Presessions to the National Diabetes Prevention Program May be a Promising Strategy to Improve Attendance and Weight Loss Outcomes
Authors: Ritchie Natalie D. , Kaufmann Peter G. , Gritz R. Mark , Sauder Katherine A. , Holtrop Jodi Summers 
Published: July 2018

Purpose: The National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) is a widely disseminated lifestyle intervention. Attendance is problematic, leading to suboptimal weight loss, especially among racial/ethnic minority participants. We conducted a novel “presession” protocol to improve engagement of diverse NDPP candidates, comparing NDPP participants who attended a presession to those who did not on attendance and weight loss outcomes. Design: Longitudinal cohort study. Setting: A safety net health-care system. Participants: A total of 1140 patients with diabetes risks (58.9% Hispanic, 19.8% non-Hispanic black, 61.8% low income). Intervention: The NDPP has been delivered in a Denver, Colorado health-care system since 2013. The program included 22 to 25 sessions over 1 year. Beginning September 2016, individuals were required to attend a presession before enrollment that focused on (1) increasing risk awareness, (2) motivational interviewing to participate in the NDPP, and (3) problem-solving around engagement barriers. Measures: Duration and intensity of NDPP attendance and weight loss. Analysis: Outcomes of 75 presession participants who enrolled in the NDPP were compared to 1065 prior participants using analysis of covariance and multivariable logistic regression. Results: Presession participants stayed in the NDPP 99.8 days longer ( P < .001) and attended 14.3% more sessions ( P < .001) on average than those without a presession. Presession participants lost 2.0% more weight ( P < .001) and were 3.5 times more likely to achieve the 5% weight loss target ( P < .001). Conclusion: Presessions may improve NDPP outcomes for individuals from diverse backgrounds. A full-scale trial is needed to determine whether presessions reliably improve NDPP effectiveness.

Introduction Compared to healthy individuals, stroke patients have five times the rate of dementia diagnosis within three years. Aerobic exercise may induce neuroprotective mechanisms that help to preserve, and even increase, brain volume and cognition. We seek to determine whether aerobic fitness training helps to protect brain volume and cognitive function after stroke compared to an active, non-aerobic control. Methods In this Phase IIb, single blind, randomised controlled trial, 100 ischaemic stroke participants, recruited at two months post-stroke, will be randomly allocated to either the intervention (aerobic and strength exercise) or active control (stretching and balance training). Participants will attend one-hour, individualised exercise sessions, three days-per-week for eight weeks. Assessments at two months (baseline), four months (post-intervention), and one year (follow-up) post-stroke will measure brain volume, cognition, mood, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, blood pressure and blood biomarkers. Study outcome: Our primary outcome measure is hippocampal volume at four months after stroke. We hypothesise that participants who undertake the prescribed intervention will have preserved hippocampal volume at four months compared to the control group. We also hypothesise that this group will have preserved total brain volume and cognition, better mood, fitness, and higher levels of physical activity, than those receiving stretching and balance training. Discussion The promise of exercise training to prevent, or slow, the accelerated rates of brain atrophy and cognitive decline experienced by stroke survivors needs to be tested. Post Ischaemic Stroke Cardiovascular Exercise Study has the potential, if proven efficacious, to identify a new treatment that could be readily translated to the clinic.
Unusually Y-rich monazite-(Ce) with 6–14 wt.% Y2O3 in a granulite from the Bohemian Massif: implications for high-temperature monazite growth from the monazite-xenotime miscibility gap thermometry
Authors: Krenn E. , Finger F. 
Published: July 2018

AbstractAccessory monazite-(Ce) with an extraordinarily high proportion of the xenotime component in solid solution of 21–42 mol.% (6.5–14 wt.% Y2O3, 6–11 wt.% HREE2O3) was discovered in a retrogressed Variscan high-pressure, high-temperature granulite from the southern Bohemian Massif, Austria. The grains with the highest proportion of xenotime (XXno ~0.4) should have had a minimum formation temperature of ~1050°C, according to published monazite-xenotime miscibility gap thermometers. This high temperature is consistent with previous petrological studies on the south Bohemian granulites indicating ~1000°C/16 kbar for the peak metamorphic stage.
Morphology and performance of polyvinyl chloride membrane modified with Pluronic F127
Authors: Arahman Nasrul , Fahrina Afrilia , Wahab Mukramah Yusuf , Fathanah Umi 
Published: July 2018

