Abstract. Transport of riverine dissolved carbon (including DOC and DIC) is a crucial
process linking terrestrial and aquatic C reservoirs, but has rarely been
examined in subtropical small mountainous rivers (SMRs). This study monitored
DOC and DIC concentrations on a biweekly basis during non-event flow periods
and at 3 h intervals during two typhoon events in three SMRs in southwestern
Taiwan between January 2014 and August 2016. Two models, HBV (the
Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning model) and a three-endmember
mixing model, were applied to determine the quantities of DOC and DIC
transport from different flow paths. The results show that the annual DOC and
DIC fluxes were 2.7–4.8 and 48.4–54.3 t C km−2 yr−1,
respectively, which were approx. 2 and 20 times higher
than the global mean of 1.4 and 2.6 t C km−2 yr−1,
respectively. The DIC ∕ DOC ratio was 14.08, which is much higher than
the mean of large rivers worldwide (1.86), and indicates the high rates of
chemical weathering in this region. The two typhoons contributed
12 %–14 % of the annual streamflow in only 3 days (about 1.0 %
of the annual time), whereas 15.0 %–23.5 % and 9.2 %–12.6 %
of the annual DOC and DIC flux, respectively, suggested that typhoons play a
more important role in DOC transport than DIC transport. The endmember mixing
model suggested that DOC and DIC export was mainly from surface runoff and
deep groundwater, respectively. The unique patterns seen in Taiwan SMRs
characterized by high dissolved carbon flux, high DIC ∕ DOC ratio, and
large transport by intense storms should be taken into consideration when
estimating global carbon budgets.
The Black Tent (1956) and Bengazi (1955): The Image of Arabs in Two post-Empire Journeys into the Deserts of Libya
Authors: Voeltz Richard Andrew 
Published: December 2018

These two little known films are both part of the cycle of post-imperial films dealing with the decline of the British Empire. They are perhaps the only films set in or near the historical period of the British Military Administration of Libya after 1945. The Black Tent frequently gets lumped in with the genre of World War II British war films. Bengazi marks the cinematic journey of the actor Victor McLaglen from The Lost Patrol (1934) to Bengazi (1955), his career encapsulating the beginning and end of the Hollywood British Empire film genre. Both films contain redemptive dramatic journeys into the deserts of Libya involving the loss of British imperial male power. The case studies of The Black Tent and Bengazi show the beginnings of new post-empire film genres and new mentalities toward the Arab “Other” that partially promotes a decolonization of western cinema.
Halit Refig's I Lost My Heart to a Turk: Woman, Islam and Modernity in Turkish Cinema
Authors: Akser Murat 
Published: December 2018

