Transformación de la nueva narrativa quechua del Perú contemporánea (2010-2014)
Authors: Zevallos Aguilar Ulises Juan 
Published: July 2018

Este artículo trata los textos más representativos de la literatura quechua peruana reciente. Enfoca su análisis en la autobiografía Memorias de un soldado desconocido (2012) de Lurgio Gavilán Sánchez, el testimonio Hilos de mi vida (2010) de Hilaria Supa Huamán y Te esperaré siempre y otros relatos (2010) de Gloria Cáceres Vargas. Se destaca el hecho de que los escritores quechuas dejaron de escribir solamente en quechua y que escogieron la prosa en castellano para abordar, de manera más detallada, la construcción de nuevas subjetividades y posiciones políticas quechuas tomando en cuenta procesos de descolonización del saber, del poder y del género. De esta forma, proponemos, se desmantelan los estereotipos que se tienen sobre los quechuas como personas pasivas y víctimas de sus opresores.
Reading for Stimmung in Muñoz Molina’s Sefarad
Authors: Sherman, Jr. Alvin F. 
Published: July 2018

En su novela Sefarad, Antonio Muñoz Molina logra sumergir el lector en un mundo repleto de olores y sabores, objetos, lugares y circunstancias, y sensaciones físicas y emocionales que desencadenan una reacción física en el lector que sobrepasa la lectura pasiva del texto. A base de las ideas de Heidegger, Gumbrecht, y otros, se desarrolla aquí una manera sobretextual de aproximarse el lector al texto. Aplicando las ideas de Stimmung, veremos cómo el autor ha logrado injertar en los recuerdos de su narrador sensaciones que individualizan la experiencia vivida. Lo significativo de esa técnica es la capacidad de esas descripciones de afectar al lector, ligando sus experiencias y recuerdos con los del narrador. Esa técnica complementa y aumenta la importancia de la identidad individual frente a su neutralización en el contexto de una identidad nacionalista, sutilmente representado en el contexto franquista. Como sugiere el título, Sefarad recalca el papel que juegan los elementos culturales (comida, aromas, lugares, celebraciones, etc.) que estimulan al individuo y causan una reacción física (e.g., escalofríos, hambre, salivar, lágrimas). Como resultado, la novela sirve como propaganda antinacionalista y reafirma la peculiaridad de la identidad individual y cultural que define a un pueblo.
Memoria crítica, working memory y pensar novelesco en La noche de los tiempos de Antonio Muñoz Molina
Authors: Lefere Robin 
Published: July 2018

La noche de los tiempos (2009), de Antonio Muñoz Molina, constituye una novela histórica que debe ser comprendida en función del debate español sobre la “memoria histórica”. El presente estudio empieza rastreando los artículos comprometidos del autor que preceden y preparan la novela (un epitexto con efecto paratextual), y pone de relieve cómo forjan un mito republicano que se reivindica no solo en tanto recuperación de una herencia sino como referencia para enjuiciar el presente y fundamentar un nuevo porvenir. Luego, examina en qué medida y de qué manera la novela, en especial gracias a las especificidades del pensamiento ficticio, constituye una aportación original: por una parte, con respecto a dichos artículos, cuyo ideario acaba socavando al mismo tiempo que lo exalta, y, por otra, de cara a la memoria controvertida de la Guerra Civil, superando los paradigmas habituales del reconocimiento y de la instrumentalización hacia la construcción de un discurso complejo y no partidista, caracterizado por una representación densísima y polifónica, la ejemplaridad filosófica y unmetadiscurso tan crítico como autocrítico.
Duelo por el padre y duelo por la patria. La poliatría en El olvido que seremos (2006), de Héctor Abad Faciolince
Authors: Vanden Berghe Kristine 
Published: July 2018

En 2006, casi dos décadas después del asesinato de su padre, Héctor Abad Faciolince publicó una novela sobre este crimen titulada El olvido que seremos. En la medida en que sugiere múltiples relaciones entre la familia y la nación, y entre el padre y la patria, el libro supone un importante análisis revisionista del reciente pasado colombiano. Al mismo tiempo estas relaciones – sobre todo de contraste – suscitan la pregunta de saber hasta qué punto la memoria construida por el escritor – que en principio se presenta como incomparable y literal – tiene un valor emblemático y colectivo. Por los temas que aborda, el libro incita asimismo a reflexionar en torno al papel que pueden desempeñar la belleza y el olvido en los procesos de duelo. En la presente contribución estudiaremos estos temas en la novela del escritor antioqueño, situándolos en el marco más general de las letras colombianas e hispanoamericanas contemporáneas que tratan de la violencia en el reciente pasado histórico.
Perder y ganar suicidios: teorías vilamatasianas del espacio literario
Authors: Quesada-Gómez Catalina 
Published: July 2018

