ObjectiveTo characterise the long-term prognosis of patients with stable coronary artery heart disease by means of ‘standard predictors’ defined as demographic, clinical and biochemical quantities routinely available in general practices and ascertained at an interview not prompted by renewed cardiac complaints.MethodsThis is an observational study based on data from 2199 Copenhagen placebo patients from the ‘clarithromycin for patients with stable coronary heart disease’ trial of patients with stable coronary heart disease. In the trial, we compared the effects of 14 days of clarithromycin treatment versus placebo. The predictors were based on the interview forms and blood samples collected at entry, along with demographic information from hospital files.We studied ‘standard predictors’ of a composite outcome (myocardial infarction, unstable angina, cerebrovascular disease or all-cause death) and of all-cause death. Using Cox regression, we compared predictions of status at 3, 6 and 9 years without and with the use of ‘standard predictors’ and used receiver operating characteristic statistic.ResultsFew ‘standard predictors’ were associated (p<0.01) with the composite outcome or with all-cause death. When no ‘standard predictors’ were included, 63.2% of the model-based predictions of the composite outcome and 79.9% of death predictions were correct. Including all ‘standard predictors’ in the model increased the figures to 68.4% and 83.4%, respectively.Cindices were low, except when all-cause death was assessed as a single outcome whereCwas 0.79.Conclusion‘Standard predictors’ routinely available in general practices contribute only modestly to risk assessment in consecutively sampled patients with stable coronary heart disease as ascertained at a contact not prompted by renewed cardiac complaints. Novel biomarkers may improve the assessment.Trial registration numberNCT00121550.
BONE MINERAL STATUS AND METABOLISM DISORDERS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC SPINAL CORD INJURY
Authors: Bystrytska M. A. 
Published: September 2018

Background. The study of late complications, including osteoporosis, is urgent due to the increasing life expectancy of patients with complete spinal cord injury (SCI). Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate bone mineral status and bone turnover markers in the patients with chronic SCI.Methods. 73 SCI patients and 57 healthy persons were examined. Bone status was determined by ultrasound (US) densitometry. Bone turnover markers and vitamin D were evaluated by electrochemiluminescence method.Results. In the SCI patients bone mineral status was significantly lower compared with the individuals of control group. The stiffness index (SI) was 51.4±11.8 % vs. 98.5±16.6 %, p<0.05 in men and 50.1±9.8 % vs. 92.9±11.1 %, p<0.05 in women. In the SCI patients the levels of bone turnover markers were significantly higher than the reference values. The bone mineral status of patients with SCI, which occurred before peak bone mass development, is significantly worse, compared with the individuals with the already developed peak bone mass, that makes them a high risk group for fracture. Conclusions. SCI leads to increased bone resorption with development of secondary osteoporosis (according to the ultrasound densitometry of calcaneal bone). In chronic SCI, bone resorption is higher than in the individuals with combined low levels of vitamin D, and the absence of axial load results in continued loss of bone mass.

Published: September 2018

We deployed a newly developed 3C microelectromechanical system-based seismic land streamer over porous glacial sediments to delineate water table and bedrock in Southwestern Finland. The seismic source used was a 500 kg vertical impact drop hammer. We analyzed the SH-wave component and interpreted it together with previously analyzed P-wave component data. In addition to this, we examined the land streamer’s potential for multichannel analysis of surface waves and delineated the site’s stratigraphy with surface-wave-derived S-wave velocities and [Formula: see text] ratios along the entire profile. These S-wave velocities and [Formula: see text] ratios complement the interpretation conducted previously on P-wave stacked section. Peculiarly, although the seismic source used is of a vertical-type nature, the data inspection indicated clear bedrock reflection on the horizontal components, particularly the transverse component. This observation led us to scrutinize the horizontal component data through side-by-side inspection of the shot records of all the three components and particle motion analysis to confirm the S-wave nature of the reflection. Using the apparent moveout velocity of the reflection, as well as the known depth to bedrock based on drilling, we used finite-difference synthetic modeling to further verify its nature. Compared with the P-wave seismic section, bedrock is relatively well delineated on the transverse component S-wave section. Some structures connected to the kettle holes and other stratigraphic units imaged on the P-wave results were also notable on the S-wave section, and particularly on the surface-wave derived S-wave velocity model and [Formula: see text] ratios. Our results indicate that P-, SV-, and SH-wave energy is generated simultaneously at the source location itself. This study demonstrates the potential of 3C seismic for characterization and delineation of the near-surface seismics.

