Social Perception and Interaction Database – a novel tool to study social cognitive processes with point-light displays
Authors: Okruszek Ł. , Chrustowicz M. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractIntroductionThe ability to detect and interpret third-party encounters (TPE) is one of the crucial skills enabling people to operate in the social world. Multiple lines of evidence converge towards the preferential processing of TPE when compared to the individual actions of multiple agents, even if the actions of agents were visually degraded to minimalistic point-light displays (PLDs). Here, we present a novel PLD dataset (Social Perception and Interaction Database; SoPID) that may be used for studying multiple levels of social information processing.MethodsDuring a motion-capture session, two pairs of actors were asked to perform a wide range of dyadic 3-second actions, including: (1) neutral, gesture-based communicative interactions (COM); (2) emotional exchanges (Happy/Angry); (3) synchronous physical activity of actors (SYNC); and (4) independent actions of agents, either object-related (ORA) or non-object related (NORA). The stimuli were then transformed into PLDs. Two validation studies (each with 20 healthy individuals) were then performed to establish the recognizability of the SoPID vignettes.ResultsThe first study showed a ceiling level accuracy for discrimination of communicative vs. individual actions (93% +/- 5%) and high accuracy for interpreting specific types of actions (85 +/- 4%) from the SoPID. In the second study, a robust effect of scrambling on the recognizability of SoPID vignettes was observed in an independent sample of healthy individuals.DiscussionThese results suggest that the SoPID may be effectively used to examine processes associated with communicative interactions and intentions processing. The database can be accessed via Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/dcht8/).

Published: August 2019

AbstractThe oral cavity is an important window for the microbial communication between environment and the human body. The oral microbiome plays an important role in human health. Here, we analyzed 447 datasets from human oral samples published by the Earth Microbiome Project (EMP). The microbes in these human oral samples were taxonomically assigned to at least 266 genera of 18 bacterial and archaeal phyla. Among them, 11 genera with the relative abundance more than 1% were identified as 5 different bacterial phyla. Compared with 815 samples from human gut, nose/pharynx and skin, the oral microbiome showed significantly lower diversity and possessed fewer unknown species than those of other body parts, and had distinct differences in species composition from other body parts. In addition, the oral microbiome showed significant differences in the populations of different countries, which may be determined by the living environment and lifestyle/dietary habits. Finally, the correlation analysis showed highly similarity between the oral microbiome and the microbiomes of Aerosol (non-saline) and Surface (non-saline), two types of environmental microbial habitats related closely to human. Together, these findings expand our understanding to the human oral microbiome.

ABSTRACTThe hematopoietic system is maintained throughout life by hematopoietic stem cells that are capable of differentiating into all hematopoietic lineages. An intimate balance between self-renewal, differentiation, and quiescence is required to maintain hematopoiesis. Disruption of this balance can result in hematopoietic malignancy, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). FBXO9, from the F-box E3 ubiquitin ligases, is down-regulated in patients with AML compared to normal bone marrow. FBXO9 is the substrate recognition component of the Skp1-Cullin-F-box (SCF)-type E3 ligase complex. FBXO9 is highly expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor populations, which contain the tumor-initiating population in AML. In AML patients, decrease in FBXO9 expression is most pronounced in patients with the inversion of chromosome 16 (inv(16)), a rearrangement that generates the transcription factor fusion gene, CBFB-MYH11. To study FBXO9 in malignant hematopoiesis, we generated a conditional knockout mouse model using a novel CRISPR/Cas9 strategy. Our data show that deletion of Fbxo9 in mice expressing Cbfb-MYH11 leads to markedly accelerated and aggressive leukemia development. In addition, we find loss of FBXO9 leads to increased proteasome expression and tumors are more sensitive to bortezomib suggesting that FBXO9 expression may predict patient response to bortezomib treatment.

Published: August 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to calculate the back scattering response from single, finite and infinite arrays of nonlinear antennas like the case where the antennas are exposed to high-value signals such as lightning strokes.

Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, the authors have used a recently introduced optimization technique called intelligent water drop.

Findings
The results exhibit that the method used by the authors is faster and more accurate than other conventional optimization algorithms, i.e. particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm.

Originality/value
A new optimization algorithm is used to solve nonlinear problem accurately and sufficiently. Although the technique is not confined to the mentioned examples in the paper, it can be applied to other nonlinear circuits.
Exploiting the T(x) function in fast hysteresis models for transient circuit simulations
Authors: Wilhelm Johann , Renhart Werner 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate an alternative to established hysteresis models.

