Published: July 2015

Previous studies have reported inconsistent associations between maternal serum ferritin concentrations and the risk of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). The aim of the present study was to examine the association between Fe biomarkers, including serum ferritin concentrations, and the risk of total ( < 37 weeks), early ( < 34 weeks) and moderate-to-late (34–36 weeks) sPTB. The study cohort included 2254 women with singleton pregnancies attending first-trimester screening in New South Wales, Australia. sPTB included births following spontaneous labour or preterm premature rupture of the membranes. Serum collected at a mean gestational age of 12·0 (sd 0·9) weeks was analysed for Fe biomarkers, including serum ferritin and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), and the inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein. Multivariate logistic regression analysis evaluated the association between low and high Fe levels and sPTB. Women with elevated serum ferritin concentrations were more likely to be older, nulliparous or have gestational diabetes. The multivariate analysis found increased odds of sPTB for women with elevated ferritin levels defined as >75th percentile ( ≥ 43 μg/l) (OR 1·49, 95 % CI 1·06, 2·10) and >90th percentile ( ≥ 68 μg/l) (OR 1·92, 95 % CI 1·25, 2·96). Increased odds of early and moderate-to-late sPTB were associated with ferritin levels >90th percentile (OR 2·50, 95 % CI 1·32, 4·73) and >75th percentile (OR 1·56, 95 % CI 1·03, 2·37), respectively. No association was found between the risk of sPTB and elevated sTfR levels or Fe deficiency. In conclusion, elevated maternal serum ferritin levels in early pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of sPTB from 34 weeks of gestation. The usefulness of early pregnancy ferritin levels in identifying women at risk of sPTB warrants further investigation.
Two new inscribed Storm-god stelae from Arsuz
(İskenderun): ARSUZ 1 and 2
Authors: Dinçol Belkıs , Dinçol Ali , Hawkins J.D. , Peker Hasan , Öztan Aliye , Çelik Ömer 
Published: July 2015

AbstractIn 2007 two stelae, each bearing figures of the Storm-god leading a ruler and a
duplicate Hieroglyphic Luwian text, were discovered at
Uluçınar (formerly Arsuz), on the Turkish coast south of
Iskenderun. The inscription is the work of a Suppiluliuma, son of Manana, king
of the land of Walastin, now understood as the Luwian designation of the Amuq
plain with its capital at the Iron Age site of Tell Tayinat. The stelae,
probably dating to the later tenth century BC, record the successful reign of
the ruler and his happy relations with the Storm-god. Historically important is
a passage which describes this Amuq king's victory over the Cilician plain, the
city of Adana and the land of Hiyawa.
A goddess among Storm-gods. The stele of Tavşantepe and the landscape monuments of southern Cappadocia
Authors: Lanaro Anna 
Published: July 2015

AbstractLittle is known about the geo-political landscape of central Anatolia after the collapse of the Hittite Empire. In particular, almost no archaeological evidence for stone monumental art dating to the post-Hittite period north of the Taurus mountains has survived. Now, the stele of Tavşantepe sheds new light on the history of southern Cappadocia during the so-called ‘dark age’ and offers us a unique insight into the artistic production of this region at the beginning of the first millennium BC. Moreover, its location along one of the most important routes connecting southern Cappadocia with central Anatolia, the Altunhisar valley, helps us reconstruct the socio-religious developments in this area in the period predating the emergence of the Neo-Hittite Kingdom of Tuwana in the eighth century BC.
Gladiatorial games in the Greek East: a complex of reliefs from Cibyra
Authors: Berns Christof , Ekinci H. Ali 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThis article presents a body of architectural reliefs and two stelae from the ancient town of Cibyra in the Roman province of Asia and, in most cases, now kept in the provincial Burdur Museum. The pieces show different aspects of gladiatorial games, such as duels between gladiators and the hunting of animals. It is argued that the architectural reliefs once belonged to three different monumental tombs of munerarii, commemorating specific games sponsored by them, while the stelae were set up for single gladiators after their deaths. An analysis of the style of their execution indicates that the reliefs were produced in the second half of the second century AD. The iconography and composition of the gladiatorial combats depicted on these reliefs seem to have been influenced by a specific Hellenic view of the games, while the venatio scenes emphasise the richness of the show. In total, the material may contribute to a better understanding of the reception and transformation of the munera in the Greek East.
Subjectivity may hinder the application of Kline's teaching framework in comparative contexts
Authors: Dean Lewis G. , Kendal Rachel L. 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWe welcome Kline's attempt to develop an overarching framework to allow much needed collaboration between fields in the study of teaching. While we see much utility in this enterprise, we are concerned that there is too much focus on the behavior of the teacher, without examining results or costs, and the categories within the framework are not sufficiently distinct.
Another way to learn about teaching: What dogs can tell us about the evolution of pedagogy
Authors: Johnston Angie M. , McAuliffe Katherine , Santos Laurie R. 
Published: July 2015

