Published: May 2020

Background

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer among men in the western world. Genetic lifetime risk assessment could alleviate controversies about prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing for early diagnosis.

Aim

To determine how men interpret information about their lifetime risk for PC and how this can affect their choice of having a repeated PSA test.

Design & setting

A genetic test was offered for assessment of individual PC lifetime risk in general practices in Denmark, with the purpose of promoting appropriate use of PSA testing.

Method

Participants had a genetic lifetime risk assessment for PC diagnosis (either high or normal risk). A month after receiving the result, participants answered a questionnaire about their perceived risk of getting or dying from PC compared with other men, as well as their intentions for repeated PSA testing.

Results

Nearly half (44.7%) of 555 participants who received the genetic risk assessment were not aware they had a genetic test. Nevertheless, compared with men with a normal genetic risk, those with high genetic risk reported higher perceived risk for PC (mean difference of 0.74 [95% confidence interval {CI} = 0.56 to 0.96] on a 5-point scale), higher perceived risk of dying from PC (mean difference of 0.48 [95% CI = 0.29 to 0.66] on a 5-point scale), and increased intention for repeated PSA testing (mean difference of 0.48 [95% CI = 0.30 to 0.65] on a 4-point scale).

Conclusion

Despite low awareness and/or understanding of the test result, a high genetic risk for PC made participants more aware of their risk, and it increased their intention and probability for repeated PSA testing.

Introducción: Los complejos metálicos juegan un importante papel en la lucha contra el cáncer; estos fármacos interaccionan con el ADN mediante enlaces covalentes con las bases nitrogenadas, provocando distorsión de la hebra para su posterior reconocimiento por proteínas que inducen la muerte celular. Objetivo: Caracterizar a través de métodos computacionales basados en Mecánica Cuántica y Mecánica Molecular, la interacción entre diversos fármacos anti-cancerígenos y el ADN. Materiales y métodos: Se optimizaron todas las estructuras de dichos fármacos (complejos de Pt(II), Ag(I) y Pd(II)) y las bases nitrogenadas del ADN (A, C, G y T), empleando DFT al nivel B3LYP y las bases atómicas 6-31++G(d,p) para los átomos livianos, mientras que el dodecaedro del ADN se optimizó mediante mecánica molecular empleando UFF como campo de fuerza. Resultados: A través del análisis de los mapas de ESP y Energía de Ionización Local Promedio, se determinó que el sitio más nucleofílico en las bases nitrogenadas correspondió al N1 de la adenina. La especie más electrofilia fue el cis-diamindiaquoplatino (II) con aumento del carácter electrofílico tras la sustitución de grupos salientes por ligandos agua. Los sistemas fármaco/base nitrogenada se caracterizaron a través de QTAIM, observándose una interacción de capa cerrada en todos los sistemas. Los sistemas de Pt y Pd con guanina resultaron ser los más estables. Conclusión: Se determinó que el método ONIOM fue capaz de modelar la torcedura que sufre la molécula de ADN al coordinarse con complejos platinados, por lo tanto, para fines de observar geometrías moleculares, resultó confiable.

Remnants of Mesoarchaean oceanic crust in the Tartoq Group, South-West Greenland
Authors: Szilas Kristoffer , Van Hinsberg Vincent J. , Kisters Alexander F. M. , Kokfelt Thomas F. , Scherstén Anders , Windley Brian F.
Published: May 2020

The Tartoq Group is located in the Sermiligaarsuk fjord region in South-West Greenland in an area of approximately 20 × 50 km (Fig. 1). The Tartoq Group consists of several discrete, fault-bound blocks of metavolcanic rocks, surrounded by Archaean tonalite-trondhjemite-granodioritetype (TTG) gneisses. A zircon age of 2996.3 ± 5.9 Ma of a TTG intrusion provides a minimum age for the formation of the Tartoq Group (Fig. 2). The metavolcanic rocks probably show the lowest degree of metamorphism found anywhere in the Archaean craton of Greenland. Here we present a new model for the origin of the metavolcanic rocks of the Tartoq Group based on geochemical, metamorphic and structural data. The samples used for this study were collected by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) in 2009 and 2010. The study is part of a joint project between the Greenland Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum and GEUS on the mineral potential of south-western Greenland.
Descriptive text to the Geological map of Greenland, 1:100 000, Kilen 81 Ø.1 Syd

