After the Bloodbath: Is Healing Possible in the Wake of Rampage Shootings?
Authors: Diamond James D.
Published: November 2019

As violence in the United States seems to become increasingly more commonplace, the question of how communities reset after unprecedented violence also grows in significance. After the Bloodbath examines this quandary, producing insights linking rampage shootings and communal responses in the United States. Diamond, who was a leading attorney in the community where the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy occurred, focuses on three well-known shootings and a fourth shooting that occurred on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in Minnesota. The book looks to the roots of Indigenous approaches to crime, identifying an institutional weakness in the Anglo judicial model, and explores adapting Indigenous practices that contribute to healing following heinous criminal behavior. Emerging from the history of Indigenous dispute resolution is a spotlight turned on to restorative justice, a subject no author has discussed to date in the context of mass shootings. Diamond ultimately leads the reader to a positive road forward focusing on insightful steps people can take after a rampage shooting to help their wounded communities heal.
Cognitive impairment in depression and Alzheimer's disease: differential diagnosis and approaches to therapy
Authors: Tyuvina N. A. , Prokhorova S. V. , Maksimova T. N. , Verbitskaya M. S.
Published: November 2019

Mild to moderate cognitive impairment (CI) in elderly and senile age may be caused by various neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and depression. The literature review presents the mechanisms of CI development in AD and depressive disorders, as well as their course, prognosis, and differential diagnosis. Mild and moderate depressions in AD, their clinical variants, course and treatment approaches are described. Treatment for CI is shown to focus on therapy of the underlying disease, in which the former occurs. Antidepressants are used to treat depression and depressive disorders in AD, by taking into account the efficacy and tolerability of the drugs at old age.
Early cognitive dysfunction as a marker for the poor course of multiple sclerosis: a prospective 12-year follow-up
Authors: Kasatkin D. S. , Molchanova S. S. , Spirin N. N.
Published: November 2019

Owing to the advent of current methods for the prevention of exacerbations of multiple sclerosis (MS), it has become possible to increase the period to the development of obvious persistent cerebellar and motor disorders that mainly lead to disability. This makes it possible to focus on less evident and latent symptoms, in particular on cognitive impairment (CI) that are recorded since the diagnosis of MS and slowly progress over time.

Objective: to assess the prognostic capabilities of the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) to identify a group of patients with early disability (10-year risk of reaching 6.5 Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores.

Patients and methods. The paper presents the data of a 12-year (2005–2018) follow-up of 36 patients having MS with and without mild CI. The patients' mean age at the time of study inclusion was 31.7 years (confidence interval (CI) 29.2–34.1; α<0.05); the disease duration was 4.69 months (CI 3.31–6.08; α<0.05); the EDSS scores averaged 2.51 (CI 2.23–2.82; α<0.05). Severe disability (6.5 EDSS scores) was observed in 75% of cases in the presence of mild CI and in 25% of cases in the absence of mild CI; it occurred an average of 118.3 (CI 93.1–143.4; α<0.05) and 141.2 (CI 126.0–156.5; α<0.05) months later, respectively.

Results and discussion. The findings suggest that the patients with MS in the presence of impaired information processing speed and decreased attentional function (failure to complete more than 25% of the PASAT tasks) had a significantly greater risk for persistent disability than the patients without CI or with its minimal manifestations. Limitation in walking function (4.5 EDSS scores) occurred an average of 3.5 years earlier, and its significant limitation (6.5 EDSS scores) did 2 years earlier in the severe CI group, which may be important in planning therapy.

Conclusion. The presence of CI in early MS is likely to have a prognostic value in relation to the course of the disease.
A new hypothesis about the nuclear hydrogen structure
Authors: Petrescu Relly Victoria Virgil , Aversa Raffaella , Apicella Antonio , Abu-Lebdeh Taher M. , Petrescu Florian Ion Tiberiu
Published: November 2019

In other papers already presented on the structure and dimensions of elemental hydrogen, the elementary particle dynamics was taken into account in order to be able to determine the size of the hydrogen. This new work, one comes back with a new dynamic hypothesis designed to fundamentally change again the dynamic particle size due to the impulse influence of the particle. Until now it has been assumed that the impulse of an elementary particle is equal to the mass of the particle multiplied by its velocity, but in reality, the impulse definition is different, which is derived from the translational kinetic energy in a rapport of its velocity. This produces an additional condensation of matter in its elemental form.
The structure, geometry, and kinematics of a universal joint
Authors: Petrescu Florian Ion Tiberiu , Petrescu Relly Victoria Virgil
Published: November 2019