Defined by some critics as the ultimate national cinema movement piece, Halit Refiğ’s I Lost My Heart to a Turk(1969), the love story of a German woman and a Turkish worker in the ancient town of Kayseri becomes an allegory for the Turkish nation’s identity crisis. This paper identifies the parameters used by Refiğ to position the Turkish identity in his film and emphasize the special role of women in Turkish modernization.
An EcoFeminist Perspective on Sylvia Plath and Zhai Yongming
Authors: Zhang Xiaohong 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This article is particularly concerned with the interrelation between experience and expression, womanhood and creativity. It examines the extent to which Sylvia Plath's and Zhai Yongming's writings are informed by political, social, economic, and environmental changes in a cross-cultural context. In so doing, it reveals a somewhat hidden ecofeminist awareness shared by the two poets in a cross-cultural context, which facilitates authorial reflections on the intricate relationship between womanhood, nature, and urbanization. Gendered images and symbols, as well as physical and spiritual scars experienced by womanhood, are emphatically addressed to showcase Plath and Zhai's ecologically informed confessional poetics.
Animal Narrative and the Dis-eventalization of Politics: An Ecological-Cultural Approach to Mo Yan's Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out
Authors: He Chengzhou 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Slavoj Žižek argues that every event is likely to be dis-eventalized, to be retroactively undone. The true event, according to Badiou's account, is “a contingency which converts into necessity,” generating a new principle or paradigm that becomes universally acknowledged. Such true events are rare, but the undoing of past events has always played a predominant role in the course of history. In the novel Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out written by Mo Yan, China's Nobel Prize Laureate, political events such as the Agricultural Cooperative Movement, the People's Commune Movement, and the Cultural Revolution among others are retroactively undone mainly through the means of animal narrative. In the process, animal narratives also reveal ecological thinking about the harmony among humans, animals, and nature. More importantly, the dis-eventalization of politics and the eventalization of ecological consciousness coexist and complement each other. This dual narrative structure is not only characteristic of the animal narrative of the novel, but also endows it with plot tension and a depth in thought.
Semiotics of Disaster: Writing in the Aftermath of Japan's 3/11
Authors: Lee Tong King 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Hideo Furukawa's Horses, Horses, in the End the Light Remains Pure is among the first literary responses to Fukushima's 3/11 triple disaster—Japan's worst catastrophe in decades. This article reflects on the formal characteristics of disaster writing by analyzing Furukawa's work with respect to its genre, temporal–spatial structure, and rhetorical style. It argues that the work's generic ambiguity, nonlinear narrative structure, and fractured, minimalist prose are paradoxically resonant with the gravity of the crisis that gave rise to the writing. The article also highlights the metatextuality of Horses, which is as much about writing disaster as it is about writing about writing disaster, and argues that this metatextuality affords Horses a self-reflexiveness that distinguishes it as a unique piece of ecocritical literature.
The Marriage of Hysteria and Feminism in John Steinbeck'sThe Chrysanthemums: Elisa Allen as a Married but Virgin Feminist Homosexual Hysteric
Authors: Kohzadi Hamedreza 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThrough a detailed analysis of John Steinbeck's “The Chrysanthemums,” this article aims to open a new chapter in Freudian hysterical criticism of Steinbeck's works. “The Chrysanthemums” is unquestionably the literary version of Freudian views and observations of hysteria and hysterical patients, especially “Dora”—Freud's famous hysterical patient and “Anna O.”—Breuer's famous hysterical patient. This masterpiece of hysteria is an extremely complex and roundabout story in which Steinbeck artistically plays with symbols, colors, flora and fauna, protagonist's body language, clothing, pruning tools, and so forth, to represent how the social and emotional life of a hysterical woman in a patriarchal, procreation-orientated society is so horribly affected by hysteria and neurotic anxiety. The protagonist, Elisa Allen, is characterized by Steinbeck as being the severest case of hysteria. In the main, she is portrayed as a bisexual hysterical woman of perverse “infantile sexuality,” afflicted with persistent “masculinity complex” and constant “virginal anxiety,” two main factors that finally push her toward oral eroticism and lesbianism.
How Would We Know If Moral Enhancement Had Occurred?
Authors: Young Garry 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTThe aim of this essay is to question the coherence of debates on moral enhancement by neurophysical or pharmaceutical means in the absence of a cogent conception of the object of moral scrutiny: namely, moral enhancement. I present two conceptions of moral enhancement—weak and strong—and argue that given the problem of acquiring a standard measure of moral enhancement, regardless of whether enhancement is present in its weak or strong form and regardless of whether one endorses moral realism or different forms of antirealism, presenting a cogent conception of moral enhancement is fraught with difficulty. This fact has serious implications for continuing debates on the morality of moral enhancement, insofar as it limits the extent to which we have, or it is possible to have, an agreed conception of moral enhancement that could (in principle) be empirically verified and count as an object for moral scrutiny.
Greatness at a Distance: A Commemorative Survey of the Work of John Steinbeck
Authors: Pugh Scott 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThe panorama of John Steinbeck's work, viewed now from the distance of half a century after his death, brings new perspectives into play. Fifty years on from Steinbeck's death, looking back on the range of his great achievement and his even greater range of productive experimental endeavor, we honor him best by collaborative engagement with his material and by forthright critique. Steinbeck died in 1968, just six years after receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature, but looking back across that great divide of social upheaval that followed, his readers will find much more than historical reflection, as important as that is.

A nivel mundial la población experimenta grandes cambios que inciden en la estructura de la sociedad global. El Banco Mundial y el Fondo Monetario Internacional, consideran que esta situación reestructurará el desarrollo económico durante décadas planteando desafíos para reducir la pobreza y lograr la prosperidad compartida siempre y cuando se apliquen las políticas adecuadas. En ese contexto, las últimas conferencias mundiales de población han trascendido su preocupación del crecimiento poblacional a la preocupación por la calidad de vida, se busca un abordaje más integral para solventar los retos y desafíos que enfrentan los Estados para elevar las condiciones de bienestar de la población.
Desde el siglo XIX Emile Durkheim consideraba que las modificaciones en la población constituían un importante factor de cambio en las sociedades, es decir se reconoce que las sociedades pasaron progresivamente de comunidades homogéneas a grandes sociedades complejas lo que genera la necesidad de promover los estudios de población para comprender la causalidad y consecuencias que estos cambios representan para la población y sus territorios.
El compromiso desde la academia se concentra en promover y visibilizar los resultados de la investigación, es decir, se trata de generar evidencia científica como base para la toma de decisiones. Atendiendo a esta responsabilidad, en 2018 la Maestría en Demografía y Desarrollo de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras presenta el volumen14, de la revista Población y Desarrollo: argonautas y caminantes, esta nueva edición publica seis artículos: El aporte de la comunidad paraguaya a la ciudad de Buenos Aires de Victoria Mazzeo y Andrea Gill, La mortalidad en Danlí-El Paraíso entre 1901-1912 con base en registros de defunciones de la parroquia Inmaculada Concepción de Orlín Manuel Duarte, La segregación laboral vertical y horizontal.

