The prevalence of ANA antibodies, anticentromere antibodies, and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome compared to patients with dryness symptoms without primary Sjögren’s syndrome confirmation
Authors: Maślińska Maria , Mańczak Małgorzata , Wojciechowska Bożena , Kwiatkowska Brygida
Published: July 2017

Objectives: Our study analyses the prevalence of ANA, anti-SS-A, anti-SS-B, and ACA and ACPA antibodies in patients with pSS and with dryness symptoms without pSS confirmation, and the association of ACPA and ACA antibodies with specific clinical symptoms.

Materials and methods: 113 patients were divided into two groups: I – with diagnosed pSS (N = 75); and II – with dryness without pSS evidence (N = 38). Diagnostics: indirect immunofluorescence (IF; Hep-2 cell line) of antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-SS-A anti-SS-B antibodies determined with semi-quantitative method, autoantibody profile (14 antigens, ANA Profil 3 EUROLINE); basic laboratory, ophthalmic examination tests, minor salivary gland biopsy with focus score (FS), joint and lung evaluation, and ESSDAI questionnaire (pSS activity).

Results: 88% of group I had ANA antibodies (1 : 320 titre), 5.3% at 1 : 160. Anti-SS-A antibodies were present in 88% of group I, including all ANA 1 : 160. Anti-SS-A antibodies positively correlated with greater and moderate activity of ESSDAI 5 (p = 0.046) and FS. The presence of SS-B antibodies significantly affected disease activity. ACPA present: group I – 13% (associated with higher arthritis incidence; p = 0.003); group II – 8%. ACA antibodies present in 4% of group I, but not in group II. No ACA association with interstitial lung changes (small ACA + group excludes full conclusions).

Conclusions: ANA antibodies should also be considered in a titre of less than 1 : 320, but the presence of anti-SS-A antibodies is still the most important immunological marker for pSS. Anti-SS-A antibodies correlate with higher disease activity (ESSDAI ≥ 5) and higher FS. The presence of the anti-SS-B antibody was significantly affected by higher activity of the disease. The incidence of arthritis was higher in patients with ACPA+ pSS compared to ACPA– (p = 0.003). There was no relationship between ACPA and arthritis in patients with dry-type syndrome without diagnosis of pSS.
Nail involvement in psoriatic arthritis
Authors: Sobolewski Piotr , Walecka Irena , Dopytalska Klaudia
Published: July 2017

Nail psoriasis is considered a significant psychological and social problem causing functional impairment in affected patients. Nail changes hamper their daily and occupational activities and contribute to a worse quality of life. Almost 50% of patients with psoriasis vulgaris and up to 80% of patients with psoriatic arthritis are afflicted with nail lesions. The important correlation between psoriatic arthritis and nail changes is well established – the presence of the latter is a strong predictor of the development of arthritis. There is a broad spectrum of nail dystrophies associated with psoriasis, ranging from the common pitting, subungual hyperkeratosis and loosening of the nail plate to less frequent discolouration and splinter haemorrhages. Some of these symptoms are also observed in other nail diseases, and further diagnostics should be performed. The assessment tools NAPSI (Nail Psoriasis Severity Index), mNAPSI (Modified Nail Psoriasis Severity Index), and PNSS (Psoriasis Nail Severity Score) are most commonly used to grade the severity of nail involvement in psoriasis and enable the evaluation of therapy effectiveness. The treatment of nail psoriasis is a major clinical challenge. It should be adjusted to the extent of dermal, articular and ungual lesions. Systemic therapies of psoriasis, especially biological agents, are most likely to be effective in treating nail psoriasis. However, as their use is limited in scope and safety, topical therapy remains a mainstay, and the combination of corticosteroids and vitamin D3 analogues is considered to be most helpful.
Three atypical manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis: lateral medullary syndrome, anterior cheek mass and melting scleritis of eye
Authors: Shenavandeh Saeedeh , Petramfar Peyman
Published: July 2017

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, formerly Wegener granulomatosis) is a vasculitis with various organ involvement. There have been a few cases of CNS stroke and rare cases of lateral medullary infarction (LMI) as a manifestation of GPA. Also there have been reports of sinuses, nose and laryngeal masses mistakenly referred as carcinomas and subsequently GPA was diagnosed in their pathological reports. Another severe fulminant manifestation can be necrotizing scleritis leading to perforation of sclera. Therefore, here we present some rare and fulminant manifestations of GPA in 3 separate cases for further emphasis of the unusual manifestations of GPA that should always be kept in mind.

