“From Hypocrisy to Sincerity”
Authors: Larsson Gustav 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This article analyses certain rhetorical aspects of “Islamic State” (IS) propaganda. Specifically, it discusses arguments used to concretise calls to action, focusing on recurring ways in which supposed benefits of engagement are contrasted with disadvantages of abstention. It appears that the opposing notions of “sincerity” and “hypocrisy” underpin many of the arguments presented, which prompts a closer look at their respective symbolisms. The rhetorical prominence of these antonyms indicates an apparently conscious attempt to address contemporary issues of social identity and political marginalisation, whereby the experiences of Muslim minorities (including those in Europe) are repeatedly used as a discouraging example.
“When I finally heard my own voice”
Authors: Vliek Maria 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to expand on Dialogical Self Theory and to illustrate its benefits for the analysis of narratives of leaving Islam in a post-migration context. With leaving one’s religion, complex mechanisms of doubt, uncertainty, and ethical self-making come to the fore. Being in a post-migration context raises additional issues of intersectionality. Dialogical Self Theory is well-suited for the close-reading and in-depth analysis of such trajectories out of Islam, because it firstly considers the actual voices and their interaction in self-narrative. Secondly, Dialogical Self Theory allows for the recognition of the complex embeddedness of these voices in discursive power-structures. Thirdly, it considers self-making agentic properties. The particular usefulness of this theory will be exemplified by applying its analytical tools to one such trajectory.
The AKP’s “pious youth in Cyprus” Project and the Turkish Cypriot “deviations”
Authors: Moudouros Nikos 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse the efforts of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) to reinforce Islam within the Turkish Cypriot community, especially in the period 2009-2017. The article focuses on the changes recorded in Turkey on the basis of an ideological transformation and the policies that promote these changes in Cyprus, as well as on the reactions to these changes in the period under study. One of the key dimensions of the article is the recording of the deviation of part of the Turkish Cypriot community from the Turkish-Islamic paradigm. The Turkish Cypriot deviation signals the political efforts of the Turkish Cypriots to preserve the Cypriot identity of their community, a key feature of which is secularism.
On Being a (Good) Muslim in the West: Four Contributions by Dutch Muslim Publicists
Authors: Boender Welmoet 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This review essay discusses four books published in Dutch by three Muslims and an ‘ex-Muslim’ in 2014 and 2015 that present different approaches to how to live as a (‘good’) Muslim in the West. The former Dutch politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali pleads for far-reaching amendments to Islamic rules concerning belief, ethics and law. Her view differs fundamentally from that of the Muslim theologian Razi Quadir (VU Amsterdam), who positions himself within the Sunni legal tradition. The third author, Muslim theologian and ministry official Mohamed Ajouaou (VU Amsterdam) argues that one should focus primarily on the diversity of Muslim religiosity in the Dutch secular context. Finally, in his autobiographical portrait, Dennis Abdelkarim Honing explains how he discovered legitimate options for living as a pious Muslim in the West. Each in their own way, the authors point to the phenomenon of accusing fellow Muslims being heretical or going astray, and its heavy impact on internal Islamic debate.
Special Economic Zones: A Catalyst for International Trade and Investment in Unsettling Times?
Authors: Cheng Teresa 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
In the present unsettling times, the world is in need of an effective catalyst to drive the growth of international trade and investment. Special economic zones (SEZs) may have the strong potential to serve as such catalyst. Drawing on the experience of SEZs around the globe, this article seeks to illustrate how to make an SEZ work and how to do it right. In particular, the experience of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China can provide useful insights in this regard. This article will also look at how changing global trade and economic environment has given rise to new challenges and opportunities for SEZ development, including innovation in dispute resolution mechanisms, synergy with free trade agreement initiatives, greater use of modern technology, a ‘green’ development model and collaboration and partnerships among governments as well as international organizations.
Brazil, BITs and FDI: A Synthetic Control Approach
Authors: Cavallo Paulo 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The explosion in bilateral investment treaties (BITs) signed between countries in the 1990s and the concurrent surge in foreign direct investment (FDI) flows draw substantial attention in the literature. This article tackles the controversial relationship between BITs and FDI inflows using an innovative technique: the synthetic control method. Brazil is a peculiar case because it is one of the few cases where FDI inflows had a significant surge even in the complete absence of BITs. Did foreign investors really not need BITs in order to invest in Brazil? I find evidence that, although Brazil received substantial amounts of FDI even in the absence of BITs, had they enacted any BIT, the inflow in the period would have been greater. The method builds a synthetic Brazil from a pool of other countries providing this way a better comparative analysis. The findings are robust to both in-space and in-time placebo experiments.
