Objective To evaluate the degree of adherence to the new the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists/Society for Maternal–Fetal Medicine guidelines in labor arrest management.
Study Design A retrospective study of term, live, singleton deliveries with intrapartum primary cesarean delivery solely for failed induction of labor or labor arrest. Adherence was defined according to the Safe Prevention of the Primary Cesarean Delivery 2014 criteria. We evaluated adherence and compared maternal and perinatal outcomes, delivery time frame, and billing provider. Multivariable Poisson regression models with robust error variance were used to calculate adjusted relative risk (aRR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results Two-hundred six deliveries met the inclusion criteria; 73% were deemed not adherent to the guidelines. The majority of cases were under the care of nonacademic private practice OB/GYN physicians. The adherence rate was higher in the active phase of labor (45%) than in second stage (17%) and latent phase (14%). There were no differences in perinatal outcomes between the two groups. The adherence to guidelines was higher among academic OB/GYN physicians (aRR, 2.24, 95% CI, 1.49–3.36) and during the weekday–night shift (aRR, 1.81, 95% CI, 1.10–2.98).
Conclusion Despite recent guidelines aimed to reduce the primary cesarean delivery rate, most cesarean deliveries performed for labor arrest disorders were not adherent to the guidelines.

Published: November 2018

Objective Shorter maternal height has been associated with preeclampsia risk in several populations. It has been less evident whether an independent contribution to the risk exists from maternal height consistently across different races/ethnicities. We investigated associations between maternal height and risk of preeclampsia for different races/ethnicities.
Study Design California singleton live births from 2007 to 2011 were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios for the association between height and preeclampsia after stratification by race/ethnicity. To determine the contribution of height that is as independent of body composition as possible, we performed one analysis adjusted for body mass index (BMI) and the other for weight. Additional analyses were performed stratified by parity, and the presence of preexisting/gestational diabetes and autoimmune conditions.
Results Among 2,138,012 deliveries, 3.1% preeclampsia/eclampsia cases were observed. The analysis, adjusted for prepregnancy weight, revealed an inverse relation between maternal height and risk of mild and severe preeclampsia/eclampsia. When the analysis was adjusted for BMI, an inverse relation between maternal height was observed for severe preeclampsia/eclampsia. These associations were observed for each race/ethnicity.
Conclusion Using a large and diverse cohort, we demonstrated that shorter height, irrespective of prepregnancy weight or BMI, is associated with an increased risk of severe preeclampsia/eclampsia across different races/ethnicities.
The Association between Solo versus Group Obstetrical Practice Model and Delivery Outcomes

Published: November 2018

Objective To determine if women under the care of obstetricians in solo practice have different delivery outcomes from women in a group practice.
Study Design This is a retrospective cohort of live, term, singleton, vertex (LTSV) deliveries at one hospital from 2011 to 2015. We compared outcomes between women whose obstetrician was in solo practice with women in a group practice model.
Results There were 18,214 LTSV deliveries by private obstetricians. Solo obstetricians were more likely to deliver at night (41.0 vs. 37.5%, p = 0.002) and less likely to induce labor (22.6 vs. 30.6%, p < 0.001). Solo obstetricians had a significantly higher rate of cesarean delivery (35.7 vs. 27.2%, adjusted odds ratio, aOR: 1.53, 95% confidence interval, CI [1.32, 1.78]), but also had a significantly lower rate of shoulder dystocia (0.4 vs. 1.4, aOR: 0.42, 95% CI [0.19, 0.89]), third or fourth degree lacerations (1.6 vs. 2.4%, aOR: 0.56, 95% CI [0.35, 0.914]), and neonatal intensive care unit admission rates (3.2 vs. 6.2%, aOR: 0.57, 95% CI [0.42, 0.77]).
Conclusion In a large, tertiary care hospital, solo obstetricians have similar neonatal outcomes as group obstetricians. Their higher cesarean delivery rate is balanced by fewer shoulder dystocias and third/fourth degree lacerations, indicating a more conservative approach to labor management. Patient outcomes should not be a reason to discourage a solo practice model.

AbstractDespite the growing interest and improved knowledge about venous thromboembolism in cancer patients in the last years, there are still many unsolved issues. Due to the limitations of the available literature, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines are not able to give solid recommendations for challenging scenarios often present in the setting of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT). A multidisciplinary expert panel from three scientific societies—Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI), Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM), and Spanish Society Thrombosis and Haemostasis (SETH)—agreed on 12 controversial questions regarding prevention and management of CAT, which were thoroughly reviewed to provide further guidance. The suggestions presented herein may facilitate clinical decisions in specific complex circumstances, until these can be made leaning on reliable scientific evidence.

