Los Estudios de la India en Latinoamérica. Desarrollo, integración y perspectivas futuras
Authors: Martino Gabriel , Ossa Julio César 
Published: August 2016

La publicación en América Latina de un número monográfico sobre Estudios de la India es un fenómeno académico con una significación sociológica y política muy interesante. Es evidencia del encuentro entre dos regiones periféricas respecto de los centros científicos y académicos mainstream más prestigiosos de Europa y de Norteamérica. Es cierto que si bien tal encuentro procura la producción y promoción propia (y colaborativa) de conocimiento no carece de signos de dependencia académica respecto de los mencionados centros. Un relevamiento de la bibliografía utilizada por los especialistas que participan de nuestro número puede brindarnos una noción del grado de tal dependencia. No obstante, este encuentro también es un claro índice de la voluntad y de la capacidad de nuestras regiones para el establecimiento de vínculos académicos bilaterales. Sin negar, entonces, la profunda influencia que las agendas y las metodologías características de los circuitos académicos centrales ejercen sobre esta clase de trabajos, creemos que instancias como el presente número monográfico pueden dar lugar a nuevas maneras de encarar las investigaciones mediante la definición de objetivos, estándares, metodologías y representaciones definidas por las necesidades y las perspectivas propias de los centros involucrados en el diálogo.

[Full article is in Spanish]English:
This article analyzes differences between genders/sexes (female and male) in contexts of structural violence such as those found in prison—the cell, shared spaces (the courtyard) and modules as living spaces where women deprived of freedom construct and adapt their lives on a daily basis. The research presents the results of a survey on 538 women prisoners as part of a national project carried out in Spain. This sample represents approximately 15% of the Spanish female prison population. Some conclusions lead us to highlight prison life, routines that encourage drug consumption and the perception of feeling undervalued institutionally. These women perceive that men receive better treatment in both cells/rooms and modules, while they believe that they are getting better treatment in common spaces such as the courtyard.Spanish:

Influencing consumer engagement in online customer communities: The role of interactivity
Authors: Mpinganjira Mercy 
Published: August 2016

