Hallucinations in borderline personality disorder and common mental disorders
Authors: Kelleher Ian , DeVylder Jordan E. 
Published: February 2017

SummaryHallucinations are classically associated with psychotic disorders. Recent research, however, has highlighted that hallucinations frequently occur outside of the context of psychosis. Despite this, to our knowledge, there has been no epidemiological research to compare the prevalence of hallucinations across common mental disorders with the prevalence in borderline personality disorder (BPD). Using data from the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (n = 7403), we investigated the prevalence of hallucinations in individuals with a range of mental disorders and BPD. Hallucinations were prevalent in all disorders (range 11–24%). Hallucinations were no more prevalent in individuals with BPD (13.7%) than in individuals with a (non-psychotic) mental disorder (12.6%) (χ2 = 0.03, P = 0.92).
The T cell IFT20 interactome reveals new players in immune synapse assembly
Authors: Galgano Donatella , Onnis Anna , Pappalardo Elisa , Galvagni Federico , Acuto Oreste , Baldari Cosima T. 
Published: February 2017

ABSTRACT
Sustained signalling at the immune synapse (IS) requires the synaptic delivery of recycling endosome-associated T cell antigen receptors (TCRs). IFT20, a component of the intraflagellar transport system, controls TCR recycling to the IS as a complex with IFT57 and IFT88. Here, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to identify additional interaction partners of IFT20 in Jurkat T cells. In addition to IFT57 and IFT88, the analysis revealed new binding partners, including IFT54 (also known as TRAF3IP1), GMAP-210 (also known as TRIP11), Arp2/3 complex subunit-3 (ARPC3), COP9 signalosome subunit-1 (CSN1, also known as GPS1) and ERGIC-53 (also known as LMAN1). A direct interaction between IFT20 and both IFT54 and GMAP-210 was confirmed in pulldown assays. Confocal imaging of antigen-specific conjugates using T cells depleted of these proteins by RNA interference showed that TCR accumulation and phosphotyrosine signalling at the IS were impaired in the absence of IFT54, ARPC3 or ERGIC-53. Similar to in IFT20-deficient T cells, this defect resulted from a reduced ability of endosomal TCRs to polarize to the IS despite a correct translocation of the centrosome towards the antigen-presenting cell contact. Our data underscore the traffic-related role of an IFT20 complex that includes components of the intracellular trafficking machinery in IS assembly.
Beijing Bucket Blues: ArtsCross/Danscross
Authors: De La Nieta Rachel Lopez 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
I had never visited Beijing or China before. This writing is an attempt to convey my experience of the creation of a new work with dancers from the Beijing Dance Academy and Taipei National University of the Arts, attendant translators and my partner and assistant Ben Ash, and takes in both the circumstances of the creation process per say within the context of the wider impact of the cultural shift. The view of China that I had as a performance maker prior to the journey, coupled with the transformation of this view by the given circumstances which in some ways were extreme in cultural difference, created a particular field of practice that impacted on the development of the work. An ability to facilitate nuanced conversation with performers is something I had taken for granted in my creative practice, and so with this sense of isolation and desire for connection I found myself assimilating these feelings and frustrations as well as the excitement I had in relation to my new circumstances into the resultant work performed.
Analysing body centre weight use by dancers in ArtsCross/Danscross
Authors: Yunyu Wang 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Using Laban Movement Analysis1 (LMA) methodologies, in particular the application of the two Weight Efforts, this article provides a comparative analysis of dancers from Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA), where the researcher is based, and dancers from the Beijing Dance Academy (BDA). The article focuses on the use of ‘body centre’ as conceived in LMA’s Effort Element, which is related to gravitational mechanisms. Through observation, it appeared that the training processes within each of these dance groups utilized different centres of weight and unique conceptions of individual space within the movement, despite both groups having a Chinese ethnic background and similar dance training styles in Contemporary Dance and traditional Chinese Dance. This insight is based on sustained observations of the rehearsal processes of these groups in the 2011 and 2012 editions of ArtsCross, as well as visits to classes at BDA during the three-week ArtsCross project held in Beijing, China in October and November of 2012. As a Certified Movement Analyst, with extensive experience in dance in both East Asia and in the United States, the researcher utilized LMA to understand how dancers from each country responded to the requests of choreographers through the intensive rehearsals and through to the final performance. The data provide significant pedagogical information relevant to the development of new programmes to be implemented within TNUA’s dance training regimen.
Looking at different cultural contexts in the contemporary dance of ArtsCross/Danscross
Authors: Xin Wang 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The ArtsCross/Danscross project aimed to build and strengthen artistic dialogue and interaction, understanding and communication among those from different cultural backgrounds. From observing and discussing nine choreographic processes, we discovered a problem: differences in the understanding of the term ‘contemporary dance’. This article discusses choreographic works from ArtsCross/Danscross, starting with views on and comparisons of Chinese and western contemporary dance. The article analyses the reasons for differences in the awareness of contemporary dance of people from different cultural backgrounds and thereby triggers reflections on the prospects for the development of dance in contemporary China.
feature article: Talent development and capacity building in small nations: On the twinning of filmmakers
Authors: Hjort Mette 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
In a small-nation film and media ecology, cogent thinking about capacity building is of critical importance. In the context of Danish documentary filmmaking, twinning has emerged as a promising model. Twinning engages Danish filmmakers with a world beyond Denmark, thereby counteracting certain parochialisms. At the same time, this model ties in with the Danish state’s development goals in the cultural domain, including the aim of fostering dialogue and understanding between Denmark and the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA region). This article evokes the landscape of twinning, as developed by Danish institutions, and provides a rationale for taking the phenomenon of transnationally paired practitioners seriously. More specifically, twinning is seen as a means of realizing public values through filmmaking. A specific instance of twinning involving collaboration between a Danish and a Lebanese filmmaker is discussed in detail, the aim being to identify the conditions under which the relevant type of co-authorship can be said to succeed. The emphasis in this regard is on the ways in which a partnership of equals emerges in the process of making the documentary En Araber kommer til byen (An Arab Comes to Town) (Larsen and Ghossein, 2008).

