Documenting London’s bass culture and blues dances: Reggae in the films of Horace Ové and Franco Rosso
Authors: Smith Kate Bolgar 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This article provides an analysis of two black British feature films – Horace Ové’s 1975 film, Pressure and Franco Rosso’s 1980 film, Babylon – and integrates the films into a wider discussion of life in Britain during the 1970s–80s. Drawing on the musical and cultural theories of Paul Gilroy and on the poet Linton Kwesi Johnson’s concept of ‘bass culture’, the author argues that reggae creates what Clare Corbould calls an ‘aural community’ that is simultaneously local and transnational. The reggae soundtracks layer Britain’s black history into the built space of London, insisting that the films’ audiences hear the ongoing reverberations of the British histories of slavery and colonialism.
Sound system aesthetics in contemporary art
Authors: Møstad Vincent 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The Jamaican sound system is an assemblage of practices and ideas that make things visible, audible and tactile, which would otherwise remain obscured, a machine for waging epistemological warfare and mobilizing creative capacities otherwise excluded. This article explores such practices in the work of Nadine Robinson and Tom Sachs, two artists who deploy sound system methods and materials in their work. In studying sound systems’ iterations in the world of contemporary art, this article proposes that Jamaican sonic practice is generative of distinctive aesthetic and critical strategies.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The present paper demonstrates application of biocatalysis to the synthesis of ethyl hexanoate, i.e. pineapple flavour ester, in a solvent free system. In order to evaluate the effect of various process parameters on reaction conversion, response surface methodology (RSM) complemented by central composite design (CCD) was employed. A maximum conversion of 88.57% was obtained while changing one factor at a time, at optimum conditions of temperature (50 °C), enzyme dose (2%), molar ratio acid to alcohol (1:3), speed of agitation 250 rpm and reaction time of 120 min. Based on this RSM study, the optimum predicted conditions were: 1:3.39 alcohol to acid ratio, 2.35% enzyme loading and 48.83 oC, for a predicted conversion of 90.99%. The activation energy for the enzymatic esterification was determined and calculated to be 25.76 kJ/mol. The positive values of Gibbs-free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH) and negative value of entropy (ΔS) revealed that the esterification reaction was non-spontaneous and an endothermic reaction. The reaction seems to follow bi-substrate Ping Pong Bi Bi mechanism with inhibition by both substrates.

Abstract

Objective
To determine the frequency of detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) among infants evaluated for late-onset sepsis in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Methods
This study was a prospective cohort study.

Results
During the 13-month study, 84 infants underwent 116 sepsis evaluations, and CMV DNA was detected in saliva in three (4%) infants (median: gestational age 28 weeks, birth weight 950 g), representing 5% (n=6) of all sepsis evaluations. One infant had CMV DNA detected in saliva in all four sepsis evaluations. Two infants had acquired CMV infection, while the timing of CMV acquisition could not be determined in one infant. Two of the three infants had concomitant Gram-negative bacteremia and urinary tract infections (UTIs), two developed severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and none died.

Conclusion
Detection of CMV DNA in saliva occurred in 4% of infants and 5% of sepsis evaluations. Persistence of CMV DNA shedding in saliva made attribution of clinical illness difficult to ascertain.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
LiNiO2 was prepared through two-step solid-state reaction by mechanochemical method and heat treatment, using LiOH (Li2CO3) and Ni(OH)2 as starting materials. The influence of grinding speed and time, heat treatment time, and starting materials on the structure of LiNiO2 was studied. The as-milled samples and products were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that uniform as-milled samples can be obtained at grinding speed of 580 rpm for 0.5 h, using LiOH and Ni(OH)2 as raw materials. Perfect crystal LiNiO2 has been prepared by calcining the as-milled samples at 700 °C for 15 h. Composite material powders consisting of Li2Ni8O10 and LiNiO2 have been obtained using Li2CO3 as lithium source.

Linguistic Paradox and Diglossia: the emergence of Sanskrit and Sanskritic language in Ancient India
Authors: Houben Jan E.M. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
“We know that Middle Indian (Middle Indo-Aryan) makes its appearance in epigraphy prior to Sanskrit: this is the great linguistic paradox of India.” In these words Louis Renou (1956: 84) referred to a problem in Sanskrit studies for which so far no satisfactory solution had been found. I will here propose that the perceived “paradox” derives from the lack of acknowledgement of certain parameters in the linguistic situation of Ancient India which were insufficiently appreciated in Renou’s time, but which are at present open to systematic exploration with the help of by now well established sociolinguistic concepts, notably the concept of “diglossia”. Three issues will here be addressed in the light of references to ancient and classical Indian texts, Sanskrit and Sanskritic. A simple genetic model is indadequate, especially when the ‘linguistic area’ applies also to what can be reconstructed for earlier periods. The so-called Sanskrit “Hybrids” in the first millennium CE, including the Prakrits and Epics, are rather to be regarded as emerging “Ausbau” languages of Indo-Aryan with hardly any significant mutual “Abstand” before they will be succesfully “roofed,” in the second half of the first millennium CE, by “classical” Sanskrit.

