Published: May 2019

AbstractThis interdisciplinary study examined the structure of humor creation in the specific context of efforts to positively reappraise stressful situations for effective coping. In a sample of n = 101 participants, a performance test was used to assess the quantity (fluency, number of generated ideas that qualified as humor) and quality (rated funniness) of humor creation in cognitive reappraisal. Linguistic mechanisms were identified and quantified using cognitive-linguistic methods of corpus analysis, and their employment was correlated with humor production performance on the level of the individual. Almost all individuals were able to come up with reappraisal ideas that qualified as humorous. Depressive symptoms, a negative mood state, and high perceptions of threat did not compromise the participants’ capability to create humor. Individuals who were more serious-minded as a trait produced ideas that were rated as less funny, but their basic ability to create humor was unaffected. Metonymy (a contiguity-based principle of meaning extension) emerged as by far the most prominent semantic mechanism in the creation of humorous re-interpretations. Furthermore, its use was related to good humor creation performance in terms of quantity and quality, which is in line with its assumed importance in the extension of meaning in general and the creation of humor in particular. Further effective linguistic mechanisms and conceptual phenomena were identified. The empirical data may be valuable for the development of interventions involving the creation of humorous ideas for cognitive reappraisal.
A Systems Design Study Introducing a Collection Point for Baggage Transfer Services at a Railway Station in the UK
Authors: Yeung Ho Ki , Marinov Marin 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Railway transport has shown a steady growth in passenger numbers over the past 20 years across the UK. Passengers travel with luggage. It has been forecasted that there will be a reduction of “luggage racks-to-seats” ratio in the future passenger train fleet. There are currently no baggage transfer systems at any of the train stations as part of the urban rail transit system in the UK. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of having a baggage transfer service at Newcastle Central Station, which can serve different travel destinations. A simulation modelling study of different parts of the baggage check-in shop within the railway station is offered. Check-in point, movement of luggage around Newcastle Central, baggage reclaims and storage areas have been contemplated and evaluated using SIMUL8 event-based simulation package. The results for the simulation model developed show that a baggage transfer service at Newcastle Central Station is possible with a mixture of walk-in and online check-in options.

Abstract

Introduction
Sexual health plays an important role in heart failure (HF) patients, and the relationship between HF and sexual dysfunction is well established; however, the role of right ventricular function in sexual dysfunction has not been investigated sufficiently.

Aim
To investigate the potential association between right ventricular dysfunction and sexual dysfunction in both male and female patients with HF.

Methods
Patients with a clinical diagnosis of HF were evaluated in a cross-sectional study. Patients from the whole spectrum of HF were included in the study, regardless of cause, duration, and classification of HF. Sexual function in men was evaluated with the International Index of Erectile Function and in women with the Female Sexual Functioning Index.

Main Outcome Measures
We demonstrate that right ventricular dysfunction is associated with worse sexual function in both men and women.

Results
306 consecutive patients with HF participated in the study. Right ventricular systolic dysfunction ranged from 24.2–39.1% and right ventricular diastolic dysfunction from 16.1–83.1%, depending on the echocardiographic parameter that was assessed. Right ventricular systolic dysfunction assessed by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), TAPSE/pulmonary artery systolic pressure ratio, and right ventricular basal diameter was associated with a lower International Index of Erectile Function score (P = .031, P = .009, and P &lt; .001, respectively). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that erectile function was independently associated only with TAPSE/pulmonary artery systolic pressure ratio and tricuspid late tricuspid diastolic flow velocity wave (β = 32.84, P = .006; and β = −0.47, P = .026, respectively), whereas female sexual function was independently associated only with the early tricuspid diastolic flow velocity/late tricuspid diastolic flow velocity ratio (β= −0.47, P = .026).

Clinical Implications
Our study demonstrates that right ventricular dysfunction in patients with HF reflects an impaired sexual function status. Physicians should be aware of this association and closely evaluate those patients for sexual dysfunction.

Strengths & Limitations
We innovatively assessed the correlation between right ventricular dysfunction and sexual function using validated questionnaires. The main limitation is the relatively small sample size.