Abstract. Atmospheric water vapour plays a key role in the Arctic radiation budget, hydrological cycle and hence climate, but its measurement with high accuracy remains an important challenge. Total Column Water Vapour (TCWV) data set derived from ground-based GPS measurements are used to assess the quality of different existing satellite TCWV datasets, namely from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS), the Atmospheric Infrared System (AIRS), and the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY). The comparisons between GPS and satellite data are carried out for three reference Arctic observation sites (Sodankyla, Ny-Alesund and Thule) where long homogeneous GPS time series are available. We select hourly GPS data that are coincident with overpasses of the different satellites over the 3 sites and then average them into monthly means that are compared with monthly mean satellite products for different seasons. The agreement between GPS and satellite time series is generally within 5 % at all sites for most conditions. The weakest correlations are found during summer. Among all the satellite data, AIRS shows the best agreement with GPS time series, though AIRS TCWV is often slightly too high in drier atmospheres (i.e. high latitude stations during fall and winter). SCIAMACHY TCWV data are generally drier than GPS measurements at all the stations during the summer. This study suggests that these biases are associated with cloud cover, especially at Ny-Alesund and Thule. The dry biases of MODIS and SCIAMACHY observations are most pronounced at Sodankyla during the snow season (from October to March). Regarding SCIAMACHY, this bias is possibly linked to the fact that the SCIAMACHY TCWV retrieval does not take accurately into account the variations in surface albedo, notably in the presence of snow with a nearby canopy as in Sodankyla. The MODIS bias at Sodankyla is found to be correlated with cloud cover fraction and is also expected to be affected by other atmospheric or surface albedo changes linked for instance to the presence of forests or anthropogenic emissions. Overall, the results point out that a better estimation of seasonally-dependent surface albedo and a better consideration of vertically-resolved cloud cover are recommended if biases in satellite measurements are to be reduced in polar regions.
Transition pedagogies and the neoliberal episteme: What do academics think?
Authors: Hughes Kate
Published: July 2017

There has been much discussion of the massification of higher education and its impact on contemporary universities in terms of increased demands on academic staff in the context of neoliberal managerialism, and the power regimes which govern the sector. Less is written about the pedagogies used under neoliberalism. Many academics view tertiary education as both an individually and socially transformative process, and there is a sense that the current discursive environment engenders an inertia wherein this commitment is lost. This paper focusses on a small qualitative study of staff working in two universities at the bottom of the league tables. Their perceptions of pedagogical work and their views of their transformative potential under neoliberalism is discussed. The argument is made that there is the potential for building a space for critical education in contemporary universities. This article explores these issues, arguing that the use of transition pedagogies can create a transformative education.
Student interest as a key driver of engagement for first year students.
Authors: Kahu Ella R , Nelson Karen , Picton Catherine
Published: July 2017

Much has been written about the challenges faced by first year students at university. This paper adds to that literature by exploring student interest, known to be associated with persistence and learning. Using data from a qualitative study following 19 students through their first year at a regional Australian university, the paper examines the antecedents and consequences of student interest. Findings show the students’ existing individual interests and goals interact with the teaching environment to trigger situational interest. Situational interest then enhances behavioural and cognitive engagement and leads to better learning and grades. Perceived relevance of the learning task is shown to be a particularly important determinant of student interest. Students’ emotions, self-efficacy, and their sense of belonging are also important factors in explaining the links between student interest, the teaching environment, and student engagement.
Building a sense of belonging among tertiary commuter students: The Monash Non-Residential Colleges program
Authors: Fernandes Adam , Ford Allie , Rayner Gerry , Pretorius Lynette
Published: July 2017

