Introduction Rapid globalization has produced a growing demand for the chronic care management of overseas populations living in medically underserved areas. This study investigated the utilization pattern of telehealth counselling among overseas Koreans with high blood pressure, and evaluated the relationships between mobile self-monitoring application and blood pressure reduction. Methods A global chronic management programme consisting of lifestyle modification and self-monitoring blood pressure was launched to provide a telehealth counselling service for Koreans with high blood pressure living in Vietnam from August 2016 to December 2017. During the first telehealth session, doctors educated patients on lifestyle modifications using a mobile self-monitoring application and checked the change of blood pressure in a follow-up telehealth visit. We examined utilization patterns and compared the blood pressure change among the mobile self-monitoring group versus the control group using Wilcoxon signed rank tests. Results A total of 234 patients with systolic blood pressure of more than 130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of more than 80 mmHg were registered, installed the mobile app and were provided with automated blood pressure devices with the telehealth counselling service by Korean doctors. A follow-up telehealth counselling session was provided at three months. Only 15% (36/234) received two or more telehealth counselling sessions. Significant differences were found in the mean change of systolic blood pressure at three months in the monitoring group and the non-monitoring group (−16.0 vs. −5.7, p = 0.008). Discussion In this unique telehealth study, a mobile self-monitoring application was associated with significantly reducing systolic blood pressure levels in three months. Encouraging patients via a mobile application that includes a self-monitoring function might have the potential for self-managing chronic diseases, especially in resource-limited environments.

Introduction The prevalence of major trauma in the elderly is increasing with ageing western societies. Frailty is now a well-recognised predictor of poor outcome after injury; however, few studies have focused on the progression of frailty and patients’ perceptions of their injuries after discharge. Aim We hypothesised that the number of elderly patients that survive major trauma is low and, of those that do, frailty post injury worsens with overall negative views about quality of life. To investigate this, we examined mortality, frailty and patient experience for elderly major trauma admissions to a level 1 trauma centre at one year after admission. Method All consecutive patients > 75 with an injury severity score of > 15 were included in the study. Patients were invited to participate in a structured telephone interview to assess change in frailty status as well as assess patient experience after injury. Results A total of 79 patients met inclusion criteria; 34 patients had died and 17 were uncontactable; 88% had become more frail ( p < 0.05), and more than half commented positively on their overall quality of life following injury. Conclusions These findings highlight the elevated mortality in elderly major trauma patients, but also indicate that preconceived opinions on quality of life, post injury, might not be appropriate.

SummaryIn this issue, Stigsdotter et al show that nature gardens offer similar benefits to cognitive–behavioural therapy for managing stress-related illnesses among people on sick leave. There is scope for pragmatic trials to establish the processes involved and highlight the co-benefits that nature gardens offer for health and the environment.Declaration of interestNone.
The importance of medication reviews in a primary care setting
Authors: Shepherd Alison Burton 
Published: June 2018

Medication reviews are important in primary care and help prevent adverse reactions from medications, improve the medical condition of the patient and reduce the usage of medicines to save money in the NHS. A medication review can be conducted by a suitably qualified nurse, doctor or pharmacist either as part of a meeting or medical consultation with a patient. Where possible, it is suggested that medication reviews be tailored to suit individual patient needs and held in conjunction with medicine reconciliation as both of these factors are important in prevention of hospital admission. The aim of this article is to identify which patient groups may benefit from a medication review and will provide insight into the process using an anonymised example from clinical practice.
Grey theory based evaluation of importersâ€™ strategies for hedging the price risk in the Tanzanian oil supply chain: a focus on derivative products
Authors: P. Massami Erick , M. Manyas Malima , M. Myamba Benitha 
Published: June 2018

