Probing the Massive Star-forming Environment: A Multiwavelength Investigation of the Filamentary IRDC G333.73+0.37
Authors: Veena V. S. , Vig S. , Mookerjea B. , Sánchez-Monge Á. , Tej A. , Ishwara-Chandra C. H.
Published: January 2018

We present a multiwavelength study of the filamentary infrared dark cloud (IRDC) G333.73+0.37. The region contains two distinct mid-infrared sources S1 and S2 connected by dark lanes of gas and dust. Cold dust emission from the IRDC is detected at seven wavelength bands, and we have identified 10 high-density clumps in the region. The physical properties of the clumps such as temperature (14.3–22.3 K) and mass (87–1530 M
⊙) are determined by fitting a modified blackbody to the spectral energy distribution of each clump between 160 μm and 1.2 mm. The total mass of the IRDC is estimated to be ∼4700 M
⊙. The molecular line emission toward S1 reveals signatures of protostellar activity. Low-frequency radio emission at 1300 and 610 MHz is detected toward S1 (shell-like) and S2 (compact morphology), confirming the presence of newly formed massive stars in the IRDC. Photometric analysis of near- and mid-infrared point sources unveils the young stellar object population associated with the cloud. Fragmentation analysis indicates that the filament is supercritical. We observe a velocity gradient along the filament, which is likely to be associated with accretion flows within the filament rather than rotation. Based on various age estimates obtained for objects in different evolutionary stages, we attempt to set a limit to the current age of this cloud.
Late-time Flattening of Type Ia Supernova Light Curves: Constraints from SN 2014J in M82

Published: January 2018

The very nearby Type Ia supernova 2014J in M82 offers a rare opportunity to study the physics of thermonuclear supernovae at extremely late phases (≳800 days). Using the Hubble Space Telescope, we obtained 6 epochs of high-precision photometry for SN 2014J from 277 days to 1181 days past the B-band maximum light. The reprocessing of electrons and X-rays emitted by the radioactive decay chain

is needed to explain the significant flattening of both the F606W-band and the pseudo-bolometric light curves. The flattening confirms previous predictions that the late-time evolution of type Ia supernova luminosities requires additional energy input from the decay of 57Co. By assuming the F606W-band luminosity scales with the bolometric luminosity at ∼500 days after the B-band maximum light, a mass ratio

is required. This mass ratio is roughly ∼3 times the solar ratio and favors a progenitor white dwarf with a mass near the Chandrasekhar limit. A similar fit using the constructed pseudo-bolometric luminosity gives a mass ratio

. Astrometric tests based on the multi-epoch HST ACS/WFC images reveal no significant circumstellar light echoes in between 0.3 and 100 pc from the supernova.
Mapping Excitation in the Inner Regions of the Planetary Nebula NGC 5189 Using HST WFC3 Imaging
Authors: Danehkar Ashkbiz , Karovska Margarita , Maksym W. Peter , Montez Rodolfo
Published: January 2018

The planetary nebula (PN) NGC 5189 around a Wolf–Rayet [WO] central star demonstrates one of the most remarkable complex morphologies among PNe with many multiscale structures, showing evidence of multiple outbursts from an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) progenitor. In this study, we use multiwavelength Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 observations to study the morphology of the inner 0.3 pc × 0.2 pc region surrounding the central binary that appears to be a relic of a more recent outburst of the progenitor AGB star. We applied diagnostic diagrams based on emission-line ratios of Hα
λ6563, [O iii] λ5007, and [S ii]

6716,6731 images to identify the location and morphology of low-ionization structures within the inner nebula. We distinguished two inner, low-ionization envelopes from the ionized gas, within a radius of 55 arcsec (∼0.15 pc) extending from the central star: a large envelope expanding toward the northeast, and its smaller counterpart envelope in the opposite direction toward the southwest of the nebula. These low-ionization envelopes are surrounded by a highly ionized gaseous environment. We believe that these low-ionization expanding envelopes are a result of a powerful outburst from the post-AGB star that created shocked wind regions as they propagate through the previously expelled material along a symmetric axis. Our diagnostic mapping using high-angular resolution line-emission imaging can provide a novel approach to detection of low-ionization regions in other PNe, especially those showing a complex multiscale morphology.
Innocent Bystanders: Orbital Dynamics of Exomoons During Planet–Planet Scattering
Authors: Hong Yu-Cian , Raymond Sean N. , Nicholson Philip D. , Lunine Jonathan I.
Published: January 2018

