Adaptation Planning Guideline and Constrained Outline for Shower Chairs and other Four-Caster Vehicles
Authors: Abraham Brian , Davidson Rob I , Johnson Garth R 
Published: October 2013

Introduction: No research-based guidelines for adaptation planning for shower chairs and other vehicles with four casters exist, despite the manual handling nature of the manoeuvring task and the occupational therapy responsibility to plan for such vehicles. Method: It was determined from theory that changes in direction for these vehicles, such as from a passageway through a door, could be represented by 13 manoeuvres. Participants (n = 17) carried out 11 (maximum) manoeuvres based on this theory, each with the maximum comfortable occupant weight of their choice (weights represented the occupant). Findings: The maximum occupant weight selected as comfortable varied substantially between some of the 11 manoeuvres: there was a 100% difference between the lowest and highest weight selections. This indicated that four-caster vehicles (such as shower chairs) should not be treated as omni-directional for high occupant weights, or for floor materials with high motion resistance, because the manoeuvre direction substantially affects maximum comfortable weight selection. Conclusion: The manoeuvre with the highest weight selection is proposed as a guideline when manual handling concerns exist for these vehicles. The guideline can be modified for individual vehicles sizes, occupant and carer anatomy.
A Narrative Literature Review of the Impact of Anti-TNFα Treatment on the Occupational Performance of People with Rheumatoid Arthritis or Ankylosing Spondylitis
Authors: McArthur Margaret , Birt Linda , Goodacre Lynne 
Published: October 2013

Introduction: Anti-TNFα treatment has revolutionised the disease pathway for some people with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, although physiological improvements do not always readily translate into re-engagement in occupational activities. This review explores the evidence base for the impact of anti-TNFα on occupational performance. Method: Literature was searched from 2000–11. A four-stage process resulted in the review of 19 articles. The Weight of Evidence framework was used to assess quality and relevance to the review question. Findings: People on anti-TNFα treatment experience increased engagement in functional, psychological and social domains. Most studies focused on employment issues, with conflicting evidence about how well anti-TNFα protected against work disability and very limited evidence that anti-TNFα enabled return to paid work. The increase in productivity was to the detriment of other occupational domains, with resulting occupational imbalance. Conclusion: The assumption that clinical improvement is relatively trouble free is incorrect, as some people on anti-TNFα treatment continue to experience difficulties in all occupational domains, particularly work. People on anti-TNFα treatment do not routinely have access to occupational therapy services. Further research needs to explore the nuanced experiences of treatment and the role of occupational therapy in maximising the treatment potential of anti-TNFα.

A New World of Learning
Authors: Lucin Pero , Mahmutefendic Hana 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACT
Exponential development of information and communication technologies is changing the world of learning. As a consequence of exponential exposure to media and information flows, our brains are adapting and new skills are arising. This especially occurs with the new generation of people who encounter media and information tools at the earliest stages of life. Although many of us are aware of such changes, there is very little research-based information to explain them. In recent years, evidence was presented demonstrating neuroplastic basis of human brain adaptation, although neuroplastic mechanisms are still poorly understood. Today's schools and universities are still analogue, whereas the students can be said to be digital. The educational system does not properly recognize the skills of the new generations and does not respond to their needs. New aspects of social evolution suggest that we should also think not only of adapting our learning skills, but also our social skills. These skills should be integrated into all learning processes, from preschool education to lifelong learning. The aim of this editorial is to facilitate discussion within the medical profession about the arising new world of learning.

Global Education: How do we Respond?
Authors: Souza Heitor Gurgulino de 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACT
In this paper, Professor Heitor Gurgulino de Souza, briefly describes the goals that World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS) had stated, 40 years ago, when it was established, and its role as a ‘World University’. Then he mentions the United Nations University (UNU), created by UN Secretary General U Thant, with support from UNESCO, when the UN General Assembly adopted the charter of UNU, on December 1973. He briefly describes the organization and first years of activities of the UNU globally, from its center in Tokyo, Japan, since 1975. Why Tokyo? Because, at that time, a very generous offer was made by the government and people of Japan: (1) To donate US$100 million to the endowment fund of UNU; (2) to build its permanent headquarters in Tokyo and (3) to establish a research and training center of the UNU in Japan. He also describes briefly the UNU Research and Training Centers (RTCs) and programs (RTPs), established worldwide. Finally, he mentions another case of a globalization, being implemented by Brazil- ‘Science without Borders Program’ (CSF), during 2011-2015. Goal: to send over 100,000 students abroad (with fully funded fellowships) to study and do research at good universities in other countries and to attract visiting teachers and researchers from abroad to come and work in Brazil.

