Caddy Camp
No full textThe author writes about his experiences at the Poland Spring Caddy Camp. The Camp began in 1921 as a summer outdoor work experience for boys from Boston’s South End Settlement House. By the 1950s, when the author attended the camp, the relationship with the Settlement House was over and the camp was organized on a military model. He reminisces about the directors and the grueling sports competitions the boys endured

Caddy, la puella eterna. Una revisión con perspectiva de género de la novela El sonido y la furia, de William Faulkner
No full textWilliam Faulkner's novel The Sound and the Fury can be reviewed today from a gender perspective. Among its female characters, complex, troubled, guided by a strong sense of compliance with traditional gender roles, appears Caddy, the only daughter of the Compson family. The image of the feminine presented by the author was ahead of the writing proposals with a gender perspective at a time, 1929, in which to speak of female freedom was a bet on tenacious criticism. The author, with a unique sensitivity to the problems of women, subject to family atavisms, thus joined the nascent feminist critique of the patriarchal roles imposed on women of his time.
Caddy Compson embodied the only redeemable part of a dysfunctional family that was spreading pain from generation to generation. She was the "soul" who refused to participate in the degeneration of the clan and who made her own way in the world. Although, as the author rightly states, Caddy will always look back to watch over her own. She refers to the eternal puella, a feminine archetype based on the eternal young woman, the woman who finds it hard to grow and mature and who will always live depending on the gaze of the other, on her, either to validate her or to castrate her inner growth.
The woman appears in The Sound and the Fury as a figure who must accept the projection of others and must comply with certain predetermined roles, that is why she is depersonalized: she is changeable, variable, loving, promiscuous at times, mature and wise at other times, depending on each one's experience with the feminine. In the end, through a long and painful process of transformation, the woman can assume her feminine freedom. Caddy abandons the role of the puella and goes into exile in Europe, freeing herself from the conflicts and family complexes of a family in the south of the United States that did not accept the changes and feminine needs. Neither did they accept the social changes that were taking place after the economic crisis of 1929, caused by the "Crash" of the New York Stock Exchange and before that, the rupture of the old way of life of the southern landowners due to the loss in the American Civil War in 1965. Sinking in their disconnection with the new female roles, only Caddy can save herself from catastrophe.La novela El sonido y la furia, de William Faulkner, puede ser revisada en la actualidad desde una perspectiva de género. Entre sus personajes femeninos, complejos, angustiados, guiados por un fuerte sentido del cumplimiento de los roles tradicionales de género, aparece Caddy, la única hija de la familia Compson. La imagen que presenta el autor se adelantó a las propuestas escriturales con perspectiva de género en una época, 1929, en la cual hablar de la libertad femenina era una apuesta a la crítica tenaz. El autor, con una sensibilidad única hacia la problemática de la mujer, sujeta a los atavismos familiares, se unía así a la naciente crítica feminista a los roles patriarcales impuestos a la mujer de su tiempo.
Caddy Compson encarnó lo único rescatable de una familia disfuncional que grantizaba el dolor de generación en generación. Ella era el “alma” que se negaba a participar de la degeneración del clan y que se abría paso en el mundo por sí misma. Aunque, como bien lo plantea el autor, Caddy siempre volverá a mirar para atrás para velar por los suyos. Ella remite a la puella eterna, un arquetipo femenino basado en la joven eterna, la mujer a la que le cuesta crecer y madurar y que siempre vivirá dependiendo de la mirada del otro, de la otra, sobre ella, bien sea para validarla o para castrar su crecimiento interior.
La mujer aparece en El sonido y la furia como una figura que debe aceptar la proyección de los demás y debe cumplir con ciertos roles predeterminados, por eso está despersonalizada: es cambiante, variable, amorosa, promiscua a veces, madura y sabia, otras veces, dependiendo de cuál ha sido la experiencia de cada quién con lo femenino. Al final, a través de un largo y doloroso proceso de transformación la mujer puede asumir su libertad femenina. Caddy abandona el rol de la puella y se marcha a un exilio en Europa, desligandose de los conflictos y de los complejos familiares propios de una familia del sur de los Estados Unidos que no aceptaba ni los cambios y necesidades femeninas. Tampoco aceptaba los cambios sociales que se estaban dando a partir de la crisis económica del año 1929, cauasada con el "Crack" de la Bolsa de Nueva York y antes con la ruptura del antiguo modo de vida de los hacendados del sur por la pérdida en la Guerra Civil norteamericana, en 1965. Hundidos en su desconexión con los nuevos roles femeninos, solo Caddy puede salvarse de la catástrofe

Mutation screening using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues: a stratified approach according to DNA quality.
No full textDNA samples from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues are highly degraded with variable quality, and this imposes a big challenge for targeted sequencing due to false positives, largely caused by PCR errors and cytosine deamination. To eliminate false positives, a common practice is to validate the detected variants by Sanger sequencing or perform targeted sequencing in duplicate. Technically, PCR errors could be removed by molecular barcoding of template DNA prior to amplification as in the HaloPlexHS design. Nonetheless, it is uncertain to what extent variants detected using this approach should be further validated. Here, we addressed this question by correlating variant reproducibility with DNA quality using HaloPlexHS target enrichment and Illumina HiSeq4000, together with an in-house validated variant calling algorithm. The overall sequencing coverage, as shown by analyses of 70 genes in 266 cases of large B-cell lymphoma, was excellent (98%) in DNA samples amenable for PCR of ≥400 bp, but suboptimal (92%) and poor (80%) in those amenable for PCR of 300 bp and 200 bp respectively. By mutation analysis in duplicate in 93 cases, we demonstrated that 20 alternative allele depth (AAD) was an optimal cut-off value for separating reproducible from non-reproducible variants in DNA samples amenable for PCR of ≥300 bp, with 97% sensitivity and 100% specificity. By cross validation with a previously established targeted sequencing protocol by Fluidigm-PCR and Illumina MiSeq, the HaloPlexHS protocol was shown to be highly sensitive and specific in mutation screening. To conclude, we proposed a stratified approach for mutation screening by HaloplexHS and Illumina HiSeq4000 according to DNA quality. DNA samples with good quality (≥400 bp) are amenable for mutation analysis with a single replicate, with only variants at 15-20 AAD requiring for further validation, while those with suboptimal quality (300 bp) are better analysed in duplicate with reproducible variants at >15 AAD regarded as true genetic changes

Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of a specialist and a generic parenting programme for the treatment of preschool ADHD
No full textThe New Forest Parenting Programme (NFPP) is a home-delivered, evidence-based parenting programme to target symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in preschool children. It has been adapted for use with 'hard-to-reach' or 'difficult-to-treat' children. This trial will compare the adapted-NFPP with a generic parenting group-based programme, Incredible Years (IY), which has been recommended for children with preschool-type ADHD symptoms
