Analytical solutions of some internal boundary value problems of elasticity for domains with hyperbolic boundaries
Authors: Zirakashvili Natela
Published: October 2018

An analytical solution of two-dimensional problems of elasticity in the region bounded by a hyperbola in elliptic coordinates is constructed using the method of separation of variables. The stress–strain state of a homogenous isotropic hyperbolic body and that with a hyperbolic cut is studied when there are non-homogenous (non-zero) boundary conditions given on the hyperbolic boundary. The graphs for the numerical results of some test problems are presented.

Authors: Smáradóttir Maria Isabel , Catrina Sergiu-Bogdan , Brismar Kerstin , Norhammar Anna , Gyberg Viveca , Mellbin Linda G
Published: October 2018

Purpose:

Copeptin and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 analysed at admission for a myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus predicts cardiovascular events. The present aim was to study the association between copeptin and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1, the development of the levels over time, and if the predictive value remained when measured at hospital discharge and 3 months thereafter.

Methods:

Copeptin and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 were analysed in patients (median age = 70, male = 68%) with type 2 diabetes mellitus + myocardial infarction at admission (n = 393), discharge (n = 309) and 3 months later (n = 288). The primary endpoint was cardiovascular event (cardiovascular death/non-fatal myocardial infarction/stroke) with the three time points as separate baselines.

Results:

The median copeptin levels were 21.8 pmol/L at admission, 8.5 pmol/L at discharge and 8.4 pmol/L after 3 months, while insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 levels continued to increase. There were significant correlations between the biomarkers at all occasions. During an average follow-up of 2.5 years, copeptin, but not insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1, predicted cardiovascular event at all occasions in unadjusted analyses. Copeptin remained as a predictor at discharge and after 3 months in the final multiple model (including: heart failure/age/creatinine clearance).

Conclusion:

The relationship between copeptin and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 during the initial phase of a myocardial infarction persisted in a less-stressful situation, and copeptin remained as a prognostic indicator at discharge and 3 months later.
Experimental study on dynamic response of model shield tunnel induced by moving-axle loads of subway train
Authors: Zhang Mengxi , Zhang Xiaoqing , Li Lei , Hong Chengyu
Published: October 2018

A new testing method was introduced to apply moving-axle loads of a subway train on a track structure. In order to investigate the dynamic responses of the shield tunnel subjected to moving-axle loads, a series of laboratory model tests were conducted in a 1/40 scale model tunnel. The influences of the axle load, the wheel speed, and the cover depth of the shield tunnel on the vertical displacement and acceleration of the lining were presented and discussed. Parametric studies revealed that the vertical displacement–time history of the lining presents a “W” shape due to the combined action of two axles of a bogie. The peak value of the vertical displacement increased with the axle load linearly, while it decreased with the increase in the cover depth. Moreover, response time of the displacement decreased with the increase in the wheel speed, but the peak values remained stable at the same level. Finally, a three-dimensional dynamic finite element model was adopted to simulate the movement of the axle loads and calculate the responses of the lining. The numerical results analysis agrees well with experimental results.
Fault diagnosis method for closed-loop satellite attitude control systems based on a fuzzy parity equation
Authors: Song Hua , Han Pengqian , Zhang Junxiang , Zhang Chunhua
Published: October 2018

This article proposes a fault diagnosis method for closed-loop satellite attitude control systems based on a fuzzy model and parity equation. The fault in a closed-loop system is propagated with the feedback loop, increasing the difficulty of fault diagnosis and isolation. The study uses a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model and parity equation to diagnose and isolate a fault in a closed-loop satellite attitude control system. A fully decoupled parity equation is designed for the closed-loop satellite attitude control system to generate a residual that is sensitive only to a specific actuator and sensor. A T-S fuzzy model is used to describe the nonlinear closed-loop satellite attitude control system. With the combination of the T-S fuzzy model and fully decoupled parity equation, the fuzzy parity equation (FPE) of the nonlinear system can be obtained. Then this article uses a parameter estimator based on a Kalman filter to identify deviations and scale factor changes from information contained in the residuals generated by the FPE. The actuator and sensor fault detection and isolation simulation of the three-axis stable satellite attitude control system is provided for illustration.
Attention-mechanism-based tracking method for intelligent Internet of vehicles
Authors: Kang Xu , Song Bin , Guo Jie , Du Xiaojiang , Guizani Mohsen
Published: October 2018

