Published: July 2011

AbstractAim:  The aim was to estimate the prevalence of feeding and nutritional problems in children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Norway.Methods:  Data were abstracted from the Norwegian CP Register for 661 (368 boys) children born 1996–2003 (mean age 6 years 7 months; SD: 1.5). For children born from 1999 to 2003, weight and height were available. Body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2) was used to assess nutritional status.Results:  One hundred and thirty‐two (21%) children with CP were completely dependent on assistance during feeding. The prevalence of gastrostomy tube feeding was 14%. Longer duration of gastrostomy tube feeding was associated with higher weight and BMI, but not with height. Only 63% of the children with CP had normal BMI, 7% had grade 3 thinness, while the prevalence of overweight and obesity in our study was 16%. In all, 20% of the children had mean z‐scores for weight and/or height below – 2 SD.Conclusion:  Feeding problems in children with CP were common and associated with poor linear growth. A high proportion of the children were undernourished. Moreover, our results suggest that gastrostomy tube feeding may have been introduced too late in some children.
Gliosis in neonatal SUDI cases

Published: July 2011

AbstractAim:  To review sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUDI) in the first 28 days of life referred to a Coronial Perinatal Forensic Pathology Service over a 10‐year period from 2000 to 2009.Methods:  Cases were collected from mortuary records, and a retrospective review of autopsy reports and other available infant records was undertaken.Results:  Twenty‐four neonatal SUDI were reviewed. For eight infants, a diagnosis was made at autopsy. For the remaining 16 infants, 14 (87.5%) were bedsharing at the time of death. Maori infants and those living in deprived neighbourhoods were over‐represented. Only two infants were preterm, and four were growth‐restricted. At post‐mortem, white matter gliosis was found in 10 of the 16 (62.5%) unexplained SUDI cases.Conclusion:  Sudden unexpected infant deaths occur in the first month of life in association with bedsharing. Gliosis may be an important associated risk factor, and its presence indicates a previous insult of prenatal onset.

In a search for molecules involved in the interaction between intestinal nematodes and mammalian mucosal host cells, we performed MS to identify excretory–secretory proteins from Strongyloides ratti. In the excretory–secretory proteins of the parasitic female stage, we detected, in addition to other peptides, peptides homologous with the Caenorhabditis elegans heat shock protein (HSP)‐17, named Sra‐HSP‐17.1 (∼ 19 kDa) and Sra‐HSP‐17.2 (∼ 18 kDa), with 49% amino acid identity. The full‐length cDNAs (483 bp and 474 bp, respectively) were identified, and the genomic organization was analyzed. To allow further characterization, the proteins were recombinantly expressed and purified. Profiling of transcription by quantitative real‐time‐PCR and of protein by ELISA in various developmental stages revealed parasitic female‐specific expression. Sequence analyses of both the DNA and amino acid sequences showed that the two proteins share a conserved α‐crystallin domain and variable N‐terminals. The Sra‐HSP‐17s showed the highest homology with the deduced small HSP sequence of the human pathogen Strongyloides stercoralis. We observed strong immunogenicity of both proteins, leading to strong IgG responses following infection of rats. Flow cytometric analysis indicated the binding of Sra‐HSP‐17s to the monocyte–macrophage lineage but not to peripheral lymphocytes or neutrophils. A rat intestinal epithelial cell line showed dose‐dependent binding to Sra‐HSP‐17.1, but not to Sra‐HSP‐17.2. Exposed monocytes released interleukin‐10 but not tumor necrosis factor‐α in response to Sra‐HSP‐17s, suggesting the possible involvement of secreted female proteins in host immune responses.Database
Nucleotide sequences for Strongyloides ratti heat shock proteins 17.1 and 17.2 have been submitted to the GenBank database under the accession numbers HQ848950 and HQ848951
The nature of student teachers’ regulation of learning in teacher education
Authors: Endedijk Maaike D. , Vermunt Jan D. , Verloop Nico , Brekelmans Mieke 
Published: July 2011