Planet–planet scattering is the leading mechanism to explain the broad eccentricity distribution of observed giant exoplanets. Here we study the orbital stability of primordial giant planet moons in this scenario. We use N-body simulations including realistic oblateness and evolving spin evolution for the giant planets. We find that the vast majority (∼80%–90% across all our simulations) of orbital parameter space for moons is destabilized. There is a strong radial dependence, as moons past

are systematically removed. Closer-in moons on Galilean-moon-like orbits (<0.04 R
Hill) have a good (∼20%–40%) chance of survival. Destabilized moons may undergo a collision with the star or a planet, be ejected from the system, be captured by another planet, be ejected but still orbiting its free-floating host planet, or survive on heliocentric orbits as “planets.” The survival rate of moons increases with the host planet mass but is independent of the planet’s final (post-scattering) orbits. Based on our simulations, we predict the existence of an abundant galactic population of free-floating (former) moons.

Le genre dans l’« Intifada des couteaux » : l’évolution de la place des femmes dans la lutte armée palestinienne
Authors: Marteu Élisabeth
Published: January 2018

Depuis l’automne 2015, les espaces israélo-palestiniens sont traversés par une vague inédite de violences anti-israéliennes, le plus souvent individuelles, spontanées et non politisées. De nombreuses jeunes femmes, parfois mineures, ont pris part à des attaques au couteau, qui ont relancé les débats tant académiques que politiques sur le genre de la violence armée en Palestine. L’analyse de l’évolution de la participation des femmes à la lutte nationale palestinienne permet de souligner la singularité des dernières attaques que beaucoup qualifient aujourd’hui de suicides. A la portée de tous-tes, elles ne dépendent plus d’un encadrement logistique masculin et collectif. Elles traduisent l’usage indifférencié par les femmes et les hommes d’armes équivalentes pour exprimer leur frustration tant personnelle que nationale.
S’organiser au maquis comme à la ville
Authors: Guillemet Sarah
Published: January 2018

Si les bataillons de femmes kurdes en armes ont fait la une des médias internationaux depuis la prise de Kobanê en 2014 par Daesh, cette forme d’organisation politique militarisée n’a pas été un acquis automatique au sein des organisations kurdes. Cet article propose ainsi d’étudier l’organisation en non-mixité des combattantes kurdes comme un outil de subjectivation politique. Il revient d’abord sur l’articulation progressive des rapports sociaux de sexe aux projets politiques révolutionnaires de deux partis de guérilla kurdes, le Komala et le Parti des Travailleurs du Kurdistan (PKK). Il présente ensuite l’évolution des systèmes d’organisation des genres au sein de ces deux partis, au regard des pratiques des combattantes depuis le début des luttes armées. Puis, il montre comment l’organisation en non-mixité des femmes kurdes a permis le passage d’une sororité combattante à une sororité résistante, redéfinissant les subjectivités, et les formes et espaces d’engagements tant dans la lutte armée que dans les mouvements civils.
Les femmes dans la littérature et la pensée djihadiste

L’entretien avec Nelly Lahoud, spécialiste du djihadisme à l’International Institute for Strategic Studies, permet de revenir sur le sujet d’actualité de la place des femmes dans la littérature et l’idéologie djihadiste. En détaillant comment Al-Qaïda et Daech ont théorisé et réglementé les rapports sociaux de sexe dans leurs mouvements, elle met en lumière des contradictions idéologiques et pratiques à l’appui d’une lecture ségréguée des rapports femmes-hommes.
Résistances des mouvements féministes en Turquie face à la violence extrême de guerre (des années 1980 à aujourd’hui)
Authors: Selek Pinar
Published: January 2018

