An Incurable Lunatic
Authors: Wuthnow Robert
Published: May 2018

In the postbellum nineteenth century, institutional support for the families of the mentally ill was far less available than it would be a century later. People in these circumstances had only their own resources to depend on and perhaps the assistance they could draw up from relatives and friends. This chapter demonstrates the extent to which insanity not only separated individuals so identified from the rest of the community by institutionalizing them but also placed the families of the insane in an ambiguous status that required cultural and organizational negotiation. It presents the previously unexamined history of one family that illuminates many of the challenges that other families, individuals, and communities faced at the time. The story traces the life of a man who fought for his country, moved west with the expanding frontier, experienced a modicum of success, raised a family, and then became an incurable lunatic.
Chopin and Jews
Authors: Kallberg Jeffrey
Published: May 2018

This chapter illustrates Chopin's invocation of the word Jew, in contexts that often go beyond the purely descriptive and instead verge into invective and abuse. In a correspondence that otherwise portrays a sympathetic and imaginative individual, an overview of his use of “Jew” reveals something else entirely: something repulsive, bitter, and distressing. For advocates of Chopin's music, the common reactions to these outbursts are to ignore them, to make excuses, or to find ways to bracket off the invective from his sounding creations. Yet it will not really do to avert scholars' attention: not only do basic principles of biographical honesty compel them to think in a sustained way about Chopin's anti-Judaism, it is also possible that his tirades tell something about his creative life.
America’s Deprioritization of Allies
Authors: Grygiel Jakub J. , Mitchell A. Wess
Published: May 2018

This chapter traces the deterioration that has occurred in the foundations of America's relations with many of its longest-standing allies over the past few years, both through a weakening of the political bonds with Washington and through diplomatic and military probes at the hands of U.S. rivals. In recent years, the United States has been tempted to ignore the historic need for strong alliances. On closer examination, there are deeply rooted sources of the American temptation to deprioritize alliances. Geography, technology, and ideology tempt them to think that they do not need allies to compete effectively in global geopolitics. In addition, in recent years domestic political pressures have emerged that generate doubts about U.S. overseas commitments. The Obama administration's rhetoric and actions—partly a reflection of these pressures—have been perceived as downgrading the importance of allies.
Recommendations
Authors: Grygiel Jakub J. , Mitchell A. Wess
Published: May 2018

This concluding chapter offers recommendations for how the United States can revitalize its credibility and capabilities of itself and its allies. Indeed, U.S. policy should seek to restore American credibility and thus the strength of their alliances. A strategy to visibly strengthen alliances would offer the most immediate path to countering rivals' efforts at opportunistic revisionism because it would address probes at their intended source: allied perceptions of American confidence and power. Doing so will not be easy, since U.S. alliances are being tested not only from the outside, but from the inside. However, such a strategy would be more cost-effective over the long term than either of the main strategic alternatives: seeking a grand bargain with principal rivals or attempting to reduce the direct costs of U.S. leadership by pursuing a strategy of offshore balancing.
Assessment of knowledge and practices of Internally Displaced pregnant women attending to antenatal clinic center at Arbat camp in Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Authors: Abdulkhalk Abass Layla
Published: May 2018

Internally displaced persons are peoples displaced in it is own country but not crossed a border.

