Designing Metaphor-Based Ambient Tangible Artifacts to Support Workspace Awareness
Authors: Matviienko Andrii , El Ali Abdallah , Hilmer Christin , Feld Yannick , Heuten Wilko , Boll Susanne 
Published: November 2018

AbstractCurrent asynchronous (e. g., email) or synchronous (e. g., video-conferencing) communication methods in the workspace can be obtrusive and fail to mimic spontaneous interpersonal communication. This can cause difficulties in forming close relationships among working colleagues. To examine this problem, we conducted a needs assessment study consisting of an online survey, a focus group, and a co-design session to gather a set of system requirements and metaphors as a base for future system designs. Based on the results, we designed two metaphor-based ambient tangible systems to support awareness among working colleagues:AwareCupsandAwareHouse. Furthermore, we evaluated these systems in a short field study with 22 participants and found that both systems are highly intuitive and easy to use. We discuss the solution space for metaphor-based tangible awareness systems and the effects of the outcomes on the potential increase of awareness among colleagues.
Add-Aptation: Simon Stephens, Carrie Cracknell and Katie Mitchell’s ‘Dialogues’ with the Classic Canon
Authors: Bull John 
Published: November 2018

AbstractAddition and Add-Aptation
This article discusses, in particular, the playwright Simon Stephens’s “English Language versions” of Ibsen’s A Doll’s House and Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard in the context of the long and tangled history of translation and adaptation. Key differences from the conventional claim to be attempting some kind of fidelity to the original in Stephens’s approach to the task of creating a new text are considered: an approach which largely adheres to the overall narrative structure of the original but feels free to play with, in particular, the dialogue. This approach is then contrasted with the act of ‘appropriation’ of an existing text: whilst the act of appropriation results in the creation of an independent play that exists alongside the original, although Stephens actively disrupts expectations of fidelity, his version is still offered as a play by Ibsen or Chekhov. The process is further problematized by the directorial interventions of Carrie Cracknell and Katie Mitchell, working independently and in collaboration with Stephens on their productions of A Doll’s House and The Cherry Orchard respectively. I have labelled this process Add-Aptation, to distinguish it from both adaptation per se and appropriation. In an add-apted text the additions are both deliberate and significant Not the least significant factor in this process is that both directors are women, as is increasingly likely to be the case in the world of contemporary theatre.

Authors: Dülgeroğlu Yakup , Eroğlu Onur 
Published: November 2018

Abstract

Background
In this study, the objective was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of some miRNAs, which were shown to have a diagnostic value for prostate cancer (PCa), and the effect of chronic prostatitis in distinguishing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and PCa.

Materials and methods
Serum levels of 11 miRNAs were investigated in BPH, chronic prostatitis and PCa patients. Measurements were performed using qRT-PCR.

Results
In the analysis, serum levels of miR-375, -125b-5p, -30c-5p, -26b-5p, and let-7c-5p were downregulated in cancer compared with non-cancer group and AUCs of these miRNAs in distinguishing PCa group from non-cancer group were calculated as 0.781, 0.782, 0.762, 0.874, and 0.845, respectively. AUC of the combination of miR-375 and miR-26b-5p in distinguishing PCa group from non-cancer group was 0.891, AUC of these two miRNAs in distinguishing PCa group from BPH group was 0.944.

Conclusion
In our study, 11 miRNAs were studied and 5 of these miRNAs were considered as biomarker candidates as these miRNAs, individually or combined, could be used to distinguish PCa from benign conditions. Furthermore, a higher specificity and sensitivity were obtained in distinguishing BPH and PCa when data for diagnostic potential of miRNAs were analyzed without including chronic prostatic group.
Viscometric and Conductometric Studies of Solvation Behaviour of Tetraalkylammonium Salts in the Binary Mixtures of Dimethylsulfoxide and Methanol at 298.15 K
Authors: Anand Hardeep , Verma Renu 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Molar conductance and viscosity of some tetraalkylammonium perchlorates (R4NClO4 where R = Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl, Butyl) have been measured in the concentration range (30–500) × 10−4 mol kg−1 at 298.15 K in the binary mixtures of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) + methanol (MeOH) containing 0, 20, 40, 50, 60, 80 and 100 mol% methanol. Conductance data has been analyzed using the Shedlovsky equation and the viscosity data by Jones-Dole equation. The limiting ionic conductances (

