Are male partners of pregnant women treated negatively in maternity care?
Authors: Wright Christian , Geraghty Sadie 
Published: October 2017

Background There has been a significant cultural shift in attitudes towards male partners' involvement in maternity care, resulting in a cultural acceptance that male partners should be involved throughout pregnancy and birth. Anecdotal evidence, however, shows that male partners may still experience negative attitudes from obstetric and midwifery professionals. Aim To explore midwifery students' experiences of negative attitudes or behaviour directed toward male partners by women, midwives, and/or doctors during antenatal and intrapartum care. Methods An open online anonymous survey was used to collect data from 21 midwifery students. Findings Two main themes were revealed: observed negative behaviours, and behaviour reasoning. Each theme contained sveral sub-themes, namely aggression, exclusion, and condescension (observed negative behaviours), and excusable by pain, preoccupied, misplaced support and respectful inclusion (behaviour reasoning). Conclusions The accommodation of male partners into maternity settings does not always meet their needs, and is at time disempowering through negative attitudes and behaviours.

Authors: Thelwell Emily , Rheeston Mary , Douglas Hazel 
Published: October 2017

Background: The Solihull Approach is a model designed to support professionals, including breastfeeding peer supporters, to think about their work with children and families. Aims To gain insight into breastfeeding peer supporters' experiences of using the Solihull Approach by exploring breastfeeding peer supporters' motivation to volunteer, their experiences of peer supporter breastfeeding training, and their experiences of putting this training into practice. The study also sought to identify factors that could contribute to improving the service. Methods A qualitative study was undertaken with three voluntary and four paid peer supporters. Participants were interviewed using a semi-structured schedule and data were analysed using thematic analysis with an inductive approach. Findings Three key themes and their sub-themes emerged: motivation to volunteer, experience of being a peer supporter, and practical and personal applications of the Solihull Approach. Conclusions Several benefits have been highlighted when incorporating the Solihull Approach into peer professionals' practice, including increased confidence levels and improved team communication, as well as positive outcomes in their personal lives.

… et l’âme créa le rêve. Le traité Sur les songes de Synésios de Cyrène
Authors: Monticini Francesco 
Published: October 2017

AbstractFrom Homer onwards, in both ancient Greek and Byzantine cultures, dreams were generally conceived as a phenomenon that enters the human being from outside, inasmuch as inspired by the divinity, and not as a product of human interiority. Nevertheless, there exists a distinctly dedicated work about this subject that provides a completely different point of view: it is the treatise On dreams by Synesius of Cyrene. Assuming that dreams are cognizable, Synesius argues that they must be perceived in the same way as sense perceptions. Therefore, they must pass through the center of human self-consciousness, which Synesius calls «Imaginative Spirit». This is only the beginning of a philosophical demonstration aiming to prove that all the images belonging to the Becoming, including oneiric ones, reside inside the soul and do not have their own source outside the human being.

AbstractBackgroundGlobally, efforts are being made to control tobacco use. However, adolescents who are susceptible to cigarette smoking constitute a major challenge to control efforts. Defining the magnitude of susceptible adolescents and associated factors in any setting is critical to the development of measures that will successfully address this issue. This study estimated the prevalence and factors associated with susceptibility to cigarette smoking among non smoking students in Ilorin, North Central Nigeria.MethodsA cross sectional study involving 2000 secondary school students selected via multistage sampling technique. Data was collected using a self administered questionnaire, while analysis was done using SPSS 16.0.ResultsPrevalence of susceptibility to cigarette smoking among non smoking respondents was 13.6% (14.5% among males and 11.4% among females, respectively). Factors associated with susceptibility to cigarette smoking were parental smoking habit [odds ratio (OR) = 4.43], having close friends who smoke (OR = 6.54), engagement in vocational training (OR = 1.39), exposure to environmental tobacco smoke at home (OR = 1.61), knowledge of harmful effects of tobacco (OR = 2.35) and perceptions of the effect of cigarette smoking such as enhancing attractive among boys (OR = 2.03), and causing weight gain among boys (OR = 2.39) and among girls (OR = 6.05).ConclusionThe high prevalence of susceptibility to cigarette smoking among the non smoking students highlights the potential for future increase in prevalence of cigarette smoking in the setting. Efforts at controlling cigarette smoking will not be totally successful if susceptibility to cigarette smoking among adolescents is not addressed.
A Perfect Match? Are Dogmatic Belief Systems Simply a Reconciliation of Cognitive and Emotional Human Needs?
Authors: Gries Thomas , Müller Veronika 
Published: October 2017

