Induction of heat shock protein 70 gene expression in early life stages of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879) (Decapoda, Palaemonidae)
Authors: Polsuwan Aurawan , Damrongphol Praneet
Published: March 2020

Heat shock proteins play an important role in maintaining normal cell function and overcoming stress conditions in organisms. Expression of the heat shock protein 70 gene (hsp70) at different stages of embryos and larvae of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879) was analysed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Expression of hsp70 was first detected in embryos of 5.5 days old; the expression levels gradually increased during the course of embryonic development, reaching their maximum at the stage prior to hatching. Whereas the expression levels were high in newly hatched larvae, they lowered subsequently before increasing to their maximum after 20 days post-hatch. Moreover, induction of hsp70 expression in 5.5 days old embryos and newly hatched larvae by two xenobiotics, 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) and chlorpyrifos (CPF) was also investigated. The results showed that both 4-NP and CPF caused similar patterns of hsp70 expression changes. Embryos exposed to 4-NP or CPF for 24 h increased the hsp70 expression levels with increasing concentrations of 4-NP or CPF. Prolonged exposure for 96 h induced higher levels of responses. The larvae were more sensitive than the embryos to both 4-NP and CPF challenges, by responding to lower concentrations of stressors and producing higher expression levels. The study suggests that hsp70 plays an active role during early life stages of M. rosenbergii, indicating the presence of mechanisms to overcome stress caused by development or by external stressors at these stages.
Northernmost record of the rare brachyuran crab, Paragalene longicrura (Nardo, 1868) (Decapoda, Progeryonidae) from the Istrian Peninsula (Adriatic Sea, Croatia)
Authors: Iveša Neven , Béres Tibor , Török Júlia K.
Published: March 2020

Between 2014 and 2019, four specimens of Paragalene longicrura (Nardo, 1868) were accidentally caught in the Adriatic Sea near Pula (Istrian Peninsula, Croatia). These are the first records of the little known species from the northern Adriatic Sea, as well as the northernmost occurrence over its global distribution. We have collected all documented occurrences from the literature since the description of the crab, resulting in a total number of 85 known specimens. Upon comparing the habitat type and depth distribution of our specimens with the recorded sightings, water temperature, and not depth, appeared to be the major determining factor for vertical distribution. Twenty-nine specimens have been detected in museum inventories, but not included in published articles. Our discoveries increased the number of known Adriatic specimens from 7 to 11. For the first time, we compiled all available carapace measurements to get an impression of the size range of the species.

Origen and “Angelomorphic Pneumatology”
Authors: Lee Justin J.
Published: March 2020

Recent years have seen a growing interest in Patristic “angelomorphic pneumatology”, a phrase used mostly to describe early pre-Nicene portrayals of the Holy Spirit. While not denying the existence of such pneumatologies or their shared theological character as observed by scholars of angelomorphic pneumatology, this article seeks to challenge the appropriateness of term “angelomorphic” in a pneumatological context, particularly against the backdrop of its original Christological usage. This study takes as an example Origen of Alexandria, whose pneumatology is not considered “angelomorphic” by the standards of current definitions, but contains certain undeniable features of this angelomorphic theological tradition.
Latin Emperors and Serbian Queens: Anna and Helena
Authors: Van Tricht Filip
Published: March 2020

Latin Constantinople in the 1240s and 1250s has often been considered a ripe fruit waiting to fall into the hands of one of the competing political entities in the region (Nicaea, Epiros, Bulgaria, etc.). This paper argues, on the contrary, that under Emperor Baldwin II (1240-1273) the Latin Empire remained a dynamic power in the post-1204 Byzantine world. The basis for this re-evaluation is a revisionist study of the genealogical relations between a number of leading families in the region (among others the Villehardouin, Da Verona, and Cayeux), creating networks both within Latin Romania and beyond. One of the main hypotheses advanced is that two Serbian queens – Stefan Nemanja’s third wife Anna (of Hainaut) and Stefan Uroš I’s wife Helena (Angelos/Courtenay) – were in fact what one might call Latin imperial princesses. This in turn leads to a reconsideration of Latin-Serbian relations in the period 1204-1261.
Two multi-stigmate Gomphonema species of Africa: Gomphonema kalahariense (nom. nov., stat. nov.) and Gomphonema chemeron (sp. nov.)