EU Knowledge Triangle: ‘Renaissance or Ocean of Papers?’
Authors: Turcinovic Petar 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACT
EU knowledge triangle composed of education, research and patents is being analyzed as a mean to improve quality of life in EU, including its economy and crisis resolution potential. While research side of triangle is satisfactory, education needs improvement in content and student and staff mobility. The number of patents should be higher given the number of research papers published. Obstacles to smartocracy approach are highlighted together with EU growth strategy 2020 with its supportive programs and other possible solutions to smart growth. Case studies are used to illustrate the need for flexible and timely support particularly in new IT business models. Bureaucracy, slow reactions, lack of success culture, and red tape together with conservative universities are limits to change based on creativity and smart growth. It was stated that EU strategy 2020 represents welcomed but slow move in good direction. Finally, return to basics of creativity, as an individual process, is being reinforced together with the idea of supporting inventors with the unemployed managers to help them with the implementation of inventions in the social phase of the patent process.

Basic Diploma in International Ultrasound for Prenatal Diagnosis and Therapy
Authors: Zoppi Maria Angelica 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACT
In the Microcitemico Hospital the first prenatal diagnosis in Europe of beta-thalassemia was performed in 1977 using fetal blood sampling and globin chain analysis at 20th week of gestation. Since then, more than 55,000 prenatal invasive procedures were performed in our center for several genetic and chromosomal diseases.
In 2011, our department has been introduced as a center for teaching invasive diagnostic procedures under the umbrella of the Ian Donald International University School of Medical Ultrasound. After a period of tutoring for 2 or more weeks, fellow doctors who intend to learn invasive techniques for prenatal diagnosis under the direct supervision of a senior tutor (G. Monni) can receive the basic diploma in invasive prenatal procedures (Fig. 1).
In the following study, we describe the training process of the invasive prenatal procedure performed by transabdominal chorionic villus sampling (TA-CVS).

Development of Fetoscopic and Minimally Invasive Ultrasound-guided Surgical Simulator: Part of Global Education
Authors: Wataganara Tuangsit 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACTModern practice in perinatology involves a significant portion of invasive procedures. Training in fetal diagnostic procedures is generally accomplished using in vitro model. Fetal therapeutic procedures require a more sophisticated skill. Fetoscopic intervention is most commonly performed for laser dichorionization of the placental in twin-twin transfusion syndrome. A co-ordination between ultrasound guidance and endoscopic surgical skill is required. This article outlines the training schemes in fetal surgery, including surgical simulator (in vitro) model, animal model, and observer and hands-on training. We have described our Siriraj Fetoscopic Surgical SimulatorTM for the trainee to master his proficiency at his own time and pace.How to cite this articleWataganara T.

Iapetus and Japheth: Hesiod’s Theogony, Iliad 15.187-93, and Genesis 9-10
Authors: Louden Bruce 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
Genesis, as it adapts the Deluge from Mesopotamian sources, for the sequel, transforms Hesiod’s account of Cronus’ castration of Uranus, and the unspecified wrongdoing of his brother Iapetus, mixing it with the type of myth depicted in Iliad 15, where three brothers draw lots to determine their portions. This results in Genesis 9-10’s mysterious depiction of Ham seeing the genitals of the drunk Noah, who, when awake, curses not Ham but his son Canaan, while bestowing blessings on his two other sons, Shem and Japheth, father of Javan (= Greek Ion). Parallel wordplay in the Theogony and Genesis affirm the link.
What Was He Reading Exactly? Marcus Argentarius,AP9.161 (= 1369-72GP), and Hesiod’sWorks and Days
Authors: Vergados Athanassios 
Published: October 2013

AbstractIn this paper I argue against a recent interpretation of AP 9.161 (Marcus Argentarius) that reads in the epigram a play with the canonical order of Hesiod’s poems. Instead of connecting this epigram with Hesiod’s Catalogue, I posit an allusion to the series of maxims in Hesiod’s Op. 299-382.
Plutarch, Alexander, and Dream Divination
Authors: King Carol J. 
Published: October 2013

