Singapore’s restructuring of low-wage work: Have cleaning job conditions improved?
Authors: Ng Irene YH , Ng Yi Ying , Lee Poh Choo 
Published: June 2018

AbstractSingapore’s Progressive Wage Model, introduced in 2012 and mandatory in the cleaning industry since 2015, is a skills- and productivity-based approach to redesigning jobs and restructuring wages in the largely outsourced cleaning, security and landscaping sectors. Focusing on cleaning work in the food and beverage industry, this case study examines some early outcomes of this national drive to reduce wage inequality by improving the pay and conditions of commodified work in a sector subject to outsourcing-based cost competition. Based on interviews with cleaners, supervisors and managers, the findings suggest that in general, government and the trade union and employers’ association have worked together, to set wages and conditions transparently. Nevertheless, enforcement issues mean that cleaners remain vulnerable. They have limited information about their employment benefits and face various types of poor conditions, some sanctioned by and others in violation of labour laws. These vulnerabilities have structural roots, including rent imbalances and cheap sourcing, factors that commodify jobs. The implementation of the Progressive Wage Model may have helped de-commodify cleaning jobs for Singaporeans and permanent residents, but such outcomes are still dependent on non-systemic and unenforceable factors such as the kindness of individual supervisors. While a promising start has been made, Singapore’s initial efforts to improve incomes and conditions in low-wage work will nevertheless require stronger regulatory commitment.
Los medios indígenas en Argentina: caracterización y desafíos a partir de la experiencia de dos radios kollas
Authors: Siares Emilse , Belotti Francesca 
Published: June 2018

La Ley 26522 de Servicios de Comunicación Audiovisual de Argentina (2009) reconoce los pueblos originarios como personas de derecho público no estatal habilitadas para prestar servicios de comunicación a través de sus propios medios. Este logro se debe a las reivindicaciones de comunidades y organizaciones indígenas que, durante la discusión de la ley, empujaron la inclusión de su ‘derecho a la comunicación con identidad’. De hecho, solo autorrepresentándose en la arena mediática —esto es, visibilizando sus luchas y culturas— los pueblos originarios pueden descolonizar los discursos estigmatizantes de los medios dominantes y, a la vez, fortalecer su identidad étnica. Por ello, los medios no son solo espacios y herramientas de acompañamiento al movimiento indígena, sino que devienen objetos y sujetos de reivindicación en sí mismos, porque en el espacio público mediatizado se juega la disputa por el poder interpretativo.En este marco, analizamos la experiencia de dos radios kollas del noroeste argentino que se encuentran entre las primeras emisoras autorizadas en el marco de la lSca. A partir de estos casos de estudio, caracterizamos la comunicación indígena mediatizada e identificamos los principales desafíos que los medios de pueblos originarios enfrentan a la hora en que se implementan las políticas del Estado.
La comunicación con identidad. Regulaciones y un estudio de caso
Authors: Lizondo Norma Liliana 
Published: June 2018

El siguiente artículo analiza los alcances de la comunicación con identidad en el marco de la aprobación de la Ley de Servicios de Comunicación Audiovisual en Argentina. Los pueblos originarios hicieron llegar a los foros de consulta, previos a la aprobación de la ley, sus voces con la demanda del derecho a la comunicación y con una categoría que emergió en el campo de las ciencias sociales: comunicación con identidad. El artículo también revisa esa categoría en el contexto de una experiencia desarrollada en el norte de Argentina desde el año 2001; la zona en la que emite la radio es rica en diversidad, ya que habitan siete pueblos originarios, criollos e inmigrantes europeos y árabes.

Background Stomach preparation by ischaemic conditioning prior to oesophageal resection represents a potential method of reducing the risk of anastomotic complications. This study compares the results of the anastomotic complications of cervical anastomosis after oesophagectomy with a short interval after ischaemic conditioning (group S) and a long interval (group L). Methods Subjects undergoing oesophagectomy for carcinoma after ischaemic conditioning were divided into two groups. Group S had a median interval between ischaemic conditioning and resection of 20 days, while for group L the median interval was 49 days. Anastomotic leak and anastomotic stenosis in relation to the interval between ischaemic conditioning and actual resection were followed. Results After ischaemic conditioning, 33 subjects in total underwent surgery for carcinoma; 19 subjects in group S and 14 subjects in group L. Anastomotic leak incidence was comparable in both groups. Anastomotic stenosis occurred in 21% of cases in group S and 7% of cases in group L (not statistically significant). Conclusions A long interval between ischaemic conditioning and oesophagectomy does not adversely affect the postoperative complications. A lower incidence of anastomosis stenoses was found in subjects with a longer interval, however, given the size of our sample, the statistical significance was not demonstrated. Both groups seem comparable in surgical procedure course and postoperative complications.

