Epidemiology of non‐typhoid Salmonella infection in the Australian Capital Territory over a 10‐year period
Authors: Wilson Heather L. , Kennedy Karina J. , Moffatt Cameron R. M. 
Published: October 2017

AbstractAimTo describe the epidemiology of non‐typhoid Salmonella (NTS) infection in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), including factors associated with hospitalisation.MethodsThis was a retrospective descriptive and observational study of culture‐confirmed NTS infections using data collected from ACT public health, public pathology and hospital services in the period 2003–2012. Outcome measures include incidence and NTS serotype for total reported and hospitalised cases and focus of infection, complications and antibiotic susceptibility for hospitalised cases.ResultsIn total, 1469 cases of NTS infection were reported, with the crude annual incidence increasing from 24.4 to 61.3 cases per 100 000 population; 14% were hospitalised, representing an incidence of 5.9 hospitalisations per 100 000 population, without significant change over time. Hospitalisation incidence peaked at the extremes of age. Comorbid disease and age ≥ 80 years were associated with complications during hospitalisation. Salmonella serotype Typhimurium was the most common serotype, accounting for 64% of NTS. Independent risk factors for invasive disease included non‐S. Typhimurium serotype (aRR 5.46, 95%CI 1.69–17.65 P = 0.005), ischaemic heart disease (aRR 4.18, 95%CI 1.20–14.60 P = 0.025) and haematological malignancy (aRR 6.93, 95%CI 2.54–18.94 P < 0.001). Among hospitalised patients, resistance to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole and quinolones was 9.9%, 0%, 4.4% and 2.5% respectively.ConclusionsNTS notifications in the ACT have increased over time, with outbreaks of food‐borne disease contributing to this increase. Crude age‐specific incidence is highest in the very young, while rates of hospitalisation are highest in the elderly. Comorbid disease and infection with a non‐S. Typhimurium serotype were associated with complicated NTS disease course. Antimicrobial resistance in NTS is low and has not increased over time.
Singing through winter nights: Seasonal and diel occurrence of humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) calls in and around the Gully MPA, offshore eastern Canada

AbstractHumpback whale use of areas off eastern Canada is poorly understood, a knowledge gap that could impact future conservation efforts. We describe the acoustic occurrence of humpback whales in and around the Gully Marine Protected Area (MPA), an eastern Scotian Shelf submarine canyon. Near‐continuous acoustic recordings sampling at 16 kHz were collected from the MPA and nearby slope areas from October 2012 to September 2014 using near‐bottom recorders. In an offshore region where humpbacks were thought to be rare, we observed calls from October to June with a peak in song and nonsong calls in December and January. This suggests that some individuals occur in Canadian waters in winter and the Gully region may be a North Atlantic humpback whale migratory corridor. Calls were predominantly songs indicating potential mating activities. Song and nonsong calls occurred more at sunset and during hours of darkness than during daylight. This study improves our understanding of the seasonal occurrence of humpback whales on the Scotian Slope and, more specifically, their use of an offshore protected area.
U-duality in three and four dimensions
Authors: Malek Emanuel 
Published: October 2017

Using generalised geometry we study the action of U-duality acting in three and four dimensions on the bosonic fields of 11-dimensional supergravity. We compare the U-duality symmetry with the T-duality symmetry of double field theory and see how the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] U-duality groups reduce to the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] T-duality symmetry groups of the type IIA theory. As examples we dualise M2-branes, both black and extreme. We find that uncharged black M2-branes become charged under U-duality, generalising the Harrison transformation, while extreme M2-branes will become new extreme M2-branes. The resulting tension and charges are quantised appropriately if we use the discrete U-duality group [Formula: see text].
A comparison of adipose tissue interstitial glucose and venous blood glucose during postprandial resistance exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes
Authors: Heden Timothy D. , Liu Ying , Kanaley Jill A. 
Published: October 2017

