Notice After Notice-and-Consent: Why Privacy Disclosures Are Valuable Even If Consent Frameworks Aren't
Authors: Susser Daniel 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe dominant legal and regulatory approach to protecting information privacy is a form of mandated disclosure commonly known as “notice-and-consent.” Many have criticized this approach, arguing that privacy decisions are too complicated, and privacy disclosures too convoluted, for individuals to make meaningful consent decisions about privacy choices—decisions that often require us to waive important rights. While I agree with these criticisms, I argue that they only meaningfully call into question the “consent” part of notice-and-consent, and that they say little about the value of notice. We ought to decouple notice from consent, and imagine notice serving other normative ends besides readying people to make informed consent decisions.
Between Integration and Protection of National Sovereignty in the European Union's Radio Spectrum Policy: Uncovering Potential Research Avenues
Authors: Massaro Maria 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThis article stresses the importance to understand the institutional context in which decisions on radio spectrum use are taken. In particular, this article focuses on the European Union's (EU) institutional context. The history of EU radio spectrum policy is narrated highlighting the tension between the EU integration process and protection of national sovereignty. This tension sets the stage to discuss two research areas which call for further attention: lack of legitimacy of EU law and use of soft power to promote EU integration. Investigating these areas may contribute to identify institutional barriers to better decision making for radio spectrum use.

Authors: Brunsdon Dave , Elwood Kenneth J. , Hare John 
Published: July 2019

The 14 November 2016 Kaikōura earthquake resulted in long duration shaking in excess of the code demand for many buildings with fundamental periods between 1 and 2 seconds in Wellington, particularly in those parts of the city where shaking has been amplified due to basin effects and deeper deposits, notably in the port area or Thorndon basin.
This paper outlines the initial response of engineers and the engineering assessment processes undertaken in Wellington in the weeks following the Kaikōura Earthquake, along with the technical support provided to Wellington City Council through the establishment of the Critical Buildings Team and the Wellington Engineering Leadership Group. An overview is provided of the Targeted Assessment Programme subsequently undertaken by Wellington City Council to look more closely at the buildings most likely to be affected. Background is provided to the key elements of the Targeted Damage Evaluation Guidelines that were developed in support of this programme, including the relationship with the Detailed Engineering (Damage) Evaluation process used following the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence.

Context.—
Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of pulmonary nodules is usually guided by computed tomography (CT), whereas ultrasonography (US) is generally considered not applicable for such purposes.

Objective.—
To evaluate the clinical applicability and diagnostic utility of US-guided transthoracic FNAC of peripheral pulmonary nodules.

Design.—
Ultrasonography-guided transthoracic FNAC was obtained from 40 selected patients with peripheral, subpleural, and paravertebral pulmonary nodules. Air-dried and Diff-Quik–stained smears were used for rapid on-site evaluation; additional smears were alcohol fixed for Papanicolaou staining. Cell blocks were set up for immunocytochemical and molecular studies; in 2 cases, a flow cytometry evaluation was also performed. The series was compared to 40 CT-guided pulmonary FNAC samples from patients with pleural, peripheral, and paravertebral pulmonary nodules, to evaluate differences in terms of diagnostic rate, time of execution, safety, and cost.

Results.—
The US-guided FNAC samples had results that were adequate and representative in 95% of cases. No significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in terms of diagnostic rate, number of passes, and cellularity of both smears and cell blocks. The mean time needed for the execution of US-guided FNAC was 13.1 minutes, whereas the mean time for CT-guided FNAC was 23.6 minutes. Thus, US-guided FNAC was significantly more rapid than CT-guided pulmonary FNAC. Because pneumothorax occurred in 1 individual who underwent US-guided FNAC and in 9 who underwent CT-guided FNAC, we might conclude that US-guided FNAC is a significantly safer procedure. Finally, comparing the costs of both procedures, US-guided FNAC is less expensive.

Conclusions.—
Our experience showed an elevated clinical applicability and diagnostic utility of US-guided transthoracic FNAC for selected pulmonary nodules.

Published: July 2019

Labor complications often lead to maternal death. A good antenatal care can reduce maternal and infant mortality. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between antenatal care and labor complication among Indonesian’s mothers. Data of the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2012 from 33 Provinces were used in this study. Samples consisted of 11.803 women aged 15-49 years who delivered baby at sometimes during the last 5 years before survey. A cross-sectional design was used. Variables in the study consisted of dependent variable (labor complication), main independent variable (antenatal care) and potential confounder variables including maternal age in the last labor, mother’s education, number of parity, preceding birth interval, birth attendance, place of delivery, a history of pregnancy complications, history of previous labor complication and multiple pregnancies. A logistic regression was used for analyzing data. Results of this study showed that the prevalence of labor complications was 49.2% and the prevalence of poor antenatal cares (do not use a standard criteria recommended by Indonesian Health Ministry) was 91.2%. After controlling for all potential confounder variables, this study showed that, mothers with a poor antenatal care had a 1.3 times higher risk of labor complications than mothers with a good antenatal care (POR 1.3, 95% CI: 1.1 - 1.4).