AbstractKline argues that it is crucial to isolate the respective roles of teaching and learning in order to understand how pedagogy has evolved. We argue that doing so requires testing species that learn from pedagogy but that rarely teach themselves. Here, we review how one previously neglected species – domesticated dogs (Canis familiaris) – may allow researchers to do just that.
Play to learn, teach by play
Authors: Palagi Elisabetta , Stanyon Roscoe , Demuru Elisa 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThe synthesis provided by Kline in the target article is noteworthy, but ignores the inseparable role of play in the evolution of learning and teaching in both humans and other animals. Play is distinguished and advantaged by its positive feedback reinforcement through pleasure. Play, especially between adults and infants, is probably the platform from which human learning and teaching evolved.
What is teaching? A clear, integrative, operational definition for teaching is still needed
Authors: Eshchar Yonat , Fragaszy Dorothy 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThe study of teaching indeed suffers from multiple approaches built upon disparate views. Kline does an excellent job in explaining the problem, but does not go all the way towards solving it. We suggest that a better operational definition, which could be utilized both in human studies and animal studies, is needed to integrate the field truly.
Teaching as an exaptation
Authors: Smaldino Paul E. , Newton Emily K. 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWe appreciate and endorse Kline's ethological taxonomy and its application. However, the definition of teaching she presents is problematic, as it replaces mentalistic intent with intention on the part of natural selection. We discuss problems with the strict adaptationist view and suggest instead that the five forms of teaching presented in the taxonomy may constitute exaptations rather than adaptations.
Learning in and about opaque worlds
Authors: Tatone Denis , Csibra Gergely 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWe argue that direct active teaching in humans exhibits at least two properties (open-endedness and content opacity) that make the recognition of teaching episodes without ostension untenable. Thus, while we welcome Kline's functional approach to the analysis of teaching, we think that she ignores important features of the socio-environmental niche in which human teaching likely evolved.
Does all teaching rest on evolved traits?
Authors: Chouinard-Thuly Laura , Reader Simon M. 
Published: July 2015

AbstractClassification schemes are useful when they elucidate common underlying mechanisms, bring together diverse examples, or illustrate gaps in knowledge for empirical investigation. Kline's scheme merges different approaches, but is orthogonal to existing schemes and overemphasizes evolved specializations, potentially at the detriment of clarifying teaching processes. Focus on underlying mechanisms, what is learned, and consequences for information transfer may provide additional utility.
The study of teaching needs an inclusive functional definition
Authors: Fogarty Laurel 
Published: July 2015

AbstractFrameworks that facilitate interdisciplinary communication on the topic of teaching are certainly needed. However, these frameworks require a solid and widely accepted definition of teaching on which to build. As Kline states, the functional definition forms a good basis for productive comparative work. I briefly discuss the most contentious aspects of the functional definition, and suggest that these issues must be resolved before more detailed frameworks become useful.
To what adaptive problems is human teaching a solution?
Authors: Hernik Mikołaj , Gergely György 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWe welcome Kline's systematic overview of teaching from a functional evolutionary perspective. However, Kline's framework does not provide satisfying characterization of the adaptive problems driving the evolution of teaching through communication found in humans, where the key function is better characterized in terms of licensing inferences to opaque generic content than in terms of overcoming shortages of access and attention.
How arousal influences neural competition: What dual competition does not explain
Authors: Greening Steven G. , Mather Mara 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWe argue that although the “dual competition” model is useful when considering interactions between emotional and neutral stimuli, it fails to account for the influence of emotional arousal on perceptual or goal-directed behavior involving neutral stimuli. We present the “arousal-biased competition” framework as an alternative that accounts for both scenarios.
United we stand, divided we fall: Cognition, emotion, and the moral link between them
Authors: Manfrinati Andrea 
Published: July 2015