Blu-Ray Media Stability and Suitability for Long-Term Storage
Authors: Iraci Joe 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The most recent generation of optical disc media available is the Blu-ray format. Blu-rays offer significantly more storage capacity than compact discs (CDs) and digital versatile discs (DVDs) and thus are an attractive option for the storage of large image or audio and video files. However, uncertainty exists on the stability and longevity of Blu-ray discs and the literature does not contain much information on these topics. In this study, the stabilities of Blu-ray formats such as read-only movie discs as well as many different brands of recordable and erasable media were evaluated. Testing involved the exposure of samples to conditions of 80 °C and 85 % relative humidity for intervals up to 84 days. Overall, the stability of the Blu-ray formats was poor with many discs significantly degraded after only 21 days of accelerated ageing. In addition to large increases in error rates, many discs showed easily identifiable visible degradation in several different forms. In a comparison with other optical disc formats examined previously, Blu-ray stability ranked very low. Other data from the study indicated that recording Blu-ray media with low initial error rates is challenging for some brands at this time, which is a factor that ultimately affects longevity.
The role of pain in chronic pain patients’ perception of health-related quality of life: a cross-sectional SQRP study of 40,000 patients
Authors: Molander Peter , Dong Huan-Ji , Äng Björn , Enthoven Paul , Gerdle Björn 
Published: May 2018

Abstract

Background and aims
Health-related quality of life (Hr-QoL) reflects the burden of a condition on an overarching level. Pain intensity, disability and other factors influence how patients with chronic pain perceive their condition, e.g. Hr-QoL. However, the relative importance of these factors is unclear and there is an ongoing debate as to what importance pain measures have in this group. We investigated the importance of current pain level and mood on aspects of Hr-QoL in patients with chronic pain and investigated whether such relationships are influenced by demographics.

Methods
Data was obtained from the Swedish Quality Registry for Pain Rehabilitation (SQRP), between 2008 and 2016 on patients ≥18 years old who suffered from chronic pain and were referred to participating specialist clinics. Dependent variables were general Hr-QoL [using two scales from European Quality of Life instrument: EQ5D Index and the European Quality of Life instrument health scale (EQ thermometer)] and specific Hr-QoL [from the Short Form Health Survey (SF36) the physical component summary (SF36-PCS) and the mental (psychological) component summary (SF36-MCS)]. Independent variables were sociodemographic variables, pain variables, psychological distress and pain attitudes. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for multivariate correlation analyses of all investigated variables and Orthogonal Partial Least Square Regression (OPLS) for multivariate regressions on health aspects.

Results
There was 40,518 patients (72% women). Pain intensity and interference showed the strongest multivariate correlations with EQ5D Index, EQ thermometer and SF36-PCS. Psychological distress variables displayed the strongest multivariate correlations with SF36-MCS. Demographic properties did not significantly influence variations in the investigated Hr-QoL variables.

Conclusions
Pain, mood and pain attitudes were significantly correlated with Hr-QoL variables, but these variables cannot explain most of variations in Hr-QoL variables. The results pinpoint that broad assessments (including pain intensity aspects) are needed to capture the clinical presentation of patients with complex chronic pain conditions.
Simple Electroless Synthesis of Cobalt Nanoparticle Chains, Oriented by Externally Applied Magnetic Fields
Authors: Wen Xiaogang , Gu Lin , Bittner Alexander M. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The electroless (chemical) deposition of cobalt on palladium-sensitized oxidized silicon wafers produces nanowires and chains made up by nanoparticles. We demonstrate that the application of moderate magnetic fields, provided by permanent magnets, during the growth produces highly oriented cobalt nanowires and nanoparticle chains. By adjusting the magnetic field direction in plane, parallel and crossed cobalt chain patterns are readily accessible. Perpendicular orientation of the field results in rod-like, standing-up chains of nanoparticles. We explain the observed structures with magnetostatic arguments.
God, Country, and Anita Bryant: Women’s Leadership and the Politics of the New Christian Right
Authors: Johnson Emily Suzanne 
Published: May 2018

AbstractAs a new cohort of religious conservatives became major players in U.S. political discourse during the 1970s and 1980s, they expressed ambivalence about the political realm and often represented their religious motivations as simultaneously separate from politics and as justification for their political activism. Prominent conservative evangelical women drew on this ambivalence in specifically gendered ways, referencing their religious commitments as well as their roles as mothers, which they asserted both compelled them to speak out on political issues, and proved that these issues were not fundamentally political. Building on scholarship about women’s grassroots support in conservative movements, this article underscores the importance of women’s national leadership in the New Christian Right. It focuses on the career of singerturned- activist Anita Bryant, who offers a particularly instructive example due to her public and explicit transformation from representative symbol of American motherhood to outspoken political activist in the late 1970s. Within the context of a flourishing evangelical subculture and shifting political landscape, Bryant’s negotiations of her political authority exemplify conservative evangelical women’s ways of understanding their leadership in support of a platform that emphasized women’s domestic roles. It demonstrates how they invoked an existing tension between religious and political identification to expand the ideology of “traditional gender roles” without overstepping its bounds. More broadly, Bryant’s career offers insight into the importance of women’s national leadership in framing the rhetoric and priorities of the New Christian Right, including its central emphases on gender and its relationship with contemporary feminist movements.

