Enduring effects of psychological treatments for anxiety disorders: meta-analysis of follow-up studies
Authors: Bandelow Borwin , Sagebiel Anne , Belz Michael , Görlich Yvonne , Michaelis Sophie , Wedekind Dirk 
Published: April 2018

BackgroundIt is a widespread opinion that after treatment with psychotherapy, patients with anxiety disorders maintain their gains beyond the active treatment period, whereas patients treated with medication soon experience a relapse after treatment termination.AimsWe aimed to provide evidence on whether enduring effects of psychotherapy differ from control groups.MethodWe searched 93 randomised controlled studies with 152 study arms of psychological treatment (cognitive–behavioural therapy or other psychotherapies) for panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder that included follow-up assessments. In a meta-analysis, pre-post effect sizes for end-point and all follow-up periods were calculated and compared with control groups (medication: n = 16 study arms; pill and psychological placebo groups: n = 17 study arms).ResultsGains with psychotherapy were maintained for up to 24 months. For cognitive–behavioural therapy, we observed a significant improvement over time. However, patients in the medication group remained stable during the treatment-free period, with no significant difference when compared with psychotherapy. Patients in the placebo group did not deteriorate during follow-up, but showed significantly worse outcomes than patients in cognitive–behavioural therapy.ConclusionsNot only psychotherapy, but also medications and, to a lesser extent, placebo conditions have enduring effects. Long-lasting treatment effects observed in the follow-up period may be superimposed by effects of spontaneous remission or regression to the mean.Declaration of interestIn the past 12 months and in the near future, Dr Bandelow has been/will be on the speakers/advisory board for Hexal, Mundipharma, Lilly, Lundbeck, Pfizer and Servier.

Men's Appearance and Political Careers in Han China
Authors: Zhou Yiqun 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
This article examines the connection between appearance and political careers in Han China, discussing what was valued in the physical features, dress, and manners of the men who governed China's first long-lasting empire. Noticing important shifts over the course of the Han, the author argues that the revival of the classical notion of weiyi 威儀 (dignified manners) from the mid-Western Han well into the Eastern Han had important implications for the definition and self-perception of the empire's governing elite. The article closes with an examination of how the Han elite grappled with the problems presented by the deceptiveness of appearance.
Music, Morality, and Genre in Tang Poetry
Authors: Zhixi Qian , Schoenberger Casey 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The relationship between music and Tang poetry is a topic of ongoing interest, usually approached from the perspective of individual genres. This article considers the relationships of three major genres of Tang poetry to music, morality, and one another to argue that musical and ethical considerations were important factors in the waxing and waning of those genres. By the mid-Tang, and perhaps much earlier, the musical system for Han and Six Dynasties yuefu poetry had been lost. Citing poems, critical writings, and histories of such poets as Shen Yue, Yuan Jie, Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen, and Li Qingzhao, however, this article shows how yuefu, shi, and quzi ci poets reappropriated the idea of “music bureau” pieces to experiment with, and stand in for, even older, Confucian ideals on the relationship of lyrics to music and morality. By citing examples where ethical considerations prompted poets and musicians to reinvent and reinterpret older forms, this article complicates the notion of a straight line of development from folk song to literati imitation to antiquarian exercise.

Authors: Spohr Philipp , Dinkla Kasper , Klau Gunnar W. , El-Kebir Mohammed 
Published: April 2018

eXamine is a Cytoscape app that displays set membership as contours on top of a node-link layout of a small graph. In addition to facilitating interpretation of enriched gene sets of small biological networks, eXamine can be used in other domains such as the visualization of communities in small social networks. eXamine was made available on the Cytoscape App Store in March 2014, has since registered more than 7,200 downloads, and has been highly rated by more than 25 users. In this paper, we present eXamine's new automation features that enable researchers to compose reproducible analysis workflows to generate visualizations of small, set-annotated graphs.
Aplicaciones actuales de la hipnosis clínica en Latinoamérica: una revisión sistemática de la literatura
Authors: Krikorian Alicia , Castañeda Estefania 
Published: April 2018

