The Trade Effects of Border Controls: Evidence from the European Schengen Agreement
Authors: Felbermayr Gabriel , Gröschl Jasmin , Steinwachs Thomas 
Published: October 2017

AbstractThe Schengen Agreement is an important milestone in the European integration process. The purpose is to facilitate the flow of goods, services, and persons across intra‐European borders. How successful is it in achieving this goal? We apply an econometric gravity analysis to bilateral trade. Unlike earlier analysis, we acknowledge that Schengen treats different country pairs differently, depending on their relative geographical location. Moreover, we find it crucial to carefully control for other elements of European integration such as membership in the customs union, the single market or the currency union, and to factor in countries' trade with themselves. Schengen has boosted trade by about 2.81 per cent on average, on top of the EU's trade effects (equivalent to a drop in tariffs between 0.46 and 1.02 percentage points). Trade creation effects for services are stronger than for goods, but estimates feature larger parameter uncertainty. Peripheral countries benefit more than central ones. Other aspects of EU integration matter much more for trade than Schengen.
Legitimizing Europe in Contested Settings: Europe as a Normative Power in Turkey?
Authors: Aydin‐Düzgit Senem 
Published: October 2017

AbstractThis article aims to explore whether – and if so, how – the EU is perceived as a normative power (NPE) in Turkey in the context of deteriorating Turkey–EU relations. By adopting the Habermasian understanding that legitimacy is a prerequisite for NPE and through employing a focus group methodology novel to NPE research, the article finds that a certain segment of the Turkish public views the EU as a normative power, suggesting that claims for the existence of NPE need to be qualified both by the level of analysis and by the local context which comprises socio‐cultural factors as well as government/opposition dynamics. The article also shows that contestation of the EU's actorness takes place over moral and ethical‐political arguments rather than utility‐based debates, demonstrating that polarization is noticeably present as far as the EU's normativity is concerned, and not on the perceived costs and benefits of EU accession.

Reviewing the class of Al-rich Ti-Al alloys: modeling high temperature plastic anisotropy and asymmetry
Authors: Chowdhury Helal , Altenbach Holm , Krüger Manja , Naumenko Konstantin 
Published: October 2017

AbstractIn the last decades, the class of Ti-rich TiAl-based intermetallic materials has replaced many contemporary alloys till 900 °C. Due to higher oxidation resistance, 20% lower density and higher (about 150 °C more) operating temperature possibility of Al-rich TiAl alloys over Ti-rich side, phases from the Al-rich region of this alloy system are considered to be highly potential candidates for high temperature structural applications. Although there are a lot of works about Ti-rich alloys, however, investigation from the Al-rich side is very limited. This work reviews the class of Al-rich TiAl alloys in terms of phases, microstructures, morphology, deformation mechanisms, mechanical behaviors along with a possible micromechanical modeling approach. Single crystal like Ti-61.8at.%Al alloy from the Al-rich family has been chosen as an example for modeling high temperature anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry. A possible comparison with Ti-rich side is also presented.
Does the cognitive therapy of depression rest on a mistake?
Authors: Gipps Richard G. T. 
Published: October 2017

SummaryCognitive therapy for depression is common practice in today's National Health Service, yet it does not work well. Aaron Beck developed it after becoming disillusioned with the psychoanalytic theory and therapy he espoused and practised. But Beck's understanding of psychoanalysis appears to have been seriously flawed. Understood rightly, the psychoanalytic approach offers a cogent theory and therapy for depression which, unlike the cognitive approach, takes us to its emotional-motivational roots. A clinically successful therapy can afford to eschew theory and rest on its pragmatic laurels. This is not the case for cognitive therapy. The time is right to re-examine the psychoanalytic theory and treatment of depression.

