Erudite, Insightful and Immensely Important: A Commentary on V. P. Glăveanu’s Critical Article The Psychology of Creativity – a Critical Reading
Authors: Persson Roland S. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Glăveanu’s target article is indeed timely and thought provoking. This commentary argues that Glăveanu needs not to be criticised in regard to stances taken, but rather be encouraged to expand his scope further. I suggest that this should be done by addressing the need for inter-disciplinary knowledge synthesis and also by recognising and exploring the social dynamics (and politics) of the academic world. Researchers need to be knowledgeable with regard to both in order to further an understanding of creativity and also to apply research findings responsibly.
The Big Question in Creativity Research: The Transcendental Source of Creativity
Authors: Kharkhurin Anatoliy V. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
In this commentary, I raise an etiological question, which has been virtually excluded from the horizon of contemporary scholarship. In spite of a long history of philosophical, mystical, and religious approaches considering the transcendent and/or spiritual sources of human creativity, mainstream creativity researchers have become gradually reluctant to acknowledge the supernatural influences in this human endeavour. This account is either disregarded altogether or re-interpreted in a way that substitutes supernatural connections with observable and measurable processes. On the one hand, the latter approach appears to fall within the premises of modern science and thereby earns substantial attention the scientific community. On the other, this could be one of the reasons why creativity research has reached its epistemological cul-de-sac. I argue that by retaining the source of creativity within an individual, one annihilates the whole constellation of personality traits and processes, which have transcendent characteristics. It is important to integrate the study of transcendent experience into the study of cognitive, personality, and environmental underpinnings of creative faculties. A possible direction for this change is offered by transpersonal psychology, which makes an attempt to resurrect an investigation of spiritual reality and integrate it in the study of modern psychology. At the end of the commentary, I sketch a transcendental model of creativity developed along the lines of a transpersonal paradigm.
Cognitive Poetry: Theoretical Framework for the Application of Cognitive Psychology Techniques to Poetic Text
Authors: Kharkhurin Anatoliy V. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
This article presents a theoretical framework for the author’s experimental work in contemporary poetry, which has received the term cognitive poetry. In contrast to cognitive poetics, which applies the principles of cognitive psychology to interpret poetic texts, cognitive poetry applies these principles to produce poetic texts. The theoretical considerations of cognitive poetry are based on the assumption that one of the major purposes of creative work is to elicit an aesthetical reaction in the beholder. The aesthetical reaction to poetic texts could be achieved via their satiation with multiple meanings presented through multiple sensory modalities. Cognitive poetry employs techniques developed in cognitive psychology to explicitly address cognitive processes underlying the construction of multiple conceptual planes. The following techniques are discussed: priming, the Stroop effect, multimodal and multilingual presentations. The applications of these techniques are illustrated with examples of poetic texts produced by the author.