AbstractThis paper uses theoretical and empirical literature of various disciplines to develop a conceptual framework for explaining violent social conflicts. This interdisciplinary framework identifies crucial individual and social mechanisms, and suggests three constitutive sets of elements that define the “anatomy of violent civil conflicts”: (i) we begin by considering the role of socio-economic and political conditions and subjective mental states that trigger cognitive and emotional demands such as the demand for safety, order, social belongingness, and self-esteem. (ii) To satisfy the emerging demands and to manage accrued negative emotions and subjectively experienced conflicts, individuals tend to search for reconciliation strategies. While direct physical solutions might offer a practical approach, particular mind-sets tend to provide a cognitive framework to understand and evaluate social reality. They absorb accrued negative emotions and deliver narratives for identification with like-minded individuals who share a set of ideas, goals, guidelines and interpretations. But beyond peaceful ideas, ideologies can be aggressive and totalitarian, such as Religious Fundamentalism, Right-Wing Extremism or Racism, covering irrevocable and static dogmas. (iii) In this case, the dogmatic ideological framework presents a clear, focused and guiding image of the world, which shapes a rigid pattern of coherence and contrast and which is perceived as a vital resource for motivation and recruitment. To understand at first the decision-making process of individuals, it is of vital importance to combine rational economic thinking with the dynamic processes of external threats, social belongingness and individual psychologic dispositions.

Abstract
Wonnabussapawich, P, Hamlin, MJ, Lizamore, CA, Manimmanakorn, N, Leelayuwat, N, Tunkamnerdthai, O, Thuwakum, W, and Manimmanakorn, A. Living and training at 825 m for 8 weeks supplemented with intermittent hypoxic training at 3,000 m improves blood parameters and running performance. J Strength Cond Res 31(12): 3287–3294, 2017—We aimed to investigate the effect of an 8-week low-altitude training block supplemented with intermittent hypoxic training, on blood and performance parameters in soccer players. Forty university-level male soccer players were separated into altitude (n = 20, 825 m) or sea-level (n = 20, 125 m) groups. Before (1–2 days ago) and after (1 and 14 days later) training, players were asked to give a resting venous blood sample and complete a series of performance tests. Compared with sea level, the altitude group increased erythropoietin, red blood cell (RBC) count, and hematocrit 1 day after training (42.6 ± 24.0%, 1.8 ± 1.3%, 1.4 ± 1.1%, mean ± 95% confidence limits (CL), respectively). By 14 days after training, only RBC count and hemoglobin were substantially higher in the altitude compared with the sea-level group (3.2 ± 1.8%, 2.9 ± 2.1% respectively). Compared with sea level, the altitude group 1–2 days after training improved their 50-m (−2.9 ± 1.4%) and 2,800-m (−2.9 ± 4.4%) run times and demonstrated a higher maximal aerobic speed (4.7 ± 7.4%). These performance changes remained at 14 days after training with the addition of a likely higher estimated V̇o
2max in the altitude compared with the sea-level group (3.2 ± 3.0%). Eight weeks of low-altitude training, supplemented with regular bouts of intermittent hypoxic training at higher altitude, produced beneficial performance improvements in team-sport athletes, which may increase the viability of such training to coaches and players that cannot access more traditional high altitude venues.