Kan prijsdifferentiatie mededingingsbeperkend zijn? Zaak C-525/16 (MEO)
In deze zaak stelt het Hof van Justitie vast onder welke voorwaarden sprake kan zijn van misbruik van economische machtspositie in de zin van discrimiminatie (dan wel prijsdifferentiatie) tussen ondeling concurrerende afnemers waarbij er geen verticaal verband met de leverancier bestaat. De effecten op de concurrent staan centraal. Advocaat-generaal Wahl draagt een kritische conclusie bij waarin onder meer de nadruk op de significantie van de mogelijke gevolgen voor de consument gelegd wordt.
Triaging Atypical Lobular Hyperplasia and Lobular Carcinoma In Situ on Percutaneous Core Biopsy to Surgery or Observation: Assiduous Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation Works, Quantitating Extent of Disease Does Not
Authors: Holbrook Anna I. , Hanley Krisztina , Jeffers Caprichia , Kang Jian , Cohen Michael A. 
Published: December 2018

Context.—The management of lobular neoplasia (LN) found on core biopsy is controversial and ranges from obligatory surgical excision to clinical/imaging observation.Objective.—To determine if in cases of core needle biopsy yielding LN, quantification of normal and diseased terminal ductal lobular units (TDLUs) can predict which cases require surgical excision and which can be safely followed. A secondary goal is to assess whether the concordance or discordance of core biopsy results, determined by rigorous radiologic-pathologic correlation, can predict for upgrade to malignancy at excision.Design.—In this retrospective study, 79 specimens from 78 women who underwent image-guided core needle biopsies between 2005 and 2012 yielding LN were evaluated for total number of TDLUs and total number and percentage of TDLUs involved by LN. Additionally, radiologic-pathologic correlation was performed to assess concordance or discordance. All were correlated with the results of surgical excisional biopsy or imaging/clinical follow-up.Results.—There were 5 upgrades to malignancy. There was no association between upgrade to malignancy and any of the 3 TDLU variables evaluated, including total TDLUs in the specimen (P = .42), total abnormal TDLUs (P = .56), and percent of TDLUs that are abnormal (P = .07). Kendall rank correlation demonstrated a correlation between discordance and upgrade to cancer at surgery that was statistically significant (τb = −0.394, P &lt; .001).Conclusions.—Quantifying total TDLU and those involved by LN on core biopsy will not aid in triaging patients to surgery or observation. Assiduous radiologic-pathologic correlation to determine lesion concordance/discordance can predict those patients who would benefit from surgical excision.
Frozen Section Diagnosis of Ovarian Epithelial Tumors: Diagnostic Pearls and Pitfalls
Authors: Buza Natalia 
Published: December 2018

Context.—Epithelial tumors of the ovary are one of the most frequently encountered gynecologic specimens in the frozen section laboratory. The preoperative diagnostic workup of an ovarian mass is typically limited to imaging studies and serum markers, both of which suffer from low sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, intraoperative frozen section evaluation is crucial for determining the required extent of surgery, that is, cystectomy for benign tumors, oophorectomy or limited surgical staging for borderline tumors in younger patients to preserve fertility, or extensive staging procedure for ovarian carcinomas. Ovarian epithelial tumors may exhibit a wide range of morphologic patterns, which often overlap with each other and can mimic a variety of other ovarian nonepithelial neoplasms as well. A combination of careful gross examination, appropriate sampling and interpretation of morphologic findings, and familiarity with the clinical context is the key to the accurate frozen section diagnosis and successful intraoperative consultation.Objective.—To review the salient frozen section diagnostic features of ovarian epithelial tumors, with special emphasis on useful clinicopathologic and morphologic clues and potential diagnostic pitfalls.Data Sources.—Review of the literature and personal experience of the author.Conclusions.—Frozen section evaluation of ovarian tumors continues to pose a significant diagnostic challenge for practicing pathologists. This review article presents detailed discussions of the most common clinical scenarios and diagnostic problems encountered during intraoperative frozen section evaluation of mucinous, serous, endometrioid, and clear cell ovarian tumors.

