Authors: Beer André , Kleinschmidt Jürgen , Jagenburg Leonie 
Published: December 2018

Zusammenfassung
Fragestellung Obwohl Heiltorf bereits seit Jahrzehnten mit Erfolg in verschiedenen Therapieformen für verschiedenste Indikationen in deutschen Heilbädern angewandt wird, ist die klinische Evidenz bisher noch unübersichtlich. Daher wurde ein Review zur Studienlage von Wirksamkeitsnachweisen für das Peloid „Torf“ erstellt.
Methode Für den Publikationszeitraum 1990–2017 erfolgte eine systematische Literaturrecherche in Online-Datenbanken bezüglich klinischer Studien, in denen die Wirksamkeit von Torf bei verschiedenen Indikationen untersucht worden war. Die Ergebnisse wurden nach Evidenzkategorien und Indikationen geordnet. Dazu wurde der Evidenzlevel nach Oxford (LOE) und Empfehlungsgrade (GR) bestimmt.
Ergebnisse Die höchste Evidenz wurde bei den Indikationen Arthrose und Fibromyalgie festgestellt. Es zeigte sich eine konsistent konfirmatorische Evidenz gemäß LOE 1b resultierend in einem GR 3. Weitere Studien wiesen eine explorative Evidenz mit LOE 2b auf, resultierend in einem GR 2.
Diskussion Erfolge der Therapie mit dem natürlichen Heilmittel Torf stützen sich nicht nur auf Erfahrungen, sondern lassen sich auch mit klinischen Studien belegen, die hohen Evidenzlevels zugeordnet werden können. Hierbei erleichtert eine Zuordnung nach Indikation und Evidenzlevel die Übersicht.
Schlussfolgerung Die Datenlage lässt evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen für die Torftherapie zu.

AbstractWe examined the accuracy of Smart Socks – a device that measures foot pressure during gait for detecting step-count across various walking speeds. Thirty-six participants (17 men; 19 women) wore Smart Socks (Sock), a pedometer (Pedometer), and a smartphone with a commercially available Phone Application (Phone) pedometer to measure step-count during 3-min of treadmill or over-ground walking at 1.3, 2.2, 3.0, 3.8, and 4.7 km/h. Steps were compared to a gold-standard tally-counter (Count), collected by independent assessors. All devices (Sock, Pedometer, and Phone) underestimated step-count when compared to Count at 1.3 km/h (p<0.05); however, Sock (27±18%) demonstrated a lower percent error compared to Phone (40±28%) and Pedometer (98±5%) (both p<0.01). At 2.2 km/h, Sock was not different compared to Count (Sock: 213±39; Count: 229±24 steps, p=0.25); however, both Phone (271±55 steps) and Pedometer (169±166 steps) were different compared to Count (p<0.05). At 3.0 km/h, both Sock (258±30 steps) and Pedometer (254±45 steps) were similar to Count (267±22 steps) (p>0.05); however, Phone (291±28 steps) overestimated step-count (p<0.01). All devices (Sock, Pedometer, and Phone) were similar to Count at 3.8, and 4.7 km/h (p>0.05). These findings demonstrate that Smart Socks are more accurate than pedometers used in the present study for detecting step-count during treadmill or over-ground ambulation at slower walking speeds.

