Serving style preferences for various meal arrangements among children
Authors: Nielson S. E. , Skouw S. , Olsen A. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractServing styles of meals are important for children's acceptance, but few studies have investigated how children prefer to have their meals served. The aim of this study was to investigate children's preferred serving styles of typical dinner meals in younger and older children. A total of 100 school children aged 7–8‐years and 12–14‐years old preference‐ranked six different dinner meals presented with the various food items arranged on the plate as either separated, in‐between (some mixing, some separation), or mixed serving style using pictorial stimuli. They also scored their liking of each meal on a 7‐point smiley scale. Younger girls significantly preferred a separated serving style (p ≤ .001), while no specific serving style was preferred among younger boys. Older children significantly preferred in‐between serving style (p ≤ .001) and mixed serving style (p ≤ .01) over separated serving style, but no gender differences were found between the older children.Practical applicationsAs specific serving style preferences are seen in some children this knowledge could be incorporated into the preparation of daily meals for families and institutions alike. Serving meals and foods in a separated serving style could be a way of allowing the child to control the degree of possible subsequent mixing of the food items on the plate according to their individual, personal preferences. In contrast, serving a child a meal constituted by mixed food items limit the possibility of separating the elements afterward. This knowledge may optimize areas of the food industry, for example, in the context of ready‐to‐eat lunches brought to the children at school. Using serving styles with division of the food either into more rooms or by simply separating the placement of food items on the plate may allow children to adopt the serving style in accordance with their personal preferences, which may increase acceptance of the meal.
Unit Root Testing in Multiple Smooth Break Models with Nonlinear Dynamics
Authors: Sandberg Rickard 
Published: August 2018

This work builds a flexible model accommodating nonlinear dynamics around a trend function with multiple (up to m) gradual shifts. Such a model is suitable for capturing the behavior of many post World War II economic time‐series subject to the onset of external causes such as oil crises, financial crises, technology changes and regulatory changes. Deriving unit root tests in this nonlinear model is of particular interest. In fact, the options of a general trend specification and nonlinear dynamics are critical to remedy unit root tests not being biased toward a non‐rejection of a unit root hypothesis and prevents the first‐differences of a series from being used too often. An asymptotic theory for the unit root tests is also established. The unit root tests are applied to G7 industrial production series, and evidence in favor of nonlinear trend ‘stationary’ models is found in a majority of the cases. The merits of the new model are further demonstrated in an estimation exercise for the US industrial production series, and evidence of four gradual shifts in the trend, different growth patterns for different periods, and business cycle asymmetries is found.
Lightning Rods, Earthquakes, and Regional Identities: Towards a Multi‐Scale Framework of Assessing Fracking Risk Perception
Authors: Pollard James A. , Rose David C. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractHydraulic fracturing has provided a persistent, polarizing, and highly politicized source of controversy internationally and in numerous national contexts for just under a decade. This research uses hydraulic fracturing (i.e., fracking) operations in New Zealand as a vignette through which to understand the underlying causes of controversy and the appropriateness of attempts to address them. A multi‐method approach using interviews (n = 25), diagrammatic analysis, and newsprint media was applied to evidence two major findings. First, previous attempts to explain fracking controversy based on social constructivist theory lack a multi‐scalar approach to the assessment of factors that influence risk perceptions. It is found that risk perception surrounding fracking in New Zealand reflects intra‐scalar interactions between factors originating at the international, national, regional, and local scale. Second, there is a concerning absence of critique pertaining to the concept of “social license to operate” (SLO), which has been advocated both internationally and nationally as an appropriate form of stakeholder engagement. This article contributes to the SLO outcomes literature by establishing a need to consider multi‐scalar influences on risk perception when explaining diverse SLO outcomes in communities where fracking operations are prospective or already taking place.

