AbstractThis study aimed to determine the effect of accelerated weathering on gloss, surface hardness and colour changes of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). Test samples were impregnated with Adolit KD‐5, Wolmanit CX‐8 and Celcure AC‐500 covered with cellulosic and polyurethane varnishes. The results showed that the values of surface hardness and gloss increased after accelerated weathering. While the surface hardness of Scots pine was increased for impregnated and polyurethane‐coated varnish, it decreased for impregnated and cellulosic varnish‐coated Scots pine after 1000 hours of accelerated weathering exposure. Copper‐based chemical impregnation and varnish coating developed the gloss of Scots pine specimens relative to the surface characteristics observed in single‐coated Scots pine specimens. While the most appropriate chemical was Celcure AC‐500 for surface hardness, it was Adolit KD‐5 for the gloss of Scots pine after 1000 hours of accelerated weathering exposure. Wood specimens impregnated prior to the application of varnish were more effective in stabilising the colour of Scots pine than Scots pine only coated with varnish. Polyurethane varnish‐treated Scots pine showed better colour stability for each partial and total accelerated weathering exposure period. The total colour changes were lowest for polyurethane varnish‐coated Scots pine impregnated with Celcure AC‐500 after 1000 hours of accelerated weathering exposure.

AbstractBackgroundThere is debate whether cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin (CMV‐Ig) is also needed for CMV prevention in heart transplant recipients in the era of good anti‐viral drugs.MethodsWe conducted a cost‐savings quality initiative on CMV‐Ig eventually leading to discontinuation of routine use of CMV‐Ig for CMV prevention. Subsequently, a retrospective cohort study was conducted, comparing patients in cohort I (CMV‐Ig plus anti‐viral drugs, 2013‐2015) to cohort II (anti‐virals alone, 2015‐2017). The medication acquisition costs and outcomes of CMV infection were assessed.ResultsThere were 39 total patients: 22/39(56%) in cohort I, with mean follow‐up of 35.14 ± 17.38 months and 17/39(44%) in cohort II, mean follow‐up of 19.12 ± 7.08 months. In cohort I, 5/22(22.7%) patients died from causes unrelated to CMV and 0/17 in cohort II died. There were 5/22(22.7%) patients in cohort I, and 2/17(9%) patients in cohort II that developed CMV infection (P = .508). Freedom from rejection was 81.8% (18/22) in cohort I, and 71% (12/17) in cohort II (P = .46), and 100% for allograft vasculopathy. There was significant reduction in medication acquisition cost following the protocol change of $260 839 or $15 343 per patient.ConclusionOur study demonstrated an acquisition cost savings with similar clinical outcomes utilizing anti‐viral CMV prophylaxis alone vs anti‐viral prophylaxis plus CMV‐Ig.
Cutaneous spindled follicle center cell lymphoma with abundant mucin: A diagnostic pitfall
Authors: Li Lin , Majerowski Jacquelyn , Sokumbi Olayemi 
Published: November 2019

AbstractPrimary cutaneous follicle center cell lymphoma is the most prevalent type of primary cutaneous B‐cell lymphoma and usually portends a favorable prognosis. Typically, the diagnosis can be rendered based on characteristic histopathologic features and immunohistochemical profile. Rarely, a diagnostically challenging variant with a predominant spindle morphology mimicking other malignant spindle cell neoplasms may be encountered. Even more unusual is the presence of a prominent myxoid stroma in this rare sarcomatoid variant of follicle center cell lymphoma. Herein, we present a case of a 52‐year‐old man with a slowly enlarging cyst‐like lesion on the chin with histopathologic examination revealing a malignant, predominantly spindled neoplasm within an abundant myxoid stroma. Following a broad panel of immunohistochemical stains, the strong positive staining of the spindle cells for LCA (CD45), CD20, and Bcl‐6 confirmed the diagnosis of follicle center cell lymphoma. We present this distinctive rare subtype of cutaneous follicle center cell lymphoma to increase awareness of this variant and to discuss challenging histopathologic mimics to consider while highlighting the utility of immunohistochemistry stains to avoid misdiagnosis.
915. HIERACIUM TOMENTOSUM
Authors: Hind Nicholas 
Published: November 2019

SummaryHieracium tomentosum L. (Compositae: Lactuceae: Hieraciinae) is illustrated and described, the account of the species providing a fairly full synonymy, reference to types and the complication of grexes indicated. Frequently appearing under the name of Hieracium lanatum (L.) Vill., issues with the historical naming of this species are highlighted, together with those of naming many of the European hieracia. The species has been in cultivation in the British Isles for just short of three hundred years, and is apparently only currently available from three suppliers. Cultivation and propagation requirements are discussed. The artist of the plate and the figure, Gustavo Surlo, is the youngest Margaret Mee Fellowship Programme Artist Scholar to have illustrated in Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Having won the Artist Scholarship for 2018, this is his first plate in the Magazine.
916. DORONICUM CAUCASICUM
Authors: Hind Nicholas 
Published: November 2019

