Additions to the ant fauna (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Maltese Islands
Authors: Mifsud David , Lapeva-Gjonova Albena 
Published: September 2019

The Maltese Islands are situated in the Central Mediterranean basin having a total land area of c. 316 km2. A diverse ant fauna is present in this archipelago, which is increasingly threatened by habitat degradation and invasion of alien species. The myrmecofauna of the archipelago has received considerable attention by researchers since 1893, bringing the total number to 59 species (Gómez 2017, Salata and Borowiec 2018), 11 of which are non-native. Confirmation of some already reported species, e.g. Messor structor (Latreille, 1798), Tapinoma nigerrimum (Nylander, 1856), Tetramorium caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758), is required in the light of recent taxonomic changes.
Based on a critical literature review, older unpublished data (1995–1997) by one of us (DM), and newly collected ant material (mainly between 2015 and 2019) we provide an updated list of 70 ant species from the Maltese Islands. The specimens were collected by different techniques (e.g. direct sampling, sifting, MSS-traps, Malaise traps). Two ant species were recorded for the first time in the Maltese Islands and for five species we provide the first verified records. Seven morphospecies with unspecified taxonomic status were also collected and require further studies.

Published: September 2019

The singing cicadas (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadoidea) of Bulgaria remain poorly known. There are published records for 14 species (Arabadzhiev 1963, Barjamova 1976, Barjamova 1978, Barjamova 1990, Dirimanov and Harizanov 1965, Dlabola 1955, Gogala et al. 2005, Háva 2016, Janković 1971, Nast 1972, Nast 1987, Nedyalkov 1908, Pelov 1968, Yoakimov 1909):Lyristes plebejus,Cicada orni,Cicadatra atra,C. hyalina,C. persica,Cicadetta montana,C. mediterranea,Oligoglena tibialis,Tympanistalna gastrica,Pagiphora annulata,Dimissalna dimissa,Saticula coriaria,Tibicina haematodesandT. steveni. Two species from this list should be excluded from the list of Bulgarian cicadas, sinceT. gastricais distributed in central and southern Portugal (Sueur et al. 2004) andS. coriariais a north African species (Boulard 1981).We checked three major institutional collections housed in Sofia, Bulgaria: the National Museum of Natural History (NMNHS), Institute of Zoology (ZISB) and Biology Faculty of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" (BFUS). We confirmed 11 of the species mentioned in the literature, exceptC. mediterranea, and found 2 additional species:C. brevipennisandC. macedonica.Based on this knowledge, we further investigated the singing cicadas of Bulgaria with the use of classical and bioacoustic methods in the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2016, 2018 and 2019. We were not able to confirm the presence ofC. persicaandC. mediterranea, but found three additional species:Cicadatra platyptera,Cicadetta cantilatrixandTettigettula pygmea. Using the bioacoustic methods we also detected 3 to 4 additional taxa, which need to be described.Thus, the Bulgarian fauna of singing cicadas at the moment consists of 17+ species.
L’Atlas des Régions Naturelles, un manifeste photoconceptuel de la périphérie ordinaire
Authors: Bertho Raphaële 
Published: September 2019

L’Atlas des Régions Naturelles initié en 2017 par Éric Tabuchi cherche à investir une place inédite pour la photographie au sein du projet d’architecture ou de paysage : l’image n’est pas ici convoquée par le biais de la commande, c’est son existence même qui a pour objet de susciter le projet. Il s’agit ici de tenter de cerner cet objet visuel original, héritier des voyages pittoresques du XIXe siècle comme du photo conceptualisme américain des années 1960, des missions photographiques françaises contemporaines comme des manifestes architecturaux de la fin du XXe siècle, de la pensée du paysage vernaculaire comme de la théorisation de l’ordinaire. L’analyse du protocole adopté comme des stratégies d’exposition permet de comprendre le projet d’Éric Tabuchi tout à la fois comme un manifeste de la périphérie que comme une proposition d’ingénierie intellectuelle d’appréhension des territoires actuels.
Photographie et maquette chez Le Corbusier. Dialogues entre la création et la diffusion.
Authors: de La Cova Miguel-Angel 
Published: September 2019

