Psychological treatments for psychosis
Authors: Greenwood Kathryn 
Published: June 2017

SummaryMost of the novel psychological therapies reviewed by Turkington & Lebert have their roots in at least one traditional approach of cognitive, behavioural and meditation practice. These therapies offer exciting prospects, but none as yet has a strong enough evidence base to warrant routine implementation in the National Health Service. In a climate of scarce resources, implementation of novel therapies is likely to come at the cost of traditional therapies with a stronger evidence base. Clinical practice must not run ahead of the evidence, but we must enable new, targeted treatments to be implemented in a timely manner once their evidence base becomes secure.
Case Article—Miller Pain Treatment Center—Eastern Hospital Outpatient Center
Authors: Chambers Chester , Williams Kayode 
Published: June 2017

Introductory courses in operations management typically introduce students to process analysis and queuing theory. We apply these tools to consider patient flows in an outpatient clinic where processes are made more complex by inclusion of the teaching mission of an Academic Medical Center. The case narrative deals with a physician who moved his practice from a setting with no teaching mission to the academic setting. This created a natural experiment because he began treating the same patients using a different process flow. Students are asked to use data collected at both settings to compare and contrast these flows. The protagonist weighs options designed to improve an appointment schedule, change patient punctuality, and introduce a type of pre-processing of patients. Evaluation of these proposals calls for a different style of analysis. Students are introduced to the use of discrete event simulation to address such questions. Simulation models are provided corresponding to the two clinic settings. This allows students to conduct and learn from virtual experiments using calibrated models. The case fills a need for material that covers issues in healthcare delivery, which the basic tools of process analysis and queuing theory are insufficient to fully address. The simulation tool and the teaching note are available at https://www.informs.org/Publications/Subscribe/Access-Restricted-Materials .
Case—Miller Pain Treatment Center
Authors: Chambers Chester , Williams Kayode 
Published: June 2017

On a cool Saturday morning Dr. Keith Weems walked briskly down the hallway toward the main entrance to Eastern Hospital (JHH). He was on his way to visit in-patients in several wards as part of his duties as the pain specialist on call for that weekend. However, his mind kept drifting to issues he was facing as the new manager of the Miller Pain Treatment Center in the neighboring Eastern Outpatient Center (E-HOC). Dr. Weems had been working as part of the Eastern system for several years. However, he recently merged his successful private practice into the Miller Pain Treatment Center and was appointed as its director. In so doing he moved from a setting where he was the clear boss to one in which he was dealing with a collection of more established doctors already set in their ways. He also had to figure out how to improve the care delivery process in this environment, which considered itself to be part of the premier teaching hospital in the world. After reviewing the operations and meeting the staff he was coming to grips with the fact that this new setting was much more complex than his old practice in a myriad of ways. Additionally, between treating outpatients and in-patients, managing the clinic, teaching medical students, and conducting research, it was clear that the complexity of the job mirrored the complexity of the operating environment. However, he was confident that he could find ways to get this larger clinic to surpass the success of his old, simpler practice.

