Animation as mindful practice
Authors: Barton Graham , Hosea Birgitta 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This article reports on a joint research project at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London and the Royal College of Art that investigates whether the making of drawn animation can be demonstrated as a mindful practice. The original intention of the project was to explore the potential application of Buddhist principles and practices such as mindfulness within a practical, secular context to benefit art and design students who experience stress in the learning environment and who wish to examine their learning processes more closely. This research project is situated within wider developments in UK higher education that seek to enable students to engage meaningfully with the affective and extra-rational dimensions of learning. Faced with a complex and uncertain future, and curricula that encourage engagement in uncertainty and ambiguity, art and design graduates need to be able to take responsibility for their personal development and respond to stress and change in generative and constructive ways. During the research process, a series of experiential activities and workshops were devised to explore the development of a group of capacities identified in a number of published sustainability literacy frameworks, in particular the attributes of personal resilience, self-awareness and interconnectedness through systemic and relational thinking and making. The project looks at the potential of the processes of drawn animation in combination with short-form mindfulness meditation techniques for developing these and associated attributes.

Abstract
Children’s Health State Preferences Learnt from Animation (CHILDSPLA) is an innovative, multidisciplinary collaboration between the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal College of Art, London. The team came together to develop an animated iPad app aiming to measure the health states of children, designed to gather key data directly from them rather than through a parent or carer. Successful development of a child-friendly method for collecting health information directly from children would add considerably to the ability to measure outcomes and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments. It was expected that the app would allow children as young as 4 years old to express their views, not only because it required lower literacy competencies but also because it would be more engaging. For example, the app was designed to ask the child, ‘on a scale of 1–5 how much pain are you in today?’ but, rather than text or voice, the app showed animated representations of pain, sleeplessness and annoyance, etc. Children were involved from the outset in the design of the character and the animation performances., The style of the animation needed to be tested by the young target users to observe their responses to different styles of animated performance. Some children observed that some animation characters were acting in an exaggerated way, for comic effect, and this distanced them from empathizing with the expressed emotion, as it was not seen as genuine. This led the animator to steer away from broad and exaggerated animation in order to chase engagement and stay closer to subtler, more naturalistic performances.
The animated prototype app was tested by both sick and healthy children against other forms of gathering data. The CHILDSPLA team discussed and reflected on the challenges and knowledge emerging during the first year of the Medical Research Council-funded project.
‘Loved and lost’: Animation as a methodology for understanding and making meaning of loss for a group of adults with learning disabilities
Authors: Eckersley Yvonne 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This article relates to the professional doctorate work of Yvonne Eckersley relating to an exploration of loss via the medium of animation with members of Wrexham Voice (a self-advocacy group for adults with learning disabilities). The aim of the study is to define loss for the group members and evaluate whether participating in the animation process can change this perception and facilitate well-being. The study uses a general inductive methodology that is ethnographic. The study has three main objectives:
1. The first objective is to identify a shared understanding (between group members) of the phenomena of loss.
2. The second objective is to assess whether by exploring loss through the various processes involved in the production of an animated film changes the participants.
3. The final objective is to evaluate the potential for agency that the completed animation film offers the participants and whether this affects their perception of loss.
In identifying the first objective, the depth of social and political oppression felt by people with learning disabilities soon becomes evident. Not only do they often find themselves excluded from the rituals surrounding death but often their lack of communication skills mean that their emotional distress goes unrecognized with feelings of sadness and loneliness being viewed only in terms of changes in their behaviour, which may be described as aggressive or passive by carers and professionals and not necessarily attributed to their grief. In view of the wide variation in the perceptions of and communication styles of the group members, the potential of visual and art-based methods in offering a means to communicate with others and express emotions associated with loss is key to the study. In this context, the study seeks to evaluate the unique role of animation as a healing methodology.
Speaking each other’s language: The development of an animation prototype with the intention to toggle the language barrier among children of the Greek and the Turkish Cypriot community
Authors: Christophini Myria 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This article describes the design process of a test animation prototype that aims to improve communication among children of the two conflicting communities in Cyprus by encouraging them to learn each other’s language. The prototype is based on research undergone with the conflicting parties, where their perception of the conflict and on each other was addressed and researched. In essence, it is discussing the project’s reception by a Cypriot audience and is encouraging further work and research to be conducted as part of a reconciliation process on the island, and on the potential of the medium of animation for the purpose of peace-building.
Die Pfadabhängigkeit digitalisierter Industriearbeit
Authors: Hirsch-Kreinsen Hartmut 
Published: November 2018