La hipnosis es un tema controversial y estigmatizado. Las múltiples investigaciones de las últimas décadas han permitido tanto derrumbar mitos, como evidenciar sus mecanismos y aplicaciones, y cómo estos contribuyen al bienestar de las personas. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir las aplicaciones actuales de la hipnosis clínica en el contexto latinoamericano. Con este fin se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura en las bases de datos Lilacs y SciELo, empleando los términos “hipnosis”, “hipnosis clínica” y “Latinoamé- rica”. Se incluyeron revisiones de la literatura, artículos originales que tuvieran poblaciones latinoamericanas y presentaciones de caso, publicados entre 1990 y el 2016, escritos en español. La búsqueda inicial arrojó 202 artículos; después de eliminar replicaciones y los que no cumplían criterios de inclusión, 20 artículos fueron incluidos en la revisión. Las aplicaciones de la hipnosis descritas incluyen manejo del dolor, preparación a la cirugía, tabaquismo, problemas gastrointestinales y otras condiciones médicas, aplicaciones en niños y adolescentes, etcétera. Desafortunadamente, los estudios revisados tienen importantes falencias metodológicas, lo que dificulta extraer conclusiones sólidas. A pesar de que la hipnosis es eficaz, práctica, costo-efectiva y aplicada en una gran variedad de problemas clínicos, la evidencia que avala su uso en el contexto latinoamericano es muy limitada. Se requieren investigaciones con una metodología más rigurosa que permitan evidenciar su eficacia en este contexto.
Best interest meetings
Authors: Griffith Richard 
Published: April 2018

Best interests is the standard by which the law judges the propriety of care and treatment for adults who lack decision making capacity. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 Code of Practice argues that the best way to decide on a person's best interests is through a multidisciplinary best interests meeting to enable all views, including those of the patient and their carers to be properly considered. In this article Richard Griffith considers the conduct of a best interest meeting and the role of district nurses in those meetings.
‘It’s like she is a hologram stuck behind my eyes’: Cybernetics and gendered spectrality in William Gibson’s Burning Chrome
Authors: Girard Gaïd 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Rereading the short stories contained in the Burning Chrome collection published in 1986 is a rewarding experience. With two exceptions, all the stories predate the publication of Neuromancer (1984), the novel that made William Gibson world famous and launched the cyberpunk genre. Indeed, the concept of cyberspace is present in the title short story of the collection and so is the idea of a matrix, which hackers try to break into and ‘burn’. Nearly all the stories resort to male first-person narrators. The proximity and subjectivity thus created between reader and narrator crudely highlights the way in which female characters are pushed to the periphery of an already disembodied and spectralized world. Through a close look at ‘Burning Chrome’, ‘The New Rose Hotel’ and ‘Winter Market’, this article aims to show how corporate global capitalism as represented by Gibson paradoxically reinforces the invisibility of women by using state-of-the art technology to turn them into seductive holograms, disembodied voices and spectral presences. The question is: can the Gibson women fight back against this centrifugal move towards non-existence and how do they go about it?
Crouching spectres and hidden masters in ‘Black Man and White Woman in Dark Green Rowboat’ by Russell Banks
Authors: Meillon Bénédicte 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Elaborating on Hemingway’s iceberg metaphor, which encapsulates the implicit dimension of the short story, this article looks at a minimalist story by Russell Banks, which is haunted by the many subtexts floating under the surface of the text. In this article, I show that both the writing and the reading of this elliptic short story are intrinsically haunted by submerged ghost writings, histories, sister stories and discourses, the tips of which briefly surface here and there in Banks’ multi-layered story. A palimpsest haunted by Hemingway’s overbearing influence over the modern short story, Russell Banks’ ‘Black Man and White Woman in Dark Green Row Boat’ first limns the shadowy presence of ‘Hills Like White Elephants’ within its narrative strategy, characterization process, dramatic tension and suggestive descriptive technique. Second, Banks’ artful text betrays lingering traces of the history of the United States, perceptible in background Native American vestiges signalling a ghostly presence that has survived dislocation, as well as in the dialogues, gesturing towards the spectral legacy of slavery and Orientalist discourse haunting social relations. Finally, I tackle the embeddedness of the short story into the sequence, exposing how, because of the allographic echoes tying one story to another, the anonymous characters are haunted by their fuller descriptions, names and roles from other stories, whispering their ways into this highly stylized, understated short story, and fleshing out the characters that roam its landscape as mere spectres. I moreover argue that the failure of the American Dream – encapsulated in a metaphor giving the collection its title, Trailerpark – metonymically haunts this narrative and the whole short story cycle. Last but not least, the collection and each story within are furthermore structurally haunted by the ghostly presence of unidentified characters living in one of the trailers, whose blatant obliteration from the diegesis and missing story pose a number of reading problems.
Haunted readings of female gothic short stories
Authors: Robert-Foley Lily 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
This article deploys a cut-up technique borrowed from the haunted, fictocritical writing of Anna Gibbs. Taking descriptions from parts of different haunted houses found in short stories of the female gothic, it reconstitutes a new house, that is both an architectural assemblage and a reading of the figure of the haunted house as it relates to both gothic studies and feminism. The article has been divided according to passages describing different rooms as they appear in stories by thirteen women writers of the Gothic era: Charlotte Riddell, Mary Wilkins-Freeman, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Elizabeth Gaskell, Edith Nesbit, Emma Frances Dawson, Madeline Wynne, Florence Marryat, Mrs Oliphant, Amelia Edwards, Elizabeth Bowen, Ellen Glasgow and Edith Wharton. The original paper, delivered at the 2015 Conference Haunting in Short Fiction and Its Adaptations at the University of Angers, was accompanied by a hypertext, choose-your-own-adventure-style Powerpoint presentation in which conference participants could select different doors and passageways, each leading to a different route, reading their way through the collaged house in an itinerant fashion. The rooms and architectural features, with their accompanying passages and readings, are here presented in a linear fashion.
A new mathematical approach for representing the deformation mechanism of rocks under constant load
Authors: Aksoy C. O. , Safak S. , Uyar G. G. , Ozacar V. 
Published: April 2018

