Shoulder Range of Motion and Baseball Arm Injuries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Bullock Garrett S. , Faherty Mallory S. , Ledbetter Leila , Thigpen Charles A. , Sell Timothy C. 
Published: December 2018

Objective
Arm injuries in baseball players are a common problem. The identification of modifiable risk factors, including range of motion (ROM), is essential for injury prevention. The purpose of this review was to assess the methodologic quality and level of evidence in the literature and to investigate the relationship between shoulder ROM and the risk of arm injuries in baseball players.

Data Sources
Relevant studies in PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and SPORTDiscus published from inception to August 1, 2017.

Study Selection
Only studies that encompassed healthy baseball cohorts who were assessed for shoulder ROM and prospectively evaluated for injuries throughout a baseball season or seasons were included.

Data Extraction
Six articles met the search criteria. Only 3 studies were included in the meta-analysis due to disparate participant groups.

Data Synthesis
The modified Downs and Black scale (0–15 points) was used to analyze methodologic quality. Study quality ranged from 11 to 14. Four studies received high-quality (≥12) and 2 studies received moderate-quality (≥10) scores. The overall pooled analysis demonstrated that absolute and internal-rotation deficits (–5.93 [95% confidence interval {CI} = –9.43, –2.43], P &lt; .001 and 4.28 [0.71, 7.86], P = .02, respectively) and absolute total ROM (TROM; –6.19 [95% CI = –10.28, –2.10]; P = .003) were predictors of injury, and these data exhibited homogeneity (absolute IR P value = .77, I2 = 0%; IR deficit P value = .41, I2 = 0%; absolute TROM P value = .78, I2 = 0%). No significance was observed for absolute external rotation (–2.86 [95% CI = –6.56, 0.83], P = .13), which had data with high heterogeneity (P = .003; I2 = 83%). A deficit in horizontal adduction was a predictor of injury (–8.32 [95% CI = –12.08, –4.56]; P &lt; .001); these data were homogeneous but yielded a moderate heterogenic effect (P = .16; I2 = 50%).

Conclusions
High-quality evidence demonstrated that deficits in throwing-arm TROM and IR were associated with upper extremity injury in baseball players. Heterogeneity across studies for horizontal adduction suggested that this may be a modifiable risk factor for injury, but it requires further research.
The “Frequent Attendee” Project: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Identifying Important Factors, which Influence Frequent Attendances to the Emergency Department
Authors: Caswell Angela T. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Background: During routine emergency department (ED) patient attendance validation, a trend began to emerge, related to the reason for frequent attendance among individuals. Dialogue among staff in the department who referred to this client group as “regulars” was concerning, as it was believed that it might lead to a degree of unintentional complacency that might result in a potentially vulnerable group slipping through the net. The aim was to examine the unique profile of frequent attendees, establish preventative factors, and develop action plans to offer more specific support. A multidisciplinary team was formed to examine the profiles of these cases and develop specific action plans to address their unique needs in an attempt to prevent unnecessary admissions to the ED at Cwm Taf University Health Board, South Wales. Materials and Methods: Using a Plan–Do–Study–Act methodology over 18 months, a trend analysis identified specific demographic characteristics of age and sex of the sample group (n = 11). The main reasons for attendance were related to alcohol, substance misuse, and learning disabilities. Results: Results showed that the group included eight males, five of which fell into the 18–25 age group and attended on weekdays, with peak times between 9 am and 5 pm. The other three men fell into the 26–35 age group and attended most frequently after 5 pm, with the peak day being Thursdays. Weekend activity was sustained among the 18–25 age group, and the 26–35 age group had the highest attendances on Sundays. Three females from this group fell into the 26–35 age group and reflected no difference in attendance patterns. Common factors of the sample were unemployment and a socially deprived location. Conclusion: The project resulted in a 75% reduction in visits to the ED from this group of patients. Networking with other hospitals in the area yielded reports that only one of the patients had changed areas and attended another department.
The history of And&#248;ya Rocket Range
Authors: Thrane Eivind V. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract. Just 5 years after Sputnik, on 18 August 1962, Norway launched the first sounding rocket from Andøya in northern Norway. The establishment of Andøya Rocket Range (ARR), in the Arctic and right in the middle of the night-time auroral zone, gave the scientists unique opportunities for studies of the complex processes in the auroral ionosphere and upper atmosphere. In close cooperation with the users, ARR gradually developed its technical and scientific infrastructure and is now one of the world's leading observatories in this field. ARR has also established a launch site at Svalbard, and sounding rockets from both ranges can reach far into the Arctic to study the cusp region and the daytime aurora. The ground-based instruments comprise sophisticated radars and lidars as well as passive instruments. ARR also plays an active role in space education. In 2014 Andøya Rocket Range changed its name to Andøya Space Center (ASC; https://www.andoyaspace.no, last access: 23 November 2018). This change reflects the fact that the activities now comprise much more than sounding rocket launches. ASC is an important company both nationally and in the local community of Andenes. ASC now has a staff of 95 and an annual turnover of NOK 150 million.
Introduction: Kristeva and Race
Authors: Bové Carol Mastrangelo 
Published: December 2018

