Ne De Fide Presumant Disputare: Legal Regulations of Interreligious Debate and Disputation in the Middle Ages
Authors: Tolan John
Published: June 2018

On March 4th, 1233, in his bull Sufficere debuerat perfidie Iudeorum, Pope Gregory IX complains to the bishops and archbishops of Germany of the many “perfidies” of the German Jews, including their “blasphemies” against the Christian religion, which, he fears, may have an ill effect on Christians, particularly converts from Judaism. He orders the bishops to prohibit Jews from presuming to dispute with Christians and to prevent Christians from participating in such disputations through ecclesiastical censure.

Gregory clearly thought that it was dangerous to allow informal discussions or debates about religion between Jews and Christian laymen. At the same time, he was instrumental in the promotion of the two new mendicant orders and in the encouragement of their missionary efforts towards Jews (and to a lesser extent Muslims). Over the course of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the Dominicans in particular became specialists of religious disputation. Laymen were increasingly discouraged or prohibited from engaging in such disputation by both ecclesiastical and royal legislation.

This article will examine several key texts involving the dangers of interreligious debate and discussion in the Middle Ages from the perspective of Christian authorities (ecclesiastical, royal or other). Various authors, from Tertullian to Joinville, expressed misgiving about the effects such debate could have on Christian participants and bystanders, and various medieval legal texts, civil and canon, sought to limit or prohibit such debate.
The Rabbi and the Mancebo: Arévalo and the Location of Affinities in the Fifteenth Century
Authors: Gutwirth Eleazar
Published: June 2018

The background to this paper is the difference between occasionally atemporal and multinational approaches and local, historical approaches to religious ideas and encounters. The chosen example is that of two authors from one town (Arévalo) and one historical moment (fifteenth-century Castile). The article attempts firstly to identify stylistic, rhetorical, and literary elements in the historiographic traditions about the reputation of the town. Secondly it points to the changes in the status of the town in the late Middle Ages that affected Christians, Muslims, and Jews. Thirdly, after identifying certain tendencies in the writings of the two authors from the town, one Muslim (known as the Mancebo de Arévalo) and the other Jewish, Rabbi Yosef ibn Ṣaddiq de Arévalo, it searches for affinities and common elements in their attitudes.

Repercusiones de la Unión Ibérica en los confines de la América Portuguesa: discusiones en torno a los Tratados de Límites del siglo XVIII
Authors: Álvarez Iglesias Rubén
Published: June 2018

En el presente artículo pretendemos hacer un breve recorrido por la Historia de la expansión portuguesa en América, para explicar cómo durante algo más de dos siglos se obvió y traspasó el meridiano fijado por el Tratado de Tordesillas de 1494. Del mismo modo, queremos explicar cómo este proceso de conquista y colonización tuvo su reflejo en la tratadística diplomática hispano-portuguesa, alcanzando su cenit en el Tratado de Madrid de 1750. Sería este tratado el que por primera vez fijase unos límites que demarcarían un territorio muy similar al del actual Brasil, por lo que podemos considerarlo como un punto de inflexión en la Historia de la formación territorial del gigante latinoamericano.

Abstract: Postpartum depression can reach up to 15% of pregnant women in developed countries, 25% in underdeveloped countries and up to 40% throughout the perinatal period. Depressive mothers interact less with their children, they show less love and affection, and this may have an impact on the lives of these infants in the future. Babies who lived in this context had problems with language acquisition, cognitive impairment, delay in achieving developmental milestones, attachment insecure, low self-esteem. It is essential that the diagnosis of depression be made as early as possible so that therapeutic and preventive measures are implemented in a timely manner in order to provide healthy child growth and ensure the good mental health of these mothers.Keywords: Postpartum depression; childish behaviour; mother-child relationship; diagnosis; pharmacological treatment; combination therapy;

