“Dearest Reader, It’s Up to You”: Articulating the Theory of Aesthetic Response and Metafiction in Ian McEwan’s Sweet Tooth
Authors: Nóbrega Caio Antônio , Azerêdo Genilda 
Published: December 2019

In this paper, we aim at discussing the figure of the reader and the reading processes in Ian McEwan’s novel Sweet Tooth. To do so, we propose an articulation between the theoretical discourses on metafiction and the theory of aesthetic response. Drawing from theoretical frameworks elaborated mainly by Iser (1972, 1978, 1989, 2006) – regarding the theory of aesthetic response – and by Hutcheon (1980, 2000) and Waugh (1984) – regarding metafiction – we understand parody and mise en abyme as two metafictional procedures that constitute the structure of the implied reader. In this sense, if these metafictional creative strategies make the reading activity more complex, they also function as guiding systems to the reader, allowing him to pursue answers to the enigmas articulated within the novel. Parody and mise en abyme, for McEwan, are powerful tools in what we might perceive as a project to develop more proficient readers.
A coralidade e o mundo das parthénoi na poesia mélica de Safo
Authors: Ragusa Giuliana 
Published: December 2019

O artigo estuda a coralidade da poesia mélica (ou lírica) de Safo (Lesbos, c. 630-580 a.C.), na Grécia arcaica (c. 800-480 a.C.), e sua relação com o universo das parthénoi – as virgens ou moças ainda não casadas –, um dos elementos mais característicos e nítidos em seu corpus de fragmentos preservados. Para tanto, parte de um dos mais recentes, a “Canção sobre a velhice”, publicada em 2005, que provocou a rediscussão da dimensão coral das canções de Safo, e da natureza do grupo feminino de parthénoi a ela associado. O objetivo é reavaliar a relação entre a poeta e sua comunidade, pensando seu papel como líder das jovens e a função da coralidade na vida das jovens.
FDI in Selected Developing Countries: Evidence from Bundling and Unbundling Governance
Authors: Asongu Simplice 
Published: December 2019

The objective of this study is to assess governance drivers of FDI in a panel of BRICS and MINT countries for the period 2001-2011. We bundle and unbundle governance determinants using a battery of contemporary and non-contemporary estimation techniques. Our findings reveal the following: Firstly, for both contemporary and non-contemporary specifications, while the majority of our governance determinants of Gross FDI are significant, they are overwhelmingly insignificant for Net FDI. Secondly, the significance of the governance dynamics in increasing order of magnitude are general governance, political governance, economic governance, political stability, regulation quality and government effectiveness. Thirdly, for non-contemporary specifications, the significance of governance variables is as follows in ascending order of magnitude: economic governance, institutional governance, general governance, corruption-control, political governance and political stability. The importance of combining governance indicators is captured by the effects of political governance, economic governance and institutional governance. The results indicate that the simultaneous implementation of the various components of governance clarifies a country’s attractiveness for FDI location. Policy implications are discussed with particular emphasis on the timing of FDI and its targeting.

política del estado de ánimo. La debilidad de las políticas migratorias locales en Santiago de Chile
Authors: Thayer Correa Luis Eduardo , Stang Alva Fernanda , Dilla Rodríguez Charlene 
Published: December 2019

En este artículo se analiza el papel que desempeñan los municipios en el reconocimiento de los migrantes extranjeros en la provincia de Santiago de Chile. Partiendo de una argumentación teórica que vincula migración, derechos y reconocimiento, y de la exposición de la literatura que ha abordado el rol del Estado en sus niveles local y subnacional respecto a los asuntos migratorios, se sistematizan las acciones impulsadas por los gobiernos locales de la provincia de Santiago en el periodo 1990-2015. Se concluye que existe una baja institucionalización de la política migratoria, con consecuencias negativas en la orientación de sus prioridades en los ámbitos de intervención y en la producción y el reconocimiento de derechos.
KRITIK SALIM AL-JAbI ATAS HERMENEUTIKA MUHAMMAD SYAHRUR
Authors: Wathani Syamsul 
Published: December 2019

Criticism in interpretation studies shows a new phase of the interpretation of the Qur’an in contemporary academic studies of the Qur’an. Muhammad Syahrur is a fgure who became the object of criticism for some of his renewed ideas in contemporary studies of the Qur’an which are packaged in hermeneutics. Mahir al-Munanjad passed his book al-iskâ liyat Qirâ ah and Salim al-Jabi, al-Qirâ ‘at al-Mu’â shirat. This article focuses on Al-Jabi thinking with analysis on critical points. Al-Jabi made anBacademic criticism of Syahrur’s study, especially in the pattern of the approach used by Syahrur. Al-Jabi offers textual-contextual criticisms of the Shahrur approach patterned on language and thematic-historical analysis, which are often not in the context of the verses of the Qur’an.

