Denzin’s work is overviewed in the context of its relationship to the author’s and the field at large with a focus on the founding and sustaining efforts of his scholarship, field-defining editorial contributions and ICQI.

More than Memorizing Rules

This article details a collaborative editing assignment that asks students to analyze and assess editorial contributions made to Wikipedia. This project not only provides students an opportunity to apply their understanding of grammar and style concepts to real-world editing situations, it also calls students' attention to the underlying ideological biases and rhetorical impact of subtle language choices used in specific Wikipedia articles. In explaining the rationale behind this assignment and discussing several student samples, this article demonstrates how designing writing assignments around the collaborative, multi-authored nature of Wikipedia can highlight the influence of cultural circumstances on both sentence-level stylistic choices and broader developmental editorial practices.

How "gutsy" does an organization have to be to absorb new information?

Absorptive capacity was first defined in 1990 by Cohen and Levinthal as “an organization’s ability to identify, assimilate, and integrate new knowledge.”1(p.128) In 2002, Zahra and George2 expanded on this definition to emphasize the active process of transforming and exploiting that new knowledge.3 Their extended definition provided the basis for the 4 components of absorptive capacity: i) identify the new knowledge, ii) assimilate the knowledge, iii) integrate the knowledge into the existing knowledge base, and iv) use the new knowledge to change the organization in some way.3 The concept of absorptive capacity has its origins in biology4 and refers to the capacity of the gastrointestinal tract to absorb digested nutrients into the body. Somehow, this term leaked out of the gut and has been adopted by the business world where it is used to help understand and monitor an organization’s capacity to absorb new or innovative knowledge.1 In due course, the health care system also adopted this concept, hence the reason behind our review published in this issue of JBI Evidence Synthesis.3 In preparation for our scoping review, we engaged with all stakeholders and explored our understanding of the concept of absorptive capacity. Then, we examined the literature, seeking to establish how absorptive capacity is conceptualized and measured in the adoption of innovations in health care organizations. A scoping review methodology was deemed the most appropriate methodology to pursue this investigation, as it facilitated the breadth of inquiry required to inform both of these related issues. The review was conducted through the Strategy for Patient Oriented Research (SPOR) Evidence Alliance5 and was initiated by the Knowledge Translation Unit, Strategic Policy Branch of Health Canada. Colleagues from Health Canada were involved at multiple key points throughout the review.6 Most importantly, the entire team, including the Health Canada library scientist, Health Canada director, the Queen’s Collaboration for Health Care Quality research team, SPOR Evidence Alliance staff, and several graduate students, collaborated over multiple meetings to generate and refine the research question. Knowledge-user experts in the field of organizational change were also invited and included in the meeting discussions. Beyond refining the question, this integrated knowledge translation approach7 involved title and abstract screening, full-text review, and editorial contributions to the final report.6 None of the articles included in this review generated a new definition of absorptive capacity; rather, they investigated the influence of local health care contexts on this process. Each context required a different focus on the 4 components of absorptive capacity, and organizations drew attention to the factors that they found valuable to their particular process. It appears that organizations need to be more than just “gutsy” to absorb new information; expertise in each of the components of absorptive capacity is important to the success of this process, and understanding the contribution of context is essential. Measurement of the progress is crucial, and using the domains of absorptive capacity as a framework is beneficial in guiding this process of planning for and assessing the adoption of knowledge within the organization and any change that ensues as a result.

Govindjee’s 90th birthday – Congratulations from friends and colleagues

On the occasion of the 90th birthday of Govindjee, Professor Emeritus of Plant Biology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), over 100 celebrants have sent felicitations and messages to thank him for mentoring, nurturing, and building the community of photosynthesis researchers belonging to four generations; and in making the scientific knowledge accessible to students and young researchers via his monumental writings and editorial contributions. Govindjee joined UIUC in September of 1956 to study as a graduate student in the laboratory of Robert Emerson. In 1961, he joined UIUC as an Assistant Professor and retired as a full professor in 1999. He is well-known for pioneering work in oxygenic photosynthesis, leading to the current Z-scheme, and for his breakthrough advances concerning light harvesting, primary charge separation, the role of bicarbonate on the two-electron gate of photosystem II, water oxidation, nonphotochemical quenching, and the use of biophysical techniques, such as prompt fluorescence, delayed fluorescence, thermoluminescence, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Today, despite his retirement, Govindjee continues to explore several important questions in the field of photosynthesis and documents the history of science. This tribute, in turn, attempts to capture scientific collaborations, as well as scholarly and personal contributions made by Govindjee to the lives of hundreds of scholars and students worldwide.

