Introduction Cardiac rehabilitation improves physical capacity, health-related quality of life, and reduces morbidity and mortality among cardiac patients. Telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation may innovate existing programmes and increase participation rates. Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate if telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improves physical capacity, muscle endurance, muscle power, muscle strength and health-related quality of life in cardiac patients. Methods A follow-up study on moderate risk patients with ischaemic heart and heart valve disease referred to a 12-week telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation intervention at Aarhus University Hospital (Denmark). Participants were encouraged to exercise 60 min three times weekly with moderate/high intensity for 20 min per session. Intensity and duration of training sessions were visualised on a smartphone and uploaded to a website. Participants received individual feedback from physiotherapists on their training efforts by telephone/email. Outcome measures were changes in physical capacity (peak oxygen uptake), muscle endurance, power, and strength, and health-related quality of life between baseline end of telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation intervention, and at six and 12 months after end of telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation. Results Thirty-four participants completed telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation. We identified a significant increase in peak oxygen uptake of 10%, in muscle endurance of 17%, in muscle power of 7%, and in muscle strength of 10% after the telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programme. Health-related quality of life was significantly improved by 19% in the physical and 17% in the mental component scores. We found no significant improvement in peak oxygen uptake between baseline and 12 months follow-up, but a significant improvement in muscle endurance (0.3 watts/kg, 95% confidence interval; 0.2–0.4), muscle power (0.4 watts/kg; 0.2–0.5), muscle strength (0.5 N/m/kg; 0.1–0.9), physical health-related quality of life (five points; 2–8) and mental health-related quality of life (six points; 3–9). Discussion This study demonstrated that the self-elected type of physical exercise in cardiac rehabilitation with telemonitoring improved all outcome measures both on the short and long-term, except for peak oxygen uptake at 12 months follow-up.

Purpose Early intensification with methotrexate (MTX) is a key component of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. Two different approaches to MTX intensification exist but had not been compared in T-cell ALL (T-ALL): the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) escalating dose intravenous MTX without leucovorin rescue plus pegaspargase escalating dose, Capizzi-style, intravenous MTX (C-MTX) regimen and the Berlin-Frankfurt-Muenster (BFM) high-dose intravenous MTX (HDMTX) plus leucovorin rescue regimen. Patients and Methods COG AALL0434 included a 2 × 2 randomization that compared the COG-augmented BFM (ABFM) regimen with either C-MTX or HDMTX during the 8-week interim maintenance phase. All patients with T-ALL, except for those with low-risk features, received prophylactic (12 Gy) or therapeutic (18 Gy for CNS3) cranial irradiation during either the consolidation (C-MTX; second month of therapy) or delayed intensification (HDMTX; seventh month of therapy) phase. Results AALL0434 accrued 1,895 patients from 2007 to 2014. The 5-year event-free survival and overall survival rates for all eligible, evaluable patients with T-ALL were 83.8% (95% CI, 81.2% to 86.4%) and 89.5% (95% CI, 87.4% to 91.7%), respectively. The 1,031 patients with T-ALL but without CNS3 disease or testicular leukemia were randomly assigned to receive ABFM with C-MTX (n = 519) or HDMTX (n = 512). The estimated 5-year disease-free survival ( P = .005) and overall survival ( P = .04) rates were 91.5% (95% CI, 88.1% to 94.8%) and 93.7% (95% CI, 90.8% to 96.6%) for C-MTX and 85.3% (95% CI, 81.0%–89.5%) and 89.4% (95% CI, 85.7%–93.2%) for HDMTX. Patients assigned to C-MTX had 32 relapses, six with CNS involvement, whereas those assigned to HDMTX had 59 relapses, 23 with CNS involvement. Conclusion AALL0434 established that ABFM with C-MTX was superior to ABFM plus HDMTX for T-ALL in approximately 90% of patients who received CRT, with later timing for those receiving HDMTX.

Published: August 2018

BACKGROUND:
Pulse oximetry–derived oxygen saturation is typically >97% in normoxia and hyperoxia, limiting its clinical use. The new Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi), a relative indicator of the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in arterial blood (Pao
2) in the range of 100–200 mm Hg, may allow additional monitoring of oxygen status.

