Cultivating lived-body consciousness: Enhancing cognition and emotion through outdoor learning
Authors: Thorburn Malcolm , Marshall Aaron 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
Through using school-based outdoor learning as the research context, the paper analyses the connections between bodily experiences and the embodied mind. Recent theorizing in outdoor learning, in reflecting phenomenology and Deweyian influences, has teased out how the relationships between the self, others and nature (environment) can be extended to include embodied experiences. This would, it is argued, add something extra to either the intrinsic pursuit of enjoying practical experiences or the instrumental quest for subject knowledge gains via cognitive- informed analytical cycles of action and reflection. While generally sympathetic to this critique, we consider there is a cognitive and emotional need for embodied experiences to demonstrate that they can be suitably contemplative as well. Through drawing upon Tiberius (2008) naturalist-informed theorizing, the paper reviews the part bodily experiences in outdoor learning can play in cultivating stable values and in developing reasoning practices that provide insights into how personal responsibility can be exercised in relation to how we live. Through referencing the Scottish policy context, the paper exemplifies how learning outdoors can flourish on the basis of a joint body-mind focus; where pupils review their relations with others and nature, as well as valuing times when they are absorbed in experiences which fully engage their personal interests, skills and capacities. To enhance the prospects of these learning gains occurring we provide a self-check set of questions for teachers to review to as part of appraisal of learning and teaching outdoors
Water Quality Improvement Using Renewable Energies
Authors: Mocanu Catalina Raluca , Balanescu Liviu Valentin 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
To reduce the negative effects of eutrophication processes in water bodies it is necessary to improve water quality by ensuring the necessary oxygen concentration. The paper proposes a new innovative solution for the improvement of lake water quality. The premises for the implementation of the experimental floating platform which will aerate the lake waters will be presented. To give a specific view over the oxygen dispersion into the lake, numerical simulations in CFD software will be presented in different cases.
The protection of drinking water resources against pollution is a common task of outstanding importance for the water management and environment protection sectors. To prevent water supply problems arising from the short and medium-term quality deterioration of resources caused by pollution incidents, it is vital to develop methods for monitoring the quality of resources as well as methods for monitoring and predicting serious pollution events to protect water users. In the case of vulnerable drinking water resources, the establishment and maintenance of an early warning monitoring system is important. Emergency treatment technologies are also needed by the waterworks to treat the water for periods when the quality of the water has temporarily deteriorated.
Innovative solutions for the improvement of water quality consist in using a floating platform equipped with aeration systems. The equipment used to aerate the lake waters is powered by the area renewable energy (solar, wind). So, this platform can be used in isolated area, where there is no energy supply from the national network.
Dural arteriovenous fistulas of the cavernous sinus - clinical case and treatment

Published: July 2014

Abstract
The purpose of our article is to present the results of our treatment of dural arteriovenous fistula of the cavernous sinus by glue embolization of the external carotid artery feeders. By this case presentation we try to clarify the clinical course, with the dural carotid cavernous fistula (CCF), characterizing a pallet of symptoms, paying special attention to radiological finding and endovascular treatment.
Dural arteriovenous fistulas represent 10% to 15% of all intracranial arteriovenous malformations (A. Fox, G. Duckwiler, “Dural Arteriovenous Fistula,” presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Neuroradiology, St Louis, Mo, June 1992). Dural arteriovenous fistulas are rare clinical situation, especially examples involving the cavernous sinus. Most dural fistulas are acquired conditions, typically occurring in postmenopausal women, but sometimes in other patients in association with other condition [1,3]. These dural fistulas are most often “spontaneous” cavernous carotid shunts (usually low-flow) [2, 4, 5], usually related to a past trauma or surgery. The classical triad, represented by pulsating exophthalmos, conjunctival chemosis, and pulsatile-tinnitus are well-known clinical symptoms of these lesions but are not necessary present in the majority of the patients as first indicators.
The anatomy of these vascular malformations consists of multiple arterial feeders flowing into cavernous sinus. The arterial feeders are usually meningeal branches arising from the internal carotid artery (ICA) or the external carotid artery (ECA).
However, there are few reports of large series [1], and the clinical entity is not widely known. The purpose of this paper is to present a clinical case of a patient with dural cavernous sinus fistulae, clarify the clinical symptoms course and special attention to results of endovascular treatment.

Authors: Harisha P.N. , Reddy V. Umamaheshwar , Agrawal Amit , Kodali Gopal 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
Spontaneous hemorrhage into the corpus callosum with intraventricular extension is uncommon. In the present article we describe a case 60 year female who had massive hemorrhage along the corpus callosum involving genu, body of corpus callosum and extending on ventral as well as dorsal aspect of the corpus callosum with intraventricular extension and areas of hypodensities in the body of the corpus callosum and adjacent cerebral cortex. In this case the subarachnoid and corpus callosal hemorrhage probably resulted from the ruptured aneurysms of the anterior cerebral artery.

