ABSTRACT
Background: The short term outcome of patients undergoing surgery for Moyamoya disease can be affected by various perioperative factors. However, due to lesser prevalence of this disease in our country, data relating the effect of perioperative factors on the overall neurological outcomes of these patients is lacking. Aims: To analyze the effect of perioperative factors on the duration of postoperative hospital stay in patients undergoing surgery for Moyamoya disease. Settings and Design: It is a retrospective study analyzing various perioperative factors influencing the overall outcome of patients undergoing surgery for Moyamoya disease at a tertiary care centre in North India. Methods and Material: The medical records of all patients who underwent revascularization surgeries for Moyamoya disease from 2007 to till January 2014 were included for retrospective analysis. Various preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were recorded. The data was statistically compared for short and prolonged hospital stay for various perioperative factors. The duration of post operative hospital stay was categorized as short (<5 days) and prolonged (>5 days). Statistical Analysis: Kolmogrov Smirnov test was applied to see the normality of continuous data. The association of various categorically classified data with 2 groups was found using Fisher Exact test. The trends in intraoperative hemodynamics were analysed using 2 way repeated measure Anova test. T-test was used for comparing two group means for various parameters. Results: A total of 15 patients were included in the study. One patient underwent surgery twice on two different occasions. Thirteen patients belonged to paediatric age group (<18 years). The type of anaesthetics used for induction and maintenance had no effect on patient outcome. Mean duration of anaesthesia was 2.45 (1.3-4.0) hours. The mean duration of hospital stay was 5.13 (3-10) days. Most of the parameters did not have significant effect on postoperative hospital stay. Patients with mean value of intraoperative end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) either less than 31 mmHg or more than 35 mmHg had statistically significant prolongation of hospital stay. Conclusion: Maintaining the intraoperative EtCO2 between 31-35 mmHg may be associated with short hospital stay when compared to those who have intraoperative EtCO2 either less than 31 mmHg or more than 35 mmHg.
On Closed Ideals in a Certain Class of Algebras of Holomorphic Functions
Authors: Merino-Cruz Héctor , Wawrzyńczyk Antoni 
Published: January 2015

AbstractWe recently introduced a weighted Banach algebra of functions that are holomorphic on the unit disc D, continuous up to the boundary, and of the class C(n) at all points where the function G does not vanish. Here, G refers to a function of the disc algebra without zeros on D. Then we proved that all closed ideals in with at most countable hull are standard. In this paper, on the assumption that G is an outer function in C(n) having infinite roots in and countable zero set h0(G), we show that all the closed ideals I with hull containing h0(G) are standard.

