Published: October 2018

El éxito escolar es en la actualidad una prioridad para la inclusión social y el bienestar de las personas de toda la Unión Europea. En este sentido, España afronta un reto crucial con unas altas tasas de fracaso escolar en un contexto socioeconómico caracterizado por un alto desempleo y la escasez de recursos públicos. El estudio de los condicionantes del éxito escolar supone un avance para prevenir dicho fracaso desde la globalidad de nuestro sistema educativo. El presente artículo plantea una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura sobre el éxito escolar especialmente en España en los últimos quince años. El trabajo compara la relación de los condicionantes de éxito escolar que fundamentan el modelo PISA con los presentados por la literatura especializada, con el objetivo de discutir algunas de las limitaciones presentadas por el modelo PISA. Los resultados muestran que para abordar el éxito escolar de un modo efectivo es necesario plantear un enfoque más amplio y global, incluyendo factores comunitarios como condicionantes más allá de los individuales, familiares y escolares; así como una mirada a la relación entre dichos factores, destacando algunos indicadores transversales como las redes de colaboración entre actores educativos y las expectativas del contexto.AbstractEducational success is a priority for the inclusion and well-being of people across the European Union. In this sense, Spain is facing crucial challenges with high rates of school failure in a socioeconomic context characterized by high unemployment and limited public resources. The study of the comprehensive conditions of educational success is a step forward to prevent the failure of our education system. This article presents an extensive review of the literature on educational success especially in Spain over the last fifteen years. The study compares the ratio of the conditions of educational success that underpin the PISA model, with those presented by the literature, in order to discuss some of the limitations presented by the PISA model. The results show that to effectively address educational success is necessary to consider a broader and more comprehensive approach, including community factors as conditions beyond the individual, family and school; as well as a look at the relationship between these conditions and factors, highlighting some indicators such as crosseducational collaboration between actors and context expectations.

A Cold Shower for the Hot Hand Fallacy: Robust Evidence that Belief in the Hot Hand is Justified
Authors: Miller Joshua Benjamin , Sanjurjo Adam
Published: October 2018

The hot hand fallacy has long been considered a massive and widespread cognitive illusion with important implications in economics and finance. We develop a novel empirical strategy to correct for several fundamental limitations in the canonical study and replications, conduct an improved field experiment to test for the hot hand in its original domain (basketball shooting), and gather all extant controlled shooting data. We find strong evidence of hot hand shooting in every dataset, including on the individual level. Also, in a novel study of beliefs, we find that expert observers can predict (out-of-sample) which shooters are hotter.

Judicial Review of Medical Treatment Programs
Authors: Beresford H. Richard
Published: October 2018

12 California Western Law Review 331 (1976).Physicians have long enjoyed autonomy in their decisions about medical treatment. But in recent years a rise in professional liability suits, vigorous efforts by hospital-accrediting agencies to develop standards for care of hospitalized patients, enactment of a law mandating peer review of physicians who are reimbursed under federal programs, and broadening of legislative and administrative regulation of drug prescriptions and clinical research activities have brought home to physicians the concept of accountability for their actions. In malpractice suits, expanded application of the doctrines of informed consent and res ipsa loquitor have reinforced this sense of exposure.
The relevance and the pitfalls of replications: a commentary on “The convergent validity and nomological net of two methods to measure retroactive influences” by Matt C. Howard, 2018
Authors: Tressoldi Patrizio
Published: October 2018

This commentary aims to demonstrate that Howard’s (2018) studies are a neither a “close” nor a “conceptual” replications of Bem’s test of retroactive influence (RI) as far as it concerns task 1 and that all tasks in the three studies can be classified as “very far conceptual replication” of a general class of phenomena classified as forced-choice precognition (conscious cognitive awareness) of a future event that could not otherwise be anticipated through any known inferential or perceptual process. As to the results related to the convergent validity (correlation) between the tasks used to test the RI, we posit that without a measure of intra-task reliability any measure of inter-task reliability is uninterpretable.
Limited resources or limited luck? Why people perceive an illusory negative correlation between the outcomes of choice options despite unequivocal evidence for independence
Authors: Marciano Deborah , Krispin Eden , Bourgeois-Gironde Sacha , Deouell Leon
Published: October 2018