Published: July 2014

Abstract
Bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage following motor vehicle accident is extremely rare in field of neurosurgery. This is presumed to be secondary to rupture of lenticulostriate or Anterior Choroidal artery by shearing, as a result of acceleration/deceleration forces. Although the exact mechanism is still not known. Isolated bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage carries favourable prognosis. We report a rare case of 50 years old lady having bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage with diffuse axonal injury following motor vehicle accident. Patient was managed conservatively and improved.

Published: July 2014

Background
Task-specific training may be a suitable intervention to address mobility limitations in people with Huntington disease (HD).

Objective
The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of goal-directed, task-specific mobility training for individuals with mid-stage HD.

Design
This study was a randomized, blinded, feasibility trial; participants were randomly assigned to control (usual care) and intervention groups.

Setting
This multisite study was conducted in 6 sites in the United Kingdom.

Patients
Thirty individuals with mid-stage HD (13 men, 17 women; mean age=57.0 years, SD=10.1) were enrolled and randomly assigned to study groups.

Intervention
Task-specific training was conducted by physical therapists in participants' homes, focusing on walking, sit-to-stand transfers, and standing, twice a week for 8 weeks. Goal attainment scaling was used to individualize the intervention and monitor achievement of personal goals.

Measurements
Adherence and adverse events were recorded. Adjusted between-group comparisons on standardized outcome measures were conducted at 8 and 16 weeks to determine effect sizes.

Results
Loss to follow-up was minimal (n=2); adherence in the intervention group was excellent (96.9%). Ninety-two percent of goals were achieved at the end of the intervention; 46% of the participants achieved much better than expected outcomes. Effect sizes on all measures were small.

Limitations
Measurements of walking endurance were lacking.

Conclusions
The safety of and excellent adherence to a home-based, task-specific training program, in which most participants exceeded goal expectations, are encouraging given the range of motivational, behavioral, and mobility issues in people with HD. The design of the intervention in terms of frequency (dose), intensity (aerobic versus anaerobic), and specificity (focused training on individual tasks) may not have been sufficient to elicit any systematic effects. Thus, a larger-scale trial of this specific intervention does not seem warranted.
Characteristics of melt convection during Kyropoulos sapphire crystal growth
Authors: Fang HaiSheng , Zhang Zhi , Jin ZeLin , Wang Sen , Xu JianFeng 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
Melt flows in the Kyropoulos sapphire growth system include Marangoni convection and buoyancy convection. From the seeding stage to the final growth stage, both the area of the free surface and melt height decrease to zero from initial values, and hence the flow pattern in the melt varies during growth. To study systematically melt convection and its influence on the growth process, a non-dimensional parameter is introduced to denote the relative strength of Marangoni convection to buoyancy convection. Temperature and stream function distributions for the different growth stages are simulated. It is found that Marangoni convection is negligible during the early growth. However, it plays an important role in the late growth. The remelting of the crystal surface starts when Marangoni convection becomes dominant, and thus it may be related to this convection mode. The interface shape is found to be changing during the whole growth process, which reduces the industrial productivity of sapphire. Interface convexity, crystal diameter and the non-dimensional parameter are presented as functions of the melt height. Interface convexity is further described as a function of the non-dimensional parameter. The results are consistent with experimentally observed phenomena.
Metastatic renal cell carcinoma, with a radiographically occult primary tumor, presenting in the operative site of a thoracic meningioma: long-term follow-up
Authors: Heary Robert F. , Agarwal Nitin , Barrese James C. , Barry Maureen T. , Baisre Ada 
Published: July 2014

Lesions metastatic to the site of a meningioma resection from a different primary tumor are rare. Metastasis of a tumor without a known primary tumor is also rare. Metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma, without an identifiable primary tumor, to the bed of a meningioma resection has not been previously reported.
The authors describe the case of a 54-year-old man who presented with decreased sensory and motor function in the lower extremities. He underwent T3–5 laminectomies and gross-total removal of an intradural, extramedullary meningioma. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient regained full neurological function. After a 3-year period, he developed progressive upper thoracic pain and lower-extremity paresthesias. Imaging studies showed an epidural mass at the T2–4 levels and what appeared to be blastic involvement of the T2–4 vertebrae. A metastatic workup was negative. Emergency revision laminectomies yielded a fibrous, nonvascular mass. Neuropathology was consistent with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. After 6 months, the patient's symptoms of pain and paresthesias recurred. Repeat excision, with decompression of the spinal cord, revealed tumor cells morphologically and immunophenotypically similar to those obtained from the prior surgery. Cytogenetic analysis confirmed the presence of metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
A novel case of an epidural metastatic renal cell carcinoma, of unknown primary origin, in the same operative bed of a previously resected intradural, extramedullary meningioma of the thoracic spine is reported.
Les femmes dans la création audiovisuelle et de spectacle vivant
Authors: Gouyon Marie 
Published: July 2014

