Résumé :

After World War II, the American Academy in Rome faced a choice: remain a bastion of declining Beaux-Arts classicism or pursue a more modernist agenda. In “A Truly Liberal Orientation”: Laurance Roberts, Modern Architecture, and the Postwar American Academy in Rome,Denise R. Costanzo demonstrates how Laurance Roberts, director of the Academy from 1946 to 1959, orchestrated its reorientation and welcomed architectural modernism. Under Roberts, a reconfigured Rome Prize in architecture—with no prescribed activities or stylistic limits—attracted graduates of top modern programs. During the 1950s conservative alumni attempted a counterreformation, and Roberts’s efforts to engage prominent modernists as resident architects faltered, highlighting the Academy’s limited relevance to the postwar discipline. Despite these challenges, Roberts established a more progressive administration that allowed Louis Kahn’s and Robert Venturi’s epochal stays, kept Rome on the American architect’s map, and offered one possible model of a “modernist academy.”

Résumé :

This article analyzes the role of the Julius Rosenwald Fund in shaping the career of W. Allison Davis, a distinguished anthropologist who became the first African American appointed to the faculty of a mostly white university. From 1928 to 1948, the Rosenwald Fund ran an expansive fellowship program for African American intellectuals, which, despite its significance, remains largely unexamined in the scholarly literature. Davis tied his academic aspirations to Rosenwald Fund support, including for his early research and the terms of his faculty appointment. His experiences illustrate the dynamics inclusion and exclusion of African Americans in the academy; paternalistic promotion and strategic denial functioned as two sides of the same coin. Spotlighting Davis's negotiations, this article establishes how presumptions of racial inferiority guided Rosenwald patronage and demonstrates the extent to which the principles of meritocracy and expertise remained secondary concerns for those interested in cultivating African American intellectuals.

Résumé :

The evolving political landscape of a multicultural America grown disenchanted with the mythology of the melting pot had vast repercussions for the Jewish American literary imagination. Nonetheless, critical race theory has yet to take full stock of the role of Jewish writers in the debates over canonicity, representation, and multicultural literary genealogies occurring in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. Philip Roth's The Human Stain, published in 2000, directly engages questions of literary history, race, and the position of the Jewish writer and intellectual in the canon wars. By depicting the tragedy of an African American man who passes into whiteness by passing for a Jewish professor, Roth uses the trope of passing to simultaneously critique the puritan impulse he perceives at the heart of the multicultural academy and write himself into the multicultural canon taking shape at the time.

Résumé :

I am grateful for this rich and sumptuously detailed book by Elizabeth A. Clark on a neglected subject. Her splendid book is a reminder that although the early twentieth-century liberal and modernist scholars of early Christian history are largely forgotten—and tend to be derided when remembered—they strove with integrity and intelligence to be good historicists. I appreciate that the liberals of this period wanted Christianity to play a constructive role in society and tried to secure a place in the academy for the study of early Christian history. Still, they believed so intently in the superiority of their white middle-class culture that they could not see this belief as a form of prejudice.

Résumé :