When humans learn of the outcome of an option they did not choose (the alternative outcome), before their own outcome is known, they form biased expectations about their future reward. Specifically, people see an illusory negative correlation between the two outcomes, which we coined the Alternative Omen Effect (ALOE). Why does this happen? Here, we tested several alternative explanations and conclude that the ALOE may derive from a pervasive belief that good luck is a limited resource. In Experiment 1, we show that the ALOE is due to people seeing a good alternative outcome as a bad sign regarding their outcome, but not vice versa. Experiment 2 confirms that the ALOE is a highly ingrained bias that replicates across tasks, and that the ALOE cannot be explained by preconceptions regarding outcome distribution, including 1) the Limited Good Hypothesis (zero-sum bias), according to which people see the world as a zero-sum game, and assume that resources there means fewer resources here, and/or 2) a more specific assumption that laboratory tasks are programmed as zero-sum games. To neutralize these potential beliefs, participants had to draw actual colored beads from two real, distinct bags. In spite of the unequivocal situational evidence of the independence of the two resources, we found a strong ALOE. Finally, in Experiment 3, we tested the Limited Luck Hypothesis: by eliminating the value of the outcomes we eliminated the ALOE. These results suggest that individuals perceive good luck itself, rather than material goods, as a limited resource. We discuss how the Limited Luck belief might explain a wide range of behaviors traditionally associated with the Limited Good belief.

BackgroundThe last comprehensive international systematic review of the incidence of psychotic disorders was published in 2004. New epidemiological data, from different settings, now permit a broader understanding of global variation. We synthesized this literature to examine variation by demographic characteristics and study methodology.MethodsWe followed PRISMA guidelines and registered our systematic review on PROSPERO (ID: CRD42018086800). We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsychInfo and bibliographies, and directly contacted authors, to obtain citations of original research published between 2002 and 2017 on incidence of non-organic adult-onset psychotic disorder. Quality of yield was assessed. Data were evaluated using univariable random-effects meta-analysis, and meta-regression. ResultsFrom 56,721 records, 177 met inclusion criteria. The pooled incidence of all psychotic disorders was 26.6 (95% confidence interval [CI]:22.0-31.7) per 100,000 person-years. Pooled incidence of non-affective disorders was 18.7 (95%CI:14.8-23.7) per 100,000 person-years, and 4.6 (95%CI:3.1-6.8) for affective psychotic disorders. Heterogeneity was high (I2≥99.0%). Men were at higher risk of all psychotic disorders (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 1.44, 95%CI:1.27-1.62) and non-affective disorders (IRR:1.60, 95%CI:1.44-1.87), but not of affective psychotic disorders (IRR:0.87, 95%CI:0.75-1.00). Ethnic minorities were also at excess risk of all psychotic disorders (IRR:1.75, 95%CI:1.53-2.00), including non-affective disorders (IRR:1.71, 95%CI:1.40-2.09). Meta-regression revealed that population registers reported higher rates of non-affective disorders (IRR:9.64, 95%CI:2.72-31.82), schizophrenia (IRR:2.51, 95%CI:1.24-5.21) and bipolar disorder (IRR:4.53, 95%CI:2.41-8.51) than first contact study designs. DiscussionThere is marked variation in incidence of psychotic disorders by personal characteristics and place. Some geographical variation could be partially explained by differences in case ascertainment methods.
Perceived Impact: A Mechanism Underpinning the End-Spurt and U-Shape Pacing Patterns
Authors: Emanuel Aviv
Published: October 2018