Authors: Bellah Jeremy , Chen Liang , Zimmer Chris
Published: June 2018

BPM software is the result of a need to have easy to use software that supports the teaching of project management at both the undergraduate and graduate levels of instruction. Existing project management software offerings are not conducive to learning project management techniques as specified in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). This case details the development of the software and describes its use in real world projects. Additionally, it presents empirical evidence that students find the software easy to use and that it enhances their understanding of project management concepts.
Linear Penetration as a Surrogate Measure for Volumetric Wear in TKR Tibial Inserts
Authors: Rad Elmira M. , Laurent Michel P. , Knowlton Christopher B. , Lundberg Hannah J. , Pourzal Robin R. , Wimmer Markus A.
Published: June 2018

Wear of the polyethylene tibial insert remains a concern in total knee replacement (TKR) because the debris generated can lead to osteolysis and implant loosening. The purpose of this study was to determine if linear penetration is an accurate surrogate for volume loss due to creep and wear in TKR. The study was conducted on a group of 83 retrieved tibial inserts of a contemporary cruciate-retaining TKR design. Insert volume loss was determined with a recently developed and validated method combining metrology with an autonomous mathematical reconstruction algorithm. Penetration was determined in two ways: using an autonomous mathematical reconstruction (PAMR) and from minimum insert thickness measurements using a dial indicator (Pdial). Volume loss correlated strongly to PAMR (R2 = 0.39 − 0.57, p<0.0001) and Pdial (R2 = 0.22 − 0.46, p<0.0001), the correlation markedly improving with the removal of just two or three outliers. However, penetration was only a fair predictor of volume loss for individual tibial inserts, yielding 95 % prediction interval bands of ± 42.5 mm3 to ± 55 mm3. Multiplying penetration by a measure of wear scar surface area (e.g., wear scar medial-lateral width and anterior-posterior length) led to a better predictor variable for volume loss. More complex regression models that take into account the location of the penetration maximum and insert size improved volume loss prediction but only marginally if outliers, such as those stemming from edge locations, are avoided. The obtained prediction intervals apply only to the knee design evaluated here.

Authors: Bronušienė Simona
Published: June 2018

From the 17 August 2015 in the EU member states, except Denmark, UK and Ireland, there is applied regulation No 650/2012, which establishes legal rules on jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of decisions and acceptance and enforcement of authentic instruments and on the creation of a European Certificate of Succession in the matters of intercountry succession. As the substantive succession law of the EU member states still holds a lot of differences, in the cases of intercocuntry succession it becomes very important to determine applicable law not only when the succession is already opened but also before it, when the testator is still alive and plans its estate post mortem. In the article there are overviewed the legal rules on applicable law before the application of regulation No 650/2012 and the changes brought by regulation, such as the unity of the succession, common connecting factor – last habitual residence of de cujus and possibility for testator to choose applicable law (profesio iuris). Also in the article there is analized the content of the applicable law, its coherance with other related matters and the legal instruments regulating them and also the newest practice of CJEU. The purpose of this article is to reveal the changes in determining the applicable law in intercountry succession cases and its benefits and challanges for interested parties.

Abstract Persistent apical periodontitis (AP) is a situation involving an inflammatory and immune response caused mainly by anaerobic polymicrobial infection of the root canal system and the outcome and follow-up of the root canal treatment has been reported as intimately related to host response. The apical periodontitis repair might be associated with genetic polymorphisms. This study aimed to evaluate the association between HIF1A genetic polymorphisms (rs2301113 and rs2057482) with PAP in Brazilian patients. Subjects with at least 1 year of follow-up after root canal therapy (RCT) were recalled. Sixty-four subjects with signs/symptoms of PAP and 84 subjects with root canal-treated teeth exhibiting healthy perirradicular tissues (healed) were included. Genomic DNA was extracted from saliva and used for HIF1A genotyping by real-time PCR. Genotype and allele frequencies were compared by c2 or Fisher’s exact tests and odds ratio was implemented, using Epi Info 3.5.2. All tests were performed with an established alpha of 0.05. There was no association between allele and genotype distribution for HIF1As polymorphisms and PAP (p>0.05). The genetic polymorphisms in HIF1A were not associated with persistent apical periodontitis.
A model with a solution algorithm for the improvement of an existing bikeway network
Authors: Chen Chun-Ying , Yan Shangyao , Tseng Huan-Tuan
Published: June 2018

