Sociology of Fear of Crime in Latin America
Authors: Kessler Gabriel , Otamendi Alejandra 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Independently of the varying national homicide indexes, the fear of crime affects all socio-political dimensions across Latin American countries and influences the agendas of political parties, security markets, and everyday life. This contribution presents an overview on the fear of crime and insecurity studies in the region, focusing on two main fields: fear of crime studies showcasing similarities and differences among Latin American countries in terms of the relationship between fear and victimization, gender, class, age, and community cohesion perceptions, and the socio-cultural dimension to this phenomenon, including media influences on the fear of delinquency, the role of the state, and the general climate of ontological insecurity.
Correlations Between Multi-plane vHIT Responses and Balance Control After Onset of an Acute Unilateral Peripheral Vestibular Deficit
Authors: Allum John H. J. , Honegger Flurin 
Published: July 2020

Objective:
Previous studies reported that balance deficits in pitch (sagittal) and roll (lateral) planes during stance and gait after onset of an acute unilateral peripheral vestibular deficit (aUPVD) due to vestibular neuritis are weakly correlated with deficits in commonly explored lateral canal vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) responses. Theoretically, stronger correlations with roll and pitch balance deficits could be expected for vertical canal VOR responses. Therefore, we investigated these correlations.

Setting:
University Hospital.

Study Design:
Retrospective case review.

Patients:
Thirty three patients examined on average 5 days following onset of aUPVD.

Main Outcome Measures:
Video head impulse test (vHIT) VOR gains in each vertical canal plane were converted to roll and pitch response asymmetries and correlated with patients’ roll and pitch balance control measured during stance and gait with body-worn gyroscopes mounted at lumbar 1 to 3.

Results:
Mean caloric canal paresis was 92 ± 12%. Deficit side lateral vHIT mean gain was 0.4 ± 0.12, anterior gain 0.44 ± 0.18, and posterior gain, greater, 0.69 ± 0.15. Lateral VOR response gain asymmetries (37.2 ± 11.0%) were greater than roll VOR asymmetries calculated from all four vertical canal vHIT gains (16.2 ± 10.2%, p < 0.0001) and correlated (R = 0.56, p = 0.002). Pitch gain VOR asymmetries were less (4.9 ± 9.9%, p < 0.0001). All gait, but no stance, trunk roll angular velocity measures were correlated (p ≤ 0.03) with VOR roll asymmetries.

Conclusions:
This report links roll balance control deficits during gait with roll VOR deficits and emphasises the need to perform anterior canal vHIT to judge effects of an aUPVD on balance control. Pitch VOR asymmetries were weakly affected by vestibular neuritis.
The Efficacy and Safety of DFN-15 for the Treatment of Migraine: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Studies
Authors: Deng Yili , Chen Yang , Peng Zeyan , Yang Heng 
Published: July 2020

Objectives
The efficacy of DFN-15 for pain control of migraine remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the influence of DFN-15 versus placebo on pain control in migraine patients.

Patients and Methods
We search PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library databases through November 2019 for randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of DFN-15 versus placebo on pain control in migraine patients. This meta-analysis is performed using the random-effects model.

Results
Three randomized controlled trials are included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with the control group in migraine patients, lasmiditan treatment shows a positive impact on pain freedom at 2 hours (risk ratio [RR], 1.96; 95% confidence interval, 1.61–2.40; P < 0.00001), headache response at 2 hours (RR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.25–1.57; P < 0.00001), and pain freedom at 24 hours (RR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.33–2.62; P = 0.0003), but has no obvious influence or no substantial impact on no or mild disability level (RR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.97–1.52; P = 0.09) or nausea (RR, 2.42; 95% CI, 0.53–11.01; P = 0.25). In addition, lasmiditan seems to result in the increase in dizziness (RR, 7.33; 95% CI, 1.83–29.30; P = 0.005) and paresthesia (RR, 5.17; 95% CI, 2.08–12.86; P = 0.0004).

