Dewey on The Emotions
This paper explores John Dewey's theory of the emotions and his reasons for developing it. The author considers two competing accounts for why Dewey might have developed his theory: one based on his attempt to clarify rationality and one based on his attempt to make us morally responsive agents to nature. After a close examination of key texts, the author concludes that Dewey's theory is designed to make us morally responsive. Dewey's theory of the emotions serves his purpose of arguing for our re-union with nature, in a manner similar, in fact, to Hegel, with the addition that Dewey makes it our express goal to be concerned for nature in our return to it.

What is Love? Discourse about Emotions in Social Sciences
The study of emotions has been one of the most important areas of research in the Social Sciences. Social Psychology has also contributed to the development of this area. In this article we analyse the contribution of social Psychology to the study of emotion, understood as a social construct, and its strong relationship with language. Specifically, we open a discussion on the basis of the general characteristics of the Social Psychology of emotions and the contributions from different disciplines in this area of research, to give meaning to the relationship they have with the language of emotions. In this regard, we have reviewed basic references for the study of the construction of an emotion, and thematically classified them into three broad categories: 1) Contributions from different backgrounds and perspectives; 2) Construction and de-construction studies of emotion, and 3) Postconstructionist studies of emotion. In the first category, we consider the main contributions from the Social Sciences, which can be summarized in two areas: philosophical-construction of an emotion; mainstream-psychology of emotion. In the second category we have began with the relationship between emotion and language and the social construction of emotion, i.e., its discursive status. We end with postconstructionist theories, i.e., Butler's concept of performance and technoscience. To give more meaning to this line of research, the use of a concrete example of emotion seemed appropriate. Thus, we chose "love".

Damages Associated to 1995-2006 Floods and Flash-Floods in the East of the Apuseni Mountains
During 1995-2006, the Eastern Apuseni Mountains was affected by floods which generate damages almost every year, observing an increase of their frequency towards the end of the mentioned period, when, in only two years (2004-2005), there were manifested nine episodes of such phenomena. The damages analysis was achieved by direct questioning, based on the observation data and reports of the County Inspectorates for Emergency Situations and other competent authorities during the period 1995-2006. Counting the direct damages generated by the floods in the region during the above mentioned period, the total summed 75.624 million US dollars. Among the main socio-economic objectives, traffic infrastructure proved to be by far the most susceptible to the unfavorable action of the floods (72.1% of the damages overall).

Application of Finite Element Method for Determining Loads for the New Method of Acoustic Fatigue Testing of Aircraft Structures
For aircraft structures the failures due to acoustic fatigue are very important, particularly for new supersonic or short take-off aircraft. The majority of acoustic fatigue life test methods are based on the reproduction of noise acting on the structure - in reverberation chambers or progressive wave tubes. The method described in this paper is based on the reproduction of dynamic response of the structure subjected to random acoustic loading.

Authors: Thomas Ligy , Pallanch John F. 
Published: September 2010

Background Safe and efficient endoscopic frontal sinus surgery requires a thorough knowledge of the location of the frontal sinus outflow tract. This study was designed to describe the prevalence of the different frontal recess cells and 3D analysis by virtual endoscopy of their ostial orientation in relation to the frontal ostium. Methods Fifty high-resolution CT scans (100 sides) of disease-free paranasal sinuses were reviewed using triplanar and virtual 3D analysis. The prevalence and ostial locations of the frontal recess cells and the relationship of the various ostia to the frontal sinus ostium were mapped and analyzed. Results The cell type, prevalence, and most common relationship of the cell's ostium to the frontal ostium were intersinus septal cells, 7% medial and anterior; Kuhn type 1 cells, 28%, lateral and anterior; Kuhn type 2 cells, 6%, anterior and lateral; Kuhn type 3 cells, 11%, medial or lateral; supraorbital ethmoid cells, 11%, posterior; suprabullar cells, 68%, posterior; and frontal bullar cells, 16%, posterior or lateral. In 35% of the sides, none of the aforementioned cell types were found. There were many blind recesses that were seen in all locations except anterolateral to the frontal ostium. Openings of adjacent pneumatized middle turbinates were often posteromedial to the frontal ostium. Agger nasi cells were present in at least 86%, opening lateral to frontal ostium. Conclusion Frontal outflow tract mapping by virtual endoscopy and knowledge of the ostial configurations will help surgeons perform more efficient and accurate surgery particularly for minimally invasive approaches including balloon dilation.

