Authors: Sarakul Orawan , Kotepui Manas , Marasa Ranee , Thepwarin Waehafeeyah
Published: August 2018

Objective: To determine the prevalence and causes of anemia in high school girls in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in high school girls aged 15-18 years old. Blood samples were collected for hematological parameters, iron profiles and blood smear examination. The recall 24-hour dietary data were collected using a questionnaire to determine and calculate daily iron intake. For purposes of the study, anemia was defined as hemoglobin (Hb) of <12 g/dL and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) was defined as Hb of <12 g/dL with serum ferritin (SF) of <15 µg/L. Results: The results show that in 19 of a total of 227 subjects (8.3%) anemia was present. Iron deficiency was the main cause of anemia (13 of 19 cases) with a prevalence of 5.7%, while the prevalence of anemia due to other causes was 3.6% (6 of 19 cases). Iron deficiency without anemia was found in 36 cases (15.9%). Participants’ daily iron intake was less than the recommended 15 mg per day. Conclusion: The present study indicates that iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia in adolescent girls in Thailand. Health care programs in the schools should consider dietary behavior in order to reduce the prevalence of IDA in young women.

Introducción: Las malformaciones congénitas constituyen la segunda causa de mortalidad infantil en América del Sur, según datos de la OMS.

Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre los factores de riesgo prenatales y las malformaciones congénitas de pacientes internados en un hospital de referencia.

Material y Método: Estudio retrospectivo, analítico de caso-control, corte transversal en pacientes internados desde Octubre 2014 a Octubre 2015 que cumplieron con criterios de inclusión y exclusión como caso; además en pacientes ambulatorios que cumplieron criterios de inclusión y exclusión como control. Con pareo 1:1 por edad y sexo. Instrumento: encuesta estructurada. Tamaño de muestra con variable cualitativa, valor de Z: 1,9, P: 4% (Porcentaje en población general 2 a 5%) de la variable principal, valor de D: 95% y el valor de p de 0,05, resultando N: 60 por grupo.

Resultados: Se consideraron 66 casos y 66 controles pareados por edad y sexo; edades comprendidas de 1 mes a 15 años, media de 2 años (DE: +2,63), masculino 61%. Los Casos provenían 41% (27)  del Interior del País y los Controles 11% (7). Las malformaciones más frecuentes fueron las del sistema nervioso central 29% (19/66) seguidas de las cardíacas 23% (15/66). El diagnóstico prenatal por ecografía obstétrica se observó en 33% de los casos (21/66). Al realizar regresión logística multivariada se encontró asociación entre malformaciones congénitas y antecedentes de malformaciones en la familia (OR 20,8, 95% CI 2,66- 162,2), antecedente de un hijo previo con síndrome genético (OR 8,84, 95% CI 1,35- 73,86) y falta de suplementación con ácido fólico antes o durante el embarazo (OR 3,44, 95% CI 1,49- 8,33) distancia de la vivienda de campos fumigados menor a 1 km (OR 3,75, 95% CI 0,98- 14,31) y exposición materna directa a plaguicidas(OR 4,51, 95% CI 1,77- 11,46).

Conclusión: La  falta  de suplemento  de ácido fólico, el antecedente de malformación congénita en la familia y la exposición materna a agroquímicos tuvieron asociación estadística significativa. Se plantea probable sesgo de la falta de pareo por Procedencia.

1864 KAFKAS GÖÇÜ’NDE TRABZON’DA YAŞANAN SORUNLARA BİR ÖRNEK: DR. BAROZZİ - YAVER EFENDİ ÇATIŞMASI
Authors: YILMAZ Özgür
Published: August 2018

