“O Mother / how must you have felt?” Mary in Spiritual Poetry of the Baroque Era as Exemplified by Johann Rist and Friedrich Spee (“O Mutter/ wie war Dir zumuht?” Maria in der geistlichen Dichtung der Barockzeit am Beispiel von Johann Rist und Friedrich Spee)
Authors: Heintzsch Sabrina 
Published: April 2017

The Virgin Mary is important for both Catholic and Lutheran seventeenth century religious poetry. However, spiritual poetry differs significantly regarding the role attributed to Mary. In Catholic poems, first and foremost, Mary is a moral example of her faith and compassion for Jesus Christ. This is exemplified by Mary’s agony juxtaposed to the suffering of Christ on the Cross. In comparison, Lutheran poets describe Mary as an example of the promise that God chooses the inferior so that the sinners may trust in God’s grace. This article shows the confessional similarities as well as the differences regarding the interpretation of Mary by analyzing religious poetry of Johann Rist and Friedrich Spee.
Die Jungfrau Maria ist für die katholische wie lutherische geistliche Dichtung des 17. Jahrhunderts von Bedeutung. Die Konfessionen weisen aber deutliche Unterschiede auf, was die Deutung der Rolle Marias betrifft. In der katholischen Dichtung wird Maria vornehmlich als moralisches Vorbild hinsichtlich ihres Glaubens und ihres Mitleidens mit Christus dargestellt. Dies zeigt sich etwa, wenn Marias Leid mit dem Leiden Christi am Kreuz parallelisiert wird. Dagegen deuten lutherische Dichter Maria vor allem als ein Vorbild für die Zusage, dass Gott das Niedrige erwählt und so der Sünder wie sie auf Gottes Gnade vertrauen darf. Der Beitrag zeigt sowohl die konfessionellen Analogien als auch Differenzen in der Deutung Marias exemplarisch anhand der geistlichen Dichtung Johann Rists und Friedrich Spees.
“To Meddle with Matters of State” (“To Meddle with Matters of State”)
Authors: Ketterer Christoph 
Published: April 2017

Preachers in Restoration England carved out a space for the expression of political counsel and criticism towards those in power. Using sermons at the court of Charles ii (1660–1685), this article shows how they intervened in questions of ecclesiastical policy and how they supported and shaped the representation of monarchy through moral criticism. It puts forward the thesis that the official preachers of the Church of England were not merely voices of admonishment but active participants in political discourse.
Der Aufsatz untersucht, wie sich Prediger im England der Restaurationszeit Raum für die Äußerung von politischem Rat und Kritik erarbeiteten. Am Beispiel von Predigten am Hof Karls II. (reg. 1660–1685) wird gezeigt, wie durch Predigten in (kirchen-)politische Debatten eingegriffen wurde und wie sie durch moralische Kritik bestimmte Repräsentationsarten des Königtums unterstützen und gleichzeitig mitgestalteten. In dieser Hinsicht sind, so die These des Aufsatzes, gerade die Prediger der anglikanischen Staatskirche nicht nur Wächter und Mahner, sondern direkte Akteure in der politischen Debatte.
Between the Lines of a Reformed Engraving by Hendrick Goltzius (Zwischen den Linien einer reformierten Druckgrafik: Hendrick Goltzius’ Moses mit den Gesetzestafeln (1583))
Authors: Tolstichin Elena 
Published: April 2017

