Authors: Blanga Gubbay Daniel
Published: August 2017

Im Jahr 1983 hat sich David Hammons in New York am Cooper Square porträtieren lassen, lächelnd vor einem Tuch, zu seinen Füßen eine Reihe von Schneebällen, sorgfältig auf den Boden gelegt und fein säuberlich der Größe nach angeordnet. Der Artikel beginnt mit diesem Bild der Performance „Bliz-aard Ball-Sale“, um anhand ihrer verschiedenen Elemente – der Bedingungen von Hammons, des ausgebreiteten Tuches oder der Schneebälle – die verschiedenen Aspekte des Ausstellungsmomentes, des heterotopischen Raumes oder der Überreste des ephemeren Werkes zu analysieren. Bliz-aard Ball Sale wird hier als ein Bild aufgenommen, das geeignet ist, die Frage nach der Beziehung zwischen Ausstellungswert und Musealisierung zu entfalten.
Internship programmes – bridge between school and professional life
Authors: Goia Agoston Simona Irina , Igret Ramona Stefania , Marinas Cristian Virgil
Published: August 2017

All stakeholders involved in the academic educational process (e.g. students, universities, organizations, state institutions) have a direct interest in developing appropriate skills among students aimed at increasing their employability chances on the very competitive labour market and in the same time lessening the transition from school to professional life. Qualitative internship programs are considered a useful instrument which can be used in order to achieve the aforementioned objective. In the last years in Romania this field boomed, many internship programs emerged and were developed and tailored according to specific needs of certain domains. This growth was triggered of one hand side by the initiatives of the socio-economic environment but also by incentives offered by the public sector in form of financing the development of such programs in universities. Which are the main characteristics of internship programs? How are they identified and structured? Which are the factors that influence their quality from students’ perspective? What strategies and measures can be adopted in order to improve the quality of internship programs? The present paper aims at addressing the above questions by analysing the responses of over 450 students which were surveyed within a questionnaire based research conducted in the Bucharest University of Economic Studies in Romania. Various research methods – starting with the analysis of descriptive statistics and continuing with factor analysis and regression analysis- were used in order offer an overview – as comprehensible as possible- of the situation of internship programs in various sectors in the field of business, economics and administration. The outcomes of the study can be of interest for several groups of stakeholders and can be taken into consideration when formulating and proposing improvement recommendations of the policies, regulations and operational measures in this field.
A sustainable approach to optimum utilization of used foundry sand in concrete
Authors: Rashid Khuram , Nazir Sana
Published: August 2017

Conservation of natural resources, healthy environments, and optimal utilization of waste materials are intimate needs of the present time, and this research work was carried out to fulfill these needs. In this experimental and analytical study, concrete was prepared by replacing natural fine aggregates with two types of used foundry sands by 10%, 20% and 30% (by volume). The properties of fresh and hardened concrete were investigated and compared with a replacement amount of fine aggregates from 0% to 30%. Compressive strength was evaluated after 7, 28 and 63 days of moist curing. Along with compressive strength, the modulus of elasticity was also investigated and a reduction in compressive strength and modulus of elasticity was observed with the increase in the amount of used foundry sand. A prediction formula was proposed to predict the compressive strength, and verified by current experimental observations and also with a large database that was also established in this work. The prediction formula may be considered as very helpful for predicting the potential of using used foundry sand as an aggregate in concrete.
Gender and Eroticism in Contemporary Art from South Africa
Authors: Pawłowska Aneta
Published: August 2017

The aim of this article is to present the interaction between the history of lesbian and gay culture and its identity on the one hand, and the connection between the visual art or visual culture on the other hand. This essay endeavors to interpret the different meanings attached to sexual identities by examining the diverse artistic activities of a variety of artists: both men and women (e.g. Steven Cohen, Clive van den Berg, Andrew Verster, Nicolas Hlobo, Jean Brundrit, Zanele Muholi). Employing an intersectional analytical approach, the article shows that the identity of art is constructed alongside a person’s multiple identities, such as race, gender, family ties, religion and class. The main research question is whether in today’s visual art originating from South Africa, which is characterized by a hegemony of heterosexual stereotypes, there is a significant place for gender oriented art?
The innate immune receptor MDA5 limits rotavirus infection but promotes cell death and pancreatic inflammation
Authors: Dou Yu , Yim Howard CH , Kirkwood Carl D , Williams Bryan RG , Sadler Anthony J
Published: August 2017

