Abstract
Background
The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/apolipoprotein B (LDL-C/apoB) ratio has conventionally been used as an index of the LDL-particle size. Smaller LDL-particle size is associated with triglyceride (TG) metabolism disorders, often leading to atherogenesis. We investigated the association between the LDL-C/apoB ratio and TG metabolism in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods
In the cross-sectional study, the LDL-C/apoB ratio, which provides an estimate of the LDL-particle size, was calculated in 684 consecutive patients with one additional risk factor. The patients were classified into 4 groups based on the presence or absence of CAD and DM, as follows: CAD (−) DM (−) group, n = 416; CAD (−) DM (+) group, n = 118; CAD (+) DM (−) group, n = 90; CAD (+) DM (+) group, n = 60.

Results
A multi-logistic regression analysis after adjustments for coronary risk factors revealed that the CAD (+) DM (+) condition was an independent predictor of the smallest LDL-C/apoB ratio among the four groups. Furthermore, multivariate regression analyses identified elevated TG-rich lipoprotein (TRL)-related markers (TG, very-LDL fraction, remnant-like particle cholesterol, apolipoprotein C-II, and apolipoprotein C-III) as being independently predictive of a smaller LDL-particle size in both the overall subject population and a subset of patients with a serum LDL-C level < 100 mg/dL. In the 445 patients followed up for at least 6 months, multi-logistic regression analyses identified increased levels of TRL-related markers as being independently predictive of a decreased LDL-C/apoB ratio, which is indicative of smaller LDL-particle size.

Conclusions
The association between disorders of TG metabolism and LDL heterogeneity may account for the risk of CAD in patients with DM. Combined evaluation of TRL-related markers and the LDL-C/apoB ratio may be of increasing importance in the risk stratification of CAD patients with DM. Further studies are needed to investigate the useful clinical indices and outcomes of these patients.

Purpose The Iressa Mutation-Positive Multicentre Treatment Beyond ProgRESsion Study (IMPRESS) compared the continuation of gefitinib plus chemotherapy with placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) mutation–positive advanced non–small-cell lung cancer with progression (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1) after first-line gefitinib. Primary results indicated no difference between treatments in terms of progression-free survival (PFS). The current analysis presents final, mature, overall survival (OS) data, together with exploratory analyses that examined whether specific biomarkers, including T790M mutation status, were able to differentiate a relative treatment effect. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned to gefitinib 250 mg or placebo, in addition to cisplatin 75 mg/m2 plus pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 (maximum of six cycles of chemotherapy). EGFR mutation status was determined from plasma-derived circulating free tumor-derived DNA samples (beads, emulsification, amplification, and magnetics digital polymerase chain reaction assay, allelic fraction analysis). Results A total of 265 patients with non–small-cell lung cancer were randomly assigned, and overall data maturity was 66%. Continuation of gefitinib plus cisplatin and pemetrexed was detrimental to OS when compared with placebo plus cisplatin and pemetrexed (hazard ratio [HR], 1.44; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.94; P = .016; median OS, 13.4 v 19.5 months). The detriment was statistically significant in patients with T790M mutation–positive plasma samples (HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.21), whereas statistical significance was not reached in T790M mutation–negative patients (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.68 to 1.94). PFS in T790M mutation–positive patients was similar between treatments, and the difference observed in T790M mutation–negative patients did not reach statistical significance (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.43 to 1.03; P = .0745). Conclusion Final OS data from IMPRESS are supportive of earlier PFS results and are sufficient to warn physicians against the continuation of treatment with first-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors beyond radiologic disease progression when chemotherapy is initiated. Plasma biomarker analyses suggest that this effect may be driven by T790M-positive status.
Resistance journalism in Haiti: The role of Radio Enriquillo in the coup against Aristide
Authors: Ruquoy Pedro 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
From the moment Jean-Bertand Aristide declared his intention to run for president of Haiti, the poorest mobilized to support him as he raised hopes of a better future after years of invasions and dictatorships. He went on to win the presidency in 1991, which was then called ‘Aristide’s year’ by his followers. Nevertheless, this hope was short-lived as he was rapidly deposed by a military coup d’etat on 30 September that same year. As is usual in these cases, a total blackout of the news media in that country followed under strict censorship and repression. However, in the darkest of moments, ‘Radio Enriquillo’, a local radio station in the south of the Dominican Republic, managed to evade censorship and kept the Haitians informed of what was happening in the country. This is the account from its then director who reported the events as they unfolded and a reminder that journalism can always make a difference as long as it fosters strong links with the community it serves.
