A Survey of Current Anesthesia Trends for Electrophysiology Procedures
Authors: Nelson Eric W. , Woltz Erick M. , Wolf Bethany J. , Gold Michael R. 
Published: April 2018

BACKGROUND:
There has been a dramatic shift in recent years in anesthesia coverage for electrophysiology (EP) procedures. An anesthesiologist and electrophysiologist at our institution jointly developed a survey, which was distributed to the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists and the Heart Rhythm Society. Its goal was to document current practice patterns and examine perceived variability in coverage.

METHODS:
On approval of the leadership from the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists and the Heart Rhythm Society, an online survey was administered to the membership. The survey included demographic data, anesthetic type, and perceptions of the respondents.

RESULTS:
Four hundred seventy-nine surveys were completed. Thirty-eight percent were completed by electrophysiologists and 63% by anesthesiologists, giving a response rate of 8.24% for anesthesiologists and 13.6% for electrophysiologists. Of these, 57% of respondents worked in an academic setting. Over the past 2 years, 66.5% of respondents reported anesthesia involvement in EP cases increasing. These cases are reportedly covered by all anesthesiologists in a group 55% of the time, cardiac anesthesia 32.5%, and a designated team at the remainder of the institutions. Seventy-six percent of respondents reported having designated EP block time in the schedule. Ninety-two percent of respondents reported that patient satisfaction has increased with the involvement of anesthesia services.

CONCLUSIONS:
Anesthesia coverage for EP procedures has continued to increase with an increase in patient satisfaction. Anesthesiologists have had to adapt and provide designated block time to accommodate this increase and also, in some instances, form teams that go beyond simply cardiac anesthesiologists to care for these patients during their procedures.

BACKGROUND:Pediatric perioperative cardiac arrest (CA) is a rare but catastrophic event. This case–control study aims to analyze the causes, incidence, and outcomes of all pediatric CA reported to Wake Up Safe. Factors associated with CA and mortality after arrest are examined and possible strategies for improving outcomes are considered.METHODS:CA in children was identified from the Wake Up Safe Pediatric Anesthesia Quality Improvement Initiative, a multicenter registry of adverse events in pediatric anesthesia. Incidence, demographics, underlying conditions, causes of CA, and outcomes were extracted. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to study the above factors associated with CA and mortality after CA.RESULTS:A total of 531 cases of CA occurred during 1,006,685 anesthetics. CA was associated with age (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] comparing ≥6 vs <6 months of 0.26 [0.22–0.32];P= .014), American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA PS III–V versus I–II, 9.24, 7.23–11.8;P< .001), and emergency status (3.55, 2.88–4.37;P< .001). Higher ASA PS was associated with increased mortality (ASA PS III–V versus I–II, 3.25, 1.20–8.81;P= .02) but anesthesia-related arrests were correlated with lower mortality (0.44, 0.26–0.74;P= .002). ASA emergency status (1.83, 1.05–3.19;P= .03) and off hours (night and weekend versus weekday, 2.17, 1.22–3.86;P= .008) were other factors associated with mortality after CA.CONCLUSIONS:The Wake Up Safe data validate single-institution studies’ findings regarding incidence, factors associated with arrest, and outcomes of pediatric perioperative CA. However, CA occurring during the off hours had significantly worse outcomes, independent of patient physical status or emergency surgery. This suggests an opportunity for improved outcomes.
“Postal” Discontents

How to produce meaningful knowledge about ourselves in India? I got interested in this problem over twenty years back. This paper is an account of that experience. The issue of what constitutes valid knowledge about India, The problem is that an official critique of the dominant, such as post-modernism embodies, carries with it many of the oppressive vestiges of what it seeks to overturn. A genuine alternative might emerge for us in India only by fracturing the authority of this overriding Euro-American discourse itself. But if one departs from the dominant discourse, one’s position is generally not accepted as acceptable knowledge. This, then, remains our conundrum: if you say it their way you are co-opted; if you say it differently, it is not considered knowledge. A situated re-examination of this discursive tangle exposes the continuing challenges inherent in producing meaningful knowledge even in our present context. This is as it should be because the central crisis at the heart of modernity itself is, arguably, the crisis of knowledge. Therefore, we must re-articulate our personal and civilisational aspirations in alternate languages, even if these are not at once accorded recognition or legitimacy.

