Verbo-pictorial metaphor in French advertising
Authors: ALOUSQUE ISABEL NEGRO 
Published: March 2013

ABSTRACTIn the last thirty years the development of the Cognitive Metaphor Theory (e.g. Lakoff, 1987, 2006; Lakoff and Johnson, 1999) has led to vast research into metaphor. The study of linguistic metaphor was followed by a body of work into pictorial metaphor (Forceville, 1994, 1996) and multimodal metaphor (Forceville, 2007, 2008, 2009). In the present contribution we explore the use of verbo-pictorial metaphors in advertising through a corpus of French print ads. Starting from the claim that adverts serve a persuasive purpose, it will be argued that multimodal metaphor contributes to that purpose. The paper addresses three issues: a) how multimodal metaphors are manifested in the French advertisements; b) how image and text interact in a concrete type of multimodal metaphor in French print advertisements, namely verbo-pictorial metaphor; c) how verbo-pictorial metaphor performs a pragmatic function in advertising.

Published: March 2013

SummaryRecent advances in bird tracking technologies are revealing that migratory birds use temporal staging sites other than breeding and wintering areas, and these areas deserve conservation efforts. Eleonora’s Falcon Falco eleonorae is a long-distance migratory raptor that breeds colonially on islands and is considered a priority species for conservation. Anecdotal observations indicate that during the pre-breeding period, Eleonora’s Falcons stay in inland areas far away from the colonies, but, to date there are no detailed data concerning the connectivity between these areas and breeding colonies. Using satellite telemetry, we analysed data from four summering events belonging to three individuals breeding in two colonies in the Western Mediterranean (Spain). All of them made inland movements in areas up to c.400 km distant from the respective breeding colonies, visiting several habitats, from forests to arable lands, probably taking advantage of high densities of insects. Perturbations occurring in these areas could threaten Eleonora’s Falcons with serious consequences at the population level. We suggest that conservation measures implemented at breeding and wintering grounds may not suffice and that temporary staging areas should be identified at a larger scale and deserve protection as well.
Baby leafy green vegetables: providing insight into an old problem? An exploratory qualitative study examining influences on their consumption

Published: March 2013

Issue addressedPopulations in many developed countries continue to fail to meet vegetable consumption recommendations despite ongoing health promotion activities supported by public health policies. Novel ways to encourage vegetable consumption may help address this concern. The aim of the present study was to describe female consumers' perceptions about leafy green vegetables and identify consumption issues.MethodsThree age‐stratified semistructured focus groups were conducted with 23 female participants. Food shopping habits, reported consumption and/or knowledge, and the perceived benefits of and/or issues associated with the consumption of leafy green vegetables were explored. Focus groups were transcribed verbatim. Two researchers examined each transcript in conjunction with accompanying observers' notes. Content and thematic analysis was conducted to identify final themes.ResultsThree key themes were identified: (1) food selection is influenced by time limitations, convenience factors and quality considerations; (2) the repertoire of vegetables is influenced by acceptability within households, familiarity and culinary confidence; and (3) connection with nutritional value is influenced by existing beliefs and knowledge of the nutrient content of leafy green vegetables. Variations found on self‐reported intake and acceptability were related to life stage and needs.ConclusionsLeafy green varieties were perceived as important contributors to a healthy diet. Key barriers to consumption identified in the thematic review related to time constraints, culinary skills and variations in nutritional knowledge.So what?Primary awareness of vegetables as being critical to a healthy diet has been established. Future health promotion activities could focus more on convenience, nutrient quality and versatility of leafy green vegetables, and other similar vegetables, as a way to increase total consumption.

