Authors: Murad Amna , Iftikhar Ifra , Butt Abbass Rashid 
Published: January 2020

This is a quasi-experimental study; a four-month intervention-program designed to boost the empathetic attitude in public school students of Pakistan. The empathy towards bullying was assessed in experimental (199) and control (184) groups. The study had three phases. In the first phase the students were engaged in different activities to foster empathy which established that empathetic score of students increased and the score of bullying tendencies decreased after the use of interventions. The activity began with a story, followed by a group discussion, highlighting the different aspects of human feelings, emotions and behaviors, alongside encouraging children to give their feedback. In the second phase 98 students were selected from treated group, boys (N= 53) and girls (N= 45). Six more interventions were applied including reciting stories, question-answer sessions related to stories, followed by asking about the lessons students learnt from these stories. These conversations ended on brief lectures of trainers about empathy guided by the researcher during the training of trainers. After completion of this session, in the third phae, for qualitative assessment selected students from treated group were asked to write a story about empathy. The study found that the boys and girls grasped the concept of empathy differently. For boys described empathy as being helpful while girls as a means of getting happiness; but both did not associate empathy with kindness. Also, the boys believed that parents are the first to notice changes in their personality while girls think its their teachers. Moreover, for adopting the attitude of empathy, unlike boys, girls showed more collective rather than personalized approach.

Published: January 2020

Background: Depressive symptoms were thought to increase the risk of vascular dementia. Previous studies reported widespread white matter damages in the subcortical vascular mild cognitive impairment (svMCI), but little is known about the mechanism of depressive symptoms in svMCI. Objective: In the current study, we aim to explore the white matter microstructural alterations in svMCI with depressive symptoms, and their associations with clinical measurements. Methods: Fifty-eight subjects including 18 svMCI with depression (svMCI+D), 17 svMCI without depression (svMCI-D), and 23 normal controls (NC) were included in the study. Voxel-based analyses were performed on fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD). Results: Compared to NC, both svMCI groups showed decreased FA in the bilateral insula and the left precentral gyrus, and increased MD in the cerebellum. Compared to svMCI-D, svMCI+D showed increased FA in left precentral gyrus. Moreover, svMCI+D showed significant correlation between the increased MD in the cerebellum and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) scores. Conclusion: Our findings of white matter alterations might be associated with executive function and memory performance in the svMCI patients. Moreover, the structural alterations in the cerebellum might underlie the mechanism of depressive symptoms in svMCI patients.
Communicative Tolerance of Policemen in the Context of Their Emotional Intelligence’ Study

Published: January 2020

This paper presents the results of an empirical study of the peculiarities of manifestations of emotional intelligence among police officers with different levels of communicative tolerance at the stage of primary vocational training. In this context, the actual model of emotional intelligence and its practical application need to be verified taking into account the specifics of police activity. Emotional intelligence is considered primarily as an integral feature of the personality of a policeman in the context of his professional communication in situations that are problematic. The emotional intelligence of the individual is represented in the article as a cognitive ability to perceive and analyze both their own and others’ emotional states and emotional manifestations; as well as the ability to correctly regulate and use them. Communicative tolerance, in turn, is one of the most important features of the police officer, which shows his attitude to people, the degree of tolerance to unpleasant or unacceptable, in his opinion, mental states, qualities and deeds. As a psychodiagnostic tool, the questionnaire “General communicative tolerance” (V. V. Boyko) and the “Emotional Intelligence” test (D. V. Lusin) were used. The sample consisted of 132 students of initial training of police officers. The results of the study indicate differences in the manifestations of emotional intelligence in students with different levels of communicative tolerance. It is empirically proven that emotional intelligence in situations of problematic communication acts as an integral personality of the police officer, which allows him to successfully recognize and interpret the emotions of both his own and the communication partner. The study of the level of emotional intelligence of the police at the stage of professional training will allow the psychological support service to better address the tasks of professional selection and psychological support for future policemen.
Features of seasonal dynamics of sheep Haemonchosis in the territory of Zaporizhzhya region
Authors: Melnychuk V. 
Published: January 2020

