Observations sur les sculpteurs de statuettes religieuses du Hunan
Authors: Bussotti Michela
Published: September 2018

Occasionally, in a context in which information is sparse, exceptions arise. Since ancient times, Chinese woodworkers have, in certain circumstances, appended their signatures to the items they produced. This is, for example, true of engravers of printing plates who were sometimes obliged to account for their work, make claims for their artistic skill, etc. It is also true of sculptors of religious statues in Hunan, whose signatures implied a degree of "technical" competence not only in terms of woodworking but also of religious knowledge (consecration rituals, funeral rites, etc.). The inventory of these artisans in three collections of statuettes is remarkable for both its wealth and precision: all the names are accompanied by dates and places. However, a problem remains—how can this information be made to "speak" about ordinary people when traditional historical sources are obviously lacking. The article focuses on contemporary materials, which provide information about present-day practices and shed retrospective light on what such practices may have been in the past, before moving on to a comparative analysis of the data drawn from the statuettes and their certificates of consecration, ranging from the 16th to the 20th centuries. The "portraits" of the sculptors remain imprecise and the ancient secrets of the "profession" obscure—but how could it be otherwise for a practice reserved to initiates? However, the article does succeed in describing the role of the sculptors, a role as important as that of other "actors" presented in this volume, within the ambit of a local rural society in which religion is a central part of life and gives structure to the social network.
One-pot synthesis of epoxides from benzyl alcohols and aldehydes
Authors: Alfonzo Edwin , Mendoza Jesse W L , Beeler Aaron B
Published: September 2018

A one-pot synthesis of epoxides from commercially available benzyl alcohols and aldehydes is described. The reaction proceeds through in situ generation of sulfonium salts from benzyl alcohols and their subsequent deprotonation for use in Corey–Chaykovsky epoxidation of aldehydes. The generality of the method is exemplified by the synthesis of 34 epoxides that were made from an array of electronically and sterically varied alcohols and aldehydes.
Un enfoque de los Formatos Común y Conciso para la construcción de una curva maestra para generar valores de extensión de grieta en probetas C(T)
Authors: Donoso Juan R. , Landes John D. , De Barbieri Flavio
Published: September 2018

La construcción de curvas J-R para un material dúctil, acorde con la Norma ASTM E1820-15 (2015), requiere de información del proceso de extensión estable de grieta. Según la Norma, la curva de resistencia puede ser obtenida de un ensayo con solo una probeta, en el cual el tamaño de grieta es medido simultáneamente con fuerza y desplazamiento por los métodos de cambios de flexibilidad, caída de potencial, y normalización. Basándose en los Formatos Común y Conciso, Donoso y Landes desarrollaron la “ley de crecimiento de grieta” y el “método del intercepto” como alternativas para obtener tamaños de grieta de un ensayo que exhibe extensión estable de grieta, pero del cual se dispone solo de datos fuerza-desplazamiento, y tamaños de grieta inicial y final. Ambos métodos alternativos se ven complementados por la construcción de una curva maestra, basada en estos Formatos, aplicada a probetas C(T) en las cuales los valores experimentales de extensión de grieta son insuficientes para producir una curva J-R válida.
Les neurosciences : un relatif désintérêt des citoyens pour un sujet encore perçu comme prospectif
Authors: Bourdaire-Mignot Camille , Gründler Tatiana
Published: September 2018

