THERAPY OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE: Endocrine dilemma: management of Graves’ orbitopathy
Authors: Campi Irene , Vannucchi Guia , Salvi Mario 
Published: April 2016

Management of Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) must be based on the correct assessment of activity and severity of the disease. Activity is usually assessed with the Clinical Activity Score, whereas severity is classified according to a European Group On Graves' Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) consensus statement as mild, moderate-to-severe, and sight-threatening. Myopathic and chronic congestive forms are uncommon clinical presentations of GO. Restoration and maintenance of stable euthyroidism are recommended in the presence of GO.
In moderate-to-severe disease, steroids have been widely employed and have shown to possess an anti-inflammatory activity, but about 20–30% of patients are not responsive and present recurrence. Some novel immunosuppressors have already been employed in clinical studies and have shown interesting results, although the lack of randomized and controlled trials suggests caution for their use in clinical practice. Potential targets for therapy in GO are the thyroid-stimulating hormone and the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor on the fibroblasts, inflammatory cytokines, B and T cells, and the PIK3/mTORC1 signaling cascades for adipogenesis. A recent open study has shown that tocilizumab, an anti-sIL-6R antibody, inactivates GO. Consistent reports on the efficacy of rituximab have recently been challenged by randomized controlled trials.
As the main goal of treatment is the well-being of the patient, the therapeutic strategy should be addressed to better suit the patient needs, more than improving one or more biological parameters. The increasing availability of new therapies will expand the therapeutic options for GO patients and allow the clinician to really personalize the treatment to better suit the patients’ personal needs.
The Unwritten Rules of Mentorship: Facilitators of and Barriers to Effective Mentorship in Pediatric Hospital Medicine

Published: April 2016

OBJECTIVES:Benefits of effective mentorship include career satisfaction and academic productivity. Given the youth of pediatric hospital medicine (PHM), effective mentorship is a widely acknowledged challenge. This study aimed to characterize successful pediatric hospitalists’ past and current mentorship experiences and identify facilitators of and barriers to effective mentorship in PHM.METHODS:Semistructured phone interviews were conducted with peer-nominated pediatric hospitalists, exploring past and current mentorship experiences and approaches perceived to aid or hinder mentorship relationships from both the mentor and mentee perspectives. Interviews were recorded verbatim, professionally transcribed, and analyzed by using a general inductive approach.RESULTS:Sixteen interviews were conducted and transcribed. Participants reported having a median of 3 mentors and 6 mentees. Three themes emerged regarding how mentors can optimize mentorship: (1) comprehensive focus on the mentee, (2) setting of clear expectations, and (3) acknowledgment of mentors’ limitations. Five themes emerged regarding how mentees can optimize mentorship: (1) preparation, (2) proactivity, (3) continual reevaluation of relationships, (4) willingness to seek mentorship outside of common venues, and (5) building of a mentorship team. Major barriers to effective mentorship included (1) mismatched expectations between mentor and mentee, (2) lack of available mentors in PHM, (3) lack of time/compensation for PHM mentors, and (4) geographic separation between mentor and mentee.CONCLUSIONS:Several themes emerged regarding facilitators of and barriers to effective mentorship in PHM. These “unwritten rules of mentorship” may serve as a guide to establish and maintain beneficial mentorship relationships and overcome challenges.
Alcohol-Branded Merchandise Ownership and Drinking
Authors: Jones Sandra C. 
Published: April 2016

CONTEXTS:
Alcohol-branded merchandise (ABM) has a longer shelf-life than other forms of alcohol marketing and the potential to become integrated into children’s self-identities.

OBJECTIVE:
This review sought to explore the current literature on children’s exposure to, and the impact of, ABM.

DATA SOURCES:
PsycInfo, Proquest, Science Direct, and ABI-Inform databases were searched from the earliest available date to May 2015. Additional studies were identified by a manual review of the reference lists of retrieved articles and contacting the corresponding author of each included study.

STUDY SELECTION:
Articles that reported on child or adolescent ownership of ABM and/or the relationship between ABM ownership and drinking were included.

DATA EXTRACTION:
Data on key measures were tabulated; where data of interest were not reported, requests for further information were sent to the articles’ authors.

RESULTS:
Nine cross-sectional and 4 longitudinal studies were identified. ABM ownership ranged from 11% to 59% and was higher among older children and males. Seven cross-sectional studies reported associations between ABM ownership and drinking-related behaviors. All 4 longitudinal studies reported a significant relationship between ownership at baseline and drinking initiation at follow-up.

LIMITATIONS:
The small number of available studies, with different measures of ABM ownership and of associations/effects.