The landed cost for oil products in local markets is very often affected by the fluctuation of price related to the international purchasing from oil markets. As a result, oil products are primarily procured via term contracts i.e. derivatives as wholesalers are typically loath to rely heavily on spot supplies as these may be unreliable and exhibit high price volatility. In this study, we apply Grey Theory to evaluate the derivatives based strategies of the Tanzanian oil products imports for hedging the price risk in the local market. After comprehensive evaluation, we find that the applicability of oil derivatives by the Tanzanian importers is high. Thus, the government (i.e. Ministry of Finance and Planning, Ministry of Trade and Industry) and other stakeholders have the obligation to continue bringing awareness on the benefits of the derivative instruments in the purchasing of oil products, which ultimately upon application would bring a relief to all consumers of the oil products in the country. Moreover, as the grey theory can deal with vague and incomplete data, the proposed model can be applied as an evaluation tool for quantifying qualitative data in any industry.Â Â
Biomechanical characteristics of Taekwondo athletes: kicks and punches vs. laboratory tests
Authors: Buśko Krzysztof , Nikolaidis Pantelis T. 
Published: June 2018

Summary
Study aim: The aim of the study was to examine biomechanical characteristics of taekwondo athletes comparing kicks and punches with laboratory tests of muscle strength and power. Material and methods: Six male taekwondo athletes participated in this study. Measurements of maximal punching with the rear hand (hook and straight punches) and kicking (Apdolio and Dwit Chagi) force were performed on a boxing dynamometer. Also, the following laboratory tests were performed: jump height and power output in counter movement jump (CMJ) and spike jump (SPJ), muscle strength for 10 muscle groups and force-velocity (F-v) relationship. Results: Mean maximal straight and hook punching forces were 1659.2 ± 254.2 N and 1843.8 ± 453.3 N, respectively. Maxi­mal Apdolio rear leg, Apdolio lead leg and Dwit Chagi rear leg kicking forces were 3541.3 ± 1130.3 N, 3205.3 ± 965.1 N and 3568.0 ± 1306.0 N, respectively. The heights of jumps were 0.501 ± 0.040 m (CMJ) and 0.554 ± 0.034 m (SPJ). A strong cor­relation between the maximal force of a punch and maximal joint torques was observed. Conclusions: The values of kicking forces developed in a simulated fight were lower than the forces developed in the test of individual kicks. Strong relationships were observed between leg power developed in the SPJ and force of individual Apdolio kicks performed with the lead (r = 0.87, p < 0.05) and rear leg (r = 0.74). Based on these findings, it was concluded that maxi­mal joint torques and height of the SPJ could be used as a proxy of kicking force.
Improving energy efficiency of supercomputer systems through software-aided liquid cooling management
Authors: Januszewski Radosław , Różycki Rafał , Waligóra Grzegorz 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Many fields of modern science rely more and more on the immense computing power of supercomputers. Modern, multi-thousand node systems can consume megawatts of electrical energy in highly uneven manner, challenging the data center infrastructure, both power and cooling coils. The traditional way of managing the infrastructure makes each subsystem of a data center (e.g. cooling) independent from all other in the way it relies only on local sensors to manage the infrastructure. The erratic nature of computing in a large data center makes this approach suboptimal. In the paper we show that by challenging the traditional split between the infrastructure and the computing equipment, one can gain significant boost in energy efficiency of the entire ecosystem. A solution that predicts cooling power demand basing on the information from a supercomputer resource manager, and then sets up the parameters of the cooling loop, is presented along with potential benefits in terms of reduction of the power draw.
Architecture Enabling Adaptation of Data Integration Processes for a Research Information System