Translator between idiolects. A few comments on dilemmas accompanying the translation of languages of opera’s characters
The article is a case study. It presents selected aspects of translation process of libretto written by Bulgarian contemporary writer Georgi Gospodinov for opera composed by young Polish composer, Aleksander Nowak. The main purpose of the article is to show dilemmas accompanying the translation of a specific text that in fact consists only of characters’ idiolects. The text shows withal that there can be no difference between character’s and author’s idiolect. Within a broader perspective the article unveils entanglement of libretto translator between two authors – writer of the libretto and the composer – each of them with their own vision of characters. Moreover, the visions can be significantly different, as they were communicating using a third language – English.
A Política do casamento: adultério, família e paternidade em Camilo Castelo Branco
Authors: Frier David G. 
Published: April 2018

MARTIAL POLITICS: ADULTERY, FAMILY STRUCTURES AND PATERNITY IN CAMILO CASTELO BRANCO
This article discusses a number of texts written by Camilo in the early 1870s in response to the prosecution and conviction of his friend Vieira de Castro for the murder of his adulterous wife, and in the wake of the controversial book by Alexandre Dumas Fils, L’homme‑femme, of 1872, which sought to justify such actions. These texts demonstrate inconsistencies between a very modern, emancipatory stance adopted in the leaflet A Espada de Alexandre and the more patriarchal tone of Camilo’s fictional works written during the same period. This paper seeks to attribute these contradictions to an unresolved preoccupation on Camilo’s part with the authority traditionally assigned to the male in matters of sexuality and marital convention, even though a closer examination of the texts provides ample evidence for regarding these very same attitudes as outdated.

CADERNOS NEGROS – AFRO‑BRAZILIAN VOICES ON THE MARGINS OF LITERATURE
The article presents the literary series Cadernos Negros dedicated to Afro‑Brazilian literature. It sums up briefly its creation and development since 1978 until today, as well as the main themes treated by its authors and its importance in the process of consolidation of negro literature and affirmation of negro identity in Brazil, putting the topic in the ample context of racial relations, marginalization of Afro‑Brazilian cultural production (with emphasis on literature), and the struggle for egalitarian integration of this group in the Brazilian society and culture.
Substituição do gerúndio pela construção a + infinitivo no Português Europeu (estudo diacrónico)
Authors: Hricsina Jan 
Published: April 2018

SUBSTITUTION OF THE GERUND FOR THE CONSTRUCION A + INFINITIVE IN EUROPEAN PORTUGUESE (DIACHRONIC STUDY)
The article aims to specify the period in which the gerund in Portuguese has given way to a + infinitive construction in syntactic positions in which the infinitive predominates also in the contemporary European Portuguese (periphrastic formations estar a + infinitive, ficar a + infinitive, continuar a + infinitive and andar a + infinitive, in semi‑predicative clauses). In this analysis the electronic corpus (www.corpusdoportugues.org) was used. The analysis shows that the period sought must be located in the 19th century (or slightly before), when the infinitive construction starts to appear with greater frequency than in previous centuries.

THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE IN THE TRANSLATIONS OF THE EMPEROR DOM PEDRO II
In this communication I plan to analyze the relationship between the Portuguese language and the foreign languages in the Emperor of Brazil’s translations. This is one of the projects developed by NUPROC of UFSC. The process documents are made up of manuscripts of translations from various languages made by the Emperor, letters exchanged throughout his life with many European and American intellectuals and pages of his diaries that provide relevant information about his intellectual activity, not only translation. Although many biographies bring the information of this activity in his life, any research group to date had been working on a thorough analysis of his manuscripts, that are now at the Historical Archive in the Petrópolis Museum. This research has been supported by CNPq and has received prominence in the Brazilian national press.
Spatial Resource Allocation for Emerging Epidemics: A Comparison of Greedy, Myopic, and Dynamic Policies
Authors: Long Elisa F. , Nohdurft Eike , Spinler Stefan 
Published: April 2018

