Too comfortable? Some misgivings about the social turn in contemporary art
Authors: Spiers Amy 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Visual artist Amy Spiers has been making participatory and socially engaged art since 2006. Her article explores her own evolving understanding of community and social engagement through a critical reflection of a number of her artworks over the last few years. She describes how theorists Rosalyn Deutsche, Miwon Kwon and Claire Bishop, have looked to theories of radical and plural democracy, particularly Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau’s concept of antagonism, to reveal the political shortcomings of much socially engaged art. She finishes the article by explaining how these theoretical underpinnings have impacted her art practice and advocates for a more destabilizing approach to socially engaged and participatory art practices.

Abstractis a marsupial with unique morphological and ecological characteristics. Owing mainly to its semi-aquatic habits, it is rarely collected by conventional methods, being consequently underrepresented in scientific collections. Its distribution in South America is currently considered disjunct, with a north-west and a south-east portion, and a large gap of more than one thousand kilometers that comprises central Amazonia and a large portion of the Cerrado. On the basis of four museum specimens and two photographed live animals, we present six new records for the species. These records extend the species’ distribution, showing that its range is continuous from southern Amazonia and through Cerrado gallery forests, to the southern portion of its range in southeastern South America.

HDAC4 promotes Pax7‐dependent satellite cell activation and muscle regeneration

Published: September 2014

AbstractDuring muscle regeneration, the transcription factor Pax7 stimulates the differentiation of satellite cells (SCs) toward the muscle lineage but restricts adipogenesis. Here, we identify HDAC4 as a regulator of Pax7‐dependent muscle regeneration. In HDAC4‐deficient SCs, the expression of Pax7 and its target genes is reduced. We identify HDAC4‐regulated Lix1 as a Pax7 target gene required for SC proliferation. HDAC4 inactivation leads to defective SC proliferation, muscle regeneration, and aberrant lipid accumulation. Further, expression of the brown adipose master regulator Prdm16 and its inhibitory microRNA‐133 are also deregulated. Thus, HDAC4 is a novel regulator of Pax7‐dependent SC proliferation and potentially fate determination in regenerating muscle.
Biology, Behavior, and Larval Morphology of Salbia lotanalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a Potential Biological Control Agent of Miconia calvescens (Myrtales: Melastomataceae) from Costa Rica
Authors: Castillo Alexander , Johnson M Tracy , Badenes-Pérez Francisco R 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
The leaf roller Salbia lotanalis Druce (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a potential biological control agent of Miconia calvescens de Candolle (Melastomataceae), was studied in Costa Rica. Larvae were collected from a field site near San José and the insect was reared in the laboratory to study its biology and behavior. Chaetotaxy and morphology of final-instar larvae were described. Using head capsule width measurements, we determined five larval instars in S. lotanalis. The insect was easily reared in the laboratory on M. calvescens seedlings and the life cycle of the insect was completed in 71.3 and 66.4 d for females and males, respectively. Dissection of ovarioles indicated that females could lay&gt;400 eggs. Larvae are initially gregarious, but become solitary as third instars. First- to fourth-instar larvae prefer to use leaf rolls already formed by other larvae, but fifth-instar larvae prefer to make a new leaf roll rather than using leaf rolls already made and occupied by other larvae. Pupation occurs in leaves, where prepupae build a pupation chamber. Host-specificity tests, including larval feeding tests and two-choice and no-choice oviposition experiments in the laboratory, indicate that S. lotanalis has a narrow host range restricted to Miconia spp. and other Melastomaceae. Levels of parasitism in the native habitat of S. lotanalis in Costa Rica were low. In locations like Hawaii, where there are no native Melastomataceae, S. lotanalis has the potential of being an effective biological control agent against M. calvescens, but interference from resident natural enemies of Lepidoptera could be high.
Sense of Coherence and Childbearing: A Scoping Review of the Literature
Authors: Ferguson Sally , Davis Deborah , Browne Jenny , Taylor Jan 
Published: September 2014

OBJECTIVE: To undertake a scoping review of the literature to understand how a woman’s sense of coherence (SOC) score affects her childbearing.METHOD: Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were searched to identify articles published in English from 2000 to 2014 using combinations of specified search terms. Included articles were assessed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme.FINDINGS: This scoping review identified 15 studies focusing on SOC scores and childbearing. Childbearing women with strong SOC were less likely to smoke and more likely to seek out useful support compared to women with low SOC. Women with strong SOC demonstrated increased emotional health, experiencing less depression, anxiety, stress, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Women with strong SOC were more likely to experience uncomplicated birth and birth at home, identify normal birth as their preferred birth option in pregnancy and identify a desire to avoid epidural anesthesia in labor compared to women with low SOC.CONCLUSION: This scoping review of the literature identified significant associations between strong SOC and positive childbearing, including increased emotional health, improved health behaviors, and increased normal birth choices and outcomes.
An Exploratory Survey of Low-Risk Pregnant Women’s Perceptions of Antenatal Care and Services in Southern Ireland
Authors: Murphy Annette , Wells John , Chesser-Smyth Patricia , Sheahan Linda , Foley Michelle 
Published: September 2014

