Permutations of Remembrance and (Counter-) Monumentalization: John Mccrae’sin Flanders Fields

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract The article engages with the cultural impact of John McCrae’s canonical poem “In Flanders Fields” (1915), and more specifically the permutations of cultural memory and heritage discourse in In Flanders Fields: 100 Years: Writing on War, Loss and Remembrance , edited by Amanda Betts and published in 2015. It shows how thirteen Canadians explore the revolutionary role of the poem in Canadian collective and individual memory, as well as its omissions and misrepresentations. The article juxtaposes the cultural history of the poem with Wilfred Owen’s “Dulce et Decorum Est” and its contemporary transformations, also showing how selected essays in the collection bridge the First World War with other armed conflicts. Applying Ann Rigney’s terminology, the article approaches the poem as a textual monument, demonstrating how “In Flanders Fields” has evolved from the role of a stabilizer in Canadian cultural memory, providing a cultural frame for later recollections, to that of a calibrator , becoming a benchmark for critical reflection on dominant memorial practices.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Background. Gastric banding (GB) is a common bariatric procedure that is performed worldwide. Weight loss can be substantial after this procedure, but it is not sufficient in a significant portion of patients. Long-term rates for associated complications increase with every year of follow up, and only a few long-term studies have been published that examine these rates. We present our results after 14 years of postoperative follow up. Methods. Two hundred patients were operated upon form 01.02.1995 to 31.01.2009. Data collection was performed prospectively. In retrospective analysis, we analyzed weight loss, short- and long-term complications, amelioration of comorbidities and long-term outcome. Results. The mean postoperative follow up time was 94.4 months (range 2–144). The follow up rate was 83.5%. The incidence of postoperative complications for slippage was 2.5%, for pouch dilatation was 9.5%, for band migration was 5.5 % and 12.0 % for overall band removal. After 14 years, the reoperation rate was 30.5 % with

Early and late complications of suprapubic cystostomy – Report of two cases

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Suprapubic cystostomy (SPC), although a common procedure, may be associated with complications. We present two cases of transperitoneal tract of SPC. The early complication was ileal perforation, resulting in perforation peritonitis and late complication was incisional hernia around the SPC tract. Avoiding peritoneal violation helps in preventing such complications.
Effects of punishment for errors on discrimination learning by humans.

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Describes 3 studies in which Ss performed a difficult position discrimination task under different levels of punishment threat. 48, 64, and 64 undergraduates, respectively, served as Ss. The punishment operation consisted of presentations of a loud, medium, or soft 2700-Hz tone following errors. In Exp. I, the medium-tone punishment produced more accurate responding than the other 2 tones the Yerkes-Dodson effect. Responses latencies were also longer under the medium tone than the other 2 tones, an unexpected finding. In Exp. II, the inverted U function of the effect of punishment level on response latency was replicated under more stringent conditions. In Exp. III, effects of punishment contengency and relative frequency of the stimulus events were examined. Noncontingent punishment produced poorer choice performance than contingent punishment, especially when the loud tone was used. Results are compared with predictions from D. L. LaBerge's (see 37:4) recruitment theory, which accounts well for the choice data, but less well for the latency data. (20 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
SIMULATION OF CONTROL FUNCTIONS FOR SHIP STABILITY? A USER ORIENTED FLEXIBLE TOOL

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Ship stability requires flexible and reliable tools for the simulation of effects produced by the control actions. Stability problems represent a fundamental issue especially in semisubmersible vessels, where the variability of operating conditions covers a side range of values. A simulator has been developed in order to face two important problems. Viz working out the expected changes in stability conditions as consequence of load, crane and ballast operations and, on the other hand, obtaining an advice related to the modality of ballasting operations to achieve the target condition. A mathematical model has been developed to compute the vessel position with respect to pitch, roll and heave; the displacement and the stability margin have also been worked out. The system checks if stability requirements are satisfied in the actual simulated condition and analyses the hydraulic network system. Three automation levels have been taken into account: manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic level. Great care has been taken in providing the system with a user-friendly interface.
Enterprise zones in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evolution, rationalization, processes evaluation and outcomes

