Turkey’s domestic politics, public opinion and Middle East policy
Authors: Hale William 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThis article looks at the domestic political conditions that help to shape the Turkey’s Middle East policy. The starting point is that the country’s foreign policy is not self-standing or determined solely by external circumstances, but is often affected by domestic divisions that shape party identities. We can classify these into the following categories: first, historically determined cultural and ethnic cleavages; second, public opinion on foreign policy issues; and, third, current domestic policy considerations that have important foreign policy implications. In tackling this agenda, certain restrictions have to be recognised. First, we have virtually no data as regards public attitudes on economic or social issues, so it has not been possible to say anything about these. Second, time series data are unavailable, as public opinion polls have only recently been made available in Turkey. This article is published as part of a collection on analysing security complexes in a changing Middle East.

Issue addressedUniversities represent important settings for the implementation of public health initiatives such as smoke‐free policies. The study aimed to assess staff and student attitudes towards policy enforcement and compliance as well as the acceptability of the provision of cessation support in this setting.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted following the introduction of a designated‐areas partial smoke‐free policy at two campuses of one Australian university in 2014. Staff (n = 533) and students (n = 3060) completed separate online surveys assessing attitudes towards smoke‐free policy enforcement and compliance, and acceptability of university‐provided cessation support.ResultsStudents held significantly stronger beliefs than staff that the smoke‐free policy required staff enforcement (69% vs 60%) and violation penalties (67% vs 60%; both P’s <0.01); however, most staff (66%) did not believe enforcement was part of their role. Only 55% of student smokers were aware that the university provided any cessation support. ‘Free or cheap nicotine replacement therapy’ (65%) and ‘free stop smoking counselling service’ (60%) were the most popular strategies student smokers thought the university should provide.ConclusionsUniversity staff and students hold conflicting views over the need for policy enforcement and who is responsible for enforcement roles. Students view the university as an acceptable setting for the provision of smoking cessation support.So what?Where staff are expected to enforce smoke‐free policies, specific education and training should be provided. Ongoing monitoring of compliance and enforcement behaviour appears necessary to avoid the pervasive kind of non‐compliance to smoke‐free policies that have been seen in other settings.
Planar cell polarity signaling in the uterus directs appropriate positioning of the crypt for embryo implantation

Significance
Blastocyst implantation is a complex process that coordinates reciprocal embryo–uterine interactions. The uterus is demarcated by mesometrial (A)–antimesometrial (AM) domains; implantation occurs at regularly spaced intervals along the longitudinal axis of the AM pole, within specialized implantation chambers (crypts). The organized crypt formation in the rodent uterus was first observed in 1901, but the mechanism driving this phenomenon remained unknown. We found that planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling coordinates luminal epithelial evaginations toward the AM domain to form crypts for embryo homing and implantation in mice. Disruption of PCP signaling by inactivation of Vang-like protein 2, but not Vang-like protein 1, in the uterus disturbs the regular formation of epithelial evaginations and crypts, disrupting implantation and decidualization and severely compromising pregnancy outcomes.

Significance
Many industrial applications often require, or would benefit greatly from, “smart” materials with complex viscoelastic properties. Traditional materials often fail to adapt or respond to changing environmental conditions, limiting their use in many industrial applications that require flow, injection or spraying, or are prepared from starting materials that are too expensive, poorly scalable, or toxic to people or the environment. Here, we exploit biomimetic multivalent noncovalent interactions to build fully scalable hydrogel materials with complex viscoelastic properties from renewable and environmentally benign materials. These low-cost, safe materials have the potential to enable novel applications; here we use them for pipeline maintenance in food and beverage manufacturing and as carriers to enhance the utility of fire retardants in fighting wildland fires.
A historiographical approach to Hong Kong Occupy
Authors: Flowerdew John 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
This article is conceptualised within the framework of a historiographical approach to critical discourse analysis (Flowerdew 2012). It focusses on a critical moment in Hong Kong’s socio-political development, the Occupy movement, and a specific language event, an interview on a local Hong Kong English-language television programme discussing the rationale for the movement. A micro-analysis of the interaction focusses on important features of the historical context, intertextual links, the backgrounds and the roles of the participants, and the argumentations strategies used by them. The article shows how a focus on a critical moment in discourse can shed light on the bigger socio-political picture and how arguments regarding particular topics may reflect larger ideological struggles, the political agendas of different groups, and the ways arguments are constructed dialogically in response not only to the words of interlocutors, but also in relation to prior (and future) discourses.
Discursive construction of the ‘key’ moment in the Umbrella Movement
Authors: Bhatia Aditi 
Published: November 2016