Purpose: The purpose of this article was to investigate consumer engagement in online customer communities and the influence of interactivity on it. A conceptual model linking different dimensions of interactivity and consumer engagement was proposed and tested.Rationale: The ability of managers to ensure high levels of consumer engagement depends on them gaining a good understanding of the concept, its manifestations in their context, as well as factors that influence it. This article aims at contributing to this understanding in the context of online customer communities.Methodology: The article followed a quantitative research approach. Data were collected from 303 members of online customer communities based in Gauteng, South Africa. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypotheses proposed in the article.Findings and implications: The results showed that system-related dimensions of interactivity and human interactivity are positively associated with consumer psychological engagement. Psychological engagement was in turn found to be positively associated with behavioural engagement. The findings point to the need for managers to pay attention to system and human related interactivity if they are to influence consumer engagement levels on their sites.Originality and value of research: Little research exists on consumer engagement, resulting in limited understanding of the concept as well as its antecedents. Focusing on online customer communities, this article contributes to addressing this gap in literature. Managers of online customer communities can use the findings to monitor levels of consumer engagement on their sites and find ways of enhancing it.
“Wall of Words”: Fakir Mohan Senapati, Premchand, and The Language Controversies in Late Colonial India
Authors: Satpathy Sumanyu 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Linguistic controversies in one particular region of India often get treated as discrete units, as if such controversies have never had any bearing on other languages and regions in the subcontinent. I attempt a corrective to such insular approaches by juxtaposing various linguistic identity-based struggles in nineteenth-century India to demonstrate that there are several common players who operate across various linguistic zones and who are often inconsistent in their views and analyses. This essay examines the various linguistic controversies by organizing them along three broad axes with overlaps: the specialist, the instrumentalist, and the literary. The first set of controversies was conducted in jargon-ridden scholarship within newly emerged disciplinary practices such as philology, pedagogy, and linguistics. The secondary set of controversies was the concerns of intellectuals, missionaries, educationists, and scholars who were engaged in discharging juridical–administrative responsibilities. At the tertiary level, the controverters comprised the practitioners of literary culture. The essay shows how the cultural expressions within different linguistic groups inherit and share these derivative discourses while employing linguistic strategies as part of their linguistic–identitarian aesthetics. The essay, finally, argues for a need to evolve a more integrative methodology to “do” comparative literature in South Asia.
A Space For Debate: Fashioning the Urdu Novel in Colonial India
Authors: Dubrow Jennifer 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The novel emerged in South Asia not as an import from Europe, but rather as the product of multiple sources and as a genre capable of fulfilling a distinct function. I argue that the novel as a genre arose in colonial India because of its ability to hold divergent points of view and to subtly critique the British government. I focus on two early Urdu novels, Nazir Ahmad's Mirāt ul-'Arūs (1869) (The Bride's Mirror) and Ratan Nath Sarshar's Fasāna-e Āzād (1878–1883) (The Tale of Azad), to examine how novelists used techniques such as the contrasting character pair to explore irreconcilable problems under colonial rule. I uncover how Fasāna-e Āzād drew from the earlier Indo-Persian and Urdu genre of the romance (dāstān) in its use of contrasting character pairs, reimagining the technique to carve out a space for debate and critique in the novel. This strategy represents one of the ways that early vernacular-language novelists fashioned the novel genre as a form uniquely suited to engaging with the challenges and contradictions of the colonial period.
Dialectics and Caste: Rethinking Dalit Life-Writings in the Vernacular, Comparing Dalit Narratives
Authors: Chatterjee Sreya 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Caste has emerged as one of contemporary India's most explosive issues, with the advent of majoritarian nationalism along with neoliberal globalization. While Indian English writing with its focus on the middle-class, upper-caste citizen-subject has garnered substantial attention in the global literary market, Dalit literature, especially in the vernacular languages has remained in the shadows. The representation of “personhood” in Dalit “life-writing” offers an effective counterpoint to dominant Anglophone or postcolonial cultural production. I explore Marathi writer Laxman Gaikwad's Uchlaya (1987) (The Branded [1998]) and the more recently published Manoranjan Byapari's Bengali-language Itibritte Chandal Jiban (2013) (History of a Corpse-Handler's Life) as narratives of Dalit self-articulation that mount a formal and thematic critique of nationalist culture and its male, upper-caste, normative subject.
The effect of channel deepening on tides and storm surge: A case study of Wilmington, NC
Authors: Familkhalili R. , Talke S. A. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractIn this study we investigate the hypothesis that increasing channel depth in estuaries can amplify both tides and storm surge by developing an idealized numerical model representing the 1888, 1975, and 2015 bathymetric conditions of the Cape Fear River Estuary, NC. Archival tide gauge data recovered from the U.S. National Archives indicates that mean tidal range in Wilmington has doubled to 1.55 m since the 1880s, with a much smaller increase of 0.07 m observed near the ocean boundary. These tidal changes are reproduced by simulating channel depths of 7 m (1888 condition) and 15.5 m (modern condition). Similarly, model sensitivity studies using idealized, parametric tropical cyclones suggest that the storm surge in the worst‐case, CAT‐5 event may have increased from 3.8 ± 0.25 m to 5.6 ± 0.6 m since the nineteenth century. The amplification in both tides and storm surge is influenced by reduced hydraulic drag caused by greater mean depths.
Deformation and faulting of subduction overriding plate caused by a subducted seamount
Authors: Ding Min , Lin Jian 
Published: August 2016

AbstractWe conducted numerical experiments to simulate elastoplastic deformation of the overriding plate caused by a subducted seamount. Calculations revealed development of a distinct pair of fault‐like shear zones, including a landward dipping forethrust fault initiated from the seamount top and a seaward dipping backthrust fault from the landward base of the seamount. Significant dome‐shaped surface uplift was predicted above the thrust faults. Lesser‐developed seaward dipping backthrust faults were calculated to develop under certain conditions. The overriding plate was calculated to deform in two stages: In Stage I, elastic deformation leads to the formation of fault‐like shear zones. After major faults have cut through the entire plate, plastic deformation on faults dominates Stage II. On the subduction interface, compressional normal stress was calculated to increase on the landward leading flank of the seamount and decrease on the seaward trailing flank. These changes, together with associated stress singularities at seamount edges, could affect earthquake processes.
Magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause: Advances with MMS
Authors: Burch J. L. , Phan T. D. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractMagnetic reconnection is known to be an important process for coupling solar wind mass and momentum into the Earth's magnetosphere. Reconnection is initiated in an electron‐scale dissipation/diffusion region around an X line, but its consequences are large scale. While past experimental efforts have advanced our understanding of ion‐scale physics and the consequences of magnetic reconnection, much higher spatial and temporal resolutions are needed to understand the electron‐scale processes that cause reconnection. The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission was implemented to probe the electron scale of reconnection. This article reports on results from the first scan of the dayside magnetopause with MMS. Specifically, we introduce a new event involving the radial traversal of guide‐field reconnection to illustrate features of reconnection physics on the electron scale.
The record‐breaking 2015 hurricane season in the eastern North Pacific: An analysis of environmental conditions