Currently, although there are bikeway networks in many cities in Taiwan, they do not effectively meet expectations. Parts of the existing bikeway network need to be reconstructed or changed to make improvements. In this study, a network flow technique and mathematical programming method are used to construct a bikeway network improvement model for an existing bikeway network system. The objective of the model is to minimise the cyclists’ travel time subject to the related operating constraints. The proposed model is formulated as a mixed-integer multiple-commodity network flow problem. A solution algorithm is also developed to efficiently solve the proposed model for large-scale real-world problems. To test how well the model and the solution algorithm can be applied in the real world, a case study with several problem instances randomly generated based on real parameters for Taipei City is carried out. The test results show the effectiveness of the proposed model and solution algorithm.
Investigation of the Differences of Immunological Characteristics of Mecsina Hemostopper®, Ankaferd Blood Stopper® and Tranexamic Acid Used as Haemostatic Agents with Cell Culture Study
Authors: Tümer Mehmet Kemal , Çiçek Mustafa
Published: June 2018

Objective: Hemorrhagic complications may develop in many branches
of medicine and dentistry after or during the treatment independently of the
extent of the procedure performed. Various biomaterials have been used in the
medical and dental practice procedures before and after surgical procedures.
The aim of this study was to compare the immunological efficacies and effects
of Ankaferd Blood Stopper, Tranexamic acid used as anti-hemorrhagic agents and
Mecsina Blood Stopper, a new anti-hemorrhagic agent.Method: The immortalized HUVEC (Human Umbilical Vein
Endothelial Cell) cell lines, which are human umbilical cord cells and used in
many studies on coagulation and formation of fibrin, were commercially
purchased for the study. The cells, 5000 cells per flask for each drug, were
distributed into the 5 groups (ankaferd, Tranexamic acid, mecsina, distilled
water-administered negative and control without any administration). Results: According to the data we obtained, TNF alpha (Tumor Necrosis
Factor
Alpha) levels were found to be lower in the cells, to which mecsina was
administered at concentrations of 1: 2 and 1:10, than other drug groups
(p<0,05). There was a significant increase in IL-1B (Interleukin 1B) and IL6
(Interleukin 6) levels in all drug administrations at both concentrations of 1:
2 and 1: 10 compared to the control group (p <0,05).   While there was no significant increase in
TNF alpha levels in all drug administrations at a concentration of 1: 2 (p
<0,05), there was no significant correlation in mecsina administration at a
concentration of 1:10 (p> 0,05), but a significant increase was found in
tranexamic acid (TA) and ankaferd administrations (p <0.05).

Conclusion: In conclusion, it has been
observed that different anti-hemorrhagic agents administered at different
concentrations in HUVEC cell groups produced a significant increase in intracellular
cytokine levels.  Considering the
results, we can say that MH (Mecsina Hemostopper) administration is a more
effective anti-hemorrhagic agent than administrations of ABS (Ankaferd Blood
Stoper) and especially TA (Tranexamic Acid).

An intraspecific hybrid breeding program involving six crosses, Palam Sumool (PS) × Palam Priya, PS × Pb-89, PS × Azad P-1, PS × Palam Triloki and VRPMR10 × Sugar Giant, Green Pearl × DPP-9411 was initiated in 2006 onwards followed by pedigree selection, resulted in isolation of 45 genotypes with desirable attributes. These progenies along with five recommended varieties were evaluated during 2014-15 to assess degree of divergence. A considerable genetic diversity was observed among genotypes, dispersed in 18 diverse clusters. Of these, 17 were monogenotypic while cluster I had maximum genotypes. Internodal length contributed maximum towards total genetic divergence followed by nodes per plant, protein content and average pod weight. Superior performing genotypes viz., ‘DPP-2011-SP-7’, ‘DPP-2011-SP-17’, and ‘DPP-2011-SP-24’ from cluster I and ‘DPP-2011-SP-6’, ‘DPP-2011-SP-22’ ‘DPPMR-09-1’, ‘DPPMR-09-2’, ‘DPP-2011-SN-5’ and ‘Palam Triloki’ from monogenotypic clusters offer promise for their direct use as varieties and as potential parents in future breeding programmes.