Authors: Bukhsh Zaharah Allah , Stipanovic Irina , Palic Sandra Skaric , Klanker Giel 
Published: December 2018

Optimisation of maintenance planning is an essential part of bridge management. With the purpose to support maintenance planning, a multi- objective decision-making model is introduced in this paper. The model is based on multi-attribute utility theory, which is used for the optimisation process when multiple performance goals have to be taken into account. In the model, there are several parameters, which are freely chosen by the decision maker. The model is applied to the inventory of 22 bridges, where four Key Performance Indicators were determined for four performance aspects: reliability, availability, costs and environment. A sensitivity analysis is performed by changing risk tolerance parameter and attribute weights to determine the robustness of the model. The Multi-Attribute Utility model and sensitivity analysis presented in this paper will help decision-makers to examine the robustness of the optimal solution by dynamically changing the critical parameters.
LCC-Based Appraisal of Ballasted and Slab Tracks: Limits and Potential
Authors: Pratico Filippo Giammaria , Giunta Marinella 
Published: December 2018

The increase in train speed and axle load is an important goal to achieve in the future. From a technical standpoint, ballastless tracks seem to be suitable to the aim, especially when high-speed passenger trains share the track with freight trains. Based on the above, the primary objective of this study is the comparison between ballasted and slab tracks regarding total costs over the life course. A suitable model to evaluate the total costs of competing solutions is set up. A solution for solving the issue of CO2 price fluctuation and for the quantification of External Costs is also formulated. Life Cycle Costs are estimated based on agency, environmental and present user values. Analyses and results show that when Life Cycle Costing-based approaches are applied: i) Agency Costs have to be considered in the long-term perspective; ii) expected life has an appreciable impact and several solutions and systems, more affordable in the short term, yield unfavourable maintenance and renewal processes; iii) if total costs are considered over track life, the breakeven point is very far from the construction. Furthermore, the differences between the total Present Values of the two solutions become too small to yield sound conclusions in favour of the ballasted vs. the ballastless solution.

Abstract:
Title: Radiographers’ perception of suboptimal referrals for plain radiography – a qualitative study.Introduction: Adequately filled in radiology requests forms are crucial for the quality of conducting and reporting examinations. Still suboptimal referrals occur. The knowledge of how the referrals are assessed handled in the radiological department is limited, in particular the role of the radiographers. The purpose of this study was to investigate how radiographers understand, experience and act upon suboptimal referrals and how this influence their work.Methods and Materials: A semi-structured interview guide was developed and applied in individual interviews with five radiographers in south-east Norway. The radiographers had different length of employment and experience in performing plain radiographs. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a thematic analysis method.Results: Five main categories were identified from the interviews. 1) Scope and type of referral quality problems, where the problem is recognised, mainly due to missing clinical information, which is reported to occur frequently, particularly in referrals for control examinations. 2) Communication experiences and approaches towards patients, experienced colleges or radiologists, when seeking to substitute missing/wrong referral information. 3) Consequences of inappropriate referrals, in shape of unwarranted examinations, waste of time, and reduced job satisfaction. 4) Perceived responsibility for optimisation and justification of examinations. 5) Strategies to overcome the problem, through leadership and co-operation between radiographers, radiologists and referring physicians.Conclusion: Suboptimal referral quality influence the radiographers work. They recognize it as a commonplace problem with implication for quality patient care, own work-situation and -satisfaction and economically for health society. Increased interdisciplinary co-operation may improve the quality of the referrals.
Comparison of Aberrant Behavior Checklist profiles across Prader–Willi syndrome, Down syndrome, and autism spectrum disorder

Published: December 2018

AbstractPrader–Willi syndrome (PWS, OMIM # 176270) and Down syndrome (DS, OMIM #190685) are neurodevelopmental genetic disorders with higher rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) is a caregiver rating scale that assesses maladaptive behaviors. Overlapping symptoms exist between PWS, DS, and ASD, including maladaptive behaviors. We aimed to evaluate ABC profiles between PWS, DS, and ASD alone (without known genetic syndrome). In addition, we hypothesized PWS and DS with a comorbid ASD positive screen or diagnosis would have similar ABC profiles to ASD alone. ABC data from the following cohorts were analyzed: PWS (Seattle Children's Hospital, n = 28, mean age = 12.8 ± 4.9 years; University of Florida, n = 35, mean age = 9.3 ± 7.1 years), DS (Johns Hopkins, n = 406, mean age = 8.1 ± 2.4 years), and ASD (University of Florida, n = 102, mean age = 10.8 ± 3.5 years). ASD alone had significantly higher ABC scores. Subgroups of PWS and DS with a comorbid ASD positive screen or diagnosis had similarities in scores with the ASD only group, with subscale patterns unique to each syndrome. The ABC indicated worse maladaptive behaviors in children with ASD, including those with genetic syndromes. Although more studies are needed to evaluate the utility and the accuracy of the ABC as a tool to screen for ASD in special populations, it may be a useful adjunct in screening those children with PWS or DS who need more in depth ASD evaluation.