Trabzon, 1864 Kafkas Göçü’nde göçmenlerin Osmanlı topraklarına giriş yaptıkları ana limanlardan biri oldu. Ancak çok sayıda göçmenin Trabzon’a yığılması hem göçmenler hem de yerli halk için çok ciddi sorunları da beraberinde getirdi. Bu nedenle Osmanlı Hükûmeti, gerek göçmenlerin gerekse yerli halkın göçten kaynaklanan sorunlardan etkilenmemesi için Muhacirîn Komisyonu vası- tası ile bir dizi tedbir aldı ve Yaver Efendi’yi Trabzon’a gönderdi. Diğer taraftan, Meclis-i Tahaffuz da göç sürecine nezaret etmek üzere İtalyan asıllı Dr. Barozzi’yi Trabzon’a gönderdi. Ancak bu iki görevli Trabzon’daki faaliyetleri sırasında zaman zaman Vali Emin Muhlis Paşa’nın mü- dahil olduğu bir çatışmaya neden oldu. Dr. Barozzi, yolsuzluk yapmakla suçladığı Yaver Efendi'nin görevden alınmasını talep ederken Yaver Efendi de Dr. Barozzi'yi göç- menlere karşı sert davranmakla suçluyor ve yerine Müslü- man bir hekimin görevlendirilmesini talep ediyordu. Bu çalışma göçün Trabzon’da neden olduğu sorunlar çerçevesinde Trabzon’da yetkililer arasındaki bu çatışmayı inceleme ve bu konuda bazı tespitler yapmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Current trends in teaching in engineering have shown the need for a change on the traditional pedagogical models, by those who promote an approach to active learning in which the involvement of all stakeholders in the process is important . In this regard, through playful methodologies it is possible to use techniques and dynamics of simulation games as an eff ective means to involve and motivate students to develop their skills, that commonly in the classroom or their real life situations are restricted by their role as students, which sometimes makes it diffi cult to understand the problems that they must face in practice. In this sense, the present article shows the methodology used for the development of a simulation game for the development of skills and competencies of students of industrial engineering.
Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform, Graph Theory And Backpropagation Neural Network In Stock Market Forecasting
Authors: Rosalina Rosalina , Jayanto Hendra
Published: August 2018

The aim of this paper is to get high accuracy of stock market forecasting in order to produce signals that will affect the decision making in the trading itself. Several experiments by using different methodologies have been performed to answer the stock market forecasting issues. A traditional linear model, like autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) has been used, but the result is not satisfactory because it is not suitable for model financial series. Yet experts are likely observed another approach by using artificial neural networks. Artificial neural network (ANN) are found to be more effective in realizing the input-output mapping and could estimate any continuous function which given an arbitrarily desired accuracy. In details, in this paper will use maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) and graph theory to distinguish and determine between low and high frequencies, which in this case acted as fundamental and technical prediction of stock market trading. After processed dataset is formed, then we will advance to the next level of the training process to generate the final result that is the buy or sell signals given from information whether the stock price will go up or down.
Design and Development of Computer Specification Recommendation System Based on User Budget With Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Michael Michael , Winarno Winarno
Published: August 2018

There are a lot of things that must be considered when determining specifications of computer components to make sure those components chose are working compatible. According to a survey conducted to 78 respondents, about 72.5% of the respondents prefer to buy a built-up computer. The reason is because of a lack of knowledge of computer components and how to assemble computer properly. This research aimed to develop   a recommendation system that able to give recommendation of buying computer based on compatible components to be assembled, with the available budget, so that people who do not know computer components can also buy a assembled computer. The Genetic Algorithm was chosen for making this recommendation system because this Algorithm gives more alternative solutions through the process of crossover and mutation compared to the Greedy Algorithm which doesn’t produce a solution by trying all alternative solution nor  Exhaustive Search on Brute Force Algorithm which takes a long time to find optimum solution. The recommendation system of computer components specifications based on the budget available has been successfully developed using Genetic Algorithm and achieved 75.75% user satisfaction.

Of Predators and Preys: Corporate Psychopathy and Employee Burnout as Parallels
Authors: Oyewunmi Adebukola E. , Akinnusi David M. , Oyewunmi Olabode A.
Published: August 2018

Different personalities constitute modern workplaces. One of such personalities is the corporate psychopath, whose presence poses manifold threats to organizational existence. This study examines the personality of the corporate psychopath and specifically investigates the relationship between corporate psychopathy and employee burnout. A total of 104 respondents within a university setting in Nigeria completed measures of corporate psychopathy to establish the existence of the traits in their managers; a self-report measure of employee burnout was also completed. Corporate psychopathy correlates positively and significantly with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and decreased personal accomplishment. Results indicate that corporate psychopathy is an underlying factor of employee burnout. Enhanced whistleblowing structures and ethical regeneration are proffered to mitigate the consequences of corporate psychopathy in the face of cultural complexes that fan its flames.
Explaining the complexities of cross-linguistic features using comparable Arabic and English corpora
Authors: Almujaiwel Sultan
Published: August 2018

