Bycura, DK, Dmitrieva, NO, Santos, AC, Waugh, KL, and Ritchey, KM. Efficacy of a Goal Setting and Implementation Planning Intervention on Firefighters' Cardiorespiratory Fitness. J Strength Cond Res 33(11): 3151–3161, 2019—The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a goal setting and implementation planning (GSIP) intervention on cardiorespiratory fitness among firefighters. Male career firefighters (N = 20) from a large municipal fire department were assigned to an intervention arm (n = 12) or passive control arm (n = 8) of a 14-week study involving cardiorespiratory exercise. The intervention consisted of GSIP coaching at baseline and support throughout the study. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed through a standardized physical protocol for firefighters (Candidate Physical Ability Test) at baseline, at 6 weeks, and at 14 weeks time points, using the Cosmed K4b2 portable metabolic system to measure physiological variables. Using intention-to-treat principles, we employed a 2-level multilevel model to examine the effect of intervention group on intercept and change over time on primary outcomes of interest: oxygen transport and utilization (Vo
2), heart rate (HR), and respiratory exchange ratio (R). Results demonstrated that the intervention and control groups both exhibited a significant increase in Vo
2 (B = 0.143, SE = 0.025, p < 0.001) and a decline in R (B = −0.003. SE = 0.001, p < 0.01) over the course of the study. Although both groups exhibited improvements on 2 of the 3 cardiorespiratory outcomes, subjects assigned to the intervention did not exhibit superior outcomes when compared to the control group. Given the improvements we observed in 2 out of 3 outcomes across both conditions, future research may consider testing effectiveness of interventions consisting of functional training exercises that closely translate to firefighting tasks over time periods sufficient to elicit aerobic metabolic adaptations.

Published: June 2018

A stone column typically consists of particles whose influence has largely been overlooked in design practice in terms of stress transfer, pattern of deformation, and intrusion of fines (clogging). This article presents an experimental study on the load-deformation behavior of a model stone column installed in soft clay with a particular emphasis on the influence of particle gradation and shape under undrained loading. The results show that particle gradation and shape have a significant influence on the load-deformation behavior and the extent of fines intrusion into the stone columns. Relatively well-graded particle sizes favor the development of higher peak shear stresses accompanied by lateral bulging, whereas more uniform grading results in the development of distinct shear planes and smaller peak shear stresses. Deformed columns were also examined using computed tomography, and the porosity profiles at the end of the test were determined using micrographs. Maximum porosity typically occurred in the zone of extreme lateral deformation, with the results suggesting that the extent of fines intrusion was influenced by particle morphology.

Published: June 2018

After exposure to fire or high temperatures, the post-fire curing methods have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of concrete material. In present research, the influence of post-fire curing methods on the mechanical properties of fire-damaged ultra-high toughness cementitious composites (UHTCC) was investigated. A heating temperature up to 800°C, lasting for 2 hours, was adopted to simulate the fire damage, after which the heated specimens were subjected to three types of cooling regimes (i.e., cooling in air, quenching in water for 5 minutes, and quenching in water for 30 minutes). The quenched specimens were then cured in air for 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, and 28 days. It was found that quenching in water helped the recovery of the compressive properties of UHTCC, and the extent of recovery increased with the quenching time as well as the post-exposure curing age. The microstructural characterization of UHTCC was also examined before and after exposure using scanning electron microscopy. The pore size distribution was obtained by the mercury intrusion porosimetry analysis. Results from the microscopic observations well explained the mechanical properties of post-exposure UHTCC specimens.
TRIBOLOGY OF PEKMEZ (GRAPE MOLASSES)-TAHİN (SESAME PASTE) MIXTURES

Published: June 2018

A new field of texture analysis
called “tribology” or “thin film rheology” that might explain the food texture
throughout oral processing has become important. In this study, tribological
experiments for samples containing pekmez and tahin at 30:70, 40:60 and 50:50
(w/w) were conducted by using a modified pin-on-disk tribometer. In the
Stribeck curves hydrodynamic and boundary regions were determined. For the
mixture containing pekmez:tahin at 50:50, hydrodynamic region started at a
lower speed compared to other samples, which indicated a developing a thin
lubrication film between contact surfaces. The friction decreased with the oil
content of the sample. This was more profound in the lower speed region for all
samples. Tribological data provided more distinct evaluation compared to the
viscosity data which were close to each other due to similar composition of
samples. Further research are needed on tribological properties of foods, their
relation to rheology and sensory analysis.

