China and Venezuela: South-South Cooperation or Rearticulated Dependency?
Authors: To Emma Miriam Yin-Hang , Acuña Rodrigo 
Published: November 2018

China’s increased participation in the world market and its consequent demand for energy has contributed to exacerbating the vulnerability of many externally oriented resource-rich countries. As a consequence, since the early 2000s the relationship between China and Venezuela has gone far beyond trade to an “energy cooperation” model with joint ventures and development funds not only in oil but also in nonresource sectors of the Venezuelan economy. Despite massive increases in social expenditure, Latin American theorists arguing from a neo-dependency perspective have questioned the long-term benefits of this so-called cooperation. They have characterized the relationship as “neoextractivist” in reference to the historically dependent relationship between Latin America and countries in the Global North. Whether the relationship is seen as based on South-South cooperation or on rearticulated global political and economic inequalities depends on whether the focus is on the behavior of the Chinese state and Chinese companies or on bilateral agreements between the two states. Although politically the relationship is based on cooperation, economically it displays many of the structural problems that Venezuela has faced since the discovery of oil. La mayor participación de China en el mercado mundial y la consiguiente demanda de energía han contribuido a exacerbar la vulnerabilidad de muchos países ricos en recursos con orientación externa. Como consecuencia, desde principios de la década de 2000, la relación entre China y Venezuela ha ido mucho más allá del comercio a un modelo de “cooperación energética” con empresas conjuntas y fondos de desarrollo no solo en el sector petrolero sino también en los sectores de la economía venezolana fuera de los recursos. A pesar de los aumentos masivos en el gasto social, los teóricos latinoamericanos que argumentan desde una perspectiva neo-dependentista han cuestionado los beneficios a largo plazo de esta llamada cooperación. Han caracterizado la relación como "neoextractivista" en referencia a la relación históricamente dependiente entre América Latina y los países del Norte Global. Si se considera que la relación se basa en la cooperación Sur-Sur o en desigualdades políticas y económicas globales rearticuladas depende de si la atención se centra en el comportamiento del estado chino y las empresas chinas o en los acuerdos bilaterales entre los dos estados. Aunque políticamente la relación se basa en la cooperación, económicamente muestra muchos de los problemas estructurales que Venezuela ha enfrentado desde el descubrimiento del petróleo.
Combination long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotic medication in adolescents with severe psychosis and aggression: a case series
Authors: McInnis Peter , Kasinathan John 
Published: November 2018

Objectives: We examine the use of combination long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotic medication for adolescents with severe psychosis and aggression. We discuss benefits and risks with this approach, for a highly challenging small group of young people. Methods: A clinical summary is given of three adolescents admitted to a secure adolescent forensic inpatient unit, and the literature is reviewed. Results: In these adolescents with severe psychosis, aggression and violent offending, combination LAI antipsychotics effectively treated psychosis and enabled transfer to less restrictive settings. Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) scores decreased significantly with treatment, without any severe adverse effects. Conclusions: Combination LAI antipsychotics may be an effective treatment for adolescents with severe psychosis and aggression where clozapine is not a realistic therapeutic option. Close monitoring for side-effects, clear documentation of clinical reasoning and appropriate safeguards are important.
Metabolic risk in patients participating in residential rehabilitation programs: how are we doing?
Authors: Meehan Tom , Jones Donna , Stedman Terry 
Published: November 2018

Objectives: To examine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its association with clinical, demographic and lifestyle factors in patients with mental illness participating in residential rehabilitation. Methods: A physical health audit of all consumers ( n = 364) in publicly funded residential rehabilitation programs in Queensland was carried out in late 2016. Data collection focused on clinical, demographic and lifestyle factors associated with physical health. Results: Central obesity was identified in 80% of males and 89% of females and half of the patients (49.4%) met criteria for metabolic syndrome (MetS). The prevalence of MetS in Indigenous patients (66.1%) was 20% higher than the rate found in non-Indigenous patients (46.1%). Smoking, substance abuse, gender, Indigenous background, length of stay and rarely eating fruit and vegetables were individually associated with MetS. Conclusions: The prevalence of MetS in this cohort is almost double that of the general population, while the rate in Indigenous patients is among the highest reported for those with mental illness. Rehabilitation staff are encouraged to engage more fully in the monitoring of physical health status, sharing this information with consumers and primary care providers, and encouraging consumers to play a greater role in managing their physical health.

