A communication model for non-fiction interactive digital narratives: A study of cultural heritage websites
Authors: Basaraba Nicole 
Published: November 2018

AbstractInteractive digital narrative (IDN) is an umbrella term used to encompass the various formats of digital narrative such as hypertext fiction, transmedia stories, and video games. The study of IDNs transverses the disciplines of narratology, game studies, and media studies. The main question this article addresses is how does the digital medium affect narrative in cultural heritage websites? This question is examined by proposing a new communication model that considers the role of digital media — the Creator-ProduserTransaction Model — and adapting existing “tools” of narrative analysis into a “narratological toolkit” for the study of non-fiction IDNs. The transaction between creators andprodusersand how an IDN narratological toolkit can be applied are exemplified through the analysis of three cultural heritage websites:Open Monuments (“Otwarte Zabytki”),Belgian Refugees of 1914–1919, andStorymap.
Brion Gysin, cut-ups, and contemporary painting: Narrating experience
Authors: Baryshnikova Daria 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn the early 1960 s Brion Gysin, while experimenting in various genres and media, “re-invented” the cut-up technique that first had appeared in the 1910-1920s in Dadaists art practices. The accidental selection of texts’ or visuals’ fragments and the randomness in their combination in cut-ups were aimed to represent multiple experiences occupying the human mind. Methodologically I draw upon “natural” narratology developed by Monika Fludernik, who redefines narrativity in terms of experientiality. Correspondingly, cut-up technique can be regarded as a means of representing human perception and other mental processes (unobservable directly), especially by mapping the simultaneity of external observations and internal reflections that exist in constant relationships between minds and their environments. The paper brings into correlation the enactivist idea of cognition without content, elaborated by Daniel D. Hutto and Eric Myin, with the idea that cut-up narratives in a sense also have no content. As there are no consistent and coherent story in cut-ups, there could be difficult for the reader to produce a clear mental representation of what is happening in the text. My paper proposes a new reading of texts that initially seem to be uncommunicative.
Notes for an econarratological theory of character
Authors: Caracciolo Marco 
Published: November 2018

AbstractScientists and scholars in multiple fields have been discussing the current geological epoch under the heading of the “Anthropocene” – an era marked by the planetary impact of human activities (Crutzen and Stoermer 2000). The epistemological shift brought about by this notion exposes the latent anthropocentrism of narrative practices, raising a challenge taken up by narrative theorists such as Erin James (2015) and Alexa Weik von Mossner (2017) in the context of an “econarratology.” In this article, I examine the prime suspect for anthropocentrism in narrative – namely, the notion of character as intrinsically human-like. My point of departure is A. J. Greimas’s (1976) actantial model of narrative, which I revisit and revise in light of work in the field of ecolinguistics (Goatly 1996). I thus explore five strategies through which narrative may integrate nonhuman characters that challenge both anthropocentrism and the subject-object binary that anthropocentrism entails. I exemplify these strategies by discussing contemporary novels that deal with the Anthropocenic entanglement of humanity and the nonhuman world.
Game-construction students experiences of educational games - gaming outcomes and learning outcomes
Authors: Mozelius Peter 
Published: November 2018

