Summary Intermittent administration of human parathyroid hormone (1-34) (hPTH(1-34)) promotes anabolic action in bone by stimulating bone remodeling, while eldecalcitol, an analog of active vitamin D3, suppresses osteoclastic bone resorption, and forms new bone by minimodeling. We have examined the biological effects of combined administration of eldecalcitol and hPTH(1-34) on 9-week-old Wistar rats that underwent an ovariectomy (OVX) or Sham operation. They were divided into a Sham group, OVX with vehicle (OVX group), OVX with 10 µg/kg/day of hPTH(1-34) (PTH group), OVX with 20 ng/kg/day of eldecalcitol (eldecalcitol group) or OVX with 10 μg/kg/day of hPTH(1-34), and 20 ng/kg/day of eldecalcitol (combined group) for 4 or 8 weeks. As a consequence, the combined group showed a marked increase in bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and trabecular number (Tb.N) than OVX and had the highest bone mineral density (BMD) compared with other groups. OVX and PTH groups exhibited a high osteoblastic surface/bone surface (Ob.S/BS), mineral apposition rate (MAR), and bone formation rate/bone surface (BFR/BS) indices and many TRAP-reactive osteoclasts. Contrastingly, eldecalcitol and combined groups tended to attenuate the indices of osteoclastic surface/bone surface (Oc.S/BS) and Ob.S/BS than that the other groups. The combined group revealed histological profiles of minimodeling- and remodeling-based bone formation. Thus, the combined administration of eldecalcitol and hPTH(1-34) augments their anabolic effects by means of minimodeling and remodeling.
Street-style geographies: Re-mapping the fashion blogipelago
Authors: Luvaas Brent 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
When street-style blogs – amateur web journals featuring photographs of stylish pedestrians from around the world – began to pop up on the Internet in 2005, they appeared to challenge the established geographic hierarchies of the global fashion industry. Shot by fashion outsiders with little formal training in photography, they featured a variety of people and places far outside the purview of the industry. Drawing in millions of readers, including trend forecasters, editors and designers from within the industry, blogs seemed to be a democratizing force in fashion, drawing attention to once peripheral fashion capitals like Helsinki, Cape Town and Buenos Aires, and creating a backdoor into the industry for their proprietors. But such a state of affairs could only last so long. This article traces the evolution of street-style blogs from the vantage points of several prominent street-style bloggers. As it does so, it chronicles the geographic struggles operating within the fashion ‘blogipelago’; the efforts of bloggers to expand the fashion world map; and the efforts of industry insiders to draw attention back to the established fashion capitals: New York, London, Milan and Paris.
The dressed body, material and technology: Rethinking the hijab through sartorial sociology
Authors: Almila Anna-Mari 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
This article explores the opportunities provided to dress and fashion studies by an analytical focus on garments through a number of disciplinary and conceptual lenses. Drawing upon sociological sources, including Bourdieu’s practice theory and Alfred Gell’s insights of human/object agency, as well as anthropology, considerations of material technologies and clothing physiology, a framework is developed for depicting the many roles that textile materials and garment objects play in knowledge-creation, individual experiences of wearing garments and the operation of habitus. In my case study analysis of female Islamic veiling in Finland, I draw upon both primary data and secondary sources that take account of histories – involving individual histories, socio-cultural histories, histories of technological and material developments and histories of transnational trade routes – and materialities, including the physicality of garments, human bodies and physical and spatial environments.
Sartorially weaving their way through bhodrota (respectability): Georgette sarees, bangles and selling sex in a Kolkata neighbourhood
Authors: Guha Mirna 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
In this excerpt, I unpack my field notes from the day to reveal the ways in which female sex workers in Kalighat, a red-light area embedded in a middleclass neighbourhood in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, negotiate middle-class norms of respectability and female propriety. Specifically, I focus on how the women navigate and manipulate sartorial norms which are imposed on them and their work to their social and economic advantage.

Avondale Dogs: The parallelism between music and film
Authors: Villalvazo David 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Film editing deals with shots composed by melodic, harmonic and rhythmic elements and combines them into unities developed through time. In Avondale Dogs, cinematic passages about an ill mother, a dead pigeon, friendly neighbours and scattered pies provide eloquent clues about some fundamental characteristics shared by music and film.