Melanoma differentiation‐associated protein 5 (MDA5) mediates the innate immune response to viral infection. Polymorphisms in IFIH1, the gene coding for MDA5, correlate with the risk of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D). Here, we demonstrate that MDA5 is crucial for the immune response to enteric rotavirus infection, a proposed etiological agent for T1D. MDA5 variants encoded by minor IFIH1 alleles associated with lower T1D risk exhibit reduced activity against rotavirus infection. We find that MDA5 activity limits rotavirus infection not only through the induction of antiviral interferons and pro‐inflammatory cytokines, but also by promoting cell death. Importantly, this MDA5‐dependent antiviral response is specific to the pancreas of rotavirus‐infected mice, similar to the autoimmunity associated with T1D. These findings imply that MDA5‐induced cell death and inflammation in the pancreas facilitate progression to autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β‐cells.

The senility tsunami in Iran
Authors: Sadeghi Gandomani Hamidreza , Ghoncheh Mahshid , Salehiniya Hamid
Published: August 2017

One of the achievements of the 21st century is the aging population (Angus and Reeve, 2006). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), senility is passing the 60th birthday (Bengtson and Allen, 2009). According to forecasts, by 2050, the population of the world 65-year-old age group will reach over 1.4 billion people from 550 million. It means that the world's aging index, rising from 24 people in 1950 to 33 people in 2000, will increase to 101 people in 2050 (Christensen et al., 2009). Currently, due to lower birth rates, increased life expectancy, health promotion, and disease detection, Iran is also in the age structure transition phase of the population from youth to senility (Noroozian, 2012). Therefore, elderly people are considered as the largest population group in Iran. According to the census conducted in 2016, the ratio of the elderly of Iran reached 6.1% in the past five years from 5.7% (Yearbook, 2017). It is anticipated that by 2050, the Iran’s elderly population will reach 31.5% of the total population of the country (Yearbook, 2013, 2017). Due to the WHO, the world's elderly population will reach 21.5% in 2050 and 24% in Asia (Organization, 2009), according to which the population of the elderly people in Iran will be higher than the whole world average and the Asia average till 4 years (Yearbook, 2017). This demographic crisis in Iran can be called the senility tsunami, which can be debatable in various aspects including social, economic, health, medical, and political, in developing countries like Iran.

***Risk of shoulder injuries in sugarcane workers: analysis based on the simulation of the movements***AIMS: To evaluate whether the amplitude angles of shoulder flexion and abduction, in the movements performed during a simulation of the sugarcane cutting task, exceed the limits considered safe. METHODS: Non-randomized controlled simulations of the movement of sugarcane cutting were performed in volunteers recruited among university students. Inclusion criteria were (a) male sex; (b) age between 21 and 40 years; (c) right handed; (d) without orthopedic and/or neurological impairment; (e) physical characteristics and a history of work activities similar to that of sugarcane cutters; (f) performing aerobic physical activity at least three times a week in the last six months. The exclusion criteria were (a) presence of pain during the tests; and (b) inability to perform the movement. The study was carried out in the laboratory of occupational biomechanics of the Center for Study and Research in Ergonomics of the School of Science and Technology of the State University of São Paulo. The kinematic data were collected by the Vicon® Three-Dimensional Movement Analysis System. The movements of flexion and abduction of the right shoulder were measured and classified. The parameters used as reference to evaluate the results were those published by the Ministry of Health of Brazil, which synthesizes the safe limits of amplitude of these movements. RESULTS: Ten subjects were evaluated, with a mean age of 24.5±4.78 years. A total of 39 samples obtained with the movement repetitions were analyzed during an average period of 30 seconds. The angle of shoulder in flexion remained above 30 degrees during 98.18% of the task execution time, above 45 degrees during 88.84%, above 60 degrees during 42.19% and above 90 degrees during 7.72% of the time. The abduction angle remained above 60 degrees throughout all the time and above 90 degrees during 57.59% of the time. In the amplitude of movement spikes, abduction apertures with angles greater than 100 degrees were observed.CONCLUSIONS: During most of the time of the experiments that simulated the movement of sugarcane cutting, the flexion and abduction angles of the shoulder were above those considered safe, indicating that the activity performed by sugarcane cutters has a strong potential to cause damage to the shoulder joint.