Characteristics of Hepatic Veno-Occlusive Disease from the Cell Therapy Transplant Canada Registry: A Retrospective Observational Study

Introduction:Hepatic venous occlusive disease (VOD) is a well-described early complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The disease presents with elevated bilirubin, hepatomegaly, right upper quadrant pain, ascites and weight gain. Multi organ failure (MOF) can also occur, mainly renal and pulmonary failure, in severe cases. The incidence, pathogenesis, risk factors, and treatment of VOD remain poorly defined. Purpose:We aimed to determine the incidence of, risk factors, treatment patterns and resource utilization associated with VOD in Canada. Methods:Using the Cell Therapy and Transplant Canada (CTTC) database, which collects data from 15 stem cell transplant programs across Canada, a retrospective observational study was performed. Using patient demographics, disease and transplant characteristics, and the Center for International Blood &amp; Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) Form 2553 which collects information on patients diagnosed with VOD, data was collected. All allogeneic transplants performed on both children and adults between 2013 and 2019 were included in the analysis. Children and adults were analyzed as two separate cohorts. Results:The total incidence of VOD was 64/2507 (2.55%). The incidence of VOD was 27/464 (5.82%) in children and 24/2030 (1.18%) in adults. Risk factors for VOD for children and adults are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. The most common treatments for VOD in children and adults were defibrotide (74.1% and 29.2%, respectively), diuretics (70.4% and 62.5%, respectively) and ursodiol (48.0% and 63.6%, respectively). The mean intensive care unit (ICU) visit duration and hospitalization in children with VOD was 7.0 days and 37.1 days, respectively. The mean ICU visit duration and hospitalization in adults with VOD was 8.2 days and 37.1 days, respectively. There were no differences in overall survival, relapse rates or non-relapse mortality between VOD patients and non-VOD patients in both children and adults. Discussion:Between 2013 and 2019, the incidence of VOD in allogeneic HSCT in Canada was 2.55%. This is consistent with recent reports from other countries including from the CIBMTR and a report from the United States at 3.3% and 5.4%, respectively. An unexpected finding was the difference in incidence between children and adults. Possible explanations for this include younger age being an actual risk factor for VOD, increased clinical vigilance amongst pediatric clinicians, reporting bias, alternative diagnoses because of more hepatic comorbidities in adults or a more obvious clinical presentation of VOD in children. This requires further investigation. Further to this, a higher proportion of children diagnosed with VOD received defibrotide than did adults diagnosed with VOD. It is unclear why this occurred. The significant risk factors identified in our study are similar to previously published risk factors for VOD. Although, comparative data with non-VOD patients was not available in this data set, VOD patients in both the pediatric and adult populations have longer hospitalizations than historical controls which have an average hospitalization of 23.6 days. No survival or relapse differences were found in our data however VOD cases were not divided into VOD and VOD-MOF. VOD-MOF has been associated with significant mortality of &amp;gt;80%. Weaknesses of our study include its retrospective nature, potential for reporting bias, variable reporting quality from multiple centres and lack of uniform diagnostic criteria for VOD. Conclusion:The incidence and risk factors for VOD in 15 Canadian HSCT centres are similar to previous reports from other countries. Children made up a higher proportion of VOD patients and a high proportion of children received defibrotide. Further study of the resource utilization associated with VOD is required.

Walker Dan – Newcastle fan. One perspective of the changes in elite English football during the 1990s

ABSTRACTIt has been argued that the structural and cultural changes experienced in the 1990 s by elite English professional football were the most sweeping of the twentieth century. This paper charts a number of the most significant shifts through the eyes of fans of Newcastle United Football Club (NUFC). The data presented is derived from NUFC’s fanzine The Mag drawing on fans letters, editorial contributions and principally cartoons featuring the archetypal traditional NUFC supporter ‘Walker Dan – Newcastle Fan’ who was a prominent feature in The Mag throughout the period. In its original use of empirical evidence the work seeks to reverse Peter Millward’s observation that football fanzines have been neglected in cultural studies despite being a rich and varied data source.

Handing the Microphone to Women: Changes in Gender Representation in Editorial Contributions Across Medical and Health Journals 2008-2018.

