Chinese literary works translated into Baba Malay: a bibliographical study
No full textAnalyses 68 unique titles of Baba translated works published between 1889 and 1950. The titles are held in the libraries of the University of Malaya (UM), Science University Malaysia (USM), National University of Malaysia (UKM), the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP), National University of Singapore (NUS), National Library of Singapore (NLS) and the British Library (BL). The results reveal three periods of active publication of Baba translated works. A total of 18 works were translated before World War I, followed by 10 just after the war, 39 titles were published before the break of the World War II and 1 was identified in 1950. There were 103 persons involved in the 68 translated works, some of whom are responsible for more than one title. The most prominent translators were Chan Kim Boon, Wan Boon Seng, Seow Chin San and Lee Seng Poh. Some of the translators were also be editors, illustrators or editors. There were 31 publishers and 21 printing presses involved, all were located in Singapore. The most active publishers were Wan Boon Seng, Kim Seck Chy Press and Nanyang Romanised Malay Book Co. The translated works mainly cover historical classical Chinese stories, chivalrous stories, romances, folklore and legends. The titles were priced between 10 cents to 2 dollars in Straits currency. The University of Malaya Library held the largest number of unique title (62) out of which 15 were unique titles
Experience of Intraoperative Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve monitoring in a Single Center-normative Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Electromyographic Data
No full textABSTRACT
Introduction
Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) remains a significant morbidity during thyroid and parathyroid surgery. The aim of this study is to elucidate normative RLN electromyographic (EMG) parameters.
Materials and methods
This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent Intraoperative neuromonitoring during thyroid and parathyroid surgery from February 2014 to March 2015. The inomed C2 NerveMonitor was used. We recorded the stimulation current, amplitude, and latency of the RLN before and after nerve dissection. We also observed the number of patients who had hoarse voice after surgery.
Results
A total of 46 patients (14 male, 32 female) averaging 51 years old in age (20-77 years) were analyzed. The most commonly performed surgical procedure was total thyroidectomy (53.2%).
The median stimulation current for both the right and left RLN was 0.500 mA. The median amplitude for the left RLN was 1.060 mV and greater than that for the right RLN (0.930 mV) (p = 0.30). The median latency for the right RLN and left RLN was 2.40 ms with no difference between the sides. (p = 0.58).
Post dissection, the right RLN amplitude remained identical whereasthe left RLN amplitude decreased. Latencies of both RLNs decreased although the difference was not significant. Nature of pathology and site of surgery did not influence RLN latency and amplitude. No patients had hoarse voice.
Conclusion
This study highlights the normative EMG parameters for bilateral RLN nerve stimulation in an Asian population. No significant difference was noted in both pre- and postdissection RLN EMG parameters.

Desiring the east: a comparative study of Middle English romance and modern popular sheikh romance
No full textThis thesis comparatively examines a selection of twenty-first century sheikh romances and Middle English romances from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that imagine an erotic relationship occurring between east and west. They do so against a background of conflict, articulated in military confrontation and binary religious and ethnic division. The thesis explores the strategies used to facilitate the cross-cultural relationship across such a gulf of difference and considers what a comparison of medieval and modern romance can reveal about attitudes towards otherness in popular romance.
In Chapter 1, I analyse the construction of the east in each genre, investigating how the homogenisation of the romance east in sheikh romance distances it from the geopolitical reality of those parts of the Middle East seen, by the west, to be "other". Chapter 2 examines the articulation of gender identity and the ways in which these romances subvert and reassert binary gender difference to uphold normative heterosexual relations. Chapter 3 considers how ethnic and religious difference is nuanced, in particular through the use of fabric, breaking down the disjunction between east and west. Chapter 4 investigates the way ethnicity, religion and gender affect hierarchies of power in the abduction motif, enabling undesirable aspects of the east to be recast.
The key finding of this thesis is that both romance genres facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship by rewriting apparently binary differences of religion and ethnicity to create sameness. While the east is figured differently in Middle English and modern sheikh romance, the strategies they use to facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship are similar. The thesis concludes that the constancy of certain attitudes towards the east in both medieval and modern romance reveals a persistence of conservative values in representations of the east in romance
STUDY ON DROSOPHILID FAUNA OF MT. SUL-AK(KANG-WON PROVINCE)
No full text1. Collections of drosophilid flies were undertaken at nine areas of Mt Sul-Ak (Kang- WOn Province), Chang-Soo-Dai, 12-Tang-Gol, Faik-Tem Temple, Oh-Se-Am, Soo-Ryum-Dong, Bong-Jung-Am, Ka-Ya-Dong, Ma-Deung-Ryung and Sin-Heung Temple, from 14th to 22nd, July, 1959 by trapping and sweeping; data obtained from the collections are presented in Table-l in this parer.
2. A total of 512 specimens was obtained. They were classified into 22 specis of Drosphilidae as Tanle-l shows. Among them the following species were found to be abundant in occurrence :
D. (S.) auraria, D. (D.) testacea, D. (D.) brachynephros, D. (H.) sexivittata, D. (D.) unispina, D. (S.) bifasciata, Amiota (P.) variegata, D. (D.) angularis and D. (D.) histrio.
Species belonged to Genera Chymomyza and Microdrosophila were rot found in the presesnt collections.
3. Species occurred commonly in all vertical regions which were high level 500m, or less (A), 500m. to 1000m, (B) and 1000m. or more (C) are Scaptomyza disticha, D. (P.) coracina, D. (D.) unispina, D. (D.) testacea and D. (D.) histrio.
4. The species captured through all 3 collecting methods (Trapping, sweeping on grasses and sweeping on mushrooms) are A. (P.) variegata, D. (H.) sexivittata, D. (H.) histrioides, D. (S.) auraria (B), D. (D.) brachynephros, D. (D.) angularis, D. (D.) unispina, D. (D.) testaces, D. (D.) histrio. The species captured only by trapping method are D. (H.) albolaris, obtained only by sweeping method are A. (A.) alboguttata, D. (S.) melanogaster, A. (A.) sp. and D. (D.) sp.
5. Comparison of drosophilid fauna of Mt. Sul-Ak with of MT. Oh-Dai is undertaken. The common species between two mountains are A. (A.) albogattata, A. (P.) variegata, D. (H.) albolaris, D.(H.) sexiyittata, D. (D.) histrio, D. (P.) coracina, D. (S.) difasciata, D. (D.) testaces, D. (D.) histrio, D. (D.) lacertosa. Among themm D. (D.) transwersa-complex were most abundantly captured. D. (D.) bizonate and D. (D.) sordidula of robusta species-group, which in Mt. Oh-Dai and L. quinque-maculipennis, Seaptomyze disticha. D. (S.) melanogaster. D. (D.) kuntzel, which were not captured in Mt. Oh-Dai, were captured in Mt. Sul-Ak.
6. Some remaks for the following spedies were given:
D. (H.) sexiyittata. D. (D.) teea, D. (D.) braehynephros, D. (D.) angularis, D. (D.) unispina, miota (P.) variegata, A. (A.) alboguttata, D. (D.) lacertosa and A. (D.) histrio.
7. D. (D.) kuntzei appeared in the presect collections is new to Korean drosphilid fauna. Amiota (A.) sp. , D. (D.) sp. and D. (S.) like helvetica Burla, seem to be new to seionce, are examining exhaustiyely by the author and the result will be reported soon.TABLE OF CONTENTS = 0