L’examen de l’histoire du mouvement féministe en Turquie procure maintes opportunités de comprendre que la contestation n’est pas seulement déterminée par le contexte politique. Comment les mouvements contestataires, malgré la répression, co-construisent les contextes pour résister ? En 1980, un nouveau cycle de contestation est né et a entraîné plusieurs innovations dans la construction du répertoire de l’espace militant en Turquie et dans les modalités d’organisation et d’action. Le mouvement féministe a joué un rôle déterminant dans ce processus en s’attaquant aux différents aspects de la domination masculine.

unlearning: Horror and transformative theory
Authors: Arnzen Michael A.
Published: January 2018

Building on the foundational concepts of transformative learning theory, I argue that horror fiction strongly encourages perspective transformation by challenging student assumptions about both genre writing and educational experience. I informally describe a specific creative writing class period focusing on the motif of the scream in diverse horror texts, and I illustrate how students learn to transform what they already bring to the classroom by employing a variety of particular in-class writing exercises and literary discussions. Among these, transformative writing exercises—such as the revision of an existing text by Stephen King—are highlighted as instructional techniques. As cautionary literature, horror especially dramatizes strategies of fight versus flight. I reveal how students can learn by transforming their knowledge through disorientation that is particular to reading and writing in the horror genre.
Ownership, authority, and the body: Does antifanfic sentiment reflect posthuman anxiety?
Authors: Ashby Madeline
Published: January 2018

This essay examines three Japanese anime texts—Ghost in the Shell, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Serial Experiments: Lain—in order to discover metaphors for female fan practices online. In each of the three texts, women overthrow corporate, governmental, or paternal control over the body and gain the right to copy or reproduce it by fundamentally altering those bodies. These gestures are expressions of posthuman anxiety and "terminal identity." In addition, they involve confrontation with an uncanny double in some way. But how can they provide models for cyborg and fan subjectivity in an era in which bodily and textual reproduction, especially among females, is such a hotly contested issue? And how is the antifanfic backlash related to the phenomenon of the uncanny?
Soap operas and the history of fan discussion
Authors: Ford Sam
Published: January 2018

For decades, fans of U.S. soap operas have formed social networks surrounding their shows, and they did so even before the concept entered the vernacular. Soap fans, who started on a geographically local scale and built their communities through grassroots efforts, have found a variety of venues to connect with one another over the past several decades. This study looks at the pre-Internet development of these social networks to show how that trajectory relates to the current online community of soap opera fans. Although several scholars have studied soap opera fandom, few have taken an historical approach at understanding the trajectory of soap fandom, a view especially necessary in an era where online social networks are at the center of audience studies and where cornerstone U.S. soap operas are struggling to retain relevance and audience. To fill this gap, I argue that understanding fan networks today requires looking back to previous methods of fan networking. Soaps' longevity (the youngest U.S. soap is more than 20 years old) and frequency (all U.S. daytime soaps are daily) make them crucial texts in demonstrating how the roots of fan social networks in a pre-Internet era helped shape that fandom's transition onto the Internet, and they also illustrate the continued evolution of these networks as fans move online.

labor of creativity: Women's work, quilting, and the uncommodified life
Authors: Halbert Debora J.
Published: January 2018

Quilting is an area of creative work rich in tradition that demonstrates how ideas and inspiration flow between quilters as they share with each other, move to new parts of the country, and develop their own designs. While commercial patterns have been copyrighted, quilting has generally existed under the radar of copyright law, primarily because quilts are most often exchanged within a gift economy. However, as quilting becomes big business and patterns and pattern books are more centrally located in quilting culture, issues associated with copyright protection emerge. This article investigates the relationship between copyright law, innovation, and sharing as it is understood by quilters who responded to an online questionnaire. Survey participants feel that quilting is a creative activity in which copyright plays a very small role, except when it restricts the actions of quilters. The survey suggests that respondents see quilting as creating a connection between themselves, their families, and their communities. Their creative work, in other words, is a gift they want to share, not a product they want to sell.
Game over: Asian Americans and video game representation
Authors: Phi Thien-bao Thuc
Published: January 2018