The end-spurt and U-shape reflect common pacing patterns across numerous fields. To date, however, the literature lacks a parsimonious, applicable account for these effects. Here, I propose a novel causal explanation for these effects – perceived impact. As one perceives his/her actions to better affect progress within a task, the higher one's motivation. The higher one’s motivation in a given time, the better his/her performance. To illustrate, during a race, if an athlete has five more laps to go, completing a given lap closes 20% of the remaining distance (1/5 laps = 20%). Alternatively, when the athlete has two laps to go, each lap represents 50% of the remaining distance. In the latter case, the impact of completing a single lap on goal progress is perceived to be higher. Accordingly, his/her motivation will increase near the end - giving rise to an end-spurt. I exemplify through simulations how this model can account for previous racing and research outcomes observing end-spurts and U-shaped pacing patterns. In addition to being theoretically insightful, this framework offers practical field implications for coaches and athletes by modifying counting style within sets (e.g., "3, 2, 1" instead of "13, 14, 15"), session outline (e.g., challenging sets in the end, instead of in the middle of the session), etc.
Mladi i ovisnost o internetu – pregled suvremenih spoznaja
Authors: Dodig Hundrić Dora , Ricijaš Neven , Vlček Monika
Published: October 2018

Korištenje interneta sastavni je dio života suvremenog čovjeka, te novija istraživanja kontinuirano govore u prilog tome da dio populacije razvija probleme povezane s prekomjernim korištenjem interneta pri čemu su posebnom riziku izloženi djeca i mladi. Ovisnost o internetu, iako još uvijek nije zasebna dijagnostička kategorija, konceptualno pripada bihevioralnim, odnosno ponašajnim, ovisnostima. Poznavanje ovog kompleksnog fenomena izuzetno je važno stručnjacima koji rade s djecom i mladima. Upravo je stoga cilj ovog preglednog rada pružiti sistematičan i sažet pregled inozemne i domaće stručne i znanstvene literature o ovoj temi. U radu se autori usmjeravaju na terminološka pitanja i definiranje problema, procjenu zastupljenosti problema, fenomenologiju te rizične i zaštitne čimbenike ove potencijalne bihevioralne ovisnosti. Suvremene, dominantno inozemne, spoznaje interpretirane su u kontekstu širenja znanstvenih istraživanja i kreiranja preventivnih i tretmanskih intervencija prema mladima, od redovne populacije do onih s već razvijenim problemima povezanim s prekomjernim korištenjem interneta.
Setting the policy agenda for combating the abuse of new psychoactive substances in the republic of croatia
Authors: Jerković Dijana , Petak Zdravko
Published: October 2018

Although the Early Warning System on New Psychoactive Substances in the Republic of Croatia was established in 2007, the phenomenon of new psychoactive substances only recently began garnering attention. This surge in attention is largely due to reports from other EU countries on intoxications and deaths connected to these, as well as the increased availability of these substances in specialized shops (“smart shops”) and on the internet.
This paper demonstrates the agenda-setting process in relation to the policy for combating new psychoactive substances abuse in Croatia by using the phase model or the policy-cycle model of policy-making process. The agenda-setting phase is characterized by a presentation of a specific problem as an important public policy issue; therefore, the aim of this paper is to discuss activities, circumstances and actors that are important for agenda setting of the policy for combating new psychoactive substances in Croatia.
Factor structure and descriptive characteristics of the Croatian version of the revised Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ-R) as applied in the workplace, on a sample of police officers in the Split-Dalmatia Police District
Authors: Radošević Željka , Britvić Dolores , Tot Boris
Published: October 2018

Mobbing has been recognized as a psychosocial risk to the mental health of employees, but also as an organizational problem that has been the object of attention among scholars in sociological, psychological, medical, and criminologist sciences. This study is the preparatory phase of the implementation of The Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised (NAQ-R, Einarsen, Hoel and Notelaers, 2009)which tests for exposure to harassment in the workplace. The main aim of the study was to determine whether the instruments are applicable to the sample of Croatian employees, by means of testing the factor structure and internal reliability of the said questionnaire. The sample encompassed 209 police officers of both genders in the Split-Dalmatia Police District, and the data were acquired by means of a survey. We used descriptive statistics to show the characteristics of the sample and to analyse the findings, and we tested the factor structure by utilizing principal factor analysis, relying on the Kaiser-Guttman criterion. We tested the internal reliability of the sample with the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient. The results suggest that there is a two-factor structure in the questionnaire, with the first factor referring to harassment aimed at the employee’s personality, and the second factor referring to harassment that is aimed at the employee’s work. Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient shows a high level of reliability (α = 0.959).
Komorbiditet kod ovisnika i tretmanske intervencije
Authors: Butorac Ksenija , Rukav Lorena
Published: October 2018