The article is devoted to the critical analysis of the foreign historiography of the foundation of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. The authors focus on German and Anglo-American historiographic traditions. The authors analyze the works of M. Posselt, V. Stieda, A. Vucinich, S. Werrett, M. Gordin and others. The article shows the the development of approaches to the highlighting of the problem of the foundation of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. The Western historiography was initially dominated by German historians of science who were mostly interested in the role of foreigners (primarily Germans) in the history of the foundation of the Academy of Sciences. The authors of the article show that German historians followed the approach developed in Russian pre-revolutionary historiography. However, both British and American historians of science worked within this approach in the 1950–1970s. In this regard, the authors of the article draw attention to the interpretation of the history of Russian science by A. Vucinich and show its relations to the positivist historiography. An important result of the study concerns the identification of the fact that transformation in the Western historiography of the foundation of the Academy of Sciences was associated with new posmodern methodological strategies in cultural studies and in sociology. Theauthors show that contemporary Anglo-American historians tend to use the social analysis of M. Foucault, N. Elias and other influential contemporary sociologists, which significantly enriches the historiography of the foundation of the Academy of Sciences.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The genesis for this special issue on "Words and Deeds" was a panel discussion held in conjunction with the January 1997 joint meeting of the Conference on Latin American History and the American Historical Association in New York City. Participants Richard Boyer, Sonya Lipsett-Rivera, Kimberly Hanger, and Jane Landers presented the papers included in this volume. The essays all flowed together so nicely and initiated such a lively exchange among panelists and the audience that the editors of The Americas asked us to prepare them for publication, incorporating some of the commentary offered at the session. What you read in the following pages is a result of that process, although we still think it rather ironic that a journal produced by the Academy of American Franciscan History should want to include articles with so many off-color words and references to sexual conduct and violence!The fact that these essays generated such interest as conference papers and appear in this special issue of The Americas confirms the value cultural historians are placing on the study of insults, conflicts, and other confrontational behavior to reconstruct societal norms and worldviews and assess challenges to them. What constituted an insult or defined anti-social behavior reveals much about what the community considered each person's position in it; resistance to one's assigned role and identity or objection to someone else misconstruing this identity unmasked a sense of injustice that community members, especially its leaders, had to rectify in order to maintain social order.

Collier, Deirdre M. « Reintroducing John Maurice Clark to the Accounting Academy ». Accounting Historians Journal 46, n^o 1 (1 mars 2019) : 19–33. http://dx.doi.org/10.2308/aahj-52407.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

ABSTRACT This paper reintroduces economist John Maurice Clark to the accounting academic community while investigating his role in the development of managerial accounting. Clark was a prominent American economist during the early half of the 20th century, whose first major book, Studies in the Economics of Overhead Costs (Clark 1923a), has been described by diverse authors as foundational to the field of managerial accounting, especially overhead estimation and differential analysis. An overview of Clark's life is provided, followed by discussion of the importance of his work to accounting. Citation counts of his work in various accounting journals reveal that although widely referenced by accounting scholars for a short time after the publication of Overhead Costs, his name then disappeared from the literature, and indicates that his work is underappreciated. The paper discusses why this lacuna in accounting history is significant, and gives possible explanations for why Clark's work has been overlooked.

Résumé :

Digital Art History (DAH), which embraces massive datasets, innovative methodologies based on computational techniques, and collaborative paradigms, promises to offer new perspectives on the history of art. For example, DAH has the potential to shift the discipline’s focus from the traditional topics of inquiry to less explored aspects of the field—in short, to reposition the discipline’s central preoccupations with the issues of patronage, which are the concerns of the elite, to broader structures at work in a society, including the experiences of the marginalized. This displacement from center to periphery is not restricted to DAH research questions, but often applies to other aspects of DAH as well: to its status within the Digital Humanities (DH); to the demographic it frequently attracts; and to the infrastructure(s) developed to support it. Yet despite this potential, in many respects DAH occupies the periphery. This essay problematizes these issues as crystallized by the establishment of a digital art history lab at a privately funded library that serves the public, and explores one instance of how DAH has forced the North American academy to reflect further on the issues of privilege, access, and the future of art history.

Résumé :

Abstract In recent years, Chinese scientists have achieved significant progress in paleontological discoveries and scientific studies. Series of studies published in top journals, such as Science, Nature and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), have astonished the world by presenting beautiful fossils that furnish robust evidence to enrich the understanding of organismic evolution, major extinctions and stratigraphy. It has been portrayed as the heyday in the paleontology of China. What is the status of the field? What factors have caused the avalanche of fossil discoveries in China? What implications can these new discoveries provide for our understanding of current evolution theories? How, given their significant contribution to the world's paleontology scholarship, can Chinese scientists play a due leadership role in the field? At an online forum organized by the National Science Review (NSR), its associate editor-in-chief, Zhonghe Zhou, asked four scientists in the field as well as NSR executive editor-in-chief Mu-ming Poo to join the discussion.

