The Artificial Body in Fashion and Art
Authors: Geczy Adam 
Published: September 2018

Artificial bodies constructed in human likeness, from uncanny automatons to mechanical dolls, have long played a complex and subtle role in human identity and culture. This book takes a range of these bodies, from antiquity to the present day, to explore how we seek out echoes, caricatures and replications of ourselves in order to make sense of the complex world in which we live.
Packed with case studies, from the commedia del’arte to Hans Bellmer, and the work of André Courrèges to the 1980s supermodel, this volume explores the divide between the “real” and the constructed. Arguing that the body “other” plays a crucial role in the formation of the self physically and psychologically, leading scholar Adam Geczy contends that the “natural” body has been replaced by a series of imaginary archetypes in our post-modern world, central to which is the figure of the doll.
The Artificial Body in Fashion and Art provides a much-needed synthesis of constructed bodies across time and place, drawing on fashion theory, theatre studies and material culture, to explore what the body means in the realms of identity, gender, performance and art.
Tweed
Authors: Anderson Fiona 
Published: September 2018

The story of tweed is tied to a series of social, economic and cultural shifts that have molded its development. This book considers the historical factors that helped to shape the characteristics and social meanings of the group of fabrics that we call tweed since their emergence in the 1820s to the present day. Including significant new research on tweeds, from Harris Tweed to the type used by Chanel, this book follows the history of these fabrics from the raw fibre to the finished garment in men’s and women’s fashion.
Exploring rural and urban contexts, Anderson shows that, contrary to their strong popular associations with tradition, tweeds emerged in the Romantic era as a response to the dramatic changes associated with industrialisation and urbanisation. Progressive changes in gender relations are also explored as a major factor in tweed’s evolution from associations with particular ideals of masculinity into what is now a truly contemporary and adaptable fashion textile worn by both sexes. This is the first book of its kind to recognize the versatility of tweed and its importance in textiles and fashion today.
Assessing Secondary Trauma, Compassion Satisfaction, and Burnout – Implications for Professional Education for Asian-American Social Workers
Authors: Kwong Kenny 
Published: September 2018

The present study explored work-related stress and career experiences of Asian-American social workers and assessed if their demographic characteristics, beliefs and orientations (altruism, idealism, and self-compassion), and work-related stressors might impact their professional quality of life (secondary trauma, compassion satisfaction, and burnout) and job-related health problems. Two hundred and eight (208) Asian social workers and students participated in a comprehensive online survey by providing basic demographic and work-related information and completing a set of standardized scales to assess their career experiences and work-related stress, as well as their psychological and physical well-being. Bivariate analyses and stepwise multiple regression analyses were used to estimate models that best predicted their experiences of secondary trauma, compassion satisfaction, burnout, perceived stress, and job-related health problems. The findings showed that higher perceived stress was associated with higher secondary trauma, burnout, job-related health problems, and lower compassion satisfaction. Work-related problems/stressors emerged as a very strong predictor of burnout and job-related health problems. Higher self-compassion was related to higher compassion satisfaction and lower secondary trauma and burnout. Self-compassion was found to be a very strong predictor of perceived stress. Implications of the findings for professional education and career development for Asian-American social workers were discussed.
Multidimensional quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical care by community pharmacists: A Japanese nation-wide survey
Authors: Tominaga Yoshiko , Aomori Tohru , Hayakawa Tomohisa , Isawa Minae , Mochizuki Mayumi 
Published: September 2018

Rationale, Aims and Objectives: Patient-centred pharmaceutical care (PC) has become increasingly important at community pharmacies, although few studies have comprehensively evaluated the necessary elements in PC. Our main objective was to determine the extent of PC practice in the Japanese community pharmacy setting and to discuss the results from domestic and international perspectives using the internationally validated Behavioral Pharmaceutical Care Scale (BPCS). Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional, nationwide Internet-based survey of community pharmacists. A 32-item questionnaire was prepared based on one used in Europe and scored in the ranges of either of 0-5 or 1-5 on each item as well as of 15-160 in total. Survey invitations were delivered to 2,600 pharmacies via postal mail or institutional e-mail.Results: A total of 1,332 pharmacists responded. The mean total BPCS score was 98.7/160 (61.7%). While scores related to documentation, patient assessment and patient record screening were generally high, others related to desired therapeutic objectives and sharing patients’ progress with general practitioners were generally low. In multivariate linear regression analysis, health counselling, in-pharmacy computerization, cooperation with other healthcare professionals and claiming reimbursement were positively correlated and age negatively associated with the BPCS score.Conclusion: The general level of PC practice by Japanese community pharmacists was relatively high, since their BPCS scores exceeded the ranges reported in European surveys. The basic reason is likely that remuneration linked to medication review is well established. Areas for improvement, such as paying more attention to therapeutic goals from an individualized quality-of-life standpoint and cooperating with other medical professionals, were identified.
Sources of practice variations in cardiology - The influence of clinical context, cost, physicians’ perceptions and practice considerations
Authors: Manja Veena , Guyatt Gordon , Monteiro Sandra , Jack Susan , Lakshminrusimha Satyanarayana , You John 
Published: September 2018

