Assessment of penetration of dorsal screws after fixation of the distal radius using ultrasound: cadaveric study
Authors: Williams D , Singh J , Heidari N , Ahmad M , Noorani A , Di Mascio L 
Published: January 2016

Introduction Volar locking plates are used to treat unstable and displaced fractures of the distal radius. Potential advantages of stable anatomical reduction (eg early mobilisation) can be limited by penetration of dorsal screws, leading to synovitis and potential rupture of extensor tendons. Despite intraoperative imaging, penetration of dorsal screws continues to be a problem in volar plating of the distal radius. Ultrasound is a well recognised, readily available, diagnostic tool used to assess soft-tissue impingement by orthopaedic hardware. In this cadaveric study, we wished to ascertain the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound for identification of protrusion of dorsal screws after volar plating of the distal radius. Methods Four adult, unpaired phenol-embalmed cadaveric distal radii were used. A VariAx™ Distal Radius Volar Locking Plate system (Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) was employed for instrumented fixation. A portable SIUI CTS 900 ultrasound machine (Providian Medical, Eastlake, OH, USA) was used to image the dorsal cortex to ascertain screw penetration. Results Specificity and sensitivity of ultrasound for detection of screw protrusion through the dorsal cortex was 100%. Conclusions Ultrasound was found to be a safe and accurate method for assessment of dorsal-screw penetration through the dorsal cortex of the radius after volar plating of the distal radius. It also aids diagnosis of associated tendon disorders (eg tenosynovitis) that might cause pain and limit wrist function.
Best practices for scholarly authors in the age of predatory journals
Authors: Beall J 
Published: January 2016

‘Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to understanding our potential.’ Margaret J Wheatley The focus of any academic or research author is to share his or her findings, and to gain respect and reward for publishing. The ideal journal is one that not only publishes an article quickly but also helps the author to improve the article before publication through peer review, selects only the best research so that the author’s article lies alongside other high quality articles, and provides maximum (and long-term) visibility and access to the article. Unfortunately, in the real world, authors need to make tradeoffs between high quality journals, those that work quickly, those that are willing to accept the article and those that provide the best access. Into this mix has come the potential of open access as a means of increasing visibility: journals publish the article without a subscription barrier so anyone, anywhere, can read the article. However, the growth of open access (pushed by institutions, grant bodies and governments as a means of improving human health and knowledge) has come with some unforeseen consequences. In this article, Jeffrey Beall discusses one recent phenomenon that has arisen from the open access movement: that of ‘predatory publishers’. These are individuals or companies that use the open access financial system (author pays, rather than library subscribes) to defraud authors and readers by promising reputable publishing platforms but delivering nothing of the sort. They frequently have imaginary editorial boards, do not operate any peer review or quality control, are unclear about payment requirements and opaque about ownership or location, include plagiarised content and publish whatever somebody will pay them to publish. Predatory publishers generally make false promises to authors and behave unethically. They also undermine the scholarly information and publishing environment with a deluge of poor quality, unchecked and invalidated articles often published on temporary sites, thus losing the scholarly record. Jeffrey Beall, a librarian in Denver, US, has watched the rise of such fraudulent practice, and manages a blog site that names publishers and journals that he has identified as predatory. While Beall’s lists can provide librarians and knowledgeable authors with information on which journals and publishers to be cautious about, several legitimate publishers, library groups and others have joined forces to educate and inform authors in what to look for when selecting journals to publish in (or read). This initiative, called Think. Check. Submit. (http://thinkchecksubmit.org/), was launched in the latter half of 2015 and hopes to raise awareness of disreputable journals while clearly separating them from valid, high quality, open access journals (of which there are many).

Authors: Naumann DN , Zaman S , Daskalakis M , Nijjar R , Richardson M , Super P , Singhal R 
Published: January 2016

