Stimulation Interventions and Parenting in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Meta-analysis
Authors: Jeong Joshua , Pitchik Helen O. , Yousafzai Aisha K. 
Published: March 2018

CONTEXT:
Early childhood stimulation interventions positively impact early child development (ECD) outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. However, trials have less comprehensively evaluated the effects of such parenting programs on caregivers’ skills and capacities.

OBJECTIVE:
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of stimulation interventions on improving parenting outcomes.

DATA SOURCES:
Six electronic bibliographic databases.

STUDY SELECTION:
Inclusion criteria included randomized controlled trials of stimulation interventions designed to improve ECD outcomes during the first 2 years of life that measured any maternal or parenting-related outcome after the start of the intervention.

DATA EXTRACTION:
Two independent reviewers extracted data by using a structured form.

RESULTS:
Fifteen studies representing 13 unique randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. Pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) based on random-effects models revealed medium-to-large benefits of stimulation interventions for improving the home caregiving environment (n = 10; SMD = 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.37 to 0.77), mother-child interactions (n = 3; SMD = 0.44; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.74), and maternal knowledge of ECD (n = 6; SMD = 0.91; 95% CI, 0.51 to 1.31). No significant difference was seen for maternal depressive symptoms (n = 9; SMD = −0.10; 95% CI, −0.23 to −0.03).

LIMITATIONS:
Limitations include heterogeneity across interventions, lack of standardized measures, and different time points of assessments across studies.

CONCLUSIONS:
Early childhood stimulation interventions improve several distinct aspects of maternal parenting. Improvements in parenting capacities may serve as key mechanisms by which these programs benefit ECD outcomes.

The Remarkable Cationic Peptides: A Boon to Pharmaceutical Sciences?
Authors: Omar Ruchi , Yadav Arpita 
Published: March 2018

In this opinion article, the authors discuss a number of interesting, beneficial properties of naturally occurring and synthetic cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with the prospective aim of bringing these compounds into therapeutic use to avoid antibiotic resistance and utilize their numerous properties. The structural diversity and the conformational freedom of these compounds adversely affects their mechanistic elucidation. Our molecular level mechanistic exploration of these peptides has shown their ion carriage properties and systematically explains their antibiotic activity through disruption of bacterial cell homeostasis and inhibition of 14-α demethylase enzyme. We have also shown self-assemblage in AMPs in different nanoparticulate and tubular forms. Some AMPs possess cell penetration capability and their co-administration with drug enhances antibacterial activity through a non-disruptive mechanism. The anti-HIV activity of AMPs has been explained based on their non-covalent, non-base-pair base-pair type interactions with HIV viral ssRNA template. Design of peptidomimetic compounds with enhanced druggability based on our mechanistic explorations will definitely lead to better non-toxic drugs with antibacterial, anti-HIV activity and may contribute towards development of efficient drug delivery systems.

A sociologia clínica no Brasil
Authors: Nunes Christiane Girard Ferreira , Silva Pedro Henrique Isaac 
Published: March 2018

Este artigo se propõe a refletir a respeito da sociologia clínica no Brasil, trazendo inicialmente uma análise da história de sua construção no âmbito internacional, evi- denciando o seu desenvolvimento no contexto da sociologia francesa, onde a sociolo- gia clínica encontrou maior ressonância e construiu um campo mais estruturado. No âmbito de suas contribuições teóricas e metodológicas para a sociologia em geral, a sociologia clínica se propõe a realizar três reflexões primordiais: a análise das articu- lações entre os determinismos sociais e os determinismos psíquicos; a questão do su- jeito nas ciências humanas e sociais; a abordagem clínica como condição necessária ao desenvolvimento de uma sociologia crítica. Partindo das principais questões que norteiam o campo, como a noção da intervenção, e de como ele se construiu interna- cionalmente, analisamos o modo como a sociologia clínica se desenvolveu no Brasil, bem como os limites e desafios para o seu desenvolvimento; questões essas que não limitam nem desafiam apenas a abordagem sociológica clínica, mas que perpassam as ciências sociais de maneira mais ampla.
Governo, gestão de populações e subjetividades: balanço e perspectivas analíticas
Authors: Miagusko Edson , Jardim Fabiana A. A. , Côrtes Mariana 
Published: March 2018