Introduction
Authors: Jones Medine Carolyn , Loh Lucienne 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The “Introduction” sets out the origin of the issue, its themes, and its strategy of pairing American and British scholars. It introduces the themes of the essays on literature, performance—particularly in New Orleans—and heritage and tourism. Suggesting that these essays take seriously Paul Gilroy’s “The Black Atlantic,” we also argue that we are extending his argument to look at new themes and forms of cultural production.
Slavery and Public History at the Big House
Authors: Moody Jessica , Small Stephen 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This article considers the public history of slavery at plantation museums in the US South and at country houses in Britain. Drawing on original research, the authors critique recent and current efforts to bring connections between these “Big Houses” and the history of slavery to the fore through different methods of interpretation. These elite residences are argued to have largely obscured such connections historically through distancing, distortion, and denial. However, some notable efforts have been made in recent years to diversify public history narratives and more fully represent histories of enslavement. Comparing these American and British house museums, this article contextualizes public history work at these sites and proposes possible lessons from this research, presenting some points to be taken forward which emerge from this transatlantic comparison.
The Christian Quaker: George Keith and the Keithian Controversy
Authors: Ward Madeleine 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
How did the early Quakers understand the relationship between Quakerism and Christianity? Did they think faith in Jesus was necessary? What did they mean by the ‘Light within’? These were the central issues in the Keithian controversy: an explosive schism which broke out among Philadelphian Quakers in the 1690s when George Keith – arguably the most influential Quaker theologian of the seventeenth century – was accused of focusing too heavily on the Incarnate Jesus in his preaching. Keith left the movement under a cloud, and the Keithian controversy has often been explained away in terms of personality and politics. However, this volume presents a theological reading of the dispute. Through a study of Keith’s personal theological development, Madeleine Ward presents his departure from the movement as a significant case – study in the contested relationship between Quakerism and Christianity – and, ultimately, as a battle for the spiritual heart of the Religious Society of Friends.
Universalising Inclusivism—and Its Limits: Bhaktivinod and the Experiential Turn
Authors: Wong Lucian 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThis article argues that colonial Hindu attempts to universalise strategies of ‘inclusivism’ to negotiate religious diversity are, at times, marked by tensions and ambiguities that are indicative of the forceful persistence of restrictive concerns associated with pre-colonial Hindu inclusivist modalities. It does so by way of an examination of the writings of Kedarnath Datta Bhaktivinod (1838–1914), a prominent Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava theologian and leader in late nineteenth century Bengal. The article demonstrates that, while Bhaktivinod’s early model of Vaiṣṇava inclusivism may instantiate the pervasive universalising impulse of modern Hindu discourse, close reading of his corpus reveals a significant transition in his strategy for dealing with diversity that is undergirded by an implicit shift in his experience-oriented epistemology. In sum, this transition problematises the notion that his inclusivist practice can be taken as a definitive index of rupture from pre-colonial Gauḍīya theology.
Validation of Satellite Observations of Storm Damage to Cropland with Digital Photographs
Authors: Gallo Kevin , Schumacher Philip , Boustead Josh , Ferguson Alex 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTSevere storm events that include hail and wind often cause widespread contiguous swaths of damage; however, their occurrence is typically documented at individual and disjointed locations. Satellite-derived products, such as the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), can provide a more spatially uniform look at the extent of these events, particularly in rural or remote areas. The utility of incorporating satellite-based products into the damage identification and documentation process was assessed through high-resolution ground surveys, which included digital photographs, to classify three levels of cropland damage for three severe hail/wind events occurring in the Great Plains during the summer of 2014. Pre- and postevent NDVI values at the photograph locations were calculated using surface reflectance values from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and grouped by damage severity level. In general, more severe crop damage displayed a lower NDVI in the postevent imagery compared to undamaged crops. Additionally, the difference in the median NDVI between the pre- and postevent images was statistically significant between the damage categories with similar trends observed across the three summertime events. Thus, satellite-derived products should be promoted as a valuable tool for the initial assessment of damage severity and extent to agricultural crops and should be integrated when possible into the current hazard documentation process as a supplement to the currently available point-based observations of storm damage.
Bilateral radiation-induced squamous cell carcinomas of the external auditory canal 30 years after radiotherapy for a pituitary adenoma: a case report
Authors: De Roeck Laurien , Nuyts Sandra 
Published: February 2019

