IN-SYNC. VIII. Primordial Disk Frequencies in NGC 1333, IC 348, and the Orion A Molecular Cloud
Authors: Yao Yuhan , Meyer Michael R. , Covey Kevin R. , Tan Jonathan C. , Rio Nicola Da
Published: December 2018

In this paper, we address two issues related to primordial disk evolution in three clusters (NGC 1333, IC 348, and Orion A) observed by the INfrared Spectra of Young Nebulous Clusters (IN-SYNC) project. First, in each cluster, averaged over the spread of age, we investigate how disk lifetime is dependent on stellar mass. The general relation in IC 348 and Orion A is that primordial disks around intermediate-mass stars (2–5 M
⊙) evolve faster than those around loss-mass stars (0.1–1 M
⊙), which is consistent with previous results. However, considering only low-mass stars, we do not find a significant dependence of disk frequency on stellar mass. These results can help to better constrain theories on gas giant planet formation timescales. Second, in the Orion A molecular cloud, in the mass range of 0.35–0.7M
⊙, we provide the most robust evidence to date for disk evolution within a single cluster exhibiting modest age spread. By using surface gravity as an age indicator and employing 4.5 μm excess as a primordial disk diagnostic, we observe a trend of decreasing disk frequency for older stars. The detection of intra-cluster disk evolution in NGC 1333 and IC 348 is tentative, since the slight decrease of disk frequency for older stars is a less than 1σ effect.

Published: December 2018

We carry out a blind search of 3 mm continuum sources using the ALMA Science Archive to derive the first galaxy number counts at this wavelength. The analyzed data are drawn from observations toward three extragalactic legacy fields: COSMOS, CDF-S, and the UDS comprising more than 130 individual ALMA Band 3 pointings and an effective survey area of ≈200 arcmin2 with a continuum sensitivity that allows for the direct detection of unlensed Dusty Star-forming Galaxies (DSFGs) dust emission beyond the epoch of reionization. We present a catalog of 16 sources detected at >5σ with flux densities

from which number counts are derived. These number counts are then used to place constraints on the volume density of DSFGs with an empirical backward evolution model. Our measured 3 mm number counts indicate that the contribution of DSFGs to the cosmic star formation rate density at z ≳ 4 is non-negligible. This is contrary to the generally adopted assumption of a sharply decreasing contribution of obscured galaxies at z > 4 as inferred by optical and near-infrared surveys. This work demonstrates the power of ALMA-3 mm observations, which can reach outstanding continuum sensitivities during typical spectral line science programs. Further constraints on 3 mm selected galaxies will be essential to refine models of galaxy formation and evolution as well as models of early universe dust production mechanisms.
Roles of Photospheric Motions and Flux Emergence in the Major Solar Eruption on 2017 September 6

Published: December 2018

We study the magnetic field evolution in the active region (AR) 12673 that produced the largest solar flare in the past decade on 2017 September 6. Fast flux emergence is one of the most prominent features of this AR. We calculate the magnetic helicity from photospheric tangential flows that shear and braid field lines (shear helicity) and from normal flows that advect twisted magnetic flux into the corona (emergence helicity), respectively. Our results show that the emergence helicity accumulated in the corona is −1.6 × 1043 Mx2 before the major eruption, while the shear helicity accumulated in the corona is −6 × 1043 Mx2, which contributes about 79% of the total helicity. The shear-helicity flux is dominant throughout the overall investigated emergence phase. Our results imply that the emerged fields initially contain relatively low helicity. Much more helicity is built up by shearing and converging flows acting on preexisting and emerging flux. Shearing motions are getting stronger with the flux emergence, and especially on both sides of the polarity inversion line of the core field region. The evolution of the vertical currents shows that most of the intense currents do not appear initially with the emergence of the flux, which implies that most of the emerging flux is probably not strongly current carrying. The helical magnetic fields (flux rope) in the core field region are probably formed by long-term photospheric motions. The shearing and converging motions are continuously generated, driven by the flux emergence. AR 12673 is representative, as photospheric motions contribute most of the nonpotentiality in the AR with vigorous flux emergence.
The Role of Exercise Prescription in Pediatric Preventive Cardiology Programs
Authors: Connolly Sean D. , Ward Kendra M.
Published: December 2018

Lifestyle changes such as exercise and dietary change are recommended first-line therapy for children with dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. Although most clinicians recommend exercise, specific exercise prescriptions are not usually provided. The optimal type, duration, and intensity of activity to achieve a meaningful outcome is not definitively defined. As the pediatric population becomes more sedentary and morbidity accumulates from this lifestyle, understanding how targeted exercise prescriptions can benefit patients will be critical to effectively manage this group of patients. This review focuses on the role of exercise for the treatment of pediatric patients with dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity and describes additional factors that require future research to achieve desired outcomes in this at-risk population.