Published: June 2018

In child rehabilitation, there is a need for assessment tools able to detect even small deficits and subtle changes in order toplan and verify the rehabilitative programme. However, as current methods are mainly based on optoelectronic expensiveand non-portable devices, they tend to lack practicality and/or reliability and good validation. We present two cases ofchildren with a specific learning disorder involving writing skills; both received treatment to improve their motor andvisuomotor skills involved in the act of writing. In addition to neuropsychological testing, the assessment included a new noninvasive method, based on quantitative videoanalysis of arm movement during a maze task; moreover, parent and teacherwere interviewed. The low-cost method seems promising, but it seems to measure something different from the perceptionof teachers and parents and from commonly used neuropsychological tests.Keywords: Rehabilitation, child, visuomotor skills, neuropsychological tests.

No atual contexto de combate à corrupção, ponderando que o profissional de contabilidade é considerado como um ator chave no combate à fraude e à corrupção (TAYLOR; THOMAS, 2012), buscou-se avaliar os estágios de desenvolvimento de estudos acadêmicos internacionais e nacionais (estado da arte) sobre a possibilidade de denúncia, como mecanismo de combate à fraude e à corrupção, por profissional de contabilidade. Para tanto, se utilizou de revisão de literatura para a coleta de dados no Portal Capes e na base SPELL, buscando-se pelos termos “denunciante” e “contador” e utilizando-se análise comparativa para avaliação. Os resultados indicaram que a discussão, iniciada há quase 30 anos atrás no âmbito internacional, se desenvolveu em um processo evolutivo, transpassando várias questões do tema enquanto que os trabalhos nacionais se apresentaram incipientes, indicando oportunidade para estudos mais aprofundados e abrangentes, sendo destacados os seguintes pontos: a atuação das representações de classe; o desenvolvimento legal e dos mecanismos de proteção ao denunciante; o fortalecimento de conceitos éticos na formação profissional, a diferença entre gêneros, assim como, o desenvolvimento dos conceitos de sigilo e confidencialidade. Este estudo mostra-se relevante ao discutir o papel da contabilidade no combate à corrupção, com especial ênfase na figura do profissional contábil em relação à denúncia sobre fraude e corrupção. As conclusões indicam oportunidade para discussões necessárias ao desenvolvimento teórico e prático do campo quanto à possibilidade de denúncia por profissionais de contabilidade, tais como a abrangência do conceito de sigilo e confidencialidade.Palavras-Chave: Confidencialidade.

Published: June 2018

O estudo objetiva identificar os efeitos dos accruals discricionários e das operações de hedge sobre o valor das empresas brasileiras, medido pela proxy Q de Tobin. Para tanto, realizou-se pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa e análise documental. A amostra correspondeu a 234 empresas brasileiras não financeiras no período de 2011 a 2013. Para a análise foram empregadas técnicas estatísticas como regressão de dados em painel. Os achados confirmam a literatura de que os accruals são negativamente relacionados com o valor das empresas e as operações de hedge são positivamente relacionadas com o valor das empresas no cenário brasileiro. Logo, tem-se que o comportamento oportunista dos gestores com o objetivo de auferir benefícios próprios acaba sendo percebido pelo mercado, que por sua vez, penaliza a empresa com a redução no valor de suas ações. Por outro lado, o uso de derivativos de hedge pelas organizações leva o mercado à percepção de menor risco da empresa, contribuindo para o aumento do seu valor. Desta forma, tais resultados possuem potencial contributivo para diversos usuários da informação, entre eles acadêmicos, investidores e, sobretudo, gestores, que passam a conhecer os efeitos dos accrualss discricionários e das operações de hedge sobre o valor das empresas, sendo isto primordial para manter as organizações que administram perenes no atual ambiente competitivo, passando a realizar ações que tragam credibilidade e relativa segurança aos investidores que, por consequência, maximizarão o valor da empresa no mercado acionário.Palavras-chave: Accruals discricionários.

