The Supreme One
Authors: Alexidze Lela 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
In the prologue to his Commentary on Proclus’ Elements of theology Ioane
Petritsi, Georgian Neoplatonist of the twelfth century, argues that the main
subject of Proclus’ Elements is the theory of the supreme One. In Petritsi’s
opinion, Proclus’ merit was to elaborate the philosophy of the ‘pure’,
absolutely transcendent One which is unperceivable even for the Intellect. On
the other hand, the supreme One is, in Petritsi’s interpretation, the cause of
everything, including matter, and It has some positive (‘kataphatic’)
characteristics which cannot be separated from Its hyper-essence. These are,
mainly, Its causality and productivity, Its will and providential activity. The
aim of this article is to analyse, what the supreme One is in Petritsi’s
Commentary and to answer the following question: Do the absolute transcendence
of the supreme One and Its positive characteristics contradict each other or are
they in a certain way compatible with each other? I argue that for making the
transition from the first aspect of the supreme One (Its transcendence) to
another one (Its productivity) more coherent, Petritsi made an attempt to
introduce in the ontological hierarchy one more one after the supreme One and
before the Henads. In my opinion, this ‘second one’, which is almost inseparable
from the supreme transcendent One, is Its another aspect, representing Its
productive activity. For the same purpose, as I think, Petritsi identified the
creative aspect of the One with the Logos/the Son of God and, in certain cases,
also with Plato’s Demiurge.
Verb morphology in speakers with agrammatic aphasia

Published: March 2018

Abstract
This paper reports an investigation of the production of verb morphology in English speakers with agrammatic aphasia. Our main goal was to
test four accounts of the processing of (ir-)regularity by quantifying regularity using affix type and the presence or absence of stem
changes.
Production accuracy of regular, mixed and two types of irregular past participles (irregular 1, irregular 2) was tested in English using a
sentence completion task with a group of five speakers with agrammatic aphasia.
The results showed significant effects on production accuracy of whether the verb required a stem change and of time reference frame but no
effect of affix type: past participles that required stem changes (mixed and irregular 2 past participles) were more difficult to produce
than past participles that did not change their stem (regular and irregular 1 past participles). Moreover, the production of present
continuous forms was more accurate compared to past participle forms.
These results suggest that a categorical conception of regular versus irregular is over-simplified, as accuracy was best predicted by stem
change rather than by regularity. This is a finding most consistent with the Stem-based Assembly model.
The results of this study have implications for the design and selection of stimuli in future experiments: Experimental stimuli need to be
controlled for stem changes and affix type rather than assuming that irregular verbs are homogeneous.
The Bank of International Settlements as a think tank for financial policy-making
Authors: Westermeier Carola 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The Bank of International Settlements (BIS) is known to be the ‘bank of central banks’ and a confidential place where central bankers meet to discuss policies. However, this contribution shows that it is also far more. Economic research and policy-making are closely connected within the BIS. Researchers and analysts provide knowledge for financial regulation and introduce new approaches to policy-makers who meet within the BIS-hosted bodies, such as the Basel Committee of Banking Supervision. The Monetary and Economic Department of the BIS operates like a think tank in the field of financial policy-making. This is exemplified by the introduction of macroprudential regulation, a new approach that originated within the BIS. By combining post-structural discourse theory with the concept of discourse coalition, this paper shows how macroprudential regulation became a frame of reference promising to maintain financial stability and how the BIS benefits from this.
Housing preferences of young adults in Indonesia: housing attributes and consequences
Authors: Farasa N , Kusuma H E 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Nowadays, the housing demand of young adults in Indonesia is important issues for the sustainable development of the market. Facing differences of life phases, such as marriage, leaving home after graduation, and new job positioning, young adults become the main segment facing constant housing choice decisions in the housing market. In their particular phase of life, young adults have distinct preferences for housing attributes which bring a great influence on their lives in the future. Data was gathered from a survey questionnaire that was answered by 180 young adults in Indonesia, ranging from age 22-33 years. The findings suggest that the green area and view, location, simplicity, home design, and accessibility are the significant parts as housing attributes for young adults’ housing preferences in Indonesia. The effect of these attributes has many consequences such as security, personalization, mood/ambiance, maintenance, interaction, image, flexibility, environmental, economy, durability, convenience, comfort, and circulation. The biggest group of young adults who prefer comfort as their wanted consequences tend to have high preferences on housing attributes of the green area and view, and simplicity.

