Authors: Lander Natalie , Koorts Harriet , Mazzoli Emiliano , Moncrieff Kate , Salmon Jo 
Published: November 2019

AbstractPurposeLow levels of physical activity and high levels of sedentary behaviour are pervasive, especially in schools. Pre-service teacher education is pivotal to school and educational reform but is an under-studied setting for physical activity and sedentary behaviour intervention research. The objective of this pilot study was to test the feasibility and potential impact of embedding evidence-based active pedagogy based on an adapted version ofTransform-Us!,Transform-Ed!in one core unit of an undergraduate teacher education degree.MethodsBaseline and follow-up measures (i.e. surveys) were conducted with Bachelor of Education (Primary) pre-service teachers who received theTransform-Ed!intervention and academic educators who delivered the intervention. Focus groups of senior academics and telephone interviews with primary school principals examined perceptions of intervention feasibility and explored potential real-world relevance and impact of pre-service teachers training in active pedagogy.ResultsAfter 12 weeks, pre-service teachers (n = 218) were significantly more willing (pre–post changeΔ = 0.54, 95% CI [0.16, 0.91]), confident (Δ = 1.40, 95% CI [0.89, 1.91]) and competent (Δ = 2.39, 95% CI [1.85, 2.92]) to deliverTransform-Ed!, had more positive feelings about the impact of physical activity on student outcomes (Δ = 2.05, 95% CI [1.58, 2.52]), and perceived fewer barriers to integratingTransform-Ed!into current and future teaching (Δ = − 7.26, 95% CI [− 8.88, − 5.64]). Four major themes emerged from the focus groups (n = 9) and interviews (n = 5) around participant perceptions ofTransform-Ed!: (i) acceptability and appropriateness, (ii) need (tertiary level), (iii) need (primary level) and (iv) overcoming challenges.ConclusionTheTransform-Ed!pilot study demonstrated promising results across multiple participant levels, as it was perceived to be feasible, acceptable and appropriate by pre-service teachers, academics and school principals. The findings have direct implications for the progression ofTransform-Ed!from pilot to a future definitive trial.
Vehicle ergonomics contributing to a diabetic foot ulcer
Authors: Jarocki Christine , Schmidt Brian M. , Holmes Crystal Murray 
Published: November 2019

Abstract

Background
Diabetes mellitus continues to be a rising concern in the United States. It affects an estimated 9.4% of the population and approximately 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed annually. Approximately 85% of diabetic foot ulcers are associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and an infected diabetic foot ulcer is often the first sign of diabetes. There are countless studies within the literature that investigate how insensate feet and the manifestation of a foot ulcer further decrease quality of life and increase risk for mortality. Literature focuses on gait and kinematics that contribute to the formation of a diabetic foot ulcer. While pressure and shear forces are etiologic factors that may lead to the formation of diabetic foot ulcers, the position of the foot while driving an automobile has been ignored as a possible risk factor.

Case presentation
The clinical case will describe the events of healing a neuropathic diabetic foot ulcer beyond the standard of care treatment plan. It is one of the first case reports to describe vehicle ergonomics as an etiologic factor contributing to a diabetic foot ulcer. Once the patient becomes aware of the unnecessary source of pressure, education and care is provided to manage this likely source of daily pressure to the neuropathic foot.

Conclusion
The article emphasizes the importance of a complete assessment, including nontraditional factors, which may lead to diabetic complications.

Abstract

Context
Testicular growth represents the best clinical variable to evaluate male puberty, but current pediatric hormone references are based on chronological age and subjective assessments of discrete puberty development stages. Determination of testicular volume (TV) by ultrasound provides a novel approach to assess puberty progression and stratify hormone reference intervals.

Objective
The objective of this article is to establish references for serum testosterone and key hormones of the male pituitary-gonadal signaling pathway in relation to TV determined by ultrasound.

Design, Setting, and Participants
Blood samples from 414 healthy Norwegian boys between ages 6 and 16 years were included from the cross-sectional “Bergen Growth Study 2.” Participants underwent testicular ultrasound and clinical assessments, and serum samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem–mass spectrometry and immunoassays.

