New Chemovariety of Lippia alba From Colombia: Compositional Analysis of the Volatile Secondary Metabolites and Some in vitro Biological Activities of the Essential Oil From Plant Leaves
Authors: Muñoz-Acevedo Amner , González María C. , Rodríguez Juan D. , Moya Yurina Sh. De
Published: July 2019

Lippia alba is a plant widely studied due to both chemical diversity and bioactivities related to its ethnobotanical uses. In this work, the composition of the volatile secondary metabolites (volatile fractions/essential oil, EO) of the flower/leaves of L. alba (from northern region of Colombia) was determined by solid phase micro-extraction/distillation-solvent extraction/microwave-hydrodistillation/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (MWHD/GC-MS), along with some in vitro biological properties (cytotoxicity and acetylcholinesterase enzyme [AChe] inhibition) from leaf EO. Outstanding results were found: (i) cis-piperitone oxide (~13%-46%), germacrene D (~11%-30%), and limonene (~10%-22%) characterized the volatile secondary metabolites from different parts of the plant; (ii) leaf EO showed a moderate hemolytic activity (HC50: 580 ± 1 µg/mL), a significant cytotoxicity on lymphocytes (LC50: 127 ± 3 µg/mL), a high cytotoxicity on HEp2 cell line (LC50: 38 ± 2 µg/mL), and a moderate inhibitory effect on AChE (IC50: 28 ± 2 µg/mL). Based on these results, a new chemovar of L. alba is reported (represented by cis-piperitone oxide) along with its promising cytotoxic and AChE inhibiting properties.

Hating in plain sight: The hatejacking of brands by extremist groups
Authors: Benton Bond , Peterka-Benton Daniela
Published: July 2019

The adoption of brands as an identity marker for hate groups has been extensively noted for decades. The use of specific brands, often covertly, allows hate groups to have identity markers without the social stigma ascribed to historical hate symbols. With high-profile events such as the ‘Unite the Right’ march in Charlottesville, hate groups have utilized media coverage to increase their visibility and, by extension, the brands that they have co-opted. Such unwanted associations for organizations are defined by this research as a hatejack, whereby an extremist group publicly presents linkage to a brand, typically to claim legitimacy by the association. The covert, hide-and-seek nature of the hatejack also allows extremist groups to identify with each other without public or legal scrutiny. The dangers of a hatejack have been exacerbated by two-way symmetrical models of public relations that focus on online and social media. Popular press books such as Brand Hijack seem to suggest that organizations would do well to cede ownership of their identity and allow the construction of brands by external publics. This emphasis, however, has allowed for hate groups to more readily adopt brands and publicly proclaim a connection to the organization that does not exist. This research examines cases of hatejacks in which brands become unwitting instruments of extremist groups and seeks to identify emerging and consistent themes across cases that merit further investigation by researchers and actions by practitioners.
The association of gout with an increased risk of hypertension and diabetes mellitus among stroke survivors in New Zealand: A cross-sectional study using routinely collected electronic health data
Authors: San Gabriel Dina Eufemia D , Slark Julia
Published: July 2019

Background

There is a paucity of data relating to the association of gout with the occurrence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in patients with stroke. This study aimed to determine the association of gout with the risk of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in a cohort of stroke patients from Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among stroke survivors in South and East Auckland, New Zealand from the years 2010 to 2014. Electronic health record data were collected and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science version 23. Multivariate logistic regression modelling adjusted for age, gender, and ethnicity was conducted to determine the association of gout with the risk of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in patients discharged with a diagnosis of stroke.

Results

The age-, gender-, and ethnicity-adjusted odds ratio for having hypertension and diabetes mellitus among stroke survivors with gout history were 3.25 (95% confidence interval 1.32–8.03) and 1.94 (95% confidence interval 1.12–3.36), respectively. Māori stroke survivors with gout history had the highest risk of having diabetes mellitus with age- and gender-adjusted odds ratio of 5.10 (95% confidence interval 1.90–18.93).

