Speaking up about oracy: the contribution of drama pedagogy to enhanced oral communication
Authors: Stinson Madonna 
Published: November 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to consider the growing interest in oracy and to propose the pedagogy of process drama as an ideal model for the dialogic classroom.Design/methodology/approach– This paper takes the form of an explanatory case study where the author draws on a successful drama/oracy project in a primary school in Brisbane, Australia, to illustrate the connections between Alexander’s five indicators of a dialogic classroom and the process drama in which the students participated.Findings– The application of this process drama as pedagogy for the teaching and learning of oracy has contributed positively to students’ oral communication skills and intercultural awareness. In addition, parents provide positive feedback about student engagement in school and developing self-confidence because “they have something to say”.Research limitations/implications– There was no formal pre-post test for the oral communication skills on this study, instead the researchers developed a draft “oracy” checklist which deserves further interrogation and development.Practical implications– There are implications for the use of process drama as a means of creating and sustaining the dialogic classroom. Teacher professional development would be required to assist the planning and delivery of dramas that allow for the deep and complex learning evidenced in this study.Social implications– This is an ideal vehicle for assisting in the development of empathy, collaboration, emotional intelligence and intercultural understanding.Originality/value– This is an example of an extremely high-quality curriculum plan and implementation. The importance of engaging in implicit and explicit instruction of oral communication for the twenty-first century should not be underestimated. The process drama allows oral language to be foregrounded, with additional learning opportunities from a range of other learning areas, brought together in a coherent and complex model of practice.
The significance of the interaction of stability and damage propagation in metallic and composite panels
Authors: Horst Peter 
Published: November 2015

Purpose– In general two main types of criteria are essential for the sizing of aircraft structural panels, namely, stability and damage tolerance. The way these criteria act and interact is very different for metallic and composite building blocks. While interaction of both types of criteria is relatively clear for composite parts, this is normally not the case for metallic ones. What is common for both is the fact that, if an interaction occurs, the impact is essential. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach– This is a survey paper.Findings– There is a strong mutual influence of buckling and damage in many cases.Originality/value– It shows the significance of both, buckling and damage as a combined phenomenon.
Potentially Inappropriate Medication and Health Care Outcomes: An Instrumental Variable Approach
Authors: Chen Chi‐Chen , Cheng Shou‐Hsia 
Published: November 2015

ObjectiveTo examine the effects of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use on health care outcomes in elderly individuals using an instrumental variable (IV) approach.Data Sources/Study SettingRepresentative claim data from the universal health insurance program in Taiwan from 2007 to 2010.Study DesignWe employed a panel study design to examine the relationship between PIM and hospitalization. We applied both the naive generalized estimating equation (GEE) model, which controlled for the observed patient and hospital characteristics, and the two‐stage residual inclusion (2SRI) GEE model, which further accounted for the unobserved confounding factors. The PIM prescription rate of the physician most frequently visited by each patient was used as the IV.Principal FindingsThe naive GEE models indicated that patient PIM use was associated with a higher likelihood of hospitalization (odds ratio [OR], 1.399; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 1.363–1.435). Using the physician PIM prescribing rate as an IV, we identified a stronger significant association between PIM and hospitalization (OR, 1.990; 95 percent CI, 1.647–2.403).ConclusionsPIM use is associated with increased hospitalization in elderly individuals. Adjusting for unobserved confounders is needed to obtain unbiased estimates of the relationship between PIM and health care outcomes.
‘A good deal of Trash’: Reading Societies, Religious Controversy and Networks of Improvement in Eighteenth‐Century Scotland
Authors: Dick Alexander 
Published: November 2015

