Determination of residual quantity of tetracycline antibiotics in shrimp pool water by UPLC‐HRMS method
Authors: Giang Le Truong , Thien Tran Lam Thanh 
Published: February 2020

AbstractIn Vietnam, antibiotics have been intensively used in daily life, especially in aquaculture. Therein, tetracyline antibiotics including tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and demeclocycline have been primarily harnessed in shrimp farming. However, the abuse of these compounds in farming has detrimentally affected the environment as well as human's health. Moreover, the relative complication associated with water sample matrix of shrimp farming readily have an effect on analysis results. Therefore, in this study, we have developed an analytical method for determination of tetracycline antibiotics in shrimp farming water samples by ultra high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry detector (Q‐Orbitrap). The optimized separation was achieved with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1 % formic acid at pH 2.6 and methanol, reversed phase C18 column (1.7 μm, 2.1×100 mm) operated at 40 °C with a gradient time of 11.0 min (0‐95 % methanol) at a flowrate of 0.3 mL/min. By means of using SPE Oasis HLB, optimization of pH loading samples and utilzing EDTA as a competitive ligand to form complexes with Ca and Mg, recoveries of the tetracycline compounds ranged from 87.9 % to 109.2 %. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the method were 0.05 μg/L and 0.15 μg/L, respectively.
Assessing Nutritional Condition of Mule Deer Using a Photographic Index

Published: February 2020

ABSTRACTUnderstanding nutritional condition of animals can provide insight into underlying drivers of population dynamics. To estimate nutritional condition, indices require capture or mortality of animals to obtain measurements of body fat. Advances in technology provide an opportunity to acquire estimates of nutritional condition in a noninvasive way if ocular estimates can be validated. We developed and evaluated a noninvasive, visual index of nutritional condition for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) intended to be applied to camera‐trap images or videos. Our index was based on the visibility of 4 skeletal regions that are covered in varying amounts of subcutaneous fat depending upon the nutritional condition of the animal. We compared the visual index of nutritional condition to estimates of percent ingesta‐free body fat (IFBFat) obtained from ultrasonography and physical palpation of captured mule deer (n = 89) in western Wyoming, USA, in December 2015, March 2016, and November 2018. Our visual index of nutritional condition related positively to IFBFat (r2 = 0.41). Although further refinement may be warranted to increase predictive power of visual estimates, use of visual approaches to estimate nutritional condition can enhance knowledge that can be gained with a minimal budget, or where more invasive approaches are not possible. © 2020 The Wildlife Society.
AdS Q-soliton and inhomogeneously mass-deformed ABJM model
Authors: Ahn Byoungjoon , Hyun Seungjoon , Kim Kyung Kiu , Kwon O-Kab , Park Sang-A 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
We study dual geometries to a deformed ABJM model with spatially dependent source functions at finite temperature. These source functions are proportional to the mass function m(x) = m0 sin kx and its derivative m′(x). As dual geometries, we find hairy black branes and AdS solitons corresponding to deconfinement phase and confining phase of the dual field theory, respectively. It turns out that the hairy AdS solitons have lower free energy than the black branes when the Hawking temperature is smaller than the confining scale. Therefore the dual system undergoes the first order phase transition. Even though our study is limited to the so-called Q-lattice ansatz, the solution space contains a set of solutions dual to a supersymmetric mass deformation. As a physical quantity to probe the confining phase, we investigate the holographic entanglement entropy and discuss its behavior in terms of modulation effect.
Constructing SU(N) fractional instantons
Authors: González-Arroyo Antonio 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
We study self-dual SU(N) gauge field configurations on the 4 torus with twisted boundary conditions, known as fractional instantons. Focusing on the minimum non-zero action case, we generalize the constant field strength solutions discovered by ‘t Hooft and valid for certain geometries. For the general case, we construct the vector potential and field strength in a power series expansion in a deformation parameter of the metric. The next to leading term is explicitly computed. The methodology is an extension of that used by the author for SU(2) fractional instantons and for vortices in two-dimensional Abelian Higgs models. Obviously, these solutions can also be seen as self-dual configurations in ℝ4 having a crystal structure, where each node of the crystal carries a topological charge of 1/N .
Anxiety and depression in women with urinary incontinence using E-health
Authors: Hansson Vikström Nils , Wasteson Elisabet , Lindam Anna , Samuelsson Eva 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis
Previous studies have found high prevalence rates of anxiety and depression in women with urinary incontinence (UI). This study investigates the prevalence in women who had turned to eHealth for treatment of UI and identifies possible factors associated with depression.

