Published: April 2020

Context
A variety of factors have been linked to the occurrence of anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACLI), including sex, familial factors, and genetic variations.

Objective
To find the genetic loci associated with ACLI and explore the genetic mechanism of ACLI in order to provide a genetic basis for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of patients with ACLI.

Design
Cross-sectional study.

Setting
Hospital.

Patients or Other Participants
Data from 101 Chinese Yunnan Han patients with ACLI and 110 Yunnan Han individuals without ACLI (control group) were collected.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
The single nucleotide polymorphisms of COL1A1 rs1800012, COL5A1 rs12722 and rs13946, COL12A1 rs970547 and rs240736 and the rs1800787, rs1800788, rs1800789, rs1800790, rs1800791, and rs2227389 in the β-fibrinogen (β-fib) promoter region were analyzed using restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing detection, and their genetic associations with ACLI were assessed.

Results
Single nucleotide polymorphisms of COL1A1 rs1800012, COL5A1 rs12722 and rs13946, and the rs1800789 and rs1800791 in the β-fib promoter region showed no difference between patients with ACLI and control participants, but the changes of COL12A1 rs970547 and rs240736 and the rs1800787, rs1800788, rs1800790, and rs2227389 genotypes in the β-fib promoter region were associated with ACLI. Furthermore, the rs970547 allele and genotype frequencies in male ACLI patients were different from the control group (P &lt; .05): the frequencies of the rs970547 A and G alleles in the patients were 71.9% and 28.1%, respectively, and in the control group were 58.8% and 41.2%, respectively. The frequencies of AA, AG, and GG genotypes in the patients were 49.3%, 45.2%, and 5.5%, respectively, and in the control group were 27.5%, 62.7%, and 9.8%, respectively, suggesting that male carriers of rs970547 A and rs970547 AA were at high risk of ACLI.

Conclusions
Males with the rs970547 A allele and rs970547 AA genotype of COL12A1 may be at high risk for ACLI. Low rs1800787 TT and high rs1800788 CT, rs1800790 AG, and rs2227389 CT frequencies as well as high TGA* of rs1800790, rs1800791, and rs2227389 in the β-fib promoter region may be genetic risk factors related to ACLI.
Study of visfatin expression in acne patients in tissue and serum
Authors: Samir Nesrin , Alyafrasi Rasha M. , Ashour Sara S. , Shalaby Suzan 
Published: April 2020

Background:
Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous units, of multifactorial pathogenesis, one of which could be an adipokine such as visfatin.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to study visfatin expression both in lesional skin and serum, of acne patients versus healthy controls. The secondary aim was to study the relationship of visfatin levels with dyslipidemia/metabolic syndrome.

Methods:
This study included 30 patients with moderate and severe acne vulgaris and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Serum and tissue visfatin were estimated by enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay. Clinical and laboratory examinations were done to assess the anthropometric data and various criteria of metabolic syndrome.

Results:
Tissue and serum visfatin levels were significantly higher in patients as compared to healthy controls. Tissue visfatin levels were significantly higher than its serum levels in both patients and controls. Serum visfatin was significantly higher in overweight individuals. No correlations were found between tissue and serum visfatin levels in both patients and controls. Moreover, serum and tissue visfatin levels did not correlate to any of the lipid profile parameters or criteria of metabolic syndrome in acne patients.

Limitations:
The study had a small sample size and did not localize the exact source of tissue visfatin. Polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS was not evaluated.

Conclusion:
Visfatin is an important proinflammatory adipokine, with significantly higher expression in acne patients. Tissue rather than serum visfatin might play a key role in acne.
The Distance from a Rank Projection to the Nilpotent Operators on
Authors: Cramer Zachary 
Published: April 2020

AbstractBuilding on MacDonald’s formula for the distance from a rank-one projection to the set of nilpotents in $\mathbb {M}_n(\mathbb {C})$, we prove that the distance from a rank $n-1$ projection to the set of nilpotents in $\mathbb {M}_n(\mathbb {C})$ is $\frac {1}{2}\sec (\frac {\pi }{\frac {n}{n-1}+2} )$. For each $n\geq 2$, we construct examples of pairs $(Q,T)$ where Q is a projection of rank $n-1$ and $T\in \mathbb {M}_n(\mathbb {C})$ is a nilpotent of minimal distance to Q. Furthermore, we prove that any two such pairs are unitarily equivalent. We end by discussing possible extensions of these results in the case of projections of intermediate ranks.

