Comparing simulated client experiences with phone survey self-reports for measuring the quality of family planning counseling: The case of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate – subcutaneous (DMPA-SC) in Nigeria
Authors: Diamond-Smith Nadia , Treleaven Emily , Omoluabi Elizabeth , Liu Jenny 
Published: March 2019

Background: The quality of family planning services can have important implications for uptake and continued method use. The aim of this analysis is to examine aspects of quality for a new injectable contraceptive method, DMPA-SC (depot medroxyprogesterone acetate – subcutaneous, known as Sayana Press®), service provision and contraceptive services more broadly in Nigeria. Methods: We compared self-reports from follow-up phone surveys with users to simulated client interactions that were designed to measure the same concepts. Through mixed-methods, we sought to more deeply understand the biases associated with different data collection methods that ultimately lead to different conclusions regarding quality of contraceptive services, and to further assess to what extent these methods were suitable for detecting differences in quality across sub-groups using the case of married versus unmarried women. Results: We found that simulated clients reported lower levels of quality across all comparable quality indicators than phone survey respondents attending the same facilities. Both methods were able to detect differential treatment by marital status. Conclusions: A mixed-methods approach can provide differential insights into quality of family planning services, especially when aiming to understand both objective and subjective aspects of quality.

Understanding the foot's functional anatomy in physiological and pathological conditions: The calcaneopedal unit concept
Authors: Ghanem I. , Massaad A. , Assi A. , Rizkallah M. , Bizdikian A. J. , El Abiad R. , Seringe R. , Mosca V. , Wicart P. 
Published: March 2019

Background A thorough review of the available orthopaedic literature shows significant controversies, inconsistencies and sparse data regarding the terminology used to describe foot deformities. This lack of consensus on terminology creates confusion in professional discussions of foot anatomy, pathoanatomy and treatment of deformities. The controversies apply to joint movements as well as static relationships between the bones. Description The calcaneopedal unit (CPU) is a specific anatomical and physiological entity, represented by the entire foot excepted the talus. The calcaneus, midfoot and forefoot are solidly bound by three strong ligaments that create a unit that articulates with the talus. The movement of the CPU is complex, as it rotates under the talus, around the axis of Henke that coincides with the talo-calcaneal ligament of Farabeuf. This calcaneopedal unit is deformable. It is compared with a twisted plate, able to adapt to many physiological situations in standing position, in order to acheive a plantigrade position. Moreover, the calcaneopedal unit and the talo-tibiofibular complex are interdependent; rotation of the latter produces morphologic modifications inside the former and vice versa. Purpose This paper is a review article of this concept and of its physiopathological applications.
Adaptive Behavior and Intelligence in Adolescents With Down Syndrome: An Exploratory Investigation
Authors: Sabat Camila , Tassé Marc , Tenorio Marcela 
Published: March 2019

AbstractDown syndrome (DS) is characterized by difficulties in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior. These sets of abilities are considered as separate but related domains with small to moderate correlations. The main objective of this study was to explore the relationship of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior in adolescents with DS because previous studies have shown different relationship patterns between these constructs across other syndromes. Fifty-three adolescents with DS were assessed regarding their intellectual functioning whereas adaptive behavior was reported by parents and teachers. Participants showed a better performance on verbal than nonverbal tasks when assessing intellectual functioning, contrary to previous findings. Regarding adaptive behavior, higher social skills were reported than conceptual and practical skills. Intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior showed a medium correlation, consistent with observations in typical population. These results support the exploration of the variability across the DS phenotype.