The happy housewife and the mortal economies of domestic labour in Desperate Housewives
Authors: Randell-Moon Holly 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Desperate Housewives (2004–12, US: ABC) was a North American long-running female ensemble television series with a narrative focus on marriage, domestic labour and death. In this article, I explore how the programme’s emphasis on death offers a subtle critique of happy heterosexuality and the heteronormative labour that sustains this ideal. Through its explorations of the domestic, economic and mortal trajectories of idealized ‘womanhood’ and ‘motherhood’, Desperate Housewives offers a stylized and sophisticated interrogation of the social and cultural practices that normalize marriage as an emotionally and morally rewarding institution for the reproduction of the white American nuclear family. By drawing attention to the role of performance and the labour required to accomplish an ideal of familial happiness, Desperate Housewives was able to popularize an interest in the private and domestic spheres of affluent American women. The thematics of Desperate Housewives cohere with and extend the neo-liberal reconfiguration of feminist discourse and housewife labour in the mid-aughts in complex ways. In showing how the conventions of marriage and family are performative, the programme suggests that the roles of wife and mother are constructed through social compliance rather than being innate or natural expressions of femininity. However, in positioning death as an escape from or failure to adhere to the social conventions of life, Desperate Housewives nevertheless reaffirms both gendered and racially exclusionary representational tropes and domestic economies that locate life as the correct purview for happy, affluent and heterosexual housewives.
Gothic reflections: Mirrors, mysticism and cultural hauntings in contemporary horror film
Authors: Piatti-Farnell Lorna 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
As both a cultural and an aesthetic entity, the mirror functions as a site of transformation, intermingling, and (un)clarity. Even at the most embryonic level, the mirror is connected to the framework of the Gothic via the notion of the ‘double’, the terrifying Other that lingers in the margins of our consciousness, and challenges our cultural certainties. In the reflection, the familiar becomes unfamiliar, the known becomes unknown, the certain merges with the uncertain. Taking this in-between status as a point of departure, this article offers a preliminary analysis of the role played by the mirror in contemporary Gothic horror film. Focusing particularly on The Skeleton Key (Softley, 2005) as an evocative example, I uncover how the mirror is intertwined with narratives of magic and mysticism. My discussion shows how scary and often supernatural encounters with mirrors are inevitably entangled with matters of a cultural nature, where the blurred and intangible margins of Gothicized reflections channel contemporary preoccupations surrounding ethnicity, spirituality, identity and haunted histories.
‘Something diabolical but delicious’: Heston Blumenthal’s ‘Gothic Horror Feast’
Authors: Brien Donna Lee 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This article explores how chef and author Heston Blumenthal has drawn on Gothic and other popular literature to inspire his multimedia output, with a focus on the ‘Gothic Horror Feast’ episode of the second series of his popular television series, Heston’s Feasts (2010). In this episode, Blumenthal himself uses Gothic literature as he draws on some of his supposed favourite Gothic tales to inspire an edible feast, in which, he states, he wants to recreate what is for him the pleasure of Gothic literature – ‘that spine chilling thrill of being terrified but wanting to come back for more’. The guests at his feast are filmed as they foray into this unknown territory, experiencing a range of responses to the Gothic-inspired food – including fear, horror and disgust – and finding words to articulate these responses. Finally, viewers of the television series watch and experience this brief but surprisingly intense trip into the Gothic at a safe remove. Drawing on both Contemporary Gothic and food studies scholarship, this article will use this detailed example to investigate this specialist form of culinary television.
‘...touched by the back hand of God’: Outcasts, monstrous love and queer fellowship in Penny Dreadful
Authors: Finegan Samuel 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Having completed its third (and final) season on Showtime and Sky in 2016, the Anglo-American Penny Dreadful (2014–16, US: Sky Atlantic and Showtime) is a strange show, a horror melodrama confected out of a blending of nineteenthand twentieth-century classics and situated in a geographically unstable Victorian London. The resultant text, however, is remarkably coherent, offering a compassionate reading of its Gothic and queer outcasts in the face of a ruthlessly heterosexually coded Evil. Each of the protagonists in Penny Dreadful is in some way benighted: marked out from their peers by contact with something unwholesome and potentially unholy. The threats they face, however, are both unholy and hinged on heterosexual desire: the vampire brides of Dracula, the witches marked by their Master and the monstrous bride created for Frankenstein’s original creature. In comparison to the monstrous families they oppose, the ‘company’ that forms in the name of ‘night work’ and self-defence is a community of outsiders – without, or rejected by, their families and unentangled romantically. Nestled amongst the monster hunting and constant threat of destruction the company finds quiet moments of fellowship, compassion and community building. The cursed and death-haunted protagonists, when they cook, and shop, eat and smoke together, find value in a life lived in the margins of their Victorian society. Reading out the queerness of Penny Dreadful renders the show a portrait of marginal lives lived in the shadows, but standing against the dark.