Published: November 2018

Objective: To assess the feasibility of a novel surgical technique in painful blind eyes. Design: A prospective safety study conducted at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Participants/samples: A total of 15 end-stage glaucomatous eyes without light perception vision. Methods: After implantation, conjunctival hyperemia, discharge, erosion, aqueous humor leakage, corneal edema, hyphema, anterior chamber cells and depth, dislocation of the implant, and filtering bleb height were assessed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy. Intraocular pressure was measured preoperatively and 24 months following surgery. A numerical rating scale was used to evaluate pain. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography was also assessed. Results: Laminar drainage implant surgery was performed in all patients without major complications. Mean intraocular pressure was significantly reduced after surgery without hypotensive medication (preoperatively 54.5 ± 5.1 mmHg vs 24 months after surgery 37.0 ± 15.4 mmHg, p = 0.003). Subjective ocular pain intensity also reduced (preoperatively 10 vs at 24-month follow-up visits 0). Corneal edema incidence reduced from 85.7% (95% confidence interval: 57.2%–98.2%) to 16.7% (95% confidence interval: 2.1%–48.4%) at the 24-month follow-up. No patients experienced a prolonged flat anterior chamber or erosion of overlying tissues. Conclusion: The surgery was feasible and safe in painful blind eyes.
The effect of conjoint tendon release on gait after direct anterior total hip arthroplasty
Authors: Zomar Bryn O , Bryant Dianne , Hunter Susan , Howard James L , Lanting Brent A 
Published: November 2018

Introduction: There has been considerable interest in the direct anterior (DA) approach to total hip arthroplasty (THA) recently. To facilitate exposure of the proximal femur it is sometimes necessary to release the conjoint tendon. Aim: To prospectively investigate whether release of the conjoint tendon has an impact on gait in the early postoperative period. Methods: We measured gait velocity, stride length, single-limb support and single-limb support symmetry preoperatively, at discharge from the hospital, and 2, 6 and 12 weeks and postoperatively. Participants also completed the Timed Up and Go and a series of questionnaires (WOMAC, SF-12, Harris Hip Score, and pain VAS) at each visit. Results: 36 participants undergoing a DA THA with a single surgeon were enrolled in this study. 22 participants had a release of the conjoint tendon during their surgery. We found no differences between the groups for any gait, patient-reported or surgical outcomes ( p < 0.05). There was a total of 3 complications reported in the release group, and 1 complication in the group that did not have a release. Conclusion: Although the conjoint tendon has an important role in the biomechanics of the hip, we found release of the conjoint tendon during the DA approach for THA to have no impact on gait or patient reported outcomes within 12 weeks post-surgery. Therefore, if the exposure of the proximal femur is limited, a low threshold for release of the conjoint tendon is recommended to improve visualisation.
The Restorative Value of the Urban Environment: A Systematic Review of the Existing Literature
Authors: Weber Anke Maria , Trojan Jörg 
Published: November 2018