Design/methodology/approach
Different mathematical representations of the magnetic hysteresis are compared and some differences are briefly discussed. After this, the application of the T(x) function is presented and an inductor model is developed. Implementation details of the used transient circuit simulator code are further discussed. From real measurement results, parameters for the model are extracted. The results of the final simulation are finally discussed and compared to measurements.

Findings
The T(x) function possesses a fast mathematical formulation with very good accuracy. It is shown that this formulation is very well suited for an implementation in transient circuit simulator codes. Simulation results using the developed model are in very good agreement with measurements.

Research limitations/implications
For the purpose of this paper, only soft magnetic materials were considered. However, literature suggests, that the T(x) function can be extended to hard magnetic materials. Investigations on this topic are considered as future work.

Originality/value
While the mathematical background of the T(x) function is very well presented in the referenced papers, the application in a model of a real device is not very well discussed yet. The presented paper is directly applicable to typical problems in the field of power electronics.
Accurate marine propellers flow field CFD through anisotropic mesh optimization
Authors: Abou El-Azm Aly Ahmed , Habashi Wagdi G. 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the flow field around marine propellers is challenging because of geometric complexity and rotational effects. To capture the flow structure, grid quality and distribution around the blades is primordial. This paper aims to demonstrate that solution-based automatic mesh optimization is the most logical and practical way to achieve optimal CFD solutions.

Design/methodology/approach
In the current paper, open water propeller performance coefficients such as thrust and torque coefficients are numerically investigated. An anisotropic mesh adaptation technique is applied, believed for the first time, to marine propellers and to two computational domains.

Findings
The current study’s performance coefficients are compared with other previously published CFD results and improvements in terms of accuracy and computational cost are vividly demonstrated for different advance coefficients, as well as a much sharper capture of the complex flow features.

Originality/value
It will be clearly demonstrated that these two improvements can be achieved, surprisingly, at a much lower meshing and computational cost.
Intellectual disabilities and offending behaviour: the awareness and concerns of the police, district attorneys and judges
Authors: Søndenaa Erik , Olsen Terje , Kermit Patrick Stefan , Dahl Nina Christine , Envik Robert 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the awareness of intellectual disabilities (ID) amongst professionals in the criminal justice system (CJS) and their knowledge of those persons, either as victims, witnesses, suspects, accused or defendants.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey of the professionals in the CJS (n=388), combined with a series of focus group interviews with experienced professionals (n=20), was conducted.

Findings
One out of three respondents (police, district attorneys and judges) reported that they have regular contact with suspects who have an ID. Differences in knowledge of ID amongst professionals in the CJS can explain awareness and detection of persons with ID.

Research limitations/implications
Non-responders may represent professionals with no knowledge or less interest in these issues.

Originality/value
Reflections on ID have not previously been studied in the Norwegian CJS. The findings serve as a basis and status quo for further research.

Authors: Sandström Joakim 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to discuss fire safety design of single-story, single compartment buildings and evaluates whether time to structural damage is a relevant criterion when lethal fire conditions develop long before any structural fire damage can occur.

Design/methodology/approach
The proposed approach is demonstrated in a design case study of a steel truss in a typical Swedish single-story steel frame building.

Findings
While not complying with deemed to satisfy fire resistance ratings, it is argued that the proposed design still can fulfill the life safety objective.

Originality/value
This paper presents practical application of a conceptual paper presenting a general approach to structural fire safety design and the life safety objective.
Genetically modified and biofortified crops and food security in developing countries
Authors: Adeyeye Samuel Ayofemi Olalekan , Idowu-Adebayo Folake 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
In recent times, science and technology has taken a front seat in revolutionizing agricultural production and food processing globally with noticeable impact on food, nutrition and family health. This study was carried out to have a critical review of genetically modified (GM) foods and the use of GM and biofortified crops for food security in developing countries where foods are not adequately available and people are not food secured.

Design/methodology/approach
A critical review of GM foods was undertaken and the use of GM and biofortified crops for food security in developing countries where foods are not adequately available and people are not food secured was carried out.

