A Teacher Goes Gothic: Walter White, Heisenberg, and the Dark Revenge of Science
Authors: McGrail J. Patrick , McGrail Ewa , Rieger Alicja 
Published: December 2018

AbstractMuch has been written on the natures and personalities of teachers in educational research and publications (Carter 2009; Beck 2012; Bulman 2015; Dalton 2013; Gillard 2012; Kelly and Caughlan 2011). However, mass media can have a powerful influence on how people see teachers. The television series Breaking Bad (Gilligan 2008–2013) and its representation of teachers, has contributed a unique—if warped—perspective on the subject of teachers and teaching in America. In this article, we argue that three important Gothic and mythic fables from literature are harbingers of Walter White and his transformation: the Faust legend, as told by Christopher Marlowe (1604), the tale of Victor Frankenstein and his monster, by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1818) and Robert Louis Stevenson's famous character, Mr. Edward Hyde (1886). We note that the comparisons, while apt, are imperfect, and we discuss their philosophical, social and literary implications.
Beauvoir's Ambiguity and Unruly Bodies
Authors: Blum Elaine M. 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
The aim of this project is to account for why we often denigrate intersex and trans bodies as disruptive and threatening. Within a binary understanding of sex and gender, we might call these bodies unruly. They deviate from what is normal but also challenge the very conceptions of normality. Appropriating Simone de Beauvoir's concept of ambiguity as the “paradox of man,” I argue that intersex and trans bodies unsettle us because they reflect the freedom of the body and our associated responsibility in choosing how we live the body. We denigrate these individuals from within a spirit of seriousness, claiming that sex and gender are absolute to abdicate any responsibility for them. That is, we denounce unruly bodies in an attempt to flee from the freedom and responsibility of our own bodies.
African Views of Just War in Mandela and Cabral
Authors: Cordeiro-Rodrigues Luis 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
In this article, I will carry out an epistemic and interpretative project, drawing out the implications of African values for the morality of war. More precisely, I wish to interpret the African value system and tease out some conclusions as to what this value system entails in terms of the following: the morality of when to enter war, how to act in war, and what to do after war. I carry out this inquiry by articulating the African value of Ubuntu in light of the actions and speeches of two prominent African leaders, Nelson Mandela and Amilcar Cabral.
La segregación laboral vertical y horizontal. Elementos estructurales del mercado laboral hondureño: 2001, 2005 y 2010
Authors: Calix Martha Lilian 
Published: December 2018

La segregación laboral vertical y horizontal es una problemática internacional que atañe a todos los países con mayor o menor intensidad. En el caso de Honduras no es un hecho cíclico, mucho menos estacional pues esta irregularidad se ha sostenido a lo largo de los años; como lo evidencian los recuentos de la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares de Propósitos Múltiples (EPHPM) realizada por el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (INE) de los años 2001, 2005, 2010. Los desajustes en la distribución de las mujeres y los hombres en las ocupaciones laborales pueden verificarse por un índice de segregación. Este método ampliamente empleado en investigaciones fue creado en 1955 por Duncan y Duncan. Con base en los datos censales, o encuestas de hogares, el método concede la posibilidad de verificar la clasificación de la fuerza laboral, asimismo demostrar el grado en el que difiere la participación relativa de los hombres y las mujeres. Indicadores como ocupación principal de la PEA, reveló que el sector primario, en el ámbito rural, sostiene una alta concentración de mano de obra masculina, lo cual remarca el índice de disimilitud laboral. Para el período de estudio alcanzó valores porcentuales entre 54.8% y 64.7%. Con relación a los ingresos monetarios, las cifras demostraron que en las grandes ciudades (Tegucigalpa-Comayagüela y San Pedro Sula), en promedio, los hombres son mejor retribuidos que el resto de los grupos en los dominios complementarios. La aplicación del índice de Duncan dejó ver la cuantificación del fenómeno de la segregación laboral, así como el estrecho vínculo, del mismo, con los tradicionales patrones de género. De igual manera la concentración de mano de obra masculina en las ocupaciones del primer sector de la economía; agricultura, ganadería y trabajos agropecuarios; la fuerza laboral de los hombres es altamente representativa en el área textil, albañilería y mecánica. La mano de obra femenina en el área rural está absolutamente excluida de las tareas de transporte.
Movimientos migratorios internos del Distrito Central y San Pedro Sula en Honduras, 1988-2013
Authors: Flores Fonseca Manuel Antonio 
Published: December 2018

