Caring for cancer survivors with the popular expressive arts
Authors: Quinlan Elizabeth , Robertson Susan , Fitchner Pam 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Research has demonstrated considerable health benefits derived from incorporating the arts in health care. Yet, the process of translating research knowledge into clinical practice requires a sensitive understanding of the practice context. In this article, we consider the challenges to clinicians’ integration of the popular, expressive art forms into their practice. We assess these art forms for their potential value for the health and well-being of breast cancer survivors in light of the implementation challenges, as perceived by surveyed health care practitioners. Over 90 per cent of the responding practitioners deemed the popular expressive arts to have healing potential for people with cancer. While surveyed clinicians believe in the health benefits of arts, they report considerable challenges to incorporating the creative arts into their practices. We conclude by advocating for clinicians’ education, expanded scopes of practice, further research and a reorganization of clinical work so that clinicians can integrate the arts into their practices.

Mapping stakeholder positions in the Kenyan land reform process
Authors: K’Akumu O. A. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The debate on land reform in sub-Saharan Africa has moved from the purpose and direction of reforms to the reasons why proposed reforms are not being implemented. The literature shows that one of the reasons for failure to implement reforms is conflicting stakeholder interests. This article proposes stakeholder analysis as a management tool that may be used to solve this problem. It goes ahead to apply the tool as a demonstration of how stakeholder analysis can resolve some of the conflicts involving stakeholder actions. These include a multi-level mapping of stakeholder characteristics for the land reform process in Kenya, a tri-attribute mapping of stakeholder characteristics, and a stakeholder mapping according to the six generic management strategies. This would help the implementing agency in carrying out the reform process successfully in Kenya.

PHARMACOTHERAPY FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: NEW STRATEGY, NEW TARGETS
Authors: Nasonov E. L. 
Published: September 2017

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immunoinflammatory (autoimmune) disease manifested by progressive joint destruction, systemic inflammation of the internal organs, and a wide range of comorbidities associated with chronic inflammation and frequently with adverse drug reactions. However, despite the major advances in the early diagnosis and treatment of RA, which have led to the radical improvement of prognosis in many patients, the problem of pharmacotherapy for RA is far from being solved. This is determined by a lack of sensitive and specific diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in the early stage of the disease and, most importantly, by the heterogeneity of immunopathogenesis mechanisms in both at the onset of RA and during its progression, which make the personalization of therapy difficult in the patients. Selective block of inflammatory mediators with innovative medicines is frequently associated with primary inefficiency, secondary drug resistance, the development of generalized immunosuppression, the paradoxical activation of an autoimmune process, and the aggravation of comorbidities. At the same time, it is difficult to search for new RA pharmacotherapy targets since the nature of immunopathological disorders in patients can be substantially different from the inflammatory process that takes place when simulating arthritis in laboratory animals. The paper discusses the novel drugs that are used in rheumatology to treat RA or tested in different phases of preclinical or clinical trials, such as tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-17, anti-B cell therapy, bispecific antibodies, blockers of JAK (and other signaling molecules), bioelectronic vagus nerve activation, dendritic cell-based immunotherapy, and other therapies, as well as approaches to secondary prevention of RA in patients with undifferentiated arthritis and clinically suspect arthralgia, who are at high risk for RA. Decoding the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of RA and a chronic inflammatory process as a whole has created preconditions for the design of novel medications for the prevention and treatment of this disease, the introduction of which into clinical practice should lead to a radical improvement of prognosis in this disease.

Authors: Zhelyabina O. V. , Eliseev M. S. 
Published: September 2017

The paper reviews the most important works devoted to the study of the impact of individual foods and food components on the risk of gout, its clinical manifestations and the level of uricemia. It considers some mechanisms probably underlying the impact of dietary patterns on the level of uricemia. It is shown that the available data on possible alterations in the diet with their proper application can considerably affect both the incidence of gout and the course of the current disease.
Migration and Welfare Systems – State of the Art and Research Challenges
Authors: Jakubiak Igor 
Published: September 2017

AbstractImmigration is one of the heavily discussed subjects in modern academic and political debate. In recent decades, fiscal effects of international migration remained the centre of interest. The goal of this paper is to review and synthesise the available literature, devoted to the relationship between immigration and welfare systems, in order to present the state of the art in this area and draw conclusions for further research. Despite extensive literature, it is difficult to find an unambiguous answer to the question, whether immigrants are a burden or an asset to the state with redistributive policies. Moreover, some of the assumptions and approaches widely used in presented articles appear too simplistic or even unfounded.
Assyriology and Stalinism: Soviet Historiography and the Invention of Slavery in the Ancient Near East
Authors: Krikh Sergey 
Published: September 2017

