Wound, injury, and restoration: Bollywood’s formations of global terror
Authors: Desai Jigna , Neutill Rani 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The discourse of exceptional crisis and unparalleled injury has made ‘9/11’ a globally recognized invocation and sanctioning of the security state’s violent imperial and domestic expansion and retaliation. Media representations themselves have come under scrutiny for their role in saturating our imaginaries with spectacles of American suffering with much less attention being paid to other more deadly occurrences (e.g. conflict in Darfur). Both narrative and images attempt to establish 9/11 as the beginning of a new global history that stretches outward from the United States and incorporates other global cities – Bali, Mumbai, London and Madrid – into this history. National and international media located the 11/26 attacks on Mumbai as India’s own 9/11. The bombings, subsequent occupation of the city, and hostage crisis were figured as predicated by 9/11, demarcating a historical teleology of terror that originated in New York and lead to Mumbai. New York, the original site of attack in this narrative, is the centre of civilization, finance and democracy; and the various attacks on Mumbai demonstrate how the threat of Islamic terror is spreading to the free world and other democracies, a narrative that promulgates an Orientalist and imperial discourse of Islamic violence and terror. A recent subgenre in popular Hindi cinema has adapted and adopted a similar narrative of exceptional injury. In a twist, recent Hindi films (2005–present) that deal with 9/11 and the Mumbai bombings have a different exigency, a shifted narrative that locates 9/11 within a larger frame of global Islamic violence, one where New York is not the origin, but where India precedes New York in injury. The affective and political shift we trace here is one where earlier cinematic narrative and images first concentrate on a history inscribed by loss – the 1947 Partition of India into India and Pakistan as a site of mourning, to films that deal with other conflicts and therefore other ways of politically and psychically understanding histories of inflicted and perpetrated violence as well as justification for the perpetration of violence. Most importantly, we suggest that films within the subgenre do not simply call for the expansion of the global security state, but can instead imagine other ethical responses. We identify one such response as postcolonial restoration.
Piecing together the puzzle: Kahaani, Talaash and the complex narrative in popular Hindi cinema
Authors: Khdair Dina 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article examines the recent emergence of mind-tricking narratives in popular Hindi cinema, such as Kahaani/Story (2012) by Sujoy Ghosh and Talaash/Search (2012) by Reema Kagti, as an illustration of the increasingly transnational and cosmopolitan outlook of popular film artefacts. This discussion addresses wider concerns regarding the continuing globalization of the Indian film industry, and ramifications for narrative, thematic and generic identity in its films, by posing questions such as: how do the above texts negotiate global storytelling norms within a prevailing and historically dominant melodramatic framework in commercial Hindi cinema? What are the implications of these changes, and most importantly, why now?

Loyalty and innovation: Evidence from Algerian mobile service providers
Authors: Bersali Mohamed Nabil , Guermat Cherif 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Theoretical considerations imply a positive association between innovation and customer loyalty. However, two major gaps remain in the literature. First, there is little empirical support for the relationship between innovation and customer loyalty. The few existing studies have so far found mixed results. Second, apart from a recent study, differential studies on innovation are non-existent. This article aims to fill these gaps by discussing the relationship between innovation and customer loyalty in the mobile industry using survey data collected from Algerian mobile customers. The results show that discriminating innovation is consequential. Only effective innovations are positively associated with customer loyalty. Ineffective innovations are neutral for behavioral loyalty, but harmful for attitudinal loyalty. Implications for managers and researchers are provided.

Abstract

Aim: To develop an ultrasonographic severity scoring of non-immune hydrops in order to predict perinatal outcomes in women with non-immune hydrops.

Methods: The study population consisted of pregnant women who were admitted and delivered with the diagnosis of fetal non-immune hydrops and singleton gestation. Cases were divided into “perinatal survivor” and “perinatal non-survivor” groups. Perinatal non-survivor cases were defined as those with stillbirth or neonatal death ≤28 completed days after birth. The presence of an abnormal fluid collection in each body compartment, such as subcutaneous edema, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites was assigned a score of 1 point per each body compartment, and the absence of abnormal fluid collection was scored as 0 point. The total number of abnormal fluid collections was converted to a numeric score, which was called the ultrasonographic severity scoring of non-immune hydrops (USNIH).

