Sound Art: Beyond Music, Between Categories

Over the past century, an art form has emerged that draws from the worlds of visual art and music. Sound art's roots can be found in the experimental work of Italian Futurism, Dada, and later the Fluxus group and the pioneering efforts of the American composer and artist John Cage. In the wake of this groundbreaking work, sound art began to mature into a movement, and artists explored the interactive possibilities of sound and in turn created entirely new modes of experiencing and engaging with art. In this volume, the complete story of sound art is told by one of the country's leading critics and scholars. The author traces the history of this form of art-highlighting the convergence of the indie world bands such as Sonic Youth with the art world-looking at the critical cross-pollination that has led to some of the most important and challenging art being produced today, including work by Christian Marclay, LaMonte Young, Janet Cardiff, Rodney Graham, and Laurie Anderson, among many others.

Abnormal Oscillatory Neural Coupling in Children with Language-Learning Problems and Auditory Processing Disorder

Abstract Children with language-learning problems (LLP) often demonstrate auditory processing deficits on tasks using nonlinguistic stimuli, which may indicate an underlying auditory processing disorder (APD) that leads to delayed language skills. However, recent studies of event-related potentials provide evidence that APD is the result of, rather than the cause of, language impairments in children with LLP. To further address these conflicting accounts, we examined event-related spectral perturbations (ERSPs) in 14 children with LLP and in 14 age-matched, normal hearing controls. ERSPs were computed from electroencephalogram (EEG) responses to nonlinguistic speech sounds in two different stimulus rate conditions. Results revealed that children with LLP have abnormal shifts in the characteristic operating frequencies (COFs) and phase-amplitude coupling of the alpha and beta EEG bands. Further, children with LLP show multiple COFs in the beta EEG band, which are not present in normal-hearing controls. These results suggest that insufficient oscillatory neural coupling may underlie the APD and language deficits present in children with LLP and might further be explained by interhemispheric asymmetries in this population.
Experiences and Perceptions of Barriers to Health Services for Elderly in Rural Namibia

We investigate barriers to accessing health facilities (e.g., transportation and cost of services) and health service delivery barriers (e.g., timeliness of services scheduling of appointments, language) that the literature suggest are operative. Semistructured interviews were utilized with respondents in three purposefully selected regional research sites in Namibia. All questions were translated into local languages. It is found that although many senior citizens appreciate the use of modern health care and are exempted from paying health care consultation fees, they still prefer to use traditional health medicine because of the long distance to health care facilities, which when they decide to travel translates into high transportation costs. Referrals to hospitals become very expensive. There is a need to consider the unique issues (extended family system) affecting access to health care for elderly people in Namibia to achieve equitable access to health care services.
Czech Action Art: Happenings, Actions, Events, Land Art, Body Art and Performance Art Behind the Iron Curtain

Czech action art - a medium similar to performance art that does not require an audience - emerged out of the political and social turmoil of the 1960s. This movement has received little critical attention, however, as the Iron Curtain prevented its dissemination to an international audience. Here theorist and art historian Pavlina Morganova gives this art scene its due, chronicling its inception and tracing its evolution through to the present. Morganova explains the various forms of action art, from the "actions" and "happenings" of the 1960s; to the actions of land art that encompass stones, trees, water, or fire; to recent displays of body art; to the actions of the latest generation of artists, who are using the principles of action art in contemporary postconceptual and participative art. Along the way, she introduces the most prominent Czech artists of each specific niche, including Milan Knizak, Zorka Saglova, Ivan Kafka, Petr Stembera, Karel Miler, Jiri Kovanda, and Katerina Seda, and demonstrates not only the changes in the art forms themselves but also the shifting roles of artists and spectators after World War II. With over one hundred illustrations, Czech Action Art introduces this heretofore overlooked but fascinating art form to a global readership.
The Impact of Student-Directed Projects in Introductory Statistics.