Published: October 2018

In the given article special attention is paid to the transformation of the structure of average carbon steels, depending on technological methods of strengthening, the identification of factors influencing the emergence of high-strength structures. With the help of microstructural, X - ray phase studies, microhardness measurements of certain layers, the main technological parameters and modes of reinforcing workings have been identified, new and innovative combined technologies have been proposed. Based on the analysis of a number of existing technological methods of strengthening the surface layer of structural materials, the dynamics of transformation of their microstructures was researched. After laser treatment, due to the ultra-high velocity of cooling of crystallized volumes, due to intensive heat removal through the main volume of samples on the surface, a light zone, which is not digestible, is identified and is identified as "structurally martensitic" - gardenain, which is a kind of classical martensite. Based on the analysis of a number of existing technological methods of strengthening the surface layer of structural materials, the dynamics of transformation of their microstructures was researched.
Der Wiederaufbau von Florenz 1945
Authors: Kossel Elmar 
Published: October 2018

AbstractFlorence suffered heavy destruction due to blasting by the german Wehrmacht in the area around the Ponte Vecchio in 1944. On the question of how the historic, in the core medieval buildings should be rebuilt, a vigorous debate was ignited, which also was intensively conducted in public. The debates core was about the question of wether the old center should be reconstructed exactly as it was or should a modern and contemporary solution be given priority. The art historian Bernhard Berenson and the archeologist Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli exemplified the position in the debate for the Florentine context. Linked to this discussion was also the question, how Italy would present itself after war and fascism as a new and democratic society. The built result can be seen as a compromise of these positions, as the new architecture is added in the center emphasized inconspicuousDespite the consistently negative reception, it was possible to dissociate oneself in two respects from this locally located variety of post-war modernity: On the one hand, the international architectural scene and, on the other hand, its own architectural heritage which is contaminated by fascism. The reference to its own architectural heritage and the very independent appropriation of international influences should remain the basic characteristic of the »Scuola Fiorentina« until the mid-1970s
La reconstruction de Royan
Authors: Ragot Gilles 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The coastal city Royan was destroyed in 1945 to 85% and was rebuild first of all by Claude Ferret and Louis Simon. The reconstruction of the city contributed significantly the formation of the modernism in the 1950’s. However, this avant-garde image did not express in the first projects, they still where in the continuity of the monumental architecture of the 1930’s. Only the revival of the architectural discourse at the end of the 1940’s led to a profound change in the urban and architectonic planning of the reconstruction, especially the publications of journals about the modern Brazilian architecture. Nowadays, the reconstructed city Royan is an example for the invention for a modern ›coastal style‹, balnéaire modern, which is also called ›1950s style‹ or style 50’. The process of reconstruction of this small resort proves to be an extraordinary object of research about the significance of culture and role models as part of every creative urban and architectural process.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is an unsolved health problem which seriously affects human health around the world. miR-34a-5p acting as a tumor-suppressor is associated with left ventricular remodeling. We aimed to explore the functional roles of miR-34a-5p in cardiomyocytes. Hypoxia-induced cell injury in H9c2, HL-1 and human cardiac myocytes was analyzed according to the decrease of cell viability and increase of apoptosis. Expression of miR-34a-5p was measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) when the concentration of O2 was decreased. Then, the effects of aberrantly expressed miR-34a-5p on proliferation and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes incubated under hypoxia were assessed. Finally, the downstream protein and signaling pathways of miR-34a-5p were explored. The hypoxic model was successfully constructed after incubation under hypoxia for 48 h. When the concentration of O2 decreased, the miR-34a-5p level was increased significantly. Then, we found miR-34a-5p aggravated hypoxia-induced alterations of proliferation and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) was identified as a target of miR-34a-5p, and miR-34a-5p conferred its function via targeting ZEB1. Finally, miR-34a-5p inhibition reversed hypoxia-induced decreases of phosphorylated kinases in the JAK/STAT and PI3K/AKT pathways through up-regulating ZEB1. Our study revealed that miR-34a-5p inhibition protected cardiomyocytes against hypoxia-induced cell injury through activating the JAK/STAT and PI3K/AKT pathways by targeting ZEB1.
An Improved Analytical Solution of Population Balance Equation Involving Aggregation and Breakage via Fibonacci and Lucas Approximation Method
Authors: Pınar Zehra , Dutta Abhishek , Kassemi Mohammed , Öziş Turgut 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThis study presents a novel analytical solution for the Population Balance Equation (PBE) involving particulate aggregation and breakage by making use of the appropriate solution(s) of the associated complementary equation of a nonlinear PBE via Fibonacci and Lucas Approximation Method (FLAM). In a previously related study, travelling wave solutions of the complementary equation of the PBE using Auxiliary Equation Method (AEM) with sixth order nonlinearity was taken to be analogous to the description of the dynamic behavior of the particulate processes. However, in this study, the class of auxiliary equations is extended to Fibonacci and Lucas type equations with given transformations to solve the PBE. As a proof-of-concept for the novel approach, the general case when the number of particles varies with respect to time is chosen. Three cases i. e. balanced aggregation and breakage and when either aggregation or breakage can dominate are selected and solved for their corresponding analytical solution and compared with the available analytical approaches. The solution obtained using FLAM is found to be closer to the exact solution and requiring lesser parameters compared to the AEM and thereby being a more robust and reliable framework.
A randomized comparative study of herbal decoction of Cassia fistula Linn pod's pericarp and Myristica fragrans Houtt arils vs. mefenamic acid in spasmodic dysmenorrhoea
Authors: Anjum Amera , Sultana Arshiya 
Published: October 2018

