Abstract

Context
Previous epidemiological studies had inconsistent results regarding the relationship between blood lead level (BLL) and adiposity.

Objective
We aimed to investigate the associations of BLL with body mass index (BMI) particularly using Mendelian randomization analyses and examine the interaction between obesity-predisposing genes and BLL on the associations.

Design and Setting
A total of 3922 participants were enrolled from 16 sites in East China in 2014 from the Survey on Prevalence in East China for Metabolic Diseases and Risk Factors (ChiCTR-ECS-14005052, www.chictr.org.cn). We calculated the weighted BMI genetic risk score (GRS) based on 29 variants that were identified and validated in East Asians. BLL was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry.

Main Outcome Measure
BMI was calculated, and BMI ≥25 kg/m2 was defined as overweight.

Results
Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated significant associations between BMI with each unit increase in lnBLL (β = 0.24; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.40; P &lt; 0.001) and each 1-point increase in BMI-GRS (β = 0.08; 95% CI, 0.05 to 0.11; P &lt; 0.001). The causal regression coefficients of genetically determined BMI for lnBLL were −0.003 (95% CI, −0.075 to 0.070), which showed no significance. The GRS modified the association of BLL with BMI and overweight (BMI ≥25 kg/m2; P for interaction = 0.031 and 0.001, respectively). Each unit of lnBLL was associated with 63% higher odds of overweight (OR 1.63; 95% CI, 1.30 to 2.05) in the highest quartile of GRS, but no significant associations were found in the lower three quartiles.

Conclusions
The associations of BLL with BMI and overweight (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) were significantly modulated by BMI genetic susceptibility.
Living inside the box: environmental effects on mouse models of human disease
Authors: Sundberg John P. , Schofield Paul N. 
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT
The impact of the laboratory environment on animal models of human disease, particularly the mouse, has recently come under intense scrutiny regarding both the reproducibility of such environments and their ability to accurately recapitulate elements of human environmental conditions. One common objection to the use of mice in highly controlled facilities is that humans live in much more diverse and stressful environments, which affects the expression and characteristics of disease phenotypes. In this Special Article, we review some of the known effects of the laboratory environment on mouse phenotypes and compare them with environmental effects on humans that modify phenotypes or, in some cases, have driven genetic adaptation. We conclude that the ‘boxes’ inhabited by mice and humans have much in common, but that, when attempting to tease out the effects of environment on phenotype, a controlled and, importantly, well-characterized environment is essential.
Introduction: Queerbaiting
Authors: Brennan Joseph 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Fans employ ‘queerbaiting’ to call out media producers and performers who they believe have deliberately inserted homoerotic subtext in order to court a queer following and yet never actualize this subtext; it has attracted a level of cultural currency in the popular and scholarly field. In this introduction to the Journal of Fandom Studies special issue on the topic, the issue’s guest editor sets out how the term has developed in extant scholarship, including more recent expansion to account for manifest queerness deemed negative. Articles of the present collection, five in total, are then introduced in line with their connection with current debates and how they advance understandings of the term. Future research directions for scholars writing on the topic are also considered.

Abstract
A triple band-notched ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna etching novel folded resonator on the radiating patch, ground and between the feeding-line, is presented in this paper. The tri-rejection bands are 5.1–6.1 GHz, 7.6–8.8 GHz and 10.1–10.8 GHz which have covered bands of WLAN and ITU 8 GHz. To analyze the principle of proposed antenna, the simulation of parametric study and distribution of surface current are carried out. The size of antenna is 32 mm×19 mm×1 mm. And the test results are in good agreement with the simulation, which indicate that the antenna is promising for UWB system.
Operation of Direct Power Control Scheme in Grid-Connected Mode Using Improved Sliding Mode Observer and Controller
Authors: Elnady A. , Al-Shabi M. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This paper introduces the direct power control (DPC) scheme controlled by a new version of the 1st order sliding mode control to operate a distributed generator. This distributed generator is a core of the distributed generation system (DGS), which injects active and reactive power to the distribution system in a grid-connected mode. The presented 1st order sliding mode control based direct power scheme is very efficient in terms of chattering at steady-state and its dynamic performance. The superior performance of the presented control scheme results from a novel combination of an integral form for the sliding surface along with an innovative power-rate reaching law. The feedback power of the direct power scheme is estimated using an accurate developed formulation of the sliding mode observer. The distributed generator is based on the 5-level diode clamped inverter to minimize the injected harmonics. To prove the accurate performance of this new combination of the sliding mode control with sliding mode observer, the developed sliding mode observer is compared to Luenberger observer and the traditional virtual-flux based power estimation. Also, the whole control scheme is compared to other schemes for the same application such as conventional direct power control and conventional sliding mode control based direct power control.

