Evaluating the Functional and Cognitive Examination for patients with acute acquired brain injury
Authors: Hussein Yasmin , Rose Mark , Gurr Birgit 
Published: January 2019

Background/Aims: The Functional and Cognitive Examination is a cross-battery neuropsychological baseline assessment. It was designed specifically for patients with acquired brain injury in the acute rehabilitation stage. This investigation focused on the utility of the Functional and Cognitive Examination to identify the association between the functional and cognitive performance of acquired brain injury patients and the construct validity of the battery. Methods: The Functional and Cognitive Examination is administered as a standard for all patients admitted to the inpatient neurological assessment and specialist rehabilitation unit. Forty two patients had been recruited over a two year period. Raw scores have been analysed and descriptive data is provided. Spearman's correlations were used to observe associations between functional and cognitive performance. The Functional and Cognitive Examination was also correlated against the Functional Assessment Measure and the Northwick Park Therapy Dependency Assessment. Findings: There was a positive association between lower performance on the Functional and Cognitive Examination cognitive component and the Functional and Cognitive Examination functional task. Similarly, lower scores on the Functional Assessment Measure had positive associations with performance on the Functional and Cognitive Examination functional task. Conclusions: The Functional and Cognitive Examination is a useful neuropsychological baseline assessment. It illustrates that cognitive and functional components are associated and the Functional and Cognitive Examination outcomes are associated with the Functional Assessment Measure.
Creativity and criticality: Reimagining narratives through translanguaging and transmediation
Authors: Darvin Ron 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
This paper asserts that creativity and criticality are interlocked constructs that converge through the shared impetus of challenging existing norms, practices and relations of power. Drawing on data from a student YouTube adaptation of a play about Filipino migrants from a literature textbook, it examines how high school students in the Philippines use their linguistic, multimodal and digital resources to retell a prescribed narrative from their own perspectives and contexts. By conducting a multimodal discourse analysis of this video, this paper demonstrates how these youth engage with translanguaging and transmediation, reshaping the meanings of the primary text while imagining spaces like Canada from their own fixed locations in the Philippines. Through these creative and critical processes, they are able to challenge the boundaries of both word and world, and assert their own voices in the discourse of migration and globalization.
Iranian Expanse
Authors: Canepa Matthew P. 
Published: January 2019

The product of a decade of research, The Iranian Expanse is a study of the natural and built environments of power in Persia and the ancient Iranian world from the consolidation of the Achaemenid Empire in the sixth century BCE to the fall of the Sasanian Empire in the seventh century CE. It analyzes the formation and development of some of the most enduring expressions of power in Persia and the ancient Iranian world: palaces, paradise gardens and hunting enclosures, royal cities, sanctuaries and landscapes marked with a rich history of rock art and ritual activity. It explores how these structures, landscapes and urban spaces constructed and transformed Iranian imperial cosmologies, royal identities, and understandings of the past. While previous studies have often noted startling continuities between the traditions of the Achaemenids and the art and architecture of medieval or Early Modern Islam, they have routinely downplayed or ignored the tumultuous millennium between Alexander and Islam. The first study of its kind, the Iranian Expanse shows how the Seleucids, Arsacids and Sasanians played a transformative role in the development of a new Iranian royal culture that impacted early Islam and the wider Persianate world of such dynasties as the Il-Khans, Safavids, Timurids and Mughals.

RUSIJOS ISTORIJOS POLITIKA
Authors: Lopata Raimundas 
Published: January 2019

Lithuanian authors have challenges to study Russia’s politics of history. The analysis is complicated because of a few factors. Diplomatic disputes and informative wars between Lithuania and Russia concerning historical questions have encouraged researches by historians but not by political scientists. In Lithuania, the questions of who and how is forming the history politics of Russia, what is its content and the function it accomplishes, remain unexamined. The analysis is further complicated by disagreement among Russian political scientists, historians, journalists, and politicians over the existence of such politics. The present analysis demonstrates that post-soviet Russia perceives the importance of historical memory, i.e. it understands that historical memory and its forms depend on the states’ politics. Russia’s political history genesis testifies that trends of such politics depend on the geopolitical orientation of its government. The end of the Cold War did not manage to conceal the fundamental differences between Europe and Russia. The wave of liberalism and democracy, which spread over Central and Eastern Europe as well as Russian Federation, has caused tension in Russia ruled by B. Yeltsin. Yeltsin’s Russia was not able to tackle this problem by using measures of history politics in order to lessen the distance between Russia and the West. V. Putin undertook to find the solution to this situation, and he did. By using changes of international politics, he builds the image of Russia as a great power. Politics of history are subordinated to build this image; also, it is used as an instrument in domestic politics. The history politics of Russia has taken the shape of a manipulative form and serves the interests of V. Putins’s power.
LIETUVOS NARYSTĖ EUROPOS SĄJUNGOJE: EKONOMINĖ RAIDA