Conclusion

The findings from this study suggest gout may be independently associated with an increased risk of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in patients with stroke. Māori who are the indigenous population of New Zealand show a greater risk of diabetes mellitus associated with a gout diagnosis compared to other populations. This finding highlights the importance of the need for further research with Māori stroke survivors and other indigenous populations.

Published: July 2019

Introduction:

Chronic pain is one of the most prevalent causes of disability worldwide, and digital interventions may be one of the ways to meet this need. Randomised controlled trials have demonstrated that digital interventions can be effective in treating chronic pain. This study aimed to establish the clinical effectiveness of a web-based pain management programme (PMP), specifically whether it would lead to improved clinical outcomes and reduced health care costs in a real-world clinical setting.

Methods:

Of 738 participants, 438 engaged with the programme and 300 did not. Two analyses were conducted: a within-subjects pre–post comparison of clinical outcomes for participants who completed the programme and a between-groups comparison of health care usage for those who engaged and those who did not.

Results:

Participants who completed the programme made significant improvements with regard to their perceived health status, level of disability, mood, confidence managing pain, problems in life due to pain and level of pain. Around one-third of participants made reliable changes in their levels of disability, depression and anxiety. There was no relationship between gender or age and engagement with the programme. Those who engaged with the programme demonstrated reduced health care costs in the year following referral, whereas health care costs of non-engagers increased. Limitations of the study include a high drop-out rate and a non-randomised comparison group. Results must therefore be interpreted with some caution.

Conclusion:

A web-based pain management programme can be clinically effective and may be a useful addition to the treatments offered by pain management services.
Vote centers and turnout by election type in Texas
Authors: Cortina Jeronimo , Rottinghaus Brandon
Published: July 2019

The use of vote centers—specific locations in a county where all voters will vote—is on the rise nationwide, as more than a dozen states used this process by 2018. More states are moving toward using voting centers to remedy the problem of low voter turnout, with the assumption that the centralization of voting to several core county locations will increase voter accessibility. What we have less clear information about is the effect of vote centers on turnout in individual elections across several cycles. Using a natural experiment in Texas—a state that has three fixed election cycles—we find vote centers have a small positive impact on traditionally lower turnout elections but no effect on higher turnout elections. The cumulative impact of vote centers has a small effect on turnout over time. These results suggest a more cautious assessment is needed when considering the use and impact of vote centers.
Higher education, stakeholder interface and teacher formation for church schools
Authors: Stuart-Buttle Ros
Published: July 2019

Church-affiliated universities operate with increasingly complex roles and functions when engaging with multiple stakeholders in the provision of higher education. This article asks how to understand and analyse the interactions when these universities are among the multiple stakeholders in Christian teacher education. What frameworks of analysis or tools of evaluation can be employed? Stakeholder theory is shown to support the identification of various community interests and involvements and enable clarification of whose perspective or priorities are to be taken into account. From a recent UK research case study, the need for greater understanding and management of stakeholder interests and activity within Christian teacher education is highlighted.
Neurology Clerkship: Predictors of Objective Structured Clinical Examination and Shelf Performance
Authors: Sampat Ajay , Rouleau Gerald , O’Brien Celia , Zadikoff Cindy
Published: July 2019

Background:

We sought to determine whether the following factors are associated with stronger performance on the medical school neurology clerkship: (1) structure of the outpatient rotation (working with a single general neurologist or multiple subspecialists), (2) dedicated shelf exam preparation, and (3) clerkships completed prior to neurology rotation.

Methods:

A total of 439 Feinberg medical students between 2014 and 2016 were analyzed based on the 3 variables of interest listed above. Student performance was evaluated using the National Board of Medical Examiner shelf exam and Objective Structured Clinical Examination/standardized evaluation scores. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted.

Results:

The format of the 2-week outpatient rotation did not significantly affect shelf examination ( P = .59), or standardized evaluation ( P = .34) scores. Taking a shelf pre-test correlated with overall higher standardized evaluation scores ( P < .01), and higher shelf examination scores ( P < .01). No individual clerkship correlated with better performance; however, the total number of core clerkships was associated with higher shelf examination scores ( P = .007). Each additional core clerkship taken prior to neurology was associated with 0.72 points greater shelf examination score.