The editorial materials in top medical and public health journals are opportunities for experts to offer thoughts that might influence the trajectory of the field. To date, while some studies have examined gender bias in the publication of editorial materials in medical journals, none have studied public health journals. In this perspective, we studied the gender ratio of the editorial materials published in the top health and medical sciences journals between 2008 and early 2018 to test whether gender bias exists. We studied a total of 59 top journals in health and medical sciences. Overall, while there is a trend of increasing proportion of female first authors, there is still a greater proportion of male than female first authors. The average male-to-female first author ratio during the study period across all journals was 2.08. Ensuring equal access and exposure through journal editorials is a critical step, albeit only one step of a longer journey, towards gender balance in health and medical sciences research. Editors of top journals have a key role to play in pushing the fields towards more balanced gender equality, and we strongly urge editors to rethink the strategies for inviting authors for editorial materials.

Preface to a special volume of acarological papers in memory of Ekaterina Alekseevna Sidorchuk (1981-2019).

The acarological and palaeontological communities lost a rising star when Dr Ekaterina Alekseevna (Katya) Sidorchuk passed away in a tragic accident while diving in the Maldives on 20 January 2019. Katya was a good colleague of many acarologists and much-loved friend of numerous collaborators. She was a highly-valued member of the editing team of Zootaxa, serving as a subject editor for Oribatida (Acari) for several years; her excellent editorial contributions were greatly appreciated by many colleagues and friends. To honour Katya, her colleagues and friends of the acarological world dedicate here a special volume of Zootaxa in her memory.

Artykuł Zagadki edytorskie „Spitamegeranomachii” Jana Achacego Kmity jest wyrywkowym opisem prac nad dwuczęściową publikacją „Spitamegeranomachia” Jana Achacego Kmity – edycja…, która ukazała się w czasopiśmie „Meluzyna. Dawna literatura i kultura” (2017 r.). Nowa edycja poematu opierała się na pierwodruku (1595 r.) i jego XIX-wiecznej reedycji (1897 r.), spożytkowano też przyczynki edytorskie Aleksandra Brücknera i Jacka Sokolskiego. Artykuł obrazuje trudności pokonane w trakcie komentowania tekstu. Wskazuje się jednocześnie na brak obszerniejszego opracowania struktury gatunkowej poematu: kwalifikowany jest on jako heroikomikum, ale też jako poemat aluzyjny lub satyryczno-polityczny.

Visual pursuits and cervical tremor improved following electro-acupuncture

Event Abstract Back to Event Visual pursuits and cervical tremor improved following electro-acupuncture Amy K. Moll1* 1 Carrick Institute, United States Introduction: This case describes pre- and post-examination findings following electro-acupuncture, highlighting the value of performing a Western functional neurological examination for baseline functional performance in an acupuncture clinical application. A 17-year old female patient with a history of concussion (age 9) and traumatic assault (age 14) presented with chronic nausea and anxiety for 3 years. She simultaneously developed progressively worsening digestive issues with an inability to digest protein, gluten, or dairy, leading her to adopt a very restrictive gluten-free dairy-free vegan diet. Examination: A neurological exam revealed that gaze holding in left visual gaze resulted in a yes-yes cervical tremor. There was a notable decrease gain of leftward visual pursuits with saccadic intrusions. Rapid alternating movements of the left arm were mildly dyspraxic and gait analysis identified a cross-steppage gait that worsened with dual-tasking with hesitations in gait without freezing. Diagnosis: A clinical diagnosis identified a movement disorder with frontal-parietal-basal ganglionic functional deficits. Treatment: Electro-acupuncture was performed bilaterally on P6 and two acupoints on the scalp – UB 9 threaded to UB 10, and a second point 0.5 cun lateral, threaded parallel to UB 9. Electro-acupuncture was performed on all 4 needles with 25 Hz microcurrent using a Pantheon 8C FDA approved electro-acupuncture device. Needles were retained for 20 minutes. Acupuncture points were selected to activate cerebellar integration and feed forward activation of the frontal-parietal cortex. The acupuncture point UB 9, when threaded in the direction of UB 10 is also referred to as both MS14 and the Balance Line due to its anatomical proximity to the cerebellum. In this case, the two scalp acupuncture points were needled on the left side only. Outcome: Following the electro-acupuncture, the cervical tremor was absent with gaze holding to the left and improvements in pursuit gain were observed without saccadic intrusions. Marked improvements were observed in rapid alternating movement of the left arm. Post-treatment gait analysis observed an absence of a cross-steppage gait with both normal gait and gait with dual-tasking without hesitations. The patient reported that she no longer experienced nausea following the electro-acupuncture session. Discussion: We are familiar with a fMRI study using acupuncture at P6 that was associated with an increased activity in midline cerebellar regions including the cerebellar nodulus and uvula (Yoo et al. 2004). This case provides an example of the value of a functional neurological approach directing acupuncture strategies. The utilization of Western pre- and post-neurological examinations can serve to inform acupuncture treatment strategies, quantifying the consequences of electro-acupuncture on human neurological function.

