Sustainability in the German School System: Inclusion of Minorities into the Teacher Education Workforce
Authors: Brunold Andreas
Published: May 2018

There is no doubt about the necessity for the inclusion and the integration of minority groups in German school system. Although there are different recognised politics and developments within the school policy of the 16 federal states in Germany, there are also common important political issues. While heterogeneity in minority groups is emphasised, the under-representation of minority groups in the education workforce can also be recognised. Of course, this can be seen not only as a matter of social justice, but also as a question of a responsible integration-policy by the (national) state, its political system, institutions, and culture. The present study outlines the problems and chances which are connected with the practical work of teachers with a migration background for the school service in Germany. In addition, examples of good practice in aspects of networks and mentoring, information and awareness-raising are indicated.
The Norwegian Twittersphere: Structure and Dynamics
Authors: Bruns Axel , Enli Gunn
Published: May 2018

This article takes a new approach to the comprehensive study of an entire national Twitter-sphere. It identifies, to the extent that this is possible with the data made available through Twitter’s Application Programming Interface (API), all accounts operated by Norwegian users and institutions, analyses patterns in their public profile information, and maps their follower/followee connections with each other. This provides new insights into the historical development of the Norwegian Twittersphere, its current network structure and the presence of diverse interests and issues amongst the nearly one million accounts within this community. Its findings also constitute important background information for future Twitter research that takes the familiar hashtag studies route: its observations enable such studies to filter their datasets for confirmed Norwegian accounts only, and to examine the presence of accounts with specific interest profiles, as determined by the present study, in their datasets.
Multidimensional Poverty Analysis of Urban and Rural Households in South Africa
Authors: Megbowon Ebenezer Toyin
Published: May 2018

The study profiled and compared household multidimensional poverty status and its determinants among urban and rural households in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, using information from a sample population of 3033 households interviewed from the Province during the General Household Survey conducted by the Statistics South Africa in 2014. Analytical techniques utilized include the recent multidimensional poverty index (MPI), descriptive statistics and Tobit regression. Findings reveal that multiple deprivations are found mostly in the rural area of the province; the multidimensional headcount is highest in the rural area, though the intensity of multidimensional poverty is almost similar in both geographical locations. The standard of living dimension is also the largest contribution to MPI in both locations. MPI has significant links with education attainment of household head, access to electricity and asset stock in both geographical locations, but is influenced by the gender of head, agriculture engagement and household monthly income in rural areas only. In order to improve households’ multidimensional poverty status in both urban and rural locations, there is the need to take into account some significant variables such as education of head, increase electricity subsidy coverage during winter period, asset accumulation and increase in households’ participation in agricultural activities, especially those residing in rural areas.
Dividend Payout, Retention Policy and Financial Performance in Commercial Banks: Any Causal Relationship?
Authors: Olarewaju Odunayo Magret , Migiro Stephen Oseko , Sibanda Mabutho
Published: May 2018

Dividend policy remains one of the top ten unresolved issues in corporate finance including in the banking sector. Hence, this study explores data from 250 commercial banks in 30 Sub-Saharan African countries to establish the causal relationship between the use of two major dividend policies in the sector and financial performance for the period 2006 to 2015. The empirical results of the vector error correction block exogeneity Wald test and Pairwise Granger causality test reveal that only retention policies Granger cause performance (ROA), even though both major policies posit a positive relationship with performance (ROA) in the Vector Error Correction Model estimate. Therefore, commercial banks in Sub Saharan Africa and also in the entire world should use their free cash flows wisely by exploring all available viable investment opportunities. By doing this, not only owners’ profit but wealth is fully maximised such that their survival, value creation, and future growth is fully justified.

Escritoras colombianas bajo la mirada del Bildungsroman, como escritura de construcción de identidad: Marvel Moreno y Albalucía Ángel
Authors: Rosas Consuegra Adriana
Published: May 2018

Hablar de Marvel Moreno y Albalucía Ángel en la historia literaria de mujeres en Colombia es recurrir a dos de sus máximas representantes. Por medio del Bildungsroman, Gynocritics y desde la perspectiva de la literatura comparada, nos acercamos a sus novelas En diciembre llegaban las brisas (1987) y Misiá señora (1982). El Bildgungsroman femenino contemporáneo bajo la formación de identidad es un campo que no ha sido suficientemente investigado desde la crítica literaria en América Latina. Y sus personajes, al mismo que presentan la formación del yo, desarticulan o cuestionan los discursos canónicos heredados.
Habitar en el lenguaje materno, estrategias femeninas contra el racismo en la literatura caribeña: el vestido/disfraz de Xica da Silva en Fe en disfraz (2009) de Mayra Santos-Febres
Authors: Peñaranda-Angulo Verónica
Published: May 2018

