Exercise responsive micro ribonucleic acids identify patients with coronary artery disease
Authors: Mayr Barbara , Müller Edith E , Schäfer Christine , Droese Silke , Breitenbach-Koller Hannelore , Schönfelder Martin , Niebauer Josef
Published: October 2018

Aims

Exercise is a trigger for acute coronary events especially in the untrained. Identifying subjects at risk remains a challenge. We set out to assess whether a distinct pattern of micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) expressed in response to an acute bout of all-out exercise might exist that would allow discrimination between health and disease.

Methods

Twenty healthy subjects and 20 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) performed an all-out cycle ergometry. Total RNA was extracted from blood drawn before and after exercise. Each blood sample was analysed for 187 target miRNAs by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.

Results

At baseline, 18 miRNAs allowed discrimination between healthy subjects and CAD patients. In response to an acute all-out exercise in healthy subjects 51 miRNAs and in CAD patients 60 miRNAs were significantly modulated (all p < 0.05). Using logistic regression analysis, a unique pattern of pre-exercise miR-150-5p, post-exercise miR-101-3p, miR-141-3p and miR-200b-3p together with maximal oxygen uptake and maximal power corrected for bodyweight allowed discrimination between healthy subjects and CAD patients with an accuracy of 92.5%.

Conclusion

In this most comprehensive analysis of exercise effects on circulating miRNAs to date we demonstrate for the first time that a distinct combination of miRNAs together with variables of exercise capacity allow robust discrimination between healthy subjects and CAD patients. We postulate that miRNAs may eventually serve as biomarkers to identify patients with CAD and possibly even those at risk of exercise-induced cardiac events.

Published: October 2018

Trichohepatoenteric syndrome or syndromic diarrhea is a rare and severe Mendelian autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by intractable diarrhea, facial and hair abnormalities, liver dysfunction, immunodeficiency and failure to thrive. It has been associated with mutations in TTC37 and SKIV2L genes, which encode proteins of the SKI complex that contributes to the cytosolic degradation of the messenger RNA by the cell’s exosome. We report a case of a male infant who suffered from typical symptoms and signs of trichohepatoenteric syndrome without immunodeficiency. The patient’s genetic testing showed a very rare mutation in SKIV2L gene’s 25 exons (p.Glu1038 fs*7 (c.3112_3140del)). Even though our patient was provided with total parenteral nutrition from birth, the child’s death in the third year of age highlights the severity of the disease and the poor prognosis of this particular type of genetic predisposition.
English as a Business Lingua Franca: A Discursive Analysis of Business E-Mails
Authors: Roshid Mohammod Moninoor , Webb Susan , Chowdhury Raqib
Published: October 2018

In the current world of business, English as a Business Lingua Franca (BELF) is used in both spoken and written communication and underpinned by the paradigm of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). While a number of research studies have been conducted exploring the spoken discourse facets of BELF users, relatively little attention has been paid hitherto to explore BELF written discourse facets, particularly, in business e-mail communication. This article examines how the BELF community discursively practices written discourse in their business e-mails. Data have been drawn from a pool of 92 e-mail messages collected from the business personnel engaged in international communications from five ready-made garments business organizations located in Bangladesh. These e-mails were exchanged between nonnative English speakers working as business personnel in the ready-made garments sector in Bangladesh and their counterparts—including both native and nonnative English speakers employed in six different countries. Applying both qualitative and quantitative content analyses, findings reveal that stylistically the components of e-mail messages are usually personalized, flexible and informal, and similar to ELF spoken discourse rather than ELF academic discourse and/or standard business letter writing. A wide range of language features have been identified in e-mails that are unique in this specific technology-based genre of communication. The awareness of these different facets of e-mail discourse has multiple implications in education.
Ecological Memories of Women in Nagaland and Northern Thailand
Authors: Barooah Samhita
Published: October 2018

