Published: May 2019

A total of 270 Pekin ducks were reared for 49 d to determine the effect of feeding a diluted complete commercial wheat grain diet on live weight, feed intake and conversion, carcass, leg bone, and digestive system traits. Different feeding regimes had a significant effect on the body weight of the ducks aged 35 d and the feed conversion ratio in the period between days 22 and 35 of rearing. Dilution of a complete commercial diet with whole wheat grain had no significant influence on the final live weight (day 49), feed intake, and feed conversion ratio during the entire rearing period. Ducks fed a diet with whole wheat grain had a significantly higher dressing percentage after higher percentage of pectoral muscles, skin with subcutaneous fat, abdominal fat, as well as a significantly lower percentage of carcass remainders at the age of 49 d. Dilution of a complete commercial diet with whole wheat grain had no impact on the length of the respective intestinal sections nor on the weight and percentage share of gizzard, liver, heart, and spleen. However, it significantly lowered the fracture strength of the tibiotarsus, and decreased some dimensions of the femur and tibiotarsus.
Motor cost affects the decision of when to shift gaze for guiding movement
Authors: Domínguez-Zamora F. Javier , Marigold Daniel S. 
Published: May 2019

Frequent gait modifications are often required to navigate our world. These can involve long or wide steps or changes in direction. People generally prefer to minimize the motor cost (or effort) of a movement, although with changes in gait this is not always possible. The decision of when and where to shift gaze is critical for controlling motor actions, since vision informs the brain about the available choices for movement—in this case, where to step. Here we asked how motor cost influences the allocation of gaze. To address this, we had participants walk and step to the center of sequential targets on the ground. We manipulated the motor cost associated with controlling foot placement by varying the location of one target in the lateral direction on a trial-to-trial basis within environments with different numbers of targets. Costlier steps caused a switch from a gaze strategy of planning future steps to one favoring visual feedback of the current foot placement when participants had to negotiate another target immediately after. Specifically, costlier steps delayed gaze shifts away from the manipulated target. We show that this relates to the cost of moving the leg and redirecting the body’s center of mass from target to target. Overall, our results suggest that temporal gaze decisions are affected by motor costs associated with step-to-step demands of the environment. Moreover, they provide insight into what affects the coordination between the eyes and feet for the control of stable and accurate foot placement while walking. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Changes in gait allow us to navigate our world. For instance, one may step long or wide to avoid a spilled drink. The brain can direct gaze to gather relevant information for making these types of motor decisions; however, the factors affecting gaze allocation in natural behaviors are poorly understood. We show how the motor cost associated with a step influences the decision of when to redirect gaze to ensure accurate foot placement while walking.

Published: May 2019

Background

The association of antidepressant medication type with the risk of cardiovascular disease (
CVD
) is unclear. We hypothesized that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (
SSRI
s) are associated with lower risks of
CVD
events relative to tricyclics and other non‐
SSRI
antidepressants.

Methods and Results

We studied 2027 participants from the
ARIC
(Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study (mean age 63±10 years; 29% men; 78% white) treated with antidepressants at some time between 1987 and 2013. Antidepressant usage was confirmed by participants bringing pill bottles to study visits.
CVD
events in the study sample were identified, including atrial fibrillation, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. Hazard ratios were used to compare
CVD
events adjusted for sociodemographic and clinical risk factors in
SSRI
s users (47%) versus non‐
SSRI
users. Participants were followed from antidepressant initiation up to 2016 for a median of 13.5 years. We identified 332 atrial fibrillation, 365 heart failure, 174 myocardial infarction and 119 ischemic stroke events.
CVD
risk was similar for
SSRI
s and non‐
SSRI
antidepressant users (hazard ratio, 1.10; 95%
CI
, 0.86–1.41 for atrial fibrillation; hazard ratio, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.77–1.25 for heart failure; hazard ratio, 0.91; 95%
CI
, 0.64–1.29 for myocardial infarction; and hazard ratio, 1.07; 95%
CI
, 0.70–1.63 for ischemic stroke).

