New Approaches to Old Art: The Launch of NGA Online Editions’ Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century
Authors: Henel Jennifer E. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
In April 2014, the National Gallery of Art launched its first online scholarly publication as part of the Online Scholarly Catalogue Initiative (“OSCI”) funded and initiated by The Getty Foundation. Although Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century, by Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. (http://www.nga.gov/content/ngaweb/research/online-editions/17th-century-dutch-paintings.html), was originally issued in 1995 as a volume in the Gallery’s Systematic Catalogue series (and thus, not “born digital”!), its online presence is an updated and enlarged version of its shelved self. This new format for the Gallery’s permanent collection offers a new framework for delivering scholarly information in a sustainable format.
(Re)Born Digital–Trans-Affirming Research, Curriculum, and Pedagogy: An Interactive Multimodal Story Using Twine
Authors: Miles Adetty Pérez , Jenkins Kevin 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
In this essay, the authors discuss Twine, a powerful tool for creating games to introduce students to game design and the creation of interactive stories that are nonlinear and choice-based. The latter term refers to games that allow players to choose one path over another by clicking on hyperlink(s) in order to progress the story. It is further proposed that making games is as much fun as gameplay, and that the technical skills and creative ideas involved in conceptualizing interactive stories enhance people’s ability to consider pressing social issues. The objective of the interactive story explored here is to create a platform where players—for example, students and educators–better understand the personal experiences of transgender youth, potentially identify and intervene in classroom practices that are oppressive toward gender-nonconforming students, and create spaces that foster behavior and actions that are respectful and affirmative toward all students.
Glitch Perfect: Malfunction and the Machinic Assemblage of Girlhood
Authors: Wolfgang Courtnie N. , Ivashkevich Olga , Keyes OK 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThis short experimental article, which can be accessed at http://www.press.uillinois.edu/journals/var/media/43.1/wolfgang/, introduces a concept of Glitch Feminism as a digital tool of creative resistance that disrupts a normative gendered identity and fabricated female body in 21st-century digital cultures (Russell, 2012; 2013). It showcases video work by adolescent girls in a juvenile arbitration program who used glitch effects to “break” music video clips by popular female artists and their own self-directed videos, to thereby render female bodies on screen as ambiguous, flawed, and indistinguishable. This action of glitching challenged surveillance and fetishization of female bodies in social media and popular digital cultures and allowed girl participants to play with self-representations outside of the institutional labels of “law offenders” and girls “in trouble.” To better represent the complex entanglements and intersections of theory and the girls’ digital productions, we use the interactive storytelling format of Twine (https://twinery.org), linking text and still and moving images in a nonlinear fashion, and prompting the reader to continuously move back and forth between the conceptual ideas and visual representations to embrace incompleteness, ambiguity, and inquiry.
Adapting Art Critiques to Address Digital Harm

Published: July 2017

Abstract
How can we use the skills our students have already developed in the art classroom to address digital harm issues? Pre-service art teachers and students who are comfortable with the critiquing process and understand it as a way to systematically explore and discuss the technical, contextual, and interpretive aspects of artwork may be able to apply the same skills to analyze digital harm incidents so they can be better prepared for digital life.
The empirical-phenomenological research framework: Reflecting on its use
Authors: Christensen Martin 
Published: July 2017

Background and objective: Descriptive phenomenology when used within the tradition of Husserl offers the qualitative researcher a unique perspective into the lived experience of the phenomena in question. Methods of data analysis are often seen as the theoretical framework for which these studies are then focused. However, what is not realised is that the data analysis tool is merely that a tool for which to delineate the individual narratives. What is often missing is a research framework for which to structure the actual study. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to offer a reflective account of how the empirical-phenomenological framework shaped and informed a descriptive phenomenological study looking at the lived experience of male nursing students as they journey though the under-graduate nursing programme.Methods: A reflective narrative was used to examine and explore how the empirical-phenomenological framework can be used to support method construction within a descriptive phenomenological study.Results and conclusions: The empirical-phenomenological research framework aims to provide a practical method for understanding and valuing the range and depth of descriptive phenomenology, in particular the lived experience. Used in combination with specific phenomenological data analysis models the empirical-phenomenological framework is structured to support the qualitative research process.
Students’ Personal Initiative towards their Speaking Performance
Authors: Liando Nihta V. F. , Lumettu Raesita 
Published: July 2017

