Family Quality of Life and Its Correlates Among Parents of Children and Adults With Intellectual Disability
Authors: Boehm Thomas L. , Carter Erik W. 
Published: March 2019

AbstractAll families, including those impacted by disability, desire and deserve opportunities for high quality of life. This study focused on family quality of life (FQOL) among 529 parents with children or adults with intellectual disability (ID). Parents reported moderate to high levels of FQOL satisfaction, with some variability across domains. We conducted hierarchical linear regression analyses to examine associations among FQOL and: (1) individual and family demographic factors, (2) religiosity/spirituality factors, and (3) relationship factors. Findings highlighted the significance of both informal (i.e., family, friends) and formal (i.e., professional) social relationships, as well as the relevance of spirituality/religiosity, as factors contributing to FQOL. We offer recommendations for research and practice aimed at enhancing FQOL of parents with children and adults who have ID.

Abstract
Limited housing choices constrain autonomy and the opportunity to reach social potential for persons with intellectual and development disabilities (IDD). This project implemented and evaluated “Friendly Housemates,” a complex social model where persons with IDD shared housing with students. The purpose was to enable persons with IDD to engage in independent living within a secure, supportive environment. A qualitative study using in-depth, longitudinal interviews was conducted with persons with IDD, their student housemates, families and community agency staff; the data were analyzed inductively. Although the households encountered challenges, the results were encouraging and suggest the model has potential as a transitional housing option for people with IDD. Numerous recommendations were generated for policy and practice.

This research was done on January until February of 2017 in Banjaran Village, Bangsri Sub-District, Jepara Regency. The research method that used was survey method by doing a direct interview based on the available questionaire. There were 80 farmers that were selected randomly to be the respondent sample of this research. The research’s results showed the average income of farmers was Rp 4.369.956,-. The average of monthly income was Rp 1.092.489,- which is lower than regional minimum wage of Jepara District. Cultivation of rice done by farmers was considered as profitable bussiness because the average of profitability is higher than the loan interest at of Sumber Mulyo Cooperative. The factors which influence farmer’s income were cost of seed (X1) and cost of fertilizer (X2). Meanwhile, the cost of drug (X3) and labour (X4) were not factors that affect Gapoktan Sumber Mulyo farmers’ income. Keywords : Farmer’s Income, Paddy.
Distance Bounds for Graphs with Some Negative Bakry-Émery Curvature
Authors: Liu Shiping , Münch Florentin , Peyerimhoff Norbert , Rose Christian 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
We prove distance bounds for graphs possessing positive Bakry-Émery curvature apart from an exceptional set, where the curvature is allowed to be non-positive. If the set of non-positively curved vertices is finite, then the graph admits an explicit upper bound for the diameter. Otherwise, the graph is a subset of the tubular neighborhood with an explicit radius around the non-positively curved vertices. Those results seem to be the first assuming non-constant Bakry-Émery curvature assumptions on graphs.
Geniposide alleviates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation by downregulation of miR-27a in rat pancreatic acinar cell AR42J
Authors: Zhang Xiaofen , Gao Taishan , Wang Yanhua 
Published: March 2019

AbstractPancreatitis is a disease caused by inflammation of pancreatic acinar cells. Geniposide (GEN) possesses anti-inflammation activities. Hence, we investigated the effects of GEN on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated AR42J cells. AR42J cells were stimulated by LPS and then treated with GEN and/or transfected with miR-27a mimic or negative control. Cell viability and cell apoptosis were detected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry, respectively. All related proteins were measured by Western blot. The expression of miR-27a was detected by quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Moreover, the expression of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 was analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. LPS significantly decreased cell viability, and enhanced cell apoptosis and IL-6, MCP-1 expression. Then GEN administration alleviated inflammatory injury by increasing cell viability, while reducing apoptosis, and IL-6 and MCP-1 expression. GEN downregulated miR-27a expression which was induced by LPS. Transfection with miR-27a mimic partially eliminated the protective effects of GEN. The phosphorylation of JNK and c-Jun was downregulated by GEN while upregulated by miR-27a overexpression. GEN alleviates LPS-induced AR42J cell injury as evidenced by promoting cell growth, and upregulation of IL-6 and MCP-1. This process might be modulated by down-regulating miR-27a and inactivation of JNK pathway.