Zlouporabom ilegalnih droga, ali i prekomjernim uzimanjem legalno propisanih psihofarmaka nastaju štetne posljedice povezane s ozbiljnim javnozdravstvenim problemima, što predstavlja ključno pitanje nacionalne i međunarodne politike suzbijanja ovisnosti o psihoaktivnim sredstvima. Istodobna pojavnost problematične konzumacije droga i psihičkih poremećaja nerijetko stvara težu kliničku sliku i pridružene socijalne teškoće u različitim područjima života osobe radi čega je neophodno usmjeravanje snaga i napora zajednice za njihovo rješavanje. S obzirom na gotovo neznatnu pozornost i relativno oskudne rezultate inozemnih, a osobito domaćih održivih empirijskih istraživanja, kao i općeprihvaćenih stajališta znanstvenika i stručnjaka u pogledu obrazaca, etiologije, dijagnostičkih instrumenata i modela dobre prakse u tretmanu komorbiditeta, cilj ovog rada je pružiti integrirani pregled dosadašnjih istraživanja s kritičkim osvrtom i preporukama uzimajući pritom u obzir slabosti i mogućnosti različitih sustava tretmana ovisnika s komorbidnim poremećajem. Između ostalog, u radu se razmatraju determinante odnosa između psihičkih poremećaja i poremećaja izazvanih zlouporabom droga kroz analizu rizičnih čimbenika. Rad sadrži sustavan pregled dosadašnjih istraživanja koja se odnose na obilježja pojedinih psihičkih poremećaja u komorbiditetu s problematičnom konzumacijom droga te kratki prikaz relevantnih dijagnostičkih instrumenata i modela tretmana za osobe s dualnim poremećajem. Dobiveni podaci ukazuju na znatnu zastupljenost komorbiditeta u ovisničkoj populaciji, a osobito unutar marginalnih skupina, kao i važnost sveukupne procjene bio-psiho-socijalnih obilježja korisnika tretmana. Vezano uz tretman komorbiditeta, teoretičari i praktičari se do danas nisu usuglasili u pogledu modela dobre prakse, bilo da je riječ o farmakološkom i/ili psihosocijalnom tretmanu. Međutim, rezultati novijih istraživanja ukazuju na potrebu provođenja integrativnog pristupa tretmanu koji podrazumijeva farmakološke i psihosocijalne intervencije. U cjelini gledano, istraživanja komorbiditeta kod ovisnika su nedostatna, a u Hrvatskoj gotovo i ne postoje, stoga postoji potreba za daljnjim istraživačkim naporima u ovom području radi poboljšanja provedbe postojećih preventivnih i tretmanskih smjernica.
Biološki i psihosocijalni rizični čimbenici razvoja psihopatije
Authors: Sokić Katarina
Published: October 2018

Cilj ovog rada je pružiti pregled nalaza o biološkim i psihosocijalnim rizičnim čimbenicima razvoja psihopatije. Premda etiologija psihopatije nije u potpunosti rasvijetljena, postoje brojna istraživanja koja pokazuju da psihopatija ima snažnu biološku osnovu koja uključuju genetske i biokemijske hipoteze. U konceptualizaciji etiologije psihopatije važno je razmotriti doprinos genetskih i okolinskih utjecaja, zajedno s kognitivnim, emocionalnim i neurološkim korelatima psihopatije. Istraživanja pokazuju da je trajno antisocijalno ponašanje genetski uvjetovano. Djeca s izraženim osobinama bešćutnosti-bezosjećanosti pokazuju brojne emocionalne i kognitivne značajke odraslih psihopata. Nalazi pokazuju povezanost između psihopatskih osobina ličnosti i izrazitog oštećenja u emocionalnoj i stresnoj reaktivnosti što ukazuje da su psihopatske značajke povezane s neurokognitivnim deficitima u emocionalnom učenju. S obzirom na istraživanja koja pokazuju da je roditeljstvo povezano s razvojem psihopatskih značajki kod djece, u radu se analizira i priroda odnosa te smjer povezanosti pojedinih obiteljskih varijabli i roditeljstva (tj. kvaliteta rane veze između djeteta i roditelja, privrženosti, fizičkog kažnjavanja, zanemarivanja djeteta).
Processions for Mother Earth: Scenes from a Flooded Summer
Authors: Levine Gabriel
Published: October 2018

