Women re-imagining life through art: A/r/tographical discoveries in a community expressive arts studio
Authors: Leake Jena 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
This article introduces an art-based research study reflecting on women’s individual/collective experiences of personal transformation as they engage in visual art-making, writing, storytelling and ritual in a community expressive arts studio. The author shares how she investigated her practice of studio expressive arts therapy, where individual and therapeutic artistic work took place in a relational context through intermodal arts classes. Artist/participants become a community of a/r/tographers, examining the relational aesthetic of studio practice through art-making and writing as well as the creation of an art exhibit and performance ritual. The researcher explores her contiguous roles as artist/researcher/teacher/therapist, disrupting traditional views of therapeutic practice while questioning the role of the arts in healing and community. These re-imaginings invite transdisciplinary considerations of a/r/tography while considering the therapeutic aesthetics of gifting a/r/tographical works to public audiences.
Live wind music within an acute ward for people with dementia
Authors: Richardson Geoffrey , Clare Amy , Stapleton Sally , Wintergold Lawrence 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
This project sought to examine the effects of live music as an intervention to improve the well-being of people with dementia who had been admitted to an acute dementia assessment ward following severe psychological and behavioural distress. The literature search revealed little into the use of a group of musicians, none using a wind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn), and few studies involving a group of wind musicians and people with dementia experiencing severe distress. Measurements were taken using Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) and the Bradford well-being and ill-being profiles. Data collected from individuals with dementia, carers, staff and players provided evidence to show that intervention using live group music had a positive effect upon individuals’ well-being. The number of participants was restricted to twelve – the capacity of the assessment unit – and there was no control group. This pilot study could lead to a larger, controlled research study. The interesting findings were observations of well-being in favour of ill-being in responses to the live music interventions. The precise mechanisms responsible for these affects appear complex, relating to both the musical and socially therapeutic dimensions of the intervention. An important secondary finding related to the positive effect of the whole process on musicians’ development in person-centred skills appropriate for working with people with severe dementia. The project also extended ward staff’s facilitation skills encouraging individuals’ participation in a new situation with a group of players on the ward.
Engaging in creative activity
Authors: Dragon Susan , Madsen Wendy 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Almost anyone working in arts-based interventions has an intuitive understanding of the health and social benefits associated with this work, attributing outcomes to the role of the facilitator, the creative space, the social element and the art-making process. Potential positive benefits can be achieved from the multitude of ways that opportunities are created for engagement in creative activities, in spite of the lack of resources and limited conventional methods. Creative programmes exist in abundance in health organizations, community centres, local neighbourhood houses, schools and learning centres providing opportunities for participation in creative activity. We have lost the historical belief of art as a healing tool and in the value of engaging local communities in creative activity if we do not give voice to the participants of these less publicized, smaller, local art programmes and explore their experiences of engaging in the art-making process.

LAS CIENCIAS NATURALES EN LA PRENSA ESCRITA
Authors: Zorrilla Erica Gabriela , Mazzitelli Claudia Alejandra 
Published: March 2016

<p>Al abordar el estudio de las representaciones sociales en relación con la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las Ciencias, resulta relevante indagar en la prensa escrita de qué manera se presenta a las Ciencias Naturales. Atendiendo a esto trabajamos con las ediciones del año 2012 de periódicos de la provincia de San Juan, Argentina. Para su selección tuvimos en cuenta las respuestas dadas por docentes y alumnos a una encuesta en las que se les solicitó que señalaran los diarios de versión impresa que leen, así como si leen las noticias de Ciencia que se publican en los mismos. A partir del análisis realizado hemos inferido las posibles influencias de la prensa en la formación o el fortalecimiento de representaciones sociales, habiendo encontrado que algunas representaciones podrían favorecer tanto la enseñanza como el aprendizaje, mientras que otras podrían obstaculizar dichos procesos.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>In addressing the study of social representations relating to the teaching and learning of Science, we considered relevant to inquire how Natural Science is presented in the written press.

