AbstractPublic administrators rely on written communications to send information to citizens and stakeholders, and they are among the heaviest users of the postal service. Behavioral science research has identified several techniques that public administrators can use to increase compliance with written requests and, in turn, increase effectiveness. Currently, however, many written communications from government bodies are not written in a manner that utilizes these techniques. It remains an ongoing challenge for public administrators to identify, understand, and use these techniques in the written communications sent by their organizations. This article presents a framework capturing seven prominent techniques in a simple mnemonic—INSPIRE—that is already being used by several government bodies in Australia. It also provides practical examples of how to use each technique and demonstrates that using these techniques could result in large aggregate improvements in effectiveness and socially desirable outcomes of public administrators' written communications.
Cultivating Metacognition in Each of Us: Thinking About “Thinking” in Interdisciplinary Disaster Research
Authors: Ganapati N. Emel , Mostafavi Ali 
Published: November 2018

AbstractAlthough there is an emerging literature on interdisciplinary disaster research (IDR), one of the overlooked aspects relates to our thinking itself: how to actively think about our thinking—metacognition—while embarking on our interdisciplinary journeys. This article argues that metacognition has an instrumental value both for IDR projects and for individual researchers involved in IDR. For IDR projects, metacognition can help:overcome disciplinary barriers in IDR by revealing cognitive abilities and inabilities for each team member through identifying what is hindering or enabling individuals and the group to transcend disciplinary boundaries toward true integration across the disciplines;deal with “wicked” problems that characterize disaster contexts in a more effective and creative manner;oversee team functioning; andmonitor and evaluate progress toward meeting project goals and objectives.For individual researchers, metacognition can help them grow intellectually, and understand the fallacies and limitations in their thinking. It can also encourage them to live an authentic and unified life as an individual. The article concludes with guidance on how individual researchers, principal investigators of IDR projects, and institutions such as universities and funding agencies can cultivate metacognition. To our knowledge, this is the first article that introduces metacognition as a tool for enhancing our thinking on IDR.
Untangling gender differentiated food security gaps in Bhutan: An application of exogenous switching treatment regression
Authors: Aryal Jeetendra Prakash , Mottaleb Khondoker Abdul , Rahut Dil Bahadur 
Published: November 2018

AbstractUsing nationally representative data from Bhutan, and applying an exogenous switching treatment regression model, this study assessed the food security status between male‐headed households (MHHs) and female‐headed households (FHHs). The study demonstrates that there is no significant difference between MHHs and FHHs in terms of food security, but when MHHs are compared with de jure FHHs, the food security is significantly lower among the de jure FHHs. The food security gap between MHHs and de jure FHHs is due to the differences in both observable and unobservable characteristics of the households. The food security gap between de facto and de jure FHHs can be explained by the influence of connections and wider access to off‐farm income. Most of the previous studies consider all FHHs as a homogenous entity and ignore the concept of de jure FHHs (i.e., a household run by single, widowed, or divorced woman) and de facto FHHs (i.e., a household where there is a husband, but he is not physically present because of his work off‐farm). As the present research takes this into account, the econometric findings from our study, thus have important implications in formulating special food security policies targeting the most vulnerable FHHs.
Deterministic Parallel Analysis: An Improved Method for Selecting Factors and Principal Components
Authors: Dobriban Edgar , Owen Art B. 
Published: November 2018

SummaryFactor analysis and principal component analysis are used in many application areas. The first step, choosing the number of components, remains a serious challenge. Our work proposes improved methods for this important problem. One of the most popular state of the art methods is parallel analysis (PA), which compares the observed factor strengths with simulated strengths under a noise-only model. The paper proposes improvements to PA. We first derandomize it, proposing deterministic PA, which is faster and more reproducible than PA. Both PA and deterministic PA are prone to a shadowing phenomenon in which a strong factor makes it difficult to detect smaller but more interesting factors. We propose deflation to counter shadowing. We also propose to raise the decision threshold to improve estimation accuracy. We prove several consistency results for our methods, and test them in simulations. We also illustrate our methods on data from the human genome diversity project, where they significantly improve the accuracy.
2‐D solitary waves in thermal media with nonsymmetric boundary conditions
Authors: Louis Simon A. , Marchant Tim R. , Smyth Noel F. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractOptical solitary waves and their stability in focusing thermal optical media, such as lead glasses, are studied numerically and theoretically in (2 + 1) dimensions. The optical medium is a square cell and mixed boundary conditions of Newton cooling and fixed temperature on different sides of the cell are used. Nonlinear thermal optical media have a refractive index which depends on temperature, so that heating from the optical beam and heat flow across the boundaries can change the refractive index of the medium. Solitary wave solutions are found numerically using the Newton conjugate‐gradient method, while their stability is studied using a linearized stability analysis and also via numerical simulations. It is found that the position of the solitary wave is dependent on the boundary conditions, with the center of the beam moving toward the warmer boundaries, as the parameters are varied. The stability of the solitary waves depends on the symmetry of the boundary conditions and the amplitude of the solitary waves.
Social media and policing: A review of recent research
Authors: Walsh James P. , O'Connor Christopher 
Published: November 2018

