Michel Henry and Metaphysics: An Expressive Ontology
Authors: Sackin-Poll Andrew 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
There is an ambivalence and indecision at the heart of Michel Henry’s phenomenological ontology of life that this article seeks to resolve. Either “Being is a phenomenon only when it is at a distance from itself” or “the immediate is Being itself as originally given to itself in immanence.”1 The decision is, simply put, between distance or immediacy. In order to address this indecision, I put forward an hypothetical expressive interpretation of Henry’s phenomenology of life, drawing upon Gilles Deleuze’s interpretation of post-Cartesian metaphysics. The metaphysical language of expression is used (a) to make clear the internal structure of ‘auto-affection’ — a key concept for Henry’s phenomenology of life — as well as (b) to correct essentialist readings of this put forward by Dominique Janicaud and (c) broadly Hegelian interpretations put forward by François-David Sebbah. This expressive reading clarifies the ontological significance of life and auto-affection, showing more clearly the way the living self relates to Life or God as a dynamic movement and flux, without distance, gap, or transcendence. Through the clarification of Henry’s ontology of life in terms of expression a further ambiguity with regard to the theological significance and status of Life is revealed. The identification of an immanent and auto-affective Life with God in the early works appears closer to a Spinozist God than the later, Christian writings otherwise suggest. It is possible for the immediate, inner experience of auto-affective life to be as much secular as religious. I discuss this in the final part of this article.

BACKGROUND:
Ondansetron is an effective antiemetic employed to prevent vomiting in children with gastroenteritis in high-income countries; data from low- and middle-income countries are sparse.

METHODS:
We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled superiority trial in 2 pediatric emergency departments in Pakistan. Dehydrated children aged 6 to 60 months with ≥1 diarrheal (ie, loose or liquid) stool and ≥1 vomiting episode within the preceding 4 hours were eligible to participate. Participants received a single weight-based dose of oral ondansetron (8–15 kg: 2 mg; &gt;15 kg: 4 mg) or identical placebo. The primary outcome was intravenous administration of ≥20 mL/kg over 4 hours of an isotonic fluid within 72 hours of random assignment.

RESULTS:
All 918 (100%) randomly assigned children completed follow-up. Intravenous rehydration was administered to 14.7% (68 of 462) and 19.5% (89 of 456) of those administered ondansetron and placebo, respectively (difference: −4.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI], −9.7% to 0.0%). In multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for other antiemetic agents, antibiotics, zinc, and the number of vomiting episodes in the preceding 24 hours, children administered ondansetron had lower odds of the primary outcome (odds ratio: 0.70; 95% CI, 0.49 to 1.00). Fewer children in the ondansetron, relative to the placebo group vomited during the observation period (difference: −12.9%; 95% CI, −18.0% to −7.8%). The median number of vomiting episodes (P &lt; .001) was lower in the ondansetron group.

CONCLUSIONS:
Among children with gastroenteritis-associated vomiting and dehydration, oral ondansetron administration reduced vomiting and intravenous rehydration use. Ondansetron use may be considered to promote oral rehydration therapy success among dehydrated children in low- and middle-income countries.

Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND:
Lower weight has historically been equated with more severe illness in anorexia nervosa (AN). Reliance on admission weight to guide clinical concern is challenged by the rise in patients with atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) requiring hospitalization at normal weight.

METHODS:
We examined weight history and illness severity in 12- to 24-year-olds with AN (n = 66) and AAN (n = 50) in a randomized clinical trial, the Study of Refeeding to Optimize Inpatient Gains (www.clinicaltrials.gov; NCT02488109). Amount of weight loss was the difference between the highest historical percentage median BMI and admission; rate was the amount divided by duration (months). Unpaired t tests compared AAN and AN; multiple variable regressions examined associations between weight history variables and markers of illness severity at admission. Stepwise regression examined the explanatory value of weight and menstrual history on selected markers.

RESULTS:
Participants were 16.5 ± 2.6 years old, and 91% were of female sex. Groups did not differ by weight history or admission heart rate (HR). Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire global scores were higher in AAN (mean 3.80 [SD 1.66] vs mean 3.00 [SD 1.66]; P = .02). Independent of admission weight, lower HR (β = −0.492 [confidence interval (CI) −0.883 to −0.100]; P = .01) was associated with faster loss; lower serum phosphorus was associated with a greater amount (β = −0.005 [CI −0.010 to 0.000]; P = .04) and longer duration (β = −0.011 [CI −0.017 to 0.005]; P = .001). Weight and menstrual history explained 28% of the variance in HR and 36% of the variance in serum phosphorus.

