The subject criterion in the identification of verbs uninflected for person
The paper discusses the problem of identification of a special type of modern Polish verbs that do not inflect for person. In the literature, they are known as czasowniki niewłaściwe, literally ‘improper verbs’, but the descriptions of their various interpretations lead to the conclusion that they can be no longer equated with verbs uninflected for person. The author proposes that the criterion of syntactic position of the subject can be used in their identification.
Życzenia i winszowanie jako akt mowy
Authors: Sikora Kazimierz 
Published: November 2013

Wishing and congratulating as a speech act
The paper attempts to synthesize and revise the views on wishing and congratulating as specific speech acts which are represented in Polish by the performative verbs życzę, życzymy ‘I/we wish’, winszuję, winszujemy ‘I/we congratulate’, by optative formulas based on aspect operators (niech, oby, aby, żeby ‘let’, ‘so that’ &c.), and sometimes also by imperative sentences. It examines the conditions of fortuitousness of the wishes and their illocutive value, and especially the quite questionable honorific function of wishing formulas, and their connection with the linguistic relics of primitive magical thinking. The proposed interpretations emphasize the cultural and pragmatic function of wishes, rooted in history and tradition.

Integrative functional approach in legal translation teaching
The paper introduces an integrative functional approach to legal translation teaching at translation programmes taught as part of Philology major. The approach is based on functionalism, professional realism of training, and social constructivism. The main objective is to train translators who are aware of their mediating role in intercultural and intersystemic communication, know how to produce a translation ‘fit for the purpose’, deal with terminological incongruity and overcome problems typical of the translation process. The approach requires a student-centred approach and autonomy of learners. The paper presents practical tasks which help foster the functional approach to translation and empower students by raising their self-efficacy.

Twisting and turning: India’s telecommunications and media industries under the neo-liberal regime
Authors: Pendakur Manjunath 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
This paper traces the transformation of India’s telecommunications and media industries in the context of neo-liberal policies pursued by the state since 1991 to establish the supremacy of the market.
The growth of the capitalist enterprises, their expansion abroad, their entanglement with foreign capital and the closer ties to the multinationals are some of the features of this historic process. While the evidence indicates impressive short-term gains for the middle and upper classes, the larger structural questions linger. Nearly 400 million Indians out of the billion-plus population are languishing in crushing poverty as they attempt to climb up the economic ladder and grab the ephemeral promises made by the new, fast globalizing economy. The social costs of this economy, in which post-colonial India’s vision of a fair and just society are abandoned, have resulted in various upheavals and an unstable political economy.

How (Not) to Lie with Benefit-Cost Analysis
Authors: Farrow Scott 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
Benefit-cost analysis is the applied side of welfare economics. Its broad use in support of public decisions draws both detractors and defenders. This tongue-in-cheek piece demonstrates that knowing how to lie provides insights into how not to lie; we assume the former is always accidental among economists and we hope it is so for others.
Pyrolysis gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to identify compression wood in Pinus radiata saplings
Authors: Brennan Maree , McLean J. Paul , Klingberg Andreas , Altaner Clemens , Harris Philip J. 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
The potential of pyrolysis followed by gas-chromatography and mass-spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was investigated for identifying compression wood (CW) in saplings of radiata pine (Pinus radiata) by examining samples of CW and opposite wood (OW). Phenolic compounds and anhydrosugars were identified among the pyrolysis products that provided information about the cell-wall polymers. Sample preparation, such as coarse-milling, fine-milling, and fine-milling followed by calcium-chloride treatment was also investigated. Fine-milling typically decreased the total yield of phenolic compounds compared with coarse-milling. Fine-milling followed by calcium-chloride washing significantly increased the proportions of pyrolysis products from polysaccharides, specifically from (1→4)-β-D-galactans that were of interest in distinguishing CW from OW. Six pyrolysis products were identified that were unique to the CW samples examined, including derivatives of (1→4)-β-D-galactans and H-units of lignin. Other pyrolysis products were identified that had significantly different proportions between the two wood types, and sometimes among samples of the same wood type.