Authors: STONE JEFFERY R. , KOCIOLEK J. PATRICK , WESTOVER KARLYN S.
Published: March 2020

The taxonomy and morphology of two taxa of the diatom genus Gomphonema with multiple stigmata from fossil localities in Africa are considered. Light and scanning electron microscopy as well as quantitative analysis of valve shape suggest two taxa are present in these collections. One of them, previously described as Gomphonema ventricosum var. africana, has 2–4 stigmata and conforms well with the original illustration of this taxon by Reichelt. However, this taxon does not appear to be closely related to G. ventricosum, and is a species in its own right, so a new name, G. kalahariense nom. nov., stat. nov. Jeff.R.Stone & Kociolek is proposed. This species is known from modern and fossil locations in Africa. A second species, Gomphonema chemeron Jeff.R.Stone, Westover & Kociolek sp. nov. is described from diatomite deposits of the Baringo Basin, Kenya, that are approximately 2.6 million years of age. This species, with 3–7 stigmata, has a distinctive shape and is easily distinguished from G. kalahariense. We compare these species with other multi-stigmate members of Gomphonema, including G. krammeri Reichardt, a fossil species described from Mexico and Cuba.

Published: March 2020

Osmanthus (Oleaceae) is considered one of the most confusing genera with regards to circumscription and phylogenetic placement of taxa within the subtribe Oleinae of Oleaceae, with controversies mainly focused on the attribution of section Leiolea. In the present study, we analyzed 71 samples that represent the broad taxonomic, biogeographic, and morphological patterns in the subtribe Oleinae. Based on concatenation of four plastid genes (trnL-F, trnT-L, trnS-G, and matK) and comparison with the ITS region, Bayesian Inference, Maximum Likelihood and Maximum Parsimony phylogenies were inferred. Morphological character traits and geographical distributions of taxa were also studied. These results provide strong support for the segregation of the Leiolea clade (Osmanthus marginatus, O. matsumuranus and O. minor) of sect. Leiolea from Osmanthus. Therefore, the Leiolea clade is instated as the new genus Chengiodendron, with a taxonomic treatment provided. This study provides a clearer understanding of the phylogenetic relationships of genera in the subtribe Oleinae.
Revisited morphology applied for Systematics of flat wasps (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae)
Authors: LANES GEANE O. , KAWADA RICARDO , AZEVEDO CELSO O. , BROTHERS DENIS J.
Published: March 2020

The world fauna of the flat wasps (Bethylidae) is represented by about 3,000 valid species. The skeletal morphology of bethylids is still not adequately understood and the terminology is generally not standardized between its internal taxa and with other Hymenoptera families. The same scenario exists in most of the families in this order. To address this problem, we describe the external skeletal morphology of Bethylidae. We review the terms used to describe skeletal features in the Hymenoptera in general and a consensus terminology is proposed for Bethylidae, which is linked to the online Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology. The morphology of the studied specimens is illustrated with photos and line drawings. We also discuss the morphological variation at both subfamilial and generic ranks. Our analyses challenge hundreds of inappropriate, confused or imprecise terms traditionally used for Hymenoptera morphology. As a result, we have applied hundreds of updates of the terminology available online at the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology.

Published: March 2020

This paper presents a super-twisting sliding mode control method for the formation maneuvers of multiple robots. In the real world of applications, the robots suffer from many uncertainties and disturbances that trouble the super-twisting sliding mode formation maneuvers very much. Especially, this issue has the adverse effects on the formation performance when the uncertainties and disturbances have an unknown bound. This paper focuses on this issue and utilizes the technique of disturbance observer to meet this challenge. In terms of the leader–follower framework, this paper investigates the integration of the super-twisting sliding mode control method and the disturbance observer technique. This kind of formation design has the guaranteed closed-loop stability in the sense of Lyapunov. Some simulations are implemented through a multi-robot platform. The results demonstrate that the superiority of the formation design regardless of uncertainties and disturbances.
When Does Corporate Social Irresponsibility Become News? Evidence from More Than 1,000 Brand Transgressions Across Five Countries
Authors: Stäbler Samuel , Fischer Marc
Published: March 2020