Abstract
Negra, Y, Chaabene, H, Sammoud, S, Bouguezzi, R, Mkaouer, B, Hachana, Y, and Granacher, U. Effects of plyometric training on components of physical fitness in prepuberal male soccer athletes: the role of surface instability. J Strength Cond Res 31(12): 3295–3304, 2017—Previous studies contrasted the effects of plyometric training (PT) conducted on stable vs. unstable surfaces on components of physical fitness in child and adolescent soccer players. Depending on the training modality (stable vs. unstable), specific performance improvements were found for jump (stable PT) and balance performances (unstable PT). In an attempt to combine the effects of both training modalities, this study examined the effects of PT on stable surfaces compared with combined PT on stable and unstable surfaces on components of physical fitness in prepuberal male soccer athletes. Thirty-three boys were randomly assigned to either a PT on stable surfaces (PTS; n = 17; age = 12.1 ± 0.5 years; height = 151.6 ± 5.7 cm; body mass = 39.2 ± 6.5 kg; and maturity offset = −2.3 ± 0.5 years) or a combined PT on stable and unstable surfaces (PTC; n = 16; age = 12.2 ± 0.6 years; height = 154.6 ± 8.1 cm; body mass = 38.7 ± 5.0 kg; and maturity offset = −2.2 ± 0.6 years). Both intervention groups conducted 4 soccer-specific training sessions per week combined with either 2 PTS or PTC sessions. Before and after 8 weeks of training, proxies of muscle power (e.g., countermovement jump [CMJ], standing long jump [SLJ]), muscle strength (e.g., reactive strength index [RSI]), speed (e.g., 20-m sprint test), agility (e.g., modified Illinois change of direction test [MICODT]), static balance (e.g., stable stork balance test [SSBT]), and dynamic balance (unstable stork balance test [USBT]) were tested. An analysis of covariance model was used to test between-group differences (PTS vs. PTC) at posttest using baseline outcomes as covariates. No significant between-group differences at posttest were observed for CMJ (p > 0.05, d = 0.41), SLJ (p > 0.05, d = 0.36), RSI (p > 0.05, d = 0.57), 20-m sprint test (p > 0.05, d = 0.06), MICODT (p > 0.05, d = 0.23), and SSBT (p > 0.05, d = 0.20). However, statistically significant between-group differences at posttest were noted for the USBT (p < 0.01, d = 1.49) in favor of the PTC group. For most physical fitness tests (except RSI), significant pre-to-post improvements were observed for both groups (p < 0.01, d = 0.55–3.96). Eight weeks of PTS or PTC resulted in similar performance improvements in components of physical fitness except for dynamic balance. From a performance-enhancing perspective, PTC is recommended for pediatric strength and conditioning coaches because it produced comparable training effects as PTS on proxies of muscle power, muscle strength, speed, agility, static balance, and additional effects on dynamic balance.
Prying into the Prion Hypothesis for Parkinson's Disease
Authors: Brundin Patrik , Melki Ronald 
Published: October 2017

In Parkinson's disease, intracellular α-synuclein inclusions form in neurons. We suggest that prion-like behavior of α-synuclein is a key component in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Although multiple molecular changes are involved in the triggering of the disease process, we propose that neuron-to-neuron transfer is a crucial event that is essential for Lewy pathology to spread from one brain region to another. In this review, we describe key findings in human postmortem brains, cultured cells, and animal models of disease that support the idea that α-synuclein can act as a prion. We consider potential triggers of the α-synuclein misfolding and why the aggregates escape cellular degradation under disease conditions. We also discuss whether different strains of α-synuclein fibrils can underlie differences in cellular and regional distribution of aggregates in different synucleinopathies. Our conclusion is that α-synuclein probably acts as a prion in human diseases, and a deeper understanding of this step in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease can facilitate the development of disease-modifying therapies in the future.Dual Perspectives Companion Paper:Parkinson's Disease Is Not Simply a Prion Disorder, by D.

