Abstract
We have investigated the quantitative detection of aminoglutethimide (AGI) based on its adsorption on a SERS-active screen-printed electrode employing Electrochemical Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (EC-SERS) technology. EC-SERS spectra of AGI molecules exhibited different adsorption mode onto the substrate with different potentials applied. When the applied potential reaches −400 mV, the intensities of the EC-SERS peaks provided by both aniline moiety and glutarimide moiety were significantly enhanced, which suggests the bidentate interaction of AGI molecule with the substrate. The peak of 1147 cm−1 showed the strongest intensity among the wavenumbers, with peak intensity over 30 times stronger than that of the standard SERS signal. A linear dependence occurred in the range of 1 × 10−5 M to 2 × 10−7 M. The limit of detection (LOD) is 40 ng/mL and the R squared of the linear curve was 0.98. This work was completed on a coin-sized chip using low sample volume (30 µL) only. Trace detection of this drug using this technique would be useful for the deterrence and prevention of dopant usage and other point-of-care diagnostics (POCD).

Abstract
A specific chiral selective chemical reaction on flavin-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is recognized based on a unique assembled structure formation of the flavin when using a chlorinated solvent such as chloroform; namely, the self-assembled flavin onto the SWNT surface protected (8,6)SWNTs from the chlorine radical reaction.

Robust Dynamic Pricing with Strategic Customers
Authors: Chen Yiwei , Farias Vivek F. 
Published: August 2018

We consider the canonical revenue management (RM) problem wherein a seller must sell an inventory of some product over a finite horizon via an anonymous, posted price mechanism. Unlike typical models in RM, we assume that customers are forward looking. In particular, customers arrive randomly over time and strategize about their times of purchases. The private valuations of these customers decay over time and the customers incur monitoring costs; both the rates of decay and these monitoring costs are private information. This setting has resisted the design of optimal dynamic mechanisms heretofore. Optimal pricing schemes—an almost necessary mechanism format for practical RM considerations—have been similarly elusive. The present paper proposes a mechanism we dub robust pricing. Robust pricing is guaranteed to achieve expected revenues that are at least within 29% of those under an optimal (not necessarily posted price) dynamic mechanism. We thus provide the first approximation algorithm for this problem. The robust pricing mechanism is practical, since it is an anonymous posted price mechanism and since the seller can compute the robust pricing policy for a problem without any knowledge of the distribution of customer discount factors and monitoring costs. The robust pricing mechanism also enjoys the simple interpretation of solving a dynamic pricing problem for myopic customers with the additional requirement of a novel “restricted sub-martingale constraint” on prices that discourages rapid discounting. We believe this interpretation is attractive to practitioners. Finally, numerical experiments suggest that the robust pricing mechanism is, for all intents, near optimal.

AimsThe aims of this study were to quantify health state utility values (HSUVs) after a tibial fracture, investigate the effect of complications, to determine the trajectory in HSUVs that result in these differences and to quantify the quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) experienced by patients.Patients and MethodsThis is an analysis of 2138 tibial fractures enrolled in the Fluid Lavage of Open Wounds (FLOW) and Study to Prospectively Evaluate Reamed Intramedullary Nails in Patients with Tibial Fractures (SPRINT) trials. Patients returned for follow-up at two and six weeks and three, six, nine and 12 months. Short-Form Six-Dimension (SF-6D) values were calculated and used to calculate QALYs.ResultsCompared with those who did not have a complication, those with a complication treated either nonoperatively or operatively had lower HSUVs at all times after two weeks. The HSUVs improved in all patients with the passage of time. However, they did not return to the remembered baseline preinjury values nor to US age-adjusted normal values by 12 months after the injury.ConclusionWhile the acute fracture and complications may have resolved clinically, the detrimental effect on a patient’s quality of life persists up to 12 months after the injury.

