The social life of self‐injury: exploring the communicative dimension of a very personal practice
Authors: Steggals Peter , Lawler Steph , Graham Ruth 
Published: September 2019

AbstractThis article makes the case for a sociological focus on the communicative, relational and interactional dimensions of nonsuicidal self‐injury. While current research tends to be dominated by highly individual and intrapsychic models, it is increasingly observed that such models leave a social dimension to the practice unexplained. A burgeoning sociological literature has begun to address this paradox of the social in self‐injury; however, we argue that the role of the social must be considered beyond the issues of aetiology, social learning and social construal/construction that are typically covered in this literature. Specifically, we argue that, since the lived meanings of self‐injury directly implicate the interactional along with the intrapsychic, a more systematic focus on the role of social relations and social communication is vital. To illustrate this conceptual argument and embed it in the lived experiences of self‐injury, we draw on two case studies taken from pilot research conducted by the authors. The more thoroughly sociological approach to self‐injury that we present here offers an important compliment to the existing evidence base by reframing the absent presence of social communication contained within it, and suggesting important future directions for research.
How to speak like a spirit medium
Authors: TOMLINSON MATT 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTIn the movement known as Spiritualism, successful performances of “mental mediumship” are rarely smooth. At services held by the Canberra Spiritualist Association, mediums attempt to provide evidence of life after death by describing a deceased person's character in ways recognizable to audience members. A medium's verbal performance de‐emphasizes heteroglossia while developing vivid spirit characters. Audience members sometimes do not understand or accept what the medium says, but small “failures” in performance help build a larger sense that mediums and audiences are working to gather evidence. As they work, mediums foreground and background their agency at the same time, displaying their fluency in spirit communication while identifying spirits as ultimately responsible for being present, and offering messages to the living.

AbstractSynthesizing self‐regulatory theories, we provide new insights into the antecedents of abusive supervision. We, from the perspective of supervisor's self‐regulatory resources depletion or impairment, introduce supervisor hindrance stress as an underlying mechanism of the subordinate deviance–abusive supervision relationship: this mediated relationship will be intensified at the level of high subordinate job performance. In addition, we develop a complex contingency model and propose a three‐way interaction (i.e., subordinate deviance, job performance, supervisor outcome dependence) to obtain the complete understanding of the subordinate deviance–abusive supervision relationship facilitated through the supervisors’ hindrance stress. To test our moderated moderated mediation model, we gathered time‐lagged and multisource data from a large food service company located in southern China. We collected data at two different points (i.e., Time 1 and Time 2) from supervisors and their direct reports (N = 298 responses from 68 supervisors and 298 direct reports), and findings provide support for the hypothesized moderated moderated mediation model of our study. We highlight the implications of our study for theory, research, and practice.

AbstractMutually exclusive KIT and PDGFRA mutations are considered to be the earliest events in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), but insufficient for their malignant progression. Herein, we aimed to identify driver genes and signaling pathways relevant to GIST progression. We investigated genetic profiles of 707 driver genes, including mutations, gene fusions, copy number gain or loss, and gene expression for 65 clinical specimens of surgically dissected GIST, consisting of six metastatic tumors and 59 primary tumors from stomach, small intestine, rectum, and esophagus. Genetic alterations included oncogenic mutations and amplification‐dependent expression enhancement for oncogenes (OG), and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and expression reduction for tumor suppressor genes (TSG). We assigned activated OG and inactivated TSG to 27 signaling pathways, the activation of which was compared between malignant GIST (metastasis and high‐risk GIST) and less malignant GIST (low‐ and very low‐risk GIST). Integrative molecular profiling indicated that a greater incidence of genetic alterations of driver genes was detected in malignant GIST (96%, 22 of 23) than in less malignant GIST (73%, 24 of 33). Malignant GIST samples groups showed mutations, LOH, and aberrant expression dominantly in driver genes associated with signaling pathways of PI3K (PIK3CA, AKT1, and PTEN) and the cell cycle (RB1, CDK4, and CDKN1B). Additionally, we identified potential PI3K‐related genes, the expression of which was upregulated (SNAI1 and TPX2) or downregulated (BANK1) in malignant GIST. Based on our observations, we propose that inhibition of PI3K pathway signals might potentially be an effective therapeutic strategy against malignant progression of GIST.