Editing and Editorializing: The New Genetic Cahier of Aimé Césaire

This essay focuses on the new landscape of Aimé Césaire studies that has been made possible largely through the work of one scholar, A. James Arnold (along with a team including Alex Gil, Daniel Delas, and others). The publication in 2013 of the enormous volume Poésie, théâtre, essais et discours (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique / Présence Africaine) reorganizes and reorients the study of Césaire's principal texts, especially the Cahier d'un retour au pays natal. Arnold's prefaces in that volume and in his edition of The Original 1939 Notebook of a Return to the Native Land go beyond editing and into editorializing about the evolution of the Cahier. Examining issues of Marxism, surrealism, and poetic politics, this essay attempts to raise certain questions about Arnold's interpretations, while recognizing the immense value of his editorial contributions.

From the Mast-Head

From the Mast-Head Samuel Otter With a special section in this second “Melville at 200” issue, we honor the achievement of The Writings of Herman Melville, published by Northwestern University Press and the Newberry Library, a monumental project to make available a complete scholarly edition of Melville’s work. The effort began in 1965, under the direction of Northwestern University professor Harrison Hayford, and concluded in 15 volumes with the publication in 2017 of “Billy Budd, Sailor” and Other Uncompleted Writings. For the first time, readers now have access to meticulously prepared texts of Melville’s published and unpublished writings, edited according to guidelines established by the MLA’s Center for Editions of American Authors, along with indispensable historical notes, textual notes, and related documents. Whatever our critical and readerly investments, whatever necessary debates have arisen about editorial principles and choices, all who value Melville’s texts are in debt to the expertise and devotion of Harrison Hayford (who served as General Editor until his death in 2001), Hershel Parker (Associate General Editor from 1965 to 2001 and then General Editor from 2001 to 2017), G. Thomas Tanselle (Bibliographical Editor from 1965 to 2017), and their collaborating editors and scholars. Such editorial and contextual work, sometimes taken for granted, provides the foundation for the literary critical enterprise. To acknowledge the project’s completion, we invited participants to reflect on their experience and on the aims and value of the undertaking. The special section includes six contributions by Parker, Tanselle, Dennis Berthold, Alma A. MacDougall, Robert D. Madison, and Robert A. Sandberg. Tanselle also has supplied an introductory “Brief History of the Northwestern-Newberry Edition.” Contributors offer an inside view of why, how, where, and with whom the work on The Writings of Herman Melville was done. Across the special section, the figure of Harrison Hayford is palpable: as General Editor for the first 13 volumes in the series (credit is also given to him for his editorial contributions to the final two volumes, published after his death) and also as dissertation director, mentor, colleague, friend, and book collector. On April 6, 2019, I had the pleasure of attending “Making Melville Legible,” a symposium held at the Newberry Library in Chicago to acknowledge the completion of the Northwestern-Newberry Edition. Presentations were given by, among others, G. Thomas Tanselle, the project’s Bibliographical Editor for [End Page 1] its entire run; Alma A. MacDougall, Editorial Coordinator from 1981 to 2008 and then Executive Editor from 2009 to 2017; and John Bryant, Editor of the Melville Electronic Library. April 6 was also the last day of the superb “Melville: Finding America at Sea” exhibit on Melville’s career, life, and times, curated by Will Hansen of the Newberry (see Fig. 1). Fittingly, part of the exhibition space was once the Newberry’s Melville Room, in which editors and researchers labored during an early phase of the Northwestern-Newberry project. One of the display cases in the exhibit showcased items associated with The Writings of Herman Melville, including a prospectus and Harrison Hayford’s funding proposal (see Figs. 2 and 3). With the copestone now in place for The Writings of Herman Melville, the mandate, as General Editor Hershel Parker puts it in his contribution to the special section, has been fulfilled. With the closing flourish of Melville’s “Cetology” chapter in mind, we might appreciate the “Time, Strength, Cash, and Patience” it has taken to complete this scholarly Cathedral of Cologne. This issue of Leviathan also contains three essays analyzing from different perspectives the Melville book that continues to be the focus for a wider reading public and for the academy, transformed by critical and theoretical developments and in turn challenging its interpreters: the “hypercanonical” (Jerome McGann’s phrase in his essay for this issue) Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. In “The Great Final Hash of Moby-Dick,” McGann draws attention away from the cynosures Ahab and Ishmael, marking out their narrative functions and the limits of their perspectives. McGann’s Moby-Dick is a texture of parodies (he attends specifically to the Bible and to Byron), distinguished by parataxis and discontinuity, an expansive meditation on failure. “In Navigating Dualisms...