Published: February 2017

AbstractRecycling construction and demolition waste not only reduces project costs; and saves natural resources, but also solves the environmental threat caused by construction waste disposal. In this paper, C25 waste road concrete is used as an experimental material, the uniaxial compression strength and tensile splitting strength of C25 RAC whose coarse aggregate replacement rate is 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% are tested under the condition that the water-to-cement ratio is 0.47, 0.55 and 0.61. The results show: (1) the uniaxial compression strength and tensile splitting strength decrease with the increase of RAC; (2) for concrete with the same water-to-cement ratio, when the coarse aggregate replacement rate changes from 0% to 50%, the uniaxial compression strength and tensile splitting strength of RAC changes slightly. When the coarse aggregate replacement rate changes from 50% to 100%, the uniaxial compression strength and tensile splitting strength of RAC decreases rapidly.

Abstract
This introductory article serves two purposes. Firstly, it provides the background for the set of 11 articles that appear in the special issue of this journal and summarizes the articles along a number of dimensions. All the articles address aspects of multilingualism as subjectively experienced and they all make use of visual methodologies. Secondly, it subjects the articles to two meta-analyses. The first one compares and contrasts the studies by site: production, image and audiencing. The second one, in contrast, classifies the studies by the research strategy chosen by the researchers: looking, seeing or designing. The article concludes by pointing to future directions in research on multilingualism as lived, and suggests a visual turn.
Pattern recognition of enrichment levels of SELEX-based candidate aptamers for human C-reactive protein