Abstract

Background
To compare the efficacy and safety of herbal decoction (pods of Cassia fistula Linn. and Arils of Myristica fragrans Houtt) with mefenamic acid in spasmodic dysmenorrhoea.

Methods
In this single-blind, prospective, parallel, standard controlled study, dysmenorrheic patients (n=64) were randomly allocated to receive herbal decoction (n=31) or mefenamic acid (n=33) for two consecutive menstrual cycles. Treatment group received 180 mL herbal decoction of post amaltas (Cassia fistula L pod’s pericarp) (21 g), bisbasah (Myristica fragrans Houtt arils) (3 g) and qand siyah (jaggery) (30 g) which were orally administered at morning for 3 days before the expected start of menstruation. The control group received mefenamic acid 500 mg orally twice daily between day 1 and day 3 of menstruation. The primary outcomes were visual analog scale (VAS) for pain intensity, pain relief scale and the safety assessment by clinical examination and biochemical parameters. The secondary outcomes included health-related quality of life (HRQoL) determined by SF-12 health survey questionnaire, duration of pain and pictorial blood assessment chart score for menstrual blood loss. The data were statistically interpreted with 5% level of significance.

Results
At the baseline, on day 1, pain severity for VAS score between the groups [7.09 ± 1.07 vs. 6.75 ± 1.09] had no significant difference (p>0.05). However, during the second menstrual cycle, a significant reduction [0.03 + 0.17 vs. 0.42 + 1.44] in pain severity on day 1 was noted in both groups (p<0.001). During the second menstrual cycle, improvement in HRQoL health survey [SF-12 total score: 85.88 ± 5.99 vs 74.83 ± 15.9] and reduction in pain duration were significantly higher in the treatment group compared to the control group. No side effects were reported.

Conclusion
Herbal decoction was effective to relieve pain and to improve HRQoL in spasmodic dysmenorrhoea.

Authors: Ahmad Saeed , Perveen Samya , Arshad Muhammad Adeel , Rehman Tayyeba 
Published: October 2018

Abstract

Background

Euphorbia granulata is herb of family Euphorbiaceae having several traditional uses. The aim of the study is to summarize reported nutritional and medicinal value along with ethnomedical records.

Methods
The papers on nutritional and medicinal value of E. granulata are collected from electronic search engines (Google Scholar, PubMed). Synonyms are confirmed from “The plant List.”

Results
Pharmacological studies suggest that the extracts of E. granulata possess antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, diuretic, antiulcerative colitis and spasmolytic properties. Moreover, it is rich with nutritive components such as carbohydrates, lipid contents (saturated and unsaturated fatty acids), minerals and protein (amino acids). Toxicological data of E. granulata showed that it may be poisonous and toxic at higher doses.

Conclusion
Research studies suggest that E. granulata has sufficient pharmacological potential against several diseases including infections, gastric ulcers, anuria, oliguria and spasmodic disorders; however, more research is required to confirm its pharmacological potential. Moreover, dose fixation studies should be carried out to avoid its toxicity.
Morning vs. bedtime levothyroxine administration: what is the ideal choice for children?
Authors: Akın Onur 
Published: October 2018