El siguiente trabajo analiza la estrategia de resistencia simbólico-discursiva que la autora Mayra Santos-Febres presenta en su novela Fe en disfraz (2009) con la inclusión y destrucción de un enigmático traje del siglo XVIII perteneciente a la figura histórica de Xica da Silva. Este objeto actúa como vaso comunicante entre la protagonista de la novela Fe Verdejo y el pasado esclavista, y permite la problematización de la representación de la autoridad femenina en términos de raza, clase y género dentro de los preceptos patriarcales. Con el fin de construir nuevos ordenes discursivos para contar experiencias femeninas, este artículo recurre a las discusiones de Judith Butler sobre la ley materna del lenguaje, las ideas de Luisa Muraro en relación con El orden simbólico de la madre y las apreciaciones sobre la figura de la Malinche de la feminista chicana Norma Alarcón.
La ironía re-visitada en sus dimensiones pragmáticas, comprensivas, discursivas y didácticas
Authors: Caro Lopera Miguel Ángel , Camargo Martínez Zahyra , Uribe Álvarez Graciela
Published: May 2018

El presente artículo de revisión examina 97 textos académicos, fundamentalmente en el ámbito hispanohablante, durante los últimos 25 años. Estos se agrupan en cuatro categorías: formas y funciones de la ironía (35 trabajos), comprensión de textos irónicos (17), la ironía en géneros discursivos específicos (30), e ironía y educación (15). Del análisis efectuado, salta a la vista que la ironía se re-visita conceptual y metodológicamente, lo que constituye un campo de investigación pródigo en perspectivas y prospectivas, susceptible de nuevos abordajes, por ejemplo, en el ámbito educativo.
La expresión “mano invisible” como no explicativa
Authors: Indavera Stieben Leandro Gastón
Published: May 2018

Para economistas como Arrow, Hahn y Tobin, por ejemplo, la expresión “mano invisible” es la contribución más importante hecha al pensamiento económico y es explicativa de los procesos económicos. En este artículo se proponen una serie de argumentos a fin de sostener que la expresión “mano invisible” de Adam Smith no es relevante en términos explicativos. En primer lugar, Smith es renuente a aceptar como explicativas expresiones que apelen a agentes invisibles e inteligentes para intentar explicar fenómenos naturales. Para analizar esto, se sugiere una lectura humeana de Smith, así como también una interpretación de la crítica por parte de Smith de Kepler y Descartes.
Dos concepciones del lenguaje: Wittgenstein y Chomsky en torno a la recursión como “buena” explicación de la naturaleza humana
Authors: Mota Sergio
Published: May 2018

En este artículo me propongo discutir si la propiedad de la recursión supone una buena explicación de la especificidad humana. Para ello, analizaré dos aproximaciones al estudio del lenguaje humano: las concepciones computacional y antropológica. La principal conclusión de este trabajo es doble. Por un lado, la recursión no es una buena explicación de la esencia humana. Por otro, lo que sí es específicamente humano es la construcción de una mitología, análoga a la metafísica, revestida en este caso con el lenguaje de la ciencia.
El mundo en la fenomenología de Heidegger. Una aproximación al mundo desde Los Prolegómenos Para Una Historia del Concepto de Tiempo
Authors: Esguerra Lozada María del Mar
Published: May 2018

Heidegger, en su obra de 1925, Prolegómenos Para Una Historia del Concepto de Tiempo, realiza una revisión de la propuesta fenomenológica frente a la tradición filosófica, rescatando los descubrimientos de esta investigación: la intencionalidad, la intuición categorial, y el sentido originario de lo «a priori», así como la importancia del trabajo de Husserl para el desarrollo de la investigación filosófica. El concepto de intuición categorial toma para Heidegger relevancia, y lo caracteriza dentro de su investigación. Lo que aquí pretendo hacer es presentar una interpretación de esta noción a partir de la idea de mundo como dimensión de la constitución de la aparición del ente. Como el mundo se presenta como un tema fundamental para la caracterización de la fenomenología Heideggeriana, intento esbozar una manera de aprehensión del mundo dentro de la ontología fundamental, por medio de la estructura del encontrarse, en alemán Befindlichkeit. Esto anterior, me permitirá analizar la particularidad de la fenomenología de Heidegger y, a la vez, mostrar las aproximaciones conceptuales entre Heidegger y Husserl, por medio de la revisión de dos conceptos: reflexión y epojé, pero siempre en relación al mundo.
Los límites de la idea de “tolerancia” en los escritos de Voltaire (1760–1770)
Authors: Ratto Adrián
Published: May 2018

