AOTA’s Top 5 Choosing Wisely® Recommendations
Authors: Gillen Glen , Hunter Elizabeth G. , Lieberman Deborah , Stutzbach Melissa 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Health care spending in the United States continues to grow at an unsustainable rate. In 2015, spending increased 5.8%, to reach $3.2 trillion, or $9,990 per person. As a share of the nation’s gross domestic product, health spending accounted for 17.8% (Morgan et al., 2016). A critical component of addressing this issue is eliminating wasteful spending without reducing quality and appropriate care. In 2012, Choosing Wisely®, an initiative of the ABIM Foundation (American Board of Internal Medicine), started with the aim to encourage meaningful conversations between health care practitioners and clients to ensure that appropriate and quality care is being provided. The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) made a commitment to join Choosing Wisely in 2016. With support and input from AOTA members, the Board of Directors, and staff, AOTA implemented a three-phase process to develop and publish the list, “Five Things Patients and Providers Should Question.” The goal of AOTA’s participation in this initiative is to start dialogue within the occupational therapy profession about providing quality services that are supported by evidence, not duplicative, free from harm, and truly necessary.

ABSTRACT
Two cats were presented with multifocal neurological signs. One cat’s signs progressed over 2 wk; the other cat progressed over 5 days. Examinations were consistent with a process involving the prosencephalon, vestibular system, and general proprioceptive/upper motor neuron systems. MRI of the brain and cervical spinal cord reveal widespread T2 hyperintensity of the white matter. Affected areas included the cerebrum, cerebral peduncles, corticospinal tracts of the pons and medulla, and the cerebellum. T2 hyperintensity was present in all funiculi of the spinal cord. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps were consistent with cytotoxic or intramyelinic edema. Differential diagnosis included toxic or metabolic/degenerative leukoencephalopathies. Necropsies revealed widespread spongy degeneration of the central nervous system white matter. Toxicologic assays of liver specimens revealed desmethylbromethalin, a metabolite of bromethalin. Bromethalin is a rodenticide that causes uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. Antemortem diagnosis is challenging. DWI and ADC maps were instrumental in narrowing the differential diagnosis and raised the index of suspicion for bromethalin. Bromethalin intoxication should be considered in all animals with a progressive course of multifocal neurologic deficits. MRI, specifically, DWI and ADC maps, may serve as a biomarker of cytotoxic or intramyelinic edema associated with spongiform leukoencephalomyelopathy.

ABSTRACT
The objective of this population-based retrospective cohort study was to identify factors associated with lifespan in pet dogs evaluated at primary care veterinary hospitals. Dogs ≥3 mo of age that visited any of 787 US hospitals at least twice from January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2012, were included. Survival curves were constructed for dogs by reproductive status, breed, body size, and purebreed (versus mixed-breed) status. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression was performed to identify factors associated with lifespan. There were 2,370,078 dogs included in the study, of whom 179,466 (7.6%) died during the study period. Mixed-breed dogs lived significantly longer than purebred dogs, and this difference was more pronounced as body size increased. Controlling for other factors, dogs of either sex had a greater hazard of death over the study follow-up period if sexually intact rather than gonadectomized. For dogs who lived to 2 yr of age, the hazard of death decreased with increasing frequency of dental scaling. Our findings support previous reports of the impact of body size and gonadectomy on lifespan and provide new evidence in support of ultrasonic dental scaling and mixed breeding.
Universal Design for Learning in the University Classroom
Authors: Kohler-Evans Patricia , Rutledge Chayla D. , Barnes Candice Dowd 
Published: March 2019

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is based on the architecture and industrial design paradigm, universal design. The UDL framework provides guidelines for teachers when they create, instruct, and assess the delivery of content. Based on three underlying principles: multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement, UDL targets the needs of every learner in the classroom. Although much has been written about UDL in the K-12 classroom, the principles apply equally to higher education. Most faculty are well versed in the delivery of content through a traditional lecture format, yet few consider applying UDL principles. It is not enough that an instructor provide knowledge. He or she must also ensure that critical content is accessible to all students entering the university classroom. Faculty members recognized for their excellence in teaching include teaching strategies that are aligned to UDL principles. These strategies include creation of positive learning environments, use of humor, active engagement vs passive engagement, and explicit structure. The primary purpose of the article is threefold: to discuss the importance of using a UDL approach in higher education, to help faculty begin using a UDL approach through professional development, and sharing strategies for students in the higher education classroom. Recommendations are made for providing professional development to faculty to increase their use of universal design for learning principles with questions for consideration. Additional recommendations are made for teaching students through the UDL lens. By using a UDL framework, all students have access to curriculum in ways meaningful to each individual.

