Illegitimate Elites and the Politics of Belonging at a Korean University
Authors: Kim Stephanie K. 
Published: May 2018

AbstractUniversities are undergoing a transformation in which higher learning intersects with a class of cosmopolitan elites. Certainly within South Korea, universities are launching international colleges as a way to position themselves as choice institutions that cater to elite students seeking global opportunities. Yet little work has been done to examine what happens to the students within these spaces of globality and privilege. This article reveals the interconnections between globalizing higher education and the global aspirations of Korean youth by focusing on the students who enter into an international learning space of a Korean university that itself desires global status. Not quite accepted by the other students but still considered an elite group, these individuals have to negotiate complex campus-based norms where the risk of marginalization from key social networks is magnified by the university’s pursuit of global status. Meanwhile, the university transforms into an ideological battleground and a critical site in the construction of social membership in South Korea.

Published: May 2018

Background: Hookworms infect the intestines, cause an itchy rash, respiratory and gastrointestinal problems, and eventually iron deficiency (anaemia) due to the ongoing loss of blood. The objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence and molecular characterization of hookworms isolated from food handlers attending the Public Health Laboratories in Khartoum state, Sudan, for annual check-ups, and to assess the efficiency of PCR as molecular probe for hookworm infection. Methods: A total of 350 foods handlers’ participant's stool samples who were not suspected to be infected with hookworms were studied. Conventional methods were applied to make an early diagnosis. Stool samples were collected from public health laboratories (the public health lab in the Medical Commission) of Khartoum State; Omdurman locality, Khartoum North locality and Khartoum locality between October 2016 and April 2017. Specific identification was made by PCR on specimens identified as positive by Baermann’s technique, which were then sequence and genotyped Results: The prevalence of hookworms in the stool samples of food-handlers was 1.43%. One larval specimen recovered by Baermann’s technique was confirmed to be Necator americanus by PCR. PCR also confirmed that Necator americanus was the common species isolated from four further specimens. The results of DNA sequencing for Necator americanus were deposited in NCBI GenBank under the following accession numbers: sample 91, MH035824; sample 92, MH035825; sample 294, MH035826; and sample 319 MH035827. Conclusion: PCR was found to be effective for confirmation of the diagnosis of hookworm infection and can aid the clinician in initiating prompt and appropriate antiparasite therapy.

Authors: Scott Ros , Jindal-Snape Divya , Manwaring Gaye 
Published: May 2018

Aim: To explore the relationship between volunteering and the sustainability of UK voluntary hospices. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted to inform the development of a theoretical model. Eight databases were searched: CINAHL (EBSCO), British Nursing Index, Intute: Health and Life Sciences, ERIC, SCOPUS, ASSIA (CSA), Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. Results: A total of 90 documents were analysed. Emerging themes included the importance of volunteering to the hospice economy and workforce, the quality of services, and public and community support. Findings suggest that hospice sustainability is dependent on volunteers; however, the supply and retention of volunteers is affected by internal and external factors. Conclusions: A theoretical model was developed to illustrate the relationship between volunteering and hospice sustainability. It demonstrates the factors necessary for hospice sustainability and the reciprocal impact that these factors and volunteering have on each other. The model has a practical application as an assessment framework and strategic planning tool.
Finding employment and living a good life in London
Authors: Price Chris 
Published: May 2018

This is one inner London charity’s story of working alongside people living on a low income. Pecan has worked for over 25 years in the community, with a focus on helping people out of the clutches of poverty through helping people to build the skills and confidence to secure work. But is work able to pay enough in London considering the rising cost of living in London? Drawing on the experiences of some people who have been in touch with Pecan and its projects, the chapter argues that while Pecan does its best to help people find and stay in employment through expert advice and emotional support, the structural difficulties posed by labour and housing market changes, which result in income and housing insecurities, can prevent people from shifting to a more stable position in their lives.
Including Individuals With Disabilities in UDL Framework Implementation: Insights From Administrators
Authors: Lowrey K. Alisa , Smith Sean J. 
Published: May 2018

