Cavafy’s web legacy: C. P. Cavafy in the public sphere of the Web 2.0
Authors: Sichani Anna-Maria 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
This article approaches the social and cultural aspects of engaging with and communicating C. P. Cavafy and his oeuvre in Web 2.0 platforms from an interdisciplinary point of view. By discussing the social web as a new discourse network, the article initially describes how the data architecture of the Web 2.0 ecology reconfigures communicative procedures, relations and roles towards a platformed sociality. It subsequently focuses on ways in which the transformation of the reader/user into a content-producer may enrich the engagement with the Cavafian oeuvre. The notion of digi-formance is also proposed to describe the tropes that the usergenerated content is communicated through Web 2.0 environments, inaugurating a participatory culture and practice based on notions of consumer production, remix and sharing. The article ends by further suggesting how the social web and digital networking technologies could remodel literary sociality, in which the Cavafian oeuvre and scholarship are submerged, within the digital era.
Film sport: Constraint and unrestraint in the 48-Hour Film Competition
Authors: Mercier Ocean Ripeka 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Limited-time film-making and 48-Hour Film Competitions give people with a range of film-making experience a forum where their film can be made and screened in a short time under highly specific conditions and constraints. Their low budget and hasty construction means they operate in similar contexts to traditional amateur film-making, yet the conditions and constraints put in place by the competition means they are formed from a process more akin to a sporting event. The New Zealand version of the ‘the 48’ has screened hundreds of short films. This article describes the experiences of 26 New Zealand competition participants, explores the convergence of sport and film-making practice in their experience, and analyses some 48-Hour films. Certain conditions of ‘constraint’ produce adherence to the game-like challenges, but others permit and foster unrestraint from competitors, and this unrestraint differentiates 48-Hour films from industry-produced and other amateur film.
‘You’re what’s wrong with me’: Fish Tank, The Selfish Giant and the language of contemporary British social realism
Authors: Nwonka Clive James 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Contemporary British social realism has rapidly gained critical adherents in mainstream film critique, with the 2009 film Fish Tank hailed as a triumphant demonstration of British political cinema. The 2013 film The Selfish Giant followed this trend, and both have been aggrandized as a concrete critique of social inequality and, in a similar vein to the films of Ken Loach, offer an insight into the destabilizing effects of living with marginalized social categories. However, this article contends that the representation of working-class characters in Fish Tank and The Selfish Giant can also be interpreted as a depoliticized form of British social realism that fails to effectively depict the scope of social inequality or critique current policies and problems. This article interrogates the critical responses that annex Fish Tank and the Selfish Giant with Loach’s body of films and suggests that the texts form part of a broader trend of decontextualization in contemporary British social realism.
Moving image installation, the embodied spectator of cinema and Amar Kanwar: Learning from intermediality
Authors: Rutherford Anne 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
This article juxtaposes cinema and moving image installation to question the ways cinema studies has understood embodied spectatorship. Through a close study of Amar Kanwar’s moving image installation, The Sovereign Forest, exhibited at ‘documenta 13’, the article draws on an intermedial approach to explore emerging transformations in the phenomenological dynamics of the moving image. The article explores how the concrete, multisensory experience of Kanwar’s installation trains the sensorium of the viewer, opening new possibilities for the moving image. This concrete physicality serves as a point of reference to refocus and sharpen the understanding of the more complex kinaesthetic dimensions of cinema spectatorship.

Architecture as Political Image: The Perspective of Advertising
Authors: Cairns Graham 
Published: December 2015

In the realm of contemporary politics, the need to “communicate” is paramount. Some call political communication a process of manipulation, others a dark art of depict. Here, it will be examined as a form of promotion; as a form of advertising. However, it is an advertising typology that clearly appropriates architecture to its own persuasive ends.
The world of advertising has been subject to numerous developments throughout the course of its history. In the last three decades this has seen what had become the standard mode of visual communication, semiotics, replaced by divergent and ever more sophisticated systems. These systems, we suggest, require the application of phenomenology as an analytical framework if we are to fully understand how they work. However, the importance of semiotic systems of communication has not evaporated. They remain core to advertising and, although obvious to a now fully visually literate public, a reasonably effective technique. They also remain evident in the realm of architecture, political communication and, as we describe here, the combination of the two.
Examining two images of Barack Obama form the 2008 Presidential election in the United States, this paper underlines how core aspects of the standard semiotic system of analysis clearly reveal the promotional and persuasive techniques employed in “political imagery”. However, it also describes how they are incorporated into a broader framework of the politico-media-complex and how this has helped transform their communicative strategies into techniques which require the application of a phenomenological analysis. Employing the terminology of Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, Judith Williamson, Noam Chomsky and Maurice Merleau Ponty it will describe these images in fully advertising terms; an approach that turns the politics in play into a form of commercial exercise and the candidate promoted into a “product”. The communicative techniques revealed are of course applied by all parties and individuals operating within the competitive political arena but these images of Barack Obama are perhaps the ones that reveal the similarities between the advertising and politics, and their use of architecture, most succinctly.

