Background: In 2011, the World Health Organization recognized podoconiosis as one of the neglected tropical diseases. Nonetheless, the number of people with podoconiosis and the geographical distribution of the disease is poorly understood. Based on a nationwide mapping survey and geostatistical modelling, we predict the prevalence of podoconiosis and estimate the number of cases across Ethiopia. Methods: We used nationwide data collected in Ethiopia between 2008 and 2013. Data were available for 141,238 individuals from 1,442 villages in 775 districts from all nine regional states and two city administrations. We developed a geostatistical model of podoconiosis prevalence among adults (individuals aged 15 years or above), by combining environmental factors. The number of people with podoconiosis was then estimated using a gridded map of adult population density for 2015. Results: Podoconiosis is endemic in 345 districts in Ethiopia: 144 in Oromia, 128 in Southern Nations, Nationalities and People’s [SNNP], 64 in Amhara, 4 in Benishangul Gumuz, 4 in Tigray and 1 in Somali Regional State. Nationally, our estimates suggest that 1,537,963 adults (95% confidence intervals, 290,923-4,577,031 adults) were living with podoconiosis in 2015. Three regions (SNNP, Oromia and Amhara) contributed 99% of the cases. The highest proportion of individuals with podoconiosis resided in the SNNP (39%), while 32% and 29% of people with podoconiosis resided in Oromia and Amhara Regional States, respectively. Tigray and Benishangul Gumuz Regional States bore lower burdens, and in the remaining regions, podoconiosis was almost non-existent. Discussion: The estimates of podoconiosis cases presented here based upon the combination of currently available epidemiological data and a robust modelling approach clearly show that podoconiosis is highly endemic in Ethiopia. Given the presence of low cost prevention, and morbidity management and disability prevention services, it is our collective responsibility to scale-up interventions rapidly.

The well-known discrete abrasive discs are characterized by a high vibration level of the technological system that causes the geometrical characteristics degradation of surfaces ground, life and technological equipment decrease and tool quick wear. New methods of the high-frequency discretization of a cutting surface with the use of a laser beam and a hydro-abrasive jet and also designs of grinding tools decreasing a vibration level of the technological system are developed.
The processes of the high-frequency discretization of grinding discs are improved experimentally: the path of a high-concentrated energy flow motion is substantiated, the modes of hole cutting out in abrasive of a tool and a field of the application of a laser beam and a high-pressure hydro-abrasive jet are defined.
Recognising the signs and symptoms of Lyme disease
Authors: Pearson Sandra 
Published: September 2017

Lyme disease, which is a tick-borne bacterial infection, is becoming increasingly common and early recognition depends on awareness of the risk factors and early symptoms. Prompt effective tick removal is key to primary prevention, and early antibiotic treatment is essential for improving treatment outcomes. Late-stage Lyme disease in the UK generally causes neurological problems, with relapsing remitting pain and fatigue, and may be associated with a significant degree of disability for both adults and children. Increased awareness, research to clarify the scale of the problem in the UK, and improved diagnostics and treatment are urgently needed. Borreliosis is a bacterial zoonitic infection that is found mainly in the northern hemisphere. Its incidence is increasing, but it can be difficult to spot. Sandra Pearson advises on how to identify the early signs to ensure prompt treatment and avoid potential neurological problems

Published: September 2017

Using health check data gathered from a single London borough, Kate Wilkinson, Elizabeth Sarah Bryant and Katrina Heal evaluate risk factors in the population including obesity, cardiovascular disease and alcohol dependency The aim of the study was to evaluate health check data from an inner London borough. Haringey have taken a unique approach to NHS health checks, pairing up with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation (THF) to offer the health checks outside of traditional GP surgeries. Between March 2014 and July 2015, 3000 health checks were carried out by the THF community health check practitioner at 25 locations in the east of the Borough. The whole group data (n=2254) were analysed, comprising of 23.4% females (50.2±8.0 years) and 76.6% males (49.4±8.0 years). Alcohol consumption in males was significantly greater in the underweight compared to all other BMI groups. The underweight/normal BMI groups had significantly lower total cholesterol levels than the overweight/obese. Blood glucose levels were significantly lower in the underweight compared to overweight/obese. QRISK2 score was significantly lower in normal and underweight compared to overweight/obese males. Blood glucose levels and QRISK2 were significantly greater in the inactive/moderately inactive groups compared to the active groups. Interventions must be sought to address diet and activity in the borough, particularly in the 40–60-year-old age group. Females and the underweight should not be forgotten.

