MODELLING OF BONE FIXATION PLATE FROM BIODEGRADABLE MAGNESIUM ALLOY / KAULŲ LŪŽIŲ FIKSAVIMO PLOKŠTELIŲ IŠ BIODEGRADUOJANČIO MAGNIO LYDINIO MODELIAVIMAS
Authors: Šešok Andžela , Vaitiekūnas Mindaugas
Published: February 2019

Biodegradable materials are used in two key sectors of orthopaedics – to fabricate bone fixators and scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration. In case of osteosynthesis, fixators made from biodegradable materials disappear from the body after a certain time. So, a necessity of a one more operation for their removal is excluded. In the present study, the acromioclavicular joint osteosynthesis plates made of magnesium alloy (WE43), titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb) and stainless steel (316L) are compared utilizing the finite element analysis. The research showed that stresses in the magnesium alloy plate were lower, compared to the titanium alloy plate or the stainless steel plate. However, the tensile strength of magnesium is over 2 times lower, as compared to stainless steel and 5 times lower, than titanium alloys. Magnesium alloy is not suitable for manufacturing plates with low thickness (2 and 2.5 mm), because the stresses generated in them exceed the yield strength of the material.

Authors: Buni Maryam , Joseph Joyce , Pedroza Claudia , Theodore Sam , Nair Deepthi , McNearney Terry A. , Draeger Hilda T. , Reveille John D. , Assassi Shervin , Mayes Maureen D.
Published: February 2019

Objective.

To identify baseline features that predict progression of hand contractures and to assess the effect of contractures on functional status in the prospective GENISOS cohort.

Methods.

Rate of decline in hand extension, as an indicator of hand contracture, was the primary outcome. We assessed longitudinal hand extension measurements, modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (MHAQ) score, Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) physical function score, and demographic, clinical, and serological variables. Subjects with ≥ 2 hand measurements at least 6 months apart were included.

Results.

A total of 1087 hand measurements for 219 patients were available over an average of 8.1 ± 4.8 years. Hand extension decreased on average by 0.11 cm/year. Antitopoisomerase I antibody (ATA) positivity and higher modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) were predictive of faster decline in hand extension (p = 0.009 and p = 0.046, respectively). In a subgroup analysis of 62 patients with ≤ 2 years from SSc onset, ATA and diffuse disease type were associated with faster decline in hand extension; anticentromere positivity was associated with slower rate of decline. Although the rate of decline in patients with disease duration ≤ 2 years was numerically higher, the difference was not statistically significant. Hand extension continued to decline in a linear fashion over time and was inversely related to overall functional status.

Conclusion.

ATA was predictive of contracture development in both early disease (≤ 2 yrs) and in the overall cohort. Hand extension declined linearly over time and was inversely associated with MHAQ and SF-36 scores. ATA positivity and higher baseline mRSS were predictive of faster decline in hand extension.
Very Low Disease Activity, DAPSA Remission, and Impact of Disease in a Spanish Population with Psoriatic Arthritis
Authors: Queiro Ruben , Cañete Juan D. , Montilla Carlos , Abad Miguel Angel , Montoro María , Gómez Susana , Cábez Ana
Published: February 2019

Objective.

To examine the grade of agreement between very low disease activity (VLDA) and Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) remission, as well as their association with the effect of the disease as assessed by the Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (PsAID) questionnaire in patients with psoriatic arthritis in routine clinical practice.

Methods.

Posthoc analysis of data from a cross-sectional multicenter study. Patients were included who fulfilled the Classification for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) criteria with at least 1 year of disease duration and were treated with biological and/or conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs according to routine clinical practice in Spain. Patients were considered in VLDA if they met 7/7 of the minimal disease activity criteria. DAPSA and clinical (c)DAPSA score ≤ 4 identified remissions.

Results.

Of the 227 patients included in the original study, 26 (11.5%), 52 (22.9%), and 65 (28.6%) were in VLDA, DAPSA remission, and cDAPSA remission, respectively. There was a moderate agreement between VLDA and DAPSA remission (κ = 0.52) or cDAPSA remission (κ = 0.42). Patients with VLDA had less effect of the disease as measured by PsAID [mean total score (SD): VLDA 1.1 (1.2); DAPSA remission 1.3 (1.5); cDAPSA remission 1.7 (1.6)]. There was a moderate agreement between DAPSA remission or cDAPSA remission and PsAID < 4 (κ = 0.46 and κ = 0.58 respectively), while poor agreement (κ = 0.18) was found between VLDA and PsAID < 4.

