Historicizing North Korea: State Socialism, Population Mobility, and Cold War Historiography
Authors: Schmid Andre 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The Cold War is far from over on the Korean Peninsula. Korean history—especially for the northern half—remains deeply shaped by the legacies of transnational anti-communism even as historians who study socialism in other settings have shed many of the Cold War–era assumptions about the extensive power of the state. By putting North Korea in a comparative perspective with other socialist countries such as the USSR, the People’s Republic of China, and the German Democratic Republic, this article suggests ways of integrating the constitutive power of social forces beyond the state into our histories of North Korea, as seen through an examination of population movement. Beginning with the dissolution of the Japanese Empire, the mobility of people has always been a politicized issue between the two Koreas. Historians have taken up this issue, yet dependence on sources produced by the North Korean state has led many narratives—however harshly critical of the regime—to reproduce within their own analytical frameworks key assumptions originally produced in Pyongyang in support of the personality cult. The result has been a cartoonish depiction of the North Korean state. By using a diverse set of public media as sources, this article shows that due to conflicting interests of migrants, factory managers, and central economic planners, many North Koreans moved into the cities despite administrative injunctions and the admonishments of Kim Ilsung. Asking questions about the limits of the state, rather than assuming its totalitarian capacity, becomes one way of escaping the historiographical legacies of the Cold War even as the politics of division continue to rage on the peninsula.
Thinking the Nation
Authors: Bergholz Max 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
In “Thinking the Nation,” Max Bergholz offers a reappraisal of Benedict Anderson’s seminal 1983 book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. He does so through the telling of a set of interconnected stories. The first is the story of Anderson himself—who he was as a scholar and how the world in which he lived shaped his unique approach to nationalism. The second is the story of the reaction to his book in the immediate aftermath of its publication, and the subsequent ways in which historians derived inspiration from this work. The third and final story concerns the lasting contribution of Imagined Communities. The telling of these stories suggests that the continuing relevance of Anderson’s book seems to be not its specific historical explanation of the origin and spread of nationalism, but rather how it reorients its readers’ analytical gaze away from focusing largely on ideology, elites, and socioeconomic change, and toward cognitive processes of nationalism. In so doing, Anderson provides those seeking to tell histories of nationalism with a new conceptual vocabulary to excavate and explain human agency, and specifically the role of the imagination, in the making of nationalism into a real political force.
NMRNet: a deep learning approach to automated peak picking of protein NMR spectra
Authors: Klukowski Piotr , Augoff Michał , Zięba Maciej , Drwal Maciej , Gonczarek Adam , Walczak Michał J 
Published: March 2018

Abstract

Motivation
Automated selection of signals in protein NMR spectra, known as peak picking, has been studied for over 20 years, nevertheless existing peak picking methods are still largely deficient. Accurate and precise automated peak picking would accelerate the structure calculation, and analysis of dynamics and interactions of macromolecules. Recent advancement in handling big data, together with an outburst of machine learning techniques, offer an opportunity to tackle the peak picking problem substantially faster than manual picking and on par with human accuracy. In particular, deep learning has proven to systematically achieve human-level performance in various recognition tasks, and thus emerges as an ideal tool to address automated identification of NMR signals.

Results
We have applied a convolutional neural network for visual analysis of multidimensional NMR spectra. A comprehensive test on 31 manually annotated spectra has demonstrated top-tier average precision (AP) of 0.9596, 0.9058 and 0.8271 for backbone, side-chain and NOESY spectra, respectively. Furthermore, a combination of extracted peak lists with automated assignment routine, FLYA, outperformed other methods, including the manual one, and led to correct resonance assignment at the levels of 90.40%, 89.90% and 90.20% for three benchmark proteins.

Abstract

Motivation
Many Gram-negative bacteria use type VI secretion systems (T6SS) to export effector proteins into adjacent target cells. These secreted effectors (T6SEs) play vital roles in the competitive survival in bacterial populations, as well as pathogenesis of bacteria. Although various computational analyses have been previously applied to identify effectors secreted by certain bacterial species, there is no universal method available to accurately predict T6SS effector proteins from the growing tide of bacterial genome sequence data.

