Frostbite following cryolipolysis treatment in a beauty salon: a case study
Authors: Choong W.L. , Wohlgemut H.S. , Hallam M.J. 
Published: April 2017

Abstract: This case study describes frostbite, a previously unreported complication following cryolipolysis, which resulted in substantial necrosis of the flank. Medical attention was not sought until one week after treatment. On examination, two distinct areas of significant frostbite in the left flank with surrounding erythema were revealed. Surgical intervention was avoided, as is recommended in cases of frostbite, and conservative treatment resulted in recovery of the affected area. Here, the authors highlight the adverse effects related to cryolipolysis, analysing the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and management of this injury. The necessity of regulation within the cosmetic sector and the challenges associated with its implementation are also described. The authors believe emphasis must be placed on increasing patient awareness on the potential hazards of seeking cosmetic treatment from unregulated providers.
The use of a chitosan dressing with silver in the management of paediatric burn wounds: a pilot study
Authors: Massand S. , Cheema F. , Brown S. , Davis W.J. , Burkey B. , Glat P.M. 
Published: April 2017

Objective: Traditional burn dressings demonstrate unfavourable tendencies of shrinking when wet and failing to maintain their integrity when manipulated. To overcome these obstacles, gel-forming fibre dressings have emerged as an alternative. Our objective was to observe the clinical properties and healing ability in the setting of burn wounds in a paediatric centre of a chitosan-based dressing containing silver. Methods: A sample of 12 partial-thickness burns in 10 children were identified for treatment with the chitosan-based silver dressing. The dressings were moistened before application, and monitored for any shrinkage on application. Patients were monitored for healing at outpatient follow-up visits and the dressings were allowed to separate as healing occurred. Results: We treated 12 burns in 10 children with an average age of 5.2 years. The burns had an average proportion of total body surface area (TBSA) of 3.6 % and involved the trunk and all extremities. Wounds healed mostly or completely in an average of 8.3 days. Dressings retained their size when wet and integrity when removed. No burns were found to be infected at any point in the study. Conclusions: The chitosan-based dressing offered an optimal environment for moist wound management, and did not demonstrate the shrinkage or disintegration that diminishes the clinical usability of widely used hydrofibre dressings. The burns healed within an expected period of time, and did not undergo any infectious processes. Based on the results of this pilot study, the chitosan-based silver dressing is deserving of further study as an alternative to traditional burn dressings.
Materials design for sustainability: Connecting with local resource flows through the development of flax-based composites
Authors: Kane Faith 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
This report-based article uses the example of a practice-led research project, which was undertaken by the author, into the use of flax fibres cultivated in the Midlands, UK, towards new material concepts. The aim of the article is to reflect upon the project in order to consider the hypothesis that connections between people and place can be fostered through a craft-approach to materials design. It begins by reporting on the current proliferation of the materials industry and starts to build an argument for the role that craft might play in developing an approach to materials that focuses on ‘place’ as a means to design for sustainability. A short industry review covering the resurgence in the use of flax fibres within new composites is then given. The practice-led project is also briefly presented, giving details of the author’s background, methodological approach and an overview of the results. The concluding discussion aims to bring together thoughts on the hypothesis by drawing on reflections from the project and signposting potential future directions in this area.
Aesthetics of the cultural uncanny
Authors: Choi Keeryong 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
This article investigates the ambiguity inherent in an individual’s cultural interpretation of belonging. The research has explored this ambiguity through exploring the viewers’ visual experiences of and responses to a series of experimental craft objects designed to stimulate a state of unhomeliness (termed ‘the aesthetics of the cultural uncanny’). Based on Freud’s essay on the ‘Uncanny’, and Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of the ‘cultural uncanny’ and the ‘ambivalence’ of culture in postcolonial societies, the research has examined the feelings of unease evoked when viewing the glass artwork comprising invented typography and forms. The aim is to understand better the relationship of the representation and consumption of objects and the ways in which taste and value contribute to our understanding of our cultural perceptions. The proposition is that inducing a cultural uncanny state and provoking a range of sensitivities and feelings can be used as a powerful tool in artistic practice to promote awareness of stereotyping and its consequences on an individual’s cultural understanding. The research was conducted as part of the author’s Ph.D. study at the University of Edinburgh. It used design probes as well as photographic documentation and a series of interviews conducted with six families and one single participant: four families in South Korea, two families in Britain, and a single participant in the United Kingdom. The interviews provided in-depth understanding, which enabled the analysis and critique of the artworks in relation to the cultural discourse inherent in creative practice.
Temple cloth to textile craft: The progression of Kalamkari (Vraatapani) of Srikalahasti
Authors: Divakala Malini , Muthian Vasantha 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Kalamkari, a name that signifies the art of patterning with natural dyes, is popular within the traditional textile domain. While it exists in painted and printed form this paper sets out to inform about the painted style of Kalamkari practised at the temple town of Srikalahasti in Andhra Pradesh. Once a vital part of temple tradition, this art of painted temple cloths has faced challenges to remain existent. The art would have been lost in time but for its timely revival in the year 1957. Following its revival the practice found support from its application on fabrics and was transformed into a craft with a decorative and utilitarian value. This transformation of Kalamkari facilitated its advancement as a prospective sustainable textile craft. The study reflects on its current position within the Indian textile market based on the experiences of the artists who continue to practise and sell their work for use in different contexts of apparel and interior accessories. The research is the result of the adoption of a case study methodology coupled with a quantitative approach through a questionnaire to gauge the extent of current practice at Srikalahasti The article highlights the aesthetic, utilitarian and market-oriented changes that Kalamkari has experienced under the influence of modern urban markets as the Kalamkari artists attempt to remain relevant and sustain this craft tradition.
Case study: Moses, Mods and Mr Fish: An exhibition on men’s fashion at the Jewish Museum London
Authors: Selby Elizabeth 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Moses, Mods and Mr Fish: The Menswear Revolution was an exhibition staged from March to June 2016 at the Jewish Museum London. It explored the contribution made by Jewish-owned companies to the development of high street menswear in Britain from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth century. This article will explore the challenges faced by a non-fashion museum in developing the exhibition, such as the difficulties in sourcing historical ready-to-wear clothing and associated objects for display from museums, company archives and private lenders. The museum’s objective of creating an exhibition with broad appeal will also be discussed, particularly the aim of attracting a young audience interested in fashion and design through a particular approach to exhibition design, interpretation methods and marketing.