El estudio de la migración interna en el país ha sido relegado por la notoriedad que ha tenido la migración internacional. Los datos reflejan que en Honduras hay una tendencia al aumento en el número de migrantes internos en las últimas seis décadas, pero más recientemente a partir de la mitad de ese período hay una disminución de la proporción de migrantes. Este artículo con carácter descriptivo muestra el fenómeno migratorio interno partiendo de datos censales a nivel de División Administrativa Menor (DAME) que en este caso es el Municipio. Es de apuntar que la cuantía de la migración absoluta y reciente a nivel de DAME supera a los niveles estimados a nivel de División Administrativa Mayor Departamental (DAM), ya que cuando el nivel geográfico es más reducido hay mayores probabilidades de desplazamiento. Si hay una mayor similitud en las migraciones recientes que en las absolutas a nivel de DAM y DAME, producto de la utilización de un período de referencia más cercano a la fecha de empadronamiento. En Honduras los dos municipios de mayor atractivo migratorio, absoluta y reciente, han sido el Distrito Central y San Pedro Sula. Sin embargo, la primacía migratoria de estos dos municipios ha cambiado espectacularmente al convertirse en divisiones con saldos migratorios recientes negativos, especialmente en San Pedro Sula (municipio con el más alto saldo migratorio negativo reciente del país), y en menor medida también el Distrito Central, aunque ambos reciben y envían fuertes contingentes de migrantes entre ellos, a su vez tienen intercambios a DAME cercanas y lejanas.

De Mededingingswet en de onderkant van de arbeidsmarkt
Het grote aantal zzp’ers in Nederland groeit nog steeds, mede door de komst van online platforms en de kluseconomie. Dit artikel verkent hoe de voordelen van een flexibele arbeidsmarkt kunnen worden gecombineerd met het verhinderen van sociale dumping in situaties van monopsonie. Het beschermen van schijnzelfstandigen door cao-afspraken, zoals voorzien in het arrest FNV KIEM, biedt niet in alle situaties voldoende duidelijkheid en soelaas. Alternatieven smoren mogelijk de ontwikkeling van nieuwe vormen van ondernemerschap. De auteurs bezien daarom welke ruimte de Mededingingswet aanvullend zou kunnen bieden voor het invoeren van goed onderbouwde minimumtarieven als variant met de minste schadelijke bijwerkingen.

De elektronische betekening van gerechtelijke mededelingen: kanttekeningen bij een betrekkelijk nieuwe regeling
De auteur concludeert dat wanneer de huidige regeling van de e-betekening in ongewijzigde vorm in Hoofdstuk 9 van Boek 1 van het nieuwe Wetboek van Strafvordering zou worden opgenomen en in werking zal treden, niet verwacht mag worden dat deze in de praktijk enige toegevoegde waarde zal hebben. Bovendien kan worden geconcludeerd dat de regeling dermate techniekafhankelijk is geformuleerd dat deze in de weg staat aan de toepassing van een handige en gebruikersvriendelijke voorziening als de Berichtenbox app. Wenselijk is de regeling te herzien met als vertrekpunt dat het elektronisch ontvangen van gerechtelijke kennisgevingen geen geheel vrijblijvende aangelegenheid is voor de justitiabele. Het invoeren van een verplichting tot elektronische ontvangst voert wellicht te ver. Voorgesteld wordt aan een eenmaal gegeven instemming voor het elektronische ontvangen van gerechtelijke kennisgevingen de consequentie te verbinden dat de verzending van een kennisgeving door het Openbaar Ministerie voldoende is om een betekening in persoon aan te nemen. Dat zal het geval kunnen zijn indien de werking van de te gebruiken voorziening een grote mate van zekerheid biedt dat de kennisgeving de juiste persoon bereikt, dat – behoudens de mogelijkheid van een verstoring – de aan de persoon verzonden kennisgeving (doordat hij hiervan langs verschillende kanalen wordt genotificeerd) de persoon niet zal kunnen ontgaan en dat de verzending op bij wet voorschreven wijze wordt gelogd en in machinaal gegenereerde standaardverklaringen wordt vastgelegd opdat de rechter – mocht dit nodig zijn – de e-betekening kan controleren.
A Comparison of Factors Influencing Health Risk Behaviour of College Students in the Countries of the Carpathian Basin
Authors: Kovács Klára 
Published: December 2018

