Abstract
The equiatomic iron-silicides TFeSi as well as the corresponding germanides TFeGe with the electron-poor 4d and 5d transition metals (T=Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta) have been synthesized from the elements by arc-melting. All samples were characterized through their lattice parameters using powder X-ray diffraction (Guinier technique). Four structures were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: a=640.16(3), b=393.45(5), c=718.42(6) pm, Pnma, 390 F
2 values, 20 parameters, wR2=0.0294 for ZrFeSi (TiNiSi type), a=719.63(11), b=1119.27(7), c=649.29(7) pm, Ima2, 1103 F
2 values, 54 parameters, wR2=0.0555 for NbFeGe (TiFeSi type), a=655.96(7), c=372.54(4) pm, P6̅2m, 251 F
2 values, 15 parameters, wR2=0.0260 for HfFeGe (ZrNiAl type) and a=624.10(3), b=378.10(6), c=725.25(7) pm, Pnma, 369 F
2 values, 20 parameters, wR2=0.0513 for TaFeGe (TiNiSi type). The common structural motif of the four different structures is the slightly distorted tetrahedral tetrel (tr) coordination of the iron atoms and a trigonal prismatic coordination of iron by T=Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta. Three compounds were characterized as Pauli-paramagnetic by measuring their susceptibility. The measurement of the electrical resistivity of NbFeSi characterises this compound as a good metal. Furthermore, 57Fe Mössbauer spectra of all compounds could be obtained at room temperature, revealing a clear correlation between the structural distortions and the quadrupole splitting parameters.

Abstract
Bennett, H and Slattery, F. Effects of blood flow restriction training on aerobic capacity and performance: A systematic review. J Strength Cond Res 33(2): 572–583, 2019—Blood flow restriction (BFR) is a novel training method that can elicit training adaptations at low training intensities. Recent research has aimed to determine the effect of aerobic exercise with BFR on aerobic fitness and performance, with conflicting results. This review aimed to systematically identify and assess studies that have combined BFR with aerobic exercise in humans, establishing its effect on aerobic fitness and performance. Five databases (Medline, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, CINHAL, and ScienceDirect) were searched. Two authors independently conducted all searches and reviewed all abstracts, determining article suitability. The Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies was used to assess risk of bias in each study. Fourteen studies were included for analysis. Blood flow restriction aerobic exercise increased measures of aerobic fitness and performance in younger adults when using occlusion pressures ≥130 mm Hg. In older adults, measures of aerobic performance improved; however, measures of aerobic fitness remained unchanged. These findings must be interpreted with caution because methodological limitations were present in all trials. Short-term BFR aerobic exercise seems to offer a valid method of improving aerobic performance and fitness in healthy adults when using occlusion pressures ≥130 mm Hg. Conversely, it seems to strictly enhance aerobic performance in older adults without impacting aerobic fitness, potentially suggesting different mechanisms of adaptation between older and younger individuals. Despite methodological limitations, BFR aerobic exercise seems to have applications in scenarios where high-intensity aerobic exercise is not appropriate, although more high-quality research is needed to further demonstrate this.

Abstract
Broatch, JR, Bishop, DJ, Zadow, EK, and Halson, S. Effects of sports compression socks on performance, physiological, and hematological alterations after long-haul air travel in elite female volleyballers. J Strength Cond Res 33(2): 492–501, 2019—The purpose of this investigation was to assess the merit of sports compression socks in minimizing travel-induced performance, physiological, and hematological alterations in elite female volleyball athletes. Twelve elite female volleyballers (age, 25 ± 2 years) traveled from Canberra (Australia) to Manila (Philippines), and were assigned to 1 of 2 conditions; compression socks (COMP, n = 6) worn during travel or a passive control (CON, n = 6). Dependent measures included countermovement jump (CMJ) performance, subjective ratings of well-being, cardiovascular function, calf girth, and markers of blood clotting, collected before (−24 hours, CMJ; −12 hours, all measures), during (+6.5 and +9 hours, subjective ratings and cardiovascular function), and after (+12 hours, all measures except CMJ; +24 hours and +48 hours, CMJ) travel. When compared with CON, small-to-large effects were observed for COMP to improve heart rate (+9 hours), oxygen saturation (+6.5 hours and +9 hours), alertness (+6.5 hours), fatigue (+6.5 hours), muscle soreness (+6.5 hours and +9 hours), and overall health (+6.5 hours) during travel. After travel, small-to-moderate effects were observed for COMP to improve systolic blood pressure (+12 hours), right calf girth (+12 hours), CMJ height (+24 hours), mean velocity (+24 hours), and relative power (+48 hours), compared with CON. COMP had no effect on the markers of blood clotting. This study suggests that compression socks are beneficial in combating the stressors imposed by long-haul travel in elite athletes, and may have merit for individuals frequenting long-haul travel or competing soon after flying.

