Helicobacter Pylori and Iron Deficiency Anemia in Children: Case Series and Review of Literature
Authors: Penagini Francesca , Dilillo Dario , Torcoletti Matteo , Mauri Silvia , Fociani Paolo , Zuccotti Gian Vincenzo 
Published: April 2015

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been described as a possible cause of refractory iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in children. Nevertheless, the relationship between H. pylori infection and IDA in children remains an area of controversy due to the contrasting data in literature. We report a case series of two children who presented with IDA refractory to iron treatment, which reversed only after eradication of H. pylori infection, supporting the causal role of this bacterium in pathogenesis of IDA. In both cases H. pylori presented a high antimicrobial resistance, raising the issue on the importance of considering geographical susceptibility of H. pylori strains when starting empirical treatment and the importance of performing antimicrobial susceptibility testings, in particular if standard empirical therapy fails. The present review gives a complete overview of the literature regarding the relationship between H. pylori and IDA in children, explains the possible pathogenetic mechanisms involved in H. pylori-related IDA and addresses the issue of the high antimicrobial resistance often encountered in H. pylori infection in children.
The Perceived Stress Scale for Children: A Pilot Study in a Sample of 153 Children
Authors: White Barbara Prudhomme 
Published: April 2015

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the utility and validity of an efficient screening tool intended for educators, clinicians and researchers who are interested in identifying perceived chronic stress and relations among home and school performance, behavior, and health in children.
Method: The Perceived Stress Scale for Children (PSS-C) was assessed on its ability to discriminate between children with known stress-related anxiety disorders from typically developing children without any identified stress-related conditions. The participants included 153 children from the northeastern United States (5-18 years) recruited via posted flyers, personal networks, and referral.
Results: The results suggested that the PSS-C is easy to administer, and effectively discriminates between children with and without known anxiety/stress disorders.
Conclusion: The PSS-C may be helpful for the early identification of children at risk for chronic anxiety/stress. This is important because chronic stress appears to result in increased vulnerability for poorer school outcomes and reduced home functional performance, as well as resulting in problems with overall health, mental health and body weight. An effective and efficient assessment for early identification of anxiety/stress in children assists in the development of appropriate responses.
Disabling privilege: Further reflections on Deaf West’s Big River
Authors: Knapp Raymond 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Drawing on observations of Michael McElroy, Tyrone Giordano and Ed Waterstreet I consider the difficult role of Jim in Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which involves reliving the institution of slavery, onstage, night after night. What made it possible and rewarding to play this role, for Michael McElroy, was the Deaf West production, which involved both hearing and deaf actors, the former signing and the latter voiced. I consider how the performance difficulties, the need to connect with deaf performers, and the thematic interweaving of the story with its performance mode, among other factors, contributed to a rich experience that reflects and intensifies fundamental aspects of musical theatre.