États généraux de la bioéthique (rapport de synthèse du Comité consultatif national d’éthique) : sixième billet*Les neurosciences « constituent une vaste famille de disciplines de soin et de recherche, rassemblant des spécialités cliniques (neurologie, psychiatrie, neurochirurgie, etc.) et fondamentales. Elles concernent l’étude du fonctionnement du système nerveux depuis ses aspects les plus élémentaires (…) jusqu’à ceux, plus fonctionnels, qui portent sur les comportements et les processus mentaux ». Grâce aux nouvelles techniques d’imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM), les méthodes d’exploration du cerveau se sont nettement améliorées. Les progrès des neurosciences se sont aussi manifestés par le développement de techniques biomédicales de modification du fonctionnement cérébral. Et les scientifiques s’intéressent désormais au couplage entre l’intelligence artificielle et les applications des neurosciences tels que des dispositifs permettant d’établir une communication directe entre le cerveau d’un individu et un ordinateur ou un robot. La thématique, qui n’a suscité que peu de débats en région (3) et assez peu d’auditions (11 associations, institutions et courants de pensée et 2 sociétés savantes seulement : la Société des Neurosciences et l’Académie Nationale de Médecine – ANM –), a donné lieu à davantage de questions que de préconisations, les potentialités d’application étant sans doute encore trop nouvelles ou pas encore identifiées avec suffisamment de précision. Le sujet ne devrait pas donner lieu à d’importantes modifications ni innovations dans la future loi bioéthique.

Authors: Elturki Faris Ahmed Abdulfatah , Ali Shaban Ismael Albrka
Published: September 2018

Incessant of transportation demand growth in developing countries in latest years has led to several traffic issues in city areas, among the most challenging ones are vehicular emission, traffic congestion, and accidents. The growth of transportation demand has great influences, and very unfortunate impact on the society regarding crashes, death, and injuries from road accidents have reached epidemic proportions worldwide. The variation increased in speeds and vehicle density resulted in high exposure to accidents which lead loss of life and permanent disability, injury, and damage to property. This paper classified and investigate the most critical factors affect road traffic accidents (RTAs) in Tripoli the capital city of Libya. Four main categories were chosen to build the questionnaire, namely; human factors, road factors, vehicle factors and environmental factors. Moreover, a quantitative method was used to collect the data from the field, 400 respondents include; drivers, pedestrian and passengers were the sample size of the questionnaire and relative importance index (RII) were used for classification of one group and among all groups. The results show that more than 84%of respondents considered the over speeding as the most significant factor cusses of RTAs among all groups, while 81% considered the disobedience to driving code such as children who are playing with the car on the road as the most influential factor in human factors group. Also, nearly 74% of respondents seeing that poor brakes or brake failure factor has a high and considerable impact on the RTAs among the vehicle factors. Regarding the road factors group, 79% of the respondents ranked poor or no street lighting factor as one of the most effective factors on RTAs in road factors and third effecting factor concerning all factors, on the other hand, the environmental factors have the slights impacts compared with other factors.
An Approach for the Evaluation of a Product's Process Planning during the Design Phase through a Group Multi-Criteria Decision-Making
Authors: Guini Fatimazahra , El Barkany Abdellah , Jabri Abdelouahhab , Irhirane El Hassan
Published: September 2018

The process planning of a product represents in the manufacturing industry a major element that determines the level of economic performance of the company. The development and evaluation of process planning during the industrialization phase of a product can cause problems of quality, cost or manufacturing time. Therefore, process planning needs to be evaluated early, during the design phase. The aim of this article is to propose to a manufacturing company a hybrid approach of multicriterion decision support, allowing evaluating the concepts proposed by the designer to choose the best concept having the best industrial performance indicators, and to take into account the opinions of experts from different departments of the company. The multicriterion choice is made by the hybridization of the ROC method and the PROMETHEE method, and the decision criteria are indicators that express the performance of a process planning. Then, to illustrate the capacity of the model, a case study of a product is presented.
The Main Regularities of Ignition and Combustion of Coal-Water Fuels Produced from Fat, Non-Baking Coal and Anthracite
Authors: Pinchuk Valeriya
Published: September 2018

For the purpose of defining the regularities of CWF combustion in the air, we have conducted experimental research into ignition and combustion of the fuels produced from coal of different metamorphic ranks. The studies allowed to obtain time-temperature correlations describing CWF ignition and combustion, to determine the stages of the combustion process, to define the structure of the ash coating, and the degree of the fuel combustible mass burnout. The present paper analyses the results of experimental research into the regularities underlying the processes of ignition and combustion for CWF (fat coal), CWF (non-baking coal), and CWF (anthracite).It was established that the oven medium temperature affects the duration of every CWF combustion stage, which was substantiated by the relevant dependencies resulting from the experimental data processing.