Investigations of a balk in the centre of the prehistoric settlement of Džuljunica-Smărdeš comprised a sequence of archaeological deposits from the very onset of Neolithisation in South-eastern Europe throughout the end of the Early Neolithic. The arrival of Neolithic lifeways in the region coincides with the end of a period for which palaeoclimate proxies attest to considerable climate fluctuation. In connection with these investigations, the zoological finds were examined, which provide insight into the economy of this key settlement for the entire Balkan region.
Genres, Hybrids, Crossings: Mixings, Samplings, Mash-Ups
Authors: Stuhr John J. 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
I begin by considering the nature of philosophy understood as a genre of writing. I claim that genres are impure, porous, changing sites of inclusion and exclusion that are anything but natural kinds. Furthermore, I suggest that works of poetry, drama, painting, dance, and other arts may profitably be understood as works of philosophy and that philosophy itself may profitably be understood as an art, as performance work. I support this claim by an analysis of philosophy's canon as (a) historicist, (b) expressivist, and (c) self-consciously hybrid. I explicate the notion of hybridity in terms of crossings understood as (a) encounters, (b) resistance and opposition, and (c) passing borders. I conclude by drawing parallels between philosophical notions of hybridity and political issues of identity, community, and outsiders. Throughout this article, I am concerned to do philosophy in a way or style consistent with the expressivist view of philosophy I present.
Differences, Borders, Fusions
Authors: Scott Charles E. 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
In the context of Dewey's account of habits and conduct, we understand will to refer not to the subjective agency of an autonomous person or to any kind of a priori capacity of human reason or spirit but to habitual interactions in the interdependence of people with their social and natural environments. For Dewey, this claim suggests that in the absence of transcendental guidance or a socially independent inner and given moral conscience, human natures are grounded in indeterminate freedom. People's defining qualities and characters are formed in particular histories of social and environmental interdependence and the habitual conduct that develops in these embodiments. We may say that human predispositions and sensibilities form specific commonalities that are fluid in the sense that they are always available for transformation and “transvaluation” and constitute only finite, mortal interconnections with multiple lineages of temporal formation. I accept these claims by Dewey as I develop the thought of this article in two sections on differences, fusions, and borders. I want to show the ways differences and fusions happen compatibly. As we come to understand them they allow us to see dimensions of borders in contexts of interdependence, interaction, and intersection. In this understanding we will be predisposed to think of commonalities and identifying characteristics as thoroughly social.
The Weather World of Human Experience
Authors: Colapietro Vincent 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
I consider Chauncey Wright's metaphor of the universe as so much “cosmic weather” and then Tim Ingold's characterization of the terrestrial zone (or medium) of human existence taking shape as a “weather world.” I also attempt to connect the metaphor at the root of Wright's cosmology with the nuanced account of the weather world (especially as a medium and “meshwork”) at the center of Ingold's anthropology. The upshot is a thoroughly pragmatic understanding of the lifeworld of human beings.
The Challenge of Speaking with Others: A Pragmatist Account of Democratic Rhetoric
Authors: Stroud Scott R. 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
This article explores what the contours of a pragmatist theory of rhetoric would be like in its democratic instantiation. The threat of partisan thought and dogmatism in argument is examined as a threat to the sort of democratic community pragmatists such as John Dewey desired to create. Partisans fail to realize not only their own limitations in pursuing the true and the good but also the fact that solving problems through overly partisan forms of reasoning or argument only creates future obstacles to community life. This provides an extended reading of what Dewey meant by free communication: communication not only free from legal constraints and censorship but also free from the binding habits of thought and interaction that can be identified as “partisan perfect reasoning.”
Pragmatic Hegemony: Questions and Convergence
Authors: Hogan Brendan 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
The question concerning the connection of scientific inquiry to democratic praxis is central to both Antonio Gramsci and John Dewey. They share a common philosophical origin in Hegel and are essentially both in the tradition of Left Hegelian thought. Likewise, their respective analyses of the forces obstructing democratic emancipation were sharply focused on the distortions of social life caused by economic agents cooperating under hugely unequal power relations. As Gramsci wrote from his prison cell from 1929 to 1937 in Italy, Dewey went through his most fruitful philosophical period in the United States, including his writings on politics and democracy. They both found targets of critique by diagnosing the pathologies of public life resulting from the power of private capital interests in collusion with a co-opted representative body, the authoritarian crimes and attendant culture of fascism, and the theoretical rigidity of the Soviet Marxists. In addition, true to their Hegelian roots, they marshaled their critiques of the abstractions of liberalism and its attendant moral and economic theory by insisting on the embedded, cultural, and historically deep contexts in which emancipatory practice need take place.

Published: January 2015

Esta pesquisa analisou a percepção dos professores, que atuam nas salas de recursos (SR) das escolas municipais de Foz do Iguaçu/PR, sobre a inclusão escolar de crianças com Necessidades Educacionais Especiais (NEEs). Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantiqualitativa, com utilização da técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). Os dados foram coletados no primeiro semestre de 2012, por meio de questionários aplicados aos professores da rede municipal. Para a análise descritiva das falas, os resultados foram organizados em planilhas. Identificaram-se serviços bem estruturados, demonstrando uma grande preocupação em nível de políticas públicas sobre a perspectiva de inclusão na assistência prestada dentro das SR aos alunos provenientes das séries iniciais (1ª a 4ª) do ensino fundamental, evidenciados por meio do acompanhamento realizado pela escola, da comunicação existente entre os profissionais de SR e ensino comum e dos materiais pedagógicos utilizados, com destaque para as atividades lúdicas. No entanto, apesar da grande variedade de NEEs atendidas, ficou explícita a dificuldade no processo de ensino-aprendizagem que esses profissionais enfrentam. Embora o município apresente um serviço educacional especializado bem estruturado nas escolas municipais para atendimento das NEEs, ainda são necessárias algumas modificações estratégicas para melhor atender esses alunos.

Published: January 2015

A inclusão dos alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais tem se tornado uma grande área de discursão na educação brasileira, por esse motivo este estudo objetivou analisar a trajetória da participação de pessoas com deficiência visual, nas aulas de Educação Física ao longo de seu processo de formação do ensino fundamental ao nível superior, para isso foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas individuais com 6 estudantes universitários com deficiência visual da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, Campus I, João Pessoa-PB. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas, após diversas leituras os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que 90% dos participantes não executaram aulas de Educação Física nas escolas da rede regular de ensino. Entre os motivos para que isto ocorresse está a atitude negativa e a falta de preparação do professor frente a condição da deficiência do aluno, excluindo o aluno sem mesmo oferecer oportunidade para participação da aula. Os entrevistados relataram que eram esquecidos no momento da aula de educação física, a falta de preocupação do professor para incluir, alguns relataram que não chegaram a conhecer o professor de educação física durante todo o ano letivo. Os participantes da pesquisa também afirmaram procurar instituições especializadas para ter o apoio que não era oferecido na escola regular, evidenciando por outro lado a intervenção positiva de profissionais de educação física nas escolas especiais. Conclui-se que apesar do direito legal à educação, na rede regular de ensino os alunos com deficiência visual não vem sendo incluídos nas aulas de educação física.