Background The olfactory function (OF) and gustatory function in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) can be limited. Methods We performed the testing of orthonasal (Threshold Discrimination Identification [TDI] score with Sniffin’ Sticks) and retronasal (Taste Powder) OF and gustatory function (Taste Strips; Burghart, Wedel, Germany) in patients diagnosed with MS and healthy controls matching in age, sex, and smoking habits. Results Eight of 16 MS patients (50%) displayed hyposmia (TDI score, 28.75 ± 1.28; p = 0.06); the identification subtest significantly was restricted (12.63 ± 1.67; p = 0.001). Four of 16 MS patients (25%) had limited retronasal OF with a Taste Powder score of 4.5 ± 1.29. The gustatory function in 19% of MS patients was significantly limited (Taste Strip score, 5.33 ± 2.52; p = 0.02). Patients who estimated their ability to smell as diminished performed more poorly on retronasal OF testing (r = 0.657; p = 0.046). Conclusion This study confirms the incidence of olfactory disorder in MS patients that has been reported in the literature. Interestingly, a significant correlation between orthonasal and retronasal OF testing was not shown. A higher incidence of gustatory dysfunction was shown and might serve as another potential marker for this disease.

Published: September 2010

Background Modification of allergens by glutaraldehyde in extracts used for immunotherapy reduces the risk for side effects, but therapeutic efficacy of such extracts requires further evaluation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy with PURETHAL Mites (PM), a single-strength glutaraldehyde-modified aluminum hydroxide–adsorbed extract of house-dust mites (HDM). Methods In a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind setting, HDM-allergic subjects (n = 140) were treated with modified allergen extract or placebo over a 1-year period. The primary outcome parameter was a combined symptom and medication score (clinical index score [CIS]). Secondary efficacy parameters were the result of a titrated conjunctival provocation test (CPT), rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life (RQL) score, and serum concentrations of IgE and IgG against specific HDM allergens and a documentation of adverse events (AE). Results We evaluated 140 patients (66 treatment and 74 placebo) for clinical efficacy. The allergoid treatment for 1 year resulted in significantly greater CIS improvement and higher RQL scores. The response threshold in the titrated CPT (p = 0.009) and the serum concentrations of IgG4 (p < 0.001) against Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus allergens after treatment were also significantly different between groups. In total, 88 patients (46 PM/42 placebo) out of a safety population of 145 reported 278 (158 PM/120 placebo) AE. Except for local reactions, no specific AE appeared to be associated with PURETHAL Mites (HAL-Allergy, Leiden, The Netherlands). Conclusion The findings of this study indicate that allergen injection therapy with modified HDM extract is superior to placebo in allergic rhinitis therapy. The treatment was well tolerated and no serious drug-related AE were observed.

Published: September 2010

Background Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is a neoplasm in the nasal cavity, characterized by its local aggressiveness and tendency to cause malignancy. Despite the frequent recurrence of IP, few studies have reported the effects of situational parameters including smoking on the recurrence rate of IP. This study was performed to evaluate clinical and environmental factors including smoking that can predict neoplasm recurrence after surgery in patients with IP. Methods This study was conducted retrospectively on 132 patients who were diagnosed with IP between November 1985 and September 2007. The study focused on the risk factors of recurrence, such as smoking behaviors, diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), allergic rhinitis (AR), the sites of tumor origin and involvement, neoplasm staging, and the surgical method. The age of the patients ranged from 22 to 85 years, and among the 132 patients, 39 patients were smokers (29.5%), 17 (13.3%) with DM, 31 (24.4%) with HTN, and 11 (9.3%) with AR. Results The recurrence rate showed great disparity between the groups of smokers and nonsmokers: 28.2% of smokers suffered recurrence compared with 10.7% recurrence from the nonsmoker group. The Krouse stage IV group experienced more frequent recurrence than the stage I, II, and III groups. Some patients in Krouse stage III (5/72, 6.9%) and IV (3/3, 100%) groups underwent malignant transformation of IP. Histories of DM, HTN, and AR did not exert a statistically meaningful influence on the recurrence and malignant transformation. Conclusion The smoking behavior and tumor with extranasal/sinus extension appear to be associated with recurrence of IP after surgical resection.