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The history and development of Enterprise Zones, as both a deliberate government policy of integrating the economies of Sub-Saharan African into the global stream and as a trade policy instrument of re-adjustments and limited resource acquisition option, have different and varied intendments for the countries that implemented them. However, what seems evident from their current, and rather rapid proliferation, is that they soon became a preferred policy option, with significantly little evidence of improvements or changes in sub-regional market developments, employment, GDP or FDI. The objective of this paper is an attempt to answer some questions occasioned by the apparent failure of these initiatives: the reasons for the proliferate establishment; reasons or factors that explain the seeming disparate applications and outcome. This will be achieved through an evaluation of selected countries’ data and determining the success factors and failures of the Enterprise Zones’ experiment. The evaluation of data and case review indicate an inconclusive, mixed bag of outcomes that could be explained by disparate sub-regional processes’ application, national infrastructural disparities and policies’ inconsistencies. Finally, it is hoped that this exercise offers fresh insights into the dynamics of implementation, as well as identify a policy or implementation lapses, make recommendations, and possible new areas of research. Key words: Enterprise zone development, processes evaluation, outcomes, markets development, Sub-Saharan Africa.
Semantic feature salience matters: new values of significance and relative weight for the Spanish feature norms for young and older adults

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract To determine the semantic importance of certain features has been a topic of interest for many semantic memory models. Diverse measures have been proposed in the last years. Semantic significance, the latest measure proposed by Montefinese and colleagues, is both sophisticated and comprehensive. Given the cultural and linguistic variability of semantic measures, this study presents values of significance and relative weight for the Spanish-speaking population corresponding to 400 concrete concepts. First, we presented data for both young and older adults. Second, we assessed the effect of significance on response times in two speeded feature verification tasks. Third, we compared significance values with the existing Italian significance norms. To evaluate the effect of significance to predict response times, two speeded verification tasks (Experiment 1 and 2) were carried out, selecting a total of a 130 concepts for analysis. In Experiment 1, subjects were presented with a feature followed by a concept, while in Experiment 2, the order of stimulus presentation was reversed (i.e., the concept was presented before the feature). An independent linear mixed model showed that significance was a good predictor of response latencies in Experiments 1 and 2. Moreover, results revealed a strong positive correlation between the Spanish and Italian significance values. Findings are discussed in terms of recent theories of semantic cognition.
Keynote: Meeting Complexities Head-On: Leveraging Global Software Development for Competitiveness

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Necessitated by economic and market forces, the last two decades have witnessed a quantum leap in global dispersion of software development work, signifying the emergence of global software development (GSD) as an important driver of business value. Whilst most companies have jumped on the GSD bandwagon, evidence suggests that firms do not (or are not able to) systematically harness the full potential of GSD, resulting in sub-optimal value capture. This can often be attributed to a tactical approach towards GSD, absence of a realization that managing GSD is an acquired competency, and to insufficient insight into the structure and dynamics of GSD.

A View from the South. France in African Eyes: Universalism and Francophonie Reassessed

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

To deal with the 'French exception' in regards to African writers and thinkers' is first and foremost to explore the journey of a discourse in the Other's imaginary and intellectual territory. Indeed, French exceptionalism, at least at the moment of its inception, was a discourse, but not any kind of discourse. It was (and still is) to a certain extent, a performative discourse, in Austin's sense (Austin 1975). As such, it aimed at putting into action words whose capacity for being real-ised rests, as Bourdieu shows, on them being uttered within institutions vested with the authority and power to enable them (1991). Even though the notion of French exceptionalism has appeared only in the last 20 years (Godin and Chafer 2005), the idea itself is apparently contemporary with the foundation of the French nation. Already in the late 18th century, authoritative politicians and organic intellectuals of the modern French state like Abbé Grégoire (Sepinwall 2005) and Jules Michelet (Hewlett 2005) sketched out its meaning in their own writings. Only more recently has a body of scholarly research appeared which is less concerned with manufacturing the exceptionalism of France than unveiling the fundamentals on which the purported exceptionalism is built. Some heuristic theoretical propositions have stemmed from this literature.KeywordsFrench RevolutionFrench LanguageAfrican LanguageFrench NationFrench CivilisationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

The Impact of Changing Rainfall Variability on Resource-Dependent Wealth Dynamics

