Authors: Zerwes Sebastian , Nurzai Zmarai , Leissner Giesbert , Kroencke Thomas , Bruijnen Hans-Kees , Jakob Rudolf , Woelfle Klaus 
Published: October 2015

Objective In the present study, 50 EVAS procedures were evaluated in regard to primary (survival and technical success) and secondary (device-related complications) events of interest. Methods The single center study was conducted from July 2013 to August 2014 with prospective collection of the clinical data. The clinical results were controlled by CT angiography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound . Results The technical success was 98% and the 30-day mortality 4%. One (2%) patient died from multisystem organ failure and another patient from an intracranial bleeding, respectively. One patient (2%) suffered from a device-related aneurysm rupture. During early follow-up, one (2%) patient developed an endoleak type II, while three (6%) patients suffered from a partial endograft limb thrombosis. Overall, a secondary intervention was necessary in six (12%) patients. Conclusions With the Nellix EVAS system, a high primary technical success of 98% was achieved; one (2%) patient developed an endoleak type II which did not require secondary intervention. Those promising results are contrasted by a substantial rate of endograft limb thromboses (8%) and one (2%) intraoperative aneurysm rupture. Further studies are needed to assess the durability of the Nellix stentgraft and the occurrence of device-related complications.
The Rate of Depression Screening at a Federally Qualified Community Health Center
Authors: Maimone Richard M. , Marhatta Asha 
Published: October 2015

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the rate of depression screening among patients, aged 19 and older, seen at a community health center, while referencing to US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) screening recommendations. Methods: A random sample of 500 patients, aged 19 and older, were extracted from the total number of patients seen at the community health center, between December 1, 2013, and April 30, 2014. The rate of depression screening was calculated by analyzing the completed standardized screening questionnaires (Patient Health Questionnaire 2). Results: On analysis, it was found that 14.6% of patients were screened for depression. The rate of screening for males was 8.4% and for females it was 17.5%. The race with the highest rate of screening was Asian at 23.2%, and the lowest rate was white at 12.8%. Conclusion: The studied community health center had a suboptimal rate of depression screening at 14.6%. The USPSTF recommends depression screening on all adults. Addressing barriers to screening including patient education, provider education, system practices, and provision of resources may help improve the rate of depression screening, leading to early treatment and better health outcomes.
Distributions of air pollutants associated with oil and natural gas development measured in the Upper Green River Basin of Wyoming

Abstract
Diffusive sampler monitoring techniques were employed during wintertime studies from 2009 to 2012 to assess the spatial distribution of air pollutants associated with the Pinedale Anticline and Jonah Field oil and natural gas (O&NG) developments in the Upper Green River Basin, Wyoming. Diffusive sampling identified both the extent of wintertime ozone (O3) episodes and the distributions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and a suite of 13 C5+ volatile organic compounds (VOC), including BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene isomers), allowing the influence of different O&NG emission sources to be determined. Concentration isopleth mapping of both diffusive sampler and continuous O3 measurements show the importance of localized production and advective transport. As for O3, BTEX and NOx mixing ratios within O&NG development areas were elevated compared to background levels, with localized hotspots also evident. One BTEX hotspot was related to an area with intensive production activities, while a second was located in an area influenced by emissions from a water treatment and recycling facility. Contrastingly, NOx hotspots were at major road intersections with relatively high traffic flows, indicating influence from vehicular emissions. Comparisons of observed selected VOC species ratios at a roadside site in the town of Pinedale with those measured in O&NG development areas show that traffic emissions contribute minimally to VOCs in these latter areas. The spatial distributions of pollutant concentrations identified by diffusive sampling techniques have potential utility for validation of emission inventories that are combined with air quality modeling.
Surgical site infection in elderly patients with hip fractures, silver-coated versus regular dressings: a randomised prospective trial
Authors: Kadar A. , Eisenberg G. , Yahav E. , Drexler M. , Salai M. , Steinberg E.L. 
Published: October 2015

