La ermoza istorya de Robinzon o la mizerya: Sephardi Versions of Robinson CrusoeIn the second half of the 19th century the Haskalah, an intellectual movement whose objective was to educate and westernize Eastern European Jews, also reached the Sephardic communities in the Ottoman Empire. As a result, there emerged Sephardic modern secular literature, represented mainly by narrative fiction, theatre plays and press. It should be added that modern Sephardic literature is primarily based on translations or adaptations of Western novels. Among these texts we find Sephardic editions of classics of European literature, such as Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe and Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift.I have found four different versions of Robinson Crusoe that were written in Judeo-Spanish and edited in aljamía. Two of them were published serially in Sephardi press, one in Salonica in 1881 and the other in Constantinople in 1900. The other two editions were prepared by Ben Tsiyon Taragan and published as complete versions, the first one in Jerusalem in 1897 and the second one in Constantinople in 1924. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief analysis of the Sephardic adaptations of Robinson Crusoe by Taragan. La ermoza istorya de Robinzon o la mizerya: sefardyjska wersja Robinsona CrusoeHaskala, zwana także Żydowskim Oświeceniem, to ruch intelektualny, którego celem było odrodzenie kulturowe i społeczne Żydów z EuropyWschodniej oraz ich integracja ze środowiskiem lokalnym. W drugiej połowie XIX wieku Haskala objęła także społeczność Żydów sefardyjskich zamieszkujących tereny należące do Imperium Osmańskiego, w wyniku czego powstała współczesna, świecka literatura sefardyjska reprezentowana głównie przez prozę, sztuki teatralne oraz prasę. Warto dodać, że współczesna literatura sefardyjska oparta jest przede wszystkim na przekładach lub adaptacjach powieści uważanych za klasykę literatury europejskiej, takich jak Romeo i Julia Williama Szekspira, Robinson Crusoe Daniela Defoe czy Podróże Guliwera Jonathana Swifta.W trakcie prowadzonych przeze mnie badań natrafiłam na cztery różne judeo-hiszpańskie wersje Robinsona Crusoe, które zapisane zostały alfabetem hebrajskim, tzw. pismem Rasziego. Dwie z nich ukazały się w prasie sefardyjskiej, jako powieść w odcinkach, pierwsza w Salonikach w 1881 r., a druga w Konstantynopolu w 1900 r. Pozostałe dwie, autorstwa Ben Tsiyona Taragana, zostały wydane w całości, pierwsza w Jerozolimie w 1897 r., druga zaś w Konstantynopolu w 1924 r. Celem tego artykułu jest prezentacja oraz krótka analiza sefardyjskich adaptacji Robinsona Crusoe autorstwa B. T. Taragana.

The Domestication of Cultural Strangeness in the Translation of Children's Literature: The case of Dubravka Ugrešić's Kućni duhovi [Home Ghosts]This article is devoted to the Polish translation of Kućni duhovi [Home Ghosts], a collection of short stories by Dubravka Ugrešić, her only book addressed to the youngest readers which has been published outside Croatia. The study focuses on the issue of cultural strangeness generated mostly by proper names that appear in the stories: ghosts' names, and the names and surnames of other characters. In her translation, Dorota Jovanka Ćirlić domesticated the source text, replacing all of them with Polish equivalents. The comparative analysis presented in this article considers translation strategies she used and illustrates them with numerous examples. Oswajanie obcości kulturowej w przekładzie literatury dziecięcej. Przypadek Domowych duchów Dubravki UgrešićNiniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest przekładowi na język polski zbioru opowiadań Dubravki Ugrešić pt. Domowe duchy. Jest to jedyna książka pisarki adresowana do najmłodszych czytelników, która ukazała się poza granicami Chorwacji. Szczególna uwaga skierowana została na kwestię obcości kulturowej, którą w książce Ugrešić generują przede wszystkim nazwy własne (nazwy duchów, imiona i nazwiska pozostałych bohaterów). Dorota Jovanka Ćirlić, autorka przekładu, dokonała udomowienia tekstu źródłowego, zastępując wszystkie nazwy własne, pojawiające się w oryginale, polskimi ekwiwalentami. Zastosowane przez tłumaczkę strategie translatorskie zostały omówione oraz zilustrowane licznymi przykładami w toku analizy porównawczej.
„Ani kapłani, ani błaźni”. Odsłony zwrotu postsekularnego w antropologii
Authors: Lubańska Magdalena 
Published: January 2021

