Published: December 2019

Abstract
Noise intensity is a dangerous stressor in the working environment of the textile industry that can have an impact on the decrease in hearing loss of workers. The decrease in hearing loss will disrupt the workers’ activities in their daily work. Textile industry workers exposed to noise while working every day will potentially be affected by a decrease in hearing loss. Activities that are constantly exposed to noise intensity can also result in a decrease in the quality of workers’ life. This research was conducted to prove the correlation between noise intensity and quality of life through hearing loss using path analysis. Path analysis can explain the correlation between variables indirectly. The research method was used namely analytic survey with the cross-sectional design. The population of the study was workers in 5 textile industries in Central Java Province, Indonesia. The number of subjects was determined based on purposive sampling, each industry was 40 people thus, and the total number was 200 people. The correlation was included independent variables namely noise intensity, work period and age; the mediator variable was a loss of hearing loss, and the dependent variable was quality of life. Path analysis was used as the statistical analysis with Stata 13 software at a significance level of 5%. The research results showed that there was a direct correlation between hearing loss and decreased the quality of life of workers (p = 0.026). The decrease in the quality of workers’ life was also influenced indirectly by noise intensity (p = 0.000) and age (0.012). The working period did not affect the decrease in quality of life (p = 0.210). Increased noise intensity can reduce hearing loss that decreases the quality of life.

Abstract
The method to make paving sample in this research was done by mixing fly ash, carbide waste, sand, and alkali activator in the form of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3), 8M and 12M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with ratio 1 : 2 as the binder, then it was pressed by using hydraulic press machine. The paving was made in the size of 20 cm x 10 cm x 6 cm with mix composition of 70% fine aggregate, 30% binder and activator from paving weight. The percentage of binder and activator was 65% and 35%, respectively. The curing was done by using wet burlap sack for about 28 days. After that, the compressive strength test was done. From the result of the compressive strength test of geopolymer paving sample can be concluded that the mixed test of carbide waste and fly ash (10 %: 90%) produced 34,6 MPa, and 39,8 MPa for its compressive strength.
Habitat use, interspecific competition and phylogenetic history shape the evolution of claw and toepad morphology in Lesser Antillean anoles
Authors: Yuan Michael L , Jung Catherine , Wake Marvalee H , Wang Ian J 
Published: December 2019

AbstractEcologically functional traits are the product of several, at times opposing, selective forces. Thus, ecomorphological patterns can be disrupted locally by biotic interactions, such as competition, and may not be consistent across lineages. Here, we studied the evolution of claws and toepads in relationship to macrohabitat (vegetation), use of structural microhabitat (perch height) and congeneric competition for two distantly related Lesser Antillean anole clades: the Anolis bimaculatus and Anolis roquet series. We collected univariate and geometric morphometric data from 254 individuals across 22 species to test the hypotheses that functional morphology should covary with both vegetation and perch height and that the presence of a competitor may disrupt such covariation. Our data showed predictable associations between morphology and macrohabitat on single-species islands but not when a congeneric competitor was present. The outcomes of competition differed between series, however. In the A. bimaculatus series, species with a sympatric congener diverged in claw and toepad traits consistent with functional predictions, whereas A. roquet series anoles showed either no association between habitat and morphology or the opposite pattern. Our results demonstrated that ecomorphological patterns across macrohabitats can be disrupted by competition-driven microhabitat partitioning and that specific morphological responses to similar ecological pressures can vary between lineages.

Abstract

Background
The weight-band dosing in tuberculosis treatment regimen has been implemented in clinical practice for decades. Patients will receive different number of fixed dose combination tablets according to their weight-band. However, some analysis has shown that weight was not the best covariate to explain variability of rifampicin exposure. Furthermore, the rationale for using weight-band dosing instead of flat-dosing becomes questionable. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the average and the variability of rifampicin exposure after weight-band dosing and flat-dosing.

