A Latent Transition Analysis of English Learners With Reading Disabilities
Authors: Swanson H. Lee
Published: April 2017

The purpose of this cohort sequential study was to extend previously reported latent transition analyses conducted by Swanson, Kudo, and Guzman-Orth (2016) by determining the role of cognitive measures in identifying English learners (EL) at risk for late emerging reading disabilities (LERD). To this end, EL students (N = 450) in Grades 1, 2, and 3 at Wave 1 were administered a battery of reading, vocabulary, and cognitive measures (short-term memory [STM], working memory [WM], rapid naming, and random letter and number generation) in both Spanish and English. These same measures were administered 1 and 2 years later. Four important findings emerged. First, inclusion of cognitive measures provided a better fit to the data toward identifying latent class transitions than with reading and vocabulary measures alone. Second, the prevalence of children identified as at risk for reading disabilities in the earlier testing waves within each cohort was stable across testing waves (97% chance of maintaining the classification). Third, the latent class labeled as inattentive in Wave 1 showed the largest transition probabilities for LERD, especially for the cohorts transitioning from Grades 3 to 4. Finally, the chances of “not” being identified as LERD were significantly related to performance on L1 and/or L2 measures of cognition (English STM, Spanish WM, and Spanish naming Speed), reading (Spanish word identification, English passage comprehension) and vocabulary (English vocabulary and English syntax). The results support the notion that statistically distinct latent classes emerge under the umbrella of reading proficiency, but those children identified as late emerging poor readers were related to another latent class of risk group (inattentive children) rather than to a latent class of good readers.
Understanding disruptive behaviour in the juvenile prison estate
Authors: Whiteside Emma , Bond Carol A.
Published: April 2017

Purpose

Serious incidents of violent disruption within the national young-persons’ prison estate endanger offenders, staff and visitors and have a significant impact. The purpose of this paper is to explore the function of and factors influencing violent disruptive behaviour.

Design/methodology/approach

In total, 21 young people (n=21) with a history of violence in custody were administered semi-structured interviews to explore the reasons for their behaviour. The data were explored using thematic analysis.

Findings

Six themes were identified: attitude and propensity for violence, perceptions and intolerance of others, consequences of violent behaviour, the physical environment, previous indicators, and protective factors.

Research limitations/implications

The study is reliant on self-report and thus may reflect biases. The presence of a recording device may have had an impact on responses. Logistical practicalities meant participants were approached via an intermediary which may have impacted on a willingness to participate.

Practical implications

Several practical implications are identified: cognitive skills programmes which encourage consequential thinking, perspective-taking, communication skills and exploring alternative problem-solving strategies are of value. Shouting through doors and windows is a major source of provocation and should be addressed. The induction process provides opportunities for equality-awareness work. Gang membership issues are a major cause of violence, and attitudes around this should be addressed. Building trust between staff and young people helps reduce problems. Systems to provide access to facilities and to provide support to cope with stress and isolation may be of value.

Originality/value

This study uses a qualitative approach to exploring young people’s views on prison violence. The findings reflect previous research but strengthen the perspective that violence in prison serves several purposes for those involved and that violence-reduction strategies must be multi-modal to be effective.
The Status of Passive Constructions in Old English
Authors: Jones Howard , Macleod Morgan
Published: April 2017

In Old English, passive‐type constructions involving a copula and a passive participle could be used to express both events and states. Two different types of copula are found in these constructions: weorðan, meaning ‘become’, and wesan and beon, meaning ‘be’. There has been some dispute as to how the meaning of these copulas relates to the meaning of the construction as a whole, in both its eventive and its stative uses, and whether any of these constructions was grammaticalized in the sense that its meaning was non‐compositional. We propose a semantic model that represents these constructions compositionally and test it against a selected corpus of Old English texts in order to address two questions: whether the data provide evidence of non‐compositional meaning that would suggest grammaticalization, and whether other factors are also responsible for the choice of copula. Our analysis suggests that the attested Old English passives are fully compatible with a compositional analysis; we also discuss additional semantic factors that may be responsible for the lower frequency of passives with weorðan.
Control of Vibration Using Compliant Actuators
Authors: Mareta Sannia , Halim Dunant , Popov Atanas A.
Published: April 2017

