Incidence of the thermal transition in the range of 45-5°C in chromatophores present in the wings of Schistocerca americana
Authors: Cañizares María Belén , Naranjo Nathaly , Mátyás Bence 
Published: February 2019

The variation of the color intensity of the chromatophores present in the wings ofSchistocerca americanawas analyzed by exposing 31 specimens to thermal transitions within the range of 45 - 5 °C. The adult specimens were collected using a mini-terrarium of dimensions 40x40x30 cm. As a substrate, a layer of soil, stones, and finally a layer of grass were used along with branches of bushes and leaves; hydroponic lettuce, cabbage and the grass were used as food for the specimens. Optical microscopy of the wings of the insects was used for live observation without coverslips or contrasting substances. At 45°C, degradation of color intensity was observed in the chromatophores present in the wings. At 5°C, chromatophores intensify their color to brownish-black. This temperature was the extreme minimum thatS. americanacould tolerate. We found negative correlation between the temperature and the degree of darkness (R2 = 0.8038). Our results are in accordance with a previously published study in whichPhaulacridium vittatumwas examined, as the decrease of temperature caused darkening color change in melanin-type chromatophores. The present investigation can be considered as the first initial study of its kind forS. americana, in terms of examining the changes in the color intensity of the chromatophores present in the wings caused by thermal transition under laboratory conditions.

BACKGROUNDAsymptomatic blood pressure elevation is common in the inpatient setting. National guidelines recommend treating with oral agents to slowly decrease blood pressure; however, many clinicians use intravenous antihypertensive medications, which can lead to unpredictable changes in blood pressure.OBJECTIVETo decrease the number of inappropriate orders (without symptoms of hypertensive emergency or order for NPO) of intravenous antihypertensives and adverse events associated with intravenous orders.DESIGNQuasi‐experimental study with multidisciplinary intervention.PARTICIPANTSInpatients with a one‐time order for an intravenous antihypertensive agent from January 2016 to February 2018.MAIN MEASURESThe main outcomes were the total numbers of orders and inappropriate orders, adverse events, and alternate etiologies per 1,000 patient‐days. As a balancing measure, patients were monitored for adverse events when blood pressure was elevated and not treated.KEY RESULTSThere were a total of 260 one‐time orders of intravenous antihypertensives on two medical units. Inappropriate orders decreased from 8.3 to 3.3 per 1,000 patient days (P = .0099). Adverse events associated with intravenous antihypertensives decreased from 3.7 to 0.8 per 1,000 patient days (P = .0072).CONCLUSIONThis initiative demonstrated a significant reduction in inappropriate use of IV antihypertensives and an associated reduction in adverse events.
Institutional Investors and Corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance Policies: Evidence from Toxics Release Data
Authors: Kim Incheol , Wan Hong , Wang Bin , Yang Tina 
Published: February 2019

This paper studies the role of institutional investors in influencing corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies by analyzing the relation between institutional ownership and toxic release from facilities to which institutions are geographically proximate. We develop a local preference hypothesis based on the delegated philanthropy and transaction-costs theories. Consistent with the hypothesis, local institutional ownership is negatively related to facility toxic release. The negative relation is stronger for local socially responsible investing (SRI) funds, local public pension funds, and local dedicated institutions. We also find that the relation is more negative in communities that prefer more stringent environmental policies and in communities of greater collective cohesiveness. Local institutional ownership, particularly local ownerships by SRI funds and public pension funds, is positively related to the probability that an ESG proposal is either introduced or withdrawn. The paper sheds light on the drivers behind institutions’ ESG engagement and their effectiveness in influencing ESG. This paper was accepted by Gustavo Manso, finance.
A Sharp Test of the Portability of Expertise
Authors: Green Etan A. , Rao Justin M. , Rothschild David 
Published: February 2019

To what extent does expertise depend on context? We observe professionals perform a task that is logically isomorphic to—but contextually distinct from—a familiar task in which they are skilled. We find that performance plummets when contextual cues disappear, suggesting that the expertise we observe on the familiar task is more heuristic than conceptual and does not travel far. The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2018.3063 . This paper was accepted by John List, behavioral economics.
Lack of Additional Diagnostic Yield of 16s rRNA Gene PCR for Prosthetic Joint Infections
Authors: Lane Michael A , Ganeshraj Neeraja , Gu Alice , Warren David K , Burnham Carey-Ann D 
Published: February 2019

Abstract

Introduction
Medical management of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) relies on the identification of causative organisms through traditional culture-based approaches to guide therapy. However, diagnosis of many PJIs remains challenging, with many clinically apparent infections remaining culture-negative. Molecular diagnostics have the potential to increase diagnostic yield, particularly among culture-negative PJIs.