Amaç: Helikobakter pilori pozitifliği, ülkemizde ve dünyada
yüksek prevalansa sahip olup kronik gastrit, peptik ülser, mukoza ile ilişkili
lenfoid doku lenfoması ve gastrik adenokarsinomla ilişkili bulunmuştur.
Helikobakter pilori pozitifliği, yaygın olarak görülmesi ve geniş bir patolojik
spektrumu olması nedeniyle halk sağlığı açısından önemlidir. Çalışmamızda
nötrofil lenfosit oranı ve ortalama trombosit hacmi ile helikobakter pilori
pozitifliği arasındaki ilişkiyi göstermeyi amaçladık.

Yöntemler: Çalışmaya dispeptik şikâyetleri olan hastalardan
dışkıda HP direkt antijen testi sonucuna göre HP pozitifliği saptanan 73 olgu
ve helikobakter pilori negatif olan 77 olgu çalışmaya alındı. Olgular
helikobakter pilori pozitif ve negatif olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Gruplar
arasında laboratuvar parametreleri karşılaştırıldı.

Bulgular: Helikobakter pilori pozitif ve helikobakter pilori
negatif hasta grupları arasında yaş ortalaması ve cinsiyet arasında anlamlı
farklılık yoktu (sırasıyla p=0,26, p=0.621). Helikobakter pilori enfeksiyonu
tespit edilen hastalarda kandaki nötrofil sayısında artma (p=0,001) ve lenfosit
sayısında azalma (p=0,006) ile birlikte nötrofil lenfosit oranındaki belirgin
artış istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p=0,001). Helikobakter pilori negatif
hasta grubuna göre helikobakter pilori pozitif hastalarda C-reaktif protein
düzeyleri anlamlı olarak yüksek (p=0,011) ve negatif akut faz reaktanı olarak
bilinen albümin anlamlı derecede düşüktü (p=0,014). Eritrosit sedimantasyon
hızı ve ferritin düzeyleri helikobakter pilori pozitif hasta grubunda daha
yüksekti ancak iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu. Her
iki grup arasında ortalama trombosit hacmi düzeyleri yönünden anlamlı fark
bulunamadı (p=0,477).

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda helikobakter pilori pozitif hastalarda
ortalama trombosit hacimlerinde anlamlı bir farklılık görülmezken bu hastalarda
artmış nötrofil lenfosit oranı tespit ettik. Dispeptik yakınmalarla gelen
hastalarda yüksek nötrofil lenfosit oranı helikobakter pilori pozitifliği için
bir belirteç olabilir.

The presence of color in textile effluents has been studied because of the need for more effective treatments. Therefore, advanced oxidative processes (AOP) have been used in the degradation of dyes, as well as in the conversion of organic matter. This study evaluated the degradation of the direct orange 26 textile dye by Fenton and photo-Fenton processes (with natural solar radiation). A statistical analysis, based on factorial 23 indicated the best working conditions, being: [H2O2] = 100 mg·L-1 and pH 3-4, for both AOP in that the [Fe] = 1 e 5 mg·L-1, for photo-Fenton and Fenton, respectively. The results of the kinetic studies demonstrated a good fit to the nonlinear kinetic model proposed by Chan and Chu, with values of R2 > 0,996 (photo-fenton) and R2 > 0,939 (Fenton). The tests performed to evaluate the chemical oxygen demand indicated conversions of 62.05% (Fenton) and 66.41% (photo-Fenton). Finally, the ecotoxicity study indicated that the post-treatment samples were non-toxic to the bacteria Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis but showed growth inhibition for Lactuca sativa (Fenton and photo-Fenton) seeds and for Brassica juncea and Portulaca grandiflora (Fenton).
L’inscription tardive du nom du père présumé à l’acte de naissance : quelques hésitations quant à la voie procédurale à suivre
Authors: Pratte Marie 
Published: March 2019

La mère d’un enfant enregistre parfois seule la naissance de ce dernier. Si le père tente d’échapper à ses obligations, une action en réclamation de paternité sera nécessaire à l’établissement de la filiation et à l’inscription de son nom à l’acte de naissance. Mais il arrive que le père veuille assumer sa paternité; marié à la mère, il peut même en dépit d’une séparation de fait, être considéré par le Code civil comme le père présumé de l’enfant. Le fait que la naissance ait été enregistrée à son insu l’oblige-t-il alors à intenter une action en réclamation d’état ? Ne pourrait-on admettre qu’il puisse procéder par simple requête en rectification ? Ce court article examine cette question à partir d’une décision de 1990 de la Cour d’appel du Québec, Droit de la famille 766. Le principe établi dans cette affaire, suivi par la jurisprudence, repose malheureusement sur un raisonnement critiquable.
La pollution du partage des compétences par le droit de l’environnement
Authors: Brun Pierre 
Published: March 2019