This research aims at finding out students’ personal initiative towards their achievement in speaking English. This research was conducted in an English department at a university in North Sulawesi Indonesia. The data were obtained from the sixth semester students in English Language and Literature study program of academic year 2015/2016 consisting of 21 students. In obtaining the data about students’ personal initiative, a questionnaire was distributed, and for the speaking performance, the data were obtained from students’ scores in Public Speaking subject. To find out the relation between these two variables, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient formula was used. The result of this research shows that there is a correlation between students’ personal initiative towards their speaking performance with the value of = (0.52) categorized as a moderate correlation. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that personal initiative of students was important to be considered as one of several determination factors for students’ achievement in English speaking skill. It is suggested that students encourage themselves for taking initiative to speak, and for the teacher to give the students correction and suggestion to help them develop themselves.

2017/14 Dansk Industri revisited: the Danish Supreme Court overrides the EU Court of Justice (DE)
On 6 December 2016, the Danish Supreme Court delivered its long-awaited judgment on the case of Ajos, addressing the issue of whether a private employer was entitled to refuse to make a redundancy payment in reliance on the former section 2a(3) of the Danish Salaried Employees Act or whether the general principle against discrimination on grounds of age needed to take precedence. It concluded that the employer was entitled to refuse to pay.

2017/22 Use of ex-employee’s emails and files found on company PC admissible (GR)
The Supreme Court ruled that evidence of wrongdoing obtained by a company against two former executives was admissible in court, as it was legitimate that the company should have the opportunity to defend its right to free competition. In such cases, the executives’ right to privacy of communication should be balanced against the company’s freedom of competition.

<p class="PaperAbstract"><span class="hps"><span lang="EN-US">From gravimetric studies, hybrid nano-coatings, based on permanganate/fluo­ride/gly­cerol conversion coating solutions formed on aluminum alloy by immersion procedures developed rapidly at a rate which decreased with time of treatment and was about 16 mg in weight after a period of three minutes. The morphology of the coating during scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examinations revealed randomly shaped coating materials with mud cracking patterns, characteristics of dried out coatings derived from gel-like materials. Analyses of the coating using EDX attachment in the SEM showed that it was composed essentially of aluminum, oxygen and manganese compounds, probably hydrated. The corrosion resistance of the coating out-performed ‘bare’ aluminum alloy specimens exposed to natural environment and 1 M sodium chloride solution. The coating improved the paint adhesion characteristics of the substrate aluminum alloy.</span></span></p><p><em><em><br /></em></em></p>
Behaviour of free-range laying hens in distinct outdoor environments

Published: July 2017

AbstractThe outdoor range in free-range, egg-production systems contains features that aim to promote the performance of natural behaviours. It is unclear what features of the range laying hens prefer and how these influence hen behaviour. We hypothesised that hens would demonstrate a preference for features of the environment in which their ancestor evolved, such as relatively dense vegetation, within the outdoor range and that the behavioural time budget of hens will differ between distinct environments. Characteristics of the outdoor range in one free-range commercial egg farm were mapped and four distinct environments (‘locations’) were identified based on ground substrate and cover (Wattle Tree, Gum Tree, Bare Earth and Sapling). The number of hens accessing each location and behavioural time budget of these hens was recorded over a three-week period during the southern hemisphere summer (January-February). Hens showed a clear preference for the Wattle Tree and Gum Tree locations; however, a significant interaction between location and time of day suggested that the hens’ preference for different locations changed throughout the day. The most common behaviours displayed by hens were foraging, preening, locomotion, resting and vigilance, and most behaviours were influenced by the interaction between location and time of day. Overall, a wider variety of behaviours were performed in the highly preferred environments, but not all behaviours were performed equally within each environment throughout the day. Understanding what features hens prefer in the outdoor range and how this influences the performance of natural behaviours is important in promoting the welfare of hens in free-range production.
Zoo foraging ecology: development and assessment of a welfare tool for captive animals
Authors: Troxell-Smith SM , Whelan CJ , Magle SB , Brown JS 
Published: July 2017

