Objectives. To assess the prevalence and factors associated with physical and nonphysical violence in a sample of general practitioners (GPs). Methods. We used a cross-sectional design to collect data from December 2014 to March 2015 with a structured self-administered questionnaire from 1015 GPs in Hubei Province, Central China (response rate, 85.6%). We used a multivariable logistic regression model to identify the predictors associated with workplace violence toward GPs. Results. Of the respondents, 62.2% of respondents reported exposure to workplace violence in the preceding year, including 18.9% and 61.4% who encountered physical and nonphysical violence, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested that GPs who were male, at a higher professional level, and who had a lower average monthly income were more likely to experience physical violence. Male GPs, less-experienced GPs, and those with administrative responsibility were more likely than their counterparts to encounter nonphysical violence. Conclusions. This study shows that the prevalence of workplace violence against GPs is high in Hubei, China. Creating a prevention strategy and providing safer workplace environments for GPs should be urgently prioritized.

Objectives. To estimate the risk of mortality from police homicide by race/ethnicity and place in the United States. Methods. We used novel data on police-involved fatalities and Bayesian models to estimate mortality risk for Black, Latino, and White men for all US counties by Census division and metropolitan area type. Results. Police kill, on average, 2.8 men per day. Police were responsible for about 8% of all homicides with adult male victims between 2012 and 2018. Black men’s mortality risk is between 1.9 and 2.4 deaths per 100 000 per year, Latino risk is between 0.8 and 1.2, and White risk is between 0.6 and 0.7. Conclusions. Police homicide risk is higher than suggested by official data. Black and Latino men are at higher risk for death than are White men, and these disparities vary markedly across place. Public Health Implications. Homicide reduction efforts should consider interventions to reduce the use of lethal force by police. Efforts to address unequal police violence should target places with high mortality risk.

Objectives. To determine whether HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use is associated with use of non–HIV-related health care. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study of potential PrEP candidates at a Boston, Massachusetts, community health clinic during 2012 to 2016, comparing the proportion of PrEP users and non-PrEP users receiving primary care. Results. Of 5857 PrEP candidates, 2047 (35%) were prescribed PrEP. After adjustment for demographics and number of visits, more PrEP users received influenza vaccination (prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.28; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.20, 1.37), tobacco screening (PR = 1.06; 95% CI = 1.02, 1.09), and depression screening (PR = 1.07; 95% CI = 1.04, 1.11) compared with non-PrEP users. After additional adjustment for diabetes, hypertension, and overweight or obesity, more PrEP users received glucose testing (PR = 1.64; 95% CI = 1.56, 1.72) but fewer received hemoglobin A1c testing (PR = 0.81; 95% CI = 0.71, 0.93) compared with non-PrEP users. Conclusions. PrEP use was associated with receipt of influenza vaccination, tobacco and depression screening, and glucose but not hemoglobin A1c testing. Among PrEP users receiving routine care, the benefits of PrEP may extend to behavioral health, mental health, and prevention and treatment of other infectious and chronic diseases.

Core Ideas
The Bayesian Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction can deal with unbalanced data.
The Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction elipses can capture the uncertain about unbalanced data sets.
The cross‐validation results showed the ability of Bayesian Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction in genotypes × environments interaction predictions.
The identification of genotypes presenting wide adaptability and stability is pivotal in breeding programs. To identify such genotypes, it is necessary to use sophisticated analytical tools to establish the genotypes × environments interaction (GEI) pattern across multi‐environment trials and select for genotypic stability and adaptability. The aim of the present study was to estimate GEI using Bayesian analysis of Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) models for both balanced and unbalanced data sets and estimate the predictive ability of model. Two studies were assessed to showcase this approach; in the first, 10 commercial maize (Zea mays) single‐cross hybrids and 45 double‐cross hybrids were evaluated at 15 different locations. In the second study, 28 hybrids were evaluated in 35 different environments distributed over two different harvest seasons (first and second harvests) with unbalanced data sets within and between harvests. The Bayesian analysis of the AMMI models was robust in dealing with the unbalanced data. This approach is promising for the identification of interaction patterns and the estimation of GEI. The genotypes and environments could be grouped according to their interaction patterns even using the unbalanced data sets, showing that Bayesian analysis of AMMI models could be applied effectively for multi‐environment trials. The prediction for missing hybrids was satisfactory in a simulated unbalanced design and captured the GEI and patterns in the data. This allowed the direct comparison of genotypes from the first and second harvests and the estimation of selection gain.
No‐Till Green Manure Termination Influences Soil Organic Carbon Distribution and Dynamics
Authors: Marshall Carolyn B , Lynch Derek H 
Published: July 2018