Companies are increasingly held accountable for their corporate social irresponsibility (CSI). However, the extent to which a CSI event damages the firm largely depends on the coverage of this event in high-reach news media. Using the theory of news value developed in communications research, the authors explain the amount of media coverage by introducing a set of variables related to the event, the involved brand, and media outlet. The authors analyze a sample of 1,054 CSI events that were reported in 77 leading media outlets in five countries in the period 2008–2014. Estimation results reveal many drivers. For example, the number of media covering the story may be 39% higher for salient and strong brands. 80% more media report the event if a foreign brand is involved in a domestic CSI event. When a brand advertises heavily or exclusively in a news medium, this reduces the likelihood of the news medium to cover negative stories about the brand. The average financial loss at the U.S. stock market due to a CSI event amounts to US$321 million. However, the market reacts to the event only if 4 or more U.S. high-reach media outlets report on the event.
The Physicality of Music Production: Investigating the Roles of Mindful Practice and Kinesthetic Learning
Authors: Lam Megan
Published: March 2020

Music production and muscle movement are so interconnected that to begin the process of creating music, it is essential to consider the physicality behind the auditory perceptions. Playing-related injuries can arise from improper practice and failure to understand the physical movements underlying the music, and students and professional musicians alike can struggle with the failure of automatic muscle memory, particularly during a performance. This article outlines approaches to not only harnessing various aspects of kinesthetic learning for more effective playing but also to remaining attentive and actively in control of bodily movements during music-making. Encouraging students to maintain an awareness of their bodies and movements can be key to developing a healthier and more effective use of muscular systems in the production of music.
Exposure to Analogous Harmdoing Increases Acknowledgment of Ingroup Transgressions in Intergroup Conflicts
Authors: Shulman Deborah , Halperin Eran , Kessler Thomas , Schori-Eyal Noa , Reifen Tagar Michal
Published: March 2020

A major barrier to the resolution of intergroup conflicts is the reluctance to acknowledge transgressions committed by one’s ingroup toward the outgroup. Existing research demonstrates that individuals are generally motivated to justify ingroup conduct and avoid experiencing guilt and shame about ingroup harmdoing. The current work explores the use of an analogy-based intervention to attenuate motivated reasoning in evaluations of ingroup harmdoing. Overall, across six studies, we find support for our hypothesis that considering a case of harmdoing in a removed context increases acknowledgment of an analogous case of ingroup harmdoing. We further explore why, and under what conditions, the analogy is effective in leading to increased acknowledgment of an ingroup transgression. We find that the effect of the analogy is mediated by the endorsement of moral principles specific to the domain of the transgression, suggesting that the mechanism involves a cognitive process of analogical reasoning.
Ethnic-racial discrimination experiences and ethnic-racial identity predict adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment: Evidence for a compensatory risk-resilience model

Published: March 2020

Theory and empirical evidence indicate that ethnic-racial discrimination serves as a risk factor for adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment, whereas ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development promotes positive youth adjustment and can mitigate the negative outcomes of discrimination-related risk. In Colombia, the legacies of an ethnic-racial hierarchy, mestizaje ideology (i.e., the assumption that everyone is racially mixed), and contemporary multiculturalism education reforms create a unique context for understanding adolescents’ experiences of ethnic-racial discrimination, ERI development, and their implications for psychosocial adjustment. In this study of Colombian adolescents ( N = 462; Mage = 15.90 years; 47.3% female), almost 40% of participants reported experiencing ethnic-racial-based discrimination. Experiencing more frequent ethnic-racial discrimination was associated with lower self-esteem and higher depressive symptoms, whereas higher ERI resolution (i.e., gaining sense of clarity about ethnic-racial group membership) and affirmation (i.e., feeling positively about ethnic-racial group membership) were associated with higher self-esteem and lower depressive symptoms. ERI exploration (i.e., learning history and gaining knowledge about ethnic-racial group membership) was also associated with higher self-esteem and moderated the association between discrimination and depressive symptoms, such that this association was stronger at higher compared to lower levels of ERI exploration. Findings provide novel evidence for ethnic-racial-related risk and resilience processes among Colombian youth.
Asymmetrical Switch Costs in Spatial Reference Frames Switching
Authors: Lv Ming , Hu Siyuan
Published: March 2020