AbstractGame-based learning has been a rapidly expanding field in the 21th century, with research reports praising the motivational effects and learning outcomes of games. At the same time there have been doubts on the learning outcomes of even the most seriously designed learning games. The generation that today enrols for university programmes is in general a gaming generation, and game construction students are often so called hard core gamers. What are the game construction students’ experiences of educational games, and what are their perceived learning outcomes?This study is based on student essays on gaming habits and game-based learning outcomes, written by students taking a course on game-based learning. Essays from four course batches have been thematically analysed to answer the two research questions. Findings show that students have a rich experience of various kinds of games, but that they do not make any clear distinction between games developed for educational purposes, and other games. Students also perceive that there are cognitive, behavioural as well as affective learning outcomes from both standard entertainment games, and more serious learning games.
Sustainability of U-CALL
Authors: Veselá Katerina Gajdáčová 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This paper shows that the flexibility of time as a potential of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) proves the sustainability of its latest stage – Ubiquitous CALL. Firstly, the ideas of the Third Millennium Pedagogy are combined with the ethical and philosophical principles of sustainable education. One of the descriptors of the sustainable education – its durability is then compared with the principle of time flexibility in e-learning. On this theoretical base, the ideas of Ubiquitous Learning in general and Ubiquitous CALL (U-CALL) in particular are developed. Two comparable cases of the research aimed at the time flexibility of e-learning in foreign language education are described. The former one was conducted in 2016, the later in 2008. Similar results in time flexibility prove that e-learning in language education can be omnipresent, fulfilling the demands on Ubiquitous CALL. The durability of time flexibility proven by the real-life examples indicates the sustainability of U-CALL.
Time-domain dynamics of reverse saturable absorbers with application to plasmon-enhanced optical limiters
Authors: Azzam Shaimaa I. , Kildishev Alexander V. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
An advanced full-wave time-domain numerical model for reverse saturable absorption (RSA) is presented and verified. Rate equations describing atomic relaxations and excitation dynamics are coupled to the Maxwell equations by using a Lorentzian oscillator, which models the kinetics-dependent light–matter interactions. The presented novel technique provides a versatile multiphysics framework for designing complex structures and integrating diverse material models that were not previously possible. The multiphysics framework allows capturing the behavior of the RSA materials embedded in artificial photonic nanostructures that cannot be analyzed with established techniques such as the Beer–Lambert law. To showcase the importance of the full-wave RSA analysis coupled to carrier kinetics, we analyze two plasmon-enhanced optical limiters: a metal grating and a Fabry–Perot cavity-like structure where we decrease the unenhanced limiter threshold by a factor of 3 and 13, respectively. This is a promising approach for developing RSA devices operating at reduced illumination levels and thereby significantly expanding their area of applicability to areas such as protective eyewear and automatically dimmed windows. By exploring the dynamic behavior of a given RSA system, this framework will provide critical insights into the design of transformative photonic devices and their complementary optical characterization, and serve as an invaluable utility for guiding the development of synthetic absorbing materials. We believe that our multiphysics models are crucial enabling tools that lay a necessary foundation for the numerical machinery required for the realization and optimization of optical limiting and all-optical switching systems.
Organoselenium and organotellurium compounds containing chalcogen-oxygen bonds in organic synthesis or related processes
Authors: Pop Alexandra , Silvestru Cristian , Silvestru Anca 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This chapter emphasizes aspects related to the role of organochalcogen (Se, Te) compounds with single E‒O and/or double E=O (E=Se, Te) bonds in organic synthesis, as reagents, intermediates, or catalysts, and it gives a larger extent mainly to data reported in the field during the last ten years. For each of these two heavier chalcogens the material is structured according to the oxidation state of the chalcogen and, for the same oxidation state, in sections dedicated to a particular type of compounds. Functionalization or cyclization reactions in which the organochalcogen compounds take part as nucleophiles, electrophiles or radicals, employed in various synthetic transformations, are discussed and, where available, the mechanistic aspects are outlined. New chiral species and new strategies were developed during last years in order to increase the yield, the reaction rate and the stereoselectivity in specific organic transformations, i.e. addition, oxidation, elimination, cyclization or rearrangement reactions. A notably attention was devoted to easily accessible and environmental friendly catalysts, re-usable and “green” solvents, as well as waste-free procedures.
Novel radiochromic porphyrin-based film dosimeters for γ ray dosimetry: investigation on metal and ligand effects
Authors: Noorin Eftekhar Sadat , Feizi Shahzad , Dehaghi Shahram Moradi 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
As the utilizing of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins in high dose dosimetry becomes more prevalent, research on structural effects of these molecules on dosimetric characteristics and physicochemical properties of their film dosimeters becomes more and more essential. The present study emphasizes dosimetry (measuring radiolytic bleaching of two novel film dosimeters with spectrophotometric methods against 60Co γ-rays exposure in dose range of 0–100 kGy) and evaluating substituent effects on the radiation response of the film dosimeters (role of organic groups and changing the metal core of porphyrins). With casting of solutions of polycarbonate (PC) containing 0.5 wt.% 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl) porphyrin (TTMPP) and 5,10,15,20-Tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphine manganese (III) chloride (Mn-TPP), two novel radiochromic films with the thickness of 20 μm were fabricated. The presence of porphyrin fragments has been observed in the UV–Vis spectra after γ radiation. Due to the changes of the metal core and substituents of the dye ring, meaningful shifts of maximum absorbance of Soret bands of porphyrins and different radiation response of film-dosimeters were observed. The results were compared with the other polycarbonate/porphyrin film dosimeters. The results indicate that the radiation-induced decoloration of PC/Porphyrin films can be reliably tuned and used in high dose dosimetry.
Investigating ‘care leaver’ identity: A narrative analysis of personal experience stories
Authors: Evans Craig 
Published: November 2018

