Imagine the poss-ABILITIES! Therapeutic Recreation: An Integral Aspect of Whole-Person Health Care
Authors: Botner Erica 
Published: September 2017

The word recreation is really a very beautiful word. It is defined in the dictionary as “the process of giving new life to something, of refreshing something, of restoring something.” This something, of course, is the whole person. (Bruno Hans Geba)Background: The purpose of Therapeutic Recreation is to enable all individuals to improve quality of life, and achieve optimal health through meaningful experiences in recreation and leisure. We believe in the inherent capacities of individuals for wellness, personal growth, happiness and freedom, with or without absence of disease. Therapeutic Recreation is a profession which provides service to, and advocates for individuals with disabilities, illnesses, and other conditions in clinical, community and educational settings. We recognize that everyone has the right to have access to and experience the healing benefits from recreation and leisure opportunities. Therapeutic Recreation follows a systematic process of developing a therapeutic relationship, assessment, goal setting, program development, implementation through individual and group facilitation, documentation and evaluation. Programs are designed based on the strengths, interests and needs of the participants and promote improving wellness within the physical, emotional, spiritual, behavioural and social domains (according to the participant and their context) and to educate individuals about the skills and resources required to participate in recreation and leisure. We use evidence-based practice to create outcome-based interventions suitable to the participant’s abilities.Content: Presentation will be descriptive, drawing attention to the profession of Therapeutic Recreation and how it fits well with the whole person approach.Evidence: Current research indicates a significant number of positive health outcomes resulting from participation in Therapeutic Recreation programs such as: improved physical, cognitive, social and emotional functioning; leisure and life skill development to enhance functional independence; self worth, and quality of life of individuals and their families; adjustment to disability and/or illness and post-traumatic growth; reduced boredom, stress, anxiety, and agitation; reduced decline in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning and as a result reduce the need for health care services; reduced secondary disability and associated higher health care costs.Conclusion: There is strong evidence that Therapeutic Recreation interventions are healing, support wholeness, and can have a major positive impact in the outcomes of people served. Thus, Therapeutic Recreation should be an integral part of any multi-disciplinary health care team that uses a whole-person care approach.
Humanizing clinical dentistry through a person-centred model
Authors: Apelian Nareg , Vergnes Jean-Noel , Bedos Christophe 
Published: September 2017

The clinical approach in dentistry stems from a biomedical model of health that is anchored in positivism. This biomedical model was never explicitly developed or reflected on, but rather implicitly acquired as a product of historical circumstance. A reductionist understanding of health served dentistry well in the past, when health afflictions were mostly acute. Today, however, in the age of chronic illnesses, the current clinical approach is no longer adequate: patients and dentists are both dissatisfied, and there are problems with dental education and dental public health. After a thorough review of the literature, highlighting the current state of the profession, we propose an alternative clinical model upon which updated approaches can be based. We call this model "Person-Centred Dentistry". Our proposed model is rooted on the notion of sharing of power between the dentist and the patient: a sharing of power in the relationship and epistemology. This leads to an expanded understanding of the person and the illness; a co-authoring of treatment plans; and interventions that focus not only on eliminating disease but also on patient needs.
Psychophysiology of slow breathing exercises using heart rate variability measurements for stress reduction
Authors: Simbulan Dante Jr. Guanlao 
Published: September 2017

Slow breathing exercises, associated with meditation and other eastern style modalities like tai chi and hatha yoga, are now increasingly employed in mainstream medicine to reduce stress, attenuate moderate hypertension, and alleviate symptoms of lifestyle-related illnesses. The clinical literature on slow breathing exercises includes studies employing various physiological measurements, including heart rate variability (HRV), galvanic skin response, and changes in skin temperature. HRV has been increasingly used to measure the activity of the autonomic nervous system in various human studies employing healthy and chronically ill subjects. 1. Objective: To understand the effects of slow breathing exercises on heart rate variability as a complementary intervention for stress reduction. 2. Method: Four subjects, through repetitive trials, were instructed to slow down their breathing following a metronome at 10 breaths per minute or 6 breaths per minute or spontaneously relax to slow down their respiratory rate. The ECG, heart rate, and respiratory rate were recorded using a Powerlab set-up (ADI). 3. Key Results: Results showed an increase in amplitude of heart rate variability during these slow breathing exercises, either through the metronome-guided or spontaneous slow-breathing exercises, especially around a breathing frequency of 6 breaths per minute. The increased amplitude of heart rate variability can be seen as a positive sign, a marker for sympathovagal balance. 4. Conclusion: HRV measurements have shown that slow breathing exercises can increase heart rate variability. Future protocols for clinical trials are being projected using the HRV technique and other physiological measurements for studying effects of yoga-based complementary interventions for stress reduction.
Video Conferencing for Mindfulness Programs: Benefits, Experiences, and Recommendations
Authors: Meissner Ted 
Published: September 2017