Published: May 2020

The geological map sheet of Kilen in 1:100 000 scale covers the south-eastern part of the Carboniferous–Palaeogene Wandel Sea Basin in eastern North Greenland. The map area is dominated by the Flade Isblink ice cap, which separates several minor isolated landmasses. On the semi-nunatak of Kilen, the map is mainly based on oblique photogrammetry and stratigraphical field work while in Erik S. Henius Land, Nordostrundingen and northern Amdrup Land the map is based on field data collected during previous, 1:500 000 scale regional mapping. Twenty-one Palaeozoic–Mesozoic mappable units were identified on Kilen, while the surrounding areas comprise the Late Cretaceous Nakkehoved Formation to the north-east and the Late Carboniferous Foldedal Formation to the south-west. On Kilen, the description of Jurassic–Cretaceous units follows a recently published lithostratigraphy. The Upper Palaeozoic–lowermost Cretaceous strata comprise seven formations and an informal mélange unit. The overlying Lower–Upper Cretaceous succession comprises the Galadriel Fjeld and Sølverbæk Formations, which are subdivided into six and five units, respectively. In addition, the Quaternary Ymer Formation was mapped on south-east Kilen. The Upper Palaeozoic to Mesozoic strata of Kilen are faulted and folded. Several post-Coniacian NNW–SSE-trending normal faults are identified and found to be passively folded by a later N–S compressional event. A prominent subhorizontal fault, the Central Detachment, separates two thrust sheets, the Kilen Thrust Sheet in the footwall and the Hondal Elv Thrust Sheet in the hanging wall. The style of deformation and the structures found on Kilen are caused by compressional tectonics resulting in post-extensional, presumably Early Eocene, folding and thrusting and basin inversion. The structural history of the surrounding areas and their relation to Kilen await further studies.
Stratigraphy of the Neill Klinter Group; a Lower – lower Middle Jurassic tidal embayment succession, Jameson Land, East Greenland
Authors: Dam Gregers , Surlyk Finn
Published: May 2020

The sediments of the Neill Klinter Group of Jameson Land, East Greenland were deposited in a wide, shallow, wave, storm and tidally-influenced marine embayment situated at the western margin of the Jurassic seaway between Greenland and Norway. The group is formally defined and a new lithostratigraphic scheme is erected on the basis of recent sedimentological, biostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic studies. The Neill Klinter Formation is changed to group rank; the Rævekløft, Gule Horn and Ostreaelv Members are revised and raised in status to formations, and the Sortehat Formation is redefined and included in the group. The Gule Horn Formation is divided into two new members and the Ostreaelv Formation into seven new members. The Neill Klinter Group is up to 450 m thick.

Sandy and muddy material was transported into the embayment from source areas to the east, west and north. A number of sub-environments are represented in the succession, including: restricted and bioturbated offshore, storm-dominated offshore transition zone, wave and storm-dominated shoreface, storm-dominated sandy shoal, subtidal sand sheet, ebb-tidal delta, tidal channel, wave and storm-dominated lagoon, and ephemeral stream delta.

The Neill Klinter Group consists of seven sequences and is characterised by a near absence of parasequences, interpreted as reflecting high influx rates of sand into the land-locked embayment. Continuous filling of accommodation space and erosion resulted in amalgamation of sedimentary packages, and poor development of facies cyclicity.
A reassessment of the timing of early Archaean crustal evolution in West Greenland
Authors: Moorbath Stephen , Kamber Balz Samuel
Published: May 2020

In last year’s Review of Greenland activities, Kalsbeek (1997) divided the recent history of geochronology into three successive periods: 1. single-sample K-Ar and Rb-Sr mineral or whole-rock age determinations; 2. Rb-Sr and Pb/Pb whole-rock isochrons and multigrain zircon U-Pb isotope data; 3. the present, where ‘single’ zircon U-Pb data are predominantly used. To these three, we would propose adding a fourth, namely a combination of all three, in order to achieve the maximum age information within complex terrains. For an early Precambrian terrain like that of West Greenland, we consider that the combined use of at least the last two approaches is essential (to which should be added the Sm-Nd method). In recent years, study of the geochronological evolution of the Godthåbsfjord and Isua regions has been dominated by rapid and precise ion-probe U-Pb dating of complex-structured zircons, and it has become fashionable to regard the wide range of zircon dates, and particularly the oldest, as giving the age of rock formation. Dates obtained from whole-rock Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd and Pb/Pb regressions have been regarded as too imprecise for adequate age resolution, whilst constraints on crustal evolution imposed by initial Sr, Nd and Pb isotope ratios have been summarily dismissed or totally ignored. We consider that this sole dependence on ion-probe dating of zircon can lead (as, indeed, in the early Archaean of West Greenland) to a potential misinterpretation of the timing of crustal evolution, especially in those cases where little or no information regarding the relationship between measured date and internal grain structure is available. Figure 1 shows the localities mentioned in the text.
The Precambrian supracrustal rocks of Nunataq, north-east Disko Bugt, West Greenland
Authors: Higgins A.K. , Soper N.J.
Published: May 2020