Vehicle tracking task plays an important role on the Internet of vehicles and intelligent transportation system. Beyond the traditional Global Positioning System sensor, the image sensor can capture different kinds of vehicles, analyze their driving situation, and can interact with them. Aiming at the problem that the traditional convolutional neural network is vulnerable to background interference, this article proposes vehicle tracking method based on human attention mechanism for self-selection of deep features with an inter-channel fully connected layer. It mainly includes the following contents: (1) a fully convolutional neural network fused attention mechanism with the selection of the deep features for convolution; (2) a separation method for template and semantic background region to separate target vehicles from the background in the initial frame adaptively; (3) a two-stage method for model training using our traffic dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the tracking accuracy without an increase in tracking time. Meanwhile, it strengthens the robustness of algorithm under the condition of the complex background region. The success rate of the proposed method in overall traffic datasets is higher than Siamese network by about 10%, and the overall precision is higher than Siamese network by 8%.
Updated Canadian Expert Consensus on Assessing Risk of Disease Progression and Pharmacological Management of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Authors: Soroka Steven , Alam Ahsan , Bevilacqua Micheli , Girard Louis-Philippe , Komenda Paul , Loertscher Rolf , McFarlane Philip , Pandeya Sanjaya , Tam Paul , Bichet Daniel G.
Published: October 2018

Purpose:

The purpose of this article is to update the previously published consensus recommendations from March 2017 discussing the optimal management of adult patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). This document focuses on recent developments in genetic testing, renal imaging, assessment of risk regarding disease progression, and pharmacological treatment options for ADPKD.

Sources of information:

Published literature was searched in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar to identify the latest evidence related to the treatment and management of ADPKD.

Methods:

All pertinent articles were reviewed by the authors to determine if a new recommendation was required, or if the previous recommendation needed updating. The consensus recommendations were developed by the authors based on discussion and review of the evidence.

Key findings:

The genetics of ADPKD are becoming more complex with the identification of new and rarer genetic variants such as GANAB. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) continue to be the main imaging modalities used to evaluate ADPKD. Total kidney volume (TKV) continues to be the most validated and most used measure to assess disease progression. Since the publication of the previous consensus recommendations, the use of the Mayo Clinic Classification for prognostication purposes has been validated in patients with class 1 ADPKD. Recent evidence supports the benefits of a low-osmolar diet and dietary sodium restriction in patients with ADPKD. Evidence from the Replicating Evidence of Preserved Renal Function: an Investigation of Tolvaptan Safety and Efficacy in ADPKD (REPRISE) trial supports the use of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) receptor antagonism in patients with ADPKD 18 to 55 years of age with eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) of 25 to 65 mL/min/1.73 m2 or 56 to 65 years of age with eGFR of 25 to 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 with historical evidence of a decline in eGFR >2.0 mL/min/1.73 m2/year.

Limitations:

Available literature was limited to English language publications and to publications indexed in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar.

Implications:

Advances in the assessment of the risk of disease progression include the validation of the Mayo Clinic Classification for patients with class 1 ADPKD. Advances in the pharmacological management of ADPKD include the expansion of the use of ADH receptor antagonism in patients 18 to 55 years of age with eGFR of 25 to 65 mL/min/1.73 m2 or 56 to 65 years of age with eGFR of 25 to 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 with historical evidence of a decline in eGFR >2.0 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, as per the results of the REPRISE study.
Estimation of the conversion point position in elastic orthorhombic media
Authors: Xu Shibo , Stovas Alexey
Published: October 2018