Background: Stress poses a major issue in our modern society, making restoration an important research focus. Restoration likelihood has mostly been observed in nature, which was compared with urban environments that have little restorative potential, eg, industrial areas. However, many people reside in and need to find restoration in cities. The main aim of this review is to summarize research that has focused on investigating restoration possibilities in urban environments and the environmental elements interacting with the restoration likelihood of an urban environment. Method: This review focuses on studies addressing the topic of restoration possibilities in urban settings in built and human-made natural urban environments. The studies were searched via Google Scholar, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, and PSYNDEX. All studies concerned with restoration in urban environments were included. However, studies concerned with nonoriginal data, solely investigating effects of natural environments or treating urban environments as a control for restoration in nature, were excluded from the review. Overall, 39 studies corresponded to the criteria and were included. Results: Natural elements in urban environments have a restorative potential and can increase the restorativeness of urban settings. Furthermore, built urban environments vary in their restorative potential, but promising results have been uncovered as well. Architectural elements, cultural, and leisure areas had a restorative value, whereas the findings on streets and residential areas differ. In sum, many urban locations can have restorative effects, but these effects may be influenced by factors such as cultural background, age, social components, and individual dispositions. Discussion: Certain urban environments hold a restorative potential. However, the literature on restoration in urban environments is still quite scarce and therefore has been of little practical use. Even though applying the findings to real-life environments is desirable, it might prove difficult, considering the overall sparse evidence. More research on the predictors of restoration likelihood (eg, social factors), generational and cultural differences, and comparisons between natural and urban environments is recommended.
3D face recognition: a survey
Authors: Zhou Song , Xiao Sheng 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
3D face recognition has become a trending research direction in both industry and academia. It inherits advantages from traditional 2D face recognition, such as the natural recognition process and a wide range of applications. Moreover, 3D face recognition systems could accurately recognize human faces even under dim lights and with variant facial positions and expressions, in such conditions 2D face recognition systems would have immense difficulty to operate. This paper summarizes the history and the most recent progresses in 3D face recognition research domain. The frontier research results are introduced in three categories: pose-invariant recognition, expression-invariant recognition, and occlusion-invariant recognition. To promote future research, this paper collects information about publicly available 3D face databases. This paper also lists important open problems.
Genetic accommodation and the role of ancestral plasticity in the evolution of insect eusociality
Authors: Jones Beryl M. , Robinson Gene E. 
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT
For over a century, biologists have proposed a role for phenotypic plasticity in evolution, providing an avenue for adaptation in addition to ‘mutation-first’ models of evolutionary change. According to the various versions of this idea, the ability of organisms to respond adaptively to their environment through phenotypic plasticity may lead to novel phenotypes that can be screened by natural selection. If these initially environmentally induced phenotypes increase fitness, then genetic accommodation can lead to allele frequency change, influencing the expression of those phenotypes. Despite the long history of ‘plasticity-first’ models, the importance of genetic accommodation in shaping evolutionary change has remained controversial – it is neither fully embraced nor completely discarded by most evolutionary biologists. We suggest that the lack of acceptance of genetic accommodation in some cases is related to a lack of information on its molecular mechanisms. However, recent reports of epigenetic transgenerational inheritance now provide a plausible mechanism through which genetic accommodation may act, and we review this research here. We also discuss current evidence supporting a role for genetic accommodation in the evolution of eusociality in social insects, which have long been models for studying the influence of the environment on phenotypic variation, and may be particularly good models for testing hypotheses related to genetic accommodation. Finally, we introduce ‘eusocial engineering’, a method by which novel social phenotypes are first induced by environmental modification and then studied mechanistically to understand how environmentally induced plasticity may lead to heritable changes in social behavior. We believe the time is right to incorporate genetic accommodation into models of the evolution of complex traits, armed with new molecular tools and a better understanding of non-genetic heritable elements.

UK circulating strains of human parainfluenza 3: an amplicon based next generation sequencing method and phylogenetic analysis
Authors: Smielewska Anna , Emmott Edward , Ranellou Kyriaki , Popay Ashley , Goodfellow Ian , Jalal Hamid 
Published: November 2018

Background:Human parainfluenza viruses type 3 (HPIV3) are a prominent cause of respiratory infection with a significant impact in both pediatric and transplant patient cohorts. Currently there is a paucity of whole genome sequence data that would allow for detailed epidemiological and phylogenetic analysis of circulating strains in the UK. Although it is known that HPIV3 peaks annually in the UK, to date there are no whole genome sequences of HPIV3 UK strains available. Methods:Clinical strains were obtained from HPIV3 positive respiratory patient samples collected between 2011 and 2015. These were then amplified using an amplicon based method, sequenced on the Illumina platform and assembled using a new robust bioinformatics pipeline. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out in the context of other epidemiological studies and whole genome sequence data currently available with stringent exclusion of significantly culture-adapted strains of HPIV3.Results:In the current paper we have presented twenty full genome sequences of UK circulating strains of HPIV3 and a detailed phylogenetic analysis thereof. We have analysed the variability along the HPIV3 genome and identified a short hypervariable region in the non-coding segment between the M (matrix) and F (fusion) genes. The epidemiological classifications obtained by using this region and whole genome data were then compared and found to be identical.Conclusions:The majority of HPIV3 strains were observed at different geographical locations and with a wide temporal spread, reflecting the global distribution of HPIV3. Consistent with previous data, a particular subcluster or strain was not identified as specific to the UK, suggesting that a number of genetically diverse strains circulate at any one time. A small hypervariable region in the HPIV3 genome was identified and it was shown that, in the absence of full genome data, this region could be used for epidemiological surveillance of HPIV3.
Protecting Scientists from Gordon Gekko: How Organizations Use Hybrid Spaces to Engage with Multiple Institutional Logics
Authors: Perkmann Markus , McKelvey Maureen , Phillips Nelson 
Published: November 2018