SignificanceUsing an interactomic approach, we have identified the nuclear receptor REV-ERBα as a O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) protein partner. REV-ERBα protects cytoplasmic OGT from proteasomal degradation and facilitates cytosolic and nuclear protein O-GlcNAcylation while REV-ERα ligands decreased cytoplasmic OGT activity. REV-ERBα thus exerts pleiotropic activities through OGT, coordinating signal transduction, epigenomic programming, and transcriptional response in the liver.
Bulk electronic transport impacts on electron transfer at conducting polymer electrode–electrolyte interfaces

Published: November 2018

Significance
Spreading electrochemical technologies, such as energy, bioelectrochemical devices, and industrial electrochemical synthesis, require low-cost large area electrodes. Conducting polymers possess a unique combination of properties compared with most of the inorganic electrodes: acid resistance, the absence of surface-insulating oxide, low temperature and solution processability, a high natural abundance of their elements, molecular porosity. Conducting polymers are inhomogeneous conductors composed of ordered and disordered regions through which electronic transport takes place via percolation paths. We discovered that the density of percolation paths in the bulk of the material dictates the rate of electron transfer at the electrolyte–polymer electrode interface. This reveals one of the key parameters of designs to achieve efficient electrochemical technologies based on polymer electrodes.
Crystal structure of human mARC1 reveals its exceptional position among eukaryotic molybdenum enzymes

Published: November 2018

Significance
The involvement of biotransformation enzymes in drug metabolism is one of the most crucial objectives during preclinical research, since they ultimately determine the bioavailability of medicinal drugs. The mARC N-reductive enzyme system was found to be a highly effective counterpart to one of the most prominent biotransformation enzymes, CYP450, and is involved in activation of amidoxime prodrugs as well as inactivation of other drugs containing N-hydroxylated functional groups. Owing to its potent N-reductive capacity toward a broad range of compounds, including mutagenic N-oxygenated nucleobase analogs, mARC plays a crucial role in pharmacology. Our crystal structure of human mARC forms the basis for predictions on the metabolism of drug candidates and structure–activity relationships. Moreover, it indicates the evolutionary development of different molybdoenzyme families.
Awareness of what is learned as a characteristic of hippocampus-dependent memory
Authors: Smith Christine N. , Squire Larry R. 
Published: November 2018

Significance
Knowledge (or awareness) of what has been learned has been described as a key feature of hippocampus-dependent memory or as unhelpful for understanding hippocampal function. We recorded eye movements while memory-impaired patients with hippocampal lesions and controls viewed familiar scenes or familiar scenes that had been altered. Controls preferentially looked at the altered regions of the scenes, but only when they knew what had changed and where the change occurred. Patients had difficulty distinguishing altered and unaltered scenes and, overall, did not direct their viewing toward the altered regions. Nonetheless, they did exhibit this effect on the few occasions when they were aware of the change. The results indicate the importance of conscious awareness for understanding hippocampal function.
Split coordination in English
Authors: Taylor Ann , Pintzuk Susan 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
In this article we provide a practical demonstration of how syntactically annotated corpora (treebanks), particularly the English
Historical Parsed Corpora Series, can be used to investigate research questions with a diachronic depth and synchronic breadth
that would not otherwise be possible. The phenomenon under investigation is split coordination, in which two parts of a conjoined
constituent appear separated in the clause (e.g., and this is where my aunt lives and my
uncle
). It affects every type of coordinated constituent (subject/object DPs, predicate and attributive ADJPs,
ADVPs, PPs and DP objects of P) in Old English (OE); and it, or a superficially similar construction, occurs continuously
throughout the attested period from approximately 800 to the present day. Despite its synchronic range and diachronic persistence,
split coordination has received surprisingly little attention in the diachronic literature, with the exception of Perez Lorido’s (2009) limited study of split subjects in eight OE texts. Its modern
counterpart is most frequently analysed as Bare Argument Ellipsis (BAE). Although the OE and Present-Day English constructions
appear superficially similar, we show that not all of the OE data is amenable to a BAE analysis. We bring to bear different types
of evidence (structural, discourse/performance effects, rate of change, etc.) to argue that split coordination in fact represents
two different constructions, one of which remains stable over time while the other is lost in the post-Middle English
period.
Non-configurationality in diachrony
Authors: Ponti Edoardo Maria , Luraghi Silvia 
Published: November 2018