Why did Hendrick Goltzius use three Roman Catholic engravings for the design of his Reformed Moses with the Tables of the Law (1583)? This article seeks to answer that question by analyzing the adaptation of the engravings. It shows the artist’s endeavor of creating a Reformed Protestant engraving and legitimizing his art and method through the Scriptures. Furthermore, explanations for Goltzius’s use of his models will be presented, while one of them identifies the reference to a specific engraving as a strategy of artistic subversion.
Der vorliegende Beitrag geht der Frage nach, warum gerade drei katholische Stiche Hendrick Goltzius beim Entwurf der reformierten Druckgrafik Moses mit den Gesetzestafeln (1583) als Vorlagen dienten. Dafür wird zunächst deren Adaption analysiert. Hierbei wird deutlich, dass der Künstler sich um die Gestaltung eines reformierten Stichs bemüht und gleichzeitig seine Technik und Kunst biblisch legitimiert. Anschließend werden Erklärungen für die Verwendung von Vorlagen vorgestellt, darunter eine, die in dem Rekurs auf einen der drei Stiche eine subversive künstlerische Strategie erkennt.
“Very Nice and Highly Pleasing” (Goethe) (“Sehr schön und erfreulich” (Goethe))
Authors: Döpp Siegmar 
Published: April 2017

Goethe discusses his recent reading in a letter dated the 30th of July 1816: “Lateinisches Gedicht von Camerarius auf die Wasser von Plombieres, sehr schön und erfreulich” [“A Latin poem by Camerarius about the spa at Plombières; very nice and highly pleasing”]. Previous research has assumed that Goethe was referring to the elegy Plumbaria in which Joachim Camerarius (1500–1574) bemoans a bout of ill health and asks God to rid him of it. However, Camerarius composed a second poem – De thermis Plumbarijs (145 hendecasyllables) – about Plombières, in which he sketches a detailed and colourful account of life at this spa resort. This essay argues that Goethe’s remark refers to this latter poem. Following a reproduction of the original Latin text and a German translation, the essay presents an analysis of its content and form, which appear to have elicited such animated acclaim from Goethe.
In einem Brief vom 30. Juli 1816 schreibt Goethe über seine Lektüre: “Lateinisches Gedicht von Camerarius auf die Wasser von Plombieres, sehr schön und erfreulich”. In der bisherigen Forschung wird angenommen, dass die Elegie Plumbaria gemeint ist, in der Joachim Camerarius (1500–1574) über eine Krankheit klagt und Gott um Heilung bittet. Camerarius hat jedoch noch ein zweites Gedicht über Plombières verfasst, eine überaus detallierte und farbige Schilderung des dortigen Badetreibens: De thermis Plumbarijs (145 Elfsilbler). In dem Aufsatz plädiere ich dafür, dass Goethes Bemerkung sich auf diese Verse bezieht. Auf eine Wiedergabe des lateinischen Texts und eine Übersetzung folgt eine Analyse von Gehalt und Form des Gedichts, die allem Anschein nach Goethes lebhaften Beifall gefunden haben.

Published: April 2017

AbstractA method for direct normal irradiance (DNI) forecasting for specific sites is proposed. It is based on the combination of a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model, which provides cloud information, with radiative transfer simulations fed with external aerosol forecasts. The NWP model used is the ECMWF Integrated Forecast System, and the radiative transfer information has been obtained from the Library of Radiative Transfer (libRadtran). Two types of aerosol forecasts have been tested: the global Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate (MACC) model, which predicts five major components of aerosols, and the Dust Regional Atmospheric Model (BSC-DREAM8b) added to a fixed background calculated as the 20th percentile of the monthly mean of AERONET 2.0 observations from a different year. The methodology employed is valid for all meteorological situations, providing a stable and continuous DNI curve. The performance of the combined method has been evaluated against DNI observations and compared with the pure ECMWF forecasts at eight locations in the southern half of mainland Spain and the Canary Islands, which received high loadings of African dust for 2013 and 2014. Results for 1-day forecasts are presented. Although clouds play a major role, aerosols have a significant effect, but at shorter time scales. The combination of ECMWF and MACC forecasts gives the best global results, improving the DNI forecasts in events with high aerosol content. The regional BSC-DREAM8b yields good results for some extremely high dust conditions, although more reliable predictions, valid for any aerosol conditions, are provided by the MACC model.
Effects of Singular-Vector-Type Initial Errors on the Short-Range Prediction of Kuroshio Extension Transition Processes