AbstractThis article analyzes the main reasons why Soviet historiography developed a theory that the ancient Near East was characterized by an economy based on slavery. It explores the interplay of external and internal factors leading to the special role of Assyriology in that process, particularly through the work of the Russian and Soviet orientalist Vasiliy Struve.
The Exclusivism of Religion Teachers: Intolerance and Radicalism in Indonesian Public Schools
Authors: Maulana Dirga 
Published: October 2017

In the context of Indonesianism and Islamism, religion teachers serve as avant garde of tolerance, which is then manifested into their social contexts. The attitude of religious tolerance and inclusivity are must have for religion teachers; since these teachers have the closest connection to their students who are mostly young people. We have observed that the increasing radicalism in educational institutions has been associated with particular models of interpretation, understanding, teaching, schools of thoughts, denomination, and even sects within a particular religion. For instance, an international agency has reported the discovery of an "intolerance curriculum" in Saudi Arabian schools (Freedom House, 2006).In Indonesia, the growth of radicalism was due to scriptural, rigid, exclusive, and close-minded interpretation towards religious scripts. In 2008, PPIM (Center for the Study of Islam and Society) UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta released an important finding that "the majority of religion teachers in Indonesian public schools have exclusive and conservative view towards religion."DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v24i2.5707
Hospital Costs and Charges of Discharge Delays in Children Hospitalized for Abuse and Neglect
Authors: Lee Michael , Bachim Angela , Smith Carolyn , Camp Elizabeth A. , Donaruma-Kwoh Marcella , Patel Binita 
Published: October 2017

OBJECTIVES:
Hospitalizations for child maltreatment cases are longer and costlier than hospitalizations for medically similar nonabuse cases. Some discharges are delayed despite medical clearance because of a lack of safe disposition, increasing the cost of hospitalization. We aim to quantify the additional charges and costs of these delays.

METHODS:
A retrospective chart review evaluated the dates of medical clearance and clinical characteristics of child protection team inpatient consults from 2012 to 2014 at a 595-bed quaternary-care urban hospital. Charges and costs were compared between those with no delay, those with any delay, and those with a delay &gt;1 day. We excluded children who were not admitted, in whom no abuse was suspected, or in whom sexual abuse was suspected absent extragenital injury.

RESULTS:
Thirty-six percent (134 of 375) of children hospitalized for abuse remained hospitalized after medical clearance and 20.5% (77 of 375) of children were delayed &gt;1 day. Among those who were delayed, the mean number of days delayed was 4.37 (SD ±7.44). Mean charges after medical clearance were $13 647.53 (±$30 172.17), and mean costs after medical clearance were $6521.93 (±$13 975.34). Both charges and costs were markedly right-skewed. Median costs after medical clearance were $1553.64 (interquartile range, $26.10–$5244.20). Cumulatively, 586 total days of delay resulted in excess charges of $1.8 million.

CONCLUSIONS:
Continued hospitalization beyond medical clearance occurs often and represents a significant cost. Further study is needed to evaluate whether interventions can be targeted at children with characteristics correlated with prolonged discharge delays.
Possibility of identifying plant components of the diet of Harpalus rufipes (Coleoptera, Carabidae) by visual evaluation
Authors: Reshetniak D. Y. , Pakhomov O. Y. , Brygadyrenko V. V. 
Published: September 2017

