Unsettled and unsettling landscapes: Exchanges by Jones, Read and Wylie about living with rivers and flooding, watery landscapes in an era of climate change
Authors: Jones Owain , Read Simon , Wylie John 
Published: June 2013

Abstract
This experimental article seeks to bring new approaches to landscape emerging in cultural geography into conversation with arts and humanities practice and scholarship which are focusing on matters of community, landscape and environment, and particularly vulnerable, watery landscapes. These approaches raise a whole host of questions about how changing and at-risk-landscapes are imagined, studied and lived in. In particular I (Jones) seek to bring the work of cultural geographer John Wylie into conversation with the work of the artist/academic Simon Read, with the purpose of asking; how might landscapes and lives within them be considered as settled, unsettled and/or unsettling? These notions of settling/unsettling offer purchase on various fraught questions about how we (individuals and communities) live with nature in place and landscape. Wylie’s work can be seen as an attempt to develop a practice- and performative-based post-phenomenological account of practiced landscape in which they are woven not only from presences (the dominant view), but also absences and exiles, and tensions between (fragmented) self and landscape, and more besides. Simon Read’s art practice and research seeks to map possible futures of vulnerable coastlines in relation to communities and landscape management plans. Ideas of temporal ecologies of place/landscape are opened up, which show that much of what makes a landscape what it is at any given moment is absent from the present moment and its condition. Landscape is process, and thus it is not, and cannot be seen as just in the here and now. It is a manifestation of on-going processes with the legacies of the past in place and also processes of possible futures, including the uncertainties of climate change.
DC–DC Type High-Frequency Link DC for Improved Power Quality of Cascaded Multilevel Inverter
Authors: Sadikin Muhammad , Senjyu Tomonobu , Yona Atsushi 
Published: June 2013

Abstract
Multilevel inverters are emerging as a new breed of power converter options for power system applications. Recent advances in power switching devices enabled the suitability of multilevel inverters for high voltage and high power applications because they are connecting several devices in series without the need of component matching. Usually, a transformerless battery energy storage system, based on a cascaded multilevel inverter, is used as a measure for voltage and frequency deviations. System can be reduced in size, weight, and cost of energy storage system. High-frequency link circuit topology is advantageous in realizing compact and light-weight power converters for uninterruptible power supply systems, new energy systems using photovoltaic-cells, fuel-cells and so on. This paper presents a DC–DC type high-frequency link DC (HFLDC) cascaded multilevel inverter. Each converter cell is implemented a control strategy for two H-bridge inverters that are controlled with the same multicarrier pulse width modulation (PWM) technique. The proposed cascaded multilevel inverter generates lower voltage total harmonic distortion (THD) in comparison with conventional cascaded multilevel inverter. Digital simulations are carried out using PSCAD/EMTDC to validate the performance of the proposed cascaded multilevel inverter.

Published: June 2013

Abstract
We propose a new concept for the combination of mobile multi-touch devices and diagnostic reading workstations to provide a workstation-grade reading experience of medical images with mobile devices. The patient-centric, workflow-oriented design links a mobile touch-device with dedicated diagnostic monitors and adapts the behavior and the presented content of the mobile device depending on the location and access permission level of the user. The design is based on a breast MRI reading system, exploring the suitability of touch interaction for diagnostic reading of MRI patient cases. We discuss the benefits for radiologist as well as possible challenges. Furthermore, we will describe the results of an informal evaluation of the prototype and a formal evaluation of the speed and precision of the indirect multi-touch gesture for measuring objects in image data.

