Immigrant-related visual themes in the press of two new receiver countries (Greece and Spain)
Authors: Batziou Athanasia 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
Photographs look objective and truthful when in fact they are affected by the human factor and by the ideology of the society in which they are produced. In turn, they recycle this ideology by creating models upon which we pattern ourselves and our environment. Taking a comparative perspective, this article explores the visual themes used in five newspapers in Greece and Spain to represent immigrants, given that the thematic context in which immigrants appear is crucial for the viewers’ perception of the depicted people. Press photographs are treated as cultural text, capable of conveying meaning independent of the accompanying report or article, and are analysed using content analysis. The results of this research show that press photographs place immigrants in a rather narrow frame of reference, directing public opinion towards associating them with specific ‘functions’ in society and preventing their association with the normality of life.
A media ecological analysis of do-it-yourself education: Exploring relationships between the symbolic and the material realms of human action
Authors: Dowd John 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
Drawing on the work of Marshall McLuhan and subsequent theories of media ecology, this article seeks to build upon an understanding of the complex interactions of the material and symbolic aspects of human action. To do so, I perform a tetradic analysis of an educational movement referred to as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) education. Broadly defined, the DIY education movement includes any attempt to decentralize or disrupt traditional place-based educational models through the sometimes collective, other times individual use of digital media. Thus, The DIY movement is not simply a description of a particular model but rather, models that emerge or otherwise reflect a particular educational ideology. Accordingly, examples of this model could include online educational communities such as YouTube or for the purposes of this article, MOOCs. Ultimately then, through an analysis of the DIY movement I seek to elucidate the educational forms that emerge as a result of the interplay among discourses and technologies related to contemporary understandings of teaching and learning.
The artist, the dandy and men’s fashion in the Belle-Époque in Rio
Authors: Volpi Maria Cristina 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article examines the influence and impact of European dandyism on the clothing of artists and public figures – key players in fashion – in Rio de Janeiro during the Belle-Époque by the end of the XIX and beginning of the XX century. The interpretive stance of this model questions symbolic and aesthetic choices and ways of building and expressing distinct world-views, for one side, the symbols and signs associated to the European literary and artistic dandyism, and for the other, the north-American rational and pragmatic dressing standards, which are key to understanding the various choices and successive movements that form contemporaneity.
Exploring the fashion identity of Gypsy and Traveller women: Research problems and processes
Authors: Lingham Vanessa 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article explores the crucial issues of identification, access, participation and documenting addressed within the research design and methodology for my M.A. thesis. Within my thesis I questioned whether English Gypsy and Irish Traveller women’s style-fashion-dress can indeed be culturally defined and fixed collectively by cultural definitions, which are so often deemed to be set by terminology. Reflecting on some of the ‘novice’ research dilemmas I faced within the field of Gypsy and Traveller Studies this article is about first approaches to ethnographic research specifically for new fashion scholars, like myself, engaging with ‘minority’ fashion studies.
Infusing a fashion curriculum into a twenty-first-century business programme
Authors: Wyatt Nioka , Nixon Natalie , Samoni Leslie 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article explores how a fashion programme introduced into a traditional business school curriculum exemplifies disruptive innovation and can enable differentiation for an institution that is in a region dominated by competitive business school programmes. We point out the ways in which we have implemented Laster’s Model Driven Design method at Philadelphia University in transitioning the Fashion Industry Management programme into the business school and fulfilling the requirements of accreditation.
Turning the flesh inside-out: Uncovering the muscles and showing the veins in Jean Paul Gaultier’s scene costume Flayed
Authors: Borjas Weronika Pérez 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article studies the use of anatomical motifs in fashion on example of Jean Paul Gaultier’s musculature bodysuit Flayed. Through a visual and tactile analysis of the garment and further contextualization in the light of anatomical imagery created since the Renaissance times, the author intends to find the meaning for showing the inner anatomy on the outside of the body. Previous research in the area of fashion and body considered mostly the way the image of the body can change by applying clothing. Is the anatomical fashion working of the image of the body in different ways than common clothing?