This article is intended to reflect upon the intricacies of how women in Nagaland and in Northern Thailand are linked to their ecology. It is based on my doctoral work on women’s memories of the ecological past in Nagaland and also on the fieldwork done during a summer school programme in Nong Tao village of Northern Thailand which establishes the connections between ecology and community. Naga women have contributed immensely towards seed-saving traditions, natural fibre weaving, dying, farming and horticulture. In Northern Thailand as well as Karen, women contribute immensely towards ecological regeneration. This article would reflect upon the experiences of women in rural livelihoods who manage to safeguard ecological resource, restore dying traditions and replenish everyday needs for their communities through the natural environment. Oral memories of women farmers about their ecological space transcend beyond territorial boundaries across villages, even sometimes historical events which get alive through their memories of the past. Such memories are sometimes personal with intricate collective connotations and sometimes public with contextual and personal implications.

Communication skills training for healthcare students working with people with intellectual disabilities
Authors: Metcalf Elizabeth , Colgate Robert
Published: October 2018

Effective communication skills are essential for all healthcare professionals. Specialist teaching on communicating with people with intellectual disabilities is often lacking, resulting in poorer healthcare and worse outcomes than in the general population. Working with professionally trained actors with intellectual disabilities, we developed an interprofessional workshop that sought to provide authentic communication skills training to enable healthcare students from various disciplines to communicate effectively with patients of all abilities. In a survey, students reported that they found the workshops rewarding and confidence-building, and that they learnt more about the roles of their interprofessional colleagues.

Night-time confinement is an unacceptable hospital practice
Authors: Szmukler George
Published: October 2018

Night-time confinement, currently imposed as a blanket restriction on all patients on wards in UK high secure hospitals, constitutes an arbitrary restriction of liberty, not being based on any therapeutic purpose for those so restricted, nor serving a need for the protection of others. Its imposition constitutes a form of ‘degrading’ treatment as well as an unjustified restriction of ‘residual’ liberty. Persons who are vulnerable, especially those who are involuntarily detained as in this case, are particularly at risk of suffering human rights abuses. A compelling case can be made, based on ethics, law and accepted practice standards, for ruling out night-time confinement as an acceptable measure.

Is Activity Tracker–Measured Ambulation an Accurate and Reliable Determinant of Postoperative Quality of Recovery? A Prospective Cohort Validation Study
Authors: Massouh Faraj , Martin Rachel , Chan Bokman , Ma Julia , Patel Vikita , Geary Michael P. , Laffey John G. , Wijeysundera Duminda N. , Abdallah Faraj W.
Published: October 2018

BACKGROUND:

Quality of recovery (QOR) instruments measure patients’ ability to return to baseline health status after surgery. Whether, and the extent to which, postoperative ambulation contributes to QOR is unclear, in part due to the lack of valid tools to measure ambulation in clinical settings. This cohort study of the cesarean delivery surgical model examines the accuracy and reliability of activity trackers in quantifying early postoperative ambulation and investigates the correlation between ambulation and QOR.

METHODS:

A prospective cohort of 200 parturients undergoing cesarean delivery between July 2015 and June 2017 was fitted with wrist-worn activity trackers immediately postpartum. The trackers were collected 24 hours later, along with QOR assessments (QoR-15 scale). The relationship between QOR and various covariates, including ambulation, was explored using multivariable linear regression and Spearman correlation (ρ). Forty-eight parturients fitted with 2 trackers also completed a walk exercise accompanied by a step-counting assessor, to evaluate accuracy, inter-, and intradevice reliability using interclass correlation (ICC).

RESULTS:

Compared to step counting, activity trackers had high accuracy (ICC = 0.93) and excellent inter- and intradevice reliability (ICC = 0.98 and 0.96, respectively). Correlation analysis suggested that early ambulation is moderately correlated with postcesarean QoR-15 scores, with a ρ (95% confidence interval) equivalent to 0.56 (0.328–0.728). Regression analysis suggested that ambulation is a determinant of postcesarean QoR-15 scores, with an effect estimate (95% confidence interval) equivalent to 0.002 (0.001–0.003). Ambulation was also associated with all QoR-15 domains, except psychological support. The patient’s acceptable symptom state (subjective threshold for good ambulation) in the first 24 hours was 287 steps.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study demonstrated the accuracy and reliability of activity trackers in measuring ambulation in clinical settings and suggested that postoperative ambulation is a determinant of postoperative QOR. A hypothetical implication of our findings is that interventions that improve ambulation may also help to enhance QOR, but further research is needed to establish a causal relationship.
Thomas More’s Account of Natural Language and the Literariness of His Polemics
Authors: Murakishi Esei
Published: October 2018