Determination of the conversion point position is very important to carry out seismic processing in the common conversion point gather of converted wave data. The anisotropic effect is very obvious for a converted wave when estimating the physical and processing parameters from real data. To estimate the conversion point in an elastic orthorhombic (ORT) medium, we have defined an explicit rational form approximation for the radial coordinate of the conversion point for converted [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] waves. To obtain the approximation coefficients, the Taylor series approximation in the corresponding vertical slowness for three pure wave modes is applied. The coefficients in our proposed approximation are computed within two vertical symmetry planes. The difference between the acquisition azimuth and the azimuth of the conversion point position is analyzed for different combinations of the wave modes. The accuracy of the conversion point position estimation for three ORT models is illustrated in the numerical examples. One can see from the results that for converted [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] waves, our approximation is very accurate in estimating the conversion point position regardless of the tested ORT model. For a converted [Formula: see text] wave, due to the existence of cusps, triplications, and shear singularities, the error in conversion point estimation is relatively larger compared with PS-waves in the vicinity of the singularity point.
A Community-Based Clinical Breast Examination Program: Is it Feasible?
Authors: Singh Ranjit K. Pritam , Abdullah Zainab , Saleh Salimah
Published: October 2018

Purpose

Breast cancer presents in advanced stages in low- and middle-income countries where screening mammography is not available. In Malaysia, almost 60% of women, particularly in those the low socioeconomic group, present with stage III and IV breast cancer. We evaluated the feasibility of a community-based early detection program using clinical breast examination (CBE) carried out by the Breast Cancer Welfare Association, a nongovernmental organization.

Methods

Using a mobile clinic that was equipped to carry out CBE, a team of six health professionals trained in CBE techniques reached out to urban poor communities on the outskirts of the city and the rural population at the invitation of community leaders. At these events, breast self-awareness was taught to the community, with particular regard to the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and to breast self-examination. CBE was carried out in those women who agreed to be examined. Women who were found to have breast lumps were referred to the nearest public hospital and were observed for compliance. Women with anxiety were counseled.

Results

In 2016 to 2017, CBE was performed for 7,503 women, and 295 (3.9%) were found to have a palpable breast lump. These women were referred to the nearest hospital for additional assessment. Of these women, 156 (52.9%) consulted the doctor and sought additional examination. A total of 153 patients had no malignant findings, whereas three were found to have breast cancer. The mean age for women found to have a palpable breast lump was younger than 40 years—35 years in 2016 and 33 years in 2017—whereas the median age among the 295 women was 33 years in 2016 and 31 years in 2017 (range, 17 to 67 years).

Conclusion

A community outreach program using CBE as a method of early detection is feasible in Malaysia. Additional study is required to determine why 47% of those who were found to have a breast lump did not seek additional assessment.

Published: October 2018

Context

Maternal obesity increases the risk of preterm delivery. Obesity is known to be associated with altered lipid metabolism.

Objective

To investigate the associations between high maternal triglyceride (mTG) levels during early pregnancy and risks of preterm delivery stratified by early pregnancy body mass index (BMI).

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

University-based maternity center.

Patients

49,612 women with singleton pregnancy who underwent fasting serum lipid screening during early pregnancy.

Main Outcome Measures

Risk of preterm delivery (total, <37 weeks; early, 28 to 33 weeks; and late, 34 to 36 weeks).

Results

Among women enrolled, 2494 had a preterm delivery, including 438 early preterm and 2056 late preterm delivery. High mTG (>90th percentile, 2.04 mM) was associated with shortened gestation. Risks of total, early, and late preterm deliveries increased with mTG levels, and the high mTG–related risk was highest for early preterm delivery [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.72; 95% CI, 1.30 to 2.29]. After stratification by BMI, high mTG was associated with risk of preterm delivery in both overweight or obese (OWO) women (AOR 1.32; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.70) and women with normal BMI (AOR 1.36; 95% CI, 1.16 to 1.59). In additional sensitivity analyses, we found that high mTG was related to higher risks of preterm delivery among OWO women and women with normal BMI (AOR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.07 to 2.22 and 1.62, 1.34 to 1.96, respectively), especially early preterm delivery (AOR 2.47; 95% CI, 1.19 to 5.10, and AOR 2.50; 95% CI, 1.65 to 3.78, respectively).