Background: Practice variation is common and may represent variation in values and preferences in the setting of limited evidence regarding optimal care or indicate deficiencies in care. Methods: We administered a case-based survey to cardiologists in the United States and Canada. Participants selected their preferred management option and then rated the influence of 7 factors (safety, effectiveness, patient-centered care, efficiency, local hospital practice, medicolegal concerns and prior experience) on their decision using a scale of 1 (unimportant) to 7 (critically important). Follow-up questions explored knowledge and attitudes on healthcare costs. The relationship between management choice and perceived influence of each factor was examined using repeated measures ANOVA. Free text comments were analyzed using basic content analysis.Results: One hundred and six cardiologists completed the survey. Respondents rated safety (5.8), effectiveness (5.7) and patient-centered care (5.7) as important determinants irrespective of their management choice. Cardiologists frequently (range 19%-87%) chose options not recommended by clinical practice guidelines (CPG), with individual cardiologists sometimes choosing guideline-suggested options and sometimes not. Differences in ratings of factors between those who chose guideline-suggested options and those who did not varied based on the case. Respondents considered cost to be important in decision-making; however, they did not feel well informed and, consequently, seldom discussed this with patients.Conclusion: Cardiologists rate evidence-based practice as an important factor influencing their decision-making whether or not they make CPG-concordant choices. Sources of practice variation include case-context, local hospital practice and medicolegal concerns. Implementation strategies to improve high value patient-centered care should consider physicians’ perceptions of effectiveness of the management options. Successful strategies to improve patient-centered care will require engagement from physicians, particularly to understand how best to support their ability to counsel and involve patients when choosing treatment options and considering cost in these decisions. A deeper understanding of practice variation and its implications will require use of qualitative methods.

Published: September 2018

El objetivo principal de este trabajo se centra en la determinación y análisis de las variables ambientales que influyen en las divergencias de las estimaciones de erosionabilidad a partir de dos métodos, aplicando tres algoritmos de estimación del Factor K. La exploración de esta información permite conocer el peso que ejerce el origen de los datos de entrada a los modelos en el cómputo de erosionabilidad y qué importancia tiene en función del algoritmo elegido para la estimación del Factor K. Los resultados muestran que las pendientes, así como los índices de vegetación (NDVI) y de composición mineralógico (IOI) obtenidos mediantes técnicas de teledetección han mostrado los valores de asociación más elevados entre ambos métodos.The main goal of this work is to determine and analyze the influence of environmental variables on the changes of two erodibility methods, through the application of three estimation algorithms of K Factor. The analysis of this information allows knowing the significance of the input data to the models in the erodibility estimation, and likewise the consequence of the algorithm selected for the estimation of K Factor. The results show that the slopes, as well as the vegetation index (NDVI) and the mineralogical composition index (IOI), generated both by remote sensing techniques, have shown the highest values of association between methods.
Sémiotique du “passage” et du “séjour” en architecture
Authors: Gagnon Carolle , Marier Nicolas 
Published: September 2018

