Soul Mates: Updike's Harry Angstrom and Ayckbourn's Norman Dewers
Authors: Mctavish John 
Published: February 2011

John Updike's Rabbit tetralogy in the field of literature and Alan Ayck-bourn's Norman Conquests trilogy in the field of drama represent two of the most likely-to-endure artistic works of our time. The one writer is American, the other British; the one is a confessing Christian, the other not. Their respective protagonists, however, illumine the mysteries of life, love, and death in ways that not only complement each other but manifest profound theological insight into the human condition. John Updike may be America's finest novelist and his newest novel is … likely to be scrutinized a generation or two or three from now as runic clues to the times we live in. William McPherson If, in a hundred years, anyone wants to know what it was like to live in the second half of the 20th century, I am quite sure they will turn to the plays of Alan Ayckbourn before they look at historians or sociologists.

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in this evil day, and having done all, to stand.” –-Ephesians 6:11-13. “Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” –-Romans 8:38-39.

Parish pastor “The trouble with you seminary professors is that you don't know what's going on in the parish. Your ivory-tower theology has little to do with the problems I encounter in my work. Six months as an assistant here and you'd teach something different.” Seminary professor in a practical field „The problem with so many of you in the classical fields is that you never make what you teach practical enough. What good is comparing Luther's and Barth's understanding of law and gospel? What we need is a theology that directly addresses the specific issues of ministry. We need a theology of death, of evangelism, of administration. You have to speak to the concrete realities of the parish.” Seminary professor in a classical field: “What do I know about psychology, church growth, conflict management, or spiritual formation? I have enough trouble keeping up to date in my field, without also reading about psychotherapy or Christian education. You practical types are the ones to bridge the disciplines so that theology has an impact on practice. Otherwise students can just as well study what you teach at the university.”

The urban heat island effect and its consequences is one of the most important problems cities worldwide have to face in an effort to become more sustainable. This paper presents a study of a major open area in a densely built and populated area in the centre of Athens that was part of a Municipality of Athens program to improve thermal comfort conditions in open spaces. The bioclimatic rehabilitation design process was based on a specific strategy involving detailed monitoring of the thermal characteristics and climatic conditions in the area, extensive analysis of the results in order to define the problem, design and use of efficient passive cooling techniques (cool materials, green spaces, solar control and earth to air heat exchangers), and the use of advanced simulation tools to evaluate and optimise the planed microclimatic improvements. The results indicate that the proposed measures contribute to a decrease in local temperatures of up to 2°C for summer conditions. Practical application: • The knowledge on perceptions of microclimate in outdoor space can serve as a basis for urban spatial design. • To evaluate the application of cool materials in public urban squares. • Strategies to improve local microclimate with monitoring and modelling the design features.

Published: February 2011

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the possibility of employing an insulin amyloid without the cell binding motif sequence as a novel cell adhesion material. Immobilized insulin amyloid on cell culture plates shows higher cell adhesion properties compared with untreated plates. Interestingly, cells adhered to the insulin amyloid displayed marked cell proliferation. It was also demonstrated that the insulin amyloid interacted with fibronectin present within the serum.
Enantioselective Synthesis Induced by Compounds with Chirality Arising from Partially Deuterated Methyl Groups in Conjunction with Asymmetric Autocatalysis
Authors: Kawasaki Tsuneomi , Ozawa Hitomi , Ito Masateru , Soai Kenso 
Published: February 2011

Abstract
Enantioselective synthesis has been achieved using chiral compounds arising from mono- and dideuterated methyl groups as chiral inducers in conjunction with asymmetric autocatalysis. The absolute configuration of the product was controlled by the small degree of chirality generated by the difference between the partially deuterated methyl groups (CDH2 and CD2H) and the non-deuterated methyl group (CH3) in N-benzoyl-α-methylalanine.

Psychosocial Factors of Stages of Change Among Adults With Intellectual Disabilities
Authors: Hsu Sharon , Fernhall Bo , Hui Stanley Sai Chuen , Halle James 
Published: February 2011

Abstract
Relationships among full constructs of the transtheoretical model using a sample of 121 adults with mild intellectual disabilities in Taiwan were examined. Self-reports of stages of change and transtheoretical model psychosocial measures were gathered through interviews. Although MANCOVA revealed that behavioral processes of change, cognitive processes of change, self-efficacy, and perceived pros increased across stages, we did not find a clear linear pattern of association. Direct discriminant function analysis indicated that the most important predictors of stages of change were behavioral processes, cognitive processes, and self-efficacy. The overall stage of change classification accuracy using transtheoretical model psychosocial constructs was 56.2%. Psychosocial measures specifically developed for this population should be further explored.
Physical Activity and Nutrition Health Promotion Interventions: What is Working for People With Intellectual Disabilities?
Authors: Heller Tamar , McCubbin Jeffrey A. , Drum Charles , Peterson Jana 
Published: February 2011