Methods
Rifampicin exposure were simulated using previously published population pharmacokinetics model at dose 10–40 mg/kg for weight-band dosing and dose 600–2400 mg for flat-dosing. The median area under the curve (AUC0–24 h) after day 7 and 14 were compared as well as the variability of each dose group between weight-band and flat-dosing.

Results
The difference of median AUC0–24 h of all dose groups between flat-dosing and weight-band dosing were considered low (&lt; 20%) except for the lowest dose. At the dose of 10 mg/kg (600 mg for flat-dosing), flat-dosing resulted in higher median AUC0–24h compared to the weight-band dosing. A marginal decrease in between-patient variability was predicted for weight-band dosing compared to flat-dosing.

Conclusions
Weight-band dosing yields a small and non-clinically relevant decrease in variability of AUC0–24h.

Published: December 2019

Abstract

Background
Current evidence is insufficient to determine the contribution of stent grafts as treatment in partially thrombosed aneurysms or residual wall-adherent thrombi in arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) for haemodialysis. The overall purpose of this study was to analyse patency rates of post-interventional covered stent deployment in those cases. We also assessed if patency rates differed when fistulas were punctured through the stent during dialysis sessions.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective study between 2006 and 2014 analysing post-intervention primary patency rates using the Kaplan–Meier log-rank test. Multivariate Cox proportional regression models were performed to determine if cannulation within the stent graft area was a potential risk factor for occlusion, by adjusted hazard ratio (HR).

Results
A total of 27 procedures were included in the study. Primary patency rates (%) after stent deployment at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 72 months were, respectively: total 59, 32, 32, 21, 11 and 5; stent puncture 53, 21, 21, 16, 5 and 0; and no stent puncture 80, 80, 80, 40, 40 and 40. Cannulation through the stent graft was not significantly associated with increased risk of obstruction in multivariate analysis (HR = 3.01; P = 0.286).

Conclusion
Stent graft treatment may be a feasible procedure in partially thrombosed aneurysms and residual thrombi in AVF. Although fistulas punctured through the stent presented lower patency rates, this practice was not associated with a higher risk of obstruction. Giving the impossibility of comparing with similar approaches, further studies are needed to confirm or refute the advantages of this procedure.
Shot-gun proteomics: why thousands of unidentified signals matter
Authors: den Ridder Maxime , Daran-Lapujade Pascale , Pabst Martin 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has become a constitutional part of the multi-omics toolbox in yeast research, advancing fundamental knowledge of molecular processes and guiding decisions in strain and product developmental pipelines. Nevertheless, post-translational protein modifications (PTMs) continue to challenge the field of proteomics. PTMs are not directly encoded in the genome; therefore, they require a sensitive analysis of the proteome itself. In yeast, the relevance of post-translational regulators has already been established, such as for phosphorylation, which can directly affect the reaction rates of metabolic enzymes. Whereas, the selective analysis of single modifications has become a broadly employed technique, the sensitive analysis of a comprehensive set of modifications still remains a challenge. At the same time, a large number of fragmentation spectra in a typical shot-gun proteomics experiment remain unidentified. It has been estimated that a good proportion of those unidentified spectra originates from unexpected modifications or natural peptide variants. In this review, recent advancements in microbial proteomics for unrestricted protein modification discovery are reviewed, and recent research integrating this additional layer of information to elucidate protein interaction and regulation in yeast is briefly discussed.

Abstract
Outside of heart and lung transplantation, only few cases have been reported describing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) use in solid organ transplantation. We present a case of a staged combined heart–kidney transplant in which VA-ECMO was utilized after a complicated orthotopic heart transplantation to successfully complete the subsequent renal transplantation.
Invasive traits of veronicellid slugs in the Hawaiian Islands and temperature response suggesting possible range shifts under a changing climate
Authors: Sommer Rachel M , Cowie Robert H 
Published: December 2019

