Money, Love, and Fragile Reciprocity in Contemporary Havana, Cuba
Authors: Härkönen Heidi 
Published: December 2018

ResumenEntre Habaneros de bajos recursos, hombres frecuentemente dan dinero y otras formas de ayuda material a las mujeres en las cuales tienen un interés romántico. Para las mujeres esta ayuda significa que el hombre es responsable y las cuida. Los hombres, aúnque a veces compartan esta visión acerca de sus contribuciones materiales, suelen tener opiniones más ambiguas acerca de lo que esta ayuda significa. Estas tensiones reflejan las transformaciones ocurridas en la sociedad cubana desde los años 90 que han afectado, también, el concepto de la reciprocidad en las relaciones más íntimas. De esta forma, mientras el socialismo ha favorecido la igualdad de género, el período post‐soviético ha creado nuevos inequidades y marginalizaciones que amenazan concepciones socialistas de intimidad. Esta situación acentúa los efectos diferenciados por género de las transformaciones económicas en la Cuba contemporánea y su complejo enlace con las aspiraciones de amor de los individuos.

Recrystallisation behaviour of a fully austenitic Nb‐stabilised stainless steel
Authors: BARCELLINI C. , DUMBILL S. , JIMENEZ‐MELERO E. 
Published: December 2018

SummaryWe have performed an in‐depth characterisation of the microstructure evolution of 20Cr‐25Ni Nb‐stabilised austenitic stainless steel during 1 h isochronal annealing up to 1100°C using scanning electron microscopy. This steel grade is used as cladding material in Advanced Gas‐cooled fission reactors, due to its resistance to thermal creep and oxidation. The initial deformed microstructure undergoes recrystallisation via a strain‐induced boundary migration mechanism, attaining a fully recrystallised microstructure at 850°C. A number of twins are observed in the vicinity of deformation bands prior to the start of recrystallisation. New Nb(C, N) particles form gradually in the microstructure, and the particle dispersion presents a maximum volume fraction of 2.7% at 930°C. At higher temperatures, the smaller particles become unstable and gradually dissolve in the matrix. Consequently, the Zener pinning pressure exerted on the grain boundaries is progressively released, triggering the growth of the austenite grains up to an average size of ∼47 μm at 1100°C. The observed temperature window for recrystallisation and grain growth can be predicted by a unified model based primarily on the migration of high‐ and low‐angle grain boundaries.Lay DescriptionAustenitic stainless steel containing high percentage of chromium and nickel is currently used as fuel cladding material in the British Advanced Gas‐cooled Reactors (AGR). This material has been chosen because of its high resistance to thermal creep and corrosion, both enhanced by the presence of a fine dispersion of carbonitrides precipitated during the cladding thermomechanical processing. During the time spent in the reactor core, few fuel cladding elements can become susceptible to local chromium depletion at grain boundaries, which is ascribed to the time evolution of the microstructural damage caused by the neutron bombardment in the reactor core. This depletion might increase the susceptibility of this steel to intergranular corrosion attacks during medium‐to‐long term storage of spent fuel elements in water ponds. The severity of the local chromium depletion depends not only on the irradiation conditions, but also on the grain boundary geometry. We have investigated the recovery, recrystallisation and grain growth of AGR stainless steel during 1 h annealing at selected temperatures relevant for the thermomechanical processing of the steel claddings, focusing on the formation and evolution of grain boundaries and second phases. These two features play a key role in the progression of the neutron damage and the subsequent development of local chromium depletion during reactor service operations. A deep understanding of the mechanisms and conditions behind their formation during the thermomechanical processing of the cladding material and their interaction with each other constitutes the foundation to evaluate, and potentially mitigate, the effect of irradiation on the cladding material.
Stealing Deposits: Deposit Insurance, Risk‐Taking, and the Removal of Market Discipline in Early 20th‐Century Banks
Authors: CALOMIRIS CHARLES W. , JAREMSKI MATTHEW 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTDeposit insurance reduces liquidity risk but can increase insolvency risk by encouraging reckless behavior. Several U.S. states installed deposit insurance laws before the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and those laws applied only to some depository institutions within those states. These experiments present a unique testing ground for investigating the effect of deposit insurance. We show that deposit insurance removed market discipline constraining uninsured banks. Taking advantage of World War I's rise in world agricultural prices, insured banks increased their insolvency risk and competed aggressively for deposits. When prices fell after the war, the insurance systems collapsed and suffered high losses.
Community‐Based Dietician Services for People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Authors: Friedman Carli , Spassiani Natasha A. 
Published: December 2018

