Early adopters of perioperative medicine: who are they and what motivates them?
Authors: Groves C , Whiteman A , Kumar G , Stephens R , Walker D 
Published: November 2017

Perioperative medicine is an emerging specialty aimed at improving outcomes in the high-risk surgical population. The authors set out to characterize the demographics and determine the motivation of ‘early adopters’ of this specialty by retrospectively reviewing the application forms of students enrolled on the UCL Perioperative Medicine Masters Programme. A total of 139 applications were reviewed. The median age of applicants was 35 years; 81% were UK based, with the remainder from a worldwide distribution. Seventeen per cent were consultant anaesthetists and 64% anaesthetic trainees, with the remainder including doctors from other specialties (17%) and nurses (2%). Qualitative analysis using grounded theory methodology revealed common motivational themes: the belief that perioperative medicine would lead to better patient care, that it represents the future working practice for anaesthetists, a desire to be able to better lead local developments, and personal fulfilment and benefit. The responses provided insight into the motivation of an international cohort of professionals. Perioperative medicine was perceived as a developing multidisciplinary specialty that will lead to better patient care. Applicants understood the importance of perioperative care extending beyond the operating theatre which may explain the growing demand for training in perioperative medicine.

In their report, delegates of the Who Decides? workgroup of the OSI2016 conference put forth three proposals in which key stakeholders might convene to enact an economically viable and sustainable transformation of the current scholarly communications system to one of open access. The “Global Flip” workgroup of OSI2017 discussed the previous year’s “Proposal 3: Transformation: a “global flip” of research journals to open access” in which “libraries, publishers, and funders, convened by an organization with global standing, come together to redirect subscription funding toward transforming existing journals to open access publication.” Tasked with creating broad action plans for further research into the feasibility and impact of such a transformation, we identify a number of driving forces in the envisioned transformation, which could be further developed to assure its ultimate success as well as possible barriers to its desired fruition and suggested actions to remove them.
Trajectories of transition: Economies and geographies of theatre in contemporary Athens
Authors: Hager Philip 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this article, I trace institutional transitions that have framed, produced and hosted theatre in Athens during the last four decades. In doing so, I seek to devise a methodology that examines the city’s changing theatrical landscapes against the backdrop of Metapolitefsi’s trajectories of transition and the post-2010 in-crisis permutations. Subsequently, I pursue a twofold argument: first, I observe the ways in which state subsidies forged theatrical economies that contributed to the shaping of Athens’ geographies; and by focusing on the example of the Onassis Cultural Centre, I propose that a key marker of change is a move towards an ethic of hospitality, concurrent with the systematization of the economies of debt in Greek society.
Cartographies of gender in contemporary Greek theatre: A work in progress?
Authors: Rosi Lina 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The article explores some ways in which Greek theatre production during the last 30 years has engaged with gender politics. Most theatre historians and critics agree that the impact of second-wave feminism was rather insubstantial in the context of Greek theatre, and despite the presence of women in fields such as acting, playwriting, set and costume design and directing, there is no trace of a collective effort to develop a tradition of feminist playwriting and theatre practice. Discussing selected works by women playwrights in the light of the reception of feminist thought in Greece from the early years of Metapolitefsi until today, my intention is to trace the different trends of feminist dramaturgies and their genealogies. The first trend refers to plays that expose and discuss issues related with the everyday experience of women and that, in their majority, adopt a realist aesthetic; the second includes women-centred works that adopt a more experimental dramatic style and use intertextuality in order to turn to history, myth or popular legends; and the third refers to the form of the monologue as a distinctive genre carrying a strong feminist dimension.
Looking Back on Six Years of Service as an Officer
Authors: Cesa Mark 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The Past President has an opportunity to write a column for Chemistry International near the end of his or her term, looking back on six years of service as an Officer of the Union and taking stock of the Union’s accomplishments during that time. It is a particular pleasure for me to do this because all of our volunteers, leaders and staff have accomplished an outstanding number of important achievements that have strengthened and vitalized IUPAC in that time. I would like to take a look at what everyone has accomplished during the last six years—we have come a long way—and what lies ahead.
No Deal: Donald Trump’s Leadership of Congress
Authors: Edwards III George C. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Donald Trump entered office with aspirations for transformational policy change, much of which would have to be approved by Congress. So far, he and his supporters have been disappointed. Despite the president’s many unique characteristics, we can employ the framework of the president’s strategic position to explain the president’s lack of success. The president’s opportunity structure was mixed. Lacking a mandate but fortunate to serve in a unified government, Trump overestimated his public support, which was low, and Republican cohesion, which was imperfect. He also underestimated the impact of partisan polarization and Democratic opposition, which was strong. Moreover, the president lacked a strategic plan of his own, had few substantive proposals, and demonstrated little skill in garnering support.
President Trump and Congressional Republicans: Uncertain Teamwork in the 115th Congress
Authors: Pearson Kathryn 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
To what extent have Republicans in Congress unified to work with President Trump, and what are the prospects for unity going forward? These questions are not as straightforward as they may seem given that the President is not deeply engaged in the policymaking process, he often reverses his positions, and he is prone to criticizing his most important partners in governing – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan – eroding trust among members of his own party and diminishing Republicans’ prospects for passing their legislative priorities. In this analysis, I assess President Trump’s relationship with Republicans in the House and Senate; internal unity and divisions among Republicans; Republicans’ lack of success in enacting significant policy priorities prior to the August recess; the limited (but potentially growing) prospects for bipartisan cooperation; and the outlook for the remainder of the 115th Congress.
The Struggle to Govern in the Trump White House: Competing Power Centers, Personalities, and World Visions The First 7 Months
Authors: Warshaw Shirley Anne 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Modern presidencies are characterized by the coherent White House staff that seamlessly move from the campaign into the White House to implement the new president’s agenda. Campaign staff built the policy agenda during the months-long if not years-long campaign, revised it to meet political demands at every juncture, and entered their White House offices with a clear view of how to achieve the campaign’s goals. In contrast, few members of the Trump White House staff moved from the campaign into the White House which soon became plagued by multiple power centers and limited agreement on the president’s broad agenda. In general, the Trump staff were unknown to each other and held quite different world visions, varying from extreme nationalists to globalists. This research examines the multiple power centers, the power voids, and the tools of power exercised in the White House. By the end of the first 7 months, the decision process had moved from groupthink to multiple advocacy to the coalition presidency.
A Novel Proposal for All-Optical OR/AND Gate Using Nonlinear Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
Authors: Geraili Mohammad Reza , Hosseini Seyed Ebrahim 
Published: November 2017