CONCLUSIONS:
Weight history was independently associated with markers of malnutrition in inpatients with restrictive eating disorders across a range of body weights and should be considered when assessing illness severity on hospital admission.

Abstract

Background
Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) are the mainstay of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) treatment. Biliary stone disease is reported as a common side effect of SSAs, with a frequency ranging from 10% to 63%. Studies on SSA-treated patients for acromegaly report an increased incidence of biliary stone disease compared with the general population, whereas data on patients with NETs are few. Guidelines are based on weak evidence, thus resulting in conflicting recommendations. The aim of the study is to evaluate biliary stone disease incidence, complications, and risk factors in a large population of SSA-treated patients with NETs.

Materials and Methods
A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database was performed. Patients with a diagnosis of NET in seven dedicated centers from 1995 to 2017 were included at the time of SSA start.

Results
A total of 754 SSA-treated patients were evaluated. Patients with history of cholecystectomy or with known biliary stone disease were excluded; 478 patients were included. Among them, 118 patients (24.7%) received prophylactic ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). During the study period, 129 patients (27.0%) developed biliary stone disease; of them, 36 (27.9%) developed biliary complications. On multivariate analysis, primary gastrointestinal (GI)-NET (hazard ratio [HR] 1.76) and related surgery (HR 1.58) were independent risk factors for biliary stone disease.

Conclusion
We report a high incidence of biliary stone disease particularly in GI-NET or GI surgery. UDCA prophylaxis does not seem to have a protective role. Our data suggest that all patients with primary GI-NET or undergoing abdominal surgery should be considered for prophylactic cholecystectomy; no conclusion could be drawn on the indication of prophylactic cholecystectomy in patients with primary pancreatic or thoracic NET for whom abdominal surgery is not planned.

ResumenSintetizamos hallazgos de una investigación de contraste realizada en Colombia y Argentina. El método empleado fue de intervención clínica aplicada a la investigación utilizando espacios de habla, entrevistas de orientación clínica, diarios de bordo y clínico con los cuales conseguimos obtener discursos singulares de adolescentes y extrajimos salidas de constitución subjetiva. También usamos técnicas más convencionales con las que accedimos a discursos particulares que se tienen sobre adolescentes. Así conseguimos identificar, en adolescentes, raperos y grafiteros, que sus salidas a la encrucijada de la adolescencia, relacionadas con las agrupaciones, se dan con la sustitución de sus nombres. Presentamos dos casos de raperos que con sus seudónimos buscan el fortalecimiento del lazo filial –social, en especial con las madres –.Palabras clave: nominación, identificación, nombre propio, sustitución, par-cero. AbstractWe summarize the findings of a contrast research carried out in Colombia and Argentina. The method used was the clinic intervention applied to research by using talking spaces, interviews of clinic orientation, logbooks, and the clinic with which we could obtain both singular discourses of the adolescents and solutions of subjective constitution. We also used some more conventional techniques with which we had access to existing particular discourses on adolescents. Therefore, we could identify that, among adolescents, rappers, and graffiti artists, their solutions –related to groups– to the adolescence crossroads happen by substituting their names. We present the cases of two rappers who seek, through their pseudonym, the strengthening of the filial-social bond, especially with their mothers.Keywords: naming, identification, proper name, substitution, par-cero [buddy/pair-zero].

Beyond Correlation: A Path‐Invariant Measure for Seismogram Similarity
Authors: Dickey Joshua , Borghetti Brett , Junek William , Martin Richard 
Published: November 2019

AbstractSimilarity search is a popular technique for seismic signal processing, with template matching, matched filters, and subspace detectors being utilized for a wide variety of tasks, including both signal detection and source discrimination. Traditionally, these techniques rely on the cross‐correlation function as the basis for measuring similarity. Unfortunately, seismogram correlation is dominated by path effects, essentially requiring a distinct waveform template along each path of interest. To address this limitation, we propose a novel measure of seismogram similarity that is explicitly invariant to path. Using Earthscope’s USArray experiment, a path‐rich dataset of 207,291 regional seismograms across 8452 unique events is constructed, and then employed via the batch‐hard triplet loss function, to train a deep convolutional neural network that maps raw seismograms to a low‐dimensional embedding space, where nearness on the space corresponds to nearness of source function, regardless of path or recording instrumentation. This path‐agnostic embedding space forms a new representation for seismograms, characterized by robust, source‐specific features, which we show to be useful for performing both pairwise event association as well as template‐based source discrimination with a single template.
A New Catalog of Explosion Source Parameters in the Utah Region with Application to ML–MC‐Based Depth Discrimination at Local Distances

