A note on Modern Hebrew voicing assimilation
Authors: Mizrachi Avi 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
In Hebrew, consecutive obstruents that differ in voicing can be produced with the same voicing. This process is regressive as the first obstruent assimilates to the obstruent following it. It is also an optional process as it is dependent on the rate of speech and the formality of the utterance (Bolozky 1978, 1997). Using elicited data, an acoustic study on intervocalic obstruent sequences in Hebrew (Mizrachi 2016) has recently shown that assimilation-to-voiceless is more frequent than assimilation-to-voiced. Moreover, not only does devoicing assimilation occur more often, but it also occurs progressively—at least in terms of vocal fold vibration—in more cases than suggested in previous work.
Modern Hebrew Sociophonetics
Authors: Gafter Roey J. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This paper surveys current research on the sociophonetics of Modern Hebrew, meaning the research of phonetic variation in Hebrew speech that is socially conditioned, or interpreted as socially meaningful. The paper discusses recent methodological and theoretical advances in sociophonetic research on production and perception, and illustrates how these have been implemented in Hebrew and influenced our understanding of Hebrew sociolinguistics. It further highlights a number of key sociolinguistic variables that have received the most attention in quantitative research on segmental variation: the pharyngeal segments (ħ) and (ʕ), the Hebrew rhotic (r), the glottal fricative (h), and the diphthong (ej). The paper concludes with a discussion of future directions and additional variables of interest which have the potential to advance the growing field of Hebrew sociophonetics.
A German Rifle Casing and Chief Mkwawa of the Wahehe: the Colonial and Post-Colonial Significance of Mlambalasi Rockshelter, Iringa Region, Tanzania
Authors: Willoughby Pamela R. , Biittner Katie M. , Bushozi Pastory M. , Miller Jennifer M. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
During the 2010 excavations of Mlambalasi rockshelter, Iringa Region, Tanzania, a single rifle bullet casing was recovered. Analysis of this casing found that it was manufactured in 1877 at the munitions factory in Danzig for the German infantry’s Mauser 71 rifle. This casing is thus directly linked to the period of German colonization of Tanganyika, during which Iringa was a key centre of anti-colonial resistance. Mlambalasi was the location of the last stand of Chief Mkwawa of the Hehe people, and this bullet casing provides a tangible link to his uprising during the 1890s. In light of this colonial context and our ongoing research at Mlambalasi, this find is used to illustrate that a single artifact can reinforce multiple narratives about the past and the significance of an archaeological site.
Coṃpendio delas šeḥiṭót (Constantinople ca. 1510): The First Judeo-Spanish Printed Publication
Authors: Cohen Dov , (Rodrigue) Schwarzwald Ora 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
It is commonly accepted that Hilkhot Sheḥiṭa u-Vdika (literally, ‘The Laws of Ritual Slaughter and Examination’—Constantinople ca. 1510) was the first publication ever printed in Judeo-Spanish. Yet scholars possessed no evidence that the work actually existed, and no information was available regarding its contents or language. Recently, however, the first four pages of the publication were discovered among the remnants of the Cairo Genizah. The current study is a preliminary description of this publication’s historical bibliography, halakhic sources, structure and contents, orthography and spelling (which reflect untrained writing and inconsistent pronunciation), and its special vocabulary, including the Hebrew component, which specifically relates to religion.
Muḥammad Ḥusayn Haykal’s Anti-Enlightenment Modernity (1916–1925)
Authors: Casini Lorenzo 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
In public discourse and scholarly literature alike, the notions of “modernity,” “Enlightenment” and “the West” are often associated. This article underscores the problems inherent in these associations by focusing on the Egyptian context of the second and third decades of the twentieth century, and in particular on several nationalist articles published by Muḥammad Ḥusayn Haykal (1888–1956). The article contends that Haykal’s writings contributed to the shaping of a modern worldview, the unifying elements of which are represented by the tenets of the anti-Enlightenment tradition. Reference to this intellectual tradition, which the eminent historian of ideas Zeev Sternhell theorized almost exclusively in relation to European intellectual debates, proves to be a far more accurate approach to Haykal’s ideological orientations than the paradigms traditionally employed in the critical analysis of his writings.
