Re-defining the ‘contact zone’: Translation, transformation and the space in-between
Authors: Loukes Rebecca 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
This article explores the space ‘in-between’ in intercultural arts practice. Drawing on my engagement as an academic participant in the ArtsCross/Danscross project, I unpack Mary Louise Pratt’s term ‘contact zone’. Pratt defined contact zones as ‘social spaces where disparate cultures meet, clash, and grapple with each other’ (Pratt 1991: 4) and in exploring the processes that took place at Beijing Dance Academy and The Place, London in 2012 and 2013, both in the rehearsal studio and in the seminar room, I re-define the idea of the ‘contact zone’. Drawing on theories of translation and pragmatist philosophy as well as ideas from performer training and Chinese aesthetics and etymology, I move towards a more nuanced understanding of the ‘in-between’ as a productive space both for the creation of new artistic works and as a strategy for intercultural working practices.
Assessing Cognitive Performance in Badminton Players: A Reproducibility and Validity Study
Authors: van de Water Tanja , Huijgen Barbara , Faber Irene , Elferink-Gemser Marije 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Fast reaction and good inhibitory control are associated with elite sports performance. To evaluate the reproducibility and validity of a newly developed Badminton Reaction Inhibition Test (BRIT), fifteen elite (25 ± 4 years) and nine non-elite (24 ± 4 years) Dutch male badminton players participated in the study. The BRIT measured four components: domain-general reaction time, badminton-specific reaction time, domain-general inhibitory control and badminton-specific inhibitory control. Five participants were retested within three weeks on the badminton-specific components. Reproducibility was acceptable for badminton-specific reaction time (ICC = 0.626, CV = 6%) and for badminton-specific inhibitory control (ICC = 0.317, CV = 13%). Good construct validity was shown for badminton-specific reaction time discriminating between elite and non-elite players (F = 6.650, p < 0.05). Elite players did not outscore non-elite players on domain-general reaction time nor on both components of inhibitory control (p > 0.05). Concurrent validity for domain-general reaction time was good, as it was associated with a national ranking for elite (p = 0.70, p < 0.01) and non-elite (p = 0.70, p < 0.05) players. No relationship was found between the national ranking and badminton-specific reaction time, nor both components of inhibitory control (p > 0.05). In conclusion, reproducibility and validity of inhibitory control assessment was not confirmed, however, the BRIT appears a reproducible and valid measure of reaction time in badminton players. Reaction time measured with the BRIT may provide input for training programs aiming to improve badminton players’ performance.

Authors: Kwiecień-Jaguś Katarzyna , Wujtewicz Maria 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Significant progress in the field of nursing has contributed to the widening of range of functions and professional duties of nurses. More frequent lack of nursing personnel has an impact on negative reception of work, it decreases sense of professional satisfaction and increases the level of burden and fatigue. Methods. The study applied the non-experimental method – a descriptive comparative study without a control group. The data was collected on the basis of Polish-language version of a Japanese questionnaire. In order to evaluate the level of physical fatigue the pedometer was used. Results.158 respondents of a group of 160 were included in the statistical analysis. The study group was internally diversified. The research project assessed the usefulness of the multifactorial analysis in evaluating the main components of nursing fatigue. Multifactorial analysis has shown that mental fatigue concentrated with changes in activeness, motivation and physical fatigue are strongly correlated with age, professional experience and education. Conclusion. Nursing is a profession of a special character and mission. Regardless of the place of work, nursing staff should be given the possibility of pursuing their profession under conditions ensuring the sense of security and protecting them from harmful effects on health.
Recuperar la praxis perdida. La filosofía de la praxis de Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez hoy: contexto, historia y problemática filosófica
Authors: Gandler Stefan 
Published: February 2017

La Filosofía de la praxis de Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez se discute en el presente artículo en su contexto histórico, político y social, tomando en cuenta la historia y la transformación del texto mismo, valorándolo como uno de los libros filosóficos más importantes del siglo XX. Además, se discuten algunas de la primeras tesis de grado escritas sobre esta obra por autores latinoamericanos, en universidades de la República Democrática Alemana (RDA) – mucho antes de que este libro se estableció como tema de tesis en universidades mexicanas. Finalmente, se confrontan algunas de sus aportaciones filosóficas con las de otros especialistas del siglo XX en el tema de la praxis, como Alfred Schmidt, probablemente el principal heredero filosófico de la Teoría crítica de la sociedad, de la Escuela de Frankfurt, si se toma en cuenta que Jürgen Habermas rompió con algunos de los conceptos centrales de este grupo, como lo es justamente él de la praxis.
Optical Response of Dendrimer-Encapsulated CdS Quantum Dots—Regulation of Inter-Particle Electronic Coupling
Authors: Richardson Douglas D. , Ely S. Ryland , McMurdo Meredith J. , Patten P. Gregory Van 
Published: February 2017