An examination of the health behaviour of college students is important from several aspects. First, starting and continuing studies, being detached from the family and friends creates a new situation for students (Greene et al. 2001), the decreasing parental control may test the development of self-regulation in a young person. The chances of harmful forms of behaviour, especially binge drinking, increase among students (Von Ah et al. 2004; Hunt & Eisenberg 2010; O’Malley & Johnston 2002). In our study, we intended to find out how individual and socio-economic factors influence the health risk behaviour (smoking, excessive use of alcohol, and drugs) of higher-education students in Central and Eastern European countries. For the analyses, we used a database of the Centre for Higher Education Research and Development (CHERD-H), including the higher education institutions in the border regions of five countries: Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania and Serbia (IESA 2015, N = 2,017). Our results show that although the regions concerned share similar historical and cultural traditions, there are different factors influencing the health behaviour of students in the countries concerned. In general, we may state that, with the exception of Serbia, health risk behaviour is more characteristic of male students than of female ones. It is only in Hungary that subjective financial situations play a role in the health-risk behaviour of students in Hungary. The social-partying way of life is a risk factor in almost all the regions concerned. Recreational activity is a protective factor in Hungary against substance use, just as much as sports among the Subcarpathian students. Being familiar with the meaning of life is a protective factor for the students in the Partium and Transylvania. The level and different dimension of individual trust has an inconsistent influence in the specific countries.
Molecular Testing Strategies for Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma: An Optimal Approach With Cost Analysis
Authors: Layfield Lester J. , Hammer Richard D. , White Sandra K. , Furtado Larissa V. , Schmidt Robert L. 
Published: December 2018

Context.—
Molecular analysis of lung adenocarcinoma for therapeutically important genes is standard of practice, with multiple professional organizations recommending testing of all adenocarcinomas for mutations in EGFR, ALK, and ROS1. Some organizations recommend analyzing these genes in association with a panel. Few data exist as to optimal testing method or optimal sequence of testing from a cost perspective.

Objective.—
To determine which order of gene testing was least costly and whether sequential, small panel, or next-generation sequencing (NGS) was cheapest.

Design.—
Recent recommendations propose a set of essential molecular tests (EGFR, ALK, and ROS1) and an optional set of molecular tests that may be useful for selection of clinical trials. We compared the costs of different testing sequencing strategies for both the 3 essential genes and for 5 optimal genes. Testing costs were determined by a survey of prices from large laboratories. The strategy most frequently rated as the lowest cost strategy was designated the optimal testing strategy.

Results.—
Sequential testing of the essential genes in the order EGFR-ROS1-ALK was optimal from a cost perspective. The expected cost of sequential testing was $2227 (95% CI, $1733–$2794). The cost of NGS was $2500. The expected cost per positive result was $11,362 using this strategy.