PurposeOur aim was to determine whether cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) differs between those who receive androgen-deprivation therapy by surgical castration and those who receive gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) therapy.Patients and MethodsBy using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we analyzed data from 14,715 patients with PCa diagnosed from January 1, 1997, through December 31, 2011. The patients were treated with bilateral orchiectomy or GnRHa therapy. We used inverse probability of treatment weighting with propensity scores to adjust for the imbalance in covariate baseline values between these two groups. Cox regression models were used to identify risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke (IS), and cardiac-related complications.ResultsOverall, 3,578 patients with PCa (24.3%) underwent bilateral orchiectomy and 11,137 patients (75.7%) received GnRHa therapy. Both groups had a similar risk of CV ischemic events (ie, MI or IS; hazard ratio, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.97 to 1.38) during a median follow-up time of 3.3 years. However, during the first 1.5 years of follow-up, there were higher CV ischemic events in the orchiectomy group than in the GnRHa group (hazard ratio, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.88), particularly in patients who were ≥ 65 years of age, had hypertension, had a Charlson comorbidity index score ≥ 3, and had a previous history of MI, IS, or coronary heart disease.ConclusionCompared with bilateral orchiectomy, use of GnRHa does not increase the risk of CV ischemic events in patients with PCa. Nonetheless, orchiectomy is associated with higher rates of CV ischemic events in older patients and those with a history of CV comorbidities within 1.5 years of initiating androgen-deprivation therapy. These findings can help clinicians decide on the optimal castration strategy for individual patients.
Expanding Medicaid Access without Expanding Medicaid: Why Did Some Nonexpansion States Continue the Primary Care Fee Bump?
Authors: Wilk Adam S. , Evans Leigh C. , Jones David K. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Six states that have rejected the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's (ACA) Medicaid expansion nonetheless extended the primary care “fee bump,” by which the federal government increased Medicaid fees for primary care services up to 100 percent of Medicare fees during 2013–14. We conducted semistructured interviews with leaders in five of these states, as well as in three comparison states, to examine why they would continue a provision of the ACA that moderately expands access at significant state expense while rejecting the expansion and its large federal match, focusing on relevant economic, political, and procedural factors. We found that fee bump extension proposals were more successful where they were dissociated from major national policy debates, actionable with the input of relatively few stakeholder entities, and well aligned with preexisting policy-making structures and decision trends. Republican proposals to cap or reduce federal funding for Medicaid, if enacted, would compel states to contain program costs. In this context, states' established decision-making processes for updating Medicaid fee schedules, which we elucidate in this study, may shape the future of the Medicaid program.

Background: Programmatic monitoring of insecticide resistance in disease vectors is mostly done on a large scale, often focusing on differences between districts, regions or countries. However, local heterogeneities in residual malaria transmission imply the need for finer-scale data. This study reports small-scale variations of insecticide susceptibility in Anopheles arabiensis between three neighbouring villages across two seasons in Tanzania, where insecticidal bed nets are extensively used, but malaria transmission persists. Methods: WHO insecticide susceptibility assays were conducted on female and male An. arabiensis from three proximal villages, Minepa, Lupiro, and Mavimba, during dry (June-December 2015) and wet (January-May 2016) seasons. Adults emerging from wild-collected larvae were exposed to 0.05% lambda-cyhalothrin, 0.05% deltamethrin, 0.75% permethrin, 4% DDT, 4% dieldrin, 0.1% bendiocarb, 0.1% propoxur, 0.25% pirimiphos-methyl and 5% malathion. A hydrolysis probe assay was used to screen for L1014F (kdr-w) and L1014S (kdr-e) mutations in specimens resistant to DDT or pyrethroids. Synergist assays using piperonly butoxide (PBO) and triphenol phosphate (TPP) were done to assess pyrethroid and bendiocarb resistance phenotypes. Results: There were clear seasonal and spatial fluctuations in phenotypic resistance status in An. arabiensis to pyrethroids, DDT and bendiocarb. Pre-exposure to PBO and TPP, resulted in lower knockdown rates and higher mortalities against pyrethroids and bendiocarb, compared to tests without the synergists. Neither L1014F nor L1014S mutations were detected. Conclusions: This study confirmed the presence of pyrethroid resistance in An. arabiensis and showed small-scale differences in resistance levels between the villages, and between seasons. Substantial, though incomplete, reversal of pyrethroid and bendiocarb resistance following pre-exposure to PBO and TPP, and absence of kdr alleles suggest involvement of P450 monooxygenases and esterases in the resistant phenotypes. We recommend, for effective resistance management, further bioassays to quantify the strength of resistance, and both biochemical and molecular analysis to elucidate specific enzymes responsible in resistance.