AbstractA scoping review of studies on physical activity and nutrition health promotion interventions for individuals with intellectual disabilities was conducted. Searches included MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases from 1986 through July 2006. The final number included 11 articles comprising 12 studies. Generally, this review indicated some evidence for fitness and psychosocial benefits of community-based physical activity and exercise programs for adults with intellectual disabilities. When combined with a more comprehensive health behavior education program incorporating exercise and nutrition information, some evidence exists for reductions in weight.

Published: February 2011

Objectives The present study was undertaken to analyze the relationship between the method used for manipulation of the levator veli palatini muscle and the area of the mastoid air cells in patients with cleft palate. Design Retrospective study. Patients The subjects were 50 patients seen for surgical treatment of cleft palate. Interventions Palatoplasty was carried out using the mucosal flap method in 25 patients and the mucoperiosteal flap method in 25 patients. In the mucosal flap method, the levator veli palatini muscle was overlapped and sutured, followed by posterior movement of the muscle bundle (the posterior relocation group). In the mucoperiosteal flap method (the control group), the mucoperiosteal flap was pushed back, followed by end-to-end suturing of the muscle. The area of the mastoid air cells was measured on X-rays when patients were 5 years old. Results The mastoid air cell area did not differ significantly between the posterior relocation group (mean, 5.00 cm2; range, 1.66 to 19.7 cm2) and the control group (mean, 5.3 cm2; range, 2.29 to 15.9 cm2). Conclusion No significant growth of mastoid air cells was noted following posterior relocation of the levator veli palatini muscle. Thus, in cases of cleft palate in which significant growth of mastoid air cells is not expected following reconstruction of the levator veli palatini muscle, the results confirm the view that tympanic ventilation tube insertion is the most suitable method for the treatment of otitis media.
The Effect of Tooth-preparation Cleansing Protocol on the Bond Strength of Self-adhesive Resin Cement to Dentin Contaminated with a Hemostatic Agent
Authors: Chaiyabutr Y. , Kois J. C. 
Published: February 2011

Clinical RelevanceAfter contamination with hemostatic agents, tooth-preparation cleansing protocols using either particle abrasion with low-pressure aluminum oxide particles or phosphoric acid-etching restored bond strengths to pre-contamination levels for a self-adhesive resin cement.
Effect of Tubular Orientation on the Dentin Bond Strength of Acidic Self-etch Adhesives
Authors: Schiltz-Taing M. , Wang Y. , Suh B. , Brown D. , Chen L. 
Published: February 2011

Clinical Relevance
The effectiveness of self-etch adhesive systems is dependent on both the physical properties of the adhesive and the integrity of the adhesive-dentin interface. Most importantly, the integrity of the adhesive-dentin interface is affected by the tubule orientation of the intaglio dentin structure. The initial bond strength and potential durability of the self-etch adhesive interfaces to dentin are significantly affected by both the adhesive pH and occlusally-oriented tubule direction. The clinical relevance to the dentist is that the results reported for bond strengths by both manufacturers and independent researchers should be interpreted and compared based on the orientation of the dentin used for the measurements, particularly for those adhesives that are very acidic (pH lower than 2).
Bed Accessibility in a Private Psychiatric Hospital
Authors: Galletly Cherrie , Bell Stacy , Burton Cassandra , Turnbull Carol 
Published: February 2011

Objective: Access to beds is a major problem in many psychiatric services and increased waiting times can lead to adverse health outcomes. While there has been a considerable amount of research evaluating bed management systems in public psychiatric services, the private sector has received little attention. This project aimed to determine the time to admission for patients referred to an acute private psychiatric hospital, and to identify factors contributing to time intervals between referral and admission. Method: All staff involved in the admission process engaged in an ongoing, interactive data collection process. Accurate data on waiting times for acute patients was obtained and fed back to credentialed admitting psychiatrists. Results: Determinants of admission were clarified. For urgent admissions, the longest time interval was between the patient being advised that a bed was available and actually presenting themselves at the hospital. Conclusion: The project was effective in clarifying admission flow in a private psychiatric hospital. Some strategies that might reduce time intervals between referral and admission are described.

