von Kármán–Howarth Equation for Hall Magnetohydrodynamics: Hybrid Simulations
Authors: Hellinger Petr , Verdini Andrea , Landi Simone , Franci Luca , Matteini Lorenzo 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
A dynamical vectorial equation for homogeneous incompressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence together with the exact scaling law for third-order correlation tensors, analogous to that for the incompressible MHD, is rederived and applied to the results of two-dimensional hybrid simulations of plasma turbulence. At large (MHD) scales the simulations exhibit a clear inertial range where the MHD dynamic law is valid. In the sub-ion range the cascade continues via the Hall term, but the dynamic law derived in the framework of incompressible Hall-MHD equations is obtained only in a low plasma beta simulation. For a higher beta plasma the cascade rate decreases in the sub-ion range and the change becomes more pronounced as the plasma beta increases. This break in the cascade flux can be ascribed to nonthermal (kinetic) features or to others terms in the dynamical equation that are not included in the Hall-MHD incompressible approximation.
Optimal Target Stars in the Search for Life
Authors: Lingam Manasvi , Loeb Abraham 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The selection of optimal targets in the search for life represents a highly important strategic issue. In this Letter, we evaluate the benefits of searching for life around a potentially habitable planet orbiting a star of arbitrary mass relative to a similar planet around a Sun-like star. If recent physical arguments implying that the habitability of planets orbiting low-mass stars is selectively suppressed are correct, we find that planets around solar-type stars may represent the optimal targets.

Maisons et palais de Bosra (iie siècle-viiie siècle apr. J.-C.)
Authors: Piraud-Fournet Pauline 
Published: April 2018

Dès le début du xixe s., l’habitat antique admirablement bien conservé des villages de l’ancienne province romaine d’Arabie (Syrie du Sud et Jordanie) a attiré l’attention des archéologues. L’originalité des solutions architecturales développées dans un environnement contraignant, l’organisation des maisons qui renseigne sur le mode de vie de ses habitants, le lieu de production et de stockage qu’on y reconnaît et qui permet d’appréhender l’économie de cette région, justifient cet intérêt. À Bosra, capitale de cette province, l’urbanisme et l’architecture monumentale ont fait l’objet de nombreuses recherches, et l’étude de l’habitat antique n’a pas été négligée. Nous tentons dans cet article de réunir la documentation qui le concerne. Les vestiges de cet habitat sont ténus, mais ils permettent d’observer que si l’architecture domestique urbaine adopte bien les particularités locales (matériaux et modes de construction, salles à alcôves, salles à auges), on trouve aussi des aménagements qui la distinguent des installations villageoises (salles de réception triconques, bains privés).

Remarques sur le « style linéaire figuré » dans les céramiques du Levant à la fin de l’Âge du Bronze
Authors: Yon Marguerite 
Published: April 2018

Des découvertes récentes en Syrie (Ougarit, Tell Kazel...) amènent à s’interroger de nouveau sur les décors figurés qui ornent certaines productions céramiques dans les derniers siècles du IIe millénaire au Levant, et sur leur descendance à partir du xie s. L’étude des modes de composition, de la technique de dessin, des motifs choisis, donne l’occasion de s’intéresser aux sources d’inspiration des potiers, au fonctionnement des ateliers syriens, aux origines et à la circulation des motifs. Encore une fois est mis en évidence le caractère culturel très cosmopolite du Levant et de Méditerranée orientale, qui éclaire l’élaboration et les procédés des répertoires décoratifs et leur héritage en Syrie du Nord ou à Chypre à la fin du IIe millénaire.
Baking Trays in the Second Millennium bce Levant and Egypt: Form, Function and Cultural Significance
Authors: Zukerman Alexander 
Published: April 2018

Cette étude présente un type de récipients de l’âge du Bronze moyen et récent au Levant : un plateau fait à la main à fond épais et à bords courts, d’habitude identifié comme une plaque de four. Bien que reconnu comme un type distinct, cet élément n’a jamais été discuté en détail. Dans la plupart des rapports de fouilles, les exemples de ce type sont datés du Bronze moyen et présentés de face, à l’endroit ou à l’envers, de sorte que les bords en soient visibles. Cet article propose d’étudier la typologie, la fonction, la distribution géographique, la chronologie et l’origine de ces objets et d’analyser leur proximité avec les récipients semblables trouvés en Égypte et d’en tirer des conclusions sur cette proximité entre l’Égypte et le Levant à l’âge du Bronze moyen.
Has the Janani Suraksha Yojana (A Conditional Maternity Benefit Transfer Scheme) Succeeded in Reducing the Economic Burden of Maternity in Rural India? Evidence from the Varanasi District of Uttar Pradesh
Authors: Mukherjee Saradiya , Singh Aditya 
Published: April 2018