Bank Soundness and Sustainability-Evidence From Middle East, Indian Sub-Continent and African Banks
Authors: Abdul Hadi1 Abdul Razak , Suryanto Tulus , Tat Hiung Eddy Yap
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACTThe study is carried out with the objective of examining the effects of bank’s liquidity (LR), non-performing loans (NPL), capital adequacy ratio (CAR), loan growth (FEXP) and default risk premium (FQL) on bank’s performance as measured by return on assets (ROA) within the framework of Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.The financial intermediation theory of banking is reexamined to see how the current banking supervision safeguards the interest of depositors.  Engaging pooled OLS as an estimation tool on 93 commercial banks in Middle East, Africa and Indian subcontinent over study period from 2009 through 2016, the findings reveal thatthere are significant relationships between bank’s performance and its liquidity plus loan growth.  Both ROA and FEXP are also found to be positively correlated.  Even though NPL and CAR do not have significant relationship with ROA, both are found to be negatively correlated with ROA.  Overall, the study has proven that liquidity and loan growth have pivotal roles in sustaining bank’s profitability over time.   Keywords: Bank’s Liquidity, Return on Assets,Capital Adequacy Ratio, Non-Performing Loans, Loan Growth, Static Panel Data, PooledOLS and Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Ireland’s housing crisis – The case for a European cost rental model
Authors: Healy Tom , Goldrick-Kelly Paul
Published: May 2018

Lack of access to affordable quality homes constitutes a significant crisis for workers, families and communities in the Republic of Ireland. Current government plans appear to be insufficient to make a significant impact. Pressure on individuals and families is a direct consequence of under - investment over many years, as well as a failure on the part of a market-led and property-developer-led model of housing to deliver enough dwellings to meet the needs of a growing population. The optimum solution, we propose, is the establishment of The Housing Company of Ireland, which will draw on long-term borrowing combined with an equity injection from the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, and will undertake or commission, on a commercial basis, a programme of planning, building, acquiring and renting of new homes. This investment will supplement and further strengthen work by the local authorities and the voluntary housing associations in the area of social housing.
A dynamic stopping rule for phase I clinical trials
Authors: Alam M. Iftakhar , Mansur Mohaimen
Published: May 2018

This paper investigates a stopping rule to be utilised in phase I clinical trials. The motivation is to develop a dynamic rule so that a trial stops early if the maximum tolerated dose lies towards the beginning of a dose region. Also, it will employ many patients if the maximum tolerated dose lies towards the end of a dose region. A two-parameter logistic model is assumed for the dose-response data. A trial is stopped early before reaching the maximum number of patients when the width of the Bayesian posterior probability interval of the slope parameter meets a desired value. Instead of setting a pre-specified width to stop at, we determine it based on the parameter estimate obtained after a reasonable number of steps in a trial. Simulation studies of six plausible dose-response scenarios show that the proposed stopping rule is capable of limiting the number of patients to be recruited depending on the underlying scenario. Although the rule is applied to a D-optimum design here, it will be equally applicable to other model-based designs.

About an Approach for Constructing Combinatorial Objects
Authors: Bouyukliev Iliya , Hristova Maya
Published: May 2018

The classification of combinatorial objects consists of two sub-problems – construction of objects with given properties and rejection of isomorphic objects. In this paper, we consider generation of combinatorial objects that are uniquely defined by a matrix. The method that we present is implemented by backtrack search. The used approach is close to dynamic programming.
Can Education for Sustainable Development Change Entrepreneurship Education to Deliver a Sustainable Future?
Authors: Strachan Glenn
Published: May 2018

An objective of the European Union’s Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan is to address high levels of youth unemployment in Europe by promoting entrepreneurship. Implementing entrepreneurship education in schools, colleges and universities is one of three strategic interventions proposed by the Action Plan. Sustainable entrepreneurship is a recognised branch of the wider field of entrepreneurship and the literature on sustainable entrepreneurship sees it as a means of addressing some of the sustainability challenges of the 21st century. This article compares the pedagogical approaches and the competences of ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) with those of entrepreneurship education to identify how ESD might influence entrepreneurship education in order to develop entrepreneurs that contribute to a sustainable future. This comparison is placed in the context of the broader debate on the need to transform the dominant neo-liberal economic systems as part of the precondition for achieving a more sustainable future.
Sonographic diagnosis of meconium peritonitis: a case report
Authors: Raza Rabail , Arif Muhammad Obaid , Khan Dawar , Raza Sadia , Khan Sarim
Published: May 2018

Background:

In certain situations, the radiologist may be the first physician to suggest the presence of a pediatric abnormality. The possibility of early diagnosis of potential life-threatening emergency conditions is one of the important contributions of ultrasound to the referring clinician. Our case demonstrates the value sonographic diagnosis of meconium peritonitis (MP).

