Beliefs of yoga practitioners about yoga as a science
Authors: Tiwari Subodh , Telles Shirley , Goel Abhishek , Verma Anita 
Published: September 2014

Context:
The ancient Indian science of yoga is both an experiential science as well as a set of practices which are very suitable to be evaluated using conventional research methods. Despite the rapidly growing scientific literature on the effects of yoga and its applications, there has been no survey carried out to determine whether yoga practitioners are themselves aware of this research.

Aims:
The current study aimed at conducting a survey to document the beliefs about yoga as a science among its practitioners.

Methods:
The current survey was conducted chiefly on graduate students of Mumbai University as well as some of the staff. The study surveyed 972 respondents (with an average age of 26 years and a male-female ratio of 54.8:45.2), out of which 54.7 percent practiced yoga.

Results:
Among the yoga practitioners, 66.1 percent were aware of scientific research on yoga and 57.6 percent associated yoga with scientific research. Interestingly, 60.4 percent of yoga users were keen to have online yoga courses. Among those who did not practice yoga (45.3 percent), 45.0 percent had no intention of starting to practice yoga.

Conclusion:
The current survey, which is the first documentation of its type in India, showed interesting trends in beliefs about yoga as a scientific discipline among a predominantly young, educated, and urban Indian sample.
Ergonomic Design of a Computer Mouse for Clients With Wrist Splints
Authors: Liu Chien-Hsiou , Fan Shih-Chen 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We explored effects of cutaneous feedback and hump position on efficiency and comfort in mouse use with a splint. We also analyzed the relationship between anthropometric measurements (width of hand and length of hand, palm, and index) and the task performance.
METHOD. Thirty participants performed a computer task with two forms of mice (front hump and rear hump) and two kinds of wrist splints (dorsal and volar). Movement time and satisfaction scores were recorded.
RESULTS. No interaction effect (Hump Position × Splint Type) was found on movement time. Movement time was shorter for rear-hump mouse users than for front-hump mouse users. Movement time was also shorter for wearers of dorsal wrist splints than for wearers of volar wrist splints. Limited differences existed in the satisfaction scores. Participants with a longer index finger had shorter movement time.
CONCLUSION. Both dorsal wrist splints and rear-hump mice are recommended. Length of index finger positively correlated with task performance.

Published: September 2014

AbstractOBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) program on patient self-care outcomes.METHOD. We used a retrospective cohort design. Data were obtained from the electronic medical records of 1,292 patients receiving inpatient rehabilitation services. Self-care scores from the FIM™ for patients who participated in rehabilitation before implementation of an SPHM program were compared with the scores of patients who participated after implementation of the program.RESULTS. Patients who received inpatient rehabilitation services with an SPHM program were as likely to achieve at least modified independence in self-care as those who received inpatient rehabilitation services without an SPHM program.CONCLUSION. SPHM programs may not affect self-care performance in adults receiving inpatient rehabilitation services. However, more work must be done to define specific and effective methods for integrating patient handling technologies into occupational therapy practice.

Published: September 2014

Abstract
Difficulty in driving after deployment has emerged as an impediment for servicemembers returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF–OEF). This study explored postdeployment driving stress and related occupational limitations using two self-report instruments: the Driver’s Stress Profile and the Driving and Occupational Limitations questionnaire. Data gathered from 103 OIF–OEF returnees confirmed that driving and related occupational issues occur postdeployment. Significant low to moderate correlations were found between postdeployment driving stress and limitations in community mobility, leisure, and social participation. The returnees who drove off base more frequently during deployment showed significantly higher levels of postdeployment driving stress than the returnees who drove off base less frequently. Moreover, the returnees who demonstrated higher levels of driving stress and occupational limitations required more time to resume normal driving postdeployment. Findings raise awareness about the need to design effective driver rehabilitation and community reintegration programs for this population.
Occupational Therapy Use by Older Adults With Cancer
Authors: Pergolotti Mackenzi , Cutchin Malcolm P. , Weinberger Morris , Meyer Anne-Marie 
Published: September 2014

