ABSTRACTObjectiveTo investigate the etiology and perinatal outcome of periviable fetal growth restriction (FGR) associated with a structural defect or genetic anomaly.MethodsThis was a retrospective study of singleton pregnancies seen at a referral fetal medicine unit between 2005 and 2018, in which FGR (defined as fetal abdominal circumference ≤ 3rd percentile for gestational age) was diagnosed between 22 + 0 and 25 + 6 weeks of gestation. The study group included pregnancies with periviable FGR associated with a genetic or structural anomaly (anomalous FGR), while the control group consisted of structurally and genetically normal pregnancies with periviable FGR (non‐anomalous FGR). Results of genetic testing, TORCH screen and postmortem examination, as well as perinatal outcome, were investigated.ResultsOf 255 pregnancies complicated by periviable FGR, 188 were eligible; of which 52 (28%) had anomalous FGR and 136 (72%) had non‐anomalous FGR. A confirmed genetic abnormality accounted for 17/52 cases (33%) of anomalous FGR, with trisomy 18 constituting over 50% (9/17; 53%). The most common structural defects associated with FGR were central nervous system abnormalities (13/35; 37%). Overall, 12 (23%) cases of anomalous FGR survived the neonatal period. No differences were found in terms of perinatal survival between pregnancies with anomalous and those with non‐anomalous FGR.ConclusionsMost pregnancies complicated by anomalous FGR were associated with a structural defect. The presence of an associated genetic defect was invariably lethal, while those with a structural defect, in the absence of a confirmed genetic abnormality, survived into infancy in over 90% of cases, with an overall one in three chance of perinatal survival. These data can be used for counseling prospective parents. Copyright © 2019 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
Kinetic energy distributions of the fragment ions from multiply ionized C2H6 as functions of the charge state of the intermediate states
Authors: Yoshida S. , Majima T. , Tsuchida H. , Saito M. 
Published: June 2019

Here, we report the kinetic energy distributions (KEDs) of the fragment ions produced from multiply ionized ethane (C2H6) molecules in single electron capture collisions with 1.2 MeV C2+. To systematically investigate the fragmentation dynamics, the KEDs were obtained as functions of the charge state of the intermediate C2H6r+* ions r transiently generated prior to fragmentation. r was determined from coincidence measurement of the fragment ions and the number of emitted electrons. The KEDs are drastically different depending on the number of broken C–H bonds. The underlying causes are explained by the variation of the relative contributions of the multiply ionized states and preferential fragmentation pathways. For instance, CHn+ fragment ions with smaller n exhibit lower KEs because they are likely to be correlated with H+ emission, which carries away a large portion of the KE release. In addition, we report the KEDs of H3+ produced from doubly and triply charged states.

AbstractGroup comparisons of individuals with psychotic disorder and controls have shown alterations in white matter microstructure. Whether white matter microstructure and network connectivity is altered in adolescents with subclinical psychotic experiences (PE) at the lowest end of the psychosis severity spectrum is less clear. DWI scan were acquired in 48 individuals with PE and 43 healthy controls (HC). Traditional tensor-derived indices: Fractional Anisotropy, Axial Diffusivity, Mean Diffusivity and Radial Diffusivity, as well as network connectivity measures (global/local efficiency and clustering coefficient) were compared between the groups. Subclinical psychopathology was assessed with the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE) and Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) questionnaires and, in order to capture momentary subclinical expression of psychosis, the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) questionnaires. Within the PE-group, interactions between subclinical (momentary) symptoms and brain regions in the model of tensor-derived indices and network connectivity measures were investigated in a hypothesis-generating fashion. Whole brain analyses showed no group differences in tensor-derived indices and network connectivity measures. In the PE-group, a higher positive symptom distress score was associated with both higher local efficiency and clustering coefficient in the right middle temporal pole. The findings indicate absence of microstructural white matter differences between emerging adults with subclinical PE and controls. In the PE-group, attenuated symptoms were positively associated with network efficiency/cohesion, which requires replication and may indicate network alterations in emerging mild psychopathology.
Culturomics and metagenomics: In understanding of environmental resistome

Published: June 2019

AbstractPharmaceutical residues, mainly antibiotics, have been called “emerging contaminants” in the environment because of their increasing frequency of detection in aquatic and terrestrial systems and their sublethal ecological effects. Most of them are undiscovered. Both human and veterinary pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics, are introduced into the environment via many different routes, including discharges from municipal wastewater treatment plants and land application of animal manure and biosolids to fertilize croplands. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the widespread problem of antibiotic resistance, modern and scientific approaches have been developed to gain knowledge of the entire antibiotic-resistant microbiota of various ecosystems, which is called the resistome. In this review, two omics methods, i.e. culturomics, a new approach, and metagenomics, used to study antibiotic resistance in environmental samples, are described. Moreover, we discuss how both omics methods have become core scientific tools to characterize microbiomes or resistomes, study natural communities and discover new microbes and new antibiotic resistance genes from environments. The combination of the method for get better outcome of both culturomics and metagenomics will significantly advance our understanding of the role of microbes and their specific properties in the environment.

