The allocation of capital expenditure especially on infrastructure expenditure on local financial budget, is very important, because it can increasing public service. The increase of public service will also increase the own revenues. The increase ot own revenues will endorse the economic productivity. Local goverment also needs transfer fund from the central goverment, for development. It means that capital expenditure is depends on own revenues and transfer fund.Capital expenditure partially used to funding maintenance expenditure. It means the policy of local goverment on the spending of capital expenditure will effects on maintenance expenditure. The research aimed to see the effect of resource of revenues that consist of own revenues and transfer fund to capital expenditure, and the effect of capital expenditure to maintenance expenditure in regions/municipals in Central Java and Yogyakarta province.The result shows that own revenue is effecting the capital expenditure, but transfer fund is not effected by the capital expenditure, the capital expenditure is effecting the maintenance expenditure.

Infection control in aesthetic medicine and the consequences of inaction
Authors: Collier Helena
Published: September 2018

Microbiology is the study of microbes—living organisms so small they can only be seen through a microscope. They are considered the smallest form of life and include bacteria, viruses, fungi, archaea and protozoa. Microbes that can cause disease are referred to as pathogens. The relationship between the human body and the microbial world is dynamic; however, despite this lifelong partnership and the undeniable value these organisms bring to both the human body and the earth's ecology, some pathogens are capable of destroying human life. The skin and mucous membranes are the body's protective barriers and if they are breached by pathogens, they can reach subcutaneous tissue, muscle, bone and body cavities. In the field of aesthetic medicine, the injection of a dermal filler into the soft tissues is one of the most sought after treatments. This procedure can incorporate multiple injection passes from skin to bone. There is therefore a risk of an infectious complication arising if all traces of make-up are not removed and the skin disinfected, if there is inadequate hand antisepsis or environmental disinfection, and if aseptic technique is not executed during the delivery of these injections.
Efficacy of radiofrequency technology in the treatment of aesthetic indications
Authors: Mazloom Sean , Sadick Neil
Published: September 2018

Technological innovation and scientific breakthroughs have allowed the development of several safe, effective and non-invasive approaches to address the improvement of skin laxity. The use of laser, radiofrequency (RF), ultrasound, shockwaves or volumetric fillers can all stimulate collagen and elastin remodelling, leading primarily to skin tightening. Of all the energy-based treatment modalities, perhaps the most versatile in terms of the number and types of devices that exist and the aesthetic indications they can ameliorate are those with RF technology. In this article, the authors describe the main RF devices that are making an impact in aesthetic dermatology by treating a breadth of aesthetic concerns, from skin laxity to dyschromias, redness and surface irregularities.

Published: September 2018

In this work, we investigate some major issues for the use of silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) devices in continuous wave functional near-infrared spectroscopy (CW fNIRS). We analyzed the after-pulsing effect, proposing the physical mechanism causing it, and determining its relevance for CW fNIRS. We studied the SiPM transients occurring as the SiPM device goes from the dark (LED in off state) to the illumination (LED in on state) conditions, and vice-versa. Finally, we studied the SiPM SNR in standard CW fNIRS operation.

Published: September 2018

Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) has become a popular tool in small-animal hemodynamic studies. However, previous OR-PAM techniques variously lacked a high imaging speed and/or a large field of view, impeding the study of highly dynamic physiologic and pathophysiologic processes over a large region of interest. Here we report a high-speed OR-PAM system with an ultra-wide field of view, enabled by an innovative water-immersible hexagon-mirror scanner. By driving the hexagon-mirror scanner with a high-precision DC motor, the new OR-PAM has achieved a cross-sectional frame rate of 900 Hz over a 12-mm scanning range, which is 3900 times faster than our previous motor-scanner-based system and 10 times faster than the MEMS-scanner-based system. Using this hexagon-scanner-based OR-PAM system, we have imaged epinephrine-induced vasoconstriction in the whole mouse ear and vascular reperfusion after ischemic stroke in the mouse cortex in vivo, with a high spatial resolution and high volumetric imaging speed. We expect that the hexagon-scanner-based OR-PAM system will become a powerful tool for small animal imaging where the hemodynamic responses over a large field of view are of interest.
Ideas and built environments
Authors: Soukup S. J. Paul A.
Published: September 2018