AbstractA mass civil disobedience movement brought Hong Kong’s key business and commercial districts to a standstill in September 2014 when low-key class boycotts coalesced into a wide-scale social movement propelled by thousands of people who flocked to the support of student protestors after an ‘unwarranted’ 87 rounds of tear gas were fired by the police. This paper will explore the discursive construction of thiskey precipitant(Kimmel 1990), that is a ‘key’ moment, which recontextualised an on-going universal suffrage campaign into an historical event that allowed, “deeply seated structural forces to emerge as politically potent and begin to mobilize potential discontents” (Kimmel 1990, 9-10). Drawing on the multi-perspective framework of the Discourse of Illusion (Bhatia 2015a) the paper will analyse this key ‘moment’ in Hong Kong’s local memory, which represented one unitary moment of change that transformed the intended course of events. The Discourse of Illusion in this respect will draw on three interrelated components: historicity (one’shabitusas key to the creation of discursive illusions, dealing as it does with the growth and change of perceptions over time); linguistic and semiotic action (subjective conceptualisations of the world give rise to one’s linguistic and semiotic actions, often through dominant metaphorical rhetoric); and the degree of social impact (as language and actions of individuals and groups engender many categories and stereotypes).
Evidentiary video and “Professional Vision” in the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement
Authors: Jones Rodney H. , Hang Li Neville Chi 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The video documentation of police violence against citizens, and the circulation of these videos over mainstream and social media, has played an important part in many contemporary social movements, from the Black Lives Matter Movement in the U.S. to the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. Such videos serve as both evidence of police abuses and discursive artefacts around which viewers build bodies of shared knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about events through engaging in exercises of “collective seeing”. This article analyses the way a video of police officers beating a handcuffed protester, which became an important symbol of the excessive use of force by police during the Occupy Hong Kong protests, was interpreted by different communities, including journalists, protesters, anti-protest groups, and law enforcement officials, and how these collective acts of interpretation served as a means for members of these communities to display group membership and reinforce group norms and ideological values.
Itineraries of protest signage
Authors: Lou Jackie Jia , Jaworski Adam 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The pro-democracy occupation of three commercial and retail areas in Hong Kong that lasted over two months in the fall of 2014 – known as the Umbrella Movement – created a myth of Utopia (Barthes 1984 [1954]). In this paper, we track the itineraries (Scollon 2008) and resemiotizations (Iedema 2003) of the protest signage to show how they mythologized the Movement by “branding space”, “regulating and disciplining actions”, and “unifying the voice of protest”. We argue that the semiotic processes and effects involved in the emplacement and widespread distribution of the protest signage were not only key in the mobilization during the Movement but also the emergence and reinforcement of a “new” Hongkonger identity in the long run.
Contribution of Nursery Areas to the Adult Population of Atlantic Menhaden
Authors: Anstead Kristen A. , Schaffler Jason J. , Jones Cynthia M. 
Published: November 2016