Conclusions:

Greater attending continuity did not appear to be associated with stronger performance perhaps due to a difference in types of cases observed. Students who took a practice shelf exam did better on both their shelf exam and standardized evaluation, suggesting that acquisition of knowledge translates to a better clinical performance. No individual clerkship offers an advantage, but rather it is the total number of clerkships that is correlated with stronger performance.
Proper dissipative torques in antiferromagnetic dynamics
Authors: Yuan H. Y. , Liu Qian , Xia Ke , Yuan Zhe , Wang X. R.
Published: July 2019

There is little doubt that the magnetization dynamics of ferromagnetic systems is governed by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation or its generalization with various spin torques. In contrast, there are several sets of dynamic equations for two-sublattice antiferromagnets (AFMs) in the literature that have different forms of dissipative torques and no proper dynamic equations for multi-sublattice AFMs and ferrimagnets in general. Here we introduce the general Rayleigh dissipation functional into the Lagrange equation and derive the proper form of the dissipative torques in the phenomenological equations for the AFMs with multiple sublattices. A new type of dissipative torque arising from the inter-sublattice drag effect is discovered which has important effects on the magnon lifetime and domain wall motion.
Hydrogen/Deuterium Isotopic Labeling Study of Enantioselective Hydrogenation of (E)-2-Methyl-2-butenoic Acid over a Cinchonidine-Modified Pd/C Catalyst
Authors: Sugimura Takashi , Tomatsuri Satoshi , Fujita Morifumi , Okamoto Yasuaki
Published: July 2019

In the enantioselecitve hydrogenation of (E)-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid (1) over a cinchonidine-modified Pd/C catalyst, the addition of hydrogen preferentially proceeds from the Re-Si enantioface of the C=C double bond of 1 to yield (S)-2-methylbutanoic acid ((S)-3). Double bond migration of 1 takes place under the reaction conditions and is followed by immediate hydrogenation to yield 3 in a poor enantiomeric purity. Deuterium labeling experiments at 0.1 MPa and 1.9 MPa of D2 verified the previous assumption of competitive double bond migration. The combination of isotopic labeling experiments and chiral analysis revealed that the double bond migration of 1 proceeds with the same enantiofacial differentiation as the hydrogenation of 1. Thus, interaction of 1 with cinchonidine adsorbed on the Pd surface may control the configuration of the double bond migration and the hydrogenation.
Preliminary assessment of the utilization of durian peel liquid smoke as a natural preservative for mackerel
Authors: Faisal Muhammad , Gani Asri , Mulana Farid
Published: July 2019

Background: Durian peel is a type of biomass waste that contains cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin. The pyrolysis of these compounds results in production of liquid smoke which can be used as a natural preservative to replace current synthetic preservatives. This research assessed the ability of liquid smoke produced during pyrolysis of durian peel to preserve fish.

Methods: Dry durian peel waste underwent batch reactor pyrolysis at 340°C and 380°C, resulting in production of liquid smoke (grade 3), charcoal, and tar. This liquid smoke was then distilled at 190°C to produce grade 1 liquid smoke, which was used to preserve mackerel. The preservation process was conducted by soaking the mackerel samples in liquid smoke at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3% concentration levels followed by observations every 6 hours. Tests to determine the total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) content, antibacterial quality of the liquid smoke and organoleptic quality of the fish were conducted in order to assess the preservation properties of the liquid smoke.

Results: Tests on the antibacterial effects showed that the liquid smoke inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus on fish even at low concentrations. At 54 hours, the TVB-N values remained below 30 mg nitrogen/g, indicating that the fish was still safe for human consumption. Results from the organoleptic tests showed that the concentration of liquid smoke influenced the preservation effects.