Built environments – in this case, churches – provide a concrete venue to experience media ecology. While many often think of communication media or ideas as the ‘stuff’ of media ecology, architecture also serves as a physical environment, a media environment and a ideational environment. Beginning with Ong’s ‘writing reshapes consciousness’, this pedagogy piece explores how Christian architecture shapes Christian theology. Church buildings offer visual images, aural experience, spatial orientation, verbal and nonverbal human cues and ritual expressions of Christianity. The course described here shows how the location can instruct students in both media ecology and theology.
A genealogy of queerbaiting: Legal codes, production codes, ‘bury your gays’ and ‘The 100 mess’
Authors: Bridges Elizabeth
Published: September 2018

Contemporary queerbaiting is a historically situated phenomenon that in significant ways parallels reactions to nineteenth-century legal-medical discourse on the nature of homosexuality, and the subsequent punishment of it through enforcement of sodomy laws and/or blackmail against (primarily) gay men. In the twentieth century, movie and TV morality codes enacted a parallel dynamic of enforcement and punishment, at first with the banning of any mention of homosexuality altogether. Later, as codes relaxed and homosexuality became visible on-screen, film and TV moved from silencing to punishing, with the tendency kill queer characters or otherwise present them as miserable and morally compromised. The ‘bury your gays’ (BYG) trope, a phenomenon adjacent to queerbaiting, developed out of these decades of the enforcement-punishment dynamic and continues even decades after the codes lost sway. In contemporary television, where queerness is no longer entirely taboo, queerbaiting often gives way to canon queer characters, who are still killed at vastly disproportionate rates compared with their heterosexual counterparts. The fandom of one such character – Lexa, killed off from the American CW network’s series The 100 in March 2016 – brought the dual problems of queerbaiting and BYG into the open via a series of unprecedentedly well-coordinated media actions that have, perhaps, led TV writers to rethink how they present their queer characters in the context of socially aware, interactive audiences.
Peran Pembangunan Infrastruktur terhadap Ketimpangan Ekonomi Antarwilayah di Indonesia
Authors: Sukwika Tatan
Published: September 2018

Infrastructure disparity is considered as one of the factors that enhances economic inequality between regions. In the Indonesian context, the issue is interesting to be examined, especially the government is currently encouraging infrastructure development in various regions in Indonesia.This study aims at analyzing the dynamics of infrastructure and economic inequalities between regions (provinces) in Indonesia and examining the relationship between the two. This research employs several methods, namely Williamson Index, Klassen typology, and correlation and regression analyses. These methods are to provide an adequate scope of analysis to investigate trends and linkages of infrastructure development and economic imbalances between provinces in Indonesia. The study results find that the economic gap (in term of GRDP per capita) among the provinces in Indonesia was relatively high during the period 2011-2015. It was confirmed by the value of Williamson Index at 0.7 points. The relatively high rate of the gap was mostly associated with the infrastructure gap among the provinces. Strong positive correlation between the gap of GRDP per capita and of infrastructure among provinces. This delivers a strong message to the government to accelerate equal development programs proportionally in lagging regions in order to reduce development bias to more developed regions.

Limited capacity of government on drinking water supply has demanded the implementation of Community Based Water Supply System, one of them in the form of a Drinking Water User Association (Hippam). An important issue in community-based water supply is sustainability, from which institutions play a critical factor in the sustained provision of drinking water. Institutions relate to management, maintenance and financing systems, and contribute to technology selection and decision making. The purpose of this study is to explore the institutional conditions as a determinant factor for the sustainability of community-based water management. The study also aims to develop a framework for sustainable institutional assessment in community-based drinking water supply. In this study Hippam Mandiri Arjowinangun (HMA) in Malang City, East Java Province was chosen as a case study. HMA has been operating since 1994. The sustainability of HMA regarding applying the principles of institutional support for sustainability was very interesting as a case. The research method applied qualitative research by comparing the benchmark of institutional principles of sustainability with institutional principles applied to HMA. The result shows that HMA has applied the principles of institutional support for sustainability. However, some issues should be addressed in the HMA sustainability include the delineation of the water source boundary, specific attributes for the users, and the rules of water utilization. The study has also produced an assessment framework for the sustainability of community-based drinking water supply systems from the institutional perspective.
Historisch-kulturelle Anthropologie