Authors: Cain Christine L. , Cole Stephen D. , Bradley II Charles W. , Canfield Michael S. , Mauldin Elizabeth A. 
Published: August 2018

BackgroundThe Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is an emerging cause of opportunistic infections. Deep pyoderma associated with Bcc infection has been reported previously in dogs receiving ciclosporin.ObjectiveTo report the clinical and histopathological features of four additional cases of Bcc dermatitis in dogs, one of which progressed to septicaemia.AnimalsFour dogs with a skin culture yielding growth of Bcc and skin biopsies for histopathological investigation.Methods and materialsRetrospective review of medical records and skin biopsies and PCR for Burkholderia on DNA extracted from paraffin‐embedded skin and liver to confirm Bcc sepsis.ResultsThree different breeds and one mixed breed dog were represented. Two dogs were receiving ciclosporin and one was receiving oclacitinib. One dog had no evidence of immunosuppression. One dog was bathed two days prior to onset of skin lesions. Three dogs presented with dorsally orientated ulcers, crusts and draining tracts; one dog had infection localized to a surgical site. The main histological feature from skin biopsies was severe neutrophilic folliculitis and furunculosis with marked neutrophilic to pyogranulomatous dermatitis. Intracellular Gram‐negative and Warthin–Starry positive rods were present in three of four cases. Three dogs were successfully treated with systemic fluoroquinolones or trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole. The Bcc isolate in one dog was resistant to all tested systemic antimicrobials. This dog developed septicaemia and was euthanized.Conclusions and clinical importanceBcc skin infections can occur in immunocompetent and immunocompromised dogs. Bcc isolates may be extensively antimicrobial resistant, presenting a challenge for clinical management. Cutaneous infection may progress to life‐threatening sepsis.
Apoptosis propagates through the cytoplasm as trigger waves
Authors: Cheng Xianrui , Ferrell James E. 
Published: August 2018

Visualizing a traveling wave of cell death
When diffusion is too slow for communication over long distances, cells can use waves of chemical activity. By using fluorescent probes and microscopy, Cheng and Ferrell show that in frog eggs (which are very large cells), waves of apoptotic signals can be seen passing through the egg cytoplasm. The pathways that trigger cell death have positive feedback loops that lead to self-regenerating waves. The speed of the waves (∼30 micrometers per minute) is too fast to be explained by diffusion.

Dietary Motivations and Challenges among Animal Rights Advocates in Spain
Authors: Fiestas-Flores Jerico , Pyhälä Aili 
Published: August 2018

AbstractDietary changes towards veganism offer a solution to tackling not only unethical nonhuman animal exploitation but also to minimizing several environmental and health problems faced worldwide. This research examines what challenges and characteristics are associated with dietary choices among animal rights advocates (ARA) in Spain. The characteristics we test for include (a) general environmental and health awareness, (b) commitment to the animal rights movement, and (c) perceptions of animal emotions. From a sample of 235ARA, our results showed that the challenges related to diet vary largely across different diet types, with the most common among vegans being a perceived lack of societal support, whereas for omnivores, the taste of animal-based products. On average, veganARAwere found to hold both the highest levels of environmental awareness and commitment to the animal rights movement, while omnivores were least likely to draw similarities between nonhuman animal and human emotions.
The Effects of a Compression Garment on Lower Body Kinematics and Kinetics During a Drop Vertical Jump in Female Collegiate Athletes
Authors: Zamporri Jacobo , Aguinaldo Arnel 
Published: August 2018

