Starred cosmopolitanism: Celebrity chefs, documentaries, and the circulation of global desire
Authors: Parasecoli Fabio 
Published: May 2016

AbstractSeveral documentaries about celebrity chefs were released between 2010 and 2012, building on trends that have turned knowledge of and access to fine dining restaurants into a crucial arena for globalized elite’s construction of social status and cultural capital. The analysis of three of these films – Three Stars, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, and Step up to Your Plate – indicates how media contribute to the formation of a global canon of practices, performances, and discourses that naturalize the accomplished, knowledgeable, and male chef trained in established and prestigious food traditions as the culinary ideal.
Patients’ perception of differences in general practitioners’ attitudes toward immigrants compared to the general population: Qualicopc Slovenia
Authors: Jakič Maja , Rotar Pavlič Danica 
Published: May 2016

Abstract

Introduction
Globally, the number of immigrants is rising every year, so that the number of immigrants worldwide is estimated at 200 million. In Slovenia, immigrants comprise 6.5% of the overall population. Immigrants bring along to a foreign country their cultural differences and these differences can affect immigrants’ overall health status and lead to chronic health conditions. The aim of this study was to identify patients’ perception of general practitioners’ (GPs’) attitudes toward immigrants in Slovenia.

Methods
This study was based on the Qualicopc questionnaire. We used the questions that targeted patients’ experience with the appointment at their GP on the day that the study was carried out.

Results
There were no differences in GPs’ accessibility based on groups included in our study (p>0.05). Compared to the non-immigrant population, first-generation immigrants answered that their GPs were impolite (p=0.018) and that they did not take enough time for them (p=0.038). In addition, they also experienced more difficulties understanding their GP’s instructions (p<0.001). Second-generation immigrants experienced more negative behaviour from GPs, and first-generation immigrants had more difficulties understanding GPs’ instructions.

Conclusion
There may be some differences in patients’ perception of GPs’ attitudes towards immigrants in comparison with the general Slovenian population. However, based on the perception of the immigrants that do benefit from the medical care it is not possible to judge the GPs’ attitudes towards immigrants as worse compared to their attitude towards the non-immigrant population. Indeed, there may be other reasons why the patients answered the way they did.

Abstract

Introduction
An ongoing issue of expired medications accumulating in some households is a universal problem around the world. The aim of the study was to investigate the extent and structure of expired medications in Serbian households, and to determine which therapeutic groups generated the most waste.

Methods
This was an observational, cross-sectional study conducted in households in the city of Novi Sad, Serbia. The study had been performed over 8 month period (December 2011 - July 2012) and it consisted of personal insights into the medication inventory in households.

Results
Of 1008 families, 383 agreed to participate and complete the questionnaire (38.3% response rate). In almost a half of households (44.4%), expired medications were maintained. The amount of expired medications was 402 items, corresponding to 9.2% of total medications presented in surveyed households. The majority of expired medications (64.7%) was in solid dosage (tablets, capsules, granules, lozenges), following semisolid (ointments, creams, gel, suppositories) and liquid dosage forms (drops, syrups). Expired medications in the households belonged mostly to 3 categories: antimicrobials for systemic use (16.7%), dermatological preparation (15.9%) and medications for alimentary tract and metabolism (14.2%).

Conclusions
This study revealed that there were relatively large quantities of expired medications in Serbian households, with a high prevalence of antibiotics for systemic use, anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic products, and medications for alimentary tract and metabolism.
Prevalence of violence towards nursing staff in Slovenian nursing homes

AbstractIntroductionThe purpose of this research was to identify the prevalence of violence towards nursing staff in Slovenian nursing homes.MethodsFor the purpose of this study, a non-experimental sampling method was employed, using a structured questionnaire as a data collection instrument (n=527). The contents of the questionnaire proved valid and reliable, with a high enough degree of internal consistency (Cronbach Alpha minimum 0.82).ResultsThe nursing staffs working in nursing homes for senior citizens are at high risk of violence. In the last year, the employees were most often faced with verbal violence (71.7%), physical violence (63.8%) and sexual violence (35.5%). 35.5% of employees suffered injuries at their working place. During aggressive outbursts of nursing home residents, employees particularly experience vulnerability, fear and insecurity.ConclusionThere is a need for a comprehensive approach to tackle workplace violence. Some psychiatric health care facilities have already introduced certain measures in this field, and reduction of workplace violence proves that it is possible to reduce aggressive outbursts of patients. After conducting further quantitative research, which would expose detailed characteristics and the background of such violence, it would be sensible to develop similar measures in the field of health care in nursing homes.