The aim of this paper was to conduct a critical inquiry into the status of equivalence in a given context in a bilingual lexicographical work and English–Arabic comparable corpora. This was intended to show the degree of accuracy which old-fashioned approaches and comparable corpora-based ones achieve. The investigation that was launched to demonstrate the degree of accuracy is based on the case of the entries questionnaire and survey, and their Arabic equivalents, al-ʾistiftāʾ and al-ʾistibyān. As these entries and equivalents have been given interchangeable senses in the lexicographical work, the comparable corpora have given evidence of clear-cut distinctions between them. The comparable English–Arabic corpora used in the case study is the Bank of English (WordbanksOnline) and the following three Arabic corpora: Arabic Internet Corpus, Arabic Wikipedia and arabiCorpus. The large-scale comparable English–Arabic corpora-based approach to the intended entries and equivalents has shown the importance of such a method. In spite of comparability between English and Arabic still being underdeveloped, the use of comparable corpora in this paper was identified by adopting the following criteria: sampling frame, genres, proportions and years of natural texts. Each entry with each equivalent were examined in their expanded concordance lines, with a span of about ten n-grams, in order to sketch their contextual senses. This has helped to criticise the contextually inappropriate equivalence of the intended entries. Such an analysis has implied that sketching contexts conveyed by large-scale source and target corpora can help to enhance the reliability of equivalence divisions.

Authors: Byler Nell , Dalcanton Julianne J. , Conroy Charlie , Johnson Benjamin D. , Levesque Emily M. , Berg Danielle A.
Published: August 2018

There is a long history of using optical emission and absorption lines to constrain the metallicity and ionization parameters of gas in galaxies. However, comparable diagnostics are less well developed for the ultraviolet (UV). Here, we assess the diagnostic potential of both absorption and emission features in the UV and evaluate the diagnostics against observations of local and high-redshift galaxies. We use the Flexible Stellar Population Synthesis (FSPS) nebular emission model of Byler et al., extended to include emission predictions in the UV, to evaluate the metallicity sensitivity of established UV stellar absorption indices and to identify those that include a significant contribution from nebular emission. We present model UV emission-line fluxes as a function of metallicity and ionization parameter, assuming both instantaneous bursts and constant star formation rates. We identify combinations of strong emission lines that constrain metallicity and ionization parameters, including [C iii] λ1907, C iii] λ1909, O iii] λ1661,1666, Si iii] λ1883,1892, C iv
λ1548,1551, N ii] λ1750,1752, and Mg ii
λ2796, and we develop UV versions of the canonical “Baldwin Phillips Terlevich” diagram. We quantify the relative contribution from stellar wind emission and nebular line emission to diagnostic line ratios that include the C iv
λ1548,1551 lines, and we also develop an observationally motivated relationship for N and C enrichment that improves the performance of photoionization models. We summarize the best diagnostic choices and the associated redshift range for low-, mid-, and high-resolution rest-UV spectroscopy in preparation for the launch of the James Webb Space T
elescope.
Convective Overshooting in sdB Stars Using the k–ω Model
Authors: Li Yan , Chen Xing-hao , Xiong He-ran , Guo Jun-jun , Chen Xue-fei , Han Zhan-wen
Published: August 2018

Mixing in the convective core is quite uncertain in core helium-burning stars. To explore the overshooting mixing beyond the convective core, we incorporated the k–ω proposed by Li into the Modules of Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), and investigated the overshooting mixing in evolution of subdwarf B (sdB) models. We found that the development of the convective core can be divided into three stages. When the radiative temperature gradient,

∇

rad

, monotonically decreases outwardly, the overshooting mixing presents exponential decay similar with Herwig, and the overshooting distance is to make

∇

rad

≃

∇

ad

at the boundary of the convective core, in agreement with the prediction of the self-driving mechanism Castellani et al. When the radiative temperature gradient,

∇

rad

, shows a minimum value near the convective boundary, the convective core may be divided into two if the minimum value of

∇

rad

is smaller than the adiabatic temperature gradient

∇

ad

. For the single-zone case, the overshooting mixing shows exponential decay, but the overshooting distance is much smaller than in the initial stage. For the double-zone case, the overshooting mixing is similar to that of the single case beyond the convective core, while it almost stops on both sides of the above convective shell. Our overshooting mixing scheme is similar to the maximal overshoot scheme of Constantino et al. In the final stage, helium injections into the convective core by the overshooting mixing happens, similar to the “core breathing pulses.”

