Valuing the impact of health and social care programs using social return on investment analysis: how have academics advanced the methodology? A systematic review
Authors: Hutchinson Claire Louise , Berndt Angela , Forsythe Deborah , Gilbert-Hunt Susan , George Stacey , Ratcliffe Julie
Published: August 2019

Objectives

To identify how social return on investment (SROI) analysis—traditionally used by business consultants—has been interpreted, used and innovated by academics in the health and social care sector and to assess the quality of peer-reviewed SROI studies in this sector.

Design

Systematic review.

Settings

Community and residential settings.

Participants

A wide range of demographic groups and age groups.

Results

The following databases were searched: Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, Econlit, Medline, PsychINFO, Embase, Emerald, Social Care Online and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Limited uptake of SROI methodology by academics was found in the health and social care sector. From 868 papers screened, 8 studies met the criteria for inclusion in this systematic review. Study quality was found to be highly variable, ranging from 38% to 90% based on scores from a purpose-designed quality assessment tool. In general, relatively high consistency and clarity was observed in the reporting of the research question, reasons for using this methodology and justifying the need for the study. However, weaknesses were observed in other areas including justifying stakeholders, reporting sample sizes, undertaking sensitivity analysis and reporting unexpected or negative outcomes. Most papers cited links to additional materials to aid in reporting. There was little evidence that academics had innovated or advanced the methodology beyond that outlined in a much-cited SROI guide.

Conclusion

Academics have thus far been slow to adopt SROI methodology in the evaluation of health and social care interventions, and there is little evidence of innovation and development of the methodology. The word count requirements of peer-reviewed journals may make it difficult for authors to be fully transparent about the details of their studies, potentially impacting the quality of reporting in those studies published in these journals.

Sociodemographic, lifestyle and metabolic predictors of all-cause mortality in a cohort of community-dwelling population: an 18-year follow-up of the North West Adelaide Health Study
Authors: Melaku Yohannes Adama , Gill Tiffany K , Appleton Sarah L , Hill Catherine , Boyd Mark A , Adams Robert J
Published: August 2019

Introduction

Studies examining potential factors of all-cause mortality comprehensively at community level are rare. Using long-term community-based follow-up study, we examined the association of sociodemographic and behavioural characteristics, metabolic and chronic conditions, and medication and health service utilisation with all-cause mortality.

Methods

We followed 4056 participants, aged 18–90 years, for 18 years in the North West Adelaide Health Study (NWAHS). Mortality data were obtained from South Australian (SA) public hospitals and registries including SA births, deaths and marriages, the National Death Index and the NWAHS follow-up. Predictors of all-cause mortality were explored using Cox proportional hazard model, adjusting for potential confounders. We performed subgroup analyses by sex and age.

Results

Mean (SD) age at baseline was 50.4 (16.4) years. Less than half (47.8%) of the participants were men. A total of 64 689.7 person-years from 4033 participants with 18.7 years of follow-up were generated. The median follow-up time was 17.7 years; 614 deaths were recorded. The overall crude death rate was 9.6 (95% CI 8.9 to 10.4) per 1000 person-years. After adjusting for potential confounders, a reduced risk of mortality was significantly associated with being separated or divorced, being in the highest Socioeconomic Indexes for Areas quintile, engaging in moderate exercise, being overweight (body mass index: 25.0–29.9 kg/m2) and per 10% increase in per cent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s. We found that the most important predictors of all-cause mortality were sociodemographic and behavioural characteristics. Sociodemographic factors were more important predictors of all-cause mortality in young age bracket compared with older people.

Conclusions

Socioeconomic factors were found to be the most important predictors of all-cause mortality. The study highlights the need to address the social inequalities and strengthen behavioural interventions for different subgroups of population to prevent premature deaths.
The utility of Ki-67 as a prognostic biomarker in pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Naheed Salma , Holden Chloe , Tanno Lulu , Jaynes Eleanor , Cave Judith , Ottensmeier Christian H , Pelosi Giuseppe
Published: August 2019

Introduction

The omission of the immunohistochemical proliferation marker Ki-67 labelling index (henceforth, simply Ki-67) from the 2015 WHO classification system of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours (Lung-NETs) as a prognostic and grading criterion remains controversial. This systematic review along with meta-analysis will be conducted to assess the prognostic/grading utility of Ki-67 in Lung-NETs.

