BACKGROUND:
The diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) after noncardiac surgery has traditionally relied on using relatively insensitive contemporary cardiac troponin (cTn) assays. We hypothesized that using a recently introduced novel high-sensitivity cTnT (hscTnT) assay would increase the detection rate of perioperative MI.

METHODS:
In this ancillary study of the Vitamins in Nitrous Oxide trial, readjudicated incidence rates of myocardial injury (new isolated cTn elevation) and MI were compared when diagnosed by contemporary cTnI versus hscTnT. We probed various relative (eg, >50%) or absolute (eg, +5 ng/L) hscTnT change metrics. Inclusion criteria for this ancillary study were the presence of a baseline and at least 1 postoperative hscTnT value.

RESULTS:
Among 605 patients, 70 patients (12%) had electrocardiogram changes consistent with myocardial ischemia; 82 patients (14%) had myocardial injury diagnosed by contemporary cTnI, 31 (5.1%) of which had an adjudicated MI. After readjudication, 67 patients (11%) were diagnosed with MI when using hscTnT, a 2-fold increase. Incidence rates of postoperative myocardial injury ranged from 12% (n = 73) to 65% (n = 393) depending on the hscTnT metric used. Incidence rates of MI using various hscTnT change metrics and the presence of ischemic electrocardiogram changes, but without event adjudication, ranged from 3.6% (n = 22) to 12% (n = 74), a >3-fold difference. New postoperative hscTnT elevation, either by absolute or relative hscTnT change metric, was associated with an up to 5-fold increase in 6-month mortality.

CONCLUSIONS:
The use of hscTnT compared to contemporary cTnI increases the detection rate of perioperative MI by a factor of 2. Using different absolute or relative hscTnT change metrics may lead to under- or overdiagnosis of perioperative MI.
Go Underground, Young Women

Published: July 2017

Abstract
Readings of the Egyptian writer Miral al-Tahawy’s first novel, al-Khibaʾ (1996), typically view it as autobiographical, casting its first-person narrator Fatima as the author’s oppressed double. Equally dismissive, nonautobiographical readings cast her as passive “madwoman.” This article argues that an autobiographical reading attentive to Fatima’s style, language, and technique reveals her to be al-Tahawy’s dramatized interpretation of her writing self and its aspirational potential. The novel demands such a reading because of its overt modeling of autobiographical agential creation by Fatima, who creates her own authorial double, Zahwa. Neither submissive madwoman nor her creator’s wretched double, Fatima adopts strategies that offer us a guide to the necessary (if risky) creative methods of the woman “desert writer.” These methods rely on deep-diving into text and subtext (symbolized by Zahwa’s underground world), where imagination and code can resist oppression, escape censoring, interrogate the sacred, excavate sources of power, subvert the normative, and evade Western co-optation.
‘I Am A Man’: Performing black masculinity in Shirley Clarke’s The Cool World
Authors: Nogués Rosa 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The work of American film-maker Shirley Clarke has been largely ignored by feminist film history and criticism. Yet, the three feature films she completed between 1961 and 1967 are pioneering examples of the way feminist issues can be engaged with outside of the gender specific framework of feminist film theory. Her film The Cool World (1963) presents an examination of the construction and representation of black masculinity as determined by a racist normative patriarchal order. This article analyses the film’s exploration of the question of black masculinity in relationship to the Black Power Movement and the persistence of a phallocentric patriarchy that ultimately renders any attempt to subvert the racist determination of masculinity, a failure.