Background One of the constraints in the utilisation of maternal healthcare in India is the out-of-pocket expenditure. To improve the utilisation and to reduce the out-of-pocket expenditure, India launched a cash incentive scheme, Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), which provides monetary incentive to the mothers delivering in public facility. However, no study has yet examined the extent to which the JSY payments reduce the maternal healthcare induced catastrophic out-of-pocket expenditure burden of the households. This paper therefore attempts to examine the extent to which the JSY reduces the catastrophic expenditure estimate household expenditure on maternity, i.e., all direct and indirect expenditure. Materials and methods The study used data on 396 mothers collected through a primary survey conducted in the rural areas of the Varanasi district of Uttar Pradesh state in 2013-2014. The degree and variation in the catastrophic impact of households’ maternity spending was computed as share of out-of-pocket payment in total household income in relation to specific thresholds, across socioeconomic categories. Logistic regression was used to understand the determinants of catastrophic expenditure and whether the JSY has any role in influencing the expenditure pattern. Results Results revealed that the JSY beneficiaries on an average spent about 8.3% of their Annual Household Consumption Expenditure on maternity care. The JSY reimbursement could reduce this share only by 2.1%. The study found that the expenditure on antenatal and postnatal care made up a significant part of the direct medical expenditure on maternity among the JSY beneficiaries. The indirect or non-medical expenditure was about four times higher than the direct expenditure on maternity services. The out-of-pocket expenditure across income quintiles was found to be regressive i.e. the poor paid a greater proportion of their income towards maternity care than the rich. Results also showed that the JSY reimbursement helped only about 8% households to escape from suffering catastrophic burden due to maternity payments. Conclusions It can be concluded that the JSY appeared to have achieved only a limited success in reducing the economic burden due to maternity. To reduce the catastrophic burden, policy makers should consider increasing the JSY reimbursement to cover not only antenatal and postnatal services but also non-medical expenditure due to maternity. The government should also take appropriate measures to curb non-medical or indirect expenditure in public health facilities.

Meaghan Morris in Cultural Studies in Asia
Authors: Beng Huat Chua 
Published: April 2018

Meaghan has been part of the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies project from the very beginning— she was at the founding conferences, organised by Chen Kuan-Hsing, in National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, between 1992 and 1995. The two conferences bore the title of ‘Trajectories: Towards a New Internationalist Cultural Studies’ and ‘Trajectories II: A New Internationalist Cultural Studies’, respectively. According to Kuan-Hsing, he was motivated by historical changes in Asia, from postwar decolonisation to post-Cold War in late 1980s, marked locally in Taiwan with the lifting of martial law in 1987. This was also the period of the rise of Asia within global capitalism, beginning with Japan, followed by the so-called ‘Tiger’ or ‘Dragon’ economies of South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore via the export-oriented industrialisation. The industrialisation model was subsequently picked up by China and the other Southeast Asian countries. The conferences certainly lived up to their promise of being international, with presenters from first and third world locations, and the core concerns were very much grounded in the historical conjuncture of Asia at the end of the twentieth century. One evening during the second conference, while the edited volume for selected papers were being prepared for publication, Rebecca Barton, the editor for the book project at Routledge, brought up the idea of an Asian cultural studies journal. In a hotel room in Taiwan, with Meaghan, the late Jeannie Martin, Kuan-Hsing and myself from the conference and Rebecca, the plan for Inter-Asia Cultural Studies was hatched. It was decided that Kuan-hsing and I would be the co-executive editors, supported by a relatively large editorial collective drawn across Asia and Australia.
Time is a Traveller: The Localness of Meaghan Morris
Authors: Schlunke Katrina 
Published: April 2018

