Published: May 2018

Background and purpose: Orthostatic headache is a hallmark of patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) but may also occur in patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Our aim was to compare the clinical symptoms and findings of autonomic function testing in patients with SIH and POTS. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of the clinical symptoms and findings of autonomic function testing, including sympathetic vasoconstrictor and parasympathetic cardiac function as well as head-up tilt in patients with SIH and POTS. Results: Nine patients with confirmed SIH and 48 with POTS (neuropathic N = 35, hyperadrenergic N = 5, deconditioned N = 8) were included. SIH patients experienced on average a shorter disease duration than patients with POTS. Orthostatic headache was present in all patients with SIH and 27% of patients with POTS. There was a broad overlap of other clinical symptoms of orthostatic intolerance. Screening autonomic function testing revealed normal sympathetic and parasympathetic function in all patients. All patients with SIH showed an excessive clinically symptomatic heart rate increase during standing, fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for POTS. Conclusion: Clinical symptoms and results of autonomic function testing overlap in SIH and POTS. Hence, patients with prominent orthostatic headache fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for POTS should also be evaluated for further testing of a spinal cerebrospinal fluid leak, in the absence of a history of lumbar puncture.

Published: May 2018

AbstractIn the age of big data, plenty of valuable sensing data have been shared to enhance scientific innovation. However, this may cause unexpected privacy leakage. Although numerous privacy preservation techniques, such as perturbation, encryption, and anonymization, have been proposed to conceal sensitive information, it is usually at the cost of the application utility. Moreover, most of the existing works did not distinguished the underlying factors, such as data features and sampling rate, which contribute differently to utility and privacy information implied in the shared data. To well balance the application utility and privacy leakage for data sharing, we utilize mutual information and visualization techniques to analyze the impact of the underlying factors on utility and privacy, respectively, and design an interactive visualization tool to help users identify the appropriate solution to achieve the objectives of high application utility and low privacy leakage simultaneously. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and tool, accelerometer data collected from mobile devices have been adopted as an illustrative example. Experimental study has shown that feature selection and sampling frequency play dominant roles in reducing privacy leakage with much less reduction on utility, and the proposed visualization tool can effectively recommend the appropriate combination of features and sampling rates that can help users make decision on the trade-off between utility and privacy.

Authors: Yamane Shogo , Suzuki Yasumasa , Mizukado Junji 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The relationship between photostability and dispersed structures of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):fullerene films was studied using atomic force microscopy and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The films with higher dispersity showed better photostability. An evaluation method based on UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy was found to be promising to estimate the photostability of the films.
Establishment of a method for Lutzomyia longipalpis sand fly embryo microinjection: The first step towards potential novel control strategies for leishmaniasis
Authors: Jeffries Claire L. , Rogers Matthew E. , Walker Thomas 
Published: May 2018

Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease transmitted by sand flies that affects 1.3 million people across 98 countries, with limited control strategies due to the lack of an available vaccine and the emergence of insecticide resistance. Novel control strategies that are being explored for mosquito-borne diseases, such as Wolbachia bacterial inhibition of pathogens and genetically modified insects (e.g. using CRISPR-Cas9 editing), rely on the ability to consistently inject embryos of the target species. Here we present a novel method to obtain and inject preblastoderm sand fly embryos of the genus Lutzomyia (Lu.) longipalpis, the principle vector of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in South America. The procedures required to obtain sufficiently young Lu. longipalpis colony embryos are described alongside a microinjection technique that permits rapid injection and minimal handling of small sand fly embryos post-injection. Using a strain of Wolbachia as a ‘marker’ for successful injection, our protocol produced early generation Wolbachia transinfected Lu. longipalpis lines, demonstrating its potential as the first step for use in novel applied strategies for sand fly control.

Missed Work Due to Occupational Illness among Hispanic Horse Workers
Authors: Bush Ashley M. , Westneat Susan , Browning Steven R. , Swanberg Jennifer 
Published: May 2018