Abstract
Referring to the video testimony of Holocaust survivor Mrs. K. and interviewer and psychoanalyst Kurt Grünberg, I propose to analyse the body movement behavior in interaction in this interview as the “Gestalt” of memory units. According to the theory of embodiment and following Daniel Stern, I show how it is possible to co-construct sense while watching nonverbal aspects of giving testimony. Using different methods of movement analysis such as KMP, LMA, NEUROGES and MEA, this study was conducted by means of phenomenological inquiry. I suggest that a hermeneutic perspective on movement aspects can thus be used to enrich the transcript and provide a broader and highly specific understanding of this testimony. Movement can thus be seen as an integral part of transmission.
„Und ich bin der Räuber“
Authors: Dreyer Florian 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Children engage in sociodramatic pretend play to develop strategies for dealing with the dangers and uncertainties of their everyday live. This paper examines the path into joint pretend play by a child therapist and her young patient through fine-grained conversation analysis and the usage of the PRAAT-Software. Interactants don’t follow a linear path from the real world into play but are rather negotiating their ideas of how the play might/should unfold. In a second part, this paper deals with the patients’ aggressive behavior as a result of pretended mother-child interactions enacted by the therapist. A special light is shed on how recurrent interactional constellations in the pretend play lead to a development of structures of expectations.
Rhythmus als fundamentale soziale Orientierung
Authors: Dittmann Michael M. 
Published: September 2018

AbstractHow do actors co-ordinate their actions in a well-tested stage play? And how does a dance-theatre performance contribute to a better understanding of processes of social coordination? The way participants co-ordinate social interactions is guided by mechanisms that are true for the actors involved in the scene. Viewed as a burning glass, the dance-theatre scene is analysed in a cumulative theoretical process, as actors in this scripted coordination are oriented towards i) implicit rules in social contexts, ii) non-linear system attributes, iii) anticipations of events, iv) mutual monitoring and v) rhythmic gestalts. Rhythmic pattern analysis shows when and with what tempo and intensity participants adapt to each other’s multi-modal impulses, establishing (prelude), narrowing (climax) and dissolving (conclusion) a rhythmic co-construction. Micro-macro links between transitions of rhythmic gestalts (co-regulation) and the speakers’ contributions (individual autonomy) reveal rhythm as a fundamental social orientation.