λ

$\lambda_{\pm}^{o}$

) were used to calculate the solvated radii (ri
) of the ions. The A and B coefficients of the Jones-Dole equation are positive in all salts. The A coefficients are in reasonable good agreement with the limiting theoretical values (Aη
) calculated using Falkenhagen-Vernon equation. The variation of the ionic B±
coefficients as well as the actual solvated radii (ri
) with solvent composition in DMSO + MeOH mixtures show the preferential solvation of tetraalkylammonium ions by MeOH and MeOH-rich region of the mixtures. The tetraalkylammonium ions exhibit solvation in the order Me4N+ > Et4N+ > Pr4N+ > Bu4N+.
Defect Detection and Monitoring in Metal Additive Manufactured Parts through Deep Learning of Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy Signals

Published: November 2018

Abstract
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that promises to herald a new age in manufacturing by removing many of the design and material-related constraints of traditional subtractive and formative manufacturing processes. However, the level and severity of defects observed in parts produced by the current class of LPBF systems will not be tolerated in safety-critical applications. Hence, there is a need to introduce information-rich process monitoring to assess part integrity simultaneously with fabrication so that opportune corrective action can be taken to minimize part defects. Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy (SRAS) is a uniquely positioned nondestructive acoustic microscopy sensing approach that has been successfully used to probe the mechanical properties and assess the presence of defects in LPBF parts. However, the technique is sensitive to extraneous phenomena, such as surface reflectivity, which occur within the LPBF system and may occlude identification of surface breaking and subsurface defects. With a view to applying the SRAS technique for in-process monitoring in a production-scale LPBF environment and to overcome the foregoing challenge, this study proposes the use of a deep learning convolutional neural network that is termed Densely connected Convolutional Block Architecture for Multimodal Image Regression (DCB-MIR), which invokes SRAS-derived acoustic velocity maps of the part as input data and translates them to an output resembling an optical micrograph. Through this approach, we demonstrate that defects, such as porosity and surface imperfections in titanium alloy and nickel alloy specimens made using LPBF, which were not clearly discernable in the as-measured SRAS acoustic map and were obscured by artifacts in the optical image, are accurately identified. To quantify the accuracy of the approach, the cosine similarity between the predicted output images and target optical images was used as the objective function of DCB-MIR. The cosine similarity between the acquired SRAS signatures and the corresponding as-measured optical micrographs of samples typically ranged between –0.15 and 0.15. In contrast, when the optical micrograph-like images derived from DCB-MIR proposed in this work were compared with the optical signatures, the cosine similarity improved in the range of 0.25 to 0.60.

Published: November 2018

The study of “Pedagogical Content Knowledge Development of Science Prospective Teachers in Professional Practice Program” was conducted in one junior high school located in Bandung. The purpose of the study was to analyze the level and pattern of science prospective teachers’ PCK development as measured by CoRe. The study involved students who enrolled professionals practice program. Mixed methods, quantitative and qualitative research was utilized as a method in the study. Data collected by the coding and scoring of the CoRe instruments were analyzed quantitatively; and data gained from observation, documentation, and interviews were analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the PCK of prospective teachers are in the maturing PCK (level 3) and growing PCK (level 2). There are two patterns of PCK development showed by prospective teachers i.e. rising and fluctuative. The prospective teachers who are in the mature PCK show the pattern of rising, whereas prospective teachers who are in the growing PCK show fluctuative pattern. The study reveals that external and internal factors influenced the development of PCK. The pattern of guidance, lesson study activities, and intensity guidance are external factors that influenced the pattern of prospective students’ PCK development. Psychological effect that exists between teachers and students, the motivation of self to expand the horizons of knowledge, communication skills, and teaching experiences are the internal factors that influenced the development of prospective teacher PCK. The study suggests that the development of prospective teachers PCK in the program can be improved when supervisor and prospective teachers put consideration to those internal and external factors that influence the development of PCK.

Authors: Kapitány-Fövény M , Rácz J 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
In the past decade, novel psychoactive substances (NPSs) gained a significant role on the contemporary drug scene. Synthetic cathinones and synthetic cannabinoids are the most common NPSs both in Hungary and worldwide. This study aims to provide a literature review on the Hungarian characteristics related to the use of these NPSs.