AbstractThere are heterogeneous data regarding the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) on clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study explored the effect of history of DM (hDM) and HTN (hHTN), separately and in combination with each other, on major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in short‐, mid‐, and long‐term intervals after PCI. Between 2000 and 2017, 1799 patients who had PCI were registered. They were categorized in four different groups: hDM, hHTN, hDM + hHTN, and no hDMQuery no hHTN. Incidence of myocardial infarction, revascularization, and coronary death totally considered as MACE was sought in short‐ (<24 hours), mid‐ (24 hours up to 6 months), and long‐term (more than 6 months) intervals after PCI. Among the subjects, 176 had hDM, 648 had hHTN, 370 had hDM + hHTN, and 605 were in no hDM no hHTN group. The median follow‐up time was 66.5 months. Time‐to‐event (time to the first MACE) was not significantly different between four groups. hHTN group was older and hDM group was younger at the time of enrollment PCI. Female gender was dominant only in hDM + hHTN group. Of the total, 130 patients (7.22%) experienced MACE. There was no MACE in short term, 23.07% of the MACEs were in mid‐term, and the remaining happened in long term. However, according to the rate ratio, incidence rate of MACE in mid‐tem was significantly higher than the long term. Also, MACE occurrence was significantly higher in hDM + hHTN and hHTN groups than the no hDM no hHTN group. Our study showed that the history of HTN significantly increases post‐PCI MACE rather than the history of DM. Having history of both DM and HTN synergistically raised MACE incidence. Incidence of MACE per month was higher in mid‐term than the long‐term interval.

AbstractBackgroundIn gender minority patients, electrolysis and laser hair removal may be necessary to reduce facial and body hair in individuals seeking a more feminine appearance and/or modified gender expression. These procedures may also be required preoperatively for some gender‐affirming surgeries.AimsTo identify (a) the frequency of unwanted facial and body hair, (b) the use of various hair removal methods, and (c) associated barriers to care in gender minority patients.MethodsAn online‐based patient survey was distributed via social media on Facebook®, YouTube®, and Instagram® in fall 2018. Respondents were at least 18 years old and self‐identified as a gender minority.ResultsIn total, 991 responses were recorded with a completion rate of 77%. Considering excess hair, 84% of transwomen on feminizing hormone therapy (FHT: estrogen and anti‐androgen therapy), 100% of transwomen not on FHT, and 100% of nonbinary individuals on FHT reported excess facial/body hair. Laser hair removal (18%) and electrolysis (17%) had similar rates of use in this cohort and were more commonly reported for nonsurgical gender‐affirming purposes than preoperative preparation. Cost was the most frequently cited barrier to care.ConclusionAs the majority of transwomen and nonbinary people on feminizing hormone therapy had persistent excess facial/body hair, routine use of gender‐affirming hormones is not sufficient to fully eliminate unwanted hair. There remains a critical need to advocate for more comprehensive insurance coverage for laser hair removal and electrolysis in gender minority patients.
A Loss and Deflection Model for Compressor Blading at High Negative Incidence

Published: September 2019

Abstract
While significant advances have come about for turbomachinery off-design performance characterization using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the need for quick performance estimates at challenging off-design conditions still requires the use of lower-order models, such as mean-line analyses and through-flow tools. These inviscid tools require blade performance correlations formulated in terms of loss and turning angle as a function of blade geometric and aerodynamic parameters. Traditionally, such correlations have relied on the empirical data from blade cascade tests at nominal incidence conditions. This limitation on the applicability of the blade correlations has caused performance modeling of the sub-idle regime to be off-limits to this type of correlation-based approaches. This paper addresses the development of blade loss and deviation models applicable to the sub-idle regime using a parametric numerical approach. 2D CFD results are used to generate a model that is then applied to mean-line and through-flow analyses aimed at predicting the sub-idle map of an axial flow compressor. The model proves to be a valuable tool for quick sub-idle performance estimates and allows existing correlation-based performance prediction methods to be extended into the sub-idle regime.
Quantifying changes in global health inequality: the Gini and Slope Inequality Indices applied to the Global Burden of Disease data, 1990–2017