Pusat Teknologi Radioisotop dan Radiofarmaka (PTRR) BATAN telah mengembangkan Material Berbasis Zirkonium (MBZ) dengan kapasitas serap terhadap Molibdenum-99 (99Mo) lebih dari 150 mg Molibdenum/gram. Material ini masih perlu dikembangkan, salah satunya adalah kemampuannya untuk melepaskan Teknesium-99m (99mTc) pada saat proses elusi. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan studi pengaruh aktivitas 99Mo terhadap profil rendemen 99mTc. Variasi aktivitas 99Mo yakni diserapkan ke dalam MBZ, kemudian 99mTc dielusi setiap hari sampai hari keenam dengan menggunakan larutan NaCl 0,9%. Berdasarkan analisis ANOVA two-factor without replication dengan taraf signifikansi 5%, ditemukan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan pada profil rendemen 99mTc dengan variasi aktivitas 99Mo (P-value=0,017631), perbedaan juga ditemukan pada pola garis regresinya. Semakin besar aktivitas 99Mo yang diserapkan ke MBZ, semakin rendah persentase hasil elusi 99mTc yang diperoleh pada hari pertama dan cenderung meningkat pada elusi berikutnya.

Published: August 2017

Isotop 32P digunakan untuk mengukur pembentukan protein mikroba dalam cairan rumen serta untuk mendapatkan formula suplemen pakan baru (SPB). Suplemen ini merupakan generasi baru untuk pakan ternak ruminansia yang dihasilkan oleh BATAN. Suplemen ini diaplikasikan untuk melengkapi fungsi konsentrat komersial sebagai pakan ruminansia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk untuk menguji SPB dan limbah kelapa sawit sebagai suplemen dan bahan pakan ruminansia serta mengetahui dinamika hasil fermentasi rumen konsentrat yang mengandung SPB. Kegiatan penelitian dibagi menjadi dua yaitu pengukuran pembentukan protein mikroba dalam cairan rumen dengan isotop 32P dan pengukuran dinamika hasil fermentasi yang diinkubasi di dalam RUSITEC. Studi pertama menggunakan lima macam perlakuan yaitu : pelepah (P), tandan (TKS), kernel cangkang kelapa sawit (KC), P+TKS+KC dan SPB. Peubah yang diamati adalah pembentukan protein mikroba (mg/jam/l). Perlakuan pakan pada studi kedua yaitu pakan kontrol (K) (konsentrat komersial); KS 30 (konsentrat komersial 70% + SPB 30%) dan KS 40 (konsentrat komersial 60% + SPB 40%). Peubah yang diamati adalah hasil fermentasi rumen (24 jam inkubasi) berupa pH, konsentrasi amonia (N-NH3) (mg%), volatile fatty acid (VFA) total (mM), populasi protozoa (sel/ml), produksi gas total (ml) dan produksi gas metan (CH4) (ml). Dinamika fermentasi rumen direpresentasikan secara deskriptif pada enam hari inkubasi. Rata-rata peubah dianalisis menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 12 ulangan (enam hari inkubasi x dua ulangan) dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan. Hasil pembentukan protein mikroba perlakuan P, TKS,  KC, P+TKS+KC dan SPB berturut-turut: 11,90; 0,67; 1,87; 42.55 dan 67,60 mg/jam/l. Hasil uji RUSITEC adalah nilai pH ketiga perlakuan berkisar normal antara 6,4-7,15. Dinamika konsentrasi NH3 dan produksi VFA total konsentrat komersial selalu lebih rendah dibandingkan KS 30 dan KS 40. Perlakuan KS 40 menghasilkan produksi VFA total sebesar 56,7% lebih tinggi dibanding konsentrat komersial. Penambahan SPB sebesar 40% pada konsentrat komersial dapat menstabilkan pH efluen RUSITEC. konsentrasi NH3, produksi VFA total dan produksi gas total cenderung tinggi tanpa meningkatkan produksi gas CH4 sebagai representasi dari efisiensi pakan ruminansia.