Conclusions
Our study provides some new insights into the relationship between sexual dysfunction and right ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in HF patients, also suggesting potential interventions to improve sexual and right ventricular function and prognosis in this population.
Supporting Students With Communication Impairment in Australian Schools: Administering the Obligation to Make Reasonable Adjustment
Authors: Dickson Elizabeth 
Published: May 2019

AbstractIn this article, I address the problem that education support for students with communication impairment may be delivered in an inconsistent manner within schools, or school systems, exposing affected students to harm and affected schools to the risk of litigation. Analysis of relevant Australian disability discrimination legislation and related case law demonstrates that there is a legal obligation to make reasonable adjustment for students with communication impairment and that a fair and equitable system may be postulated to administer that obligation. The Australian Government has recently committed to a needs-based funding model for Australian schools but further work needs to be done to establish how resources that flow to schools under that model should best be applied. This article aims to provide some guidance to those who will make decisions within schools about the management of the sometimes scarce and often expensive support resources for students with communication impairment.
AMS Dating of Potentially the Oldest Wooden Sculptures in Japan from a Shinto Shrine in Akita

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACTWe analyzed rare wooden Komainu found at Akagami Shrine in Akita prefecture, Japan. The formation of historical objects is often thoroughly recorded in documents, although the formation age of this particular Komainu sculpture is still unknown due to its antiquity. Thus, age determination exercises have been conducted using radiocarbon (14C)-wiggle-matching techniques. Although only a limited quantity was available for sampling, we have successfully measured 14C samples in the sculptures along with several sets of tree rings. We interpret the Komainu sculptures age considering the age of the trees and the result obtained from the wooden construction materials used for the Akagami shrine. The results obtained from Komainu show a range from 550 CE to 1020 CE, which is consistent with the dates of the shrine’s formation. Thus, the multiple 14C-wiggle-matching method can determine precise calendar ages of wood, as well as provide some supportive information for the periods when there are no reliable historical documents.

We show that an essentially amenable Banach algebra need not have an approximate identity. This answers a question posed by Ghahramani and Loy [‘Generalized notions of amenability’, J. Funct. Anal. 208 (2004), 229–260]. Essentially Connes-amenable dual Banach algebras are introduced and studied.
Antisthenes and Odysseus, and Paul at War
Authors: Malherbe Abraham J. 
Published: May 2019

Paul's use of military imagery in 2 Cor 10:3–6 deserves closer attention than it has received. Moffatt's translation vividly reflects the descriptions of ancient sieges which underlie Paul's statements:I do live in the flesh, but I do not make war as the flesh does; the weapons of my warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but divinely strong to demolish fortresses-I demolish theories and any rampart thrown up to resist the knowledge of God, I take every project prisoner to make it obey Christ, I am prepared to court-martial anyone who remains insubordinate, once your submission is complete.
Theodicy?
Authors: Surin Kenneth 
Published: May 2019

Theodicy, in its classical form, requires the adherent of a theistic faith to reconcile the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient and morally perfect God with the existence of evil. The so-called problem of evil has a venerable ancestry, extending beyond the Christian era, and was apparently first formulated by Epicurus (341–270 B.C.) in the form of a dilemma which perhaps receives its most succinct formulation in the words of David Hume:Is he willing to prevent evil, but not able? then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil?
The Israeli Approach to Evidence Obtained in Violation of the Right to Privacy
Authors: Zalfzman Nina 
Published: May 2019

In the Secret Monitoring Law, 5739–1979, the Israeli legislature enacted special protection of an individual's right to privacy with respect to his conversations. The Law prohibits:a) the secret monitoring of a person's conversation without lawful authority,b) knowingly using, without lawful authority, any information of the contents of any conversation obtained by secret monitoring, or knowingly disclosing any such information or the contents of any such conversation to a person not authorized to receive it.The legislature, however, grants to certain investigative authorities (The Security Service and the Police Force) the right to conduct secret monitoring pursuant to certain statutory provisions. The legislature provided for this exception to the general prohibition whenever monitoring is deemed essential for reasons of state security, or in order to prevent offences or to detect offenders.
ASTENSIONISMO ELETTORALE E QUESTIONE GIOVANILE
Authors: Giovannini Paolo 
Published: May 2019

IntroduzioneRicerche e riflessioni specifiche sull'astensionismo sono di data recente, in Italia; partono, si può dire, dal 1979. Fino allora, in effetti, il comportamento astensionistico si era mantenuto entro limiti assai ristretti, e comunque del tutto simili a quelli di altri paesi in cui è previsto il voto obbligatorio per la formazione delle Camere. Il «grande balzo» lo si ha tra le elezioni del 1975–76 e quelle del 1979–80, quando i non votanti crescono percentualmente di circa il 50% (+ 53% alla Camera, +43,3% al Senato). Analogo forte incremento si registra nelle schede bianche come in quelle nulle (entrambe in progressivo calo fin dalle elezioni del 1968), che — sempre tra il 1976 e il 1979 — crescono rispettivamente del 40,7 e del 56,1% (alla Camera).