This article surveys the Lithuanian economic experience related to its membership in the European Union. It provides an overview of short and medium-term macroeconomic trends as well as issues related to long-term economic development. This article reveals that the Lithuanian economy was highly volatile during the period analysed. After very fast expansion in the wake of the EU accession, the country encountered a very severe economic crisis in 2008–2010. At the same time, it must be noted that Lithuania was the most successful new EU member state in terms of economic convergence, at least when looking at how much it reduced the gap between its GDP per capita and the EU average. This article also looks at changes in the Lithuanian economic integration within the EU. It finds that economic integration in 2004–2014 increased fast in the areas of trade, investments and labour mobility in absolute terms. At the same time, the relative share of trade with EU member states declined.This article also aims to provide a discussion on the EU’s causal influence on the Lithuanian economy. It highlights the issues and complications related to such an evaluation which requires the formulation of a proper counterfactual. To this end, several potential channels of the EU’s influence are analysed. Based on economic theory and literature overview of concrete impact assessments, this article concludes that the membership’s impact was substantial and positive. In terms of different impact channels, increased trade integration, higher foreign direct investments as well as a solidified favourable institutional environment were unequivocally beneficial. At the same time, there were also some negative aspects, primarily related to higher labour mobility which contributed to economic “overheating” prior to the crisis and raises concerns about future growth prospects.
LIETUVOS NARYSTĖ EURO ZONOJE – POKYČIŲ LIETUVOS POLITIKOJE IR STOJIMO LAIKO PASIRINKIMO ANALIZĖ

The article discusses Lithuania’s accession into the euro zone, first, by presenting the political economy analysis of the first unsuccessful attempt to introduce euro in 2007 and then comparing it with the second, successful attempt to do that in 2015. The focus is on legal, institutional and political changes, for example, the strengthening of non-majoritarian institutions, and the functional linkages between monetary policy and budgetary or regulatory policies. It is argued that although the existence of a currency board reduced uncertainty linked to the fluctuating exchange rate regime and facilitated the participation in the Exchange rate mechanism II, due to the lack of political consensus in the country and misaligned monetary and budgetary and regulatory policies, in particular as Parliamentary elections approached, the actual accession into the euro zone was achieved only ten years after joining the EU and Lithuania was the last of the three Baltic States to accomplish that. It should be noted that due to the different regimes of monetary and exchange rate policies in the three Baltic States, on the one hand, and Poland, on the other, for the former the euro introduction represented a final step out of the crisis of 2008–2009 while in the latter the experience of 2009 resulted in the indefinite postponement of this goal. According to the survey of political elites in Lithuania conducted for this project, the main motive for joining the euro zone is mostly linked to the perceived economic benefits, while the ‘seat at the table’, i.e., the possibility to participate in the decisionmaking of the euro zone and security benefits from being part of the core member states of the EU are less important.

Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Evidence-based parenting programs prevent the onset and escalation of youth conduct problems. However, participation rates in such programs are low among hard-to-reach populations, including Filipino individuals. Compared with other ethnic groups, Filipino adolescents have significant mental health disparities. We evaluated the effectiveness of a theory-based, culturally tailored video versus a usual-care mainstream video on enrollment in an evidence-based parenting program among Filipino caregivers of children ages 6 to 12 years and tested theoretical mediators of intervention effect.METHODS:We randomly assigned 215 Filipino participants to view either a theory-based, culturally tailored video based on the Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behavior or a control video. The primary outcome was actual enrollment in an evidence-based parenting intervention. Mediators (knowledge and perceived susceptibility) were modeled as latent variables in a structural equation model.RESULTS:After the intervention, participants in the intervention group had significantly higher knowledge of Filipino adolescent behavioral health disparities and higher perceived susceptibility to adolescent risky sexual activity and illegal drug use. Controlling for child sex, parents in the intervention group had significantly greater odds of actual enrollment in the Incredible Years program (odds ratio = 2.667; 95% confidence interval: 1.328–5.354; P = .006). The intervention effects were mediated by increased knowledge and perceived susceptibility.CONCLUSIONS:Results demonstrated the effectiveness of a theory-based, culturally tailored intervention aimed at increasing participation of a hard-to-engage population in parenting interventions. Videos that include parents and health professionals with whom audiences can identify can be used to produce shifts in knowledge and behavior.