Student engagement at university is significantly influenced by sense of belonging. In 2013, our university developed a novel extra-curricular program designed to foster a sense of belonging in students who commute to university – the Monash Non-Residential Colleges (NRC) program. This study examines whether participation in the Monash NRC program changed students’ perceptions about their university experience and their sense of belonging to the university community. We show that our NRC program appears to be effective in fostering a more positive university experience for students when compared with non-NRC students. Additionally, we demonstrate that our NRC program influenced students’ sense of belonging through increased interaction with peers and staff as well as greater reported attendance on campus.
The flipped classroom: A learning model to increase student engagement not academic achievement
Authors: Smallhorn Masha
Published: July 2017

A decrease in student attendance at lectures both nationally and internationally, has prompted educators to re-evaluate their teaching methods and investigate strategies which promote student engagement. The flipped classroom model, grounded in active learning pedagogy, transforms the face-to-face classroom. Students prepare for the flipped classroom in their own time by watching short online videos and completing readings. Face-to-face time is used to apply learning through problem-solving with peers. To improve the engagement and learning outcomes of our second year cohort, lectures were replaced with short online videos and face-to-face time was spent in a flipped classroom. The impact of the flipped classroom was analysed through surveys, attendance records, learning analytics and exam data before and after the implementation of the flipped classroom. Results suggest an increase in student engagement and a positive attitude towards the learning method. However, there were no measurable increases in student learning outcomes.
Distributed and collaborative: Experiences of local leadership of a first-year experience program
Authors: McKenzie Jo , Egea Kathy
Published: July 2017

Local level leadership of the first year experience (FYE) is critical for engaging academic and professional staff in working collaboratively on a whole of institution focus on student transition and success. This paper describes ways in which local informal leadership is experienced at faculty level in an institutional FYE program, based on interviews with faculty coordinators and small grant recipients. Initial analysis using the distributed leadership tenets described by Jones, Hadgraft, Harvey, Lefoe, and Ryland (2014) revealed features that enabled success, such as collaborative communities, as well as faculty differences influenced by the strength of the external mandate for change in the FYE. More fine-grained analysis indicated further themes in engaging others, enabling and enacting the FYE program that fostered internal mandates for change: gaining buy-in; being opportunistic; making use of evidence of success and recognition; along with the need for collegial support for coordinators and self-perceptions of leadership being about making connections, collaboration, trust and expertise.
Let’s Chat - A fresh take on the invaluable role of peer-to-peer conversation in student engagement, participation and inclusion
Authors: McFarlane Rosalind , Spes-Skrbis Marta , Taib Anne
Published: July 2017

This session reports on Monash University’s recently developed Let’s Chat program, delivered at three campuses as a modularised, peer learning opportunity for students from first year to PhD. Involving 3,591 student participants and facilitators in 2015 and 2016, the program responds directly to student feedback and recommendations. Let’s Chat maximises opportunities for peer-to-peer interaction with the aim of increasing participants’ confidence and competence in spoken English and intercultural communication. Informed by current trends in student-centred and peer-assisted learning theory, TESOL and intercultural communication, Let’s Chat is quickly establishing itself as an effective approach to supporting student participation, engagement and sense of belonging in diverse teaching and learning contexts and communities. The session presents a snapshot of the genesis of the program; an evaluation of its implementation; and a summary of emerging outcomes. The session also engages participants in a conversation about how this model might be replicated in other settings.
Students enabling students in a Student Partnership Project: A case study emerging from the OLT Transforming Practice Project on Student Partnerships
Authors: Kek Megan , Kimmins Lindy , Lawrence Jill , Abawi Lindy , Lindgren Courtney , Stokes Trent
Published: July 2017

This emerging initiative stemmed from an Office for Learning and Teaching Project (OLT) project, Transforming Practice Programme 2016: Student Engagement: Students as Partners in Teaching and Learning. The initiative, trialed in semester two, 2016, involved the selection and training of two experienced students to be leaders of a Closed Facebook ‘students-only’ community which provided advice and triaged queries to appropriate channels. The evaluative processes comprised a participatory action research methodology. Two student leaders who facilitated the Closed Facebook and four academic staff of the project were the participants. The findings demonstrate that the Closed Facebook students-only site provided a safe space, outside the formal learning/classroom environment, where student participants were able to ask and share knowledge. The informal student-for-student learning community complemented the formal structure by facilitating the opportunity for students to become ‘experts’ as university students as they move-through their learning journey.
Engaging ‘students as partners’ in the design and development of a peer-mentoring program
Authors: O'Shea Sarah , Bennett Sue , Delahunty Janine
Published: July 2017