AbstractOptical properties of metal and semiconductor nanoparticles are sensitively dependent upon electronic coupling between the individual particles. In another work, we have demonstrated the ability to regulate inter-particle electronic coupling between metal nanoparticles based on the solution-phase properties of the dendrimers used to encapsulate and stabilize the particles. Here, we attempt to apply the knowledge derived in those studies of metal nanoparticles to understand the optical response observed in dendrimer-stabilized CdS quantum dots. Absorption and photoluminescence measurements have been combined with TEM to determine if dendrimerrelated aggregation phenomena affect optical response in these systems. The results show that dendrimer-stabilized CdS nanoparticles exhibit quite different aggregation behavior from the analogous metal nanoparticles. In direct contrast to the metal systems, the dendrimer-stabilized CdS nanoparticles tend to flocculate at low pH and are most stable at high pH. The degree of protection offered at high pH is dependent on the terminal functional groups of the dendrimer. Carboxylated dendrimers give higher protection than aminated dendimers and yield significantly higher luminescence efficiencies. The results challenge our prior conclusions regarding aggregation mechanisms in dendrimer nanocomposites and will provide important insight for future efforts to incorporate these nanoparticles into photovoltaic or luminescent devices.
Helical Silica - Lipid Mesostructures
Authors: Seddon Annela M. , Mann Stephen 
Published: February 2017

AbstractIn this work, diacetylenic-containing chiral lipid, 1,2-bis(10,12- tricosadiyonyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DC8,9PC) was used simultaneously as a structure-directing template, “morphogen” and photoactive monomer to synthesize high aspect ratio helical tubules and ribbons consisting of polymerizable periodic mesostructured silica-lipid walls with a twisted lamellar architecture. Intercalation of silica in the ordered hybrid lamellar mesostructure significantly increased the photochemical reactivity of the diacetylenic moieties, such that eneyne conjugation became facile compared with non-mineralized tubules or tubules coated in a surface film of silica.
Stochastic Dislocation Dynamics under Creep Conditions in Metals
Authors: Hiratani Masato , Zbib Hussein M. 
Published: February 2017

AbstractA stochastic model is proposed to study dislocation dynamics in metallic single crystals. A Langevin type thermal fluctuation is taken into account for the model to maintain thermal equilibrium. This approach works as Brownian motion of segmental dislocations. Additionally, a new model for implementing the cross slip mechanism in FCC metals is developed based on results obtained by atomistic simulations. This new model is capable of simulating realistic thermal processes such as thermally activated dislocation motion during easy glide or cross slip during cold working of metals.
A Model for Comprehensive Studies of Porosity in Mesoporous Low-K Dielectrics
Authors: Petkov Mihail P. 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThe successful integration of a porous low dielectric constant (k) material as an interlevel dielectric depends on the morphology of the embedded porosity. Simple site percolation models are utilized here to investigate porosity properties of low-kdielectrics with respect to the current technology trends. Significant differences between two generations of porous dielectrics,k< 2.4 andk< 2.1, are found. The porosity fraction in the latter is above the percolation threshold, which may have serious impact on the materials physical properties and its compatibility with production steps.
Estimation of the Phenomenological Effective Diffusivity in Nanocrystalline Materials
Authors: Belova Irina V , Murch Graeme E 
Published: February 2017

AbstractIn this study we construct two new equations to describe the effective diffusivity in nanomaterials where diffusion proceeds via both the grains and the grain boundaries in comparable amounts. We analyze two very simple 2D grain configurations by Monte Carlo methods to test the validity of the equations. In addition, we also test the Hart and the recently extended Maxwell-Garnett equations. It is shown that one of the two new equations provides a very good description of diffusion in the grain models postulated.

Published: February 2017

Background and objectives
Higher levels of inflammatory markers have been associated with renal outcomes in diabetic populations. We investigated whether soluble TNF receptor 2 (TNFR2) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were associated with the age-related GFR decline in a nondiabetic population using measured GFR (mGFR).

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
A representative sample of 1590 middle-aged people from the general population without prevalent kidney disease, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease were enrolled in the Renal Iohexol-Clearance Survey in Tromsø 6 (RENIS-T6) between 2007 and 2009. After a median of 5.6 years, 1296 persons were included in the Renal Iohexol-Clearance Survey Follow-Up Study. GFR was measured using iohexol clearance at baseline and follow-up.

Results
The mean decline of mGFR during the period was −0.84 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year. There were 133 participants with rapid mGFR decline, defined as an annual mGFR loss >3.0 ml/min per 1.73 m2, and 26 participants with incident CKD, defined as mGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 at follow-up. In multivariable adjusted mixed models, 1 mg/L higher levels of hsCRP were associated with an accelerated decline in mGFR of −0.03 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year (95% confidence interval [95% CI], −0.05 to −0.01), and 1 SD higher TNFR2 was associated with a slower decline in mGFR (0.09 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.18). In logistic regression models adjusted for sex, age, weight, and height, 1 mg/L higher levels of hsCRP were associated with higher risk of rapid mGFR decline (odds ratio, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.06) and incident CKD (odds ratio, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.08).