SummaryDoronicum caucasicum M. Bieb. (Compositae: Senecioneae) is described and illustrated for the second time in the history of Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Critical examination and reading of the works in which the protologues were published has led to the conclusion that D. caucasicum was published earlier than D. orientale Hoffm., but it is highly likely that the two names were based on the same Adams collection that Adams had annotated as Doronicum orientale. The possibility of Doronicum L. being the sole genus in the recently proposed tribe Doroniceae Panero is discussed. The lack of any present infrageneric classification is commented upon, but this is probably due to insufficient characters in the multivariate analyses used, and where the limits are drawn in molecular analyses. Cultivation and propagation guidelines for the species are provided and currently availability of cultivars is outlined, as are likely pests and diseases.

SummaryHaplopappus paucidentatus Phil. (Compositae: Astereae: Machaerantherinae) is described and illustrated in colour and with a black and white text figure. Cultivation and propagation are discussed, most stocks better maintained using cuttings or layering. It is not apparently available commercially, but could be searched for under the ‘catch all’ name of H. glutinosus. Haplopappus Cass. is now recognized as a South American genus, considerably smaller than originally conceived by Hall in his major revision. It consists of 56 species in three subgenera, the largest, subgenus Haplopappus, contains 2 sections, section Haplopappus containing H. paucidentatus and H. glutinosus Cass. within which it has been included in several treatments.
Biogeographic classification of streams using fish community– and trait–environment relationships
Authors: Troia Matthew J. , McManamay Ryan A. 
Published: November 2019

AbstractAimPresent a hybrid biogeographic and environmentally constrained clustering approach to classify ~853,000 stream reaches in the eastern United States. Examine the frequency of stream typologies in the landscape relative to anthropogenic stressors to identify potential stream conservation needs.LocationEastern United States.MethodsFish communities at 956 least‐disturbed sampling reaches were characterized using taxonomic and functional composition of native species. Environmental variables summarized within stream reaches included stream discharge, channel gradient, hydrologic regime, summer water temperature and boundaries of freshwater ecoregions. Multivariate regression trees were used to relate environmental variables to fish communities while simultaneously developing taxa‐ and trait‐specific biogeographic classifications. We then overlaid stream classifications with indices of anthropogenic disturbances to evaluate rarity and risk of complete loss of natural representation of stream types.ResultsTaxonomically based classes represented a combination of ecoregional boundaries and environmental gradients, whereas temperature gradients were most important in differentiating functional composition. An optimal taxonomy‐based classification contained 13 classes and explained 26.4% of community variation, and the optimal trait‐based classification contained 6 classes, explaining 25.2% of community variation. Overlaying class maps with an anthropogenic disturbance index revealed substantial variation in the severity of degradation among classes relative to their abundance in the landscape, especially rare classes (i.e., large rivers and cold headwater systems).Main conclusionsWe demonstrate the value of integrating local, regional and historical biogeographic factors with taxonomic and functional characteristics of freshwater biota to classify ecosystems based on mechanistic biota–environment relationships. This approach is important to addressing the challenge of developing stream classifications that reconcile the environmental drivers of community trait composition with the constraints of biogeographic regionality at large spatial scales. Furthermore, the spatially explicit and high‐resolution maps disseminated here can uniquely inform management decisions regarding anthropogenic threats to the biodiverse freshwaters of the eastern United States.
Four‐year‐olds incorporate speaker knowledge into pragmatic inferences
Authors: Kampa Alyssa , Papafragou Anna 
Published: November 2019

AbstractHuman communication relies on the ability to take into account the speaker's mental state to infer the intended meaning of an utterance in context. For example, a sentence such as ‘Some of the animals are safe to pet’ can be interpreted as giving rise to the inference ‘Some and not all animals are safe to pet’ when uttered by an expert. The same inference, known as a scalar implicature, does not arise when the sentence is spoken by someone with partial knowledge. Adults have been shown to derive scalar implicatures in accordance with the speaker's knowledge state, but in young children this ability is debated. Here, we revisit this question using a simple visual world paradigm. We find that both 4‐ and 5‐year‐olds successfully incorporate speaker knowledge into the derivation of scalar inferences. However, this ability does not generalize immediately to non‐linguistic communicative contexts. These findings have important implications for the development of pragmatic abilities.
How diverse are national banking systems? An analysis on banking business models, profitability, and riskiness
Authors: Caterini Giacomo , Gaffeo Edoardo , Gobbi Lucio 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIn this paper, we apply an algorithm developed by Martin Weitzman to quantify the extent of diversity among the business models of financial intermediaries at an international level. In particular, we investigate the relationship between the diversity of the business models of EU national banking systems and their profitability and riskiness. We show how Weitzman's approach can be generally applied to the issue at hand; as a by‐product, the analysis allows us to assess whether the diversity among banking systems was affected by the imported systemic financial crises of 2007/8 as well as its domestic sequel centered on the sovereign debt crisis that occurred in 2010–12. The motivation for this paper is twofold. First, we provide an operational measure of the diversity of business models among banking sectors. Second, we enrich the economic literature relating to banking business models by providing a macro‐founded analysis. To this end, we highlight the range of diversity of national banking business models correlated with high performances in terms of profitability and riskiness.

