Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Novel Aesthetics
Authors: Fisher Laura R. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s novels and short stories are notably didactic, but they are not merely socioeconomic treatises in disguise. Her unabashedly mundane and pedantic literary style embodies a self-consciously modern aesthetics of didacticism that pervaded US literature in its years of transition between realism, naturalism, and modernism and that characterized the subgenre of sociological fiction. Gilman’s 1910 novel What Diantha Did models the social rigor that sociological novelists considered essential to the art of fiction. What Diantha Did tracks the creation of a system of kitchenless homes in California and the subsequent emancipation of women from forced domesticity. Gilman’s prose reflects on, and even formally replicates, the drudgery and repetition she associates with household labor. Gilman proposes an analogy between novels and kitchens as genres of modern social life: both must be collectivized and liberated from the archaic, the personal, and the masculine.
The Impossible Miss Woolf: Kate Atkinson and the Feminist Modernist Historical Novel
Authors: Micir Melanie 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Reading Kate Atkinson’s Life after Life (2013) in the context of theories of the historical novel (Georg Lukács, Fredric Jameson) and counterfactual fiction (Catherine Gallagher, Andrew Miller, Paul Saint-Amour) sheds light on an overlooked genealogy of the feminist modernist historical novel. Atkinson’s novels are often cited as examples of postmodern metafiction, but in fact her work is more directly indebted to modernist experiments in counterfactual historical writing by figures like Virginia Woolf. Moreover, this inheritance, inasmuch as it informs Atkinson’s focus on the untold lives of ordinary women, is not only modernist but feminist.
Putting Messianic Femininity into Zionist Political Action
Authors: Feldman Rachel Z. 
Published: October 2017

AbstractThe movement to rebuild the Third Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount/Haram ash-Sharif in Jerusalem has grown significantly since 2000. The Orthodox Jewish “Women for the Temple” group has come to play a central role in this activism. Women for the Temple activists perform a messianic femininity that emphasizes maternal duties and women’s redemptive power in Judaism while challenging male religious authorities and religious law in other areas. Activists define themselves as guardians of domestic space and the House of God (the future Third Temple) and redeemers of the Jewish nation. This project simultaneously empowers women and enables state violence against Palestinians on Haram ash-Sharif. Scholarship that has examined Israel’s messianic right-wing women’s activism has overlooked their Ashkenazi whiteness and their middle-class privileged status in Israel. The race-class normativity of Women for the Temple allows them to access resources and police protection and facilitates the mainstreaming of the Third Temple movement.

Abstract
In this work, we have prepared alumina-embedded mesoporous silica and investigated their molybdenum (Mo) adsorption properties. To synthesize such materials, mesoporous silica particles were firstly synthesized via a soft-templated approach followed by the introduction of aluminium butoxide into the mesopores, which was converted into alumina by heat treatment at high temperatures. The obtained alumina-embedded mesoporous silica samples (Alx-MPS) were characterized by low- and wide-angle X-ray diffractions, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and transmission electron microscopy. The effects of Al/Si ratios and calcination temperature on their Mo adsorption properties were also carefully investigated by using the batch method. The experimental results showed the following trend in Mo adsorption capacity in relation to the calcination temperature: 750 °C &gt; 600 °C &gt; 900 °C &gt; 1050 °C and Al/Si molar ratio: Al0.1-MPS &lt; Al0.3-MPS &lt; Al0.5-MPS &lt; Al0.6-MPS.
Effects of environmental change on agriculture, nutrition and health: A framework with a focus on fruits and vegetables

Published: October 2017

Environmental changes are likely to affect agricultural production over the next decades. The interactions between environmental change, agricultural yields and crop quality, and the critical pathways to future diets and health outcomes are largely undefined. There are currently no quantitative models to test the impact of multiple environmental changes on nutrition and health outcomes. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we developed a framework to link the multiple interactions between environmental change, agricultural productivity and crop quality, population-level food availability, dietary intake and health outcomes, with a specific focus on fruits and vegetables. The main components of the framework consist of: i) socio-economic and societal factors, ii) environmental change stressors, iii) interventions and policies, iv) food system activities, v) food and nutrition security, and vi) health and well-being outcomes. The framework, based on currently available evidence, provides an overview of the multidimensional and complex interactions with feedback between environmental change, production of fruits and vegetables, diets and health, and forms the analytical basis for future modelling and scenario testing.
Understanding the Sources of Risk Underlying the Cross Section of Commodity Returns
Authors: Bakshi Gurdip , Gao Xiaohui , Rossi Alberto G. 
Published: October 2017

We show that a model featuring an average commodity factor, a carry factor, and a momentum factor is capable of describing the cross-sectional variation of commodity returns. More parsimonious one- and two-factor models that feature only the average and/or carry factors are rejected. To provide an economic interpretation, we show that innovations in global equity volatility can price portfolios formed on carry, while innovations in a commodity-based measure of speculative activity can price portfolios formed on momentum. Finally, we characterize the relation between the factors and the investment opportunity set.