‘Clothes make an awful difference in a girl’: Mlle. Modiste, Irene and Funny Face as Cinderella fashion musicals
Authors: Cantu Maya 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
The world of fashion has been a frequent setting for the many Broadway musicals inspired by Charles Perrault’s Cinderella (1697). Using two Broadway musicals and one Hollywood musical as cross-historical case studies, this article examines how the American musical has variously adapted and interpreted themes of ‘clothes make the woman’ by posing Cinderella as a shop girl or model in fields of consumer fashion. The 1905 Victor Herbert/Henry Blossom operetta Mlle. Modiste, and the 1919 Cinderella musical Irene (by James Montgomery, Harry Tierney and Joseph McCarthy) both assert the democratizing power of fashion. In Mlle. Modiste, the resourceful title character uses both her singing talent and her access to stylish clothing to rise in the world as an opera diva, as well as a viscount’s wife. Irene emphasizes themes of masquerade and meritocracy, as the eponymous Irish American shop girl models dresses for couturier ‘Madame Lucy’, fools high society as a pedigreed lady and marries her Prince Charming. By contrast, the 1957 Paramount movie musical Funny Face problematizes its heroine’s fashion-world makeover. While Funny Face’s narrative depicts the transformation of Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn), a bookish ‘Greenwich Village Cinderella’, into a glamorous Paris mannequin, Funny Face’s musical numbers, use strategies of camp and parody to undercut the concept of ‘The Quality Woman’.
The Beauty and the Beast trope in modern musical theatre
Authors: Warner Rebecca 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Fairy tales have provided a rich supply of sources for direct adaptation in musical theatre, however they are also the source of many of the tropes that are found more widely in musicals. This article focuses on the tropes that can be identified in the Beauty and the Beast tale and how they can be found in a range of musicals which are not direct adaptations of the tale itself. The particular musicals explored are the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast (1991) from the perspective of direct adaptation, and The Phantom of the Opera (1986), Passion (1994), Wicked (2003) and Shrek the Musical (2008) which are analysed on a tropic level. These four musicals are indeed all adaptations of other source material, and such works might be said to interpret tropes of fairy tale rather than adapt the tale. Frameworks from narratological study are used to explore the topic, particularly Lévi-Strauss’ synchronic – diachronic method of analysis proposed in ‘The structural study of myth’ and Greimas’ semiotic square as a means of considering the meaning behind binary opposite pairs of themes.
‘Telling the tale’: Adaptation as interpretation
Authors: Gordon Robert , Jubin Olaf 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
The introduction considers the adaptations of stage musicals from previously existing source material as acts of cultural translation, operating through intricately interwoven intertexts of narrative meaning in myths, folk tales, fairy tales, prose fiction, poetry and films across a wide spectrum of cultures and languages. One of the key questions problematized is the common sense idea of fidelity to the original source material; it is however logically impossible for an adaptation to be faithful to its source as all adaptation involves interpretative decisions so that even the simplest translation from one medium to another is a hermeneutic act. Rather than focusing exclusively on the technical differences between media, the articles in this volume address adaptations of sources for the musical stage as interpretations.
Oz and the musical: The American art form and the reinvention of the American fairy tale
Authors: Bunch Ryan 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Much as the musical is touted as an American art form, L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz (1900) has been called the American fairy tale. Since its publication, the book has been eclipsed in popularity by a series of musical–theatrical adaptations, which are also among the most popular shows in the canon of musicals, suggesting an affinity between musicals and Oz. Close analysis of four Oz musicals, the Broadway extravaganza of 1903, the MGM film of 1939, The Wiz (1975) and Wicked (2003) shows how the conventions of musical theatre translate the already powerful symbolic national mythology of Baum’s book into participatory expressions of American identity through embodied performance. In return, Oz gives the musical a signal national text which, through adaptation, allows the musical to reassert its own American pedigree while rearticulating the meaning of American identity at significant moments in the history of the genre.
Jane and Jerusha: Finding a voice on the musical stage
Authors: Thornton Annette 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
In 1994, American composer/lyricist Paul Gordon started to work with British stage director and writer John Caird on the musical Jane Eyre, which finally opened on Broadway in 2000 with Caird writing the book, additional lyrics and co-directing the production. The two artists again collaborated on Daddy Long Legs in 2008, also with book and direction by Caird. Both musicals feature a female protagonist and are adapted from novels written and set in earlier times – 1847 and 1912, respectively. In addition, the novels have been adapted to the screen with varying degrees of faithfulness to the source material. This article explores how screen adaptations have interpreted the two novels and compares these to the stage musicals. I argue that by being more faithful to the source material, Gordon and Caird make the characters and relationships modern, passionate, and relatable to twenty-first-century audiences.

Published: April 2015

Abstract
In February 2014, UCLA hosted a reunion of the cast and production team of Deaf West’s Tony Award-winning production of Big River from 2004. In front of a public audience, participants in the original production reflected on the challenges and rewards of putting together a piece of musical theatre using deaf and hearing actors and incorporating new ideas about how to use American Sign Language (ASL) as the basis for choreography. The panel was introduced by Raymond Knapp and moderated by Jeff Calhoun, and included Michael Arden, Linda Bove, David Kurs, Steve Landau, Bill O’Brien, Tyrone Giordano, Michael McElroy, Gwen Stewart, and Ed Waterstreet. Performances by members of the cast were supervised by Steven Landau and supported by singers and instrumentalists drawn from student ensembles at UCLA, including the UCLA Singers (directed by Rebecca Lord) and the Department of Ethnomusicology’s Bluegrass Band (directed by Scott Linford). The interpreters for the event were Elizabeth Greene, Robbie Sutton, Bob Loparo, and Diana MacDougall. The event was co-sponsored by UCLA and Deaf West Theatre, with funding provided by UCLA’s Department of Musicology, Department of Music (Nelson Fund), Arts Initiative Fund, School of the Arts and Architecture, Division of Humanities, Disability Studies, and Herb Alpert School of Music.