Published: August 2018

Aims Little is known about the effect of haemorrhagic shock and resuscitation on fracture healing. This study used a rabbit model with a femoral osteotomy and fixation to examine this relationship. Materials and Methods A total of 18 male New Zealand white rabbits underwent femoral osteotomy with intramedullary fixation with ‘shock’ (n = 9) and control (n = 9) groups. Shock was induced in the study group by removal of 35% of the total blood volume 45 minutes before resuscitation with blood and crystalloid. Fracture healing was monitored for eight weeks using serum markers of healing and radiographs. Results Four animals were excluded due to postoperative complications. The serum concentration of osteocalcin was significantly elevated in the shock group postoperatively (p < 0.0001). There were otherwise no differences with regard to serum markers of bone healing. The callus index was consistently increased in the shock group on anteroposterior (p = 0.0069) and lateral (p = 0.0165) radiographs from three weeks postoperatively. The control group showed an earlier decrease of callus index. Radiographic scores were significantly greater in the control group (p = 0.0025). Conclusion In a rabbit femoral osteotomy model with intramedullary fixation, haemorrhagic shock and resuscitation produced larger callus but with evidence of delayed remodelling.

Authors: Pujiyono Pujiyono 
Published: August 2018

Based on delinquiry non-potes doctrine, perpetrator and criminal responsibility are done by human (natuurlijk persoonen). Modernity can not be avoided by the development of corporation function. A research is needed to be conducted to answer questions whether criminal law is effective to overcome corporate crime and which corporation criminal responsibility model that can keep the balance of the protection of society and corporation interests through restorative justice approach. This study focuses on finding a win-win solution model of corporation criminal responsibility policy to keep the balance of the protection of society and corporation interests. This study used normative juridical method based on the secondary data,. The result of this research shows that criminal law with its retributive approach and its action which focus on the perpetrator is ineffective to handle corporate crime, because it ignores the victim To overcome those problems, corporation criminal responsibility model based on restorative justice approach in the form of “dual track system selective” is introduced.

AIR SOVEREIGNTY AND NO-FLY ZONES
Authors: Pramono Agus 
Published: August 2018

Sovereignty of a state in essence is an embedded, basic element of a state as a supreme power. However, the sovereignty of a state can only be applied within its own borders, where outside of its own territory the sovereignty of another country takes over. This research was carried out based on the approach of current legal regulations and review of literature. The study showed that airspace sovereignty is, in principle, embedded to a state of which ownership is exclusive in nature. No-fly zones are airspace in which a sovereign state determines to be restricted for flight traffic based on the existing international and national regulations.

Contractual Liability of Online Platform Operators: European Proposals and established Principles
Authors: Maultzsch Felix 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The contractual responsibility of online platform operators has been subject to an intensive debate in the recent past. While the operators of transaction platforms usually seek the role of mere intermediaries without considerable liability for the proper performance of the main contracts, there is increasing support for extending their responsibility. The ‘Discussion Draft of a Directive on Online Intermediary Platforms’, published by a group of European scholars in 2016, can be seen as an important landmark in this debate. The following article will analyse the provisions of this draft on the platform operators’ liability towards the users of the platform. It shall be argued that strict transparency requirements on the role of the platform operators are to be welcomed but that other proposals for a tightened liability based on the idea of economic influence do not accord with established contractual principles which should hold true for the platform economy as well.
Explaining Trump’s Support: What We Saw and Heard At His Campaign Rallies
Authors: Dickinson Matthew J. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
More than a year after his surprise victory, scholars continue to debate why Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. Two explanations – economic anxiety and racial resentment – are commonly cited. Drawing on open-ended interviews with Trump supporters and observations at multiple Trump campaign rallies, we find that both explanations, as commonly presented, do not fully capture the dynamics underlying Trump’s support. Rather than racial animosity or concern over their personal economic status, we believe that Trump’s supporters were primarily focused on what they saw as an increasingly biased political and economic system that no longer rewarded hard work and playing by the rules.
Following Fenno: Learning from Senate Candidates in the Age of Social Media and Party Polarization
Authors: Parker David C.W. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractStudents of American politics are indebted to Richard Fenno’s path-breaking work,Home Style, published four decades ago. But, given the book’s widespread acclaim, few have taken Fenno’s prescription to go back home with members of Congress to heart. In this essay, I echo Fenno’s call for scholars to become participant-observers of the political process while offering the modern “soaker and poker” a guide to the pitfalls and opportunities of pursuing such a research project. I respond to Fenno’s methodological treatise, written as the appendix toHome Style, focusing in particular on gaining access and how to remain publicly engaged while observing a competitive Senate campaign. I discuss how changes in American political culture create additional wrinkles for participant observation that must be considered, especially if scholars chose to remain engaged in public outreach. I conclude by addressing the need to consider carefully the ethics of engaging the political world we study, particularly in the light of the Stanford-Dartmouth experiment scandal rocking Montana in the weeks preceding the state’s 2014 judicial elections. We may not all do participant observation, but we should follow Fenno when considering the implications of interfering in the political world as we study it.
Laughter and humour in high-stakes academic ELF interactions: an analysis of laughter episodes in PhD defences/vivas
Authors: Mežek Špela 
Published: August 2018

