Mothers' Experiences of Engaging in Occupational Performance Coaching
Authors: Graham Fiona , Rodger Sylvia , Ziviani Jenny 
Published: April 2014

Introduction: Occupational Performance Coaching is an intervention provided to parents, which targets their goals in occupational performance for themselves and their children. Preliminary evidence points to its effectiveness; however, little is known about parents' experiences of engaging in Occupational Performance Coaching. Method: Within a larger mixed methods study, a purpose-designed survey comprising open and closed questions was used to explore parents' (N = 29) experiences of engaging in Occupational Performance Coaching. The survey targeted their impressions, learning experiences, and perceptions of the impact of Occupational Performance Coaching. Numerical data were analysed descriptively; written comments were analysed using content analysis. In this case all participants were mothers. Findings: Mothers' descriptions of Occupational Performance Coaching were largely positive. Learning experiences included gaining insights about themselves and their children alongside learning specific strategies to support their children's occupational performance. They reported greater understanding of their children and a perception that Occupational Performance Coaching had engendered a calmer, happier emotional tone within the family. Conclusion: Mothers perceived Occupational Performance Coaching as a valuable means to support their children and themselves to attain occupational performance goals. Findings prompt greater attention to coaching approaches and, more widely, the use of transformative learning as a means to enabling occupation.
Validating an Irish-Language Version of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test — Second Edition
Authors: Hynes Sinéad , Shiel Agnes 
Published: April 2014

Introduction: This study translates and assesses the psychometric properties of an Irish-language version of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test — Second Edition (Wilson et al 2003), a screening measure for memory impairment in adults. Method: All four versions of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test — Second Edition were translated to Irish and administered to a sample of 21 participants aged 21–64 years. Equivalent translation of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test — Second Edition was achieved through multiple translations and back-translations of the instrument and field-testing with both bilingual and monolingual participants. Findings: Strong evidence of concurrent validity was clear from the results. Test—retest reliability of the measure proved to be low in comparison with the English version. In general, the four parallel versions seem to be of equal difficulty, and the Irish version of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test — Second Edition was no more difficult than the English version. Conclusion: The results support an Irish Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test — Second Edition as a valid test of everyday memory. Overall, the reliability of the tool is acceptable, but results must be considered cautiously due to the preliminary nature of the study and given the small sample size.
An ACGME Duty Hour Compliant 3-Person Night Float System for Neurological Surgery Residency Programs
Authors: Ragel Brian T. , Piedra Mark , Klimo Paul , Burchiel Kim J. , Waldo Heidi , McCartney Shirley , Selden Nathan R. 
Published: April 2014

Abstract

Background
In 2003, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) instituted the 24+6-hour work schedule and 80-hour workweek, and in 2011, it enhanced work hour and supervision standards.

Innovation
In response, Oregon Health & Science University's (OHSU) neurological surgery residency instituted a 3-person night float system.

Methods
We analyzed work hour records and operative experience for 1 year before and after night float implementation in a model that shortened a combined introductory research and basic clinical neurosciences rotation from 12 to 6 months. We analyzed residents' perception of the system using a confidential survey. The ACGME 2011 work hour standards were applied to both time periods.

Results
After night float implementation, the number of duty hour violations was reduced: 28-hour shift (11 versus 235), 8 hours off between shifts (2 versus 20), 80 hours per week (0 versus 17), and total violations (23 versus 275). Violations increased only for the less than 4 days off per 4-week interval rule (10 versus 3). No meaningful difference was seen in the number of operative cases performed per year at any postgraduate year (PGY) training level: PGY-2 (336 versus 351), PGY-3 (394 versus 354), PGY-4 (803 versus 802), PGY-5 (1075 versus 1040), PGY-7 (947 versus 913), and total (3555 versus 3460). Residents rated the new system favorably.

Conclusions
To meet 2011 ACGME duty hour standards, the OHSU neurological surgery residency instituted a 3-person night float system. A nearly complete elimination of work hour violations did not affect overall resident operative experience.
The Measurement of Dutch Dialect Change: Lexicon versus Morphology versus Sound Components
Authors: Heeringa Wilbert , Hinskens Frans 
Published: April 2014