Introduction Laparoscopic Heller’s myotomy (LHM) is the most effective therapy for achalasia of the oesophagus. Most case series of LHM report a length of hospital stay (LOS) >1 day. We present 14 years of experience of LHM to examine the safety and feasibility of LHM as a day case procedure. Methods We retrospectively examined patients undergoing elective LHM for achalasia at our institution between 2000 and 2014. Demographics, episode statistics, prior investigations and interventions were collated. Outcomes, including LOS, complications and re-interventions, were compared for the periods before and after a consensus decision at our institution in 2008 to perform LHM as a day case procedure. Results Sixty patients with a mean age of 41±13 years were included, of whom 58% were male. The median LOS for all patients was 1 day (interquartile range [IQR] 0–2.25). Overall, LHM was performed as a day case in 27 (45%) cases, at 2/26 (7.7%) in the first period versus 25/34 (73.5%) in the second (p<0.01). There were no significant differences in age, gender or previous interventions between day surgery and non-day surgery groups. One patient required subsequent unplanned surgery, while six (10%) needed endoscopic treatment of recurrent symptoms within 12 months. Conclusions LHM can be performed safely as a day case procedure. Complication rates are low, with only a small proportion of patients requiring endoscopic treatment for symptom recurrence within 1 year.

Interview with Tania Bruguera
Authors: Wallis Jonathan 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
In late December 2014, the artist Tania Bruguera was arrested after attempting to carry out an unsanctioned performance centred on freedom of speech in Revolution Square, Havana, Cuba. She was released after three days but held in the country indefinitely until a decision regarding legal action by the government was determined. In the weeks and months that followed, Bruguera dealt with legal issues and additional arrests, diplomatic contestations surrounding her confiscated passport, along with interrogations and intimidation by the Cuban government. It was not until July 2015 that her passport was returned. In mid-August, with a letter securing her diplomatic status as a Cuban citizen in hand, she returned to the United States. Due to her detention, Bruguera participated remotely as a speaker at the College Art Association session, The Ethics of Social Practice, reading a paper through a cellphone on Arte Útil and Aest-ethics (taken, along with other belongings by the Cuban authorities). I invited her to revisit her position on ethics and Arte Útil, and her work generally, in the form of an interview for this journal, to which she graciously agreed.
Care for care: Studio REV-’s strategies of engagement

Published: January 2016

Abstract
The artists at Studio REV-, along with their allies in the broader non-profit sector, address domestic workers’ rights in the United States. As a social practice art project, NannyVan works to improve how information about domestic rights is disseminated to these workers, whether nannies, elder caregivers or others. As part of a larger project named CareForce, the NannyVan project shows an ethics of care by using design traces as tactics and transversal methods as strategies.
Everybody lies: The ethics of social practice
Authors: Hutchinson Mark 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Whilst ideas of ‘morality’ and ‘ethics’ are used almost interchangeably in everyday conversation, this article seeks to make a clear distinction between them: morality is about social interaction whilst ethics is about fidelity to a truth. This distinction is used to inform questions around social practice. The temptation for social practice is to justify itself in terms of morality: the pragmatic difference it makes in the public sphere by way of its virtuous interventions. The downfall of this temptation is that it can lead, in fact, to a depoliticization of art. It is my contention that politics proper (in art, as elsewhere) is about radical change rather than manoeuvring within the bounds of what already exist. This is the register of the ethical.

