Traduction et acceptabilité sociale : Cossery en version anglaise
Authors: Miquet Françoise 
Published: March 2020

Le regard cru, intemporel et dénué d’orientalisme que porte sur la société cairote l’écrivain égyptien d’expression française Albert Cossery, unique dans la littérature arabe, lui a valu une appréciation unanime en France. Or, la réception d’oeuvres de Cossery récemment publiées aux États-Unis révèle un écart culturel de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique, à l’égard de la critique comme de l’analyse littéraire : du côté anglo-saxon, on tend à envisager l’oeuvre sous une perspective postcoloniale et politiquement actuelle, alors que du côté français prévaut une approche davantage individuelle et historicisée, comme en témoigne l’intérêt que suscite en France la génétique littéraire. La traduction des passages susceptibles de heurter dans l’oeuvre cossérienne pose ainsi le problème de la fidélité à la voix de l’auteur, laquelle, décontextualisée et mise à distance de l’histoire personnelle de l’écrivain, résonne différemment. Les traductrices américaines, qui se sont dites sensibles à sa vision et touchées par ses personnages, ont néanmoins effectué dans ces passages problématiques des lissages à portée morale pour tenter de résoudre la tension entre adéquation au texte original et acceptabilité sociale de la traduction, telle qu’elle est définie par Gideon Toury (1995/2004).
Colección Panamericana, traducción peninsular: los polos de la representación y de la inteligibilidad en un proyecto editorial
Authors: Foz Clara , Atala Lili 
Published: March 2020

La guerra civil española y los conflictos en Europa entre las décadas de 1930 y 1940 resultaron en un traslado de las actividades editoriales del mundo hispánico desde España hacia América. En este contexto, la producción escrita de América se volvió central en los proyectos editoriales; la proliferación de colecciones cuyo fin era reunir los clásicos americanos es muestra de ello. Mediante el estudio de la Colección Panamericana de W. M. Jackson (1945) este artículo argumenta que, si bien esta colección promueve explícitamente un discurso identitario panamericano, en lo que toca a la traducción, es un producto enraizado en un panhispanismo que proscribe el uso de las variedades del español de las Américas. El artículo explora las características particulares de la casa Jackson: su carácter de empresa trasnacional, su lejanía de la intelectualidad hispanoamericana al ser una editorial estadounidense y su exclusiva publicación de colecciones con el fin de garantizar ventas por volumen. Asimismo, analiza los tomos de la Colección Panamericana, en particular los que se ofrecen en traducción, a la luz de los lineamientos expuestos por la editorial en un manual de estilo destinado a sus editores y traductores, en donde se insiste en la importancia de ofrecer un material lingüísticamente accesible a todos los hispanohablantes. Por último, mediante algunos ejemplos, muestra la contradicción entre la representación de la realidad americana presente en los textos traducidos y su exposición en una voz supuestamente neutra.
Hispanoamérica desde fuera: la investigación en traducción de tema hispanoamericano publicada en revistas no hispanoamericanas
Authors: Vargas Gómez Francisco Javier 
Published: March 2020

Se realizó un estudio bibliométrico a partir de la información pertinente disponible en BITRA (base de datos multilingüe de acceso libre con más de 70 000 referencias bibliográficas en el campo) para delimitar la evolución y el estado de la cuestión de la investigación en traducción sobre Hispanoamérica publicada en revistas no hispanoamericanas. Se aplican técnicas de conteo de publicaciones (Grbić y Pöllabauer 2008c; Li 2015; Martínez-Gómez 2015) a un corpus de 611 artículos publicados en 193 revistas y se examinan diferentes indicadores de productividad. Los resultados revelan un aumento del interés por la región hispanoamericana, de la productividad y de la coautoría principćalmente a partir de los años noventa. También se observa el predominio de los temas literarios, estudios de caso y asuntos históricos, la preferencia por el inglés, el español y las revistas especializadas, y el posicionamiento de los Estados Unidos y España como principales centros de publicación.

Published: March 2020

Background
Lauric acid (LA), a common constituent of coconut oil, is used as food additives and supplements in various formulations. Despite various potential pharmacological properties, no scientific evidence on its dose-related toxicity and safety is available till date.