Results: Perinatal death occurred in 46.5% (20/43) of the cases of non-immune hydrops. USNIH in patients of the non-survivor group was significantly higher than that in those of the survivor group [non-survivor group 3 (2–4) vs. survivor 2 (2–3); median (range); P<0.05]. Perinatal mortality rates were higher in patients with USNIH ≥3 points than in those with USNIH of 2 points (67% vs. 13%, P<0.005). This difference remained significant after adjustment for confounding variables. When confining analysis to those with idiopathic non-immune hydrops, women in the perinatal non-survivor group had significantly higher USNIH score than those in the perinatal survivor group, and this difference remained significant after adjustment.

Conclusions: Our USNIH system may be a reliable predictive marker for perinatal outcomes in cases of non-immune hydrops, especially in idiopathic hydrops during the antenatal period.

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTThe germanium-manganese system has been experimentally studied but no Calphad description is available yet. After a critical review of the literature concerning the phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties, a thermodynamic description of the Gibbs energy of the phases is performed using the Calphad method. The liquid phase is described with an associated model and the variation to the stoichiometry of the solid phases is taken into account.
New And Neglected Morphological Features in the Taxonomy of Asian Lejeunea (Marchantiophyta)
Authors: Lee Gaik Ee , Damanhuri Ahmad , Latiff Abdul , Gradstein S. Robbert 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The infrageneric classification of the large genus Lejeunea Lib. is poorly understood due to the lack of stable morphological characters characterizing supraspecific groups. Phenetic analysis of 26 morphological features of 31 Asian Lejeunea species separated two main species clusters based on the number of superior central cells at underleaf bases. The number of superior central cells had not previously been utilized in the classification of Lejeunea and appears to be new and stable morphological feature within this genus. The presence of surface wax was confirmed in L. flava (Sw.) Nees and was newly recorded in L. mimula Hürl. and L. tuberculosa Steph. We suggest that wax ornamentation may be a useful taxonomic feature at species level in Lejeunea.

Objective.Associations between autoantibodies and clinical features have been described in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Herein, we aimed to define autoantibody clusters and their clinical correlations in a large cohort of patients with SLE.Methods.We analyzed 852 patients with SLE who attended our clinic. Seven autoantibodies were selected for cluster analysis: anti-DNA, anti-Sm, anti-RNP, anticardiolipin (aCL) immunoglobulin (Ig)G or IgM, lupus anticoagulant (LAC), anti-Ro, and anti-La. Two-step clustering and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used.Results.Five clusters were identified. A cluster consisted of patients with only anti-dsDNA antibodies, a cluster of anti-Sm and anti-RNP, a cluster of aCL IgG/M and LAC, and a cluster of anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies. Analysis revealed 1 more cluster that consisted of patients who did not belong to any of the clusters formed by antibodies chosen for cluster analysis. Sm/RNP cluster had significantly higher incidence of pulmonary hypertension and Raynaud phenomenon. DsDNA cluster had the highest incidence of renal involvement. In the aCL/LAC cluster, there were significantly more patients with neuropsychiatric involvement, antiphospholipid syndrome, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. According to the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics damage index, the highest frequency of damage was in the aCL/LAC cluster. Comparison of 10 and 20 years survival showed reduced survival in the aCL/LAC cluster.Conclusion.This study supports the existence of autoantibody clusters with distinct clinical features in SLE and shows that forming clinical subsets according to autoantibody clusters may be useful in predicting the outcome of the disease. Autoantibody clusters in SLE may exhibit differences according to the clinical setting or population.