Main Outcome Measures
We present references for circulating levels of total testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and sex hormone–binding globulin in relation to TV, chronological age, and Tanner pubic hair stages.

Results
In pubertal boys, TV accounted for more variance in serum testosterone levels than chronological age (Spearman r = 0.753, P &lt; .001 vs r = 0.692, P &lt; .001, respectively). Continuous centile references demonstrate the association between TV and hormone levels during puberty. Hormone reference intervals were stratified by TV during the pubertal transition.

Conclusions
Objective ultrasound assessments of TV and stratification of hormone references increase the diagnostic value of traditional references based on chronological age or subjective staging of male puberty.
Is an analytical dose engine sufficient for intensity modulated proton therapy in lung cancer?
Authors: Teoh Suliana , Fiorini Francesca , George Ben , Vallis Katherine A , Van den Heuvel Frank 
Published: November 2019

Objective:
To identify a subgroup of lung cancer plans where the analytical dose calculation (ADC) algorithm may be clinically acceptable compared to Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation in intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT).

Methods:
Robust-optimised IMPT plans were generated for 20 patients to a dose of 70 Gy (relative biological effectiveness) in 35 fractions in Raystation. For each case, four plans were generated: three with ADC optimisation using the pencil beam (PB) algorithm followed by a final dose calculation with the following algorithms: PB (PB-PB), MC (PB-MC) and MC normalised to prescription dose (PB-MC scaled). A fourth plan was generated where MC optimisation and final dose calculation was performed (MC-MC). Dose comparison and γ analysis (PB-PB vs PB-MC) at two dose thresholds were performed: 20% (D20) and 99% (D99) with PB-PB plans as reference.

Results:
Overestimation of the dose to 99% and mean dose of the clinical target volume was observed in all PB-MC compared to PB-PB plans (median: 3.7 Gy(RBE) (5%) (range: 2.3 to 6.9 Gy(RBE)) and 1.8 Gy(RBE) (3%) (0.5 to 4.6 Gy(RBE))). PB-MC scaled plans resulted in significantly higher CTVD2 compared to PB-PB (median difference: −4 Gy(RBE) (−6%) (-5.3 to −2.4 Gy(RBE)), p ≤ .001). The overall median γ pass rates (3%–3 mm) at D20 and D99 were 93.2% (range:62.2–97.5%) and 71.3 (15.4–92.0%). On multivariate analysis, presence of mediastinal disease and absence of range shifters were significantly associated with high γ pass rates. Median D20 and D99 pass rates with these predictors were 96.0% (95.3–97.5%) and 85.4% (75.1–92.0%). MC-MC achieved similar target coverage and doses to OAR compared to PB-PB plans.

Conclusion:
In the presence of mediastinal involvement and absence of range shifters Raystation ADC may be clinically acceptable in lung IMPT. Otherwise, MC algorithm would be recommended to ensure accuracy of treatment plans.

Advances in knowledge:
Although MC algorithm is more accurate compared to ADC in lung IMPT, ADC may be clinically acceptable where there is mediastinal involvement and absence of range shifters.
Image-stitching artefacts and distortion in CCD-based cephalograms and their association with sensor type and head movement: ex vivo study
Authors: Svystun Olesya , Wenzel Ann , Schropp Lars , Spin-Neto Rubens 
Published: November 2019

