Full textAbstract:
Although French contacts with Texas go back 300 years, the first permanent mass settlement by francophones began at the turn of the twentieth century when a class of rural migrant workers spilled across the Sabine River from Louisiana settling the open prairies along the principal transportation routes between Beaumont and Houston. Shortly thereafter, the establishment of oil refineries in the Golden Triangle area attracted other Cajuns. Following a momentary pause during the depression years, migration picked up once again as numerous war related industries developed in the Port Arthur area. Today the primarily urban Cajun population of East Texas is less and less conscious of its ethnic differences with mainstream America. Three different associations have been formed to maintain and promote ethnic identity and the use of French.

This article reviews how reverse engineering is used in detecting and preserving. Engineers across many disciplines find reverse engineering an invaluable tool to discover and learn about a product’s structure and design. A good forensic engineer will glean relevant information through meticulous investigation and by taking a reverse-engineering approach. Texas Tech University, the National Park Service, and the Historic American Buildings Survey are now creating digital architectural drawings to detail the 120-year-old statue’s every curve, cranny, and dimension. They are doing this through reverse engineering. The university is capturing the statue's unique architecture with three-dimensional laser scanning technology tied to geometry processing software, which automatically generates an accurate digital model from the scan data. To help align the scans and to fix the holes, the team turned to technology that creates surface models from scanned data. The software is Geomagic Studio, from Raindrop Geomagic of Research Triangle Park, NC.

The Central American refugee crisis has been aggravated by the Trump administration’s policies, but this administration certainly did not precipitate it. The first half of this article examines the determinant role US policy played—and continues to play—in the violence that has sent tens of thousands of refugees to the US-Mexico border, showing how Carl Schmitt’s friend-enemy distinction has repeatedly been used to represent Central Americans as the existential enemy. From Ronald Reagan through Bill Clinton, administrations crafted policies toward the Central American enemy, directly creating the gang violence in the Northern Triangle. This article considers if the cost of security for the US citizenship is borne by the insecurity of Central American citizenship. The second half of the article examines fictionalized accounts drawn from the testimonies of women held in detention at Dilley, Texas, the existential enemy par excellence of the Trump administration. The reasons for their flight elucidate the particular ways in which gang violence against them and their children is gendered, showing how heteropatriarchy is decisive in both Mara violence and ICE and Border Patrol response to that violence, as evidenced in the experience of these women and their families.

This cross-sectional study examined the prevalence of self-reported playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) and stress-related health problems among percussionists. Data for the present study were extracted from the University of North Texas Musician Health Survey (UNT-MHS) data set. Subjects (n = 279) were included if they identified auxiliary percussion (i.e., tambourine, triangle, bells, rattle, wood block), drum set, marimba, steel drum, timpani, vibraphone, xylophone, or other percussion as their primary instrument. Prevalence rates for PRMDs and stress-related health problems were determined for the total percussion group and for separate instrument categories. Of the total group, 77% reported one or more PRMDs. The keyboard percussionists (marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, and steel drum) reported the significantly highest prevalence (89%), followed by auxiliary and other percussionists (79%) and membranophone percussionists, including drum set and timpani (74%). The highest region-specific prevalence of PRMDs for the whole group was found in the bilateral hand and low back regions. Stress due to work environment was considered moderate to high by 75% of the respondents. Regarding stress-related health problems, percussionists reported primarily problems with fatigue, depression, and stage fright. The overall findings of this study show that PRMDs and stress-related health problems are a major concern for percussionists and warrant further research.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe realization of subjectivity through language use is a key concern of sociolinguistic research. We argue for examining it by juxtaposing Goffman's participation framework and Du Bois’ stance triangle. We focus on museums’ commenting platforms as ‘stance-rich’ media (Du Bois 2007:151) by examining the communicative affordances of a visitor book at the Florida Holocaust Museum and analyzing museumgoers’ texts (3,064). These texts are homogeneous in their morally indignant evaluation of the Holocaust and their alignment with the museum, but heterogeneous in positioning and participation framework. Museumgoers’ texts are highly responsive to the setting and previous discourses of the museum and include patterns of shared authorship and principalship. These patterns allow museumgoers to construct shared, institutionally mandated, subjectivities while maintaining personal commitment. These findings contribute to our understanding of the construction of subjectivity as inherently dialogic, and as involving the purposeful use of a multiplicity of contextual resources. (Participation framework, stance triangle, repetitions, principalship, commitment, Holocaust, museums, visitor books)

Although the methods of plane trigonometry became the cornerstone of classical Indian mathematical astronomy, the corresponding techniques for exact solution of triangles on the sphere’s surface seem never to have been independently developed within this tradition. Numerous rules nevertheless appear in Sanskrit texts for finding the great-circle arcs representing various astronomical quantities; these were presumably derived not by spherics per se but from plane triangles inside the sphere or from analemmatic projections, and were supplemented by approximate formulas assuming small spherical triangles to be plane.

Full textAbstract:
Derrida always stipulates that deconstruction is not a ‘method’. But deconstruction nevertheless involves a certain strategy and protocol: terms that both designate a process and serve as an example of that process. Derrida's deployment of these terms clarifies how his analyses of logocentrism anticipate the political texts of his later career. In his early texts, Derrida famously shows how the dyad of speech and writing is a ‘violent hierarchy’ in which speech is everywhere privileged. I show how, by contrast, his later analysis of law and force necessarily redoubles this strategy because each of these terms is privileged in rival traditions of political thought.

