The exercise of female sexuality between fantasy and discourse in the consumption of online pornography
Authors: Mesquita Mayte Cabral , Pinto Marcelo De Rezende 
Published: April 2020

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to understand how the consumption of online pornography runs through fantasy, discourse and the exercise of female sexuality.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the study analyzed a few information obtained from a secret group of the social media Facebook. Secondly, the research was developed based on the information gathered during the observation period; 11 in-depth interviews were conducted with women that participated in the aforementioned group. In order to analyze the data, the study used the French discourse analysis as methodological tool.FindingsIt was possible to realize that the consumption of pornographic content is motivated by curiosity, pursuit of variety and sexual fantasies, and it ends up strengthening stereotypes related to the concept of beauty and body standards. Also, the consumption of pornography can be seen as an important feature in the reformulation of perceptions and creation of senses related to pornography itself, pleasure, self-knowledge and in the constitution of the subjectivities of the consumers, despite the influence of the cultural context in which they are inserted into.Research limitations/implicationsThe consumption of online pornography can be seen as an important “social operator”; that is, the consumption of pornography reflects and refracts what is socially established as beautiful and adequate in terms of the human figure. The outcomes of this research lead to debates that can challenge standardized world perspectives, besides expanding the discussion of such consumption made by women.Originality/valueTaking into consideration the significant volume of pornography consumption and the high figures that this market indicates, one can notice that literature related to consumption studies has neglected this specific theme.
Supply chain and logistics controller – two promising professions for supporting transparency in supply chain management
Authors: Dobroszek Justyna 
Published: April 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to identify the occupational profiles of a logistics and a supply chain (SC) controller, both promising SC professions, examining the required competences and tasks undertaken while taking into account current trends in supply chain management and its wider dimensions.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a content analysis based on job advertisements for the position of logistics controller and SC controller. The collected material allowed the construction of an occupational competence mix model in the style of Cheetham and Chivers for the logistics and SC controller, and the identification of the level of competence of both professions, using the model proposed by Czapla. In addition, the analysis of the data was supplemented by use of the Anova test and a radar chart.

Findings
The SC and logistics controllers have a high degree of similarity in both the meta and core competences areas. Similarities also occur in the case of the analysed groups of tasks undertaken by these professions. Tasks in the areas of “definition” and “maintaining” prevail. The SC controller and the logistics controller are considered “engaged inspirers” because they have reached this level of professional competence. Both these professions can ensure an effective, sustainable and transparent SC through direct cooperation with the SC manager and/or logistics manager.

Research limitations/implications
This study uses a content analysis based on job advertisements addressed to the German market. These job advertisements are standardized, and therefore, provide only a general outline of the competences and tasks of the SC and logistics controllers.

Practical implications
The study provides information to practitioners by identifying the competences and tasks assigned to the SC and logistics controllers that are needed to improve the efficiency and transparency of the SC and its management. The research is an incentive for people involved in education to adapt changes in curricula in the business (accounting, controlling and logistics) and engineering (related to logistics) fields of study by creating courses based on SC controlling or/and logistics controlling.

Originality/value
The study shows the current, necessary changes for SC professionals (e.g. the appointment of a SC controller and/or logistics controller) resulting from changes in business and the challenges for SC management (e.g. transparency and sustainability).

In addition, students participated in book groups focusing on the ideas of citizen science explicitly. The researchers used surveys, student assessments and interviews to assess the extent to which students' ideas changed.FindingsWhile the data reveal the students' conceptions of scientist and citizen both expanded, there was greater change in their conceptions of what it means to be a scientist.Originality/valueThe authors argue that the expansion of ideas of science is important for enacting critical citizenship.
Enhanced optimal trained hybrid classifiers for aging assessment of power transformer insulation oil
Authors: Singh Harkamal Deep , Singh Jashandeep 
Published: April 2020

Purpose
As a result of the deregulations in the power system networks, diverse beneficial operations have been competing to optimize their operational costs and improve the consistency of their electrical infrastructure. Having certain and comprehensive state assessment of the electrical equipment helps the assortment of the suitable maintenance plan. Hence, the insulation condition monitoring and diagnostic techniques for the reliable and economic transformers are necessary to accomplish a comprehensive and proficient transformer condition assessment.