Objectives: To assess presence and severity of image-stitching artefacts and distortion in lateral cephalograms acquired by CCD-based sensors and their association with movement. Methods: A human skull was mounted on a robot simulating five head movement types (anteroposterior translation/lifting/nodding/lateral rotation/tremor), at three distances (0.75/1.5/3 mm), based on two patterns (skull returning/not returning to the initial position, except for tremor). Three cephalometric units, two ProMax-2D (Planmeca Oy, Finland), one with Dimax-3 (D-3) and one with Dimax-4 (D-4) sensor, and one Orthophos-SL (ORT, Dentsply-Sirona, Germany), acquired cephalograms during the predetermined movements, in duplicate (54 with movement and 28 controls with no movement per unit). One observer assessed the presence of an image-stitching line (none/thin/thin with vertical stripes or thick), misalignment between the anatomical structure display (none/<1/1–3/>3 mm), and distortion in each image quadrant (present/absent), in duplicate. Severe image-stitching artefacts were defined for images scored with a thin line with vertical stripes or thick line and/or misalignment between anatomical structure display ≥1 mm. Severe distortion was defined for images scored with distortion in both anterior quadrants of the skull. κ-statistics provided intraobserver agreement. Results: Intraobserver reproducibility was >0.8 (all assessed parameters). Severe image-stitching artefacts were scored in 70.4 and 18.5% of D-3 and D-4 movement images, respectively. Severe distortion was scored in 64.8% of D-3, 5.6% of D-4 and 37% of ORT movement images. Neither severe image-stitching artefacts nor severe distortion were observed in control images. Conclusion: Sensor type, movement type, distance and pattern affected presence and severity of image-stitching artefacts and distortion in CCD-based cephalograms.
The Analytic Model of Consent and The Square of Opposition
Authors: Papageorgiou Konstantinos 
Published: November 2019

Modelling consent is a process prior to any discussion about it, be it theoretical or practical. Here, after examining consent, I shall attempt to present a “logical generator” that produces all different cases of consent (and/or of non-consent), so that afterwards we may articulate a two-dimensional model which will enable us to coherently demonstrate all possible types of consent. The resulting model will be combined with Aristotle’s square of opposition, offering us even greater insight. I shall claim that full(y) informed consent is an archetype, not realized in most cases; it is just one case out of hundreds more. I shall conclude with an educational model for consent, the principle of specificity, arguing that if we wish to both understanding consent and become more adept in exercising it, we need a targeted educational system – not just “better education” in general.
The Concept of Political Difference in Oliver Marchart and its Relationship with the Heideggerian Concept of Ontological Difference
Authors: Efthimiou Christoforos 
Published: November 2019

The concept of political difference concerns the distinction between politics and the political. The political refers to the ontological making possible of the different domains of society, including the domain of politics in the narrow sense. Political difference was introduced as a reaction to the theoretical controversy between foundationalism and anti-foundationalism. This reaction took the form of post-foundationalism. According to Marchart, post-foundationalism does not entirely deny the possibility of grounding. It denies only the possibility of an ultimate transcendent foundation insofar as this ontological impossibility makes possible the historical and contingent grounds in plural.The Heideggerian concept of ontological difference also undermines the possibility of an ultimate ontical ground which establishes the presence of all the other beings. If one wants to think beyond the concept of ground, one should obtain a clear understanding of Being as Being, namely one should grasp the Being in its difference from beings. All the same, Heidegger tends to replace the ontical grounds of metaphysics with Being itself as a new kind of ultimate ontological foundation.On the other hand, one can detect in many points of Heideggerian argumentation traces of a second alternative understanding of ontological difference which does not belong in Heidegger’s intentions and which undermines the primordiality of Being. This alternative understanding establishes a reciprocity between Being and beings. In our view, political difference not only is based in this second way of understanding but, at the same time, develops more decisively the mutual interdependence between Being and beings.In political difference the grounding part, namely the political, possesses both a grounding character and a derivative one. Politics and political both grounds and dislocate each other in an incessant and oscillating, historical procedure which undermines any form of completion of the social.