Penentuan Kemurnian Radiokimia 99mTc-MIBI dengan Cepat Dan Praktis menggunakan Metoda Ekstraksi. Pengujian radiokimia umumnya menggunakan metoda kromatografi lapis tipis (KLT), akan tetapi memerlukan waktu pengujian lama. Oleh karena itu, perlu alternatif menggunakan metoda ekstraksi yang lebih praktis dan cepat. Pengujian dilakukan dengan cara 99mTc-MIBI diekstraksi menggunakan campuran salin dan chloroform dengan perbandingan volume = 1:1.  Campuran diekstraksi sehingga terpisah antara 99mTc-MIBI dan pengotornya, yaitu 99mTc-MIBI dalam fasa organik (Chloroform) sedangkan 99mTcO2 dan 99mTcO4- keduanya dalam fasa air (salin). Kemudian, masing-masing dicuplik dengan volume yang sama dan diukur radioaktivitasnya menggunakan Gamma Ionisation Chamber dan dihitung kemurnian radiokimianya. Hasil ekstraksi dibandingkan dengan pengujian menggunakan metoda baku KLT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengujian radiokimia  kit 99mTc-MIBI menggunakan kedua metoda tersebut hasilnya hampir sama, yaitu =98,34%±0,65 (metoda baku KLT) dan 97,15%±0,56 (metode ekstraksi) dengan kepresisian pengukuran yang baik, yaitu RSD <1% (RSD metode baku KLT=0,65% dan metode ekstraksi 0,56%). Waktu pengujian yang diperlukan dengan metoda ekstraksi = 20 menit  dan metoda baku KLT =180 menit. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa metoda ekstraksi dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif dalam pengujian radiokimia kit MIBI. Keunggulan metoda ekstraksi adalah waktu pengujian lebih cepat dibandingkan metoda KLT.Kata kunci : Kemurnian Radiokimia, 99mTc-MIBI, metoda ekstraksi, metoda Kromatografi Lapis Tipis

In the past 40 years, assistance to children — aged from newborn to 3 years old with developmental disabilities, limitations of life activity or having a risk of developing disorders — is actively developing. Such technology of assisting small children and their families is called «early intervention». For more than 25 years, support for families and small children under programs of early intervention has been introduced in Russia. In our country, the term «early help» is used to describe this type of assistance. Basic definitions used to describe the technology, the methodological foundations and principles of early assistance, the organizational basis for the implementation of early assistance are considered in this article.

Published: August 2017

Early help for children with autism spectrum disorders is the most effective way of intervention for disorders. In the process of identifying children at risk of autistic disorders, correctional work should begin before the official diagnosis has been made. It should start in the process of diagnosis, which leads to the risk of noting false-positive cases. The empirical and theoretical grounds for the necessity for early care in autism spectrum disorders are examined. Features of early care for children at high risk of developing disorders are also de¬scribed. The stages of early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders are identified and compared with the stages of early care for such children. The strategy of early care methodological support for children at risk is defined. Propositions for practical realizations of the Concept of developing early support in Russian Federation in the period until 2020 for the risk group concerning autism spectrum disorders.

Authors: Davydova E.Y. , Sorokin A.B.
Published: August 2017

Early diagnosis of developmental disorders is critical for the efficiency of intervention. However, timely detection is complicated by the absence of a biological test, insufficient specificity of screening instruments as well as low awareness among parents and professionals about characteristics of early age behavior and communication. The article presents a new module of the ADOS-2, a widely-used observation schedule for people presumed to have an autism spectrum disorder. This module is designed for use with children of 12 to 30 months of age.

