AbstractThe belt boundary thrust within the Cretaceous–Neogene accretionary complex of the Shimanto Belt, southwestern Japan, extends for more than ~ 1 000 km along the Japanese islands. A common understanding of the origin of the thrust is that it is an out of sequence thrust as a result of continuous accretion since the late Cretaceous and there is a kinematic reason for its maintaining a critically tapered wedge. The timing of the accretion gap and thrusting, however, coincides with the collision of the Paleocene–early Eocene Izanagi–Pacific spreading ridges with the trench along the western Pacific margin, which has been recently re‐hypothesized as younger than the previous assumption with respect to the Kula‐Pacific ridge subduction during the late Cretaceous. The ridge subduction hypothesis provides a consistent explanation for the cessation of magmatic activity along the continental margin and the presence of an unconformity in the forearc basin. This is not only the case in southwestern Japan, but also along the more northern Asian margin in Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and Sikhote‐Alin. This Paleocene–early Eocene ridge subduction hypothesis is also consistent with recently acquired tomographic images beneath the Asian continent. The timing of the Izanagi–Pacific ridge subduction along the western Pacific margin allows for a revision of the classic hypothesis of a great reorganization of the Pacific Plate motion between ~ 47 Ma and 42 Ma, illustrated by the bend in the Hawaii–Emperor chain, because of the change in subduction torque balance and the Oligocene–Miocene back arc spreading after the ridge subduction in the western Pacific margin.

SummaryThe objective of this research was to investigate and compare the effect of different treatments including gaseous ozone (6‐ppm/4‐min), ultrasound (450 W/4 min) and coating of shellac, lysozyme–chitosan (L‐C) on fresh eggs internal quality during storage for six weeks at ambient temperature. The internal quality attributes such as weight loss (WL), albumen viscosity, Haugh unit (HU), yolk index, total soluble solids, albumen and yolk's pH were monitored. Control groups had the worst HU (50.04), WL (8.35%), albumen pH (9.27) and viscosity (7.72 mPa·s) values after storage. The best interior qualities were obtained by shellac coating [HU (72.37), WL (1.37) and viscosity (30.10 mPa·s)] and sonication (albumen pH: 8.22). Thus, the shellac‐coated eggs maintained all the internal quality parameters at the highest values, while the ozone and ultrasound only helped to keep the internal quality and enhance the shelf life of eggs.

SummaryThe aim of this study was to determine the survival kinetics of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica in ripened raw milk cheese. Cheese samples inoculated with S. enterica subsp. enterica were stored at 5, 15 and 25 °C and analysed in terms of physico‐chemical and microbiological characteristics. Three primary models were used to estimate the kinetic parameters of S. enterica subsp. enterica. The secondary Arrhenius model was used to establish the relationship between temperature and parameter α of the Weibull model. Additionally, prediction of S. enterica subsp. enterica survival as a function of storage temperature was made. S. enterica subsp. enterica growth was inhibited during storage, and bacteria survived for an extensive period of time at high number (60 day at 5 °C, 26 day at 25 °C). The storage temperature significantly influenced the inactivation rate of Salmonella in raw milk ripened cheese and proceeded faster at 25 °C compared to remaining storage temperature. Obtained results suggest that contamination by Salmonella in raw milk cheese might result in residual risk.

RésuméL'essor des chaînes d'approvisionnement mondiales (CAM) éloigne l'emploi de la demande, géographiquement et sectoriellement. Pour mieux comprendre le phénomène, les auteurs mesurent l'emploi lié aux CAM selon sa localisation et celle de la demande, en se fondant sur les données de la base WIOD et en complétant les estimations déjà présentées par le BIT. L'analyse porte sur la période 1995–2013 et sur 40 économies. Elle montre que la Chine, principale bénéficiaire de la demande liée aux CAM autrefois, contribue maintenant à l'alimenter, tout comme les relations de production entre économies émergentes. En outre, le poids des services liés à une demande manufacturière augmente.
Que faut‐il voir dans les écarts de rémunération entre les travailleurs immigrés des pays du Golfe: l'effet d'a priori patronaux ou la simple conséquence de coûts d'opportunité différents?
Authors: ALFARHAN Usamah F. , AL‐BUSAIDI Samir 
Published: July 2019