Online learning has grown tremendously with the advent of increasingly sophisticated digital technologies. Used well, the online experience is a positive one rivalling and perhaps exceeding the efficacy of in-person programming. The use of video conferencing uniquely promotes several factors foundational to mindfulness programs, including participant engagement and the nuanced challenge of the creation of a safe space for open sharing and inquiry.
Palynological Studies on Ten Species of Angiosperms from Nepal
Authors: Karna Mallick Pushpa 
Published: September 2017

Palynological studies on ten species of angiosperms family namely Hibiscus rosa- sinensis L.(Malvaceae), Lilium candidum L. (Liliaceae), Petunia axillaris (Lam.) B.S.P.(Solanaceae) and seven species from family asteraceae namely Artemisia indica Willd., Aster ageratoides Kitam., Calendula offcinalis L., Cerpis japonica L. (Benth.), Sonchus asper (L.) Hill, Tagetus patula L., and Taraxicum officinale F.H.Wigg. was carried out. Result obtained from this investigation showed that pollen shape is spheroidal in Artemisia indica, Aster ageratoides, Calendula offcinalis, Hibiscus rosa- sinensis and P. axillaris; elliptical in L. candidum, hexagonal in S. asper and pentagonal in T. officinale; tricolpater in C.japonica. Pollen aperture is porate in all except in L.candidum where it is elliptic. Pollen wall is echinate in H.rosa-sinensis, A.ageratoides, T. patula; spinulate in P. axillaries, T. officinale, S. asper, C. japonica, C. officinalis and T. officinale and smooth in L. candidum. The general appearance of the pollen grain is circular in P. axillaries but longer than wide in L.candidum. The circular, echinate, large and triporate pollens seem to be primitive ones and spharoidal, hexaporate features have been regarded as comparatively advanced ones. Polyporate pollens are considered to be secondarily derived. The nature of the pollen grain in these species could be evolutionary significance. The similarities in structure of the pollen grain showed the inter- species relationships among the species and that’s why put in same family while the differences in structures showed reasons for them to exist as distinct species. Only one species namely L.candidum from monocot family (Liliaceae) included in this study. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 5(3): 361-365

Published: September 2017

Heat treatment is a process in which alloy is heated to get different microstructures and desired properties associated with it which may affect the corrosion rate, nature form and size. Effect of annealing on microstructure, creep indentation, hardness and electrochemical corrosion behavior of Ni63Cr24.6Mo10.8Si1.5Mn0.06C0.04 alloy were investigated. Microstructure of Ni63Cr24.6Mo10.8Si1.5Mn0.06C0.04 alloy changed after annealing at different temperature for two hours. Crystal size of nickel in matrix alloy increased after annealing for two hours at different temperature. Stress exponent, n, Vickers hardness and calculated maximum shear stress of Ni63Cr24.6Mo10.8Si1.5Mn0.06C0.04 alloy decreased after annealing. Corrosion rate of Ni63Cr24.6Mo10.8Si1.5Mn0.06C0.04 alloy increased after annealing for two hours at different temperature. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 5(3): 366-374
Thin-film calorimetry: In-situ characterization of materials for lithium-ion batteries

Published: September 2017

AbstractThin-film calorimetry allows for qualitative and quantitative in-situ analysis of thermodynamic properties of thin films and thin-film systems from room temperature up to 1000 °C. It is based on highly sensitive piezoelectric langasite resonators which serve simultaneously as planar temperature sensors and substrates for the films of interest. Generation or consumption of heat during phase transformations of the films cause deviations from the regular course of the resonance frequency. Thermodynamic data such as phase transformation temperatures and enthalpies are extracted from these deviations. Thin-film calorimetry on Sn and Al thin films is performed to prove the concept. The results demonstrate high reproducibility of the measurement approach and are in agreement with literature data obtained by established calorimetric techniques. The calibration of the system is done in different atmospheres by application of defined heat pulses via heating structures. The latter replace the films of interest and simulate phase transformations to provide detailed analysis of the heat transfer mechanisms occurring in the measurement system. Based on this analysis, a data evaluation concept is developed. Application-relevant studies are performed on thin films of the lithium-ion battery materials NMC(A), NCA, LMO, and MoS2. Their phase transformation temperatures and enthalpies are evaluated in oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. Furthermore, their thermodynamic stability ranges are presented. Finally, measurements on all-solid-state thin-film batteries during electrochemical cycling are performed. They demonstrate the suitability of the system for in-situ investigations.