Background: The use of compression garments has spread rapidly among athletes, largely because of marketing and perceived benefits. Upon review, it is unclear whether compression garments have a significant effect on performance and recovery, although they have been found to enhance proprioception. Further, it is reported that compression of the knee joint improves both dynamic and static balance. However, there is currently a paucity of data demonstrating the effects of compression garments on the biomechanical risk factors of knee-related injuries in female athletes. Purpose: To evaluate the ability of a directional compression garment to alter hip and knee kinematics and kinetics during a drop vertical jump (DVJ) in healthy college-aged female athletes. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A sample of 23 healthy female collegiate athletes (mean age, 19.6 ± 1.3 years) participating in jumping sports (volleyball, basketball, and soccer) was included in this analysis. Each athlete performed 2 sets of 3 DVJs with and without a directional compression garment. Three-dimensional hip and knee kinematics and kinetics were collected using a standard Helen-Hayes 29-marker set, which was removed and reapplied after the garment was fitted, as well as 8 visible-red cameras and 2 force platforms. Each participant was tested in a single session. Results: Hip abduction range of motion was significantly reduced from 12.6° ± 5.5° to 10.2° ± 4.6° ( P = .002) while performing DVJs without and with the compression garment, respectively. No statistically significant differences between conditions were found in peak hip abduction, knee valgus range of motion, peak valgus, peak hip abduction moment, and peak knee valgus moment. Conclusion: The results of this study show that wearing compression garments does have minimal effects on lower body mechanics during landing from a DVJ, partially supporting the idea that compression garments could acutely alter movement patterns associated with the knee injury risk. However, further research should focus on muscle activation patterns and adaptations over time. Clinical Relevance: The use of specifically designed compression garments could aid in the prevention of knee injuries by inducing changes in jumping mechanics.

Published: August 2018

O artigo analisa as formulações de Herbert Marcuse acerca das mobilizações e dos movimentos sociais nos anos 1960. Após uma breve apresentação de sua biografia político-intelectual, que cruza aspectos institucionais e militantes naqueles anos, nos concentramos em três possíveis entradas à sua obra, enfatizando elementos contidos em três de seus escritos mais relevantes no período: O homem unidimensional, Um ensaio sobre a libertação e Contra-revolução e revolta. Do primeiro escrito, destacaremos o diagnóstico pessimista de Marcuse sobre a supremacia da “racionalidade tecnológica” como “ideologia” hegemônica do capitalismo avançado; do segundo, as novas forças subjetivas de “oposição” surgidas a partir da mudança nos ritmos e formas das mobilizações sociais internacionais nos anos 1960 e, por fim, no terceiro, uma análise das forças de reação que se impuseram a estes movimentos.Palavras-Chave: Marcuse; capitalismo avançado; nova esquerda; juventude.

From the first writing, we will highlight Marcuse's pessimistic diagnosis of the supremacy of “technological rationality” as the hegemonic “ideology” of advanced capitalism; of the second, the new subjective forces of “opposition” arising from the change in the rhythms and forms of international social mobilizations in the 1960s; and finally, in the third, an analysis of the forces of reaction that have been imposed on these movements.Keywords: Herbert Marcuse; advanced capitalism; new left; youth.
Impactos socioeconômicos do reassentamento de famílias pelo Promaben em Belém (PA) | Socioeconomic impact of families’ resettlement by Promaben in Belém, Pará
Authors: Oliveira Aricarla Batista de , Santana Joana Valente 
Published: August 2018

Este estudo analisa os impactos socioeconômicos na vida das famílias reassentadas no Residencial Antônio Vinagre pelo Programa de Saneamento da Bacia da Estrada Nova (Promaben), na cidade de Belém (PA). Com base no método dialético, a pesquisa contou com levantamento bibliográfico e documental, além de pesquisa de campo, a qual investigou 52 moradores reassentados para o referido residencial, correspondendo a 49,52% do total de famílias reassentadas. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para a desarticulação nas estratégias de sobrevivência dos moradores, expressas nas variáveis:aumento de taxas de energia e água, aumento do custo de vidae perda das atividades de trabalho. Oreassentamento não alterou a condição de subalternidade do morador trabalhador, pois apenas a alteração do lugar de moradia dos trabalhadores não modifica sua condição de sobrevivência enquanto classe trabalhadora. Palavras-Chave: reassentamento de famílias; impactos socioeconômicos; desarticulação das estratégias de sobrevivência; Promaben. Abstract– This study analyzes the socioeconomic impacts on the lives of families resettled at the Residencial Antônio Vinagre by the Estrada Nova River Basin Sanitation Program (Promaben), in the city of Belém, Pará. Based on the dialectical method, the research had a bibliographical and documentary survey, as well as field research, which investigated 52 residents resettled to the referred residential area, corresponding to 49.52% of the total resettled families. The results of the research point to the disarticulation in the survival strategies of the residents, expressed in the following variables: increase of power and water rates, increase in the cost of living, and loss of work activities. Resettlement did not change the status of subalternity of the working dweller, since only the change in the place of residence of workers does not modify their condition of survival as a working class.