Published: February 2017

Abstract
Selecting aptamers for human C-reactive protein (CRP) would be of critical importance in predicting the risk for cardiovascular disease. The enrichment level of DNA aptamers is an important parameter for selecting candidate aptamers for further affinity and specificity determination. This paper is the first report on pattern recognition used for CRP aptamer enrichment levels in the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) process, by applying structure-activity relationship models. After generating 10 rounds of graphene oxide (GO)-SELEX and 1670 molecular descriptors, eight molecular descriptors were selected and five latent variables were then obtained with principal component analysis (PCA), to develop a support vector classification (SVC) model. The SVC model (C=8.1728 and γ=0.2333) optimized by the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm possesses an accuracy of 88.15% for the training set. Prediction results of enrichment levels for the sequences with the frequencies of 6 and 5 are reasonable and acceptable, with accuracies of 70.59% and 76.37%, respectively.
Should a European project be universalistic? The case of Jürgen Habermas’ conception of European identity
Authors: Lysoňková Michala 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The emergence of the European Union as an autonomous actor, to some degree independent of its member states, raises the issue of a common European identity. Nowadays, this identity is predominantly understood in universalistic terms. This is evident in Jürgen Habermas’ constitutional patriotism, which represents an attempt to integrate the EU on the basis of universal legal-political norms. This universalism is, however, problematic because identity is a relational notion and requires the constitution of a particular boundary. Although Habermas admits the necessity of drawing a distinction between the inside and the outside, his universalistic approach, which ignores cultural aspects, prevents the marking out of a substantive boundary. By contrast, the article asserts the view that European identity can be delineated only in virtue of its being distinct from some concrete out-groups and that, in addition to the normative dimension, redefined as particular, such an identity must also include a value one.
I won’t speak our language with you: English privilege, English-speaking foreigner stereotype, and language ostracism in Taiwan
Authors: Linkov Václav , Lu Wei-Lun 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The present study addresses language ostracism in intercultural communication, a phenomenon when someone speaks a language but some members of this language community don’t speak to him in this language. This phenomenon is illustrated by language behaviour towards visually distinct bilingual minorities in Taiwan. Visually distinct minorities in Taiwan reported that they had been spoken to in English by small children or people who did not believe and accept that they really understood Mandarin when they spoke it. They might be spoken to in English despite actually speaking good Mandarin. Taiwanese people behave this way because of two conditions existing in Taiwan: an English-speaking foreigner stereotype where people assume that every foreign-looking person speaks English, and English privilege in Taiwanese society which leads to people being treated better if they can speak English.
Gender issues in Kotleba’s People’s Party of Our Slovakia: An attempt at a thematic analysis
Authors: Ďurinová Petra , Malová Darina 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The article analyses party documents and rhetoric from Kotleba’s People’s Party of Our Slovakia (ĽSNS) and demonstrates that it has a culturally conservative, instrumental and paternalist-populist attitude to gender issues. The thematic analysis indicates that the ĽSNS not only seeks to promote traditional gender roles and the exclusion of women from public space but also uses quasi-feminist arguments. These, for instance, call on women to engage more in public life but only in support of its patriarchal agenda. Our findings show that gender related issues feature only peripherally in ĽSNS rhetoric, however they are used strategically as a theme that cuts across the party ideology, forming not its core but being purposely used in relation to the party’s main priorities. ĽSNS uses gender related themes as part of its political arsenal for (1) increasing the party’s support amongst women and (2) seeking to involve more women in the party’s activities to increase its acceptability among voters.
Theoretical and practical aspects of a professional ethics of teaching
Authors: Gluchmanová Marta 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The author of the paper deals with teachers’ professional ethics and the current theoretical and practical implementation. She stresses the need for an ethics of teaching to be included in the theoretical and practical training of future teachers. She discusses ethics theories by Slovak and other authors and demonstrates the extent to which they are applied in practice. The author considers that an ethics of teaching should be a tool of the professional and moral practice of each teacher. The current situation in the Slovak educational system is rather unfavourable, and there is often a contradiction between the theoretical knowledge and its practical implementation in the everyday work of the teacher.
Democracy – or a short history of powerlessness
Authors: Arriaga Manuel , Carrilho Manuel Maria 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Our democracies presently face a set of unique challenges. In this article we argue that the current crisis needs to be understood as resulting from the convergence of two historical transformations: the paradigm of boundlessness; and what we term “endividualismo”, a novel mutation of individualism in the context of the financial age. The result is a novel political reality where individual rights are ever-expanding and the opportunities for collective action have shrunk to the point of impossibility. The resulting powerlessness of the polity demands new answers: we need to reconfigure the relationship between citizens and political power.
Bayesian Variable Selection Methods for Matched Case-Control Studies

Published: February 2017

AbstractMatched case-control designs are currently used in many biomedical applications. To ensure high efficiency and statistical power in identifying features that best discriminate cases from controls, it is important to account for the use of matched designs. However, in the setting of high dimensional data, few variable selection methods account for matching. Bayesian approaches to variable selection have several advantages, including the fact that such approaches visit a wider range of model subsets. In this paper, we propose a variable selection method to account for case-control matching in a Bayesian context and apply it using simulation studies, a matched brain imaging study conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital, and a matched cardiovascular biomarker study conducted by the High Risk Plaque Initiative.
Descartes, Rousseau, de Gaulle: France’s Constitutional Waltz of Plebiscitarian Caesarism
Authors: Wenzel Nikolai G. 
Published: February 2017

AbstractSince 1789, France has had 21 constitutional regimes. This paper explains French constitutional instability through the optic of “constitutional culture” – the norms, attitudes, and beliefs, conscious and unconscious, held by a dominant portion of the French people about the nature, scope and function of constitutional constraints. French constitutional culture has historically been torn between a desire for a strong and effective state, and an obsessive veneration of democracy. This paper argues that France’s constitutional instability between 1789 and the constitution of 1958 was a series of swings between plebiscitarianism and caesarism, caused by the influences of Rousseau and Descartes. Problems remain, especially the risks of an unconstrained “hyperpresidentialism” and undue power to the street’s ability to bully the rule of law into continued rents. But the Fifth Republic has been successful because it balanced the tensions through a semi-presidential system: the plebiscitarianism of parliamentary democracy, along with the caesarism of a strong presidency.