Previous studies found that the egocentric and allocentric reference frames are distinct in their functions, developmental trajectory, and neural basis. However, these two spatial reference frames exist in parallel, and people switch between them frequently in their daily lives. Using an allocentric and egocentric switching task, this study explored the cognitive processes involved in the switch between egocentric and allocentric reference frames and the possible asymmetry of switch costs. Sixty-two participants were tested in congruent (i.e., the target was on the same side in two reference frames) and incongruent conditions (i.e., the target was on a different side in two reference frames). The results indicated that the interaction between allocentric and egocentric reference frames was bidirectional and that the congruency effect was higher in the egocentric task than in the allocentric task. More important, the switch costs between allocentric and egocentric reference frames were found in both conditions, and the switch cost was higher for allocentric task. To our knowledge, this was the first study to focus on how switch costs and asymmetrical switch costs occur in allocentric and egocentric task switching.
Music major, affects, and positive music listening experience
Authors: Chang Joanne , Lin Peter , Hoffman Edward
Published: March 2020

The use of music in mood regulation has gained increasing attention in recent years. In this study, 199 college students (70 music majors, 126 non-music majors; 101 males, 94 females) responded to two measures: the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) and a 15-item Positive Music Listening Experience Scale we developed (Cronbach’s alpha = .90). It comprised 1 item on frequency of deliberate listening to music and 14 items concerning the effects of such listening on coping, solitude, and contemplative experience, comprising three subscales, respectively. Music majors scored significantly higher than non-music majors on overall Positive Music Listening Experience, as well as significantly higher in positive affect and lower in negative affect than non-music majors. Music majors scored significantly higher than non-music majors on the contemplation subscale; there were no significant differences on the coping and solitude subscales. In addition, the overall Positive Music Listening Experience score was linked significantly with positive affect and self-reported emotional intensity after the demographics were controlled. Contrary to our expectation, negative affect was not a significant predictor and was unrelated to all items of positive music listening experience. In contrast, positive affect was associated significantly with most items relating to positive music listening experience, particularly contemplative subscales items. We discuss the implications of these findings for better understanding the role of affect in influencing the effects of deliberate music listening.
Thermo-mechanical analysis and optimization of functionally graded rotating disks
Authors: Abdalla Hassan Mohamed Abdelalim , Casagrande Daniele , Moro Luciano
Published: March 2020

The behavior of thermo-mechanical stresses in functionally graded axisymmetric rotating hollow disks with variable thickness is analyzed. The material is assumed to be functionally graded in the radial direction. First, a two-dimensional axisymmetric model of the functionally graded rotating disk is developed using the finite element method. Exact solutions for stresses are then obtained assuming that the plane theory of elasticity holds. These solutions are in accordance with finite element ones, thus showing the validity of the assumption. Finally, in order to reduce the maximum equivalent stress along the radius, the optimization of the material distribution is addressed. To avoid subsequent finite element simulations in the optimization process, which can be computationally demanding, a nonlinear constrained optimization problem is proposed, for which the solution is obtained numerically by the sequential quadratic programming method, showing prominent results in terms of equivalent stress uniformity.
Enhanced pre-ictal cortical responsivity in migraine patients assessed by visual chirp stimulation
Authors: Perenboom Matthijs JL , van de Ruit Mark , Zielman Ronald , van den Maagdenberg Arn MJM , Ferrari Michel D , Carpay Johannes A , Tolner Else A
Published: March 2020

Background

Migraine is associated with altered sensory processing and cortical responsivity that may contribute to susceptibility to attacks by changing brain network excitability dynamics. To gain better insight into cortical responsivity changes in migraine we subjected patients to a short series of light inputs over a broad frequency range (“chirp” stimulation), designed to uncover dynamic features of visual cortex responsivity.

Methods

EEG responses to visual chirp stimulation (10–40 Hz) were measured in controls (n = 24) and patients with migraine with aura (n = 19) or migraine without aura (n = 20). Average EEG responses were assessed at (i) all EEG frequencies between 5 and 125 Hz, (ii) stimulation frequencies, and (iii) harmonic frequencies. We compared average responses in a low (10–18 Hz), medium (19–26 Hz) and high (27–40 Hz) frequency band.

Results

Responses to chirp stimulation were similar in controls and migraine subtypes. Eight measurements (n = 3 migraine with aura; n = 5 without aura) were assigned as “pre-ictal”, based on reported headache within 48 hours after investigation. Pre-ictally, an increased harmonic response to 22–32 Hz stimulation (beta band) was observed ( p = 0.001), compared to interictal state measurements.