Abstract
ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters form a superfamily of integral membrane proteins involved in translocation of substrates across the membrane driven by ATP hydrolysis. Despite available crystal structures and extensive biochemical data, many open questions regarding their transport mechanisms remain. Therefore, there is a need to explore spectroscopic techniques such as solid state NMR in order to bridge the gap between structural and mechanistic data. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using Escherichia coli MsbA as a model ABC transporter for solid state NMR studies. We show that optimised solubilisation and reconstitution procedures enable preparing stable and homogenous protein samples. Depending on the duration of solubilisation, MsbA can be obtained in either an apo- or in a native lipid A bound form. Building onto these optimisations, the first promising MAS-NMR spectra with narrow lines have been recorded. However, further sensitivity improvements are required so that complex NMR experiments can be recorded within a reasonable amount of time. We therefore demonstrate the usability of paramagnetic doping for rapid data acquisition and explore dynamic nuclear polarisation as a method for general signal enhancement. Our results demonstrate that solid state NMR provides an opportunity to address important biological questions related to complex mechanisms of ABC transporters.
An Effective Approach Based on Response Surface Methodology for Predicting Friction Welding Parameters
Authors: Celik Sare , Deniz Karaoglan Aslan , Ersozlu Ismail 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThe joining of dissimilar metals is one of the most essential necessities of industries. Manufacturing by the joint of alloy steel and normal carbon steel is used in production, because it decreases raw material cost. The friction welding process parameters such as friction pressure, friction time, upset pressure, upset time and rotating speed play the major roles in determining the strength and microstructure of the joints. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM), which is a well-known design of experiments approach, is used for modeling the mathematical relation between the responses (tensile strength and maximum temperature), and the friction welding parameters with minimum number of experiments. The results show that RSM is an effective method for this type of problems for developing models and prediction.
Evaluation of High Temperature Properties and Microstructural Characterization of Resistance Spot Welded Steel Lap Shear Joints
Authors: Gupta R. K. , Anil Kumar V. , Panicker Paul G. 
Published: April 2015

AbstractJoining of thin sheets (0.5 mm) of stainless steel 304 and 17-4PH through resistance spot welding is highly challenging especially when joint is used for high temperature applications. Various combinations of stainless steel sheets of thickness 0.5 mm are spot welded and tested at room temperature as well as at high temperatures (800 K, 1,000 K, 1,200 K). Parent metal as well as spot welded joints are tested and characterized. It is observed that joint strength of 17-4PH steel is highest and then dissimilar steel joint of 17-4PH with SS-304 is moderate and of SS-304 is lowest at all the temperatures. Joint strength of 17-4PH steel is found to be >80% of parent metal properties up to 1,000 K then drastic reduction in strength is noted at 1,200 K. Gradual reduction in strength of SS-304 joint with increase in temperature from 800 to 1,200 K is noted. At 1,200 K, joint strength of all combinations of joints is found to be nearly same. Microstructural evaluation of weld nugget after testing at different temperatures shows presence of tempered martensite in 17-4PH containing welds and homogenized structure in stainless steel 304 weld.
Do Moral Duties Arise from Global Trade?
Authors: Walton Andrew 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThis paper discusses the idea that trade – the practice of regularised exchange of goods or services between nation-states for mutual advantage under an orchestrated system of rules – can generate moral duties, duties that exist between only participants in the activity. It considers this idea across three duties often cited as duties of trade: duties not to harm; duties to provide certain basic goods; and duties to distribute (certain) benefits and burdens fairly. The paper argues that these three duties seem unlikely contenders for duties thought in some sense to supervene on trade, the former two because they seem to exist regardless of the existence of trade and the latter because it seems to apply to a group more widely conceived than to be coherently thought centred on trade. It concludes that, at least across these three duties, it is more plausible to think that they are duties which, although possibly having relevance for how trade is conducted, do not emerge from the practice and are, rather, grounded elsewhere.

Authors: Khan Najeeb Alam , Razzaq Oyoon Abdul , Ayyaz Muhammad 
Published: April 2015

AbstractIn this paper, Sumudu transform is advanced and designed for the solution of linear differential models with uncertainty. For this purpose, Sumudu transform is coupled with fuzzy theory and all its fundamental properties are formalized in fuzzy sense. At last, to demonstrate the accuracy of this approach, fuzzy Sumudu transform is employed to some examples of fuzzy linear differential equations considered under generalized H-differentiability and analytical solutions are obtained efficiently.