AbstractScholars generally agree that the reading societies that developed with Scottish improvement in the eighteenth century signal that country's secularisation. Yet historical evidence suggests that devotional or ‘covenantal’ reading practices, derived from Calvinist theology, persisted in reading clubs and societies, especially in rural areas, alongside the ‘emulative’ reading being encouraged by the denizens of improvement and enlightenment. This paper tracks the tensions and intersections between these two practices in the Scottish improvement network. It ends with a reading of a poem by Burns illustrating the way these reading practices intersect.
Mary Steele, Mary Hays and the Convergence of Women's Literary Circles in the 1790s
Authors: Whelan Timothy 
Published: November 2015

AbstractA circle of Dissenting women writers that began in the 1770s, centred on Mary Steele of Broughton and Elizabeth Coltman of Leicester, merged in the 1790s in London with a group of Dissenting literary women and men revolving around William Godwin, Mary Hays and Crabb Robinson, a phenomenon revealed almost exclusively through informal life‐writings and poems, most of which have remained in manuscript. This cross‐pollination of women's literary coteries reveals much about how eighteenth‐century women's literary networks were formed and perpetuated, how they overcame geographical boundaries and how they enriched the lives of their members and their male friends.
Transpennine Enlightenment: The Literary and Philosophical Societies and Knowledge Networks in the North, 1781‐1830
Authors: Mee Jon , Wilkes Jennifer 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThis essay investigates the role of the literary and philosophical societies in Manchester (1781) and Newcastle (1793) as part of the wider network of the ‘the transpennine Enlightenment’. It argues that these societies were concerned not just with the science and technology interface, but also with polite letters and general ‘improvement’. Originating in conversation societies, they were committed to the collision of mind. Although they banned religious and political controversy, they were not free of conflict over the mode and purpose of the improvement they sponsored, an issue illustrated by the public quarrel over the ‘New Institution’ at Newcastle in 1808.
Introduction
Authors: Mee Jon 
Published: November 2015

AbstractEighteenth‐century Britain was a heavily networked domain self‐consciously committed to the dissemination of improvement. Clubs and societies of all kinds were deeply invested in this process. They served as nodes in larger networks that crisscrossed the country and reached out to global readers. Town histories frequently pointed to their existence as proof of improvement in itself, but clubs and societies frequently found themselves in internal conflict over their aims and objectives. This special issue investigates networks of improvement as they manifested themselves in a variety of associational forms across the long eighteenth century.

BackgroundSecure attachment is associated with optimal outcomes across all domains in childhood, and both insecure and disorganised attachment are associated with a range of later psychopathologies. Insecure and disorganised attachment are common, particularly in disadvantaged populations, pointing to the need to identify effective methods of addressing such problems.AimsThis paper presents the findings of a review of secondary and primary studies evaluating the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving attachment and attachment‐related outcomes on a universal, targeted or indicated basis, which was undertaken as part of an update of the evidence base for a UK‐based national programme targeting children aged 0–5 years (Healthy Child Programme).MethodA systematic search of key electronic databases was undertaken to identify secondary and primary sources of data that addressed the research question and that had been published between 2008 and 2014; search sources included Cochrane Collaboration, NICE, EPPI Centre, Campbell Collaboration and PubMed, PsychInfo, CINAHL databases.FindingsSix systematic reviews and 11 randomised controlled trials were identified that had evaluated the effectiveness of universal, selective or indicated interventions aimed at improving attachment and attachment‐related outcomes in children aged 0–5 years. Potentially effective methods of improving infant attachment include parent–infant psychotherapy, video feedback and mentalisation‐based programmes. Methods that appear to be effective in improving attachment‐related outcomes include home visiting and parenting programmes.ConclusionsA number of methods of working to promote attachment and attachment‐related outcomes in preschool children are now being recommended as part of the Healthy Child Programme. The implications in terms of the role and contribution of practitioners working in child and adolescent mental health service are discussed.

