"We are not aliens": Exploring the Meaning of Disability and the Nature of Belongingness in a Fourth Grade Classroom
Authors: Lalvani Priya
Published: March 2016

In this narrative essay I describe the process and outcomes of a group of fourth graders' engagement in a critical inquiry into the constructed meaning of disability in society.  Through self-directed and guided learning, these students examined the historical roots of disability oppression and deconstructed ableist assumptions, and thus found their own understanding about community membership to be transformed.  Positioning the need to infuse disability history in schools as an imperative, this paper invites disability studies scholars and social justice educators alike to confront the silences around the topic of disability in schools and to create spaces for children to engage in meaningful dialogues about society's responses to human differences.

Atualmente os produtos orgânicos vêm roubando a cena dos produtos tradicionais, por serem saudáveis, livres de agrotóxicos e por gerarem menor impacto no meio ambiente. O minimilho (Zea mays, L.) também conhecido como “babycorn”, uma espiga imatura ainda não fertilizada (espiguetas), é uma hortaliça, produto considerado fino que vem ganhando importância no mercado de conservas no Brasil. Esta pesquisa se propôs avaliar a qualidade de minimilho orgânico in natura de diferentes variedades e determinar a composição centesimal e nutricional.Utilizou-se como metodologias analíticas as determinações de rendimento, peso médio, diâmetro e comprimento das espiguetas, além de pH, sólidos solúveis, acidez  titulável, umidade, cinzas, lipídeos,  proteínas, carboidratos e valor energético total. Com os resultados obtidos concluiu-se que as variedades que apresentaram maior rendimento foram Pipoca (48,75%), Eldorado (42,06%)e Branco (40,50%), sendo mais recomendadas para o beneficiamento e que o minimilho se trata de um produto de baixo valor calórico, podendo ser indicado em dietas hipocalóricas.

For breast cancer, chemotherapy is the most common treatment in the world. In breast cancer patients, oxidative stress leads to accumulation of free radicals, which generate more oxidative stress during chemotherapy. This chemotherapeutic approach also leads to enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species and increased oxidative stress as a result. Blood samples were collected from 30 subjects (15 patients who received wheat grass juice (WGJ) and 15 patients who were only on chemotherapy) in the age range 25-60. The goal of the present investigation was to study the relationship between oxidative stress and breast cancer by measuring the non-enzymatic antioxidant levels of Glutathione reductase (GSH) and Malondialdehyde (MDA), which are the markers of lipid peroxidation in breast cancer patients and effect of wheat grass juice on these markers. From the results obtained, it was clear that MDA levels were higher whereas GSH levels decreased in breast cancer patients compared with normal controls. Significant changes in the MDA and GSH values were observed between the group receiving WGJ and the group receiving only chemotherapy. The administration of WGJ along with the treatment reduces the extent of oxidative damage and related complications in breast cancer patients.

A necessidade de demonstrar as informações geradas pela contabilidade ambiental, por parte das empresas de papel e celulose é obrigatória, por ser esse setor um potencial poluidor e utilizador de recursos naturais em nível alto. Dessa forma, essa pesquisa buscou responder a seguinte problemática: As empresas do setor de papel e celulose divulgam suas informações ambientais, relativas à interação da entidade com o meio ambiente, observando o cumprimento da Norma Brasileira de Contabilidade Técnica (NBC T-15)? Para tanto, a metodologia utilizada foi à pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa e corte longitudinal de 2006 até 2010, realizada nas empresas do setor de papel e celulose que tem suas ações negociadas na bolsa de valores, a BM&FBOVESPA. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram que as empresas cumpriram boa parte da NBC T-15, mas as informações relativas aos chamados passivos ambientais, ainda são pouco evidenciadas. As empresas SUZANO, IRANI, KLABIN mantiveram mesmo nível de divulgação, chegando a seis dos oitos elementos exigidos pela norma. A FIBRIA foi a que apresentou maior cumprimento em 2009, evidenciando todos os elementos. Já a MELHORAMENTOS manteve-se bem abaixo das demais empresas, com um elemento evidenciado em 2006 e um em 2007, nenhum em 2008, e dois em 2009 e 2010.