AbstractThe study aimed to determine the role of autopsy in refining the antenatal diagnosis of fetal anomalies and its effect on genetic counseling. The objectives of the study were to correlate the findings of antenatal ultrasound with that of perinatal autopsy, to determine the contribution of autopsy in refining the antenatal diagnosis and whether it altered the genetic counseling. This was a prospective, non-interventional analytical study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, JIPMER with the approval of Institutional Ethics Committee. Fourty-six fetuses which were stillborn/aborted or expired in newborn period due to congenital malformations were included. The findings of antenatal ultrasound were correlated with postnatal autopsy findings. The genetic counselling based on antenatal findings were compared with that based on postnatal findings and any change in the counselling given were noted and analysed. More than 70% of anomalies among the 46 fetuses included in the study were detected by the mid trimester anomaly scan. Male predominance was seen in this study (24 male fetuses). A definitive diagnosis or documentation of anomalies by autopsy was possible in all 46 fetuses (100%). Single system anomalies were noted in 24 (52.17%) fetuses and multisystem involvement was observed in 19 (41.3%) fetuses. Among fetuses with multiple malformation syndrome, 15.8% of fetuses had probable single gene etiology, 26.3% were probably sporadic and 57.9% were unclassified. Autopsy was valuable in prenatal genetic counseling by confirming the USG findings with (5) or without additional information (30) in 35/46 (76.1%) cases and by changing the diagnosis in 11/46 (23.9%) cases. Autopsy led to refinement of the recurrence risk in 23.9% of cases (increased in 19.6% and decreased in 4.3%). From the present study, we conclude that the results demonstrate a good correlation between prenatal diagnosis by USG and post mortem diagnosis by autopsy. Prenatal ultrasound and postnatal autopsy are complementary and supplement each other. The value of autopsy in reconfirming the ultrasound finding and providing additional information is irrefutable. Though autopsy may not provide exact diagnosis or establish definitive etiology, it is an invaluable tool for genetic counseling in fetal anomalies.
Moderating effect of trait emotional intelligence on the relationship between parental nurturance and prosocial behaviour
Authors: Gallitto Elena , Leth‐Steensen Craig 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACTIntroductionResearch on the moderating role of trait emotional intelligence (EI) has typically examined this construct in light of other risk factors and their detrimental effects on adolescents' outcomes. This study aims to expand this line of research by focusing on the enhancing effect of trait EI and its moderating effects on the relationship between parental nurturance and adolescents' prosocial behaviour. According to such view, higher trait EI was expected to enhance the positive effect of parental nurturance on adolescents’ prosocial behaviour.MethodA nationally representative sample of 1850 Canadian adolescents completed self‐reported ratings of trait EI and parenting at 10–12 years of age which were related to prosocial behaviour at 14–16 years.ResultsFindings indicated that, after controlling for previous ratings of prosocial behaviour at age 10–12, child's age and sex, adolescents with high trait EI who were exposed to positive rearing experiences in early adolescence reported higher levels of prosocial behaviour two years later compared to respondents with either low or average scores on trait EI.ConclusionIn line with our prediction, these results confirm the enhancing the effects of trait EI on the relationship between parental nurturance and future development of prosocial behaviour. These findings have important implications in regard to the important role of trait EI in predicting variation of adolescents’ prosocial behaviour in response to positive parental influences.
Infidelity and Its Associated Factors: A Systematic Review

Published: June 2019

Abstract

Background
Infidelity can be facilitated and/or inhibited as a result of interrelations among multilevel contexts. Despite the existence of numerous studies about infidelity, there is no developmental model that considers multilevel contexts of factors associated with infidelity.

Aim
To review published articles addressing factors associated with infidelity and to apply the ecological model to these factors.

Methods
A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsychoInfo. Literature search was restricted to articles published in English up to June 2018. All quantitative and full-text studies that addressed associated factors with infidelity were included. This study was conducted following PRISMA guidelines.

