Abstract
Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of three-dimensional sampling perfection with application optimized contrast using different flip angle evolution (3D SPACE) sequence and Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) in hydrocephalus and to propose a refined definition and classification of hydrocephalus with relevance to the selection of treatment option. Materials and Methods: A prospective study of 109 patients with hydrocephalus was performed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain using standardized institutional sequences along with additional sequences 3D SPACE and SWI. The images were independently read by two senior neuroradiologists and the etiopathogenesis of hydrocephalus was arrived by consensus. Results: With conventional sequences, 46 out of 109 patients of hydrocephalus were diagnosed as obstructive of which 21 patients showed direct signs of obstruction and 25 showed indirect signs. In the remaining 63 patients of communicating hydrocephalus, cause could not be found out in 41 patients. Whereas with 3D SPACE sequence, 88 patients were diagnosed as obstructive hydrocephalus in which all of them showed direct signs of obstruction and 21 patients were diagnosed as communicating hydrocephalus. By including SWI, we found out hemorrhage causing intraventricular obstruction in three patients and hemorrhage at various sites in 24 other patients. With these findings, we have classified the hydrocephalus into communicating and noncommunicating, with latter divided into intraventricular and extraventricular obstruction, which is very well pertaining to the selection of surgical option. Conclusion: We strongly suggest to include 3D SPACE and SWI sequences in the set of routine MRI sequences, as they are powerful diagnostic tools and offer complementary information regarding the precise evaluation of the etiopathogenesis of hydrocephalus and have an effective impact in selecting the mode of management.

Published: December 2018

AbstractMetastases to the breast from extra-mammary malignancies are extremely uncommon. The discovery of a breast mass in a patient with a known primary tumor elsewhere poses a diagnostic challenge to the clinician. An awareness of the various malignancies that can metastasize to the breast and accurate diagnosis of the same is essential to avoid an unnecessary mastectomy and to guide further therapy. In this case series, we describe such clinical scenarios with an emphasis on the imaging features of metastases to the breast, which will enable radiologists to recognize this entity with greater ease.
(Co)variance components and genetics parameter estimation for linear traits in Holstein cattle in Indonesia: traits related to foot/leg and udder

Published: December 2018

Abstract. The availability of (co)variance components and genetics parameter estimates for traits included in a selection program is crucial since the estimated breeding values of the selected traits are computed based on the available (co)variance components and genetics parameters. The present study aimed to estimate (co)variance components and genetics parameters for linear traits related to foot/leg and udder (i.e. rear legs set, foot angle, udder depth, and teat length) in Holstein cattle in Indonesia. Linear traits were measured (instead of scored) on 310 lactating Holstein cows raised in the National Breeding Centre for Dairy Cattle and Forage of Indonesia (BBPTUHPT Baturraden). These were nearly all cows in lactation owned by the centre at the time of study. Lactating cows which were not measured during study were those which are technically difficult to handle. The Average Information Restricted Maximum Likelihood (AI-REML) method of the DMU program was used to estimate the (co)variances and genetics parameters of the considered linear traits. A four-multivariate animal model was employed by including farm (fixed), animal (random), and age (covariate) effects in the model of analysis. The phenotypic means (standard deviation) for rear legs set, foot angle, udder depth, and teat length were 139.70 (6.03), 50.65 (5.04), 10.67 (6.19), and 5.27 (0.96), respectively. The results showed that the estimated heritability (h2) was 0.334, 0.236, 0.147, and 0.213 for rear legs set, foot angle, udder depth, and teat length, respectively. The genetic (phenotypic) correlations between linear traits rear legs set–foot angle, rear legs set–udder depth, rear legs set–teat length, foot angle–udder depth, foot angle–teat length, and udder depth–teat length were −0.08 (−0.043), −0.6 (0.002), 0.101 (0.036), 0.002 (−0.017), −0.186 (−0.146), and −0.834 (0.019), respectively. The present study concluded that the linear traits could be used in the selection program, though the traits should be properly weighted to avoid deteriorating selection response.