AbstractContrary to Greene's dual-process theory of moral judgment (Greene 2013), this commentary suggests that the network view of the brain proposed by Pessoa, in which emotion and cognition may be used as labels in the context of certain behaviors, but will not map clearly into compartmentalized pieces of the brain, could represent a better explanation of the rationale behind people's moral behavior.
Neuropsychology still needs to model organismic processes “from within”
Authors: Pascual-Leone Juan , Pascual-Leone Antonio , Arsalidou Marie 
Published: July 2015

AbstractFour issues are discussed: (1) differences between cognition and emotion; (2) affect, emotion, and motivation differentials, including a neuropsychological model of motivation; (3) mental attention (working memory) as a resource neither affective nor cognitive, but applicable to both; and (4) explication of neuropsychological scheme units, which have neuronal circuits as functional infrastructure, thus helping to clarify the semantics of functional connectivity.
Preferences and motivations with and without inferences
Authors: Winkielman Piotr , Inzlicht Michael , Harmon-Jones Eddie 
Published: July 2015

AbstractPessoa (2013) makes an impressive case that emotion, motivation, and cognition are neurally intertwined. Our commentary broadens the discussion to the functional, “mind” level. We argue that philosophical and computational considerations justify some modern “separatist” views. We highlight several psychological phenomena that illustrate independence, including affective and motivational reactions to rudimentary inputs, and the guiding role of such reactions in cognition.
How children aged seven to twelve organize the opening sequence in a map task
Authors: FILIPI ANNA 
Published: July 2015

AbstractUsing the methods of conversation analysis, the opening sequences of a map task in the interactions of sixteen children aged seven to twelve were analyzed. The analytical concerns driving the study were who started, how they started, and how children dealt with differential access to information and the identification of phases within the opening. It was found that all participants oriented to the instruction-giver as the one to start, even when the information-follower commenced the task. With respect to how to start, the older children produced a question and answer sequence or a try-mark to establish a common starting point. Five of the eight younger children inferred a common starting point on the map. Three recurring phases were identified: readiness to begin established through a discourse marker, location of the starting point, and actual instruction. The findings are discussed with reference to the importance of interaction in referential spatial tasks.
The rank of the semigroup of transformations stabilising a partition of a finite set
Authors: ARAÚJO JOÃO , BENTZ WOLFRAM , MITCHELL JAMES D. , SCHNEIDER CSABA 
Published: July 2015

AbstractLet $\mathcal{P}$ be a partition of a finite set X. We say that a transformation f : X → X preserves (or stabilises) the partition $\mathcal{P}$ if for all P ∈ $\mathcal{P}$ there exists Q ∈ $\mathcal{P}$ such that Pf ⊆ Q. Let T(X, $\mathcal{P}$) denote the semigroup of all full transformations of X that preserve the partition $\mathcal{P}$.In 2005 Pei Huisheng found an upper bound for the minimum size of the generating sets of T(X, $\mathcal{P}$), when $\mathcal{P}$ is a partition in which all of its parts have the same size. In addition, Pei Huisheng conjectured that his bound was exact. In 2009 the first and last authors used representation theory to solve Pei Huisheng's conjecture.The aim of this paper is to solve the more complex problem of finding the minimum size of the generating sets of T(X, $\mathcal{P}$), when $\mathcal{P}$ is an arbitrary partition. Again we use representation theory to find the minimum number of elements needed to generate the wreath product of finitely many symmetric groups, and then use this result to solve the problem.The paper ends with a number of problems for experts in group and semigroup theories.
Work, Aging, and Risks to Family Life: The Case of Australia
Authors: Biggs Simon , Carr Ashley , Haapala Irja 
Published: July 2015

