Hydrogel Micropatch and Mass Spectrometry–Assisted Screening for Psoriasis-Related Skin Metabolites
Authors: Dutkiewicz Ewelina P , Hsieh Kai-Ta , Wang Yi-Sheng , Chiu Hsien-Yi , Urban Pawel L 
Published: June 2016

AbstractBACKGROUNDPsoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. Screening skin metabolites could unravel the pathophysiology of psoriasis and provide new diagnostic approaches. Due to the lack of suitable methodologies for collecting scarce amounts of skin excretions, the psoriatic skin metabolome has not been extensively studied.METHODSWe implemented biocompatible hydrogel micropatch probes combined with mass spectrometry to investigate the skin metabolome. This noninvasive approach was applied to examine samples obtained from 100 psoriatic patients and 100 healthy individuals. We also developed custom data treatment tools and used chemometric and statistical tools to reveal the alterations in the skin metabolome caused by psoriasis.RESULTSThe proposed methodology enabled us to capture alterations in the composition of skin excretions caused by the disease. Chemometric analysis revealed the major differences between the metabolomes of psoriatic skin and healthy skin. Several polar metabolites were positively (choline and glutamic acid) or negatively (urocanic acid and citrulline) correlated with the plaque severity scores. The amounts of these metabolites in the excretions sampled from psoriatic skin were significantly different (P &lt; 0.001) from the excretions sampled from healthy skin. The role of biological variability and various confounding factors, which might affect the skin metabolome, was also investigated.CONCLUSIONSSampling lesional and healthy skin with the hydrogel micropatch probes and subsequent direct mass spectrometry scanning provided information on the alterations in the skin metabolome caused by psoriasis, increasing the understanding of the complex pathophysiology of this disease.
Documenting defiance: Women film-makers in Tahrir Square
Authors: Telmissany May 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
This article discusses the work of national and transnational women film-makers who contributed to the discourse on the Egyptian Revolution in the three years that followed the fall of Mubarak and who documented forms and expressions of female defiance through the lens of their camera. I argue that, in women-made documentaries, the social and political defiance vis-à-vis systems of governance and instances of authority (familial, religious and political) is shaped through the representation of a far-reaching form of disobedience, breaking the rules of social patriarchy and political paternalism, destabilizing the common knowledge on oppressed women and defying the overarching essentialist views on women’s conditions in Egypt. I argue that civic defiance cannot be understood without examining the more radical epistemic defiance to the established régime du savoir (regime of knowledge) informed by power relationships, and the way in which knowledge circulates and functions in relation to power centers and authoritarian elites.
Golden age divas on the silver screen: Challenging or conforming to dominant gender norms?
Authors: Abdel-Fadil Mona , Van Eynde Koen 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Egyptian cinema has been hugely influential throughout the Arab world, and has produced several divas. Fatin Hamama (d. 2015) and Soad Hosny (d. 2001) were very popular among their contemporaries and still continue to enchant audiences. Yet, there has been little systematic study of the cinema roles such enthralling divas were cast in. In this article, we discuss the genre melodrama, and the roles played by these two highly successful Egyptian actresses and stars over decades. We ask: to what degree do Fatin Hamama and Soad Hosny’s iconic screen characters conform to or challenge dominant gender norms? We broaden our inquiry so as to examine what characterizes the gender dynamics in the films that Fatin Hamama and Soad Hosny star in, thereby exploring what kind of male characters they are pitted against and how the gendered power dynamics play out in the storyline. The films we analyse, illustrate how numerous themes and narratives on class, patriarchy, education, modernity and nationalism overlap and play into the definition of power and relations across both class and gender. Against the backdrop of a highly politicised cinema, we discuss the various ‘state narratives’ or counter-narratives that appear to be informing the films, and demonstrate how productions from the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s betray wider political sentiments of their time. We argue that Fatin Hamama and Soad Hosny’s screen choices and famous stage personae developed in line with the capacity of the national modernist project to produce the desired results on the ground.
Religion and individual civil rights: Moroccan Jewish citizens in Where Are You Going Moshe?
Authors: Elkabas Charles 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