Apresentamos um balanço do debate acadêmico sobre governo das populações nas periferias. Nacionalmente, argumentamos com base nas apostas analíticas e políticas: a promessa de in- tegração das populações marginais pela mediação dos direitos sociais dos 1980; o desmanche neoliberal e o fim da hipótese superadora dos 1990; nos 2000, a compreensão de que a governa- mentalidade neoliberal opera pela multiplicação de regimes de governos. Internacionalmente, exploramos três eixos teórico-conceituais: a teoria da marginalidade; o conceito de governa- mentalidade e as antropologias do Estado. Destacamos, nos avanços, a atenção à complexidade de configurações históricas e a superação de fronteiras disciplinares rígidas, o que permite re- compor perspectivas menos particulares e a constituição de novas ferramentas de análise para pensar a experiência brasileira.
Estimation of return period and its uncertainty for the recent 2013–2015 drought in the Han River watershed in South Korea
Authors: Kim Jin-Young , So Byung-Jin , Kwon Hyun-Han , Kim Tae-Woong , Lee Joo-Heon 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This study introduces an approach to copula model parameter estimation within a Bayesian framework. The model is applied to estimate the return periods of the 2013–2015 drought in the Han River watershed (South Korea) as observed through a network of 18 rainfall stations in the watershed. For the univariate return periods, some of the 2013–2015 drought durations (i.e., 9–24 months) have return periods of around 30 years while the drought severities (which range from about 400 to 1,400 mm) at certain stations might be regarded as extreme events with return periods in the hundreds of years. The recent drought is extraordinary at many stations in the Han River watershed although the associated uncertainty is quite large (e.g., for the Seoul station, a range of about 180 to 2,250 years). Moreover, it is clearly seen that the unprecedented joint return periods of the 2013–2015 drought at many stations are consistent with the very high drought severity. The joint return period of the drought duration and severity is above 100 years for many of the stations and upwards of 1,000 years for a few stations.
One-pot Synthesis of Novel 2-pyrazolo-3-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-ones Using DSDABCOC as an Effective Media
Authors: Taherkhorsand Hasti , Nikpassand Mohammad 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Thiazolidine compounds are known to show interesting pharmacological
activity. In particular, they are used as antiseizure, fungicidal, anti-bacterial, antitubercular, antiinflammatory,
antiamoebic, anti-diabetic and local anesthetic agents. Some of these compounds have
also shown antiparkinsonism, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, hypoglycemic and non-narcotic analgesic
activities. On the other hand, pyrazoles have shown antibacterial, antitumor, antiviral, antifungal,
anti-tubercular, antiparasitic, anesthetic, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and insecticidal
activities. In order to improve the pharmacological effects of thiazolidine-4-ones, new pyrazole
derivatives have been synthesized.

Material and Methods:
A mixture of pyrazolcarbaldehydes, anilines, thioglycolic acid and
DSDABCOC was stirred at room temperature for the required reaction times. The progress of the
reaction was monitored by TLC (EtOAc: petroleum ether 1:3). After completion of the reaction as
indicated by TLC, the ionic liquid was separated by extraction with 2×15 mL of water. The solid
residue was separated by column chromatography. The product was recrystallized from EtOH. The
pure products were collected in 82-92% yields.

Results:
In continuation of our ongoing studies to synthesize heterocyclic and pharmaceutical
compounds under mild and practical protocols, we wish to report herein our experimental results on
the ultrasound promoted synthesis of 2-pyrazolo-3-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-ones using various
synthesized pyrazolecarbaldehydes, anilines and thioglycolic acid at room temperature. The results
illustrated that ionic liquid DSDABCOC certainly improved the yield of the products and reduced
the reaction time.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, we have developed an efficient and simple protocol for the synthesis of
novel pyrazolo-1,3-thiazolidine-4-ones using DSDABCOC as an ionic liquid. The easy workup
together with the use of inexpensive, reusable and eco-friendly ionic liquid is the notable feature of
this novel procedure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the synthesis of a new
library of 1,3-thiazolidine-4-ones bearing a pyrazolyl moiety that enhances the biological activity
under solvent-free conditions.
A Phosphine-mediated Synthesis of 2,3,4,5-tetra-substituted Nhydroxypyrroles from α-oximino Ketones and Dialkyl Acetylenedicarboxylates Under Ionic Liquid Green-media
Authors: Shahvelayati Ashraf S. , Ghazvini Maryam , Yadollahzadeh Khadijeh , Delbari Akram S. 
Published: March 2018

Background:
The development of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) in the presence of
task-specific ionic liquids (ILs), used not only as environmentally benign reaction media, but also as
catalysts, is a new approach that meet with the requirements of sustainable chemistry.

In recent years, the use of ionic liquids as a green media for organic synthesis has become a chief
study area. This is due to their unique properties such as non-volatility, non-flammability, chemical
and thermal stability, immiscibility with both organic compounds and water and recyclability. Ionic
liquids are used as environmentally friendly solvents instead of hazardous organic solvents.