Conclusions

SSRI
use was not associated with reduced risk of incident
CVD
compared with non‐
SSRI
antidepressant use. These results do not provide evidence supporting the use of
SSRI
s compared with tricyclics and other non‐
SSRI
antidepressants in relation to
CVD
risk.
“Wherever You Are”: Near Eastern Influence and Indo-European Heritage in Greek and Hittite Prayer
Authors: Macedo José Marcos 
Published: May 2019

AbstractIn a few Greek and Hittite prayers, the call for the deity to come or to listen goes together with a catalogue of places under his power, formulated in a similar way: “whether you are in A or in B or in C.” Near Eastern influence, as has been suggested, may be discarded, for there are striking parallels in Avestan and Rig Vedic documents with the same phraseology. Regarding this diction in particular, and owing to the absence of clear comparanda drawn from Near Eastern sources, it is not unreasonable to say that a common Indo-European origin is the right explanation. This contradicts the view that Hittite prayers show no trace of Indo-European phrasing, and reveals a fourfold poetical isogloss linking Greek, Hittite, Vedic, and Avestan. Moreover, it suggests the need for further studies in order to ascertain what in them may be certainly taken as deriving from the influence of neighboring peoples, what can be regarded as an innovation, and what is inherited from Indo-European times.
Priscian on Perception
Authors: Kalderon Mark Eli 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
An aporia posed by Theophrastus prompts Priscian to describe the process by which perception formally assimilates to its object as a progressive perfection. I present an interpretation of Priscian’s account of perception’s progressive perfection, and I consider a dilemma for the general class of accounts to which Priscian’s belongs based on related problems raised by Plotinus and Aquinas. Doing so reveals the explanatory structure of Priscian’s account and the limitations of the general class of accounts to which Priscian’s belongs.
Air as Noēsis and Soul in Diogenes of Apollonia
Authors: Pinto Rhodes 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This article examines Diogenes of Apollonia’s doctrines of intellection (νόησις) and soul in relation to his material principle, air. It argues that for Diogenes both intellection and soul are not, as commonly thought, some sort of air (namely, warm air), even though both intellection and soul are to be understood in terms of air and the system of τρόποι of air that he has set up. These new interpretations of intellection and soul yield insight into Diogenes’ claims about the ordering activity of air as intellection and a renewed appreciation for his material monism.
Global Insurgencies since 1968
Authors: Katsiaficas George 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
In my view, the global movement’s capacity for synchronous international coordination after 1968 has grown by leaps and bounds. Each wave builds upon its predecessors: from the disarmament movement of the early 1980s, to the wave of Asian uprisings from 1986-1992, Eastern European insurgencies, the alterglobalization wave from the Zapatistas to Seattle, and most recently in the concurrent Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, Indignados, and Greek anarchists, history becomes increasingly endowed with direct action by self-conscious human beings. Our collective intelligence is becoming an ever-more powerful material force. Recent global waves have focused on transformation of the world economic system, not simply on opposing its weapons, wars, debt crises, and ecological devastation. Today there are more people consciously opposed to international capitalism than ever before in history, a potential for action that has yet to be fully realized.
Water is Life at Standing Rock: A Case of First World Resistance to Global Capitalism
Authors: López Edwin 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This article contends the Dakota Access Pipeline is an infrastructure that transcends national capitalist interests for global ones. Attention is paid to how state apparatuses engage these interests with neoliberal policies. It is also argued that this process and the resulting dispossession are racialized and engender resistance. Furthermore, this article proposes a rethinking of the state to better understand how race is key to capitalist globalization.

Notes on the Invention of the First Gun: Conflict and Innovation in the Song Warring States Period (960-1279)
Authors: Sinvany Benjamin Avichai Katz 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The invention of gunpowder and its first military applications during the Song Warring States period (960-1279) led directly to the invention of the first gun sometime in the thirteenth century. Intense interstate conflict during this period encouraged the Song and its neighbors to experiment with new weapons, as seen by the publication of the Song military text Wujing zongyao in 1044 AD at the end of the Sino-Tangut wars (1040-1045). For the duration of the Song period, aggressive neighbors such as the Khitan Liao (916-1125), the Tangut Xia (1038-1227), the Jurchen Jin (1115-1234), and the Mongols (1190s-1368) shaped Song borders and early gunpowder experimentation. This article uses a geographic information system to examine resource distribution in conjunction with an analysis of the rate of conflict in the East Asian region during the Song Warring States period.
Gender in the Iranian Constitution
Authors: Amirpur Katajun 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
My aim in this paper is to show that the Iranian constitution, with respect to women’s rights, is vague and ambiguous. If one only looks at the text of the constitution and its current interpretation, both cannot be considered as guaranteeing women’s rights in the sense of modern human rights. But one can still ask the question: Could it not be the case that this arbitrary character of the constitution can be exploited? This is where the actual role of the people comes in, which is not the topic of this paper but its most important context.
The Machine in the Colony: Technology, Politics, and the Typography of Devanagari in the Early Years of Mechanization
Authors: Singh Vaibhav 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The decades of the 1930s and 40s, in which India’s struggle against British rule gained momentum, also ushered in critical technological change in the way texts in many Indian languages were materially produced and represented in print. The foremost facilitators of this change were third parties precariously placed in the colonial equation. Focusing on the dilemmas and contradictions of one such concern, the New York-based Mergenthaler Linotype Company and its program for the Devanagari script, this essay examines the mechanics of the power struggle embodied in the process of technological and typographical change. Against the backdrop of India’s independence movement, in deeply contested territories of language and script, the examination of typographical networks that formulated and realized this project throws new light on the richly ambivalent ideological negotiations involved—between popular and academic aspirations, altruistic and commercial enterprises, communal agendas and nationalist politics, and between imperial administration and colonial subjects.
A replacement genus-group name in Buprestidae (Coleoptera)
Authors: BELLAMY C. L. 
Published: May 2019