Core Ideas
Soil organic C pools increased under no‐till green manure termination, and this increase persisted over 3 yr following the green manure termination method.
Total organic C and particulate organic matter C showed a stronger response to the green manure termination method than permanganate oxidizable C.
Tillage effects in labile soil organic C pools may be harder to detect in organic systems with high levels of C inputs.
There is continued interest in adopting no‐till practices in organic agriculture. One way to decrease tillage is to implement no‐till termination of green manures. Studies on this novel approach have focused primarily on cash crop performance and weed control. The objective of this study was to examine soil organic C distribution and dynamics as influenced by different methods of green manure termination of a spring‐planted green manure. In this green manure–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–fall rye (Secale cereal L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation three green manure termination methods were compared (no‐till crop roller, spring tillage, and fall tillage). A mixture of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)–oat (Avena sativa L.) was seeded in late May in two trials, the first commencing in 2013 and the second in 2014. Soil organic C was monitored for 3 yr after green manure termination. In Trial 2, total organic C was greater under no‐till green manure termination compared to fall and spring‐till termination (by 2.4 ± 1.2 Mg C ha−1 and 2.3 ± 1.3 Mg C ha−1, respectively) and the effect remained significant in all 3 yr. In Trial 1, particulate organic matter C was stratified in no‐till and concentrated at the soil surface (0–5cm) and higher overall in no‐till in Trial 2. Overall soil organic C was higher under no‐till green manure termination and the more labile pool of POXc appeared less responsive to termination treatments.
A Simplified Simulation Model to Estimate the Storage Length of the Right-Turn Lane in Left-Hand Traffic at Signalised Intersections for Different Signal Phases and Cycle Timings
Authors: Ishak-Thomas Noura , Richardson Steven , Shukla Sanjay Kumar 
Published: July 2018

Introduction:
A large number of the current guidelines and models are used to estimate the right-turn lane (RTL) length in left-hand traffic at signalised intersections under split phase, in which the movement of traffic in the right-turn lane and through lane happen concurrently. There is a need to examine other phase types and timings as a part of the RTL design. This is particularly significant in the case of established intersections that cannot be modified due to physical constraints.

Methods:
A MATLAB based simulation programme was developed to provide an estimate of the right-turn lane storage length for different traffic volumes in order to avoid the problems associated with blockage and overflow of the right turn vehicles in 95% of the traffic signal cycles. The model enhances flexibility when dealing with the complexity of the design of the storage length taking into account different signal phases and timings to overcome the aforementioned problems. The simulation model also takes into consideration the left-over queue from the previous cycle which was ignored by most of the previous studies.

Results and Conclusion:
The model input includes as a configuration matrix containing the sequence of operational states of the intersection. This ensures the flexibility and the simplicity of manipulating the data to reflect all phase types and timings. The model results have been compared against a recently developed analytical model in which similar signal phases and timings were investigated. The outcomes agree to the results that are obtained from the analytical model in most of the signal phases. The developed simulation model is flexible enough to be used further to simulate the situation when there is a large difference between the approaching and opposing traffic volumes and optimise the green time in case of split phase. In this study, the simplified simulation model for estimating the RTL storage length has been developed for the left-hand traffic countries; however, the study is equally applicable to the left-turn lane (LTL) in right-hand traffic countries.
Abdominal Obesity Index as an Alternative Central Obesity Measurement During a Physical Examination
Authors: Amankwah Nigel , Brunetti Ryan , Kotha Vikas , Mercier Cassidy , Li Lin , Ding Jing , Han Zhiyong 
Published: July 2018

Background:
Although BMI (body mass index) has been widely used to determine whether an individual is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, its clinical usefulness for obesity study has been called into question because it does not specifically describe body fat content and distribution and has limited relevance to central obesity, which is most relevant to health risks. Although imaging techniques are used to determine central obesity, they are expensive and are thus not used in a routine physical examination of patients in medical offices.

Objective:
Developing an easy-to-use ABOI (Abdominal Obesity index) to measure central obesity during a physical examination.

Methods:
ABOI is an index utilized to assess central obesity of patients. To determine ABOI, two measurements are taken from the torso; the outer circumference of the thoracic segment, C1, at the xiphoid process and the outer circumference of the abdominal segment, C2, at the point of largest girth. The volume of the abdominal segment is divided by the volume of the thoracic segment to derive ABOI (V2/V1 = [C2]2/[C1]2). Thus, ABOI is the square of the ratio of the circumference of the abdominal segment to the circumference of the thoracic segment of the torso. Moreover, the ABOI does not concern total body weight, body height, or body shape (e.g. “apple-shaped” or “pear-shaped” body types). Instead, ABOI specifically highlights central obesity. We randomly recruited 282 subjects, ages 20-90 years, at a community health service center in Beijing, China, and determined their ABOI and BMI values.

