A Return to The Waste Land After Césaire's Cahier
Authors: Gennaro Mara de 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
This article argues that reading The Waste Land and the Cahier d'un retour au pays natal together and in light of diasporic, postcolonial, and transnational feminist theory suggests new interpretive possibilities for both poems, and, more broadly, destabilizes an enduring divide between cosmopolitan varieties of canonical Anglo-modernism and transnational, especially francophone, postcolonialisms. The article's central claim is that the transfigured modernist elements in Césaire's poem and in C. L. R. James's theorizations of collectivity and poetics have the potential to educate us to interpret canonical modernist texts such as The Waste Land differently than we could before. Putting under scrutiny the idea that the cultural politics of poems remain constant notwithstanding the critical training we bring to reading them, the article asserts that Eliot and Césaire are productive to read together because, despite their obvious political differences, their signature poetic practices of indirection and comparatism undermine the cultural authority of canonical discourse in ways that can induce readers to try to imagine languages and perspectives excluded from such discourse. When we read for what is missing, what has no voice or adequate means of being heard or understood in the poems, we can better see how the poems reveal inadequacies of both inherited discourses and authoritative speaking subjects to make sense of the multivocal worlds to which both poems continually allude.

Religie en cultuur in familierechtelijke beslissingen over kinderen
In deze bijdrage worden de resultaten gepresenteerd van een uitgebreid jurisprudentieonderzoek naar de wijze waarop religie en cultuur betrokken worden in de overwegingen van de rechter in familierechtelijke beslissingen over kinderen in Nederland. Naast een kwantitatief overzicht van de gepubliceerde jurisprudentie worden de uitspraken inhoudelijk ontsloten en geanalyseerd aan de hand van thema's zoals bloedtransfusies, cultuurverschillen en identiteitsontwikkeling, rituelen (besnijdenis en doop) en schoolkeuze. Bij de analyse wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen de rechten van het kind en de rechten van ouders, en wordt ingegaan op de vraag welke criteria de rechter hanteert voor de afweging van de rechten van het kind en diens ouders. Ook wordt besproken in hoeverre internationale normen herkenbaar zijn in de overwegingen van de rechter. Uit de 79 rechtszaken waarin de rechter overwegingen wijdt aan religie en cultuur, blijkt dat deze aspecten zowel positieve als negatieve effecten kunnen hebben op het belang van het kind en met name op de identiteitsontwikkeling van het kind. De rechter hanteert hierbij criteria zoals: schade voor de gezondheid van het kind, sociale aansluiting met anderen van dezelfde religieuze of culturele achtergrond, en praktische overwegingen.This contribution presents the results of an extensive Dutch case law study on the way in which religion and culture play a role in the considerations of judges in family law decisions regarding children. In addition to a quantitative overview of the published case law in the Netherlands, the decisions are analysed on the basis of themes such as blood transfusion, culture differences and identity development, rituals (circumcision and baptism), and choosing a school. In the analysis, a distinction is made between the rights of the child and the rights of parents. Furthermore, the criteria which the judge deploys to balance the rights of the child and the rights of its parents are addressed. Finally, the extent to which international legal standards can be identified in the considerations of the judge is discussed. From the 79 cases in which the judge consider to religion and culture, it appears that these aspects can have both positive and negative effects upon the best interests of the child, and in particular upon the identity development of the child. In these cases, the judge uses criteria such as: harm to the health of the child, social connections with others of the same religious and cultural background, and practical day-to-day considerations.

Implementatie van de herziene Asielprocedurerichtlijn: een nieuwe beslissystematiek en meer waarborgen voor asielzoekers
Authors: Reneman M. 
Published: September 2015

Deze bijdrage bespreekt de gevolgen van de herziene Procedurerichtlijn (2013/32/EU) voor de Nederlandse asielprocedure. Deze richtlijn heeft geleid tot een aantal belangrijke wijzigingen in het Nederlandse systeem van procedures en soorten asielbeslissingen. De onverkorte handhaving van een aantal cruciale aspecten van de Nederlandse asielprocedure, zoals de snelle algemene asielprocedure en het toetsingskader voor tweede en volgende asielaanvragen, wringt echter met het systeem van de Procedurerichtlijn. Daarnaast zijn in navolging van de richtlijn een aantal nieuwe waarborgen voor asielzoekers geïntroduceerd, zoals passende steun voor kwetsbare asielzoekers, een verruimd recht op een rechtsmiddel met schorsende werking en een volledig en ex nunc onderzoek door de rechter.Richtlijn 2013/32/EU van het Europees parlement en de Raad van 26 juni 2013 betreffende gemeenschappelijke procedures voor de toekenning en intrekking van de internationale bescherming (herschikking), PbEU 2013, L 180/60.
The long history of a melanoma associated with a congenital large plaque type blue nevus with subcutaneous cellular nodules
Authors: Savoia Francesco , Gaddoni Giuseppe , Re Giuseppe , Crisanti Emilia 
Published: September 2015