Supracrustal rocks preserved in a major syncline in southern Nunataq comprise an Archaean and a Proterozoic sequence. An angular discordance between the two sequences is preserved locally. The basal development of the younger sequence shows similarities with that of the lower Proterozoic Mârmorilik Formation of the Uummannaq region north of Nuussuaq. The major syncline–anticline fold pair of southern Nunataq is part of a regional system of E–Wtrending Proterozoic folds which also deform the supracrustal rocks of Anap Nunaa, south of Nunataq. Recognition of a major syncline in southern Anap Nunaa, largely obliterated by albitisation, permits a simpler structural interpretation than previously suggested.

Published: May 2020

Küresel pazar konumlarını güçlendirmek isteyen ülkeler, hub havalimanları kurarak havayolları için noktadan noktaya uçuş sistemine yeni bir alternatif sunmaktadırlar. Artan uluslararası ticaret hacmi, nüfus ve refah seviyesi, uygulanan ölçek ekonomisi sayesinde düşen maliyetler, yolcuların zamanlarını daha bilinçli, etkin, verimli kullanma istekleri ve bunun yanında hub stratejisinin kullanımı sektörün büyümesini sağlarken diğer taraftan kar marjlarının düşmesi ve rekabetin şiddetinin artmasına neden olmaktadır. Sektörde oluşan uluslararası rekabetle baş edebilmek için strateji arayışlarında ön plana çıkan hub havalimanları, sadece ulaşım merkezleri olarak değil, aynı zamanda kentsel gelişim için odak noktaları haline gelmeye başlamıştır. Majör hub Atatürk Havalimanı’nın ticari yolcu trafiğinin, dünyanın 350 noktasına 150 havayolu hedefi ile açılan yeni kapısı İstanbul Havalimanı’na başarılı bir şekilde taşınması bölgede hub ve beraberinde hava kent dönemini başlatmıştır. Yeni bir fenomen olarak hava kentlerin kısa zamanda iş ve yaşam alanlarını şekillendiren bir ekosistem oluşturması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yüzyılın ikinci yarısında ortaya çıkan, deregülasyon sonrası hız kazanan, hava taşımacılığında merkez ve ona bağlı rotaların büyümesinde hâkim bir iş modeli olarak kullanılan hub sistemini açıklayarak teorik bir çerçeve sunmaktır. Ayrıca araştırmacılara, hub sisteminin süreç içerisinde oluşturacağı hava kent kavramını çalışabilmeleri için bir başlangıç noktası, temel oluşturmaktır.
The unique Basque peace process
Authors: Bengoetxea Joxerramon
Published: May 2020

This paper considers the recent and unique case of transitional justice in the Basque Country. Its uniqueness, from a comparative perspective, lies in its unilateral character. It is mostly through the pressure of Basque Society, together with the tough stance of the criminal justice system of Spain that ETA has dissolved. The analysis of this process thus discusses some issues of transitional justice, in tension with formal or traditional justice, and the relevance of this new field in Europe, Spain and the Basque Country. The paper spells out the most significant initiatives in the field of transitional justice adopted in the Basque case, stressing the importance of civil society, and the range of issues arising in a post-conflict situation where different agents have significantly different agendas. The paper concludes by suggesting steps towards an inclusive agenda on memory and narratives of the conflict capable of delivering truth and reconciliation.
Emergence ecology of the critically endangered Urothemis edwardsii in a new colonized site in El Kala National Park (Algeria): conservation implications
Authors: Affef Baaloudj
Published: May 2020

Urothemis edwardsii is one of the most threatened dragonfly species in the Mediterranean. Recent investigations and conservation efforts have increased the local geographic distribution of the species in Northeast Algeria, where a new population (named El Graeate) has been discovered. In the absence of information about the biology and behavior of U. edwardsii in this new site, a study was conducted on the emergence ecology of the species taking into account the temporal pattern of emergence, sex ratio, body size and microhabitat selection. Emergence, which was quite asynchronous, lasted for 50 days, with 50% of the population emerging within the first half of the period. Sex ratio at emergence was slightly female biased despite the absence of sexual size dimorphism, suggesting that size is not the only driving force behind mortality bias during the larval stage. There was a slight seasonal increase in the body size of exuviae (exoskeletons) in both sexes. Microhabitat selection, assessed as the vertical stratification of exuviae at ecdysis, was positively correlated with the height of supporting plants, but the relationship reached a plateau suggesting that there are predetermined limits to the vertical distribution of exuviae. These data will be essential for the future species protection, restoration and management attempts in the region.
Seasonal variations in the population biology of Salmostoma bacaila (Cyprinidae) from a tributary of the Payra River, Bangladesh
Authors: Ahamed Ahamed , Zoarder Faruque Ahmed , Ohtomi Jun
Published: May 2020