In Toronto in the summer of 2017, during a season of flooding and heightened Canadian nationalism, two processional performances honoured the land and water’s sustaining ecology. Freedom Tours, a multi-site performance by the artists Cheryl L’Hirondelle and Camille Turner, was part of the LandMarks2017/Repères2017 project, in which artists created interventions in Canada’s national parks. Freedom Tours featured an alternative boat tour of the Thousand Islands National Park highlighting Indigenous and African-diasporic histories and futures, and a procession through Scarborough’s Rouge River Urban National Park in which local youth were invited to speak to Mother Earth. The Toronto Island Fire Parade, a community lantern procession with a puppet and shadow performance by Shadowland Theatre, continued its long-running participatory tradition, but without a culminating bonfire on the beach. The parade welcomed visitors from the city to celebrate the power of water, and offered thanks to the community for its mutual aid and resilience after the spring floods. Linking these two projects together allows for a deeper understanding of their contrasting ecologies and choreographies of assembly, which gather humans and other creatures into renewed relation, inviting gratitude to the land and water—to Mother Earth.
Assembling Collaboration in the Debris Field: From Psychogeography to Choreographies of Assembly
Authors: Luka Mary Elizabeth
Published: October 2018

Between 2012 and 2017, Nova Scotia-based Narratives in Space + Time Society (NiS+TS) brought together more than 100 collaborators and hundreds of participants in several public art walks for Walking the Debris Field: Public Geographies of the Halifax Explosion. Through co-creation, including strategies of collaboration and sensorial storytelling in an embodied practice of creative citizenship, NiS+TS was able to generate—in time for the centenary of the devastating 1917 explosion in the Halifax harbour—a choreographed assembly that ably juxtaposed missing memories, histories, legacies, and present-day possibilities. Until the last few years, very few of the stories about the explosion and its aftermath included Mi’kmaq, working-class, immigrant, or African Nova Scotian experiences, even though these were communities deeply affected by the explosion. The first NiS+TS public art walk offering experiences of these stories drew fifty people, while the final attracted almost 200. The Debris Field events also resulted in the production of new forms of storytelling, including a free iOS app, ‘Drifts,’ and a shared website with the City of Halifax in time for the centenary ( intothedebrisfield.ca/ ). The kind of embedded, grounded power reflected in projects like Debris Field came through the growing assemblies of participants engendered by NiS+TS. The coordinated movements of such large bodies of people through spaces on which certain communities have been built, and from which other communities have been erased, makes more pertinent, and far less abstract, the deeply sedimented histories of class, gender, race, and mobility/ability in the city.
Border Score | Choreographies of Crip and Mad Travel
Authors: Eales Lindsay , Peers Danielle
Published: October 2018

This choreographic script explores the movement possibilities and imperatives that come of travelling by air across the Canada–US border. In particular, it demonstrates the differential scores navigated by normates (those for whom airline travel is primarily designed) and by the specific Crip-Mad duet embodied by the authors. The script draws from Crip and Mad theory, disability studies, and duo-ethnographic methods to explore the complexities and ingenuities of mobilizing through and within the spaces and procedures of airline travel while crip and/or Mad.
Black Lives Matter Toronto: Urgency as Choreographic Necessity
Authors: Diverlus Rodney
Published: October 2018

Drawing on his experience as co-founder and core organizer of Black Lives Matter Toronto (BLMTO), dancer and choreographer Rodney Diverlus dissects the choreographic elements of a new era of Black resistance. Here, he focuses on the racial politics of assembly as it relates to Black liberation struggles both historically and in a post-Trayvon Martin present. Black-centric direct action is deliberate about its use of space and intentional about the physical interventions made by Black bodies in that space. This article examines BLMTO’s protest tactics—including gestures like ‘Hands up, Don’t shoot’ and the Black power fist, physicalized and embodied chants, and the deliberate disruption of public spaces—as models for effective and informed activism. It examines these movements as a continued lineage of successful choreographies of Black political assembly. Diverlus explores André Lepecki’s concept of choreopolicing (whereby the police assert control of protestors) and positions it in stark contrast to Black-centric politichoreography, which uses distinct Black protest movement vocabularies to resist the state apparatus and police violence. Diverlus looks at BLMTO’s use of these gestures and choreographed direct actions as both narrative symbols and embodied rallying points to bring together a raging community. Through these tactics, BLMTO poses and simultaneously answers the question: whose streets? BLMTO uses Black bodies—the very bodies marginalized and discarded by the state—as sites of power that unapologetically challenge not only the ownership of public space, but also the control of Black bodies in that space.
Pop-Up Art and the Aesthetics of Assembly
Authors: MacDonald Shana
Published: October 2018