AbstractForaging ecology and food patch studies are commonly used to elucidate the environmental perceptions of wild, free-ranging animals. Their application to captive animals, however, especially those in zoos, is still in its infancy. To illustrate some specific applications of zoo foraging ecology, we provide a study that evaluated: (i) whether patch use and giving-up densities (GUDs) can reveal areas of preference within an exhibit for zoo species; (ii) if food patches provide an effective form of behavioural enrichment; and (iii) if visitor interest and behaviour is affected by food patch presence. A combination of behavioural observations, and experimental food patches and giving-up densities were used to address these objectives in Parma wallabies (Macropus parma) and Patagonian cavies (Dolichotis patagonum) at Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago, Illinois USA. GUDs revealed distinct areas of preference and aversion within the exhibit for cavies, but not so for the wallabies. For both species, presence of food patches increased foraging behaviours, decreased inactive behaviours, and increased within-exhibit movement, demonstrating that food patches serve as an effective behavioural enrichment technique. The use of food patches also revealed striking differences between individuals, particularly for the pair of cavies. There were encouraging trends toward increased visitor number and stay-time when food patches were present in each exhibit, but the effect was not statistically significant. These results suggest that utilising patch use, GUDs, and foraging theory in zoo populations may enhance animal welfare, and can inform improvements to exhibit design directly from the animal's perspective. We conclude with a broader discussion of zoo foraging ecology as an emerging field, with suggestions for future avenues of research.
Technical contribution: evaluation of the efficacy of a non-penetrating captive bolt to euthanase dairy goat kids up to 30 days of age
Authors: Sutherland MA , Watson TJ , Millman ST 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a non-penetrating captive bolt (NPCB) to euthanase previously disbudded Saanen dairy goat kids (Capra hircus) up to 30 days of age and 9 kg bodyweight. Goats were euthanased by placing the muzzle of the NPCB behind the poll between the ears with the goat's head bent so its chin was touching its chest. The NPCB was either fired once (Experiment 1; n = 30) or twice in quick succession (Experiment 2; n = 103). Immediately after application of the NPCB and every 30 s thereafter, signs of sensibility (presence of brainstem reflexes) were assessed together with the presence of cardiac activity, convulsions and rhythmic respiration, until cardiac activity ceased. In Experiment 1, 27 of the 30 goat kids were rendered immediately insensible and remained insensible until cardiac activity ceased; brainstem reflexes (the blink reflex) and rhythmic respiration remained present in three of the animals after application of the NPCB. In Experiment 2, all goat kids were rendered immediately insensible without return to sensibility prior to cessation of cardiac activity and death. In conclusion, applying the NPCB twice in close succession, behind the poll between the ears with the goat's head bent so its chin was touching its chest, reliably caused immediate and sustained insensibility followed by death in Saanen goat kids up to 30 days of age and 9 kg bodyweight.
Canine trap-neuter-return: a critical review of potential welfare issues
Authors: Bacon H , Vancia V , Walters H , Waran N 
Published: July 2017