Main Outcome Measures
This article reports a review of the literature on the factors associated with infidelity based on the ecological model.

Results
We retrieved 5,159 titles, of which 82 were qualified after the qualitative synthesis. The Ecological Couples Systems Diagram (ECSD) is proposed as a developmental model similar to Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Systems Model. There was an inconsistency between variables of microsystem and infidelity engagement. However, the results of some studies indicated the impact of demographic factors, personality traits, and sexual information on infidelity, considering partner characteristics. Variables belonging to a mesosystem had a more stable association with infidelity than those from other systems. In addition, the review reveals the complexity of infidelity, associated with following factors: 68.3% (n = 56) of the studies were based on microsystem variables, 48.8% (n = 40) used mesosystem variables, 19.5% (n = 16) used exosystem variables, 26.8% (n = 22) used macrosystem variables, 6.1% (n = 5) used chronosystem variables, and 50% (n = 41) included variables from 2 or more levels.

Clinical Implications
The ECSD can be used not only for assessing couple compatibility in premarital counseling, but also for consulting couples who want to have a long-term romantic relationship. As a potential clinical application, therapists can use the ECSD to assess unfaithful clients and their partners, improving the quality of counseling.

Strengths & Limitations
This study reveals different environmental layers of various variables related to infidelity. Determining the effect size of variables associated with infidelity was not possible due to the heterogeneity of infidelity assessment tools and test analysis.

Conclusion
Apparently, incompatibility of interpersonal characteristics is more likely associated with infidelity than incompatibility of intrapersonal characteristics. It is important to consider couple compatibility before starting an exclusive relationship, such as marriage, for individuals who intend to maintain a long-term exclusive romantic relationship.
New Zealand Caregiver Knowledge of Paediatric Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Willix-Payne Dawn , Starkey Nicola , Jones Kelly 
Published: June 2019

AbstractBackground:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common among children. However, their caregivers’ knowledge and understanding of symptoms may influence how the injury is managed.Primary objective:To investigate the knowledge of New Zealand (NZ) parents about TBI and concussion.Method and procedures:Parents (n = 205) of children aged 5–13 years completed a pen-and-paper or online survey containing questions examining their knowledge of TBI terminology, TBI symptoms and knowledge about concussion management.Main outcomes and results:A high proportion (61%) of parents did not think that a concussion was the same as a brain injury. Loss of consciousness (LOC) was the most endorsed symptom of TBI. However, 69% of participants were aware that TBI could occur without LOC. On average, parents correctly identified 19.5 (67.3%) of the 29 symptoms of TBI, but also identified 2.0 (11.9%) of the 17 distractor symptoms as being TBI related. Demographic factors and experience of TBI/concussion were associated with TBI symptom identification accuracy and concussion knowledge.Conclusions:Further education of parents is needed to ensure they recognise the signs and symptoms of concussion/mild TBI so that they can make informed decisions on how best to manage their child’s injury.
Coma Recovery Scale-Revised With and Without the Emotional Stimulation of Caregivers

Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT:The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) is the gold standard of responsiveness assessment in patients with disorder of consciousness. The purpose of this study is to search for the efficacy of the caregivers’ involvement in the evaluation of responsiveness in these patients. Responsiveness assessment was performed in 15 patients with CRS-R. The CRS-R was administered with and without the emotional stimulation of the primary caregiver at different times. Our preliminary findings seem to suggest that, including also the caregivers during CRS-R assessment, may obtain better responsiveness scoring than that obtained by professionals and might reduce the misdiagnosis rate.
Recovery of wall-shear stress to equilibrium flow conditions after a rough-to-smooth step change in turbulent boundary layers

Published: June 2019

This paper examines the recovery of the wall-shear stress of a turbulent boundary layer that has undergone a sudden transition from a rough to a smooth surface. Early work of Antonia & Luxton (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 53, 1972, pp. 737–757) questioned the reliability of standard smooth-wall methods for measuring wall-shear stress in such conditions, and subsequent studies show significant disagreement depending on the approach used to determine the wall-shear stress downstream. Here we address this by utilising a collection of experimental databases at $Re_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}\approx 4100$ that have access to both ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’ measures of the wall-shear stress to understand the recovery to equilibrium conditions of the new surface. Our results reveal that the viscous region ($z^{+}\lesssim 4$) recovers almost immediately to an equilibrium state with the new wall conditions; however, the buffer region and beyond takes several boundary layer thicknesses before recovering to equilibrium conditions, which is longer than previously thought. A unique direct numerical simulation database of a wall-bounded flow with a rough-to-smooth wall transition is employed to confirm these findings. In doing so, we present evidence that any estimate of the wall-shear stress from the mean velocity profile in the buffer region or further away from the wall tends to underestimate its magnitude in the near vicinity of the rough-to-smooth transition, and this is likely to be partly responsible for the large scatter of recovery lengths to equilibrium conditions reported in the literature. Our results also reveal that smaller energetic scales in the near-wall region recover to an equilibrium state associated with the new wall conditions within one boundary layer thickness downstream of the transition, while larger energetic scales exhibit an over-energised state for several boundary layer thicknesses downstream of the transition. Based on these observations, an alternative approach to estimating the wall-shear stress from the premultiplied energy spectrum is proposed.