My aural introduction was Peter Allen’s song, ‘Tenterfield Saddler’. And most of you will know that ‘At Henry Parkes Motel’, Meaghan’s famous essay on mobility, comfort, desire and banality, is situated in Tenterfield where Meaghan’s early childhood took place.
The overblowness of this song, the calculated ridiculousness of its nation branding via the melange of Australian animals—kangaroos, emus, cockatoos—all ‘up ahead’, only underscores the poignancy of the public secret of Allen’s homosexuality and his early death through HIV.
The song, as you may have caught, may have felt, includes the heartbreaking camp of the transnational subject: ‘been all around the world and lives no special place’. And the recognition by that subject that the figures of their hometown, the grandfather living on manners, and the grandfather’s son—Peter Allen’s father who took his own life—have no point of belonging, no line of connection, ‘Except in this song’.
If only Peter had read, heard, interacted with Meaghan. Today I would like to salute all the ways Meaghan has made it possible for the queers, swats, smartarses, girls, women, and those of us from the country and from public high schools—to be here. Meaghan has made it possible for us to imagine ourselves as both ‘here’ and ‘there’. And not just in a song.
Effects of egg weight and in ovo injection of &lt;i&gt;α&lt;/i&gt;-tocopherol on chick development, hatching performance, and lipid-soluble antioxidant concentrations in quail chick tissues
Authors: Babacanoğlu Elif , Reşit Karageçili Mehmet , Karadaş Filiz 
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Lipid-soluble antioxidants can be more effective for chick development when provided via in ovo (IO) injection than when supplemented to the maternal diet. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of egg weight (EW) and IO injection of α-tocopherol on chick development, hatching performance and lipid-soluble antioxidant concentrations in residual yolk sac (RYS), liver and brain tissues of quail chicks. Eggs were obtained from quail breeders at days 72 and 128 of age and incubated at 37.8 ∘C and 60 % relative humidity. Each egg was numbered and weighed prior to incubation, and the average EW of all eggs was 11.76 ± 0.05 g. The eggs were divided into light (< 11.76 EW; EWL) and heavy (> 11.76 EW; EWH) groups (148 eggs per EW). Each EW group was divided into two IO groups: the control (non-injection) group and α-tocopherol group, in which 3.75 mg of α-tocopherol per egg was injected into the yolk sac followed by a 120 h incubation period. There were 64 eggs for each EW–IO treatment combination (16 eggs per EW per tray). The chick and RYS weights were significantly lower in the EWL group than in the EWH group. A significant EW by IO interaction suggested that IO increased the eggshell temperature of light quail eggs. The non-injected light eggs had a shorter hatching time due to the interaction of EW with IO. Hatchability, embryonic mortalities, and the cumulative hatching rate were not affected by EW or IO. The chick and middle toe lengths increased following IO administration (P < 0.05), which indicated that IO administration had positive effects on chick quality. However, shank length decreased following IO administration with an unchanged relative asymmetry (RA). IO significantly affected the absolute weights of the liver and heart and the relative weight of the heart, which was lower in the α-tocopherol group than in the control group. IO administration had no effect on total retinol and carotenoid concentrations in the RYS, liver and brain. Vitamin E, α-tocopherol and δ-tocopherol concentrations in the RYS, liver and brain were significantly higher in the α-tocopherol-treated chicks than in the control chicks. The highest brain α-tocopherol concentration was found in the α-tocopherol-treated chicks of the EWH group, indicating a significant interaction between EW and IO. The highest total lipid-soluble antioxidant concentrations were obtained following IO α-tocopherol treatment (P < 0.05), in the order brain < liver < RYS, but this pattern was not observed with δ-tocopherol. In conclusion, IO injection of α-tocopherol into the yolk sac affected the concentrations of tissue-specific lipid-soluble antioxidants in the RYS and tissues of newly hatched quail chicks, and EW had effects on various parameters.
Camp Research: What? So What? What’s Next?
Authors: Henderson Karla A. 
Published: April 2018

This special issue of the Journal of Youth Development provides a means to highlight where camp research is today based on the articles presented. Several common areas are identified: role of theory, addressing social issues, methodological imagination, emerging audiences, samples, linking operations and outcomes research, staff and youth development, moving outcomes from what to how, and thoughtful and intentional implications for practice. Areas that need additional consideration in future camp research and issues that can be addressed by camp professionals include further examining how positive change occurs in camp, noting the value of the transfer of camp experiences to later life, using critical analyses of what camp experiences mean, and examining areas that have been under-researched such as day camps.
Requirements for promoting the transition of aging patients with cognitive and physical disorders to home care: A new case analysis design
Authors: Sasaki Katsutoshi , Torigoshi Chihiro , Kondo Makiko 
Published: April 2018