Abstract. This study was carried out to detect polymorphisms in the melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) and arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AA-NAT) genes and their association with reproductive traits. Blood samples of 126 animals from three Egyptian sheep breeds were collected. DNA was extracted and subjected to PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis using the RsaI and SmaI enzymes. Two alleles (C and T) and three genotypes (CC, CT and TT) for MTNR1A and for AA-NAT (A and G; GG, GA and AA) were detected. The alleles C and A and the genotypes CT and GA showed the highest frequencies for the MTNR1A and AA-NAT genes, respectively. Association analysis of the MTNR1A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with ewe reproductive traits revealed significant associations in the Ossimi and Rahmani breeds with age at first lambing, and the C allele seemed to be the favorable allele. The results for the AA-NAT SNP demonstrated significant correlations in Ossimi with age at first lambing and litter size and in Rahmani with lambing interval; the G allele seemed to be the desirable allele. In the first conception season, ewes carrying CT exhibited a significantly lower age of first lambing in the unfavorable season. Additionally, GG ewes exhibited a significantly lower age of first lambing in the early favorable season, followed by the unfavorable season. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of these associations in Egyptian sheep breeds. In conclusion, the polymorphisms revealed in this study could be used as genetic markers to improve reproductive efficiency during the unfavorable season, and the obtained desirable genotypes could be considered in new genetic selection schemes.
The Boundaries of Gestalt Therapy and the Limits of Our Imagination: Hermann Schmitz's Adolf Hitler in History and “New Phenomenology”
Authors: Amendt-Lyon Nancy 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The author looks into the attempts to treat the theory of “New Phenomenology” as an essential part of, or as at least an improvement to, Gestalt therapy theory. Herman Schmitz's concepts are compared with core concepts of Gestalt therapy theory and found to be incompatible with them. The author advocates the further development of Gestalt therapy theory by employing the concepts inherent to the method. “New Phenomenology” and Schmitz's (1999) book, Adolf Hitler in History, are interchangeably figure and background for each other. Schmitz's philosophical opus must be read together with his alarming views on Hitler, since they are inextricably intertwined.
Beyoncé and the Frump: Cover-Versioning in Dance
Authors: Manley Pauline 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Is copying unavoidable? Is it an inherent element of creativity? When is imitation appropriate? Justifiable? Beneficial? Welcomed? What actually gets copied? Form? Intention? Aesthetics? Concepts? What about energy? Can you copy that? What about cultural appropriation or the powerful plundering the disenfranchised? These questions all bubbled up during a creative process inspired by Krumping. To discuss these questions further, the author revisits an incident that caused a mini-furor. Beyoncé Knowles was accused of plagiarizing sections of Rosas danst Rosas, an avant-garde contemporary dance by Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker. Subsequent media discussions were filled with side-taking, indignance, and justification. But what did these two women do? What did their narrative reveal about dance, about fields of practice, about intentions, protocols, permissions, silences, acknowledgements, ethics, race relations, and feminism? The complexity of these questions creates a spinning disco ball of perspectives.
Selective Historical Precedents in Appropriation as Cover Version
Authors: Takasaka Masato 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This article focuses on selective historical precedents in appropriation as cover version that highlight how difference is produced through repetition in the visual arts. The article focuses on three historical periods. The first examples emanate from the 1930s: Marcel Duchamp’s Boîte-en-valise and Kurt Schwitters’s Merzbau. The second period is the 1980s and looks at appropriation in North American art. I draw on the writings of Douglas Crimp, who contrasts the appropriation of style to the appropriation of material, and the writings of John C. Welchman, who contrasts the work of Sherrie Levine and Richard Prince from the 1980s to that of Mike Kelley from the 1990s. Third, I consider the interpretation of appropriation in Australian art in the 1980s and 1990s, drawing on the writings of Rex Butler. This article provides a context for considering appropriation as cover version, in general and specifically in relation to visual arts practice.
Next Door to Nirvana: Neighboring States and the Utopian Border Paradox
Authors: Santesso Aaron 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
The presence of neighboring nations has always posed a problem for utopian states. Wouldn't those nations naturally fear or envy their utopian neighbors? If they do not, why not? Should non-utopian neighbors be ignored, tolerated, or assimilated? This article looks at the various paradoxes associated with utopian borders and neighbors and compares the solutions proposed by utopian theorists and authors of utopian fiction with the work being done in the field of “border theory,” which seeks to redefine the relationship between states with asymmetrical power relationships.
Conceito de bibliografia, ou conceitos de bibliografia?
Authors: Lara Marilda Lopes Ginez de 
Published: December 2018

