Form Follows Faith: Swedish Architects, Expertise and New Religious Spaces in the Stockholm Suburbs
Authors: Mack Jennifer 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
In 2007, the City of Stockholm initiated the Järva Lift to remodel several ‘segregated’ suburbs, originally constructed during the state-sponsored ‘Million Programme’ (1965–1974). Recognizing the area’s large immigrant population, the Lift proposed several new mosques; Spridd’s Multicultural Centre, Johan Celsing’s Rinkeby Mosque and a new building for the Stockholm Large Mosque Organization with collaboration from Tengbom are now planned. Here, I explore how these projects travel, both across domains of design expertise and through the planning regimes of the Swedish capital. Many constituents have origins in Somalia, yet architects from countries like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have been asked to submit sketches, and Swedish architects have ultimately been hired to create or reshape designs that appeal to the local planning bureaucracy. Intriguingly, all three Swedish firms – ranging from boutique to corporate – have never before designed a mosque. Clients request intricate façade details or distinct interior spaces for men and women, moves that are considered ‘un-Swedish’ for formal and social reasons respectively. In response, two mosques are described as merging Muslim and Scandinavian design traditions, and one architect proposes the eventual disappearance of a mobile panelling system designed to separate worshippers of different genders. Has bureaucratic expertise trumped the design knowledge that a more seasoned mosque architect might bring?
Bird Names and Folklore from the Emberá (Chocó) in Darién, Panamá
Authors: Kane Stephanie C. 
Published: June 2015

This paper presents data on names and folklore of birds collected among native speakers of Emberá in the moist tropical forests of Darién, Panamá. The naming data was collected by systematic elicitation of names from pictorial representations of birds. It is organized here to facilitate analysis of various aspects of folk taxonomy in relation to scientific taxonomy. Folklore about birds collected in natural contexts is also included to indicate the role of birds and their names in symbolic processes that exceed the limits of literal reference.

Polymorphisms of CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 activity: phenotypes and the effect of age and sex in a Nigerian population
Authors: Adehin Ayorinde , Bolaji Oluseye O. 
Published: June 2015

Abstract

Background: CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 are polymorphic enzymes that metabolise several compounds of clinical importance. This study investigated the prevalent phenotypes of these enzymes and the influence of age and sex on enzyme activity in a Nigerian population.

Methods: Caffeine (110 mg) was administered to each of 129 healthy, unrelated subjects (85 males and 44 females) who were non-smokers. Urine voided within 7 h after caffeine administration was collected for a high performance liquid chromatographic assay of caffeine (137X), 1,7-dimethyluric acid (17U) and 1,7-dimethylxanthine (17X). CYP1A2 activity was measured as a ratio of (17U+17X) to 137X, while 17U/17X served as marker for CYP2A6. Transformed data were analysed and the influences of age and sex on activity were also determined.

Results: Distribution of CYP1A2 activity in the population was bimodal with a mean±SD of 0.82±0.41, while that of CYP2A6 was trimodal with a mean±SD activity of 0.27±0.42 of the log-transformed urinary molar ratio of metabolites. The influences of age and sex on enzyme activity for both CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 were not significant (p>0.05).

Conclusions: The study established the prevalence of polymorphism in phenotypes of CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 activity in the Nigerian population, but no influence of age and sex on enzyme activity was observed in this population.

A Spatial and Longitudinal Analysis of Unmet Transportation Needs During Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
Authors: Joh Kenneth , Norman Alexandria , Bame Sherry I. 
Published: June 2015

AbstractHurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the US Gulf Coast in 2005, leading to the largest mass evacuation in US history and straining the region’s transportation infrastructure and services. This case study addresses the topic of disaster response to transportation unmet needs through an unprecedented spatial and longitudinal analysis of transportation-related disaster 2-1-1 call data collected in real-time, allowing for the investigation of unmet transportation needs by location and disaster phases. The authors analyze 25,205 transportation-related calls logged in Texas’ 25 regional 2-1-1 Area Information Centers from August 1 to December 31, 2005, including a baseline period before Hurricane Katrina, evacuation and landfall, and 3-months recovery post-Hurricane Rita. The spatial results show that transportation unmet needs were concentrated in Texas’ major metropolitan areas, especially in Houston-Galveston, and along highway evacuation routes. However, after controlling for population size, areas close to the landfall site and evacuation destinations had greater unmet transportation needs. Longitudinally, transportation unmet needs surged during evacuation and immediate disaster response then returned to baseline levels during recovery. Based on the results of the case study analyzing Texas 2-1-1 call data of unmet transportation needs, strategies and policies for improving mass evacuation and transportation support services are proposed and discussed.
The Response Phase of the Disaster Management Life Cycle Revisited Within the Context of “Disasters Out of the Box”
Authors: De Smet Hans , Schreurs Bert , Leysen Jan 
Published: June 2015

AbstractSince the second half of the latest century the disaster landscape has experienced important changes. Disasters are not only increasing in quantity, they are also qualitatively different and seem to distress humanity to a considerably higher degree than in the past. This evolution does not only deeply affect modern societies; it might also have a disruptive impact on the intervening units of emergency management organizations. Recent disaster research mainly focuses on mitigation efforts, risk reduction and resilient societies. Though, despite good mitigation efforts and up-to-date preparation initiatives, still millions of people are affected and thousands killed annually by some kind of disaster. As a consequence, disaster response remains a vital aspect of disaster management and will even become more important in the future taking into consideration the changing disaster landscape. On that account, our study aims to remodel the response phase of the disaster management life cycle, focusing on a new and fresh approach. We consider the response phase as an unfolding global process and its ensuing sub-processes rather than just an enumeration of potential activities.
Multi-soliton Collisions and Bäcklund Transformations for the (2+1)-dimensional Modified Nizhnik–Novikov–Vesselov Equations

Published: June 2015

AbstractThe Korteweg–de Vries (KdV)-type equations can describe the shallow water waves, stratified internal waves, ion-acoustic waves, plasma physics and lattice dynamics, while the (2+1)-dimensional Nizhnik–Novikov–Vesselov equations are the isotropic extensions of KdV-type equations. In this paper, we investigate the (2+1)-dimensional modified Nizhnik–Novikov–Vesselov equations. By virtue of the binary Bell polynomials, bilinear forms, multi-soliton solutions and Bäcklund transformations are derived. Effects of some parameters on the solitons and monotonic function are graphically illustrated. We can observe the coalescence of the two solitons in their collision region, where their shapes change after the collision.

Abstract
A new dimeric naphtho-γ-pyrone, 2-hydroxydihydronigerone (1), along with five compounds, nigerone (2), pyrophen (3), kojic acid (4), 4-(hydroxymethyl)-5-hydroxy-2H-pyran-2-one (5), and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (6), was isolated from an endophytic fungus Aspergillus niger AKRN associated with the roots of Entandrophragma congoënse. The structure of the new compound has been elucidated using spectroscopic data including 1D and 2D NMR as well as the high-resolution mass spectrometry. Compounds 1–5 showed weak antimicrobial activity on five selected Gram-negative bacteria, namely Enterobacter aerogenes (CM64), Enterobacter cloacae (BM67), Klebsiella pneumonia (K2), and Escherichia coli (ATCC8739 and ATCC10536).

Abstract
The hypolipidemic effect of an ethanolic extract from the roots and rhizomes of Panicum repens L. was investigated in rats suffering from high-cholesterol, diet-induced hyperlipidemia, and the phytochemicals in the extract were analyzed. The extract was administered p.o. in doses of 250 mg/kg/day together with cholesterol at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day for 7 weeks. The high-cholesterol diet caused a significant increase in total lipids, total cholesterol (TC), total triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the atherogenic index, whereas the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly decreased. Administration of the P. repens extract (p<0.05) significantly reduced the rise of the serum levels of total lipids, TC, TG, and LDL-C, as well as the atherogenic index, whereas it significantly increased (p<0.05) the level of HDL-C. HPLC analysis of the phenolics and flavonoids in the extract revealed the presence of gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, chicoric acid, primulic acid, rutin, apigenin-7-glucoside, and quercetin. In conclusion, the P. repens extract was found to possess hypolipidemic activity in high-fat, diet-induced hyperlipidemic rats.