Even video games by Asian creators tend to depict primarily white characters or reference Asian stereotypes such as kung fu fighters or yakuza thugs. Games depicting the Vietnam war are particularly troubling for Asian players expected to identify with white characters. As the game industry continues to expand, its representation of Asians and Asian Americans must change.
friends that game together: A folkloric expansion of textual poaching to genre farming for socialization in tabletop role-playing games
Authors: Underwood Michael Robert
Published: January 2018

Tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) are a folkloric form for creating and reaffirming community bonds and performing identity. Gaming is used to communicate and perform cultural capital and identity through fictional narratives, functioning as a form of community building and/or personal expression. With quotations from ethnographic research over the course of 2 years, including interviews with several groups of gamers and participant observation, I examine the ways that players create and affirm social bonds. I return to Michel De Certeau's idea of textual poaching, as adapted by Henry Jenkins, to contrast with it a new concept of genre farming. As both platform for and object of genre farming, RPGs allow players to display cultural competence, create and reaffirm social ties, and seek entertainment in a collaborative fashion.

"Too Human" versus the enthusiast press: Video game journalists as mediators of commodity value
Authors: Carlson Rebecca
Published: January 2018

This article examines the role of mediators in the production of commodity value, arguing that there is a rise in a kind of immaterial labor, shaped by contemporary conditions of late capitalism, that functions explicitly as a mediating force. In this example, video game journalists are understood as actively engaged in producing and negotiating the value and meaning of video games for both producers and consumers. By specifically examining a moment of value contestation, a podcast debate between a journalist and a game developer, this article traces the mediating practices of the enthusiast gaming press and examines the way their history with and relationship to the video game industry continue to structure their ability to filter knowledge and shape desires.

Impala as negotiator of melodrama and masculinity in "Supernatural"
Authors: Bruce Melissa N.
Published: January 2018

This article explores the implications of the binaries of masculinity and melodrama as they pertain to the television series Supernatural. I examine the significance of Dean's beloved Impala as a negotiator of both the masculine and the overtly emotional. The Impala directly provides Dean with both physical and emotional support throughout the series, while it does not directly interact with Sam. As Supernatural moves through its fourth season, the dramatic uses of the Impala are shifting, signifying and providing insight into a distinctive change in the relationship between Dean and Sam, where emotion cannot yet be overtly expressed.
Bisexual erasure in queer sci-fi "utopias"
Authors: Serafini Victoria
Published: January 2018

I discuss the paradoxes of queer representation in contemporary science fiction television by analyzing bisexual female protagonists of the CW's The 100 (2014–), BBC America's Orphan Black (2013–), and SyFy's Wynonna Earp (2016–). Queer female fans engage in femslash to make sense of the utopic intentions of executive producers who attempt to create better queer representation through labelless premises that de-emphasize queerness.

How digital remix and fan culture helped the Lego comeback
Authors: Einwächter Sophie Gwendolyn , Simon Felix M.
Published: January 2018

The LEGO Movie, the highest-grossing animation film of 2014, surprised and impressed children, adults, and critics worldwide. The film's transfranchisal approach and its clever merchandising helped the Lego Group become the world's biggest toymaker in the following year. In order to provide context for understanding the Lego comeback, we first address the corporate history of the Lego Group and how its product range has developed over the years. Next, we take a closer look at adult fans of Lego (AFOL), in particular a German fan club that considers Lego building to be a form of art. The final part of our paper deals with brickfilming as a cultural practice bringing together fans, the brand, Lego-building, and filmmaking. Taking The LEGO Movie and the overwhelmingly positive response to it as a starting point for cultural analysis helps to deepen our understanding of contemporary media production and resulting (trans)formations of fan phenomena. Furthermore, investigating Lego allows us to tackle some of the key rules and mechanisms underlying cultural participation and creativity today. Ultimately, the difficult past and current success of the Lego brick may attest to the often challenged yet sometimes reaffirmed status of tangible objects in a now predominantly digitally mediated era.