AbstractAimArt therapy is a complex intervention that has mixed evidence for people with schizophrenia and scant research in early phase psychosis. Benefits appear to depend on level of engagement and more qualitative studies are needed to elucidate how it works and what outcomes to measure. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of a 13‐week Claymation art therapy group intervention for young adults with early phase psychosis, and to explore participants' experiences with the program and to identify outcome effects.MethodsThirteen participants completed the intervention in two cohorts. The participants' experiences were explored through qualitative thematic analysis of individual interviews postintervention and at 3‐month follow‐up.ResultsThe program had a 62% retention rate and an 80% attendance rate. Qualitative analysis of postintervention and 3‐month follow‐up interviews identified six themes that described program elements: (a) Claymation valued; (b) film screening fostered support; (c) getting to know each other through art; (d) connecting with others with lived experience; (e) opportunity to build skills; and (f) supportive facilitators. Five themes were identified as outcome effects from both time points: (a) stress relief; (b) self‐discovery; (c) pride in art; (d) confidence and hope; and (e) engagement in meaningful activity postintervention. Two themes were unique to the 3‐month follow‐up interviews: (a) Claymation was enabling and (b) showing my film.ConclusionsThis group Claymation art therapy intervention effectively engaged people with early phase psychosis and the qualitative analysis identified program elements and outcome effects that can be evaluated in future studies.
Serotoninergic pain modulation from the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) in chemotherapy‐induced neuropathy: The role of spinal 5‐HT3 receptors
Authors: Costa‐Pereira José Tiago , Serrão Paula , Martins Isabel , Tavares Isaura 
Published: November 2019

AbstractChemotherapy‐induced neuropathy (CIN) is a common complication of cancer treatment. Although CIN is treated with antidepressants that act at serotonin (5‐HT) reuptake, the mechanisms of serotoninergic modulation of nociceptive transmission during CIN remain unknown, namely as to the involvement of the rostroventromedial medulla (RVM) and the role of spinal 5‐HT3 receptors (5‐HT3R). Male Wistar rats were injected with the cytostatic paclitaxel or vehicle solution. One month after CIN induction, we first studied the activation of RVM neurons, and then the activation of the local serotoninergic neurons. Immunostaining of phosphorylated extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (pERK) indicated increased activation in paclitaxel‐injected animals. The double immunohistochemistry of pERK and tryptophan hydroxylase (TpH) showed higher expression of TpH and increased co‐localization of TpH and pERK of paclitaxel‐injected animals, indicating that CIN is associated with increased activation of serotoninergic RVM neurons. The 5‐HT content at the spinal dorsal horn assessed by HPLC was higher in paclitaxel‐injected animals. The immunohistochemical analysis of 5‐HT also showed increased expression at the superficial dorsal horn (laminae I‐II) of paclitaxel‐injected animals. The levels of 5‐HT3R detected by immunohistochemistry were higher in the superficial dorsal horn (laminae I‐II) of paclitaxel‐injected animals. The intrathecal administration of the 5‐HT3R antagonist ondansetron reversed mechanical and cold hypersensitivity in the von Frey and cold plate tests, respectively. The results indicate that CIN is associated with increased recruitment of descending 5‐HT‐mediated modulation from the RVM which affects the spinal serotoninergic system and probably accounts for pain hypersensitivity due to the pronociceptive role of spinal 5‐HT3R.
Fairness in Measurement and Selection: Statistical, Philosophical, and Public Perspectives
Authors: Zwick Rebecca 
Published: November 2019

AbstractSelection decisions have a major impact on our education, occupation, and quality of life, and the role of standardized tests in selection has always been a source of controversy. Here, I consider various definitions of fairness in measurement and selection—those emerging from within educational measurement and statistics, those from philosophy, and finally, those from the public. I use examples of public challenges to selection practices to illustrate the fact that technical and philosophical definitions of fairness do not align well with public concerns. I emphasize the importance of promoting awareness of existing standards, advocating for the fair use of testing and selection practices, and communicating in a candid and straightforward way when engaging with test takers and test users.