This work proposes a method for controlling vibration using compliant-based actuators. The compliant actuator combines a conventional actuator with elastic elements in a series configuration. The benefits of compliant actuators for vibration control applications, demonstrated in this work, are twofold: (i) vibration reduction over a wide frequency bandwidth by passive control means and (ii) improvement of vibration control performance when active control is applied using the compliant actuator. The vibration control performance is compared with the control performance achieved using the well-known vibration absorber and conventional rigid actuator systems. The performance comparison showed that the compliant actuator provided a better flexibility in achieving vibration control over a certain frequency bandwidth. The passive and active control characteristics of the compliant actuator are investigated, which shows that the control performance is highly dependent on the compliant stiffness parameter. The active control characteristics are analyzed by using the proportional-derivative (PD) control strategy which demonstrated the capability of effectively changing the respective effective stiffness and damping of the system. These attractive dual passive–active control characteristics are therefore advantageous for achieving an effective vibration control system, particularly for controlling the vibration over a specific wide frequency bandwidth.

The analytical performance of the Veris HIV-1 assay for use on the new, fully automated Beckman Coulter DxN Veris molecular diagnostics system was evaluated at 10 European virology laboratories. The precision, analytical sensitivity, performance with negative samples, linearity, and performance with HIV-1 groups/subtypes were evaluated. The precision for the 1-ml assay showed a standard deviation (SD) of 0.14 log
10
copies/ml or less and a coefficient of variation (CV) of ≤6.1% for each level tested. The 0.175-ml assay showed an SD of 0.17 log
10
copies/ml or less and a CV of ≤5.2% for each level tested. The analytical sensitivities determined by probit analysis were 19.3 copies/ml for the 1-ml assay and 126 copies/ml for the 0.175-ml assay. The performance with 1,357 negative samples demonstrated 99.2% with not detected results. Linearity using patient samples was shown from 1.54 to 6.93 log
10
copies/ml. The assay performed well, detecting and showing linearity with all HIV-1 genotypes tested. The Veris HIV-1 assay demonstrated analytical performance comparable to that of currently marketed HIV-1 assays. (DxN Veris products are Conformité Européenne [CE]-marked

Dose requirements for idarucizumab reversal of dabigatran in a lethal porcine trauma model with continuous bleeding
Authors: Honickel Markus , Spronk Henri M. , Rossaint Rolf , Stoppe Christian , van Ryn Joanne , ten Cate Hugo , Grottke Oliver
Published: April 2017

Idarucizumab is licensed for emergency reversal of dabigatran. A single 5 g dose is usually sufficient, but higher doses may sometimes be required and optimum dosing has not been defined. It was the aim of this study to investigate the effect of idarucizumab, given once or as a split dose, after double trauma in pigs anticoagulated with dabigatran. Dabigatran etexilate (30 mg/kg bid) was given to 18 male pigs orally for 3 days. On day 4, animals were randomised 1:1:1 to receive idarucizumab 60+0, 60+60 or 120+0 mg/kg. Doses were administered 15 and 75 minutes after initial liver trauma. At 60 minutes, a second liver injury was undertaken. Animals were monitored for 5 hours after initial trauma or until death. Blood loss during the first hour was 990 ± 109 ml, 988 ± 84 ml and 964 ± 75 ml in the 60+0, 60+60 and 120+0 groups, respectively. In the 120+0 and 60+60 groups, total blood loss was 1659 ± 346 and 1426 ± 106 ml, respectively, and survival at 5 hours was 100 %. However, in the 60+0 group, total blood loss was 3561 ± 770 ml and survival was 50 %. Analysis of dabigatran plasma concentrations showed that equimolar concentrations of idarucizumab are necessary to bind all dabigatran and achieve sufficient thrombin generation. At sufficient doses, idarucizumab rapidly reduced blood loss and improved survival in this lethal porcine model of double trauma with dabigatran anticoagulation. In clinical practice, should bleeding continue after initial treatment with the approved 5 g dose of idarucizumab, a second dose may potentially be effective to control bleeding caused by redistribution of unbound dabigatran.