Issue addressedNew national and state preventive health investments have provided significant funding for local governments (LGs) to be involved in planning and implementing health promotion interventions. There is an expectation that this work is evidence based; however, inadequate support and systems exist for evidence‐informed planning and decision making in LGs. Previous initiatives have aimed to build capacity and leadership in LG health promotion, but the training, support and infrastructure have been sporadic.MethodsAcross 2009–11 we implemented a National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NHMRC)‐funded university‐LG research project to explore the feasibility, usefulness and outcomes of a knowledge translation (KT) intervention to increase the use of evidence in LGs. Within this exploratory cluster randomised controlled trial, one strategy being evaluated was workforce capacity building, during which group discussions revealed contextual challenges in delivering evidence‐informed health promotion within the current funding context. Discussion was recorded. The group acknowledged the need to identify barriers and realistic practical solutions, and to communicate these more broadly.ResultsBarriers to sourcing and applying evidence to inform health promotion emerged from discussions with LG representatives. System‐level contextual factors affecting decisions were also discussed, namely concerns about organisational capacity and ‘culture’ to plan, implement and evaluate effective initiatives in LGs. Possible solutions suggested included: systems for access to academic literature; processes that make it easier to use evidence; training in evidence‐informed health promotion to build organisational culture and capacity; and research‐practice partnerships and mentoring.ConclusionsTargeted strategies with individuals (LG staff) and organisations (leadership, systems) are needed to realise the potential of current health promotion investments. Research‐practice partnerships are likely to be important. It seems obvious that it is impossible to be evidence informed without mechanisms to access and apply evidence. We invite other LGs to reflect upon their experiences in such initiatives, and to consider whether the strategies we propose may be useful.So what?The increased emphasis on health promotion and non‐communicable disease prevention programs may be limited by the capacity, confidence and organisational culture to inform policies and programs with best‐available evidence. We describe some of the current challenges and contextual factors as they are being experienced. There are opportunities for national and state governments, organisations representing local government (e.g. municipal associations) and research partners to provide targeted support to councils. This may assist in achieving effective health promotion at the community level.

Issues addressedThe ‘Waist’ Disposal Challenge (WDC) is a lay‐led community‐based health intervention in Rotary clubs in Western Australia aimed at reducing risk factors leading to lifestyle‐related chronic diseases and, in particular, obesity. Ninety‐three lay health advisors (LHA) or Champions were trained to deliver educational sessions to their clubs (for 1300 peers) and implement a body mass index competition by taking monthly weigh‐ins (for 764 peers).MethodsA mixed method design was used to explore Champions' experiences with the training program and their perceived role and impact on implementing the program in their clubs in 2010–11.ResultsThe qualitative data provided important evidence that initial implementation of this LHA‐led health promotion intervention (WDC) has been effective and impacted positively on the Champions and their Rotary clubs. The results were a good fit in the two social action arenas of the Natural Helper Intervention Model: peer‐to‐peer social support and community attachment.ConclusionsReflecting on the impact of the program in their clubs, Champions reported overall health improvements at the personal, peer and community levels, enhanced awareness about health‐related issues, improved health behaviour and enhanced community capacity.So what?Champions are an important resource for providing self‐management education to people who are at risk of developing chronic conditions, particularly for those hard to reach and where there are difficulties recruiting trained health professionals. Future research needs to explore the characteristics of Champions that impact on the success of community‐based programs.
Health priorities and perceived health determinants among Western Australians attending the 2011 LGBTI Perth Pride Fairday Festival
Authors: Comfort Jude , McCausland Kahlia 
Published: March 2013

Issue addressedAlthough data exist demonstrating poorer health indicators on a range of health outcomes for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and intersex (LGBTI) people, there is little information as to how this group perceives the relative importance of different health issues or what the underlying reasons behind poorer health may be.MethodA self‐completed survey was administered to people attending the October 2011 LGBTI Perth Pride Fairday Festival. Three hundred and fifty‐one people completed the survey, resulting in a total of 335 useable surveys. One hundred and seventy‐eight participants identified as female, 145 as male, four as transgender and eight as other genders.ResultsDepression, anxiety, excessive worry or panic attacks and problems in family relationships were reported as the most important individual health issues, whereas depression, suicide and HIV/AIDS were seen as the most important health issues affecting the LGBTI community. Discrimination was rated the most important social factor impacting on the health and well being of this community.ConclusionsWhen members of the LGBTI community were asked to rank health issues of importance both individually and as a community, the results indicate that mental health issues are of prime concern. Discrimination and the stress of living as part of this minority group were seen as contributing to this. Health promotion and public health need to be responsive to these issues if real gains are to be made in reducing the health inequities affecting this group.So what?This research highlights the link between social justice, social inclusion and health outcomes. The health of LGBTI people is rarely considered by mainstream agencies, despite poorer health outcomes. Sensitive and targeted public health interventions that resonate with the community and that acknowledge the impact of being part of this marginalised group are required.
Health promotion and crime prevention: recognising broader synergies
Authors: Young Janette , Sarre Rick 
Published: March 2013