Preserving Optimal Cardiovascular Health in Children
Authors: Perak Amanda M. , Benuck Irwin
Published: December 2018

The origins of cardiovascular disease are at the beginning of life, and national guidelines recommend evaluation for cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity and hypertension as part of general pediatric care. In this review, a simple plan is proposed for clear and consistent monitoring and messaging throughout childhood, based on the American Heart Association's “cardiovascular health” construct. A framework is provided for age-appropriate scoring of the cardiovascular health components, including diet, physical activity and screen time, sleep, smoking exposure, body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose. Guidance is provided for evidence-based, efficient intervention by pediatric clinicians to preserve or restore cardiovascular health. Finally, anticipated near-term advances in pediatric cardiovascular health promotion are previewed.

Proyecto “Arqueometalurgia de la Península Ibérica” (1982-2017)
Authors: Rovira Llorens Salvador , Montero Ruiz Ignacio
Published: December 2018

El proyecto “Arqueometalurgia de la Península Ibérica” empezó en 1982 con el propósito de estudiar la tecnología metalúrgica durante la Prehistoria y cubrir la limitación de datos existentes en comparación con otros países europeos cuya investigación se había iniciado en décadas anteriores. Inicialmente centrado en el Calcolítico y la Edad del Bronce y prestando atención a los restos metalúrgicos y no solo a los objetos de metal, también ha analizado materiales de periodos más recientes. Mediante el análisis elemental por fluorescencia de rayos-X (XRF por sus siglas en inglés), el uso de la metalografía óptica y posteriormente de la microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM por sus siglas en inglés), los análisis de isótopos de plomo y los test de microdureza se ha recopilado un gran volumen de información durante estos 35 años de continuo funcionamiento: cerca de 24.000 XRF análisis y 900 metalografías. El proyecto ha contribuido de manera decisiva a la interpretación de la tecnología metalúrgica y ha aportado información básica en los debates sobre la intencionalidad o no de los cobres arsenicales, las estructuras de combustión utilizadas en la primera metalurgia o la escala de la producción metalúrgica y su influencia tanto en el medio ambiente como en los procesos sociales que se desarrollan en la Prehistoria peninsular.

Los brazaletes de piedra del Neolítico Antiguo (ca. 5500-4800 cal AC) y los contextos donde se produjeron son relativamente conocidos. Sin embargo, lugares únicamente destinados a la extracción de materia prima y primera transformación no se han documentado en la Península Ibérica. En este trabajo damos a conocer la primera cantera de mármol para la elaboración de preformas para brazaletes. Se presentan los resultados de prospección y excavación en la cantera de Cortijo Cevico (Ventorros de San José-Loja, Granada). El estudio geológico regional y de la materia prima, así como los análisis tecnológicos, estadísticos y experimentales nos permiten reconocer cómo funcionó la explotación y arrojar luz sobre la organización social de las primeras comunidades agropecuarias.
Is Barotrauma an Important Factor in the Discard Mortality of Yellow Perch?
Authors: Knight Carey T. , Kraus Richard T. , Panos Demetra A. , Gorman Ann Marie , Leonhardt Benjamin S. , Robinson Jason , Thomas Michael
Published: December 2018

In physoclistous fishes, barotrauma caused by rapid decompression during capture may be an important source of fishing mortality that is unquantified for some fisheries. We developed a predictive logistic model for barotrauma incidence in Yellow Perch Perca flavescens and applied this model to Ohio's recreational and commercial fisheries in Lake Erie where fisheries managers implicitly consider discard mortality to be negligible in current stock assessment. As expected, capture depth explained most of the variation in incidence, with comparatively small effects of season, sex, and size categories. Measurements of whole body and gonad density provided limited explanation for the categorical effects. Both fisheries spanned a range of depths (7.6 to 16.8 m) that corresponded to a broad range of barotrauma incidence (13 to 74%). Using a recent example, we estimated that additional fishing mortality due to barotrauma in discards was approximately six-fold higher in the commercial than recreational fishery. Overall, this additional mortality was <1% of lake-wide population size estimates. Thus, the assumption that all discarded Yellow Perch survive is unlikely to result in a detectable bias in population estimates. One caveat is that we still do not understand how strong year-classes might influence discard mortality via increased discard rate and barotrauma incidence for small fish.
Baseline Alligator Nesting Data in Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge to Inform Monitoring
Authors: Brandt Laura A.
Published: December 2018