Published: December 2018

AbstractThere is ongoing interest for evaluating the potential of renewable base stocks, such as vegetable oils, to replace petroleum oils as metal quenchants. Perhaps the most critical part of this process is characterizing and comparing the cooling and heat transfer performance of potential quenchant candidates. In this work, cooling curves of two vegetable oils, palm oil and canola oil, were obtained along with a commercially available conventional and an accelerated petroleum quenchant using the so-called Tensi multiple thermocouple probe, with emphasis on the center probe emulating a small probe concept. The lumped-parameter approach was implemented in the MATLAB environment (Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA). Experimental quenching data along with temperature-dependent thermal properties for the Inconel probe material were used to quantify the cooling characteristics and heat transfer properties of two typical vegetable and petroleum oil quenchants. The results obtained exhibited a fundamental difference in the cooling characteristics between the vegetable oils and also between both vegetable oils and the petroleum oil quenchants evaluated. The focus of this article will be on the development of the computational codes and the use of MATLAB to perform these analyses.

Abstract
Phosphomannomutase 2 Deficiency (PMM2-CDG) is the most common monogenic congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) affecting at least 800 patients globally. PMM2 orthologs are present in model organisms, including the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene SEC53. Here we describe conserved genotype-phenotype relationships across yeast and human patients between five PMM2 loss-of-function missense mutations and their orthologous SEC53 mutations. These alleles range in severity from folding defective (hypomorph) to dimerization defective (severe hypomorph) to catalytic dead (null). We included the first and second most common missense mutations – R141H, F119L respectively– and the most common compound heterozygote genotype – PMM2R141H/F119L – observed in PMM2-CDG patients. Each mutation described is expressed in haploid as well as homozygous and heterozygous diploid yeast cells at varying protein expression levels as either SEC53 protein variants or PMM2 protein variants. We developed a 384-well-plate, growth-based assay for use in a screen of the 2,560-compound Microsource Spectrum library of approved drugs, experimental drugs, tool compounds and natural products. We identified three compounds that suppress growth defects of SEC53 variants, F126L and V238M, based on the biochemical defect of the allele, protein abundance or ploidy. The rare PMM2 E139K protein variant is fully functional in yeast cells, suggesting that its pathogenicity in humans is due to the underlying DNA mutation that results in skipping of exon 5 and a nonfunctional truncated protein. Together, these results demonstrate that yeast models can be used to characterize known and novel PMM2 patient alleles in quantitative growth and enzymatic activity assays, and used as patient avatars for PMM2-CDG drug screens yielding compounds that could be rapidly cross-validated in zebrafish, rodent and human organoid models.
‘She does not flee the house’
Authors: Matoesian Gregory , Gilbert Kristin Enola 
Published: December 2018

This article shows how an attorney's multimodal narrative transforms an opening statement into an argument about the credibility of the main prosecution witness. The defence attorney integrates speech, gestures and exhibits to shape motion events and spatial images into relevant objects of evidentiary knowledge, creating inconsistencies in the witness's account under the auspices of merely showing the jury locations and movements in the defendant's home. We demonstrate how the encoding of motion events percolates in and through a polyrhythmic and multidimensional poetic format to naturalise gender ideologies – cultural expectations governing victim identity – in the social construction of rape's legal facticity.

Published: December 2018

Hypothesis/aims of study. The present analysis was undertaken to summarize current knowledge about molecular properties of group B streptococci (GBS), emphasizing potential targets of vaccines against neonatal GBS infection.
Study design, materials, and methods. This review is based on articles published mainly in the last ten years.
Results. Epidemiological data on serotypes, multilocus sequence types, clonal complexes of GBS and their relationship are presented. Genetic events in GBS populations indicate significant obstacles to vaccine development. We described key properties of major GBS virulence factors, such as capsular polysaccharide, pili, and cell adhesion molecules, as well as results of experimental immunization on their basis.
Conclusion. The population of invasive GBS strains is molecularly and genetically heterogeneous, which complicates selection of vaccine targets. Capsular switching, a low level of immunogenicity and variability of population composition are the most important factors that necessitate the accumulation and monitoring of molecular epidemiological data.
DETERMINANTS OF TURKISH STOCK RETURNS UNDER THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC POLICY UNCERTAINTY
Authors: TİRYAKİ Havva Nesrin , TİRYAKİ Ahmet 
Published: December 2018