Conclusions

High mTG level during early pregnancy increased the risks of preterm delivery not only in OWO women but also in women with normal BMI.
Pulmonary Artery Catheter Thrombus in a Patient With Essential Thrombocytosis: A Case Report
Authors: Lu Shu Y. , Shelton Kenneth T. , Fitzsimons Michael G.
Published: October 2018

Essential thrombocytosis (ET) is a rare chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by elevated platelet counts. The management of patients with ET undergoing coronary artery bypass graft remains unclear. Often, patients who are deemed “high risk” for thrombotic events receive cytoreductive therapy before surgery, while patients deemed “low risk” do not receive cytoreductive therapy. Here, we present a case of a patient with ET with only a mild elevation in platelets deemed “low risk” for thrombotic complications who was found to have a small intracardiac thrombus around the pulmonary artery catheter before initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Toxic Ingestion of Acetaminophen and Acetylsalicylic Acid in a Parturient at 33 Weeks Gestation: A Case Report
Authors: Reale Sharon C. , Gray Kathryn J. , Boyer Edward W. , Arce Dominique Y. , Farber Michaela K.
Published: October 2018

The anesthetic management of toxic ingestion during pregnancy requires concomitant concerns for both mother and fetus. We describe the management of a parturient at 33 weeks of gestation after a suicide attempt by ingestion of acetaminophen (APAP) and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Timing of toxin ingestion must be determined, prompt antidote administration prioritized, and hepatotoxicity-induced hematologic impairment anticipated. Fetal exposure to toxins must also be minimized. The use of point-of-care rotational thromboelastometry in conjunction with standard coagulation testing in such cases facilitates consideration of neuraxial anesthesia and determination of risk for postpartum hemorrhage.
Physicians in Print: Letters to the Editor and the Medicaid Expansion
Authors: Singer Phillip M.
Published: October 2018

The June 2012 Supreme Court decision on Medicaid expansion provides insight into how physicians and the general public engaged with the political and policy-making process. This study assesses the making of public statements on Medicaid policy, through analyzing letters to the editor published in one hundred newspapers across the United States. A total of 2,792 individual letters to the editor were coded for their stance, use of evidence, use of personal experience, and framing of the Medicaid expansion. Both the general public and physicians expressed support for expansion in their letters, but physicians were more likely to emphasize the role of Medicaid expansion at improving the quality of care and saving lives. Additionally, physicians were more likely to cite evidence and personal experiences while framing their position on Medicaid expansion. There is no evidence of a shift in stance on Medicaid expansion after the election of Donald Trump, and Medicaid policy changes made by the new administration highlight the importance of the public engaging in the political and policy-making process of Medicaid.

Authors: WAQAS M. , AKHTAR R. , AKBAR H. , LATEEF M. , RASHID I. , IJAZ M.
Published: October 2018

The present study was performed with objective to evaluate the anti-coccidial effect of three different forms of Allium sativum (garlic) in broiler birds. A total of 90 broiler chicks (day-old) were divided into nine equal groups. The mixed Eimeria species obtained from gut samples (E. tenella and E. necatrix) collected from different commercial poultry shops in Tolinton Market Lahore, Pakistan. These guts were checked in Parasitology laboratory in Department of Parasitology, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore. The positive cases were separated for extraction, sporulation and identification of oocyst(s). The oocysts counts per gram of droppings were determined by McMaster technique on day 0, 3, 7 and 10 of treatment. Each bird was challenged with 50,000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria at 17th day of age. Three different forms of Allium sativum (garlic) including aqueous extract, methanol extract and powder form at dose rate 2 and 4 gm/kg body weight were used in challenged birds In all the forms and doses of the Allium sativum the oocyst per gram count was decreased but the best result was obtained with aqueous form at dose rate of 4gm/kg BW from day 7 to 10. The present study concluded that Allium sativum (garlic) can be used as natural anti-coccidial component to ameliorate the side effects and resistance of commercial anticoccidials in practice.
Comparison of two methods of making reduced-fat ovine Halloumi type cheese
Authors: KAMINARIDES S.
Published: October 2018