Published: September 2017

Premise of the study:To quantify the population‐level genetic characteristics of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Taxodiaceae), an important timber conifer, we developed 30 pairs of microsatellite primers based on the nuclear genome.Methods and Results:Using the streptavidin‐biotin capture system, we developed 14 polymorphic and 16 monomorphic microsatellites. Polymorphisms were detected in 14 loci using 94 individual trees that were collected from three C. lanceolata populations in Hubei and Zhejiang provinces and in Chongqing Municipality, China. There were three to 30 alleles per locus, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.0313–0.8333 and from 0.0313–0.9246, respectively. Cross‐species amplification showed that two to seven polymorphic loci were functional in three of the five related species that were collected.Conclusions:Our newly developed microsatellite primers provide neutral molecular markers that are beneficial to future studies of population genetics and germplasm conservation of C. lanceolata.
On the Stability of Strange Dwarf Hybrid Stars
Authors: Alford Mark G. , Harris Steven P. , Sachdeva Pratik S. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
We investigate the stability of “strange dwarfs”: white-dwarf-sized stars with a density discontinuity between a small dense core of quark matter and a thick low-density mantle of degenerate electrons. Previous work on strange dwarfs suggested that such a discontinuity could stabilize stars that would have been classified as unstable by the conventional criteria based on extrema in the mass–radius relation. We investigate the stability of such stars by numerically solving the Sturm–Liouville equations for the lowest-energy modes of the star. We find that the conventional criteria are correct, and strange dwarfs are not stable.
Impact of Protostellar Outflows on Turbulence and Star Formation Efficiency in Magnetized Dense Cores
Authors: Offner Stella S. R. , Chaban Jonah 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The star-forming efficiency of dense gas is thought to be set within cores by outflow and radiative feedback. We use magnetohydrodynamic simulations to investigate the relation between protostellar outflow evolution, turbulence, and star formation efficiency. We model the collapse and evolution of isolated dense cores for ≳0.5 Myr including the effects of turbulence, radiation transfer, and both radiation and outflow feedback from forming protostars. We show that outflows drive and maintain turbulence in the core environment even with strong initial fields. The star formation efficiency decreases with increasing field strength, and the final efficiencies are 15%–40%. The Stage 0 lifetime, during which the protostellar mass is lower than that of the dense envelope, increases proportionally with the initial magnetic field strength and ranges from

. The average accretion rate is well represented by a tapered turbulent core model, which is a function of the final protostellar mass and is independent of the magnetic field strength. By tagging material launched in the outflow, we demonstrate that the outflow entrains about three times the actual launched gas mass, a ratio that remains roughly constant in time regardless of the initial magnetic field strength. However, turbulent driving increases for stronger fields since momentum is more efficiently imparted to non-outflow material. The protostellar outflow momentum is highest during the first 0.1 Myr and declines thereafter by a factor of

as the accretion rate diminishes.
On the Link between the Release of Solar Energetic Particles Measured at Widespread Heliolongitudes and the Properties of the Associated Coronal Shocks
Authors: Lario D. , Kwon R.-Y. , Riley P. , Raouafi N. E. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Under the paradigm that the main agents in the acceleration of solar energetic particles (SEPs) are shocks initially driven by coronal mass ejections, we analyze whether the properties of the shocks in the corona inferred from combining extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) and white-light (WL) observations from multiple vantage points together with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the corona can be used to determine the release of SEPs into different regions of the heliosphere and hence determine the longitudinal extent of the SEP events. We analyze the SEP events observed on 2011 November 3, 2013 April 11, and 2014 February 25 over a wide range of heliolongitudes. MHD simulations provide the characteristics of the background medium where shocks propagate, in particular the Alfvén and sound speed profiles that allow us to determine both the extent of the EUV waves in the low corona and the fast magnetosonic Mach number (M
FM) of the shocks. The extent of the EUV waves in the low corona is controlled by this background medium and does not coincide with the extent of the SEP events in the heliosphere. Within the uncertainties of (i) the extent and speed of the shock inferred from EUV and WL images and (ii) the assumptions made in the MHD models, we follow the evolution of M
FM at the region of the shock magnetically connected to each spacecraft. The estimated release times of the first SEPs measured by each spacecraft does not coincide with the time when the M
FM at this region exceeds a given threshold.
Structure and tree species composition in different habitats of savanna used by indigenous people in the Northern Brazilian Amazon

