Published: November 2018

BackgroundThe extent to which exposure to childhood sexual and physical abuse increases the risk of psychotic experiences in adulthood is currently unclear.AimsTo examine the relationship between childhood sexual and physical abuse and psychotic experiences in adulthood taking into account potential confounding and time-dynamic covariate factors.MethodData were from a cohort of 1265 participants studied from birth to 35 years. At ages 18 and 21, cohort members were questioned about childhood sexual and physical abuse. At ages 30 and 35, they were questioned about psychotic experiences (symptoms of abnormal thought and perception). Generalised estimating equation models investigated covariation of the association between abuse exposure and psychotic experiences including potential confounding factors in childhood (socioeconomic disadvantage, adverse family functioning) and time-dynamic covariate factors (mental health, substance use and life stress).ResultsData were available for 962 participants; 6.3% had been exposed to severe sexual abuse and 6.4% to severe physical abuse in childhood. After adjustment for confounding and time-dynamic covariate factors, those exposed to severe sexual abuse had rates of abnormal thought and abnormal perception symptoms that were 2.25 and 4.08 times higher, respectively than the ‘no exposure’ group. There were no significant associations between exposure to severe physical abuse and psychotic experiences.ConclusionsFindings indicate that exposure to severe childhood sexual (but not physical) abuse is independently associated with an increased risk of psychotic experiences in adulthood (particularly symptoms of abnormal perception) and this association could not be fully accounted for by confounding or time-dynamic covariate factors.Declaration of interestNone.

Purpose Precision oncology is widely discussed, but cohort studies are limited. We previously reported our prospective experience of precision oncology in solid tumors, and here we report our longitudinal experience, focusing on therapeutic impact. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 600 consecutive patients seen at Cleveland Clinic from 2013 to 2016 for treatment of incurable solid tumor malignancies for whom tumor genomic profiling was ordered using FoundationOne (Cambridge, MA). Results were discussed at our multidisciplinary genomics tumor board. Data analyzed included subsequent therapy and overall survival (OS). Results Median age was 59 years (range, 18 to 94 years), 308 (51.3%) were female, and 533 (88.8%) were white. Targeted therapy was recommended in 310 patients (51.7%). After results, 313 patients (52.2%) started any subsequent therapy; of these, 95 (30%; 15.8% overall) received genomics-driven therapy (G), and 218 (70%) received non–genomics-driven treatment (NG). For the G versus NG group, the on-label, off-label, and clinical trial therapy breakdowns were 23% versus 88%, 47% versus 3%, and 30% versus 9%, respectively. Median OS for patients receiving no therapy after tumor genomic profiling was 5.5 months; for the G and NG groups, it was 18 ( P < .001) and 14.4 ( P < .001) months, respectively ( P = NS for G v NG). The use of G increased from 10% in the first 250-patient cohort (reported earlier) to 20% in the subsequent 350-patient cohort. Conclusion Tumor genomic profiling influenced treatment in 15.8% of patients. More patients received treatment via clinical trials in the G cohort, and although not statistically significant, there was a trend toward increased OS in the G ( v NG) group. These data can further guide real-world applications of precision oncology.

Background:Though widely discussed, mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) to improve maternal mental health is limited by lack of studies with system incorporation. We evaluate the feasibility of incorporating a MBI program into routine antenatal care (ANC) in Sri Lanka.Methods:MBI included learning mindfulness concepts, practicing mindfulness sitting/reclining meditation, performing mindful movements and practicing mindfulness in daily life. Feedback from the participants were obtained through an anonymous, self-administered, semi-structured questionnaire to determine the program’s cultural appropriateness, usefulness, and feasibility.Results:Participants reported that the training reduced the stress of their daily life, brought a sense of calmness to their mind and body, and improved their anger management. Participants felt strongly that this training would be very useful and a shortened version be included in the national ANC program.Conclusions:A systematic assessment of impact of MBI is needed with system incorporation of the suggested programme.
The classification of asexual organisms: Old myths, new facts, and a novel pluralistic approach
Authors: Hörandl Elvira 
Published: November 2018

