Authors: Nightingale Chandylen L. , Pereira Deidre B. , Curbow Barbara A. , Wingard John R. , Carnaby Giselle D. 
Published: July 2016

Purpose: Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients suffer from significant morbidity, which may introduce challenging care demands and subsequent stress-induced mind–body interactions for informal caregivers. This prospective study evaluated patient and caregiver predictors of diurnal cortisol rhythm among HNC caregivers during radiation treatment. Method: Patient–caregiver dyads completed measures at radiation treatment start (T1; n = 32) and 5 weeks into treatment (T2; n = 29). Measures included the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Head and Neck, the Caregiver Quality of Life (QOL) Index–Cancer, the Caregiver Reaction Assessment, the Medical Outcomes Social Support Survey, and the Eating Assessment tool. Patients also received a clinical swallowing evaluation using the Functional Assessment of Oral Intake Scale. Caregiver cortisol concentrations were assessed from salivary samples at T1 and T2. Results: Caregiver cortisol slope became significantly flatter during radiation treatment. Greater caregiver schedule burden was associated with a flatter cortisol slope (β = .35, p = .05) in caregivers at T1. Lower patient functional QOL (β = −.41, p = .05) and lower overall caregiver QOL at T1 (β = −.39, p = .04) were each separately associated with a flatter cortisol slope in caregivers over treatment. Conclusions: Results suggest the presence of a mind–body interaction in HNC caregivers. Dysregulation in diurnal cortisol rhythm in caregivers was significantly associated with increased caregiver schedule burden and lower patient and caregiver QOL. Targeted interventions developed for HNC caregivers may help to prevent negative health outcomes associated with dysregulated cortisol.

Background and Aims: Reconstruction with reconstitution of the container function of the abdominal compartment is increasingly being performed in patients with massive ventral hernia previously deemed inoperable. This situation places patients at great risk of severe intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome if organ failure ensues. Intra-abdominal hypertension and especially abdominal compartment syndrome may be devastating systemic complications with systematic and progressive organ failure and death. We thus reviewed the pathophysiology and reported clinical experiences with abnormalities of intra-abdominal pressure in the context of abdominal wall reconstruction. Material and Methods: Bibliographic databases (1950–2015), websites, textbooks, and the bibliographies of previously recovered articles for reports or data relating to intra-abdominal pressure, intra-abdominal hypertension, and the abdominal compartment syndrome in relation to ventral, incisional, or abdominal hernia repair or abdominal wall reconstruction. Results: Surgeons should thus consider and carefully measure intra-abdominal pressure and its resultant effects on respiratory parameters and function during abdominal wall reconstruction. The intra-abdominal pressure post-operatively will be a result of the new intra-peritoneal volume and the abdominal wall compliance. Strategies surgeons may utilize to ameliorate intra-abdominal pressure rise after abdominal wall reconstruction including temporizing paralysis of the musculature either temporarily or semi-permanently, pre-operative progressive pneumoperitoneum, permanently removing visceral contents, or surgically releasing the musculature to increase the abdominal container volume. In patients without complicating shock and inflammation, and in whom the abdominal wall anatomy has been so functionally adapted to maximize compliance, intra-abdominal hypertension may be transient and tolerable. Conclusions: Intra-abdominal hypertension/abdominal compartment syndrome in the specific setting of abdominal wall reconstruction without other complication may be considered as a quaternary situation considering the classification nomenclature of the Abdominal Compartment Society. Greater awareness of intra-abdominal pressure in abdominal wall reconstruction is required and ongoing study of these concerns is required.
Evolving Human Resource Development
Authors: Ruona Wendy E. A. 
Published: July 2016