Results
We extracted a wide range of features from T6SE protein sequences and comprehensively analyzed the prediction performance of these features through unsupervised and supervised learning. By integrating these features, we subsequently developed a two-layer SVM-based ensemble model with fine-grain optimized parameters, to identify potential T6SEs. We further validated the predictive model using an independent dataset, which showed that the proposed model achieved an impressive performance in terms of ACC (0.943), F-value (0.946), MCC (0.892) and AUC (0.976). To demonstrate applicability, we employed this method to correctly identify two very recently validated T6SE proteins, which represent challenging prediction targets because they significantly differed from previously known T6SEs in terms of their sequence similarity and cellular function. Furthermore, a genome-wide prediction across 12 bacterial species, involving in total 54 212 protein sequences, was carried out to distinguish 94 putative T6SE candidates. We envisage both this information and our publicly accessible web server will facilitate future discoveries of novel T6SEs.

Controllability of semilinear impulsive control systems with multiple time delays in control
Authors: Muni Vijayakumar S , George Raju K 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
In this article, we study the controllability of finite-dimensional dynamical control systems modelled by semilinear impulsive ordinary differential equations with multiple constant time delays in the control function. Initially, we recall a necessary and sufficient condition for the controllability of the corresponding linear system without impulses, with multiple constant time delays in the control function in terms of a matrix rank condition. Then under some sufficient conditions, we show that the actual system is also controllable for certain classes of non-linearities and impulse functions. We employ Schauder fixed-point theorem and Banach contraction mapping principle to establish the results. Our obtained results are applicable for both autonomous and non-autonomous systems. An example is given to illustrate the theoretical results.
The First Four Years of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences Graduate School of Nursing
Authors: Levine Eugene , Monaqhan W. Patrick 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The Graduate School of Nursing (GSN) was established at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in 1993 to prepare advanced practice nurses, namely family nurse practitioners (FNPs) and nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), for the uniformed services. A study of needs for nurses in the uniformed services in these specialties indicated that by the year 2000 there would be a need requiring a total enrollment in educational programs of 268 CRNAs and 100 FNPs over a 5-year period. Offering the master of science in nursing degree, the GSN has enrolled 61 students in its two programs, and by the end of the 1997 academic year, it will have graduated 19 FNPs and 19 CRNAs. The GSN was authorized by the Department of Defense, Office of Health Affairs, in February 1996. Federal nursing chiefs serve as advisors to the GSN. The GSN received full accreditation from the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs in 1994 and from the National League for Nursing in December 1996. All students who have graduated have successfully passed their certification examinations. Supplementing other educational resources, the GSN is helping to meet the educational needs of the uniformed nursing services by introducing pilot programs specifically designed to meet these needs.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
Objective: Evaluation of the psychological state of a group of 119 Croatian disabled war veterans who suffered grave traumatic war experiences during the war in Croatia (1991–1992). Methods: Semistructured Clinical Interview, Profile Index Emotions test, and Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale were used to assess disabled war veterans accommodated in special institutions for rehabilitation. Results: Changes in psychological functioning were established in 63.8% of disabled war veterans, the most frequent among them being indisposition, irritability, anxiety, and fear. In nearly half of the veterans there were changes in their relationships with close persons, difficulties in accepting the reality of their situations, and increased aggressiveness. Higher average values on the depression index (0.52) were also established. Conclusion: The established change in the psychological profile of disabled Croatian war veterans was lower than expected. However, because of their great vulnerability, it is necessary to increase efforts to secure their complete psychosocial recovery.

Abstract
We present a measurement of the anisotropic and isotropic Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 14 quasar sample with optimal redshift weights. Applying the redshift weights improves the constraint on the BAO dilation parameter α(zeff) by 17 per cent. We reconstruct the evolution history of the BAO distance indicators in the redshift range of 0.8 &lt; z &lt; 2.2. This paper is part of a set that analyses the eBOSS DR14 quasar sample.
Similarity solutions of time-dependent relativistic radiation-hydrodynamical plane-parallel flows
Authors: Fukue Jun 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Similarity solutions are examined for the frequency-integrated relativistic radiation-hydrodynamical flows, which are described by the comoving quantities. The flows are vertical plane-parallel time-dependent ones with a gray opacity coefficient. For adequate boundary conditions, the flows are accelerated in a somewhat homologous manner, but terminate at some singular locus, which originates from the pathological behavior in relativistic radiation moment equations truncated in finite orders.
Fear-avoidance and Pelvic Floor Muscle Function are Associated With Pain Intensity in Women With Vulvodynia
Authors: Benoit-Piau Justine , Bergeron Sophie , Brassard Audrey , Dumoulin Chantale , Khalifé Samir , Waddell Guy , Morin Mélanie 
Published: March 2018

Objective:
To investigate the association between fear-avoidance variables, pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, pain intensity in women with provoked vestibulodynia (PVD), as well as the moderator effect of partner support.