Conclusions.—
Molecular testing of lung adenocarcinomas for the set of 3 essential genes and 5 optional genes can be performed by a variety of methods and in a variety of sequences. From a cost perspective, sequential testing in the order EGFR, ROS1, then ALK is optimal. NGS would be competitive if the price was less than $2200. NGS is optimal if testing for the 3 essential genes will be followed by testing for the 5 optional genes. NGS testing is optimal if the clinician plans to test both essential and optional genes.
Keepers of the Bio Art Laboratory: Mangling Methods and Curating Critically
Authors: Legassie Treva Michelle 
Published: December 2018

Cet article se concentre sur la pratique en plein essor du bio-art, afin d’envisager les possibilités de faire du commissariat au sein de deux sphères de productions culturelles en apparence disparates, celles du laboratoire scientifique et du musée. Dans une analyse des oeuvres du Tissue Culture & Art Project (TC&A), de Kathy High et de Jennifer Willet, il décortique les méthodes commissariales qui s’attachent à relocaliser le laboratoire dans le musée et vice-versa. En explorant ce phénomène de transversalité à travers les figures du « mangle » et du « biotheatre », le texte fait valoir que les pratiques du bio-art font intrinsèquement appel à des stratégies créatrices et commissariales qui ébranlent la perception de stérile objectivité des laboratoires et qui permettent de critiquer les paradigmes de la culture scientifique.

Cette démarche interroge les théories de l’expérience qui fondent tacitement les modèles d’apprentissage proposés par Mezirow. La discussion ainsi ouverte s’inscrit dans les espaces de controverse et de dialogue entre les courants du pragmatisme, de l’herméneutique critique et de la recherche biographique.
Temporally specific engagement of distinct neuronal circuits regulating olfactory habituation in Drosophila
Authors: Semelidou Ourania , Acevedo Summer F , Skoulakis Efthimios MC 
Published: December 2018

Habituation is the process that enables salience filtering, precipitating perceptual changes that alter the value of environmental stimuli. To discern the neuronal circuits underlying habituation to brief inconsequential stimuli, we developed a novel olfactory habituation paradigm, identifying two distinct phases of the response that engage distinct neuronal circuits. Responsiveness to the continuous odor stimulus is maintained initially, a phase we term habituation latency and requires Rutabaga Adenylyl-Cyclase-depended neurotransmission from GABAergic Antennal Lobe Interneurons and activation of excitatory Projection Neurons (PNs) and the Mushroom Bodies. In contrast, habituation depends on the inhibitory PNs of the middle Antenno-Cerebral Track, requires inner Antenno-Cerebral Track PN activation and defines a temporally distinct phase. Collectively, our data support the involvement of Lateral Horn excitatory and inhibitory stimulation in habituation. These results provide essential cellular substrates for future analyses of the molecular mechanisms that govern the duration and transition between these distinct temporal habituation phases.Editorial note: This article has been through an editorial process in which the authors decide how to respond to the issues raised during peer review. The Reviewing Editor's assessment is that all the issues have been addressed (<xref ref-type="decision-letter" rid="SA1">see decision letter</xref>).
Application of insect-proof nets in pesticide-free rice creates an altered microclimate and differential agronomic performance
Authors: Yang Guoying , Guo Zhi , Ji Hongting , Sheng Jing , Chen Liugen , Zhao Yanwen 
Published: December 2018