SummaryObjectiveWe have previously reported a new luteal‐phase ovarian stimulation (LPS) strategy for infertility treatment. The purpose of this study was to systematically assess the efficiency and safety of this strategy by comparing it with conventional ovarian stimulation protocols.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SubjectsPatients with normal ovarian reserve undergoing ovum pick‐up (OPU) cycles between April 2012 and September 2013 were enrolled: 708 patients underwent the LPS protocol compared with 745 patients who underwent the mild treatment protocol and 1287 patients who underwent the short‐term protocol.MeasurementsNumber of mature oocytes retrieved and top‐quality embryos obtained, implantation rate, pregnancy rate, live birth and ongoing pregnancy rate and neonatal outcomes.ResultsThe numbers of mature oocytes retrieved and top‐quality embryos obtained per OPU cycle were significantly increased in the LPS group (10·9 ± 7·6 and 4·6 ± 4·3, respectively) compared with the mild treatment group (3·7 ± 3·0 and 1·8 ± 1·8, respectively, both P < 0·001) or the short‐term group (9·1 ± 5·5 and 3·7 ± 3·1, respectively, both P < 0·001). Moreover, the total gonadotrophin used was also the highest in the LPS group. No significant differences were identified in the implantation rate (35·5% vs 34·8%, P > 0·05), pregnancy rate (46·2% vs 43·7%, P > 0·05) or live birth and ongoing pregnancy rate (44·4% vs 41·7%, P > 0·05) per frozen‐thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle in the LPS and mild treatment groups, respectively. However, the LPS protocol achieved a higher implantation rate (35·5% vs 31·8%, P = 0·012), pregnancy rate (46·2% vs 41·9%, P = 0·041), and live birth and ongoing pregnancy rate (44·4% vs 39·2%, P = 0·012) compared with the short‐term protocol. Neonatal outcomes in the LPS group were similar to the other two groups.ConclusionsThe available data suggest that LPS is a feasible strategy for infertility treatment and complements the available follicular‐phase ovarian stimulation strategies.

Published: November 2015

AbstractAimo examine the association between glucose level during pregnancy and the subsequent development of long‐term maternal atherosclerotic morbidity.MethodsA retrospective case–control study was conducted. The study included all women who had at least one glucose measurement during their pregnancies. Cases were all women who delivered between the years 2000–2012 and subsequently developed atherosclerotic morbidity (n = 815). Controls were randomly matched by age and year of delivery (n = 6065). The atherosclerotic morbidity group was further divided by severity: major events (cardiovascular, cerebrovascular disease, chronic renal failure), minor events (hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia without target organ damage or complications) and cardiac evaluation tests (such as coronary angiography without records of atherosclerosis, cardiac scan and stress test). The mean follow‐up duration for the study group was 74 months. Cox proportional hazards model was used to control for confounders.ResultsA significant linear association was found between glucose levels during pregnancy and long‐term maternal atherosclerotic morbidity. Among the cases with severe atherosclerotic morbidity, the proportion of women with a high glucose level (> 5.5 mmol/l) was the highest, whereas in controls it was the lowest (P < 0.001). In a Cox proportional hazard model, adjusted for atherosclerotic confounders such as gestational diabetes, pre‐eclampsia and obesity, a glucose level of > 5.5 mmol/l was noted as an independent risk factor for hospitalizations later in non‐pregnant life (hazard ratio = 1.3, 95% confidence interval 1.1–1.5, P < 0.003).ConclusionA high glucose level during pregnancy, even if within the range of slight glucose intolerance, may serve as a marker for future maternal atherosclerotic morbidity. Further long‐term studies are needed to confirm our findings.
Impact of falls on mental health outcomes for older adult mental health patients: An Australian study
Authors: Heslop Karen Ruth , Wynaden Dianne Gaye 
Published: November 2015