Methods

This systematic review will be conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. A systematic search of MEDLINE Ovid, Embase, Scopus and the Cochrane Library will be performed from the inception of each database to 28 February 2019 for studies investigating any role of Ki-67 in Lung-NETs. Only full papers published in English detailing survival outcomes and HRs according to Ki-67 will be included. The primary endpoint will be establishing whether Ki-67 is a reliable marker in determining prognosis and thus assessing grade of Lung-NETs patients.

Ethics and dissemination

Ethical approval will not be required as this is an academic review of published literature. Findings will be disseminated through the preparation of a manuscript for publication in a peer-reviewed journal as well as presentation at national and international conferences.

Clinical nurse specialist prescribing in a cancer centre supportive and palliative care team
Authors: Hall Sally , Thompson Jo , Phair Toni , Davies Andrew Neil
Published: August 2019

Objective

To provide insight into the prescribing practices of three independent nurse prescribers (INPs)/clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) working in a supportive and palliative care team (SPCT) in a district general hospital and a specialist tertiary cancer centre in the UK.

Methods

A prospective review of all consultations and the prescribing activity arising from the consultations (and reasons for non-prescribing following a consultation) of 3 INPs/CNSs between 1 August 2018 and 31 October 2018.

Results

Four hundred ninety-three consultations were undertaken on 186 individual patients. Two hundred forty-seven consultations representing 50% resulted in changes to a prescription, and 123 of those consultations representing 50% of prescriptions written resulted in the prescribing of an opioid for moderate-to-severe pain.

Conclusions

This service evaluation demonstrates the potential for INPs in SPCTs to provide comprehensive symptom control while enabling CNSs to practice with a greater degree of autonomy leading to enhanced job satisfaction. On the basis of our experience, we would encourage all palliative care CNSs to undergo training to become INPs (if available).
Non-suicidal self-injury in Shanghai inner bound middle school students
Authors: Zhang Fang , Cloutier Paula F , Yang Hongmei , Liu Wenjing , Cheng Wenhong , Xiao Zeping
Published: August 2019

Background

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviour is very common among adolescents. Its prevalence and behavioural characteristics may vary according to regional and cultural differences. Investigation of NSSI locations and diagnosis of adolescents with NSSI are relatively lacking in China.

Aims

The study objective was to determine the prevalence and features of NSSI among middle school students in Shanghai.

Methods

The participants were from grade 6 to 8 selected from three junior schools in Jing’an District. Consenting students completed the Ottawa Self-Injury Inventory to determine the prevalence and characteristics of NSSI. Those who indicated NSSI within the past month were administered the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents to assess for emotional disorders.

Result

The result shows 510 participants (21.7%; mean age 13.51 (0.97) years old; 56.7% female) reported at least one instance of NSSI during the previous 12 months. NSSI was significantly more common in girls than boys (24.9% vs 18.5%; χ2=14.03, p=0.00). Commonly reported reasons for NSSI were for internal and external emotion regulation (87.9%, 82.3%) and social influence (57.8%). Anxiety disorders were the most common (28.9%) disorder associated with NSSI.

Conclusion

The rate of NSSI of middle school students in Shanghai inner bound is similar to those reported in North American and European youth. It is essential that school mental health professionals are aware of how to manage NSSI within the school setting.
Monetary Policy, Macroprudential Policy, and Financial Stability
Authors: Martinez-Miera David , Repullo Rafael
Published: August 2019

This review reexamines from a theoretical perspective the role of monetary and macroprudential policies in addressing the build-up of risks in the financial system. We construct a stylized general equilibrium model in which the key friction comes from a moral hazard problem in firms’ financing that banks’ equity capital serves to ameliorate. Tight monetary policy is introduced by open market sales of government debt, and tight macroprudential policy by an increase in capital requirements. We show that both policies are useful, but macroprudential policy is more effective in fostering financial stability and leads to higher social welfare.
Auction Market Design: Recent Innovations
Authors: Milgrom Paul
Published: August 2019