Materials and methods
Available literature regarding synthetic cathinone and cannabinoid use in Hungary was overviewed and structured into (a) epidemiological studies, (b) studies on the subjective and somatic effects, and (c) studies on toxicity and adverse consequences. Published papers between 2007 and 2017 were identified using PubMed and MATARKA search engines.

Results
One hundred twenty-six papers were identified and after exclusion, 54 papers remained for in-depth analysis. Most of the reviewed studies were providing epidemiological information regarding the NPSs of our interest. Hungarian prevalence rates were not higher than the European averages. Identified risks of these NPSs consisted of drug-induced psychosis, further severe psychiatric symptoms, and fatal overdose. Injecting of cathinones was also a commonly reported phenomenon, mostly among clients of needle-exchange programs.

Conclusion
Based on the reviewed body of research, necessary information is available to plan effective prevention and intervention programs and establishes specific therapeutic guidelines for the treatment of NPS users.

Published: November 2018

This paper reports the cytotoxic effect on several cancer cell lines of the stem extracts and of some isolated compounds from Ehretia asperula. All the extracts exhibited cytotoxic effects on at least one cancer cell line. The n-hexane extract showed potent cytotoxic activity on Hep-G2, MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines with IC50 values of 28.3 g/ml, 14.42 g/ml and 18.59 g/ml, respectively, while the methanolic, ethyl acetate and water extracts exhibited toxicity towards MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 16.45 g/ml, 13.4 g/ml and
39.78 g/ml, respectively.
06 compounds have been isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of Ehretia asperula stem. Methyl caffeate has a strong cytotoxicity against Hep-G2, HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 2.83 g/ml, 3.38 g/ml and 4.4 g/ml, respectively. Oresbiusin B was active against Hep-G2 with IC50 value of 9.89 g/ml. The other compounds including coniferaldehyde, 9′-methoxydehydrodiconiferyl alcohol and vanillic acid did not have any cytotoxic effect on the tested cancer cell lines. So, the obtained results have suggested possibility of using the potential Ehretia asperula extracts as health food for preventing and curing cancer diseases.

Population density of the peanut worm Siphonosoma australe australe (Keferstein, 1865) (Sipunculus: Phascolosomatidae) in the mangrove forest of Gianh river, Quang Binh province
Authors: My Huong Nguyen Thi , Chung Ngo Dac , Ba Le Huy 
Published: November 2018

The peanut worm, Siphonosoma australe australe (Keferstein, 1865), is a non-segmented worm, with a coelom, most live in areas of shallow water, tidal areas or the sea. Currently, the number of individuals in Peanut worm populations are declining considerably due to over-exploitation and habitat degradation. However, information on individual density and biomass of Peanut worm populations in Vietnam is still lacking, as is information on environmental factors affecting them. This study was carried out at various sites in the lower reaches of mangrove forest of the Gianh river, Quang Binh province. We calculated individual and hole densities per month by counting the number of individuals and holes according to each site area. We found significant differences (p ≤ 0.037) among sampled sites in hole density (from 1.43 to 2.54 holes/m2, average of 1,96 holes/m2), individual number (from 45 to 81 individuals, average of 62 individuals/site area), and biomass (from 20.27 to 51.16 g/m2, average of 34.57 g/m2). However, individual density (from 0.51 to 0.98 individuals/m2, average of 0.68 individuals/m2) was not significantly different among sites. Water temperature, pH, and salinity have the significant effect on individual and hole densities, individual number, and biomass of peanut worms (p ≤ 0.001; excepting water temperature affects the biomass of peanut worms). Excepting biomass, average individual and hole densities, as well as individual number of peanut worms, were greater in the dry season than in the rainy season (p < 0.0001).