Purpose Treatment of idiopathic clubfoot with the Ponseti method is now standard, but predicting relapse can be difficult. Most experts recommend bracing to the age of four years, but this can be challenging for families, and may not be necessary in all patients. The purpose of this study is to compare patterns of bracing and age of relapse to help determine if predictable patterns exist. Methods The 70 patients with idiopathic clubfoot treated initially with the Ponseti technique who had relapse of their clubfoot were identified. Relapse was defined as a return to casting or surgery due to recurrent deformity. Data collected included demographics, treatment and brace adherence. Patients who sustained initial relapse before the age of two years were compared with those who sustained initial relapse after the age of two years. Results In total 56% (39/70) had their initial relapse prior to age two years while 44% (31/70) were after age two years. Of the patients who relapsed prior to the age of two years, 28% (11/39) were adherent with bracing while 72% were non-­adherent. For patients who initially relapsed after age two, 74% (23/31) were adherent with bracing while 26% were non-adherent (p < 0.001). Of those who had initial ­relapse ­prior to age two, a subsequent relapse was seen in 69% (27/39). Conclusion Patients with idiopathic clubfoot who experienced recurrence prior to age two years are significantly more likely to be non-adherent with bracing than those who sustain recurrence after age two. After initial relapse prior to age two, bracing adherence does not affect likelihood of subsequent recurrence.
Modifying the Electronic Health Record to Facilitate the Implementation and
Evaluation of a Bundled Care Program for Intensive Care Unit Delirium

Published: September 2017

Context: Electronic health records (EHRs) have been promoted as a key driver of
improved patient care and outcomes and as an essential component of learning health
systems. However, to date, many EHRs are not optimized to support delivery of quality
and safety initiatives, particularly in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Delirium is a
common and severe problem for ICU patients that may be prevented or mitigated through
the use of evidence-based care processes (daily awakening and breathing trials, formal
delirium screening, and early mobility—collectively known as the “ABCDE bundle”). This
case study describes how an integrated health care delivery system modified its
inpatient EHR to accelerate the implementation and evaluation of ABCDE bundle deployment
as a safety and quality initiative.Case Description: In order to facilitate uptake of
the ABCDE bundle and measure delivery of the care processes within the bundle, we worked
with clinical and technical experts to create structured data fields for documentation
of bundle elements and to identify where these fields should be placed within the EHR to
streamline staff workflow. We created an “ABCDE” tab in the existing patient viewer that
allowed providers to easily identify which components of the bundle the patient had and
had not received. We examined the percentage of ABCDE bundle elements captured in these
structured data fields over time to track compliance with data entry procedures and to
improve documentation of care processes.Major Themes: Modifying the EHR to support ABCDE
bundle deployment was a complex and time-consuming process. We found that it was
critical to gain buy-in from senior leadership on the importance of the ABCDE bundle to
secure information technology (IT) resources, understand the different workflows of
members of multidisciplinary care teams, and obtain continuous feedback from staff on
the EHR revisions during the development cycle. We also observed that it was essential
to provide ongoing training to staff on proper use of the new EHR documentation fields.
Lastly, timely reporting on ABCDE bundle performance may be essential to improved
practice adoption and documentation of care processes.Conclusion: The creation of
learning health systems is contingent on an ability to modify EHRs to meet emerging care
delivery and quality improvement needs. Although this study focuses on the prevention
and mitigation of delirium in ICUs, our process for identifying key data elements and
making modifications to the EHR, as well as the lessons learned from the IT components
of this program, are generalizable to other health care settings and
conditions.

The aim of this research was to know the coral reef condition in Sempu’s strait. This research has beeb conducted at December 2017 used PIT method in four research stations i.e. Teluk Semut 1, Teluk Semut 2, Watu Meja and Fish Apartement. In generally the substrate of Sempu strait was devided into two categories, they were living and non-living substrate. Living substrate include HC, SC, NIA, SP and OT while non-living were RKC, RC, RB, SD and SI. Station 1 was dominated by hard coral (33.75%), station 2 and 3 was by rock (59.38% and 40.63%), and station 4 was dominated by sand (39.38%) respectively. Based on the monitoring, the coral reefs ecosystem of Sempu Strait was categorised in damaged condition. It could be seen by the high covering of dead coral and the low covering of healthy coral along observed stations. The coral reefs rehabilitation program is needed to recover the reefs ecosystem in Sempu Strait.