Sharing media content in social media: The challenges and opportunities of user-distributed content (UDC)
Authors: Villi Mikko , Noguera-Vivo José-Manuel 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The article explores the distribution of mass media content by the online audience that connects by using the different social platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. The focus is on the new and developing concept of user-distributed content (UDC). From the viewpoint of media organizations, UDC is a process by which the mass media converge with online social networks through the intentional use of social media services and platforms in an effort to expand the distribution of media content. UDC does not have a long trajectory as a study object in media studies. The study suggests that practices related to UDC can be more strongly incorporated into management and journalism in mainstream media organizations, and that the distribution of media content can rely increasingly on the communication structures among the online audience. In the review of the UDC practices, complimented with interviews with Spanish and Finnish journalists, practitioners can find keys for a better understanding of audience management as part of the content distribution process.
News values of amateur photographs
Authors: Schmieder Kathrin 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This article reflects on the decision-making process concerning the content criteria for the inclusion of amateur photographs in the news. The concept of news values gives an insight into this practice. I ask what content criteria amateur photographs convey that news media workers perceive as valuable, and which additional process-related characteristics are important. The findings show that the sourcing of amateur photographs largely follows traditional news values such as unpredictability, amplitude, conflict and negativity. They also reveal the importance of additional factors such as access and proximity. In addition, the article considers the relationship between the idea of high and low newsworthiness and the sourcing of amateur photographs, and shows that they are mainly applied at the ‘extreme ends of the news spectrum’. This important insight could be one of the keys to understanding how the professional news media adapt in the face of significant change in the media, and where the professional approach of assigning photographers is still relevant.
Watching over the watchdogs: Triangulation of press punishment in Sudan
Authors: Galander Mahmoud M. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Few countries have experienced the ordeal that the Sudanese press has lived through. Since independence in the mid-1950s of the last century, democratic and authoritarian regimes have been ‘watching over’ the press through an assortment of councils, committees, ordinances, laws and/or ‘revolutionary measures’. Under all governments, newspapers were suspended, closed down, confiscated and/or nationalized. The current political regime is, however, unique in its antagonistic treatment of the press as it has, since its takeover of power through a coup in 1989, shown an adversarial attitude of suspicion and distrust of the independent press and the working journalists. Using Steven Lukes’ theoretical interpretation of a three-dimensional power, the article assesses the punitive role of press councils, security bureaus and courts in stifling the ‘free press’ system in Sudan, and highlights the evolutionary nature of press control mechanisms in the country. The current regime is given more emphasis, not only because it has reigned longer but also because it manifests the characteristics of both a military and a liberal political system. This remarkable detachment from the ordinary classification of either authoritarian or liberalitarian political systems underlines the major thesis of this article that authoritarian regimes abuse press freedom by adopting and adapting some features of a free press system.
Children and crime/abuse frame: The view from Botswana
Authors: Akpabio Eno 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The overarching aim of this study was to determine how children and children’s issues have been framed in the Botswana print media. The study universe consisted of news stories on children and children’s issues over a five-year period (2005−09) in Botswana print media. Three newspapers – Mmegi (daily), The Voice and Midweek Sun (weeklies) – were randomly selected for the study. The units of analyses were themes, nature and slant of the news reports. To ensure reliability, two independent coders were contracted to code the content of the news stories. A combination of emergent coding and priori coding was used. The study’s findings indicate that the abuse and crime frame has come to dominate the reporting of children in the Botswana media, which is in line with an earlier UK study. As a consequence, the study recommends more scholarly investigation of the issue and calls for frame evolution to more positive portrayals of children.