Conclusions: At a concentration of 2–3%, the fish samples possessed acceptable flavor, taste, color and texture for up to 48 hours of soaking. However, the best conditions were obtained with a 3% concentration of liquid smoke (produced with 340°C pyrolysis), as the fish was still considered acceptable for up to 42 hours.
Probiotics and prebiotics in clinical tests: an update
Authors: Brüssow Harald
Published: July 2019

Probiotics have been explored in an exponentially increasing number of clinical trials for their health effects. Drawing conclusions from the published literature for the medical practitioner is difficult since rarely more than two clinical trials were conducted with the same probiotic strain against the same medical condition. Consequently, the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) made a few recommendations restricting it to probiotic use against acute gastroenteritis and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Recent studies also made a strong case for probiotic use against sepsis in preterm and term infants from developing countries. Conclusions on the value of probiotics are best based on detailed meta-analyses (MA) of randomized controlled trials (RCT). Outcomes of MA are discussed in the present review for a number of gastroenterology conditions. Since these MA pool data from trials using different probiotic species, large RCT published sometimes come to different conclusions than MA including these studies. This is not necessarily a contradiction but may only mean that the specific probiotic species did not work under the specified conditions. Positive or negative generalization about probiotics and prebiotics should be avoided. Credible effects are those confirmed in independent trials with a specified probiotic strain or chemically defined prebiotic in a specified patient population under the specified treatment conditions. Even distinct technological preparations of the same probiotic strain might affect clinical outcomes if they alter bacterial surface structures. Underpowered clinical trials are another problem in the probiotic field. Data obtained with sophisticated omics technologies, but derived from less than ten human subjects should be interpreted with caution even when published in high impact journals.

Published: July 2019

Pheochromocytoma crisis is a rare medical emergency characterized by severe hypertension, shock, and multiorgan failure. Despite its widespread availability, low cost and wide therapeutic index, magnesium sulfate has primarily been utilized as an adrenergic antagonist during pheochromocytoma resection. This case report describes a 57-year-old male with recurrent nonsurgical pheochromocytoma and crisis refractory to adrenergic antagonism. Initiation of magnesium sulfate continuous infusion provided rapid hemodynamic control in the setting of inoperable disease. This case highlights the role and dosing of magnesium sulfate in the management of pheochromocytoma crisis.

Published: July 2019

Background: Platelets are important mediators of coagulation, inflammation, andatherosclerosis. We conducted a large population study with National Health and NutritionExamination Survey (NHANES) data to understand the relationship of total platelet count(TPC) with health and disease in humans.Methods: NHANES is a cross-sectional survey of non-institutionalized United States adults,administered every 2 years by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Participantsanswer a questionnaire, receive a physical examination, and undergo laboratory tests. TPCvalues were analyzed for a six-year period of NHANES (2011–2016). Weighted 10th and 90thpercentiles were calculated, and logistic regression was used to predict likelihood (Odds ratio[OR]) of being in categories with TPC < 10th percentile or > 90th percentile. Statistical analysiswas performed using Stata/SE 15.1, using population weights for complex survey design.Results: The mean TPC for our sample (N = 17,969) was 236 × 103/μL (SD = 59 × 103)with the 10th percentile 170 × 103/μL and the 90th percentile 311 × 103/μL. Hispanics (otherthan Mexican Americans) and obese individuals had lower odds of a TPC < 10th percentile.Males, Blacks, adults aged ≥ 45 years, and those with a recent (last 12 months) hospital staywere more likely to have a TPC < 10th percentile. Obese individuals and Mexican Americanshad higher odds of having TPC > 90th percentile. Individuals with a congestive heart failure(CHF) or coronary heart disease (CHD) diagnosis had over twice the odds (OR 2.06, 95% CI:1.50-2.82, p =< 0.001, and 2.11, 95% CI: 1.48-3.01, p =< 0.001, respectively) of having TPC<10th percentile. Individuals with an emphysema or asthma diagnosis were more likely to haveTPC > 90th percentile (OR 1.84, 95% CI: 1.08-3.13, p = 0.026, and 1.25, 95% CI: 1.00-1.56,p = 0.046, respectively). A diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cancer didnot have significant associations with TPC.Conclusions: Our study showed that obese individuals are more likely to havehigher TPC. Individuals with CHF and CHD had higher odds of having TPC < 10thpercentile, and those with emphysema and asthma were more likely to have TPC > 90thpercentile.
Ethics in physician-assisted dying and euthanasia
Authors: McKinnon Brandi , Orellana-Barrios Menfil
Published: July 2019

