The Representation of Francoist Spain by Two British Women Travel Writers
Authors: Mulligan Maureen 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThis article offers a discussion of two books by British women which describe travels in Spain during the post-war period, that is, during the dictatorship of General Franco. The aim is to analyse how Spanish culture and society are represented in these texts, and to what extent the authors engage with questions of the ethics of travelling to Spain in this period. Two different forms of travel - by car, and by horse - also influence the way the travellers can connect with local people; and the individual’s interest in Spain as a historical site, or as a timeless escape from industrial northern Europe, similarly affect the focus of the accounts. The global politics of travel writing, and the distinction between colonial and cosmopolitan travel writers, are important elements in our understanding of the way a foreign culture is articulated for the home market. Women’s travel writing also has its own discursive history which we consider briefly. In conclusion, texts involve common discursive and linguistic strategies which have to negotiate the specificity of an individual’s travels in a particular time and place. The authors and books referred to are Rose Macaulay’s Fabled Shore: From the Pyrenees to Portugal (1949) and Penelope Chetwode’s Two Middle-Aged Ladies in Andalusia (1963).
The (pro)long(ed) life of a “grand narrative”: the case of Internet forum discussions on post-2004 Polish migration to the United Kingdom
Authors: Galasińska Aleksandra , Horolets Anna 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThe latest wave of migration from Poland to the European Union is unprecedented in its scale. The changed economic and political circumstances of migration trigger the changes in the lived experience of migration as well as its perceptions. Yet, the “grand narrative” of economic migration that was a product of migrant experiences in previous epochs has not disappeared in the new circumstances. This article presents the voices in the debate about post-2004 migration that strongly rely on the “grand narrative” and thereby undermine the uniqueness of this wave of migration. Using the corpus containing postings from one of the leading Polish quality daily newspaper's Internet forum (2005–2010) as data, we analyze the macro-topics and argumentative strategies of contemporary articulations of the economic migration “grand narrative.” We suggest that the resilience of the hegemonic narrative of migration is caused by its being enmeshed in the multi-vector logic of post-1989 systemic transformation.
Word (and other) search sequences initiated by language learners
Authors: Koshik Irene , Seo Mi-Suk 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThis study uses a conversation analytic framework to analyze practices by which language learners display that they are searching for language they have not yet fully acquired, i.e., words, word forms, syntactic structure, or pronunciation. Learners can present their solutions with rising intonation as candidate solutions to be confirmed or corrected by another speaker. They can also elicit a specific lexical item by presenting a more general term with rising intonation. When learners receive an ambiguous response to these search turns, they can initiate repair to disambiguate the import of that response in order to pursue linguistic accuracy, even when communication is displayed as otherwise successful. These search sequences therefore display an orientation to language learning, showing how the participants' situated identities as language learner/student and language expert/teacher are contingently constructed and negotiated in and through their talk and other semiotic resources as the local context evolves.
Landscapes of empathy: spatial scenarios, metaphors and metonymies in responses to distant suffering
Authors: Cameron Lynne , Seu Irene Bruna 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThis study re-analyzes focus group data on responses to human rights abuses, to investigate how participants' experiences in their local social and physical worlds influence empathy with distant suffering others.Metaphors, metonymies, narratives, and typifying scenarios were identified in the discourse dynamics. Scenarios, metaphors, and metonymies of space and place emerge as particularly significant in the dialogic co-construction of moral reasoning. Embodied experiences, specifically encounters with people begging in the street, become emblematic of perceived threats to personal space that should feel private and secure. Systematic spatial metaphors construct a landscape of empathic understanding with an optimal distance for empathy, neither too close nor too far. Faced with distant suffering others in prompt materials, participants respond with parallel reasoning on the symbolic landscape. Implications for increasing empathic understanding of distant others are discussed.
Toward a broader understanding of social talk in Web-based courses
Authors: Reneland-Forsman Linda 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThe interactive potential of computer-mediated communication has proved more difficult to realize than expected. This study tries to break away from the normative status of speech underlining computer-mediated communication by asking how social talk is manifested in Web-based learning environments. The asynchronous communication of 55 students during a study period of 18 weeks was examined using mediated discourse analysis. The students were training as pre-school teachers in a four-year program. Their ability to create a group culture seemed significant for how they developed group autonomy and were able to handle unexpected incidents or a loose framing. The communication between the students was in narrative format and was lengthy in character; trust and confidence were dropped off as part of a constant construction of group culture. These students did not adopt or develop known means of compensating for the loss of nonverbal clues. There were indications of sharing private concerns and information from other practices in life as a conditional aspect of participation. When having troubles to cope, it was the youngest students who failed.
Caring about homelessness: how identity work maintains the stigma of homelessness
Authors: Schneider Barbara , Remillard Chaseten 
Published: February 2017