In A Dialogue concerning Heresies (1529) and The Confutation of Tyndale’s Answer (1532–33), Thomas More proffers an account of natural language: the writing, speaking collectivity determines the meanings of words, and words picture the contents of the individual consciousness. All that is rendered in language, including the justifying faith of evangelical description, comes of the common, is the product of publicity. Though his twentieth- and twenty-first-century critics have thought otherwise, More’s contemporaries supposed his polemical contest with the evangelical William Tyndale a literary endeavor. In The Confutation More repeated and playfully dilated his opponent’s choicest phrases. In so doing, he sought to show the evil in Tyndale’s lexical pictures. The English were to reject both More’s religion and his account of natural language, while the evangelical doctrine, that meaning is an emanation of text, came tacitly to shape the theory and composition of profane poetry in the next century.
Associations between Distance and Loading Symmetry during Return to Sport Hop Testing
Authors: PEEBLES ALEXANDER T. , RENNER KRISTEN E. , MILLER THOMAS K. , MOSKAL JOSEPH T. , QUEEN ROBIN M.
Published: October 2018

Purpose

Hop tests are widely used to quantify recovery from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery. However, there is evidence that simply measuring hop distance may not be indicative of the quality of movement or representative of potential limitations in hopping mechanics, particularly during landing. The first purpose of the present study was to compare hop distance and loading symmetry between ACLR athletes and healthy uninjured recreational athletes. The second was to determine the association between hop distance and loading symmetry.

Methods

Twenty-five ACLR patients and 30 healthy controls completed the single hop, triple hop, and crossover hop test on each limb while the loadsol®, a single-sensor force insole, collected impact forces (100 Hz). A limb symmetry index (LSI) was calculated for hop distance, peak impact force, loading rate, and impulse from the final landing of each trial. LSI values were compared between groups using Mann–Whitney U tests, and distance and loading LSI values were compared using Spearman rank correlations.

Results

ACLR patients had reduced symmetry in hop distance and loading relative to healthy controls for every hop test and outcome measure (P < 0.05), except peak impact force on the single hop. Hop distance symmetry was significantly related to each loading symmetry measure on the crossover hop test (P < 0.01) and to peak impact force and impulse symmetry on the single hop test (P < 0.05) in each group.

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that ACLR patients both hop further and generate larger forces when hopping on their nonsurgical limb relative to their surgical limb. In addition, hop distance and loading symmetry provide clinicians and researchers with different information and therefore should be considered together when making return to sport decisions.
A Dynamic Model of Housing Supply
Authors: Murphy Alvin
Published: October 2018

This paper estimates a dynamic microeconometric model of housing supply. The model features forward-looking landowners who optimally choose both the timing and the nature of construction while taking into account expectations about future prices and costs. The model is estimated using a unique dataset describing individual landowners in the San Francisco Bay Area. Results indicate that geographic and time-series variation in costs are key to understanding where and when construction occurs. Pro-cyclical costs provide an incentive for some landowners to build before price peaks. Results also indicate that landowners actively “time” the market, which reduces the elasticity of supply.

Conforming beasts and compliant princesses: A radical appraisal of Disney’s 1990s Americana rhetoric
Authors: Seybold Samantha , Rondolino Massimo
Published: October 2018

This article provides a systematic analysis of the Disney Renaissance films’ narrative tropes as a way to discern the particular social world they collectively depict and promote. Taking these popular cinematic productions as expressions of their authors’ and artistic creators’ world views, it argues that they all effectively legitimize a particular American ethos conventionally and frequently equated with the ‘happy ever after’ life ideal of the United States’ white, Christian middle and upper classes of the post-World War II era. Ultimately, based on the textual analysis of these films, the article urges us to consider the cultural and social implications of these narratives, particularly in light of their global distribution and the narrow world view they promote and legitimize.