O objetivo do artigo é analisar a percepção de estudantes e egressos de Ciências Contábeis sobre a adesão às normas internacionais de contabilidade no padrão IFRS pelas empresas brasileiras. A coleta dos dados foi realizada via questionário contendo 16 perguntas fechadas e uma pergunta aberta, enviada via ferramenta google forms. A amostra da pesquisa é composta por 34 respondentes, estudantes da graduação e egressos de Ciências Contábeis do Alto Vale do Itajaí (SC). De forma geral, os resultados indicaram que, em relação ao conhecimento das IFRS é percebido como parcial e obtido em cursos de atualização e aperfeiçoamento. Quanto aos impactos da adoção das IFRS, as normas introduziram conceitos relevantes e melhoram a informação contábil produzida. Contudo, foram manifestadas dificuldades de aprendizado e de incorporação das novas práticas no exercício cotidiano da atividade contábil. Quanto à atuação profissional, observou-se uma clara predisposição em indicar a valorização da categoria após a adoção do novo padrão normativo, mas isto não se refletiu em aumento de honorários. O estudo contribui com subsídios para reflexões sobre a necessidade da manutenção de treinamentos e capacitações pelas instituições formadoras e de classe, visando a efetiva melhoria desejada na informação contábil a partir do padrão internacional.Palavras-chave: Adesão às IFRS.

THE EFFECTIVE ROLE OF INDIAN TEXTS IN MANAGEMENT STUDIES
Authors: Nidhi Kaushal  , Sanjit Mishra
Published: June 2018

Management studies have been always seen as a discipline based on theories of the western world. It has a prominent place in all kind of modern education. Since it has been explored so much and there are numerous philosophies and researches available on the topics related to the management, but available Indian texts and philosophies by great scholars have dominance over modern theories and practices. They have written the lessons for the management of complexities in life and business. Those rules and values have been practiced since the ancient times and proved to be successful and fruitful in every aspect. Even the modern entrepreneurs have a strong belief over them and they have accepted as the best and more useful alternative over modern concepts of studies. Thirukkural is one of such ancient text on wisdom and ethics. The scholars from the contemporary fields admitted and respected the Indian texts because the wisdom and intellectually never shades due to changes and advancement. It has a bright shine for its existence ever. The current paper in the form of a review article is anattempt to highlight this magnanimity in the contemporary world of management.
The kinetics of the solidification of highly supersaturated solutions of palmitic acid in oleic acid: A comparison between two models
Authors: Gallegos-Infante Alberto , Rico-Martinez Ramiro
Published: June 2018

The crystallization of fatty acids is very important in industrial
applications and biological systems. A comparison between theoretical models
and experimental data helps in clarifying mechanistic aspects of these
systems. In this contribution, we compare the performance of two models in
fitting data from the crystallization of supersaturated solutions of
palmitic acid in oleic acid. One of themodels was developed by Avrami and
the other is based on considering diffusion as limiting (the D-model). The
D-model fitted the data better than the Avrami model in all cases. The
D-model has a low value of the regression coefficient (r2, lower than
0.9) in only three cases. For these points, the thermodynamic force was
smaller. Differences in the parameter n (an index of dimensionality) were
observed; these differences indicate that clusters were present previous to
the crystallization process. Furthermore, there appears to be a difference
in the mechanism of crystallization of pure solutions of palmitic acid and
solutions with a small fraction of oleic acid. Thus, one is lead to the
conclusion that the rate of crystallization of fatty acids at high
concentrations is limited by diffusion.

The absorption spectra of monohydroxybenzene (Fen), 1,3-dihydroxybenzene
(Rez), 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (Hi), 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene (Pg) and
1,3,5-trihydroxy-benzene (Fg) in aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid
with different values of the Hammett acidity function(H0) have two
absorption bands in the region between 190-220 nm and 260-290 nm. This
behavior is similar in another mineral acids (H2SO4, H3PO4, HClO4). The
absorbance decreases with increasing of acidity (with decreasing of H0
values) because of O-protonation. The absorption maxima shift to longer
wave-lengths, and the graphic dependence of the absorption of the second

the different effect of the acid on the form the protonation of the
investigated hydroxybenzenes. The potonation constants of the
hydroxybenzenes were calculated: pKFen=-1.95; pKRez=-2.40; pKHi= -1.93;
pKPg=-2.95; pKFg=-1.83.