AbstractPeople with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) experience significantly poorer health outcomes and a shorter life expectancy when compared to the general population. People with I/DD are also more likely to become over weight or develop obesity because of poor nutrition and lack of education. Due to the health disparities that people with I/DD experience and the high prevalence of developing obesity it is important that preventive health measures, such as cost‐effective nutrition interventions and services, are readily available. The aim of this study is to explore how Medicaid Home and Community‐Based Services (HCBS) 1915(c) waivers—the largest providers of long‐term services and supports for people with I/DD—across the United States provided dietician services for people with I/DD. This study analyzed fiscal year (FY) 2015 HCBS waivers for people with I/DD from across the United States (n = 111) to determine how dietary services were provided, particularly focusing on service utilization and expenditures, including unduplicated participants, total projected spending, average spending per participant, reimbursement rates, and average annual service provision per participant. Services’ definitions were also analyzed for trends. We found that dietician services were not widely provided in HCBS waivers—less than 1% of the approximately 630,000 people with I/DD supported by HCBS waivers in FY 2015 were projected to receive dietician services. Moreover, despite being useful for health promotion, 0.01% of FY 2015 funding ($26.5 billion) was projected for dietician services. There was also a lack of consistency across states and services. People with I/DD who do not receive support services are less likely to engage in health services or health promotion activities and more likely to develop secondary conditions; for this reason, it is imperative that states utilize HCBS waivers to provide dietician services.

Authors: Rothenburg Lana , Hanzlicek Andrew S. , Payton Mark E. 
Published: December 2018

BackgroundAn in‐house Histoplasma urine antigen test for cats might be desirable in certain situations.ObjectiveTo validate and compare the diagnostic performance of a monoclonal antibody‐based IMMY urine Histoplasma antigen enzyme immunoassay (IMMY EIA) to the commercially available urine Histoplasma antigen enzyme immunoassay (MiraVista Diagnostics, MV EIA).AnimalsOne hundred ninety‐three urine samples from 105 client‐owned and purpose‐bred research cats.MethodsCats were classified as Histoplasma positive or negative based on diagnostic investigation. The IMMY EIA and MV EIA were performed on all urine samples. Correlation and agreement between the assays were determined. Diagnostic performance was determined and compared between assays.ResultsThe IMMY EIA, with a 0.25 ng/mL diagnostic cutoff, provided a diagnostic sensitivity (DSe), diagnostic specificity (DSp), and diagnostic accuracy (DAc) of 89% (95% confidence interval [CI]; 73%‐97%), 80% (67%‐89%), and 83% (74%‐90%), respectively. The IMMY EIA, with a 1.1 ng/mL diagnostic cutoff, provided a DSe, DSp, and DAc of 77% (95% CI 60%‐90%), 97% (88%‐100%), and 89% (81%‐95%), respectively. The MV EIA provided a DSe, DSp, and DAc of 94% (95% CI 81%‐99%), 97% (89%‐100%), and 96% (90%‐99%), respectively. Moderate overall agreement was found between MV EIA and IMMY EIA using the 0.25 ng/mL cut‐off (к = 0.44; 95% CI 0.31‐0.57) and the 1.1 ng/mL cut‐off (к = 0.43, 95% CI, 0.31‐0.56).Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceThe IMMY EIA might be useful as a diagnostic test for histoplasmosis in cats. Further modifications of the IMMY EIA are required to achieve the diagnostic performance of the MV EIA.
Anatomy, baseline characteristics, and procedural outcome of patent ductus arteriosus in German Shepherd dogs
Authors: Wesselowski Sonya , Saunders Ashley B. , Gordon Sonya G. 
Published: December 2018

BackgroundGerman Shepherd dogs (GSD) are predisposed to developing patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and are reportedly prone to type III (tubular) PDA anatomy. Dogs with type III anatomy are not considered favorable candidates for device‐based intervention.ObjectiveTo describe the PDA anatomy, baseline characteristics, and procedural outcome of GSD with PDA.AnimalsTwenty‐eight client‐owned GSD.MethodsRetrospective review of medical records of 28 GSD diagnosed with PDA that underwent surgical ligation or transcatheter device closure between 2007 and 2017.ResultsGerman Shepherd dogs with PDA often presented with clinical signs (50%), concurrent congenital heart disease (35.7%), and arrhythmias (29%). Dogs were typically mature at presentation (median age, 12.1 months) and evenly distributed by sex (57% female). The PDA anatomy was classified in 24 of 28 GSD, with type II anatomy being most common (21/24). Three dogs had unusual anatomy (type IV in 1, type V in 2). Median minimal ductal diameter (MDD) in this population was larger than previously reported in a mixed population and ranged between 4.4 and 4.9 mm depending upon imaging modality. Successful closure was achieved using an Amplatz canine duct occluder (ACDO) in 22 dogs or by surgical ligation in 6 dogs. No cases of type III anatomy were confirmed.Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceThe majority of GSD in this population had type II PDA anatomy that was amenable to ACDO deployment. Predisposition for large MDD and occasional, unusual PDA anatomy suggests that transesophageal echocardiography may be beneficial for optimal procedural planning in this breed.
Neural Correlates Associated With Novices Correcting Errors in Electricity and Mechanics

Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTLearning counterintuitive scientific concepts can be difficult for students because they often have misconceptions about natural phenomena that lead them to commit errors. Recent studies showed that students with advanced scientific training recruit brain regions associated with inhibitory control and memory retrieval to avoid committing errors for questions related to counterintuitive scientific concepts. However, the brain mechanisms used by novices in sciences to overcome errors are still unknown. In this study, novices in electricity and mechanics answered a scientific task in an functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner before and after having corrected their errors. Results show that rostrofrontal and parietal brain areas were more activated after correcting errors than before. These findings suggest that error‐correction mechanisms of novices, induced by presenting to learners the correct answers at the very beginning of their learning process, are associated with memory retrieval but not inhibitory control.
“A child may be tall but stunted.” Meanings attached to childhood height in Tanzania

Published: December 2018

AbstractStunting affects large numbers of under‐fives in Tanzania. But do caretakers of under‐fives recognize height as a marker of child growth? What meanings do they attach to linear growth? An ethnographic study using cultural schemas theory was conducted in a rural community in Southeastern Tanzania to investigate caregivers' conceptualizations of child height in relation to growth and the meanings attached to short stature. Data for the study were collected through 19 focus group discussions, 30 in‐depth interviews, and five key informant interviews with caregivers of under‐fives, including mothers, fathers, elderly women, and community health workers. Principles of grounded theory guided the data management and analysis. Although caregivers could recognize height increments in children and were pleased to see improvements, many held that height is not related to nutrition, health, or overall growth. They referred to short stature as a normal condition that caregivers cannot influence; that is, as a function of God's will and/or heredity. While acknowledging short stature as an indicator of stunting, most participants said it is not reliable. Other signs of childhood stunting cited by caregivers include a mature‐looking face, wrinkled skin, weak or copper‐coloured hair, abnormal shortness and thinness, delayed ability to crawl/stand/walk, stunted IQ, and frequent illness. Culturally, a child could be tall but also stunted. Traditional rather than biomedical care was used to remedy growth problems in children. Public health programmers should seek to understand the local knowledge and schemas of child stature employed by people in their own context before designing and implementing interventions.
Targeting the vascular dysfunction: Potential treatments for preeclampsia
Authors: Marshall Sarah A. , Cox Annie G. , Parry Laura J. , Wallace Euan M. 
Published: December 2018

AbstractPreeclampsia is a pregnancy‐specific disorder, primarily characterized by new‐onset hypertension in combination with a variety of other maternal or fetal signs. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the disease are still not entirely clear. Systemic maternal vascular dysfunction underlies the clinical features of preeclampsia. It is a result of oxidative stress and the actions of excessive anti‐angiogenic factors, such as soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase, soluble endoglin, and activin A, released by a dysfunctional placenta. The vascular dysfunction then leads to impaired regulation and secretion of relaxation factors and an increase in sensitivity/production of constrictors. This results in a more constricted vasculature rather than the relaxed vasodilated state associated with normal pregnancy. Currently, the only effective “treatment” for preeclampsia is delivery of the placenta and therefore the baby. Often, this means a preterm delivery to save the life of the mother, with all the attendant risks and burdens associated with fetal prematurity. To lessen this burden, there is a pressing need for more effective treatments that target the maternal vascular dysfunction that underlies the hypertension. This review details the vascular effects of key drugs undergoing clinical assessment as potential treatments for women with preeclampsia.
Transilluminated powered phlebectomy in the treatment of large area venous leg ulcers: A case‐control study with 3 years follow‐up

Published: December 2018

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy, safety and long‐term outcome of TIPP for the adjunct therapy of superficial venous reflux‐related VLUs.MethodsA total of 93 consecutive patients (104 legs) with superficial venous insufficiency‐related VLUs who underwent TIPP (53 legs) or conventional phlebectomy (51 legs) between January 2010 and December 2013 were retrospectively studied.ResultsCompared to patients in the conventional phlebectomy group, TIPP patients had larger ulcer areas before surgery (P < 0.005). However, TIPP group required a significantly shorter operation time (P < 0.005), fewer incisions (P < 0.005) but less ulcer healing time (1.25 month vs 2.5 months, P < 0.05). No significant difference in in‐hospital and follow‐up complications was found between the two groups. For long‐term outcome, TIPP group leaded a lower ulcer recurrence rate at 36 months (13.2% vs 29.4%, P < 0.05).ConclusionTIPP may be an adjunct surgical method contributes to healing of VLUs, especially for large ulcer areas.
Phenomenology as Soteriology: Husserl and the call for “Erneuerung” in the 1920s
Authors: Buckley Philip 
Published: December 2018