Introduction

Introdution Wikipedia is one of the most visited knowledge resources in the world. The Alexa traffic rankings put it at number 7, well above the New York Times (104), the BBC (106), the Library of Congress (1,175), and the venerable Encyclopedia Britannica (3711) (Alexa, 2016). As historian Roy Rosenzweig puts it, Wikipedia has become "perhaps the largest work of online historical writing, the most widely read work of digital history, and the most important free historical resource on the World Wide Web" (Rosenzweig 2006, p. 52). Wikipedia has become so ingrained in our everyday search for information that users rarely give thought to the mechanisms and agency underneath its production of knowledge: who produces its content? And what visible and invisible structures govern this production? Indeed, we have come to take its presence for granted to a degree that editorial contributions to many Wikipedia pages are in fact stagnating (Wikipedia, n.p.; Ford, 2011).

Reconstructing Whitman’s Desk at the Brooklyn Daily Times

WHEN THE EDITOR of the Brooklyn Daily Times from 1885 to 1905 inherited what was known as Walt Whitman's desk, his curiosity regarding the relic was piqued.1 Dissatisfied with the accounts of survivors of an earlier day who knew about Whitman and his habits, and where the desk used to stand, Alexander Black took the story to its source in 1891.2 His letter of inquiry to Whitman was returned on May 12, along with Black's photo of the desk (see Figure 1).Couldn't remember distinctly enough to authenticate the desk . . . but I know I had a good time in the Times-& heartily send my best respects & love to the boys one & all now there-I send my last photo: Tack it up if you like on the wall you all most congregate.3A year later, Whitman was dead, and the desk-perhaps the only physical sign of his Times editorship-had fallen to pieces.Whitman's editorship at the Times has become a standard part of his chronology since the publication of Emory Holloway and Vernolian Schwarz's I Sit and Look Out: Editorials from the Brooklyn Daily Times (1932).4 Holloway's twenty-seven-page Introduction sets forth Whitman's tenure from May 1 1857 to June 1859, his longest stay at any newspaper by several months; estimations of his editorial contributions outnumber those written for any other periodical.5 I Sit and Look Out remains the single book-length study of Whitman's work on the Times and the only easily accessible source of his editorials.6 And it has remained a source text for scholars recognizing Whitman's Times editorship, from Gay Wilson Allen to Dennis Renner.7Yet Holloway and Schwarz's study has considerable flaws, leading some Whitman scholars to express doubts regarding the validity of their claims and even to request that the Times editorship be removed from Whitman's standard chronology.8 Holloway admits to his limited source materials9 -his account of the newspaper's history comes almost entirely from the Times' own sixtieth anniversary issue-and only 125 of what might be over 900 editorials are presented by subject rather than by date. As Jerome Loving has shown, Holloway and Schwarz made inaccurate transcriptions as well as silent omissions in their choices of editorials, tempering the political conservatism that does not seem to jibe with Whitman's radical literary experiments of the time.10 I Sit and Look Out was reprinted in 1966, but not updated since its first publication. In the 1960s, Herbert Bergman began assembling all of Whitman's journalism, including all of his editorials for the Times, for a comprehensive edition. His work remains unfinished, though Douglas Noverr and Jason Stacy are currently sifting through Bergman's notes for what will be the third volume of Whitman's journalism.11This essay updates and expands Holloway's argument for Whitman's editorship of the Brooklyn Daily Times, and reexamines Holloway's proposed time span of Whitman's employment. Despite the lack of signed articles, staff boxes or Whitman's direct indication that he had edited the Times, compelling evidence exists for Whitman's tenure as at least a de facto editor. A Calamus manuscript with a Times editorial draft on its verso provides proof in Whitman's hand, and several convincing self-references reside in Times editorials. Though some of the articles seem out of character for Whitman-which might be explained by the domineering presence and editorial contributions of the paper's proprietor-others echo Whitman's writings published elsewhere. Furthermore, Whitman may have been on staff months earlier than Holloway's widely accepted start date of May 1, 1857. Like scholars before and after him, Holloway misunderstood the period of compilation and publication dates of the Brooklyn directories, though he relied upon them to calculate Whitman's tenure at the Times.From as early as circa April 1856 to June 1859, Whitman's days were shaped by his work for the Brooklyn Daily Times. …