Traditionnellement, l’environnement n’est pas un domaine du droit spécifiquement défini. Il s’agit d’un agrégat de sujets de droit qui, une fois rassemblés, forment ce que nous appelons aujourd’hui le droit de l’environnement. Sous l’angle du partage des compétences entre le fédéral et les provinces, chaque palier de gouvernement peut user de ses compétences afin de résoudre différents aspects du problème environnemental. Cette division sectorielle s’explique historiquement par l’absence de toute considération environnementale dans la Constitution. Cependant, cet état de droit pose aujourd’hui plusieurs problèmes.
En effet, d’une part, l’État tente d’abandonner progressivement cette approche sectorielle au profit d’une vision plus unifiée du droit de l’environnement. L’adoption de lois sur la protection de l’environnement et la création de ministères de l’environnement en témoignent. L’effet de cette uniformisation est de donner corps à un domaine autonome et relativement distinct d’exercice du pouvoir législatif, au sujet duquel la Constitution est muette. Comment qualifier ces interventions législatives au regard du partage des compétences ? Le premier chapitre de cet article fait ainsi le point sur la question de la territorialité des compétences et sur l’incidence des compétences provinciales sur la propriété, le droit civil et les affaires locales, ainsi que sur la compétence fédérale découlant de la clause « paix, ordre et bon gouvernement ».
D’autre part, l’approche sectorielle, qui fait appel aux compétences spécifiques tel le droit criminel ou les affaires municipales, demeure encore largement utilisée. Il en résulte un chevauchement important entre les différentes interventions législatives. Les questions constitutionnelles soulevées par ces interventions font l’objet de la seconde partie de cet article et seront analysées en fonction des compétences pertinentes énumérées dans la Constitution. Cette analyse met en évidence une tendance centralisatrice et unificatrice du traitement du problème environnemental sur le plan constitutionnel. Outre les difficultés que pose la mise en application des critères développés par la Cour suprême à ce chapitre, nous nous interrogeons sur l’opportunité d’une telle tendance.
Transferring Electronic Devices with Hydrogenated Graphene

Published: March 2019

AbstractFrom healthcare to environmental sensors, small operational devices are being developed to monitor and report in a host of new environments. These varied environments require widely varying material properties to meet operational challenges. Unfortunately, the tools used for device fabrication are not fully compatible with the breadth of substrates being utilized. The ability to transfer operational devices from a fabrication‐friendly substrate to any arbitrary substrate is essential to meet needs. Single layer hydrogenated graphene (HG) is an excellent candidate to support the transfer of operational devices. Hydrogenation of graphene weakens the film's van der Waals interaction with its substrate, allowing it to delaminate in water. The free‐floating HG layer can then be placed onto a new substrate. In this work, this property is exploited to transfer working field‐effect transistors (FETs) and gas‐sensing polymer films onto representative hard and flexible substrates. The transferred devices are operational in place and are spaced only one atomic layer away from their final substrate surface. The versatility of HG‐assisted device transfer is also demonstrated by transferring devices onto curved, irregular, and fragile surfaces that are otherwise not fabrication‐friendly, including an nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy tube, plastic water bottle, waxy plant leaf, and a culture of live neurons.

AbstractAll‐solid‐state batteries attract significant attention owing to their potential to realize an energy storage system with high safety and energy density. In this paper, a mechanochemical synthesis of novel amorphous positive electrode materials of the Ni‐rich LiNi1−x−yMnxCoyO2 (NMC)–Li2SO4 system suitable for oxide‐type all‐solid‐state batteries is reported. Through the mechanochemical treatment with Li2SO4, excellent formabilities of the electrode materials as those of ductile solid electrolytes are obtained. Owing to the deformability of the active material, a good electrode/electrolyte interface is provided simply by pressing at room temperature. In all‐oxide solid‐state cells using 80NMCs·20Li2SO4 (mol%) positive electrode materials, the cell capacity increases with the Ni content in the NMC. The all‐solid‐state cell using the 80NMC811·20Li2SO4 positive electrode active material exhibits a high capacity larger than 250 mAh g−1 in a voltage range of 1.6–4.8 V versus Li at 100 °C. Furthermore, bulk‐type all‐oxide solid‐state batteries (Li4Ti5O12/80NMC532·20Li2SO4 (mol%)) successfully function as secondary batteries with excellent cycle performances.
Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new tri‐nuclear iron (II, III) complex, a precursor for the preparation of superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles applicable in the removal of Cd2+

Published: March 2019

This study reports the structural and spectroscopic characterization of a novel metal organic compound formulated as [Fe (bpy)3] [Fe (dipic)2]2.7H2O (1) (dipic = pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylate and bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine). 1 was investigated by elemental analysis, FT‐IR spectroscopy, powder X‐ray diffraction and single crystal X‐ray diffraction (SC‐XRD), which revealed a triclinic structure of expected composition. Thermal degradation of 1 was also investigated. Complex 1 was used as a precursor to prepare superparamagnetic nanoparticles of Fe3O4 by thermal analysis. The obtained Fe3O4 was characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fe3O4 nanoparticles were used as a nano‐adsorbent to remove Cd2+ from water at room temperature. The results showed that this nano‐adsorbent is effective in removing Cd2+ from contaminated water sources, and that the maximal effectivity of adsorption occurs at pH = 6. Magnetic measurements of complex 1 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles at room temperature revealed paramagnetic and superparamagnetic behavior, respectively.