Published: May 2016

Abstract
Roma populations’ low health status and limited access to health services, including primary care, has been documented in many European countries, and warrants specific health policies and practices. A variety of experiences shows how primary care can adjust its practices to reduce the barriers to primary care for Roma populations.
At local level, establishing collaboration with Roma organisations helps primary care to improve mutual relations and quality of care. Mediation has proved to be an effective tool. Skills training of primary care practitioners may enhance their individual competences. Research and international sharing of experiences are further tools to improve primary care for the Roma people.

Abstract
Varela-Sanz, A, Tuimil, JL, Abreu, L, and Boullosa, DA. Does concurrent training intensity distribution matter? J Strength Cond Res 31(1): 181–195, 2017—Previous research has demonstrated the influence of intensity distribution on endurance training adaptations. However, no study has addressed the influence of intensity distribution on the effectiveness of concurrent training (CT). The main objective of this study was to compare the effects of 2 CT programs with different training intensity distribution and externally equated loads on physical fitness. Thirty-one sport science students volunteered and were evaluated for resting heart rate variability (HRV), countermovement jump, bench press, half squat, and maximum aerobic speed (MAS). All were randomly distributed into either a traditional-based training group (TT; n = 11; 65–75% of MAS, combined with 10–12 repetition maximum [RM]), polarized training group (PT; n = 10; 35–40% and 120% of MAS, combined with 5RM and 15RM), or control group (CG; n = 10). After 8 weeks of training (3 days.week−1), TT and PT exhibited similar improvements in MAS, bench press, and half squat performances. No differences were observed between TT and PT groups for perceived loads. There were no changes in HRV for any group, although TT exhibited a reduction in resting heart rate. Compared with other groups, the PT group maintained jump capacity with an increment in body mass and body mass index without changes in body fatness. In conclusion, PT induced similar improvements in physical fitness of physically active individuals when compared with TT. However, PT produced a lower interference for jumping capacity despite an increment in body mass, whereas TT induced greater bradycardia. Extended studies with different intensity distributions should be conducted to better determine the dose-response of CT in various populations.

AbstractDuring meiosis, cohesin complexes mediate sister chromatid cohesion (SCC), synaptonemal complex (SC) assembly and synapsis. Here, using super‐resolution microscopy, we imaged sister chromatid axes in mouse meiocytes that have normal or reduced levels of cohesin complexes, assessing the relationship between localization of cohesin complexes, SCC and SC formation. We show that REC8 foci are separated from each other by a distance smaller than 15% of the total chromosome axis length in wild‐type meiocytes. Reduced levels of cohesin complexes result in a local separation of sister chromatid axial elements (LSAEs), as well as illegitimate SC formation at these sites. REC8 but not RAD21 or RAD21L cohesin complexes flank sites of LSAEs, whereas RAD21 and RAD21L appear predominantly along the separated sister‐chromatid axes. Based on these observations and a quantitative distribution analysis of REC8 along sister chromatid axes, we propose that the high density of randomly distributed REC8 cohesin complexes promotes SCC and prevents illegitimate SC formation.
Aprender a emprender con código
Authors: Dehter Mario 
Published: May 2016

En este artículo de reflexión, se analiza cómo la formación académica que se imparte en las facultades de ingeniería en la mayoría de las universidades iberoamericanas es monodisciplinar, es decir, especializada en alguna rama tecnológica, descuidando el aprendizaje de habilidades sociales que forman la base del talento para el liderazgo, los espíritus visionarios e innovadores y las actitudes y aptitudes que permiten hacer buenos negocios. Si bien educar para el emprendimiento es un tema instalado en toda la comunidad educativa a través de todos los niveles de enseñanza, esto no significa que se deba dejar de lado la reflexión académica entre enseñar a y aprender a emprender. Algunas propuestas son expuestas con el fin de mejorar la situación de la educación emprendedora en los programas de ingeniería y se sintetizan conceptos tales como open source learning, flipped classroom y entorno personal de aprendizaje (ple). Se propone una renovación de estrategias didácticas para aplicar en las aulas de ingeniería los componentes del aprendizaje emprendedor con código abierto. Así, los docentes deben afrontar los riesgos implícitos en los desafíos con el fin de crear diseños instruccionales en los cuales los estudiantes aprendan y emprendan a través de sus propios intereses.
Programa Regional de Emprendedorismo e Innovación en Ingeniería: una experiencia colaborativa para la promoción de la empresarialidad en carreras de Ingeniería
Authors: Braidot Néstor , Cesar Ruben , González Victoria 
Published: May 2016