RésuméLes auteurs s'intéressent aux disparités salariales entre les différents groupes de migrants qualifiés qui travaillent en grand nombre pour le secteur privé dans les États du Conseil de coopération du Golfe. Ils se demandent notamment si la prime salariale des Occidentaux (par rapport aux travailleurs venus d'Asie ou d'autres États arabes) découle d'éventuels a priori des employeurs. L'analyse, qui repose sur des données de 2012–2014 et sur deux méthodes de décomposition classiques, infirme l'hypothèse: les caractéristiques observables relatives à la productivité expliquent entre un tiers et trois quarts des écarts; le coût d'opportunité de la migration, supérieur pour les Occidentaux, explique la portion restante.
Le biais ploutocratique de l'indice des prix à la consommation indien
Authors: NACHANE Dilip M. , CHAUBAL Aditi 
Published: July 2019

RésuméDes études montrent que les indices des prix à la consommation (IPC) de type Laspeyres, plutôt calqués sur la structure des dépenses des ménages aisés, souffrent d'un biais ploutocratique. Les auteurs recherchent ce biais en Inde de 2012 à 2015, en construisant un indice démocratique qui met tous les ménages sur un pied d'égalité. Ils analysent la situation pour plusieurs sous‐indices (rural, urbain, régionaux), différentes fonctions de consommation et trois tranches de dépenses. Ils soulignent que le biais mis en évidence, qui pénalise les ménages et régions les plus pauvres, a des répercussions potentielles sur la politique monétaire et l'indexation des paiements de transfert.

AbstractBackgroundLung cancer screening can reduce lung cancer mortality. Australian cost estimates are important to inform policy but remain uncertain.AimTo describe the first direct medical costs associated with lung cancer screening in Australia.MethodsSingle‐centre prospective screening cohort. Healthy volunteers (age 60–74 years, current or former smokers quit <15 years prior to enrolment, ≥30 pack‐years exposure) underwent baseline and two annual incidence computed tomography (CT) screening scans. Health status and healthcare usage data were collated for 5 years. The main outcome measures were: rates of lung cancer; individual healthcare resource use derived from multiple data sources adjusted to 2018 Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule values.ResultsA total of 256, 239, 233 participants was screened at each round respectively; 12 participants were diagnosed with lung cancer during screening and 2 during follow‐up: 9 underwent surgery, 4 received concurrent chemoradiation, 1 received palliative chemotherapy. One surgical case died from lymphoma 1407 days after diagnosis, all other surgical cases survived >5 years. Non‐surgical median survival post‐diagnosis was 654 days. Gross trial cost was Australian dollar (AU$) 965 665 (AU$397 396 CT scans; AU$29 303 false‐positive scan work‐up; AU$96 340 true‐positive scan workup; AU$336 914 lung cancer treatment; AU$104 712 lung cancer follow‐up post‐treatment). Average total direct medical cost per participant was AU$3 768. Average direct cost of surgery was AU$22 659; average non‐surgical cost was AU$47 395 (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, palliative care).ConclusionsAdvanced cancer cost more to treat and had worse survival than early cancer. Screening costs are similar to international studies and suggest that lung cancer early detection could limit treatment costs and improve outcomes.

AbstractBackground and AimA few small retrospective studies recently found that endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in asymptomatic compared with symptomatic common bile duct stones (CBDSs) patients appeared to increase the risk of post‐ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). This study aimed to determine the risk of ERCP in asymptomatic CBDS patients.MethodsA total of 327 consecutive patients with native papilla were invited to participate into the study and divided into two groups: 53 in the asymptomatic group and 274 in the symptomatic group, who underwent CBDS removal by ERCP. Patient's characteristics and outcomes were analyzed.ResultsA total of 46 (14.1%) patients had ERCP‐related complications, including PEP, cholangitis, perforation, and bleeding. The overall complication rate in the asymptomatic group was higher than in the control group (26.4% vs 11.7%, P < 0.01). PEP was the most common complication (30/327, 9.2%). Of the 30 cases of PEP, 25 (83.3%) were mild, and the severity in both groups was similar (9/1/1 vs 16/2/1, P > 0.05). The incidence rate of PEP in the asymptomatic group was higher than in the symptomatic group (20.8% vs 6.9%, P < 0.01). Multivariate regression analysis identified asymptomatic CBDSs (odds ratio = 0.241, 95% confidence interval: 0.092–0.628) as being independently associated with PEP occurrence.ConclusionAsymptomatic CBDSs were associated with increased incidence of PEP compared with symptomatic CBDSs.