Published: September 2018

Ozone is a strong oxidant, highly unstable atmospheric gas. Its medical use at low concentrations has been progressively increasing as an alternative/adjuvant treatment for several diseases. In this study, we investigated the effects of mild ozonisation on human adipose-derived adult stem (hADAS) cells i.e., mesenchymal stem cells occurring in the stromal-vascular fraction of the fat tissue and involved in the tissue regeneration processes. hADAS cells were induced to differentiate into the adipoblastic lineage, and the effect of low ozone concentrations on the adipogenic process was studied by combining histochemical, morphometric and ultrastructural analyses. Our results demonstrate that ozone treatment promotes lipid accumulation in hADAS without inducing deleterious effects, thus paving the way to future studies aimed at elucidating the effect of mild ozonisation on adipose tissue for tissue regeneration and engineering.
Assessing augmented reality in helping undergraduate students to integrate 2D and 3D representations of stereochemistry
Authors: Berson Matan , Ng Derek , Shin Jumi , Jenkinson Jodie
Published: September 2018

Organic chemistry students exhibit greatdifficulty grasping stereochemistry and chemicalbond hybridization concepts. The 2Drepresentations of molecules presented to themin lectures and exams serve as tools forcommunication between professional chemists.However, these students’ ability to link themolecular formulas, 2D pictures, geometricstructures, and molecular characteristics hasrepeatedly been found challenging. 2Ddepictions, physical model sets, and 3Dcomputer models are currently used inclassrooms and courses in an attempt to tacklethe problem of tying the 2D representations tothe 3D stereochemistry properties but eachtool falls short in one aspect or another. In thepresent study, we examine how an augmentedreality (AR) mobile app combining 2D and 3Drepresentations may be used to supportunderstanding of these concepts.
Does American Stock Market React Differently to Expected Versus Surprise Ratings During Crisis Period? The Case of the 2008 Worldwide Financial Crisis
Authors: Boudriga Abdelkader , Ghachem Dorsaf Azouz
Published: September 2018

We study the rating impact on American stock market during crisis period by distinguishing expected versus surprise announcements. If unexpected ratings generate stronger reaction than expected ones, which means that rating agencies maintain credibility and influence on investors’ decisions. Otherwise, they have to revise their methodologies and procedures in order to recover place on financial markets. Results show that during crisis period market reaction to bad and neutral expected rating announcements is negative and more accentuated than reaction to surprise announcements; on contrary to good news that produce a short positive impact when they are unexpected and are not perceived by the market otherwise. Results reflect once more market distrust to rating agencies and faith loss towards announcements.
Balanced scorecard method for healthcare quality improvement: A critical analysis
Authors: Al-Hanawi Mohammed Khaled
Published: September 2018

Throughout the world there is an on-going effort to determine quality in healthcare settings. The very definition of “quality”, particularly in healthcare, is rather elusive. The aim of this critique is to analyze the Balance Scorecard method to measure quality as it relates to patient safety in healthcare organisations. Analysis of the Balanced Scorecard in this context determined that the objectivity, both in its measurements and its ability to link together the organization’s quality and financial goals, is indeed beneficial. However, this methodology was also found to be unduly focused on systems and administration rather than on the actual health and safety of patients. The result is a tool that measures “quality” in financial and organizational terms, as sought by healthcare management, and this will continue to be the case until there is a fundamental shift towards defining quality of healthcare in terms of the patients that utilize healthcare services.