Authors: Fitzpatrick Elizabeth M. , Hamel Candyce , Stevens Adrienne , Pratt Misty , Moher David , Doucet Suzanne P. , Neuss Deirdre , Bernstein Anita , Na Eunjung 
Published: December 2015

CONTEXT:
Permanent hearing loss affects 1 to 3 per 1000 children and interferes with typical communication development. Early detection through newborn hearing screening and hearing technology provide most children with the option of spoken language acquisition. However, no consensus exists on optimal interventions for spoken language development.

OBJECTIVE:
To conduct a systematic review of the effectiveness of early sign and oral language intervention compared with oral language intervention only for children with permanent hearing loss.

DATA SOURCES:
An a priori protocol was developed. Electronic databases (eg, Medline, Embase, CINAHL) from 1995 to June 2013 and gray literature sources were searched. Studies in English and French were included.

STUDY SELECTION:
Two reviewers screened potentially relevant articles.

DATA EXTRACTION:
Outcomes of interest were measures of auditory, vocabulary, language, and speech production skills. All data collection and risk of bias assessments were completed and then verified by a second person. Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to judge the strength of evidence.

RESULTS:
Eleven cohort studies metinclusion criteria, of which 8 included only children with severe to profound hearing loss with cochlear implants. Language development was the most frequently reported outcome. Other reported outcomes included speech and speech perception.

LIMITATIONS:
Several measures and metrics were reported across studies, and descriptions of interventions were sometimes unclear.

CONCLUSIONS:
Very limited, and hence insufficient, high-quality evidence exists to determine whethersign language in combination with oral language is more effective than oral language therapy alone. More research is needed to supplement the evidence base.
School-Based Mindfulness Instruction: An RCT
Authors: Sibinga Erica M.S. , Webb Lindsey , Ghazarian Sharon R. , Ellen Jonathan M. 
Published: December 2015

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Many urban youth experiencesignificant and unremitting negative stressors, including those associated with community violence, multigenerational poverty, failing educational systems, substance use, limited avenues for success, health risks, and trauma. Mindfulness instruction improves psychological functioning in a variety of adult populations; research on mindfulness for youth is promising, but has been conducted in limited populations. Informed by implementation science, we evaluated an adapted mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program to ameliorate the negative effects of stress and trauma among low-income, minority, middle school public school students.

METHODS:
Participants were students at two Baltimore City Public Schools who were randomly assigned by grade to receive adapted MBSR or health education (Healthy Topics [HT]) programs. Self-report survey data were collected at baseline and postprogram. Deidentified data were analyzed in the aggregate, comparing MBSR and HT classes, by using regression modeling.

RESULTS:
Three hundred fifth- to eighth-grade students (mean 12.0 years) were in MBSR and HT classes and provided survey data. Participants were 50.7% female, 99.7% African American, and 99% eligible for free lunch. The groups were comparable at baseline. Postprogram, MBSR students had significantly lower levels of somatization, depression, negative affect, negative coping, rumination, self-hostility, and posttraumatic symptom severity (all Ps &lt; .05) than HT.

CONCLUSIONS:
These findings support the hypothesis that mindfulness instruction improves psychological functioning and may ameliorate the negative effects of stress and reduce trauma-associated symptoms among vulnerable urban middle school students. Additional research is needed to explore psychological, social, and behavioral outcomes, and mechanisms of mindfulness instruction.

Published: December 2015

<p>O feijão-caupi tem grande importância socioeconômica, pois é um componente da dieta alimentar, especialmente pelo seu valor nutritivo e fonte de renda para agricultura familiar. Entretanto é uma cultura sensível a salinidade da água de irrigação e solo, o que impossibilita o cultivo em áreas afetadas por sais. Neste sentido, objetivou-se com o trabalho avaliar o crescimento de genótipos de feijão-caupi irrigados com água salina, a fim de fornecer subsídios ao cultivo em regiões afetadas por sais. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em casa de vegetação da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 2 x 5, sendo os tratamentos compostos de dois níveis de condutividade elétrica da água (A1 - água de abastecimento com 0,8dSm-1 e A2 - solução salina 4,8 dSm-1) e cinco genótipos de feijão-caupi (G1 - MNC04-762F-9, G2 - MNC04-762F-3, G3 - MNC04-762F-21, G4 - MNC04-769F-62 e G5 - MNC04-765F-153) com 4 repetições, resultante em 10 tratamentos. Aplicação dos tratamentos com água salina teve inicio aos 12 dias após o semeio (DAS). As variáveis analisadas foram, altura de plantas (ALT), número de folhas (NF), e diâmetro do caule (DC), nas épocas de avaliação correspondente aos 27, 42, 57 e 72 dias após a semeadura (DAS) e massa seca das folhas (MSF), massa seca do caule (MSC), massa seca da raiz (MSR) e massa seca da parte aérea (MSPA).