El artículo es un reporte de caso del Programa Regional de Emprendedorismo e Innovación en Ingeniería (PRECITyE), del cual formaron parte instituciones representativas en la formación de ingenieros de Argentina (CONFENDI), Chile (CONFENDI), Brasil (ABENGE) y Uruguay (ANII). Aquí se exponen los aspectos relevantes de este programa, el cual contó con el apoyo de los organismos responsables de la educación superior de los países citados y del “Programa Bienes Públicos Regionales” del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo. Comenzando con un análisis de contexto y vinculándolo con las políticas del CONFENDI (Consejo Federal de Decanos de Ingeniería de la República Argentina), se realizó una descripción de los sucesos que permitieron un desarrollo inédito, tanto por sus alcances y su lógica distribuida, como también por la participación de los profesores de los cuatro países en la determinación de los parámetros críticos de las diferentes actividades y producidos. Se detallan los fundamentos teóricos del campo de la educación para la empresarialidad o educación emprendedora, los cuales oficiaron de guía para el diseño del programa y la definición de sus actividades. En un último apartado, se describen sintéticamente los productos generados que, por su propia génesis, devinieron en bienes de uso público. Se concluye con la necesidad de abordar los complejos procesos de mejoramiento continuo de la enseñanza de la ingeniería a través de esquemas colaborativos entre instituciones representativas, que agrupen las unidades académicas formadoras de ingenieros.

Published: May 2016

Introducción: las enzimas salivales del huésped se han propuesto como biomarcadores de diagnóstico del estado periodontal. La concentración de la fosfatasa alcalina salival (FAL) se ha asociado con la enfermedad periodontal (EP). Objetivo: el propósito de este estudio fue determinar la posible relación entre los niveles de FAL en la saliva y las profundidades de sondaje. Materiales y Métodos: un total de 90 pacientes, sistémicamente sanos y con periodontitis, se dividieron en dos grupos: G1, 45 pacientes con bolsas periodontales de 4-5 mm de profundidad y G2, 45 pacientes con 6 o más mm de profundidad. Los niveles de ALP (UI/l) en la saliva se evaluaron mediante un espectrofotómetro a 520 nm. Resultados: la concentración media de ALP salival fue mayor en el G1 en comparación con el G2 (p > 0,05). La prueba de correlación de Pearson mostró relación significativa entre las concentraciones de ALP salival y la profundidad de sondaje (p > 0,05). Conclusión: las determinaciones de ALP salival pueden llegar a ser prácticas y fiables para la detección de la actividad y gravedad de la EP.

Published: May 2016

Introducción: ciertas características oclusales se pueden asociar con trastornos a nivel de la articulación temporomandibular, alteraciones de la estética y funciones del sistema estomatognático; pueden aparecer en cualquier etapa del desarrollo dental y están relacionados con diversos factores que incluyen la herencia y factores ambientales como los hábitos. Objetivo: describir el perfil epidemiológico de la oclusión dental estática y algunos hábitos orales de un grupo de escolares en la ciudad de Medellín. Materiales y Métodos: estudio descriptivo transversal en una muestra a conveniencia de 420 escolares; se evaluaron en el plano vertical: la sobremordida vertical, mordida borde a borde y mordida abierta anterior. Transversal: mordida cruzada posterior y mordida en tijera y en el plano sagital mordida cruzada anterior, sobremordida horizontal y las relaciones molares y caninas permanentes según la clasificación de Angle. Se evaluaron hábitos como la onicofagia, succión digital y queilofagia. Resultados: la edad promedio fue de 8,7 años (±1,8); 50,2% (211) eran mujeres; el 26,4% (111) y el 24,5% (103) presentaron relación canina clase I derecha e izquierda respectivamente; 63,6% (267) relación molar Clase I derecha y 61,2% (257) izquierda. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el análisis segmentado por sexos para las variables. La mordida cruzada posterior se relaciona posiblemente y de manera significativa con el hábito de succión digital (p = 0,010). Conclusiones: los estudios de oclusión dinámica son difíciles de analizar comparativamente dada la variabilidad en la metodología y el control de las variables confusoras y las edades de los sujetos.
Investigating the Reasons behind the Increase in Medical Negligence Claims
Authors: Pienaar Letitia 
Published: May 2016