Authors: Alghamdi Etab S. , Farrash Morooj S. , Bakarman Marwan A. , Mukhtar Abdel Moniem
Published: September 2018

BACKGROUND: Living with the family at home or away from it at the university dorm might affect the behavior of students, including their dietary habits. The aim of this study was to assess the differences in dietary habits between Saudi undergraduate students living with their families and those living at university dorms.METHODS: A cross-sectional study done at six Saudi universities. We recruited 354 undergraduate students. A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, dietary habits, physical activities, perceived body weight and gastro-intestinal symptoms. Differences between students living at home with their families and those living on campus at university dorms were assessed using the chi-squared test. RESULTS: Three quarters of our sample were female (77%). Almost 80% of the students lived with their families. Change in dietary habits after joining the university was significantly more common among students living at university dorms (p< 0.001). Major changes in dietary habits were found in 68.6% of students living at home with their families and in 31.4% of those living at university dorms. Moreover, we found significant difference between students living with their families and those living at university dorms, regarding place of breakfast (p= 0.003), place of lunch (p< 0.001), place of dinner (p= 0.002) and perceived body weight (p= 0.018).CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Most of the students were living with their families. However, students living at university dorms were at higher risk of unhealthy change in their dietary habits. More nutritional interventions to enhance the health of students should be introduced.

El potencial de la música rap para explorar las experiencias en la ciudad de jóvenes migrantes: análisis de la producción musical de Rxnde Akozta
Authors: Corona Victor , Aliagas Marin Cristina
Published: September 2018

En este artículo exploramos la intersección entre música rap, migraciones y ciudad. Planteamos las letras de música rap en su condición de fuente de relato personal y las usamos como recurso para acercarnos a la experiencia de los jóvenes migrantes en las ciudades que habitan. Partiendo de este planteamiento, analizamos la producción musical del cantante de rap cubano Rxnde Akozta a partir de las cuatro ciudades principales donde ha vivido: Habana, Helsinki, Caracas y Barcelona. El análisis de la interrelación música-ciudad muestra que: a) las vivencias en la ciudad tienen una influencia cabal en la experiencia de vida de rapers migrantes y que éstas les sirven de inspiración para sus canciones; en el caso de Rxnde la ciudad es un contexto o tópico recurrente de su poética expresiva, y b) las características de cada ciudad tienen una incidencia importante en el tipo de audiencia-target que los músicos construyen, que en el caso de Rxnde evoluciona de una audiencia cubana, a otra latina, a una más internacional.
Soñar el porvenir, un acto de creación infantil
Authors: Brisson Fernande Marie Françoise
Published: September 2018

Este trabajo muestra los resultados de una investigación-intervención para Soñar el porvenir. Su peculiaridad consistió en crear situaciones de indagación para visibilizar los imaginarios instituidos restrictivos en el soñar, por los arraigos materiales y simbólicos de las condiciones sociales, culturales y económicas de vulnerabilidad en los niños y niñas.La investigación-intervención se realizó entre 2014 y 2016 durante los últimos grados de Primaria, en una escuela vespertina ubicada en una zona marginal-industrial en Cuernavaca, Morelos, México.Se sostiene que el acto de creación de escenarios de porvenir en el infante potencia su transitar de la niñez a la adultez, mediante procesos que operan como recursos para establecer un proyecto de vida. El trabajo consistió en diseñar cada situación para indagar los modos de percibir el mundo y, simultáneamente, imaginar escenas de porvenir. Así los ángulos de investigación-intervención al articularse dislocan cánones convencionales de investigación. Cada situación al encadenarse tácticamente produjo trayectorias de configuración para un imaginario radical (Castoriadis, 2002) que desplegaron sueños de porvenir.
Media Archaeology: a viable discipline or a valuable symptom?
Authors: Elsaesser Thomas
Published: September 2018

For nearly one hundred years, the moving image has been discussed primarily from the perspective of photography, by organising our questions and theories around cinema as an ocular dispositif, based on light, projection and transparency, or as a recording dispositif, based on index, imprint and trace. In the age of digital imaging technologies, some of which have little to do with optics, such a history of the moving image seems too narrowly conceived.