Entre 1760 y 1770, Voltaire desarrolló una serie de actividades en defensa de la idea de “tolerancia”. El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar, a la luz de las críticas que el filósofo dirige a  Jean-Jacques Rousseau en el Sentiment des citoyens (1764), el alcance de dicho concepto en sus escritos durante esa década. Se demuestra que su posición con respecto al tema está atravesada por tensiones y que, en todo caso, de sus textos se desprende una idea de tolerancia limitada, que resulta difícil articular con la imagen que lo presenta como el “apóstol de la tolerancia”, una figura forjada en el mismo siglo XVIII, que se convirtió en un lugar común con el paso del tiempo.
Manuel Reyes Mate, Tratado de la injusticia
Authors: Ortega Narváez Onasis Rafael
Published: May 2018

Entre las razones por las que vale la pena estudiar este libro de Reyes Mate, quisiera adelantar dos: la primera, tiene que ver con la relación entre justicia y memoria. No hay justicia sin memoria afirma Mate, en una apuesta por pensar la justicia desde la memoria, asunto que me parece un reto filosófico y político para contextos como el colombiano. La segunda, consiste en el tratamiento que hace de la justicia; no estamos frente a un comentarista de los teóricos de la justicia sino de un examen crítico de las confusiones que llevan la reflexión filosófica a un callejón sin salida para responder a la injusticia.
Influencia de François Rabelais en la obra de Gabriel García Márquez
Authors: Toro Hernán
Published: May 2018

En la perspectiva de comprender mejor la obra de Gabriel García Márquez, podría ser de utilidad el estudio de las influencias literarias que el autor colombiano haya tenido. Se trata de una metodología forzosamente comparativa, aunque los elementos contrastados puedan no ser demasiado explícitos. De todas estas influencias, quizás la que ha recibido más crédito, confirmado hasta por el mismo autor, ha sido la de William Faulkner. Sin embargo, parecería que la de François Rabelais pudiera ser más determinante, inclusive si el mismo García Márquez la niega (o por lo menos le relativiza su importancia). En esta vía analítica propuesta, el presente artículo busca, de una parte, señalar y describir los elementos presentes en la obra de Gabriel García Márquez que pudieran explicar la influencia de la obra de François Rabelais, y, de otra, explorar elementos constatables en la obra no literaria del autor colombiano que podrían hacer pensar en el mismo influjo.
Nellie Campobello o la otredad salvaje. Acerca de Las manos de mamá
Authors: Paniagua Ramírez Karla
Published: May 2018

Se presentan los resultados de una exploración sobre la colección de relatos Las manos de mamá, de Nellie Campobello, con el objetivo de dar cuenta, al menos en parte, de la escasa divulgación del trabajo de dicha autora con relación a sus contemporáneos. Se concluye que esta obra acude al melodrama como género expresivo, con la consiguiente representación de opuestos, en los cuales Campobello asume un lugar simbólico que derivó en su exclusión, tanto literaria como editorial.
Tuning Transition Metal Carbides Activity by Surface Metal Alloying: Case Study on CO2 Capture and Activation
Authors: Lopez Marti , Broderick Luke , Carey John J , Vines Francesc , Nolan Michael , Illas Francesc
Published: May 2018

CO2 is one of the main actors in the greenhouse effect and its removal from the atmosphere is becoming an urgent need. Thus, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 capture and usage (CCU) technologies are intensively investigated as technologies to decrease the concentrationof atmospheric CO2. Both CCS and CCU require appropriate materials to adsorb/release and adsorb/activate CO2, respectively. Recently, it has been theoretically and experimentally shown that transition metal carbides (TMC) are able to capture, store, and activate CO2. To further improve the adsorption capacity of these materials, a deep understanding of the atomic level processes involved is essential. In the present work, we theoretically investigate the possible effects of surface metal doping of these TMCs by taking TiC as a textbook case and Cr, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ta, V, W, and Zr as dopants. Using periodic slab models with largesupercells and state-of-the-art density functional theory based calculations we show that CO2 adsorption is enhanced by doping with metals down a group but worsened along the d series. Adsorption sites, dispersion and coverage appear to play a minor, secondary constant effect. The dopant-induced adsorption enhancement is highly biased by the charge rearrangement at the surface. In all cases, CO2 activation is found but doping can shift the desorption temperature by up to 135 K.