A multi-year study investigated the impact of incorporating student-directed discovery projects into introductory statistics courses. Pilot instructors at institutions across the United States taught statistics implementing student-directed projects with the help of a common set of instructional materials designed to facilitate such projects. Researchers measured the impact of these projects on student learning and on students’ attitudes and beliefs about statistics. Results of the quantitative analyses are shared, with subsequent discussion of their implications. Findings suggest that inclusion of student-directed research projects in introductory statistics can lead to greater statistics self-efficacy and improved statistical knowledge in specific domains. Additional analyses suggest that these student benefits may improve as their instructors gain more experience facilitating such projects.
Evaluation of the San Mateo County Children's Health Initiative: Third Annual Report

In early 2003 San Mateo County, California launched the Children's Health Initiative (CHI), to ensure that all children have access to comprehensive health insurance coverage. This third annual CHI evaluation report describes the demographic and health status characteristics of children enrolled in three public health insurance programs served by the CHI; how service use has changed over time; characteristics of high cost users of services and how they differ from other children; access to dental services and mental health services; the role of schools in outreach and enrollment; and the factors influencing employer decisions to offer insurance for dependents.

Mothers' reasons for refusing to give consent to HIV testing and the outcome in the children

Background. HIV/AIDS is one of the most common underlying causes of death in children between the ages of 3 months and 5 years in sub-Saharan Africa. In Limpopo Province, South Africa, the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programme introduced in early 2000 and paediatric ARV roll-out have had a poor uptake due to various factors. Objective. To establish the reasons why mothers decline HIV testing for their children. Methods. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the paediatric ward, Mankweng Hospital, Limpopo, for a period of 1 year (June 2009 - June 2010). All mothers who had declined HIV testing on their children were requested to participate. All the participants gave informed consent. Results. A total of 30 mothers participated. All women had attended antenatal care, 28 (93%) stated that their HIV results were negative and 2 (8%) had undergone PMTCT. Thereasons mothers refused HIV testing on their children included the following: did not want to be stressed with a positive result (67%), did not want to know their status (7%) and could not consent as their partners had declined tests on both baby and mother (7%); 20% had other reasons including fear of HIV stigma. The median age of the children was 13 months ( interquartile range 2 months - 10 years ) . Twenty-one (70%) of children were discharged home after treatment without HIV testing, five (16%) mothers signed refusal of hospital treatment, three (12%) started ARV after the mother reconsidered and signed consent, with good response to highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) and one child died after a month in the hospital. Conclusion. Fear of being stressed by a positive result was the main reason mothers refused an HIV test on their children. Better education about HIV transmission, prevention and the good response to HAART is needed to increase the uptake of HIV testing and antiretroviral therapy.
Knowledge and Awareness among interns and residents about medical law and negligence in a medical college in Vadodara - A Questionnaire Study.

Medicine is a noble profession but there is also growing anxiety both within the medical profession and in the community regarding increasing trends of complaints and lawsuits against doctors. Knowledge about medical ethics is as fundamental to the practice of medicine as clinical skills. The trainee period is a critical time for fostering ethical reasoning in students and hence a questionnaire based study was conducted among interns and postgraduate students of a medical college in Vadodara. The questionnaire consisted of questions pertaining to basic knowledge of medical law, record keeping, ethics, informed consent and medical negligence. A total of 300 students were enrolled for the study. Most of the students were able to answer questions about ethics and informed consent and basic on medical law. Knowledge about record keeping (p<0.001with C.I:68.68-73.9) and medical negligence (p<0.0241with C.I:61.35-64.35) was found to be significantly different between the classes of students. More efforts should be made to sensitize the students about law and liabilities related to their practice.
Practice and perception of self-management among diabetics in Taif , KSA : impact of medical factors

