Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elite Discourse in Re-branding Practices at Three Private Canadian Television Stations
Authors: Ali Christopher 
Published: March 2017

ABSTRACT This article explores the relationship between local television stations and national networks through a careful study of station re-branding. The relationship is explored through case studies of the three privately owned English-speaking television stations in Winnipeg, Canada. Through in-depth interviews with station and network executives, the author investigates the critical factors that facilitated the re-branding of Canada’s private television networks between 1997 and 2005. This period saw many English-speaking television networks unite their respective affiliate stations under a single logo and brand. Influenced by branding theory and scholarship on Canadian broadcasting, this article examines the shift away from local identification in Canadian broadcasting and the benefits, challenges, and resistances therein.
Defying the News: New Aesthetics of “Truth” in Popular Culture
Authors: Lithgow Michael 
Published: March 2017

ABSTRACT Aesthetics manifest a rationally ambiguous category of meaning that encompasses both relational and representational dimensions of communication. In this paper, I argue that (1) truth-claims have ontological consequences bound in the social commitments and obligations generated through expressive choices and interpellated audiences; (2) ontological implications entangle discourses of “truth” in the constitution of knowledge in ways that extend beyond rational argumentation into aesthetic experience; and (3) a reinterpretation of Kantian aesthetics offers a framework for understanding how aesthetic experiences influence the organization of relations of power.
Innis's Great Transformation: Staples Thesis/Medium Theory
Authors: Babe Robert E. 
Published: March 2017

Harold Innis inaugurated his research into Canadian economic history (staples studies) to countervail the purportedly universalist claims of mainstream economics; he believed the mainstream “justified” exploitation of the developing world by the wealthiest countries. Conversely, he sought out universalist principles in his media/communication work in order to countervail omnipresent misunderstanding in the world; he hoped to establish thereby a common ground conducive to world peace. The dialectic or contradiction of relativism/universalism in Innis’ two major inquiries has hitherto remained unrecognized, and constitutes the focus of this article.Harold Innis a entamé sa recherche sur l’histoire économique canadienne (théorie des principales ressources) pour contrer les postulats supposément universels de la science économique traditionnelle; il croyait que le courant traditionnel « justifiait » l’exploitation des pays en voie de développement par les pays les plus riches. Lui au contraire cherchait dans son travail sur les médias et la communication des principes universels qui supplanteraient cette incompréhension répandue dans le monde. Il espérait ainsi établir un terrain d’entente propice à favoriser la paix mondiale. La dialectique ou contradiction entre le relativisme et l’universalisme dans les deux enquêtes majeures effectuées par Innis n’a pas jusqu’à présent été reconnue, et constitue le sujet de cet article.

Authors: Vargas R Ledmar Jovanny , Sánchez H Sergio José , Suárez Chaparro Álvaro , Jiménez Peña Oscar M. 
Published: March 2017

La enfermedad de moyamoya (EMM) es una patología crónica caracterizada por la oclusión progresiva de la vasculatura cerebral y no aterosclerótica, generando un patrón angiográfico conocido como moyamoya, que en japonés hace alusión a la apariencia en "bocanada de humo", trae como consecuencia eventos cerebrovasculares isquémicos o hemorrágicos. Tiene dos picos de presentación, uno entre los 5 y 9 años y otro entre los 45 y 49 años, con un ligero predominio en mujeres, suele ser más frecuente en individuos de origen asiático, y menos en personas de origen hispano. El tratamiento de elección es el procedimiento quirúrgico precoz y su pronóstico no es totalmente predecible.
Reporte de caso: mujer de 44 años que ingresó por presentar movimiento tónico-clónicos y requirió IOT, con tomografía axial computarizada cerebral simple que mostró hematoma intraparenquimatoso izquierdo y arteriografía con patrón moyamoya. Se manejó en la unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, donde finalmente falleció.

Abstract
For simulations of flow and microbial conversion reactions, related to modeling of simultaneous extraction and fermentation process in a single sugar beet cossette a software package OpenFOAM was used. The mass transfer of the components (sucrose, glucose, fructose and ethanol) in the studied system was controlled by the convection and diffusion processes. Microbial conversion rates and yield coefficients were experimentally determined and/or estimated by mathematical simulation. Dimensions of the model sugar beet cossette (SBC) were: average length of cosettes 40.10 mm, average thickness 3.32 mm and average width 3.5 mm, and represented in the model as a square-shape cross-section mathematical simulation. Dimensions of the model sugar beet cossette (SBC) were: average length of cosettes 40.10 mm, average thickness 3.32 mm and average width 3.5 mm, and represented in the model as a square-shape cross-section used to study the mass transfer and microbial conversion rates on the scale of single sugar beet cossette in the short time scales (up to 25 s). This model can be used for simulation of extractant flow around single sugar beet cossette as well as for description of simultaneous extraction and fermentation process in the studied system.