The broadly based, if loosely defined research field of “media archaeology” not only locates cinema within more comprehensive media histories, it also investigates apparently obsolete, overlooked or poorly understood past media practices. The expectation is that by once more “opening up” these pasts, one can also enable or envisage a different future. The question then arises: is media archaeology a (viable) disciplinary subject or also a (valuable) symptom of changes in our ideas of history, causality and contingency?
Los tres panópticos. Análisis de las modulaciones del poder y las formas visuales de control entre la Modernidad y el siglo XXI
Authors: Mallamaci Marco Germán
Published: September 2018

A partir de la Modernidad, con el avance de los dispositivos disciplinares del biopoder, se conforman dinámicas de subjetivación que explotan la dimensión de la visibilidad como herramienta de control. Luego de que Foucault conceptualizara el panoptismo como el principio de una anatomía política, diversos autores han extendido la categoría para analizar los modelos totalitarios o las nuevas formas de control cibernético. Este trabajo expone un análisis de las funcionalidades del poder desde el concepto de panoptismo. La tesis que se propone busca diferenciar tres etapas de la era moderna, en las cuales se han configurado diversos modos de panoptismo. Los principios del panóptico configuraron el ejercicio del poder a partir del siglo XVIII: el control, la disciplina, la vigilancia y la centralización fueron sus ejes. Tres formas de panoptismos han marcado los últimos tres siglos: 1) el panóptico clásico de Bentham, 2) la trama de control de la sociedad de masas del siglo XX y 3) el panóptico digital del siglo XXI. El texto busca analizar los principios de cada uno de ellos. La exposición se divide en tres módulos: en primer lugar, se introducen categorías generales sobre las relaciones entre lo político, el poder, la idea de dispositivo y el concepto de panoptismo; en segundo lugar, se delimitan y analizan los tres panópticos; y, por último, se enfocan ciertos elementos específicos que marcan la complejidad del tercer panóptico y el horizonte del siglo XXI.
Relaciones complejas en el mundo material viajero
Authors: Golovátina-Mora Polina
Published: September 2018

El presente artículo revisa las historias de identidades personales y colectivas a partir de entrevistas a profundidad a cinco participantes. Los entrevistados generalmente expresan la dificultad de definir su identidad en los términos establecidos; sin embargo, tienen un sentido de la dirección hacia la que sus identidades se transforman: sus objetivos, sueños, aspiraciones o espiritualidad, por nombrar algunos. El artículo revisa el entendimiento de la identidad desde la perspectiva relacional; mientras se enfoca en las relaciones con los sujetos no humanos y no vivos. Como nómadas, los entrevistados confirman que no desarrollan apegos duraderos a los objetos; pero sus historias de vida revelan los anclajes materiales que eligen en la construcción de sus identidades a través de sus prácticas cotidianas. La cotidianidad, como parte del mundo material, es el entorno más adecuado para un estudio crítico de las prácticas sociales, las emociones, las relaciones y las experiencias en su diversidad. La identidad aparece como una transformación, un cambio, un juego constante de diferencias que se desafían entre sí, se reconfirman y se reconstruyen mutuamente.