Published: August 2018

Many high entropy alloy systems have been exploited in the past decade and among them AlCrFeCoNi alloy is widely studied. The structural and mechanical properties of AlCrxFeCoNi alloy was studied in this paper for different content of chromium (atomic ratio, x= 0.2 to 2.0 at. %). In this study, ten samples having different chemical composition were prepared from raw materials using RAV equipment, type MRF ABJ 900. The microstructure features, crystallite sizes and microhardness depends on chemical composition of the alloy. The microhardness values for AlCrxFeCoNi (x = 0.2 to 2 at. %) increases from 389.6 to 562.6 HV0.1. The maximum value of microhardness for the high entropy alloy AlCrxFeCoNi (x = 1), has been obtained for 20.55 wt% Cr and has the value 562.6 HV0.1.
Prevalence of the Risk of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder in the Stirring Task of Gari Frying as a Result of Different Sitting Postures
Authors: Olusola Adetifa Babatunde , Moses Samuel Taiwo
Published: August 2018

Certain characteristics of the work settings of the local method of gari frying have potential for harm which must be identified to prevent or reduce these harms. The sitting posture is one of such characteristics. In this paper, the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in the stirring task of gari-frying was assessed. This assessment covered two different sitting postures i.e. “sitting in front” and “sitting sideways” postures. A preliminary assessment was carried out using questionnaire and oral interview. Further assessment was done with a Quick Exposure Check (QEC). Gari frying in the location under study was dominated by women above 40 years while, the “sitting sideways” posture was mostly used. Most of the workers complained of discomfort at their shoulder/arm and back regions but, workers who take the “sitting sideways” posture complained of pains at their neck region. Discomfort in the wrist/hand region was the additional complain of workers who adopted the “sitting in front” posture. For the “sitting sideways” posture, QEC assessment revealed that the back, wrist/arm and neck regions were at a high risk of WMSDs, while for the “sitting in front” posture, only the neck region had a high risk of WMSDs. This paper reveals that the stirring task of the gari frying process is very tedious and has a risk of WMSDs that varies to different degrees depending on the sitting posture adopted

NetBill protocol is developed for selling and buying of information and goods through the Internet. In this approach, we have used Event-B as proof-based development method which integrates proof techniques for writing specifications and building the model systematically using refinement, the key point is to start with a very abstract model of the system under development. Step by step details are added to this first model by building a series of more concrete ones. This strategy eases the proof of the correctness of requirements because only a small number of proof obligations are generated at each step. The aims are constructing a model with a clear and accurate formulation of the communication protocol properties and discharge of all proof obligations. The outcome of this procedure was that we achieved a very high degree of automatic proof. We reached a good degree of automatic proof. All interactive proofs involved a small number of steps and were straightforward to reach.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is most likely caused by killing of β cells by autoreactive CD8+ T cells. Methods to isolate and identify these cells are limited by their low frequency in the peripheral blood. We analyzed CD8+ T cells, reactive with diabetes Ags, with T cell libraries and further characterized their phenotype by CyTOF using class I MHC tetramers. In the libraries, the frequency of islet Ag–specific CD45RO+IFN-γ+CD8+ T cells was higher in patients with T1D compared with healthy control subjects. Ag-specific cells from the libraries of patients with T1D were reactive with ZnT8186–194, whereas those from healthy control recognized ZnT8186–194 and other Ags. ZnT8186–194-reactive CD8+ cells expressed an activation phenotype in T1D patients. We found TCR sequences that were used in multiple library wells from patients with T1D, but these sequences were private and not shared between individuals. These sequences could identify the Ag-specific T cells on a repeated draw, ex vivo in the IFN-γ+ CD8+ T cell subset. We conclude that CD8+ T cell libraries can identify Ag-specific T cells in patients with T1D. The T cell clonotypes can be tracked in vivo with identification of the TCR gene sequences.
The algebra of conformal blocks
Authors: Manon Christopher
Published: August 2018

For each simply connected, simple complex group

G

we show that the direct sum of all vector bundles of conformal blocks on the moduli stack

\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g, n}

of stable marked curves carries the structure of a flat sheaf of commutative algebras. The fiber of this sheaf over a smooth marked curve

(C, \vec{p})

agrees with the Cox ring of the moduli of quasi-parabolic principal

G

-bundles on

(C, \vec{p})

. We use the factorization rules on conformal blocks to produce flat degenerations of these algebras. In the SL

_2(\mathbb C)

case, these degenerations result in toric varieties which appear in the theory of phylogenetic statistical varieties, and the study of integrable systems in the moduli of rank 2 vector bundles. We conclude with a combinatorial proof that the Cox ring of the moduli stack of quasi-parabolic SL

_2(\mathbb C)

principal bundles over a generic curve is generated by conformal blocks of levels 1 and 2 with relations generated in degrees 2, 3, and 4.

