Inflammation influences the assessment of nutritional status. For example, inflammation reduces plasma retinol concentrations and vitamin A deficiency is overestimated. Conversely inflammation increases plasma ferritin concentrations and Fe deficiency is underestimated. Blood samples were obtained from 163 free-living HIV-1-infected adults, not on continuous medication, anti-retroviral drugs or micronutrients, not unwell and who had not reached WHO stage IV of HIV/AIDS. We used four markers of inflammation, C-reactive protein (CRP), α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), α1-antichymotrypsin and erythrocyte sedimentation rate but mainly CRP and AGP were used to separate the subjects into four groups: ‘healthy’ where both CRP and AGP were normal; ‘incubation phase’ where CRP was elevated; ‘early convalescence’ where AGP and CRP were elevated and ‘late convalescence’ where only AGP was elevated. Correction factors were calculated to remove the influence of inflammation from each biomarker and group where inflammation was present and the data are shown before and after recalculation. The correction increased median plasma retinol concentrations of the whole group from 1·16 to 1·33 μmol/l, comparable with values (mean 1·29 μmol/l) in HIV-negative Kenyan women. Median ferritin concentrations fell by about 50 % in both sexes and the number of women with plasma ferritin concentrations ≤ 12 μg/l increased from eleven to twenty. The correction also increased plasma carotenoids and Hb but not α-tocopherol concentrations. We suggest that the method described to remove the influence of inflammation from nutritional biomarkers should be generally applicable in apparently healthy people and prevents discarding valuable data because of mild inflammation. The method does now need to be tested in other populations.

Background

The cognitive and academic outcomes of infants exposed to radiation after the meltdown at Chornobyl have been intensely debated. Western-based investigations indicate that no adverse effects occurred, but local studies reported increased cognitive impairments in exposed compared with non-exposed children. Our initial study found that at age 11 years, school grades and neuropsychological performance were similar in 300 children evacuated to Kiev as infants or in utero compared with 300 classmate controls, yet more evacuee mothers believed that their children had memory problems. This study re-examined the children's performance and academic achievement at age 19 years.

Method

In 2005–2006, we conducted an 8-year follow-up of the evacuees (n=265) and classmate controls (n=261) assessed in Kiev in 1997. Outcomes included university attendance, tests of intelligence, attention, and memory, and subjective appraisals of memory problems. Scores were standardized using a local population-based control group (n=327). Analyses were stratified by parental education.

Results

Evacuees and classmates performed similarly and in the normal range on all tests, and no differential temporal changes were found. The results were comparable for the in utero subsample. The rates of university attendance and self-reported memory problems were also similar. Nevertheless, the evacuee mothers were almost three times as likely to report that their children had memory problems compared with controls.

Conclusions

Chornobyl did not influence the cognitive functioning of exposed infants although more evacuee mothers still believed that their offspring had memory problems. These lingering worries reflect a wider picture of persistent health concerns as a consequence of the accident.
The relationship between trauma and beliefs about hearing voices: a study of psychiatric and non-psychiatric voice hearers
Authors: Andrew E. M. , Gray N. S. , Snowden R. J.
Published: January 2008

Background

Cognitive models suggest that distress associated with auditory hallucinations is best understood in terms of beliefs about voices. What is less clear is what factors govern such beliefs. This study aimed to explore the way in which traumatic life events contribute towards beliefs about voices and any associated distress.

Method

The difference in the nature and prevalence of traumatic life events and associated psychological sequelae was compared in two groups of voice hearers: psychiatric voice hearers with predominantly negative beliefs about voices (PVH) and non-psychiatric voice hearers with predominantly positive beliefs about voices (NPVH). The data from the two groups were then combined in order to examine which factors could significantly account for the variance in beliefs about voices and therefore levels of distress.

Results

Both groups reported a high prevalence of traumatic life events although significantly more PVH reported trauma symptoms sufficient for a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Furthermore, significantly more PVH reported experiencing childhood sexual abuse. Current trauma symptoms (re-experiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal) were found to be a significant predictor of beliefs about voices. Trauma variables accounted for a significant proportion of the variance in anxiety and depression.

Conclusions

The results suggest that beliefs about voices may be at least partially understood in the context of traumatic life events.