AbstractPeople who spent time in public care as children are often represented as ‘care leavers’. This paper investigates how ‘care leaver’ is discursively constructed as a group identity, by analyzing 18 written personal experience stories from several charity websites by people identified or who self-identify as care leavers. Several approaches to narrative analysis are used: a clause-level analysis based on Labovʼs code scheme; the identification of turning points; an analysis of ‘identity work’; and an analysis of subject positions relative to ‘master narratives’. The findings from each of the methods are then combined to reveal how intertextual, narrative-structural, and contextual factors combine to constitute a common care leaver discourse. This forms the basis for a characterization of ‘care leaver’ group identity as ‘survivors of the system’. The findings also reveal how ‘care leaver’ as type, including stereotype, influences how identity is constructed in the personal experience narratives.
The Typological Framework of Myths as a Tool for Studying Political Thought
Authors: Rak Joanna 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The article proposes a typological framework of myths which applies to empirical research on political thought. The framework introduces three typologies of myths distinguished by a subject criterion. Their subjects are things, people, and animals. Each typology consists of the dyads of antinomic ideal types located on continua by the extent of the valuation of the myth’s subject. The tool will help researchers identify the processes for understanding the revaluation and devaluation of the myth’s subject over time. Furthermore, it enables researchers to determine the extents of the diversification of mythical political thought as well as to distinguish between myths in their morphology. This research tool applies to empirical research because it encompasses the objectively identifiable and verifiable theoretical models consisting of the essential features of myths.

Abstract

Background
Peripheral neuropathy is the dose-limiting toxicity of many oncology drugs, including paclitaxel. There is large interindividual variability in the neuropathy, and several risk factors have been proposed; however, many have not been replicated. Here we present a comprehensive study aimed at identifying treatment and physiopathology-related paclitaxel-induced neuropathy risk factors in a large cohort of well-characterized patients.

Patients and Methods
Analyses included 503 patients with breast or ovarian cancer who received paclitaxel treatment. Paclitaxel dose modifications caused by the neuropathy were extracted from medical records and patients self-reported neuropathy symptoms were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify concomitant medications and comorbidities associated with paclitaxel-induced neuropathy.

Results
Older patients had higher neuropathy: for each increase of 1 year of age, the risk of dose modifications and grade 3 neuropathy increased 4% and 5%, respectively. Cardiovascular drugs increased the risk of paclitaxel dose reductions (odds ratio [OR], 2.51; p = .006), with a stronger association for beta-adrenergic antagonists. The total number of concomitant medications also showed an association with dose modifications (OR, 1.25; p = .012 for each concomitant drug increase). A dose modification predictive model that included the new identified factors gave an area under the curve of 0.74 (p = 1.07 × 10−10). Preexisting nerve compression syndromes seemed to increase neuropathy risk.

Conclusion
Baseline characteristics of the patients, including age and concomitant medications, could be used to identify individuals at high risk of neuropathy, personalizing chemotherapy treatment and reducing the risk of severe neuropathy.
Understanding the mHealth implementation and adoption impact: a FVM perspective
Authors: Wickramasinghe Nilmini 
Published: November 2018

<p>Successful adoption and implementation of Mobile Health applications (mHealth) has been the subject of extensive research as can be evidenced by the large body of research literature on this topic. However, the fit and viability perspective issues have been less widely studied, perhaps because of the difficulty and complexity of healthcare services and delivery factors and their studies. In today’s global business environment this remains a key issue and critical success factor. Hence, this paper explains how challenging the mHealth application implementation success is for organizations government and patients. Furthermore, it is also very important to assess a fit and viability of mHealth application implementations in diverse environment. By drawing upon multiple streams of theory building, a framework, from the Fit-Viability Model (FVM) perspective, is developed. The framework provides important and valuable guiding principles for the decisions on adoption and deployment of mHealth applications. Grounded on the fit-viability framework, the paper advocates the use of a multi-case study approach to examine the success or failure of mHealth applications adoption and implementation. Managers and researchers can use the developed framework to identify the fit and viability of mHealth applications implementations to increase the possibility of success. </p>

Authors: Aarti Patel  , Pratibha Singh  , Shagufta Khan  
Published: November 2018

An efficient regeneration protocol for Phyllanthus niruri was developed using nodal explants on MS medium augmented with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators. The highest frequency (85.5%) of bud break and shoot induction was observed on medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP along with 0.5 mg/l IBA with the formation of 4.2±0.5 number of shoots having length of 3.0±0.1 centimeters within ten days. MS medium fortified with 1.0 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l Kinetin in combination with NAA (0.5 mg/L) showed the highest percentage (80.0%) shoot multiplication with an average of 9.0±0.7 adventitious shoots, directly from the explants, without any callus formation. Shoots formed were remarkable healthy and achieved the length of 10.0±0.5 centimeters in 25 days. Elongated shoots were rooted best on MS medium with 1.0 mg/l IBA producing maximum number of roots with 85% response with average length 8.0±0.3 cm within 15 days. The plantlets were gradually acclimatized and successfully transferred to field condition with 98% survival rate after rooting. The standardized protocol reported in this study may help in large scale propagation of this plant species which is currently exploited from the nature.