The Automaton of the Anthropocene: On Carbosilicon Machines and Cyberfossil Capital
Authors: Pasquinelli Matteo
Published: April 2017

This essay proposes a definition of industrial labor as the composition of energy and information, in order to weave the issue of labor back into the fabric of the Anthropocene paradigm. The essay illustrates the industrial machine as the forgotten bifurcation of energy and information and follows such a bifurcation along three stages: the industrial factory, the cybernetic society, and planetary computation. More generally, the essay tries to recombine the energy theory of labor (labor as manual and energetic activity) with the information theory of labor, that is, labor as a source of information and intelligence that gives form to energy. The notions of carbosilicon machine and cyberfossil capital are sketched in order to rethink social autonomy also as autonomy of energy and information.
The Borders Beneath: On Pipelines and Resource Sovereignty
Authors: Havrelock Rachel
Published: April 2017

The very phrase “modern Middle East” conjures images of military conflict, terrorism, sectarianism, and oil, yet most observers tend to separate the history of Western oil consumption from Middle Eastern wars or dismiss the whole business as wars for oil. This essay argues that the claims staked by Western oil companies to the entire subterranean sphere involved a configuration of sovereignty in which the states in question were alienated from the resources of value. This hollow form of sovereignty had corollaries on the territorial level where oil companies promoted sectarianism and its militarization. On this count, I modify Timothy Mitchell's thesis in Carbon Democracy that the militarization of the Middle East was a largely American solution to lost profits following the nationalization of oil by producing countries (insofar as lost oil profits were recuperated through weapons sales), arguing instead that militarization was a strategy simultaneous with the development of oil concessions. Subsequent nationalization of the concessions involved the absorption of ethnic competition and militarized space into the very fabric of the nation-state. In the current embattled context, a nascent form of resource sovereignty operates in Iraqi Kurdistan where the Kurdistan Regional Government funds the Peshmerga with proceeds from its independent oil sales. Although a successful, long-term outcome of resource sovereignty depends on the dissolution of another colonial holdover, namely, claims based on ethnicity, the Kurdish restructuring of oil ownership marks the first step in dissolving the enduring legacies of colonial administration, authoritarian governments, and systematic militarization.
“All the Bright Eyes of the Kingdom”: Charlotte Lennox's Discursive Communities
Authors: Hall S. Cailey
Published: April 2017

This article argues that Charlotte Lennox innovates with nonstandard narrative techniques to conjure up lively new discursive communities. In her most famous work, The Female Quixote (1752), Lennox experiments with the formal feature of chapter titles, whose insouciant, disembodied voice emerges as the text's most distinct and powerful narrative force. This voice presents itself as corrective and collective, demonstrating the benefits of a community and redefining the authority of the author. In her less well-known periodical, The Lady's Museum (1760-61), Lennox introduces an eidolon, “The Trifler,” whose lively voice recalls The Female Quixote's chapter titles. As the periodical continues, the Trifler's individual voice gives way to an even livelier assortment of voices, which debate the Trifler's right to her “title”. In both works, Lennox explores the tension between instruction and delight. Her writing offers far more than a straightforward, laudable project of female education, as she imagines pleasing discursive communities in which meaning in general, and “titles” in particular, are debated, challenged, and in flux.

Published: April 2017

In recent time, as the Chinese consumption level increases, the consumption quantity of high-value fruits, vegetables and seafood products have been increasing year by year. As a consequence, the traffic volume of refrigerated products also increases yearly and the popularization degree of the cold-chain transportation enhances. A low-temperature environment should be guaranteed during transportation, thus there is about 40% of diesel oil should be consumed by the refrigerating system and the cold-chain transportation becomes very costly. This study aimed to explore methods that could reduce the cost of transport packages of refrigerated products. On the basis of the heat transfer theory and the fluid mechanics theory, the heat exchanging process of corrugated cases during the operation of refrigerating system was analyzed, the heat transfer process of corrugated cases and refrigerator van was theoretically analyzed and the heat balance equation of corrugated cases was constructed.

A Study of Conceptualisation of Quality of Life by Czech Fifth-Graders
Authors: Lukášová Hana
Published: April 2017

Introduction: This study summarized the results of research on quality of life as conceived by Czech fifth-graders.