Conclusion.

VLDA criteria seem to be more stringent for assessing a status of remission; however, DAPSA remission shows better correlation with a patient-acceptable symptoms state than VLDA does.
Repair of Erosions in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Forslind Kristina , Eberhardt Kerstin , Svensson Björn
Published: February 2019

Objective.

The aim of this study was to examine the occurrence of repair in a cohort of conventionally treated patients with early rheumatoid arthritis over 8 years.

Methods.

There were 395 patients included in the BARFOT study having radiographs of hands and feet at inclusion, and at 1, 2, 5, and 8 years, which were chronologically scored for erosions by the Sharp/van der Heijde method. An erosion with repair was defined as an erosion that has become partially or totally filled, with or without sclerosis.

Results.

Erosions with repair were observed in 64 patients (16%) at 1 year, 113 (29%) at 2 years, 142 (36%) at 5 years, and 200 (51%) at 8 years. At the 1-year visit, 13% of the patients with at least 1 new erosion showed repair versus 3% of the patients with no new erosions (p = 0.001). At 2, 5, and 8 years the corresponding figures were 22% and 6%, 28% and 8%, and 39% and 11%, respectively (all p = 0.001). The sum of all repaired erosions correlated strongly with the sum of all erosions and with the sum of all erosion scores (ρ = 0.79 and 0.77). Presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) and anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) was significantly associated with both new erosions and repair.

Conclusion.

Repair was more common than previously described. The frequency of repair increased over time and was associated with the number of erosions. RF- and anti-CCP–positivity, patient age, and presence of erosions at baseline were independent predictors of repair.
Fatigue Measurements in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Authors: Barbacki Ariane , Petri Michelle , Aviña-Zubieta Antonio , Alarcón Graciela S. , Bernatsky Sasha
Published: February 2019

Objective.

Fatigue is a frequent, disabling issue in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is, however, difficult to quantify. The Ad Hoc Committee on SLE Response Criteria for Fatigue in 2007 recommended using the Krupp Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Since then, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale has also been validated in SLE. We performed a review of instruments used to measure fatigue in adult SLE patients from 2007 onward.

Methods.

We searched PubMed, Medline, and Embase (January 2008–October 2017), identifying clinical trials and observational studies in adult SLE, where fatigue was a specifically measured outcome. All English and French studies were reviewed to determine fatigue measures and results.

Results.

Thirty-seven studies met inclusion criteria. Eight scales were used. The visual analog scale (VAS), FSS, and FACIT-Fatigue Scale were most frequent. FSS was the most often used instrument in both clinical trials and observational studies. Twenty-five of the 37 studies demonstrated a difference in fatigue that was statistically significant and clinically meaningful. Of the 12 studies that did not, 6 used FSS, 3 used VAS, 2 used the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue, and 1 used the Brief Fatigue Index. All 6 studies using the FACIT-Fatigue Scale detected clinically meaningful and statistically significant differences.

Conclusion.

VAS, FSS, and FACIT-Fatigue Scale were the most frequently used instruments in adult SLE studies from 2008 to 2017. Many studies detected clinically important changes in fatigue. Fatigue remains a key measure in both clinical trials and observational SLE studies.
Peritenon Extensor Tendon Inflammation in Psoriatic Arthritis Is an Enthesitis-related Lesion
Authors: Macía-Villa Cristina , Falcao Sandra , Gutierrez Marwin , Medina Julio , Hammer Hilde Berner , De Miguel Eugenio
Published: February 2019

Objective.

To analyze the association between enthesitis, synovitis, and peritenon extensor tendon inflammation (PTI) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Methods.

PsA patients with swelling of metacarpophalangeal joints were included. Greyscale and power Doppler (PD) were used for synovitis and PTI ultrasound identification. Madrid Sonographic Enthesis Index (MASEI) was used for enthesitis assessment. PD activity was evaluated using PD item of MASEI and PD Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) definition.

Results.

Synovitis had no association with enthesitis. PTI was associated with PD MASEI and PD OMERACT. Only PD OMERACT showed a positive correlation with PTI.

Conclusion.

In PsA, PTI is associated to enthesitis, as opposed to synovitis.
Utility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Diagnosis and Monitoring Enthesitis in Patients with Spondyloarthritis: An OMERACT Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Mathew Ashish J. , Krabbe Simon , Kirubakaran Richard , Barr Andrew J. , Conaghan Philip G. , Bird Paul , Østergaard Mikkel
Published: February 2019

Objective.

