Market orientation in news media: How learning about and responding to readers and competitors impact success
Authors: Sommer Christoph , Krebs Isabelle 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Because of technological developments, it has become easier for media outlets and their actors to collect data, which facilitates the gaining of knowledge regarding customers and competitors. We apply market orientation theory and investigate through standardized interviews with high-level media representatives whether market-oriented news outlets are more successful in terms of circulation change. The results of this exploratory study show that dailies, which emphasize reader orientation and a swift reaction to competitors’ initiatives, are rewarded with success. For weeklies, the opposite is true. Rating means of researching the readership and responsiveness to the competition low is associated with an increase in circulation. These findings call for different media management strategies depending on the type of news outlet.
Transcendence through evil: Homicide as tragic thriller
Authors: Callens Johan 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Drawing on the David Mamet papers, the present article takes issue with Vincent Canby’s critique of Homicide (Mamet, 1991) and argues that it successfully revalorizes the popular film genre of the thriller by reconceiving it as a tragedy. While the major sources of inspiration are shown to be classical and neo-classical models thematically revolving around the myth of the Minotaur and structurally relying on confessions, parallels with the metaphysical and analytic detective story are also detected, apart from the influence of Martha Graham’s choreographies on the Minotaur in which Mamet’s former dance teacher, Mark Ryder, co-starred. Insofar as these diverse influences were partly mediated by Joseph Campbell, his writings on myth and his posthumous reputation are here reconsidered. Ultimately, Homicide’s demonstrable infusion of myth and tragedy into the filmic genre of the thriller should be seen as further evidence of the ongoing cross-generic dynamic within David Mamet’s creative output.

Art therapy at the border: Holding the line of the kite
Authors: Kalmanowitz Debra , Lloyd Bobby 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
This article looks at the use of kite making and kite flying in art therapy in two border refugee camps in Europe in 2016. The authors explore the physical and psychological meaning of borders and the role that kite activity played in psychosocial support in this uncertain and frequently volatile environment, with recently arrived refugees. The kite activity is explored for its potential to enhance resilience, its capacity to connect with life beyond the refugee camp, to serve to distract the individual or group and its ability to draw on protective factors, both personal and cultural.
Breathing in and breathing out: Expressive arts in psycho-social support training in Korea
Authors: Speiser Vivien Marcow , Hadari Aviel 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
This article will describe an expressive therapy psychosocial training approach used in august 2014 with groups of clinicians, clergy and community workers in Korea following the sinking of the Sewol ferry in April 2014. The co-facilitators were expressive arts therapists who live in Israel and the United States, respectively, and the expressive arts modalities used in this programme included dance and movement, storytelling, enactment, music and visual arts. The training programme drew upon the facilitators’ backgrounds in working with trauma and ritual in expressive therapy practice and was developed as a support to caregivers in the development of resilience and protective factors to combat feelings of isolation and compassion fatigue.
Finding voice: Creating vision, the trailblazing work of Gloria Simoneaux and Harambee Arts
Authors: Simoneaux Gloria , Maller Doreen , Gogarty Lauren , Tamang Sarala 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
This article explores the work of international humanitarian Gloria Simoneaux who brings Expressive Arts healing practices to people in times and places of crisis. Using art as a vehicle for healing, the Harambee Arts method considers the challenges of inclusion, of vulnerability, of connection and of lovingly building communities of care and growth. Throughout her life, Gloria Simoneaux has worked with and developed programmes for the vulnerable and underserved; in 1989, she founded DrawBridge: An Arts Program for Homeless Children, still vibrant today, which has served more than 15,000 children in the San Francisco Bay Area.
My work draws on three sources – profound love and respect for children, an understanding of the powerful benefits of play as a healing tool, and a belief that everyone has something of value to deliver to society and deserves an opportunity to give back.
Can the arts help ordinary people make a difference? A private investigator’s perspective
Authors: Clemons Margaret 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
In this article the author describes the challenges for the ordinary person confronted with an opportunity to change a community mired in violence by using the arts. Her profound experiences in Guyana, South America, reinforce the idea that the arts can be the driving influence of change for both the community and for the author herself. Current practices in the treatment and prevention of violence against women and children in Guyana is lacking. An arts-based project focused on photographs of people’s faces taken by fifteen young people from ages 11 to 17, in black and white blown up to oversized posters (3’×5’) were pasted on the walls in communities around the capitol city of Georgetown, Guyana. The artist JR’s TED Talk statement, ‘What we see changes who we are’, was adopted to create the WITNESS Project.

