Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTAim: To examine attitudes towards psychotropic medications among patients with chronic psychiatric disorders as well as their family caregivers by using factor analysis. Materials and Methods: The study included 200 patients and their family caregivers with chronic psychiatric disorders who are attending the psychiatry outpatient services. A self-designed 18-item self-rated questionnaire was used to evaluate the attitude toward psychotropics and factor analysis was done to study the different models of attitudes. Results: In general both patients and caregivers had positive attitude toward the psychotropic medications and there was no significant difference between the patients and caregivers on the various items of the questionnaire assessing the attitude. Factor analysis of the questionnaire indicated that either two-factor or four-factor models explained the attitude of the patients and caregivers. In the two-factor model there was one positive and one negative attitude factor, whereas the four-factor model comprised of two positive and two negative attitude factors. The four-factor model of attitudes provided a more comprehensive solution to how attitudes might be formed among patients and their family caregivers. Factors one and four in the four-factor solution still reflected positive attitudes, but appeared to portray a risk-benefit approach, in which benefits such as the efficacy of psychotropic medications in treating mental illnesses and preventing relapse, and medications being better than other options were being contrasted with the risks of side effects and permanent damage or harm. Conclusion: Attitudes of patients with chronic psychiatric disorders and their caregivers toward psychotropic medications appear to be shaped by factors such as perceived efficacy or benefit from medicines, the necessity for taking treatment and concerns such as side effects, harm or expense.

Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTIniencephaly is a rare form of neural tube defect with an incidence of 0.1-10 in 10,000 pregnancies. It is characterized by the presence of occipital bone defects at foramen magnum, fixed retroflexion of head, spinal dysmorphism, and lordosis of cervicothoracic vertebrae. It is usually associated with central nervous system, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular anomalies. We present radiological and autopsy findings in a series of 3 cases of iniencephaly (gestational ages 29.3, 23, and 24 weeks) first fetus in addition showed omphalocele, pulmonary hypoplasia, two lobes in right lung, accessory spleen, atrial septal defect, bilateral clubfoot, ambiguous genitalia, and single umbilical artery. Second fetus was a classical case of iniencephaly apertus with spina bifida. Third fetus had colpocephaly and bifid spine.

Authors: Gupta Ravi , Goel Deepak , Dhyani Mohan , Mittal Manish 
Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTHead banging is a sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder of unknown etiology. It is common during infancy; however, available literature suggests that prevalence decreases dramatically after childhood. We report the case of a 16-year-old male who presented with head banging. The symptoms were interfering with his functioning and he had been injured because of the same in the past. We are presenting the video-polysomnographic data of the case. Possible differential diagnoses, etiology, and treatment modalities are discussed. The boy was prescribed clonazepam and followed up for 3 months. Parents did not report any episode afterward.
Psychiatry in 21st century: The road ahead
Authors: Mitra Sayantanava , Kavoor Anjana Rao 
Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTIn spite of becoming more humane in its approach with improvements in understanding of mental illnesses over last century, psychiatry still has a long way to go. At this point in time, on one hand the world faces issues like terrorism, wars and global warming; while on the other it is witnessing economic and gender empowerment like never before. With technology providing us with immense opportunities to advance care for the mentally ill, we are closer than ever to finding the holy-grail of psychiatry, and overcoming daunting challenges.

The Commons: Opening and Enclosing Non-commodified Space
Authors: Arvanitakis James 
Published: September 2014

This paper begins with a simple question—‘how can you steal something that no one owns’? Though a simple question, the answer is complicated, for the stealing of ‘things’ owned by no one explains an important aspect of capitalism’s insatiable appetite. Historically the conditions for industrialisation and market economies were created by capital through the colonisation of common lands and common modes of production—things that are shared but not owned. And this is an appetite that shows no sign of abating. This paper looks at the concept of the commons as aspects of our lives that no one owns but that everyone enjoys. Today the commons are constantly under siege. However, this claim does not only refer to ‘physical’ commons; here, I extend the concept of non-commodified ‘spaces’ into the cultural sphere.
By outlining how capital continually works to enclose the commons—both physical and cultural—this paper aims to present a key contest occurring between neoliberalism and today’s social justice movements. This conflict is based on the manufacturing of scarcity through enclosure versus the concept of abundance through sharing and cooperation. The purpose, then, is to identify the source of this enclosure, and why it continues, as well as describe potential paths to challenge it.
Writing Beyond the Wall: Translation, Cross-cultural Exchange, and Chen Ran's 'A Private Life'
Authors: Schaffer Kay , Song Xianlin 
Published: September 2014