Conclusions
DFN-15 treatment may be effective and safe for pain control in migraine patients.
The impact of divestitures on shareholder wealth – The DACH case
Authors: Teschner Nils , Paul Herbert 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to study the impact of divestitures on shareholder wealth. This study covers selloffs of publicly traded companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH region) during the period 2002–2018. It aims to understand the overall effect of selloffs on shareholder wealth as well as the impact of important influencing factors.Design/methodology/approachThis study is part of capital market studies which investigate shareholder wealth effects (abnormal returns) using event study methodology. To determine the significance of abnormal returns, a standardized cross-sectional test as suggested by Boehmer et al. (1991) was applied. The sample consists of 393 selloffs of publicly traded companies with a deal value of at least EUR 10m.FindingsThe findings confirm the overall positive impact of selloffs on shareholder wealth. The average abnormal return on the announcement day of the sample companies amounts to 1.33%. The type of buyer, the relative size of the transaction as well as the financial situation of the seller in particular seem to influence abnormal returns positively.Originality/valueThis study investigates shareholder wealth creation through selloffs in the DACH region, a largely neglected region in divestiture research, but now very relevant due to increasing pressure of active foreign investors. Sophisticated statistical methods were used to generate robust findings, which are in line with the results of similar studies for the US and the UK.
Moving hands in classroom assemblages: puppet play in a post-world
Authors: Daniels Karen Dianne 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to propose a reading of children’s small toy/puppet play that takes account of bodily movements within classroom assemblages. The researcher/author created representations of episodes of activity that focused on children’s ongoing bodily movements as they followed their interests in one Early Years classroom in England.

Design/methodology/approach
By drawing a contrast between a traditional logocentric interpretation of puppet play and an embodied theorisation, this paper provides a way of understanding young children’s literacy practices where these are seen as generated through bodily movement and affective atmospheres within classroom assemblages.

Findings
Analysis suggests that affective atmospheres were produced by the speed, slowness, dynamics and stillnesses of children’s hand movements as they manipulated the small toys/puppets. Three interrelated contributions are made that generate further understandings of embodied meaning making. First, this paper theorises relations between hand movements, materials and affective atmospheres within classroom assemblages. Second, the technique of analysing still shots of hand movements offers a way of understanding the semiotic and affective salience of hand movement and stillness. Finally, the paper offers a methodology for re-examining taken-for-granted pedagogical practices such as puppet play.

Originality/value
Together these contributions re-explore literacy as an embodied and affective endeavour, thereby countering logocentric framings of early literacy.
Comparative effects of repeatedly heated cooking oils on tissue lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in cholesterol-fed Sprague Dawley rats
Authors: Chacko Chinu , Thankappan Rajamohan 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to compare the effects of repeatedly heated coconut oil, mustard oil and sunflower oil on antioxidant status in cholesterol-fed Sprague Dawley rats.Design/methodology/approachThe test oils were heated at 210 ± 10°C for 15 h. Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into six groups of six animals each. In total, 15% fresh/heated oils and 1% cholesterol were mixed with the experimental diet and fed to the animals for 60 days.FindingsChemical analysis revealed that repeated heating of oils resulted in changes in fatty acid composition and elevated lipid peroxidation, the effects being lower in heated coconut oil. Body weight gain significantly decreased in heated coconut oil (p= 0.02), heated mustard oil (p= 0.022) and heated sunflower oil (p= 0.001) fed animals. Malondialdehyde level was significantly increased (p= 0.001) in tissues of heated oils fed animals. Concentration of protein oxidation products was significantly increased (p= 0.001) in heated oils fed animals. Activities of antioxidant enzymes were decreased (p= 0.001) in heated oils fed animals. Total thiols were decreased (p= 0.001) in tissues of animals that were fed heated oils. Animals that were fed heated mustard oil and heated sunflower oil showed lower antioxidant levels and higher oxidation products when compared to those fed heated coconut oil.Originality/valueStudies comparing the effects of thermally oxidized oils that vary in fatty acid composition are rare. The effects of fresh and heated oils that vary in fatty acid constitution, namely, coconut oil, mustard oil and sunflower oil, in cholesterol-fed rats are studied.

Published: July 2020

PurposeThis research aims to explore the perspectives of the key actors in the New Zealand construction industry towards BIM adoption. Specifically, four themes are examined, including what BIM is; BIM knowledge and understanding; benefits of BIM adoption; and challenges/barriers to BIM adoption.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach using 21 semi-structured interviews with industry experts was adopted.FindingsThe results raise a question concerning whether the New Zealand construction industry needs a unique definition of BIM to achieve a clear and consistent understanding amongst construction practitioners. It was found out that most of the construction practitioners in New Zealand are not well aware of BIM, especially the contractors, QSs, supply chain companies and the SMEs. Fourteen potential benefits and ten barriers/challenges to BIM adoption were identified. Individually, time-saving was considered as the most benefit of BIM adoption while BIM understanding was suggested as the most significant barrier by all the interviewees.Originality/valueThe research provides valuable insights into BIM understanding as well as recommendations regarding BIM adoption in New Zealand. The results could be considered baseline information for the companies and government to have effective strategies towards BIM adoption. Furthermore, it confirms that characteristics such as benefits and barriers to BIM adoption amongst different countries could be similar. Therefore, it could be useful to analyse the studies, strategies and practices of the pioneer countries in BIM adoption for the implementation.
Impact of physiotherapeutic methods on urinary incontinence in the elderly
Authors: Frontczak Monika , Ciemna Natalia , Kędziora-Kornatowska Kornelia 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
Urinary incontinence is one of the most important health problems for people over 65 years of age. It is defined as involuntary and uncontrolled loss of urine. This paper aims to present a contemporary view on the effects of physiotherapeutic procedures in combating urinary incontinence. Physiotherapeutic procedures were compared: pelvic floor muscle exercises, physical therapy and biofeedback (BF) to demonstrate their effectiveness in managing urinary incontinence in the elderly.