Warren, Robert, and Donald Kerwin. "The 2,000 Mile Wall in Search of a Purpose: Since 2007 Visa Overstays have Outnumbered Undocumented Border Crossers by a Half Million." Journal on Migration and Human Security 5, no. 1 (March 2017): 124–36. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/233150241700500107.
Full textAbstract:
The Trump administration has made the construction of an “impregnable” 2,000-mile wall across the length of the US-Mexico border a centerpiece of its executive orders on immigration and its broader immigration enforcement strategy. This initiative has been broadly criticized based on: • Escalating cost projections: an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) study recently set the cost at $21.6 billion over three and a half years; • Its necessity given the many other enforcement tools — video surveillance, drones, ground sensors, and radar technologies — and Border Patrol personnel, that cover the US-Mexico border: former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff and other experts have argued that a wall does not add enforcement value except in heavy crossing areas near towns, highways, or other “vanishing points” (Kerwin 2016); • Its cost-effectiveness given diminished Border Patrol apprehensions (to roughly one-fourth the level of historic highs) and reduced illegal entries (to roughly one-tenth the 2005 level according to an internal DHS study) (Martinez 2016); • Its efficacy as an enforcement tool: between FY 2010 and FY 2015, the current 654-mile pedestrian wall was breached 9,287 times (GAO 2017, 22); • Its inability to meet the administration's goal of securing “operational control” of the border, defined as “the prevention of all unlawful entries to the United States” (White House 2017); • Its deleterious impact on bi-national border communities, the environment, and property rights (Heyman 2013); and • Opportunity costs in the form of foregone investments in addressing the conditions that drive large-scale migration, as well as in more effective national security and immigration enforcement strategies. The Center for Migration Studies (CMS) has reported on the dramatic decline in the US undocumented population between 2008 and 2014 (Warren 2016). In addition, a growing percentage of border crossers in recent years have originated in the Northern Triangle states of Central America (CBP 2016). These migrants are fleeing pervasive violence, persecution, and poverty, and a large number do not seek to evade arrest, but present themselves to border officials and request political asylum. Many are de facto refugees, not illegal border crossers. This report speaks to another reason to question the necessity and value of a 2,000-mile wall: It does not reflect the reality of how the large majority of persons now become undocumented. It finds that two-thirds of those who arrived in 2014 did not illegally cross a border, but were admitted (after screening) on non-immigrant (temporary) visas, and then overstayed their period of admission or otherwise violated the terms of their visas. Moreover, this trend in increasing percentages of visa overstays will likely continue into the foreseeable future. The report presents information about the mode of arrival of the undocumented population that resided in the United States in 2014. To simplify the presentation, it divides the 2014 population into two groups: overstays and entries without inspection (EWIs). The term overstay, as used in this paper, refers to undocumented residents who entered the United States with valid temporary visas and subsequently established residence without authorization. The term EWI refers to undocumented residents who entered without proper immigration documents across the southern border. The estimates are based primarily on detailed estimates of the undocumented population in 2014 compiled by CMS and estimates of overstays for 2015 derived by DHS. Major findings include the following: • In 2014, about 4.5 million US residents, or 42 percent of the total undocumented population, were overstays. • Overstays accounted for about two-thirds (66 percent) of those who arrived (i.e., joined the undocumented population) in 2014. • Overstays have exceeded EWIs every year since 2007, and 600,000 more overstays than EWIs have arrived since 2007. • Mexico is the leading country for both overstays and EWIs; about one-third of undocumented arrivals from Mexico in 2014 were overstays. • California has the largest number of overstays (890,000), followed by New York (520,000), Texas (475,000), and Florida (435,000). • Two states had 47 percent of the 6.4 million EWIs in 2014: California (1.7 million) and Texas (1.3 million). • The percentage of overstays varies widely by state: more than two-thirds of the undocumented who live in Hawaii, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania are overstays. By contrast, the undocumented population in Kansas, Arkansas, and New Mexico consists of fewer than 25 percent overstays.

One of the not so obvious but deeply relevant factors in addressing climate change is religion and the interpretation of sacred texts, especially problematic ones. An example of problematic texts is the story of Noah and the great flood in Genesis 6–9. I will reread the Yahwist and Priestly versions of the story using a modified ecological triangle. This methodology looks at the dynamic relation between the divine and human, between the divine and non-human creatures, between humans and non-humans, and the inner dynamics of these three in the J and P narratives. The various insights gleaned from the investigation impact our rethinking of sacred texts in the age of the Anthropocene (the period during which human activity has been a dominant influence on climate and the environment), respecting boundaries in the context of the Capitalocene way of organizing the relations between humans and the rest of nature. The article provides additional spiritual resources in responding to the climate crisis, and grappling with disturbing images of God, humans, and non-humans in sacred texts in times of disasters.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing, intensely pruritic dermatosis that usually affects infants, children, and young adults. The treatment of AD entails an individualized regimen that depends on the age of the patient, the stage and variety of lesions present, the sites and extent of involvement, the presence of infection, and the previous response to treatment. Objectives: To identify the evidence surrounding potential strategies for closing these gaps—ultimately improving the quality of care, the care process itself, and patient outcomes—and to encourage discussions that help develop tools to bridge the gap between suggested therapy and what is done by the patient. Methods: Review of the literature including searches on PubMed Central and Medline and in seminal dermatology texts. Results: There are several disconnections between the evidence-based guidelines in the management of AD, what the individual dermatologist recommends, and what the patient does. Conclusion: Applying the concept of the care triangle requires a balance of evidence-based medicine, the physician's experiences and the patient's needs and expectations in the decisions surrounding appropriate management of the disease.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines a literary triangle treating a modern re-imagining of the Dantean Inferno in Caribbean migrant experience. Sam Selvon’s The Lonely Londoners advanced a stylistic and intellectual revolution in post-World War II British literature, inspiring Colin MacInnes’ Absolute Beginners in the founding literary texts of contemporary British multi-cultural society. It followed the template of Jean Rhys Voyage in the Dark. We must read these complex texts to understand the conflicted multi-cultural society that Britain has become today: they deal with identity and solidarity, atomisation and commodification, Empire and capitalism, while throwing light on the most recent advances in historical and theoretical scholarship by pioneers such as Olivette Otele and Reni Eddo-Lodge. Moreover, these texts throw new light on unanswered Structuralist and Post-Structuralist debates from Emile Durkheim to Martin Heidegger. This article examines the intersectionality of class, gender and race within both the national British framework of post-war capitalism and the wider colonial heritage of slavery and forced labour, highlighting voices who articulated an ideal of multi-cultural humanism that remains crucial today.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the motif structure of the main characters in Dostoevsky’s The Eternal Husband against the background of menippea and its various genres. The parodic transformations of the images and motifs of Dostoevsky's previous texts, especially the novel The Idiot, modify the traditional love triangle of the short story. The relationship between the protagonist and the antagonist reflects the ambivalence of the archetypal scheme “king vs jester” and the way it appears in Hugo’s romantic drama Le Roi s’amuse and Verdi’s opera Rigoletto. The plot of revenge and vindication of trampled dignity dates back to the genre of medieval mock mystery (R. Jakobson) and its narrative of the Easter resurrection, posing the problem of Christianity and its values in the Russian society of the time.