Recent advances in high throughput sequencing have transformed the study of wild organisms by facilitating the generation of high quality genome assemblies and dense genetic marker datasets. These resources have the potential to significantly advance our understanding of diverse phenomena at the level of species, populations and individuals, ranging from patterns of synteny through rates of linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay and population structure to individual inbreeding. Consequently, we used PacBio sequencing to refine an existing Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) genome assembly and genotyped 83 individuals from six populations using restriction site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing. The resulting hybrid genome comprised 6,169 scaffolds with an N50 of 6.21 Mb and provided clear evidence for the conservation of large chromosomal segments between the fur seal and dog (Canis lupus familiaris). Focusing on the most extensively sampled population of South Georgia, we found that LD decayed rapidly, reaching the background level by around 400 kb, consistent with other vertebrates but at odds with the notion that fur seals experienced a strong historical bottleneck. We also found evidence for population structuring, with four main Antarctic island groups being resolved. Finally, appreciable variance in individual inbreeding could be detected, reflecting the strong polygyny and site fidelity of the species. Overall, our study contributes important resources for future genomic studies of fur seals and other pinnipeds while also providing a clear example of how high throughput sequencing can generate diverse biological insights at multiple levels of organization.
Genetic Analysis of Signal Generation by the Rgt2 Glucose Sensor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Authors: Scharff-Poulsen Peter , Moriya Hisao , Johnston Mark
Published: June 2018

The yeast S. cerevisiae senses glucose through Snf3 and Rgt2, transmembrane proteins that generate an intracellular signal in response to glucose that leads to inhibition of the Rgt1 transcriptional repressor and consequently to derepression of HXT genes encoding glucose transporters. Snf3 and Rgt2 are thought to be glucose receptors because they are similar to glucose transporters. In contrast to glucose transporters, they have unusually long C-terminal tails that bind to Mth1 and Std1, paralogous proteins that regulate function of the Rgt1 transcription factor. We show that the C-terminal tail of Rgt2 is not responsible for its inability to transport glucose. To gain insight into how the glucose sensors generate an intracellular signal, we identified RGT2 mutations that cause constitutive signal generation. Most of the mutations alter evolutionarily-conserved amino acids in the transmembrane spanning regions of Rgt2 that are predicted to be involved in maintaining an outward-facing conformation or to be in the substrate binding site. Our analysis of these mutations suggests they cause Rgt2 to adopt inward-facing or occluded conformations that generate the glucose signal. These results support the idea that Rgt2 and Snf3 are glucose receptors that signal in response to binding of extracellular glucose and inform the basis of their signaling.

Published: June 2018

CONTEXT:

Limited data exist regarding uropathogen resistance in randomized controlled trials of urinary tract infection (UTI) prevention and antibiotic prophylaxis.

OBJECTIVE:

To assess the effect of prophylaxis on developing a multidrug-resistant first recurrent UTI among children with vesicoureteral reflux.

DATA SOURCES:

Cochrane Kidney and Transplant Specialized Register through May 25, 2017.

STUDY SELECTION:

Randomized controlled trials of patients ≤18 years of age with a history of vesicoureteral reflux being treated with continuous antibiotic prophylaxis compared with no treatment or placebo with available antibiotic sensitivity profiles.

DATA EXTRACTION:

Two independent observers abstracted data and assessed quality and validity per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Adjusted meta-analyses were performed by using a mixed-effects logistic regression model.