Objective.To describe infusion reactions (IR) and severe adverse events (SAE) associated with infliximab (IFX) in pediatric patients with rheumatologic and ocular inflammatory diseases in a real-world setting.Methods.This is a retrospective chart review of all patients treated with IFX at the pediatric rheumatology division of a university hospital between October 2000 and December 2012.Results.A total of 2446 IFX infusions were given to 82 patients (72% female). IR occurred in 46 infusions (2%) of 14 patients (17%) after a mean IFX treatment time of 340 days (range 41–780); 9/14 patients (64%) experienced repeated IR. IR were classified as mild (26%), moderate (74%), or severe (0%). Indications for IFX were arthritis (60%), uveitis (20%), arthritis and uveitis (13%), and other inflammatory diseases (5%). The most common clinical symptoms were respiratory signs (72%), cutaneous manifestations (69%), and malaise (61%). In 6/14 patients (43%) with IR, IFX was discontinued: 4 patients because of repeated IR and 2 patients wished to stop treatment immediately following a mild IR. The other 8/14 patients (57%) received premedication with high-dose antihistamine (100%), corticosteroids (75%), and IFX dose increase (75%) and continued IFX treatment for a mean followup period of 146 weeks (range 26–537) after the first IR. We observed severe infections in 5/82 patients (6%); other SAE were rare.Conclusion.Mild and moderate IR occurred in 17% of our patients. Treatment with antihistamines and methylprednisolone, and increasing the IFX dose, allowed continued treatment despite IR in > 50% of patients. Other SAE were infrequent.
Baetis bundyae(Ephemeroptera: Baetidae), described from Arctic Canada is found in northernmost Europe

AbstractThe taxonomy and identification of mayflies of theBaetis vernusgroup (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) represents a major challenge in both Europe and North America. The recent description ofB. jaerviiSavolainen from Finland, a species taxonomically close to the Palaearctic taxonBaetis macaniKimmins and the NearcticB. bundyaeLehmkuhl, called for clarification of the status and distribution of these species in northernmost Europe. We generated mtDNA COI sequences for establishing the identity of the collected samples. Based on these data we conclude thatB. bundyaedoes occur in northeastern Finland in sympatry withB. macani. Accordingly, this taxon shows a highly interesting distributional pattern across the Nearctic and western Palaearctic regions.
Temperature dependence of an estuarine harmful algal bloom: Resolving interannual variability in bloom dynamics using a degree‐day approach

Published: May 2014

Observations of harmful algal blooms (HABs) of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium fundyense in an estuary over multiple years were used to assess drivers of their spatial and temporal variability. Nauset Estuary on Cape Cod, Massachusetts has a recurrent, self‐seeding A. fundyense population that produces paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins and leads to nearly annual closure to shellfishing. Weekly surveys of the entire estuary were made in 3 of 4 consecutive years, with surveys of a subembayment during the intervening year. Major A. fundyense blooms were observed all 4 yr, with maximum concentrations > 106 cells L−1. Concentrations were greatest in three salt ponds at the distal edges of the estuary. The bloom timing varied among the salt ponds and among years, although the blooms had similar durations and maximum cell concentrations. Nutrient concentrations did not correlate with the growth of the bloom, but differences in water temperature among years and ponds were significant. Net growth rates inferred from the surveys were similar to those from laboratory experiments, and increased linearly with temperature. A growing degree‐day calculation was used to account for effects of interannual variability and spatial gradients in water temperature on population development. The approach collapsed variability in the timing of bloom onset, development, and termination across years and among ponds, suggesting that this relatively simple metric could be used as an early‐warning indicator for HABs in Nauset and similar areas with localized, self‐seeding blooms.

Published: May 2014

La alta frecuencia de exhibición de violencia en los medios de comunicación y sus efectos en la conducta de los espectadores ha sido estudiada desde diversos ámbitos, principalmente a través de medidas explícitas de autorreporte. En la presente investigación se indagó la relación entre las actitudes implícitas hacia la violencia, el comportamiento antisocial y el consumo televisivo, en un diseño transversal, mixto, correlacional y de diferencia de grupos. A los 33 participantes voluntarios se les administraron tres instrumentos: la Tarea de Asociación Implícita, el Cuestionario de Autorreporte de Comportamiento Social Adolescente y el Cuestionario de Consumo Televisivo. No se encontraron correlaciones estadísticamente significativas entre las variables; sin embargo, sí se encontró una significativamente mayor incidencia de conductas antisociales reportadas por los hombres que por las mujeres. Se discuten las implicancias de factores socioculturales que podrían incidir en el fenómeno estudiado.