Rock masses will remain under constant load due to the engineering structures in rocks. Particularly, weak rocks undergo time-dependent deformation under constant load following the initiation of mining or civil engineering works. Initially, deformations in rock masses are caused by the closure of discontinuities. Following the completion of discontinuity closures, the rock material will also be subjected to deformation depending on the load applied. On this occasion, deformation characteristics of rock may become important for the stability of an engineering structure in the rock mass. If there is no intervention on completion of the construction work, deformations will diminish and it will come to an end. This phase is the phase in which secondary stresses come into equilibrium. Insertion of certain parameters in empirical equations in designing rock structures should be considered instead of expensive and time-consuming in-situ tests. Generally, empirical equations that determine the deformation modulus are based on rock mass classification systems. Many empirical equations developed by different researchers can be used to determine the deformation modulus. These equations use the uniaxial compressive strength (UCSi) and elastic modulus (Ei) values of rocks obtained in the laboratory as parameters, such as of rocks obtained from laboratory tests. Those parameters, which are used in empirical equations to state deformation and strength characteristics of rocks, may be reliably used particularly in engineering designs by numerical modelling. In all rock types, deformations will start with the closure of discontinuities; however, pre-failure deformation characteristic of the rock mass will be a factor for the timing of failure. In this study, time-dependent deformational characteristics were analysed under constant load on 12 different rock types from different locations. The results indicate that the rocks deformed in a different manner under various constant loads. In addition, meaningful equations of time–load–deformation were derived from the results of laboratory experiments conducted on different rock types under various constant loads.