Published: September 2018

The background of the conflict study presented in part II consists of ten transdisciplinary and transcultural anthropological studies based on the paradigm of historical anthropology. On this basis, the “Berlin Ritual and Gesture Study” financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG) was carried out. This 12 years lasting research project examined the role of rituals and gestures in the major fields of socialization “family”, “school”, “peer-group” and “media” in the context of a Berlin inner city primary school. It provided the conceptual and methodological starting point for the exploration of the possible beginning of a mobbing conflict and the difficulties to handle it. In this study, a methodology of ethnography of education was developed which served as basis for the analysis of the mobbing process in Part II.
Mobbing in einer Grundschule?
Authors: Kellermann Ingrid , Wulf Christoph
Published: September 2018

This article reconstructs a conflict arising in a primary school in an inner-city district of Berlin. A pencil case of a newly enrolled girl with a migration background has been hidden. Is it a mobbing act? The teacher feels affected and reacts aggressively. In a longue monologue she collectively holds to account the children. Through her facial expressions, her gestures, her posture, and the prosody of her voice she communicates her moral point of view and her critique of the children. Emphatically she demands not to exclude but to integrate the girl. The interruption of the lesson indicates the importance of the conflict. To avoid the creation of a scapegoat the situation is taken seriously. Committed to the idea of a parenting instruction the teacher wants to secure recognition and appreciation among the children. The question arises if her strong emotional reaction is the adequate way to avoid the exclusion of the girl.

Published: September 2018

The chapter presents an application of Scenic-Narrative Microanalysis (SNMA) to a videotaped conflict situation in a Berlin primary school. The analysis is limited to the presented video material, not involving any additional information. SNMA uses the video spectators’ reactions as a tool to identify significant moments (Now Moments or Moments of Meeting as defined by Daniel Stern) in the video and to find a consensual hypothesis on the presumed group dynamics of class and teacher that can be linked to the field of attention research in school pedagogy. Necessary adaptations of the SNMA method to documentary video material are discussed.
Momente und ihre Menschen im Zeitzeugen-Interview
Authors: Buchholz Michael B.
Published: September 2018

As shown in my text in Part I of this volume, the Boston theory, Goffman, and some parts of mentalization theory all address the phenomenon of special “moments”. These theories value the role of conversation very differently. Goffman’s theory comprises most; conversation is what makes “moments” possible but “moments” are not the goal of every “talk-in-interaction”. More specified conditions of “moments” will be described with the goal to apply them to a transcribed interviewed with a Holocaust survivor. Conversation analysis in the future will have to develop concepts for what has been termed “noticeable absence” (Harvey Sacks). After analysis of what is said and (interactively) done, there remains the question how to deal with what is silenced.
Die Sprache der Objekte

Published: September 2018

Material objects play a central role in the development of human beings. The following paper reconstructs their importance in the testimony of a holocaust survivor. Materials play an important role in the formation of the lifeworld. In a concentration camp, they often gain an unexpected existential importance. According to the context clothes, wood, food, earth change their meaning for the detainees. The kind of clothes corresponds with the type of camp and may be an indicator for the chances to survive. In a concentration camp, a piece of wood can either be used to heat a room in extreme cold and contribute to the survival of a detainee or to beat and torture a prisoner. Finally, the materiality of food is experienced as a prerequisite of life; its absence is a threat, its availability a hope for survival.