The term large plaque type blue nevus with subcutaneous cellular nodules (LPTBN-SN) refers to a huge blue nevus, usually located on the trunk, that develops subcutaneous nodules many years after the lesion has appeared. The potential malignancy of an LPTBN-SN was only discovered in 2012.
We report the case of a 56-year-old Caucasian man that developed a cutaneous melanoma on an LPTBN-SN of the trunk. The first diagnosis was made more than 10 years before his death due to melanoma metastasis.
The case reported here highlights the malignant potential of an LPTBN-SN, the very long course even without treatment and the possible coexistence of benign, borderline or malignant subcutaneous nodules in the same LPTBN-SN.
Patients with large congenital blue nevi should be advised on the potential oncologic transformation of these lesions, the importance of follow-ups should be emphasized and, whenever possible, a preventive complete surgical removal should be evaluated before subcutaneous nodules develop.

Importance5-alpha-reductase-inhibitors (5-ARIs) are approved for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and have been found to reduce prostate cancer (PCa) risk by 25%. However, trials also have shown 5-ARIs to be associated with high-grade PCa. Whether 5-ARIs increase mortality among those with a diagnosis of PCa remains unclear.ObjectiveTo determine long-term outcomes of clinically localized PCa arising in individuals taking 5-ARIs compared with nonusers.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis population-based cohort study was conducted between January 2003 and October 2017. Eligible participants were men aged 65 years or older in Ontario, Canada, who developed clinically localized PCa with complete pathological abstraction from the Ontario Health Administrative Databases. Data analysis occurred from November 2017 to November 2022.Exposure5-ARIs before PCa diagnosis.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were overall mortality and PCa-specific mortality. Cause-specific hazard models with inverse probability treatment weights (IPTW) were used to examine associations of 5-ARI use with mortality outcomes. Sensitivity analyses based on prediagnostic 5-ARI use, Gleason score, comorbidity, 5-ARI indication, prostate-specific antigen modeling, and statin use were also performed.ResultsThe cohort included 19 938 patients with PCa. Of these, 2112 (10.6%; median [IQR] age, 74 [70-79] years) were 5-ARI users and 17 826 (89.4%; median [IQR] age, 71 [68-76] years) were nonusers. During a median (IQR) follow-up of 8.96 (6.28-12.17) years, 6053 (30.4%) died, including 1047 (5.3%) from PCa. 5-ARI use appeared to be associated with increased overall and PCa specific mortality in crude analyses; however, after IPTW, 5-ARI use was not associated with overall mortality (hazard ratio, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.90-1.07; P = .77) or PCa-specific mortality (hazard ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.83-1.25; P = .84).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this population-based cohort study of 5-ARI use prior to PCa diagnosis including long-term follow-up and clinicopathologic details, prediagnostic 5-ARI use was not associated with PCa-specific or all-cause mortality. This study offers reassuring safety data for patients using 5-ARIs before PCa diagnosis for both BPH and chemopreventive reasons.

AbstractThe challenge of inadequate mechano‐electrochemical stability in rechargeable fibrous Zn‐ion batteries (FZIBs) has emerged as a critical challenge for their broad applications. Traditional rigid Zn wires struggle to maintain a stable electrochemical interface when subjected to external mechanical stress. To address this issue, a wet‐spinning technique has been developed to fabricate Zn powder based fibrous anode, while carbon nanotubes (CNTs) introduced to enhance the spinnability of Zn powder dispersion. The followed annealing treatment has been conducted to reengineer the Zn crystalline texture with CNTs assisted surface tension regulation to redirect (002) crystallographic textural formation. The thus‐derived annealed Zn@CNTs fiber demonstrates great mechano‐electrochemical stability after a long‐term bending and electrochemical process. The fabricated FZIB demonstrates a remarkable durability, surpassing 800 h at 1 mA cm−2 and 1 mAh cm−2, with a marginal voltage hysteresis increase of 21.7 mV even after 100 twisting cycles under 180 degree twisting angle. The assembled FZIB full cell displays an 88.6% capacity retention even after a long cycle of a series of bending, knotting, and straightening deformation. It has been also woven into a 200 cm2 size textile to demonstrate its capability to integrate into smart textiles.

