Published: January 2016

Purpose
– There are demands from the industry to have a modern application of Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) system which is mobile and agile. One of the factors why such system is needed in the industry is because of the requirement to install the measurement sensors in a hostile and harsh environment which demands a special kind of ECT system. This paper will discuss the features of mobile or portable ECT which is more practical to be implemented in the harsh environment. Besides, the implementation of cloud computing and wireless technology in the portable ECT systems is also discussed. This review outlines some key features of portable or in another word mobile ECT as a complete system.

Unsettling Neoliberal Rationalities: Engaged Ethnography and the Meanings of Responsibility in the Dominican Republic and Mexico
Authors: Sletto Bj⊘rn , Nygren Anja 
Published: January 2016

AbstractNeoliberal urban environmental governance is premised in part on the development of collaborative arrangements between state and non‐state actors through which residents in informal settlements are encouraged to participate in their own governance. The neoliberal rationality of participation is implemented through governmental techniques such as responsibilization, whereby residents are rendered responsible for provision of basic environmental services previously seen as the responsibility of government authorities. However, neoliberal urban governance is incomplete, fragmented and fractured, affording room for maneuvering and innovative social agency, whereby residents mimic, reinterpret, negotiate and contest neoliberal subject formations. In this article, we discuss how engaged scholarship can facilitate such alternative productions of neoliberal subjectivities through the development of ‘knowledge encounters'. We draw on cases of solid waste management and environmental risk governance in the informal settlements of Los Platanitos, Santo Domingo Norte, Dominican Republic, and Gaviotas Sur, Villahermosa, Mexico, to suggest that knowledge encounters facilitated through engaged ethnography furnish stages for alternative conceptions of responsibility, whereby residents negotiate neoliberal techniques of governance through diverse forms of acquiescence, reconfiguration and contestation.
The image schema and innate archetypes: theoretical and clinical implications
Authors: Merchant John 
Published: January 2016

AbstractBased in contemporary neuroscience, Jean Knox's 2004 JAP paper ‘From archetypes to reflective function’ honed her position on image schemas, thereby introducing a model for archetypes which sees them as ‘reliably repeated early developmental achievements’ and not as genetically inherited, innate psychic structures.The image schema model is used to illustrate how the analyst worked with a patient who began life as an unwanted pregnancy, was adopted at birth and as an adult experienced profound synchronicities, paranormal/telepathic phenomena and visions.The classical approach to such phenomena would see the intense affectivity arising out of a ruptured symbiotic mother‐infant relationship constellating certain archetypes which set up the patient's visions. This view is contrasted with Knox's model which sees the archetype an sich as a developmentally produced image schema underpinning the emergence of later imagery. The patient's visions can then be understood to arise from his psychoid body memory related to his traumatic conception and birth. The contemporary neuroscience which supports this view is outlined and a subsequent image schema explanation is presented. Clinically, the case material suggests that a pre‐birth perspective needs to be explored in all analytic work. Other implications of Knox's image schema model are summarized.
Cross‐Country Spillovers from Fiscal Consolidations
Authors: Goujard Antoine 
Published: January 2016

AbstractIn the aftermath of the global financial crisis, many OECD countries adopted fiscal consolidation strategies to reduce their debt‐to‐GDP ratios. This paper investigates the effects of fiscal consolidation on trading partners’ growth through trade linkages. Using a measure of exogenous fiscal shocks in export markets, fiscal consolidation spillovers are found to slow down domestic growth and decrease employment. To the extent that fiscal consolidations are synchronised, fiscal policies have large spillover effects on output. Spillovers of fiscal consolidations on growth are found to be initially larger between countries belonging to currency unions, though this larger impact vanishes over the medium term. Larger spillovers of fiscal consolidation coincide with lower bilateral exports, higher bilateral imports and relative increases in unit labour costs in currency unions. Spillovers of fiscal consolidation are also found to be more detrimental to domestic growth during economic downturns in export markets.
Land suitability assessment for locating industrial parks: a hybrid multi criteria decision‐making approach using Geographical Information System