AbstractAn oft-emphasized psychological approach to the dream experience has long overshadowed the ancient belief that a divine element in human affairs could be interpreted through dreams. Ample evidence for this belief and for dream divination as practiced by military leaders is found in Plutarch’s Lives, yet this has been largely neglected. Examination of the nine dreams in the Life of Alexander and other comparable dreams within their broader historical contexts suggests that dream divination is less marginal than generally thought and that consultation of professional interpreters was customary for kings and military commanders, especially in times of crisis.
The Sobbin’ Women: Romulus, Plutarch, and Stephen Vincent Benét
Authors: Connors Catherine 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
The short story The Sobbin’ Women by the American writer Stephen Vincent Benét (1898-1943) retells the legend of Romulus’ capture of the Sabine women by setting it on the American frontier. Benét’s version of the story is based closely on Plutarch’s Life of Romulus. During his literary career, Benét turned several times to Plutarch as a way of exploring themes of history, justice and liberty, and his readings of and responses to Plutarch’s Rome offer a distinctive case study in American idealizing discourse about Rome.
The Bough and the Lock: Fighting Fate in theAeneid
Authors: Hejduk Julia 
Published: October 2013

AbstractThis paper examines similarities between Dido’s Lock and the Golden Bough, arguing that the struggle of these objects is linked to the contingency of Fate. It then suggests that the entry of the Trojan Horse into Troy and the sacrifice of Turnus, both of which exhibit similar "hesitation," are symbolically connected to the Lock and the Bough, hinting again that Fate is less ironclad than commonly supposed. It concludes that in his depiction of key "fatal" objects Virgil provides a symbolic language in which to ponder the mystery of Fate and free will.
Poetics of Elision in theSiluae
Authors: Heinen Dustin 
Published: October 2013

AbstractThe lengthy descriptions in the Siluae of Statius evolved from, but stand in, unique contrast with earlier examples found in epic and epigrammatic poems. Statius’ poetics of elision, the practice of gapping or suppressing visual information in favor of verbal description or emotional response, is a means through which Statius propagates Flavian cultural and political ideology. The author uses but limits detailed visual information in his descriptions and favors instead stock descriptions that relate the drastic level of metamorphosis. This narrative type of description in the Siluae is typically overlooked or stated only as a concession when details are lacking or inaccurate, but Statius’ focus on vivid descriptions and artistic representation in his ekphrastic works is crucial to the success of these poems.
The Chariot Race and the Destiny of the Empire in Statius’Thebaid
Authors: Rebeggiani Stefano 
Published: October 2013

AbstractThis article examines how Statius incorporates and gives poetic expression to Roman anxieties about succession. In the chariot race in Thebaid 6, Statius’ presentation of Polynices as a new Phaethon connects the young Theban to Nero, the incapable leader and unworthy successor. Conversely, both the chariot race and the scene of Amphiaraus’ death encourage the reader to regard the seer as a positive "ruler-figure." This strategy paves the way for Statius’ description of Amphiaraus’ succession in Thebaid 8, an account which seems to be influenced both by the political debate on succession current in the late first century and by accounts of imperial acclamations.
From Crisis to Consensus: Salutary Ideology and the Murder of Agrippina
Authors: Luke Trevor 
Published: October 2013

AbstractThis article examines the response of the court of Nero and the Senate to Agrippina’s murder in terms of imperial ideology and ceremony. Our ancient sources, particularly Tacitus, depict the events after Agrippina’s murder in order to highlight the wickedness of Nero, the complicity of Burrus and Seneca, and the adulation of the Senate. The re-contextualization of these events in imperial ideology regarding the Salus of the emperor and the state, as well as practices related to damnatio memoriae, brings the activities of Nero’s court and the Senate surrounding the matricide into clearer historical focus.
Adipose-Derived Cell Construct Stabilizes Heart Function and Increases Microvascular Perfusion in an Established Infarct
Authors: LeBlanc Amanda J. , Nguyen Quang T. , Touroo Jeremy S. , Aird Allison L. , Chang Raymond C. , Ng Chin K. , Hoying James B. , Williams Stuart K. 
Published: October 2013

AbstractWe have previously shown that myocardial infarction (MI) immediately treated with an epicardial construct containing stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from adipose tissue preserved microvascular function and left ventricle contractile mechanisms. In order to evaluate a more clinically relevant condition, we investigated the cardiac recovery potential of an SVF construct implanted onto an established infarct. SVF cells were isolated from rat adipose tissue, plated on Vicryl, and cultured for 14 days. Fischer-344 rats were separated into MI groups: (a) 6-week MI (MI), (b) 6-week MI treated with an SVF construct at 2 weeks (MI SVF), (c) 6-week MI with Vicryl construct at 2 weeks (MI Vicryl), and (d) MI 2wk (time point of intervention). Emax, an indicator of systolic performance and contractile function, was lower in the MI and MI Vicryl versus MI SVF. Positron emission tomography imaging (18F-fluorodeoxyglucose) revealed a decreased percentage of relative infarct volume in the MI SVF versus MI and MI Vicryl. Total vessel count and percentage of perfusion assessed via immunohistochemistry were both increased in the infarct region of MI SVF versus MI and MI Vicryl. Overall cardiac function, percentage of relative infarct, and percentage of perfusion were similar between MI SVF and MI 2wk; however, total vessel count increased after SVF treatment. These data suggest that SVF treatment of an established infarct stabilizes the heart at the time point of intervention by preventing a worsening of cardiac performance and infarcted volume, and is associated with increased microvessel perfusion in the area of established infarct.
Les « parties » de l’âme dans la République de Platon
Authors: Fronterotta Francesco 
Published: October 2013