Background. Self‐regulated learning (SRL) has mainly been conceptualized to involve student learning within academic settings. In teacher education, where learning from theory and practice is combined, student teachers also need to regulate their learning. Hence, there is an urgent need to extend SRL theories to the domain of teacher learning and to obtain scientific knowledge on the nature of student teachers’ SRL to enable support of these processes in teacher education.Aims. This study was aimed at exploring the nature of student teachers’ regulation of learning across various theoretical and practical contexts in teacher education.Sample. Twenty‐eight students from a post‐graduate academic teacher education institute participated in this study.Method. For the measurement of student teachers’ regulation activities, an open question log, called Learning Report, was developed. Content analysis and multiple correspondence analyses of 133 Learning Reports were used to identify qualitative differences in regulation activities and the underlying structure in the data.Results. The analyses resulted in the identification and description of the variety and frequency of student teachers’ regulation activities. The relations among the regulation activities were described by an underlying structure of two dimensions: passive versus active regulation of learning and prospective versus retrospective regulation of learning. Active regulation dominated in practice schools, passive regulation at the university.Conclusions. It is argued that for learning to teach, a different conceptualization of SRL is needed, focusing less on setting initial learning goals and more on retrospective aspects of SRL. Building blocks for such a conceptualization are offered.
The APL Paradigm and the “Co-Clinical Trial” Project
Authors: Nardella Caterina , Lunardi Andrea , Patnaik Akash , Cantley Lewis C. , Pandolfi Pier Paolo 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
Tremendous advances in technologies have allowed the attainment of powerful insights into the molecular and genetic determinants that drive human cancers. However, this acquired knowledge has been translated into effective therapeutics very slowly, in part due to difficulty in predicting which drug or drug combination is likely to be effective in the complex mutational background of human cancers. To address this difficulty we have proposed and initiated the “co-clinical trial” project, in which we exploit mouse models that faithfully replicate the variety of mutational events observed in human cancers, to conduct preclinical trials that parallel ongoing human phase I/II clinical trials. Here, we focus on concepts relevant to the application of this novel paradigm and the essential components required for its implementation to ultimately achieve the rational and rapid development of new therapeutic treatments.

The Drug-Induced Degradation of Oncoproteins: An Unexpected Achilles' Heel of Cancer Cells?
Authors: Ablain Julien , Nasr Rihab , Bazarbachi Ali , de Thé Hugues 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
Many targeted therapies against cancer are aimed at inhibiting the enzymatic activity of kinases. Thus far, this approach has undoubtedly yielded significant clinical improvements, but has only rarely achieved cures. Other drugs, which selectively elicit proteasome-dependent degradation of oncoproteins, induce the loss of cancer cell self-renewal and promote cell differentiation and/or apoptosis. In acute promyelocytic leukemia, the cooperative degradation of PML/RARA by arsenic and retinoic acid cures most patients. In this condition and others, drug-induced proteolysis of oncoproteins is feasible and underlies improved clinical outcome. Several transcription factors, nuclear receptors, or fusion proteins driving cancer growth could be candidates for proteolysis-based drug-discovery programs.
Summary: Some cancer therapies may degrade oncoproteins. Loss of the driver oncoprotein is associated with loss of cancer cell self-renewal. Leukemia- or sarcoma-associated fusion proteins are the best candidates for small-molecule screens aimed at initiating oncoprotein degradation. Cancer Discovery; 1(2). 117–27. ©2011 AACR.
Splittability of Bilexical Context-Free Grammars is Undecidable
Authors: Nederhof Mark-Jan , Satta Giorgio 
Published: July 2011