Full textAbstract:
The review discusses N. Perlina’s monograph about the problem of ekphrasis in Dostoevsky’s ‘most mysterious’ novel The Idiot [Idiot] (1868) and highlights advantages and disadvantages of her study. The review contains a summary of key Russian bibliography about ekphrasis in literature (L. Geller, R. Poddubtsev, E. Novikova, O. Dzhumaylo, etc.). It is noted that, despite studying ekphrasis, many philologists may not actually use the term in their research. The review touches on Perlina’s polemic with another renowned scholar of the novel, T. Kasatkina. Perlina’s monograph is structured into six discernable parts: Excursus into the Theory of Ekphrasis, Meetings with People and Portraits, Pictures of Executions and Conversations about Faith, Cervantes – Dostoevsky, Myshkin – Don Quixote, The Triangle Nastasya Filippovna – Myshkin – Aglaya: Pictures of Struggling Hearts, and Implied Ekphrasis Stories in the Novel’s Fourth Part. A vague authorial position is deemed the biggest downside of Perlina’s book.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Text segmentation from land map images is a non-trivial task as map components are interleaved and overlapped in a complex spatial form. The characters in a word in most of the Indic languages, including Bangla (the 6th most spoken language in the world), are connected through a headline (”matra” or ”shirorekha”) which makes the corresponding word a single component. It has been observed that the Delaunay triangulation (DT) forms a number of small triangles on the text regions compared to other regions of the map - a property very much discernible for Bangla (and some other Indic scripts) texts. This property is primarily exploited here to segment text from the complex background of the land map images. The proposed text segmentation approach is tested and compared with an existing method on a collected dataset of paper map images( containing Bangla, an Indian regional language texts) and the results are encouraging.

Full textAbstract:
The author of the article carries out an analysis of texts by two writers who present the Shoah from different perspectives. At the onset he points out two layers of looking at theHolocaust in fantasy writing. The first one results from the said theme filtering through into the genre directly, the second is an intermediary one, namely, through the popular after the Second World War post-apocalyptic narratives where the Shoah is thematised as, for instance, the annihilation of the human race resulting from nuclear conflict or the spread of a deadly virus. The article analyses both mentioned layers using particular examples.
Polaroidy z Zagłady [The Shoah/Annihilation Polaroids] by Paweł Paliński is a tale of an individual Shoah. What constitutes the analytical framework here are the titular pictures, which translate into a genre, nowadays rarely practised, called the literary picture. In the course of reading one recognises the triangle of attitudes: victim – witness – torturer. Even if the said triangle has been criticized by historians, it nonetheless decisively appears in the text owing to its layout.
Requiem dla lalek [Requiem for Dolls] and Holocaust F written by Cezary Zbierzchowski are, respectively, a short-story collection and a novel, set in the fictitious world of Ramm. It is known from the very beginning that the world is doomed to be annihilated, the harbinger of which is God’s departure. In the short stories other signs of extinction are, among other things, euthanasia, the problem of immigration etc. The plains of annihilation recognized in the course of interpretation: metaphysical, social, and personal, compose a part of philosophical reflection on consequences of catastrophes being one of the spheres of the analysis undertaken. What also arrests our attention, and thereby is reflected upon, is the highly intertextual background of Zbierzchowski’s oeuvre. A prominent place is given to the analysis of the novel’s final chapter entitled Heart of Darkness, both referring to the famous novella written by Joseph Conrad and more than sufficiently justified by the text composition itself.
The article’s conclusions both position the texts in relation to other works of Polish fantasy genre and indicate their role as examples of various absorption by popular culture (here fantasy) of the Shoah-related issues.

Owing to aesthetic components that advertisement texts generally have, advertisements are sometimes perceived as a genre of art by some circles. The study is based upon a perspective presented by an interdisciplinary background and it acknowledges a paradigm that advertising is not a genre of art, it obviously pursues commercial profits and within this context, expolits the created aesthetics in product. The main objective of the study, which focuses advertising aesthetic fundamentally, is to build a scientific model formulating some levels of aestheticisation during its production process. Formulation in question has been reconstructed on theoretical and applied literature.

Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common and life-threatening inherited disorder of hemoglobin, affecting over 400,000 newborns annually. The majority of these births occur in low-resource countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where limited access to accurate diagnostics results in early mortality. Accurate diagnosis of SCD currently relies upon analytical techniques that are relatively expensive and tedious, requiring equipment, electricity, and laboratory expertise. In Africa, outside of referral and regional hospitals, the availability of accurate SCD diagnostics is extremely scarce. A simple, rapid, accurate, and inexpensive point-of-care (POC) method for diagnosing SCD in limited resource settings would represent a tremendous advance for the management of SCD worldwide. We evaluated a novel point-of care SCD immunoassay (Sickle SCANTM, Biomedomics, Inc., Research Triangle Park, NC) that utilizes lateral flow technology and antibody-mediated detection of hemoglobin variants, with the goal of determining the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and ease of identifying the presence of hemoglobin A (HbA), hemoglobin S (HbS), and hemoglobin C (HbC) using blood samples from patients with a variety of hemoglobin patterns. Blood samples collected in EDTA were first tested by HPLC to determine the percentages of normal and abnormal hemoglobins and were then tested using Sickle SCAN. Mixtures of specific hemoglobin combinations were also created to determine the sensitivity of the POC assay for detecting low concentrations of HbA, HbS, and HbC. The Sickle SCAN kit includes tubes prefilled with 1.0mL of buffer, which lyses erythrocytes and releases hemoglobin. Whole blood samples were tested by adding 5µL of whole blood from the EDTA tube to the prefilled buffer container, mixing by inverting the tube three times, discarding 3 drops of the mixed solution and then applying 5 drops to the testingcartridge. Dried blood spot samples were also tested by dropping a 3mm punch into the prefilled buffer container, mixing, discarding 3 drops, and applying 5 drops to the testing cartridge. Five minutes after sample application, two independent and masked clinicians visually scored each sample for the presence/absence of each potential band (HbA, HbS, HbC, and Control). Figure 1 illustrates the visual results of common hemoglobin patterns. A total of 50 samples were evaluated using the POC device, including 32 whole blood samples, 7 dried blood spots, and 11 samples artificially created to contain known low concentrations of HbA, HbS, and HbC. Temperature and stability were evaluated using 10 additional samples that were stored at 37C for up to 30 days. In order to identify potential interference by hemoglobin variants, samples included many different types of hemoglobin (HbA2, Hb Bart's, HbD, HbE, HbF, Hb Lepore, Hb Hope, Hb I-Texas, and Hb G-Philadelphia). From whole blood samples, HbA, HbS, and HbC were easily detected in both heterozygous and homozygous samples, but the intensity of individual bands did not correlate with actual percentages. Newborn samples with high fetal hemoglobin (HbF) were also easily and accurately analyzed for the presence of HbA, HbS, and HbC, with no obvious interference from HbF. The presence of common variant hemoglobins also did not cross-react, but both observers noted a faint HbA band for a newborn sample with a HbFE pattern. For samples artificially created to contain low concentrations of HbA, HbS, or HbC, these hemoglobin were detected at concentrations of <5%. Dried blood spot samples also yielded clear positive bands, without loss of sensitivity or specificity. Devices stored at 37C and blood samples stored at 4C for up to one month gave identical results to those stored at room temperature. These analyses indicate that the Sickle SCAN POC device was simple, robust, and highly sensitive and specific for detecting HbA, HbS, and HbC, even in very low percentages. The device easily and rapidly detected common hemoglobins, but was not quantitative. Specificity was excellent even in the presence of HbF and common variants, with the possible exception of HbE. The ability to obtain rapid and accurate results with both liquid blood and dried blood spots, including those with newborn high-HbF phenotypes, suggests that this device is suitable for large-scale screening of SCD in limited resource settings.

This paper explores the interrelation between the cognitive linguistic skills that are necessary for children to write on both words and texts. Three types of cognitive-linguistic abilities, which were considered to be more specifically interested in the text writing research, were transcriptional skills, ideation and syntax. The first two emerged out of a simplistic writing view (Berninger, 2010) while the predicted value of syntactic skills was based on an "extended triangle model" (Bishop & Snowling, 2011). The transcription skills in the present research have been operationalized to generate strokes in line with the proper order of stroke. With respect to the ideation, we tested the capacity of children to create orally sentences on such subjects and the requirements for grading are close to the criteria of text composition. Although good handwriting enhances student reading, improves skills, the process of abandoning handwriting has already started in a number of countries. This study paper reveals that handwriting is not only meant for
primary school students, but also in high school education with regard to some important studies.

Full textAbstract:
Though non-canonical Anglophone courses in the curriculum of European English departments are no longer seen as oddity, they are often regarded as “marginal” in comparison to the British and American canon. However, courses focusing on the cultural output of postcolonial voices, moreover of the most marginal of postcolonial voices, do not only challenge the extent to which we have managed to shift from Eurocentrism in literary theory, but also reveal the complexities of the current cultural trends, such as the frequently evoked policy of multiculturalism. The paper argues that courses which include texts by Indigenous Australian authors reveal the story of survival in a country that is literally multicultural, and stress the importance of one’s own place of utterance, which is as local as it is global. The above issues are exemplified by the works of the famous Aboriginal writers Doris Pilkington/Nugi Garimara (Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence, 1996), John Muk Muk Burke (Bridge of Triangles, 1994) and Alexis Wright (Carpentaria, 2006).