Methods: The subjects responded in writing to three tasks that asked them to describe the characteristics of quality of life. The first task required them to picture what they imagined under a magazine headline entitled “Quality of Children’s Lives”. The second task required them to explain this headline to their classmates, while the third task asked them to generate their own ideas of a bad life, normal life, and excellent life.

The sample consisted of 174 fifth-grade pupils from two Czech localities. The pupils’ statements were open-coded, and then the codes were cumulated to create content categories.

Results: Ten large categories emerged from the data that depicted children’s ideas of quality of life. Data processing the frequencies of the content of the categories were computed to show the ranking of the characteristics of the quality of life as selected by the children. The study revealed that the fifth-grade pupils attributed a wide range of valuable characteristics (social, psychological, environmental, spiritual and personal) to the concept of quality of life.

Discussion: In pedagogical theory, the quality of children’s lives is a concept with a number of meanings. It includes qualities related to biopsycho- personal, social, and spiritual aspects of life.

Limitations: The quality of children’s lives is a multidimensional concept and we can study only some of them.

Conclusions: Responses to the third research question can be summarized into three key answers, illustrated by relevant statements of the Czech fifth-grade students.
The Logikē Latreia of Romans 12: 1 and Its Interpretation Among Christian Humanists
Authors: Summers Kirk M.
Published: April 2017

Scholars have debated whether the sentiment of sixteenth century reformers against material forms of worship derived from certain Neo-Platonic ideas proliferating in parts of Europe and disseminated by Erasmus or from strictly Scriptural principles that were initially formulated by the Old Testament prophets and given fuller expression in the New. This essay studies the reformers′ interpretation of the phrase logikē latreia at Romans 12:1, as well as other key passages. It concludes that, whether consciously or subconsciously, the reformers borrowed language concerning the material-spiritual dichotomy of worship, not directly from Neo-Platonists, but from a commonplace used by numerous Roman writers. Early Church Fathers had long ago turned the same commonplace against pagan rivals, but now the reformers were employing it against the Catholic Church itself.

The article presents the data on the effect of antihelmintic and imunomodulating drug «Neoverm» on the dogs’ body when the drug was administered into the stomach of the animals within three days and the results of its application in the combination with the drugs that contain antioxidant and membrane stabilizing substances. To protect the body from toxic action of «Neoverm» the drugs were used under two schemes: «E-Selenium» and «Quercetin», phospholipid hepaprotector «Lesphal» and «green buckwheat» (a feed additive – pre-ground raw buckwheat as a natural source of quercetin). The result a were compared with the control group and the group that received only «Neoverm». It has been found out that the use of «Neoverm» for the dogs both on the 7th and 14th days had a negative impact on the hematological parameters and the activity of blood enzymes that reflects the functional state of the liver. In particular, the reduction in the number of erythrocytes and the level of hemoglobin as well as the significant increase in the activity of diagnostic enzymes: alanine (ALT), asparagine (AST), gammaglutamyl (GGT) transferases and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) have been revealed. The proposed schemes to correct the toxic effect of the drug «Neoverm» in dogs led to the restoration of endogenous antitoxic resources, that is, to a gradual normalization of hematological parameters and the activity of indicatory enzymes of blood (the decrease in the activity of AST, ALT, GGT, ALP and LDH and the normalization of the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin) and that is the basis for the use of the above drugs as protectors-antioxidants when «Neoverm» is used.

