Dorcas legacies, Dorcas futures: Textile legacies and the formation of identities in ‘habitus’ spaces
Authors: Sinclair Rose 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Feminist legacies of the handmade are visible through the rhetoric of the material archive. For a textile practitioner this might traditionally have been through the creation of the sampler, a physical display created to demonstrate the technical skill or creative prowess of the maker. The voices of hidden textile practices might also be revealed by oral stories and narratives, which lie dormant in newspaper listings and archives. Other textile legacies are embedded within the modes of transmission of knowledge contained within spaces or other ‘habitus’ that traditionally sit outside the boundaries of more traditional institutional spaces of textile learning. Textiles as objects hold meaning, are related to different aspects of memory and knowledge, and generate significance by and for different social, gendered and cultural groups globally. This article explores how Dorcas Clubs – a charitable organization of philanthropic women formed at the beginning of the nineteenth century – did this through the migratory experience of women, whether through notions of class boundary, physical space or travel. It is argued that Dorcas Societies, through their transformation,
Women’s collaboration for the enhancement of craft culture in contemporary Turkey
Authors: Atalay Duygu 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
The contemporary fashion system that has been shaped by the global economy provides fast consumables that are the products of a monocultural vision of design. In this system, cultural references, historical and ecological considerations and the notion of quality are ignored. The structure of fast fashion not only perpetuates an identity of women that is homogeneous and deprived of a sense of belonging, but it also creates this identity. Moreover, mechanization and mass production have led to the extinction of a great variety of traditional crafts because the adaptation of pattern, ornament or weaving techniques, indigenous to a particular culture, necessitates simplification for industrial production. In this way they are not only simplified technically, but their cultural meanings are also trivialized. As a result these crafts are no longer passed down to future generations. Disengagement from craft practices causes a cultural misidentification of both consumers and artisans. Placing emphasis on craft culture can prevent the devaluation of these cultural products, especially in economically emerging countries such as Turkey, where a lack of industrialization can become advantageous for the advancement of craft through the integration of local knowledge and labour. This article emphasizes the necessity of institutions, organizations and individuals in the preservation of craft and the handmade. In this regard the Aegean town of Ödemis¸ has been selected as a case study. In 2011, seven women entrepreneurs established Ödemis¸ Women’s Cooperative and built an atelier to support womens’ engagement with crafting. The textiles of Ödemis¸ are the products of a multicultural history. Hellenic, Roman, Byzantine, Selcuk, Ottoman and Turkish transitions have intensely affected the production methods of textiles in the region and have created a unique identity. Colouring methods are as old as the Byzantine Empire, and for more than 1000 years silk weaving and crochet have remained the major source of living for the women of Ödemis¸. This article will reveal the relationship between cultural identity and craft, emphasize the impact of women’s craft practice in this context and assess the importance of the atelier as a collaborative workspace.
Imagining and imaging future fashion
Authors: Smitheram Miranda 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
This project takes the researcher’s established fashion and textile design practice into a new space of the virtual and digital as a context for creative enquiry. Through discussion on two speculative experiments that use motion capture technology, this enquiry considers the transformational potential of a digital materiality as an environment in which to re-imagine and re-image the surfaces of future fashion. Specifically, it asks what influence the virtual/digital environment will have in shaping the aesthetics of the experiments. These acts of transformation, through morphing surfaces and shape-shifting material forms, question contemporary norms of using, consuming, engaging with and understanding fashion and textiles. Enfolded in this creative research is the recognition of how these shifts from matter to metaphor, from object to ephemeral, from dress to transformable interface could ignite alternatives to the current fashion manufacture and consumption process.
The Knitting & Crochet Guild Collection: A handmade legacy?
Authors: Thomas Angharad 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
This position paper describes the Collection of the Knitting & Crochet Guild (KCG), a UK-based membership organization, and the ways in which engagement and interaction are undertaken within it. The Collection is conceptualized as a repository of the handmade, and therefore of interest and relevance to craft practitioners. First, an outline of the Collection’s history is given including the ways in which items have entered the Collection and shaped its composition. Second, the article describes the ways in which diverse audiences, including KCG members and students, engage with the Collection, both physically and digitally, drawing upon the quality of these interactions taken from visitor feedback and selected student experiences. Third, the status of the Collection as an embodiment of the skill, time and labour of the makers is discussed and the future potential for further interactions from contemporary students and makers.
A review of Lesotho’s digital migration challenges: Policy lessons from global and regional experiences
Authors: Thamae Leboli Zachia 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
This article presents an analysis of Lesotho’s apparent challenges in its quest to migrate from analogue to digital terrestrial television broadcasting (DTTB) from 2006 to 2015. The move towards DTTB had given the state-owned Lesotho National Broadcasting Services a glimmer of hope to strengthen its position in the local market and thwart competition from South African broadcasters. However, the country lacked a policy direction or a clear road map to gain resources for DTTB development and subsequently failed to meet the international analogue switchoff deadline of 17 June 2015. Given the high level of foreign television service penetration in Lesotho, I argue that the government’s weak and sluggish intervention spells tragedy for the national broadcaster in the digital era, unless corrective policy measures based on comparative lessons from early adopters, with a rapid and coordinated implementation strategy as proposed in this article, are vigorously pursued.
Mg2+–Fe2+ order in an orthopyroxene, Mg0,93Fe1.07Si2O6