RESULTS:

One thousand two hundred and ninety-nine patients contributed 224 UTIs. Patients treated with prophylaxis were more likely to have a multidrug-resistant infection (33% vs 6%, P < .001) and were more likely to receive broad-spectrum antibiotics (68% vs 49%, P = .004). Those receiving prophylaxis had 6.4 times the odds (95% confidence interval: 2.7–15.6) of developing a multidrug-resistant infection. One multidrug-resistant infection would develop for every 21 reflux patients treated with prophylaxis.

LIMITATIONS:

Variables that may contribute to resistance such as medication adherence and antibiotic exposure for other illnesses could not be evaluated.

CONCLUSIONS:

Prophylaxis increases the risk of multidrug resistance among recurrent infections. This has important implications in the risk-benefit assessment of prophylaxis as a management strategy and in the selection of empirical treatment of breakthrough infections in prophylaxis patients.

Published: June 2018

Evaluar la diversidad de arañas es necesario para la conservación de la naturaleza ya que cumplen un rol importante en los ecosistemas como reguladoras de las poblaciones de insectos y son buenas indicadoras de calidad ambiental. La reserva contemplada en este estudio es singular dentro de la llanura del Espinal debido a sus afloramientos rocosos, que contienen una gran diversidad de especies, varias de ellas de carácter endémico. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron crear un inventario, describir la diversidad taxonómica y funcional del orden Araneae en bosques y pastizales en función de las estaciones climáticas. Los muestreos se realizaron mediante tamizado de hojarasca, golpeteo de follaje, aspirado de pastizal y captura directa nocturna. Para cada ambiente se calcularon índices de diversidad alfa y beta temporal y se probó el modelo de distribución de abundancia. Se identificaron 224 especies/morfoespecies. Theridiidae fue la familia con mayor riqueza y el gremio Constructoras de Telas Orbiculares el más abundante. Los índices de diversidad, dominancia y equidad mostraron diferencias significativas entre las estaciones cálidas y frías para bosques y pastizales, la distribución de abundancia de las especies se ajustó al modelo de distribución log-normal y la similitud de especies entre estaciones no superó el 41 %. Los resultados de este estudio aportan datos preliminares sobre los patrones estacionales de la comunidad de Araneae. Se reportan nuevas especies de arañas para Argentina, muchas ellas con registros escasos y aislados en Sudamérica, así como especies de importancia ecológica.

La musique, la structure et l’inactualité dans le Journal de galère d’Imre Kertész
Authors: De Montety Henri
Published: June 2018

La lecture du journal intime d’Imre Kertész (Journal de galère), éclaire à plus d’un titre son oeuvre romanesque, notamment la trilogie auto-fictionnelle qui l’a rendu célèbre (Être sans destin, Le refus, Kaddisch pour un enfant qui ne naîtra pas). Il y conceptualise notamment ce qu’il désigne comme étant la «narration atonale», propre à la description d’une vie humaine qui n’est plus celle d’un sujet, ni même celle d’un objet, mais uniquement celle d’un élément d’une structure. La notion de structure, selon Kertész, rapproche l’écriture romanesque (la sienne) et la composition musicale atonale. C’est aussi la structure qui fixe une autre trilogie, sous-jacente et très intime, celle du père, de l’internat et d’Auschwitz. Et ainsi, seule sans doute la musique a pu ramener Kertész à lui-même, la musique allemande.
Playing the wrong game again? Policy responses to problematic video gaming in Brazil
Authors: Spritzer Daniel Tornaim , Kessler Felix Henrique Paim
Published: June 2018

Brazil is the leading game market in South America and the second leading market in Latin America. Worldwide, Brazil ranks fourth in number of gamers, with nearly 66.3 million gamers. In the last years, there has been a significant and progressive concern about the negative consequences of video gaming overuse, but no population-based study has estimated the prevalence of problematic gaming in Brazil. There is also no public policy aimed at reducing risk and harm of problematic gaming. Drawing a parallel between gaming and alcohol policies, we discuss some alternatives to address this challenging situation.