Continuing Professional Development: Pre-hospital management of end-of-life care
Authors: Kitchener Anthony 
Published: October 2017

Overview This CPD module will outline some of the challenges for patients at their planned end of life. End-of-life care is a specialism which paramedics, as the ‘go to’ provider of out-of-hours healthcare, are often faced with. It will cover a number of conditions which can no longer be cured, but instead, treatment is designed to be palliative. We will focus on some of the emergencies such as secretions, bleeding and pain in the end stages of life.
Continuing Professional Development: Vertigo and pre-hospital care
Authors: Kitchener Anthony 
Published: October 2017

Overview In this CPD module, we will look at the symptoms of vertigo. Vertigo dizziness is a presentation that paramedics may face, and is often associated with other presentations, such as head injury, stroke and benign pathology. This module will explore some of the different causes of vertigo and how the paramedic can approach this in a safe way, considering the different pathophysiology of each type of vertigo.
Continuing Professional Development: June 2017 Rigid cervical collar in pre-hospital care
Authors: Rogers Leigh 
Published: October 2017

Overview It has been widely acknowledged that evidence supporting the use of cervical collar has been lacking, and that its use was therefore based upon hypothetical benefit. However, modern evidence challenges the very principle of immobilisations on which the collar's use was justified, and argues that the cervical collar is an ineffective immobilisation tool regardless. Cervical collars have always been thought to be a relatively harmless measure. Evidence suggests that the application of cervical collars can be harmful to patients. An assessment of today's evidence justifies an immediate change of practice, and EMS providers across the world are adapting accordingly. Practice change in the UK is well overdue.
Aristotle as a guide to writing detective stories: The Poetics in Melville Davisson Post and Dorothy L. Sayers’s literary theory
Authors: Bray Suzanne 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In his 1994 study on Maupassant and the American Short Story, Richard Fusco mentions a small group of writers and critics, ‘hitherto generally ignored’, who have ‘attempted to apply Aristotelian techniques to the study of the short story’. Among these are two bestselling authors: Melville Davisson Post (1869–1930) and Dorothy L. Sayers (1893–1957), both of whom published detailed studies demonstrating how Aristotle’s Poetics ‘laid down precisely how the short story’, and in particular the mystery story, ‘ought to be built up’. Using Aristotle both to criticize some highbrow literary tendencies of their day as well to inspire their own writing, Post and Sayers agree on the vast majority of the principles they find in the Poetics: in particular on the need for universal appeal, careful, structured plotting, a surprise ending and logical coherence in the plot. However, they disagree on how these principles may best be applied to the dénouement. Their own most successful stories, especially Post’s Uncle Abner Mysteries and Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey and Montague Egg tales, may be seen to follow the Aristotelian theories they present, as do most of the stories included in Sayers’ famous anthologies. Finally, although their theories are little discussed today, it may be observed that many of the most famous short mystery stories in English do in fact follow the principles laid down by Post and Sayers and also that several creative writing courses, in universities and online, teach Aristotle’s Poetics as a guide to successful short story writing.
Editorial 33(5): Why can’t I crack the code to getting published?
Authors: Redmond Petrea , Henderson Michael , Heinrich Eva 
Published: October 2017