AbstractMuch is known about the life history of the Atlantic Menhaden Brevoortia tyrannus, and yet the impact of multiple nursery grounds on population structure remains a central challenge in understanding this species. Historic estimates hypothesized that the Chesapeake Bay is the predominant contributor of new recruits (age 1) to the adult stock, but no research has been done on which nursery grounds support the adult stock. In this study, we used previously established chemical signatures from juvenile otoliths to evaluate the natal origin of adult Atlantic Menhaden (ages 2–4) that correspond to the 2008–2010 year‐classes. We found that, on average across ages, the northeastern, Chesapeake Bay, and southeastern nursery grounds each contribute about 30% of the recruits that persist into older age‐classes and that over the 3 years of the study the proportion of nursery contributions from each nursery was relatively stable. This has repercussions for the fishery, as most fish ages 2–3 are fully mature and thus comprise the majority of the spawning biomass as well as the commercial landings in recent years. In addition to identifying regions that are essential for the persistence of this species, these results suggest that productive nurseries are related to age‐ and size‐dependent migration as well as physical conditions in the ocean.Received May 6, 2016; accepted August 31, 2016 Published online November 29, 2016
Absorptivity and purification of La in as-cast pure copper

Published: November 2016

Cu-La alloys with various additions of La were prepared in a vacuum electric furnace. The effects of La additions on the absorptivity and purification of La in as-cast pure copper were investigated. The results show that the absorptivity of La increases with increasing additions. However, this is as a result of reactions with impurity elements in the copper and further oxidation in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, the addition of La further reduces the contents of impurity elements such as Si, Pb and S, and purifies liquid copper more effectively, which can help to improve the mechanical properties of as-cast pure copper. However, excessive rare earth element additions can lead to decreases in elongation due to the excessive formation of intermetallic compounds. This paper is part of a Themed Issue on Brass Alloys.

Published: November 2016

Background: The median age of the single adult homeless population is 50 and rising. Although the prevalence of substance use decreases as individuals age, older adults now have a higher prevalence of substance use than older adults did 10 years ago. Homeless individuals have a higher prevalence of substance use disorders than the general population. However, little is known about substance use in older homeless adults. Methods: The objective of the study was to examine prevalence of and factors associated with substance use in a population-based sample ( N = 350) of homeless individuals aged 50 and older in Oakland, California. Dependent variables included moderate or greater severity illicit drug symptoms (Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) score >3) and moderate or greater alcohol symptoms (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) score >7). Independent variables included demographics, mental health problems, and negative life course events such as physical and sexual abuse, school expulsion, and onset of homelessness. Results: Almost two thirds of participants, 64.6%, had moderate or greater severity symptoms for at least 1 illicit drug; 25.8% had moderate or greater severity alcohol symptoms. History of psychiatric hospitalization was associated with moderate or greater illicit drug symptoms (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.9, 1.0–3.6). The presence of major depressive symptoms was associated with moderate or greater severity alcohol symptoms (AOR = 1.8, 1.1–3.0). Conclusions: In this sample of older homeless adults, substance use is common. There is a need for substance use treatment programs, integrated with mental health services, which are targeted towards the needs of older homeless adults.
Promoting assessment for learning through curriculum‐based performance standards: teacher responses in the Northern Territory of Australia
Authors: Fenwick Lisl 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACTGovernments in Australia claim that standards‐based reforms to schooling will result in greater use of assessment for and as learning. This study analyses the assessment practices that evolved within the planned curricula for senior secondary schooling in the Northern Territory of Australia during standards‐based reforms. Case‐study methodology was used, with each of the six teachers participating forming one case. The data collected and analysed included the texts created by the six participating teachers from a range of subject areas as they planned to enact the new curriculum. Semi‐structured interviews were also conducted with each of the six teachers. The findings indicate that the inclusion of subject‐based performance standards in the curriculum for senior schooling did not result in teachers planning a curriculum that included assessment practices for actively engaging students in learning.
Validating curriculum development using text mining
Authors: West Jason 
Published: November 2016