Full textAbstract:
Islam is the oldest established religion among Bulghar entity, the residents along the riverbanks of the Volga-Kama triangle. This valley was famous as the first Islamic country erected in the Eastern European region. The presence of Islam in the region has raised the name of the ruler of Volga Bulgaria and was reinforced by relationship with Baghdad. The Islamisation of the Bulghar society is relevant to the role played by Ahmad ibn Fadlan, the ambassador of the Abbasid government based in Baghdad. Therefore, this article aims to examine the role played by Ibn Fadlan in the Islamization of the Bulghar society. For this study, a qualitative method using historical descriptive approach was employed, which involved compilation and evaluation of the facts of the Risalah Ibn Fadlān. Data for this study were obtained through library research. The data analyses were conducted through texts and document analyses, as well as comparison method. This study finds that Ibn Fadlan plays an important role in the islamisation of the Bulghar society, not just as an ambassador of Abbasid government but as a teacher, preacher and counselor to the Bulghar king and the whole nation.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this review was to provide a detailed literature analysis of torque and force generation during nickel-titanium rotary root canal instrumentation. We followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. An electronic search was performed using in PubMed and in journals for articles published in English from 1987 to June 2020 on studies that investigated dynamic torque and force in vivo or in vitro. We assessed article titles and abstracts to remove duplicates, and the titles and abstracts of the remaining articles were screened for eligibility. Full texts were read to verify eligibility by considering predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Fifty-two out of 4096 studies met the inclusion criteria, from which we identified 26 factors that influence torque or force generation. Factors associated with higher torque or force generation and supported by multiple studies with mostly consistent results included convex triangle cross-sectional design, regressive taper, short pitch length, large instrument size, small canal size, single-length preparation technique, long preparation time, deep insertion depth, low rate of insertion, continuous rotation (torque), reciprocating motion (force), lower rotational speed and conventional alloy. However, several factors are interrelated, which obscured the independent effect of each factor, and there was insufficient scientific evidence supporting the influence of some factors.

Full textAbstract:
Proposing the notion of translational space, I consider the classroom and the literary text as crucial though differentiated spaces of translation. The idea of translational space borrows from Doreen Massey’s elaboration of space as a “complex web of relations of domination and subordination, of solidarity and cooperation.” I interlink the complexity of Massey’s “web” with an intention by the radical Other to translate, and interrogate how selected Caribbean diasporic texts might be shown to engage a process of translation, and for whom, particularly in light of George Lamming’s pronouncement concerning the West Indian writer, that “[h]e writes always for the foreign reader”. What is the translational impetus of a later generation of writers who Lamming was unable to imagine, namely, women authors of the region? I consider the translational space created by those authors’ challenging of canonical traditions that not only break through publication barriers, but place black women protagonists as central to their writing. The crux of my enquiry is the diasporic imaginary–represented in Beryl Gilroy’s In Praise of Love and Children, Andrea Levy’s Small Island, and Velma Pollard’s Karl–an imaginary which, centring black women characters is also concerned with a dialogic representation of the Other. I highlight issues of Creole or Caribbean identity that such an imaginary figures in its aesthetics and I foreground the diaspora as contested space whether public or intimate. Additionally in these texts, the (re)turn, as I consider it, affords a contemporary contextual presencing in dialogue with a violently muted historical past. Arising from this, my larger questions concern the meanings that might be inferred from such a Creole diasporic imaginary and its representation in terms of aesthetics and translational space. I explore the fictional representation of Caribbean lives “on the move” in Cresswell’s terms and their transnational representation. In their gendering of creolisation, diaspora and race, how do the writers translate the spatial interface that their characters negotiate? Whether in memories of Toronto in Pollard’s writing or in the London of Levy’s and Gilroy’s fiction, how do these texts represent space not only as cultural crossings but also as translational space within the new triangle that contests and dislodges notions of identity?

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn western North America, the milliped order Callipodida is represented by the Colactidini, Tynommatini stat. n., and Diactidini tribus n., in the subfamily Tynommatinae, family Schizopetalidae; a coordinate tribe, the Texophonini, occurs on the Gulf Coast of south Texas. The Tynommatini consists of two genera and four species: Tynomma mutans (Chamberlin), T. magnum Buckett & Gardner, and T. gardneri sp. n., occurring around Monterey and San Pablo/San Francisco Bays, California, and Idrionaria dineh gen. n. & sp. n., in Washington County, Utah. The Colactidini ranges from Durango, Mexico, to central Utah and California east of the Sierra Nevada, with disjunct areas in southern California and Baja California, the latter extending northward to metropolitan San Diego. It is represented by two genera and 6 species: Colactis Loomis: C. tiburona (Chamberlin), utorum (Chamberlin), and protenta and quadrata, both by Loomis; and Heptium Loomis: H. carinellum and scamillatum, both by Loomis. The Diactidini, occupying coastal southern California and the adjacent fringe of Baja California, is comprised of three genera and 10 species: Diactis Loomis: D. soleata, triangula, and frondifera, all by Loomis, and amniscela, cupola, jacinto, procera, and strumella, all spp. n.; Florea sinuata gen. n. & sp. n.; and Caliactis bistolata gen. n. & sp. n. The following new synonymies are proposed: C. yuma Chamberlin, sideralis Loomis, and loomisi Hoffman under C. tiburona; C. briggsi Shear and saxetana and baboquivari, both by Loomis, under C. utorum; H. canum Chamberlin under H. carinellum; and Etiron paroicum and pearcei, both by Chamberlin, under D. triangula and T. mutans, respectively. The eastern Nearctic callipodid fauna is summarized and significant new localities are reported; Tetracion antraeum Hoffman, stat. n., is elevated from a subspecies of T. jonesi Hoffman.