Published: September 2010

Background In intensive care units (ICUs), critically ill patients may be exposed to several risk factors for developing acute rhinosinusitis, including nasogastric tubes, mechanical ventilation, and prolonged periods in the supine position. The incidence of acute rhinosinusitis can be as high as 83%, the third or fourth most frequent ICU infection and it increases the risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia. Diagnosis and therapeutic approaches should be more aggressive than in non-ICU patients. Antral puncture plays a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. This study was designed to show the development of a method for sphenoid puncture in the diagnosis and treatment of acute infectious rhinosinusitis in critically ill patients, analyzing safety and complications. Methods Patients in ICUs with endoscopic and radiological diagnosis of acute rhinosinusitis were included. Maxillary puncture was performed through the inferior meatus; sphenoid puncture was performed by endoscopic identification of the sphenoethmoidal recess. An aspiration probe was introduced into the natural sphenoidal ostium, followed by aspiration of secretions and saline irrigation. Results Twenty-nine patients were included. Twenty-seven patients (93.1%) presented with sphenoidal sinusitis, 24 patients (82.7%) had maxillary sinusitis, 21 patients (72.4%) had ethmoidal sinusitis, and 13 patients (44.8%) had frontal sinusitis. Forty-seven sphenoidal and 39 maxillary punctures were performed. No major bleeding or other complications were recorded. Conclusion The sphenoid puncture is a possible procedure to be performed in an ICU and might complement the paranasal puncture in cases of acute rhinosinusitis.

Published: September 2010

Background Only a few studies have so far compared the use of different local anesthetic agents in septoplasty procedure with regard to reduction in pain, effectiveness, and related complications. The aim of this study was to compare articaine and lidocaine as local anesthetics for septoplasty surgery, in terms of their efficacy and safety. Methods Seventy patients randomized into two groups were included in this study. For local anesthesia, 35 patients received articaine and 35 received lidocaine. All patients were asked to rate their pain levels on a visual analog scale (VAS) at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th, 18th, and 24th postoperative hours. In addition, analgesic consumption of each patient as well as postoperative complications was recorded in both groups. Results VAS scores for pain were significantly lower in the articaine group than in the lidocaine group at the 2nd, 6th, 8th, 12th, and 24th postoperative hours (p < 0.05). Comparison of the patients’ usage of analgesics during the first 24 hours postoperatively showed that in the articaine group, the percentage of patients that had not used analgesics was 58.5%, and in the lidocaine group the corresponding figure was 41.5%. Conclusion Articaine is a safe local anesthetic agent with rapid onset of action. When compared with lidocaine, it is associated with improved tissue diffusion, rare postoperative complications, and less postoperative pain, thus, representing a safe and effective local anesthetic agent for septoplasty procedure.

Published: September 2010

Background Nasal polyps are one of the most common findings of physical examination in the otolaryngology area and the experimental model of nasal polyps in the rabbit maxillary sinus is helpful for clarifying the mechanism of polyp formation. Several protocols have been reported for this model, but most of them involved infectious polyps without eosinophil infiltration. We have attempted to establish a novel rabbit model of polyps associated with eosinophil infiltration. Methods Rabbits were either untreated (group A) or sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA; groups B–D). After repeated exposure to OVA, some animals further received valine-glycine-serine-glutamine (group C) or poly-L-arginine (group D) in their maxillary sinuses for 4 weeks. Subsequently, sinus tissues were dissected and subjected to histological analysis. The changes in mRNA expression were analyzed by DNA microarray. Results Remarkable histological changes were observed in groups C and D but not in group B in eosinophil number in the maxillary sinus mucosa, the width of the lamina propria, and polyp scoring. These changes in group D were greater than those in group C. DNA microarray analysis revealed that up-regulated genes in group D included those related to inflammation and extracellular matrix metabolism. On the other hand, down-regulated genes in group D involved those related to anti-inflammation. Conclusion Our results indicate that treatment with inflammatory agents, in combination with an antigen-dependent immune response, could induce nasal polyp formation associated with eosinophil infiltration and mucosal hypertrophy. The gene expression profile supported the clinical relevance of this model.
Latex and Lingerie
Authors: Storr Merl 
Published: September 2010