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Today, many efforts have been made to implement information systems for supporting research evaluation activities. To produce a good framework for research evaluation, the selection of appropriate measures is important. Quality aspects of the systems’ implementation should also not be overlooked. Incomplete or faulty data should not be used and metric computation formulas should be discussed and valid. Correctly integrated data from different information sources provide a complete picture of the scientific activity of an institution. Knowledge from the data integration field can be adapted in research information management. In this paper, we propose a research information system for bibliometric indicator analysis that is incorporated into the adaptive integration architecture based on ideas from the data warehousing framework for change support. A data model of the integrated dataset is also presented. This paper also provides a change management solution as a part of the data integration framework to keep the data integration process up to date. This framework is applied for the implementation of a publication data integration system for excellence-based research analysis at the University of Latvia.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Flavonoid structures, found in nature or obtained by synthesis, may be very complex. These Recommendations provide a guide for flavonoid aglycone names. This will also allow the construction of the names for their polyglycosylated species with clarity and conciseness. A joint working party of IUPAC/IUBMB members has prepared these recommendations, which establish rules for the general nomenclature of flavonoids, providing examples of acceptable trivial names, and names derived from trivial names, together with semi-systematic and fully systematic names that follow the published IUPAC recommendations.

Authors: Wielecki Krzysztof 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
In this article, I discuss the nature, causes and effects of the crisis of civilization which we can observe for over forty years. This crisis affects social order, with its economic, institutional and demographic dimensions, as well as the culture and the social structure. Here, I am particularly dealing with the question of human person and their relations with others, as well as the humanities. I show globalization, the growth of cancerous mass culture and secularization as a background of the crisis of civilization. In this context, I try to show the importance of Chiara Lubich and her work.
From the Charism to Action in Educational, Organizational and Social Aspect on the Example of Religious Congregations Formed in Poland in the Nineteenth/Twentieth Century
Authors: Opiela Maria Loyola 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The charism of the congregation expresses some selected and implemented aspect of the mystery of Christ and the life of the Church, and its specificity is the determinant of the identity of the institute. From it follows a specific pattern of relationship with God and with the environment, the characteristics of spirituality, various forms of the practice of the evangelical counsels, business forms and certificates of members, leading to the formation of a particular tradition. An important dimension in the formation and development of religious congregations are the socio-cultural conditions. In business meetings is visible specific aspect resulting from its own charisma, but its implementation are multiple activities forming an integral approach to the needs of people and the environment. Thanks to the dynamics of dialogue educational activities, organizational and social formed in the nineteenth/twentieth century in Poland, active congregations today continues and is still valid.
Living the Threshold. The Kairos of World Person and New Perspective for Hospitality
Authors: Almeida Gabriel Antunes Ferreira de 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Starting from the analysis of a phenomenological reading of the parable of the Good Samaritan and arriving at the idea of the World Person in Chiara Lubich, this article will discuss two topics: union in difference and the model of the neighbor in the Gospel. For Christians this is the confirmation that the meeting with the stranger is possible. Christ founded a community that co-exists with the stranger. It is within this path that the intuition the figure of the World Person in Chiara Lubich arises. In the tension between interpretation and Truth, Lubich puts the question: was there anyone that went through the trial of doubt about the Truth, but has been able to create a new world? She says that was Jesus Forsaken, who opens up the possibility of differentiation without exclusion.
Toward a Transdisciplinary Integration of the Health Disciplines: The Case of the Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Authors: Giusti Emanuele Maria 
Published: June 2018

AbstractFibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder with a multifaceted nature and its biological, psychological and social aspects are strongly interconnected. Therefore, the integration of the different health disciplines is strongly recommended for its care. There is a growing number of interventions based on this principle but each of them is heterogeneous with regards to how the included disciplines are integrated with each other. With this regards, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary programs are distinguished. The former are organized in order to treat the various aspects of the syndrome using different perspectives and their various treatment components are usually provided separately by the different care providers. Conversely, interdisciplinary treatments are planned in order to foster a dialogue between the operators by providing a joint conduction of the treatment or scheduling plenary discussions about the cases. In the field of chronic pain, some authors are suggesting to move beyond these approaches and to plan transdisciplinary treatments, which would allow the professionals to move across their disciplinary boundaries. Although no examples of these interventions have been proposed for the treatment of fibromyalgia, there is a visible trend in the literature toward more holistic forms of care.
A green determination of an equilibrium constant: teaching new skills
Authors: Bachofer Steven J. , Lingwood Mark D. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The spectroscopic determination of an equilibrium constant is a classic experiment in the general chemistry laboratory curriculum. Here we describe a new version of this experiment, incorporating green chemistry practices into the general chemistry lab curriculum and directly teaching students about the principles of green chemistry. This lab studies the formation of the iron(III) salicylate complex ion, which is a more benign chemical system than the traditional iron(III) thiocyanate complex. A microtiter plate reader is used to reduce sample volumes, also giving students important experience using research-grade instrumentation. In addition, students gain more experience using adjustable manual micropipettors. Students responded positively to the lab, appreciating the green nature of the lab and the introduction of the plate reader, and student comments suggested that this lab successfully introduces green chemistry concepts to the general chemistry curriculum.