Published: August 2024

AbstractNeuromorphic visual systems (NVSs) hold the potential to not only preserve but also enhance human visual capabilities. One such augmentation lies in harnessing polarization information from light reflected or scattered off surfaces like bees, which can disclose unique characteristics imperceptible to the human eyes. While creating polarization‐sensitive optoelectronic synapses presents an intriguing avenue for equipping NVS with this capability, integrating functions like polarization sensitivity, photodetection, and synaptic operations into a singular device has proven challenging. This integration typically necessitates distinct functional components for each performance metric, leading to intricate fabrication processes and constraining overall performance. Herein, a pioneering linear polarized light sensitive synaptic organic phototransistor (OPT) based on 2D molecular crystals (2DMCs) with highly integrated, all‐in‐one functionality, is demonstrated. By leveraging the superior crystallinity and molecular thinness of 2DMC, the synaptic OPT exhibits comprehensive superior performance, including a linear dichroic ratio up to 3.85, a high responsivity of 1.47 × 104 A W−1, and the adept emulation of biological synapse functions. A sophisticated application in noncontact fingerprint detection achieves a 99.8% recognition accuracy, further highlights its potential. The all‐in‐one 2DMC optoelectronic synapse for polarization‐sensitive NVS marks a new era for intelligent perception systems.
Anatase‐Rutile TiO2@V4C3Tx MXene for Omnidirectional Electrocatalytic Water Splitting

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe quest for composite materials with unique features that each component, inherently, does not have is always an aspirational but challenging task. Among Transition metal oxides (TMOs), TiO2 emerged as a prototype due to its earth abundance, environmental friendliness, and cost‐effectiveness, which has shown high activity for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Unfortunately, TiO2 is inert for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) because it has poor electrical conductivity and unfavorable hydrogen adsorption/desorption behavior. Herein the revitalization of inert TiO2 for overall water splitting, i.e., both HER and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is reported by anchoring rutile‐anatase (a/r) TiO2 nanoparticles on the ‐OH/‐F terminated V4C3Tx MXene, giving an a/r TiO2@V4C3Tx heterostructure. The synergetic effect showcases remarkable pH‐independent HER activity with an overpotential of 35, 39, and 82 mV in 0.5 m H2SO4, 1 m KOH, and 1 m phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) respectively. The catalyst also exhibits a pH‐independent OER activity with the lowest overpotential of 217, 267, and 292 mV in 1 m KOH, 0.5 m H2SO4, and 1 m PBS respectively, that outperforms pure TiO2. These findings, for the first time, support the success of anatase‐rutile TiO2@V4C3Tx MXene in omnidirectional performance, with low overpotential and pH independence, which pave an avenue for finding cost‐effective catalysts in overall water splitting.

Published: August 2024

AbstractMolecular identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) plays an important role in various applications including environmental monitoring and smart farming. Mid‐infrared (MIR) fingerprint absorption spectroscopy is a powerful tool to extract chemical‐specific features for gas identification. However, the detection and recognition of trace VOC gas mixtures remain challenging due to their intrinsic weak light–matter interaction and highly overlapped absorption spectra. Here, an artificial intelligence‐enhanced “photonic nose” for MIR spectroscopic analysis of trace VOC gas mixtures is proposed. To enhance the sensing performance by increasing bandwidth and sensitivity, the “photonic nose” is designed to employ coupled multi‐resonant plasmonic nanoantennas to cover MIR molecular fingerprints, coated with metal–organic frameworks as the gas enrichment layer. Low limits of detection are achieved (IPA: 1.99 ppm, ethanol: 3.43 ppm, and acetone: 9.82 ppm). With machine learning, a high classification accuracy of 100% is realized for 125 mixing ratios (IPA, ethanol: both 5 concentrations, 0–130 ppm; acetone: 5 concentrations, 0–201 ppm), and low‐deviation component concentration predictions of root‐mean‐squared error within 10 ppm are achieved for IPA and ethanol (both 0–130 ppm) under interference from 50 ppm acetone. The work paves the way for intelligent sensing platforms for environmental monitoring and smart framing.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe synthesis of two stereoisomers of hydroindole derivatives was achieved through [3+2] annulations of p‐quinamines with nitroalkenes. Catalyst‐free or in the presence of DMAP, the annulation reactions were employed to produce the target products containing four contiguous stereogenic centers. This method enables the efficient construction of multisubstituted and functionalized hydroindole derivatives from readily accessible building blocks and reagents. Furthermore, the anti‐inflammatory activity of some resulting hydroindoles was evaluated, with three derivative products showing effective inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Published: August 2024