Zusammenfassung
Ausgangspunkt des vorliegenden Artikels ist die vorherrschende Auffassung im Digitalisierungsdiskurs, dass gegenwärtig ein ausgesprochener Technologieschub mit disruptiven Folgen für Arbeit stattfindet. Im Beitrag wird jedoch argumentiert, dass ein disruptiver und Strukturen verändernder Wandel keinesfalls in allen Wirtschaftssektoren und Arbeitssegmenten anzutreffen ist. Es wird die These vertreten, dass sich mit der Digitalisierung von Arbeit im industriellen Sektor ein ausgeprägt pfadabhängiger Wandel von Arbeit verbindet. Gezeigt wird empirisch, dass sich Pfadabhängigkeit an nur inkrementellen Digitalisierungsmaßnahmen in den meisten Betrieben und einem damit verbundenen strukturkonservativen Wandel von Arbeit festmachen lässt. Zur Erklärung dieser Befunde wird auf konzeptionelle Überlegungen zur organisatorischen Pfadabhängigkeit zurückgegriffen, die besonders den Mechanismus selbstverstärkender „increasing returns“ betonen. Allerdings werden damit Möglichkeiten eines grundlegenden Wandels nicht ausgeschlossen. Daher werden abschließend die Bedingungen eines längerfristigen Wandels von Arbeit diskutiert.
Spatial categories in Aquilan
Authors: Ursini Francesco , Long Haiping 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe goal of this paper is to offer an overview of the grammatical and lexical properties of spatial categories in Aquilan, an Italian dialect. The paper shows that spatial prepositions (e.g.a‘at/to’,‘nfronte a‘in front of’), pronouns and indexicals (e.g.pe‘nfrontelit. ‘to in front (of a place)’,loc’arrete‘there behind’, respectively) share two key properties. The first, a lexical property, is their ability to refer to the location of discourse referent, whence the “spatial” label. The second, a grammatical property, is their similar distribution in sentences and discourse contexts. The paper thoroughly presents these Aquilan data and sketches, as a theoretical analysis that connects these categories into a unified account.
Polish dialectal wild herbaceous plant names against a Slavic and European background
Authors: Waniakowa Jadwiga 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe argument put forward in the present article is that many Polish dialectal plant names do not have folk roots. The only way to ascertain the true origin of a given name is by analysing the history of the dialectal name and related names in other languages. Such an analysis leads to the conclusion that Polish dialectal names have various origins. Some of them are truly dialectal, i.e. they originate from Polish dialects, while others are colloquial, non-dialectal native names that have been adapted by particular dialects. Yet others are relatively new loanwords and new calques, while another group originates from Old Polish forms no longer in use in non-dialectal Polish. The latter do not comprise a homogeneous category. Instead, they fall into three subcategories: Polish names originating from the Polish language or inherited from Old Slavic, old loanwords employed in Old Polish and no longer in use today except in Polish dialects, and finally, an often misclassified group of names comprising old calques. In the summary of the present study the author emphasises the importance of a diachronic and comparative approach to analysing dialectal plant names. She highlights the existence of numerous calques, especially old ones, whose presence had previously been overlooked due to their native and sometimes almost entirely dialectal character. Therefore, a superficial, synchronic analysis would not reveal their long and rich history or the fact that they also have counterparts in non-Slavic languages, indeed often have ancient roots.
Dialectal speech of youth as a part of their personal and national identity
Authors: Jontes Melita Zemljak , Pulko Simona 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The article presents the research findings on the use of various social varieties of the Slovenian language, i. e. Standard and Non–standard language, by the students studying Slovenian language and literature in Maribor. A brief introduction is followed by a description of language culture and its efforts to improve the subject matter and the importance of the norm in a language with rich social language varieties use.
The research indicates the largely positive attitude of young people to the use of their own dialect in different language situations thus shifting the society’s traditionally negative attitude towards the use of dialectal language, perceiving it as a value and as an indicator of one’s personal and national identity. General dialectal characteristics are distinguished in non-formal communication and the informants' switching between the Standard language and the dialect in non-formal communication is a rare occurance, showing that the environment of schooling and the field of study are not prevailing influence factors in choosing a specific social language variety.
‚Störende‘ und ‚gestörte‘ Tänze – Zyklizität und zentrierte Wahrnehmung als Bausteine einer impliziten Poetik des Tanzens in der deutschen Literatur des Mittelalters
Authors: Abel Stefan 
Published: November 2018