This article considers the phenomenon of pop-up practice as a medium of public art and collective assembly. I argue for the pedagogical potential of the research-creation pop-up to situate aesthetic contributions as relevant and necessary to broader public discourse. Discussing a series of case studies developed through the Mobile Art Studio, a transitory creative lab space that I founded in 2014, I consider how the pop-up becomes the vehicle for brief, carnivalesque transformations of institutional settings toward critical ends. The pop-up’s performative assemblies open up provisional and contingent understandings between audiences, artists, and participants. What remains from them is the memory of a lived, embodied experience of knowledge production and translation outside traditional institutional confines. The article speaks to the pop-up as a pedagogical and research-creation tool; throughout, I explore the possibilities for resistance offered by the pop-up within the spatial and temporal contexts of late capitalism.
The Kinaesthetic Landscape of Toronto Caribbean Carnival: Transforming the Road into a Stage
Authors: Taucar Jacqueline
Published: October 2018

Caribbean Carnival’s kinaesthetic intervention on Toronto’s Lake Shore Boulevard transgresses the official knowledge and bourgeois morality of this location, defamiliarizing conventional understandings of how the Lake Shore space is produced, and who it privileges. Since its inception fifty years ago, Toronto Caribbean Carnival has grown in scope and size, drawing over a million spectators to watch over 20,000 masqueraders in bands create what I call a kinaesthetic landscape of colour as they wine and dance in their elaborate costumes called mas for almost 3.5 kilometres on the Lake Shore Boulevard. The Grand Parade presents an opportunity for marginalized bodies, specifically the bodies of women of colour, to seize the public space of the streets and perform a new located space: one that groups of mas players personally and affectively identify, experience, and perceive differently. This article explores how the combination of spectacle and performative techniques such as ‘chipping and wining’ can create an affective alliance with the audience on the Lake Shore. In particular, I examine how the spontaneous choreographies and citation of physical ‘Caribbean’ idioms create shared experience, feelings, and movements that challenge the conventional understandings of the space in which it is performed.
Integrating Accessibility and Aesthetics Onstage in Neworld Theatre’s King Arthur’s Night
Authors: Johnson Megan
Published: October 2018

Co-created by Niall McNeil and Marcus Youssef of Vancouver’s Neworld Theatre, King Arthur’s Night is the inventive retelling of the tale of King Arthur. This ‘play with music’ features professional actors alongside community actors from the Down Syndrome Research Foundation in Burnaby, BC. In developing this show with an integrated cast, Neworld prioritized accessibility throughout the development, rehearsal, and production phases of the show, transforming functional practices of accessibility into artistic material for the performance. This article explores how King Arthur’s Night approaches the unification of accessibility and aesthetics and surveys a selection of moments from the production that illustrate this approach, highlighting how it serves to impact the show’s affective, theatrical, and narrative aesthetic.

Kurzfassung

Vor dem Hintergrund steigender Komplexität im Supply-Chain-Management (SCM) kristallisiert sich der Ansatz des Serious-Gamings als zunehmend relevantes Instrument für das Herbeiführen eines besseren Verständnisses von Geschäftsprozessen heraus. Insbesondere Führungskräfte aus dem SCM machen sich immer häufiger die Vorteile der spielerischen Simulation des Materialflusses zunutze. Hierbei zeigt sich u. a. das „MIT Beer-Distribution-Game“ als ein bewährter Ansatz, welcher den Bullwhip-Effekt adressiert und dessen Ursachen am Beispiel einer vierstufigen Logistikkette verdeutlicht.

