Published: July 2019

Fish otolith is a product of biomineralization in the fish body. In several studies, otolith ha been used to estimate fish age that is a crucial parameter to describe fish population and sustainable management of the fish stock. Otolith occurs in all teleosts, i.e. sagitta, utrikulus, and lagena. Until now, the morphometric characteristics of Decapterus akaadsi, Carangidae, otolith have not been described yet, particularly its microstructure, such as length, width, area, perimeer, and biomineral element.The otolith of D. akaadsi was studied on sagittal pair samples (left and right) of 29 males and 22 females. The image of these otoliths was assessed using ImageJ application to describe length, width, perimeter, and area of the otolith. Total body length of D.akaadsi samples was found not significant to determine the major descriptor of the otolith. Morphomeric variations of length (2.24 mm) and width (5.26 mm) did not show difference between left otolith and right otolith as between male and female otoliths.Growth pattern analysis found t cal. > t tab. meaning that males, females, and male-female mixture had allometric growth.Keyword: scad, Decapterus akaadsi, otolith, morphometric, growth patten.ABSTRAKOtolith atau batu telinga ikan dikenal sebagai hasil dari biomineralisasi yang berlangsung dalam tubuh ikan.

Instead we present a suite of models that assume the planet’s interior rotates on cylinders, which allows us to match all the observed even gravity harmonics. For every interior model, the gravity field is calculated self-consistently with high precision using the Concentric Maclaurin Spheroid method. We present an acceleration technique for this method, which drastically reduces the computational cost, allows us to efficiently optimize model parameters and map out allowed parameter regions with Monte Carlo sampling, and increases the precision of the calculated J

gravity harmonics to match the error bars of the observations, which would be difficult without acceleration. Based on our models, Saturn is predicted to have a dense central core of ∼15–18 Earth masses and an additional 1.5–5 Earth masses of heavy elements in the envelope. Finally, we vary the rotation period in the planet’s deep interior and determine the resulting oblateness, which we compare with the value from radio occultation measurements by the Voyager spacecraft. We predict a rotation period of 10:33:34 hr ± 55 s, which is in agreement with recent estimates derived from ring seismology.

Authors: Krackow Kenneth A , Pepe Catherine L , Galloway Elizabeth J 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
The quantitative effect of flexion and rotation on apparent varus/valgus deformity was analyzed, and the expected amount of deformity as a function of flexion rotational artifact determined, as shown by use of formulae and tabulated computational results. These results were calculated first when no deformity was present initially, and also for varying amounts of initial deformity.
Modelling effect of valuable resources on franchise outlet performance: Dynamic sensing capability as mediator
Authors: Zimuto Jilson , Maritz Rachel 
Published: July 2019

Background: Competitive advantage and superior firm performance depend on resources and dynamic capabilities.Aim: This study aims to provide insight into the franchising industry where research on the value-dynamic sensing capability-performance relationship as part of the resource-based theory (RBT) seems to be novel. Drawing on the RBT, this study examines how valuable resources and dynamic sensing capability impact franchise outlet performance.Setting: Based on a cross-sectional design, a sample of 224 South African franchise outlet managers and owner-operators in the fast food and retailing categories was surveyed.Methods: Hypotheses were tested using a single-level structural equation model for value, dynamic sensing capability and performance.Results: The results contribute to research on RBT in the context of franchises by providing support for the assumption that firm resources and capabilities improve performance.Conclusion: The findings are expected to provide a strong base from which franchise managers and owner-operators can strategise for competitive advantage in an emerging economy like South Africa.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to determine the degree of conversion (DC) of two resin-based composites: a conventional nanohybrid composite and a bulk-fill flowable composite (SureFil® SDR™ flow). Materials and Methods: DC was evaluated at 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-mm depths at varying irradiation times (20 and 40 s) by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Disc-shaped specimens of varying depths were prepared and photoactivated with a third-generation light-emitting diode light-curing unit. The specimens were stored for 24 h in the dark at ambient temperature and pulverized into a fine powder which was mixed with potassium bromide. After homogenization, the mixture pressed to form a pellet. All pellets were evaluated by an infrared spectrometer equipped with a triglycine sulfate detector using diffuse reflectance. The percentage of monomer conversion was determined from the ratio of the absorbance intensities of the aliphatic carbon–carbon double bonds (C = C) and the internal standard before and after the curing of the composite, represented by the aromatic carbon–carbon single bonds (C-C). Results: The DC data for the bulk-fill resin showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) for different irradiation depths, whereas for the conventional nanohybrid resins, statistical analyses revealed a significant result of the variables time and depth as well as the interaction between them. Conclusions: The results indicated that SDR™ achieves a 4-mm depth of cure with both 20- and 40-s light exposures.
Comparison of miller’s classification of gingival recession defects with mahajan’s classification of gingival recession defect: A reliability study
Authors: Mahajan Ajay , Asi Kanwarjit Singh , Rayast Deepa , Negi Mayum 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background: Gingival recession is a common periodontal problem encountered in most populations. A number of classification systems are available to classify gingival recession defects (GRDs), but there has been a lack of consensus among the clinicians regarding the choice of classification system to classify GRDs. Recently, Miller’s classification has been criticized owing to its inherent limitations. Mahajan’s classification was proposed to eliminate the drawbacks of Miller’s classification system. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no study testing or comparing the reliability of Miller’s classification; therefore, the present study was done to compare the reliability of Miller’s classification with Mahajan’s classification. Materials and Methods: The sites selected for the study were classified for GRD according to either Miller’s classification or Mahajan’s classification by the two groups of four examiners. All the examiners were calibrated for the two classification systems and classified the selected sites accordingly. Kappa statistics was performed to analyze the intra- and interrater agreement among the four examiners. Results: A total of 609 gingival recession sites in 91 patients (49 males and 42 females) were classified. At the end of the study, Mahajan’s classification had a higher intrarater (κ = 0.93–0.83) and interrater reliability (κ = 0.93) compared to Miller’s classification for GRD for both intrarater (κ = 0.57–0.68) and interrater observations (κ = 0.66), respectively. Conclusions: Miller’s classification system was less reliable than Mahajan’s classification system.
Parental Leave for Residents at Programs Affiliated With the Top 50 Medical Schools
Authors: Gottenborg Emily , Rock Lindsay , Sheridan Alison 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT

Background
Of the top 15 medical schools with affiliated graduate medical education (GME) programs, 8 offer paid parental leave, with an average duration of 6.6 weeks. It is not known how other GME programs approach parental leave.

Objective
We searched for the parental leave policies for residents in programs affiliated with the top 50 medical schools.

Methods
In 2019, we identified the top 50 medical schools designated by US News & World Report in the research and primary care categories (totaling 59 schools), and identified the associated GME programs. For each school, we accessed its website and searched for “GME Policies and Procedures” to find language related to maternity, paternity, or parental leave, or the Family Medical Leave Act. If unavailable, we e-mailed the GME office to identify the policy.

Results
Of 59 schools, 25 (42%) described paid parental leave policies with an average of 5.1 weeks paid leave; 11 of those (44%) offer ≤ 4 weeks paid parental leave. Twenty-five of 59 (42%) programs did not have paid parental leave, but 13 of these specify that residents can use sick or vacation time to pay for part of their parental leave. Finally, 13 of 59 (22%) offered state mandated partial paid leave. One school did not have any description of parental leave.

Conclusions
While paid parental leave for residents has been adopted by many of the GME programs affiliated with the top 50 medical schools, it is not yet a standard benefit offered to the majority of residents.
Multi-decadal hydrologic change and variability in the Amazon River basin: understanding terrestrial water storage variations and drought characteristics
Authors: Chaudhari Suyog , Pokhrel Yadu , Moran Emilio , Miguez-Macho Gonzalo 
Published: July 2019

Abstract. We investigate the interannual and interdecadal
hydrological changes in the Amazon River basin and its sub-basins during
the 1980–2015 period using GRACE satellite data and a physically based, 2 km
grid continental-scale hydrological model (LEAF-Hydro-Flood) that includes a
prognostic groundwater scheme and accounts for the effects of land use–land
cover (LULC) change. The analyses focus on the dominant mechanisms that
modulate terrestrial water storage (TWS) variations and droughts. We find
that (1) the model simulates the basin-averaged TWS variations remarkably
well; however, disagreements are observed in spatial patterns of temporal
trends, especially for the post-2008 period. (2) The 2010s is the driest
period since 1980, characterized by a major shift in the decadal mean compared
to the 2000s caused by increased drought frequency. (3) Long-term trends in TWS
suggest that the Amazon overall is getting wetter (1.13 mm yr−1), but its
southern and southeastern sub-basins are undergoing significant negative TWS
changes, caused primarily by intensified LULC changes. (4) Increasing
divergence between dry-season total water deficit and TWS release suggests a
strengthening dry season, especially in the southern and southeastern
sub-basins. (5) The sub-surface storage regulates the propagation of
meteorological droughts into hydrological droughts by strongly modulating
TWS release with respect to its storage preceding the drought condition. Our
simulations provide crucial insight into the importance of sub-surface storage
in alleviating surface water deficit across Amazon and open pathways for
improving prediction and mitigation of extreme droughts under changing
climate and increasing hydrologic alterations due to human activities (e.g.,
LULC change).
Pre-operative Diagnosis of Scar Endometriosis by Aspiration Cytology
Authors: Handa Uma , Mundi Irneet , Mohan Harsh 
Published: July 2019