Design/methodology/approach
The main intent of this paper is to develop a new prediction model for the aging assessment of power transformer insulation oil. The data pertaining to power transformer insulation oil have been already collected using 20 working power transformers of 16-20 MVA operated at various substations in Punjab, India. It includes various parameters associated with the transformer such as breakdown voltage, moisture, resistivity, tan δ, interfacial tension and flashpoint. These data are given as input for predicting the age of the insulation oil. The proposed aging assessment model deploys a hybrid classifier model by merging the neural network (NN) and deep belief network (DBN). As the main contribution of this paper, the training algorithm of both NN and DBN is replaced by the modified lion algorithm (LA) named as a randomly modified lion algorithm (RM-LA) to reduce the error difference between the predicted and actual outcomes. Finally, the comparative analysis of different prediction models with respect to error measures proves the efficiency of the proposed model.

Findings
For the Transformer 2, root mean square error (RMSE) of the developed RM-LA-NN + DBN was 83.2, 92.5, 40.4, 57.4, 93.9 and 72 per cent improved than NN + DBN, PSO, FF, CSA, PS-CSA and LA-NN + DBN, respectively. Moreover, the RMSE of the suggested RM-LA-NN + DBN was 97.4 per cent superior to DBN + NN, 96.9 per cent superior to PSO, 81.4 per cent superior to FF, 93.2 per cent superior to CSA, 49.6 per cent superior to PS-CSA and 36.6 per cent superior to LA-based NN + DBN, respectively, for the Transformer 13.

Originality/value
This paper presents a new model for the aging assessment of transformer insulation oil using RM-LA-based DBN + NN. This is the first work uses RM-LA-based optimization for aging assessment in power transformation insulation oil.
Swarming motility growth favours the emergence of a subpopulation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum‐sensing mutants
Authors: Robitaille Sophie , Groleau Marie‐Christine , Déziel Eric 
Published: April 2020

SummaryPseudomonas aeruginosa exploits several types of motility behaviours to colonize diverse environments. One of these is swarming motility, a coordinated group movement on a semi‐solid surface. This bacterium needs to express a functional flagellum and produce rhamnolipids to display this type of social motility. A ΔhptB mutant, a gene part of the Gac/Rsm signalling pathway, produces rhamnolipids and expresses a functional flagellum but has an important swarming defect. Experimental‐directed evolution was performed on this mutant under swarming conditions to obtain compensatory mutations and thus identify genes responsible for its deficient swarming phenotype. Unexpectedly, a gain‐of‐function subpopulation emerged from this evolution with mutations in lasR, which codes for a key quorum‐sensing transcriptional regulator. Furthermore, we found that lasR− mutants even emerge at high frequencies in the wild‐type strain when using the same experimental evolution strategy. The resulting evolved population, largely composed of LasR‐defective mutants, is fitter than the original strain in swarming motility. We also established that lasR− mutants have a growth advantage under swarming conditions when compared with wild‐type. Our results demonstrate that a social phenotype, that is, swarming motility, favours the emergence of mutants deficient in a quorum‐sensing regulatory pathway to the benefit of the whole population.
The Making of Pombal: Speculation, Diplomacy and the Iberian Enlightenment, c.1714–1755
Authors: JONES CORREDERA EDWARD 
Published: April 2020

AbstractThis article sheds light on the influence of José de Carvajal y Lancaster's establishment of shareholder companies in Spain on the economic programme of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, better known as the Marquis of Pombal. Early eighteenth‐century Spanish debates on the capacity of shareholder companies to foster geopolitical reform informed the overlooked project of European cooperation of José de Carvajal y Lancaster. Carvalho studied and praised Carvajal's commercial reforms and understood that closer diplomatic and commercial collaboration between Spain and Britain would undermine Portugal's geopolitical interests. Carvalho's early economic schemes were thus the result, in part, of Iberian commercial emulation. The Iberian establishment of regulated and joint‐stock companies catalysed reform and reconfigured trans‐imperial commercial relations. Paradoxically, Carvajal and Carvalho's parallel views on European geopolitics, and their understanding of Enlightenment ideals, foreclosed the possibility of a Luso‐Spanish alliance.