AJET is the premier journal in Australasia which publishes manuscripts related to technology enhanced learning and teaching in post-secondary education settings. As a result the journal recieves a large number of submissions of which only 30% actually get sent to review. This editorial explains common and ultimately avoidable issues that result in a large number of the 70% of rejections. This issue also contains eleven articles written by 27 authors who hail from 21 institutions across seven nations. The articles range across a diverse technologies, learning contexts, instructional designs, and research methodology. While there is no thematic organisation of this issue, the articles serve to remind us of the broad area of research in educational technology. In this field we continue to refine our understanding of the complex relationship between technologies and teaching as well as learning, a task made more challenging by diverse contexts and constant evolution and innovation in digital technologies themselves.
Contemporary Issues Related to Utilization of Industrial Byproducts
Authors: Kuntikana Ganaraj , Singh D. N. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The industrial byproducts extensively generated all over the world impose challenges associated with their disposal, handling, storage, and reuse. The major challenges in transport, storage, and utilization of these byproduct materials arise from their inherent alkalinity and the presence of leachable heavy metals (read: contaminants). The coal ash, bauxite residues (red mud), different slags (i.e., blast furnace slag, steel slag, ferrochrome slag, copper slag, etc.), and cement kiln dust are some of the major industrial byproducts that pose challenges. In this manuscript, an attempt has been made to address the extensive global research that has been done (and is being conducted) on the utilization of industrial byproducts in construction and infrastructural developmental activities such as land reclamation, production of building materials, pavement layers, embankments, soil stabilization/amelioration, mine backfill, and various geoenvironmental cleanup functions (the treatment of water and gases). Apart from this, attempts have also been made to consolidate the issues associated with the management and utilization of these byproducts. Also, this manuscript summarizes various aspects related to byproducts with a primary emphasis on their generation, and their physicochemical and mineralogical properties. This study then projects the application of industrial byproducts in geopolymers (a green cement) that can consume their bulk quantity, which would facilitate synergy among various industrial byproducts for sustainable infrastructure development.
TURISMO E EDUCAÇÃO PATRIMONIAL: a experiência das visitas guiadas pelos prédios da UFPel
Authors: Hallal Dalila Rosa , Müller Dalila 
Published: October 2017

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar uma ação do projeto “Turismo e Educação Patrimonial” desenvolvido pelo Curso de Bacharelado em Turismo da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel), qual seja, a Visita Guiada pelos prédios da UFPel, atividade criada em 2009. Trata-se de uma visita guiada realizada, com o auxílio dos discentes do curso de Bacharelado em Turismo, pelos prédios da Universidade, principalmente naqueles que têm um importante papel no que se refere à identidade e memória da cidade. Durante a visita, discute-se a relevância dos prédios na época em que foram construídos e que desempenhavam suas funções originais, bem como a importância do uso atual, enquanto espaço educativo, com a pretensão de criar um ambiente em que o conhecimento se misture com a emoção, reforçando o sentimento de pertencimento da comunidade em relação ao patrimônio. Na perspectiva do trabalho, a Educação Patrimonial deve considerar que a preservação dos bens culturais deve ser compreendida como prática social, inserida nos contextos culturais, nos espaços da vida das pessoas. A visita guiada vem se configurando como uma prática de escuta e observação que permitam acolher e integrar as singularidades, identidades e diversidades locais.
Párrocos, parroquias y concejos: el modelo parroquial leonés en el marco de las comunidades rurales y concejiles durante la Edad Moderna
Authors: Rubio Pérez Laureano 
Published: October 2017

Durante la Edad Moderna, al margen de la organización eclesiástica diocesana de los territorios de la provincia leonesa, la parroquia como unidad administrativa eclesiástica de base tuvo una estrecha vinculación con la organización concejil en el seno de las comunidades rurales. El estudio de los diferentes componentes parroquiales y de las relaciones y dependencias establecidas entre ellos nos va a permitir conocer la red parroquial, su tipología, dimensión y evolución. A partir de aquí uno de los objetivos fundamentales es hacer una primera valoración del clero parroquial leonés desde la doble perspectiva humana y religiosa a fin de conocer el nivel de incidencia e implicación en las relaciones sociales y productivas que se establecen en el seno de unas comunidades parroquiales muy organizadas y autogestionadas por parte de cada comunidad concejil. Del mismo modo, la iglesia parroquial constituye un centro básico de referencia a tener en cuenta, ya que se convierte en un importante marco de religiosidad y sociabilidad comunitaria.

