Published: May 2019

Background Literature has consistently shown a positive relationship between young adults’ social media alcohol-related posts and drinking outcomes; however, the reasons for this association and the psychosocial influences behind students’ posting of alcohol-related content are still unclear. Peer influences have been robustly shown to predict students’ drinking such that students’ perceptions of their friends’ drinking is positively associated with their own drinking. Objective Although research has demonstrated that online and offline peer influences are robust predictors of drinking among college students, perceptions of friends’ approval and students’ drinking in relation to alcohol-related posting have yet to be explored longitudinally. Methods The current multi-site, multi-method study examined students ( N=316; 58.7% female) from a Midwest (58.8%) and Northwest university over a 4-year period. All Facebook alcohol-related posts were coded each academic calendar year and perceived friends’ approval of drinking and students’ alcohol use were assessed annually. A lagged, random coefficients negative binomial model was specified to examine between- and within-person effects. Results After controlling for perceptions of friends’ alcohol-related posts, results revealed that time, drinking more, and perceiving friends as more approving of drinking were significantly and positively associated with posting alcohol-related content at the between-person level. Moreover, a significant interaction of Time X Drinking, with drinking at the between-person level, emerged such that heavier drinkers tended to post less often over time. Conclusions Increases in alcohol-related content posts are likely to over-inflate students’ drinking norms and their drinking. Thus, it is plausible that social media networks containing more alcohol-related content may contribute to cyclical increases in drinking for individuals within that network.
Sexual molestation of males: Associations with psychological disturbance
Authors: King Michael , Coxell Adrian , Mezey Gillian 
Published: May 2019

BackgroundThere are no epidemiological data in Europe on associations between sexual molestation in males and psychological disturbance.AimsTo investigate whether sexual molestation in males is a significant predictor of psychological disturbance.MethodWe recruited men attending general practice and genitourinary medicine services. Participants took part in a computerised interview about sexual molestation as children or adults. We ranked reported sexual experiences into three categories of decreasing severity. Each category was treated as an independent predictor in a multivariate analysis predicting different types of psychological disturbance.ResultsMen who reported child sexual abuse were more likely to report any type of psychological disturbance. Men who reported sexual molestation in adulthood were 1.7 (1.0–2.8) times more likely to have experienced a psychological disorder, but self-harm was the single most likely problem to occur (odds ratio⩵2.6, range⩵l.3–5.2). Men reporting ‘consenting’ sexual experiences when aged under 16 years also were more likely to report acts of self-harm (odds ratio⩵l.7, range⩵0–2.8).ConclusionsSexual abuse as a child or adult is associated with later psychological problems. All forms of sexual molestation were predictive of deliberate self-harming behaviour in men.

Authors: Tariq Saba , Baig Mukhtiar , Tariq Sundus , Shahzad Muhammad 
Published: May 2019

Background & Objective: The “silent thief” of bone osteoporosis is associated with various modifiable factors, identifying these factors is important in decreasing the prevalence of this highly prevalent disease. Therefore, this study was planned to identify these risk factors for osteoporosis in premenopausal and postmenopausal Pakistani women.
Methods: A total of 1205 pre and postmenopausal females between the age of 20 to 80 years were selected. Detailed history about the socio-demographic characteristics including age, education, profession, marital and resident status was recorded. Medical and gynecological history was also taken after informed consent Bone health of females was assessed using calcaneal ultrasound bone densitometer. SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze data.
Results: Univariate analysis showed that age (30-39 yrs, and 60-69 yrs), occupation (housewives) and education (secondary and primary education, illiterate) were significantly associated with low bone mass density (LBMD). Multivariate analysis showed that age 30-39 years (OR=0.25 95%CI 0.13 – 0.49), age 40-49 years (OR=0.30 95%CI 0.15 – 0.59), age 50-59 years (OR=0.42 95%CI 0.22 – 0.79), primary education (OR=3.83, 95%CI 2.30 - 6.38) and illiteracy (OR=3.83 95%CI 2.52 – 5.82), were significantly associated with LBMD. The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis was 29.8%, 27.2%, respectively, while 43% of subjects had normal BMD.
Conclusion: It is concluded that within Pakistani population, the prevalence of osteopenia is high even at an early age group and the odds of having LBMD are more in less educated or illiterate women.