AbstractUnderstanding life history traits is important for assessing potential invasiveness, particularly in the context of the future spread of invasive species under climate change. A number of species of Veronicellidae have been introduced beyond their native ranges and have become invasive. Two of these species, Veronicella cubensis and Laevicaulis alte, are widespread in Hawaii, yet little is known of their life histories. This study of growth and reproduction and their relation to temperature in these two species was undertaken using laboratory stocks derived from individuals collected in Hawaii. More data were collected for V. cubensis than for L. alte because of difficulty maintaining the latter in the lab. Veronicella cubensis grew faster at 22 °C than at 27 °C. At 22 °C, the mean age at which V. cubensis first mated was 203 d, and the mean age when eggs were first laid was 226 d. Mating in V. cubensis lasted more than a day, and it took up to 4 d to lay an egg mass. Mating took less than a day in L. alte. No self-fertilization was recorded in V. cubensis, but a single L. alte individual maintained alone from hatching laid fertilized eggs. Sperm storage after a single mating in V. cubensis was estimated to last up to 6 months. In both species the time for eggs to hatch was shorter at 27 °C than at 22 °C. Hatchability was between 74 and 93%. Veronicella cubensis lived for at least 2 years and was estimated to produce at least 400 eggs over its life. Climate warming will probably lead to expansion of the ranges of V. cubensis and L. alte to higher elevations in Hawaii and elsewhere. Growth and reproduction will also be affected by a warming climate and therefore impact the success of these invasive species.

Abstract

Background
Adult intracranial ependymoma is rare, and the role for adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) is not well defined.

Methods
We used the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to select adults (age ≥ 22 years) with grade 2 to 3 intracranial ependymoma status postresection between 2004 and 2015 and treated with adjuvant RT vs observation. Four cohorts were generated: (1) all patients, (2) grade 2 only, (3) grade 2 status post–subtotal resection only, (4) and grade 3 only. The association between adjuvant RT use and overall survival (OS) was assessed using multivariate Cox and propensity score matched analyses.

Results
A total of 1787 patients were included in cohort 1, of which 856 patients (48%) received adjuvant RT and 931 (52%) were observed. Approximately two-thirds of tumors were supratentorial and 80% were grade 2. Cohorts 2, 3, and 4 included 1471, 345, and 316 patients, respectively. There was no significant association between adjuvant RT use and OS in multivariate or propensity score matched analysis in any of the cohorts. Older age, male sex, urban location, higher comorbidity score, earlier year of diagnosis, and grade 3 were associated with increased risk of death.

