Exploring embodied methodologies for transformative practice in early childhood and youth
Authors: Cahill Helen , Coffey Julia , Smith Kylie 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The development of gendered identities during early childhood and youth occurs in a context of ‘body culture’ and the hyper-visibility of ‘perfect’ bodies, which align with traditional gender ideals. Embodied methods can assist to make complexity more visible, and to allow participants to see fluidity, shifts, and becoming. Whilst there has been significant theoretical development, further methodological innovations are needed to enable children and youth to articulate their perceptions of the way multiple influences shape their relations with their own bodies. Informed by ‘new materialist’ feminist theory this article will examine the work of Australian educators exploring use of creative and embodied drama-based play. The chapter advances methodologies to support pedagogical engagement with young children and youth about gender, identity and social change. The authors explore how embodied creative play can be used across ages to support children and young people to articulate the ways social norms and expectations influence their desires, imaginings, fears and actions and their perceptions of what is possible, desirable or appropriate in relation to performances of gender in their everyday worlds.
(IR)Reverently Telling the Otherness through Paratextual Narrative
Authors: Morosan Nicoleta-Loredana 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
An inherent component of relocation narratives is the description of the protagonists’ process of building up their intercultural competence - whose range will vary from one expatriate narrator to another. Closely connected to all the four types of cultural intelligence (CQ), in general, and to the metacognitive CQ, in particular, the account of the sojourn in foreign lands conjures up a raft of reflections on what exactly gives one the sense of cultural belonging. Noticing the difference, analysing it, integrating or dismissing it are as many steps taken during/after cross-cultural interactions. This paper addresses the verbalisation of the cultural differences in accounts that sometimes embrace and other times reject them, by resorting to risqué language in snide remarks meant to perform an evaluation of the received ideas in relation to both the native and the host country of the expatriate. The corpus examined is the construction of the paratext prefiguring the spot-on satire comprised by the text.

Abstract

Background
In order to increase the effectiveness of cancer treatment, new compounds with potential anticancer activities are synthesized and screened. Here we present the screening of a new class of compounds, 1-(2-picolyl)-, 4-(2-picolyl)-, 1-(2-pyridyl)-, and 4-(2-pyridyl)-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazolium salts and ‘parent’ 1,2,3-triazole precursors.

Methods
Cytotoxic activity of new compounds was determined by spectrophotometric MTT assay on several tumour and one normal cell line. Effect of the selected compound to bind double stranded DNA (ds DNA) was examined by testing its influence on thermal stability of calf thymus DNA while its influence on cell cycle was determined by flow cytometric analysis. Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by addition of specific substrate 5-(and-6)-chloromethyl-2’,7’-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, acetyl ester (CM-H2DCFDA).

Results
Parent triazoles were largely inactive, while some of the triazolium salts were highly cytotoxic for HeLa cells. Triazolium salts exhibited high cell-type dependent cytotoxicity against different tumour cells. Selected compound (4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-1-(2-picolyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazolium hexafluorophosphate(V) (2b) was significantly more cytotoxic against tumour cells than to normal cells, with very high therapeutic index 7.69 for large cell lung carcinoma H460 cells. Additionally, this compound was similarly cytotoxic against parent laryngeal carcinoma HEp-2 cells and their drug resistant 7T subline, suggesting the potential of this compound in treatment of drug resistant cancers. Compound 2b arrested cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. It did not bind ds DNA, but induced ROS in treated cells, which further triggered cell death.

Conclusions
Our results suggest that the ‘click’ triazolium salts are worthy of further investigation as anti-cancer agents.
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose and 18F-flumazenil positron emission tomography in patients with refractory epilepsy
Authors: Hodolic Marina , Topakian Raffi , Pichler Robert 
Published: August 2016

Abstract

Background
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by epileptic seizures as a result of excessive neuronal activity in the brain. Approximately 65 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy; 20–40% of them are refractory to medication therapy. Early detection of disease is crucial in the management of patients with epilepsy. Correct localization of the ictal onset zone is associated with a better surgical outcome. The modern non-invasive techniques used for structural-functional localization of the seizure focus includes electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). PET/CT can predict surgical outcome in patients with refractory epilepsy. The aim of the article is to review the current role of routinely used tracer 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) as well as non routinely used 18F-Flumazenil (18F-FMZ) tracers PET/CT in patients with refractory epilepsy.