Rapidly evolving infectious disease epidemics, such as the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak, pose significant health threats and present challenges to the global health community because of their heterogeneous geographic spread. Policy makers must allocate limited intervention resources quickly, in anticipation of where the outbreak is moving next. We develop a two-stage model for optimizing when and where to assign Ebola treatment units across geographic regions during the outbreak’s early phases. The first stage employs a novel dynamic transmission model to forecast the occurrence of new cases at the region level, capturing connectivity among regions. We introduce an empirically estimated coefficient for behavioral adaptation to changing epidemic conditions. The second stage compares four approaches to allocate units across affected regions: (i) a heuristic based on observed cases, (ii) a greedy policy that prioritizes regions based on the reproductive number, (iii) a myopic linear program that allocates resources in the next period based on an iterative estimation–optimization approach coupled with the underlying epidemic model, and (iv) an approximate dynamic programming algorithm that optimizes over all future periods. After testing the allocation schemes under different budgets and time periods, we find that the myopic policy performs best, even when limited data are available. Our methodology could be generalized to other disease outbreaks, including the Zika virus, and other interventions. The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/msom.2017.0681 .

Protected Agriculture in Extreme Environments: A Review of Controlled Environment Agriculture in Tropical, Arid, Polar, and Urban Locations
Authors: McCartney Lucas , Lefsrud Mark 
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Many methods of protected agriculture are used to modify the growing environment of plants. Ideally, plant production would take place in regions that do not require protective structures, regions that present ideal temperatures, no harsh extremes, and sufficient but not excess precipitation. This is not the case however, as most countries, save for a select few, require various forms of controlled environment agriculture to protect crops against climatic and environmental extremes. Although the greenhouse industry has developed vast amounts of technology for the temperate climate regions of our planet, much remains to be improved in terms of protected agriculture in the more extreme climates. Tropical, arid, polar and urban locations offer contrasting environments that present various challenges for plant growth. Some challenges are specific to each location, while others are common across them. Tropical and arid climates offer high solar radiation, but present harsh temperature and relative humidity conditions. Most protected agriculture structures are relatively open in nature to ventilate and discharge heat, but are susceptible to pests and diseases. On the other hand, polar climates and urban environments often lack solar radiation and require a high level of control of the air quality. The structures used in these environments are relatively enclosed to entrap heat (polar) and to make efficient use of space. The sustainability of available technologies and energy efficiency are important themes present in all discussed climates and environments. Protected agriculture technologies offer solutions to growers in locations with extreme climates wishing to produce high yields of high quality crop, and this article presents a review of the existing challenges and of the advancements made in this field. Keywords: Arid climate greenhouse, Evaporative cooling, Natural ventilation, Protected agriculture, Tropical climate greenhouse, Urban agriculture, Vertical farming.
A questioning situation: Patricio Guzmán’s cine-essayistic explorations of fragile planetary configurations
Authors: Hollweg Brenda 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
This chapter provides a close reading of Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán’s cine-essay The Pearl Button (El botón de nácar) (2015). Through the use of figurative language, alignment and speculative narratives Guzmán creates a ‘multi-directional’ picture of Chile’s Tierra del Fuego, its indigenous population and violent history over the last three centuries. With his choice of the essay as cinematic form he seeks to hold together, in Isabelle Stengers’ sense, questions that are complex and multifaceted; questions that are of archaeological, humanitarian or ethical concern and that require the input of many human and non-human voices and forces. In her booklength essay, In Catastrophic Times (2015), the Belgian philosopher encourages the sciences to approach a matter of common concern, such as anthropocenic change, via an ecology of practices. I see such ecological thinking in practice in Guzmán’s cine-essayistic work, in which human-centred events acquire a larger cosmological dimension to the extent that abstract philosophical questions remain worldly, that is committed to the material and embodied realities of the earthbound.
The serial portrait and coeval time on the cable car up Manakamana mountain
Authors: Tarrant Patrick 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
This article argues that by framing Manakamana (Spray and Velez, 2013) as a serial portrait, we illuminate the ways that the film situates its Nepalese cable car riders, its American filmmakers and its largely western spectators in an emergent and shared time, and that the sequencing of human subjects that is central to this serial portrait posits an alternative to that once ubiquitous tendency to cast non-western subjects into a time that is past. In 1983’s Time And The Other, Johannes Fabian decried the discursive and ideological effects of denying ethnographic subjects their coevalness, but in Manakamana’s formal experimentation and its strategic deployment of cinematic homologies and spiritual allegories, a reflexivity emerges to reframe the way representations of people can be organized in time.
Varda’s recycling of life in Les plages d’Agnès: Self-representational metacinema as a discourse on creatorship
Authors: Chinita Fátima 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Stemming from the concept of ‘enunciation’, here posited as an act of expression, self-depiction and reasoning, this article addresses the category of the ‘self-representational metacinema’, which is a self-reflexive variety of essay film as authorial discourse, and analyses the way in which Agnès Varda’s The Beaches of Agnès (2008) is an opus about the world and thought processes of an artist as the artist is immersed in the world (of cinema). Firstly, by presenting herself, in her own body, as ‘Agnès Varda’, the director writes her identity into the film, as a first layer of filmic enunciation placed midway between reality and illusion, thus ambiguating herself as an objective person, on the one hand, and reinforcing her nature as a subjective creator (i.e. endowed with a specifically cinematic worldvision), on the other. The representation of the filmic artist at work (as ars poetica) embraces the self-portrait as a fully fledged art cinema aesthetic category. Secondly, by rethinking the world through (her) cinema, Varda adopts a phenomenological position in which the digressive nature of her cinematic writing is conveyed as a corporeal experience of being in the world, according to Vivian Sobchak with Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Varda not only interacts with the world around her but also inscribes herself in the essay film as both representation and expression, that is, matter and thought. Thirdly, the reality and illusion dichotomy, which pervades the entire film, is particularly intense in the third and final layer of enunciation, which involves mnemonic rewinding. The division of Varda’s life in several coexisting stages from which the director can extract particular memories reconciles Gilles Deleuze’s chronosigns, which imply a non-chronological time structure, with a more traditional Augustinian time as an arrow, a conception of a threefold present, and immortality beyond that. Ultimately, The Beaches of Agnes is a discourse on the power of the image and creation.