Design/methodology/approach
The databases Pubmed and GoogleScholar have been searched for articles on the impact of interventions – physiotherapeutic procedures on the effectiveness of the treatment of urinary incontinence in the elderly.

Findings
Pelvic floor muscle exercises are effective in the treatment of urinary incontinence, strengthen muscle strength and improve patients' quality of life. A long-lasting, systematic and individual training program with a physiotherapist is the most effective. BF helps to intensify the therapeutic effect of exercise but also allows you to achieve good results as an independent treatment method. Positive effects are also noticeable in physical therapy, electrostimulation and magnetotherapy are very effective. Physiotherapeutic procedures have a positive effect in the treatment of urinary incontinence in the elderly. However, further research is needed to clarify the most effective methods.

Originality/value
This paper offers many ways to deal with urinary incontinence in the elderly using physiotherapeutic procedures, thus helping to improve the quality of life of those affected by urinary incontinence.
Comparison between standard single chamber versus dual chamber low glucose degradation product peritoneal dialysis fluids
Authors: Vareesangthip Kornchanok , Vongsanim Surachet , Fan Stanley , Davenport Andrew 
Published: July 2020

AbstractDual chamber (DC) peritoneal dialysis (PD) dialysates contain fewer glucose degradation products (GDPs), so potentially reducing advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), which have been reported to increase inflammation and cardiovascular risk. We wished to determine whether use of DC dialysates resulted in demonstrable patient benefits. Biochemical profiles, body composition, muscle strength, and skin autofluorescence measurements of tissue AGEs (SAF) were compared in patients using DC and standard single chamber dialysates. We studied 263 prevalent PD patients from 2 units, 62.4% male, mean age 61.8 ± 16.1 years, 78 (29.7%) used DC dialysates. DC patients were younger (55.9 ± 16.4 vs. 64.2 ± 15.4 years), and more had lower Davies comorbidity score (median 1 (0‐1) vs. 1 (0, 2)), slower peritoneal transport (D/P creatinine 0.67 ± 0.12 vs. 0.73 ± 0.13), greater extracellular water‐to‐total body water (ECW/TBW) ratio (0.46 ± 0.05 vs. 0.42 ± 0.06), all P < .001, whereas there were no differences in the duration of PD (median (IQR) 19 (8‐32) vs. 14 (8‐23) months), residual renal function (Kt/Vurea 0.71 ± 0.71 vs. 0.87 ± 0.82), urine volume (642 (175‐1200) vs. 648 (300‐1200) mL/day), hand grip strength (26.9 ± 10.5 vs. 24.9 ± 10.7 kg), C‐reactive protein (4(1‐10) vs. 4(2‐12) mg/L), and SAF (median 3.60 (3.02, 4.40) vs. 3.50 (3.00, 4.23)) AU. In our cross‐sectional observational study, we were not able to show a demonstrable advantage for using low GDP dialysates over conventional glucose dialysates, in terms of biochemical profiles, residual renal function, muscle strength, or tissue AGE deposition. More patients using low GDP dialysates were slower peritoneal transporters with higher ECW/TBW ratios.
Tropomyosin and alpha‐actinin in teleost rodlet cells
Authors: DePasquale Joseph A. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractRodlet cells are a distinctive pear‐shaped cell type unique to the epithelium of teleost fishes. Thick submembranous smooth muscle‐like cortex, or fibrous capsule, envelopes the rodlet cell. The cortex undergoes contraction resulting in the expulsion of intracellular contents through an apical pore and out into the extracellular environment. The present study evaluated the distribution of tropomyosin in rodlet cells. In addition, distribution of alpha‐actinin was revisited in a previous study using a modified immunostaining protocol. Alpha‐actinin was localized to the fibrous capsule predominantly in a partial fibrillar pattern reminiscent of dense plaques of smooth muscle. In contrast, tropomyosin was localized as dot‐ and patch‐like accumulations within the cortex. Tropomyosin was also found as a closely packed arrangement of intensely stained dots at the apical pore of rodlet cells, distinct from its location in the cortex. The findings support a smooth muscle‐like nature to the rodlet cell cortex and suggest a novel role for tropomyosin in capping the apical pore.