INTRODUCTION:
The 2011 national guidelines for the management of childhood community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) recommended narrow-spectrum antibiotics (eg, ampicillin) for most children hospitalized with CAP. We assessed the impact of these guidelines on antibiotic prescribing at 3 children’s hospitals.

METHODS:
Children hospitalized with clinical and radiographic CAP were enrolled from January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2012, at 3 hospitals in Tennessee and Utah as part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Etiology of Pneumonia in the Community study. Antibiotic selection was determined by the treating provider. The impact of the guidelines and hospital-level implementation efforts was determined by assessing the monthly percentage of enrolled children receiving third-generation cephalosporins or penicillin/ampicillin. Segmented linear regression was used to compare observed antibiotic selection in the postguideline period with expected antibiotic use projected from preguideline months.

RESULTS:
Overall, 2121 children were included. During the preguideline period, 52.8% (interquartile range 47.8–56.6) of children with CAP received third-generation cephalosporins, whereas 2.7% (2.1, 7.0) received penicillin/ampicillin. By 9 months postguidelines, third-generation cephalosporin use declined (absolute difference −12.4% [95% confidence interval −19.8% to −5.1%]), whereas penicillin/ampicillin use increased (absolute difference 11.3% [4.3%–18.3%]). The most substantial changes were noted at those institutions that implemented guideline-related dissemination activities.

CONCLUSIONS:
After publication of national guidelines, third-generation cephalosporin use declined and penicillin/ampicillin use increased among children hospitalized with CAP. Changes were more apparent among those institutions that proactively disseminated the guidelines, suggesting that targeted, hospital-based efforts are important for timely implementation of guideline recommendations.