METHODS:
In this prospective validation intervention study, 20 healthy volunteers were breathing standardized oxygen concentrations ranging from mild hypoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen = 0.14) to hyperoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen = 1.0) via a tight-fitting face mask. ORi was measured noninvasively by multiwavelength pulse co-oximetry using 2 finger sensors. These ORi values (unitless scale, 0.00–1.00) were compared with measured Pao
2 values. Repeated-measurements correlation analysis was performed to assess the ORi/Pao
2 relationship. ORi trending ability was assessed using a 4-quadrant plot. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve was calculated to assess the prediction of hypoxia (low-ranged Pao
2, <100 mm Hg).

RESULTS:
Within the ORi-sensitive range, a strong positive correlation was found between ORi and Pao
2 for both sensors (R = 0.78 and 0.83; P < .0001). ORi trending of Pao
2 was good within this range (concordance rate = 94%). The prediction of Pao
2 <100 mm Hg was also good, with an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.91 and 99% sensitivity and 82% specificity.

CONCLUSIONS:
In this prospective volunteer validation study, a strong and positive correlation between Pao
2 and ORi was found, together with a good trending ability. Based on these data, the future use of ORi as a continuous noninvasive monitoring tool for assessing oxygenation status in patients receiving supplemental oxygen might be supported.

Abstract
Styrene was grafted onto the surface of polypropylene (PP)/polyethylene (PE) films through direct radical polymerization using diethyl(1,10-phenanthroline-N1, N10)zinc (Phen-DEZ) and oxygen molecules as the radical initiators. The grafting of styrene on the PP/PE surface was confirmed by FT-IR, Raman, UV-Vis, atomic force microscope (AFM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
A hand-crafted slow revolution: Co-designing a new genre in the luxury world
Authors: Frater Judy , Hawley Jana M. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
There exists an emerging genre of luxury that speaks to consumers’ desire for products that put a holistic view of sustainability at the forefront. Today, there are consumers who seek products that are not only unique and of high quality but also come with a story of the artisan and the community from which it originates. We argue that a new genre of luxury is formed as traditional craftsmen are exposed to the global marketplace and have the opportunity to interact with consumers who seek high-end or bespoke products. For this to be truly sustainable, artisans must develop commensurate capabilities. Thus, the new genre requires ‘co-design’. We use the case of the International Folk Art Market (IFAM) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, as an example of creating a new luxury craft market, and the example of an innovative education programme for traditional artisans in India to show how artisans from remote parts of the world can increase their capacity to avail such new markets in a way that sustains them economically and culturally.
The role of the creative director in sustaining the luxury brand
Authors: VanderPloeg Alyson Janyne , Lee Seung-Eun 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
With the influence of mass distribution, short-term product life cycles and online retailing and marketing communications, the nature of luxury fashion is becoming more commercialized. This presents a challenge to luxury brands, whose intrinsic value has been based on brand heritage, product craftsmanship and exceptional quality. In the modern luxury fashion industry, the persona of the brand’s creative director plays an important role in upholding the brand’s value and image. With their artistic talents, vision and ability to personify the brand, creative directors have the power to reinterpret the brand’s iconic symbols and products into new versions appropriate for the current marketplace. In the increasingly fast-paced industry, creative directors are facing new roles and responsibilities. Therefore, this article attempts to address the changing nature of these roles and responsibilities of creative directors in sustaining the success of their luxury brand. Based on a model by Kapferer and Bastien, four aspects of luxury brands that creative directors need to incorporate into their brand and product strategies were addressed.
From Waverley to Outlander: How Scottish dress became everyone’s dress
Authors: Barks Brenna A. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Ethnic dress is usually stringently defined as a particular set of clothes produced and worn by a specific set of people and their descendants. It is an instantly recognizable visual representation of their culture and their heritage. This is no less true of Scottish tartan and kilts, but Scottish dress today is worn by groups as diverse as the Scottish people and their descendants and cosplayers who are fans of the television show, Outlander. Yet wearing of Scottish dress is no less an expression of these cosplayers’ identity. The world-wide appeal of a Romantic Scotland can be traced to Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley. Through a brief history of the invention of traditional Scottish dress by Scott and others and through interviews with a diverse range of people who wear Scottish dress this article will show that Scottish or Scottish-inspired dress is unique in that it not only represents a culture and history, but that it is malleable enough to enable a vast array of people to use it to communicate or even subsume their identities in the broader world.