Published: January 2016

AbstractIndustrial areas play a critical role in urban and regional planning, especially for developing countries where reliable strategies for these areas can promote economic and environmental efficiency. The present study provides an integration of hybrid multi‐criteria decision‐making (MCDM) theories and Geographical Information System (GIS) processes in order to assess the suitability of an industrial location. Unlike traditional models, an efficient decision analysis demands handling uncertainties and considering dependencies between criteria. The proposed MCDM framework uses fuzzy theory because of the vagueness of experts' judgements. Moreover, Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) is employed to investigate interrelationships among the criteria. In the proposed empirical solution, analytic network process (ANP) principles are used to deal with systematic interactions. We considered several factors such as accessibility, topography, proximity, and socioeconomic characteristics in the decision‐making procedure for a sustainable industrial park. The system is applied to Hamadan province, Iran to determine appropriate locations that are the results of the aggregation of criteria maps in a GIS environment. The results demonstrate that accessibility and economic indicators are essential for choosing an industrial park's location. Additionally, the proposed method can be applied for an efficiency evaluation of available industrial parks.
Inheritance of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1C resistance in Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Authors: Moussa Saad , Kamel Essam , Ismail Ismail M. , Mohammed Ahmed 
Published: January 2016

AbstractA field strain of Spodoptera littoralis Biosduval was selected against Cry1C toxin derived from Bacillus thuringiensis entomocidus for 10 subsequent generations under laboratory conditions. Selection pressure resulted in a 29‐fold resistance ratio compared with the susceptible strain. Inheritance of Cry1C resistance was partially dominant and autosomal on the basis of bioassay response to Cry1C toxin in a reciprocal cross between male and/or female F1. Consistent with earlier findings, resistance was recessive at high concentrations of Cry1C toxin. However, the dominance of resistance increased as the concentration of Cry1C decreased. Analysis of survival and growth of progeny from a backcross (F1 × resistance strain) suggested that resistance was controlled by either a single or a few loci in cotton leafworm.

SummaryThere is growing evidence of the involvement of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative processes including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their function as a seed for the aggregation of Aβ, a hallmark feature of AD. AGEs are formed endogenously and exogenously during heating and irradiation of foods. We here examined the effect of a diet high in AGEs in the context of an irradiated diet on memory, insoluble Aβ42, AGEs levels in hippocampus, on expression of the receptor for AGEs (RAGE), and on oxidative stress in the vasculature. We found that AD‐like model mice on high‐AGE diet due to irradiation had significantly poorer memory, higher hippocampal levels of insoluble Aβ42 and AGEs as well as higher levels of oxidative stress on vascular walls, compared to littermates fed an isocaloric diet. These differences were not due to weight gain. The data were further supported by the overexpression of RAGE, which binds to Aβ42 and regulates its transport across the blood–brain barrier, suggesting a mediating pathway. Because exposure to AGEs can be diminished, these insights provide an important simple noninvasive potential therapeutic strategy for alleviating a major lifestyle‐linked disease epidemic.

