Authors: Otaki Yoshinori , Miyagi Yu , Sanda Fumio 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
The Sonogashira–Hagihara coupling polymerization of l-alanine-derived 2,5-dibromothiophene monomers 1a–1d with p- and m-diethynylbenzenes 2p and 2m gave novel optically active poly(thiophenyleneethynylene-phenyleneethynylene)s poly(1a-2p)–poly(1d-2m). p-Phenylene-linked poly(1b-2p)–poly(1d-2p) bearing amide-amide side chains exhibited CD signals based on chiral aggregates, while the m-phenylene-linked counterparts poly(1b-2m)–poly(1d-2m) exhibited no evidence of the formation of secondary structures. Poly(1a-2p) and poly(1a-2m) bearing amide-ester side chains exhibited no CD signal as well.

Working hours: Balancing risk and productivity
Authors: Moreton Adam 
Published: April 2015

Aim: To create the first evidence-based risk management tool that balances productivity with the likelihood of breeching the European Working Time Directive (EWTD) and band 1 of the current UK junior doctor contract. Thus, providing reassurance to HR managers and junior doctors that a working pattern will not breech contractual and legislative hours limits. Methods: Twenty-one North West England NHS Trusts allowed access to their junior doctor hours monitoring data from 2012/13. Examination of the variance between the anticipated hours of work and that actually worked in practice facilitated the production of a risk-management tool for rota designers. Results: Valid monitoring returns were obtained for 256 full-shift and 47 non-resident on-call rotas. Full-shift specialties with >10 rotas in the dataset, and normally distributed, were used to produce a look-up table that allows rota designers to choose an acceptable percentage likelihood of breeching a pay banding/EWTD. This would be achieved by incorporating a specified minimum number of minutes under/over the 48-hour limit into the template rota as designated by the tool.
Backstage pass to the city: The soundscape of Suite Habana
Authors: Holmes Amanda 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
The objective of this article is to underscore the significance of sound for the full appreciation of film through an analysis of the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds and music of Suite Habana/Havana Suite (2003), by Fernando Pérez, a film that has not yet been interpreted from this perspective. The soundscape of Suite Habana offers a compelling understanding of contemporary urban life and the political and cultural transformations that have occurred in Cuban society. From everyday sounds of cooking, cleaning and daily circulation through the city, to songs and compositions by well-known composers and performers, urban sounds in the film present a profound interpretation of the Cuban capital. Despite its similarities with the city symphony film genre of the 1920s, Suite Habana’s focus on the human side of the urban experience sets this film apart from these earlier examples. Drawing also from experimentation in documentary film in early Revolutionary Cuba, Pérez’s film carefully interweaves everyday sounds to highlight the materiality of urban life, while the incorporation of specific musical pieces and performers underscores the impact of historical changes for the island.

Some Sociological, Medical and Legislative Views on Video Game Addiction (A Slovenian Case Study)
Authors: Goriup Jana , Arnuš Alexander 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Millions of people worldwide play video games; also in Slovenian post-modern society. Most of them do it for enjoyment, yet a small number of individuals show traits associated with addictive behaviour when interacting with their games. The authors in the article point out that, compared to drug abuse, there exist some more approachable life-related activities that can lead to addiction. They stimulate the excretion of endorphins and lead to the transformation of consciousness. Addiction to video games is an ostensible attempt to satisfy the immanent human need for meaning. The economy of the Slovenian young consumer society inspires it and is based on “learning” of these alienated needs. The modern hyperpragmatic society makes it possible for young people to have a fragmented identity and places them under the pressure of constant choice of (formally open opportunities). The purpose of this paper is to familiarize the reader with possible causes, clinical signs and methods of treatment of this disorder in Slovenian postmodern society, and explain the reasons why currently no medical textbook in the world contains any information regarding video game addiction. We intend, further, to demonstrate that gaming has become a type of “sport” in certain countries and demonstrate how potentially devastating even this type of addiction can be. The authors present the results of a research, which was undertaken on a sample of 350 individuals, to determine the appearance of indicators of behavioural addiction to video games and their connection with some family factors. They determine that through addiction to video games, post-modern societies have developed an addictive identity.
Reassessing the Conventional Wisdom: Entitlements from the Inside
Authors: Campbell Andrea Louise 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
A family tragedy enables a social policy scholar to examine how American social assistance works from the recipient perspective. The experience results in a reexamination of conventional wisdom around US social policy. In contrast to the revisionist account, meager social assistance programs are still pretty meager. Despite the bifurcation between deserving and undeserving beneficiaries, some deserving populations are swept into catch-all means-tested programs and fare badly. Finally, the experience forces a new look at research approaches to social policy. More qualitative and ethnographic work is needed, as well as examinations of the interactions among multiple programs and their complicated and often contradictory rules.
Molecular targeting of obesity pathways in cancer
Authors: Surmacz Eva , Otvos Laszlo 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Obesity is a significant risk factor for the development of different cancer types and has been associated with poorer response to oncotherapies and linked to earlier recurrence of the neoplastic disease. While molecular mechanisms of these associations are still under investigation, functional dysregulation of two major fat tissue-derived adipokines, leptin and adiponectin, appears to play an important role. Leptin is known to activate carcinogenic pathways, while adiponectin appears to exert antineoplastic activities and interfere with leptin-induced processes. Because excess body fat is associated with increased leptin expression and adiponectin downregulation, therapeutic rebalancing of these pathways may benefit cancer patients, especially the obese subpopulations. This review focuses on our novel leptin receptor antagonists and adiponectin receptor agonists designed for therapeutic modulation of obesity-associated pathways in cancer.
Power and the Trial: The Tension Between Voices and Silence
Authors: Sgubbi Filippo 
Published: April 2015

