‘The aesthetics of austerity’
Authors: Crow Liz , Zaiontz Keren 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
UK-based art-activist Liz Crow discusses the challenges of making socially engaged, political art and performance in a climate of austerity. She reflects on the euphoric moment of the 2012 Paralympics Games, and the contradictory experiences that resulted for people with disabilities who were simultaneously lauded as ‘superhumans’ and castigated as ‘scroungers’. Crow talks about the dialogic works she created to counter these unattainable – and implicitly discriminatory – categories including two durational works, Bedding Out (2012–2013) and Figures (2015). Figures, a mass sculptural durational performance, testifies to the far-reaching effects of austerity measures and also holds the potential of serving as an alternative ‘legacy’ archive of the London Summer Games. A foldout of selected images and text from the Figures project is printed in Part 4: ‘Suspending Freedom, Sustaining Spectacle’ of this special issue.
Calgary (1988): A cultural Olympiad avant la lettre
Authors: Bennett Susan 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Bennett’s article reviews the Olympic Arts Festival at the 1988 Winter Olympic Games held in Calgary. She examines the importance of this event to the aspirations of a modestly sized prairie city and its implications for local artists. An exhibition at the city’s GlenbowMuseum, ‘The Spirit Sings’, serves as an important case study for considering the social, cultural and political rights of First Nations in Canada and provides key questions for challenging ideas of ‘legacy’ and ‘impact’ in the context of mega-event production.
‘Public Art as Collective Practice’: ‘Collective Breath Poster’
Authors: Gabie Neville 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
UK-based artist Neville Gabie discusses the turns his art practice has taken since his Olympic Park residency in the lead up to the 2012 London Summer Games. Gabie reflects on his counter-Olympic initiative, The Greatest Possible Distance (2012) as well as his more recent residency at the Cabot Institute, which led to a series of formally experimental works entitled, Experiments in Black and White (2012–2013). This series served as the impetus for Gabie’s ephemeral, socially engaged work, Collective Breath. A poster that documents the Collective Breath project is printed in Part 4: ‘Suspending Freedom, Sustaining Spectacle’ of this special issue.
Olympian performance: The cultural economics of the opening ceremony of London 2012
Authors: McKinnie Michael 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The 2012 Olympic Games in London opened with a ceremony staged by theatre and cinema director, Danny Boyle. Its set-piece show, Isles of Wonder, was performed by a professional and community cast in the newlybuilt Olympic Stadium in the city’s east end. This article considers Isles of Wonder as both a theatrical and economic event that staged two models of political economy simultaneously: a theatrically Keynesian one and an infrastructurallyrentier one. It argues that the discomfiting pleasure of Isles of Wonderresulted, in large measure, from the spectatorial experience of watching this interplay happen.
Technology intensity and outward foreign direct investment from the Indian manufacturing sector: A firm-level analysis
Authors: Mehta Swati 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Outward foreign investment from developing countries is not a new phenomenon. But its magnitude has increased in recent years. It was found that around 19% of FDI emanated from developing countries during the period 2011–2013. The share of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) from India also increased from 0.01% during 1980–1982 to 0.48% during 2011–2013. As a percentage of GDP, OFDI from India was 0.37%, which increased to 5.68% in 2010 and to 6.23% in 2013. Thus, the aim of this article is to present the overall pattern and trend of OFDI from India. Second, the article tried to examine the factors that determine OFDI from different technology-intensive – high-technology (HT) and low-technology (LT) – industries from a developing country, India. To this end, two manufacturing industries – pharmaceuticals from among HT industries and metals and metal products from the LT subgroup – were chosen. Using firm-level data, the logit model was used to examine the effect of variables like imports, exports, sales, technology, etc. on OFDI. It was found that sales, followed by exports, investment in R&D and outsourced jobs in decreasing order of magnitude, has a prominent impact in determining the choice of OFDI for firms from pharmaceuticals industries, whereas sales and exports has a significant impact in determining the probability of OFDI from firms belonging to the metals and metal products industries. Thus, it could be inferred that the liberal policies since the 1990s, and more so after 2000, towards foreign investment by Indian firms have made more and more Indian firms multinational.