Bilexical context-free grammars (2-LCFGs) have proved to be accurate models for statistical natural language parsing. Existing dynamic programming algorithms used to parse sentences under these models have running time of O(∣w∣4), where w is the input string. A 2-LCFG is splittable if the left arguments of a lexical head are always independent of the right arguments, and vice versa. When a 2-LCFGs is splittable, parsing time can be asymptotically improved to O(∣w∣3). Testing this property is therefore of central interest to parsing efficiency. In this article, however, we show the negative result that splittability of 2-LCFGs is undecidable.
Cremation Services upon the Death of a Companion Animal: Views of Service Providers and Service Users
Authors: Chur-Hansen Anna 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThere is no systematic research on the rites and rituals associated with companion animal death in modern Australian society. Three cremation service providers were interviewed and asked to consider which caretakers have their companion animals cremated. Seven people who had recently had a companion animal cremated were then asked about their views on the process. Five interrelated themes emerged from the two data sets about who uses cremation services for companion animals: “Everyone uses companion animal cremation services”; “People who consider the companion animal as a family member, as a child”; “People who want memorials for their companion animals”; “Grieving people”; and “People who seek compassion and social support.” With scant recognition of the impact of companion animal death and the role of rites and rituals in facilitating the grieving process, further research in the area is needed, including into attachment as a possible mediator.
How Unique is East Asian Modernity?1
Authors: Schmidt Volker H. 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThe article examines Shmuel Eisenstadt’s claim that Japan constitutes a unique modernity, one that differs fundamentally from Western modernity. Since this claim, like the multiple modernities approach founded by Eisenstadt, is directed against the convergence thesis of classical modernisation theory, that thesis’ meaning is first briefly reconstructed. Moreover, to stand Eisenstadt’s case on a broader basis, the four tiger states (South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore) are added to the sample, thus extending Japanese modernity to a larger East Asian modernity. These five countries are then compared with the five largest Western countries along several dimensions that seem to be particularly salient for probing modernisation theory. Surprisingly, the comparison fully confirms the theory. The article then moves on to assess Eisenstadt’s claim in light of his own conceptualisation of modernity. This conceptualisation renders his proposal more plausible, but at considerable cost. The conclusion is devoted to asking how Eisenstadt’s substantive concerns could be met without reading too much into his empirical findings.
Benchmarking Outputs of Pension Provisions in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan: An SMOP Approach
Authors: Lin Hung-Yang 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThis research intends to construct a pension policy index with the Surface Measure of Overall Performance (SMOP) approach to measure, compare and rank the performance of pension system outputs of urban and rural China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. It is found that the overall performance of these five Asian pensions was generally low. The urban and rural Chinese pension schemes were ranked as the best and worst systems respectively; while Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan’s performances were at similar levels. These five Asian schemes were with significant weaknesses in old-age poverty reduction, de-familisation and scale of resources emphasized on retirement income security.
The Philosophy and Politics of Bruno Bauer Krise und Kritik bei Bruno Bauer: Kategorien des Politischen im nachhegelschen Denken
Authors: De Ridder Widukind 
Published: July 2011