Rereading Superman as a trans f/man
Authors: Vena Dan
Published: January 2018

While a noteworthy body of scholarship exists that "queers" the superhero, few attempts have been made to "trans" such famous comic book characters. I offer an introduction to trans identities via my own personal narrative and a cursory example of trans reading practices within the fields of comics and fandom studies. Writing as a trans f/m (fan and man), I set out to trans superheroes and also to rethink the temporal space of boyhood, which is typically positioned as the supposed beginning of one's manhood and one's passion for comic book heroes. As an example of this reading strategy, I offer a reinterpretation of the Superman origin story that explicitly highlights the hero's own innate transness.
"Can I take your picture?": Privacy in cosplay
Authors: Zarin Babak
Published: January 2018

In this piece I examine the privacy concerns faced by costume players, or cosplayers, as a means of beginning to examine the question of how privacy can still exist in an increasingly public world. I first offer a brief overview of philosophical and current legal approaches to the concept of privacy, and then discuss the cosplay community and its concerns regarding harassment at conventions. I conclude by demonstrating how these concerns are actually privacy concerns and what this suggests regarding attempts to address these concerns both presently and in the future.

Bodies in horrifying hurt/comfort fan fiction: Paying the toll
Authors: Linn Rachel Elizabeth
Published: January 2018

Hurt/comfort (h/c) fan fiction revels in the malleability of the flesh (changing it, destroying it, manipulating it to new purpose), and some find this fascination baffling and worrisome. At its most extreme, hurt/comfort focuses on the body in pain because it assumes that the destroyed body adds immense value to the narrative. Through the ideas of Elaine Scarry and Julia Kristeva, I move the conversation beyond h/c's uneasy readership and toward the ways pain functions when it takes center stage.

case of Sherlockian identity: Irregulars, feminists, and millennials
Authors: Potts Liza
Published: January 2018

This essay describes a study of how fans participate in memory-making activities. I call this activity participatory memory, blending theories from collective memory and participatory culture. Interestingly, while studying spaces of memory for Sherlock Holmes (the Canon) and BBC's Sherlock (2010–), I began to realize that these spaces have much to do with gender, generations, class, and cultural differences that helped regulate (and even segregate) different ways in which people were allowed to participate in the Sherlockian fandom.
Fan labor, speculative fiction, and video game lore in the "Bloodborne" community

From co-optation to commission: A diachronic perspective on the development of fannish literacy through "Teen Wolf"'s Tumblr promotional campaigns
Authors: Willard Lesley Autumn
Published: January 2018

Historically, fan scholars have focused on conducting deep dives into singular cases and revealing trends by comparing cross sections of those cases. While there is undeniable value in conducting close analyses of such instances, the reliance on this method can limit our assessment of long-running trends. By supplementing—or, more productively, combining—specific case studies with diachronic perspectives, we can better situate, contextualize, and trace emerging trends like the evolution of fan/producer dynamics. To model this approach, I analyze 4 years' worth of fan-targeted promotional campaigns on the official Teen Wolf (2011–) Tumblr. The activities—fannish and/or promotional—of all participants in a shared ecological system like Tumblr are significant. They continuously construct, deconstruct, nuance, and challenge the ever-evolving context of fandom and fan/producer dynamics. Supplementing a close analysis of one of Teen Wolf's recent promotional campaigns—the commissioned #TeenWolfExhibit—with a diachronic perspective addresses the ever-evolving ecology of media fandom and traces the evolution of MTV's fannish literacy from 2011 to 2015. The #TeenWolfExhibit reproduces and reflects all the promotional successes, failures, and course corrections that predate it.
Between text, paratext, and context: Queerbaiting and the contemporary media landscape
Authors: Ng Eve
Published: January 2018