AbstractBackgroundThis study aimed to overexpress or silence connexin 43 (Cx43) and A‐kinase anchoring protein 95 (AKAP95) in human A549 cells to explore their effects on cyclins and on G1/S conversion when the interrelationship of Cx43, AKAP95, and cyclin E1/E2 changes.MethodsThe study mainly used Western blot analysis and Co‐immuno precipitation to detect the target protein in Cx43/AKAP95 over expressed human A549 cells, and the relationship of proteins Cx43, AKAP95 and Cyclin E during G1‐S phase was explored with qualitative and quantitative analysis.ResultsThe overexpression of Cx43 inhibited the expression of cyclin D1 and E1 by accelerating their degradation and reduced the Cdk2 activity that blocked the DNA transcription activity. However, the overexpression of AKAP95 increased the expression of cyclin D1 and E1 and inhibited their degradation, and enhanced the Cdk2 activity that promoted the DNA transcription activity. Cx43 and AKAP95 competitively bound to cyclin E1/E2, and the competitive binding affected the Cdk2 activity, Rb phosphorylation, DNA transcription activity, and G1/S conversion.ConclusionsThis study showed that the expression of ERK1/2, PKA, and PKB increased when BEAS‐2B cells were treated with PDGF‐BB, suggesting that ERK1/2, PKA, and PKB might be involved in the binding of AKAP95 with cyclin E, or the separation of AKAP95 from Cx43 from cyclin E1/E2. The specific mechanism underlying this process still needs further exploration.

Published: April 2020

AbstractObjectivesThe American College of Emergency Physicians' geriatric emergency department (GED) guidelines recommend additional staff and geriatric equipment, which may not be financially feasible for every ED. Data from an accredited Level 1 GED was used to report equipment costs and to develop a business model for financial sustainability of a GED.MethodsStaff salaries including the cost of fringe benefits were obtained from a Midwestern hospital with an academic ED of 80,000 annual visits. Reimbursement assumptions included 100% Medicare/Medicaid insurance payor and 8‐hour workdays with 4.5 weeks of leave annually. Equipment costs from hospital invoices were collated. Operational and patient safety metrics were compared before and after the GED.ResultsA geriatric nurse practitioner in the ED is financially self‐sustaining at 7.1 consultations, a pharmacist is self‐sustaining at 7.7 medication reconciliation consultations, and physical and occupational therapist evaluations are self‐sustaining at 5.7 and 4.6 consults per workday, respectively. Total annual equipment costs for mobility aids, delirium aids, sensory aids, and personal care items for the GED was $4,513. Comparing the 2 years before and after, in regard to operational metrics the proportions of patients with lengths of stay > 8 hours and patients placed in observation did not change. In regard to patient safety, the rate of falls decreased from 0.60/1,000 patient visits to 0.42/1,000 in the ED observation unit and 0.42/1,000 to 0.36/1,000 in the ED. ED recidivism at 7 and 30 days did not change. Estimated cost savings from the reduction in falls was $80,328.ConclusionThe additional equipment and personnel costs for comprehensive geriatric assessment in the ED are potentially financially justified by revenue generation and improvements in patient safety measures. A geriatric ED was associated with a decrease in patient falls in the ED but did not decrease admissions or ED recidivism.
Low‐molecular weight heparin prevents portal vein system thrombosis after splenectomy: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
Authors: Yang Ming , Liu Jinlong 
Published: April 2020

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low‐molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in the prevention of portal vein system thrombosis (PVST) after splenectomy.MethodsA systematic search was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, Springer and Cochrane Library databases to screen out studies comparing the prognoses between post‐splenectomy patients treated with and without LMWH. The incidences of PVST and bleeding complications were used as parameters to assess the effect of LMWH.ResultsSix articles met the selection criteria and were included in this study. A total of 740 patients were involved in these six articles, including 336 patients treated with LMWH (LMWH group) and 385 patients not treated with LMWH (control group). The incidence of PVST in the LMWH group was significantly lower than that in the control group (relative risk 1.782 (1.449–2.192); P = 0.285; I2 = 19.7%), while the incidence of post‐operative bleeding in the LMWH group was significantly higher (relative risk 0.592 (0.195–1.799); P = 0.817; I2 = 0.0%).ConclusionLMWH might decrease the incidence of PVST after splenectomy without a potential risk of bleeding.
Risk‐adjusted hospital clinical management issue rates using data from the Victorian Audit of Surgical Mortality
Authors: Hansen Dylan , Retegan Claudia , Ismail Adam , McCahy Philip 
Published: April 2020

AbstractBackgroundIn recent years, there has been a concerted drive for an increase in public reporting of hospital‐level outcomes as a means of identifying strategies to improve patient safety. Surgical care, as a high‐risk area of medical practice, has come under sharp scrutiny. This study uses data from the Victorian Audit of Surgical Mortality (VASM) in conjunction with data from the Victorian Admitted Episode Dataset to compare hospital rates of clinically identified serious clinical management issues that were definitely or probably preventable and caused or contributed to the death of the patient who would otherwise be expected to survive.MethodsCases where the date of death was between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2017 that completed the full VASM audit process were extracted from the VASM database and combined with data extracted from the Victorian Admitted Episode Dataset, where a surgical admission occurred in the same time period. A logistic regression model was used as a method of indirect standardization to derive the probability of preventable clinical management issues, which was then used to calculate the standardized incident rate for all Victorian surgical hospitals. Hospitals were compared by plotting the standardized incident rates on three funnel plots.ResultsThere were five hospitals (8.3%) of the 60 that deviated significantly from the state‐wide rate of 0.00012.ConclusionThe risk adjustment model identified several hospitals that may have a systematic issue which warrant further clinical quality assurance investigation.