The Kristeva Circle Conference of 2017 in Pittsburgh confirmed that writers throughout the world have been engaging with Julia Kristeva’s thought in large numbers and in ways relevant to “an ethics of inclusion,” the topic of the Conference. The question of race arguably came to a head at the conference when one of the founders of the Kristeva Circle, Fanny Söderbäck, commented on the paper just delivered by Kristeva via Skype, “The Psychic Life--A Life in Time: Psychoanalysis and Culture.” According to Söderbäck, we run the risk of reinforcing Islamophobic views that equate terrorism with Islam if we focus on young women intent on jihad without simultaneously addressing the behavior of white men bent on white supremacist violence and terrorism. Kristeva did not directly address the issue of her lecture’s reinforcement of Islamophobic views in her response. Instead, she spoke at some length about a patient whose confrontation with Arabic poetry led to improvement in her psychic health. I introduce the following papers in part as a dialogue with Kristeva on race and as a response to Söderbäck’s comments. The essays all make reference to questions of race and ethnicity in Kristeva’s work. They do so in ways that provoke thought on the contributions of psychoanalytic writing, appreciated and also criticized for its universalizing tendencies, which may in part explain its vulnerability to charges of racism.
Narrative Toledot Formulae in Genesis: The Case of Heaven and Earth, Noah, and Isaac
Authors: Schwartz Sarah 
Published: December 2018

This paper reexamines the literary function of the narrative toledot formulae in Genesis, claiming that the formula thrice (Gen 2:4; 6:9; 25:19) introduces a passage about the specified father rather than one solely about his sons. This finding is based on a philological analysis of the word toledot and the formula's unique literary design in these three instances. This reading illuminates the inner tension between renewal and continuity in the Flood narrative; leads to the exposure of a unit about Isaac within the patriarchal cycles; and offers a new understanding of chapter 1's exclusion from the toledot framework.
Análise comparativa da velocidade do vento e da temperatura do ar, entre dados gerados por reanálises meteorológicas e dados observacionais na região de Minas Gerais
Authors: Micalichen Mauren Lucila Marques de Morais , Dias Nelson Luís da Costa 
Published: December 2018

The use of alternative sources of meteorological data has become increasingly common, making it possible to evaluate areas with no long or continuous series of meteorological data. In this context, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of data series from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction / National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) for the state of Minas Gerais and verify the possible use of them in the absence of data observations of air temperature and wind speed. The analyzes were performed by comparing observation data from 17 meteorological stations and reanalysis data of the CFSR and CFSV2 models. From the results of the statistical analysis, it is observed that the air temperature reanalysis data presented a good performance in the region of study. However, wind speed data show a weak correlation. These results show that the air temperature data from these reanalyses have the potential to be used as an alternative source of data. Further studies are suggested regarding the use of wind speed data from these reanalyses.

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) have been employed to investigate turbulent flows. In atmospheric turbulence, this methodology is widely used and, sometimes is complementary to field experiments, leading a more detailed about turbulent flow. In this work a LES model was utilized to describe the influence exerted by a hot plume, emitted for a thermal power-plant in the atmospheric flow in the planetary boundary-layer.

In the present study, the evolution the diurnal cycle of planetary boundary layer in the wet season at Amazon region during a period of intense observations carried out in the GOAmazon Project 2014/2015 (Green Ocean Amazon).The analysis includes radiosonde and remote sensing data. In general case, the results of the daily cycle in the wet season indicate a Nocturnal boundary layer with a small oscillation in its depth and with a tardy erosion. The convective boundary layer did not present great depth, responding to the low values of sensible heat of the wet season. A comparison between the different techniques(in situ observations and remote sensing) for estimating the planetary boundary layer is also presented.
Estudo do impacto de diferentes índices associados ao El Niño oscilação sul na produtividade de soja no Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Arsego Diogo Alessandro , Ferraz Simone Erotildes Teleginski , Streck Nereu Augusto , Cardoso Andrea De Oliveira , Zanon Alencar Junior 
Published: December 2018