AbstractMali is among Africa's three biggest cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)‐producing countries, and cotton growing is the principal driving force behind Mali's agricultural sector. Cotton production is rainfed on small‐scale family farms as a commercial crop alongside staple crops grown for subsistence. Cultivar choice, planting date, and planting density are critical elements for seed cotton yield that should be optimized. This study aimed to understand the interactions between planting dates and planting densities for the optimal production of four cotton cultivars in Mali. Two trials were set up in two seasons at the Finkolo and N'Tarla research stations. A split‐plot design with four replications was used, with planting dates (early and delayed by 3 weeks) as the main plots and planting density (41,666; 83,333; and 166,666 plants/ha) and cultivar (Malian NTA MS334, Togolese STAM 129A, Australian SIOKRA L23, and Brazilian BRS 293) as the subplots. In 2021, seed cotton yield was 1263 kg/ha for early planting versus 361 kg/ha for late planting. Medium and high planting densities produced the same yield level, higher than the low planting density. Regardless of the planting density, early plantings' average capsular weight and seed index were higher than those of late plantings. The African cultivars (STAM 129A and Malian cultivar NTA MS334) were the most productive. Due to significant interactions on fiber percentage and to optimize cotton yields in Mali, planting should be early, with planting densities higher than 41,666 plants/ha, and either of the African cultivars tested should be used.

Published: August 2024

AbstractStimuli responsive optical materials are attractive for many areas, from healthcare to art design. However, creating intricate color‐changing patterns for visual information is still a challenge. This work describes the preparation of mechanochromic structural colored intricate pictures imprinted in cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers by using a chiral isosorbide molecular photoswitch. The photoswitch contains a photoisomerizable cinnamate moiety and was incorporated in a main chain liquid crystal oligomer with photopolymerizable acrylate end groups. After coating, the structural colored film was irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) light in air causing E/Z isomerization of the cinnamate units leading to a redshift of the structural color of the film. A grayscale photomask was used to spatially control the photoisomerization reaction and imprint colorful pictures such as portraits and landscapes, in the cholesteric liquid crystal films with high resolution. Photopolymerization in a nitrogen atmosphere led to a mechanochromic cholesteric liquid crystal elastomer with striking structural colors that blueshift upon strain. The sharp details of the patterns were preserved even under deformation and the system returned to the initial state upon strain removal. Our work offers a simple photoswitch approach to prepare stimuli responsive optical polymers imprinted with color‐changing pictures of unprecedented complexity.
Boryloxy Titanium Complex‐Enabled High Polar Monomer Contents in Catalytic Copolymerization of Olefins

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe preparation of polyolefins with high polar monomer contents (above 20 mol %) has long been a challenge. Half‐titanocenes (Cp′)[HCN(Ar)]2BOTiCl2 bearing bulky electron‐donating N‐heterocyclic boryloxy ligands have been designed and synthesized. The complexes (Cp*)[HCN(Ar)]2BOTiCl2 (2, Ar=2,6‐iPr2C6H3; 5, Ar=2,4,6‐Me3C6H2) supported by Cp* and the boryloxy ligands have been shown to efficiently catalyze the copolymerization of ethylene and long chain α‐olefins. In particular, precatalyst 5 enabled the controlled synthesis of poly(ethylene‐co‐9‐decen‐1‐ol) with unprecedented high polar monomer contents up to 32.1 mol % while maintaining the high catalytic activity. The structural analysis and DFT calculations disclosed that the bulky and strong electron‐donating boryloxy ligands could effectively stabilize cationic active species. The mechanical studies on the hydroxyl‐functionalized copolymers disclosed that they exhibited high strength and toughness because of the existence of hydrogen bonds in the polymer network.