Case Presentation:

We present a case of a newborn infant who was diagnosed to have echogenic bowel with a few specks of peritoneal calcification and loculated ascites. Early detection with ultrasound led to immediate surgical intervention and patient recovered without any immediate or long-term complications.

Conclusion:

MP is a chemical peritonitis caused by fetal intestinal perforation which occurs mostly in utero. Its incidence is extremely rare, but serious neonatal morbidity or even mortality can occur if the diagnosis is delayed. Prenatal diagnosis is essential in prompting early postnatal surgical intervention, and also, improving neonatal outcome.
El ecoturismo como base para el desarrollo territorial sostenible en la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra La Laguna (REBIOSLA), Baja California Sur, México
Authors: Rodríguez Villalobos Ismael , Montaño Armendáriz Angélica , González Sousa Roberto
Published: May 2018

Este artículo pretende constituirse en una herramienta metodológica que desde el análisis de la importancia y pertinencia de impulsar un sistema territorial basado en la colaboración entre los actores sociales, propone estudiar las posibilidades y potencialidades que pudieran contribuir a conformar y fortalecer un sistema productivo de base ecoturística en la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra La Laguna, localizada al noroeste de la República Mexicana, en el extremo Sur del estado de Baja California Sur y decretada como Reserva de la Biosfera el 6 de junio de 1994. El territorio cuenta con una población de 431 personas distribuida en 83 ranchos y dedicada a actividades primarias de escaso valor agregado. En el contexto territorial, el producto ecoturístico en desarrollo debe ser valorado como el núcleo en torno al cual se constituye la cadena productiva del sistema y las estrategias para su desarrollo deben obedecer al manejo responsable de los recursos naturales y culturales, mediante el establecimiento de lineamientos de ordenamiento que orienten la toma de decisiones hacia el diseño de productos coherentes, desde lo ambiental, lo social y lo económico. Como aportes de la investigación se señalan la apropiada actualización y adaptación sobre bases científicas del desarrollo de la actividad turística a las condiciones específicas de la REBIOSLA; revelar los elementos que deben conformar las relaciones de actores en el desarrollo de un sistema productivo de base ecoturística como alternativa de desarrollo territorial sostenible, y privilegiar una opción para resolver la contradicción fundamental que se establece entre las relaciones de los diferentes actores del territorio en el desarrollo de un producto turístico sostenible.

Fotografía y enfoques de género: Aproximaciones teóricas para construir miradas de mujeres
Authors: Campo Castro Natalia
Published: May 2018

El presente documento tiene como propósito brindar un marco teórico relacionado con el estudio de la mirada hegemónica, institucional y poderosa de los hombres en la fotografía, que se ha instalado históricamente como la principal manera de crear imágenes. Asimismo, se orienta a observar la forma en que desde los estudios de género y su episteme se la ha cuestionado, dando lugar a la emergencia de las miradas de las mujeres. Parte del entramado teórico en relación con la presencia de mujeres en las artes visuales, que configuró un panorama académico, epistemológico y empírico para la emergencia de fotógrafas con perspectiva feminista, es el que se muestra en el presente documento. De igual modo, se evidenciarán algunos aportes que los estudios de género han realizado a la actividad fotográfica hecha con miradas de mujeres.