Abstract

Motivation
With the development of biotechnology, DNA methylation data showed exponential growth. Epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) provide a systematic approach to uncovering epigenetic variants underlying common diseases/phenotypes. But the EWAS software has lagged behind compared with genome-wide association study (GWAS). To meet the requirements of users, we developed a convenient and useful software, EWAS2.0.

Results
EWAS2.0 can analyze EWAS data and identify the association between epigenetic variations and disease/phenotype. On the basis of EWAS1.0, we have added more distinctive features. EWAS2.0 software was developed based on our ‘population epigenetic framework’ and can perform: (i) epigenome-wide single marker association study; (ii) epigenome-wide methylation haplotype (meplotype) association study and (iii) epigenome-wide association meta-analysis. Users can use EWAS2.0 to execute chi-square test, t-test, linear regression analysis, logistic regression analysis, identify the association between epi-alleles, identify the methylation disequilibrium (MD) blocks, calculate the MD coefficient, the frequency of meplotype and Pearson's correlation coefficients and carry out meta-analysis and so on. Finally, we expect EWAS2.0 to become a popular software and be widely used in epigenome-wide associated studies in the future.

QuimP: analyzing transmembrane signalling in highly deformable cells
Authors: Baniukiewicz Piotr , Collier Sharon , Bretschneider Till 
Published: March 2018

Abstract

Summary
Transmembrane signalling plays important physiological roles, with G protein-coupled cell surface receptors being particularly important therapeutic targets. Fluorescent proteins are widely used to study signalling, but analyses of image time series can be challenging, in particular when cells change shape. QuimP software semi-automatically tracks spatio-temporal patterns of fluorescence at the cell membrane at high spatial resolution. This makes it a unique tool for studying transmembrane signalling, particularly during cell migration in immune or cancer cells for example.

Availability and implementation
QuimP (http://warwick.ac.uk/quimp) is a set of Java plugins for Fiji/ImageJ (http://fiji.sc) installable through the Fiji Updater (http://warwick.ac.uk/quimp/wiki-pages/installation). It is compatible with Mac, Windows and Unix operating systems, requiring version &gt;1.45 of ImageJ and Java 8. QuimP is released as open source (https://github.com/CellDynamics/QuimP) under an academic licence.

Abstract
Combat-related mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a leading cause of sustained cognitive impairment in military service members and Veterans. However, the mechanism of persistent cognitive deficits including working memory (WM) dysfunction is not fully understood in mTBI. Few studies of WM deficits in mTBI have taken advantage of the temporal and frequency resolution afforded by electromagnetic measurements. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and an N-back WM task, we investigated functional abnormalities in combat-related mTBI. Study participants included 25 symptomatic active-duty service members or Veterans with combat-related mTBI and 20 healthy controls with similar combat experiences. MEG source–magnitude images were obtained for alpha (8–12 Hz), beta (15–30 Hz), gamma (30–90 Hz), and low-frequency (1–7 Hz) bands. Compared with healthy combat controls, mTBI participants showed increased MEG signals across frequency bands in frontal pole (FP), ventromedial prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and anterior dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), but decreased MEG signals in anterior cingulate cortex. Hyperactivations in FP, OFC, and anterior dlPFC were associated with slower reaction times. MEG activations in lateral FP also negatively correlated with performance on tests of letter sequencing, verbal fluency, and digit symbol coding. The profound hyperactivations from FP suggest that FP is particularly vulnerable to combat-related mTBI.
A New Brief Measure of Executive Function: Adapting the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders Task to Older Adults
Authors: Cerino Eric S , Hooker Karen , Stawski Robert S , McClelland Megan 
Published: March 2018

Abstract

Background and Objectives
Executive function (EF) abilities are recognized as components of cognition most likely to show age-related declines. Measurement of EF in older adults is often computer-based, takes place in a laboratory setting, and thus lacks ecological validity. We sought to investigate a new way of measuring EF in older adults by adapting a brief, behavioral measure of EF in children, the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders task (HTKS).

Research Design and Methods
A sample of 150 community-dwelling older adults (Mean age = 68.55, SD = 6.34) completed the HTKS, NIH Toolbox: Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB) and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule.

