Published: November 2015

Background: Anterior soft tissue impingement of the ankle has been described based on the etiology and location, but no classification has been reported. Arthroscopic treatment is usually considered effective, even if the behavior of the different forms of impingement is not clear. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors affecting long-term results. Methods: Forty-two patients with a mean age of 32.6 years were arthroscopically treated between 2004 and 2008. Impingement lesions were identified according to clinical examination and confirmed by MRI. Soft tissue impingement was detected and classified according to location (anteromedial, anterolateral, syndesmotic or diffuse). Patient data, foot morphology, and previous trauma or surgery were recorded. Patients were evaluated after a mean of 90.1 months’ follow-up with the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system. Results: The mean AOFAS score improved from 40.6 preoperatively to 82.6, 78.4, and 74.8, respectively, at the 2-, 4-, and 6-year follow-ups ( P < .05). The anterolateral form showed higher scores compared to the diffuse or anteromedial forms. Age, foot morphology, and previous trauma or surgery did not affect the results. Body mass index of more than 26 and male gender were associated with worse outcomes. Conclusion: Arthroscopic debridement proved effective in the treatment of soft tissue impingement. Furthermore, we were able to classify the location of the anterior soft tissue impingement of the ankle, which may have prognostic importance. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series.

Purpose: To evaluate a method for reducing metal artifacts, arising from dental fillings, on cone-beam computed tomography images. Materials and Methods: A projection interpolation algorithm is applied to cone-beam computed tomography images containing metal artifacts from dental fillings. This technique involves identifying metal regions in individual cone-beam computed tomography projections and interpolating the surrounding values to remove the metal from the projection data. Axial cone-beam computed tomography images are then reconstructed, resulting in a reduction in the streak artifacts produced by the metal. Both phantom and patient imaging data are used to evaluate this technique. Results: The interpolation substitution technique successfully reduced metal artifacts in all cases. Corrected images had fewer or no streak artifacts compared to their noncorrected counterparts. Quantitatively, regions of interest containing the artifacts showed reduced variance in the corrected images versus the uncorrected images. Average pixel values in regions of interest around the metal object were also closer in value to nonmetal regions after artifact reduction. Artifact correction tended to perform better on patient images with less complex metal objects versus those with multiple large dental fillings. Conclusion: The interpolation substitution is potentially an efficient and effective technique for reducing metal artifacts caused by dental fillings on cone-beam computed tomography image. This technique may be effective in reducing such artifacts in patients with head and neck cancer receiving daily image-guided radiotherapy.
A qualitative study exploring first time mothers’ experiences of breastfeeding in Singapore
Authors: Jia Choo Pey , Ryan Kath 
Published: November 2015

Background: The exclusive breastfeeding rate (for the first 6 months of a baby’s life) remained low in Singapore despite active promotion of breastfeeding by government bodies and hospitals. The aim of this study was to explore the breastfeeding experiences of first time mothers and the difficulties they faced during their breastfeeding period. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study design was adopted. Participants were chosen from a purposive sampling technique and data were collected from 10 semi-structured in-depth interviews. All interviews conducted were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim. Interview transcriptions were analysed using the qualitative content analysis approach. Results: The breastfeeding period of the 10 first time mothers in this study ranged from 3 days to 10 months, and four participants were still breastfeeding at the time of interview (4–12 months after delivery). The interview transcriptions generated 54 nodes, 12 sub-themes and four key themes. The four key themes identified were: (a) challenges and support for breastfeeding in the initial period after birth; (b) low degree of support for breastfeeding in the workplace; (c) unease at breastfeeding in front of others; and (d) emotional and psychological aspects of breastfeeding. Conclusion: This study provided a better understanding of the breastfeeding experiences of first time mothers in Singapore. Initiating and sustaining breastfeeding is still challenging for first time mothers. Greater public awareness, laws that support breastfeeding in public and the workplace, as well as support of family members could be fundamental to successful breastfeeding.

Abstract
Kaye Donachie’s paintings pay tribute to a cast of historical female figures. Modernist performers, futurist actresses and non-conformist poets become protagonists connected by their unconventional beliefs and preferences. The paintings recognize the allure of these individuals and the extent to which they have stimulated Donachie to illuminate their specific histories, posing questions such as what it is to be present, to be active, to have a voice, and to assume ultimately, some measure of control over creative and emotional labour. The narratives within the paintings are given structure by the visceral sensation of light, outline and intensity of surfaces that evoke images surrounding the various subjects of her investigation. In this visual essay Donachie shares recent pictorial research that focuses on the writings of Marguerite Duras. The images do not dwell on Duras narrative but attempt to capture the writer’s strange ability to show how one space and time can dissolve into another through the form of an elliptical poem. Using painted cyanotypes Donachie draws directly on an illuminated source, with Duras novella providing a painterly alchemy for overlaying figural images and condensing time.