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Beitrag diskutiert mobile Anwendungen zur Erstellung nutzergenerierter Wissensobjekte für die Förderung des Wissensaustauschs in der ärztlichen Weiterbildung und präsentiert erste Ergebnisse eines Verbundvorhabens, in dem Anwendungen für diesen Bereich entwickelt werden. Der Fokus liegt auf einer multimodalen Lösung, die verschiedene mobile Interaktionstechnologien (Tablets, Smartphones, Smartpens), Medienformen und Nutzungsmodalitäten (mobil, stationär) kombiniert, um den Besonderheiten der Anwendungsdomäne (hohe Mobilität, wechselnde Nutzungskontexte, zeitliche Knappheit) gerecht zu werden. Die durchgeführten Untersuchungen deuten darauf hin, dass sowohl die Multimodalität als auch die angewandte Methodik, die ein nutzerorientiertes mit einem technologieorientierten Vorgehen kombiniert, wichtige Anforderungen für diese Domäne und vergleichbare Kontexte darstellen können.

Authors: Ludewig Yvonne , Döring Nicola , Bley Andreas 
Published: June 2013

Zusammenfassung
Ein Serviceroboter soll nützliche Funktionen anbieten, gut bedienbar sein und als sozialer Akteur ein freundliches und entgegenkommendes Verhalten gegenüber Nutzerinnen und Nutzern an den Tag legen. Der vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich den letztgenannten sozio-emotionalen Anforderungen. Einem marktreifen Shoppingroboter wurde auf der Basis des aktuellen Forschungsstandes eine extravertierte Persönlichkeit verliehen mit der Erwartung, dass sich dadurch die soziale Akzeptanz des Roboters verbessert. Anhand einer experimentellen Feldstudie (n = 194 Versuchspersonen) in einem Baumarkt konnte die Optimierung bestätigt werden: Der extravertiert gestaltete Shoppingroboter wurde im Vergleich zum herkömmlichen Roboter als extravertierter wahrgenommen. Zudem zeigten die Nutzerinnen und Nutzer gegenüber dem extravertierten Shoppingroboter eine höhere soziale Akzeptanz als gegenüber dem herkömmlichen Shoppingroboter.
Prototypen auf dem Prüfstand. Bedeutsamkeit der Repräsentationsform im Rahmen der Konzeptevaluation
Authors: Diefenbach Sarah , Chien Wei-Chi , Lenz Eva , Hassenzahl Marc 
Published: June 2013

Zusammenfassung
Prototyping ermöglicht es bereits in frühen Phasen des Produktentwicklungszyklus Rückmeldung zu Konzeptideen und verschiedenen Varianten der Ausgestaltung einzuholen. Voraussetzung für hilfreiche Einsichten durch Evaluationsstudien ist allerdings die Angemessenheit der Konzeptrepräsentation. Wird die Konzeptidee durch die gewählte Art der Darstellung unzureichend vermittelt, können Studienteilnehmer kein sinnvolles Feedback liefern und Evaluationsergebnisse werden wohlmöglich verfälscht. Die vorliegende Studie exploriert die Auswirkungen der Konzeptrepräsentation anhand der vergleichenden Evaluation eines Produktkonzepts in fünf Repräsentationsformen unterschiedlicher Reichhaltigkeit. Neben Effekten für Konzeptverständnis und Konzeptbeurteilung wurde auch die erlebte Wirkung der Darstellung hinsichtlich Effektivität, Emotionalität und Motivationspotential untersucht. Die Studienergebnisse zeigen, dass auch reduzierte Darstellungsformen bereits umfangreiche Einsichten in das Potential eines Konzepts ermöglichen und hinsichtlich bestimmter Fragestellungen sogar besonders geeignet sein können. Allgemeine Ableitungen zur Auswahl geeigneter Formen der Konzeptrepräsentation werden diskutiert.