AbstractBackground and purposeThe efficacy of galcanezumab, a monoclonal antibody for migraine prevention, has been demonstrated in two pivotal trials in patients with episodic migraine.MethodsEVOLVE‐1 and EVOLVE‐2 were identical phase 3, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled studies in patients with episodic migraine. Mean migraine headache days per month at baseline was 9. Patients were randomized 2:1:1 to monthly injections of placebo, galcanezumab 120 mg/240 mg during the 6‐month double‐blind treatment period. Key efficacy outcomes were assessed in subgroups amongst patients for whom, previously, for efficacy and/or safety/tolerability reasons (i) one or more (≥1) preventives failed, (ii) two or more (≥2) preventives failed and (iii) preventives were never used, or used but not failed (no prior failure).ResultsIn an integrated analysis of EVOLVE studies, galcanezumab 120 mg/240 mg versus placebo led to larger overall mean (SE) reductions in monthly migraine headache days across 6 months in patients with prior preventive failures (P < 0.001): ≥1 failure: 120 mg: −4.0 (0.4); 240 mg: −4.2 (0.5); placebo: −1.3 (0.4); ≥2 failures: 120 mg: −3.1 (0.7); 240 mg: −3.8 (0.8); placebo: −0.5 (0.6). Similar results were observed amongst patients with no prior failure, but the placebo response was larger: 120 mg: −4.7 (0.2); 240 mg: −4.5 (0.2); placebo: −3.0 (0.2) (P < 0.001 versus placebo). Significant improvements were observed with galcanezumab versus placebo for ≥50% and ≥75% reduction in monthly migraine headache days.ConclusionIn patients with episodic migraine treated with galcanezumab, those with ≥1 or ≥2 prior preventive failures had significantly larger improvements, versus placebo, in efficacy outcomes. Similar results were observed in patients with no prior failure, with a larger placebo response.
Idiosyncratic momentum and the cross‐section of stock returns: Further evidence
Authors: Lin Qi 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIn this article, we evaluate the profitability and economic source of the predictive power of the idiosyncratic momentum effect, by using five popular asset pricing models to construct the idiosyncratic momentum. We show that all five idiosyncratic momentum strategies produce similar return predictability and consistently outperform the conventional momentum strategy in the cross‐sectional pricing of equity portfolios and individual stocks. This positive effect of idiosyncratic momentum on returns is consistent with the investment capital asset pricing model (CAPM). Further analysis reveals that the firm‐level idiosyncratic momentum effect cannot extend to the aggregate stock market.
Hansenula polymorpha Pex37 is a peroxisomal membrane protein required for organelle fission and segregation

Published: November 2019

Here, we describe a novel peroxin, Pex37, in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha. H. polymorpha Pex37 is a peroxisomal membrane protein, which belongs to a protein family that includes, among others, the Neurospora crassa Woronin body protein Wsc, the human peroxisomal membrane protein PXMP2, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial inner membrane protein Sym1, and its mammalian homologue MPV17. We show that deletion of H. polymorpha PEX37 does not appear to have a significant effect on peroxisome biogenesis or proliferation in cells grown at peroxisome‐inducing growth conditions (methanol). However, the absence of Pex37 results in a reduction in peroxisome numbers and a defect in peroxisome segregation in cells grown at peroxisome‐repressing conditions (glucose). Conversely, overproduction of Pex37 in glucose‐grown cells results in an increase in peroxisome numbers in conjunction with a decrease in their size. The increase in numbers in PEX37‐overexpressing cells depends on the dynamin‐related protein Dnm1. Together our data suggest that Pex37 is involved in peroxisome fission in glucose‐grown cells. Introduction of human PXMP2 in H. polymorpha pex37 cells partially restored the peroxisomal phenotype, indicating that PXMP2 represents a functional homologue of Pex37. H.polymorpha pex37 cells did not show aberrant growth on any of the tested carbon and nitrogen sources that are metabolized by peroxisomal enzymes, suggesting that Pex37 may not fulfill an essential function in transport of these substrates or compounds required for their metabolism across the peroxisomal membrane.
Contextual factors impacting feedback practices for non‐English L2 writing
Authors: Reichelt Melinda 
Published: November 2019

AbstractWithin the growing body of work on L2 writing, most of the literature on teacher feedback addresses issues related to writing in English, with relatively little literature focusing on feedback in other languages. Due to the sociolinguistic status of English versus other languages, the varying roles that writing can play in target‐language instruction, language‐specific factors, and the presence of heritage language learners in some classrooms, feedback on learners' writing in non‐English L2s differs in salient ways from that which instructors provide in ESL and EFL contexts. This article discusses these issues and provides suggestions for pedagogy as well as directions for future research.