AbstractIn 2015, the AAIDD National Goals panel recommended the inclusion of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework in services designed to support the needs of learners with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). As a framework that can be implemented district/schoolwide, little is known about the implementation process and administrators' experiences with implementation. Less is known regarding the experiences of administrators' as they implement the framework with learners who struggle or have identified disabilities. To better understand these experiences in implementation, researchers conducted interviews with eighteen school principals/district personnel in a district recognized for fully implementing UDL. A subset of questions from these interviews focused specifically on efforts in implementation to include the needs of learners that are struggling or that have identified disabilities. This research analyzes responses from those administrators specific to supporting students with disabilities. Findings are shared, including those specific to the inclusion of individuals with IDD. Implications for future research and practice are provided.

Published: May 2018

AbstractAlthough solving word problems involves both literacy and mathematics skills, research to date has only targeted mathematical learning. This study sought to increase teaching efficiency by embedding literacy instruction within mathematical word problem solving instruction for three elementary students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A multiple probe across participants design showed a functional relation between modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) and mathematical word problem solving. All participants increased knowledge of nontargeted literacy skills using instructive feedback, and two participants demonstrated a further increase following the use of constant-time delay (CTD). The results highlight several implications for practice regarding the feasibility of MSBI with instructive feedback to simultaneously address multiple academic domains or skills. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
Examinations carried out in relation to the shopping habits and satisfaction of costumers in the shops of Coop Szeged LTD.

Published: May 2018

Different shop types have different life cycles: introduction, growth, stagnation and decline. The form of supermarkets is in a stage of decline in each EU country.ÂÂÂ For customers coming to the supermarkets of Coop Co., in Szeged is typical to do their shopping every day or more times a week. Shoppers come to do mainly their daily shopping in the shops. The main reasons for choosing them were the wide range of goods and the suitable accessibility of shops. Coop has its own brand which is very popular with customers. There are customers who directly come to the shops to buy products with this brand. Shoppers would extend the range of products with Coop-brand and also would like to see longer opening hours. The customer segment involves people living close to the shops. Our questionnaire survey supports these statements.

Published: May 2018

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of microfiltration (MF) on the antioxidant capacity of elderberry juice using ceramic membrane. Previous to MF measurements preliminary examination was achieved with different enzymes. Four different samples were prepared: one without any enzyme and three with different pectolytic enzymes. The resistances were determined using the resistance-in-series model and difference between four enzyme-treated samples are evaluated. The effect of this technology on the antioxidant component of the clarified elderberry juice has been evaluated in permeate and retentate samples. For ferric reducing antioxidant power was measured with FRAP and total phenolic content (TPC) was determined with Folin Ciocalteau reagent. The total anthocyanin content (TAC) was estimated using spectrophotometric method. Higher juice yield was obtained using enzyme compared with enzyme-free elderberry pulp. The analytical results show that the MF membrane retained the valuable components in different rate. Significant losses are believed to have occurred after the MF clarification process due to fouling layer resistance, what can be decreased with pectolytic enzymes treatment.

According to the EU Council Directive 2001/111/EC, related to certain sugars intended for human consumption, a great attention is paid to color in sugar. On the other hand, the non-sucrose compounds having intensive color tend to build into the sucrose crystals. Since Serbia has to work on the new rules concerned sugar quality and harmonization with EU standards, some investigations on sugar crystals are carried out at the request of some sugar factories. Investigations are carried out on sugar crystal size dependence on sugar color and on dissolution rate of different sugar crystal size fractions with the aim to create new sugar products. In this study, sugar samples with different sugar color are divided into 5 fractions by crystal size, defining size distributions. In each fraction the color in solution and the type of color are measured, as well as other relevant physico-chemical parameters. The conclusion is that the sugar color type depends on the crystal size, but sugar crystal solution is not dependent on crystal size except a fraction smaller than 200 mm, which has 30-75% higher sugar color in solution than the other crystal size fractions.
The Legislative Background of the Application of Fermentation Residues to Agricultural Lands in Hungary
Authors: Barczi Attila , Szalai Dániel , Nagy Valéria 
Published: May 2018

