Letter to the Editor: The development of knights cabin cancer retreats: a community program to engage cancer survivors’ proactive health behaviors
Authors: Lesser Iris , McGowan Erin , Belanger Lisa 
Published: November 2019

AbstractPurposeCancer survivors often lack the knowledge and skills to return to positive health behaviors following a cancer diagnosis. The use of retreats may be an ideal environment for cancer survivors to learn about health behaviours while receiving social support from other survivors.MethodsKnights Cabin Cancer Retreats was created as a charitable organization in 2014 and is at no cost to participants or their supporters. Elements of the retreat include guided hikes, yoga, classes on nutrition, stress, mindfulness and sleep management techniques, all with a focus on the evidence based theories of behavioral change.ResultsTen retreats have been hosted across Canada to date with 137 cancer survivors and their supporters. Survivors reported that their top learning outcomes from the retreat were physical activity/nutrition and behavioral change/habit development.ConclusionKnight’s Cabin Cancer retreats are unique in their programming with a format of health education that allows for emotional support and engagement with other cancer survivors in a therapeutically natural environment.
Climbing up and down the hierarchy of accountability: implications for organization design
Authors: Romme A. Georges L. 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThe notion of organizational hierarchy is disputed, also in view of the rise of new organizational forms claimed to have “hierarchies without bosses.” To better understand the contested nature of hierarchy, this essay provides a systemic perspective on organizational hierarchy defined as a sequence, or ladder, of accountability levels. I then argue this ladder can be used in a top-down manner (e.g., as a chain of command), but also in bottom-up ways (e.g., by employees taking charge of higher-level responsibilities). Subsequently, several propositions that may guide future work in this area are formulated, and the implications for organization design are fleshed out. Overall, the notion of hierarchy may become less contested by defining it as an accountability ladder which can be instantiated and used in highly different ways.

Abstract
Background
Pharmaceutical Assistance (PA) is a dynamic and multidisciplinary process that aims to supply health systems, programs or services with quality medicines, enabling access and health care, in an efficient and timely manner. The objective of the study was to evaluate the profile of administrative processes for the treatment of PsA, identify the time elapsed in the flow of processes and its associated factors.

Methods
A cross-sectional study of medication requests for the treatment of PsA was carried out between November 2014 and December 2016. Linear regression was used to verify the factors associated with time to delivery.

Results
A total of 218 cases containing 250 drugs were analyzed. The median time between the medical appointment and the first dispensation was 66 days (interquartile range, 44–90). The State proceedings, which includes requesting the drug until the authorization of treatment, was the stage that most contributed to the total time spent. The factors associated with the longer time to delivery of medications were prescriptions coming from clinics and specialty centers, from dermatologists, non-authorized processes and non-persistent patients in the treatment in 12 months.

Conclusion
The median time to receive medicines for the PsA treatment in Belo Horizonte health region after a medical prescription was higher than 2 months. The time between the solicitation of the medicines and the authorization of the treatment in the SUS (State administrative procedure) was the main component of the total time spent.
An investigation into factors that determine the growth rate in the Islamic banking and finance
Authors: Nawaz Huma 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to determine the impact of products and services of Islamic finance in Pakistan. This study has involved an empirical analysis of the environmental factors of growth and its impact on the growth of Islamic Financial Institutions. To investigate the factors of growth, a structural equation model develops that incorporates the main determinants of growth of banking assets and equity funds. The growth in the Islamic equity funds and banking assets has been identified as definite antecedents of growth in the Islamic financial system. The empirical investigation by the structural model using Pakistani dataset revealed that four out of ten hypotheses were significant including two direct paths as antecedents of annual growth. This study provides empirical support for the influence of some development factors to control the barriers of growth in the Islamic finance industry. This paper allows the identification of the major development factors of Islamic financial system that takes into account the importance of operational strategy and environment for the growth of Islamic equity funds and banking assets.

Abstract

Background
Neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R) antagonism is a promising novel treatment for menopausal flashes. However, to avoid adverse hormonal effects it is clinically important to first confirm whether gonadotropin and estradiol concentrations change as a result of their administration.

Methods
Single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of an oral NK3R antagonist (MLE4901) in 28 women aged 40 to 62 years, experiencing &gt;7 hot flashes/24 h; some bothersome or severe (Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02668185). Weekly serum gonadotropins and estradiol levels were measured using commercially available automated immunoassays a priori. Serum estradiol was also measured post hoc using a highly sensitive direct assay by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Hormone levels were compared by the paired sample t tests or by the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test, as appropriate for the distribution of the data.

