History of Development and Terrestrialization of Lake Starowlany in the Eemian Interglacial Based on Cladocera Analysis (Sokόłka Hills, Ne Poland)
Authors: Niska Monika , Kołodziej Anna 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
This paper presents development of the paleolake Starowlany existing in the Eemian Interglacial (MIS 5e) in north - eastern Poland. The lake history is based on Cladocera analysis. The paleolake Starowlany is located in the central part of the Sokółka Hills, approximately 9 km north of the town of Sokółka in the North Podlasie Lowland. The sediments studied filled a southern part of a tunnel valley formed during the Warta Glaciation. The coring was carried out with a geological drilling and constituted a part of the frame work aimed at preparing the Sokółka sheet for the Detailed Geological Map of Poland in scale 1:50000. The core was 7 m long. Peaty silt, peats and organic silt were present at the depth of 4.0-6.6 m, under deluvial sands, tills and silt. Organic series was over lain by a clayey silt with no glacial cover. Cladocera analysis was conducted with 20 samples from a depth interval 6.6-4.1 m. Remains of 17 species of Cladocera were found, representing the families: Chydoridae, Sididae and Bosminidae. A vast majority of them were the littoral species. In the paleolake Starowlany four development zones were distinguished that reflected changes as regards temperature, trophic levels and changes of water level in the lake. The paleolake existed from the early until the middle Eemian. The high est water level and the most favorable conditions for zooplankton development occurred in zones SCZ I and II. The highest trophic level took place in SCZ III (middle Eemian). In the late Eemian the water level dropped and the paleolake was transformed into a wetland. At certain points, the higher water level enabled existence of a few Cladocera species. The reasons for disappearance of the paleolake Starowlany included a local decrease in ground water levels as well as morphometric and geological characteristics of the lake.

Abstract
Agar-Newman, DJ, Goodale, TL, and Klimstra, MD. Anthropometric and Physical Qualities of International Level Female Rugby Sevens Athletes Based on Playing Position. J Strength Cond Res 31(5): 1346–1352, 2017—The purpose of this study was to profile international level female sevens athletes and determine whether anthropometric and physical qualities are able to differentiate between backs and forwards. Twenty-four subjects with a mean (±SD) age of 22.8 ± 4.0 years and body weight of 69.4 ± 5.2 kg were sampled from a national team training program, ranked in the top 3 on the IRB Women's Sevens World Series. Anthropometric (height, body mass, and sum of 7 skinfolds) and performance measures (power clean, front squat, bench press, neutral grip pull-up, 40-m sprint, and 1,600-m run) were collected across the 2013–2014 centralized period and compared across playing position. The 13 backs (mean age ± SD = 21.3 ± 3.5 years) and 11 forwards (mean age ± SD = 24.5 ± 4.0 years) had significant differences in body mass (66.40 ± 3.48 vs. 72.87 ± 4.79 kg) and initial sprint momentum (366.8 ± 19.8 vs. 399.2 ± 22.4 kg·m·s−1). However no other measures showed positional differences. The lack of positional differences in female rugby sevens may be due to the multifarious physical requirements of a sevens athlete, leading to a generic athletic profile, or perhaps due to a lack of selective pressure. Also, it is conceivable that the anthropometric and physical qualities measured in this study lacked the necessary precision or failed to capture the unique attributes of each position. In conclusion, this is the first investigation profiling international level female sevens athletes. The normative data presented within this article highlight the physical requirements of female sevens athletes for strength and conditioning practitioners. In addition, the lack of positional differences discovered should impact the training program design.
Quantifying Timing of Return to Traffic for Asphalt Cement Based Full Depth Reclamation Mixtures in the Laboratory
Authors: Hill Robert , Braham Andrew 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Full depth reclamation (FDR) is a pavement structure rehabilitation technique that uses in-place material to build structural capacity of a roadway. By mixing together 8–12 in. of pavement structure with a binding agent, a higher structural capacity can be achieved. However, there is often a period of time prior to the binding agent fully curing where traffic is released to the FDR before a surface course is applied. In this research, five laboratory testing devices attempted to quantify how asphalt cement based FDR builds resistance to raveling during this traffic. Four in-house designed and built testing devices were compared to the existing cold in-place recycling raveling test. Factors explored during evaluation included curing time (0–48 h), binding agent (asphalt emulsion and asphalt foam), and curing condition (ambient temperature and 40°C). In general, all five testing devices showed a decrease in potential raveling with longer curing times using an asphalt emulsion binding agent at ambient curing temperatures. Asphalt emulsion FDR showed higher resistance to raveling than asphalt foam FDR at ambient curing temperatures, but curing at 40°C did not give conclusive evidence on resistance to raveling versus ambient curing temperatures. Finally, this testing was applied in the laboratory to give a general indication of the performance of each testing device; therefore, the testing devices need to be taken into the field to verify these initial laboratory findings and to begin building correlations between the lab test results and actual raveling susceptibility in the field.
Wavelet Analysis With Different Frequency GPR Antennas for Bridge Health Assessment
Authors: Kilic Gokhan , Unluturk Mehmet S. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
This study presents an examination and a presentation of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) on a heavily used high-speed railway bridge in Turkey. This study also considers GPR mapping using two different antennas (2 GHz and 500 MHz), and their reliability in terms of locating subsurface features, such as rebar (lower and upper reinforcement) and the presence of moisture. Moreover, GPR interesting results in terms of the structural crack locations by detecting discontinuities and breakdowns in the wavelets' travel with the incorporation of wavelet analysis into the process of the collected raw data of the high-speed railway bridge under survey. This study promotes the GPR and the wavelet analyses in the health monitoring and assessment of bridge structures. By increasing insight into the kinds of structural deterioration that can occur in structures, such as high-speed railway bridges, this study also has implications for the process of tool selection in structural inspection. The wavelet analysis can be used as an effective tool in analyzing and presenting the results of the GPR survey.