Issue addressedAlthough health promotion and crime prevention have been brought together to address specific social ills, such as illicit drugs and road trauma, there is little literature that seeks to lift the connections between the fields of health and justice to a more general level.MethodsThe present paper explores the synergies between health promotion and crime prevention by considering a range of parallels between them.ResultsHealth promotion and crime prevention can be shown to have several parallel interests, agendas, systemic locations and shared population foci, indicating a potential for more conscious engagement between each field.ConclusionThere are a range of synergies, parallels and shared interests that crime prevention and health promotion share. These fields could develop more supportive networks with each other.So what?There is scope for those who champion both crime prevention and health promotion to align more readily in activities of public policy, academia and practice. In addition, the two fields and their advocates could be more supportive of each other in progressing agendas of social equity. Health promotion practitioners could consider seeking to extend their employment and opportunities by being aware of projects, employment and relationships outside of health in the field of crime prevention.
New approaches for tackling the khapra beetle.
Authors: Eliopoulos P. A. 
Published: March 2013

Abstract

The khapra beetle,
Trogoderma granarium
Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) is a very destructive pest of stored agricultural products and one of the most important quarantine insect pests worldwide. Very strict legislation and other measures are being taken by many countries so as to prevent the introduction of this pest and avoid export restrictions on their agricultural products. In countries where the khapra beetle is established or occasionally detected, classic management tactics are being improved and new methods are being developed in order to prevent the spread of the infestation or to eradicate, if possible, this feared pest. This review aims not only to provide insight in recent advances on identification, detection, exclusion and control methods of
T. granarium
, but also to consolidate the available recent and older information and provide an analysis of the published work. Potential areas for growth in the management of khapra beetle include, among others, rapid molecular identification, trapping, combination of fumigation with modified atmospheres or heat, irradiation and plant extracts. Certain advantages, limitations, mode of action, potentiality and effectiveness of each method are discussed.
Ranolazine-Induced Myopathy in a Patient on Chronic Statin Therapy
Authors: Correa Daniel , Landau Mark 
Published: March 2013

Abstract
We present a case demonstrating clinical, electrophysiological, serological, and radiological evidence of a myopathy induced by ranolazine, in a patient otherwise asymptomatic on chronic statin therapy. The patient developed proximal weakness, serum creatine kinase levels of 1875 U/L, electromyography with muscle membrane instability and small short-duration motor unit potentials, and magnetic resonance imaging evidence of muscle edema. The manifestations began within one week of initiation of ranolazine and improved within days after discontinuation. Ranolazine is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4 known to increase the serum level of simvastatin and its active metabolite 2-fold. We postulate that the addition of ranolazine to a medical regimen that included atorvastatin induced a myoncecrotic myopathy.

ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity, and the impact of body mass index (BMI) on maternal and neonatal outcomes, in a UK obstetric population.DesignRetrospective study.SettingA tertiary referral unit in Northern Ireland.PopulationA total of 30 298 singleton pregnancies over an 8‐year period, 2004–2011.MethodsWomen were categorised according to World Health Organization classification: underweight (BMI < 18.50 kg/m2); normal weight (BMI 18.50–24.99 kg/m2; reference group); overweight (BMI 25.00–29.99 kg/m2); obese class I (BMI 30.00–34.99 kg/m2); obese class II (BMI 35–39.99 kg/m2); and obese class III (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2). Maternal and neonatal outcomes were examined using logistic regression, adjusted for confounding variables.Main outcome measuresMaternal and neonatal outcomes.ResultsCompared with women of normal weight, women who were overweight or obese class I were at significantly increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (OR 1.9, 99% CI 1.7–2.3; OR 3.5, 99% CI 2.9–4.2); gestational diabetes mellitus (OR 1.7, 99% CI 1.3–2.3; OR 3.7, 99% CI 2.8–5.0); induction of labour (OR 1.2, 99% CI 1.1–1.3; OR 1.3, 99% CI 1.2–1.5); caesarean section (OR 1.4, 99% CI 1.3–1.5; OR 1.8, 99% CI 1.6–2.0); postpartum haemorrhage (OR 1.4, 99% CI 1.3–1.5; OR 1.8, 1.6–2.0); and macrosomia (OR 1.5, 99% CI 1.3–1.6; OR 1.9, 99% CI 1.6–2.2), with the risks increasing for obese classes II and III. Women in obese class III were at increased risk of preterm delivery (OR 1.6, 99% CI 1.1–2.5), stillbirth (OR 3.0, 99% CI 1.0–9.3), postnatal stay > 5 days (OR 2.1, 99% CI 1.5–3.1), and infant requiring admission to a neonatal unit (OR 1.6, 99% CI 1.0–2.6).ConclusionsBy categorising women into overweight and obesity subclassifications (classes I –III), this study clearly demonstrates an increasing risk of adverse outcomes across BMI categories, with women who are overweight also at significant risk.