AbstractBackgroundThe present study compared the administration of levothyroxine (LT4) before breakfast and bedtime in school children diagnosed with hypothyroidism and analyzed the effects of timing on thyroid functioning and patient satisfaction.MethodsA total of 163 children with acquired hypothyroidism (125 females and 38 males) between 8 and 18 years of age and taking LT4 for at least 3 months were enrolled in the study. The timing of administration of the drug of all subjects was shifted to bedtime. The levels of thyroid hormone and blood lipid, anthropometric measurements, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and hypothyroidism symptoms scores were analyzed and compared at the beginning of the study and 3 months later after the shift in the timing of drug administration.ResultsThere was no difference between the bedtime and morning regimens of LT4 with respect to thyroid hormone levels, quality of life, drug adherence and symptoms of hypothyroidism. At the end of the study, 45 of 70 new-onset treated subjects preferred the bedtime regimen. Also, drug adherence was found to be better in these patients.ConclusionsWe found no difference between the bedtime and morning regimens in both new-onset and long-standing treated patients. In naive patients, consideration of patient’s preference for timing of drug administration may increase their adherence to medication. Therefore, we suggest that choice of drug administration timing should be based on the preference of patients.
German‑Arab encounters: A cross‑cultural Training approach
Authors: Bouchara Abdelaziz , Benyoussef Mounir 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThe paper addresses intercultural differences which should contribute to raising awareness of sociolinguists in particular with respect to the role religion plays in shaping talk in Arabic and to serious confusion and misunderstandings that may occur when communicators from different cultural backgrounds meet. Successful intercultural interactions are at the heart of what intercultural communication is all about. So what does it mean that Arabs interact successfully with Germans (Westerners) and vice versa? This is the focus of this paper which led to the development of an intercultural communicative competence framework (Byram 1997) based on critical incidents (Schumann 2012a/b). In utilizing such a framework, our efforts toward developing intercultural competence in our students can be included in a more comprehensive, integrated approach instead of having too much trust in the mass-market course book not necessarily always tailored to the teaching context.
“The Unhappy Mistake”: An Analysis of the Spanish Translation
Authors: Torralbo-Caballero Juan de Dios 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
“The Unhappy Mistake” is a short story published in the late seventeenth century that has received little attention from critics. It has historically been attributed to Aphra Behn (1640–1689), but her authorship has been questioned by renowned critics like Janet Todd, Germaine Greer and Leah Orr. This article studies the translation produced by Jesus Serrano-Reyes (published in 2008 by Siruela) in order to draw attention to some of the translation strategies applied, showing (according to the principles of the Manipulation School and Polysystem Theory) the initial norm and type of equivalence. To this end textual binomials are analysed from the source and target texts, which consist of both key sentences, phrases, expressions, and even certain words. It also takes into account the style of some characters in Behn’s work, contrasting them with their depiction in the target text, specifically the style of the gentleman from Somertshire. Attention is also paid to the content of a political nature found in the story of Miles Hardman (whose flight from his country and domestic, and his return, constitute a metaphor for the exile of King Charles II and his Restoration), both in the original text and in the translation by Serrano-Reyes.
Fachsprache in literarischen Texten: Analyse der Rechtssprache in Bernhard SchlinksDer Vorleser
Authors: Castillo Bernal María Pilar 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThis work focuses on the German novelDer Vorleserby Bernhard Schlink, a former Professor of Law and Judge of the Constitutional Court at North Rhine-Westphalia. After its publication in 1995, the novel quickly became part of the literary canon in Germany with high sales numbers and it was included in the syllabus for secondary schools at severalLänder. This success is due to the interest of the topics it deals with regarding the National Socialism regime: the struggle of the German society with its past and the trials around the extermination camp of Auschwitz celebrated in Frankfurt in the 60 s. This study aims at analysing the account of the trials presented in the novel. More specifically, the legal language shall be examined in the context of a literary text and the characteristics of the special language found in the novel shall be checked against relevant studies on legal texts. The main purpose is to establish to what extent special language used in a literary text presents the same features that can be detected in a specialised text.
Veterans, the hidden wounds of war, and soul repair
Authors: Grimell Jan 
Published: October 2018

AbstractTo better understand how deployment in war zones and/or combat may inflict emotional wounds upon veterans, researchers, clinicians, and caregivers it was recently started to focus on the concepts of moral and spiritual injuries. Such injuries may remain undiscovered during psychiatric screening for posttraumatic stress disorder. What is often missing, however, is a conceptualization of the part of the self which is implicitly related to emotional wounds caused by moral and spiritual injuries. This article utilizes a number of historical and contemporary conceptualizations of what is called the soul, and their implications for pastoral and spiritual care of emotionally wounded veterans. Moreover, it explores the use of biblical stories in pastoral and spiritual care among veterans suffering from moral and spiritual injuries.