Published: September 2018

Purpose Intensity of end-of-life care receives much attention in oncology because of concerns that high-intensity care is inconsistent with patient goals, leads to worse caregiver outcomes, and is expensive. Little is known about such care in those undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), a population at high risk for morbidity and mortality. Patients and Methods We conducted a population-based analysis of patients who died between 2000 and 2013, within 1 year of undergoing an inpatient allogeneic HCT using California administrative data. Previously validated markers of intensity were examined and included: hospital death, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and procedures such as intubation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation at end of life. Multivariable logistic regression models determined clinical and sociodemographic factors associated with: hospital death, a medically intense intervention (ICU admission, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hemodialysis, intubation), and ≥ two intensity markers. Results Of the 2,135 patients in the study population, 377 were pediatric patients (age ≤ 21 years), 461 were young adults (age 22 to 39 years), and 1,297 were adults (age ≥ 40 years). The most common intensity markers were: hospital death (83%), ICU admission (49%), and intubation (45%). Medical intensity varied according to age, underlying diagnosis, and presence of comorbidities at time of HCT. Patients with higher-intensity end-of-life care included patients age 15 to 21 years and 30 to 59 years, patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and those with comorbidities at time of HCT. Conclusion Patients dying within 1 year of inpatient allogeneic HCT are receiving medically intense end-of-life care with variations related to age, underlying diagnosis, and presence of comorbidities at time of HCT. Future studies need to determine if these patterns are consistent with patient and family goals.
JUVENTUDES EM TRÂNSITO: NOTAS ETNOGRÁFICAS SOBRE A RELAÇÃO DOS ESTUDANTES DO ENSINO MÉDIO COM O CONHECIMENTO ESCOLAR.
Authors: Borges Luís Paulo Cruz 
Published: September 2018

A relação dos jovens estudantes do Ensino Médio com o conhecimento escolar é objeto de estudo do presente artigo. Pauta-se na abordagem teórico-metodológica etnográfica, situada na fronteira entre a antropologia e a educação. Assim, foram utilizados o caderno de campo, notas etnográficas, descrição densa, entrevistas, fotografias, observação participante e produções textuais como formas de apreender um recorte da realidade social. Articulam-se as categorias conhecimento escolar e juventudes privilegiando uma abordagem pós-crítica e pós-colonial para pensar a escola e seus sujeitos. Questiona-se como jovens estudantes do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública da rede estadual do Rio de Janeiro se relacionam com o conhecimento socializado pela escola? Opera-se numa lógica de que há uma polifonia nas vozes discentes que podem ser escutadas como forma de uma produção curricular pensando os dissensos como caminhos possíveis a partir da ideia de juventudes em trânsito abordando a relação dos jovens com seus processos educacionais e suas imagens. À guisa de conclusão, defende-se a ideia de que o conhecimento escolar, entendido como atos de significação, é uma dimensão criadora dos modos de subjetivação e diferença, capaz de permitir a emergência dos trânsitos juvenis presentes na escola de hoje.
A REFERENCIAÇÃO PRONOMINAL NO DISCURSO DO PROFESSOR: DISTANCIAMENTO E PROXIMIDADE / The pronominal reference in teacher’s speech: distancing and proximity
Authors: Carneiro Maria Angélica Lauretti 
Published: September 2018

Considerando que o domínio dos estudos linguísticos da referencialidade, visto a partir das reflexões provenientes das ciências humanas e sociais, está estritamente ligado aos usos da linguagem em contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as significações resultantes do uso das referenciações pronominais nos discursos de duas professoras em aulas de leitura. Os pressupostos teóricos foram baseados em Koch (2005; 2015); Koch e Marcuschi (1998); Marcuschi (1998); Apothéloz e Reichler-Beguelin (1995); Mondada (2005) e Mondada e Dubois (2003). O quadro de pesquisadores emprestou grande vigor à Linguística no campo dos estudos da referência, destacando a sua natureza discursiva como objetos-de-discurso e não como entidades especulares, porém resultantes de processos discursivos. O corpus foi composto por extratos de dois eventos didáticos focando nas estratégias de uso de referenciações pronominais nas falas de duas professoras, nos encadeamentos dialógicos, indiciando diferentes formas de envolvimento interpessoal: de distanciamento e de proximidade. Os resultados apontam para a importância de os analistas refletirem sobre a produção das referenciações processadas discursivamente nos contextos.