AbstractStudies of social media's impact on policing have emerged in several disciplines, including criminology, sociology, and communications. Despite their insight, there is no unified body of knowledge regarding this relationship. In an attempt to synthesize extant work, bring coherence to the field, and orient future scholarship, this article summarizes research on social media's implications for practices and perceptions of order maintenance. It does so by identifying how social media's technical affordances empower and constrain police services. By offering new opportunities for surveillance, risk communication, and impression management, emergent technologies augment the police's control of their public visibility and that of the social world. However, they also provide unprecedented capacities to monitor the police and expose, circulate, and mobilize around perceived injustice, whether brutality, racial profiling, or other forms of indiscretion. Considering these issues promises to enhance knowledge on contemporary directions in social control, organizational communication, inequality, and collective action. Suggestions for future research are also explored.

Published: November 2018

BACKGROUNDGenetic determinants may underlie the susceptibility of red blood cells (RBCs) to hemolyze in vivo and during routine storage. This study characterized the reproducibility and dynamics of in vitro hemolysis variables from a subset of the 13,403 blood donors enrolled in the RBC‐Omics study.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSRBC‐Omics donors with either low or high hemolysis results on 4°C‐stored leukoreduced (LR)‐RBC samples from enrollment donations stored for 39 to 42 days were recalled 2 to 12 months later to donate LR‐RBCs. Samples of stored LR‐RBCs from the unit and from transfer bags were evaluated for spontaneous and stress‐induced hemolysis at selected storage time points. Intradonor reproducibility of hemolysis variables was evaluated in transfer bags over two donations. Hemolysis data at serial storage time points were generated on LR‐RBCs from parent bags and analyzed by site, sex, race/ethnicity, and donation frequency.RESULTSA total of 664 donors were successfully recalled. Analysis of intradonor reproducibility revealed that osmotic and oxidative hemolysis demonstrated good and moderate reproducibility (Pearson's r = 0.85 and r = 0.53, respectively), while spontaneous hemolysis reproducibility was poor (r = 0.40). Longitudinal hemolysis in parent bags showed large increases over time in spontaneous (508.6%) and oxidative hemolysis (399.8%) and smaller increases in osmotic (9.4%) and mechanical fragility (3.4%; all p < 0.0001).CONCLUSIONSpontaneous hemolysis is poorly reproducible in donors over time and may depend on site processing methods, while oxidative and osmotic hemolysis were reproducible in donors and hence could reflect consistent heritable phenotypes attributable to genetic traits. Spontaneous and oxidative hemolysis increased over time of storage, whereas osmotic and mechanical hemolysis remained relatively stable.

PENYELESAIAN HARTA PUSAKA MAFQŪD MENURUT PERSPEKTIF UNDANG-UNDANG ISLAM( A SOLUTION FOR INHERITANCE PROPERTY OF LOST PERSON (MAFQŪD) FROM ISLAMIC LAW PERSPECTIVE)
Authors: Salleh Mohd Muslim , Nor  Muhamad Nasrul Hisyam , Husin Ezwan Rafiq 
Published: November 2018