Auszug
Die Struktur eines intermediären Orthopyroxene (Mg0.93MFe1,07Si2O4) mit den Zellkonstanten a = 18,310, b = 8,927 und c = 5,226 Å und der Raumgruppe Pbca aus einem granulitischen Gestein wird mit der Methode der kleinsten Quadrate verfeinert unter Verwendung dreidimensionaler Intensitätsdaten. Der R-Wert für 1028 gemessene Reflexe beträgt 0,118. Die durchschnittliche Standardabweichung für die Μ-O- bzw. Si-O-Bindungslängen ist 0,014 Å.
Mg2+ und Fe2+ sind fast vollständig geordnet; das gefundene Ordnungsschema stimmt mit dem von GHOSE (1962) vermuteten überein. Die MI-Lage entspricht derjenigen von Mg im Diopsid (CaMgSi2O6) und ist von 85% Mg2+ und 15% Fe2+ besetzt; die M¡-Lage, die der Ca-Lage im Diopsid entspricht, ist von 90% Fe2+ und 10% Mg2+ besetzt. Die Bindungsabstände M2-O2 (2,07 Å) und M2-O2 (2,07 Å) sind in signifikanter Weise kürzer als die Summe der Pauling-Atomradien (2,16 Å), und diese Bindungen haben merklich kovalenten Charakter.
Die zwei krietallographisch verschiedenen Silikatketten haben etwas verschiedene Konfigurationen, bedingt durch geringe Rotationen der Si1- und Si2-Tetraeder um die Richtungen Si1-O1 und Si2-O4. Die mittlere Si-O-Bindungelänge beträgt 1,63 Å. Die „non-bridging" Si-O-Bindungen sind in signifikanter Weise kürzer als die „bridging" Si-O-Bindungen.
Über die Epitaxie von Vitamin B12 auf Quarz
Authors: Seifert H. , Borchardt-Ott W. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
The crystallographical expectation of different behaviour of crystals with asymmetric molecules against the optical antipodes of quartz was not exactly proved up to date. The weak asymmetry of the potential field of the crystal surfaces was probably the cause. We awaited a distinct effect from a substance consisting of large complex molecules like vitamin B12.
The epitaxial effect is extremely selective. The orientation of the vitamin crystals was splendidly positive upon the polished L-quartz surfaces activated by etching with HF, never upon R quartz. There were found and described 18 laws of orientation of the vitamin crystals upon the faces (101̄0), (1̄1̄20), (112̄0), (101̄1), (011̄1), (0001). The laws could be formulated as one-dimensional structure analogies.
The structural interpretation of the molecular kinetics, i.e. adsorption, formation of H bridges between both active groups and seed formation gave a new outlook upon the existence of small molecular matrices of very different size at the surfaces for this catalytic process which leads to the macroscopic appearance of the overranging one-dimensional analogies. The proof of a total mismatch of every matrix system with respect to the vitamin upon the R quartz is especially interesting.