The article focuses on a particular station of Zoltán Kodály’s 1966 American tour, the fortnight spent in Santa Barbara, California in August 1966, during which he gave a televised interview to Ernő Dániel, chaired the conference “The Role of Music in Education: A Conference with Zoltán Kodály” held at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and attended a concert organized in his honor. Based on her research conducted on the spot in 1994 as well as on sources from the estate of Ernő Dániel, the paper also reconstructs the history of the premieres in California during the early 1960s of Psalmus Hungaricus (Santa Barbara, 1961) and the Symphony (Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, 1963). The article also surveys the career of Ernő Dániel, an alumnus of the Budapest Music Academy, in America (1949–1977)

Résumé :

This paper seeks to combine studies of émigré scientists, Cold War American science, and cultural histories of mathematical communities by analyzing Richard Courant’s participation in the National Academy of Sciences interacademy exchange program with the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Following his dismissal by the Nazi government from his post as Director of the Göttingen Mathematics Institute in 1933, Courant spent a year at the University of Cambridge, and then immigrated to the United States where he developed the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. Courant’s participation with the National Academy of Sciences interacademy exchange program at the end of his career highlights his ideologies about the mathematics discipline, the international mathematics community, and the political role mathematicians could play in contributing to international peace through scientific diplomacy. Courant’s Cold War scientific identity emerges from his activities as an émigré mathematician, institution builder, and international “ambassador.”

Résumé :

ABSTRACTThis article examines the status of Richard Hofstadter's classic work The American political tradition (1948) as a ‘popular history’. It uses documents drawn from Hofstadter's personal papers, those of his publisher Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., as well as several of his contemporaries, to pursue a detailed reconstruction of the manner in which the book was written, edited, and reviewed, and to demonstrate how it circulated within, and was defined by, the literary culture of the 1940s and 1950s. The article explores Hofstadter's early career conception of himself as a scholar writing for audiences outside of the academy, reframes the significance of so-called ‘middlebrow’ literature, and, in doing so, offers a fresh appraisal of the links between popular historical writing, liberal politics, and the role of public intellectuals in the post-war United States.

Résumé :

This paper analyzes a fruitful scientific collaboration between a Russian diplomat and entomologist, Carl Robert Osten-Sacken, and a German dipterist Friedrich Hermann Loew, who laid the foundation for the studies on North American Diptera. In particular, it provides information about three collections of insects, made by Osten-Sacken: the main collection of North American Diptera with type specimens of the species described by Loew and Osten-Sacken himself, which was left in the USA and is now permanently deposited at the Louis Agassiz Museum of Comparative Zoology (Harvard University); a collection of the most common North American insects that was presented by Osten-Sacken to the Museum of Natural History (NYC), and a small collection of European Diptera, hosted at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. Other aspects of Osten-Sacken’s entomological studies are also analyzed, particularly his proposals for the chaetotaxy of Dipteran and for the order’s taxonomy, and his biographical book, “Record of My Life Work in Entomology”, is reviewed.

Résumé :

The School of Nursing at Heidelberg University was founded in 1953 on the initiative of the Rockefeller Foundation to generate new, scientifically trained nursing elite to advance the professionalization of nursing in West Germany. The “American” concept met massive resistance. Its “superior nursing training” was seen as creating “Hollywood nurses”—a threat to the traditional Christian understanding of good, caring nursing. Intense social conflicts also caused problems with other groups of nurses. The school nevertheless played a very important role as a “cadre academy” in the history of professionalization. Many of the first German professors in the nursing sciences trained or underwent further training in Heidelberg.