The definitions of physician-assisted dying, passive euthanasia, and active euthanasia arereviewed. The ethical implications of physician-assisted dying are also examined. Proponentsargue that physician-assisted dying is a more respectful and dignified way for terminally illpatients to die. However, opponents claim that physician-assisted dying devalues human life,which should be treasured and protected. A majority of the general population and physicianssupport physician-assisted dying, but there is a need for medical societies to develop training,support, and implementation standards to aid physicians in this process. Ethics committee’smay help fill this gap and provide institutional resources and mediation of value conflicts.

The differential diagnosis of cystic lung disease in adults includes inherited geneticsyndromes and several acquired conditions. Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome (BHD) is a rareinherited cystic lung disease associated with an increased risk of renal cell carcinoma,pulmonary cysts, and spontaneous pneumothorax that is not typically included in the differentialdiagnosis. Early recognition of this potentially life threatening syndrome is important and mayhelp prevent complications associated with this disease entity. The presence of spontaneouspneumothorax in this patient population is estimated at 30 %, and 12–34 % of patients withBHD are eventually diagnosed with renal cancer, usually by age 50 years.

Published: July 2019

El siguiente artículo resume los resultados de una revisión de la etiqueta #ColombiaDecide en la red social Twitter, promovida por un medio de comunicación nacional en el contexto de las elecciones regionales de octubre de 2015. El estudio buscó analizar: 1) la tendencia de usuarios influyentes, según la noción de autoridad o liderazgo que califica a algunos actores sociales para informar, en los cuales la gente confía para reproducir sus mensajes; y 2) la tendencia de inclusión de usuarios en las conversaciones derivadas de Twitter. Los indicadores en esta revisión fueron: los mensajes con más rt (retuits) y los usuarios con más menciones (@) en el contenido derivado de la etiqueta analizada. Se realizó una cualificación de los usuarios destacados en ambos análisis, a partir de la revisión de 8039 tuits, de los cuales 4325 mensajes fueron replicados (rt) y 3527 tuvieron menciones (@). Igualmente, se efectuó una clasificación de los usuarios más destacados en las tendencias analizadas, según el perfil de las cuentas expresadas en la ‘bio’ de cada uno. Los resultados asoman que, aunque Twitter permite espacio para actores emergentes, aun los medios y periodistas se mantienen como líderes en los que los usuarios siguen confiando para reproducir contenido en el caso de una etiqueta que demanda información sobre resultados electorales; además, nos acercamos a captar una relación entre la tendencia de inclusión de candidatos electorales en las conversaciones derivadas de Twitter y los resultados de votación, para el caso de Bogotá.
On the Role of Logic in Analytic Theology: Exploring the Wider Context of Beall’s Philosophy of Logic
Authors: Cotnoir A.J.
Published: July 2019

What is the proper role of logic in analytic theology? This question is thrown into sharp relief when a basic logical principle is questioned, as in Beall’s ‘Christ – A Contradiction.’ Analytic philosophers of logic have debated between exceptionalism and anti-exceptionalism, with the tide shifting towards anti-exceptionalism in recent years. By contrast, analytic theologians have largely been exceptionalists. The aim of this paper is to argue for an anti-exceptionalist view, specifically treating logic as a modelling tool. Along the way I critically engage with Beall on the role of logic in theology, maintaining that theological inquiry is in some ways disanalogous with other theoretical enterprises.
Christ – A Contradiction: A Defense of Contradictory Christology
Authors: Beall Jc
Published: July 2019