A systematic literature review was performed to document published magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion definitions and scoring systems for enthesitis in spondyloarthritis (SpA).

Methods.

PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for original publications involving adult patients with SpA undergoing MRI of axial/peripheral joints. Selected articles were assessed for quality using a standardized assessment tool and metric indices.

Results.

Considering the heterogeneous design, quality, and outcome measures of studies, statistical data pooling was considered inappropriate. A qualitative narrative of results was undertaken based on study designs.

Conclusion.

Lack of a comprehensive, validated score warrants additional research to develop an MRI enthesitis scoring system. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42018090537.

Prospective et territoires
Authors: Mocellin Philippe
Published: February 2019

Affirmer que la prospective et ses méthodes d’analyse et à la différence de la simple prévision statistique et de la prédiction prophétique, sont bien en mesure d’éclairer la décision publique du présent, c’est admettre, non seulement, que la politique a encore un sens mais que celle-ci se doit de lutter contre son propre penchant « court-termiste ». En quoi alors, nos territoires, confrontés de plein fouet à la raréfaction des moyens publics et aux grands défis sociétaux et environnementaux, pourraient-ils engager des démarches globales, mariant, « anticipation et transparence démocratique », au point de devenir, avec toute la prudence nécessaire, un modèle à suivre ? Plus encore et à l’encontre de l’idée encore très répandue, nous osons affirmer que les élus locaux qui seront en capacité d’élaborer un projet de long terme, auront plus d’atouts, dans la préparation de prochaines échéances électorales, que ceux dont l’horizon ne semblera pas dépasser la durée de leur propre mandat.
La prospective face aux dialogues pythiques
Authors: Roubelat Fabrice
Published: February 2019

Les Dialogues pythiques de Plutarque donnent à la discussion des méthodologies prospectives d’anticipation le regard du temps long. Afin d’éviter le risque d’anachronisme, la première partie contextualise les Dialogues pythiques et en présente les protagonistes. À partir de la discussion de chacun des trois dialogues, la deuxième partie discute les processus d’anticipation selon trois perspectives : les horizons symboliques de la prospective ( Le E de Delphes ), les changements de paradigmes que les scénarios révèlent ( Sur les oracles de la Pythie ), la transformation sans fin des visions du monde ( Sur la disparition des oracles ). Chacune de ces perspectives ouvre des axes de recherche sur la fonction des mythes en prospective, le questionnement du concept de paradigme, la problématique de l’attachement aux points fixes que constituent les états finaux des scénarios.

The effect of using flipped teaching in project management class for undergraduate students
Authors: Abushammala Mohammed
Published: February 2019

Teaching Project Management module to undergraduate students is important and has been globally considered in multiple academic disciplines by many higher institutions. Students in undergraduate level encounter difficulty in understanding the topic of project management since there have no prior knowledge before the course. This paper aimed to determine the effectiveness of flipped teaching and active learning in Project Management module for undergraduate students in Civil Engineering. However, the paper discussed the effective practices in teaching and learning project management and their impacts into students’ learning experience, and assessments development and marking. The Padlet and SurveyMonkey e-tools were used to collect students’ feedback on the instructor practice; either by tagging comments or filling questionnaire. The results indicated that the use of multiple in-class activities and digital technology in a flipped classroom are important to enhance students’ performance. It is also observed that the use of multiple assessments engaged students deeply with the course and provide deeper learning. Students’ performance in summative assessments showed that there is a noticeable improve in student’s scores in the current semester in contrast with previous semester where traditional teaching was practiced.

Students in class X 1 and X-2 were 35 students and 32 students.  The result of t-test showed that the value of post-test for experimental class using make a match learning model was 54.87. The post-test result from the control class using the conventional model was 48.05. The post-test using the make a match had the higher learning outcome than the conventional model. The make a match learning model had increased the student learning outcome of geography.
Continued Inpatient Care After Primary Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Is Associated With Increased Short-term Postdischarge Morbidity: A Propensity Score–Adjusted Analysis
Authors: Apostolakos John M. , Boddapati Venkat , Fu Michael C. , Erickson Brandon J. , Dines David M. , Gulotta Lawrence V. , Dines Joshua S.
Published: February 2019

