Life events and donor lapse in Denmark
Authors: Piersma Tjeerd W.
Published: April 2019

BackgroundThe likelihood of donating blood changes over the life course, with life events shown to influence entry to and exit from the donor population. While these previous findings provide valuable insights for donor management, blood collection agencies need to be cautious about generalizing findings to other countries as blood donor behaviour is context-specific. To examine cross-country variations in donor behaviour, the repeatability of a previous Dutch study on life events and blood donor lapse is examined by using a sample of Danish donors.Study design and methodsRegister data from Statistics Denmark was linked to the Scandinavian Donations and Transfusions database (n = 152,887). Logistic regressions were conducted to examine the association between life events in 2009-2012 and blood donor lapse in 2013-2014.ResultsOf the total sample, 69,079 (45.2%) donors lapsed. Childbirth and losing a job increased the lapsing risk by 11% and 16%, respectively, while health-related events in the family (i.e., blood transfusion, disease and death) decreased the lapsing risk by 5%, 7% and 9%, respectively. ConclusionLife events are associated with donor lapse of Danish donors. These results are comparable to previous findings from the Netherlands (i.e., childbirth and labor market transitions increased lapsing risk; health-related events decreased lapsing risk), with two thirds of the associations being in the same direction. Differences between study results were mainly related to effect sizes and demographic compositions of the donor pools. We argue contextual factors to be of importance in blood donor studies.

CONSTRUCTION RIPPLE PHENOMENON AND THE RISE OF ‘GENERIC BUILDINGS’ IN YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Komposisi Jurnal Arsitektur
Published: April 2019

Starting from the past decade, Indonesia is growing rapidly in the construction of infrastructures that are being fully supported by the government in order to reach the goal of becoming one of the leading countries in the future. Such development created the construction ripple phenomenon that was instigated by the private sector to fill the construction voids left by the rapid development of infrastructure, and it pressurizes cities to grow or change in order to coup with the infrastructure advancements. This phenomenon has affected the cities in Indonesia, even those that are not considered as the planned centers of developments, such as Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta is experiencing the effects of the ripple in the form of the rising number of generic buildings that are spreading fast around the city. This will, in turn, dictate the future of Yogyakarta’s ever-evolving Genius Loci. This research will see how much the construction ripple phenomenon has affected the city of Yogyakarta by conducting surveys on the generic buildings that have been built or in the planning stage of construction. A thorough analysis will be then made, also by conducting literature studies, to conclude the ways and steps to try maintaining Yogyakarta’s unique characteristic as a city in the ever-growing pressure of economic modernization that is currently spreading throughout Indonesia. If these steps are being done correctly, then Yogyakarta can become one of the examples of how cities in Indonesia coup with the construction ripple phenomenon without can losing its unique urban characteristics.

Published: April 2019

Women's studies research on sexuality generally focuses on sexual harassment or workplace romance to the exclusion of strategic forms of erotic capital. We consider women's strategic sexual performances as a form of social influence and address the positive and negative consequences that may follow. This review highlights the occurrence and complexities of erotic capital in Duo Serigala's musical performances and discusses the important implications of use their breast capital to influence others or gain desired ends. In so doing, the findings highlight a need for rethinking traditional conceptualizations of empowerment whereby resistance equals empowering and reproduction equals disempowering, and initiates a new direction for feminist scholarship in this regard.

Authors: Al-Shargie Fares
Published: April 2019

Fusion of Functional Near infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and Electroencephalograph (EEG) is a novel approach. This study aims in improving the detection rate of mental stress using the complementary nature of fNIRS and EEG neuroimaging modality. Simultaneous measurements of fNIRS and EEG signals were conducted on 12 subjects while solving arithmetic problems under two different conditions (control and stress). The stress in this work was based on arithmetic task difficulty, time pressure and negative feedback of individual performance. The study demonstrated significant reduction in the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin (p=0.0032) and alpha rhythm power (p=0.0213) on the PFC under stress condition. Specifically, the right PFC and dorsolateral PFC were highly sensitive to mental stress. Using support vector machine (SVM), the mean detection rate of mental stress was calculated as 91%, 95% and 98% using fNIRS, EEG and fusion of fNIRS and EEG signals respectively.
Fracture Toughness of LixSi Alloys in Lithium Ion Battery
Authors: Yang Hui , Qu Jianmin
Published: April 2019

