The entrepreneurial imperative: Recording artists in extreme metal music proto-markets
Authors: Netherton Jason 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Recent research on recording artist entrepreneurism suggests that ‘emerging music professionals need an entrepreneurial spirit’ and that ‘they need to think like an entrepreneur (even if some don’t like the term) to sustain a career in the diverse fields of the music industries’. If recording artists are now facing pressure to be both creative and entrepreneurial subjects, how does this duality then impact many of the traditional expectations and practices of recording artistry and the institutions that surround them? As a case intended to explore this question, this article will examine recording artist entrepreneurism through the economic and scenic practices occurring in extreme metal music proto-markets. Specifically, analysis will focus on the case of the Australian band Ne Obliviscaris, who were the first extreme metal act to successfully use the online patronage platform Patreon. Ne Obliviscaris’ turn to Patreon is representative of a broader transition towards recording artist entrepreneurism, where new funding and revenue options are impacting the traditional relations between the artist, the record label and the audience. Entrepreneurism is therefore interpreted as an emerging institutional norm of recording artistry, with implications for recording artists’ subjectivity, expectations and social positions.
‘Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, and – which is more – you’ll be a man, my son’: Myths of British masculinity and Britishness in the construction and reception of Iron Maiden
Authors: Spracklen Karl 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
In the years following the end of the Second World War, the British Empire declined as a global, hegemonic power. In the years of this decline, British children were still taught stirring tales and myths of British military might and British fair-play. In this article, I argue that this mythic milieu served as source of inspiration for Iron Maiden’s songs from Iron Maiden (1980) to Somewhere in Time (1986). I show that themes on these albums deliberately reflect and construct this mythic version of Imperial British masculinity. I then explore how the band has continued to play with Britishness globally. I argue that Iron Maiden’s members and creators have constructed their creative art around imagined white, British imperial identities. They have been raised in the ways of the mythic milieu, and serve its hegemonic interest, whether they are conscious of that fact or not.
Transcoding Sexuality: Computational Performativity and Queer Code Practices
Authors: Jackson Gerald Stephen 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Scholarship in the history of computer programming has demonstrated how the contributions of engineers have been erased due to gendered assumptions of labor and science. I argue that such erasure parallels a gendered epistemology of mastery embedded in computer programming itself. Towards this, I extrapolate and refine the concept of “computational performativity,” drawing from media theorists Katherine Hayles and Wendy Chun, to put forth a gender performativity of code. Looking at two queer code art objects—Zach Blas’s transCoder and Julie Levin Russo’s Slash Goggles —as well as production code in the C programming language, I argue for a critical move away from representation as the seat of meaning in code, and towards a performative understanding of gendered code through “contexts of complexity.” Focusing on complexity and interrelationships allows scholars to read code as gendered, and to furthermore leverage such reading to propose and enact queer “failures” in code as rhetorical critiques of software.
Development of a new HPLC method for wogonin in rat plasma: Compatibility of standard and test samples
Authors: Salmani Jumah Masoud Mohammad , Wu Xue , Jacob Joe Antony , Fu Rong , Chen Baoan 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
In the current paper, an HPLC/UV method was developed and validated for determination of wogonin in plasma. Considerable attention was paid to the preparation of standard samples and factors affecting drug distribution. A preparation procedure was devised to simulate the conditions the drug is expected to experience in vivo while pointing to the shortcomings of previously published methods. The method was validated according to the FDA regulations and showed to be highly efficient and capable of extracting the drug and IS from the plasma accurately and precisely within the specified range of 50–500 ng mL−1. Further, the standard sample preparation of this method can be used as a guideline for other methods, particularly when highly hydrophobic drugs with considerable protein binding are involved and could be valuable in the field of bioanalysis to improve the reliability of methods.
Influence of novel oral anticoagulants on anticoagulation care management
Authors: Janzic Andrej , Kos Mitja 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Anticoagulation treatment was recently improved by the introduction of novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs). Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this study explores the effects of the introduction of NOACs on anticoagulation care in Slovenia. Face-to-face interviews with key stakeholders revealed evolvement and challenges of anticoagulation care from different perspectives. Obtained information was further explored through the analysis of nationwide data of drug prescriptions and realization of health care services. Simplified management of anticoagulation treatment with NOACs and their high penetration expanded the capacity of anticoagulation clinics, and consequentially the treated population increased by more than 50 % in the last 5 years. The main challenge concerned the expenditures for medicines, which increased approximately 10 times in just a few years. At the same time, the anticoagulation clinics and their core organisation were not affected, which is not expected to change, since they are vital in delivering high-quality care.
TLR4 polymorphisms seem not to be associated with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes but predispose to diabetic retinopathy; TLR4 polymorphisms in glucose continuum
Authors: Zaharieva ET , Kamenov ZA , Savov AS 
Published: August 2017

Abstract

Objectives. Compared to type 1 diabetes, the role of the immune and autoimmune pathogenetic mechanisms is much less studied in the type 2 diabetes. Toll-like receptors 4 (TLR4) have a leading role in inflammation, insulin resistance, and vascular damage. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the polymorphisms in TLR4 gene and different stages in the glucose continuum from prediabetes to the type 2 diabetes and chronic microvascular complications.