Advances in surgical technique and implant design during the past several decades have resulted in annual increases in shoulder arthroplasty procedures performed in the United States. The purpose of this investigation was to use the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database to analyze the rates of morbidity following shoulder arthroplasty. The authors hypothesized that, independent of predischarge patient factors, discharge to inpatient facilities is associated with increased short-term morbidity. Patient demographics, intraoperative variables, and information about postoperative complications/readmissions up to 30 days after the operative event were collected from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database for the period 2005 to 2015. Patients were divided into 2 cohorts based on discharge to home vs non-home facilities. Unadjusted baseline patient characteristics were compared using Pearson's chi-square test, and a propensity score–adjusted comparison was also performed. Overall, 9058 patients were included. Of these, 7996 (88.3%) were discharged to home and 1062 (11.7%) were discharged to a non-home facility. On propensity-adjusted analysis, complications determined to be statistically significantly associated with non-home discharge included cardiac (odds ratio, 4.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.75–10.04;
P
=.001), respiratory (odds ratio, 2.63; 95% confidence interval, 1.47–4.70;
P
=.001), urinary tract infection (odds ratio, 2.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.52–4.67;
P
=.001), and death (odds ratio, 7.51; 95% confidence interval, 2.42–23.27;
P
<.001). Overall, complications were statistically significantly associated with non-home discharges (odds ratio, 2.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.59–2.64; propensity-adjusted
P
<.001). This investigation indicated an association between postdischarge placement into non-home facilities and an increase in short-term morbidity, regardless of preoperative patient comorbidities. [

Nonunion and Reoperation After Internal Fixation of Proximal Femur Fractures: A Systematic Review
Authors: Koso Riikka E. K. , Zura Robert , Steen R. Grant
Published: February 2019

Nonunion after fixation of a proximal femur fracture is associated with increased disability, pain, and cost to both patient and health care system. Understanding the effect of fixation method and fracture pattern on healing is important to optimize healing. The authors evaluated surgical healing, nonunion rate, and reoperation rate after internal fixation of proximal femur fracture, especially since the year 2000. They performed a systematic review of all published records from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Review system. The burden of proximal femoral fracture extends beyond acute disability, as it carries a high risk of long-term morbidity and mortality. Choice of fixation method for high-risk fractures is critical to reduce nonunion and reoperation rates. [

La muerte de Alonso Quijano, un adiós literario
Authors: Aladro Jordi
Published: February 2019

En este artículo se estudia el ultimo capitulo de El Quijote y la supuesta recuperación de la cordura por parte del hidalgo manchego. La vida de don Quijote está condicionada por los libros, son su esencia y guía. Si su existencia está basada en la imitación a los héroes ficticios de las novelas de caballerías, también lo estará su muerte. No se ha de olvidar y debemos de tener siempre presente el tono festivo e irónico constante en todo el libro. Un análisis desde el punto de vista de la duda y de la ironía del restablecimiento del juicio por parte de don Quijote nos da otra lectura distinta y, al mismo tiempo, creo que más coherente con el personaje cervantino, con su ser (Alonso Quijano) con su vivir (don Quijote) y en su morir (Alonso Quijano el Bueno).

“Vizcaínos en un berenjenal”
Authors: Hernández Pérez de Landazábal Luis Arturo
Published: February 2019

El presente ensayo trata de explicar la “coincidencia” de que el morisco Cide Hamete Benengeli tome el relevo como historiador de cabecera de don Quijote precisamente en pleno combate de éste con el vizcaíno Sancho de Azpeitia, en virtud de una tesis vascoiberista aceptada en la época, emparentando “a las tácitas” a los vascos con los moros. La hipótesis refuerza así la unidad estructural de los caps. VIII y IX de la 1.ª Parte del Quijote puesto que Cervantes plantearía en ambos un reto –digamos ya un órdago– a la sociedad feudal/foral vasca del s. XVII –desde el pueblo llano o la naciente burguesía burocrática al clero y la alta nobleza–, poniendo en evidencia la impostura común a su estatuto de súbditos privilegiados del Imperio. Amén de satirizar la presunta nobleza del –merced a su “endiablada” expresión– satánico vizcaíno, el autor habría ridiculizado los falsos cronicones –técnica estructural que se desvela en esta aventura–, velando –tal como aventuramos– la identidad de los frailes benitos –los vizcaínos PP. Haedo, supuesto autor y editor respectivamente de la historia del cautiverio en Argel–, así como la de uno de los “historiadores de La Mancha” –el cronista guipuzcoano afincado en Toledo Garibay–; eso por no hablar del resentimiento hacia la alta nobleza con privilegio de “pase a Indias”. Y ello, en un episodio de conflicto entre tres lenguas y culturas cuya complementariedad y perspectivismo fingen la imposible verdad del Hombre moderno coetáneo del autor.
Los cervantistas mallorquines: apuntes sobre la recepción crítica y las traducciones del Quijote al mallorquín
Authors: Cotoner Cerdó Luisa
Published: February 2019