Abstract. Occupational illnesses are inadequately reported for agriculture, an industry dominated by a vulnerable Hispanic population and high fatal and nonfatal injury rates. Work-related illnesses can contribute to missed work, caused by a combination of personal and work factors, with costs to the individual, employer, and society. To better understand agricultural occupational illnesses, 225 Hispanic horse workers were interviewed via community-based convenience sampling. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and log binomial regression modeling were used to: (1) describe the prevalence of missed work due to work-related illnesses among Hispanic horse workers, (2) examine work-related and personal factors associated with missed work, and (3) identify health symptoms and work-related characteristics potentially associated with missed work. Key findings reveal that having at least one child (PR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.03, 2.84), having poor self-reported general health (PR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.48, 1.08), experiencing stress during a typical workday (PR = 2.58, 95% CI = 1.25, 5.32), or spending less time with horses (PR = 1.87, 95% CI = 1.15, 3.05) are significant predictors of missing work. Interventions can be designed to identify workers most susceptible to missing work and provide resources to reduce absenteeism. Future research should examine work-related illness in agricultural horse production, including personal and work-related factors, in order to diminish occupational health disparities among these workers, who are more likely to be employed in hazardous agricultural work. Keywords: Agriculture, Health disparities, Horse workers, Missed work, Occupational illness, Worker absenteeism.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The negotiation act between Serbia and the European Union began on the basis of Article 49 of the EU Contract. The act and development of negotiations will be led by Serbia’s progress in the accession preparation, especially within the frame of economic and social convergence. The progress will be measured especially in meeting the Copenhagen criteria, as well as the requirements defined by the Stabilization and Association Agreement. Also, the accession implies accepting the institutional framework of the Union, known as acquis. Acquis special importance for Serbia as a candidate country have regarding economic issues and its jurisdiction. In this sense, it is of great importance to have an overview of facts presented in the paper, which relate to certain economic categories, primarily the movement of Gross domestic product and rate of (un)employment, as well as the steps that Serbia took on their way to the Union.
Optical characteristics of Douglas fir at various densities, grain directions and thicknesses investigated by near-infrared spatially resolved spectroscopy (NIR-SRS)

Published: May 2018

Abstract
A near-infrared spatially resolved spectroscopy (NIR-SRS) system, also called the hyperspectral imaging system, was applied in a line scanning model combined with a concentrated halogen light source (Ø 1 mm), and spatially resolved reflectance images of Douglas fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] wood were obtained. The samples with various densities, grain directions and thicknesses were observed in the NIR range of 1000–1600 nm. Then, a nonlinear curve-fitting algorithm was applied based on the steady-state diffusion theory model to estimate the absorption coefficient (μa
), and reduced scattering coefficients (

μ
′

s

${\mu '_s}$

) both parallel and perpendicular to the grain direction at each measurement position. The absorption scattering coefficients at 1457 nm and two kinds of reduced scattering coefficients at 1002 nm were highly correlated with wood densities measured by an X-ray densitometer. The correlation coefficients were 0.953 and 0.987 for 3 mm and 5 mm samples, respectively, while three optical profiles were combined. It can be concluded that NIR-SRS is a fast and simple method for measuring the optical characteristics of softwood, although it has a non-homogeneous cellular structure. Sub-surface density and grain direction could be predicted with satisfactory accuracy based on a few key wavelengths without relying on multivariate statistical analysis.

Zusammenfassung
„Big Data“ ist eine Kurzbezeichnung für algorithmisch gestützte Verfahren zur Verarbeitung großer Datenmengen. Der Erfolg dieses Vorgehens und – in höherem Maß – seine medienwirksame Präsentation hängt direkt mit dem von ihm als problematisch erkannten Paradigma der relationalen Datenbanktheorie zusammen. Darum ist einleitend ein Blick auf deren Grundzüge zu werfen. Nur so wird der Kontrast zum konkurrierenden Ansatz deutlich. Der entscheidende Punkt ist die überwältigende Masse an Information, die durch neue Technologien sowohl erzeugt als auch gesammelt wird. Ihrem Ansturm scheint die konventionelle Theorie nicht gewachsen zu sein. Diese Herausforderung wird in einem zweiten Abschnitt diskutiert. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die Datenflut, die eine mathematisch-statistische Behandlung nötig macht, eine geänderte Einstellung zu erkenntnistheoretischen Fragen provoziert. Ob man ihr folgen soll, ist abschließend zu fragen.

Four established change models have been applied to the bank to find out how a change comes in/ is brought in, managed, and how it affects organizational environment and its stakeholders, particularly customers and employees. The four established change models applied are the change management approach by Ansoff and McDonnell; the change management model by Kurt Lewin; the 7S framework by Thoman J. Peters and Robert H. Waterman; and the change management model developed by Stephanie Elam. The study covers a change management aspect such as strategic intervention technique; a need for change management; resource implication; planning change; strategies in change management; system effectiveness; managing resistance to change; leadership issues; cultural issues; people issues; external environment issues; workable approach to overcome change resistance; appropriate model and implementing the model.
The Evolution of Management Theories: A Literature Review
Authors: Kwok Angus C. F. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the evolution of management theories with an emphasis on human resource management (HRM). It examines the early philosophical viewpoints which laid the foundation for the development of management theories. It traces the evolution of management theories from the pre-industrial revolution through the two world wars to the era of rapid economic growth of the 1960s to the 1980s. In recent years, management theories had become more multi-faceted where emphasis has shifted from behavioural science to organisational structures and quality assurance. With rapid globalisation and increasing importance of cultural awareness, the paper concludes that more research will be needed in the area of cross-cultural and multi-national human resource management.