Published: February 2011

Introduction: Some eyelid defects require reconstruction. Objective: To study the eyelid conditions requiring reconstruction among the patients attending an oculoplasty clinic of a tertiary level eye institute. Materials and methods: All the cases of eyelid reconstruction surgery of two years were retrospectively included in this study. The parameters studied were causes of eyelid defects, age and gender of the patients and the reconstructive surgical procedures. Results: Of 43 cases that required eyelid reconstructive surgery 17 (39.53 %) had ocular tumors and 16 (37.2%) had trauma. The mean age of presentation was 42 years ± 13.89 (4- 84 years. Of the eyelid tumors, benign lesions were found in 7 (41.1%) followed by basal cell carcinoma in 5 (29%). The surgical procedures carried out were direct closure of defects in 15 (35%), excision of cicatrized tissue with skin graft in 7 (16%), reconstruction with rotational flap in 6 (14%), blepharoplasty in 4 (9%), gold weight in 4 (9%), lid sharing procedure (Cutler-Beard procedure) in 3(7%), lateral tarsorraphy in 2 (5%) and canalicular repair with silastic tube intubation in 2 (5%). Conclusion: Ocular tumors are the most frequent conditions requiring eyelid reconstructive surgery. The common reconstructive procedures are direct closure followed by excision of cicatrized tissue with skin graft.Keywords: eyelid; Oculoplastic surgeries; trauma; tumor DOI: 10.3126/nepjoph.v3i1.4279Nepal J Ophthalmol 2011;3(5):49-51
Two Cist Burials at Kintyre Nurseries, Campbeltown, Argyll
Authors: Peltenburg E J 
Published: February 2011

SummaryPart of the plan and contents of a large cist burial and the presence of a smaller one were noted during building operations at this site. Rescue excavation in the former produced traces of an inhumation burial, a flint blade knife, a crescentic jet necklace and perhaps a bracelet; labourers salvaged a Food Vessel from the latter. These finds emphasize the W and coastal distribution of such necklaces in SW Scotland during the mid-2nd millennium BC, but no further dating evidence was obtained, nor were there traces of more graves in an area of nearly 200m2subsequently cleared.
Dun an Ruigh Ruaidh, Loch Broom, Ross & Cromarty Excavations in 1968 and 1978
Authors: MacKie Euan W 
Published: February 2011

SummaryThe site is an Iron Age stone fortlet, of the semibroch type and probably a prototype broch; it is only the second of its class to be excavated. Radiocarbon dates show that it was built in the 3rd or 2nd centuries b.c. and this early date is supported also by the artefacts. The mainly aceramic material culture shows strong links with S Scotland but the fort itself is Hebridean, as are the three early potsherds found. The wall has an upper and lower intra-mural gallery and seems originally to have contained a roofed round-house with an oval of wooden posts and a central hearth. Later the wall was partly demolished and the Iron Age occupation continued for a while. After a period of abandonment there was some Medieval use of the wall gallery and sheep dippers worked in the ruined fort in recent times.
Excavation in the Lower Church of Glasgow Cathedral
Authors: Gordon Alistair R 
Published: February 2011

Summary The object of the excavation, in the westernmost central bay of the Lower Church, was to discover if any evidence of structural remains of the church of 1136 or that of 1197 were present. Results were inconclusive, although the position of the foundations, incorporating earlier material, of the arcade piers of the 13th century church suggested the re-use of earlier foundations. An annular stone feature of medieval date, with a purposely perforated inlet pipe, sited on the central axis of the church near the shrine of St Kentigern, was considered a holy water basin connected with pilgrim visitation to the shrine.
A Fragment of a Stela of Senenmut
Authors: Thomson James K 
Published: February 2011

Summary One of the few women to occupy the throne in Ancient Egypt was the famous Queen Hatshepsut. Among the Egyptian antiquities preserved in Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum is a fragment of a stela bearing an inscription of the queen's chief steward Senenmut, whose career was closely connected with that of the ruler. Such inscribed material, however meagre in extent, helps to supplement the primary sources of this period of history.
Excavation of a Roman Bathhouse at Bothwellhaugh, 1975—76
Authors: Keppie L J F 
Published: February 2011

