Experiences of mobility for people living with rheumatoid arthritis who are receiving biologic drug therapy: implications for podiatry services
Authors: Sanders Lucy , Donovan‐Hall Margaret , Borthwick Alan , Bowen Catherine J. 
Published: March 2017

AbstractBackgroundDespite significant advancements in new treatment modalities for rheumatoid arthritis with biological therapies, foot complications remain a disabling and common feature of the disease. In this study the aim was to explore and describe the personal experiences of people with rheumatoid arthritis in receipt of biologic treatments in a bid to understand the impact of this form of medication on their mobility.MethodsAn interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was undertaken to explore in depth the individual experience of rheumatoid disease through personal accounts of the patient journey spanning both ‘before’ and ‘after’ the instigation of biologic therapy. A purposive sampling strategy was adopted and in‐depth semi structured interviews used to facilitate rich, detailed interview data exploring the lived experiences of individuals undertaking biological therapy and the changes to mobility experienced as a result. Thematic analysis was employed with an IPA framework to identify key meanings, and report patterns within the data.ResultsFive people with rheumatoid arthritis participated in the study. The mean disease duration was 20.2 years (range: 6 ‐32) and all were being treated with biologic therapies. Four key themes emerged from the data: 1) Life before biologic treatment, depicted in accounts as a negative experience characterised by painful and disabling symptoms and feelings of hopelessness. 2) Life with biologic treatment, often experienced as a life changing transition, restoring function and mobility and offering renewed hope. 3) Sense of self, in which the impact of rheumatoid disease and the subsequent changes arising from biologic therapy reveal a profound impact on feelings of personal identity both pre and post biologic therapy; an effect of footwear on self‐image emerges as a dominant sub theme; 4) Unmet footcare needs were evident in the patient narrative, where the unrelenting if diminished impact of foot pain on mobility was viewed in the context of problematic access to foot health services.ConclusionWhilst the findings from this study mirror those within the existing literature, which report improvements in physical function related to biological therapy, foot problems clearly remained an unremitting feature of life for patients with rheumatoid disease, even when in receipt of biologics.
“I am anxious and desperate”: psychological experiences of women with infertility in The Greater Accra Region, Ghana
Authors: Donkor Ernestina S. , Naab Florence , Kussiwaah Deborah Y. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Background
Research has shown that infertility affects millions of couples worldwide. Infertility is considered one of the most difficult life experiences and can result in psychological consequences for couples, especially for women. The purpose of this study was to explore the psychological experiences of women with infertility.

Methods
A qualitative exploratory descriptive approach was used to conduct in-depth interviews. The psychological component of the bio-psychosocial model was used as a guiding framework to understand the experiences of women with infertility. Fourteen women were selected based on the purpose of the study and provided their informed consent, and were interviewed between November 2015 and January 2016. All the women were recruited from the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Each interview lasted for 30 to 40 min. All interviews were audio taped, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic content analysis.

Results
The findings from the study showed that women with fertility problems experienced many emotional difficulties such as loneliness, anxiety, depression, lack of concentration, worrying, and reduced sexual satisfaction.

Conclusions
Women in this study encountered psychological challenges and experienced emotional distress. Such women would benefit from psychological support such as counseling to help alleviate their psychological problems. These findings have implications for the care of women with infertility in Ghana.
In-line recognition of agglomerated pharmaceutical pellets with density-based clustering and convolutional neural network
Authors: Mehle Andraž , Likar Boštjan , Tomaževič Dejan 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
We present a method for recognition of agglomerates in images acquired during the coating process of pharmaceutical pellets. The pellets in the images are not perfectly dispersed, and it is often hard to differentiate between a random group of primary particles and a real agglomerate. The method utilizes a clustering-based image segmentation for candidate region detection and a convolutional neural network for classification of detected pellets to primary particles or agglomerates. We validated the performance of the method on real images of pharmaceutical pellets acquired during the coating process and achieved 93% classification accuracy.
From Modernity to Tradition: Zhu Ziqing's Chinese Literary Criticism
Authors: Chan Leonard Kwok Kou 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Is “literary criticism” a foreign concept? What is the impact of the reception of literary criticism on the modern studies of Chinese literature? Zhu Ziqing's 朱自清 (1898–1948) conception of the function of literary criticism is illustrative of these questions. Zhu developed an interest in Western literary criticism before entering Tsinghua University, where he absorbed more ideas about Western literature. With the support of department head Yang Zhensheng 楊振聲 (1890–1956), he planned a new curriculum in 1928, in an attempt to make literature in his concept a subject as important as classical exegetical studies. From Zhu's curriculum planning, his research orientation, and how he tried to put his ideas into practice, we can observe the oppositional tension between the modern concept of literary criticism and the traditional philological approach of Chinese study. Through an examination of Zhu's academic role, this article explores the emergence of the concept of literary criticism in modern China. It will be compared and contrasted with the situation in the West, with an aim of giving a detailed analysis of the way literary criticism has become an essential part of modern Chinese literary study.
Directions of Civil Service Institutional Transformation
Authors: Борщевский  , Borshchevskiy G. 
Published: March 2017