DISTRIBUTION OF Meloidogyne enterolobii IN GUAVA ORCHARDS IN THE STATE OF CEARÁ, BRAZIL
Authors: SILVA MARIA DO CARMO LOPES DA , SANTOS CARMEM DOLORES GONZAGA
Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT Among the factors negatively impacting guava (Psidium guajava) crop in Brazil, one of the most important is the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne enterolobii, which may cause considerable yield losses and even the cessation of guava cultivation in some areas. In addition to affecting guava, the pathogen has been reported as a parasite in various other crops, among them both oleraceous and ornamental crops, as well as in spontaneous vegetation. The aim of this study was to verify the occurrence of M. enterolobii in plants collected in guava orchards in different counties of Ceará state, identified through electrophoresis with the isoenzyme esterase, and to observe its infecting behavior into Meloidogyne differentiating plants. Fifty root samples from guava, tasselflower (Emilia fosbergii), and jurubeba (Solanum paniculatum), were collected in 13 counties from eight micro-regions in the state of Ceará. In all analyzed samples, only esterase phenotype M2 (Rm: 0.6; 0.9), characteristic of M. enterolobii, was detected, showing that the nematode is widespread in orchards throughout the state, where is affecting these fruit tree, and that it is also able to parasitizing plants of the spontaneous vegetation. Based on the results, this nematode currently constitutes a serious threat to guava plantations in Ceará, and effective control mechanisms are crucial to prevent the spread of this pathogen to other, still unaffected, areas.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the frequency of blood pressure documentation performed by nursing professionals in an emergency department. Methods This is a cross-sectional, observational, descriptive, and analytical study, which included medical records of adult patients admitted to the observation ward of an emergency department, between March and May 2014. Data were obtained through a collection instrument divided into three parts: patient identification, triage data, and blood pressure documentation. For statistical analysis, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used, with a significance level of α<0.05. Results One hundred fifty-seven records and 430 blood pressure measurements were analyzed with an average of three measurements per patient. Of these measures, 46.5% were abnormal. The mean time from admission to documentation of the first blood pressure measurement was 2.5 minutes, with 42 minutes between subsequent measures. There is no correlation between the systolic blood pressure values and the mean time interval between blood pressure documentations: 0.173 (p=0.031). Conclusion The present study found no correlation between frequency of blood pressure documentation and blood pressure values. The frequency of blood pressure documentation increased according to the severity of the patient and decreased during the length of stay in the emergency department.

ABSTRACT Objective To characterize hypertensive patients after admission to hospital considering the current status, compliance to treatment, habits and lifestyle, and knowledge and beliefs about the disease. Methods This was an exploratory study with 265 hypertensive patients admitted to a medical inpatients unit of a university hospital. Data were collected in an interview over the telephone. The level of significance was set as p<0.05. Results It was found that 32% of hypertensive patients had died. One hundred patients were interviewed, mean age of 64.15 (13.2) years, 51% were women, 56% non-white, 51% with primary education, 52% were retired, 13% were smokers, 38% used alcohol, 80% did not perform physical exercise, and the mean body mass index was 35.9 (15.5) kg/m2. The comorbidities were heart problem (52%), diabetes (49%) and stroke (25%). As to antihypertensive treatment, 75% were on use, 17.3% stopped taking them and 21.3% missed visits. The treatment sites were the primary care unit (49%) and hospital (36%). As for knowledge and beliefs, 25% believed hypertension is curable, 77% that treatment should last for the rest of their lives, and hypertension brings complications (84%). A total of 46.7% were controlled. The lack of control was associated (p<0.05) with non-white ethnicity and absence of heart problems. Conclusion There were significant deaths occurred after hospitalization and poor control of blood pressure, probably due to inadequate habits and lifestyles and non-compliance to antihypertensive treatment.

Resumo A representação de animais na cerâmica coríntia durante o VII século a.C. consiste em uma temática bastante apreciada entre arqueólogos e historiadores da Arte ao longo do século XX. Segundo esses especialistas, o ‘estilo orientalizante’ era concebido como uma ‘importação’ de signos próximo-orientais por parte dos artesãos gregos. Porém, uma nova visão acerca do ‘fenômeno orientalizante’ tem buscado compreender as tensões, as disputas e os conflitos no seio das elites nas póleis por meio da análise dos artefatos ‘orientais’. Nosso intuito consiste em apresentar um novo olhar sobre as representações de animais e de ‘seres fabulosos’ na cerâmica coríntia durante o VII século a.C.
Imagem e espaço em pinturas de vaso e escultura arquitetônica: sobre a (ir)relevância do suporte
Authors: Dietrich Nikolaus
Published: April 2017