Employing tools of combinatorial chemistry, an original methodological approach
has been developed and applied for the design and synthesis of a
small library of peptide-like compounds, prospective growth hormone (GH)
secretagogues. For this purpose seven building blocks of tBoc- and
Fmoc-protected amino acids was used. In this way, a small, tripeptoid
library on polyethylene glycolmonomethyl ether 5000 (PEG 5000) as a soluble
support was obtained. The library was screened by a new, simple system,
based on polyclonal rabbit antiserum raised against "GH secretagogue pharmacophore" of a known growth hormone secretagogue GHRP-6 (Hexarelin?) and
the most promising GH secretagogue candidate was selected.

Published: June 2018

In the model for the ionization energies of the C2s-electrons in saturated
hydrocarbons, put forward by Heilbronner et al., the energy levels are
calculated as eigenvalues of the line graph of the hydrogen-filled
molecular graph. It is now shown that in the case of alkanes, these energy
levels are related to the Laplacian eigenvalues of the molecular graph. A
few rules are formulated, relating these ionization energies with molecular
structure.

The method of anodic linear sweep voltammetry (ALSV) has been used to
determine the content of Zn and Cd (up to 4% w/w) in eutectic type binary
alloys with Sn. The alloy samples were prepared by casting. The effect of
the type and the pH of the electrolyte, as well as of the sweep-rate on the
dissolution of Zn and Cd from the alloy during an anodic potentinal-sweep
was investigated. It was shown that ALSV is sensitive to low concentrations
of both Zn and Cd in the investigated alloys, as well-defined peaks of the
dissolution of the two metals were recorded before the massive dissolution
of Sn commenced. Well-defined linear dependencies between the quantities of
electricity under the dissolution peaks of Zn (QZn) or Cd (QCd) and the
respective contents of the metals in the alloys were found. Intercepts at
the abscissa were found in both investigated systems indicating the
formation of solid solutions from which neither Zn norCd could be eluted. In
both alloys, the smallest amount of the alloying component which could be
detected was 0.25% (w/w). The application of the ALSV method has several
advantages over other analytical methods: it is non-destructive as the
dissolution involves only a very thin layer of the alloy; it requires simple
and cheap instrumentation; it is fast and relatively sensitive. These make
it suitable for routine analysis.
Spectrophotometric study of the protonation processes of some indole derivatives in sulfuric acid
Authors: Andonovski Blagoja , Stojkovic Goran
Published: June 2018

The protonation of 3-methylindole, D-tryptophan, 3-formylindole, 3-acetylindole and indolyl-2-carboxylic acid in sulfuric acid media was studied by UV
spectroscopy. The measurement of the absorbance at four selected
wavelengths enabled the calculation of the corresponding molar
absorptivities. The results were used to calculate the pKa value of the
protonated form of the indole derivatives by the Hammett Method. The Hammett
postulate (the slope of the plot log [c(BH+)/c(B)]vs. H should be equal to
1) was tested. The dissociation constants and solvent parameter m* were also
obtained by applying the Excess Acidity Method. The position of the
additional protons in the protonated compounds is discussed.

The interaction of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) with diluents and its
self-association have been investigated. The corresponding equilibrium
constants were determined and used to calculate the concentration of TBP
monomer. The calculated TBP monomer concentrations correspond to the TBP
activities published in the literature.
The current distribution in an electrochemical cell. Part V: The determination of the depth of the current line penetration between the edges of the electrodes and the side walls of the cell
Authors: Popov Konstantin , Pesic Slavisa , Kostic Tanja
Published: June 2018

A method for the calculation of the depth of the current line penetration
between the edges of the electrodes and the side walls of the cell in a cell
with plane parallel electrode arrangement is proposed. The method is
verified by the calculation of the polarization curves for the cells in
which the electrode edges do not touch the side walls of the cell. The
agreement between the calculated and the measured values was fair.

