Abstract
This article presents the adaptation of the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory (CDI; Fenson et al., 1993, Guide and technical manual for the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories. San Diego, CA: Singular Press; Fenson et al. 1994, Variability in early communicative development. Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 59, 1–173) to Spanish Sign Language (LSE). Data were collected from 55 participants (32 boys and 23 girls; 17 deaf signers, 38 hearing signers) who, evaluated by their caregivers every 4 months, presented a total of 170 records. The parents reported the signs that the children could understand or produce between 8 and 36 months. Results suggested that the CDI adapted to LSE is a valid and reliable instrument. Signing children could understand more signs than they produced at this early developmental stage. There were no significant differences between boys and girls, or between deaf and hearing children. The development of LSE is similar to other sign languages, although with a lower production of signs in the early stages, perhaps due to the bilingualism of most of the children of our study.

AbstractPatients with major burn injuries typically require numerous blood transfusions. It is not known if an inhalation injury (INHI) directly influences the need for blood transfusion. The purpose of this study was to determine whether INHI increases the amount of blood transfused to major burn patients. A secondary analysis from the Transfusion Requirement in Burn Care Evaluation (TRIBE) study was conducted. Patients with INHI were compared with patients without INHI. The number of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions per day (RBC per day) between INHI and No INHI was analyzed with a multivariable regression. Patients with INHI (n = 78) had significantly larger burns (P = .0004), larger full-thickness burns (P = .0007), greater admission APACHE score (P < .0001), higher admission multiple organ dysfunction scores (P < .0001), and were transfused more RBC per day (P = .009) than No INHI patients (n = 267). In the multivariable regression analysis, RBC per day was significantly associated with the %TBSA burn (P < .0001), age of the patient (P = .004), the need for more than 1 day of mechanical ventilation (P < .0001), the occurrence of at least one blood stream infection (BSI; P = .044), and being assigned to the liberal transfusion arm of TRIBE (P < .001) but not the presence of INHI (P = .056). The null hypothesis that INHI exerts no influence on the amount of blood transfused could not be rejected. Larger burn size, advanced patient age, mechanical ventilation, and BSIs are important determinants of the blood transfusion rate in major burn patients.

Abstract

Background
We characterized the extent of antiretroviral therapy (ART) experience and postdischarge mortality among hospitalized HIV-infected adults in Zambia.

Methods
At a central hospital with an opt-out HIV testing program, we enrolled HIV-infected adults (18+ years) admitted to internal medicine using a population-based sampling frame. Critically ill patients were excluded. Participants underwent a questionnaire regarding their HIV care history and CD4 count and viral load (VL) testing. We followed participants to 3 months after discharge. We analyzed prior awareness of HIV-positive status, antiretroviral therapy (ART) use, and VL suppression (VS; &lt;1000 copies/mL). Using Cox proportional hazards regression, we assessed risk factors for mortality.

Results
Among 1283 adults, HIV status was available for 1132 (88.2%), and 762 (67.3%) were HIV-positive. In the 239 who enrolled, the median age was 36 years, 59.7% were women, and the median CD4 count was 183 cells/mm3. Active tuberculosis or Cryptococcus coinfection was diagnosed in 82 (34.3%); 93.3% reported prior awareness of HIV status, and 86.2% had ever started ART. In the 64.0% with &gt;6 months on ART, 74.4% had VS. The majority (92.5%) were discharged, and by 3 months, 48 (21.7%) had died. Risk of postdischarge mortality increased with decreasing CD4, and there was a trend toward reduced risk in those treated for active tuberculosis.

Conclusions
Most HIV-related hospitalizations and deaths may now occur among ART-experienced vs -naïve individuals in Zambia. Development and evaluation of inpatient interventions are needed to mitigate the high risk of death in the postdischarge period.
Craniocervical Junction Vertebral Artery Dural Arteriovenous Fistula With Cranial and Spinal Venous Reflux: 2-Dimensional Operative Video
Authors: Patel Krunal , Olijnyk Leonardo Desessards , Tsang Anderson Chun On , Pereira Vitor Mendes , Radovanovic Ivan 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Dural arteriovenous fistulae at the craniocervical junction are rare. When present together with spinal and cranial venous reflux they can have an aggressive natural history with hemorrhage or progressive myelopathy from venous congestion. In this operative video we demonstrate key steps in the surgical ligation of a dural arteriovenous fistula supplied by meningeal branches of the V4 segment of the vertebral artery.
