Published: February 2018

AbstractThe feeding of Little Owl(Athene noctua)was studied in a farmland area of Kiskunság, Central Hungary. For the analyses, a total of 661 Little Owl pellets were collected between February and September 2005 from three locations, corresponding known Little Owl territories situated nearby the settlements Apaj, Kunpeszér and Ladánybene. The aim of the present study was to explore the diet composition of Little Owl and to give a detailed evaluation of the arthropod diversity based on the pellet analysis. The identified prey items represented 15 vertebrate and 39 invertebrate species/taxa. In terms of prey number, dominance of small mammals was observed in two sites (Apaj – 55%, Kunpeszér – 68%), while birds and mammals shared almost equal dominance (~25%) in Ladánybene. The most numerous mammal species was the Common Vole(Microtus arvalis), while the Starling(Sturnus vulgaris)played key role among the birds. Contribution of amphibian Common Spadefoot(Pelobates fuscus)was considerable, while share of reptiles was marginal. Vertebrates also played a predominant role by contributing over 99% of the overall prey biomass in all study sites. Invertebrate prey dominance ranged from 24.8–30.0% while their contribution to the overall biomass was very low (0.14–0.34%). Large sized beetles(Pentodon idiota, Melolontha hippocastani)and orthopterans(Tettigonia viridissima, Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa)were preferred. Arthropod species richness and diversity were the highest in Kunpeszér, supposedly owing to the rich mosaic habitat structure.

Abstract

Introduction. Hyperthermia during the first trimester increases the risk of miscarriage and birth defects. A variety of activities predisposing to hyperthermia during pregnancy such as attending sauna, hot tubs or solarium may lead to irreversible abnormalities of the developing fetus.

Aim. The aim of the study was to assess women‘s knowledge on the risks of maternal hyperthermia during each trimester of pregnancy.

Material and methods. It was a cross-sectional study conducted by means of an anonymous questionnaire. The study group included 302 women aged 17-65 who were admitted to a tertiary referral hospital. The questionnaire was designed on the basis of the Committee Opinion formulated by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and was consisted of two sections: demographic data and respondents‘ opinions on activities associated with hyperthermia in pregnancy. Statistical analysis was conducted to estimate the association of age, level of education and obstetrical status.

Results. The lowest percentage of given proper answers was observed in case of questions about early pregnancy. There was no association between respondents‘ level of education and choice of correct answers. Current pregnancy was associated with higher awareness of contraindicated using of hot tubs and steam rooms.

Conclusions. Patients‘ education concerning hyperthermia in pregnancy should focus on information about high risk of birth defects caused by overheating in the early pregnancy and a variety of activities linked with temperature elevation.

Abstract

Introduction. Body modifications are practices leading to transient or permanent change of various parts of human body. The most popular forms of body modifications are tattooing and piercing.

Aim. The aim of the study is to determine the frequency of the most popular body modifications (tattoos and piercing) among young adults aged 18-32 years and to collect and analyze their opinions concerning body modifications and to determine their knowledge about the complications during these procedures.

Material and methods. The study was conducted in February 2017 among 251 individuals: 146 females (58.17%) and 105 males (41.83%). An original questionnaire was used. It consisted of questions about body modifications. Researchers recorded body modifications the respondents have had. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous. Participants were randomly selected. Results were analyzed with STATISTICA 12.5 and ANOVA program; p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results. The number of 23 examined individuals (10 men and 13 women) had tattoos (9.16%). The mean number of tattoos was 1.6±0.6 for women and 2±1.1 for men. As many as 128 individuals had ear piercing (51%), including 6 males and 122 females. The number of 13 people (5.18%) had piercing in places other than ears. Piercing is significantly more common than tattooing. As many as 109 individuals (43.43%) did not have tattoos or body piercing. The total number of 106 respondents (42.23%) liked tattoos, ear piercing 168 (66.93%), piercing of other parts of the body 41 (16.33%), and other body modifications 8 (3.19%) individuals. As many as 221 (88.05%) individuals claimed that they knew the complications of body modifications.

Conclusions. Body modifications are popular among young adults, especially among females. The most positively assessed by respondents were earnings and tattoos, what correlates with their occurrence in this group of people. The vast majority of respondents consider that they know the complications of body modifications.

