Creativity, craft and Christmas: Textual negotiations and the politics of Kirstie’s Crafty Christmas
Authors: Warner Helen 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
In April 2013 the United Kingdom’s Department of Culture, Media and Sport announced plans to remove ‘craft’ from the list of recognized creative industries, initially claiming that craft occupations have more to do with technical skill than creativity. Concerns were immediately raised within the craft sector that such changes would cause a shift in the symbolic meaning of craft that would in turn devalue the industry and render its workers invisible. Yet precisely at the moment in which visibility was thought to be at risk, the craft sector was experiencing global hypervisibility within mainstream and online media spaces. This article examines the precise nature of this media visibility at a time of political uncertainty and contends that an investigation into the symbolic meaning of craft cannot overlook the importance of representational culture. Consequently, media studies offers a unique lens through which to examine the politics of craft and contribute meaningful responses to the following questions: how is the meaning of craft articulated in the symbolic environment at a time of political contestation? What is the role of gender in the mediated representation of craftwork? These questions inform the analysis of a specific example of representational culture: Kirstie’s Crafty Christmas (2013). This one-off episode documents Allsopp’s attempts to source handmade gifts and decorations from UK craft workers and enables the concerns above to be raised within a very specific context: the Christmas festival. Both craft and festive rituals blur boundaries between work/leisure and public/private in similar ways, which in the case of craft becomes problematic for policy-makers. In the case of Kirstie’s Crafty Christmas, this blurring of boundaries promotes problematic (gendered) hierarchies that position the work of micro-entrepreneurs as necessary, domestic unpaid labour and in so doing, privatize and deskill women’s home-based creative work.

Gilligan and Captain Kirk have more in common than you think: 1960s Camp TV as an alternative genealogy for Cult TV
Authors: Phillips W. D. , Pinedo Isabel 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
A number of mid-1960s prime-time television programmes such as Batman (1966–69) and The Monkees (1966–68) seemed to not just allow, but encourage viewing practices that transcended the infantilized conceptualization of that era’s television audiences. This article argues such programmes constitute a significant and unhistoricized set of predecessors to contemporary Cult TV. Analysing audience interpretive practices and the set of textual characteristics that facilitated and encouraged such participatory and interpretive activities, we also identify a relatively cohesive group of programmes, all of which premiered in that period, that we retrospectively nominate as ‘Camp TV’. These shows’ distinguishing narrative elements, namely the surreal humour of Green Acres (1965–71), satire of Get Smart (1965–70), exaggerated clichés of Batman (1966–69) and anarchic character of The Monkees appealed to a youth audience and lent themselves to multiple readings and viewing practices similar to those that would come to greater fruition with the later development of Cult TV.
On The Wire: An analysis of ‘the most accurate presentation’ of a newsroom ever
Authors: Ferrucci Patrick , Painter Chad E. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
This article investigates how fictional print journalists were portrayed on the HBO drama The Wire (2002–08). Portrayals of journalism on television can influence audience perceptions of real-life journalists. The researchers utilized textual analysis of all ten episodes aired during The Wire’s fifth season, paying special attention to latent meanings of verbal and visual features. Key themes that emerged and were explored include the relationship between The Baltimore Sun and other city institutions, editors as teachers, journalists having to do more with less and tensions in the newsroom. These findings are interpreted through the lens of cultivation theory. The researchers suggest that The Wire depicts journalism as a powerful yet morally decaying occupation. With public trust in journalists and journalism at an all-time low, and considering the critical lauds of realism that The Wire has received, this depiction could cause viewers to form or reinforce negative stereotypes about journalists and the field of journalism.
Troubling images? The re-presentation of disabled womanhood: Britain’s Missing Top Model
Authors: Wilde Alison 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Britain’s Missing Top Model (2008) was a reality television programme which provided unprecedented opportunities to present disabled women in ways which deconstructed old stereotypes and offered new understandings of beauty, value and competency. Set within wider discussions of the possibilities afforded by reality television, this article analyses the programme’s portrayal of the contestants, exploring their presentation as potential models, their place in ‘expert’ discourses of value and competency, and the re-articulations of impairment-based stereotypes of disabled womanhood. Despite any aesthetic gains in the representation of disabled womanhood, the article concludes by suggesting the show was shaped around a moral hierarchy of impairment-based differences, which worked to de-sexualize disabled women, out-contextualize disabling forces, and re-inscribe non-disabled ‘normalities’.
No time like the past: Hearing nostalgia in The Twilight Zone
Authors: Wissner Reba A. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
One of Rod Serling’s favourite topics of exploration in The Twilight Zone (1959–64) is nostalgia, which pervaded many of the episodes of the series. Although Serling himself often looked back upon the past wishing to regain it, he did, however, understand that we often see things looking back that were not there and that the past is often idealized. Like Serling, many ageing characters in The Twilight Zone often look back or travel to the past to reclaim what they had lost. While this is a pervasive theme in the plots, in these episodes the music which accompanies the scores depict the reality of the past, showing that it is not as wonderful as the character imagined. Often, music from these various situations is reused within the same context, allowing for a stock music collection of music of nostalgia from the series. This article discusses the music of nostalgia in The Twilight Zone and the ways in which the music depicts the reality of the harshness of the past. By feeding into their own longing for the reclamation of the past, the writers and composers of these episodes remind us that what we remember is not always what was there.
Traditions, festivities and finales: The changing role and reception of the Downton Abbey Christmas special
Authors: Wright Andrea 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The popularity of Downton Abbey (2010–15), especially its international success, has fascinated and divided commentators and journalists. Subsequently a growing American audience, which culminated in record viewing figures for the fourth season, encouraged discussion of what the appeal of the show might be. Importantly, the increased trans-Atlantic demand impacted upon the programme’s content and can be charted most obviously via the ‘Christmas specials’. These feature-length episodes were first screened on Christmas Day in the United Kingdom and acted as a season finale for American viewers in February. The first was a hyperbole of Christmas past that was enthusiastically received by the British press. Romance in the snow, a ghost and bustling festivities suited the 25 December screening, but was out-of-season across the Atlantic and, as Derek Johnston has noted, the inclusion of a supernatural element struck some US reviewers as odd. The subsequent specials have been less seasonally related, with the 2014 and 2015 episodes only returning to a Christmas setting at the end and, although strongly reliant on traditions and nostalgia, seem far more mindful of US scheduling. Interestingly, they have also gained less praise from the British press. This article will consider the shifting themes and tone of the Downton Abbey Christmas special and the British and American critical reception in order to explore the challenges of negotiating domestic and international appeal.