In this paper we report on a dialectometrical study of dialect change at the lexical, morphological and sound component levels. In particular, recently collected fieldwork data on a reasonable number of different Dutch dialects have been analysed to trace the processes leading to their convergence and/or divergence. Then, using these data, we provide the answers to four sets of research questions: Do dialects change? Do the patterns of change at the different levels correlate with each other? Which level is most strongly affected? Do dialects converge towards each other? Do the patterns of convergence/divergence at the different levels correlate with each other? Do dialects converge towards or diverge from standard Dutch? Do the patterns of convergence/divergence at the different levels correlate with each other? Do dialects which are distant from standard Dutch converge more strongly towards it than those that are closer to it? Can dialect change be explained by convergence among dialects and dialect convergence towards standard Dutch? In Section 2, as a first step towards answering the research questions, we outline the methods used to collect the data in the field and the measurement techniques applied to this information. Then, in Section 3, some initial results are presented and the research questions are answered. As this contribution is an interim report on work-in-progress, only part of our planned study can be discussed herein. Accordingly, only the preliminary conclusions from the outcomes of the available data for this part of the project will be discussed in Section 4.
Koineization in the present-day Dutch dialect landscape: postvocalic /r/ and more
Authors: Hinskens Frans 
Published: April 2014

This contribution addresses a number of conceptual and methodological issues regarding processes of dialect change leading to koineization. After a discussion of some notions and key findings from a few recent relevant studies concerning present-day Dutch dialects, two paradigms of linguistic theorizing will be briefly presented. Next, these paradigms will be compared on the basis of the findings from a recent diachronic study of the deletion of postvocalic /r/ before coronal obstruents. It will be shown that only one of the paradigms survives this test. As to the internal factors, the study offers evidence for the claim that, as far as phonological and morphophonological variation is concerned, the place of a given dialect feature in the typology of phonological rules plays a determining role in its chances for survival in situations of long-lasting, extensive dialect contact. Finally, attention will be paid to some desiderata and possibilities for further research which are either of a methodological (especially data related) or of a more theoretical nature.
Women Struggle for Legal Empowerment in Pakistan Historical Overview
Authors: Noreen Naveeda , Musarrat Razia 
Published: April 2014

Pakistan is a democratic country, wherein women comprised half of its population. The plight of women rights in Pakistan is not satisfactory, but with the pace of time, the process of legal empowerment for women is in progression. The enforcement of laws lead towards safeguarding women rights more, which culminated into protection of women in a better way. In this study, the process of legal empowerment and protection of women rights has been evaluated in historical perspective. Women are fighting for their rights since colonial period. After creation of Pakistan, women are struggling for attaining more and more legal protection and empowerment. Laws are the reflection of the values of society. The military rulers who were always in quest of legitimacy repealed the laws to safeguard their own interests. which lessened the efficacy of these laws towards protecting women rights. The modernization of the society and awareness among the women compelled the elected Governments to take steps to repeal the discriminatory laws even Hadood Ordinance and honor killings. In Pakistan the lives of the women are governed more by the customs and values rather statutory laws. There are many factors responsible for the poor protection of women rights, lack of education, rigid values system, absence of proper implementation of the laws and complex judicial system.
The Indonesian Forestry in Economic, Ecosystem and Legal Perspectives
Authors: Wiriadinata Wahyu 
Published: April 2014

Forest and forestry are strategic factors, because the forest existence in Indonesia as the world lung and it can maintain ecosystem equilibrium. A destruction in Indonesian’s forest can also affect and result in destruction in living environment. The forestry of Indonesia is in fact, especially in Borneo region has largely reduced and destructed. Its biological heterogenity has substantially been eliminated, too. This instance is, among other, caused by people’s shifting cultivation, illegal cuttings by local peoples, illegal cutting and logging by the Forest Managing Rights and its slash and burn. This article is written from literature research findings presented in analytical descriptive form. The objective of this article presentation is to provide an illustration and true condition about the Indonesian’s forest as an important strategic factor, where the forest itself and forestry has valuable role and serve as medium for maintaining the ecosystem equilibrium and preserve the world environmental life, especially in Indonesia itself and the most important objective of this research may be contribute a valuable benefit for entire scientific world and especially for the science of law. For preventing of the continuous forestry destruction and its recovery, it is important to make protective steps through legal instruments by appropriate and fair sanction enforcement, pursuant to the 41 Act of 1999 about Forestry, formulation of legal offense and the forestry criminal acts contained in Article 50. The heaviest sanction is 15 years in jail punishment and its highest fine is Rp. 10 billions and rehabilitation by reforestration.
From “Al Aaraaf” to the Universe of Stars
Authors: Rachman Stephen 
Published: April 2014

