Understanding Controversies in Urban Climate Change Adaptation. A case study of the role of homeowners in the process of climate change adaptation in Copenhagen
Authors: Baron Nina , Petersen Lars Kjerulf 
Published: January 2017

This article explores the controversies that exist in urban climate change adaptation and how these controversies influence the role of homeowners in urban adaptation planning. A concrete ‘Sustainable Urban Drainages System’ (SUDS) project in a housing cooperative in Copenhagen has been used as a case study, thereby investigating multiple understandings of urban climate change adaptation. Several different perspectives are identified with regard to what are and what will become the main climate problems in the urban environment as well as what are considered to be the best responses to these problems. Building on the actor-network inspired theory of ‘urban green assemblages’ we argue that at least three different assemblages can be identified in urban climate change adaptation. Each assemblage constitutes and connects problems and responses differently and thereby involve homeowners in different ways. As climate change is a problem of unknown character and outcome in the future, we argue that it can be problematic if one way of constituting urban climate change adaptation becomes dominant, in which case some climate problems and adaptation options may become less influential, even though the enrolment of these could contribute to a more resilient city. Furthermore, the case study from Copenhagen also shows that the influence and involvement of homeowners might be reduced if the conception of future climate problems becomes too restricted. The result would be that the potential benefits of involving urban citizens in defining and responding to problems related to climate change would be lost.
Authoring Participation

Samsø, Denmark's Renewable Energy Island since 1997, is world renowned for being self-sufficient in renewable energy and for having achieved energy self-sufficiency and CO2 neutrality through successful processes of public participation. In this article I seek to show how these processes of public participation so central to the Renewable Energy Island project can be better understood as instances of material participation motivated first and foremost by a concern for the future of the island as a 'liveable' community; a community in which jobs and institutions are not constantly threatening to disappear. By turning to material participation, a concept inspired by Noortje Marres and Jennifer Gabrys, the efforts put into Samsø’s energy transformation by the islanders are given specificity. While much literature on public participation foregrounds public meetings and other spaces for deliberation and debate, material participation locates participation in everyday practice and work. On Samsø, the islanders’ participation was not an add-on to the project, it was an indispensable resource in itself. Building on extensive fieldwork I analyse how the islanders came to invest their time and resources in the Renewable Energy Island project, highlighting how, by materializing energy in concrete, local projects, energy and climate change-related projects can gain community-strengthening potentialities reaching beyond goals of energy self-sufficiency.

Culturen van letselschadeafwikkeling. Indrukken uit een vergelijkend onderzoek naar de wijze van afwikkeling van letselschades in Engeland, Noorwegen en Nederland
Onderzoek naar de wijze waarop letselschades worden afgewikkeld in Engeland, Noorwegen en Nederland brengt relevante verschillen in afwikkelingsculturen aan het licht. De Engelse wijze van afwikkeling is sterk gericht op afwikkeling in rechte en is vergaand vercommercialiseerd. De Noorse praktijk kenmerkt zich door een op sociale zekerheid gebaseerde afwikkelingscultuur buiten rechte, die in hoge mate is gebaseerd op onderling vertrouwen. De Nederlandse praktijk van schadeafwikkeling heeft met de Engelse gemeen dat zij vorm krijgt in een commerciële setting tegen de achtergrond van het civiele aansprakelijkheidsrecht. Met de Noorse praktijk heeft zij gemeen dat het proces van afwikkeling in hoge mate is gebaseerd op overleg buiten rechte en op onderling vertrouwen.

Wat is een behoorlijke verzekering in het kader van goed werkgeverschap?
De Hoge Raad heeft in 2011 voor werkgevers een behoorlijke verzekeringsplicht in het leven geroepen met betrekking tot de werknemers die zich tijdens de uitoefening van werkzaamheden in het verkeer bevinden. Wat wordt verstaan onder een behoorlijke verzekering? Om deze centrale vraag te onderzoeken zijn eerst aanknopingspunten gezocht in de jurisprudentie. Hierna zijn meerdere verzekeringspolissen onderzocht om te bezien wat een gangbare verzekeringspolis is. Het voornaamste onderzoeksresultaat is dat verzekeraars het Burgerlijk Wetboek van toepassing hebben verklaard. Enerzijds betekent dit in beginsel volledige schadevergoeding voor de werknemer, anderzijds betekent dit dat eventuele onduidelijkheden wat betreft de schadevergoeding aan de rechter worden overgelaten.