The article presents the results of studies on the indicators of invasiveness of domestic sheep Ovis aries (Linnaeus, 1758), the causative agent of Haemonchus contortus (Rudolphi 1803; Cobb 1898) and its characteristics depending on the season in the climatic and geographical conditions of the Zaporizhzhya region. The research was conducted during 2015–2019 on the basis of laboratories of the departments of parasitology and ichthyopathology of the Stepan Gzhytskyi National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies Lviv and Parasitology and Veterinary-Sanitary Examination of the Poltava State Agrarian Academy. Helminths were isolated by the results of complete helminthological sections of the digestive organs of the dead or slaughtered sheep, and the indicators of the extent and intensity of the invasion were established. Specific identification of the identified nematodes was performed taking into account the morphological features of mature males and females. It is proved that H. contortus is a fairly widespread species of nematodes in the population of domestic sheep in the territory of the studied region. The magnitude of the invasion of animals reached 66.36 %, the intensity of the invasion – 25.56 ± 1.51 samples/animal (for fluctuations from 1 to 79 sp./an.). It is noted that the causative agent of Haemonchosis is registered during the year. At the same time, the degree of sheep infection depends on the season of the year and is characterized by certain patterns in the extent and intensity of H. contortus invasion of sheep. The peak of the animals with the nematodes was detected in the autumn-winter period of the year, EI ranged from 73.23 to 78.57 %. The decline in invasion magnitude was observed in spring (52.63 %) and summer (59.68 %). Seasonal fluctuations in the infestation rates had some differences and were characterized by maximum values in the summer and autumn seasons ranging from 27.49 ± 2.52 to 37.35 ± 2.36 samples/animal. During the winter, the intensity of H. contortus infestation in sheep gradually decreased (13.73 ± 2.12 sp/an) and gained minimum values in the spring of the year (10.85 ± 1.78 sp./an). The conducted researches illuminate the current epizootic condition of sheep haemorrhage in the territory of Zaporizhzhya region, expand and supplement the already existing data that will allow to increase the effectiveness of the use of therapeutic and preventive measures in this invasion.
The Treatment of Coccydynia and Headache with Transrectal OMT: A Case Report
Authors: Nourani Bobby , Gilbert Ross , Rabago David 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Coccydynia is debilitating pain of the coccyx that substantially impacts quality of life. Although most cases resolve with conservative therapy, pain can become chronic and involve other anatomical areas. Treatment options include physical therapy, manual medicine, injection, and surgery with mixed results. Manual medicine options vary depending on provider and physical exam findings. Little is known about transrectal therapy. We present a case of a 21-year-old female with coccydynia and subsequent headaches that failed conventional work-up and conservative therapy but resolved with osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT).
The para-disciplinary role of Design transforming innovation in organisations
Authors: LIEVESLEY Matthew , YOUNG Robert , O’LEARY David , WARWICK Laura 
Published: January 2020

The research addresses the role of Design creating value at the intersections of disciplines in organisations. It presents a revision to the discourse on the nature of and relationship between Design and other disciplines.
This paper advocates a new para-disciplinary term for the post-disciplinary state of Design in its contemporary practices, acting as the ‘inter-discipline’ within organisations that are intent on the strategic development of their innovation capacity and potential. The work builds on a synthesis of findings from a longitudinal range of practice-based design research projects undertaken across industry and the third sector over the last four years. Case studies of these projects demonstrate that the involvement of Design has resulted in successive levels of influence leading to the radical transformation of the organisations’ innovation strategies. The implication for the generic aspect of these findings are discussed in terms of inter-disciplinary discourses.
The Leisure Time Canvas
Authors: DEN HAAN Marjolein C. , BRANKAERT Rens G. A. , LU Yuan 
Published: January 2020

Understanding your user's daily life and interests is essential in providing insights that can be leveraged to define new design opportunities. However, when designing for older adults, this can be challenging because, users may find it complicated to express themselves; designers may have difficulties to take their perspective and empathize with them. This paper introduces the Leisure Time Canvas, an empathy toolkit designed to facilitate older users to share stories about their activities and hobbies, to elicit their perspectives, desires and needs, and thereby inspire the design process. We report on the design of the canvas and its explorative use with six older adults and reflect on the resulting stories and design implications. This canvas aims to facilitate interaction between designers and user groups that may be difficult to empathize with or experience challenges in verbalizing their needs.
Track 2.c Introduction: Gender of/in design practice and profession
Authors: KAYGAN Pınar , ARMSTRONG Leah , SERELUS Katarina , SAVOLA Kaisu 
Published: January 2020

Social constructionist feminist research of the last decades has shown that if we look closely enough we can see that artifacts are gendered by design. Some artifacts are gendered explicitly through their direct association with the traditional binary of women or men users; while gender is inscribed into others in more subtle ways through the normative conceptions regarding (1) their use contexts (public/private), (2) gender symbols and myths (strong/weak, rational/emotional, dirty/clean, adventurous/safe etc.) and (3) relationship with technology. This dualistic view serves as a useful strategy in design and marketing to create new segments to expand the market. Yet artifacts shaped by this view embody, represent and reproduce asymmetries in gender power relations (Kaygan, Kaygan and Demir, 2019).
These asymmetries also find form in the professional work cultures and power dynamics of design practice (Armstrong, 2012; Kaygan, 2016). Gender dynamics are both seen and unseen; played out in the everyday interactions of the design office or studio and in the public performance of the designer’s role for client or public audiences (Rossi, 2009). As such, implicitly and explicitly, gender roles have the capacity to enable or inhibit the role of designer as an agent for social change.
This track seeks to open up a new avenue for feminist scholarship and trans/gender research in design innovation by exploring the relationship between design and gender and its implications for design as both practice and profession. To this end, we invited papers addressing the questions including but not exclusive to:

What is the relationship between gender and design practice and how is this changing in contemporary design culture?
How and to what extent can designers act as agents of change by formulating gender inequalities in terms of design problems?
Are there any design methodologies and tools that encourage inclusive and gender-sensitive design practices?
How can contemporary post-colonial theory and trans/gender research generate new approaches?
What insights can gender and design histories bring to contemporary research?
How can design educators better contribute to creating an awareness in young designers to design for a more egalitarian world for people with various gender identities?