Abstract
Stroiney, DA, Mokris, RL, Hanna, GR, and Ranney, JD. Examination of self-myofascial release vs. instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization techniques on vertical and horizontal power in recreational athletes. J Strength Cond Res 34(1): 79–88, 2020—This study examined whether pre-exercise self-myofascial release (SMR) and instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM) would improve performance on measures of vertical jump height and 40-yd sprint time. Differences in perceived pain levels were also examined. Forty-nine college students volunteered for the study and were randomly assigned to receive either IASTM via Tècnica Gavilàn PTB or SMR via The Stick before performance assessments. After the massage intervention, subjects rated their level of perceived pain using a visual analog scale. An independent t test was used to analyze differences in perceived pain levels between the 2 massage interventions. A 2 × 2 analyses of covariance analyzed differences between sex and the 2 massage interventions. There was no interaction (p > 0.05) between the massage intervention and sex for both the vertical jump and 40-yd sprint tests. There was a significant main effect for vertical jump and SMR (p = 0.04). Sex also had a significant main effect for both the vertical jump (p = 0.04) and the 40-yd sprint (p = 0.02). There were no significant differences between massage interventions for the 40-yd sprint times (p = 0.73). There were no significant differences in perceived pain (t(49) = −1.60, p > 0.05). The use of SMR before exercise may improve vertical jump height in recreational athletes. Pain should not be a factor when choosing massage interventions for athletes because IASTM was not perceived to be more painful than SMR. Self-myofascial release and IASTM did not enhance sprinting performance in this study.
Performance of Ground-Glass Pozzolan as a Cementitious Material—A Review
Authors: Omran Ahmed , Soliman Nancy , Zidol Ablam , Tagnit-Hamou Arezki 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Ground-glass pozzolan (GP) obtained by grinding the mixed-waste glass to a similar fineness as cement can act as a supplementary cementing material (SCM), given that it is an amorphous and a pozzolanic material. The GP showed promising performance in mortar and concrete mixtures in laboratory and in large-scale field applications, enabling it to be a useful new SCM. However, while there are results about the use of GP in mortar and concrete, there is no single study covering all the aspects of using GP in mortar and concrete that satisfies the requirements of the ASTM and CSA Standard Specifications. This review on the use of GP in mortar and concrete compiles and analyzes the available data concerning the characteristics, production rates, and performance of GP used in mortar and concrete to provide the necessary information for updating the ASTM and CSA Standard Specifications to consider the GP as a new SCM.

Gambling problems and the impact of family in UK armed forces veterans
Authors: Dighton Glen , Roberts Elystan , Hoon Alice E. , Dymond Simon 
Published: May 2018

Background and aims
International evidence indicates elevated problem gambling rates in armed forces veterans compared with the general population. Gambling problems adversely impact one’s family, and family-related variables may increase vulnerability to gambling-related harm. Little is known, however, about gambling problems in the United Kingdom (UK) veterans or to what extent family variables, such as parenting history and experience of domestic violence, influence veterans’ gambling.

Methods
We compared veterans (n = 257) and sex- and age-matched controls (n = 514) drawn from the 2007 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey on gambling, financial management, domestic violence, childhood parental presence, and experience of stressful life events. Veterans who left the military before or after 4 years of service were compared.

Results
Problem gambling was significantly more prevalent in veterans (1.4%) than non-veterans (0.2%), and the impact of gambling problems on the family was specific to male veterans, particularly those who had experienced a traumatic event after the age of 16, and those who were more likely to have been physically attacked by their partner. Overall, this study revealed that the UK armed forces veterans report a higher prevalence rate of problem gambling compared with non-veterans, with potential negative impact on family life.

Dass die Komplexität vernetzter Komponenten und deren Entwicklung zunehmen, ist hinlänglich bekannt. So zieht sich das Motiv „Komplexitätssteigerung“ wie ein roter Faden durch die verschiedenen Abschnitte des Statusreports. Deshalb wird auf das Motiv und dessen Ausprägung im Anschluss eingegangen. Wir haben folgendes Verständnis von Komplexität [1]:
Die Komplexität eines Systems ergibt sich aus der Gesamtheit ihrer voneinander abhängigen Merkmale und Elemente, die ein ganzheitliches Beziehungsgefilde bilden. Im Kontext von Industrie-4.0 ist eine Steigerung der Komplexität von Systemen unter anderem durch diese Faktoren erkennbar:

Heterogenität der Komponenten
Wechselwirkung der Komponenten innerhalb des Systems
Systemübergreifende Kommunikation
Änderung von Systemstrukturen durch Ad-hoc-Vernetzung und Rekonfiguration
Skalierung des Systems
Gemeinsame Betrachtung von Software, Hardware und Kommunikation.