The paper briefly presents the geometry, structure, and kinematics of a universal joint, very commonly used in machine building, especially today for heavy and engine-driven vehicles and transmissions located in different areas as well as for all-wheel-drive vehicles. The universal joint, or the cardan cross, conveys the rotation movement from one bridge to the other (when the rotary shaft suffers both movements, upward and downward). The kinematic scheme of a cardan transmission is composed of two cardan shafts (one input and one output), both of which are equipped with a cardan cross (universal joint or universal joint). Between the two universal couplings, a further (additional) cardan shaft (axle) is mounted. This mechanism is designed to transmit the mechanical movement (within a vehicle) from one bridge to the other. If the vehicle's motor is on the front and with on the rear axle transmission, or vice versa when the vehicle's engine is on the rear and the transmission is on the front axle, or when we have multiple (multi-axle) transmission on heavy vehicles or 4x4 cars.
Meanings of literacy in the intersection of religious and secular practices: examining local and global changes in a Brazilian bairro
Authors: Castanheira Maria Lúcia , Street Brian V.
Published: November 2019

This article contrasts data from two ethnographic studies carried out at different points in time with working class families in Trombetas, a bairro on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The first study was conducted from 1988 to 1991, and the second in 2009. We develop two main themes: (1) the changing meanings of literacy in relation to the shift from Catholicism to Neo-Pentecostalism; and (2) the growing use of new technologies and multimodal means of communication in association with religious secular and commercial practices. For the first theme, we employ the notion of indexicality as a way of analyzing the changes taking place in this context. We point to the significant presence of Evangelical churches in Trombetas in 2009, and to the specific ways in which the reading and writing practices of some members of two families were bound up with religious beliefs and identities. In addressing the second theme, we draw attention to the meanings associated with the new technologies and the multimodal resources drawn upon by different family members in 2009. The article foregrounds the advantages that accrue from adopting a Literacy Studies perspective – one that focuses on the ways in which research participants, of different generations, actively pursue their own purposes (religious, secular or commercial), drawing on the modes of communication available to them and one that reveals the diversity and complexity of actual practices on the ground in local settings such as that of Trombetas.
Performance Analysis of 20 Gbit/s–40 GHz MDM-Ro-FSO Link Incorporating DPSK Modulation Scheme
Authors: Grover Amit , Sheetal Anu
Published: November 2019

The congestion in the radio frequency spectrum has posed a serious challenge for mobile service providers. Radio-over-free space optics (Ro-FSO) technology has been considered as a front runner to deal with the problem of spectrum congestion and to provide future generation high-capacity wireless networks. This work proposes designing and numerical analysis of differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation-based 20 Gbit/s–40 GHz hybrid mode division multiplexing-radio-over-free space optics (MDM-Ro-FSO) link up to 40 km transmission range under clear weather. Quality Factor (Q Factor), log of bit error rate (BER), signal to noise ratio (SNR), and received power are the key metrics used to probe the proposed system performance. The impact of increasing divergence angle and different fog weather conditions on the proposed system performance is also numerically evaluated. Further, the decomposition analysis of different spatial modes at the receiving unit is carried out in this work.
On Social Knowledge and Its Empirical Investigation in Contemporary Organisations
Authors: Liubertė Irina
Published: November 2019

The focus of knowledge management theories on codification and quantification and aspirations to manage knowledge in a similar manner to managing physical resources did not create a stable ground for knowledge management practices in organisations as was expected. Consequently, the theories of social knowledge work take the place of the theories of knowledge management and instead of simplifying they promise to address the issues of complexity. This paper presents a conceptual model of social knowledge – its observable characteristics and associated organisational processes – and aims to help in adopting and contextualising the new theories of knowledge work in organisational research and practice.
Cryoneurolysis for cervicogenic headache – a double blinded randomized controlled study
Authors: Kvarstein Gunnvald , Högström Henrik , Allen Sara Maria , Rosland Jan Henrik
Published: November 2019

Background and aims

Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a debilitating condition and analgesics have limited effect. Percutaneous cryoneurolysis is thus still in use although the clinical evidence is lacking. We present a randomized, controlled study to assess the clinical efficacy of cryoneurolysis compared with a corticosteroid combined with a local anaesthetic.