Resistance exercise during the postprandial period lowers venous glucose concentrations in individuals with type 2 diabetes, but the impact of resistance exercise on interstitial glucose concentrations is not well understood. The objective of this study was to compare subcutaneous adipose tissue interstitial glucose and venous blood glucose concentrations during postprandial resistance exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes. Eleven individuals completed two trials in a random order including a no-exercise (NoEx) and a postprandial resistance exercise trial (M-Ex). During the trials, the individuals consumed a meal and either remained sedentary (NoEx) or performed a session of resistance training beginning 45 min after the meal (M-Ex) while interstitial and venous glucose concentrations were simultaneously measured. Venous glucose during exercise was ~11% lower ( P = 0.05) during M-Ex (8.0 ± 0.5 mmol/l) compared with NoEx (9.0 ± 0.5 mmol/l) whereas interstitial glucose during M-Ex (10.4 ± 0.7 mmol/l) was not different compared with interstitial glucose during NoEx (10.1 ± 0.7 mmol/l). Bland-Altman plots revealed that the difference (bias) between interstitial and venous glucose during exercise was more than twofold greater during M-Ex (2.36 ± 2.07 mmol/l) compared with NoEx (1.11 ± 1.69 mmol/l). The mean (33.8 ± 6.2 mmol/l) and median (34.7 ± 6.3 mmol/l) absolute relative difference during exercise were 73% and 78% greater compared with the mean (19.5 ± 4.1 mmol/l) and median (19.5 ± 4.1 mmol/l) absolute relative difference during NoEx ( P = 0.04). Resistance exercise has unequal effects on glucose concentrations within different bodily compartments as exercise reduced venous glucose concentrations but not adipose tissue interstitial glucose concentrations in the abdominal region in individuals with type 2 diabetes. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study to compare subcutaneous adipose tissue interstitial glucose concentrations and venous blood glucose concentrations during postprandial resistance exercise in individuals with type 2 diabetes. We find that resistance exercise effectively reduces systemic venous blood glucose concentrations but not subcutaneous adipose tissue interstitial glucose concentrations in the abdominal region. Resistance exercise has differential effects on glucose concentrations depending on its compartmentalization within the body.
Teaching provision for old age psychiatry in medical schools in the UK and Ireland: a survey
Authors: Bennett Sophia , Ilderton Poppy , O'Brien John T. , Taylor John-Paul , Teodorczuk Andrew 
Published: October 2017

Aims and methodThis work builds on a survey first done in 1999 to understand how old age psychiatry teaching is embedded in undergraduate medical schools in the UK and Ireland and the influence of academic old age psychiatrists on teaching processes. We invited deans of 31 medical schools in the UK and Ireland in 2015 to complete an online survey to reassess the situation 16 years later.ResultsResponse rate was 74%. As found in the original survey, there was variation across medical schools in how old age psychiatry is taught. Half of schools stated there was not enough space in the curriculum dedicated to old age psychiatry, and not all medical school curricula offered a clinical attachment. Medical schools that involved academic old age psychiatrists in teaching (59%) showed a greater diversity of teaching methods.Clinical implicationsThere is a need to recognise the importance of old age psychiatry teaching, with the consensus of opinion continuing to be that more curriculum space needs to be given to old age psychiatry. To achieve this we advocate increasing the number of old age psychiatrists with teaching roles, as relying on academics to teach and lead on curriculum development is challenging given their greater research pressures.
When Online Reviews Meet Sales Volume Information: Is More or Accurate Information Always Better?
Authors: Liu Yang , Feng Juan , Liao Xiuwu 
Published: October 2017

This paper studies how two types of market-generated information, namely, online reviews and past sales volume information, jointly affect consumer purchase decisions as well as firms’ pricing strategies. We build a two-period duopoly model in a market with herding consumers who have different preferences and are unsure of the quality difference between products. In addition, a firm’s sales volume is uncertain because of the existence of “irregular” consumers. We find that the impacts of online reviews and sales volume information on firms’ profits are mutually enhancing. The impact of such market-generated information depends on both product characteristics (the level of consumers’ misfit for the nonpreferred product) and how consumers a priori perceive the quality difference between the products. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that more/accurate information is beneficial to high-quality firms, as well as consumers, we find that such information can be detrimental to firms, as firms adjust prices to induce, or react to, favorable market-generated information. Accordingly, consumers may not benefit from such market-generated information if the gain from less uncertainty cannot offset the loss from higher product prices. Such findings offer guidelines for firms to design better pricing strategies, as well as information policies, such as whether or not to promote more informative reviews.