Heritage schools: A lens through which we may better understand citizenship and citizenship education
Authors: Reed Beatrice Szczepek , Said Fatma , Davies Ian 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Heritage schools are part-time community-based educational institutions offering language and cultural education. In this article we recognize that the UK government is keen to promote diverse, enterprising, community-based educational action and, simultaneously, keen to promote a particular values-based national identity. In general terms, we would expect Heritage schools to be supported for their contribution to communities and as an example of enterprise, but they are instead viewed by the government with suspicion. Following introductory comments, the bulk of the article is given over to an identification of and discussion about seven tensions in debates about Heritage schools that illuminate thinking and practice about aspects of citizenship and citizenship education. Our argument is that by considering these tensions we can illuminate the nature of citizenship and character education. We address two fundamental and contextual tensions by looking at general issues of freedom and control in educational policy and the characterization of Heritage schools. We then discuss five other tensions to do with equality, diversity, achievement, language education and finally the teaching and learning of citizenship and character.
Inuit Art: Canada’s Soft Power Resource to Fight Communism
Authors: Vorano Norman 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Focusing on publicly funded international travelling exhibitions of Inuit art during the 1950s and 1960s, this article examines how Canadian civil servants came to recognize contemporary Inuit art as a ‘soft power resource’, an attractive cultural force with moral authority in the international arena, which they could use to fight communism as part of the cultural Cold War. The article takes into consideration how the discourses of modernism and primitivism shaped the reception of Inuit sculpture in Eastern Europe, and the way those discourses had political resonances that coincided with the government’s policy of validating the nationalist aspirations of Europeans while sharing carefully mediated glimpses of Canadian life, among other objectives. Seeking to understand how Joseph Nye’s concept of a ‘soft power resource’ can provide a useful way of understanding the reshaping of Canada’s cultural policies after World War II, specific reference is made to the ways that Indigenous arts were entangled in Canada’s foreign objectives during this era.