Authors: Doubleday Annie , Errett Nicole A. , Ebi Kristie L. , Hess Jeremy J. 
Published: December 2019

Objectives. To develop a set of indicators to guide and monitor climate change adaptation in US state and local health departments. Methods. We performed a narrative review of literature on indicators of climate change adaptation and public health service capacity, mapped the findings onto activities grouped by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Ten Essential Services, and drafted potential indicators to discuss with practitioners. We then refined the indicators after key informant interviews with 17 health department officials in the US Pacific Northwest in fall 2018. Results. Informants identified a need for clarity regarding state and local public health’s role in climate change adaptation, integration of adaptation into existing programs, and strengthening of communication, partnerships, and response capacity to increase resilience. We propose a set of climate change indicators applicable for state and local health departments. Conclusions. With additional context-specific refinement, the proposed indicators can aid agencies in tracking adaptation efforts. The generalizability, robustness, and relevance of the proposed indicators should be explored in other settings with a broader set of stakeholders.
Vulnerability of Renters and Low-Income Households to Storm Damage: Evidence From Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico
Authors: Ma Chenyi , Smith Tony 
Published: December 2019

Objectives. To identify disparities in home damage from Hurricane Maria among Puerto Rican households with different housing tenure and income levels. Methods. Using household inspection data obtained by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), including an ordinal damage severity measure, we used generalized ordered logistic regression to estimate the relative risks of damage severities between renters and homeowners, and between households with different incomes. Results. With respect to the FEMA damage-severity classifications of “minor,” “major,” and “destroyed,” renters were more at risk than homeowners for both “major-or-destroyed” and “destroyed” outcomes. Similarly, lower-income households were at greater risk for both “major-or-destroyed” and “destroyed” outcomes. When we allowed for an interaction between income and housing tenure, the difference in risk of “destroyed” outcomes between renters and homeowners was substantially greater at lower income levels. Conclusions. These results provide evidence at the individual household level that renters and lower-income households are most vulnerable to hurricane damage. Our interaction results suggest that lower-income renters are particularly vulnerable to severe home damage. Public Health Implications. Disaster preparedness policies should raise structural standards for low-income housing to reduce risks of severe damage.
Synchronous Periprosthetic Joint Infections
Authors: Thiesen Darius M. , Mumin-Gündüz Seval , Gehrke Thorsten , Klaber Ianiv , Salber Jochen , Suero Eduardo , Citak Mustafa 
Published: December 2019

Background:
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a severe complication with increasing incidence. However, we are not aware of any robust data on patients having PJI at the same time in ≥2 joints that had undergone total joint arthroplasty, referred to as synchronous PJI throughout this article. The aims of this study were to investigate the probability of the development of synchronous PJI of another prosthetic joint and to identify possible clinical risk factors for the development of synchronous PJI. In addition, we aimed to determine whether routine aspiration of all other prosthetic joints was warranted after a diagnosis of PJI in a single joint.

Methods:
A total of 2,532 septic revision procedures were performed during the study period. In the final analysis, 644 patients (26 with synchronous PJI and 618 with non-synchronous PJI) with 1,508 prosthetic joints were included. The mean age (and standard deviation) was 71 ± 9.6 years. Using bivariate analyses, we calculated the odds of synchronous PJI as a function of various demographic and clinical variables.

Results:
A suspicious clinical presentation of the non-primary joint had the strongest association with synchronous PJI (odds ratio [OR], 58.5 [95% confidence interval (CI), 22.4 to 152.8]). Additional associations with synchronous PJI were detected for a history of neoplasia (OR, 12 [95% CI, 3.9 to 37.2]), the use of immune-modulating therapy (OR, 9.5 [95% CI, 3.4 to 26.2]), the presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome or sepsis (OR, 8.4 [95% CI, 2.8 to 25]), and having ≥3 prosthetic joints (OR, 3.0 [95% CI, 1.37 to 6.64]).

Conclusions:
Synchronous PJI is a rare but very serious complication and every prosthetic joint should be investigated meticulously. Suspicious clinical presentation, a history of neoplasia, sepsis, immune-modulating therapy, and ≥3 prosthetic joints were identified as risk factors and should increase the physician’s vigilance. In the case of PJI, aspiration of each joint that had undergone total joint arthroplasty should be considered.