Going up and lying over in congruence-modular algebras
Authors: Georgescu George , Mureşan Claudia 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
In this paper, we extend properties Going Up and Lying Over from ring theory to the general setting of congruence-modular equational classes, using the notion of prime congruence defined through the commutator. We show how these two properties relate to each other, prove that they are preserved by finite direct products and quotients and provide algebraic and topological characterizations for them. We also point out many kinds of varieties in which these properties always hold, generalizing the results of Belluce on MV-algebras and Rasouli and Davvaz on BL-algebras.

John Dewey’s Theory of Aesthetic Experience: Bridging the Gap Between Arts and Sciences
Authors: Ruoppa Raine 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
John Dewey’s philosophical pragmatism offers a reformatory approach to the arduous relationship between natural sciences and humanities. The crucial issue, which Dewey sets himself to resolve, is the pre-Darwinian influence of classical philosophy upon various scholarly practices. Ancient background assumptions still today permeate a considerable proportion of academic research and argumentation on both sides of the debate. Even evolutionary accounts appear to be affected. In order to avoid the often implicit, but nonetheless problematic, consequences that ensue from such archaic premises, I examine Dewey’s reappraisal of the concepts of art, science and knowledge. An analysis of these key concepts renders it possible to understand the proper function of aesthetic experience. In this paper, natural constitution of an aesthetic experience, which carries one of the intrinsic relations between art and science, comprises the core of the proposed solution. Furthermore, establishment of an integral aesthetic connection forms a fruitful basis for further bridging of the gap between hard sciences and humanities.
Short- and Long-Term Growth as a Function of Abnormal Doppler Flow in Growth-Restricted Fetuses
Authors: Ross John W. , Betz Alexandria , Paglia Michael J. , Feng Wen , Neubert A. George , Mackeen A. Dhanya 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate short- and long-term growth in fetuses with growth restriction (FGR) and elevated umbilical artery Doppler (UAD) systolic/diastolic (S/D) ratios.
METHODS: In this prospective observational study, two UAD waveforms were obtained from each umbilical artery weekly and were classified as normal or abnormal. Fetal growth was assessed every 3 weeks. Short-term growth was calculated from the first visit with elevated ratios until next growth assessment. Results were grouped by number of initial elevated S/D ratios (maximum, 4). Long-term growth was evaluated by change in estimated fetal weight from diagnosis of FGR to birth weight. Fetuses were grouped by average number of elevated S/D ratios and compared to a reference population of growth restricted fetuses with normal testing.
RESULTS: Of 241 fetuses evaluated, 105 demonstrated elevated S/D ratios. Short-term growth was impaired when fetuses had elevated S/D ratios. Long-term growth was affected when the average number of elevated S/D ratios was ≥1 per visit. Progressive 3 or 4 growth delay was noted as the average number of abnormal S/D ratios increased.
CONCLUSIONS: Short- and long-term fetal growth are affected by elevated UAD S/D ratios. Fetuses with more abnormal values initially and those with a higher average of elevated values over pregnancy demonstrate decreased growth.
Unsteady Numerical Simulation in a Supersonic Compressor Cascade with a Strong Shock Wave
Authors: Chen Shaowen , Meng Qinghe , Liu Yueqi , Liu Hongyan , Wang Songtao 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The most important flow behaviour of supersonic compressor cascades is the shock wave boundary layer interaction (SWBLI). Large eddy simulation (LES) and multiple analysing methods are applied in current study to capture more details of the flow field. It is noted that the LES can catch the dual peaks feature near the SWBLI region with respect to the experimental results. Besides, SWBLI is not only the main losses source in the cascade, but also the most important origin of the unsteadiness behaviour. The high frequency signals correspond to the coherent structure in the boundary layer and dissipate downstream in the cascade, while the low frequency signals relate to the motion of the reflection point of the passage oblique shock wave and dominate the frequency spectrum downstream.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
The resource utilization of phosphogypsum (PG) can reduce the consumption of resources, turn waste into valuables, turn damage into profit, and form a green recycling economy of “resources-products-regenerated resources.” The article, combined with the comprehensive utilization of PG, analyzes the existing problems. Using lime neutralization to pretreat PG, the pH value, mortar consistency and setting time, activation index, and physical properties as well as the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy examination with lime dosage are discussed. The results show that the performance of the obtained mixture powder activation index was better when it was weakly acidic; it is suggested that the optimal pH value range of lime neutralization for modified PG was about 4.52. The physical properties of PG are greatly affected by the lime content, and the influence mechanism was analyzed. It is anticipated that the results of the present study will be useful in utilizing the waste materials (fly ash, PG) for various geotechnical applications.
“Under the Existing Rules”: Anne Lister and the Halifax Literary and Philosophical Society
Authors: Ulph Cassandra 
Published: March 2019