En 2011, les femmes représentent 29 % des auteurs de la sacd et reçoivent 24 % des droits versés. Une femme perçoit ainsi, en 2011, un revenu moyen inférieur de 24 % à celui d’un homme. Les écarts de droits versés entre femmes et hommes trouvent plusieurs éléments d’explication : les femmes participent à moins d’œuvres que les hommes, en particulier dans le cinéma, le théâtre et les arts de la rue. Elles n’exercent pas non plus les mêmes fonctions, et sont ainsi plus souvent auteurs de texte ou chorégraphes que réalisatrices ou compositrices. À discipline et fonction égales, les écarts de rémunération sont pratiquement inexistants dans la radio et la télévision, mais subsistent dans le cinéma et le spectacle vivant : ces écarts persistants peuvent être liés à d’autres facteurs comme, par exemple, une fréquentation des spectacles ou une programmation des œuvres moins importante, dans des lieux de représentation ou sur des canaux de diffusion différents et à des horaires moins favorables.
Cuisiner l'objet
Authors: Loubeyre Jean-Baptiste 
Published: July 2014

Face aux théories abstraites de la métapsychologie, le cuisinier propose « naïvement » une théorie de l’objet dans les raisons pratiques qui articulent les constructions de ses recettes et ses manières de faire. Le cuisinier construit un objet à incorporer, complexe, qui associe la plupart des dimensions que prend l’objet pour le psychisme. La cuisine apparaît pour la recherche comme un objet complémentariste, à l’interface entre transmission culturelle et étayage psychique.
D'Afrique en Amériques noires
Authors: Agier Michel 
Published: July 2014

L’intention de ce texte est de confronter le métissage à son image : les échanges, contacts ou conflits sont les situations dans lesquelles de multiples personnes, objets, images ou valeurs de provenances diverses se transforment en permanence. Pratique sociale sans concept, le métissage est aussi une étiquette qui semble contredire la pratique elle-même. L’Amérique latine, où se développent et se « mobilisent » des identités culturelles et raciales dites noires, afro-américaines ou africaines-américaines, est le cadre de tensions particulièrement vives entre les affirmations identitaires et les métissages silencieux.
Late Onset of a Persistent, Deep Stromal Scarring After PRK and Corneal Cross-linking in a Patient With Forme Fruste Keratoconus
Authors: Güell Jose L. , Verdaguer Paula , Elies Daniel , Gris Oscar , Manero Felicidad 
Published: July 2014

PURPOSE:
To present a case of a late, deep stromal scar in a 22-year-old patient with forme fruste keratoconus who underwent combined corneal cross-linking and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).

METHODS:
Topography-guided corneal cross-linking combined with corneal PRK (without complications) was performed in both eyes with a delay of 2 weeks between each eye.

RESULTS:
At the 5-month postoperative examination of the right eye, a localized corneal haze was circumscribed to the posterior deep stroma, signifying a decrease of visual acuity. However, this improved partially and temporarily when treated with topical corticoids during 2 years of follow-up and then reoccurred, affecting the corrected distance visual acuity.

CONCLUSIONS:
To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first documented, clinical case presenting a deep stromal affectation without endothelial decompensation and visual acuity affectation as a postoperative complication following topography-guided PRK and corneal cross-linking.

Changes to Corneal Aberrations and Vision After PresbyLASIK Refractive Surgery Using the MEL 80 Platform
Authors: Gifford Paul , Kang Pauline , Swarbrick Helen , Versace Patrick 
Published: July 2014

PURPOSE:
To investigate changes to corneal surface aberrations and vision between PresbyLASIK and LASIK for correction of presbyopia using the MEL 80 platform (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany).

METHODS:
The retrospective data of 31 patients who underwent PresbyLASIK (the PresbyLASIK group) between January 2009 and November 2011 and 20 matched patients who underwent LASIK (the LASIK group) were analyzed for changes to refraction, corrected distance visual acuity, and corneal surface wavefront aberrations calculated over 4- and 6-mm pupils. Outcomes at the 3-month follow-up visit were compared to data collected immediately prior to surgery and between PresbyLASIK and LASIK correction. Associations between induced corneal aberrations and best spherical equivalent refraction were explored.