AbstractOccupational therapy may significantly improve cancer survivors’ ability to participate in activities, thereby improving quality of life. Little is known, however, about the use of occupational therapy services by adults with cancer. The objective of this study was to understand what shapes patterns of occupational therapy use to help improve service delivery. We examined older (age &gt;65 yr) adults diagnosed with breast, prostate, lung, or melanoma (skin) cancer between 2004 and 2007 (N = 27,131) using North Carolina Central Cancer Registry data linked to Medicare billing claims. Survivors who used occupational therapy within 1 yr before their cancer diagnosis were more likely to use occupational therapy after diagnosis but also experienced the highest levels of comorbidities. Survivors with Stage 4 cancers or lung cancer were less likely to use occupational therapy. These findings suggest possible disparities in utilization of occupational therapy by older adults with cancer.
Development of an Adult Sensory Processing Scale (ASPS)

Published: September 2014

Abstract
This article describes the development of the Adult Sensory Processing Scale (ASPS), a sensory processing questionnaire for adults. The ASPS measures self-reported responses to input from distinct sensory systems and is intended to be sensitive to individual differences in the adult population. ASPS construction involved two phases: item development and instrument construction. During item development, content validity of 71 items was assessed by means of expert ratings. During instrument construction, items were evaluated using data from an online survey of 491 adults. Exploratory factor analysis and Rasch analysis yielded an optimal solution of eight factors representing vestibular overresponsiveness, auditory overresponsiveness, visual overresponsiveness, social tactile overresponsiveness, proprioceptive seeking, general underresponsiveness, vestibular–proprioceptive underresponsiveness affecting postural control, and vestibular overresponsiveness–intolerance to movement. The final ASPS contains 39 items and demonstrates acceptable internal consistency, strong content validity, and adequate construct validity.
Revisitando a "Ária (Cantilena)" da Bachianas Brasileiras n. 5(1938) de Villa-Lobos
Authors: Dudeque Norton 
Published: September 2014

Este artigo discute a contextualização e a música da Ária (Cantilena) da Bachianas Brasileiras n. 5 de Heitor Villa-Lobos. A série das Bachianas Brasileiras geralmente é vista como uma referência à música de Johann Sebastian Bach. Apesar das tentativas de ilustrar de maneira objetiva como estas referências são utilizadas pelo compositor, poucos têm obtido sucesso neste objetivo. O autor do presente texto toma a idéia de desdobramento motívico elaborada por Arnold Schoenberg como uma técnica analítica que pode elucidar o uso de uma das várias formas que Villa-Lobos utiliza para referenciar a música de Bach.

Nepomuceno e a gênese da canção de câmara brasileira (1a. parte)
Authors: Coelho de Souza Rodolfo 
Published: September 2014

Este artigo busca avaliar a produção vocal camerística de Nepomuceno, revendo sua posição na história da música brasileira, refutando a hipótese de seu papel como fundador e redimensionando seu projeto como sendo o de escrever canções, em português ou em línguas estrangeiras, nos moldes do Lied alemão e da Mélodie francesa, como gêneros exemplares do romantismo cosmopolita. Demonstra-se a seguir que Nepomuceno adere ao modelo de imitação dos grandes mestres, recomendado pela Academia de Belas Artes de seu tempo, tomando a obra de Brahms como modelo. Essa influência é vista no uso de alternância de texturas como artifício para definição da forma e no emprego distintivo de dois modos estilísticos, Volkslied e Kunstlied, que Nepomuceno empresta de Brahms para contrastar canções emparelhadas duas a duas em seus opus. Estuda-se também como a questão do uso do folclore foi inflada pela musicologia modernista quando, na verdade, Nepomuceno a utiliza como tópicos estilísticos carregados de significados semânticos para a realização do ideal do Lied como de uma perfeita simbiose entre poesia e música.
Matizes do Jazz na música dominicana
Authors: Austerlitz Paul , Neder Alvaro 
Published: September 2014

Este artigo considera a influência do jazz sobre a música da República Dominicana. A dupla significação do jazz como, de um lado, uma forma genericamente estadunidense, e, de outro, uma forma especificamente afro-americana, promove contradições em sua assimilação dominicana. Embora o jazz tenha frequentemente permanecido fora da corrente dominante nos Estados Unidos, representa conexões com os EUA hegemônicos para alguns dominicanos, que o vêem como um marcador cosmopolita de prestígio social. Entretanto, inovadores dominicanos como o saxofonista Tavito Vásquez criaram brilhantes híbridos de jazz e merengue que afirmam as bases partilhadas da música de influência africana nos EUA e na República Dominicana.