KUDETA YANG (DIRANCANG) GAGAL DAN KONSOLIDASI REZIM (NEO) ATATURK? HIZMET GULEN, PARALEL STATE, DAN AMBISI TERSELUBUNG ERDOGAN
Authors: Al Akbar Nuruddin
Published: October 2018

This study seeks to undertake critical reading of a number of military coup d’etat attempts that took place in 2016. The failure of the military coup d’etat can be read not as a victory of democracy, but rather as the consolidation effort that is continuously formed by Erdogan’s regime to increasingly exert his power in all areas of Turks life. This study rests on official discourse voiced by the Turkish government that states Gulen Hizmet movement plays an important role in the coup d’etat attempt. Unfortunately, Erdogan’s regime has acknowledged Gulen steps. Then, he designed a counter-coup operation in such a way in order to, firstly,  quell the coup d’etat attempts that occur thus ensuring Erdogan’s regime persisted; second,  make sure the coup d’etat attempt at certain level is still running so that it can be utilized for the benefit of Erdogan’s regime. The research method used in this research is discourse analysis with analytical framework based on Rossa and Nugroho Notosusanto theory about G30S event in Indonesia (which has been modified to read coup attempt in Turkey). The data sources used in this study are based entirely on secondary sources, including international and Turkish media coverage of the course of the coup. Includes various articles written by various experts / analysts about the incident.Keywords:  Erdogan, Gulen, Paralel State, Coup d’etat, Neo AtaturkAbstrakStudi ini berupaya melakukan pembacaan kritis upaya kudeta sejumlah kalangan militer yang berlangsung di tahun 2016. Kegagalan kudeta militer yang terjadi dapat dibaca bukan sebagai kemenangan demokrasi tetapi justru upaya kondolidasi yang terus dibangun rezim Erdogan untuk semakin mencengkramkan kuasanya di semua lini kehidupan masyarakat. Studi ini berpijak pada wacana resmi yang disuarakan oleh pemerintah Turki bahwasanya gerakan Hizmet Gulen memegang peranan penting dalam upaya kudeta. Akan tetapi rezim Erdogan telah membaca langkah Gulen dan merancang operasi kontra kudeta sedemikian rupa untuk: Pertama,  menumpas upaya kudeta yang terjadi sehingga memastikan rezim Erdogan tetap bertahan; Kedua, memastikan upaya kudeta dalam level tertentu tetap berjalan sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan sedemikian rupa bagi kepentingan rezim Erdogan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis wacana dengan kerangka analisis yang didasarkan pada teori Rossa dan Nugroho Notosusanto mengenai peristiwa G30S di Indonesia (yang dimodifikasi sedemikian rupa untuk membaca upaya kudeta di Turki). Sumber data yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini sepenuhnya mendasarkan pada sumber sekunder, baik pemberitaan media internasional dan Turki sendiri mengenai jalannya kudeta tersebut, ditunjang dengan berbagai artikel yang ditulis oleh berbagai analis mengenai kejadian tersebut.Kata Kunci: Erdogan, Gulen, Paralel State, Kudeta, Neo Ataturk
POVERTY DEBATES IN THE DEWAN RAKYAT OF THE MALAYSIAN PARLIAMENT
Authors: Aziz Nazli

This article highlights the nature of parliamentary debates in the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) of the Malaysian Parliament related to the poverty issues in Malaysia. Using qualitative research technique, it focuses on the untold story of poverty in Malaysia that buried in the Dewan Rakyat Hansard. Analysing poverty issues qualitatively, however, can be ambiguous and open to challenge. Despite the success story of poverty eradication in Malaysia, poverty issues have always been debated in almost every parliament proceeding in the Dewan Rakyat. If Malaysia is so successful in eradicating poverty, why the Members of Parliament (MPs) are still debating the issue in the Dewan Rakyat to date? To understand this issue, it uses Hansard records of the Dewan Rakyat (1990-2012) to narrate the multifaceted of poverty issues in both rural and urban consistencies in Malaysia, qualitatively. It reevaluates the previous works on poverty in Malaysia by examining the debates extracted from the Dewan Rakyat Hansard. The aim is to understand whether and to what extent the poverty eradication agendas have benefited communities and spilled over throughout the constituencies in Malaysia.Key words: The Malaysian Parliament, Hansard, Members of Parliament, Dewan Rakyat; poverty eradication AbstrakArtikel ini menyajikan prediksi perdebatan tentang isu kemiskinan di Malaysia yang diungkapkan di Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, Parlemen Malaysia.

