then received propofol and fentanyl (1 mcg/kg/hr), and group Y patients received ketofol and fentanyl (1 mcg/kg/hr). Bispectral index was maintained at 40–60 in both groups. Amplitude and latency were recorded at 30 minutes intervals for 2 hours.Results: Propofol caused no significant changes in amplitude and latency in any muscle. In contrast, amplitude increased significantly at all time points in the bilateral APB muscles and 60, 90, and 120 minutes in the left AH muscle without changes in latency in response to ketofol. When the two groups were compared, ketofol induced significantly higher amplitudes at 60, 90, and 120 minutes in the (left) APB, at all time points in the (right) APB, and at 120 minutes in both AH muscles, compared with propofol. Blood pressures were lower and fluid and vasopressor requirements were higher in group X. Muscle power was similar between the two groups.Conclusions: Ketofol facilitates TcMEP amplitudes without affecting latency. Use of ketofol resulted in a better and more stable hemodynamic profile than did use of propofol.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Purpose: We aimed to quantitatively assess bone marrow edema (BME) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients with degenerative lumbar diseases.Overview of Literature: BME adjacent to a sclerotic endplate of the lumbar spine, detected using T2-weighted fat-saturated MRI, is closely associated with low back pain in patients with degenerative lumbar diseases. However, currently, there no quantitative evaluation methods for BME adjacent to the vertebral endplate.Methods: Patients with degenerative lumbar diseases, whose MRIs detected BME, were enrolled. On a T2-weighted fat-saturated MRI, BME appeared as a high-intensity region adjacent to the vertebral endplate. We calculated the contrast ratios (CRs) of BME and normal bone marrow using the signal intensities of BME, normal bone marrow, and the spinal cord. On computed tomography, we calculated Hounsfield unit (HU) values in the same area as BME, the sclerotic endplate, and normal bone marrow to assess bone density.Results: There were 16 men and 14 women, with an average age of 73.5 years. The mean CRs of BME and normal bone marrow were −0.015±0.056 and −0.407±0.023, respectively. BME’s CR was significantly higher than that of normal bone marrow (p<0.01). The HU values in the same area as BME, the sclerotic endplate, and normal bone marrow were 251.9±24.6, 828.3±35.6, and 98.1±9.3, respectively; these values were significantly different from each other (p<0.01).Conclusions: The CR on MRI is a useful quantitative assessment tool for BME in patients with degenerative lumbar diseases.
