Was the Classical Tradition Betrayed by J. Ivory's adaptation of E. M. Forster's "Maurice"?

According to Literature and Film studies and from the point of view of the influence of Classical Tradition on Western Culture -Classical Greek Tradition, in this case-, this article is an accurate analysis of the inevitable -to a certain degree- screenwriters betrayals regarding the literary texts that they adapt. However, in spite of being practically inevitable, Dr. Pau Gilabert Barberà indicates which are in his opinion the limits beyond which Ivory/Hesketh-Harvey should have not gone in order not to dilute the Hellenic temper of E. M. Forster's Maurice.

"Classicism versus Mediaevalism in Victorian-Edwardian England: E. M. Forter's "A Room with a View" as an example

The aim of this article is to illustrate the well-known opposition classicism / medievalism in the Victorian-Edwardian England by analysing accurately E. M. Forster's A Room with a View from the point of view of the Classical Tradition and, therefore, focusing on both the meaning and significance of all its classical -Greek and Roman- references.

Oscar Wilde. 'Camma', una severa y hedónica corrección estética de la ética plutarquea

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un análisis minucioso del poema « Camma » de O. Wilde en relación al referente griego: la Camma del Amatorius (Erótico) y del Mulierum Virtutes de Plutarco. Es precisamente esta lectura la que permite comprobar cómo la severa y rígida ética plutarquea es corregida desde el hedonismo del esteticismo que O. Wilde profesa, convirtiendo así a Camma en un símbolo del placer de vivir

Oscar Wilde. 'Camma', a severe and hedonic aesthetic correction of Plutarch's ethics

The aim of this article is to present an accurate analysis of O. Wilde's poem 'Camma' by referring it to its Greek model: that Camma both in Plutarch's Amatorius (Eroticus) and Mulierum Virtutes. It is precisely this accurate reading which permits us to verify how Plutarch's Ethics is corrected from the parameters of the hedonism which is peculiar to O. Wilde's aestheticism, thus turning Camma into a symbol of a pleasant life.

La tradición inglesa en la obra de Jorge Luis Borges

En este artículo analizo las afinidades existentes entre la"tradición inglesa", en sus expresiones filosóficas y literarias, y la obra de Borges, quien llegó a considerarse"escritor inglés en lengua española". En la primera parte estudio la enorme simpatía filosófica y estética que Borges sentía por el pragmatismo de William James. En la segunda parte trato de mostrar que dicha simpatía no se detenía en el autor de Pragmatism sino que se extendía a toda la"tradición inglesa". Ciertamente, lo que podemos considerar las características generales de la tradición inglesa-escepticismo, nominalismo, antisistematismo, librepensamiento y un determinado sentido del humor-, forman un temperamento filosófico-literario enormemente afín al que constatamos en la obra de Jorge Luis Borges. En la tercera y última parte analizo cómo dicho"espíritu" filosófico no forma parte de una supuesta idiosincrasia nacional, concebida en términos esencialistas, sino de un determinado proceso histórico que hizo que permitió que en Inglaterra perdurasen ciertos valores del humanismo mientras que en el resto de Europa el racionalismo arramblaba con ellos. De este modo, tanto el temperamento filosófico de Borges como el de la tradición inglesa se remiten a una tradición humanística que supuso, a su vez, en el siglo XVI, el renacimiento de una milenaria tradición escéptica que había sido arrinconada por el dogmatismo de la era medieval.

The Next Step: Darwin, Brontë, Fowles

The present article proposes Heathcliff and Sarah Woodruff as monstrous beings who reclaim their desire to be agent subjects in a society and a narrative which deny such a possibility. It would be possible to argue, however, that their monstrosity might be that of the unique specimen, the potential first stage towards the improvement of species through natural selection as theorized by Charles Darwin in 1859. The multiple references to Darwin’s study in the novel by JohnFowles demonstrate that such a theory could clarify what Sarah represents in the novel. In a retroactive manner, Darwinian theory might be used to understand what Heathcliff is, who Heathcliff is, and why he is the object of general animosity. It might be concluded that what is really monstrous about these twocharacters is that both are new specimens, avant la lèttre, and they occupy a space to which language has no access.

Meta-analysis of the influence of bonding parameters on the clinical outcome of tooth-colored cervical restorations

PURPOSE: To meta-analyze the literature on the clinical performance of Class V restorations to assess the factors that influence retention, marginal integrity, and marginal discoloration of cervical lesions restored with composite resins, glass-ionomer-cement-based materials [glass-ionomer cement (GIC) and resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGICs)], and polyacid-modified resin composites (PMRC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The English literature was searched (MEDLINE and SCOPUS) for prospective clinical trials on cervical restorations with an observation period of at least 18 months. The studies had to report about retention, marginal discoloration, marginal integrity, and marginal caries and include a description of the operative technique (beveling of enamel, roughening of dentin, type of isolation). Eighty-one studies involving 185 experiments for 47 adhesives matched the inclusion criteria. The statistical analysis was carried out by using the following linear mixed model: log (-log (Y /100)) = β + α log(T ) + error with β = log(λ), where β is a summary measure of the non-linear deterioration occurring in each experiment, including a random study effect. RESULTS: On average, 12.3% of the cervical restorations were lost, 27.9% exhibited marginal discoloration, and 34.6% exhibited deterioration of marginal integrity after 5 years. The calculation of the clinical index was 17.4% of failures after 5 years and 32.3% after 8 years. A higher variability was found for retention loss and marginal discoloration. Hardly any secondary caries lesions were detected, even in the experiments with a follow-up time longer than 8 years. Restorations placed using rubber-dam in teeth whose dentin was roughened showed a statistically significantly higher retention rate than those placed in teeth with unprepared dentin or without rubber-dam (p < 0.05). However, enamel beveling had no influence on any of the examined variables. Significant differences were found between pairs of adhesive systems and also between pairs of classes of adhesive systems. One-step self-etching had a significantly worse clinically index than two-step self-etching and three-step etch-and-rinse (p = 0.026 and p = 0.002, respectively). CONCLUSION: The clinical performance is significantly influenced by the type of adhesive system and/or the adhesive class to which the system belongs. Whether the dentin/enamel is roughened or not and whether rubberdam isolation is used or not also significantly influenced the clinical performance. Composite resin restorations placed with two-step self-etching and three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive systems should be preferred over onestep self-etching adhesive systems, GIC-based materials, and PMRCs.

Detecting Detection: International Perspectives on the Uses of a Plot

One of the problems with books which are relatively general in nature is that many of the individual contributions tend to be so narrow and specialised that only the author has any knowledge of (or interest in) the issues under discussion. At first sight this appears to be the case with Detecting Detection. Fortunately, however, first impressions are deceiving. Although the essays in the volume deal with writers as diverse and disparate as the Catalano-Spanish writer Juan Marse, the Bulgarian-French philosopher Julia Kristeva and the once-vaunted giant of English literature,Graham Greene, among numerous others, there is much to be enjoyed and learnt, even if some of the works under discussion are unfamiliar to the crime fiction reader and/or scholar to whom the book initially appears to be directed.

Ascite quilosa traumática

Chylous ascites is a rare clinical entity. In infancy it is less commom still. The etiology of most of them is usually congenital or idiopathic; trauma is a less frequent cause. It has been implicated in about 10% of all cases 1-5. There have been less than one hundred cases published in the English literature, including 12 in children. We report a pediatric case of chylous ascites as a result of blunt abdominal trauma managed by ligation of the lymphatic leak.