Market design applies economic principles to the often messy problems of real-world exchange in which goods may not be homogeneous, the identities of trading partners may matter, contracts may not be executed, and even the formulation of trade as balancing supply and demand may be unhelpful. This article recounts the mostly academic research advancing the analysis and design of such markets. Among the highlighted applications are ones involving financial markets, Internet advertising, electricity auctions, spectrum auctions, cryptocurrencies, and combinatorial procurements.
Charting New Paths in Modern-Critical Exegesis: An Agrarian-Rhetorical Analysis of Isaiah 5
Authors: Stulac Daniel J. D.
Published: August 2019

Following the work of Ellen Davis in her 2009 volume Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture: An Agrarian Reading of the Bible, this essay identifies an “agrarian hermeneutic” as an important resource for addressing current impasses in modern-critical exegesis. A close examination of Isaiah 5 demonstrates how such a hermeneutic provides fresh insight into a well-worn text. Modern scholars have tended to see this passage as a chronological sequence of prophetic indictment (5:1-7), grievance (5:8-24), and military sentence (5:25-30); such interpretations typically exchange the chapter’s actual language for the sociopolitical realities that are thought to stand behind it, and moreover, cannot adequately account for the text’s redactional expansions. By contrast, an agrarian-rhetorical perspective on this passage identifies a theological sequence that communicates to the reader a paradigmatic vision of land-destruction and loss.
The Risk of Retelling: Gomer-bat-Diblaim, Biblical Retrieval, and the Male Gaze in The Prophet’s Wife
Authors: Gravett Emily O.
Published: August 2019

Milton Steinberg’s posthumously published novel The Prophet’s Wife retells the story of the prophet Hosea and his “wife of whoredom,” Gomer. To analyze the novel’s interpretation of the biblical text, the article first reviews the book of Hosea and outlines the concept of “retrieval” in biblical retellings (that is, the restoration of characters overlooked in the Bible). Because Steinberg retrieves Gomer by drawing upon language of sight, body, and beauty, the article turns to the concept of the “male gaze” from film studies. Using this concept, the article examines several key moments of retrieval from the novel, in which Gomer is framed as a beautiful object for male eyes to appraise. What becomes clear is that Gomer’s retrieval in The Prophet’s Wife paradoxically results in her increased exposure to the male gaze. The article culminates in an exploration of this risk, possibly inherent in biblical retellings that retrieve female figures.

Affective Soundscapes in Thucydidean Battle Narrative
Authors: Hald Bradley
Published: August 2019

Thucydides’ History is deeply committed to the conventional correlation in Greek thought between sight and knowledge. In the Methodology chapters (1.20-3), the histo- rian grounds his investigative project in visual metaphor: it is a work that has been construc- ted ‘out of the most manifest evidence’, which promises to reveal the ‘least visible’ but ‘truest cause’ of this war. In contrast, Thucydides is suspicious of the epistemological value of hearing, repeatedly denigrating the ‘alluring’ sounds of poetic and hearsay accounts of Greek history. In this paper, I argue that this critique extends also to other sounds in the History, and that Thucydides’ anxieties over audition are directly related to the prob- lematic relation he sees between sound, knowledge, and emotion. While visual perception provides the normative pathway to cognitive evaluation and rational emotional response, sounds have the capacity to short-circuit the evaluative process by circumventing cognition and eliciting unmediated affective responses in hearing subjects.
Martem Accendere Cantu: The Meaning of Music on the Battlefield
Authors: Klavan Spencer A.
Published: August 2019