Abstract
Background and study aims We developed a laparoscopy endoscopy cooperative surgery (LECS) to overcome the limitations of endoscopic resection for colorectal tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of LECS, which combines endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and laparoscopic partial colectomy.
Patients and methods We performed LECS for 17 colorectal tumors in 17 patients (male:female 10:7; mean age, 66.5 years). The clinicopathological outcomes of these 17 cases and the feasibility of LECS were evaluated retrospectively. Indications for LECS were as follows: 1) intramucosal cancer and adenoma accompanied by wide and severe fibrosis; 2) intramucosal cancer and adenoma involving the diverticulum or appendix; and 3) submucosal tumors.
Results We successfully performed LECS procedures in 17 cases (intramucosal cancer [n = 6], adenoma [n = 9], schwannoma [n = 1], and gastro-intestinal stromal tumour [GIST] [n = 1]. Mean tumor diameter was 22.4 mm (range, 8 – 41 mm). LECS was successfully performed in all 17 cases without conversion to open surgery; the R0 rate was 100 %. LECS was applied to the following situations: involving the appendix (n = 6), tumor accompanied by severe fibrosis (n = 5), involving the diverticulum (n = 3), submucosal tumor (n = 2), and poor endoscopic operability (n = 1). We experienced no adverse events (e. g., leakage or anastomotic stricture) and the median hospital stay was 6.4 dayus (range, 4 to 12). All 17 patients who were followed for ≥ 3 months (median, 30.8 months; range, 3 – 72 months) showed no residual/local recurrence.
Conclusion LECS was a safe, feasible, minimally invasive procedure that achieved full-thickness resection of colorectal tumors and showed excellent clinical outcomes.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of the heart rate variability threshold (HRVT) by different HRV indexes and determination criteria. 68 untrained participants, 17 women (24.09±4.91 years old; 21.54±1.97 kg∙m−2) and 51 men (24.52±3.52 years old; 26.51±6.31 kg∙m−2), were evaluated on 2 different days (test and retest). The HRVT was determined during an incremental exercise test using 2 indexes (SD1 and RMSSD) and criteria (HRTV1, first intensity of physical effort with index<3 ms, and HRVT2, first intensity of physical effort, in which the index presents a difference<1 ms between 2 consecutive intensities). There was no significant difference (p<0.05) between the test and retest for any of the variables evaluated. All variables, except for the rate of perceived exertion at HRVT2, presented moderate to high intraclass correlation coefficient (HRVT1: 0.55–0.85 and HRVT2:0.58–0.69). All variables at HRVT1 and the heart rate at HRVT2 showed coefficient of variation ~ 10%. The HRVT, regardless of criteria and HRV index used, showed satisfactory reproducibility. Thus, these criteria can be used to assess clinically autonomic cardiac modulation and aerobic capacity, and to analyze the effect of different interventions.
Solvent Control in Electro-Organic Synthesis

Published: December 2018

Exploiting the solvent control within electro-organic conversions is a far underestimated parameter in prep-scale electrolysis. The beneficial application in several transformations is outlined and in particular discussed for the dehydrogenative coupling of arenes and heteroarenes. This simple electrolytic strategy in fluorinated solvents allows the modulation of the substrate’s nucleophilicity and the stabilization of the intermediates as well as of the final product from over-oxidation.1	Introduction2	Solvent Effects in Kolbe Electrolysis and Anodic Fluorination3	Unique Solvent Effects of 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropan-2-ol (HFIP)4	Anodic Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions with Use of HFIP as the Solvent5	Conclusion
Incidence and Risk Factors for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion during Cruciate Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty

Published: December 2018

AbstractDuring cruciate retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) may avulse at its insertion. The incidence of PCL avulsion fracture has not been previously studied. The aim of this study is to report on the incidence and clinical significance of intraoperative PCL avulsion during primary CR TKA and to identify potential risk factors. Our institutional joint registry was retrospectively reviewed for PCL avulsion occurring during CR TKA implanted between April 2008 and April 2016. Patient demographics, preoperative range of motion (ROM), complications, and revision rate were examined. A control group of 132 patients was used for comparison to identify potential risk factors. Forty-four of 2,457 patients (1.7%) suffered a PCL avulsion fracture during primary CR TKA. No intraoperative repair was performed and no postoperative weight bearing or ROM restrictions were implemented. There was no significant difference in BMI (p = 0.258), mean preoperative ROM (p = 0.763), or femoral and tibial component sizes (p = 0.3069, p = 0.1306) between groups. Logistic regression found female gender (p = 0.0254) to be the only statistically significant risk factor for PCL avulsion. The incidence of intraoperative PCL avulsion fracture during CR TKA is low (1.7%) and does not appear to affect postoperative ROM, subjective stability, or incidence of revision. Female gender was identified as the only patient factor that increased the risk of PCL avulsion fracture.
“He killed a chicken, but it didn’t die”
Authors: Chen Jidong 
Published: December 2018

AbstractMandarin contrasts typologically with English in its lexicalization of state change (Talmy 2000). The majority of Mandarin monomorphemic verbs is moot about or implies a state change, whereas English has many monomorphemic verbs (e.g.kill) that entail a state change. This study investigates empirically the nuanced lexicalization of state-change implicature in Mandarin monomorphemic verbs and its implications for the linguistic typology of encoding state change. Two experiments were conducted with adult native Mandarin speakers: a rating task about the acceptability of sentences that expressed a failure of fulfilment of a state-change (e.g.Zhangsan sha le ji, ke shi ji mei si‘Zhangsan killed a chicken, but it didn’t die’) and a multiple-choice task that probed the preferred interpretation of monomorphemic state-change verbs. The results of both studies reveal a significant effect of verb types and post hoc comparisons show a cline of state-change implicature in the target verbs.
Differentiating a construction into a structure
Authors: Hsieh Hsin-I 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This paper proposes a reconciliation of two opposite perspectives on a syntactic configuration and its associated semantic
interpretation. Of these two, one is the view that a syntactic structure maps onto its semantic structure on a
strict compositionality condition, and one is the view that a syntactic construction is not strictly
compositional but has an inherent, endowed meaning, not compositionally derived. The proposed resolution attempts to settle the
disagreement by differentiating an endowed-meaning construction into a compatible compositional-meaning structure, which in
reverse is integrated into the original construction. As a result, structure and construction emerge as two sides of the same
coin, and the disagreement is resolved.