Published: September 2018

AbstractIntermetallics are known as a group of materials that draws attention with their features such as ordered structure, high temperature resistance, high hardness and low density. In this paper, it is aimed to obtain intermetallic matrix composites and also to maintain some ductile Nb and Ti metallic phase by using 99.5% purity, 35-44 μm particle size titanium, niobium and aluminium powders in one step via recently developed powder metallurgy processing technique - Electric current activated/assisted sintering system (ECAS). In this way, metallic reinforced intermetallic matrix composites were produced. Dominant phases of TiAl3 and NbAl3 which were the first compounds formed between peritectic reaction of solid titanium, niobium and molten aluminum in Ti-Al-Nb system during 10, 30 and 90 s for 2000 A current and 1.5-2.0 voltage were detected by XRD and SEM-EDS analysis. Hardness values of the test samples were measured by Vickers indentation technique and it was detected that the hardnesses of intermetallic phases as 411 HVN whereas ductile metallic phase as 120 HVN.
Continuous Cooling Transformation of Undeformed and Deformed High Strength Crack-Arrest Steel Plates for Large Container Ships
Authors: Qi Yongfeng , Li Jing , Shi Chengbin , Zhu Qintian 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The phase transformation behavior of crack-arrest steel during continuous cooling either with or without deformation at high temperatures was investigated. By carefully examining the microstructures of continuous cooled samples, we found that pearlite, quasi-polygonal ferrite (QPF), acicular ferrite (AF), granular bainite (GB), upper bainite, lath-like bainite and martensite/austenite will exist depending on cooling rates and transformation temperatures in both conditions of deformation and without deformation after austenization. The transformation curves of AF and GB moved toward the left in deformation condition in comparison with that of without deformation condition, which indicated that deformation promoted the formation of QPF and AF; meanwhile, deformation inhibited the formation of bainite. Finer bainite and the accompanying M/A could be obtained by reducing the bainite nucleation activation energy as follows: (i) increasing the undercooling by increasing the cooling rate; (ii) increasing the stored energy by deformation of the austenite.
Evaluation of anthropometric parameters of central obesity in Pakistani children aged 5–12 years, using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis
Authors: Asif Muhammad , Aslam Muhammad , Altaf Saima 
Published: September 2018

Abstract

Background
Different anthropometric parameters have been proposed for assessing central obesity in children, but the ability of these anthropometric parameters to correctly measure central obesity in Pakistani children is questionable and needs to be assessed. The aims of this investigation were to examine the diagnostic performance of anthropometric parameters as indicators of central obesity in Pakistani children as measured by waist circumference (WC) and to determine the sex-specific best cut-off values for these parameters that would identify obese children.

Methods
Anthropometric measurements – height, weight, WC, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), conicity index (CI) and neck circumference (NC) – from a cross-sectional sample of 5964 Pakistani children aged 5–12 years were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was used to examine the diagnostic performance and to determine the optimal cut-off point of each anthropometric parameter for identifying centrally obese children.

Results
It was found that WC had a significantly positive correlation with all studied anthropometric parameters. The ROC curve analysis indicated that all the parameters analyzed had good performance but WHtR had the highest value of the area under the curve (AUC). Optimal cut-off points associated with central obesity for boys and girls were, respectively, 0.47 and 0.48 for WHtR, 1.20 and 1.23 for CI, 0.96 and 0.96 for WHR and 26.36 and 26.54 cm for NC.

Conclusions
The sex-specific cut-off points for WHtR, CI, WHR and NC can be used to detect central obesity in Pakistani children.