Published: July 2020

AbstractBackgroundBased on subjective experience, patients can identify research priorities important for health services research. A systematic method for priority setting has been developed by the James Lind Alliance.ObjectiveThis article reviews the literature on the research priorities of patients, caregivers and health‐care professionals and presents the prioritized research themes and prioritization methods used.Search strategyThree electronic databases were searched on 22 May 2018. The search was not limited to any time period or language.Inclusion criteriaThe included studies reported the identification and prioritization of research priorities involving patients, relatives and caregivers. Each included paper addressed a specific ICD‐coded health problem, and at least one‐third of the sample involved in the prioritization process was affected by the health problem.Data extraction and synthesisThe 10 top‐ranked research priorities were included in the thematic analysis. With an inductive approach, a system of identified themes and subthemes was developed from the research priorities. Each research priority was assigned to one research theme.Main resultsThe priority lists of 34 publications involving 331 research priorities were included. Nine main themes represent the content of the research priorities. The most frequently represented main themes are ‘Treatment’, ‘Patients’ and ‘Health condition’. The distribution of the research priorities varied depending on the health conditions and prioritization methods.Discussion and conclusionsThis review provides a comprehensive overview of the overarching research themes in research priorities of affected individuals. The results can guide future patient‐oriented research.
Never underestimate a non‐healing extraction socket
Authors: Adegun O.K. , Basu I. , Sadiq Z. , Jawad S. , Jay A. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractA 73‐year‐old man presented with a history of a non‐healing socket associated with persistent pain and swelling and enlarged submandibular lymph nodes 2 months after a mandibular implant extraction. His symptoms persisted despite repeated antibiotic therapy. Biopsy from the non‐healing extraction socket and core needle biopsy (CNB) of the right level I lymph node was initially reported as a poorly differentiated carcinoma as it expressed CK7 only. Further investigation with PET‐CT imaging revealed FDG avidity above and below the diaphragm with the left axillary lymph node, the most prominent and accessible. A CNB of the left axillary lymph node revealed a high‐grade vasoformative neoplasm positive for CD31, CD34, ERG and CK7 culminating in a diagnosis of epithelioid angiosarcoma. The unusual CK7 staining prompted a re‐evaluation of the incisional biopsy from the non‐healing extraction socket and CNB of the right level I lymph node. Unexpectedly, both lesions showed similar immunohistochemical profile to the left axillary lymph node prompting a definitive diagnosis of metastatic epithelioid angiosarcoma for the non‐healing extraction socket and associated lymph node. The patient received palliative chemotherapy in view of the disseminated disease at the time of diagnosis but subsequently died of his disease.This case report raises the awareness of morphological mimics of carcinoma such as the epithelioid variants of many sarcomas and their tendency to aberrantly express cytokeratin markers. It also demonstrates the importance of clinical–radiological–pathological correlation preferably in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) setting.

Published: July 2020

PurposeThe Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank (SSACB) was established to identify environmental, lifestyle and genetic risk factors for non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) in adults (20–74 years old) living in a suburban area of Shanghai with rapid urbanisation.ParticipantsTwo of eight suburban district were purposely selected according to participant willingness, health service facilities, population, geographic region and electronic medical record system. From these suburban districts, four communities were selected based on economic level and population size. At stage three, one-third of the committees/villages were randomly selected from each community. All residents aged 20–74 years old were invited as study participants.Findings to dateThe baseline data on demographics, lifestyle and physical health-related factors were collected using a face-to-face questionnaire interview. All participants completed physical examinations and had blood and urine tests. Blood and urine samples from these tests were stored in a biobank. From 6 April 2016 through 31 October 2017, we conducted face-to-face interviews and clinical examinations in 44 887 participants: 35 727 from Songjiang District and 9160 from Jiading District. The average age of participants was 56.4±11.2 years in Songjiang and 56.6±10.5 years in Jiading. The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia was 34.0%, 8.2% and 11.1%, respectively.Future plansIn-person surveys will be conducted every 5 years. For annual tracking, baseline data was linked to the local health information system, which was composed of an electronic medical record system, a chronic disease management system, a cancer registry system, an infectious disease report system and a death registry system. The data of the SSACB cohort is located in the School of Public Health, Fudan University. International and domestic collaborative research projects are encouraged and inherent in the project.