Materials and Methods:
A sample of 173 women diagnosed with PVD participated in the study. Fear-avoidance variables were assessed with validated self-administered questionnaires: pain catastrophizing (Pain Catastrophizing Scale), pain-related fear (Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale), and partner support (Partner Support Questionnaire). Pain intensity was evaluated using a numerical rating scale. PFM function, including maximal strength, speed of contraction, flexibility, and muscle tone, was evaluated with a dynamometric speculum.

Results:
Pain catastrophizing was significantly associated with pain intensity (β=0.310, P<0.001), partner support (β=0.194, P=0.004), and PFM flexibility (β=−0.255, P<0.001). Fear-avoidance, PFM variables, and partner support explained 28.3% of the variance in pain during intercourse (P<0.001). The addition of PFM was of particular interest as it explained a significant addition of 9% of the variance in pain intensity. Partner support was found to moderate the association between pain intensity and catastrophizing. Among women with high partner support, catastrophizing was not significantly related to pain (b=0.150, P=0.142). When partner support was low, catastrophizing was significantly related to pain (b=0.068, P<0.001).

Discussion:
Findings of this study support that the symptomatology of PVD can be explained partly by fear-avoidance variables and PFM function. This study supports the significant role of PFM function and its importance in the pathophysiology of PVD. It also sheds light on the role of partner support and its moderating effect on pain catastrophizing.
Arthroscopy assisted fixation of posterior malleolar fractures: case series for novel approach
Authors: Diab Hossam S. 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Posterior malleolar fractures are not uncommon ankle injuries. Despite their biomechanical significance for syndesmotic stability and stress distribution, there is no consensus about which fractures to treat surgically. The purpose of this study was to evaluate arthroscopic guided fixation of posterior malleolar fractures. This technique is hypothesized to provide visualized optimal reduction in a minimally invasive manner.

Methods:
Twelve consecutive ankle injuries with posterior malleolar fracture were treated and enrolled in this prospective study. The standard procedure included posterior ankle arthroscopic guided reduction and cannulated screw fixation of the posterior malleolus. Patients were evaluated using the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and Ankle-Hindfoot scale. A composite questionnaire, including the EQ-5D and visual analog scales (VAS) for pain and satisfaction was accomplished.

Results:
Postoperatively, all radiographs showed good reduction of the posterior malleolus and an even joint, with a mean tibiofibular clear space of 4.2 mm. All patients had returned to their preinjury activity levels at their final follow-up. The mean FAOS score for patients included in the study was 92.46, and the mean Ankle-Hindfoot score was 92.0. Adequate range of motion was achieved in relation to the contralateral ankle, with insignificant comparative chi-square statistic at a P-value of 0.99, and overall satisfaction scale of 9.42.

Conclusions:
Arthroscopic guided fixation of the posterior malleolar fracture is an effective treatment modality that achieves direct reduction of the fracture, faster rehabilitation, and has a lower risk of neurovascular complications.
Femoral nerve injury after transfemoral catheterization and total hip arthroplasty
Authors: Pritchett James W. 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Nerve injury after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a recognized complication and is included in informed consent. Ninety-five percent of femoral artery catheterizations (FACs) utilize a right-side approach, and scar can develop around the femoral nerve. The effect of prior FAC on femoral nerve injury during THA has not been investigated previously.

Methods:
The Medicare database was searched for patients who had primary THA after FAC between 2005 - 2015 (study group). Patients who underwent bilateral THA without prior FAC served as the control group. Proprietary software was used to query the database according to the International Classification of Diseases procedural and diagnostic codes and Common Procedural Technology Codes for primary THA and FAC. Chi-square testing was used to determine significance (P<0.05).

Results:
There were 62,016 patients in the study group and 441,013 patients in the control group. The left femoral nerve injury rate in the control group was 0.55% and 0.51% in the study group. The right femoral nerve injury rate in the control group was 0.53% and 1.55% in the study group (P<0.0001). This complication was not coded in the hospital record of 54% of patients. Greater and more complex secondary procedures were performed to treat the nerve injury in the study group (P<0.001), indicating a more severe injury.