With the subsequent designation of a type species, the genus-group name Paracylindromorphus (Neomorphus) Cobos, 1953 became available as Neomorphus Bellamy, 1992. I was unaware, until recently informed by Dr. Huseyin Özdikmen, that this genus-group name is preoccupied by the valid bird genus Neomorphus Gloger, 1827 (Aves: Cuculiformes: Cuculidae) (fide Neave, 1939). Therefore I propose the replacement name Duncanius to honor my friend and colleague Duncan MacFadyen, the manager of Research & Conservation for the Oppenheimer company, Johannesburg, in recognition of the recent successful completion of his Master’s degree and in remembrance of our joint field trips in South Africa from 1995-2000.

Published: May 2019

AbstractPatterns of energy and available moisture can vary over small (<1 km) distances in mountainous terrain. Information on fuel and soil moisture conditions that resolves this variation could help to inform fire and drought management decisions. Here, we describe the development of TOPOFIRE, a web-based mapping system designed to provide finely resolved information on soil water balance, drought, and wildfire danger information for the contiguous United States. We developed 8-arc-second-resolution (~250 meter) daily historical, near real-time, and 4-day forecast radiation, temperature, humidity, and snow water equivalent data and used these grids to calculate a suite of drought and wildfire danger indices. Large differences in shortwave radiation and surface air temperature with aspect contribute to greater snow accumulation and delays in melt timing on north-facing slopes, delaying fuel conditioning on shaded slopes. These datasets will help advance our understanding of the role of topography in wildland fire spread and ecological effects. Integration with national programs like the Wildland Fire Assessment System, the Wildland Fire Decision Support System, and drought early warning systems could support more proactive management of wildland fires and refine the characterization of drought in mountainous regions of the United States.
The Atmospheric Response to Positive IPV, Positive AMV, and Their Combination in Boreal Winter

Published: May 2019

AbstractThe interdecadal Pacific oscillation (hereafter termed IPV, using “variability” in lieu of “oscillation”) and the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (hereafter AMV, similar to IPV) are regulators of global mean temperature, large-scale atmospheric circulation, regional temperature and precipitation, and related extreme events. Despite a growing recognition of their importance, the combined influence of these modes of low-frequency sea surface temperature (SST) variability remains elusive given the short instrumental record and the difficulty of coupled climate models to simulate them satisfactorily. In this study, idealized simulations with two atmospheric global climate models (AGCMs) are used to show a partial cancellation of the North Pacific atmospheric response to positive IPV (i.e., deeper Aleutian low) by the concurrent positive phase of the AMV. This effect arises from a modulation of the interbasin Walker circulation that weakens deep convection in the western Pacific and the associated Rossby wave train into the northern extratropics. The weaker Aleutian low response is associated with less upward wave activity flux in the North Pacific; however, the associated stratospheric jet weakening is similar to when the +IPV alone forces the vortex, as additional upward wave activity flux over Siberia makes up the difference. While comparable warming of the polar stratosphere is found when the positive AMV is included with the positive IPV, the downward propagation of the stratospheric response is significantly reduced, which has implications for the associated surface temperature extremes. The robust anticorrelation between the positive IPV and positive AMV signals over the North Pacific and their lack of additivity highlight the need to consider the IPV–AMV interplay for anticipating decadal changes in mean climate and extreme events in the Northern Hemisphere.
Future Change in Tropical Cyclone Activity over the Western North Pacific in CORDEX-East Asia Multi-RCMs Forced by HadGEM2-AO