Embarking upon a New Era through an Old Genre: Biographical Essays in Journals of the Nahḍah Period — Ǧurǧī Zaydān and al-Hilāl’s Early Years as Example
Authors: Winckler Barbara 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Biography is a genre with a long history in Arabic literature. This paper aims at demonstrating how Ǧurǧī Zaydān (1861–1914), one of the most prominent figures of the Nahḍah, adapted biographical writing to the needs of his time. The new medium of the periodical press seemed to be the most adequate means for him to realize his endeavors. The paper points to the central position accorded to biographical essays in al-Hilāl, the journal founded by Zaydān in 1892. Zaydān who saw himself in the role of the ‘educator of society’ pursued a twofold aim: the dissemination of historical knowledge and the presentation of role models. Through an exemplary reading of selected biographical essays published in the early years of al-Hilāl, the paper analyzes the style and structure of the essays and demonstrates how Zaydān selected and grouped the portrayed persons, building up a body of texts to be read as a series of exemplary lives. Focusing on the specifics related to the publishing medium, it examines various forms used by Zaydān to interact with the reader. Whereas, in previous research, much emphasis has been laid on the contents debated in the periodical press, I argue that it is particularly revealing to examine the effects and impact of form and style, of textual strategies and medial practices.
Women’s Fictional Writing and Social Morality: a Reading of Qalb al-raǧul (Man’s Heart, 1904) by Labībah Hāšim
Authors: Paniconi Maria Elena 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Labībah Hāšim (1880–1947), a Lebanese-born intellectual and writer, moved to Egypt at the very beginning of the twentieth century and took part in the literary life of Cairene circles, frequenting prominent intellectuals such as the lexicographer Ibrāhīm al-Yāziǧī (1847–1906). She is generally quoted as the founder of the periodical Fatāt al-šarq (Eastern Young Woman, 1906), and subsequently of the first Arab periodical in Latin America (Šarq wa-Ġarb, East and West) during her four-year experience in Chile. Her juvenile novel Qalb al-raǧul (Man’s Heart), published in 1904, is set during and after the social events that shook Lebanon in 1860. The story initially is based on the traditional topos of a contrasted, romantic love and then evolves into an original narrative, characterised by the acute observation of social reality. I highlight here how Hāšim’s narrative embodies a formal and substantial shifting from a romantic and pastoral narrative to a more realistic model. In particular, issues as love, friendship and the quest for self-realisation are vividly discussed throughout the novel, through dialogic and realistic scenes from the daily life of the merchant class.
The Preverbal Negation Particle esə in Kalmyk: Historical Development and Typological Context of Negators in Subordinate Clause
Authors: Baranova Vlada 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The goal of this paper is a comprehensive description of the negation particle esǝ, which is the single preverbal indicative negator in Kalmyk, whereas other negation markers are placed after the verb. The particle esǝ is mainly used in subordinate clauses. Judging from corpus data, it also occurs with a small number of finite forms in emphatic contexts such as rhetorical questions. This paper provides an explanation for both of these facts based on historical and typological considerations. More specifically, it will examine the results of the development of the negation system on a synchronic level, focusing on spoken data and corpora. It will also contribute to a broader understanding of negation in subordinate clause. A typological overview of sources for different markers in dependent clause shows that the Kalmyk case is uncommon cross-linguistically. An additional factor that plays a role here is the dichotomy finiteness vs. non-finiteness/nominalization.