Published: April 2020

Desde o início do século XX, quando a bebida começou a surgir no país, até hoje, o principal atrativo dos comercias de
cerveja consiste na imagem da mulher. Este estudo tem como objetivo verificar se esse consagrado atrativo realmente exerce
influência sobre o comportamento de compra dos consumidores. Como metodologia, a pesquisa realizada foi descritiva e
quantitativa, caracterizando-se como levantamento ou survey. Para possibilitar o alcance do objetivo proposto,aplicou-se um
questionário auto administrado, validado por meio de um pré-teste com 309 consumidores de cerveja com idade superior
a 18 anos. A amostra foi selecionada por meio de amostragem não probabilística por conveniência e com uma equação de
Levine et al. (2013), utilizada em situações em que não se conhece o desvio-padrão amostral nem a proporção populacional
do universo investigado. Como resultado da pesquisa, verificou-se a eficácia da imagem da mulher em propagandas de
cerveja, especialmente diante do público masculino. Além disso, nota-se uma tendência de as consumidoras mulheres terem
uma percepção mais positiva sobre comerciais de cerveja que ilustradas com homens.

Authors: Ward Dianne Stanton , Saunders Ruth P. , Pate Russell R. 
Published: April 2020

Part of the Physical Activity Intervention Series, Physical Activity Interventions in Children and Adolescents provides information on current levels of youth physical activity and presents a basic understanding of the issues associated with it. The book offers a clear and reader-friendly overview of theories of behavior change that have been used in developing physical activity interventions in a variety of settings and methods for program evaluation. Specific recommendations for physical activity from various professional and health organizations are included as well. The book also provides
– descriptive epidemiology of youth physical activity that helps identify the changes in activity as children age;
– insights into the potential role of the family and the community in providing physical activity opportunities for youth;
– guidance for the development of collaborative relationships among agencies and organizations to promote physical activity in the community; and
– a review of available instruments for measuring physical activity in youth populations, including self-report instruments and step counters.
Practical application of the information covered in Physical Activity Interventions in Children and Adolescents is demonstrated through real-world interventions that have been implemented in various settings. The programs were selected based on their demonstrated effectiveness, potential for success, or unique features. Strengths and weaknesses of each intervention are highlighted. In addition to the presentation of existing programs, guidelines for the development of new programs are presented. Sample worksheets serve as valuable tools in evaluating and designing interventions in areas where proven programs are not yet available.
The text follows a three-part progression. Part I provides an orientation to activity in young people, describing how to change behavior and introducing the settings in which such behavior change programs might be developed. In Part II, documented interventions are examined for programs in schools, community organizations, and home and health care settings. Part III explores intervention design, assisting those who want to design their own interventions for specific populations. Descriptions of program evaluation, including useful measurement instruments, are detailed as well.
Principles and Practice of Resistance Training
Authors: Stone Michael H. , Stone Meg , Sands William A. 
Published: April 2020