Full textAbstract:
<em>Spinning (rotation) as a physical phenomenon is an interesting thing. Many archaic notions remain in the language of the dominating perceptions of physical phenomena. Specific studies associated with the Latgalian language have determined that the use of various Latgalian lexemes in contemporary texts creates problems with archaic semantics. These are practical questions for users of Latgalian (primarily writers): which synonym is more appropriate – „doncuot” or „dzyguot” (both meaning ‘to dance’)? Are these terms equivalent? Does the word „maule” (meaning ‘wheel hub’) have only one meaning, even when used in the interjection „ot, maule!”? Why, in Latgalian, does snow spin („snīgs grīž”), but in standard Latvian different words and a different sentence structure must be used for the same expression? This study not only answers these particular questions of lexeme semantics in use, but will also use the linguoculturological approach to discuss the following thematic arcs in Latgalian phraseology and lexicon: 1) signs of natural processes and tools; 2) characteristics of the weather; 3) signs of the process of dancing; 4) lexemes representing the semantics of chaos. An archaic understanding of spinning in language is associated with the concept of the mystic triangle (underworld, world and heaven) model of the world, in which one of the ways to tear down the boundaries between the worlds is to spin in an uncontrollably fast spiral vortex. This notion is reminiscent of Stephen Hawking’s theory of singularity in black holes.</em>

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Andrzej Panufnik’s (1914-1991) key objective as a composer was to achieve a balance between emotion and intellect. The composer very often emphasised the role of the relation between these two elements in his works. This topic is the leitmotiv of texts about his own music left behind by the composer. From those texts, it is clearly evident that symmetry (and in later years also geometry) played a central role in the composer’s formal concepts. The impulse for the study of the possibility of using geometric shapes for the construction of musical forms came from his 1972 composition for the BBC television entitled Triangles - for three flutes and three cellos. The geometricisation of the formal structures of Panufnik’s works (frequently represented by means of sophisticated diagrams included in the scores) was correlated with a systematic reduction of musical language, based from 1968 on the three-note intervallic cell of E-F-B. In the course of the composition, this unit was submitted to a succession of symmetrical processes, such as transpositions and mirror reflections, superimposed on one another both on the melodic and harmonic levels, which was responsible for the specific sound climate of Panufnik’s music. The fullest realisation of the composer’s systematic thinking based on the principles of geometry can be found in his Symphony No. 5 - Sinfonia di Sfere (1974), in which every element was submitted to the principles of geometric symmetry represented in a diagram based on the perfect geometric figure of a circle. What is particularly important, this prominent constructivist current in Panufnik’s works always coexisted, as the composer himself claimed, with powerful emotional expression in his music. Did he manage to achieve the intended ideal balance between emotion and intellect in his music? Everyone can judge by themselves. This paper discusses the principal qualities of Andrzej Panufnik’s musical language.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proceeds from the concurrent interpretation of two distinct, apparently unrelated disciplinary contexts, at the crossroads of the positivism of archaeology and the imaginary world of literature. The character of the reciprocal relationship between megalithism in Neolithic Portugal and the writings of the twentieth-century author, James Joyce, is transfigured through the introduction of a third element of interpretation, a deeply paradoxical current of Jewish thought, with messianic dimensions, antithetical to the forces of mythic reconciliation present in Joyce’s fiction and in archaeological conceptions of ‘symbolic systems’ in antiquity, which tend to erase the innumerable singulars of experience. Applying a cryptotheologically-inflected exegesis immanent to the materials of text and archaeology in the light of their respective orientation to the same astral phenomenon, I seek to generate insights unanticipated within interpretations restricted to the disciplinary boundaries, theories and methodologies of archaeology and literary criticism as discrete entities. Within allegorised readings of archaeology and an archaeologicised reading of Joyce’s texts I bring into play non-synchronous elements which both disrupt the idealised harmonies of social and religious conformity and illuminate hitherto unseen connections between diverse, seemingly incommensurable contexts, beyond the discursive conventions of detached objectivity, without relinquishing irreduceible remnants to a totalising synthesis.