Neither Priests nor Clowns: Attitudes Towards the Postsecular Turn in Anthropology The article discusses the issue of the postsecular turn in contemporary anthropology, taking into account the cultural processes involved in its emergence. The author attempts to identify research areas and issues worthy of exploring within this turn, and at the same time she considers the bound­ary conditions for its usefulness in scientific research. Referring to the recent anthropological literature on this topic, the author distinguishes two leading epistemological attitudes involved in this turn: the one that acknowledges the supernatural dimension of revelation and the one that sees it as a social fact. Both are heterogenous and each sees the relationship between anthropology and theology differently. Discussing some anthropological views in this regard, the author aims to revive the dialogue between researchers from various social and human sciences representing the postsecular turn. On the one hand, this dialogue can initiate new paths of mutual inspiration and co-thinking; on the other hand, it may lead to more conscious distinctions between different varieties of postsecular reflection. „Ani kapłani, ani błaźni”. Odsłony zwrotu postsekularnego w antropologiiCelem artykułu jest refleksja nad specyfiką zwrotu postsekularnego we współczesnej antropologii, uwzględniająca jego uwarunkowania społeczno-kulturowe oraz związane z nim postawy epistemologiczne. Autorka próbuje wskazać obszary badań i zagadnienia, które powinny być przedmiotem eksploracji tego zwrotu, a zarazem określić warunki brzegowe wykorzystywania wypracowanych na jego gruncie narzędzi analitycznych w badaniach nauko­wych. Odnosząc się do najnowszej literatury przedmiotu, autorka wyróżnia w antropologii dwie wiodące postawy epistemologiczne zaangażowane w ów zwrot: uznające rzeczywistość objawienia oraz odrzucające taką możliwość (naturalistyczne). Dostrzega, że w ich ramach wysuwane są różnorakie pomysły na to, jak mogłaby wyglądać i czemu służyć kooperacja antropologii z teologią. Prezentując antropologiczne odsłony owego zwrotu, tekst ma na celu ożywienie dialogu między reprezentującymi go badaczami uprawiającymi różne nauki huma­nistyczne i społeczne. Dialog ten z jednej strony może zainicjować nowe ścieżki wzajemnych inspiracji i współmyślenia, z drugiej zaś doprowadzić do bardziej świadomych dystynkcji między różnymi wariantami tego zwrotu.
The Response of the Near-Surface Tropical Cyclone Wind Field to Inland Surface Roughness Length and Soil Moisture Content during and after Landfall
Authors: Hlywiak James , Nolan David S. 
Published: January 2021

AbstractThe sensitivity of the inland wind decay to realistic inland surface roughness lengths and soil moisture contents is evaluated for strong, idealized tropical cyclones (TCs) of category 4 strength making landfall. Results show that the relative sensitivities to roughness and moisture differ throughout the decay process, and are dependent on the strength and size of the vortex. First, within 12 h of landfall, intense winds at the surface decay rapidly in reaction to the sudden change in surface roughness and decreasing enthalpy fluxes. Wind speeds above the boundary layer decay at a slower rate. Differences in soil moisture contents minimally affect intensity during the first 12 h, as the enhancement of latent heat fluxes from high moisture contents is countered by enhanced surface cooling. After TCs decay to tropical storm intensities, weakening slows and the sensitivity of the intensity decay to soil moisture increases. Increased latent heating becomes significant enough to combat surface temperature cooling, resulting in enhanced convection outside of the expanding radius of maximum winds. This supports a slower decay. Additionally, the decay of the radial wind profile by quadrant is highly asymmetric, as the rear and left-of-motion quadrants decay the fastest. Increasing surface roughness accelerates the decay of the strongest winds, while increasing soil moisture slows the decay of the larger TC wind field. Results have implications for inland forecasting of TC winds and understanding the potential for damage.

Published: January 2021

Objectives: Tracheocutaneous fistula (TCF) is a common occurrence after pediatric tracheostomy decannulation. However, the persistence of TCF after staged reconstruction of the pediatric airway is not well-described. The primary objective was to determine the rate of persistent TCF after successful decannulation in children with staged open airway reconstruction. Methods: A case series with chart review of children who underwent decannulation after double-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction between 2017 and 2019. Results: A total of 26 children were included. The most common open airway procedure was anterior and posterior costal cartilage grafting (84.6%, 22/26). Median age at decannulation was 3.4 years (IQR: 2.8-4.3) and occurred 7.0 months (IQR: 4.3-10.4) after airway reconstruction. TCF persisted in 84.6% (22/26) of children while 15.4% (4/26) of stomas closed spontaneously. All closures were identified by the one-month follow-up visit. There was no difference in age at tracheostomy ( P = .86), age at decannulation ( P = .97), duration of tracheostomy ( P = .43), or gestational age ( P = .23) between stomas that persisted or closed. Median diameter of stent used at reconstruction was larger in TCFs that persisted (7.0 mm vs 6.5 mm, P = .03). Tracheostomy tube diameter ( P = .02) and stent size ( P < .01) correlated with persistence of TCF on multivariable logistic regression analysis. There were 16 surgical closure procedures, which occurred at a median of 14.4 months (IQR: 11.4-15.4) after decannulation. Techniques included 56.3% (9/16) by primary closure, 18.8% (3/16) by secondary intention and 25% (4/16) by cartilage tracheoplasty. The overall success of closure was 93.8% (15/16) at latest follow-up. Conclusions: Persistent TCF occurs in 85% of children who are successfully decannulated after staged open airway reconstruction. Spontaneous closure could be identified by 1 month after decannulation and was more likely when smaller stents and tracheostomy tubes were utilized. Surgeons should counsel families on the frequency of TCF and the potential for additional procedures needed for closure.