A partir da aplicação da análise de regressão linear, pelo método stepwise, foram identificadas duas modelagens matemáticas explicativas da motivação daqueles discentes. Entre outras evidências, foi observado que, tanto nos alunos do curso presencial quanto os alunos do curso a distância,a idade foi o principal determinante da motivação para cursar a disciplina de Controladoria. Também foi observado que fatores relacionados à experiência profissional dos discentes integrantes da amostra dessa pesquisa exercem influências distintas em relação à modalidade de ensino frequentada por cada um dos dois grupos investigados. No caso dos alunos do curso presencial, o tempo de experiência profissional na área contábil tem um comportamento inverso à motivação.Dentre os alunos do curso a distância,o tempo de experiência profissional na área contábil não foi considerado estatisticamente significativo,porém, a simples existência de algum tipo de experiência profissional naquela área constituiu-se em um fator determinante da sua motivação para cursar a disciplina de Controladoria,independentemente do tempo dessa experiência.
Há o que aprender com os alemães? O perfil da educação jurídica na Alemanha
Authors: Liebrecht Johannes
Published: March 2016

As principais características da formação jurídica na Alemanha podem ser resumidas em poucas palavras. O acesso é muito simples, está aberto a qualquer pessoa, sem distinção quanto a origem ou condições financeiras, pois estudar é (praticamente) grátis. Teoricamente cada um pode organizar seus estudos com toda liberdade, e, por conseguinte, os estudos não têm restrição temporal predeterminada. Mas os exames são muito exigentes. Quase todos são escritos, os exames orais não têm muita importância. Nunca se pergunta a respeito da semântica do texto de lei, como tampouco a respeito do conhecimento dogmático. Isso se pressupõe como sabido e, por isso, não se avalia. A forma de avaliação predominante consiste na solução de casos complexos em pouco tempo. É muito importante que o examinador seja outra pessoa, que não aquela responsável pelo ensino. Por trás dessas frases curtas e fatos simplórios, que por si mesmos não permitem vislumbrar muito, esconde-se uma curiosa e particular ideologia educativa, a qual este artigo almeja esclarecer. A fim de propiciar uma melhor compreensão dos detalhes da formação jurídica alemã, explica-se sua estrutura básica, seus axiomas e ideologias, sua origem histórica e, por meio de uma análise comparativa, avalia-se esse modelo especial, que representa o formato alemão em nível internacional.

O papel da verdade na fundamentação dos direitos humanos
Authors: Cunha Ricarlos Almagro Vitoriano
Published: March 2016

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar como problemática a noção de verdade como adequação, precisamente por meio da busca de uma referência mais originária que a simples correspondência entre juízo e coisa, onde os próprios entes, mostrando-se no que são, influenciam e, de alguma forma, constrangem nossos juízos sobre o mundo. Sob essa perspectiva fenomenológica, nossa experiência da verdade irá reclamar uma abertura que proporcione um espaço para a aparição dos entes, o que, no âmbito normativo, importará a possibilidade de denunciarmos uma atitude logocentrista que pode encobrir os verdadeiros sentidos dos objetos jurídicos, comprometendo o acontecer do próprio Direito e, sobretudo, levar-nosà perda de fundamento para os próprios direitos humanos.

The present research was conducted to analysis of variance was significant for all characters days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), branches per plant, clusters per plant, pods per plant, days to maturity, pod length (cm), seeds per pod, seed index (100 seed weight), seed yield per plant (g). Based on the mean performance among 20 genotypes, SL-778 (17.86) followed by PS-1447 (11.54) were found to the best genotypes for seed yield per plant indicating the presence of amount of variation for these characters. High heritability was observed for grain yield per plant (95%) and number of pods per plant (94%). Moderate values of genetic advance was observed for pods per plant (13.25) followed by days to maturity (12.69). Genotypic correlation analysis indicates that pods per plant (0.748**), seed index (0.665**), clusters per plant (0.489**), plant height (0.485**) and pod length (0.481**) showed positive significant association with grain yield per plant. Phenotypic correlation analysis indicates that pods per plant (0.723**), seed index (0.586**), plant height (0.456**), clusters per plant (0.430*) and pod length (0.348*) showed positive significant association with seed yield per plant. The results indicated of phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were slightly higher than those of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the traits studied. Slight differences indicated minimum environmental influence and consequently greater role of factors on the expression of the traits.

