Knowing me knowing you: Enhancing emotional literacy through visual arts
Authors: Nixon Margaret 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article presents Enhancing Emotional Literacy through Visual Arts (ELVA) an innovative approach, developed by The Dax Centre, incorporating visual arts and mental health for primary school students. ELVA, beginning as a five-year project, and funded though a philanthropic grant, is the result of the collaborative efforts of a multidisciplinary advisory group of teachers, child psychotherapists, psychiatrists and art therapists, is lead by a project manager and overseen by the Director of the Dax Centre. Through an examination of ELVA’s theoretical frame and its unique experientially based teacher professional learning component, this article will highlight the contribution ELVA offers to existing well-being and visual arts approaches in schools. It will also present the findings of an independent evaluation of the initial pilot phase of ELVA.
Mobilities, aesthetics and civic engagement: Getting at-risk youth to look at their communities
Authors: Pariser David , Castro Juan Carlos , Lalonde Martin 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article describes a mobile media art curriculum for engaging at-risk students with their schooling and with civic engagement. The pilot study was conducted with at-risk youth who were seeking their high school diplomas. The curriculum encouraged participants to use mobile media in school and outside. Students examined aspects of their neighbourhoods and sometimes explored themes suggested by the workshop leader. Data consisted of participants’ images, their posts and interview responses. We noted that civic engagement grew out of participants’ initial interest in, and concern for, the formal, technical and aesthetic aspects of their images. Our participants recognized that, if an image is well made, it will be that much more effective in communicating its civic message. In this article, we will consider the primacy of the aesthetic as a promising principle for developing curricula that reorient at-risk youth.
Martin Crimp’s pulverized cities: Dislocation, places and theatre spaces
Authors: Clements Rachel 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article considers how Martin Crimp’s plays imagine and create space starting with his cities, and moving into his houses, as they appear in his playtexts and in production. Considering both original plays such as Attempts on Her Life (1997), The City (2008), Fewer Emergencies (2002/2005) and In the Republic of Happiness (2012) and his contemporary adaptation Cruel and Tender (2004) (after Sophocles’ Trachiniae), the article traces Crimp’s translations, transpositions, allusions and dislocations of space and particularly the circulation of the image of a city under siege. Reading these pulverized cities in tandem with some of the ideas about the ‘inferno’ from Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities ([1972/1974] 1997), the article suggests that the creation of contested imaginary space opens up questions and possibilities for audiences of his plays.
Wild Rosa L. taxa of the National Nature Park ‘Podilskyi Tovtry’ (Podolian Hills, Western Ukraine)
Authors: Sołtys-Lelek Anna , Oliіar Halyna 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
The present paper discusses the wild roses of the National Nature Park ‘Podilskyi Tovtry’. The purpose of the work was to compile a full list of the wild Rosa taxa growing in the study area and present their distribution. Based on the field studies during the years 2009-2013 and published data, 20 taxa have been recorded, among them: 16 native species (including three hybrids with the rank of species), 2 anthropophytes and 2 hybrids. However, the taxonomical status of Rosa caryophyllacea Besser is not clear and species requires taxonomical revision. Three new rosa species for the Park were found during the studies. These are: Rosa micrantha, R. ×subcanina and R. ×subcollina. The list of the roses occurring in this area is still far away from being completed, therefore, further research is needed.
Spatial expansion pattern of black cherry Padus serotina Ehrh. in suburban zone of Białystok (NE Poland)
Authors: Wołkowycki Dan , Próchnicki Paweł 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
The object of the study is the distribution and spatial pattern of black cherry Padus serotina Ehrh. population and the impact of landscape structure on the expansion of this alien species in the suburban zone of the city, where the land-use has rapidly been transforming recently. The population of black cherry expands centrifugally, spreading from fringes of the city to outer zones of the agglomeration with more agricultural character. Individuals of P. serotina are distributed in clusters in this area. The maximum observed population density reaches 371/ha (mean 11.3/ha for colonized plots). The main factor influencing the landscape invasibility is cessation of agriculture. Although the first sources of spread of P. serotina are localities in forests, where 46% of the total number of individuals are concentrated, nevertheless, the largest group of juveniles (48%) was found on abandoned farmlands. Over 90% of all youngest individuals were recorded at a distance of up to 100 m from older ones. Chances of isolated occurrence are small and the probability of the colonization is strongly dependent on the occupation of adjacent areas by the species. Black cherry disperses, primarily, according to a spatial pattern of phalanxes, by occupying areas immediately adjacent to places previously colonized and then filling the available habitats. Long-distance dispersal seems to play a minor role for its expansion. Autocorrelation and diffusion models of spread should be taken into account in preventing further expansion of black cherry and planning conservation measures in natural protected areas.
Quality performance of laboratory testing in pharmacies: a collaborative evaluation
Authors: Zaninotto Martina , Miolo Giorgia , Guiotto Adriano , Marton Silvia , Plebani Mario 
Published: May 2016