Published: October 2018

Biological big data represents a vast amount of data in bioinformatics and this could lead to the transformation of the research pattern into large scale. In medical research, a large amount of data can be generated from tools including genomic sequencing machines. The availability of advanced tools and modern technology has become the main reason for the expansion of biological data in a huge amount. Such immense data should be utilized in an efficient manner in order to distribute this valuable information. Besides that, storing and dealing with those big data has become a great challenge as the data generation are tremendously increasing over years. As well, the blast of data in healthcare systems and biomedical research appeal for an immediate solution as health care requires a compact integration of biomedical data. Thus, researchers should make use of this available big data for analysis rather than keep creating new data as they could provide meaningful information with the use of current advanced bioinformatics tools.

Published: October 2018

The paper presents results of the study on the effect of naphthenic acid and its ester with polypropylene glycol on viscosity and fluidity of emulgated oils found in Apsheronneft deposits. It is shown that naphthenic acid in the amount of 200–500 g/t and the naphthenic acid ester in the amount of 20–80 g/t allows reducing the viscosity of emulgated oils to 25.0 % at low temperatures. With increasing temperature, the change in emulgated oil viscosity reduces due to the addition of chemical reagents. The treatment of the pipe surface with phosphoruscontaining polyester positively influences the emulsion flow.

Bu yazıda temel duygulardan biri olan öfkenin gerek günlük yaşantıda gerekse psikoterapi sürecinde tanımlanması, tanınması, ifadesi ve mekanizmasının hem terapi alan kişi hem de terapist açısından anlamlandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Pek çok farklı disiplinlerce ve psikoloji literatüründe de farklı yönleriyle tanımlanan öfkeye dair anlayışlara göz atıldığında öfkenin engellenme, haksızlık, tehdit edilme ile ilintili olduğu, ahlaki bir muhakeme içerebileceği, dürtülerden bağımsız olmadığı ve evrimsel olarak da yaşamsal değeri olan, çoğu zaman bir kişi ya da nesneye yönelen bir duygu olduğu görülmektedir. Öfke çeşitli boyutlarda yaşanabileceği gibi ifadesi de çok çeşitlidir. Haset, utanç, suçluluk, üzüntü, içerleme, nefret gibi duygularla bağlantılı ve katmanlı şekilde ortaya çıkan öfkeyi kavramsallaştırmada birden fazla teorik yaklaşımdan yararlanılabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada evrimsel, sosyal inşacı, bilişsel ve psikanalitik bakış açılarının öfkeye yönelik anlayışına kısaca değinilmiş, ardından vaka örnekleriyle öfkenin mekanizması ve öfkenin psikopatoloji oluşumundaki rolü çözümlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu örnekler temel olarak öfkenin nesnesine yöneltilememesi ile farklı nesnelere yansıtılması ve kendine yönelen öfkenin problemli hale gelmesini içermektedir. Öfkeyi anlama çabasında, son aşamada terapi ilişkisinde öfkenin ortaya çıkışı ağırlıklı olarak terapistteki öfkeye odaklanarak incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda özellikle toplumsal beklentiler ve alandaki yeni terapistlerin “iyi terapist olma” fikrinin etkisiyle öfkeyi bastırmanın işlevsizliği ve öfkeyi kabul etmenin, dolayısıyla çözümlemenin önemine işaret edilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Published: October 2018

Context: The biopsy of cervix can be obtained by various methods with availability of newer modalities like loop electrode. Objectives: To compare the histo-pathological parameters and clinical outcome of cervical biopsy obtained using punch biopsy forceps versus loop electrode. Methods: Women attending OPD were screened for cervical pathology, and colposcopy was done for those who screened positive. Patients who required cervical biopsy after colposcopy were allocated into 2 group; one undergoing LEEP biopsy and other half biopsied with Punch forceps. During procedure patients were evaluated for the intra-op pain and bleeding and their severity. The histo- pathological diagnosis was carried out and the sample was studied for its size, adequacy, and presence of any thermal or crush artefacts. Result: The two methods of biopsy were comparable in intra-op parameters, except for the increased requirement for additional haemostasis in LEEP biopsy. There was no case of bleeding from biopsy site at the follow-up visit. LEEP biopsy was  associated with continued vaginal discharge more often than punch biopsy. An adequate sample for histopathological diagnosis was obtained in 91.25% of all cases.  The comparative findings were reflective of comparable efficacy of both methods in providing an acceptable tissue sample for diagnosis. Conclusion: After analysing and comparing the aforementioned parameters, we opined that neither method can be deemed clearly superior to the other as a cervical biopsy procedure.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the applicability and predictive accuracy of an isoinertial resistance machine for the assessment of hamstring/quadriceps conventional (concentric) ratio (CR).