Queering the Border: Walter Pater’s “Sebastian Van Storck” and the Apocalypse of the Self
Authors: Cutolo Raffaele 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This essay examines how Walter Pater’s work “Sebastian van Storck” (Imaginary Portraits) could provide for a new re-reading of Pater’s queerness from a de-constructivist viewpoint which investigates the borders of identity from an anti-social perspective. As a juxtaposition to 1970s theory of sexuality, the anti-social take involves a withdrawal of the homosexual from society, and a subsequent tendency to create a twofold separation: one from without, and one -more subtle- from within. The former entails a rupture between the homosexual Self and the heteronormative Other, the latter is an ontological division between the queer I and its internal culturally heteronormalised counterpart, to be viewed as yet another attempt of the fin-de-siècle complex Self to reach a compromise in a liminal time that could no longer be considered fully Victorian.
A Revenger’s Tragedy
Authors: Ward Ian 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
From its very inception modern “law and literature” scholarship has exhibited at least as much interest in what happens in the classroom as it has in what happens in the courtroom. Its principal ambition is educative, its primary audience student. In a strategic sense it hopes that the deployment of literary texts might enhance a law student’s appreciation of the human dimension of legal practice. The first part of this article will set the jurisprudential context, taking a closer look at the evolving legal regulation of “revenge porn,” as well as the critical debate which this regulation has stimulated. The second will then consider the dramatic presentation of the same issues and arguments in Placey’s play. According to Placey, any “time we write a script, we’re hoping in some way people will listen, that our words might have an effect, that they might shake people.”
Evan Placey in “Sexting in Parliament: insights from the writer and director of Girls Like That,” in The Play Ground, March 24, 2014, available at: http://nickhernbooksblog.com/category/nhb-author/evan-placey (last accessed February 2, 2017). The final part will contemplate the extent to which this aspiration is realised in Girls Like That.
Tubal, Shylock, and the Myth of Venice
Authors: Usher Peter D. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In Shakespeare’s comedy The Merchant of Venice, Tubal’s chief function seems to be to furnish cash for Shylock’s loan to Antonio. However, I argue that when Shylock approaches Tubal for money, Tubal does not confront Shylock but vows instead to establish conditions by which to convict the moneylender of intent to harm Antonio. For this to work, Tubal needs the connivance of the Duke, which gainsays one component of the myth of Venice that holds that the city-state’s legal system is above reproach.
Rückgang der Krebssterblichkeit in Deutschland: welche Rolle spielen Entwicklungen bei der Inzidenz?
Authors: Fiebig Julia , Kraywinkel Klaus 
Published: September 2018

Zusammenfassung
Trotz erheblicher Fortschritte in der Prävention, Früherkennung und Behandlung von Krebserkrankungen bereits in früheren Jahrzehnten geht die altersstandardisierte Sterblichkeit an Krebs nicht nur in Deutschland erst seit gut 20 Jahren zurück. Ein Grund ist die lange Zeit steigende Inzidenz tabakassoziierter Krebserkrankungen. Daten der bevölkerungsbezogenen Krebsregister zeigen, dass auch der aktuelle Rückgang der Mortalität zu einem wesentlichen Teil auf entsprechenden Trends bei den Inzidenzraten beruht, insbesondere bei Krebserkrankungen der Verdauungsorgane, der ableitenden Harnwege (bei Männern) und der Eierstöcke.
Impfprävention in Deutschland: Ein Überblick zu den Entwicklungen der letzten 25 Jahren
Authors: Wichmann Ole , Koch Judith , Rieck Thorsten , Siedler Anette 
Published: September 2018

Zusammenfassung
Das Impfsystem in Deutschland hat sich in den letzten 25 Jahren wesentlich weiterentwickelt. Essentiell war die Schaffung gesetzlicher Rahmenbedingungen sowohl für die Entwicklung einheitlicher Impfempfehlungen, deren Finanzierung und Umsetzung als auch für deren Evaluation. Mit der Zulassung neuer Impfstoffe und Einführung neuer Konzepte haben die Empfehlungen der Ständigen Impfkommission (STIKO) ein deutlich größeres Spektrum und tragen zu einem effektiven Schutz vor übertragbaren Erkrankungen in der Allgemeinbevölkerung und auch in speziellen Risikogruppen bei. Im Vergleich zu 1993 stehen heute Daten zur Verfügung, die es besser ermöglichen, die Inanspruchnahme von Impfungen auf regionaler Ebene und in einzelnen Altersgruppen zu analysieren oder die Effekte der Impfungen zu belegen.

Herausforderungen und Erfolge: Das Stigma psychischer Krankheiten
Authors: Schomerus Georg , Horsfield Philip A. 
Published: September 2018

Zusammenfassung
Das Stigma psychischer Krankheit wirkt zum vielfachen Nachteil der Betroffenen und ist nicht zuletzt Behandlungshindernis. In Anbetracht der Prävalenz psychischer Krankheit in der Bevölkerung und der Tatsache, dass sie häufig lange unbehandelt bleibt, ist die Stigmabekämpfung auf dem Gebiet von Public Mental Health eine zentrale Herausforderung. Dabei sollte Anti-Stigma Arbeit gezielt, lokal, kontinuierlich, kontaktbasiert und recovery-orientiert ansetzen. Reduktionistischen sollten kontinuum-basierten Krankheitsmodellen weichen.
