Authors: Craig Debbie I. , Vogel Tanya 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT
With the significant increase in concussion research and focus in the media, it is important for strength and conditioning coaches and medical experts to be clear on sex differences between how female and male concussed athletes may experience a concussion. To that end, this article offers a review of this current research, along with practical applications of the research for coaches and clinicians who work with female athletes. How should we be working with concussed female athletes specifically to assure their optimal recovery and future brain health?

Published: October 2018

Abstract
Aluminum matrix composites are often preferred in automotive, aerospace, and ship building owing to their enhanced properties over conventional engineering aluminum alloys. In this article, the results of the investigations on the mechanical properties and sliding wear behavior of aluminum–tungsten carbide (WC) composites are presented and discussed. Metal matrix composites of Al6061 containing different percentages of WC were prepared by powder metallurgy techniques. All testing was conducted according to ASTM standards. The dry sliding wear tests were conducted at a constant velocity and load varying from 10 to 40 N. The composite density was found to increase with greater filler contents and is further in agreement with the values of theoretical density. The Brinell hardness and ultimate tensile strength of the composites increased with a greater ceramic phase and decreased filler size, with a decrease of percentage elongation. The dry sliding wear of the composites with WC reinforcement displayed the greater resistance to wear.
Comparison between Quench Tempering and Quasi Quench Partitioning Treatment on Structure and Mechanical Properties of Cr-Mo Steel
Authors: Garmeh Behdad , Amini Kamran 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of chromium-molybdenum steel, which is used in mining mills as a liner, were compared after quench and tempering (QT) and quenching and partitioning (QP). Quasi QP was performed by austenitizing and quenching to the exact martensite start temperature (Ms), with the partitioning procedure at an upper temperature Ms in a furnace (common QP is done in a salt bath, so this process is called quasi QP). The procedure was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. During the QP procedure, the bainitic ferrite is shaped, and carbon diffuses from the martensite and ferrite to the remaining austenite, but the microstructure of QT is a mixture of martensite and lower bainite. The mechanical properties were measured by a tensile test and Charpy impact test. Samples treated by QP had much higher strength and ductility than those treated by QT. The hardness and wearing weight loss of the QP process was less than QT, but the difference was not great.

Introduction: According to the interpersonal model of depression, individuals with depression engage in excessive reassurance-seeking (ERS) about others’ beliefs regarding their self-worth, which can ultimately result in interpersonal rejection. We present the novel hypothesis that maladaptive ERS behaviors in depression may be driven by difficulties with “theory of mind”—the foundational ability to decode and reason about others’ mental states.Method: Participants included 31 young adults in a current episode of a unipolar depressive disorder, and 91 never-depressed adults. Theory of mind was assessed with standard, objective laboratory tasks. Stressful life events were assessed with a gold-standard contextual interview and independent rating system.Results: Consistent with hypotheses, in the depressed group only, lower accuracy of theory of mind decoding was associated with greater ERS, which was significantly associated with exposure to greater interpersonal, but not non-interpersonal, stress. Surprisingly, higher accuracy of theory of mind reasoning was associated with greater ERS.Discussion: The intriguing dissociation is discussed in terms of expanding the interpersonal model of depression to include the foundational social cognitive processes that underlie effective social communication.

The immunopathological states of the brain induced by bacterial lipoproteins have been well characterized by using biochemical and histological assays. However, these studies have limitations in determining functional states of damaged brains involving aberrant synaptic activity and network, which makes it difficult to diagnose brain disorders during bacterial infection. To address this, we investigated the effect of Pam3CSK4(PAM), a synthetic bacterial lipopeptide, on synaptic dysfunction of female mice brains and cultured neurons in parallel. Our functional brain imaging using PET with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose and [18F] flumazenil revealed that the brain dysfunction induced by PAM is closely aligned to disruption of neurotransmitter-related neuronal activity and functional correlation in the region of the limbic system rather than to decrease of metabolic activity of neurons in the injection area. This finding was verified byin vivotissue experiments that analyzed synaptic and dendritic alterations in the regions where PET imaging showed abnormal neuronal activity and network. Recording of synaptic activity also revealed that PAM reorganized synaptic distribution and decreased synaptic plasticity in hippocampus. Further study usingin vitroneuron cultures demonstrated that PAM decreased the number of presynapses and the frequency of miniature EPSCs, which suggests PAM disrupts neuronal function by damaging presynapses exclusively. We also showed that PAM caused aggregation of synapses around dendrites, which may have caused no significant change in expression level of synaptic proteins, whereas synaptic number and function were impaired by PAM. Our findings could provide a useful guide for diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders specific to bacterial infection.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIt is challenging to diagnose brain disorders caused by bacterial infection because neural damage induced by bacterial products involves nonspecific neurological symptoms, which is rarely detected by laboratory tests with low spatiotemporal resolution. To better understand brain pathology, it is essential to detect functional abnormalities of brain over time. To this end, we investigated characteristic patterns of altered neuronal integrity and functional correlation between various regions in mice brains injected with bacterial lipopeptides using PET with a goal to apply new findings to diagnosis of brain disorder specific to bacterial infection. In addition, we analyzed altered synaptic density and function using bothin vivoandin vitroexperimental models to understand how bacterial lipopeptides impair brain function and network.
The Regulation of Cbf1 by PAS Kinase Is a Pivotal Control Point for Lipogenesis vs. Respiration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Published: October 2018