Introdução: Bibliografia é um termo polissêmico que nomeia produtos, atividades e campo disciplinar. Suas inúmeras facetas não conduzem necessariamente a um conceito único e consensual. Objetivos: Procuramos discutir o conceito de bibliografia examinando as origens do trabalho bibliográfico, as relações entre o termo, o conceito e suas definições ao longo do tempo, sua tipologia e função de mediação, e as reflexões sobre a constituição de um campo disciplinar autônomo. Metodologia: Tem como base o levantamento bibliográfico, a comparação das reflexões e a tentativa de construir uma breve sistematização. Resultados: Embora exista variação denominativa e conceitual, há relativo consenso sobre o conceito de bibliografia cujo significado nuclear gira em torno dos repertórios de livros e, mais recentemente, de documentos em geral. São enfatizados aspectos técnicos das práticas bibliotecárias, como também livreiras, aspectos comunicacionais, socioculturais e historiográficos. Algumas propostas de reivindicação da autonomia do campo argumentam a favor bibliografia como disciplina matriz a partir da qual se organizam outras disciplinas correlatas. Conclusões: A bibliografia é um mecanismo especial de memória secundária cujo princípio básico se mantém apesar das tecnologias. Caracteriza-se pela produção de listas organizadas sob diferentes arranjos e pela proposta de metodologias de descrição. A emergência de um modelo pós-moderno de ciência coloca em questão a propriedade da demanda de um campo autônomo quando se prioriza o enfoque de universos temáticos à luz de óticas inter e transdisciplinares.
Lige for lige? Kønssegregering i Folketingudvalg og i ledelsen af det private erhvervsliv
Authors: Fiig Christina , Verner Mette 
Published: December 2018

In this article, we describe and discuss the vertical and horizontal gender segregation in the elites of Danish Parliamentary politics and private business. Our new data on the gender distribution on corporate boards of publicly traded firms show how women are absent among board chairs and CEOs and illustrates the low representation of women among board members. Among members of Parliamentary committees a more equal gender representation is found, however, there is a clear tendency toward a vertical and a horizontal segregation. Our findings show that women MPs are less represented in certain Parliamentary committees on foreign affairs, economy, finance, tax and transportation. This distribution mirrors other country studies on Parliamentary committees. We propose two hypotheses in order to explain our explorative study: a thesis on a gender bias of certain policy areas and a hypothesis on the significance of the ‘public eye’. Concerning the latter, our results illustrate how institutions subject to ‘the public eye’ have more balanced gender compositions than institutions with less public attention, like corporate boards.
Er islamismen populistisk, eller er populismen i Mellemøsten blevet islamistisk?
Authors: Simonson Jørgen Bæk 
Published: December 2018

The article discusses and compares different types of populism that have characterized certain political developments in the Middle East since the beginning of the 20th Century. It is concluded that non-militant Islamism has played a crucial part in this development and secured widespread public support. This has been the case in Iran where the circle around Khomeini specifically articulated the struggle against the Shah in relation to Shiitic Islamism.
Renforcement de la qualité d’information de l’occupation du sol par l’intégration de données satellitaires optiques et radar en support à la modélisation hydrologique