Objective: Surgical site infection (SSI) after hip fracture surgery is a well-known complication with serious consequences for both the patient and the medical system. Silver ion treatment is considered an effective antibacterial agent, however, the use of silver dressing (SD) in the primary prevention of SSIs is controversial. The aims of this study were to compare SD with regular dressing (RD) in the prevention of SSI in elderly patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures, and to compare costs. Method: A matched group of 55 patients with hip fractures undergoing surgery with dynamic hip screw, cephalomedullary nail or hemiarthroplasty were randomised to either SD or RD groups. The dressings were applied in the operating theatre, and the patients were followed for one week for clinical signs of infection (discharge, erythema and fever). The RDs were replaced daily. The SDs were not removed for 5–7 days and kept moist. Skin swabs were taken from the wound surface on postoperative day 5–7 for bacterial skin colonisation. Results: The SD (n=31) and RD (n=24) groups were similar in age, sex and comorbidities. Infection signs were seen in two (2/31, 6.4%) of the SD patients compared with 2 (2/24, 8.3%) RD patients (p=1.0). Skin colonisation by bacteria at postoperative day 5–7 was tested in 27 patients: it was higher in the SD group (positive skin swab, 12/19, 63.2%) compared to the RD group (4/8, 50%, p=0.67). The use of SD added ~US$5 (UK ~£3.19) per patient. Conclusion: The use of SD was associated with higher costs than RD, but not superior in preventing SSIs in elderly patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty or fixation of hip fractures. SD was also not effective in reducing bacterial skin colonisation following hip fracture and surgery.
Thirty centimetres above the ground: The regulation length for Greek skirts during the dictatorship of General Theodoros Pangalos, 1925–19261
Authors: Pichou Myrsini , Kapartziani Chrysoula 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Law is an instrument by which political power is exercised and protected. Moreover the emphasis of the instrumental use of law often assumes or implies that the state is able to achieve its goals. Law, through its enforcement, fulfils the goal of social control. Under the guise of efforts to preserve morality and order, authoritarian regimes often apply the strangest of laws and regulations. In Greece, the General Theodoros Pangalos during his dictatorship (1925–1926) applied a regulation in order to control the length of women’s skirts. Much to the astonishment of the Greek urban society – and to the content of the seamstresses – on 1 December 1925 it was announced that it would be forbidden for all women, when in public, to wear skirts with hemlines that would deviate from the ground more than 30 centimetres! Otherwise, the offenders would be prosecuted. What were the reasons behind the application of this regulation? How did it circumvent civil and social rights? How was it received by the public? How is fashion related to the freedom of expression and how do fashion trends move from being merely objectionable to illegal? These are the main questions that this article will try to answer.
Wool you wear it? – Woollen garments in Norway and the United Kingdom
Authors: Hebrok Marie , Klepp Ingun G. , Turney Joanne 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This article was developed from the project ‘Valuing Norwegian Wool’ initiated by the Norwegian National Institute for Consumer Research to generate knowledge on how wool can contribute to sustainable textile consumption, and how value creation can be increased in the Norwegian wool industry. The article will compare consumer perceptions, attitudes, practices and knowledge concerning wool as a material and as garments in Norway and in the United Kingdom, through a case study of wardrobes owned by six middle-class families. The aim is to generate knowledge about the diverse web of aspects that influence consumption of woollen garments. The wardrobe study as a method aims to include the materiality of garments in clothes research in a more direct way. Analysing the materiality in connection with the social and cultural aspects of clothes gives us a better understanding of the relations between materiality and practice.
‘Photographed at the Royal Festival Hall’ ... discursive constructions of dress, time and space in post-war British fashion media
Authors: McDowell Felice 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This article discusses how the Royal Festival Hall (RFH) was featured as a location in editorial photo-spreads published in British fashion periodicals Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar throughout 1952.1 It invites another way of looking at the RFH, an often-celebrated architectural icon of British post-war history and democratic achievement. This article focuses upon the spatiality of the fashion magazine and addresses how this particular object context can aid the historical analysis of fashion imagery, and representations of space. Here a history of fashion, dress codes, femininity, modern architecture and post-war public cultural space is garnered within the sequential layout of the fashion magazine page.
Model of Islamic Counseling in Developing Students’ Competencies in MAN 1 Bandung
Authors: Nursyamsi Nursyamsi 
Published: October 2015