Published: August 2016

AbstractThe presence of a near‐record El Niño and a positive Pacific Meridional Mode provided an extraordinarily warm background state that fueled the 2015 eastern North Pacific hurricane season to near‐record levels. We find that the western portion of the eastern North Pacific, referred to as the Western Development Region (WDR; 10°–20°N, 116°W–180°), set records for named storms, hurricane days, and Accumulated Cyclone Energy in 2015. When analyzing large‐scale environmental conditions, we show that record warm sea surface temperatures, high midlevel relative humidity, high low‐level relative vorticity, and record low vertical wind shear were among the environmental forcing factors contributing to the observed tropical cyclone activity. We assess how intraseasonal atmospheric variability may have contributed to active and inactive periods observed during the 2015 hurricane season. We document that, historically, active seasons are associated with May–June El Niño conditions, potentially allowing for predictability of future active WDR seasons.

Published: August 2016

The characterization and improvement of a rectangular channel electrolyte flow compartment used in an iron‐air flow battery was carried out by using an arrangement of copper electrodes to measure the current density distribution employing the limiting current technique. The present work addresses the hydrodynamics and mass transport distribution in the compartment and their improvement by an improved electrolyte compartment that results in a more uniform current distribution. The current distribution was evaluated as the ratio between the local and the averaged limiting current densities during the reduction of copper ions over a range of mean linear flow velocity across the electrode surface (2–30 cm s−1). The initial compartment, showed larger differences between the minimum and maximum currents than the electrolyte compartment that resulted as part of the design process and showed a higher pressure drop at a given mean linear flow velocity. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 63: 1144–1151, 2017
Traumatic Stress Among Seriously Delinquent Youth: Considering the Consequences of Neighborhood Circumstance
Authors: Jaggers Jeremiah W. , Prattini Robert J. , Church Wesley T. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractMyriad factors have been found to have an impact on delinquent behavior and traumatic stress. This study proposes a model that tests the relationship between common predictors of delinquency (neighborhood condition, antisocial peer socialization, and exposure to violence) with traumatic stress. Serial mediation was used to test the relationships between these predictors and traumatic stress. Results indicate the mediation effect between neighborhood conditions and traumatic stress significantly reduces the total effect. Implications for traumatic stress in the context of delinquent behavior are discussed.

Published: August 2016

BackgroundMiddle turbinate edema could be a characteristic feature of aeroallergen sensitization. In this study we sought to determine the diagnostic characteristics of middle turbinate edema as a marker of inhalant allergy.MethodsA cross‐sectional diagnostic study was performed on patients who had undergone nasal endoscopy and allergy testing. Allergy status was determined by positive serology or epicutaneous testing. Endoscopy was reviewed by blinded assessors for middle turbinate head edema. Appearance was graded as either normal, focal, multifocal, diffuse, or polypoid edema. Receiver‐operator (ROC) analysis, likelihood ratio (LR), sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value (PPV) were determined.ResultsOne hundred eighty‐seven patients representing 304 nasal cavities were assessed (42% female, age 39.74 ± 14.7 years, 57% allergic). Diffuse edema (PPV 91.7%/LR = 8) and polypoid edema (PPV 88.9%/LR = 6.2) demonstrated the strongest association with inhalant allergy. Multifocal edema was used as a cut‐off to represent inhalant allergy from ROC analysis, which demonstrated 94.7% specificity and 23.4% sensitivity. The PPV for multifocal was 85.1% and LR = 4.4.ConclusionMiddle turbinate edema is a useful nasal endoscopic feature to predict presence of inhalant allergy and, although not sensitive, has excellent PPV.
CuxCo1−xO Nanoparticles on Graphene Oxide as A Synergistic Catalyst for High‐Efficiency Hydrolysis of Ammonia–Borane