Published: September 2014

El impacto ambiental, económico y financiero del desarrollo de nuevos productos son indicadores de éxito. Evaluar e indicar estos impactos pueden determinar los límites de recomendación del uso de ese nuevo producto. La reutilización de materiales es una manera de promover la sostenibilidad ambiental y aumentar el ciclo de vida del producto. La paletización, una forma de unitización, proporciona economías de escala en la manipulación de materiales y reduce los costos a lo largo de la cadena de abastecimiento. En este contexto, a partir de un estudio de caso, se comparó el Pallet especial con dimensiones de 1,2 x 1,2 m con el nuevo producto, Pallet, equipado con extensor para mantener las mismas dimensiones. Esta comparación tiene por objeto evaluar el impacto logístico y económico del uso de extensores de Pallets en la unitización de bolsas de papel. Se determinó que la compañía estudio de caso del sector de embalaje en el segmento de bolsas industriales, donde después de la distancia límite de 459 kilómetros extensores de Pallets son económicamente deseables. Por lo tanto, se concluye que el uso de Pallets con extensor después de esa distancia promueve la reducción de costos, así como la sostenibilidad del medio ambiente.

Authors: Fuxman Leonora , Elifoglu I. Hilmi , Chao Chiang-nan , Li Tiger 
Published: September 2014

Digital advertising, on internet and mobile gadgets, has outpaced the traditional media advertising and for the first time in 2013 generated more advertising spending than television advertising. Digital advertising is believed to be an effective way to better target potential customers in the global market. Evidence shows that businesses have increasingly switched their advertising focus from traditional to digital media. This research uses an empirical study that explores the effectiveness of digital advertising vs. traditional media advertising along several mass marketing dimensions. The results reveal that while traditional media advertising still holds its ground, digital advertising offers more effectiveness for promoting companies’ products. The results suggest that marketers need to use more digital advertising in order to better target their customers, particularly the young consumers.
De binding van werkgevers aan collectieve arbeidsovereenkomsten
Authors: Dorssemont F. 
Published: September 2014

De dekkingsgraad (vertaling van
coverage) van cao's wordt gedefinieerd als de verhouding van het aantal werknemers
dat gebonden is aan een cao tot het geheel van de werkende bevolking. In deze bijdrage beperk ik me
tot een analyse van de juridische factoren die de binding van werkgevers bevorderen dan wel bemoeilijken.
De volgende nationale rechtsordes worden in het onderzoek op systematische wijze betrokken: België,
Nederland, Italië, Frankrijk en Duitsland. De problematiek van de binding aan (Europese) cao's
wordt eveneens onderzocht binnen de rechtsorde van de Europese Unie.
Het klassieke scenario van cao-binding (door een cao te sluiten dan wel door lidmaatschap van
een ondertekenende werkgeversorganisaties) kan worden bevorderd door een verplichting voor werkgevers
in te bouwen om tot onderhandelingen over te gaan. Omgekeerd kan de toegang tot de onderhandelingstafel
worden belemmerd door aan werkgeversorganisaties representativiteitseisen op te leggen. Voor het klassieke
bindingsscenario bestaan in een aantal nationale rechtsordes enkele ‘alternatieven’.
Deze alternatieven leiden ertoe dat een werkgever die noch aan de onderhandelingen heeft deelgenomen,
noch aangesloten is bij een onderhandelende organisatie alsnog verplicht wordt bepaalde cao-bepalingen
toe te passen. De vraag of een gebondenheid (aan een sectorale of intersectorale cao) die niet op de
wilsuiting van de werkgever berust
per se strijdig is met de (negatieve) vakverenigingsvrijheid, komt aan bod. In de
slotbeschouwingen wordt onderzocht welke 'alternatieven' dienstig kunnen zijn om de dekkingsgraad op
te voeren.
Cuando es difícil que la teoría y la realidad anden a la una: a propósito de la conferencia de J. Habraken, "Thematic Design: skills needed to serve a living environment"
Authors: Solà-Morales Serra Clara de 
Published: September 2014