Halloumi is a popular cheese in Cyprus where reduced-fat Halloumi cheese is manufactured solely from bovine milk. In this study, two methods of making reduced-fat Halloumi type cheeses from ovine milk containing 1.8% fat were compared. Ovine milk was used because it has a greater biological and nutritional value than bovine milk. The first method used traditional technology (T) as a control whereas the second method was a modified technology (M), as described in material and methods. The M cheese had a significantly (P<0.05) higher yield, moisture content, protein in dry matter, pH value and lower content of fat, lactose, ash, Ca and Mg, acidity, hardness, adhesiveness, elasticity, gumminess and chewiness than the T cheese. The assessment panel suggested that the M technology was superior and can be used to produce a reduced-fat ovine Halloumi type cheese.
Is rumenocentesis a safe technique to collect rumen fluid in dairy cows?
Authors: PANOUSIS N. , KITKAS G. , VALERGAKIS G. E.
Published: October 2018

Subacute ruminal acidosis is a major issue in dairy cattle and a definite diagnosis is only established by measuring the rumen fluid pH, most credibly collected by rumenocentesis. However, due to its invasive nature, there is still some debate whether it is a safe method or poses risks for cows’ health and welfare. The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate the safety of rumenocentesis as a technique to obtain rumen fluid in dairy cows. Results were derived from 2 studies. In study 1, rumenocentesis was performed in 153 Holstein cows from 12 herds, once, between 10 and 90 days in milk (DIM). In study 2, 83 Holstein cows from a dairy farm were repeatedly subjected to rumenocentesisat 30, 90 and 150 DIM. From the 83 cows that were initially enrolled, 8 were culled before the end of the study for reasons irrelative to rumenocentesis; therefore, 236 rumenocenteses were actually performed in study 2 (3 times in 75 cows, twice in 3 cows and once in 5 cows). All cows were monitored for 10 days after rumenocentesis for presence of complications. In addition, daily milk yield was automatically recorded for each cow in study 2 to detect any possiblepost-rumenocentesis short-term reduction of milk yield. Minor only complications were recorded in 7 cases: in 4/153 (2.61%) and 3/236 (1.27%) rumenocenteses in studies 1 and 2, respectively. Small diameter abscesses in 6 cows (3 in study 1 and 3 in study 2) and a larger one in 1 cow in study 1 were observed. The 3 small abscesses in study 2 were all recorded after the 1st rumenocentesis, at DIM 30. All 7 cases were resolved spontaneously within two weeks. Moreover, short-term daily milk yield of study 2 cows was not affected by rumenocentesis. The conclusion is that rumenocentesis is a safe technique to collect small volume of rumen fluid for SARA diagnosis, which does not compromise cows’ health and welfare when appropriately performed.
Ophthalmic signs in Ugandan adults with HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis: A nested analysis of the ASTRO-CM cohort
Authors: Atherton Rachel R , Ellis Jayne , Cresswell Fiona V , Rhein Joshua , Boulware David R
Published: October 2018

Cryptococcal meningitis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among HIV-infected persons, accounting for 15% of AIDS-related deaths. Visual disturbance is commonly reported, and a wide range of ophthalmic signs may be present on examination. There is limited published literature to date describing the range and incidence of ophthalmic signs in HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis. Nested within the Adjunctive Sertraline for the Treatment of HIV-Associated Cryptococcal Meningitis (ASTRO-CM) trial (ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT01802385), we conducted an observational study of 696 Ugandan adults with HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis.

Patients were screened for visual disturbance and external ophthalmic signs at initial presentation and at follow-up appointments over 18 weeks. Assessment comprised simple clinical history and basic examination and required no specialist equipment.

More than a quarter of our cohort demonstrated ocular signs or symptoms, which were observed throughout the study period.  A broad range of ocular signs were demonstrated: these included neurological signs (10.9%), localized ocular pathology (4.5%), and evidence of concurrent systemic disease (12.9%).