AbstractWith the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and precision medicine, investigators have determined that tumors from different tissue sources that have the same types of genetic mutations will have a positive response to the same targeted therapy. This finding has prompted us to seek potential therapeutic targets for patients with carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) using NGS technology. Here, we reported a case of a woman with CUP resistance to chemotherapy. We detected 450 cancer-related gene alterations using three metastatic tumor specimens and found the presence of EML4 exon13 and ALK exon20 fusion. The tumor did respond to crizotinib, a first-generation ALK inhibitor. When her tumor progressed, circulating tumor DNA detection revealed ALK L1196 M and G1269A mutation resistance to crizotinib, but she had a response to brigatinib. This case revealed that NGS technology used to detect the genetic alterations in patients with CUP might be a reliable method to find potential therapeutic targets, although the primary lesion could not always be confirmed.Key PointsThis case exemplifies responsiveness to ALK inhibitor in carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) with EML4-ALK fusion. Next-generation sequencing is an important diagnostic tool to find potential therapeutic targets in CUP. Liquid biopsy may be useful to provide critical information about resistance mechanisms in CUP to guide sequential treatment decision with targeted therapy.
Upsurge of Homicides and Its Impact on Life Expectancy and Life Span Inequality in Mexico, 2005–2015
Authors: Aburto José Manuel , Beltrán-Sánchez Hiram 
Published: January 2019

Objectives. To quantify the effect of the upsurge of violence on life expectancy and life span inequality in Mexico after 2005. Methods. We calculated age- and cause-specific contributions to changes in life expectancy and life span inequality conditional on surviving to age 15 years between 1995 and 2015. We analyzed homicides, medically amenable conditions, diabetes, ischemic heart diseases, and traffic accidents by state and sex. Results. Male life expectancy at age 15 years increased by more than twice in 1995 to 2005 (1.17 years) than in 2005 to 2015 (0.55 years). Life span inequality decreased by more than half a year for males in 1995 to 2005, whereas in 2005 to 2015 the reduction was about 4 times smaller. Homicides for those aged between 15 and 49 years had the largest effect in slowing down male life expectancy and life span inequality. Between 2005 and 2015, three states in the north experienced life expectancy losses while 5 states experienced increased life span inequality. Conclusions. Ten years into the upsurge of violence, Mexico has not been able to reduce the homicide levels to those before 2005. Life expectancy and life span inequality stagnated since 2005 for young men at the national level. In some states, males live shorter lives than in 2005, on average, and experience higher uncertainty in their eventual death.
HEPATITIS IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Jun So Yon , Schor Tatiana 
Published: January 2019

Resumo
Este artigo examina a prevalência da hepatite na Amazônia brasileira e os esforços para reduzir a disseminação da doença. A hepatite disseminada em áreas ao longo da Amazônia continua sendo uma fonte de preocupação para as autoridades de saúde pública brasileiras, uma vez que sugere baixos níveis de saneamento e consciência geral da doença. Muitas vezes, é difícil obter dados de saúde na Amazônia brasileira devido à dificuldade de acessar e avaliar ameaças nessas áreas. Uma revisão bibliométrica da hepatite na Amazônia brasileira revela uma escassez de dados e pesquisas sobre o assunto. Como as mudanças no ambiente e no clima provavelmente levarão a um aumento da carga de doenças entre as populações rurais e urbanas, há a necessidade de um estudo abrangente sobre a dinâmica da infecção por hepatite entre os brasileiros que vivem na região amazônica. Agentes de saúde pública e agências governamentais devem trabalhar juntos para obter dados longitudinais sobre a transmissão de hepatite.