Ireland currently has the highest birthrate of the 27 European Union countries which has led to an increase in demand for maternity services. In the Irish Republic, most maternity units have traditionally followed the medical-led model of care, which, as a result, has limited women’s choice for maternity care. Although various different midwifery-led schemes are available, concerns exist regarding the knowledge and accessibility of these schemes.The aim of this descriptive, exploratory survey was to explore and determine the views of “low-risk” pregnant women (n= 394) regarding their antenatal care and services. A purposive homogeneous sample comprised the first phase of a mixed methods study and data were analyzed using Predictive Analytics Software. The findings identified a lack of awareness and understanding of the concept of a low-risk pregnancy. Consequently, women identified an overall lack of information and an inability to access available options for their care.
New ophiolite slivers in the External Rif belt, and tentative restoration of a dual Tethyan suture in the western Maghrebides

Published: September 2014

AbstractOphiolite slivers have been described recently in the core of the External zones of the Central Rif belt. The present work aims at illustrating new ophiolite slivers further east and discussing the structural position and tectonic emplacement of all these oceanic floor remnants. Their basement consists of gabbros previously dated at 166±3 Ma and their cover includes mafic breccias, micrites and radiolarites. These oceanic slivers are located within the Mesorif nappe stack at the bottom of the Senhadja nappe that roots beneath the Intrarif Ketama unit and was thrust over the more external Mesorif and Prerif units during the Cenozoic inversion of the North African paleomargin. These oceanic crust (OC) slivers belong to the same Mesorif suture zone as the Beni Malek serpentinites and Ait Amrâne metabasites from eastern Rif that also include marbles with ophiolitic clasts and derive from an ocean-continent transition (OCT) domain. After examination of the varied hypotheses that have been suggested to account for the emplacement of these units in the External Rif, we propose that obduction sampled an oceanic corridor opened between the Mesorif and Intrarif domains at the emplacement of the Rif Triassic evaporite basin. The Intrarif block should have been then separated from the African passive margin and connected with the Flysch domain south of the passive margin of the Alboran domain. The pre-collision structure of the Rif transect would involve two hyper-extended passive margins separated by a narrow oceanic transform fault corridor. Therefore the Tethys suture in the western Maghrebides would be split by the Intrarif block and would involve the Flysch zone in the north and the ophiolite bearing Mesorif suture zone in the south.
Comparison of Visual and Refractive Outcomes Following Femtosecond Laser-Assisted LASIK With SMILE in Patients With Myopia or Myopic Astigmatism
Authors: Ganesh Sri , Gupta Rishika 
Published: September 2014

PURPOSE:
To compare the visual and refractive outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK with small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in terms of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, aberrations, and dry eye.

METHODS:
A single-center prospective randomized study in which patients diagnosed as having myopia presenting for refractive correction were allocated to either a LASIK or SMILE group. The primary outcome measures were refractive efficacy, predictability, and safety, postoperative contrast sensitivity, aberrations, and dry eye status. Patients were followed up at days 1 and 15 and 3 months; postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), aberrations, dry eye, and contrast sensitivity were recorded and compared to preoperative data. Two postoperative subjective questionnaires were used to assess pain, pricking sensation, redness, glare, and overall patient satisfaction.

RESULTS:

At day 1 postoperatively, 48 (96%) of 50 eyes in the SMILE group achieved a UCVA of 20/20 compared with 46 (92%) of 50 eyes in the LASIK group. At day 15 postoperatively, contrast sensitivity was similar in the two groups (
P
= .15), but by 3 months, it was better in the SMILE group than the LASIK group at all spatial frequencies (
P
< .0001). At 3 months postoperatively, 42 (84%) eyes in each group achieved a UCVA of 20/20, with 6 (12%) eyes in the SMILE group and 2 (4%) eyes in the LASIK group achieving 20/15. Higher-order aberrations at 3 months postoperatively were significantly higher in the LASIK group (0.437 ± 0.103 µm) than in the SMILE group (0.267 ± 0.07 µm;
P
< .001). Postoperative dry eye and glare were significantly more common following LASIK (
P
< .001).

CONCLUSIONS:
Three-month results demonstrate that refractive accuracy, dry eye, contrast, and induced aberrations are better following SMILE rather than LASIK.

Impactos sobre a economia brasileira ocasionados pela abertura comercial ocorrida na década de 90 nos setores têxteis e de artigos de vestuário: uma análise de equilíbrio geral
Authors: Pavão Andressa Rodrigues , Campos Silvia Kanadani 
Published: September 2014

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o efeito de uma queda de preços de20% em têxteis e artigos de vestuário, no período entre 1996 e 2007, paralelamenteao aumento das tarifas de importação de 17,8% em artigos de vestuário (políticaimplementada em 2007). Foi utilizado um modelo de equilíbrio geral com baseem dados da matriz insumo-produto de 1996 (IBGE). Observou-se que a Indústriatêxtil foi a mais diretamente penalizada, sobretudo na produção e geração de empregos.A indústria de vestuário vivenciou uma redução de custos de sua principalmatéria-prima, o que, no curto prazo, beneficiou sua produção. Embora no curtoprazo os efeitos para a economia brasileira tenham sido de modo geral benéficos,com o aumento do emprego e do consumo das famílias, no longo prazo, houve quedados salários e do consumo das mesmas. Além disso, tanto no curto quanto no longo prazo houve queda do PIB real.