The range of signs observed demonstrates the complexities of case management in patients with advanced HIV and cryptococcosis and also the importance of basic ocular examination in low resource settings.

There remains an urgent need for studies conducting comprehensive ocular examination in patients with HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis; these studies should include formal assessment of visual acuity, slit lamp examination and dilated indirect ophthalmoscopy. Prospective studies should investigate whether there is a correlation between reported visual disturbance and objective signs, in order to further clarify the underlying mechanisms and to guide effective diagnosis, follow-up and management.
The causes and management of oedema in palliative care
Authors: Woods Mary
Published: October 2018

The development of oedema when end-of-life is approaching can be distressing for patients and challenging for health professionals. Many factors are involved in the development of oedema and careful assessment to identify the cause of the oedema enables the most appropriate patient-focused goals to be identified during treatment planning. Nurse prescribers are in a unique position to consider whether a patient's medication may cause or exacerbate oedema, and, in some cases, alternative medication may be more appropriate. By working together with all members of the multi-professional team, the aim of oedema management should be to improve or maintain the patient's quality of life. This article will consider the causes of oedema as a patient approaches the end-of-life and will explore different treatment strategies that can be used. Regular evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment and a focus on quality of life are essential.

Published: October 2018

Background: Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the concentration of IL-6, IL-8, and phosphorylase kinase, which has role in keratinocyte proliferation. Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of C. xanthorrhiza in psoriasis.Methods: From 18 to 59 year-old patients with mild psoriasis, 2 similar lesions were selected. The severity assessment was based on the psoriasis area severity index (PASI), Trozak score, and K6 expression. Using a double-blinded randomized method, lesion was treated with 1% C. xanthorrhiza ointment vs placebo for 4 weeks. The results were analyzed by the chi-square test using STATATM V.12 software (Stata Corp.).Results: The study was conducted in 2010 to 2012 with 17 subjects participated. The median of PASI score were reduced significantly in both lesions, either treated with 1% C. xanthorrhiza ointment vs placebo; however when compared between the group, it was not significant (p=0.520). The Trozak score were reduced in lesions treated with 1% C. xanthorrhiza ointment; but it was not significant (p = 0.306). In lesions treated with placebo, the Trozak score was increased significantly. The difference of Trozak score between lesions treated with C. xanthorrhiza and placebo was significant (p=0.024). There was no significant difference of K6 expression in lesions treated with 1% C. xanthorrhiza ointments or placebo as well as on the difference of mean values of K6 expression between the group (p=0.827).Conclusion: Based on the results, 1% C. xanthorrhiza ointment is effective treatment option for mild psoriasis, but longer follow-up period is suggested to confirm this results. C. xanthorrhiza ointment is safe for topical administration as there were no side effects reported in this study.
Evolution versus entrenchment: Debating the impact of digitization, democratization and diffusion in the global fashion industry
Authors: Brydges Taylor , Hracs Brian J. , Lavanga Mariangela
Published: October 2018

In the report The State of Fashion 2017, written by Business of Fashion and the McKinsey Institute (2016), industry executives used three words to describe the current state of the fashion industry: uncertain, changing and challenging. Indeed, the fashion industry is undergoing dramatic transformations, from digitization and the rise of ‘see now, buy now’ fashions, to brands redefining the function and timing of fashion weeks, and increasing levels of global integration and competition (Crewe 2017). As such, the fashion industry has been recognized as a valuable lens through which to explore significant and ongoing changes to the production, curation and consumption of goods, services, and experiences (Brydges et al. 2014; Brydges 2017; D’Ovidio 2015; Hracs et al. 2013; Lavanga 2018; McRobbie 2016; Pratt et al. 2012).

Drawing inspiration from this stream of scholarship, we organized four sessions titled Trending Now: The Changing Geographies of Fashion in the Digital Age at the Royal Geographical Society and Institute of British Geographers (RGS-IBG) conference in London, 30 August – 1 September 2017. In these sessions, researchers and practitioners from a wide range of locations and disciplines – including fashion studies, media studies, cultural economics, business and geography – came together to share research related to the structures, labour dynamics, spaces, value propositions and practices of the contemporary fashion industry.

