Wage inequality, labor income taxes, and the notion of social status
Authors: Bilancini Ennio , Boncinelli Leonardo 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The authors investigate the desirability of income taxes when the objective is to mitigate wasteful conspicuous consumption generated by people's status-seeking behavior. They consider the joint role of pre-tax wage inequality and of social norms determining how social status is assigned. They find that when social status is ordinal (i.e., only one's rank in the income distribution matters) inequality and taxation are substitutes. Instead, when status is cardinal (i.e., also the shape of the income distribution matters) inequality and taxation can be complements, although the relationship is in general non-monotonic. This is because the value of social status is endogenous, potentially giving rise to a perverse selfreinforcing mechanism where more waste in conspicuous consumption induces a greater competition for status and vice versa.
Testing a failure surface prediction and deposit reconstruction method for a landslide cluster that occurred during Typhoon Talas (Japan)
Authors: Jaboyedoff Michel , Chigira Masahiro , Arai Noriyuki , Derron Marc-Henri , Rudaz Benjamin , Tsou Ching-Ying 
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Reconstructions of failure surfaces (prior to
potential landslides or after their release), landslide deposits, or other
palaeotopographic features are important for hazard and erosion assessment.
The volumes involved in landslide and failure surfaces constrain the
propagation of a landslide, and knowledge of the past topography helps
us to understand these hazards. Some methods exist to characterise landslide geometry, but these methods
usually require monitoring information. This study tries to assess the
validity of the sloping local base level (SLBL) method for this purpose. Two
sets of airborne lidar digital elevation models (DEMs) of the Kii Peninsula
(Japan) are used: the first one was acquired before Typhoon Talas, and the
second one was acquired after. A total of 70 deep-seated landslides occurred
during this event between 2 and 5 September 2011. This study shows that the SLBL method is efficient using either the slope
deformations identifiable on the DEM before the release of the landslide or
a reliable 2.5-D failure surface created by using both DEMs (the 2.5-D
corresponds to a surface which has only one z value for each
x–y coordinate; in other words, no true vertical topography or overhang can be
represented perfectly). In addition, this method allows for the reconstruction
of eroded deposits and buried valleys. Most of the volumes estimated are
within ±35 % of the estimation made by Chigira et al. (2013), and
the coefficients of expansion range from 10 % to 25 %. These results show
considerable sensitivity to the parameters used for the reconstruction
of the landslide volume estimations and demonstrate the need for an
efficient and fast tool to reconstruct potential landslide geometries or
histories.
Atmospheric circulation changes and their impact on extreme sea levels around Australia
Authors: Colberg Frank , McInnes Kathleen L. , O'Grady Julian , Hoeke Ron 
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Projections of sea level rise (SLR) will lead to increasing coastal impacts
during extreme sea level events globally; however, there is significant
uncertainty around short-term coastal sea level variability and the attendant
frequency and severity of extreme sea level events. In this study, we
investigate drivers of coastal sea level variability (including extremes)
around Australia by means of historical conditions as well as future changes
under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario (RCP 8.5). To do this, a
multi-decade hindcast simulation is validated against tide gauge data. The
role of tide–surge interaction is assessed and found to have negligible
effects on storm surge characteristic heights over most of the coastline. For
future projections, 20-year-long simulations are carried out over the
time periods 1981–1999 and 2081–2099 using atmospheric forcing from four
CMIP5 climate models. Changes in extreme sea levels are apparent, but there
are large inter-model differences. On the southern mainland coast all models
simulated a southward movement of the subtropical ridge which led to a small
reduction in sea level extremes in the hydrodynamic simulations. Sea level
changes over the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north are largest and positive
during austral summer in two out of the four models. In these models, changes to
the northwest monsoon appear to be the cause of the sea level response. These
simulations highlight a sensitivity of this semi-enclosed gulf to changes in
large-scale dynamics in this region and indicate that further assessment of
the potential changes to the northwest monsoon in a larger multi-model
ensemble should be investigated, together with the northwest monsoon's effect on extreme sea levels.
Burckhardt among Basel, Berlin and Athens
Authors: Moerbeck Guilherme 
Published: May 2019