AmeriKKKa’s most wanted: Hip Hop culture and Hip Hop theology as challenges to oppression
Authors: Hodge Daniel White 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This article deals with Hip Hop and its cultural intricacies. Hip Hop transcends the mediated tropes of sexualized PoC bodies only yammering for money, fame, fortune and to ‘be the best’. Hip Hop is much more than tattoos, arpeggiated high hats and snares, gold chains, fancy grills and baggy pants. No, Hip Hop is a culture; a lifestyle; something that we in the academic community must take into strong consideration and begin to not just analyse it for tenure processes, but begin to ask, what does and can Hip Hop offer pedagogically and how might it inform our own scholarly work? Hip Hop is larger than the radio, commercialized artists and record industry branding. It is a culture, a people, a movement, a growing community of people that live, breathe, eat, love, hate and work just as anyone else does. Hip Hop cannot be easily understood or defined. This article gives an overview of both the academic pursuit of Hip Hop Studies and the subfield of Hip Hop and Religion.
Keepin’ it on da streets? UK rap and music education
Authors: Rambarran Shara 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This is a perspective on UK’s take on hip hop. Better known as UK rap due to its current expansion of musical styles within the genre, including its exposure by social media and the association with another genre, grime, this perspective illustrates why UK rap is not sufficiently explored in English school education. This concept also links with Black British music, which has existed over 100 years, and yet, it still has not been cemented in school education. With the specific focus on UK rap, this perspective discusses its absence in the national curriculum in England by reflecting on the following: (1) the lack of understanding of the genre and its origins, (2) how rap can be included in music education and (3) why learning rap independently is perhaps more favourable in non-educational environments such as creative and public/social spaces.

ISON, being an open international project that collects and interprets data about space objects for scientific analysis and spacecraft operators, includes about 40 observational sites. An involvement of two Mexican sites participating in optical observations of geostationary and highly elliptical objects as a part of the ISON project is considered. A brief description of the facilities and their observation statistics are given. Prospects for the further development of sites for monitoring near-Earth objects in Mexico are presented, including data of astronomical observing conditions from field stations.
L’Iliadeet l’Odyssée, un matériau fertile pour la pensée philosophique : le bon usage d’Homère dans l’Hippias Mineur
Authors: Jouët-Pastré Emmanuelle 
Published: August 2018

AbstractInHippias Minor, Plato does not merely condemn Homer as a reference in ethical matters. He opposes two uses of poetry when it comes to referring to and giving meaning to it: poetry as a source of knowledge admitted and frozen by tradition, ethically normative, and poetry as a source of philosophical questions, conducive to ethical reflection. The debate shows that Socrates’ view of Homer, as well as his Homeric point of view, allow us to ask good and often paradoxical questions about the link between truth, falsity, knowledge and calculation, which are essential for those who want to build solid ethics. The dialogue then shows how the philosopher enriches the meaning of the Homeric text.
La version α du livre VII de laPhysiqued’Aristote et son rapport aux familles byzantines a et b
Authors: Boureau Mai-Lan 
Published: August 2018