Authors: Narita Fumio , Shikanai Koji , Shindo Yasuhide , Mori Kotaro 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
This paper numerically and experimentally investigated the three-point bending fracture behavior of cracked giant magnetostrictive materials under magnetic fields. Three-point bending fracture tests were carried out using the single-edge precracked-beam (SEPB) specimens, and the fracture loads were measured under magnetic fields. The crack was created normal to the direction of easy magnetization. Plane strain finite element analysis (FEA) was also performed, and the effect of magnetic fields on the energy release rate and on the apparent fracture toughness (critical energy release rate obtained using the fracture load) was discussed in detail. To the author's knowledge, this work is the first attempt to study the effect of magnetic fields on the fracture behavior of giant magnetostrictive materials.
Measurement of Properties of Cutting Fluids With CAPB (Vegetable Based Emulsifier)
Authors: Srikant R. R. , Venkata Ramana V. S. N. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Cutting fluids have been used in machining for over two centuries. However, different environmental issues associated with them have limited their application. Although vegetable based cutting fluids are formulated, vegetable based emulsifier is not found in the literature. In the present work, cutting fluids containing both vegetable based emulsifier and vegetable oil were formulated and different properties of the formulated fluids were measured as per ASTM standards to estimate the applicability of the fluids in machining.
‘Some kind of innocence’
Authors: Kirkup Mike 
Published: September 2015

The Beatles Book had been overlooked in both academic research and popular biographies of the Beatles. Over 77 monthly issues between 1963 and 1979, the magazine told the Beatles story at it happened, giving modern readers a unique chance to follow the story without hindsight. This article looks in detail at the content of the magazine and its historical and social context: its beginnings as a form of ‘pop propaganda’, issues of fandom and the communication between fans and the band and the treatment of the change in the Beatles image in early 1967.
¿Qué es lo que puede el agua? Límites y posibilidades de las prácticas políticas para el acceso y defensa del agua como derecho en Argentina
Authors: Carrizo Cecilia , Berger Mauricio 
Published: September 2015

El trabajo se orienta a visibilizar la trama de relaciones políticas entre los espacios públicos ciudadano y estatal, que operan en torno a la garantía del agua como un derecho humano. Partimos de las luchas ciudadanas por el agua en situaciones de contaminación, como espacios de interacción privilegiados, en los que la ciudadanía invoca/revoca las instituciones vigentes bregando por la vigencia de los derechos. A través de dos estudios de caso en las provincias de Córdoba y Río Negro en Argentina, el artículo explora cómo la estructura institucional de los estados provinciales actúa a la vez como factor posibilitante y/o restrictivo tanto de las prácticas de los funcionarios de los distintos poderes públicos en lo que hace a la regulación y el control de la contaminación, así como también de las condiciones de ejercicio de los derechos ciudadanos. Visualizamos diferencias notables en lo que hace a las garantías institucionales, los desarrollos organizacionales, los procedimientos, los recursos y las prácticas conectadas con la gestión del agua entre las dos provincias estudiadas. El artículo concluye con una reflexión sobre los límites y posibilidades que confrontan las esferas públicas estatales y ciudadana en la búsqueda de una política democrática de garantía del derecho al agua que supere lecturas y prescripciones tecnocráticas.