The European Union (EU) involvement in the Aceh Monitoring Mission (AMM) was one of the successful story in the peaceful conflict settlement. In this mission, the EU has been able to show the world that it is one of significant actor in international politics. Admittedly, the EU represents uncertain image in international politics as if it can not be seen at the same level of sovereign-states. This article examines whether the EU played a significant role as an international actor in the peace process in Aceh through an indepth-look at the work of the AMM. By viewing the EU as an evolving entity which engaged in particular issues and by addressing its international presence in the context of its involvement in the AMM, it can be concluded the EU has played significant role as an international actor.

In the post-Fukushima nuclear disaster, the use of nuclear as safe, cheap and reliable energy resources is contested. Some actors are considered that nuclear energy is danger for human and environment for long term period. On the other hand, other actors are believed that nuclear is still important energy resources for Japan’s economic development. Risk arises as consequences of science and technology development. Some studies explained Fukushima nuclear disaster focusing on disaster management, energy politics, and technical aspect. Different to previous studies, this article aimsto analyze contestation of knowledge in risk nuclear construction in the post-Fukushima nuclear disaster. Risk is not only real, but also constructed by various institution and actors such as government, academicians, bureaucrats, scientists, and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) as nuclear reactor operator. Contestation of knowledge in nuclear risk construction comprises spreading and impact of nuclear radiation, the food safety standard, and a victim categorization that determine the parties entitled compensation. Contestation of knowledge and construction of nuclear risk urge new uncertainty in modern society. Thus, public take strategies cope with the new uncertainty by carrying out anti-nuclear movement and citizen science. Keywords:risk society, nuclear, Fukushima, JapanAbstrakPasca bencana nuklir Fukushima, pemanfaatan nuklir sebagai sumber energi yang aman, murah dan dapat diandalkan kembali diperdebatkan.

The paper is devoted to the development of approaches to realisation of public-private partnership (PPP) in the sphere of tourism. It has been proved that it is expedient to concentrate on a narrower economic understanding of PPP in the tourist industry. It has been established that it is necessary to regulate authorities, forms of relationships, to share risks, to provide legal guarantees on repayment of funds in the framework of PPP in the sphere of tourism. It has been determined that it is necessary to pick out a coordinating body, which will inform potential participants about peculiarities of projects’ realisation, as well as render educational services on the problematics of PPP, take part in competitions on selecting participants. It is proposed to foresee mechanisms of providing state guarantees on attracting financial resources and an opportunity of granting privileges to private investors in the framework of PPP in the sphere of tourism.

Published: October 2018

Drawing from three tourism-growth theories: tourism led growth theory; growth led tourism theory; tourism – growth neutrality theory; and one agriculture-growth nexus theory – agriculture overlapping theory, this study used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bound testing approach to examine whether or not cointegration exist among economic growth, agricultural output and tourism development in Nigeria. We intend to know what policy instruments need to be manipulated so as to achieve economic growth, increase agricultural output and enhance tourism development. From the results, it is evidence that a two –way cointegration exists between economic growth and agricultural output on the one hand, and between economic growth and tourism development on the other hand. The study also observed that a compelling long run relationship exist between agricultural output and tourism development. To achieve sustainable economic growth, policy makers are advised to pursue heavy investment in the tourism industry, adopts improved farming strategies driven by simple technology among others.
INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM’S COLLECTIVE NARRATIVE OF TRUMP IN BUSINESS
Authors: KIVISTO Peter
Published: October 2018