Conclusions
Functional information delivered by PET and the morphologic information delivered by CT or MRI are essential in presurgical evaluation of epilepsy. Nowadays 18F-FDG PET/CT is a routinely performed imaging modality in localization of the ictal onset zone in patients with refractory epilepsy who are unresponsive to medication therapy. Unfortunately, 18F-FDG is not an ideal PET tracer regarding the management of patients with epilepsy: areas of glucose hypometabolism do not correlate precisely with the proven degree of change within hippocampal sclerosis, as observed by histopathology or MRI. Benzodiazepine-receptor imaging is a promising alternative in nuclear medicine imaging of epileptogenic focus. The use of 11C-FMZ in clinical practice has been limited by its short half-life and necessitating an on-site cyclotron for production. Therefore, 18F-FMZ might be established as one of the tracers of choice for patients with refractory epilepsy because of better sensitivity and anatomical resolution.

Trophic relationships between people and resources: fish consumption in an artisanal fishers neighborhood in Southern Brazil
Authors: Castro Maísa Sousa , Martins Ivan Machado , Hanazaki Natalia 
Published: August 2016

The study of dietary consumption is important to understanding the relationship between eating habits and natural resources, which may reflect adjustments and adaptations demanded by local environmental changes. This study aimed to understand the trophic relationships between the local families’ diets and the ichthyofauna present in an urban neighborhood of artisanal fishers in southern Brazil (Tijucas, Santa Catarina). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews in 88 households who reported the consumption of 62 types of fish, where the most consumed were the mullet (Mugil spp.) and croaker (Micropogonias furnieri). Fish is still an important source of animal protein for local families. Preferences and aversions observed can be explained by the relationship between environmental factors and cultural aspects that relate to the economic and social context of the community. In the last decade fish consumption was affected by local immigration and by contextual changes affecting local fisheries.
Female University Students Respond to Gender Violence through Dialogic Feminist Gatherings
Authors: Puigvert Lidia 
Published: August 2016

Within the framework of the "Free_Teen_Desire" research project led by the University of Cambridge and funded by the programme Marie Curie Actions[i], a survey was conducted. Vignette-Test data for 127 female university students (ages 18-27 years) in Spain reveals that the wish to hook up with a violent young man significantly decreases after a gathering on the topic of the Mirage of Upward Mobility, a successful programme elaborated in Dialogic Feminism (Butler, Beck & Puigvert, 2003). In the pre-test,Â 78.4%Â of the respondents stated that their female friends wouldÂ likeÂ to hook up with a violent man at a party, while this percentage decreased to 38.5% when they responded concerning themselves. After the pre-test, there was a one-hour gathering and debate. The subsequent post-test revealed that only 48.8%Â of the respondents stated that their female friends wouldÂ likeÂ to hook up with a violent man at a party, and 14.9% of the respondents made the same statement concerning themselves. The survey presented pictures of four men accompanied by a short explanation of their characters. The explanations of man 1 and man 3 included sentences that describe behaviours characterized as gender violence in previous international surveys (Banyard et al., 2005; Fisher, Cullen, & Turner, 1999; Gross et al., 2006; Kalof et al., 2001). The descriptions of man 2 and man 4 only included non-sexist behaviours. The data did not significantly change when we exchanged the pictures of man 2 and man 4 in the instrument with the pictures of the men with violent profiles and then administered the post-test. For different groups of respondents, the period between the pre-test and the gathering as well as between the gathering and the post-test were changed from fifteen minutes to one and two weeks. In all cases, we obtained similar results for the pre- and post-tests. However, additional research is required to demonstrate how long the effect of the gathering endures and to identify the processes that can increase or decrease the effect over time.[i]This project received funding from the European Unionâ€™s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 659299.
A Thing-Oriented Perspective of Ancient Indian Philosophy
Authors: Britto M. John 
Published: August 2016

<em>With the emergence of thing-oriented doctrines in the recent times, there is a gradual shift of attention from human subjects to material objects in the contemporary educational realm. Thing theory and object-oriented ontology, as thing-oriented doctrines, are in equilibrium with their primary concern with things. Both of them are pertinent to each other in multifarious ways. While thing theory is concerned with the significance of things in relation to literature and culture, object-oriented ontology focuses on the centrality of things in philosophy. The study made by thing-oriented scholars divulges that the worth of corporeal things has been overlooked by humans down the ages. However, there are a few instances here and there wherein things were said to gain some attention. This research paper seeks to make a study of how things were understood in the schools of ancient Indian philosophy, and it looks at the views of those schools on things from a thing-oriented perspective. It explores the general philosophy of the Upanishads concerning the reality of things in the world. It also attempts to identify and elucidate the constructive views on things which could be traced in the doctrines of the philosophical schools of the Nyāya, the Vaisheshika, the Sāṃkhya, the Mīmāṃsā and the Cārvāka. These schools’ realist approach to things is contrasted with the monistic idealism of the schools of the Advaita Vedānta and the Yoga. The paper also examines how things are undermined and overmined in ancient Indian philosophy. </em>