Findings
Currently, there are no recent patents on GM and biofortified crops and this shows that there are more works to be done by policymakers, regulatory agencies, consumers and right organizations on environmental, health and biosafety of GM and biofortified crops. Advances in science and technology have changed our relationship with nature which enables crops to be modified and improved through selective breeding to obtain more stronger and productive crops. However, despite the benefits and improvements from GM and biofortified crops, controversy and arguments have continued to trail the consumption of GM and biofortified crops because of the perceived safety issues. Although genetic engineering has helped in developing fast-growing and pest-resistant crops, as well as reduction in use of pesticides, however, its impact on the environment and the consumers cannot be overemphasized. In conclusion, this study showed that the role of GM and biofortified crops for food security is the subject of public controversy; however, genetic engineering has the potential to improve world food production, increase food availability and influence farmers’ income and thus their economic access to food but the attendance potential risks related to food safety and avoidable environmental hazards should not be overlooked. There is need for comprehensive information on the impact of GM and biofortified crops on environment, human health and biosafety of the crops.

Research limitations/implications
Few available literatures on the subject matter were critically reviewed.

Practical implications
The paper helps in creating awareness for more in-depth research on GM and biofortified crops and their impacts on food security in developing countries where foods are not adequately available and people are not food secured.

Originality/value
This research is of value to the researchers, policymakers and regulatory agencies in developing countries on food safety.
Review Article: Comments on William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England
Authors: DICKINSON HARRY T. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractWilfrid Prest has written the best biography of Sir William Blackstone, has edited his correspondence, and has produced an impressive range of essays and articles on Blackstone and his works. He has now persuaded a world‐renowned press to produce a new edition of Blackstone's most famous and most influential work, Commentaries on the Laws of England, that provides readers with the first edition of this four‐volume work (1765–9) and all the changes subsequently approved by Blackstone up to the ninth edition, published posthumously in 1783. He has recruited four major legal historians to provide scholarly introductions of great value. This review article seeks to appreciate why Blackstone's Commentaries had such an enormous impact when they first appeared and why they are still subject to serious study to this day. It first shows how Blackstone's academic, legal and political career influenced the structure and content of his Commentaries. It then examines the strengths and the weaknesses of the structure and contents of the Commentaries. Blackstone's four volumes sold well in the English‐speaking world and were generally well reviewed when they first appeared. In England, his discussion on religious toleration did arouse some criticism from radical Dissenters such as Joseph Priestley and his whole approach to the common law and the constitution was savaged by the young Jeremy Bentham. In Ireland and in the North American colonies his comments on the common law were well received, but his views on the sovereignty of parliament aroused the hostility of Irish and American Patriots. Despite this, Blackstone's Commentaries were very widely used by lawyers on the American frontier and they became for decades a major text in American university law schools. For much of the nineteenth century Blackstone's views were criticized in England by Bentham and his utilitarian disciples, who advocated legal reforms, but, from the 1930s onwards, leading lawyers and historians across the world have endeavoured to show that Blackstone was more critical of the legal system of his day and of the laws passed by parliament than Bentham had appreciated.
Nodal CTV selection according to primary tumour location and pT stage for biliary tract cancer

Published: August 2019

AbstractIntroduction/PurposeTo assist radiation oncologists in determining the elective nodal CTV for biliary tract cancer, we aimed to provide the rules for selection of the CTV for each subsite of biliary tract with respect to the pT stage, based on the analysis of the incidence and location of metastatic lymph nodes.MethodsSystematic review and meta‐analysis was performed to determine the rate of pathological nodal involvement of each individual lymph node station (LNS) as a function of the primary tumour pT stage (pT1‐2 vs. pT3‐4) separately for right intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (rIHC), left/hilar intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma l/hIHC), proximal extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (pEHC), middle extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (mEHC), distal extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (dEHC) and gall bladder cancer (GBC). A 5% or higher risk of involvement was assumed to justify inclusion of the LNS in the CTV.ResultsCoeliac LNS, which is usually included in the CTV in clinical practice, has a low risk of involvement and can presumably be omitted for pT1‐2 GBC, for dEHC irrespective of pT stage and for mEHC. Para‐aortic and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) LNS that are usually omitted have a high risk of involvement. Para‐aortic LNS should be considered for inclusion for all the subsites except for pT1‐2 dEHC, and SMA LNS for all the subsites except for pT1‐2 dEHC, pT1‐2 GBC and pEHC. Left gastric artery, lesser curvature and paracardial LNS should be considered for inclusion for l/hIHC.ConclusionThis systematic review provides an evidence‐based strategy for nodal CTV selection in biliary tract cancer according to primary tumour location and pT stage.