The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented rise in the global flow of knowledge, nowhere more apparent in the exchange of ideas between China and modern western democracies. Our interest concerns one aspect of this global flow— the translation of Chinese women’s autobiographical writing into English. Taking Chen Ran’s A Private Life (English edition, 2004) as a point of departure, the paper explores issues of translingual practice and cross-cultural exchange. It considers what escapes or is lost in translation as well as the additive potential of the host text. It is sometimes the case that the translation can deliberately make certain ambiguities visible—whether from pragmatic, market-driven motivations or from more complex political, historical and cultural considerations. These negotiations of meaning that occur in the translation process can reverberate on the critical reception of texts in both the ‘guest’ and ‘host’ languages (Liu 1995), with open-ended, incomplete and indeterminate effects.
The paper examines the effects of the omission of a brief parenthetical section of three paragraphs from one chapter of the Chinese edition of A Private Life. Yet, even that small emendation changes the original text as a cultural object and alters potential modes of its reception. In this case, the translation results in a loss of ambiguity, irony, philosophic and rhetorical sophistication while also offering additive potentials that enhance the generation of new meanings in the translingual exchange, here with reference Tiananmen and contemporary feminism in China. The translation process provides new channels for readers, writers and theorists to dialogue and communicate across gaps of difference, despite inhibiting factors like the imposition of local restraints, the universalising pressures of western modernity, and asymmetrical relations of power between guest and host language contexts.
Fantastic Elements in Djebar's La Femme sans sépulture

Fantastic Elements in Djebar’s La Femme sans sépulture

Todorov famously defined the fantastic genre as comprising texts set in a recognisably ‘real’ world that involve the possibility, but only the possibility, of a supernatural explanation underlying the events of the story related. Where the supernatural and the natural co-exist as hypotheses within the text, the reader enters a state of hesitation concerning the status of the story-events set before her (Todorov, 1975). If this hesitation is sustained to the end, according to Todorov the text can usefully be classified as belonging to the (pure) fantastic genre.
Is La Femme sans sépulture an example of the fantastic genre? Certainly the author plays with the conventions of that genre, skilfully juxtaposing two types of explanation for the events recounted and fostering a hesitation on the part of the reader. But this is not an end in itself for Djebar. Rather, the possibility of the supernatural seems to function as a metaphor; if the ghost of Zoulikha ‘haunts’ those who live on after her disappearance (her daughters and former comrades, the narrator herself, and all those for whose freedom she fought), this means that we all owe a duty to the past. Only once she has done her duty to Zoulikha in this way can the author-narrator feel that she has truly returned home. And it is entirely appropriate to represent this relationship to the past as a kind of haunting. This is the use to which Djebar puts the idea of the supernatural; whilst celebrating and continuing Zoulikha’s struggle for the liberation of Algeria and its women, she uses the possibility of the fantastic to convey the uncanny experience of a constant return to her own (cultural) self.
An Analysis of State Telehealth Laws and Regulations for Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy
Authors: Calouro Christine , Kwong Mei Wa , Gutierrez Mario 
Published: September 2014

This study conducted a scan of telehealth physical and occupational therapy state laws and regulations. The laws and regulations were analyzed to determine the potential effect they could have on physical therapists (PTs) and occupational therapists’ (OTs) utilization of telehealth. The results indicate that the majority of physical and occupational therapy boards are silent on telehealth. A handful of physical therapy laws and regulations address “consultation by means of telecommunication,” but do not provide any guidance for PTs or OTs seeking to provide direct telehealth-delivered services to patients. Of the few states that do provide guidance, policy had the potential to provide clarity, or inhibit adoption. The findings suggest that as state boards look at crafting telehealth regulation, they should do so in a way that facilitates, rather than hampers adoption, while upholding their providers to a high standard of care.