Abstract
In order to obtain a natural apiphytotherapeutic formula with anti-parasite effect, as an alternative in the control of Nosema spp. infection, an original formula based on hydro-alcoholic extracts from plants and propolis was tested. Experiments were made on naturally infected adult bees from private apiaries diagnosed with nosemosis (Nosema apis/Nosema ceranae). Initially hydro-alcoholic extracts from plants in Romania’s flora and respectively from propolis (Apis mellifera), with sensorial, physical- chemical and microbiologic characteristics, in conformity with requirements in the European Pharmacopeia VIth Edition and Romanian Pharmacopeia Xth edition. Parasitosis was demonstrated through laboratory methods, respectively through direct microscopic examination, on bee samples collected from aviaries according to O.I.E. (World Organisation for Animal Health) methodology (2008). „In vitro“ lab testing of plant extracts and of work variants was done firstly on naturally infested polyfloral honey having an average concentration of 7 spores/ microscopic field of Nosema sp., with the purpose of selecting the most effective work variant which was afterwards tested „in vivo“ in private apiaries, on bee colonies. The results of the clinical study showed the absence of disease in 75% of the treated hives (33 hives), bees being declared clinically healthy. In 14 % of the hives (6 hives) infestation was weak, in 6.82% of the hives (3 hives) infestation was medium, and 4.55 % (2 hives) were diagnosed with a massive degree of infestation and the therapeutic protocol continued.

Abstract
Purpose: To examine brain diffusion characteristics in pediatric patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and an atlas-based anatomical analysis of the whole brain and to investigate whether these images have unique characteristics that can support functional diagnoses. Materials and Methods: Seventeen children with ADHD and ten control subjects (all age-matched) underwent MRI scans. The Institutional Ethics Board approved this study. Morphometric analysis was performed using MriStudio software. The diffusion images were normalized using a linear transformation, followed by large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM). For 189 parcellated brain regions, the volume, fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD), and radial diffusivity (RD) were measured. Results: Children with ADHD were found to have increase in the body of lateral ventricle volumes compared to the control. Increased MD was found in the deep gray matter, amygdala, thalamus, substantia nigra, and also the cerebellum left and right side. Increased RD was found in the deep gray matter, caudate, thalamus, substantia nigra and hippocampus left and right side compared to the control. Significant elevated FA was found in the bilateral splenium of the corpus callosum in ADHD patients. Conclusion: Children with ADHD display abnormal diffusion characteristics and anatomical features compared to healthy controls. DTI can provide sensitive information on integrity of white matter (WM) and intra-WM structures in ADHD.

Published: March 2017

Abstract
Here we provide our pipeline for antibody discovery process. Starting from de novo isolation from custom made phage display libraries to expression and downstream applications; it allows us to obtain recombinant antibodies with desired properties to vast set of antigens. We also developed the CYB5-fusion system for periplasmic expression of multimeric proteins with the possibility of process monitoring. The combination of redox dependent absorbance spectrum of red-colored cytochrome b5 with its high value molar extinction coefficient allows us to monitor antibody fusion proteins localization, redox state and quantify them in reliable way in turbid solutions. Moreover, it was revealed that due to outstanding stability and solubility, cytochrome b5 significantly enhances expression level of antibody fragments in Escherichia coli periplasm.
Traveling Words: A Reflection on “Rotundamente negra” and Afro-Descendant Women's Cultural Politics
Authors: Mosby Dorothy E. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This paper is both a personal reflection and critical analysis of the circulation of the poem “Rotundamente negra” by Afro-Costa Rican poet and cultural activist Shirley Campbell among Afro-descendant women in Latin America. As I heard various recitations and interpretations of the poem at several meetings of Afro-descendant social movements across the Americas, I was also bearing witness to the process by which creative cultural expressions become politicized and popularized by their audiences, especially Afro-descendant women, to reflect a collective desire, goal, and identity.
When the poem was first published in 1994, its circulation was limited among literary circles in Costa Rica and the local Afro-Costa Rican women's movement. Now a quick search on Google reveals hundreds of “hits” on social media sites and electronic magazines, revealing not only the impact of technology, but also of the physical transnational flows of Afro-descendant women and their ideas at conferences, meeting one another, and finding common ground through political activism and poetry. Most significant is the meaning women attach to the poem and the places where it is interpreted, recited, or posted. The circulation and the appeal of the poem signals that Black women in various parts of the Americas are collectively using it not only as a tool of self-expression, but also as a point of departure for consciousness-raising, identity formation, and collective action.
In a region where Black women live doubly-invisible lives amongst the most marginalized of the hemisphere, the poem is both a self-affirmation and a battle cry. The poem relates to the “everyday” of Black women's lives and reveals itself to be a seemingly “innocent” but influential tool of empowerment. Black women recognize themselves in the verses and they “recognize the array of forces controlling their lives” (Bobo 1995, 6). “Rotundamente negra” politicizes as it circulates through the Americas with its message of racial identification and pride that defies the homogenizing tendencies of mestizaje and blanqueamiento. The poem has become an affirming instrument to support, but also a meaningful platform for Black women's organizations, activists, and individuals.
Afro-Latin American Women Writers and the Historical Complexities of Reproducing Race
Authors: Morrison Karen Y. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This essay describes the common concerns about the social reproduction of race found in the works of pioneering Afro-Latin American writers Maria de Fermina Reis, Irma Pedroso, Carolina Maria de Jesus and Daisy Rubiera Castillo. Each was the first African-descended woman in Brazil or Cuba to author a fictional novel or testimonial autobiography. Although separated by time and place, they were united in their projection of a black racial pride that transcended the racist marginalization inflicted upon them and their communities. Each was an unacknowledged theorist of race, who sought to minimize its most oppressive characteristics, while celebrating blackness in their own powerful ways. Recognizing them as organic intellectuals of race and racialized reproduction opens a new character in Latin American intellectual history.
The Impact of Information Culture on Patient Safety Outcomes
Authors: Jylhä Virpi , Mikkonen Santtu , Saranto Kaija , Bates David 
Published: March 2017