This paper examines in detail an under-appreciated passage from Philodemus of Gadara’s On Music in order to elucidate several important controversies in Hellenistic musical philosophy. The Stoic Diogenes of Babylon claimed that the emotional impact of trumpet tunes can inspire soldiers to fight. But the Epicurean Philodemus believed that the meaningful words (λόγοι) which stimulate our actions are utterly distinct from meaningless musical sound (µουσική). Philodemus therefore framed an alternative theory in which trumpet calls on the battlefield function not as music but as a kind of makeshift language, using conventional signifiers to communicate instructions. I show how both philosophers’ views arise logically out of doctrines from their respective schools. I then argue that the trumpet’s dual status as both performance instrument and communications device makes it a natural philosophical flashpoint: it raises central questions about what music is, how it affects listeners, and whether it can convey meaning.
Sounds of War: What Brought the Walls of Jericho Down?
Authors: Kramarz Andreas
Published: August 2019

The destruction of Jericho’s city walls (Joshua 6) is commonly attributed to the blowing of trumpets. After examining similar stories from ancient Greece, the article addresses various imprecisions of this notion. First, the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin versions of the biblical text suggest several possible instruments, but eventually the ram horn (shofar) remains the only reasonable option. Secondly, regarding the actual cause of the walls’ fall, textual analysis, again across languages, reveals a rather complex picture. Further insights are gained from the interpretations of both Jewish and early Christian commentators and contemporary scholarship. After considering a variety of possibilities, ranging from an earthquake to the ‘magic’ number seven, the solution proposed here is rooted in the soteriological hermeneutics of Sacred Scripture as a whole. In a way, none and all of the people’s actions are relevant, because only faith and obedience to God’s commandment elicit the divine ratification of salvation.
Λελεγίζω: An Obscure Verb
Authors: Panegyres Konstantine
Published: August 2019

The rare verb λελεγίζω is glossed as τὸ κιθαρίζω by Byzantine lexicographers. This paper discusses the form and meaning of λελεγίζω from the perspective of musical terminology, such as its relation to the verbs λαλέω and λαλαγέω or to -ίζω verbs derived from ethnic names. I propose that the most likely interpretation of λελεγίζω is that it means ‘to play the kithara in the Lelegian manner’.

Are Jail Sanctions More Punitive Than Community-Based Punishments? An Examination Into the Perceived Severity of Alternative Sanctions in Community Supervision
Authors: Wodahl Eric J. , Garland Brett E. , Schweitzer Kimberly
Published: August 2019

The use of sanctions in community supervision has received considerable attention in recent years. Fueled in large part by the attention given to the swift, certain, and fair (SCF) sanctioning model, many agencies have adopted sanctioning programs, which often rely heavily on the use of short-term jail incarceration. In addition to jail, there exist a number of alternative, community-based punishments that can be utilized to respond to instances of noncompliance, including enhanced drug testing and community service hours. Little is known, however, about how individuals perceive community-based sanctions compared with jail. This study addresses this issue by examining perceptions of sanctions among individuals under community supervision. Survey findings indicate that community-based punishments are not viewed as being substantially less punitive than jail incarceration. In addition, perceptions of sanction severity are influenced by a variety of individual, experiential, and supervision-level factors. The policy implications of the study findings are discussed.
Disassembly sequence planning using a fast and effective precedence-based disassembly subset-generation method
Authors: Zhang Nan , Liu Zhenyu , Qiu Chan , Cheng Jin , Tan Jianrong
Published: August 2019

Disassembly sequence planning plays a crucial role in the reuse and remanufacturing of end-of-life products. However, it is challenging to obtain optimal disassembly sequences as it is a difficult non-deterministic polynomial-time–hard combinatorial optimisation problem. This study proposes a precedence-based disassembly subset-generation method to solve the disassembly sequence-planning problem. The proposed method first generates disassembly subsets based on disassembly precedence relationships. Subsequently, multiple high-level feasible subsets are generated, and some of them are selected to generate higher level subsets using specially designed operators. After several iterations, different optimal disassembly sequences can be obtained. The principal merit of this method is that high-quality disassembly sequences can be generated in the solution construction process. Numerical experiments were conducted by applying the proposed method to three case studies, and the performance of the proposed method for finding optimal solutions and reducing computational time was evaluated in comparison with state-of-the-art methods. The parameters employed in this method were also analysed to explain the mechanism adopted.
Taking Data Literacy to the Streets: Critical Pedagogy in the Public Sphere
Authors: Markham Annette N.
Published: August 2019

