What Becomes of the Avant-Guarded? New Music as Subculture
Authors: Iddon Martin 
Published: December 2014

In a short ‘vox pop,’ written forCircuitin 2010, on the subject of the ‘future’ of new music, I proposed that new music — or the version of it tightly intertwined with what was once thought of as the international avant-garde, at any rate — might today be better thought of as a sort of subculture, akin to the spectacular subcultures of goth and punk, but radically different in that they developed from the ‘grassroots,’ as it were, while new music comes from a position of extreme cultural privilege, which is to say it has access, even now, to modes of funding and infrastructure subcultures ‘proper’ never have. This essay develops this line of enquiry, outlining theories of subculture and post-subculture — drawing on ‘classic’ and more recent research, from Hebdige and Cohen to Hodkinson, Maffesoli, and Thornton — before presenting the, here more detailed, case that new music represents a sort of subculture, before making some tentative proposals regarding what sort of subculture it is and what this might mean for contemporary understandings of new music and what it is for.
Trajectoire d’une connexion : Romitelli/Montréal
Authors: McKinley Maxime 
Published: December 2014

Cette enquête, constituée de témoignages de Marie-Annick Béliveau, Julien Bilodeau, Sylvain Pohu et Lorraine Vaillancourt, avec la participation de Jean-François Laporte et Jimmie LeBlanc, creuse les liens entre Fausto Romitelli et la scène montréalaise de musique nouvelle. Cette connexion suit une trajectoire commençant à Royaumont, en 1997, où Marie-Annick Béliveau et le Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (nem), sous la direction de Lorraine Vaillancourt, étaient invités à créer Lost, une oeuvre charnière dans le catalogue du compositeur. Romitelli et Vaillancourt se sont retrouvés à Lyon, en 2004, quelques mois avant qu’elle dirige l’Orchestre philharmonique de Nice dans Audiodrome – Dead City Radio, et reprenne Lost à Montréal en 2005. À Royaumont et ailleurs, Romitelli a croisé au début des années 2000 des compositeurs québécois qu’il appréciait, dont Jean-François Laporte et Julien Bilodeau. En 2009, la société Codes d’accès a produit la création nord-américaine de An Index of Metals, suivie en 2012 de la création montréalaise du cycle Professor Bad Trip. Les témoignages recueillis sur ces divers liens mènent à une conclusion sur la force avec laquelle l’oeuvre de Romitelli résout les apories de tensions paradoxales familières : « populaire versus savant », « acoustique versus électroacoustique », « consonance versus dissonance », mais aussi « nouvelles versus anciennes générations », et « centres internationaux versus périphéries ».

BackgroundPodiatric medical abnormalities are highly prevalent, yet few random population studies exist that determine the presence of pathologic abnormalities in the feet, despite their importance. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of podiatric medical abnormalities in a random sample population 40 years or older.MethodsAn observational study was conducted of a random sample population (n = 1,002) located in A Coruña, Spain. Anthropometric variables, comorbidity (Charlson score), quality of life (36-item Short-Form Health Survey), and podiatric medical examination findings were studied. A descriptive analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed.ResultsThe most common diseases were claw toes (69.7%), hallux valgus (38%), and hallux extensus (15.8%), which increased with age and female sex. The most frequent metatarsal formula was index minus (40.9%), followed by index plus minus (35.0%). The most frequent digital formula was Egyptian foot (57.1%), followed by Greek foot (31.4%). In this study, although the presence of podiatric medical abnormalities reduced the probability of enjoying a better quality of life, it did not do so significantly. After taking into account age, sex, comorbidity, body mass index (BMI), and the presence of podiatric medical abnormalities, the variables with an independent effect that modified the physical component of quality of life were sex (female), comorbidity, and BMI.ConclusionsThere was a high prevalence of podiatric medical abnormalities, which increased with age and female sex. Comorbidity, BMI, and sex modified quality of life independently of podiatric medical abnormalities.