Published: November 2019

AbstractA catalog of explosion source parameters is valuable for testing methods of source classification in seismically active regions. We develop a manually reviewed catalog of explosions in the Utah region for 1 October 2012 to 30 June 2018 and use it to assess a newly proposed, magnitude‐based depth discriminant. Within the Utah region we define 26 event clusters that are primarily associated with mine blasts but also include explosions from weapons testing and disposal. The catalog refinement process consists of confirming the explosion source labels, revising the local (ML) and coda duration (MC) magnitudes, and relocating the hypocenters. The primary features used to determine source labels are waveform characteristics such as frequency content, the proximity of the preliminary epicenter to a permitted blast region, the time of day, and prior notification from mine operators. We reviewed 2199 seismic events of which 1545 are explosions, 459 are local earthquakes, and 195 are other event types. Of the reviewed events, 127 (5.8%) were reclassified with new labels. Over 74% of the reviewed explosions have both ML and MC, a sizable improvement over the unreviewed catalog (65%). The mean ML–MC value for the new explosion catalog is −0.196±0.017 (95% confidence interval) compared with a previously determined value of 0.048±0.008 for naturally occurring earthquakes in the Utah region. The shallow depths of the explosions lead to enhanced coda production, which in turn leads to anomalously large MC values. This finding confirms that ML–MC is a useful metric for discriminating explosions from deeper tectonic earthquakes in Utah. However, there is significant variation in ML–MC among the 26 explosion source regions, suggesting that ML–MC observations should be combined with other classification metrics to achieve the best performance in distinguishing explosions from earthquakes.
Aftershock Analysis of the 2018 Mw 7.1 Anchorage, Alaska, Earthquake: Relocations and Regional Moment Tensors
Authors: Ruppert Natalia A. , Nayak Avinash , Thurber Clifford , Richards Cole 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThe 30 November 2018 magnitude 7.1 Anchorage earthquake occurred as a result of normal faulting within the lithosphere of subducted Yakutat slab. It was followed by a vigorous aftershock sequence with over 10,000 aftershocks reported through the end of July 2019. The Alaska Earthquake Center produced a reviewed aftershock catalog with a magnitude of completeness of 1.3. This well‐recorded dataset provides a rare opportunity to study the relationship between the aftershocks and fault rupture of a major intraslab event. We use tomoDD algorithm to relocate 2038 M≥2 aftershocks with a regional 3D velocity model. The relocated aftershocks extend over a 20 km long zone between 47 and 57 km depth and are primarily confined to a high VP/VS region. Aftershocks form two clusters, a diffuse southern cluster and a steeply west‐dipping northern cluster with a gap in between where maximum slip has been inferred. We compute moment tensors for the Mw&gt;4 aftershocks using a cut‐and‐paste method and careful selection of regional broadband stations. The moment tensor solutions do not exhibit significant variability or systematic differences between the northern and southern clusters and, on average, agree well with the mainshock fault‐plane parameters. We propose that the mainshock rupture initiated in the Yakutat lower crust or uppermost mantle and propagated both upward into the crust to near its top and downward into the mantle. The majority of the aftershocks are confined to the seismically active Yakutat crust and located both on and in the hanging wall of the mainshock fault rupture.

In the majority of cases, mediastinitis is a potential complication in any cardiac surgical procedure. The objective of this case report is to accurately describe how the combination of microsurgery and soft tissue flaps can be an effective therapeutic alternative in the treatment of mediastinitis as a complication of cardiac valve replacement. Female 63-year-old patient with a background of obesity, hypertension and extense cardiac interventions, she was programmed for necrosectomy with left pectoralis flap technique. Mediastinitis, although a rare complication of the sternotomy performed in cardiac surgery, occurring in 1-2%, carries a high mortality rate. Early diagnosis of mediastinitis after cardiac surgery requires high clinical suspicion, initially making the diagnosis may be difficult, risk factors should be considered. An early surgical approach can reduce the morbidity and mortality of this condition. The pectoralis flap should be considered as a safe therapeutic option.