Monitoring key ecological attributes helps land managers understand the current state of the resource and decide if management action is necessary. Baseline data on spatial and temporal variability of attributes to be monitored is important for development of successful monitoring programs. In this study, I collected data from 2000 to 2004 on American alligator Alligator mississippiensis nesting in the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge to determine feasibility of conducting alligator nest surveys and collect baseline data on alligator nesting status and variability. I used nest data to provide examples of potential monitoring strategies for tracking trends over time or understanding the effects of different hydrologic conditions on alligator nesting. Conducting ground surveys with airboats in Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge proved to be an effective method of finding alligator nests. Number of nests per 1.6 km × 1.6 km (256-ha) plot ranged from 1 to 12, and by year from 28 to 53. Overall, average number of nests per hour ranged from 1.8 ± 0.26 (SE) in 2000 to a low of 0.84 ± 0.08 in 2004. Using data from this study for the six plots sampled each year, and assuming no change in variability, power analysis shows that 10 y of sampling would allow for detection of an annual 10% change in number of nests per hour, with power and level of certainty set equal at 90% (β and α both 0.10). Additionally, 15 y of data would allow for a detection of a 5% change per year. Thirty-seven plots per area would be necessary to assess a 40% difference in number of alligator nests per hour in areas with different hydrologic conditions with power and level of certainty at 90%. Land managers can use these data and analyses, along with examples of monitoring strategies, to guide development of more specific monitoring protocols that address restoration objectives and management actions throughout the Florida Everglades.
FASP, the FASPian Paradox and Specialised Encyclopaedias: Highlighting FASP Relevance in Learning/Teaching Specialised Languages
Authors: Yeught Michel Van der
Published: December 2018

FASP (fiction à substrat professionnel, profession-based fiction) studies have enjoyed growing academic interest since Petit identified FASP as a new genre of specialised thriller (1999). Yet, what may be called the “FASPian paradox”—the proposition that FASP opens access to specialised language while it is not itself specialised discourse—has not been given sufficient attention although it undermines FASP’s pedagogical relevance. This paper proposes to resolve the paradox by using the notion of “specialised encyclopaedia” derived from Eco (1986) and Lecercle (1990, 1999) in order to move beyond the representation paradigm generally used to defend the validity of FASP as a teaching instrument.

Diabetic retinopathy is a disease in diabetic patients that affects the eye. It happens due to damage in the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissues at the retina. In non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, tiny changes occur in the blood vessels of the eye. Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy can trigger macular edema or macular ischemia. In this study proposes the retinal vessel segmentation and vessel quantization on the DRIVE database which is publicly available. The experimental results express the retinal vessel can be effectively detected and segmented.
Effectiveness of Internet Based Psychotherapeutic Intervention in Common Psychiatric Disorders
Authors: Bisen Shilpa Suresh , Deshpande Yogesh M
Published: December 2018

The rationale of the article is to describe the use of the Internet for psychological treatment in a clinical setting. Internet-based psychotherapy as a therapeutic tool, that offers an anonymous way for people to search for information and participate in treatment. Research studies on web-based psychotherapy for the major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders and other psychological conditions has grown swiftly in the last decades. Findings revealed that some forms of Internet-based treatments often lead to results similar to those of traditional face to face psychotherapy. The advantages of Internet-based interventions are high-cost effectiveness, greater access to evidence-based treatment, and greater access to patients in remote locations. The deterioration of symptoms, the emergence of new psychological symptoms, a high rate of abandonment and the frustration caused by technical problems are some of the negative effects of Internet interventions. In conclusion, there is now ample evidence that Internet based-interventions work for common mental disorders such as depression, anxiety disorder, alcohol consumption, smoking cessation, eating disorders, headaches and insomnia. Research on interventions on the Internet is advancing at high speed, while the proliferation and prolonged implementation of interventions on the Internet in regular assistance is still in its infancy.
Social Networking and Its Role in Media Entrepreneurship
Authors: Hossain Syed Far Abid
Published: December 2018