The Functional Gait Assessment in Older Adults: Validation Through Rasch Modeling
Authors: Beninato Marianne , Ludlow Larry H. 
Published: September 2015

BackgroundThe Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), a measure of walking balance ability, was developed to eliminate the ceiling effect observed in the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI). Three presumably more difficult tasks were added and 1 easier task was removed from the original 8 DGI tasks. The effects of these modifications on item hierarchy have not previously been analyzed.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine: (1) the ordering of the 10 FGA tasks and the extent to which they map along a clinically logical difficulty continuum, (2) whether the spread of tasks is sufficient to measure patients of varying functional ability levels without a ceiling effect, (3) where the 3 added tasks locate along the task difficulty continuum, and (4) the psychometric properties of the individual FGA tasks.DesignA retrospective chart review was conducted.MethodsFunctional Gait Assessment scores from 179 older adults referred for physical therapy for balance retraining were analyzed by Rasch modeling.ResultsThe FGA task hierarchy met clinical expectations, with the exception of the “walking on level” task, which locates in the middle of the difficulty continuum. There was no ceiling effect. Two of the 3 added tasks were the most difficult FGA tasks. Performance on the most difficult task (“gait with narrow base of support”) demonstrated greater variability than predicted by the Rasch model.LimitationsThe sample was limited to older adults who were community dwelling and independently ambulating. Findings cannot be generalized to other patient groups.ConclusionsThe revised scoring criteria of the FGA may have affected item hierarchy. The results suggest that the FGA is a measure of walking balance ability in older adults that is clinically appropriate and has construct validity. Administration of the FGA may be modified further to improve administration efficiency.
Under One (Inherited) Imperial Crown: The Tudor Origins of Britain and its Empire, 1603–1625
Authors: Hower Jessica S. 
Published: September 2015

This article investigates the existence in early Stuart Britain of a vibrant, conscious, and global imperial inheritance, as well as the meaning and significance of this legacy for British interactions with the wider world in the seventeenth century. It explores the ways in which a new, transnational and colonial approach to a still-stubbornly insular Tudor History unearths over a century of British experimentation from 1485 in Europe, the Isles, the Americas, Africa, and the East, mutually-reinforced by consolidation and identity-formation at home. I examine the tangible, enduring importance of these examples – that is, the continued relevance of ideology and practice forged in sixteenth-century interactions beyond England – to the subsequent development of Britain and its Empire. The New British History, New Imperial History, and Atlantic History have transformed and complicated our understanding of Britain and the connections between Britain and Empire. Yet these turns have had greater success in privileging the seventeenth century, the Isles, and Anglo-America, relegating Britain to latecomer status in the New World and elsewhere while reinforcing dynastic periodization and obscuring an essential basis of Jacobean and later global involvement. This article seeks to cross the historiographic divides between chronological boundaries, between Tudor and Stuart, insular and global, using 1603–1625 as a case study. With interests sparked, sustained, and legitimized by experience, British subjects active in Ireland, Newfoundland, Virginia, and Guiana in the first quarter of the new century carefully deployed, manipulated, even shucked elements of Tudor nation and empire. Continuity in personnel and the survival of popular texts merged with changes wrought by or circa the new dynasty, as Jacobean flatters and critics fashioned history to fit their ends. By recalling Tudor policy, they acknowledged and memorialized an extra-national past, perpetuating certain images, diction, objectives, and regions of interest across 1603 to influence Stuart global engagement. This paper demonstrates that we cannot understand the development of Britain in the transformative seventeenth century and beyond without looking back and overseas.
Le contentieux des installations classées, un contentieux à repenser ?
Authors: Courtin Michel 
Published: September 2015

Le rôle d'administrateur que le juge administratif s'est reconnu dans le contentieux des installations classées, et qui est parfois pris comme référence de réflexion sur l'intérêt d'accroître les pouvoirs du juge vis-à-vis de l'Administration, n'est en fait que rarement mis en œuvre. Il devient d'ailleurs de plus en plus délicat d'en faire usage en raison, notamment, de la complexification des normes, lesquelles intègrent très largement des sources de droit communautaire (alors même qu'elles ne sont pas ou imparfaitement transposées en droit interne).
Le moment est peut-être venu de repenser les règles actuelles d'organisation du contentieux des installations classées, en considération des conséquences de l'européanisation du droit de l'environnement, et notamment de la nécessaire harmonisation des pratiques juridiques nationales des Etats membres de l'Union européenne, qu'il s'agisse de la délivrance des autorisations d'exploitation ou des techniques de contrôle juridictionnel de celles-ci.
Description of Aegialoalaimus bratteni sp. n. from Skagerrak and a review of the genus (Aegialoalaimidae, Nematoda incertae sedis)
Authors: Holovachov Oleksandr 
Published: September 2015