Abstract
Diphenantridylmethane crystallizes in the monoclinic space-group Pc with a = 9.43 Å, b = 15.10 Å, c = 6.53 Å, β = 100°30'. Due to the special position of the two molecules in the pseudo space group P21/c, it was possible to solve the structure with the method of diffuse scattering without measuring any intensities. The structure has been confirmed and refined (in projections) by the usual x-ray methods.

Die Kristallstruktur von Rathit-I wurde mittels dreidimensionaler Intensitätsdaten bestimmt. Vier Formeleinheiten (Pb,Tl)3As4(As,Ag)S10 sind in der Einheitszelle der Symmetrie Ρ 21/a mit a = 25,16 Å, 6 = 7,94 Å, c = 8,47 Å, β = 100° 28' enthalten. Die wahre Symmetrie von Rathit-I ist möglicherweise triklin. Die Lösung lieferten die Ähnlichkeit der Struktur mit derjenigen von Rathit-III und spezielle Verhältnisse der Röntgendiagramme.
Von drei unabhängigen Pb(Tl)-Atomen sind zwei von neun S-Atomen umgeben, das andere von sieben. Die As-Atome weisen trigonal-pyramidale Koordination durch die S-Atome auf. Von einem As-Atom wird angenommen, daß es statistisch von zwei verschiedenen trigonal -pyramidalen S-Koordinationen umgeben wird. Ein anderes As-Atom ist teilweise durch Ag ersetzt.
Die Struktur besteht aus zweierlei Schichten parallel zu (100). Die erste Art hat die Zusammensetzung (Pb,Tl)S3 und besteht aus den Koordinationspolyedern um die Pb(Tl)-Atome mit Neuner-Koordination. Die zweite Art ist aus Pb(Tl)-, As(Ag)- und S-Atomen zusammengesetzt, welche ein deformiertes PbS-Gitter bilden. Trigonale As-S3-Pyramiden sind zu Ketten endlicher Länge vereinigt.

Published: September 2015

La investigación se realizó con el propósito de analizar las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación utilizadas en los estudios a distancia de las universidades privadas del Municipio Maracaibo, estado Zulia, Venezuela. Para ello se revisaron los postulados de (Camargo, 2008), (Rietveldt y Neuman, 2008), (Cabero, 2007), (Rosario, 2005), (Van-Der Hofstadt, 2005), (Fournier, 2004), (Cascón, 2004) y (Alarico, 2001), entre otros, en relación con las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación. El estudio fue de tipo descriptivo con un diseño de campo, no experimental-transeccional. La población estuvo constituida por 14 sujetos identificados como directores y coordinadores de estudios a distancia de las universidades privadas del Municipio Maracaibo. El censo poblacional fue utilizado debido al reducido tamaño de la muestra. Para la recolección de datos, se aplicó un instrumento con escala Likert de 60 ítemes el cual fue sometido a la validez de contenido a través del juicio de cinco expertos, y se midió su confiabilidad aplicando el coeficiente alfa cronbach, la cual fue muy alta (0,93). Los resultados se analizaron según un baremo previamente establecido. Se pudo concluir que existe un uso adecuado de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación utilizadas en los estudios a distancia. Por otra parte, se concluyó que existen ciertas bondades presentes en dichas tecnologías que no están siendo aprovechadas para maximizar la efectividad del proceso de comunicación.