AbstractIn this article we interrogate apparently caring statements about homelessness and homeless people for the ways in which they maintain and perpetuate stigmatizing conceptions of homelessness. Drawing on a Foucauldian theoretical framework, we analyze conversations about homelessness gathered in focus groups with members of the general public. Participants used two strategies to construct positive identities for themselves as people who care about homelessness. They describe actions in which they helped specific homeless people, and they describe homeless people as “just like me.” Paradoxically, these statements tap into and reproduce long-standing conceptions of homeless people as culpable for their state, incapable of correcting that state, and in need of proper management and control for their own good. They also divide homeless people into the equally stigmatizing categories of deserving and undeserving poor. Our analysis is in contrast to the traditional literature on stigma, which uses large-scale surveys and experiments to show that negative attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors have stigmatizing potential and assumes that positive attitudes will lead to stigma reduction. We show that caring statements about homelessness and homeless people embed discursive practices that reinforce stigmatizing conceptions of homelessness and maintain existing social inequalities.

Research paper. New and Rare Macrolepidoptera (Insecta) from Romanian Dobrogea (South-East Romania)
Authors: Székely Levente 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
This study represents a synthesis of recent faunistical results (2012-2015), regarding the Macrolepidoptera of Dobrogea (south-eastern Romania) (Fig. 1A). Records of species of great faunistical and zoogeographical importance for the Romanian fauna are included. Eublemma porphyrina (Freyer, 1844) is reported for the first time in the Romanian fauna. The presence of several species known in the country based exclusively on very old records is confirmed (e.g. Dryobotodes carbonis (F. Wagner, 1831), Eremodrina pertinax (Staudinger, 1879), Zekelita antiqualis (Hübner, [1809])). Certain rare species with few records are also presented, such as Catopta thrips (Hübner, 1818), Sphingonaepiopsis gorgoniades (Hübner, 1819), Grammodes bifasciata (Petagna, 1787), Clytie syriaca (Bugnion, 1837), Symira dentinosa Freyer, 1839, Chazaria incarnata (Freyer, 1838), Protarchanara brevilinea (Fenn, 1864), Polymixis rufocincta (Geyer, [1828]), Gortyna cervago Eversmann, 1844, Dichagyris melanura (Kollar, 1846), Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) admetus (Esper, 1783), Libythea celtis (Laicharting in Fuessly, 1782), Kirinia roxelana (Cramer, 1777), etc. Several Macrolepidoptera species recorded for the first time in Dobrogea are also included, eg: Hyloicus pinastri (Linnaeus, 1758), Cyclophora quercimontaria (Bastelberger, 1897), Perconia strigillaria (Hübner, 1787), Dryobotodes carbonis (F. Wagner, 1831), Meganephria bimaculosa (Linnaeus, 1767), Cerastis leucographa ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Noctua janthe (Borkhausen, 1792). There are 602 Macrolepidoptera species listed in this work. The studied localities have not been, or have been only little investigated previously in terms of Lepidoptera fauna, eg: Creasta Cardonului-Hamcearca, Enisala (Tulcea County), Fântâniţa-Murfatlar, Allah Bair Hill, Esechioi Forest, Oltina, Şipotele (Constanţa County). The study also includes aspects of zoogeography, invasive species, protection of habitats and protection of endangered species.

Abstract
Three new bioactive metabolites, 1,6-dihydroxy- 2-methyl-heptan-4-one (1), 4-hydroxy-1-(2-methyl-oxiranyl)- pentan-2-one (2), and 2-(2-hydroxy-propyl)-4-methylfuran- 3-carboxylic acid amide (3) were isolated from the terrestrial Streptomyces sp. isolate ANK245, along with the new microbial constituent p-vinylanisol (4a) and the known metabolites p-vinyl-phenol (4b) and phenethyl alcohol. Analysis of the nonpolar part of the extract by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) provided further evidence for tetradecanoic acid, 9-octadecenoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol (4c), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde, o-hydroxybiphenyl, and 1,5,9-trimethyl-4,8,13-cyclotetradecatrien-1,3-diol (5). Structures 1–3 of the new compounds were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and NMR spectroscopy, but mass spectrometry (MS) techniques and their absolute configuration were determined by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and Mosher derivatisation. Their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities were evaluated in comparison with the crude bacterial extract.