Objective The objective of this review was to spotlight specific methods for people working from home to apply restorative environment research to improve productivity and mental health during shelter-in-place. Background The COVID-19 pandemic has led to sheltering-in-place and telework. While necessary, these strategies may lead to negative consequences such as social isolation and worse performance. However, nature environments have been shown to have a variety of positive effects in several different settings, including improved attention, positive affect, and increased job satisfaction, and these may be translated to the home workspace setting. Method This provides a narrative review of the environmental psychology literature, describing articles involving nature in a task performance or stress context and how it has been applied. It then moves on to discuss how these findings could possibly be applied in the context of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results Although beneficial results are mixed, the review found a variety of relatively simple and cost-effective methods that could assist workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including taking a break in nature and implementing nature in the workspace. Application The application of restorative environment research could be an efficient way of mitigating the negative psychological effects due to at-home sheltering and telework in order to combat COVID-19.
Pharmacological uses of flumazenil in benzodiazepine use disorders: a systematic review of limited data
Authors: Gallo Alexander T , Hulse Gary 
Published: January 2021

Background: The estimated annual prevalence of drug use disorders is as high as 3%, underpinning the need to continually develop more effective treatments. Central nervous system dysregulation, contributing to acute and post-withdrawal syndromes, has traditionally been managed with benzodiazepines; however, a small but growing body of data indicate that the GABAA receptor antagonist, flumazenil, may offer some advantages over traditional management. Aim: To review the literature on the safety and efficacy of flumazenil in benzodiazepine use disorders and identify gaps in the literature. Method: A systematic method was used to identify randomised control trials. Where randomised control trials existed, non-randomised control trials were included to supplement findings. Results: Eleven flumazenil trials were included with varying doses, frequencies and routes of administration. The evidence for flumazenil alone showed generally a reduction in withdrawal symptoms with the exception of one study where withdrawal symptoms initially increased. Flumazenil plus benzodiazepine tapering was assessed in one randomised control trial and a series of non-randomised control trials. Randomised control trial results showed that flumazenil plus benzodiazepine tapering was superior at reducing withdrawal symptoms compared to benzodiazepine tapering alone and placebo. Flumazenil was associated with no serious adverse events; however there remains a risk of seizures. Conclusion: Although flumazenil shows promising efficacy in the management of benzodiazepine use disorders and withdrawal, more randomized control trials are required before a definitive recommendation can be made around its use.

Background Multiple neurovascular contacts in patients with vascular compressive trigeminal neuralgia often challenge the diagnosis of responsible contacts. Purpose To analyze the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of responsible contacts and establish a predictive model to accurately pinpoint the responsible contacts. Material and Methods Sixty-seven patients with unilateral trigeminal neuralgia were enrolled. A total of 153 definite contacts (45 responsible, 108 non-responsible) were analyzed for their MRI characteristics, including neurovascular compression (NVC) grading, distance from pons to contact (Dpons-contact), vascular origin of compressing vessels, diameter of vessel (Dvessel) and trigeminal nerve (Dtrigeminal nerve) at contact. The MRI characteristics of the responsible and non-responsible contacts were compared, and their diagnostic efficiencies were further evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The significant MRI features were incorporated into the logistics regression analysis to build a predictive model for responsible contacts. Results Compared with non-responsible contacts, NVC grading and arterial compression ratio (84.44%) were significantly higher, Dpons-contact was significantly lower at responsible contacts ( P < 0.001, 0.002, and 0.033, respectively). NVC grading had a highest diagnostic area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.742, with a sensitivity of 64.44% and specificity of 75.00%. The logistic regression model showed a higher diagnostic efficiency, with an AUC of 0.808, sensitivity of 88.89%, and specificity of 62.04%. Conclusion Contact degree and position are important MRI features in identifying the responsible contacts of the trigeminal neuralgia. The logistic predictive model based on Dpons-contact, NVC grading, and vascular origin can qualitatively improve the prediction of responsible contacts for radiologists.