This article describes an ongoing series of public arts–based experiments that build critical curiosity and develop data literacy via self-reflexive public interventions. Examined through the lens of remix methodology the Museum of Random Memory exemplifies a form of collective–reflexive meta-analysis whereby interdisciplinary researchers generate immediate social change and build better questions for future public engagement. The experiments help people critically analyze their own social lives and well being in cultural environments of growing datafication and automated (artificial intelligence [AI]-driven) decision-making. Reflexivity, bricolage, and critical pedagogy are emphasized as approaches for responding to changing needs in the public sphere that also build more robust interdisciplinary academic teams.
Do Teachers Want Democracy? Deliberative Culture and Teachers’ Evaluations of Schools
Authors: Collins Jonathan E.
Published: August 2019

Teachers have become important actors in national, state, and, especially, local politics. Most research on the political behavior of teachers focuses on their relationship with public-sector unions. While extremely useful, little is known about how teachers form the evaluations of schools and districts that motivate their political behavior. I propose and test a new theory of how teachers form evaluations of school satisfaction that centers on deliberative democracy. I argue that, in addition to student performance, teachers factor in how “deliberative” school districts are when expressing satisfaction. Using two separate survey analyses, this article finds that teachers of districts with a stronger deliberative culture are significantly more likely to feel satisfied with the schools in their districts. Moreover, in districts with a stronger deliberative culture, teachers and students are more likely to be included in decision-making at the school level. This latter relationship holds true even for teachers in districts with high levels of student poverty.

Authors: O’Brien Amanda M. , Kivisto Lynette R. , Deasley Shanna , Casey Joseph E.
Published: August 2019

Objective: This study provides independent examination of the validity of the Barkley Deficits of Executive Functioning Scale–Children and Adolescents (BDEFS-CA) in a sample of children diagnosed with ADHD ( n = 50) and typically developing controls ( n = 50). Method: Parents of participants completed the BDEFS-CA and the Conners 3 rating scales. Validity of BDEFS-CA was examined using a confirmatory factor analysis, correlational analyses with Conners 3 ratings, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of diagnostic accuracy. Results: Findings support the construct, concurrent, and discriminant validity of the BDEFS-CA in a mixed sample. Conclusion: Findings provide independent examination of the validity of the BDEFS-CA as a measure of executive dysfunction and a screening tool for ADHD.
Multiple Omics Data Integration to Identify Long Noncoding RNA Responsible for Breast Cancer–Related Mortality
Authors: Roy Sarkar Tapasree , Maity Arnab Kumar , Niu Yabo , Mallick Bani K
Published: August 2019

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a large and diverse class of transcribed RNAs, which have been shown to play a significant role in developing cancer. In this study, we apply integrative modeling framework to integrate the DNA copy number variation (CNV), lncRNA expression, and downstream target protein expression to predict patient survival in breast cancer. We develop a 3-stage model combining a mechanical model (lncRNA regressed on CNV and target proteins regressed on lncRNA) and a clinical model (survival regressed on estimated effects from the mechanical models). Using lncRNAs (such as HOTAIR and MALAT1) along with their CNV, target protein expressions, and survival outcomes from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we show that predicted mean square error and integrated Brier score (IBS) are both lower for the proposed 3-step integrated model than that of 2-step model. Therefore, the integrative model has better predictive ability than the 2-step model not considering target protein information.
Self-concept, illness acceptance and depressive and anxiety symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis
Authors: Kiropoulos Litza , Ward Natalie , Rozenblat Vanja
Published: August 2019

Little research has examined the relationship between self-concept and depressive and anxiety symptoms and whether this is moderated by illness acceptance in individuals with multiple sclerosis. Results of an online self-report survey completed by 515 individuals with multiple sclerosis revealed that self-concept was negatively associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms with illness acceptance moderating the association such that individuals with highest self-concept and illness acceptance had the lowest levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms. Findings lend support to psychological interventions that focus on increasing illness acceptance and fostering positive self-concept in individuals with multiple sclerosis.
Disentangling the relationship between empowering leader behaviors and adaptive performance in work teams
Authors: Rousseau Vincent , Aubé Caroline
Published: August 2019