AbstractFree-roaming dogs (Canis familiaris) may be viewed positively or negatively within their communities. Negative aspects of the presence of free-roaming dogs include noise, fouling, disease transmission, dog-bite injuries, road traffic accidents and potential hybridisation with endangered wildlife species. Due to these concerns, control of free-roaming dog populations may be required. Surgical sterilisation of free-roaming dogs through the implementation of ‘trap-neuter-return’ (TNR), initiatives is often recommended as a welfare-friendly method of dog population control. Welfare assessments in TNR are often absent. Where they do exist they may rely upon proxy assessment, or be limited to relatively few measures of health status. As a result, there is a paucity of literature regarding the welfare impacts of surgical control of canine populations despite this practice often being promoted for animal welfare reasons. We outline the primary welfare issues associated with surgical population control of free-roaming dogs, suggest steps that may be taken to mitigate these problems and discuss barriers to improving dog welfare in TNR. Many opportunities for welfare problems exist within the spectrum of surgical TNR initiatives. We recommend that further research is needed to set appropriate standards for surgical approaches to free-roaming dog population management.
The effect of age and method of gas delivery on carbon dioxide euthanasia of pigs
Authors: Sutherland MA , Bryer PJ , Backus BL 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe objectives of this research were to evaluate the effect of age and delivering method during carbon dioxide (CO2) euthanasia on the welfare of pigs (Sus scrofa). In Experiment 1, pigs aged 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 weeks (GRAD; n = 5 pigs per age) were placed in a chamber gradually filled with CO2released at a flow rate of 20% chamber volume per min. In Experiment 2, three week old pigs were placed in a chamber pre-filled with 100% CO2(PRE; n = 5). In both experiments, plasma cortisol concentrations were measured before and after exposure to CO2. Behaviours indicative of stress and insensibility were recorded continuously during gas exposure; panting, open-mouth breathing, righting response, escape attempts, loss of posture, muscular excitation and respiratory arrest. Cortisol concentrations were elevated in pigs after CO2euthanasia, regardless of age or gas delivery method. The behavioural response to CO2was not affected by pig age. Latency to display panting, righting response, escape attempts, loss of posture, muscular excitation and respiratory arrest were shorter for PRE than GRAD pigs, but, duration of escape attempts and the cortisol response to euthanasia were similar between PRE and GRAD pigs. However, pigs placed in a chamber pre-filled with CO2spent a greater proportion of time prior to loss of posture displaying escape attempts. Regardless of age or induction method, exposure to CO2causes behavioural changes indicative of stress prior to loss of consciousness, therefore there is a need to continue to evaluate alternative methods of euthanasia.
The compatibility of modern slaughter techniques with halal slaughter: a review of the aspects of ‘modern’ slaughter methods that divide scholarly opinion within the Muslim community
Authors: Fuseini A , Wotton SB , Hadley PJ , Knowles TG 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe continuous expansion of the global halal meat market has attracted interest from governments, food business operators and the animal and meat science research fraternity. Despite this growing trend, and the enormous economic benefits associated with it, there is a lack of clarity regarding what is ‘authentic’ halal. Many Islamic jurists are reluctant to approve animal slaughter methods that were not practiced at the time of the Prophet of Islam, Mohammed. Others insist that since Islam holds animal welfare in high regard, any modern method of slaughter that is shown to improve animal welfare without compromising on the basic requirements of halal slaughter can be approved for halal production. This paper highlights the aspects of modern slaughter that continues to divide scholarly opinion among Islamic jurists. It also examines the arguments put forward by opponents and proponents regarding the acceptability of modern slaughter techniques for halal slaughter.
Implementation of the European legislation to protect farm animals: a case study on French inspections to find solutions to improve compliance
Authors: Lomellini-Dereclenne AC , Miele M , Mounier L , Veissier I 
Published: July 2017

AbstractIn the European Union, at least 1% of farms are inspected every year and sanctions are applied to those that do not comply with the legislation on animal welfare. These on-farm inspections can result in measures to correct welfare problems detected. They can also highlight major risks that will require a focus of efforts and help prevent further non-compliances. Here, we analysed the reports from inspections of French cattle farms between 2010 and 2013 to check whether inspection stimulates improvement and to propose ways to improve how animal welfare legislation is implemented through the cross-compliance system. French inspectors use 32 items to assess overall compliance of farms inspected. We found that compliance improves on farms that are re-inspected but not in other farms (8% of severely non-compliant farms). Nine items do not influence the overall assessment whereas eight have a huge impact. The importance attributed to items varies from the first to the second visit to a farm. The major risks are absence of farm records, lack of basic care (practices or enclosures likely to harm animals, insufficient feeding) and inadequate skills (no veterinarian consulted, insufficient qualified staff). To improve compliance with EU animal welfare legislation and the efficiency of the inspection system, we suggest organising consultation between inspectors, ministry central services and welfare experts to: (i) refine the checklist and harmonise interpretations of item compliance; (ii) make sure all farmers are aware of the legislative requirements and the major risks of non-compliance; and (iii) define plans for a step-wise improvement of non-compliant farms.