Con base en el desarrollo de las actividades propuestas allí, se realiza desde la metodología de teoría fundamentada, un análisis de los enfoques instrumental, cognitivo, sistémico y cultural que se construyen en torno a la tecnología, la forma como se relacionan y el proceso de construcción del concepto en los procesos de interacción de los estudiantes que participan en esta red. </p>
Escritura(s) y modos de subjetivación: del ciudadano moderno a la subjetividad juvenil contemporánea
Authors: Bermudez Grajales Monica Maria 
Published: March 2016

<p>El presente texto plantea el lugar preponderante que tuvo la escritura en la configuración política del ciudadano moderno. Prácticas escriturales concebidas para el desarrollo de la autonomía, el autocontrol y la domesticación de las pasiones fueron algunas de las aristas que promovieron la construcción de un sujeto racional que pudiera participar en la esfera pública y en las actividades propuestas por el Estado-nación. Hoy, el sentido de la escritura moderna ha variado: paralelamente a las transiciones económicas, sociales y tecnológicas están sugiriendo otros modos de escribir. De hecho no requerimos de aquel tipo de escritura como única condición para la participación política, pues hoy los movimientos sociales y las interacciones comunicativas-digitales de muchos jóvenes con sus narrativas hipertextuales nos muestran una reivindicación de lo oral, lo sonoro y lo icónico como trámite de una subjetividad política que no deviene racional en el sentido moderno, sino nómada, vernácula y sensible. </p>
Seminario Taller Creativo, Danza. Historias de vida en el hacer de una maestra

Published: March 2016

<p>Esta experiencia pedagógica da a conocer el deseo de una maestra que se pregunta por el devenir de sus prácticas artísticas como formadora de maestros en la Escuela Normal Superior Distrital María Montessori. La mueve una constante inquietud por saber de dónde deviene su interés por la historia de los cuerpos, de las corporeidades y la subjetividad que los constituyen. En esta búsqueda centra su atención en las huellas ancestrales de lo aprendido en el espacio de su hogar para reflexionar cómo los encuentros familiares marcaron su cuerpo-corporeidad. Asimismo, el pensar y sentir lo que la escuela de la década de los setenta dejó en ella como cuerpo negado. Es así como surgen diversos interrogantes por sus prácticas de corporeidad en su quehacer como formadora de maestros normalistas.</p>
La imagen en las Artes Visuales. Nuevos modos de comunicación en la escuela
Authors: Gutiérrez Castro Flor Ángela 
Published: March 2016

<p><strong>Resumen</strong><em></em></p><p>Este artículo de reflexión tiene como objetivo explicar otras posibilidades y reconocimientos al uso de la imagen visual en los nuevos modos de comunicación en la escuela, mediante el desarrollo de algunas estrategias de acción referidas a la contemplación y la producción de la imagen: primero, sortear la tendencia a la transmisión de imágenes como reflejo transparente de realidades sugeridas; segundo, ir más allá de la interpretación de las imágenes en términos de lo negativo/positivo; y tercero, considerar en la escuela la importancia de las artes visuales en la construcción del sujeto. A partir de esta reflexión se desarrollan algunas claves conceptuales de la imagen como componente de la subjetividad desde rasgos distintivos que la revelan más desde su contenido que desde su definición. El artículo concluye esbozando la necesidad de construir nuevas prácticas, en las que más allá de favorecer el cumplimento de programas académicos instaurados se construyan otras condiciones para entender la imagen como acontecimiento comprensible mediante la relación cultural visual-artes visuales. </p>
Povezave med izbranimi dejavniki tveganja in pojavnostjo bolečine v križu pri zdravstvenem osebju
Authors: Demšar Andreja , Zurc Doc. dr. Joca , Skela Savič Izr. prof. dr. Brigita 
Published: March 2016