The fundamental problem of Christology (as Richard Cross famously coined it) is the apparent contradiction of Christ as recorded at Chalcedon. Christ is human (with everything entailed thereby) and Christ is divine (with everything entailed thereby). Being divine entails (among many other of God’s properties) being immutable. Being human entails (among many other of our essential properties) being mutable. Were Christ two different persons (viz., a human person, a divine person) there’d be no apparent contradiction. But Chalcedon rules as much out. Were Christ only partly human or only partly divine there’d be no apparent contradiction. But Chalcedon rules as much out. Were the very meaning of ‘mutable’ and/or ‘immutable’ (or other such predicates) other than what they are, there’d be no apparent contradiction. But the meaning is what it is, and changing the meaning of our terms to avoid the apparent contradiction of Christ is an apparent flight from reality.What, in the end, is the explanation of the apparent contradiction of Christ? Theologians and philosophers have long advanced many consistency-seeking answers, all of which increase the metaphysical or semantical complexity of the otherwise strikingly simple but radical core of Christianity’s GodMan. In this paper, I put the simplest explanation on the theological table: namely, Christ appears to be contradictory because Christ is contradictory (i.e., some predicate is both true and false of Christ, and hence some logical contradiction is true of Christ). This explanation may sound complicated to the many who are steeped in the mainstream account of logic according to which logic precludes the possibility of true contradictions. But the mainstream account of logic can and should be rejected. Ridding theology of the dogma of mainstream logic illuminates the simple though striking explanation of the apparent contradiction of Christ — namely, that Christ is a contradictory being. Just as the simplest explanation to the apparent roundness of the earth has earned due acceptance, so too should the simplest explanation of the apparent contradiction of Christ.

Microwave Drying of Pitaya (Hylocereus) Peel and the Effects Compared with Hot-Air and Freeze-drying
Authors: Chew Ying Ming , King V. An-Erl
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Microwave drying (MD) of pitaya peel was performed at 75, 225, 375, 525, and 750 W. The drying effects on the effective moisture diffusivity (De), total polyphenol content (TPC), betalain content, DPPH scavenging ability, and rehydration abilities of pitaya peel were examined. The data were compared with hot-air drying (HD) at 100°C for 4 h and freeze-drying (FD) for 24 h. The results showed that the MD kinetics of pitaya peel fit Fick’s law and the Arrhenius equation with an activation energy (Ea) of 34.08 W g-1. The De values of MD, which ranged from 2.35E-07 m2 s-1 (at 75 W) to 5.56E-06 m2 s-1 (at 750 W), indicated that the effectiveness of MD was appreciably higher than that of HD (2.44E-08 m2 s-1) and FD (4.43E-09 m2 s-1). Although MD resulted in decreased betacyanin (9.31 mg L-1 extract) and betaxanthin (6.58 mg L-1 extract) contents, the DPPH inhibition of pitaya peel remained at 75% due to an increase in TPC (115 mg GAE per 100 FW). MD of pitaya peel can also provide higher rehydration ability than HD and was comparable to FD. This study concludes that MD of pitaya peel was highly effective while maintaining high levels of TPC and DPPH inhibition. Keywords: Arrhenius equation, Effective moisture diffusivity, Fick’s law, Microwave drying, Pitaya peel.

Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência e fatores associados às Disfunções Temporomandibulares (DTM) em trabalhadores da indústria. Método: Estudo de corte transversal realizado com 1.252 trabalhadores da indústria atendidos pelo Serviço Social da Indústria (SESI), no Distrito Federal de seis estados brasileiros, em 2011. Os dados de risco ocupacional foram coletados na anamnese e entrevista ao paciente ou consulta ao PPRA/PCMSO. Adotou-se o Manual de Critérios do SESI para determinar a presença de DTM através de sinais e sintomas. Procedeu-se à análise multivariada de regressão logística, estimando o OR e Intervalo de Confiança a 95%, analisando o ajustamento pelo método da máxima verossimilhança. Resultados: Dos participantes, 15,50% apresentam algum sinal e sintoma de DTM. O ruído foi o sinal mais expressivo da ocorrência da DTM (10,14%). Observou-se associação com o sexo feminino (OR ajustado = 1,68; 1,19-2,35 IC 95%), raça/cor da pele negra/parda (OR ajustado = 1,76; IC 95%: 1,21-2,56), uso de tabaco (OR ajustado = 1,89; IC 95%: 1,18-3,04) e exposições ocupacionais a agentes físicos (OR ajustado = 1,81; IC 95%: 1,22-2,70) e ergonômicos (OR ajustado: 1,72; IC 95%: 1,18-2,51). Conclusão: Houve baixa prevalência de DTM na população da indústria. Encontrou-se associação estatisticamente significante com sexo feminino, fumante, etnia negra/parda e exposição a agentes físicos e ergonômicos no ambiente laboral, reforçando a importância da adoção de medidas preventivas para a melhoria da qualidade de vida do trabalhador.
Tracing pathways of relatedness: how identity-release gamete donors negotiate biological (non-)parenthood
Authors: Gilman Leah
Published: July 2019

