Vocabulary and fashion discourse
Authors: Ávila-Manín Carmen , Linares-Ales Francisco 
Published: April 2019

In the discourse of fashion the presentation and the evaluation of acts and objets are often mixed. Depaning from this assumption the present work investigates the lexical and pragmatical reasons that intensify the moral connotation of expressions about fashion and allow their use for persuasive means; at the same time this work also illustrates the importance of the familiarization with these expressions for education, both as communicative facts and as reasons for moral reflection.
En el discurso de la moda se mezcla la constatación con la valoración de acciones y objetos. Partiendo de esta premisa el presente trabajo expone las razones léxicas y pragmático-comunicativas que intensifican la connotación moral de las expresiones sobre seguimiento de la moda y permiten su utilización con fines persuasivos; al mismo tiempo este trabajo también llama la atención sobre el interés que para la educación tiene el acercamiento a dichas expresiones en cuanto hechos comunicativos y en cuanto motivos de reflexión moral.
Towards intelligent buying
Authors: Gajitos Marisun 
Published: April 2019

The world of fashion is often associated with being trendy and being able to spend a good amount of money in purchasing clothes, shoes and accessories that are «in». The pre-teens, teenagers and yuppies are the main target group. But buying habits are slowly but surely changing, at least in the Northem European countries, and specifically in Finland. The focus is not on quantity but on quality: long-lasting materials and timeless design pieces. And ethics. Though a lot of young people are still prey to cheap, seasonal anires and fashion items, newgeneration designen are anracting clients towards intelligent consumerism: buying for quality and based on values.
El mundo de la moda está normalmente asociado con estar de moda y gastar mucho dinero para comprar ropa, zapatos y accesorios que están en boga. Los jóvenes y los profesionales son la clientela del mercado. Pero un nuevo hábito -más bien actitud- está lenta -y seguramente- cambiando del consumismo al consumo inteligente, por lo menos en los países del norte de Europa, y en particular en Finlandia. El enfoque está en la calidad más que en la cantidad: materiales duraderos y diseño perenne. Y ética. Aun,que muchos de los jóvenes de pop todavía siguen comprando ropa y accesorios baratos y estacionales, un grupo de diseñadores clave en el mundo del diseño finlandés están ahora atrayendo clientes hacia un consumo sano: comprar calidad y comprar de acuerdo con valores.

Music and styles: the creation by means of the theory of social representations
Authors: Duarte Monica 
Published: April 2019

We approached the theory of the social representations, from the epistemologic perspective of the rhetorical change of the philosophy, like a model for the creation of musical uhits. and soundtracks spread by mass media and characterized by musical topics, figures that reflect the social and psychological processes of the elaboration of musical ideas. The dynamics of this creation seem to be effective for the development of a «sgnificant» teaching process of music teaching.
Se aborda la teoría de las representaciones sociales, a partir de la perspectiva epistemológica del viraje retórico de la filosofia, como modelo para la creación de las canciones «de moda» y de las bandas sonoras difundidas por los medios de comunicación sociales y caracterizadas por tópicos musicales, figuras que reflejan los procesos sociales y psicológicos de elaboración de ideas musicales. Esa dinámica de creación se presenta como eficaz para el desarrollo de un proceso usignificativou de enseñanza de la música a los estudiantes.

The education in communication in Cataloniaº
Authors: Ambrós-Pallarés Alba 
Published: April 2019