Harpalus rufipes (De Geer, 1774) is a trans-palearctic, polyzonal, habitat generalist species, which is usually the most numerous ground beetle species in agricultural ecosystems and forest plantations. In laboratory conditions, 50 H. rufipes imagoes were placed in separate containers, each individual being fed over several days with seeds of a single species of plant, the total number of plant species being ten. Then the content of the beetles’ intestine were analyzed using Lugol’s iodine stain for visualizing starch granules. Native agents of ground seeds of plants and also of seeds treated by a fermentative agent from a mammalian pancreas were used for control. Granules of starch from seeds of Triticum aestivum L., Hordeum vulgare L. and Secale cereale L. were only insignificantly broken down by enzymes in the intestines of H. rufipes. The starch granules of Avena sativa L., Panicum miliaceum L., Sorghum drummondii (Steud.) Millsp. and Chase, Fagopyrum esculentum Moench and Sinapis arvensis L. were also insignificantly affected in the beetles’ intestine compared to the agent affected by enzymes of vertebrate animals. Starch granules of Beta vulgaris L. seeds affected by the enzymes became deformed and fragmented. Sometimes only their fragments remained. Seeds with a high content of fats such as seeds of Juglans regia L. were digested poorly in the intestine of H. rufipes (drops of fat could be seen surrounding certain food particles, which obstructed their digestion). The results of microscopic study of the intestinal content of mixed phytophage ground beetles of agricultural environments will help in identifying mechanisms of regulation of trophic chains by polyphage species, and will help advance the study of gregarine infection rates among ground beetles.
Radio monitoring of plant products and soils of Polesia, Zhytomyr region, during the long-term period after the disaster at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant
Authors: Romanchuk L. D. , Fedonuk T. P. , Khant G. O. 
Published: September 2017

The article highlights the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. Northern Polesia has been and still remains the most polluted area. Full scale and limited economic activity is carried out on part of the contaminated territories. The zone of radioactive contamination includes half of the territory of this region, one third of the agricultural land and almost the same amount of the arable land. 9 districts, 734 towns and villages are located within the zone of radioactive contamination. In the long-term period after the disaster the situation in contaminated areas has improved and become predictable due to natural processes of recovery and implementation of countermeasures based on results of monitoring. However, until today regions of Ukrainian Polesia continue to produce agricultural products which do not meet the requirements of government regulations concerning the content of radionuclides in food and appear to present a threat to consumers. To assess the accumulation of 137Cs in plant products, we investigated the activity of these radionuclides in potatoes, vegetables, root crops and grains, and calculated the ratios of its transition from the ground to the products, which helped evaluate the intensity and amount of accumulation of radionuclides during the completion of the half-life period of 137Cs and evaluate the radiological situation in the northern regions of Polesia. The density of soil contamination with 137Cs and its specific activity in plant products grown on private plots were studied in three different districts of Zhytomyr region: Narodychi, Korosten and Ovruch. Analysis of the density of soil pollution with the 137Cs isotopes in the Northern part of Zhytomyr region in the post-disaster period shows that even 30 years after the tragedy, significant areas of arable land under certain conditions remain potentially dangerous on account of contaminated plant products. The specific activity of 137Cs in plant products grown on private plots was studied in residential places where soil contamination was detected. In particular, the list of studied crops included: potato tubers, white cabbage, fresh tomatoes, table beets, carrots, onions, beans, oat grains, corn grains. The most critical were populated areas located in zone II – village Vystupovychi of Ovruch district, village Loznytsia and village Khrystynivka of Narodychi district. In these settlements an excess of DR-2006 in plant products was noted despite the fact that an excess over the maximum permissible level of density of soil pollution was not observed. In decreasing order by the amount of CT 137Cs, we ranked crops as follows: beans > table beets > carrots > potato tubers > corn grains ˃ oats grains > white cabbage > onions > fresh tomatoes. For the population living on radioactively contaminated territories, plant products grown on private plots have been and still remain the main source of 137Cs radionuclides entering the body.
An Overview of FIGARCH and Related Time Series Models
Authors: Tayefi Maryam , Ramanathan T.V. 
Published: September 2017

This paper reviews the theory and applications related to fractionally integrated generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (FIGARCH) models, mainly for describing the observed persistence in the volatility of a time series. The long memory nature of FIGARCH models allows to be a better candidate than other conditional heteroscedastic models for modeling volatility in exchange rates, option prices, stock market returns and inflation rates. We discuss some of the important properties of FIGARCH models inthis review. We also compare the FIGARCH with the autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) model. Problems related to parameter estimation and forecasting using a FIGARCH model are presented. The application of a FIGARCH model to exchange rate data is discussed. We briefly introduce some other models, that are closely related to FIGARCH models. The paper ends with some concluding remarks and future directions of research.