Background: Attempts to modify the morphology of membrane for application in industrial separation are being undertaken by many researchers. The present study discusses the morphological modification of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane by combining the hydrophilic surfactant Pluronic F127 (PF127) in a polymer solution to improve the performance of the membrane. Method: The membrane is formed using the non-solvent induced-phase separation (NIPS) method. PF127 is added to the membrane solution as a membrane modifying agent. The effects of the surfactant concentration in the dope solution on the permeability of pure water, solute rejection, hydrophilic characteristics, and membrane morphology are investigated. Results: Higher concentrations of PF127 had a significant effect on the permeability of pure water. The highest membrane permeation was 45.65 l/m2.hr.atm with the addition of 7% PF127 additive. Conclusion: PF127 is successfully proposed as a membrane pore-forming agent in this work; the blending of this additive in appropriate amounts in the polymer solution is adequate to improve the performance of the PVC membrane.

Podjęto próbę znalezienia różnic w występowaniu ortoreksji w populacji młodzieży dużego i małego miasta.MetodaGrupę badaną stanowiły 864 osoby, w tym 599 kobiet i 265 mężczyzn. Średnia wieku kobiet wynosiła 20,21 +/- 3,27 lat zaś mężczyzn - 18,93 +/- 3,67 lat. W badaniu zastosowano autorski kwestionariusz zbierający podstawowe informacje o osobach badanych oraz kwestionariusze diagnostyczne: ORTO-15 opracowany przez Doniniego i wsp., (walidacja w Polsce – Janas-Kozik i wsp.), EAT-26 autorstwa Garnera i Garfinkela, MOCI (Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Inventory) przygotowany przez Hodgsona i Rachmana oraz BDI - II (Beck Depression Inventory II) opracowany przez Becka. Wyniki opracowano za pomocą metod statystycznych.WynikiRyzyko występowania ortoreksji stwierdzono u 27% badanych (za punkt odcięcia przyjęto wynik 35). Najwyższy wskaźnik ryzyka ortoreksji zaobserwowano w grupie gimnazjalistów, najniższe nasilenie zachowań ortorektycznych wśród licealistów. Nie stwierdzono znamiennych różnic w ryzyku ortoreksji pomiędzy osobami pochodzącymi z małego i dużego miasta. Badane czynniki społeczne nie wykazują wpływu na ryzyko wystąpienia ortoreksji. Osoby, u których można podejrzewać ortoreksję mają istotnie wyższy wskaźnik BMI. Nie stwierdzono istotnych statystycznie różnic zarówno w występowaniu, jak i w głębokości depresji w badanej grupie. Depresja występowała u 25% badanych, nie potwierdzono jej związku z ortoreksją.WnioskiGrupą najbardziej zagrożoną wystąpieniem ortoreksji są gimnazjaliści, a także osoby o wyższym wskaźniku BMI.Bardziej diagnostyczne jest przyjęcie progu odcięcia dla ortoreksji w teście ORTO-15, na poziomie 35, z uwagi na generowanie dużej nadrozpoznawalności zjawiska przy progu 40-punktowym.
Combined generic-specialist multimorbidity rehabilitation post acute cardiac event
Authors: Cowie Aynsley , McKay Janet , Keenan Alison 
Published: July 2018

Aim: This project examined service users' perceptions of a 10-week multimorbidity rehabilitation programme and aimed to establish whether a generic-specialist approach can meet the needs of those attending post-acute cardiac event. Methods: Twenty-eight service users (mean: 66 years; 22 male/6 female; 21 with chronic multimorbidity; 7 attending post-acute cardiac event) participated in four focus groups. Three key discussion themes were generated: changing perceptions; changing behaviour; and support. Findings: Service users attained awareness of their capabilities, which helped with confidence, activity levels, setting activity goals and attaining control over condition(s). Goal-setting enhanced motivation for physical activity and other ‘healthy’ behaviours. Within the family, worry and dependence were reduced and socialising increased. Staff support alleviated pre-participation apprehension, and trepidation about peers dissipated as confidence, motivation, support and social interaction were gained from classmates. Those attending post acute cardiac event vocalised heightened support needs which must be acknowledged to enable these service users to independently self-manage long-term.
Can we justify combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgery treatment?
Authors: Good John , Jones Ross , Sood Vikas , Kelly Clare 
Published: July 2018

Abstract: Patients requiring combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment make up 7% of a UK-based Orthodontic Consultant's caseload. This has significant time and cost implications within the NHS. In a climate of spending cuts across our health service, a need has arisen to justify service provision. Accordingly, a new index has been devised to aid in the prioritization and provision of care for orthognathic patients. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To carry out a retrospective audit of 44 patients who had orthognathic surgery in the NHS between May 2012 and October 2014, assign each an Index of Orthognathic Functional and Orthodontic Treatment Need, IOFTN and IOTN, score, respectively and identify any differences.