Conclusions

We found chirp responses to be enhanced in the 48 hours prior to migraine headache onset. Visual chirp stimulation proved a simple and reliable technique with potential to detect changes in cortical responsivity associated with the onset of migraine attacks.
Superior Capsule Reconstruction for Irreparable Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: Does It Make Sense? A Systematic Review of Early Clinical Evidence
Authors: Altintas Burak , Scheidt Michael , Kremser Victor , Boykin Robert , Bhatia Sanjeev , Sajadi Kaveh R. , Mair Scott , Millett Peter J.
Published: March 2020

Background:

Treatment of irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) in patients without advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis remains a challenge. Arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) represents a newer method for treatment with increasing popularity and acceptance.

Purpose:

To analyze the clinical evidence surrounding SCR and determine the current clinical outcomes postoperatively.

Study Design:

Systematic review.

Methods:

A systematic review of the literature was performed following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Electronic databases of PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were used for the literature search. The study quality was evaluated according to the Modified Coleman Methodology Score. Studies in English evaluating SCR outcomes were included.

Results:

Seven studies were reviewed, including 352 patients (358 shoulders) treated with arthroscopic SCR with the mean duration of follow-up ranging from 15 to 48 months (range, 12-88 months). Fourteen patients were lost to follow-up, leaving 338 patients (344 shoulders) with clinical outcome data. Graft types included dermal allografts (n = 3 studies), fascia lata autografts (n = 3), or both (n = 1). Most commonly, a double-row technique was utilized for humeral graft fixation. The most common complication included graft tears in 13% of patients, resulting in 15 SCR revisions and 7 reverse shoulder arthroplasties. Postoperatively, improvements in visual analog scale (2.5 to 5.9), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (20 to 56), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (38.0), Subjective Shoulder Value (37.0 to 41.3), and Constant (11.6 to 47.4) scores were observed. Three studies reported respective satisfaction rates of 72.9%, 85.7% and 90%. Increases in external rotation, internal rotation, and abduction with improved strength in external rotation were observed postoperatively. Improvement of pseudoparalysis was also observed in 3 studies. One study reported return to sports in 100% of patients (2 competitively, 24 recreationally) with no adverse outcomes.

Conclusion:

SCR showed good to excellent short-term clinical outcomes with adequate pain relief and functional improvement. The current evidence suggests that the procedure is an alternative for symptomatic patients with irreparable MRCT; however, the included studies were fair to poor in quality, and there were some notable complications. Long-term follow-up will determine the longevity and ultimate role of this new method in the treatment of irreparable MRCT.

Authors: Khoshand Afshin , Khanlari Kimia , Abbasianjahromi Hamidreza , Zoghi Milad
Published: March 2020

Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) has recently received significant attention in the most developing countries, such as Iran. Since CDW generation is unavoidable, so development and implementation of an appropriate CDW management is widely recognized as an essential need. Different alternatives in CDW management have been proposed and implemented currently. In this study, a novel framework was established based on the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process approach in order to assess different CDW management alternatives in Tehran, Iran. Proposed alternatives (including landfilling, recycling, reusing, and reduction) were investigated with respect to 16 different individual criteria. The criteria were divided into four different groups, namely environmental, social, technical, economic. A database in this study was established through a questionnaire survey. The relative significance of alternatives with respect to each criterion was assessed. The obtained results revealed that reduction has the highest and landfilling has the lowest priorities. Furthermore, it was found that economic criteria have the highest and social criteria have the lowest importance among the studied criteria. Also, the proposed framework can be used as a beneficial tool that will assist decision-makers in determining the most suitable CDW management alternatives in the case of different criteria that are completely/partially in conflict.

Published: March 2020

Since the advent of multidetecter computed tomography (CT), radiologist sensitivity in detection of traumatic bowel and mesenteric abnormalities has significantly improved. Although several CT signs have been described to identify intestinal injury, accurate interpretation of these findings can remain challenging. Early detection of bowel and mesenteric injury is important as it alters patient management, disposition, and follow-up. This article reviews the common imaging findings of traumatic small bowel and mesenteric injury.

