Queer nostalgia in Mad Men
Authors: Hennessee David 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Rich in 1960s period detail, the television series Mad Men (2007–15, US: AMC) nevertheless disrupts escapist nostalgia by exploring the injustices underlying the American Dream. As part of this portrayal, Mad Men shows us the pain and possibility of queer life before Stonewall. First, Mad Men spotlights the period’s homophobia and the sadness of closeted life, prompting viewers to be critical of benighted attitudes, sympathetic to queer characters, but also distanced from the period’s bigotry. Second, Mad Men documents the richness of 1960s queer life, especially detailing the growing acceptance of queer people in advertising. However, the series projects the present onto the past through tropes of the ‘gay best friend’ (GBF) and ‘helper homosexual’. Lastly, in the unexpected Glen Bishop–Betty Draper ‘romance’, the series moves beyond models of queerness rooted in identity and identity politics into a more modern exploration of ‘queer’ as non-normative, even queering time itself to propose new future potentialities. Through these different forms of nostalgia, Mad Men functions as a site of negotiation for contemporary approaches to ‘queerness’, oscillating between anti-homophobic unmasking of past injustice, neo-liberal faith in identity politics that celebrates diversity and inclusion, and a more transgressive queer challenge to normativity itself.
Blending in and standing out: Storytelling and genre in the LGBT biopics Milk and Pedro
Authors: Lupo Jonathan 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This article considers the deployment of self-reflexive storytelling strategies by the titular protagonists in the LGBT biopics Milk (Van Sant, 2008) and Pedro (Oceano, 2008). Written by Dustin Lance Black, both films utilize the formal and narrative conventions as well as the historiographic features of the biopic genre to legitimize its subjects in contemporary culture. Furthermore, Harvey Milk and Pedro Zamora foreground the practice and political utility of storytelling as they assert control over their tragic yet ultimately hopeful legacies. Through a textual analysis of the films, the article examines how the films intersect with the LGBT biopic as a subgenre of the contemporary biographical film and as popular queer history.
A (re)turn to the past: Memory and movement in ¡Viva 16!
Authors: Shaffer Andrew W. 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
At a moment marked by death and displacement, the 1994 documentary film ¡Viva 16! (Long Live 16! [Aguirre and Robles, 1994]) re-imagined the present by turning towards the past. The film followed the development and growth of a queer Latinx community on and around 16th street in the Mission district of San Francisco, CA at a time when the twin devastation of gentrification and AIDS threatened to erase the community from the landscape. Paying attention to the movements of both the narrators and the film itself, this article highlights the usage of active nostalgia and hopeful imagination to craft narratives of belonging. The article reads the film within its historical context to suggest the strategies of narration it employed are useful for utilizing the past to take action in the present.