Full textAbstract:
Safety and effectiveness are mandatory requirements for any technique of regional anesthesia and can only be met by clinicians who appropriately understand all relevant anatomical details. Anatomical texts written for anesthetists may oversimplify the facts, presumably in an effort to reconcile extreme complexity with a need to educate as many users as possible. When it comes to techniques as common as upper-extremity blocks, the need for customized anatomical literature is even greater, particularly because the complex anatomy of the brachial plexus has never been described for anesthetists with a focus placed on regional anesthesia. The authors have undertaken to close this gap by compiling a structured overview that is clinically oriented and tailored to the needs of regional anesthesia. They describe the anatomy of the brachial plexus (ventral rami, trunks, divisions, cords, and nerves) in relation to the topographical regions used for access (interscalene gap, posterior triangle of the neck, infraclavicular fossa, and axillary fossa) and discuss the (interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary) block procedures associated with these access regions. They indicate allowances to be made for anatomical variations and the topography of fascial anatomy, give recommendations for ultrasound imaging and needle guidance, and explain the risks of excessive volumes and misdirected spreading of local anesthetics in various anatomical contexts. It is hoped that clinicians will find this article to be a useful reference for decision-making, enabling them to select the most appropriate regional anesthetic technique in any given situation, and to correctly judge the risks involved, whenever they prepare patients for a specific upper-limb surgical procedure.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the fictional creative story of Boris Pasternak’s poem “The Fairy Tale” (“Skazka”), described in the novel “Doctor Zhivago”. It is fundamentally different from the real story: if Pasternak changed the plot and partly the genre of “The Fairy Tale”, as evidenced by his letter to Nina Tabidze, Yuri Zhivago in the novel changes the poetic meter twice – and at the same time comprehends its semantics. The differences between the real and the “novelistic” creative history focus on the semantic halo both of trochaic trimeter – the meter of “The Fairy Tale”, and of trochaic pentameter and trochaic tetrameter, used at starting of the first and intermediate edition. The article shows how the first edition, written in pentameter (trochaic or iambic), connects “The Fairy Tale” with “Hamlet” and “The Gethsemane Garden”. The assumption of a genetic link between the three texts and a few significant plot coincidences enables to find invariant embodiments of one lyrical plot in different genres in them. The triangle: “Hamlet” – “The Fairy Tale” – “The Gethsemane Garden” built within the cycle varies the most important topic of the cycle and the novel – the strategy of individual, personal confrontation with “the twilight of night” and “the years of timelessness”. The study of the second stage of the fictional story “The Fairy Tale” clarifies a number of Pushkin’s contexts, not only in the “Poems of Yuri Zhivago”, but also in the novel as a whole. The study of semantic halos arising at different stages of Zhivago’s work on “The Fairy Tale” allows including it in the context of Russian lyrics.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a critical and informative exploration of the emerging roles and rising influence of the Global South in shaping the future of global governance. Specifically, it inquires into the following questions: How is the Global South impacting the way we govern globally? What are the pushers, pulls and weights to the futures of global governance? Using Jim Dator’s alternative futures archetype, what is the future of global governance? What are the emerging issues and trends? Design/methodology/approach – It uses Sohail Inayatullah’s futures triangle to map the drivers – the pushes, pulls and weights of global governance and Jim Dator’s archetypes – continued economic growth, collapse, conserver and transformation – to imagine and construct alternative futures of global governance. Findings – The futures triangle analysis maps and reveals three diverse but causally linked Global South narratives of global governance. The pulls of the future include the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa leading the way, and emerging economies reinforcing the pluralization of global governance discourses and systems. New governance regimes create new global governance dynamics and North – South relations. Their increasing social, political and economic clout leads to new governance structures. The Global South’s rising human development index, economic growth, decreasing financial reliance, the rise of minilateralism and South – South cooperation is a push of the present. Weights are recurring financial constraints, their lack of technical capacity, existing international laws, stagnating bureaucracy, poverty, domestic issues and state centrism (among others). Four alternative global governance scenarios emerge: a harmonious world is everybody’s business – a state-centric and economic growth global governance future. Here, the dynamics of global governance remain the same as zero-sum thinking informs the rules of the game. In dangerous transitions and the rise of the rest, however, the status quo is disrupted as power shifts rapidly and detrimentally. Then, in mosaic of the old structure, the South embraces protectionism, and the old vanguards return. Finally, in all boats rise substantially, power is redistributed as emerging states gain larger, formal (and informal) leadership roles in global governance. The global world order is re-designed for the Global South. A world parliament is created and stronger regional confederation or unions emerge. Research limitations/implications – This paper extensively utilizes existing and emerging literature, official reports, blogs, interviews, books and other digital texts on global governance. The sources relevance is analyzed using the futures triangle tool and dissected to present four detailed scenarios using Dator’s alternative futures archetype. This study seeks to initially explore alternative futures of global governance from the perspective of the Global South. While some studies have approached the topic, only a few authors have addressed global governance using futures tools and methods. The goal of this research is to map and explore some alternative futures of global governance. The paper is less useful in predicting what lies ahead. Its intention is to highlight the “rise of the different” and to create a space for more meaningful conversations on global governance. Practical implications – This research could provide futurists, policy-makers, international relations scholars and global governance advocates some alternative narratives, frameworks and images of global governance. While it does not offer any specific structures and solutions, it offers a number of emerging issues and perspectives from the Global South that decision-makers and institutions might want to consider as they rethink global governance. Social implications – This paper highlights the emerging roles and perspectives of the Global South in global governance. It identifies some “trading zones” and “emerging issues” that may inspire actors to create new global governance spaces, innovate alternative narratives and design new frameworks of global governance. Originality/value – It maps and constructs some plausible scenarios of global governance that emphasize Global South perspectives while using futures tools and methods.