Digital Single Market: a long way to go
Authors: Elam Viola
Published: September 2018

This paper provides an overall assessment of recent initiatives devised by the European Commission as part of the Digital Single Market Strategy (“DSMS”) and beyond. A connecting thread running through various policy documents and legislative proposals is the principle of copyright territoriality. Copyright’s territorial nature is identified as a great hindrance to the establishment and smooth functioning of an internal market for digital content and services, since it contributes to the cumbersomeness of rights clearance, territorial exclusivity and geo-blocking practices. Nonetheless, the initial policy options, geared towards a substantial erosion of copyright territoriality, have not been articulated in concrete legislative measures. The Commission has finally opted for a considerably less ambitious approach, which purports to mitigate some minor side effects of territoriality. The proposal seeking to mandate full accessibility of content across the EU was watered down to accommodate concerns expressed by the majority of stakeholders in the creative industry. The efforts to tackle geo-blocking are not addressed to providers of audio-visual content and copyright-protected works. The extension of the “country of origin” principle is limited to services ancillary to broadcasts. Likewise, cross-border “portability” of content does not offer a real solution to dismantling national barriers in the European digital environment. Hence, copyright will remain territorially grounded and a full integration of markets for creative content will not become a reality, at least in the near future. This paper discusses the potential lack of continuity between the overarching aims expressed in the DSMS and subsequent legislative steps, and criticises the use of terminology leading to legal uncertainty. The newly introduced neighbouring right for press publishers might represent an additional source of territorial fragmentation. The (general monitoring) obligation imposed on information society service providers requires strict scrutiny. This paper, however, values the adoption of regulations, entailing a deeper level of harmonisation, and the provision of mandatory exceptions and limitations
La obligación de relacionarse electrónicamente con la Administración y sus escasas garantías
Authors: Cotino Hueso Lorenzo
Published: September 2018

La nueva Ley 39/2015 concibe a la Administración por defecto como e-Administración y da una vuelta de tuerca a la obligación de relacionarse por medios electrónicos. Con la nueva ley, la Administración ha de ser electrónica por defecto y no es necesario el consentimiento de la ciudadanía para la relación electrónica. Aunque se tiene derecho a elegir y cambiar el canal presencial o electrónico, se puede presumir dicha elección. Hemos pasado del derecho a la obligación de comunicarse electrónicamente con la administración, casi por defecto. Se analiza la posibilidad de imponer la relación electronicaelectrónica a través de norma reglamentaria bajo determinados requisitos y presupuestos materiales. No obstante, ni la ley ni los tribunales son exigentes ni garantistas, frente a lo que el autor apuesta por garantías ante posibles discriminaciones o indefensiones que puedan darse. Asimismo se analiza el hecho de que algunos colectivos estén obligados «en todo caso» por la ley a relacionarse electrónicamente, y precisamente todos los obligados a la relación electrónica no tienen derecho a ser asistidos. Finalmente se observan las consecuencias del incumplimiento del deber de relacionarse electrónicamente, que ha sido regulado por la Ley 30/2015 de modo muy mejorable y poco garantista.
Risk management in the digital constellation - a constitutional perspective (part I)
Authors: Pernice Ingolf
Published: September 2018

The digital revolution is creating new risks, together with multiple opportunities for communication, commerce and political participation. What Ulrich Beck described as the world risk society and – from another perspective – Jürgen Habermas calls the “postnational constellation” is a challenge to our concepts of society and democracy. Digitisation is pushing this development towards a new dimension that allows us to speak of the “digital constellation”. Social relations are denser across borders and continents; what happens there matters here, as if it were happening on our own doorstep. New kinds of risks are arising as a side-effect of the increasing use of information technologies, while the internet also offers – for the first time – an infrastructure that makes formerly unrealistic concepts of cosmopolitan democracy (David Held) a real option. This includes the establishment of a constitutional framework for normative processes aiming at, among other global challenges, effectively managing cyber-risks at national, supra-national and global levels in a coherent way. Multilevel Constitutionalism is proposed as a means of providing a normative theory for conceptualising the constitutional structure of a layered system of governance that ensures a maximum degree of self-determination for the individual and, thus, for the democratic legitimacy of decisions made at each level, from local to global. Thus, the constitution for democratically legitimate action at the global level does not question democracy at other levels, but should be complementary, based upon functioning states, and designed to deal with issues that are beyond their reach, including cyber-security.