Methods

In a university-based outpatient pain clinic we performed a randomized, double blinded, comparative study with an 18-week follow-up. After positive diagnostic test blocks 52 eligible patients were randomly allocated in a ratio of 3:2, 31 participants to occipital cryoneurolysis and 21 participants to injections of 1 mL methylprednisolone 40 mg/mL (Depo-Medrol®) combined with 1 mL bupivacaine 5 mg/mL.

Results

We observed a significant pain reduction of more than 50% in both treatment groups, slightly improved neck function and reduced number of opioid consumers. After 6–7-weeks, however, pain intensity increased gradually, but did not reach baseline within 18 weeks. Although cryoneurolysis provided a more prolonged effect, the group differences did not reach statistical significance. Health related quality of life and psychological distress improved minimally. A large number reported minor and transient side effects, but we found no significant group differences. After 18 weeks, 29% rated the headache as much improved, and 12 (24%) somewhat improved, but a large proportion (78%) reported need for further intervention/treatment.

Conclusions

Cryoneurolysis provided substantial, but temporary pain relief, and the effect was not significantly different from injections of a corticosteroid combined with a local anaesthetic. Participants were selected by a single test block, and the neurolytic procedure was guided by anatomical landmarks and nerve stimulation. A stricter patient selection and an ultrasound-guided technique might have improved the results. Cryoneurolysis provides temporary pain relief not significantly superior to corticosteroid injection, and the results question the value of occipital cryoneurolysis for a chronic pain condition like CEH.

Implications

Occipital cryoneurolysis may be considered when non-invasive treatments appear insufficient, but only for patients who have responded substantially to test blocks. A risk of local scar and neuroma formation by repeated cryoneurolysis, leading to neuropathic pain has been discussed by other researchers.
Editorische Verflechtungen

Among the various descriptions of „Sarmatia“ which have been printed in the 16th century, the works of Maciej z Miechowa, Marcin Kromer and Alessandro Guagnini possessed the largest distribution: Published between 1517 and 1578, their works – containing information about the geography, history and population of the eastern part of the European continent – were reprinted and translated several times at several places until the middle of the 17th century. With a focus on paratexts and metatextual comments, the present article considers the entangled history of their editions in the 16th and 17th century and deduces receptions of these texts.
Reformation und gemeine Sprache bei den Ruthenen – Vasil’ Tjapinskis Vernakularisierung der heiligen Schrift
Authors: Stern Dieter
Published: November 2019

Departing from received notions about Vasil’ Tjapinski as an early representative of Belarusian national enlightenment, who in translating parts of the gospel into Ruthenian endeavoured to turn over the established diglossic linguistic order in favor of the vernacular language of the people, this article is meant to principally reassess his cultural role and significance. By subjecting the foreword to his gospel edition to a close reading and aligning our reinterpretation of this key document with the actual make-up and design of his text-critical synoptic edition of the gospel texts, it is hoped to place Tjapinski in a more adequate manner than heretofore within the broader framework of cultural change brought about by the vivid dynamics of innovative protestant religious thought against the backdrop of orthodox traditionalism. We argue that Tjapinski, being socially rather conservative, aimed at the expansion of active bible interpretation beyond the narrow sphere of priests and professional theologians within his own social class of minor gentry (szlachta) through adopting methods of critical philology as a highly formalized and therefore reliable truth-finding device. We argue further that, in an effort to win over primarily adherents of orthodoxy, Tjapinski rather than suggesting to have Church Slavonic replaced by the Ruthenian vernacular went out of his way to reestablish Church Slavonic as the true language of the Ruthenian nation (i. e. the Ruthenianszlachta) by arguing for the authoritativeness and reliability of the original Cyrillomethodian gospel translation, which would put the Church Slavonic gospel translation on a par with its Greek source text. His synoptic gospel edition should be appreciated as an effort at making the Church Slavonic gospel accessible through the medium of a vernacular Ruthenian translation, which accordingly ought to be seen as a gloss on the Church Slavonic original rather than as an independent text in its own right.