Published: February 2017

Abstract
The aim of this study is the analysis of creativity changes across life, particularly the widely discussed crisis periods in the development of creative abilities. A large and diversified sample of Poles (N = 4898 aged from 4 to 21 years), at each educational stage of the Polish education system, from pre-schoolers, through primary school students, middle-school students, secondary-school students and finally university students completed the Test for Creative Thinking – Drawing Production. The observed changes showed a nonlinear pattern in the development of creativity with diverse declines and increases in creative abilities. These trends are different for each of the assessment criteria of the TCT-DP and at least three different trajectories were identified. The adolescent slump was confirmed for three of the 14 assessment criteria as well as the total TCT-DP score. What was not noted however was: a slump caused by entry into formal schooling, (age 6 vs 7), 4th grade slump, (age 9 vs 10) and 6th grade slump (age 11 vs 12). We discuss possible reasons for and consequences of the findings.
Teachers’ Beliefs About Creativity and Possibilities for its Development in Polish High Schools: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Gralewski Jacek 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to research teachers’ beliefs about creativity and possibilities for its development in Polish high schools. The study consisted of in-depth interviews. It was conducted with a group of 15 high school teachers, all of whom taught the key subjects (math, Polish and foreign languages) for the final school-leaving examination. The qualitative thematic analysis applied to the collected data revealed eight themes. Each of them concerned the teachers’ understanding of what creativity really is, their attitude towards students’ creative activity at school, aims that they formulated to stimulate their creativity, as well as the role and place of students’ creative activity at school. In addition, the themes referred to actions that had been taken by the teachers to stimulate their students’ creativity and factors that inhibited or stimulated the development of students’ creativity at school. The teachers, who were the subject of the analysis, understood creativity as creative potential, that is, the ability to think independently, to give new and original solutions to all sorts of tasks and problems, as well as creative activity oriented towards everyday innovation. Additionally, the study revealed that there exists a creativity gap between verbal support for developing students’ creativity at school and classroom practice.
Love for Frequent and Low Flow Activities in the United States and India
Authors: Montijo Monica N. , Mouton Angela R. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
This study explored how much participants in the United States (US) and India loved activities that are inherently flow producing (Frequent Flow Activities) versus those that are not (Low Flow Activities). Frequent Flow Activities (FFA) typically possess the three antecedents of flow, namely clear and proximate goals, immediate feedback and a perceived balance of challenge and skill. By contrast, Low Flow Activities (LFA) are typically relaxing or enjoyable but not underpinned by these antecedents. In addition, this study explored whether love for FFA/LFA differed by age, gender and nationality, and whether love for FFA/LFA was positively related to various measures of wellbeing. Results indicate that neither age nor gender affected love for FFA/LFA. However, nationality did make a difference, in that Indian but not US participants loved FFA more than LFA. Finally, both FFA/LFA were significantly and positively related to a number of wellbeing measures. Implications and applications are discussed.

Summary
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare sporadic disease characterized by histiocytic neoplastic infiltration of various organ systems and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from benign and self-limiting to lethal. Herein, we report a rare case of adult-onset multi-systemic LCH in a 36-year-old male patient with an initial perianal presentation and incidental finding of subsequent thyroid gland involvement in the follow-up period. The patient with a history of perianal LCH treated with surgical excision and local radiotherapy was referred to our Endocrinology Department upon detection of hypermetabolic nodular lesions in the left lateral lobe of thyroid gland on positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET/CT) scan in the nineth month of follow-up. Current evaluation revealed euthyroid status, a hypoechoic solid lesion of 13 × 9 mm in size with irregular borders in the left thyroid lobe on thyroid USG and cytologic assessment of thyroid nodule. The patient was diagnosed with suspected, oncocytic lesion, Hashimoto thyroiditis or LCH. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy and pathological assessment confirmed the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Assessments in the sixth month of postoperative follow-up revealed euthyroid status with no thyroid tissue remnants or pathological lymph node on thyroid USG. In view of the multifocal lesions indicating multi-system disease, a systemic chemotherapy protocol with combination of prednisone (PRED) and vinblastine (VBL) has been planned by the hematology department.

Learning points:

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) shows a wide clinical spectrum and prognosis that ranges from benign and self-limiting single-system disease (with single or multifocal lesions) to a potentially lethal multi-system disease with severe organ dysfunction and death in some cases.

It has been stated that the diagnosis is often delayed in perianal LCH unless LCH is specifically considered in the etiology, despite the fact that mucosal involvement may precede systemic involvement.

Our findings support the statement that most of patients with LCH were PET positive at the time of initial diagnosis, while also emphasize the inclusion of this imaging modality as a part of the diagnostic workflow as well as in the setting of treatment response evaluation among adult LCH patients.
Comorbidities and Complications of Spinal Fusion for Scoliosis
Authors: Berry Jay G. , Glotzbecker Michael , Rodean Jonathan , Leahy Izabela , Hall Matt , Ferrari Lynne 
Published: February 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
General pediatricians and hospitalists are increasingly summoned to optimize the comorbid conditions of children with medical complexity (CMC) undergoing major surgery. We assessed the relationship between specific chronic conditions of CMC and hospital resource use with spinal fusion for scoliosis, an operation with high cost and morbidity.