AbstractThis paper traces the patterns of Poe's cosmological thinking from the Romantic science fiction of “Al Aaraaf” (1829) at the outset of his career to the poetic cosmology of Eureka (1848) at the end of his career. In particular, I am concerned with the ways that Poe incorporated Koranic, scientific, and aesthetic elements to imagine medial spaces as a place to conduct his poetic, literary, and cosmological practice. As the 1829 headnote to “Al Aaraaf” informs the reader: “Al Aaraaf, among the Arabians, a medium between Heaven and Hell, is supposed to be located in the celebrated star discovered by Tycho Brahe, which burst forth in one night upon the eyes of the world, and disappeared as suddenly.” This article addresses the implications of the occupation of medial spaces such as “Al Aaraaf” in Poe's work in two directions: the aesthetic and the cosmological. In terms of aesthetics these medial spaces lead Poe to considerations of the Arabesque as cultural figure and aesthetic pattern he would deploy and redeploy as he moved from poetry to short fiction with direct consequences for his treatment of the grotesque, the category that would come to dominate his reputation. In terms of cosmology, these medial spaces would return in Eureka (and in other moments in his work), as a central area of consideration in his theory of the generation and fate of the universe.
“The Bells,” Performance, and the Politics of Poetry
Authors: McGann Jerome J. 
Published: April 2014

Abstract
The prevalence of ontological and thematic approaches to Poe's poetry has made understanding and appreciation of its highly innovative procedures very difficult. The poetry operates primarily through strong phonosemantic protocols, however, and as such its interpretation ought to be primarily performative—as one insists that interpreting a piece of music means executing a deliberated performance. “The Bells” provides an exemplary case of how Poe organizes his poetry as a challenge to reader performance. The poem presents a set of performance options whose function is to require the reader to make a declarative presentation of what s/he understands the poem to mean—that is, how s/he understands the poem's performative options should be executed. The particular performance—various options are on offer—license an array of particular interpretations that answer exactly to the particular character of the poetic work.
Impacts of Schedule Reliability and Sailing Frequency on the Liner Shipping and Port Industry: A Study of Daily Maersk
Authors: Zhang Abraham , Lee Lam Jasmine Siu 
Published: April 2014

AbstractImproving schedule reliability and sailing frequency as triggered by the launch of Daily Maersk by Maersk Line has profoundly influenced the liner shipping industry since late 2011. In contrast to a standard weekly service, Daily Maersk offers daily departures. It also guarantees transportation times in an industry that has long had a notorious reputation of schedule unreliability. This article first quantifies that Daily Maersk substantially reduces a shipper's supply chain inventories, including cycle stock, pipeline stock, and safety stock. It then systematically analyzes the Daily Maersk effect on the liner shipping industry and its long-term implications for the supporting port industry. Recommendations are given to shipping lines and ports for their strategic planning in an increasingly competitive business environment.
Aficionados, Academics, and Danzón Expertise: Exploring Hierarchies in Popular Music Knowledge Production
Authors: Malcomson Hettie 
Published: April 2014

AbstractAmateur scholars, such as aficionados, fans, intellectuals, are rarely valued in the twenty-first-century academy, despite their often-encyclopedic knowledge. In this paper, I focus on Mexican aficionados of the popular Cuban music danzón to explore how these mostly older men manage social contexts where they are often marginalized. Drawing on Bourdieu, I examine how danzón aficionados negotiate their field of expertise by employing overlapping strategies: accumulating myriad "facts" and "truths", creating the possibility of ignorance in others, and competing for hegemonic masculine capital. I analyze danzón aficionados’ relationships with musicians and dancers, consider power dynamics between these aficionados and academics, and draw on Léon and Romero to discuss relationships between regional and hegemonic scholarship more broadly. I argue that beyond reflexivity and criticism, collective activism is required to reconfigure value systems and symbolic economies, and to fight institutional pressures to reproduce existing power structures.
"Just Exotic Enough:" Swedish Chamber Klezmer as Postnational World Music and Mid-East Proxy
Authors: Kaminsky David 
Published: April 2014

AbstractHere I examine the music and discourse of two Swedish non-Jewish chamber klezmer bands, and their strategies for claiming klezmer and distancing it from Jews. One band claims that klezmer, having always been subject to travel and outside influence, was never really Jewish. The other suggests that klezmer was inherited by European non-Jews after the Holocaust. Both arguments are predicated on the Herderian nationalist denial of cultural ownership to landless peoples. I argue that these claims are ultimately about allowing Swedes to mitigate their anxieties concerning Middle-Eastern immigration, by granting them possession of a safely domesticated form of Easternness.
Guitar Playing and Representation in the Changing Locations of New York City’s African Music Scene
Authors: Racanelli David 
Published: April 2014