AbstractIn this review, both readings of Bruno Bauer are analysed in light of a broader post-Hegelian context. Douglas Moggach deliberately avoids this issue, since his main focus is on establishing a connection between Bauer’s philosophy and politics, without immediately exposing him to, for instance, the alleged ‘caricature’ Marx made of him. This ‘caricature’, however, is of some importance, since it opens a debate on Bauer’s position among the post-Hegelians, his followers and his adversaries. Marx’s criticism is particularly interesting, since it was not of a philosophical nature but, rather, of a political one. Some readers ‐ and Marxists in particular ‐ might, in fact, be a bit disappointed by the choices Moggach has made, but I am fully convinced that his study has more to offer than they might suspect. That is why this article broadens the perspective by discussing Massimiliano Tomba’s Krise und Kritik bei Bruno Bauer. Tomba reaches conclusions similar to Moggach’s, but differs from the latter by giving, among other things, a different account of the origins of the older Bauer’s conservatism. In so doing, Tomba illuminates Marx’s criticism of his contemporaries, while drastically altering our perception of post-Hegelianism in general.
Marx, Lenin and Pashukanis on Self-Determination: Response to Robert Knox
Authors: Bowring Bill 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThis response to Robert Knox’s very kind and constructive review1 of my 2008 book The Degradation of the International Legal Order: The Rehabilitation of Law and the Possibility of Politics gives me the opportunity not only to answer some of his criticisms, but also, on the basis of my own reflections since 2008, to fill in some gaps. Indeed, to revise a number of my arguments. First, I restate my attempt at a materialist account of human rights. Next I explain why, for me, the right of peoples to self-determination is absolutely central to a materialist understanding of human rights; and also fill a serious gap in my own account in the book. This leads me not only to a reply to Robert Knox on the question of ‘indeterminacy’ in international law, but also to a disagreement with him on the use or misuse of the language of self-determination. My fourth section returns to our very different evaluations of the significance and meaning of the work of Yevgeny Pashukanis, and what, for me, is Pashukanis’s misunderstanding, for reasons consistent with his general theoretical trajectory, of Marx and Lenin on the Irish question. Finally, I present an outline of a re-evaluation of Marx’s principled position on self-determination.
Darkness in the Desert:Tradition and Transgression in Ibrāhīm al-Kūnī’s Ushb al-Layl
Authors: Rossetti John Joseph Henry 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThis paper examines themes of moral transgression in the 1997 novel Ushb al-Layl (Night Grass) by Libyan novelist Ibrāhīm al-Kūnī, particularly as viewed through the novel’s recurrent motif of darkness and blackness. As with all of Ibrāhīm al-Kūnī’s fiction, Ushb al-Layl is set in a traditional Tuareg society in the Sahara. In this case, the protagonist, out of scorn for the rest of his society, violates its customary law and moral codes—preferring darkness to light, committing murder and incest, and defying matrilineal traditions in favor of fathers—all in the name of a higher wisdom and a quest for immortality. Through this character’s monstrous behavior, I argue, Ibrāhīm al-Kūnī implicitly criticizes the tendency of modern ideas to overturn traditions in the name of enlightenment and progress, while leaving a dangerous moral vacuum in their wake.
Shifting Positions between Anthropology, Religion and Development: The Case of Christianity
Authors: Geest Sjaak van der 
Published: July 2011

AbstractAnthropologists in Africa used to have an ambivalent relationship with missionary Christianity and international development work. Being active in the same areas but with different intentions reinforced mutual stereotypes and added to the uneasiness. This seems to be changing now. Christianity has passed its missionary stage and is now an African religion, interesting to study for anthropologists and ‘applied anthropology’ allows anthropologists to make their discipline more meaningful and relevant to today’s world. The involvement of medical anthropologists in health development is a case in point.
A Just Medium: Empathy and Detachment in Historical Understanding
Authors: Sandis Constantine 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThis paper explores the role of empathy and detachment in historical explanation by comparing Collingwood and Hume’s philosophies of history to Brecht and Stanislavki’s theories of theatre. I argue that Collingwood’s notion of re-enactment shares much more with Hume and Brecht than it does with Stanislavski. This enables a just medium between rationalistic and empathetic accounts of historical understanding, as recently put forth by Mark Bevir and Karsten Stueber respectively.
Let’s Be Flexible: Our Interpretive/Explanatory Toolbox, or In Praise of Using a Range of Tools
Authors: Henderson David 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThis paper explores the role and limits of cognitive simulation in understanding or explaining others. In simulation, one puts one’s own cognitive processes to work on pretend input similar to that one supposes that the other plausibly had. Such a process is highly useful. However, it is also limited in important ways. Several limitations fall out from the various forms of cognitive diversity. Some of this diversity results from cultural differences, or from differences in individuals’ cognitive biographies. Such diversity is clearly important in history. Some sorts of such diversity are discussed, with attention to the results of contemporary cognitive science. It is argued that one must sometimes employ mixed (simulation-based/theory-based) strategies, and that sometimes what is done will be neither purely simulation nor purely theory-based.
Unusual association of ST-T abnormalities, myocarditis and cardiomyopathy with H1N1 influenza in pregnancy: two case reports and review of the literature
Authors: Chan Karen , Meek David , Chakravorty Indranil 
Published: July 2011