RÉSUMÉCette étude examine les relations entre le travail et la famille, en mettant l'accent sur les solutions politiques. La politique australienne est l'exemple de cas dans le contexte des tendances internationales. Un désaccord entre les initiatives politiques et les priorités familiales et personnelles représente un nouveau risque social associé à l'évolution démographique et socioculturelle. Les tendances contemporaines, à la fois nationaux et internationaux, montrent des solutions au "problème du vieillissement démographique" en adoptant une forme d'instrumentalisation économique. Cela limite l'identités d'âge légitimes à ceux qui sont associées avec le travail et l'activité liée au travail. Lorsqu'elle est appliqué à la vie de famille, une telle focalisation risque de réduire l'intérêt de la politique en engagement intergénérationnel à des rôles de soins non rémunérés, tandis qu'on ne tient compte du développement personnel et des priorités de la vie liées à l'âge. Le besoin d'une adaptation culturelle au vieillissement démographique est plus acceptée dans le débat politique, et est considéré ici comme une réponse efficace aux risques personnels, sociaux et économiques du vieillissement de la population et les impacts connexes sur la vie familiale.
Pimps, Prostitutes and Policewomen: The Polish Women Police and the International Campaign against the Traffic in Women and Children between the World Wars
Authors: PETRUCCELLI DAVID 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWomen entered police service between the wars in much of the world as a result of agitation by the international women's movement and the League of Nations. Nearly everywhere a gendered division of police work emerged, with female police primarily responsible for social welfare tasks and their male colleagues handling investigations and arrests. Poland represented a notable exception. Tapping into both international and national concerns, Polish policewomen laid claim to extensive powers by invoking the grave threat of the traffic in women. This focus on trafficking had a paradoxical effect, expanding the possibilities for female policing even as it justified a range of restrictive measures against prostitutes and poor female emigrants.
Adjudicating Loyalty: Identity Politics and Civil Administration in the Hungarian-Slovak Borderlands, 1938–1940
Authors: WATERS LESLIE M. 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThis article discusses loyalty trials conducted in the Hungarian-Slovak borderland region known as Felvidék after it was reannexed to Hungary by the First Vienna Award in 1938. All civil servants who had worked for the Czechoslovak state had to appear before local loyalty commissions to prove their loyalty to the Hungarian state. The commissions' task was complicated by two competing conceptions of loyalty – one investigating civic loyalty, the other national loyalty – and the politicisation and ethnicisation of peoples' daily practices for the previous two decades under Czechoslovak rule.
Pulmonary haemorrhage due to an aortopulmonary collateral artery after arterial switch
Authors: Sugimoto Ai , Ota Noritaka , Sakamoto Kisaburo 
Published: July 2015

AbstractA neonate with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum presented without pulmonary over-circulation, and subsequently developed pulmonary haemorrhage after corrective surgery. Postoperative CT revealed an aortopulmonary collateral artery arising from the descending aorta, and we performed successful embolisation on postoperative day 9. Aggressive imaging modalities such as angiography and/or CT imaging with contrast can detect unexpected extra-pulmonary blood supply and guide further management.
INFINITARY TABLEAU FOR SEMANTIC TRUTH
Authors: MEADOWS TOBY 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWe provide infinitary proof theories for three common semantic theories of truth: strong Kleene, van Fraassen supervaluation and Cantini supervaluation. The value of these systems is that they provide an easy method of proving simple facts about semantic theories. Moreover we shall show that they also give us a simpler understanding of the computational complexity of these definitions and provide a direct proof that the closure ordinal for Kripke’s definition is $\omega _1^{CK}$. This work can be understood as an effort to provide a proof-theoretic counterpart to Welch’s game-theoretic (Welch, 2009).
The impact of international criminal law and the ICC on national constitutional arrangements
Authors: ELDERKIN RUPERT 
Published: July 2015