Abstract

Background:
The quality performance and the comparability between results of pharmacies point-of-care-testing (POCT) and institutional laboratories have been evaluated.

Methods:
Eight pharmacies participated in the project: a capillary specimen collected by the pharmacist and, simultaneously, a lithium-heparin sample drawn by a physician of laboratory medicine for the pharmacy customers (n=106) were analyzed in the pharmacy and in the laboratory, respectively. Glucose, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, were measured using: Reflotron, n=5; Samsung, n=1; Cardiocheck PA, n=1; Cholestech LDX, n=1 and Cobas 8000. The POCT analytical performance only (phase 2) were evaluated testing, in pharmacies and in the laboratory, the lithium heparin samples from a female drawn fasting daily in a week, and a control sample containing high concentrations of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides.

Results:
For all parameters, except triglycerides, the slopes showed a satisfactory correlation. For triglycerides, a median value higher in POCT in comparison to the laboratory (1.627 mmol/L vs. 0.950 mmol/L) has been observed. The agreement in the subjects classification, demonstrates that for glucose, 70% of the subjects show concentrations below the POCT recommended level (5.8–6.1 mmol/L), while 56% are according to the laboratory limit (<5.6 mmol/L). Total cholesterol exhibits a similar trend while POCT triglycerides show a greater percentage of increased values (21% vs. 9%). The reduction in triglycerides bias (phase 2) suggests that differences between POCT and central laboratory is attributable to a pre-analytical problem.

Conclusions:
The results confirm the acceptable analytical performance of POCT pharmacies and specific criticisms in the pre- and post-analytical phases.
Walking on thin ice of translation of terminology in legal settings
Authors: Matulewska Aleksandra 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Translation in legal settings is an extremely complex process. Failure to adjust the target text to the communicative needs of the translation recipient is a serious source of problems. It often results from the existence of sets of terminology used only in one legal system in a given language variety. When rendering translations under the pressure of deadlines, translators frequently lack time to carry out extensive and time-consuming terminological inquiries and comparisons. Therefore, there is a need for the creation of parametrised terminology banks for the purpose of interlingual legal communication. The research hypothesis is put forward that parametrisation of legal terminology in respect of semantic and systemic relations at the intralingual and interlingual level may be a useful tool in organizing terminology for the purpose of legal translation. The scope of the research encompasses selected legal terminology from: Polish, British, American and European Union legal systems. The research methods used include: (i) the analysis of comparable texts, (ii) the method of axiomatization of legal linguistic reality, (iii) the terminological analysis of research material, (iv) the concept of adjusting the target text to the communicative needs and requirements of the community of recipients as well as (v) the analysis of pertinent literature.
Communication of an interpreter and fair trial under Nigerian criminal justice system
Authors: Michael C. Ogwezzy 
Published: May 2016

AbstractIt is established that certain constitutional safeguards are enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 to ensure the fair trial of accused persons in criminal matters. A breach of any of the constitutional safeguards will vitiate a trial and may consequently nullify the entire proceeding depending on the degree of breach. It is argued in this paper that, English language is the official language of all the courts in Nigeria and if the language is not understood by the accused person standing trial in a criminal matter, an interpreter should be provided, failure upon that, their right to a fair trial would have been breached. Though the failure to provide an interpreter has always been treated as a matter of procedure and a conviction would not be disturbed on appeal except it can be shown that the failure to provide an interpreter led to miscarriage of justice. The author therefore intends of examine the “Communication of an interpreter and fair trial under Nigerian Criminal Justice System”. In this academic inquiry, a doctrinal approached involving the review of relevant scholarly literatures is adopted.
Justice, fairness and juridical perfectibility
Authors: Petrilli Susan 
Published: May 2016