Science and innovation dynamics and policy in Scotland: The perceived impact of enhanced autonomy
Authors: Mastroeni Michele , Omidvar Omid , Rosiello Alessandro , Tait Joyce , Wield David 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The Scottish referendum of 2014 encouraged massive public debate, including on Scotland’s scientific performance and ability to harness innovation and increase global competitiveness. The science base in Scotland has traditionally been strong but has not translated well into innovation. This article uses statistical data, over 30 interviews and two workshops with business and policy leaders, to analyse key scientific and industrial innovation dynamics, using a regional innovation systems (RIS) approach. It investigates the perceived impact of increased autonomy on the dynamics of the Scottish innovation system (SIS). The article shows the weak relationship between science and innovation, and evidences the static nature of Scottish innovation policy geared to bridging a gap rather than improving the dynamics of the various elements in the innovation system. It suggests that an approach which aims to spur evolution in specific elements of the territorial governance system would strengthen Scottish innovation capabilities.
Innovation performance and organizational capabilities in the Swedish hybrid electric vehicle technology: A study of 40 SMEs
Authors: Löfsten Hans 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This study identifies the important organizational capabilities for innovation performance in the hybrid electric vehicle technology sector. Specifically, we focus on small and medium-sized technology-based firms in Sweden. The empirical data, collected by using a questionnaire, cover 40 technology-based firms from eight industrial branches. We use eighteen variables to identify the important organizational capabilities related to markets and business competition by including indicators for each of these capabilities in two regression models. The results offer empirical evidence that these organizational capabilities are important for mainly radical innovation in the hybrid electric vehicle technology industry. This study thus contributes by exploring how businesses can link organizational capabilities in a competitive business environment. Both patent (radical innovation) and product development require firm development and R&D; however, patent development also requires internationalization. These results offer useful implications for policy-makers and firm managers, who can manage firms based on R&D and business dimensions to support their development in this sector.
Institutional stakeholder perceptions of barriers to Green IT policy in Nigeria
Authors: Okafor Adanma Ogbuogebe , Martins Jorge Tiago 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This article inductively identifies barriers and limitations to Green IT policy as perceived by IT and environmental regulators in Nigeria. Qualitative interviews were conducted with the set of senior executive managers of Nigerian regulators who share Green IT as a key remit. The data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Although mostly reactive, Green IT policy in Nigeria has mainly targeted e-waste and incentivized innovative uses of renewable energy. However, insufficient financial provision towards the promotion of Green IT was perceived to hinder efficient regulatory activities. Similarly, poor energy infrastructure and insufficient collection and recycling facilities prevented the regulators from enforcing Green IT strategies. Major impeding barriers were also reported at the levels of policy ownership and control. This article is valuable to public administration agencies who must collaborate to address the issues of information technology/information systems and sustainability. It exposes regulators’ perceived difficulty to establish lines of accountability between agencies that intervene in Green IT policy, from the perspective of a developing country. Each regulator is currently focused on taking individual efforts and steps which are perceived to lead to conflict in policies and overlapping authority. As remedial action we propose tighter coordination amongst regulators who share Green IT as a key remit.
The relations between ecological sustainability and geographical proximity: A review of the literature
Authors: Kuch Benjamin 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Sustainability is often connected with proximity in order to expound and substantiate specific research results. The two concepts have been discussed extensively in the literature, while a deep analysis regarding the linkages between them, especially for the more recent literature, is missing. The current work addresses this gap and presents a systematic literature review of 63 articles. Its main focus is on contributions around ecological sustainability from 2010 to 2015 containing explicit and latent connections to the concept of geographical proximity (GeP). Other forms of proximity are taken into account as well, especially in regard to their impact on the geographical dimension. The results are interpreted through a systems theory lens in order to allow for a discussion about the coordination of complex social systems. It is concluded that, although never a sufficient condition, GeP provides the basis for substantial sustainability-related change within current production–consumption systems.
A Japanese-American Sam Spade: The Metaphysical Detective in Death in Little Tokyo, by Dale Furutani
Authors: Portilho Carla 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThe aim of this essay is to discuss the legacy of the roman noir in contemporary detective fiction produced outside the hegemonic center of power, here represented by the novel Death in Little Tokyo (1996), written by Japanese-American author Dale Furutani. Starting from the concept of the metaphysical detective (Haycraft 76; Holquist 153-156), characterized by deep questioning about narrative, interpretation, subjectivity, the nature of reality and the limits of knowledge, this article proposes a discussion about how these literary works, which at first sight represent a traditionally Anglo-American genre, constitute narratives that aim to rescue the memory, history and culture of marginalized communities. Typical of late modernity detective fiction, the metaphysical detective has none of the positivistic detective’s certainties, as he does not share in his Cartesian notion of totality, being presented instead as a successor of the hardboiled detective of the roman noir. In this article I intend to analyze the paths chosen by the author and discuss how his re-reading of the roman noir dialogues with the texts of hegemonic noire detective fiction, inscribing them in literary tradition and subverting them at the same time.

Published: June 2017

Abstract
This retrospective observational study was based on databases of the Local Health Authority of Treviso, Italy. It evaluated the prevalence and the effectiveness of oral anticoagulation treatment (OAT) for the management of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) in everyday clinical practice. Out of 6,138 NVAF patients, only 3,024 received vitamin K antagonist (VKA). Potential barriers decreasing the probability of being treated with VKA were female sex, older age, antiplatelet treatment and history of bleeding. In addition, VKA-treatment was not in line with current ESC and AIAC guidelines, since the patients at high or low risk of stroke were under- or over-treated, resp. Among VKAtreated patients, 73 % of subjects were not at target with anticoagulation. OAT resulted to be effective in reducing stroke risk. However, stroke events were significantly influenced also by previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (hazard ratio, HR = 2.99, p < 0.001) and by previous bleeding events (HR = 1.60, p < 0.001).
Relationship between Upper Body Strength and Performance at Canoe Freestyle
Authors: Csonková Nina , Kutlík Dušan 
Published: June 2017

Summary
Performance in all canoe disciplines is based on the physical condition of the paddler and his technique and mental ability to adapt to the racing condition. The strength belongs to the most important physical factors in canoe sprint and canoe slalom disciplines. We believed that in canoe freestyle the strength has an important role in relation to the performance in comparison to other canoe disciplines. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between upper body strength and special canoe freestyle performance. The study group consisted of 16 senior kayak freestyle paddlers in the age group 26 ± 3 years old. Fitro Dyne Premium was device used to obtain data for analysis of the level of general upper body strength abilities. To determine special upper body strength we used tests on paddle machine and freestyle kayaking flat water tests. Freestyle performance was measured during ECA Euro Cup 2013 competition in Slovakia, Čunovo by official ICF judges. The data obtained were measured by the Spearman Correlation (r) correlation test. The results of the study show significant relations between kayak freestyle performance and test of general strength endurance (p < 0.05), special strength endurance, special dynamic strength (p < 0.01). There were no statistically significant correlations between kayak freestyle performance and general maximal power, dynamic strength, special maximal power.

