The rough riders: An exploration of theatricality, masculinity, identities and voyeurism in Canadian football
Authors: Sandoval Jorge 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This article explores the notions of performance and performativity through the activities of the male fan base of the Canadian football team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders (CFL /Regina Saskatchewan). It considers the carnivalization of fandom through the lens of the theatrical event and examines how normative gender identities are simultaneously constructed and reconstructed on the field and in the stands. Saskatchewan’s football team, The Roughriders, has the biggest fan base within the Canadian Football League. Male fans practice orthodox masculinity by cheering the team with cultish fervor fuelled by alcohol, chants and, paradoxically, by costuming their bodies in forms of high camp drag. This action transforms the traditional football field into a spectacle in which inverted forms of gender display and voyeurism form no small part. Green body make-up, wigs, masks, watermelon helmets and fake breasts queer fans’ bodies through performative gestures that temporarily reconstruct genders. Finally, the article considers these actions in relation to the celebration of the hyper-masculinized body of the athletes positioning the football stadium as a highly theatricalized third space in which two representations of masculinity are performed simultaneously.

Published: August 2016

The purpose of this study; is to determine the political literacy levels of pre-service teachers of social studies and to demonstrate the effects of the several variables over the components of political literacy (knowledge and understanding- dispositions and values-skills and aptitudes). Researchers use political literacy scale which have 3 components for gathering data. The sample is 1187 pre-service teachers from 7 geographical regions and this sample chosen wia maximum variation sampling. After collecting the data, researchers found that pre-service teacher’s knowledge, disposition and skills were at a medium level. When the averages of total scores that pre-service teachers obtained from three different components forming the political literacy were examined, it was seen that their political literacy levels were at a medium level. When the relationship among the components forming the political literacy, it was found that there was a positive, low level and significant relationship between knowledge and disposition; a positive high level and significant relationship between knowledge and skill; a positive, high level and significant relationship between disposition and skill.

Urban park soundscape in distinct sociocultural
and geographical contexts
Authors: Lobo Soares Antonio Carlos , Bento Coelho J. Luis 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The importance of soundscape in urban public
parks has galvanised researchers concerned with improving
the sound environment in cities. Existing literature reveals,
however, a relative paucity of studies on soundscape
in particular sociocultural and environmental contexts,
and on the influence of these contexts in the perception of
the urban sound space.Within this framework, this paper
investigates the soundscape of parks in the cities of Belém,
Brazil, and Lisbon, Portugal. The influence of geography
and climate as determinant of activities and behaviors, the
emission of natural and man-made sounds that characterise
the soundscape of urban parks, the way park users
evaluate the quality of sound environments were analysed,
as were other elements that contribute for such an
appreciation. The methodology encompassed sound measurements
inside and outside the parks, analysis of the audibility
of identifiable sound sources, study of local uses
and activities through soundwalks and interviews, and assessment
of responses to enquiries. The results shows that
the soundscape of park depends on different features such
as geography, climate, urban architecture, park infrastructure,
sound sources, and most importantly the visitors’ expectations
for the planned activities, together with their
other sensorial responses, which proved to be different in
distinct sociocultural and environmental contexts.
Between Trauma and Nostalgia. The Intellectual Ethos and Generational Dynamics of Memory in Postsocialist Romania
Authors: Georgescu Diana 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
In Romania, as elsewhere in Eastern Europe, the collapse of communism triggered a testimonial drive that shifted from early concerns with victimhood, justice, and retribution to seemingly apolitical revivals of everyday life under socialism. Drawing on a range of memoirs of socialist childhood published over the last decade by an aspiring generation of Romanian writers, this article examines the role of public intellectuals in articulating hegemonic representations of the socialist past. To understand both the enduring power and limits of such representations, the author argues that published recollections should not be read only for their (competing) perspectives on the past, but also for the sociopolitical effects they have in the transitional present, where they facilitate the socialization of emerging writers into the ethos of the postsocialist intelligentsia. Exploring the tenuous relationship between dominant intellectual discourses and social memory in postsocialist Romania, this article aims to throw light on the tensions at the heart of broader processes of democratization, diversification and commodification of social memory in Eastern Europe.
‘Project 1990’ as an Anti-Monument in Bucharest and the Aestheticisation of Memory
Authors: Preda Caterina 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This article analyses ‘Project 1990’ (2010–2014) as an example of ‘art of memorialisation’. The project included twenty temporary artistic interventions on the empty pedestal of the former statue of Lenin in Bucharest. The author compares this example of art of memorialisation to other memory strategies found in the Romanian public space after 1990. Building on James Young’s concept of anti-monument, ‘Project 1990’ questioned the ways in which communism is remembered in Romania, and how the transition to democracy, in the opinion of many of the exhibiting artists, failed. This curatorial project is a good example of the aestheticisation of memory—that is the anti-nostalgic and ironic treatment of symbols of the past, among which Lenin himself.
New literature on the architecture of socialist modernity in Yugoslavia
Authors: Meder Iris 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
In this article, the author takes the reader on a tour of recent publications and exhibitions on the architecture of socialist modernity in Yugoslavia. She presents a vivid discussion of the most interesting and worthwhile examples of this architecture, as well as their architects and designers. Her survey takes in the hotel resorts along the Adriatic coast, post offices, children’s homes, museums, theatres, and memorial sites. It also covers special items, such as the K67 kiosk and the folding chair Rex, both of which—like the hotels and other buildings, with their manifold references to contemporary modernist architectural styles—ive up to world-level design standards.
VTA Projection Neurons Releasing GABA and Glutamate in the Dentate Gyrus
Authors: Ntamati Niels R. , Lüscher Christian 
Published: August 2016