Published: January 2008

In this work is accomplished the determination of the corona, local and non-local thermodynamic equilibrium regimes for optically thin carbon plasmas in steady state, in terms of the plasma density and temperature using the ABAKO code. The determination is made through the analysis of the plasma average ionization and ion and level populations. The results are compared whit those obtained applying Griem's criterion. Finally, it is made a brief analysis of the effects of the calculation of level populations assuming different plasma regimes in radiative properties, such as emissivities and opacities.
Mimesis and the Historical Imagination: (Re)Staging History in Cape Verde, West Africa
Authors: MCMAHON CHRISTINA S.
Published: January 2008

This article examines what is at stake when performers and playwright critically transfigure oral histories when staging them theatrically. Representations of race and colonial history are integral to a nation's conception of its own cultural identity. These issues are at the forefront of many theatre productions in Cape Verde, an intensely creolized West African nation whose islands bear traces of the Europeans and Africans who have commingled there for centuries. The article examines two performances rooted in Cape Verdean history that challenge existing theoretical paradigms for the mimetic relationship between actors and the historical personae they portray onstage. Proposing the concept of the ‘historical imagination’, it explores how theatre artists self-consciously alter the local history they circulate to an international theatre festival stage and, concomitantly, how the theatre festival context and media coverage profoundly impact how national history is told within a global performance arena.
Akhir Yom (The Last Day): A Localized Arabic Adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Authors: KHOURY YVETTE K.
Published: January 2008

This paper is an exploration of the 2004 Arabic adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, which premiered in Casino du Liban in Beirut. The Last Day was created by Oussama al-Rahbani, who also composed the musical scores. The play shows how local Shakespeares resonate with the wider global field of study, which in turn echo East–West cultural interactions. The Last Day challenges our perception of the Other in Arabic drama as it questions intraculturalism within the conflict-ravaged Middle East. It prompts us to ask how we should address local Shakespeares in a global context, and how local knowledge illuminates our understanding of Shakespeare's reception. This paper emphasizes the fluidity of the field of Shakespearean studies and the instability of East–West cultural divides.

Finding lice can be difficult in head louse infestation. We compared a new louse detection comb with visual inspection. All children in two rural Turkish schools were screened by the two methods. Those with lice were offered treatment and the results monitored by detection combing. Children with nits only were re-screened to identify latent infestations. Using visual inspection we found 214/461 children (46%) with nits but only 30 (6·5%) with live lice. In contrast detection combing found 96 (21%) with live lice, of whom 20 had no nits. Detection combing was 3·84 times more effective than visual inspection for finding live lice. Only 10/138 (7·2%) children with nits and no lice were found to have active infestation by day 16. We found that the detection comb is significantly (P<0·001) more effective than visual screening for diagnosis; that nits are not a good indicator of active infestation; and that treatment with 1% permethrin was 89·6% effective.
Observations related to theSalmonellaEU layer baseline survey in the United Kingdom: follow-up of positive flocks and sensitivity issues

Published: January 2008

A follow-on study was carried out on 23 holdings identified asSalmonellapositive in the 2004/2005 European Union (EU) baseline survey ofSalmonellain laying hens. Eleven of 13 cage and 4/7 floor houses remained positive forSalmonellawhen the new flock was tested, and from 10/13 cage and 3/7 floor houses aSalmonellaof the same serovar/phage type as found in the EU survey was isolated. There was a high correlation between the level of contamination in the houses at the time of the EU survey and in the follow-on flock. On seven occasions the house identified as positive in the EU survey was sampled after cleaning and disinfection but before a new flock was placed, and in all of themSalmonellacould be isolated from the houses. The observed number of infected houses in infected holdings suggests that the holding-level prevalence in the United Kingdom would be about 21% higher than the results obtained in the EU survey.
English vocabulary learning with word lists, word cards and computers: implications from cognitive psychology research for optimal spaced learning
Authors: Nakata Tatsuya
Published: January 2008

The spacing effect is known to be one of the most robust phenomena in experimental psychology, and many attempts have been made to realize effective spaced learning for L2 vocabulary learning. This study compares vocabulary learning with word lists, word cards, and computers in order to identify which material leads to the most superior spaced learning. In the experiment, 226 Japanese high school students studied ten English words with one of the three learning materials: lists, cards, and computers. One-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that although no significant difference existed between the Card group and the other two, the PC group significantly outperformed the List group on the delayed post-test. Item analysis using Chi-squares demonstrated that on the delayed post-test, the List group's successful recall rates for four of the ten items were significantly lower than those of the Card or PC group. Correlational analysis indicated that the time invested in learning and the subsequent post-test scores did not correlate significantly for the List and Card groups. Paradoxically, a negative correlation was observed between the PC group's study time and their post-test scores. The lack of meaningful relationships between the study time and subsequent retention may be partially due to the limited ability of certain learners to learn effectively while using certain materials. A questionnaire given to the participants found that, in general, computers were evaluated more favorably than lists or cards. At the same time, however, learners exhibited large variations in their evaluation of computers, implying the importance of considering individual differences when introducing CALL to learners. In summary, the study has demonstrated the superiority of computers over lists, the limited advantage of word cards over lists, and no statistically significant difference between computers and cards. The findings are significant because although the advantages of cards or computers have been advocated, no study has ever tested such claims empirically.
Integrating CALL and Genre Theory: A proposal to increase students' literacy
Authors: Lirola María Martínez , Cuevas María Tabuenca
Published: January 2008