Este artigo se propôs a analisar a fragilidade jurídica na preservação do patrimônio ambiental e cultural brasileiro, à partir de um estudo de caso, através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo. Verificou-se que no Brasil existem diversas leis que protegem estes bens, porém com graves falhas na fiscalização, somadas às diversas ações protetivas mal planejadas, expondo o patrimônio público a uma destruição precoce. O presente artigo aborda diversas situações onde o resguardo do patrimônio e a sua fiscalização fracassaram e outras exitosas no intuito de preservação deste patrimônio.
An examination of the learning strategies used by middle school 7th grade students to learn social studies courses<p>Ortaokul 7. sınıf öğrencilerinin sosyal bilgiler dersini öğrenmek için kullandıkları öğrenme stratejilerinin incelenmesi
Authors: Şahin Neslihan , Özdemir Nevin 
Published: October 2017

The purpose of this study is to examine the learning strategies used by middle school 7th grade students in learning social science lessons in terms of different variables. The sample of the study consisted of 473 students who were educated in 7th grade of nine middle schools selected randomly from Atakum, Canik and Ilkadım districts of Samsun province (Turkey) in the fall semester of 2013-2014 academic year. A survey form was used as data collection tool in the research. In the first part of this questionnaire, there are questions about the demographic characteristics of the sample and in the second part, there is the scale of learning strategies. The data obtained from this measurement was interpreted as being based on the level of use of learning strategies by students participating in the study and in relation to some demographic variables (gender, education and age characteristics of parents) of these learning strategies. The research findings showed that the students who participated in the study use always the working environment strategies, often the attention strategies, occasionally the meaning and the labor management strategies. In addition, it has been found that there is a significant relationship between some demographic variables and the level of learning strategies used by students. Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı ortaokul 7. sınıf öğrencilerinin sosyal bilgiler dersini öğrenirken kullandıkları öğrenme stratejilerini, farklı değişkenler açısından incelemektir.

Association of C677T polymorphism (rs1801133) in MTHFR gene with depression
Authors: Rai V. 
Published: October 2017

Depression is one of the mental disorders with a state of low mood and aversion to activities that exerts a negative effect on a person's thoughts and behavior. Genetic association studies on MTHFR C677T polymorphism and depression have been repeatedly performed over the last two decades, but results are inconsistent. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and depression by literature review and meta-analysis. Four electronic databases, PubMed, Google Scholar, Science direct and Springer Link were searched for case control articles focusing on MTHFR C677T polymorphism and the risk of depression. A total of 30 studies including 4,802 cases and 17,362 controls were involved in present meta-analysis. When all the eligible studies were pooled into this meta-analysis, significant association between depression risk and MTHFR C677T polymorphism was found in three genetic models (Additive model: OR T vs C= 1.20, 95 % CI= 1.00-1.34, p=0.0004; homozygote model: OR TT vs.CC=1.37, 95% CI= 1.13-1.65, p=0.0004; dominant model: OR TT+CT vs CC=1.13, 95 % CI= 0.99-1.28, p=0.04), while meta-analysis with other two genetic models did not show association with other two genetic models ( recessive model: OR TT vs CT+CC= 1.36, 95 % CI = 0.91-2.04, p=0.13; co-dominant model: OR CT vs CC=1.00, 95 % CI=0.93-1.08,p=0.84). Present meta-analysis supports that there is a meager significant association between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and depression risk.
Clinician Perceptions of an Early Warning System on Patient Safety
Authors: de Vries Aisha , Draaisma Jos M.T. , Fuijkschot Joris 
Published: October 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
The Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) aims to improve early recognition of clinical deterioration and is widely used despite lacking evidence of effects on outcome measures such as hospital mortality. In this qualitative study, we aimed to study effects of both PEWS and the locally designed risk stratification system by focusing on professionals’ perception of their performance. We also sought to gain insight into the perceived effects of PEWS and the risk stratification system on patient safety and to unravel the underlying mechanisms.

METHODS:
A single-center cross-sectional observational study whereby 16 semistructured interviews were held with selected health care professionals focusing on perceived effects and underlying mechanisms. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded without using a predetermined set of themes.