Published: December 2019

El objetivo de este estudio es comparar in vitro el grado de microfiltración marginal en incrustaciones de cerámica inyectada realizadas con dos cementos resinosos duales autoadhesivos seT PP (SDI) y RelyX U200 (3M ESPE). Se evaluaron 40 premolares superiores e inferiores extraídos por motivos ortodónticos y se dividieron en dos grupos según cemento asignado (n = 20). Luego, se realizó la preparación de cavidades tipo clase II, de aproximadamente 3 mm de ancho en la caja oclusal y proximal; y 2 mm de espesor en el piso gingival y la pared oclusal. Se restauraron de manera indirecta con restauraciones inyectadas de cerámica IPS e.max Press (Ivoclar Vivadent), se cementaron con los cementos estudiados según las especificaciones del fabricante. Los especímenes fueron guardados en un frasco y llevados a termociclado; luego, se realizaron cortes transversales a las coronas y se evaluó el grado de microfiltración por medio de un estereoscopio. Al comparar la microfiltración entre el cemento seT PP y RelyX U200, se concluyó que no existe una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el grado de microfiltración y el tipo de cemento (prueba de Chi-cuadrado de Pearson; p > 0,05) y al observar el grado de microfiltración del seT PP y el RelyX U200 en la cementación de incrustaciones cerámicas inyectadas IPS e.max Press. En conclusión, no se hallaron diferencias significativas entre los dos cementos resinosos autoadhesivos. En ambos prevaleció la no microfiltración; sin embargo, para seT PP, la microfiltración fue del 17,5% en 1/3 de la pared cervical.

Published: December 2019

Abstract

Background: Construction workers are at a high risk of exposure to various types of hazardous substances such as crystalline silica. Though multiple studies indicate the evidence regarding the effectiveness of different silica exposure reduction interventions in the construction sector, the decisions for selecting a specific silica exposure reduction intervention are best informed by an economic evaluation. Economic evaluation of interventions is subjected to uncertainties in practice, mostly due to the lack of precise data on important variables. In this study, we aim to identify the most cost-beneficial silica exposure reduction intervention for the construction sector under uncertain situation. Methods: We apply a probabilistic modeling approach that covers a large number of variables relevant to the cost of lung cancer, as well as the costs of silica exposure reduction interventions. To estimate the societal lifetime cost of lung cancer, we use an incidence cost approach. To estimate the net benefit of each intervention, we compare the expected cost of lung cancer cases averted, with expected cost of implementation of the intervention in one calendar year. Sensitivity analysis is used to quantify how different variables effects interventions net benefit. Results: A positive net benefit is expected for all considered interventions. The highest number of lung cancer cases are averted by combined use of wet method, local exhaust ventilation and personal protective equipment, about 107 cases, with expected net benefit of $45.9 million. Results also suggest that the level of exposure is an important determinant for the selection of the most cost-beneficial intervention. Conclusions: This study provides important insights for decision makers about silica exposure reduction interventions in the construction sector. It also provides an overview of the potential advantages of using probabilistic modeling approach to undertake economic evaluations, particularly when researchers are confronted with a large number of uncertain variables.

Published: December 2019

Abstract

Background: Serum miRNA was once found as potential disease survival index,thus we investigated the role of miRNA in predicting prognosis in loco-regionally advanced NPC patients treated with CCRT. Methods: This study included two phases: (i) We enrolled 3 NPC patients with recurrence or distant metastasis (experimental group, EG) and 3 NPC patients in clinical remission (control group, CG),who were treated with CCRT within 5 years.The paired serum was collected before and after treatment and biomarkers were discovered by LNA-TaqMan Human MicroRNA Arrays. (ii) we used the bioinformatic analysis, marker selection and an independent validation by qRT-PCR to analyse the serums of 29 NPC patients with recurrent disease or distant metastasis and 19 NPC patients in clinical remission treated with CCRT. Using the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test and Cox regression model to estimate the accuracy of the miRNAs to predict PFS and OS, and identified factors significantly associated with prognosis, respectively. Results: Using fold change≥2.0 or ≤0.5 and p≤0.05 as cutoff levels, we identified 1 up-regulated and 6 down-regulated miRNAs, 1 up-regulated and 9 down-regulated miRNAs in EG versus CG before and after CCRT, respectively. After these down-regulated miRNAs were dealed with bioinformatics analysis and normalization, only 5 different miRNAs were significantly reduced, which there were no significant difference in the expression of miRNA-26b, miRNA-29a and miRNA-125b before CCRT, and the expression of miRNA-143 and miRNA-29b after CCRT in the serum samples of 48 NPC patients. Based on this, we calculated a risk score with the expression of miRNA-26b、miRNA-29a、miRNA-125b、miRNA-29b、miRNA-143 and then classified patients as high or low risk group. Cox regression model suggested that combining miRNA-29a and miRNA-125b before CCRT with miRNA-26b after CCRT was independent prognostic factors for PFS (HR=3.149, 95%CI:1.018-9.115, p=0.034), whereas combining the former two is independent for OS (HR=5.146, 95%CI:1.674-15.817, p=0.04). Conclusions : For loco-regionally advanced NPC patients treated with CCRT, especially high-risk patients- serum miRNAs, such as miRNA-29a, miRNA-125b and miRNA-26b etc., play an important role in predicting prognosis factors of PFS and OS, which will contribute to the strategic direction for future research.