Some biological parameters of Salmostoma bacaila – including sex ratio, length-frequency distributions (LFDs), size at sexual maturity, spawning season, length-weight relationships (LWRs) and condition factor – were studied. Samples were collected seasonally during June 2017 to May 2018 from a tributary of the Payra River. The overall sex ratio was significantly different from the expected value of 1:1 (p < 0.001), in favour of male specimens. Females were significantly larger than males. Size at sexual maturity was estimated at 7.6~7.7 cm total length. Seasonal variations in the gonadosomatic index (GSI) indicate that the main spawning season is from spring to summer. The LWRs showed negative allometric growth in both sexes, but with clear seasonal variation. Fulton’s condition factor varied in both sexes and was attributed to variations in GSI with maturity. The fin¬dings of this study will be helpful for management and conservation of S. bacaila populations.
Condensed Mastery Profile Method for Setting Standards for Diagnostic Assessment Systems
Authors: Clark Amy K. , Nash Brooke , Karvonen Meagan
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this study was to develop a standard‐setting method appropriate for use with a diagnostic assessment that produces profiles of student mastery rather than a single raw or scale score value. The condensed mastery profile method draws from established holistic standard‐setting methods to use rounds of range finding and pinpointing to specify cut points between performance levels. Panelists are convened to review profiles of mastery and specify cut points between performance levels based on the total number of skills mastered. Following panelist specification of cut points, a statistical method is implemented to smooth cut points over grades to decrease between‐grade variability. Procedural evidence, including convergence plots, standard errors of pinpointing ratings, and panelist feedback, suggest the condensed mastery profile method is a useful and technically sound approach for setting performance standards for diagnostic assessment systems.

The present study appraises the recitals of carboxylic acid- based admixture to increase concrete water tightness and self-sealing capacity of the cement and geopolymer concrete. Outcomes of the previous studies in particular, adding 1% by cement mass of the carboxylic polymer reasons for reduction in the water dispersion under pressure of 7-day wet cured concrete by 50% associated to that of the conforming reference concrete. At 7 days, M4 mix compressive strength is about 43.5% less than M3 mix. The compressive strength of M4 increases and is about 37.6% less than M3 mix at 28 days of curing. At 7 days, M4 mix split tensile strength is about 17.5% less than M3 mix (cement concrete with 0.45 w/c ratio). The split tensile strength of M4 declines and is about 42.3% less than M3 mix at 28 days of curing. The strength of the geopolymer concrete tends to increase as the time period increases due to the presence of fly ash in it. So it is expected that geopolymer concrete will give more strength than cement concrete in long term with the presence of carboxylic acid.

Published: May 2020

Technology development has grown rapidly in the last decades and gained importance for accounting and auditing through its identified potentials. Particularly the automation of judgment systems and systems that require human intervention, are deemed to be more relevant to confront a transformation through Robotic Process Automation (RPA). During the continuous development, the augmentation of such systems through Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a greenfield project with high expectations. However theoretical frameworks have not yet been elaborative and sufficient to capture how such deployments can be conducted. Addressing this research gap, this study presents a summarized overview of the transforming RPA ecosystem and indicates what challenges are critical to being confronted for a successful implementation of such systems in accounting and auditing.

In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While reactions to failures in the data plane can be significantly faster compared to control plane mechanisms, implementing fast recovery in the data plane is challenging, and has recently received much attention in the literature. This survey presents a systematic, tutorial-like overview of packet-based fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane, focusing on concepts but structured around different networking technologies, from traditional link-layer and IP-based mechanisms, over BGP and MPLS to emerging software-defined networks and programmable data planes. We examine the evolution of fast-recovery standards and mechanisms over time, and identify and discuss the fundamental principles and algorithms underlying different mechanisms. We then present a taxonomy of the state of the art and compile open research questions.

School in the shadow: Private education in Stockholm 1735. During the early eighteenth century, private education was a more significant sector of the educational market than was public education, regarding the number of students and teachers, the presence of female students and teachers, the social background of the students, and the introduction of a more diverse and modern curriculum. Hitherto, little has been known of the actual scope or general conditions of private education, which has been over-shadowed by studies of public education. The article maps private education through the Stockholm Church Consistory’s (Stockholms stads konsistorium) thorough inventory of private teachers in the capital of Sweden during 1734–36, providing information of both suppliers and consumers within the private sector of the educational market, as well as of the practice and functions of private education in early modern time.