Fundamental understanding of the fracture toughness of the LixSi alloys is crucial for designing of Si based high-capacity and failure-resistant electrodes. In this study, molecular dynamics simulation informed continuum chemo-mechanical modelings with conservation integrals were conducted to derive fracture toughness of LixSi alloys. Our modeling results show reasonable agreement with available experimental data, revealing that the fracture toughness of LixSi alloys with low lithium concentration does not vary significantly with lithium concentration. In addition, we demonstrated that, if lithium redistribution caused by the stress gradient around crack tip needs to be considered, an appropriate chemo-mechanical path-independent J-integral should be used as the classic Rice's J-integral is path-dependent. The obtained fracture toughness of the LixSi alloys here provides guidance for the rational design of Si based electrodes, and the presented approach also sheds light for the evaluation of the fracture toughness of other energy materials at different charging/discharging levels.

Beyond reach: Do symmetric changes in motor costs affect decision making? A registered report
Authors: Zgonnikov Arkady , Atiya Nadim , O'Hora Denis , Rano Inaki , Wong-Lin KongFatt
Published: April 2019

Executing an important decision can be as easy as moving a mouse cursor or reaching towards the preferred option with a hand. But would we decide differently if choosing required walking a few steps towards an option? More generally, is our preference invariant to the means and motor costs of reporting it? Previous research demonstrated that asymmetric motor costs can nudge the decision-maker towards a less costly option. However, virtually all traditional decision-making theories predict that increasing motor costs symmetrically for all options should not affect choice in any way. This prediction is disputed by the theory of embodied cognition, which suggests that motor behavior is an integral part of cognitive processes, and that motor costs can affect our choices. In this registered report, we investigated whether varying motor costs can affect response dynamics and the final choices in an intertemporal choice task: choosing between a readily available small reward and a larger but delayed reward. Our study compared choices reported by moving a computer mouse cursor towards the preferred option with the choices executed via a more motor costly walking procedure. First, we investigated whether relative values of the intertemporal choice options affect walking trajectories in the same way as they affect mouse cursor dynamics. Second, we tested a hypothesis that, in the walking condition, increased motor costs of a preference reversal would decrease the number of changes-of-mind and therefore increase the proportion of impulsive, smaller-but-sooner choices. We confirmed the hypothesis that walking trajectories reflect covert dynamics of decision making, and rejected the hypothesis that increased motor costs of responding affect decisions in an intertemporal choice task. Overall, this study contributes to the empirical basis enabling the decision-making theories to address the complex interplay between cognitive and motor processes.
Children's understanding of polite requests
Authors: Yoon Erica J. , Frank Michael C.
Published: April 2019

As adults, we use polite speech on a daily basis. What do children understand about polite speech? Looking at children’s polite speech comprehension can help examine children’s pragmatic understanding more generally, and can be informative for caregivers who want to teach children what it means to be polite. Even though children start to produce polite speech from early on, there is little known about whether they understand intentions behind polite language. Here we show that by 3 years, English-speaking preschool children understand that it is more polite and nicer (and less rude and mean) to use politeness markers such as “please” when making requests, and by 4 years, they understand that the use of these politeness markers indicates that the speaker is more socially likeable and is more likely to gain compliance from their conversational partners. This work can help lay the foundation for future work on children’s understanding of polite speech and pragmatic development more generally.
Does Improved Periodontal Health affect Metabolic and Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus? A Comparative Study
Authors: Aryal Shreeya , Pradhan Ameena , Shrestha Surendra Man
Published: April 2019

Background: Periodontal disease is considered as the “sixth complication of diabetes mellitus”. Patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM) are known to have increased susceptibility to infections which lead to poor metabolic control. Although it has been reported that improved metabolic control may lead to improved periodontal health it is still unclear whether the control of periodontal infections may improve the metabolic control of diabetes.

Aim: To compare the effect of periodontal therapy on metabolic and inflammatory markers in diabetic patients.

Materials and Methods: The study type was in vivo comparative study. 60 patients were selected for the study using simple random sampling method. The patients were grouped into control and case with 30 in each group. In all patients, plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were assessed with the help of with The University of North Carolina probe (UNC-15) probe at baseline, 1 month and 3 month. Similarly, venous blood samples were taken for evaluating fasting glucose level, post prandial glucose level, glycated haemoglobin and C-reactive protein (CRP) at baseline, 1 month and 3 month. In treatment group, full mouth scaling and root planing was done and oral hygiene instructions was provided.