Multi-level analysis of visitors’ satisfaction flying to Debrecen – main aspects of the research
Authors: Palatinus Brigitta
Published: March 2016

This paper presents the non-exhaustive description of the main characteristics of visitors based on the filled out questionnaires during five months following the test month. These characteristics will serve the basis of a satisfaction analysis to be described in the future and they provide guidance for later analyses. I performed the testing of my questionnaire in January 2014. It turned out even from the data collected in the test phase that there were services which did not meet the expectations of visitors several times as it was worse than what they expected. This study focuses on the questionnaire research conducted among foreign visitors coming to Debrecen by flight. The main aspects were to determine foreign visitors purpose of travel to Debrecen, how many times they had already been to Debrecen, how many days they spent in the city, what kind of services did they use and whether the quality of used service met their expectations. As a result of the following five months research, I obtained input data which make it possible to examine real problems with background data. It calls for further examination to determine whether there was any difference in the extent of services living up to visitors’ expectation and visitors’ level of satisfaction.

The managers have understood that in order to achieve organizational goals, more emphasis should be placed outside the owners, on other market participants, on the stakeholders (eg: customers, clients, employees, suppliers and other partners, local communities, …). The ’90s are also called „The performance measurement revolution”, because a lot of new performance measurement methods, systems appeared. The performance measurements have the prominent role: to collect information about where we are going to achieve the goals, if needed for intervention.

Struggles of Professionalism and Emotional Labour in Standardized Mental Health Care
Authors: Kamp Annette , Dybbroe Betina
Published: March 2016

This article points out how recent public sector reforms under headings as New Public Management, Lean and Quality Reforms entail different forms for standardization, and examines how this development instigates a transformation of interdisciplinary and highly skilled emotional labor in mental healthcare. It is based on an ethnographic study of a Danish child psychiatric unit, which ‘produces’ diagnoses and treatment/therapy for children and their families. We illustrate how the enforcement of standardization upsets the balance between the humanistic and medical aspects of psychiatry as a discipline and field of practice, and show how this development challenges professional identities, interdisciplinary collaboration and hierarchical relations. The development is however negotiated, reformulated, and opposed, in teams of mental health professionals. In this context of increasing standardization, highly skilled emotional labor unfolds. We point out how acceleration and leaning of work procedures increases the emotional labor in relation to clients, partners, and colleagues. But paradoxically, at the same time, emotional labor becomes still more invisible as it is excluded from the standardized schemes. The study illustrates the crucial role of emotional labor in mental care work and points out how it is left to the professionals to negotiate paradoxes and make ends meet.

DISCRIMINACIONES MÚLTIPLES DE LOS MIGRANTES EN PERSPECTIVA DE DERECHOS
Authors: Aguilar-Idáñez María-José
Published: March 2016

Se definen y analizan en perspectiva jurídica europea e internacional cuatro de las diferentes formas de discriminación que afectan a las personas migrantes, casi siempre de forma simultánea: discriminación contra trabajadores inmigrantes, discriminación por motivos étnicos o raciales, discriminación por origen social, y discriminación por procedencia nacional. Aunque se trata de formas de discriminación habitualmente solapadas, es importante diferenciar unas de otras porque los instrumentos jurídicos que protegen cada una de estas características no son idénticos ni se aplican del mismo modo en la Unión Europea.

Authors: Belmonte Martín Irene
Published: March 2016

Este estudio ofrece una panorámica de la relación entre los extranjeros residentes en la provincia de Alicante -territorio con mayor presencia relativa de extranjeros en España- y los impuestos locales -la principal fuente de financiación de los municipios. Por un lado, se describe cómo las Administraciones Públicas Municipales, y en particular el organismo autónomo Suma Gestión Tributaria de la Diputación Provincial de Alicante, realizan el servicio de gestión y recaudación a sus ciudadanos extranjeros; por otro lado, se investiga la percepción de los extranjeros respecto a la forma en que se lleva a cabo este servicio público. Todo ello se sustenta en la idea que la plena integración de los extranjeros, como ciudadanos con sus derechos y obligaciones, fortalece sobremanera al gobierno local.