Published: December 2014

BackgroundJoint hypermobility syndrome/Ehlers-Danlos syndrome hypermobility type (JHS/EDS-HT) is a rheumatologic condition characterized by generalized joint hypermobility and musculoskeletal and nonmusculoskeletal findings related to congenital laxity of connective tissue. Because foot pain and other foot problems are reported to make daily life problematic to manage for individuals with JHS/EDS-HT, and thanks to the availability of modern technology, the aim of the present study was to quantitatively characterize foot type in individuals with JHS/EDS-HT during upright standing.MethodsForty feet of 20 women with JHS/EDS-HT (mean ± SD age, 36.03 ± 14.01 years) were assessed clinically and with a pressure-sensitive mat during upright standing.ResultsForty-five percent of feet had a high arch (pes cavus), 27.5% had a normal arch, and 27.5% had a low arch (pes planus or flatfoot).ConclusionsFrom a clinical perspective, the characterization of foot type in JHS/EDS-HT is important to identify, develop, and enhance the rehabilitative options. An understanding of the relationship between pes cavus and foot pain in these patients could, in fact, improve the clinical management of these patients.

Published: December 2014

BackgroundWe sought to demonstrate the healing efficacy of an antimicrobial hydrogel containing Oakin, an oak extract, to heal postoperative partial and total chemical matrixectomies.MethodsSixty participants were eligible for this open-label prospective study by having an ingrown toenail and a willingness to have the ingrown portion of the nail or the entire toenail permanently removed. All of the participants underwent a similar nail surgery, were provided a postoperative kit that included the study hydrogel, and received the same sheet of instructions for aftercare.ResultsFifty-four participants could be contacted for follow-up and final evaluation; 54% (n = 29) were men and 46% (n = 25) were women. Eighty-nine partial hallux nail avulsions with phenol matrixectomy were performed. The median ± SD time to healing was 7.00 ± 0.00 days for 80% of participants (n =  43) and 8.85 ± 4.15 days for 98% (n = 53). An analysis of variance showed that the proportion healed time trend is significant (F1,53 = 79.265; P &lt; .001).ConclusionsThe study hydrogel's ability to stop phenol's caustic activity is clinically beneficial in phenol matrixectomy aftercare. Providing each participant with a kit that included the same dressing supplies yielded consistent aftercare outcomes and 98% patient satisfaction (n = 53). The findings show that the Oakin-containing hydrogel was efficacious in healing phenol matrixectomies without the need for soaking. Furthermore, we suggest that the study hydrogel could also reduce healing times.

Authors: Christman Robert A. 
Published: December 2014

BackgroundThe normal radiographic anatomy of the foot and ankle, aside from my previous work, has been addressed only superficially or sparingly in the medical literature. This project correlates the detailed radiographic anatomy of the entire adult foot and ankle (two-dimensional) to osteology (three-dimensional).MethodsEach bone's position was determined after meticulous examination and correlation to an articulated skeleton relative to the image receptor and direction of the x-ray beam, with correlation to the radiograph for confirmation.ResultsImages of each foot and distal leg bone ("front” and “back” perspectives) are presented alongside a corresponding radiographic image for comparison. The normal gross and radiographic anatomy is correlated and described for each radiographic positioning technique.ConclusionsFoundational knowledge is provided that future researchers can use as a baseline (“normal”) and that students and practitioners can use for comparison when interpreting radiographs and distinguishing abnormal findings. The results of the original project, owing to its broad scope, have been divided into five parts: the lower leg, the greater tarsus, the lesser tarsus (the focus of this article), the metatarsals, and the phalanges.

Vulnerability Assessment of Rice Farming Provinces to Climate Change in Mekong River Delta in Vietnam
Authors: ANH HOANG HA 
Published: December 2014

Mekong River Delta is one of the eight agricultural production regions ofVietnam and is also the largest rice producing region which contributes morethan 50% of the country’s rice production. However, the projected changes in climate are considered to cause adverse impacts on the rice production ofprovinces within the delta. This study assessed the vulnerability of rice farmingprovinces in Mekong River Delta to provide information for decision-makers todesign appropriate adaptation and mitigation plan for the delta. The result ofthe vulnerability index showed that Ca Mau and Tra Vinh are most vulnerableto climate change. The coastal provinces are more vulnerable than provinceslocated farther inland. The results for the simulation model of paddy yield underdifferent scenarios showed decreases in the paddy yield in Mekong River Delta.Specifically, the yield of Spring paddy decreases 6%, Autumn paddy decreases2%, Winter paddy decreases 4% and Autumn-winter paddy decreases 4% in2050. From these results, the climate change adaptation and mitigation policiesin this delta is suggested to be focused reducing the exposure to sea level rise;upgrading the irrigation system for paddy planting since the coastal provinceshave high rate of rain-fed paddy, vulnerability can also be reduced by enhancingthe adaptive capacity of provinces through subsidizing and providing farmerswith new paddy varieties which are more tolerant to salinity.