Is it a revolution or a coup? Scandinavian media representations of the ousting of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy
Authors: Abdelmoez Joel W. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In the summer of 2013, millions of Egyptians returned to Tahrir square in Cairo to demand the resignation of the country’s first democratically elected president. This article examines the two key terms mainly used to describe the ousting of President Mohamed Morsy, ‘coup’ and ‘revolution’, and how these terms can be understood as arguments for two different interpretations of the event. Particular focus is given to the press corps of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which reveals a discrepancy between the interpretation of Scandinavian online press and the Egyptian majority, meaning that the Scandinavian press corps is telling a story that is not recognized by those it is about. While many media producers speak of a severe polarization, it is found that the divide is actually small in number, but grows over time, raising questions about journalistic practice and media ethics. It is concluded that Scandinavian reporting on the Middle East needs to be seriously evaluated and reformed in order to improve its credibility.
Language use in Le Monde’s print and online ‘news at a glance’: A potential shift in news media role
Authors: Le Elisabeth 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Democracy and media are concepts that go hand in hand. While numerous debates pinpoint to the continuous need to reinforce democracy, financial difficulties keep plaguing western media. In their strategies for news presentations, print and online newspapers may reflect public spheres linked to various types of democracy; this may have an impact on their ability to attract readers. This article explores the print and online ‘news at a glance’ of the French quality daily, Le Monde (LM), through a frame and heteroglossia analysis. This analysis of language use reveals how the introduction of a new technological support has been accompanied by a change towards a more ‘open’ and less authority-prone conception of media function in society, a change that contributes to a shift from an active monitorial to a facilitative news media role.
All about Yves: Saint Laurent and the Warhol effect
Authors: Rees-Roberts Nick 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The illustrious careers of Yves Saint Laurent and Andy Warhol intersect in revealing ways: Warhol started out as a graphic artist working in fashion advertising, celebrated for his illustrations and department store windows, but longed to be recognized as a famous artist; Saint Laurent, who so admired literature, painting and opera, felt his talent was squandered on the business of fashion and coveted the prestige of the fine arts. But while the YSL brand invested heavily in the artistic persona of the couturier as rooted in a form of decadent nostalgia, Warhol’s persona simply represented the present like no other personality of the period, casting his critical gaze over the workings of mass-media culture, actively shaping his own legend as the recorder of surfaces. With the rise in the 1960s of Saint Laurent’s popular ready-to-wear line and subsequent global licencing agreements, Pop art overlapped with consumer fashion, sharing similar preoccupations such as serial repetition and mass diffusion. This article investigates the impact of Warhol’s wide-ranging enquiry into media representation on the career, image and persona of one of France’s most illustrious and glamorous designers of the later twentieth century. It does this by drawing on a number of contemporary film dramatizations and documentary portraits of Saint Laurent’s life including the recent biopics Yves Saint Laurent (Lespert, 2014) and Saint Laurent (Bonello, 2014), both of which read the subject through the lens of celebrity culture.

Dear producers and consumers of knowledge,
I would like to share the happiness of being with you again with 7th Volume 4th Issue of Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction (PEGEGOG). I hope you could find time to have a rest after your busy schedule. Initially, I want to thank you for the increasing interest for our journal.
PEGEGOG has been indexed in SCOPUS since July 17, 2017. I'm pleased to inform you in this issue that the journal's h-index rose to 11. However, our aim is always to have much higher scores. Therefore, we invite you to share studies comprehensive, built on strong theoretical basis, innovative and bringing a vision on various fields of educational sciences increasing the number of readers.
There has been 48 articles sent for publication to our journal. This is good news for our journal and country. On the other hand, I have to indicate that there were critical problems in terms of format within these articles as stated in the previous issue. First of all, unfortunately we had to reject some articles as in many of them there were texts very similar to ones in different articles. At first step, we scan all articles in i-Thenticate program to determine the exact quotations from other resources. After this scan, we reject the articles detected to have exact quotations at a high rate without initiating peer-review process. Apart from that, we also send back the articles not written in an academic format not to disturb our reviewers unnecessarily.
One of the problems with the articles submitted to our journal and we had to reject was about data analysis. The data is the raw information collected from related resources through research aims. These should be analyzed in parallel with these aims. It is necessary to analyze them using statistics for quantitative data and methods such as content analysis or descriptive analysis for qualitative data. Analysis provides the data being transformed into findings and make sense. Especially, in some of document analysis and some qualitative studies, it is seen that data are presented as findings. In some others, data are presented being only described. It is essential that the studies are formed in an article format obeying the rules by the journal and presented for publication afterwards.
As always, we present the six articles got through peer-review process and given DOI number to you dear producers and consumers of knowledge. I wish these studies conducted in various fields of educational sciences will be useful and contribute to theoretical knowledge within the field. Hope to meet within the next issue.
Sincerely yours,
Pharmacological activities of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol: antioxidant, cytotoxic and anti-leishmanial studies

