Abstract
We conducted high-contrast polarimetry observations of T Tau in the H-band, using the High Contrast Instrument for the Subaru Next Generation Adaptive Optics instrument mounted on the Subaru Telescope, revealing structures as near as 0.″1 from the stars T Tau N and T Tau S. The whole T Tau system is found to be surrounded by nebula-like envelopes, and several outflow-related structures are detected in these envelopes. We analyzed the detailed polarization patterns of the circumstellar structures near each component of this triple young star system and determined constraints on the circumstellar disks and outflow structures. We suggest that the nearly face-on circumstellar disk of T Tau N is no larger than 0.″8, or 117 au, in the northwest, based on the existence of a hole in this direction, and no larger than 0.″27, or 40 au, in the south. A new structure, “N5,” extends to about 0.″42, or 59 au, southwest of the star, and is believed to be part of the disk. We suggest that T Tau S is surrounded by a highly inclined circumbinary disk with a radius of about 0.″3, or 44 au, with a position angle of about 30°, that is misaligned with the orbit of the T Tau S binary. After analyzing the positions and polarization vector patterns of the outflow-related structures, we suggest that T Tau S should trigger the well-known E–W outflow, and is also likely to be responsible for a southwest precessing outflow “coil” and a possible south outflow.
Does Nearby Open Flux Affect the Eruptivity of Solar Active Regions?
Authors: DeRosa Marc L. , Barnes Graham 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The most energetic solar flares are typically associated with the ejection of a cloud of coronal material into the heliosphere in the form of a coronal mass ejection (CME). However, large flares exist that are not accompanied by a CME. The existence of these noneruptive flares raises the question of whether such flares suffer from a lack of access to nearby open fields in the vicinity above the flare (reconnection) site. In this study, we use a sample of 56 flares from sunspot Cycles 23 and 24 to test whether active regions that produce eruptive X-class flares are preferentially located near coronal magnetic field domains that are open to the heliosphere, as inferred from a potential field source-surface model. The study shows that X-class flares with access to open fields are eruptive at a higher rate than those for which access is lacking. The significance of this result should be moderated due to the small number of noneruptive X-class flares in the sample, based on the associated Bayes factor.

Abstract
AGILE is a mission of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) Scientific Program dedicated to γ-ray astrophysics, and has operated in a low Earth orbit since 2007 April 23. It is designed to be a very light and compact instrument, capable of simultaneously detecting and imaging photons in the 18–60 keV X-ray energy band and in the 30 MeV–50 GeV γ-ray energy range with a good angular resolution (≈1◦ @ 1 GeV). The core of the instrument is the Silicon Tracker, supplemented by a CsI calorimeter and an AntiCoincidence system, which form the Gamma Ray Imaging Detector (GRID). Before launch, the GRID needed on-ground calibration with a tagged γ-ray beam to estimate its performance and validate the Monte Carlo simulation. The GRID was calibrated using a tagged γ-ray beam with energy up to 500 MeV at the Beam Test Facilities at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati. These data are used to validate a GEANT 3-based simulation by comparing the data and the Monte Carlo simulation by measuring the angular and energy resolutions. The GRID angular and energy resolutions obtained using the beam agree well with the Monte Carlo simulation. Therefore the simulation, can be used to simulate the same performance on-flight with high reliability.

Published: July 2018

Nine species of freshwater bryozoans were recorded in Lithuania in a survey of 18 various types of freshwater bodies. Eight species were assigned to the Class Phylactolaemata and families Plumatellidae and Cristatellidae (Plumatellarepens,Plumatellafungosa,Plumatellafruticosa,Plumatellacasmiana,Plumatellaemarginata,Plumatellageimermassardi,HyalinellapunctataandCristatellamucedo). The ninth species,Paludicellaarticulata, represented the Class Gymnolaemata.PlumatellageimermassardiandP.casmianawere recorded for the first time in Lithuania. For the plumatellids, species identification was achieved partly by analysing statoblasts’ morphological ultrastructures by scanning electron microscopy.
Self-perception during the Transition to the Fourth Age in the Czech Republic