For decades, questions about Jewish mass emigration from Morocco were never discussed openly, and it is only in the last few years that historians, writers, politicians and film-makers have turned their attention to this delicate subject by debating it in a public forum. While we use Hassan Benjelloun’s light-hearted film Where Are You Going Moshe? (2007) as a starting point to review questions of religion, identity and citizenship, we propose that Moroccan Jews left their country en masse because they were deprived of their mobility rights.
Framing the Libyan uprising: A comparison between Al Jazeera Arabic’s and BBC Arabic’s coverage of the 2011 uprising and ensuing NATO intervention
Authors: Al Nahed Sumaya 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
This article compares Al Jazeera Arabic’s and BBC Arabic’s news coverage of the 2011 Libyan uprising and the ensuing NATO intervention in the country. Through this comparative analysis, the article evaluates the impact of these two channels’ political contexts on their coverage, especially considering that these two channels are part of broader transnational news networks that are based in countries that were active participants in the NATO intervention in Libya. The sample involves a period of roughly four weeks of coverage, and considers aspects such as the birth of the February 17 movement in Libya, the development of the opposition, the beginning and end of the 2011 NATO mission and the death of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The sample was analysed by means of a framing analysis, whereby framing refers to the way a news story is packaged, and is an especially appropriate method when considering the influence of political power on coverage. The comparative analysis ultimately found that both channels’ coverage was primarily affected by their political contexts, and aligned with national and foreign policy interests of their home countries. This alignment was evident through the coverage that was supportive of the opposition and its advances, and the intervention and its gains. However, BBC Arabic’s coverage was more balanced, especially with regard to the progression of the opposition on the ground, as it did not play up opposition gains or gloss over opposition losses, as Al Jazeera Arabic tended to do. BBC Arabic also displayed a more analytical stance when covering the death of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The language used by Al Jazeera Arabic was also far more emotive and sensationalistic than that of BBC Arabic, which displayed a far more tempered stance when covering the Libyan uprising. Thus, this article also considers how each of these channels used the Arabic language when reporting, and how these stylistic differences might have affected their coverage.
Exclusion in the Canadian context: Full-face veils as a barrier to citizenship
Authors: Mazurski Lara 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
This article explores the fiery debate on the prohibition that restricted women in fullface veils from participating in citizenship and oath-taking ceremonies in Canada (2011–2015). It shows that one of the most salient elements in this debate was limiting access to the possibilities of acquiring citizenship for veiled women and the communities they represent. Utilizing a combination of post-colonial theory, ideas of deliberative democracy, and agonistic pluralism I explore the production of discourses that scapegoat veiled women as a threat to the imagined ideal of national identity and which situate full-face veils and the women who wear them as a threat to the Canadian political sphere. After reviewing the interdisciplinary literature surrounding this debate the article concludes with a discussion of how this prohibition works against the very ideals of pluralism.
The rock star figure: Authenticity, satire and legacy in Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson (2006)
Authors: Noonan Julie A. 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
This article argues that the rock star figure trope found in some rock musicals illustrates bigness by mirroring mechanisms of rock star construction and projecting a connection to the musical audience. In doing so, the article discusses the rock star figure as a character trope utilizing theories of mediated ‘personas’ and rock authenticity. It uses the rock star figure in Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson (2006) to explore the extension of an onstage crowd that invites the audience into a vicarious connection with Jackson’s historical legacy. When the rock star figure is modelled on an historical figure, the audience member’s role is extended for them to negotiate their interpretation of the character’s historical legacy within contemporary circumstances. In Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, satire, irony and emulation of emo-rock style are layered onto the rock star figure to implicate the audience in contemporary events.
Las migraciones internacionales y la reorganización de los cuidados. Los casos de la República de Moldavia, Rumanía y Ucrania
Authors: Alice Vianello Francesca 
Published: June 2016