Authors: SARINAS BRIAN GIL S. 
Published: December 2014

This study was conducted due to the dearth of studies on heavy metals atVilla Beach, Iloilo City. It aimed to determine the presence and quantities ofavailable heavy metals specifically cadmium, chromium and lead in the watercolumn (surface, middle and bottom). Water physiochemical parameters weredetermined such as pH, salinity and temperature. Five sampling areas wereidentified in the shores of Villa Beach. One liter was collected in each layerof each sampling area for a total of 15 seawater samples and was immediatelytransported to the College of Arts and Sciences-Analytical Service Laboratory ofthe University of the Philippines Visayas, Miag-ao, Iloilo for the quantificationof heavy metals through flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (FAAS). The pH values range from 7.513-7.933, 10.6-11.566 ppm for salinity and 27.5-31.233 °C for five sampling areas. Average dissolved chromium and lead werehighest at station four with 0.545 mg/L and 0.771 mg/L, respectively. Averagecadmium was highest at station one with 0.021 mg/L. The mean of Pb > Cr >Cd < Pb in the water column of the five sampling areas but was not significant. Available cadmium, chromium and lead exceeded the permissive value set by DENR AO No. 34 (1990). This study provides information and awareness tothe public about the present available heavy metals in Villa Beach, Iloilo City.

Distribution of Oncomelania quadrasi (Mollendorf 1895) and Prevalence of Infected Snails in Schistosomiasis Endemic Villages of Kapatagan and Lala, Lanao del Norte, Philippines
Authors: LEGASPINO REQUEL T. 
Published: December 2014

A survey of Oncomelania quadrasi was conducted from December 2012 toFebruary 2013 in the Municipalities of Kapatagan and Lala, Province of Lanaodel Norte, Philippines to geo-reference location of snail colony sites, estimatesnail population density and its environmental determinants, and determinethe prevalence S. japonicum-infected snails. Out of 29 total villages surveyed,25 (86.21%) were positive of infected snails. 104 (58%) of 180 water body sites(canals, streams, springs, swampy areas and wet grasslands) inspected had O.quadrasi snail colonies. Population density averages 9.9 ± 8.1SD to 11.7 ± 6.9SDsnails per colony. Multivariate canonical correspondence analysis revealed that acombination of large habitat size of 1000-3000 sq km (p < 0.002), 0-11 cm waterdepth (p < 0.002) and 30.7-32.8 C water temperature (p < 0.006) significantlyexplained high density of O. quadrasi populations. The mean prevalence ofinfected snails was 1.4 ± 0.8SD and 1.1 ± 0.3SD per colony in Kapatagan andLala, respectively. The prevalence of S. japonicum infection in O. quadrasi islow but indicates active transmission. The geographic position of the irrigationsystem seems to promote the spread of O. quadrasi in the vast network of waterbodies. Hence, multi-factorial and intensive control measures are necessary toprevent transmission of schistosoma infection.

Published: December 2014

AbstractIt is well established that large solar energetic particle (SEP) events affect ozone in the middle atmosphere through chemical reactions involving odd hydrogen (HOx) species. We analyze global middle atmospheric effects at local nighttime for two large SEP events during the intervals of 7–17 November 2004 and 20–30 August 2005. Properties of the SEP events and concomitant geomagnetic storms are discussed using in situ measurements. Temporal dynamics and latitudinal distribution of HOx and ozone densities inferred from measurements by the Aura/MLS (Microwave Limb Sounder) instrument are analyzed. We show statistically significant increases of nighttime hydroxyl (OH) density in the middle atmosphere up to 5°106 cm−3 in the latitude range from 70° down to 50° latitude in northern and to −40° latitude in southern hemispheres in connection with peaks in proton fluxes of >10 MeV energy range measured by GOES spacecraft. During the storm main phases, the nighttime OH density increases were observed around ±50° in southern and northern hemispheres in the altitude range of 65–80 km. There is a correspondence between averaged nighttime OH partial column density (in 0.005 to 0.1 hPa pressure range) in the polar latitudes and energetic proton (>10 MeV) fluxes. Corresponding statistically significant nighttime ozone destructions up to 45% are observed from 70° down to 60° latitude in the northern and southern hemispheres. The SEP impulsive phases correspond to onsets of ozone density depletions. Larger relative ozone destructions are observed in the northern hemisphere in November and in the southern hemisphere in August. Simultaneous measurements of ozone density by the Thermosphere‐Ionosphere‐Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics/Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (TIMED/SABER) instrument independently confirm the MLS results.