Published: July 2017

Polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) are activated in inflammatory reactions. Intestinal epithelial cells are relevant for maintaining the intestinal barrier. We examined interactions of PMN and intestinal epithelial cell-like CaCo-2 cells to elucidate their regulation of inflammatory signalling and the impact of cyclooxygenase (COX), nitric oxide (NO) and platelet-activating factor (PAF). Human PMN and CaCo-2 cells, separately and in co-incubation, were stimulated with the calcium ionophore A23187 or with N-Formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanin (fMLP) that activates PMN only. Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and respiratory Burst were measured. To evaluate the modulation of inflammatory crosstalk we applied inhibitors of COX (acetyl salicylic acid; ASA), NO-synthase (N-monomethyl-L-arginin; L-NMMA), and the PAF-receptor (WEB2086). Unstimulated, co-incubation of CaCo-2 cells and PMN led to significantly reduced Burst and elevated HNE as compared to PMN. After stimulation with A23187, co-incubation resulted in an inhibition of Burst and HNE. Using fMLP co-incubation failed to modulate Burst but increased HNE. Without stimulation, all three inhibitors abolished the effect of co-incubation on Burst but did not change HNE. ASA partly prevented modulation of Burst L-NMMA and WEB2086 did not change Burst but abolished mitigation of HNE. Without stimulation, co-incubation reduced Burst and elevated HNE. Activation of PMN and CaCo-2 cells by fMLP as compared to A23187 resulted in a completely different pattern of Burst and HNE, possibly due to single vs. dual cell activation. Anti-inflammatory effect of co-incubation might in part be due to due to COX-signalling governing Burst whereas NO- and PAF-dependent signalling seemed to control HNE release.
Issue ownership as a determinant of political parties’ media coverage
Authors: Van Camp Kirsten 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
For many citizens, news media are the most important source of information about relevant political
topics and actors. As a consequence, it is crucial to investigate who gains media coverage and why.
Leaning on two classic news sourcing criteria, suitability and availability, we claim that issue owners can
be seen as good news sources. By combining a content analysis of television news with data collected
through a journalist survey, we investigate whether issue ownership is a determinant of political parties’
news coverage. Results confirm that issue ownership is a predictor of parties’ news coverage, even
when controlling for ministerial competences.
Is there a link between self-perceived stress and physical activity levels in Scottish adolescents?
Authors: Cowley Joe , Kiely John , Collins Dave 
Published: July 2017

Abstract

Purpose
Accumulating life stress is a driving factor underlying the most pervasive, incapacitating health conditions in 21st century, First World societies. The most widely supported strategy, for remediating the negative health consequences of elevated life stress, is physical activity (PA). Evidence also suggests accumulating life stress impedes PA uptake. Thus, ironically, persistently elevated life stress not only negatively impacts multiple dimensions of health, simultaneously it may also reduce likelihood of participation in the most effective remediating strategy, PA. This study sought to compare patterns of PA uptake in adolescents of low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, a significant risk factor for elevated biopsychosocial stress, with more affluent age-matched peers. Related health behaviours such as smoking and alcohol consumption were also analysed.

Methods
PA patterns were determined using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for High School (PAQA). Stress scores were assessed using the 10-item perceived stress scale (PSS-10).

Results
PA scores were significantly different between groups (p < 0.05). Low SES participants were significantly less active every day (p < 0.05), excepting Saturdays (U = 31.0, Z = −1.594, p = < 0.05). Spearman’s correlation demonstrated an inverse relationship between total stress and PA during spare time (rs = −0.61, n = 10, p = < 0.05).

Conclusion
These findings add to mounting evidence suggesting excessively accumulating life stress, not only diminishes health, but simultaneously reduces PA uptake in vulnerable populations. Thereby highlighting the bidirectional relationship between stress and PA. These findings support proposals that conventional Physical Education practice should be re-framed to not only provide PA during school years, but to promote lifelong interest in PA.

Abstract
Taylor, JB, Ford, KR, Schmitz, RJ, Ross, SE, Ackerman, TA, and Shultz, SJ. Biomechanical differences of multidirectional jump landings among female basketball and soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 31(11): 3034–3045, 2017—Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs are less successful in basketball than soccer and may be due to distinct movement strategies that these athletes develop from sport-specific training. The purpose of this study was to identify biomechanical differences between female basketball and soccer players during multidirectional jump landings. Lower extremity biomechanics of 89 female athletes who played competitive basketball (n = 40) or soccer (n = 49) at the middle- or high-school level were analyzed with 3-dimensional motion analysis during a drop vertical jump, double- (SAG-DL) and single-leg forward jump (SAG-SL), and double- (FRONT-DL) and single-leg (FRONT-SL) lateral jump. Basketball players landed with either less hip or knee, or both hip and knee excursion during all tasks (p ≤ 0.05) except for the SAGSL task, basketball players landed with greater peak hip flexion angles (p = 0.04). The FRONT-SL task elicited the most distinct sport-specific differences, including decreased hip adduction (p < 0.001) angles, increased hip internal rotation (p = 0.003), and increased relative knee external rotation (p = 0.001) excursions in basketball players. In addition, the FRONT-SL task elicited greater forces in knee abduction (p = 0.003) and lesser forces in hip adduction (p = 0.001) and knee external rotation (p < 0.001) in basketball players. Joint energetics were different during the FRONT-DL task, as basketball players exhibited less sagittal plane energy absorption at the hip (p < 0.001) and greater hip (p < 0.001) and knee (p = 0.001) joint stiffness. Sport-specific movement strategies were identified during all jump landing tasks, such that soccer players exhibited a more protective landing strategy than basketball players, justifying future efforts toward sport-specific ACL injury prevention programs.