Results: The result of the study suggested that non surgical periodontal therapy helps in controlling glycemic level and CRP values in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Conclusion: Non-surgical periodontal treatment is associated with improved glycaemic control and reduction in CRP level in patients with DM.

Published: April 2019

Background: Operator safety during dental & periodontal treatment is a non-negotiable necessity. The production of airborne material, during dental procedures is obvious to the dentist, dental team and the patient.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate, the colony forming units (CFU) generated from aerosol during ultrasonic procedure in gingivitis and periodontitis subjects that act as a potential risk factor for spread of infectious agents for both operator and patients.

Materials and Methods: The present study included 18 subjects which were randomly assigned into 3 equal groups. Group I (Control group) subjects were treated with ultrasonic scaling alone, whereas; Groups II & Group III (Test groups) subjects used pre-procedural mouth-rinses before scaling & root planing (Chlorhexidine and Povidone Iodine). Blood agar plates were used to assess the aerosol contamination and were placed at operator’s eye level, subject’s eye & chest level. These plates were then incubated for 72 hours and microbial growth were quantified as colony forming units (CFU/plate). Different colonies were identified by standard biochemical methods.

Results: This study showed that the antiseptic mouth-rinses significantly reduce the bacterial CFU in the aerosol. Povidone Iodine was found to be superior to Chlorhexidine when used pre-procedurally.

Conclusion: The following conclusion was drawn that the use of pre-procedural rinses significantly reduced the aerosol contamination and hence chances of cross-infection in the dental units.

Published: April 2019

Excessive gingival pigmentation is a major esthetic concern for many people. Though, it is not a medical problem, many people complain of dark gums as unaesthetic. Gingival hyperpigmentation is believed to be a genetic trait in populations and is more appropriately termed physiologic or racial gingival pigmentation; a condition, which affects all races differently. Gingival pigmentation can be removed for esthetic reasons using methods like chemical cauterization, bur abrasion, scalpel surgery, cryosurgery, electrosurgery, gingival grafts and laser techniques. A case is reported here where surgical depigmentation was performed.

Published: April 2019

Localised gingival overgrowth is commonly encountered in our practice. They can be histologically different such as the peripheral giant cell granuloma, giant cell fibroma, pyogenic granuloma or fibroma. A diagnosis based only on the clinical feature is difficult to make because of their similarity in clinical presentation with other gingival overgrowths. Therefore, histopathological examination is mandatory for making an accurate diagnosis that will ultimately help us to treat the underlying disease. This is a case report of Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma, which is a slow progressing and asymptomatic gingival growth until it causes noticeable deformity.

Les indices du développement urbain de Beyrouth (XIVe-XVe siècles)
Authors: Moukarzel Pierre
Published: April 2019

De 1291 à 1516, la ville de Beyrouth était sous domination mamelouke. Elle gouvernait un district composé d'un grand nombre de villages sous l'autorité d'émirs de la famille Buhtur installée, dès le XIIe siècle, dans la région d'al-Gharb, la région montagneuse qui s'étend au sud-est de Beyrouth. Le district administré par Beyrouth était limité au nord par le Nahr al-Kalb ; au sud, par le Nahr ad-Dümür à l'est, par la crête du Liban comprenant les régions d'al-Gharb et d'al-Matn. Beyrouth occupait alors une place importante dans le commerce de la Syrie2, avec un réseau d'échanges commerciaux établi avec les villes du littoral et avec Damas, l'Égypte, Chypre et l'Europe, à l'autre rive de la Méditerranée. Pour Beyrouth, les XIVe et XVe siècles correspondent à une apogée commerciale et à un développement urbain conséquent. Cette période est couverte par une abondance de sources européennes et latines comprenant des données économiques, politiques, juridiques et littéraires sur les rapports entre le Levant et l'Europe. C'est sans compter les nombreuses sources arabes.
Déplacer une ville au temps des Mamelouks: le cas de Tripoli
Authors: Fuess Albercht
Published: April 2019