Published: December 2018

Afin de suivre l’évolution de l’occupation du sol du bassin versant de la rivière Cau (nord du Vietnam), des images HRVIR 2 du satellite SPOT-4 ont été acquises fin novembre 2007 et début janvier 2008. Dans un premier temps, l’approche de classification hiérarchique avec le mode de classification « avec caractéristiques liées aux classes (class-related features) » a été développée et appliquée afin d’extraire sept classes d’occupation du sol pertinentes à la modélisation hydrologique, sans distinguer les rizières des autres types de culture. Cette approche a montré son efficacité, la précision globale de la classification étant de 91 %. Une diminution significative de la confusion entre les milieux urbains, les terres agricoles et les plantations a été remarquée par rapport à une classification antérieure d’une image LANDSAT-7 de 2003, dont la précision globale était de 78 %. Par la suite, afin de distinguer les rizières des autres types de culture, deux séries d’images du satellite RADARSAT-2 en bande-C (double polarisation et polarimétriques) ont été utilisées. Ces images ont été acquises de mai 2009 à mai 2010 et couvrent deux périodes de croissance du riz, soit la période de la principale récolte (saison traditionnelle du riz) et celle du printemps. Pour les images double polarisation, en mode standard (S5), une méthode de seuillage a été appliquée sur la variation temporelle du signal entre les images acquises en début de saison et celles à la mi-saison. Cette méthode a permis de détecter 74 % des rizières de la saison traditionnelle du riz et 63 % des rizières de la saison de riz du printemps, selon une comparaison avec des données statistiques de la province de Thai Nguyen. La précision globale de la classification obtenue, pour toutes les classes d’occupation du sol, est de 71 % pour la saison traditionnelle de riz et de 67 % pour la saison de riz du printemps. Pour les images polarimétriques, en mode fin (FQ21), la matrice de cohérence a été choisie pour identifier les rizières d’une zone hétérogène. La classification a été réalisée à l’aide de l’algorithme SVM (Support Vector Machine). Ces dernières informations ont ensuite été intégrées à la carte thématique dérivée d’images SPOT-4 pour obtenir la carte finale. Cette carte sert directement à la modélisation hydrologique. Les calculs des besoins en eau pour la culture du riz ont montré que les rizières prennent une grande proportion du débit total dans les deux sous-bassins versants utilisés en exemple. Ces calculs montrent l’importance de détecter les rizières si l’on souhaite réaliser des simulations hydrologiques réalistes sur le bassin versant de la rivière Cau et confirment une des hypothèses de nos travaux, qui est que l’identification des rizières sur la carte d’occupation du sol améliore les évaluations et prédictions liées au cycle hydrologique.

Published: December 2018

Diante da importância do trabalho na vida dos indivíduos, a relação que se estabelece entre o profissional e o ambiente laboral podem implicar repercussões em sua maneira de viver e ser saudável. Não obstante, a qualidade de vida do trabalhador pode estar associada à satisfação profissional, e dentro do contexto da enfermagem, favorecer a uma assistência de qualidade. Portanto, o presente ensaio teve por objetivo identificar publicações sobre satisfação no trabalho e qualidade de vida do profissional de enfermagem; verificar evidências de relação direta entre a satisfação profissional e a qualidade de vida. Esta revisão integrativa compilou artigos através da Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF), Public Medline (PubMed) e o Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). A partir do material analisado, emergiram três categorias temáticas: 1) Fatores que influenciam a satisfação profissional; 2) Importância da satisfação no trabalho e qualidade de vida do profissional para a assistência de enfermagem; 3) Relação do trabalho com a qualidade de vida do trabalhador de enfermagem. Após a análise, não se verificou relação direta entre satisfação no trabalho e qualidade de vida, entretanto, evidenciou-se que insatisfações laborais desencadeiam, potencialmente, problemas físicos e psíquicos, com impacto à qualidade de vida e do serviço prestado.
Work stress and health problems of professional drivers: a hazardous formula for their safety outcomes
Authors: Useche Sergio A. , Cendales Boris , Montoro Luis , Esteban Cristina 
Published: December 2018

BackgroundSeveral empirical studies have shown that professional drivers are a vulnerable occupational group, usually exposed to environmental stressors and adverse work conditions. Furthermore, recent studies have associated work-related stress with negative job performances and adverse health outcomes within this occupational group, including cardiovascular diseases and unsafe vehicle operation.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to describe the working conditions and the health status of this occupational group, and to evaluate the association between the Demand–Control model of job stress and their self-reported health and safety outcomes.MethodsA pooled sample of 3,665 Colombian professional drivers was drawn from five different studies. The Job Content Questionnaire and the General Health Questionnaire were used to measure work stress and self-reported mental health, respectively. Additionally, professional drivers self-reported health problems (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes and overweight) and health-related risky behaviors (smoking and sedentary behavior).ResultsRegarding the Job Demands–Control (JDC) model, it was found that approximately a third part of Colombian professional drivers suffer from high job strain (29.1%). Correlational and multivariate analyses suggest that de JDC model of stress is associated with the professional drivers’ mental health, traffic accidents and fines, but not with other physical and behavioral health-related outcomes, which are highly prevalent among this occupational group, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, overweight, smoking and sedentary behavior.ConclusionThe results of this study suggest that (a) stressful working conditions are associated with health and lifestyle-related outcomes among professional drivers, and (b) that evidence-based interventions are needed in order to reduce hazardous working conditions, job stress rates and their negative impact on the health of this occupational group.