Published: November 2013

Abstract
Introduction: Health-promoting behaviors have considerable effects on improving life quality and decreasing healthcare expenses. This study aimed to determine the status of health-promoting behaviors and its subscales, as well as its relationship with self-efficacy and some socio-demographic characteristics in adolescent Iranian girls.
Materials and methods: The participants in this study were 750 adolescent girls aged 14–18 years, living in the city of Sanandaj, Iran in 2013. Samples were selected randomly. Questionnaires used in the study were the “Adolescent Healthy Lifestyle” and “Sherer General Self-efficacy” questionnaires. Multivariate linear regresion analysis was used to determine predictors of health-promoting lifestyle.
Results: Mean total score of health-promoting lifestyles in adolescent girls was 3.51 (SD 0.55) and its observed scores ranged from 1 to 5. The highest and lowest mean scores were obtained for life appreciation and physical activity subscales, respectively. Self-efficacy had significant positive correlation with the total health-promoting lifestyle scores and all its subscales. The variables of self-efficacy, current disease, mother’s education, mother’s occupation, and sufficiency of income for expenses remained in the multivariate linear regresion model and were able to explain 21% of the observed variance of the total score for health-promoting lifestyle.
Conclusion: The findings show that adolescents “sometimes” or “often” show health-promoting behaviors. In addition to self-efficacy as the main predictor, some of the socio-demographic characteristics are also among the predictors of health behaviors. With consideration of adolescence years as a foundation for one’s future life, it is necessary to provide strategies to encourage a health-promoting lifestyle in adolescents.
The effect of organoclay contents on morphological characterization, mechanical and thermal properties of epoxidized natural rubber-50 toughened polyamide 6 nanocomposites

Published: November 2013

Abstract
Nanocomposites consisting of polyamide 6 (PA6) matrix with epoxidized natural rubber-50 (ENR-50) and organoclay-modified montmorillonite (OMMT) were prepared by melt blending in a twin-screw extruder followed by injection molding. The influence of varying amounts (0–6 phr) of OMMT loadings on ENR-50 (10 wt.%) toughened PA6 nanocomposites was examined. Morphological characterizations and mechanical and thermal properties of the blend and nanocomposites were investigated. The addition of OMMT resulted in an increase in tensile strength and modulus, while impact strength and elongation at break reduced. Thermal study revealed no significant change in thermal properties with OMMT loadings. Exfoliated structure was observed from X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns for <4 phr OMMT and was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images.
Cyclosporine A Inhibits Apoptosis of Rat Gingival Epithelium
Authors: Ma Su , Liu Peihong , Li Yanwu , Hou Lin , Chen Li , Qin Chunlin 
Published: November 2013

Background: The use of cyclosporine A (CsA) induces hyperplasia of the gingival epithelium in a site‐specific response manner, but the molecular mechanism via which the lesion occurs is unclear. The present research aims to investigate the site‐specific effect of CsA on the apoptosis of gingival epithelium associated with gingival hyperplasia.Methods: Forty Wistar rats were divided into CsA‐treated and non‐treated groups. Paraffin‐embedded sections of mandibular first molars were selected for hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunohistochemistry analyses of bcl‐2 and caspase‐3, and the staining of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transfer‐mediated dUTP nick‐end labeling (TUNEL). The area of the whole gingival epithelium and the length of rete pegs were measured, and the number of bcl‐2‐ and caspase‐3‐positive cells in the longest rete peg were counted. The analysis of variance for factorial designs and Fisher least significant difference test for post hoc analysis were used to determine the significance levels.Results: In CsA‐treated rats, bcl‐2 expression was significantly upregulated, whereas caspase‐3 expression was downregulated, along with a reduced number of TUNEL‐positive cells. The site‐specific distribution of bcl‐2 was consistent with the site‐specific hyperplasia of the gingival epithelium in CsA‐treated rats.Conclusions: CsA inhibited gingival epithelial apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway and common pathway. The antiapoptotic protein bcl‐2 might play a critical role in the pathogenesis of the site‐specific hyperplasia of gingival epithelium induced by CsA. There were mechanistic differences in the regulation of apoptosis for cells in the attached gingival epithelium, free gingival epithelium, and junctional epithelium.
Association of Plasma 25‐Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations and Pathogenic Oral Bacteria in Postmenopausal Females