Strukturen und Governance betrieblicher Sozialpolitik in Deutschland
Authors: Schneiders Katrin , Höffling Stephanie
Published: November 2019

In den letzten Jahren ist in Deutschland eine Zunahme betrieblicher Sozialleistungen erkennbar. Neben der betrieblichen Alterssicherung werden u.a. soziale Dienstleistungen angeboten, die eine Erwerbstätigkeit bei Care Verpflichtungen ermöglichen. Der Aufsatz geht der Frage nach, ob und inwiefern sich durch das Engagement der Unternehmen das wohlfahrtsstaatliche Regime verändert und welche Auswirkungen auf vulnerable Gruppen erkennbar sind. Hierfür werden die Akteurkonstellationen dargestellt und anhand einer Fallstudie vertiefend untersucht. Als Ergebnis bleibt festzuhalten, dass betriebliche Sozialpolitik dazu führen kann, dass sich soziale Ungleich-heiten zwischen Arbeitsmarkt-Insidern und -Outsidern verschärfen, insbe-sondere wenn staatliche Leistungen auf die betriebliche Ebene verlagert werden. Davon sind nicht nur die Arbeitsmarkt-Outsider selbst, sondern auch deren Kinder betroffen. Die Ausweitung betrieblicher Sozialpolitik trägt insofern zur Erosion des wohlfahrtskorporatistischen Systems bei.
Data Mining Techniques for the Prediction of Bohme Surface Abrasion Rates from Rock Properties
Authors: Bayram Fatih
Published: November 2019

Abrasion refers to the wearing down of rock surfaces due to abrasive grains. Abrasion resistance refers to the ability of rocks to withstand wear. Abrasion resistance is used to determine the resistance of building materials produced for flooring, cladding, and pavements and to demonstrate suitability for higher movement areas. While it is, therefore, very necessary to determine the abrasion rate of building materials prior to construction, it is, however, highly demanding and time consuming to determine abrasion rates. Thus, the aim of this study is to use some rock properties to determine abrasion rates. The study samples, consisting of 32 different types of rocks (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous) collected from different regions in Turkey, were subjected to some physical and mechanical tests, namely the following: unit volume weight (UVW), apparent porosity (AP), modulus of elasticity (E), uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), tensile strength (TS), Shore hardness (SH), and point load strength (PL) and Bohme abrasion tests. To ascertain the abrasion rate from some physical and mechanical properties of rocks, the results of these tests were analyzed using data mining (DM) techniques. The results showed that there are high correlation coefficients between abrasion rate and the aforementioned rock properties with the support vector machines (SVM) and random forests (RF) models obtained as R = 0.882 and 0.881, respectively. This work has shown that the rock Bohme abrasion rate can be predicted from some of its physical and mechanical properties with significant level of confidence.
Improving Attitudes Towards Personality Disorder: Is Training for Health and Social Care Professionals Effective?
Authors: Attwood Juliette , Wilkinson-Tough Megan , Lambe Sinéad , Draper Erin
Published: November 2019

Health and social care professionals are more likely to hold negative attitudes towards people with a diagnosis of personality disorder than toward people with other mental health diagnoses. Negative attitudes have also been found to adversely impact care and service provision. This review sought to systemically evaluate training aimed at improving professional attitudes towards people with a diagnosis of personality disorder. Electronic databases PsychINFO, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and ProQuest were searched, and 19 articles were identified. Results show that training is effective and that improvements tend to be maintained. The results suggest that (1) co-production with people with personal experience of a personality disorder diagnosis, (2) communicating a psychological model to participants, and (3) teaching participants clinical skills for use in their work improve effectiveness. Further research in the form of randomized controlled trials that use validated measures and follow-up participants for at least 6 months is needed.

OBJECTIVES:

We examined the trends in the rate of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) hospitalizations and the associated resource use among children in the United States from 2006 through 2014.

METHODS:

Pediatric hospitalizations with HSP were identified by using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, code 287.0 from the National Inpatient Sample. HSP hospitalization rate was calculated by using the US population as the denominator. Resource use was determined by length of stay (LOS) and hospital cost. We used linear regression for trend analysis.

RESULTS:

A total of 16 865 HSP hospitalizations were identified, and the HSP hospitalization rate varied by age, sex, and race. The overall HSP hospitalization rate was 2.4 per 100 000 children, and there was no trend during the study period. LOS remained stable at 2.8 days, but inflation-adjusted hospital cost increased from $2802.20 in 2006 to $3254.70 in 2014 (P < .001).