Partiendo de uno de los postulados de Historia abreviada de la literatura portátil, según el cual el suicidio debe perpetrarse en el espacio de la escritura, este artículo analiza Suicidios ejemplares (1991) de Enrique Vila- Matas examinando cómo dicha propuesta se vincula con la teoría literaria y cómo se relaciona con el espacio y el texto. La obra, además de explorar la senda del exterminio de la escritura y su equiparación con el acto suicida, escenifica una suerte de teoría literaria que reclama la importancia de lo espacial en la literatura y la necesidad de que esta, desprovista del transcurrir temporal característico del discurso, se aproxime a la ucronía propia de las artes plásticas.
The Effectiveness of Skimming and Scanning Strategies in Improving Comprehension and Reading Speed Rates to Students of English Study Programme
Authors: Fauzi Iwan 
Published: July 2018

This research was aimed to know the effectiveness of skimming and scanning strategies to improve students’ reading ability indicated by their competence to comprehend texts and their performance in the speed of reading. Pretest-posttest control group design was used in this research. Third year students of English Study Programme of FKIP of Palangka Raya University were taken to the reasearch subject. There were 54 students taken which were equally in number grouped into an experimental group and a control group. Both groups were considered to be equal in reading performance with regard to the result of pretest carried out before the experiment. Experimental group was the class where the researcher supervised it, and control group was a group where he did not supervise it with the experiments. The result showed that scores of reading tasks given to the experimental group were significantly different with the control group in which t-value was 9.928 with the significance (2-tailed) value was p<0.05. Meanwhile, the speed of reading rates of the experimental group was also significantly different with that of in the control group where t-value was 9.325 with the significance (2-tailed) value was p<0.05. Either comprehension or speed rates performed by experimental group showed more excellent than its counterpart. Based on these findings, skimming and scanning strategies were undeniably effective to improve students’ comprehension in reading and efficient to boost their reading speed.Keywords: Reading comprehension; Reading speed; Skimming; Scanning
USE OF INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDIZATION IN THE BREEDING OF ADAPTIVE HYBRIDS AND SORTS OF GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUM (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.)
Authors: Nedoluzhko A. I. 
Published: July 2018

Many garden chrysanthemums bred across the world are not fully winter hardy. Many are damaged by fungal diseases due to a high humidity and are late flowering. This makes them unsuitable for general commercial marketing. Since 2000 we have been conducting a breeding program using natural species of the genus Chrysanthemum that are adapted to the local conditions. The strategy of breeding adaptive hybrids and varieties of chrysanthemum native to Russia was proposed based on their biological, genetic peculiarities and natural resources of Chrysanthemum with the use of interspecific hybridization. Research objects are the first generations of interspecific hyb rids of F1obtained previously by the author as a result of the hybridization of varieties and wild species of Chrysanthemum. Derived from different species and varieties, F1hybrids were crossed among themselves to obtain the multicomponent F2progeny. F2seedlings with winter hardiness, resistance to Puccinia horiana Henn. and early flowering were used in closely related crosses. The offspring of F3from closely related crosses were also assessed and selected according to adaptive and decorative characteristics. Inclusion in the selection process of various sources of winter hardiness and resistance to P. horiana allowed positive characteristics to be increased in F2and to be revealed in F3. Adaptive signs of the wild species Chrysanthemum naktongense Nakai, C. coreanum (H. Lév. et Vaniot) Nakai, C. zawadzkii var. tenuisectum Kitag., C. leiophyllum Nakai, and C. zawadzkii subsp. acutilobum (DC.) Kitag., which have formed and fixed during evolution, were inherited and manifested in offspring of the multicomponent hybrids and the closely related crosses. Promising interspecific forms with biological signs determining the possibility of growing in extreme conditions of the subregion were selected.

Bioinformatics Analysis of Quantitative PCR and Reverse Transcription PCR in Detecting HCV RNA
Authors: Liu Wei , Jiang Xiwen , Liu Yue , Ma Qingsong 
Published: July 2018

Objective:This research aimed to make comparisons of sensitivity and specificity between Quantitative real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (Q-PCR) and Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR) in detecting the ribonucleic acid (RNA) expression levels of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).Methods:121 patients suffering from hepatitis C and 98 healthy participants with normal liver functions were identified. The venous blood collections were carried out, were subjected to detect the expression levels of HCV RNA via Q-PCR and RT-PCR. And then, the data obtained from these above two detection methods were compared, including the sensitivity and specificity.Results:In terms of Q-PCR, the positive rate of HCV RNA was 72.16%, which was significantly higher when compared with 55.26% of RT-PCR. After statistical analysis, the difference between them was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Among the healthy participants, 4 cases were false positive by means of RT-PCR, there was the possibility of missed diagnosis when the samples were evaluated by Q-PCR.Conclusion:: The Q-PCR detection technology performed well in testing HCV, with pretty high sensitivity and specificity. Nevertheless, the false negative results obtained from Q-PCR could not be avoided. In clinical practice, these above two detection methods should be referred to, in order to avoid missed diagnosis.
Defind: Detecting Genomic Deletions by Integrating Read Depth, GC Content, Mapping Quality and Paired-end Mapping Signatures of Next Generation Sequencing Data
Authors: Wang Xin , Zhang Huan , Liu Xiaojing 
Published: July 2018

Background:
Accurate and exhaustive identification of genomic deletion events is the
basis for understanding their roles in phenotype variation. Developing effective algorithms to
identify deletions using next generation sequencing (NGS) data remains a challenge.