Medical negligence claims have increased significantly over the last number of years. The trend is still ongoing and concerns have been raised about the impact of this increase on the medical industry. Medical practitioners are increasingly practising defensive medicine in an attempt to limit the risk of medical negligence claims being instituted against them. Medical negligence claims are instituted for a number of reasons, such as lack of communication between doctor and patient. Birth-related claims are instituted most frequently.
This contribution investigates the possible reasons behind the increase in both the value and the number of medical negligence claims. The focus falls especially on the increase in the number of claims. The contribution considers a decline in the level of professionalism amongst medical practitioners as one reason behind the increase, followed by the possibility that lawyers may be responsible for the increase in claims. In addition, it is pointed out that patients are simply becoming more aware of their rights.
The contribution further focuses on patient-centred legislation and pronouncements by courts that bolster patient autonomy and place patients in an ever stronger position to enforce their rights. Relevant provisions of the Constitution, the National Health Act, the Consumer Protection Act and the Children's Act are singled out for discussion, followed by a brief discussion of case law in line with themes identified in the aforementioned legislation.
The contribution submits that the increase in medical negligence claims should not come as a surprise, considering the high regard that our courts had for patient autonomy even before the enactment of the 1996 Constitution. The Constitution and the above legislation now contain specific rights that patients, including child patients, can enforce. The best interests of the child principle embodied in both the Constitution and the Children's Act is very prominent in the medical context and impacts on the medical practitioner's responsibilities towards a child patient. The Constitutional Court relied on this principle in its recent judgment to the effect that claims for wrongful life (brought by a child with a disability), may possibly have a place in our law. If the claim for wrongful life is eventually confirmed, we will no doubt see a further increase in medical negligence claims.
Patient-centred legislation and pronouncements by our courts that constantly reiterate the importance of patient rights arguably create very fertile ground for medical negligence claims. These are, as the contribution concludes, merely contributing factors to the phenomenon under investigation.
The International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters: Finalization, Adoption and Law of the Sea Implications
Authors: Jensen Øystein 
Published: May 2016

The most recent instrument specifically designed to make navigation in polar waters safer and more environmentally friendly is the International Maritime Organization’s long-awaited “International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters” – the Polar Code. This article first briefly examines the legislative history of the Code, with emphasis on the final and consolidating phase of development. Second, an account is provided of the main contents of the Code as regards its regulations on safety measures and pollution prevention. Finally, the analysis places the new framework in the broader context of international law, including an examination of the Polar Code’s relationship to specific provisions and legislative arrangements of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.(Published: May 2016)Citation: Ø.

High North, Low Politics—Maritime Cooperation with Russia in the Arctic
Authors: Østhagen Andreas 
Published: May 2016

Maritime activity is increasing in the Arctic. So is bilateral cooperation across maritime borders between coast guards intent on protecting natural resources, saving lives and assisting navigation. As tensions rose between Russia and the West in 2014, due to the conflict in Ukraine, coast guard cooperation in the Bering and Barents Seas was unaffected. Why? How did the respective bilateral cooperative structures between Norway/the United States and Russia develop, and why were they deemed “too vital to cancel” in the aftermath of events in Ukraine? This article examines how the respective states have developed cooperative regimes since the 1970s, and subsequently how these regimes have come to constitute the backbone of bilateral management of these vast and invaluable maritime domains. The argument made is that the specific character of coast guards and their role as stewards of the sea separate them from other military structures, making bilateral cooperation not only valuable, but indispensable, to the management of the states’ maritime sovereignty.(Published: May 2016)Citation: A.