Chromatin remodeler CHD1 promotes XPC‐to‐TFIIH handover of nucleosomal UV lesions in nucleotide excision repair

Published: October 2017

AbstractUltraviolet (UV) light induces mutagenic cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in nucleosomal DNA that is tightly wrapped around histone octamers. How global‐genome nucleotide excision repair (GG‐NER) processes CPDs despite that this chromatin arrangement is poorly understood. An increased chromatin association of CHD1 (chromodomain helicase DNA‐binding 1) upon UV irradiation indicated possible roles of this chromatin remodeler in the UV damage response. Immunoprecipitation of chromatin fragments revealed that CHD1 co‐localizes in part with GG‐NER factors. Chromatin fractionation showed that the UV‐dependent recruitment of CHD1 occurs to UV lesions in histone‐assembled nucleosomal DNA and that this CHD1 relocation requires the lesion sensor XPC (xeroderma pigmentosum group C). In situ immunofluorescence analyses further demonstrate that CHD1 facilitates substrate handover from XPC to the downstream TFIIH (transcription factor IIH). Consequently, CHD1 depletion slows down CPD excision and sensitizes cells to UV‐induced cytotoxicity. The finding of a CHD1‐driven lesion handover between sequentially acting GG‐NER factors on nucleosomal histone octamers suggests that chromatin provides a recognition scaffold enabling the detection of a subset of CPDs.
Can liquid-based preparation substitute for conventional smear in thyroid fine-needle aspiration? A systematic review based on meta-analysis
Authors: Chong Yosep , Ji Soon-Jin , Kang Chang Suk , Lee Eun Jung 
Published: October 2017

Objective
Conventional smear (CS) using fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has been established as the test of choice for diagnosing thyroid lesions, despite low sample adequacy and inter-individual variations. Although a liquid-based preparation (LBP) technique has been recently applied to overcome these limitations, its clinical utility and its accuracy over CS are controversial. This study aimed to determine the true sensitivity and specificity of LBP in thyroid FNAC by meta-analysis.

Design
Systematic review with meta-analysis.

Methods
We searched major electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Google Scholar) with queries of ‘thyroid’, ‘LBP’ and ‘liquid-based cytology’. Original articles including cytohistologic correlation data comparing the accuracy of any LBP technique, such as ThinPrep, SurePath and Liqui-Prep, with CS were included for qualitative meta-analysis and preparation of synthesized reporter-operating curves (sROC).

Results
A total of 372 studies were screened and 51 original articles were eligible for full-text review; finally, 24 studies were chosen for the meta-analysis. Average sample inadequacy was significantly lower in two mainstream LBP methods (ThinPrep and SurePath) than CS. Specificity and sensitivity by sROC were similar or slightly superior for LBP vs CS. Various cytomorphologic changes by each method have been reported.

Conclusions
Although a learning curve is essential for adapting to the cytomorphologic features of the LBP technique, our results support the use of two mainstream LBPs alone in thyroid FNAC that LBP will increase the sample adequacy and reduce the workload with similar accuracy. More data and further evaluation are needed for the other LBP methods.
EL SUICIDIO EN EL ÁMBITO COMUNITARIO: LINEAMIENTOS PARA SU ABORDAJE
Authors: Maroto Vargas Adriana 
Published: October 2017

El suicidio, desde una aproximación psicosocial, debe llamar la atención sobre las dinámicas sociales,las interacciones interpersonales, las redes vinculares y los aspectos estructurales asociados. Por lotanto, se deben pensar estrategias comunitarias para su abordaje. Como resultado de un proyecto deinvestigación, que hizo revisión bibliográfica y consultó a profesionales con experiencia en el abordajedel suicidio, se presentan algunos lineamientos para orientar el trabajo en comunidad. Se proponen lainvestigación centrada localmente, el respeto a la diversidad cultural, el rol de los servicios de salud enel primer nivel de atención y algunas características básicas de un programa. Sin embargo, como principales hallazgos se enfatiza la importancia de articular modelos interdisciplinarios y multisectorialesde trabajo, lo cual implica una revisión de la vinculación que ha prevalecido entre las instituciones ylas comunidades, a fin de garantizar a las personas y los grupos organizados una participación activaen la identificación de su problemática y la forma de resolverla. En segundo lugar, las iniciativas debensostenerse en pilares de puertas abiertas, abordajes grupales y sin la interferencia de requisitos administrativos. Finalmente, se destaca la escucha activa y el fortalecimiento del vínculo. La escucha puedeser ofrecida tanto profesionalmente como por otras personas de la comunidad. El reto es identificar quéespacios de escucha ya existen, ampliar, diversificar e innovarlos. Lo anterior está intrínsecamente relacionado con el vínculo, ya que un lazo social válido permite una red de soporte frente al riesgo suicida.
CRÍTICA FEMINISTA SOBRE LA NOCIÓN DE LA BUENA MADRE