The society of infonnation where we are living is changing very quickly, especially the way we communicate to each other. Apart from the wrinen and spoken language. we must be awared of the fact that the most important part of the messages we receive use the audiovisual language code, so we exist side by side with a multiplicity of languages around us Where and how do we learn about them? The Spanish and Catalonian education programmes are not ready to achieve this aim. For this reason, we suggest to talk about the necessity of an education in communication, which two recent Catalonian studies take into account from different points of view: Llibre Blanc: L'educació en l'entorn audiovisual (White Book: The education around the audiouisual) from CAC (Audiouisual Council from Catalonia) and «I Manifest per I'Educació en Comunicació» (I Manifest for the Education in Communication) from AulaMedia.
La sociedad de la información en la que estamos viviendo cambia muy rápidamente, sobre todo la forma de comunicarnos. Además del conocido lenguaje escrito y oral, no se puede olvidar que la mayoria de los mensajes que recibimos emplean el código audiovisual. Por lo tanto, en nuestro entorno convivimos con una multiplicidad de lenguajes. ¿Dónde y cómo aprendemos a comunicarnos con ellos? Los programas educativos catalán y español todavía no están preparados para lograr este objetivo. Por este motivo, se sugiere tratar la educación en comunicación que, recientemente, dos estudios catalanes han llevado a cabo desde diferentes puntos de vista: Llibre Blanc: L'educació en I'entorn audiovisual (Libro Blanco: La educación en el entorno audiovisual) editado por el Consejo del Audiovisual de Cataluña (CAC), y el «I Manifest per I'Educació en Comunicació» (I Manifiesto para la Educación en Comunicación) de Aulamedia.

Tutoring is one of the most important tasks that university teaching profession will work on in a few yean. This work must be integrated in learning, at the same level as traditional class teaching. It seems to me that thinking and theorizing about this topic is a fint step but, rnoreover, we have to set up a range of new practical means to re-invent the univenity tutoring work in order to bring ir near to students.
La tutoría es una de las más importantes labores que el profesorado universitario ejecerá en unos pocos años. Esta acción debe estar integrada en la enseñanza, al mismo nivel que la docencia en clase. Reflexionar y teorizar profundamente sobre este tema parece un primer paso, pero además, se debe establecer cauces prácticos innovadores para repensar la acción tutorial universitaria y lograr acercar su ejercicio a los alumnos.
Anterior Subcapsular Opacities and Cataracts 5 Years After Surgery in the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens FDA Trial
Authors: Sanders Donald R. 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
To use the techniques of survival analysis to analyze the incidence of anterior subcapsular opacities (symptomatic and asymptomatic) and clinically significant cataract in the US Food and Drug Administration clinical trial of the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL).

Methods
Five hundred twenty-six eyes were followed for an average of 4.7 years; 89% (468 eyes), 73% (384 eyes), and 59% (311 eyes) were seen at 3, 4, and 5 years or later, respectively. Anterior subcapsular opacities were defined as trace or more (⩾0.6 LOCS III opacity). Clinically significant cataract required loss of 2 or more lines of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), a significant increase in glare symptoms, or cataract extraction. Kaplan-Meier analyses of opacities and cataract were performed.

Results
The Kaplan-Meier cumulative probability estimate for anterior subcapsular opacities over 7+ years of follow-up was 7% whereas 31 (5.9%) eyes were actually observed. Anterior subcapsular opacities generally occurred early with 58% seen in the first year, 68% in the first 2 years, and 74% in the first 3 years. The cumulative probability estimate for clinically significant cataracts over the 7+ years of follow-up was 2% whereas 7 (1.3%) were actually observed. The difference between the Kaplan-Meier estimate and the actual observed percentage is due to the fact that the former takes into account the differences in postoperative follow-up time of individual eyes. Preoperative myopia (>12.00 diopters) and patient age (>40 years) were significant factors in the development of cataract. No loss of BSCVA was observed in any eye following cataract extraction.

Conclusions

Approximately 6% to 7% of eyes develop anterior subcapsular opacities at 7+ years following ICL implantation but only 1% to 2% progress to clinically significant cataract during the same period, especially very high myopes and older patients. Visual outcome following cataract extraction was good. [

Epithelial Thickness in the Normal Cornea: Three-dimensional Display With Artemis Very High-frequency Digital Ultrasound
Authors: Reinstein Dan Z. , Archer Timothy J. , Gobbe Marine , Silverman Ronald H. , Coleman D. Jackson 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
To characterize the in vivo epithelial thickness profile in a population of normal eyes.

