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.

Religion, prejudice, and authoritarianism : Is RWA a boon or bane to the psychology of religion?
No full textIn research on religiosity and prejudice, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) has been studied alongside variables such as fundamentalism and orthodoxy. Four concerns regarding research on the relationship between RWA and religiosity are identified: (1) the overlap of religiosity and prejudice within the RWA scale; (2) the inflation of relationships by correlating part-whole measures; (3) covariation in the extremes of the construct hiding the possible independence of components within RWA; and (4) statistical artifacts arising in multiple regression from the combination of these factors. We elaborate these four issues and then demonstrate how they can lead to different interpretations of some previously published data. The article concludes with suggestions for the management and resolution of these issues that may allow RWA to continue to be used in religiosity and prejudice research and how it might evolve to become the boon to researchers that they seek.Peer reviewe
The efficacy of using the tissue fragments present in cervical scrapes for the histologic diagnosis of cervical neoplasia
No full textCervical scrapes to diagnose cervical neoplasia, collected by the clinician with brushes, are sent to the Leiden Cytology and Pathology Laboratory (LCPL) in vials containing BoonFix, a noncross-linking coagulant fixative. Because the residual material left in the vials contains tissue fragments with important diagnostic information, we stored the residual material in our archives. The tissue fragments can be mummified and archived in commercially available histology cassettes. We can produce paraffin sections thereof. Immunostaining is beautiful on serial paraffin sections cut from these blocks. We experienced that it is important to leave the brush in the vial such that all tissue fragments can be used for histologic diagnosis. In order to optimize the system, tissue fragments left in the endocervical part of the brush are removed in a paint shaker. We illustrate this principle of recovering mummified tissue fragments in a false negative case with cytology containing many undiagnosable collapsed tissue fragments. This case shows clearly the efficacy of using the tissue fragments present in cervical scrapes for the histologic diagnosis of cervical neoplasia. © 2013 Lifescience Global
Why Read Harlequin Mills & Boon Romances?
No full textHarlequin Mills & Boon Romances have long been the black sheep
of the literary family and subject to almost universal derogatory
criticism. However, there is evidence to
suggest that Romance is one of the oldest and most enduring of literary modes
which survive today, and there is, I believe, a clear provenance from the
sentimental Romances of the eighteenth-century to Harlequin Mills & Boon
romances of today.
This research highlights the tropes and literary devices
used by authors from the Mills & Boon stable in order to unite their heroes
and heroines and illustrate why readers don’t need to be ashamed to enjoy a
Mills & Boon romance. </p

The diagnostic value of the BOON versus the Schäfer-classification in men older than 50 years with LUTS due to benign prostatic hyperplasia
No full textIntroduction: BOON (Bladder Outlet Obstruction Number) is based upon non-invasively obtained parameters and selects men with LUTS suggestive of BPH in whom infravesical obstruction is most likely. Aim was to investigate the proportion of agreement between treatment choice based upon diagnostics including the non-invasively obtained BOON, and treatment choice based upon diagnostics including the invasively obtained Schäfer's obstruction grade. Methods: From 114 men with LUTS for each patient two summaries of relevant medical data were made. One summary included the BOON and the other one included the Schäfer's grade. Each case was evaluated separately twice by an experienced and by a starting urologist. Results: There was moderate (Schäfer's grade) to fair (BOON) agreement between both observers. For both urologists a fair to substantial agreement existed between the evaluation on time 1 and the evaluation on time 2. Agreement in choice of treatment between BOON and Schäfer's grade was substantial for the experienced urologist and fair for the starting urologist. For BOON ≥-20 (31% of all men: probability of obstruction 70% or higher) percentages of agreement for both urologists were 85% or more. Conclusion: Replacing Schäfer's grade by BOON in the diagnostics of men with LUTS suggestive of BPH does not result in significant changes in treatment choices.</p