Published: April 2017

AbstractThe effects of optimal initial error on the short-range prediction of transition processes between the Kuroshio Extension (KE) bimodalities are analyzed using a reduced-gravity shallow-water model and the singular vector (SV) approach. Emphasis is placed on the spatial structures, growing processes, and effects of the SVs. The results show that the large values of the SVs are mainly located in the first crest region of the KE (around 35°N, 144°E) and in the Kuroshio large meander (KLM) region south of Japan (around 32°N, 139.5°E). The fast growths of the SVs have important impacts on the prediction of transition of the KE bimodality. The initial error with +SV pattern (with positive anomalies in the first crest region of the KE and negative anomalies in the KLM region) tends to strengthen the KE and shift it toward the high-energy state, while the error with −SV pattern is prone to weaken the KE and shift it toward the low-energy state. In addition, the SV-type initial errors grow more quickly in the transition phase of the KE from the high-energy to the low-energy state than in the opposite transition phase. A perturbation energy analysis illustrates that different physical processes are responsible for the error growth in the KE region for different transition phases of the KE; barotropic instability plays a dominant role in the error growth in the low-to-high (LH) energy phase, while the error evolution in the high-to-low (HL) energy phase is mainly caused by advection processes.
Community-Based Tourism and Political Communitarianism in Prainha do Canto Verde, Brazil
Authors: Ullán de la Rosa Francisco Javier , Aledo Tur Antonio , García Andreu Hugo 
Published: April 2017

Community-based tourism is advocated by indigenous organizations and leftist actors throughout Latin America as a tool for furthering their political and cultural agenda. The ideological biases and structural weaknesses of this model become apparent in a case study of the fishing village of Prainha do Canto Verde, Brazil. The communitarian agenda currently being implemented by means of the community-based tourism project in Prainha is based upon an ideological construct and being imposed through political engineering upon what is simply a local segment of Brazilian rural society. As a result, it is encountering strong resistance. There is also structural tension between the inevitable sociocultural change caused by the development of tourism and the rigidity and essentialism of a community-based tourism model offering a “traditional way of life” as a touristic product. The model is ultimately conflictual and unstable, and there is serious doubt about its long-term sustainability. Organizações indígenas e instituições de esquerda defendem o turismo comunitário na América Latina como forma de apoio às suas agendas políticas e culturais. Contudo, a fragilidade estrutural e o preconceito ideológico desse modelo tornam-se aparente no caso de uma vila de pesca em Prainha do Canto Verde, no Brasil. A agenda comunitária hoje implementada por meio do projeto de turismo comunitário em Prainha baseia-se em construção ideológica e é imposta por meio de engenharia política do que consiste somente de um segmento local da sociedade rural brasileira. Consequentemente, essa agenda encontra forte resistência. Demais, há tensão estrutural entre as mudanças culturais inevitáveis, causadas pelo desenvolvimento do turismo, e a rigidez e essencialismo do modelo de turismo comunitário que oferece “um estilo de vida tradicional” como produto turístico. O modelo é fundamentalmente conflitante e instável, suscitando dúvidas quanto à sua sustentabilidade a longo prazo.
Migration and Trafficking of Persons for Labor Exploitation in the Textile Workshops of Buenos Aires under Neoliberalism
Authors: Betrisey Débora 
Published: April 2017

The practices and political representations of the Argentine state with regard to trafficking in persons for purposes of labor exploitation, currently dominated by legal logic, treat immigrant workers as vulnerable victims. This robs them of any autonomy and ignores other aspects of their subjectivity, hindering the establishment of connections and solidarity with other social sectors in the national context that would allow them to contest the exploitation and domination to which they are subject. Las prácticas y representaciones políticas del Estado argentino con respecto a la trata de personas para fines de explotación laboral se rigen, en la actualidad, por la lógica jurídica y tratan a los trabajadores inmigrantes como víctimas vulnerables. Esto los priva de cualquier tipo de autonomía e ignora otros aspectos de su subjetividad, impidiendo que establezcan conexiones y lazos de solidaridad con otros sectores sociales en el contexto nacional. Dichos vínculos les permitirían oponerse a la explotación y dominación a que las que se les somete.