Published: January 2020

In Hong Kong of the year 2017, a new academic community convened to attend to pressing issues regarding design as source of innovation. The inaugural Academy for Design Innovation Management Conference (nee Design Management Academy) attended to a sense of urgency regarding the adoption of design capabilities within organisations as source of innovation. The title of the conference, Research perspectives on creative intersections was therefore pertinent, with papers exploring how design and designers were intersecting with new business challenges. Two years later in London (2019), rhetoric has notably shifted from matters of adoption to strengthening design capabilities within organisations, thereby enabling those organisations to unlock the possibilities and subsequent benefits of design. These possibilities include but are not limited to strategic and cultural renewal, design of new processes and meaningful engagement with hard-to-reach stakeholders.
To address the complex nature of today’s societal and economic problems, professional organisations now recognize that traditional tools and approaches may not provide the required solutions. To address complex challenges, many managers and business leaders have consciously turned to design approaches over the past decade, including both public and private sectors. To increase design capabilities, these organisations have established innovation labs with designers, have recruited designers in strategic positions, and/or have started building the design competence of existing staff through educational programs, often provided by design consultancies. Yet to date, describing the resultant impact of teaching. Individual design competencies on organisational design capabilities has proven elusive.

Manufacturers are allocating more of their resources to achieve customer delight by providing a better quality product and additional features at the lowest possible cost not only to acquire the market for existing product but also to increase and secure the demand for future products.With the increase in trend of travelling, the manufacturers need to meet and exceed the demands of their customers, the most vital demand of travellers are comfortable, reliable and multifunctional backpacks. Therefore, it become a necessity for manufacturers to control the cost and introduce new features to the rucksack.The aim of the paper “Application of Value Analysis Techniques on a Rucksack” is to perform a case study to improve and introduce new features in a rucksack through VA/VE methodology. The essence of value engineering technique involves the critical analysis of the functions of a product over all of its stages and producing a creative and innovative way to achieve the function at the lowest cost. Value analysis is an approach to improve the value of an item or process by understanding its constituent components and their associated costs. It then seeks to find improvements to the components by either reducing their cost or increasing the value of the functions. Upon application of VA methodology, a potential saving and multifunctionality is observed in the rucksack.

Ultrasound Evidence of Acute Appendicitis in a Patient with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
Authors: Siddiqui Rija , Nadeem Shahid , Menon Neethu , Nesiama Jo-Ann 
Published: January 2020

Introduction: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a clinical syndrome characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. Children with HUS often present with gastrointestinal complaints, including abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. This presentation can mimic other gastrointestinal illnesses, including appendicitis, which further adds to the known diagnostic challenge. Case Report: We report an 8-year-old male who presents with abdominal pain and diarrhea-associated HUS. Kidney ultrasound obtained for acute kidney failure showed incidental findings of dilated appendix which were confirmed on a follow-up appendix ultrasound. Patient lacked the typical findings of acute appendicitis such as fever, abdominal tenderness or rigidity. We observed the patient without medical or surgical treatment for acute appendicitis as ultrasound findings were attributed to HUS, and the patient’s abdominal pain and HUS resolved without any intervention. Conclusion: Self-limited appendiceal inflammation may be seen in diarrhea-associated HUS, and the diagnostic utility of appendix ultrasound to evaluate for acute appendicitis may be limited in a patient with HUS and abdominal pain.

Published: January 2020

Introduction: Retroperitoneal hemorrhage from iliac artery injury is a potential cause of hemorrhagic shock and death if not diagnosed early and treated promptly.Case Report: A 55-year-old man, who had non-penetrating blunt trauma, presented with hemorrhagicshock due to retroperitoneal hemorrhage from iliac artery. Although non-penetrating blunt trauma is not a common cause of iliac artery injury, this case demonstrates that deployment of a peripheral drug-eluting stent can successfully treat a common iliac artery (CIA) perforation caused by a blunt trauma. Conclusion: In this case report, we want to share our experience on the successful endovascular treatment of iliac artery perforation after a non-penetrating blunt trauma in patients with hemorrhagic shock. We indicate that this approach is a less invasive treatment modality than conventional surgical repair of iliac artery perforation.