The concepts of rational bureaucracy, New Public Management and Good Governance were studied. It is
indicated that wrongly assume that one of them is more progressive, because all concepts originally aimed
at the rationalization of the public service and subordination its own interests according the interests of
society.
A set of conditions for the participation of citizens in governance exists today. There are a networked
organization, a partnership, a production of public goods, and value of public interest. It is proved that in the
Concept of the Russian Federation civil service reform (2001) laid the modernization potential for building an
open and democratic public service.
We postulate the classification of the barriers and challenges that hinder the civil service reform, and we
formulate the growth points and the alternative transformation vectors. Then we consider the risks of each
alternative in the short, medium and long term, and how to overcome them. It is indicated that the priority
should be the harmonization of the legal framework for civil service and public sector.
In the first step is need the convergence of the legal content of civil service with other activities in the public
sector, and the renouncement the civil servants to serve to politicians, which is aimed at increasing their
personal responsibility. It is necessary to implement the new basic legal principle of targeting efforts of the
civil servants to achieve economic growth and improve the quality of citizens life.
In the next step a new phenomenon – the public service – should be formed. The new public service will
include the civil service, municipal service and the public sector organizations, as well as some other types
of organizations.
This requires some changes in the personnel policy: the formation of a single personnel reserve for the
entire public service, improving the qualification requirements for all public positions based on professional
specializations, and ensuring the effective public control. A systematic approach to the creation of the public
service will increase the efficiency of public institutions and their resilience in the face of global instability.
Our conclusions were tested in draft the Strategy of socio-economic development of Russia for the period
till 2030.
Steven Mann’s “Chaos Theory” and Corporate Governance
Authors: Савченко  , Savchenko A. 
Published: March 2017

The article considers the problem of analysis of the external environment of the organization on the basis of
the views of Steven Mann’s “theory of controlled chaos”. The use of “chaos theory” allows us to re-evaluate
the dynamics of the external environment and to understand the nature of some processes in the world
market. “Chaos Theory” is not opposed to the theory of management, but complements it explaining the
nonlinearity of the environment and the individual causes of socio-economic viruses.
Selecting Statistical Quality Control Procedures for Limiting the Impact of Increases in Analytical Random Error on Patient Safety
Authors: Yago Martín 
Published: March 2017

Abstract

BACKGROUND
QC planning based on risk management concepts can reduce the probability of harming patients due to an undetected out-of-control error condition. It does this by selecting appropriate QC procedures to decrease the number of erroneous results reported. The selection can be easily made by using published nomograms for simple QC rules when the out-of-control condition results in increased systematic error. However, increases in random error also occur frequently and are difficult to detect, which can result in erroneously reported patient results.

METHODS
A statistical model was used to construct charts for the 1ks and X/χ2 rules. The charts relate the increase in the number of unacceptable patient results reported due to an increase in random error with the capability of the measurement procedure. They thus allow for QC planning based on the risk of patient harm due to the reporting of erroneous results.

RESULTS
1ks Rules are simple, all-around rules. Their ability to deal with increases in within-run imprecision is minimally affected by the possible presence of significant, stable, between-run imprecision. X/χ2 rules perform better when the number of controls analyzed during each QC event is increased to improve QC performance.