Abstract

Background
Since their emergence in the Americas, chikungunya (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses co-circulate with dengue virus (DENV), hampering clinical diagnosis. We investigated clinical and epidemiological characteristics of arboviral infections during the introduction and spread of CHIKV and ZIKV through northeastern Brazil.

Methods
Surveillance for arboviral diseases among febrile patients was performed at an emergency health unit of Salvador, Brazil, between September 2014 and July 2016. We interviewed patients to collect data on symptoms, reviewed medical records to obtain the presumptive diagnoses, and performed molecular and serological testing to confirm DENV, CHIKV, ZIKV, or nonspecific flavivirus (FLAV) diagnosis.

Results
Of 948 participants, 247 (26.1%) had an acute infection, of which 224 (23.6%) were single infections (DENV, 32 [3.4%]; CHIKV, 159 [16.7%]; ZIKV, 13 [1.4%]; and FLAV, 20 [2.1%]) and 23 (2.4%) coinfections (DENV/CHIKV, 13 [1.4%]; CHIKV/FLAV, 9 [0.9%]; and DENV/ZIKV, 1 [0.1%]). An additional 133 (14.0%) patients had serological evidence for a recent arboviral infection. Patients with ZIKV presented with rash and pruritus (69.2% each) more frequently than those with DENV (37.5% and 31.2%, respectively) and CHIKV (22.9% and 14.7%, respectively) (P &lt; .001 for both comparisons). Conversely, arthralgia was more common in CHIKV (94.9%) and FLAV/CHIKV (100.0%) than in DENV (59.4%) and ZIKV (53.8%) (P &lt; .001). A correct presumptive clinical diagnosis was made for 9%–23% of the confirmed patients.

Conclusions
Arboviral infections are frequent causes of febrile illness. Coinfections are not rare events during periods of intense, concomitant arboviral transmission. Given the challenge to clinically distinguish these infections, there is an urgent need for rapid, point-of-care, multiplex diagnostics.
It’s the End of the Competition: When Social Comparison Is Not Always Motivating for Goal Achievement
Authors: Chan Elaine , Briers Barbara 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Nowadays consumers can easily connect with others who are pursuing similar goals via smart devices and mobile apps. This technology also enables them to compare how well they are doing relative to others in a variety of contexts, ranging from online gaming to losing weight to loyalty programs. This research investigates consumers’ motivation to achieve a goal when they compare themselves with a superior other who has already attained the goal. Building on the literature on social comparison, and on competition in particular, we find that consumers are less motivated when the superior other has attained the goal compared to when the superior other is just ahead, keeping the relative distance equal. This negative effect on motivation is evident even in situations in which consumers can still attain the same goal as the superior other. We argue and demonstrate that this effect occurs because the other’s goal attainment limits consumers’ prospect to compete and overtake the superior other. Six experimental studies show evidence for this effect in hypothetical loyalty programs and behavioral task completion. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the motivational effect of social comparison, which have implications for marketing managers and public policy makers.
Oncogenes, tumor suppressor and differentiation genes represent the oldest human gene classes and evolve concurrently
Authors: Makashov A. , Malov S.V. , Kozlov A.P. 
Published: December 2018

AbstractEarlier we showed that human genome contains many evolutionarily young or novel genes with tumor-specific or tumor-predominant expression. We suggested to call them TSEEN genes, i.e. Tumor Specifically Expressed, Evolutionarily New genes. In this paper we performed a study of the evolutionary ages of different classes of human genes, using homology searches in genomes of different taxa in human lineage. We discovered that different classes of human genes have different evolutionary ages and confirmed the existence of TSEEN gene classes. On the other hand, we found that oncogenes, tumor-suppressor genes and differentiation genes are among the oldest gene classes in humans and their evolution occurs concurrently. These findings confirm predictions made by our hypothesis of the possible evolutionary role of hereditary tumors.
Public attitudes toward technological hazards after a technological disaster
Authors: Liu Peng , Wang Rui 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to understand how the 2015 Tianjin Port explosion – which resulted in more than 100 deaths – changed local residents’ acceptance, perceived benefit and risk and trust related to hazardous goods warehouses and chemical plants (HGWCPs) and how it influenced local residents’ decisions about accepting HGWCPs through the lens of the trust heuristic.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey was conducted eight months after the disaster. Respondents were classified into two groups: involved (with direct experience of the explosion) and uninvolved (without direct experience). Their trust in those responsible for HGWCPs, and perceived benefit, perceived risk and acceptance associated with HGWCPs were surveyed.