Letters of Marcus Antonius Kappus from colonial America III

The letter of Marcus Antonius Kappus (1657-1717) from Cucurpe in Sonora (Mexico), dated 20. January 1691, which is now published for the first time in the present study, is historically important, because it speaks in considerable detail o the revolt of the Tarahumara Indians in 1690. It is one of the few contemporary accounts of this revolt and brings a number of facts unknown so far.

The letter of Marcus Antonius Kappus which we publish in our present - the fifth - continuation of his letters from Colonial America is the last of his letters in the Erberg Collection that is preserved in the Archives of Slovenia. The text is preserved on a single sheaf of paper, 25.5 X 20.3 cm, written on both sides. The preserved text is a copy of a now lost original. The copy was made at the latest in the beginning of the XIXth century. The text is now published for the first time.
Demonios y mártires en la fuerza de la sangre de Cervantes
Authors: Zimic Stanislav
Published: August 2018

Sobre La fuerza de la sangre se han expresado muchas opiniones severamente condenatorias: »un fracaso«; falta de »buen gusto«; »it has no bearing on the business or meaning of life«; »it does not merit discussion«, »unworthy of Cervantes' genius«, etc. Para quienes han sostenido estas opiniones hay muchos graves defectos en la novela: estructura novelística muy ingenua; asunto inverosímil, lleno de increíbles coincidencias; desarrollo y desenlace »artificiosos« de la acción; personajes mal retratados, de psicología nada convincente (»Cervantes desantendió de triste manera la caracterización de sus personajes«); moraleja extraña de la historia; ejemplaridad cuestionable de la obra, etc.
La tragedia de Carrizales, "El celoso extremeño"
Authors: Zimic Stanislav
Published: August 2018

Muchos lectores píensan que El celoso extremeño es »de una perfección técnica maravillosa ..., cumbre de la novela corta«, lo cual »ha sido sin duda la causa de que 'los críticos, con tesonero empeño, se hayan encarnizado en buscarle analogías, precedentes e influencias de otras obras que puedan explicarnos hoy su excelencia y maestria«. Resulta oportuno hacer una breve re­ seña de estas fuentes o antecedentes literarios, mitológicos, folklóricos, biblicos ...,  propuestos hasta ahora, para enjuiciar mejor otras posibles inspiraciones significativas que se sugieren en nuestro estudio, todo como fondo para un análisis quizás mas fructífero de esta magnifica obra cervantina.
Das Bild Sloweniens in der österreichischen Literatur : Anmerkungen zum Werk von Joseph Roth, Ingeborg Bachmann und Peter Handke
Authors: Wallas Armin A.
Published: August 2018

Das »Eigene« und das »Fremde«  - ein (scheinbarer?) Gegensatz als (be­liebter) literarischer Topos. Im Bild des  - geographisch, zeitlich, sozial etc.- »Anderen« offenbaren sich Ängste, aber auch Wünsche und Hoffnungen. Das »Andere« kann zur Projektion eigener Unzuläglichkeit und geheimgehaltener, auch verdrängter Wünsche werden, aber auch zur Projektion utopischen Denkens. In der Ambivalenz zwischen der Tradierung von Stereotypen (nicht selten von  Vorurteilen) und dem Bemühen um die intellektuelle Erfassung fremder Lebenswelten, aber auch in der Ambivalenz zwischen der Sehnsucht nach einer Gegen-Welt und der  konkreten Auseinandersetzung mit der historischen Tradition, Sprache, Kultur und Lebensform des  »Anderen« bewegt sich die Konstruktion literarischer Bilder. Diese Konstruktion ist auch ein Akt der Selbstreflexion: im Bild, das man sich vom »Anderen« macht, ist man selbst mit-enthalten. Das literarische Bild des »Anderen«  ist zugleich Selbst­ Interpretation, es sagt oft  mehr über den Interpreten, als über den Gegen­ stand der Interpretation aus. Das »Andere«  wird zum Objekt, zum »image«, das aus  der  Perspektive des Betrachters, der zugleich Gestalter ist, gedeutet vird, aber auch zum  Spiegel des Beobachter-lnterpreten, der darin  - je nach Standort (und im Extremfall) - die Fratze seines Vorurteils oder das  Ideal seiner utopischen Sehnsucht sehen kann (oder zu  finden vermeint).
Rinconete y Cortadillo en busca de la picaresca
Authors: Zimic Stanislav
Published: August 2018