Improvement of hand hygiene compliance in a private hospital using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) method
Authors: Demirel Aslıhan 
Published: May 2019

Objective: Improving the compliance to hand hygiene in healthcare providers is important to reduce healthcare-associated infections. This study aimed to compare the compliance rate before and after the improvement of compliance to hand hygiene.
Methods: In this study 270 of the 348 medical staff working in a 61-bed private hospital was observed. The informed observation was performed by the infection control committee in the entire hospital using “Five Moments for Hand Hygiene” for a period of one year. After the first six months, an improvement study was conducted together with the hospital’s quality department using the plan-do-check-act cycle. The study was conducted in a private hospital in Istanbul/Turkey; Kadıkoy Florence Nightingale Hospital in 2014.
Results: In the first six months of the year, 153 actions were observed at 316 proper situations. The compliance rate was 35%, 54% and 64% for the physicians, nurses and, other healthcare staff, respectively. The overall compliance rate was 48%. One hundred eighty-three actions were observed for 306 situations after the improvement and education studies. The compliance rate was 29%, 72% and 86%. The overall mean compliance rate was 60%.
Conclusion: The promotion of hand hygiene requires the cooperation of the hospital administrators, infection control committee, and quality departments for better hand hygiene practices among the healthcare providers.

O pesquisador de fronteira e outras subjetivações: uma questão de método
Authors: Santos Maria Aparecida dos 
Published: May 2019

O objetivo geral deste artigo é cartografar caminhos e vicissitudes do pesquisador de fronteira, aquele que, encarnado na sua pesquisa, assume politicamente sua posição de buscar novos caminhos textuais para suas reflexões acerca da ciência e de suas práticas, incluindo a questão do método. Inspirada na Teoria do Ator-Rede, sigo pistas dos actantes envolvidos na entrada das terapias naturais, integrativas e complementares no Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS brasileiro. Pergunto como é pesquisar na fronteira e reflito sobre as subjetivações produzidas no processo de pesquisar desse lugar inquietante.

Testicular cancer
Authors: Peate Ian 
Published: May 2019

This article provides the healthcare assistant and the assistant practitioner (HCA and AP) with an overview of the male reproduction system. The anatomy and physiology of the testes is outlined. Understanding the anatomy and physiology can help the HCA and AP to offer support to a man (and, if appropriate, his family) with regards to testicular cancer. A discussion is made concerning the incidence of the condition, along with the risk factors associated with testicular cancer. The signs and symptoms of testicular cancer are described, and details given of how a diagnosis is made and the treatment options that may be available to a man. The HCA and AP have a role to play in offering men advice and information (health promotion) that can reduce risk and encourage men to seek help and support. The article provides a glossary of key terms and 5 multiple-choice questions that can help to promote learning and understanding.
‘Do not attempt CPR’ in the community: the experience of ambulance clinicians
Authors: Moffat Suzanne , Fritz Zoë , Slowther Anne-Marie , Parry Matthew , Barclay Stephen 
Published: May 2019

Background: Ambulance clinicians must make time-critical decisions concerning treatment and resuscitation. Little is known about the impact of the presence (or absence) of do-not-attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DNACPR) decision forms in the community. Aims: To investigate ambulance clinicians' experiences of DNACPR documentation and views concerning potential future changes. Methods: This multi-methods study used semi-structured face-to-face interviews (n=10) and an online questionnaire (n=123) Findings: Ambulance clinicians report that a statistically significant increase in numbers of community DNACPR forms has occurred in recent years. Most state they have not had formal DNACPR education and experience difficulties in making clinical judgments about patients at the end of life, reporting inappropriate CPR attempts and poor communication among stakeholders. Conclusion: Assessment of patients near the end of life with (and especially without) a DNACPR is challenging for ambulance clinicians. Education about resuscitation recommendations needs to be integrated into training and a national approach should be taken to decisions and their documentation.

Filosofía, crítica y práctica de sí: entre Wittgenstein y Foucault
Authors: Lorio Natalia , Torrano Andrea 
Published: May 2019

Si bien Wittgenstein y Foucault pertenecen a distintas tradiciones – Wittgenstein a la filosofía analítica y Foucault a la filosofía continental– es posible señalar cierta problemática común sobre lo que comprendieron como actividad filosófica. En este artículo nos ocuparemos de la actividad filosófica a partir de las nociones de crítica y práctica de sí. Tanto Wittgenstein como Foucault realizan una crítica al modo tradicional como se ha comprendido la filosofía, como también al modo de hacer filosofía. Asimismo, la tarea filosófica supone una práctica de sí, la cual puede ser considerada como propedéutica –Wittgenstein– o como parrhesía –Foucault.
Para uma (re)leitura das Anotações sobre as cores de Wittgenstein
Authors: Salles João Carlos 
Published: May 2019