Methods
We analyzed data from two randomized controlled trials evaluating eHealth treatment for UI, including 373 women with stress UI (SUI), urgency UI (UUI), or mixed UI (MUI). We used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and defined a score of ≥8 as depression or anxiety. The ICIQ-UI-SF questionnaire was used to score incontinence severity. Logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with depression and anxiety.

Results
Women with UUI or MUI were older than women with SUI, mean age 58.3 vs 48.6 years (p = <0.001). Four out of five participating women had a university education. The prevalence of anxiety and depression in women with SUI was 12.4% and 3.2% respectively. In women with MUI/UUI, 13.8% had anxiety and 10.6% had depression. In multivariate analyses, the odds ratio of having depression was 4.2 (95% CI = 1.4–12.3) for women with MUI/UUI compared with SUI when controlling for other risk factors.

Conclusion
The odds of depression in women with MUI/UUI were increased compared with SUI. The prevalence of anxiety and depression was considerably lower than reported in large cross-sectional surveys. Socioeconomic differences may partly explain this finding, as the use of eHealth still is more common among highly educated women.
Postpartum sexual function; the importance of the levator ani muscle
Authors: Roos Anne-Marie , Speksnijder Leonie , Steensma Anneke B. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis
Pelvic floor muscle function plays an important role in female sexual functioning. Smaller genital hiatal dimensions have been associated with sexual dysfunction, mainly dyspareunia. On the other hand, trauma of the levator ani muscle sustained during childbirth is associated with increased genital hiatus, which potentially can affect sexual functioning by causing vaginal laxity. This study aims to determine the association between levator hiatal dimensions and female sexual dysfunction after first vaginal delivery.

Methods
This is a secondary analysis of a prospective observational study. Two hundred four women who had a first, spontaneous vaginal delivery at term between 2012 and 2015 were recruited at a minimum of 6 months postpartum. Thirteen pregnant women were excluded. We analyzed the association of total PISQ-12 score, as well as individual sexual complaints (desire, arousal, orgasm and dyspareunia), with levator hiatal dimensions at rest, with maximum Valsalva and during pelvic floor muscle contraction as measured by 4D transperineal ultrasound. Statistical analysis was performed using linear regression analysis and Mann-Whitney U test.

Results
One hundred ninety-one women were evaluated at a median of 11 months postpartum. There was no significant association between total PISQ-12 score and levator hiatal dimensions. Looking at individual sexual complaints, women with dyspareunia had significantly smaller levator hiatal area and anterior-posterior diameter on maximum Valsalva. By using multivariate logistic regression analysis however we found dyspareunia was not independently associated with levator hiatal dimensions.

Conclusions
After first vaginal delivery sexual dysfunction is not associated with levator hiatal dimensions as measured by 4D transperineal ultrasound.