The aim of this study was to plan the enterprises which apply greenhouse
vegetable farming in Mersin province by Game Theory (GT) approach. The main
material of this study consisted of survey data obtained from 163 greenhouse
vegetable producers in Mersin Province and the data included 2013-2014
production periods.
The average land size was determined as 14.47 da. According to
results, 22.70% and 77.30% of the producers were determined as risk takers
and risk averse, respectively. As a result of the production plans which were
applied according to Game Theory approach, the production pattern changed
according to the current state. Also, gross profit increased in the ratios of
15.55% and 8.46% for the producers who take and avoid risks, respectively.
Fungal communities associated with symptomatic leaves of naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lam.) in the Ecuadorian Amazon region
Authors: Dávila María Fernanda , Chaves-Acuña Wagner , Yánez Jeniffer
Published: May 2018

Fungal isolates were recovered from symptomatic leaves of naranjilla Solanum quitoense Lam. sampled in Pastaza province, an important production region in eastern Ecuadorian Amazon. Filamentous fungi were identified with molecular methods based on ITS and ribosomal DNA sequencing. Among 68 recorded fungi, the isolation of mycobiota resulted in 14 taxa. Diaporthe citri, D. schini, and Xylaria berteri were the most frequently isolated species. To our knowledge more than 90 % of taxa recovered in this study are reported for the first time in S. quitoense. Diversity indexes suggest that symptomatic tissues represent a moderately diverse reservoir for fungal species. The latter may act as a significant source of novel molecules with agronomic and pharmaceutical properties considering their capacity to survive within unhealthy foliar tissues. We also expect this study to facilitate the enforcement of biological control measures in Neotropical crops of commercial interest.

Automatic test suite generation for PMCFG grammars
Authors: Listenmaa Inari , Claessen Koen
Published: May 2018

We present a method for finding errors in formalized natural language grammars, by automatically and systematically generating test cases that are intended to be judged by a human oracle. The method works on a per-construction basis; given a construction from the grammar, it generates a finite but complete set of test sentences (typically tens or hundreds), where that construction is used in all possible ways. Our method is an alternative to using a corpus or a treebank, where no such completeness guarantees can be made. The method is language-independent and is implemented for the grammar formalism PMCFG, but also works for weaker grammar formalisms. We evaluate the method on a number of different grammars for different natural languages.

Yiddish in Helsinki and its Swedish component
Authors: Muir Simo
Published: May 2018

Yiddish has been spoken in Helsinki since 1850s when the Jewish Cantonist soldiers and their families were allowed to settle in the town. The first generations born in Helsinki had the possibility to attend heders and a Talmud-torah where religious subjects were conducted in Yiddish. In the wake of Yiddishizm many Yiddish-speaking societies were founded before and after the First World War. My research attempts an analysis of Helsinki Yiddish and a survey of Yiddish culture in Helsinki. The material used for this paper comprises both written and oral stories. Most Yiddish speakers in Helsinki have been bilingual. The over hundred years of coexistence with Finnish-Swedish has given Helsinki Yiddish its own distinctive character, which deserves to be recorded and studied. Especially unique is the interference of Swedish morphology with its peculiarities.

The article proposes a new interpretation of F. Liszt’s sonata h-moll through the lenses of dedication to R. Schumann. The dedication is interpreted as a conceptual word accumulating the author’s intention, establishing the logic of meaning generation in the composition. F. Liszt’s conception presupposing the dethronement of vain romantic impulses is considered from the viewpoint of historical evolution of the romantic style and in the context of F. Liszt’s esthetics. The argumentative basis of the study includes F. Liszt’s and R. Schumann’s critical articles. Condensing the verbal layer around the sonata they broaden the dialogue initiated in the dedication.

Just from the very beginning of its scenic image formation the flamenco genre was nourished by cantaors’ creative work and occupied a position at the intersection of folklore and author’s original interpretation. But, having achieved the level of the national brand, it could no longer stay within the limits of “somebody else’s word” from its own funds. Being a full participant of the dialogue with West European art, it continues to develop according to the demands of the epoch. The article shows what elements of flamenco function as texts and discovers the role of its artistic interpretation in meaning-generation processes.
EMBODIMENT OF THE ANIMA ARCHETYPE IN A. S. DARGOMYZHSKY’S OPERA “MERMAID”
Authors: Perich Olesya Valer'evna
Published: May 2018

The purpose of the article is to study the embodiment of the Anima archetype in A. S. Dargomyzhsky’s opera “Mermaid”. In the theory of C. G. Jung this archetype is associated with the erotic-emotional manifestation of the unconscious beginning of the male personality; it appears in the image of the opposite sex and symbolizes the initial ordering beginning. The use of analytical observations in this perspective helps to look differently both on the dramaturgy of the opera and on the interpretation of its central female character, which can be regarded as a particular manifestation of the Anima archetype in musical art.