Published: June 2018

Objectives:

The fitting of aligners on anchorage teeth is a crucial factor in clear aligner orthodontics. The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the fitting of two aligner systems, Invisalign and CA-Clear Aligner, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Materials and Methods:

Passive aligners (Invisalign and CA-Clear Aligner) were adapted on resin casts obtained by stereolithography (STL) files of a patient, and then sectioned buccolingually. Upper and lower central incisors, upper and lower first premolars, and upper and lower first molars were the regions analyzed. Representative microphotographs of sections were taken with a scanning electron microscope (SEM); a total of 160 micrometric measurements were obtained and analyzed with ANOVA tests.

Results:

Invisalign provided an overall better fit on lower incisors (F = 11.48, P = .0095) and on lower molars (F = 19.93, P = .0012). Considering the different regions, Invisalign provided better fit at the gingival edge of the buccal aspect on lower incisors (F = 11.33, P = 0.0056) and at the gingival edge of the lingual aspect on upper premolars (F =5.34, P = 0.0047). On the upper molars, Invisalign provided better fit at the gingival edge of the buccal aspect, while CA-Clear Aligner provided better fit at the buccal maximum convexity, on the buccal cusp, on the occlusal groove and at the palatal cusp. On lower molars, Invisalign showed a more accurate fit at the buccal aspect points.

Conclusions:

Invisalign and CA-Clear Aligner exhibited comparable fit on anchorage teeth. Invisalign provided better fit at the gingival edges of aligners, while the CA-Clear Aligner provided better fit on complex occlusal surfaces.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate quality of recovery from general anesthesia in horses after induction with propofol and ketamine versus midazolam and ketamine.

DESIGN Prospective randomized crossover study.

ANIMALS 6 healthy adult horses.

PROCEDURES Horses were premedicated with xylazine (1.0 mg/kg [0.45 mg/lb], IV), and general anesthesia was induced with midazolam (0.1 mg/kg [0.045 mg/lb], IV) or propofol (0.5 mg/kg [0.23 mg/lb], IV), followed by ketamine (3.0 mg/kg [1.36 mg/lb], IV). Horses were endotracheally intubated, and anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane. After 60 minutes, horses were given romifidine (0.02 mg/kg [0.009 mg/lb], IV) and allowed to recover unassisted. Times to first movement, sternal recumbency, and standing and the number of attempts to stand were recorded. Plasma concentrations of propofol or midazolam were measured following induction and immediately before recovery. Recovery quality was scored by 3 graders with a recovery rubric and a visual analog scale.

RESULTS Number of attempts to stand was significantly lower when horses received propofol (median, 2; range, 1 to 3) than when they received midazolam (median, 7.5; range, 3 to 16). For both the recovery rubric and visual analog scale, recovery quality was significantly better when horses received propofol than when they received midazolam. Plasma drug concentration at recovery, as a percentage of the concentration at induction, was significantly lower when horses received propofol than when they received midazolam.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that for horses undergoing short (ie, 60 minutes) periods of general anesthesia, recovery quality may be better following induction with propofol and ketamine, compared with midazolam and ketamine.
Computer Gameplay and the Aesthetic Practices of the Self: Game Studies and the Late Work of Michel Foucault
Authors: Zhu Feng
Published: June 2018

This paper aims to critically introduce the applicability of Foucault’s late work, on the practices of the self, to the scholarship of contemporary computer games. I argue that the gameplay tasks that we set ourselves, and the patterns of action that they produce, can be understood as a form of ‘work on the self’, and that this work is ambivalent between, on the one hand, an aesthetic transformation of the self – as articulated by Foucault in relation to the care or practices of the self – in which we break from the dominant subjectivities imposed upon us, and on the other, a closer tethering of ourselves through our own playful impulses, to a neoliberal subjectivity centred around instrumentally-driven selfimprovement. Game studies’ concern with the effects that computer games have on us stands to gain from an examination of Foucault’s late work for the purposes of analysing and disambiguating between the nature of the transformations at stake. Further, Foucault’s tripartite analysis of ‘power-knowledge-subject’, which might be applied here as ‘game-discourse-player’, foregrounds the imbrication of our gameplay practices – the extent to which they are due to us and the way in which our own volitions make us subject to power, which is particularly pertinent in the domain of play.