METHOD: Thirty-two resistance trained young men (23.53 ± 3.2 yrs) were tested using dedicated instruments to obtain the peak torque (PT) of the right knee extensors and flexors as well as the corresponding one repetition maximum (1RM) values. All measurements were conducted in the concentric mode.

RESULTS: Significant (p< 0.05) correlations were indicated between knee extensor and flexor PT and 1RM values (r=0.73 to 0.75), as well as between PT and 1RM CR values (r=0.65). However the isoinertial CR values (0.42 ± 0.05) were significantly (p< 0.05) greater than their isokinetic counterparts(0.36 ± 0.04).

CONCLUSION: Caution should be used when comparing isoinertial CR with population-specific isokinetic normative scores.
Conversion of grip strength scores between Jamar dynamometer and a modified sphygmomanometer in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: Ugurlu Ü. , Özdogan H.
Published: October 2018

BACKGROUND: Jamar dynamometer and modified sphygmomanometer(SphM) are used to evaluate grip strength (GS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their scores are not interchangeable.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to describe the intertrial reliability of grip strength measures obtained with Jamar dynamometer and an SphM, and delineate the relationship of the measures obtained with these two instruments when they were used in patients with RA.

METHODS: Patients were eligible volunteers among 74 consecutive patients with definite diagnosis of RA. The data from 61 patients were analyzed. Student's t test was used to compare GS means of the male and female patients. Intertrial reliability was examined using one-way repeated measures ANOVA and intraclass correlation coefficients. The relationship between the measures was established using Pearson correlation coefficients and inverse regression analysis. The latter allowed the generation of conversion tables.

RESULTS: GS means were not significantly different between the genders. Both instruments demonstrated excellent intertrial reliabilities. No significant difference was observed among the trials with each instrument. There was a strong relationship between the instruments' scores. This relationship was proven to be linear. Conversion equations were calculated based on the instruments' scores.

CONCLUSION: Clinicians now have a table to convert hand strength scores between Jamar dynamometer and an SphM, and can determine the deviation from the normal in patients with RA.

BACKGROUND: There are alterations in strength in relation to menstrual cycle phase but little data attributing these responses to female sex hormone levels using a pseudo-menstrual cycle group as control.

OBJECTIVE: Examining the effects of menstrual cycle phase on the development of peak torque across a range of isokinetic speeds.

METHOD: 17 well trained females, 11 formed the non-oral contraceptive group (n-OC) (age 20.7± 1.4 yrs, mass 59.2 ± 6.9 kg, height 166.8 ± 7.1 cm) and 6 the oral contraceptive control group (OC) (age 20.3 ± 0.5 yrs, mass 60.5 ± 4.2 kg, height 164.8 ± 4.8 cm). Concentric strength of the knee flexors and extensors (60–240°/s) was assessed, corresponding to menstruation(MEN), mid-follicular (mFOL), mid-luteal (mLUT) and pre-menstrual (pMEN).

RESULTS: For n-OC significant decreases in peak torque production of the extensors at 120°/s (P=0.0207) (MEN) and of the flexors at 60°/s (P=0.0116) (MEN) and 120°/s (P=0.0282) (MEN) were observed compared to pMEN. No significant differences were observed across any menstrual cycle phase and peak torque for the OC group (p> 0.05). Significant positive correlations were observed (mLUT) between peak torque and oestrogen at 60°/s (P=0.040) and 120°/s (P=0.031).

CONCLUSIONS: There are significant fluctuations in peak torque of the knee extensors in response to phases of the menstrual cycle associated with variances in the female sex hormones. The findings have implications for the planning of strength training in female athletes.