The main factor associated with decreaes in soybean yield in Rio Grande do Sul is the irregular distribution of precipitation and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the major responsible for the precipitation variability. The aim of this work was to analyze the relationship between climatic indicators associated with ENSO and soybean yield in the State. Series of soybean yield from 87 municipalities were evaluated between 1984 and 2013. These series were ordered in three groups of similar behavior (high, medium and low yield). The mean profiles of these groups were correlated with indices for Sea Surface Temperature anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region, the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and the Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI) with differents lags. SOI and MEI showed higher correlations with yield in periods of higher water requirement of the crop. El Niño episodes have beenassociated with increased yield and in situations of neutrality and La Niña, the influence of the phenomenon is less evident. In addition, the absence of a significant correlation in the time of preparation of the crop and in the beginning of the plantation evidences the necessity of including new indices in the discussions of agricultural planning in the State.
Les idéologies linguistiques chez quelques chroniqueurs du journal Le Devoir de 1990 à 2015 : examen d’un discours d’autorité
Authors: Boudreau Annette 
Published: December 2018

L’article a pour objet d’examiner les idéologies linguistiques, plus particulièrement l’idéologie du standard, dans les textes de Louis Cornellier, de Christian Rioux et d’Antoine Robitaille, parus dans le quotidien Le Devoir entre 1990 et 2015. Le Devoir est considéré comme le journal des intellectuels, et les articles sur le français, tenus comme vrais et légitimes, font figure de discours d’autorité en la matière. À partir de l’examen de plus de 400 articles et en prenant pour cadre d’analyse les trois procédés sémiotiques (iconicité, récursivité et effacement) conçus par Judith Irvine et Susan Gal, l’auteure montre comment l’idéologie du standard traverse les textes, tout en se manifestant différemment selon le positionnement des chroniqueurs. Elle met l’accent sur la dimension historiographique, soit le parcours intellectuel des chroniqueurs, pour bien souligner que les opinions sur la langue se transforment au gré des événements politiques et sociaux d’une époque. La « déstandardisation » qui s’est opérée depuis les années 1960 au Canada français a entraîné avec elle une forme de « performance » de l’identité, processus qui met en scène les particularités linguistiques régionales, y compris les emprunts à l’anglais, ce qui ébranle les fondements sur lesquels s’est construite l’identité francophone au Canada depuis la fin du xixe siècle.
François-Xavier Garneau et la presse. Écrire, fabriquer et penser le journal*
Authors: Cambron1 Micheline 
Published: December 2018

François-Xavier Garneau participe activement, entre 1831 et 1841, à la vie médiatique québécoise. Il publie d’abord des poèmes dans le journal Le Canadien puis, sur le modèle du Penny Magazine, fonde un hebdomadaire à bas prix qui dure quelques mois en 1833-1834, L’Abeille canadienne. Durant le reste de la décennie, il publie des poèmes, dont des étrennes du gazetier, et des récits de batailles dans Le Canadien. Ces contributions sont importantes et remarquées, comme en témoigne dès 1834 la présence de Garneau à titre de personnage dans la première des Comédies du statu quo. En 1841, Garneau devient corédacteur de l’hebdomadaire l’Institut. Publication scientifique, industrielle et littéraire, journal à bas prix qui ne dure que douze semaines. Loin de ne constituer qu’une activité ancillaire à ses préoccupations historiennes, les pratiques médiatiques de Garneau sont autant de jalons dans le processus le conduisant à effectuer les choix épistémologiques qui marqueront l’écriture de son Histoire : ancrages énonciatifs situés dans le présent de l’écriture et mise en relief de l’exercice du jugement, inscription de l’histoire canadienne dans l’histoire universelle, importance narrative des représentations identitaires et rôle déterminant de la presse dans la création du lien social qui soude la nation. Garneau déploie ainsi une conception originale du savoir qui unit histoire et littérature et témoigne d’une fine compréhension du pouvoir des médias.
Biological soil crusts inhibit seed germination in a temperate pine barren ecosystem
Authors: Gilbert Jessica A. , Corbin Jeffrey D. 
Published: December 2018

Aims: Biological soil crusts (BSCs) are known to affect plants’ germination and seedling establishment in arid ecosystems, but their ecological role in more mesic climates is not so well-known. We tested the effects of moss-crusted versus uncrusted soils on seed germination dynamics in a temperate pine barren ecosystem.
Methods: We conducted a 35-day laboratory assay of seed germination on moss-crusted soils versus uncrusted soils from the Albany (NY) Pine Bush Preserve. We tested total seed germination and the number of days to 50% of total germination (T50) of two herbaceous perennial forb species in each soil type.
Results: Three and five times more seeds germinated on uncrusted soil than on crusted soil for bush clover (Lespedeza capitata) and wild lupine (Lupinus perennis), respectively. Seeds of both species also germinated approximately 10 days earlier on uncrusted soil than on crusted soil.
Conclusions: This study, and others in similar habitats, show that BSCs in mesic climates can influence germination and other early life-history stages of plants. We hope that further study of the interactions between BSCs and vascular plants in mesic climates will contribute to our understanding of the ecology of BSCs outside the arid and semiarid climates where they are more extensively studied.

