Seasonal clustering in epilepsy
Authors: Ünsal Mirac Aysen , Atmaca Murat Mert , Özbey Yeter 
Published: March 2020

Objective: There are few studies in the literature suggesting that epileptic attacks can cluster especially in winter. We aimed to confirm the most frequent month and season in which our patients with epilepsy visited the emergency room because we had similar observations in our clinical experience.
Material and Methods: Patients admitted to the emergency room due to convulsive epileptic seizures between January 2017 and December 2019 were included in the study. The month of seizures was recorded.
Results: In our study, epileptic seizures clustered significantly in winter.
Conclusion: Although more detailed data should be collected on this subject, we think this is an indirect result of the change in vitamin D metabolism, as suggested in other studies.
Diagnosis of cholesteatoma by the b1000 value DWI MRI according to the signal intensity
Authors: Cuce Ferhat , Genc Hakan , Sarı Oktay , Satar Bulent 
Published: March 2020

Objective: The cholesteatoma (CL) can be evaluated visually or numerically on an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map, which obtained from at least two different b-valued diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the signal intensity (SI) of the lesion both visually and numerically only on the DWI image without ADC. In case of positive results a second ‘b’ value is not required, so this method could be shorten the duration of the MRI examination.
Material and Methods: Between January 2017 and May 2018, we included patients with chronic otitis media (COM) with a clinical suspicion of primary CL who underwent DWI. Two radiologists and one ear, nose, throat specialist evaluated the radiological images and the pathology results.
Results: The mean SI measurement was significantly higher in the CL group by both observers (observer LR; CL: 107.94 ± 53.36, COM: 37.34 ± 14.70, observer FC; CL: 108.56 ± 50.00, COM: 37.06 ± 15.44; p<0001). ROC analysis showed that a mean SI value of 48.6 was the cut-off value in predicting the diagnosis of CL. The mean SI was significantly higher in the CL group (p<0.001).
Conclusion: We demonstrated a significant difference between CL and COM concerning the diagnosis by visual and numerical signal evaluation only via b1000 valuable images. In false-positive cases, ADC is still confirmatory for high diagnostic accuracy.

Constituída por 93 livros publicados em menos de seis meses, a produção artística de Aurélio Pinotti tem mobilizado alguns textos críticos desde o seu recente aparecimento. Sua interpretação como obra literária, contudo, desconsidera certos elementos fundamentais de seu efeito performativo, que este artigo pretende resgatar por meio da metáfora do eclipse.
Reading Ecophobia: a Manifesto
Authors: Estok Simon C. 
Published: March 2020

Key words: ecophobia, speciesism, ecocritical theory, ecocritical ethics, Andrew Battista, Lawrence Buell To a large extent, ecocriticism has not developed its own body of critical theory, largely so because many prominent ecocritics deliberately shy away from theoretical entanglements. Reading ecophobia is an attempt to theorize ecocriticism and reach a kind of methodological and structural definition of the field. Reading ecophobia consists of uncovering and seeing unassumed connections in our thinking and in our conceptual links that would recognize the interweaving of racism, misogyny, homophobia, speciesism and ecophobia. It would imply acknowledging biases in our analyses of cultural products and their representations of nature. Thus, it becomes a necessary step for the discipline. Palabras clave: ecofobia, especiesismo, teoría ecocrítica, ética ecocrítica, Andrew Battista, Lawrence Buell En gran medida la ecocrítica no ha desarrollado su propio cuerpo de teoría crítica, en parte debido a que muchos ecocríticos destacados rehúyen deliberadamente los enredos teóricos. Una lectura de la ecofobia constituye un intento de teorizar la ecocrítica y alcanzar una especie de definición metodológica y estructural del campo. Esta lectura consiste en revelar y ver conexiones no aparentes en nuestro pensamiento y en nuestros vínculos conceptuales, lo que reconocería la unión inextricable entre racismo, misoginia, homofobia, especiesismo y ecofobia. Esto implicaría reconocer los prejuicios en nuestros análisis de productos culturales y sus representaciones de la naturaleza. Por lo tanto, se convierte en un paso necesario para la disciplina.
Sexual/Environmental Justice and Ecocriticism of the New Century
Authors: Stein Rachel 
Published: March 2020

Key words: environmental justice, sexuality, reproductivity, food industry, queer ecology Environmental justice in the 21st century should advance in the exploration, both theoretical and practical, of aspects of identity such as sexuality and reproductivity, which up to the present have been less analyzed than aspects of race, class and gender. The novels of Ruth Ozeki illustrate brilliantly the intersection between justice related to the food industry and sexual justice. Moreover, queer environmental justice has largely benefited from the theoretical framework established by Cate Sandilands for queer ecology. Palabras clave: justicia medioambiental, sexualidad, reproducción, industria alimentaria, ecología queer La justicia medioambiental del siglo XXI debe avanzar hacia la exploración, tanto teórica como práctica, de aspectos de la identidad del individuo tales como la sexualidad y la reproductividad, menos analizadas hasta la fecha desde este punto de vista, que las variables de raza, clase o género. Las novelas de Ruth Ozeki ilustran de manera excelente la intersección entre la justicia relacionada con la industria alimentaria y la justicia sexual. Al mismo tiempo, la justicia medioambiental de carácter queer se ha beneficiado en gran medida de los marcos teóricos establecidos por Cate Sandilands para atender cuestiones de ecología queer.