Schade door een ongeschikte medische hulpzaak ex artikel 6:77 BW: een rechtsvergelijking met Frankrijk en Duitsland
De aansprakelijkheidsregeling voor gebruikers van ongeschikte medische hulpzaken volgens artikel 6:77 BW heeft geleid tot rechtsonzekerheid en discussie. Om nieuwe inzichten te verkrijgen is het interessant om een rechtsvergelijking te maken met twee nabijgelegen landen die voor wat betreft het rechtssysteem en de juridisch-culturele ontwikkeling op Nederland lijken. In deze bijdrage is daarom onderzocht wie in Frankrijk en Duitsland door patiënten kunnen worden aangesproken, wat daar de tendensen in zijn en op welke manier het Nederlandse recht daar inspiratie aan kan ontlenen.

The role of religion for organ donation
This article analyzes the relationship between religiosity and organ donation, using unique Dutch register- and survey data of almost 400.000 individuals. One in four of the Dutch population ages 12 years and above is registered as an organ donor. Non-religious individuals are more likely to give permission for the transplantation of their organs than the religious. In particular, there are few organ donors among individuals who very frequently attend religious services. Furthermore, there are differences between religious denominations. Roman-Catholics are more often registered as an organ donor than Protestants, in particular among older generations. The proportion of organ donors is lowest among Muslims.
Over de esthetica van het recht

On the aesthetics of law. Tragedy and Christianity
Aesthetics of law entails a philosophical inquiry into the art and beauty of jurisprudence. In respect to this field of inquiry, Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy (1872) has been largely ignored. Since Socrates’ ‘emancipation’ of the apollonian from the Dionysian element, the art of politics and law, has been founded almost exclusively on logic and scientific knowledge. This tradition of nihilistic ‘socratism’, culminated eventually in legalism and legal positivism that have subdued the acknowledgement of life, subjectivity and creativity. In line with Nietzsche, this article explores the prospective of a ‘rebirth of tragedy’. But in difference to him, it designates this rebirth to develop from out of the spirit of Christianity and Christian existentialism. Paul Scholten in particular, is interpreted as one whose biblical personalist approach resounds this tragic sense of law.
Barmhartigheid in het publieke domein onder druk
Authors: Jespers Frans 
Published: January 2017

Mercy in public life under pressure
The authors establish that in the West mercy in public life, in particular as acts of judges and governors, underwent a wrongful decline. This decline is an effect of the tension between mercy and justice that grew during the transition of medieval, Christian into modern, secular law and justice. To prove this, the authors present a broad historical overview. Eventually, they argue in favour of an incidental application of mercy in public life, under strict conditions. However, in a secular society and law system mercy can be made acceptable only for the political and public debate. In this situation, an appeal to a more neutral sounding virtue such as compassion will be more convincing.

French Council of state and the burkini ban
The French state council ruled that the mayor of Villeneuve-Loubet did not have the right to ban burkinis. The court found that the anti-burkini decrees were “a serious and manifestly illegal attack on fundamental freedoms”, including the right to move around in public and the freedom of conscience. The judges stated that local authorities could only restrict individual liberties if there was a “proven risk” to public order. It ruled that a proven public order risk had not been demonstrated.
Tuber yield parameters in organic potato production with green manures as preceding crop, catch crop and with farmyard manure
Authors: Tsolmon Nyamdavaa , Jürgen Friedel K 
Published: January 2017

The effect of different preceding crops, catch crops and manure application on the agronomic performance of potato was studied in two consequential years in an organic farming system. Within the study the effect of three different preceding crops: viz. lucerne, field pea and spring barley; incorporated catch crops as green manure: non-legume or mixture; and farmyard manure (30 tones ha-1) are tested on subsequent potato yield and tuber size distribution. The catch crop treatments were studied in comparison to control bare fallow. The subsequent crop response to preceding crops was negligible since there was no indication of a greater tuber yields (fresh tuber, marketable and dry matter) after legume pre-crops compared to barley. Catch crops and manure effects both slightly increased tuber dry matter yield from 4.9 tones ha-1 to 5.2 tones ha-1 in 2010 only, on the contrary dry matter yield was not affected by catch crop and manure in 2011. The significant interaction effect was found between year and catch crop for fresh and dry matter tuber yield and non-standard small sized tubers. Catch crops had a positive effect on potato yield only in 2010 when mineral nitrogen availability was low. The catch crops significantly (P < 0.01) increased the percentage of large sized tubers (> 65 mm in diameter); however catch crops even negatively affected potato medium sized tuber yield and quality. Significant (P < 0.01) interaction effect was found between year and catch crop for small sized tubers, also.