‘We are all one Grizabella’: Prostitution, Theology and the cult of Cats in Japan
Authors: Chandler David 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Cats has been extraordinarily successful in Japan since its first performance in Tokyo in 1983. Although the Japanese have responded warmly to the purely entertaining aspects of the musical, from the beginning they have been encouraged to find a deep meaning in it, too. This meaning is centred on Grizabella, called an ‘old prostitute’ in the Japanese translation. This article reviews the evidence for identifying Grizabella as a prostitute, the way this has only slightly registered in western criticism, the cultural factors which may have affected her explicit identification as a prostitute in Japan, and the elaborate interpretative apparatus Japanese critics have erected around the cat elevated to the status of a ‘sacred prostitute’ by Masayuki Ikeda, Japan’s most influential commentator on Cats. In conclusion, it is suggested that this study shows how even carefully ‘cloned’ musicals can develop distinctly different meanings despite the systems of controls designed to produce uniformity.
Musicals as cultural collisions: Introduction to the 2016 ATHE Bruce Kirle Memorial Emerging scholars papers in music theatre/dance
Authors: Hecht Stuart J. 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Each year the Music Theater and Dance Focus Group of the Association for Theater in Higher Education (ATHE) sponsors the Bruce Kirle Memorial Emerging Scholars panel at its annual conference, held this year in Chicago. The winning panellists present their work at the conference before revising their papers for publication in Studies in Musical Theatre. This year’s panellists Elyse Singer, Arianne Johnson Quinn and Hyewon Kim present their articles on the following pages, introduced in this short essay by the ATHE conference’s respondent, Stuart J. Hecht. In his essay, Hecht considers how American musicals initially featured escapist spectacle that often meant placing action in foreign settings, apart from everyday experience. Composers and lyricists responded by writing songs that incorporated strands of other nations and cultures but which did not alienate American playgoers’ expected musical norms. Many leading composers and the New York audience were assimilated children of immigrants, so productions of such operettas offered reassuring nostalgia along with escapist plots. Rodgers and Hammerstein transformed this dynamic in their productions, assigning larger issues to exotic locales, preaching liberal values of social justice. They and their peers felt comfortable creating foreign settings, places they themselves might never have known, for the entertainment and enlightenment of New York playgoers. In the years following the Second World War American musicals found currency touring England and then beyond, signalling European acceptance of American culture and political might. By century’s end the exportation of culture for prestige was increasingly replaced by American culture as commodity, alongside sales of goods. Yet American musicals have always embodied democracy, as such shows promote diversity and hope. Hence the global exportation of musicals promotes American values as much as American merchandise. The article goes on to introduce the articles of our three debut scholars, placing their essays within this larger historical and cultural context.
The internationalization of higher education in the UAE and the implications for undergraduate students’ institutional choice for postgraduate studies
Authors: David Solomon Arulraj 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Higher education in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has expanded significantly over the previous two decades, largely shaped by the dynamics of internationalization. The higher education sector in the UAE includes federal/regional governments, and domestic and foreign private institutions. This study, conducted in 2016, aims to explore the implications of the internationalization of higher education for students’ institutional choice at postgraduate level. I collected quantitative data from 160 students and qualitative data from 40 students, all of whom were undertaking undergraduate programmes in the UAE. The results of the study indicate undergraduate students had mixed reasons for choosing an institution for their postgraduate studies; however, these reasons were more specific in relation to foreign universities and universities offering foreign curricula, including the presence of international faculty members, the opportunity to study foreign curricula, to gain international/joint degrees and the belief that these institutions offered greater global opportunities. This study highlights the potential challenges for federal and non-federal public institutions in attracting postgraduate students, particularly international students. In addition, the study indicates that the emergence of foreign and private higher education institutions in the UAE enhances the quality of higher education by raising competition between institutions.
Polskie szkolnictwo wyższe wobec studentów nietradycyjnych. Strategie uczelni w obszarze kształcenia dorosłych jako problem badawczy
Authors: Anielska Agnieszka 
Published: April 2017