I discuss the concept of queerbaiting as emergent from viewer readings of both textual and paratextual content at a particular juncture of LGBT media representation. While fan works as paratexts have attracted attention for their queered readings and narratives, there has been little scholarly consideration of how official paratexts that suggest or address queer readings, particularly promotional material and public commentary from producers, inform viewer engagement with media texts, and how they interact with contemporary conditions of media production and LGBT content. Examining F/F pairings from two television shows, Rizzoli & Isles (TNT, 2010–16) and The 100 (CW, 2014–), I propose a model that incorporates text, paratext, and the context of LGBT representation to account for how both noncanonical and canonically queer narratives can exemplify queerbaiting discourses, as well as where queer subtextual readings are positioned in this interpretative space. In addition, I highlight the historical contingency of queerbaiting in terms of shifts in producer/viewer interactions and the character of LGBT narratives in reshaping the contestation of media meaning making.
Coming out on "Grey's Anatomy": Industry scandal, constructing a lesbian story line, and fan action
Authors: Zuk Tanya D.
Published: January 2018

This analysis focuses on a series of industry scandals that created a need for and the development of a lesbian story line on Grey's Anatomy (ABC, 2005–), resulting in the creation of a lesbian-focused fan group dedicated to the lesbian pairing, Erica_Callie on LiveJournal. The resulting constructed representation portrays authentic lesbian and bisexual characters on mainstream broadcast television, promising inclusion to those who identify with these characters.
Transformative (h)activism: Breast cancer awareness and the "World of Warcraft" Running of the Gnomes
Authors: Collister Lauren B.
Published: January 2018

Players of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft (WoW) are accustomed to a transformative culture that appropriates off-line events and personas into virtual-world representations inside of the game. Following this culture, players have transformed an off-line event—the Race for the Cure, to benefit breast cancer charities—into an online event called the Running of the Gnomes with parameters and participation properties appropriate for the virtual world. This transformative event is a disruptive form of civil disobedience including elements of hacktivism. Though the event conforms to the game's culture and rules, the mass collective action of the Running of the Gnomes disrupts the player experience by flooding the game's chat boxes with messages about an off-line concern (breast cancer) and also disrupts the game itself by crashing the server through the sheer volume of player participation. This disruption is embraced as an integral part of the event and is one of the primary causes for the event's success as a fundraising activity.
Competências profissionais do nutricionista hospitalar e estratégias para potencializá-las/ Professional skills of the hospital nutritionist and strategies to potentiate them
Authors: Gonçalves Nice Elaine Xiol Morais , Camelo Silvia Helena Henriques , Soares Mirelle Inácio , Leal Laura Andrian , Vassimon Helena Siqueira
Published: January 2018

Este estudo teve o objetivo de caracterizar as competências do nutricionista hospitalar e as estratégias gerenciais desenvolvidas para a mobilização dessas competências. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual participaram 29 nutricionistas de três instituições hospitalares. Os dados foram coletados de julho a setembro de 2015 por meio de duas fontes de evidências: entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação direta. Foi realizada análise de conteúdo indutiva dos dados. Os resultados permitiram evidenciar competências dos nutricionistas, tais como conhecimento teórico-prático, liderança, comunicação e trabalho em equipe. Estratégias para desenvolver as competências também foram identificadas, sendo algumas delas: participação em cursos, treinamentos e palestras. Considera-se que este estudo possibilita a reflexão de futuros profissionais, centros formadores e gestores dos serviços de saúde quanto às competências essenciais do nutricionista para atuação no contexto hospitalar. Programas de educação permanente em serviço devem contribuir para o aprimoramento de novas competências. A análise das competências desenvolvidas na formação acadêmica do nutricionista deve ser fator essencial para o alcance de melhores resultados na práxis profissional do nutricionista.
TOONDOO: O USO DE HISTÓRIAS EM QUADRINHOS COMO OBJETO DE APRENDIZAGEM NA FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA DE PROFESSORES
Authors: Lacerda Caroline Côrtes , Sepel Lenira Maria Nunes , Falkembach Gilse Morgental
Published: January 2018