Published: September 2019

BackgroundThe major shifts in the global burden of disease over the past decades are well documented, but how these shifts have affected global inequalities in health remains an underexplored topic. We applied comprehensive inequality measures to data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.MethodsBetween-country relative inequality was measured by the population-weighted Gini Index, between-country absolute inequality was calculated using the population-weighted Slope Inequality Index (SII). Both were applied to country-level GBD data on age-standardised disability-adjusted life years.FindingsAbsolute global health inequality measured by the SII fell notably between 1990 (0.68) and 2017 (0.42), mainly driven by a decrease of disease burden due to communicable, maternal, neonatal and nutritional diseases (CMNN). By contrast, relative inequality remained essentially unchanged from 0.21 to 0.19 (1990–2017), with a peak of 0.23 (2000–2008). The main driver for the increase of relative inequality 1990–2008 was the HIV epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa. Relative inequality increased 1990–2017 within each of the three main cause groups: CMNNs; non-communicable diseases (NCDs); and injuries.ConclusionsDespite considerable reductions in disease burden in 1990–2017 and absolute health inequality between countries, absolute and relative international health inequality remain high. The limited reduction of relative inequality has been largely due to shifts in disease burden from CMNNs and injuries to NCDs. If progress in the reduction of health inequalities is to be sustained beyond the global epidemiological transition, the fight against CMNNs and injuries must be joined by increased efforts for NCDs.

ObjectiveTo describe haematocrit at birth in preterm infants who received ≥60 s of delayed cord clamping (DCC).DesignRetrospective observational study.SettingA California public hospital with an American Academy of Pediatrics level 4 neonatal intensive care unit, with 3500–4000 deliveries annually.Participants467 preterm infants born at <35 weeks’ gestational age (GA) between January 2013 and December 2018.Primary and secondary outcome measuresHaematocrit reference ranges for 0–4 hours after birth and paired haematocrit differences between 0–4 and 4–24 hours.MethodsHaematocrits were obtained when clinically indicated and collected from arterial, venous and capillary sources. Haematocrits obtained after packed red blood cell transfusions were excluded. We summarised the first available haematocrit between 0 and 4 hours by GA strata. We used mixed-effects linear regression to describe the associations between haematocrit and predictor variables including GA, male sex and hours after an infant’s birth. We also compared paired haematocrits at 0–4 and 4–24 hours after birth.ResultsThe median GA of the 467 included infants was 33.3 weeks, birth weight was 1910 g and DCC duration was 60 s. The mean (95% CI) first haematocrit at 0–4 hours was 46.6 (45.0% to 48.1%), 51.2 (49.6% to 52.8%), 50.6 (49.1% to 52.1%), 54.3 (52.8% to 55.8%) and 55.6 (54.6% to 56.6%) for infants 23–29, 30–31, 32, 33 and 34 weeks’ GA strata, respectively. The subanalysis of 174 infants with paired haematocrits at 0–4 and 4–24 hours showed that for each additional hour after birth, the mean (95% CI) haematocrit increased by 0.2 (0.1% to 0.3%), 0.2 (0.1% to 0.4%) and 0.1 (0.0% to 0.2%) for infants in 23–29, 30–31 and 32 weeks’ GA strata, respectively. The subanalysis showed no change between the paired haematocrits in the 33 and 34 weeks’ GA strata.ConclusionsOur study describes haematocrit in preterm infants who received ≥60 s DCC as standard of care. Haematocrit during the first 0–4 hours in our study is higher than the previously described reference ranges prior to DCC becoming routine clinical practice. The paired second haematocrit at 4–24 hours is higher than haematocrit at 0–4 hours.

AimsNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (neoCRT) is recommended for locally advanced rectal cancer (RC), however, this often makes lymph node (LN) search trying. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in a large retrospective, monocentric, series of post-neoCRT-RC patients, the importance of LN number, ratio and surface area in predicting metastases, overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS).Methods104 patients with RC underwent total mesorectal excision, after standard neoCRT. All resected specimens were examined according to a standardised sampling/histopathological protocol. The following data regarding LNs were collected: total numbers; number with metastases; LNratio (metastatic/total); maximum diameter; surface area.ResultsA statistically significant association was found between LN number and DFS (p=0.0473). Finding ≤9 or >20 LNs correlated with worse prognosis compared with 10–20 (p value=0.049). LNratio (>0.2) was strongly associated with shorter DFS (HR=13.36; p value <0.0001) and OS (HR=26.06; p value <0.0001). Poor outcome, for DFS (HR=2.17, p value =0.0416) and OS (HR=1.18, p value =0.0025), was associated with increasing LN surface area. LNratio was independently associated with DFS at multivariate analysis (p value <0.0001).ConclusionsLN number, LNratio and LN surface area are important prognostic factors in neoCRT-RC and in particular finding ≤9 or >20 LNs is prognostically adverse.

