Authors: Mallikarjuna Swamy K. , Ganiger Arati 
Published: September 2017

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Oral cancer is one of the most common form of malignancies in India. In many cases it develops at the site of premalignant lesion. Of all oral premalignant conditions, oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is of greater concern because of its disabling nature and relative greater chances of malignant transformation. This study is aimed to evaluate the serum lipid profile in OSMF patients as the change in lipid levels may have a diagnostic and prognostic role in the potentially malignant lesions. The present study aimed to evaluate the alteration in serum lipid profile in OSMF and to compare them with healthy controls and to correlate the relationship between pathogenesis of OSMF and lipid profile.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> It is a case control study. The study included 50 diagnosed cases of OSMF and 50 matched healthy controls. Fasting venous blood of 3 ml was collected in both cases and controls and serum was separate. Fasting serum lipid profile including total cholesterol (TC), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), high density lipoproteins (HDL) and triglycerides (TG) were measured using automatic analyser. Statistical analysis was done using student 't' test .Pearson's correlation was performed to establish the relationship between study variables. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> It was observed that there was statistically significant decrease in serum total cholesterol, TG, LDL, VLDL and HDL observed in patients with OSMF as compared to the control group (p&lt;0.005).</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The low lipid levels associated with OSMF indicates that there is inverse relationship between oral cancer and serum lipid profile. Decrease in the lipid levels may be considered as a valuable biochemical marker in the early diagnosis and prognosis of oral malignancy. </p>

Published: September 2017

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">India has a very high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB). Incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is on the rise and at times it presents with uncommon features. We reported a case of 27 year old female presented with an irregular scar mark in the submandibular region along with an asymmetric smile. She was on treatment for tuberculosis as diagnosed by an earlier aspiration cytology report. Examination showed irregular non tender scar along with an underlying 2×2 cms swelling. Repeat fine needle aspiration was inconclusive and the patient was thus taken up for excision biopsy. Final report turned out to be tubercular lymphadenopathy and treatment was thus started accordingly. We conclude that tubercular lymph nodes presenting with facial nerve paresis are extremely rare entity. A high degree of suspicion should be maintained in a country like India where prevalence of TB is significantly high.</span></p><p class="abstract"> </p>
Biofiltration optimization: phosphorus supplementation effects on disinfection byproduct formation potential
Authors: Banihashemi Bahman , Delatolla Robert , Springthorpe Susan , Gorman Erin , Campbell Andy , Basu Onita D. , Douglas Ian P. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of phosphorus supplementation on the formation potential of total trihalomethanes (TTHMfp) and five species of haloacetic acids (HAA5fp) during exposure to clearwell disinfection contact times. In addition, the study investigates the effects of phosphorus supplementation on the dissolved oxygen, organic carbon and nitrogen removal along with biofilm coverage of the filter media and biomass viability of the attached biofilm. The uptake of total phosphorus in the P enhanced filter did not correspond to the consumption of readily assimilated nitrogen or the consumption of soluble carbon. As such, the dissolved organic carbon reduction in the biologically active filters was shown to not be phosphorus nutrient limited. The clearwell TTHMfp was shown to be reduced in all filters across all measured biological filtration times in the control and P enhanced filters. The HAA5fp increased with phosphorus-supplemented operation at specific filtration cycle times as compared to non-phosphorus-supplemented operation, indicating the potential for production of HAA5 with phosphorus supplementation. Enhanced biofilm coverage of the anthracite and sand media was observed during phosphorus supplementation. In addition, increased viability of the cells embedded in the biofilm was observed in the sand media at depth during phosphorus-supplemented operation.
Prediction of overland flow resistance and its components based on flow characteristics using support vector machine
Authors: Roushangar Kiyoumars , Alipour Saba Mirza 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Due to the significance of overland flow resistance (f) in hillslope hydrology and models of erosion, the present study peruses the capability of non-linear approaches to estimate the overland flow resistance and its components. For this purpose, numerous support vector machine (SVM) models were developed and tested using four series of flume experimental data sets. This study was divided into two parts; the first section aimed to model the total overland flow resistance and investigates the effect of the different parameters on the resistance. In the second section, the resistance was linearly divided into different types of resistance (namely, grain resistance (fg), form resistance (ff), wave resistance (fw), sediment transport resistance (fs)). Then the separated components (fw and fs) were estimated by SVM. The results revealed the importance of the Froude number (Fr) values as an input data in most of the estimated models. Also, it was concluded that the slope gradient has a stronger impact on the on the sediment transport resistance over plane beds than the other hydraulic properties do. The outcome of the models approved the capability of the proposed models based on SVM. Also, SVM outperformed the empirical approaches.
Nanofabrication strategies for advanced electrode materials
Authors: Chen Kunfeng , Xue Dongfeng 
Published: September 2017