Este artigo analisa um trabalho desenvolvido em um curso de formação continuada de professores implementado em uma escola municipal de Santa Maria, RS. Teve como objetivos contribuir para a formação continuada de professores com o uso das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs); apresentar o editor de histórias em quadrinhos (HQs) Toondoo, para que os professores pudesse utilizá-lo como recurso pedagógico; mostrar o uso de HQs como estratégia de ensino e aprendizagem e incentivar o uso de TICs no processo de ensinar e aprender. A atividade consistiu em um fórum no Moodle que requeria a elaboração de HQs por meio do editor de HQs on-line. A análise dos dados foi realizada a partir das HQs elaboradas e de discursos produzidos pelos professores sobre a utilização do Toondoo em suas áreas de atuação. Verificou-se que não houve dificuldades com o Toondoo, pois os professores conseguiram compreender as ferramentas e utilizá-las para criar as HQs. Mostraram-se encantados com o software e com a proposta de usar HQs nas suas diferentes áreas de atuação. O trabalho incentivou esses educadores a utilizarem as TICs em seu cotidiano. Entretanto, observou-se que poderia ter sido abordada a questão de como elaborar HQs, visto que não basta apresentar uma tecnologia; é preciso instrumentalizar os professores para utilizá-la.

When a patient is undergoing a total knee arthroplasty, the proximal tibia is cut with a certain depth for tibial tray mounting. Moreover, the proximal tibia plateau is then drilled distally to create a hole where the tibial tray stem is inserted. Due to the existence of tibial tray stem stuck into the central part of the proximal tibia, the development of stress around the stem becomes the interesting parameter to be investigated, especially in the cement. For this purpose, a simplified two-dimensional finite element model has been created. The focus of the result analysis was fixed only on the knee bend activity load due to the highest von Mises stress occurred in this activity. The highest von Mises stress of 52.80 MPa occurred in the tibial tray, and then followed by the cortical bone, cement, central cancellous bone, and edge cancellous bone with von Mises stresses were 34.56, 5.40, 1.41, and 1.26 MPa, respectively. In the field of displacement and true strain in the cement, the highest resultant of displacement of 0.2mm occurred in the top section of the cement. Around the posterior tip, the cement experienced the tensile strain of 0.02 and around the anterior tip the strain was the compressive strain with similar value.

Soft solid undergoes large deformation under external loading. In order to understand the mechanical characteristics of soft solid, a quantitative evaluation of the deformation behavior is necessary. In the previous study, a strain distribution on the surface of soft solid during an indentation (penetration) test was obtained by evaluating the deformation behavior using isoparametric finite element. However, three-dimensional deformations including out-of-plane deformation was neglected. In this study, the deformation behavior of the soft solid was analyzed using a stereo camera system and binocular disparity method. The out-of-plane deformation of the soft solid was then reconstructed three-dimensionally. Analysis result showed that this study was able to reconstruct the out-of-plane deformation in the area below the indenter. In addition, the displacements of specific points located on the deformed surface could also be estimated. Under the indentation loading condition, the out-of-plane displacements of points in the area below the indenter were estimated to be between 5.9 and 9.9 mm. However, the accuracy of the estimation should be validated by other measurement techniques in the future.
Alternative Methods for Accelerating Mechanical Stability of Concentrated Natural Rubber Latex

Published: January 2018

The mechanical stability time (MST) of latex is an important parameter indicating the colloidal stability of concentrated natural rubber latex (CNRL). This stability is crucial for the transport and storage of CNRL before the product forming processes. A popular method to increase the MST of CNRL in Thailand is by adding laureth soap or other surfactants. Nevertheless, the laureth soap provides a steady but slow increase in the MST without reaching a stable value after 30 days. At the same time, the phospholipids on the surfaces of natural rubber latex particles will naturally undergo hydrolysis reaction leading to even higher MST. For long storage, too high MST leads to coagulation problem in the product-forming step. Therefore, alternative methods were studied in this research to expedite phospholipid hydrolysis, which results in the increase in MST for CNRL without causing problems from excessive negative ions in the product-forming process. The alternative methods including heating in the presence of metal chips and the use of enzyme lipase were compared to the popular laurate soap addition method. It was found that lipase addition was the most effective method to expedite the hydrolysis of phospholipids to reach the standard MST value within 3 days, and reach a plateau within 10 days.