Análisis léxico sobre la opacidad ortográfica de una crónica de indias: el caso del verbo haber
Authors: Arboleda Guisao Bibiana , Rojas Díaz José Luis
Published: May 2018

Hasta finales del siglo XVIII los cronistas de indias europeos recrearon con sus manuscritos la cultura, paisajes y formas de vivir de América en los imaginarios del mundo europeo; sin embargo, tal recreación a veces obvió la mirada y experiencia americana. Este es el caso de la Crónica Teatro Crítico Americano o Nueva Tentativa para la Solución del gran problema histórico sobre la población de la América (Cabrera, 1794), que fue conocida a través de una traducción al inglés que, en razón de la opacidad ortográfica que presenta, pudo haber dejado ocultas imágenes, historias y visiones de la América de 1794 y que, aun 193 años después de su envío a Europa, el mundo desconoce. Por medio de la elaboración de un corpus lingüístico del contenido léxico de la Crónica se tomó el caso del verbo Haber para hacer un análisis léxico que propone la interferencia de la lengua materna del cronista –el italiano– como factor que conllevó a la opacidad ortográfica de la Crónica, la cual, a su vez, impacta la fidelidad de la traducción del editor Henry Berthoud de 1822 en la que Europa se ha apoyado para entender la ciudad Maya de Palenque. Después de más de 500 años, la historia de América contada en boca y lengua de americanos sigue sin ser contada.

Dos concepciones liberales del Estado: Adam Smith y Friedrich Hayek
Authors: Botticelli Sebastián
Published: May 2018

Con el objetivo de cuestionar aquellas interpretaciones que identifican la comprensión liberal del Estado con una estructura organizativa reducida a su mínima expresión cuyo desempeño debe quedar supeditado a las dinámicas económico-productivas, el presente artículo se propone revisar críticamente las propuestas de dos figuras destacadas dentro de la tradición del liberalismo: Adam Smith y Friedrich Hayek. Para ello se compara el modo en el que estos autores articulan el concepto de Estado sobre un plano operativo, en particular, en lo referido al principio de “gobierno limitado”. Se identifican las funciones adjudicadas a las instituciones públicas y se caracteriza el modo en el que se presentan las relaciones entre la órbita estatal y la órbita social. Por último, se destacan continuidades y diferencias entre ambas posturas. Sobre esa base, se proponen algunas reflexiones en torno a la eventual distinción entre un liberalismo ético-político y un liberalismo económico.
La enseñanza del proyecto filosófico de Adam Smith en la historiografía del pensamiento económico
Authors: Piqué Pilar
Published: May 2018

Habida cuenta de la relevancia que los libros de texto de historia del pensamiento económico tienen en la formación de los economistas en la historia de su ciencia, nos proponemos exponer de qué modo los libros de texto de historia del pensamiento económico han enseñado (e investigado sobre) la obra de Adam Smith y, en particular, qué impacto ha tenido la “disciplinarización” de la historia del pensamiento económico en la relectura de un aspecto de su obra que hoy por lo general no es común a las investigaciones de la ciencia económica convencional: la ligazón conceptual de la Economía Política smithiana con el campo general de conocimientos filosóficos en el que trabajó este autor. Mostraremos cómo este tema ha perdido peso en la historiografía del pensamiento económico (especialmente de los libros de texto), que le han asignado mayor importancia a otros aspectos de la obra de Adam Smith (principalmente económica, es decir, de La Riqueza de las Naciones) más próximos a los usos y costumbres de la ciencia económica del siglo XX. Consideramos que destacar el relego del estudio de este problema puede contribuir no solo a un mejor entendimiento de la obra de Adam Smith sino, asimismo, a una enseñanza más completa de esta.
Against Moral Purism
Authors: García Gibson Francisco
Published: May 2018

Moral purism is the view that doing evil is never allowed, even as a means to prevent a greater evil. This article assesses two main versions of moral purism and shows that they are implausible. The first version claims that it is always impermissible to choose an option that results in a bad states of affairs, while the second version claims that it is always impermissible to choose an option that is wrong, even if it is only prima facie wrong. I contend that both versions are incomplete, in the sense that they are unable to provide practical guidance for cases in which all available options result in bad states of affairs, or in which all available options are prima facie wrong.