La psychologie platonicienne de la République semble être affectée par une contradiction en relation avec la thèse de la tripartition de l’âme. Celle-ci est esquissée dans le livre IV et est toujours présente dans les livres VIII et IX ; Socrate semble pourtant l’abandonner lorsque, dans le livre X, il introduit la thèse selon laquelle l’âme est une réalité double, et peu après parvient, dans la suite du livre X, à démontrer son immortalité, en la décrivant comme une réalité simple, unique et unitaire. J’essaierai de montrer que ces changements de perspective dépendent du point de vue assumé par Platon dans son traitement de la nature et de la fonction de l’âme, dans les contextes que j’appellerai « génétiques », c’est-à-dire là où l’analyse touche à la question du statut ontologique de l’âme, et dans les contextes que j’appellerai « opérationnels », c’est-à-dire lorsque ce sont les fonctions, les compétences et les motivations de l’âme dans sa direction du corps qui font l’objet de l’analyse.
Faisceaux imaginaires et cool medias : This Will Not Be Televised de Nicole Lizée
Authors: McKinley Maxime 
Published: October 2013

L’imaginaire de la compositrice Nicole Lizée transforme en les rapprochant des éléments hétéroclites provenant principalement du cinéma, de la philosophie, des arts visuels, ainsi que de médias et de musiques populaires, avec un goût marqué pour les années 1960 à 1980 et l’effet fantomatique de ces emprunts. Cet article illustre ce processus de création à partir d’une des oeuvres marquantes de Lizée : This Will Not Be Televised (2005-2007), pour DJ et sept instruments. L’analyse s’attache à illustrer comment les faisceaux imaginaires de la compositrice se réifient au sein d’un même langage musical, basé ici sur une partie de DJ précisément notée et prolongée par l’ensemble instrumental, et qui fait appel à des stratégies de traitements d’objets culturels, de déploiements répétitifs, de montages par juxtapositions et superpositions, et à une forme continue où les rappels assurent la cohésion. Par cette approche, la compositrice s’intéresse aux liens tissés par la mémoire et la subjectivité de l’auditeur, au « blanc à remplir » caractéristique des cool medias de McLuhan.
Transformations of Lamarckism
Authors: Zeligowski Anna 
Published: October 2013

A reappraisal of Lamarckism—its historical impact and contemporary significance.
In 1809—the year of Charles Darwin's birth—Jean-Baptiste Lamarck published Philosophie zoologique, the first comprehensive and systematic theory of biological evolution. The Lamarckian approach emphasizes the generation of developmental variations; Darwinism stresses selection. Lamarck's ideas were eventually eclipsed by Darwinian concepts, especially after the emergence of the Modern Synthesis in the twentieth century. The different approaches—which can be seen as complementary rather than mutually exclusive—have important implications for the kinds of questions biologists ask and for the type of research they conduct. Lamarckism has been evolving—or, in Lamarckian terminology, transforming—since Philosophie zoologique's description of biological processes mediated by "subtle fluids." Essays in this book focus on new developments in biology that make Lamarck's ideas relevant not only to modern empirical and theoretical research but also to problems in the philosophy of biology. Contributors discuss the historical transformations of Lamarckism from the 1820s to the 1940s, and the different understandings of Lamarck and Lamarckism; the Modern Synthesis and its emphasis on Mendelian genetics; theoretical and experimental research on such "Lamarckian" topics as plasticity, soft (epigenetic) inheritance, and individuality; and the importance of a developmental approach to evolution in the philosophy of biology. The book shows the advantages of a "Lamarckian" perspective on evolution. Indeed, the development-oriented approach it presents is becoming central to current evolutionary studies—as can be seen in the burgeoning field of Evo-Devo. Transformations of Lamarckism makes a unique contribution to this research.