Previous work on institutional complexity has discussed two solutions that organizations internally deploy when externally engaging with multiple institutional logics: blended hybrids, in which logics are combined throughout the organization, and structural hybrids, in which different logics dominate in different compartments within the organization. While blended hybrids have been extensively investigated, few studies have examined how structural hybrids are constructed and maintained. We address this imbalance by studying university–industry research centers as instances of distinct organizational spaces used to engage with a minority logic. We found that these spaces require three kinds of work: (a) leveraging, where dominant logic practices are drawn on to achieve minority logic objectives; (b) hybridizing, where the practices inside the space are modified to allow engagement with the minority logic; and (c) bolstering, where the space is shielded against excessive minority logic influence and anchored back into the organization. Furthermore, contrary to the existing literature, we found that the spaces were hybrid, rather than being dominated by a single logic. Our finding is likely generalizable across many instances of structural hybrids given the integration problems that organizations with pure single logic spaces would face, combined with the usefulness of hybrid spaces. Our study is novel in revealing the work needed to sustain hybrid spaces and questioning the previously held conceptualization of structural hybrids as made up of single-logic compartments.

Museu de momentos: poesia, memória e fotografia em Ana Martins Marques
Authors: Rocha Mariane Pereira , Martins Aulus Mandagará 
Published: November 2018

Este ensaio propõe-se a analisar as relações entre poesia, memória e fotografia na obra poética de Ana Martins Marques, particularmente nos poemas “Museu” e “Aparador”, de O livro das semelhanças (2015). Interessa-nos investigar de que modo a temática da memória se apresenta na poesia de Marques, sobretudo no que diz respeito à fotografia enquanto dispositivo de armazenamento do passado. Para tanto, as reflexões de Agamben (2007; 2009) sobre a museificação do mundo e a fotografia servem como suporte teórico desta reflexão. Verificamos, através deste estudo, que a fotografia, nos poemas de Ana Marques, não apenas procura captar ou registrar os fatos significativos de uma existência, mas sobretudo aquilo que é banal e insignificante, e, até mesmo, aquilo que não foi fotografado. Assim, a poeta propõe um museu de ninharias, de instantes banais, subvertendo o sentido comum atribuído à prática dos museus enquanto locais de armazenamento dos objetos e obras representativas da história e dos movimentos culturais ou artísticos.
À procura da palavra: silêncios
Authors: Oliveira Amaral Lara Luiza , Berloffa Tofalini Luzia Aparecida 
Published: November 2018

O homem do nosso século, para evitar o vazio, a mudez e o silêncio, vive rodeado pelos gritos da televisão, pelas buzinas dos automóveis, pelos discursos incessantes de terceiros. Ao partir do pressuposto de que esse sujeito se encontra na corda bamba do silêncio, equilibrando-se em palavras vagas, imperfeitas, inconclusas e mal posicionadas, correndo o risco de cair dentro de si e escutar o barulho oco do seu interior, é que encetamos esta análise do texto de Uma menina está perdida em seu século à procura do pai, de Gonçalo M. Tavares. Trata-se da inserção de uma menina com trissomia 21 em um mundo caótico de guerra. Na qualidade de leitores, seguimos, em todo o texto, os passos silenciosos dela e de seu companheiro, Marius. Atados pela narrativa fragmentada de Tavares, buscamos demonstrar ocorrências de silêncios que estruturam seu romance. Para tanto, recorremos aos estudos de autores como Sontag (1987), Steiner (1988), Breton (1997), dentre outros.
Hierarchical Cognition Causes Task-Related Deactivations but Not Just in Default Mode Regions
Authors: Farooqui Ausaf A. , Manly Tom 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe well-known deactivation of the default mode network (DMN) during external tasks is usually thought to reflect the suppression of internally directed mental activity during external attention. In three experiments with human participants we organized sequences of task events identical in their attentional and control demands into larger task episodes. We found that DMN deactivation across such sequential events was never constant, but was maximum at the beginning of the episode, then decreased gradually across the episode, reaching baseline towards episode completion, with the final event of the episode eliciting an activation. Crucially, this pattern of activity was not limited to a fixed set of DMN regions but, across experiments, was shown by a variable set of regions expected to be uninvolved in processing the ongoing task. This change in deactivation across sequential but identical events showed that the deactivation cannot be related to attentional/control demands which were constant across the episode, instead, it has to be related to some episode related load that was maximal at the beginning and then decreased gradually as parts of the episode got executed. We argue that this load resulted from cognitive programs through which the entire episode was hierarchically executed as one unit. At the beginning of task episodes, programs related to their entire duration is assembled, causing maximal deactivation. As execution proceeds, elements within the program related to the completed parts of the episode dismantle, thereby decreasing the program load and causing a decrease in deactivation.