Brides and widows: Iconic dress and identity in Howard Barker’s costumes
Authors: Kipp Lara Maleen 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
One of the strongest recurring motifs in the work of contemporary British playwright Howard Barker is women’s marital status: brides and widows abound in his work. Their status as such is often crucially configured, but also subverted through their costumes (in a Western cultural context). This article considers the central role that brides and widows play in a variety of Barker’s dramatic texts and identifies some core working principles with regard to his use of costume. It explores the notion of the iconic garment, as proposed by Hannah in 2014, and its influence on these characters’ identities. Drawing on aesthetic discourse, in particular that of the sublime, I analyse how Barker proposes a reconsideration of stable subject identity through these recognizable, yet ambiguous and unstable female figures.
Australia on display: Tracing an Australian identity through the evolving costume design for The Australian Ballet’s production The Display
Authors: Collett Emily , Alsop Roger 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The topic of costume for performance as a marker of national identity is in its infancy within the context of theatre studies. As the means by which an audience relates to character and narrative, costume is central to our understanding of identity. Here, we consider costume for performance, specifically for dance, in Australia as an indicator of the developing national identity, using the 1964, 1983 and 2012 Australian Ballet productions of The Display as a case study. The original 1964 costumes were credited to expatriate artist Sidney Nolan, the 1983 version was designed by Sydney fashion designer Adele Weiss and the 2012 remount utilized photographs, written documentation and memories to recreate the original 1964 costumes. By examining the three sets of costumes, we aim to demonstrate how a study of the costumed body offers insights into Australia’s evolving national character.

Abstract

Background:
Early detection of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in asymptomatic subjects is useful to predict autoimmune diseases years before diagnosis. ANA have been determined by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) using human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells, which is considered the gold standard technique. Multiplex technology (BioPlex ANA Screen) has been introduced for ANA evaluation in recent years. Nevertheless, concordance between BioPlex and IIF is low and there is no harmonization between both methods for detection of autoantibodies. This study has aimed to clarify the clinical significance of autoantibodies detected by BioPlex ANA Screen in subjects with undiagnosed clinical suspicion of autoimmune disease and to determine the predictive value of autoantibodies detected by BioPlex ANA Screen.

Methods:
A 3-year follow-up study was performed of 411 subjects without a clear diagnosis of autoimmune diseases in whom autoantibodies were detected by BioPlex ANA Screen that were negative by IIF on HEp-2 cells.

Results:
At 3 years of follow-up, 312 (76%) subjects were positive for autoantibodies by IIF and 99 subjects continued to be negative. A diagnosis of autoimmune disease was found in most of the subjects (87%).

Conclusions:
BioPlex ANA Screen has greater sensitivity than IIF on HEp-2 cells for autoantibodies detection. Early detection of these antibodies by BioPlex can predict possible development of autoimmune diseases.
Ground-truthing Phylotype Assignments for Antarctic Invertebrates
Authors: Czechowski Paul , Clarke Laurence , Cooper Alan , Stevens Mark 
Published: June 2017

AbstractBiodiversity information from Antarctic terrestrial habitats helps conservation efforts, but the distribution and diversity particularly of microinvertebrates remains poorly understood. Springtails, mites, tardigrades, nematodes and rotifers are difficult to identify using morphological features, hence DNA-based metabarcoding methods are well suited for their study. We compared taxonomy assignments of a high throughput sequencing metabarcoding approach using one ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) and one mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I - COI) marker with morphological reference data. Specifically, we compared metabarcoding or morphological taxonomic assignments on multiple taxonomic levels in an artificial DNA blend containing Australian invertebrates, and in seven extracts of Antarctic soils containing known micro-faunal taxa. Avoiding arbitrary application of metabarcoding analysis parameters, we calibrated those parameters with metabarcoding data from non-Antarctic soils. Metabarcoding approaches employing 18S rDNA and COI markers enabled detection of small and cryptic Antarctic invertebrates, and on low taxonomic ranks 18S data outperformed COI data in this respect. Morphological taxonomy determination did not outperform metabarcoding approaches. Our study demonstrates how barcoding markers can be tested prior to their application to specific taxonomic groups, and that taxonomy fidelity of markers needs to be validated in relation to environment, taxa, and available reference information.

over sparse arithmetic progressions, with averaging over both residue classes and moduli. In a restricted range, we confirm an averaged version of a recent conjecture about the asymptotics of this variance.