De la Villa Fallet en 1907 jusqu’à l’hôpital de Venise en 1965, Le Corbusier a produit des maquettes et les a photographiées, soit pour la diffusion de son œuvre, soit pour utiliser le matériel iconographique comme instrument de travail. La photographie et la maquette apparaissent ainsi comme les acteurs communs de deux scènes qui ont marqué la trajectoire de l’artiste : les lieux de son travail et les espaces de diffusion. La sphère intime et la sphère publique, le moi et l’autre, sont réunies dans ces images nées de l’esprit de Le Corbusier ainsi que du travail de ses photographes et maquettistes, mené en étroite collaboration avec l’architecte pour la plupart d’entre eux. Les différents points de vue photographiques des maquettes montrent que celles-ci jouent un rôle au-delà d’une simulation de la réalité à venir. Comment la maquette est-elle présentée sur la photo ? Comment l’appareil photo se positionne-t-il devant le modèle ? Qu’est-ce qui intéresse l’architecte et le photographe ? Le dialogue entre les deux instruments, l’appareil photographique et la maquette, rend possible l’analyse de l’architecture et sa diffusion, par ailleurs il souligne la dimension plastique de l’objet. La photographie de maquette se démarque de la représentation académique plus traditionnelle du dessin et permet de comprendre les nouveaux processus de projet, à travers la manipulation de la maquette et des matériaux qu’elle occasionne. Il y a là un travail créatif qui demande un dialogue entre l’architecte, le photographe et le maquettiste, au-delà de la commande professionnelle.
IL-25 Orchestrates Activation of Th Cells via Conventional Dendritic Cells in Tissue to Exacerbate Chronic House Dust Mite–Induced Asthma Pathology
Authors: Claudio Estefania , Wang Hongshan , Kamenyeva Olena , Tang Wanhu , Ha Hye-lin , Siebenlist Ulrich 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
House dust mite (HDM) extract is a common trigger of asthma in humans. Chronic exposure to HDM also induces asthma-like pathology in mice. Allergic responses to HDM and other allergens are linked to release of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP by epithelial cells; these cytokines, especially IL-33, target innate lymphoid cells type 2 to produce type 2 cytokines. To what extent and by what mechanisms IL-25 contributes to chronic HDM-induced pathology is not well understood. In humans, elevated levels of IL-25 appear to be associated with cases of uncontrolled asthma and exacerbated attacks. In this article, we demonstrate that blockade of IL-25 signaling in either lung conventional dendritic cells or in T cells resulted in similar decreases in production of IL-13 and IL-9 by T cells, reduced mast cell accumulation and tissue remodeling, and improved lung function but had only modest effects on eosinophilia. Stimulation of conventional dendritic cells by IL-25 promoted proximal accumulation of Th cells, and stimulation of Th cells by IL-25 locally promoted IL-13 and IL-9 production. IL-25 made notable contributions to chronic HDM-induced allergic asthma pathology by facilitating clustering and cross-stimulation of different cell types in tissue. Therapeutic targeting of IL-25 in combination with other treatments may be beneficial.

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is comparision of local and distant control rates with high-dose versus standard-dose radiotherapy along with concurrent chemotherapy in esophageal cancer – a prospective randomized study. Materials and Methods: Histologically proven Stage I–III patients with carcinoma esophagus were randomized into two groups. One group has been treated with standard-dose radiotherapy, i.e., a total dose of 50.4 Gy (1.8 Gy/day, 28#, 5 days/week). The other group (study arm) has received high-dose radiotherapy, i.e. a total dose of 64.8 Gy (1.8 Gy/day, 36#, 5 days/week). Both groups have received 2 cycles of 3 weekly concurrent chemotherapy (cisplatin 75 mg/m[2] on day 1 and 5-fluorouracil 750 mg/m[2] continuous intravenous infusion over 24 h on day 1–4). Follow-up response evaluation was done by both endoscopy and computed tomography scan after 6–8 weeks and after 2 months thereafter. Results: Out of a total of 28 patients, 68% showed a complete response, 14% showed partial response, and 18% patients developed progressive disease at first and subsequent follow up (median follow-up of 21 months). Among the complete response patients, rates were higher in high-dose group compared to standard-dose radiotherapy group (71% vs. 64%, P = 0.38). Treatment-related toxicities were acceptable in both groups. Conclusion: High-dose radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy seems to be more effective with acceptable toxicity in our study. However, further follow-up and large sample size may be required to validate the current study conclusion.
A Rare Case of Epidermoid Cyst in Neck
Authors: Srivastava Abhinav , Agrawal Ranjan , Bhardwaj Prashant 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT
Epidermoid cysts are common lesions, but malignant transformation of their epithelium is rare. There are few case reports in the literature concerning malignant transformation of an epidermal cyst into squamous cell carcinoma. Two epidermoid cysts occurring simultaneously in the neck is rare and not a single case report is available in the literature. One of the cysts transforming into squamous cell carcinoma and the other showing atypical changes is still the rarest and not reported till date. We present a case of two epidermal inclusion cysts in a patient out of which there were atypical changes in one cyst and other cyst showed squamous cell carcinoma.