Published: March 2020

In the research regarding plug-in hybrid electric vehicle energy management strategies, the use of global positioning system and intelligent transportation system information to optimize control strategy will be the future trend, and this is relatively scarce in the existing researches. Therefore, an adaptive energy management strategy of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle based on trip characteristic prediction was investigated in this paper, and the main achievement is to suggest a way to determine the reference state of charge for control strategy using global positioning system or intelligent transportation system information. First, given the historical driving data of a driver by global positioning system, the important location points of the commuting routes were discovered. Second, a Markov trajectory prediction model based on the key points was established to predict and identify the driving routes. As such, the trip characteristics, such as information of mileage and driving cycles, were collected. Then, five typical driving cycles were extracted. According to the trip characteristic information, the optimal battery state of charge consumption regulation of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle was realized using a dynamic programming algorithm. This algorithm was applied to the research of state of charge trajectory planning algorithm. Moreover, an adaptive equivalent consumption minimization strategy based on state of charge planning trajectory was developed. The comparison of different control strategies proved that the developed strategy uses battery power reasonably and reduces fuel consumption of the vehicle.
The influence of different levels of musical fit on the efficiency of audio-visual advertising
Authors: Herget Ann-Kristin , Breves Priska , Schramm Holger
Published: March 2020

Music acts as a prominent element of advertising, but its simple presence does not automatically improve the effects of advertising. The concept of musical fit was developed more than 25 years ago to address the question of how music can be used effectively in advertising. However, existing empirical research on this concept has yielded inconsistent results. Recently, we developed an instrument to determine musical fit systematically in audio-visual advertising (Herget et al., 2018). To test this instrument empirically, we created six advertising stimuli (“commercials” or “ads”) representing six types of musical fit on four levels of musical fit, which varied only in terms of how many advertising reference points (spot narration, product, and/or target group) matched the background music. The findings of our between-subjects laboratory experiment (participants: 178 students, 74% female) reveal that the stimuli at different levels of musical fit differed sharply in terms of the intuitively perceived degree of musical fit (η2 = .33). In addition, increasing the level of musical fit improved advertising efficiency in terms of participants’ attitudes toward the ad (η2 = .12) and product (η2 = .12), as well as their purchase intentions (η2 = .06) and memory performance (η2 = .06). If other researchers were to use the instrument described, which defines and operationalizes musical fit systematically and transparently, results of future empirical studies would be more consistent. The results of the present study indicate that advertisers are well advised to select music to fit the commercial’s reference points as closely as possible, to intensify the music’s efficiency.
A Mobile App to Prevent Depression Among Low-Income Primary Care Patients in the Dominican Republic: Sociocultural Adaptations
Authors: Caplan Susan , Sosa Lovera Angelina , Veloz Comas Esther , Attilus Jonas
Published: March 2020

Introduction: Mental health mobile apps (MHapps) can provide depression treatment to people worldwide who do not have access to care, but few apps are culturally targeted to the population. In this series of studies, we described sociocultural considerations of MHapp development, and we explored participants’ perceptions of acceptability, usability, and cultural relevance of the MHapp. Method: Individual interviews were conducted in three separate primary care sites in the Dominican Republic among convenience samples of staff and patients ( n = 23, 18, and 21, respectively), using mixed methods of data collection. Results: Modifications were made during the iterative design process to reflect user preferences, which included a female gendered voice, the addition of animations, and changes to the psychoeducational content. Discussion: Primary care patients reported strong interest in MHapps due to its convenience, privacy, and affordability. Our findings support the necessity of detailed examination of user preferences to develop culturally congruent MHapp psychoeducation.
Stasis in the Shark Tank: Persuading an Audience of Funders to Act on Behalf of Entrepreneurs
Authors: Tomlinson Elizabeth C.
Published: March 2020

This study investigates the role of stasis, an ancient rhetorical tool with both heuristic and analytic capabilities, in entrepreneurial rhetoric, specifically in pitching and question-and-answer sessions. Drawing from a multiyear sample of Shark Tank pitches, the author found that funders expect entrepreneurs to account for stases of being, quality, quantity, and place. The findings suggest a series of associated questions within each stasis. When these questions are answered unsuccessfully, standstills occur within the funding argument; when they are successfully addressed, the stasis passes, and ventures are more likely to receive funding. The author discusses the implications of this study for entrepreneurship and professional communication.
High-Grade Endometrioid Carcinoma of the Endometrium With a GATA-3-Positive/PAX8-Negative Immunophenotype Metastatic to the Breast: A Potential Diagnostic Pitfall
Authors: Salibay Christine , Fadare Oluwole
Published: March 2020