Published: November 2013

Background: Previous findings of an association between 25‐hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and periodontal disease may be partially explained by the antimicrobial properties of vitamin D. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no study has investigated the association between 25(OH)D and pathogenic oral bacteria, a putative cause of periodontal disease.Methods: The association between plasma 25(OH)D concentrations and pathogenic oral bacteria was examined among postmenopausal females in the Buffalo Osteoporosis and Periodontal Disease Study (1997 to 2000), an ancillary study of the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study. Subgingival plaque samples were assessed using immunofluorescence for the presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, and Campylobacter rectus. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for prevalent bacteria by quintile (Q) of 25(OH)D concentrations, adjusting for age and body mass index.Results: Of the 855 participants, 288 (34%) had deficient/inadequate (<50 nmol/L) 25(OH)D concentrations, and 496 (58%) had at least one species of pathogenic bacteria. No significant association was found between 25(OH)D and presence of any of these bacteria (adjusted OR for high [Q5] compared to low [Q1] 25(OH)D = 0.96; 95% CI: 0.61 to 1.50; P for trend = 0.50). Inverse, although not statistically significant, associations were found between 25(OH)D and more than one species of pathogenic bacteria (adjusted OR for adequate compared to deficient/inadequate 25(OH)D = 0.85; 95% CI: 0.60 to 1.19).Conclusions: No association was observed between pathogenic oral bacteria and 25(OH)D concentrations in postmenopausal females. This may be attributable to the species of bacteria assessed, small effect size, or a true absence of an association.
Association between Mycoplasma-specific polymerase chain reaction assay results and oral bacterial contamination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples from dogs with respiratory tract disease: 121 cases (2005–2012)
Authors: Chan Christina M. , Ridgway Marcella D. , Mitchell Mark A. , Maddox Carol W. 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
Objective—To determine whether an association exists between oral bacterial contamination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and positive PCR assay results for the detection of Mycoplasma spp in BALF samples of dogs with lower respiratory tract (LRT; portion from the trachea to the lungs) disease.
Design—Retrospective case series.
Animals—121 dogs with LRT disease.
Procedures—Medical records from January 2005 to April 2012 were reviewed. Dogs with LRT disease that had BALF samples evaluated by use of Mycoplasma-specific PCR assay, bacterial culture, and cytologic examination were included. Information on signalment, final diagnoses, and BALF testing results was extracted.
Results—83 (68.6%) dogs had BALF samples with negative PCR assay results for Mycoplasma spp, and 38 (31.4%) had positive results. The BALF samples with cytologic evidence of oral bacterial contamination were 5.1 times as likely to have positive Mycoplasma-specific PCR assay results as were noncontaminated samples. Compared with hound or herding dogs, other breeds were 13.6 times as likely to have positive PCR assay results. Dogs with bronchitis were less likely than dogs with other LRT diseases to have positive Mycoplasma-specific PCR assay results. No significant association was found between Mycoplasma-specific PCR assay results and bacterial culture results.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—In dogs with LRT disease, Mycoplasma-specific PCR assay results for BALF samples should be interpreted in terms of possible oral bacterial contamination. Mycoplasma-specific PCR assay of BALF samples from herding dogs, hound dogs, and dogs with bronchitis may be less rewarding than for other dogs with LRT disease.
Etoposide Selectively Ablates Activated T Cells To Control the Immunoregulatory Disorder Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis

Published: November 2013

Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an inborn disorder of immune regulation caused by mutations affecting perforin-dependent cytotoxicity. Defects in this pathway impair negative feedback between cytotoxic lymphocytes and APCs, leading to prolonged and pathologic activation of T cells. Etoposide, a widely used chemotherapeutic drug that inhibits topoisomerase II, is the mainstay of treatment for HLH, although its therapeutic mechanism remains unknown. We used a murine model of HLH, involving lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection of perforin-deficient mice, to study the activity and mechanism of etoposide for treating HLH and found that it substantially alleviated all symptoms of murine HLH and allowed prolonged survival. This therapeutic effect was relatively unique among chemotherapeutic agents tested, suggesting distinctive effects on the immune response. We found that the therapeutic mechanism of etoposide in this model system involved potent deletion of activated T cells and efficient suppression of inflammatory cytokine production. This effect was remarkably selective; etoposide did not exert a direct anti-inflammatory effect on macrophages or dendritic cells, and it did not cause deletion of quiescent naive or memory T cells. Finally, etoposide’s immunomodulatory effects were similar in wild-type and perforin-deficient animals. Thus, etoposide treats HLH by selectively eliminating pathologic, activated T cells and may have usefulness as a novel immune modulator in a broad array of immunopathologic disorders.
Unicystic Ameloblastoma presenting as Dentigerous Cyst

Published: November 2013

ABSTRACTUnicystic ameloblastoma refers to those cystic lesions that show clinical, radiographic or gross features of a jaw cyst but on histological examination show a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining the cyst cavity, with or without luminal and/or mural tumor proliferation. Unicystic ameloblastoma is a less encountered variant of the ameloblastoma and believed to be less aggressive. As this tumor shows considerable similarities with dentigerous cysts, both clinically and radiographically the biologic behavior of this tumor group was reviewed. Moreover, recurrence of unicystic ameloblastoma may be long delayed and a long-term postoperative follow-up is essential for proper management of these patients. Here, we present a case of unicystic ameloblastoma in a 12-year-old female patient.How to cite this articleBakshi NS, Mukherji S, Chauhan Y. Unicystic Ameloblastoma presenting as Dentigerous Cyst.

Narrative Purpose and Legal Logic in “The Tell-Tale Heart”
Authors: Wall Brian 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
While recent scholarly efforts to link Poe's “The Tell-Tale Heart” to an exploration of judicial rhetoric and the insanity defense are to be applauded, these efforts have unfortunately misdiagnosed a key element of the insanity defense by treating it as an argument against a charge of insanity rather than an attempt to mitigate a charge of murder. In this article, I first seek to properly contextualize Poe's adept understanding of the nature of the insanity defense within the legal elements of the defense in force during the writing of “The Tell-Tale Heart.” I then utilize this understanding by exploring how this analysis gives us insight into the identity of the narrator's audience (i.e., the identity of “you”) and the meanings that this identity may give the narrator's haunting question, “but why will you say that I am mad?”
Flank bulge following supracostal percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a report of 2 cases.
Authors: Lantz Andrea Gail 
Published: November 2013

Damage to intercostal nerves during surgical procedures has been associated with a postoperative flank bulge, due to denervation of the anterolateral abdominal wall musculature. This complication has not been reported following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). We are aware of 3 cases, but have details on 2 cases of postoperative flank bulge following supracostal PCNL which are reported here. We also suggest how this complication could potentially be minimized.
Canada’s First Robotic Assisted Totally Intracorporeal Orthotopic Ileal Neobladder

Published: November 2013

Despite robotic-assisted radical cysto-prostatectomy being performed in several centres, the urinary diversion is most often performed extra-corporeal. A robotic intra-corporeal ileal neobladder is technically demanding and long-term functional outcome data is lacking. We performed a robotic intra-corporeal ileal neobladder in a 73-year-old man for muscle invasive non-metastatic bladder cancer. The total operative time was 6 hours 8 minutes. The estimated blood loss was 900 mL. There were no complications and he was discharged on day 12. The principles of open neobladder surgery were maintained, however key modifications were used to reduce technical difficulty and enable timely completion. We found that robotic intracorporeal ileal neobladder can be safely performed with an experienced robotic unit.