Il n'existe aucune œuvre d'un historien mamelouk consacrée exclusivement à la ville de Tripoli. Par contre, on trouve d'abondantes informations sur cette ville du temps des Mamelouks dans les œuvres générales des historiographes contemporains, comme Ibn Kathir (mort en 1373), al-Maqrizî (mort en 1442), Ibn Taghrîbirdî (mort en 1470), Ibn Iyâs (mort en 1524) et Ibn Tûlûn (mort en 1546)2. Dans ces écrits, Tripoli occupe une place plus importante que beaucoup de villes syriennes, car la ville représente une des rares fondations mameloukes et avait fonction de capitale provinciale. Partant, de nombreuses recherches scientifiques ont été effectuées sur cette ville, particulièrement par des historiens libanais, comme par exemple 'Umar 'Abd al-Salâm Tadmurî (1981) et Eliyâs al-Qattàr (1998), qui ont livré les grandes lignes de l'histoire sociopolitiques de cette ville et de sa province à cette époque.

غمرت أوروبا في أواخر القرن الثامن عشر وأوائل القرن التاسع عشر موجة من الإنقلابات السياسية والاجتماعية والاقتصادية أخذت تزيل من معالمها آخر معالم العصور الوسطى، وهيأت الجو لظهور حياة سياسية واجتماعية واقتصادية جديدة نشيطة، أبرز معالمها الداخلية القومية والديمقراطية والرأسمالية، والخار جية الامبريالية. ولم تتعد هذه التغييرات في مطلع القرن التاسع عشر حدود أوروبا الغربية، وإن كانت قدمت مشاغير مباشر القسم الشرقي من أوروبا، عن طريق الحروب النابوليونية، والشرق الأوسط عن طريق الحملة الفر نسية على مصر، تعتبر هذه الحملة من أخطر المواضيع في تاريخ الشرق العري الحديث، بل يعتبرها البعض المدخل لهذا الحقيقة منذ الحروب الصليبية لم يحدث تماس بالمستوى ذاته من التأثير التاريخ. وفي والنتائج مثل هذه الحملة. وإذا كائت الحروب الصليبية قد مهدت لظهور النهضة في أوروبا فإن هذه الحملة مهدت أيضا لظهور النهضة الحديثة في الشرق العربي. ولعل من أبرز آثار هذه الحملة كما تظهر فيما كتبه الجبرتي أنها أضعفت الأوهام التي علقت في أذهان المسلمين من الماضى العظيم أيام كان الشرق العربي مركز القوة السياسية والاقتصادية والفكرية، تلك القوة التى أصبحت زمن الحملة كقوة دون كيخوته

Topicality. The problem of anthropogenic impact reducing on atmospheric air is especially relevant to date. Ukraine ranks one of the first places in the world of mortality rate from environmental pollution and one of the main sources of pollution is the operation of coal installations.Most of the equipment of the large power plants of Ukraine is in the pre-critical state, it is morally and physically obsolete. Unsatisfactory condition of environmental technologies and non-compliance with international requirements of the cleaning of atmospheric air emissions from the thermal power plants are the urgent issues of the current international economic and environmental policy of the country.
Aim and tasks are to determine the prospects of introducing and improving the environmental management system at Large Combustion Plants in Ukraine in the context of the National Plan for Reducing Emissions to reduce the environmental risks posed by pollutant emissions from heat power plants and the entry of Ukraine into the international stage in the field of ecology and energy.
Research results. The article examines the main environmental risks caused by the operation of heat energy facilities and international requirements that Ukraine must fulfill in the near future. Also reviewed are the possible risks faced by the objects of heat power in the path of environmentalization.Based on the research, implementation of the ecological management system at Large Combustion Plants of Ukraine in the context of the National Plan for Reducing Emissions is proposed in order to reduce the potential risks of environmentalization and rational use of the resource potential of heat power sector enterprises. The possible ways of introducing the ecological management system and the impact of such modernization of heat power engineering objects on the international status of Ukraine as a country that has joined the international initiatives are determined. An example of a successful introduction of the environmental management system at the heat energy project of Ukraine related to large combustion plants and its compliance with the requirements of the National Plan for Reducing Emissions is given.Conclusions. The introduction of the environmental management system will enable heat energy facilities to rapidly and rationally transition to new technologies, fulfill international requirements and, in turn, reduce to a minimum the risks associated with atmospheric air pollution.