AbstractFor the past decade, a handful of African guitarists and their groups have formed the basis of the African music scene in New York City. They have performed in diasporic African contexts and cosmopolitan, mostly non- African, settings drawing upon notions of difference that have greatly characterized various representations of African music. For these guitarists and their collaborators, difference and musical diversity have helped to comprise a shared aggregate of tendencies and resources that have informed their playing, performance practice, and compositional habits. As a participant-observer and researcher since 2005, I have discovered the extent to which these guitarists have appropriated different musical ideas and practices-African and non- African-making them their own. In this article, I examine the differences of aesthetics and musical conception that have informed guitar playing and representation in contrasting diasporic and cosmopolitan contexts. I aim to provide the reader with some insights concerning the varied forms of verbal and musical discourse that African guitarists have employed to represent African music in New York City. Lastly, I consider recent occurrences that might raise questions regarding the future of African jazz.
Sound, Silence, Music: Power
Authors: Wong Deborah 
Published: April 2014

Abstract
One afternoon in the mid-1990s, I walked past a bookstore in Berkeley, California and stopped to look at the window display. It featured a group of at least twenty books with wildly divergent subjects that were clearly meant to be viewed together, and I stared, puzzled, until I suddenly saw that each book title had the word "power" in it. They bore titles like Power and Accountability, Power and Beauty, Power and Civil Society, Power and Community, Power and Difference, Power and Empowerment, Power and Everyday Life, Power and Gender, and so on. Power was everywhere: Foucault had gone off like a bomb in the humanities and the social sciences.

Published: April 2014

Background: Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) provides excellent diagnostic and prognostic information. A primary limitation of SPECT is radiation exposure. New cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) technology has allowed for reduced radiation exposure. Methods: A cohort of 414 consecutive patients undergoing very low-dose SPECT MPI utilizing CZT technology was analyzed. Patients received rest/stress dosing strategies of 111/333, 148/444, 222/666, 296/888, 370/1110 Megabecquerels (MBq) (3/9, 4/12, 6/18, 8/24, 10/30 millicuries) depending on their weight and body mass index. Image quality was visually assessed by the reading cardiologist (scale: 1 = poor; 2 = fair; 3 = good; 4 = excellent). Results: 58% of patients received 111/333MBq, 22% received 148/444MBq, 13% received 222/666MBq, 6% received 296/888MBq, and 1% received 370/1110MBq. The estimated radiation dose was 3.6, 4.8, 7.2, 9.6, and 12 millisieverts respectively. The average image quality for the cohort was 3.3 ± 0.7. The rest/stress counts (103) for 111/333 and 148/444 groups were 532 ± 212/1718 ± 525 and 545 ± 177/1748 ± 399, while the rest/stress counts (103) for the 222/666 and 296/888 groups were 673 ± 178/2235 ± 923 and 764 ± 249/2588 ± 788 respectively. The 111/333 and 148/444 groups had significantly lower counts than the 222/666 and 296/888 groups, but only the 296/888 group had a significant difference in image quality when compared to the 111/333 group, with the 111/333 group having better image quality. Conclusion: CZT technology permits rapid, very low-dose MPI studies to be performed, thus, reducing the radiation exposure for patients, while still providing high quality, diagnostic perfusion results. The majority of our patients were imaged at less than 4mSv.

Published: April 2014

The aim of the study was to determine monthly (2007) the content and deposition of Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn in leaf fallen litterfall samples collected in four sites, northeastern Mexico. Site 1 was located at 1600 m of altitude in a pine forest, mixed with deciduous trees; site 2 was at 550 m in the ecotone of a Quercus spp. forest and submontane scrub; sites 3 and 4 (at 350 m and at 300 m, respectively) were located in the Tamaulipan Thornscrub vegetation. Leaf fallen litterfall samples at each site (2,500 m2) were obtained from ten canisters of 1.02 m that were randomly situated at each site. The Cu annual deposition (g ha-1 yr-1) was significantly different among sites being higher in site 4 (23.2) and lower in site 1 (4.1). Fe deposition was also significantly higher in site 4 (522.2) and lower in site 1 (120.0). Mn was higher in site 2 (479.4) and lower in site 1 (64.6). Zn was significantly higher in site 1 (62.8) and lower in site 1 (24.3). Micronutrient annual order deposition was as follows: Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu. Differences in deposition may be attributable to environmental conditions and plant species composition at each studied plant community.