Objective:
We report the condensation reaction between α-oximinoketone and dialkyl acetylene
dicarboxylate in the presence of triphenylphosphine to afford substituted pyrroles under ionic liquid
conditions in good yields.

Result:
Densely functionalized pyrroles was easily prepared from reaction of α-oximinoketones,
dialkyl acetylene dicarboxylate in the presence of triphenylphosphine in a quantitative yield under
ionic liquid conditions at room temperature.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, ionic liquids are indicated as a useful and novel reaction medium for the
selective synthesis of functionalized pyrroles. This reaction medium can replace the use of hazardous
organic solvents. Easy work-up, synthesis of polyfunctional compounds, decreased reaction time,
having easily available-recyclable ionic liquids, and good to high yields are advantages of present
method.
What Role for Republicanism? A Reply to Andrew Fraser
Authors: Williams George 
Published: March 2018

Andrew Fraser has made a valuable contribution to the debate over the role of republicanism in Australia. He has raised an important, and generally ignored, question: would Keating's model for an Australian republic achieve a republican republic? A corollary of this is a further question: is it in any event desirable that an Australian republic be based upon the strong republicanism favoured by Fraser? On the former question, I would agree with Fraser that Keating's model would not imbue the Australian nation with Fraser's version of republicanism and that, if Fraser's version of republicanism were to be accepted, Australia would remain an unrepublican republic. However, as to the latter question, we would disagree. Fundamentally, I do not see Fraser's version of strong republicanism as being viable.Fraser has significantly broadened the discussion of republicanism and has widened perceptions of what the ideology, for want of a better word, might encompass. However, while much of his criticism of my article, “A Republicanism Tradition for Australia?”, is explicable on the basis that he and I obviously share very different starting-points and approaches, I feel that he has misconstrued my argument in some respects.
Introduction and Overview
Authors: Creyke Robin 
Published: March 2018

This special edition of the Federal Law Review, in the 50th Anniversary year of the Australian National University, contains a study of recent developments in administrative law. The conference at which these papers were presented was part of the first Public Law Weekend hosted by the Centre for International and Public Law in the Law Faculty, and held on 30-31 August 1996. Speakers included eminent administrative law academics from the Australian National University, the University of Sydney and the University of Western Australia, together with legal practitioners and prominent figures from State and Commonwealth public administration. The conference had been preceded by a half-day seminar to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Report of the Commonwealth Administrative Review Committee (the “Kerr Committee”), one of the foundation documents setting out the blueprint for Commonwealth administrative law.Speakers at the Public Law Weekend were asked to identify significant developments over the range of government activities which are subject to administrative law. The four sessions, therefore, covered decisions by the newer investigative and inquisitorial bodies; by courts exercising judicial review; by the now firmly entrenched, but disparate, family of tribunals; and, finally, by those bodies creating the jurisprudence relating to access to government information.
Patent Claims for Analogous Use and the Threshold Requirement of Inventiveness
Authors: Brennan David J , Christie Andrew F 
Published: March 2018

Invented by Thomas Edison, the electric light bulb was the subject-matter of United States Patent Number 223,898 granted on 27 January 1880. The electric light bulb has come to be recognised universally as the symbol of invention. Patent claims providing for a compact fluorescent light bulb have, over one hundred years later in the N. V. Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken and Another v Mirabella International Pty Ltd litigation, been held by a court at first instance and two appeal courts to be not claims for a “patentable invention” under s 18 of the Patents Act 1990 (Cth).Anglo-Australian patent law has been vigilant to deny patentability where, on the face of the specification, a claim is “nothing but a claim for the use of a known material in the manufacture of known articles for a purpose of which its known properties make that material suitable” — referred to herein as an “analogous use” claim.
Citizenship and the Constitutional Convention Debates: A Mere Legal Inference
Authors: Rubenstein Kim 
Published: March 2018

“Again, I ask are we to have a Commonwealth citizenship? If we are, why is it not to be implanted in the Constitution? Why is it to be merely a legal inference?”These exasperated words were uttered by John Quick on Wednesday, 2nd March, 1898, in the concluding stages of the Australasian Federal Convention Debates that led to the formation of the Australian Constitution. Quick wanted a definition of citizenship in the Constitution. The Commonwealth, he argued, should have power to deal with Commonwealth citizenship, and membership of the Commonwealth; he advocated a “common citizenship for the whole of the Australian Commonwealth”. His proposals were rejected.