Informed consent was obtained. The patient was positioned prone with chin tucked. Utilizing a midline suboccipital craniotomy and removal of the arch of C1, the vertebral artery was identified at its V4 segment at it transitions from extra to intradural. The video illustrates how a midline approach can be used to access this lesion and a far lateral approach is not required to access the vertebral artery and its dural branches at the craniocervical junction. Division of the denticulate ligaments and mobilization of the spinal accessory nerve allows visualization of the proximal portion of the draining vein. Important anatomy in this region is demonstrated. The critical use of indocyanine green (ICG) dye is demonstrated as the first 2 clip applications were not proximal enough to obliterate the proximal draining vein and persistent early venous reflux was still seen on ICG. The importance of access to and obliteration of the proximal draining vein is shown. An intraoperative ICG and postoperative angiogram demonstrates complete occlusion of the dural arteriovenous fistula.
In this case the patient had minor sensory deficits postoperatively which were resolved by 6 wk postoperatively.
Language Pangs
Authors: Ferber Ilit 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Language and pain are usually thought of as opposites, the one being about expression and communication, the other destructive, “beyond words,” and isolating. Language Pangs challenges these familiar conceptions and offers a reconsideration of the relationship between pain and language in terms of an essential interconnectedness rather than an exclusive opposition. The book’s premise is that the experience of pain cannot be probed without consideration of its inherent relation to language, and vice versa: understanding the nature of language essentially depends on an account of its relationship with pain. Language Pangs brings together discussions of philosophical as well as literary texts, an intersection especially productive in considering the phenomenology of pain and its bearing on language. The book’s first chapter presents a phenomenology of pain and its relation to language. Chapters 2 and 3 provide a close reading of Herder’s Treatise on the Origin of Language (1772), which was the first modern philosophical text to bring together language and pain, establishing the cry of pain as the origin of language. Herder also raises important claims regarding the relationship between human and animal, sympathy, and the role of hearing in the experience of pain. Chapter 4 is devoted to Heidegger’s seminar (1939) on Herder’s text about language, a relatively unknown seminar that raises important claims regarding pain, expression, and hearing. Chapter 5 focuses on Sophocles’ story of Philoctetes, important to Herder’s treatise, in terms of pain, expression, sympathy, and hearing, also referring to more thinkers such as Cavell and Gide.
Advice from Our Elders (Standing on the Shoulders of Greatness)
Authors: Zeiger Spencer James 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Collectively, the 39 participants in the Post-Career Reflections study have over 1,000 years of experience. It stands to reason that they have valuable insights for social work educators at different stages of their careers. Participants were asked: “Now that you have retired [or are about to retire], what words of wisdom would you offer to social work educators who about to launch a career in social work education; those social work educators who are midway through their career; and those educators who are in the waning years of their career?” This chapter shares the advice that they offered, divided into sections for newbies, mid-career educators, and twilighters.
The Prognostication
Authors: Zeiger Spencer James 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
How does one know when it’s time to leave the academy and begin The Next Chapter? Some will have the luxury of planning their transition months or even years in advance. Others will reach a point where work conditions become intolerable. Still others may be rudely sacked with little or no notice, perhaps through no fault of their own. Some participants believed physical and mental health issues are motivating factors. For others, taking advantage of a university early retirement was an incentive. Some viewed moving to the next chapter as a natural progression. And for a few, it may be a way to end the misery; they’ve left angry. Categories discussed in this chapter include fear, timing, planning, recognizing when the thrill is gone, burnout, and reduced energy.
Death and Nonexistence
Authors: Yourgrau Palle 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The dead are gone. They count for nothing. Yet if we count the dead, their number is staggering. And they account for most of what’s great about civilization. Compared to the greatness of the dead, the accomplishments of the living are paltry. Which is it then: are the dead still there to be counted or not? And if they’re still there, where, exactly, is “there”? We’re confronted with the ancient paradox of nonexistence bequeathed us by Parmenides. The mystery of death is the mystery of nonexistence. A successful attempt to provide a metaphysics of death, then, must at the same time resolve the paradox of nonexistence. That is the aim of this study. At the same time, the ontology of death, i.e. of ceasing to exist, must serve as an account of birth, i.e. coming to exist, and the primary thesis of this book is that this requires expanding one’s ontology beyond existence and nonexistence to include what underlies both, namely, “being.” The dead, along with the unborn, are nonexistent objects which retain their identity before, during, and after their transition to, and from, existence. The nonexistent are what are “there” that can be counted when we count the dead. The dead and the unborn are thus the same kind of beings as the living. What separates the living from the dead is only their existence.