The aim of this study was to conduct a Scenic Narrative Microanalysis of a modern dance performance, “Kontakthof” by Pina Bausch, performed by lay dancers over 65 years of age. SNMA analysis consisted of both individual and group sessions with students of the International Psychoanalytic University. The method was successfully applied to artistic material insofar as relevant moments in terms of “Now Moments” and “Moments of Meeting” (Stern 2004) were identified by the raters throughout the dance piece. The selection of moments showed a notable overlap with the results of different and independent methods of analysis presented in this section.
Jugend und Jugendkulturen unter Mediatisierungsbedingungen
Authors: Hugger Kai-Uwe
Published: September 2018

Der Beitrag argumentiert, dass der gegenwärtig zu beobachtende gesellschaftliche Mediatisierungsschub, der mit den digitalen Medien eng verknüpft ist, zu Entgrenzungen kommunikativen Handelns von Jugend und Jugendkulturen führt. Auf pädagogische Felder, z. B. die Schule, ist in den letzten Jahren der Druck gewachsen, diese sozio-medialen Veränderungen verstärkt zu berücksichtigen. Einer Medienbildung, die Geltung entlang der gesamten Bildungskette hat, geht es dabei prominent um die pädagogische Thematisierung des jugendlichen Medienalltags. Dabei ist der Umgang von Jugendlichen mit privaten Daten im Social Web ein aktuelles Beispiel dafür, dass die Entgrenzungen kommunikativen Handelns auch zunehmend relevant für religionspädagogische Zusammenhänge sind.
Construction of a Supplier Evaluation Model in the Aerospace Sector
Authors: Lin Chin-Tsai , Hung Kuang-Peng , Hu Shu-Hsien
Published: September 2018

The aerospace sector has a demand for high-precision and expensive machine tools that are characterized by a high entry threshold, high risks, and a long payback period. To ensure product quality and the reduction of operating costs, it is imperative that manufacturers in this sector develop an appropriate supplier evaluation and management mechanism for machine tools. Therefore, this study presents a new two-stage supplier evaluation model for the aerospace sector. In the first stage, a hierarchical structure that comprises three evaluation criteria and eleven subcriteria is constructed. In the second stage, suppliers are appraised and selected through the analytic hierarchy process. As exemplified by the purchase of high-precision and expensive machine tools by Taiwan’s Aero Win Technology Corporation (listed in the Taiwan Stock Exchange), this study conducts a feasibility and sensitivity analysis with respect to the supplier evaluation model. The three criteria are ranked in the order of decreasing importance as follows: quality > cost > delivery. The results of this research have useful implications for the evaluation policy of machine tool suppliers in the aerospace sector.
Model Tests and Parametric Analysis on Pore Pressure Response in Silty Clay Seabed under Vertical Caisson Breakwater
Authors: Yan Z. , Zhang H. Q. , Sun X. P. , Yang Z. X.
Published: September 2018

Model tests aimed at investigating the wave-induced pore pressure responses of a silty clay seabed around a vertical caisson breakwater were conducted with a large-scale bespoke wave-breakwater-seabed system. The effects of water depth, wave parameters, and seabed consolidation conditions on oscillatory pore pressure were investigated. The residual pore pressure development against the number of cycles was also examined. The test results indicated that the oscillatory pore pressure was generally greater in the upper part of the seabed around the caisson at a large water depth and peaked at the front of the caisson at a small water depth. The oscillatory pore pressure increased with wave height and generally remained stable with an increasing number of cycles. In addition, the oscillatory pore pressure showed varying degrees of declination in the silty clay underneath the rubble after a pause period. The residual pore pressure observed in most areas of the seabed was concentrated in the silty clay underneath the caisson and increased with the number of cycles. These experimental observations will contribute to a better understanding of pore pressure responses in silty clay seabeds under vertical caissons and may have practical implications.
Plastic microbeads from cosmetic products: an experimental study of their hydrodynamic behaviour, vertical transport and resuspension in phytoplankton and sediment aggregates
Authors: Möhlenkamp Paula , Purser Autun , Thomsen Laurenz
Published: September 2018

