AbstractThe type strain of the prospective
Bradyrhizobium shewense
sp. nov. ERR11T, was isolated from a nodule of the leguminous tree
Erythrina brucei
native to Ethiopia. The type strain
Bradyrhizobium yuanmingense
CCBAU 10071T, was isolated from the nodules of
Lespedeza cuneata
in Beijing, China. The genomes of ERR11T and CCBAU 10071T were sequenced by DOE–JGI and deposited at the DOE–JGI genome portal as well as at the European Nucleotide Archive. The genome of ERR11T is 9,163,226 bp in length and has 102 scaffolds, containing 8548 protein–coding and 86 RNA genes. The CCBAU 10071T genome is arranged in 108 scaffolds and consists of 8,201,522 bp long and 7776 protein–coding and 85 RNA genes. Both genomes contain symbiotic genes, which are homologous to the genes found in the complete genome sequence of
Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens
USDA110T. The genes encoding for nodulation and nitrogen fixation in ERR11T showed high sequence similarity with homologous genes found in the draft genome of peanut–nodulating
Bradyrhizobium arachidis
LMG 26795T. The nodulation genes nolYA-nodD2D1YABCSUIJ-nolO-nodZ of ERR11T and CCBAU 10071T are organized in a similar way to the homologous genes identified in the genomes of USDA110T,
Bradyrhizobium ottawaense
USDA 4 and
Bradyrhizobium liaoningense
CCBAU 05525. The genomes harbor hupSLCFHK and hypBFDE genes that code the expression of hydrogenase, an enzyme that helps rhizobia to uptake hydrogen released by the N2-fixation process and genes encoding denitrification functions napEDABC and norCBQD for nitrate and nitric oxide reduction, respectively. The genome of ERR11T also contains nosRZDFYLX genes encoding nitrous oxide reductase. Based on multilocus sequence analysis of housekeeping genes, the novel species, which contains eight strains formed a unique group close to the
B. ottawaense
branch. Genome Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) calculated between the genome sequences of ERR11T and closely related sequences revealed that strains belonging to
B. ottawaense
branch (USDA4 and CCBAU15615), were the closest strains to the strain ERR11T with 95.2% ANI. Type strain ERR11T showed the highest DDH predicted value with CCBAU15615 (58.5%), followed by USDA 4 (53.1%). Nevertheless, the ANI and DDH values obtained between ERR11T and CCBAU 15615 or USDA 4 were below the cutoff values (ANI ≥ 96.5%; DDH ≥ 70%) for strains belonging to the same species, suggesting that ERR11T is a new species. Therefore, based on the phylogenetic analysis, ANI and DDH values, we formally propose the creation of
B. shewense
sp. nov. with strain ERR11T (HAMBI 3532T=LMG 30162T) as the type strain.
Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Authors: Han Catherine H. , Batchelor Tracy T. 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT

Purpose of Review: Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is a rare and aggressive extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma confined to the brain, eyes, spinal cord, or leptomeninges without systemic involvement. This article provides an overview of the clinical features, diagnosis, and management of primary CNS lymphoma in patients who are immunocompetent, focusing on recent advances in treatment.

Recent Findings: Primary CNS lymphoma is sensitive to radiation therapy; however, whole-brain radiation therapy inadequately controls the disease when used alone and causes delayed neurotoxicity with significant neurocognitive impairment, especially in patients who are elderly. A number of clinical trials have demonstrated durable disease control and less neurotoxicity with methotrexate-based induction chemotherapy with or without autologous stem cell transplantation or reduced-dose whole-brain radiation therapy.

Summary: Prompt diagnosis and initiation of treatment are vital to improving clinical outcomes in patients with primary CNS lymphoma. The optimal treatment has yet to be defined, but high-dose methotrexate-based induction chemotherapy is considered standard for newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma. Ongoing randomized trials will attempt to address the roles of rituximab and consolidative treatment using autologous stem cell transplantation or reduced-dose whole-brain radiation therapy. Despite high tumor response rates to initial treatment, many patients will relapse. The choice of salvage treatment will depend on age, previous treatment and response, performance status, and comorbidities at the time of relapse.