Published: June 2017

Summary
The study evaluates changes of muscle power and velocity during trunk rotations in ice-hockey players after six weeks of training in competition period. A group of 15 ice-hockey players performed 2 trunk rotations to each direction in a standing position with barbell of 6, 10, 12, 16, 20, 22, 26 kg placed on the shoulders. Basic biomechanical parameters during the movement were monitored using the FiTRO Torso Dyne system. Results showed that mean velocity in acceleration phase of trunk rotation significantly increased after 6 weeks of training at 6 kg (from 259 to 282.6 deg/s, p = 0.003) and 12 kg (from 218.8 to 244.1 deg/s p = 0.004). However, its values did not changed significantly during rotations with 10, 16, 20, 22 and 26 kg. Mean power of trunk rotation did not changed significantly with any of used weight. These findings indicate that there are only small changes in muscle power in competition period of ice hockey-players.
Identification and characterization of non-phosphorylcholine-binding and phosphorylcholine-binding proteins of canine seminal plasma

Published: June 2017

Abstract
Seminal plasma (SP) proteins participate in the process of fertilization by binding to the sperm membrane, particularly to the phosphorylcholine-containing lipids. This study aimed to identify and characterize non-phosphorylcholine-binding and phosphorylcholine-binding proteins (nPch- BPs and PchBPs, respectively) of canine SP. The nPchBPs and PchBPs were isolated from canine SP by affinity chromatography. Electrophoretic studies revealed that the nPchBPs and PchBPs occurred in their native state as high-molecular-weight aggregates. Immunofluorescent staining showed preferential binding of nPchBPs to the sperm acrosome membrane, whereas PchBPs coating was uniformly distributed on the sperm post-acrosomal membrane, mid-piece and tail regions. Analysis with mass spectrometry confirmed that canine prostate specific esterase (CPSE) is a component of the nPchBPs and PchBPs, which is implicated in key mechanisms of protein-coating on the sperm plasma membrane surface. In addition, proteins of known binding properties such as prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase and lipocalin-like 1 protein, identified in canine SP, might have a specific role in the fertilization-associated processes.
Study on energy distributions of strong seismic events in the USCB
Authors: Bracławska Agnieszka , Idziak Adam F. 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The paper presents the statistical analysis of energy distribution of strong seismic shocks (energy E ≥ 105 J) occurred in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin which is one of the most seismically active mining areas in the world. In the USCB tremor epicenters do not occur uniformly throughout the whole basin but group in several regions belonging to different structural units and are separated by regions where strong shocks are not observed. The aim of the studies was to determine the modality of the energy distributions and to compare the modal types in regions of the USCB where the shocks epicenters cluster. An analysis was made for shocks with energies equal to or greater than 105 J recorded by Upper Silesian Regional Seismological Network operated by Central Mining Institute (CMI), which took place between 1987 – 2012. The analysis has proven the bimodality of seismic energy distribution in the three of five studied areas of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. The Gumbel’s distribution II type best fit the experimental energy distribution for almost all studied tectonic units except the main syncline area, where the Gumbel’s distribution I type matched better the low-energy mode. This is due to too short time window, causing a shortage of the strongest shocks in seismic catalogue.
Seeking Refuge: Implications when Integrating Refugee and Asylum Seeker Students into a Mainstream Australian School
Authors: Wiseman Martin , O’Gorman Shannon 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This article describes one school’s response to the inclusion and education of refugee and asylum seeker students within a mainstream educational setting. Australian government statistics released on 31 March 2016 stated that there were presently 50 children being held on Nauru, 17 children held in detention on the mainland and 317 children held in community detention on the mainland (ChilOut, 2016). Refugee and asylum seeking students are subject to the impact of war and conflict; the cumulative time spent in detention may severely limit a young person’s access to formal education. Whilst it is understood that children will benefit from access to education, the reality is that “little appears to have been written on asylum seekers” in an educational context (Reakes, 2007, p. 94). This represents a concern when it is acknowledged that “sustaining teachers in culturally and linguistically diverse schools has been a prominent issue for years” (Williams, Edwards, Kuhel, & Lim, 2016, p. 17). This article responds to the limitations of current literature by articulating considerations that would likely assist other schools seeking to establish similar inclusive frameworks. Specifically, the thematic grouping of staff observations seek to articulate the cultural considerations that likely influence the sustainability of an inclusive and liberating approach to integrative school enrolment. This paper draws on the authors’ observations and experiences in schools, the published literature and the observations of the two authors – specifically, drawing on their educational and therapeutic expertise. These observations are then grouped into themes outlined by Akinsulure-Smith and O’Hara (2012) as key reasons for therapeutic referral, namely: employment barriers, medical challenges, language barriers, social services and legal challenges.
Interrelations in the Development of Primary School Learners’ Creative Imagination and Creative Activity When Depicting a Portrait in Visual Art Lessons
Authors: Šļahova Aleksandra , Volonte Ilze , Čačka Māris 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Creative imagination is a psychic process of creating a new original image, idea or art work based on the acquired knowledge, skills, and abilities as well as on the experience of creative activity.
The best of all primary school learners’ creative imagination develops at the lessons of visual art, aimed at teaching them to understand what is beautiful in art, as well as through their being involved in the creative process and creating art works themselves.
This paper provides the characterization of the psychological process of imagination, and deals with the importance and dynamics of the development of primary school learners’ creative imagination in lessons of visual art when depicting a portrait, and it also looks at a visual art teacher’s role in organizing the educational process of developing learners’ creative imagination in a sustainable education process.
Dissonance between physicians’ and patients’ perspectives on managing impaired morning function in Asian patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: Mok Chi Chiu , Cha Hoon-Suk , Perez Emmanuel C , Tsay Gregory J , Yoon Kam Hon 
Published: June 2017