CONCLUSIONS:
The few studies exploring ABM ownership are consistent in showing high rates of ownership and associations between ownership and current and future drinking. There is a need for further research into specific aspects of ABM ownership. However, there is also a need for policy interventions to reduce children’s access to and ownership of ABM.
Effect of ripening stage at harvest, cold storage, and simulated marketing conditions on quality and antioxidant activity of peach fruit

Published: April 2016

The influence of storage time on different quality parameters and in vitro antioxidant activity of peaches cv. Elegant Lady harvested at two ripening stages (immature and commercial mature) and stored under cold and marketing conditions were assessed. Destructive (physical-chemical properties, antioxidant activity, and firmness) and non-destructive parameters (colour and index of absorbance difference, IAD) were assessed.
Storage and ripening stage influenced firmness, colour, and antioxidant activity. Firmness decreased significantly during cold and marketing storage, and skin colour parameters, a* and b*, underwent a deepening of the red hue, while IAD values fully justified differences in colour over storage time and ripening stage. The antioxidant activity increased during storage, although polyphenols and ascorbic acid contents remained constant, and was higher in commercial mature fruit than immature peaches, that revealed a ratio of total sugars/total acids more equilibrated.
In the pursuit of freedom: Art and animals under socialism
Authors: Fowkes Maja , Fowkes Reuben 
Published: April 2016

The experience of socialism and its legacies in Eastern Europe created a specific context for artists’ engagement with animals and their approach to the natural world. The blueprint for building the socialist utopia had spared little concern for the environmental consequences of breakneck industrialisation, with rivers rerouted, landscapes devastated and nature viewed purely as a material resource. The welfare and interests of animals were far down the list of priorities in a system which valorised the proletariat and demanded sacrifices for the glorification of the socialist state. The cruel fate of the world’s first space traveller, Laika the dog, who was sent on a one-way mission into orbit in 1957, was symbolic of official attitudes towards animals under socialism, as well as providing a focus for feelings of empathy from human subjects that felt equally oppressed.
It was in the 1960s that live animals first entered artistic practice through happenings and performances, which occurred in parallel with the neo-avant-garde exodus from studios and galleries to enter public space and natural environments and was part of the utopian drive to abolish the distinction between art and life. However, it was only after the changes brought by the countercultural orientation of 1968, with the emergence of the women’s liberation movement, a new concern for human rights and the rise of ecological thinking that neo-avant-garde artists began to conceptually address the position of the animal. Birds turned out to be particularly appropriate living metaphors to convey the suppressed desire for freedom, as well as offering a way to explore the ethical and environmental dimensions of relations between the human and the animal.
This paper explores changing attitudes and approaches to animals in East European art of the neo-avant-garde during the Long Sixties through an examination of key works by István Harasztÿ from Hungary, Slovak artist Peter Bartoš and Petr Štembera from the Czech Republic, while considering the impact of new thinking about the natural environment across the porous ideological borders of the Cold War. Engagements with the animal were most frequently conceived in metaphorical terms as a means to talk about the human condition which, due to the specific social, historical and political circumstances of the Eastern Bloc, was particularly true of artists living under socialism.
Life is art, art is life: Czech action 1964−1969
Authors: Morganová Pavlína 
Published: April 2016

The death of Stalin in 1953, followed by the denunciation of the cult of personality at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956, led to a certain thaw in the Soviet zones of influence. However, this was a very slow, complex process, well illustrated by the fate of the Stalin monument in Prague. After its demolition in 1962, Czech culture entered the period of the ‘Long Sixties,’ which was actually quite short. Russian tanks entering Prague August 21st, 1968 brought this exciting and promising process to its end.
This text focuses on the development of Czech Happenings and Performance Art, during this short period, questioning the political and sociological situation in which this art developed. Czech artists, both male and female, such as Milan Knížák, Eugen Brikcius, Jan Steklík and Zorka Ságlová, explored the possibilities of newly shifted boundaries between art and life.
Radically personal: The Art of Adriena Šimotová and Maria Pinińska-Bereś
Authors: Jakubowska Agata 
Published: April 2016

One of the important aspects of the art from the 1960s is the gradual emergence of art by women artists that dealt with the feminine experience. As Martina Pachmanová observed, the development of gender perspective in women’s art (she talked about Czech artists but I think we can extend it to refer to other artists from Eastern Europe) has less to do with their conscious political emancipation than it does with their growing reservations toward the dominancy of the canon of modernism. It is especially true in relation to artists born around 1930 and educated shortly after the war. To them and their colleagues these were modernist tendencies that were a medium of freedom. Yet, there are a number of women artists from this generation — such as Adriena Šimotová (born 1926) or Maria Pinińska-Bereś (1931–1999) — for whom modernist frameworks turned out to be too narrow when confronted with their experience. Qualities (both formal and thematic) that are described as ‘feminine’ became a constant element of their artistic language in the 1970s and were recognized as such already by their contemporaries. What I concentrated on in this text is, however, the earlier phase of their artistic development.
In 1965 Adriena Šimotová started to create works in which everyday life was the main subject and a diary-like form dominated. This change corresponded with a turn of many artists toward the new figuration, as a result of dissatisfaction with gradual aestheticisation of informel. What made her art special was a degree of intimacy. Šimotová’s works offered a direct insight into the artist’s private world. She presented its views from the perspective that indicated being inside, experiencing not observing.
In Maria Pinińska-Bereś’s sculptures created around the mid-1960s, references to a female body and sexuality that is being controlled and enslaved started to appear. The artist’s later statements made an autobiographical dimension of these works clear. She pointed out to the necessity of confrontation with the results of her upbringing in the ultra-Catholic family as to its source. In the second half of the 1960s the artists created also works – such as Covers for My Lover (1967) – that had more intimate, erotic character. Development of this thematic was accompanied by formal experiments, e.g. introduction of such materials as linen or burlap, appearance of her handwriting and increased usage of pink. Her sculptures corresponded with a critique of autonomous works of art that could be observed in her artistic milieu, yet, similarly to Šimotová, she differed from her colleagues in her interest in gendered experience of the body and intimate relationships. Their voice — expressed from the margins, as this was where women artists functioned — was radically personal in comparison with that formulated by their colleagues.
Crowd-Sourced Filmmaking: Despair is Your Friend
Authors: Rose Mitchell 
Published: April 2016