Biosorption of heavy metals by Streptomyces species — an overview
Authors: Mosbah Rachid , Sahmoune Mohamed 
Published: June 2013

Abstract
Abstract Heavy metals, derived from industrial wastewater discharge, present a serious threat to human health and to natural water. Biosorption is regarded as a cost-effective biotechnology for the treatment of high volume and low concentration wastewaters containing heavy metal(s) in the order of 1 to 100 mg L−1. Among the biomaterials for heavy metal removal which have been researched during the past decades is the Streptomyces species, a by-product of an industrial antibiotic fermentation process. This paper describes the hazards posed by heavy metals effluents on the environment and use of various Streptomyces species to remove heavy metals from aqueous solution. Characterization of Streptomyces species, factors affecting biosorption, biosorption isotherms and biosorption kinetics is discussed. Graphical abstract

Abstract
Abstract A novel potentiometric cholesterol biosensor has been fabricated through the immobilization of the stabilized polymeric lipid membrane onto graphene electrode. The stabilized polymeric lipid membrane is composed of cholesterol oxidase enzyme and polymerization mixture; which holds paramount influence on the properties of the cholesterol biosensor. The presented biosensor reveals an appreciable reproducibility, good selectivity and high sensing capability with a linear slope curve of ∼64 mV per decade. The strong biocompatibility among stabilized polymeric lipid membranes and human biofluids provides the possibility to use for real blood samples and other biological applications. Graphical abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy for recurrent high-grade meningiomas
Authors: Kawabata Shinji , Hiramatsu Ryo , Kuroiwa Toshihiko , Ono Koji , Miyatake Shin-Ichi 
Published: June 2013

Object
Similar to glioblastomas, high-grade meningiomas are difficult pathologies to control. In this study, the authors used boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a tumor-selective intensive particle radiation modality, to treat high-grade meningioma.

Methods
From June 2005 to September 2011, BNCT was applied 28 times in 20 cases of recurrent high-grade meningioma. All patients had previously undergone intensive treatments such as repetitive surgeries and multiple sessions of radiation therapy. Fluorine-18–labeled boronophenylalanine (18F-BPA) PET was performed before BNCT in 19 of the 20 cases; BPA is itself a therapeutic compound. Compound uptake, tumor shrinkage, long-term control rate including survival time, and failure pattern of the treated patients were all evaluated.

Results
Eighteen of 19 cases studied using 18F-BPA PET showed good BPA uptake, with ratios of tumor to normal brain greater than 2.7. These ratios indicated the likely effects of BNCT prior to neutron irradiation. The original tumor sizes were between 4.3 cm3 and 109 cm3. A mean tumor volume reduction of 64.5% was obtained after BNCT within just 2 months. The median follow-up duration was 13 months. Six patients are still alive; at present, the median survival times after BNCT and diagnosis are 14.1 months (95% CI 8.6–40.4 months) and 45.7 months (95% CI 32.4–70.7 months), respectively. Clinical symptoms before BNCT, such as hemiparesis and facial pain, were improved after BNCT in symptomatic cases. Systemic metastasis, intracranial distant recurrence outside the radiation field, CSF dissemination, and local tumor progression were observed in 6, 7, 3, and 3 cases, respectively, during the clinical course. Apparent pseudoprogression was observed in at least 3 cases. Symptomatic radiation injuries occurred in 6 cases, and were controllable in all but 1 case.

Conclusions
Boron neutron capture therapy may be especially effective in cases of high-grade meningioma.
Measurement of Accelerometry-based Gait Parameters in People with and without Dementia in the Field
Authors: Wolf K.-H. , Kohlmann M. , Marschollek M. , Haux R. , Gietzelt M. 
Published: June 2013