This article is divided in two parts: in the first one, the focus will be young Jacob Burckhardt’s environment, his studies in Berlin under the supervision of Leopold von Ranke and some of his theoretic concerns around the Cultural History. The second part is to better understand how and why Burckhardt incorporated some of the main discussions of political theory from his own time, especially those of A. Tocqueville, J. Stuart Mill and Edmund Burke. We also aim to comprehend how the Swiss historian fashioned what I’m calling here: “the game of the mirror – from modernity to Ancient History”, i.e., the author’s reading of the Ancient World with a sort of disenchantment which came along with the process of modernization of Europe in the XIX’s.
Coutos e Exílios em Portugal e Brasil
Authors: Pieroni Geraldo Magela 
Published: May 2019

Degredar criminosos para locais distantes do âmbito de sua convivência comunitária consistia em uma prática jurídica amplamente utilizada desde a Antiguidade. A história do degredo em Portugal remonta à criação de lugares específicos nos quais os criminosos eram enviados: os Coutos de Homizios e Honras. O degredo em Portugal tomou novos rumos com a expansão colonizadora além-mar. Entre os portugueses que pisaram pela primeira vez em território inimigo conquistado ou em alguma região antes desconhecida, havia sempre lugar reservado aos deportados. As Ordenações Filipinas, 1603, explícita que as terras do Brasil sejam lugares de degredo. Durante todo o período colonial, os desterrados continuaram a chegar no território brasileiro. Eles foram muitos, no entanto, neste artigo, tratarei principalmente do ilustre degredado português cujo nome era D. Francisco Manuel de Melo.

“Horror More Horrible From Being Vague, and Terror More Terrible From Ambiguity”
Authors: Conner Staci Poston 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Edgar Allan Poe famously depicts the emergence of confined bodies in excessive or grotesque ways, as both living and dead bodies physically come out of graves, walls, and other forms of entombment in a variety of his tales. These failed confinements that do not successfully contain the entombed continue in later Gothic literature. Poe's “Berenice” (1835) and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's “The Giant Wistaria” (1891) both depict buried bodies reemerging from graves. In these works, the line between dead and alive becomes skewed as the grave, the appropriate space for a dead body, is occupied by something still living or otherwise unsettled. Manipulating the Gothic trope of confinement, Poe and Gilman place undead characters in liminal spaces where they exist between two clear, defined states. In these confined spaces, characters hover between sanity and insanity, reality and fantasy, childhood innocence and adulthood sexuality, or life and death while attempting to navigate their own changing identities. Examining the liminal nature of characters in these two works provides a framework for better understanding how ambiguity and uncertainty serve a crucial role in the Gothic genre. Additionally, exploring connections between these two authors contributes to understandings of Poe's and Gilman's relationship and connections between their Gothic works.
2019/3 It was not sexual orientation discrimination for a baker to refuse to provide a cake with a slogan supporting gay marriage (UK)

2019/3 It was not sexual orientation discrimination for a baker to refuse to provide a cake with a slogan supporting gay marriage (UK)
The Supreme Court has ruled that a baker’s refusal to provide a cake with a slogan supporting gay marriage was not sexual orientation discrimination, nor discrimination on grounds of political belief. The Northern Ireland bakery was owned by Christians who had religious objections to gay marriage (they thought Christian doctrine holds that marriage can only take place between a man and a woman). Gay marriage is not legal in Northern Ireland, although it is in the rest of the United Kingdom. Gay couples can enter into a ‘civil partnership’ in Northern Ireland, which formalises the relationship and provides it with legal recognition in a similar way to marriage.