Methods
Bone, tissue, or synovial fluid from patients with clinically identified PJIs were collected for inclusion in this study. Samples were assessed with traditional cultures and classified as culture-positive or -negative after 48 h. Samples subsequently underwent a Staphylococcus aureus-/Kingella kingae-specific PCR followed by a 16s rRNA gene PCR.

Results
A total of 77 unique patients with clinically identified PJIs contributed a total of 89 samples for inclusion in the study. There were 54 culture-negative and 35 culture-positive samples evaluated. The sensitivity and specificity of S. aureus PCR in culture-positive samples was 57.1% (95% CI, 34.1%–78.1%) and 92.9% (95% CI, 66.1%–98.9%), respectively. Among culture-positive samples, 16s rRNA gene PCR correctly identified 3 of 21 (14.3%) samples with S. aureus and 2 of 5 (40%) samples with Streptococcus spp. All molecular tests were negative in those with clinically identified, culture-negative PJI.

Conclusions
Our study suggests that these diagnostic tools have a limited role in PJI diagnosis.
Utilization Review of Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndrome Antibody Screening Panels: Experience at a Tertiary Academic Health Center
Authors: Kim Jong T , Harris Neil S 
Published: February 2019

Abstract

Background
Pathology departments play a pivotal role in managing laboratory test utilization in healthcare, and inappropriate resource deployment can contribute to unnecessary healthcare costs. Here we share our experience reviewing a send-out test and implementing a utilization strategy. Antibody testing is often considered in the workup for patients with unexplained paraneoplastic syndrome–like neurological presentations. It has been unclear how helpful these antibody tests are. The goal of study is to evaluate diagnostic utility of antibody screening panel results in patients suspicious for paraneoplastic neurological syndrome and possibly underlying occult malignancy.

Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the paraneoplastic neurological syndrome antibody test results. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated. The proportion of the antibody screening results were compared between groups with and without tumor with 2-sided χ2 test statistics.

Results
In total 348 panels were sent to 2 reference laboratories. From ARUP (Associated Regional and University Pathologists; Salt Lake City, Utah), 2 out of 232 screening panels yielded positive results (0.86%) and from the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota), 26 out of 116 screening panels yielded positive results (22.4%). The overall positive predictive value was 3.57% (1/28) and the overall negative predictive value was 91.2% (292/320). There were no statistically significant differences between the antibody screening test results between the 2 groups with and without tumor.

Conclusion
We found the diagnostic utility and yield for the paraneoplastic antibody panel to be low. Following a multidisciplinary team review of the study results, the pathology department has implemented several new utilization strategies.
Escepticismo, materialismo y clandestinidad. Los primeros escritos de Diderot
Authors: Ponce Esteban 
Published: February 2019

En este trabajo abordamos la relación entre escepticismo, materialismo y clandestinidad en los primeros escritos de Denis Diderot. A partir del estudio de las referencias al escepticismo encontradas en su traducción de An Inquiry Concerning Virtue or Merit de Shaftesbury y analizando las posiciones sostenidas posteriormente en dos obras de su propia autoría -Pensamientos filosóficos (1746) y El paseo del escéptico (1747)-, intentamos mostrar: a) qué significado tiene el escepticismo en tanto actitud filosófica en la obra del joven Diderot, y b) cómo se configuró la transformación de mitad de siglo en el movimiento ilustrado y qué papel cumplió nuestro autor en la misma.
¡No pienses, mira!: aspectos, persuasión y filosofía en Wittgenstein
Authors: Burdman Federico 
Published: February 2019