Authors: Sá Michele Aparecida de , Cia Fabiana 
Published: January 2015

Na política educacional brasileira é observado que a interface da Educação Especial com a Educação Indígena está em construção. Portanto, investigar como essa interface vem sendo implementada no contexto das escolas indígenas é de suma relevância. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivo geral analisar a interface entre a Educação Especial na Educação Escolar Indígena no Brasil por meio de dados de matrículas do censo escolar entre os anos de 2007 – 2010. Os objetivos específicos resultaram em caracterizar: (a) o número de matrículas de alunos indígenas com deficiência nas escolas indígenas; (b) os tipos de deficiências encontradas na população indígena; (c) as modalidade de ensino em que os alunos indígenas com deficiência estão matriculados e (d) verificar se os alunos indígenas com deficiência recebem atendimento educacional especializado. Os dados foram coletados por meio dos Microdados do Censo Escolar da Educação Básica disponibilizados pelo Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP) referentes aos anos de 2007, 2008, 2009 e 2010. Este estudo constatou que houve um crescimento significativo do número de alunos indígenas com deficiência matriculados nas escolas indígenas do Brasil. No que se refere ao atendimento educacional especializado, destaca-se que houve aumento do número de matrículas de alunos com deficiência nas escolas indígenas sem qualquer tipo de atendimento.

Habermas, identidad moderna y mejora humana. ¿El camino a seguir?
Authors: Lopez Frías Francisco Javier 
Published: January 2015

La finalidad de este artículo es triple. Primero, las secciones 1 y 2 expondrán la estructura del argumento de Jürgen Habermas respecto a las tecnologías de mejora humana. Para ello, éste será descompuesto en tres partes, que son sus pilares básicos: a) los sujetos diseñados no pueden auto-concebirse a sí mismos como autores únicos de sus vidas; b) la distinción kantiana entre objetos y personas se desvanece como consecuencia del modo en que los sujetos modificados experiencian su cuerpo; c) la relación entre los padres y su descendencia se vuelve asimétrica, de modo que es contraria a las normas de la acción comunicativa. Segundo, en la sección 3, que es concebida como un diálogo entre Habermas y sus críticos, se presentarán algunas objeciones teóricas a su argumento. Tercero, la sección 4 analizará la validez de los argumentos habermasianos y afirmará firmemente que la posición de Habermas arroja luz sobre el modo correcto de analizar las tecnologías de mejora humana desde un punto de vista moral. A saber, en función de la influencia que tienen sobre el modo en que los sujetos se auto-conciben como seres autónomos y responsables.The aim of this paper is threefold. First, the structure of Jürgen Habermas’ argument on human enhancement technologies shall be exposed in sections 1 and 2. In order to do so, this paper shall discompose Habermas’ argument in the following three parts, which will be taken to be its central pillars: a) designed people cannot self-conceive themselves as the sole authors of their lives; b) the Kantian distinction between objects and persons falls apart due to the way in which modified people experience their bodies; c) the relationship between parents and their modified offspring turns into an asymmetric one, so it is contrary to the rules of communicative action. Secondly, several objections to Habermas’ claims shall be exposed in section 3, which is mainly conceived as a dialogue between Habermas and his critics. Thirdly, section 4 shall analyse the validity ofHabermas’ claims. It shall firmly argue that his position sheds light on the right way to analyse human enhancement technologies from a moral point of view.
Aux origines du théâtre de Daniel Danis
Authors: Guay Hervé 
Published: January 2015

Dans cet article, l’auteur s’intéresse au caractère syncrétique des mythes que
convoque Daniel Danis dans plusieurs pièces et qui puisent à plusieurs sources : entre
autres, la Bible et le christianisme, l’hindouisme, le judaïsme et la spiritualité
amérindienne. Au-delà de ce foisonnement, l’analyse discerne dans cette dramaturgie deux
grandes structures mythiques, la création et la destruction, dont l’interaction dynamise les
relations entre les groupes et entre les personnages. Ces mythes, fondateurs si l’on veut,
sont à leur tour inséparables de la ritualisation de la fable où se manifestent quantité de
rituels et plusieurs recours à la magie, voire au surnaturel.
Différences entre les niveaux de stress de parents d’enfants ayant ou non une DI ou un TSA
Authors: Morin Diane , De Mondehare Laurence , Maltais Julie , Picard Isabelle , Moscato Mélissa , Tassé Marc J. 
Published: January 2015