AbstractA vernacular fifteenth-century sermon tells us, in order to warn of the threats to spiritual welfare posed by dance, that cyclic motion and centering of sensory impressions – amongst them intimate conversation – are essential elements of dance. When blending out the parenesis, implicit poetics of medieval dance can be distilled from that sermon. The way how these essential elements of dance are used for generating disruptions within literary plots will be demonstrated in three literary texts dating from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century: Disruptions in connection with dance occur when contrary concepts of motion clash with each other, for example the linearity of the chivalrous way through the Other World with the cyclicity of round dances (‚Prosa-Lancelot‘). ‚Der Württemberger‘, however, collides two contrary concepts of time which can be paraphrased as spatial metaphors, namely the linearity of earthly life which collides with the cyclicity of eternal damnation, a collision symbolized by the expulsion of life out of the dance of the death. Finally in ‚Ritter Sociabilis‘, dance generates a virtual space which subverts the courtly society. The protagonists of all these texts differently manage to resolve disruptions, namely by redemption, by repentance, or by continuing disruptions which they have caused themselves.

Abstract: Paediatric organ transplantation today is considered and accepted and widely available therapy in children with end-stage organ failure. It is important to know that in childhood, diseases leading to end-stage organ failure differ from those in adults. Beside this, in children there are different surgical and paediatric challenges before and after transplantation (size differences of the patient and donor organ, special and paediatric infections, different pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of immunosuppressive drugs, noncompliance). However, paediatric organ transplantation in the last decades became a success story of the Hungarian health care owing to several working groups in Hungary and outside the country.

Published: November 2018

Abstract: The transplantation of the abdominal organs has a major role in the treatment of several diseases. All subspecialities affected with the transplantation showed a rapid development in the last decades. The cooperation of the specialists of different segments of medicine provides the success of organ transplantation. Teamwork is necessary throughout the whole process starting from securing the technical background and proper human workforce, followed by the lifelong management of organs and recipients as well. One of the key players of organ transplantation is radiology and interventional radiology – the role of the latter one is discussed in this review, including the minimally invasive treatment of pre- and post-transplantation situations and diseases. Besides vascular and non-vascular interventions, the options of interventional oncology will be mentioned based on international literature and Hungarian experience.