Published: September 2018

Аутор у раду говори о правном регулисању односа државе и цркве уБосни и Херцеговини. Притом, аутор наглашава да овај однос детерми-нише опредељеност за моделом кооперативне одвојености. Овај однос се,пре свега, карактерише потпуном аутономношћу у институционалномподручју у погледу религијског утицаја. Црква може да буде друштвенифактор, али нема утицаја на рад институција. То потврђују судске одлу-ке које су наведене у раду, и у којима је сачувана институционална ауто-номија у погледу ауторитета религијских норми. Аутор сматра да је наовај начин задовољен први критеријум лаичке републике који се тиче недо-минатности религије над државом и њеним институцијама. Када је реч одруга два критеријума, слободи савести и забрани дискриминације, у радусе истиче да су и они загарантовани правним прописима унутар БиХ.

Published: September 2018

The paper presents relation for maximal pressure-volume work for closed systems by using principles of I and II law of thermodynamics, used in reversible processes in which mechanical and thermal balance has been achieved. For full interpretation of this problem for two characteristic cases, graphical review in p-v diagram is given, where in an obvious way is noticed that maximal expansion work is composed of isentropic and isothermal work as well as work against pressure of environment. On basis of derived relation, by using appropriate thermodynamic relations, expression for specific maximal work is obtained which is suitable for the analysis. That expression was observed like two-dimensional problem i.e. as function of two variables: initial pressure and initial temperature as primary parameters. Using mathematical analysis is proven existence of minimum of this function, function as well as its graphical presentation in three-dimensional coordinate system. Detailed mathematical analysis is presented that in general case function of maximal geometric work is one concave area in space. For efficient solving and analysis of this problem, complex function of maximal work is observed as two functions with one variable i.e. from two-dimensional problem we will make two single-dimensional problems. It’s proven that in single-dimensional problems also exists point in which maximal work is minimal and different from zero. At the end of the paper, opportunities for usage of this complex issues of maximal work which refer to exergy analysis and optimization of thermodynamic processes, also the guidelines for future research for problems of other gases, half – ideal gases and Van der Waals’s gas. It can be claimed that the procedure of analyzing thermodynamic function of maximal work, showed in paper, isn’t common in literature.

Authors: Prozialeck Walter C. , Edwards Joshua R.
Published: September 2018

The One Health Initiative focuses on the complex relationships among the health of humans, animals, plants, microbes, and the environment. There are dynamic and delicate balances among these various elements, and disruption of these elements can have adverse effects on human health. Over the past 5 years, the Department of Pharmacology at the Midwestern University/Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine has used the One Health Initiative as a framework for the growth and development of ongoing research programs in the area of environmental toxicology. As described in this article, this One Health approach has been successful, as evidenced by increases in the number of publications and level of grant-seeking activity by department faculty. With its emphasis on holistic patient care, the osteopathic medical profession is well positioned to be a leading advocate for the One Health Initiative.
Association of Mindfulness With Residency Preference and Curriculum Selection in Preclinical Osteopathic Medical Students

Published: September 2018

Context

Recent studies suggest the shortage of US primary care physicians will be more than 50,000 by the year 2025. Mindful osteopathic medical students may be more inclined to pursue a career in primary care practice than those demonstrating lower levels of mindfulness. If so, assessing mindfulness before and after admission to medical school may reduce this shortage.

Objective

In this cross-sectional survey-based study, the authors assessed whether mindfulness among preclinical osteopathic medical students was associated with (a) their current preference for primary care practice as a residency, and (b) their choice between 2 alternative curricula.

Method

Participants were first- and second-year osteopathic medical students enrolled at the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM). They completed a 7-factor questionnaire of demographic variables and the online Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) to determine their mindfulness score. They also identified their current preference for a residency. Data were then presented using various descriptive statistics and analyzed using independent t tests, χ2 tests, and multiple logistic regression.