The paper explores social networking and its role in media entrepreneurship. The key purpose of the study is to evaluate the role of mobile phone usage in the context of online shopping. The research sheds light on the prospect of media entrepreneurship based on systematic literature review without collecting any primary data. The study reviews the literature on social media, social networking, mobile usage, and media entrepreneurship. This research identifies the immense popularity of social networking, online shopping, and digital media entrepreneurship due to available and affordable usage of mobile phones. To do so, the research investigates related literature from the last five years (2013 and 2018). The findings indicate that even though media entrepreneurship gained increased popularity, it has not been implemented or initiated properly. This research also indicates a new path towards ease of online shopping, building trust, ease of decision making in online purchase, as well as reduction of unemployment problem in emerging and developing nations. Despite some limitations discussed in the study such as inconsistent research papers, limited studies in the specific field, and limited empirical evidence, it still offers implications and contributions for online shoppers, marketers, policymakers, and entrepreneurs. Finally, the research acknowledges the emerging role of social networking in media entrepreneurship development in the context of mobile phone usage in online shopping.

Varying regional δ18O–temperature relationship in high resolution stable water isotopes from East Greenland
Authors: Holme Christian , Gkinis Vasileios , Lanzky Mika , Morris Valerie , Olesen Martin , Thayer Abigail , Vaughn Bruce H. , Vinther Bo M.
Published: December 2018

Abstract. This study examines the stable water isotope signal (δ18O) of three ice cores drilled on the Renland peninsula (East Greenland coast). While ice core δ18O measurements qualitatively are a measure of the local temperature history, the δ18O variability actually reflects the integrated hydrological activity that the deposited ice experienced from the evaporation source to the condensation site. Thus, as Renland is located next to a fluctuating sea ice cover, the transfer function used to infer past temperatures from the δ18O variability is potentially influenced by variations in the local moisture conditions. The objective of this study is therefore to evaluate the δ18O variability of ice cores drilled on Renland and examine what amount that can be attributed to regional temperature variations. In the analysis, three ice cores are utilized to create stacked summer, winter and annually averaged δ18O signals (AD 1801–2014). The imprint of temperature on δ18O is first examined by correlating the δ18O stacks with instrumental temperature records from East Greenland (AD 1895–2014) and Iceland (AD 1830–2014) and with the regional climate model HIRHAM5 (AD 1980–2014). The results show that the δ18O variability correlates with regional temperatures on both a seasonal and an annual scale between 1910–2014 while δ18O is uncorrelated with Iceland temperatures between 1830–1909. Our analysis indicates that the unstable regional δ18O-temperature correlation does not result from changes in weather patterns through respectively strengthening and weakening of the North Atlantic Oscillation. Instead, the results imply that the varying δ18O-temperature relation is connected with the volume flux of sea ice exported through Fram Strait (and south along the coast of East Greenland). Notably, the δ18O variability only reflects the variations in regional temperature when the temperature anomaly is positive and the sea ice export anomaly is negative. It is hypothesized that this could be caused by a larger sea ice volume flux during cold years which suppresses the Iceland temperature signature in the Renland δ18O signal. However, more isotope-enabled modeling studies with emphasis on coastal ice caps are needed in order to quantify the mechanisms behind this observation. As the amount of Renland δ18O variability that reflects regional temperature varies with time, the results have implications for studies performing regression-based δ18O-temperature reconstructions based on ice cores drilled in the vicinity of a fluctuating sea ice cover.
Alluvial channel response to environmental perturbations: Fill-terrace formation and sediment-signal disruption
Authors: Tofelde Stefanie , Savi Sara , Wickert Andrew D. , Bufe Aaron , Schildgen Taylor F.
Published: December 2018