Предметом исследования в работе является фонетический портрет школьников 5–7-х классов, дающий представление о коллективной языковой личности подростков провинциального города. Представленные особенности определяются и проявляются как тенденции в использовании или употреблении тех или иных языковых единиц на вербально-семантическом уровне и определенных механизмах выбора слов на когнитивном уровне.Цель. Проанализировать особенности устной спонтанной речи младших подростков.Методы исследования: описательный метод и метод контекстуального анализа.Результаты. Исследование показало, что для коллективной личности школьников-подростков характерны особенности в использовании сегментных языковых единиц: нечеткая артикуляция гласных и согласных звуков, что приводит к утрате отдельных звуков (в некоторых случаях усечению целых слогов), и, следовательно, к деформации речи. При описании суперсегментных единиц типичным оказалось использование разнообразной интонации, темпа, их выбор определяется ситуацией общения. Анализ соответствия речи школьников орфоэпическим нормам показал частые случаи отклонения от кодифицированных вариантов, что связано с узуальной речевой практикой школьников и влиянием речевой среды.

Abstract

BACKGROUND
Scrub typhus and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) are the most common tick-borne illnesses in South Korea. Early differentiation of SFTS from scrub typhus in emergency departments is essential but difficult because of their overlapping epidemiology, shared risk factors, and similar clinical manifestations.

METHODS
We compared the diagnostic performance of one-step isothermal nucleic acid amplification with bio-optical sensor detection (iNAD) under isothermal conditions, which is rapid (20–30 min), with that of real-time PCR, in patients with a confirmed tick-borne illness. Fifteen patients with confirmed SFTS who provided a total of 15 initial blood samples and 5 follow-up blood samples, and 21 patients with confirmed scrub typhus, were evaluated.

RESULTS
The clinical sensitivity of iNAD (100%; 95% CI, 83–100) for SFTS was significantly higher than that of real-time PCR (75%; 95% CI, 51–91; P = 0.047), while its clinical specificity (86%; 95% CI, 65–97) was similar to that of real-time PCR (95%; 95% CI, 77–99; P = 0.61). The clinical sensitivity of iNAD for scrub typhus (100%; 95% CI, 81–100) was significantly higher than that of real-time PCR for scrub typhus (67%; 95% CI, 43–85; P = 0.009), while its clinical specificity (90%; 95% CI, 67–98) was similar to that of real-time PCR (95%; 95% CI, 73–100; P &gt; 0.99).