Helicteres hirsuta Lour., particularly its stems and leaves have been used in
Vietnamese traditional medicine to cure furuncles, dysentery, measles and flu. In this study, we examined biological activities of 5 fractions from methanol extract of H. hirsuta roots. The results showed that ethyl acetate fraction has the highest content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds (220.9 ± 15.67 mg GAE, gallic acid equivalents /g dry weight and 23.03 ± 0.97 mg QE, quercetin equivalents /g dry weight, respectively). Fractions from H. hirsuta roots exhibited antioxidant, an-tibacterial and anticancer activities. Ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest antioxidant activi-ty through 1,1diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging capacity (half-maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50 value of 0.117 ± 0.023 mg/ml). Ethyl acetate fraction of roots also showed the strongest reducing power (0.071 ± 0.009 mg/ml) and cytotoxicity on human KB cell lines (IC50= 3.23 μg/ml). Besides, fractions from H. hirsuta roots had high inhibitory activity against Gram-positive bacteria namely Staphylococcus aureus and Lactobacillus fermentum. The results suggest potential exploitation of bioactive compounds from H. hirsuta roots especially ethyl acetate frac-tion and its application in medicine and pharmacy. This is the first report on second metabolite composition and biological activities of H. hirsuta roots.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT
Alpha-amylase and α-glucosidase are two main enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase can be said as an effective treatment for delaying the absorption of glucose after meals in people with diabetes mellitus. The objective of the present study is to provide an in vitro evidence for the potential hypoglycemic activity via inhibitory activity of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts from fruiting bodies of Pycnoporus sanguineus mushroom on α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. Alpha-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of P. sanguineus fruiting body were examined in a dose-response manner. Acarbose was used as a positive control. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of P. sanguineus possessed strong inhibitory activity on α-amylase and α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 97.08 and 92.60 μg/mL, respectively. The aqueous extract also exhibited moderate activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 150.15 and 102.29 μg/mL, respectively. Which was signiﬁcantly lower than that of acarbose with IC50 values of 85.12 and 68.36 μg/mL, respectively. The degree of α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition was correlated with the dose of inhibitors. From these results Pycnoporus sanguineus (Trametes sanguinea) possesses high potential in lowering blood glucose level, reduced insulin resistance and the risk of diabetic-related complications.

Māori Research(er) in Three Poems
Authors: Kidd Jacquie 
Published: November 2018

These three poems re-present the findings from a research project that took place in 2013 (Kidd et al. 2018, Kidd et al. 2014). The research explored what health literacy meant for Māori patients and wh?nau when they accessed palliative care. Through face-to-face interviews and focus groups we engaged with 81 people including patients, wh?nau, bereaved loved ones, support workers and health professionals. The poems are composite, written to bring some of our themes to life.
The first poem is titled Aue. This is a Māori lament that aligns to English words such as 'oh no', or 'arrgh', or 'awww'. Each stanza of the poem re-presents some of the stories we heard throughout the research.
The second poem is called Tikanga. This is a Māori concept that encompasses customs, traditions and protocols. There are tikanga rituals and processes that guide all aspects of life, death, and relationships. This poem was inspired by an elderly man who explained that he would avoid seeking help from a hospice because 'they leave tikanga at the door at those places'. His choice was to bear his pain bravely, with pride, within his cultural identity.
The third poem is called 'People Like Me'. This is an autoethnographical reflection of what I experienced as a researcher which draws on the work of scholars such as bell hooks (1984), Laurel Richardson (1997) and Ruth Behar (1996). These and many other authors encourage researchers to use frustration and anger to inform our writing; to use our tears to fuel our need to publish our research.

O comportamento sintático-semântico do pronome de terceira pessoa no português brasileiro
Authors: Carvalho Danniel Da Silva , Cerqueira Fernanda De Oliveira 
Published: November 2018

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo observar aspectos do comportamento morfossintático e semântico da forma pronominal de terceira pessoa plena no Português Brasileiro (PB), a partir do inventário de traços que a constitui, sob a perspectiva de uma teoria de traços (HARBOUR, ADGER & BÉJAR, 2003). Para tanto, foram observados dados de introspecção do português brasileiro, conforme os pressupostos teóricos da Teoria Gerativa, conforme o Programa Minimalista (CHOMSKY, 1995 e posteriores), os quais permitiram observar que a terceira pessoa plena pode ocorrer em qualquer contexto sintático, que permite apenas leitura definida e específica, exceto em posição de sujeito, que pode assumir leitura definida e/ou específica, ou ainda, nenhuma das duas (caso dos expletivos), e, portanto, terceira pessoa não apresenta comportamento arbitrário, como ocorre com a primeira e a segunda pessoa. Os resultados mencionados, por conseguinte, apontam para as seguintes conclusões: (a) a geometria de traços da categoria pessoa parece estar relacionada com elementos, em princípio, pós-sintáticos como semântica e pragmática; e (b) a terceira pessoa pode ser a forma pronominal default, em português, pois é o pronome pessoal cuja forma é mais subespecificada, não possui leitura genérica e comportamento arbitrário e é a forma expandida para neutros e expletivos na maioria das línguas humanas.