Introduction: The most important long-term effect of radiotherapy is induction of secondary cancers. A rare radiation-induced tumor is a squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal. Case reports have been described in Asian patients after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer. Case description: We describe an unusual case report of a 53-year-old Caucasian man who developed squamous cell carcinomas of the right and left external auditory canal, respectively 29 and 30 years after radiotherapy for a pituitary adenoma. Conclusion: In young patients with benign tumors, we should always evaluate whether the benefits of radiotherapy outweigh the risks and side effects. After radiotherapy, screening programs should be developed since early detection improves salvage treatment of these secondary and often morbid tumors.
Exploring Social Support, Sport Participation and Rural Women’s Health using Photovoice: The Manitoba Experience
Authors: Scruby Lynn S. , Rona Hazel A. , Leipert Beverly D. , Mair Heather L. , Snow Wanda M. 
Published: February 2019

Background Health and well-being are multifaceted, with several lifestyle factors contributing (positively or negatively) to one’s health status. Purpose The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the health of rural women in the context of the sport of curling and curling clubs. As part of a national study, this study highlights findings from 17 female participants from two rural communities in Manitoba. Methods Qualitative data were collected using photovoice. Participants were asked to photograph images they felt represented health in the context of the curling rink. Researchers then conducted focus groups in which each participant was asked to choose and discuss two photographs. Results The participants photographed a total of 333 images, which were analyzed using thematic analysis. A total of six main themes emerged from the photographs and transcripts: facilitating social connections, enhancing physical health, promoting mental health, pride in the sport of curling, contributing to personal growth, and promoting gender equality. Conclusion Similar to the national study results, the findings in this study indicate that nurses, particularly community health nurses, as well as policy-makers, local communities, and others need to recognize the value of curling clubs to the health and well-being of rural populations.
Influence of Body Composition and Nutrition Parameters in Handgrip Strength: Are There Differences by Sex in Hemodialysis Patients?
Authors: Garagarza Cristina , Flores Ana Laura , Valente Ana 
Published: February 2019

AbstractBackground: Hemodialysis (HD) patients are vulnerable to multiple metabolic and nutrition derangements, leading to changes in body composition. Handgrip strength (HGS) has been used as a nutrition marker. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between HGS and lean tissue mass (LTM) with several parameters in HD patients and develop HGS predictive equations. Methods: Cross‐sectional study with 155 patients in HD treatment for ≥3 months. Body composition was assessed through bioimpedance spectroscopy. HGS was measured with a hydraulic hand dynamometer. Biochemical parameters were evaluated. Data were analyzed by sex. Results: Ninety‐four were men, and mean age was 64.4 ± 14.7 years. We found positive correlation of HGS with LTM, lean tissue index, and body cell mass and negative correlation between HGS, age, and overhydration in both sexes. Serum albumin level presented a positive correlation and magnesium a negative correlation with HGS only in men. The LTM presented a positive correlation with protein intake, serum albumin level, and body cell mass and a negative correlation with age in both groups. A significant positive correlation with magnesium and a negative correlation with overhydration were observed in men. The predictability of the models was R2 = 0.618 for men and R2 = 0.500 for women. Conclusion: HGS is highly correlated with LTM, and both differ between sexes and are, therefore, differently correlated with the parameters studied. Body composition, overhydration, and some biochemical parameters explain changes in HGS. Predictive models including body composition and biochemical parameters may explain at least 50% of the variance of HGS.

Authors: Meints Samantha M. , Yang Heidi Y. , Collins Jamie E. , Katz Jeffrey N. , Losina Elena 
Published: February 2019

Purpose:To examine differences in physical activity (PA) uptake between black and white employees during a financial incentive-based workplace intervention.Design:Prospective cohort study from July 2014 to June 2015 (NCT02850094).Setting:Tertiary academic medical center.Participants:Forty-three black and 182 white nonclinical employees.Intervention:Participants self-selected or were assigned to teams. Participants completed a 24-week intervention receiving rewards for meeting weekly PA goals (increasing moderate-to-vigorous PA [MVPA] by 10% from previous week or meeting Guidelines threshold of 150 minutes of MVPA).Measures:Outcomes included weekly MVPA in minutes, average daily step counts, number of weeks meeting personal goals and the Guidelines, and Fitbit adherence in days and weeks.Analysis:We performed an analysis of covariance for each outcome, with race as the primary independent variable of interest, adjusting for demographic and health-related covariates.Results:During the intervention, blacks walked 9128 steps per day while whites walked 7826 steps per day, a difference of approximately 1300 steps ( P < .05). Blacks also demonstrated a greater uptake in both steps and MVPA from baseline than did whites, resulting in similar MVPA throughout the intervention.Conclusions:Findings suggest that workplace PA interventions using financial incentives may result in similar engagement in MVPA among white and black employees, while black employees walk more steps during the intervention. Limitations include a primarily white female sample which may not generalize.