The ‘Nigerianization’ of Ghanaian eyes
Authors: Aveh Africanus 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The popularity of Nigerian video films, also known as Nollywood, is growing across Africa and beyond. Ghana is one such country that has witnessed the growing popularity of Nigerian films on its local scene. ‘Nigerianization of Ghanaian eyes’ refers to the increasing presence of Nollywood in Ghana in the everyday lives of Ghanaians. This Nigerianization is expressed through regular screenings on local television, peddling of video discs on the streets and in shops, and through cross-border activities of film producers and actors with exchange of acting and film-making styles. It is also expressed through discourses of fondness for, and phobia (and protectionism) against, Nollywood. Generally, the phenomenon is seen to affect local ‘equilibrium’ in one way or another. This article therefore proposes that the Nollywood ‘invasion’ of Ghana has brought about some local transformations evident in the social responses of Ghanaians generally and in aesthetic and economic effects on the movie industry in particular. The article traces ‘Nigerianization’ through selective post-screening focus group discussions, university students’ responses, survey of media reports, interviews with industry players and readings of selected literature and movies.

Investigating the impact of television advertisement image quality on telepresence, attitude towards brands and purchase intentions
Authors: Bracken Cheryl Campanella 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
In an experiment manipulating the image quality of television ads, 127 participants watched television commercials in either high or low image quality. The participants rated each ad for their attitude towards the ad and purchase intentions. Additionally, sensations of telepresence and transportation were assessed. The participants who viewed the ads in higher image quality reported more positive attitudes towards the brands, and higher levels of telepresence. The implications are discussed.
Beyond dialogue: Exploring solidarity as a mode of communication through a debate on readers’ comments to online news
Authors: Roosvall Anna 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article aims to explore dialogic and solidaritarian modes of communication in relation to democracy that builds on communicational exchange in and with the media, and particularly in relation to online news communication. Departing from the fraud dialogue concept, it defines and exemplifies solidaritarian modes of communication, which are argued to better meet the challenges of democracy and online journalism. This theoretical discussion draws on examples from a debate on the reconstruction of the comments sections in Swedish online newspapers. The debate concerned hate speech, freedom of speech/censorship, anonymity/openness, and moderation/registration policies. I argue that solidaritarian modes of communication include and exceed dialogue through their attitude (discursive mode of address) and practice (discursive or non-discursive mode of action) of reciprocal exchange, empathy, responsibility and restitution. A particular underlining of responsibility as journalistic/editorial/publicist indicates the importance of the communicative setting, online journalism, where ‘journalism’ turns out to be more crucial than ‘online’.
Belonging to neo-tribes or just glocal youth talk: Jewish Israeli adolescent girls representing themselves on Facebook
Authors: Levin David , Barak-Brandes Sigal 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
This article examines the role of Facebook language tools in shaping and preserving community limits among Jewish Israeli adolescent girls, who constitute a young, dynamic, western and age-specific community. We describe how actions such as confirming friend requests, updating statuses and assigning ‘likes’ serve as means of phatic communication and as deictic elements that sketch out the community’s limits. Based on interviews with eight focus groups comprising a total of 35 Israeli adolescent girls, we challenge the prevalent view that social networks and the Internet in general facilitate fast and superficial transitions between sites and identities. Quite the contrary, we argue that these ostensibly random transitions in fact set clear limits by means of apparently banal authorizations of belonging to a community that occur on a daily basis. These community limits set by this youth communication are more rigid and conservative than those apparent in these girls’ everyday lives offline.
Corporate communication: Analysing Marvel and DC
Authors: van den Anker Marinus J. J. , Verhoeven Piet 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
US publishers of superhero comic books are large media entertainment companies that develop and license not only superhero comic books, but also superhero movies, video games and various merchandise. These superhero media entertainment companies use certain strategic corporate communication guidelines. Based on a structured quantitative analysis of 1000 superhero media entertainment company tweets and twenty superhero comic books, it appears that the corporate communication of modern superhero media entertainment companies focus, from a promotional strategic point of view, on the comic books they publish. In addition to strategic promotional attention to superhero comic books, every company decides how much strategic attention is received by other superhero media entertainment domains, such as superhero movies, superhero video games and all types of superhero merchandise. The findings also show that company logos, company brand names and certain fictional superheroes are salient to strategic corporate communication of the superhero media entertainment companies. And every company decides how much promotional advertising within the published comic books is given to their own developed and licensed superhero products or to products and merchandise of other companies.