SummaryIn 1975—76 the extra-mural bathhouse of Bothwellhaugh Roman fort near Motherwell, Lanarkshire, was completely excavated prior to flooding of the site. The bathhouse, which probably overlay a small native settlement, was in use during the Antonine phase of the Roman occupation of Scotland (AD 142—c. 165). The bathhouse consisted of a vestibule, a cold room (Frigidarium) and cold plunge bath, two warm rooms (the First and the Second Tepidarium), a hot room (Caldarium) with adjacent hot bath, and a furnace room (Praefurnium). Three main phases of use were detected. After the building ceased to function as a bathhouse, it was occupied by squatters who adapted parts of the structure to their own needs and left evidence of their presence in a large quantity of animal bone. Radiocarbon dates on this bone indicate activity in the 2nd or 3rd centuries ad.
A Fallen Stone at the Ring Cairn of Culdoich, Clava, Inverness
Authors: Barber John 
Published: February 2011

SummaryExcavation at the fallen stone by the ring cairn of Culdoich, Clava, Inverness, which lies to the SWof the main group of Clava cairns, produced no dating evidence. The orthoslat was thought to have been the remnant of a stone circle which encircled the cairn, but a resistivity survey of the area failed to locate any other sockets. Limited excavation under a large slab near the cairn produced ard marks, post-holes and a sherd of pottery under c. 60 cm of soil. This implies that a settlement, possibly associated with the cairns, lies protected beneath this layer.
The Leckie broch, Stirlingshire: an interim report
Authors: MacKie Euan W 
Published: February 2011

SummarySome of the results of the excavation of the broch at Leckie between 1970 and 1978 are briefly described. The clear stratigraphy and the many closely dateable Roman finds allow new conclusions to be drawn about the date of some Iron Age artefacts and about the origin of the southern Scottish brochs. For example it seems now that some of these brochs were built, presumably with the approval of the Roman Army, during the Flavian period (AD 80–100) and probably soon after Agricola's recall. The richness of the finds at Leckie, and the many valuable imported items, support the view that the southern broch builders were originally allies of Rome. Later, soon after the start of the Antonine period, things became different and this broch, probably with others, was destroyed – possibly by the Roman forces.
Gordon Parry's West Burra Survey
Authors: Hedges John W 
Published: February 2011

SummaryIn the course of casual fieldwalking during the early part of the Tougs excavations, Parry observed a number of field monuments on West Burra which were not included in the Royal Commission Inventory (1946), the Ordnance Survey Antiquity Cards (nd) or Colder's list of ‘neolithic’ houses, cairns and burnt mounds (1956; 1963). These sites included houses with field systems, spatially associated and seemingly unassociated burnt mounds, and dykes which appeared to partition the island. The recording of such a well preserved archaeological landscape was of obvious value and, as it was felt that this would add to our understanding of the site being excavated, the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments authorised a survey of West Burra as an integral part of the Tougs project. The survey was carried out over a three week period in April 1977 by Gordon Parry with the occasional assistance of R Barcham and R Wallace.
Interim report on the structures at Howe, Stromness, Orkney
Authors: Carter S P , Haigh D , Neil N R J , Smith Beverley 
Published: February 2011

Summary Excavations at Howe revealed a complex series of settlements which spanned the whole of the Iron Age period and were preceded by two phases of Neolithic activity. A probable stalled cairn was succeeded by a Maes Howe type chambered tomb which was later followed by enclosed settlements of which only scant remains survived. These settlements were replaced by a roundhouse with earth-house, built into the ruins of the chambered tomb. The roundhouse was surrounded by a contemporary defended settlement. Rebuilding led to the development of a broch structure and village. Partial collapse of tower brought about changes in the settlement, andalthougk some houses were maintained as domestic structures, others were rebuilt as iron-working sheds. The construction of smaller buildings and a later Iron Age or Pictish extended farmstead into rubble collapse accompanied a decline in the size of the settlement. The abandonment of the farmstead marked the end of Howe as a settlement site.
WILLIAM HUNTER AND CAPTAIN COOK The 18th Century Ethnographical Collection in the Hunterian Museum
Authors: MacKie E W 
Published: February 2011

Summary ‘First contact’ artefacts collected from aboriginal peoples by the early European explorers are now valuable in providing the only direct evidence for recent ‘Stone Age’ technologies which no longer exist. During the J770's Dr William Hunter collected many such artefacts for his private museum; most originated in the Pacific and in North America and had been collected by people who sailed with Captain James Cook. Since 1978 it has been possible to re-identify most of this early ethnographical material and to separate itfrom later acquisitions. To emphasise the archaeological relevance of this examples are described here from 18th century hunter-gatherer peoples (the Indians of Tierra delFuego, theNootka of British Columbia and the Eskimos of Alaska) and from stone-using farmers (the Maoris of New Zealand and the islanders of Hawaii). A list of the surviving early collection is given in microfiche.