The issue of muslims inheritence has been discussing since in recent years. This is due to the increased value of the estate, particularly involving muslims property unclaimed and completed by the beneficiary. Mafqud case is one of the causes of the deceased estate that could not be completed. In this context, the meaning of Mafqud is beneficiary who lost his life in which the status cannot be determined. This is not to be taken lightly as it can cause other problems such as Munasakhat (death plated). This article will discuss the theory and calculations of Taqdir and al-Jam’u, which are combined the calculation if beneficiary still alive and the calculation if beneficiary is dead. On the basis of this calculation, the least part of beneficiaries obtained between two destinies will be determined to solve the problem of distribution of the estate. The authors also discuss the application of the theory of al-Taqdir in some circumstances Mafqud case in detail. The data obtained in order to produce this article is from a literature review of previous studies and the view of Islamic jurisprudence. Therefore the authors suggested that the theory of al-Taqdīr should be used for the settlement of Muslim inheritance in Mafqud cases.
SYED AMEER ALI: TOKOH RASIONALISME DALAM DUNIA ISLAM ABAD KE-19 (SYED AMEER ALI: MUSLIM RATIONALIST IN THE 19TH CENTURY)
Authors: RAJALI MD HASRI BIN 
Published: November 2018

The spirit of rationalism is often adopted by the group of Western-educated Muslim intellegensia. Furthermore, it became popular in the 19th century as was the case in India namely Syed Ameer Ali, one of the figures who advocate the spirit of rationalism. Syed Ameer Ali had been said to have made the philosophy of rationalism as the principle of his life in fighting for the true meaning of Islam. It also aims to rescue the Muslims from the rut of the realm of intellectual lethargy and emulate the intellectual awakening epitomized by the Abbasid empire. Therefore, this paper will discuss Syed Ameer Ali’s idea of discourse on Islamic thought based on his great works.

Authors: Sule Mohammed Maga 
Published: November 2018

This research centered on the effects of social media on Muslim students in Nasarawa State University, Keffi. The purpose of this is to examine how Muslim students make use of the social media and the effects of these social media sites on them, the level of Muslim students’ awareness of social media, how to properly make use of the social media sites for the propagation of Islam. The research used quantitative methodology. Questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. Similarly, textbooks, journals, as well as internet sources were used for the research. The research found that social media as a tool has created a new social dimension in the lives of Muslim students. Social media has developed and increased their levels of religious, educational and social awareness. It is argued in the research that, social media has provided an avenue for getting information in many aspects of everyday life, making one to become more knowledgeable which is beneficial especially for Muslim students. The research found that most of the Muslim students surveyed were aware of the positive and negative effects of social media sites and were also conversant with the social media sites that propagate Islam. Some of the social media sites utilized by Muslim students are Facebook, WhatsApp, Ummaland, Masjidway, Nahnu Muslim and Muslim Social to mention but a few.
Structural mechanisms for defective CFTR gating caused by the Q1412X mutation, a severe Class VI pathogenic mutation in cystic fibrosis
Authors: Yeh Jiunn‐Tyng , Yu Ying‐Chun , Hwang Tzyh‐Chang 
Published: November 2018

Key points
Electrophysiological characterization of Q1412X‐CFTR, a C‐terminal truncation mutation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) associated with the severe form of cystic fibrosis (CF), reveals a gating defect that has not been reported previously.
Mechanistic investigations of the gating deficit in Q1412X‐CFTR suggest that the reduced open probability in Q1412X‐CFTR is the result of a disruption of the function of the second ATP binding site (or site 2) in the nucleotide binding domains (NBDs).
Detailed comparisons of several mutations with different degrees of truncation in the C‐terminal region of NBD2 reveal the importance of the last two beta‐strands in NBD2 for maintaining proper gating functions.
The results of the present study also show that the application of clinically‐approved drugs (VX‐770 and VX‐809) can greatly enhance the function of Q1412X, providing in vitro evidence for a therapeutic strategy employing both reagents for patients bearing Q1412X or similar truncation mutations.
AbstractCystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by loss‐of‐function mutations of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a phosphorylation‐activated but ATP‐gated chloride channel. Based on the molecular mechanism of CF pathogenesis, disease‐associated mutations are categorized into six classes. Among them, Class VI, whose members include some of the C‐terminal truncation mutations such as Q1412X, is defined as decreased membrane expression because of a faster turnover rate. In the present study, we characterized the functional properties of Q1412X‐CFTR, a severe‐form premature stop codon mutation. We confirmed previous findings of a ∼90% decrease in membrane expression but found a ∼95% reduction in the open probability (Po). Detailed kinetic studies support the idea that the gating defect is the result of a dysfunctional ATP‐binding site 2 in the nucleotide binding domains (NBDs). Because the Q1412X mutation results in a deletion of the last two beta‐strands in NBD2 and the whole C‐terminal region, we further characterized truncation mutations with different degrees of deletion in this segment. Mutations that completely or partially remove the C‐terminus of CFTR at the same time as keeping an intact NBD2 (i.e. D1425X and S1455X) assume gating function almost identical to that of wild‐type channels. However, the deletion of the last beta‐strand in the NBD2 (i.e. N1419X) causes gating dysfunction that is milder than that of Q1412X. Thus, normal CFTR gating requires structural integrity of NBD2. Moreover, our observation that clinically‐approved VX‐809 (Lumacaftor, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Boston, MA, USA) and VX‐770 (Ivacaftor, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Boston, MA, USA) significantly enhance the overall function of Q1412X‐CFTR provides the conceptual basis for the treatment of patients carrying this mutation.
Moderating Effects of Depression, Food Cravings, and Weight-Related Quality-of-Life on Associations of Treatment-Targeted Psychosocial Changes and Physical Activity in Adolescent Candidates for Bariatric Surgery
Authors: Annesi James 
Published: November 2018