Published: October 2017

The present study reports the antioxidant, cytotoxic and anti-leishmanial activities of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol. Both the compounds are naturally present in cinnamon and bay leaf. Eugenol is abundantly present in clove. The antioxidant potential was measured in terms of reducing power (FRAP assay), nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging ability and anti-lipid peroxidative activities. MTT assay was used to evaluate the effect of test compounds on cell viability of prostate cancer cell line (PC-3) as well as for the assessment of in vitro growth inhibition of promastigotes as a measure of anti-leishmanial activity. Eugenol exhibited considerable NO radical scavenging (63%) and reducing abilities (FRAP value 127í—104 µM/mM) while cinnamaldehyde showed comparatively better protective efficacy against lipid peroxidation in rat brain and kidney homogenates (up to 40%). Cinnamaldehyde also displayed substantial cytotoxic activity (75%) against PC-3 cell line. Both the compounds exhibited moderate anti-leishmanial activity and IC50 values for eugenol and cinnamaldehyde were found to be 0.681 g/ml and 1.426g/ml, respectively. The study revealed that both the test compounds have noticeable antioxidant and cytotoxic activities.

Authors: Gupta K. , Pandey A. , Singh R. P. 
Published: October 2017

TiO2 is one of the most studied material due to its unique properties like chemical stability, non toxicity and cost effectiveness. Nano-sized TiO2 has been prepared by sol –gel method using titanium butoxide as precursor. X- ray diffraction analysis was used to characterize the phase and crystal size of the synthesized TiO2 particles. It was found that sizes of the particles ranged from 6 to 12 nanometre. FT-IR spectrum was also recorded for the TiO2 particles to detect the remaining organic residue .Heavy metals like Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni etc are considered major environmental contaminant in water due to their non biodegradable nature and adverse health effect in living beings. In this work the adsorption behavior of heavy metals towards nano-sized TiO2 was investigated.
Prevalence of COMT Val158Met polymorphism in Eastern UP population
Authors: Kumar P. , Yadav U. , Rai V. 
Published: October 2017

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is an abundant S-adenosylmethionine (SAM-)-dependent methyltransferase that methylates catechol compounds, including catecholamines and catecholestrogens.COMT gene located at chromosome 22q11.2 contains a functional polymorphism at codon 158(Val158Met), which has been related to psychiatric diseases and different types of cancer. COMT might affect tHcy levels because as a by-product it converts SAM to S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), which is reversibly converted to homocysteine. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of COMT Val158Met polymorphism in scheduled caste (SC) population of Jaunpur district. Total 100 healthy unrelated subjects belonging to SC, between the age group of 18 to70 years were randomly selected for the present study. 3 ml blood samples were collected from each subject. The inclusion criteria of subjects for present study are that they should be domicile of Uttar Pradesh, and healthy without any individual/ family history of genetic or metabolic disorders. COMT Val158Met polymorphism analysis was done by PCR-RFLP method. The Val/Val genotype was found in 48 subjects, Val/Met in 40 subjects and Met/Met genotype in 12 subjects. Genotype frequencies of Val/Val, Val/Met and Met/Met were 0.48, 0.40 and 0.12 respectively. The allele frequency of Val allele was found to be 0.68 and Met allele frequency was 0.32.