Published: August 2016

AbstractAmmonia–borane (AB) is an excellent material for chemical storage of hydrogen. However, the practical utilization of AB for production of hydrogen is hindered by the need of expensive noble metal‐based catalysts. Here, we report CuxCo1−xO nanoparticles (NPs) facilely deposited on graphene oxide (GO) as a low‐cost and high‐performance catalyst for the hydrolysis of AB. This hybrid catalyst exhibits an initial total turnover frequency (TOF) value of 70.0 (H2) mol/(Cat‐metal) mol⋅min, which is the highest TOF ever reported for noble metal‐free catalysts, and a good stability keeping 94 % activity after 5 cycles. Synchrotron radiation‐based X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) investigations suggested that the high catalytic performance could be attributed to the interfacial interaction between CuxCo1−xO NPs and GO. Moreover, the catalytic hydrolysis mechanism was studied by in situ XAS experiments for the first time, which reveal a significant water adsorption on the catalyst and clearly confirm the interaction between AB and the catalyst during hydrolysis.
Regioselective Amine–Borane Cyclization: Towards the Synthesis of 1,2‐BN‐3‐Cyclohexene by Copper‐Assisted Triazole/Gold Catalysis
Authors: Motika Stephen E. , Wang Qiaoyi , Akhmedov Novruz G. , Wojtas Lukasz , Shi Xiaodong 
Published: August 2016

AbstractThe combination of triazole/gold (TA‐Au) and Cu(OTf)2 is identified as the optimal catalytic system for promoting intramolecular hydroboration for the synthesis of a six‐membered cyclic amine–borane. Excellent yields (up to 95 %) and regioselectivities (5‐exo vs. 6‐endo) were achieved through catalyst control and sequential dilution. Good functional‐group tolerance was attained, thus allowing the preparation of highly functionalized cyclic amine–borane substrates, which could not be achieved using other methods. Deuterium‐labeling studies support the involvement of a hydride addition to a gold‐activated alkyne with subsequent C−B bond formation.
A Potassium Diboryllithate: Synthesis, Bonding Properties, and the Deprotonation of Benzene

Published: August 2016

AbstractA potassium diboryllithate (B2LiK) was synthesized and structurally characterized. DFT calculations, including NPA and AIM analyses of B2LiK, revealed ionic interactions between the two bridging boryl anions and Li+and K+. Upon standing in benzene, B2LiK deprotonated the solvent to form a hydroborane and a phenylborane. On the basis of DFT calculations, a detailed reaction mechanism, involving deprotonation and hydride/phenyl exchange processes, is proposed. An NBO analysis of the transition state for the deprotonation of benzene suggests that the deprotonation should be induced by the coordination of benzene to the K+.

AbstractDie Synthese von Strophasterol A, einem Moderator des Stresses des endoplasmatischen Retikulums (ER‐Stress) in der Alzheimer‐Krankheit und erstem Vertreter einer neuartigen Klasse von Secosterolen, gelang unter Anwendung eines Schrittes aus dessen vermuteter Biosynthese sowie zweier C‐H‐Oxidationen. Die Analyse der Intermediate unter Gesichtspunkten ihrer inhärenten Reaktivität ermöglichte es weiterhin, eine neuartige Synthese eines α‐Chlor‐γ‐hydroxy‐δ‐ketoenons sowie seine Verwendung in einer vinylogen α‐Ketol‐Umlagerung hin zu einer δ‐Ketocarbonsäure zu identifizieren.

Published: August 2016

AbstractIn this work an improved stable isotope labeling protocol for nucleic acids is introduced. The novel building blocks eliminate/minimize homonuclear 13C and 1H scalar couplings thus allowing proton relaxation dispersion (RD) experiments to report accurately on the chemical exchange of nucleic acids. Using site‐specific 2H and 13C labeling, spin topologies are introduced into DNA and RNA that make 1H relaxation dispersion experiments applicable in a straightforward manner. The novel RNA/DNA building blocks were successfully incorporated into two nucleic acids. The A‐site RNA was previously shown to undergo a two site exchange process in the micro‐ to millisecond time regime. Using proton relaxation dispersion experiments the exchange parameters determined earlier could be recapitulated, thus validating the proposed approach. We further investigated the dynamics of the cTAR DNA, a DNA transcript that is involved in the viral replication cycle of HIV‐1. Again, an exchange process could be characterized and quantified. This shows the general applicablility of the novel labeling scheme for 1H RD experiments of nucleic acids.