This presentation focussed on an innovative approach to developing peer mentoring programs. Drawing upon a ‘student as partners’ framework, the presentation explored how this has been used to underpin an approach to peer mentoring from the ground up. University peer mentoring programs are largely designed and developed by staff, who not only recruit and train student mentors but also select frequency and type of involvement for all parties. This pilot project proposes a different approach by collaborating with students in the design, development and enactment of a peer-mentoring program within one School of Education. From this pilot, we will develop guidelines and recommendations for the implementation of student-led peer mentoring programs (Students as Partners in Mentoring: SaPiM) across the University of Wollongong (UOW).

Published: July 2017

Esta pesquisa do tipo descritiva com abordagem qualitativa buscou identificar a compreensão dos professores de Educação Física da rede pública municipal de Cuiabá em relação à avaliação da aprendizagem. Ocorreu em 52 escolas, com a participação de 92 professores dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. A partir do questionário adotado identificamos que embora 66% dos professores entendam o ato de avaliar como algo fácil e 75% reconheçam que os conhecimentos adquiridos durante a graduação foram suficientes ou parcialmente suficientes, há equívocos em relação ao conceito e função atribuídos a avaliação. Constatamos um engessamento por parte da SME de Cuiabá em relação aos descritores de avaliação, culminando na realização de uma tarefa burocrática, o que precisa ser revisto.

Published: July 2017

O objetivo foi sistematizar informações sobre indicadores de qualidade de vida (QV) de professores do Ensino Fundamental e Médio. A busca foi realizada em cinco bases de dados e nas referências dos artigos. Dos 14 estudos resultantes, 57% eram com professores de Educação Básica e 43% de Educação Física. A maioria dos estudos ressaltou insatisfação com a remuneração, condições de trabalho inconvenientes, escassez de tempo, ambiente desfavorável e problemas vocais. Conclui-se que a estrutura física, salários e sistemas organizacionais se destacam na literatura como aspectos negativamente associados à QV de professores. Estas evidências servem para nortear políticas de gestão escolar voltadas à melhoria da QV no trabalho e saúde em profissionais do âmbito escolar.

Authors: Zawadzki Patrick , Sabbi Ilezam Keila , Capeletto Eduardo
Published: July 2017

A necessidade de antecipar o saque do tênis para poder realizar uma resposta efetiva motivou a realização deste estudo. Com o objetivo de determinar o nível de antecipação, foi aplicado um teste de laboratório sob o paradigma de oclusão temporal. O resultado principal demostrou, nas primeiras fases do teste, os jogadores inexperientes mais efetivos que novatos. A possibilidade de que isto ocorra em função da experiência esportiva e da inibição psicológica promovidos pelas associações extras realizadas pelos novatos é discutida. Conclui-se que é necessário incluir o tema da antecipação nos planos de treinamento para que futuros atletas tenham meios de elaborar respostas ajustadas ao êxito esportivo.

An exploration of mental health literacy in relation to depression in secondary school pupils
Authors: Doyle Ericka , O’Sullivan Shaunagh , Nearchou Finiki , Hennessy Eilis
Published: July 2017

Mental Health Literacy (MHL) refers to knowledge and beliefs about mental health problems. Although mostly studied in adult samples, it has been associated with help-seeking intentions and health service use in adolescents. The aim of the present study was to explore depression MHL and its association with help seeking intentions in a sample of adolescent participants (n = 235, 135 males) from the final three years of secondary school (mean = 16.6 years, SD = .65) in Ireland. Knowledge of depression and help-seeking intentions were measured using vignettes and self-report instruments. Findings show that the majority of adolescents recognised that a combination of depression symptoms constituted a serious mental health problem. However, they demonstrated very low MHL levels on specific symptoms such as somatic pains.The finding of restricted knowledge of depression symptoms, indicates a need for targeted interventions to improve MHL, and specifically of symptoms of depression.