Gehen Sanktionen mit einem höheren Stigmabewusstsein bei Arbeitslosen einher?
Authors: Gurr Thomas , Unger Stefanie , Jungbauer-Gans Monika 
Published: June 2018

AbstractDas Stigmabewusstsein Arbeitsloser ist ein bisher weitgehend unerforschtes Feld. Dieser Artikel untersucht unter Verwendung von quantitativen und qualitativen Daten (Mixed Methods) den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Erleben von Sanktionen im Vermittlungsprozess und dem Ausmaß, in dem die Betroffenen glauben, aufgrund von Arbeitslosigkeit stigmatisiert zu sein. Die quantitative Analyse zeigt, dass Sanktionen nicht mit dem Stigmabewusstsein aufgrund von Arbeitslosigkeit korrelieren. In anschließenden, komplementären Analysen von qualitativen Daten werden vier Mechanismen herausgearbeitet, die erklären können, warum erwartete signifikante Korrelationen zwischen der konkreten Sanktionierung und dem Stigmabewusstsein ausbleiben. Ein zentraler Faktor ist hier die weite Verbreitung und ständige Androhung von Sanktionen.

Abstract
Diniz, R, Del Vecchio, FB, Schaun, GZ, Oliveira, HB, Portella, EG, da Silva, ES, Formalioni, A, Campelo, PCC, Peyré-Tartaruga, LA, and Pinto, SS. Kinematic comparison of the roundhouse kick between taekwondo, karate, and muaythai. J Strength Cond Res 35(1): 198–204, 2021—The roundhouse kick (RHK) is frequently executed in taekwondo, karate, and muaythai because of its high technical effectiveness during combat. The purpose of this study was to compare kinematic characteristics during RHK performance between taekwondo, karate, and muaythai athletes. Forty-seven male athletes (25.5 ± 4.7 years, 1.75 ± 0.1 m, and 75.8 ± 11.5 kg) volunteered to participate (taekwondo: 17; karate: 15; and muaythai: 15). Self-selected distance from target, mean and peak fifth metatarsus linear velocity (LV5mean; LV5peak), mean and peak hip (HAVmean; HAVpeak) and knee (KAVmean; KAVpeak) angular velocities, as well as target linear acceleration (TLA) were analyzed with a 3D video motion analysis system. Comparisons between modalities were performed with 1-way analysis of variances and Bonferroni's post hoc test (α = 0.05). Self-selected distance was lower in muaythai compared with taekwondo and karate (p < 0.001). Also, karate had greater LV5mean compared with muaythai (p = 0.001), and muaythai showed higher HAVmean than karate (p = 0.011). In addition, HAVpeak was greater in muaythai than in taekwondo and karate (p < 0.001). No differences were found for KAVmean, KAVpeak, and TLA. Although it is similarly described between modalities, RHK showed distinct kinematic characteristics between taekwondo, karate, and muaythai. Based on these results, coaches and athletes can improve their RHK technique according to the specificities of each combat sport. Specifically, it is suggested that combat strategies should aim to increase the distance from the opponent during combat for muaythai athletes, whereas taekwondo and karate athletes should focus on decreasing it.