Background: Physical activity is a strong predictor of sustaining weight loss. Yet physical activity has been challenging to maintain. Adolescent bariatric surgery is increasing, and there is typically an initial 6-month period when improving health behaviors such as physical activity are addressed by a clinic-based team. However, there is minimal understanding of how to target psychosocial factors relevant for behavioral changes. Methods: A group of 15 adolescent candidates for bariatric surgery (mean age = 15.1 y; mean body mass index = 55.9 kg/m2) were assessed on changes in 3 theory-based predictors of physical activity from baseline–month 3 and baseline–month 6. Results: Changes in physical activity-related self-regulation and self-efficacy over 3 months significantly predicted change in physical activity over 6 months. Reciprocal relationships were also significant, including the prediction of physical activity change by change in negative mood. The clinical psychology-based factor of weight-related quality-of-life significantly moderated the prediction of self-regulation via physical activity, and degree of depressive symptoms significantly moderated the prediction of changes in physical activity through self-efficacy changes. Conclusions: Because improvements in several theory-based psychosocial variables related to physical activity have demonstrated a carry-over to controlling eating, the improved understanding of those variables for treating adolescents with severe obesity was useful.

Abstract
Fourteen previously unpublished manuscripts by Archibald Geikie are reproduced here for the first time in approximate date order. The earliest identified manuscripts date from 1847: ‘Fable One’ and ‘Frogs Desiring a King’. Geikie was only 12 years old when he wrote these compositions. Others are dated 1852, 1853 and 1857 and were all written early in Geikie's life and are very important for understanding his intellectual development at that time.
A prediction–evaluation approach to the full-scale emplacement experiment (FE) in Mont Terri
Authors: Papafotiou A. , Senger R. , Li C. , Singh A. , Garitte B. , Müller H. , Marschall P. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
A prediction–evaluation approach is developed to assess the propagation of parameter, conceptual and scenario uncertainties in the estimated near-field temperatures of the full-scale emplacement experiment at the Mont Terri rock laboratory. The uncertainty assessment is performed using a three-dimensional thermo-hydraulic numerical model of the full-scale emplacement experiment that represents the emplaced materials and surrounding Opalinus Clay and accounts for heat generation at the heaters. The propagation of parametric uncertainties is assessed using a first-order second-moment method supplemented by Monte Carlo simulations sampling the uncertain parameter space. The risk of uncertain parameters resulting in the failure of the maximum temperature criteria is evaluated with a first-order reliability method. Conceptual and scenario uncertainties are evaluated with deterministic simulation variants. After the conclusion of predictive modelling, a mid-term evaluation of the temperature predictions is performed through a comparison with measurements after 2.5 years of heating. The comparison indicates that the best estimates of temperature agree well with the measurements and that the 95% error bands assessed with parametric uncertainty envelope the measured values in almost all locations. Additional comparison with the measured degree of water saturation and the relative humidity is performed to assess the hydraulic behaviour and set the ground for the long-term evaluation, which will include predictions of the near-field pore pressures.