Este artículo pretende ofrecer una panorámica suficientemente representativa del interés que Cervantes y el Quijote han suscitado en diferentes escritores, filólogos y traductores mallorquines desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta hoy. La descripción abarca dos perspectivas: la crítica, centrada en la recepción del Quijote o en la figura de su creador, y la traductológica, enfocada hacia el análisis de las versiones mallorquinas del Quijote. En ambas, los cervantistas mallorquines han sabido mantener su propia voz en el concierto general hispano. Respecto a la primera, inclinándose por soluciones conciliadoras en polémicas y diatribas. Y, en cuanto a la segunda, optando por una peculiar manera de traducir el Quijote adaptándolo a la lengua autóctona hasta extremos insólitos en comparación con el resto de las versiones al catalán.

La imagen del cazador que persigue la presa que huye y deja la que atrapa, dentro de un contexto amatorio (el enamorado es el cazador que persigue a la amada huidiza, abandonando a la que ya ha conseguido), se inicia con Calímaco y llega hasta Cervantes, quien la tomaría no de las fuentes clásicas, sino del Orlando Furioso de Ariosto. La imagen adquiere diversas aplicaciones, según los autores que la utilizan.

A Lexicological Study of Arabic and Judaeo-Arabic in Iraqi Hebrew Novels
Authors: Ahmed Mohamed A. H.
Published: February 2019

Sami Michael (b. Baghdad, 1926), Shimon Ballas (b. Baghdad, 1930) and Eli Amir (b. Baghdad, 1937) are three Iraqi Jewish authors who immigrated to Israel, having left Iraq during the mass migration of Jews from Arab countries during the 1950s. Although their mother tongue is Arabic, these three Iraqi Jewish authors felt that they needed to write in Hebrew if they were to have successful literary careers in Israel. Nonetheless, Arabic still appears in their literary works. Yet, the Arabic variety employed in their literary works belongs, in many aspects, to the so-called Iraqi Judaeo-Arabic.This study investigates the Judaeo-Arabic lexical items used in six modern Hebrew texts written by the three Iraqi Jewish authors mentioned above. The novels were published between 1964 and 1993. A semantic field analysis is applied to a corpus of six hundred pages, in which the first 100 pages of each novel are taken as a sample. The study shows in numerical statistics the portion of each semantic field used in the corpus followed by a discussion of the data in the view of the linguistic analysis of the phonological, morphological, syntactic and ethnographic aspects of the Iraqi Judaeo-Arabic lexical items in accordance with the texts.
The Tense in Central Asian Arabic Dialects: (Complex (Immediate)) Future and Present Definite (Continuous tense)
Authors: Chikovani Guram
Published: February 2019

The peculiarities of Bukhara (BAD) and Qashqa-darya (QAD) Arabic dialects are mostly resulted by linguistic contacts with non-kindred to the Semitic languages Turkic (Uzbek, Turkmen) and Indo-European (Tajik, Dari and partly Russian) languages. In the mentioned dialects we see the old Arabic/Semitic forms and morphological formation as well as the cases of internal development. The changes caused by extra linguistic features must be taken into account as well. Central Asian Arabs’ century long isolation from Arab world makes linguistic features of verb formation in Bukhara and Qashqa-darya dialects extremely interesting and important from the point of view of independent development of Semitic linguistic material.In the paper is given analyse of the Complex (Immediate) Future and Present Definite Tenses as well as the origins of the morphological elements used for the formation of the mentioned tenses.
Khuzestan Arabic and the Discourse Particle ča
Authors: Leitner Bettina
Published: February 2019