Results
Mean (standard deviation) serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) concentration was not significantly increased when taking MLE4901 (72.07 ± 19.81 IU/L) compared to placebo (70.03 ± 19.56 IU/L), P = .26. Serum estradiol was also not significantly altered, irrespective of which assay method was used (median interquartile range of serum estradiol by immunoassay: placebo 36 ± 3 pmol/L, MLE4901 36 ± 1 pmol/L, P = .21; median serum highly sensitive estradiol: placebo 12 ± 16 pmol/L, MLE4901 13 ± 15 pmol/L, P = .70). However, mean (standard deviation) serum luteinizing hormone concentration significantly decreased with MLE4901 (27.63 ± 9.76 IU/L) compared to placebo (30.26 ± 9.75 IU/L), P = .0024.

Implication
NK3R antagonists do not increase serum estradiol or FSH despite their reduction in hot flashes. This is clinically significant and highly reassuring for women who have a contraindication to conventional hormone therapy such as prior/existing breast cancer and/or thromboembolism.
Predictive statistical model for the factors associated with prenatal depression among pregnant adolescents in Maha Sarakham province, Thailand
Authors: Jantasin Bhanwasa , Yoosook Witaya , Thaewpia Supawadee 
Published: November 2019

Background: The rate of adolescent pregnancy has steadily increased in Thailand over the years and depression is considered an important psychological problem in many pregnant adolescents. The aims of this study were to determine the proportion of pregnant adolescents with depressive symptoms and to identify a predictive statistical model for the factors related to prenatal depression among adolescents at antenatal care clinics in 10 community health centers in Maha Sarakham Province. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 230 randomly selected participants who were pregnant adolescents who volunteered to participate in the research, those aged ≤19 years, and had an estimated gestational age of ≤18 weeks. Those with severe obstetrics complications or a psychiatric disorder were excluded. The subjects were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire and the Thai version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. The mean age of participants was 17.0 (±1.4) years. Results: Overall, 43.9% of the adolescents had a cut off score of ≥11, suggestive of prenatal depressive symptoms. Multivariate analysis identified that pregnant adolescents at a primary school education level were 6.5 times more likely to experience depression symptoms than those with a diploma. Those who were emotionally supported by their husband or partner compared to relatives had a five times higher chance of presenting depressive symptoms, and those with a perceived bad relationship with their husband or partner seven times higher. The model was well-calibrated (goodness-of-fit test, p = 0.675) and had high discriminative power (ROC curve = 0.73 (95%CI = 0.67 to 0.79). Conclusions: More attention is needed to reduce the known problems with pregnant adolescents and to ensure they continue with their education. Lastly, public education to support mental health initiatives for individuals and families should be encouraged.

Published: November 2019

INTRODUCCIÓN. La literatura ha puesto de manifiesto la importancia del estudio de la identidad académica para el cambio de la educación. En el caso del aprendizaje-servicio como innovación educativa y planteamiento pedagógico, metodología e, incluso, filosofía de la formación plantea una manera diferente de entenderse como docente. En este contexto esta investigación pretende identificar los rasgos y características de la identidad académica del profesorado que trabaja con aprendizaje-servicio (ApS), así como su papel y rol en el trabajo docente y su impacto en la universidad. MÉTODO. Desde la perspectiva de la metodología de métodos mixtos se analizan los datos de cuatro investigaciones sobre ApS en relación a la temática de estudio. En concreto se analiza la información de 319 cuestionarios, 8 entrevistas, 3 grupos de discusión y 60 relatos de profesorado, alumnado y socios comunitarios. RESULTADOS. El profesorado de ApS tiene una representación del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el que el alumnado es el protagonista del proceso y en el que resultan claves la cooperación, la motivación y su participación activa. En este sentido, las funciones a desarrollar por el profesorado son las de acompañar, posibilitar un escenario para que el aprendizaje sea posible y liderar un proceso junto al alumnado y los socios comunitarios que participan en el proceso. DISCUSIÓN. Los resultados muestran que el profesorado universitario en ApS incorpora los componentes que responden a ser profesor de universidad hoy en día para posibilitar un aprendizaje profundo y extenso por parte del alumnado y asumir e impulsar la responsabilidad social universitaria. También que esta identidad acadé- mica cuestiona con su práctica las contradicciones de la universidad actual, marcada por la mercantilización y por la presión evaluadora, planteando una manera de ser y estar transformadora en los contextos en los que se desarrolla.
Leichte Sprache und Klart Språk
Authors: Amrhein Joane 
Published: November 2019