AbstractNon-configurationality is a linguistic property associated with free word order, discontinuous constituents, including NPs, and null anaphora of referential arguments. Quantitative metrics, based both on local networks (syntactic trees and word order within sentences) and on global networks (incorporating the relations within a whole treebank into a shared graph), can reveal correlations among these features. Using treebanks we focus on diachronic varieties of Ancient Greek and Latin, in which non-configurationality tapered off over time, leading to the largely configurational nature of the Romance languages and of Modern Greek. A property of global networks (density of their spectra around zero eigenvalues) measuring the regularity in word order is shown to be strengthened from classical to late varieties. Discontinuous NPs are traced by counting the words creating non-projectivity in dependency trees: these drop dramatically in late varieties. Finally, developments in the use of null referential direct objects are gauged by assessing the percentage of third-person personal pronouns among verb objects. All three features turn out to change over time due to the decay of non-configurationality. Evaluation of the strength of their pairwise correlation shows that null direct objects and discontinuous NPs are deeply intertwined.
Spoken Latin behind written texts
Authors: Korkiakangas Timo 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis study uses treebanking to investigate how spoken language infiltrated legal Latin in early medieval Italy. The documents used are always formulaic, but they also always contain a ‘free’ part where the case in question is described in free prose. This paper uses this difference to measure how ten linguistic features, representative of the evolution that took place between Classical and Late Latin, are distributed between the formulaic and free parts. Some variants are attested equally often in both parts of the documents, while perceptually or conceptually salient variants appear to be preserved in their conservative form mainly in the formulaic parts.
The‘listen to characters thinking’novel
Authors: Pascual Esther , Królak Emilia 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis article explores direct speech involvingfictive interaction, that is not functioning as an ordinary quote (e.g. “a look of‘I told you so’”;Pascual, 2006,2014). We specifically deal with its use as a literary strategy, in which different fictive speech constructions may serve to: (i) give access to characters’ mental worlds; (ii) show the relationships and non-verbal communication between characters; (iii) create new semantic categories; and (iv) produce such rhetorical effects as vividness or humor. Special emphasis is placed on a comparative analysis of the English fictive direct speech plus noun construction (e.g. “the‘why bother?’attitude”) with its translations into Polish and Spanish. We show that the construction proves a challenge to translators, since neither of these languages has an exact syntactic equivalent. This study is based on an extensive and heterogeneous database that includes 30 bestselling novels from different genres, published between 1935 and 2013.
On metaphorical views, dynamite, and doodlings
Authors: Reijnierse W. Gudrun , Burgers Christian , Krennmayr Tina , Steen Gerard J. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis paper offers a systematic, bottom-up, investigation of the role of adjectives as metaphor signals in metaphorical domain constructions (MDCs) such as ‘budgetary anorexia’ and ‘economic crash’ within the framework of Deliberate Metaphor Theory (e.g.,Steen, 2017). To this end, we analyse all MDCs in the VU Amsterdam Metaphor Corpus. Results of our analyses demonstrate that domain adjectives in MDCs do not by definition constitute signals of metaphor, and that not all nouns in MDCs are identified as potentially deliberate metaphors. We identify three different functions of domain adjectives: (1) signal of novel metaphor; (2) signal of conventional metaphor; (3) non-signal. The analyses in this paper provide new insights into both the role of domain adjectives in MDCs, and the position of MDCs as a typical manifestation of potentially deliberate metaphor.
Reconstructing social emotions across languages and cultures
Authors: Krawczak Karolina 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe present study investigates the adjectival profiling ofshamefrom a cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspective. This concept, overarching the field of negative self-evaluative emotions, is operationalized through two lexical categories (‘shame’ and ‘embarrassment’) that are comparable in the languages under investigation. The usage of the adjectival exponents of these categories is analyzed in four communities of British English, American English, French, and Polish. The study has two goals, one descriptive, the other methodological. Firstly, it aims to identify the conceptual structuring of the two lexical categories relative to their respective socio-cultural contexts. The result will be four sets of culture-sensitive usage profiles. Secondly, the study further advances corpus-driven quantitative methodology for the description of intersubjectively-grounded abstract concepts. The results obtained here provide partial evidence for the existence of a cultural continuum ranging from the Anglo-Saxon communities, through France to Poland along the descriptive dimension of individualism-collectivism.