The use of computer programs that can be used to correct and assess students' written work in the EFL classroom has become more commonplace within the last decade. This paper discusses the role of CALL in the process of data collection, standardisation of assessment criteria and compilation of the number of errors in the areas of grammar learning and its application to L2 writing. Students benefited from the correction process and showed increased grammatical awareness through the corrected feedback. However, the analysis of the results after the first correction phase demonstrated that the students had improved less than expected. For this reason, in the second year, Genre Theory was adopted as a theoretical framework so that students would become aware of the relationship between the structure and shape of texts in order to be effective in a particular context, and to achieve the goals of a particular culture. As proponents of the genre approach, we argue that making the genres explicit and showing how to write them will help students to be aware of how knowledge is structured in different written genres. A careful selection of text types was made at the beginning of the year so that improvement in the students' writing not only depended on the CALL system being used, but also on the different genres or text types used as class material. In this study, we intend to demonstrate that the combination of new technologies in the classroom and Genre Theory helped students to increase their writing competency. Our research highlights the relationship between literacy, new technologies, and effective writing with an emphasis on the educational application.
ROMOLAAND VICTORIAN LIBERALISM
Authors: Malachuk Daniel S.
Published: January 2008

In his 1867 review of two recenthistorical novels, Henry James worried that, barring “a second Walter Scott,” no modern mind could synthesize the increasingly scientific discipline of history and the imagination of fiction. “[S]tory-tellers are, for the most part, an illogical, loose-thinking, ill-informed race” (280), James teased, while the new historian – he refers to “writers of a purely scientific turn of mind” such as “Niebuhr and Mommsen, Gizot and Buckle” (278) – “works in the dark, with a contracted forehead and downcast eyes, on his hands and knees, as men work in coal-mines” (279). James's anxious jocularity does little to disguise his interest in (and intimidation before) the ascetic historian, particularly that new professional's willingness to “say sternly to his fancy: So far thou shalt go, and no further.” Why, James subsequently wondered, should the novelist “not [also] imprison his imagination, for the time, in a circle of incidents from which there is no arbitrary issue, and apply his ingenuity to the study of a problem to which there is but a single solution” (279)?
HISTORICIZING TRAUMA: THE GENEALOGY OF PSYCHIC SHOCK INDANIEL DERONDA
Authors: Matus Jill L.
Published: January 2008

In the penultimate book ofDaniel Deronda, Gwendolen Harleth appears in a state of physical and mental shock after the drowning of her detested husband. Exposed to an increasingly popularized discourse of trauma, today's readers would have little trouble in identifying and labeling Gwendolen as a traumatized subject, suffering from a variety of typical symptoms in the aftermath of her terrible experience. She is fixated on the “dead face” of Grandcourt in the water, hallucinating it everywhere. Later, she complains that she “can't sleep much” and that “[t]hings repeat themselves in me so. They come back – they will all come back” (659; ch. 65). Disoriented in the present, she seems to return repeatedly to the past, the line between her interior world and the external world growing increasingly tenuous: “She unconsciously left intervals in her retrospect, not clearly distinguishing between what she said, and what she had only an inward vision of” (594; ch. 56). In her conversation with Daniel Deronda, she is described as being silent for a moment or two, “as if her memory had lost itself in a web where each mesh drew all the rest” (592; ch. 56). Deronda wonders whether she “was she seeing the whole event – her own acts included – through an exaggerating medium of excitement and horror.” (591; ch. 56).
CONSERVATION OF SYMPATHY INCRANFORD
Authors: Rappoport Jill
Published: January 2008

By the mid-nineteenth century, British women had ample motivation for imagining forms of charity that did not require money. Property laws continued to deprive most married women of personal wealth and new statistics revealed a “surplus” of unmarried middle-class women lacking employment. Elizabeth Gaskell addressed these financial challenges by envisioning alternative forms of economic power for women. Her novellaCranford(1851–53) depicts a community of shabby-genteel women who support each other, in the virtual absence of men, through gift practices. Using principles of sympathetic and economic conservation,Cranford'ssystem of exchange reworks material limitations, turning these women's lack of private property to their advantage.Cranfordis among a number of mid-century works that treat sympathetic exchange in a sustained manner and on an expanded scale, writing women's charity in terms of sympathy and sisterhood rather than coin. By doing so, it not only co-opts the traditional province of the upper class by pitting middle-class women's care-giving against unfeeling wealth, but also defines a sympathetic gift economy in opposition to the masculinized marketplace essential to such models of charity as that of Dickens's turkey-buying Scrooge.
Kelvin Probe Microscopy of Localized Electric Potentials Induced in
Insulating Materials by Electron Irradiation
Authors: Stevens-Kalceff Marion A.
Published: January 2008