LA INMIGRACIÓN Y LOS PARTIDOS POLÍTICOS EN ESPAÑA
Authors: López Álvarez Antonio
Published: March 2016

En el presente trabajo se analiza el fenómeno de la inmigración desde la visión que los agentes políticos y sociales tienen de la misma. En especial, el papel que juegan los partidos políticos y los grupos parlamentarios en la defensa y crítica a las políticas migratorias que se implementan. Para ello, se ha procedido a realizar un breve diagnóstico de la historia reciente de la inmigración en nuestro país y las políticas legislativas en la materia. Para continuar con la exploración de los programas electorales de cuatro partidos de ámbito nacional, con el objetivo de mostrar si la politización de la inmigración y la visión que de la misma tienen los ciudadanos, adquiere sus referentes en los citados programas, o por el contrario, es más una labor de los grupos parlamentarios y medios de comunicación en el día a día.
MULTICULTURALIDAD ECUATORIANA E HISTORIA NACIONAL
Authors: Ferrer Muñoz Manuel
Published: March 2016

Este estudio, que forma parte de una investigación más amplia sobre la historiografía ecuatoriana, analiza el papel ejercido por la institución estatal en el Ecuador como orientadora de las tareas que contribuyen a configurar las líneas directrices de una identidad nacional a partir de una visión histórica que le sirva de fundamento. Para ello resulta clave el diseño de imaginarios que sirvan para explicar la idiosincrasia nacional, entre los cuales desempeñan un papel esencial los de ‘lo español’ y ‘lo indígena’. En la concreción de esas aspiraciones adquieren una gran importancia la escuela, los libros de texto y los museos, como instrumentos para la difusión de una historia ‘nacional’ que, por fuerza, debe hacerse eco de la conformación multicultural del Ecuador.
UNA MIRADA A LOS REQUISITOS DE LA OBTENCIÓN DE LA NACIONALIDAD ESPAÑOLA POR RESIDENCIA
Authors: Cobas Cobiella María Elena
Published: March 2016

Vivimos en un mundo globalizado y la movilidad de las personas es identificativo de la modernidad, por esta razón la obtención de la nacionalidad española por residencia constituye un tema de importancia en el entorno social, económico, político y jurídico español. Para un extranjero adquirir la nacionalidad es un largo camino transitado más de espinas que de rosas, por ello este tema requiere ser visto con toda la seriedad que sea posible. El objetivo de este trabajo es reseñar algunas de las doctrinas de la jurisprudencia más actualizada en la materia, en relación a los requisitos exigidos para la obtención de la nacionalidad española. Partiendo de la premisa, que cuando un extranjero llega a adquirir la misma, es como llegar a la tierra prometida, “al Dorado”.
EL INTERACCIONISMO SIMBÓLICO EN ITALIA Y ESPAÑA: UN CAMINO POR RECORRER
Authors: Tardivo Giuliano , Fernández Fernández Maximiliano
Published: March 2016

En el presente texto, después de haber intentado delimitar el concepto de interaccionismo simbólico y haber recorrido rápidamente el origen de esta escuela y las aportaciones de los principales sociólogos de esta corriente, nacida en EE.UU., intentamos averiguar cuál es su presencia, en Italia y en España, en la sociología actual (en revistas, manuales e investigaciones) y si en poetas y autores literarios, como Gozzano y Pirandello, podemos detectar puntos de encuentro con la sociología interaccionista. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación hemos utilizado una metodología comparativo-descriptiva, con técnicas de recogida de los datos, el análisis de documentos (de tipo cuantitativo y sobre todo análisis de contenido de tipo cualitativo). Los resultados demuestran que es una escuela sociológica que ha tenido hasta el momento poco espacio en Italia y en España en comparación con otros países.
RELACIONES DE PRODUCCIÓN Y CONFLICTO CAPITAL-TRABAJO EN LA ECONOMÍA POLÍTICA
Authors: Boundi Fahd
Published: March 2016

El presente trabajo versa sobre la interpretación que realizan diferentes escuelas de la economía sobre las relaciones de producción y el conflicto capital-trabajo, con el objeto de conectarlas con el estudio social y político de la realidad económica. Para ello, se realiza una literatura comparada, comenzando con los aportes de Marx, sobre las relaciones de clase, la ley del valor, la formación de precios, la ganancia y la competencia, así como su conexión con la teoría de Ricardo. De este modo, indagaremos en la influencia que ha ejercido la teoría marxiana en el enfoque neoclásico, el pensamiento de Schumpeter y el análisis de Kalecki.