Published: October 2017

Purpose The objective of this systematic review was to summarise the outcome after cast wedging due to loss of angulation in conservative fracture treatment of children's fractures. Methods Electronic searches were performed using MEDLINE, PubMed, OVID, CENTRAL and EMBASE without language restrictions. Results Three studies comprising 316 patients (210 radius, 52 forearm/both bone forearm fractures and 54 tibia fractures) were included in the present analysis. Cast wedge failures occurred in 14 of 316 (4.4%) patients. Three patients (0.9%) needed surgical fixation and 11 patients (3.4%) ended up with a healed deformity. Furthermore, eight of 316 (1.8%) patients needed remanipulation and cast change. Conclusion Cast wedging reflects a reliable treatment option for secondary displaced long-bone paediatric fractures.
Media Ecology of Cable Television
Authors: Morrison James C. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In Laws of Media Marshall and Eric McLuhan propose a fourfold process of examination they call the tetrad, consisting of enhancements, obsolescences, retrievals, and reversals, which is applied here to cable television. Cable TV enhances the quality of the broadcast signal, obsolesces the physical antenna and ability (or need) to manipulate it for best reception, retrieves the penny press of the 19th century, and reverses into TiVo, ReplayTV, the World Wide Web, and eventually into the common carrier model of telephony. But the attendant social and cultural effects overshadow any effects deriving from content alone.
Migrance, sensorium et translocalité chez Ying Chen et Kim Thúy
Authors: Sing Pamela V. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Critical discourse addressing the question of ‘migrant writing’ has most often privileged phenomena related exclusively to movement, whence the tendency to characterize the intercultural subject in relation to concepts such as exile, deterritorialization and dispossession. This article, centred on the most recent novels of two Asian francophone writers, Ying Chen and Kim Thúy, seeks to broach the subject from another angle. The author postulates that the coexistence of prose and poetic expression in a same text produces a tension that may be interpreted as the attempt to portray the migrant figure as an emplaced mobile subject. The study’s theoretical bases are grounded in the notions or concepts of sensual imagination and translocality.
La perspective communément adoptée pour penser la question identitaire chez les écrivains migrants privilégie les phénomènes liés exclusivement à la mouvance, ce qui explique la tendance à parler du sujet interculturel en rapport avec des concepts tels que l’exil, la déterritorialisation et la dépossession. Cet article adopte une autre approche en s’intéressant au traitement de la question chez deux écrivaines asiatico-francophones, Ying Chen et Kim Thúy. L’auteure postule que la coexistence de la prose et de l’expression poétique chez ces écrivaines produit une tension, expression de la tentative de parler à la fois de mouvance et d’ancrage dans un ‘chez-soi’. La base théorique de son étude emprunte à l’anthropologie son intérêt pour l’imagination sensuelle et à la géographie, le concept de la translocalité.
La quête identitaire d’Ook Chung: Analyse thématique de La Trilogie coréenne
Authors: Kim-Bernard Kyeongmi 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This review article analyses La Trilogie coréenne (2012) of Ook Chung. A Québécois writer born in Japan to Korean parents, Chung tells the stories of his uprooted and twice immigrated family in the wake of the stormy events that his home country experienced in the twentieth century. The challenging search for identity of one who claims to be ‘the offspring of chaos’ appears in these three stories. Marked by a strong autofictive flavour, La Trilogie coréenne enables us to explore a significant aspect of postcolonial migrant writing in Canada. The article examines Chung’s descriptions of the search for identity in such fictional settings as Canada, Japan, Korea and France. It aims to identity the particularity and the relevance of the trilogy in francophone literature. To achieve this, the ­article refers to theories developed in the field of postcolonial migrant writing by, for example, Simon Harel and Homi Bhabha.
Cet article analyse La Trilogie coréenne (2012) d’Ook Chung. Écrivain québécois né au Japon de parents coréens, Chung relate les récits de sa famille déracinée et doublement immigrante dans la foulée des événements houleux que son pays d’origine a traversés au vingtième siècle. Dans ces trois récits se lit la difficile quête identitaire d’un être qui se déclare être ‘le rejeton du chaos’. Marquée par une forte saveur autofictive, La Trilogie coréenne s’avère propice à explorer un aspect significatif de l’écriture migrante postcoloniale au Canada. Cet article examine l’écriture de Chung autour du thème de la difficile quête du moi en considérant la mise en décors romanesques aussi divers que le Canada, le Japon, la Corée et la France. Il identifie la particularité et la pertinence de la trilogie dans la littéraire francophone. Pour y arriver, l’article se réfère aux travaux qui ont des attributs dans le domaine de l’écriture migrante postcoloniale comme ceux de Simon Harel et de Homi Bhabha, entre autres.
Long-term impacts of artistled songwriting workshops with individuals in regional Australia: A pilot study
Authors: Baker Felicity A. , Jeanneret Neryl , Watt Bec 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Young people in regional communities demonstrate poorer long-term economic, health and employment outcomes than do youth from urban areas. Active participation in creative arts has the potential to improve educational performance, enhance personal development and improve social cohesion in socially excluded communities. The Musomagic programme represents a creative arts partnership model between school, community and artist, engaging young people in regional and remote communities in songwriting and music video workshops. This retrospective study used inductive and iterative thematic analysis of interviews with seven Musomagic mentors to examine the long-term impacts on the lives of young people and the community. The results show that Musomagic can deliver long-term positive impacts. These impacts were most strongly apparent in personal and community themes, and somewhat less so in the school theme. The researchers discovered that development of confidence was perceived as a key enabler that led to the personal, school and long-term impacts.
Portugal’s strategy on brain gain: Its meanings and impacts in the making of a post-national language of citizenship
Authors: Carvalhais Isabel Eestrada 
Published: October 2017