AbstractIn Da Ponte’s libretto, the Count of Almaviva called for silence in order to best exercise his institutional authority and pass judgment. Trials have always involved a multitude of voices, and yet a requirement for silence. The trial – in this case the criminal trial – is the most significant instrument of state power and coercion over individuals: according to the specific requirements of those in power, the criminal trial and its individual stages involve at times silence and at times clamour and an adequate
Neuroprotective effects of geniposide on Alzheimer’s disease pathology
Authors: Liu WeiZhen , Li Guanglai , Hölscher Christian , Li Lin 
Published: April 2015

AbstractA growing body of evidence has linked two of the most common aged-related diseases: type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It has led to the notion that drugs developed for the treatment of T2DM may be beneficial in modifying the pathophysiology of AD. As a receptor agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1R), which is a newer drug class to treat T2DM, geniposide shows clear effects in inhibiting pathological processes underlying AD, such as promoting neurite outgrowth. In the present article, we review the possible molecular mechanisms of geniposide to protect the brain from pathologic damages underlying AD: reducing amyloid plaques, inhibiting τ phosphorylation, preventing memory impairment and loss of synapses, reducing oxidative stress and the chronic inflammatory response, and promoting neurite outgrowth via the GLP-1R signaling pathway. In summary, the Chinese herb geniposide shows great promise as a novel treatment for AD.

Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Gifted Students and Differences in Attitudes Regarding the Years of Teaching / Stavovi učitelja prema darovitim učenicima i razlike u stavovima s obzirom na staž
Authors: Perković Krijan Ivana , Borić Edita 
Published: April 2015

AbstractAttitudes help us understand teachers’ relationship towards gifted students and they influence teachers’ practice, which can eventually determine the development of the gifted. The aim of this study was to examine the teachers' attitudes towards gifted students and some forms of work with gifted children in school, such as acceleration and ability grouping; as well as to determine whether teachers differ in their attitudes depending on the years of experience. The study was conducted on a sample of 209 class teachers in the area of Brod-Posavina county. The results showed that primary school teachers have positive attitudes towards the needs, support and social value of gifted students but express ambivalent attitudes towards the acceleration, ability grouping and concern that the special treatment of the gifted could have negative consequences. Statistically significant differences were established for certain statements among teachers depending on their years of teaching.Key words: ability grouping; acceleration; attitudes; gifted students; primary school teachers; years of teaching --- Sažetak Stavovi nam pomažu u razumijevanju odnosa učitelja prema darovitim učenicima te utječu na njihovu nastavnu praksu, što u konačnici može odrediti njihov razvoj. Cilj je ovog istraživanja bio ispitati stavove učitelja razredne nastave prema darovitim učenicima i nekim oblicima rada s darovitima u školi poput akceleracije i grupiranja prema sposobnostima, te utvrditi razlikuju li se učitelji u svojim stavovima s obzirom na godine radnog staža. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 209 učitelja razredne nastave s područja Brodsko-posavske županije. Rezultati su pokazali da učitelji imaju pozitivne stavove prema potrebama, podršci i društvenoj vrijednosti darovitih, no iskazuju neutralne stavove prema akceleraciji, grupiranju prema sposobnostima i bojazni da bi poseban tretman darovitih mogao imati negativne posljedice. Utvrđene su statistički značajne razlike na pojedinim tvrdnjama između učitelja s najmanje radnog staža u odnosu na starije kolege.