SummaryBackground: Gait analyses are an important tool to diagnose diseases or to measure the rehabilitation process of patients. In this context, sensor-based systems, and especially accelerometers, gain in importance. They are able to improve objectiveness of gait analyses. In clinical settings, there is usually a supervisor who gives instructions to the patients, but this can have an influence on patients’ gait. It is expected that this effect will be smaller in field studies.Objective: Aim of this study was to capture and evaluate gait parameters measured by a single waist-mounted accelerometer during everyday life of subjects.Methods: Due to missing ground-truth in unsupervised conditions, another external criterion had to be chosen. Subjects of two different groups were considered: patients with dementia (DEM) and active older people (ACT). These groups were chosen, because of the expected difference in gait. The idea was to quantify the expected difference of accelerometric-based gait parameters. Gait parameters were e.g. velocity, step frequency, compensation movements, and variance of the accelerometric signal.Results: Ten subjects were measured in each group. The number of walking episodes captured was 1,187 (DEM) vs. 1,809 (ACT). The compensation and variance parameters showed an AUC value (Area Under the Curve) between 0.88 and 0.92. In contrast, velocity and step frequency performed poorly (AUC values of 0.51 and 0.55). It was possible to classify both groups using these parameters with an accuracy of 89.2%.Conclusion: The results showed a much higher amount of walking episodes in field studies compared to supervised clinical trials. The classification showed a high accuracy in distinguishing between both groups.
Reliability of In-hospital Mortality as a Quality Indicator in Clinical Quality Registries
Authors: Peek N. , de Jonge E. , Dongelmans D. , van Berkel G. , de Keizer N. , Koetsier A. 
Published: June 2013

SummaryObjectives: Errors in the registration or extraction of patient outcome data, such as in-hospital mortality, may lower the reliability of the quality indicator that uses this (partly) incorrect data. Our aim was to measure the reliability of in-hospital mortality registration in the Dutch National Intensive Care Evaluation (NICE) registry.Methods: We linked data of the NICE registry with an insurance claims database, resulting in a list of discrepancies in in-hospital mortality. Eleven Intensive Care Units (ICUs) were visited where local data sources were investigated to find the true in-hospital mortality status of the discrepancies and to identify the causes of the data errors in the NICE registry. Original and corrected Stand -ardized Mortality Ratios (SMRs) were calculated to determine if conclusions about quality of care changed compared to the national benchmark.Results: In eleven ICUs, 23,855 records with 460 discrepancies were identified of which 255 discrepancies (1.1% of all linked records) were due to incorrect in-hospital mortality registration in the NICE registry. Two programming errors in computer software of six ICUs caused 78% of errors, the remainder was caused by manual transcription errors and failure to record patient outcomes. For one ICU the performance became concordant with the national benchmark after correction, instead of being better.Conclusions: The reliability of in-hospital mortality registration in the NICE registry was good. This was reflected by the low number of data errors and by the fact that conclusions about the quality of care were only affected for one ICU due to systematic data errors. We recommend that registries frequently verify the software used in the registration process, and compare mortality data with an external source to assure consistent quality of data.
Du laboratoire scientifique à l'ordre constitutionnel
Authors: Laurent Brice 
Published: June 2013

Résumé Les études sociales des sciences ( Science and Technology Studies, STS) ont profondément transformé l’analyse de la représentation scientifique. D’une opération désignant la visualisation plus ou moins exacte d’une réalité physique stable, la représentation scientifique devient le résultat de la construction de chaines de médiations. Dans cette optique, la représentation est un processus instrumenté, dont les effets ont trait à l’existence même des objets concernés, et dont la validité dépend des espaces où elle circule. Cette perspective peut être adoptée pour décrire la représentation politique comprise comme le processus permettant de choisir les représentants. L’exemple de situations hybrides montre que la description en termes de chaîne de médiations n’est pas vouée à qualifier soit la « science », soit la « politique ». Les situations hybrides ne sont pas à étudier pour elle-même, mais en tant que composantes d’ordres constitutionnels dont la description doit mettre au jour l’articulation entre dispositifs de représentation.
Die formule (ἐν ΧρισΤῷ) as basis van die Pauliniese ekklesiologie
Authors: Botma Andre , Van Aarde Andries 
Published: June 2013