Published: August 2019

Background and ObjectivesLittle research has examined the clinical characteristics of U.S. post‐9/11 military veterans coping with alcohol problems. Specifically, we examined psychopathology and hypersexuality among male and female post‐9/11 veterans with and without a lifetime history of alcohol‐use disorders (AUDs).MethodsUsing data from a baseline telephone interview and follow‐up web‐based survey, we examined frequencies of AUDs, mental health and addictive disorders, sexual behaviors, hypersexuality, and problematic use of pornography in a national convenience sample of 283 U.S. veterans.ResultsMany (39.1%) veterans met lifetime criteria for AUDs. Bivariate associations revealed that veterans with lifetime AUDs met clinically significant levels of posttraumatic stress disorder and criteria for drug‐use disorders (lifetime). Veterans with lifetime AUDs also attended religious services less often, engaged in more solitary masturbation in the past month, and reported more issues with problematic use of pornography and hypersexuality compared with veterans without AUDs. Results from a logistic regression found that lifetime drug‐use disorders (odds ratio [OR] = 4.22) and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (OR = 1.98) were significant predictors of veterans with lifetime AUD status.Discussion and ConclusionsWe found differences among veterans with lifetime AUDs compared with those without on select measures of psychopathology, sexual behavior, and hypersexuality.Scientific SignificanceFurther screening for substance‐use disorders and hypersexuality in Veterans Affairs is strongly encouraged while veterans are transitioning back into civilian life.

Published: August 2019

SummaryFollowing abdominal surgery, the provision of postoperative analgesia with local anaesthetic infusion through both transmuscular quadratus lumborum block and pre‐peritoneal catheter have been described. This study compared these two methods of postoperative analgesia following laparotomy. Eighty‐two patients 18–85 years of age scheduled to undergo elective surgery were randomly allocated to receive either transmuscular quadratus lumborum block or pre‐peritoneal catheter block. In the transmuscular quadratus lumborum group, an 18‐gauge Tuohy needle was passed through the quadratus lumborum muscle under ultrasound guidance to reach its anterior aspect. A 20‐ml bolus of ropivacaine 0.375% was administered and catheters placed bilaterally. In the pre‐peritoneal catheter group, 20 ml of ropivacaine 0.375% was infiltrated at each of three subcutaneous sub‐fascial levels, and pre‐peritoneal plane catheters were placed bilaterally. Both groups received an infusion of ropivacaine 0.2% at 5 ml.h−1, continued up to 48 h along with a multimodal analgesic regime that included regular paracetamol and patient‐controlled analgesia with fentanyl. The primary end‐point was postoperative pain score on coughing, assessed using a numerical rating score (0–10). Secondary outcomes were pain score at rest, fentanyl usage until 48 h post‐operation, satisfaction scores and costs. There was no treatment difference between the two groups for pain score on coughing (p = 0.24). In the transmuscular quadratus lumborum group, there was a reduction in numerical rating score at rest (p = 0.036) and satisfaction scores on days 1 and 30 (p = 0.004, p = 0.006, respectively), but fentanyl usage was similar. In the transmuscular quadratus lumborum group, the highest and lowest blocks observed in the recovery area were T4 and L1, respectively. The transmuscular quadratus lumborum technique cost 574.64 Australian dollars more per patient than the pre‐peritoneal catheter technique.

Published: August 2019

BackgroundParent–child interaction is essential in the development of attentional control (AC) and executive functioning (EF). Educating parents in AC and EF development may help them to respond more adaptively to their child's developmental needs.AimThis study aimed to investigate whether parents can be educated to improve interactions with their child through a compact psycho‐educational programme that focuses on fostering the development of AC and EF.SampleParents and their children in a low‐risk sample of four‐ to eight‐year‐olds were randomly assigned to either the educational programme condition (N = 34) or the control condition (N = 36).MethodsParental supportive presence and intrusiveness were observed during home visits, and children's performance‐based AC and EF were assessed before and after the four‐session programme.ResultParents in the educational programme improved significantly in support ( = .19) and intrusiveness ( = .09) compared to controls. There was no short‐term programme mediation effect on child AC and EF through parental support and intrusiveness. This study showed, however, that parents who improved after the educational programme had children who improved on AC and EF.ConclusionParent–child interaction can be enhanced in a low‐risk sample of four‐ to eight‐year‐olds using a compact educational group programme within the school community. Future studies should aim at examining variations in programme responsiveness and assessing associations between parent–child interaction and AC and EF over time.