CONCLUSIONS:

HSP hospitalization rate in the United States remained stable from 2006 to 2014. Despite no increase in LOS, inflation-adjusted hospital cost increased. Further studies are needed to identify the drivers of increased hospitalization cost and to develop cost-effective management strategies.
HEAVY METALS IN MILK INFANT FORMULAS
Authors: Kuznetsova I. , Krusir G. , Garkovich O. , Kovalenko I.
Published: November 2019

Baby food can contain harmful components that are very dangerous to little consumers. One of the most common harmful factors is heavy metals, in particular lead. It is known that introducing one extra microelement into the body changes not only the concentration of this element, but also the concentration of other elements. Disturbing the physiological balance of microelements leads to changes in complex enzymatic processes, which in turn violates the structure of tissue cells of individual organs. Studies by Russian scientists (T. Suldina and others) have determined, in milk for newborns, the maximum levels of lead (0.02 mg/kg), of cadmium (0.02 mg/kg), of arsenic (0.05 mg/kg). While studying certain samples of baby food, the method for determining the content of lead and other heavy metals was improved. Depending on the lead concentration, characteristic lines of both the ultraviolet and the visible spectral regions can be used. Monitoring heavy metals in infant milk has shown that lead, copper, and zinc are the main contaminants of the product. The concentration of toxic agents in baby milk depends on the type of raw materials and on the environmental conditions of their manufacture. To detect lead in products quickly and accurately, a method was used based on the emission spectral analysis. To this end, spectrographs ISP-28 and ISP-30 widely employed in industry and laboratory studies were taken, but the detection limits were lowered compared to those in the methods that had been used previously. Besides, the field-proven method for determining lead is applicable to detecting zinc and copper, too. An excess of lead by 0.08 mg/kg, copper by 0.07 mg/kg, zinc by 0.45 mg/kg was observed in the baby milk “Malyatko Premium 2.” In the milk “Bellakt 2,” the excessive amount of copper was 0.05 mg/kg, of zinc 0.20 mg/kg, of lead 0.05 mg/kg. In the baby milk “Nitricia Malyuk Istrynsky,” only zinc was found to exceed the normal level (by 0.1 mg/kg). The baby milks “Nutricia Milupa 2,” “Nestle Nestogen 2,” “HiPP Organic 2” do not contain excessive heavy metals, and thus, can be recommended as safe for consumption.

Published: November 2019

The article characterizes the peanut (Arachis hypogaea) as an oilseed crop widely spread in the world. It describes its biological value as well as the chemical and fatty acid composition. The study proves the practical importance of developing and introducing new blended functional purpose oils for Ukrainian people. It has been shown that blended oils contain significant amounts of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The use of blended oils will correct the deficiency of essential fatty acids in the diet of our country’s population. It has been pointed out how promising it is to create new types of blended oils, with a balanced fatty acid composition, by combining peanut and linseed oils. The article describes the characteristics of the new blended peanut-linseed oils with additives made from vegetable raw materials. The evaluated parameters are the quality and safety of the new blended peanut-linseed oils with a garlic extract, rosehip extract, sorrel leaf extract, and black currant leaf extract. The fatty acid composition of the fat in the new blended oils has been studied to determine their quality. The safety assessment of the new oils with the additives from vegetable raw materials has been determined by the content of pesticides (HCH-gamma isomer, heptachlor, and DDT), mycotoxins (aflotoxin B1 and zearalenone), toxic elements (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and zinc), iron, and radionuclides (cesium-137 and strontium-90). The results obtained confirm that the new blended oils are safe. The blended oils have a high biological value when the ratio of w-6 to w-3 fatty acids is 4.9:1, and the ratio of monounsaturated fatty acids to polyunsaturated fatty acids is 1:1, which meets the standards of healthy nutrition. In terms of chemical and radiation safety, the new oils do not exceed the maximum permissible concentrations, confirming the safety of the newly developed oils.