When teams operate in a dynamic and complex environment, their ability to adapt to changing demands is crucial for organizational success. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of empowering behaviors exhibited by team leaders in team adaptive performance by taking into account the mediating role of shared leadership displayed by team members and the moderating effect of access to resources. Data were collected from 82 work teams (i.e., 394 members and 82 immediate supervisors) in a public safety organization. Results of path analyses show that the relationship between empowering leader behaviors and team adaptive performance is mediated by shared leadership. Moreover, we found that the relationship between empowering leader behaviors and shared leadership is moderated by access to resources, such that this relationship is stronger when the level of access to resources is high. Overall, the findings shed light on the process through which team leaders can enhance the adaptive performance of their team.
Inductance effect of passive electromagnetic dampers on building-damper system subjected to near-fault earthquakes
Authors: Guo Wei , Wu Xiaoli , Wei Xinna , Cui Yao , Bu Dan
Published: August 2019

The passive electromagnetic damper was commonly simplified into the linear viscous model in numerical analysis, while this simplification may produce large error when the damper inductance is obvious. In this article, an optimal passive electromagnetic damper with good performance and economy characteristic is proposed by parameter optimization, where the damping density is set as the optimization objective. The hysteresis behavior of the passive electromagnetic damper is verified, and by neglecting the inductance effect, the passive electromagnetic damper can be simplified into the linear viscous model in some cases, but actually the inductance effect is obvious under the high-frequency excitation. Subsequently, the effect of inductance on seismic performance of building damper system under the near-fault earthquake is investigated by comparing the simplified linear viscous model and the accurate passive electromagnetic model. The passive electromagnetic damper was supplemented in a 9-story building, and the analysis of the accurate passive electromagnetic model was carried out by the co-simulation of MATLAB and OpenSees based on the client–server technology. It concludes that the inductance effect is obvious and causes large error when the building damper system is subjected to the near-fault earthquake, and the energy dissipation performance described by the linear viscous model is overestimated.

Eating foods high in added sugar has recently increased among people of all ages. This is expected to negatively affect health and life quality. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between added sugar intake and sleep quality among university students. A total of 100 randomly selected female students (19-25 years old) from Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia, participated in the study after applying exclusion criteria. Sample size was calculated with expected correlation of −0.4 between sugar intake and sleep quality, a power of 90%, and a type 1 error of 5%. Participants completed the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), sleep quality questionnaire, and 24-hour dietary recall. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25, and the χ2 test was used for measuring the association between added sugar intake and sleep quality, where P <.05 was considered statistically significant. Results showed that only 17% of participants had good sleep. Data of the 24-hour dietary recall showed a significant association (P = .014) between consumption of added sugars and sleep quality. This is the first study to directly report on the effect of higher intake of added sugars on sleep quality. The study concluded that poor sleep quality was significantly related to higher added sugar intake.
Numerical modeling of fluid resonance in narrow gaps of fixed rectangular structures
Authors: Liu Ming-ming , Jin Rui-jia , Cui Zhen-dong
Published: August 2019

A two-dimensional numerical model is developed to investigate the phenomenon of resonance in narrow gaps. Instead of using commonly used Volume of Fluid method to capture the free surface which is sometimes difficult to capture the geometric properties of the geometrically complicated interface, the free surface is traced by using Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method. The numerical model is based on the two-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes equations. The numerical model is validated against wave propagation in wave flume. Comparisons between the numerical results and available theoretical data show satisfactory agreements. Fluid resonance in narrow gaps of fixed rectangular structures are simulated. Numerical results show that resonance wave height and wave frequency for rectangle boxes with sphenoid corners is larger than for rectangle boxes.
Feature learning for fault detection in high-dimensional condition monitoring signals
Authors: Michau Gabriel , Hu Yang , Palmé Thomas , Fink Olga
Published: August 2019