Objective:
The accurate and exhaustive identification of genomic deletion events is important; we
present a new approach, Defind, to detect deletions using NGS data from a single sample mapped
to the reference genome sequences.

Method:
The operating system(s) is Linux. Programming languages are Perl and R. We present
Defind, a new approach for detecting medium- and large-sized deletions, based on inspecting the
depth of coverage, GC content, mapping quality, and paired-end information of NGS data,
simultaneously. We carried out detailed comparisons between Defind and other deletion detection
methods using both simulation data and real data.

Results:
In simulation studies, Defind could retrieve more deletions than other methods at low to
medium sequencing coverage (e.g., 5 to 10×) with no false positives. Using real data, 94% of
deletions commonly detected by at least two other methods were also detected by Defind. In
addition, 90% of the deletions detected by Defind using the real data were positively supported by
comparative genomic hybridization results, demonstrating the efficiency of Defind.

Conclusion:
Defind performed robustly at different sequence coverage with different read length
in the simulation study. Our studies also provided a significant practical guidance to select
appropriate methods to detect genomic deletions using NGS data.

Authors: Tanner Johanna , Tolvanen Mimmi , Garoushi Sufyan , Säilynoja Eija 
Published: July 2018

Objectives:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of posterior composite restorations reinforced by bulk base of short-fiber composite (everX Posterior, GC Corporation).

Methods:
Thirty-six short fiber-reinforced composite restorations were placed in premolar and molar teeth of 33 patients. Eight of the teeth were vital and 28 were non-vital. Average follow up time of the restorations was 30.6 months (2.5 years), ranging from 16.2 to 51.3 months (1.3 - 4.3 years).

Results:
One restoration failed during the follow-up period due to secondary caries, at time point 39.5 months. Three fillings had minor fractures during the follow-up. The overall survival rate of the restorations was 97.2% and success rate (no maintenance needed) was 88.9%, respectively.

Conclusion:
Posterior composite restorations with a bulk base of short-fiber composite showed good clinical performance in the short term evaluation.
Peptide Vaccines: New Trends for Avoiding the Autoimmune Response
Authors: Rajčáni J. , Szathmary S. 
Published: July 2018

Background:
Several marketed antiviral vaccines (such as that against hepatitis virus A and/or B, influenza virus, human papillomavirus, yellow fever virus, measles, rubella and mumps viruses) may elicit various autoimmune reactions.

Results:
The cause of autoimmune response due to vaccination may be: 1. the adjuvant which is regularly added to the vaccine (especially in the case of various oil substrates), 2. the specific viral component itself (a protein or glycoprotein potentially possessing cross-reactive epitopes) and/or 3. contamination of the vaccine with traces of non-viral proteins mostly cellular in origin. Believing that peptide vaccines might represent an optimal solution for avoiding the above-mentioned problems, we discuss the principles of rational design of a typical peptide vaccine which should contain oligopeptides coming either from the selected structural virion components (i.e. capsid proteins and/or envelop glycoproteins or both) or from the virus-coded non-structural polypeptides. The latter should be equally immunogenic as the structural virus proteins. Describing the feasibility of identification and design of immunogenic epitopes, our paper also deals with possible problems of peptide vaccine manufacturing. The presented data are in part based on the experience of our own, in part, they are coming from the results published by others.

Conclusion:
Any peptide vaccine should be able to elicit relevant and specific antibody formation, as well as an efficient cell-mediated immune response. Consequently, the properly designed peptide vaccine is expected to consist of carefully selected viral peptides, which should stimulate the receptors of helper T/CD4 cells as well as of cytotoxic (T/CD8) lymphocytes.

Authors: Tolmane Ieva , Rozentale Baiba , Arutjunana Seda , Jeruma Agita , Kuse Velga , Simanis Raimonds 
Published: July 2018

Background:
Despite effective treatment available from 2016 in Latvia, there are restrictions - only patients with fibrosis (F, Metavir) stage 3 to 4 have access to reimbursed medicines. Some patients obtain generic drugs from India.

Objective:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of original and generic direct acting antiviral medications in Latvian patients.