Hisab Hakiki Model Muhammad Wardan: Sebuah Penelusuran Awal
Authors: Azhari Susiknan 
Published: August 2018

This article tries to study about calculation (ḥisāb) model developed by Muhammad Wardan to formulate a National Hijriyah Calendar. Muhammad Wardan is one of the designer of the concept of wujūdul hilāl. This concept was built by combining normative and empirical level (middle way) between the system of hisab ijtima' qabla al-ghurūb and imkān al-ru'yah. This combination was also named as middle way between pure hisab and pure rukyat. Due to this type of concept, be renewal thought of Mubammad Wardan to decide the beginning of Qamariyah month was quite original at that time. Therefore, Wardan's theory of wujudūl hilāl is still used until nowadays especially by Muhammadiyah people. However, it is significant to note that the thought of Wardan does not perfectly answer the problem of National Hijriyah Calendar, I.e., to decide the Westest and Eastest points of a region or country to start or end the month of Ramadlan.

Published: August 2018

Background: Dying is a normal human phenomenon that requires a holistic care approach. Nurses’ attitudes towards the care for dying patients need to be explored, understood, and analyzed to improve the quality of care in palliative setting, including in nursing students.Purpose: This study explored the nursing students’ attitude and its relationship with the students’ demographic profile in caring for the dying patients in Indonesia.Methods: This study used a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional research design. The samples were 192 nursing students from Universitas Jember, Indonesia, who were recruited by using simple random sampling. Data were collected using the Frommelt Attitudes towards the Care of the Dying Care Form B Indonesian version (FATCOD-BI). The reliability test of FATCOD-BI showed a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.68, and the result of validity test using correlation coefficient showed the range of -0.278 to 0.544. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution, and mean differences test using t-test and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).Results: Results showed that the mean of nursing students’ attitudes in caring for dying patients was 93.83±5.96 (range 30-120). Gender and training experiences had no relationship with students’ attitudes in caring for dying patients (p=0.22 and p=0.943). There was a relationship between the experiences and student academic level and the students’ attitudes in caring for dying patients (p=0.023 and p=0.036). The students’ experiences and academic level become a primary factor in the attitudes toward caring for dying patients.Conclusion: Findings revealed that student nurses’ attitudes in caring for dying patients was in low category and there was no significant relationship between gender and training experience and students’ attitudes towards caring for the dying patients. In contrast, experiences in caring for dying patients and academic level were associated with students’ attitudes. Further studies in the development of curriculum on dying patient care emphasizing on socio-demographic status are recommended.

Abstract
Poly(lactic acid)/chitosan (PLA/CS) green nanoparticles containing hydroquinine (Hq) were prepared by emulsion method. The content of Hq was 10–50 wt% compared with the weight total of PLA and CS. The characteristics of these nanoparticles were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and particle size analysis. The wavenumbers of C=O, C=N, OH, and CH3 groups in FTIR spectra of the PLA/CS/Hq (PCHq) nanoparticles shifted in comparision with neat PLA, CS, and Hq that proved the interaction between these components. The FESEM images and particle size analysis results showed that the basic particle size of PCHq nanoparticles ranged between 100 and 200 nm. The Hq released from PLA/CS nanoparticles in pH 2 and pH 7.4 solutions was determined by ultraviolet-visible method. The obtained results indicated that the linear regression coefficient of calibration equation of Hq in the above solutions approximates 1. The Hq release from the PCHq nanoparticles includes fast release for the eight first testing hours, and then, controlled slow release. The Hq released process was obeyed according to the Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic model.