Stock market under the 2016 Brazilian presidential impeachment: a test in the semi-strong form of the efficient market hypothesis,
Authors: Batista Alexandre Ricardo de Aragão , Maia Uxi , Romero Alécio
Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT This article aims at contributing to study the stock market’s reaction up to the point of generating significant abnormal returns or cumulative abnormal returns within the Brazilian impeachment period. By means of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH), in its semi-strong form, the purpose was verifying whether the presidential impeachment that took place in Brazil in 2016, in 3 different dates, brought the expected reaction from the stock market on the Brazilian Stocks, Commodities and Futures Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA). The theme is relevant, as it addresses aspects of politics and economic theory and their interactions in stock markets. It impacts in the area of capital markets, because this suggests that economic players can, through their expectations and information, see adverse reactions in the market. The methodology analytically employed encompasses a brief literature review as a theoretical basis about the institutions involved and it refers historically to impeachment events. Quantitatively, the methodology consists in the study of events, so that the expectations are observed by means of time-series regression models based on the autoregressive-moving-average (ARMA) models. The result found, under three major events that culminated in the 2016 Brazilian presidential impeachment, was that no significant statistics has been determined, at a 5% level, in all estimated windows and in all events. Statistically, it was not possible to reject the hypothesis that the abnormal returns and the cumulative abnormal returns equal zero. So, the markets have been considered to be well-informed regarding the events, in this specific situation, i.e. according to the EMH, in its semi-strong form, the markets have reacted as expected.
The importance of histopathology in the diagnosis of isolated renal sarcoidosis: a case report
Authors: Trindade Filho João Onofre , Amaro Kaline Daniele de Souza , Oliveira Allana Desirée Teixeira de , Gomes Cecília Neta Alves Pegado , Costa Hermann Ferreira , Trajano Vinicius Nogueira
Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in several organs; renal impairment alone is a rare condition. When it affects the kidneys, the most prevalent manifestations are hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria. This paper aims to address the topic of renal sarcoidosis, by means of a case report, and reinstate the importance of histopathology in its diagnosis. Methods: The data came from an observational clinical study with a qualitative approach, through an interview with the renal sarcoidosis patient and data from her medical records. Case report: Patient D.M.S., 50 years old, Caucasian, presented with reddish eyes and body pains lasting for fifteen days as first manifestations of the disease. Upon kidney ultrasound scan, we found renal parenchymal nephropathy. Serial renal function and metabolic tests reported anemia and progressive urea and creatinine changes, as well as hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria, confirming acute kidney failure (AKF). A histopathological examination suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed by clinical, laboratory and histopathological data. There was therapeutic resolution after steroid therapy. Discussion: The symptomatology of sarcoidosis is diverse and often non-specific. Renal manifestation, which usually occurs after organ involvement, is present in less than 5% of patients, and about 1% to 2% of these patients may develop AKF. Conclusions: The use of histopathology together with clinical and laboratory data to diagnose isolated renal sarcoidosis, rule out other etiologies and introduce early treatment is of paramount importance.

The Calcium-Dependent Protease Calpain-1 Links TRPC6 Activity to Podocyte Injury
Authors: Verheijden Kim A.T. , Sonneveld Ramon , Bakker-van Bebber Marinka , Wetzels Jack F.M. , van der Vlag Johan , Nijenhuis Tom
Published: June 2018

Background

The hallmark of podocytopathies, such as FSGS, is podocyte injury resulting in proteinuria. Transient receptor potential channel C6 (TRPC6) is a calcium-conducting ion channel expressed at the slit diaphragm. TRPC6 gain-of-function mutations and glomerular TRPC6 overexpression are associated with proteinuria. However, the pathways linking TRPC6 to podocyte injury, which is characterized by loss of the slit diaphragm protein nephrin, activation of several intracellular pathways (including calcineurin-NFAT signaling), and cytoskeletal rearrangement, remain elusive.

Methods

We tested whether the calcium-dependent protease calpain-1 mediates TRPC6-dependent podocyte injury in human and experimental FSGS and cultured podocytes.