AbstractSustaining a fall during hospitalization reduces a patient's ability to return home following discharge. It is well accepted that factors, such as alteration in balance, functional mobility, muscle strength, and fear of falling, are all factors that impact on the quality of life of elderly people following a fall. However, the impact that falls have on mental health outcomes in older adult mental health patients remains unexplored. The present study reports Health of the Nation Outcome Scale scores for people over the age of 65 (HoNOS65+), which were examined in a cohort of 65 patients who sustained a fall and 73 non‐fallers admitted to an older adult mental health service (OAMHS). Results were compared with state and national HoNOS65+ data recorded in Australian National Outcome Casemix Collection data to explore the effect that sustaining a fall while hospitalized has on mental health outcomes. Australian state and national HoNOS65+ data indicate that older adults generally experience improved HoNOS65+ scores from admission to discharge. Mental health outcomes for patients who sustained a fall while admitted to an OAMHS did not follow this trend. Sustaining a fall while admitted to an OAMHS negatively affects discharge mental health outcomes.
Dimensions et effets des activités informelles dans une très petite économie
Authors: BESIM Mustafa , EKICI Tufan , JENKINS Glenn P. 
Published: November 2015

RésuméLes auteurs évaluent l'emploi informel – et les revenus non déclarés qu'il engendre – dans une très petite économie à gouvernance médiocre. Les données d'une enquěte auprès des ménages et d'un recensement leur servent à estimer le nombre de travailleurs en emploi informel à Chypre‐Nord, ainsi que les caractéristiques de cet emploi, entre 2004 et 2011. Les travailleurs concernés sont essentiellement des citoyens non affiliés à la sécurité sociale, des immigrés employés illégalement ou des personnes ayant deux emplois dont un non déclaré. L'économie informelle aurait représenté 9,1 pour cent du PNB en 2006, et 12,2 en 2011.
Face à l'économie informelle au Mozambique: volontarisme ou maintien du statu quo?

Published: November 2015

RésuméL'économie informelle fournit l'essentiel de l'emploi dans nombre de pays émergents. Selon la théorie de la régulation, l'activité économique est régie par un ensemble complexe de règles formelles et informelles. Les auteurs examinent, à partir du cas du Mozambique, les éléments qui favorisent ou entravent la transition vers l'économie formelle, ainsi que les diverses formes de régulation, en s'appuyant sur une enquěte qualitative conjuguant observation directe et entretiens avec des personnalités locales. Les données recueillies font apparaître un rôle ambivalent de l'Etat, qui se montre parfois volontariste et soucieux de réformer la réglementation et les institutions et parfois partisan du statu quo.
Ampleur et modalités du non‐respect de la loi sur le travail dans l'industrie en Inde
Authors: CHATTERJEE Urmila , KANBUR Ravi 
Published: November 2015

RésuméS'il est notoire que le non‐respect du droit du travail est monnaie courante dans les pays en développement, on n'a guère d'éléments précis sur son ampleur. Les auteurs ont quantifé les violations de la loi indienne sur les établissements industriels: les entreprises contrevenantes sont le double de celles qui respectent la législation, mais aussi bien plus nombreuses que celles qui l'évitent. Ainsi ce non‐respect est‐il une caractéristique du «segment intermédiaire manquant» en Inde. Les auteurs explorent les grandes tendances et les modalités de ces violations et montrent les pistes à suivre par la recherche et pour l'action.
One‐note samba: the biogeographical history of the relict Brazilian butterfly Elkalyce cogina

