The right to space production and the right to necessity: Insurgent versus legal rights of Palestinians in Jerusalem
Authors: Jabareen Yosef 
Published: June 2015

The major problem with theories of the right to the city is that they inherently assume that states are the sole provider of rights and that, in liberal–democratic countries, legal rights are conceptually universal and apply to all individuals equally. I challenge these assumptions and maintain that in some situations, when the state and its governing apparatus violate or deny the very basic rights of a social or ethnic collective, the group itself becomes an alternative source of informal rights. I conceive this violation of basic needs as a necessity state of affairs, which constitutes a true and proper source of law and it makes the right to space production and the right to necessity. Thus, the state of necessity is the source of these informal rights and law, and necessity gives them the legitimation they needs. The disadvantaged groups, the community, not the State, give it the legitimation they need. As Agamben suggests in his State of Exception, that necessity has no law and necessity creates it own law. From this perspective, the right to the production of space is a plane of contradictions and struggle over the distribution of resources and rights among people in general, and between the state and its local government and planning and development institutions in particular. Seen in this light, it is clear that the right to the production of space entails not only formal legal rights but also the informal rights, the right to necessity, generated and invoked by disadvantaged groups. The production of space, then, is born and reborn at the heart of the contradictions between formal and informal rights, and between the state’s planning apparatus and spatial agenda on the one hand and the status of disadvantaged groups on the other. The conceptual framework offered here seeks to resolve and overcome these contradictions through its contingent relations between legal rights, which are produced and distributed by the state, and the rights of necessity generated and invoked by the collective. From this perspective, the right to the production of space offers a normative framework for illuminating the relationship between the production of space, structure, and power relations at the state and city level and their relations with collective groups, as well as a means of struggle for basic rights of recognition and of the reorganization of urban society.
Serious myelopathy due to magnetic resonance imaging-occult arteriovenous fistula: Case report of petrous ridge dural arteriovenous fistula
Authors: Kim Hyun Jeong , Choi In Sup 
Published: June 2015

Background and purpose We present a case of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-occult intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) with serious cervical myelopathy and review the pathophysiological background. Summary of case A 61-year-old man had suffered from progressive neurological deterioration. He had demonstrated swollen spinal cord with diffuse enhancement and no dilated vascularity on MRI. Finally, digital subtraction angiography revealed DAVF at the petrous ridge and it was successfully treated by embolization. Conclusion A slow flow DAVF is not readily recognizable on MRI. Whenever a patient presents with unexplainable progressive myelopathy, a possibility of vascular origin has to be considered.

Objective: To compare sociodemographic and motivational factors for healthcare use and identify desirable health-promoting resources among groups in a low socioeconomic status (SES) community in Chicago, IL. Background: Disparities in health services and outcomes are well established in low SES urban neighborhoods in the United States and many factors beyond service availability and quality impact community health. Yet there is no clear process for engaging communities in building resources to improve population-level health in such locales. Methods: A hospital building project led to a partnership of public health researchers, architects, and planners who conducted community-engaged research. We collected resident data and compared factors for healthcare use and choice and likelihood of engaging new health-promoting services. Results: Neighborhood areas were strongly associated with ethnic groupings, and there were differences between groups in healthcare choice and service needs, such as, proximity to home was more important to Latinos than African Americans in choice of healthcare facility (  padj = .001). Latinos expressed higher likelihood to use a fitness facility (  padj = .001). Despite differences in vehicle ownership, >75% of all respondents indicated that nearby public transportation was important in choosing healthcare. Conclusion: Knowledge of community needs and heterogeneity is essential to decision makers of facility and community development plans. Partnerships between public health, urban planning, architecture, and local constituents should be cultivated toward focus on reducing health disparities. Further work to integrate community perspectives through the planning and design process and to evaluate the long-term impact of such efforts is needed.

Abstract
Introduction
Arthralgia is a common toxicity among women taking aromatase inhibitors (AIs) and can lead to premature discontinuation of therapy. We evaluated the association between arthralgia, co-morbid fatigue and/or insomnia, and inflammatory biomarkers among women taking AIs.

Methods
Women taking AIs for early-stage breast cancer completed a modified version of the Brief Pain Inventory, the Brief Fatigue Inventory, and the Insomnia Severity Index and provided blood samples for simultaneous assessment of 34 inflammatory biomarkers with a Luminex kit. Two-sided t tests were used to compare inflammatory biomarker concentrations for patients with or without moderate to severe arthralgia. Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship between comorbid arthralgia, fatigue, and insomnia with identified biomarker concentrations.