Published: November 2019

The possibility of developing a cosmetic product with antipigmentation properties has been considered. The cream is based on extracts, selected by monitoring, from plant components spread in Ukraine, able to inhibit tyrosinase and thus impart antipigmentation properties to the product. As active components expanding the range of the product’s cosmetic properties, ingredients were selected that strengthen the skin matrix and saturate it with essential substances. To enhance the effectiveness of the biologically active constituents of the product, liquid crystals based on cholesterics as modern systems of transdermal delivery of active components (0.1%) were included in its composition. For the cosmetic product, it has been suggested to use the following thermotropic cholesteric composition: cholesteryl nonanoate – 45%, cholesteryl pentanoate – 25%, cholesteryl-4-nonylbutanedioate – 30%. According to the complex of the organoleptic, physico-chemical, biochemical, and microbiological quality parameters of the new product after its manufacture and storage during three months, it has been established that it complies with the general sanitary and hygienic requirements to perfumes and cosmetics of the 3rd group. Biotesting on the testing cultures Allium cepa L. and Saccharomyces cerevisiae has proved the complete integral safety and growth potentiation of both testing cultures by 9.6–19.3% to the control, even in the presence of a preservative. This is an evidence of the safety, biological activity, and advisability of the developed cosmetic product with antipigmentation properties, containing cholesteric liquid crystals. The cosmetic product, based on the formulation developed, has been tested on female volunteers. Its effectiveness has been established and a simultaneous increase in the face skin humidity has been proved instrumentally.

Published: November 2019

The main task of the compound feed industry is development and introduction of high-performance equipment and technologies, expansion of the resource base and the range of finished products. Along with this, in the canning industry, a lot of by-products are formed. By their chemical composition, they are as good as the main products. However, by-products of the canning industry are characterized by a high moisture content. They deteriorate very quickly and require immediate disposal. That is why, the purpose of the paper was to study the effect of heat treatment on the physicochemical properties and on the quantitative and qualitative composition of the microflora of the feed additive made with the use of carrot pomace. The physical properties, chemical composition, sanitary quality, and permissible shelf life of carrot pomace have been determined. The optimum quantitative and qualitative composition of the feed additive have been reasoned and researched. It has been established that the process of extrusion improves the physical properties and increases the digestibility of nutrients. It also improves the sanitary condition and extends the shelf life of the additive. As a result of extrusion of the feed additive, the moisture content decreased by 32.2%, the angle of repose increased by 11.8%, the flowability decreased by 33.3%, the damaged starch content decreased by 33.2%, and the amount of water-soluble carbohydrates became 5 times as big. Besides, under the influence of high temperature and pressure, the total number of bacteria decreased by 89%, and that of mould fungi by 83%. During storage of the feed additive for 6 months, the QMAFAnM decreased by 32.5%. The resulting feed additive will solve the problem utilizing canning industry by-products, expand the raw material base and reduce feed consumption.
From Researching the Queering Potential of Music Therapy to Queering Music Therapy: An Unexpected Journey
Authors: Fent Julia
Published: November 2019

In my article, I intend to trace the route from which the development and realization of an arts-based research project has led me. In this still ongoing project, I am aiming to explore in what way improvisation in music therapy fosters the emergence of ways of feeling and expressing that are excluded from hegemonic discourse and thus enables personal growth and development also in ways marginalized through certain societal norms. I started off with a theoretical concept merging psychoanalysis, queer theory, and music therapy theory and wanted to explore the specific potentials of musical action, which this concept entails. I chose an arts-based research style for this examination, as I intended not only to formulate and discuss these potentials,but also to focus on how they are experienced by individuals. I felt that, if I am interested in direct experience, I had to involve research methods that induce this experience – merely talking or thinking about them would not bring me far in that respect.

As the project is still ongoing, I cannot provide a final presentation of results here. However, there is already one result which I want to make the main topic of this article. Unexpectedly, in the course of the project I not only dealt with queering in respect to contents, but queering was also a process in which I found myself. In this article, I will elaborate why and how this happened.

I will first outline the motivation and development of the research project. Next, I will focus on the theoretical framework: first from the work of Julia Kristeva (1984/1974) – particularly Kristeva’s conception of the subject as a sujet-en-procès (a subject-in-process) and the conception of different modes of meaning-making, and second from queer theory. Finally, I will elaborate on my personal experiences during the project which enabled me to critically examine music therapy in a way of ‘queering’ my understanding of music therapy.
Queering Queer Spaces: Journey of a Creative Arts Program for Trans, Non-Binary, and Gender Creative Youth
Authors: Hardy Spencer , Monypenny Juniper
Published: November 2019

As community spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals continue to expand and evolve, a variety of music and art-based programs have begun to develop. The potential for creative arts therapists to cultivate and expand these programs is without question. This article seeks to present one such program targeted towards transgender, nonbinary, gender creative, and questioning youth, age 10-14, who are seeking support in navigating their gender identity and the challenges of identifying outside of the “norm” of cisgender. Finding ourselves at a crossroads between traditional clinical mental health services and community-based approaches, we discuss the intentionality behind “queering” our program development as well as a spectrum of challenges and opportunities faced in piloting the program. We suggest that bringing creative arts therapy into queer spaces must be done through an anti-oppressive approach seeking to minimize power dynamics and increase safety. We must also create inclusive spaces that embrace intersectionality in order to provide safe, accessible, and empowering programs for LGBTQ+ individuals.
Imagining Something Else: A Queer Essay