BackgroundInsect-proof nets are commonly used in crop production and scientific research because of their environmental, economic, and agronomic benefits. However, insect-proof nets can unintentionally alter the microclimate inside the screenhouse and therefore greatly affect plant growth and yield. To examine the microclimate and agronomic performance of pesticide-free rice under insect-proof nets, two-year field experiments were carried out in 2011 and 2012.MethodsIn the present study, the experiment was conducted by using a split-plot design considering the cultivation environment (open field cultivation (OFC) and insect-proof nets cultivation (IPNC)) as the main plot and the varieties as the subplot (Suxiangjing3 and Nanjing44).ResultsIPNC significantly reduced the air speed and solar radiation, and slightly increased the daytime soil temperature, daytime air temperature, and nighttime relative humidity. By contrast, the nighttime soil temperature, nighttime air temperature, and daytime relative humidity were relatively unaffected. The grain yield of both rice cultivars decreased significantly under IPNC, which was largely attributed to the reduced panicle number. The reduced panicle number was largely associated with the decreased maximum tiller number, which was positively correlated with the tillering rate, time of tillering onset, and tillering cessation for both rice cultivars under IPNC. In addition, dry matter accumulation significantly decreased for both rice cultivars under IPNC, which was mainly caused by the decreased leaf area duration resulting from the reduced leaf area index. By contrast, the mean net assimilation rate was relatively unaffected by IPNC.DiscussionInsect-proof nets altered the microclimate in comparison with OFC by reducing the air speed and changing the radiation regime, which significantly affected dry matter production and yield of both japonica rice cultivars. Our results indicated that cultivation measures that could increase the tillering rate and the maximum tiller number under IPNC would lead to a significant increase in panicle number, ultimately increasing grain yield. In addition, maintaining a high leaf area duration by increasing the leaf area index would be important to compensate for the dry matter accumulation losses under IPNC. These findings are critical to provide a theoretical basis for improving agronomic performance of pesticide-free rice under IPNC.
Reversible Underwater Dry Adhesion of a Shape Memory Polymer
Authors: Park Jun Kyu , Eisenhaure Jeffrey D. , Kim Seok 
Published: December 2018

AbstractDry adhesives are believed to be inadequate to achieve high adhesion to a wet or submerged surface due to liquid layers intercalated at the contact interface. Here, the reversible dry adhesion of a thermoresponsive shape memory polymer (SMP) performing under water and other liquids such as oil is presented. It is revealed that applying pressure to the SMP in its compliant rubbery state enables to squeeze out the liquid from its contact interface, and that the interface is then maintained by fixing the SMPs shape in its glassy state. During this conformal and hermetic contact condition, the rigidity of the glassy state SMP provides remarkably high (≈18 atm, atmosphere) underwater yet dry adhesion. Lastly, the permanent shape recovery of the SMP allows a surrounding liquid to quickly squeeze in and separate the contact interface, which makes the SMP almost adhesiveless. These findings pave the way for inexpensive reversible dry adhesives working on submerged surfaces.

AbstractA method for the preparation of chiral triarylmethanes via organocatalytic 1,6‐addition of arylboronic acids to para‐quinone methides (p‐QMs) was established. Here the use of salicylaldehyde‐derived p‐QMs with an ortho‐hydroxy substituent as a directing group was essential for the remote stereocontrol. In the presence of a BINOL catalyst, chiral triarylmethanes can be obtained in high yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). This method shows broad substrate tolerance and can be easily scaled up, both electron‐rich and electron‐deficient arylboronic acids are suitable substrates for this addition reaction.magnified image
BDNF, endurance activity, and mechanisms underlying the evolution of hominin brains
Authors: Hill Tyler , Polk John D. 
Published: December 2018

AbstractObjectivesAs a complex, polygenic trait, brain size has likely been influenced by a range of direct and indirect selection pressures for both cognitive and non‐cognitive functions and capabilities. It has been hypothesized that hominin brain expansion was, in part, a correlated response to selection acting on aerobic capacity (Raichlen & Polk, 2013). According to this hypothesis, selection for aerobic capacity increased the activity of various signaling molecules, including those involved in brain growth. One key molecule is brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that regulates neuronal development, survival, and plasticity in mammals. This review updates, partially tests, and expands Raichlen and Polk's (2013) hypothesis by evaluating evidence for BDNF as a mediator of brain size.DiscussionWe contend that selection for endurance capabilities in a hot climate favored changes to muscle composition, mitochondrial dynamics and increased energy budget through pathways involving regulation of PGC‐1α and MEF2 genes, both of which promote BDNF activity. In addition, the evolution of hairlessness and the skin's thermoregulatory response provide other molecular pathways that promote both BDNF activity and neurotransmitter synthesis. We discuss how these pathways contributed to the evolution of brain size and function in human evolution and propose avenues for future research. Our results support Raichlen and Polk's contention that selection for non‐cognitive functions has direct mechanistic linkages to the evolution of brain size in hominins.