Results
Among 203 participants, the severity of arthralgia, fatigue, and insomnia were significantly correlated with each other (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). After controlling for race, chemotherapy history, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use, age, and body mass index, the coexistence of arthralgia, fatigue, and insomnia was associated with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) (β = 93.1; 95 % confidence interval (CI): 25.1–161.1; p = 0.008), eotaxin (β = 79.9; 95 % CI: 32.5–127.2; p = 0.001), monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 (β = 151.2; 95 % CI: 32.7–269.8; p = 0.013), and vitamin D–binding protein (VDBP) (β = 19,422; 95 % CI: 5500.5–33,344; p = 0.006).

Conclusions
Among women taking AIs, the coexistence of arthralgia, fatigue, and insomnia was associated with increased levels of inflammatory biomarkers (elevated CRP, eotaxin, MCP-1, and VDBP). These findings suggest a possible shared inflammatory mechanism underlying these common symptoms.

Published: June 2015

Abstract

Background
Among different systems medicine practiced worldwide, Unani medicine is the classical one and still commonly practiced in India and abroad for centuries. As it is widely used by a majority of population, it is necessary to come up with a systematic approach to develop well-designed methodologies for the quality control of different polyherbal formulations which are used for treatment of various diseases in this system of medicine.

Methods
A reverse phase stability indicating HPLC method was developed for the determination of 6-gingerol in polyherbal formulations. Separation of 6-gingerol was achieved on reverse phase C18 (250 × 4.6 mm) column with a mobile phase containing methanol: 0.05% orthophosphoric acid in water (60:40, v/v) at 280 nm using UV-visible detector. The flow rate was kept as 1 mL/min. The proposed method was validated according to ICH guidelines for accuracy, precision, robustness, LOD, and LOQ, and statistical analysis proved method was accurate, precise, and robust.

Results
The linear regression analysis data showed a good linear relationship (r
2 = 0.9989 ± 0.0010) for 6-gingerol in the concentration range of 0.5 μg to 500 μg/mL. This proved the method can be employed for the determination 6-gingerol even in nanogram levels. The detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) limits were found to be 0.05 μg and 0.18 μg/mL, respectively. Satisfactory recovery results were observed from the herbal compound formulations (98.5 to 101%). Intra- and inter-day precisions of the method were found convincing, with relative standard deviation (%RSD) values in the range of 0.5 to 1.9%. Forced degradation studies of 6-gingerol was also carried out under different stress conditions which showed that the drug is stable in acidic and basic conditions whereas unstable against dry heat.

Conclusions
Hence, newly validated HPLC method can be used for the quality control and standardization of different herbal formulations which contain Zingiber officianalis as one of the ingredients.
Following specific podocyte injury captopril protects against progressive long term renal damage
Authors: Zhou Yu S , Ihmoda Ihmoda A , Phelps Richard G , Bellamy Christopher OS , Turner A Neil 
Published: June 2015

Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) reduce proteinuria and preserve kidney function in proteinuric renal diseases. Their nephroprotective effect exceeds that attributable to lowering of blood pressure alone. This study examines the potential of ACEi to protect from progression of injury after a highly specific injury to podocytes in a mouse model.Methods: We created transgenic (Podo-DTR) mice in which graded specific podocyte injury could be induced by a single injection of diphtheria toxin. Transgenic and wild-type mice were given the ACEi captopril in drinking water, or water alone, commencing 24h after toxin injection. Kidneys were examined histologically at 8 weeks and injury assessed by observers blinded to experimental group.Results: After toxin injection, Podo-DTR mice developed acute proteinuria, and at higher doses transient renal impairment, which subsided within 3 weeks to be followed by a slow glomerular scarring process. Captopril treatment in Podo-DTR line 57 after toxin injection at 5ng/g body weight reduced proteinuria and ameliorated glomerular scarring, matrix accumulation and glomerulosclerosis almost to baseline (toxin: 17%; toxin + ACEi 10%, p<0.04; control 7% glomerular scarring). Podocyte counts were reduced after toxin treatment and showed no recovery irrespective of captopril treatment (7.1 and 7.3 podocytes per glomerular cross section in water and captopril-treated animals compared with 8.2 of wild-type controls, p<0.05).Conclusions: Observations in Podo-DTR mice support the hypothesis that continuing podocyte dysfunction is a key abnormality in proteinuric disease. Our model is ideal for studying strategies to protect the kidney from progressive injury following podocyte depletion. Demonstrable protective effects from captopril occur, despite indiscernible preservation or restoration of podocyte counts, at least after this degree of relatively mild injury.
Aproximación a la distribución internacional de cine español en los inicios del siglo XXI
Authors: López Marina Díaz 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
The internationalization of Spanish cinema has come to form part of the public and private policies of the film industry in this new century. The presence of Spanish cinema in international festivals and markets, as well as the recognition some of its directors and stars enjoy, make it possible to create a map of the organization of Spanish and European promotional politics as well as of the elements that can be connected to their brands within the industry. The rise of sales agents in this context speaks to the privatization of this space in which certain elements are formulated to make Spanish cinema visible. Its characterization as a national cinema should be redefined in a context of globalization.
Arturo Ripstein’s and Paz Alicia Garciadiego’s Lucha Reyes and the aesthetics of Mexican abjection
Authors: de La Mora Sergio 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
This article explores questions of representation and reception of Arturo Ripstein’s biopic La reina de la noche/The Queen of the Night (1994), loosely based on the life of the pioneer Mexican ranchera music performer Lucha Reyes (1906–1944). Reyes created the sound of ranchera singing as we understand it today: simultaneously aggressive, pained, festive. Her troubled and controversial career is examined in light of the film’s mixed reception, notably the unfavourable reception in Mexico due to the irreverent treatment of this national icon. The divisive representation of Reyes’s alcoholism, mental illness and bisexual lifestyle opens a window into exploring how Reyes’s non-conformist agency rubbed uneasily against dominant society. Yet, despite this critical edge, the focus on Reyes as a tragic and abject victim and her rendering as a queer icon register the multiple layers of ambiguity that made the film so problematic for audiences and critics.
La conspiración contra Miranda del 31 de julio de 1812
Authors: Paredes Muñante Jorge Guillermo 
Published: June 2015

1812 constituye un año trágico para la historia de la primera república venezolana (1811-1812). Ese año las fuerzas patriotas son derrotadas por las realistas al mando de Domingo Monteverde y ello obliga a Francisco de Miranda a firmar la Capitulación de San Mateo, el 25 de julio de 1812. Este acontecimiento produce un golpe de estado contra Miranda liderado por Simón Bolívar, el 31 de julio, y por una serie de traiciones la entrega de Miranda a los realistas y con ello su muerte militar y política.

La emergencia de la violencia obstétrica como modelo de mundo contra-hegemónico
Authors: Calafell Sala Núria 
Published: June 2015

<p>En el año 2004, en Argentina, se sanciona y se promulga la Ley de Parto Humanizado (Ley 25.929). Diez años después, ésta sigue sin reglamentarse, lo que ha posibilitado la aparición de una serie de prácticas y discursos contradictorios y en constante tensión. Uno de ellos es el que concierne a lo que se ha dado en llamar “violencia obstétrica”, una expresión muy nueva y reciente que pretende dar cuenta de las prácticas y los discursos médicos que ejercen algún tipo de violencia –física, psíquica o verbal- sobre las mujeres y las niñas en el ámbito de la salud reproductiva, en especial durante los períodos del embarazo, el parto y el postparto.</p><p> </p>
La ausencia de democracia paritaria en la democracia interna de los partidos políticos

Published: June 2015

<p>El principio de presencia equilibrada en el marco de la Ley Orgánica 3/2007, para la igualdad efectiva de mujeres y de hombres, supone una importante estrategia para la consecución de un nuevo modelo de representación democrática. Este ideal viene caracterizado por la noción de Democracia paritaria, de modo que sólo se podrá hablar de él cuando la igualdad se considere por todos los poderes públicos, los agentes sociales y los ciudadanos y ciudadanas no sólo un valor jurídico y social, sino, también, un valor democrático. Por lo tanto, la paridad, en tanto presupuesto esencial de ciudadanía y de existencia, supone llevar al máximo extremo la igualdad jurídica y real, modificando transversalmente las estructuras y los modelos de poder, incluyendo las bases de los partidos políticos para consensuar un nuevo pacto y acabar con la jerarquía de género, una de las grandes lagunas de la configuración actual de la democracia representativa. <strong></strong></p><p> </p>

Removal of humic acid from composted hog waste by the white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium
Authors: Liu Junying , Song Yunmeng , Ruan Roger , Liu Yuhuan 
Published: June 2015