OBJECTIVESTo examine the relationship between registered nurse (RN) burnout, job dissatisfaction, and missed care in nursing homes.DESIGNCross‐sectional secondary analysis of linked data from the 2015 RN4CAST‐US nurse survey and LTCfocus.SETTINGA total of 540 Medicare‐ and Medicaid‐certified nursing homes in California, Florida, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.PARTICIPANTSA total of 687 direct care RNs.MEASUREMENTSEmotional Exhaustion subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, job dissatisfaction, and missed care.RESULTSAcross all RNs, 30% exhibited high levels of burnout, 31% were dissatisfied with their job, and 72% reported missing one or more necessary care tasks on their last shift due to lack of time or resources. One in five RNs reported frequently being unable to complete necessary patient care. Controlling for RN and nursing home characteristics, RNs with burnout were five times more likely to leave necessary care undone (odds ratio [OR] = 4.97; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.56‐9.66) than RNs without burnout. RNs who were dissatisfied were 2.6 times more likely to leave necessary care undone (OR = 2.56; 95% CI = 1.68‐3.91) than RNs who were satisfied. Tasks most often left undone were comforting/talking with patients, providing adequate patient surveillance, patient/family teaching, and care planning.CONCLUSIONMissed nursing care due to inadequate time or resources is common in nursing homes and is associated with RN burnout and job dissatisfaction. Improved work environments with sufficient staff hold promise for improving care and nurse retention. J Am Geriatr Soc 67:2065–2071, 2019

AbstractBackgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the principal cause of mortality and disability in Iranian adults. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between dietary patterns andCVDincidence in a large sample of adults in northeastern Iran.MethodsThe present study comprised a prospective study of 5706CVD‐free men and women aged 35–65 years who participated in a cohort study. All of the participants were followed up for a 6‐year period. Dietary patterns were derived from a 65‐item validated food frequency questionnaire and the factor analysis method was used to determine dietary patterns.ResultsWe identified two major dietary patterns: (i) a Balanced dietary pattern (a high intake of green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, fruits, dairy products, red meats, poultry, seafoods, legumes and nuts, as well as a low intake of sugar) and (ii) a Western dietary pattern (a high intake of sugar, tea, egg, snacks, fast foods, potato, carbonated beverages, pickled foods, organs meat and butter) by factor analysis. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of totalCVDin the highest versus lowest tertiles of the Balanced pattern were 1.29 (95%CI= 0.67–2.47;P = 0.44). TheHRand 95% CIs ofCVDin the highest versus lowest tertiles of Western pattern were 2.21 (95%CI= 1.08–4.45;P = 0.03).ConclusionsDuring the 6‐year follow‐up, we found that adherence to a Balanced dietary pattern was not significantly associated withCVDevents. However, adherence to a Western dietary pattern was associated with a significantly increased risk ofCVDevents and its associated risk.
Comparison of a 2D iPad application and 3D body scanner to air displacement plethysmography for measurement of body fat percentage

AbstractBackgroundNovel and innovative imaging methods that rapidly estimate body fat percentage (%BF) are publicly available, yet little is known about their accuracy. The present study evaluated the test–retest reliability of a two‐dimensional iPad (Apple, Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA) application (2D APP) and a three‐dimensional body scanner (3D SCAN) for estimating %BF and compared both imaging methods with air displacement plethysmography (Bod Pod; Cosmed USA, Inc., Concord, CA, USA).MethodsSeventy‐nine adults (37 female, 42 male) varying widely in age [mean (SD), range] [32.9 (12.4), 18–65 years] and body mass index [25.0 (4.9), 18.2–41.8 kg m–2] were measured with the Bod Pod and twice with the 3D SCAN and the 2D APP in a repeated‐measures design.ResultsTest–retest reliability was excellent for both the 2D APP (intraclass correlation = 0.993) and the 3D SCAN (intraclass correlation = 0.993) with the SEM <1% BF for both methods. Although the three methods were highly correlated with each other (r = 0.857–0.923), the mean %BF estimations were significantly different (P = 0.001). The 2D APP [19.9 (8.2)%BF] underestimated the Bod Pod value [21.9 (9.4)%BF] and the 3D SCAN [24.0 (6.8)%BF] overestimated. Additionally, the SE of estimate and total error exceeded 4% BF for both 2D APP and 3D SCAN, and both methods tended to overestimate lean participants and underestimate fat participants.ConclusionsAlthough highly reliable, neither the 2D APP, nor the 3D SCAN provided valid estimates of %BFBod Pod.