Dermoscopy Use in Primary Care: A Scoping Review
Authors: Fee Jonathan A. , McGrady Finbar P. , Rosendahl Cliff , Hart Nigel D. 
Published: May 2019

Background: Patients in many countries with new or changing skin lesions will first consult a primary care physician, often called a general practitioner (GP). With the dramatic rise in melanoma incidence over recent decades, dermoscopy offers a tool with an evidence base supporting its use in skin lesion assessment. How GPs use dermoscopy is unclear.
Objectives: A scoping literature review was carried out to examine the current state of published evidence about dermoscopy use in primary care.
Methods: The methodological steps taken in this review followed those developed by Arksey and O’Malley, as revised by Levac and colleagues. Four electronic databases were searched for evidence published up to January 2018 describing the use of dermoscopy in a generalist primary care setting. Seven articles were identified for analysis.
Results: All included articles have been published since 2007. Most were questionnaire studies and revealed that generally a small minority of GPs use dermoscopy, although some jurisdictions such as Australia report greater use. Dermoscopy is generally used only for the assessment of pigmented skin lesions, but is not used consistently. Several perceived barriers to dermoscopy use, including the need for training, have been reported.
Conclusions: There is a paucity of data on dermoscopy use among GPs, and diversity in questionnaire items prevents comparison between jurisdictions. Perceived barriers to dermoscopy use require more in-depth exploration, potentially including qualitative data, to evaluate them more fully. Understanding these factors, including how GPs train in dermoscopy, will be crucial in widening dermoscopy use in primary care.
Dermoscopy in the Diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Authors: Serarslan Gamze , Ekiz Özlem , Özer Cahit , Sarıkaya Gökhan 
Published: May 2019

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a protozoan infectious disease. Dermoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that has been applied to several skin diseases, including infestations.
Objectives: To determine the dermoscopic patterns of CL lesions and to investigate whether a relationship exists between dermoscopic characteristics and the disease duration, localization, and type of CL lesions.
Methods: Seventy-nine patients (48 male, 31 female) from Hatay, Turkey, were enrolled in the study and a dermoscopic evaluation was performed on 139 lesions. Images of CL lesions were taken via polarized light contact dermoscopy. Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used for statistical analyses and P values <0.05 were considered significant.
Results: Generalized erythema was seen in all CL lesions. Vascular structures (94.2%), yellow tears (75.5%), and a white starburst-like pattern (58.3%) were the other most common dermoscopic features. Hyperkeratosis (P = 0.001) and white starburst-like pattern (P < 0.001) were more prevalent in the extremities than elsewhere. Among vascular structures, linear irregular (45.8%), hairpin (43.5%), and comma-shaped (25.9%) patterns were the most common dermoscopic findings. Linear irregular (P = 0.023) and arborizing vessels (P = 0.001) were observed in the head-neck region. Dotted (P = 0.009), hairpin (P < 0.001), and glomerular-like (P = 0.016) morphological findings were more prevalent in the extremities. Statistical significances in disease duration were detected in microarborizing (P = 0.027) and arborizing (P = 0.004) vessels and were most prevalent with a disease duration of >6 months. Hairpin vessels were prevalent in the plaque and nodulo-ulcerative type of lesions. Dotted vessels were most commonly seen in the plaque type (47.4%) of lesions.
Conclusions: Generalized erythema, yellow tears, and starburst-like patterns, as well as linear irregular, hairpin, comma-shaped, and arborizing vessels, were the most commonly detected dermoscopic features of CL lesions. We suggest that the presence of these features can be helpful when diagnosing CL lesions by dermoscopy.
Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid-Associated Malignancies. Case Series and a Brief Overview of the Literature
Authors: La Placa Michelangelo , Balestri Riccardo , Tartari Federico , Sechi Andrea , Ferrara Francesca , Loi Camilla , Patrizi Annalisa , Bardazzi Federico 
Published: May 2019

Background: Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a heterogeneous group of blistering disorders affecting the mucosae with or without skin involvement, characterized by the presence of autoantibodies to components of the basement membrane zone, including the bullous pemphigoid antigen BP180 and β4 integrin. Current literature has shown that a minority of patients present circulating antibodies to laminin-332 and this population seems to be associated with a relatively high risk of malignancy.
Objective: To present our personal case series of patients with MMP-associated malignancy from a dermatology university hospital.
Methods: Twenty-two patients affected by MMP were seen in the period between 2001 and 2016; in 4 patients (18%) an associated cancer was detected.
Results: These patients were 2 men and 2 women, with a mean age of 69.7 years (range, 48-83). The associated malignancies included a breast cancer, a pancreatic adenocarcinoma, a metastatic laryngeal carcinoma, and a hepatic carcinoma. All patients had negative results for both BP180 and laminin-332 autoantibodies.
Conclusion: We confirm that MMP patients have a relatively high possibility of developing a solid cancer, but the autoantibody detection is not mandatory and is probably correlated with the severity of the disease.
Total Body Skin Examination Practices: A Survey Study Amongst Dermatologists at High-Risk Skin Cancer Clinics
Authors: Bajaj Shirin , Wolner Zachary J. , Dusza Stephen W. , Braun Ralph P. , Marghoob Ashfaq A. , DeFazio Jennifer 
Published: May 2019