(Forced) Walks on the Wild Side: Precarious Borders in American Captivity Narratives
Authors: Starre Alexander 
Published: March 2020

Most readings of American captivity narratives have so far investigated their intercultural, psychological, and theological significances, while disregarding their ecological aspects. Despite its appropriation into US-American national literature, the captivity genre contains at its root a transcultural plot of an individual's confrontation with the environment and the unsettling forces of wilderness and animality. These personal memoirs indeed hold global value by pointing to our collective embeddedness and embodiedness.This essay surveys two early captivity narratives - the classical one by Mary Rowlandson (1682) and a lesser known text by John Gyles (1736) - alongside contemporary examples of the genre that relate the stories of American captives in Iraq and Colombia.Resumen Muchas lecturas de los relatos de cautiverio americanos hasta ahora han investigado los significados interculturales, psicológicos y teológicos sin prestar mucha atención a sus aspectos ecológicos. A pesar de su inclusión en la literatura nacional estadounidense, es esencial al género del relato de cautiverio una trama transnacional de confrontación entre el individuo y el medio ambiente rodeado de fuerzas inquietantes, de una flora desolada y una fauna feroz. Estas memorias personales tienen, efectivamente, un valor global porque indican nuestra incorporación y encarnación collectivas.Este ensayo explora dos relatos de cautiverio -el clásico de Mary Rowlandson (1682) y un texto menos conocido de John Gyles (1736)- al lado de dos ejemplos contemporáneos del género que cuentan las historias de cautivos estadounidenses en Irak y Colombia.

El discurso ambiental en Osamu Tezuka
Authors: Martí Escayol Maria Antonia 
Published: March 2020

Frecuentemente se destaca el compromiso hacia la naturaleza presente en las obras del mangaka Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989), sin embargo no existe todavía un estudio exhaustivo del concepto de naturaleza en su obra. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el contenido ambiental en sus cómics y en sus guiones. Nos centramos en el contenido basado en la realidad coetánea del autor y, en concreto, se analiza el discurso tóxico en la ficción realista y en la ciencia ficción, y el cambio de actitud hacia la guerra y la protección medioambiental. Ecological awareness and environmental themes are often noted in writing on the mangaka Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989), but there is still no comprehensive study of the concept of nature in his work. This paper explores environmental content in Tezuka’s work, focusing on his treatment of contemporary reality, and assessing his contribution to toxic discourse in realist fiction and science fiction, and to changing attitudes towards war and environmental protection

Botany as the Path to Awareness, or the Flower as a Grail In Thomas Wharton's Icefields
Authors: Besson Françoise 
Published: March 2020

In the novel Icefields by Canadian novelist Thomas Wharton, plants are more than incidental elements. Vegetation appears as a living form of writing in nature that enables men and women to understand life and their relationship to the world. It can also be seen as the Grail that the alpinist sets out to find and that reveals the need to leave plants in place and not destroy the environment for motives of profit. This paper aims to show that the imagination may convey an ecological message and that ecological consciousness may lead to metaphysical awareness. En la novela Icefields, del autor canadiense Thomas Wharton, el mundo vegetal es algo más que un elemento accesorio. La vegetación parece ser una forma viva de escritura de la naturaleza que permite a los hombres y a las mujeres entender la vida y su relación con el mundo. Puede también considerarse como un Grial que el alpinista busca y que le revelará la necesidad de dejar que la planta crezca en su medio ambiente sin destruir el mismo con miras mercantiles. Este artículo trata de mostrar que la imaginación puede ser un medio para comunicar un mensaje ecológico y que una conciencia ecológica puede llevarnos a una conciencia metafísica.
Foreign Language Education and the Environment. Considerations from the Perspective of Translation Studies
Authors: Valero-Garcés Carmen 
Published: March 2020