On objective and subjective epistemic modality again
Authors: Olbertz Hella , Hattnher Marize Mattos Dall'Aglio 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This aim of this chapter is to prove the linguistic reality of the distinction between objective and subjective epistemic modality as made in FDG, according to which the former modifies the Episode and the latter the Propositional Content. The chapter studies the two basic Spanish modal auxiliaries poder ‘can, may’ and deber ‘must’ and its Portuguese cognates dever and poder in order to see (i) which of the criteria (proposed by Hengeveld (1988) for the lexical expression of this distinction) yield testable criteria for the grammatical expression of epistemic modality and (ii) if the objective-subjective dichotomy somehow relates to the degrees of possibility and necessity expressed by these modal auxiliaries. With respect to (i), it is argued that there are two testable criteria, i.e. non-locatability in time and space and the boundedness to the ‘locutionary agent’ of propositions, for the identification of subjective auxiliary expressions. As for (ii), it turns out that the expressions of auxiliaries of necessity are prone to express subjective epistemic modality, whereas those of probability and possibility generally express objective epistemic modality.
Subject expression in Brazilian Portuguese
Authors: Peres de Oliveira Taísa 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the expression of subjects with identifiable referents in Brazilian Portuguese, using the multi-level architecture of Functional Discourse Grammar (Hengeveld & Mackenzie 2008) and the notions of transparency and opacity as conceived of by this theory. The aim of the chapter is to show that in regard to subject expression, Brazilian Portuguese grammar may be developing into a more transparent system in comparison to its earlier stages and other Romance languages. It is shown that in many cases there is no verbal morphology to cross-reference the argument on the predicate with subjects being expressed by means of a single morphosyntactic unit; since this morphological unit corresponds to single units at higher levels of representation, subject expression involves a one-to-one relation between levels, resulting in a transparent system.
Measuring polysynthesis
Authors: Genee Inge 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This chapter proposes a framework for a quantitative approach to the typology of polysynthesis based in Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG). FDG’s strict separation between the Interpersonal, Representational and Morphosyntactic Levels of analysis combined with its approach to morpheme types allows for a detailed examination of the scalar nature of polysynthesis. The analysis refines FDG’s treatment of morphological typology, which characterizes languages according to two parameters, viz. transparency and synthesis. Inspired by recent FDG treatments of transparency (esp. Leufkens 2015; Hengeveld & Leufkens 2018), and building on FDG work by Fortescue (2007) and Smit (2005), I propose the following set of parameters: (1) (verbal) lexical density (qualitative and quantitative); (2) anisomorphism between Formulation and Encoding levels; (3) anisomorphism within the Morphosyntactic Level (word-internal layering in the verbal word); (4) alignment restrictions; (5) optionality (availability of analytic alternative). This quantitative approach is intended to complement the qualitative typology developed by Mattissen (2004, 2017).
Reduction of water hardness from groundwater in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines using electrocoagulation
Authors: Cabiguen M L , Soriano A N , Adornado A P 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Reduction of water hardness from groundwater is extremely important to prevent corrosion, scale and hard foam formation, clogging, decline in efficiency, and lathering of soap before it can be used for industrial and domestic consumptions. In this study, water hardness caused by the presence of high concentration of minerals mainly calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) is reduced by electrocoagulation (EC) with iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) electrodes. The effects of the following parameters: initial pH, current intensity, electrolysis time, and conductivity by supporting electrolyte concentration were studied. Reduction efficiencies of both Fe and Al electrodes are satisfactory. Under favorable conditions, using Fe and Al electrodes, the water hardness was reduced of about 98.12% and 97.57%, respectively.

Published: November 2018

Abstract
This study aimed to prove the feasibility of Philippine mud crab (Scylla serrata) and tahong (Perna viridis) shells in treating heavy metal content of surface water through the removal of lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr). Surface water samples were collected at Pasig River (at the deepest point at Guadalupe, Makati City, Philippines). The surface water samples were then treated with varying biosorbent dosages and contact time. Based on statistical tests, there was a significant difference in the Pb and Cr concentrations between treated and untreated surface water, this means that both S. serrata and P. viridis shells were effective in absorbing Pb and Cr. However, S. serrata shells were more effective in absorbing Pb while P. viridis shells proved to absorb more Cr content in surface water.