Cassandra Ulph, “‘Under the Existing Rules’: Anne Lister and the Halifax Literary and Philosophical Society” (pp. 462–485)
Anne Lister’s membership in the Halifax Literary and Philosophical Society is considered here as an early example of a woman admitted to such a society. Lister’s membership in this Society, and the Society’s decision to admit her, illuminates much about women’s participation in civic and intellectual life in this period, and more particularly about Lister’s particular status in her hometown of Halifax. This essay investigates the extent to which Lister’s membership in the Society constituted true participation and how it intersected with, and compared to, other formal and informal kinds of intellectual and associational activities available to women in the period. It also explores the ways in which such institutions themselves imagined their role in society extending beyond their membership through largely patriarchal models of diffusion.
Switch from tablet levothyroxine to oral solution resolved reduced absorption by intestinal parasitosis
Authors: Tortora Anna , La Sala Domenico , Vitale Mario 
Published: March 2019

Summary
Reduced intestinal absorption of levothyroxine (LT4) is the most common cause of failure to achieve an adequate therapeutic target in hypothyroid patients under replacement therapy. We present the case of a 63-year-old woman with autoimmune hypothyroidism previously well-replaced with tablet LT4 who became unexpectedly no more euthyroid. At presentation, the patient reported the onset of acute gastrointestinal symptoms characterized by nausea, loss of appetite, flatulence, abdominal cramps and diarrhea, associated with increase of thyrotropin levels (TSH: 11 mIU/mL). Suspecting a malabsorption disease, a thyroxine solid-to-liquid formulation switch, at the same daily dose, was adopted to reach an optimal therapeutic target despite the gastrointestinal symptoms persistence. Oral LT4 solution normalized thyroid hormones. Further investigations diagnosed giardiasis, and antibiotic therapy was prescribed. This case report is compatible with a malabsorption syndrome caused by an intestinal parasite (Giardia lamblia). The reduced absorption of levothyroxine was resolved by LT4 oral solution.

Learning points:

The failure to adequately control hypothyroidism with oral levothyroxine is a common clinical problem.

Before increasing levothyroxine dose in a patient with hypothyroidism previously well-controlled with LT4 tablets but no more in appropriate therapeutic target, we suggest to investigate non adhesion to LT4 therapy, drug or food interference with levothyroxine absorption, intestinal infection, inflammatory intestinal disease, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, short bowel syndrome after intestinal or bariatric surgery, hepatic cirrhosis and congestive heart failure.

LT4 oral solution has a better absorptive profile than the tablet. In hypothyroid patients affected by malabsorption syndrome, switch of replacement therapy from tablet to liquid LT4 should be tested before increasing the dose of LT4.