Published: March 2019

AbstractThis work focused on physicochemical property assaying, fatty acid composition, triacylglycerol (TAG) profiles, and unsaponifiable matter composition of the Chinese Moringa oleifera seed oil. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in approximate nutritional components between M. oleifera seeds from China and India, while variations in the mineral element contents are significant. Both the Soxhlet extraction method and the aqueous enzymatic extraction method were adopted to extract oil from Chinese M. oleifera seeds. Oil yield obtained using the Soxhlet extraction method was higher than that obtained using the aqueous enzymatic extraction method. While both the iodine value and unsaponifiable matter content of the aqueous enzymatic extracted oil were a little higher than that of the Soxhlet extracted oil. Both oils possess a very low acid value and peroxide value, suggesting their good quality as edible oil. Fatty acid composition results indicated that this oil was especially high in oleic acid. Characterization of the TAG composition was achieved by a two‐dimensional high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupling of nonaqueous reverse‐phase and silver ion HPLC with the atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry method. A total of 22 TAG including 16 regioisomers were determined. Composition results of unsaponifiable matters revealed that this oil possesses a number of phytosterols, in which β‐sitosterol and stigmasterol are most predominant.
Age, dimensions and classification – a multi‐causal absence of three‐aisled longhouses from aerial photographs of western Jutland, Denmark
Authors: Christiansen Broch Mathias 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis article focuses on a significant parameter associated with the interpretation of cropmarks of three‐aisled longhouses on aerial photographs of western Jutland, Denmark. Between 2008 and 2013, during the first part of the project ‘An aerial view of the past – aerial archaeology in Denmark’, 672 three‐aisled longhouses were discovered. These longhouses have been dated typologically, identifying only four houses from the Early Bronze Age (ca 1700–1100 bc) and showing no recorded examples from the Late Bronze Age (1100–500 bc). The remaining longhouses fall primarily within the period from the Early Iron Age to the Viking Age (ca 500 bc–ad 1050). The absence of longhouses from the Bronze Age is presently explained as a consequence of age and dimensions. Two factors that revolve around the possibilities of cropmark occurrence. In this article, it is suggested that the method of classification used to interpret longhouses on aerial photographs is of crucial significance with respect to the virtual absence of Bronze Age examples. The typological problems associated with visual classification are outlined, after which the possible latent presence of Bronze Age longhouses in the aerial photograph database is investigated. The problems are addressed via a series of principal component analyses (PCAs), employed as a classification tool. The PCA classification of the longhouses is based exclusively on the arrangement of the internal roof‐bearing posts. The analysis uses data from 203 excavated longhouses, which are compared with 120 longhouses recorded on aerial photographs. The analysis identified 14 longhouses that could potentially be from the Late Bronze Age, both with respect to internal roof‐bearing construction and visual appearance on aerial photographs. This leads on to a discussion of the typological problems associated with identifying longhouses from the Late Bronze Age and Early Pre‐Roman Iron Age, together with a weighting of the factors: age, dimensions and classification.

Published: March 2019

AbstractThe Staphylococcus aureus protein A (SpA) can be obtained through the culture of wild‐type S. aureus and also as a recombinant protein in safe bacterial hosts. Several methods have been used to purify SpA among which ion‐exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, gel filtration, and per aqueous liquid chromatography (PALC) are common. SpA has a wide range of biochemical, biotechnological, and medical applications and is most commonly used in test methods such as immunoprecipitation, enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blotting. SpA has also been widely utilized in pharmaceutical applications to bind to immune complexes and serum immunoglobulins. SpA also directly binds to the B‐cells preventing initiation of infectious diseases as well as having a role in the development of various autoimmune diseases. This review considers different applications of SpA in biotechnology and its novel clinical application for effective treatment of autoimmune diseases. It also discusses various strategies for expression and purification of the SpA including types of column chromatography that are commonly used in protein purification and developing SpA surface display technologies. Finally, this review highlights the potential and novel applications of SpA immobilization, SpA typing, protein engineering for further development of immunological and biochemical research, and also application of SpA as a diagnostic biosensor.