Materials and Methods. The study included 113 patients with the type 2 diabetes, 29 participants with prediabetes, and 28 controls. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for genotyping Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphism, followed by restriction analysis.

Results. The difference in the genotype frequency for both polymorphisms in patients with the type 2 diabetes or prediabetes compared to that in controls was not significant. Patients with heterozygous genotype of Asp299Gly polymorphism had a higher prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (42.9%) than participants with homozygous genotype (9.0%) (OR [95%CI]=7.61 [1.41–41.08]; p=0.018). No association was established for diabetic polyneuropathy and nephropathy. Prevalence of chronic diabetes complications was not related to Thr399Ile polymorphism.

Conclusion. Our study demonstrates that Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms seem not to be associated with the type 2 diabetes and prediabetes but Asp299Gly may contribute to diabetic retinopathy predisposition.
Improving writing in social studies through professional development: Effects on teachers’ beliefs, classroom practice and students’ writing
Authors: van Drie Jannet , Janssen Tanja , Groenendijk Talita 
Published: August 2017

AbstractAlthough academic literacy is an important goal in secondary education, many students struggle with it, particularly with disciplinary writing. There is a need for a closer integration of writing with instruction in subject areas. We designed and implemented a practice-based professional development program aimed at improving teachers’ ability to teach writing within social studies. We distilled five design principles from meta-analyses of effective writing instruction, which teachers (twelve subject- and Dutch Language teachers) used to design lessons in their own classes. Effects of the program on teachers’ beliefs about writing instruction were measured with a questionnaire. Although no changes in beliefs were found, teachers indicated in a learner report that they had learned a lot about integrating writing in their lessons. After six months teachers reported that they felt more able to use the design principles and still used them in their lessons. Three interventions are described in more detail in this paper. Effects on students’ writing and knowledge of writing were measured using pre- and post-writing-tasks. Results showed a significant positive effect for the writing-instruction groups. We conclude that the professional development program enabled teachers to teach disciplinary writing within social studies and to improve students’ writing as well.
Restating the Tort of Battery
Authors: Sugarman Stephen D. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThis article offers a bold proposal: eliminate the intentional tort of battery and merge cases of both the negligent and intentional imposition of physical harm into a single new tort. The advantages of a single tort of wrongfully causing physical harm to persons are many. It would (a) do away with complex and unneeded doctrinal details now contained within battery law, (b) pave the way to a sensible regime of comparative fault for all such physical injuries, (c) properly shift the legal focus away from the plaintiff’s conduct and onto the defendant’s, (d) eliminate the Restatement’s need to supplement battery law with yet a separate intentional physical harm tort when an injury is intentionally caused but without the contact or other requirements of battery, and (e) force courts to decide various collateral issues (like whether punitive damages are available or whether liability insurance coverage is applicable) on their own terms and not by linking them to whether this case involves a battery (and then making exceptions, since it turns out that battery is not a reliable basis for deciding those collateral matters). More broadly, the new tort is intellectually more insightful as it anchors acts that now count as batteries more in their wrongfulness than in their intentionality as battery law does today.
Data Sharing from the Perspective of Faculty in Korea
Authors: Kim Jihyun 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThis study investigated the factors associated with Korean professors’ intentions to openly share data. As Korea does not have an institutional or regulatory framework governing data sharing, understanding the motivations and/or concerns of a Korean faculty might not only provide policy guidance for data-sharing practices in Korea but also help academic libraries of this country develop data management services valuable for researchers. In particular, survey responses from 190 professors and follow-up interviews with eleven faculty members were analyzed and revealed that professors who were more willing to openly share data tended to agree with data reuse conditioned on easy access to others’ data, to have altruistic reasons for data sharing and to be uncertain about repositories and the demand for their data. Professors who were less willing to make data publicly available tended to fear exploitation and to be interested in exchanging data for control of access to such data, for approval of the dissemination of results based on such data, and for co-authorship and collaboration opportunities. The study suggested that policies might be designed to incentivize data sharing by including supporting data citation, allowing data providers to control access to data, and considering ethical issues and various co-authorship practices. It also discussed implications of the findings for academic librarians.
Online Tribes and Digital Authority: What Can Social Theory Bring to Digital Archaeology?
Authors: Richardson Lorna-Jane , Lindgren Simon 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
From early discussions of the disruptive potential of computer technologies for archaeological applications, to the present era of digital archaeology as the technical underpinning of modern archaeological practice, we have continued to debate the potential impacts of digital communication and digital capture and storage on our knowledge, profession and communications. The increased use of digital tools and methods for archaeological research and dissemination, as well as what Roosevelt (2015) has referred to as the shift to the digital paradigm within archaeological practice, leads us to suggest that the impact of this paradigm shift requires careful and critical examination. This article will examine the edges of the disciplines of archaeology and sociology, where we aim to advance our understanding of the relationship between digital technologies and archaeological knowledge from a uniquely social perspective, using the theoretical approaches of both
classic and modern sociologists. The application of this lens of sociology to digital archaeology equips us to understand how archaeology and archaeological practice is situated in a social world, which is especially relevant in the Global West, where digital technology is ubiquitous. Through a critical consideration of the complexity of use of digital technologies within digital archaeology, we can begin to shift our focus away from the character and method of tools and workflow, to the background of intellectual power and influence.
Inflammatory infiltrates in parathyroid tumors