Zarys prawa Qing
Artykuł jest próbą zarysu prawa chińskiego za czasów Qing, ostatniej dynastii rządzącej Chinami. Przedstawia on moralne i filozoficzne podstawy, na których został zbudowany tradycyjny chiński system prawny długo przed dojściem do władzy cesarzy Machu. Autor artykułu stwierdza również, że to kultura, a nie natura określa prawo i moralność, a idea etyki uniwersalnej jest utopią. Istnieją pewne różnice między prawem zachodnim a jego chińskim odpowiednikiem. Niektóre przepisy Kodeksu Qing mogą być dla nas dzisiaj zaskakujące, chociaż łatwo je zrozumieć, jeśli bliżej im się przyjrzeć. Z chińskiego punktu widzenia prawo zachodnioeuropejskie można nazwać „nowoczesnym”, bo zostało przyjęte we współczesnych Chinach od początku XX wieku. W artykule pada propozycja odpowiedzi na pytanie, dlaczego Chiny zostały zmuszone do porzucenia swojej tradycji prawnej i przyjęcia w jego miejsce zachodniego prawa kontynentalnego.
A cidade, o progresso e o espelho quebrado de Narciso
Authors: Costa Ricardo Felipe Santos da 
Published: November 2019

Com o advento da República e o desenvolvimento da economia ligada ao café, verificam-se nas sessões da Câmara Municipal de São Paulo, de forma quase regular, referências orgulhosas ao progresso da cidade. Inspirando-se no método do historiador Michel de Certeau, porém, este artigo busca os desvios das falas, entre a cidade que se pretende, normatizada, e a cidade que se vive. A miséria que desfila nas ruas entre novos viadutos, praças arborizadas e o Theatro, não espelhava os ideais civilizatórios acalentados em uníssono pelos legisladores. Relativizando o bom ou mau gosto, frente às contradições de uma cidade narcisista, este estudo pretende colocar os seus esforços em analisar uma realidade urbana complexa, com os seus conflitos e representações. Para tal, propõe-se trabalhar com a série documental constituída pelas Actas e Annaes da Câmara Municipal de São Paulo, além de jornais da época. O período cronológico contempla dois marcos legais: o Código Penal (1890) e o Código de Menores (1927). Assim, entre a compaixão e o amor de si próprio, com relação ao escândalo da miséria e a agonia dos que a vivem nas ruas, por fim, este artigo investiga o tratamento dado pela municipalidade à filantropia, bem como as suas intenções.

Published: November 2019

Este artigo apresenta análises de um conjunto de fotografias pertencentes à obra de Cássio Vasconcellos. O estudo foi desenvolvido através da abordagem fenomenológica e análise documental, além de entrevistas realizadas com o artista. Este artista brasileiro, nascido em São Paulo e reconhecido a nível nacional e internacional realiza em seu trabalho interfaces com propriedades das Artes Visuais que vão além da linguagem inicialmente escolhida por ele. São possibilidades perceptivas e processuais que adentram o campo pictórico e escultórico. Assim, através das aparições das obras verifica-se a confluência de linguagens atuantes de experiências estendidas. O estudo também se volta ao contexto contemporâneo dos procedimentos técnicos e expressivos do fazer artístico valendo-se da pesquisa que desvela manipulações artesanais e tecnológicas capazes de reunir: teoria, domínio técnico e sensibilidade estética.

Neste sentido, a autora nos conduz por um caminho reflexivo que nos faz ver nestes documentos de época, não um substituto da performance, mas uma outra instância legítima de experiência. Para este dossiê, Delpeux acrescentou algumas linhas iniciais para nos dar conta do estado atual de sua pesquisa.
Links of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program With Food Insecurity, Poverty, and Health: Evidence and Potential
Authors: Keith-Jennings Brynne , Llobrera Joseph , Dean Stacy 
Published: November 2019

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a highly effective program, vital to our nation’s health and well-being. SNAP’s entitlement funding structure allows it to provide benefits to anyone who meets the program’s eligibility requirements, and this structure also enables SNAP to respond quickly when need increases. Research shows that SNAP reduces poverty for millions, improves food security, and is linked with improved health. Despite SNAP’s successes, there is room to build on its considerable accomplishments. Evidence suggests that current benefit levels are not adequate for many households. Some vulnerable groups have limited SNAP eligibility, and some eligible individuals face barriers to SNAP participation. Policymakers should address these shortcomings by increasing SNAP benefits and expanding SNAP eligibility to underserved groups. The federal government and states should also continue improving policies and procedures to improve access for eligible individuals.