Still putting on the style: Older men’s ‘fashion narratives’
Authors: Goode Jackie 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
In a context in which men’s relationships to dress, fashion and style is only just beginning to receive serious academic attention, this article presents the findings of a small-scale qualitative study in which older men’s ‘fashion narratives’ were collected via in-depth interviews and photographs. It is sometimes assumed that older people are uninterested in engaging with fashion and that this is especially so for men. Twigg, for example, suggests that what is more significant for older men is the attraction not of new, but old clothes and of established forms of dress that leaves the individual free not to engage with the realm of consumption; and that such disengagement explains a conservatism underlying the dress of the old, where the changes of the fashion cycle have ceased to exert their cultural pull. The participants in this study contravened this assumption. Their stories reveal the intimate relationship between fashion, style and the construction of identity, in particular, components of individualism which, despite a narrower clothing ‘menu’ than that available to women, is carried through into older age.
‘Mom might have a job (or be socializing too much!)’ – ‘The right to love’, children’s sexuality and parenthood
Authors: Björklund Elisabet 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Having been unavailable for many years, the Swedish film Rätten att älska (‘The right to love’) was restored by the Swedish Film Institute in 2013 and made accessible for research. In many ways a typical example of the sex education film genre of its time, the film is simultaneously unusual because it deals with children’s sexuality. This article explores and discusses the representation of children in the film in relation to how it connects to issues of parenthood.
Vietnam in transmission: Documentary film and solidarity programming in Swedish broadcasting culture (1967–72)
Authors: Wahlberg Malin 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
A case study of the Swedish and transnational context of film, media activism and public broadcasting culture in the late 1960s and early 1970s, this article suggests a reassessment of the ‘solidarity film’ as a TV genre in the era of the Vietnam War. In 1969-70, in the two public channels of Swedish Television, the anti-war narrative would typically appear as a compilation of activist footage in obvious sympathy with the Vietnamese National Liberation Front, or as the reporter’s first-person impressions of everyday life and the traces of war in North Vietnamese villages. The activist material of the former and the subjective perspective of the latter provoked a heated media debate in Sweden, where journalists contested the simplistic and naïve feature of ‘documentary’ narratives, where activists deplored the cautious position of public TV producers, and where programme material was frequently criticized as either politically biased or visually offensive to the TV audience. Images of protest and a Swedish production history of ‘solidarity programming’ illuminate the paradoxical interrelations between the Vietnam movement and the negotiation of radical content in public television, particularly during the years 1967-72.
Performing Astronautics: Following the body’s natural edge to the abyss of space
Authors: Pell Sarah Jane 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
For the earth-bound artist, simply imagining having an extended microgravity experience and orbital perspective is a delicious phantasmagorical feat, but the chance to embrace the astronaut 2.0 of the commercial spaceflight era is fast becoming a reality (Armstrong 2014: 131). As a live artist I have gained valuable insights by working as a commercial diver and simulation astronaut, and I am now training for suborbital flight (Pothier 2014: 121). The aim of my body of work is to develop effective research strands and successful partnerships that will address the urgent need for knowledge of changes in human expression caused and inspired by these extreme environmental interactions. The underexplored bodily transformation beyond the impact of the Earth’s environment inspires new directions in my work from sea, to summit, to space. Performing Astronautics (2017–18) builds on my ongoing experimental and emerging aquatic arts practice (Pell 2014: 98). Its ambition is to first address the challenge of translating first-person tacit knowledge embedded in the astronautic body (Garan 2015) and connecting this with existing theoretical understandings of space-based embodiment from an Earth-based logic (Pell and Mueller 2016) (grounded, pedestrian, linear) and sea-based sensitivity (buoyant, hydrous, flowing) (Pothier 2014: 123) and then, by connecting performing arts practice with astronautics, externalizing how space impacts the human body/mind cadence to alter motion, rhythm, and perception of time/place spatiality in new ways. The opportunity to harness the oftenintangible qualities of microgravity experience into an Earthly practice proposes to start to build somatic or corporeal literacy of the environmental impact of outer space on contemporary performance. New strategies for space adaptation, greater opportunities for personal expression and degrees of freedom, and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer for future mission performance may also arise.

RESUMO A piscicultura continental tem apresentado significativo crescimento, no Brasil. O cultivo de tilápias envolve sistemas intensivos e diferentes estratégias, o que pode causar estresse dos peixes e prejuízos econômicos, devido a presença de vários agentes patogênicos. Nesse contexto as variáveis hematológicas são utilizadas como ferramentas de diagnóstico. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi identificar a fauna parasitária e as características hematológicas de tilápias cultivadas na região do Baixo Sul-Bahia. As tilápias (30 de cultivos em tanque-rede e 30 de viveiro escavado), aparentemente saudáveis e sem lesões, foram submetidas as análises de sangue e exame parasitológico de raspado de muco e brânquias, bem como, análises de água. Durante o período da pesquisa, a qualidade da água, do cultivo em Graciosa e Jaguaripe não diferiram significativamente (p>0,05). Comprimento, volume globular e proteína plasmática total não apresentaram diferença significativa. Por outro lado, peso e número de eritrócitos apresentaram diferença (p<0,05). Foram encontrados 43,3% de peixes parasitados com monogenoide em Jaguaripe e 73,3% de peixes parasitados com Piscinodinium, em Graciosa. Devido a alta ocorrência parasitária, outros estudos devem ser realizados, pois existe a possibilidade de prejuízos econômicos relevantes. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Peixe, Parasito, Estresse, Saúde