Abstract
PAS kinase 1 (Psk1) is a key regulator of respiration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Herein the molecular mechanisms of this regulation are explored through the characterization of its substrate, Centromere binding factor 1 (Cbf1). CBF1-deficient yeast displayed a significant decrease in cellular respiration, while PAS kinase-deficient yeast, or yeast harboring a Cbf1 phosphosite mutant (T211A) displayed a significant increase. Transmission electron micrographs showed an increased number of mitochondria in PAS kinase-deficient yeast consistent with the increase in respiration. Although the CBF1-deficient yeast did not appear to have an altered number of mitochondria, a mitochondrial proteomics study revealed significant differences in the mitochondrial composition of CBF1-deficient yeast including altered Atp3 levels, a subunit of the mitochondrial F1-ATP synthase complex. Both beta-galactosidase reporter assays and western blot analysis confirmed direct transcriptional control of ATP3 by Cbf1. In addition, we confirmed the regulation of yeast lipid genes LAC1 and LAG1 by Cbf1. The human homolog of Cbf1, Upstream transcription factor 1 (USF1), is also known to be involved in lipid biogenesis. Herein, we provide the first evidence for a role of USF1 in respiration since it appeared to complement Cbf1in vivo as determined by respiration phenotypes. In addition, we confirmed USF1 as a substrate of human PAS kinase (hPASK) in vitro. Combined, our data supports a model in which Cbf1/USF1 functions to partition glucose toward respiration and away from lipid biogenesis, while PAS kinase inhibits respiration in part through the inhibition of Cbf1/USF1.

Drought is an important abiotic factor where maize is grown under rainfall conditions. In order to identify drought resistant lines, 77 S5 maize lines from the breeding program at Cotaxtla, Veracruz and four CML maize lines from CIMMYTwere evaluated under irrigation (So) and drought stress (S1). Five indexes were applied to select drought tolerant lines. Four indexes use the grain yield as criteria for selection, these are, the drought index (DI), the arithmetic mean (AM), the geometric mean (GM), and the stress tolerance index (STI). The last index, (G+GxS), takes into consideration all the traits evaluated in the trial. In general, all measured characteristics were affected by the drought treatment. The DI the other indexes. DI selects germplasm with the lowest yields, while, AM, GM, STI and G+Gxs indexes selected the same lines and all of these displayed a superior mean yield in comparison to those that were selected by the DI index. Among the best 10%, five lines and the checks CML 273 y CML 274, were selected by most of the indexes. According with the results, the best option to select drought resistance material will be with the use of the G+GxS index.

Authors: Efrati Yaniv , Gola Mateusz 
Published: October 2018

Background and aimsThis two-study research was designed to define and predict profiles of compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) among non-clinical population of adolescents, and aimed to fill gaps in the current research.MethodsIn Study 1 (N = 1,182), we examined the profiles of CSB among adolescents using latent profile analysis. Results revealed the following three clusters: abstainers, sexual fantasizers, and individuals with CSB. In Study 2 (N = 618), we replicated this classification and examined differences between the clusters in Big Five personality traits, locus of control, attachment orientations, loneliness, age, gender, socioeconomic status (SES), residence quality, use of pornography, and sex-related online activities.ResultsAdolescents classified into different clusters significantly differed in personality traits, loneliness, age, SES, use of pornography, and sex-related online activities. Specifically, individuals with CSB had external locus of control, anxious attachment, greater loneliness, higher frequency of pornography use, and more sex-related online activities than the other groups.DiscussionThe current research expands the knowledge about CSB by providing a more individualized approach to understanding CSB among adolescence.
Who uses self-exclusion to regulate problem gambling? A systematic literature review
Authors: Motka Franziska , Grüne Bettina , Sleczka Pawel , Braun Barbara , Örnberg Jenny Cisneros , Kraus Ludwig 
Published: October 2018