A Magyar nyelvű sportmotivációs skála (H-SMS) validációja és eredményei
Authors: Paic Róbert , Kajos Attila , Meszler Balázs , Prisztóka Gyöngyvér 
Published: May 2018

Háttér és célok: 2016-ban a Sportmotivációs Skála javított verziója (SMS2) kapcsán végzett fordítási és validációs próbálkozásaink során megállapítottuk, hogy a magyar nyelv sajátosságai, valamint a magyar sportolók gondolkodásának eltérő vonásai nem feltétlenül teszik lehetővé a sportmotivációs skálák egy az egyben történő fordítását. Ezért az eredeti irányvonalat és az eredeti elméleti keretrendszert, vagyis az önmeghatározás- elméletet (SDT – Self-determination theory) és annak faktorait (belső motiváció, integrált, identifikált, introjektált, külső szabályozás, amotiváció) megtartva, a magyar viszonyokhoz igazított, a nemzetközi eredményekkel mégis alapvetően összevethető instrumentum megalkotását tűztük ki célul.Módszer: Az eredeti, angol nyelvű SMS2 skála kialakításához használt 61 item fordítását követően annak 500 fős sportolói mintán történő validálására került sor feltáró és magyarázó faktoranalízis révén. A mintát 319 férfiés 181 nő alkotta, átlagos életkoruk 21,16 év (szórás 6,45) volt.Eredmények: A feltáró faktorelemzéssel kapott magyar nyelvű Sportmotivációs Skála (H-SMS) 22 tételének faktorstruktúrája az eredeti (SMS2) mérőeszköz faktorszerkezetéhez nagyon hasonló maradt. A H-SMS végső, megerősítő faktorelemzéssel kialakított verziója 6 faktort és 19 tételt foglal magába, melyeket egy 7 fokú skálán válaszol meg a kitöltő. A végleges változat két különböző modell közül került kiválasztásra, és maximálisan megfelel a pszichometriai instrumentumokkal szemben támasztott érvényességi (CMIN/df = 1,77; SRMSR = 0,042; RMSEA = 0,040; PCLOSE = 0,983; NFI = 0,953; TLI = 0,973; CFI = 0,979), valamint megbízhatósági (Cronbach alfa = 0,79–0,89; CR = 0,80–0,94; AVE = 0,65–0,89; AVE > MSV) kritériumoknak. Az eredetitől eltérően a végső struktúrában az intrinzik motivációt mérő faktort két alfaktorra osztottuk: az észlelt kompetenciára (kognitív) és az önhatékonyság növelésére (effektív) irányuló intrinzik motivációra.Konklúzió: Az eredmények alapján biztonsággal kijelenthető, hogy a skála messzemenőkig alkalmas a sporthoz köthető motivációk mérésére, valamint a nemzetközi eredményekkel való összehasonlításra is.
Clinical and electrophysiological correlation of peripheral neuropathy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Bhuyan Ashok K. , Appaiah Sonali 
Published: May 2018

Background: The study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in newly diagnosed type2 Diabetes mellitus (DM) by clinical examination and nerve conduction study (NCS), and to correlate them with risk factors.Methods: Eighty newly detected cases of type2DM of age ≥18 years attending Endocrinology Department of Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Assam, India were evaluated. Grading of symptoms and signs was done using the Neuropathy Symptoms Score (NSS) and Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS) respectively followed by NCS. Neuropathy was diagnosed based on abnormal NSS, NDS or NCS.Results: Prevalence of peripheral neuropathy was 68.75 % based on abnormal NCS/NDS/NCS. The most common symptom was presence of paraesthesia in 70.9%, followed by weakness in lower limbs in 16.36%. The most common sign was impairment of vibration perception in 76.3%, followed by absent ankle reflex in 56.36%. Abnormal NCS finding was seen in 55% of patients with neuropathy. Of all the patients with neuropathy, only 2.5% had subclinical neuropathy that is abnormal NCS finding in absence of sign and symptoms. Peripheral neuropathy had significant association with age at diagnosis, presence of hypertension, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), HbA1c, serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) (p<0.05). On multiple linear regression analysis, only age at diagnosis and FPG were independently associated with neuropathy (p<0.05).Conclusions: Patients with type 2DM have a high prevalence of peripheral neuropathy at diagnosis and very few of them harbour subclinical neuropathy. This study has shown that clinical examination still remains the main tool for detection of neuropathy.