AbstractIn this paper, we aim to design an all-optical structure that can be employed as optical OR/AND logic gates. To do so, a nonlinear photonic crystal-based ring resonator will be designed whose resonant wavelength depends on the variation of optical intensity. Then, by adding some optical waveguides, the optical logic circuit structure will be obtained that can function as optical OR/AND logic gates. The maximum time delay for the proposed structure is about 1.5 ps. Total footprint of the proposed structure is about 372 mm2. The proposed structure has lower time delay, lower footprint and lower optical input power compared with previously proposed structures.
Impact of nanoparticles on flow of a special non-Newtonian third-grade fluid over a porous heated shrinking sheet with nonlinear radiation

Published: November 2017

Abstract
This research peruses the characteristics of heat and mass transfern of a special non-Newtonian third-grade fluid over a porous convectively-heated shrinking sheet filled with nanoparticles. The Buongiorno model is used for the special non-Newtonian third-grade fluid that includes both the Brownian motion and the thermophoresis effects with non-linear radiation. The nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations are obtained using a suitable transformation. The converted system of equations are then numerically solved using shooting method. The numerically-obtained results for the skin friction, local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number as well as velocity profile, temperature distribution and concentration of nanoparticle are illustrated for different physical parameters through graphs and tables. On the behalf of the whole studies, final conclusions are made and it is observed that multiple solutions are achieved for certain values of the suction parameter. Further, the non-Newtonian parameter reduces the velocity of the fluid and increases the temperature and the concentration profiles for the first solution while the reverse trend is seen for the second solution. Finally, a comparative analysis is made through previous studies in limiting cases and shown good correlation.
La nature de la signification: idéalité et plurivocité
Authors: Bordron Jean-François 
Published: November 2017

AbstractWe seek to understand the notion of meaning as Greimas has developed it in his work. In the first part, we seek the origin of this concept in linguistic and phenomenological sources of his thought. To this end, we confront Husserl’s phenomenological conception of meaning and Saussure’s linguistic conception, as a backdrop to our investigation. Secondly, we consider more specifically the thesis of the ideality of the semiotic fact as Greimas conceived it. We also compare the thesis of the ideality of meaning in Husserl and the thesis of semiotic ideality in Greimas.

Anti-candidal effect of endophytic fungi isolated from Calotropis gigantea
Authors: Nath Archana , Joshi Santaram 
Published: November 2017