Narrating South Asian Partition
Authors: Raychaudhuri Anindya 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This book brings together “private” and “public” forms of memory narratives of the 1947 Indian/Pakistani partition, by looking at oral history testimonies (covering direct and inherited memories) on the one hand, and the literature and cinema of partition on the other. The book makes the case that survivors of partition and their descendants are able to exert control over the ways they remember partition and through the ways in which they tell these stories. The book looks at a number of different themes that appear across the oral history interviews, literature, and cinema—home, family, violence, childhood, trains, and rivers—and shows how these narratives need to be seen as evidence of agency on behalf of the narrators. This agency through narration is sometimes explicit, more often implicit, but always contested and politicized. A careful examination of the ways in which agency is manifested in these texts will, I argue, shed new light on the ways in which the events of partition are remembered, narrated, and silenced in public and private life within and beyond the south Asian subcontinent.
“The most awful thing I watched”
Authors: Raychaudhuri Anindya 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
While every single scholarly account of partition features accounts of violence, very few studies have focused on the use of space in the way in which violence is remembered and narrated. Using a detailed study of a number of oral history testimonies, as well as literature and cinema, this chapter examines how people maintain the sanctity of the home in memory by relegating the violence of partition to the margins. This insistence on a physical separation between the nostalgically reconstructed center of the happy home and the threatening violence from the margins is noticeable across partition narratives, and helps to construct an imaginary geography which allows for the complexities of an event remembered.
“The Cause”
Authors: Raychaudhuri Anindya 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This chapter looks at people whose professional identities have been shaped by their own and inherited memories of partition. Using extracts from oral history interviews with artists, writers, academics, community activists, and rehabilitation workers, as well as other interviews and formal autobiographical work, it examines how people’s experiences of partition create particular economic challenges and opportunities in the post-partition world, which, in turn, allow people to create new professional practices and identities. These economic practices range from working in refugee-rehabilitation immediately after partition to illegitimate or illegal activities on the part of refugees attempting to rebuild their lives. Over the years since partition, this form of agency widens to encompass literary and artistic practices, academic work, and community activism. A closer look at how these people mobilize their memories and family stories will show that partition needs to also be seen as a productive event, in the sense that it not only helped to produce identities (“Indian” and “Pakistani”) but it also helped to produce “work” in the form of academic research, artistic production, and social and political activism—all of which provide examples of the articulation of agency on the part of the narrating subjects.
Conclusion
Authors: Raychaudhuri Anindya 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This chapter teases out the theoretical conclusions of the book, reinforcing the ways in which a study of the cultural and memorial legacy of partition can be used to complicate the story and, in the process, undermine state-endorsed historic narratives. Reading narratives of partition as examples of individual and collective agency also allows for a more complex conceptualization of agency. Remembering and narrating the moment when new nations came into being, many of the public and private forms of representation that this book examines provide examples of people trying to exert agency over the ways in which the spaces to which they belonged and which were being reorganized around them into new nation states. Agency through narration can then be seen as ways of trying to find new ways of belonging and articulating new forms of citizenship.
Living in The Merry Ghetto
Authors: Hagen Trever 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Living in the Merry Ghetto reframes how people use music to build resistance. To do so, Hagen addresses the social context of illegal music-making in Czechoslovakia during state socialism, asking “How Do Aesthetics Nurture Political Consciousness?”. He tells the story of a group of rock ’n’ rollers who went underground after 1968, building a parallel world from where they could flourish: the Merry Ghetto. The book examines the case of the Czech Underground, the politics of their music and their way of life, paying close attention to the development of the ensemble the Plastic People of the Universe. Taking in multiple political transitions from the 1940s to the 2000s, the story focuses on non-official cultural practices such as listening to foreign radio broadcasts, seeking out copied cassette tapes, listening to banned LPs, growing long hair, attending clandestine concerts, smuggling albums via diplomats, recording in home-studios, and being thrown in prison for any of these activities. Drawing on ethnographic interviews with Undergrounders, archival research, and participant observation, Hagen shows how these practices shaped consciousness, informed bodies, and promoted collective action, all of which contributed to an Underground way of life.