Marvell’s Green Thought(s): The Paradoxes of Marvell’s Nature Poetry
Authors: Jajtner Tomáš 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This paper interprets the “green” poetry of Andrew Marvell (1621-1678). It discusses the main features of the Renaissance pastoral, especially the standard elements of the genre and its ethical aspects. Methodologically, it combines ecocritical reading with the philosophical concepts of harmony, based on Pythagorean harmonic lore. It shows the paradoxes of Marvell’s treatment of the pastoral, especially the dramatic contrast between the meditative and comforting aspect of the pastoral genre and the impossibility of reconciling the harmonious ethos of the natural world with the plagues of human love and its finality.
“Hospitality to the Exile and Broken Bones to the Tyrant”: Early Modernity in Walter Scott’s Waverley
Authors: Gül Sinan 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Published anonymously in 1814, Waverley; Or ‘Tis Sixty Years Hence is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott which unfolds the story of a young English soldier, Edward Waverley, and his journey to Scotland. Regarded as the first historical novel, it contains elements of modernity, heralding a new upcoming era in England. Scott obviously displays the concept of the modern/modernity differently from the perception that writers are conveying today, but he hints at the emergence of a society detached from feudal customs in several aspects through the issue of union between England and Scotland. Highlighting the modern characteristics of Walter Scott’s Waverley, this paper argues that Scott employs elements of modernity in his novel long before their disclosure in literature and politics.
From “Big Red” Hydrick to Goat Dykeman: Eudora Welty’s Navigation between the Fictional and the Real in “Where Is the Voice Coming From?”
Authors: Ha Quan-Manh , Hitchcock Ryan 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Known for her lyrical evocations of the American South, Eudora Welty’s short story “Where is the Voice Coming From?” is unique in her oeuvre for both its intense topicality and its direct treatment of the Southern racism that is often only obliquely acknowledged in her fiction. This article examines how Welty maintains her characteristically deep sympathy for her characters, and her profound attention to detail, while narrating the event of a horrific and racist murder. Furthermore, by providing biographical details of the real life “Goat Dykeman”, G.W. Hydrick, informed readers see how even in a brief story about contemporary events, Welty is continually aware of regional history and assumptions, and she uses details, sometimes very subtly, to attach layers of meaning to her stories.
Appropriating Writing in Chinua Achebe’s Arrow of God
Authors: Njeng Eric Sipyinyu 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This paper examines the appropriation of writing as an integral part of the colonial encounter in Achebe’s Arrow of God (1964). Achebe’s hero (Ezeulu) realizes the pitfalls of orality in the confrontation with Europeans who are equipped with writing and its accompaniments. The coming of the West is therefore welcomed as Ezeulu quickly sides with them to empower himself against the contending forces of a disintegrating society. I argue that, as the Chief Priest of Ulu, Ezeulu is aware of the flaws in the oral nature of his religious pantheon and by sending his son Oduche to learn the art of writing he appropriates the technology of writing in order to prevail against his enemies and ineluctably allows his god’s surrender to the Christian God. This absorption into a greater pantheon is facilitated through the appropriation of writing and the sacred book.
Reclaiming the Past: Restoration of Personal and Communal History in Petals of Blood
Authors: Klimková Simona 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The implications of the colonialist discourse, which suggested that the colonized is a person “whose historical, physical, and metaphysical geography begins with European memory” (Thiong’o, 2009), urged postcolonial writers to correct these views by addressing the issues from their own perspectives. The themes of history and communal/national past thus play a prominent role in postcolonial literature as they are inevitably interwoven with the concept of communal identity. In Petals of Blood (1977), the Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o explores the implications of social change as brought about by the political and economic development during the post-independence period. This paper seeks to examine the crucial relation between personal and communal/national history and relate it to the writer’s views of principal legacies of colonialism. As Thiong’o states: “My interest in the past is because of the present and there is no way to discuss the future or present separate from the past” (Thiong’o, 1975). Clearly, the grasping of the past and one’s identification with it seems fundamental in discussing national development. As Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s narratives are always situated in the realm of political and historical context, blending fiction with fact, this paper also aims to elaborate on the implications of his vision.

Perception of nursing staff towards the application of Professional Nursing Care Model and job satisfaction at Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar
Authors: Yuntari Gusti Ayu Krisma , Januraga Pande Putu , Suarjana I Ketut 
Published: September 2018

AbstractBackground and purpose: Several hospitals in Indonesia have developed a model of nursing care known as MAKP (Professional Nursing Care Model) to improve the quality of nursing services. Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar has applied this model. The aim of this study is to explore the perception of nurses towards this approach and assess its association with job satisfaction.Â Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 92 nurses working at the inpatient ward at Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar. Data were collected from July-August 2017 by interview using questionnaires. Data collected included Â the characteristics of respondents (age, gender, education, and employment status), nursesâ€™ perception towards the application of MAKP, and nursesâ€™ job satisfaction.Results: Nursing staff demonstrated perception score of â‰¥15 on leadership elements (68.5%), communication (72.2%), coordination (84.8%), delegation (80.4%), and supervision (66, 3%). Nursing staff with a score of â‰¥15 in coordination perception (AOR=4.48; 95%CI: 1.14-17.54), delegation (AOR=4.00; 95%CI: 1.21-13.23) and supervision (AOR=3.35; 95%CI: 1.25-8.88) expressed higher job satisfaction. While aspects of leadership (AOR=0.98; 95%CI: 0.29-3.79) and communication (AOR=0.76; 95%CI: 0.19-3.05) were not significantly associated with job satisfaction.Conclusions: The majority of nurses have a positive perception towards the MAKP approach. The better perception on coordination, supervision and delegation are found to increase job satisfaction. The results imply that coordination, supervision and delegation should be considered in order to increase job satisfaction in other hospitals.