Published: September 2017

Woody plant diversity from the Amazonian savannas has been poorly quantified. In order to improve the knowledge on wood plants of these regional ecosystems, a tree inventory was carried out in four different habitats used by indigenous people living in the savanna areas of the Northern Brazilian Amazon. The habitats were divided into two types (or groups) of vegetation formations: forest (riparian forest, forest island, and buritizal = Mauritia palm formation) and non-forest (typical savanna). The inventory was carried out in two hectares established in the Darora Indigenous Community region, north of the state of Roraima.
The typical savanna is the most densely populated area (709 stems ha-1); however, it has the lowest tree species richness (nine species, seven families) in relation to typical forest habitats: riparian forest (22 species, 13 families and 202 stems ha-1), forest islands (13 species, 10 families and 264 stems ha-1), and buritizal (19 species, 15 families and 600 stems ha-1). The tree structure (density and dominance) of the forest habitats located in the savanna areas studied in this work is smaller in relation to forest habitats derived from continuous areas of other parts of the Amazon. These environments are derived from Paleoclimatic fragmentation, and are currently affected by the impact of intensive use of natural resources as timberselective logging and some land conversion for agriculture.
La migration temporaire des jeunes au Sénégal

Published: September 2017

À partir de données récoltées sur deux décennies, cet article examine le rôle de la mobilité des jeunes dans l’adaptation d’une communauté rurale sénégalaise aux changements écologiques, économiques et socio-culturels. La migration temporaire est devenue une dimension à part entière des parcours de vie des jeunes femmes et des jeunes hommes. Elle permet de diversifier les ressources familiales face à l’incapacité de l’agriculture à couvrir les besoins de base et aux nouveaux besoins des jeunes avides de modernité. Les formes de migration évoluent, notamment en liaison avec la montée de la scolarisation ; et la mobilité transforme les relations intergénérationnelles et de genre. Toutefois, restant ancrée dans des stratégies familiales, elle apparaît comme un facteur de résilience dans un contexte de mutations multiformes.
Ouganda, les jeunes dans la région du lac Albert
Authors: Golaz Valérie , Médard Claire , Mwangi Susan , Équipe M-PRAM  
Published: September 2017

La rive est du lac Albert, en Ouganda, fait l’objet d’une attention nouvelle du fait de l’exploration pétrolière récente. Les médias nationaux font écho à l’insatisfaction des jeunes, que ce soit au sujet de compensations pour leur terre ou des opportunités de formation et d’emploi. Cet article montre comment la catégorie « jeunes » est instrumentalisée politiquement et que les processus d’autonomisation des jeunes sont transformés par la perspective d’un renouveau économique. En dépit des attentes, les opportunités réelles découlent de la croissance globale de la région plus que du secteur pétrolier.
Chronique d’un siège
Authors: Seignobos Christian 
Published: September 2017

Pour échapper aux images des médias concernant Boko Haram, il convient de redéfinir les contours de ce soulèvement islamiste, rappeler ses bases sociales entre guildes de métiers et mosquées populeuses, revenir sur sa structuration religieuse qui, en dépit de la rétraction de ses espaces territoriaux de conquête, n’en garde pas moins son élan mystique, renforçant même ses « vocations » au martyr. Quelques groupes de Boko Haram ont fait le choix de se replier sur le lac Tchad dès 2014, précédant la mise en place, contre eux, de la coalition du Nigeria et de ses voisins. Cette occupation du lac par Boko Haram pose un véritable problème sécuritaire régional. Désormais, le lac est devenu l’épicentre de la violence armée. Niger et Tchad y répondent en cherchant à vider de leurs habitants leurs parties du lac respectives, le Nigeria en verrouillant le lac, alors que le Cameroun est resté sans réaction. La réponse sécuritaire des États engagés contre Boko Haram a grandement aggravé le désastre économique actuel.
Territoires des humains et territoires des animaux : éléments de réflexions pour une géographie animale
Authors: Bortolamiol Sarah , Raymond Richard , Simon Laurent 
Published: September 2017

La géographie, en abordant conjointement les espèces et leurs milieux, représente une passerelle féconde entre les sciences humaines et sociales et les sciences de la nature pour traiter du partage de territoire entre humains et non-humains, dont l’Animal est un représentant au caractère heuristique particulièrement marqué. Pour saisir les conditions du partage de territoire entre l'Homme et l'Animal, il faut comprendre le(s) territoire(s) de chacun, leurs fonctionnements, leurs interactions, leurs dynamiques, leurs adaptations respectives ainsi que leurs conjugaisons à la fois spatiales et culturelles. Cela, parce que le territoire des uns (des hommes) crée le territoire des autres (des animaux) et réciproquement. En France, des initiatives récentes ont fait émerger une géographie « humanimale » très influencée par une approche culturaliste. Ce numéro des Annales de Géographie se veut complémentaire de cette approche, en abordant la question à l’interface entre écologie et géographie. Nous retraçons la place de l’Animal en géographie afin de mieux comprendre comment il peut être modèle de nos rapports à l’environnement, surtout dans un contexte ou les territoires de rencontre entre humains et animaux se multiplient.