AbstractObjectivesPatient compliance and satisfaction with analgesics prescribed after emergency department (ED) care for acute pain are poorly understood, largely because of the lack of direct patient follow‐up with the ED provider. Our objective was to compare patient satisfaction with three analgesia regimens prescribed for post‐ED care—a nasally administered nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (NSAID), an opioid, or combination therapy—by collecting granular follow‐up on analgesic use, pain scores, side effects, work activity levels, and overall satisfaction directly from patients.MethodsWe designed a prospective registry linking ED assessment and analgesic management for acute pain of specific musculoskeletal or visceral etiologies with self‐reported automated telephonic follow‐up daily for the 4 days post‐ED discharge. Patients were prescribed a specific NSAID (SPRIX, ketorolac tromethamine for nasal instillation) only, an oral opioid only, or both with the opioid clearly defined as rescue therapy, at the ED provider's discretion.ResultsThere were 824 evaluable subjects. Maximum pain scores improved day to day more effectively with a ketorolac‐based approach. Self‐reported rates of return to work and work effectiveness were higher with SPRIX than with opioids or combination therapy. Adverse effects of nausea, constipation, drowsiness, and abdominal pain were higher each day among patients taking an opioid; nasal irritation was more common with SPRIX. Overall satisfaction at the end of the follow‐up period was higher with SPRIX‐based treatment than with opioid monotherapy.ConclusionsAutomated telephonic follow‐up of ED patients prescribed short‐term analgesia is feasible. Ketorolac‐based analgesia after an ED visit for many acute pain syndromes was associated with favorable patient outcomes and higher satisfaction than opioid‐based therapy. SPRIX, an NSAID that is not available over the counter and has a novel delivery approach, may be useful for short‐term post‐ED outpatient analgesia.

AbstractObjectiveThis study examines the relationship between diet quality and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in rural and urban Australian adolescents, and gender differences.DesignCross‐sectional.SettingSecondary schools.Participants722 rural and 422 urban students from 19 secondary schools.Main outcome measuresSelf‐report dietary‐related behaviours, demographic information, HRQoL (AQoL‐6D) were collected. Healthy and unhealthy diet quality scores were calculated; multiple linear regression investigated associations between diet quality and HRQoL.ResultsCompared to urban students, rural students had higher HRQoL, higher healthy diet score, lower unhealthy diet score, consumed less soft drink and less frequently, less takeaway and a higher proportion consumed breakfast (P < 0.05). Overall, males had higher unhealthy diet score, poorer dietary behaviours but a higher HRQoL score compared to females (P < 0.05). In all students, final regression models indicated: a unit increase in healthy diet score was associated with an increase in HRQoL (unstandardised coefficient(B)±standard error(SE); B = 0.02 ± 0.01(SE); P < 0.02); and a unit increase in unhealthy diet scores was associated with a decrease in HRQoL (−0.01 ± 0.00; P < 0.05). In rural students alone, a unit increase in unhealthy diet score was associated with a decrease in HRQoL (B = −0.01 ± 0.00; P = 0.002), and in urban students a unit increase in healthy diet score was associated with an increase in HRQoL (B = 0.02 ± 0.00; P < 0.001).ConclusionsCross‐sectional associations between diet quality and HRQoL were observed. Dietary modification may offer a target to improve HRQoL and general well‐being; and consequently the prevention and treatment of adolescent health problems. Such interventions should consider gender and locality.
Orchestrating Care in Time: Ghanaian Migrant Women, Family, and Reciprocity
Authors: Coe Cati 
Published: January 2016

ABSTRACTPeople in southern Ghana provide care by attending to and synchronizing their and others’ life courses. Women, in particular, synchronize their life courses with the developmental and aging pathways of others. Since the 1970s, younger women in southern Ghana have migrated to urban or rural areas to earn money, leaving their children in the care of their mothers, whom they support with their remittances. As migrant women grow older, they return to their hometowns to provide elder and child care. Although female transmigrants also use these temporal strategies of care, the synchronization of life courses proves more difficult to coordinate in transnational contexts. For these reasons, time and timing is as important as space and location to transnational migrants, and migration is transtemporal as well as translocal.
Are Mixed Economies Persistent or Transitional? Evidence Using Social Networks from Arctic Alaska

Published: January 2016

ABSTRACTTwo opposing narratives describe future prospects for mixed economic livelihoods in Alaska and the broader Arctic. On the one hand, Arctic anthropologists have written about the emergence of persistent mixed economies in Native communities. A second narrative echoes modernization assumptions and assumes that “subsistence is dying,” mixed economies are transitional, and Native communities are headed inevitably toward full market dependence. We provide evidence that mixed economies are not transitional. Mixed economies have three components: households engage in (1) market exchange, (2) subsistence activities, and (3) culturally embedded social relationships sustained by flows of wild food and other resources. Using household‐level social network and economic data from two Iñupiat communities spanning 30 years, we explore hypotheses designed to test an assumed transition to market dependence. If transition assumptions hold, households with high engagement in the cash economy will have low engagement in subsistence production and diminished social relationships. Results do not support this narrative of change. Although there is considerable variability in household harvest, income, and social relationships, those highly engaged in market activities are also disproportionately involved in subsistence activities, sharing, and cooperation. Beyond broad narratives, an assessment of underlying processes and conditions supporting persistent mixed economies is warranted.