While a range of issues were discussed, the sessions were connected by an overarching theme. Namely, the extent to which power in the fashion industry is expanding or consolidating. While there is a prominent discourse that states that structures, systems and spaces within the global fashion industry have been (and will continue to be) disrupted by new actors, technologies, practices and cities, we collectively questioned whether the fashion industry has really entered an era of democratization, or if established power structures remain entrenched. Through empirical case studies from a variety of geographic contexts – from India to Italy – about different actors and activities within the industry, each presentation contributed new evidence and perspectives to this debate. The discussion below distils some of the key themes that emerged.
The Saint Olav Drama (Spelet Om Heilag Olav): A perpetual mobile machine? Roots, rituals and respect
Authors: Tromsdal Roar
Published: October 2018

This article discusses the reasons why The Saint Olav Drama (Spelet om Heilag Olav) has had such a continuous long run, and focuses specifically on the role that volunteers play in making this possible. How is the volunteers’ need to have their voices heard in order to feel motivated affected by the concepts of roots, rituals and respect? Has the professionalization of The Saint Olav Drama in any way reduced the volunteers’ deeply seated motivation and democratic influence? Can The Saint Olav Drama continue forever, as a perpetual mobile machine? This analysis is an empirical case study, which applies theoretical concepts from researcher Nick Kaye and his use of the term site-specific theatre; researcher Victor Turner and his concept of communitas (community) and theories about rituals and theatre; and those from psychologists Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan on the subject of what affects a person’s inner motivation. The analysis concludes that the future existence of The Saint Olav Drama is directly dependent on the volunteers’ motivation and a respect for their democratic influence in terms of the implementation and further development of The Saint Olav Drama.

Published: October 2018

Monthly larval release by the coral Pocillopora damicornis at Panjang Island, Central Java was investigated. Corals were collected from windward and leeward and maintained in outdoor, flow-trough system to quantify nightly release of larvae. Larval release of the coral occurs every month throughout the year, and its planulation increased during dry monsoon. Monthly planulation occurs from new moon to full moon and possesses in different pattern between single and paired colonies. Planulation in paired colonies occurred in single peak and more synchronized in each colony however single colonies planulated in double peaks and less synchronized in each colony. This study confirmed that planulation period of P. damicornis at Panjang Island over a range of lunar phases with shorter periods of peak release which predominantly controlling by tidal range rather than lunar cycle.

Authors: Mulyadi -
Published: October 2018

The marine copepods of the genus Centropages form a very important component of tropical marine ecosys-tem, but are poorly known. In a continuing study of the copepods of Indonesian coastal waters, eight species of Centropages were collected from 11 sites during 1996-2006. Four out of five previously known species i.e., C. calaninus (Dana, 1849); C. furcatus (Dana, 1849); C. gracilis (Dana, 1849); C. orsini Giesbrecht, 1896, except C. elongatus Giesbrecht, 1869 have been recorded. Four species i.e., C. brevifurcus Shen and Lee, 1963; C. dorsispinatus Thompson and Scott, 1903; C. sinensis Chen and Zhang, 1965; and C. tenuiremis Thompson and Scott, 1903, are new records for the area.
TIDE AND TIDAL CURRENT IN THE BALI STRAIT, INDONESIA
Authors: Berlianty Dessy , Yanagi Tetsuo
Published: October 2018

Tide and tidal current model of the Bali Strait in Indonesia is produced by using a Coupled Hydrodynamical-Ecological Model for Regional and Shelf Seas (COHERENS). With its resolutions in the horizontal (500meters) and the vertical (4layers), the model well reproduces the four major tidal constituents, namely M2, S2, K1, and O1 tides, and their currents. Furthermore the model is used to investigate the tide-induced residual flow and tidal front in the Bali Strait. As a results, the tide-induced residual flow in the Bali Strait during the spring tide on May 16th in 2010 can be attributed to the variation of the strength of two eddies. The first one is the clockwise circulation in the shallow area at the wide part of the strait, while the second one is the small clockwise circulation in the south of the narrow strait. On the other hand, as suggestion from Simpson and Hunter (1974), the tidal front is determined by the value of log(H/U3) (where is the water depth in meters and the amplitude oftidal current amplitude in ms-1). The front detected by the image of sea surface temperature distribution from the satellite corresponds with the contour log(H/U3) of 6.5.