AbstractBackgroundWe developed augmented fluoroscopic bronchoscopy (AFB) for the localization of small pulmonary nodules. Here, we review the results of 100 consecutive cases of AFB localization performed in our institute in order to evaluate its efficacy, safety, and procedural details.MethodsThis study was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Between July 2018 and September 2019, a total of 100 patients with 124 small lung nodules underwent AFB localization with dye marking and/or microcoil placement. All localizations were performed in a cone‐beam computed tomography examination room followed by thoracoscopic resection within 3 days.ResultsThe mean nodule size was 9.7 mm, and the mean distance from the pleural space was 18.6 mm. Sixty‐three patients received dye marking only, and 37 patients received microcoil placement with/without additional dye marking. The mean bronchoscopy duration was 10.4 min, and the mean fluoroscopy duration was 3.4 min. The mean radiation exposure (expressed as the dose‐area product) was 3140.8 μGy × m2. The AFB procedures were successful in 94 patients [augmented fluoroscopy discrepancy (n = 2), incomplete C‐arm confirmation (n = 3), microcoil unlooping (n = 1)]; of those, 91 received successful marker‐guided resection [invisible dye (n = 2), failed nodule resection with first wedge (n = 1)]. The mean length of postoperative stay and chest drainage was 4.2 and 2.9 days, respectively.ConclusionsThe AFB technique is a safe and reproducible alternative for localizing small pulmonary nodules, and various localization strategies can be implemented for different nodule locations and resection plans.
The risk and consequences of multiple breadbasket failures: an integrated copula and multilayer agent-based modeling approach

Published: February 2020

AbstractClimate shocks to food systems have been thoroughly researched in terms of food security and supply chain management. However, sparse research exists on the dependent nature of climate shocks on food-producing breadbasket regions and their subsequent cascading impacts. In this paper, we propose that a copula approach, combined with a multilayer network and an agent-based model, can give important insights on how tail-dependent shocks can impact food systems. We show how such shocks can potentially cascade within a region through the behavioral interactions of various layers. Based on our suggested framework, we set up a model for India and show that risks due to drought events multiply if tail dependencies during extremes drought is explicitly taken into account. We further demonstrate that the risk is exacerbated if displacement also takes place. In order to quantify the spatial–temporal evolution of climate risks, we introduce a new measure of multilayer vulnerability that we term Vulnerability Rank orVRank. We find that with higher food production losses, the number of agents that are affected increases nonlinearly due to cascading effects in different network layers. These effects spread to the unaffected regions via large-scale displacement causing sudden changes in production, employment and consumption decisions. Thus, demand shifts also force supply-side adjustments of food networks in the months following the climate shock. We suggest that our framework can provide a more accurate picture of food security-related systemic risks caused by multiple breadbasket failures which, in turn, can better inform risk management and humanitarian aid strategies.
Age differences in night-time metabolic rate and body temperature in a small passerine
Authors: Andreasson Fredrik , Nord Andreas , Nilsson Jan-Åke 
Published: February 2020

AbstractSpending the winter in northern climes with short days and cold ambient temperatures (Ta) can be energetically challenging for small birds that have high metabolic and heat loss rates. Hence, maintaining body temperature (Tb) in Ta below thermoneutrality can be energetically costly for a small bird. We still know little about how increased heat production below thermoneutrality affects the level at which Tb is maintained, and if these patterns are age specific. To test this, we measured subcutaneous body temperature (Ts) and resting metabolic rate (RMR) simultaneously in blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) during winter nights in Ta’s ranging from 25 to − 15 °C. RMR increased below the lower critical temperature (LCT, estimated at 14 °C) and was 6% higher in young (birds in their first winter) compared to old birds (birds in their second winter or older). The higher RMR was also mirrored in higher Ts and thermal conductance (C) in young birds, which we suggest could be caused by age differences in plumage quality, likely driven by time constraints during moult. Reduction in nightly predicted Tb was modest and increased again at the coldest ambient temperatures, suggesting that either heat retention or heat production (or both) improved when Ta reached levels which are cold by the standards of birds in our population. Our results show that levels of heat production and Tb can be age specific. Further studies should address age-specific differences on quality, structure, and thermal conductivity of plumage more explicitly, to investigate the role of variation in insulation in age-linked metabolic phenotypes.
Kardiogener Schock
Authors: Zilberszac Robert , Heinz Gottfried 
Published: February 2020