Background and purpose: The post-placental intra uterine device (IUD) program is one intervention Â to increase IUD uptake however the acceptance remains low. Contraceptive counseling during pregnancy is expected to increase IUD uptake. The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of counseling by involving the husband in order to improve post-placental IUD uptake. The secondary objective is to compare knowledge and perceptions of IUD before and after intervention.Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 58 pregnant women at 37-40 weeks' gestation in three private midwifery clinics in Denpasar, Bali. Subjects were divided into two groups: 29 intervention groups that were given couples counseling and 29 control groups that were given counseling without involving husbands. Base line interview was conducted during enrollment and follow up interview was carried out immediately after delivery.Results: Acceptance of post-placental IUD was found in 21 women (72.41%) in the intervention group and 10 women (34.48%) in the control group (RR=2.2; 95%CI: 1.23-3.84). The mean difference in pretest and post-test scores of knowledge, perceptions of susceptibility and benefits were found to be higher in the intervention group but not statistically significant. The result of multivariate analysis indicated that the variables influencing post-placental IUD acceptance were the child's gender (AOR=45.9, 95%CI: 4.53-465.25), couples counseling with husband (AOR=17.4, 95%CI: 2.55-119.56) and maternal education (AOR =7.1; 95%CI: 1.17-43.40).Conclusions: Couples counseling was found to increase post-placental IUD uptake. In addition, post-placental IUD acceptance is also influenced by the child's gender and maternal education levels. To increase uptake of post-placental IUDs there is a need for upscalling of couples counseling at the time of antenatal care.

La costumbre EN EL ORDENAMIENTO JURÍDICO PRIVADO COLOMBIANO: VISIÓN DESDE LA TEORÍA ANALÍTICA DEL DERECHO Y LA TEORÍA DE LA INTERACCIÓN ESTRATÉGICA
Authors: ESPINEL BENÍTEZ CARLOS ANÍBAL 
Published: September 2018

En la dogmática jurídica tradicional, la Ley y la Costumbre son los modos de manifestación típicos del Derecho. En el siglo XX, de las tesis iusfilosóficas de Norberto Bobbio (1950), nace la Teoría Analítica del Derecho, según la cual, ‘el Derecho es el discurso prescriptivo del Legislador’. Dentro de este marco conceptual, la norma consuetudinaria ha recibido una atención residual como problema teórico; con todo, la Ley y la Costumbre han constituido fuente del Derecho desde lege data, es más, las mores maiorum han precedido cronológicamente a la Ley. Solo el estudio de Bruno Celano (1995), propone una posición moderada en la dialéctica analítica de Bobbio, dando lugar a la Teoría de la Interacción Estratégica; con esta, el profesor de la Universidad de Palermo, no pretermite la formación espontánea de las reglas sociales. No es intención del autor exponer un trabajo de teleología jurídica vasto, con una exposición detallada de núcleos iusfilosóficos que, desbordarían el natural contenido de una lección divulgadora. Sí se espera, sostener una defensa razonada, del importante rol de la Costumbre en el ordenamiento jurídico privado colombiano.

Un réquiem al mítico punto “G”
Authors: Espitia De La Hoz Franklin J. 
Published: September 2018

Objetivo: revisar la literatura presente, respecto a la evidencia científica existente, en relación al punto “G”.
Materiales y métodos:
Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográﬁca en diferentes bases de datos electrónicas para identificar literatura relevante EBSCO, Elsevier, Interscience, Medline, Ovid, Pubmed, SciELO, Scopus (1950 al 2016), Cochrane Group (julio 31 del 2016) y libros de texto impresos, así como de revistas de sexología científica indexadas y sociedades sexológicas reconocidas como: Advances in Sexual Medicine, American Journal of Sexuality Education, British Journal of Sexual Medicine (BJSM), European Journal of Sexual Health, Sexology and The Journal of Sexual Medicine; tratando de encontrar la mejor evidencia científica existente en relación al punto “G”.

Resultados:
Se revisaron 75 títulos, de los cuales 65 cumplían con nuestros criterios de selección, correspondientes a artículos de revisión, diseños de tipo transversal, casos y controles. El termino Punto “G”, no es un término usado en la anatomía humana; y no existen imágenes anatómicas ni ecográficas de dicho punto, por lo tanto, el punto “G” no existe; y a pesar de ser ampliamente aceptado entre las mujeres, los estudios anatómicos, bioquímicos e histológicos no han demostrado su existencia.
Conclusiones:
La literatura muestra que la vagina no tiene ninguna estructura anatómica que pueda desencadenar un orgasmo; y así como las teorías que afirmaban la existencia del punto “G”, por más de treinta años tuvieron su auge, hoy por hoy, la evidencia de su no existencia, también está cogiendo eco.
