Printed pots and computerized coils: The place of 3D printing in ceramic practice
Authors: Chittenden Tara 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The emergence of innovations and new approaches in the field of 3D printing inspires and enables creative work that integrates the traditional languages of ceramics with digital aesthetics, processes and technologies. For makers, new tools to 3D print in clay present a range of ways to make, conceptualize and communicate ideas, and yet, for some, such methods of design and production signal a loss of traditional making skills and a loss of the ‘humanness’ in craft. This article presents a number of examples of practitioners who have found ways to reinsert the essence of human experiences into their work, not via metaphor or artistic interpretation, but through data. Instead of the maker’s touch, we find ‘spoken’ forms shaped through the digital data capture of voice and breath. Chris Gustin uses a CAD program to convert peaks and valleys of voice into bowl forms, whilst Jenny Filipetti captures the force of breath to shape her vessels, which are then 3D-printed in clay. In their work, we see evidence of the emergence of a new language of making that asks questions of the dialogues between traditional and digital craft skills, and between human and machine. The dialogic spaces that emerge from the coming together of data patterns and vessel forms, and of traditional and technological making processes, promote an understanding of 3D-printed ceramics as a series of structured conversations between forms of a diverse and eclectic nature. In terms of a 3D-printed ceramic language this means vessels that quote ceramic forms and processes that have been ‘said before’, and yet that also speak in anticipation of future vessel shapes and the syntax of process possibilities. This article suggests that 3D-printed ceramics should not be seen as a conflict or a compromise within crafts, but as a productive dialogue.
Murder, medium and manipulation in the metropolis
Authors: Giappone Krista Bonello Rutter , Tanti Emanuel 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This article considers a cluster of twenty-first-century horror films that explore the idea of an urban hunter stalking victims in the city: The Last Horror Movie (Richards, 2003), Maniac (Khalfoun, 2012) and Nightcrawler (Gilroy, 2014). The urban context is discussed as a setting that surrounds, bewilders and potentially influences the action. Psychogeography and notions of urban space further inform the discussion, with particular reference to alternative means of urban exploration and spatial manipulation. The manner in which this architectural sprawl interacts with manipulative meta-filmic strategies will provide the framework for the examination of the fictional ‘urban hunter’ who inhabits, uses and sometimes guides the viewer through this space. We argue that this figure, both solitary and at home in the city’s rhythms, navigates the urban with varying degrees of effectiveness – an effectiveness that is not only limited to the on-screen prey, but also extends to an impact on the viewer invited or compelled to follow the protagonist, while her/his experience of the film is itself mediated and manipulated. This urban stalker both mediates and connects – sometimes alienating, sometimes directly and aggressively confronting the viewer, at other times seeming to align almost harmoniously with the medium, framing our view and promising the immediacy of a first-person experience – always, however, unsettling – whether challenging the assumption of our safe distance, or through jarring and ripping disjuncture, as the medium slips in and out of the frame, and as metavisual commentary intervenes to provide another mediating layer, made manifest.
An exploration of the self-selection of musical parts by members of a New Horizons concert band
Authors: Harrington Ann M. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This study examined the self-selection of musical parts (first, second, third or fourth) as perceived by members of a New Horizons concert band. Ensemble members’ self-reported part selection decisions, preferences for specific parts, perceived difficulties and benefits of the self-selection of musical parts, and suggestions for improvement of this part selection process were also examined. In this mixed methods study, an anonymous online questionnaire was used to collect data from (n=29) respondents, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with (n=9) participants. Results indicated that multiple factors influenced the self-selection of musical parts. These factors included, but may not be limited to: preferences for a particular part, the need for a balanced section, a need for all musical parts to be performed, personal musical skills, perceptions of the musical skill levels of other section members, and perhaps most important, a desire to make one’s best contribution to the ensemble. Suggested options for guiding ensemble members in the self-selection of musical parts, and for presenting members with strategies to improve musical skills while playing a variety of parts are discussed in the context of self-directed learning in an ensemble setting.
‘You’re standing on my neck’: Feminist cynicism and queer anti sociality in MTV’s Daria
Authors: McDonald Robin Alex 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
‘Look right through me / Say I’m gloomy / Yea, so sue me [...] I’ve got to be direct / It’s like a big train wreck / You’re standing on my neck / You’re standing on my neck,’ sing post-grunge band Splendora, throughout the opening sequence to MTV’s popular 1990s cartoon series, Daria. Brooding, sarcastic, and surly, Daria Morgendorffer – a teenager and unapologetic misanthrope from the small, fictional town of Lawndale – has much to offer scholars of feminist negativity and queer anti-social theory. Following Lee Edelman’s rejection of a communitarian, heteronormative ‘politics of hope,’ this article seeks to theorize Daria as an important feminist killjoy and queer cynic; one who vehemently disavows the liberal humanist and capitalist-driven narratives of heroism, optimism, femininity and success that so often saturate teenage television programming. Lauding negativity’s ability to ‘poke holes in the toxic positivity of contemporary thinking’, as Jack Halberstam writes, this article is interested in the kinds of alternative imaginings that are produced by one’s refusal to ‘grow up’ and to ‘fit in’.
Pink dreams, blue world: Power, fantasy and desire in Alain Berliner’s Ma Vie en Rose
Authors: Boyd Nolan 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Alain Berliner’s film Ma Vie en Rose (1997) tells the story of Ludovic Fabre, a young transgender girl living in a suburban community outside of Paris. The film uses Ludovic’s story as a lens through which to examine the social policing of queerness and transgender embodiment. This article joins other previously published work about the film in reading it through a Foucauldian lens in order to examine the extent to which social power structures lend shape to normative understandings of gender identity and expression, but this article’s intervention lies in its combination of this Foucauldian perspective with a Lacanian psychoanalytic approach that invokes Lacan’s territory of the real, symbolic and imaginary and the authorization of social ‘law’ within this psychic terrain. I argue that the film’s powerful deployment of desire and fantasy can be analysed within a psychoanalytic framework to delineate the operations of social power and illuminate the extent to which queer gender expression is rendered outlaw and abject within hegemonic normative society.
S(t)imulating history: Queer historical play in Gone Home and The Tearoom
Authors: Harvat Zachary 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In this article, I analyse two recent videogames about queer history, Gone Home (2013) and The Tearoom (2017), to demonstrate the potential of play as a method of queer historical engagement. Responding to recent scholarship on queer history and nostalgia in popular culture, I contend that videogames offer novel ways for interacting with the past that foreground the positive affective dimensions of play (joy, pleasure, camp, humour, etc.) without denying the realities of historical trauma and injury. Queer historical play, I posit, is an alternative method for engaging with the queer past that breaks from the overwhelming emphasis on trauma and the antisocial in queer studies of history and queer studies more broadly.
Twórczość artystyczna jako sposób urzeczywistniania paradygmatu emancypacyjnego
Authors: Pawlik Sabina 
Published: September 2018