The Problem After 20+ years of scholarly wrangling about the nature of the field, it seems that a great deal of coherence has emerged about the nature and forms of Human Resource Development (HRD), as evidenced in our literature and the scope and boundaries of our journals. However, paradoxically, just as this coalescence has taken root, a new challenge is emerging as related to HRD’s positioning in the evolving landscape of professions and disciplines. And, despite much progress around strategically positioning HRD, the field continues to struggle for needed power and influence within the professions, organizations, and governments. The Solution There is no easy solution that will clearly guide us through the next phase of HRD’s evolution. However, this article offers a review of where we have been and explores the complex dynamics that create the context in which we must act going forward. Two potential paths for HRD to navigate the territory ahead are outlined so that HRD leaders and scholars can consider the potential implications of each for practice and developing the knowledge needed to undergird the profession through research and theorizing. The Stakeholders HRD professionals may find this article useful in thinking about the nature of professionalization and the complex forces that are and will continue to affect HRD’s future. Potential future directions outlined here offer the opportunity for HRD scholars and scholar-practitioners to consider specific ways that they individually might respond through research, practice, and careering strategies to proactively shape the future.
The role of Sema3–Npn-1 signaling during diaphragm innervation and muscle development
Authors: Saller Maximilian Michael , Huettl Rosa-Eva , Hanuschick Philipp , Amend Anna-Lena , Alberton Paolo , Aszodi Attila , Huber Andrea B. 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
Correct innervation of the main respiratory muscle in mammals, namely the thoracic diaphragm, is a crucial pre-requisite for the functionality of this muscle and the viability of the entire organism. Systemic impairment of Sema3A–Npn-1 (Npn-1 is also known as NRP1) signaling causes excessive branching of phrenic nerves in the diaphragm and into the central tendon region, where the majority of misguided axons innervate ectopic musculature. To elucidate whether these ectopic muscles are a result of misguidance of myoblast precursors due to the loss of Sema3A–Npn-1 signaling, we conditionally ablated Npn-1 in somatic motor neurons, which led to a similar phenotype of phrenic nerve defasciculation and, intriguingly, also formation of innervated ectopic muscles. We therefore hypothesize that ectopic myocyte fusion is caused by additional factors released by misprojecting growth cones. Slit2 and its Robo receptors are expressed by phrenic motor axons and migrating myoblasts, respectively, during innervation of the diaphragm. In vitro analyses revealed a chemoattractant effect of Slit2 on primary diaphragm myoblasts. Thus, we postulate that factors released by motor neuron growth cones have an influence on the migration properties of myoblasts during establishment of the diaphragm.
Structured learning in paediatric vascular access: effects on clinical practice
Authors: Louise Hulse Anna 
Published: July 2016

Vascular access is an essential skill requirement for many health professionals. Traditionally, in-house medical and nurse training has revealed limited paediatric vascular access experience. Aim: To critically evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of a structured learning and assessment framework for paediatric vascular access and its impact on improving the learning experience, skill acquisition and retention of health professionals. Methods: A two-part retrospective (group 1) and prospective (group 2) study involving 49 health professionals was undertaken. Purposive sampling was used with the study method of survey to evaluate learning experience and assess if learning had been transferred into practitioner clinical practice. Results: Overall 61% of participants in group 1 were competent 12 months post training. In comparison, 57% in group 2 were competent 10 weeks post training. Conclusion: Findings highlight encouraging results with improvement in practitioner learning experience, skill acquisition and retention post framework implementation. Recommendations: A structured programme incorporating assessment is required with the use of multi-evaluation methods to evaluate education effectiveness.

Published: July 2016

Abstract
The aim of this research was to evaluate the influence of dyeing process on the quality of surface waters contaminated with heavy metals and organic compounds, resulted after the wool dyeing process. In order to mark out this aspects an environment friendly method was proposed which involves dyeing wool fiber with new complex combinations derived from a new acid dyes which were complexed, using copper, iron, nickel and zinc salts at 2:1 combination ratio. In order to point out the environmental point of view of wastewaters an experimental protocol was tested by dyeing wool fiber at different pH. Evaluation of complexed combinations impact on the environment involve the following indicators: consumption degree of dyeing solution from the process bath, treatment degree related to the organic content expressed by COD indicator and treatment degree related to the heavy metal concentration respectively.
Supply and demand effects in television viewing. A time series analysis
Authors: Vergeer Maurice , Eisinga Rob , Franses Hans 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In this study we analyze daily data on television viewing in the Netherlands. We postulate hypotheses on supply and demand factors that could impact the amount of daily viewing time. Although the general assumption is that supply and demand often correlate, we see that for television this is only marginally the case. Especially diversity of program supply, often deemed very important in media markets, does not affect (positively or negatively) television viewing behavior. Most variation in television viewing can be attributed to habit and to regular events (e. g. weekends, Christmas) and to unexpected events (e. g. the 9/11 WTC attack). We also find that weather conditions interact with program types, so that, for example, in winter times people favor entertainment programs even more, suggesting that people use television for mood management.
Tweeting television: Exploring communication activities on Twitter while watching TV
Authors: Buschow Christopher , Schneider Beate , Ueberheide Simon 
Published: July 2016