Abstract
SantaBarbara, NJ, Whitworth, JW, and Ciccolo, JT. A systematic review of the effects of resistance training on body image. J Strength Cond Res 31(10): 2880–2888, 2017—The purpose of this systematic review was to identify and appraise the literature that has specifically tested the independent effects of resistance training (i.e., weightlifting) on body image in adults. A comprehensive search of electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, PsycNET, and Web of Science for relevant studies published in peer-reviewed journals through December 2016 was conducted, and PRISMA guidelines were followed. Inclusion criteria were that a study had to be (a) written in English, (b) published in a peer-reviewed journal, (c) conducted an assessment of body image using a validated scale before and after a stand-alone resistance training intervention (i.e., not coupled with another mode of treatment), and (d) excluded participants younger than 18 years. Methodological quality was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. A total of 7,324 studies were identified, and 11 were included in this review. The majority (8 of 11) of studies concluded that resistance training can significantly improve multiple dimensions of body image, including body satisfaction, appearance evaluation, and social physique anxiety; however, only 3 studies were considered high quality based on their PEDro score, and several methodological limitations exist. Overall, resistance training seems to have the potential to improve body image in adults, but future high-quality studies with more rigorous testing methods and study designs are needed.
Je li delmatsko područje presjekao rimski limes?
Authors: Periša Darko 
Published: July 2017

U radu se preispituje nastanak i uloga stalnih rimskih vojnih logora na delmatskom području od rijeke Krke do rijeke Neretve i južno od planine Dinare, koje predstavljaju legijski logori Burnum i Tilurij te auksilijarni logori Andetrij i Bigeste. Autor se ne slaže s dosadašnjim uvriježenim mišljenjem da je riječ o rimskoj obrambenoj liniji, odnosno svojevrsnom limesu koji je nastao ili kao rezultat Oktavijanova pohoda na Delmate 34. – 33. pr. Kr. ili poslije Batonova ustanka u 9. nakon Kr., a služio za obranu rimskih primorskih gradova Narone i Salone. Vojni logori na toj liniji nastali su kao rezultat rimskih ratnih operacija na delmatskom području: Bigeste tijekom pohoda Azinija Poliona ili Oktavijana, Tilurij kao sastavni dio velikog Oktavijanovog opsadnog sustava oko delmatskog utvrđenog grada Setovije, Andetrij poslije Tiberijeva osvajanja delmatskog Andetrija, a Burnum kao dio Germanikova opsadnog sustava oko delmatskog utvrđenog grada Ardube. Kasnije postojanje stalnih logora na tim mjestima i upravo na toj kratkoj liniji u blizini rimskih lučkih gradova Narone, Salone i Skardone, i to nakon konačnog rimskog osvajanja ne samo delmatskog područja nego i širokog prostora koji je obuhvatila rimska provincija Dalmacija, treba prvenstveno promatrati kroz intenzivno i masovno novačenje Delmata i drugih pokorenih naroda u 9 delmatskih kohorti.