Results
The HTKS showed adequate internal consistency, α = .84. Significant associations between HTKS variables and measures of attention and inhibitory control were robust to the influences of age, processing speed, and subjective health ratings. HTKS completion time exhibited the strongest associations to NIHTB-CB measures, suggesting that the time it takes older adults to complete the HTKS may be a better measure of EF than the total score. Nonsignificant associations between HTKS variables and positive and negative affect demonstrated discriminant validity.

Discussion and Implications
These results provide initial evidence for use of the HTKS as a brief, low-cost, easy to administer measure of EF in older adults. Further research is needed to determine its potential to identify individuals at risk for poor cognitive outcomes. A brief, valid measure may allow for wider screenings aimed at early intervention, when cognitive interventions are most effective.
Domains and Measurements of Healthy Aging in Epidemiological Studies: A Review
Authors: Lu Wentian , Pikhart Hynek , Sacker Amanda 
Published: March 2018

AbstractPurpose of the StudyFew studies have recommended the essential domains of healthy aging and their relevant measurement to assess healthy aging comprehensively. This review is to fill the gap, by conducting a literature review of domains and measures of healthy aging in epidemiological studies.Design and MethodsA literature search was conducted up to March 31, 2017, supplemented by a search of references in all relevant articles in English. We made a final selection of 50 studies across 23 countries or regions.ResultsNineteen studies applied Rowe and Kahn’s three standards to assess healthy aging. Thirty-seven studies measured physical capabilities mainly by (instrumental) activities of daily living. Cognitive functions were included in 33 studies. Nineteen of them applied Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Twenty-six studies considered metabolic and physiological health, but they mainly asked the self-reported absence of diseases. Twenty-four studies assessed psychological well-being by employing diverse scales. Questions about participation in social activities were mainly asked to measure social well-being in 22 studies. Sixteen studies considered individuals’ general health status, which was mainly measured by self-rated health. Security questions were asked in five studies. Health behaviors were taken into account by three studies. Fifteen studies either applied SF-12/36 or developed health indices to assess healthy aging.ImplicationsThis review summarizes detailed scales or methods that have been used to assess healthy aging in previous epidemiological studies. It also discusses and recommends the essential domains of healthy aging, and the relevant instruments for further epidemiological research to use in the assessment of healthy aging.
Quantifying the binding stoichiometry and affinity of histo-blood group antigen oligosaccharides for human noroviruses