Garden of Peace: Responding to the challenge of a civilization of peace
Authors: Gal-Ed Hagitte 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
This article focuses on insights from the application of the ARTiculation modality in trauma and conflict transformation through the Garden of Peace projects (1989–) with specific reference to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. It is argued that ARTiculation provides a safe, fact-based concrete form of knowing-by-being, thus naturally allowing to reconcile our culturally enshrined mind–body split. Due to the function of our innate Dialogic Intelligence (DIN) capacity, ARTiculation is distinguished by its natural transformative realism combining mindfulness and creative action with epigenetic insights on the individual and cultural levels in tandem.
Reforming for “all” or for “some”: Misalignment in the discourses of education reformers and implementers
Authors: Lenhoff Sarah Winchell , Ulmer Jasmine B. 
Published: October 2016

The ways in which the language of reformers intersects with and informs reform implementation is important to our understanding of how education policy impacts practice. To explore this issue, we employed critical discourse analysis (CDA) to analyze the language used by a 21st century skills-focused reform organization to promote its program alongside the language that local actors used to explain its implementation. We examined source materials, field notes, interview data, and publicly available organizational data collected over a five-year period to critically examine how discourse 1) illustrated alignment between the stated and implicit audience for the school reform program and 2) shaped subsequent implementation. Analyses suggest the reform organization promoted itself through a discourse that all students in all reform schools were being prepared for college, career, and civic life. There was a significant misalignment, however, in the discourses regarding the appropriate student audience for the reform. Local actors questioned whether the reform program 1) was suitable for all students and 2) provided necessary supports for all students in all schools. This misalignment led to uneven implementation and resulted in some educators dismissing the goals of the program as unrealistic. Given that educational agencies have considerable freedom to choose among diverse reform programs, our analysis suggests it is important to understand the discourses through which reform organizations advertise models, implementers justify adoption, and educators respond.

Modulatory effects of rutin on the expression of cytochrome P450s and antioxidant enzymes in human hepatoma cells
Authors: Karakurt Sedar 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Expression of a drug and xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, cytochrome P450s (CYPs), and antioxidant enzymes can be modulated by various factors. The flavonoid rutin was investigated for its anti-carcinogen and protective effects as well as modulatory action on CYPs and phase II enzymes in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Rutin inhibited proliferation of HEPG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner with the IC50 value of 52.7 μmol L-1 and invasion of HEPG2 cells (21.6 %, p = 0.0018) and colony formation of those invaded cells (57.4 %, p < 0.0001). Rutin treatment also significantly increased early/late-stage apoptosis in HEPG2 cells (28.9 %, p < 0.001). Treatment by rutin significantly inhibited protein expressions of cytochrome P450-dependent CYP3A4 (75.3 %, p < 0.0001), elevated CYP1A1 enzymes (1.7-fold, p = 0.0084) and increased protein expressions of antioxidant and phase II reaction catalyzing enzymes, NQO1 (2.42-fold, p < 0.0001) and GSTP1 (2.03-fold, p < 0.0001). Besides, rutin treatment significantly inhibited mRNA expression of CYP3A4 (73.2 %, p=0.0014). Also, CYP1A1, NQO1 and GSTP1 mRNA expressions were significantly increased 2.77-fold (p = 0.029), 4.85- fold (p = 0.0051) and 9.84-fold (p < 0.0001), respectively.
Occurrence of intersex in wild freshwater fish in Slovenian rivers: a histological evaluation
Authors: Vrecl Milka , Jenčič Vlasta 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The aim of this preliminary research was to establish if there are intersex occurrences in wild freshwater fish in Slovenian rivers and streams. In the first study we evaluated all fish species of both sexes obtained from the river Ljubljanica from its source to mouth. In the second study we focused on the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and brown trout (Salmo trutta m. fario) males from 30 rivers and streams in different parts of Slovenia. The male gonads were histologically assessed for the presence of oocytes to determine the frequency and degree of intersex. Oocytes were found in the testicular tissue of a single grayling (Thymallus thymallus) and in the adipose tissue adjacent to the testis of a single common barbel (Barbus barbus), both from the Ljubljanica. Several cyst-like structures that resemble degenerated presumptive oocytes were also present in several trout testes. This preliminary report is the first of its kind in Slovenia. To gain a better insight into the intersex issue in Slovenia, we plan to regularly biomonitor freshwater pollution by histologically examining fish gonads and, if possible, by determining vitellogenin plasma levels in fish.

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the beneficial effects of magnesium (Mg) supplementation upon carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) toxicity. Our study was carried out on 24 Wistar male rats divided into 4 batches. During a 6 week period, one group served as a control, two groups received Mg (after 4 weeks one of these groups was then treated with CCl4), and a final group was treated with CCl4 only. Under our experimental conditions, CCl4 poisoning resulted in oxidative stress indicated by a significant increase in lipid peroxidation level in renal tissues. The blood levels of creatinine and urea increased while the blood level of uric acid and proteins decreased. CCl4 also induced an increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity in kidneys, in the number of red blood cells (RBC), and in hemoglobin content (Hb) and mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). However, white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (Pl) and catalase activity (CAT) all decreased significantly. Treatment with Mg was found to alleviate most of CCl4-induced damage by decreasing lipid peroxidation and by correcting changed hematological parameters, and catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide-dismutase activities. The results provide strong evidence that Mg supplementation is beneficial in protecting the kidneys from CCl4 toxicity.
Remote vital parameter monitoring in neonatology – robust, unobtrusive heart rate detection in a realistic clinical scenario
Authors: Blanik Nikolai , Heimann Konrad , Pereira Carina , Paul Michael , Blazek Vladimir , Venema Boudewijn , Orlikowsky Thorsten , Leonhardt Steffen 
Published: October 2016