As análises apontam o quanto esse serviço pode contribuir para uma significativa melhora na qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores e seus familiares, visto que possibilita um espaço de escuta e acolhimento em que os trabalhadores podem sentir aceitos para expressar seus sentimentos vivenciados tanto dentro quanto fora do mundo social do trabalho.
INCLUSÃO SOCIAL PARA PACIENTE COM DEFICIÊNCIA: UM NOVO MOTIVO PARA SORRIR
Authors: Helena Ferreira Simone , Da Silva Viana Elizabete , Leal Daniela , Floriani Kramer Paulo 
Published: September 2014

Há séculos a sociedade encontra dificuldades em lidar com indivíduos com deficiências. Essas dificuldades são frutos do legado histórico e da falta de informação, gerando preconceito e despreparo da sociedade para atendê-los. As pessoas com deficiências são indivíduos que possuem alterações físicas, intelectuais, sociais e/ou emocionais e que necessitam de educação especial e instruções suplementares temporárias ou definitivas. A inclusão social pressupõe que todo ser humano tenha direito à educação, saúde, cultura, lazer, trabalho, assistência social, além de acesso à informação, comunicação, meios de transporte e locais de convivência. Neste sentido, a assistência odontológica precisa ser incentivada. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um caso clínico de um paciente deficiente com 17 anos, que apresentava dificuldades de acesso ao mercado de trabalho em função de sua condição bucal. Após o tratamento realizado no Projeto de Extensão “Conquistando Saúde: Atendimento de pacientes com deficiências” da ULBRA/RS, o paciente teve sua auto-estima elevada e inclusão social resgatada.

Determinants of participation in a prison-based treatment program in The Netherlands
The current study examined the extent to which risk factors and treatment readiness were related to prison based treatment engagement (i.e. participation and completion), using a large sample of detainees who were a candidate for the Prevention of Recidivism program. Analyses showed that offenders who were treatment ready were over two times more likely to complete treatment programs, compared to offenders who were not. Risk factors did, for the most part, not correlate with treatment participation and completion. Outcomes underlined the importance of motivational aspects and showed the significance of enhancing treatment readiness amongst correctional resocialisation participants.
Multiskilling in the newsroom – de-skilling or re-skilling of journalistic work?
Authors: Nygren Gunnar 
Published: September 2014

Multiskilling in a journalism context is not a case of “de-skilling” as the profession. There are problems concerning related to the quality in newsrooms adapting that are adapting multiskilling strategies, but in general multiskilling is more correctly to defined as a re-skilling or an up-skilling. This is thea conclusion from result from a survey to of 1,500 journalists in Poland, Russia and Sweden and interviews with 60 journalists in these three countries. Multiskilling in journalism gives more space room for creativity and more power to the individual journalist, according to those with experience of working as multi-reporters. It allows them more freedom to make their own decisions in their daily tasks, i.e. choosing subjects and stories. At the same time, from the perspective of the media company, multiskilling is a strategy to increase production in the newsrooms. Multiskilling is also changing the journalistic culture, putting more focus on production and adapting content for different channels.
Le magistère à Vatican II : une posture, une forme, un style
Authors: Routhier Gilles 
Published: September 2014

L’enseignement de Vatican II sur le magistère a été plusieurs fois commenté et analysé. Trop souvent cependant on oublie que c’est dans l’exercice même de la fonction magistérielle que le pape et les évêques réunis en Concile ont donné l’enseignement le plus éloquent sur le magistère lors du concile Vatican II. C’est en adoptant une posture (la soumission à la Parole de Dieu, l’attention aux besoins de la famille humaine et l’élaboration conciliariter de leur enseignement), à travers une forme (un enseignement de forme pastoral qui exclut les anathèmes et les définitions dogmatiques) et un style que les Pères conciliaires définissent un nouveau mode d’exercice du magistère. C’est enfin à travers les silences du texte (ces passages retirés du texte initial) que se précise une vision de l’exercice du magistère dans l’Église.
Descartes et l’infini : le concept en question
Authors: Arbib Dan 
Published: September 2014