La traducció assistida per ordinador és una competència necessària per als futurs traductors. Els programes de traducció assistida més utilitzats en l’actualitat tenen la mateixa base teòrica però, a nivell pràctic, presenten característiques diferents. En aquest article, tractem les diferents opcions de programari utilitzades en el Grau en Traducció i Interpretació i en el Màster en Traducció Especialitzada de la Universitat de Vic. També mostrem dos programes de suport per a la didàctica de la traducció assistida.
Towards an Open Source Localisation Orchestration Framework
Authors: Wasala Asanka , O’Keeffe Ian , Schäler Reinhard
Published: July 2017

This paper describes the design and implementation of a novel environment for the inter-connectivity of distributed localisation components - both open source and proprietary - in response to the scarcity of relevant research in this area, as we view interoperability as being the key to the seamless integration of different entities. The proposed solution promotes interoperability through the adoption of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework based on established localisation standards. We describe a generic use scenario and the architecture of the environment that allows us to study interoperability issues in localisation processes. This environment was successfully demonstrated at the CNGL Public Showcase in Microsoft, Ireland, November 2010
Training Quality Evaluators
Authors: García Ignacio
Published: July 2017

In the present age of fluid and prolific content, notions about the quality (or fitness) of texts are changing. We may now contemplate a text continuum, with the enduring and critical at one extreme, and the ephemeral and inconsequential at the other. Having focussed on the former, traditional translation and translator education approaches struggle to keep pace with the ‘fast and fit’ imperative of the latter. Accordingly, there is a drive towards pinpointing both translation quality and purpose in a more transparent and consistent way. New approaches to formal assessment and the corresponding application tools are in development. Graduates who encounter them early in the classroom will be better prepared to allocate their time, self-assess their output, and revise that of others. Thus equipped, professional translators could assert their standing by designing custom solutions, writing scopes of work, and signing off at completion using the relevant QA procedures.

What Is Quality? A Management Discipline and the Translation Industry Get Acquainted
Authors: Fields Paul , Hague Daryl R. , Koby Geoffrey S. , Lommel Arle , Melby Alan
Published: July 2017

One way to answer the question “What is translation quality?” is to start with a framework put forward by Garvin (1984). That framework describes five approaches to determining quality: Transcendent, Product-Based, User-Based, Production-Based ("manufacturing" being Garvin’s term) and Value-Based. Garvin does not claim that any one of these approaches is sufficient unto itself. Rather, a well-rounded view of quality requires all five. The present article briefly describes these five approaches to quality and references the work of several of the most visible and respected people in the discipline of quality management. Following that presentation, the article discusses arguments for and against applying quality-management approaches to the translation industry. The authors of this article disagree about the relevance of quality management to the translation industry, but they do agree that stakeholders should take a position on the issue.

IGF2 mRNA binding protein-2 is a tumor promoter that drives cancer proliferation through its client mRNAs IGF2 and HMGA1

Published: July 2017

The gene encoding the Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2/IMP2 is amplified and overexpressed in many human cancers, accompanied by a poorer prognosis. Mice lacking IMP2 exhibit a longer lifespan and a reduced tumor burden at old age. Herein we show in a diverse array of human cancer cells that IMP2 overexpression stimulates and IMP2 elimination diminishes proliferation by 50–80%. In addition to its known ability to promote the abundance of Insulin-like Growth Factor 2/IGF2, we find that IMP2 strongly promotes IGF action, by binding and stabilizing the mRNA encoding the DNA binding protein HMGA1, a known oncogene. HMGA1 suppresses the abundance of IGF binding protein 2/IGFBP2 and Grb14, inhibitors of IGF action. IMP2 stabilization of HMGA1 mRNA plus IMP2 stimulated IGF2 production synergistically drive cancer cell proliferation and account for IMP2’s tumor promoting action. IMP2’s ability to promote proliferation and IGF action requires IMP2 phosphorylation by mTOR.
The Malpelo Plate Hypothesis and implications for nonclosure of the Cocos‐Nazca‐Pacific plate motion circuit
Authors: Zhang Tuo , Gordon Richard G. , Mishra Jay K. , Wang Chengzu
Published: July 2017