RESULTS:
Coding from semistructured interviews demonstrated that perceived value was related to effects on different levels of Endsley and co-workers’ situational awareness (SA) model. PEWS mainly improved level 1 SA, whereas the risk stratification system also seemed to improve levels 2 and 3 SA.

CONCLUSIONS:
This study shows clear effects of PEWS on SA among professionals. It also points to the additional value of other risk factor stratification systems to help further improve PEWS functioning.
Development of a Surveillance System for Pediatric Hospital-Acquired Venous Thromboembolism
Authors: Brower Laura H. , Shaughnessy Erin E. , Chima Ranjit S. 
Published: October 2017

BACKGROUND:
Pediatric hospital-acquired (HA) venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a vexing problem with improvement efforts hampered by lack of robust surveillance methods to establish accurate rates of HA-VTE.

METHODS:
At a freestanding children’s hospital, a multidisciplinary team worked to develop a comprehensive surveillance strategy for HA-VTE. Starting with diagnosis codes, we implemented complementary detection methods, including clinical and radiology data, to develop a robust surveillance system. HA-VTE events were tracked by using descriptive statistics and a statistical process control chart. Detection methods were evaluated via retrospective application of each method to every identified HA-VTE. Initial detection method was tracked.

RESULTS:
A total of 68 HA-VTE events were identified and the median number of events per 1000 patient days increased from 0.18 to 0.34. No single detection method would have identified all events. Each detection method initially identified HA-VTE events.

CONCLUSIONS:
Implementation of multiple detection methods has optimized timely detection of HA-VTE. This allows the establishment of a reliable baseline rate, enabling quality improvement efforts to address HA-VTE.

Abstract: According to the statistical data of tumor registries the incidence of cancer has increased in the last decade, however the mortality shows only a slight change due to the new and effective multimodal treatments. The aim of our overview article is to present the changes in the survival of the metastatic patients, and to demonstrate which factors influence their prognosis. The improvement of survival resulted in a more active surgical role both in metastases of the bone of the extremities and the pelvis. We present a diagnostic flow chart and current options for the reconstruction of the different regions of the bone and skeleton, and we will discuss their potential advantages, disadvantages and complications. It is evident that apart from the impending and pathological fracture surgery it is not the first choice of treatment but rather a palliative measure. The aim of surgery is to alleviate pain, to regain mobility and improve quality of life. If possible minimal invasive techniques are performed, as they are less demanding and allow fast rehabilitation for the patient, and they are solutions that last for a lifetime. In optimal conditions radical curative surgery can be performed in about 10 to 15 per cent of the cases, and better survival is encouraging. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(40): 1563–1569.

Authors: Mandelaris George A. , Scheyer E. Todd , Evans Marianna , Kim David , McAllister Bradley , Nevins Marc L. , Rios Hector F. , Sarment David 
Published: October 2017

Background: The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) recently embarked on a Best Evidence Consensus (BEC) model of scientific inquiry to address questions of clinical importance in periodontology for which there is insufficient evidence to arrive at a definitive conclusion. This review addresses oral indications for use of cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT).Methods: To develop the BEC, the AAP convened a panel of experts with knowledge of CBCT and substantial experience in applying CBCT to a broad range of clinical scenarios that involve critical structures in the oral cavity. The panel examined a clinical scenario or treatment decision that would likely benefit from additional evidence and interpretation of evidence, performed a systematic review on the individual, debated the merits of published data and experiential information, developed a consensus report, and provided a clinical bottom line based on the best evidence available.Results: This BEC addressed the potential value and limitations of CBCT relative to specific applications in the management of patients requiring or being considered for the following clinical therapies: 1) placement of dental implants; 2) interdisciplinary dentofacial therapy involving orthodontic tooth movement in the management of malocclusion with associated risk on the supporting periodontal tissues (namely, dentoalveolar bone); and 3) management of periodontitis.Conclusion: For each specific question addressed, there is a critical mass of evidence, but insufficient evidence to support broad conclusions or definitive clinical practice guidelines.
PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF ONION EXTRACT AGAINST EXPERIMENTAL IMMUNESUPPRESSION IN WISTAR RATS: BIOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR STUDY
Authors: Alkhedaide Adel , Soliman Mohamed Mohamed , Ismail Tamer Ahmed 
Published: October 2017