Candida albicans (C. albicans) is one of the major source of nosocomial infections in human which may prove fatal in 30% of cases. The hospital acquired infection is very difficult to affectively treat due to the presence of drug resistant pathogenic strains, therefore there is a need to find alternative drug targets to cure this infection. In silico and computational level frame work was used to prioritize and establish antifungal drug targets of Candida albicans. The identification of putative drug targets was based on acquiring completely 5090 annotated genes of Candida albicans from available databases which was categorized into essential and non-essential genes. The result indicated 9% proteins were essential that could become potential candidates for intervention which might result in pathogen death. We studied cluster of orthologs and the subtractive genomic analysis of these essential proteins against human genome as a reference to minimize the side effects. It was seen that 14% of Candidal proteins were evolutionary related to the human proteins while 86% are non-human homologs. In next step for the selection of compatible drug targets, the non-human homologs were sequentially compared to human microbiome data to minimize the potential effects against gut flora which accumulated to 38% of essential genome. The sub-cellular localization of these candidate proteins in fungal cellular systems exhibited that 80% are cytoplasmic, 10% are mitochondrial and remaining 10 % are associated with cell wall. The role of these non-human and non-gut flora putative target proteins in Candidal biological pathways was studied and on the basis of their integrated and critical role 4-proteins were selected for molecular modeling. For drug designing and development, five quality and reliable protein models with more than 70% homology were constructed. Our study will be an effective framework for drug target identifications of pathogenic microbial strains and development of new therapies against these infections.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
To compare different appliances for early anterior open bite (AOB) correction.

Materials and Methods:
This was a parallel, randomized clinical trial. A prospective sample of patients with AOB was recruited consecutively. Eligibility criteria included angle class I malocclusion with AOB equal to or greater than 1 mm. Participants were allocated by simple randomization to 4 groups: bonded spurs, chin cup, fixed palatal crib, and removable palatal crib. Dentoalveolar changes among the groups were assessed by blinded observers by comparing lateral cephalograms taken before (T1) and 12 months after treatment (T2; analysis of variance followed by Tukey test). Of the measurements, 30% were reassessed for reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman agreement test; α = 5%; 95% confidence interval).

Results:
A total of 99 patients with a mean AOB of 3.7 mm (mean age 8.4 ± 0.8 years, both genders) were recruited. Dropouts occurred in all the groups, yielding a final sample size of 81 analyzed individuals. Intergroup comparisons of differences (T2–T1) showed significant differences for the incisor positioning variables (1.1, 1-PP, 6-PP, IMPA, 1.NB and 1-GoMe). However, there was no significant difference in AOB reduction among the groups, with an average correction of 3.1 mm.

Conclusions:
All of the tested devices promoted dental changes, especially in the anterior region, and contributed to AOB reduction during the study period. However, fixed palatal crib demonstrated greater impact on the positioning of the incisors.

Abstract
We present the first detection of OH absorption in diffuse gas at z > 0, along with another eight stringent limits on OH column densities for cold atomic gas in galaxies at 0 < z < 0.4. The absorbing gas detected toward Q0248+430 (z

q

g
= 0.0519) at an impact parameter of 15 kpc. The measured column density is N(OH) = (6.3 ± 0.8) × 1013

cm−2, where

and T
ex are the covering factor and the excitation temperature of the absorbing gas, respectively. In our Galaxy, the column densities of OH in diffuse clouds are of the order of N(OH) ∼ 1013–14 cm−2. From the incidence (number per unit redshift; n
21) of H i 21 cm absorbers at 0.5 < z < 1 and assuming no redshift evolution, we estimate the incidence of OH absorbers (with log N(OH) > 13.6) to be n
OH =

at z ∼ 0.1. Based on this we expect to detect

such OH absorbers from the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS). Using H i 21 cm and OH 1667 MHz absorption lines detected toward Q0248+430, we estimate (ΔF/F) = (5.2 ± 4.5) × 10−6, where

, α is the fine structure constant, μ is the electron–proton mass ratio, and g

p
is the proton gyromagnetic ratio. This corresponds to Δα/α(z = 0.0519) = (1.7 ± 1.4) × 10−6, which is among the stringent constraints on the fractional variation of α.