Published: March 2016

El artículo que aquí se presenta recoge el trabajo realizado en los centros educativos de enseñanza secundaria en la Comunidad Foral de Navarra. El objetivo de la investigación era analizar el fenómeno de la inmigración a través de la percepción de los diferentes agentes implicados en el propio proceso: alumnado, docentes y otros profesionales. La metodología utilizada ha sido de corte cualitativo, basado en entrevistas en profundidad a jefes de estudios de centros escolares con un alto índice de presencia de alumnos inmigrantes y, de corte cuantitativo basado en más de 800 encuestas a los alumnos de dichos centros repartidos en la geografía navarra. Los resultados obtenidos en el estudio podrían ser considerados como punto de partida para el diseño de futuras políticas sociales para favorecer la integración del inmigrante, sobre todo durante la adolescencia y para romper prejuicios entre autóctonos y extranjeros y de los extranjeros entre sí.
¿ES POSIBLE MÁS Y MEJOR DEMOCRACIA? DEMOCRACIA COMO EMPODERAMIENTO POLÍTICO DEL CIUDADANO
Authors: Iglesias Ángel , Barbeito Roberto-Luciano
Published: March 2016

Este artículo expone que el significado primigenio del concepto de democracia ha sido distorsionado y todavía no hemos sido capaces de implantar diseños institucionales adecuados para ponerlo en práctica. El texto argumenta que el ideal democrático debe ser rescatado, y debe ser implementado mediante nuevos diseños institucionales que empoderen a los ciudadanos para participar directamente en los procesos políticos de toma de decisiones. El trabajo trata de identificar, asimismo, qué tipo de innovaciones democráticas sería factible desarrollar a partir de las aportaciones teóricas de destacados académicos. El texto muestra que las mayores dificultades para proceder a un proceso de profundización democrática son de carácter ideológico e intelectual.
EL CONCEPTO DE RESIDENCIA HABITUAL DEL CAUSANTE EN EL REGLAMENTO SUCESORIO EUROPEO
Authors: Carrascosa González Javier
Published: March 2016

Las sucesiones mortis causa suscitan grandes cuestiones para el Derecho internacional privado. El presente trabajo aborda las relativas al foro general que determina los tribunales internacionalmente competentes para conocer de los litigios que suscitan estas sucesiones. En este marco, el concepto flexible, líquido y cambiante de "residencia habitual" del causante plantea problemas interpretativos de extrema importancia para los teóricos y los prácticos del Derecho internacional privado. Sin embargo, el presente ensayo mantiene que la liquidez del concepto de "residencia habitual del causante" puede constituir una ventaja para otorgar la competencia internacional a los tribunales del Estado miembro mejor situados para conocer del conjunto del pleito sucesorio internacional. Por otra parte, este trabajo sostiene, igualmente, que una cuidada exégesis del texto del Reglamento y una adecuada hermenéutica permiten asegurar los contornos del concepto, de modo que averiguar en qué país tuvo el causante su última residencia habitual no es tan complejo como, a primera vista, pudiera parecer.

Authors: Velarde Samuel F.
Published: March 2016

Los Derechos Humanos, la democracia y la violencia han sido en los últimos quince años las variables que preocupan en el análisis social de México, no se puede comprender la realidad mexicana si no se entiende la intersección de tales variables y lo que provoca en el contexto nacional. Este artículo aborda desde una perspectiva descriptiva y analítica, cómo cada uno de estos elementos mencionados permite enfocar y entender la actual coyuntura por la cual atraviesa el país y por lo tanto visualizar el futuro sociopolítico del país, en un siglo XXI que parece complejo y lleno de inéditas vicisitudes.
Streamline-Based Transport Tomography With Distributed Water Arrival Times
Authors: Kam Dongjae , Datta-Gupta Akhil
Published: March 2016

Traditional history matching involves calibration of reservoir models by use of well response such as production or tracer data aggregated during multiple producing intervals. With the advent of novel tracer technologies, we now can obtain distributed water or tracer arrival-time information along the length of horizontal or vertical wellbores. This provides significantly improved flow resolution for detailed reservoir characterization through inversion of distributed water or tracer arrival times in a manner analogous to travel tomography in geophysics.