Background: The wrong use of drugs results in disturbances in the immunity that affect human health. These drugs
have side effects that may lead to death because of lake of immunity. Human beings need to use natural products to
strength the immune system and avoid such side effects. Of these products is the onion that used to strength the
immune system. This study was conducted to study the protective effect of onion extract on immune-suppressed rats
and its impact on the expression level of cytokines, acute phase proteins and antioxidants compared to both control and
immune suppressed groups.
Materials and Methods: Forty rats were divided into four groups (10 per group) control group (CNT), immunesuppressed
group (DEXA) injected with dexamethasone at a dose of 5 mg per kg intraperitoneally (IP) twice daily for 3
days, onion extract administered group (OE) given orally at a dose of 500 mg per kg for 4 weeks. Group 4 (y), was
given onion extract for a week then immune-suppressed with DEXA for 3 days then continued with OE for 3 weeks.
Serum and RNA were extracted for examining the biochemical and genetic changes.
Results: Injection of dexamethasone decreased number of leukocytes with increase in the number of neutrophils and
the decrease of all other types of white blood cells. Moreover, a decrease in antioxidant levels such as catalase, super
oxide dismutase (SOD), and reduced glutathione (GSH) with an increase in the level malondialdehyde (MDA). In
parallel, a decrease in serum levels of cytokines, such as TNF and IL-6, together with immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM),
were reported in DEXA injected rats that were ameliorated by prior administration of OE. Gene expression analysis
revealed that dexamethasone suppressed gene expression of antioxidants together with IL-1 and 8 while increased IL-
10 mRNA expression. All of these changes have been normalized to the normal level by OE administration to DEXA
injected rats.
Conclusion: The present findings clearly emphasize the medical importance of onions as immune-stimulants at genetic
and cellular levels, and that they are good for human health.
EVALUATION OF THE ANTI-MYCOBACTERIAL, ANTI-OXIDATIVE AND ANTI-PROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITIES OF RUBIA CORDIFOLIA ETHANOLIC LEAF EXTRACT SUB-FRACTIONS IN HUMAN LYMPHOCYTES AND NEUTROPHILS
Authors: ME Makgatho , W Nxumalo , E Ndaba , Masilo C , Tsindane F , Sedibane Ml 
Published: October 2017

Background. Rubia cordifolia has been used to treat various diseases and exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory,
analgesic and antidiarrheal activities. The plant has not been investigated for its anti-mycobacterial activity against
virulent tuberculosis strains as well as cytotoxic and anti-oxidant activities in mononuclear cells and neutrophils.
Methods. Ethanolic and dichloromethane leaf extract fractions of Rubia cordifolia (0.2- 125μg/ml) were screened for
anti-mycobacterial activity using a fluorescent microplate assay. The anti-oxidant activity of the fractions was tested
using the radical scavenging assay, while their cytotoxicity to lymphocytes was measured using the WST-8 assay.
Reactive oxygen species production by neutrophils exposed to fractions was tested using Cell Meter™ Fluorimetric
ROS Assay kit.
Results. The ethanolic leaf fractions exhibited overall superior anti-mycobacterial activity than the dichloromethane
group and were further screened for anti-oxidant and cytotoxic activities. Ethanolic sub-fractions K2F-3.2, K2F-3.3 and
K2F-3.4 showed significant antioxidant activities at concentration of 50 μg/ml to 200 μg/ml and higher in both the cell
free-based radical scavenging activity and total reactive oxygen species production assays. For lymphocytes, the test
agents showed anti-proliferative activity at 25 μg/ml to 200 μg/ml for sub-fraction K2F-3.3B and 50 μg/ml to 200
μg/ml for agents K2F-3.2 and K2F-3.4.
Conclusion. The current study is the first to record the in vitro anti-mycobacterial, anti-oxidant and cytotoxic activities
of Rubia cordifolia plant leaf extract sub-fractions using the given experimental setups and further research activities to
identify the bioactive components are to be pursued.