Published: July 2018

Le vieillissement de la population signifie également un nombre croissant de personnes dans le soi-disant quatrième âge : l’expérience combinant la vieillesse avec un certain degré d’incapacité et la nécessité de recevoir des soins. Alors que certains auteurs identifient le quatrième âge avec la mort sociale, en parlant de l’impossibilité de la recherche empirique, notre article présente une interprétation des récits des personnes âgées concernant les changements dans leur quotidien par rapport à la transition vers cette période, montrant comment une telle interprétation est liée à leur perception de soi et leur identité.
Families and the Elderly along the Shores of the Mediterranean: Old and New Forms of Relatedness
Authors: Sacchi Paola , Paolo Viazzo Pier 
Published: July 2018

Le vieillissement de la population impose des défis de plus en plus semblables aux sociétés situées d’un côté et de l’autre de la Méditerranée, car la famille y est encore un acteur majeur de la protection sociale. Les données sociodémographiques et ethnographiques examinées dans cet article montrent que les anciennes manières de se soutenir, comme la pratique de la co-résidence dans les familles élargies, jouent toujours un rôle important. Cependant, on trouve désormais une plus grande diversité des façons de maintenir les liens et l’entraide qui favorise l’« extension » des familles. Se mettent ainsi en place de nouvelles formes de relations entre les différents acteurs : la proximité résidentielle des enfants et des parents fait que les premiers peuvent faire fonction de soignants, tandis que les personnels soignants à domicile peuvent pénétrer la sphère familiale et y obtenir un statut de quasi-parents.
Autoérotismes : aléas d’un parcours
Authors: Bouchard Christine 
Published: July 2018

L’auteur considère que les autoérotismes tiennent une place fondamentale dans l’organisation psychique, qu’on les considère comme une conquête d’indépendance vis-à-vis de l’objet, une opération de déplacement et d’intériorisation, ou comme précurseurs de la structure réflexive de la psychè et du dialogue intérieur. Mais elle soulève aussi la question des obstacles sur la voie de la constitution de ces autoérotismes, en particulier les images aliénantes qui peuvent faire surgir une conflictualité entre l’inves­tissement du corps érogène et les idéaux narcissiques. Elle aborde des situations où c’est le renversement « auto » qui est à construire et d’autres où c’est l’« érotique » qui est défaillant.
Changes of Functional Optical Zone After LASIK for Hyperopia and Hyperopic Astigmatism
Authors: Roesler Christian , Kohnen Thomas 
Published: July 2018

PURPOSE:To evaluate which factors may influence the size of the postoperative functional optical zone after hyperopic LASIK.METHODS:Thirty-three eyes with a mean spherical equivalent of +3.55 ± 1.28 diopters (D) underwent LASIK with a Technolas 217 C-LASIK laser (Bausch & Lomb Surgical, Munich, Germany). After 1 week and 1, 4, and 12 months, the authors examined refraction, corneal refractive power by means of computerized videokeratography (Technomed C-Scan; Baesweiler, Germany), and uncorrected/corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA/CDVA). According to the degree of hyperopia, they were divided into low hyperopia (spherical equivalent ≤ 3.00 D) and high hyperopia (spherical equivalent > 3.00 D) groups.RESULTS:One year postoperatively, 82% of all eyes had a UDVA of 0.5 or better; in 88%, the spherical equivalent did not deviate more than 1.00 D from the attempted value. Three eyes were slightly undercorrected. After an initial overcorrection (−0.27 D) with subsequent regression, the refraction remained stable at +0.17 D from the fourth postoperative month (low hyperopia group: +0.14 D; high hyperopia group: +0.19 D after 1 year). After 1 year, the functional optical zone diminished by 32%; the reduction was more pronounced in eyes with higher hyperopia: −1.85 ± 1.09 mm (range: +0.5 to −3.4 mm) in the low hyperopia group (P< .0001) and −2.25 ± 1.24 mm (range: +1 to −3.9 mm) in the high hyperopia group (P< .0001). Preoperative spherical equivalent and preoperative corneal refractive power affected the postoperative size of the functional optical zone additively.CONCLUSIONS:An expected small functional optical zone in high hyperopia may not be regarded as a compelling exclusion criterion, but can induce possible side effects such as glare and halos.[J Refract Surg.2018;34(7):476–481.]

Authors: Siedlecki Jakob , Luft Nikolaus , Keidel Leonie , Mayer Wolfgang J. , Kreutzer Thomas , Priglinger Siegfried G. , Archer Timothy J. , Reinstein Dan Z. , Dirisamer Martin 
Published: July 2018

PURPOSE:
To report the impact of increasing minimum lenticule thickness on the safety and efficacy of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in low myopia up to −3.50 diopters (D).