Résumé :

Recordings of conversations between Soviet amerikanists (experts for US studies) and American scientists, politicians, public figures, and businessmen became an important information source for experts and for the Soviet party leadership. In the late 1960s — early 1970s these conversations played the role of an informal channel connecting representatives of American and Soviet elites through the Institute for US Studies of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Using the theory of cultural transfer and the methodology of social constructivism, the author of this article conducts a detailed analysis of an information note that was sent to the Central Committee of the CPSU by the Institute for US Studies in 1969. The note is a recording of a conversation between amerikanists and American businessman Charles Thornton. It contains Thornton’s statements about the perception of the USSR in the United States; Soviet economic development and American-Soviet cooperation opportunities; American principles of management and organization of production. The American experience became a reference for the USSR in the context of détente and the ongoing economic reform. The ideas evoked a potent reaction among the Soviet party elite. There are a lot of marks in the margins of the note made by readers from different departments of CPSU. However, despite the favorable environment and official’s interest, the note was not discussed, and no specific decisions were made. This case-study allows us to raise a number of questions about the Soviet-American transfer of ideas, the image of the United States in the USSR, and the process of making domestic and foreign policy decisions.

Benigni's zaniness and self-mockery seemed to embody everything that has convinced foreigners that Italians are, above all, brava gente (nice people). Sometimes, this conclusion can have a supercilious air – niceness can easily be reduced to levity or fecklessness. In those university courses that seek to comprehend the terrible tragedies of twentieth-century Europe, Italians seldom play a leading role. German, Russian, Polish, Yugoslav, and even British and French history are each riven with death and disaster or, alternatively, with heroism and achievement. In such austere company, brava gente can seem out of place.

Résumé :

Professor Henrikson teaches American diplomatic history , contemporary US-European relations, and a seminar on geography, foreign policy, and world order at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, Medford, MA, USA. During the Spring of 2003 he was Fulbright/Diplomatic Academy Visiting Professor of International Relations at the Diplomatische Akademie in Vienna. His collaboration with the geographer Jean Gottmann began with his participation in the International Political Science Association's Round Table on the "center and periphery" theme in Paris at the Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques in 1978, and his ensuing contribution, "America's changing place in the world," to the volume, Centre and Periphery: Spatial Variation in Politics (1980), edited by Gottmann. He also contributed " 'A small, cozy town, global in scope': Washington, DC," an article for a thematic issue on "capital cities" that Professor Gottmann organized for Ekistics, vol. 50, no. 299 (March/April 1983). The author's present essay is based in part on his chapter, 'The role of metropolitan regions in making a new Atlantic community," in Ever Closer Partnership: Policy-Making in US-EU Relations, ed. Éric Philippart and Pascaline Winand (Brussels, Presses Interuniversitaires Europeenees - Peter Lang, 2001).

Résumé :

In 2011 and 2012, I undertook a two-part survey to answer some large questions about the use of plays in translation in the higher education drama classroom in Anglophone North America and to test my ideas regarding the simultaneous ubiquity and invisibility of translation there. My project here is to report on that survey and to make clear why translation studies is ready to take a prominent role in theatre studies. U.S. colleges and universities constitute one of the largest single markets in the world for drama translated into English. Most U.S. theatre history classes include plays from the world canon, and many specialized classes in theatre departments focus on plays from non-Anglophone cultures. In English departments, where other genres in translation (e.g., the novel) may be approached with caution, drama seems to be offered a “pass” because the notion of being dramaturgically literate depends on some knowledge of a sizable canon of non-Anglophone plays. Yet despite its ubiquity, translation is often so normalized as to be invisible to those who depend on it. As Laurence Senelick notes, “For most students, a work exists wholly in its translated form, spontaneously generated.” Translation, as the survey confirmed, is part of the DNA of theatre studies. As such, I argue, it needs to be brought to the foreground of the field. In saying this, I am not unaware of the rich work undertaken by scholars, editors, and practitioners who are enmeshed in the difficult issues involved with translating plays, which include pressing for greater attention to cultural sensitivity and literacy. My focus here is on the academy and the classroom, where, for better or worse, the vast majority of future dramaturgs and audience members will cut their teeth on a critical mass of plays and where no single language or production entity or publisher can claim pride of place.