AbstractInternational criminal law (ICL) developed in large part from international humanitarian law during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The International Criminal Court (ICC), a permanent institution to investigate and prosecute ICL cases finally was established in 2002. Although widely supported, certain states feared that the ICC would diminish national sovereignty. Yet, in formal legal terms, ICL and the ICC’s Rome Statute are just like other branches of public international law in terms of their relationship with national constitutional arrangements. ICL does not challenge states’ primary executive and judicial powers; it does not introduce any general rights for citizens or particularly onerous obligations for states that are already subject to the rule of law; and its intrusion on national sovereignty is only in evidence when a state’s leaders either are responsible for atrocities or are incapable of protecting their citizens from such atrocities. ICL thus is very different from international human rights law (IHRL), which directly impacts national constitutional arrangements. When ICL does come into play, however, arguably it may perform quasi-constitutional functions, in particular offering the only means under public international law to remove state officials from office when they are believed responsible for the most harmful abuses of power.
Ergebnisdarstellung in der Lehrveranstaltungsevaluation
Authors: Vetterlein Anja , Sengewald Erik 
Published: July 2015

Nach Marsh (2007) ist eine Funktion der Lehrveranstaltungsevaluation das diagnostische Feedback und dient der Verbesserung der Lehre. Doch der Weg vom Ergebnisbericht bis zur Veränderung der nächsten Lehrveranstaltung ist „weit und beschwerlich”, wie Helmke und Hosenfeld (2005) in ihrem Rezeptionsmodell darlegen. Zusätzlich zur bereits etablierten langen Ergebnisdarstellung wird eine neue kompakte Ergebnisdarstellung für den Kontext der Lehrveranstaltungsevaluation entwickelt. Die Studie untersucht in einem randomisierten Experiment mit N = 283 Dozenten die Wirkung der beiden Ergebnisdarstellungen auf die Lehrveranstaltungsqualität. Letztere erfasst der Fragebogen PELVE ( Born, Loßnitzer & Schmidt, 2006 ) auf sieben latenten Dimensionen. Es wird ein Multi-Level-Strukturgleichungsmodell für kategoriale Variablen in Mplus spezifiziert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Dozenten mit dem kompakten Bericht höhere Werte auf der Bewertungsdimension Begleitmaterialien erreichen. Trotz höherer Komplexität finden sich keine Hinweise auf negative Effekte des kompakten Ergebnisberichts auf die Qualität der folgenden Lehrveranstaltung.
Zur Validität von studentischen Lehrveranstaltungsevaluationen
Authors: Fondel Eva , Lischetzke Tanja , Weis Susanne , Gollwitzer Mario 
Published: July 2015

Die Studie untersucht verschiedene Aspekte der Validität von studentischen Lehrveranstaltungsevaluationen (LVE). Anhand einer adaptierten Version des Trierer Inventars zur Lehrevaluation (TRIL) überprüften wir sowohl faktorielle Validität, Messinvarianz über Veranstaltungsarten hinweg als auch Beurteilerübereinstimmung unter Studierenden (Konsistenz vs. Methodenspezifität). Hierzu wurden konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen unter Berücksichtigung der Multilevel-Struktur der Daten modelliert. Außerdem wurde die Heterogenität der Urteile innerhalb von Veranstaltungen durch Studierendenvariablen (Interesse am Thema, Sympathie für die Lehrperson, wahrgenommene Schwierigkeit der Inhalte) erklärt. In einer Stichprobe von 1 823 Studierendenurteilen, geschachtelt in 101 Veranstaltungen, konnte die angenommene Struktur der Items bestätigt werden, die Items waren strikt messinvariant über Vorlesungen (n = 51) und Seminare/Übungen (n = 50) hinweg. Die Konsistenz der Studierendenurteile fiel moderat aus. Etwa 50 % der Variabilität innerhalb von Veranstaltungen ließen sich durch die Studierendenvariablen erklären. Hinweise auf die diskriminante Validität der Lehrqualitätsdimensionen ergaben sich durch differentielle Vorhersagebeiträge.