This article explores the collective journalistic narrative of Donald Trump’s business career. While Trump’s presentation of self as a successful businessman and celebrity was his primary rationale for his presidential candidacy, these investigative reporters paint a negative portrait of his conduct. Two years into the Trump administration, it is mired by a remarkable series of financial and other scandals, resulting in the forced resignations of top officials and increasing criticism of others. The emerging narrative is that the administration has attracted the type of individual drawn to a culture of corruption, which is in turn seen as emanating from the business culture embraced by Trump and his family.
HANDBOOK ON THE SOCIOLOGY OF YOUTH IN BRICS COUNTRIES: GENERAL EDITOR’S ANNOTATIONS
Authors: DWYER Tom
Published: October 2018

The paper highlights two key subjects of the new Handbook on the sociology of youth in BRICS countries. The first pay attention to mechanisms and structural contexts of youth social mobilization in the BRICS countries. The second deals with the effects of information technologies on social interactions between young people. The author argues that comparative analysis presented in the handbook demonstrates that development of South Africa, Brazil, China, Russia, and India does not follow strictly the path anticipated in the framework of modernization theory

Published: October 2018

Although the concept of family functioning has gained recent popularity, the terms "family functioning" and "family resilience" are sometimes confused and used interchangeably. The aim of this concept analysis was to clarify what is meant by family functioning in the context of diabetes self-management by assessing specific attributes, antecedents, and consequences. A concept analysis model by Walker and Avant was applied. The Identified attributes of family functioning in a diabetes self-management context Included problem-solving, communication, roles, affective responsiveness, affective involvement, and behavioral control. Antecedents Included family structure, socloeconomic status, family functioning relationships, family stage, and life events. Consequences Included family satisfaction, family cohesion, and family relationships. This analysis provided a deeper understanding of a family functioning concept within a diabetes self-management context. It is recommended that health care providers should be aware of antecedent factors that could inhibit outcome improvement. Further research is needed to explain family functioning attributes in relation to antecedents and potential consequences.
Regularity of symbolic powers and arboricity of matroids

Groups whose word problems are not semilinear
Authors: Gilman Robert H. , Kropholler Robert P. , Schleimer Saul
Published: October 2018

Suppose that G is a finitely generated group and {\operatorname{WP}(G)} is the formal language of words defining the identity in G.
We prove that if G is a virtually nilpotent group that is not virtually abelian, the fundamental group of a finite volume hyperbolic three-manifold, or a right-angled Artin group whose graph lies in a certain infinite class, then {\operatorname{WP}(G)} is not a multiple context-free language.
Non-recombining trinomial tree pricing model and calibration for the volatility smile
Authors: Gong Wenxiu , Xu Zuoliang
Published: October 2018

In this paper, we consider the non-recombining trinomial tree pricing model under the volatility, which is a function of time, establish the option pricing model and give the convergence rates of the non-recombining trinomial tree method. In addition, we research the calibration problem of volatility and adopt an exterior penalty method to transform this problem into a nonlinear unconstrained optimization problem. For the optimization problem, we use the quasi-Newton algorithm. Finally, we test our model by numerical examples and options data on the S&P 500 index. The results show the effectiveness of the non-recombining trinomial tree pricing model.

Published: October 2018

Stretchable and self-healing polymer gels with luminescent property are very promising materials for next generation soft optical devices. This work presents the preparation of self-healing and luminescent polymer gels by simply blending organometal halide perovskite nanocrystals (OHP NCs) with poly(dimethylsiloxane)-urea copolymer (PDMS-urea). On the one hand, the obtained luminescent gels are not only flexible, stretchable and relatively transparent, they also exhibit excellent self-healing capability due to the reversible hydrogen bonding network in the PDMS-urea copolymer. On the other hand, the embedding of OHP NCs (MAPbBr3 and MAPbI3 NCs) inside the hydrophobic PDMS-urea gel greatly improved the photoluminescence stability of OHP NCs against water. Their applications as phosphors for LEDs have been demonstrated. Both the MAPbBr3/PDMS-urea gel and MAPbI3/PDMS-urea gel can fully convert the blue emission of GaN chip to green and red emissions, respectively. These gels can be used as photoluminescent materials in flexible optical devices with good self-healing capability.