Results

Compared with kidneys of healthy controls, kidneys of patients with FSGS had increased TRPC6 expression, increased calpain and calcineurin activity, and reduced expression of the calpain target Talin-1, which links the actin cytoskeleton to integrins and is critical for podocyte cytoskeletal stability. In a rat model of human FSGS, increased glomerular and urinary calpain activity associated with reduced Talin-1 abundance, enhanced calcineurin activity, and increased proteinuria. Treatment with the calpain inhibitor calpeptin prevented these effects. In cultured podocytes, pharmacologic stimulation of TRPC6-dependent calcium influx increased calpain-1 and calcineurin activity and reduced Talin-1 expression, and knockdown of TRPC6 or calpain-1 prevented these effects.

Conclusions

We elucidated a novel mechanism that links TRPC6 activity to calpain-1 activation and through Talin-1 loss and possibly, calcineurin activation, the podocyte injury characterizing FSGS. Therefore, calpain-1 and/or TRPC6 inhibition could be future therapeutic options to treat patients with FSGS or other podocytopathies.

tarafından önceden parazitlenmiş yumurtalarda
multiparazitizm oranı hem T.
semistriatus hem de T. simoni için önemli
oranda düşük bulunmuştur ve bu oranlar ilk parazitlenmeden geçen süre ile birlikte
azalmıştır, oysa tercihsiz denemelerde multiparazitizm oranı tercihli denemelerdekine göre daha yüksek
gerçekleşmiştir. Multiparazitlenmiş yumurtalardan ergin çıkışı daima ikinci
türe göre birinci tür için daha fazla olmuştur. Ergin rekabeti denemelerinin
sonucu, T. semistriatus dişisinin T. simoni’ye göre daha
üstün rakip olduğu saptanmıştır.

El movimiento-tiempo real y el movimiento-tiempo animado
Authors: Fernández Alicia
Published: June 2018

Animated movement has its own peculiarities, which differentiates itself from real movement. Being animation and performing arts two kinds of artistic expressions that are based on the creation of a work from the movement, we wonder whether the differences between these two kinds of movement propitiate that animated movement is not really a movement as such. This hypothesis is given by peculiarities in the creation of animated movement, as it could be that this would be created from static images or the necessity of being reproduced in audiovisual format. Thus, we analyze characteristics of movement in performing arts and animation through ideas about movement and time of certain thinkers to reach a conclusion on the question proposed.
El problema de la verdad en los fakes mediáticos activistas.
Authors: Fraj Herranz Elena Gabriela
Published: June 2018

Activist fakes are actions that hack dominant mass media. In order to create hoaxes, tactics as simulation of visual codes, identity theft, rhetorical and ironic language are used. The result is a paradox because by deceiving truth is revealed. However, what’s the meaning of truth in this context? With the aim of figure out this issue we consider two cases study, The Yes Men (2009) and Ikastrolla (2013). They are symptomatic of such interventions because they present the main features in common. Whit the goal of do an analysis, a research methodology is designed on the basis of culture analyse and grounded theory tools. We choose concepts coming from other areas to sketch a theory whenever the research moves forward. Truth and power and the relationship between them are the chosen concepts as of Michel Foucault contributions. As key findings of the analysis we have found that deceptions do not have a dialectical relationship between truth and falsity where truth is objectified pre-existing and its representation. Instead they provide visual and discursive complexity with which expose the mechanisms that articulate the truth written in the dominant discourses of power

Authors: Onuoha Chibuzor Uchenna
Published: June 2018

The present study, which was designed as a cross-sectional research investigated the role of personal attributes (age, education, job position, organizational tenure) and the perceived glass ceiling on organizational commitment of senior level female employees in public sector organizations. One hundred and fifty-two female workers with a mean age of 36.6 (s.d. = 9.03) were conveniently sampled from eight public sector organizations in southwest Nigeria. Job position was categorized into three: supervisor (33.6%), middle management (51.3%) and senior management (15.1%). Their educational status ranged from national diploma to post-graduate certificates. Each respondent completed a questionnaire that contained standardized scales that measured perceived glass ceiling, organizational commitment, age, education, job position and organizational tenure. Results showed significant joint influence of age, education, job position, organizational tenure and perceived glass ceiling on organizational commitment. Perceived glass ceiling and age contributed most to organizational commitment. It was concluded that personal attributes influenced organizational commitment but perceived glass ceiling and age contributed significantly to organizational commitment.
Modelling the Components of Metacognitive Awareness
Authors: Kallio Heli , Virta Kalle , Kallio Manne
Published: June 2018