Results

Among the 208 respondents, authors found that osteopathic medical students who expressed a preference for primary care practice showed no significant differences in mindfulness compared with those interested in specialist fields, as indicated by mean (SD) mindfulness scores of 3.34 (0.44) vs 3.33 (0.41), respectively (P=.88). However, among demographic variables, female students expressed a preference for primary care practice fields at significantly higher rates than male students (OR, 4.4; 95% CI, 2.2-8.5; P<.001). Also, students who matriculated less than 6 months after completing their undergraduate education were drawn to primary care practice at higher rates than those who delayed enrollment (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.2-4.5; P=.016). None of the remaining demographic variables were associated with students’ residency preference.

Conclusion

Being female and matriculating immediately after undergraduate education was associated with a preference for primary care residency. However, no significant association was found between mindfulness and either residency preference or choice of alternative curricula.
A bioinformatics approach to identifyingWolbachiainfections in arthropods
Authors: Pascar Jane , Chandler Christopher H.
Published: September 2018

Wolbachiais the most widespread endosymbiont, infecting >20% of arthropod species, and capable of drastically manipulating the host’s reproductive mechanisms. Conventionally, diagnosis has relied on PCR amplification; however, PCR is not always a reliable diagnostic technique due to primer specificity, strain diversity, degree of infection and/or tissue sampled. Here, we look for evidence ofWolbachiainfection across a wide array of arthropod species using a bioinformatic approach to detect theWolbachiagenesftsZ, wsp,and thegroEoperon in next-generation sequencing samples available through the NCBI Sequence Read Archive. For samples showing signs of infection, we attempted to assemble entireWolbachiagenomes, and in order to better understand the relationships between hosts and symbionts, phylogenies were constructed using the assembled gene sequences. Out of the 34 species with positively identified infections, eight species of arthropod had not previously been recorded to harborWolbachiainfection. All putative infections cluster with known representative strains belonging to supergroup A or B, which are known to only infect arthropods. This study presents an efficient bioinformatic approach for post-sequencing diagnosis and analysis ofWolbachiainfection in arthropods.
Stabilising Potential of Sawdust Lignin based Extracts in Compressed Lateritic Bricks
Authors: O.A Fadele, , O.J. Ata,
Published: September 2018

Lignocellulosic materials are abundant in nature, rich in some functional groups, considered less harmful to human health and the environment.The resulting waste may be recycled for other beneficial uses. Lignin is known to be a natural binder in lignocellulosic materials and several studies have confirmed it has binding ability with soil particles. This paper studied its stabilising potential in compressed lateritic bricks, especially its effects on density and compressive strength properties of the bricks. Lignin additives extracted from sawdust were used to stabilise laterite, while the bricks were moulded with the UNIFE ram, a type of the CINVA ram. The laterite was stabilised at 4%, 8% and 12%, while cement stabilised samples and 0% (unstabilised laterite) samples prepared accordingly were used as controls. The results showed that the LBAs contributed to the strength gained by the bricks at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days air curing, while the bricks samples were categorised as high density.
Development of the DKMQ Element for Analysis of Composite Laminated Folded Plate Structures
Authors: Wong Foek Tjong , Widjaja Kristofer
Published: September 2018

The discrete-Kirchhoff Mindlin quadrilateral (DKMQ) element has recently been developed for analysis of composite laminated plates. This paper presents further development of the DKMQ for analysis of composite laminated folded plates. In this development, a local coordinate system is set up for each element at its centroid. The DKMQ stiffness matrix is superimposed with that of the standard four-node plane stress quadrilateral element to obtain a 24-by-24 folded plate stiffness matrix in the local coordinate system. To avoid singularity of the stiffness matrix, a small stiffness coefficient is added in the entries corresponding to the drilling degrees of freedom. The local stiffness matrix and force vector are then transformed to the global ones and assembled. The accuracy and convergence of the folded plate element are assessed using a number of numerical examples. The results show that the element is accurate and converge well to the reference solutions.