Exploring anti-tobacco messages from an experiential arts activity with Aboriginal youth in an Australian high-school setting
Authors: Gould Gillian S. , Skeel Margaret , Gruppetta Maree 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
High Aboriginal smoking prevalence exposes youth to passive smoking and encourages initiation. Using an educational arts-in-health project, we engaged youth in exploring the meaning of smoking for the Aboriginal community. An interactive classroom session educated N=20 Aboriginal high-school students about smoking and mass media literacy, followed by a poster-making session. The students could choose a threat-appeal, a positive benefit appeal or an advocacy message, targeted at youth, families or Elders. The visual and textual content of the posters underwent framework analysis to explore the range of messages and images. Students created innovative posters depicting issues facing Aboriginal people from smoking, including the potential loss of parents to ill-health. The majority of messages were fear-based (59 per cent), and targeted family (63 per cent). Over half of the students included Aboriginal arts styles or symbols. Aboriginal students exhibited insight into the effects of tobacco on their community.
Mental Greatness revisited: An artist’s journey curating an exhibition on mental illness
Authors: Savina Grace 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This article takes a dual approach in analysing art and mental illness. It begins by reviewing the existing literature on both the practice of using art as a form of therapy and healing and also the capacity of art to promote empathy and awareness. It then reviews and examines a specific art exhibition, Mental Greatness, in which all the artists identified as having mental illnesses. As the former curator of this exhibition, I will take the reader on a journey beginning with preparations for the show, the show itself, and the impact it had on me as an artist, activist and person living with mental illness. If creating and viewing art can organically produce dialogues surrounding mental health, and aid in the recovery process, then collectively we can move towards promoting empathy and understanding of the role mental illness plays in our society.
Comrade Warhol
Authors: Davis Glyn 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This article explores Andy Warhol’s Hammer and Sickle series of the 1970s. It outlines the history of its production, and examines the place of politics, especially communism, within Warhol’s drawings, paintings and photographs. Most commentary on the Hammer and Sickle series has emphasized the power of the symbol in the United States, but this article explores the value of reading Warhol’s series as ‘European’.
Warhol and Nico: Negotiating Europe from Strip-Tease to Screen Test
Authors: Needham Gary 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This article explores Warhol and Nico’s relationship with Europe through their formative years and subsequent collaboration in Warhol’s underground and experimental filmmaking. In the 1950s Warhol was a commercial artist in New York, circulating in a gay milieu, and his work often conveyed Europe and a European sensibility in its illustration of ‘all things Europe’, but especially fashion. Nico was a fashion model and frequently seen in European fashion magazines before landing a few film roles, including a small part in La dolce vita (Fellini, 1960) and a featuring role in the French erotic film Strip-Tease (Poitrenaud, 1962). Nico moved to New York and found her way to Warhol’s art studio and social scene known as The Factory. At The Factory Nico joined the art-rock group The Velvet Underground at Warhol’s insistence and featured in several films Warhol made between 1966 and 1967, including Chelsea Girls (Warhol, 1966) and a number of portrait films called Screen Tests (Warhol, 1964–1966). This article explores the presence and negotiation of Europe in both Nico’s and Warhol’s life and work in the 1950s and 1960s. The article pays particular attention to their early careers and the shifts in Nico’s persona demonstrated by the difference between the French Strip-Tease and Warhol’s experimental Screen Tests.
Visibilility and realism: Photography and the problems of transparency
Authors: Wooldridge Duncan 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Photography’s initial claim to represent has been derived from a privileging of the visible world, which, it might be argued, is reinforced by the limited visibility of the camera. The proliferations of utilitarian photographies, therefore, are necessarily also the elimination of the non-visible. Such a notion of visibility, when contested, might provide the starting point for a reconception of the photographic in which the apparently indexical medium is filtered through alternative relationships to representation, transparency and, ultimately, even the discourse of realism. This article proposes that an alternative conception of realism might sceptically underline the limitation of the photographic apparatus in relating to but also limiting the world.

Non-standard uncertainties: Experiments in the visual conditions of the kilogram prototype
Authors: Raffaelli Giacomo 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The kilogram prototype is an object manufactured in late nineteenth century to serve as the standard unit of mass worldwide. Since then, the kilogram definition has been determined by this unique object, making it a peculiar case in metrological studies. However, after realizing that the prototype’s mass was unexpectedly changing, scientists are seeking a new way to define the kilogram in pure mathematical terms.