The charged iridium(III) complex polymers based on 1,10-phenanthroline in the polyfluorene backbones were synthesized by Suzuki-polycondensation. PFIr01, PFIr03, PFIr05, PFIr07 and PFIr10 were obtained by varying the content of iridium(III) unit in the polymer from 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.10 mol%, respectively. The molecular structures of polymers were characterized by1H NMR,13C NMR and gel permeation chromatography. Their thermal, photophysical and electrochemical properties were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis, UV-Visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The polymer light-emitting diodes were fabricated with ITO/PEDOT:PSS/polymer/TPBi/BPhen/LiF/Al.

Published: January 2018

The article presents the possible mechanisms of interaction between emission of Eu3+ ions and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) from Ag0 nanoparticles. The antimony-germanate glasses were synthetized by standard melt-quenching method. The influence of high-phonon glass forming compounds on excitation and luminescence spectra was analysed. Also, we showed that Sb2O3 is a mild reducing agent of noble metal ions. This mild reduction property enables thermochemical reduction of Ag+ to Ag0 in a single-step during the melting process. The energy transfer mechanisms between Eu3+ ions and Ag0 nanoparticles were also discussed in terms of local field effect of Ag0 nanoparticles. Full Text: PDF ReferencesS. Chatterjee, S. K.

Objective The objective of this study was to demonstrate the utility of a healthcare data quality framework by using it to measure the impact of synthetic data quality issues on the validity of an eMeasure (CMS178—urinary catheter removal after surgery).

Methods Data quality issues were artificially created by systematically degrading the underlying quality of EHR data using two methods: independent and correlated degradation. A linear model that describes the change in the events included in the eMeasure quantifies the impact of each data quality issue.

Results Catheter duration had the most impact on the CMS178 eMeasure with every 1% reduction in data quality causing a 1.21% increase in the number of missing events. For birth date and admission type, every 1% reduction in data quality resulted in a 1% increase in missing events.

Conclusion This research demonstrated that the impact of data quality issues can be quantified using a generalized process and that the CMS178 eMeasure, as currently defined, may not measure how well an organization is meeting the intended best practice goal. Secondary use of EHR data is warranted only if the data are of sufficient quality. The assessment approach described in this study demonstrates how the impact of data quality issues on an eMeasure can be quantified and the approach can be generalized for other data analysis tasks. Healthcare organizations can prioritize data quality improvement efforts to focus on the areas that will have the most impact on validity and assess whether the values that are reported should be trusted.

Published: January 2018

Background and Objective Finnish physicians have been increasingly dissatisfied with poor usability of the electronic patient record (EPR) systems, which they have identified as an overload factor in their work. Our aim is to specify which factors in EPRs are associated with work-related well-being of physicians.

Methods A web-based questionnaire was sent to Finnish physicians younger than 65 years; the responses (n = 3,781) represent one-fourth of these. This was a repetition of a survey in 2010, where this questionnaire was used for the first time. In addition to statements assessing usability, there were questions measuring time pressure and job control. The relation between usability and work well-being was investigated with hierarchical multivariate regression analyses: With time pressure and job control as dependent variables, EPR usability assessments and physicians' background information were used as independent variables.

Results In the multivariate analyses, technical problems that are often experienced in the EPR were related to higher time pressure and lower job control. Active participation in the development of the EPR system was related to stronger time pressure and stronger job control. In addition, use of several systems daily and the experience of time-consuming documentation of patient information for statistical purposes (billing, national registries, and reporting) were related to higher time pressure, while those with longer experience with the EPR system and those experiencing easy-to-read nursing records reported higher job control.

Conclusion To relieve time pressure and increase sense of job control experienced by physicians, usability, integrations, and stability of the EPR systems should be improved: fewer login procedures, easier readability of nursing records, and decreased need for separate documentation for statistical purposes. Physician participation in the EPR development would increase the feeling of job control, but would add the time pressure. Hence, time for developmental work should be arranged.