Les architectes parlent le langage spécialisé enseigné dans les écoles d’architecture, allant des catégories descriptives aux plans et devis. Ils se servent de typologies permettant de classer les divers éléments et leur mise en forme dans de nouvelles catégories descriptives qui sont, celles-là, porteuses de sens, par exemple les ouvertures. Nous suggérons que les thèmes de l’ouvert et du fermé que nous posons en termes architecturaux de “passage” et de “séjour” constituent des unités de signification de nature complexe, ou “sémèmes”. Les signes /passage/ et /séjour/ peuvent être des équivalents de la phrase étudiée en linguistique, et ainsi constituer des thèmes narratifs.Par analogie aux unités minimales de signes que sont les phonèmes, nous appelons nos unités de même valeur “archèmes”. Par analogie aux morphèmes, nous appelons du nom de “chorèmes” les sèmes qui ont une signification spécifique de nature architecturale. Plus avant, /passage/ et /séjour/ constituent des sémèmes qui contrastent ou s’opposent, faisant ainsi partie du répertoire sémique de l’architecture. Le thème du passage devient dominant dans l’architecture contemporaine avec Hadid, Hara et Gehry. Les édifices permettent à l’utilisateur de vivre plus librement son histoire dans une occupation personnelle de l’espace. Celui-ci devient un allié lui permettant de se raconter. Ainsi, le passage, dans une nouvelle articulation avec le séjour, montre une nouvelle manière d’habiter.

Authors: Jakimavičius Marius 
Published: September 2018

Lithuanian road accidents were evaluated based on the geographic information systems and multi-criteria method of Analytical Hierarchy Process This paper presents the methodology for selecting and ranking high accident concentration sections on the roads of national significance. Methodology involves the following process phases: 1) preparation of spatial data of the road accidents; 2) estimation of road sections with a high accident rate; 3) calculation of spatial statistics for estimation of accident points and hot spots; 4) selecting indicators for multi-criteria assessment; 5) calculation by Analytical Hierarchy Process method and ranking the selected high accident concentration sections. Assessment of spatial clustering of accidents and hot spots was carried out following geo-information technologies and using Getis-Ord Gi statistics and point density functions. This geospatial criterion was integrated into multicriteria assessment for ranking the high accident concentration sections by using the Analytical Hierarchy Process method. Presented method is useful for various agencies in order to improve their planning and management strategies for better traffic conditions as well as to reduce the number of accidents. The result of the research presents selection methodology of dangerous accident section and ranking of the tenth the most dangerous sections involving geographic information systems and Analytical Hierarchy Process method.
E-cigarettes versus nicotine patches for perioperative smoking cessation: a pilot randomized trial
Authors: Lee Susan M. , Tenney Rachel , Wallace Arthur W. , Arjomandi Mehrdad 
Published: September 2018

Introduction
Cigarette smoking by surgical patients is associated with increased complications. E-cigarettes have emerged as a potential smoking cessation tool. We sought to determine the feasibility and acceptability of e-cigarettes, compared to nicotine patch, for perioperative smoking cessation in veterans.

Methods
Preoperative patients were randomized to either the nicotine patch group (n = 10) or the e-cigarette group (n = 20). Both groups were given a free 6-week supply in a tapering dose. All patients received brief counseling, a brochure on perioperative smoking cessation, and referral to the California Smokers’ Helpline. The primary outcome was rate of smoking cessation on day of surgery confirmed by exhaled carbon monoxide. Secondary outcomes included smoking habits, pulmonary function, adverse events, and satisfaction with the products on day of surgery and at 8-weeks follow-up.

Results
Biochemically verified smoking cessation on day of surgery was similar in both groups. Change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) was 592 ml greater in the e-cigarette group (95% CI [153–1,031] ml, p = 0.01) and change in forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity ratio (FEV1/FVC ratio) was 40.1% greater in the e-cigarette group (95% CI [18.2%–78.4%], p = 0.04). Satisfaction with the product was similar in both groups.

Discussion
E-cigarettes are a feasible tool for perioperative smoking cessation in veterans with quit rates comparable to nicotine replacement patch. Spirometry appears to be improved 8-weeks after initiating e-cigarettes compared to nicotine patch, possibly due to worse baseline spirometry and more smoking reduction in the e-cigarette group. An adequately powered study is recommended to determine if these results can be duplicated.
Influence of sports expertise level on attention in multiple object tracking

Published: September 2018

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate whether performance in a multiple object tracking (MOT) task could be improved incrementally with sports expertise, and whether differences between experienced and less experienced athletes, or non-athletes, were modulated by load.MethodsWe asked 22 elite and 20 intermediate basketball players, and 23 non-athletes, to perform an MOT task under three attentional load conditions (two, three, and four targets). Accuracies were analyzed to examine whether different levels of sports expertise influence MOT task performance.ResultsThe elite athletes displayed better tracking performance compared with the intermediate or non-athletes when tracking three or four targets. However, no significant difference was found between the intermediate athletes and the non-athletes. Further, no differences were observed among the three groups when tracking two targets.DiscussionThe results suggest that the effects of expertise in team ball sports could transfer to a non-sports-specific attention task. These transfer effects to general cognitive functions occur only in elite athletes with extensive training under higher attentional load.