ZusammenfassungKardiogener Schock (KS) ist ein Zustand kritischer Endorganhypoperfusion aufgrund eines kardialen Versagens. Zum Bild des klassischen KS gehören ein systolischer Blutruck < 90 mmHg, eine Lungenstauung, Nierenversagen, ischämische Hepatitis (Schockleber) sowie die klinischen Zeichen der Zentralisierung (Zyanose, kühle Extremitäten). Allgemein akzeptierte hämodynamische Cutoffs sind ein Herzzeitindex < 2,2 (l/min)/m2sowie ein pulmonalkapillärer Verschlussdruck > 15 mmHg. Es gibt auch eine sogenannte nichthypotensive Velaufsform des KS mit erhaltehem Blutdruck.Die bei weitem häufigste Ursache des KS ist nach wie vor das durch ausgedehnten Myokardinfarkt ausgelöste Pumpversagen und die Mortalitätsrate konnte dank breiter Verfügbarkeit der primären PCI auf ca. 40–50% gesenkt werden. Bei der akuten PCI im infarktbedingten KS soll nach derzeitigem Kenntnisstand nur das schuldige Koronargefäß wiedereröffnet werden.Weitere wichtige Ursachen sind mechanische Infrarktkomplikationen wie Papillarmuskelruptur, Ventrikelseptumruptur oder Ruptur der freien Wand (i. e. die Perikardtamponade), Myokarditis und Kardiomyopathien im fortgeschrittenen stadium, sowie Klappenerkrankungen, vor allem die hochgradige Aortenklappenstenose.In der Diagnostik des KS spielen Anamnese, klinische Untersuchung, EKG und vor allem die Echokardiographie und die Herzkatheteruntersuchung eine entscheidende Rolle. Die Echokardiographie sollte immer vor der Herzkatheterdiagnostik durchgeführt werden, da sie bei Vorliegen mechanischer Komplikatonen das weitere Vorgehen (operativ vs interventionell) entscheidend beeinflusst. Bei Zeichen des KS in Gegenwart einer paradoxerweise guten Linksventrikelfunktion muss unbedingt an eine Papillarmuskelruptur gedacht werden, insbesondere wenn ein Lateralinfarkt vorliegt.Die medikamentöse Stabilisierung sollte primär mit Noradrenalin und Dobutamin erfolgen, beim Versagen konventioneller Therapiemaßnahmen kann heute auf mechanische Unterstützungsverfahren wie z.b ECMO oder Impella© zurückgegriffen werden. Die Frage inwieweit, bzw. welchen Patienten diese Verfahren einen Vorteil bieten können, ist derzeit Gegenstand laufender klinischer Studien.

Published: February 2020

AbstractElevated soil concentrations of antimony (Sb) and co-contaminants are frequently encountered where antimony has been mined on a large scale. For instance, the Xikuangshan antimony mine in central South China has sustained, over many centuries, dispersed and spatially variable input of toxic elements into the soil ecosystem. We utilized this unique environment to assess the impact of geochemical conditions on soil microbiology. Geochemical conditions were assessed by monitoring absolute and available fractions of toxic elements and disrupted soil properties. Soil microbiology was studied by high-throughput sequencing and statistical analysis, including principle component analysis and canonical correspondence analysis. Results show that Sb concentrations were ranged from 970 to more than 24,000 mg/kg. As concentrations were three times higher than the regional background values and ten times higher for Pb, 590 times higher for Cd and 30 times higher for Hg. About 5–10% of the total soil Sb was environmentally mobile. Microbial diversity was high, and soil properties such as pH, organic matter, iron and sulfate controlled the absolute microbial activity. We identified strong positive and negative correlations with specific bacterial taxonomic groups which show: (1) an intolerance of available fractions for all elements, e.g., Gemmatimonas, Pirellula, Spartobacteria; (2) a good tolerance of available fractions for all elements, e.g., Povalibacter, Spartobacteria; and (3) a mixed response, tolerating available Sb, Hg and Cd and inhibition by As, Pb, e.g., Escherichia/Shigella and Arthrobacter, and in reverse, e.g., Gemmatimonas and Sphingomonas. The site hosts great diversity dominated by Gram-negative organisms, many with rod (bacillus) morphologies but also some filamentous forms, and a wide range of metabolic capabilities: anaerobes, e.g., Saccharibacteria, metal oxidizing, e.g., Geobacter, chemoautotrophs, e.g., Gemmata, and sulfur reducing, e.g., Desulfuromonas. The bioremediation potential of Arthrobacter and Escherichia/Shigella for Sb control is highlighted.
The assessment of views on ageing: a review of self-report measures and innovative extensions
Authors: Klusmann Verena , Notthoff Nanna , Beyer Ann-Kristin , Blawert Anne , Gabrian Martina 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThis is a review of existing self-report measures for assessing views on ageing. It provides an overview of instruments, for which basic psychometric properties are available and describes them according to the purposes for which they are suitable. Literature search resulted in the inclusion of 89 instruments which were categorised along eight dimensions. The majority of measures focus on explicit cognitions about people’s own age and ageing or other (older) people. A substantial amount of tools account for the multidimensionality and multidirectionality of views on ageing, i.e. the idea that ageing is accompanied by both gains and losses in several different domains. To some extent, measures reflect that ageing is a long-term process and that views on ageing are malleable, rather than just stable traits. Cluster analysis revealed heterogeneity in instruments regarding the dimensions of Ecosystem, Balance, Stability, Dynamics, and Complexity. It becomes apparent, however, that approaches to measure views on ageing should be extended to more specifically target the implicit level as well as affective, physiological, and behavioural manifestations. Additionally, means for capturing views on ageing on the societal level and tools with a distinct time reference are needed. This is particularly important when one wants to account for the lifelong dynamics of views on ageing.