A lo largo del texto se toman como base las aplicaciones del control estadístico mediante la utilización de perfiles lineales, lo anterior en la obtención de los índices de capacidad con el objetivo de saber si un proceso cumple con las especificaciones técnicas pedidas, teniendo en cuenta las exigencias de la empresa y los clientes, además de la posibilidad de mejora en el proceso de fabricación de un artículo en específico; por otro lado, se observa si con el uso de perfiles lineales se obtiene una mejor eficacia en el proceso de fungicidas. Al realizar este análisis se concluyó que mediante el índice de capacidad tradicional ninguna de las variables cumple con las especificaciones requeridas por el proceso, mientras que implementando el método de perfiles lineales simple los resultados fueron satisfactorios, teniendo un proceso centrado.
Verification of hybrid systems using Kaucher arithmetic
Authors: Schwab Stefan , Hohmann Soeren 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The increasing complexity of technical systems leads to increasing challenges regarding the verification of those systems. Especially in the context of safety critical systems, there is a high need for reliable verification results. Currently verification is mainly based on expert knowledge and the use of high performance hardware to investigate a very high amount of test cases. This article proposes an alternative approach using an iterating segmentation and identification algorithm that is appended by interval arithmetic calculations. This combination yields guaranteed results that do not suffer from type II failures, i. e., that will never verify an erroneous system. This is especially relevant in the context of safety critical systems.
Staff Rotation as an Anti-Corruption Policy in China and in Germany: An Experimental Comparison
Authors: Bühren Christoph 
Published: March 2019

AbstractWe conducted bribery experiments in China and in Germany to analyze the effect of staff rotation on corruption. After being bribed, Chinese and German subjects in the role of public officials less often reciprocated and instead behaved more often opportunistically when matched to strangers compared to partners. Thus, staff rotation reduced the public officials´ propensity to behave corruptly in our experiment. German subjects in the role of firms anticipated this behavior: In stranger matching, their frequency of bribe-giving was lower than in partner matching, and if they bribed, the bribe value was significantly lower when staff rotation was introduced. For Chinese subjects in the role of firms, this effect of our anti-corruption policy was not significant. We discuss the role of social norms, such as reciprocity and trust, to explain our results.
On the “body’s absence”: The embodied experience of exile in Joseph Brodsky’s “To Urania”
Authors: Holm Anne 
Published: March 2019

AbstractWith Joseph Brodsky’s poem “To Urania” as a case study, this article argues that a cognitive stylistic approach offers a new way into exploring literary representations of the experience of displacement. Drawing on the notion of the embodied mind in Conceptual Metaphor Theory, it presents a close reading of the poem’s portrayal of exile as a “felt” absence. The tension between the immediacy of embodied experience and what lies beyond its grasp is investigated with a particular consideration of enactivism and the dynamics of reading. Metaphor is seen as a tool for enacting vicarious experiences, but also as a means of conveying the difficulty of representing an experience of displacement. The analysis thus focuses on the poem’s strategies for negotiating the discrepancy between the past and the present. These include expressions viewing memory as a space, the juxtaposition of the personal and the generic, and projected movement.
The Two-Dimensional Analysis of Feasibility: A Restatement
Authors: Silva Renan 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Pablo Gilabert and Holly Lawford-Smith have, both in collaboration and individually, provided a compelling account of feasibility, which states that feasibility is both ‘binary’ and ‘scalar’, and both ‘synchronic’ and ‘diachronic’. This two-dimensional analysis, however, has been the subject of four major criticisms: it has been argued that it rests upon a false distinction between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ constraints, that it ignores the importance of intentional action, and that diachronic feasibility is incoherent and insensitive to the existence of epistemic limitations. In this paper, I will argue that such objections do not undermine the persuasiveness of Gilabert and Lawford-Smith’s analysis. Nevertheless, I will contend that the latter is susceptible to two other challenges. First, it mistakenly appeals to morality, and, second, it lacks an analysis of ability. I will maintain, however, that such criticisms can be addressed and that a revised version of the account should be adopted.
Peirce and Dewey think about art: Quality and the theory of signs
Authors: Innis Robert E. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
My goal in this essay is not to investigate the sources, systematic applications, extensions, or coherence of Peirce’s admittedly fragmentary remarks on aesthetics, tasks that have been undertaken by others. Rather, I want, with both historical and systematic intent, to draw attention to some important links between Dewey’s aesthetic use of Peirce’s theory of quality and the remarkable, albeit not thematic, reconstitution in Dewey’s explicitly experiential or perception based aesthetics of central Peircean distinctions and typologies that bear upon the putative aesthetic importance of the divide between Peirce’s early and late theory of signs. In order to give concreteness to the discussion, practicing a kind of method of exemplification, I examine some engagements with art works where the analytical concepts are brought into play. My approach has, as a result, two blades: an upper blade in the form of a theoretical prelude and a lower blade in the form of an analytical staging of some powerful aesthetic encounters in light of the themes outlined in the theoretical prelude.
Topic chains and the interpretation of null subjects. The acquisition of discourse-related strategies in Italian children
Authors: Frascarelli Mara , Carella Giorgio 
Published: March 2019