Hydrodynamic behaviour and the transport pathways of microplastics within the ocean environment are not well known, rendering accurate predictive models for dispersal management of such pollutants difficult to establish. In the natural environment, aggregation between plastic microbeads and phytodetritus or suspended sediments in rivers and oceans further complicate the patterns of dispersal. In this laboratory study, the physical characteristics and hydrodynamic behaviour of a selection of common plastic microbeads, as used in exfoliation skincare cosmetic products, were investigated. Additionally, the potential for aggregation of these microbeads with phytodetritus and suspended sediments, as well as the subsequent sinking and resuspension behaviour of produced aggregates, were investigated with roller tanks, settling columns and erosion chamber. Physical characteristics of the plastic microbeads showed great heterogeneity, with various densities, sizes and shapes of plastic material being utilised in products designed for the same purpose. The majority of the plastics investigated were positively buoyant in both freshwater and seawater. Aggregation between plastic microbeads and phytoplankton was observed to be swift, with even extremely high concentrations of plastics being rapidly scavenged by suspended algal material. Following aggregation to sizes of 300 to 4400 μm diameter, some formerly buoyant plastics were observed to settle through the water column and enter the benthic boundary layer with settling velocities ranging between 32 and 831 m day–1. These aggregates could be resuspended in the laboratory under critical shear velocities of 0.67–1.33 cm s–1 (free stream velocities of > 10 cm s–1). This rapid aggregation and subsequent settling indicates a potentially important transport pathway for these waste products, a pathway that should be considered when modelling discharge and transport of plastic microbeads and determining the ecosystems that may be at risk from exposure.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is one of the most prevalent, and potentially severe, genetic inborn errors of steroid synthesis directly affecting metabolism. Most patients are diagnosed and treated at an early age. There have been very limited reports of adults with CAH-associated adrenal myelolipomas. We aimed to analyze two families with CAH-associated giant adrenal myelolipomas caused by defects inCYP21A2andCYP17A1genes. A total of 14 individuals from two unrelated families were identified with eitherCYP21A2orCYP17A1mutations. Of note, five patients were found with adrenal myelolipomas. Total DNA isolated from the peripheral blood of the two probands was screened for potential mutations in the following susceptibility genes of CAH:CYP21A2,CYP11B1,CYP17A1,HSD17B3,HSD3B2,ARMC5, andSTARusing target capture-based deep sequencing; and Sanger sequencing was conducted for the family members to detect the potential mutations. The following results were obtained. In family 1, molecular genetics sequencing revealed a compound heterozygous mutation (c.293-13C>G/c.518T>A, p.I173N) inCYP12A2in the patient and his brother. In family 2, all three female patients with adrenal myelolipomas were found to have a compound heterozygous mutation (c.1118A>T, p.H373L/c.1459_1467del9, p.D487_F489del) inCYP17A1. To avoid giant CAH-associated adrenal myelolipomas in adults, it is important to identify CAH early so that appropriate treatment can be initiated to interrupt the chronic adrenal hyperstimulation resulting from increased ACTH. Genetic testing and counseling could be useful in CAH.
Thermoneutral housing does not influence fat mass or glucose homeostasis in C57BL/6 mice
Authors: Small Lewin , Gong Henry , Yassmin Christian , Cooney Gregory J , Brandon Amanda E
Published: September 2018

One major factor affecting physiology often overlooked when comparing data from animal models and humans is the effect of ambient temperature. The majority of rodent housing is maintained at ~22°C, the thermoneutral temperature for lightly clothed humans. However, mice have a much higher thermoneutral temperature of ~30°C, consequently data collected at 22°C in mice could be influenced by animals being exposed to a chronic cold stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of housing temperature on glucose homeostasis and energy metabolism of mice fed normal chow or a high-fat, obesogenic diet (HFD). Male C57BL/6J(Arc) mice were housed at standard temperature (22°C) or at thermoneutrality (29°C) and fed either chow or a 60% HFD for 13 weeks. The HFD increased fat mass and produced glucose intolerance as expected but this was not exacerbated in mice housed at thermoneutrality. Changing the ambient temperature, however, did alter energy expenditure, food intake, lipid content and glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle, liver and brown adipose tissue. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that mice regulate energy balance at different housing temperatures to maintain whole-body glucose tolerance and adiposity irrespective of the diet. Despite this, metabolic differences in individual tissues were apparent. In conclusion, dietary intervention in mice has a greater impact on adiposity and glucose metabolism than housing temperature although temperature is still a significant factor in regulating metabolic parameters in individual tissues.