Published: September 2019

BackgroundFree‐living cetaceans are exposed to a wide variety of stressful situations, including live stranding and interaction with human beings (capture myopathy), vessel strikes, and fishing activities (bycatch), which affect their wellbeing and potentially lead to stress cardiomyopathy (SCMP).MethodsHere, the authors aimed to characterise SCMP of stranded cetaceans as an injury resulting from extreme stress responses, based on pathological analyses (histological, histochemical and immunohistochemical). Specifically, the authors examined heart samples from 67 cetaceans found ashore (48 live strandings, seven dead from ship collision and 12 dead from bycatch) on the coast of Spain, more specifically in the Canary Islands from 2000 to 2016 and Andalusia from 2011 to 2014.ResultsThe microscopic findings were characterised by vascular changes, acute or subacute cardiac degenerative necrotic lesions, interstitial myoglobin globules, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Immunohistochemically, cardiac troponin I, cardiac troponin C and myoglobin were depleted, along with fibrinogen being expressed in the degenerated/necrotic cardiomyocytes. A perivascular pattern was also identified and described in the damaged cardiomyocytes.ConclusionsThis study advances current knowledge about the pathologies of cetaceans and their implications on conserving this group of animals by reducing mortality and enhancing their treatment and subsequent rehabilitation to the marine environment.

This study investigated redistributing long inter-set rest intervals into shorter but more frequent intervals at 2 different concentric velocities. Resistance-trained men performed 4 randomised isokinetic unilateral knee extension protocols, 2 at 60°·s−1 and 2 at 360°·s−1. At each speed, subjects performed 40 repetitions with 285 s of rest using traditional sets (TS; 4 sets of 10 with 95 s of inter-set rest) and rest-redistribution (RR; 20 sets of 2 with 15 s inter-set rest). Before and at 2, 5, and 10 min after exercise, tensiomyography (TMG) and oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy; NIRS) were measured. NIRS was also measured during exercise, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was recorded after every 10 repetitions. At both speeds, RR displayed greater peak torque, total work, and power output during latter repetitions, but there were no differences between TS or RR when averaging all 40 repetitions. The RPE was less during RR at both speeds (p < 0.05). RR increased select muscle oxygen saturation and blood flow at both speeds. There were no effects of protocol on TMG, but effect sizes favoured a quicker recovery after RR. RR was likely beneficial in maintaining performance compared with the latter parts of TS sets and limiting perceived and peripheral fatigue. Novelty Although effective at slow velocities, rest-redistribution was likely more effective during high-velocity movements in this study. Rest-redistribution maintained the ability to produce force throughout an entire range of motion. Rest-redistribution reduced RPE during both high-velocity and high-force movements.
Guided TE-waves in a slab structure with lossless cubic nonlinear dielectric and magnetic material: parameter dependence and power flow with focus on metamaterials
Authors: Schürmann Hans Werner , Serov Valery 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
The parameter dependence and power flow of guided TE-waves in a lossless cubic nonlinear, dielectric, magnetic planar three-layer structure is studied as follows.
Using a travelling wave ansatz with stationary amplitude, Maxwell’s equations are transformed to a system of ordinary nonlinear differential equations.The solutions of the system are presented compactly (in terms of hyperbolic and elliptic functions).The nonnegative and bounded (“physical”) solutions are determined by using a phase diagram condition (PDC) that is applied to express the continuity (transmission) conditions at the interfaces leading to the dispersion relation (DR).Based on the PDC, the parameter dependence and stability of the solutions to the DR and corresponding power flow are studied numerically for permittivities and permeabilities that may be appropriate to describe metamaterial.