Students’ interpersonal problems with their peers, parents, and teachers have become more critical in the present society that serious attention must be paid to overcome it. Therefore, Islamic counseling model which is derived from the Quranic principles has been developed to sustain the wealthy condition of individual students. The purpose of this research is to develop an effective Islamic counseling model that may increase students’ interpersonal competency in MAN I Bandung. To achieve such a purpose, then, a Research and Development (RD) through need assessment, development, experiment, and model revise were set up. A quasi – experiment with “Pretest – Posttest Control Group Designs” procedure has been implemented to test the model being developed. The finding showed that the level of student’s interpersonal competency before the treatment varied greatly. The post-test score after the treatment, however, showed that their interpersonal competencies got significantly improved. This improvement suggests that student’s interpersonal competency should be developed in terms of: self perceptive and other people, self firm, become comfortable with one self and other people, become independent person, realistic expectation to oneself and other people, and self protection in interpersonal situations.Keywords: Islamic Counseling Model and Interpersonal CompetencyCopyright © 2015 by Al-Ta'lim All right reserved
Associations Between Prediabetes, by Three Different Diagnostic Criteria, and Incident CVD Differ in South Asians and Europeans
Authors: Eastwood Sophie V. , Tillin Therese , Sattar Naveed , Forouhi Nita G. , Hughes Alun D. , Chaturvedi Nish 
Published: October 2015

OBJECTIVE
We examined longitudinal associations between prediabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) (coronary heart disease [CHD] and stroke) in Europeans and South Asians.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This was a U.K. cohort study of 1,336 Europeans and 1,139 South Asians, aged 40–69 years at baseline (1988–1991). Assessment included blood pressure, blood tests, anthropometry, and questionnaires. Prediabetes was determined by OGTT or HbA1c, using either International Expert Committee (IEC) (HbA1c 6.0–6.5% [42–48 mmol/mol]) or American Diabetes Association (ADA) (HbA1c 5.7–6.5% [39–48 mmol/mol]) cut points. Incident CHD and stroke were established at 20 years from death certification, hospital admission, primary care record review, and participant report.

RESULTS
Compared with normoglycemic individuals, IEC-defined prediabetes was related to both CHD and CVD risk in Europeans but not South Asians (subhazard ratio for CHD 1.68 [95% CI 1.19, 2.38] vs. 1.00 [0.75, 1.33], ethnicity interaction P = 0.008, and for CVD 1.49 [1.08, 2.07] vs. 1.03 [0.78, 1.36], ethnicity interaction P = 0.04). Conversely, IEC-defined prediabetes was associated with stroke risk in South Asians but not Europeans (1.73 [1.03, 2.90] vs. 0.85 [0.44, 1.64], ethnicity interaction P = 0.11). Risks were adjusted for age, sex, smoking, total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, and antihypertensive use. Associations were weaker for OGTT or ADA-defined prediabetes. Conversion from prediabetes to diabetes was greater in South Asians, but accounting for time to conversion did not account for these ethnic differences.

