Relationship between quantitative CT metrics and health status and BODE in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
No full textBackground The value of quantitative CT (QCT) to
identify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
phenotypes is increasingly appreciated. The authors
hypothesised that QCT-defined emphysema and airway
abnormalities relate to St George’s Respiratory
Questionnaire (SGRQ) and Body-Mass Index, Airflow
Obstruction, Dyspnea and Exercise Capacity Index
(BODE).
Methods 1200 COPDGene subjects meeting Global
Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD)
criteria for COPD with QCT analysis were included. Total
lung emphysema was measured using the density mask
technique with a 950 Hounsfield unit threshold. An
automated programme measured mean wall thickness
(WT), wall area percentage (WA%) and 10 mm lumenal
perimeter (pi10) in six segmental bronchi. Separate
multivariate analyses examined the relative influence of
airway measures and emphysema on SGRQ and BODE.
Results In separate models predicting SGRQ score, a 1
unit SD increase in each airway measure predicted higher
SGRQ scores (for WT, 1.90 points higher, p=0.002; for
WA%, 1.52 points higher, p=0.02; for pi10, 2.83 points
higher p<0.001). The comparable increase in SGRQ for
a 1 unit SD increase in emphysema percentage in these
models was relatively weaker, significant only in the pi10
model (for emphysema percentage, 1.45 points higher,
p=0.01). In separate models predicting BODE, a 1 unit
SD increase in each airway measure predicted higher
BODE scores (for WT, 1.07-fold increase, p<0.001; for
WA%, 1.20-fold increase, p<0.001; for pi10, 1.16-fold
increase, p<0.001). In these models, emphysema more
strongly influenced BODE (range 1.24-1.26-fold increase,
p<0.001).
Conclusion Emphysema and airway disease both relate
to clinically important parameters. The relative influence
of airway disease is greater for SGRQ; the relative
influence of emphysema is greater for BODE.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/91946/1/2012 Thorax Relationship between quantitative CT metrics and health status and BODE in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.pd
The author is dead, long live the author

'Translated from the Gikuyu by the author' : Ngugi wa Thiong'o's self-translation of Wizard of the Crow
No full textNgugi wa Thiong’o wrote Murogi wa Kagogo in Gikuyu in 2004, and published the English version, Wizard of the Crow, in 2006, announcing on the title page that the novel is ‘A translation from Gikuyu by the author’. The complex interplay of languages in Ngugi’s self-translation is central to understanding the novel for two main reasons. Firstly, Ngugi’s dictator novel depicts the political, economic and social intricacies that have characterised the postcolonial African state and, as stories and realities collapse into one another, the reader realises that the eponymous Wizard of the Crow is the embodiment of the writer in postcolonial society. Consequently, the play of languages in the text raises questions about the role of the writer in the face of dictatorship. Secondly, the reader is invited to question the status of the translated text in light of Ngugi’s advocacy of writing in indigenous languages. The author of a literary work must first make a choice of language and then consider how the language will be used. When that work is, in turn, translated, this raises another set of questions about the status of the text, as well as the status of the translation. My interest here then, is not in the similarities or dissimilarities between Murogi wa Kagogo and the English version, but instead Ngugi’s preoccupation with the question of language in Wizard of the Crow and the text’s critical status as self-translation
WA Newspaper's contempt finding
No full textIn July 2004, Western Australia's largest circulating daily newspaper, The West Australian, identified a nine-year-old ward of the State, thereby breaching a statutory provision. It described him as a "suburban terrorist" and a "menace to society". A year later the Supreme Court of Western Australia reminded the media that such coverage can also be a menace to society and imposed $20,000 in fines for contempt of court. In this article the author surveys contempt law from a media perspective and considers the case in question
Mo Yans "Wa"
No full textIn dieser Arbeit werden die Themen Geburtenkontrolle und bäuerlicher Widerstand behandelt und es wird eine Verbindung der beiden Bereiche hergestellt. Historische und soziopolitische Aspekte werden beleuchtet und die Frage, ob die Durchsetzung der Geburtenkontrolle auf dem Land möglich ist oder nicht, wird beantwortet. Gerüst der Schrift ist Mo Yans „Wa“. Deshalb spielen der Autor und sein Werk eine große Rolle und auch die Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage stützt sich in der Argumentation hauptsächlich auf diesen Roman, der von der Geburtenplanung in China handelt.This thesis is an attempt to establish a connex between birth control and peasant resistance. In the process of finding an answer to the question of whether or not birth control is possible in rural China historical and socio political aspects are considered. Mo Yan`s "Wa" is framework to the thesis. Therfore, the author and his novel play an important role and are crucial to finding an answer to the above mentioned question
