A workshop conducted with students about colour in interior design and methods of colour selection emphasises the importance of colour knowledge and its place in education. This paper contains studio practice and the evaluation of the works that are organised with the interior architecture students in a studio in Turkey. The studio aims to inform and practice the students about colour knowledge and methods of colour selection that has a significant role in the interior architecture profession. The workshop methodology consists of three phases: a pre-study, a presentation of this topic and finally, the same practice done again by students using the methods in presentations. Space is the same in the first and the last studies in which the students made colour selections, thus students can compare and interpret these two works. It is observed that the workshop made a significant difference in colour perception of the students.Keywords: Interior design, colour selection, workshop, education, method.

IntroductionPersons of South Asian descent have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The management of T2DM in the South Asian community has required the support of adult children, potentially impacting the quality of life, diabetes-related knowledge, and risk perception among these caregivers.Research design and methodsTo investigate diabetes-related knowledge, quality of life, risk perception, and actual risk of developing diabetes among South Asian young adults whose parents are living with T2DM. A cross-sectional study was conducted (n=150). An online survey was administered. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics.ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference in diabetes-related knowledge between males and females (p<0.001). Males (in comparison to females) had a lower risk perception of developing diabetes (p=0.06). Further, risk perception and diabetes-related knowledge were positively associated with caregiver’s physical health (p=0.002).ConclusionFindings highlight the importance of providing gender-specific and culturally tailored diabetes educational interventions.

Design Experiments

In an attempt to bridge the gap between architectural/interior design practice and education, ‘atmosphere’ as a prolific contemporary architectural debate in practice and theory is covered by the experiment of ‘Staging Poe’ carried out as a first year Design Studio through the study of Edgar Allen Poe’s selected poems. Poe’s 1846 text of ‘The Philosophy of Composition’, unfolding his analytical method of writing and emphasis on “effect” in poetry, provides a ground for experimenting with facets of materiality and structuring the studio. Aiming to cultivate intuitive design experiments of students into informed processes in hybridizing conceptual/textual and material/sensual aspects, studio is structured in two phases. In the first phase, “materialization”, idiosyncratic interpretations of students from words to materials with a focus on tectonic experiments and haptic experiences are sought in between materializing and dematerializing processes. In the second phase, the “atmospheric”, emphasis on dematerialization of the perception of materials through tools, such as light, color and sound is exercised to transform the object into a performance stage. Outcomes of the studio on aspects pertaining to material and materialities in creation of the immaterial that is the atmosphere is followed and evaluated through responses of students’ weekly reports.

Background. The maximum duration of vascular access for hemodialysis functioning rarely exceeds 4 years. The main tool for diagnosing access dysfunction is duplex ultrasound. Dynamic ultrasound examination of vascular access is not included in the standard examination of patient undergoing hemodialysis in Russia.Objective. To study the structure of complications and changes in hemodynamics in the vascular access for hemodialysis and to determine the risk factors contributing to its development.Design and methods. Ultrasound, clinical and laboratory examination was performed in 550 patients undergoing program hemodialysis, 517 (94.0 %) of them had arteriovenous fistula, 33 (6.0 %) patients had arteriovenous graft.Results. Vascular access complications occurred in 26.7 % (147 patients), there was no significant difference in the detection rate of thrombosis (26.5 %), stenosis (23.8 %), and aneurysm (21.1 %). A combination of two complications was observed in 20.4 %, the steal syndrome — in 8.2 %. A correlation was established between the presence of significant stenosis, aneurysm of the outflow vein and the development of thrombosis, between the presence of concomitant diseases of the peripheral arteries and the development of steal syndrome and stenosis of the inflow artery and the anastomosis zone.Conclusion. Duplex ultrasound allows to diagnose complications of vascular access for hemodialysis and determine its causes.

SUMMARYAn outbreak of cholera occurred in November 1972 among passengers on an aircraft that had flown from London to Sydney. The infection was confined to economy-class passengers and the available evidence indicates that it was due to a dish of hors d'œuvres served on the aircraft between Bahrain and Singapore. Although one person died, the infection was generally mild, and almost half of those infected were symptomless. There was a significant difference between the immunization status of persons with clinical illness and the immunization status of other passengers. Current cholera immunization appeared to play a significant role in preventing symptoms of the disease, but it did not prevent a person becoming a carrier of the organism.

<b>OBJECTIVE</b> <p>To elucidate the pathogenesis of post-pancreatectomy diabetes (PPDM).</p> <p><b>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS</b></p> <p>Forty-eight patients without diabetes undergoing either pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) (n = 20) or distal pancreatectomy (DP) (n = 28) were included. 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was performed every 6 months. Microbiome composition and short-chain fatty acids in feces were examined before and 6 months after surgery. The association of histological characteristics of the resected pancreas with PPDM were examined.</p> <p><b>RESULTS</b></p> <p>During follow-up (median, 3.19 years), 2 out of 20 PD patients and 16 out of 28 DP patients developed PPDM. Proteobacteria relative abundance, plasma GLP-1, and fecal butyrate levels increased only after PD. Postsurgical butyrate levels were correlated with postsurgical GLP-1 levels. With no significant difference in the volume of the resected pancreas between the surgical procedures, both β-cell and α-cell areas in the resected pancreas were significantly higher in DP patients than in PD patients. In DP patients, the progressors to diabetes showed pre-existing insulin resistance compared with non-progressors, and both increased α- and β-cell areas were predictors of PPDM. Furthermore, in DP patients, α-cell and β-cell areas were associated with ALDH1A3 expression in islets.</p> <p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b></p> We postulate that a greater removal of β-cells contributes to the development of PPDM after DP. Islet expansion along with pre-existing insulin resistance is associated with high cellular-plasticity, which may predict the development of PPDM after DP. In contrast, PD is associated with alterations of gut microbiome and increases in SCFA production and GLP-1 secretion, possibly protecting against PPDM development.

<p>The discipline of interior architecture suffers from a lack of discipline specific theory, a definitive title and definition, and an understanding by the general public of the role and scope of this area of design. Many definitions view interior architecture (otherwise known as interior design or simply interiors) as existing only within the context of architecture. However a recent growth in interest and discussion around interiors has highlighted the fact that those within the discipline no longer view a fixed physical enclosure or architectural envelope as defining conditions of interior space. Architecture as a prerequisite to interiors has come into question, which also questions our understanding of the conditions that define interiority.  The concepts of shelter, place and atmosphere have been identified as contributing to an understanding of interior space. This research uses these three concepts as ‘lenses’ which contribute to an understanding of alternative ways of experiencing and designing interior space. The program of a bus shelter has been selected in order to test how these concepts can create an experience of interiority in a form that is not conventionally understood as interior space.</p>