How to accommodate grief in your life
Authors: Minkin Louisa , Summers Francis 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This artists’ text examines the relationship between photographic images and Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) environments. We note that such scripted image worlds necessitate a fundamental reconsideration of the capacities of image, its formation, reproduction, storage and circulation. As an archaeologist would document an excavation, extending conventional methods through 3D visualization technology to work in new ways with the archaeological record, we chose to document a world built and razed digitally by a now dormant group of anonymous gamers called the Yung Cum Bois (YCBs). We turn to some definitions of griefer as a subcultural phenomenon within online culture to attempt to contextualize our involvement some more, thinking through the forms of image-gathering that grief play has generated, such as scripted object attacks where image-objects spawn and self-replicate, continually spurting out copies of themselves, lagging the region, slowing down frame rates, consuming land resources. Here we witness images blockading network logistics. This was active fieldwork. We got involved. We applied visualization technology learnt from archaeological computing research to the avatars, temporary structures and abandoned ruins of an online world, Second Life (SL). We patched together a kind of virtual photogrammetry, enabling the monumentalization of avatars, objects and scenarios, recompiling these into new configurations and uploading them freely to be reused, detourned and weaponized by our virtual friends. We situate this endeavour within a cobbled history of imaging technology, the networked self and its pathologies, riffling through our own image dump. Here.

All that Glitters: Sport, BP, and Repression in Azerbaijan (‘The great coming out Party of Azerbaijan’ and ‘What the marriage has created’)
Authors: Hughes Emma , Marriott James 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
All that Glitters was first published by Platform to mark the Opening Ceremony of the 2015 European Games in Baku. The inaugural European Games was about much more than medals. Held in Azerbaijan at the height of a systematic crackdown on human rights and democracy, the Games were the first of a series of international sporting events the country hosted. This reprint of excerpts from All That Glitters explores how the Games belonged to Azerbaijan’s Aliyev regime and the British oil company BP and how sport was co-opted in the service of a dynasty and fossil fuels. A sequel to Platform’s The Oil Road, this publication returns readers to Azerbaijan’s capital, where a new generation of lawyers, journalists, politicians and activists struggles for its country’s freedom. All That Glitters unpicks the heady mix of sport, repression and hydrocarbons that is blinding the world to the grim reality behind the showcase of Baku.

Media archaeologies of the Olympic city
Authors: Piccini Angela 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Olympic moving images – and their associated large and small screen manifestations in the city – take place. Yet, how is this taking and making of place through screen media and their techo-assemblages understood? Despite histories of the Olympic Games that discuss the mega-event as an urban and global growth engine and as a hotbed of cultural and technological innovation, the cities themselves as media and mediating technologies can appear to slip away under grand narratives of progress and ideology. Approaching the Olympic city as a screen landscape, this article asks how the myriad screens that produce the Olympic Games might be approached in ways that generate new understandings of the agential and performative role of the screen in contemporary urban environments. Using methods borrowed from contemporary archaeology, I consider how newer methods of engaging with Olympic screen assemblages may be necessary and how these methods might have an impact more broadly on the study of screen media.
Inelastic Olympic hopefuls: Rhythmic mis-interpellation in three auditions for the London 2012 ceremonies
Authors: Zaiontz Keren 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Between 2011 and 2012, I participated in three auditions for the London Olympic and Paralympic opening and closing ceremonies. Unable to execute the choreographic commands of West End dance captains – those charged with selecting UK residents and citizens for the ceremonies – I found myself out of step with the other Olympic hopefuls on the dance floor. What does my acute lack of rhythm reveal about the necessity for synchrony in national performances? The Olympic Games is a celebration of national belonging on a global stage that unfolds through corporeal solidarity. As my body foreclosed upon the possibility of coordination, it took on a physical inelasticity closer to that of the ‘mechanical inelasticity’ Henri Bergson’s uses to describe the pratfalls in slapstick comedies. I frame my failures on the dance floor as rhythmic mis-interpellation, which is my way of describing how my body’s involuntary refusal of technique cancelled me out without anyone ever having to usher me offstage.