The emerging alternative practices in Malaysian art (1990s–2015)
Authors: Abdullah Sarena 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
In the past fifteen to twenty years, the Malaysian market-oriented art world has evolved and expanded. Within this evolution and expansion, many interesting trajectories took place not in tandem with the promulgation of the Malaysian marketoriented art world. Thus, this article serves as an attempt to trace changes in the Malaysian art scene not based on the establishment of the ‘art world’, but the coexistence of alternative art practices since the late 1990s that occurred within the same period. Therefore, this article will discuss several alternative courses that surfaced since the establishment of several alternative art groups, collectives and spaces in Malaysia. These initiatives later led to various public programmes organized by such groups and spaces. Examples of the aforementioned public programmes include art talks, workshops, exhibitions, exploratory works and even art festivals in an effort to involve the public in community-engaged art projects.
Art is capital: Between cultural memory and the creative industry
Authors: Jurriëns Edwin 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This article focuses on jeprut, a form of performance art from West Java, Indonesia, which addresses the interconnections and tensions between natural, sociocultural and political environments. The article explains how jeprut underlies the artistic ideas, media and practices of Bandung-based artist Tisna Sanjaya (b.1958), who was one of the pioneers of the genre in the mid-1980s. With his jeprut-inspired printmaking, painting, installation art, performance art, television drama and cultural centre, Sanjaya has addressed the interrelations between the destruction of the natural environment, cultural heritage, political authoritarianism and religious fundamentalism, among others. The author argues that the work of Sanjaya and other jeprut artists has promoted art, culture and spirituality as fundamental human capital. The artists provide a necessary complement and corrective to the rapid expansion of the creative industry in Indonesia, which is predominantly about capital in the narrow sense of finance and economic development. The article also describes how the creative activism has materialized in immediate results, such as the cleaning of a river, the preservation of a city forest and the protection of a cultural centre in Bandung.
The politics of aesthetics, space and community: An analysis of Same Old, Brand New by Cao Fei
Authors: Snels Jori 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This article analyses the site-specific video artwork Same Old, Brand New by Chinese artist Cao Fei, which was exhibited in Hong Kong during Art Basel 2015. Set in the context of the Umbrella Revolution, it is argued that although the work by Chinese artists who became known in the 2000s may seem apolitical, artists such as Cao Fei have found subtle ways to create political art, to engage the public with politics, to disrupt political hegemony, to go beyond the boundaries of art institutions and to produce ungovernable communities that may evade identity politics. In its intervention in public space and its reworking of popular culture Same Old, Brand New has helped to temporarily constitute a politically engaged public. Using theories by Jacques Rancière, Henri Lefebvre and Jean-Luc Nancy, this study shows how Same Old, Brand New disrupts the distribution of the sensible and the hegemonic production of space and produces a sense of ‘being-in-common’.
Defying the division of labour: Lee Wan and the Made-In series
Authors: Lee Young Ji 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This article examines the Korea-based artist Lee Wan (b. 1979) and his years-long Made-In series. Since 2012, Lee has travelled to Asian countries including Cambodia, Myanmar, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and China. There Lee produced a tablespoon of sugar, three grams of gold, a pair of chopsticks, straw shoes, a wig, some silk, rice and batik that represented the country and videotaped the time-consuming, thorny process of manufacturing each item from scratch. Lee’s trip to former colonies, mostly South East Asian countries, and his ensuing sojourns there denote not only the spatial movement of visiting the home of each commodity, but also the time-travelling project of tracing the historical origin of an internationally consumed local product to the colonial period of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century. While mapping globalizing Asia through this larger, totalizing vision, Lee’s site-specific, self-assigned mission to create each country’s specialty results in dissecting the structure of a global economy that is intertwined with local politics. This essay articulates how Lee Wan’s thought-provoking performance, or, process art suggests an alternative way of living under a global market economy that has heavily depended on cheap labour, mass production, the dominant mode of exchange, and specialization. My reading illustrates the ways in which Lee’s work addresses a criticism of globalization partly by undoing the pre-existing division of labour and pursuing inefficiency amid the rapidly expanding transnational circulation of capital.
Butoh’s subversive somatics
Authors: Nicely Megan V. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Once relatively unknown outside of Japan, today butoh is gaining recognition as a movement training and performance genre. In English-language literature it is frequently characterized as ‘somatic’. What kind of somatics does butoh propose? To answer this question, this article places butoh within a larger historical framework of dance and western somatics, noting shared values and points of conflict. The research draws from the author’s co-taught community class in San Francisco to identify several aspects of what the author calls ‘butoh-based somatics’: practice as self-training, choreographic forces and performance attention. The article concludes by posing that to understand butoh’s subversive appeal for dancers and others seeking social change, the practice must be adapted and kept in dialogue with specific locations and contexts.