The dialect of the southwestern Iranian province Khuzestan belongs to the gələt-subgroup of Mesopotamian Arabic. It also shows great affinity to other northeast-Arabian dialects such as the Arabic dialects of Bahrain – of the ʕAnaza type – or Najdi Arabic. The province’s vernacular language has been given little attention in the field of Arabic dialectology so far. Khuzestan Arabic is an Arabic enclave in a predominantly Persian-speaking environment. As such, it shows signs of stronger influence by Persian, the language of education and work, than by Modern Standard Arabic. For the same reason, this peripheral Arabic dialect also shows some interesting conservative features. The first part of this paper will present data collected in September 2016 during fieldwork in Khuzestan and compare it with the results of Bruce Ingham’s seminal studies on Khuzestan Arabic published in the 1970s. Furthermore, this paper will present a short discussion of the discourse particle ča, a topic, which has hitherto attracted the attention of Arabic dialectologists only marginally. The analysis of the particle will concentrate mainly on its syntactic and semantic characteristics.
Persian Loanwords in Baghdadi Arabic
Authors: Ionete Ștefan
Published: February 2019

Arabs and Persians never ceased to influence each other due to their proximity. This statement is also valid on a linguistic level, with the exchange particularly observable on the vocabulary. Mesopotamian Arabic was the most exposed to influence, being the closest neighbor of territories inhabited by Persian populations. For this study, I chose to analyze the Baghdadi Arabic as exponent of this dialectal group. Throughout the past centuries up until today, loanwords were transferred from one language into the other.In my paper, I will analyze the phonetic and semantic transformations of Persian loans and their evolution in Baghdadi Arabic (i.e. the Persian čangāl, “fork”, formed a lexical family in Baghdadi Arabic with the verb čangāḷ, meaning “to fasten together”, “to hook together” and with the noun čingāḷ pl. čnāgīḷ meaning “hook”, “safety pin”, “fork”). Also, I will examine whether the loanwords are borrowed directly from Persian or through Ottoman Turkish, such as pušt, “someone with an ugly character”, from pușt, “scoundrel” <Turk. (Reinkowski, 1998: 242), which, in its turn entered Ottoman Turkish form Persian (pošt, “back”, “rear”). Thus, although the original word is Persian, its meaning in Baghdadi Arabic was altered by Ottoman Turkish. My study is based on published dictionaries, phrasebooks and textbooks (such as: al-Hanāfī 1963, Alkım 1999, Anvari 2009 & Beene 2003) as well as on a corpus of data that I gathered in the past two years directly from Baghdadi Arabic speakers.
B(i)- / fi comme marqueur de l’objet dans les dialectes arabes. Premières considérations
Authors: Lentin Jérôme
Published: February 2019

In the vast majority of Arabic dialects, fi (rarely bi-) is the most used differential object marker. This contribution follows in the same vein as M. Woidich’s presentation on Egyptian Arabic at the 6th AIDA conference and other recent papers on Maghrebine dialects (mainly Tunisian). In it, we first consider whether it is appropriate to see the origin of this dialectal construction with fi in the bi- construction of Ancient and Middle Arabic. Then, within the limits of the presently available documentation on both Oriental and Maghrebine dialects, we try to provide a comprehensive overview of highly contrasting situations and, in an attempt to suggest future lines of research, we highlight the main differences existing between these situations. Finally, we propose to consider this use of fi as one of the ways through which to describe a verbal process in a concrete and detailed manner, a characterization that allows for an explanation of the variety of context-induced values that we observe.
The Dialect of Sfax (Tunisia)
Authors: Sellami Zeineb
Published: February 2019

This paper aims to describe the most outstanding features of the Arabic spoken in Sfax, the second largest city in Tunisia, which is located 270km southeast of Tunis. It is based on a fieldwork conducted in the old city of Sfax in September 2016. To the best of my knowledge, this dialect hasn't been thoroughly documented yet, except for one short description written by Dhouha Lajmi, which was based on her ‘empirical experience of the linguistic situation in Sfax' (Lajmi 2009). This article is an attempt to fill this lacuna in the field of Tunisian dialectology, by providing a linguistic sketch of the most prominent features of the Sfaxi dialect on the phonological, morphological, and morphosyntactic levels.While falling into the pre-Hilali category, this dialect retains some archaisms that make it very different from other varieties in Tunisia, and more generally in North Africa, making it useful for the account of the history of Maghrebi Arabic.
Origin of the Plural Adjectives of the Fuʿāl Pattern in the Modern Arabic Dialects
Authors: van Putten Marijn
Published: February 2019

In several modern Arabic dialects the noun pattern fiʿāl(ah) shifts to fuʿāl(ah) in emphatic environments. This development also affects adjectival plurals with an original shape fiʿāl. From this conditioned shift the innovative fuʿāl pattern was generalized to all adjectives. It is not likely that this development goes back to a Proto-dialectal “koiné”.
Linguistic Analysis of Puns and Common Sayings in Texts of Bilād aš-Šām
Authors: Blasio Emanuela De
Published: February 2019