Anyone reading the literature on the history of graphs will soon realize that the use of graphie displays of any type was really quite unusual until the mid-ninetenth century and that those scientists who did make use of them are often familiar to us as creative thinkers in their own fields of endeavour. A ternary diagram (also known as a triangular diagram) is a particular type of graph which consists of an equilateral triangle in which a given plotted point represents the relative proportions (a, b, c) of three end-members (A, B and C), generally expressed as percentages and constrained by a + b + c = 100%. It has long been used to portray sample composition in terms of three constituents, or an observed colour in terms of three primary colours, because it is a convenient means of representing a three-component System in a planar projection, rather than as an isometric, or similar, view of a three-dimensional space. Recent papers suggest that its use is not as familiar to some statisticians as are other commonly used forms of graph. For example, although it was cited by Peddle in 1910 and more recently by Dickinson, it is not discussed in modern texts on statistical graphies nor in the key papers on the history of graphs. However, beginning with studies of colour-mixing in the eighteenth century, it has subsequently become widely used, particularly in geology, physical chemistry and metallurgy. In this paper, I attempt to document its gradual uptake as a standard method of data display and some of the scientific advances which its use has facilitated.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses wazans, including those relating to i'lal and ibdal, in Arabic and the efforts to make the learning easier for the sake of reading the language orthography with no harakat. Wazans in Arabic are hundreds, but this paper only focuses on those related to changes in the word forms (tasrif istilahi), whose wazans of fi’il ma alone are 35. The writer classifies examples of words with the same wazan, and combines wazan ruba'i mujarrad and mazid as well as the mulhaq, as both have the same syakal. He also maps the words of the same wazan but different meaning because the sigah (the word form) is different. As to facilitate the words that have ibdal andor i'lal, the writer gives examples of such words, to be the benchmark for the search of other examples. To conclude, first is that mastery of wazans in Arabic is very important not only to read the orthography without the syakal, but also to determine the meaning of the word. Second, although a wazan determines the meaning of a word, but there is problem since the same wazan may have different meanings. Third, the knowledge of the context of the utterance will help determine the meaning of the word, and the meaning finally defines the word wazan. In other words, wazan will be determined by the meaning of the word, and vice versa, wazan and context determine the meaning of the word. Fourth, the triangle of context, meaning and wazan relate to each other and have a very important role in the process of reading and understanding texts, but not necessarily the same wazan shows the same form of words, and vice versa. This is where the complexity is.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this paper is to propose a mathematical interpretation of the continuous geometric proportion (Timaeus, 32a) with which Plato accomplishes the goal to unify, harmonically and symmetrically, the Two Opposite Elements of Timaeus Cosmos—Fire and Earth—through the Mean Ratio. As we know, from the algebraic point of view, it is possible to compose a continuous geometric proportion just starting from two different quantities a (Fire) and b (Earth); their sum would be the third term, so that we would obtain the continuous geometric proportion par excellence, which carries out the agreement of opposites most perfectly: (a + b)/a = a/b. This equal proportion, applied to linear geometry, corresponds to what Euclid called the Division into Extreme and Mean Ratio (DEMR) or The Golden Proportion. In fact, according to my mathematical interpretation, in the Timaeus 32b and in the Epinomis 991 a–b, Plato uses Pingala’s Mātrāmeru or The First Analogy of the Double to mould the body of the Cosmos as a whole, to the point of identifying the two supreme principles of the Cosmos—the One (1) and the Indefinite Dyad (Φ and1/Φ)—with the DEMR. In effect, Fire and Earth are joined not by a single Mean Ratio but by two (namely, Air and Water). Moreover, using the Platonic approach to analyse the geometric properties of the shape of the Cosmos as a whole, I think that Timaeus constructed the 12 pentagonal faces of Dodecahedron by means of elementary Golden Triangles (a/b = Φ) and the Mātrāmeru sequence. And, this would prove that my mathematical interpretation of the platonic texts is at least plausible.

Full textAbstract:
Atualmente a significação social das mulheres vem sendo mundialmente tema para inumeráveis exposições literárias, desde trabalhos acadêmicos até poesias marginais. Contudo, pensamos existir um nicho particularmente ignorado sobre o assunto: trata-se da literatura romanceada menor, de pouco destaque pela crítica literária, ainda desconhecida do público e que desenvolva a trama tendo a mulher ou a feminilidade como temática central. Mais que isso, trata-se desta literatura preferencialmente segundo a produção por parte de escritoras mulheres. Assim, o objeto deste artigo é o romance da escritora estadunidense Kathleen Winsor intitulado Jornada Diabólica, onde apresenta o mundo feminino em meados do século XX por meio de uma narrativa ficcional. A maneira como abordaremos este objeto será guiada, com a ajuda de alguns pensadores contemporâneos, pela interpretação filosófica dos principais pontos componentes do romance, que pode ser sintetizado como um triangulo amoroso que se passa no inferno. O caráter fantasioso do enredo não nega ou esvazia o sentido realístico que o ser-mulher é trabalhado pela autora; pelo contrário, a metaforização que estabelece o inferno como a região em que tudo acontece representa um artificio literário aproximativo da ideia de inferno ao contexto real. Ou seja: entre a realidade terrena e o inferno há muitas semelhanças, principalmente concernente ao papel da mulher. O principal objetivo deste texto é desenvolver pela argumentação filosófica a verticalização de uma obra aparentemente desimportante, assim demonstrando que mesmo a literatura fantástica de pouca expressão tem muito a contribuir sobre temas atuais, como o caso da performance social da mulher.

El presente estudio tiene por finalidad abordar uno de los temas de discusión en Cirugía de las vías biliares, la arteria cística. Encontrar su origen e interrelaciones topográficas evitaran dañarla o ligarla fácilmente cuando sea necesario. El trabajo se llevó a cabo en el Anfiteatro Anatómico de la Facultad de Medicina de San Fernando. La muestra fue de 20 cadáveres y el estudio descriptivo puro. La arteria cística tuvo diverso origen: de la hepática derecha 15 casos (75%), de la hepática media 1 caso (5%) y directamente de la hepática común 4 casos (20%). En 17 casos (85%) la arteria fue única; en 3 casos (15%) fue doble. Relacionando el triángulo de Calot con el origen de la arteria encontramos que, en 13 casos (65%), el origen fue dentro del triángulo; en 7 casos (35%) se origino por fuera del triángulo; en 4 casos delante del conducto hepático (20%), en 3 casos (15%) por detrás del conducto cístico. En 18 casos (90%), la arteria se encontró en el triangulo y en 2 casos (10%), fuera de el. La arteria cística se bifurcó en el cuello de la vesícula en 10 casos (43,4%), antes del cuello en 8 casos (34,9%). No se bifurcó, y terminó como rama directa en 5 casos (21,7%). La longitud de la arteria oscilo en un rango de 4,48 mm a 42,60 mm. haciendo un promedio de 18,35 mm. Los resultados muestran una gran variación morfológica que ser tomada en cuenta en las intervenciones quirúrgicas de la región biliar.