METHODS:

SMILE was performed in 76 eyes of 76 patients. Thirty-eight eyes of 38 patients with low myopia were prospectively operated on with a programmed minimum lenticule thickness of 15 to 30
μ
m (thicker lenticule group). Thirty-five eyes suitable for analysis were then retrospectively matched by spherical equivalent to 35 eyes operated on with a minimum standard setting of 10
μ
m (standard thickness group), as provided in the database of the SMILE Eyes Clinic Linz, Linz, Austria. Comparison of outcomes was performed with the Standard Graphs for Reporting Refractive Surgery and by analysis of higher order aberrations as provided by Scheimpflug imaging.

RESULTS:

Apart from lenticule thickness, there was no significant difference in preoperative baseline or treatment parameters between both groups. Mean minimum lenticule thickness differed significantly (standard thickness = 10 ± 0
μ
m; thicker lenticule = 20 ± 5
μ
m;
P
< .0001). This also translated into a significant difference in maximum lenticule thickness (standard thickness: 54 ± 11
μ
m; thicker lenticule: 62 ± 8
μ
m;
P
= .0002). Mean SEQ preoperatively was −2.25 ± 0.51 (standard thickness) and −2.24 ± 0.46 (thicker lenticule) D, respectively, and changed to −0.11 ± 0.50 (standard thickness) and +0.01 ± 0.36 (thicker lenticule) D postoperatively (
P
< .0001 for both comparisons). Uncorrected postoperative visual acuity was −0.08 ± 0.35 (standard thickness) versus −0.10 ± 0.09 (thicker lenticule) logMAR (
P
= .706). After SMILE, the thicker lenticule group showed better safety (1.20 vs 1.08;
P
= .025) and efficacy (1.14 vs 0.96;
P
= .011) indices, translating into more eyes within ±0.50 D from target (91% vs 77%) and with at least 0.0 logMAR visual acuity (97% vs 86%), and fewer eyes losing one (3% vs 17%) and two (0% vs 3%) lines.

CONCLUSIONS:
Increasing minimum lenticule border thickness seems to improve the safety and efficacy of SMILE in low myopia.

Using benthic diatoms for estimating lake ecological quality: Comparing different taxonomic resolution
Authors: Marchetto Aldo , Sforzi Tommaso 
Published: July 2018

The Water Framework Directive asks to all Member States of the European Union to classify the ecological quality of significant waterbodies on the basis of the biological communities they host. One of the biological communities that must be used for the ecological quality assessment is the periphytic community, mainly composed by diatoms. In Italy, diatom-based lake quality assessment is performed using a specific index, named EPI-L, based on the method of weighted averages. For each species, a trophic score and an indicator weight were calculated. In order to reduce the complexity of the lake quality assessment, we calibrated a variant of EPI-L, using diatoms genera instead of species, and we compared the performance of these two variants in terms of correlation with the nutrient level and of different classification of each lake.
A comparison between video otoscopy and standard tympanometry findings in adults living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in South Africa
Authors: Sebothoma Ben , Khoza-Shangase Katijah 
Published: July 2018