AbstractThis paper focuses on the relation between version α of the seventh book of Aristotle’sPhysicsand the two byzantine families which shape the transmission lineage of most Aristotelian texts. To this end, it establishes astemma codicumof all known manuscripts of version α. The first step reexamines Simplicius’ testimony in order to overcome the stemmatic problem arising from it: Simplicius’ statement that there was a version β for chapters 4 and 5 seems to be mere speculation on his part. This allows for the more plausible assumption that only the first three chapters of book VII were transmitted in two versions. The paper then deals with the witnesses of version α, which either transmit version α as a whole (e.g.Paris. 1859 – b, andVind. 64 – Ja) or a mixture of the two versions (e.g.Vat. 1027 – H, andVat. 241 – I, among Ross’s manuscripts). H and I are shown to stem from the same manuscript ι. ι was used by E2, who famously annotatedParis. 1853 and copied in its margins scholia derived from Philoponus’ commentary as well as κεφάλαια of book VII, both of which also feature in manuscripts close to H and I. Though ι is the source of both a version α (αι) and a version β (βι), the original version of manuscript ι was βι. Therefore, version α cannot be associated with certainty to either of the two byzantine families of Aristotle’s natural works. Although version α may come from a now extinct third family, there is no trace of such a family in eitherParis. 1859 (b) orVind. 64 (Ja), which both got the text of book VII from the same manuscript φ. In any case, the evidence points to all direct witnesses of version α coming from only two sources: ι and φ.
Polyaniline-based cadaverine sensor through digital image colorimetry
Authors: Ocampo Alessandria Maeve , Santos Lee Romney , Julian Sam , Bailon Mark Xavier , Bautista Joel 
Published: August 2018

AbstractThe detection of biogenic amines is important due to the their correlation with spoilage and toxicity. Polyaniline (PANI) is a polymer capable of changing color from blue to green andvice versathrough acid-base reactions. This study tested the potential of PANI as a sensing material for the presence of cadaverine. PANI was fabricated on nylon cloths through the redox reaction of aniline and ammonium persulfate. The PANI-coated nylon cloths were exposed to different amounts of cadaverine in a fixed reaction time of 5 min. Through digital image colorimetry, plots of the different color values vs. concentration were prepared and the curve with the highest linearity was obtained using the yellow value. Values for limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were calculated to be 0.8816 mmand 2.9386 mm,respectively. An Android application which analyzes the color values of the PANI image in relation to the amount of cadaverine was also developed.
Rodlets from Compressed Medullosalean Plant Fossils: Chemical and Morphological Studies (Late Pennsylvanian Sydney Coalfield, Canada)
Authors: Zodrow Erwin L. , Mastalerz Maria 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Fragmented compression specimens of medullosalean fronds have been voluminously described over the past 200 years. However, the literature on rodlets is scarce. We addressed the questions (i) of common occurrence in these fronds, (ii) what made the fronds so strong to bear such a biomassive load, and (iii) what is the chemical make up of rodlets that expressed as striae and ridges (medullosalean hallmark) occur on these fronds? Recovered were soluble and insoluble, black, round and flat, opaque or translucent rodlets that are up to 5 mm long and ca. 10-111 μm wide, and are typed as (i) transparent, (ii) insoluble, or (iii) soluble in Schulze’s solution. In situ insoluble rodlets can be distinguished from associate coal and cuticle-free compression foliage and rachides by relatively high aromaticity and low aliphatics, although their chemical composition is unknown. Rodlets are presumably related to sclerenchymatous tissue in support of strength/stability of these sizeable medullosalean fronds.
Advanced glycation endproducts and polysialylation affect the turnover of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE)

Abstract
The balance between protein synthesis and degradation regulates the amount of expressed proteins. This protein turnover is usually quantified as the protein half-life time. Several studies suggest that protein degradation decreases with age and leads to increased deposits of damaged and non-functional proteins. Glycation is an age-dependent, non-enzymatic process leading to posttranslational modifications, so-called advanced glycation endproducts (AGE), which usually damage proteins and lead to protein aggregation. AGE are formed by the Maillard reaction, where carbonyls of carbohydrates or metabolites react with amino groups of proteins. In this study, we quantified the half-life time of two important receptors of the immunoglobulin superfamily, the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) before and after glycation. We found, that in two rat PC12 cell lines glycation leads to increased turnover, meaning that glycated, AGE-modified proteins are degraded faster than non-glycated proteins. NCAM is the most prominent carrier of a unique enzymatic posttranslational modification, the polysialylation. Using two PC12 cell lines (a non-polysialylated and a polysialylated one), we could additionally demonstrate, that polysialylation of NCAM has an impact on its turnover and that it significantly increases its half-life time.