Published: August 2016

<em>This article presents an approach to assess and intervene a geriatric and psychiatric mental health hospital client based on a psychodynamic perspective. Psychodynamic theory contributes the idea that social workers choose an approach that supports clients to replicate significant mental health aging experiences. The purpose of this study is to assess whether depressed geriatric clients would respond to psychodynamic assessment to their mental illness and, if so, whether the client respond also to the intervention. A 60-year-old Caucasian, single, and female entered the study. A case illustration is presented that demonstrates the application of psychodynamic approach. </em>

El hombre ante Dios. Razón y testimonio
Authors: Quelas Juan 
Published: August 2016

«Si las ideas pueden esperar, la acción y la vida no esperan, y en su fragua forjamos nuestro destino. También ante Dios»1. Este libro nace de un hecho de palabra que se hace hecho real: «Una cultura y una generación se caracterizan por las palabras a las que otorgan primacía y sitúan en primer plano, pero no menos por aquellas que reprimen y remiten al silencio, dejando de pronunciarlas. Con el silencio intentan eliminarlas primero de su conciencia y luego de la realidad»2. El autor asegura que en la historia se ha pasado de un momento de evidencia social de Dios, a un uso trivial de esa palabra, para finalmente 1 Olegario González de Cardedal, El hombre ante Dios. Razón y testimonio (Salamanca: Sígueme, 2013), 13. 2 Ibíd., 9. desembocar en un olvido. De este hecho (la constatación de que la palabra Dios ha caído en el olvido), nace este libro –porque, a pesar de todo, «hay la palabra Dios»3–, con sus cuatro capítulos: 1) Dios, ¿una pregunta sin respuesta o una respuesta sin pregunta?; 2) El exceso de Dios y nuestro salto al límite; 3) La revelación de Dios y el abismo del amor; 4) Jesucristo: la historia de Dios con el hombre; los sigue en breve epílogo.

Gradientes de empleo intrarregionales en Colombia
Authors: Duran Peralta Julián , Vallejo Mondragón Carlos Federico 
Published: August 2016

Se calcula la tasa (ó gradiente) a la que el empleo desciende conforme aumenta la distancia entre las capitales regionales y los municipios periféricos en Colombia en el año 2005. El empleo en el país se localiza en la parte central, en el sector andino montañoso y en el caribe, por lo tanto, se analiza un conjunto de siete regiones que son las más representativas del país por su nivel de actividad económica. Para medir el gradiente de empleo se estima un modelo log-lin por M.C.O. y se utiliza la información de empleo del Censo DANE del 2005. Los resultados muestran que en cinco de las siete regiones el gradiente es estadísticamente significativo y con signo negativo, por lo que el empleo se reduce a partir de las capitales hacia los municipios distantes. En consecuencia, este cálculo permite establecer en qué regiones el empleo se concentra más en torno a la capital regional, siguiendo el patrón sugerido en la ley de Clarck, dando pie a elementos a considerar en la política de desarrollo regional.

Published: August 2016

En este libro, la doctora en filosofía y ciencias de la educación Claudia del Pilar Vélez, junto con las profesoras Adelina Peña y Reina Saldaña, llevan a cabo, una aproximación diagnóstica de las tendencias que se han venido caracterizando en las prácticas de formación doctoral en educación en Colombia en el transcurrir de los últimos diez años (2000-2010). Este estudio se centró en tres categorías de análisis que obligan a reflexionar, no solo, el proceso que viene atravesando las prácticas de formación doctoral en educación del país, sino también, la educación en los diferentes escenarios de formación del país. Estas categorías de análisis aluden a: El sujeto de la educación contemporánea, formación avanzada e investigación instituida e instituyente. El estudio contó con la revisión y el análisis documental en tres tipos de documentos que subyacen a materiales teóricos, legales e institucionales, que reflejan un panorama en función de las pertinencias, determinaciones y relevancias que emergen, surgen y moldean la educación de nuestros tiempos para comprender el desenvolvimiento de un sujeto de la educación contemporánea.