Abstract

Introduction
Myocarditis is rarely reported as an extra-pulmonary manifestation of influenza while pregnancy is a rare cause of cardiomyopathy. Pregnancy was identified as a major risk factor for increased mortality and morbidity due to H1N1 influenza in the pandemic of 2009 to 2010. However, to the best of our knowledge there are no previous reports in the literature linking H1N1 with myocarditis in pregnancy.

Case presentation
We report the cases of two pregnant Caucasian women (aged 29 and 30), with no pre-existing illness, presenting with respiratory manifestations of H1N1 influenza virus infection in their third trimester. Both women developed evidence of myocarditis. One woman developed acute respiratory distress syndrome, almost reaching the point of requiring extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation, and subsequently developed persistent cardiomyopathy; the other recovered without any long-term consequence.

Conclusions
While it is not possible to ascertain retrospectively if myocarditis was caused by either infection with H1N1 virus or as a result of pregnancy (in the absence of endomyocardial biopsies), the significant association with myocardial involvement in both women demonstrates the increased risk of exposure to H1N1 influenza virus in pregnant women. This highlights the need for health care providers to increase awareness amongst caregivers to target this 'at risk' group aggressively with vaccination and prompt treatment.

Authors: Imanaka Nobuhito , Masui Toshiyuki , Yasuda Keisuke 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
Excellent oxidation catalysts, which can completely oxidize volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane at moderate temperatures, have been prepared. A new concept based on the design of solid electrolytes has been applied to the preparation of the catalysts. By the synergetic effect of precious metals and rare earth oxides, complete oxidation of VOCs and methane into CO2 and steam at moderate temperatures has been realized for the present catalysts.

Abstract
The clinical application of curcumin in cancer treatment is considerably limited due to its serious poor delivery characteristics. In order to increase the hydrophilicity and drug delivery capability, we encapsulated curcumin into 1,3-β-glucan isolated from Vietnam medicinal mushroom Hericium erinaceum. The 1,3-β-glucan-encapsulated curcumin nanoparticles (Cur–Glu) were found to be spherical with an average size of 50 nm, being suitable for drug delivery applications. They were much more soluble in water not only than free curcumin but also than other biodegradable polymer-encapsulated curcumin nanoparticles. An antitumor-promoting assay was carried out, showing the positive effects of Cur–Glu on tumor promotion of Hep-G2 cell line in vitro.
DNA Morphologic Changes Induced by Spermine on a Gold Surface under DNA Crowding Conditions

Published: July 2011

Abstract
DNA immobilized on a gold surface was globule in the absence of spermine. Upon addition of spermine, the DNA underwent a structural transition that was dependent on DNA length from a globular structure to a random coil. This effect was opposite the DNA morphologic changes observed in dilute solutions.
Synthesis of a Novel Silicone Monomer Bearing Amide Groups to Improve Compatibility with Hydrophilic Vinyl Monomers
Authors: Yokota Mitsuru , Nakamura Masataka , Ajiro Hiroharu , Akashi Mitsuru 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
We designed a novel monomer bearing one organosiloxanyl group and two amide groups in order to improve its compatibility with hydrophilic vinyl monomers. The novel monomer, N-2-(N′,N′-dimethylcarbamoyl)ethyl-N-[3-tris(trimethylsiloxy)silylpropyl]acrylamide (SiDAAA) showed good miscibility with N-(hydroxyethyl)acrylamide (HEAA) and formed a transparent hydrogel with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in the presence of a crosslinker. In contrast, the conventional monomer did not show transparency, such as tris(trimethylsiloxy)silylpropyl methacrylate (TRIS). These results validated our monomer design concept.
