Male guilt – and shame-proneness: The Personal Feelings Questionnaire (PFQ-2 Brief)
Authors: Rice Simon , Kealy David , Treeby Matt , Ferlatte Olivier , Oliffe John , Ogrodniczuk John 
Published: June 2018

Aim of the studyExtant research points to shame and guilt as salient affective experiences for men’s mental health outcomes. As the constructs of shame and guilt gain increasing research attention in relation to at-risk men, including those with recent military combat experience, history of sexual abuse, substance misuse, and suicidality, valid and reliable assessment is needed. The present psychometric validation studies aimed to validate a short-form of the Personal Feelings Questionnaire (PFQ-2) for assessing guilt and shame.Subject or material and methodsData was collected from four independent samples of men (total N=1,042) across community and clinical populations.ResultsIn Study 1a (n=333) the factor structure of the original 16-item PFQ-2 was rejected. In Study 1b (n=332), a seven-item PFQ-2 Brief was calibrated. This was validated using confirmatory factor analysis in Study 1c (n=335; CFI=.986, TLI=.978, RMSEA=.060, SRMR=.026). Finally, PFQ-2 Brief properties were evaluated in 42 men attending outpatient psychiatric care.DiscussionThe PFQ-2 Brief appears to provide a valid and reliable measure for assessing guilt- and shame-proneness in men.ConclusionsUse of the PFQ-2 Brief should aid further investigations of the manner in which these two affect styles impact help-seeking, treatment engagement, treatment outcomes, and men’s overall mental health.
Tłumacz i człowiek teatru: Jan Nepomucen Kamiński (1777-1855)
Authors: Eberharter Markus 
Published: June 2018

Translator and a Theatre Man: Jan Nepomucen Kamiński (1777-1855)The article characterizes Jan Nepomucen Kamiński as a translator and seeks to determine how important to him was his translation work compared to his other activities (e.g. he is mostly known as the director of the Polish theatre in Lviv). Kamiński’s way to becoming a translator is presented, as well as his socialization in languages and literature. Furthermore, the article gives more detailed information about the translations of Schiller, because Kamiński is mainly known as a translator of this German author. Finally, Kamiński’s conception of translation is discussed, based on the lyrical reflections „O tłómaczeniu” [About translation].

Authors: Bulger Jenna K , Ali Khalid , Edwards Adrian , Ford Gary , Hampton Chelsey , Jones Charlene , Moore Chris , Porter Alison , Quinn Tom , Seagrove Anne , Snooks Helen , Rees Nigel 
Published: June 2018

Background: In secondary care, the urgency of review for transient ischaemic attack (TIA) has relied upon the use of the ABCD2 score, but this tool is not validated for use by emergency ambulance crews. There is a need to evaluate alternative care pathways for patients who might be eligible for direct referral to TIA clinics without prior conveyance to the emergency department (ED). Aim: The aim of this national survey was to describe current service provision across the UK for pre-hospital emergency care of patients with TIA. Methods: The authors approached all UK Ambulance trusts (n=13) by email, asking them to provide details of TIA patient referral pathways. Findings: Twelve ambulance services responded to the survey and nine reported that they had no current pathway; one had discontinued a pathway because of service reconfiguration; and three were currently using one. All pathways used the ABCD2 tool to screen patients and classified patients as low-risk if the ABCD2 score was 3 or below. Non-conveyance exclusion criteria varied. Although compliance with referral pathways was audited in an initial pilot in one service, no other evaluations of the effectiveness of pathways were reported. Conclusion: A minority of UK ambulance services report introducing referral pathways for low-risk TIA patients, avoiding initial assessment in the ED. Safety, effectiveness and acceptability of such pathways have not been evaluated to date.
New media, diasporic identity and social exclusion: A study of everyday practices of identity negotiation among second-generation Ghanaian women in Hamburg
Authors: Sanyu Ann Mabel 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article focuses on new media use of second-generation Ghanaian women living in Hamburg to negotiate a diasporic identity, drawing from empirical findings of a larger study on Ghanaian women’s use of new media to negotiate identity and belonging in Hamburg and London. Using the non-media-centred approach to contextualize new media use with other social and cultural processes in everyday life. The article argues that whereas new media open up possibilities of maintaining communication networks in the face of social exclusion there is a need to consider other social and cultural processes. The article addresses the role of new media in negotiating diasporic identity through communication, and alternative representation as a means of exerting agency, and empowering a diasporic identity in the face of social exclusion.
Women’s political activism in Iraq: Caught between NGOization and the struggle for a civil state
Authors: Ali Zahra 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article explores Iraqi women’s political activism since 2003. It focuses on an in-depth ethnography of women’s political organizations conducted mainly in Baghdad, and in Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Najaf-Kufa, Karbala and Nasriya. I will start by considering the relationship between gender and the notion of NGOization in Iraq. Secondly, I explore some of the aspects characterizing the post-2003 context and its concrete impact on women’s lives and activism. I look specifically at the issue of the funding of civil society organizations and the ways in which Iraqi women activists deal with the political situation imposed by the US-led invasion and occupation. Finally, the article presents the different forms taken by women’s political activism from their NGOs to their participation in the recent protest movement launched in the summer 2015 questioning the ethno-sectarian and dysfunctional nature of the post-invasion Iraqi regime.
Population genetic subdivision of seagrasses, Syringodium isoetifolium and Thalassia hemprichii, in the Indonesian Archipelago