Mucoid and Nonmucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Respiratory Tract Infections
Authors: Prakash Ved , Mishra Prem P 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common etiological agent causing various infections. The isolates can be mucoid or nonmucoid. It harbors innate resistance to a broad range of antibiotics.

Objectives
The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the mucoid and nonmucoid isolates along with their antibiogram from respiratory samples.

Materials and methods
A total of 220 isolates of P. aeruginosa were obtained from various clinical specimens and 72 from respiratory samples. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified by standard colony morphology and bacteriological methods, and antibiotic sensitivity was determined by the Kirby Bauer method.

Results
Out of the 72 respiratory samples, 15 (20.83%) were mucoid strains and 57 (79.87%) nonmucoid strains. The mucoid colonies showed high resistance to antibiotics, such as co-trimoxazole (COT) (73.33%), ciprofloxacin (CIP) (60%), and ceftazidime (CAZ) (53.33%), whereas high resistance rate among the nonmucoid isolates were seen in (COT) (78.95%), (CIP) (71.93%), (CAZ) (54.39%), cefepime (52.63%).

Conclusion
The antibiotic susceptibility pattern helps in constituting the guidelines for treatment and management of the infections by P. aeruginosa.

Published: September 2019

Los objetivos de este estudio han sido (1) diseñar e implementar un programa para el aprendizaje de la guitarra en el Grado en Educación Infantil a través de videotutoriales y (2) explorar las percepciones del alumnado y profesorado acerca de dicho programa. Su planteamiento metodológico se fundamenta en el visionado de videotutoriales antes y después de cada una de las seis sesiones de las que consta dicho programa El conjunto de participantes del estudio estuvo formado por el alumnado del último curso del Grado en Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Murcia (N=167) y dos profesores que llevaron a la práctica dicho programa. Para la recogida de información se elaboró un cuestionario ad hoc destinado al alumnado y una entrevista para los profesores. Los resultados revelaron que los participantes otorgan un papel fundamental a los videotutoriales en el proceso de aprendizaje desarrollado en este programa. Asimismo, el 75% del alumnado constató sentir cumplidas sus expectativas iniciales y se sintieron competentes para acompañar canciones con la guitarra en el aula de Educación Infantil.

The aim of this work is to design, implement and evaluate a program for learning to play the guitar in the degree of Early Childhood Education through the use of video tutorials. The sample of participants of the study was a group of 167 students of the last year of the Degree in Early Childhood Education of the University of Murcia. For the data collection an ad hoc questionnaire and an interview with the professors responsible for implementing the programme were designed. The results reveal the recognition of the guitar as an appropriate tool for the teachers of Early Childhood Education and the fundamental role of video tutorials in the learning process.
Økokritiske litteratursamtaler – en arena for økt bevissthet om økologisk samspill?
Authors: Goga Nina 
Published: September 2019

Høsten 2020 innføres nye læreplaner (LK20) i norsk skole. Noe av det nye i disse læreplanene er innføringen av tverrfaglige temaer og kjerneelementer i alle fag. I denne artikkelen retter jeg oppmerksomheten mot det tverrfaglige temaet bærekraftig utvikling for å diskutere hvordan dette kan integreres i norskfaget med vekt på kjerneelementene tekst i kontekst, kritisk tilnærming til tekst og muntlig kommunikasjon. Diskusjonen tar utgangspunkt i teoretiske perspektiver på økokritikk, littera-tursamtaler og skalert lesing, og gjennom et forslag til hvordan lærere kan legge til rette for økokritiske litteratursamtaler om representasjoner av forholdet mellom barn og trær i to barnelitterære klassikere. Artikkelen argumenterer for at denne koblingen mellom oppmerksom lesing av og samtaler om barnelitteratur kan utvikle kritiske perspektiver på verbal-språklige framstillinger av flersanselige naturerfaringer og dermed være et bidrag til økt bevissthet om økologisk samspill. Dette er kunnskap som kan ha betydning for hvordan barn og unge blir språklig rustet til å orientere seg i den overordnete klimadiskursen og for hvordan de vil forstå seg selv i rollen som økoborgere.Nøkkelord: økokritikk, plantestudier, litteratursamtaler, barnelitteratur, Johanna Spyri, L.