Published: March 2013

AbstractAimsEthnicity is a risk factor for the prevalence of severe chronic kidney disease among patients with diabetes. We studied the effect of ethnicity on progression of chronic kidney disease in people with diabetes managed in community settings.MethodsA 5‐year retrospective, community‐based cohort study of 3855 people with diabetes mellitus of white, black or South Asian ethnicity with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of < 60 ml min−1 1.73 m−2 was undertaken. From 135 general practices in east London, all cases with at least 3 years clinical data were included. Using repeated‐measures analysis, the annual decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate was calculated. Comparisons between the rate of decline in the three main ethnic groups, with and without proteinuria at baseline, were made.ResultsThe annual adjusted decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate for this cohort was 0.85 ml min−1 1.73 m−2. The rate of chronic kidney disease progression was significantly greater in South Asian groups (–1.01 ml min−1 1.73 m−2) compared with white groups (–0.70 ml min−1 1.73 m−2) (P = 0.001). For those with proteinuria at baseline, the annual decline was greater at 2.05 ml min−1 1.73 m−2, with both South Asian and black groups having a significantly faster rate of decline than white groups.ConclusionsFor patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease managed in primary care, the annual decline of renal function is less than previously thought and approximates the age‐related annual decline of 1 ml min−1 1.73 m−2. Patients with proteinuria and those of South Asian and Black ethnicity need additional monitoring as they are at greater risk of rapid chronic kidney disease progression.

AbstractAimsControversies still exist regarding the relative contributions of insulin resistance and β‐cell dysfunction to the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes in different populations. We examined the associations of baseline insulin resistance and β‐cell function indices with the development of Type 2 diabetes in Koreans.MethodsWe analysed the clinical and laboratory data of 17 878 Korean adults (age 20–79 years) who underwent routine medical examinations with a median interval of 3.5 years (range 2.5–4.7 years). Using the homeostasis model assessment, insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR) and β‐cell function (HOMA‐%B) indices at baseline were assessed.ResultsThose who developed diabetes (n = 732, 4.1%) had significantly higher fasting serum insulin level (53.4 ± 31.2 vs. 41.4 ± 23.4 pmol/l) and HOMA‐IR (2.38 ± 1.45 vs. 1.65 ± 1.02) and lower HOMA‐%B (74 ± 47 vs. 85 ± 48) at baseline (P < 0.001 for all). Both high HOMA‐IR and low HOMA‐%B were independently associated with an increased odds ratio of incident Type 2 diabetes. Among the participants who developed diabetes, 29% demonstrated predominant β‐cell dysfunction (HOMA‐%B < 25th percentile) and 51% had predominant insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR > 75th percentile). When we divided the participants according to the median BMI of the whole population (23.7 kg/m2), 49% of participants in the low BMI group demonstrated predominant β‐cell dysfunction and 26% had predominant insulin resistance, whilst 21% in the high BMI group demonstrated mainly β‐cell dysfunction and 60% had mainly insulin resistance.ConclusionsIn individuals with low BMI, β‐cell dysfunction is the predominant defect, whereas insulin resistance is the predominant pathogenetic factor in individuals with high BMI in the development of Type 2 diabetes in Koreans.

AbstractSupreme Court cases have questioned if jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act extends to water bodies such as streams without year‐round flow. Headwater streams are central to this issue because many periodically dry, and because little is known about their influence on navigable waters. An accurate account of the extent and flow permanence of headwater streams is critical to estimating downstream contributions. We compared the extent and permanence of headwater streams from two field surveys with values from databases and maps. The first used data from 29 headwater streams in nine U.S. forests, whereas the second had data from 178 headwater streams in Oregon. Synthetic networks developed from the nine‐forest survey indicated that 33 to 93% of the channel lacked year‐round flow. Seven of the nine forests were predicted to have >200% more channel length than portrayed in the high‐resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). The NHD and topographic map classifications of permanence agreed with ~50% of the field determinations across ~300 headwater sites. Classification agreement with the field determinations generally increased with increasing resolution. However, the flow classification on soil maps only agreed with ~30% of the field determination despite depicting greater channel extent than other maps. Maps that include streams regardless of permanence and size will aid regulatory decisions and are fundamental to improving water quality monitoring and models.
