  • Necessary Fictions”: Authorship and Transethnic Identity in Contemporary American Narratives
    MILNE, LEAH A., PhD. “Necessary Fictions”: Authorship and Transethnic Identity in Contemporary American Narratives. (2015) Directed by Dr. Christian Moraru. 352 pp. As a theory and political movement of the late 20th century, multiculturalism has emphasized recognition, tolerance, and the peaceful coexistence of cultures, while providing the groundwork for social justice and the expansion of the American literary canon. However, its sometimes uncomplicated celebrations of diversity and its focus on static, discrete ethnic identities have been seen by many as restrictive. As my project argues, contemporary ethnic American novelists are pushing against these restrictions by promoting what I call transethnicity, the process by which one formulates a dynamic conception of ethnicity that cuts across different categories of identity. Through the use of self-conscious or metafictional narratives, authors such as Louise Erdrich, Junot Díaz, and Percival Everett mobilize metafiction to expand definitions of ethnicity and to acknowledge those who have been left out of the multicultural picture. I further argue that, while metafiction is often considered the realm of white male novelists, ethnic American authors have galvanized self-conscious fiction—particularly stories depicting characters in the act of writing—to defy multiculturalism’s embrace of coherent, reducible ethnic groups who are best represented by their most exceptional members and by writing that is itself correct and “authentic.” Instead, under the transethnic model, ethnicity is self-conflicted, forged through ongoing revision and contestation and in ever- fluid responses to political, economic, and social changes. “NECESSARY FICTIONS”: AUTHORSHIP AND TRANSETHNIC IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN NARRATIVES by Leah A.

  • Entrevista a Yannis Yfantís / Templo Del Mundo / Audisea
    Entrevista a Yannis Yfantís / Templo del mundo / audisea 1. In your poem “EPXOMAI”, the speaker is transformed as he crosses through several mirror-like, labyrinthine spaces and times: “Με ρώτησαν από πού έρχομαι. / Τι να τους έλεγα; Δεν θα με καταλάβαιναν /και τότε / θα μ’ οδηγούσανε δεμένο στον ψυχίατρο”. How is it possible to shed light on that infinite, all-unifying tandem? Again, where are you from? What can you tell us about your origins? It is possible to shed light on this tandem, if we comprehend that the poets are not many, but one (No one). Who has however many faces and many names scattered across space and time. Every poet is one of the waves of that OCEAN, whose name is SPIRIT. And again, where do I come from, which are my roots? Oh yes: Let’s better look at one of the biographies that I use: “I don't know when and where I was born; looking for the healing beauty and the truth that liberates, I found myself on the paths of poetry. Here I am where Zero bites its own tail with pain and delight here I am in the midst of eternity at its beginning and its end”. More details? See also my poem “Always Here”, in my book that AUDISEA has just published. And even, see the poem “Happy Song” on my website www.yfantis.gr. Even more details? I was born in a farmhouse, at Raina, valley of Etolia, (in Central-West Greece, near the Ionian Sea). My parents are mountain-folk, as my great-grandparents (islanders or landers) fled to the mountain gorges to save themselves when the Turks invaded Byzantium (medieval Greece).

Nevertheless, the search for effective immunotherapeutic approaches for glioblastoma patients continues. The goal of immunotherapy is to promote tumor eradication, boost the patient’s innate and adaptive immune responses, and overcome tumor immune resistance. A range of new, promising immunotherapeutic strategies has been applied for glioblastoma, including vaccines, oncolytic viruses, immune check- point inhibitors, and adoptive cell transfer. However, the main challenges of immunotherapy for glioblastoma are the intracranial location and heterogeneity of the tumor as well as the unique, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Owing to the lack of appropriate tumor models, there are discrepancies in the efficiency of various immunotherapeutic strategies between preclinical Citation: Majc, B.; Novak, M.; studies (with in vitro and animal models) on the one hand and clinical studies (on humans) on the Kopitar-Jerala, N.; Jewett, A.; Breznik, other hand.

  • A Survey on Ectoparasite Infestations in Companion Dogs of Ahvaz District, South-West of Iran
    J Arthropod-Borne Dis, 2011, 6(1): 70–78 B Mosallanejad et al.: A Survey on Ectoparasite ... Original Article A Survey on Ectoparasite Infestations in Companion Dogs of Ahvaz District, South-west of Iran B Mosallanejad 1, *AR Alborzi 2, N Katvandi 2 1Department of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Ahvaz, Iran 2Department of Pathobiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Ahvaz, Iran (Received 4 Nov 2011; accepted 7 Dec 2011) Abstract Background: The objective was to determine the prevalence of ectoparasite infestations in referred companion dogs to veterinary hospital of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, from 2009 to 2010. Methods: A total of 126 dogs were sampled for ectoparasites and examined by parasitological methods. The studied animals were grouped based on the age (<1 year, 1–3 years and >3 years), sex, breed and region Results: Thirty six out of 126 referred dogs (28.57%) were positive for external ectoparasites. The most common ectoparasites were Heterodoxus spinigera, which were recorded on 11 dogs (8.73%). Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Sarcoptes scabiei, Otodectes cynotis, Xenopsylla cheopis, Cetenocephalides canis, Cetenocephalides felis, Hip- pobosca sp. and myiasis (L3 of Lucilia sp.) were identified on 9 (7.14%), 7 (5.56%), 6 (4.76%), 3 (2.38%), 3 (2.38%), 2 (1.59%), 2 (1.59%) and one (0.79%) of the studied dogs respectively. Mixed infestation with two species of ectoparasites was recorded on 8 (6.35%). Prevalence was higher in male dogs (35.82%; 24 out of 67) than females (20.34%; 12 out of 59), age above 3 years (31.81%; 7 out of 22) and in the season of winter (30.95%; 13 out of 42), but the difference was not significant regarding to host gender, age and season (P> 0.05).