This paper analyses puns and idioms in humorous cartoons produced in dialectal variants of the Syrian-Lebanese-Palestinian area. Colloquial expressions and puns play a predominant role in these artistic productions.In order to give impetus to a text or a concept, the author makes use of puns based on double meanings or on words that sound alike but which are distant in meaning. The aim is to create irony, to arouse other feelings in the reader in order to reawaken the consciousness.The use of colloquial expressions is necessary to engage with and transport the reader to the reality that the author wishes to communicate: it is interesting to examine the various expressions used in everyday life in the Arab world. Idiomatic expressions play a very important role: they are part of ʼadab “being well brought-up” or “good manners”, and they are numerous (greetings, requests, thanks, various exclamations). The collection of such expressions constitutes a rich source for linguistics, sociology and folklore.
Le discours politique en Tunisie entre fuṣḥā et ʿāmmiyya
Authors: Rosa Cristina La
Published: February 2019

Le discours politique tunisien a toujours accordé à la fuṣḥā une place de choix dans les situations officielles exigeant le recours à un registre de langue élevé ; quelques hommes politiques et chefs d’États, toutefois, ont à l’occasion prononcé des discours dans lesquels ils utilisaient d’autre variétés d’arabe, à savoir la ʿāmmiyya, et une troisième variété ‘mixte’, caractérisée par des éléments dialectaux ou dialectalisants (Blau 2003). L’emploi de cette langue ‘mélangée’, dans laquelle les variétés linguistiques passent graduellement de la fuṣḥā à la ʿāmmiyya et ne sont pas délimitables de façon nette (Lentin 1997, 2004), peut être un choix, volontaire ou inconscient, du locuteur. Dans le premier cas, bien que le destinataire du monologue demeure le peuple, lorsque l’occasion et les objectifs du discours changent, le chef d’État opte pour un registre différent tendant tantôt vers le haut, tantôt vers le bas du continuum linguistique, en fonction de la stratégie discursive retenue (Maalej 2012, Kesseiri 2015).L’analyse de quelques extraits d’un monologue du président El-Sebsī fera l’objet de cette étude. Il s’agit du discours tenu par le président tunisien le 20 mars 2015 au Palais Présidentiel de Carthage, à l’occasion du 59ème anniversaire de la Fête de l’Indépendance, célébrée deux jours après l’attentat du musée du Bardo. Je me concentrerai sur l’analyse des variétés linguistiques utilisées par El-Sebsī pour en mettre en relief les buts communicatifs. Seront ici pris en compte l’utilisation des signaux discursifs et le recours à des éléments ‘mixtes’ ʿāmmiyya/fuṣḥā en tant qu’éléments d’une véritable stratégie de persuasion adoptée par El-Sebsī.
An Omani Evolving Lexicon: From Carl Reinhardt (1894) to the Present Day
Authors: Morano Ph.d. Roberta
Published: February 2019

Oman is a country in constant evolution linguistically, economically and socially. Most of the linguistic studies carried out so far in the Sultanate are located in specific areas of the country and date back to the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century.Carl Reinhardt’s work – Ein arabischer Dialekt gesprochen in ‘Oman und Zanzibar, dated 1894 – is one of the most detailed and richest descriptions of Omani Arabic, specifically of the grammar, including the phonology and morphology, of the Banū Kharūṣ vernacular, spoken in the area of Nizwa and Rustāq (northern Oman), but also among the élite of Zanzibar island. The main purpose of his work was to provide a valuable linguistic guide to the German soldiers quartered on the island and in the Tanganyka region, which were an imperial German colony for a short time. The material supplied by Reinhardt still plays an absolutely essential role for neo-Arabic linguistics and dialectology, although it has some significant issues, such as the lack of Arabic original script and of a comprehensive glossary.Reinhardt’s lexical data, nevertheless, is extremely rich and characterized by some specific traits which make this vernacular different from any other Southern Arabic dialect. In this paper, I will try to outline this richness of Omani lexicon, starting from some examples in Reinhardt’s nineteenth-century core and exploring the variety and changes they underwent over time. These examples will be presented for specific semantic categories (e.g. body parts, food, animals), following the same format as that of the Behnstedt and Woidich's Word Atlas of Arabic dialects / Wortatlas der arabischen Dialekte (2011). Furthermore, a group of specific variations between the original meaning of a root and its different use in the Banū Kharūṣ vernacular, and a few borrowings from foreign languages will be presented and analysed.
Le Journal de la Médina. Un récent projet éditorial en arabe tunisien
Authors: Langone Angela Daiana , Mion Giuliano
Published: February 2019