Published: December 2018

Background
Understanding hub genes involved in gastric cancer (GC) metastasis could lead to effective approaches to diagnose and treat cancer. In this study, we aim to identify the hub genes and investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of GC.

Methods
To explore potential therapeutic targets for GC,three expression profiles (GSE54129, GSE33651, GSE81948) of the genes were extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The GEO2R online tool was applied to screen out differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between GC and normal gastric samples. Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery was applied to perform Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of these DEGs was constructed using a STRING online software. The hub genes were identified by the CytoHubba plugin of Cytoscape software. Then, the prognostic value of these identified genes was verified by gastric cancer database derived from Kaplan-Meier plotter platform.

Results
A total of 85 overlapped upregulated genes and 44 downregulated genes were identified. The majority of the DEGs were enriched in extracellular matrix organization, endodermal cell differentiation, and endoderm formation. Moreover, five KEGG pathways were significantly enriched, including ECM-receptor interaction, amoebiasis, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, focal adhesion, protein digestion and absorption. By combining the results of PPI network and CytoHubba, a total of nine hub genes including COL1A1, THBS1, MMP2, CXCL8, FN1, TIMP1, SPARC, COL4A1, and ITGA5 were selected. The Kaplan-Meier plotter database confirmed that overexpression levels of these genes were associated with reduced overall survival, except for THBS1 and CXCL8.

Conclusions
Our study suggests that COL1A1, MMP2, FN1, TIMP1, SPARC, COL4A1, and ITGA5 may be potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GC. Further study is needed to assess the effect of THBS1 and CXCL8 on GC.
In search of transfer following cued recall practice: The case of process‐based biology concepts
Authors: Pan Steven C. , Hutter Sarah A. , D'Andrea Dominic , Unwalla Daanish , Rickard Timothy C. 
Published: December 2018

SummaryPrevious work has demonstrated that cued recall of a term from a fact yields learning that does not transfer, relative to a restudy control, to recall of another term from the same fact. Here we report six experiments in which a series of manipulations during the initial study and training phases of learning, hypothesized to increase transfer for process‐based biology concepts, were investigated. In Experiments 1 and 2, fill‐in‐the‐blank questions combined with immediate or delayed and repeated correct answer feedback improved learning but not transfer. In Experiments 3 and 4, practice questions that involved recalling process steps, understanding ordinal relationships, or making inferences did not improve transfer. Positive transfer was produced, however, in Experiments 5 and 6 via retrieval–verification–scoring, a new method in which difficult fill‐in‐the‐blank questions were combined with extensive feedback processing. We discuss implications for transfer in both theoretical and applied contexts.
The Method of Reagent Control Based on Time Series Distribution of Bubble Size in a Gold‐Antimony Flotation Process
Authors: Li Zhongmei , Gui Weihua 
Published: December 2018

AbstractDue to the distribution of bubble size changes with the reagent dosage in a flotation process, a dosage control method based on time series distribution of bubble size during the gold‐antimony flotation process is proposed. Firstly, since the flotation conditions cannot be described fully by the features of a single froth image, the concept of cumulative distribution function (CDF) is presented for describing the time series distribution of consecutive multi‐frame bubble sizes, and approximated by a third order B‐spline function. After that, a method that combines an radial basis function (RBF) neural network with the genetic algorithm (GA‐RBF) is used to obtain the optimal CDF of the bubble size, then, a projection pursuit method is employed to reduce the multi‐dimensional weights. Finally, a nonlinear prediction model combining reagent dosage and the projection vector is constructed based on partial least square through spline transformation (PLSS). The error between the output and the given CDF can be optimized by a differential evolution algorithm. The industrial experiment demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Published: December 2018

AbstractAimThe current study examined men's perceptions and preferences for four types of psychotherapy.MethodMen (N = 315) were recruited by Qualtrics panels to complete a survey that included vignettes describing therapeutic orientations.ResultsHierarchical regression analyses demonstrated that gender role socialisation, self‐stigma and attitudes about professional psychological help negatively predicted willingness to engage in psychodynamic, person‐centred, cognitive behavioural and positive psychology positive masculinity therapy. Furthermore, men in the study preferred positive psychology positive masculinity therapy to cognitive behavioural therapy.ConclusionGiven the role of gender role socialisation, self‐stigma and fear of femininity in the development of barriers to men's help‐seeking, the present study provides support for “man friendly” therapeutic orientations such as the positive psychology positive masculinity model. Implications for clinical practice and future directions for research are discussed.