Published: August 2017

ContextInflammatory infiltrates are sometimes present in solid tumors and may be coupled to clinical behavior or etiology. Infectious viruses contribute to tumorigenesis in a significant fraction of human neoplasias.ObjectiveCharacterize inflammatory infiltrates and possible viral transcription in primary hyperparathyroidism.DesignFrom the period 2007 to 2016, a total of 55 parathyroid tumors (51 adenomas and 4 hyperplasias) with prominent inflammatory infiltrates were identified from more than 2000 parathyroid tumors in the pathology archives, and investigated by immunohistochemistry for CD4, CD8, CD20 and CD45 and scored as +0, +1 or +2. Clinicopathological data were compared to 142 parathyroid adenomas without histological evidence of inflammation. Transcriptome sequencing was performed for 13 parathyroid tumors (four inflammatory, 9 non-inflammatory) to identify potential viral transcripts.ResultsTumors had prominent germinal center-like nodular (+2) lymphocytic infiltrates consisting of T and B lymphocytes (31%) and/or diffuse (+1–2) infiltrates of predominantly CD8+ T lymphocytes (84%). In the majority of cases with adjacent normal parathyroid tissue, the normal rim was unaffected by the inflammatory infiltrates (96%). Presence of inflammatory infiltrates was associated with higher levels of serum-PTH (P = 0.007) and oxyphilic differentiation (P = 0.002). Co-existent autoimmune disease was observed in 27% of patients with inflammatory infiltrates, which in turn was associated with oxyphilic differentiation (P = 0.041). Additionally, prescription of anti-inflammatory drugs was associated with lower serum ionized calcium (P = 0.037).ConclusionsNo evidence of virus-like sequences in the parathyroid tumors could be found by transcriptome sequencing, suggesting that other factors may contribute to attract the immune system to the parathyroid tumor tissue.
Diálogo ecumênico, promoção humana e busca da paz
Authors: Gomes Tiago De Fraga 
Published: August 2017

A divisão entre os cristãos é uma realidade dramática. É urgente uma nova concepção identitária que prescinda de uma perspectiva polêmica e apologética, para abraçar uma postura mais fraternal e dialógica. Pensar ecumenicamente, segundo Wolff, requer disposição para entender as razões do outro, para receber críticas e para mudar de opinião caso seja necessário. Convivência, cooperação e diálogo são correlatos de toda ação ecumênica. Geffré propõe algumas condições para o diálogo ecumênico: respeito às diferenças, fidelidade à própria identidade, reconhecimento de certa igualdade entre os interlocutores e busca de pontos em comum sobre os quais se possam estabelecer acordos. Por coerência, os cristãos nunca deveriam renunciar à luta pela justiça, pelos direitos humanos e pela paz, e somente unidos terão chances de persistir nessa empreitada. Segundo Von Sinner, três valores ajudam no empenho ecumênico em busca da paz: confiança, esperança e serviço. A cooperação entre os cristãos no serviço à promoção humana e à busca da paz é o princípio e a culminância do empenho ecumênico.
Edith Stein em diálogo com Hedwig Conrad-Martius na interpretação da teoria do evolucionismo
Authors: Sberga Adair Aparecida 
Published: August 2017