Published: May 2019

AbstractA technique to characterize the native passivation layer (NPL) on pure lithium metal foils in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is described in this paper. Lithium is a very reactive metal, and consequently, observing and quantifying its properties in a SEM is often compromised by rapid oxidation. In this work, a pure lithium energy-dispersive x-ray spectrum is obtained for the first time in a high vacuum SEM using a cold stage/cold trap with liquid nitrogen reservoir outside the SEM chamber. A nanomanipulator (OmniProbe 400) inside the microscope combined with x-ray microanalysis and windowless energy dispersive spectrometer is used to fully characterize the NPL of lithium metal and some of its alloys by a mechanical removal procedure. The results show that the native films of pure lithium and its alloys are composed of a thin (25 nm) outer layer that is carbon-rich and an inner layer containing a significant amount of oxygen. Differences in thickness between laminated and extruded samples are observed and vary depending on the alloy composition.
How Should WTO Members React to Their WTO Crises?
Authors: PETERSMANN ERNST-ULRICH 
Published: May 2019

AbstractSince 2017, the United States (US) and other World Trade Organization (WTO) members have been violating their legal duties and democratic mandates given by national parliaments to maintain the WTO Appellate Body (AB) as legally prescribed in Article 17 of the WTO Dispute Understanding (DSU). Article 17 defines the AB as being ‘composed of seven persons’, with vacancies being ‘filled as they arise’. Sections 2 and 3 explain why none of the reasons offered by the US for its blocking of the (re)appointment of AB candidates – on grounds unrelated to the personal qualifications of the candidates – can justify the illegal disruptions of the WTO legal and dispute settlement system. EU trade diplomats must exercise leadership using the existing legal powers and duties of the WTO Ministerial Conference and General Council under Article IX WTO – if necessary, based on ‘a majority of the votes cast’ – to complete the WTO selection procedures for filling AB vacancies and protect the AB as legally defined in Article 17 DSU. Sections 4 and 5 explain why the competition, social policy, and rule-of-law principles underlying European ‘ordo-liberalism’ offer coherent strategies for overcoming the WTO governance crises by limiting hegemonic abuses of both US neo-liberalism and Chinese state-capitalism.
Cloud‐Radiative Impact on the Regional Responses of the Midlatitude Jet Streams and Storm Tracks to Global Warming
Authors: Albern Nicole , Voigt Aiko , Pinto Joaquim G. 
Published: May 2019

AbstractPrevious work demonstrated the strong radiative coupling between clouds and the midlatitude circulation. Here we investigate the impact of cloud‐radiative changes on the global warming response of the midlatitude jet streams and storm tracks in the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and Southern Hemisphere. To this end, we use the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic global atmosphere model in present‐day setup and with the cloud‐locking method. Sea surface temperatures are prescribed to isolate the circulation response to atmospheric cloud‐radiative heating. In the annual mean, cloud‐radiative changes contribute one to two thirds to the poleward jet shift in all three ocean basins and support the jet strengthening in the North Atlantic and Southern Hemisphere. Cloud‐radiative changes also impact the storm track, but the impact is more diverse across the three ocean basins. The cloud‐radiative impact on the North Atlantic and North Pacific jets varies little from season to season in absolute terms, whereas its relative importance changes over the course of the year. In the Southern Hemisphere, cloud‐radiative changes strengthen the jet in all seasons, whereas their impact on the jet shift is limited to austral summer and fall. The cloud‐radiative impact is largely zonally symmetric and independent of whether global warming is mimicked by a uniform 4 K or spatially varying sea surface temperatures increase. Our results emphasize the importance of cloud‐radiative changes for the response of the midlatitude circulation to global warming, indicating that clouds can contribute to uncertainty in model projections of future circulations.