Candida albicans is a most common cause of fungal infections in animals and birds. Understanding the increasing resistance of C. albicans to various antifungal therapeutic agents is important to discover new anti-candidal alternatives. The present study investigated the anti-candidalpotential of five endophytic fungi extracts, isolated from the tropical ethnoveterinary plant, Calotropis gigantea. We firstly evaluated the in vitro antifungal activities of endophytic fungi extracts by the well diffusion method. Secondly, the cells of C. albicans were treated with the potent extract to observe significant ultrastructural changes. To further investigate the in vivo antifungal activity of the extract, some laboratory experiments with mice were undertaken, and posteriourly, the different organs were studied under the electron microscope for any deformities. Phomopsis asparagi showed the best anti-candidal activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 46.9 µg/mL. The fungal test pathogen (C. albicans) exhibited various cell deformities when treated with the extract of P. asparagi. Histopathological studies of the vital organs of mice treated with the potent fungal extract did not show any significant pathological conditions when viewed under scanning electron microscope. Thus, P. asparagi can be a potential candidate for anti-candidal agents against C. albicans. Future studies will focus on the isolation of the bioactive components of the extract.
The relationship between forest fragmentation and the potential geographical distribution of psittacids (Psittaciformes: Psittacidae) in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

Published: November 2017

Parrots are a seriously threatened group because of the illegal pet trade, their habitat fragmentation and the destruction of tropical forests. This study aimed to determine the relationship between forest fragmentation and the geographic potential distribution of parrot species in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The research was carried out in the Mexican portion of the Yucatan Peninsula Biotic region, which includes the states of Campeche, Quintana Roo and Yucatan. We worked with the eight species of psittacids that inhabit the selected areas: Eupsittula nana, Amazona albifrons, Amazona xantholora, Amazona autumnalis, Pionus senilis, Pyrilia haematotis, Amazona oratrix and Amazona farinosa. For these species, we used the potential geographical distribution maps that were obtained through the Maximum Entropy algorithm, published in 2014. To measure the levels of forest fragmentation in the Peninsula, we employed the land use and vegetation maps from series IV (2007-2010) of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography. We calculated different landscape metrics at 100 sites randomly distributed within the predicted presence and absence areas for the species. Multivariate methods were used to shorten dimensionality in the analysis, as well as to explore the observed patterns. We did not find any pattern regarding the number of variables that contribute to the logistic regression models (LR) and the size of the parrots’ potential geographical distribution area within the Peninsula. For Pyrilia haematotis and Amazona oratrix, the fragmentation variables used did not seem to have any relationship with their potential geographical distribution in the Peninsula (intersection, Pr < 0.0001). Only for Eupsittula nana, Amazona xantholora and Pionus senilis, we found that the mean patch edge, the mean shape index and the mean perimeter-area ratio were important to determine their potential distribution patterns, respectively; and, in general, the variables indicated the preferences of these parrots to occupy larger habitat patches. Parrots must be given a special care and protection within the states of Campeche and Quintana Roo, since there are areas with high parrot diversity and are importantly affected by human activities. The best recommendation for managers and users of protected areas within the Yucatan Peninsula is that extensive areas of forest should be maintained in order to guarantee the suvival of psittacid populations.

Abstract: With the development of laparoscopic adrenalectomy, indications for resection gradually span from small and benign to bigger and even malignant lesions. We studied the results of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for giant (>10 cm) adrenal tumors in three cases. Three patients (2 female, 1 male, mean age 49.33 years, BMI 31) underwent laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy due to giant (>10 cm) adrenal lesions with a limited size Pfannenstiel incision. Mean operative time was 126.66 minutes, with a mean intraoperative blood loss of 150 ml. Final histology confirmed adrenocortical carcinoma in two cases, and neurofibroma in one case. Mean hospital stay was 4 days, without perioperative complications. R0 resection was carried out in all cases. During a mean follow-up period of 24 months no local or distant metastasis occurred. Under appropriate conditions adrenalectomy performed by the laparoscopic transperitoneal technique for giant malignant tumors proved to be a safe method fulfilling oncological requirements.

Abstract: Introduction and aim: The birth prevalence of congenital malformations is around 2-3%. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of ultrasound diagnostics in detecting congenital malformations. Method: We have processed the prenatal sonographic and postnatal clinical details of 1867 inborn abnormalities in 1200 fetuses over a 7-year period. Results: The mean maternal age upon delivery/abortion was 29.96 ± 5.88 years. In 671 cases, the pregnancy concluded in delivery with a mean gestational age of 35.26 ± 4.2 weeks and mean weight of 2408.67 ± 944.41g. In case of the 529 abortions the mean gestational age was 19.88 ± 2.53 weeks. Seventy-three fetuses were chromosomally abnormal, while 211 had multiple malformations. Prenatal ultrasound was highly sensitive in the detection of central nervous system and thoracic anomalies in utero (72.65% vs. 67.7% sensitivity). The detection rate was high in case of abdominal (59.58%), urogenital (54.55%), and limb/skeletal (50%) malformations as well. However, the diagnosis of face/neck anomalies was somewhat less efficient (31.85%). Conclusions: In approximately half of the cases, postnatally diagnosed abnormalities coincided with the prenatally discovered congenital malformations. The results have confirmed that ultrasonography plays an important role in diagnosing malformations prenatally but it fails to detect all of the developmental abnormalities.