La relación de Cervantes con la literatura picaresca ha sido siempre objeto de animadas polémicas. Con referencia específica a Rinconete y Cortadillo se afirma que es novela picaresca; que no lo es en absoluto; que sólo lo es en parte; que sólo  »roza motivos picarescos«; que es »una novela de pícaros, que se encuentra a enorme lejanía de la novela -picaresca«; que representa »una picaresca diversa ..., en que los elementos picarescos adquieren una forma personalísima ... que supera una visíon unilateral ..., cuadro de género picaresco«, etc. En un estudio reciente se nos advierte cuán aventu­ rada es toda opinión sobre lo »picaresco« en Cervantes, cuando ni hay un monolítico género picaresco que pueda abarcarse con una definición satisfactoria. Más lógica y -prometedora sería así la consideración de Rinconete y Cortadillo en sus relaoiones específicas con obras consideradas tradicionalmente como »picarescas«, para destacar, en en cada caso, semejanzas, diferencias, nuevas funcínes del prestamo, etc.
"Das unausgesprochene Gefühl der Unzugehörigkeit" : Amerika als Zufluchtsmöglichkeit vor dem Selbst in Max Frischs Romanen Stiller und Homo faber
Authors: Kondrič Horvat Vesna
Published: August 2018

In seiner Rede Emigranten, die er 1958 anläßlich der Georg-BtichnerPreis- Verleihung hielt und woraus das Titelzitat des vorliegenden Beitrags stammt, äußerte Max Frisch die Meinung, jeder frei gewahlte Wohnsitz solle dem Schriftsteller das unausgesprochene Gefühl der Unzugehörigkeit gestatten.Mit dem Satz: "Ich bin nicht Stiller!" (St 9) beginnt Frisch seinen 1954 veröffentlichten Roman Stiller. Ein Mann - ein Bildhauer -, der viele Versuche unternommen hat, seiner 'eigentlichen ', seelisch-existentiellen Identität zu entgehen, flieht schlieBlich, als alle anderen Versuche (sich im Spanischen Bürgerkrieg als ein mutiger Mann, sich in der Ehe als ein idealer Mann, sich in der Kunst als erfolgreicher Bildhauer zu bewahren) scheitern, nach Amerika und läßt seine lungenkranke Frau Julika im Sanatorium in Davos zurück. Nach mehr als sechsjahrigem Fernbleiben kehrt er unter anderem Namen in die Heimat zurück und wird an der Schweizer Grenze - wegen vermeintlicher Verwicklung in eine Spionage-Affäre - verhaftet. An diesem Punkt beginnt der Roman.

'Nine times the space' : from translator's notes to Milton's Paradise lost
Authors: Strojan Marjan
Published: August 2018

Understanding the original meaning in the original context forms the basis of any translation. Translating poetry, however, requires an understanding which goes some way beyond the formal requirements of intelligent reading and informed interpretation. There are mental processes in any reading which are not easy to define in cognitive terms. Reading poetry, however, is by definition an aesthetic process, having a lot in common with our listening of music or looking at a work of art, where our cognitive functions are trained to be neither the exclusive interpreter of the subject nor the supreme selector of thought. Now, there are perhaps passages in Lacan or Nietzsche or Marx which can be enjoyed in synaesthetic terms as well as there are lines and sometimes whole paragraphs in Paradise Lost where little or no visual or musical perceptions are required beyond those usually· attached to any piece of theological meandering. But our perception of them is predetermined by the specific difference, inherent in the text, which relates not only to the difference of style, but also to the difference in our reading of them.
Interrogating the mirror : double-crossings in Hemingway's "The killers"
Authors: Carter Steven
Published: August 2018

Among the early critics who commented on the discrepancies between what "is" and what "seems" in "The Killers" was Edward C. Sampson, who pointed out in 1952 that very little in the story is what it appears to be: Henry's, which serves no alcoholic beverages, is a converted tavern run by George; AI and Max order breakfast at a lunch counter whose menu features dinner; the orders are mixed up; the time on the clock is wrong; Mrs. Hirsch runs Mrs. Bell's rooming house; and so on (item 2). Here Sampson let the matter rest, and most subsequent commentators have been content to see these discrepancies as "framing" the portrait of the disillusioned Nick Adams, who by story's end finds that the world of appearances conceals a terrifying reality beyond his imagination. There is, however, more to the narrative poetics of "The Killers" than a handful of discrepancies, which - significant as they are - do not explain the mechanics or, for that matter, the presence of complementarity throughout the story.