En este trabajo me propongo explorar algunas consecuencias que implica adoptar una lectura disolutoria fuerte de las Investigaciones Filosóficas de Wittgenstein. A tal fin, recorreré los textos clave para la lectura disolutoria y exploraré la relación que tal concepción guarda con el estilo de composición de la obra, a partir de la clarificación del tipo de objetivo que Wittgenstein se propone. A partir de allí, desarrollaré las consecuencias que supone el modo wittgensteiniano de entender la terapia filosófica sobre los recursos argumentativos con que puede desarrollarse dicha empresa, en términos del contraste entre argumentación y persuasión. Finalmente, propondré que el trabajo del terapeuta filosófico que pretende llevarnos a ver el lenguaje de otra manera puede iluminarse a partir de un paralelismo con el tratamiento wittgensteiniano de la visión de aspectos.

This study discusses about the condition of the re-employed senior workers after retirement in Japan’s manufacturing companies. Since experiencing demographics problems, Japan faces many obstacles, one of them in the employment sector. Meanwhile, the government more incentive to make efforts to make Japan's rise from the stagnant economic situation after the economic recession since the 1990s. One of them by employing returning senior workers who have retired. The age of workers in Japan's pensions set by the government at the age of 60 years and the government is trying to raise the limit. Policies readmission of senior workers in the manufacturing companies of Japan after retirement is the type of work contract system. With a logical consequence of the creation of a number of different conditions with the conditions of the workers before retirement. The most prominent difference is the condition of the status of work and reduced the salary given up to 50% as a result of the worker's status has changed. However, there are still some conditions such as the number of hours worked, the same job. And on the part of senior workers have a good respon to their readmission policies in the company to support the employment sector in Japan. To obtain primary data, the authors distributed questionnaires to employees of manufacturing companies who are above the age of 60. In addition, the authors also conducted interviews to a number of parties for additional data.

This study aims to explore coping strategies used by parents’ of children with mosaic sex chromosome Disorders of Sex Development (DSD). The study applied the sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach that collected quantitative data prior to qualitative data. Participants were parents of the affected patients diagnosed with DSD with the following karyotype XX/XY, X/XY, XYY, or XXY variants. In total, 14 mothers and 12 fathers of 14 patients with a mosaic sex chromosome DSD participated in this study. We used the Indonesian version of BRIEF COPE to collect quantitative data on coping strategies. Furthermore, an invidual interview was conducted to all participants to elaborate the coping strategies applied by parents in raising their children. The data analysis identified the four most preferred parental coping strategies: religion, positive reframing, acceptance, and active coping whereas the least preferred coping strategies were humor, substance use, and behavior disengagement. Mothers and fathers in the study did not significantly differ in applying their coping strategies (p>.05). The study suggests health practitioners working with parents of patients affected with mosaic sex chromosome DSD to promote the religion, positive reframing, acceptance, and active coping strategies to facilitate a better acceptance of the affected children.
ANALISIS MAKNA KONJUNGSI SONOUE DAN SHIKAMO SEBAGAI SINONIM DALAM BAHASA JEPANG
Authors: Rosliana Lina 
Published: February 2019

(Title: Conjunction Shikamo and Sonoue as a Synonym in Japanese Linguistics) Japanese words have more synonyms than Indonesian words. For example, to say 'increase' in Japanese, we can use fueru (増える), masu (増す), and zouka suru (増加する). Similarly, other words, which in Indonesian equally mean 'bertanya', Japanese has kiku (聞く) and tazuneru (尋ねる). Such synonymous words often make it difficult for the Japanese learner to use them in a sentence, either written or oral, so the analysis of the meaning of synonymous words becomes an important thing in order for conforming the word we choose to the intention we want to convey . This research will discuss conjunctions sonoue (そのうえ) and shikamo (しかも) as synonyms, both of which can be paired with 'selain itu' in Indonesian. This study will be described with explanation pf every meaning that both conjunctions have, as well as similarities and differences in terms of meaning and usage. The method used is an analytic descriptive method. The object of this research is Japanese sentences that use sonoue and shikamo conjunctions, and a case study of both conjunctions.Keywords :conjunction, sonoue, shikamo, synonym