Abstract. The sensitivity of fluvial fill terraces to tectonic and climatic boundary conditions make them potentially useful archives of past climatic and tectonic conditions. However, we currently lack a systematic understanding of the impacts of base-level, water discharge, and sediment discharge changes on terrace formation and associated sediment storage and release. This knowledge gap precludes a quantitative inversion of past environmental changes from terraces. Here we use a set of seven physical experiments to explore terrace formation and sediment export from a braided channel system that is perturbed by changes in upstream water discharge and sediment supply, or downstream base-level fall. Each perturbation differently affects (1) the geometry of terraces and channels, (2) the timing of terrace formation, and (3) the transient response of sediment discharge. In general, an increase in water discharge leads to near-instantaneous channel incision across the entire fluvial system and consequent local terrace cutting, preservation of the initial channel profile on terrace surfaces, and a transient increase in sediment export from the system that eventually returns to its pre-perturbation rate. In contrast, changes in the upstream sediment supply rate may result in longer lag-times before terrace cutting, leading to a less well-preserved pre-perturbation channel profile, and may also produce a gradual change in sediment output towards a new steady-state value. Finally, downstream base-level fall triggers the upstream migration of a knickzone, forming terraces with upstream-decreasing ages. The gradient of terraces triggered by base-level fall mimicks that of the newly-adjusted active channel, whereas gradients of terraces triggered by variability in upstream sediment or water discharge are steeper compared to the new equilibrium channel. Our findings provide guidelines for distinguishing between different types of perturbations when interpreting fill terraces and sediment export from fluvial systems.
Minute-Scale Wind Speed Forecasting Using Scanning Lidar Inflow Measurements
Authors: Simon Elliot , Courtney Michael , Vasiljevic Nikola
Published: December 2018

Abstract. Wind turbines and wind farms lack information about upstream wind conditions which are ultimately converted into electricity. Remote sensing instruments such as compact pulsed scanning wind lidars can observe the incoming wind field at large distances (up to 10 km) ahead of a wind farm and provide spatial and temporal information about the inflow on operational timeframes not feasible with numerical weather models. On very-short horizons (below 1-hour lead times), the persistence method is commonly used, which fails to capture the unsteady state of the atmosphere and can introduce costly errors into the power system by means of imbalances. A method of measuring, processing, and predicting site-specific 1–60 minute ahead wind speeds is proposed using machine learning methods applied to lidar observations from a field experiment in western Denmark. A direct multi-step forecast strategy is implemented using Stochastic Gradient Descent Regression (SGDR) with model weights updated following each repeating lidar scan. Overall, the proposed method demonstrates improved skill over persistence, with a reduction of root-mean-squared (RMS) wind speed errors ranging from 21 % (1-min ahead), to 10.9 % (5-mins ahead), 9.2 % (10-mins ahead), 7.1 % (30-mins ahead), and 6.2 % (60-mins ahead) while maintaining normally distributed errors.
Moving Beyond Where and When to the People and Practices That Impact Youth

Published: December 2018

Descriptors like after-school and out-of-school make it easy for funders and families to understand the basics of what the youth development field offers—places for young people to go when they are not in school. These descriptors, however, do little to promote the youth work profession. Youth work is best practiced in settings that prioritize relationships, promote social and community engagement, and provide opportunities for interest-based skill building and exploration. The value youth workers bring to their practice, as the archive of articles in this journal demonstrates, is not in the basic descriptors of the setting, but in the design of the learning environments. This article explores the need for youth work professionals to use, contribute to, and share our knowledge base within and outside of the field.
Eating Identities, “Unhealthy” Eaters, and Damaged Agency
Authors: Dean Megan
Published: December 2018

This paper argues that common social narratives about unhealthy eaters can cause significant damage to agency. I identify and analyze a narrative that combines a “control model” of eating agency with the healthist assumption that health is the ultimate end of eating. I argue that this narrative produces and enables four types of damage to the agency of those identified as unhealthy eaters. Due to uncertainty about what counts as healthy eating and various forms of prejudice, the unhealthy eater label and its harms to agency are more likely to stick to some people than others and may reinforce patterns of oppression. I argue that fat people are especially vulnerable to this identification and the damage it can do. I then consider possible “counterstories” about unhealthy eaters, alternative narratives that might be less damaging to agency than the control narrative. I identify one promising counterstory but suggest that it may be limited when it comes to repairing damage to the agency of fat people. Overall, this paper illustrates some of the complex ways that healthism about eating affects agency, and emphasizes the ethical importance of the ways we think about and discuss eating and eaters.