AbstractBoth dopamine and nondopamine neurons from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) project to a variety of brain regions. Here we examine nondopaminergic neurons in the mouse VTA that send long-range projections to the hippocampus. Using a combination of retrograde tracers, optogenetic tools, and electrophysiological recordings, we show that VTA GABAergic axons make synaptic contacts in the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus, where we can elicit small postsynaptic currents. Surprisingly, the currents displayed a partial sensitivity to both bicuculline and NBQX, suggesting that these mesohippocampal neurons corelease both GABA and glutamate. Finally, we show that this projection is functionalin vivoand its stimulation reduces granule cell-firing rates under anesthesia. Altogether, the present results describe a novel connection between GABA and glutamate coreleasing of cells of the VTA and the dentate gyrus. This connection could be relevant for a variety of functions, including reward-related memory and neurogenesis.

Authors: McQuire Cheryl , Paranjothy Shantini , Hurt Lisa , Mann Mala , Farewell Daniel , Kemp Alison 
Published: August 2016

CONTEXT:Objective measurement of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is essential for identifying children at risk for adverse outcomes, including fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Biomarkers have been advocated for use in universal screening programs, but their validity has not been comprehensively evaluated.OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the validity of objective measures of PAE.DATA SOURCES:Thirteen electronic databases and supplementary sources were searched for studies published between January 1990 and October 2015.STUDY SELECTION:Eligible studies were those that evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of objective measures of PAE.DATA EXTRACTION:Three reviewers independently verified study inclusion, quality assessments, and extracted data.RESULTS:Twelve studies met inclusion criteria. Test performance varied widely across studies of maternal blood (4 studies; sensitivity 0%–100%, specificity 79%–100%), maternal hair (2 studies; sensitivity 19%–87%, specificity 56%–86%) maternal urine (2 studies; sensitivity 5%–15%, specificity 97%–100%), and biomarker test batteries (3 studies; sensitivity 22%–50%, specificity 56%–97%). Tests of the total concentration of 4 fatty acid ethyl esters (in meconium: 2 studies; in placenta: 1 study) demonstrated high sensitivity (82%–100%); however, specificity was variable (13%–98%).LIMITATIONS:Risk of bias was high due to self-report reference standards and selective outcome reporting.CONCLUSIONS:Current evidence is insufficient to support the use of objective measures of prenatal alcohol exposure in practice. Biomarkers in meconium and placenta tissue may be the most promising candidates for further large-scale population-based research.

Published: August 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
β blockers are widely used in the treatment of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. These medications cross the placenta and may cause physiologic changes in neonates exposed in utero. We sought to define the risks of neonatal hypoglycemia and bradycardia associated with maternal exposure to β blockers at the time of delivery in a large, nationwide cohort of Medicaid beneficiaries.

METHODS:
We used a cohort of 2 292 116 completed pregnancies linked to liveborn infants of Medicaid-enrolled women from 2003 to 2007. We examined the risks of neonatal hypoglycemia and neonatal bradycardia associated with maternal exposure to β blockers at the time of delivery. Propensity score matching was used to control for potential confounders including maternal demographics, obstetric and medical conditions, and exposure to other medications.

RESULTS:
There were 10 585 (0.5%) pregnancies exposed to β blockers at the time of delivery. The risk of neonatal hypoglycemia was 4.3% in the β blocker–exposed neonates versus 1.2% in the unexposed; the risk of neonatal bradycardia was 1.6% in the exposed versus 0.5% in the unexposed. After controlling for confounders, risk remained elevated for both neonatal hypoglycemia and bradycardia among exposed pregnancies versus unexposed (adjusted odds ratio, 1.68, 95% confidence interval, 1.50–1.89 and adjusted odds ratio, 1.29, 95% confidence interval, 1.07–1.55, respectively).

