Anticipatory Action

Background: The capacity of children with hemiplegia to be engaged in anticipatory action planning is affected. There is no balance among spatial, proprioceptive and visual information, thus altering the affected upper limb visuomotor coordination. The objective of the present study was to assess the improvement in visuomotor coordination after the application of a unimanual intensive therapy program, with the use of unaffected hand containment compared with not using unaffected hand containment. Methods: A simple blind randomized clinical trial was realized. A total of 16 subjects with congenital infantile hemiplegia participated in the study with an age mean of 5.54 years old (SD:1.55). Two intensive protocols for 5 weeks of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) or unimanual therapy without containment (UTWC) were executed 5 days per week (2 h/day). Affected upper limb visuomotor coordination (reaction time, task total time, active range, dynamic grasp) was measured before–after intensive therapy using a specific circuit with different slopes (10°/15°). Results: Statistically significant inter-group differences were found after the intervention, with clinically relevant results for the mCIMT group not seen in UTWC, in the following variables: reaction time 10°slope ( p = 0.003, d = 2.44), reaction time 15°slope ( p = 0.002, d = 2.15) as well as for the task total time 10°slope ( p = 0.002, d = 2.25), active reach 10°slope ( p = 0.002, d = 2.7), active reach 15°slope ( p = 0.003, d = 2.29) and dynamic grasp 10°/15°slopes ( p = <0.001, d = 2.69). There were not statistically significant inter-group differences in the total task time with 15°slope ( p = 0.074, d = 1.27). Conclusions: The use of unaffected hand containment in mCIMT would allow improvements in the affected upper limb’s visuomotor coordination. Thus, it would favor clinical practice to make decisions on therapeutic approaches to increase the affected upper limb functionality and action planning in children diagnosed with infantile hemiplegia (4–8 years old).

Tribes in Papua consider dogs to be animals that have important values for their lives. This paper aims to determine the function of dogs for the lives of tribes in Papua and to determine the value of these dogs for the lives of tribes in Papua. The method used in this study is an ethno-archaeological approach. The function of dogs in the lives of several tribes in Papua is as friends for hunting and also as their dema and totem. The Momuna and Korowai tribes use dog tooth fangs as payment for dowry, custom fines, and also used as body jewelry in the form of necklaces and bracelets. The sacred value of a dog for the lives of these tribes is the belief that a dog can expel subtle creatures (demons, dead spirits, evil magic, suanggi) by barking and also as dema / totems that can provide abundant hunting blessings. ABSTRAK Suku-suku di Papua menganggap anjing merupakan binatang yang mempunyai nilai penting bagi kehidupan mereka. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui fungsi anjing bagi kehidupan suku-suku yang berada di Papua serta untuk mengetahui nilai anjing tersebut bagi kehidupan suku-suku di Papua. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu pendekatan etnoarkeologi. Fungsi anjing dalam kehidupan beberapa suku-suku yang berada di Papua adalah sebagai sahabat untuk berburu dan juga sebagai dema dan totem mereka. Suku Momuna dan Suku Korowai menggunakan taring gigi anjing sebagai pembayaran mas kawin, denda adat, dan juga dijadikan perhiasan tubuh berupa kalung dan gelang. Nilai sakral seekor anjing bagi kehidupan suku-suku ini adalah kepercayaan bahwa seekor anjing dapat mengusir makluk halus (setan, roh-roh orang mati, sihir jahat, suanggi) dengan cara menggonggong dan juga sebagai dema/totem yang dapat memberikan berkat berburuan yang melimpah.

Focusing on Edison’s early cinematic apparatus and the optical printer, this chapter explores how copyright law intersects with creativity, providing an alternative to teleological accounts of moving-image technologies. Thomas Edison attempted to control the film industry through patents and copyright. Edison’s first film experiments were registered as a series of photographs on card by his assistant, W. L. Dickson. In protecting these contact copies as paper prints with copyright, the new medium of motion pictures was being formalized. The necessity to duplicate film to support the development of exhibition and distribution was also necessary for copyright purposes. An archaeological approach is utilized to explore how paper prints enabled innovation in the area of the optical printer, a primary form of duplication in cinema. In developing approaches that could bring to life the remaining examples of early cinema, novel solutions in the form of innovations were required. The overlapping concerns of the copyright clerk, the film entrepreneur, and the film historian thus provide a basis for new materials and new innovations in moving-image technology and film history.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present findings, based on a report for the International Centre for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA), of the preferred visions, scenarios and strategies of stakeholders articulated at a workshop held in Dubai from November 25 to 26, 2012. Design/methodology/approach – The “six pillars” approach to foresight was used to articulate visions of preferred futures of over 50 international stakeholders, including representatives from the UAE Government, national and international donors, the private sector and leading scientists from universities and international scientific institutions. These visions were then translated into a strategic and business plan for ICBA. Findings – The research center was successfully able to use foresight methods to develop a long-term strategic plan, continuing its history of innovation in knowledge-based research relating to saline and marginal environments. Novel visions and strategies for water and food futures were developed. A risk assessment of each vision was conducted. Research limitations/implications – This case study presents visions with scenarios and strategic pathways. It illustrates the utility in setting long-term visions first and then linking with strategic plans. Limitations include that the success of such a venture cannot be judged for at least five to six years. While in the short run, resources – human, partnerships, capital and leadership – have been mobilized, it is too soon to gauge real success of the foresight workshop, project. Practical implications – The study shows links between visions, scenarios and strategic pathways. Social implications – The study includes valuable discussions by leading scientists of water and food futures as well as the organizational and leadership capabilities required to deliver alternative futures. Originality/value – One of the few workshop-oriented interventions in the Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA) region using the anticipatory action learning six pillars framework is included. The study contrasts normal expert-based conferencing in the MENA region.