Published: September 2018

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are a commonly used and often effective class of medications in the treatment of mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Sertraline (1S,4S-N-methyl-4-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthylamine [Zoloft; Pfizer, New York City, NY]) is a frequently used selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that has shown efficacy in children, adolescents, and adults. We report the case of a 13-year-old boy with sertraline-induced rhabdomyolysis and renal failure, trismus, and cardiopulmonary arrest. Pharmacogenetic testing later revealed our patient had serotonin transporter polymorphisms and enzymatic alterations that put him at risk for increased levels of sertraline and greater likelihood for untoward side effects.

Goenka in the formation and dissemination of modern insight meditation (vipassana), and his reframing of Burmese Buddhist meditation in a postcolonial South Asian context, I show how the roots of modern therapeutic forms of mindfulness emerge from magico-religious contexts that have been glossed over in a process of scientization. By presenting two parallel case studies from South Asia, in which insight meditation was appropriated and repurposed by Jain and Hindu communities under the pressure of distinct social, personal, and religious forces, I suggest that modern therapeutic mindfulness is just one instantiation of other similar processes. By understanding the variety of ways in which insight meditation has been encountered by and made available to prospective practitioners in multiple social and historical contexts, historians can better understand the complex of factors that gave rise to the modern category of 'mindfulness'.
Proprioception over Dogma
Authors: Ciołkosz Matylda
Published: September 2018

The purpose of the article is to discuss the factors influencing the ongoing developments in Iyengar Yoga (IY) asana practice. The hypothesis is that within IY the power of authority, rather than being associated with the guru and his lineage (parampara), is located within the body and associated with individual proprioceptive experience. Despite its apparent dogmatism, manifesting in rigorous focus on minute detail and strong notions of orthopraxy, Iyengar's system has undergone major changes ever since the publication of Light of Yoga in 1966. Since Iyengar's death in 2014, the need for constant innovation seems to have increased. The author argues, that the plasticity of the method is inherent in its very foundations. Treating asanani--and sequences thereof--as higher-order structures built of repetitive minimal units (singular motor patterns and body-part configurations) allows for considerable freedom in asana practice without jeopardizing orthoperformance. The stress lain on the detailed proprioceptive experience during practice results in locating authority in the experience itself, and in frequent modifications of asana variations based on this authority. The discussion is based on in-depth analysis of the structure of IY practice and of textual material.
Iyengar Yoga for Women
Authors: Wittich Agi
Published: September 2018

This article explores women-oriented Iyengar Yoga (IY) practices through a historical, textual and ethnographical analysis. These practices were inaugurated by the teachings of B. K. S. Iyengar and Geeta Iyengar and globally expanded by IY teachers. The research focuses on how these pioneering practices where formed, the way they are perceived with respect to the ancient yoga tradition, and the way they are implemented among IY teachers. Drawing on Iyengar literature and interviews with IY teachers, the article suggests that womenoriented practices are considered by Iyengar members as rooted in ancient knowledge which was illuminated by the Iyengars. Also, women-oriented IY practices manifest what might be considered as the distinct attributes of IY teachings. Women-oriented practices are perceived as a distinct, yet inseparable segment of IY practices. While Iyengar teachers express diverse standpoints regarding specialized practices' necessity and usage, they are an inherent element of the contemporary Iyengar teaching tradition.
MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF FORMATION OF CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN SYNDROME IN PATIENTS WITH EXTERNAL GENITAL ENDOMETRIOSIS: MARKERS AND TARGETS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY (REVIEW)

This article systematizes the results of studies on the pathogenetic mechanisms of CPPS formation in patients with EGE. Pain is one of the severe clinical manifestations and complications of endometriosis. To ease the pain in patients with EGE is complex but urgent task. Long diagnostic search (mean period 5−8 years) leads to the formation of a persistent Autonomous pain syndrome associated with relapses of pain even after a com-prehensive treatment of patients (surgical and/or long-term hormonal). Patients with endometriosis suffer from mixed pain including neuropathic and nociceptive components which is proved by the example of expression in ectopic foci of specific biomarkers. Therefore, the question of early non-invasive diagnosis of endometriosis is very vital and can be solved by the development of a diagnostic panel consisting of biomarkers expressed by ectopic foci at the initial stage of the disease.
DISTURBANCES OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM IN PERSONS WITH CHRONIC SPINAL CORD INJURY DURING EXERCISE AND PARTICIPATION IN PARALYMPIC SPORTS