AbstractVital parameter monitoring of term and preterm infants during incubator care with self-adhesive electrodes or sensors directly positioned on the skin [e.g. photoplethysmography (PPG) for oxygen saturation or electrocardiography (ECG)] is an essential part of daily routine care in neonatal intensive care units. For various reasons, this kind of monitoring contains a lot of stress for the infants. Therefore, there is a need to measure vital parameters (for instance respiration, temperature, pulse, oxygen saturation) without mechanical or conductive contact. As a non-contact method of monitoring, we present an adapted version of camera-based photoplethysmography imaging (PPGI) according to neonatal requirements. Similar to classic PPG, the PPGI camera detects small temporal changes in the term and preterm infant’s skin brightness due to the cardiovascular rhythm of dermal blood perfusion. We involved 10 preterm infants in a feasibility study [five males and five females; mean gestational age: 26 weeks (24–28 weeks); mean biological age: 35 days (8–41 days); mean weight at the time of investigation: 960 g (670–1290 g)]. The PPGI camera was placed directly above the incubators with the infant inside illuminated by an infrared light emitting diode (LED) array (850 nm). From each preterm infant, 5-min video sequences were recorded and analyzed post hoc. As the measurement scenario was kept as realistic as possible, the infants were not constrained in their movements in front of the camera. Movement intensities were assigned into five classes (1: no visible motion to 5: heavy struggling). PPGI was found to be significantly sensitive to movement artifacts. However, for movement classes 1–4, changes in blood perfusion according to the heart rate (HR) were recovered successfully (Pearson correlation: r=0.9759; r=0.765 if class 5 is included). The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Universal Hospital of the RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany (EK 254/13).
ISO 9001 standard in the development of customer satisfaction in the public sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Kakeš Dino , Fazlović Senad 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The concept of quality management in the public sector is nowadays more popular than ever before. Since it forms in the fields of public interest, public companies, institutions and organizations are crucially important for the development and the functioning of any social and modern society. Therefore, those organisations are expected to perform transparent, efficient, democratic and socially righteous work with the goal of maintaining and improving the quality of a nation’s economic life. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the public sector is specific and additionally complicated by a complex political system, legal procedures and the constitutional structure and as such, it is often very ineffective. The main purpose of the implementation of ISO 9001 is to introduce a system of quality management and improve the quality of public services as well as to ensure customer satisfaction. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to present the concept of customer satisfaction and selected statistical methods in quality management, and to apply a part of these methods through secondary research and analysis of published reports about customer satisfaction with services of the public sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Results of the study have confirmed greater user satisfaction with service in the public sector in units of local self-government with an implemented ISO 9001 standard implemented ISO 9001 standard than in units in which the standard has not been implemented.
Empowerment in the Open Innovation Concept
Authors: Aneta Pachura 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The aim of this study is an attempt to interpret the concept of „empowerment” in the perspective of open innovation issues. The text consists of a brief introduction, four sections, and summary. The main background of the research is related to the importance of the social reality of the organisation to evolving paradigms of innovation. In the face of globalization challenges, the innovation management could be interpreted as a specific system based on interdisciplinary analysis of an organisation’s social potential.
The methodology involves desk research and theoretical deliberations. As the results, this study distinguished attributes and role of empowerment in the social development process. The possibilities of an adoption of this concept to management in the open innovation context provide the theoretical contribution.
Sustainable Business Development Through Leadership in SMEs
Authors: Szczepańska-Woszczyna Katarzyna , Kurowska-Pysz Joanna 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to examine the role and scope of the influence of leadership on the sustainable development of SMEs. Research methods included the theoretical analysis of scientific literature and a direct survey. The quantitative sample for analysis contained 138 managers, the representatives of companies (SMEs) located in Poland. The data was collected in November and December 2015.The obtained results show that leadership is one of the key aspects that enable sustainability. It is more important than employee approval, beliefs of employees from individual departments and teams, a long-term strategy for the sustainable development of the company, approval by external stakeholders, and substantial financial resources. There is a statistically significant relationship between taking action related to sustainable business in the company and manager’s conviction (awareness) regarding the concept of sustainable business development as well as the influence of the manager on employees and the stimulation of their behaviour, including their development, decent treatment, communication with the manager, and the system of rewards and promotions. Managers undertake some action aimed at developing their employees. They also establish relationships with external stakeholders.The paper presents theoretical reflections on the relationship between the sustainable business development of SMEs and leadership, also verified by the empirical study conducted among managers of private companies. The findings of the study contribute to the understanding of the connections between these constructs. The relationship between the creation of sustainable business development is analysed in depth with reference to SMEs. Entrepreneurs and managers of SMEs can benefit from the study in order to build an organisation capable of achieving effective and sustainable development.