Differences in physical activity, eating habits and risk of obesity among Kuwaiti adolescent boys and girls: a population-based study
Authors: Badr Hanan E. , Lakha S. Fatima , Pennefather Peter 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The study aimed to assess gender differences among Kuwaiti adolescents in healthy living choices that impact the risk of obesity. A cross-sectional multistage cluster design was employed with a representative sample of 2672 students aged 13–15 years who completed a self-administered Global School-based Student Health (GSHS) survey. The study found that around 48.0% of adolescents were overweight and obese. More boys than girls were obese (28.2% vs. 22.3%, p < 0.0001). However, boys were more likely than girls to report healthy food choices regarding fruit (38.1% vs. 33.2%), and vegetables (21.8% vs. 16.7%). Only 20.7% of adolescents reported physical activity for more than 60 min/day, predominately by boys rather than girls (30.8% vs. 10.5%, respectively, p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed that male gender, skipping breakfast and physical inactivity were significantly correlated with the risk of overweight and obesity among adolescents. These results suggest that lifestyle education for promoting healthy body masses targeting adolescents should take gender into account.
Reducing barriers to primary school education for girls in rural Kenya: reusable pads’ intervention
Authors: Mucherah Winnie , Thomas Kendra 
Published: June 2017

Abstract

Purpose
The current study explored girls’ perceptions of the impact of sanitary pads’ intervention on their school attendance and grades.

Methods
Participants included 150 girls in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade in two rural schools in Kenya. Participants completed a questionnaire on menstrual health issues and the perceived impact on school attendance and academic performance.

Results
Results indicated that of all participants (150), those who had passed menarche and had cloth pads had similar comfort levels at school as those who had not yet had their period. Of those who had reached menarche (with pads n = 34, without pads n = 91), they answered questions about how much their period interfered with their attendance and grades. Those who had received the pads reported significantly less negative influence on their attendance and schoolwork than those who did not have pads. They also reported significantly lower levels of wanting to hide their menstrual cycle from friends and family. In addition, they reported significantly higher levels of comfort at home and school than those who did not have pads. Finally, those with pads reported significantly lower levels of fear during their period.

Conclusion
These findings suggest providing girls with pads minimizes the barriers to successful schooling.
Kernel-Based Measure of Variable Importance for Genetic Association Studies
Authors: Gallego Vicente , Luz Calle M. , Oller Ramon 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThe identification of genetic variants that are associated with disease risk is an important goal of genetic association studies. Standard approaches perform univariate analysis where each genetic variant, usually Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), is tested for association with disease status. Though many genetic variants have been identified and validated so far using this univariate approach, for most complex diseases a large part of their genetic component is still unknown, the so called missing heritability. We propose a Kernel-based measure of variable importance (KVI) that provides the contribution of a SNP, or a group of SNPs, to the joint genetic effect of a set of genetic variants. KVI can be used for ranking genetic markers individually, sets of markers that form blocks of linkage disequilibrium or sets of genetic variants that lie in a gene or a genetic pathway. We prove that, unlike the univariate analysis, KVI captures the relationship with other genetic variants in the analysis, even when measured at the individual level for each genetic variable separately. This is specially relevant and powerful for detecting genetic interactions. We illustrate the results with data from an Alzheimer’s disease study and show through simulations that the rankings based on KVI improve those rankings based on two measures of importance provided by the Random Forest. We also prove with a simulation study that KVI is very powerful for detecting genetic interactions.
In eigener Sache. 25 Jahre Jahrbuch unter neuer Leitung
Authors: Pierenkemper Toni 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
As the Institute for Economic History at the GDR Academy of Science was being wound up following German reunion, the existence of the Economic History Yearbook was also threatened. Initially, its publication was only guaranteed for 1991, so in the early nineties the question was pertinent whether the Yearbook could be continued in a new form or whether it would be wound up too. As we know today, the Yearbook survived the “Wende” but with a new editorial and advisory board and a new concept. To mark the 25th anniversary of the new “Yearbook”, the editors called upon Toni Pierenkemper – as both first and long-standing Managing Editor – to provide his perspective on the situation in which the Yearbook was relaunched. The following insights are essentially based on his correspondence as managing editor today archived in Bochum.
Industrial Policy in Western Europe since the 1960s: Historical Varieties and Perspectives
Authors: Ahrens Ralf , Eckert Astrid M. 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Historical research on industrial policy has only recently begun to focus on the crisis-shaken decades of the 1970s and 1980s, demonstrating the broadness of the topic as well as the need for further research. In the first section of this introduction, we address the challenges in arriving at a definition of industrial policy that would encompass the wide variety of this type of state intervention into economic structures. In a second step, we provide a short survey of the variations of industrial policy in Western market economies since the 1960s, emphasizing the plurality of goals and methods that make this topic such a promising avenue of historical research. Finally, we suggest some perspectives for future research, including its potential for interdisciplinary connections.