AbstractIn land plants, cytidine‐to‐uridine (C‐to‐U) editing of organellar transcripts is an important post‐transcriptional process, which is considered to remediate DNA genetic mutations to restore the coding of functional proteins. Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins have key roles in C‐to‐U editing. Owing to its large number, however, the biological functions of many PPR proteins remain to be identified. Through characterizing a small kernel4 (smk4) mutant, here we report the function of Smk4 and its role in maize growth and development. Null mutation of Smk4 slows plant growth and development, causing small plants, delayed flowering time, and small kernels. Cloning revealed that Smk4 encodes a new E‐subclass PPR protein, and localization indicated that SMK4 is exclusively localized in mitochondria. Loss of Smk4 function abolishes C‐to‐U editing at position 1489 of the cytochrome c oxidase1 (cox1) transcript, causing an amino acid change from serine to proline at 497 in Cox1. Cox1 is a core component of mitochondrial complex IV. Indeed, complex IV activity is reduced in the smk4, along with drastically elevated expression of alternative oxidases (AOX). These results indicate that SMK4 functions in the C‐to‐U editing of cox1‐1489, and this editing is crucial for mitochondrial complex IV activity, plant growth, and kernel development in maize.

Published: July 2019

AbstractThe efficacy and feasibility of proton beam therapy (PBT) for recurrent ovarian carcinoma had not been determined. Here we presented a case of recurrent ovarian carcinoma that was successfully treated with PBT. A 48‐year‐old woman who was diagnosed as left ovarian clear cell carcinoma underwent surgery without removal of two tumors. After achieving complete remission with postoperative chemotherapy, a recurrent tumor was found in the sigmoid colon, for which a colostomy was performed. Because second‐line chemotherapy was not effective, PBT was selected; there were no complications, except for a transient low‐grade fever. After 1 year of PBT, the tumor completely disappeared and the patient had been disease‐free for over 8 years. PBT may be an effective and less invasive treatment modality for recurrent ovarian carcinoma.

AbstractAn estimated 9 million individuals are chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) across the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA), many of which are yet to be diagnosed. We performed a systematic review to identify interventions effective at improving testing offer and uptake in the EU/EEA. Original research articles published between 1 January 2008 and 1 September 2017 were retrieved from PubMed and EMBASE. Search strings combined terms for HBV/HCV, intervention, testing and geographic terms (EU/EEA). Out of 8331 records retrieved, 93 studies were selected. Included studies reported on testing initiatives in primary health care (9), hospital (12), other healthcare settings (31) and community settings (41). Testing initiatives targeted population groups such as migrants, drug users, prisoners, pregnant women and the general population. Testing targeted to populations at higher risk yielded high coverage rates in many settings. Implementation of novel testing approaches, including dried blood spot (DBS) testing, was associated with increased coverage in several settings including drug services, pharmacies and STI clinics. Community‐based testing services were effective in reaching populations at higher risk for infection, vulnerable and hard‐to‐reach populations. In conclusion, our review identified several successful testing approaches implemented in healthcare and community settings, including testing approaches targeting groups at higher risk, community‐based testing services and DBS testing. Combining a diverse set of testing opportunities within national testing strategies may lead to higher impact both in terms of testing coverage and in terms of reduction, on the undiagnosed fraction.
Evidence for rapid evolution in a grassland biodiversity experiment

AbstractIn long‐term grassland experiments, positive biodiversity effects on plant productivity commonly increase with time. Subsequent glasshouse experiments showed that these strengthened positive biodiversity effects persist not only in the local environment but also when plants are transferred into a common environment. Thus, we hypothesized that community diversity had acted as a selective agent, resulting in the emergence of plant monoculture and mixture types with differing genetic composition. To test our hypothesis, we grew offspring from plants that were grown for eleven years in monoculture or mixture environments in a biodiversity experiment (Jena Experiment) under controlled glasshouse conditions in monocultures or two‐species mixtures. We used epiGBS, a genotyping‐by‐sequencing approach combined with bisulphite conversion, to provide integrative genetic and epigenetic (i.e., DNA methylation) data. We observed significant divergence in genetic and DNA methylation data according to selection history in three out of five perennial grassland species, namely Galium mollugo, Prunella vulgaris and Veronica chamaedrys, with DNA methylation differences mostly reflecting the genetic differences. In addition, current diversity levels in the glasshouse had weak effects on epigenetic variation. However, given the limited genome coverage of the reference‐free bisulphite method epiGBS, it remains unclear how much of the differences in DNA methylation was independent of underlying genetic differences. Our results thus suggest that selection of genetic variants, and possibly epigenetic variants, caused the rapid emergence of monoculture and mixture types within plant species in the Jena Experiment.