AbstractThe development of advanced electrode materials for high-performance energy storage devices becomes more and more important for growing demand of portable electronics and electrical vehicles. To speed up this process, rapid screening of exceptional materials among various morphologies, structures and sizes of materials is urgently needed. Benefitting from the advance of nanotechnology, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of various nanofabrication strategies for advanced electrode materials. This review focuses on the analysis of novel nanofabrication strategies and progress in the field of fast screening advanced electrode materials. The basic design principles for chemical reaction, crystallization, electrochemical reaction to control the composition and nanostructure of final electrodes are reviewed. Novel fast nanofabrication strategies, such as burning, electrochemical exfoliation, and their basic principles are also summarized. More importantly, colloid system served as one up-front design can skip over the materials synthesis, accelerating the screening rate of highperformance electrode. This work encourages us to create innovative design ideas for rapid screening high-active electrode materials for applications in energy-related fields and beyond.
‘An Orderly Rabble’: Plural Identities in Jizzen
Authors: Baker Timothy L. 
Published: September 2017

Jizzen (1999) has frequently been approached in terms of its clear parallels between individual and national birth and development. Throughout the volume, however, Jamie presents collective identity not in terms of unity but rather, in the words of ‘Lucky Bag’, an ‘orderly rabble’. Identity is figured not simply in terms of shared experience, but also through what might be termed a politics of difference, whereby the nation – and by extension, perhaps, the self – is seen in terms of individuals defined in relation to other individuals. This approach is exemplified in the collection’s structure, wherein poems in different registers and voices closely abut. This chapter argues, in comparison to other contemporary poets, that in Jizzen Jamie turns her focus to the construction of a tentative ‘we’ that is amplified in later volumes. Her complex organisation of the volume suggests a new way of thinking about how literature identifies and creates a common world.
Sex for Sale in Scotland
Authors: Settle Louise 
Published: September 2017

Sex for Sale in Scotland examines the various formal and informal methods that were used to police female prostitution in Edinburgh and Glasgow between 1900 and 1939 and explores how these policies influenced women’s lives. The book uses a rich combination of police, probation, magistrates’, poor law and voluntary organisations’ records to demonstrate how these organisations worked together to establish a more ‘penal-welfare’ approach towards regulating prostitution in Scotland. By mapping the geography of prostitution, the book argues that prostitution was not necessarily forced into the outskirts of society, either physically or socially.
The book examines both indoor and outdoor prostitution and the relationships that developed among the wide range of people who profited from commercial sex. Particular emphasis is placed on the experiences of the women involved in prostitution, highlighting the poverty, exploitation and abuse they faced, but also the ways in which they negotiated these dangers. This social history of prostitution maps how the organisation, policing and experiences of prostitution developed in an ever-changing urban landscape during a period of extraordinary developments in technology and entertainment, alongside the wider socio-economic changes brought about by the First World War.
Figures de la parentalité et enjeux du familial en accueil familial thérapeutique
Authors: Jung Johann , Pétavy Chantal , Pourcel Nathalie , Rochet Thierry , Serhane Yasmine 
Published: September 2017

L’accueil familial thérapeutique (AFT) est un dispositif de soin qui permet d’explorer les figures de la parentalité et les enjeux du « familial » mobilisés dans la relation accueillant/accueilli. À partir de l’analyse psychodynamique d’un cas clinique d’une petite fille de deux ans, nous envisageons l’AFT comme un dispositif de soin attracteur des figures de la parentalité et congruent aux besoins psychiques de l’enfant. Ainsi, nous étudions comment l’AFT soutient un travail de transformation des figures de la parentalité, en appui sur l’élaboration du positionnement clinique de l’assistante familiale, partagée entre des préoccupations professionnelles et parentales, induites par ce dispositif. Cette perspective nous permet également d’aborder la façon dont la parentalité et les enjeux du « familial » se rejouent institutionnellement à travers les liens entre les professionnels impliqués dans cette modalité de soin. L’AFT peut alors s’offrir comme lieu de mise en scène et d’élaboration des processus qui se déploient dans l’espace de l’accueil.
Traces traumatiques et figures projectives des catastrophes de symbolisation
Authors: Roman Pascal 
Published: September 2017