The Effect of Collocation on Meaning Representation of Adjectives such as Big and Large in Translation from Two Languages Used in the Article to English Language Texts
Authors: Minaabad Malahat 
Published: May 2014

Translation is the process to transfer written or spoken source language (SL) texts to equivalent written or spoken target language (TL) texts. Translation studies (TS) relies so heavily on a concept of meaning, that one may claim that there is no TS without any reference to meanings. People’s understanding of the meaning of sentences is far more reliable than their understanding of the meaning of words. Since what people know when they know the meaning of a word is important, but the skill of incorporating that word appropriately into meaningful linguistic contexts is more important. Our interest here lies in the shift of emphasis from referential or dictionary meaning to contextual meaning of adjectives such as big, and large in translation to English language texts or vice versa. Since big and large are synonyms, it is not surprising that they can be used to describe many of the same nouns. However, they are not perfect synonyms, and there are some differences in the distribution of these adjectives which make some problems for translators especially from those languages which these kinds of differences are not so obvious.

Abstract

Georges Köhler (1946–1995) was a German immunologist who, with Cesar Milstein, perfected the hybridoma technique of preparing monoclonal antibodies against specific antigen, for which they received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 1984. Köhler joined Milstein at Cambridge as a postdoctoral fellow. His doctoral dissertation had shown that a thousand different murine immunoglobulins could react with a single epitope. He and Milstein investigated antibody gene mutations. Köhler conceived the idea of producing hybridomas. Their synthesis of monoclonal antibodies was proof for the clonal selection theory which postulated that a single B cell and its progeny could synthesise a single antibody expressed as a cell surface receptor and a secreted product. Monoclonal antibodies have broad applications in both basic research and clinical science. After Cambridge, Köhler became an Investigator at the Basel Institute for Immunology and was subsequently appointed Director of the Max‐Planck Institute for Immunology in Freiburg im Breisgau.

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTHerein, we report the preparation of robust polyacrylic acid hydrogel using rod‐like amidodiol as physical crosslinker. Polyacrylic acid–amidodiol hydrogels were characterized for its chemical structure, rheology, swelling, diffusion, and adsorption properties. Kinetics and mechanism of adsorption were investigated by UV–visible spectroscopy using dyes such as rhodamine 6G and methylene blue as adsorbate. Results suggested pseudo second‐order kinetics of multilayer adsorption and hydrogel could retain its shape even after swelling. Effect of amidodiol on the adsorption of dyes was investigated. Extent of interaction between adsorbate–adsorbate and adsorbent–adsorbate was studied using Gile's model. The generated results may provide a low cost simple technology for developing robust polymeric hydrogel adsorbent. The adsorption characteristics results can be exploited for setting up pilot plant adsorbent for the removal of such organic toxic materials. Finally, we have demonstrated its application for the removal of dyes from waste water collected from textile and paper industries. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTpH‐responsive polyethylene terephthalate (PET) track‐etched membranes were synthesized by grafting 2‐hydroxyethyl‐methacrylate (HEMA) on the surface of the membrane via atom transfer radical polymerization. The controllability of grafting polymerization of HEMA on membrane surface is systematically investigated. The pH‐responsive characteristics of PET‐g‐poly(2‐hydroxyethyl‐methacrylate) (PHEMA) gating membranes with different grafted PHEMA chain lengths are measured by tracking the permeation of water solution with different pH values. The results show that the grafting polymerization is controllable, and the permeation of grafted membranes is affected by the grafted PHEMA chain lengths on the surface of membrane. The results also demonstrate that the grafted PET membranes exhibit reversible pH‐response permeation to environmental pH values. Desired pH‐responsive membranes are obtained by controlling the grafted PHEMA chain lengths via atom transfer radical polymerization method. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