En el contexto de los importantes flujos migratorios desde Europa del Este hacia Europa Meridional, en este artículo se presenta un estudio cualitativo realizado en Rumanía, la República de Moldavia y Ucrania en torno a la reorganización de los cuidados que se requieren para afrontar las repercusiones de la ausencia de personas cuidadoras, también conocida como «drenaje de cuidados». En particular, se analiza la reorganización de los cuidados destinados a los menores y a las personas mayores que se quedaron en los países de procedencia tomando en cuenta los cuatro pilares del sistema o polos del «diamante» de los cuidados, a saber: las familias transnacionales, el Estado, el tercer sector y el mercado. La perspectiva desde los países de origen, la comparación entre el sistema de cuidados infantil y el dirigido a los mayores, así como la inclusión del Estado y de la sociedad civil como proveedores de cuidados complementarios a los de las familias, ofrecen una visión más completa de las trasformaciones sociales generadas por la emigración masiva.
Análisis comparativo de políticas autonómicas de España para la emigración y la ciudadanía en el exterior, 1983-2012
Authors: Oiarzabal Pedro , Uzcanga Catalina , Bartolomé Edurne 
Published: June 2016

Actualmente más de dos millones de españoles residen oficialmente en el extranjero. Desde 1980, tanto el gobierno central como los autonómicos han implementado paulatinamente una pléyade de políticas con el objetivo de reconocer y apoyar a sus poblaciones emigrantes. El presente artículo se adentra en el análisis comparativo y evolutivo del marco legislativo, de las estructuras administrativas, de los servicios y presupuestos dedicados a la emigración, y que han sido desarrollados por el gobierno central y por diez de las Comunidades Autónomas con mayor volumen de población en el exterior. La investigación se complementa con entrevistas a los gestores y políticos autonómicos con responsabilidad en materia emigratoria. El estudio vislumbra la urgente necesidad tanto de colaboración entre administraciones públicas, como de reactualización de las políticas de emigración en un contexto de crisis económica, pérdida de población y aumento de la emigración.
Movilidad estudiantil Erasmus: de la fraternidad europea a la opción migratoria
Authors: Fombona Cadavieco Javier , Pascual Sevillano María Ángeles , Iglesias Martínez Marcos J. 
Published: June 2016

A pesar del momento de crisis, Europa fortalece cada día su dimensión como comunidad internacional y ha creado un modelo de crecimiento y cohesión que puede ser una referencia para otros contextos. Una clave para lograr los objetivos de integración europea es el consenso en las decisiones sobre educación y específicamente en la implementación de las diversas acciones de movilidad Erasmus que desde 1987 ha implicado a 3 millones de personas. Esta investigación analiza este programa en la Universidad de Oviedo. Partimos de una descripción de los intereses que llevan a estas personas a iniciar la movilidad y constatamos que produce especial motivación la vivencia de una experiencia internacional, así como los factores académicos y culturales. A esto se suma el interés por dominar un segundo idioma y explorar las opciones laborales. Los resultados globales de esta singular migración en la mayoría de los casos reafirman una valoración del periodo como bueno o excelente.
Quality and Safety Assurance of Iron Casts and Manufacturing Processes
Authors: Kukla S. 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The scope of this work focuses on the aspects of quality and safety assurance of the iron cast manufacturing processes. Special attention was given to the processes of quality control and after-machining of iron casts manufactured on automatic foundry lines. Due to low level of automation and huge work intensity at this stage of the process, a model area was established which underwent reorganization in accordance with the assumptions of the World Class Manufacturing (WCM). An analysis of work intensity was carried out and the costs were divided in order to identify operations with no value added, particularly at individual manufacturing departments. Also an analysis of ergonomics at work stations was carried out to eliminate activities that are uncomfortable and dangerous to the workers' health. Several solutions were proposed in terms of rationalization of work organization at iron cast after-machining work stations. The proposed solutions were assessed with the use of multi-criteria assessment tools and then the best variant was selected based on the assumed optimization criteria. The summary of the obtained results reflects benefits from implementation of the proposed solutions.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
Metal pieces wear out due to variable loading, because cracks formed on their surface of them. In order to increase useful life of metal pieces with the help of different methods of welding, surface cracks are repaired. In this research, performance of the diffusion welding of pure iron powder through magnetic induction evaluated for repairing structural steel surface cracks. First, four specimens prepared including one control specimen and other three specimens grooved specimens in length of 6.25mm and in depth of 1mm and groove width in the sizes of 0.5, 0.75 and 1mm. Then by a coil, the induced current created in the piece surface. After crossing the current, the powder melted and the groove repaired due to diffusion welding. To prevent oxidation, the atmosphere inside the coil filled with argon gas. The results show that after repairing surface groove, tensile strength of the repaired specimens reached to the tensile strength of control specimen with the margin of 7.5%.