Published: March 2018

AbstractHuman noroviruses (HuNoVs) are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis. Many HuNoVs recognize histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) as cellular receptors or attachment factors for infection. It was recently proposed that HuNoV recognition of HBGAs involves a cooperative, multistep binding mechanism that exploits both known and previously unknown glycan binding sites. In this study, binding measurements, implemented using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) were performed on homodimers of the protruding domain (P dimers) of the capsid protein of three HuNoV strains [Saga (GII.4), Vietnam 026 (GII.10) and VA387 (GII.4)] with the ethyl glycoside of the B trisaccharide (α-d-Gal-(1→3)-[α-l-Fuc-(1→2)]-β-d-Gal-OC2H5) and free B type 1 tetrasaccharide (α-d-Gal-(1→3)-[α-l-Fuc-(1→2)]-β-d-Gal-(1→3)-d-GlcNAc) in an effort to confirm the existence of new HBGA binding sites. After correcting the mass spectra for nonspecific interactions that form in ESI droplets as they evaporate to dryness, all three P dimers were found to bind a maximum of two B trisaccharides at the highest concentrations investigated. The apparent affinities measured for stepwise binding of B trisaccharide suggest positive cooperativity. Similar results were obtained for B type 1 tetrasaccharide binding to Saga P dimer. Based on these results, it is proposed that HuNoV P dimers possess only two HBGA binding sites. It is also shown that nonspecific binding corrections applied to mass spectra acquired using energetic ion source conditions that promote in-source dissociation can lead to apparent HuNoV–HBGA oligosaccharide binding stoichiometries and affinities that are artificially high. Finally, evidence that high concentrations of oligosaccharide can induce conformational changes in HuNoV P dimers is presented.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
One of the requirements for the implementation of Health Promoting Hospitals (HPHs) is comprehensive integration of health promotion (HP) activities and programs in hospital quality management system. Therefore, this systematic review was conducted utilizing a comprehensive European Foundation for Quality Managment (EFQM) model to determine appropriate criteria for the implementation and development of HPH. This systematic review considered the published literature on factors affecting the implementation and development of HPH during 1997–2016. Twenty-three articles were finalized for further investigation. EFQM was used as guidance for the investigation and analysis of studies conducted in relation to HPH. Regarding our results, real need analysis and accurate assessment of needs, attention to infrastructure factors, HPH standardization, promotion of self-care, knowledge enhancement and patient and staff skills training, improvement of quality indicators, continuous participation of HPH committee, designing HP interventions, paying attention to clinical outcome, equity in health, promoting a healthy work environment, continuity and cooperation etc. are among the factors contributing to HPH implementation and development. In case of having high capacity for successful HPH implementation, comprehensive HPH capacity building and resource development are not possible unless they are performed based on one of the framework emphasized by World Health Organization (WHO) such as EFQM.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
School canteens have an important role in modelling a healthy food environment. Price is a strong predictor of food and beverage choice. This study compared the relative price of healthy and less healthy lunch and snack items sold within Australian school canteens. A convenience sample of online canteen menus from five Australian states were selected (100 primary and 100 secondary schools). State-specific canteen guidelines were used to classify menu items into ‘green’ (eat most), ‘amber’ (select carefully) and ‘red’ (not recommended in schools). The price of the cheapest ‘healthy’ lunch (vegetable-based ‘green’) and snack (‘green’ fruit) item was compared to the cheapest ‘less healthy’ (‘amber/red’) lunch and snack item, respectively, using an un-paired t-test. The relative price of the ‘healthy’ items and the ‘less healthy’ items was calculated to determine the proportion of schools that sold the ‘less healthy’ item cheaper. The mean cost of the ‘healthy’ lunch items was greater than the ‘less healthy’ lunch items for both primary (AUD $0.70 greater) and secondary schools ($0.50 greater; p < 0.01). For 75% of primary and 57% of secondary schools, the selected ‘less healthy’ lunch item was cheaper than the ‘healthy’ lunch item. For 41% of primary and 48% of secondary schools, the selected ‘less healthy’ snack was cheaper than the ‘healthy’ snack. These proportions were greatest for primary schools located in more, compared to less, disadvantaged areas. The relative price of foods sold within Australian school canteens appears to favour less healthy foods. School canteen healthy food policies should consider the price of foods sold.
Positive Obligations of the Occupying Power: Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories
Authors: Giacca Gilles , Nohle Ellen 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Military occupation can have a detrimental impact on the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights by the population of an occupied territory. All aspects of civilian life risk stagnation in a prolonged occupation, an outcome that is difficult to reconcile with the obligation on the Occupying Power to ensure civil life in the occupied territory. A protracted occupation, such as that of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, challenges the adequacy of occupation law to effectively ensure an adequate standard of living for the population of the occupied territory as the law of occupation is based on the premise that occupation is a temporary state. In these circumstances, it is argued that international human rights law performs an essential complementary function in developing the obligations of the Occupying Power.
Exact and inexact subsampled Newton methods for optimization
Authors: Bollapragada Raghu , Byrd Richard H , Nocedal Jorge 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The paper studies the solution of stochastic optimization problems in which approximations to the gradient and Hessian are obtained through subsampling. We first consider Newton-like methods that employ these approximations and discuss how to coordinate the accuracy in the gradient and Hessian to yield a superlinear rate of convergence in expectation. The second part of the paper analyzes an inexact Newton method that solves linear systems approximately using the conjugate gradient (CG) method, and that samples the Hessian and not the gradient (the gradient is assumed to be exact). We provide a complexity analysis for this method based on the properties of the CG iteration and the quality of the Hessian approximation, and compare it with a method that employs a stochastic gradient iteration instead of the CG method. We report preliminary numerical results that illustrate the performance of inexact subsampled Newton methods on machine learning applications based on logistic regression.
On Generalized Minors and Quiver Representations
Authors: Rupel Dylan , Stella Salvatore , Williams Harold 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The cluster algebra of any acyclic quiver can be realized as the coordinate ring of a subvariety of a Kac–Moody group—the quiver is an orientation of its Dynkin diagram, defining a Coxeter element and thereby a double Bruhat cell. We use this realization to connect representations of the quiver with those of the group. We show that cluster variables of preprojective (resp. postinjective) quiver representations are realized by generalized minors of highest-weight (resp. lowest-weight) group representations, generalizing results of Yang–Zelevinsky in finite type. In type $A_{n}^{\!(1)}$ and finitely many other affine types, we show that cluster variables of regular quiver representations are realized by generalized minors of group representations that are neither highest- nor lowest-weight; we conjecture this holds more generally.