In this paper, we present an efficient approach to incorporate novel tracer-surveillance data and distributed water arrival-time information during history matching of high-resolution reservoir models. Our approach relies on a streamline-based work flow that analytically computes the sensitivity of water-arrival times with respect to reservoir heterogeneity, specifically porosity and permeability variations. The sensitivities relate the changes in arrival time to small perturbations in reservoir properties and can be obtained efficiently with the streamline-based approach with a single flow simulation. This makes the approach particularly well-suited for high-resolution reservoir characterization. Finally, the sensitivities are used in conjunction with an iterative inversion algorithm to update the reservoir models with existing and proven techniques from seismic tomography.

The power and utility of our proposed approach are demonstrated with both synthetic and field examples. These include the SPE benchmark Brugge field case and an offshore field in North America. Compared with traditional history-matching techniques, the proposed tomographic approach is shown to result in improved resolution of heterogeneity through matching of water-arrival time at individual completions in addition to the aggregated well-production response. This results in improved performance predictions and better identification of bypassed oil for infill targeting and enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) applications.
Operating Electrical Submersible Pumps Below the Perforations
Authors: Wilson B. L. , Mack John , Foster Danny
Published: March 2016

The ESP uses the flow of well fluid to cool the motor. This has been traditionally done by landing the ESP above the perforations, or by using a shroud to redirect the fluid around the motor. This paper examines some of the advantages and disadvantages for below perforation operation.

Several options on the equipment necessary for this type of operation are presented along with a field experience of an operator in a location where below perforation operation looked to be advantageous.
Comparative effectiveness of primary PCI versus fibrinolytic therapy for ST elevation myocardial infarction: a review of the literature
Authors: Joy Eleanor R , Kurian John , Gale Chris P
Published: March 2016

Aim:
To compare the effectiveness of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) and fibrinolytic therapy (FL) for the acute management of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods:
A review of guidelines and PubMed literature comparing clinical outcomes of patients with STEMI treated with pPCI or FL.
Results:
Earlier trials reported reduced mortality and reinfarction with pPCI. Recent randomized data suggest similar outcomes for delayed pPCI compared with FL, especially in geographically remote areas. Guidelines recommend pPCI as the preferred reperfusion strategy for STEMI, if available within 120 mins of first medical contact.
Conclusion:
pPCI is the preferred treatment strategy for STEMI. However, FL with subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention remains a viable option for those in rural areas.
Rapid maxillary expansion versus middle ear tube placement: Comparison of hearing improvements in children with resistance otitis media with effusion
Authors: Kılıç Nihat , Yörük Özgür , Kılıç Songül Cömert , Çatal Gülhan , Kurt Sezgin
Published: March 2016

Objective: 

To test the null hypothesis that there are significant differences in hearing improvements of children with resistance otitis media with effusion (OME) who undergo a rapid maxillary expansion (RME) procedure or ventilation tube placement.

Methods: 

Forty-two children between 4.5 and 15 years old were divided into three groups: RME, ventilation tube, and control groups. The RME group consisted of 15 children with maxillary constriction and resistance OME that indicated ventilation tube placement. The ventilation tube group consisted of 16 children for whom ventilation tube placement was indicated but no maxillary constriction. The control group consisted of 11 children with no orthodontic and/or rhinologic problems. Hearing thresholds were evaluated with three audiometric records: (1) before RME/ventilation tube placement (T0); (2) after RME/ventilation tube placement (T1), and (3) after an observation period of 10 months (T2). The control group was matched to these periods, except T1.

Results: 

Hearing thresholds decreased significantly in both the RME and ventilation tube groups (P < .001). Hearing thresholds decreased approximately 15 and 17 decibels in the RME and ventilation tube groups, respectively, but differences in improvements were insignificant between the two study groups (P > .05). Slight changes were observed in the control groups.

Conclusion: 

The null hypothesis was rejected. RME showed similar effects as ventilation tube placement for release of otitis media and improvement of hearing thresholds levels. RME should be preferred as a first treatment option for children with maxillary constriction and resistance OME.
Is Retail Alcohol Deregulation Correlated with More Crime and Traffic Injuries? Evidence from Canadian Provinces
Authors: Sen Anindya
Published: March 2016