Published: May 2019

AbstractFuture changes in tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the western North Pacific (WNP) are analyzed using four regional climate models (RCMs) within the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) for East Asia. All RCMs are forced by the HadGEM2-AO under the historical and representative concentration pathway (RCP) 8.5 scenarios, and are performed at about 50-km resolution over the CORDEX-East Asia domain. In the historical simulations (1980–2005), multi-RCM ensembles yield realistic climatology for TC tracks and genesis frequency during the TC season (June–November), although they show somewhat systematic biases in simulating TC activity. The future (2024–49) projections indicate an insignificant increase in the total number of TC genesis (+5%), but a significant increase in track density over East Asia coastal regions (+17%). The enhanced TC activity over the East Asia coastal regions is mainly related to vertical wind shear weakened by reduced meridional temperature gradient and increased sea surface temperature (SST) at midlatitudes. The future accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) of total TCs increases significantly (+19%) because individual TCs have a longer lifetime (+6.6%) and stronger maximum wind speed (+4.1%) compared to those in the historical run. In particular, the ACE of TCs passing through 25°N increases by 45.9% in the future climate, indicating that the destructiveness of TCs can be significantly enhanced in the midlatitudes despite the total number of TCs not changing greatly.
Diversity of the Wintertime Arctic Oscillation Pattern among CMIP5 Models: Role of the Stratospheric Polar Vortex

Published: May 2019

AbstractThe wintertime Arctic Oscillation (AO) pattern in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) climate models displays notable differences from the reanalysis. The North Pacific center of the AO pattern is larger in the ensemble mean of 27 models than in the reanalysis, and the magnitude of the North Pacific center of the AO pattern varies largely among the models. This study investigates the plausible sources of the diversity of the AO pattern in the models. Analysis indicates that the amplitude of the North Pacific center is associated with the coupling between the North Pacific and North Atlantic, which in turn is primarily modulated by the strength of the stratospheric polar vortex. A comparative analysis is conducted for the strong polar vortex (SPV) and weak polar vortex (WPV) models. It reveals that a stronger stratospheric polar vortex induces more planetary waves to reflect from the North Pacific to the North Atlantic and more wave activity fluxes to propagate from the North Pacific to the North Atlantic in the SPV models than in the WPV models. Thus, the coupling of atmospheric circulation between the North Pacific and North Atlantic is stronger in the SPV models, which facilitates more North Pacific variability to be involved in the AO variability and induces a stronger North Pacific center in the AO pattern. The increase in vertical resolution may improve the simulation of the stratospheric polar vortex and thereby reduces the model biases in the North Pacific–North Atlantic coupling and thereby the amplitude of the North Pacific center of the AO pattern in models.
Provider Perspectives on Facilitators and Barriers to Accessible Service Provision for Immigrant Women With Postpartum Depression: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Ganann R. , Sword W. , Newbold K.B. , Thabane L. , Armour L. , Kint B. 
Published: May 2019

Background Immigrant women are at greater risk for postpartum depression than native-born women and face multiple barriers to accessing services. Service providers themselves face challenges in delivering accessible care for immigrant women with postpartum depression. Purpose This research explored provider perspectives on facilitators and barriers providers faced in terms of providing accessible services. Methods The study used an interpretive descriptive design, shaped by an integrated knowledge user–researcher partnership. Fourteen health and social service providers participated in individual in-depth interviews. Using a socioecological framework as an organizing structure, an inductive thematic content analysis was conducted. Results Providers identified attributes that foster relationship building, including building trust, addressing power dynamics, understanding women’s experiences, enacting cultural competence, involving family members, providing adequate time, and facilitating system navigation. Organizational features shaping accessibility included assessment and treatment approaches, wait times, gate keeping, and the ability to address social health determinants. Different organizational approaches could facilitate or discourage service coordination across organizations. Finally, providers believed that health and immigration system mechanisms could work more effectively for optimal postpartum depression support. Conclusion Health service providers are critical in supporting immigrant women with postpartum depression and facilitating service accessibility. Organizational and system gaps restrict optimal postpartum depression service provision and integration.