This paper aims to investigate the short-run and long-run macroeconomic
determinants of the Turkish stock returns under the impact of the “domestic and
global economic policy uncertainty” by using the ARDL method and the monthly
data for the period of 1991:M1 to 2017:M12. The set of macroeconomic variables
utilized in the study are the stock market price indexes of Turkey’s BIST100
index (BIST) and the BIST industrial index (IND), industrial production index
(IPI), real effective exchange rate (RER), consumer price index (CPI), interest
rate (R), Geopolitical risk index for Turkey (GPR) and the Economic Policy
Uncertainty index of the United States of America (EPU). The ARDL estimation
results reveal that in the short-run the BIST stock returns are positively
affected from the changes in IPI, RER and CPI.
The effects of the changes in Turkish interest rate (R), EPU and the dummy
representing the impact of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis on the stock
returns are negative. The long-run determinants of the BIST stock returns are
the changes in IPI, RER, and CPI and the EPU. The effect of the changes in the
EPU on the stock returns is negative and the effect of the other variables are
positive.

Authors: Chattopadhyay Shibram , Majumder Siddhartha , Patra Kajal Kumar , Kamal A. H. Mostafa 
Published: December 2018

Background: Antepartum haemorrhage is one of the important causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity in India. The increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality in placenta praevia is due to preterm birth, low birth weight, birth asphyxia and neonatal sepsis. This is a retrospective study done over a period of 5years to determine the incidence, demographic features, risk factors, obstetric management, maternal mortality and morbidity, and perinatal outcome in women presenting with placenta praevia.Methods: This was a retrospective study done at Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital over a period of five years starting from January 2016 to December 2017. Antenatal women with more than 28 weeks of gestational age with a complaint of painless vaginal bleeding or those diagnosed as having placenta praevia on routine ultrasound examination were included in this study and hospitalised. Among them cases of placenta praevia were 21.Results: There were21 cases of placenta praevia registered amounting to 0.23% incidence. The various antenatal complications seen associated with placenta praevia were severe anaemia (14.28%), coexisting PIH (4.76%), IUD (4.76%), IUGR/Oligohydraminos (4.76%). All the patients in the study had undergone caesarean deliveries. Perinatal morbidity studied as percentage of new-borns requiring resuscitation followed by NICU admission was 33.3%. Among the delivered patients of placenta praevia incidence of perinatal mortality was 23.8%. Prematurity (42.85%) contributed to most cases of perinatal mortality, followed by RDS (14.28%) and asphyxia (14.28%).Conclusions: In this study placenta praevia is seen more commonly in 28-34 weeks of gestation and patients mainly presented with a bout of bleeding eventually had preterm deliveries. Although vaginal deliveries are appropriate in selected cases of placenta paevia liberal use of caesarean section in well-equipped hospitals with availability of blood transfusion services have helped to lower complications.

Assessment of Students’ Higher-level Text Comprehension Skills in Basic School
Authors: Kärbla Triinu , Uibu Krista 
Published: December 2018

Text comprehension is a sophisticated process that is influenced by the reader’s cognitive skills, prior knowledge and the type of texts. The aim of the present longitudinal study was to assess the students’ ability to analyse and evaluate the narrative text in Grades 4 and 5. A total of 831 Estonian students were tested in two consecutive years. The results indicated that fewer than half of the students succeeded in analysing and evaluating the contents of the text, while the students’ text comprehension skills in Grade 5 were significantly better than in Grade 4. Students had more difficulties answering the questions that examined their skill of evaluating the text, compared to their ability to analyse the text. This led to the conclusion that teachers should pay more attention to the students’ higher-level cognitive processes and support their text comprehension skills.

Media in Schools: Work Experience of Teachers as a Determinant of the Utilization of Media Resources
Authors: Pavlovic Dragana , Petrovic Zorica Stanisavljevic , Vulic Tatjana 
Published: December 2018

The use of media, as a precondition for the development and modernisation of a school environment in all its segments is significantly conditioned by the attitudes of teachers, their media competencies and their personal attitudes towards the media resources which can be used for educational purposes. The main aim of the research is to examine the use of media in a school environment depending on teachers´ years of experience. The results of the research show that there are statistically significant differences in the attitudes of teachers towards the type of media, the frequency of use, the ICT competencies of teachers and years of service in education. On the basis of the obtained data we recommend a systemic approach to the problem of a professional development of already employed teachers, especially of those with more years of work experience, and all for the purposes of raising the level of ICT competencies.