In this work, we studied the evolution of the groove that forms the grain boundary (BG)when it emerges to a free surface, in the presence of different processes of matter transport. The depth of a groove of the BG was obtained in an ice sample with orientation <1010>/50º at -5 ºC for 3h in dry air, by using a confocal microscope. The experimental results are fitted correctly with a process of transport of matter governed mainly by gaseous diffusion.

This paper describes an alternative method to assess atmospheric pollution levels caused by the burning of sugar cane fields during the harvest, affecting visibility in nearby residential areas. The samples of atmospheric dispersed material were taken on glass slides exposed to the environment on different periods of time. The scattered light by these samples is measured using a digital goniometric device that moves a CCD around each sample with 2,0 arc min resolution. Scattering measurements reveals that it is possible to differentiate between the samples of 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours of integration. This method is more sensitive because it integrates through time, even when the concentrations of contaminants are low. Based on Beer-Lambert scattering model, the scattered light on the samples is related to the atmospheric extinction coefficient and the meteorological visibility measured in the same days. A good linear correlation for the different time periods (R2 > 0.94)was obtained. Finally, measured scattering levels were compared to the intraocular scattering ones calculated from CIE equation, obtaining similar values to eyes of 80 years old people

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to describe the development of a novel prognostic score, the Subdural Hematoma in the Elderly (SHE) score. The SHE score is intended to predict 30-day mortality in elderly patients (those > 65 years of age) with an acute, chronic, or mixed-density subdural hematoma (SDH) after minor, or no, prior trauma.

METHODS

The authors used the Prognosis Research Strategy group methods to develop the clinical prediction model. The training data set included patients with acute, chronic, and mixed-density SDH. Based on multivariate analyses from a large data set, in addition to review of the extant literature, 3 components to the score were selected: age, admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, and SDH volume. Patients are given 1 point if they are over 80 years old, 1 point for an admission GCS score of 5–12, 2 points for an admission GCS score of 3–4, and 1 point for SDH volume > 50 ml. The sum of points across all categories determines the SHE score.

RESULTS

The 30-day mortality rate steadily increased as the SHE score increased for all SDH acuities. For patients with an acute SDH, the 30-day mortality rate was 3.2% for SHE score of 0, and the rate increased to 13.1%, 32.7%, 95.7%, and 100% for SHE scores of 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The model was most accurate for acute SDH (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.94), although it still performed well for chronic (AUC = 0.80) and mixed-density (AUC = 0.87) SDH.

CONCLUSIONS

The SHE score is a simple clinical grading scale that accurately stratifies patients’ risk of mortality based on age, admission GCS score, and SDH volume. Use of the SHE score could improve counseling of patients and their families, allow for standardization of clinical treatment protocols, and facilitate clinical research studies in SDH.

OBJECTIVE

The prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS-TN) is higher than in the general population (idiopathic TN [ITN]). Glycerol rhizotomy (GR) is a percutaneous lesioning surgery commonly performed for the treatment of medically refractory TN. While treatment for acute pain relief is excellent, long-term pain relief is poorer. The object of this study was to assess the efficacy of percutaneous retrogasserian GR for the treatment of MS-TN versus ITN.

METHODS

A retrospective chart review was performed, identifying 219 patients who had undergone 401 GR procedures from 1983 to 2018 at a single academic institution. All patients were diagnosed with medically refractory MS-TN (182 procedures) or ITN (219 procedures). The primary outcome measures of interest were immediate pain relief and time to pain recurrence following initial and repeat GR procedures. Secondary outcomes included medication usage and presence of periprocedural hypesthesia.

RESULTS

The initial pain-free response rate was similar between groups (p = 0.726): MS-TN initial GR 89.6%; MS-TN repeat GR 91.9%; ITN initial GR 89.6%; ITN repeat GR 87.0%. The median time to recurrence after initial GR was similar between MS-TN (2.7 ± 1.3 years) and ITN (2.1 ± 0.6 years) patients (p = 0.87). However, there was a statistically significant difference in the time to recurrence after repeat GR between MS-TN (2.3 ± 0.5 years) and ITN patients (1.2 ± 0.2 years; p < 0.05). The presence of periprocedural hypesthesia was highly predictive of pain-free survival (p < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with MS-TN achieve meaningful pain relief following GR, with an efficacy comparable to that following GR in patients with ITN. Initial and subsequent GR procedures are equally efficacious.