A contribution to the schizoanalysis of indifference
Authors: Bradley Joff P.N. 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Utilizing Félix Guattari’s ecosophical ideas, the media critiques of Bernard Stiegler and Franco Berardi and the neuro-philosophy of Catherine Malabou, I shall examine and describe the case of hikikomori or social recluse in Japan as a striking excrescent effect of the media’s collusion in engineering sad affects. With reference to post-Fukushima Japan, and through the prism of contemporary literature, manga, anime and film, this article tests the propensity for loneliness among youth and how the media is complicit in crushing subjectivity through the veneer of ‘connection’.
User-generated videos of urban exploration and the production of affective space
Authors: Greenwalt Dustin A. 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
This article posits that user-generated videos have the potential to modulate affective maps of, or the aggregation of our intensive dispositions towards, urban areas. It argues that bodily topologies, which reside in our neurological substrates, are the primary source of our cognitive understandings of space and that user-generated videos have the capacity to affect these maps through their circulation of multisensory rhetorics. Taken together, these videos’ tendency to obscure their images’ photo-realistic qualities and to provide visual and sonic sensations disrupt the potential for identification and encourage haptic modes of viewing that work primarily at the level of the virtual. As a case study, this article engages videos produced by self-styled urban explorers that provide tours of abandoned buildings in Detroit, Michigan. These videos, it argues, work through lighting, unsteady cameras, sound, image durations, and movement through space, to imbue the buildings with kinetic energies that may modulate audiences’ dispositions towards the Motor City.
‘Shariah don’t like it ...?’ Punk and religion in Indonesia
Authors: Donaghey Jim 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Indonesia boasts one of the largest and most vibrant punk scenes on the planet today. It is also home to world’s largest Muslim population. Punk and religion are usually found in antagonism with one another, but the situation is far more complicated in Indonesia. Using interview and participant-observation material gathered in September/October 2012 and January 2015, this article examines the relationships between punk and religion in Indonesia, finding it markedly different to the oppositional relationship expected elsewhere in the world. Despite the fact that repression of punk in Indonesia is often religiously motivated, most of the interviewees still maintained a Muslim religious (or at least cultural-religious) identity. Those punks who did profess atheism were doing so against a very different social backdrop to their comrades in more secular parts of the world, and were making a much more significant stand in doing so.
Punk and religion in the Republic of Ireland, 1977–1981
Authors: Murphy Michael Mary 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
How did the early punk rock movement challenge the values of the dominant Catholic Church in the Republic of Ireland? How did young people reconcile the apparently opposed beliefs of some punk groups and the Irish clergy? This article explores the complex and often surprising ways in which the Church and punk interacted with each other in the 1977–1981 period.
The anarchist, the punk rocker and the Buddha walk into a bar(n): Dharma Punx and Rebel Dharma
Authors: Stewart Francis 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Punk rock is known for its frenetic energy. Its aggressive, anger-driven music is born from the seething cauldron of discontent. Anarchism is the ‘ideology’ that often underpins punk, but anarchism exists beyond punk in its drive to create a new social order fuelled by discontent at the current systems. There exists a large self-identifying anarchist group within the wider punk subculture, but it is only one group within a myriad of understandings of punk. Not all anarchists are punks; not all punks are anarchists. On first glance, Buddhism, as an ancient practice of mindfulness intended to lead the individual into an awareness of the nature of being through calming activities such as meditation, appears incongruous with anarchism and punk. However, a shift away from understanding Buddhism as a religion and an examination of the purposes behind Buddhism, punk and anarchy reveal a synchronicity. This has culminated in the creation of groups such as the Dharma Punx (US) and the Rebel Dharma (UK), which this article will explore and outline.
Pay no more than 45 copies: The collection legacy of the Crass Record, Reality Asylum (1979)
Authors: Gordon Alastair 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
This article sets out an auto-ethnographic and theoretical account of the journey of 45 collected author copies of the 1979 Crass Record Reality Asylum. The principle aim in this piece is to document and theoretically situate the production, reception and individual journeys various pressing variations of the record have encountered. The theoretical account is concerned with how and what ways various traditions in semiotics, fan/audience research, critical theory and Derrida’s concept of Hauntology can be deployed in explanatory terms to account for the enigmatic, haunted journey of the recorded musical artefact. The article also captures this collection prior to public display, prior to them being resold as the collectable sixth, ‘haunted’ pressing of the record.
Postsecular punk: Evangelical Christianity and the overlapping consensus of the underground
Authors: Abraham Ibrahim 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Utilizing interviews and fieldwork with Evangelical Christians involved in the punk scenes of Australia, Britain, South Africa and the United States, this article brings the study of the punk subculture into dialogue with key political theorists of the regulation of religiously diverse societies. Focusing on the work of the late American political philosopher John Rawls, furnished with more recent work by Jürgen Habermas, this article examines the processes of negotiated inclusion undertaken by Evangelical Christians in local punk scenes. Closely analyzing the acceptance of the contestability of religious claims, ‘translation’ between religious and secular discourses and modalities, and an ‘overlapping consensus’ on the desirability of diversity within the punk scene, it is argued that the negotiated inclusion of religiously diverse social actors in punk scenes can inform ongoing debates about diversity and inclusion in punk scenes’ ‘postsecular’ parent societies.
Educação infantil e avaliação escolar: experiências das crianças com a linguagem
Authors: Almeida Renata Provetti Weffort 
Published: January 2016