Conclusions
Higher baseline levels of hsCRP but not TNFR2 were associated with accelerated age-related mGFR decline and incident CKD in a general nondiabetic population.

Published: February 2017

The recent financial crisis resulted destructive effects on finance industry. Islamic financial industry (IFI) is still naÃ¯ve and largely untested in the face of a major financial turmoil. Major issues and uncertainties of the insolvency of IFI include the issue of moral hazard, government bailouts, excessive risk taking and deposit insurance. This paper addresses the issue of crisis management in IFI from the perspective of al-Siyasah al-Sharâ€™iyyah and attempts to derive public policy guidelines that are useful in developing a timely and efficient crises management framework for Islamic finance industry. By using qualitative methods, the study found that the global financial crisis resulted in great destruction of financial institution. Although Islamic finance was quite immune to the global crisis as compared to its conventional peer, concerns still exist. It is time that Islamic finance industry learns from the financial woes of the rest of the world.

Audit Committee Oversight of Fraud Risk: The Role of Social Ties, Professional Ties, and Governance Characteristics
Authors: Wilbanks Robert M. , Hermanson Dana R. , Sharma Vineeta D. 
Published: February 2017

SYNOPSIS
This study examines audit committee (AC) oversight of fraudulent financial reporting (FFR) risk and management integrity, and how such oversight varies with AC social ties, professional ties, and governance characteristics. Specifically, based on a survey of 134 U.S. public company AC members, we find that AC participants with social ties (i.e., personal ties) to the CEO are negatively associated with AC actions to assess FFR risk and management integrity. Further, the AC appears to cut back on more observable FFR and MI actions when the responding AC member has a social tie to the CEO, consistent with socially connected ACs being reluctant to engage in observable monitoring actions that could jeopardize a social tie to the CEO. However, AC participants with professional ties to other independent directors and those with professional experience as corporate controllers are positively related to such actions. We also find that AC size is positively related to FFR risk assessment, while female AC participants and those serving on boards with greater independence are more likely to report engaging in AC activities to assess management integrity. Finally, when asked more broadly about who they rely on and who is responsible for assessing the risk of FFR, AC members mainly point to the external audit partner, CFO, and head of internal audit. We discuss implications and directions for future research.
Use of an intraventricular strip electrode for mesial temporal monitoring in children with medically intractable epilepsy
Authors: Kim Hyunmi , Oh Ahyuda , Olson Larry , Chern Joshua J. 
Published: February 2017

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to evaluate mesial temporal electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring, using an intraventricular strip electrode (IVSE) along the ventricular surface of the hippocampus, in children with medically intractable epilepsy.

METHODS
The authors reviewed 10 consecutive cases in which subdural electrode placements and mesial temporal monitoring were recommended. The median age of the patients was 12.7 years (range 4.5–19.3 years). Both grids and IVSE were placed in all patients. The 4-contact IVSE was used in 5 cases, and the 6-contact IVSE in the other 5 cases. The median number of contacts, including IVSE contacts, was 122 (range 66–181). A total of 182 seizures were analyzed.

RESULTS
The IVSE localized seizure-onset zones in 8 patients. The seizure-onset zone was identified exclusively by IVSE in 3 patients and was simultaneous in IVSE and subdural electrodes in 5 patients. Among the 5 patients with simultaneous onset on both IVSE and subdural electrodes, 4 had basal temporal onset and one had orbitofrontal and lateral midtemporal onset. In the remaining 2 patients, the absence of IVSE seizure onset permitted sparing of mesial temporal structures. An Engel Class Ia outcome was achieved in 9 of 10 cases. No complication was associated with IVSE placement.

CONCLUSIONS
Intracranial monitoring using IVSE offers an alternative in terms of quality of EEG recording. IVSE was useful in children who already required open craniotomy for intracranial monitoring over an extensive network of hyper-excitability.
Le vallon de Charbieux (suite). Etude botanique d'un site incendié
Authors: Delaigue Jacques 
Published: February 2017

Le vallon de Charbieux, prospecté par l'auteur en 1989-1990, s'était révélé être un site botanique riche et intéressant de la costière rhodanienne de la rive droite du fleuve. Détruit par un incendie en août 1990, l'étude en fut immédiatement reprise, et, durant les cinq années suivantes, l'auteur observa la régénération de la végétation, les changements intervenus et les différents comportements des plantes vis-à-vis de l'agression ignée.
Il conclut à un appauvrissement modéré mais sélectif de la flore, affectant surtout les espèces les plus intéressantes, souvent les plus fragiles.