Materials and Methods:
This is a retrospective study of 179 chronic virologic hepatitis C patients. Data were obtained from patients’ medical records. Mean age 49.2 years (SD 10.2, range 24-71), 88 female patients (49%), 91 male patients (51%). Genotype 1b was detected in 157 patients (87.7%). Patients were divided into two groups - patients who received original direct acting antivirals ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, dasabuvir + ribavirin (n=144, F3-4, Child-Pugh A) and those who received generic medicines from India (n=35, F0-2) sofosbuvir, ledipasvir (n=7) or sofosbuvir, daclatasvir + ribavirin (n=28). Undetectable viral load 12 weeks after cessation of therapy (sustained virologic response 12 or SVR12) was measured in all patients. Therapy course completed 142 patients from original medicines group and all patients from generics group.

Results:
In the original medicines group - sustained viralogic response was achieved in 142 patients who completed treatment course (100%), while in generic medicines group in 32 patients (91.4%).

Conclusion:
Study results show high efficacy of both regimens using original and generic medicines - sustained virologic response was achieved in more than 90% of patients, with slight superiority in original medicines group.
Diversity Climate and Job Crafting: The Role of Age.
Authors: Ingusci Emanuela 
Published: July 2018

Introduction:In recent years, scientific interest in generational differences has increased. More attention has been paid to the younger (Y generation) and to older workers (baby boom generation), little attention has been given to the X generation, composed of people who are between 35 and 50 years old. This paper aimed to examine the role of age in the relationship between diversity climate and job crafting, focusing on the middle aged (X generation).Objective and Methods:Based on lifespan development, self-regulation and job demands-resources theory, we postulated that the association between diversity climate and job crafting weakens with age. Specifically, we hypothesized that age can moderate the positive relationship between diversity climate and job crafting. The participants were 271 employees from different Italian organizations.Results:The results from hierarchical regression analysis showed that the relationship between diversity climate and job crafting is stronger in middle aged workers rather than in older workers.Conclusions:The findings suggest that diversity climate, in terms of organizational fairness, inclusion and personal diversity value can play a crucial role in the influence of job crafting which is, in turn, essential to improve positive organizational outcomes. Limitations and theoretical and operative implications are discussed.
What Causes Health Promotion Behaviors in College Students?
Authors: Kim Mi Young , Kim Yu Jeong 
Published: July 2018

Background:College students are exposed to an environment that places their health at risk. As a result, they are vulnerable to health-related problems. In order to improve health promotion behaviors, it is necessary to identify the variables affecting these behaviors. However, few studies have comprehensively examined health consciousness, health perception, and self-esteem as variables in health promotion behaviors among college students.Objective:The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing health promotion behaviors in college students.Method:Data were collected from 331 students, using a structured questionnaire based on the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (health promotion behaviors), Dutta-Bergman’s Health Consciousness Scale (health consciousness), the Health Perception Questionnaire (health perception), Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (self-esteem), and sociodemographic data. To assess the factors that influence health promotion behaviors, a multiple regression analysis was performed.Results:Health promotion behaviors were higher when health cognition was higher (r=.421,p<.001), health perception was higher (r=.326,p<.001), and self-esteem was higher (r=.526,p<.001). The constructed model for health promotion behaviors showed that the statistically significant explanatory variables were health cognition, health perception, and self-esteem. The model explained 34.9% of the variance in health promotion behaviors.Conclusion:It will be necessary to develop an intervention program targeting health cognition, health perception, and self-esteem in order to increase health promotion behaviors in college students.
Work Ability Index of Shift Working Hospital Nurses in Jordan
Authors: Heyam Dalky F. , Besher Gharaibeh , Nesreen Al-Khateeb 
Published: July 2018

Background:Despite the extensive literature on work ability, few studies have looked at variables associated with work ability of nurses working fixed versus rotating shifts.Objective:The study aims were to explore variables contributing to work ability and to examine the association of demographic, job satisfaction, and work shift to work ability.Method:A cross-sectional design was utilized to assess work ability level and job satisfaction among nurses working 8 or 12 hour rotating or fixed shifts in Jordanian hospitals. The data collection tools were the Work Ability Index and the Mueller/McCloskey Satisfaction Scale. Data were analyzed to determine the extent to which job satisfaction, shift work, and demographic variables were associated with work ability.Results:Work ability level was “moderate”, while job satisfaction level was “moderately dissatisfied”. A positive significant relationship was found between work ability and job satisfaction (r = 0.347, n = 349, p < 0.000). This relationship was higher for fixed-shift workers (r =.507) compared to rotating-shift workers (r = .299). Standard linear multiple regression analysis indicated that job satisfaction level predicted work ability level (β =.347, p = .000).Conclusion:The study confirmed that promoting job satisfaction leads to higher work ability, and thus, enhances the quality of care provided. The finding that job satisfaction is predictive of work ability has implications for training intervention.