Published: July 2019

Background. Educational games are widely used in business classes in general, and supply chain management (SCM) classes in particular. These games are designed to familiarize students with the real business world. Most SCM games are ready-made, with pre-set learning objectives focusing on a certain module in a supply chain. Intervention. This article presents the new spreadsheet-based Flexible Supply Chain Management Game (FSCMG) and the findings of its pilot study. FSCMG’s features are transparent to instructors and students alike. It is easily modifiable to suit an instructor’s learning objectives. Method. Six groups of undergraduate students took turns playing three modules, namely a wholesaler, manufacturer, and supplier. There were two groups per module to represent two supply chains. The students’ spreadsheets are analyzed and presented. Results. Students’ spreadsheets revealed that they were able to employ SCM conceptual understanding in FSCMG, particularly pricing strategy, inventory management, forecasting, and the relationships within a supply chain. Conclusion. FSCGM helped the students apply their in-class knowledge in a real-world situation and be well prepared for their future careers where an extensive understanding is required.
Factors Relating to Caregivers’ Preference for Advance Care Planning of Patients in Japan: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Shaku Fumio , Tsutsumi Madoka , Nakamura Asumi , Takagi Hiroshi , Otsuka Takahiro , Maruoka Shuichiro 
Published: July 2019

Objectives:The aim of this study was to examine the preferences of home caregivers on patient advance care planning (ACP), including life-sustaining treatment (LST) and the factors relating to these preferences.Background:Personalized ACP aims to respect the autonomy and choices of terminally ill patients regarding end-of-life care. However, there have been cases wherein doctors must instead discuss ACP with surrogates (including caregivers) for various reasons such as dementia, intractable neurologic diseases, and cerebrovascular accident.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, self-written questionnaires (filled by individuals themselves) were distributed to 506 in-home caregivers in 6 Japanese prefectures; the questionnaires contained items on caregiver and patient demographics, number of people living together in a caregiver’s home (aside from patients), care duration, comprehension level of doctors’ explanations regarding their patient’s condition, patient diseases, whether caregivers have or have not told patients about their disease, level of nursing care, and caregiver LST preference (preferred or not preferred). The questionnaire package also contained the Burden Index of Caregiver-11, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Short Form-8 Health Survey.Results:Valid responses were obtained from 309 caregivers. More than half of them were not sure of their patient’s LST preference. Sex, number of people living together in a care home, comprehension level of doctors’ explanations, and care duration were found to be the significant factors relating to caregivers’ LST preference ( P < .05).Conclusion:Health providers should be cognizant of the background factors relating to caregiver ACP preference when deciding on LST for terminal patients.
Minimally Invasive Retrograde Method of Harvesting the Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon: A Cadaveric Study
Authors: Goss David A. , Halverson Adam , Philbin Terrence M. , Bull Patrick E. 
Published: July 2019

Background: Use of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon is well described for several tendon augmentation procedures. Harvesting the FHL through an open medial approach is commonly done, but is associated with anatomic risks. Recently, several authors have described a minimally invasive (MI) technique to harvest the FHL tendon utilizing a hamstring tendon stripper commonly used in ACL reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of harvesting the FHL tendon using this novel minimally invasive retrograde approach. Methods: The FHL tendon was harvested through a transverse plantar incision over the interphalangeal joint of the great toe in 10 fresh-frozen cadaver lower extremities. A lateral-based incision for peroneal tendon repair was made and the FHL was retrieved. Tendon length, complications, and interconnections between the FHL and flexor digitorum longus (FDL) were recorded and classified. The specimens were then dissected by a single surgeon in a standardized fashion, and damage to any surrounding structures was recorded. Results: The average length of the FHL tendon from the distal stump to the first intertendinous connection was 13.3 cm (range 8.8-16 cm, SD 2.3 cm). Eight cadavers demonstrated Plaass type 1 interconnections whereas 2 demonstrated type 3. There was no injury to the medial and lateral plantar arteries and nerves, plantar plate, or FDL tendons. One FHL tendon was amputated at the level of the sustentaculum during graft harvest. No injury of the medial neurovascular structures occurred with retrieval of the FHL tendon through the lateral incision. Conclusions: We found that care must be taken when approaching the sustentaculum with the tendon harvester in order to avoid amputation of the graft against a hard bony endpoint. Additionally, flexion and extension of the lesser toes could aid in successful tendon harvest when tendon interconnections were encountered. Clinical Relevance: Using this MI technique appears to be a safe and effective way to obtain a long FHL tendon graft for tissue augmentation.
Acute angle-closure glaucoma with choroidal effusion revealing a hantavirus infection: Description of ultrasound biomicroscopy imagery and optical coherence tomography Visante
Authors: Baillieul Alexandre , Le Tich Ludovic , Rouland Jean-François 
Published: July 2019

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral angle-closure associated with systemic hantavirus infection. Materials and methods: A 32-year-old Caucasian man was referred with blurred vision, fever, cough, dyspnea and thrombocytopenia. Ophthalmologic examination revealed myopic shift, elevated intraocular pressure (30 mmHg right eye and 24 mmHg left eye), corneal edema, iridocorneal angle closure and shallow anterior chamber. Ciliochoroidal effusion was detected on anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy. Serologic test and polymerase chain reaction confirmed the diagnosis of hantavirus infection and the serotype Puumala. On the sixth day after he started topical anti-glaucoma and cycloplegic medications, the anterior chamber and iridocorneal angles were normalized with disappearance of ciliochoroidal effusion. Conclusion: Puumala hantavirus infection is an exceptional cause of acute bilateral angle-closure combined with ciliochoroidal effusion.
Public views regarding the responsibility of patients, clinicians, and institutions to participate in research in the United States
Authors: Weinfurt Kevin P , Lin Li , Sugarman Jeremy 
Published: July 2019