Цель публикации: на примере конкретной истории болезни показать волнообразный характер течения туберкулезного процесса у ребенка раннего возраста при позднем выявлении, наличии нескольких факторов риска развития заболевания и отсутствии профилактических осмотров на туберкулез. Представленное клиническое наблюдение, демонстрирует позднее выявление и волнообразный характер течения туберкулезного процесса у ребенка раннего возраста, вызванный сочетанием нескольких факторов риска. Грудной ребенок, не вакцинированный против ­туберкулеза, с 6 месячного возраста оказался на попечении няни, ранее находившейся в местах лишения свободы и страдающей туберкулезом. Ребенок не обследовался должным образом на туберкулез (не проводилась туберкулинодиагностика 2 раза в год), в связи с чем заболевание было выявлено поздно. В возрасте 2 лет 3 мес. диагностирован туберкулез внутригрудных лимфатических узлов в фазе инфильтрации и начинающейся кальцинации, осложненный бронхолегочным поражением, МБТ (-). Поздно установленный контакт с больной туберкулезом с наличием множественной лекарственной устойчивости M. Tuberculosis (МЛУ МБТ) не позволил своевременно начать адекватную химиотерапию, что и явилось основной причиной волнообразного течения туберкулезного процесса. Изменение схемы лечения с учетом данных о лекарственной чувствительности МБТ у источника инфекции позволило достичь значительного положительного эффекта через 18 мес. химиотерапии.

Цель - сравнительное изучение генетического полиморфизма Mycobacterium tuberculosis (МБТ), циркулирующих среди больных туберкулезом мужчин и женщин Саратовской области. Обследовано 307 больных с впервые выявленным туберкулезом легких (ТБ) в возрасте от 22 до 62 лет. Больные распределены на 2 группы по гендерному признаку. Группу 1 составили 49 женщин, группу 2 - 258 мужчин. Обе группы сопоставимы по клиническим формам, тяжести течения ТБ, наличию деструкций в легочной ткани и массивности бактериовыделения. Проводили сполиготипирование МБТ в образцах мокроты методом гибридизации на биологическом микрочипе с использованием набора реагентов «Сполиго-биочип» (ООО «БИОЧИП-ИМБ», Москва). Результаты реакции учитывали с помощью аппаратно-программного комплекса «Чипдетектор-01» и специальной программы «ImaGeWare®», позволяющей проводить сравнение сполиготипа с профилем сполиготипирования базы данных SpolDB4 (http: www.pasteur-guadeloupe.fr/tb/bd_myco.html). Установлено, что среди мужчин, больных ТБ (группа 2), циркулируют 11 генетических семейств МБТ (Bejing, Beijing-like, Haarlem+Ural, LAM, T, Microti, Rus 1, EAI, Canetti, Cas, Manu). В нашем исследовании мы объединили группу Haarlem и Ural, как две родственные группы. В образцах мокроты, полученных от женщин, больных ТБ (группа 1), выявлены МБТ шести генетических семейств (Beijing, Beijing-like, Haarlem + Ural, LAM, T, Microti). Доминирующими генотипами в группе 1 были Bejing - 15 (30,6%), Beijing-like -13 (26,5%) Haarlem+Ural - 14 (28,6%), в группе 2 - Haarlem+Ural - 53 (20,5%), T - 68 (26,4%), Beijing - 46 (17,8%), Beijing-like - 44 (17,1%). Достоверно чаще в группе 1 по сравнению с группой 2 были зарегистрированы МБТ Bejing -15 (30,6%) против 46 (17,8%) соответственно, p = 0,0381. В группе 2 значительно чаще были выявлены МБТ семейства Т - 68 (26,4%) против 3 (6,1%) в группе 1, p = 0,0024. Достоверных различий по распространению сполиготипов внутри генетических семейств МБТ среди мужчин и женщин не установлено.