Static action, silent sound: Translating visual techniques from manga to film in Katsuhiro Ō-tomo’s AKIRA
Authors: Gangnes Madeline B. 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
In the manga AKIRA (1982–1990), Katsuhiro O-tomo depicts action sequences, violence and the presentation of space through a visual approach that expertly creates a dynamic sense of movement and presence within the moment. This effect is achieved through the manipulation of the form and structure of the comics page, particularly through the use of a cantilevering technique to unbalance the page structure and make the action sequences feel visceral and tense. To that end, O-tomo also uses embodied perspectives, eye-line matches and appeals to the senses, especially sound. O-tomo strives to achieve similar effects in his 1988 animated film adaptation of the manga by incorporating a blend of manga and cinematic techniques. Some of these are taken from the original AKIRA manga, others from cinematic influences, particularly western ones. The film adapts the manga in a sympathetic way, but also changes a great deal, especially with regard to the presentation of space, sound, perspective and violence. Much of what the manga alludes to, or leaves in the gutters for the reader’s imagination to concoct, is translated to the screen to quite different effect. This article will also consider the translation of the manga into English, and how the changes in, for example, sound effects, as well as the addition of colour alter the precision engineering of O-tomo’s pages. These two forms of translation (from one language to another, and from page to screen) will be considered alongside one another to reveal the complexity of O-tomo’s masterpiece in both media, and the difficulties of such adaptations and translations.
Towards a moister media, from Aquaponics to multi-scalar navigation
Authors: Pothier Benjamin 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The aquatic, the virtual and the zero-gravity medium share some similarities in the way they are experienced by human beings. Present-day realities are uncertain and fluid. As the term ‘Aquaponics’ refers to agriculture and suggest a very static process, I would advance that the metaphors of travel and movement should be more appropriate to describe today’s challenges regarding the exploration and understanding of those medium. I have included in this article a personal interview with Dr Sarah Jane Pell, a researcher, Artist and professional diver, in order to gain some perspectives on the testimonies of Kitsou Dubois, a French Choreographer who conducted zero-gravity performances. Based on their statements, I give further in the text an insight on my personal practice of Aikido, a Japanese martial art and mind–body harmonization technique. Using references from popular Culture, my own experiences and the testimonies of Kitsou Dubois and Dr Sarah Jane Pell, as well as examples taken from ancestral spiritual traditions from around the world, I try to draw a map of contemporary and multi-scalar realities with a critical approach to the concept of aquaponics.
Local regularity results for value functions of tug-of-war with noise and running payoff
Authors: Ruosteenoja Eero 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
We prove local Lipschitz continuity and Harnack's inequality for value functions of the stochastic game tug-of-war with noise and running payoff. As a consequence, we obtain game-theoretic proofs for the same regularity properties for viscosity solutions of the inhomogeneous p-Laplace equation when p > 2.
The interaction of sodium carboxymethylcellulose with gelatin in the absence and presence of NaCl, CaCl2 and glucose
Authors: Bazid Sihem , El Kolli Meriem , Medjahed Aicha , Doufnoune Rachida 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The behavior of gelatin/sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) mixtures in an aqueous medium was investigated as a function of the pH, the protein to polysaccharide weight ratio and the total biopolymer concentration. The polydispersity of these solutions was investigated by measuring the UV-vis absorbance of the mixture at 650 nm. The change in the absorbance at 650 nm for all gelatin/NaCMC/water dispersions showed that the most significant interaction by this technique was at a pH of 4.2. Increasing the total concentration of biopolymers greatly increased the interaction between gelatin and NaCMC. It was also found that at this value of pH, and at a remarkable value of the protein to polysaccharide weight ratio of 1:1, the electrostatic interactions between gelatin and NaCMC were maximum. It was demonstrated that the addition of an anionic polysaccharide such as NaCMC can affect the behavior of gelatin in solution. In addition to the pH of the solution, other factors such as the presence of NaCl, CaCl2 and glucose may affect the rate of helicity and the scattering power of the gelatin. This has been confirmed by infrared spectroscopy as well as polarimetry.