The formula (ἐν ΧρισΤῷ) as the basis of Pauline ecclesiology. This article is an attempt to interpret the Pauline formulaἐν ΧρισΤῷ. The argument proceeds from the thesis that the formula forms the basis of Pauline ecclesiology. Firstly, traditional interpretations of the formula are shown to be inadequate since they understand the phrase one-sidedly as a reference to the kerugma of the cross. It is argued instead, as a second step, that theformula should be understood in terms ofparticipation in the 'Jesus-Sache'. This expression encapsulates Paul's intention that the believer should 'become as Jesus was' Participation and reconciliation, ethics and Suffering thus cohere. In conclusion, the meaning of the formula ἐν ΧρισΤῷ is further explicated by juxtaposing it with the phrase ἐν ΧρισΤῷ The interpretation of the genitive as subjective implies that the believer should 'believe as Christ believed'. To participate in the 'Jesus-Sache' thus means to become part of the church.
Jesus deur die oe van In Marxis: In gesprek met Milan Macovec
Authors: Denton Rudy , Van Aarde Andries 
Published: June 2013

Jesus through the eyes of a Marxist: In conversation with Milan Machovec. Milan Machovec makes a contribution to our knowledge of Jesus by looking at the evidence about him through a Marxist lens. In his book 'A Marxist looks at Jesus', he attemps to understand, from a positive, yet still Marxist viewpoint, the essence of Jesus' message. He makes a radical, unbridgeable distinction between the Jesus of history and the kerygmatic Christ, between what he calls the 'image of the man Jesus of Nazareth' and the 'dogmatized image of Jesus Christ'. Machovec represents a Marxism that is somehow 'different'. He insists that genuine Marxist atheism is not a counter-dogma, not simply atheism turned upside down, but a matter of critical method.
Revisiting Matthew's Communities
Authors: Stanton Graham N. 
Published: June 2013

The article elaborates upon issues raised in the author's 1992 book, 'A 'Gospel for a New People: Studies in Matthew'. These issues concern the relationship of the first recipients of Matthew's gospel to local Jewish communities and the features of the internal life of the communities for which Matthew wrote. In the light of the complexity of reconstructing the social setting of Matthew's gospel, the article aims at locating it in the broadest possible context within early Judaism and early Christianity.
The Anglo-American Paradigm: Lost and Found in Current Theology
Authors: Stone Jerome A. 
Published: June 2013

The main Western paradigm involves: 1) dichotomous thinking, 2) valuing abstraction qnd stability, 3) the quest for certainty, 4) search for foundations and proper method, and 5) a precise language. Postmodernism often favors the mirror images of these five. There is a third approach in marry Anglo-American writers which involves neither alternatives. This article analyzes four contemporary theologians, two of whom, Mark C Taylor and George Lindbeck, are rooted in the newer tradition and two, Phil Hefner and Delwin Brown, in the Anglo-American. This essay may be considered a plea to avoid the traditional-postmodern dichotomy.
Die historiese ondersoek na Jesus van Nasaret in perspektief
Authors: Van Aarde Andries 
Published: June 2013

Historical Jesus research in perspective. The quest for the historical Jesus has been a vitally central topic in New Testament scholarship. The article aims at explaining to non-scholars some of the premisses and methods of this historical critical enterprise. Issues concerning the question about who the 'real' Jesus is, the relevance of the quest seen from the angles of both the church and the university, the nature of historical inquiry and criteria applied in historical Jesus research, and the resurrection and the virginal conception are discussed. The article is written from the assumption that the Jesus who matters is both the Jesus of history and the Jesus of faith. It is shown that historical investigation reveals trajectories respectively with regard to reports about the resurrection and the virgininal conception of Jesus in the New Testament and with regard to creedal statements.
Die prediking oor die eindoordeel

Published: June 2013

Preaching on the last judgement.This article deplores the fact that the theologumenon 'last judgement' has become a museum piece. It seeks to stimulate a new debate on this topic. The author is convinced that this theologumenon is a central topic of the Jewish-Christian" religion and should therefore be actualised in such a way that it again can become part of the living faith of the church. The author enters into discussion with Moltmann about God's actions in this world, with Pannenberg about the criterion of the judgement and with Kung about eternal punishment.