The Return of the Sun
Authors: Kral Michael J. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This book discusses suicide among Inuit in Arctic Canada and what their communities have done to attempt to prevent it. A thesis of this book is that suicide and other social problems among Inuit are caused by the imperialism/colonialism of the Canadian government, with the most negative effect being a dramatic change in Inuit relationships with each other, especially family relationships. When the family is changed in a family-based collectivist culture, many problems arise. Cases of suicidal youth are discussed. Then the book focuses on the positive aspect that when Inuit communities design and run their own activities for suicide prevention, suicides are prevented. Such stories need to be told in order to help indigenous communities with suicide prevention.
“The Weight on Our Shoulders Is Too Much, and We Are Falling”
Authors: Kral Michael J. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This chapter begins with the suicide of a 16-year-old Inuit youth. There is a focus on Inuit youth suicide and culture change. The role of alcohol and marijuana is discussed, as is how families have been changing. Research throughout the world has found that suicidal youth often come from problematic families, including low levels of family cohesion, parent–child conflict and poor communication, low emotional intimacy, and youth perceptions of family problems. Family has been replaced by new patterns of community, and among Inuit, the most profound changes in the past few decades have been reported in gender roles, the marital relationship, and parent–child relations. Inuit youth began to manifest problems after the establishment of the settlements. Many of these problems are in romantic relationships. Suicides are described that have taken place in Silatuniq, the community that is the focus of this book.
Religion and Renewal
Authors: Bendrups Dan 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This chapter considers developments in Rapanui music in relation to the seminal influence of the Catholic Church from the 1860s through to the present day. Sacred Heart missionaries arrived on Rapa Nui in the 1860s where they played an important role in the community’s cultural renewal, including fostering interactions with the outside world. The Church became a center for various aspects of Rapanui social life, as well as a context for protest against the island’s administration in the early twentieth century. The music of the Church, as well as secular songs performed by missionaries, had a generative influence in Rapanui music, providing new melodic and harmonic ideas that have been woven into Rapanui tradition. Meanwhile, the Rapa Nui Mass has been maintained into the twenty-first century, where it now features in cultural tourism. This chapter draws on historical sources provided by writers associated with the Church, complemented by participant observation of contemporary Church performance practices.
Jazz for Non-Jazzers
Authors: West Chad 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
“It just goes like this, ‘doo ba doo bop’. You dig?” Historically, this was the way jazz was learned, informally, and for many early aspiring jazz musicians—they dug. Others need a little more guidance. This chapter is based on a presentation its author often delivers to introduce teachers to teaching jazz. After this presentation, members from the audience often tell the author: “This is not all that different from the musicianship skills I already have.” This chapter provides a basic overview of (a) styles such as swing, Latin, bop, and blues; (b) rhythmic solfège; (c) articulation; (d) ornamentation; (e) improvisation; (f) intricacies of the rhythm section; and (g) rehearsal and stage setup of the beginning jazz band. The remaining chapters in this book presume some basic and foundational knowledge about jazz as a point of departure, so this chapter serves as that starting point.
Pedagogical Language of Jazz
Authors: Schmidt Russell A. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The pedagogy of jazz continues to evolve. Changes in the art form itself, the gradual development of jazz education resources and techniques, the ubiquitous availability of historically significant recordings in the digital age, and other factors play roles in this continued evolution. However, many longstanding pedagogical theories of what constitutes effective instruction are shown to be true for generation after generation of music students. This chapter outlines practical, effective teaching techniques applied to twenty-first-century jazz ensemble instruction. Topics explored in this chapter include rehearsal plan development; effective communication skills; techniques to ensure student engagement; rehearsal technique; the value of role modeling; and strategies for offering direction and teacher feedback in a manner that will be best received by today’s students, through use of specific language in one’s critiques.
Beginning Improvisation
Authors: Treat Michael 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
An improvised jazz solo is constructed from rhythmic and harmonic vocabulary. It requires the player to have an internal sense of melody, harmony and form that he or she relies on to create musical ideas in real time. This chapter outlines an approach to teaching beginning improvisors that can develop these concepts. It articulates principles of improvisation that students must learn before progressing to advanced theoretical concepts, which include communication; phrasing; tension and release; and the ability to simultaneously create, perform, and respond to music. Throughout the chapter, exercises, activities, and repertoire are provided that effectively lay the groundwork for learning to improvise in the jazz idiom.