Translatonomics: Teaching English for Economics through Translation Practice
Authors: Firda Nila Shafa , Susanto Teguh
Published: May 2018

This study aims to propose a method called Translatonomics to teach English for Economics through translation practice to encourage the students to understand English contextually. The participants are 25 students of Management and 25 students of Accounting study program. The research is conducted firstly to identify the ability of the students to understand English text about Economics and translate it into Bahasa Indonesia, then to introduce contextual translation from translating simple sentences, short paragraphs, and text. The result shows that most students still have high dependency on instant translation such as Google Translate and do not try to relate the context as they do not understand the text. Therefore, it is important to encourage the students to understand the text contextually and one of the ways is through translation practice. In Translatonomics, the translation practice section is divided into three parts: translating simple sentences, translating short paragraphs, and translating texts. On the first part, students are encouraged to translate English simple sentences about Economics. Then, on the second part, students are encouraged to translate English short paragraphs extracted from Economics texts. Finally, on the third part, students are encouraged to translate some Economics texts.

Of the three lines, two genotypes, NPT4 and NPT5, obtained high yields of 8.9-9.2 tonnes/ha, had growth duration of 103-110 days in the season of autumn and 130-135 days in the spring season. They exhibited dark green leaves, which were found to be adapted to intensification. They were resistant to major pests and diseases, and tolerant to major abiotic stress due to unfavourable conditions, as compared to the popular rice hybrids of Nhi Uu 868, Thien Nguyen Uu 9, and HYT100. The grain quality properties of NPT4 and NPT5 genotypes were also found to be good, identified as such due to their light aroma and amylose content of 15-16%. The genotype QP-5 exhibited a high grain quality and high yield of 6.5-7.0 tonnes/ha, with a growth duration of 105-110 days, and 125-135 days in autumn and spring seasons, respectively. The aromatic rice genotypes offered 10-12% amylose content and became more delicious as compared to the Bac Thom 7 variety.

Published: May 2018

Background/Objective:

To compare Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mortality rates and coinciding risk factors in rural and urban Texas populations.

Methods:

155 Texas counties were divided into 73 rural and 82 urban areas using the U.S. Census Bureau definition of rurality. Changes in age-adjusted AD mortality across these counties were calculated using a 7-year aggregation model from 2000–2006 and 2009–2015. Data pertaining to gender, race, education, obesity, diabetes, physical inactivity, and lithium concentrations in tap water were also collected from readily available databases.

Results:

Change in age-adjusted AD mortality was higher in rural counties (9.5±1.4) versus urban (5.9±1.1) over the time period examined. Similarly, obesity (30.2±0.2% ), diabetes (11.0±0.1% ), and physical inactivity (29.4±0.2% ) levels were significantly higher in rural populations compared to urban (29.1±0.2%, 9.7±0.1%, and 26.7±0.3, respectively). In contrast, the percent of population with some college education (40.1±0.7% ) was lower compared to urban (29.4±0.2% and 44.4±0.9%, respectively). Lithium concentrations in tap water was significantly lower in rural counties compared to urban (63.3±8.2 and 33.4±4.7μg/L, respectively). No significant differences were observed among females and however, we did find significant differences in the percent of African American and Hispanics. Correlational analysis uncovered a negative association between education status and AD mortality over time ( r = –0.17). Further analysis controlling for physical inactivity, education, and trace lithium concentrations results in a loss of statistical significance.

Conclusions:

AD mortality rates are higher in rural counties when compared to urban counties, and this may be linked to greater physical inactivity, obesity, and diabetes, as well as lower trace lithium levels in tap water.
Time Trends in the Prevalence of Neurocognitive Disorders and Cognitive Impairment in the United States: The Effects of Disease Severity and Improved Ascertainment
Authors: Akushevich Igor , Yashkin Arseniy P. , Kravchenko Julia , Ukraintseva Svetlana , Stallard Eric , Yashin Anatoliy I.
Published: May 2018

Background:

Trends in the prevalence of cognitive impairment (CI) based on cognitive assessment instruments are often inconsistent with those of neurocognitive disorders (ND) based on Medicare claims records.