AbstractOrganisms reproducing via asexuality harbor a great diversity of lineages, morphotypes and ecotypes. However, classification of asexual taxa does not fit into contemporary species concepts, and hence the diversity of apomictic plant complexes is not well reflected in taxonomy. Plants reproducing via apomixis (i.e., asexual seed formation = agamospermy) exemplify the theoretical and practical problems of classification. Obligately asexual organisms do not form reproductive communities, but they do constitute ancestor‐descendant lineages. From the conceptual side, evolutionary lineage concepts would fit best for species delimitation. Recent research showed that these lineages are not necessarily threatened by rapid extinction and do have persistence in time and space. Facultative sexuality and low levels of residual recombination counteract the accumulation of deleterious mutations due to the lack of recombination (Muller’s ratchet). Apomictic lineages do have adaptive potential, which is demonstrated by the ability to occupy large distribution areas and to experience ecological niche shifts. The challenge for classification of asexual lineages, however, is to find operational criteria for species delimitation. Current practices of species delimitation can be grouped into four main principles: (1) the sexuals‐first principle means that obligate sexual progenitor species are classified separately from their apomictic derivatives. (2) The all‐in‐one principle merges sexual progenitors and highly facultative apomictic derivatives into one species, whereby the apomicts often represent autopolyploids without differentiated phenotypes. (3) The cluster concept applies to allopolyploid complexes with facultative apomixis and a huge diversity of genotypes and morphotypes; here the main genetic clusters are treated as species. (4) Almost obligate apomictic lineages are being classified as agamospecies. The four principles reflect quite well evolutionary traits and diversity of lineages. Finally, a recommendation for a workflow is given, following this gradient from obligate sexuality to obligate apomixis.

Der Rechtshistoriker Guido Kisch als Deutscher jüdischen Glaubens
Authors: Battenberg J. Friedrich 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The German-Jewish legal historian, Guido Kisch, born into the former Bohemian Jewish community of Prague, was a very famous scientist during the Weimar Republic and the first decades after the Second World War. Persecuted by the Nazis, he had to leave Germany for the United States of America. His research on matters relating to medieval German law, social and economic problems of medieval society, especially of the Jewish communities, became famous inside the scientific community. But less is known as to his Jewishness and the influence of his traditional Jewish views on his scientific ideas and discoveries, or of his personal reasons for his actions and decisions. The reasons for this lack of clarity are evidently, in his opinion, that one must separate legal analyses and research from personal influences and interests - apparently an opinion gained under the influence of Max Weber’s positivism. But we can find some indications in the biography of Guido Kisch and his family. The following reflections demonstrate that there definitely are connections between his (private) faith and his scientific findings.
Hans of Strasbourg - The Life and Deeds of a Jewish Convert and Impostor Revisited
Authors: Jütte Robert 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Gershom Scholems Kritik, die Wissenschaft des Judentums sei immer nur daran interessiert, was im »Salon« vorgehe, nicht aber im »Keller«, ist inzwischen von der neueren jüdischen Geschichtsschreibung Rechnung getragen worden. Dennoch gibt es immer noch zu wenige Studien zur jüdischen »Unterwelt«, vor allem in Hinblick auf die Geschichte der Juden vor der Emanzipation. Zu dieser »Unterwelt« gehörten auch Juden, die sich in betrügerischer Absicht mehrfach taufen ließen und nach ihrer Konversion auf die schiefe Bahn gerieten, weil sie mit den neuen Lebensumständen nicht zurechtkamen. Zu ihnen zählt im ausgehenden 15. Jahrhundert Hans von Straßburg, der sich in Straßburg zum Christentum bekehren ließ, durch das Land zog und immer wieder mit unterschiedlichen Delikten (Diebstahl, Ehebruch, Bettelei, Betrug, Erpressung) auf- und straffällig wurde, bevor er 1487 in die Mühlen der Nördlinger Justiz geriet, aber dennoch mit dem Leben davonkam. Seine zahlreichen Betrugsmaschen erlangten dadurch Nachruhm, dass frühneuzeitliche Schriften, die vor betrügerischen Bettlern und Gauner eindringlich warnten, sie erwähnen und mit seinem Namen verbinden. Seine spannende Lebensgeschichte wieder hier noch einmal aufgerollt und vor dem Hintergrund der neuen Forschungen zu Judentaufen in dieser Zeit beleuchtet.
Non-salient form in Chinese as a second language instruction: Input flood of Chinese notional passive construction
Authors: Zhang Liulin 
Published: November 2018