O presente texto tem como objetivo descrever e analisar as experiências das crianças com a linguagem, por meio das avalições escolares. Os dados apresentados são parte de tese de doutorado defendida no ano de 2014. A investigação foi realizada por meio da análise das avaliações das crianças de duas escolas, uma pública e uma privada. Em cada uma das escolas pesquisadas foram selecionadas duas salas de aula, perfazendo um total de quatro salas. Nas duas escolas foram coletados e analisados os instrumentos que envolvem o processo de avaliação das crianças. A perspectiva teórica tem como referência os estudos dos pensadores da teoria crítica da sociedade, sobretudo os que tratam da formação e experiência. Tais conceitos contribuem para a compreensão dos processos pelos quais ocorre a formação do indivíduo – neste caso a formação das crianças – e as possibilidades
de experiência oferecidas pela escola. Em linhas gerais, a conclusão da presente pesquisa é a de que, tendencialmente, as avaliações expressam uma perspectiva padronizada e predeterminada do desenvolvimento das crianças, em detrimento da possibilidade de experiências formativas que visem à reflexão e à formação. Desse modo, as atividades realizadas pelas crianças, mediadas pelos professores, pontam para o empobrecimento da experiência com a linguagem, pela redução do repertório linguístico, devido à priorização da realização de sondagens de escrita.
Damages Identification in the Cantilever-based on the Parameters of the Natural Oscillations
Authors: Cherpakov A. V. , Soloviev A. N. , Gritsenko V. V. , Goncharov O. U. 
Published: January 2016

<p>An approach to parametric identification of damages such as cracks in the rod cantilever construction is described. The identification method is based on analysis of shapes of the natural oscillations. The analytic modelling is performed in the Maple software on the base of the Euler-Bernoulli hypothesis. Crack is modelled by an elastic bending element. Transverse oscillations of the rod are considered. We take into account first four eigen modes of the oscillations. Parameters of amplitude, curvature and angle of bends of the waveforms are analysed. It was established that damage location is revealed by ‘kink’ on corresponding curves of the waveforms. The parameters of oscillation shapes are sensitive to the crack parameters in different degree. The novelty of the approach consists in that the identification procedure is divided into two stages: (a) it is determined the crack location, and (b) it is determined the crack size. Based on analytical modelling, an example of determination of dependence of the crack parameters on its size in the cantilever rod is presented. Study of features of the waveforms during identification of the fracture parameters shows that the features found in the form of ‘kinks’ and local extreme a of the angle between the tangent and curvature of waveforms for different modes of bending oscillations, define the crack location in cantilever. They can serve as one of diagnostic signs of crack identification and allow us to determine its location.</p><p><strong>Defence Science Journal, Vol. 66, No. 1, January 2016, pp. 44-50, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.66.8182</strong></p><p> </p>
How can Writing Tasks be Characterized in a way serving Pedagogical Goals and Automatic Analysis Needs?
Authors: Quixal Martí , Meurers Detmar 
Published: January 2016

The paper works out and addresses a central question in the field of Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning (ICALL): How can language learning tasks be conceptualized and made explicit in a way that supports the pedagogical goals in modern Foreign Language Teaching and Learning (FLTL) and at the same time provides an explicit characterization of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) requirements to provide feedback to learners completing those tasks? We argue that the successful implementation of language learning tasks to be automatically assessed by means of NLP-based feedback generation strategies demands a design process considering both pedagogical and computational requirements as equally important. Extending well-established work in Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and TBLT testing we propose a framework that helps us (i) elucidate the formal features of foreign language learning activities, (ii) characterize the gap between expected and actually elicited learner language, and (iii) assess how variability in learner responses impacts computational techniques for the automatic analysis of learner language. To validate our approach we apply our framework to two specific writing tasks for learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Our analysis highlights the relevance of spelling out the pedagogical and linguistic goals of language learning tasks in order to successfully characterize the language variation in learner responses needed to design effective pedagogical and NLP strategies.Given the combination of design- and data-driven perspectives, the framework supports an iterative approach to the creation of language learning tasks and ICALL materials.
Relationship of Competitiveness and Social Cohesion in the European Union

Published: January 2016

<p>The current study strives to present how the European Union changed its economic policy due to the economic and financial crises and the fierce global competition. The main emphasis was laid upon competitiveness on contrary of cohesion and social and economic close up of the newly joined Middle- and Eastern European countries. Funds serving the target of competitiveness for growth and employment are increased by 6-7% annually during the budget period 2007-2013 while agricultural spending decreases by 3% annually. The change of paradigm projects the two speed Europe concept and causes severe tensions between the core regions and the peripheries. </p>