This report describes clinicopathologic findings from the case of a patient with a breast mass that was ultimately diagnosed as a metastatic high-grade endometrioid carcinoma of endometrial origin. The breast lesion as well as the solid areas of the endometrial lesion displayed a similar immunoprofile: GATA3-positive; synaptophysin positive; negative for mammaglobin, gross cystic disease fluid protein-15, chromogranin, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2/neu; and intact expression of the DNA mismatch repair proteins MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. The breast lesion was negative for PAX-8, whereas the solid areas of the endometrial lesion showed focal weak positivity. A review of the literature on GATA-3 expression in endometrial carcinomas found a reported frequency of expression that ranged from 0% to 13% of cases, typically in a patchy, focal, and generally restricted pattern. However, GATA-3 may be diffusely expressed in high-grade endometrial carcinomas. Since the potential for PAX-8 expression to be lost in high-grade endometrioid carcinomas is well known, a GATA-3-positive/PAX8-negative immunoprofile may be encountered in high-grade endometrioid carcinomas of the endometrium, and this composite immunoprofile is a potential diagnostic pitfall when such a lesion is being evaluated in a breast metastasis.
Endocrine Mucin–Producing Sweat Gland Carcinoma: Two New Eyelid Cases and Review of the Literature
Authors: Nasser Haitham , Siddiqui Sami
Published: March 2020

Endocrine mucin–producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC) is a rare low-grade sweat gland carcinoma. It is clinically often mistaken for basal cell carcinoma and presents a low rate of local recurrence. In this article, we present 2 new cases of EMPSGC arising in a similar location (left lower eyelid) and review the literature on this topic. One patient is a 72-year-old male with complete excision and no evidence of recurrence after 17 months of surveillance. The second patient is a 77-year-old female with incomplete initial excision and local recurrence after 38 months. p63 immunostain was negative in both cases. EMPSGC should be suspected in elderly patients with lesions of eyelids. Histologically, it should be considered and worked up if the lesion is separated from the overlying epidermis and presents a mucinous component. Complete excision is advised to avoid local recurrences.
“The Me I Want You to See”: The Use of Video Game Avatars to Explore Identity in Gifted Adolescents
Authors: Wood Susannah M. , Szymanski Antonia
Published: March 2020

Gifted adolescents may identify as “gamers” who create avatars to navigate video games and cell phone apps. Avatars provide a unique venue through which gifted teens can explore the issues of self and identity in a critical time of their development. The purpose of this article is to (a) provide an overview of what avatars are, (b) explain how avatars can be a venue to explore concepts of identity for gifted students, and (c) suggest how educators can utilize the concept of avatars in their classroom activities. We provide questions that educators can use to facilitate dialogue with their gifted adolescents about avatars and identity.

What Makes a Media Entrepreneur? Factors Influencing Entrepreneurial Intention of Mass Communication Students
Authors: Buschow Christopher , Laugemann Rabea
Published: March 2020

Entrepreneurship and new venture creation are seen as important drivers of media industry’s change and renewal. However, whether newly founded companies will emerge in the future depends to a large extent on entrepreneurial individuals. Through a survey of students from 47 German universities ( N = 720), this study identifies critical factors that explain the entrepreneurial intention of today’s mass communication students, who are likely to be among the future start-up founders in journalism and media industry. Conclusions drawn indicate possibilities for the early identification of potential media entrepreneurs and their ongoing encouragement by journalism and mass communication educators.

Parental Involvement of Parents of Children With ADHD: A First Population Study
Authors: Montes Guillermo , Montes Samantha A.
Published: March 2020

Objective: The purpose of the study was to create a national profile of parental involvement for parents of children with ADHD in the United States. Method: Using the 2016 Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey, parents of children with ADHD ( N = 1,600) were compared with other parents ( N = 11,923) on 32 distinct measures of parental involvement in education. Results: Parents of children with ADHD were more likely to invest more time in communications regarding school and behavior problems, teaching their child time management skills, checking and helping with their homework, whereas they were less likely to engage in athletic sports, attend class or school events, or visit the library. Conclusion: A more systematic approach to encourage and support parental involvement in education for children with ADHD is needed.