Role of organic functionalities linked to alkoxysilane precursors in nanomaterials synthesis and their biomedical applications
Authors: Pandey P. C. , Pandey Govind 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTThe synthesis of biocompatible noble metal nanoparticles dispersible in a wide range of biological media with control of polycrystalinity and nanogeometry, pH sensitivity and salt tolerance has been a challenging requirements. The role of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-APTMS) and organic reducing reagents for real time synthesis of amphilic noble metal nanoparticles meeting these requirements are demonstrated justifying the following; (1) 3-APTMS capped noble metal ions are converted into respective metal nanoparticles in the presence of one of organic reducing agents i.e., cyclohexanone, tetrahydrofuran hydroperoxide (THF-HPO), formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, t-buty dimethyl keotone, 3-Glycidoxy-propyltrimethoxysilane (3-GPTMS); (2) 3-APTMS acts as micelle, promotes the interaction of metal ions with organic reducing agent, precisely controls the size of metal nanoparticles, pH sensititvity and salt tolerance and also provides a suitable medium for nanoparticles suspension, (3) the use of suitable organic reagent precisely controls the polarity of as made noble metal nanoparticles allowing specific biological interactions, and (4) 3-APTMS significantly increases the stability and controls the pH sensitivity and salt tolerance of metal nanoparticles. The as synthesized nanomaterials show potential viability in biomedical applications from many angles i.e. (a) as potential bioelectrocatalyst, (b) selective interaction with active proteins and cellular components, and (c) peroxidase mimetic.
Non-equilibrium processes in martensitic phase transformations by X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy
Authors: Widera Michael , Klemradt Uwe 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTThrough undulator sources at 3rd generation synchrotrons, highly coherent X-rays with sufficient flux are nowadays routinely available, which allow carrying over photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) from visible light to the X-ray regime. X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) is based on the auto-correlation of X-ray speckle patterns during the temporal evolution of a material and provides access both to equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of materials at the Angstrom scale. Owing to technical limitations (detector readout), XPCS has typically been used for the detection of slow dynamics on the scale of seconds. The variety of scattering geometries employed in conventional X-ray analysis can be combined with XPCS. In this work, we report on bulk diffraction (XRD) used to study the prototypical shape memory alloy Ni63Al37 undergoing a structural, diffusionless (martensitic) transformation. Two-time correlation functions reveal non-equilibrium dynamics superimposed with microstructural avalanches.
A Molecular Picture for the Thermo-Reversibility of Gels Formed by Isophthalic Acid-Ended Telechelic Polymers
Authors: Li Boyu , Kim Joey , Kornfield Julie 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTWe demonstrate that isophthalic acid-ended telechelic poly(1,5-cyclooctadiene)s (A-PCODs) form thermo-reversible gels in non-polar solvent with a unique molecular mechanism for their thermo-reversibility. Like other associative telechelic polymers, A-PCODs form “flower-like” micelles at low concentration and form gels through bridging at higher concentration which exhibit linear viscoelasticity. However, unlike the widely studied hydrophobically end-capped PEOs, A-PCODs show clear thermo-reversibility in viscosity and dynamic modulus around 30 °C due to the hydrogen-bonding end groups. In addition, they differ from other reported thermo-reversible gelators (eg. Pluronics, PNIPAm containing block copolymers, etc.): neither the end group nor the backbone in the present system has a critical solution temperature within the measured temperature range (0 °C to 60 °C), indicating that the present system has a unique mechanism for its thermo-reversibility. To obtain a molecular picture of the mechanism, rheology and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies were implemented. Topological changes above the transition temperature (30 °C) were observed in both oscillatory rheology and SANS. SANS reveals that the size of clusters, which are formed by interacting micelles, depends highly on temperature (T) but independent of polymer concentration. These results cannot be explained by current theories on associative telechelic polymers which assume constant and large aggregation number of end groups at all temperatures and concentrations. We hypothesize that the temperature-sensitive sol-gel transition is due to a decrease in aggregation number for T above the critical temperature in our system, and this temperature-dependence of aggregation number is further determined by the chemical structure and hydrogen-bonding property of isophthalic acid ends.
Time – Space – Matter Emergent Materials in Architecture
Authors: Decker Martina 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the development process of emergent materials for architecture by looking at the example of Phase Change Materials. In the context of the complex nature of the constructed environment and the functional and performance requirements for buildings, emergent materials have to be carefully tuned for maximum performance. Investigating the relationship of time, space and matter in the design and development process through interdisciplinary endeavors is at the heart of this investigation. Furthermore, a shift from multidisciplinary endeavors to truly interdisciplinary collaboration that crosses the traditional boundaries of the individual fields is suggested.

Introduction: The Achilles tendinopathy with tendon injuries are the third most common in the musculoskeletal system. New therapies have been proposed for the treatment of tendinopathy as Percutaneous Microelectrólisis (MEP ®). Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of MEP ® on tendinopathy of Achilles. Method: This was a controlled clinical trial, randomized study. The sample comprised 20 patients with Achilles tendinopathy. The volunteers were randomly divided into two groups, control (G1) underwent conventional treatment protocol and experimental (G2) which was under the application of MEP. We made two visits per week for a month, totaling eight sessions. As evaluation method were used four questions from Visa-A questionnaire related to the functionality and exercise pratice. Data were analyzed using paired and independent T test . Results: The pain when walking down stairs has been observed a reduction in G1 (p <0.05) and G2 (p <0.001) before and after the protocols. Among the groups there was a greater reduction in G2 (p <0.001). Pain after heating was observed a reduction in G2 (p <0.001). Among them there was a greater reduction (p <0.05) in G2. For pain was observed after walking a reduction in G1 (p <0.05) and G2 (p <0.001) before and after the protocols. Among them there was a reduction (p <0.05) higher in G2. In pain after exercise was observed a reduction in G2 (p <0.001). Among the groups there was a greater decrease in G2 (p <0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that the MEP ® helps reduce pain in functional activities.