Complex industrial systems are continuously monitored by a large number of heterogeneous sensors. The diversity of their operating conditions and the possible fault types make it impossible to collect enough data for learning all the possible fault patterns. This article proposes an integrated automatic unsupervised feature learning and one-class classification for fault detection that uses data on healthy conditions only for its training. The approach is based on stacked extreme learning machines (namely hierarchical extreme learning machines) and comprises an autoencoder, performing unsupervised feature learning, stacked with a one-class classifier monitoring the distance of the test data to the training healthy class, thereby assessing the health of the system. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of hierarchical extreme learning machines fault detection capability compared to other machine learning approaches, such as stand-alone one-class classifiers (extreme learning machines and support vector machines); these same one-class classifiers combined with traditional dimensionality reduction methods (principal component analysis) and a deep belief network. The performance is first evaluated on a synthetic dataset that encompasses typical characteristics of condition monitoring data. Subsequently, the approach is evaluated on a real case study of a power plant fault. The proposed algorithm for fault detection, combining feature learning with the one-class classifier, demonstrates a better performance, particularly in cases where condition monitoring data contain several non-informative signals.

Published: August 2019

Background:

In the present study, we explored potential protein biomarkers useful to predict the therapeutic response of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients treated with pharmaceutical grade Chondroitin sulfate/Glucosamine hydrochloride (CS+GH; Droglican, Bioiberica), in order to optimize therapeutic outcomes.

Methods:

A shotgun proteomic analysis by iTRAQ labelling and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was performed using sera from 40 patients enrolled in the Multicentre Osteoarthritis interVEntion trial with Sysadoa (MOVES). The panel of proteins potentially useful to predict KOA patient’s response was clinically validated in the whole MOVES cohort at baseline ( n = 506) using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays kits. Logistic regression models and receiver-operating-characteristics (ROC) curves were used to analyze the contribution of these proteins to our prediction models of symptomatic drug response in KOA.

Results:

In the discovery phase of the study, a panel of six putative predictive biomarkers of response to CS+GH (APOA2, APOA4, APOH, ITIH1, C4BPa and ORM2) were identified by shotgun proteomics. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD012444. In the verification phase, the panel was verified in a larger set of KOA patients ( n = 262). Finally, ITIH1 and ORM2 were qualified by a blind test in the whole MOVES cohort at baseline. The combination of these biomarkers with clinical variables predict the patients’ response to CS+GH with a specificity of 79.5% and a sensitivity of 77.1%.

Conclusions:

Combining clinical and analytical parameters, we identified one biomarker that could accurately predict KOA patients’ response to CS+GH treatment. Its use would allow an increase in response rates and safety for the patients suffering KOA.
Bilateral Visual Loss After Spine Surgery in a Patient With Midfacial Trauma: A Case Report

Published: August 2019

We present a case of bilateral visual loss in a patient who underwent spine surgery after sustaining a fall and trauma to her face and cervical spine. Visual loss in the right eye, not recognized until after surgery, was a result of blunt injury to the eye. Visual loss in the left eye was caused by posterior ischemic optic neuropathy, an unfortunate complication of surgery in the prone position.
Vernon Lee’s Hideous Roman à Clef
Authors: Phillips Matthew John
Published: August 2019

Following Henry James, literary-critical practices presume the autonomy and integrity of the literary text. The roman à clef meanwhile troubles this autonomy by presuming a transparent and concrete relation between text and world. By turning to the late nineteenth-century writer Vernon Lee, who elevates reference as a vital principle of all literary representation, this essay argues that the roman à clef challenges our assumptions about the value of reference. Lee’s novel Miss Brown (1884), a roman à clef about British aestheticism, is treated as a privileged case study for reading this alternative history of the novel. By focusing on the provisionality of literature, which Lee calls a “half-art,” this essay argues that literature’s reference to an external context provides a point of departure for thinking about women’s disempowerment and vulnerability in late nineteenth-century British culture. At the same time, it argues that provisionality offers a model for considering the broader consequences of limitation and determination in the history of the novel.
Putting up (with) the paying guest: negotiating hospitality and the boundaries of the commercial home in private lodging arrangements
Authors: Heath Sue , Scicluna Rachael