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and late-onset sepsis (LOS) are two common premature birth complications with high morbidity and mortality. Recent studies in Europe and America have linked gut microbiota dysbiosis to their etiology. However, similar studies in Asian populations remain scant. In this pilot study, we profiled gut microbiota of 24 Chinese preterm infants from birth till death or discharge from NICU. Four of them developed NEC and three developed LOS. Unexpectedly, we detected highly-diversified microbiota with similar compositions in all patients shortly after birth. However, as patients aged, the microbial diversities in case groups differed significantly from that of the control group. These differences emerged after the third day of life and persisted throughout the course of both NEC and LOS. Using a Zero-Inflated Beta Regression Model with Random Effects (ZIBR), we detected higher Bacillus (p = 0.032) and Solibacillus (p = 0.047) before the onset of NEC and LOS. During NEC progression, Enterococcus, Streptococcus and Peptoclostridium were the dominant genera while during LOS progression; Klebsiella was the only dominant genus that was also detected by the diagnostic hemoculture. These results warrant further studies to identify causative microbial patterns and underlying mechanisms.

Aim: This study evaluated the effect of Ganoderma lucidum on selected biochemical indices for cardiometabolic risk.
Study Design: Case-control study.
Place and duration of Study: This study was carried out in the Department of Medical Laboratory Science, Babcock University between December, 2018-May, 2019.
Methods: The study included 32 female guinea pigs which were assigned into 4 groups (A-D) with 8 in each group. Group A animals served as control, group B animals received only monophasic combined oral contraceptives (COC), group C animals received monophasic COC and 50mg/kg of G. lucidum, group D animals received monophasic COC and 100 mg/kg of G. lucidum. All the test animals received their treatment once daily through oral gavage for 12 weeks. All animals were sacrificed 24 hours after the last dose was given to the test groups. Blood sample was collected via cardiac puncture. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase-A2 (Lp-PLA2), high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP), insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) were determined using spectrophotometric methods and ELISA as appropriate. HOMA-IR was calculated using homeostasis model assessment index. Data obtained were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, post hoc, all values were expressed as mean±standard deviation. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: We observed that groups B (25%) and C (25%) animals had significantly higher levels of hsCRP, LpPLA2, TC, TG, LDL, FBG, IGF-1 and HOMA-IR when compared with groups A (25%) and D animals (25%) (p<0.05), however there was no significant statistical difference when groups B and C were compared. Also we observed higher levels of HDL in groups C and D animals when compared with groups A and B animals but not significant statistically.
Conclusion: The use of G. lucidum stymies the development of COC-induced cardiometabolic syndrome in a dose-dependent manner.

Published: July 2019

Aims: The objective of the present work is the investigation of the physicochemical characteristics of seed coats and kernels from 24 species with medicinal and food applications.
Methodology: Seeds from 24 species (2 herbs, 11 vines and 11 trees), belonging to 13 families, were sampled in Raipur (India) in 2017. The collected seeds were dried and weighed, after which seed coats were manually peeled and separately weighed. Phenolic and mineral contents in the seed coats and kernels were analyzed by spectrophotometric and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques, respectively.
Results: The seed coat fraction represented from 12% to 95% of the seed mass, depending on the species. The concentrations of total polyphenols, flavonoids and minerals in the seed coats varied from 1800 to 32300 mg/kg, from 1200 to 26900 mg/kg, and from 5876 to 36499 mg/kg, respectively. In the seed kernels, TPh, Fla and minerals ranged from 780 to 31760 mg/kg, from 300 to 12020 mg/kg, and from 12595 to 40810 mg/kg, respectively. P, S, K, Mg, Ca and Fe were found to be the main macro- and micro-elements. Seed coats from Loganiaceae, Phyllanthaceae, Lauraceae and Rutaceae families featured the highest total polyphenol contents, and those from Lauraceae and Rutaceae families showed the highest flavonoid concentrations. The highest total mineral contents corresponded to seed coats from Lauraceae, Rutaceae and Euphorbiaceae families.
Conclusion: Indian-laurel and curry tree stand out as promising phytochemical and nutrient sources.