Published: June 2018

AbstractThe population genetics of two seagrasses,Syringodium isoetifoliumandThalassia hemprichiiwere assessed throughout the Indonesian Archipelago. We genotyped 257 blades ofS.isoetifoliumat 15 microsatellite loci collected from 14 sampling sites and 406 blades ofT. hemprichiiat 17 microsatellite loci from 16 sampling sites. Once clones were removed, 165 individuals ofS.isoetifoliumand 389 ofT. hemprichiiwere used in downstream analyses. Bayesian clustering methods revealed two genetically distinguishable clusters in each species, although the geographic boundaries of these clusters differed.Syringodium isoetifoliumhas a cluster that is located exclusively on the shallow Sunda Shelf and appears to follow the demarcation defined by Wallace’s line.Thalassia hemprichii, however, has a genetically distinguishable cluster located within the Banda Sea. The Banda Sea has unique physical oceanographic conditions, which may be driving the observed differentiation inT. hemprichii. We speculate that historical sea level changes exposing the Sunda Shelf, and the unique oceanographic conditions of the Banda Sea are contributing to the observed population differentiation. The observed genetic differentiation in both species is a possible starting point for speciation.
Can water temperature impact litter decomposition under pollution of copper and zinc mixture
Authors: Pu Gaozhong , Tian Xingjun 
Published: June 2018

AbstractTo better understand the impact of warming on heavy metals (HM) associated with plant litter decomposition in streams, we investigated the impact of high and low HM (Cu and Zn) levels and different water temperatures (10,15 and 20oC) on microbial decomposition ofTyphaangustifoliaL.litter and the associated extracellular enzyme activities. During a 100-day incubation, changes in litter mass losses, chemical composition (lignin and total carbohydrate), and extracellular enzyme activity were determined. The decomposition rates were accelerated by the low HM levels at 20oC (0.0051 day–1at CKvs0.0061 day–1at low HM levels). The negative effects of Cu and Zn onTyphalitter decomposition were more pronounced at lower temperatures (10 and 15°C). The enhanced enzyme activities of cellulase and β-glucosidase and the higher lignin/litter weight loss and lignin/carbohydrate ratios were found at 20oC and low HM treatment. The enzyme activities of β-glucosidase and cellulase were positively correlated with litter mass losses at 20oC and low HM levels. These results suggest that a 5oC increase in water temperature may attenuate the inhibition of low HM level on litter decomposition.
Analysis of Metabolites in Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz Dry Red Wines from Shanxi by1H NMR Spectroscopy Combined with Pattern Recognition Analysis
Authors: Zhu Jiangyu , Hu Boran , Lu Jie , Xu Shaochen 
Published: June 2018

AbstractMetabolomics technology based on proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy combined with pattern recognition analysis was used to characterize the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz dry red wines vinified in the Linfen of Shanxi Province, China, in 2016. The results showed that there was a very significant difference between the metabolites of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz dry red wines from the area of Linfen. Compared with Shiraz dry red wines, Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wines contained higher levels of proline, valine, tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, gallic acid, β-glucose and ethyl acetate, whereas 2,3-butanediol, lactic acid, choline, glycerol, α-D-glucuronic acid, succinic acid and alanine were present in lower levels. Application of NMR spectroscopy combined with pattern recognition analysis showed the discriminative power between wine varietals from the same production area. The loading plot from partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLs-DA) indicated that the key biomarkers for this differentiation were proline, tartaric acid, glycerol, lactic acid, choline, succinic acid and gallic acid, which was consistent with the result of quantitative analysis.
The risks associated with falling parts of glazed facades in case of fire

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Arguably, one of the most important requirement a building have to meet in case of fire is to ensure the safe evacuation of its users and the work of rescue teams. Consequently, issues related to the risks associated with falling parts of facades are fairly well known around Europe. Even though not equally well defined as other fire safety requirements concerning glazed facades, there is plenty of test methods for assessment of facades regarding falling parts, mostly based on an approach related to fire spread. In this paper selection of test method for assessment of facades regarding falling parts is briefly presented. However, focus of this work is on fire test of typical glazed segment of façade performed in ITB Laboratory. Results of the test positively verifies conjecture that solutions with glass units configured with thin, tempered glass panes on the outer side should pose no threat. However, the question has been raised whether the behaviour of other glass unit solutions (with additional coatings or laminated) would be similar.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
We describe the language LLS-1 for logical specifying ontologies written in “Binary Model of Knowledge” (BMK). BMK is the system intended for specifying heavy-weight ontologies by means of conceptual-type languages. The language LLS-1 has a user-friendly syntax in style of the Manchester syntax for OWL. We also determine a deduction method for LLS-1.
The Usefulness of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Monitoring the Location of Eloquent Area and Function Preservation in Brain Surgery