Findings
The disaster reduced public acceptance of HGWCPs and trust and increased perceived risk. Trust retained an indirect effect on acceptance through perceived benefit in both groups and a direct effect on acceptance in the involved group. Trust partly accounted for the reduction in acceptance of HGWCPs.

Practical implications
Results remind the local government of the medium-term psychological consequences of the Tianjin Port explosion (e.g. increased perceived risk and reduced trust) and suggest the importance of building trust in mitigating risk perceptions of relevant technological hazards.

Originality/value
It represents a valuable addition to the literature on the medium-term psychological consequences of technological disasters and on the public’s decision making about hazardous technologies.

Authors: Silva Marco Antonio Batista da , Costa Priscila Rezende da , Kniess Claudia Terezinha 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyse how the systematisation of environmental training can contribute to the development of individual competences aligned to the environmental dimension of sustainability.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative research approach was used in a multiple case study with three chemical companies: Braskem, Solvay and Beta (fictitious name).

Findings
Data analysis allowed descriptive characterisation of the phases of environmental training and the identification of individual competencies aligned to the environmental dimension of sustainability in the companies surveyed. The results showed that the systematised environmental training, its phases structured to meet the organisational strategic goals of sustainability, helps to develop individual competences of environmental sustainability in the companies analysed.

Research limitations/implications
The contribution of the study to the academy is presented in the deepening of the studies taking into account the gaps presented in the theoretical bases on the subject environmental education. This is the first study that seeks to investigate the stages of environmental training in the development of individual competences in the context of three Brazilian chemical industries. It was possible to describe the process of environmental training in a strategic dimension, used by the companies studied that can contribute to the market, assisting professionals in the areas of human resources and environmental management in the development of training actions.

Originality/value
The value of the paper is given by the reflection on the development of individual competencies for sustainability through environmental training, which can guide future public policies of environmental development for companies in the chemical sector.
Maintenance work for heritage buildings in Malaysia: owners’ perspectives
Authors: Zolkafli Umi Kalsum , Zakaria Norhanim , Mohammad Mazlan Aina , Ali Azlan Shah 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to establish the impacts of good maintenance work for heritage buildings in Malaysia. This purpose is achieved through identifying factors that lead to the lack of maintenance of heritage buildings, establishing strategies to overcome the lack of maintenance of heritage buildings and analyzing the impact of good maintenance work on heritage buildings in Malaysia.

Design/methodology/approach
A quantitative method was employed for this study to identify the variables that most influence the maintenance of heritage buildings in Malaysia. The respondents were the owners of the heritage buildings in Peninsular Malaysia. There were 65 owners of heritage buildings identified from the official website of the Department of National Heritage, Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Malaysia. Simple random sampling was used to obtain the sample size of the targeted respondent. A total of 56 questionnaire surveys were distributed to the owners of heritage buildings. In total, 37 respondents returned the completed questionnaires, resulting in a response rate of 66 percent. The data were analyzed by Descriptive Statistics using Statistical Package for the Social Science software version 20.

Findings
Results show that the factors that lead to the lack of maintenance of heritage buildings are limited finance, the absence of maintenance guideline and ill-defined maintenance policy. The strategies to overcome the problem include providing a financial budget by the respective authorities, establishing a standard maintenance guideline and revising the existing policy.

Research limitations/implications
The paper is limited to the identification of factors that lead to a lack of maintenance and strategies to overcome the problem for the heritage buildings in Malaysia. The respondents are the owners of heritage buildings in Malaysia. The focus is given to them due to the fact that it will help them in understanding the importance of managing and operating for their buildings.

Practical implications
The results offer value-added information to building managers who are responsible for maintaining heritage buildings. Findings show that good maintenance work on heritage buildings can enhance the value and safety of the building as well as preventing heritage buildings from deteriorating.

Social implications
The quality of maintenance could be enhanced by focusing on the important variables that affect the quality of maintenance works of heritage buildings.

Originality/value
Limited studies had been carried out in the context of the maintenance of heritage buildings, especially in Malaysia.