Kelvin probe microscopy (KPM) is a specialized atomic force
microscopy technique in which long-range Coulomb forces between a
conductive atomic force probe and a specimen enable the electrical
potential at the surface of a specimen to be characterized with high
spatial resolution. KPM has been used to characterize nonconductive
materials following their exposure to stationary electron beam
irradiation in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Charged beam
irradiation of poorly conducting materials results in the trapping of
charge at either preexisting or irradiation-induced defects. The
reproducible characteristic surface potentials associated with the
trapped charge have been mapped using KPM. Potential profiles are
calculated and compared with observed potential profiles giving insight
into the charging processes and residual trapped charge
distributions.
Charge Trapping in Dielectrics
Authors: Bonnelle C.
Published: January 2008

When a dielectric is irradiated by electrons with energy E
of several kiloelectron volts, a large number of processes take place:
backscattering of incident electrons, excitation and ionization of the
electrons in the dielectric with binding energies lower than
E, creation of excitons, radiative and nonradiative decays of
the excited and ionized states, slowing down of the primary and
secondary electrons, and thermalization in the conduction band. The
thermalized electrons can move freely in the unoccupied conduction
states of the material. If electric connection exists between the
dielectric and the apparatus, then the charges normally flow out.
Thermalized electrons can also be trapped in excited levels localized
in the band gap of the dielectric and nonradiative and radiative
recombinations from these levels can be observed. The number of the
trapped electrons varies with the structural characteristics of the
dielectric. In a monocrystal, this number is weak because the number of
the defect states in the band gap is small, making the localization of
the charges restricted. In contrast, in a polycrystal or amorphous
material, the number of the trapped electrons can be large and
increases with the disorder. Information on the charge effects suffered
by the sample during its irradiation can be deduced by studying the
trapping of electrons in localized states and, consequently, by
analyzing radiations emitted from these states in the visible and X-ray
ranges. In the case of oxides, F+ centers
(oxygen–ion vacancy having trapped one electron) and F
centers (F+ center having trapped a second
electron) are generally present. We will show that the
F+ [harr ] F conversion can be used to
study the dynamic of the trapping in the oxides. Application to various
samples of crystallized and amorphous alumina will be presented.
Quantitative Electron Probe Microanalysis of Nonconducting
Specimens: Science or Art?
Authors: Bastin Guillaume F. , Heijligers Hans J.M.
Published: January 2008

The influence of a lack of sufficient electrical conductivity on the
results of quantitative electron probe microanalysis has been
investigated on a number of oxides. The effect of surface charging and
the way it alters the emitted X-ray signals has been studied. It is
shown that the presence of conducting coatings, such as carbon or
copper, will affect the interelement X-ray intensity ratios, whatever
the thickness of the coating may be. Although the effects for heavier
elements may be acceptable, they cannot be ignored for a light element
such as oxygen, where strong variations with coating thickness were
observed. Quantitative analyses of oxygen, on uncoated well-conducting
oxide specimens, using uncoated well-conducting hematite
(Fe2O3) as a standard yielded excellent results
in the range between 4 and 40 kV with the φ(ρz)
software used. As soon as coated nonconducting specimens were examined,
using the same hematite standard, coated under exactly the same
conditions, widely scattering and noncoherent results were obtained.
These discrepancies can only be attributed to a lack of
conductivity.
Charging Processes in Low Vacuum Scanning Electron Microscopy
Authors: Thiel Bradley L. , Toth Milos , Craven John P.
Published: January 2008

A framework is presented for understanding charging processes in low vacuum scanning electron microscopy. We consider the effects of electric fields generated above and below the specimen surface and their effects on various processes taking place in the system. These processes include the formation of an ionic space charge, field-enhanced electron emission, charge trapping and dissipation, and electron–ion recombination. The physical mechanisms behind each of these processes are discussed, as are the microscope operating conditions under which each process is most effective. Readily observable effects on gas gain curves, secondary electron images, and X-ray spectra are discussed.
Assessing Charging Effects on Spectral Quality for X-ray
Microanalysis in Low Voltage and Variable Pressure/Environmental
Scanning Electron Microscopy
Authors: Newbury Dale E.
Published: January 2008

Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry of uncoated insulators performed
at low beam energy (incident energy ≤ 5 keV) and in the variable
pressure scanning electron microscope and the environmental scanning
electron microscope is subject to spectral artifacts. Charging
decelerates the incident beam electrons and reduces the impact energy,
lowering the available overvoltage to excite characteristic X-ray
peaks. The Duane–Hunt limit of the X-ray bremsstrahlung continuum
is commonly used as a diagnostic of charging. Dynamic charging effects
can hide the true impact of charging on the X-ray spectrum. Careful
examination of the behavior of the X-ray spectrum with time and other
variables is needed to avoid spectral artifacts, particularly on
relative X-ray intensities.