AbstractHegel claims famously in his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion that “Philosophy is itself, worship; it is religion.” In this essay, it is argued that such a claim could also have been uttered by Husserl – with the much expanded sense that authentic philosophy is equivalent to phenomenology. It is especially present in what might be named Husserl’s “proto‐Crisis” texts of the early 1920s. In his call for “renewal” not only of philosophy and science, but culture in general, we see this entanglement of philosophy and religion. In the first part of the essay, it is shown that Husserl’s “critique” of religious tradition is parallel to his critique of the “garbs of ideas” that forms the incomplete “rationality” of the natural sciences. In the second part, attention is given to Husserl’s more positive description of the core rationality that can be found in the religious “lifeworld,” and how this allows him to see phenomenology itself as analogous to religious life. In the conclusion, some of the positive aspects, and also some of the dangers, of Husserl’s analogy between phenomenology and religion are addressed.
A “Manual” for Escaping Our Vicious Cycles: The Political Relevance of Enemy‐Love
Authors: Schlabach Gerald W. 
Published: December 2018

AbstractIn his 2017 World Day of Peace message, Pope Francis made a subtle yet stunning move when he called the Sermon on the Mount the Church’s “manual” for peacemaking at every level. Continuing the “fresh reappraisal” of war that the Second Vatican Council launched, Francis's choice of a term associated with the “Manualist” tradition of natural‐law casuistry signaled the Catholic magisterium’s growing commitment both to rooting its teaching on peace and war in biblical sources instead, and to active nonviolence in pursuit of just peace. Given centuries of dismissal of Jesus’s teaching as irrelevant to real‐world politics by both Catholics and Protestants, reception of Francis’s signal will benefit both from fresh biblical exegesis and new insights into natural law. Informing the biblical side is the groundbreaking work by Glen Stassen on the triadic structure of Jesus’s teachings in Matthew 5‐7, and its practical implications for just peacemaking. Informing the natural‐law side are recent findings from social psychology and neuroanthropology on the role of mimesis in human formation. The two fields join in underscoring the creative power of what Stassen called transforming initiatives for breaking cycles of violence.
A new regulator of seed size control in Arabidopsis identified by a genome‐wide association study

Published: December 2018

Summary

Organ size in plants is controlled by the interaction between genotype and the environment. Seed size, an important agronomic trait, largely determines yield and is an important focus of research. However, the genetic components underpinning natural variation of seed size in undomesticated species remain largely unidentified.

Here we report a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of seed size in Arabidopsis thaliana, which identified 38 significantly associated loci, including one locus associated with CYCB1;4. Natural variations in CYCB1;4, which encodes a cyclin protein involved in the cell cycle, significantly influence seed size in A. thaliana.

Transgenic plants with enhanced CYCB1;4 expression show normal development, exhibit increased seed size as a result of an accelerated cell cycle progression, and tend to produce higher yields. By contrast, cycb1;4 mutants have smaller seeds, and the effect is especially pronounced in a large‐seed accession. The temporal and spatial expression pattern of CYCB1;4 suggests that this gene may function in both maternal tissues and zygotic tissues to coordinate the final size of seeds.

Taken together, our results provide genetic insights into natural variation in seed size in Arabidopsis. Moreover, CYCB1;4 homologs in other crops could have great potential as targets for efforts aimed at yield improvement.

SummaryUnlike in animals, sperm in flowering plants are immotile and they are embraced as passive cargoes by a pollen tube which embarks on a long journey in the pistil to deliver them to the female gametophyte for fertilization. How the pollen tube switches from a rapid polarized growth towards its target to an abrupt disintegration for sperm cell release inside the female gametophyte is puzzling. Recent studies have shown that members of the Catharanthus roseus RLK1‐like (CrRLK1L) receptor kinase family and their ligands, 5‐kDa cysteine‐rich peptide rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs), engage in an intricate balancing act involving autocrine and paracrine signaling to maintain pollen tube growth and induce timely tube rupture at the spatially confined pollen tube–female gametophyte interface. Here, we review recent progress related to pollen tube integrity control, mainly focusing on the molecular understanding of signaling as well as intracellular signaling nodes in Arabidopsis. Some missing links and future perspectives are also discussed.