AbstractAristotle had already underlined the importance of the relationship between justice and equity (a term I interpret as synonomous to fairness), which he analysed in great detail. Equity is the term which in the English translation of Aristotle’s works corresponds toepiekes(Greek). A starting point for my paper will be Aristotle’s considerations on the relationship between equity and justice. In English we have “equity,” “impartiality,” “fairness,” “equitableness”. Do we distinguish between these terms? is there any difference? In what follows I discuss equity, or better the relation between equity and justice, treating equity and fairness as the same thing. According to Aristotle equity and justice are neither completely the same nor generically different. If they are different either the just or the equitable is not good; or, if they are both good, they are the same (Aristotle,Nicomachean Ethics, Bk. V, Ch. 9, 10, p. 1019). Briefly, we could make the claim that equity (fairness) corrects the tendency that characterizes justice towards abstraction, impartiality and indifference, which in fact constitute the condition of possibility for justice to obtain. Equity opens to singularity, to unreplaceability, to uniqueness, shifting justice from the relation of indifference to the other, to the relation of unindifference to the other, to each and every other considered in his or her absolute unrepeatability.
Autonomous Industrial Vehicles: From the Laboratory to the Factory Floor
Authors: Bostelman Roger , Messina Elena 
Published: May 2016

Description
Get 8 papers that detail perspectives from related standards efforts, industry needs, and cutting-edge research on automatic guided vehicles (AGVs). The authors discuss performance standards and benchmarks that can enable technology transfer from the laboratory to industry. These papers tackle the complexities of multiple AGVs operating in unstructured environments.
This book comprises expanded versions of selected papers presented at the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) workshop. This research sets the stage by reviewing standards development for other mobile robot application domains, such as emergency response, and suggests approaches for tackling performance measurement for intelligent AGVs. The authors discuss examples of performance standards that could be used for vehicle navigation performance and for perception systems.
Automatic guided vehicles were one of the earliest applications for mobile robots. The first AGVs were deployed in the 1950s to transport materials in large facilities and warehouses. Mobile robot capabilities have advanced significantly in the past decades. General-purpose sensing, planning, communications, and control are paving the way for an era where the “A” stands for “autonomous.” This evolution in onboard intelligence has greatly expanded the potential scope of applications for AGVs; thus, ASTM has formed a new committee to develop these missing standards for measuring, describing, and characterizing performance for this new breed of AGVs. ASTM’s Committee F45 on Driverless Automatic Guided Industrial Vehicles will standardize nomenclature and definitions of terms, and develop recommended practices, guides, test methods, specifications, and performance standards for AGVs.

Published: May 2016

ABSTRACT: This study tests a hydrogen‐based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) to investigate simultaneous bioreduction of selected oxidized contaminants, including nitrate (‐N), sulfate (), bromate (), chromate (Cr(VI)) and para‐chloronitrobenzene (p‐CNB). The experiments demonstrate that MBfR can achieve high performance for contaminants bioreduction to harmless or immobile forms in 240 days, with a maximum reduction fluxes of 0.901 g ‐N/m2·d, 1.573 g /m2·d, 0.009 g /m2·d, 0.022 g Cr(VI)/m2·d, and 0.043 g p‐CNB/m2·d. Increasing H2 pressure and decreasing influent surface loading enhanced removal efficiency of the reactor. Flux analysis indicates that nitrate and sulfate reductions competed more strongly than , Cr(VI) and p‐CNB reduction. The average H2 utilization rate, H2 flux, and H2 utilization efficiency of the reactor were 0.026 to 0.052 mg H2/cm3·d, 0.024 to 0.046 mg H2/cm2·d, and 97.5% to 99.3% (nearly 100%). Results show the hydrogen‐based MBfR may be suitable for removing multiple oxidized contaminants in drinking water or groundwater.
Evaluation and Management of Pediatric Nasal Obstruction: A Survey of Practice Patterns
Authors: Kohlberg Gavriel D. , Stewart Michael G. , Ward Robert F. , April Max M. 
Published: May 2016