The broad presence of biogas plants – facilities using organic wastes and by-products to generate energy – now seems to warrant urgent attention to the land application of by-products (fermentation residues) from biogas plants. In Hungary, this activity can be carried out under statutory conditions, subject to official licensing. The protection provided by law is necessary because an adaptable and sustainable agriculture based on effects and interactions also requires such attention, since the most important natural resource of agriculture is soil, which, by nature, is a conditionally renewable natural resource [1] [2]. Protection of soil means primarily protection of quality: sustainable and adaptable agriculture contributes to retain the ecological functions of soil and its role in the ecosystem [3]. This publication analyses the possibilities and challenges of natural resource management by studying the agricultural use of fermentation residues from biogas plants. In order to be used in agriculture, fermentation residue should be classified according to its character and nutritional value, namely as harmless waste from non-agricultural sources. This substance may have the properties of slurry, and in certain cases it may be classified as a substance with characteristics of waste water/sewage sludge or sewage sludge compost.
Main elements of the preparation of the soil protection plan: detailed laboratory tests of the fermentation residue according to standards and regulations; classification of the fermentation residue on the basis of the measured parameters and the field tests corresponding to the character of fermentation residue according to the relevant legislation. Soil protection plan is prepared by expert based on on-site investigation and laboratory reports. This is the basis of the licensing process.
Land application of fermentation residues therefore requires expert analysis to ensure that the ecological functions of soil are not damaged. This, however, requires that the regulations governing the framework for the conditions of such application are carefully studied and interpreted.
Public awareness about the use of automatic external defibrillator (AED) in giving first aid

Published: May 2018

Abstract

Introduction. Chances for survival of a patient who has suffered from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) depend on a number of factors. One of the most important however, is the time within which the patient is provided with actions to restore normal heart function. In the Guidelines for Resuscitation 2015, The European Resuscitation Council states that defibrillation done within 3-5 minutes since a patient with SCA lost his/her consciousness can increase the survival rate up to 50-70%. However, such a short time of providing help is only achievable through the implementation of universal defibrillation programs and the automatic external defibrillator (AED) devices densely distributed in public places. By contrast, every minute of delay in defibrillation reduces the probability of survival by approximately 10-12% until the hospital discharge.

Aim. The purpose of the research was to elicit the opinions of adult respondents on first aid and the use of automatic external defibrillator (AED).

Material and methods. The research method used in this paper was a diagnostic survey, the technique was a web-based questionnaire, and a research tool was the authors’ own questionnaire survey. The survey was active between April 8, 2016 and May 20, 2016. During this time, 116 opinions were collected.

Results. As many as 77% of respondents declared that they had attended a first aid course, but 21% of them stated that they no longer remembered the knowledge acquired. The number of 63% of respondents did not know what an automatic external defibrillator is. Only 27% of respondents knew that AEDs are public devices, and only 47% believed that using an AED would not worsen the health of the victim.

Conclusions. The availability of AEDs and knowledge of their use are insufficient. Low social awareness and irrational fear of using an AED (fear of deterioration of the victim’s health) support the need for continuing education in this area.
Amendments to the treatment regulations at a psychiatric hospital as the element shaping culture in terms of human rights
Authors: Kmieciak Błażej 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
A psychiatric hospital is a special place. People undergoing treatment are in a unique situation. Mental illness remains a mystery for scientists because we do not know what factors influence its appearance. There were also no drugs that would completely cure the patient, as you never know whether the medicine will affect a particular person. Mental illnesses evoke anxiety and fear of the community. Some patients take disturbing or dangerous actions. Their behaviors are referred to as specific and different ones. A similar situation is caused by the appearance of psychotic symptoms. One should pay attention to delusions and hallucinations here. These symptoms cause the patient’s situation to deteriorate. Ultimately, they can cause dangerous behavior.
It happens that a relative of a patient, who is in such condition, must take action without his/her consent. A similar issue has been analyzed in Poland for almost thirty years. Individual regulations, in exceptional cases, allow for undertaking coercive actions: treating the patient without consent, applying direct coercion. These interventions are controlled. Polish psychiatric legislation is constantly changing (new control institutions are introduced, the role of the family court is increased). This article presents the latest amendments. They are based on the principle of respect for human rights and freedoms.
Una literatura transatlántica (personalmente) malograda: el teatro de Paulino Masip antes y después del exilio
Authors: Pelaz Natalia 
Published: May 2018

