TRANSLATING FORENSIC SCIENCE IN NORTHERN UGANDA1
Authors: Tuller Hugh 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Warfare in northern Uganda has killed tens of thousands of Acholi people. Survivors perceive the dead as having agency to negatively affect the living when improperly buried according to Acholi tradition. This ongoing ethnographic research examines if and how improper burials and associated spiritual disturbances are linked to different avenues for reconciliation, memorialization, or reparations and if forensic science could play a role in mitigating the perceptions of spiritual disturbances.

CAUSAL FACTORS OF DISHARMONY ISSUES ON LICENSING COASTAL RECLAMATION IN SAMPANG AND BANGKALAN REGENCIES
Authors: Yulianti Rina , Ikhwan Mufarrijul 
Published: March 2018

This research is to investigate the contributing factors on the disharmony of licensing coastal reclamation in Sampang and Bangkalan Regencies. Socio legal research approach was used through indepth interviews and observations. The study was conducted in areas with reclamation activities and subsequently considering the relevant documents to analyze as the secondary data. The findings of this research demonstrate factors leading to disharmony of licensing coastal reclamation: the regional government of Sampang and Bangkalan regencies has not synchronized the reclamation policies with the presidential regulation. Reclamation in Sampang and Bangkalan are not based on the Presidential Regulations Number 122 Year 2012 on the Licensing Coastal Reclamation. The license of reclamation in Sampang should have been issued by district or provincial government instead of by the head of village. Reclamation license in Bangkalan should have been issued by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries because it is located in the National Strategic Areas. The fact, it was granted by the local government. Harmonization consequently becomes an important part to construct an integrative law for realizing central and local authority’s conformity in introducing the policy to control of coastal spatial utilization. Keywords: coastal, disharmony, licensing, reclamation.
SUSTAINED CHARACTER BUILDING THROUGH LITERATURE FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Hariyanti Tatit , Sudjito Sudjito 
Published: March 2018

This article aims at promoting sustained character building through literature especially for college students in Indonesia. Till present, the character building has been restricted to the embedment of good virtues to children and adolescents. The majority of existing studies and researches, therefore, tend to focus their attention on such limited area. Character building ought to be a sustainable effort halted not when one finishes his/her study at elementary or intermediate grades. It should be maintained all life long. There are two highlighted problems which are going to explore in this paper: first, why literature is still considered to be one of the effective media to establish sustained character building for college students and second, what appropriate Instructional Strategies to con-duct such effort are. The result shows that literature is still effective due to its natural characteristics, its wide spectrum, and its dynamically broadened functions. Under the conviction that the students have already been undergoing the process of embedment of some core values before, the given literary works containing, elaborating and questioning or challenging the given embedded values are taken to be the source of discussion. The instructional strategies cover discussion, debate, seminar, film appreciation, and creative writing. Keywords: character building, instructional strategies, literature, sustained
“Jelly VAC” for Negative-Pressure Therapy for Complex Wound Closure
Authors: Bergin Patrick F. , Wild Jason R. , Weber Timothy G. 
Published: March 2018

Case:
A 35-year-old man sustained an open calcaneal fracture with bone loss, and a 57-year-old woman sustained an avulsion of the entirety of the plantar skin. Both patients were treated with multiple debridements and soft-tissue coverage. “Jelly-VAC” (vacuum-assisted closure) therapy was used after each debridement and during the soft-tissue coverage.

Conclusion:
Jelly-VAC therapy is a promising alternative that allows negative-pressure therapy with the use of ultrasound jelly to prevent air leakage into the wound. We propose using this technique in areas where obtaining a seal is difficult, where VAC therapy is contraindicated because of adhesive dressings (i.e., with damaged or poor-quality skin), or when long-term VAC therapy is needed to prevent wound maceration or there is a need for “VAC holidays.”
Needs analyses for task-based curriculum design: How useful can it be for general purpose L2 courses?
Authors: Liakina Natallia , Michaud Gabriel 
Published: March 2018

When designing a task-based language curriculum, it is essential to conduct a needs analysis (NA) to gain insight into the needs and goals of the student population (Long SLA and TBLT 6). This article illustrates the steps of the process by which an NA was designed and implemented in two university-level B2 level oral communication French as a Second Language courses to investigate students’ perceptions of the TBLT approach, students’ motivations, needs and desired outcomes in order to develop task-based syllabi. This article also addresses the challenges of responding to the needs of a diverse student population in order to determine thematic content and to design the authentic real-life tasks that would appeal to different individual students while taking into account the sociolinguistic and cultural context of the Francophone province of Quebec.The NA consisted of an analysis of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), an online questionnaire given to both students (n = 48) and teachers (n = 8), and semi-structured interviews with students (n = 8). Despite the apparent heterogeneity of the participants in the two general purpose oral communication language classes, results suggest common, domain-independent goals and themes that would sufficiently cater to the needs and objectives of each individual in the group while also meeting the academic requirements of a university-level course.

Published: March 2018

Background:
Fatty acids are common dietary nutrients particularly in economically developed countries.
Research has revealed that omega-3fatty acids exert beneficial effects in the progression of atherosclerosis
and cardiovascular disease. Moreover, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid possess a number of
biological actions which improve cardio-metabolic health. Omega-3 fatty acids display remarkable anti-oxidant,
anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic and anti-arrhythmogenic actions. Furthermore, they improve the levels of
triglycerides, glucose metabolism and endothelial function.

Methods:
The aim of this review article is to present physical, biochemical and biological properties of omega-3
fatty acids and summarize the most important mechanisms of action on arterial wall properties and arterial stiffness
in atherosclerosis.

Results:
Omega-3 fatty acids may prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction and arterial
stiffness can be regulated by the supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids.

Conclusion:
The mechanisms of action of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular health and arterial stiffening
have been established. However, further research is needed in order to translate the conflicting results among the
studies and improve the therapeutic options of cardiovascular disease.

Background:
The skeleton is one of the frequent site of metastases in advanced cancer.
Prostate, breast and renal cancers mostly metastasize to bone.

Discussion:
Malignant tumors lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Identification of bone
lesions is a crucial step in diagnosis of disease at early stage, monitoring of disease progression and
evaluation of therapy. Diagnosis of cancer metastases is based on uptake of bone-targeted radioactive
tracer at different bone remodeling sites.

Conclusion:
This manuscript summarizes already established and evolving nuclear medicine modalities
(e.g. bone scan, SPECT, SPECT/CT, PET, PET/CT) for imaging of bone metastases.
Modelling of Friction Coefficient for Shoes Type LL By Means of Polynomial Fitting
Authors: Cantone L. , Ottati A. 
Published: March 2018

Introduction:
The paper describes the automatic procedure, implemented in UIC software TrainDy, for the simulation of friction coefficient of new LL shoes, used to avoid noise from freight traffic.

Method:
This procedure uses certified experimental data obtained at dynamometer bench as input data and computes a series of polynomials laws that describe the evolution of friction coefficient with speed, for different values of normal force between brake blocks and wheel and for different initial braking speeds.

Result:
Numerical results are compared against two series of experimental slip tests, carried on Trenitalia freight wagons, in terms of both stopping distances (for different starting speeds and loading conditions) and pressure in brake cylinder, speed and acceleration. Errors in terms of stopping distance are always below 5% whereas errors in terms of maximum acceleration are up to 20%.