CONCLUSIONS
Using nomograms simplifies the selection of statistical QC procedures to limit the number of erroneous patient results reported due to an increase in analytical random error. The selection largely depends on the presence or absence of stable between-run imprecision.
Ceremonial ‘Russian dress’ as a phenomenon of court culture
Authors: Amelekhina Svetlana A. , Green Daniel 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Russian rulers introduced numerous dress reforms in the imperial period, transforming the appearance of state institutions and thus the image of Russia and its elite. This article traces the origins and development of ‘Russian dress’, a stylized version of female Russian folk costume introduced to the Russian court by Catherine the Great (1762–1796) and worn, in various forms, from the 1770s to 1917. We examine the symbolic role ‘Russian dress’ played in shaping the image of the ruler, Russia’s relationship with the West, and shifting notions of Russianness at home and abroad.
Performing Sand: A Case for the Abandonment of Video Documentation in Buddhist-Inspired Live Art
Authors: Clark Pema 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Documenting performance in the context of practice-based research has become the standard protocol for the assessment of live work in the academy as permanent document and archive. In contrast, the practice of Buddhism recognizes impermanence as the central doctrine governing all conditioned existence. What happens when these two fields are combined? In addressing the dialectic inherent in documenting a field of performance art that relies on its doctrinal foundations to convey principles that video documentation renders redundant, I offer an alternative method of documentation as part of the creative process that keeps the work ‘live’ in the mind of the audience upon every subsequent engagement with the archive. Far from being a failure to document, Buddhist performance art demands a new approach to the documentation of performance.
The article includes a performance score inspired by my autobiographical performance artwork At Sea: 1980–2010.
Postfeminist ‘Islamophobia’: The Middle East is so 1980s in Sex and the City: The Movie 2
Authors: Richardson Niall 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This article analyses how Sex and the City: The Movie 2 (King, 2010) represents a binary between style that is coded as ‘vintage’ and, therefore, desirable, and style that is depicted as ‘dated’ and identified as bad taste. Although this has been a dominant motif in both the Sex and the City series and first film (King, 2008), Sex and the City: The Movie 2 maps this distinction onto a West/Middle East binary. While everything Western (or, more precisely, everything NYC) is represented as stylish, the Middle East (and here it is Abu Dhabi that stands in for the Middle East) is depicted as dated and, the film suggests, trapped in the decade of the 1980s. Sex and the City: The Movie 2 develops many of the prejudices found in contemporary Western representations of the Middle East but articulates these through the motifs of fashion, consumerism and female sexuality. The article proposes that what is most offensive about Sex and the City: The Movie 2 is that it conflates all the social, cultural, political and, most importantly, religious differences that exist between secular New York and Muslim Abu Dhabi and reduces all of these issues to a simple question of style and knowing consumerism.
Gender and the ‘masquerade’ in James Joyce, Joan Riviere and Marlene Dietrich, 1925–30
Authors: Saunders Helen 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
My article, which begins by noting the fluke meeting between writer James Joyce and film star Marlene Dietrich in a Paris restaurant, considers the importance of masquerade and gender performativity in three texts of the late 1920s: an extract from Joyce’s final novel, Finnegans Wake, first published in 1925; Dietrich’s film, The Blue Angel (1930); and Joan Riviere’s psychoanalytic essay, ‘Womanliness as a masquerade’ (1929). After critically assessing the term ‘masquerade’ and Riviere’s reflections on it, I discuss the significance of Dietrich’s self-made costumes for The Blue Angel, arguing that she recognises the playful potential of the masquerade. Following this, I discuss the gender performativity of ALP, the heroine of Finnegans Wake, noting that her chapter of the novel shares with Dietrich’s and Riviere’s texts an emphasis on gender instability and shows how this can be performed through fashionable dress. I end by noting that Joyce, a male modernist often criticized for his reductive representations of women, is highly sensitive to the relationship between fashion and gender at this point in time.
The mobile middle: Indian skilled migrants in Singapore and the ‘middling’ space between migration categories
Authors: Baas Michiel 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Studies of skilled migration tend to be strongly bifurcated in terms of their focus on either low- or highly-skilled migrants, and public debate generally also reflects this. However, since skills, education and income levels are frequently conflated, there are usually considerable differences in terms of how low or highly skilled migrants actually are. In addition, there has been little attention paid to strategies of mobility between various visa categories. This article focuses on what it conceptualizes as the ‘mobile middle’: skilled migrants who actively negotiate and test the flexibilities of a migration programme in order to be able to work and potentially stay on ‘permanently’ in a particular country. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among Indian (mid-level) skilled migrants in Singapore, the present study explores how we can (further) conceptualize migration categories, and the ways migrants engage with them with respect to inherent constraints on the one hand and ambitions for the future on the other. With its focus on Singapore, the article also highlights how the mobile middle, as a rapidly growing group of migrants, takes up an increasingly prominent place in discussions about new immigrants and population growth.