Objective
The current study was conducted to evaluate acute oral toxicity of LA on normal rats.

Methods
The study was conducted in accordance with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development guidelines (OECD 423) with slight modifications. LA was administered orally to female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (n = 6/group) at a single dose of 300 and 2,000 mg/kg body weight, respectively, while normal control received vehicle only. Animals from all the three groups were monitored for any behavioural and toxicological changes and mortality for two weeks. Food and fluid consumption, body weight was monitored on daily basis. At the end (on day 15th) of the experimental period, blood was collected for haematological and biochemical analysis. Further, all the animals were euthanized, and internal organs were harvested for histopathological investigation using four different stainings; haematoxylin and eosin, Masson trichrome, Periodic Acid Schiff and Picro Sirius Red for gross pathology through microscopical observation.

Results
The study results showed no LA treatment-related mortality and morbidity at two different dosages. Daily food and water consumption, body weight, relative organ weight, haematological, and biochemical analysis were observed to be normal with no severe alterations to the internal tissues.

Conclusion
The current finding suggests that single oral administration of LA, even up to 2,000 mg/kg body weight, did not exhibit any signs of toxicity in SD rats; thus, it was safe to be used on disease models in animals.

The objective was to evaluate the extract stability of hibiscus in different conditions and the food application. Anthocyanins (TA), phenolic compounds (TP) and color, at: 4 and 25 °C, presence or absence of light, pH stability and FTIR were evaluated. Gelatin developed with hibiscus extract was submitted to sensory analysis. Light and temperature factors affected the stability of TP and TA throughout the storage. Higher stability was observed at 4 ºC and absence of light (in relation to TA and TP respectively, 3% and 26% losses were observed in this condition against 43% and 39% at 25 °C with light). Regarding pH, it was observed that pH change affected the absorbance and color in the hibiscus extract. Finally, the hibiscus extract, when added at the highest concentration into gelatin, was the most accepted by tastes, and scored 7 (like moderately) for color and global acceptance.

AbstractAimTo investigate the influence of visceral fat area on postoperative C‐reactive protein levels and whether it affects its ability to diagnose infectious complications after laparoscopy‐assisted gastrectomy.MethodsA total of 435 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopy‐assisted resection for gastric cancer from 2008 to 2017 were reviewed and divided into four groups according to visceral fat area quartiles. We evaluated the relationship between C‐reactive protein and visceral fat area and whether visceral fat area affects the sensitivity and specificity of C‐reactive protein in diagnosing postoperative infectious complications.ResultsPostoperative C‐reactive protein levels increased with increasing visceral fat areas at every postoperative assessment. Multiple linear regression revealed that levels on postoperative day 3 significantly positively correlated with visceral fat area. Postoperative day 3 levels also showed moderate accuracy for diagnosing infectious complications (area under the curve, 0.78; sensitivity, 0.86; specificity, 0.65), with an optimal cut‐off of 11.8 mg/dL. The sensitivity for predicting infectious complications was low in the 1st visceral fat area quartile group but high in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th groups (0.43 vs 1.0 vs 1.0 vs 0.94, respectively). By contrast, the specificity was high in the 1st and 2nd group but low in the 3rd and 4th (0.84 vs 0.70 vs 0.54 vs 0.48, respectively).ConclusionVisceral fat area positively correlated with postoperative C‐reactive protein levels and this affected its accuracy in diagnosing infectious complications. A uniform C‐reactive protein cut‐off may not provide accurate predictions in patients with more extreme visceral fat areas.

AbstractBackgroundThe development of lung cancer is a multifactorial process that involves the environmental and genetic factors. The mortality rate of this cancer is higher than breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers. In this study, we try to analyze the proteome of patients with Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and compare it with the healthy samples.MethodsThis study has compared 30 lung tissue samples from patients with NSCLC and 30 healthy samples using proteomics and RT‐PCR. Hence, tissue samples were obtained from the surgical ward in sterile conditions, and then, protein extraction applied to them. At the next stage, two‐dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry LCMS/MS were performed for protein isolation and sequencing, respectively.ResultsThe proteome analysis identified more than 40 differences in proteomic pattern of normal lung tissues compared to lung tissues with NSCLC. Peroxiredoxin, Haptoglobin, and Alpha‐1 antitrypsin proteins were identified. Molecularly, it has also been shown that the two main proteins of Peroxiredoxin‐2 and Alpha‐1 antitrypsin were upregulated, and the expression of Haptoglobin protein was downregulated in cancer tissue.ConclusionThe results of this study showed that there are some differences in term of protein content between the normal and cancerous lung tissues. Further studies are needed to evaluate these proteins that investigate whether these proteins can candidate as biomarkers to use in the early diagnosis of patients with NSCLC.