Résumé :

The organization of the National Science Foundation in 1950 gave it a late start on supporting American science. It survived as a poorly funded sister to the Office of Naval Research until the late 1950s, when Sputnik opened up the federal coffers for science support and education. This was particularly true in the ocean sciences, where NSF financial commitment to research support remained extremely limited, until the lobbying of the National Academy of Sciences' Committee on Oceanography, combined with the results of Sputnik, led to a dramatic new commitment of resources. One of the earliest major recipients of NSF resources in oceanography and the earth sciences was Project Mohole. Mohole gave the Foundation the opportunity to take a leadership role in oceanography and the earth sciences, although internal squabbles among supporters, along with projected cost over-runs, eventually led to a funding cut-off by Congress in 1966. However, the NSF's leadership role in the ocean sciences was by then well established.

Resumo: Este artigo investiga e descreve o funcionamento da Academia Brasílica dos Esquecidos, fundada na colônia portuguesa na América, em 1724. As informações aqui reunidas foram colhidas nos códices que contêm as produções acadêmicas e em outras fontes bibliográficas. Esses códices foram publicados por José Aderaldo Castello entre 1969 e 1971. Essa Academia desempenhou importante papel histórico no desenvolvimento da organização de atividades intelectuais na colônia portuguesa, que viria, um século mais tarde, a ser um país independente, o Brasil. A Academia foi fundada para cumprir orientações emanadas da Academia Real de História Portuguesa, criada em Lisboa. Seu principal objetivo era a produção de uma História da colônia, dividida em quatro partes: natural, militar, eclesiástica e política. Além dos textos historiográficos, encomendados a quatro dos acadêmicos, os demais membros apresentavam produções poéticas em todas as sessões (sobre temas que lhes eram também encomendados). O acadêmico Sebastião da Rocha Pita, um dos mais importantes membros da Academia, foi objeto de algumas considerações ao longo do artigo.Palavras-chave: movimento academicista no Brasil; Academia Brasílica dos Esquecidos; História e literatura.Abstract: This paper investigates and describes the inner workings of the Academia Brasílica dos Esquecidos, founded in the Portuguese colony in the Americas in 1724. Data was collected from codices containing academic productions of this institution published by José Aderaldo Castello between 1969 and 1971 and other bibliographical sources. This Academy played an important historical role in the organization of intellectual activities in the Portuguese colony that would, a century later, become an independent country, Brazil. Founded to comply with guidelines issued by the Royal Academy of Portuguese History, created at Lisbon, the Academy’s main goal was to write a history of the colony, divided into four parts: natural, military, ecclesiastical, and political. Besides historiographical texts, requested from four of the academics, the other members produced poetic writings in all genres (on preestablished topics). Scholar Sebastião da Rocha Pita, a key member of the Academy, was the object of some considerations throughout the text.Keywords: academic movement in Brazil; Academia Brasílica dos Esquecidos; history and literature.

Résumé :

In Protestants Abroad David Hollinger reminds us of the vital role of missionaries in American history. The book explores how overseas missions, though often linked with imperialism, produced a counterreaction against it in the course of the twentieth century. As a result of the “cascading self-interrogations” from the mission field, both the missionary enterprise and churches in America were challenged and changed. Missionaries, their children, and missionary-connected Americans helped their country come to grips with the traditions and modern realities of Asia, pioneered in the development of academic studies of Asia, and left distinct, cosmopolitan marks on America’s national life.

Résumé :