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition that affects mostly young and active individuals but also impacts their family members and results in significant challenges for medical care and social integration. In addition to obvious motor impairment (tetraplegia/paraplegia), these individuals also suffer from a variety of less obvious but devastating autonomic nervous system dysfunctions that negatively impact their health and affect various aspects of daily living. Physical training and sports are essential components of rehabilitation and leaser activities for people with disabilities. Number of individuals with SCI who run an active lifestyle is increasing. Physical activity puts an additional stress on various organs and body systems. The presented manuscript describes in detail cardiovascular dysfunctions in physically active individuals with a SCI, including those engaged in Paralympic sports: low resting blood pressure, orthostatic hypotension, arrhythmias, and the phenomenon of «autonomic dysreflexia». We also address issues related to self-induced episodes of autonomic dysreflexia in order to improve athletic performance ― a phenomenon known as «boosting». Boosting may improve sports performance in short term but is associated with the risk of serious cardiovascular disorders and even sudden death. This practice is considered as anti-doping rule violation by the International Paralympic Committee and thus prohibited. Understanding of the changes occurring in the body of a physically active individual after SCI is necessary for general practitioners, neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, sports medicine physicians, as well as for specialists of adapted physical education and sports.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Introduction: Patient- and Family Centered Care (PFCC) aims to promote collaborative empowering relationships among patients, families, and health care professionals. Best practice for teaching patient- and family-centred care is unknown. Methods, Results: Patient and Family Advisors were matched with an interdisciplinary group of 2-3 students from medicine, pharmacy, and nursing over a five month period to teach PFCC. Advisors provided their journey in the health care system as a basis for further exploration of the 4 pillars of Patient and Family Centered Care. 28 students and 14 Patient and Family Advisors completed the program. Overall, students and advisors were satisfied with the program. Attitudes toward family centeredness were evaluated on a scale of 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). Paired samples t-tests were conducted to gauge perceived increases over the program. All items increased significantly with large effect sizes. Discussion: Patient and Family Advisors highlighted the importance of sharing stories and exploring them through dialogue with students as a key factor in the success of the program. The Interdisciplinary Patient Partner Program also reinforced the power of relationship as a learning tool for students. The interdisciplinary nature of this program resulted in additional learning opportunities such as learning about the interdependencies between health care professionals and the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to health care Conclusion: Matching medicine, pharmacy and nursing students with Patient and Family Advisors is an effective way to improve students' understanding of Patient and Family Centered Care.
The effects of spatially correlated heterogeneities on acidising wormhole development

Published: September 2018

A commonly used rock stimulation technique in subsurface geoenergy technologies is matrix acidisation. During this process, an acidic solution is injected into the hydrocarbon or geothermal reservoirs to dissolve certain minerals and enhance the injectivity and productivity of the hydrocarbon or heat recovery operation. This study aims to investigate the influence of three-dimensional (3D) lithological heterogeneity of the rock on reactive transport of acid in the porous domain. Through a development and application of a reactive transport model with restricting assumptions (linear calcite dissolution kinetics with hydrochloric acid (HCl)) and simplifications (mineralogical homogeneity) on the geochemistry embedded into the model, we present the results of a series of 3D simulation of carbonate acidisation in presence of varying spatial correlation lengths of petrophysical properties of the domain. The results are compared with the case where petrophysical properties are distributed randomly throughout the domain. The study provides new insights into the impact of increasing correlation lengths that lack in the existing literature. Under the conditions of case studies, the pore volume of the acid injected reduces 10·5 and 12·2% for Damköhler number of 100, when correlation lengths of only 0·0667 and 0·1667 cm are considered in core of length 5 cm.