En el mes de julio de 2010 se llevó a cabo una investigación, realizada por cuatro profesores de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, entre alumnos que querían cursar algunos de los Grados en Comunicación en las Universidades de Madrid, para determinar su perfil de entrada. Se trataba de dibujar un retrato robot de los futuros alumnos sobre los diferentes motivos que le impulsaban a realizar estos estudios, su relación con los medios de comunicación y el nivel de influencia que en ellos ejercen, así como sus expectativas profesionales y universitarias. Como muestra de la investigación, se tomó a trescientos alumnos que se iban a matricular en alguna de las Universidades de Madrid y que participaban en un curso de verano –la Summer Media School- cuyo objetivo primordial era su alfabetización multimedia y su familiarización con los procesos productivos en los “media”.
Nematode pests threatening soybean production in South Africa, with reference to Meloidogyne

Published: September 2015

The area planted to soybean in South Africa has increased by 54% since the 2009 growing season, mainly as a result of the increasing demand for protein-rich food and fodder sources. Moreover, the introduction of advanced technology, namely the availability of genetically modified herbicide tolerant soybean cultivars also contributed towards increased soybean production. The omnipresence of plant-parasitic nematodes in local agricultural soils, however, poses a threat to the sustainable expansion and production of soybean and other rotation crops. Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica are the predominant nematode pests in local soybean production areas and those where other grain-, legume- and/or vegetable crops are grown. The lack of registered nematicides for soybean locally, crop production systems that are conducive to nematode pest build-ups as well as the limited availability of genetic host plant resistance to root-knot nematode pests, complicate their management. Research aimed at various aspects related to soybean-nematode research, namely, audits of nematode assemblages associated with the crop, identification of genetic host plant resistance in soybean germplasm to M. incognita and M. javanica, the use of molecular markers that are linked to such genetic resistance traits as well as agronomic performance of pre-released cultivars that can be valuable to producers and the industry are accentuated in this review. Evaluation of synthetically-derived as well as biological-control agents are also discussed as complementary management tactics. It is important that lessons learned through extensive research on soybean-nematode interactions in South Africa be shared with researchers and industries in other countries as they might experience or expect similar problems and/or challenges.
In vitro assessment of bacterial translocation during needle insertion through inoculated culture media as a model of arthrocentesis through cellulitic tissue
Authors: Smyth Travis T. , Chirino-Trejo Manuel , Carmalt James L. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine by use of an in vitro model the potential for translocating sufficient numbers of bacteria into a joint during arthrocentesis through cellulitic tissue to cause sepsis.
SAMPLE Culture media containing 4 concentrations of Staphylococcus aureus and needles of 3 sizes.
PROCEDURES Needles (22, 20, and 19 gauge) were inserted through Mueller-Hinton agar that contained known concentrations of S aureus (103,104,105, and 106 CFUs/mL). After a needle exited through the medium, any agar plug within the needle bore was ejected into a sterile syringe and the contaminated portion of the needle was harvested. Sterile saline (0.9% NaCl) solution was used to emulsify the agar plug and wash the contaminated portion of the needle. The resulting solution was cultured to determine the number of bacterial CFUs that could be deposited into a joint during arthrocentesis through contaminated tissue.
RESULTS Needle gauge and bacterial concentration were both associated with the number of bacterial CFUs deposited after insertion through contaminated agar. Although all needle sizes were capable of bacterial translocation sufficient to cause septic arthritis, ORs for 20- and 22-gauge needles translocating > 33 CFUs of S aureus were significantly higher than the OR for a 19-gauge needle. The ORs for 20- or 22-gauge needles translocating > 33 CFUs of S aureus (the minimum population of S aureus known to cause joint sepsis) were 0.22.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results for this in vitro model indicated that caution should be used when performing arthrocentesis through cellulitic tissue.
Figures divines et démoniaques : les Ōtsu-e, peintures populaires japonaises de l’époque d’Edo
Authors: Marquet Christophe 
Published: September 2015