AbstractGiven a smooth closed oriented manifoldMof dimensionnembedded in$${\mathbb {R}}^{n+2}$$Rn+2, we study properties of the ‘solid angle’ function$$\varPhi :{\mathbb {R}}^{n+2}{{\setminus }} M\rightarrow S^1$$Φ:Rn+2\M→S1. It turns out that a non-critical level set of$$\varPhi$$Φis an explicit Seifert hypersurface forM. This gives an explicit analytic construction of a Seifert surface in higher dimensions.
Securing personal freedom through institutions: the role of electoral democracy and judicial independence
Authors: Berggren Niclas , Gutmann Jerg 
Published: February 2020

AbstractWe investigate empirically how electoral democracy and judicial independence relate to personal freedom. While judicial independence is positively and robustly related to personal freedom in all its forms, electoral democracy displays a robust, positive relationship with only two out of seven types of personal freedom (freedom of association, assembly and civil society; freedom of expression and information). Interaction terms and more refined indicators of the political system reveal that countries without elections or with only one political party benefit more from judicial independence than both democracies and multi-party systems without free elections.
Maultsby’s Rational Behavior Therapy: Background, Description, Practical Applications, and Recent Developments

Published: February 2020

AbstractIn this article we present Maultsby’s Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) as a unique and distinct, but underutilized form of cognitive-behavior therapy, including its origins, theory (with psychosomatic learning theory), basic concepts, and practical applications, as well as never before published recent developments. As readers will see, many of Maultsby’s concepts, while pioneering and beckoning the third wave, still remain fresh, validated by current cognitive neuroscience, and are very relevant to modern psychotherapeutic practice. We describe RBT’s valuable concepts and effective techniques in such a way that readers may readily start using them to complement and enhance any other form of cognitive behavior therapy. An article comparing RBT with REBT and CBT will follow.

Published: February 2020

AbstractIn Japan, Community-based integrated care systems are being built in response to a super-aged society and policies of de-institutionalization. In this paper, we present findings and discussion of our review about Japanese psychiatric home visit nursing services provided by Home Visit Nursing Stations (HVNS). We have examined documents, investigated the implementation rate and summarized findings of the surveys of home visiting services from 2006 to 2016. The number of users of psychiatric home visiting services during 2007 to 2015 increased from 13,532 to 52,203. From 2013 to 2015 there was a large increase in user numbers, from 31,248 to 52,208. The implementation rate of psychiatric home visiting also increased steadily from 35.5% in 2006 to 58.3% in 2016. These changes reflected the impact of policy on psychiatric service usage in Japan. We should be able to detect the outcome of psychiatric home visiting nursing in influencing patient’s quality of daily life and their recovery.