Improving EFL Learners’ Critical Thinking Skills in Argumentative Writing
Authors: Nejmaoui Nabila
Published: December 2018

In the 21st century where information has become easily available and accessible, education has shifted its attention to teaching students how to process and think critically about the information they receive. Welcoming the changes that education constantly witnesses, the field of English Language Teaching (ELT) has embraced the integration of critical thinking. Accordingly, the present paper aims to explore the effect, if any, of integrating critical thinking on learners’ use of critical thinking skills in argumentative writing. To this end, an experimental study was conducted; 36 Moroccan EFL learners from the department of English were divided evenly into an experimental group and a control group. While the participants in the experimental group were taught writing with critical thinking skills, the others were taught writing with no reference to these skills. The participants in both groups took a pre-test and posttest to evaluate the development of their use of critical thinking skills in argumentative writing. The data which has been quantitatively analyzed indicates that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group. The students’ ability to use more credible evidence, address alternative arguments, support conclusions, and maintain the logical flow of ideas in their essays did not reach a mastery level in the posttest, yet the average level they reached is reassuring in view of the short time of the training they had. An integration of CT for longer periods may bring forth encouraging outcomes.

Authors: Gorial Faiq I. , Mahmood Zainab A. , Al Obaidi Sundus
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: SLE is one of systemic diseases, targeting young patients, so we try to study the one of factors that affected these patients.

The aim of our study is to describe the body composition in Iraqi lupus patients, and assess the effect of the disease activity, disease duration, treatment, and patients’ social class in development of sarcopenia.

PATIENTS & METHOD: Sixty women, age > 18years with SLE and 56 matched controls were studied. Disease activity measured by systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index, and functional status measured by systemic lupus erythematosus quality of life questionnaire. Body mass index, waist circumference measured for patients and controls. Body composition analyzed by dual energy absorptiometry x-ray.

RESULTS: Mean age for patients was 31.75±10.06 years, and mean disease duration was 19.62±10.76 months. No differences in body mass index, central obesity, lean mass percentage, fat mass percentage, appendicular lean mass index, and bone mineral density between patients and controls. Z score was lower in lupus patients as compared with controls (-1.61±0.8 for patients, -1.26±0.71 for control, p= 0.013). Treatment with azathioprine found to decrease the risk of sarcopenia (p= 0.046). Medical social class and working social class show lower risk for sarcopenia compared to unemployed class (p= 0.003, 0.002 respectively). However disease duration, disease activity, using prednisolone, and functional status had no effect.

CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences in body mass index, fat mass percentage, lean mass percentage, and appendicular lean mass index in lupus patients and controls. Lupus patients have higher risk to loss their bone density.

Interest in engineering education is growing, and libraries are often the hub of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning activities in schools and communities. To enhance patrons’ experiences, many libraries have incorporated making, maker, and tinkering spaces that support STEM learning and engineering thinking. Making, maker, and tinkering spaces generally include opportunities for patrons to have hands-on experiences with a variety of materials, technology resources, and design challenges that encourage thinking like an engineer. This type of thinking is “goal-oriented thinking that addresses problems and decisions within given constraints by drawing on available resources, both material resources and human capital.” Thinking like an engineer, making, and tinkering are all part of engineering design-based learning.

Both here and there: Diasporic youth in Denmark as agents of development: Based on two qualitative studies
Authors: Singla Rashmi , Fabricius Anne Sophie , Holm Anne
Published: December 2018

This article investigates some psychological aspects of South Asian diasporic youth in Denmark with focus on the socioeconomic strategies based on two empirical studies. The first longitudinal study explored young adults’ economic strategies in relation to their country of origin. The original investigation was conducted in the mid-1990s. Within a theoretical framework combining positioning theory with life course perspective, in-depth interviews were conducted with young adults of Indian and Pakistani background (n=5). The second study focussed on second generation Pakistani descendants in Denmark and their remittance to Pakistan. The extent and nature of transnational activities among second generation Pakistani has been investigated within a theoretical framework of transnationalism and identity construction. The results indicate three emergent forms of socioeconomic strategies among South Asian youth in Denmark: 1) individual strategies involving professional, business related investment and direct remittances, 2) awareness of parents’ strategies, although few or no self-initiated strategies and 3) collective strategy through an organisation addressing their position as agents of development in the country of origin. There are considerable temporal as well as qualitative differences in these strategies as compared to the parental generation.
Exploring the impact of involving fathers in the treatment of their children: A study using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)