Objective: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the parameters that are effective in predicting the possibility of stone migration during ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Patients and method: We divided our patients two group whom we applied ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Patients who migrated stones during ureteroscopic manipulation to the 1st group, and the patients who did not migrate stones to the second group were included. We measured the proximal ureter diameters of the patients in both groups on their computed tomography. We compared these values statistically. In addition, we determined a cut-off value for the ureter diameter to predict the possibility of stone migration. Result: Especially, ureter diameters of patients with middle and lower ureter stones showed significant differences between groups. Also, stone sizes differed significantly between groups. Conclusion: We concluded that the possibility of stone migration is high in patients with a ureter diameter higher than 7.45 mm in the middle and lower ureteric stones. Also, we believe that stone diameter and the surgeon’s experience are effective factors in stone migration.

Authors: Haber Stacy L. , Graybill April , Minasian Ani 
Published: January 2021

Objective: To review the pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of amisulpride and determine its role in the management of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Data Sources: A PubMed search (1946 to November 2020) using the terms amisulpride and APD421 was conducted. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Relevant reports on intravenous amisulpride were included. Data Synthesis: Six clinical trials were evaluated. In 4 trials on the prevention of PONV, a greater percentage of patients who received amisulpride 5 mg compared with placebo experienced a complete response (44%-60% vs 31%-33%, respectively, when used as monotherapy; 58% vs 47%, respectively, when used in combination with another antiemetic). In 2 trials on the treatment of PONV, a significantly greater percentage of patients who received amisulpride 10 mg compared with placebo experienced a complete response (31.4% vs 21.5%, respectively, in patients who had not received prophylaxis; 41.7% vs 28.5%, respectively, in patients who had received prophylaxis). Adverse effects included infusion site pain, chills, hypokalemia, procedural hypotension, and abdominal distension. Relevance to Patient Care and Clinical Practice: Amisulpride is effective for the management of PONV and may be less likely to cause QT prolongation and extrapyramidal symptoms than other dopamine antagonists. Additional information is needed on its use for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and in children. Conclusions: Amisulpride is an important new option for the multimodal management of PONV in adults, and it may be the preferred dopamine antagonist because of the more favorable safety profile that results from its unique pharmacological properties.

Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of urgent endovascular treatment of a chronic type A dissection and contained rupture of the false lumen using a noncustomized triple-branched arch endograft, which necessitated reassignment of the branches to the supra-aortic vessels. Case Report:: A 57-year-old patient with a contained rupture of the descending thoracic aorta, in the setting of a chronic type A dissection and a maximum aortic diameter of 85 mm, was converted to endovascular repair after failure of an open surgical approach. A custom-made triple-branched arch endograft designed for another patient was employed, with concomitant occlusion of the false lumen using a Candy Plug occluder. To adjust the graft’s configuration to the patient’s anatomy, the supra-aortic vessels were not assigned to the originally planned branches. The 12-month follow-up angiography demonstrated a satisfactory result. Conclusion: A noncustomized triple-branched arch endograft can be used in an emergency setting to treat chronic type A dissection, reassigning the branches to the supra-aortic vessels as needed.
Upregulation of miR-1269 Contributes to the Progression of Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer Cells and Is Associated With Poor Prognosis
Authors: Bai Xiuhui , Wang Qiang , Rui Xueqi , Li Xiaohua , Wang Xianming 
Published: January 2021

Background: MicroRNA-1269 (miR-1269) has been identified upregulated in several cancers, as well as in esophageal cancer. In the present study, we investigated the clinical prognostic significance and potential functional role of miR-1269 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods: A total of 107 ESCC patients who underwent surgical resection were enrolled in this study. miR-1269 expression was measured using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to explore the prognostic significance of miR-1269. CCK-8 assays and Transwell assays were used to investigate the effects of miR-1269 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. The direct association between miR-1269 and SOX6 was evaluated using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results: The expression of miR-1269 was significantly upregulated in ESCC tissues and cell lines compared with adjacent normal tissues and esophageal epithelial cell line, respectively. What’s more, the upregulation of miR-1269 was associated with positive lymph node metastasis and advanced TNM stage. ESCC patients with high miR-1269 expression had shorter overall survival than those with low miR-1269 expression levels. Compared with the control group, overexpression of miR-1269 promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while knockdown of miR-1269 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. SOX6 was a direct target of miR-1269. Conclusion: These results suggest that miR-1269 plays an important role in the progression of ESCC by targeting SOX6 and may be a potential prognostic biomarker and the miR-1269/SOX6 axis may be a therapeutic target for the patient with ESCC.