Conclusions:
Patients with prior right FAC have significantly more severe right femoral nerve injuries during THA. Awareness of this risk may improve dialogue with and treatment of patients.
Safety of dorsolateral talonavicular joint fixation in modified double arthrodesis: an anatomic study
Authors: Atwater Lara C. , Aynardi Michael C. , Melvani Roshan , Schon Lew C. , Miller Stuart D. 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Augmentation of talonavicular fusion with a retrograde percutaneous naviculocalcaneal screw has been shown to increase fixation stiffness of double (subtalar and talonavicular joint) arthrodesis. However, previous authors have speculated that neurovascular structures could be at risk in a percutaneous procedure. We investigated the safety of this procedure. We hypothesized that a high risk of neurovascular injury would be found.

Methods:
Dorsolateral talonaviculocalcaneal screw fixation was performed in 17 fresh-frozen cadaver limbs. A 1.5-cm incision was created over the lateral third of the navicular. Using percutaneous technique, a 4.5-mm cannulated screw was inserted using a guide wire. Blunt dissection and careful soft-tissue retraction were performed. The incision was extended, and a caliper was used to measure the distance from the guide wire to the superficial peroneal nerve (SPN), extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, deep peroneal nerve (DPN), and deep peroneal artery (DPA). All injuries were recorded.

Results:
Injury to the deep neurovascular bundle occurred in five of 17 specimens. These injuries involved four insults to the DPN, two to the DPA, and one to branches of the SPN.

Conclusions:
Use of a retrograde naviculocalcaneal screw to augment talonavicular fusion in the setting of double arthrodesis was associated with high risk of injury to anatomic structures, including the deep neurovascular bundle.

Clinical Relevance:
An open procedure with careful dissection along the neurovascular bundle should be considered with use of a retrograde naviculocalcaneal screw to augment talonavicular fusion to avoid risk to nearby anatomic structures.
Autoimmune manifestations of infections
Authors: Jara Luis J. , Medina Gabriela , Saavedra Miguel A. 
Published: March 2018

Purpose of review
To provide an update about the interactions between infections and autoimmune diseases (AIDs), from the molecular perspective to the clinical spectrum and the differentiation between infection and disease activity.

Recent findings
Any kind of infection may modify the innate and adaptive immune response through the following mechanisms: molecular mimicry, superantigens, epitope spreading and B-cell activation. The consequence is the overproduction of antibodies shared with those found in AIDs. Viral infections, especially HIV and hepatitis C virus, can stimulate the production of antiphospholipid antibodies and confer an increased risk to develop antiphospholipid syndrome.

Summary
The identification of risk factors to develop infections in patients with AIDs is remarkable to prevent them. These factors are the use of steroids and immunosuppressants, the involvement of a major organ (lungs, brain and kidney) and severe activity. Biomarkers to differentiate infection from disease activity are scarce, but the combination of procalcitonine and C-reactive protein seems to have higher specificity and sensibility to identify infections in patients with AIDs. Finally, the clinical judgment is the hallmark to differentiate between infections and disease activity.
Stifled Learning
Authors: Thomas Constance Ann 
Published: March 2018

ABSTRACT:
Incivility is of great concern in nursing, yet little is known about nursing students' encounters with incivility during clinical education. The lived experience of nursing students who encountered uncivil acts (n = 12) was explored through narrative interviews. Themes describing incivility emerged, including covert criticism and open shaming. Students experienced emotional and physical turmoil, and mixed messages that created a paradox. Further research is needed to understand components of incivility and the negative remnants left by uncivil encounters on nursing students.
An Innovative Role for Faith Community Nursing
Authors: Lentz Judy C. 
Published: March 2018

ABSTRACT:
Although the specialty of palliative nursing and palliative care continues to grow in hospital and outpatient settings, a paucity of home-based palliative services remains. This article discusses a new paradigm of faith-based palliative care ministry using faith community nurses (FCNs). Under the leadership of a palliative care doula (a nurse expert in palliative care), nurses in the faith community can offer critical support to those with serious illness. Models such as this provide stimulating content for FCN practice and opportunity to broaden health ministry within faith communities.