Conclusions
This large NCDB study did not demonstrate a significant association between adjuvant RT use and OS for adults with intracranial ependymoma, including for patients with grade 2 ependymoma status post–subtotal resection. The conflicting results regarding the efficacy of adjuvant RT in this patient population highlight the need for high-quality studies to guide therapy recommendations in adult ependymoma.
Probability Designs
Authors: Kukkonen Karin 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Probability Designs develops a comprehensive account of the predictions and probabilities at play in literature, in particular novels. Novels, it is argued, provide readers with a designed sensory flow in their plots, style, and relation to other texts. The model traces, based on research in predictive processing, how this designed sensory flow revises readers’ expectations and leads them to engage in exploratory thinking. The model is then embedded in a co-evolutionary account of how language, writing, and fictionality enable literary designer environments in which thought can be extended beyond the everyday. Literary form, as traced in probability designs, performs particular cognitive work in these designer environments.
Probability Designs
Authors: Kukkonen Karin 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The chapter discusses the assumptions behind the notion of ‘design’ in greater detail. It draws on arguments around intentionality, manuscript genetics, and the extended mind. Design is understood as the author’s engagement with the materials of pen and paper, but also the language and the characters that emerge in the creative process. The conceptualisation of design, then, unfolds between improvisation and planning, between intentions and the resistance that comes from the materials. The chapter concludes by developing a distinction between reading for intentionality and reading for design, which relates to recent discussions in cognitive narratology and literary studies.
An Elopement!
Authors: Kukkonen Karin 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In the chapters that follow, the second-order probability design is developed. The second-order probability design revolves around second-order predictions about predictions, and it is traced in embodied aspects of reading (II.1), readers’ sense of presence (II.2), sense of flow (II.3), and the metafictional nudges that the text provides (II.4).
The Dynamics of Presence
Authors: Kukkonen Karin 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The chapter discusses the phenomenon of readers’ sense of presence in the narrative. It argues that readers develop a sense of ‘being there’ predominantly through the integration of textual cues that evoke exteroceptive and interoceptive embodiment. The perception of bodily states from the outside (exteroception) and from the inside (interoception) is joined by the counterfactual richness of these embodied cues, enabling multiple engagements, as a second feature of ‘presence’. These features lead to a reconsideration of how cognitive narratology has conceived of presence, immersion, and absorption. Rather than the space of the fictional world, here the dynamic of designed sensory flow is foregrounded.
Metafictional Nudging
Authors: Kukkonen Karin 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The chapter makes the argument that the moments when the narrative refers to itself do not necessarily disrupt readers’ immersion and sense of flow. Movement between different diegetic levels in mise-en-abyme can unfold fluently, and the joint attention is usually maintained. Instances of metafiction and metanarration rather serve as ‘nudges’ in the second-order probability designs that redirect readers’ attention while maintaining it. Novels as distant in time from each other as Heliodorus’ Ethiopian Adventures and Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin deploy metafictional nudges in their second-order probability design, provoking readers without relinquishing sense of flow.
Harmony
Authors: Berg Christopher 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This chapter explores the harmonic resources of the instrument and builds upon the fingerboard harmony material in chapter 1. Playing homophonic textures on the guitar creates problems of smoothness and connection. Fernando Sor recognized this and provided rests between chords in his Op. 35, No. 11 and Op. 31, No. 20. Two arpeggio pieces of special harmonic interest are also included. This chapter challenges the widely accepted instruction that recommends the placing of all the left-hand fingers that are to form a chord at the same time, whether or not the notes of the chord are arpeggiated or struck simultaneously. This advice, repeated in almost every guitar method since the early 19th century, accounts for one of the reasons guitarists have difficulty performing convincing legato phrasing. The chapter presents alternative advice, the reasons behind it, and exercises to help develop this technical and artistic refinement.
Introduction
Authors: Brumbaugh Michael 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The introduction provides an overview of the scope and shape of the inquiry undertaken in The New Politics of Olympos. Additionally, it attempts to establish a new frame of reference for thinking about interactions between Kallimachos’ Hymns and the burgeoning Ptolemaic regime. The approach outlined here and throughout the book is meant to move outside the confines of formalist notions of genre and stereotypes of the scholar poet by reframing the analysis around the broader interplay between literature and political power in the Hellenistic world. Furthermore, the introduction orients readers toward a new approach to reading the six poems that make up Kallimachos’ Hymns intratextually—as a carefully arranged poetry book.
Zeus as a Paradigm for Dynastic Continuity
Authors: Brumbaugh Michael 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This chapter looks at ways in which the Hymn to Zeus jointly praises Zeus and the Ptolemaic kings. It takes as its starting point the scholarly consensus that associates this hymn with the first succession in the Ptolemaic dynasty. Against that historical context, it demonstrates that the standard myth of Zeus’ rise to power was ill suited to the Ptolemaic succession. Zeus was an important symbol for Ptolemy I Soter’s kingship, and of Makedonian kingship more broadly, but the god became king via a brutal cycle of oppression and usurpation that pitted father against son, as Hesiod’s Theogony famously recounts. Kallimachos decouples the god’s kingship from its violent origins in order to create a pro-dynastic discourse capable of quelling anxiety occasioned by Ptolemy II Philadelphos’ contested succession. The true measure of the poet’s success is that, by selectively calling attention to points of contention within the tradition and passing over others, he persuades his audience to accept his new Zeus unhesitatingly.