(Title: Sadou: Representation Of East Asia Hospitality) Sadou is a Japanese traditional etiquette of preparing and drinking tea and was originally developed from China. Sadou brought to Japan by Buddhist monk from China. Although the main purpose is to enjoy tea however the manner, performance, tea equipment, tea room, and the decoration of the tea room are also important and performed as part of the composite arts. Ichi go ichi e is a concept connected to the way of tea (sadou) is expresses the ideal of the way of tea. The phrase means ‘one time one meeting’ or ‘one encounter one opportunity’. In sadou we should respect the host and the others in the tea room and honor the moment as if it were a once in a lifetime gathering. That is we should cherish every meeting for it will never happen again. ichi go ichi e is the reminder that each tea ceremony is unique even though the elements are familiar.
THE ASPECT OF CONFLICT BETWEEN PATERNALISM AND CONSTITUTIONALISM IN KOREAN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY
Authors: OH Kyong-geun 
Published: February 2019

As of the 21st century, Koreans are struggling to achieve an advanced society. Material abundance may be a prerequisite for advanced society, but what is more important and essential is transparent and just society implementation in which an equal opportunity is given to all members of society and fair competition is ensured by fair rules. Unfortunately, in the Korean society, almost in all the layers of it, corruption and injustice/ immorality are still rampant.I believe that such a phenomenon comes from the weak sense of the rule of law in Korean society compared with the other developed countries. Therefore, this paper considers the structure of consciousness of Koreans, which makes such things possible and makes it harder to eradicate, centered on Confucianism which emphasizes humanism or paternalism rather than the rule of law, and the mindset/ consciousness of Korean shamanism which does not actively try to fight against evil.
ColumnML

Published: February 2019

The ability to perform machine learning (ML) tasks in a database management system (DBMS) provides the data analyst with a powerful tool. Unfortunately, integration of ML into a DBMS is challenging for reasons varying from differences in execution model to data layout requirements. In this paper, we assume a column-store main-memory DBMS, optimized for online analytical processing, as our initial system. On this system, we explore the integration of coordinate-descent based methods working natively on columnar format to train generalized linear models. We use a cache-efficient, partitioned stochastic coordinate descent algorithm providing linear throughput scalability with the number of cores while preserving convergence quality, up to 14 cores in our experiments.
Existing column oriented DBMS rely on compression and even encryption to store data in memory. When those features are considered, the performance of a CPU based solution suffers. Thus, in the paper we also show how to exploit hardware acceleration as part of a hybrid CPU+FPGA system to provide on-the-fly data transformation combined with an FPGA-based coordinate-descent engine. The resulting system is a column-store DBMS with its important features preserved (e.g., data compression) that offers high performance machine learning capabilities.

Abstract
Setting time and rheology of mixtures are among the most important features in new generation concretes such as self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and can have a great impact on the behavior of fresh concrete. Therefore, introducing new methods for determining these parameters has always been one of the main concerns. In this research, we tried to determine a relationship between the measured setting time from the ASTM C403/C403M-08, Standard Test Method for Time of Setting of Concrete Mixtures by Penetration Resistance Method, and the electrical resistance (ER) method, as well as the rheological parameters, including dynamic and static yield stress. Also, a new method for determining the setting time and concrete thixotropy—called the plate test method—is introduced and validated. The results indicated that the ER method is an accurate one in determining the initial and final setting time of SCC mixtures. Concrete mixtures with higher yield stress (static and dynamic) have a shorter setting time. Investigating the results indicated that the higher the static yield stress mean of the mixture in the time period of thixotropic behavior, the shorter the initial setting time. Therefore, increasing static yield stress is associated with a reduction in the setting time. In the case of dynamic yield stress, similar events occurred with static yield stresses, and an increase in this stress and its growth rate was associated with a reduction in the initial setting time. Furthermore, the results obtained by the new method (plate method), along with the results of rheology parameters measured by the rheometer device, indicated that the difference between results was in the range of 4 to 11 %. Also, the difference in the setting time obtained from the plate method in comparison with the penetration resistance method was 9 % at maximum. These results indicated that the plate test method has an acceptable accuracy in measuring the setting time and thixotropy.