As Anotações sobre as cores não têm tido o destaque merecido, pois parecem um conjunto parcialmente amorfo e desconexo, com precária estrutura de conjunto. Isso se deve, em grande medida, ao estado da edição dos textos realizada por G. E. M. Anscombe, que despreza variantes, faz sugestões equivocadas para a datação dos manuscritos, suprime parágrafos (inclusive uma quarta parte), além de ter desfigurado a Parte II, ordenando equivocadamente esses parágrafos. Uma edição bem cuidadaé necessária à recuperação de suas chaves interpretativas, permitindo-nos um roteiro claro de leitura. Desse modo, a Parte II logo se apresenta como um projeto de tratamento de proposições gramaticais sobre cores, ao que se segue o extenso e rico material da Parte III, a ser lido em conjunto com a Parte IV. Assim, em conjunto, essas partes preparam a bem elaborada Parte I, que sintetiza os principais problemas anteriores e, de modo claro, mostra as razões mais profundas para o fracasso da análise fenomenológica de Goethe e, por conseguinte, de toda fenomenologia que se pretenda uma ciência definitiva do conceito de cor ou que, em relação a outros temas, pretenda universalizar a "matemática" própria de um emprego específico.
„Rzeczy warszawskie” – nowa odsłona Muzeum Warszawy
Authors: Markowska Anna 
Published: May 2019

A radical reconstruction of the exposition layout at the Museum of the City of Warsaw, connected with the general reconstruction of the facilities and retirement of its longtime director, Janusz Durko (1951-2003), resulted in 2017 in opening a new permanent exposition called Things from Warsaw. The exposition consists of 21 cabinets containing 8 000 items selected out of 300 000 included in the museum holdings (e. g., Cabinet of Warsaw Monuments, Cabinet of Warsaw Silver and Plate Tableware, Cabinet of the Warsaw Sirens, Cabinet of Postcards, Cabinet of Souvenirs, Cabinet of Shrines). The main criterion was the materiality and authenticity of particular items, which resulted in the absence of multimedia presentations and suggested “appropriate” narratives. The main curator of the exposition is Jarosław Trybuś, art historian and curator rewarded with the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2008. His team followed an idea of Bjørnar Olsen that due to various conceptualizations the material world studied by the humanities has been so dematerialized that we can hardly believe our eyes. Thus the features of the exposition – sincerity, seriousness, and modesty – suggest a new approach to the city’s history through experiencing the reality of things treated not so much as “witnesses,” but rather as “actors” of the past events. This turn to materiality stems from the hope to come close to the things without the mediation of words imposing predictable interpretations in advance. In other words, the exposition is a kind of lesson in openness, multidirectional reading, and the de-ideologization of history. The Things from Warsawexhibition has been analyzed in reference to three criteria: openness to the “other,” creating a vision of the future, and the inspiring power of imagination.
Stable Non-symmetric Coupling of the Finite Volume Method and the Boundary Element Method for Convection-Dominated Parabolic-Elliptic Interface Problems
Authors: Erath Christoph , Schorr Robert 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Many problems in electrical engineering or fluid mechanics can be
modeled by parabolic-elliptic interface problems,
where the domain for the exterior elliptic problem might be unbounded.
A possibility to solve this class of problems numerically is
the non-symmetric coupling of finite elements (FEM) and boundary elements (BEM)
analyzed in [H. Egger, C. Erath and R. Schorr,
On the nonsymmetric coupling method for parabolic-elliptic interface problems,
SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 56 2018, 6, 3510–3533].
If, for example, the interior problem represents a fluid,
this method is not appropriate
since FEM in general lacks conservation of numerical fluxes and in case of
convection dominance also stability.
A possible remedy to guarantee both is the use
of the vertex-centered finite volume method (FVM) with an
upwind stabilization option.
Thus, we propose a (non-symmetric) coupling of FVM and BEM for a semi-discretization of the
underlying problem. For the subsequent time discretization we introduce two
options: a variant
of the backward Euler method which allows us to develop an analysis under minimal regularity assumptions
and the classical backward Euler method.
We analyze both, the semi-discrete and the fully-discrete system, in terms of convergence
and error estimates. Some numerical examples illustrate the theoretical findings and
give some ideas for practical applications.
Versorgungssicherheit mit Strom: Empirische Evidenz auf Basis der Inferred-Valuation-Methode
Authors: Frondel Manuel , Sommer Stephan , Tomberg Lukas 
Published: May 2019

AbstractBased on a survey among more than 5,000 German household heads, this article investigates their willingness to pay (WTP) for avoiding power outages usingContingent-Valuation-Methods (CVM). Alternatively, we ask respondents to estimate the WTP of a hypothetical household. ThisInferred-Valuation-Method (IVM) is an approach introduced to reduce the hypothetical bias of stated WTP. Our empirical results indicate that, relative to the CVM, the IVM yields inflated WTP values, casting doubt on the validity of the IVM.
Ausländische Direktinvestitionen in Deutschland – die große Angst vor China
Authors: Görg Holger 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The current discussion in German policy circles suggests a strong scepticism towards foreign takeovers of German firms. This essay takes issue with this. It is firstly argued that Germany in actual fact receives relatively little inward investment. The essay then discusses the potential benefits from inward FDI which could also benefit the German economy. It then briefly reflects on the German policy initiatives which seem to be based on a fear of investment from China – though it is not clear at all what this fear is based on.