Doorknob in the desert: Agnes Martin’s queer becoming
Authors: Cook Roger 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Alongside recent knowledge of her schizophrenia, Agnes Martin’s lesbianism and its relation to her extraordinary achievement as an artist needs to be better understood. Anterior to activist Monique Wittig’s infamous 1978 public statement that ‘lesbians are not women’ (Wittig 1993: 32), in 1973 Martin (refusing compulsory heterosexuality’s sex and gender dimorphism) humorously protested that she ‘was not a woman but a doorknob’ (Johnston 1998: 300). Ultimately, Martin’s liberation was a liberation through identification with non-human being: a painterly practice of queer becoming that can be thought of as the Foucauldian creation of life as a ‘work of art’ – a desubjectivization of the self or ‘death of the subject’ enacting a Barthesian ‘desire for the neutral’ (Barthes 2005) to become one with the vitality and vibrancy of matter itself.
Thematizing failure: The morbid fascination of Luc Tuymans
Authors: Moonie Stephen 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Luc Tuymans’ paintings are often heralded as exemplary of contemporary painting’s historical dilemma. This article argues that a discourse of failure has been formative in shaping Tuymans’ critical reception: a discourse that has drawn heavily on the postmodern critique of painting in the 1980s. Further, this discourse has been formative of Tuymans’ own practice. However, this article argues that despite the productiveness of the discourse of failure – especially with regard to the relationship between Tuymans’ painting and the technologically mediated image – such an approach runs up against certain limits. This is especially apparent in Tuymans’ recent work, which exemplifies a more pronounced ambivalence towards modernism and its legacy.
Painterly explorations: Notes from India’s Kochi-Muziris Biennale
Authors: Manghani Sunil 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
This article offers a critical account of ‘painterly explorations’ at the second Kochi-Muziris Biennale (which under the curatorship of Jitish Kallat took the title of ‘Whorled Explorations’). Painting at the Biennale in 2014 was surprisingly conspicuous, particularly when understood in its expanded sense. Following an account of some of the different painting practices on display, the article draws upon the term ‘social gestus’ (the critical demonstration of gestures) to suggest a reading of global, contemporary art that is concerned with the coordinates and situating of gestures as an entire form, and which is critically revealing of itself. The productionist site of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale provides a fitting example of what social, critical meanings painting can reveal.
Poetry, politics, the past and the present: Interweaving Maori postcolonial theatre with Bertolt Brecht in Kilimogo’s production of Apirana Taylor’s Whaea Kairau: Mother Hundred-Eater
Authors: Halba Hilary 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
This article examines ways in which the concept of resistance – in a postcolonial sense – has been articulated in Maori theatre, and in particular by Maori playwright, actor and poet Apirana Taylor during a period that might be loosely termed the ‘Maori renaissance’. Specifically, the article focuses upon how resistance plays out theatrically in Kilimogo Productions’ presentation of Taylor’s play Whaea Kairau: Mother Hundred-Eater, performed in Otepoti/Dunedin in 1999. Taylor’s and Kilimogo’s contributions to Maori theatre’s function as a theatre of resistance are duly examined. Alongside a postcolonial critical stance, the article evaluates how the Brechtian elements of Verfremdungseffekt, Gestus and historicization can be applied to Maori theatre in a way that complements rather than colonizes. Theatrical strategies found in Taylor’s play and Kilimogo’s production provide the spectator with the Brechtian experience of Verfremdungseffekt, but simultaneously accommodate the undergirding principles of Kaupapa Maori and Maori tikanga (Maori topics, policies, agendas or initiatives, and customary cultural practices). These theatrical strategies allow for a dialectical engagement between cultural signifiers and texts, and for the possibility of contradiction in the theatrical image. A sense of complex undecidability is consequently evident in Kilimogo’s production of Whaea Kairau. Whilst acknowledging Bertolt Brecht’s legacy and influence, the article also recognizes his complex status as a canonized theatre-maker in this particular postcolonial context, and therefore looks at ways in which Kilimogo’s production both utilizes and interrogates Brecht’s tenets.
A ‘Pacific renaissance’?: Exploring the Pacific diaspora in Aotearoa New Zealand through the evolution of festivals and popular music
Authors: Mackley-Crump Jared 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The post World War II large-scale migration of Pacific peoples to Aotearoa New Zealand represents one of the country’s most significant demographic changes of the late twentieth century. Communities were first established in the main centres before gradually expanding and becoming entrenched across the country. With the passing of new generations, these communities became primarily locally born and/or raised. This article addresses the growth of Pacific festivals over four decades and argues that this development demonstrates cultural and diasporic evolution. It also posits that, by focusing on the changing nature of music within the festival space, these processes are further illuminated. From their beginnings in the 1970s as spaces of purely traditional musics, Pacific festivals experienced significant growth from the 1990s as part of a ‘Pacific renaissance’. This period saw a coming-of-age of the first New Zealand-born generations and fused with a reaction against the preceding marginalization of Pacific communities. As part of this renaissance, popular music increasingly became an important medium through which notions of diasporic identity and culture were negotiated, and the role of popular music within festival spaces likewise evolved. Popular music is now central in a sonic landscape that incorporates both traditional and popular musics as representative of the Pacific diaspora and its cultural evolution and continued negotiation in twenty-first century New Zealand.
‘Our kids don’t want to eat taro anymore’: Unravelling the challenges of contemporary sociocultural change in Niue
Authors: Mcnamara Karen E. , Lisimoni-Togahai Birtha , Smith Roy 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Niue, an island country in the South Pacific Ocean, is commonly referred to as the ‘rock of Polynesia’. The oval-shaped island is one of the world’s largest coral islands and supports a population of 1,460 residents. During focus group discussions with community members from three coastal villages in October 2012, it was evident that the country faces significant contemporary sociocultural changes that present numerous challenges for Niue’s long-term future. The core challenges and concerns expressed by participants revolved around outmigration trends, a shift away from traditional subsistence living and increasing dependency on imported food, a decline in traditional practices, and the potential negative effects of a growing tourism industry. While these trends are largely well-known and well-documented for Niue, less attention has been given to how best to reconcile these concerns and the subsequent disjuncture between the ‘problem’ and ‘solution’. This article therefore seeks to document these concerns, and importantly present a way forward for managing them in a way that will see a reversal or slowing of these currently perceived negative trends to ensure the long-term sustainability of Niue and its people.
The importance of geostatistics in pyschical geography<p>Fiziki coğrafyada jeoistatistiğin önemi