AbstractThe Anatolian block preserves remnants of Tethyan oceanic basins consumed by north dipping subduction zones until the Late Cretaceous prior to Paleogene collision. The Sivas Basin, which belongs to the Maastrichtian to Cenozoic Central Anatolian basins, is located in a key position limited to the north and the south by respectively the Pontides and Tauride ophiolitic bodies and to the west by the Kırşehir block. This study focuses on the southern margin of the Sivas Basin, where an obducted ophiolite is capped by Maastrichtian‐Paleocene sediments. We present new field observations, with U‐Pb zircon dating on magmatic rocks and geochemical analyses to (1) unravel the pre‐obduction nature and origin of the ophiolitic basement and (2) describe the post‐obduction tectonosedimentary evolution. The pre‐obduction evolution shows that (i) the Sivas ophiolite is characterized by serpentinized peridotites, with minor magmatic intrusions, (ii) the top of the serpentinized mantle is characterized by a cataclastic deformation with ophicalcites interpreted as an extensional detachment fault, (iii) the U‐Pb zircon dating of two magmatic intrusions yield age of 91.49 ± 0.8 Ma and 72.7 ± 0.5 Ma, and (iv) petrological and geochemical data show that the magmatic intrusions were affected by hydrothermal metamorphism. These data suggest that the Sivas ophiolite may have recorded forearc hyperextension in frame of a Late Cretaceous suprasubduction zone. The post‐obduction evolution is characterized by the deposition of a Maastrichtian‐Paleocene carbonate platform on the ophiolite, followed by clastic sediments containing reworked ophiolitic and Tauride Mesozoic clasts.
Evolving Marginal Terranes During Neoproterozoic Supercontinent Reorganization: Constraints From the Bemarivo Domain in Northern Madagascar

Published: May 2019

AbstractMadagascar is a key area for unraveling the geodynamic evolution of the transition between the Rodinia and Gondwana supercontinents as it contains several suites of c. 850–700 Ma magmatic rocks that have been postulated to correlate with other Rodinian terranes. The Bemarivo Domain of northern Madagascar contains the youngest of these units that date to c. 750–700 Ma. We present zircon Hf and O isotope data to understand northern Madagascar's place in the Neoproterozoic plate tectonic reconfiguration. We demonstrate that the northern component of the Bemarivo Domain is distinct from the southern part of the Bemarivo Domain and have therefore assigned new names—the Bobakindro Terrane and Marojejy Terrane, respectively. Magmatic rocks of the Marojejy Terrane and Anaboriana Belt are characterized by evolved εHf(t) signatures and a range of δ18O values, similar to the Imorona‐Itsindro Suite of central Madagascar. These magmatic suites likely formed together in the same long‐lived volcanic arc. In contrast, the Bobakindro Terrane contains juvenile εHf(t) and mantle‐like δ18O values, with no probable link to the rest of Madagascar. We propose that the Bobakindro Terrane formed in a juvenile arc system that included the Seychelles, the Malani Igneous Suite of northwest India, Oman, and the Yangtze Belt of south China, which at the time were all outboard from continental India and south China. The final assembly of northern Madagascar and amalgamation of the Bobakindro Terrane and Marojejy Terrane occurred along the Antsaba subduction zone, with collision occurring at c. 540 Ma.
The Diurnal Nature of Future Extreme Precipitation Intensification
Authors: Meredith Edmund P. , Ulbrich Uwe , Rust Henning W. 
Published: May 2019

AbstractShort‐duration, high‐impact precipitation events in the extratropics are invariably convective in nature, typically occur during the summer, and are projected to intensify under climate change. The occurrence of convective precipitation is strongly regulated by the diurnal convective cycle, peaking in the late afternoon. Here we perform very high resolution (convection‐permitting) regional climate model simulations to study the scaling of extreme precipitation under climate change across the diurnal cycle. We show that the future intensification of extreme precipitation has a strong diurnal signal and that intraday scaling far in excess of overall scaling, and indeed thermodynamic expectations, is possible. We additionally show that, under a strong climate change scenario, the probability maximum for the occurrence of heavy to extreme precipitation may shift from late afternoon to the overnight/morning period. We further identify the thermodynamic and dynamic mechanisms which modify future extreme environments, explaining both the future scaling's diurnal signal and departure from thermodynamic expectations.
Formation of the Potential Jump Over the Geomagnetically Quiet Sunlit Polar Cap Region
Authors: Khazanov G. V. , Krivorutsky E. N. , Sibeck D. G. 
Published: May 2019

AbstractWe consider the formation of a potential drop over the Earth's polar cap during geomagnetically quiet daytime. The observed potential drop is primarily defined by the hydrogen, photoelectron, and polar rain fluxes ratios and depends strongly on the energy distribution of the photoelectron flux. Polar rain is an essential component of the model required for plasma quasi‐neutrality. The potential distribution along the magnetic field line has two regions, with a small, gradual, potential drop of 3–4 V and a potential jump. The value of the potential jump depends on the hydrogen ion to photoelectron flux ratio and is also controlled by polar rain electrons. With quasi‐neutrality required at its upper boundary, the jump only occurs in the presence of polar rain and its location depends on the polar rain flux. Model predictions compare well with FAST observations presented by Kitamura et al. (2012, https://doi.org/10.1029/2011JA017459).