This queer essay is in three sections. In the first two sections I take two different flights over the realms of sense, terminology, speaking, in-bodyment, and materiality. In some of the moments of reading, I will be considering the potentially oppressive+anti-oppressive and the potentially tortuous+emancipatory. Underlying the written words and drawn images, I wonder how disciplinary queering of the scene reveals how people and things are inseparable.

No matter what my questioning verbal discourse may do, I am also reminded that SomeThings and SomeBodies also remain resilient and agential. I wish to show how I think it is actually im+materiality which does the queering towards which I increasingly feel called to attend and care. I consider how systematic disengagement from, and diffraction of dominant narrative mechanisms scream out for the perception of a multiplicity of ontological commitments: Could the capacities of what I call the ‘Queer Nervous non-System (QNn-S)’ emancipate the anthropocentric from the Central, Peripheral and Social Nervous Systems?

In the final third section, I introduce my thoughts about Materiality Inscription Analysis (MIA) aimed at how to perform reiterative flights and queering within music therapy research and practice. This is one way that I am advocating for the persistent study of the ontogeneology and ontogenesis of music therapy.

With this digitalized hand-written and drawn essay I wish a renewed unsettling of the becomings of music therapy, that it/they may be globally uniqued, may be temporary, and may be polymodally sensed. Somethings else, somethings more. Perhaps.
Whose Knowledge? Epistemic Injustice and Challenges in Hearing Children`s' Voices
Authors: Klyve Guro Parr
Published: November 2019

In this essay, I will discuss the importance of having an awareness about epistemic justice, epistemic ignorance and epistemic injustice, and why this awareness is important in connection to children and patients in mental health care. I also suggest ways to avoid epistemic injustice when working with, and doing research with, children in mental health care. In doing so, I tie this to feminist epistemology where conceptions such as knowledge, knowers and objectivity are questioned, and dominant conceptions and practices of knowledge production are perceived as a systematic disadvantage of women and other subordinated groups (Anderson, 2017). I am as well linking this to queer epistemology which differs from feminist standpoint epistemology in the idea of the identity being “a point of departure for shared consciousness” (Hall, 2017, p. 163).

Significance Statement

Sustained activation of EGF receptor (EGFR) in proximal tubule cells (PTCs) is a hallmark of fibrotic CKD, but the molecular mechanism(s) involved are unknown. Here, we show that the injury-upregulated, low-affinity EGFR ligand amphiregulin (AREG) amplifies its own signaling in PTCs and integrates signals of other moderately injury-upregulated EGFR ligands by inducing the transcriptional regulator Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1). In vivo, AREG is necessary and sufficient to induce kidney fibrosis after injury, as AREG PTC-knockout mice exhibit protection and soluble AREG injection suffices to reverse protection in mice that cannot release EGFR ligands from PTCs. Our results identify AREG as a critical driver of the transition of kidney injury to fibrosis.

Background

Sustained activation of EGF receptor (EGFR) in proximal tubule cells is a hallmark of progressive kidney fibrosis after AKI and in CKD. However, the molecular mechanisms and particular EGFR ligands involved are unknown.

Methods

We studied EGFR activation in proximal tubule cells and primary tubular cells isolated from injured kidneys in vitro. To determine in vivo the role of amphiregulin, a low-affinity EGFR ligand that is highly upregulated with injury, we used ischemia-reperfusion injury or unilateral ureteral obstruction in mice with proximal tubule cell–specific knockout of amphiregulin. We also injected soluble amphiregulin into knockout mice with proximal tubule cell–specific deletion of amphiregulin’s releasing enzyme, the transmembrane cell-surface metalloprotease, a disintegrin and metalloprotease-17 (ADAM17), and into ADAM17 hypomorphic mice.