Edith Stein, pesquisadora sobre o conhecimento do ser humano e sua formação, amplia suas abordagens e conhecimentos na análise e discussão com outros teóricos. Dentre esses, confrontase com Hedwig Conrad-Martius, bióloga de grande projeção por suas investigações e publicações, que procuram integrar a pesquisa científica à investigação filosófica, no intuito de olhar a realidade global da natureza para descrever suas origens, estruturas e processo vital. Em seu texto Potência e Ato, Stein se confronta com Conrad-Martius, a partir da sua obra Diálogos Metafísicos e, por meio da sua interpretação e análise crítica, avança na compreensão das dimensões constitutivas da estrutura do ser humano ao compará-lo com os outros seres da natureza. Nesse percurso se depara com a teoria do evolucionismo e, em concordância com Conrad-Martius, afirma que essa deve ser tratada somente como teoria interpretativa e não como verdade, porque muitas das suas afirmações não podem ser comprovadas.
A sociologia econômica de Simmel e Bourdieu: considerações para um programa de pesquisa
Authors: Visser Ricardo 
Published: August 2017

O intento de adentrar algumas das premissas teóricas contidas nos escritoseconômicos de Pierre Bourdieu e Georg Simmel tem como base a compreensãoda importância da investigação sobre práticas e condições econômicas. Ao invésde pressupor, de um lado, que práticas são apenas reflexos inerciais de condiçõeseconômicas, e, de outro, que práticas determinam as condições, mobiliza-se a ideia de uma dinâmica de condicionamento mútuo. Assim sendo, o acesso ao comportamento prospectivo com o dinheiro depende de condições prévias mais ou menos estáveis, permitindo ao agente perceber o uso potencial do dinheiro, não mais circunscrito ao imediato. A reconstrução dos dois autores tem essa preocupação como pano de fundo, buscando contribuir à renovação da teoria de classes.
CARACTERIZAÇÃO DA ATIVIDADE DE CARCINICULTURA NO VALE DO RIO AÇU, RIO GRANDE DO NORTE, BRASIL
Authors: Carvalho Roberto Aurélio Almeida , Martins Pedro Carlos Cunha 
Published: August 2017

Dada a importância social e econômica da carcinicultura para o Nordeste brasileiro e o destaque da Bacia do Rio Açu como polo produtor no Rio Grande do Norte, torna-se importante o levantamento de informações detalhadas sobre esta cadeia produtiva regional, que possam subsidiar ações de gestão visando seu fortalecimento e crescimento sustentável. Este trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar a situação da carcinicultura praticada no Vale do Rio Açu com ênfase na capacidade produtiva, nível tecnológico e geração de empregos diretos.A pesquisa foi realizada através da aplicação de questionário semiestruturado em 20 fazendas de camarão localizadas em 04 municípios potiguares: Macau, Pendências, Carnaubais e Alto do Rodrigues. Segundo os resultados, em 2013 a área total de lâmina d’agua ocupada por viveiros de camarão nas 20 fazendas foi de 1843,7 hectares, produziram 6.294,1 toneladas e geram um total de 661 empregos diretos. As fazendas utilizam águas com salinidades que variam de 0 a 60 g/l, sendo a maior parte delas de médio (35%) e grande porte (45%) e elevado nível tecnológico.Praticamente toda a produção de camarão do Valle do Açu do ano de 2013 foi comercializada no mercado nacional, principalmente para os estados do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. As patologias que afetaram o maior número de fazendas foram IMNV, Vibriose e NHP e WSSV foi considerada a patologia que representava o maior risco futuro para a atividade. Os resultados demonstram que no período estudado a carcinicultura passava por uma fase de reestruturação e crescimento.

Published: August 2017

<p>O objetivo deste artigo é explicitar e discutir a trajetória de reformulações curriculares do curso de Licenciatura em Pedagogia da Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), no período posterior à publicação das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) específicas para os cursos de Pedagogia (BRASIL, 2006) até o momento atual, no qual está em curso a finalização de uma terceira reformulação desde a implantação dessas diretrizes. A primeira foi em 2009 e a segunda em 2012. A atual reformulação tem sido norteada pelas DCN de 2006 e pelas DCN de 2015, que se referem a todos os cursos de licenciatura em vigor no país (BRASIL, 2015). Para tanto o trabalho encontra-se subdividido em três partes: na primeira apresentamos uma análise das DCN para o curso de Pedagogia e das DCN para os cursos de licenciatura, apontando como esse aparato legal tem norteado os cursos de Pedagogia no Brasil e sugerindo encaminhamentos que julgamos adequados na formulação de matrizes curriculares para esses cursos. Na segunda parte tematizamos o percurso do curso de Pedagogia da UFSCar entre as DCN de 2006 e as de 2015. Finalmente, na terceira parte apresentamos algumas questões e ponderações sobre esses processos. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Palavras-chave:</strong> Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais. Curso de Pedagogia.