Published: January 2017

Este trabalho está focado no estudo de um grupo de mulheres agricultoras no município de Otacílio Costa/SC, caracterizadas pela reprodução da sua ruralidade num cenário onde predominam atividades de reflorestamento com Pinus sp. Este grupo tem as suas estratégias voltadas para práticas agroecológicas e a realização de feiras de venda direta. Utilizou-se a abordagem teórica-metodológica de Pierre Bourdieu, através dos conceitos de habitus, capitais e de reprodução social. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se questionários semiestruturados, observação participante e impressões através de diálogos e acompanhamento de atividades. Observou-se uma condição de resistência decorrente de estratégias de recuperação de conhecimentos tradicionais, a partir de práticas culturais, numa perspectiva agroecológica. Essa resistência assume funcionalidade à manutenção da ruralidade, pois proporciona identidade sociocultural de agricultor agroecológico, acesso às políticas públicas e capital simbólico diante da comunidade.
A simple rat model of mild traumatic brain injury: a device to reproduce anatomical and neurological changes of mild traumatic brain injury
Authors: Kim Ho Jeong , Han Soo Jeong 
Published: January 2017

Mild traumatic brain injury typically involves temporary impairment of neurological function. Previous studies used water pressure or rotational injury for designing the device to make a rat a mild traumatic brain injury model. The objective of this study was to make a simple model of causing mild traumatic brain injury in rats. The device consisted of a free-fall impactor that was targeted onto the rat skull. The weight (175 g) was freely dropped 30 cm to rat’s skull bregma. We installed a safety device made of acrylic panel. To confirm a mild traumatic brain injury in 36 Sprague-Dawley rats, we performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain within 24 h after injury. We evaluated behavior and chemical changes in rats before and after mild traumatic brain injury. The brain MRI did not show high or low signal intensity in 34 rats. The mobility on grid floor was decreased after mild traumatic brain injury. The absolute number of foot-fault and foot-fault ratio were decreased after mild traumatic brain injury. However, the difference of the ratio was a less than absolute number of foot-fault. These results show that the device is capable of reproducing mild traumatic brain injury in rats. Our device can reduce the potential to cause brain hemorrhage and reflect the mechanism of real mild traumatic brain injury compared with existing methods and behaviors. This model can be useful in exploring physiology and management of mild traumatic brain injury.

Published: January 2017

BackgroundNew reliable devices for range of motion (ROM) measures in older adults are necessary to improve knowledge about the functional capability in this population. Dorsiflexion ROM limitation is associated with ankle injuries, foot pain, lower limb disorders, loss of balance, gait control disorders and fall risk in older adults. The aim of the present study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Leg Motion device for measuring ankle dorsiflexion ROM in older adults.MethodsAdescriptive repeated-measures study was designed to test the reliability of Leg Motion in thirty-three healthy elderly patients older than 65 years. The subjects had to meet the following inclusion and exclusion criteria in their medical records: older than 65 years; no lower extremity injury for at least one year prior to evaluation (meniscopathy, or fractures) and any chronic injuries (e.g., osteoarthritis); no previous hip, knee or ankle surgery; no neuropathic alterations and no cognitive conditions (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease or dementia). Participants were recruited through the person responsible for the physiotherapist area from a nursing center. The subjects were evaluated in two different sessions at the same time of day, and there was a break of two weeks between sessions. To test the validity of the Leg Motion system, the participants were measured in a weight-bearing lunge position using a classic goniometer with 1° increments, a smartphone with an inclinometer standard app (iPhone 5S®) with 1° increments and a measuring tape that could measure 0.1 cm. All testing was performed while the patients were barefoot. The researcher had ten years of experience as a physiotherapist using goniometer, tape measure and inclinometer devices.ResultsMean values and standard deviations were as follows: Leg Motion (right 5.15 ± 3.08; left 5.19 ± 2.98), tape measure (right 5.12 ± 3.08; left 5.12 ± 2.80), goniometer (right 45.87° ± 4.98; left 44.50° ± 5.54) and inclinometer app (right 46.53° ± 4.79; left 45.27° ± 5.19). The pairedt-test showed no significant differences between the limbs or between the test and re-test values. The test re-test reliability results for Leg Motion were as follows: the standard error of the measurement ranged from 0.29 to 0.43 cm, the minimal detectable difference ranged from 0.79 to 1.19 cm, and the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) values ranged from 0.97 to 0.98.ConclusionsThe results of the present study indicated that the Leg Motion device is a valid, reliable, accessible and portable tool as an alternative to the classic weight-bearing lunge test for measuring ankle dorsiflexion ROM in older adults.
Metabolic phenotype of clinical and environmentalMycobacterium aviumsubsp.hominissuisisolates
Authors: Sanchini Andrea , Dematheis Flavia , Semmler Torsten , Lewin Astrid 
Published: January 2017