Having been a teacher to foreign language students and as a current trainer to translators, I can see how important it is to make connections between reality and formal education when preparing professionals to enter the job market once (or even before) their training is completed. Assuming, on one hand, that ecology is a dominant science in today’s world with a far-reaching and powerful impact on humanity, and on the other hand, that I have before me in class a generation of future teachers and translators with an environmental consciousness that needs to be raised, it is my purpose in the following pages to give insights into language specialists’ (SLA and translators) training and how it relates to the environment. Como profesional de la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras y formador de traductores considero imprescindible lograr conectar en clase la realidad y la educación formal a lo largo del proceso de preparación de los futuros profesionales antes de entrar en el mercado laboral. Teniendo en cuenta, por un lado, que la ecología lleva camino de convertirse en una ciencia dominante en el mundo de hoy con un impacto de largo alcance sobre la humanidad, y, por otro lado, que delante de mí en clase hay una generación de futuros profesores y traductores cuya conciencia ambiental necesita despertar, en las páginas que siguen mi propósito es tratar de conjugar la formación de especialistas de enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras y traductores con el medio ambiente a través de una serie de actividades de aplicación en el aula. Con este fin, en primer lugar introduciré brevemente algunos puntos que considero importantes para entender la posición adoptada a la hora de conectar medio ambiente, lengua y traducción; y en segundo lugar trataré de ilustra esa conexión con una serie de ejercicios prácticos cuyo objetivo es despertar el interés o profundizar en la conciencia ecológica de los futuros traductores y profesores de lenguas extranjeras.
Material Ecocriticism: Materiality, Agency, and Models of Narrativity
Authors: Iovino Serenella , Oppermann Serpil 
Published: March 2020

The proliferation of studies bearing on the intellectual movement known as the "new materialisms" evinces that a material turn is becoming an important paradigm in environmental humanities. Ranging from social and science studies, feminism, to anthropology, geography, environmental philosophies and animal studies, this approach is bringing innovative ways of considering matter and material relations that, coupled with reflections on agency, text, and narrativity, are going to impact ecocriticism in an unprecedented way. In consideration of the relevance of this debate, we would like to draw for Ecozon@'s readers an introductory map of the new paradigm and introduce what can be called "material ecocriticism." We will illustrate what we consider to be its main features, situating them in the conceptual horizons of the new materialisms. From this genealogical sketch, we will examine the re-definitions of concepts like matter, agency, discursivity, and intentionality, with regard to their effects on ecocriticism and in terms of their ethical perspectives. Resumen La proliferación de estudios procedentes del movimiento intelectual conocido bajo la rúbrica de "nuevos materialismos" pone de manifiesto que la materia está influyendo en el giro paradigmático de los recientes estudios medioambientales en el ámbito de las Humanidades. Desde los estudios científicos y sociales al feminismo, la antropología, la geografía, pasando por los estudios sobre animales y las filosofías del medio ambiente, este enfoque incorpora formas innovadoras de aproximarse a la materia y a las relaciones materiales que, acompañadas de reflexiones sobre la agencia o capacidad de acción, el texto y la narración, van a producir un impacto considerable y sin precedentes en la ecocrítica. En consideración a la relevancia de este debate queremos ofrecer a los lectores de Ecozon@ un mapa introductorio a este nuevo paradigma. En el presente artículo trataremos las que consideramos son las características fundamentales de la ecocrítica de la materia y las situaremos en el horizonte conceptual de los nuevos materialismos. A partir de este esbozo genealógico, examinaremos las redefiniciones de conceptos como materia, agencia en tanto capacidad de acción, discursividad e intencionalidad y las relacionaremos con sus efectos en la ecocrítica y en la ética.
La utopía banal: La urbanización, la globalización y lo antibucólico en Últimas noticias del paraíso
Authors: Wilson Mac John 
Published: March 2020

One of the consequences of globalization in Spain has been the import of the so-called Anglo suburban culture coming from the western world. The development of this culture comes from pastoral roots, in that humans seek to live peacefully with each other as well as with non-humans. Nevertheless, as it has come into contact with capitalism, this pastoral culture has failed because it is commodified like any other consumer product. The Spanish residential communities that have inherited this cultural history in part are known as urbanizaciones. In Clara Sanchez's novel, Últimas noticias del paraíso, these communities reveal themselves as places built to bring together humanity and nature but that, from the perspective of a coming-of-age adolescent, in actuality are centers of artificiality condemned to banality. What this current work proposes is that Últimas noticias del paraíso presents itself as an anti-pastoral and in this way underlines the problems that the globalization of capitalistic culture brings with it by spreading alienation and ambivalence on the part of humanity when confronted with the natural world, even while maintaining a pastoral mask. Resumen Una de las consecuencias de la globalización en España ha sido la importación de la cultura particularmente angla de los suburbs, procedente del mundo occidental. El desarrollo de esta cultura tiene sus raíces en un deseo por lo bucólico, en el que los humanos buscan vivir en paz entre sí y con lo no humano. Sin embargo, al mezclarse con el capitalismo, esta cultura se ha mercantilizado como cualquier otro producto para el consumo. Las comunidades residenciales en España que en parte reflejan la herencia de esta historia cultural se conocen como urbanizaciones. En la novela de Clara Sánchez, Últimas noticias del paraíso, las urbanizaciones se revelan como lugares hechos para unir lo humano a la naturaleza, pero que, desde la perspectiva de un adolescente en aprendizaje vital, en realidad son centros de artificialidad condenados a lo banal. Lo que este trabajo propone es que Últimas noticias del paraíso se presenta como anti-bucólica y así subraya los problemas que trae la globalización de la cultura consumista al propagar alienación y ambivalencia a la humanidad frente el mundo natural, a pesar de que lleva el antifaz de lo bucólico.