TCC: UM MOMENTO OBRIGATÓRIO OU UMA OPORTUNIDADE CONSTRUÍDA?
Authors: Tondato da Trindade Ana Paula Nassif , Bachur José Alexandre , Oliveira Fabricio Borges 
Published: April 2018

No início da vida acadêmica, o aluno vislumbra um universo de conhecimentos inovadores, mas, ao mesmo tempo, cercado de regras e códigos. O meio de construção do conhecimento no Ensino Superior, deve se basear na tríade Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão, e acontecer de forma interligada. Essa indissociabilidade leva a universidade a desenvolver seu papel social na busca por uma sociedade mais igualitária, diminuindo a desigualdade. A desestabilização que a pesquisa provoca é paralela à quebra de paradigmas e ao desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico. Junto com o processo de construção de conhecimentos, também observamos uma constante mudança social. Essa é a grande contribuição que a pesquisa agrega ao estudante, a possibilidade de impactar na sociedade e promover mudanças. Analisando esse contexto, observamos que isso só é possível através do desenvolvimento de um Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (TCC), que levante questionamentos simples e do cotidiano, mas que podem ser ampliados e possibilitar a mudança uma comunidade. Neste artigo, partimos do pressuposto de que um TCC da graduação pode ser um estudo sobre qualquer assunto relacionado ao curso. Não precisa ser algo inédito nem esgotar a bibliografia existente. Cabe a cada instituição de Ensino Superior definir, de acordo com a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, critérios justos e adequados à realidade acadêmica e torná-lo pertinente e proveitoso para todos os envolvidos.
A IMAGEM DO PROFESSOR DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA -INDÍCIOS DE QUEIXAS
Authors: Batista Teixeira Patricia Soares 
Published: April 2018

O presente trabalho é parte integrante do estudo realizado na dissertação de mestrado que analisa registros do licenciando sobre as práticas de ensino. Este tem como finalidade verificar por meio de uma análise discursiva, elementos na escrita que delineiam a imagem do professor supervisor de estágio de língua portuguesa, bem como a imagem de si enquanto professor em formação. O objetivo é verificar nos escritos possíveis indícios de queixas acerca do trabalho do profissional em exercício. As análises são fundamentadas no conceito pêchetiano de formações imaginárias, que designa o que o sujeito pode ou não dizer a partir da posição que ocupa. Os resultados mostram que a imagem do professor supervisor para o professor em formação está muito aquém do esperado. Ele ainda é visto como alguém despreparado, cansado e sem criatividade. O corpus é constituído por excertos de relatórios finais de estágio supervisionado do curso de Letras de duas instituições federais que se encontram disponíveis na base de dados do Grupo de Pesquisa Gepadle (Grupo de estudos e pesquisas em análise do discurso leitura e escrita) que estuda o papel da escrita nas licenciaturas.

Published: April 2018

BACKGROUND: N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2) enzyme, encoded by NAT2 gene, plays a key role in metabolism of anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug isoniazid. Polymorphisms in NAT2 gene may result in different responses to TB therapy. Since TB prevalence in the eastern part of Indonesia is high, the aim of this study is to explore the distribution of NAT2 gene polymorphisms among population from Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur.METHODS: A total of 234 respondents were included from Kupang in 2012. Polymorphisms of NAT2 gene were examined using mass screening platform and the genotypes distribution were presented in percentage. To confirm NAT2 gene polymorphisms, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-sequencing was performed in a subset of population.RESULTS: The polymorphisms of NAT2 gene showed that the distribution of rs1801279 for GG genotype was 100%; whereas the genotype distribution of rs1799930 for GG, GA and AA was 57%, 35.1% and 7.9%, respectively. In a subset of individuals (n13), acetylator status was well determined by PCR-sequencing, resulting in individual with wild type fast acetylator (NAT2*4; n4), intermediate (NAT2*4/*5 or NAT2*4/*6 or NAT2*4/*7; n7) and poor acetylators (NAT2*6/*6 or NAT2*7/*7; n2).CONCLUSION: The amino acid change in rs1799930 result in intermediate and poor acetylator status in Kupang population. This may lead to suboptimal response of TB therapy. Assessing acetylator status before TB therapy is important and may serve as personalized INH therapy.KEYWORDS: NAT2 gene, polymorphism, acetylator status, Kupang