Principles and Practice of Resistance Training represents a true breakthrough in planning and monitoring strength training programs. This research-based book details how to systematically examine the physical, physiological, and biomechanical parameters associated with crafting resistance training programs to improve sport performance and strength and power in athletes. The authors bring together more than 100 collective years of teaching, conducting research, and coaching national- and international-level athletes to share their unique insights concerning adaptations to strength and conditioning.
The text is written in a manner that challenges professionals while remaining accessible to advanced coaches. It begins by presenting readers with an understanding of basic science. This scientific foundation allows readers to formulate a sound training process that is more likely to produce the desired short- and long-term results. Next, the text examines how to test, monitor, and evaluate adaptations to various types of training programs. It emphasizes the significance of appropriately monitoring training programs to identify elements of the program to adjust so the goals of clients or athletes are more effectively and efficiently achieved. Finally, the authors discuss exercise selection and present a practical example so readers can learn to apply the information in the text to build their own training programs. Each chapter is written in a “stand-alone” manner so that readers can refer back to the material as needed.
Principles and Practice of Resistance Training also explores key questions that currently have no clear, scientifically proven answers. For these issues, the authors offer reasoned, speculative explanations based on the best available information and data--including anecdotal evidence-- intended to stimulate additional observation and research that will eventually offer a clearer understanding and resolution of the issues involved. In sharing their personal experiences as coaches and research scientists, the authors are able to address issues that are not normally dealt with in academic programs.
Principles and Practice of Resistance Training is far more than a general guide for strength training. It is an in-depth exploration of the science behind the training. Armed with the scientific understanding and the tools to put that information into practice, you will be able to develop training programs that help your athletes or clients excel.
An LES-based airborne Doppler lidar simulator and its application to wind profiling in inhomogeneous flow conditions
Authors: Gasch Philipp , Wieser Andreas , Lundquist Julie K. , Kalthoff Norbert 
Published: April 2020

Abstract. Wind profiling by Doppler lidar is common practice and highly useful in a wide range of applications.
Airborne Doppler lidar can provide additional insights relative to ground-based systems by allowing for spatially distributed and targeted measurements.
Providing a link between theory and measurement, a first large eddy simulation (LES)-based airborne Doppler lidar simulator (ADLS) has been developed.
Simulated measurements are conducted based on LES wind fields, considering the coordinate and geometric transformations applicable to real-world measurements.
The ADLS provides added value as the input truth used to create the measurements is known exactly, which is nearly impossible in real-world situations.
Thus, valuable insight can be gained into measurement system characteristics as well as retrieval strategies. As an example application, airborne Doppler lidar wind profiling is investigated using the ADLS.
For commonly used airborne velocity azimuth display (AVAD) techniques, flow homogeneity is assumed throughout the retrieval volume, a condition which is violated in turbulent boundary layer flow.
Assuming an ideal measurement system, the ADLS allows to isolate and evaluate the error in wind profiling which occurs due to the violation of the flow homogeneity assumption.
Overall, the ADLS demonstrates that wind profiling is possible in turbulent wind field conditions with reasonable errors
(root mean squared error of 0.36 m s−1 for wind speed when using a commonly used system setup and retrieval strategy for the conditions investigated).
Nevertheless, flow inhomogeneity, e.g., due to boundary layer turbulence, can cause an important contribution to wind profiling error and is non-negligible.
Results suggest that airborne Doppler lidar wind profiling at low wind speeds (<5ms-1) can be biased, if conducted in regions of inhomogeneous flow conditions.

Abstract. Most scenarios from integrated assessment models (IAMs) that
project greenhouse gas emissions include the use of bioenergy as a means to
reduce CO2 emissions or even to achieve negative emissions (together
with CCS – carbon capture and storage). The potential amount of CO2 that can be removed from the
atmosphere depends, among others, on the yields of bioenergy crops, the land
available to grow these crops and the efficiency with which CO2
produced by combustion is captured. While bioenergy crop yields can be
simulated by models, estimates of the spatial distribution of bioenergy
yields under current technology based on a large number of observations are
currently lacking. In this study, a random-forest (RF) algorithm is used to
upscale a bioenergy yield dataset of 3963 observations covering
Miscanthus, switchgrass, eucalypt, poplar and willow using climatic and soil
conditions as explanatory variables. The results are global yield maps of
five important lignocellulosic bioenergy crops under current technology,
climate and atmospheric CO2 conditions at a 0.5∘×0.5∘ spatial resolution. We also provide a combined “best
bioenergy crop” yield map by selecting one of the five crop types with
the highest yield in each of the grid cells, eucalypt and Miscanthus in most cases. The
global median yield of the best crop is 16.3 t DM ha−1 yr−1 (DM – dry matter). High
yields mainly occur in the Amazon region and southeastern Asia. We further
compare our empirically derived maps with yield maps used in three IAMs and
find that the median yields in our maps are > 50 % higher than
those in the IAM maps. Our estimates of gridded bioenergy crop yields can be
used to provide bioenergy yields for IAMs, to evaluate land surface models
or to identify the most suitable lands for future bioenergy crop
plantations. The 0.5∘×0.5∘ global maps for
yields of different bioenergy crops and the best crop and for the best crop
composition generated from this study can be download from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3274254 (Li, 2019).