Abstract“Social TV”, described as the use of social media such as Twitter or Facebook stimulated by TV programs, is highly topical in the television industry. Communication research has fallen behind in addressing this issue. In this paper we explore the simultaneous communication activities of Twitter users while watching TV. Additionally, we tested whether different TV programs stimulate different communication activities. The main findings of our quantitative content analysis of approximately 30,000 messages show that communication within the Twitter community as well as evaluations of shows and actors are the main subjects of the explored tweets. We also found that different TV programs evoke different communication activities. While talent shows produce expressions of fandom and critiques of the candidates in the show, live events evoke a critical debate about the show itself and what’s happening on screen. Political talk shows can stimulate a public discourse.
Solid-state 29Si NMR and FTIR analyses of lignin-silica coprecipitates
Authors: Cabrera Yohanna , Cabrera Andrés , Larsen Flemming H. , Felby Claus 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
When agricultural residues are processed to ethanol, lignin and silica are some of the main byproducts. Separation of these two products is difficult and the chemical interactions between lignin and silica are not well described. In the present study, the effect of lignin-silica complexing has been investigated by characterizing lignin and silica coprecipitates by FTIR and solid state NMR. Silica particles were coprecipitated with three different lignins, three lignin model compounds, and two silanes representing silica-in-lignin model compounds. Comparison of 29Si SP/MAS NMR spectra revealed differences in the distribution of silanol hydroxyl groups among different coprecipitates. These differences are dependent on the lignin type. The results are interpreted that the underlying mechanism of the interactions is the formation of hydrogen bonds between lignin aliphatic hydroxyl or carboxyl groups and the silanols, but not a condensation of the silica-in-lignin among the silica particles and not the formation of C-O-Si bonds.
Kierkegaard on the Power of Love and Despair
Authors: Danko Christina 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Is it possible to live and love without despair? Kierkegaard raises this question by way of an anecdote about lost love in The Sickness unto Death. A girl believes she despairs over the loss of her beloved, but really despairs over herself. As such, her love is selfish and unhealthy. In Works of Love, Kierkegaard sheds light on an alternative approach to love via a similar anecdote. The girl experiences despair because she lacks the Eternal, not the beloved. In order to live and love without despair, she must recognize her essential dependence upon God, especially in her relationships.
A Figurative Necessity in Dealing with Selfhood in Kierkegaard’s Thinking
Authors: Nielsen Anne Louise 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
This article concerns the concept of selfhood in Kierkegaard’s thinking. First, it rejects any scholarly attempt to establish an essentialist metaphysics of selfhood in Kierkegaard; instead, it seeks to show how the author himself develops his thoughts on subjectivity by applying numerous literary figures and a good deal of irony. Secondly, the article underpins this reading by displaying a specific figure, “The Walking One,” that indicates that actual and individual existence is to be completed only in an actual and individual movement. From here, “The Walking One” opens up new vistas to recognition, communication and language-however, in a paradoxical way. This is proved through analyses of Philosophical Fragments (1844), The Sickness unto Death (1849) and also an upbuilding discourse “He is Believed in the World” (1847). In this light, it is argued that Kierkegaard performs a subtle dialectics between standstill and walking or between “break” and “practice.”
Kierkegaard as an Antimodern Moralist: Re-Thinking “Socio-Political” Categories in Recent Kierkegaard Scholarship
Authors: Rossatti Gabriel Guedes 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to reassess Kierkegaard’s position as a “sociopolitical” thinker. In Section I the limitations of certain prevailing interpretations of Kierkegaard’s socio-political thought are discussed. In Sections II and III I advance a hermeneutic label which I believe to be more adequate to his thought, that of “antimodern.” Finally, in Section IV I draw some general conclusions with regard to the importance-not only for socio-political studies of Kierkegaard but also for other approaches-of understanding his place in the tradition of thought to which he belongs: that of the “moralists.”
On Separation as the Condition for All Existential Ethics
Authors: Verstrynge Karl 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The solitary nucleus of the Kierkegaardian subject reduced existential selfhood from its very beginnings to an atomistic and Eleatic position. I wish to contend that this isolated self may not be easily reduced to an amoral self. Rather, this irreducibility or separation of the subject establishes the condition for any ethical demand. Even though this claim may finally reach beyond Kierkegaard, I argue that it provides us with a basis for all existential ethics.
Reue als Schlüssel zur existentiellen Selbstwerdung. Überlegungen im Anschluss an Kierkegaards Beichtrede von 1847
Authors: Winter Roman 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
This article seeks to interpret Kierkegaard’s concept of remorse as a key to the understanding of his conception of self-becoming. I argue that, according to Kierkegaard, remorse is to be considered an answer to guilt. Guilt, however, becomes a reality for-and becomes revealed to-its subject only vis-à-vis the Other. Accordingly, I further argue that Kierkegaard puts a special emphasis on the beholdenness of remorse: as an answer it is nevertheless and simultaneously a gift-a grace-of the Other, and therefore must be perceived in its irreducible dialectic of activity and passivity. In the mode of passivity the culprit suffers a conviction, or more precisely a verdict of truth; and yet, in order to incorporate this truth into his self, i.e., to become the self he truly is, he has to appropriate it, and such appropriation is, according to Kierkegaard, realized, and realized only, through the act of remorse. I unfold my interpretation primarily on the basis of Kierkegaard’s Leiligheds-Tale from 1847, yet contextualize it by drawing on his pseudonymous works also.
The Monumental Task of Kierkegaard’s Attack upon Christendom
Authors: Nowachek Matthew T. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
This essay develops the argument that Kierkegaard’s attack upon Christendom in his late writings can be fruitfully understood as a monumental task in two senses: first, as attacking the monuments of Christendom, and particularly those associated with Jakob Peter Mynster and Hans Lassen Martensen, and second, as itself a monument to the existential demand of what Kierkegaard identifies as authentic New Testament Christianity. Towards this end, the notion of the monument is introduced and employed to illuminate the critical and constructive nature of Kierkegaard’s attack. The essay concludes by reflecting on what it would mean to preserve such a Kierkegaardian monument.
Faith in the Mode of Absence: Kierkegaard’s Jewish Readers in 1930s France (Rachel Bespaloff, Benjamin Fondane, Lev Shestov, and Jean Wahl)
Authors: Fox-Muraton Mélissa 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In the 1930s, Jean Wahl, Lev Shestov, Benjamin Fondane, and Rachel Bespaloff were among the first to seriously introduce philosophical readings of Kierkegaard’s works in France. As Jewish intellectuals within a particularly troubled period in history, their readings of Kierkegaard were informed both by the problems of self-identification imposed upon them by the political context, and by a particular ontological understanding of human nature. This article argues that these considerations are essential for understanding how these early existential thinkers read the Dane and appealed to him in ways quite distinct from the Christian or atheist trends in existential philosophy.
Gesellschaft und Kritische Philosophie. Kierkegaards und Jaspers’ Analyse der geistigen Situation Europas im Vergleich
Authors: Granito Alessandra 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Kierkegaard is an epochal philosopher who represented-not only in himself, but also in his philosophical Total-Tanke-the signs and concerns of an entire age: he defined not only his own Danish Golden Age, but he also contributed significantly to understanding its own deeper crisis through a relentless critique of culture and society in nineteenth-century Copenhagen. In the context of the analysis and the reception of A Literary Review (En Literair Anmeldelse, 1846), and in relation to Kierkegaard’s influence on philosophical and sociological perspectives in contemporary criticism, this paper explores: 1) Kierkegaard’s influence on Karl Jaspers’ book Man in the Modern Age (Die geistige Situation der Zeit, 1931) with particular reference to the latter’s conception of modernity and mass society; 2) the philosophical assumptions underlying the “European spiritual situation” and the destructive aspects of contemporary mass society according to Kierkegaard’s social and political thought; 3) the relevance of Kierkegaard’s diagnosis of the crisis as an opportunity to acquire a deeper understanding of the origin and the nature of human existence.
Martin Heidegger Reads Søren Kierkegaard – or What Did He Actually Read?
Authors: Thonhauser Gerhard 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the sources that Heidegger’s Gesamtausgabe provides for a discussion of the Heidegger-Kierkegaard relationship. I identify the translations Heidegger used and the writings that had the most impact on him. Moreover, I show that Heidegger’s relation to Kierkegaard was not consistent over his intellectual life, distinguishing five periods: an initial period of productive engagement (1919-1923); a complex period during the years in Marburg (1923-1928); an affirmative period back in Freiburg (1929-1934); a period of historical classification in the history of being (1935-1945); and an absence in the late writings (1946-1976).
Is acute appendicitis still misdiagnosed?
Authors: Kryzauskas Marius , Danys Donatas , Poskus Tomas , Mikalauskas Saulius , Poskus Eligijus , Jotautas Valdemaras , Beisa Virgilijus , Strupas Kestutis 
Published: July 2016