We give a modified translation and prove its correctness, and provide implementations of both translations to allow others to test our results.
THE IMPLICITLY CONSTRUCTIBLE UNIVERSE

Published: June 2019

AbstractWe answer several questions posed by Hamkins and Leahy concerning the implicitly constructible universe Imp, which they introduced in [5]. Specifically, we show that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that $$Imp = \neg {\rm{CH}}$$, that $Imp \ne {\rm{HOD}}$, and that $$Imp \models V \ne Imp$$, or in other words, that $\left( {Imp} \right)^{Imp} \ne Imp$.
Repressed productive potential and revolt: insights from an insurgency in Burundi
Authors: Samii Cyrus , West Emily A. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThe relationship between participation in revolt and individuals' economic conditions is among the most debated in political science. While conventional economic theory suggests that those who face the poorest economic prospects are most inclined to fight, extant evidence is decidedly mixed. We address this puzzling variation by analyzing the interplay between macro-structural conditions and individuals' micro-level circumstances. Under conditions of severe group repression, we show how a “glass-ceiling” logic may operate: among the repressed group, those with relatively high productive potential may be most motivated to revolt. We test this with in-depth analysis of participation in the 1993–2003 Burundian insurgency. The data are consistent with numerous implications of the glass-ceiling logic and inconsistent with extant alternative explanations.
Radiocarbon Dating of the Transition from the Early to the Middle Bronze Age in Northeastern Syria
Authors: Koliński Rafał , Goslar Tomasz 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACTThe paper presents radiocarbon (14C) dates of samples collected from the Bronze Age cultural strata (VI–II) excavated within Sector P, Tell Arbid, Khabur Triangle, northern Mesopotamia. These strata contain objects (remains of a caravanserai, pits, graves, pottery kilns, and multi-phase houses) representing the periods of Early Jezirah 4-5, and Old Jezirah I-II. 14C dating of these strata was especially important because of a clearly visible period of abandonment of the area at the onset of 2nd millennium BC, recorded on all Khabur Triangle sites studied so far, and because of the questionable reliability of the chronology derived from scarce historical sources. Of the 29 samples of cereal grains, 9 appeared to contain residual material, while Bayesian-analyzed 14C ages of the remaining 20 allowed us to say that, at the turn of the 3rd millennium BC, Tell Arbid was abandoned later than other sites in the area, and that it was occupied over a distinctly longer period during the early 2nd millennium.
An Enquiry into the Methods and General Principles to be adopted in calculating the Rates of Contribution, or Percentage Deductions from Salary, in the case of Superannuation Funds and Pension Funds generally
Authors: McGowan James 
Published: June 2019

A striking indication of the little interest taken by the actuarial profession generally in the subject of Pension Funds is shown by the fact that in the many published volumes of the Journal of the Institute, hardly any information is to be found with reference to such Funds.This lack of interest in Pension Funds was noticed some time ago by Mr. Ryan (page 470, vol. xxxi, of the Journal), who remarked that “ it was a very curious thing that the important “ question of the valuation of Widows Funds had on no occasion “ been treated by contributors to the proceedings of the Institute. “ In Dr. Sprague's 20-volume Index there was absolutely no “ reference to the question of Widows’ Funds. … He might “ add that the Index to the Journal contained no entry relating “ to superannuation schemes, which was again a matter of great “ public importance.’
On Life Insurance Legislation in Denmark
Authors: Thiele T. N. 
Published: June 2019

Life insurance in Denmark has certain peculiarities, which may be interesting perhaps also to foreign actuaries.In 1871 the Danish Government thought to satisfy all the life insurance necessities of the country by establishing by law, and with the full guarantee of the State, one single institution, “Statsanstalten for Livsforsikring.” By this all legislation with respect to private life insurance was supposed to be rendered superfluous.