Published: March 2017

Eventos de food truck têm acontecido em vários locais do Rio de Janeiro, nos quais encontram-se tantos pratos internacionais famosos quanto comidas locais, além de cervejas gourmet. Essa pesquisa caracterizou food trucks no Rio de Janeiro, sendo para tanto realizado um estudo em cinco eventos gastronômicos desse tipo, selecionando em cada evento 10 empresas. Foi observada uma maior presença de caminhões do que food bikes e carrocinhas. Percebeu-se ser comum nesses eventos a baixa presença de propagandas; e poucos funcionários, estes receptivos e comprometidos um atendimento baseado na hospitalidade. Sobre os perfis dos cardápios, houve predominância de itens da Cozinha Norte Americana, seguida da Italiana; e muitas opções de sanduíches diversos. Um ponto negativo nesses eventos é o fator higiene, pois medidas simples desse quesito não foram atendidas. Palavras-chave:cardápios; evento gastronômico; street food

Young Adults’ Security Perceptions: Troubling, but an Opportunity for the Response Field
Authors: Vermeulen Karla 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
While today’s young adults are often vilified as hypersensitive and narcissistic, it is important to understand how the life experiences of the current generation of 18- to 25-year-olds has shaped their worldviews. This research indicates that growing up in the post-9/11 world has exposed them to a reduction in liberty, increased prejudice and mistrust, and a general sense of fear and insecurity. However, it has also helped them understand that disasters can impact anyone, and instilled a strong belief that people should help each other in times of need. These are characteristics that emergency managers and response professionals should view as strengths to be capitalized on among entry-level hires are who drawn to the field.

Optofluidic bioanalysis: fundamentals and applications
Authors: Ozcelik Damla , Cai Hong , Leake Kaelyn D. , Hawkins Aaron R. , Schmidt Holger 
Published: March 2017

Abstract:Over the past decade, optofluidics has established itself as a new and dynamic research field for exciting developments at the interface of photonics, microfluidics, and the life sciences. The strong desire for developing miniaturized bioanalytic devices and instruments, in particular, has led to novel and powerful approaches to integrating optical elements and biological fluids on the same chip-scale system. Here, we review the state-of-the-art in optofluidic research with emphasis on applications in bioanalysis and a focus on waveguide-based approaches that represent the most advanced level of integration between optics and fluidics. We discuss recent work in photonically reconfigurable devices and various application areas. We show how optofluidic approaches have been pushing the performance limits in bioanalysis, e.g. in terms of sensitivity and portability, satisfying many of the key requirements for point-of-care devices. This illustrates how the requirements for bianalysis instruments are increasingly being met by the symbiotic integration of novel photonic capabilities in a miniaturized system.
Acetylene selective hydrogenation: a technical review on catalytic aspects
Authors: Takht Ravanchi Maryam , Sahebdelfar Saeed , Komeili Samane 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe catalytic selective hydrogenation of multiunsaturated hydrocarbons, especially in pyrolysis products, to corresponding mono-olefins is a widely exploited way for the large-scale production of polymer-grade olefins as well as fuel upgrading. Thermodynamic and/or kinetic parameters could be effective for selective operation. The latter is primarily influenced by catalyst formulation, including promoters, support type, and metal dispersion and distribution. The solution to achieve an economically attractive commercial implementation lies in defining the optimal catalyst design and operating conditions. The theoretical and practical aspects of catalysis for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene are reviewed and the potential new ways to improve catalyst formulation are examined.
Re‐evaluating the foundations of lncRNA–Polycomb function
Authors: Blanco Mario R , Guttman Mitchell 
Published: March 2017

Many lncRNAs are thought to interact with the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) in order to regulate gene expression. A central example of this lncRNA–PRC2 paradigm in gene regulation is HOTAIR. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, a study (Portoso et al, ) reports that while HOTAIR binds PRC2 with high affinity, the complex itself is dispensable for HOTAIR‐mediated transcriptional silencing. This study raises important questions about the role of PRC2 interactions for lncRNA‐mediated functions and argues for a re‐evaluation of this lncRNA–PRC2 functional paradigm.