<p>Seurukan fish (<em>Osteochilus vittatus</em>) has many advantages, besides the fish also has disadvantages which are the slow growth, so the temperature shock of triploidization technique was expected to solve the problem. The objective of the present study was to obtain an effective temperature to increase of triploidization success of <em>seurukan</em> fish (<em>Osteochilus vittatus</em>). The experimental method and completely randomized design model were used in this study. Five levels of temperature shocks at three replicates were tasted: 4℃ (cold), 6℃ (cold), 28℃ (normal), 35℃ (heat) and 37℃ (heat). The sperms and eggs were fertilized in the plastic jar then a total 100 of fertilized eggs (zygotes) were taken randomly 3 minutes after fertilization and soaked in respective temperature for 90 seconds, and then incubated in incubation jars at the water temperature of 28-29℃. The results showed that the temperature shock gave the significant effect on the hatching and the success of triploidization success (P˂0.05), but did not give the significant effect the fertility and survival rates (P&gt;0.05). The triploid fish can be achieved using cold and heat shock, but the higher triploid fish was recorded at 37℃ was the best temperature recommended for triploidization of <em>Seurukan</em> fish.</p>

<p>Soang gourami fingerling shows variable body sizes eventhough resulted from single spawning. Differences in body sizes among individuals is assumed to be correlated to their genetic component which can be studied using cytochrome b gene PCR-RFLP marker. This study aimed to determine specific PCR-RFLP marker among different sizes of soang gourami collected from single spawning. Genomic DNA was isolated using Chelex method. Cytochrome b gene were amplified and digested using four restriction enzymes. Specific markers were analyzed descriptivelly based on DNA band pattern appear in agarose gel. Ther result showed that PCR-RFLP markers of Cytochrome b-<em>Hinf</em>I of 315bp, and 210bp, and also Cytochrome b-<em>Alu</em>I of 334bp and 189bp are specific markers for large individuals, whereas small individuals are characterized by having Cytochrome b-<em> Hinf</em>I 366bp, and 159bp and Cytochrome b-<em>Alu</em>I 525bp fragments. It is observed that genetic variation of Cytochrome b-<em>Hinf</em>I and -<em>Alu</em>I markers are possitively correlated to body size in soang gourami fingerling. Therefore, both cytochrome b-<em>Hinf</em>I and -<em>Alu</em>I gene can be reffered as specific markers to differentiate among different sizes of soang gourami strain fingerling from single spawning. This result proved that genetic divergences among individuals can be related with certain quantitative characters, such size related. Therefore our study can contribute on fisheries development, especially by providing new technique for fingerling selection to obtain high quality fingerling and also provide new insight the application of molecular technique in fisheries. </p>
FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES E POLÍTICAS CURRICULARES NA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR: UM DEBATE SOBRE A DELIMITAÇÃO DO CAMPO DE CONHECIMENTO

Published: July 2017

Este texto é fruto de uma pesquisa realizada no mestrado em Educação da UNOESC-SC que analisa as tendências curriculares na visão dos professores do curso de Pedagogia. O objetivo desta produção é apresentar o Estado da Arte que tem como categorias que norteiam a investigação: Políticas Curriculares, Formação de Professores, Políticas Educacionais e Formação do Pedagogo. A pesquisa foi financiada pelo Fundo de Amparo à Pesquisa da Unoesc - Fape Unoesc, e está vinculada a um projeto macro da Rede Iberoamericana de Politicas e Processos em Educação Superior Unoesc Unicamp. Este estudo auxilia investigações que tem como base discussões sobre políticas publicas de formação de professores, por meio de um levantamento e debate junto a autores especialistas no tema, tais como Pereira (1999), Libâneo (2006), Aguiar et. al. (2006), Scheibe (2007), Scheider (2010), Gatti (2013), Casagrande (2014) entre outros. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, tendo como fundamentação teorica a análise dos textos encontrados no Estado da Arte realizado no site do Scielo, Capes teses e dissertações e Capes Periódicos. Este debate entre os diversos autores contribuiu para uma possivel delimitação do campo do conhecimento cientifico. A análise do objeto da pesquisa pelo que foi encontrado nos sites cientificos, apresentou como resultado parcial, uma enorme e evidente manipulação de agências financiadoras internacionais e do Estado Liberal brasileiro, sobre as políticas construidas a partir de interesses voltados ao mercado capitalista. Estas imposições podem ser percebidas nas Diretrizes Curriculares da maioria da educação superior brasileira, hora privilegiando a pedagogia técnica, ora impondo ajustes não contributivos para áreas de formação como é o caso das Licenciaturas.