BackgroundMycobacterium aviumsubsp.hominissuis(MAH) is an emerging opportunistic human pathogen. It can cause pulmonary infections, lymphadenitis and disseminated infections in immuno-compromised patients. In addition, MAH is widespread in the environment, since it has been isolated from water, soil or dust. In recent years, knowledge on MAH at the molecular level has increased substantially. In contrast, knowledge of the MAH metabolic phenotypes remains limited.MethodsIn this study, for the first time we analyzed the metabolic substrate utilization of ten MAH isolates, five from a clinical source and five from an environmental source. We used BIOLOG Phenotype MicroarrayTMtechnology for the analysis. This technology permits the rapid and global analysis of metabolic phenotypes.ResultsThe ten MAH isolates tested showed different metabolic patterns pointing to high intra-species diversity. Our MAH isolates preferred to use fatty acids such as Tween, caproic, butyric and propionic acid as a carbon source, and L-cysteine as a nitrogen source. Environmental MAH isolates resulted in being more metabolically active than clinical isolates, since the former metabolized more strongly butyric acid (p = 0.0209) and propionic acid (p = 0.00307).DiscussionOur study provides new insight into the metabolism of MAH. Understanding how bacteria utilize substrates during infection might help the developing of strategies to fight such infections.
Enteral administration of protein supplement and valproate: A potential pharmacokinetic interaction
Authors: VandenBerg Amy , Broadway Jessica 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Background: Valproic acid (VPA) and its derivatives are highly protein bound. Certain highly protein bound medications (eg, phenytoin) have specific administration instructions for patients on enteral nutrition supplements to optimize absorption of the medication. Pharmacokinetic interactions between VPA and enteral nutrition or protein supplements demonstrating impaired absorption have not been published to date.
Case Report: A patient receiving enteral VPA syrup via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube experienced a clinically significant decrease in serum concentration when enteral protein supplement was initiated. Other sources of interactions were ruled out, and VPA serum concentration increased when doses were separated from protein supplement by 2 hours.
Discussion: This is the first published case of enteral protein supplementation affecting absorption of enteral VPA. Enteral feeds are known to interact with other highly protein bound medications, and clinical practice for these medications may be used to guide administration when an interaction with VPA is suspected.
Conclusion: When using enteral protein supplements concomitantly with enteral VPA, clinicians may consider separating doses to avoid potential interaction or impaired absorption.
Valproate serum concentrations in patients with hypoalbuminemia and medical complications
Authors: VandenBerg Amy , Broadway Jessica , Lalich Callie , Kennedy Rachel , Williams Kristen 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Introduction: Valproic acid (VPA) and its derivatives are highly protein bound with free fraction increasing with dose and serum concentration. Consensus guidelines regarding dose adjustment for hypoalbuminemia are not available.
Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed to identify articles with the following key terms: “valproate,” “valproic acid,” “protein binding,” “albumin,” and “hypoalbuminemia.” We report our findings as well as 5 cases involving pharmacokinetic impact of hypoalbuminemia on valproate.
Results: A previously published model for normalizing VPA serum concentration for hypoalbuminemia in patients with epilepsy was compared to results for 5 cases (4 female, 1 male) in which VPA was used for psychiatric illness. Only 1 of the cases had free serum concentrations in the range that would be expected with the model. Free concentrations ranged from 22% to 83% with no clear relationship to other factors (weight, age, serum creatinine, or dose). Female patients with similar albumin had higher free fractions than the 1 male patient.
Discussion: Due to the variability in pharmacokinetic impact of hypoalbuminemia, it is important to monitor patients closely for signs of VPA toxicity in cases involving altered albumin levels. It would be prudent to use free serum VPA concentrations when patients experience fluctuations in albumin or have unexpected response to medication.
Ketamine for the treatment of major depressive disorder and bipolar depression: A review of the literature
Authors: Grady Sarah E. , Marsh Travis A. , Tenhouse Allison , Klein Kelsey 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Introduction: Over the past decade, ketamine has been studied for major depressive disorder and bipolar depression. Ketamine is believed to exert its antidepressant properties through N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonism.
Methods: Study authors completed a literature review of seven randomized controlled trials of ketamine usage in major depressive disorder and bipolar depression.
Results: Ketamine demonstrated a statistically significant improvement over placebo or midazolam in major depressive disorder. Ketamine also exhibited a statistically significant improvement over placebo in bipolar depression.
Discussion: Ketamine has shown promise in quickly reducing symptoms in patients with treatment resistant depression and bipolar depression. Using ketamine may be helpful for patients that have exhausted other therapeutic options.
Clinical potential of psilocybin as a treatment for mental health conditions
Authors: Daniel Jeremy , Haberman Margaret 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Psilocybin, a classic hallucinogen, is a chemical produced by more than 100 species of mushrooms worldwide. It has high affinity for several serotonin receptors, including 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C, located in numerous areas of the brain, including the cerebral cortex and thalamus. With legislation introduced in 1992, more work is being done to further understand the implications of psilocybin use in a number of disease states. Certain mental health disease states and symptoms have been studied, including depressed mood, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, alcohol use disorder, and tobacco use disorder. This article provides an in-depth review of the study design and results of psilocybin in each of these conditions and discusses the clinical potential for use.