Background: Effective self-management of diabetes has long been acknowledged as essential in the maintenance of good glycemic control and prevention of diabetic complications. Objectives: To assess practice and perception of diabetic patients regarding self-Management in Taif region as well as to collaret specific medical characteristics associated with their practice. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted including diabetic patients, who attended the Family Medicine and Endocrinology clinics during regular day working hours (from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm) throughout January, 2011. They were recruited from four hospitals, belonging to Ministry of Defense and Aviation and Ministry of Health by stratified random sampling. An interview was conducted to determine subject's practice, regarding selfmanagement, and potential factors influencing this practice and these practices of selfmanagement using the SDSCA questionnaire. Results: A total of 386 respondents were interviewed in the current study. Their age ranged between 20 and 70 years with a mean of 49.03±13.05. More than half of them were males (56.7%) with a male to female ratio of 1.3:1. The duration of diabetes mellitus was more than 8 American Journal of Research Communication www.usa-journals.com Sabbah, et al., 2014: Vol 2(2) 110 ajrc.journal@gmail.com years in 46.1% of the participants. More than one-third of participated diabetic patients were aware of their type of diabetes (38.9%) while less than one-third of them were aware of Haemoglobin A1c (29.3%). The highest level of practice was observed regarding compliance with medication (94.7%), while the lowest level of practice was detected regarding blood glucose testing (22.4%). Their practice regarding specific diabetic diet, practicing physical exercise and foot care were 41.7%, 41.2% and 53.4% respectively. Conclusion: This study reflects the poor practice about the management plan of diabetic care particularly the non-pharmacological component of the plan. As it has been observed that compliance is better with medical aspects of the regimen (e.g. medications) than with life style aspects of the regimen (diet and physical exercise).
A Learner-Centered Teaching Model Integrating Undergraduate Research and Service Learning

Learner-centered teaching is an approach that engages students through active learning strategies including service learning, problem solving exercises, collaboration, undergraduate research and capstone experiences. These strategies have been shown to improve critical thinking skills, retention and postgraduate success. This article introduces a successful learner-centered approach to teaching undergraduate nutrition students through an integrated undergraduate research and service learning (UR-SL) project. Students in a sports nutrition course participated as small groups in a semester-long service learning project culminating in a research-based fitness trail proposal. At the end of the project, 63 of the 77 students in the class (82%) completed a brief survey on their project experiences. The majority of students reported their project planning, team building, interpersonal communication and professional proposal skills were enhanced through this experience. On a scale of 1-7 (7=incredibly important), students rated the importance of real-life applications in college coursework as 6.45 ± 0.80 and interacting with a peer team as 5.61 ± 1.38. Students recognized that solving problems in a group is an effective way to learn and that group decisions are often better than individual decisions. The majority (93%) of students participating in this learner-centered project recommend this UR-SL activity to their peers.
The Cult of the Roman Emperor before and after Christianity

This paper is concerned with a complete set of rituals and certain connected ideas, namely the Roman emperor-cult, that had survived the change of religion from Roman religion to Christianity. The rituals endure, even while their mythological basis is perishing. The emperor-cult includes the rituals and symbols which surround the Roman emperor and clearly demonstrate that he is more than an ordinary human.
Evaluation of ELISA kits for brucellosis in naturally infected Indian cattle population by latent class analysis

Brucellosis is endemic in India and the disease is confirmed by various laboratory tests. Among the tests available, ELISA offers several advantages such as ease, cost effectiveness and possibilities of automation for screening large number of serum samples at any given period of time. This study was performed to evaluate 5 commercially available indirect ELISA kits and 1 competitive ELISA kit in naturally infected cattle population in India. Six organized cattle herds located in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Odisha were selected. Sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of the tests were estimated in absence of gold standard using latent class analysis. Nearly perfect Sp was achieved by the CEDI test 99.8% (95%; credibility posterior interval (CPI) = 98.9-100%), Chekit test 99.4% (95%; CPI = 98.3-99.9%) and Svanova test 99.2% (95%; CPI = 99.2-99.9%). Se of the 5 indirect ELISA was ranged between 75.0 and 77.3%. However, a Se of 56.1% (95%; CPI= 36.1-75.1%) and Sp of 91.7% (95%; CPI = 88.7- 94.2%) were recorded for cELISA.
PERBANDINGAN METODE SINTESIS BENZENA DAN ABSORPSI CO2 UNTUK PENANGGALAN RADIOISOTOP 14C

Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai penentuan umur sampel karbon menggunakan metode absorpsi CO2. Metode ini merupakan alternatif terhadap metode sintesis benzena yang selama ini digunakan. Penerapan metode ini bertujuan untuk mendukung berbagai penelitian hidrologi khususnya penelitian umur air tanah menggunakan radioisotop alam 14C. Hasil-hasil yang diperoleh dari metode absorpsi CO2 kemudian dibandingkan dengan hasil-hasil metode sintesis benzena yang meliputi cacahan latar belakang, cacahan standar, aktivitas dan batas umur, hasil umur, dan biaya bahan serta komponen yang terlibat dalam analisis. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dibandingkan dengan metode sintesis benzena, preparasi sampel menggunakan metode absorpsi CO2 lebih sederhana, ekonomis dan praktis. Penggunaan metode absorpsi CO2 dapat menghemat biaya bahan hingga 75 %. Perbedaan yang nyata antara metode absorpsi CO2 dan sintesis benzena adalah kemampuan menentukan umur maksimum yang masing-masing menghasilkan 33.310 tahun dan 47.533 tahun. Sedangkan rata-rata hasil umur, baik dengan metode sintesis benzene maupun absorpsi CO2 untuk sampel yang sama hasilnya relatif sama.
Modulación de la proteostasis celular por el inhibidor Ala-Ala-Phe- clorometilcetona

Ala-Ala-Phe-chloromethylketone (AAF-cmk) is a serine protease inhibitor that inhibits tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPPII), an enzyme that has been suggested to take up some proteasome functions when its activity is compromised. Similarly to proteasome inhibitors, AAF-cmk induces the accumulation of polyubiquitylated proteins including the formation of aggresome-like structures. This response is cell-dependent but it is not due to the inhibition of TPPII. We have proposed a working model where AAF-cmk could be acting upstream the proteasome by increasing the workload of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), which may result in a saturation of the proteasome in cells with a compromised activity of this degradative pathway. One of the aforementioned candidates could be Hsp90. Using the geldanamycin analog 17-AAG we showed that although Hsp90 is not a target of AAF-cmk, its inhibition leads to similar effects as those obtained with AAF-cmk. Given that the deubiquitylating activity is also upregulated in some cells with low proteasomal activity, and that its inhibition may result in an increase in the workload of the UPS, we decided to test whether AAF-cmk was affecting the activity of this group of enzymes. We have identified some activities that are inhibited by AAF-cmk such as USP7, USP14 and partially USP10. Taking into account that AAF-cmk has selective toxicity for some tumor cell lines, we evaluated the effect of the inhibitor on proteotoxic stress. Our results showed differences in the induction of cellular stress in two oteosarcoma cell lines correlating with agressome formation. Furthermore, we have observed that AAF-cmk also induces alterations on the autophagy pathway, Atg4B being another of its targets. In relation with new therapeutic targets it is important to analyze the synergism between the new drug and others which are already available. We have analyzed the effect of AAF-cmk in combination with the PI3K inhibitor, LY294002. The results showed an induction of both cell cycle arrest and cell death after AAF-cmk treatment, an effect that was enhanced by the combination of both inhibitors.
Influencia del tratamiento térmico y del trabajo en frío en el comportamiento mecánico de láminas de acero ASTM A-569

En este trabajo se presenta un estudio sobre la influencia de los tratamientos termicos y el trabajo en frio en el comportamiento de las propiedades mecanicas del acero ASTM A-569, tomando en cuenta la direccion de laminacion. La respuesta del acero a las condiciones de trabajo fue medida por medio de ensayos de traccion y estudios de microscopia optica. Se encontro que el material en su condicion original posee mayor resistencia y ductilidad en comparacion con el material tratado termicamente. Por otra parte, el material tanto tratado termicamente como en estado de entrega presento mayor resistencia en sentido perpendicular a la direccion de laminacion, debido al cambio de direccion del movimiento de dislocaciones asociado al efecto Bauschinger. Para el material trabajado en frio, la diferencia en las propiedades mecanicas, relacionada con la orientacion de la laminacion, disminuyo con el incremento del trabajo en frio