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Artikel behandelt die Konzepte „Leichte Sprache“ (LS) im Deutschen und „Klart Språk“ (KS) im Norwegischen. Dabei werden die jeweiligen Zielgruppen identifiziert und die öffentliche Meinung zu den Konzepten aufgezeigt. Die Unterschiede zwischen den Zielgruppen sind deutlich sichtbar. „Leichte Sprache“ wurde zur Inklusion eingeführt und zielt primär auf Menschen mit Lernschwäche ab. „Klart Språk“ soll für mehr Demokratie im Land sorgen und richtet sich daher an die ganze Bevölkerung. Eine Studie zeigte, dass die Zielgruppe „Leichte Sprache“ überwiegend positiv bewertet, auch wenn nicht alle Regeln für sinnvoll erachtet werden. Jenseits davon wird aber kontrovers diskutiert, ob „Leichte Sprache“ die ganze Bevölkerung ansprechen sollte oder nur bestimmte Gruppen. Auch „Klart Språk“ findet vorwiegend große Zustimmung, besonders in Regierungs- und Verwaltungskreisen. Dennoch gibt es innerhalb der norwegischen Gesellschaft zwei Personengruppen, für die der Einatz von „Klart Språk“ kontrovers diskutiert wird. Das sind zum einen Menschen mit Norwegisch als Fremdsprache und solche, denen das Lesen schwerfällt.
Das Verhältnis von Selbstwerdung und Gott bei Sören Kierkegaard. Eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme
Authors: Park Thomas 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In Fear and Trembling Kierkegaard (alias Johannes de Silentio) writes that Abraham intended to sacrifice Isaac for God’s sake as well as for his own sake. Drawing mainly on The Sickness unto Death I will argue that Kierkegaard construes Abraham as becoming a true self, that is, as someone who becomes self-transparent before God. What this means and how our relationship with God is supposed to be involved in the process of becoming a self is the focus of my paper. While various articles have been written on that topic, my aim here is to give the most charitable interpretation of Kierkegaard’s theses and the theological concepts involved.
Kierkegaard’s Secret Politics of Anguish and Love
Authors: Raudanski Tomer 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper explores Kierkegaard’s method of irony and his distinct conception of temporality through the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. It suggests that Kierkegaard makes an ironic use of the term ‘sacrifice.’ Rather than asking us to abandon all human preferential relationships in favor of an abstract (religious) love to an anonymous neighbor, it advances the view that Kierkegaard’s prime objective is therapeutic. Kierkegaard seeks to disabuse us of the idea that we can fully possess faith, or indeed, anything meaningful whatsoever, such as the love that pulsates in our hearts for a family member, romantic partner, friend, or even to ourselves.
Kierkegaard’s Authorship as Eucharistic Liturgy
Authors: Robinson Tekoa N. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This article will argue that much of Kierkegaard’s authorship is reflective of the characteristics of the Eucharistic liturgy found in the 1830 Forordnet Alter-Bog for Danmark (confession, invitation, preparation/exhortation, consecration, and thanksgiving/praise/blessing), particularly as each of those elements of the liturgy are reflected in his seven Discourses at the Communion on Fridays in Part IV of Christian Discourses. Major components of his authorship function as an indirect invitation to the single individual reader to inwardly experience the prototype-redeemer dialectic as it was enacted in a typical Eucharistic liturgy of Kierkegaard’s day. The readers of Kierkegaard’s work make interpretive decisions not only about Kierkegaard’s texts, but most importantly about themselves, God, and the paradox of Christ, such that by the time they finish the authorship they find themselves inwardly standing at the foot of the altar, either offended by the paradox of Christ and ready to turn and leave, or beating their breasts alongside the tax collector.
Towards a Kierkegaardian Retreating of the Political
Authors: Karlsen Mads Peter 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The first section of this paper argues that we can find in Kierkegaard an idea of equality, epitomized in the notion of “the neighbor” presented in Works of Love, which is highly relevant for, among other things, a critical engagement with today’s “identity politics.” The second section argues that Kierkegaard’s idea of equality is a religious-existential task, but also a task concerning our relationship with other human beings. The third section demonstrates how this idea of equality is evinced in the notion of “the neighbor.” The last section offers some reflections on how we might begin to rethink the political based on this idea of equality.
Vertikaltopik und technische Innovation als diskursiv-rhetorisches Instrumentarium politischer Utopie bei Kurt Hiller
Authors: Beun Cyril de 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The 1920s and 1930s are commonly known as the Golden Age of Flight, but they also saw many experiments in rocketry. This article explores the symbolic traces that such early innovations in aerospace engineering left in the sociopolitical thinking of German writer Kurt Hiller (1885-1972). Particular attention is paid to the rhetorical potential of technological discourses in Hiller’s essays and speeches from the 1920s. The article shows how, as a public intellectual, Hiller was able to interlink scientific, religious, biological and political discourses. It furthermore demonstrates that Hiller rhetorically rejected linear scientific thinking in favour of the utopian promise of space travel. This defining opposition in his reasoning hinged on a topical switch from horizontal to vertical orientation, which underpinned his promulgation of a new type of socialist-meritocratic democracy. In this he mirrored the vertical thinking of his times by applying it in a distinctive way to his own sociopolitical writing and thought.
Entwicklung und Beharrung
Authors: Susteck Sebastian 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The article contributes to the history of education and the humanities from the 1950s to the 1980s. It focuses primarily on literary and cultural studies (especially German studies), both of which it explores from the perspective of university students. In order to examine the views of students, this article analyzes several hundred so-called .semester reports. from the ›Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes‹, West Germanyʼs largest scholarship-awarding institution for high performing students. In the largely unexplored reports students reflect on their academic development, university courses and interests. Presenting results from an ongoing research project, the article discusses the problems and benefits that derive from analyzing the reports. The reports show the special profile of the humanities with their affinity with everyday discourse and their horizontal arrangement of knowledge, reflect the development of paradigms in the field of literary studies, and, finally, provoke the question to what extent we can speak of a history of the humanities.
Bleibende Aufgaben einer phänomenologischen Literaturtheorie
Authors: Lobsien Eckhard 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
What sort of object is a literary text? From a phenomenological point of view - phenomenology considered as both a radical theory of reading and a theory of radical reading - a range of answers arise, many of them tinged with deconstructive momentum. This paper aims at pointing out some basic issues in reading literary texts, offering ten theses on the enduring tasks of phenomenological literary theory.