Dado el creciente interés en la llamada literatura transatlántica, la producción del exilio español republicano ha sido el blanco de muchas e interesantes aproximaciones críticas. Fuente de los más variados tópicos, la literatura de aquellos individuos o de aquellos grupos que por las condiciones históricas derivadas de la Guerra Civil produjeron en dos o más espacios nacionales sirve como punto de partida para críticos interesados en cuestiones relacionadas con lo nacional, lo cultural o lo transnacional. La gran mayoría de los estudios lidia, sin embargo, con experiencias exitosas, en las cuales el exilio no interrumpió y muchas veces hasta alimentó la creación autoral. Así, son comunes los textos sobre escritores que gozaron de éxito fuera de España. Estos forman parte de un revisionismo postransición, cuyo objetivo es rescatar la memoria de aquellos que se querían olvidados. Sin embargo, hay escritores que no han logrado sobrevivir impunes a la tragedia del exilio, y que han experimentado un cambio sensible en su obra artística y, sobre todo, en su recepción crítica. Tal es el caso del escritor español Paulino Masip, quien pasa de la condición de dramaturgo reconocido en el mundo intelectual de los años treinta, a la de escritor de un sinfín de guiones comerciales para el emergente cine mexicano. Tal vez, sea esta la razón por la que su producción teatral en México quedó ensombrecida e, incluso, ignorada.

Background and Purpose:
Lower-limb strength is required for everyday activities and thus its evaluation has been especially emphasized in older adults. Isokinetic testing is a criterion standard method to assess muscle strength; however, lack of reference values limits its usefulness in geriatric evaluation and rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to develop reference values of knee extensor isokinetic strength for older women. As a secondary aim, functional tests were performed for clinical significance validation.

Methods:
A total of 453 older women aged 60 to 84 years participated in this study. Knee extensor isokinetic strength was measured using the Biodex System dynamometer at 60° per second. The Timed Up and Go test and the 5 times Sit-to-Stand test were used for functional performance evaluation. Participants were categorized into age groups of 5 years range. The 20th, 40th, 60th, and 80th percentiles were used for stratification purposes.

Results and Discussion:
As expected, mean strength values significantly decreased with advancing age groups. Isokinetic percentile groups are presented according to age. Individuals in the lower percentile strata showed significantly reduced performance in both the Timed Up and Go and 5 times Sit-to-Stand tests (P < .05).

Conclusion:
This study provides normative values of isokinetic knee extensor strength in older women. The association between lower isokinetic knee extensor strength strata and reduced functional capacity supports the potential application of these reference values in clinical and research settings. Future studies should ascertain these findings in different female populations.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The second phase of an analytical round robin for the elastic-plastic analysis of surface cracks in flat plates was conducted under the auspices of ASTM Interlaboratory Study 732. The interlaboratory study (ILS) had ten participants with a broad range of expertise and experience, and experimental results from a surface crack tension test in 4142 steel plate loaded well into the elastic-plastic regime provided the basis for the study. The participants were asked to evaluate a surface crack tension test according to the version of the surface crack initiation toughness testing standard published at the time of the ILS, ASTM E2899-13, Standard Test Method for Measurement of Initiation Toughness in Surface Cracks under Tension and Bending. Data were provided to each participant that represented the fundamental information that would be provided by a mechanical test laboratory prior to evaluating the test result. Participants were asked to interpret the test according to E2899, including evaluation of crack-front constraint, determination of a critical initiation angle along the crack front, determination of the deformation regime of the test, and determination of the critical J-integral value. The choice of finite element analysis constitutive models and treatment of the stress-strain data was left to the discretion of the participants. The hope was that this process would familiarize participants with the standard and provide the task group with very helpful feedback regarding the interpretation of the requirements as they are written. Overall the participants’ test analysis results were in good agreement and constructive feedback was received that has resulted in an improved published version of the standard E2899-15.