This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out to determine opinions and cultural sensitivities of midwives and nurses about providing health care to women seeking asylum. The universe of the research was 491 midwives and nurses worked in this hospital. 216 midwives and nurses were included in the study. A questionnaire and the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS) were used in the data collection process. 69.4 % of the participants stated they had given care to asylum seekers before. 28.2 % of them reported they felt helpless, 22.5 % felt pity, 15.5 % felt anger, resentment. The ISS mean score of the participants was 75.73+10.1 It was determined in the study that 97.3 % of the participants providing care to asylum seekers had difficulties, and that language problem was the biggest challenge. The participants suggested that the units offering services to asylum seekers should be separate, the personnel should be trained on this matter, and that service guides should be improved for the solution of the problems.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
Hydrogen can be one of the key elements as source of future energy requirement. Water splitting reaction is an important route for generation of hydrogen as maximum fraction of hydrogen constitute in water. The present work describes the experimental investigation for generation of hydrogen through water splitting reaction in flow conditions with the aid of metal aluminum and sodium hydroxide as an activator. The hydrogen generation through water splitting reaction at various concentrations of NaOH, viz. 0.5 N and 1 N and the flow rates ranging from 0.2 to 10 ml/min was studied. The yield of hydrogen generated is reported for each NaOH concentration and flow rate. The yield of hydrogen generated at all the considered concentrations and flow rates was found to be greater than 98 %. The shrinking core model has been modified and developed for predicting the conversion of aluminum in the reaction system as per the prevailing conditions and rate controlling mechanism. The RMSE value of predicted conversion of Al was found to be 0.0351 which signify that the model agrees well with the experimental data.