Abstract

Objective
The optimal diagnostics and treatment of acute appendicitis continues to be a challenge. A false positive diagnosis of appendicitis may lead to an unnecessary operation, which has been appropriately termed negative appendectomy. The aim of our study was to identify the effectiveness of preoperative investigations in preventing negative appendectomy.

Methods
A retrospective study was performed on adult patients who underwent operation for suspected acute appendicitis from 2008 to 2013 at Vilnius University Hospital Santariskiu Klinikos. Patients were divided into two groups: group A underwent an operation, where appendix was found to be normal (non-inflamed); group B underwent an appendectomy for inflamed appendix. Groups were compared for preoperative data, investigations, treatment results and pathology findings.

Results
554 patients were included in the study. Preoperative laboratory tests results of hemoglobin, hematocrit concentrations and white blood cell count were significantly higher in group B (p<0.001). Ultrasonography was performed for 78 % of patients in group A and 74 % in group B and did not provide any statistically significant results. Comparing Alvarado score results, there were more patients with Alvarado score less than 7 in group A than in group B. In our large series we could find only four independent risk factors, and they could only account for 24 % of cases.

Conclusions
In summary, acute appendicitis is still often misdiagnosed and the ratio of negative appendectomies remains rather high. Additional investigations such as observation and computed tomography should be used to prevent this.