AbstractBased on the theory proposed in Frascarelli (2007), according to which the interpretation of null subjects depends on an Agree relation betweenproand a specific type of Topic (i.e. the A-Topic, cf. Frascarelli & Hinterhölzl 2007), the first objective of this paper is to evaluate this theory from an acquisitional perspective on children from 3 to 9 years old. Furthermore, since the A-Topic is argued to be systematically associated to specific discourse, prosodic and syntactic properties, a second objective of this paper is to check whether the relevant acquisition correlates with information-structural and interface-related competences. Based on an original experiment designed to examine Topic chains in children’s narrative, evidence is provided that this productive ability is not fully acquired at the age of 9 and that its progress proceeds in three steps, involving different levels of grammar. Specifically, in a first phase children tend to assume their personal experience and discourse intentions as familiar to their interlocutors. Hence, they start their narration linking null subjects to silent A-Topics, without overt links for their interpretation (‘Emperor Strategy’). Then, at the age of 6 the creation of Topic chains seems to be part of children’s competence at a discourse-syntactic level and overt copies are progressively produced in the chains. Nevertheless, since children still assume their ‘hero’ to be a familiar entity, G[iven]-Topics are frequently realised as first link for null subjects. Finally, at around 7–7.11 the adult-like association between discourse-syntactic and prosodic properties is attested.
(3R,6E)-nerolidol, a fertility-related volatile secreted by the queens of higher termites (Termitidae: Syntermitinae)

Published: March 2019

Abstract
The queens of advanced social insects maintain their reproductive monopoly by using exocrine chemicals. The chemistry of these “queen pheromones” in termites is poorly known. We show that primary queens of four higher termites from the subfamily Syntermitinae (Embiratermes neotenicus, Silvestritermes heyeri, Labiotermes labralis, and Cyrilliotermes angulariceps) emit significant amounts of the sesquiterpene alcohol (E)-nerolidol. It is the dominant analyte in queen body washes; it is present on the surface of eggs, but absent in kings, workers, and soldiers. In E. neotenicus, it is also produced by replacement neotenic queens, in quantities correlated with their fertility. Using newly synthesised (3R,6E)-nerolidol, we demonstrate that the queens of this species produce only the (R) enantiomer. It is distributed over the surface of their abdomen, in internal tissues, and in the haemolymph, as well as in the headspace of the queens. Both (R) and (S) enantiomers are perceived by the antennae of E. neotenicus workers. The naturally occurring (R) enantiomer elicited a significantly larger antennal response, but it did not show any behavioural effect. In spite of technical difficulties encountered in long-term experiments with the studied species, (3R,6E)-nerolidol remains among eventual candidates for the role in queen fertility signalling.
The Oxidation Stability and Magnetorheological Properties of MR Grease Based on Different Kinds of Base Oil
Authors: Wang Dawei , Hu Zhide , Yan Hua , Zhang Hansong 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Magnetorheological (MR) grease based on mineral oil, silicon oil, and polyalphaolefi was prepared directly by synchronizing with synthetic grease, respectively. The oxidation stability of each was measured using a pressurized differential scanning calorimeter, whereas sedimentation stability was evaluated by the natural settling process. The effects of base oil and magnetic field strength on MR response of the suspensions were investigated via measurement of the rheological properties, including storage modulus, loss modulus, and MR effect under dynamic oscillation test. It was confirmed that ethyl silicon oil–based MR grease has excellent oxidation stability, good sedimentation stability, and outstanding MR effect. In addition, the MR grease exhibited characteristics of a solid state both with and without magnetic field.