Objective: This study clarified requirements for transitioning aging patients with cognitive and physical disorders to home care and developed a new mixed methodology using medical records.Background: Japan has the highest proportion and highest rate of increase of older adults worldwide. Transitioning aging patients from hospital to home care is a key strategy to manage this increase; however, this transition presents challenges.Methods: A mixed method study was conducted, using descriptive data from medical records.Results: Of 41 participants, 61% were amicable settlement cases and 39% were non-amicable. In total, 56.1% went home: 36.6% were amicable and 19.5% were non-amicable. Requirements for transition to home care were [Patient’s mental stability], [Necessary care for the patient within the family’s tolerance level], [Decreasing the family’s burden of care by accessing the public care service], [Preparing the family to bear the heavy burden of caring for multiple family members at home], [Decreasing the risk of worsening condition through patient compliance], and [Setting realistic goals and reconciling them with the family].Conclusions: The transition requirements related to cognitive disorders, gaps in physical functioning before and after hospitalization, and aging society. They were fulfilled through concrete preparation of the family for coping with home care, with the patient’s mental stability as a precondition.Relevance to clinical practice: Fulfillment of these requirements is essential for successful transition to home care for aging persons with multiple disorders. Our original mixed method design promotes a new methodology for qualitative research using descriptive data from medical records.
The Expression of Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Gene and Its Activity in Patients with B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Its Impact on Clinical Staging
Authors: Aljabban Ali , Alalsaidissa Jaffar 
Published: April 2018

BACKGROUND: The B-Cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a commonest leukemia in elderly individuals characterized by progressive accumulation of mature lymphocyte in bone marrow and peripheral blood that tend to be immortal. The identification of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) has been correlated with disease aggressiveness in malignancies. The previous researchers showed that the hTERT expression could serve as a molecular prognostic marker for B-CLL patients. However, due to the disease differences in prevalence and aggressiveness between the western and eastern countries, there is still a need to see the correlation of hTERT in B-CLL patients of the eastern world.AIM: To test the quantitative assessment of hTERT gene expression in B-CLL patients and its prognostic value in correlation with clinical staging of disease in Iraqi patients.PATIENTS & METHODS: we used the TRAP assay to assess the hTERT gene expression in mononuclear blood cells from 43 B-CLL patients.RESULTS: The hTERT gene expression was detected in 79.1% of B-CLL patients and no positive expression in control group (P=0.001). The hTERT gene expression tends to be significantly higher in advanced B-CLL stage (P=0.0001). Also, the expression was higher among elderly patients, patients with lower hematological parameters, patients with splenomegaly or hepatomegaly, patients with a history of hypertension or diabetes mellitus, and patients with high immunophenotype score. CONCLUSION: Our research suggests that the hTERT expression could serve as a prognostic marker for Iraqi patients with B-CLL as well as western countries.

Published: April 2018

In the present work, using the hadron clustering algorithm, we have determined the mass of π0 mesons with excellent accuracy by restoring data of the neutral particles which are produced in the collisions of carbons and propane. It has observed that the value of cut parameter for the clustering depends on the primary energies. We have studied hadron cluster’s and its particle multiplicities, longitudinal rapidity, transverse momentum and the temperature feature of cluster decay. In the central region of the interaction, there is a cluster with high temperature produced by the collision process.

Abstract
A ready-made dry medium method for Staphylococcus aureus count, the Medi·Ca SA method incubated at 35 or 37°C, was compared with the Baird-Parker method (AOAC Official MethodSM975.55) for 11 food matrices: raw beef, raw ground beef, raw lamb, cooked ham, raw salmon, frozen prawn, fresh chilled pasta, pasteurized milk, natural cheese, cream puff, and potato salad. The mean difference between the two methods at each contamination level for each matrix was &lt;0.5 log10, and the 95% confidence intervals on the mean differences fell within the range of −0.50 to 0.50. Standard deviation of repeatability and RSDr values of the Medi·Ca SA method were generally the same level as those of the Baird-Parker method, and r2 ranged from 0.98 to 1.00. Product consistency and stability studies showed little variability between productions lots and a shelf-life of 16 months. Incubation time within the range of 22–26 h and variations to the sample volume did not adversely affect the results. These results showed that the Medi·Ca SA method is a reasonable alternative to the reference method for selected food matrices and makes it possible to simultaneously detect and enumerate S. aureus in only 24�h.
