Increased Depressive Symptoms in Female but Not Male Adolescents Born at Low Birth Weight in the Offspring of a National Cohort

Objectives: To test if being born at low birth weight (LBW; <2500 g) or being small for gestational age (SGA; <10th percentile for gestational age [GA]) are associated with increased levels of depressive symptoms in youth and, if so, when these first emerge, if the relation is sex-specific, and whether this effect is direct or mediated by early life difficulties. Method: Associations between LBW, SGA, and depressive symptoms at ages 4 to 7 years and 10 to 14 years were tested in 1230 children born to the female participants of the National Longitudinal Study of Youth using linear regression models adjusting for maternal age, ethnicity, education, weight, depressive symptoms, marital status, and income. We also adjusted for GA, the child's age, and depressive symptoms at ages 4 to 7 years. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and short-term memory at ages 8 to 10 years were also assessed for their putative role in mediating this relation. Results: LBW and SGA were associated with increased levels of depressive symptoms in adolescent girls only. This persisted despite adjustment for perinatal factors and was not accounted for by putative mediators. In males and females, increased levels of depressive symptoms were associated with elevated maternal pre-pregnancy weight, depression, and single marital status, as well as childhood ADHD and depressive symptoms. Similar results were found for infants born SGA. Conclusions: Our results support the existence of a female-specific association between LBW, SGA, and adolescent depressive symptoms. Differences in exposures to maternal mediators of stress or developmental factors may underlie these findings.
The Role of Perceived Organizational Support to Increase Effect of Organizational Justice Dimension on Organizational Citizenship Behavior

The purpose of this study to examine effect of three organizational justice's component to organizational citizenship behavior directly and indirectly through perceived organizational support. Object of this study are Lecturers in Private Universities in Denpasar Bali. This explanatory study used survey technique with data collected by distributing questionnaires to the all respondents.

PLS (Partial Least Square) method was used to analyze data and find out the relationship and path coefficients among the variables. Regarding all of hypotheses that proposed in this study, there are two hypotheses rejected. Important findings from this study which are: (1) greatest impact with biggest path coefficient are the effect of interactional justice on perceived organizational support; (2) there is important mediating effect of perceived organizational support in justice and extra-role behavior relationship; (3) Key important aspect was interactional justice, which could fostering extra role behavior such organizational citizenship behavior directly, or through perceived organizational support.
House Dust Collection Efficiency of the High Volume Small Surface Sampler on Worn Carpets

The High Volume Small Surface Sampler (HVS3) is a dust-sampling vacuum that allows for set airflow and back pressure during sampling, increasing precision. Total dust collection efficiency of the HVS3 has been evaluated only on new carpets—not worn carpets. We performed a factorial study to assess the impact of carpet wear, dust deposition level, carpet type, and relative humidity during sampling on HVS3 collection efficiency. House dust was aerosolized in a 1-m3 exposure chamber and allowed to settle on test carpets and reference filters. Dust was embedded into the carpets and later extracted with the HVS3 under controlled environmental conditions according to established protocols. Overall collection efficiency was high, 88.3%. Collection efficiency was significantly higher at low relative humidity levels (30%) relative to high (75%) (p = < 0.0001), though differentially between cut-pile and closed-loop carpets. Collection efficiency of carpets with high wear was significantly lower than those with midlevel wear (p = 0.01). These results demonstrate that the design of the HVS3 partially corrects for differences in dust load and carpet type. However, collection efficiency of the HVS3 is affected by high levels of carpet wear and ambient humidity during sampling.
Simulations of two‐dimensional modeling of biomass aggregate growth in network models

We investigate the mechanisms by which microorganism that grow in the form of aggregates impact the permeability and the transport properties of porous media modeled as two‐dimensional networks. In a companion paper [Dupin et al., this issue] we present a model of processes in a single channel. In this paper, we describe how to assemble channels into networks. Simple networks are investigated to identify phenomena of interest: four channels of different width operating in parallel to study the effect of local heterogeneity; a periodic network to quantify the effects of distance from the injection point on clogging and substrate utilization; and square lattice 5×5 random width networks. Although square lattice random width networks are deemed better approximations of porous media, the simpler networks exhibit all the phenomena of interest, with the added advantage of these phenomena being decoupled. Results of numerical simulations for different network types under various boundary conditions show that aggregates have a far greater potential than biofilms to clog a porous medium.
Alfalfa Stem Tissues: Cell Wall Deposition, Composition, and Degradability