Background: Literature suggests that there is a correlation between video otoscopy and standard tympanometry findings. However, there is limited evidence on whether these two measures are comparable in the identification of middle ear pathologies in adults living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Objective: This study aimed to determine the correlation between video otoscopy and standard tympanometry with 226 Hz probe tone in the identification of middle ear pathologies in adults living with HIV in Limpopo, South Africa. Method: A prospective, non-experimental, comparative design was employed on HIV-positive adults aged 18 years and older. All participants underwent basic audiological assessment including case history interviews, video otoscopy, tympanometry with a 226 Hz probe tone and pure tone audiometry. Two ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists independently analysed video otoscopic images and provided their reports to the researcher, and these were compared to the tympanometry results. The IBM SPSS v.24 was used for data analysis, including the use of Cohen’s kappa to determine the agreement between the two procedures. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the strength of the correlation between tympanometry and video otoscopy. Results: A total of 87 adults (N = 161 ears) took part in the study. Middle ear pathology was observed in 8% (n = 13) of the sample when tympanometry was used, and this increased to 10.6% (n = 17) when video otoscopy was utilised. Kappa statistics found a good agreement (k = 0.7) between the diagnoses made by two ENTs. However, there was poor agreement (k = 0.2) between the diagnoses by video otoscopy and tympanometry. Pearson’s correlation coefficient indicated weak correlation between video otoscopy and tympanometry (r = 0.195). Conclusion: Findings from this study suggest that video otoscopy may be more accurate in the identification of middle ear pathologies in adults living with HIV when compared to tympanometry. These findings have training implications in the use of video otoscopy to ensure accuracy and reliability. Clinical implications of current findings include the use of both video otoscopy and tympanometry in a complementary manner for more sensitive identification of middle ear pathologies in this population. Lastly, tele-audiologic implications of the use of video otoscopy to increase access in resource-constrained contexts are raised.
Carbon emission effect of urbanization at regional level: empirical evidence from China
Authors: Niu Honglei , Lekse William 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Historically, global urbanization has been an essential ingredient for national economic growth and beneficial social transformation. However, with the global urban population currently generating two-thirds of all carbon emissions, global policymakers are urging mayors and regional leaders to make difficult decisions to reduce the negative impacts of urbanization on the environment. The authors begin their examination of the implications of local and regional factors by applying the Dynamic Spatial Durbin Panel Data Model to empirically examine aspects of developing low-carbon strategies for the rapidly expanding size and number of the world’s urban areas. The results indicate that the contribution of urbanization to carbon emissions can be positively affected when regional policy makers collaborate to focus on spillover effects to simultaneously manage the scope, diversity, and complexity of economic and environmental issues from the perspective of creating a balance between rapid urbanization and relevant regional factors. Regional leaders can make a difference by creating both short-term goals and long-term strategies for maintaining low-carbon urbanization, nurturing regional coordination, monitoring and managing eco-friendly regional spillover effects, supporting low-carbon technology innovations, and maintaining optimal city size.

De tegenstrijdigbelangregeling(en) in het enquêterecht. De Intergamma- en Staphorst-beschikkingen nader bekeken.
De Ondernemingskamer heeft het afgelopen jaar meerdere noemenswaardige beschikkingen gewezen waarbij het tegenstrijdig belang centraal stond. In het enquêterecht lijkt de Ondernemingskamer nu naast de wettelijke tegenstrijdigbelangregeling ook de norm van artikel 2:8 BW mee te pakken. Dit zorgt voor de nodige onduidelijkheid in de (rechts)praktijk. De auteur onderzoekt het concept van het tegenstrijdig belang in het enquêterecht aan de hand van de laatste ontwikkelingen.
Delapril and Indapamide: Development and Validation of a Stability-Indicating Core-Shell LC Method and Its Application for Simultaneous Tablets Assay
Authors: Gonçalves Brenda R , Machado Anna K M S , Oliveira Paulo R , Barth Thiago , Sangoi Maximiliano S , Todeschini Vítor 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Background: The combination of delapril (DEL) and indapamide (IND) may be regarded as an optimal drug treatment for hypertensive patients. However, there is no published study concerning the suitable stability conditions and evaluation of drugs in the raw material and commercial product. Objective: The aim of the present study was to develop an innovative, high-throughput, and stability-indicating LC method for the simultaneous analysis of DEL and IND in combined dosage form. Methods: Analyses were performed using a core-shell C18 column (100 mm × 4.6 mm id, 2.6 μm) at 45°C using isocratic elution for the mobile phase composed of triethylamine solution (0.3%, pH 5.0)–acetonitrile–methanol (58 + 35 + 7, v/v/v). The separation was obtained within 3.5 min at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and UV detection set at 213 nm. Results: The specificity and stability-indicating capability of the method were proven through degradation studies, which also showed that there is no interference of the formulation excipients, showing that the peak is free from any co-eluting peak. Conclusions: The method showed adequate precision, with relative standard deviation values lower than 1.85%. Excellent values of accuracy were obtained, with a mean value of 98.64% for IND and 98.65% for DEL. Experimental design was used during validation to calculate and prove the method robustness. Highlights: The proposed LC method was successfully validated according to International Conference on Harmonisation requirements and applied for the simultaneous determination of DEL and IND in tablets, presenting suitability for stability studies and contributing to improve the QC of pharmaceuticals.