Authors: Rakhmanina I.N.
Published: August 2017

Present article describes actual problems of early comprehensive care for children with autism spectrum disor¬ders, as well as solutions to these problems on the example of the region. Realization of the early intervention system is possible through the establishment of habilitation and developmental environment, which is a spe¬cially organized environment that promotes the development and correction of the motor, mental, speech and communication spheres during the joint stay and / or activity of children, and their interaction with adults. In its turn, the habilitation and developing environment includes five components: social support; diagnostics; medical and re-adaptation; subject-play; psychological — pedagogical. Presented components of environment promote and improve the development of children of infant and early age with autism spectrum disorders or the risk of their occurrence with the aim to maximize the possible socialization of children. The experience describes a number of technologies implemented within the mentioned components.

Is it possible to prevent the birth of a child with autism?
Authors: Chuprikov A.P.
Published: August 2017

Recovery of health in families planning a child and pregnancy support in families at risk of a child with autism are the necessary measures, which, along with the results of researching certain patterns in epigenetic inheritances of autism, lead scientists to conclusions about the possibility to reduce the future birth rate of such children. The results of studying of some of the patterns of epigenetic inheritance of autistic disorders are also lead scientists to those conclusions. A short review of the array of works related to the topic of preventing the birth of children with autism and the results of a study of an Ukrainian medical team that confirms the hypothesis about seasonality in births of autistic children are presented. Seasonality of the birth of children with autism and psychoorganic syndrome was studied, fluctuations in the birth of sick children throughout the year, highly reliable for those with autism (р<0,001). Some measures are offered to reduce the risk of ASD, primarily accompanying the family by a medical psychologist.

INTRODUCCIÓN: la bronquiolitis obliterante post-infecciosa es una enfermedad pulmonar crónica de la niñez, secuela de una bronquiolitis aguda, ocurrida en los primeros meses de vida. La bronquiolitis obliterante post-infecciosa se ha reportado en baja altura o a nivel del mar pero no encontramos descripciones en alturas por encima de los 2500 m.OBJETIVO: evaluar las características y el pronóstico de los niños con diagnóstico de bronquiolitis obliterante post-infecciosa en Bogotá- Colombia a 2640 m de altura. MÉTODOS: los pacientes fueron derivados de la Clínica de Neumología Pediátrica de Compensar EPS, que recibe niños con patología respiratoria compleja referidos por su pediatra. El estudio fue llevado a cabo entre enero de 2015 y junio de 2016 y se incluyeron todos los casos que cumplieran los requisitos para el diagnóstico de bronquiolitis obliterante post-infecciosa, de acuerdo a las recomendaciones de la literatura médica. La investigación tuvo un componente retrospectivo y otro prospectivo. RESULTADOS: encontramos 21 casos de bronquiolitis obliterante postinfecciosa en el período referido. El tiempo promedio de seguimiento fue de 5.6 años y la edad promedio del evento inicial de 6.7 meses. El 76% de los casos correspondieron al sexo masculino y el 76% requirieron ventilación mecánica en el cuadro inicial. La evolución fue de regular a mala en el 71% de los casos, el 33% de los pacientes presentaron bronquiectasias y el 43% tenía hipertensión pulmonar en su primera evaluación. CONCLUSIONES: presentamos el primer estudio de las características y seguimiento de la bronquiolitis obliterante post-infecciosa en alturas superiores a los 2500 m sobre el nivel del mar. Los principales factores asociados al desarrollo de la enfermedad y su pronóstico a mediano plazo fueron similares a lo descrito a baja altura y a nivel del mar.

Violence Prevention and the Canadian Girl Child
Authors: Jiwani Yasmin , Berman Helene , Cameron Ann
Published: August 2017

The authors argue that because there are no groups of girls or young women that can be considered immune from gender-based or systemic violence, there is a significant need for the inclusion and recognition of the girl child in official policies, programs, and legislation. In their view, a fundamental recognition of the specificities of the gendered nature of violence, particularly as it intersects with age, race, class, ability, and sexual orientation is required. Moreover, the antecedent roots of violence need to be identified, as they provide sites for effective and early intervention. They discuss the social and historical context of the girl child in Canada and follow this analysis with a presentation of the research carried out by the Alliance of Five Research Centres on Violence and its consequent implications for policy and programming. Finally, the authors append a detailed list of concrete recommendations for policy-makers at all levels of government, as well as for service providers and the media, covering such areas as education, service delivery, and future research.
CORRELATES OF BINGE DRINKING IN A SAMPLE OF CANADIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: Edkins Tamara , Edgerton Jason D. , Roberts Lance W.
Published: August 2017