Declining cell wall degradability of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) stems with maturation limits the nutritional value of alfalfa for ruminants. This study characterized changes in cell wall concentration, composition, and degradability by rumen microbes resulting from alfalfa stem tissue proliferation and development during maturation. The seventh internode from the shoot base of three alfalfa clones was sampled after 12, 17, 21, 31, and 87 d of regrowth in 1996 and 21 and 31 d in 1997. Cross sections were examined by light microscopy for tissue development, and after 48-h in vitro degradation. Cell wall concentration and composition of the internodes were determined by the Uppsala dietary fiber method, and cell wall degradability by rumen microbes was measured after 12 and 96 h. All stem tissues were pectin-rich and nonlignified at the two youngest maturities in 1996, except for primary xylem vessels which had lignified and thickened walls, and the internode was actively elongating. Primary xylem was the only tissue not degraded from immature stems. The 21-d-old internodes had completed elongation and begun secondary xylem proliferation. Secondary xylem lignified immediately, and lignification of primary phloem and pith parenchyma began when elongation ended. As tissues lignified, their cell walls became undegradable. Maturation increased stem proportion consisting of undegradable secondary xylem, and cell wall polysaccharide composition shifted from predominantly pectin toward cellulose. Degradability of pectin remained high regardless of maturity stage, but cellulose and hemicellulose degradabilities declined as secondary xylem proliferated. Degradability of alfalfa stems would be improved if the amount of lignified secondary xylem was reduced
Chemotherapy‐induced B‐cell depletion in hepatoblastoma patients undergoing ABO‐incompatible living donor liver transplantation

LT from ABO‐I donors requires preconditioning regimens to prevent postoperative catastrophic AMR. NAC for HBL is known to cause myelosuppression leading to a reduction in the number and function of lymphocytes. We investigated this chemotherapy‐induced myelosuppression in HBL patients listed for LT from ABO‐I donors with reference to the kinetics of B, T cells, and anti‐ABO blood type isoagglutinin titers. Between 2005 and 2015, of the 319 patients who underwent LDLT at our institute, 12 were indicated for unresectable HBL. Three patients with unresectable HBL who underwent LDLT from ABO‐I donors are included in this study. Immunosuppression consisted of a standard regime of tacrolimus and low‐dose steroids as in ABO compatible/identical LDLT. No additional preoperative therapies for B‐cell depletion were used. Absolute lymphocyte counts, lymphocyte subsets (including CD20+ B cells, CD3+CD4+ T cells and CD3+CD8+ T cells), and anti‐ABO blood type isoagglutinin titers were measured before LDLT and postoperatively. The median age at diagnosis was 19 months (range, 3–31 months). The median follow‐up was seven months (range, 6–15 months). The median interval from the last NAC to LDLT was 33 days (range, 25–52 days). The median interval from LDLT to adjuvant chemotherapy was 28 days (range, 22–36 days). The counts of CD20+ B cells before LDLT were depleted to median 5 cells/mm3 (range, 0–6 cells/mm3). There was a transient rebound in the CD20+ B cell counts on day seven (maximum of 82 cells/mm3) followed by a decline starting at 14 days after LDLT that was sustained for the duration of adjuvant chemotherapy. Anti‐ABO blood type isoagglutinin titers were lowered to between 1:1 and 1:16 before LDLT and remained low for the duration of follow‐up in this study. All of the three patients remained in good health without either acute cellular or AMR after LDLT. The B‐cell depletion that occurs after cisplatin‐based chemotherapy for HBL may help accomplish safe ABO‐I LDLT in children without the use of additional conditioning regimens for prevention of AMR.