Abstract
Delisle-Houde, P, Reid, RER, Insogna, JA, Prokop, NW, Buchan, TA, Fontaine, SL, and Andersen, RE. Comparing DXA and air-displacement-plethysmography to assess body composition of male collegiate hockey players. J Strength Cond Res 33(2): 474–478, 2019—Accurate assessment of body composition is an important consideration for athletes because it is a health/performance variable. However, little is known about the variability in values obtained across different assessment methods for specific athlete populations. The purpose of this study was to compare 2 common laboratory methods that assess body composition: air displacement plethysmography (BOD POD) and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Twenty-nine male collegiate hockey players, (Age = 24.07 ± 1.49, BMI = 26.5 ± 2.74) participated in this study. All participants underwent back-to-back BOD POD and DXA evaluations. Paired t-tests and Bland–Altman analyses were performed to compare differences in fat mass, fat percentage, and fat-free mass between methods. Average fat percentage reported by the DXA and BOD POD was 15.34 ± 3.53 and 11.66 ± 4.82 respectively, resulting in a bias score of 3.78 ± 2.33 kg (t(28) = 8.71, p ≤ 0.001). Average fat mass reported by the DXA and BOD POD was 13.42 ± 3.59 and 10.15 ± 4.54 kg respectively, resulting in a bias score of 3.27 ± 1.92 kg (t(28) = 9.18, p ≤ 0.001). Average fat-free mass reported by the DXA and BOD POD was 73.31 ± 5.30 and 76.25 ± 5.74 kg respectively, resulting in a bias score of −2.93 ± 2.06 kg (t(28) = −7.66, p ≤ 0.001). Our findings can help make more insightful comparisons between studies that use different body composition methodologies among athletic populations.
MicroRNA‐independent functions of DGCR8 are essential for neocortical development and TBR1 expression

Published: February 2017

AbstractRecent evidence indicates that the miRNA biogenesis factors DROSHA, DGCR8, and DICER exert non‐overlapping functions, and have also roles in miRNA‐independent regulatory mechanisms. However, it is currently unknown whether miRNA‐independent functions of DGCR8 play any role in the maintenance of neuronal progenitors and during corticogenesis. Here, by phenotypic comparison of cortices from conditional Dgcr8 and Dicer knockout mice, we show that Dgcr8 deletion, in contrast to Dicer depletion, leads to premature differentiation of neural progenitor cells and overproduction of TBR1‐positive neurons. Remarkably, depletion of miRNAs upon DCGR8 loss is reduced compared to DICER loss, indicating that these phenotypic differences are mediated by miRNA‐independent functions of DGCR8. We show that Dgcr8 mutations induce an earlier and stronger phenotype in the developing nervous system compared to Dicer mutants and that miRNA‐independent functions of DGCR8 are critical for corticogenesis. Finally, our data also suggest that the Microprocessor complex, with DROSHA and DGCR8 as core components, directly regulates the Tbr1 transcript, containing evolutionarily conserved hairpins that resemble miRNA precursors, independently of miRNAs.
Inhaled Corticosteroids and Respiratory Infections in Children With Asthma: A Meta-analysis
Authors: Cazeiro Cristine , Silva Cristina , Mayer Susana , Mariany Vanessa , Wainwright Claire Elizabeth , Zhang Linjie 
Published: February 2017

CONTEXT:
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are associated with an increased risk of pneumonia in adult patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association between ICS use and risk of pneumonia and other respiratory infections in children with asthma.

DATA SOURCES:
We searched PubMed from inception until May 2015. We also searched clinicaltrials.gov and databases of pharmaceutical manufacturers.

STUDY SELECTION:
We selected randomized trials that compared ICS with placebo for at least 4 weeks in children with asthma.

DATA EXTRACTION:
We included 39 trials, of which 31 trials with 11 615 patients contributed data to meta-analyses.

RESULTS:
The incidence of pneumonia was 0.58% (44/7465) in the ICS group and 1.51% (63/4150) in the placebo group. The meta-analysis of 9 trials that revealed at least 1 event of pneumonia revealed a reduced risk of pneumonia in patients taking ICS (risk ratio [RR]: 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44 to 0.94). Using risk difference as effect measure, the meta-analysis including all 31 trials revealed no significant difference in the risk of pneumonia between the ICS and placebo groups (risk difference: –0.1%; 95% CI: –0.3% to 0.2%). No significant association was found between ICS and risk of pharyngitis (RR: 1.01; 95% CI: 0.87 to 1.18), otitis media (RR: 1.07; 95% CI: 0.83 to 1.37), and sinusitis (RR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.76 to 1.05).

LIMITATIONS:
Lack of clearly defined criteria for respiratory infections and possible publication bias.

CONCLUSIONS:
Regular use of ICS may not increase the risk of pneumonia or other respiratory infections in children with asthma.