Authors: Palheta Cláudio Farias , Guimarães Maria da Gloria V. 
Published: September 2017

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os episódios de absenteísmo causados por doenças em geral em trabalhadores de uma indústria de transformação no Amazonas para produção de fitas para impressão por transferência térmica conhecida como Thermal Transfer Ribbon – TTR. O absenteísmo-doença é um evento que está relacionado à ausência do trabalhador as suas atividades laborais e que causam impactos negativos para a produtividade e a lucratividade das organizações. Analisar as doenças que mais afastam os trabalhadores de seus postos de trabalho torna-se importante porque proporciona uma visão mais clara acerca das causas dessas ausências e pode auxiliar as organizações a adotarem ações que permitam a redução desses eventos. A metodologia da pesquisa foi de campo, na qual foram coletadas informações de 187 atestados médicos, que posteriormente, foram analisadas as informações buscando identificar as principais causas de afastamentos e calculando os índices de frequência das licenças médicas e duração média das ausências. Os resultados apresentados confirmam que o absenteísmo por licença médica são episódios que ocorrem com frequência na indústria estudada e junto a isso apresenta uma compreensão mais clara sobre como absenteísmo-doença pode impactar na produtividade das indústrias.
Cone‐Beam Computed Tomography and Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy: An American Academy of Periodontology Best Evidence Review Focusing on Risk Assessment of the Dentoalveolar Bone Changes Influenced by Tooth Movement
Authors: Mandelaris George A. , Neiva Rodrigo , Chambrone Leandro 
Published: October 2017

Background: The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate whether cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging can be used to assess dentoalveolar anatomy critical to the periodontist when determining risk assessment for patients undergoing orthodontic therapy using fixed or removable appliances.Methods: Both observational and interventional trials reporting on the use of CBCT imaging assessing the impact of orthodontic/dentofacial orthopedic treatment on periodontal tissues (i.e., alveolar bone) were included. Changes in the alveolar bone thickness and height around natural teeth as well as treatment costs were evaluated. MEDLINE (via PubMed) and EMBASE databases were searched for articles published in the English language, up to and including July 2016, and extracted data were organized into evidence tables.Results: Thirteen studies were included in this systematic review describing the positive or deleterious changes on the alveolar bone surrounding natural teeth undergoing orthodontic tooth movement or influenced by orthopedic forces through fixed appliances. Clinical recommendation summaries presenting the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence in terms of benefits and harms were generated.Conclusions: CBCT imaging can improve the periodontal diagnostic acumen regarding alveolar bone alterations influenced by orthodontic tooth movement and can help determine risk assessment prior to such intervention. Clinicians are also better informed to determine risk assessment and develop preventative or plan interceptive periodontal augmentation (soft tissue and/or bone augmentation) therapies for patients undergoing orthodontic tooth movement. These considerations are recognized as being especially critical for treatment approaches in patients where buccal tooth movement (expansion) is planned in the anterior mandible or involving the maxillary premolars.
Psicopatología de la ipseidad y la corporalidad: a propósito de un caso de esquizofrenia cenestopática.
Authors: Valle Rubén , Di Natale-Guevara Milko , Cruzado Lizardo 
Published: September 2017

La fenomenología ha dividido conceptualmente al cuerpo humano en el “cuerpo-objeto”, la entidad física que puede ser percibida por uno mismo y por otros, y en el “cuerpo-vivido”, que es la experiencia inmediata del propio cuerpo, tácitamente experimentado (o vivido) en una perspectiva de primera persona. El “cuerpo-vivido” origina la experiencia pre-reflexiva de la vida, adscribible al yo mínimo, core self o ipseidad que constituye el sustento nuclear de la conciencia del yo. Este modo corporal opera implícitamente en cada acción que ejecutamos en el mundo y nos permite la aprehensión y entendimiento del entorno. Sin embargo, en algunos procesos mórbidos el cuerpo puede perder su calidad de “transparencia” y volverse anormalmente explícito, tal como ocurre en la esquizofrenia. En esta patología, los pacientes sufren un distanciamiento subjetivo entre la mente y el cuerpo al que se denomina descorporalización y, como consecuencia, experimentan un debilitamiento del sentido básico del yo, alteraciones de la relación sujeto-objeto y del otorgamiento de significados, así como en la vivencia de la intersubjetividad. Anormalidades del “cuerpo-vivido” han sido identificadas previamente en los casos de esquizofrenia desorganizada, paranoide y catatónica. En este reporte analizamos cómo se manifiestan las alteraciones del cuerpo-vivido y de la ipseidad en un caso de esquizofrenia cenestopática.