Background: The distribution of gene variants in the Turkish Cypriot population with coronary artery disease has not been investigated. In this study, we sought to research different genetic variants in the susceptibility to coronary artery disease and to identify possible associations between various clinical parameters and the genes involved in blood coagulation as well as glucose and lipid metabolism among the Turkish Cypriots and compared the results with the respective Turkish patients from Turkey. Methods: A total of 187 individuals with coronary artery disease, namely 87 Turkish Cypriot individuals from Northern Cyprus, and 100 Turkish patients from Turkey, were investigated. The presence of CAD was documented with coronary angiography. The genetic susceptibility to coronary artery disease in the cohorts was studied using the variants FV Leiden (G1691A), Factor V R2 mutation (FVR2)(H1299R), PTH (G20210A), FXIII (V34L), β-Fibrinogen (-455 G>A), PAI-1 (4G/5G), HPA1 (a/b), MTHFR [C677T] and [A1298C], ACE (I/D), Apo B (R3500Q), and Apo E, in addition to the well-known risk factors associated with coronary artery disease.Results: Age, male sex, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, triglycerides, HDL, and triglyceride/HDL ratio were significantly associated with (P < .05); LDL (P = .05) and total cholesterol (P = .08) was marginally associated with coronary artery disease in the Turkish Cypriot population. The mutations in the MTHFR [C677T] gene variant were marginally higher in the Turkish Cypriot cohort when compared with the Turkish patients from Turkey (P = .06). No significant direct association of any of the gene variants with coronary artery disease in the Turkish Cypriot cohort could be defined. Several of the genetic variants were associated indirectly with the risk factors for coronary artery disease in Turkish Cypriots. MTHFR [A1298C] was found to be marginally associated with low HDL cholesterol (P = .08). MTHFR [C677] wild-type allele was significantly associated with a decreased rate of high LDL cholesterol (P < .05). The HPA-1 a/b variant was significantly associated with an increased rate of high total cholesterol levels (P < .05). Conclusion: Turkish Cypriot patients with coronary artery disease may be more affected by secondary factors, such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and sedentary life style when compared with genetic factors, which may be responsible for coronary artery disease.

AIMS: To compare the responses of the heart rate autonomic modulation in pregnant and non-pregnant women before and after the respiratory sinus arrhythmia maneuver.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 24 women, divided into two groups: pregnant group (independent of gestational age) and control group (non-pregnant). The evaluation consisted of recording the RR intervals using a cardiofrequencimeter, for analysis of linear and nonlinear indices of heart rate variability. The evaluations were made at rest in left lateral decubitus, before and after the maneuver of accentuation of respiratory sinus arrhythmia, consisting of slow breaths five to six cycles per minute. The expiration/inspiration ratio and the difference between inspiration and expiration were evaluated during the maneuver. Results were compared between the two groups (pregnant and non-pregnant), as well as those obtained in each group before and after the maneuver. For the statistical analysis the level of significance considered was p <0.05. RESULTS: Linear indices showed increased baseline sympathetic modulation (low frequency band) in pregnant women when compared to non-pregnant women (pregnant women: 68.9±28.1; non pregnant women: 49.3±11.7; p=0,002). After the respiratory maneuver, the root mean square of successive differences in the RR intervals index increased in the pregnant group (pre-maneuver: 34.5±5.7; post-maneuver: 38.9±5.8; p=0,002) indicating an increase in the parasympathetic system for this population after the maneuver. In addition, there was an increase in the complexity values after the maneuver, suggested by the Shanon entropy for both groups, being the increase higher in the pregnant women. Regarding the indices evaluated during the respiratory sinus arrhythmia maneuver, both groups presented expiration/inspiration ratio values greater than 1, which suggests integrity of the autonomic nervous system.CONCLUSIONS: There was an improvement in the regulation of the autonomic nervous system after the respiratory maneuver for pregnant women, suggesting that the slow and deep breathing pattern may increase vagal modulation and confer a cardioprotective effect, besides causing relaxation and a sense of well-being.
Research infrastructure, networks of science and regional development - the case of Oskarshamn
Authors: Snickars Folke Valfrid , Karlsson Ulf 
Published: October 2017

Final deposit of nuclear waste is a a global engineering challenge. The Swedish nuclear industry has spent more than thirty years in investigating the best sites and technologies for the final storage of nuclear waste. Universities have been involved as experts in this massive R&D activity. The result has been a well-documented body of knowledge for decision support. At the same time global research infrastructure networks have been developed. More than 140 PhD theses have been produced as one of the outputs. Eleven of these PhD holders are now full professors. Based on earlier work on research infrastructures Lund, Hamburg, and Kiruna, see for instance Snickars and Falck (2015), we have addressed the question of the role of a technical research infrastructure for the development of fields of engineering and natural science at the same time generating regional development. It has provided an opportunity to empirically study the use of research infrastructure in a specialized technology field. At the same time the study investigates a municipality’s efforts to specialize in research without a university in the vicinity. Do networks of cooperation differ between research groups and research infrastructures? Can a region build its smart specialization on research infrastructure? Can research equipment once belonging to a company be transformed to a public research infrastructure asset? Our results indicate that research infrastructures as the ones in Oskarshamn are powerful creators of international research networks. It is possible although somewhat difficult in view of scattered systems for data provision to assess their academic and societal impacts. Engineering research has its own networks of university-industry and industry-university interaction where value is cogenerated dynamically. In the study we have come some way towards empirically analyzing the networks of research cooperation between industry and university using methods of infrastructure theory and network analysis.