Methods
An epithelial thickness profile was measured by Artemis 1 (ArcScan Inc) very high-frequency (VHF) digital ultrasound scanning across the central 10-mm diameter of the cornea of 110 eyes of 56 patients who presented for refractive surgery assessment. The average, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and range of epithelial thickness were calculated for each point in the 10×10-mm Cartesian matrix and plotted. Differences between the epithelial thickness at the corneal vertex and peripheral locations at the 3-mm radius were calculated. The location of the thinnest epithelium was found for each eye and averaged. Correlations of corneal vertex epithelial thickness with age, spherical equivalent refraction, and average keratometry were calculated.

Results

The mean epithelial thickness at the corneal vertex was 53.4±4.6
µ
m, with no statistically significant difference between right and left eyes, and no significant differences in age, spherical equivalent refraction, or keratometry. The average epithelial thickness map showed that the corneal epithelium was thicker inferiorly than superiorly (5.9 µm at the 3-mm radius,
P
<.001) and thicker nasally than temporally (1.3 µm at the 3-mm radius,
P
<.001). The location of the thinnest epithelium was displaced on average 0.33 mm temporally and 0.90 mm superiorly with reference to the corneal vertex.

Conclusions

Three-dimensional thickness mapping of the corneal epithelium demonstrated that the epithelial thickness is not evenly distributed across the cornea; the epithelium was significantly thicker inferiorly than superiorly and significantly thicker nasally than temporally with a larger inferosuperior difference than nasotemporal difference.

Measure of Keratoconus Progression Using Orbscan II
Authors: Kim Hyojin , Joo Choun-Ki 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
To observe the progression of keratoconus over 3 years using Orbscan II, and to estimate risk correlations with rapid progressive changes.

Methods
Fifty-six eyes of 35 patients (mean age: 25.9±5.7 years, range: 18 to 35 years) with keratoconus were reviewed whose sex, age, visual acuity, refractive error, atopy, eye rubbing habits, family history of keratoconus, hard contact lens wear, intraocular pressure, keratometric reading, corneal shape, corneal thickness index, and corneal asphericity had been determined. The keratometric change over 3 years was evaluated using Orbscan II, with 6-month intervals between each examination. All patients selected had less than moderate keratoconus on initial examination.

Results

The rate of keratometric change was 0.78±0.99 diopters (D)/half-year. In 30 eyes, the apparent progression was evident with a rate of keratometric change of 1.37±1.08 D/half-year, whereas the rate of change was 0.15±0.15 D/half-year in eyes exhibiting no apparent progression (
P
=.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that eye rubbing (odds ratio [OR] = 3.810; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.194–12.158) and inferior steepening compared to superior steepening (OR = 5.465; 95% CI = 1.667–17.857) were associated with progression after diagnosis (
P
<.05).

Conclusions

Careful attention must be paid to the presence of eye rubbing and corneal shape with inferior steepening at the time of diagnosis, as these factors may help in predicting the rapid progressive change in keratoconus. [

Intraoperative Corneal Thickness Measurement Using Optical Coherence Pachymetry and Corneo-Gage Plus Ultrasound Pachymetry
Authors: Wang Jenn-Chyuan , Bunce Catey , Lee Hung-Ming 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
To compare the central corneal thickness measured by online optical coherence pachymetry (OCP) and ultrasound pachymetry in normal cornea.

Methods
Forty-eight right eyes of 48 consecutive patients were enrolled in this prospective study. Central corneal thickness measurements were taken intraoperatively with the online OCP and ultrasound pachymeter before flap creation. The precision repeatability, intraclass correlation coefficient, and correlation of variation for each instrument was calculated. Intraclass correlation coefficient was based on Bland-Altman plot of differences between instruments.

Results

Mean central corneal thickness for ultrasound pachymetry and online OCP was 559.45±33.05 µm (range: 475.50 to 650.50
µ
m) and 521.19±28.97
µ
m (range: 447.50 to 606.00
µ
m), respectively. The precision (repeatability) was 7.86
µ
m and 9.47
µ
m, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the ultrasound pachymeter was 0.997 (95% CI, 0.993–0.998) and 0.993 (95% CI, 0.988–0.996) for the online OCP. The coefficient of variance was 0.50% and 0.66%, respectively. The mean difference between ultrasound pachymetry and online OCP was 38.26±9.96
µ
m. The limits of agreement were: upper=58.19
µ
m (95% CI, 53.30–63.07
µ
m) and lower=18.34
µ
m (95% CI, 13.45–23.22
µ
m).