Les « images d’Ōtsu » (Ōtsu-e), sont un genre de peinture populaire japonaise produit au cours de l’époque d’Edo, entre le XVIIe et le XIXe siècle. Elles étaient vendues aux pèlerins et aux voyageurs au relais d’Ōtsu, près de Kyōto, et dans les villages environnants, le long de la route du Tōkaidō. Ces peintures anonymes de style naïf et à la manière enlevée puisèrent d’abord leurs thèmes dans le répertoire de l’iconographie bouddhique traditionnelle. Elles devinrent par la suite des images profanes de bon augure, à caractère satirique ou moral, dont les thèmes s’élevèrent à plus d’une centaine. Leur message, parfois énigmatique, peut être interprété grâce aux poèmes moraux qui accompagnent certaines d’entre elles à partir de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle. Longtemps oubliées, ces peintures fragiles et éphémères, dont il ne subsiste que quelques centaines d’exemples, furent redécouvertes et étudiées dans les années 1920 grâce au penseur Yanagi Sōetsu (1889-1961), qui œuvra pour la reconnaissance des «arts populaires » (mingei) au Japon. Elles ont été l’objet, depuis, de nouvelles interprétations. Cet article retrace l’histoire et interroge le sens de cette imagerie encore mal connue en Occident, où se côtoient figures divines et démoniaques issues des croyances populaires. Nous nous sommes intéressé en particulier à deux œuvres sur le thème de la divinité protectrice du Vajra au visage vert, conservées au musée Guimet, ainsi qu’aux variations autour de la figure du démon, jusqu’à sa réinterprétation satirique par des artistes de la fin du XIXe siècle.
Influence of technology in genetic epidemiology
Authors: Morey Marcos , Fernández-Marmiesse Ana , Cocho Jose Angel , Couce María L. 
Published: September 2015

AbstractGenetic epidemiology is the study of genetic factors and their influence on health and disease. Traditionally, these studies have been based on familial aggregation, segregation, or linkage analysis, mainly allowing the study of monogenic disorders. Advances in biotechnology have made techniques such as genome-wide association studies and next-generation sequencing possible, allowing more complex studies. In addition to the completion of large consortia projects, such as the Human Genome Project, ENCODE, and the 1000 Genome Project, these techniques make it possible to explain a higher proportion of the heritability in polygenic disorders compared to previous techniques. Here, we provide an overview of approaches to genetic epidemiology and how technological improvements have influenced experimentation in this area. These improvements have led genetic epidemiology to unprecedented advances, being excellent tools for understanding the genetic variability underlying complex phenotypes.
Sediment records of the metal pollution at Chihu Lake near a copper mine at the middle Yangtze River in China
Authors: Yao Shuchun , Xue Bin 
Published: September 2015

<p>Two short sedimentary cores were collected in 2012 from Chihu Lake in the middle Yangtze River Basin using a gravity corer. Heavy metals, including Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Co, Ni and Mn, and major elements, including Al, Fe, K, Mg and Ti, were measured. Radionuclides, including <sup>210</sup>Pb and <sup>137</sup>Cs, were analyzed to date the sediments. The Mn enrichment in the sediments of the two cores did not significantly influence the distribution of the heavy metals. The Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd, Co and Ni contents have increased over the past 30 to 40 years. The decrease in the <sup>206</sup>Pb/<sup>207</sup>Pb ratios toward the surface also indicated increasing mining sources of Pb loading to the lake sediments. The maximum concentration of Cu, Zn and Cd recorded in the 1990s was 2047, 1343 and 60.9 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> dry mass, respectively, and the maximum enrichment factors of Cu, Zn and Cd were 62, 16 and 206, respectively. The heavy metal enrichment at Chihu sediment was high overall because of the mining waste discharge. </p>