CONCLUSION
Our findings suggest that neonates born to mothers exposed to β blockers in late pregnancy, including labetalol, are at elevated risk for neonatal hypoglycemia and bradycardia.
ESP PRACTITIONERS’ ROLE AND THEIR ETHNOGRAPHY: A CASE STUDY OF ESP PRACTITIONERS AT THE INDONESIAN TERTIARY LEVEL
Authors: Muhrofi-Gunadi Kun Aniroh 
Published: August 2016

<p>This current research aims at revealing factual ESP practitioners’ roles at the tertiary level of education in Malang City, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and a survey using questionnaires involving 22 ESP practitioners selected randomly from several universities and colleges in Malang. To collect data on the roles of ESP practitioners, the present study adopted two sources in the questionnaires: First, the roles of ESP instructors as teachers, course designers, materials providers, researchers, and evaluators as proposed by Dudley-Evans and St. John (1998), and secondly as a practitioner who has intercultural competence and professional activity competence as defined by Luka (2004) and ethnography (Wall, 2014). The findings showed that the majority (70%) of ESP practitioners realized their roles and some (30%) claimed to learn more on mastering contents, providing materials, conducting research on needs analysis, learning intercultural competence, and realizing the needs to have experiences in industries or related work places of the students. Concerning their ethnography, the majority of ESP practitioners did not have the opportunity to teach, to have internship, and to work in industries. Only 2 (9.1%) ESP practitioners studied the field of what students learn. Future research on the collaboration between academics and practitioners is needed to make ESP classrooms a ‘real world’.</p>
ATTITUDES AND EXPERIENCES OF CLASSROOM SCIENCE: CHILDREN’S VOICES
Authors: Ward Gillian , Donnan Lauren E , McNabb Kirsten 
Published: August 2016

<p>This article draws on two studies that examined primary children’s attitudes towards science in the classroom and their experiences of science. Through the data drawn from semi-structured interviews, it was evident that the children were mostly positive about science, but their experiences of science in the classroom were not always how they would prefer their science learning to proceed. The findings highlight aspects of their experiences that enhanced or detracted from their interest in science. In particular, the students stated the importance of being taught relevant and meaningful science in a collaborative context. Children’s out-of-school contexts also became important in their learning of science. These findings are discussed, and suggestions are made for ways in which teachers can make changes to their planning and teaching in order to support positive attitudes to science within the classroom.</p>

Microdialysis-directed Intra-tumor Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Methotrexate in Mice and Humans
Authors: Alsulimani Helal H. , Kim Jonghan , Sani Shabnam N. 
Published: August 2016

Purpose. To develop a quantitative pharmacokinetic model to characterize the disposition of methotrexate (MTX) at tumor site in tumor-bearing mice and to predict MTX concentrations in the human tumor. Methods. The plasma profiles of MTX were obtained from normal mice, while microdialysis technique was employed to characterize the time course of MTX in tumor from breast tumor-bearing mice. Disposition profiles of plasma and tumor were analyzed by a hybrid physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (hPBPK) model that incorporates physiologically-relevant parameters such as tumor blood flow and volume, while plasma concentrations were used as a forcing input into the vascular-interstitial spaces of the tumor. The plasma profiles were initially described by a biexponential decay model to obtain a forcing function that enters into the vascular-interstitial spaces in the tumor. Using a defined forcing function, the tumor free concentrations were fitted to the hPBPK model. Based on the model developed, sensitivity analysis was conducted with a perturbation of PK parameters to predict different scenarios of intratumoral MTX transport. The relevant physiological PK parameters from the mouse model were then scaled-up and utilized to simulate human tumor concentrations. Results. The mouse hPBPK model adequately characterized the concentration-time profiles of MTX in both plasma and tumor and produced various transfer rate constants between plasma and tumor. Our model was also able to reasonably predict MTX concentrations in the human tumor when human physiological data were utilized. Conclusions. The hPBPK model was able to quantitatively characterize the atypical transport of MTX in the tumor, supporting the idea that microdialysis is a valuable tool to study tumor biodistribution of drugs and to predict tumor concentrations in humans based on the pre-clinical data. This information can ultimately aid in the development of anticancer drugs with improved PK profiles. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

Organogels in Drug Delivery: A Special Emphasis on Pluronic Lecithin Organogels
Authors: Alsaab Hashem , Bonam Sindhu Prabha , Bahl Dherya , Chowdhury Pallabita , Alexander Kenneth , Boddu Sai HS. 
Published: August 2016

Organogels have emerged as an alternative carrier for small and macromolecules via transdermal, oral, rectal and ophthalmic routes. Pluronic lecithin organogels (PLO gels) are lecithin-based organogels widely used in compounding pharmacies as a vehicle for enhancing the transdermal permeability of many therapeutic drugs. However, the scientific and systematic evidence in support of how well PLO gels help in transdermal delivery is scanty. Recently, some clinical studies have reported nearly complete lack of bioavailability of certain topically administered drugs from PLO gels. The present review aims at summarizing gels and organogels, with a focus on the use of PLO gels in transdermal drug delivery. A special emphasis is placed on controversies looming over the use of PLO gels as a delivery platform for drugs via transdermal route. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.