Although fathers have been shown to contribute uniquely to the development of psychopathology in children, they continue to be ignored in research and clinical work. Knowledge about the impact of involving fathers in their child’s treatment – for the child, couple and the family as a whole - is still sparse. The aim of this study was to explore parents’ experiences of having fathers involved in the treatment of their child. Parents, whose children had received cognitive behavioural therapy for an anxiety disorder, were interviewed about this topic. The participating parents had all been involved in the treatment of their child. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the data in this study. Three higher order themes and 11 subthemes emerged from the six interview accounts. The three higher order themes were as follows: Strengthening the family system, empowerment of parents, and impact on partner relationship. Results indicated that parents’ experiences of the involvement of fathers to be beneficial not only on the child’s treatment but also on other aspects of family life. The parents reported that the family as a whole benefitted from the treatment and that the relationship between the parents was strengthened. A model was created to conceptualize these results.

Prévenir le suicide en prison au Canada
Authors: Guenat1 Claire , Bérard Jean
Published: December 2018

L’article analyse la constitution du suicide carcéral comme un problème public à la fin des années 1970 et au début des années 1980 et rend compte des expertises mobilisées et des registres d’action esquissés par le Service correctionnel du Canada. Il place la genèse de ces réformes dans le cadre plus large des transformations de l’univers carcéral, au croisement entre la promotion des droits des prisonniers, l’accroissement du contrôle des pratiques pénitentiaires, l’ouverture croissante des prisons à des intervenants extérieurs, notamment médicaux, et la reconfiguration du fonctionnement disciplinaire de l’institution. L’article montre que, même s’ils ne sont qu’esquissés dans les années 1980, les lignes de force et les points de tension des politiques de prévention du suicide en prison apparaissent nettement et selon des modalités qui seront ensuite poursuivies et approfondies, notamment autour des enjeux de recueil et partage de l’information, de classification, d’affectation et de surveillance des détenus considérés comme suicidaires.
Les personnes suicidaires peuvent-elles parler ?
Authors: Baril12 Alexandre
Published: December 2018

Malgré des appels répétés dans les campagnes de prévention du suicide pour que les personnes suicidaires s’expriment, plusieurs ne se sentent pas en sécurité de le faire. Puisque briser le silence est capital pour prévenir les suicides, la peur de parler est contreproductive. Comment expliquer ces silences ? La thèse défendue est qu’en dépit d’une laïcisation, d’une décriminalisation et même d’une certaine dépathologisation du suicide, les personnes suicidaires, leurs gestes et leurs discours demeurent inintelligibles en fonction d’une injonction à la vie et à la futurité. Des mécanismes sont en place pour culpabiliser, surveiller/punir et pathologiser les personnes suicidaires, les empêchant de parler. Je soutiens l’idée que l’injonction à la vie et à la futurité est promue par l’ensemble des discours actuels sur le suicide. Qu’il s’agisse de l’approche médicale, sociale ou biopsychosociale, les divers modèles sur le suicide aboutissent tous à la même conclusion : le suicide n’est jamais une option. Dans leur condamnation univoque du suicide, ces modèles n’écoutent les personnes suicidaires que dans une logique de surveillance, créant des espaces peu sécuritaires pour s’exprimer. M’inspirant des théories crip et des études du handicap qui critiquent le modèle médical et social du handicap et développent d’autres modèles, je propose l’adoption d’un modèle sociosubjectif du handicap pour interpréter le suicide.
Methodology for Knowledge Extraction from Trained Artificial Neural Networks
Authors: Bondarenko Andrey , Aleksejeva Ludmila
Published: December 2018

Artificial neural networks are widely spread models that outperform more basic, but explainable machine learning models like classification decision tree. Although their lack of explainability severely limits their area of application. All mission critical areas or law regulated areas (like European GDPR) require model to be explained. Explainability allows model validation for correctness and lack of bias. Thus methods for knowledge extraction from artificial neural networks have gained attention and development efforts. Current paper addresses this problem and describes knowledge extraction methodology which can be applied to classification problems. It is based on previous research and allows knowledge to be extracted from trained fully connected feed-forward artificial neural network, from radial basis function neural network and from hyper-polytope based classifier in the form of binary classification decision tree, elliptical rules and If-Then rules.