There is a lack of recent research exploring the differences between binge and non-binge drinkers among Canadian university students. The current study aims to address this gap in the literature through an exploratory statistical analysis. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses were employed to identify the prevalence of binge drinking, as well as its various sociodemographic, behavioural, and mental health correlates. A large majority (83.1%) of the 507 respondents reported consuming alcohol in the previous 12 months; of these, 69.7% (67.0% of males, 70.9% of females) reported engaging in binge drinking (5 drinks in one session for males, 4 for females) at least once in the previous 30 days. Although there was no significant gender difference in the prevalence of binge drinking, there were several gender differences among the correlates. Compared to non-binge drinkers, male binge drinkers reported greater life satisfaction, and greater probability of smoking cigarettes and engaging in risky sex, while females reported greater impulsivity and lower religiosity. As expected, binge drinkers experienced more adverse consequences from alcohol consumption than did non-binge drinkers, but unexpectedly did not differ significantly in mental health and wellbeing. Limitations of the present study and future research directions are discussed with a view to improving our understanding of risk and protective factors related to unhealthy alcohol consumption among university students in Canada and abroad.
THE FUTURE OF CHILD AND YOUTH CARE EDUCATION: INSIGHTS FROM CANADA
Authors: Mann-Feder Varda , Scott Daniel G. , Hardy Bruce
Published: August 2017

This article reports on an analysis of a conversation held at a World Café gathering in the spring of 2014. At that time, a group of 25 professionals involved in higher education in Child and Youth Care engaged in a discussion of challenges that have implications for the future of the field. Four major themes emerged: tensions between theory and practice, issues related to Child and Youth Care values, trends and traditions in Child and Youth Care, and questions about professional integrity and identity. These themes are discussed in light of ongoing debates in the literature. The results of our discussions also underscore the need to harmonize divisions in the field and consolidate an agreed-upon knowledge base for Child and Youth Care.
RISK OF PSYCHOSOCIAL PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS RECEIVE OUTPATIENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT
Authors: Geschiere Marina E. , Spijkerman Renske , De Glopper Anke
Published: August 2017

The entrance of parents into substance abuse treatment provides a unique opportunity to discuss parenting with them, and to inquire about the psychological wellbeing of their children. This is important because parental substance abuse is associated with an increased risk for the development of mental health problems in children. In this study, clients from a Dutch outpatient treatment facility who had custody of or regular contact with their children completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) about their children aged 4 to 17 years (N = 99), after being referred to a parenting consultation with a specialized professional. Compared to other studies conducted in Western Europe and Australia with similar at-risk populations, the SDQ results in the present study suggested a lower percentage of children with psychosocial problem behavior. Still, 29% of the children in our sample showed psychosocial problems in the clinical range. According to logistic regression analyses, which tested associations between client and family characteristics and risk of psychosocial problems, 5 factors (client’s gender, education level, presence of financial debts, child’s age, and absence of siblings) were associated with a higher likelihood of one or more types of psychosocial problems. Present findings suggest that, of children whose substance-abusing parents enter outpatient treatment, almost one third may have psychosocial problems that require further assessment and treatment.
THE IMPACT OF POSITIVE SCHOOL EXPERIENCES AND SCHOOL SES ON DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS IN CHINESE CHILDREN: A MULTILEVEL INVESTIGATION
Authors: Yue Yang
Published: August 2017

The current study investigates the effects of teacher support, school connectedness, and school socioeconomic status (SES) on youth depressive symptoms. Data were collected from a sample of 881 students in Grade 6 from 10 primary schools in Northwest China. Hierarchical linear modeling indicated that higher levels of teacher support, school connectedness, and school SES were significantly associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Further, the relationships between school-level SES and youth depressive symptoms varied by the participant’s perceived level of teacher support and perceived level of school connectedness. These findings underscore the importance of positive school experiences on child psychological outcomes. Implications for future research on Chinese youth are discussed.