AbstractDrawing upon the frequency effect and the noticing hypothesis in language acquisition, input flood treatment was introduced to second language instruction involving artificially increased incidence of the target items in the audio or visual texts that learners are exposed to, with the expectation that this artificial increase will aid learners in noticing and then acquiring the form. Targeting at Chinese notional passive construction (NPC), the present study employs pre-post testing to assess the effect of input flood, and employs think-aloud protocol (including source attributions) analysis during the posttest to detect participants’ awareness of the linguistic knowledge underlying their choices. Results from experiment 1 show that in comparison with the marked 被bèi construction (BEIC), NPC is extremely difficult to be noticed in incidental exposure, rendering the input flood treatment helpless in participants’ acquisition of NPC. However, it is found in experiment 2 that the effect of input flood can be elicited with a little amount of explicit instruction, which is indicative of an indispensable role of explicit instruction in teaching non-salient language forms. Besides, the linguistic knowledge demonstrated by participants regarding the selectional constraints between NPC and BEIC is primarily unconscious and is inherent among intermediate and advanced Chinese learners.
Trithemius and the Legend of the Wild Hunt
Authors: McDonald William C. 
Published: November 2018

Zusammenfassung
Das rege Interesse des vielseitigen und renommierten Theologen, Kryptologen und Chronisten Johannes Trithemius (1462–1516) an allen Aspekten der Magie ist hinreichend dokumentiert. Bisher ist aber seine Einstellung zu einem Bereich des Zauberwesens weitgehend unbeachtet, nämlich zum weit verbreiteten, im Volksglauben fest verankerten Legendenkomplex Wilde Jagd/Wilder Jäger. Uns ist gelungen, in seinem chronikalischen Werk vier Stellen ausfindig zu machen, die differenzierten Schattierungen des Phänomens ans Licht bringen. Sie behandeln ein Totenheer, einen verfluchten, nächtlichen Jäger und zwei durch die Lüfte jagende Zauberer. Einer dieser Zauberer ist ein jüdischer Magier, der durch Sinnestäuschung das Trugbild einer Jagd hervorbringt. Es wird klar, dass der Abt Trithemius der Geisterjagd gegenüber wenig Skepsis aufwies. Im Gegenteil: durch die genaue Datierung jedes einzelnen Vorkommens (878 bis zum Jahr 1354) war er bestrebt, seinen Ausführungen Glauben zu schenken. Jeder Beleg lässt sich als warnendes Exempel interpretieren, aber der religiöse Firnis bleibt dünn.
Aqua vitae, aqua mortis – Die (Nicht-)Thematisierung von Branntwein in den Kinder- und Hausmärchen der Brüder Grimm
Authors: Leingang Oxane 
Published: November 2018

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag gilt dem Motiv des Branntweins in Grimms Märchen. Im Kontext der Abstinenz- und Mäßigungsbewegungen des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts werden neben den KHM zeitgenössische Werke eingehend behandelt (Ludwig Bechstein, Der Teufel ist los oder das Märlein, wie der Teufel den Branntwein erfand; Ludwig Aurbacher, Des armen Waisen Leben und Tod). Daraus ergibt sich eine Tabuisierung des Genussmittels „Branntwein“ bzw. seine Charakterisierung als magisch-dämonisches Universaltherapeutikum.
Synthesis and Characterization of Aluminum Containing Silica Aerogel Catalysts for Degradation of PLA
Authors: Sivri Seda , Dilek Cerag , Sezgi Naime Aslı 
Published: November 2018