METHODS:
Retrospective analysis of 7252 children age ≥5 years with an underlying complex chronic condition undergoing spinal fusion between January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2014 in 41 children’s hospitals. Hospital length of stay (LOS), cost, and 30-day readmission rate were compared across comorbid conditions by using linear and logistic regression accounting for demographic characteristics and clustering of patients by hospital.

RESULTS:
Fifty-nine percent of children had ≥4 comorbid conditions. As the number of chronic conditions increased from 1–3 to ≥10, median LOS increased 60% (5 [interquartile range (IQR), 4–7] to 8 [IQR, 5–13] days); median hospital cost increased 53% ($52 319 [IQR, $37 937–71 513] to $80 429 [IQR, $58 602–$111 965]); and readmission rates increased 293% (5.4% to 15.8%) (P &lt; .001 for all). In multivariable analysis, conditions strongly associated with LOS and cost were chronic respiratory insufficiency (LOS: +2.1 days; cost: +$12 070; and bladder dysfunction (LOS: +0.8 days; cost: +$4014) (P &lt; .001 for all). Readmission likelihood was highest with bladder dysfunction (odds ratio, 1.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.1–2.0) and epilepsy (odds ratio, 1.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.0–1.5).

CONCLUSIONS:
Chronic respiratory insufficiency, bladder dysfunction, and epilepsy had significant associations with hospital resource use for CMC undergoing spinal fusion. Pediatricians, patients, and families may find it useful to consider these conditions when striving to benefit the children’s perioperative health and outcomes.

Obraz świata zakładany w pytaniach filozoficznych – na przykładzie fenomenologii (Ingarden) i tomizmu egzystencjalnego (Krąpiec)
Authors: Duchliński Piotr 
Published: February 2017

W artykule przedstawiono, w jaki sposób za pomocą analizy pytań oraz udzielanych na nie odpowiedzi można dokonać eksplikacji zakładanego przez filozofów obrazów świata. Problem ten przedyskutowano na przykładzie tomistów i fenomenologów. Analiza pytań oraz udzielanych odpowiedzi pokazała, że za każdym sformułowanym pytaniem kryje się inny obraz świata, który decyduje o tym, jakie pytania się stawia w punkcie wyjścia teorii oraz jakich udziela się odpowiedzi. Wszystkie pytania i odpowiedzi są zawsze zrelatywizowane do określonego obrazu świata, który filozof przyjmuje, kierując się różnymi racjami: metodologicznymi, aksjologicznymi czy też społecznopsychologicznymi. W przypadku fenomenologów mamy do czynienia z platońskim obrazem świata, zaś w przypadku tomistów z obrazem arystotelesowskim.
’Aκρασία and desire
Authors: Hynes Timothy 
Published: February 2017

Although he does not use the phrase, in Book VII of the Nicomachean ethics, Aristotle contends with the philosophical problem of socratic intellectualism, attempting to unwind the apparent paradox of the ἀκρατής, the man who knows what he ought to do and who fails to do it. As part of this project, he examines the mechanism of the practical syllogism, knowledge in terms of potency and act, as well as ignorance and knowledge. In this essay, I will briefly review Aristotles’ endeavor, emphasizing the role of desire in the practical syllogism. By taking apart the example syllogism he uses, I will argue that desire plays a fundamental role in the deliberative process and functions as a kind of implicit universal premise. In doing so, I will show the interaction between reason and desire and the way in which the latter plays a pivotal part in the conclusion of the practical syllogism. Finally, insofar as desire can be understood as one of the premises of the syllogism and thus a kind of ‘knowledge,’ I will conclude by arguing that moral development consists in reason determining the proper mean for each of the virtues, and that it has an important role in cultivating the emotions, ordering them to the principles of practical wisdom.