Published: March 2019

OBJECTIVES:
To examine the incidence, mortality, and health care use related to neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection.

METHODS:
A retrospective longitudinal cohort study using a multistate Medicaid claims database. We identified neonates hospitalized with HSV infection from 2009 to 2015 by using discharge diagnosis codes and managed them for 6 months after discharge. Incidence rates were corrected for the imperfect sensitivity and specificity of thediagnosis codes for identifying HSV infection.

RESULTS:
Of 2 107 124 births from 2009 to 2015, 900 neonates were identified with HSV infection, with a corrected incidence rate of 4.5 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.2–4.8) per 10 000 births. The yearly disease incidence increased by 56%, from 3.4 (95% CI: 2.8–4.2) per 10 000 births (or 1 in 2941 births) in 2009 to 5.3 (95% CI: 4.6–6.1) per 10 000 births (or 1 in 1886 births) in 2015 (P &lt; .001). Of the 900 neonates with HSV infection, 54 (6.0% [95% CI: 4.4%–7.6%]) died during the index hospitalization; there was no increase in the yearly mortality rate. Of the 692 (81.2%) infants with follow-up data, 316 (45.7%) had an emergency department visit, and 112 (16.2%) had a hospital readmission. Total payments at 6 months amounted to $60 620 431, a median of $87 602 per case of neonatal HSV infection.

CONCLUSIONS:
We observed an increase in neonatal HSV infection incidence over a recent 7-year period in a Medicaid population. Associated health care use and payments were substantial. Public health interventions targeting disease prevention and early diagnosis are needed.
The soil conditions of the forests of Zala County and their impact on the growth of beech
Authors: Bidló András , Horváth Adrienn , Veperdi Gábor 
Published: March 2019

SummaryDuring the research, we studied the soil conditions in Zala County's forests and examined the effect on the growth of beech forests on these conditions. Data of National Forest Data Base (NFDB) were analysed for investigation. Most of the forests in Zala County are situated less than 150 m above sea level, their location and topography is very diverse. In most of the forests the groundwater level is deeply beneath the surface so the forests can utilize only the amount of precipitation. In accordance with the geological and climatic conditions, Luvisols were formed predominantly, especially the clayic Luvisols and the gleyic Luvisols are the most typical. In addition, there are still Cambisols and stagnic Luvisols as well. In a small percentage, there are forest stands on rendzinic Leptosols, Vertisol, Regosol and Histosol. According to the favourable parent material, forests have got a deep or medium thickness of soil and the typical texture is loam. Based on the research, soil layer thickness and texture had significant impact on the growth of beech forest stands in terms of soil properties.
The psychometric evaluation of the Revised Exercise Addiction Inventory: Improved psychometric properties by changing item response rating
Authors: Attila Szabo , Amit Pinto , Mark D. Griffiths , Rita Kovácsik , Zsolt Demetrovics 
Published: March 2019

Background
The Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) is a short, valid, and reliable instrument used to assess the risk for exercise addiction, and has already been used in numerous published studies. The EAI contains six items, rated on a 5-point scale (strongly agree to strongly disagree), which are based on the components model of addiction. The middle of the original scale (scoring 3 out of 5) reflects neither agreement nor disagreement, which conveys neutrality. However, the present authors believe that individual who provides a neutral opinion on each item (i.e., scoring 3) is a conceptual dilemma because it artificially increases the total score obtainable on the scale without yielding agreement or disagreement with a particular item. Indeed, the six items of the EAI are phrased in such way that respondents can either agree or disagree in the slightly to strongly range.

Methods
This study modified the EAI from a 5-point rating scale to a 6-point one, so that it eliminated a middle neutral response. A total of 277 exercising participants completed the Revised Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI-R) and Exercise Dependence Scale.

Results
All psychometric properties of the EAI-R were superior to the originally published scale.

Conclusion
Considering these findings, it is recommended that scholars now use the EAI-R in the future research if they need to assess the risk of exercise addiction.