CONCLUSIONS
iNAD is a valuable, rapid method of detecting SFTS virus and Orientia tsutsugamushi with high clinical sensitivity and specificity.
How does Hou Hsiao-hsien engage with popular memory? National allegory, language and family story in Good Men, Good Women (Hou Hsiao-hsien, 1995)
Authors: Hung Christine Yu-Ting 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article engages with popular memory in Good Men, Good Women in order to explain the history of Taiwan before and after the Second World War. It deals with the themes of national allegory, language and family in the film. First, I will discuss the patriotism of the Taiwanese during the Sino-Japanese War. In these turbulent times, there was a group of Taiwanese, including Chiang Pi-yu and Chung Hao-tung, that refused to support Japan in the Sino-Japanese War (1937–45) and instead went to Mainland China to help the Chinese fight the Japanese, in a demonstration of their patriotism. In the film, Good Men, Good Women, the phenomenon of a certain group of people’s patriotism in Taiwan is very well explicated. But the language and cultural barriers between Taiwan and China made it difficult to realize their ‘patriotism’. This article discusses the difficult situation that the Taiwanese faced before and after the Second World War using Hou Hsiao-hsien’s Good Men, Good Women and written documents from my family. By doing so, I explain how Hou Hsiao-hsien engages with popular memory in terms of national allegory, language and family stories.
Genre storytelling and glocalization in Mainland Chinese cinema at the turn of the century: The Missing Gun as a case study
Authors: Shu Yongzhen 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Critics have identified poor storytelling as the Achilles’ heel that hobbles the sustainable development of the film industry in Mainland China. This article tackles the issue of storytelling in Mainland Chinese cinema by focusing on the turn-of-the-century detective film Xun qiang (The Missing Gun) (Lu, 2002). Approaching the film from its adaptation of a published novella, this article examines the film’s storytelling strategies regarding plot, narration, emotional appeal and censorship. It reveals the conscientious adoption of classical Hollywood storytelling principles and their integration with contemporary Chinese cultural, social and political materials and contexts, a cinematic glocalization that creates a distinctive Chinese detective genre with innovative and engrossing storytelling. The article argues that The Missing Gun foreshadows the indigenization of international commercial genres and constitutes a viable model for genre storytelling in Mainland China in the twenty-first century.
‘You Won’t Believe Her Eyes’: Gender politics, cultural reiteration and the cinematic other in the transnational remake from Gin gwai (The Eye) (2002) to The Eye (2008)
Authors: Li Jinhua 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
David Moreau and Xavier Palud’s 2008 transnational remake of the Hong Kong horror film Gin gwai (The Eye) (2002) into The Eye exemplifies an alternative cultural dynamics and gender politics in the border-crossing of cinematic texts. Moving away from the binary opposition of the original/remake and East–West analytical paradigms, this article argues that any attempt to employ cinematic transnationalism as an innovative and illuminating critical apparatus to analyse and investigate the increasingly popular global entertainment phenomenon of transnational film remakes needs to contextualize the films’ cultural discourses, gender politics and representational rhetoric within both axes of the national and the transnational. Therefore, this article adopts an alternative critical lens in transnational remake studies that recognizes both the reciprocity and the rivalry between the East Asian original and the Hollywood remake in order to tease out the contested gender politics and cultural dynamics in the re-articulation of a cinematic other. Accentuating a competitive symbiosis between Gin gwai and The Eye, this article argues that The Eye inscribes an ethnocentric feminist discourse to erase Gin gwai’s apparent patriarchal gender politics, but The Eye’s liberating feminist re-visualization only allows the American protagonist agency at the expense of her inferior Mexican other.
The entertainment industry and India, Inc.
Authors: Barat Somjit 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article focuses on how the Indian entertainment industry has played a unique role in the marketing of ‘India Inc.’ to the outside world since the Government of India accorded ‘industry’ status to the business of filmmaking in 1998. Specifically, this article discusses how one of the biggest entertainment industries in the world survived decades of mismanagement to acquire the status of a highly sought-after marketing platform by different entities – both Indian and international. The author invokes special discussion on how the ‘marriage of convenience’ between the Indian film world and the game of cricket that added fuel to the marketization of India Inc. and concludes with several interesting ideas for future research.
Are people more connective than political actions? Towards an empirical approach for action participants
Authors: Shehata Mostafa 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The recent wave of Internet-based social movements in the Arab Spring countries and elsewhere has considerably changed the organizational structure of contentious action. One of the current and most significant theories that has handled this change is the logic of connective action, which distinguishes between two major types of contentious action: collective and connective. In the context of this theory, this article puts forward a new conception of political action participants and attempts to classify them along the categories of collective or connective. This conception, which consists of participants’ orientations and behaviours, is empirically examined through a survey conducted in Egypt on a representative sample of 527 respondents aged 18 to 35. The results show that the Egyptian political actions that occurred after the 2011 revolution were mostly connective actions, and the majority of the actions participants were connective individuals. In addition, a strong significant relationship was found between both actions and participants as collective or connective. This suggests that identifying the nature of action participants provides a mean to better understand the nature of actions themselves.
Citizenship, media and activism in Turkey during Gezi Park protests