DIFFERENCES IN SELF-ESTEEM OF ORPHAN CHILDREN AND CHILDREN LIVING WITH THEIR PARENTS

The current research investigated differences in self-esteem of orphan children and children living with both parents in their homes. The sample was composed of 150 children (75 children from orphanages and 75 living with both parents in their homes). Non probability purposive sampling technique was used. Children living with both parents were drawn from different private schools and orphan children were drawn from orphanages of Lahore city of Pakistan. Jonathan Berent’s Selfesteem Scale (1994) was individually administered to all the research participants. The author of self-esteem scale granted permission for its use in the current research. The children in orphanages reported lower degree of self-esteem than children living with their parents (t = 2.66, df =148, *p < .01). The findings further suggest no significant gender difference in selfesteem of the orphan children and the children living with both parents (t = -.54, df 148, p > .05). The findings of this research will promote our understanding of the personality and selfesteem of children in orphanages and intact homes.
Greater BOLD response to working memory in endurance‐trained adults revealed by breath‐hold calibration

Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with increased frontal and parietal activation during executive function tasks. While these findings suggest fitness‐related enhancement of neuronal response, the utility of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) may be limited by potential fitness‐related differences in global vascular reactivity. The aim of this study was to determine if highly fit adults display differential activation during working memory after calibration for vascular reactivity relative to their sedentary counterparts.
How a net works: implications of network structure for the persistence and control of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.

IN ITS USE of individual-level data, epidemiologic methodology compares the frequency of occurrence of an event (either an exposure or an outcome) in groups of people with contrasting characteristics. The statistical result is a measure of association (e.g., a relative risk) that compares the groups. Social network analysis of group phenomena, in contrast, focuses on the relationships among persons in a group, and produces a set of statistics that examines the quality, density, position, and structure of such relationships. 1 The considerable stream of theory and analysis that has developed in the field since its first enunciation in the 1930s2 includes such substantive areas as community decision making, diffusion and adoption of innovation, corporate interlocking, market analysis, scientific interactions, consensus and social influence, and coalition formation. 1
Gentamicin pharmacokinetic changes in induced acute canine nephrotoxic glomerulonephritis

Most clinical schemes used to adjust gentamicin dosage regimens in renal insufficiency assume that the volume of distribution remains constant. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of gentamicin (two-compartment open model) before and at two points during the acute phase of experimentally induced nephrotoxic (injection of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody) glomerulonephritis in beagle dogs. Disease was verified by decreased 24-h creatinine clearance, increased 24-h urinary protein excretion, and characteristic immunofluorescent, light- and electron-microscopic lesions. After disease induction, the concentration of drug in serum at time zero (Cp0) was significantly decreased and the volume of the central compartment (Vc) and the volume of distribution (Vd(area)) were increased in all treated dogs. These findings suggest that the assumption of unchanged volume of distribution in acute glomerulonephritis could lead to a serious overestimation of serum drug concentration.

Keywords: Corporate Tax Aggressiveness, Liquidity, Leverage, Earnings Management, and Compensation Tax Losses
Different Binding Domains for Ran-GTP and Ran-GDP/RanBP1 on Nuclear Import Factor p97*

Several proteins are required for the transport of nuclear proteins from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, including the nuclear location sequence receptor (NLS receptor), p97, the small nuclear GTPase Ran/TC4, and several nucleoporins. The interaction of Ran with p97 is thought to regulate the interaction of these transport components. Ran-GTP alone binds p97, but Ran-GDP binds p97 only in conjunction with RanBP1. Using site-directed mutagenesis and deletion analysis, we have identified two distinct but overlapping binding domains for Ran-GTP and Ran-GDP/RanBP1 on p97. A short acidic sequence in p97 is part of the Ran-GDP/RanBP1 binding domain, possibly functioning in a similar manner as the C-terminal acidic sequence in Ran. A conserved cysteine residue in p97, Cys-158, is required for binding Ran-GDP/RanBP1, but not for binding of Ran-GTP to p97. In a permeabilized cell protein import assay, a mutant p97 with alanine substituted for Cys-158 is unable to support import in the presence of NLS receptor and Ran. These results support a direct active role for Ran-GDP in the receptor complex and provide evidence that the activity of downstream effectors of small GTPases may be regulated by both GTP- and GDP-bound forms of the protein.
Managing Communication Tensions and Challenges During the End-of-Life Journey: Perspectives of Māori Kaumātua and Their Whānau