AbstractThis study investigates the uses and functions of laughter and humour in a corpus of nine PhD defences/vivas. The data include the PhD defences in their entirety, including monologic and dialogic talk by participants from a variety of research cultures. The defences were video-recorded and transcribed, and laughter episodes analysed according to who laughed, who the source of “the laughable” was, what the reason for laughing was and at what point laughter occurred. The analysis reveals that a majority of laughter was non-humorous, produced by one person, and had the function of mitigating face threats to speakers and others. Humorous laughter was usually produced by more than one person and had the function of relieving tension, creating a non-adversarial atmosphere and building a community. These results are connected to the communicative purposes of the participants; the participants’ mutual aim is to examine an academic work and confirm the candidate’s membership in their chosen specialisation, which requires cooperation from all parties. Furthermore, although the participants come from different research cultures where humour can have a different presence and function, this study shows that laughter and humour are frequent and fill an important function in ELF interactions in high-stakes academic situations.
Pre-Service Teachers’ Changing Perspectives of Mexican Immigration following an Online Multicultural Literature Experience
Authors: Howrey Shannon Tovey 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Misconceptions, stereotypes, and deficit views of Mexican immigrants are pervasive in the current U.S. media. Such views are inconsistent with culturally responsive pedagogy, and teachers who hold them will be impeded in their abilities to teach Mexican immigrant children effectively (Nathenson-Mejia & Escamilla, 2003). Research supports the notion that many teachers become more culturally responsive as a result of reading multicultural children’s literature (Nieto, 2013). Few studies, however, have looked specifically at literature with Mexican immigration themes, and fewer still have been done specifically with undergraduate pre-service teachers or utilizing critical discourse methodology. In this study, four pre-service teachers read and discussed the children’s novel Return to Sender in an online discussion board over four weeks. Critical discourse analysis of changes in participants ways of representing, ways of interacting, and ways of being (Fairclough, 2003) over the four weeks indicated that some participants developed more empathetic views toward Mexican immigrants, while others did not. These differences seemed related to the stance (Rosenblatt, 1978) they adopted when approaching the text. These findings may inform teacher educators as they plan multicultural literature experiences that promote culturally responsive understandings of the experiences of Mexican immigrant and other children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Exploiting TLS Client Authentication for Widespread User Tracking
Authors: Foppe Lucas , Martin Jeremy , Mayberry Travis , Rye Erik C. , Brown Lamont 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
TLS, and SSL before it, has long supported the option for clients to authenticate to servers using their own certificates, but this capability has not been widely used. However, with the development of its Push Notification Service, Apple has deployed this technology on millions of devices for the first time. Wachs et al. [42] determined iOS client certificates could be used by passive network adversaries to track individual devices across the internet. Subsequently, Apple has patched their software to fix this vulnerability. We show these countermeasures are not effective by demonstrating three novel active attacks against TLS Client Certificate Authentication that are successful despite the defenses. Additionally, we show these attacks work against all known instances of TLS Client Certificate Authentication, including smart cards like those widely deployed by the Estonian government as part of their Digital ID program. Our attacks include in-path man-in-the-middle versions as well as a more powerful on-path attack that can be carried out without full network control.
Artificial neural network for predicting the flexural bond strength of FRP bars in concrete
Authors: Köroğlu Mehmet Alpaslan 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The bond strength between fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars and concrete is one of the most significant aspects of composite behaviour for rebars and concrete. In this study, a database of 408 beam type specimens consisting of beam end specimens, beam anchorage specimens and splice beam specimens was compiled from the current literature and used to develop a simple prediction using the artificial neural network (ANN). The data used for modelling were organised in a format of eight input parameters that include FRP type, cover bar surface, confinement, bar diameter (db
), concrete compressive strength