AbstractPostoperative vaso‐occlusive disease may be a life‐threatening condition in patients affected by sickle cell disease, necessitating sometimes liver transplantation. After laparoscopic cholecystectomy, liver necrosis is usually secondary to intraoperative vascular injury. In this patient, the vaso‐occlusive crisis mimicked a vascular injury with segmental postoperative necrosis.
Color vision defectives' experience: When white is green
Authors: Almustanyir Ali , Hovis Jeffery K. 
Published: March 2020

AbstractDespite having difficulties in discriminating colors, individuals with a congenital color vision defect (CVD) sometimes identify colors correctly. One explanation for their correct use of the color name could be the context in which the color is used. In North America, how context influences the use of color names can be illustrated using the pedestrian signal light, where the color of the light indicating that it is safe to cross is white. Sixty color vision normals (CVNs) and 68 CVD subjects were asked to identify the color of the man figure icon from memory. All of the CVNs identified the figure correctly as white, whereas 56% of the CVDs identified the color of the man‐figure incorrectly, with 92% of the errors identifying the color as green and the remaining 8% as yellow. No one identified the figure as red. The data show one example of how context plays a role in how CVDs identify colors.
Fine mapping of qBlsr3d, a quantitative trait locus conferring resistance to bacterial leaf streak in rice

Published: March 2020

AbstractBacterial leaf streak (BLS) is a destructive bacterial disease in rice (Oryza sativa L.). To date, at least 13 quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring resistance to BLS have been identified in rice, while only one QTL, qBlsr5a, has been fine mapped and cloned. The present study focuses on fine mapping of qBlsr3d, a minor QTL conferring resistance to BLS. To fine map this QTL, 24 overlapping chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) were developed from the F2 population derived from H359 × H359‐BLSR3D. Combining genotyping of molecular markers with resistant performance, qBlsr3d was delimited to an 81‐kb interval on chromosome 3, which included 12 annotated genes. Sequence alignment indicated that one of the candidate genes, LOC_Os03g03570, has three nucleotide substitutions in the CDS region between H359 and H359‐BLSR3D. In particular, LOC_Os03g03570 encodes a leucine‐rich repeat transmembrane protein, which has been reported to be associated with disease resistance, suggesting that LOC_Os03g03570 may be the target gene. Our research also suggests that CSSLs are suitable for mapping of minor QTL confering disease resistance. Furthermore, our finding has potential value in breeding rice varieties with resistance to BLS in rice.
Competition with insectivorous ants as a contributor to low songbird diversity at low elevations in the eastern Himalaya
Authors: Supriya K. , Price Trevor D. , Moreau Corrie S. 
Published: March 2020

AbstractCompetitive interactions between distantly related clades could cause complementary diversity patterns of these clades over large spatial scales. One such example might be ants and birds in the eastern Himalaya; ants are very common at low elevations but almost absent at mid‐elevations where the abundance of other arthropods and insectivorous bird diversity peaks. Here, we ask if ants at low elevations could compete with birds for arthropod prey. Specifically, we studied the impact of the Asian weaver ant (Oecophylla smaragdina), a common aggressive ant at low elevations. Diet analysis using molecular methods demonstrate extensive diet overlap between weaver ants and songbirds at both low and mid‐elevations. Trees without weaver ants have greater non‐ant arthropod abundance and leaf damage. Experimental removal of weaver ants results in an increase in the abundance of non‐ant arthropods. Notably, numbers of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera were most affected by removal experiments and were prominent components of both bird and weaver ant diets. Our results suggest that songbirds and weaver ants might potentially compete with each other for arthropod prey at low elevations, thereby contributing to lower insectivorous bird diversity at low elevations in eastern Himalaya. Competition with ants may shape vertebrate diversity patterns across broad biodiversity gradients.