<p>Geostatistic in geographical science is an important method used to consistently determine the spatial variation of an event. Geostatistics look at where the geographical variables take place, i.e. the location, the spatial interaction and the effects of geographical variables affecting the distribution of variables at the location. In short, geostatistics are interested in the spatial organization of the related research subject. Therefore, it has an important place in the geographical study of events that occured in geographical space with the aid of geostatistical techniques.

Wnt Signaling in Sexual Dimorphism
Authors: Deshpande Girish , Nouri Ali , Schedl Paul 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The embryonic gonad of Drosophila melanogaster begins to display sexually dimorphic traits soon after its formation. Here we demonstrate the involvement of a wnt family ligand, wnt-2, in the induction of these sex-specific differences. We show that wnt-2 contributes to the survival of a male-specific population of somatic gonadal precursor cells (SGPs), the male-specific SGPs that are located at the posterior of the male gonad. We also show that the Wnt-2 ligand synergizes with the JAK-STAT ligand Upd, which is produced by SGPs at the anterior of the gonad to activate the STAT pathway in male germ cells. We suggest that the use of two spatially separated signaling systems to initiate the JAK-STAT stem cell maintenance pathway in germ cells provides a mechanism for increasing the pool of potential progenitors of the germline stem cells in the adult testes. Finally, we present evidence indicating that, like the JAK-STAT pathway, wnt-2 stimulates germ cells in male embryos to re-enter the cell cycle.

AbstractRNA editing refers to post-transcriptional processes that alter the base sequence of RNA. Recently, hundreds of new RNA editing targets have been reported. However, the mechanisms that determine the specificity and degree of editing are not well understood. We examined quantitative variation of site-specific editing in a genetically diverse multiparent population, Diversity Outbred mice, and mapped polymorphic loci that alter editing ratios globally for C-to-U editing and at specific sites for A-to-I editing. An allelic series in the C-to-U editing enzyme Apobec1 influences the editing efficiency of Apob and 58 additional C-to-U editing targets. We identified 49 A-to-I editing sites with polymorphisms in the edited transcript that alter editing efficiency. In contrast to the shared genetic control of C-to-U editing, most of the variable A-to-I editing sites were determined by local nucleotide polymorphisms in proximity to the editing site in the RNA secondary structure. Our results indicate that RNA editing is a quantitative trait subject to genetic variation and that evolutionary constraints have given rise to distinct genetic architectures in the two canonical types of RNA editing.
Primary Sex Determination in Drosophila melanogaster Does Not Rely on the Male-Specific Lethal Complex
Authors: Erickson James W 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
It has been proposed that the Male Specific Lethal (MSL) complex is active in Drosophila melanogaster embryos of both sexes prior to the maternal-to-zygotic transition. Elevated gene expression from the two X chromosomes of female embryos is proposed to facilitate the stable establishment of Sex-lethal (Sxl) expression, which determines sex and represses further activity of the MSL complex, leaving it active only in males. Important supporting data included female-lethal genetic interactions between the seven msl genes and either Sxl or scute and sisterlessA, two of the X-signal elements (XSE) that regulate early Sxl expression. Here I report contrary findings that there are no female-lethal genetic interactions between the msl genes and Sxl or its XSE regulators. Fly stocks containing the msl31 allele were found to exhibit a maternal-effect interaction with Sxl, scute, and sisterlessA mutations, but genetic complementation experiments showed that msl3 is neither necessary nor sufficient for the female-lethal interactions, which appear to be due to an unidentified maternal regulator of Sxl. Published data cited as evidence for an early function of the MSL complex in females, including a maternal effect of msl2, have been reevaluated and found not to support a maternal, or other effect, of the MSL complex in sex determination. These findings suggest that the MSL complex is not involved in primary sex determination or in X chromosome dosage compensation prior to the maternal-to-zygotic transition.