L’auteur reprend, actualise et développe la notion de « catastrophe de symbolisation » dans le cadre des productions aux épreuves projectives. Cette notion avait initialement été proposée dans un article paru en 1997 pour rendre compte des effets de rupture dans les processus de symbolisation. L’hypothèse centrale consiste à considérer que les productions projectives, au Rorschach et au TAT, portent la trace des vécus traumatiques précoces. Ces vécus traumatiques se traduisent par un certain nombre d’expressions projectives (catastrophes de symbolisation) qui témoignent de la mise en échec des processus de symbolisation. Une première discussion du concept de « catastrophe » en mathématique met l’accent sur le double mouvement qui le caractérise : rupture et élaboration d’une nouvelle forme. La définition de trois figures des catastrophes de symbolisation est proposée secondairement, illustrée à partir des protocoles de Rorschach et de TAT de deux adolescents issus d’une recherche consacrée aux adolescents engagés dans des agirs sexuels violents.
Perversion et psychose II (dans « Kant avec Sade » de Jacques Lacan)
Authors: Kaltenbeck Franz 
Published: September 2017

Répondre à la question de savoir comment la perversion et la psychose se situent l’une par rapport à l’autre est nécessaire pour éclairer ces deux structures cliniques. Si la perversion évolue sous le régime logique du déni (de la castration) et la psychose sous celui de la forclusion (du Nom-du-Père et/ou du phallus) il est clair que ces deux structures ne se confondent pas. Un pervers ne rejette ni le père ni le phallus. Mais un psychotique peut trouver dans une perversion une assise qui ne se réduit pas aux « traits de perversion » toujours présents dans les fantasmes des névrosés. Un psychotique peut agir comme un pervers, s’habiller en pervers, jouer dans un scénario pervers. Selon Freud, la perversion est le négatif de l’hystérie. Pourrait-on affirmer que la perversion propose une scène pour la psychose ? Que la perversion ne se transforme pas en psychose, est-ce que cela ne rend pas pour autant le pervers insensible aux phénomènes psychotiques ? Comme nous le verrons, dans l’écrit « Kant avec Sade » (1960) de Lacan, la perversion croise trois fois les voies de la psychose. Un pervers ne devient pas fou ni un fou pervers, et pourtant ni la perversion ni la psychose ne sont étanches l’une par rapport à l’autre. Les passerelles qui mènent de l’une à l’autre peuvent entraîner tel sujet au crime sexuel et tel autre à une création sublime…
Le corps adolescent et le transfert. Tague ton blaze ou le bang de la rencontre
Authors: Masson Céline 
Published: September 2017

À partir de deux cas cliniques d’adolescents, il s’agit de montrer en quoi l’espace du transfert est un espace de subjectivation et de créativité. Comment le psychanalyste et l’adolescent co-créent dans ce lieu de la consultation qu’est l’espace analytique. Ce lieu crée du temps, il est le lieu de tous les possibles où le patient comme l’analyste sont modifiés par ce contact de psychique à psychique. Comment le malaise adolescent peut-il s’inscrire dans ce lieu et s’écrire ? Nous verrons que ces adolescents en « mal de corps » vont parvenir à tracer, sur l’espace blanc de la rencontre, des mots, des images qui sont déjà une en-formation de leurs symptômes.
The Factory in a Garden
Authors: Chance Helena 
Published: September 2017

From the 1880s, a new type of designed green space appeared in the industrial landscape in Britain and the USA, the factory pleasure garden and recreation park, and some companies opened allotment gardens for local children. Initially inspired by the landscapes of industrial villages in the UK, progressive American and British industrialists employed landscape and garden architects to improve the advantages and aesthetic of their factories. In the US, these landscapes were created at a time of the USA’s ascendancy as the world’s leading industrial nation. The factory garden and park movement flourished between the Wars, driven by the belief in the value of gardens and parks to employee welfare and to recruitment and retention. Arguably above all, in an age of burgeoning mass media, factory landscaping represented calculated exercises in public relations, materially contributing to advertising and the development of attractive corporate identities. Following the Second World War the Americans led the way in corporate landscaping as suburban office campuses, estates and parks multiplied. In the twenty-first century a refreshed approach brings designs closer in spirit to pioneering early twentieth century factory landscapes. This book gives the first comprehensive and comparative account of the contribution of gardens, gardening and sports to the history of responsible capitalism and ethical working practices from multiple critical perspectives and draws together the existing literature with key primary material from some of the most innovative and best documented of the corporate landscapes; Cadbury, the National Cash Register Company, Shredded Wheat and Spirella Corsets.