Contexte. Les parents d’enfants ayant une DI ou un TSA rapportent généralement un stress plus élevé que les parents d’enfants à développement typique, ce qu’on a peu étudié au Québec. Méthode. Quatre groupes de 144 parents (ayant un enfant sans DI ni TSA; avec DI; avec TSA; avec DI et TSA) ont complété des mesures de stress parental, de soutien social et rapporté des informations concernant leur enfant. Résultats. Les analyses de variance et des contrastes prévus indiquent que les parents du groupe DI-TSA obtiennent les plus hauts niveaux de stress. Par ordre décroissant, viennent ensuite les groupes TSA, DI, et sans DI ou TSA. Les enfants du groupe DI-TSA présentent plus de comportements problématiques, de moins bonnes habiletés adaptatives et moins d’habiletés sociales. Leurs parents sont ceux qui reçoivent plus de soutien, mais également ceux qui en sont les moins satisfaits.
Blind source separation for groundwater pressure analysis based on nonnegative matrix factorization
Authors: Alexandrov Boian S. , Vesselinov Velimir V. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractThe identification of the physical sources causing spatial and temporal fluctuations of aquifer water levels is a challenging, yet a very important hydrogeological task. The fluctuations can be caused by variations in natural and anthropogenic sources such as pumping, recharge, barometric pressures, etc. The source identification can be crucial for conceptualization of the hydrogeological conditions and characterization of aquifer properties. We propose a new computational framework for model‐free inverse analysis of pressure transients based on Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) method for Blind Source Separation (BSS) coupled with k‐means clustering algorithm, which we call NMFk. NMFk is capable of identifying a set of unique sources from a set of experimentally measured mixed signals, without any information about the sources, their transients, and the physical mechanisms and properties controlling the signal propagation through the subsurface flow medium. Our analysis only requires information about pressure transients at a number of observation points, m, where
, and r is the number of unknown unique sources causing the observed fluctuations. We apply this new analysis on a data set from the Los Alamos National Laboratory site. We demonstrate that the sources identified by NMFk have real physical origins: barometric pressure and water‐supply pumping effects. We also estimate the barometric pressure efficiency of the monitoring wells. The possible applications of the NMFk algorithm are not limited to hydrogeology problems; NMFk can be applied to any problem where temporal system behavior is observed at multiple locations and an unknown number of physical sources are causing these fluctuations.
Variability in AIRS‐retrieved cloud amount and thermodynamic phase over west versus east Antarctica influenced by the SAM
Authors: Lubin Dan , Kahn Brian H. , Lazzara Matthew A. , Rowe Penny , Walden Von P. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractIn a sample of summertime cloud retrievals from the NASA Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), a positive Southern Annular Mode (SAM) index polarity is associated with greater cloud frequency and larger effective cloud fraction over West Antarctica compared with a negative SAM index polarity. The opposite result appears over the high East Antarctic Plateau. Comparing AIRS‐retrieved cloud fraction with Antarctic Automatic Weather Station 2 m air temperature data, a positive and significant correlation is found over most of West Antarctica, signifying a longwave heating effect of clouds. Over East Antarctica correlations between Sun elevation and 2 m air temperature are strongest, consistent with lower cloud amount.
Structured elves: Modulation by convectively generated gravity waves
Authors: Yue Jia , Lyons Walter A. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractWe report on a markedly striated elve (Emissions of Light and Very Low Frequency Perturbations due to Electromagnetic Pulse Source) (a “tiger elve”) observed using an intensified high‐speed Phantom camera system at the Yucca Ridge Field Station near Fort Collins, Colorado, on the night of 12 June 2013. This elve was induced by a 204 kA positive cloud‐to‐ground lightning flash within a mesoscale convective system in western South Dakota. A halo and a sprite followed the elve. The banded structure in the elve was aligned with convectively generated gravity waves (CGGWs) independently observed by a collocated color near‐infrared camera. Assuming the height of the OH layer and elve both to be 85 km, photogrammetry allowed projection of the elve and the CGGWs onto the same geographic map. The tiger elve stripes approximately overlay on the troughs (dark bands) of CGGWs. This is consistent with model predictions that the ionization rate in the D region ionosphere is inversely proportional to the air density, which is modulated by the CGGWs.