Introduction:

The broad aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of using barbed sutures and running closure versus interrupted placement of standard of care sutures for closure of the arthrotomy during total hip arthroplasty (THA). Specifically, we compared duration of arthrotomy closure, the number of sutures utilised for arthrotomy closure, and 90-day outcomes including wound-related readmission, reoperation, and complications.

Methods:

A total of 60 patients undergoing 60 THAs were enrolled in a prospective, single-blinded trial and randomised to receive either running closure of the arthrotomy with barbed sutures ( n = 30) or interrupted closure with standard of care sutures ( n = 30). Patients were eligible if they were undergoing primary THA for osteoarthritis and excluded if they had a BMI > 45 kg/m2 or age > 80 years or <18 years.

Results:

Arthrotomy closure duration was significantly shorter in the barbed suture group (3 minutes ± 9 seconds) versus the standard of care group (8 minutes ± 26 seconds, p < 0.001). The suture utilisation for arthrotomy closure was 1 suture in the barbed sutured group 28/30 (93%) patients versus 2–4 sutures in 27/30 (90%) in the standard of care group ( p < 0.001). The overall number of wound-related complications in the barbed suture group was 1/30 (3%) versus 1/30 (3%) in the standard of care group ( p = 1.00). The rate of suture abscesses was 1/30 (3%) in barbed suture group versus the standard of care ( p = 1.00). There was trochanter bursitis 1/30 (3%) in the standard of care group versus zero in the barbed suture group ( p = 1.00).

Conclusions:

These results suggest that barbed suture utilisation may be faster and more resource efficient than use of standard of care sutures for arthrotomy closure in THA. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03285555
The case for body positivity on social media: Perspectives on current advances and future directions
Authors: Cohen Rachel , Newton-John Toby , Slater Amy
Published: March 2020

In recent years, the body-positive movement has emerged on social media and has generated both support and criticism in pop-cultural discourse. We review the potential benefits and disadvantages of ‘body positivity’ on social media in light of theory and the available research. Based on the early evidence showing potential benefits of engaging with body-positive content on social media for positive body image, a case is made in support of this emerging content. Nevertheless, recommendations are made for future research with an emphasis on experimental and longitudinal investigations of actual health outcomes of engaging with body positivity on social media and clarification of the potential relationship between body positivity and objectification.
Trajectories of emotional and behavioral problems from childhood to early adult life

Little is known about their stability and the factors that influence their persistence or change over the life-course. To address this, we use data from 158 participants from the Special Needs and Autism Project cohort studied at three time-points from 12 to 23 years. We used latent growth models to study the role of child, family, and contextual characteristics on the conduct, emotional, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder domains of the parent-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Symptoms decreased significantly over time for all three domains, but many participants still remained above the published cutoffs for likely disorder on at least one of the three domains. Individual trajectories showed high levels of persistence. Higher initial adaptive function and language levels predicted a greater decline in conduct and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms. In contrast, increased emotional symptoms were predicted by higher language functioning, lower levels of autism symptom severity and higher parental education. Greater neighborhood deprivation was associated with more conduct problems but also a greater decline over time. Our findings highlight that it may be possible to accurately predict mental health trajectories over this time period, which could help parents and carers in planning and help professionals target resources more efficiently.

Lay Abstract

Although mental health problems are common in autism, relatively little is known about their stability and the factors that influence their persistence or change over the life-course. To address this, we use data from the Special Needs and Autism Project (SNAP) cohort studied at three time-points from 12 to 23 years. Using the parent-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) domains of conduct, emotional, and ADHD symptoms, we evaluated the role of child, family, and contextual characteristics on these three trajectories. Symptoms decreased significantly over time for all three domains, but many participants still scored above the published disorder cutoffs. Individuals showed high levels of persistence. Higher initial adaptive function and language levels predicted a greater decline in conduct and ADHD symptoms. In contrast, higher language functioning was associated with higher levels of emotional symptoms, as was lower levels of autism symptom severity and higher parental education. Those with higher neighborhood deprivation had higher initial conduct problems but a steeper decline over time. Our findings highlight that it may be possible to accurately predict mental health trajectories over this time period, which could help parents and carers in planning and help professionals target resources more efficiently.