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate the use of a 24‐hr ocular dimensional profile recorded with a contact lens sensor (CLS) combined with a single tonometric intraocular pressure (IOP) reading to indicate the potential for exceeding the diagnostic threshold for normal tension glaucoma (NTG) in Japanese patients.MethodsIntraocular pressure (IOP) of untreated Japanese NTG patients was measured with tonometry every 3 hr from 9:00 to 24:00. The subsequent day a 24‐hr CLS (SENSIMED Triggerfish, Sensimed AG, Lausanne, Switzerland) profile was recorded on the same eye. Patients initially diagnosed as NTG were reclassified as NTG when the measured IOP values were consistently <20 mmHg or as primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG) when IOP was ≥20 mmHg in at least 1 measurement. For each patient and each IOP time‐point, IOP values were combined with information provided by the CLS profile (‘classifier’) to indicate the potential for exceeding the diagnostic threshold value. Statistical analyses were performed for each classifier.ResultsA total of 65 patients, 28 males and 37 females (mean ages: 50.8 ± 14.6 years and 52.6 ± 10.2 years, respectively), were analysed. Following IOP diurnal measurement, five patients (7.7%) were reclassified as POAG. Two classifiers (15:00 CLS and 18:00 CLS) showed high sensitivity and negative predictive value (100%), identifying all the POAG patients.ConclusionContact lens sensor information can be used in conjunction with a single tonometric reading to determine patients’ potential of having IOP levels exceeding the diagnostic threshold within a 24‐hr period, without the need to perform a 24‐hr tonometric curve. This would allow clinicians to identify POAG patients who may otherwise be eventually misclassified as NTG.
Osseous pathologies in the lungless salamander Desmognathus fuscus (Plethodontidae)
Authors: Danto Marylène , Witzmann Florian , Fröbisch Nadia B. 
Published: April 2020

AbstractThe majority of reported pathologies in lissamphibians (salamanders, caecilians and frogs) include limb deformities such as missing limbs, multiple extra limbs and digits, or incomplete limb formation. However, comparatively little is known about congenital vertebral malformations or posttraumatic pathologies (e.g. injuries, infections) in the vertebral column of salamanders. In the present study, we describe eight vertebral deformities in three cleared and stained specimens of Desmognathus fuscus. Two specimens display developmental deformities which range from a potential non‐segmented wedge vertebra to fully segmented hemivertebrae. The vertebral pathology in the third specimens possibly results from a parasitic infection. Apparently, these osseous deformities were not severe enough to prohibit survival of the specimens.

AimsEvidence on acute respiratory failure (ARF) from antipsychotics is scant, and only 1 population‐based study examined this drug safety issue in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Antipsychotics have been frequently prescribed off‐label in adults, but whether antipsychotic use carries an increased ARF risk among adult patients is uncertain.MethodsWe adopted a nested case–control study analysing 716 493 adults aged ≥20 years, identified from the Taiwan nationwide healthcare claims records between January 2000 and December 2013. Among the study cohort, 7084 adults with ARF and 12,785 disease risk scored‐matched randomly selected controls were analysed. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to estimate odds ratios of ARF with antipsychotic usages.ResultsCurrent, recent, and recent past use of antipsychotics was associated with a 2.33‐fold (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.06–2.64), 1.79‐fold (95% CI = 1.43–2.25) and 1.41‐fold (95% CI = 1.20–1.66) increased risk of ARF, respectively, compared with nonuse, while antipsychotics discontinued >90 days carried no risk. A dose‐dependent association was observed with current therapy of antipsychotics (test for trend,P< .001), in which antipsychotic use at >1 defined daily dose yielded the highest risk of 6.53‐fold (95% CI = 3.33–12.79). The findings were robust to using carbamazepine as an active comparator.ConclusionAntipsychotic use was associated with an increased risk of ARF in adult patients. The risk was dose‐dependent and markedly higher with current use of antipsychotic agents at doses of 1 defined daily dose and above, <10% of this cohort. Physicians should be vigilant about any respiratory symptoms in patients currently receiving antipsychotics at such dose.