The paper focuses on how the decipherment of Maya writing by Yuri Knorozov was promoted in the context of Soviet science diplomacy in the 1950s, and the reaction to this discovery in the foreign public sphere. The process of informing about Knorozov’s breakthrough in the study of Maya hieroglyphs began in the summer of 1952 in “Literaturnaya gazeta”, even before the official publication of his article. In response, “The New York Times” published two comments in which the name of the young Russian scholar was mentioned for the first time. Particular interest was expressed in Mexico, where all major newspapers reacted to the news from USSR. This motivated the Soviet embassy to publish an abbreviated Spanish translation of Knorozov’s article in their bulletin in 1953. This publication, in turn, contributed to the spread of information both among a wider audience and among the academic community. After the defense of Knorozov’s dissertation, when he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Sciences (Habilitation), a new promotion campaign started. His report on the decipherment with an English translation was distributed to the participants of the 10th Congress of Historical Sciences in Rome (1955), and later he presented his discoveries at the 32nd International Congress of Americanists in Copenhagen, which caused a wide international responce. Publications in the Soviet public journals such as “Sovietsky Soyuz” (Soviet Union) and “Novoe Vremy a” (The New Times) played a special role. They paid less attention to the ideological confrontation and highlighted the achievements of Soviet historical science. By the end of the 1950s, the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphs became one of the main elements of the positive image of Soviet science.

Résumé :

Background: Sleep plays a vital role in good health, growth and well-being. Sleep disorders manifest with disturbance in both quantity and quality of sleep. The current generation of children is growing up surrounded by a world of electronic media through the smartphones and tablets of their parents. Previous studies have shown that sleep disorders are increasing in pediatric age group. This study aimed to assess screen-time, quality and quantity of sleep in children aged 3-15 years.Methods: Total 104 children were recruited for our cross-sectional study from Meenakshi Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Kanchipuram. After obtaining consent, Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) was administered after collecting clinical history. Anthropometry and clinical examination was performed.Results: Total 8 out of 104 children (7.69%) in the study had poor quality sleep (PSQ Score≥5). 48 out of 104 children (46.1%) had deficient quantity of sleep as per American Academy for Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommendations. Children born with low birth weight had comparatively poorer quality of sleep (r=0.331 p=0.015). All 104 children had spent more screen time than permitted for their age.Conclusions: Quality and quantity of sleep were affected in children aged 3-15 years. This may be attributed to increased screen time but needs to be confirmed in larger studies.

Résumé :

The years following the Second World War, according to the Norwegian scholar Sigmund Skard, witnessed the “Rediscovery of America,” as European academics belatedly turned their attention to the United States at a time when its pre-eminent global role could not be ignored. In Britain some believed that the awakening was already under way, the Principal of what became Exeter University having described 1941 as the year of the British “discovery of America.” The jarring realization that the very survival of Britain depended on a close alliance with the American giant had precipitated not only frenetic governmental activity but also intense interest in the United States throughout the media. Perhaps the “discovery” or “rediscovery” of America in British consciousness cannot be dated with exact precision, but the years from the war to the mid-1960s may fairly be called the “take-off period” for the academic study of American history in Britain. This essay briefly considers the role of some of the participants in this endeavour.

Résumé :

İbrahim Dellal (1932-2018) was a community activist and played a pioneering role in establishing religious and educational institutions after his arrival in Melbourne in early 1950. As the grandson of a late Ottoman mufti, being educated at the American Academy, a Baptist missionary school in Cyprus, clashed at times with his traditional upbringing based on Islam, service and Ottoman patriotism. İbrahim’s parents, especially his mother, raised their son to be Osmanli Efendisi, an Ottoman gentleman. He was raised to be loyal to his faith and dedicated to his community. I met him in the late 80s in Sydney and discovered he was an important community leader, a ‘living history’, perhaps the most important figure in the Australian Muslim community since the mid-20th century. He was also one of the founders of Carlton and Preston mosques, which were the first places of worship in Victoria. I wrote his biography and published it in 2010. However, later I found he had more stories related to Australian Muslim heritage. First, this article will analyse İbrahim’s untold stories from his unrevealed archives that I collected. Second, İbrahim’s traditional upbringing, which was a combination of Western education and Ottoman Efendisi, will be critically evaluated. He successfully amalgamated Eurocentric education and Islamic way of life. Finally, his poetry, which reflects his thoughts, will be discussed.