CONCLUSIONS
Associations between prediabetes and CVD differed by prediabetes diagnostic criterion, type of CVD, and ethnicity, with associations being present for overall CVD in Europeans but not South Asians. Substantiation of these findings and investigation of potential explanations are required.
Boring Through History: An Environmental History of the Extent, Impact and Management of Marine Woodborers in a Global and Local Context, 500 BCE to 1930s CE
Authors: Rayes Courtney A. , Beattie James , Duggan Ian C. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
While depictions of mariners fighting fearsome sea monsters or battling terrifying storms entertain us to this day, it is perhaps ironic that one of the main threats to commerce over the last millennium or more has come from a series of very small organisms whose history has been submerged in historical accounts. Despite their marked long-term and large-scale impacts on global marine infrastructure, shipping and economies, shipworms, pillbugs and gribbles - collectively referred to as marine woodborers - have received no substantial scholarly attention from environmental historians. This article first overviews their historical spread around the world, demonstrating, too, their disruption of global travel and trade, then traces past problems and management attempts in New Zealand from the arrival of the first humans, c.1300, to the 1930s. New Zealand presents a particularly rich study demonstrating the spread, impacts and management responses to marine woodborers. Until the more widespread and successful use from the 1900s of both ferro-concrete pilings and chromated copper arsenate (CCA) as a wood preservative, colonists in different parts of New Zealand unknowingly experimented with techniques which had failed elsewhere in the country. A longstanding inability to learn from past failures in nineteenth-century New Zealand demonstrates the lack of co-ordinated application of management techniques in the colony, and suggests both the fragmentation of colonial knowledge and the limitations of colonial science, as new ideas were introduced at a local level rather than nationally. Due to the overwhelming attention given to globalisation's role in spreading terrestrial plants and animals - and to a lesser extent aquatic freshwater fishes - an examination of the extent and response to marine woodborers provides significant new perspectives on the neglected subject of non-indigenous marine organisms.
'It is no use advising us! Command us and we will obey': Livestock Management, Soil Conservation and the State in Southern Rhodesia, c.1930-50
Authors: Mwatwara Wesley , Swart Sandra 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This article examines state imposed centralisation and soil conservation policies as pursued by the Southern Rhodesian Department of Native Agriculture, and argues that these were at variance with the state's own veterinary policies. It argues that in the 1930s the state failed to deal with the contradictions caused by shifting and competing agendas between the Departments of Native Affairs, Native Development, Entomology and Veterinary Services. This was compounded by the implicit and enduring acceptance by officials that the problems were precipitated almost exclusively by 'primitive' African farming practices. This resulted in the state's resuscitating in the 1940s the ideology of livestock improvement first conceptualised in 1912 and introducing compulsory destocking from 1945. It concludes that these intrusive latter measures had a significant impact on the African rural socio-political and physical landscape in general and livestock management practices in particular.
S econd life, les enjeux d’une création

Published: October 2015

Les univers virtuels et plus particulièrement Second Life peuvent représenter pour leurs utilisateurs des espaces de projection, aire intermédiaire entre le subjectif et ce qui est objectivement perçu. Terrain de création et d’expérimentation, il permet à ses utilisateurs d’y exprimer une partie d’eux-mêmes à travers la construction d’avatar (double virtuel) et son évolution dans cette « seconde vie ». Ainsi, ces travaux de recherches s’interrogent sur la résonance que peut avoir l’utilisation des univers virtuels pour un sujet.
Le féminin à l’adolescence
Authors: Bentata Hervé 
Published: October 2015

Si le passage adolescent comprend la nécessité d’accéder à sa féminité ou sa masculinité, dans cette phase difficile, les difficultés rencontrées ne sont pas les mêmes suivant les sexes. Les craintes et les souffrances névrotiques concernant le féminin entravent la vie sociale et affective de ces jeunes. Cette situation est parfois d’autant plus désolante que le machisme qui en découle affecte aussi la vie de leurs compagnes… Et si information et éducation sexuelles restent le plus souvent sans effet sur ce « complexe du féminin », une aide psychothérapique avertie peut être précieuse pour ces jeunes. Cependant, ces angoisses concernant le féminin ne renvoient pas toujours à des problématiques névrotiques mais concernent parfois de réels problèmes d’identité sexuelle, voire l’assise même de la personnalité des adolescents, laissant craindre de possibles évolutions psychotiques ou bien des problématiques dites « borderline ». Comme le montre l’analyse de la pièce de théâtre de Frank Wedekind L’éveil du printemps , dans de telles situations, des passages à l’acte suicidaire graves peuvent se produire. D’où l’importance clinique du repérage de ces jeunes à risque et leur accompagnement.
Une adolescence d’exception
Authors: Mansouri Malika 
Published: October 2015