Purpose Endometriosis is a fairly common disease found in a variety of extra-uterine locations. Abdominal wall scar endometriosis usually presents as a cutaneous or subcutaneous mass which can be investigated easily by the noninvasive method of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Methods FNA was performed by a cytopathologist on three patients presenting with varying sized swellings near the cesarean section scar. Results The cytologic smears revealed a combination of epithelial cells, stromal cells, and variable number of hemosiderin-laden macrophages. A diagnosis of endometriosis was provided on FNAC and later confirmed on histopathology. Conclusions FNAC is a valuable, cost-effective. and safe tool for diagnosing scar endometriosis and thus permits correct management of the patient.

The Philosophical Case for Robot Friendship
Authors: Danaher John 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT
Friendship is an important part of the good life. While many roboticists are eager to create friendlike robots, many philosophers and ethicists are concerned. They argue that robots cannot really be our friends, but can only fake the emotional and behavioral cues we associate with friendship. Consequently, we should resist the drive to create robot friends. In this article, I argue that the philosophical critics are wrong. Using the classic virtue-ideal of friendship, I argue that robots can plausibly be considered our virtue friends—that to do so is philosophically reasonable. Furthermore, I argue that even if robots cannot be our virtue friends, they can fulfil other important friendship roles, and can complement and enhance the virtue friendships between human beings.
Cyborgs’ Perception, Cognition, Society, Environment, and Ethics: Interview with Neil Harbisson and Moon Ribas, 14 October 2016, Ace Hotel, New York City
Authors: Alcaraz Aleksandra Łukaszewicz 
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACTThe article contains an interview conducted with Neil Harbisson and Moon Ribas during research at Temple University in Philadelphia (funded by the Kosciuszko Foundation), at the invitation of professor Joseph Margolis, as part of a larger forthcoming research project—a monograph on cyborg persons. It asks how the artefactual senses implanted by Harbisson and Ribas affect their perception and cognition, allowing consideration of how these two cyborg persons redefine their relationships to the environment in both social and ecological terms. Harbisson and Ribas are case studies for answering the question of how new cyborg senses (obtained by inserting implants into their bodies) change their beliefs and attitudes toward their own bodies, the bodies of others, and the world at large. I seek to identify changes in the knowledge of the world experienced by cyborg persons, trying to understand their perceptual and emotional experience of the world.

La théorie de la noyade émotive virtuelle : une théorisation ancrée sur le processus de recherche d’aide d’adolescents à risque de suicide
Authors: Rassy Jessica , Mathieu Luc , Michaud Cécile , Monday Tim , Raymond Sylvie , Bonin Jean-Pierre 
Published: July 2019

De plus en plus d’adolescents à risque de suicide se tournent vers les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) pour chercher de l’aide. Or, à ce jour, aucune étude n’a exploré le processus de recherche d’aide par les TIC chez des adolescents à risque de suicide. Afin de pallier cette situation, une étude par théorisation ancrée a été menée afin de comprendre le processus de recherche d’aide par les TIC des adolescents ayant un risque suicidaire pour trouver des ressources concernant le suicide. La collecte de données a été effectuée à partir d’entrevues individuelles semi-structurées, d’un questionnaire sur la recherche d’aide par les TIC et d’observations d’une recherche d’aide réelle via les TIC par les adolescents de l’étude. Un n de 15 adolescents âgés de 13 à 17 ans a été atteint par saturation théorique. Les résultats ont permis l’émergence de la théorie de la noyade émotive virtuelle. Cette théorie permet d’abord de mieux comprendre le contexte initial de cette recherche d’aide, soit l’état du jeune, l’environnement social, les facteurs aggravants ainsi que le désir d’utiliser les TIC. Elle permet aussi de comprendre les différentes stratégies par les TIC utilisées par les jeunes (se distraire, s’informer, se dévoiler et aider les autres) ainsi que les conséquences engendrées (la croissance émotive, l’obtention d’aide, le soulagement temporaire, aucun changement, l’exacerbation des idées suicidaires ou le passage à l’acte). Des recommandations pour la clinique, la formation et la recherche sont ensuite émises.