This article assesses the Portuguese position in regard to the challenges of brain circulation, from the analysis of a few set of public measures that have been implemented in the recent past. The management of brain circulation undertaken over the last years, along with the management
of scientific and technological production and dissemination, access to education and training resources, comprise a strategy that follows much of the international trends in regard to the states' empowerment through the reinforcement of scientific and technological knowledge. However, as
the text tries to show, such strategy in the Portuguese case, is also profoundly shaped by the country's semi-peripheral position. The text tries to provide some evidence of the obstacles that may menace and jeopardise the eventual success of the country's efforts to overcome its semi-peripheral
reality.
Finally, the text suggests we bring forward a new set of questions about the ethics underlying the assumption of certain forms of knowledge (in the case under scrutiny, scientific and technological knowledge) as superior to other forms.
The suggestion for this new set of questions
follows the analysis present in the text of how an economically selective policy of immigration like exists in Portugal also shelters the present regime that facilitates the legal entrance and residence of highly-skilled immigrants (HSI).
Searching for traces of the indexical within synthetically rendered imagery
Authors: Burford Sam 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In this article I discuss the attribution of photographic indexicality to synthetic photorealistically rendered images. For some traditionalists the idea of photographic indexicality being associated with a synthetically produced digital image is heresy, while others who are more comfortable with the attribution will look to the underlying computational methods that lie behind this insight. An examination of the underpinnings of the software algorithms that produce these synthetic images points to a class of statistical methods based on Monte Carlo simulation, which employs nondeterministic randomness as a strategy to overcome the overwhelming complexity of the simulations. Expanding on a practice that uses the instrumental nature of these probabilistic algorithms as a means to examine the aesthetic qualities of simulated light, I suggest that these mathematically incomplete simulations capture a referential linkage between subject and image – equivalent to a form of indexicality.
The world unseen: Photography as a probe of particulate materiality
Authors: Doser Michael 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This article examines the role of photography in the scientific discovery of cosmic radiation and antimatter, showing how a visual medium designed to react to photons was successfully coopted to detect invisible particles and antiparticles through traces left by their collision, so-called annihilation events. The continuous presence of cosmic radiation means that every photograph is always already a double image, carrying both a visible surface formed by photons and a latent image carrying traces of cosmic rays, the latter ‘image’ continuing in its perpetual state of ‘development’. It is the physical irregularity of the photograph exposed to the continuous and uniform shower of cosmic radiation that leads Doser to speculate on image formation not through an external referent but through the internal manipulation of the material substrate.
What is twenty-first-century photography?
Authors: Rubinstein Daniel 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In the twentieth-century photography was the de-facto face of representation, as the visual arm of an industrial society that thought to reproduce the world as commodity for the consumption by individuals. However, in the twenty-first century this logic of mechanical reproduction is augmented by the (fuzzy) logic of algorithmic processing, which does not require individuals and commodities for its operation, but converts both to packets of data. The task of photography today is not to represent the world as an image, but to explore the conditions that make something like an ‘image’ possible.