Resumo Este artigo explora a relevância do suporte no estudo da arte da Grécia Antiga, através de uma análise paralela da relação entre imagem e espaço na pintura de vasos áticos e escultura arquitetônica. Enquanto produções acadêmicas recentes e inovadoras sobre arte grega tentam focar na incomensurabilidade de diferentes suportes da representação pictórica, este artigo mostra analogias essenciais. As imagens encontradas em ambos os meios pictóricos provam abranger uma definição mais ampla que a de corpo físico. Em vez disso, nenhum limite claro pode ser definido entre o corpo físico e suas “extensões” - armadura, vestimenta, características, em alguns casos até elementos do contexto espacial da imagem como, por exemplo, “paisagem”. Enquanto esse espaço (presumido) que a cerca pode ser parte intrínseca da imagem, a ideia do espaço pictórico dissociado da estrutura material está ausente, tanto na pintura do vaso quanto na escultura arquitetônica. Em vez disso, o espaço das figuras é idêntico à sua estrutura material, seja na área de pintura do vaso ou no frontispício de um templo.

It also reveals some existing obstacles in implementing these elements, namely the constraints of teachers, lack of reading and less training. Although this study showed that PAI teachers in this study attempted to implement various cultural elements in their teaching, the level of implementation of these elements is still at an acceptable level. Hence, the PAI teachers must enhance their understanding, knowledge, skills, and expertise to improve and develop their skills in applying the elements of multicultural education in the learning of PAI.
Perspective: POTUS Trump’s Executive Orders - Implications for Immigrants and Health Care
Authors: Talamantes Efrain , Aguilar-Gaxiola Sergio
Published: April 2017

The United States, under new executive orders proposed by its 45th president, may quickly lose its greatness in serving Emma Lazarus’ untimely portrait of immigrants and refugees as “the tired, poor and huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” After years of progress in improving health care access to underserved populations, new executive orders threaten our nation’s advancements in health equity. Within this perspective, we offer examples on how these actions may result in damaging impacts on patients, families, communities and the health care workforce. We add our voices to a myriad of national leaders who are advocating for the preservation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the protection of immigrants, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

Belief in God by Intuitive knowledge
Authors: Hakimelahi Abdolmajid , Hamdani Basrir
Published: April 2017

The epistemological approach of evidentialism maintains that a belief must have sufficient evidence in order to be rationally justified. The belief in God is no exception and, hence, it too must pass the litmus test of evidence as a measure of its rational justification. But what counts as evidence? Responding to this question and identifying the nature of the evidence that can be used to justify belief has become a point of contention between philosophers. While some evidentialists have denied the possibility of evidence for the belief in God, others have attacked the very basis of the evidentialist claim by promoting belief in God without evidence. The following paper briefly describes these two currents and culminates by discussing the notion of innate concepts and presential knowledge as proposed by Mulla Sadra. According to the authors, this type of presential knowledge can be included as “evidence” even from the evidentialist point of view which does not limit evidence to conceptual knowledge.

KONSEP SYURA MENURUT HAMKA DAN M. QURAISH SHIHAB
Authors: Saputro Adfan Hari
Published: April 2017

Abstract:

This study is a library research using a philosophical approach and intended to examine how the concept of shura according to Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab’s view, which theygavein interpreting the verses of the Qur’an about shura in Tafsir al-Azhar and Tafsir al-Mishbah. This research will also examine the relevance of the interpretation of Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab about the shura concept in the present context.
Based on the research results, Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab assume that shura can be changed to adjust the condition of society. This is consistent with the interpretation of contemporary exegetes. This definition is not conflicting with the interpretation of the classical commentators. However, M. Quraish Shihab then states that it doesn’t need to bind themselves to the verdict of Islamic scholars and even former friends, so causing confusion to think, because there is no clear frame for the detachment. In short, the interpretation of M. Quraish Shihab stained the relativism interpretation. Nevertheless, Hamka’s concept of shura is still in accordance with the interpretation of the commentators so it’s very relevant when it is applied in enforcing the principle of shura in society and the Islamic state. The efforts of some Muslims who build Islam through democracy,for example in Public Election, it does not mean that they recognize democracy as a part of Islam, but it just the way(wasîlah) in maintaining dharûratul khamsah Muslims to consider the serious benefits and harms.

Keywords: shura; democracy; Hamka, Quraish Shihab.