Published: February 2019

Purpose: This study focuses on a campus support program that serves former child welfare and homeless youth. This study aims to identify the program elements that help students transition into and succeed in college. Method: This study uses a mixed-method approach. Quantitative data included administrative and survey data of 50 students. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine the effects of early engagement on students’ grade point averages (GPAs). Qualitative data were collected from interviews with 17 students. Thematic content analysis was used to identify themes from the qualitative data. Results: Quantitative data showed positive effects of early engagement on students’ GPAs. Qualitative data showed that students perceived that the campus support program helped them transition into and success in college. Conclusions: Future programs should emphasize providing academic and financial services and engaging students as soon as or even before they enroll into college.
Evaluation of choroidal thickness in amblyopia using optical coherence tomography
Authors: Zha Yi , Zhuang Jinfei , Feng Wangqiang , Zheng Haihua , Cai Jianqiu 
Published: February 2019

Objective: To investigate the choroidal thickness in children with amblyopia through spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Methods: A total of 31 children with unilateral amblyopia and 31 right eyes of controls with normal vision were enrolled in the study. The choroidal thickness was measured directly below the fovea and at 12 other locations: 1, 2 and 3 mm superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal to the fovea. All the parameters were compared between amblyopic eyes, fellow eyes, and control eyes. Results: The mean subfoveal choroidal thickness was 398.03 ± 74.60, 354.13 ± 81.78, and 328.12 ± 65.93 μm in amblyopic eyes, fellow eyes, and control eyes, respectively. Significant difference was found in choroidal thickness among three groups at subfoveal choroidal thickness, N1, and S1 using multivariate analysis of covariance after adjusting for axial length. Significant negative correlation was found only between subfoveal choroidal thickness and axial length in amblyopic eyes (r = –0.463, p = 0.01). Conclusion: The subfoveal choroid is significantly thicker in amblyopic eyes than control eyes only at subfoveal choroidal thickness, N1, and S1. The choroidal thickness was thickest in the subfoveal region and thinnest in the nasal region. There are other changes in choroidal structure associated with amblyopia.
Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease in Michigan: A Rare Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Singh Jeffrey Michael , Shermetaro Carl Bernard 
Published: February 2019

Background: Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD), also known as Histiocytic Necrotizing Lymphadenitis, is a rare cause of prolonged cervical lymphadenopathy in both the pediatric and adult populations. It was first reported in Japan in 1972, and since, this disease has been described worldwide, although most cases have been reported in Asia. The etiology of KFD is not fully understood, although there are 2 theories that are described in detail in this review. Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease typically follows a benign course, with resolution of the lymphadenopathy within 6 months. It is important to recognize KFD as a cause of persistent lymphadenopathy, as it shares many characteristics with and must be differentiated from other causes of lymphadenopathy, including lymphoma, inflammatory disorders, autoimmune conditions, and infectious causes of lymphadenopathy. Case presentation: Here is presented a case of an 11-year-old male who was born in Vietnam, but subsequently adopted and raised in the United States, who presented to a private practice community-based Otolaryngology group. His chief complaint was a persistent neck mass of approximately 3 months duration. He underwent excisional biopsy for suspected lymphoma, but final pathology rendered a diagnosis of KFD. Conclusion: The purpose of this article is not only to review the literature but also to contribute awareness of this entity in the differential diagnosis of persistent lymphadenopathy, especially for the general Otolaryngologist in a community-based setting. In addition, this review would be beneficial for other practitioners as well, specifically Pediatricians, Infectious Disease Physicians, Rheumatologists, Pathologists, and Medical Oncologists.
Acquired arteriovenous fistula formation following cephalic vein intravenous catheterisation in a cat
Authors: Graziano Lisa , Di Paco Stefania , Avallone Giancarlo , Roccabanca Paola 
Published: February 2019

Case summary A 10-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat was presented with a 4 month history of slow, progressive swelling and intermittent multifocal bleeding of the distal right forepaw that progressively developed after cephalic vein catheterisation for anaesthesia. The procedure was performed for dental calculus removal. Initial clinical and biopsy (superficial biopsy) findings matched two differential diagnoses: progressive angiomatosis and acquired peripheral arteriovenous fistula (AVF). AVF was suspected based on Doppler ultrasound examination that identified multiple abnormal sinusoidal neoformed branching vessels with turbulent high-velocity flow spectrum at the confluence of the artery and vein, and high-velocity arterialised flow in the vein. Owing to rapid and severe progression of lesions after biopsy, the owner requested amputation of the cat’s limb. A definitive diagnosis of acquired iatrogenic peripheral AVF was based on deep-tissue microscopical evaluation. High numbers of arterioles and venules in superficial and deep dermis embedded in oedematous stroma were connected to dilated and tortuous vessels with irregularly thickened walls in deep dermis and panniculus. Vasculitis and vascular thrombosis and thickening (attributed to local hypertension) were common findings. No bone or muscular invasion were observed. The cat was doing well 3 years after surgery. Relevance and novel information This report describes a case of iatrogenic acquired peripheral AVF following venous catheterisation in a cat, fully documented for the first time by a combination of clinical findings, ultrasound imaging, complete histopathology and follow-up history.