Objective:

We hypothesized that improved ascertainment and resulting decrease in disease severity at the time of diagnosis are responsible for this phenomenon.

Methods:

Using Medicare data linked to the Health and Retirement Study (1992–2012), we performed a joint analysis of trends in CI and ND to test our hypothesis.

Results:

We identified two major contributors to the divergent directions in CI and ND trends: reductions in disease severity explained more than 60% of the differences between CI and ND prevalence over the study period; the remaining 40% was explained by a decrease in the fraction of undiagnosed individuals.

Discussion:

Improvements in the diagnoses of ND diseases were a major contributor to reported trends in ND and CI. Recent forecasts of CI and ND trends in the U.S. may be overly pessimistic.

Published: May 2018

Background:

Aggregation and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain is the main pathological change of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Decreased Aβ42 in the cerebrospinal fluid has been confirmed as a biomarker of AD; however, the relationship between plasma Aβ and cognitive impairment is currently unclear.

Objective:

The aim was to explore the relationship between plasma Aβ and cognitive impairment in a cross-sectional study.

Methods:

A total of 1,314 subjects (age above 40) from a village in the suburbs of Xi’an, China were enrolled between October 8, 2014 and March 30, 2015. A validated Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination and neuropsychological battery were used to assess cognition. Levels of plasma Aβ42 and Aβ40 were tested using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Relationship of plasma Aβ and cognitive impairment was analyzed using logistic regression analysis.

Results:

Of the enrolled subjects, 1,180 (89.80%) had normal cognition, 85 (6.47%) had possible cognitive impairment and 49 (3.73%) had probable cognitive impairment. Logistic regression analysis showed that the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio (OR = 4.042, 95% CI: 1.248–11.098, p = 0.012) and plasma Aβ42 (OR = 1.036, 95% CI: 1.003–1.071, p = 0.031) was higher in the possible cognitive impairment than that in the normal cognition group. Furthermore, the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio was higher in the possible cognitive impairment group than that in the probable cognitive impairment group (OR = 0.029, 95% CI: 0.002–0.450, p = 0.011).

Conclusions:

Levels of plasma Aβ42 and Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio were elevated in patients with possible cognitive impairment, indicating that plasma Aβ42 and Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio increases may be more pronounced in early stage of cognitive impairment.
Rare Variants in PLD3 Increase Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease in Han Chinese

Published: May 2018

Next-generation sequencing studies had reported that a rare coding variant p.V232M in PLD3 was associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and a two-fold increased AD risk in European cohorts. To test whether coding region variants of PLD3 were associated with AD in a large Han Chinese cohort, we performed sequencing to analyze all exons of PLD3, and demonstrated that rare variants p.I163M and c.1020-8G>A conferred considerable risk of late-onset AD (LOAD) in our cohort. Meanwhile, the previously reported p.V232M variant was identified in our AD group. These findings indicate that rare variants of PLD3 may play an important role in LOAD in northern Han Chinese.

Findings from recent Alzheimer’s disease prevention trials have shown subjects with increased dementia score based upon mid-life cardiovascular risk factors, to benefit from multi-domain intervention strategies to some extent. The effects of such interventions on cognitive functions remains yet to be well-established. This study is a secondary analysis of the MAPT study, 1,293 older subjects (mean age 75 years) with high CAIDE score (i.e., ≥6) were classified according to the four intervention groups: 1) multi-domain intervention plus placebo, 2) isolated supplementation with Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA), 3) combination of the two interventions, and 4) placebo alone. Linear mixed-model repeated-measures analyses were used to assess the cognitive changes according to various neuropsychological test scores between intervention groups compared to the placebo at 36 months from baseline. Compared to the placebo, group with multi-domain intervention in combination withn-3PUFA was found to show significant improvement in the delayed total recall test of the free and cued selective reminding test (FCSRT) (mean±standard error(SE) = 0.20±0.10) and MMSE orientation test (mean±SE = 0.15±0.06) at 36 months. Isolated multi-domain intervention group showed significant less decline in the MMSE orientation test (mean±SE = 0.12±0.06) compared to the placebo. There was significant less improvement (mean±SE = – 1.01±0.46) in the FCSRT free recall test in the n-3 PUFA intervention group compared to the placebo at 36 months. Our findings show high-risk subjects for dementia screened with CAIDE dementia score might benefit from multi-domain intervention strategies as in the MAPT study, particularly in the orientation and delayed recall domain.