RESULTS:

PresbyLASIK and LASIK significantly reduced refractive error in both myopes and hyperopes. Residual refractive error was not significantly different between treatment groups, except for spherical equivalent refraction, which was significantly more myopic following LASIK treatment compared to PresbyLASIK in myopes. There was no significant difference in postoperative corrected distance visual acuity between groups. LASIK and PresbyLASIK induced positive spherical aberration in myopes and negative spherical aberration in hyperopes, with significant differences between treatments only apparent in myopes when analyzed over a 4-mm pupil (PresbyLASIK group: 0.07 ± 0.06
µ
m; LASIK group: 0.03 ± 0.04
µ
m,
P
< .05). In hyperopes, induced spherical aberration was more highly associated with refractive change after LASIK (
r
= 0.82,
P
< .05) than PresbyLASIK (
r
= 0.64,
P
< .001); instead PresbyLASIK led to a more consistent shift of approximately 0.3
µ
m independent of induced change to refraction.

CONCLUSIONS:
PresbyLASIK using the MEL 80 platform induced significant changes in spherical aberration in myopes and hyperopes. PresbyLASIK appears to offer an improved response over LASIK when correcting myopes due to an apparent increase in depth of focus resulting from changes in spherical aberration. For hyperopes, PresbyLASIK provides a more consistent spherical aberration effect independent of refractive change.

Susceptibility of Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) eggs to different life stages of three generalist predators
Authors: Abram P.K. , Doyon J. , Brodeur J. , Gariépy T. D. , Boivin G. 
Published: July 2014

AbstractThe invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys Stål (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) has recently become established in Canada, but little information is available regarding the ability of natural enemies to attack this pest in its invaded range. We tested the capacity of several life stages of three generalist predators, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), Coleomegilla maculata De Geer (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), and Podisus maculiventris (Say) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), to attack H. halys eggs. The relative susceptibility of H. halys eggs to predator attack was compared to P. maculiventris eggs. We found evidence for differential ability to consume H. halys and P. maculiventris eggs both among predator species and within species among life stages. The most H. halys eggs were consumed by late-instar C. carnea, while fewest were consumed by second-instar and adult C. maculata, and second-instar C. carnea. The susceptibility of H. halys eggs to predators was similar to that of P. maculiventris eggs, with only early-instar P. maculiventris nymphs consuming significantly less H. halys eggs than P. maculiventris eggs. Our results provide a baseline for further testing of generalist predators against H. halys and illustrate the potential importance of considering the breadth of ontogeny across which candidates are able to attack the invasive pest.
Pseudo-Tournament Matrices and Their Eigenvalues
Authors: Wang Chuanlong , Yong Xuerong 
Published: July 2014

AbstractA tournament matrix and its corresponding directed graph both arise as a record of the outcomes of a round robin competition. Ann × ncomplex matrixAis calledh-pseudo-tournament if there exists a complex or real nonzero column vectorhsuch thatA+A* =hh* −I. This class of matrices is a generalisation of well-studied tournament-like matrices such ash-hypertournament matrices, generalised tournament matrices, tournament matrices, and elliptic matrices. We discuss the eigen-properties of anh-pseudo-tournament matrix, and obtain new results when the matrix specialises to one of these tournament-like matrices. Further, several results derived in previous articles prove to be corollaries of those reached here.
Penal Populism, Deliberative Methods, and the Production of “Public Opinion” on Crime and Punishment
Authors: Turner Liz 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
This article draws upon insights from democratic and social theory to demonstrate that the findings of traditional opinion surveys exert an unjustified and unhealthy level of dominance in the contemporary political sphere. It reflects upon the plausibility that the expanded use of deliberative approaches to understanding public opinion might halt and begin to reverse the penal excesses generated by “penal populism.” It is argued that the findings from studies utilising deliberative methods struggle to have any significant impact on political decision making because proponents show an unwarranted epistemological deference, which means that survey-based approaches are able to retain their dominance over political conceptions of the so-called “reality” of public opinion. This is because deliberative methods are regarded and portrayed as producing findings which are less “real” than the findings generated by traditional survey-based research. Even the proponents of deliberative methods collude in this portrayal by invoking the notion of the “hypothetical public,” an “ontological red herring” which distracts from both the socially constructed nature of all representations of public opinion, and the unwarranted power which accrues to and flows from conventional methods.
Steps Toward a Zoology of Mind
Authors: Baeten Elizabeth 
Published: July 2014

ABSTRACTOver the past several decades there have been robust attempts at crafting descriptions of mind that overcome the legacy of Cartesianism. W. Teed Rockwell puts the body as a nexus of interlocking systems at the center of his account of cognition, effectively dissolving the tie of mind/brain and the problems that follow such an equation. Though Rockwell's project is promising, his phenomenological/Deweyan approach leads him to reject realism and, consequently, to reject an evolutionary role in cognition. On offer is a naturalistic account of mind that begins with the animal embedded in ecosystemic constitutional relations—a zoological account of mind.