Published: October 2017

El presente artículo es parte de la investigación de Tesis de Maestría en Estudios Culturales y tiene comopropósito socializar un breve recorrido sobre la crítica feminista a la institución familiar y a la nociónde la buena madre en el sistema patriarcal. Revisión teórica que permite traer a la luz algunos de losdebates que se dieron al interior de las teorías feministas desde finales del Siglo XVIII sobre el tópicode la maternidad. Así, diferentes autores y autoras problematizan de manera crítica las construccionesy los efectos de los diversos discursos sociales sobre las mujeres, entre los que se destacan los discursossobre la maternidad. Las interpretaciones feministas a las que se aluden en el presente trabajo, handefinido a la noción de maternidad como una construcción discursiva apoyada en distintas disciplinas-el saber teológico y médico en un comienzo, y luego la demografía, la psicología, entre otros- y en instituciones disciplinarias que han ido modificándose a lo largo de la historia estableciendo así, para cadaperiodo histórico, lo que se considera una buena o mala madre en función de lo que se estime negativoo positivo para cada época. En este sentido, se recorren las principales críticas teóricas feministas quepusieron bajo la lupa los aspectos históricos y filosóficos que contribuyeron a configurar el modo hegemónico de producir maternidad y se revisan los discursos sociales y políticos que coadyuvaron para laconsolidación contemporánea de la institución familiar.
Building the Islamic moral self: Sufi Abed’s Bustan Fatimah ma‘a Bustan ‘A’ishah
Authors: Dadoo Yousuf , Rafudeen Mohammed Auwais 
Published: October 2017

Sufi Abed Mian Usmani (1898-1945) of Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal, authored some ten religious books in Urdu and Gujerati, which appeared to have a considerable impact on the local community there, as well as more broadly for South African Muslims of Indian descent, and even for some Muslims of India. However, apart from two academic contributions, his work and legacy remain largely unexplored. This essay aims to build upon those contributions by analysing another of his hitherto unexamined Urdu works, namely, Bustan Fatimah ma' Bustan 'A'ishah (The garden of Fatimahwith the garden of 'A'ishah). It argues that these two works, when seen as a totality, seek to build the moral self.
Breyten Breytenbachs poëzie in Raster
Authors: Bourgeus Camille , T'Sjoen Yves 
Published: October 2017

From 1969 until 1972 the South-African writer and graphic artist Breyten Breytenbach published 29 poems, prose texts and three drawings in the Dutch experimental periodical Raster (first edition: 1967). H. C. ten Berge, writer, poet and Raster's main editor, attributed Breytenbach an unusually prominentÂ position in his magazine. In the Dutch language area of the late sixties and early seventies, Breytenbach was mostly known for his political engagement within the anti-apartheid movement. Ten Berge, however, also praised his work for its formal and experimental aesthetic qualities. According to Ten Berge experiment and engagement are related to one another in a very unique way. By examining the position of Breytenbach in Raster, the paper presents a documentation of the exceptional literary relationship between Breytenbach and Ten Berge, as well as their shared interest in certain motifs in poetry, the use of a specific metaphoric language (e.g. perception of nature and body) and a common belief in the power of poetic language.