Résumé :

Comparative and international education intersects with international relations, international development and modernization, and domestic political, cultural, and economic concerns. Therefore, the history of comparative and international education must be understood in a larger historical context. This article engages the current debate on the founding history of American comparative and international education. It addresses specifically the role of the International Institute of Teachers College, Columbia University in the formation of comparative education as a formal academic field in America. Of particular importance is the investigation of the immediate social and cultural concerns in post-World War I America that informed the motivation and purposes of expanding international education and comparative studies of different nations’ educational ideas, practices, conditions, and systems. A closer look at the founding leaders’ views on the relations of different cultures in terms of social progress further sheds light on how education was perceived as a tool for social change and the extension of American values across the globe.

The panel brought together seniorscholars of Islam, history, and cultural studies.Moderator Ermin Sinanović (director, Research and Academic Programs,IIIT) divided it into three rounds and allowed questions after each round. Eachround addressed an ISIS-related question: (1) “How should we best understandISIS? Is it a product of Islamic tradition or something inherently modern? Whatis ISIS an example for?”; (2) “What role does the Islamic tradition play in enabling,justifying, or delegitimizing ISIS?”; and (3) “Is ISIS Islamic?”The first speaker, Ovamir Anjum (Imam Khattab Endowed Chair of IslamicStudies, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, University ofToledo) reminded the audience of the commonality of violence for politicalends in history by arguing that this is not a uniquely Islamic phenomenon. Accordingto Islamic tradition, groups like ISIS that employ violence to kill Muslimsand non-Muslims are ghulāt (extremists), rebels, or khawārij. One mustunderstand ISIS within the Islamic tradition, because the group is using Islamicsymbols. But this does not mean that it is an Islamic phenomenon.In the second round, he contextualized the issue by stating that the numberof Syrians killed by Bashar al-Assad is seven times higher than those killedby ISIS. He remarked that “ISIS is horrifying for psychological reasons becausethey use the pornography of violence, for example, not because theyare a uniquely murderous threat. There are a lot of those in the world.” Anjumalso found its acts dangerous because its members justify their own biases inthe name of Islam. He restated that the group is khawārij, enslaves and killsnon-combatants, and rejects the authority of existent Islamic scholarship becausethe Islamic juristic tradition forbids killing non-combatants.Anjum responded to the final question by refusing to call ISIS “Islamic,”for “Of course ISIS is making Islamic claims, but Islamic tradition is verycomplex and has been very difficult to agree on things except for a very, veryfew fundamentals throughout Islamic history.” He also argued that “those whoexcommunicate Muslims en masse and kill for that reason are khawārij, andthey must be fought. This is agreed upon by both Sunni and Shi‘a scholars.” ...

Résumé :

OBJECTIVES Although no longer included in the American Academy of Pediatrics guideline, ribavirin was shown to be beneficial in a subset of adult patients with severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)–associated bronchiolitis. This study aimed to investigate risk factors for progression to severe acute respiratory tract infections in hospitalized pediatric patients with RSV-associated bronchiolitis to identify which patients may benefit from inhaled ribavirin therapy, despite its substantial cost, diffcult administration, and potential complications. METHODS Patients were identified by ICD-9 codes for RSV bronchiolitis and were only included if they had a confirmed positive result for RSV via polymerase chain reaction for detection and typing of respiratory viruses. Patient characteristics, including underlying conditions and comorbidities, were analyzed for the risk of severe acute respiratory tract infection. RESULTS A total of 299 patients were included in the study population. Ninety-six patients (32%) were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit, and almost half of those patients (46%) required mechanical ventilation. Weight and presence of atrial septal defect were the only factors significantly associated with the need for mechanical ventilation, as identified by univariate analysis. Two patients required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and a total of 5 patients, including one who received ECMO, died with RSV infection as the primary cause. Of these patients, all were less than 1 year of age. Two had a history of prematurity; however, no variables were associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS Given the side effect profile and expense of ribavirin therapy, it is prudent to limit use to patients at risk for significant morbidity and mortality from RSV disease. Because we were unable to identify patients who would most likely benefit from ribavirin antiviral therapy, we cannot recommend the routine use of ribavirin to prevent mechanical ventilation, ECMO, or death from RSV bronchiolitis in our institution.