Background/Objectives: Although total body skin examination (TBSE) is the primary screening mechanism for melanoma, there is no consensus on which anatomic sites a screening TBSE should include. We sought to establish which anatomic sites are examined during routine (>90%) TBSEs of patients at high risk for skin cancer.
Methods: A Google survey was emailed to 173 international dermatologist skin cancer specialists.
Results: More than 75% of participants reported routinely examining the scalp, ears, face and neck, trunk, breasts, inframammary areas, axillae, extremities, palms and soles, nails, interdigital spaces, and buttocks. The least frequently inspected anatomic sites included genitalia, with male genitalia more frequently examined than female (penis n = 39; 52%; labia majora n = 21; 28%; P = 0.003), the perianal region (n = 26; 34.7%), and the ocular conjunctiva and oral mucosa (n = 35; 46.7%). Participants cited not screening these areas because of perceived patient discomfort, low prevalence of malignancy, and the expectation that other specialists examine the area.
Conclusions: The role of routine surveillance of neglected anatomic sites is unclear and warrants further discussion weighing potential mortality benefit against the incidence of melanoma in obscure sites, morbidity of intervention in sensitive sites, cost-effectiveness, and potential for patient discomfort.
ROMPRE AVEC LA RUPTURE
Authors: Bélanger David 
Published: May 2019

Cet article prend appui sur la distinction entre, d’un côté, « l’historiographie moderne » conçue de façon institutionnelle et érigée sur la rupture entre le présent et le passé, et de l’autre côté, le temps organique continu, manière de vivre le passé dans le présent. Dans la littérature québécoise contemporaine, notamment dans les oeuvres d’Éric Dupont (La logeuse) et de Raymond Bock (Atavismes), cette distinction s’observe. L’hypothèse poursuivie ici soutient que la littérature s’oppose à une histoire présentée dans son artificialité ; pour ce faire, la littérature se propose comme incarnation du temps et refus des institutions qui régissent les ruptures. Ce phénomène est observé en deux temps : une véritable idéologie de dénonciation de l’histoire (et plus précisément de l’histoire nationale), chez Dupont, et un regret de la perte de cette histoire, une tentative désespérée de s’y inscrire de nouveau, chez Bock et Catherine Mavrikakis.
La densité des seringues à la traîne à Montréal : l’influence des caractéristiques de l’environnement urbain
Authors: Lesage-Mann1,2 Élaine , Apparicio Philippe 
Published: May 2019

Depuis les années 1980, plusieurs études ont été menées sur les seringues à la traîne avec deux objectifs principaux : évaluer les différents programmes de gestion des seringues ou déterminer les conditions favorisant leur utilisation par les consommateurs de drogue par injection. De plus, la grande majorité de ces études sont qualitatives et n’abordent pas la distribution spatiale des seringues à la traîne. Pourtant, une meilleure compréhension de la géographie des seringues à la traîne est fort pertinente afin d’optimiser certains programmes, comme la localisation des boîtes de dépôt public. Cet article repose sur l’analyse de 13 560 seringues à la traîne collectées de 2009 à 2014 dans le quartier montréalais Centre-Sud. Plusieurs modèles de régression Tobit ont été réalisés avec comme variable dépendante la densité des seringues à la traîne dans un rayon de 100 mètres et comme variables indépendantes des indicateurs relatifs à l’environnement urbain, tels que la proximité des programmes collectant de seringues, des postes de police ou des stations de métro, ainsi que le type de rue ou la présence de parcs. Les résultats montrent que les variables les plus significatives sont les ruelles ainsi que la proximité des boîtes de dépôt public.