Aim: This study evaluated the Multi-drug resistance (MDR) pattern of Staphylococcus aureus from a paediatric ward and was conducted using standard clinical microbiological procedures.
Location and Duration of Study: The study was carried out on infant samples collected from the Paediatric ward, General Hospital, Ikot-Ekpaw, Mkpat Enin LGA, Akwa-Ibom State, Nigeria, over three (3) months period.
Design of Study: Hundred swab-samples were inoculated on Mannitol salt agar. Positive growths were further biochemically confirmed for Staphylococcus aureus. Confirmed isolates were then used for MDR evaluation.
Results and Interpretation: Of the 100 samples from skin, wound, ear, throat and nose swabs, 28 isolates were confirmed as S. aureus and were subjected to a range of selected commercially available antibiotics like: Amoxicillin, ampiclox, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, rifampicin and streptomycin, to evaluate their susceptibilities. The wound swabs gave the highest isolate percentage yield (32%) followed by skin swabs (29%). Susceptibility results showed that amoxicillin and ampiclox were more resisted by the isolates, while ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and norfloxacin were more effective against the isolates. The Multiple antibiotics resistance (MAR) indices showed that 85.7% of the isolates had confirmed multi-drug resistance status, with 60.7% of the isolates showing resistance to between four or more of the tested antimicrobials. MAR indices revealed that 96.4% of the isolates had 0.3, indicating that the resistance resulted from isolates that adapted to the tested drugs due to some form of abuse. Restricted use of these drugs would help curtail the high resistance currently observed amongst microorganisms.

Published: July 2019

Prevalence of Tuberculosis among Children with Severe Acute Malnutrition at Ola during Children’s Hospital in Freetown Sierra Leone. Worldwide, pediatric tuberculosis account for about 1million cases, annually, accounting for 10-15% of all tuberculosis; with more than 100,000 estimated mortality annually, it is also one of the 10 most common causes of childhood mortality. Aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of tuberculosis among children with severe acute malnutrition at Ola During Children’s Hospital in Freetown Sierra Leone. It was a descriptive cross-sectional study, carried out at the therapeutic feeding center (TFC) of Ola During Children’s Hospital in 2018. An opportunistic sampling method in which every next patient whose mother gave consent was recruited until the number 74 was reached. Patients who met the World Health Organisation (WHO) criteria for diagnosis of severe acute malnutrition were admitted into the TFC and consecutively selected and interviewed using a structured questionnaire after obtaining written informed consent, from their mothers or caregivers. All the mothers approached during the study period consented for the study. Diagnosis of tuberculosis was both clinically and by laboratory investigations, 74 children whose mothers/caregivers consented for the study were recruited. Data was entered into an excel spread sheet and analyzed using Epi info version 7. There were 74 children with a median age of 11 months ± 9.9SD. Forty (54.1%) Males and 34(45.9%) Females, with a M:F ratio of 1.18:1. Prevalence of tuberculosis was 20%. Diagnosis of Tuberculosis was based on clinical findings of extreme weight loss or failure to gain weight, Chest x-ray findings of perihilar infiltrates. Gene Xpert MTB RIF results were all negative 0(0%). Most of the mothers 59 (79.7%) were aged between 20-29 years, 45(60.9%) of them were petty traders, while 15(20.3%) had no formal education. The chi square was used to determine the statistical difference, there was no statistically significant difference between gender and TB, P= 0.3415, there is a statistically significant difference between no formal education and occurrence of tuberculosis in their children P= 0.0467.
Conclusions/Recommendations: Prevalence of Tuberculosis is still high among children with severe acute malnutrition. Gene Xpert MTB RIF was unable to make a bacteriological confirmation. There are difficulties with making bacteriological confirmation of tuberculosis in resource poor settings. Guidelines requiring mainly clinical parameters need to be developed for use in resource limited countries.

Symbiosis of Silica Biomorphs and Magnetite Mesocrystals

Published: July 2019

AbstractSilica biomorphs are extraordinary inorganic superstructures formed via autocatalytic co‐precipitation and bottom‐up self‐assembly of alkaline‐earth carbonates and silica. However, they show no inherent functionality except for their striking textural motifs and curved morphologies. This work presents strategies to magnetize silica biomorphs, thus creating thermally stable ceramic microswimmers with unique elaborate shapes. This is achieved by growing super paramagnetic magnetite mesocrystals on and around the complex curved surfaces of biomorphs, while keeping their morphology and maintaining mesocrystal integrity. Selective mesocrystal formation on certain parts of the substrates is induced by chemical modification of the biomorph surface, increasing the loading of magnetite on the silica–carbonate structures and, in suitable cases, rendering them able to respond to external magnetic fields and move as microswimmer entities. In this way, the complex ultrastructure of silica biomorphs is successfully used as a template for functional ceramics. Furthermore, selective dissolution of the carbonate core from the biomorphs leads to hollow magnetic structures that could be filled with actives, thus serving as microcarriers with considerable loading capacity.