A contemporary dance practice generating ad hoc dances: Inspired by and in conversation with Rosalind Crisp
Authors: Glaser Laura S. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Dance artist Rosalind Crisp has developed a practice called ‘choreographic improvisation’ and methods of working in which the sensorial body becomes the material for a dance created in the moment; i.e. ad hoc dances. This article discusses how Crisp’s approach is a fine example of the integration of somatic and artistic processes as well as the incorporation of making choreographic choices while dancing. Intrigued by the quality of the teaching and performance works by Crisp, the author describes the methodology of ‘choreographic improvisation’ that is constituent to both the practice in the studio and in performance. This method is set in context with practices from other contemporary dance artists. Crisp’s understanding of material and the process-based interactions of material within itself and the environment prompts the linking to a current philosophical thinking of New Materialism. Creating ad hoc dances is a dynamic process sustaining emerging creations.
Unsettling materials: Lively tensions in learning through ‘set materials’ in the dance technique class
Authors: Dryburgh Jamieson 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
An explorative engagement with learning through set materials in the dance technique class enables embodied knowledge. This qualitative dance research, framed through practitioner-led inquiry, reflects upon the experience of a deliberately unsettled process of bodily learning in the studio. Set materials in contemporary dance technique classes are considered through two intertwined strands of learning; exploration and embodiment. A series of ‘lively tensions’ are articulated through the student participant data that reveal the multidimensionality of dance technique practice. The pedagogical considerations and theoretical framing of what it means for set materials to enable rather than restrict dance student agency are discussed. The teacher/researcher reflects on how unsettling the process of learning in the studio might encourage dance students to more thoroughly engage with bodily inquiry. The voices of students as research participants, are quoted in order that their words articulate the nuances of the experience of learning in dance technique.
Employing dwelling to reconsider individual and collaborative relationships to pedagogical practice
Authors: Giddens Sara , Long Liz , Spencer Ruth 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Three practitioner-researchers from the University of Central Lancashire begin to wrestle with how they might employ dwelling within their pedagogy. Weaving together images and texts from a diverse range of sources, they invite readers to consider how dwelling, as a practice, has become foregrounded in, and through, their research and professional practice, and how it might support and challenge teaching and learning within a higher education context. And how it might inform and empower new ways of working collaboratively and help us to enable and engage in a more useful and meaningful dialoguing process.
The Porous Body: Cultivating malleability in traditional dance training
Authors: Laberge-Côté Louis 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Contemporary dance is constantly evolving. Its landscape has transformed and developed significantly over the past 30 years, slowly shifting from a repertoire company scene to a diverse freelance environment. In this idiosyncratic milieu, the breadth of skills that dancers need to master is constantly becoming more complex. Given that emerging contemporary dancers will be encountering the new reality of an increasingly heterogeneous freelance environment, how should training institutions best prepare students for this paradigm shift? To address this challenge, I began developing ‘The Porous Body’, a structure of feeling that promotes the practice of heightened physical and mental malleability by following four fundamental guiding principles: flow, playfulness, metaphor and paradox. Sourcing from my own performative, choreographic and pedagogical practices, and the work of dance artists, movement practitioners, philosophers and psychologists from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, I will formulate this method while sharing anecdotal feedback collected from dancers with whom I have recently experimented with this concept of physical and mental malleability.
Learning to dance in the twenty-first century: Skinner Releasing Technique as technology of becoming, within a new materialist frame
Authors: Le Quesne Lizzy 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This article considers Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) within a frame of new materialist thinking and ethics, with particular regard to Rosi Braidotti’s posthumanist call for emancipated nomadic subjects to create sustainable futures in the anthropocene. I will draw parallels between this theory and SRT as a process of becoming through dance, uniquely placed to reposition and develop meaning, skills and knowledge within dance for the twenty-first century.