Results

Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1)–dependent upregulation of amphiregulin transcript and protein amplifies amphiregulin signaling in a positive feedback loop. YAP1 also integrates signals of other moderately injury-upregulated, low-affinity EGFR ligands (epiregulin, epigen, TGFα), which also require soluble amphiregulin and YAP1 to induce sustained EGFR activation in proximal tubule cells in vitro. In vivo, soluble amphiregulin injection sufficed to reverse protection from fibrosis after ischemia-reperfusion injury in ADAM17 hypomorphic mice; injected soluble amphiregulin also reversed the corresponding protective proximal tubule cell phenotype in injured proximal tubule cell–specific ADAM17 knockout mice. Moreover, the finding that proximal tubule cell–specific amphiregulin knockout mice were protected from fibrosis after ischemia-reperfusion injury or unilateral ureteral obstruction demonstrates that amphiregulin was necessary for the development of fibrosis.

Conclusions

Our results identify amphiregulin as a key player in injury-induced kidney fibrosis and suggest therapeutic or diagnostic applications of soluble amphiregulin in kidney disease.
Hoş Geldin Kültüründen Popülizme
Authors: ALKAN Mustafa Nail
Published: November 2019

Dünya üzerinde her yıl milyonlarca insan savaşlar, iç çatışmalar, zulüm,

şiddet olayları ve hak ihlalleri nedeniyle yaşadıkları yerleri terk etmek

zorunda kalmaktadır. Ülkelerindeki iç savaştan kaçan Suriyelilerin yaşadıkları

zorluklar, Almanya halkının mültecilere yönelik bir “Hoş Geldin Kültürü”

oluşturmasına ve Almanya kapılarının mültecilere açılmasına sebebiyet vermiştir.

Ancak, savaşın uzaması ve mültecilerin popülist söylemlere konu edilmesi

sonucunda bu Hoş Geldin Kültürü zamanla erozyona uğratılmıştır. PEGIDA ve

Almanya için Alternatif Partisi gibi popülist söylemleri kendi çıkarları için

kullananlar kendilerine gün geçtikçe daha fazla sempatizan elde etmektedirler.

2017 Federal Parlamento seçim sonuçlarına göre aşırı sağ Almanya için

Alternatif Partisi Federal Parlamentoya ilk kez girerken popülist söylemlerini

Parlamento çatısı altında yürütmekte ve araştırmalara göre oyunu

arttırmaktadır. PEGIDA ise mitinglerine daha fazla katılımcı çekmeye ve adını

Almanya dışında da duyurmaya başlamıştır. İçeride gördüğü destek popülist

söylemler sonrası gittikçe azalan mülteci yararına politikalar, Avrupa

Birliği’ne üye ülkelerin Almanya’yı bu konuda yalnız bırakmasıyla daha da fazla

tartışılır hale gelmektedir. Popülistlere karşı içeride oy kaybeden ve

dışarıdan da istediği desteği bulamayan Alman Hükûmeti kendisini bir kısır

döngü içerisinde bulmaktadır. Bu döngüden çıkmak için önerilen alternatiflerin

hayata geçirilmesi ise popülizm ile yıpratılmış Hoş Geldin Kültürünün sonu

anlamına gelecektir. Çalışmanın amacı; popülist söylemlerin, uzun vadeli,

geleneksel söylemlere karşı etkisini Almanya vakası üzerinden incelemektir. Bu

inceleme sonucunda özellikle mülteci krizleri, yabancı düşmanlığı gibi yakın

dönemdeki gelişmelerin popülist söylemlerin etkisini arttırarak aşırı sağ

partilerin oylarını arttırmasında etkili oldukları gözlemlenmektedir.

Authors: Silveira Murilo Mauro , Vianna William Barbosa , Cândido Ana Clara
Published: November 2019

El objetivo de este estudio es proponer y legitimar junto a los especialistas de bibliotecas de la región sur de Brasil un modelo formal multicriterio para la implementación de un programa de gestión de la innovación en bibliotecas. La importancia de esta investigación está justificada por la escasez de estudios empíricos para la implementación de la gestión de la innovación en las bibliotecas, así como por la participación de los responsables de la toma de decisiones en este proceso. Respecto a los procedimientos metodológicos, se caracterizan por su naturaleza cualitativa, exploratoria en cuanto al objeto de estudio y hace uso de la metodología muticritério en apoyo a la decisión constructivista (MCDA-C). Por último, la técnica Delphi fue utilizada para legitimar el modelo propuesto, contando con la participación de especialistas/administradores bibliotecarios. Los resultados apuntaron a la robustez del modelo teórico por la concordancia con 40 elementos y alertaron sobre dos puntos críticos.