This is a fascinating book, almost impossible to put down. It explores how the contemporary contradiction generated by post-feminist rhetoric is both produced and partially resolved through the marketing and practice of Ann Summers parties. These parties play with the dynamic of useless men and liberated women, offering sex toys as the solution to the power gap; they promote hegemonic masculinity as inevitable whilst ridiculing it at the same time. This book shows that sex toys are symbolically central to current power formations in gender and class relations. I can guarantee that you will learn a lot from this book. (Professor Beverley Skeggs, Department of Sociology, University of Manchester)
Meticulously researched, and written with great verve and style, Latex and Lingerie makes a major contribution to our understanding of heterosexual femininities. It shows how being ‘one of the girls’ is constructed around manifold exclusions of class, sexuality, ‘race’ and ethnicity, and how the ‘fun’ on offer in Anne Summers parties is of a distinctly post-feminist variety. Storr has fashioned a highly original analysis of female homosociality that takes both its pleasures and its problems seriously. This is an extremely important book that is destined to become a classic in the fields of gender, sexuality and cultural studies. (Rosalind Gill, Gender Institute, London School of Economics)
The Global Circulation of African Fashion
Authors: Rabine Leslie W. 
Published: September 2010

Transnational movements of people, cultural objects, images and identities have played a vital role in creating an informal global network for African fashion - from clothing designers and tailors to dyers and jewellery makers. This book traces the changing meanings, aesthetics and histories of the thriving informal African fashion network through its multicultural cross-roads of Los Angeles, Kenya and Senegal.
In African communities, designers compete with each other to survive and often travel long distances in search of new markets. Such competition and bridging of cultures fuels creativity and innovation. From adapting western fashion magazines to combining ‘ethnic' designs with dramatic new colours and techniques, artisans weave a variety of borrowed influences into their traditional practices. Rabine explores the interrelationship and tensions that exist between these popular and mass cultures, including the ways that global circulation threatens to destroy artisanal skills. With its unique insights into the operation and ethics of these global networks, this book offers a timely contribution to contemporary studies of fashion, transnationalism and globalization.
Promoting Physical Health In Youth Mental Health Services: Ensuring Routine Monitoring of Weight and Metabolic Indices in a First Episode Psychosis Clinic

Published: September 2010

Objective: Clinicians are increasingly being asked to implement guideline recommendations into their practice, but are given little practical guidance on this complex task. In this paper we outline a promising theory-driven approach we took to implementing guideline recommendations about routine monitoring of weight gain and metabolic disturbance in our first-episode psychosis clinic. While there is significant psychological and physical morbidity associated with weight gain and metabolic disturbance, routine monitoring was not being undertaken according to guideline recommendations. We examined the factors that make it difficult to undertake routine monitoring by interviewing psychiatrists. This barrier analysis allowed us to develop and introduce feasible and acceptable strategies to address these barriers, increasing the likelihood that routine monitoring would take place. Conclusion: This paper advocates for undertaking an analysis of the barriers clinicians face to undertaking evidence-based practice in order to develop more sophisticated approaches to address areas where clinical practice and evidence are divergent. Such an approach is more likely to ensure that measures to improve practice are successful, are meaningful for the clinicians involved, and become imbedded in the clinical practice of the service.

Published: September 2010

Objective: This paper describes a training program in mood disorders for senior mental health clinicians in the Pacific region and presents the qualitative evaluation findings. Method: The program, which incorporated a 2-week intensive course in Sydney and follow-up in-country, was undertaken by 13 clinicians from the Ministries of Health in seven Pacific Island countries. Evaluation data were gathered throughout the program. Participating individuals and their respective Ministries also completed an activity completion report. Results: The evaluation was very positive. Individual and organizational reports documented immediate and expected ongoing benefits and expressed a desire for continuing collaboration. Conclusions: The program has resulted in a major boost to regional expertise and leadership in mood disorders. Furthermore, it has made an important contribution to the implementation of individual country mental health policies, one which strengthens the regional mental health network and builds new connections with Australian institutions. Success was based on a collaborative approach, high levels of institutional and individual commitment, and careful attention to both content and process issues. Sustainability will be enhanced through ongoing collaborative in-country and regional activities.