Metacognitive awareness consists of two components, i.e. regulation of cognition and knowledge of cognition. In earlier studies self-evaluation is aligned as a sub-component of regulation of cognition. However, in this study we point out that self-evaluation does not actually regulate the ongoing or forthcoming process but it is a tool used to reflect both knowledge and regulation. This alignment is modelled to assess to what extend self-evaluation can be predicted by the other components of the metacognitive awareness. The model is tested empirically among vocational education students (N= 578) using the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI). The results of SEM concludes that the conditions and goals appointed by the learner predict the selection of contents and strategies towards self-evaluation of one’s own learning. In other words, by measuring planning or conditional knowledge we could predict other components of knowledge or regulation and, especially, self-evaluation. The findings of this study extensively confirm that planning and knowledge of conditions predict success through the learning process. The results encourage teachers to support students in improving their metacognitive awareness, i.e. expect them to set goals for their own learning.
Forgiveness or Striking Back? The Influence of Social Interaction on Adolescents' Conflict Coping Strategy
Authors: Yao Zhuojun , Enright Robert
Published: June 2018

Based on social learning theory, this study aimed at providing a better understanding of the influence of social interaction on adolescents' conflict coping strategy. This study used the data from the Taiwan Educational Panel Survey (N=8717) to test the unique contribution of religious involvement, parent-child interaction, teacher-student interaction on adolescents' conflict coping strategy when they encountered an interpersonal offense in school. Findings showed that religious involvement, being physically hurt by father, being understood by father, and positive teacher-student interaction could increase the possibility of positive conflict coping strategy. And being verbally hurt by mother and negative teacher-student interaction would decrease the possibility of positive conflict coping strategy. Based on these results, implications for research and practice were discussed.

Authors: Arslan Gökmen
Published: June 2018

Given the literature suggesting the link between school belonging and various outcomes in adolescents, it is substantial to gain a more detailed understanding of the sense of belonging and its effects at school. Despite this literature, its potential impacts on emotional health have remained relatively unexplored. To this end, the present study reports the role of the school belonging in promoting emotional health based on the bidimensional model in high school adolescents. Participants comprised of 413– 49.7% female and 50.3% male– adolescents, ranging in age between 11 and 18 years (M = 13.96, SD = 1.64). Findings from the present study demonstrated that adolescents with high levels of the school belonging have low levels of the emotional distress, yet high levels of the emotional wellbeing. Additionally, significant main effects for emotional wellbeing, emotional distress, and bidimensional emotional health were observed across all school belonging scales. Considering the outcomes of the bidimensional emotional health, the larger effect size for the bidimensional emotional health main effect was found for school belonging, comparing with unidimensional emotional wellbeing and distress.  Results of the study provide important implications for research and practice in term of mental health services in school settings.
A mí No me Daban Besos. Infancia y Educación de la Masculinidad en la Posguerra Española
Authors: Sonlleva Velasco Miriam , Torrego Egido Luis Mariano
Published: June 2018

From the end of the decade of 1930, Spain was subjected to an iron distinction of sexes. The Franco dictatorship created two molds: one for man and one for woman. Education became the potter who, through his teachings, was shaping those gender models. The conversion of the scholar into a man or woman according to their sex and the assumption of the roles, stereotypes and meanings that this appropriation implied was the goal of education in those years. Many studies have explored how postwar girls were turned into self-sacrificing women thanks to the educational influences they received, but there are hardly any researches that try to problematize the role played by the school in the reproduction of the masculinity model promoted by the Regime. The work that we present, parts of the review of the existing literature on masculinity in the Franco regime to enter the knowledge of the male education of those years. The childhood memories of two postwar children and the memories of their experiences will allow us to identify and value the model of masculinity in which they were educated.