AbstractThe potential hazards of humic acid (HA) associated with hog waste effluent, coupled with increasing awareness of environmental problems, have prompted many countries to control disposal of effluents into water bodies and to maximize removal of HA. Here we employed the white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, to degrade the HA in composted hog waste effluent, evaluated by the response surface method. Preliminary experiments demonstrate that pH, temperature and quantity of inoculum are significant variables determining success of the fungus. In total, 13 experiments were conducted with three variables designated as A (pH), B (temperature) and C (inoculum amount). The optimal conditions for reduction of HA by P. chrysosporium are pH 6, 31.5°C and an inoculum quantity of 5.86 g. Predicted and experimental results exhibit strong agreement, indicating efficiency in the model obtained by response surface method. Therefore, P. chrysosporium is an effective micro-organism for removal of HA from composted hog waste effluent.
Analysis of suspended solids transport processes in primary settling tanks
Authors: Patziger Miklós , Kiss Katalin 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
The paper shows the results of a long-term research comprising FLUENT-based numerical modeling, in situ measurements and laboratory tests to analyze suspended solids (SS) transport processes in primary settling tanks (PSTs). The investigated PST was one of the rectangular horizontal flow PSTs at a large municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of a capacity of 500,000 population equivalent. Many middle-sized and large WWTPs are equipped with such PSTs. The numerical PST model was calibrated and validated based on the results of comprehensive in situ flow and SS concentration measurements from low (5 m/h) up to quite high surface overflow rates of 9.5 and 13.0 m/h and on settling and other laboratory tests. The calibrated and validated PST model was also successfully used for evaluation of some slight modifications of the inlet geometry (removing lamellas, installing a flocculation ‘box’, shifting the inlet into a ‘bottom-near’ or into a ‘high’ position), which largely affect PST behavior and performance. The investigations provided detailed insight into the flow and SS transport processes within the investigated PST, which strongly contributes to hydrodynamically driven design and upgrading of PSTs.
Influence of pH on hexavalent chromium reduction by Fe(II) and sulfide compounds
Authors: Chen Juan , Chen Ri , Hong Mei 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of pH on Cr(VI) reduction with Fe(II), sulfide and mixtures of Fe(II) and sulfide at pH 3.0–12.0. The results showed that Fe(II) could reduce Cr(VI) with a high removal of nearly 100% in the pH range of 3.0–9.0, while the reduction of Cr(VI) decreased to approximately 60% considering the oxygenation of Fe(II) at pH 12.0. The reaction between Cr(VI) and sulfide, however, was largely pH dependent. H2S was the main sulfide species with the Cr(VI) removal of ∼80% at pH &lt; 7.0, while sulfide mainly existed in the forms as HS− or S2− at pH ≥ 7.0, which had very limited removal of Cr(VI) (no more than 10%). The Cr(VI) removal by the mixtures of Fe(II) and sulfide was also compared with the sum of separate ones at different pH values. The sum of Cr(VI) removal by single Fe(II) and S(-II) was similar to that by the mixtures at pH 3.0–5.0 and pH 12.0, while the removal of Cr(VI) by the mixtures was observed to be more effective than the sum of the single-species removals at pH 7.0–9.0; the promoting effect was primarily attributed to the catalysis of ferric ion generated during the reduction process.
Ammonia and phenol removal in an internal-circulate sequencing batch airlift reactor

Published: June 2015

Abstract
An internal-circulate sequencing batch airlift reactor (IC-SBAR) has been developed to evaluate the efficiency of phenol and ammonia removal in treating synthetic wastewater. This study examined the effect of operation cycle on this system. Results showed that above 97.0% removal efficiencies of ammonia and phenol were achieved, which indicated that ammonia and phenol removals were not related to operation cycle. The average removal efficiency of 91.7% for chemical oxygen demand (COD) was achieved when the static/aerobic/settling time was 240 min/440 min/40 min. It was found that COD removal efficiency increased due to the time of operation cycle being prolonged. The average removal efficiencies of total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) were 65.8, 69.3 and 68.9% when average TIN concentrations were 78.0, 97.6 and 88.4 mg/L, respectively, in the influent. A cycle study showed that most phenol was degraded by aerobic microbes. Increasing the static time from 120 to 240 min resulted in the accumulation of NO2−-N, which indicated that the structures of the nitrifying bacterial community were changed.