Background Inferior turbinate (IT) hypertrophy and adenoid hypertrophy are both causes of pediatric nasal obstruction. Objective The purpose of this survey was to study nasal obstruction evaluation and management among pediatric otolaryngologists with respect to IT and adenoid hypertrophy. Methods A questionnaire with embedded clinical videos was sent electronically to American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology members. Results A total of 435 questionnaires were sent, and 75 were completed. Respondents were presented with scenarios that involved a 7-year-old child with nasal obstruction unresponsive to medical therapy, and the respondents were asked to choose a surgical plan, either IT reduction, adenoidectomy, or combined IT reduction and adenoidectomy. Three questions described the extent of IT and adenoid obstruction in text form, although three questions included a video of the child's nasal endoscopy. In questions with perceived or stated IT hypertrophy, the respondents chose to perform IT reduction significantly more frequently when the perceived or stated adenoid hypertrophy was less severe (p < 0.0001 for video and p = 0.039 for written questions). Conclusion The decision to perform IT reduction in children is inversely related to the extent of adenoid hypertrophy. Future studies on pediatric IT surgery should include objective descriptions of the IT and adenoid in study subjects.
Évolution des caractéristiques prosodiques du langage adressé aux enfants entre 6 et 10 mois
Authors: Martel Karine , Aguert Marc 
Published: May 2016

Les propriétés prosodiques du langage adressé à l’enfant influencent la perception de la langue maternelle par les bébés dès la naissance. Afin d’étudier l’évolution de ces propriétés, des échantillons de paroles de mères adressées à des enfants ont été recueillis à deux périodes de l’acquisition du langage : au début et à la fin du babillage canonique. Cent soixante phrases, réparties en deux catégories de modalités : déclarative versus interrogative, ont été sélectionnées pour un test de perception auprès d’adultes et analysées acoustiquement. Les résultats mettent en évidence que les mères adaptent leur prosodie en fonction de l’âge de l’enfant, notamment quand elles produisent des questions. Le débit est en effet significativement plus lent quand les enfants ont 6 mois versus 10 mois, et les variations d’intonation se produisent à des niveaux de fréquences plus élevés.
La compréhension des hyperboles ironiques à 10 ans : le rôle de la prosodie et du lexique
Authors: Aguert Marc , Martel Karine 
Published: May 2016

L’utilisation de l’hyperbole favorise la compréhension de l’ironie chez l’adulte en accentuant l’écart entre ce qui est dit et la réalité décrite (Kreuz, Roberts, 1995). Parce que ce procédé se réalise à la fois à l’aide de la prosodie et du lexique, il permet de comparer le rôle respectif de ces deux indices dans la compréhension de l’ironie chez l’enfant. Les deux expériences présentées ont mobilisé 64 enfants de 10 ans. De petits scénarios comprenant un énoncé ironique leur ont été présentés, suivis d’une question de compréhension. Trois principaux résultats ont été mis en évidence et discutés. D’abord, l’hyperbole favorise la compréhension de l’ironie à 10 ans. Ensuite, les indices – prosodie et lexique – sont peu efficaces isolément ; c’est leur interaction qui garantit une compréhension optimale. Enfin, la prosodie n’a pas obligatoirement à être produite dans une intention ironique pour favoriser la compréhension de l’ironie.
Le développement de la prosodie dans le syndrome de Williams et le syndrome de Down chez des enfants de langue anglaise
Authors: Stojanovik Vesna , Setter Jane , Lacroix Agnès 
Published: May 2016

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier le profil développemental de trois aspects de la fonction de prosodie : émotion, focalisation et fin de phrase chez des enfants porteurs 1˚ du syndrome de Williams et 2˚ du syndrome de Down en les comparant à des enfants de langue anglaise ayant un développement normal. Les tâches utilisées sont une partie de la batterie informatisée, Profiling Elements of Prosody for Speech Communication . Des trajectoires développementales mettant en lien l’âge chronologique, l’âge mental non verbal et les fonctions de la prosodie (émotion, focalisation et fin de phrase) ont été construites. Les résultats montrent des profils atypiques dans les deux populations cliniques. Cependant, les profils sont atypiques pour des raisons différentes, suggérant des trajectoires développementales différentes pour acquérir la prosodie dans ces deux populations.