AbstractInterdisciplinarity requires the collaboration of two or more disciplines to combine their expertise to jointly develop and deliver learning and teaching outcomes appropriate for a subject area. Curricula and assessment mapping are critical components to foster and enhance interdisciplinary learning environments. Emerging careers in data science and machine learning coupled with the necessary graduate outcomes mandate the need for a truly interdisciplinary pedagogical approach. The challenges for emerging academic disciplines such as data science and machine learning center on the need for multiple fields to coherently develop university‐level curricula. Using text mining, we empirically analyze the breadth and depth of existing tertiary‐level curricula to quantify patterns in curricula through the use of surface and deep cluster analysis. This approach helps educators validate the breadth and depth of a proposed curriculum relative to the broad evolution of data science as a discipline.

This is the final report for CIPM key comparison CCAUV.V-K3 in the area of 'vibration' (quantity of acceleration). The aim of this comparison was to measure the voltage sensitivity of one accelerometer standard set with primary means at 27 frequencies from 0.1 Hz to 40 Hz. Fourteen Metrology Institutes from five RMOs have participated in the comparison with National Institute of Metrology, P.R. China as pilot lab and Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'Essais and National Metrology Institute of South Africa as co-pilot labs. One quartz-flexure servo accelerometer of single-ended type and a signal conditioner was circulated among the participants. All but one of the participating laboratories provided their calibration results, which were mostly consistent within their declared expanded uncertainties for magnitude results. Only two participants failed to contribute to the KCRV values calculated for five frequencies. For phase shift, three participants could not contribute to the calculation of the KCRV values in a total of sixteen frequencies. This first low-frequency vibration key comparison revealed the current calibration capabilities of the fourteen participants of five RMOs.

ontologyX: a suite of R packages for working with ontological data
Authors: Greene Daniel , Richardson Sylvia , Turro Ernest 
Published: November 2016

Abstract

Summary
Ontologies are widely used constructs for encoding and analyzing biomedical data, but the absence of simple and consistent tools has made exploratory and systematic analysis of such data unnecessarily difficult. Here we present three packages which aim to simplify such procedures. The ontologyIndex package enables arbitrary ontologies to be read into R, supports representation of ontological objects by native R types, and provides a parsimonius set of performant functions for querying ontologies. ontologySimilarity and ontologyPlot extend ontologyIndex with functionality for straightforward visualization and semantic similarity calculations, including statistical routines.

Availability and Implementation
ontologyIndex, ontologyPlot and ontologySimilarity are all available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network website under https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/.

Abstract

Background.
Polymyxins including colistin are an important “last-line” treatment for infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp). Increasing use of colistin has led to resistance to this cationic antimicrobial peptide.

Methods.
A cohort nested within the Consortium on Resistance against Carbapenems in Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRACKLE) was constructed of patients with infection, or colonization with CRKp isolates tested for colistin susceptibility during the study period of December, 2011 to October, 2014. Reference colistin resistance determination as performed by broth macrodilution was compared to results from clinical microbiology laboratories (Etest) and to polymyxin resistance testing. Each patient was included once, at the time of their first colistin-tested CRKp positive culture. Time to 30-day in-hospital all-cause mortality was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazard modeling.

Results.
In 246 patients with CRKp, 13% possessed ColR CRKp. ColR was underestimated by Etest (very major error rate = 35%, major error rate = 0.4%). A variety of rep-PCR strain types were encountered in both the ColS and the ColR groups. Carbapenem resistance was mediated primarily by blaKPC-2 (46%) and blaKPC-3 (50%). ColR was associated with increased hazard for in-hospital mortality (aHR 3.48; 95% confidence interval, 1.73-6.57; P &lt; .001). The plasmid-associated ColR genes, mcr-1 and mcr-2 were not detected in any of the ColR CRKp.

Conclusions.
In this cohort, 13% of patients with CRKp presented with ColR CRKp. The apparent polyclonal nature of the isolates suggests de novo emergence of ColR in this cohort as the primary factor driving ColR. Importantly, mortality was increased in patients with ColR isolates.