Attitude is one of the success factors in language learning. It includes students’ feelings, beliefs, and behavior tendencies. This study is conducted using the mixed-method research exploring English Department students’ attitude on learning English. The main focus of the study is to discover students’ belief on English, to understand students’ attitude, feeling and behavior on learning English. The data were collected through questionnaire and semi-structured interview. The participants of the reseach were fifty five students selected randomly to fill in the questionnaire. However, only six students were selected purposively to gain data more in-depth through interview. The results indicate that English department students show positive attitude in three points of cognitive aspect; the students’ reason for learning English, the students’ level of English competeent, and the students’ thinking toward learning English which they consider that English is important. Moreover, the students have positive in four points of emotional attitude; the students’ interesting in learning English, the students’ feeling in learning English, the students’ preference in learning English, and the students’ enjoyment in learning English which the students show good feeling in learning English. Furthermore, the students have positive in three points of behavioral attitude; the students’ attention during learning English, students’ participation in the English which the students act posively during learning English. In other words, English Department students were found to have positive attitudes toward learning English.
The diagnostic accuracy of the faecal immunochemical test for colorectal cancer in risk-stratified symptomatic patients
Authors: D’Souza N , Hicks G , Benton SC , Abulafi M 
Published: November 2019

Introduction The faecal immunochemical test detects blood in the faeces, reporting faecal haemoglobin quantitatively in micrograms of haemoglobin per gram of faeces. The aim of this pilot study was to determine the feasibility of using the faecal immunochemical test as a rule-out test in symptomatic patients at low and high risk of colorectal cancer. Material and methods Between November 2016 and October 2017, consecutive symptomatic patients within a multicultural part of London were recruited to perform a faecal immunochemical test prior to colonoscopy. Analysis was performed on the HM-JACKarc analyser. Results Faecal immunochemical test samples were returned by 298 patients who underwent colonoscopy. There was no significant variation in faecal haemoglobin levels by age, sex, ethnicity or deprivation. The overall detection rate for colorectal cancer was 100% at 2 µg/g and 92% at 10 µg/g. If a faecal haemoglobin threshold for investigation of 2 µg/g (ie detectable) or 10 µg/g had been employed, the number of colonoscopies would have been reduced by 70% and 84%, respectively, in all symptomatic patients. For low-risk patients, the sensitivity of the faecal immunochemical test for colorectal cancer at both thresholds of 2 µg/g or 10 µg/g remained 100%, with the number of colonoscopies reduced by 80% and 91%, respectively. Conclusion This study shows that the faecal immunochemical test is a promising technology that detected colorectal cancer in all high- or low-risk symptomatic patients in our cohort at a threshold of detectable faecal haemoglobin. Data from adequately powered cohort studies will elucidate the true diagnostic accuracy of the test and the rate and patterns of undetected colorectal cancer.
Representaciones culturales, narraciones y estéticas: Estéticas de vanguardia, cultura política y poéticas coloquiales en las revistas de la izquierda intelectual sesentista
Authors: Bonano Mariana 
Published: November 2019

El presente artículo aspira a indagar en los proyectos de escritores constituidos en torno de tres publicaciones p eriódicas de la década de 1960 en Argentina, Zona de la poesía americana, El Barrilete y Hoy en la cultura, focalizando una dimensión común a todos ellos: el planteo programático de redefinición del trabajo poético, o bien del «problema de la referencialidad en la escritura» (Porrúa, 1992), en pos de la búsqueda de una forma nueva de hablar sobre el referente y desde una colocación contraria a la de las estéticas de vanguardia. Intenta inquirir en esta cuestión mediante el análisisy puesta en diálogo de textos programáticos, ensayos acerca de la teoría del arte, indagaciones sobre la relación entre el poeta y el poema, recogidos en las páginas de las tres revistas. Esta labor posibilitará en particular indagar en la vinculación que Zona..., El Barrilete y Hoy en la cultura establecen con la estética del surrealismo francés y con algunos de sus cultores más conspicuos.
Producción audiovisual, políticas culturales y de la memoria: Las políticas culturales en la industria cine- matográfica: la producción y exhibición de cine documental en Argentina (2001–2015)
Authors: Carril Alejandra Cecilia 
Published: November 2019