AbstractBackground:Peripheral neuropathy is the dose limiting side effect of many anticancer drugs. Flavonoids exhibit good antinociceptive effect in animal models. Their efficacy against different types of nociception has been documented. The present study investigated the effect of flavonol (3-hydroxy flavone), 3′,4′-dimethoxy flavonol, 6,3′-dimethoxy flavonol, 7,2′-dimethoxy flavonol and 7,3′-dimethoxy flavonol against paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in mice.Methods:A single dose of paclitaxel (10 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered to induce peripheral neuropathy in mice and the manifestations of peripheral neuropathy such as tactile allodynia, cold allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were assessed 24 h later by employing Von Frey hair aesthesiometer test, acetone bubble test and hot water tail immersion test, respectively. The test compounds were prepared as a suspension in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose and were administered s.c. in various doses (25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg). The above behavioral responses were assessed prior to and 30 min after drug treatment. In addition, the effect of test compounds on proinflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β) and free radicals was investigated by using suitablein vitroassays.Results:A dose-dependent attenuation of tactile allodynia, cold allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia was evidenced in mice treated with flavonol derivatives. The test compounds inhibited TNF-α, IL-1β and free radicals in a concentration-dependent manner.Conclusions:These results revealed that flavonol and its dimethoxy derivatives ameliorated the manifestations of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in mice. The inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines and free radicals could contribute to this beneficial effect.
An Exploration of Equine-Assisted Therapy to Improve Balance, Functional Capacity, and Cognition in Older Adults With Alzheimer Disease

Published: April 2018

Background and Purpose:
Alzheimer disease (AD) is a chronic, progressive dementia syndrome that features cognitive and behavioral symptoms, as well as physical and functional limitations that develop over the course of the disease. As an activity that involves physical and cognitive aspects, equine-assisted therapy (EAT) could be a useful therapeutic approach in conditions that involve physical and cognitive decline. However, to date, there are no reports of the use of this therapy in participants with AD. Within this context, the objective of this case series was to describe the effects of EAT on balance, functional capacity, and cognition in older adults diagnosed with AD.

Methods:
We enrolled 9 participants, of both sexes, with a mean age of 79.7 (7.8) years and a diagnosis of AD. The study intervention comprised 20 sessions of EAT. We evaluated participants at baseline and at the end of the intervention. Outcome measures were balance (force plate), functional capacity (Timed Up and Go test and 30-second chair stand test), and cognition (verbal fluency and Mini-Mental State Examination).

Results:
Comparison between the pre- and postintervention time points (Wilcoxon test) revealed significant improvements in balance (center of pressure in the anterior-posterior direction, P = .017) and functional capacity (Timed Up and Go test, P = .036, and 30-second chair stand test, P = .012).

Conclusion:
These findings provide evidence of an association between EAT and improved balance and functional capacity in older adults with AD, with no significant impact on cognitive performance.
Reliability and Validity of the Patient-Specific Functional Scale in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Authors: Mathis Ruth Ann , Taylor J. David , Odom Brian H. , Lairamore Chad 
Published: April 2018

Background and Purpose:
Clinical measurement of physical function that is both specific to the individual and generates comparable outcome data is a fundamental need in physical therapy examination. The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) has been found to be a reliable and valid measure of physical function in patients with musculoskeletal disorders and may have applications for other patient populations. However, the reliability and the validity of the PSFS have not been evaluated in older adults. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and the validity of the PSFS in community-dwelling older adults.

Methods:
Thirty-one community-dwelling older adults (11 males, 20 females), mean age = 81.1 (8.3) years, were included. Participants completed the PSFS, Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Activity-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Berg Balance Scale, and the Timed Up and Go on 2 separate days, 48 hours apart. Assessment scores were compared between testing days and reliability was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and minimal detectable change (MDC). Validity of the PSFS was assessed by comparing initial scores with the other measures using the Pearson correlation coefficient, scatter plots, and Bland-Altman plots.

Results:
The ICC and the MDC for the PSFS were 0.82 (95% confidence interval = 0.67-0.91) and 2.8, respectively. Significant correlations (P < .05) were found when the PSFS was compared with the ABC (r = 0.68), LEFS (r = 0.81), and SPPB (r = 0.37). Bland-Altman plots and 95% limits of agreement (LOA) using z scores indicated considerable agreement between the PSFS versus the ABC (LOA =−1.6 to 1.6), LEFS (LOA =−1.2 to 1.2), and SPPB (LOA =−2.1 to 2.1).

Conclusion:
The PSFS is a reliable and valid measure of physical function in community-dwelling older adults. A change of 2.8 or greater on the PSFS suggests a true change in physical function in this population.