Published: November 2015

AbstractAimBiogeographically puzzling taxa represent an opportunity to understand the processes that have shaped current species distributions. The systematic placement and biogeographical history of Elkalyce cogina, a small lycaenid butterfly endemic to Brazil and neighbouring Argentina, are long‐standing puzzles. We use molecular tools and novel biogeographical and life history data to clarify the taxonomy and distribution of this butterfly.LocationSouth America, with emphasis on the Atlantic Rain Forest and Cerrado biomes (Brazil and Argentina).MethodsWe gathered a data set of 71 Polyommatini (Lycaenidae) samples, including representatives of all described subtribes and/or sections. Among these, we contributed new sequences for E. cogina and four additional relevant taxa in the target subtribes Everina, Lycaenopsina and Polyommatina. We inferred a molecular phylogeny based on three mitochondrial genes and four nuclear markers to assess the systematic position and time of divergence of E. cogina. Ancestral geographical ranges were estimated with the R package BioGeoBEARS. To investigate heterogeneity in clade diversification rates, we used Bayesian analysis of macroevolutionary mixtures (bamm).ResultsOur results confirm the hypothesis that E. cogina belongs to the subtribe Everina and not Lycaenopsina, but unexpectedly recovered it as the sister group to the rest of Everina, with an estimated divergence time of approximately 10 Ma. Ancestral geographical range reconstruction points to an old colonization from Asia, the centre of diversity for the Everina, to the New World. The Neotropical Polyommatina lineage diversified to produce almost 100 species in multiple genera, whereas the E. cogina lineage did not diversify at all. Such lack of diversification is unique among the seven Everina/Polyommatina lineages that colonized the New World. We also show that the larvae of E. cogina feed on Fabaceae, supporting the identification of this host‐plant family as the ancestral state for the whole group.Main conclusionsThe age and biogeographical reconstruction of the Elkalyce lineage are similar to those of the Neotropical lineage of Polyommatina and suggest that both travelled via the route proposed by Vladimir Nabokov (Asia–Beringia–North America–South America). This coincidence suggests that the climatic conditions at c. 10 Ma favoured dispersal from Asia to the Neotropics and that later events may have erased traces of these butterfly lineages in North America.
Unequal Carbon Exchanges: The Environmental and Economic Impacts of Iconic U.S. Consumption Items
Authors: Prell Christina , Feng Kuishuang 
Published: November 2015

SummaryIn this article, we track how consumption in the United States, a highly developed “core” country, triggers value added and carbon inequalities around the globe. We consider these two sources of inequality for all commodities and services consumed in the United States, and then for three specific sectors, these being electronics, motor vehicles, and wearing apparel. Our findings show how the production of commodities for U.S. consumption tends to reify inequalities between countries. Larger shares of value added (in comparison to shares of carbon emissions) are generally experienced by more‐developed, more‐integrated countries, whereas the opposite tendency is experienced in less‐developed, less‐integrated regions. We note how these between‐country differences can depend on the product chains that are analyzed. Our article makes use of a novel combination of social network analysis and multiregional input‐output analysis to better capture some intuitive ideas of global trade and its consequences.

AbstractOBJECTIVESTo describe Angiostrongylus vasorum infection in a series of clinical cases over a 12‐month period, report the use of quantitative PCR on broncho‐alveolar lavage fluid and investigate the ‐possibility of previously undiagnosed angiostrongylosis in a retrospective cohort of coughing and healthy dogs.METHODSPulmonary angiostrongylosis was diagnosed based on compatible clinical signs and positive quantitative PCR on broncho‐alveolar lavage fluid and/or positive Baermann examination. Quantitative PCR was also performed retrospectively on broncho‐alveolar lavage fluid from 65 dogs (55 coughing and 10 healthy dogs), examined between 2008 and 2014; results of Baermann examination were also available in 33 dogs.RESULTSSeven young adult dogs from Southeastern Belgium with respiratory clinical signs were diagnosed with angiostrongylosis between March 2013 and April 2014. Positive broncho‐alveolar lavage fluid quantitative PCR results and positive Baermann examination were obtained in 5/5 and 2/5 dogs, respectively. In the remaining two dogs, only Baermann analysis was performed. Among the retrospective cohorts, only one broncho‐alveolar lavage fluid from a coughing dog was quantitative PCR‐positive whereas all faecal samples were negative.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEUntil recently, canine angiostrongylosis was not reported in Belgium. It should now be included in the differential diagnosis of coughing Belgian dogs. Identification of affected dogs may be aided by quantitative PCR on broncho‐alveolar lavage fluid.