Abstract
The ultraviolet (UV) extinction feature at 2175 Å is ubiquitously observed in the Galaxy but is rarely detected at high redshifts. Here we report the spectroscopic detection of the 2175 Å bump on the sightline to the γ-ray burst (GRB) afterglow GRB 180325A at z = 2.2486, the only unambiguous detection over the past 10 years of GRB follow-up, at four different epochs with the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) and the Very Large Telescope (VLT)/X-shooter. Additional photometric observations of the afterglow are obtained with the Gamma-Ray burst Optical and Near-Infrared Detector (GROND). We construct the near-infrared to X-ray spectral energy distributions (SEDs) at four spectroscopic epochs. The SEDs are well described by a single power law and an extinction law with R

V
≈ 4.4, A

V
≈ 1.5, and the 2175 Å extinction feature. The bump strength and extinction curve are shallower than the average Galactic extinction curve. We determine a metallicity of [Zn/H] > −0.98 from the VLT/X-shooter spectrum. We detect strong neutral carbon associated with the GRB with equivalent width of W
r(λ 1656) = 0.85 ± 0.05. We also detect optical emission lines from the host galaxy. Based on the Hα emission-line flux, the derived dust-corrected star formation rate is ∼46 ± 4 M

Authors: Okla Nour Al , Bader Danah M. A. , Makki Laith 
Published: June 2018

Purpose
The effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with light-emitting diode (LED) delivery (Biolux OrthoPulse® device) were tested for no differences from sham-controlled conventional orthodontics in maxillary anterior alignment treatment efficiency and maxillary central incisor root resorption after 6 months of treatment.

Materials and Methods
Two prospective clinical trial samples were matched for pretreatment irregularity index with (n = 14) and without (n = 12) photobiomodulation therapy (850 nm wavelength, 0.065 J/cm2, 5 min per-arch-per-day) and examined every 2 weeks for reduction of irregularity index to <1 mm. The sham control sample was provided with LED devices that did not deliver infrared light. Standardized periapical radiographs of maxillary central incisors were compared at initial and 6 months of treatment.

Results
Photobiomodulation resolved maxillary anterior crowding with 35.2% greater efficiency (41.0 vs. 63.3 days, P = 0.028) at nearly double the tooth movement rate-per-week (1.02 vs. 62 mm/week, P = 0.045). Mean maxillary central incisor root lengths were significantly shorter at the 6-month treatment interval after LLLT (19.63 vs. 20.85 mm, P = 0.021).

Conclusions
LED photobiomodulation therapy at 850 nm wavelength resulted in 1.7X more rapid maxillary anterior alignment.
Reinventing the Teaching Machine for Our Time: Reading Thinking Literature across Continents
Authors: Gu Ming Dong 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Teachers of literature around the world are confronted with a stark reality: shrinking reading public of literature in society, and dwindling enrollment of literary majors in colleges and universities due to the ongoing digital revolution and pressures from STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) subjects. The diminishing interest in literature is an undeniable fact recognized in both Western and Eastern literatures. It is under these not-so-rosy circumstances for literary studies that the author of this article reads with great interest the book, Thinking Literature across Continents coauthored by Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Miller, and wishes to join them in discussing the fate and future of literature in the age of globalization and telecommunication. Reflecting on the conceptual and practical issues identified by the book, the author also offers his own observations and ideas on the current conditions of literature and suggests practical strategies to cope with the predicament faced by literary studies in our time.
Traveling Criticism and the Worlds of Literature
Authors: Dooghan Daniel 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThis article contends that world literature is necessarily plural, and that its generative mechanism is the dialogue of globally circulating criticism with local political and aesthetic concerns. By examining Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Miller's Thinking Literature across Continents, and the debates over Rabindranath Tagore's 1924 visit to China, the article seeks to illustrate how the interaction of local and global criticism selectively authorizes texts as part of a world literature. The resulting literary constellations, though claiming cosmopolitan legitimacy, are not necessarily visible as such from other localities despite a shared critical vocabulary. Those localities may be distributed geographically, as in Ghosh and Miller's encounter, or ideologically, as Tagore's varied Chinese receptions showed. However, rather than mourning the impossibility of a singular, utopian world literature, these examples suggest that embracing the fundamental fragmentariness of global literary production offers insight into both the obstacles that hinder cross-cultural exchange as well as the processes that enable it. Moreover, taking the contingency of worlds of literature as a ground for inquiry offers a mode of resistance to aggressively hegemonic constructions of a singular world literature.
Modernidad arquitectónica en El Salvador : la estética de un ideal
Authors: Rivera Sofía 
Published: June 2018

Modern architecture had a particular dynamics in each country of Latin America. In the case of El Salvador, it coincided with a significant increase in building sector from the 1940s to 1980s. It coincided also with the founding of new institutions related to construction such as Dirección de Urbanismo y Arquitectura (Direction of Urbanism and Architecture), Instituto de Vivienda Urbana (Institute of Urban Housing), Junta Nacional de Turismo (National Board of Tourism), among others. They promoted new tipologies of buildings such as movie theaters, scholar groups, market places and recreational centers. It is also noteworthy the arrival of new professionals in architecture, both of foreign origins or nationals trained abroad; the emergens of new spaces of thought and debate, such as de School of Architecture in the public university or the Grupo Salvadoreño de Arquitectos (Group of Salvadoran Architects); and it should also be underlined the new technical possibilities with the founding of enterprises that produced or distributed new materials such as lattice windows, corrugated sheets, or concrete blocks.Realidad: Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades No. 150, 2017: 9-39