SummaryBackground: An organization’s information culture and information management practices create conditions for processing patient information in hospitals. Information management incidents are failures that could lead to adverse events for the patient if they are not detected.Objectives: To test a theoretical model that links information culture in acute care hospitals to information management incidents and patient safety outcomes.Methods: Reason’s model for the stages of development of organizational accidents was applied. Study data were collected from a cross-sectional survey of 909 RNs who work in medical or surgical units at 32 acute care hospitals in Finland. Structural equation modeling was used to assess how well the hypothesized model fit the study data.Results: Fit indices indicated a good fit for the model. In total, 18 of the 32 paths tested were statistically significant. Documentation errors had the strongest total effect on patient safety outcomes. Organizational guidance positively affected information availability and utilization of electronic patient records, whereas the latter had the strongest total effect on the reduction of information delays.Conclusions: Patient safety outcomes are associated with information management incidents and information culture. Further, the dimensions of the information culture create work conditions that generate errors in hospitals.

Radio-interferometric Monitoring of FRB 131104: A Coincident AGN Flare, but No Evidence for a Cosmic Fireball
Authors: Shannon R. M. , Ravi V. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The localization of fast radio bursts (FRBs) has been hindered by the poor angular resolution of the detection observations and inconclusive identification of transient or variable counterparts. Recently a γ-ray pulse of 380 s duration has been associated with FRB 131104. We report on radio-continuum imaging observations of the original localization region of the FRB, beginning three days after the event and comprising 25 epochs over 2.5 years. We argue that the probability of an association between the FRB and the γ-ray transient has been overestimated. We provide upper limits on radio afterglow emission that would be predicted if the γ-ray transient was associated with an energetic γ-ray burst. We further report the discovery of an unusual variable radio source spatially and temporally coincident with FRB 131104, but not spatially coincident with the γ-ray event. The radio variable flares by a factor of 3 above its long-term average within 10 day of the FRB at 7.5 GHz, with a factor-of-2 increase at 5.5 GHz. Since the flare, the variable has persisted with only modest modulation and never approached the flux density observed in the days after the FRB. We identify an optical counterpart to the variable. Optical and infrared photometry, and deep optical spectroscopy, suggest that the object is a narrow-line radio active galactic nucleus.
Trajectoires post-coloniales de l’assimilation
Authors: Guyon Stéphanie 
Published: March 2017

Cet article s’intéresse à la singularité de l’appareil d’État dans les Outre-mer. Il appréhende la manière dont se sont historiquement construites et consolidées des formes singulières d’intervention étatique et de domination bureaucratique dans ces territoires. Tout en dressant un état de la littérature, il plaide pour une analyse du legs colonial attentive à la diversité des processus de décolonisation et à la complexité de leurs chronologies dans les Outre-mer. Loin de naturaliser « la spécificité » de l’État ultramarin, il envisage différents types de mobilisations qui construisent cette exceptionnalité et les processus de politisation ou de dépolitisation dans lesquelles elles s’inscrivent. En s’adossant à la sociologie du guichet, il aborde enfin l’adaptation en pratique de l’action publique dans la rencontre administrative ultramarine.
Numerical Modeling of Material Points Evolution in a System with Gravity
Authors: Melkikh A. V. , Melkikh E. A. , Kozhevnikov V. A. 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe evolution of material points interacting via gravitational force in 3D space was investigated. At initial moment points with masses of 2.48 Sun masses are randomly distributed inside a cube with an edge of 5 light-years. The modeling was conducted at different initial distributions of velocities and different ratios between potential and kinetic energy of the points. As a result of modeling the time dependence of velocity distribution function of points was obtained. Dependence of particles fraction which had evaporated frominitial cluster on time for different initial conditions is obtained. In particular, it was obtained that the fraction of evaporated particles varies between 0,45 and 0,63.Mutual diffusion of two classes of particles at different initial conditions in the case when at initial moment of time both classes of particles occupy equal parts of cube was investigated.The maximum Lyapunov exponent of the system with different initial conditions was calculated. The obtained value weakly depends on the ratio between initial kinetic and potential energies and amounts approximately 10–5. Corresponding time of the particle trajectories divergence turned out to be 40-50 thousand years.