Uvod: Bolečina v lumbalnem predelu predstavlja pogosto zdravstveno težavo med zdravstvenim osebjem. Z raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti, kako pogosto se bolečine v križu pojavljajo pri zdravstvenem osebju, in sicer v povezavi z izbranimi dejavniki tveganja.
Metode: Raziskava temelji na neeksperimentalni kvantitativni metodi empiričnega raziskovanja. Uporabili smo vprašalnik zaprtega tipa o bolečini v križu, ki ga je izpolnilo 89 zdravstvenih delavcev v Splošni bolnišnici Jesenice in domu upokojencev na področju Gorenjske. Za ugotavljanje statistično značilnih razlik med skupinami smo uporabili test χ2 in enofaktorsko analizo variance.
Rezultati: Bolečina v križu se pri 40,4 % zdravstvenega osebja pojavlja večkrat na mesec, najpogosteje pri bolničarjih (p = 0,001) in zaposlenih na negovalnem oddelku (p = 0,006). Povprečno traja manj kot en teden (43,8 %). Dejavnik, ki je z njo najbolj povezan, je dvigovanje in prenašanje bremen (x = 4,5). Glede izobraževanj s področja bolečine v križu in pravilnega dvigovanja bremen obstajajo statistično značilne razlike med poklicnimi skupinami (p < 0,010).
Diskusija in zaključek: Z bolečino so najbolj povezani dejavniki, ki nastanejo zaradi neposrednega fizičnega dela s pacientom. Potrebna so nadaljnja raziskovanja na reprezentativnih vzorcih, treba bi bilo izvesti tudi izobraževanja za zaposlene in uvesti nove pripomočke, ki bi jih zdravstveno osebje uporabljalo pri svojem delu s pacientom.
A competency-based performance appraisal for nurse leaders
Authors: Kvas Andreja , Seljak Janko 
Published: March 2016

Introduction: An employee performance appraisal is used internationally to improve employee performance, productivity, efficiency and effectiveness in nursing care. The purpose of the study was to assess the performance and efficiency of nurse leaders at all levels of leadership, identify deficient areas for each individual leader and propose improvements.
Methods: Two surveys were conducted in 15 Slovenian public hospitals. The sample from the first survey included 1311 nurses who assessed the level of competencies of their immediate superiors. The sample from the second survey included 236 nurse leaders. Data envelopment analysis is used in this study to develop a model of practice outputs and inputs to help identify the most efficient nurse leaders.
Results: Significant differences exist in the performance appraisal among the leaders in nursing. A total of 203 (86 %) nurse leaders are defined as inefficient and could improve their leadership performance. On average, inefficient leaders could improve their behaviour most in the areas of generic leadership competencies (by 51.7 %) and interprofessional relationships (by 47.7 %).
Discussion and conclusion: The areas with the worst performance are generic leadership competencies and interprofessional relationships where also the most significant improvements are possible. Nurse leaders and hospital managers can use the analysis results to determine in which areas the leaders in their organisation should improve the levels of their competencies.
On the existence of bound and ground states for some coupled nonlinear Schrödinger–Korteweg–de Vries equations
Authors: Colorado Eduardo

Abstract
We show the existence of positive bound and ground states for a system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger–Korteweg–de Vries equations. More precisely, we prove that there exists a positive radially symmetric ground state if either the coupling coefficient satisfies

{\beta>\Lambda}

(for an appropriate constant

under appropriate conditions on the other parameters of the problem. We also prove that there exists a positive radially symmetric bound state if either

under some appropriate conditions on the parameters. These results give a classification of positive solutions as well as the multiplicity of positive solutions. Furthermore, we study systems with more general power nonlinearities and systems with more than two nonlinear Schrödinger–Korteweg–de Vries equations. Our variational approach (working on the full energy functional without the