The Genetic Architecture of Coordinately Evolving Male Wing Pigmentation and Courtship Behavior inDrosophila elegansandDrosophila gunungcola
Authors: Yeh Shu-Dan , True John R 
Published: August 2014

AbstractMany adaptive phenotypes consist of combinations of simpler traits that act synergistically, such as morphological traits and the behaviors that use those traits. Genetic correlations between components of such combinatorial traits, in the form of pleiotropic or tightly linked genes, can in principle promote the evolution and maintenance of these traits. In the Oriental Drosophila melanogaster species group, male wing pigmentation shows phylogenetic correlations with male courtship behavior; species with male-specific apical wing melanin spots also exhibit male visual wing displays, whereas species lacking these spots generally lack the displays. In this study, we investigated the quantitative genetic basis of divergence in male wing spots and displays between D. elegans, which possesses both traits, and its sibling species D. gunungcola, which lacks them. We found that divergence in wing spot size is determined by at least three quantitative trait loci (QTL) and divergence in courtship score is determined by at least four QTL. On the autosomes, QTL locations for pigmentation and behavior were generally separate, but on the X chromosome two clusters of QTL were found affecting both wing pigmentation and courtship behavior. We also examined the genetic basis of divergence in three components of male courtship, wing display, circling, and body shaking. Each of these showed a distinct genetic architecture, with some QTL mapping to similar positions as QTL for overall courtship score. Pairwise tests for interactions between marker loci revealed evidence of epistasis between putative QTL for wing pigmentation but not those for courtship behavior. The clustering of X-linked QTL for male pigmentation and behavior is consistent with the concerted evolution of these traits and motivates fine-scale mapping studies to elucidate the nature of the contributing genetic factors in these intervals.
A Test of Double Interspecific Introgression of Nucleoporin Genes in Drosophila
Authors: Sawamura Kyoichi , Maehara Kazunori , Keira Yoko , Ishikawa Hiroyuki O , Sasamura Takeshi , Yamakawa Tomoko , Matsuno Kenji 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
In interspecific hybrids between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans, the D. simulans nucleoporin-encoding Nup96sim and Nup160sim can cause recessive lethality if the hybrid does not also inherit the D. simulans X chromosome. In addition, Nup160sim leads to recessive female sterility in the D. melanogaster genetic background. Here, we conducted carefully controlled crosses to better understand
the relationship between Nup96sim and Nup160sim. Nup96sim did not lead to female sterility in the D. melanogaster genetic background, and double introgression of Nup96sim and Nup160sim did not generally lead to lethality when one was heterozygous and the other homozygous (hemizygous). It appears that introgression of additional autosomal D. simulans genes is necessary to cause lethality and that the effect of the introgression is dominant to D. melanogaster alleles. Interestingly, the genetic background affected dominance of Nup96sim, and double introgression carrying homozygous Nup96sim and hemizygous Nup160sim resulted in lethality. Thus, Nup96sim and Nup160sim seem to be two components of the same incompatibility.

Published: August 2014

ABSTRACTOur recent efforts using primarily nanodiamonds as lubricant additives are discussed. For traditional high performance engine oils, our results show a reduction in friction for steel surfaces for both laboratory experiments under controlled conditions and in a pilot study of passenger cars under typical driving conditions. Examination of the surfaces suggests that surface polishing at the sub-micron scale may be responsible for these results. A separate set of experiments using a quartz crystal microbalance to measure dissipation and drag due to friction has shown that when added to water the charge of the nanodiamond acquired from surface functionalization can have a large influence on uptake and friction at the water-metal interface. More importantly, these results suggest the possibility of creating nanodiamonds with controllable frictional drag at the solid-liquid interface through surface processing. Companion simulation results for nanodiamonds in water sliding between diamond surfaces are also presented. Future possibilities for further understanding and tuning the properties of nanodiamonds as lubricant additives through synergistic experiments and modeling are also discussed.
FDA Approval Summary: Crizotinib for the Treatment of Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Rearrangements

Published: August 2014

Abstract
On August 26, 2011, crizotinib received accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is ALK-positive as detected by a test approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Approval was based on two single-arm trials demonstrating objective response rates (ORRs) of 50% and 61% and median response durations of 42 and 48 weeks. On November 20, 2013, crizotinib received regular approval based on confirmation of clinical benefit in study A8081007, a randomized trial in 347 patients with ALK-positive advanced NSCLC who had previously received one platinum-containing regimen. Patients were assigned (1:1) to receive crizotinib 250 mg orally twice daily or standard of care (docetaxel or pemetrexed). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) determined by independent radiology review; secondary endpoints were ORR and overall survival (OS). PFS was significantly longer in the crizotinib arm, with median PFS of 7.7 and 3.0 months in the crizotinib and chemotherapy arms, respectively, and a 46% absolute increase in ORR but no difference in OS between treatment arms at the interim analysis. The most common adverse drug reactions (&gt;25%) in crizotinib-treated patients were vision disorders, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, edema, elevated transaminases, and fatigue. The most serious toxicities of crizotinib were hepatotoxicity, interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis, and QT-interval prolongation. Crizotinib's rapid clinical development program (6 years from identification of ALK rearrangements in a subset of NSCLC to full FDA approval) is a model of efficient drug development in this new era of molecularly targeted oncology therapy.