Published: June 2018

Abstract
The extent of resection has been shown to influence the outcome of brain tumours. The concept of brain plasticity is to prevent damage to the eloquent areas while maximizing the extent of tumor resection. The present case report describes the usefulness of the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in evaluation of the possibility of functional preservation for surgeries in eloquent areas. We present a 46-year-old woman, who had previously undergone four sessions of internal decompression surgery for left frontal anaplastic ependymoma. She later underwent radical tumor resection surgery involving the superior and middle frontal gyri, anterior parietal gyrus, corpus callosum, coronal radiation and basal ganglia. Postoperatively, her right hemiparesis did not deteriorate and she could ambulate without much aid. Multichannel NIRS system revealed that hot spot location was in the right superior frontal gyrus and parietal lobe by the same task of right knee joint movement. We judged that her right brain motor function shifted to the contralateral hemisphere by the long course of her illness. It might be possible that if the NIRS was used earlier around the third or fourth perioperative period, with a reliable confirmation of migration of the right motor function to opposite side, the option of a more aggressive tumor resection may have been attempted. NIRS can be a useful and sensitive tool for predicting the location of eloquent areas and monitoring the extent of brain plasticity between surgeries.
Surgical Clipping vs Endovascular Coiling for Newly Diagnosed and Recurrent Cerebral Aneurysms: an Update on the Current Literature. Single-Center Case Series
Authors: Salle F. , Jaume A. , Castelluccio G. , Spagnuolo E. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The ideal treatment for intracranial aneurysms has been highly controversial in the last few decades. It is particularly difficult to decide between clipping vs. coiling when it comes to an aneurysm that has already been treated. The authors performed a review of the literature published in the last ten years amongst the main neurosurgical publications and make recommendations based on this evidence and the surgical experience of the eldest author of this paper (ES). A series of cases of recurrent, incompletely coiled aneurysms treated with surgery is presented. Conclusions: aneurysms with a convenient configuration and location for either clipping or coiling might be better managed by surgical clipping in young patients considering that this treatment achieves higher rates of occlusion with a lower incidence of rebleeding. In elderly patients, each case must be discussed.

Authors: Ajler Pablo , Campero Alvaro , Landriel Federico , Goldschmidt Ezequiel , Hem Santiago , Carrizo Antonio 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

Purpose
Acromegaly is an unusual disorder caused by abnormal oversecretion of growth hormone by pituitary adenomas. Transsphenoidal surgery is frequently the first management option. The objective of this article is to establish the effectiveness of a transnasal transsphenoidal approach in the treatment of GH-producing adenomas, and to identify risk factors for disease persistence.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective review of 81 patients treated for acromegaly with transsphenoidal microsurgery between 2006 and 2010.

Results
Macroadenomas accounted for 66.7% of the cases, contrast-enhanced MRI revealing cavernous sinus invasion in 28.4% of the patients (23 subjects). Cure was achieved in 72.8% (59 of 82). All microadenomas (27 cases) were managed effectively with surgery whereas cure rates stood at 66.7% for macroadenomas. Monovariate analysis showed that disease persistence was statistically associated with three variables. Odds ratio for remission stood at 1.68 for microadenomas and 0.033 for cavernous sinus invasion (p<0.001). Preoperative GH values were statistically associated with cure during follow up (p<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only cavernous sinus invasion continued to be significantly associated with disease persistence (OR 3.52, p<0.05).

Conclusion
The transnasal approach proves effective in the treatment and cure of acromegaly. Cavernous sinus invasion is a major predictor of disease persistence.
Declension of the Latin present participle in connection with its syntactico-semantic use
Authors: Walvoort Hendrik Christiaan 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThis paper deals with the declension of the Latin present active participle (ppa), which shows several inconsistencies: the ablative singular for instance may end in -eor in -i(sapiente, sapienti) and the genitive plural may end in -umor -ium(sapientum, sapientium). Some grammarians, notably modern ones, assume that there are syntactico-semantic considerations or circumstances, leading to ablative -eending when verbal force is intended (such as in the ablative absolute) or substantival force, and to -iending when there is nominal, notably adjectival force. I have investigated whether ancient, medieval and modern grammarians treat such a phenomenon. In addition, I looked for inconsistencies in the grammarian’s own ppa declension from this syntactico-semantic point of view. It turns out that ancient and medieval grammarians do not formulate declension of the ppa according to its syntactico-semantic function, with the exception of the anonymous author of theArs Ambrosiana, nor do they decline their own ppa’s according to a conventional rule of this kind. This calls for other explanations regarding the declensional inconsistencies observed. Some of the ppa forms may reflect a temporary phenomenon which would have disappeared in due course through diachronic evolution and paradigm leveling. Some forms may have persisted because of their frequency and idiomatic force or because of the compelling analogy with other words and phrases. But these ppa declensional variations do not appear to conform to a syntactico-semantic rule.
Genetic analysis of three families with X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets

Published: June 2018

Abstract

Background
Hypophosphatemic rickets, including familial hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets, which commonly manifests in childhood, is generally hereditary. X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH, MIM307800), caused by inactivating mutations in the PHEX gene, is the most common form. This study aimed to identify the gene mutations responsible for three cases of XLH and its clinical phenotype.

Methods
We conducted a genetic diagnosis and clinical phenotypic linkage analysis of three pedigrees with XLH. Three probands finally diagnosed as XLH were analyzed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Sanger sequencing was used for mutation scanning in other family members.

Results
For the three patients with XLH, the age of onset ranged from 1.5 to 2 years and their heights were less than three standard deviations (SDs) below the median. The patients exhibited curved deformities in both lower limbs, hypophosphatemia, elevated serum FGF23 levels and elevated levels of blood alkaline phosphatase, with normal levels of blood parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium. X-ray analysis of the limbs and chest revealed characteristic rickets signs. Three candidate pathogenic mutations were identified in PHEX (NM_000444.5): c.433G>T (p.Glu145*, p.E145*) in exon 4, c.1735G>A (p.Gly579Arg, p.G579R) (rs875989883) in exon 17 and c.2245T>C (p.Trp749Arg, p.W749R) in exon 22. The nonsense mutation (p.E145*) in PHEX is novel and is predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein, resulting in loss of function.

Conclusions
The novel nonsense mutation (p.E145*) in PHEX is possibly involved in inherited XLH.

Abstract

Background
Dysregulation of adipocytokines, inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress are associated with the pathogenesis of obesity-related complications. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a group-based lifestyle modification program on adipocytokines, inflammatory cytokines, oxidative status and arterial stiffness in obese youth.

Methods
A 1-year weight-reduction program was conducted. The program consisted of initial hospitalization and five outpatient group-based sessions held at 1, 2, 3, 6 and 9 months. Pre- and post-intervention measurements included anthropometric data, blood tests, body composition and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV).

Results
A total of 126 obese youths were recruited, and 115 of those completed the study. Twenty-four participants had increased percentage weight for height at the end of the study (group A), 30 had minimal reduction (group B) and 61 had substantial reduction (group C). Lean mass significantly increased in all three groups (all p<0.001). A significant decrease in leptin (group A, p=0.021; group B, p=0.005; group C, p<0.001), interleukin-6 (IL-6) (group A, p=0.019; group B, p=0.004; group C, p<0.001) and ba-PWV (group A, p=0.031; group B, p=0.015; group C, p<0.001) was also observed. No significant change in the oxidative status was found among the groups. Reduction in ba-PWV was correlated with decreases in plasma malondialdehyde (pMDA) (r=0.233, p=0.036) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (r=0.253, p=0.025).

Conclusions
A group-based healthy lifestyle program for obese youths had beneficial effects on adipocytokines, inflammatory cytokines and arterial stiffness. Participants without change in weight status also benefited. These improvements may reduce the risk of obese youths developing atherosclerosis.
Philosophical dialogue – towards the cultural history of the genre
Authors: Rakoczy Marta 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThis text analyzes philosophical dialogue (from Plato to Augustine of Hippo, Berkeley, Hume and Leibniz) as a linguistic genre embedded in the cultural, historical and media context, which was decisive for the role and functions accorded to philosophy as such. I argue that one way to describe transformations of Western thought, which has not been consistently implemented, is a description of its history through the category of progressive textualization and through anthropological-historical category of a genre. Two models of communication analyzed by Ives Winkin – orchestral and telegraphic – first associated with the perception of communication as an act of interpersonal, linguistic and non-linguisticcommunio, and second, the perception of communication as a linear transfer of information from one mind to another, have their historical, especially the media roots. The first is associated with the word alive and spoken communication. The second is conditioned by the primacy of the printed word and the quiet, solitary reading, which cuts off existential contexts, and decontextualizes an utterance and tranforms it into a strictly graphic message far from direct, interpersonal understanding. Both models can be seen well in philosophical texts. And the dominance of the latter, related to the development of print culture, allows us to understand why the philosophical dialogue as a trace of the conversation – a trace of the existential practice as well as philosophical – is experiencing a crisis in modern times.