Abstract

Objectives
To estimate the prevalence of impaired morning function (IMF) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to understand physicians’ and patients’ perceptions on the impact of IMF and treatment in selected Asian countries.

Methods
A survey on the impact of IMF was conducted in Asia on rheumatologists and patients with moderate-to-severe RA who experienced IMF for ≥3 mornings a week. Participants underwent comprehensive face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires.

Results
Sixty physicians and 300 patients from Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan were surveyed. Rheumatologists estimated that two-thirds of patients with RA experienced IMF and believed that the prevalence of IMF increased with RA severity (present in 42%, 73%, and 87% of patients with mild, moderate, and severe disease, respectively). Patients’ survey revealed that, on an average, patients with RA experienced IMF 5 days a week for 2 h each day. Thirty-eight percent of patients with RA considered a reduction in morning stiffness as an important treatment goal, but this was agreed by only 3% of rheumatologists. Only 22% of rheumatologists modified the treatment regimen specifically for IMF. Physicians considered prednisolone and other glucocorticoids (GCs) to be the most effective medication for the treatment of IMF. Fifty-one percent of patients with RA did not find their current medication effective in relieving IMF, and as a result, they reported negative emotions such as frustration, defeat, and anger, and 56% had missed work because of this symptom.

Conclusions
IMF is prevalent in RA and significantly affects patients’ quality of life (QoL). A higher proportion of patients compared to physicians view the reduction of morning stiffness as an important goal. More should be done to address the dissonance between physicians’ and patients’ views on IMF.

ZusammenfassungDas Theatermuseum Düsseldorf sammelt, erschließt und präsentiert deutsche Theatergeschichte am Beispiel der Stadt Düsseldorf und der Region (NRW). Die Dokumentation dieses immateriellen Kulturgutes erfolgt gemeinsam mit den anderen Düsseldorfer Kulturinstituten im Verbund d:kult (Digitales Kunst- und Kulturarchiv Düsseldorf). Inszenierungen stehen im Mittelpunkt der Erschließung in Verbindung mit damit verknüpften vielfältigen physischen Objekten. Die Inszenierungen werden in der Datenbank als virtuelle Objekte erfasst und so an die lokalen, nationalen und internationalen Portale (d:kult online, Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek, Europeana) weiter gegeben. Bei der Weitergabe an Portale werden die vielfältigen Beziehungen auf zwei Varianten reduziert (verbundene und assoziierte Objekte). Fachspezifische Aspekte lassen sich im Exportformat LIDO noch nicht ausreichend spiegeln, obwohl es sich um ein ereignisorientiertes Format handelt. Hilfreich wäre hier eine verstärkte und normierte Präsentation von Beständen anderer theaterbezogener Sammlungen.