La publicación de Supports and Albernative to Mass housing en 19621 supuso una declaración de intenciones, y un episodio relevante en la discusión sobre la producción de vivienda a gran escala. Abordada por el movimiento moderno y discutida en los congresos del CIAM., la temática de la producción en masa de la vivienda colectiva encontraba en los primeros años 60 con John Habraken un equilibrio entre la producción industrializada, y un espacio de intervención en dicho proceso para el usuario.
La teoría de Habraken apuesta por la diferenciación entre lo que él llama el Support y en Infill, donde el Support se define como una estructura base que permite la inserción de las unidades habitacionales, los Infills, elementos prefabricados montados en el lugar de concordancia con las necesidades individuales y como finalización de un proceso de decisión del usuario. Sin embargo la teoría de Habraken es también una clara discusión sobre el rol del arquitecto, y su participación en el mundo de la industria y la producción.
La concreción de dicha teoría es sistematizada a través del Design Method a mediados de los 60, por el equipo de Stichting Architecten Research (SAR), institución dirigida por el propio Habraken, cuyo fin era desarrollar su teoría y tender puentes con la industria de la producción de la vivienda. Los Open Building, como se denominan dichos sistemas habitacionales, son el resultado de la aplicación con diferente grado de rigor del método y la incorporación en diversos grados de la producción industrializada.
La experiencia de los Open Building demuestra que la flexibilidad real que otorgan dichos sistemas a lo largo de la vida útil del Support, no es mucha más que las que ofrecen actualmente los sistemas de partición en seco, y otras tecnologías de la construcción. Por lo tanto, si uno considera el hecho de que la producción masiva real de vivienda tiene lugar en este momento en los países en vías de desarrollo, uno debería preguntarse si no es ociosa la discusión tipológica que ofrecen los Open Buildings, y las aplicaciones a la realidad existentes de la teoría de los Support and Infills. O por si lo contrario, no sería más pertinente releer la teoría de Habraken para recuperar la lectura que ofrece entre lo particular y lo colectivo, y acercarla a los sistemas de producción inherentes en las sociedades que demandan la producción de vivienda.
A revision of John Habraken’s Support and Infill theory takes
us to celebrate his conceptual frame to understand housing,
dissociating the individual unit from the overall structure.
However, the text discusses if the current shortage of housing
in emerging countries should force a turn in the debate,
and analyze the incorporation of diverse production systems
(progressive development, for example) rather than concentrate
in a typological discussion.
Restauración y rehabilitación del recinto de carreras del Hipódromo de la Zarzuela
Authors: Junquera Jerónimo 
Published: September 2014

En los años 30, mientas Madrid se enfrenta al proceso de redefinición de su crecimiento, el Gabinete Técnico de Accesos y Extrarradio de Madrid convoca el concurso para la construcción del nuevo Hipódromo.
Se elige el proyecto de Arniches, Domínguez y Torroja, una propuesta de reducida escala, bien asentada en la topografía del terreno, funcionalmente casi perfecta y formalmente apoyada en el lenguaje neoregionalista al uso. Entre la propuesta del concurso y la obra inaugurada en 1934 existen grandes diferencias no documentadas.
Cuando en 2003 el estudio Junqueras Arquitectos gana el concurso para la rehabilitación del Hipódromo y su reconversión en un equipamiento para el s. XXI, comienza una labor de investigación sobre el proyecto que no pudo ser, en constante diálogo con unos autores que ya no existen y cuyas decisiones, si hoy pudieran producirse, se han de adivinar.
In the 30s while Madrid faces the process of redefining its
growth, the Gabinete Técnico de Accesos y Extrarradio de
Madrid announces the tender for the construction of the new
Hippodrome.
The project by Arniches, Dominguez and Torroja is selected,
being a small-scale proposal, well established in the topography,
almost perfect functionally and formally, and relied on the
neo-regionalist language currently in use. Between the proposal
and the executed work, opened in 1934, there are major
undocumented differences.
In 2003 Junqueras Architects wins the competition for the rehabilitation
of the Hippodrome and its conversion into a facility
for the XXIst century. It is the beginning of a research work on
the project that could be, in constant dialogue with the authors
that no longer exist and whose decisions, if today might arise,
have to be guessed.