Abstract: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is one of the factors affecting the long-term graft survival after kidney transplantation (KT). Two kidney transplant centres (University of Debrecen and University of Pécs) followed up their data of cadaveric KTs that had been performed between 2013 and 2017, and reviewed the literature. There were 454 KTs in the mentioned period, 18 cases (4%) were recognised as ABMRs. Biopsy has been performed in all cases. 22% were primary, and 78% retransplanted patients. The average age was 51.2 ± 6 years. ABMR occurred 15.4 ± 22.1 months after KT. Histology showed C4d positivity in 39% of the cases. The treatment was steroid bolus + intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) + plasma exchange (PE) in 16 cases, rituximab was additionally given in 5 cases. 47.4% of the patients are alive with a functioning graft, four (21%) died, and 31% of the patients had a graft loss due to ABMR. ABMR is a dangerous complication after KT. Diagnostic criteria has been unclear for years. Gold standard is the histology, however, accelerated ABMR may occur even in C4d negative cases. The exposed group includes young, retransplanted patients, having a preformed donor-specific antibody (DSA), and receiving a graft from an EC donor. The occurrence of de novo DSA and the kinetics of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of existing ones can be a signal for the risk of an ABMR. The effectiveness of rituximab is not proven, there is a lack of long-term controlled trials for new drugs. Our results of over 40% recovery is an extensively good result.

The Use of Mobile Technology in Learning English Language
Authors: Mobinizad Mohammad Mahdi 
Published: November 2018

The mobile phone is present everywhere nowadays and the advent of this technology is transforming the way we communicate and interact with other people as it is considered an integral part of anyone’s social life. Recently, this technology has made its way to the educational environments across the globe as a way of learning languages instead of the traditional language learning methods which were tedious and had a monotonous nature for the rising generation. More and more English language apps are being developed, made and posted on AppStore™ or GooglePlay™ that can be accessed via the language learners and even English language teachers as well as other educational authorities to be used in the English language classes. Some of these apps are the mobile version of those websites that provide English learning materials for the students as well as other language learners. The said websites have gone one step ahead and have developed separate student edition as well as teacher edition that have caused the English language learning world to undergo massive changes. In this paper, we discuss the mobile-based language learning versus the traditional-based language learning in English language classes.

A search for the in trans role of GraL, an Escherichia coli small RNA*
Authors: Dylewski Maciej , Ćwiklińska Monika , Potrykus Katarzyna 
Published: November 2018

Small RNA are very important post-transcriptional regulators in both, bacteria and eukaryotes. One of such sRNA is GraL, encoded in the greA leader region and conserved among enteric bacteria. Here, we conducted a bioinformatics search for GraL’s targets in trans and validated our findings in vivo by constructing fusions of probable targets with lacZ and measuring their activity when GraL was overexpressed. Only one target's activity (nudE) decreased under those conditions and was thus selected for further analysis. In the absence of GraL and greA, the nudE::lacZ fusion's β-galactosidase activity was increased. However, a similar effect was also visible in the strain deleted only for greA. Furthermore, overproduction of GreA alone increased the nudE::lacZ fusion’s activity as well. This suggests existence of complex regulatory loop-like interactions between GreA, GraL and nudE mRNA. To further dissect this relationship, we performed in vitro EMSA experiments employing GraL and nudE mRNA. However, stable GraL-nudE complexes were not detected, even though the detectable amount of unbound GraL decreased as increasing amounts of nudE mRNA were added. Interestingly, GraL is being bound by Hfq, but nudE easily displaces it. We also conducted a search for genes that are synthetic lethal when deleted along with GraL. This revealed 40 genes that are rendered essential by GraL deletion, however, they are involved in many different cellular processes and no clear correlation was found. The obtained data suggest that GraL's mechanism of action is non-canonical, unique and requires further research.

Published: November 2018

In the present study, a new of 1,3,4-oxadizole derivatives(4a1,4a2,4b1,4b2) were synthesized using an ultrasonic technique.
Benzohydrazine and its substituted (2a, 2b) were obtained from the reaction of hydrazin with benzoylchloride and its substituted (1a, 1b). Compounds (2a, 2b) react with chloroacetic acid to form compounds (3a,3b) which react with p-phenylene diamine and hydrazine in presence of DMSO as a solvent to obtain new compounds (4a1,4a2, 4b1,4b2) by ultrasonic technique. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by spectral data: infrared spectra (FT-IR) and 1HNMR and CHN analysis. The synthesis compounds (4b1, 4b2, 4a1, and 4a2) were evaluated for antibacterial (Staphylococcus1 aureus) by the serial dilution method