Using global multiresolution topography, we estimate new transform‐fault azimuths along the Cocos‐Nazca plate boundary and show that the direction of relative plate motion is 3.3° ± 1.8° (95% confidence limits) clockwise of prior estimates. The new direction of Cocos‐Nazca plate motion is, moreover, 4.9° ± 2.7° (95% confidence limits) clockwise of the azimuth of the Panama transform fault. We infer that the plate east of the Panama transform fault is not the Nazca plate but instead is a microplate that we term the Malpelo plate. With the improved transform‐fault data, the nonclosure of the Nazca‐Cocos‐Pacific plate motion circuit is reduced from 15.0 mm a−1 ± 3.8 mm a−1 to 11.6 mm a−1 ± 3.8 mm a−1 (95% confidence limits). The nonclosure seems too large to be due entirely to horizontal thermal contraction of oceanic lithosphere and suggests that one or more additional plate boundaries remain to be discovered.
High‐speed solar wind stream effects on the topside ionosphere over Arecibo: A case study during solar minimum
Authors: Hajra Rajkumar , Tsurutani Bruce T. , Brum Christiano G. M. , Echer Ezequiel
Published: July 2017

The impact of a high‐speed solar wind stream (HSS) on the topside near‐equatorial ionosphere (Arecibo: 28.17°N, L = 1.3) is investigated for the first time. Although the HSS did not lead to any significant geomagnetic storm activity, the ionosphere over Arecibo became hotter and expanded significantly in altitude as compared to a non‐HSS interval. The O+/H+ transition height hT increased by ~200 km in the daytime and by ~100 km at night. At the hT, the peak ionospheric electron and ion temperatures increased by ~200–500 K during day and by ~50–70 K at night. While the O+ ion concentration exhibited an overall enhancement, deep penetration of the H+ ions below hT are observed during the day. The noontime peak electron density was ~4 times higher during the HSS event compared to the non‐HSS interval. We present three possible mechanisms to explain this topside ionospheric heating.

During the 2013 Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study, aerosol mass spectrometer measurements of submicron mass and single particles were taken at Look Rock, Tennessee. Their concentrations increased during multiday stagnation events characterized by low wind, little rain, and increased daytime isoprene emissions. Organic mass (OM) sources were apportioned as 42% “vehicle‐related” and 54% biogenic secondary organic aerosol (bSOA), with the latter including “sulfate‐related bSOA” that correlated to sulfate (r = 0.72) and “nitrate‐related bSOA” that correlated to nitrate (r = 0.65). Single‐particle mass spectra showed three composition types that corresponded to the mass‐based factors with spectra cosine similarity of 0.93 and time series correlations of r > 0.4. The vehicle‐related OM with m/z 44 was correlated to black carbon, “sulfate‐related bSOA” was on particles with high sulfate, and “nitrate‐related bSOA” was on all particles. The similarity of the m/z spectra (cosine similarity = 0.97) and the time series correlation (r = 0.80) of the “sulfate‐related bSOA” to the sulfate‐containing single‐particle type provide evidence for particle composition contributing to selective uptake of isoprene oxidation products onto particles that contain sulfate from power plants.
Persistent influence of tropical North Atlantic wintertime sea surface temperature on the subsequent Atlantic hurricane season
Authors: Wang Xidong , Liu Hailong , Foltz Gregory R.
Published: July 2017

This study explores the seasonally lagged impact of wintertime sea surface temperature (SST) in the Atlantic main development region (MDR) on the subsequent Atlantic hurricane season. It is found that wintertime SST anomalies in the MDR can persist into the summer, explaining 42% of the variance in the subsequent hurricane season's SST during 1951–2010. An anomalously warm wintertime in the MDR is usually followed by an anomalously active hurricane season. Analysis shows an important constraint on the seasonal evolution of the MDR SST by the water vapor feedback process, in addition to the well‐known wind‐evaporation‐SST and cloud‐SST feedback mechanisms over the tropical North Atlantic. The water vapor feedback influences the seasonal evolution of MDR SST by modulating seasonal variations of downward longwave radiation. This wintertime thermal control of hurricane activity has significant implications for seasonal predictions and long‐term projections of hurricane activity over the North Atlantic.