If the pilot of a 767 died, could you land the plane while the control tower talked you through it over the radio? I've always been fascinated (obsessed) by the idea of getting people to do complicated things, remotely, via instructions. And that's what I wanted to undertake when I made my new crowd-sourced film, Globe Trot.I got 54 filmmakers in 23 countries (representing all seven continents including Antarctica) to each contribute two seconds of precise footage that I edited together. 15 months of work, resulting in a 3-minute film. A second impetus for this project was experimentation I've been doing the last few years in what we could call "Hyper-Matchcutting"—films where every adjacent edit is perfectly aligned in position and continuity.
Review: The Oxford Handbook of Dance and the Popular Screen, edited by Melissa Blanco Borelli
Authors: Blades Hetty 
Published: April 2016

Dance on screen is by no means a new phenomenon, however the analytic consideration of popular dance on screen is a relatively new addition to dance studies. The Oxford Handbook of Dance and the Popular Screen, edited by Melissa Blanco Borelli, takes Sherril Dodds' seminal work Dance on Screen from 2001 as a point of departure, in order to "establish a body of contemporary readings about dance in a popular screen context."

Published: April 2016

BACKGROUND: Exposure to welding fume in the workplace was associated with lung function disorders and occupational asthma. In this study, we determined lung function parameters in men workers exposed to welding fumes from heavy equipment manufacturer. This study is a preliminary study of biomonitoring program in worker exposed to welding fume as our main study. METHODS: A study with case-control design, random study, was conducted among welder (59 subjects) and non-welder (34 subjects) with more than one year experience in the same job task in a heavy equipment manufacturer. All subjects completed physical examination, informed consent, questionnaire and lung function status. Lung function status was measured by spirometer with vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FCV), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and ratio of FEV1/FVC as test parameters. Linear regression model was developed to identify the risk factor of lung function parameter status using age, working period and smoking status as variables. RESULTS: This study showed that there were significant lower VC, FVC and FEV1 in welder than non-welder, but not difference in ratio of FEV1/FVC. However, there was no significant difference among welder from foundry and fabrication plan. By multivariate analysis, working period was found as a risk factor for lower parameters in lung function among welder. CONCLUSION: Lung function parameters status were significantly lower in welder than non-welder, and working period was the most important indicator for lung function status evaluation among welder. KEYWORDS: vital capacity, VC, forced vital capacity, FCV, forced expiratory volume in one second, FEV1, lung function, ratio of FEV1/FVC, working period

This paper presents a class assignment that incorporated a real-world journal reviewing assignment into an elective doctoral leadership seminar. This manuscript presents an overview of the assignment, journal editor perceptions of the experience, and recommendations for best practices.
A Paradox Within The Time Value Of Money: A Critical Thinking Exercise For Finance Students
Authors: Delaney Charles J. , Rich Steven P. , Rose John T. 
Published: April 2016

This study presents a paradox within the time value of money (TVM), namely, that the interest-principal sequence embedded in the payment stream of an amortized loan is exactly the opposite of the interest-principal sequence implicit in the present value of a matching annuity. We examine this inverse sequence, both mathematically and intuitively, and argue that it provides an excellent exercise for finance students to explore, both to enhance their critical thinking skills as well as to strengthen their understanding of TVM concepts. Additionally, such an exercise will involve them actively in the learning process, as mandated by AACSB International’s Eligibility Procedures and Standards for Business Accreditation.

Authors: Khasu Denis S. , Williams Jr Thomas O. 
Published: April 2016

In this brief article, the reliability of scores for the Draw-A-Person Intellectual Ability Test for Children, Adolescents, and Adults (DAP: IQ; Reynolds & Hickman, 2004) was examined through several analyses with a sample of 147 children from rural Malawi, Africa using a Chichewa translation of instructions. Cronbach alpha coefficients for the 23 test items were calculated for the total sample, the six age groups represented in the sample, and gender. The interscorer reliability of test scores was also calculated. The obtained alpha coefficients for the 23 items for total sample (.81), the six age groups represented (.68 - .92), and gender (male .79, female .83) were comparable to those listed in the examiner’s manual. The coefficient for interscorer reliability was .85.