AbstractAimsThe angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril/valsartan reduces mortality and hospitalizations in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Favourable effects on haemodynamic and functional parameters have been observed in patients with HFrEF undergoing ARNI therapy, using standard transthoracic echocardiography. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) assessment uses a semi‐automatic procedure to provide a reliable and repeatable method that improves the detection of early changes of contractile function. We aimed to assess the effects of ARNI on GLS and myocardial mechanics in patients with HFrEF.Methods and resultsThirty patients with New York Heart Association class II–III HFrEF were treated with ARNI and monitored using standard echocardiographic examination and GLS measurements at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. ARNI therapy resulted in a significant reduction of ventricular volumes and a significant increase in left ventricular ejection fraction at 6 months but not 3 months by standard transthoracic echocardiography (left ventricular ejection fraction from 28 ± 8% at baseline to 34 ± 12% at 6 months, P < 0.001). Non‐significant differences in the size of the left atrium, right ventricular function, and pulmonary pressures were found at 6 months. By using GLS, there was a progressive improvement of all strain parameters by 3 months. The improvement showed a progressive trend over time and maintained significance at 6 months: GLS 4ch −7.2 ± 4.8% at baseline vs. −7.5 ± 3.9% at 3 months (P = 0.025) and − 9.2 ± 5.2% at 6 months (P = 0.0001); AVG GLS −6.9 ± 4.3 at baseline vs. −7.9 ± 4.2 at 3 months (P = 0.04) and − 8.8 ± 4.4 at 6 months (P = 0.035); GLS endo 8.2 ± 4.8 at baseline vs. −9.0 ± 4.8 at 3 months (P = 0.05) and − 10.1 ± 5.1 at 6 months (P = 0.001).ConclusionsSacubitril/valsartan induces an early benefit on left ventricular remodelling, which is captured by myocardial strain and not by standard echocardiography. Strain method represents a practical tool to assess early and minimal variations of left ventricular systolic function.

AbstractThe relevance of the subject matter derives from the need to select the most effective technical solution at the stages of pre‐design studies and design of irrigation systems when performing innovative projects. The purpose of this study is to develop a decision support system (DSS) that would serve as an analytical and advisory tool for conducting complex research at the stages of pre‐project preparation and design of irrigation systems. The leading approach underlying the solution of the subject matter is the functional modelling methodology integration definition for function modelling (IDEFo). This article presents the architecture of the software product, which shows the main subsystems of the DSS and reflects their interrelations. The implementation of the DSS in the form of a software product based on the provisions of the recommendations will automate the process of selecting alternatives (analogues) for elements of irrigation systems in specific conditions and provide information support for decision‐making at the stages of pre‐design studies and design, and also increase quality control and improve efficiency of managerial decision‐making by 10–15% and reduce the total cost of organizing pre‐design studies and designing irrigation systems by 3–5%. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Re‐examining strategic and developmental implications of e‐Choupal, India
Authors: Mukerji Maitrayee 
Published: March 2020

Abstracte‐Choupal is an ICT‐enabled intervention in rural India, providing agriculture‐related information and services to farmers. Widely acclaimed as a Bottom‐of‐Pyramid (BoP)intervention, e‐Choupal is known for successfully demonstrating sustainable deployment of ICTs for strengthening agricultural market linkages. Much of the popular understanding about e‐Choupal is based on case studies documenting use of Internet in rural India, developing markets for BoP, rural entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility. However, recent empirical research put forth interesting insights on intermediating role of ICTs and impact of e‐Choupal. This paper integrates these two sets of literature using a strategic information systems perspective to draw insights for policy makers and practitioners. The dominant narrative projects e‐Choupal as almost altruistic endeavor to empower farmers to overcome contextual constraints such as fragmented farms, exploitative middlemen, poor productivity and limited market linkages. It underplays the strong business imperative for the agri‐business firm to invest in e‐Choupal to address distortions and uncertainty in price and quality during procurement of agricultural commodities. Strategically, the company gained much from integrated supply chain, lower transaction costs, increased sourcing efficiency and product differentiation. But, development outcomes in terms of farmers' empowerment and increasing the overall competitiveness of Indian agriculture have been limited.