Some of what is new in LK20 is the introduction of cross-curricular themes and core elements in all school subjects. In this article I turn the attention to the cross-curricular theme sustainable development to discuss how this may be integrated into the school subject Norwegian and with a special emphasis on the core elements text in context, critical approach to text and oral communication. The discussion is based on theoretical perspectives on ecocriticism, literature conversations and scaled reading, and on a specific proposal for how teachers may prepare for ecocritical literature conversations on representations of the relationship between children and trees in two literary classics for children. The article argues that this bridging between careful reading of and conversation about children’s literature may evolve a critical approach to verbal depictions of multisensory nature experiences and hence contribute to increased awareness of ecological interplay. Such knowledge may prove significant to children’s linguistic skills needed to orientate in the overall climate discourse and to how they understand themselves as ecocitizens.Keywords: ecocriticism, plant studies, literature conversations, children’s literature, Johanna Spyri, L.

Evaluation of the Anyplex II HPV28 Assay in the Detection of Human Papillomavirus in Archival Samples of Oropharyngeal Carcinomas
Authors: Rollo Francesca , Donà Maria Gabriella , Pichi Barbara , Pellini Raul , Covello Renato , Benevolo Maria 
Published: September 2019

Context.—
The improved survival and better response to treatments of human papillomavirus (HPV)–related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) highlight the need for effective tools in evaluating HPV status on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cancer tissues. To date, there is no agreement regarding the most appropriate method for HPV testing on FFPE materials.

Objective.—
We aimed to investigate the performance of the Anyplex II HPV28 (Anyplex) on FFPE OPSCC tissues and to compare it with 2 other methods for HPV-DNA detection and p16 overexpression.

Design.—
One hundred sixty FFPE OPSCCs were evaluated, which had already been analyzed with the INNO-LiPA HPV assay, Xpert HPV assay, and p16 immunostaining.

Results.—
All the samples but 1 provided valid results with the Anyplex, which showed the highest HPV detection rate and a good concordance with all the other methods (κ = 0.75, 95% CI, 0.65–0.85 versus INNO-LiPA; κ = 0.80, 95% CI, 0.70–0.89 versus Xpert; κ = 0.76, 95% CI, 0.65–0.86 versus p16). Moreover, the HPV-driven fraction, based on HPV-DNA and p16 double positivity, was higher with Anyplex (83 of 159, 52.2%) than with the other 2 assays, that is, 78 of 156 (50.0%) for INNO-LiPA and 80 of 160 (50.0%) for Xpert.

Conclusions.—
Anyplex II HPV28 showed a higher HPV detection rate and HPV-associated fraction than the other methods used. This assay is suitable for HPV detection in archival OPSCC tissues.
Histologic Evaluation of Malignant Polyps and Low-Stage Colorectal Carcinoma
Authors: Hagen Catherine E. , Farooq Ayesha 
Published: September 2019

Context.—
With widespread screening for colorectal cancer, the number of early-stage colorectal cancers is increasing. Local excision of pT1 tumors is associated with considerably less morbidity and mortality, but this must be weighed against risk of lymph node metastases.

Objective.—
To understand histologic prognostic factors associated with adverse outcome in malignant polyps.

Data Sources.—
Pertinent literature regarding histologic features of prognostic significance in malignant polyps and low-stage colorectal carcinomas is summarized and our institute's cases are used to highlight these histologic features.

Conclusions.—
Poor prognostic factors for malignant polyps include high tumor grade, presence of lymphovascular invasion, tumor less than 1 mm from resection margin, submucosal invasion deeper than 1 mm, and high tumor budding. These features should be assessed by the pathologist and communicated to the clinical team in order to allow proper management.
Défis et possibilités pour les piétons âgés en région
Authors: Thouin Aimée , Cloutier Marie-Soleil 
Published: September 2019

Marcher en milieu urbain lorsqu’on est âgé n’est pas toujours simple ni sécuritaire. Bien que ce sujet ait fait l’objet de nombreux travaux récemment, peu ont été menés dans les villes situées en régions éloignées. Cet article répond à cette lacune en examinant l’influence de l’environnement bâti sur les espaces d’action piétonniers d’aînés habitant à Rouyn-Noranda. Deux collectes de données complémentaires ont été réalisées : des entretiens et une évaluation de la marchabilité (par une grille d’audit adaptée aux besoins des aînés) ont permis de cartographier et de connaître l’environnement de marche d’un groupe de piétons âgés vivant à Rouyn. Les résultats démontrent que les piétons âgés souhaitent surtout marcher dans des lieux agréables, sans nécessairement tenir compte de la sécurité routière, qui obtient bien souvent de faibles notes à ces mêmes endroits. Devant le défi que représente le vieillissement de la population, une meilleure connaissance des besoins des piétons âgés s’impose, peu importe la taille de la ville, et nos résultats apportent d’intéressantes pistes de réflexion à cet égard.