AbstractAluminum loaded silica aerogel based catalysts were synthesized by impregnation of aluminum into silica aerogel produced using sol-gel method in different aluminum loadings (2.5–15 wt%) to investigate their performances in degradation of polylactic acid (PLA).Synthesized catalysts showed Type IV isotherm with H1 hysteresis which indicates the mesoporosity of the materials. They have demonstrated favorable properties in terms of high surface area (743–510 m2/g), pore volume (1.79–0.69 cm3/g), and pore diameter (6.38–3.60 nm) depending on aluminum loading amounts.Thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that metal loaded silica aerogel catalysts have an influence on degradation profile of PLA. A noticeable reduction in the activation energy for the PLA degradation was attained with an increase in aluminum loading. These findings show that silica aerogel catalysts are promising for the recycling processes of PLA with their pore characteristics and their acidity affect the degradation performance significantly.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT This article explores the implementation of a Voluntary Reading Program (VRP) which aims at stimulating an EFL reading interest among Indonesian EFL college students. This qualitative study conducted within seven weeks to EFL college students of State Islamic Institute of Tulungagung attending a practice course on Cultivating EFL Reading Habits formally set for eight meetings. This course is intended to address a big concern on the strategy to better stimulate EFL students’ reading habits. By the end of the program, through an interview done to all participants, the program indicates positive effect on stimulating the EFL college students to read for some reasons. Reading brings about great advantages to widen their knowledge and set awareness that reading is not a difficult activity since they can read a lot through their mobile phones (online reading). wriiten texts found anywhere, or even any ads hanged on the walls. In a nutshell, this program proves to be a good way of stimulating good habit of EFL reading for EFL college students. ABSTRAK Artikel ini mengeksplorasi implementasi Program Membaca Sukarela (PMS) yang bertujuan menstimulasi daya tarik membaca bacaan berbahasa Inggris bagi mahasiswa Indonesia yang belajar bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing. Penelitian qualitative dalam waktu 7 minggu kepada mahasiswa Prodi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris yang mengikuti mata kuliah praktikum “Cultivating EFL Reading Habits” secara formal dijadwalkan dalam waktu 8 minggu. Penelitian ini dilakukan karena perhatian besar terhadap permasalahan kebiasaan membaca para pembelajar bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing. Di akhir Program, melalui wawancara kepada seluruh peserta, Program ini mempunyai efek positif untuk menstimulasi mahasiswa bahasa Inggris untuk membaca karena membaca bermanfaat untuk memperluas pengetahuan mereka dan memunculkan kesadaran bahwa membaca merupakan kegiatan yang tidak sulit karena mereka bisa membaca banyak hal melalui HP (Online reading), tulisan-tulisan yang ditemukan dimana-mana atau bahkan iklan yang dipasang di dinding. Singkatnya, Program Membaca Sukarela terbukti sebagai cara yang baik untuk menstimulasi mahasiswa bahasa Inggris untuk mencintai membaca bacaan-bacaan berbahasa Inggris. How to Cite: Iftanti, E.

Indonesian University Graduates’ English Competence for Facing the Asean Economic Community (AEC)
Authors: Silalahi Rentauli Mariah 
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) has been started since 2015, yet Indonesia is not ready because many Indonesian graduates are not ready with adequate English competence. This means many students graduated from universities with poor English proficiency. To investigate this unpreparedness, this study was carried out to one of the universities in Indonesia by doing documents analysis towards the university’s curriculum and the graduates’ English proficiency as measured by TOEFL ITP test. After the analysis, this study found out that the university was not yet ready to produce graduates who are competent in English because the graduates’ TOEFL ITP average score for all years was 457. From 944 graduates batch 2001 to 2013, there were only 2 percent who could achieve a TOEFL ITP score of 550 or more. These research findings will be very useful for stakeholder and any other universities for reflection on their preparation for producing graduates who are competent in English. ABSTRAK Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA) telah dimulai sejak 2015, namun Indonesia belum siap karena banyak lulusan Indonesia belum memiliki kompetensi bahasa Inggris yang memadai.