Background The need for more and better evidence to inform clinical decision making among all stakeholders has fueled calls for creating learning healthcare systems. The successful realization of a learning healthcare system seems to assume that various parties have a responsibility to participate in learning activities, including research. The objective of this study was to determine whether members of the general public perceive an ethical responsibility to participate in pragmatic clinical research that would be inherent to a learning health system. Methods A total of 2994 English-speaking adults completed a nationally representative online survey. Results About two-thirds of respondents were relatively neutral regarding a responsibility for themselves and others to participate in research; the remainder felt that they and others did not have a responsibility to participate in research. Conclusions Efforts to justify and develop a robust learning health system in an ethically acceptable fashion need to take these findings into account.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Infectious agents have been identified in the etiology of certain non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes and solid tumors. The impact of this shared etiology on risk for second cancers in NHL survivors has not been comprehensively studied. We used US population–based cancer registry data to quantify risk of solid malignancies associated with infectious etiology among 127 044 adult 1-year survivors of the 4 most common NHL subtypes diagnosed during 2000 to 2014 (mean follow-up, 4.5-5.2 years). Compared with the general population, elevated risks for liver, stomach, and anal cancers were observed among diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) survivors (standardized incidence ratio [SIR], 1.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46-2.31; SIR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.16-1.94; SIR, 3.71; 95% CI, 2.52-5.27, respectively) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL; SIR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.34-2.83; SIR, 2.78; 95% CI, 2.02-3.74; SIR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.02-4.64, respectively) but not follicular lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. Anal cancer risk was particularly elevated among DLBCL survivors with HIV (SIR, 68.34; 95% CI, 37.36-114.66) vs those without (SIR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.22-3.34). The observed patterns are consistent with shared associations between these cancers and hepatitis C virus, Helicobacter pylori, and HIV, respectively. In contrast, risks for cervical and oropharyngeal/tonsil cancers were not elevated among survivors of any NHL subtype, possibly because of the lack of NHL association with human papillomavirus or population-wide screening practices (for cervical cancer). In summary, patterns of elevated second cancer risk differed by NHL subtype. Our results suggest shared infectious etiology has implications for subsequent cancer risks among DLBCL and MZL survivors, which may help inform surveillance for these survivors.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background
Non-tunneled hemodialysis catheters are currently used for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury requiring extracorporeal renal replacement therapy. Strategies to prevent catheter dysfunction and infection with catheter locks remain controversial.

Methods
In a multicenter, randomized, controlled, double-blind trial, we compared two strategies for catheter locking of non-tunneled hemodialysis catheters, namely trisodium citrate at 4% (intervention group) versus unfractionated heparin (control group), in patients aged 18 years or older admitted to the intensive care unit and in whom a first non-tunneled hemodialysis catheter was to be inserted by the jugular or femoral vein. The primary endpoint was length of event-free survival of the first non-tunneled hemodialysis catheter. Secondary endpoints were: rate of fibrinolysis, incidence of catheter dysfunction and incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), all per 1000 catheter-days; number of hemorrhagic events requiring transfusion, length of stay in intensive care and in hospital; 28-day mortality.

Results
Overall, 396 randomized patients completed the trial: 199 in the citrate group and 197 in the heparin group. There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics between groups. The duration of event-free survival of the first non-tunneled hemodialysis catheter was not significantly different between groups: 7 days (IQR 3–10) in the citrate group and 5 days (IQR 3–11) in the heparin group (p = 0.51). Rates of catheter thrombosis, CRBSI, and adverse events were not statistically different between groups.

Conclusions
In critically ill patients, there was no significant difference in the duration of event-free survival of the first non-tunneled hemodialysis catheter between trisodium citrate 4% and heparin as a locking solution. Catheter thrombosis, catheter-related infection, and adverse events were not statistically different between the two groups.

Germany’s AfD – members, leaders and ideologies
Authors: Klikauer Thomas 
Published: July 2019

AbstractIn the year 2018, Germany’s new radical right-wing party, the AfD, completed its electoral success by entering the two remaining state parliament in which the AfD wasn’t represented – Bavaria and Hessen. Hessen is also the state where Hubert Kleinert’s (The AfD and its members[Die AfD und ihre Mitglieder], 2018) excellent investigation into AfD members takes place. His empirical work represents a unique insight into ideology and thinking of AfD members. One of the key members of the AfD is Björn Höcke. Björn Höcke is more than just a member. He is the leader of the AfD in his home state of Thuringia and his is the leader of the highly influential radical right wing,Der Flügel. The wing, as it is known, represents the most extremist section of the AfD. It is partly because of the wing that CDU hard man, Friedrich Merz, recently called the AfD, ‘openly Nazi [with] antisemitic undertones’ (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/afd-are-nazis-angela-merkel-rival-friedrich-merz-g0dvwvdlg). In Sebastian Hennig’s (Never twice in the same river[Nie zweimal in denselben Fluss], 2018) interview with Björn Höcke, the völkisch boss talks freely about this political ideas. Finally, the rise of the AfD marks a distinctive move to the right changing Germany’s political culture. What all this means is shown in Andreas Peglau’s (Shifting Right in the twenty-first Century[Rechtsruck im 21. Jahrhundert], 2018) exquisite book ‘Shifting Right in the 21stCentury’. The review concludes by arguing that the AfD is not an outright Nazi party. The AfD is a fascistoid party – it carries elements of fascism inside.