Objective Interface pressure, the sine qua non for compression therapy, is rarely measured in clinical practice and scientific research. The goal of this study aimed to compare and examine the accuracy between a commercially available piezoresistive sensor and PicoPress® (Microlab, Padua, Italy) using the cylinder cuff model to measure in-vitro interface pressure. Method Ten piezoresistive sensors were calibrated using the National Institute of Standard and Technology certified manometer, and compared to PicoPress® using cylinder cuff model from 20 to 120 mmHg. Two statistical analyses were performed: (a) two-sample t-test to compare the front to back surface of the piezoresistive sensors using mean pressure value and (b) one-sample paired t-test to compare the front and back surface of the piezoresistive sensors to PicoPress® and true pressure using mean pressure value. Result There was no difference in interface pressure measurement between the front and back surface of the piezoresistive sensors (P > 0.05). Using mean pressure value, there was no significant difference between the front surface, back surface of the piezoresistive sensors, and PicoPress® (P > 0.05). Standard deviation was larger for the piezoresistive sensors than PicoPress® at any given pressure and this difference was more pronounced in the higher pressure range. Conclusion Piezoresistive sensor may represent a viable alternative to PicoPress® in interface pressure measurement.

Background Accurate assessment of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may provide appropriate operation guidelines for individual breast cancer patients. Purpose To compare the values of PET/CT and MRI for response evaluation following NAC in breast cancer patients. Material and Methods Thirty-three consecutive patients who underwent NAC were included. PET/CT and MRI were performed before and one to four weeks after NAC. With response evaluation of PET/CT and MRI, patients with complete/partial responses on imaging studies were considered to be responders, and those showing stable/progressive disease non-responders. Peak standardized uptake value corrected for lean body mass (SULpeak) and metabolic tumor volume (MTV) were measured from PET/CT, and unidimensional diameter (1D) and tumor volume (TV) from MRI. Reduction rates for each parameter were calculated (Δ%SULpeak, Δ%MTV, Δ%1D, and Δ%TV). The pathological response for NAC as reference was evaluated after surgical resection of the remaining tumor in the breast. Results We identified 17 pathological responders and 16 non-responders. PET/CT had lower specificity and accuracy, but higher sensitivity than MRI, although no significant difference was found between PET/CT and MRI. Following NAC, there were significant differences between pathological responders and non-responders in SULpeak ( P < 0.001), MTV ( P < 0.001), 1D ( P = 0.0003), TV ( P = 0.038), Δ%SULpeak ( P = 0.001), Δ%MTV ( P < 0.001), Δ%1D ( P < 0.001), and Δ%TV ( P = 0.001). Conclusion PET/CT showed lower specificity and accuracy than MRI in evaluating responses to NAC, but both PET/CT and MRI parameters may have predictive value in distinguishing therapeutic responders and non-responders following NAC.
Effect of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy Versus Conventional Oxygen Therapy and Noninvasive Ventilation on Reintubation Rate in Adult Patients After Extubation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Published: April 2017