Interspecies Semiotics and the Specter of Taboo: The Perception and Interpretation of Dogs and Rabies in Bali, Indonesia
Authors: Orr Yancey 
Published: January 2016

ABSTRACTThe anthropological fields of ethnobiology and ethnoscience, in their analysis of indigenous environmental knowledge, have largely focused on forms of conceptual knowledge such as biological terms and taxonomic categories. However, their examination of subjects’ environmental knowledge does not explicitly address how subjects relate to their environment through varied cognitive and phenomenal mechanisms. By including other types of knowledge, such as perceptual acuity and interpretive range, differences in indigenous knowledge and the processes that shape such knowledge may be better understood. In this article, I report the results of experiments comparing the abilities of Hindus and Muslims in Bali to discern the differences in dog vocalizations and to diagnose the presence of rabies in dogs. The results highlight the importance of a negative symbolic association, the Muslim taboo on interaction with dogs, which constrains both perceptions of dogs and interpretations of the animal's behavior. Evidence for significant variation in a subject's perceptions of dog vocalizations provides greater context to prior studies that found a common ability to understand the vocalizations of dogs. Such differences, combined with the restriction of a subject's interpretative range and depth in analyzing the presence of rabies, illustrate how symbolic systems can induce a form of what psychologists refer to as “perceptual narrowing.”

AbstractHerein we report on a case of two adenocarcinomas arising from an upside‐down stomach in an elderly patient. An 83‐year‐old man was referred to our hospital with gastric cancer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed two superficial depressed lesions in the stomach that were confirmed on biopsy as constituting a moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. CT and an upper gastrointestinal barium study revealed that the entire stomach and parts of the duodenum were located in the mediastinum. The patient underwent laparoscopy‐assisted distal gastrectomy and regional lymph node dissection with Billroth I reconstruction, followed by reduction of the migrated stomach. The hiatal defect was closed by primary suturing of the right and left crura at the anterior space of the esophagus. The patient's postoperative course was good, and follow‐up after discharge was uneventful. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of multiple adenocarcinomas in an upside‐down stomach treated by laparoscopy‐assisted distal gastrectomy.

BackgroundUnder predicted climate change scenarios, koala distribution in Australia is expected to be adversely affected. Recent studies have attempted to identify suitable habitat, based on models of bioclimatic regions, but to more accurately reflect the thermal tolerance and behavioural adaptations of the various regional populations, the koala's response to periods of heat stress will need to be investigated at the individual animal level.ObjectiveTo explore the safety and suitability of temperature‐sensitive intra‐abdominal implants for monitoring core body temperature in the koala.MethodsA temperature‐sensitive radio transmitter and thermal iButton data‐logger, waxed together as a package, were surgically implanted into the abdominal cavity of four captive koalas. In one animal the implant was tethered and in the other three, it was left free‐floating.ResultsAfter 3 months, the implants were removed and all four koalas recovered without complications. The tethering of the package in the one koala resulted in minor inflammation and adhesion, so this practice was subsequently abandoned. The free‐floating deployments were complication‐free and revealed a diurnal body temperature rhythm, with daily ranges of 0.4–2.8°C. The minimum recorded body temperature was 34.2°C and the maximum was 37.7°C. The difference in the readings obtained from the transmitters and iButtons never exceeded 0.3°C.ConclusionsThe suitability of the surgical approach was confirmed, from both the animal welfare and data collection points of view.
