My City, My Revolution
"But the city was there, close to me, looking over my shoulder, holding up the prism through which I understood the worldâŠ" (Ahdaf Soueif).
"My City, My Revolution" is a performance that explores a womanâs fractured journey where the act of walking triggers the multiple narratives engrained in the fabric of a city... where a city becomes the site of displacement and alternative revolutions. In a multilayered form of storytelling that synthesizes physical performance, film and spoken text, "My City, My Revolution" weaves autobiographical, historical and political narratives that stem from the (âreal lifeâ) experience of an Egyptian woman living a revolution that redefines her relationship to two cities: London and Cairo. Parallel stories unfold and juxtapose, speaking of home, the city, longing and belonging, and the melancholic tension of a dual existence, where urban, psychological and cultural geographies are doubled and juxtaposed.
The performance is based on the text âCairo: My City, My Revolutionâ by Nesreen Hussein, published in the edited collection Performance and the Global City, edited by Kim Solga and D.J. Hopkins (Palgrave 2013).
The performance is conceived and written by: Nesreen Hussein. (Egypt/UK)
Performed by: Vanio Papadelli (Greece/UK) and Nesreen Hussein.
Filmmaker/Editor: Mohamed Goely. (Egypt).
Sound Designer: Michael Picknett. (UK).

The effect of prosthetic margin location on caries susceptibility. A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background The prosthetic margin location relevant to the free gingival margin may influence the incidence of secondary caries due to the differences that exist between the micro-environment within the gingival crevice compared to the rest of the oral environment.Objective The purpose of this study was to systematically review the effect of prosthetic margin placement on caries susceptibility of abutment teeth.Method Two independent authors identified cohort studies using MEDLINE, EMBASE, CDSR, CENTRAL, Google Scholar and Scopus through March 2012. Reference lists were also scanned. Included studies had to report on caries incidence with regard to location of prosthetic margins, with a minimum follow-up period of two years.Results A total of 5,541 references were identified and, after application of the inclusion criteria, 22 studies were included in the systematic review. Random-effects meta-analysis could be made in two studies, in which secondary caries incidence did not differ between margins placed subgingivally compared to equi- or supragingivally placed margins for a follow-up period up to ten years. Indications were found of a possible lower secondary caries rate at 15 years of follow up, based on one study.Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis failed to detect a significantly different secondary caries rate of subgingivally located prosthetic margins in the short to mid-term (â€10 years). Due to the small number and the limitations of the included studies the results do not provide conclusive evidence as to the effect of prosthetic margin placement on the incidence of secondary caries