This article draws on an interview study with UK ‘identity-release’ sperm and egg donors, exploring how, in the context of a new ethic of openness around donor conception, they articulate their role in relation to offspring. I show that participants neither dismissed, nor straightforwardly activated, the relational significance of the ‘biological’ substance they donated. Instead, they renegotiated its meaning in ways which do not map straightforwardly on to established kinship roles. Building on a conception of personal lives and selves as fundamentally relational (Mason, 2004; Smart, 2007; May, 2013), I show how donors managed the conflicting demands of identity-release donation by tracing their relatedness to offspring along particular pathways (while diminishing others); the inherent connectedness of their own lives and selves enabled them to construct indirect non-parental connections with offspring as the siblings of their own children or the children of their friends or sisters.
Out-of-place: the lack of engagement with parent networks of caregiving fathers of young children
Authors: Brooks Rachel , Hodkinson Paul
Published: July 2019

This article explores the daytime social interactions of fathers in heterosexual households who have assumed primary or equal responsibility for the care of their young children. It outlines how, for most such fathers in our sample, contact with other parents during their day-to-day care was minimal. Many initially rationalised their isolation as a personal preference rooted in their own ‘introverted’ nature, but such individualised narratives underplayed how various systemic factors worked against their integration into parent networks. While these may include, we suggest, less intense pressures than mothers to engage with such groups in the first place, our primary findings concern barriers they faced, including: feeling ‘out-of-place’ in many daytime public spaces; a specific fear of being judged because of their gender; and the difficulty of meeting other fathers with responsibility for day-to-day care. The operation of these factors, we argue, provides evidence of the enduring nature of gender differences with respect to early years parenting and in particular, of the gendering of daytime public parenting spaces – something that may represent a barrier to the extent and longevity of fathers’ caregiving roles.
New Skies Above: Sense-bound and place-based songwriting as a trauma response for asylum seekers and refugees
Authors: Harrison Klisala , Jacobsen Kristina , Sunderland Naomi
Published: July 2019

There is sparse literature examining connections between songwriting and trauma overall, or specific connections between songwriting, trauma, the senses and place. This article presents a sense- and place-based approach to songwriting with and by asylum seekers and refugees. We facilitated a four-day songwriting workshop in Turku, Finland, that incorporated trauma-informed approaches, and whose outcomes we documented through ethnography. We responded to traumas of participants involving social isolation and relocation by encouraging the use of sense-bound imagery – lyrics that communicate a multisensory experience of ‘being there’. We demonstrate that songwriting can support refugees and asylum seekers in gently connecting to difficult places, while achieving respite from trauma via positive overall musical experiences. If approached in a trauma-informed and -sensitive way, sense-bound songwriting that indirectly engages potential trauma triggers can offer a gentle path towards neutrally engaging the triggers – an essential step in trauma recovery.
Mentoring and peer support as facilitators of arts-based practice in care homes
Authors: Evans Simon , Garabedian Claire , Bray Jennifer , Gray Karen
Published: July 2019