El presente trabajo pretende dar cuenta de la política cultural impulsada en nuestro país a principios del XXI en relación a la industria cinematográfica. Interesa indagar un ámbito generalmente menospreciado en el presupuesto estatal, o al menos no tenido en cuenta al mismo nivel que la producción, circulación y difusión del cine de ficción: el campo del cine documental. Se trata de un campo que cobra relevancia en Argentina a partir de 2001, cuando a la producción de algunos realizadores que se venía desarrollando en la transición democrática, se suma la de numerosos colectivos de realizadores en la coyuntura de crisis política, social y económica que se gesta con el recrudecimiento del neo- liberalismo y en el marco de cambios estructurales en elcampo de la tecnología que dan lugar a nuevas formas de producción y distribución del material audiovisual. Las acciones político-militantes de las asociaciones representativas del sector -la mayoría constituidas entre fines de los ’90 y principios de los 2000- se traducirán en el período abordado en un reconocimiento y trato especial por parte del Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales para la producción documental, generándose una estrategia de promoción y subvención. En primer lugar se recorren algunas particularidades de la industria cinematográfica argentina, para explicar la alta concentración económica y geográfica que la caracteriza y la imperiosa necesidad de apoyo estatal para sostener la actividad cinematográfica en el tiempo. En segundo lugar se indaga en las políticas sostenidas en las últimas décadas desde el Estado argentino en el sector cinematográfico, que han marcado un desfasaje entre la producción y la comercialización. En tercer lugar se analizan los cambios producidos en la industria cinematográfica argentina y latinoamericana a partir de 2008 con el avance de la digitalización, que si bien representa en lo inmediato una mejora en las condicionesde exhibición, tiene a mediano y largo plazo consecuencias que acentúan la concentración oligopólica. En cuarto lugar se aborda el campo de la producción de cine documental, dando cuenta de las formas de trabajo y los circuitos de exhibición de los grupos de realizadores, que se consolidan en el marco de la crisis argentina de 2001 y los cambios que supone la tecnología digital. En quinto lugar se examinan los avances logrados en el período en función de las demandas de las asociaciones de documentalistas a través del Plan de Fomento del Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales, asícomo las cuentas pendientes sobre todo en materia de distribución y exhibición de cine documental.
The Hybrid Case Study of "Adam": Perspectives from Behavioral Activation and the Influence of Heteronormativity on LGB-Affirmative Therapy
Authors: Martell Christopher R. 
Published: November 2019

In the hybrid case of "Adam," Mandel (2014) has provided an example of a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment for a depressed, gay, man who is in the process of coming out and disclosing his sexual identity. Affirmative therapies, however, are practiced within a broader context of a culture that presumes that heterosexuality is the norm by which sexual minorities are compared. This commentary suggests an alternative approach to the comprehensive CBT approach, with a briefer behavioral activation treatment possibility. Also, areas wherein a well-meaning, knowledgeable and skilled therapist still made possible missteps because of the influence of the overall heteronormative culture are discussed.
Schreiben als Nebentätigkeit eines Bibliothekars - mehr Lust als Last!
Authors: Sühl-Strohmenger Wilfried 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Warum Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare zu fachlichen und beruflichen Themen schreiben und publizieren sollten, leuchtet nicht von vornherein ein, könnte auch als unnötige und zusätzliche Belastung neben den ohnehin wachsenden Anforderungen des täglichen Geschäfts gesehen werden. Eine solche Sichtweise würde jedoch der Bedeutung des Schreibens im und neben dem Beruf nicht annähernd gerecht, da Schreiben stets auch Metakognitionen hervorbringt, also ein kritisches Nachdenken über das eigene Denken und Handeln im bibliothekarischen Kontext. Sodann fördert das Schreiben die Klärung komplexer Zusammenhänge in der eigenen Bibliothek oder dem Bibliothekswesen generell, es trägt erheblich zu einer lebhaften internen und externen Kommunikation bei und vermittelt Impulse und Anregungen, die Neues hervorbringen können. In dem folgenden Beitrag schildert der Autor seine eigenen vielfältigen Schreiberfahrungen auf verschiedenen Ebenen und im Rahmen unterschiedlicher Genres - der Hauszeitschrift, dem Verbandsorgan, dem Fachartikel, dem Fachbuch und dem Sammelwerk.