AbstractA mathematical model of the dynamics of the Black and the Azov Seas is considered taking into account tide-generating forces. The problem of variational assimilation of sea surface temperature (SST) data is formulated and studied. Based on variational assimilation of satellite altimetry data, we propose an algorithm for solving the inverse problem of reconstruction of potential forces affecting the formation of the mean level and present a method of approximate solution of this problem.We also present numerical experiments concerning the study of the influence of tide-generating forces on the dynamics of the Black Sea and restoration of the heat flux function in the problem of variational data assimilation of SST observations
MOBILIDADE URBANA: UMA ANÁLISE DA ACESSIBILIDADE NO BAIRRO DE NOVA BETÂNIA EM MOSSORÓ-RN
Authors: Liberalino C. , Nascimento Gerson Gomes do 
Published: April 2015

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a acessibilidade no bairro de Nova Betânia, que integra o município de Mossoró-RN, por ser esta uma localidade que está imersa em um processo recente, porém contínuo, de transformação e que, em decorrência deste fato, tem apresentado grande demanda de deslocamentos. Sendo assim, para a melhor percepção da temática, trouxemos no primeiro capítulo um referencial teórico que versa sobre dois importantes conceitos: Mobilidade Urbana e Espaço Urbano. No segundo capítulo foi feita uma contextualização histórica da cidade, através do fornecimento de informações imprescindíveis para o entendimento da atual dinâmica de organização espacial. Além disso, foi apresentado um panorama da situação dos transportes na cidade como um todo e mais detalhadamente no recorte urbano foco do trabalho. Foi observado que a quantidade de veículos de transporte coletivo que atende a cidade é insuficiente diante do quantitativo populacional, existe má distribuição de itinerários que resulta em várias linhas atendendo uma pequena área enquanto grande parte é desassistida, além de outros problemas como a falta de rigor no cumprimento de itinerários e o estado de conservação da frota, pontos de parada, dentre outros. Enquanto procedimento metodológico, recorremos à bibliografia relacionada à temática abordada bem como a um trabalho de campo na qual foram realizadas entrevistas formais e informais, consulta a órgãos públicos e privados e visitas in loco na área objeto de estudo. Através dessa análise, concluímos ser de baixa qualidade o serviço de transporte prestado à população, culminando na insatisfação coletiva. Identificou-se a necessidade de uma melhor gestão por parte das autoridades competentes levando em consideração a distribuição da população no espaço, bem como as principais demandas nos deslocamentos.

In the work a method of obtaining highly dispersed zinc powders by electrolysis and comparison of the properties of zinc-rich compositions prepared using as a pigment zinc powders obtained by different methods is provided. Conducted measurements have shown that the electrical conductivity of zinc-rich coatings comprising electrolytic zinc powder does not inferior to the conductivity of the film with PZHD-0 powder obtained by the evaporation-condensation method, despite the significant difference in the amount of zinc pigment. On the basis of the received data one can conclude that the use of electrolytic zinc powder as a pigment will significantly save zinc.
Childbirth Education Prior to Pregnancy? Survey Findings of Childbirth Preferences and Attitudes Among Young Women
Authors: Edmonds Joyce K. , Cwiertniewicz Taylor , Stoll Kathrin 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACTThe childbirth preferences and attitudes of young women prior to pregnancy (N = 758) were explored in a cross-sectional survey. Sources of influential childbirth information and self-reported childbirth learning needs were described. Young women’s attitudes about childbirth, including the degree of confidence in coping with a vaginal birth, whether birth is considered a natural event, and expectations of labor pain were associated with their mode of birth preference. Conversations with friends and family were the most influential source of childbirth information. Gaps in knowledge about pregnancy and birth were identified. An improved understanding of women’s preferences and attitudinal profiles can inform the structure and content of educational strategies that aim to help the next generation of maternity care consumers participate in informed decision making.
An Integrative Review of Factors Influencing Breastfeeding in Adolescent Mothers
Authors: Kanhadilok Supannee , McGrath Jacqueline M. 
Published: April 2015

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this integrative review was to describe factors that influence breastfeeding behaviors in adolescent mothers. Twenty-two articles met inclusion criteria. Findings showed that most adolescent mothers intended to breastfeed during pregnancy. Yet, breastfeeding initiation ranged from 39% to 69%. Almost half of adolescent mothers stopped within 1 month. Less than 25% continued to breastfeeding behaviors to 6 months. Factors that influenced breastfeeding decisions in adolescent mothers included social and cultural norms. Personal beliefs about being a good mother were important to intention and initiation of breastfeeding. Promoting maternal competence was found to be essential to breastfeeding initiation and continuation for adolescent mothers. Support from partners and professionals also led to positive attitudes toward breastfeeding initiation and continuation.