The article relates to artistic creation of intellectually disabled people as an example of possible means of their emancipation. In this paper I claim that artistic creation of intellectually disabled people may constitute a tool of self-expression, and as a result be a way to realize the emancipatory paradigm in special education. I have illustrated my hypothesis with some poetry written by two women affected by Down syndrome whose creation is a conscious act of formulating an autonomous artistic message.
From communication to humanization of disabled person
Authors: Żółkowska Teresa 
Published: September 2018

The ongoing systemic transformations have intensified the need to update the reflection on (disabled) people, their abilities or even their destiny. The political transformation that took place in our country chanced the scope and forms of social life. Economic and socio-cultural changes led to the disappearance of disabled people. As a result, it is necessary to rebuild a humanistic programme based on embracing the human being, their abilities and capabilities. One of the most important methods of working on the condition and prospects of (disabled) people is undoubtedly communication, and dialogue within its scope.

Published: September 2018

AbstractPolymerization of propylene was performed in a pilot fluidized bed reactor, resembling an industrial unit. In order to detect agglomeration in this reaction process, wall vibration signatures of the bed, which contains useful information about its hydrodynamics, were measured by an accelerometer. This approach is non-intrusive and can be easily applied in industry. Different methods employed to analyze the measured vibration signatures. Average cycle frequency of the signatures showed that agglomerates were formed and settled down in the reactor during the process. Plot of the power spectral density function of vibration signals showed that the peak corresponding to the dominant frequency generated by bubbles is located around 2,000 Hz. Energy of the signal among the three hydrodynamic structures in the bed (i. e., micro, meso and macro-scales) showed a decrease in share of macro-scale and a slight increase in share of micro and meso-scales due to the formation of agglomerates. The principal component analysis was performed to characterize the hydrodynamic changes occurred in bed due to formation of agglomerates during the polymerization reaction. Using the S-statistic test, changes in the hydrodynamics of the bed due to formation of agglomerates were detected about 20 minutes before defluidization.
Prebiotic-Like Effects of Water Soluble Chitosan on the Intestinal Microflora in Mice
Authors: Liu Likun , Wang Yang , Kong Min , Li Xinli 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In the present work, water soluble chitosan (WSC) was prepared and growth curves of Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Escherichia coli were examined in vitro. In vivo, mice were randomly divided into three groups (10 mice in each group), treated with water, 1 g/kg WSC and 0.25 g/kg of WSC respectively for 24 days. Subsequently, levofloxacin (65 mg/kg) was given for 6 days. The dynamic changes of bacterial communities were evaluated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis periodically. L. delbrueckii and E. coli have been inhibited by WSC in vitro. The bacteria from the genera of Bacteroides, Lactobacillus, Enterococcus and Devosia were dominant gut flora in the intestinal tract of mice. The growth of Lactobacillus has been dramatically stimulated, whereas Enterococcus faecium and Parabacteroides distasonis which were opportunistic bacterial pathogens have been inhibited. So WSC can be considered as a new food supplement to protect the intestinal microflora and regulate imbalance.
Correlation between the blood level of irisin and the severity of acute myocardial infarction in exercise-trained rats