, minimum cover-to-bar-diameter ratio (c/db

Enttäuschung als Politikressource
Authors: Gotto Bernhard 
Published: August 2018

Vorspann
Die westdeutsche Friedensbewegung erzielte anfangs beeindruckende Mobilisierungserfolge, musste dann aber zahlreiche Rückschläge einstecken. Enttäuschung machte sich breit, ihr Sturz in die Bedeutungslosigkeit ließ aber auf sich warten. Bernhard Gotto, Mitarbeiter des Instituts für Zeitgeschichte und Koordinator der Leibniz Graduate School „Enttäuschung im 20. Jahrhundert. Utopieverlust - Verweigerung - Neuverhandlung“, analysiert die Ursachen dieser erstaunlichen Selbstbehauptung und verweist dabei vor allem auf das raffinierte Gefühlsmanagement, das die Friedensbewegung im Umgang mit Rückschlägen und Misserfolgen entwickelt hatte. Es immunisierte gegen Frustration und Resignation, ihm war es sogar zu verdanken, dass aus Enttäuschungen Lerneffekte resultierten, die zur Vitalisierung der Demokratie als Lebensform führten.

Abstract
Bradbury, DG, Landers, GJ, Benjanuvatra, N, and Goods, PS. Comparison of linear and reverse linear periodized programs with equated volume and intensity for endurance running performance. J Strength Cond Res 34(5): 1345–1353, 2020—This investigation examined the effectiveness of 2 periodization methods on endurance running performance. Thirty recreational runners (25.2 ± 7.4 years; 175.4 ± 8.1 cm; 69.0 ± 9.8 kg) were assigned to 3 groups based on preintervention test results: linear periodization group (LPG, n = 10), reverse linear periodization group (RPG, n = 10), and control group (CG, n = 10). The LPG and RPG completed 3 training sessions (2 supervised and 1 unsupervised) per week in two 6-week blocks. The LPG went through a high-volume training program while the RPG performed higher intensity, lower volume training in the initial block. Training volume and intensity was reversed in the second 6-week training block. All subjects completed pre-training (week 0), midpoint (week 7), and post-training (week 14) testing, which included anthropometric measurements (body mass and sum of 8 skinfolds), treadmill tests for running economy (RE) and V̇O2max, and a 5,000-m time trial (TT) on a 400-m grass track. Greater improvements in the 5,000-m TT were observed in the LPG (76.8 ± 55.8 seconds, p = 0.009, d = 1.27) and the RPG (112.8 ± 83.4 seconds, p = 0.002, d = 1.51) than the CG (3.6 ± 59 seconds). No significant differences were found between the LPG and RPG (p = 0.321, d = 0.51). No group differences were found for V̇O2peak (p = 0.955) or RE at 9 km·h−1 (p = 0.329) or 11 km·h−1 (p = 0.558), respectively. However, significant improvements were seen in these variables after training: V̇O2peak (p = 0.010), RE 9 km·h−1 (p < 0.001), and RE 11 km·h−1 (p = 0.004). These results do not support linear periodization or reverse linear periodization as a superior method; however, periodized training elicited greater improvements in endurance performance than nonperiodized training, highlighting the importance of planned training structure.