Data across six Canadian provinces from 1993 to 2011 are employed to estimate the effects of differences in retail alcohol distribution systems on trends in per capita violent and property crime rates and fatality and injury rates from motor vehicle accidents. OLS estimates of dummy variables representing the presence of a more deregulated retail distribution system are either statistically insignificant or significant and negative with respect to different types of crime and traffic-related injuries. These results are robust to the inclusion of different covariates and province/year fixed effects. Estimates from multivariate regression models also reveal that per capita alcohol sales are not higher in provinces with deregulated retail access. Finally, data from the Canadian Community Health Surveys do not reveal any consistent differences between regulated and deregulated provinces in binge drinking among teens and young adults. In summary, provinces with more deregulated retail access to alcohol do not experience worse outcomes than jurisdictions with more controlled availability.
Physiotherapy Students' Attitudes toward Psychiatry and Mental Health: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Connaughton Joanne , Gibson William
Published: March 2016

Purpose: A cross-sectional exploration of Notre Dame Australia physiotherapy students' attitudes toward psychiatry and mental illness, students' perceptions regarding preparation in this area for general clinical practice, and a cross-sectional investigation of current mental health—and psychiatry-related content in physiotherapy curricula across Australia and New Zealand. Methods: A questionnaire including demographic details, level of exposure to mental illness, and the Attitudes Toward Psychiatry–30 items (ATP-30) was completed by pre-clinical and clinically experienced physiotherapy students from the University of Notre Dame Australia. Students with clinical experience were asked additional questions about preparedness for practice. Staff of 10 of 17 physiotherapy programmes across Australia and New Zealand responded to an online questionnaire investigating relevant content and quantity of learning experiences in mental health. Results: Student response rate was 89%. Students generally had a positive attitude about psychiatry and mental health. Women were significantly more positive than men, and students who had completed clinical experience had a significantly more positive attitude. Physiotherapy program responses (response rate=59%) highlighted disparate approaches to psychiatry and mental health learning opportunities in terms of quantity and content. Conclusion: Entry-level physiotherapy students who have clinical experience generally have a more positive attitude toward psychiatry and people with mental illness. Given the prevalence of mental health problems and the increase in physical and mental health comorbidities, it is imperative that future clinicians have positive educational experiences in psychiatry. A coherent, integrated approach to mental illness and psychiatry is suggested for entry-level physiotherapy programmes in Australia and New Zealand.

Authors: Keppie Lawrence
Published: March 2016

The paper considers the origins of a Committee established by the Glasgow Archaeological Society in March 1891 to oversee an investigation of the Antonine Wall; the backgrounds and interrelationships of those involved; the methodologies and protocols adopted; the sequence in which the trenches were opened up; the slow progress to publication in 1899 of the written record, The Antonine Wall Report; and the significance of the work in the history of Scottish archaeology. Extensive use is made of the Minutes and Annual Reports of the Glasgow Archaeological Society, articles in the press and other contemporary documents. Hitherto unpublished site-drawings by the draughtsman Mungo Buchanan of Falkirk add to our knowledge of these events.

Published: March 2016

AOC Archaeology Group undertook the excavation of a previously unknown Bronze Age cist, located in a field close to Kilkeddan Farm, Argyll & Bute, during September 2005 under the Historic Scotland call-off contract for human remains. The cist was found to contain poorly surviving unburnt human skeletal remains along with a finely decorated tripartite Food Vessel and a flint knife. The incomplete and fragmentary condition of the skeleton suggests that the human remains were disarticulated at the time of deposition. Radiocarbon dates obtained from the human bone and associated charcoal confirms an early Bronze Age date for the burial.
Analysis of a Vertical Flat Heat Pipe Using Potassium Working Fluid and a Wick of Compressed Nickel Foam
Authors: Hansen Geir , Næss Erling , Kristjansson Kolbeinn
Published: March 2016

Heat at high temperatures, in this work 400–650 °C, can be recovered by use of cooling panels/heat pipes in the walls of aluminum electrolysis cells. For this application a flat vertical heat pipe for heat transfer from a unilateral heat source was analyzed theoretically and in the laboratory, with special emphasis on the performance of the wick. In this heat pipe a wick of compressed nickel foam covered only the evaporator surface, and potassium was used as the working fluid. The magnitudes of key thermal resistances were estimated analytically and compared. Operating temperatures and wick performance limits obtained experimentally were compared to predictions. Thermal deformation due to unilateral heat flux was analyzed by the use of COMSOL Multiphysics®. The consequences of hot spots at different locations on the wick were analyzed by use of a numerical 2D model. A vertical rectangular wick was shown to be most vulnerable to hot spots at the upper corners.