Authors: Pantoja Bucheli Andrés Darío , Guerrero Ordoñez Juan Carlos , Castillo Muñoz Jhon Fredy 
Published: February 2017

Introducción: el presente artículo es producto de investigación del proyecto “Análisis de oportunidades energéticas con fuentes alternativas en el departamento de Nariño –Alternar–”, ejecutado desde el 2014 hasta inicios del 2016, por la Universidad de Nariño, en cooperación con la Universidad de los Andes y ASC Ingeniería S. A. E. S. P., con el apoyo de la Gobernación de Nariño, y financiado por el Sistema General de Regalías durante el 2014, en Colombia. El objetivo de la investigación fue proponer un esquema de aprovechamiento integral y sostenible de los recursos locales para la generación de energía, investigando las tecnologías de redes inteligentes y microrredes aplicadas a zonas no interconectadas zni. Metodología: los estudios se llevaron a cabo en dos poblaciones de la región Pacífica nariñense, donde los índices de cobertura energética son muy bajos (2-5 horas/día). Para determinar el potencial energético de cada zni, se realizaron los siguientes pasos: caracterización geográfica y socioeconómica de la localidad, caracterización de la demanda energética, caracterización de los residuos forestales, diseño de la planta de gasificación y del sistema híbrido y el prediseño de la red eléctrica. Resultados: en las dos zni de estudio, se describen los equipos del sistema híbrido mediante simulaciones de optimización en Homer. Conclusiones: es factible usar residuos forestales para la energización de las zni con tecnologías sostenibles, para minimizar así la dependencia de combustibles fósiles y reducir la producción de los gases de efecto invernadero.
Agua, desarrollismo y emergencia del conflicto ambiental: El proyecto hidroeléctrico Paraná Medio en Santa Fe, Argentina (1957-1997)
Authors: Rausch Gisela Ariana 
Published: February 2017

En un contexto histórico caracterizado por la asunción de la finitud de los recursos energéticos y naturales, los análisis sobre el “hidropoder” han constituido un ámbito prolífico para la discusión de los desequilibrios y las desigualdades sociales en el uso de los recursos naturales.Desde un abordaje interdisciplinar, y a través de un caso de proyecto hidroeléctrico, se analizan las relaciones entre los discursos del desarrollismo, las políticas públicas y las prácticas territoriales, en el contexto más general de aplicación de políticas económicas durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX en América Latina. Se pretende visibilizar cómo se construyen los discursos que legitiman prácticas territoriales en relación al uso de los recursos naturales y los conflictos derivados del acceso desigual a los mismos.

Published: February 2017

Background: Infections remain an important cause of mortality and morbidity in children with nephrotic syndrome. It triggers the onset of disease or relapses and may also be responsible for a poor response to steroid therapy. Understanding the type and severity of infections is important in the appropriate management of these children. This study was conducted to determine the frequency and type of major infections in children with nephrotic syndrome.Methods: A longitudinal descriptive study was conducted in a tertiary center, in children between 1 and 12 years with nephrotic syndrome satisfying the International Study of kidney disease in children (ISKDC) criteria, from March 2013 to September 2014. Major infections were defined as infections affecting deep organs and tissues which warrant hospitalization. Results: A total of 246 children with nephrotic syndrome were enrolled, of whom 46 children developed 48(19.6%) episodes of major infections. Thirteen (27%) major infections occurred in the initial episode and 35(73%) in relapse cases. Pneumonia (41.7%) was the commonest infection, followed by urinary tract infection (25%), septicemia (16.7%), spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (8.3%), cellulitis (4.2%), perinephric abscess (2.1%) and pulmonary tuberculosis (2.1%). Two children had multiple infections. Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus was the causative organism in 5 children with septicemia. A 24% of bacterial isolates were multidrug resistant.Conclusions: Major infections remain an important complication of nephrotic syndrome in children, especially during relapses. Drug resistant organisms should be considered while treating major infections in these children.