Quand la vérification générale s’invite au municipal : nouveaux enjeux ou vieilles ambiguïtés ?
Authors: Mévellec Anne , Donatien Veika 
Published: April 2020

Au Canada, le contrôle des comptes publics est pris en charge par la fonction de vérification générale. Si cette dernière existe depuis longtemps dans le système parlementaire, elle n’a été imposée dans les grandes villes québécoises que depuis le début des années 2000. Dans cet article, nous proposons de revenir sur la mise en oeuvre de ce nouveau rôle municipal à la lumière des principaux défis de la vérification générale déjà identifiés dans la littérature. Ces derniers concernent particulièrement sa raison d’être, son indépendance et son autonomie de fonctionnement. La question est ainsi de savoir si, en s’invitant au palier municipal, la vérification générale a rencontré de nouveaux enjeux ou plutôt amené avec elle des ambiguïtés déjà repérées ailleurs. Grâce à une analyse documentaire, l’examen des pratiques municipales, plus particulièrement dans les villes de Gatineau, de Saguenay et de Trois-Rivières, apporte une réponse nuancée. D’une part, les ambiguïtés relatives à la nature même de la vérification générale se trouvent maintenant dans les villes comme dans d’autres contextes parlementaires. D’autre part, puisque les règles du jeu du parlementarisme bipartisan ne s’appliquent pas entièrement dans les municipalités à l’étude, la relation entre le maire et le vérificateur général s’avère centrale – reflétant ainsi un système politique local québécois centré sur la figure du maire.
Pap Test Practice and Barriers of Nurses in Bandung, West Java
Authors: Suantika Putu Inge Ruth , Hermayanti Yanti , Kurniawan Titis 
Published: April 2020

The lack of interest from the public and health workers, such as nurses to carry out a pap test, is one of the triggers of cervical cancer cases. The purpose of this study was to identify the implementation of pap tests and barriers of nurses in Bandung, West Java. This study used a cross-sectional descriptive study design with a sample of 286 married nurses. Data collection was conducted during two months. The analysis was conducted by the Fisher exact test or chi-square test. The results showed that the level of education and religion had a significant relationship with the pap test behavior (p= 0,000; p= 0.031). The most perceived barrier was that respondents felt uncomfortable with the male examiners. So it was recommended to provide female examiners in the ob-gyn section in the hospitals and to improve the nurses' perceptions with pap test. Keywords: barrier, nurse, pap smear, practice Abstrak Perilaku dan hambatan pap smear pada perawat di Kota Bandung, Jawa Barat. Fenomena yang terjadi pada kasus kanker serviks adalah minimnya minat dari masyarakat bahkan petugas kesehatan seperti perawat untuk melakukan pap smear sebagai bentuk pencegahan kanker serviks. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi pelaksanaan pap smear serta hambatannya pada perawat di Kota Bandung, Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi deskriptif cross-sectional dengan jumlah sampel 286 perawat yang sudah menikah. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada Februari hingga Maret 2018. Analisis menggunakan fisher exact test atau chi-square test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pendidikan dan agama memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan perilaku pap smear (p= 0.000; p= 0.0301). Hambatan yang paling dirasakan adalah responden merasa kurang nyaman dengan pemeriksa laki-laki sehingga direkomendasikan untuk penyediaan pemeriksa perempuan pada bagian obgyn di rumah sakit serta memperbaiki persepsi perawat yang salah terhadap pap smear. Kata Kunci: hambatan, pap smear, perawat, perilaku