Abstract

Mus booduga (Gray 1837) is a mesic rodent, recorded for the first time from the cold arid region of Leh-Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The species was collected from crop fields and nearby areas from different altitudes ranging from 3187 to 3768 m above mean sea level. The paper describes the external measurements and diagnostic features of M. booduga collected from Leh-Ladakh region. Earlier records had shown its altitudinal distribution from 250 to 3695 m above mean sea level from Uttarakhand in the Himalayan region, however in the present study the mouse was collected up to an altitude of 3768 m which is the highest elevational record of this species for the Himalayan range.
A prototype of a flexible grid electrode to treat widespread superficial tumors by means of Electrochemotherapy
Authors: Campana Luca G. , Dughiero Fabrizio , Forzan Michele , Rossi Carlo R. , Sieni Elisabetta 
Published: April 2018

Abstract

Background
In recent years, superficial chest wall recurrence from breast cancer can be effectively treated by means of electrochemotherapy, with the majority of patients achieving response to treatment. Nevertheless, tumor spread along superficial lymphatic vessels makes this peculiar type of tumor recurrence prone to involve large skin areas and difficult to treat. In these cases, electroporation with standard, small size needle electrodes can be time-consuming and produce an inhomogeneous coverage of the target area, ultimately resulting in patient under treatment.

Materials and methods
Authors designed and developed a prototype of a flexible grid electrode aimed at the treatment of large skin surfaces and manufactured a connection box to link the pulse applicator to a voltage pulse generator. Laboratory tests on potato tissue were performed in order to evaluate the electroporation effect, which was evaluated by observing color change of treated tissue.

Results
A device has been designed in order to treat chest wall recurrences from breast cancer. According to preliminary tests, the new flexible support of the electrode allows the adaptability to the surface to be treated. Moreover, the designed devices can be useful to treat a larger surface in 2–5 minutes.

Conclusions
Authors developed the prototype of a new pulse applicator aimed at the treatment of widespread superficial tumors. This flexible grid needle electrode was successfully tested on potato tissue and produced an electroporation effect. From a clinical point of view, the development of this device may shorten electrochemotherapy procedure thus allowing clinicians to administer electric pulses at the time of maximum tumor exposure to drugs. Moreover, since the treatment time is 2–5 min long, it could also reduce the time of anesthesia, thus improving patient recovery.
