In search of new literary voices that might present an answer to Amitav Ghosh's 2016 lament on the failure of contemporary literary fiction to find forms that adequately express the multiple challenges of the Anthropocene, I came across a review of Allegra Hyde's debut novel in the Los Angeles Times. The novel's title, Eleutheria, was suggestive enough to pique my interest: etymologically, it evokes the concepts of liberty and freedom; geographically, it calls to mind the small island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas that was colonized in the late 1640s by a group of English Puritans known as the Eleutheran Adventurers. Add to this that Willa Marks, the novel's narrator-protagonist, is a twenty-two-year-old member of Generation Z, the same generation as the students we teach these days, and Eleutheria (2022) becomes a worthy candidate for an American Studies syllabus. What kind of narrative tapestry was the author able to weave out of the materials of history, climate change, and a young generation's growing frustration with the ecological and political state of the world? I was ready to discuss these and similar questions with a group of students in a seminar on Anglophone Literature in the Anthropocene during the summer semester 2023. Serendipitously, the son of an American colleague and long-time friend studied with Allegra Hyde at Oberlin College, where she is Assistant Professor of Creative Writing. He suggested that she might be willing to discuss her novel with a group of German students. When I issued the invitation to join us digitally for one session, she accepted. I interviewed Hyde, who is also the author of two short story collections – Of This New World (2016) and The Last Catastrophe (2023)– a few days later. The following text is the transcript of that conversation. It has been edited for readability.

Son yıllarda hem küresel hem de bölgesel dinamikler dolayısıyla ağırlıklı olarak göç konusunun uluslararası boyutunu konuşsak da maalesef Türkiye'de 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde yaşanan ve 11 ili etkileyen yıkıcı deprem felaketi, tüm ekonomik ve sosyal dinamiklerin yanı sıra felaketler sonrası ülke içi göç ve yer değiştirme konusunun da gündeme gelmesine ve tartışılmasına neden oldu. Depremler 1,8 milyonu göçmen olmak üzere bölgede yaşayan yaklaşık 16 milyon kişiyi etkilerken (Reliefweb, 2023), mevcut tahminler en az 2,7 milyon kişinin depremleri takiben ikamet yerlerini terk ettiklerini gösteriyor. Türkiye ile birlikte Suriye'yi de etkileyen depremlerde her iki ülkede yaklaşık 850 bin çocuğun da yerinden olduğu raporlanmış bulunuyor (UNICEF, 2023).

School readiness (SR) is a crucial predictor of future academic success, especially for disadvantaged children. However, research on school readiness in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), especially in Asia, is limited. This review aims to describe the school readiness of left-behind children (LBC) in China during early childhood, focusing on differences between LBC and non-LBC. The review used multiple databases with keywords such as school readiness, left-behind children in China and early childhood. The results confirmed the direct relationship between SR and parent-child separation.

BACKGROUND: Lynch syndrome is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer and with a broader spectrum of cancers, especially endometrial cancer. In 2011, our group reported long-term cancer outcomes (mean follow-up 55·7 months [SD 31·4]) for participants with Lynch syndrome enrolled into a randomised trial of daily aspirin versus placebo. This report completes the planned 10-year follow-up to allow a longer-term assessment of the effect of taking regular aspirin in this high-risk population. METHODS: In the double-blind, randomised CAPP2 trial, 861 patients from 43 international centres worldwide (707 [82%] from Europe, 112 [13%] from Australasia, 38 [4%] from Africa, and four [<1%] from The Americas) with Lynch syndrome were randomly assigned to receive 600 mg aspirin daily or placebo. Cancer outcomes were monitored for at least 10 years from recruitment with English, Finnish, and Welsh participants being monitored for up to 20 years. The primary endpoint was development of colorectal cancer. Analysis was by intention to treat and per protocol. The trial is registered with the ISRCTN registry, number ISRCTN59521990. FINDINGS: Between January, 1999, and March, 2005, 937 eligible patients with Lynch syndrome, mean age 45 years, commenced treatment, of whom 861 agreed to be randomly assigned to the aspirin group or placebo; 427 (50%) participants received aspirin and 434 (50%) placebo. Participants were followed for a mean of 10 years approximating 8500 person-years. 40 (9%) of 427 participants who received aspirin developed colorectal cancer compared with 58 (13%) of 434 who received placebo. Intention-to-treat Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed a significantly reduced hazard ratio (HR) of 0·65 (95% CI 0·43-0·97; p=0·035) for aspirin versus placebo. Negative binomial regression to account for multiple primary events gave an incidence rate ratio of 0·58 (0·39-0·87; p=0·0085). Per-protocol analyses restricted to 509 who achieved 2 years' intervention gave an HR of 0·56 (0·34-0·91; p=0·019) and an incidence rate ratio of 0·50 (0·31-0·82; p=0·0057). Non-colorectal Lynch syndrome cancers were reported in 36 participants who received aspirin and 36 participants who received placebo. Intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses showed no effect. For all Lynch syndrome cancers combined, the intention-to-treat analysis did not reach significance but per-protocol analysis showed significantly reduced overall risk for the aspirin group (HR=0·63, 0·43-0·92; p=0·018). Adverse events during the intervention phase between aspirin and placebo groups were similar, and no significant difference in compliance between intervention groups was observed for participants with complete intervention phase data; details reported previously. INTERPRETATION: The case for prevention of colorectal cancer with aspirin in Lynch syndrome is supported by our results.