Penser les révoltes de ceux que l’on nomme indéfiniment « français d’origine étrangère » implique de questionner ce qui préside à l’être-ensemble actuel : le colonial et son cortège de violences réelles et symboliques, doublés d’un déni du collectif. Malgré tous les silences, le temps n’efface pas les « débris » d’histoires traumatiques qui façonnent une part importante du psychisme des humains. Les descendants du colonial, héritiers d’une situation d’exception, en savent quelque chose, dans l’intime, de ce que c’est que d’être en position de se sentir assujetti. Quelles solutions, dans le temps de l’adolescence, pour ces légataires de l’exception républicaine ?
Adolescents autistes pris en charge en hôpital de jour
Authors: Chocron Michael , Bancilhon Julien 
Published: October 2015

Dans le cadre de la prise en charge de jeunes autistes sont inclus, depuis plusieurs années, deux dispositifs, l’un mixte, l’autre non, ayant pour but de fournir un lieu d’élaboration pour les questions tournant autour de la sexualité. L’article témoigne de cette expérience et des réflexions formulées à son propos. Il ne s’agit pas de groupe de parole mais de communication sur le thème de la sexualité, de la différence garçon-fille avec l’objectif de ne pas laisser ces questions être traitées uniquement dans le cadre familial. On peut noter l’utilisation de poupées sexuées, de représentations par le théâtre. Mais force est de constater avec les auteurs « que ce soit au nom d’une vie psychique qui serait restée bloquée dans la période infantile, ou au nom d’un âge mental prétendument trop bas pour accéder à une vie affective et sexuelle, que le débat est souvent maintenu dans une forme de puritanisme qui participe du cloisonnement des savoirs et d’un avancement à tout petits pas ».
Sexualité adolescente et prise en charge institutionnelle
Authors: Albertini Laetitia , Birnesser Juliette , Motteau Clara 
Published: October 2015

Composante essentielle du difficile parcours de maturation/construction identitaire à l’adolescence, la dimension sexuelle reste pourtant aujourd’hui trop souvent mal comprise, voire mal « traitée » par les équipes médico-socio-éducatives en charge d’adolescents. Entre les deux extrêmes positions défensives que constituent la banalisation totale et l’interdiction arbitraire, quelles sont les possibles voies d’accompagnement ? Comment éviter les dangereux écueils de la complicité incestuelle et du déni/clivage ? Aux prises avec ces questions depuis la création de son Unité Soins Intégration Scolaire, c’est au jour le jour que l’équipe pluri-disciplinaire de psychothérapie institutionnelle de la Clinique de Saumery construit ses repères, et tente d’apporter matière à réflexion dans un contexte général par ailleurs fortement marqué par les polémiques entourant les enjeux sociétaux d’identité de genre.
3D Interconnect: The Challenges Ahead
Authors: Prior Brandon 
Published: October 2015

3D package solutions now account for a significant portion (~20%) of all die area processed today. Most all of this is still assembled in standard package configurations (FBGA, SO, MicroSD, etc) using wirebond interconnect. This paper will look at the many current technologies that have been adopted to enable 3D, and understand what the next steps will be to enable true die to die interconnection in a cost effective manner.
Recent examples of various technologies from Fan-out WL-CSP, TSV for image sensors and MEMS, and other 3D concepts will be shown to highlight advantages and disadvantages of these emerging technologies. Prismark's roadmap for 3D adoption will be compared to previous new technology roadmaps to demonstrate the history of older technologies' ability to hang on to market share.