Celem artykułu jest analiza wyzwań stojących przed instytucjami szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce w kontekście rozwoju form kształcenia całożyciowego (lifelong learning), m.in. studiów podyplomowych. Edukacja całożyciowa, w tym również ta ukierunkowana na nietradycyjnych studentów, staje się jednym z najbardziej dynamicznie rozwijających się obszarów kształcenia realizowanych przez uczelnie w całej Europie. Jego rola w działalności podmiotów edukacji wyższej to problem, który na polskim gruncie wydaje się wciąż stosunkowo słabo rozpoznany, a przynajmniej nie rozpoznany w stopniu proporcjonalnym do jego (rosnącego) znaczenia. W dostępnych źródłach brakuje odrębnego, systemowego spojrzenia na ten poziom kształcenia, choć stanowi on coraz istotniejszy element funkcjonowania różnego typu instytucji edukacyjnych (zwłaszcza niepublicznych). Niniejszy artykuł stara się wypełnić istniejącą lukę, pokazując zarówno rosnące znaczenie lifelong learning na poziomie polityki publicznej, jak również zarysować istotną, lecz niezbadaną dotąd problematykę odmiennych strategii instytucjonalnych w tym obszarze.
Multi-Period Water Network Synthesis for Eco Industrial Parks considering Regeneration and Reuse
Authors: Bishnu Sumit , Linke Patrick , Alnouri Sabla , El-Halwagi Mahmoud 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
A multi-period planning approach for water reuse and regeneration networks in Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs) is presented. The objective of the optimization problem is to determine the lowest network cost design for such systems, by taking into account an entire planning horizon. A source-to-sink mapping approach has been proposed to formulate the multi-period planning problem. Water sources can either be allocated to water sinks, treatment units or discharged to environment. Freshwater streams and treated water are made available to mix with water sinks to enable reuse between plants. Waste water is allowed to be discharged into environment at threshold contaminant levels. The problem has been illustrated initially with two-stage centralized treatment unit, then by considering a hybrid treatment setup consisting of both centralized and decentralized options. The results obtained indicate considerable cost reductions, when compared to those developed separately for each individual period. Moreover, a decrease in the complexity of the water networks has also been observed, when simultaneously considering the entire planning horizon.
Distinct Neural Properties in the Low-Frequency Region of the Chicken Cochlear Nucleus Magnocellularis
Authors: Wang Xiaoyu , Hong Hui , Brown David H. , Sanchez Jason Tait , Wang Yuan 
Published: April 2017

AbstractTopography in the avian cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM) is represented as gradually increasing characteristic frequency (CF) along the caudolateral-to-rostromedial axis. In this study, we characterized the organization and cell biophysics of the caudolateral NM (NMc) in chickens (Gallus gallus). Examination of cellular and dendritic architecture first revealed that NMc contains small neurons and extensive dendritic processes, in contrast to adendritic, large neurons located more rostromedially. Individual dye-filling study further demonstrated that NMc is divided into two subregions, with NMc2 neurons having larger and more complex dendritic fields than NMc1. Axonal tract tracing studies confirmed that NMc1 and NMc2 neurons receive afferent inputs from the auditory nerve and the superior olivary nucleus, similar to the adendritic NM. However, the auditory axons synapse with NMc neurons via small bouton-like terminals, unlike the large end bulb synapses on adendritic NM neurons. Immunocytochemistry demonstrated that most NMc2 neurons express cholecystokinin but not calretinin, distinct from NMc1 and adendritic NM neurons that are cholecystokinin negative and mostly calretinin positive. Finally, whole-cell current clamp recordings revealed that NMc neurons require significantly lower threshold current for action potential generation than adendritic NM neurons. Moreover, in contrast to adendritic NM neurons that generate a single-onset action potential, NMc neurons generate multiple action potentials to suprathreshold sustained depolarization. Taken together, our data indicate that NMc contains multiple neuron types that are structurally, connectively, molecularly, and physiologically different from traditionally defined NM neurons, emphasizing specialized neural properties for processing low-frequency sounds.
Working Time and Role Strains of Research and Teaching Staff in a Modern Russian University
Authors: Abramov Roman , Gruzdev Ivan , Terentev Evgeniy 
Published: April 2017

The article touches upon the changes in roles within the academic profession in Russia arising from the education and science reform. The analysis is made through the example of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). Both quantitative and qualitative data is used to suggest a typology of faculties based on their work time allocation. The typology includes five types of faculties: teacher researchers, teachers, researchers, “universal soldiers”, and experts. Different types show different levels of atisfaction with their work time budget: those who do a lot of teaching and administrative work tend to be less satisfied. This can be explained by the changes in the system of faculty certification in Russia and by how academic staff responds to those changes. Interview results are used to highlight the typical work time allocation problems faced by faculties. Those include a low degree of freedom to manage one’s own work time, the lack of boundary in work-life balance, excessive teaching load, an increase in unscheduled tasks, and the problem of workload delegation requiring high research and management skills.