Base Nacional Comum Curricular: apontamentos crítico-clínicos e um trampolim
Authors: Corazza Sandra Mara 
Published: February 2017

Este artigo realiza o esforço de constituir movimentos de análise crítica e de interlocução clínica, no espaço-tempo da Base Nacional Comum Curricular, tal como esta foi exposta em primeira versão destinada à consulta pública (2015- 2016). Movimentos críticos-clínicos, que parecem necessários para acompanhar os enigmáticos deslocamentos e rearranjos, pelos quais passam o país, o mundo, o capital, o trabalho, as relações, a educação. Por meio de uma analítica genealógico-nietzschiana, problematiza o quadrilátero conceitual-operatório da Base; releva suas figuras e o artifício fabulatório que lhe dá sustentação; indica 16 questionamentos a seus elementos constituintes. Conclui pela proposição de pensar e sentir a Base Nacional Comum Curricular, como abertura democrática para a formulação de novos problemas antes do que soluções e como um trampolim para currículos que emerjam do dia-a-dia da docência, levando os professores a se tornarem, outra vez, os seus autores.

Published: February 2017

Objetivo: Avaliar, através de uma revisão de literatura, os efeitos da terapia manual sobre a dor em mulheres com fibromialgia (FM).Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada nas bases de dados Pubmed, Lilacs, PEDro e Scielo, selecionando ensaios clínicos ou estudos quase experimental, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, que objetivassem avaliar os efeitos da terapia manual sobre a dor em mulheres com FM. As palavras-chave e os operadores boleanos utilizados foram: “Musculoskeletal Manipulations OR manual therapy AND Fibromyalgia”.Resultados: De um total de 133 artigos encontrados, 9 deles foram selecionados para inclusão final no presente estudo. Desses, grande parte (55,5%) dos estudos foram realizados no continente Europeu e apenas um foi conduzido na população brasileira. O tamanho amostral dos artigos variou de 12 a 86 indivíduos entre cada grupo estudado, sendo que 8 (88,8%) deles utilizaram os critérios do Colégio Americano de Reumatologia para diagnóstico clínico da FM. As técnicas mais utilizadas foram à liberação miofascial (33,3%), a massagem de tecido conjuntivo (22,2%) e a drenagem linfática manual (22,2%), sendo que a duração total do tratamento oscilou entre 3 e 20 semanas. Todos os estudos verificaram melhora da dor através das técnicas de terapia manual, com efeitos positivos também sobre os sintomas de ansiedade, sono, função física e qualidade de vida.Conclusão: Os achados da presente revisão demonstram que as técnicas de terapia manual parecem benéficas para o tratamento da dor em mulheres portadoras de FM.

Published: February 2017

Introdução: A desnutrição energético-proteica é frequente em pacientes com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise e medidas alternativas para a avaliação do estado nutricional e do consumo alimentar podem ser empregadas na prática clínica.Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre o consumo energético e proteico e a espessura do músculo adutor do polegar em pacientes em hemodiálise.Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal com 33 pacientes com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise. Foi aplicado um questionário para a identificação do perfil sociodemográfico dos pacientes. A ingestão de energia e de proteínas foi avaliada pela aplicação de dois recordatórios de 24 horas. A espessura do músculo adutor do polegar foi aferida com auxílio de um adipômetro. A associação entre as variáveis foi avaliada por meio de testes paramétricos, análise de correlação, regressão linear e curva ROC.Resultados: A média de idade da amostra em estudo correspondeu a 68,0 anos, sendo 54,5% do sexo masculino. Pacientes com idade inferior a 60 anos e do sexo masculino apresentaram uma maior espessura do músculo adutor do polegar (p=0,01). Não houve associação entre a espessura do músculo adutor do polegar e o consumo energético e proteico. A medida também não é capaz de indicar quais pacientes apresentam uma maior ingestão de energia e proteínas.Conclusão: Em pacientes com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise não houve associação entre o consumo energético e proteico e a espessura do músculo adutor do polegar e nem eficácia da medida em predizer uma maior ingestão de energia e proteínas.

Published: February 2017

ZusammenfassungBei einem 9 Jahre alten Yorkshire Terrier wurde eine echte Zyste des respiratorischen Epithels im Nasopharynx diagnostiziert. Die zur Dyspnoe führende, vollständige Verlegung des Nasopharynx wurde mittels Computertomographie und Endoskopie nachgewiesen. Es erfolgte eine minimalinvasive Ablation der Zystenwand unter endoskopischer Kontrolle mit anschließender histopathologischer Untersuchung. Unmittelbar nach der Zystenresektion war die klinische Symptomatik nicht mehr vorhanden. Der Therapieerfolg wurde 3 Monate postoperativ durch unauffällige endoskopische Befunde bestätigt. Im vorliegenden Fall stellte die minimalinvasive, endoskopisch durchgeführte Ablation der Zystenwand ein erfolgreiches Therapieverfahren dar.