Results:
The mean (standard deviation) BMI for the female and male subjects is, respectively, 24.24 kg/m2 (3.35) and 24.86 kg/m2 (3.25). For ABOI, mean (standard deviation) is 1.17 (0.16) and 1.01 (0.13) for females and males, respectively. There is no strict relationship between ABOI and BMI in the context of obesity as defined by high BMI values, and ABOI appears to be a more specific measure of central obesity than BMI.

Conclusion:
ABOI is a useful and distinct independent measurement of central obesity, and ABOI (possibly in combination with the waist-to-height ratio) appears to be a more specific way to assess central obesity during a physical examination.

Authors: Khamis Azme Bin , Yee Phang Hou 
Published: July 2018

The goal of this study is to compare the forecasting performance of classical artificial neural network and the hybrid model of artificial neural network and genetic algorithm. The time series data used is the monthly gold price per troy ounce in USD from year 1987 to 2016. A conventional artificial neural network trained by back propagation algorithm and the hybrid forecasting model of artificial neural network and genetic algorithms are proposed. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the of artificial neural network neurons. Three forecasting accuracy measures which are mean absolute error, root mean squared error and mean absolute percentage error are used to compare the accuracy of artificial neural network forecasting and hybrid of artificial neural network and genetic algorithm forecasting model. Fitness of the model is compared by using coefficient of determination. The hybrid model of artificial neural network is suggested to be used as it is outperformed the classical artificial neural network in the sense of forecasting accuracy because its coefficient of determination is higher than conventional artificial neural network by 1.14%. The hybrid model of artificial neural network and genetic algorithms has better forecasting accuracy as the mean absolute error, root mean squared error and mean absolute percentage error is lower than the artificial neural network forecasting model.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
In this study, molecular imprinted polymers for highly selective recognition of cholic acid, which is a bile acid, were prepared. Acrylamide, methacrylic acid, methacrylamide were chosen as monomer for the production of molecularly imprinted polymers. Functional monomers were polymerized with various crosslinkers; ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), 1,4-butanediol diacrylate (BUT), trimethylpropane triacrylate (TMT) with target molecule (MIP-EGDMA, MIP-BUT and MIP TMT) and various MIPs were prepared. The cholic acid was removed from MIP with a suitable method. NIP polymers were synthesized without cholic acid (NIPEGDMA, NIP-BUT and NIP-TMT). For the characterization of synthesized polymers FTIR, DSC, TGA, SEM analyses were used. The parameters that affect the adsorption of target species on polymers such as temperature, pH, and concentration were evaluated. The selectivity and reusability studies were also investigated.
It is concluded that MIPs showed better adsorption capacity than NIPs for all solvents for cholic acid. The adsorption sequencing is MIP-TMT > MIP-BUT > MIP EGDMA. The maximum adsorption achieved with ethyl alcohol. The adsorption of cholic acid varies with chancing pH for all produced MIPs and NIPs. It is concluded that the adsorption of cholic acid is not affected by the temperature. The adsorption of cholic acid is followed as L type from Giles adsorption isotherms. The thermodynamic parameters are proved the physical nature of adsorption process. The studies conducted with deoxycholic acid, taurocholic acid that is homolog to cholic acid showed that produced MIPs are highly selective for cholic acid.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
The common issue for medical information systems are missing values. Generally, gaps are filled by statistically suggested values or rule-based methods. Another approach is to use the knowledge of information systems working under the same ontology. The medical incomplete system receives a query unable to answer, because of some unknown patient attributes. So, it has to communicate with other medical systems. The result of the collaboration is collective knowledgebase. In this paper, we propose a measure supporting choice of closest pair of systems. It determines the distance between the two systems. We use ERID algorithm to extract rules from incomplete, distributed information systems. Each constructed rule has confidence and support. They allowed to determine the distance between a pair of medical information systems. The proposed solution was verified on the basis of several “manipulated” medical information systems. Next, the solution was verified in systems with randomly selected data. The satisfying results were obtained and based on them, the proposed measure can be successfully used in medical systems to support the work of doctors and the treatment of patients.

Abstract
African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is new species for the Bulgarian market. It is a valuable source of biologically active components that play an important role in human diet, but there is lack of information for the quality of its dietary lipids. This study focuses on the assessment of skin and edible tissue lipid quality of farmed African catfish based on lipid content and detailed fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins, cholesterol and carotenoids composition. Fatty acid composition was determined by gas chromatography with mass spectrometer (GC/MS) after lipid extraction. Vitamins A, D3 and E, beta-carotene, astaxanthin and cholesterol were analyzed simultaneously using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet and fluorescence detectors. Lipids, cholesterol, astaxanthin and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) were significantly higher in skin, whereas vitamin A and E, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were higher in muscle tissue. Vitamin D3 showed comparable amounts in both tissues. Eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n3) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n3) which are important indicators for fish lipids quality presented significantly high amounts. A portion of 100 g filet without skin contains approximately 600 mg. Results confirmed that African catfish meat - with or without the skin, can be valuable and preferable source of biologically active lipids.