Tanto le debo a Lelio Fernández . . . La enumeración incompleta de esa deuda me lleva a mis años de filosofía en Cali, Colombia, de 1985 a 1989. En sus clases, gracias al placer por la lectura en detalle, Lelio contagiaba con la emoción de querer entender; lograba conectarnos con la historia de la cultura sin desplegar ninguna ayuda “audio-visual”; transmitía su deseo de estar siempre saboreando las obras de Baruch Spinoza (1632‒1677) y de Jorge Luis Borges (1899‒1986); se limitaba a sentarse detrás de un escritorio en los salones de clase, hablando bajo y con precisión y con emoción contenida; era necesario llegar casi dos horas antes a ese salón de clase en la Universidad del Valle para no estar obligado a medio-escuchar sus pensamientos en el corredor; me ayudó en la traducción de los apartes en latín, y aún no publicados en castellano, que Umberto Eco (1932‒2016) incluyó en El nombre de la rosa; y tradujo al castellano, con Jean-Paul Margot, el Breve tratado de la reforma del entendimiento también de Spinoza.

Propuestas para un programa comparatista colombiano
Authors: Pageaux Daniel-Henri
Published: May 2018

Para ejemplificar lo que llamo “propuestas”, iré citando, a lo largo de esta breve ponencia, textos e ilustres nombres que han de guiar e iluminar nuestra reflexión. De entrada, no pretendo cualquier tipo de originalidad, sino ir ensamblando unas pocas intuiciones que revelen la existencia de perspectivas comparatistas como otras tantas bases para un programa de tal índole. Estos programas o sugerencias se justifican igualmente como una ocasión de relecturas de la literatura colombiana, multiplicando los enfoques desde la perspectiva comparatista para una nueva valoración, pero, también, para crear nuevas continuidades entre las letras colombianas y otras literaturas hispanoamericanas. Esta estrategia supone llevar a cabo estudios que ponen de relieve ciertas diferencias o, mejor dicho, “lo diferencial” como base de lo que llamamos espontáneamente comparación.

La Cosmographie universelle de François de Belleforest, publicada en París en 1575, aborda el Caribe2. Este espacio está representado particularmente con datos sobre el mundo indígena ensamblados de forma arbitraria, pero llevando un orden temático. En este artículo mostraré cómo se entretejen las voces latentes en los capítulos caribeños de la Cosmographie universelle. Primeramente, mostraré algunos imaginarios europeos, específicamente franceses, sobre el continente americano. Seguidamente ahondaré en el método escritural utilizado por Belleforest para la construcción de dichos capítulos; para ello analizaré una a una sus fuentes. Finalmente mostraré y concluiré con los aspectos de construcción historiográfica más relevantes de su método de escritura.
Usos de la poesía francesa en Antonio José Restrepo (Poesías originales y traducciones poéticas, 1899) y Miguel Antonio Caro (Traducciones poéticas, 1889)
Authors: Serrurier Cécile
Published: May 2018

Este trabajo se concentra en Antonio José Restrepo y Miguel Antonio Caro, dos figuras del liberalismo y conservadurismo colombiano y también poetas-traductores, que publicaron sus versiones de poemas franceses en el fin del siglo XIX, en Poesías originales y traducciones poéticas (1899) y Traducciones poéticas (1889). El análisis de algunas de sus estrategias de traducción permite poner de relieve el uso diferente que tienen de la poesía francesa, abriendo así una pista de reflexión sobre el papel político de la traducción durante la Hegemonía Conservadora.
Comparatismo intercultural en Colombia: mestizaje y oralidad
Authors: Penilla Céspedes Conchita
Published: May 2018