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Climate change is widely expected to lead to changing rainfall variability and thus to changing frequency of drought. In places where drought is a major driver of agroecosystem dynamics, as in the extensive livestock grazing systems that dominate Africa's sprawling arid and semi-arid lands, changing rainfall variability can fundamentally alter human wealth dynamics. We use subjective livestock herd growth expectations data elicited from Boran pastoralists in southern Ethiopia to generate estimates of herd dynamics conditional on rainfall state. The climate state-conditional estimates permit simulation of herd dynamics under different rainfall patterns. The multiple herd size equilibria observed in multiple pastoralist household data sets from the region appear sensitive to climate regimes. Reduced rainfall variability that significantly reduces drought frequency would eliminate, in expectation, the poverty trap equilibrium that presently exists only for households with herd sizes beneath a threshold level. Conversely, if the drought frequency more than doubles relative to recent patterns, then the whole system becomes a poverty trap, in expectation.
Sertraline inhibits stress-induced tumor growth through regulating CD8+ T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Chronic stress has been reported to be associated with tumor initiation and progression. But the underlying mechanism and the specific role of tumor immunity in this process are still unknown. Herein, we applied the repeated restrain stress model in C57BL/6J mice and found that the tumor growth in stressed mice was accelerated compared with that in control mice. In addition, serotonin, also called 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), in the serum of stressed mice was also elevated. Sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor used in the clinic, can restore the serum 5-HT level in stressed mice and restrain tumor growth. We further explored the distribution of major immune cells, including B lymphocytes cells, T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) and regulatory T cells (Treg). We found that the infiltration of CD8 + T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) decreased significantly in stressed mice. And the extra 5-HT treatment could further decrease the infiltration of CD8 + T cells in the TME. The expression of IFN-γ and Granular enzyme B (GzmB) in CD8 + T cells were also dropped in the stressed mice group, whereas the expression of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) on CD8 + T cells was increased. The T cell deficiency induced by stress can be reversed by sertraline, indicating its promising role in strengthening the efficacy of anti-PDL1/PD-1 immunotherapy. The present study provides new mechanistic insights into the impact of chronic stress on antitumor immunity and implicates a novel combined immunotherapy strategy for cancer patients with chronic stress.
Alan William Cuthbert. 7 May 1932—27 August 2016

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Alan Cuthbert carried out ground-breaking work on epithelial ion transport. He used radiolabelled amiloride and benzamil to measure the sodium channel density in epithelia from frog skin and toad bladder, tissues that are good models for the distal section of the mammalian kidney tubule. This work shed important new light on how the properties of these channels are modified by hormones such as aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone, and increased our understanding of how diuretics affect kidney function. Later, he focused on the ion transport deficits that underlie cystic fibrosis (CF), and was a member of the team that showed that the ion transport defect could be corrected in CF transgenic mice by gene therapy. Alan was Sheild Professor of Pharmacology and Head of the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge from 1979 until his retirement in 1999. During this time he was instrumental in moving the Department from the Addenbrooke's Hospital site to a new building in the centre of town. He was also Master of Fitzwilliam College from 1991 until 1999. Alan made major contributions to pharmacology nationally and internationally, serving as chairman of the editorial board of the British Journal of Pharmacology for eight years, and as President of the Federation of European Pharmacological Societies for two years. In recognition of his contributions to the subject, the British Pharmacological Society awarded him their Wellcome Gold Medal in 2005. After his retirement, he continued his research in the Department of Medicine, pursuing novel pharmacological approaches to the treatment of CF.
ANALYSIS OF THE LONG-RUN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND BANK CREDIT AVAILABILITY IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to Analyze of the Relationship between Business Cycles and Bank Credit Extension: Evidence from South Africa. The study sought establish the direction of causality between economic growth and bank credit growth in South AfricaMethodology: The econometric methodology is used to augment results of the survey study. Granger causality test technique is applied to the variables of interest to test for direction of causation between variables. The study uses quarterly data for the period of 1980: Q1 to 2013: Q4. Business cycles are determined and measured by Gross Domestic Product at market prices while bank-granted credit is proxied by credit extension to the private sector.Results: Results revealed that, that there is a stable long-run relationship between macro-economic business cycles and real credit growth in South Africa. The results show that economic growth significantly causes and stimulates bank credit. The Granger causality test provides evidence of unidirectional causal relationship with direction from economic growth to credit extension for South Africa. The study results indicate that the case for demand-following hypothesis is stronger than supply-leading hypothesis in South Africa. Economic growth spurs credit market development in South Africa.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It proposes practical policy prescriptions to address challenges currently facing South Africa. The other major contribution of this study is that it shall open new avenues for further research on finding causality of the relationship between various proxies of economic growth and financial development adopting the VAR framework
IS ADVANCED ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN PRODUCING GASTRIC CANCER TREATABLE?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We illustrated a patient with advanced alpha-fetoprotein producing gastric cancer, who was treated with chemotherapy combined with trastuzumab, resulting in complete response in four months after therapy. It has been 5 years after his initial therapy, he is now healthy and shows no evidence of tumor recurrence. The efcacy of the trastuzumab therapy in breast cancer patients prompted studies to evaluate potential clinical benet of the drug in patients with HER2 positive gastric cancer. The largest study, ToGA trial, has published a promising result leading FDA to approve the use of trastuzumab for HER2 positive gastric and gastroesophageal cancer. We discuss the need for the standardized assay method for HER2 status. We also bring attention to the existence of intratumoral heterogeneity in gastric cancer tissue which may cause false negative test for HER2 assay