Published: June 2016

Summary
Truck drivers are one of the largest occupational groups in Iran. Evidence from previous studies suggests that working and living conditions on the road engender many concerns for truck drivers, and their families and communities. This research aimed to explore the experiences of Iranian truck drivers regarding life on the road.
This qualitative study was conducted among Iranian truck drivers working in the inter-state transportation sector. A purposeful sample of 20 truck drivers took part in this research. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed based on qualitative content analysis.
After analysis of the data, three main themes emerged: “Individual impacts related to the hardships of life on the road life”, “Family impacts related to the hardships of road life”, and “Having positive attitude towards work and road”. These findings represent the dimensions of perspectives in the road-life of truck drivers.
Although truck drivers possess positive beliefs about their occupation and life on the road, they and their families face many hardships which should be well understood. They also need support to be better able to solve the road-life concerns they face. This study's findings are useful for occupational programming and in the promotion of health for truck drivers.

Published: June 2016

Summary
Polymerization contraction of composite resins has been one of the most extensively studied phenomena in dentistry in recent years. Initial polymerization by low intensity light followed by polymerization high intensity light improves marginal adaptation of composite in tooth cavities. A number of studies have verified that less marginal leakage and lower marginal index (MI) exist in relation to standard polymerization (continuous high intensity light).
The aim of the study was to quantittively evaluate the bond of composite materials to dentin and determine the MI values in dentin after the application of two techniques of light polymerization in two composite systems.
Twenty V class cavities were restored on extracted teeth for scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis of composite to dentin junction. Adhesion to dentin was achieved using Adper Single Bond 2-ASB/3MESPE, that is, Adper Easy One-AEO/3MESPE. Light polymerization of composite materials Filtek Ultimate-FU/3MESPE was performed using standard halogen light (HIP) or soft start program (SOF).
Marginal index of dentin was determined by measuring the length and width of marginal gap at the junction of composite filling to dentin, using scanning mirographies and Autodesk AutoCAD program.
Two-way ANOVA test was used for statistical processing of the obtained results. Differences in MI index between different light polymerization techniques (HIP- 8,18 and SOF-7,12) were not statistically significant (p>0,05), while the differences between composite systems (ASB/FU- 3,67 i AEO/FU- 7,69) were statistically significant (p <0.05).
The polymerization technique showed no significant effect on the composite to dentin junction. Lower MI dentin was established in composite system with the application of adhesive etch and rinse procedure in both polymerization techniques.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
Production capacity is the amount of production with the determined assortment structure possible to achieve by a particular production unit in a determined time at the optimal use of production factors and at maintaining the products quality corresponding to standards. The objective of the paper was to determine the production power and output of particular workstations which constitute an assembly line of dry animal feed. The scope of research covered an assembly line in the establishment which produces dry feed for pet animals. Based on information and documentation obtained from the company manager and on the work schedule determined for particular workstations, the operation time of a machine, human work time (operation of a machine) and operation time of the entire station with its working surface was determined. Research showed that workstations which constituted the assembly line of dry animal feed were loaded within 76 to 86%. The lowest loading was reported in the mill and LP02 assembly line and it was respectively 76 and 78%. Whereas loading of the remaining devices was comparable and was at the level within 84 to 86%.

Published: June 2016

Abstract
The research concern selected traction properties of Massey Ferguson 7475 wheeled tractor, which were carried out on various deformable surfaces i.e. soil: after ploughing, sodded and with rye fore crop. The impact of driving speed on tractive power and force with 2WD and 4WD drive was investigated. Physical and chemical properties of soil during testing were characterised by moisture, compactness and maximum shearing stresses. Studies on traction properties were carried out with the use of two tractors: Massey Ferguson 7475 and New Holland 5040. During measurements, tractors were connected with a tow rod, where a strain force transducer was mounted. The stand enabled also measurement of theoretical speed. As a result of analyses of the obtained results, characteristics of tractive force and towing power as a function of slip were made. The tests confirmed that the use of four-wheel drive is unjustified because it improves these tractive parameters of a tractor. It was reported that the maximum force and towing power are generated for the lowest values of slip which is equal to 0.1 on the sodded surface. However, value of this power is the lowest in comparison to other surfaces. The highest value of the adhesion coefficient was reported on soil with rye fore crop.