Authors: Yanardağoğlu Eylem 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Research on alternative media indicates the blurring of boundaries between users and producers, thereby increasing the capacity of the ordinary citizens and activists to participate in the production of news and content. During the Gezi Park events in 2013, the news of police brutality spread quickly on social media whilst the mainstream media looked the other way. Thousands of protestors used social media networks to disseminate information, create awareness about police interventions, direct protestors to safe zones and medical help points, as well as mobilize people to support Gezi Park resistance. This article explores the ways in which Twitter as a social platform empowers citizens in democratic participation. It focuses on the motivations of citizens for their involvement in news and content provision during the protests as an act of democratic citizenship and participation. The data reviewed are drawn from an original research project in which a quantitatively driven social network analysis (Twitter) is used to identify the most frequent users who tweeted during Gezi protests and later include these users in qualitative in-depth interviews.
Media audiences and media consumption during political transitions: The case of Egypt
Authors: Jebril Nael , Loveless Matthew 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article examines the role of new media in countries in transition. Using original survey data from Egypt (2012), we examine individuals’ use of media to search for information following Egypt’s participation in the Arab Spring. There are two provocative findings. One, different media satisfy informational searches at local, regional and international levels. And two, the profiles of ‘new media’ users are the most distinct among all mediums, matching the participants in non-traditional forms of political participation, namely urban-living males with education and access to income. Thus, in contrast to the technological determinism of some optimistic ‘new media’ supporters, in countries with low access levels to connectivity, this may suggest an analytical shift from medium to user to better facilitate our understanding of the role of new media in countries in transition.
Social media and the re-affirmation of the role of journalism: A cursory discussion of the potential for widening the public sphere in a postcolonial society
Authors: Rodny-Gumede Ylva 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
New media technologies, and the proliferation of social media platforms, have fundamentally changed the way in which the news media interact with their audiences and ultimately the role that the news media play in a democracy – not to mention a nascent democracy and postcolonial society such as South Africa, where audiences are highly fragmented with large segments of the audience still cut-off from the mainstream news media. However, questions must be raised as to what the real impact of social media is with regard to broadening the public sphere and in facilitating access to a wider audience and a more diverse set of debates. A survey conducted with a select group of South African journalists, as well as civil society and media advocacy groups, indicates that the potential for widening the public sphere lies in the synergies that can be created between the traditional news media and new media platforms. This is, however, dependent on how well such synergies can facilitate access to a wider diversity of views and in the extension a broader audience.
Male and female communication, leadership styles and the position of women in public relations
Authors: Tench Ralph , Topić Martina , Moreno Angeles 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article discusses results of the largest European survey among communication and public relations (PR) practitioners regarding the position of women in the industry. The survey was conducted online among communication and PR practitioners from 42 European countries. Using communication theories on differences in communication styles among men and women, we present and discuss results on managerial skills, differences in the communication styles and traditional views on differences between men and women in PR. The results suggest differences in communication styles among male and female practitioners, where women prefer non-personal communication methods while men prefer more personal forms of communication. The results thus go directly against data showing that women prefer intimacy and building relationships and against the frequently stated arguments for differentiated approaches to communication styles.
‘You're the least important person in the room and don't forget it’: The intimate relations of subjectivity and the illegitimate everyday
Authors: Edbrook Laura 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Collaging epistolary passage and theoretical discussion, this article both embodies and investigates the intimate, cerebral and emotional voice as a post-critical device and a politics of the personal-made-public. Critical memoir and autotheory are examined as rhetorical forms where criticality is charged by correlation to one’s own life. First-person critique, or the ‘radically intimate’, is recognized as a post-critical turn and as a revisionist return to poststructuralist critiques of subjectivity and citational practices of self-writing. A particular focus is this mode of enquiry applied to art writing and acting as a meta-critique of the conditions of creative practice. As a self-reflexive research methodology, it is argued that first-person observation, inflected by affect, intimacy and the quotidian, can be understood not only as a countercultural trend but as a radical intervention in the means, production and historiography of contemporary art, literature and its discourses.
Will Internets eat brain?
Authors: Wylde Gillian 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
‘Will Internets eat brain?’ is developed from text in some of my recent video installations, performances and writing projects. The writing explores processes of performative assemblage(s) highlighting activities of accumulation, fragmentation and arrangement, together with everyday interactions between body, technology and the Internet. The text appropriates information retrieval and Internet searches taking the form of a series of cut ups and punctured narratives, SMS language/textese and netspeak. It is experimental, situated both within and against various discourses and protocols and established codes. A virus or infective agent, the writing takes up queer practices of dis-identification; the act of rejecting dominant and pervasive ideologies as a strategy to explore and disrupt entrenched power structures of language, image and words. It is stark, it frustrates, drawing to attention non-linearity, multiplicity-ness and nowotony. An algorithmic tone or voice runs throughout the text. Any singular discursive argument scrambles, lacks concentration or is faulty. ‘Will Internets eat brain?’ was commissioned by MAP Magazine, Glasgow, and presented for Glasgow Film Festival 2017. Earlier versions appeared at ISEA International Symposium on Electronic Art, Hong Kong and Arnolfini, Bristol.