Conclusions

Online OCP can be used as a reliable alternative to ultrasound pachymetry as both instruments gave highly repeatable measurements of central corneal thickness. However, measurements using the OCP were consistently lower than those with the ultrasound pachymeter; therefore, the two techniques should not be used interchangeably. Further studies are needed to determine the implications of thinner central corneal thickness measured with online OCP as well as to resolve the systematic differences in measurements by these pachymetric technologies.

Contrast Sensitivity and Higher Order Aberrations in Eyes Implanted With AcrySof IQ SN60WF and AcrySof SN60AT Intraocular Lenses
Authors: Awwad Shady T. , Warmerdam Dorotheea , Bowman R. Wayne , Dwarakanathan Surendar , Cavanagh H. Dwight , McCulley James P. 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
To evaluate the efficacy of the aspheric optic of the AcrySof IQ SN60WF intraocular lens (IOL) in decreasing spherical and total higher order aberrations and improving contrast sensitivity after cataract surgery compared to the spheric AcrySof SN60AT.

Methods
Fifty-two eyes of 36 patients were evaluated at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas 3 to 6 months after phacoemulsification with implantation of the AcrySof IQ SN60WF (27 eyes) or AcrySof SN60AT (25 eyes) IOL. Eyes with previous surgery or ocular pathology were excluded.

Results

Eyes implanted with the AcrySof IQ SN60WF had less total higher order and spherical aberrations than AcrySof SN60AT-implanted eyes at pupils of 4 mm (0.14±60.06 vs 0.18±0.04
µ
m and −0.01±0.03 vs 0.09±0.03
µ
m, respectively), 5 mm (0.24±0.07 vs 0.34±0.08
µ
m and 0.03±0.02 vs 0.23±0.08
µ
m, respectively), and 6 mm (0.42±0.13 vs 0.67±0.12
µ
m and 0.08±0.04 and 0.46±0.09
µ
m, respectively), (
P
<.05 for all), with similar mean coma, trefoil, and 5th order aberrations. AcrySof SN60WF eyes showed better contrast sensitivity than AcrySof SN60AT eyes at 12 and 18 cycles per degree (cpd) under mesopic conditions (1.65±0.23 vs 1.51±0.25 and 1.22±0.21 vs 1.01±0.19, respectively), and at 18 cpd under glare (1.12±0.30 vs 0.87±0.31, respectively) (
P
<.05). Photopic contrast sensitivity was similar in both groups. The two groups had comparable mean age, axial length, IOL power, and postoperative mesopic and photopic pupil sizes.

Conclusions

Compared to a spheric optic, the aspheric design of the AcrySof IQ SN60WF reduces spherical aberration, especially under larger pupil sizes, and improves mesopic contrast sensitivity at higher frequencies with and without glare. [

Authors: Kymionis George D. , Diakonis Vasilios F. , Charisis Spyridon , Pallikaris Aristofanis I. , Bouzoukis Dimitrios I. , Yoo Sonia H. , Naoumidi Irine , Tsilimbaris Miltiadis K. 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
To investigate the effects of the application of mitomycin C (MMC) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) on the ciliary body and intraocular pressure (IOP) in an experimental model.

Methods
Forty eyes of 20 rabbits underwent PRK to correct −8.00 diopters (D) in a 5-mm optical zone. Sterile surgical sponges (5 mm) soaked with 0.02% MMC were applied to corneas with the epithelium removed. Eyes were randomly chosen to receive MMC for 2 minutes (study group), and sponges soaked with balanced salt solution were applied on the contralateral eye (control group) for 2 minutes. Histological evaluation of the ciliary body was performed in a masked fashion by light and transmission electron microscopy.

Results

Histological examination of the morphology of the ciliary body structures revealed no differences between the two groups. Tonometric measurements of the IOP remained stable during the follow-up period with no significant changes (
P
=.75).

Conclusions

Adjuvant application of MMC after PRK does not appear to induce alterations on the ciliary body or changes in IOP measurements. [