The genus Aegialoalaimus de Man, 1907 includes 12 nominal species, of which three species are considered valid, two species were transferred to other genera and seven species have uncertain taxonomic status.
New species, Aegialoalaimus bratteni sp. n. was found in Skagerrak off the west coast of Sweden. It is particularly characterized by the 1.5-1.8 mm long body, short papilliform cephalic sensilla, excretory pore opening just posterior to nerve ring level, spicules that are straight in shape, supplements and gubernaculum absent, separating it from other valid species of the genus. It can be further differentiated from Aegialoalaimus elegans in having longer body (1.5-1.8 mm in A. bratteni sp. n. vs 0.8-1.3 mm in A. elegans), shape and size of spicules (straight and 22-29 µm long in A. bratteni sp. n. vs arcuate and 34 µm long in A. elegans), absence of precloacal supplements (vs seven-eight in A. elegans), absence of gubernaculum (vs present in A. elegans); from A. setosa in having shorter tail (c´=2.6-3.1 in A. bratteni sp. n. vs c´=4.2 in A. setosa), shorter cephalic sensilla (0.5-1.0 µm in A. bratteni sp. n. vs 9 µm in A. setosa), shape and size of spicules (straight and 22-29 µm long in A. bratteni sp. n. vs arcuate and 40-45 µm long in A. setosa), absence of precloacal supplements (vs eight in A. setosa), absence of gubernaculum (vs present in A. setosa); from A. leptosoma in having longer body (1.5-1.8 mm in A. bratteni sp. n. vs 0.5-0.7 mm in A. leptosoma) and other measurements, shape of spicules (straight in A. bratteni sp. n. vs arcuate in A. leptosoma), absence of precloacal supplements (vs three-five in A. leptosoma), absence of gubernaculum (vs present in A. leptosoma). Type specimens of Aegialoalaimus cylindricauda Allgén, 1933 and A. paratenuicaudatus Allgén, 1959 are redescribed and taxonomic status of these two species is re-evaluated. A taxonomic review, tabular compendium and identification key for species of the genus Aegialoalaimus are also given.
Simulation Design: Engaging Large Groups of Nurse Practitioner Students
Authors: Garnett Susan , Weiss Josie A. , Winland-Brown Jill E. 
Published: September 2015

Background:
Little has been written about using human patient simulation to teach primary care management to large groups of nurse practitioner (NP) students. This article describes an innovative design for simulated clinical experiences based on a game show format.

Method:
This large-group design was conceived as a way to overcome several challenges, particularly limited faculty resources, to integrating simulation into NP education. Progressive variations evolved from this foundation, including the use of observer–participant groups; initial and follow-up visits on the same simulated patient; and mentor–mentee collaborations.

Results:
Student comments, while consistently positive about the simulated clinical experiences, have been used to guide revisions to strengthen the simulation program.

Conclusion:

The innovative large-group design enabled faculty to use simulation to enhance students’ skills in primary care management. Faculties with similar challenges might find these strategies useful to replicate or adapt. [

Nursing Students’ Experiences of Health Care in Swaziland: Transformational Processes in Developing Cultural Understanding
Authors: Murray Bethany A. 
Published: September 2015

Background:
This study examined the experiences of nursing students following a service-learning placement in Swaziland. Students worked in a hospital and implemented community health clinics.

Method:
Six students were interviewed 1 month after their return from the overseas study experience. A thematic analysis was performed.

Results:
Four themes emerged. The first theme was transitions—students experienced personal hardships, emotional reactions, and language difficulties that created discomfort. The second theme was perceptions—cultural dissonance was encountered between the health care and nursing cultures of Swaziland and the United States. The third theme was internalization—discomfort and cultural dissonance activated coping mechanisms within students that generated a process of change in attitudes and beliefs. The fourth theme was incorporation—personal and professional growth were demonstrated with greater awareness, compassion, resourcefulness, and comfort with diversity.

Conclusion:

The stress and cultural dissonance experienced by students led to an increase in cultural understanding and awareness. [

Factors Associated With Interest in Working With Older Adults: Implications for Educational Practices
Authors: Chippendale Tracy 
Published: September 2015

Background:
The aging population has created a pressing need for specialists in geriatrics. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the predictors of interest in working with older adults among students enrolled in or planning to enroll in a health science program, using an existing data set. The study was guided by Super’s theory of vocational development.

Method:

Multiple regression, with a significance level of
p
< 0.05, was used for the analysis.

Results:
Positive images of older adults and the participants’ current amount of contact were significant predictors of interest in working with older adults, whereas negative images and prior amount of contact with older adults were not.

Conclusion:

Results suggest implications for curriculum design and educational programs to increase the workforce in geriatrics practice, which are discussed. [