This article reports on the evaluation of a mentoring approach that was adopted to support the sustainable provision of activities in UK care homes across three creative art forms: poetry, dance and drama. Data are presented from multiple sources including questionnaires, focus groups, reflective diaries and interviews to explore the implementation and impact of the approach. Artists reported that the support of their mentors enabled them to develop the confidence, skills and strategies required to work effectively in care homes as a new setting. For the mentors, being involved in the project led to professional development. Diverse methods of mentor-to-artist contact were a key feature of the approach, including face-to-face meetings, telephone calls, e-mails and tele-conferencing. Peer support, although not planned, emerged as an important mechanism for sharing skills and information among artists. The impact of the mentoring approach continued beyond the life of the project, with some artists extending their practice to additional care homes and other settings including homeless adults, young children and hospitals.
Representation and knowledge exchange: A scoping review of photovoice and disability
Authors: Macdonald Diane , Dew Angela , Boydell Katherine M.
Published: July 2019

Long-held misperceptions around disability continue to cause discrimination, stigmatization and harm. Effective, impactful research can challenge and change the status quo and influence decision-making. This scoping review seeks to understand how one arts-based research method, photovoice, interrogates issues in disability research. This article maps the current field of enquiry developing around disability photovoice research and examines two variables: representation and knowledge exchange. Thirty identified articles converged on the relevance to people with disability of community, accessibility, attitudinal change, adaption, economic empowerment and identity. Disseminating new knowledge generated through photovoice to a broader audience can have impact, especially on physical and attitudinal barriers. However, impact is rarely addressed in photovoice research. With its growing application in the disability field, photovoice research should monitor its influence on community and the environment to determine its benefit beyond the research setting.
Art, health promotion and community health: Constructing the ‘Madrid Salud’ model
Authors: Ávila Noemí , Azcona Claudia , Claver Ma Dolores , Larraín Adelaida , Segura Javier , Martínez Mercedes
Published: July 2019

This study breaks new ground by exploring the relationship between art and an aspect of health, health promotion and community health. Madrid Salud is a public body of the Madrid City Council that is responsible for this purpose. In 2011, it launched the ‘Art and Health’ project, which incorporated art as a tool for this. The study sets out to gather, document and highlight data on the ‘Art and Health’ project. The impact of collaboration between art and community health is not only shown by quantitative data but also through creative and artistic tools that reveal the potential of these actions. The results are organized both quantitatively and qualitatively using the numbers of participants, the social and cultural agents involved, workshops and artistic productions. The examples obtained confirm that art is a valid tool for opening up ways for the public to take part in preventive healthcare and health promotion.

Mass tourism as cultural trauma: An analysis of the Majorcan comics Els darrers dies de l’Imperi Mallorquí (2014) and Un infern a Mallorca (La decadència de l’Imperi Mallorquí) (2018)
Authors: Colom-Montero Guillem
Published: July 2019

The Mediterranean island of Majorca has been a popular tourist resort since the late 1950s. While the model of mass tourism has been a subject of various unremitting sociopolitical controversies on the island, the swelling number of visiting tourists in recent years has increased anxieties about the sociocultural and environmental impact of touristification processes. Drawing upon studies of cultural trauma, this article argues that the comics Els darrers dies de l’Imperi Mallorquí (The Last Days of the Majorcan Empire) (2014) and its sequel, Un infern a Mallorca (La decadència de l’Imperi Mallorquí) (Hell in Majorca [The Decadence of the Majorcan Empire]) (2018), represent the advent of mass tourism on the island as the trigger of a sudden, comprehensive, unexpected and polarizing episode of social change that has profoundly transformed the sociocultural tissue of Majorcan society and the island’s landscape and territory. Both comics depict these socio-environmental crises as cultural crises and therefore suggest the possibility that the experience of cultural trauma has occurred in the island’s recent history. As the article shows, the comic form turns out to be highly qualified to portray the sense of cultural disorientation resulting from the traumatic experience, and to dialogue with the quasi-apocalyptic imagery circulated by emerging grassroots movements against mass tourism on the island. The article further suggests that such a highly critical portrayal of tourism-oriented dynamics should be read vis-à-vis the growing concerns about overtourism in Europe and beyond.