Purpose: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effect of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) on reintubation in adult patients. Procedures: Ovid Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched up to November 1, 2016, for RCTs comparing HFNC versus conventional oxygen therapy (COT) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in adult patients after extubation. The primary outcome was reintubation rate, and the secondary outcomes included complications, tolerance and comfort, time to reintubation, length of stay, and mortality. Dichotomous outcomes were presented as risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and continuous outcomes as weighted mean difference and 95% CIs. The random effects model was used for data pooling. Findings: Seven RCTs involving 2781 patients were included in the analysis. The HFNC had a similar reintubation rate compared to either COT (RR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.21-1.60; P = .29; 5 RCTs, n = 1347) or NIV (RR, 1.11; 95% CI, 0.88-1.40; P = .37; 2 RCTs, n = 1434). In subgroup of critically ill patients, the HFNC group had a significantly lower reintubation rate compared to the COT group (RR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.19-0.64; P = .0007; 2 RCTs, n = 632; interaction P = .07 compared to postoperative subgroup). Qualitative analysis suggested that HFNC might be associated with less complications and improved patient’s tolerance and comfort. The HFNC might not delay reintubation. Trial sequential analysis on the primary outcome showed that required information size was not reached. Conclusion: The evidence suggests that COT may still be the first-line therapy in postoperative patients without acute respiratory failure. However, in critically ill patients, HFNC may be a potential alternative respiratory support to COT and NIV, with the latter often associating with patient intolerance and requiring a monitored setting. Because required information size was not reached, further high-quality studies are required to confirm these results.
Relationship of Steroid Dosing and Duration of Mechanical Ventilation in Adult Patients With Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Authors: McCann Jennifer , Teare Katherine , Cochard Emily , Toney Brent 
Published: April 2017

Background: The optimal steroid dose for patients who require mechanical ventilation (MV) for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is unknown. Objective: The primary objective of the study is to describe the relationship between steroid doses prescribed and duration of MV. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients admitted between October 2013 and September 2014 who were prescribed steroids and received MV for ≥48 hours for AECOPD. Results: Fifty-four patients were included in the study. Median maintenance daily dose of 300 mg/d (IQR: 150-300) prednisone equivalent was prescribed upon initiation of MV. The maintenance daily dose prescribed upon initiation of MV was visually plotted and was categorized into 2 groups: high dose (≥300 mg; n = 28) and low dose (<300 mg; n = 26). There was no relationship observed between the maintenance dose prescribed and duration of MV ( P = .44) or intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS; P = .63). Seventeen (31.5%) patients developed an infection during their hospital stay. These patients received a higher cumulative dose of steroids compared to those without an infection ( P = .035). Conclusion: No relationship was observed between maintenance steroid dose prescribed and the duration of MV or ICU LOS. Evaluation of a safe and effective dose and duration of steroids in this population is warranted.
Demographics of hip dysplasia in the Maine Coon cat
Authors: Loder Randall T , Todhunter Rory J 
Published: April 2017

Objectives The aim of this study was to report the demographics of feline hip dysplasia (FHD) in the Maine Coon cat. Methods The complete hip dysplasia registry (public and private) collected by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals through April 2015 was accessed. There were 2732 unique cats; 2708 (99.1%) were Maine Coons, and only these were studied. Variables analyzed were sex, month/season of birth and hip dysplasia score. Two groups were created: those with and without FHD. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The youngest cat with FHD was 4 months of age. The majority of the radiographs (2604/2708 [96.2%]) were performed between 4 and 60 months of age. Non-borderline scores for these 2604 cats were available in 2548, and were the data used for this study. The overall prevalence of FHD was 24.9% (635/2548), and was slightly higher in males (279/1023 [27.3%]) than females (356/1525 [23.3%]) ( P = 0.025). Those with more severe dysplasia were older. The percentage of bilateral FHD was 56%, and bilateral cases had more severe dysplasia than unilateral cases but with no age difference. Month/season of birth or geographic region of origin did not influence the prevalence of FHD. Conclusions and relevance This is the largest demographic study of FHD in the Maine Coon cat. The overall prevalence in the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals registry was 24.9%, and slightly higher in males (27.3%) than females (23.3%). Dysplasia was more severe in bilateral than unilateral cases and with increasing age. Caution should be used when extrapolating these findings to other feline breeds or other groups of Maine Coon cats. Further studies need to be performed among other breeds and geographic locations to better understand the demographics of feline hip dysplasia.