Identity of Work of Fine Arts in the Generated Process / Identitet likovnog djela u generiranom procesu
Authors: Rupčić Stjepko 
Published: April 2015

AbstractIn everyday practice computer is used as a means to achieve something. It is rarely used for creative production in which case we speak about the interaction with what the computer enables us to do. We may use the existing programmes as ready-made products as well as places which are changed by reprogramming the already existing programme and changing its settings in a creative way. Thus, a computer's intelligence is situated in its programme. By its nature any programme is a collection of various inputs, strategies and ideas designed to interact with the users. In the case in which a programme transcends the role of a tool and mobilizes its user, it becomes a language, a text, a communicative process. In the emerged identity and knowledge – those terms are the key to the hermeneutical and interactive processes: works of art. The paper studies the relations and aesthetical principles which have emerged as a consequence of co-creativeness in the circumstances in which the work of fine art has been created. It also addresses the problem of the oculocentric culture which, as a dimension of the majority, directs the perception of the crowd towards the traditional understanding derived from the Cartesian doctrine of bipolarity as the foundation of modern thought.Key words: artistic process; hermeneutical; identity; oculocentric culture; software --- SažetakRačunalo se u svakodnevnoj praksi koristi uglavnom kao sredstvo, vrlo rijetko kao alat za kreativne izvedbe. Kod takvog korištenja govorimo o interakciji s onim što nam računalo omogućuje. U tom slučaju postojeće programe možemo iskoristiti kao gotove proizvode, a također i kao mjesta na koja se intervenira programiranjima na već postojeći program i promjenama postavki kreativno djeluje. Računalo, dakle, svoju inteligenciju posjeduje u programu. Na određeni je način bilo koji program, u svojoj naravi, skup najraznovrsnijih unosa, strategija i ideja koji su kao operativni sadržaj predviđeni za interakciju s korisnicima. U slučaju kada program transcendira ulogu samo alata i mobilizira korisnika, tada postaje jezik, tekst, komunikacijski proces. U nastalom identitetu i znanju ti su pojmovi ključ hermeneutičkih interaktivnih procesa: umjetničkih djela. U radu se ispituju odnosi i estetski principi nastali kao posljedica sukreiranosti u okolnostima nastanka likovnog djela. Dotiče se problem okulocentrističke kulture koja kao dimenzija većine usmjerava percepciju mnoštva prema tradicionalističkim shvaćanjima proizašlim iz kartezijanskog učenja o bipolarnosti kao temelja moderne misli.Ključne riječi: hermeneutički; identitet; okulocentristička kultura; programska podrška; umjetnički proces
The EU Seal Products Ban – Why Ineffective Animal Welfare Protection Cannot Justify Trade Restrictions under European and International Trade Law
Authors: Hennig Martin 
Published: April 2015

In this article, the author questions the legitimacy of the general ban on trade in seal products adopted by the European Union. It is submitted that the EU Seal Regime, which permits the marketing of Greenlandic seal products derived from Inuit hunts, but excludes Canadian and Norwegian seal products from the European market, does not ensure a satisfactory degree of animal welfare protection in order to justify the comprehensive trade restriction in place. It is argued that the current ineffective EU ban on seal products, which according to the WTO Appellate Body cannot be reconciled with the objective of protecting animal welfare, has no legal basis in EU Treaties and should be annulled.Keywords: Trade in seal products; animal welfare; rights of indigenous peoples; EU law; WTO law; Arctic(Published: March 2015)Citation: M.

Content-Driven Analysis of an Online Community for Smoking Cessation: Integration of Qualitative Techniques, Automated Text Analysis, and Affiliation Networks
Authors: Myneni Sahiti , Fujimoto Kayo , Cobb Nathan , Cohen Trevor 
Published: April 2015

Objectives. We identified content-specific patterns of network diffusion underlying smoking cessation in the context of online platforms, with the aim of generating targeted intervention strategies. Methods. QuitNet is an online social network for smoking cessation. We analyzed 16 492 de-identified peer-to-peer messages from 1423 members, posted between March 1 and April 30, 2007. Our mixed-methods approach comprised qualitative coding, automated text analysis, and affiliation network analysis to identify, visualize, and analyze content-specific communication patterns underlying smoking behavior. Results. Themes we identified in QuitNet messages included relapse, QuitNet-specific traditions, and cravings. QuitNet members who were exposed to other abstinent members by exchanging content related to interpersonal themes (e.g., social support, traditions, progress) tended to abstain. Themes found in other types of content did not show significant correlation with abstinence. Conclusions. Modeling health-related affiliation networks through content-driven methods can enable the identification of specific content related to higher abstinence rates, which facilitates targeted health promotion.