Abstract
Emeljanovas, A, Mieziene, B, Cesnaitiene, VJ, Fjortoft, I, and Kjønniksen, L. Physical fitness and anthropometric values among Lithuanian primary school children: population-based cross-sectional study. J Strength Cond Res 34(2): 414–421, 2020—The purpose of the current study was to derive representative reference scores on anthropometric measures and test scores for the musculoskeletal, motor, and cardiorespiratory fitness of Lithuanian primary school children according to age and sex. This cross-sectional design study included 3,456 Lithuanian first- to fourth-grade children from age 6 to 10 years. Physical fitness was measured using a nine-item test battery developed by Fjørtoft et al. The test battery included the following tests: standing broad jump (explosive strength), jumping a distance of 7 m on 2 feet, jumping a distance of 7 m on 1 foot (both tests indicate leg muscle strength), throwing a tennis ball with one hand, and pushing a medicine ball with 2 hands (both tests indicate arm muscle strength). These tests measured musculoskeletal fitness. In addition, there were measures of a 10 × 5-m shuttle run (agility), running 20 m as fast as possible (speed), and climbing wall bars (coordination)—general tests of motor fitness. Reduced 6-minute Cooper test (endurance) measured cardiorespiratory fitness. A Student's t test and analysis of variance were performed to indicate differences between sexes and across age, respectively. The significant differences in mean scores in anthropometric and fitness means indicated that boys had higher scores than girls, and older children scored higher than younger children (p < 0.05). Data on normative sex- and age-specific percentile values (3rd, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 97th) for physical fitness tests in Lithuanian primary school children are provided. These data are useful for educational settings, parents, clinicians, sports organizations, and sports clubs in identifying problems or outstanding performance and providing sports programs that develop children's athletic performance.
Differences in Gluteal and Quadriceps Muscle Activation During Weight-Bearing Exercises Between Female Subjects With and Without Patellofemoral Pain

Abstract
Glaviano, NR and Saliba, S. Differences in gluteal and quadriceps muscle activation during weight-bearing exercises between female subjects with and without patellofemoral pain. J Strength Cond Res 36(1): 55–62, 2022—Therapeutic exercises targeting gluteal and quadriceps muscles have been previously investigated; however, these studies have only been conducted on healthy individuals. Female subjects with patellofemoral pain (PFP) present with weakness in their gluteal and quadriceps muscles and commonly perform exercises that target these muscles. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare lower extremity muscle activity during 5 weight-bearing exercises between female subjects with and without PFP. Twenty female subjects with PFP and 20 healthy female subjects completed 5 weight-bearing tasks: a single-leg squat (SLS), lateral step-down, step-up task, step-down task, and lunge. Surface electromyography of the gluteus medius (GMed), gluteus maximus (GMax), vastus lateralis (VL), and vastus medialis oblique (VMO) were collected. Electromyography activity were normalized to maximal voluntary isometric contractions to represent each gluteal and quadriceps muscle as a percentage. Female subjects with PFP completed a SLS and step-up tasks with less GMed and GMax activity (p < 0.05) compared with those without PFP. Female subjects with PFP also had greater VMO activity (p < 0.05) during the step-up, step down, and lunge and VL activity (p < 0.05) during the step-up and SLS compared with healthy female subjects. Practitioners should be aware that there are differences in gluteal and quadriceps muscle activation between female subjects with and without PFP while performing weight-bearing exercises. These findings should influence both the selection of specific exercises and exercise progression when developing a treatment program that has the intended focus to address gluteal or quadriceps strength deficits in female subjects with PFP.