Integration of Russian science into the world's scientific community is an important task for the government, universities, research organizations, and researchers. The ORCID identifier (iD) is an efficient tool for promoting researchers and their works, building researchers' personal brands and enhancing their reputation in the scientific community, as well as attributing authorship. Modern journals are increasingly requiring their contributors to provide an ORCID iD as a mandatory element of the author's information. Russian researchers, possibly due to the low awareness about the benefits of ORCID, make some typical mistakes when registering and completing their ORCID records. This article provides a brief analysis of such mistakes and shows 1) how to correctly present a researcher's published (preferred) name and how to indicate other names the researcher is known by; 2) what visibility modes ORCID provides to its users; 3) what data can be added to a researcher's ORCID iD for improved discoverability and recognition. An example of a published article with a wrong ORCID iD is presented; all the resulting negative outcomes for the journal are discussed. The conclusion is made about the need to raise the awareness among the research community about the importance of full and correct ORCID profiles. Editors of scientific journals should ensure that the authors' ORCID records are filled out correctly. ; Продвижение научных исследований российских ученых на международный уровень – задача, которую ставит перед исследователями не только государство и организации, в которых они работают, но сами ученые. Важным механизмом продвижения ученого и его исследований, создания личного (персонального) бренда ученого, повышения его репутации в научном обществе и идентификации его авторства является профиль ORCID. В настоящее время многие редакции журналов включают в требования к статье при подаче рукописи на рассмотрение для возможной публикации в качестве обязательного элемента данных об авторе идентификатор ORCID. Российские авторы, чаще всего не понимая смысла и значения для себя и собственной научной репутации этого идентификатора, допускают ошибки при регистрации и заполнении своих учетных записей в ORCID. В статье дается краткий анализ основных ошибок. Автором показано: 1) как правильно представить в профиле основное имя и где указать все вариации имен, которые когда-либо появлялись в публикациях автора; 2) какие режимы видимости информации предоставляет ORCID владельцам учетных записей; 3) какие данные, необходимые для повышения репутации ученого, можно заполнить в профиле ORCID. Также представлен пример публикации статьи с чужим ORCID и чем это грозит редакции журнала. Делается вывод о необходимости проведения разъяснительной работы среди ученых о важности использования и корректного заполнения авторских профилей ORCID. Редакциям научных журналов следует вести работу со своими авторами в этом направлении, а также более тщательно проверять корректность предоставленных авторами идентификаторов.

This article is a research-based contribution to a debate expounded by Fernando Álvarez-Uría in 2013 in the journal Papers. Revista de Sociologia on the subject of the role of women in the political struggle in Spain. It contrasts the role of women whose "habitus" was located in the institutionalized and democratic "political world" in the early twentieth century and the role of revolutionary women who, by means of direct action, created new spaces for struggle and recognition, and for other types of lived experience. ; Este artículo tiene como punto de partida el debate expuesto por Fernando Álvarez-Uría en la revista Papers. Revista de Sociología en 2013 acerca del papel de las mujeres en la lucha política en España. El artículo contrasta la actuación de mujeres cuyo "habitus" se encuentra en el "mundo político" institucionalizado y democrático en España a principios del siglo XX y las mujeres revolucionarias que, utilizando la acción directa, crearon nuevos espacios de reivindicación y otras experiencias vivenciales.

C. S. Lewis is not generally considered a political writer. However, the Boxen tales, written when Lewis was between the ages of six and fourteen, depict an adult world of political intrigue and stultifying small talk. This paper offers a reading of Boxen, alongside George Orwell's political writing and Lewis's own mature work, to argue that political commentary underpins much of Lewis's writing—a commentary that begins in the Boxen stories but does not end there. If the Boxen stories depict political scheming and negligent leadership, the Narnia Chronicles describe a paracosm founded on the Greek polis, or the ideal state. The two worlds complement one another, and both are important to a full appreciation of Lewis's political thought.