Review of freeform TIR collimator design methods
Authors: Talpur Taimoor , Herkommer Alois 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Total internal reflection (TIR) collimators are essential illumination components providing high efficiency and uniformity in a compact geometry. Various illumination design methods have been developed for designing such collimators, including tailoring methods, design via optimization, the mapping and feedback method, and the simultaneous multiple surface (SMS) method. This paper provides an overview of the different methods and compares the performance of the methods along with their advantages and their limitations.
Informal Insurance Networks
Authors: Gao Wayne Yuan , Moon Eunyoung 
Published: March 2016

AbstractThis paper develops a model of risk sharing in which each individual’s income shock is locally shared ex-post given an ex-ante strategically formed network. Emphasizing the informational constraint of the network such that transfers can only be contingent on local information, the model provides characterizations of the ex-ante efficient network and the pairwise stable networks. While it is no surprise that the unique efficient network is the complete graph, it is interesting that any pairwise stable network features low average degree and almost 2-regular structures, even under individual risk heterogeneity, and it tends to exhibit positive assortativity in terms of risk variances. If expected incomes are also locally shared in addition to income shocks, the pairwise stable network may become more densely connected, achieving efficiency under certain parameter values.
Modeling and performance evaluation of a robotic treatment couch for tumor tracking
Authors: Jöhl Alexander , Lang Stephanie , Ehrbar Stefanie , Guckenberger Matthias , Klöck Stephan , Meboldt Mirko , Schmid Daners Marianne 
Published: March 2016

AbstractTumor motion during radiation therapy increases the irradiation of healthy tissue. However, this problem may be mitigated by moving the patient via the treatment couch such that the tumor motion relative to the beam is minimized. The treatment couch poses limitations to the potential mitigation, thus the performance of the Protura (CIVCO) treatment couch was characterized and numerically modeled. The unknown parameters were identified using chirp signals and verified with one-dimensional tumor tracking. The Protura tracked chirp signals well up to 0.2 Hz in both longitudinal and vertical directions. If only the vertical or only the longitudinal direction was tracked, the Protura tracked well up to 0.3 Hz. However, there was unintentional yet substantial lateral motion in the former case. And during vertical motion, the extension caused rotation of the Protura around the lateral axis. The numerical model matched the Protura up to 0.3 Hz. Even though the Protura was designed for static positioning, it was able to reduce the tumor motion by 69% (median). The correlation coefficient between the tumor motion reductions of the Protura and the model was 0.99. Therefore, the model allows tumor-tracking results of the Protura to be predicted.

A systematic comparison of two new releases of exome sequencing products: the aim of use determines the choice of product
Authors: Altmüller Janine , Motameny Susanne , Becker Christian , Thiele Holger , Chatterjee Sreyoshi , Wollnik Bernd , Nürnberg Peter 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
We received early access to the newest releases of exome sequencing products, namely Agilent SureSelect v6 (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and NimbleGen MedExome (Roche NimbleGen, Basel, Switzerland), and we conducted whole exome sequencing (WES) of several DNA samples with each of these products in order to assess their performance. Here, we provide a detailed evaluation of the original, normalized (with respect to the different target sizes), and trimmed data sets and compare them in terms of the amount of duplicates, the reads on target, and the enrichment evenness. In addition to these general statistics, we performed a detailed analysis of the frequently mutated and newly described genes found in ‘The Deciphering Developmental Disorders Study’ published very recently (Fitzgerald, T.W., Gerety, S.S., Jones, W.D., van Kogelenberg, M., King, D.A., McRae, J., Morley, K.I., Parthiban, V., Al-Turki, S., Ambridge, K., et al. (2015). Large-scale discovery of novel genetic causes of developmental disorders. Nature 519, 223–228.). In our comparison, the Agilent v6 exome performs better than the NimbleGen’s MedExome both in terms of efficiency and evenness of coverage distribution. With its larger target size, it is also more comprehensive, and therefore the better choice in research projects that aim to identify novel disease-associated genes. In contrast, if the exomes are mainly used in a diagnostic setting, we see advantages for the new NimbleGen MedExome. We find a superior coverage here in those genes of high clinical relevance that likely allows for a better detection of relevant, disease-causing mutations.