Published: September 2018

Abstract

Background
Acute myocardial infarction is a major cause of death all over the world. Irisin is a novel myokine released after exercise. This work aimed to study the correlation between the serum irisin level and the severity of the acute myocardial infarction in the exercise-trained rats.

Methods
Forty-eight male rats were classified into four groups (12 for each): group I, control sedentary (C); group II, exercise-trained (EX) (swimming for 8 weeks); group III, isoprenaline-induced infarct (MI); and group IV, exercise-trained infarct (EX-MI) (swimming for 8 weeks followed by isoprenaline-induced infarction). ECG was recorded at start and end of the study, before and after induction of infarction. The serum level of irisin, lipid peroxidation [malondialdehyde (MDA)], total antioxidant status (TAS), creatine phosphokinase-MB (CK-MB), and troponin I was determined. The hearts were excised for histopathology and immunohistochemistry for caspase-3.

Results
The infarct rats showed significant prolongation in QTc interval and elevation in the ST segment as well as significant elevation of serum CK-MB, troponin I, and MDA, whereas TAS and serum irisin level were significantly decreased. With exercise, we observed a high positive correlation between the serum irisin and QRS duration (+0.643), amplitude (+0.860), and TAS (+0.887). In addition, there was a high negative correlation between the serum irisin and ST elevation (−0.865), QTc (−0.886), CK-MB (−0.891), troponin (−0.882), and MDA (−0.868). This was confirmed by the negative correlation between serum irisin and both collagen deposition and caspase-3 expression (–0.823 and –0.822, respectively).

Conclusions
We recommend regular exercise or taking recombinant irisin as a supplement to protect at-risk individuals against acute myocardial infarction.

Authors: Ahmadidarrehsima Sudabeh , Mohammadpourhodki Reza , Ebrahimi Hossein , Keramati Maryam , Dianatinasab Mostafa 
Published: September 2018

Abstract

Background
Fatigue is one of the most disturbing and the most common symptoms reported by patients dialyzed. There are methods available on complementary and alternative medicine, through which nurses can help patients to promote their health. Reflexology is a treatment which has a long history and is considered as one of the most popular and the most widespread methods of alternative medicine. In this study, the effects of foot reflexology and slow stroke back massage on the severity of fatigue in patients treated with hemodialysis were measured.

Methods
This is a quasi-experimental study that performed on 52 patients chosen from Imam Khomeini dialysis center in Zabol and divided into control and intervention groups by randomize allocation method. Required information collected from a demographic and fatigue severity questionnaire. After completing questionnaires by the study subjects, foot massage and slow stroke back massage was performed during three weeks, two sessions each week (5 sessions in total). At the end of intervention data of two groups was collected. Data was analyzed using independent sample t-Test, Chi-squared test, Fisher exact test, oneway ANOVA with repeated measures and Bonferroni test by SPSS software version 21.

Results
The mean [±SD] fatigue in patients with foot reflexology massage and slow stroke back massage reflect on the 53.61[±10.12] and 52.20 [±10.37], and the differences were not significant, but after the intervention, fatigue in the group receiving foot reflexology massage was reduced significantly compared to slow stroke back massage group (p<0.0001).

Conclusions
The result of this study showed that reflexology massage is a safe and economical nursing intervention for decreasing fatigue in hemodialysis patients.
Demonstrations in Sports Training: Communicating a Technique through Parsing and the Return-Practice in the Budo Class
Authors: Råman Joonas , Haddington Pentti 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Demonstrating a sports technique to students presents coaches and teachers a practical challenge: How to communicate a multi-phased and fleeting movement of the body effectively and in a manner which also makes clear the temporal relation of the individual phases of the movement? By using video-based methods and video recordings collected in budo sports training, this paper illustrates how teachers parse a complicated and fast-paced technique into individual steps by resorting to talk and embodied means. Furthermore, we examine how the teachers can move back and forth between these steps with an interactional practice we call ‘return-practice’. By employing this practice, the teachers provide additional information regarding particular steps, highlight the simultaneous nature of particular body movements, demonstrate alternative ways of performing the technique, and illustrate the consequences of the incorrect performance of these steps. The linguistic design of the ‘return-practice’ is shown to differ in the above four functions.
PIPAC-OV3: A multicenter, open-label, randomized, two-arm phase III trial of the effect on progression-free survival of cisplatin and doxorubicin as Pressurized Intra-Peritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) vs. chemotherapy alone in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer

AbstractBackgroundRecurrent, platin-resistant ovarian cancer (rPROC) has a poor survival. Even with the AURELIA trial, which is the best available treatment today, progression-free survival (PFS) is still only 6.7 months from the start of the second-line chemotherapy. Innovative, effective therapies are urgently needed. Pressurized Intra-Peritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a novel drug delivery system for administering drugs into the abdomen. PIPAC with cisplatin and doxorubicin (PIPAC C/D) may be safely used at an intraperitoneal dose of 10.5 mg/m2 and 2.1 mg/m2, respectively. Systemic toxicity of this therapy is low. In a phase II trial with 53 women, 62 % patients had an objective tumor response. Tumor regression on histology was observed in 76 % patients who underwent all three PIPACs. Randomized phase III studies are now required to evaluate the effect of PIPAC C/D compared to other standard treatments (sequential or simultaneous applications with systemic chemotherapy).MethodsThe present phase III study is a prospective, open, randomized, multicentric pivotal trial. A total of 244 patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to the control (A) or to the experimental (B) group. Group A: Systemic palliative chemotherapy, physician’s best choice (monotherapy consisting of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan or gemcitabine or paclitaxel weekly. Bevacizumab can be used in combination with paclitaxel, topotecan, or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin). Group B: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy, 3×PIPAC C/D, performed every 6 weeks. Combination with systemic therapy is not allowed. Treatment is continued until disease progression, death, or patient refusal. In case of progression, no recommendation for further therapy is given by protocol. Patients are allowed to receive PIPAC C/D or systemic chemotherapy after study termination. The primary endpoint is PFS (according to RECIST v1.1) or death from any cause. The co-primary endpoint is the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measured as the global health status (GHS, QLQ-30 of EORTC). Secondary outcomes comprise overall survival, safety (CTCAE 5.0), and tumor response according to peritoneal regression grading score (PRGS).DiscussionWe expect PIPAC C/D to control peritoneal disease and preserve the QoL on this subset of patients.Trial registrationThe EudraCT number 2018-003664-31
Pharmaceutical Preparations for Intradermal Drug Tests
Authors: Ménétré Sophie , Robert Sophie , Demoré Béatrice 
Published: September 2018

AbstractOur department of pharmacy takes over all the medical skin tests prescribed by the allergy department. The production takes place in specific premises, with qualified and calibrated equipment, by a qualified and regularly assessed staff—in compliance with the French preparation guidelines. The whole activity is under the responsibility of a pharmacist—handlings are performed by hospital pharmacy technicians. Each new intradermal skin test demand leads to a feasibility analysis—irritating nature, dilution solvent, concentration—this information is gathered in a thesaurus. The manufacturing steps are the following: prescription validation, production sheet and label printing, preparation of the needed equipment, batch numbers and expiration date checking, handling under a vertical laminar flow hood and control after production. The preparation activity increases continuously and the thesaurus currently contents 302 rows with following information: drug, dilution and reconstitution solvent, pure solution concentration and maximum concentration to test with intradermal tests. Work would prospect in costs reduction and resources optimization. Thanks to the allergists’ confidence, the partnership between the two departments can go on. This guarantees the quality of the preparations tested on patients but also the skin tests reproducibility.
Maintaining coherence in research argument: identifying qualitative differences between experts’ and students’ texts
Authors: Chang Peichin 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This study explores coherence as a textual phenomenon in research writing Introductions. Drawing on Systemic Functional Linguistics, the analysis identifies differences in the quality of coherence in both experts’ and students’ texts by examining the semantic overlaps between the global Themes, followed by the quality of lexical chain deployment, and by how these inform the development of three rhetorical moves. Close analysis was performed on four texts, drawn from the corpora comprising 35 expert and 35 student research Introduction texts. The analysis reveals that the expert and student writers feature different paths in arguing. At global levels, the experts tend to have the key concepts resonate and their arguments are gradually narrowed down to occupy the niche of the study. The key concepts therefore often form into long and mixed chains both to sustain the line of the argument and to elaborate the difficult concepts. In the students’ texts, the key concepts are less consistently deployed, evidenced in how different paragraphs can develop different sets of concepts. Their long chains are also often formed by static terms which do not effectively develop the argument. Critical concepts often do not occupy prominent positions or are not mentioned earlier to allow for elaboration. When combined, these features compromised the development of the rhetorical move in the students’ texts.