Nous proposons ici une analyse du concept cartésien d’infini à partir de trois paradoxes : 1) du point de vue du corps cartésien, l’infini occupe deux places peu compatibles, à la fois fondateur de la rationalité et inséré en elle ; 2) du point de vue de l’histoire de l’histoire de la métaphysique, l’infini apparaît pour satisfaire l’exigence de la représentation (Duns Scot) et pour y déroger (Levinas) ; 3) du point de vue de l’histoire des noms divins, les enjeux du nom de l’infini se trouvent par deux fois neutralisés, d’une part par le scotisme contre l’effort thomiste ou bonaventurien, d’autre part par les post-cartésiens contre les plus grandes audaces cartésiennes. — Ces trois paradoxes superposables questionnent la cohérence du dispositif cartésien dont l’infini constitue le coeur.
Vers une ontologie humaine intégratrice du handicap et de la fragilité en contexte évolutionniste
Authors: Doat David 
Published: September 2014

Dans un contexte actuel où les questions relevant du domaine de l’éthique monopolisent une grande partie de l’activité philosophique en ce début de xxie siècle, cette étude souhaite démontrer que la thèse de la différence anthropologique et de la valeur inconditionnelle de toute personne humaine — quelles que puissent être ses fragilités — reste éminemment légitime et philosophiquement robuste en contexte évolutionniste. Pour y parvenir par une voie différant, sur le plan de la méthode, d’un raisonnement a priori (transcendantal) de type kantien, l’apport épistémologique de la phénoménologie de la vie de Michel Henry et la philosophie de la biologie de Hans Jonas font l’objet d’une réinterprétation associée aux travaux de Dominique Lambert sur l’hylémorphisme aristotélicien. Une fois repensée en régime darwinien et en tenant compte des apports critiques d’Henry et Jonas, une réactualisation contemporaine de la théorie des formes permet de mettre en évidence les raisons pour lesquelles, d’un point de vue anthropologique et ontologique, l’attention existentielle aux membres plus vulnérables de nos sociétés peut être considérée comme un indice majeur de la découverte par l’homme de la dignité de son être spécifiquement inachevé et vulnérable.
Iron sources and dissolved‐particulate interactions in the seawater of the Western Equatorial Pacific, iron isotope perspectives

AbstractThis work presents iron isotope data in the western equatorial Pacific. Marine aerosols and top core margin sediments display a slightly heavy Fe isotopic composition (δ56Fe) of 0.33 ± 0.11‰ (2SD) and 0.14 ± 0.07‰, respectively. Samples reflecting the influence of Papua New Guinea runoff (Sepik River and Rabaul volcano water) are characterized by crustal values. In seawater, Fe is mainly supplied in the particulate form and is found with a δ56Fe between −0.49 and 0.34 ± 0.07‰. The particulate Fe seems to be brought mainly by runoff and transported across continental shelves and slopes. Aerosols are suspected to enrich the surface Vitiaz Strait waters, while hydrothermal activity likely enriched New Ireland waters. Dissolved Fe isotopic ratios are found between −0.03 and 0.53 ± 0.07‰. They are almost systematically heavier than the corresponding particulate Fe, and the difference between the signature of both phases is similar for most samples with Δ56FeDFe – PFe = +0.27 ± 0.25‰ (2SD). This is interpreted as an equilibrium isotopic fractionation revealing exchange fluxes between both phases. The dissolved phase being heavier than the particles suggests that the exchanges result in a net nonreductive release of dissolved Fe. This process seems to be locally significantly more intense than Fe reductive dissolution documented along reducing margins. It may therefore constitute a very significant iron source to the ocean, thereby influencing the actual estimation of the iron residence time and sinks. The underlying processes could also apply to other elements.
Contemporary Techniques for Freezing Mouse Spermatozoa

Published: September 2014

AbstractEach year, thousands of new mouse models are generated around the world to further biomedical research. Unfortunately, the cost of maintaining mouse colonies makes it uneconomical to keep strains on the shelf that are not part of active research programs. Ideally, these retired strains should be archived. If this is not done and the line is simply killed off, the genetics are lost to future generations of scientists. Traditionally, embryo freezing has been used to cryopreserve mice, but this is expensive, time consuming, requires large numbers of donor females, and usually involves invasive superovulation procedures. Sperm freezing circumvents all of these disadvantages and is rapidly becoming the technique of choice for many repositories. This has been made possible through the use of refined cryoprotective agents and the development of improved in vitro fertilization techniques. This article describes two popular sperm freezing techniques employed by mouse repositories to archive spermatozoa using cryoprotective agents supplemented with either L‐glutamine or monothioglycerol.