Published: October 2018

Bunguran waters is part of Natuna waters consisting of several small islands located in the southern part of South China Sea, between Sumatera and Kalimantan Island. This paper reported results of a study on spatial distribution and condition of coral reefs and other biota in Bunguran waters,i.e. percentage cover and diversity of coral species. The observation was conducted using line intercept transect (LIT) on eight stations distributed in Salor Island, Sedanau Island, Komang Island, Kumbik Island, Depeh Strait, Sabangmawang Island, Pulau Tiga Village and Tekolampak Cape. The results showed that the reef type of Bunguran were mostly fringing reef dominated by Porites cylindrica, P. lutea and P. rus. Porites spp. were evenly distributed in all location observed. A total of 115 coral species belonging to 16 genera were found and the percentage of living coral cover ranged from 43.20 to 63.53 %. Coral cover reached their maximum at 10â€“15 meter depth and decreased rapidly coincident with the increasing depth. In general, the condition of coral cover was in â€œgoodâ€ category with the average percentage living cover of coral was estimated 51.38%.
TEMPORAL VARIATION IN CERATIUM SPP. ABUNDANCE RECORDED IN JAKARTA BAY
Authors: Thoha Hikmah
Published: October 2018

Ceratium is non-toxic dinoflagellate which has been regarded as the most common bloom-forming species in the coastal waters around the world. Eventhough research and monitoring on phytoplankton In Jakarta Bay have been conducted for long enough, no specific attention has been given to Ceratium community. Therefore, a research was set up in order to understand the dynamic of Ceratium population and its regulating factors. A serial sampling was conducted in 10 stations during 2009 and 2010. Phytoplankton was sampled in horizontal towing using Kitahara plankton net (80 Î¼m mesh size, 0.5 m mouth diameter and 1m length). Phytoplankton enumeration and identification were done by applying Fraction Method on Sedgewick Rafter Counting Chamber (SRCC). The result showed clear temporal variations in Ceratium absolute density, relative density, relative frequency and importance value. When phytoplankton bloomed in August 2009, no Ceratium bloom observed. High density of Ceratium was observed in November 2009 and May 2010, but it contributed relatively small proportion to phytoplankton as a whole (relative density <1%). Due to its low density and relatively limited distribution in Jakarta Bay, Ceratium may demonstrate limited ecological role to the phytoplankton community.
OCCURRENCE OF PSEUDO-NITZSCHIA SPECIES (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE) AT KUCHING ESTUARIES FROM YEAR 2007 TO 2010
Authors: Lim Po-Teen
Published: October 2018

Amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) is a type of seafood poisoning due to human consumption on shellfish mollusks contaminated with algal toxin, domoic acid (DA) derived from the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia. Bloom dynamics of this diatom in tropical waters were poorly understood due to lack of long term study on the organism. Occurrence of Pseudo-nitzschia species was investigated at Santubong and Samariang estuarine waters, Kuching, Sarawak from 2007 to 2010. The estuaries were characterized by shallow water with semi-diurnal tidal cycle. Cell abundance was determined by microscopic enumeration. Temperature, pH, salinity and macronutrients at the sampling sites were determined at each sampling occasions. Highest cell density of Pseudo-nitzschia spp. was recorded 8.0 Ã— 103 cells L in Santubong in April 2009 and P. brasiliana cells were found highest in October 2007 (2 Ã— 104 cells L-1). Increase in cell abundance was coincided with high salinity and low precipitation rate. Water temperature and pH showed insignificant influence on the abundance of Pseudo-nitzschia spp. The result obtained in this study provided fundamental understanding on bloom dynamic of potential harmful Pseudo-nitzschia species in the tropical estuarine waters.