Over the past few years the North African press exhibits some initiatives of publication of newspapers and magazines which are written in the Arabic dialects of the region. In particular, the Moroccan experiences have been largely investigated by the dialectological and the sociolinguistic literature. The present paper deals with a new editorial project which is published in Tunisia and is entitled Le Journal de la Médina, a magazine written mostly in Tunisian Arabic (dārža). The contribution aims to present some reflections on the Tunisian post-revolutionary sociolinguistic context that led to this type of publication as well as on the language(s) used in this magazine.
Peripheral Intravenous Access: Applying Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice to Improve Patient Safety
Authors: Nickel Barb
Published: February 2019

The most common invasive procedure performed in the hospital setting worldwide is the insertion of a peripheral intravenous catheter. Although use of peripheral intravenous access is common, its presence is far from benign, with a reported 35% to 50% failure rate, even in facilities with a dedicated infusion team. Significant complications related to the presence of a peripheral intravenous site include localized infection, bacteremia, phlebitis, and infiltration or extravasation. Consistent application of evidence-based standards of practice in all aspects of peripheral intravenous catheter care is essential to provide infusion therapy that delivers safe and quality care. Management of peripheral intravenous access in the complex setting of critical care is examined in this article. A case study approach is used to illustrate application of infusion therapy standards of practice in peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, indications for catheter placement, and assessment parameters to enhance early recognition of peripheral intravenous access–related complications.

Although growing evidence supports the safety and effectiveness of the ABCDEF bundle (A, assess, prevent, and manage pain; B, both spontaneous awakening and spontaneous breathing trials; C, choice of analgesic and sedation; D, delirium: assess, prevent, and manage; E, early mobility and exercise; and F, family engagement and empowerment), intensive care unit providers often struggle with how to reliably and consistently incorporate this interprofessional, evidence-based intervention into everyday clinical practice. Recently, the Society of Critical Care Medicine completed the ICU Liberation ABCDEF Bundle Improvement Collaborative, a 20-month, nationwide, multicenter quality improvement initiative that formalized dissemination and implementation strategies and tracked key performance metrics to overcome barriers to ABCDEF bundle adoption. The purpose of this article is to discuss some of the most challenging implementation issues that Collaborative teams experienced, and to provide some practical advice from leading experts on ways to overcome these barriers.

Equ(al)ity and Community in China after Forty Years of Economic Reform
Authors: AMIGHINI Alessia A. , JIA Peitao
Published: February 2019

We suggest a methodology that combines a refined conceptual approach with a theoretically-inspired empirical assessment, to analyse how Sinicised Marxist theory as well as practice has invariably emphasised Marx’s philosophy of history, rather than any version of Marxist egalitarian political philosophy, and therefore developed a culturally distinctive version of Marxism as totalitarian and subsequently authoritarian (rather than democratic) socialism. We argue that Chinese socialism has appropriated and applied socialist ideals to China’s post-cultural-revolution development into an economic reform agenda without political transition. We suggest that China today runs an ethically and politically problematic regime under which the people enjoy neither sufficient social justice nor decent community values. Such lack of equality and community represents a major inherent contradiction of “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” which has to accept and even accommodate increasing inequality to drive future growth. This contradiction also makes the so-called Chinese Dream more one of national aggregate prosperity than a dream for the Chinese people.
Žad iz gore Kun: o simboliki žada v dinastiji Han
Authors: VRHOVSKI Jan
Published: February 2019

Članek govori o tem, kako se je v dinastiji Han (漢, 206 pr. n. št.–220 n. št.) v različnih virih odražala raba simbola žada (yu 玉) in kakšno ozadje je imela. Delo poskuša osvetliti tudi to, kako se je simbol žada uporabljal v različnih miselnih strujah: od konfucijanstva do nekonfucijanskih miselnih struj (daoistični viri in sinteze različnih misli, na primer v delu Guanzi 管子) in nazadnje še v najzgodnejših kitajskih budističnih delih. Članek s tem podaja tudi pregled stanja rabe simbolike žada, iz katerega so vzniknile vse prihodnje rabe simbola žada v kitajskih literarnih in tudi filozofskih in religioznih delih.