Los cuentos orales recopilados y sus elementos lingüísticos (numerosos africanismos), con referencias culturales africanas, e incluso de costumbres, de hábitos alimenticios, de concepciones e ideologías religiosas, con su magia y su música nos trasladaron a los países africanos de los ancestros esclavos. Se tratade evaluar, analizar y medir la supervivencia de la cultura africana en nuestra cultural nacional –o mejor- local, que se había transformado en una cultura profunda y rica, en una rica cultura afro colombiana. Toca emprender un estudio global y general, utilizando como problema inicial la heterogeneidad cultural de Colombia, para estudiar la cultura negra y su desarrollo. Los análisis posteriores, etnográficos y lingüísticos, permiten al comparatista en este seguimiento histórico de la evolución de la cultura africana determinar los orígenes de los negros de Colombia.
Marcas de la literatura francesa en Cien años de soledad
Authors: Moreno Blanco Juan
Published: May 2018

El propósito de este trabajo es revisar la bibliografía de trabajos comparatistas que hace relucir las relaciones de la literatura de García Márquez con autores y obras de la literatura francesa. Se busca en particular postular cómo la saga familiar de la novela de Maurice Druon Los reyes malditos (Les rois maudits), publicada entre 1955 y 1960, tiene muchos puntos en común con la saga familiar de Cien años de soledad y por esta razón proponer que esta obra literaria habría podido ser uno de los modelos que participó en el armazón temático-narrativo de la novela que el escritor colombiano publicó en 1967.

Sustainable consumption, the social dimension
Authors: Ayala Neil Michael
Published: May 2018

This review contributes to a deeper understanding of what quality of life means from a sustainable consumption perspective. Different motivations of consumers, and the contributions of the rich and poor to unsustainable patterns of consumption are presented. This paper opens the discussion around the complex relationship between consumption, values, identity and mechanisms for making purchase choices in a globalized context, and under the light of relevant literature. Smaller and more localized economic models are described as positive strategies for considering new ways of perceiving a simpler and more local lifestyle as positive to the environment. This paper emphasizes the importance of cultural and ethical values, which are directly linked to patters of consumption.

Species within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) Complex are genetically monomorphic, hence the need of genotyping methods for a comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology of the disease. The genetic diversity of a Spain collection of eighty-three, GenoType MTBC® -confirmed Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates was assessed by simplified AFLP and 15-loci MIRU-VNTR. AFLP results showed 7 patterns (P1-P7), Dice´s coefficient was 71% for P1 vs P7 and 96% for P1 vs P2 and P2 vs P4. MIRU-VNTR showed 25 unique patterns and 14 clusters. Lineages found were as follows: Haarlem (23, 36.51%), Cammeroon (2, 3.17%), LAM (12, 19.05%), West African (6, 9.52%) and EAI (1, 1.59%). Discrimination indexes were 0.61 for AFLP and 0.92 for MIRU-VNTR. In conclusion,  MIRU-VNTR is robust and reproducible for MTB genotyping. Simplified AFLP is a relatively easy-to-perform approach that might be useful for screening of isolates or in low resource settings.

The research on coastal sand in Mataram-Lombok city, located at several beaches, namely, Gading, Loang Baloq, Penghulu Agung, and Ampenan, is to determine the percentage of magnetic mineral content, metal content, and oxide mineral composition contained on those sand. Iron is a sediment containing magnetite (Fe3O4), maghemit (ÃÂ³-Fe2O3) and hematite (ÃÂ±-Fe2O3) as the main mineral and several other minerals as a supporting mineral. Magnetic separation of natural sand by using a permanent magnet successfully separates the magnetic parts (iron sand) and non-magnetic. The separation results were then analyzed for Fe metal content, the quantity of metal content, and the quantity of oxide minerals using AAS, XRD, and XRF. The result of AAS analysis showed that Fe content in natural sand in Gading , Loang Baloq , Penghulu AgungÃÂ  and Ampenan Beach were 10,573 mg / gr, 12,816 mg / gr, 15,019 mg / gr, and 16,277 mg / gr, respectively. XRF analysis results in four locations have iron content respectively of 73.4%, 62.1%, 76.8%, and 69.8% in Hematite compound phase. As for the results of XRD analysis at these four locations the phases are magnetite and hematite phases.