Published: December 2014

AbstractUnderstanding variability in the chlorophyll‐specific absorption of marine phytoplankton, aph*Chl (λ), is essential for primary production modelling, calculation of underwater light field characteristics, and development of algorithms for remote sensing of chlorophyll concentrations. Previous field and laboratory studies have demonstrated significant apparent variability in aph*Chl (λ) for natural samples and algal cultures. However, the potential impact of measurement uncertainties on derived values of aph*Chl (λ) has received insufficient study. This study presents an analysis of measurement uncertainties for a data set collected in the Ligurian Sea in Spring and assesses the impact on estimates of aph*Chl (λ). It is found that a large proportion of apparent variability in this set of aph*Chl (λ) can be attributed to measurement errors. Application of the same analysis to the global NOMAD data set suggests that a significant fraction of variability in aph*Chl (λ) may also be due to measurement errors.
Wind forcing controls on river plume spreading on a tropical continental shelf

Published: December 2014

AbstractThe Berau Continental Shelf is located close to the Equator in the Indonesian Archipelago, hosting a complex of coral reefs along its oceanic edge. The Berau coral reefs have a very high biodiversity, but the area is under serious risk due to river‐derived nutrients and sediments. The region is characterized by weak winds, moderate tides, and almost absent Coriolis forcing. Existing knowledge about river plume behavior in tropical environments is limited. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the subtle physical forcing on the dynamics of the Berau river plume. A three‐dimensional model (ECOMSED) was calibrated with observational data. The model was forced by freshwater input from the Berau river distributaries, tides at the open boundaries, and measured hourly wind. The model reproduces the freshwater dynamics on the shelf adequately and highlights that the river plume spreads symmetrically for river forcing only. Tides cause vertical mixing and suppress the cross‐shelf spreading of the river plume. However, the spreading of the river plume over the shelf is mainly controlled by the weak monsoonal winds, resulting in a seasonal development. During the Southeast Monsoon, the southerly winds push the plume northeastward and cause a stratified water column in the northern part of the continental shelf. Northerly winds during the Northwest Monsoon disperse the plume to the south, promoting a vertically well‐mixed water column. The results can be used to predict the possible impact of land‐use changes in the steadily developing Berau region on coral reef health.
Field observations of wave‐driven circulation over spur and groove formations on a coral reef

Published: December 2014

AbstractSpur and groove (SAG) formations are found on the forereefs of many coral reefs worldwide. Modeling results have shown that SAG formations together with shoaling waves induce a nearshore Lagrangian circulation pattern of counter‐rotating circulation cells, but these have never been observed in the field. We present results from two separate field studies of SAG formations on Palmyra Atoll which show their effect on waves to be small, but reveal a persistent order 1 cm/s depth‐averaged Lagrangian offshore flow over the spur and onshore flow over the grooves. This circulation was stronger for larger, directly incident waves and low alongshore flow conditions, consistent with predictions from modeling. Favorable forcing conditions must be maintained on the order of 1 h to accelerate and develop the SAG circulation cells. The primary cross and alongshore depth‐averaged momentum balances were between the pressure gradient, radiation stress gradient, and nonlinear convective terms, and the bottom drag was similar to values found on other reefs. The vertical structure of these circulation cells was previously unknown and the results show a complex horizontal offshore Lagrangian flow over the spurs near the surface driven by alongshore variability in radiation stress gradients. Vertical flow was downward over the spur and upward over the groove, likely driven by alongshore differences in bottom stress and not by vortex forcing.

Published: December 2014

SummaryThe irrelevant sound effect (ISE) typically refers to a disruptive effect of a to‐be‐ignored sound in serial recall tasks, where lists of visually presented items (digits and letters) must be recalled in serial order. Although extensively studied in adults, studies on developmental aspects of the ISE are scarce. The present study aims to increase our understanding of developmental changes of auditory distraction in children beyond serial recall. Two tasks (i.e., word categorization and evaluation of simple mathematical equations) were designed to test retrieval from semantic memory. Proportion correct and reaction times (adjusted for speed–accuracy tradeoff) were measured in 8–9 and 12–13‐year‐olds. Results revealed a developmental change in the susceptibility to auditory distraction. Whereas older children were not affected by background sounds, younger children showed impairment in both proportion correct and adjusted reaction times. Overall, results suggest that attention distraction and immature attention control mechanisms contribute to ISEs in young children. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