This article explores the guest–host relationship in private lodging arrangements in the UK, a living arrangement that has increased dramatically in recent years in response to escalating housing costs. Utilising data from a UK study of diverse forms of shared housing, and situated within literature on critical hospitality, we first explore the spirit in which hospitality is offered by hosts and the importance of the financial transaction relative to other considerations, while also highlighting the experiences of hosts who positively embrace shared living. We then explore the limits of hospitality in private lodgings, foregrounding the experiences of more reluctant hosts, and highlighting how hospitality can easily mutate into hostility. We conclude that the ambivalent nature of the home space that is experienced in private lodgings creates a situation where often neither host nor guest truly feels ‘at home’ while living in the presence of the other, although the extent to which this is seen as problematic depends very much on the orientation of those involved to more communal ways of living and their willingness to compromise in order to achieve a balance between ‘yours’ and ‘mine’.
Helicopter parenting and female university students’ anxiety: does parents’ gender matter?

Published: August 2019

This study examined two potential mechanisms, competence and self-efficacy, that might account for the relationship between helicopter parenting and anxiety symptoms among female university students, and whether any mediating effects differed by parent gender. Structural equation modelling of data collected from 473 undergraduate students showed that both competence and self-efficacy mediated the association between paternal helicopter parenting and female university students’ anxiety symptoms. No mediation effect was found for maternal helicopter parenting. A comparison between paternal and maternal effects revealed that they differed significantly from each other. Specifically, associations between helicopter parenting and female university students’ competence and self-efficacy were much stronger for fathers than for mothers. Implications of the gender-specific findings are discussed in this article, and their importance for prevention and intervention are highlighted.
The ‘quality’ of social work students in England: a genealogy of discourse 2002–18
Authors: Hanley Joe
Published: August 2019

Students entering university-based social work qualifying education are increasingly constructed in policy as lacking in quality. This article presents a genealogy of discourse examining major reports and policy documents in England from 2002 to 2018 in order to understand how the dominant discourse around these students has changed since the introduction of the social work degree as the minimum qualification for practice. Key findings from the genealogy are that the quality of students has increasingly been described in negative terms, and this is linked in the discourse to a lack of employer involvement and the poor public perception of the profession. Fast-track social work qualifying programmes are presented as the self-evident answer to these issues within this discursive formation. However, it is ultimately shown that the current discursive direction may actually be leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy that deters students from joining the social work profession through any qualifying route.
Literacy: a sustainable justice tool for refugee emancipation
Authors: Worland Shirley
Published: August 2019

This article relates to ongoing research that began in 2012, which first explored the related meanings attached to the dual constructs of literacy/non-literacy and the development of displaced Karen living in refugee camps and villages along the Thai–Myanmar border zone. The research expanded to a participatory community developmental model to develop, implement and evaluate adult literacy programmes aiming at emancipating refugees to be active participants in the current United Nations High Commission for Refugees roadmap for repatriation to their homeland, Myanmar. Research findings demonstrate the value of grass-roots adult literacy programmes to achieve sustainable justice, emancipating refugees to confidently build more resilient communities in these changing times.

Cystic duct stump leak remains a difficult clinical problem despite advancements in endoscopic techniques. When these minimally invasive strategies fail, patients are often subject to high morbidity and mortality associated with open surgical exploration. We report the successful treatment of persistent biliary leak from the cystic duct stump following cholecystectomy using percutaneous transabdominal access of the cystic duct and coil embolization.

Idiosyncratic Liver Injury Due to Levocetirizine
Authors: Annunziata Giuseppe , Mayuko Imai , Barbara Mary
Published: August 2019

Levocetirizine is an over-the-counter nonsedating antihistaminic agent commonly used to treat allergic diseases. Clinically significant acute liver injury has been very rarely associated with its use. Only 2 cases of acute liver injury associated with levocetirizine have been reported in the literature. We describe the case of a 67-year-old man who developed clinically significant acute hepatic injury after using levocetirizine. On the liver biopsy, there were histological findings of periportal inflammation and prominent cholestatic injury; such findings are consistent with those previously described in another similar case.