Background and aims
Self-exclusion programs offer an intervention for individuals with problem gambling behavior. However, these programs are insufficiently used. This review describes sociodemographic features and gambling behavior of self-excluders as well as goals and motives for initiating self-exclusion from terrestrial and online gambling. In addition, use of further professional help and barriers to self-exclusion are examined.

Methods
Based on systematic literature search and quality assessment, n = 16 original studies (13 quantitative, 2 qualitative, and 1 mixed method) published between 1997 and 2017 in English or German language were analyzed. Results are presented for online and terrestrial gambling separately.

Results
Online self-excluders were on average 10 years younger than terrestrial self-excluders. Self-exclusion was mainly motivated by financial problems, followed by feelings of losing control and problems with significant others. Financial problems and significant others were less important for online than for terrestrial gamblers. Main barriers for self-exclusion were complicated enrollment processes, lack of complete exclusion from all venues, little support from venue staff, and lack of adequate information on self-exclusion programs. Both self-excluders from terrestrial and online gambling had negative attitudes toward the need of professional addiction care.

Conclusion
To exploit the full potential of self-exclusion as a measure of gambler protection, its acceptance and its utilization need to be increased by target-group-specific information addressing financial issues and the role of significant others, simplifying the administrative processes, facilitating self-exclusion at an early stage of the gambling career, offering self-determined exclusion durations, and promoting additional use of professional addiction care.

Object: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a disease associated with recurrent apnea-hypopneas during sleep. Apnea-hypopnea attacks cause hypoxia by lowering oxygen saturation levels. Oxidative stress induced by hypoxia can lead to inflammation and DNA damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intermittent hypoxia on oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA in severe OSAS patients. Methods: A total of 67 individuals were measured by polysomnography during the night. Peripheral ven blood was collected. Cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, hs-CRP, TAS and TOS values of all subjects were measured in blood serum by calorimetric method. The comet assay method was used to investigate DNA damage. Results: We found a statistically significant increase in oxidative stress and inflammation parameters in severe OSAS patients (p &lt;0.05). Furthermore, we could not detect the effect of severe OSAS disease on DNA damage. (p&gt;0,05). Conclusions: Our results showed that oxidative stress and inflammatory markers changed markedly in severe OSAS patients. However, the absence of DNA damage despite increased oxidative stress has been interpreted as hypoxia, which is not long enough to damage DNA and does not cause DNA damage alone.
Arte y Vida en Disolución: Aproximación a la Obra de Llorenç Barber
Authors: Garci­a Fernandez Isaac Diego 
Published: October 2018

This article reflects on the nature of the creative act in relation to the everyday world. In opposition to the formalist conception of the artistic work as anautonomous object, during the 20th century various authors tried to spotlight the dialectical relationship established between art and life. Particularly important was John Cage, who started, from Dadaism, a profound transformation in the field of experimental music. His thinking had a greatinfluence on several generations of musicians and sound artists. A case particularly revealing is Llorenç Barber, interdisciplinary artist and composer. Its proposals, which developed outside of the traditional concert rite, intend todilute the artistic work in its context. These are essentially shared listening situations in everyday environments. From among its creations, the ‘plurifocal’ concerts for city stand out: gigantic compositions designed for each urban layout, which acquire a dimension of art public. The objective ofthe musician is to intervene artistically the common space to be returned to the community in the form of collective celebration. Ultimately, through the study of the work and thinking of Barber, this text aims to explore the boundaries between music and life.

En este texto se estudia, dentro del contexto de la época, la decoración pictórica ejecutada por el pintor onubense Daniel Vázquez Díaz en el desaparecido café Calatravas (calle de Alcalá, núm. 31) de Madrid, en 1939. Este café fue el primero (entre los establecimientos de este tipo) en poner de manifiesto con su imagen (pintura, mobiliario, etc.) cómo el régimen franquista pretendió convertir el arte en política. Los muros de este lugar de encuentro y reunión fueron adornados con episodios que evocaban hechos de carácter mítico y legendario del período de la Roma antigua, dejando así constancia de su función política y social.