The purpose of this study is to explore the cultural practices and communication tensions perceived among Māori kaumātua (elders) and their whānaunga (extended family) during the end-of-life journey. Further, the study aims to explore the manner in which the tensions are managed. The study was framed by relational dialectics theory and included interviews with 21 kaumātua and focus groups with 39 whānau members. The study identified three cultural practices (dying at home, prayer, and song) that helped to build connection among the family members and also helped to connect the dying person to the spiritual world. Further, four communication tensions were noted: (a) autonomy and connection; (b) conflict and connection; (c) isolation and connection; and (d) balancing the needs of self and other. To manage these tensions, the following strategies were used: (a) coordination conversations; (b) inclusion in decision-making conversations; (c) emotional support within the whānau; and (d) passing on lessons to the next generation.
Computer‐Controlled Laser Ablation: A Convenient and Versatile Tool for Micropatterning Biofunctional Synthetic Surfaces for Applications in Biosensing and Tissue Engineering

This paper describes laser‐based methods for preparing micropatterns of bioactive molecular species in self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) and micropatterns of proteins and other biological molecules immobilized on solid substrates. Applications of these micropatterned surfaces in multianalyte biosensing and tissue engineering are emphasized. The focus of the paper is on the use of a computer‐controlled laser ablation system comprising a research‐grade inverted optical microscope, a pulsed nitrogen‐pumped dye laser emitting at 390 nm, a programmable sample stage, and the computerized control system. The laser system can be implemented in a typical biosensor or tissue culture laboratory to enable the facile and reproducible fabrication of micropatterned surfaces by several methods. Various methods for patterning are discussed with examples given and emphasis placed on (1) laser ablation in the fabrication of photolithography masks, (2) electrochemical patterning of SAMs, and (3) laser desorption of SAMs. The relative merits of each technique are discussed with respect to application in fabrication of active surfaces for biosensing and tissue culture applications.
No global loss of neocortical neurons in parkinson's disease: A quantitative stereological study

The global total number of neocortical neurons was estimated in 10 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD; mean age, 74.8 years; range, 68–83) and compared to 12 comparison subjects (mean age, 75.8 years; range, 70 – 84). The total mean neocortical neuron number in the patients with PD was 18.6 × 109 with a coefficient of variation (CV = SD/mean) of 0.18, which was not statistically significantly different from that of the controls (18.8 × 109; CV = 0.16; P = 0.90). In contrast to some studies reporting neocortical atrophy this was not confirmed in our study, where the mean volume of neocortex was the same in the two groups (P = 0.59). No difference was found in the volume of white matter, central gray structures, archicortex, or the ventricular system between the two groups. Most patients with PD develop cognitive disturbances with time, and this study cannot exclude that local neuron loss in specific subpopulations of neocortical neurons or cell loss in small but essential neocortical subregions may be part of the structural defects of PD. © 2004 Movement Disorder Society
The Affective Personality and Its Relation to Sexual Fantasies in Regard to the Wilson Sex Fantasy Questionnaire

The present study investigated associations between affective personality types, sex and sexual fantasies. Participants were 209 students, 75 men and 134 women who completed the Wilson Sex Fantasy Questionaire (Wilson 1978) and the Positive and Negative Affect Scales (Watson, Clark & Tellegen, 1988). Results showed that self-destructive and high affective personality types had more sexual fantasies compared to self-actualizing and low affective types. Men had significantly higher scores on exploratory and impersonal sexual fantasies compared to women. It was suggested that positive affectivity is associated with “external transparency” that is, a susceptibility to stimuli from the outside world, while negative affectivity is associated with “internal transparency” that is a tendency to look inward, reflect and fantasize.