Abstract
Flatt, AA, Esco, MR, Allen, JR, Robinson, JB, Bragg, A, Keith, CM, Fedewa, MV, and Earley, RL. Cardiac-autonomic responses to in-season training among Division-1 college football players. J Strength Cond Res 34(6): 1649–1656, 2020—Despite having to endure a rigorous in-season training schedule, research evaluating daily physiological recovery status markers among American football players is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine whether recovery of cardiac-autonomic activity to resting values occurs between consecutive-day, in-season training sessions among college football players. Subjects (n = 29) were divided into groups based on position: receivers and defensive backs (SKILL, n = 10); running backs, linebackers, and tight-ends (MID-SKILL, n = 11) and linemen (LINEMEN, n = 8). Resting heart rate (RHR) and the natural logarithm of the root mean square of successive differences multiplied by 20 (LnRMSSD) were acquired at rest in the seated position before Tuesday and Wednesday training sessions and repeated over 3 weeks during the first month of the competitive season. A position × time interaction was observed for LnRMSSD (p = 0.04), but not for the RHR (p = 0.33). No differences in LnRMSSD between days was observed for SKILL (Tuesday = 82.8 ± 9.3, Wednesday = 81.9 ± 8.7, p > 0.05). Small reductions in LnRMSSD were observed for MID-SKILL (Tuesday = 79.2 ± 9.4, Wednesday = 76.2 ± 9.5, p ≤ 0.05) and LINEMEN (Tuesday = 79.4 ± 10.5, Wednesday = 74.5 ± 11.5, p ≤ 0.05). The individually averaged changes in LnRMSSD from Tuesday to Wednesday were related to PlayerLoad (r = 0.46, p = 0.02) and body mass (r = −0.39, p = 0.04). Cardiac-parasympathetic activity did not return to resting values for LINEMEN or MID-SKILL before the next training session. Larger reductions in LnRMSSD tended to occur in players with greater body mass despite having performed lower workloads, although some individual variability was observed. These findings may have implications for how coaches and support staff address training and recovery interventions for players demonstrating inadequate cardiovascular recovery between sessions.

Abstract
Goto, H, Morris, JG, and Nevill, ME. Influence of biological maturity on the match performance of 8- to 16-year-old, elite, male, youth soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 33(11): 3078–3084, 2019—The aim of this study was to examine the influence of biological maturity on match performance in elite, youth, male soccer players. The participants were 80 Premier League Academy outfield players (8–16 years old). Biological maturity was determined by calculating estimated chronological age at peak height velocity. The U9 and U10 squads played 6-a-side and the U11-U16 squads played 11-a-side interacademy matches. All matches were analyzed using a 1-Hz global positioning system (SPI Elite™, GPSports, Canberra, Australia) with squad-specific speed zones, which were calculated based on 5-m flying sprint speed in the last 5 m of 10-m sprint test. In the U9/U10s, earlier maturers were given a longer pitch time by coaches (∼4 minutes per match; p = 0.029) and covered a greater total distance (∼9%; ∼400 m; p = 0.037) and a greater distance by walking (∼13%; ∼100 m; p = 0.024) and jogging (∼12%; ∼200 m; p = 0.014) during a match compared with later maturers. In the U13/U14s, earlier maturers covered a greater distance per hour of a match by high-speed running compared with later maturers (∼25%; ∼130 m; p = 0.028) and spent a longer percentage of time in high-speed running during a match compared with later maturers (3.4% vs. 2.7%, p = 0.034). Thus, coaches should take care to provide all players with a similar pitch time and should be aware in the talent identification and development process, particularly with the U13/U14 age group, because maturity can influence high-speed match running performance.

Published: February 2018

Background
Recently discovered mutations of NR3C1 gene, encoding for the GR, in patients with glucocorticoid resistance and bilateral adrenal incidentalomas prompted us to investigate whether GR mutations might be associated with adrenal hyperplasia.

Objective
The multicenter French Clinical Research Program (Muta-GR) was set up to determine the prevalence of GR mutations and polymorphisms in patients harboring bilateral adrenal incidentalomas associated with hypertension and/or biological hypercortisolism without clinical Cushing’s signs.

Results
One hundred patients were included in whom NR3C1 sequencing revealed five original heterozygous GR mutations that impaired GR signaling in vitro. Mutated patients presented with mild glucocorticoid resistance defined as elevated urinary free cortisol (1.7 ± 0.7 vs 0.9 ± 0.8 upper limit of normal range, P = 0.006), incomplete 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test without suppressed 8-AM adrenocorticotrophin levels (30.9 ± 31.2 vs 16.2 ± 17.5 pg/mL) compared to the non-mutated patients. Potassium and aldosterone levels were lower in mutated patients (3.6 ± 0.2 vs 4.1 ± 0.5 mmol/L, P = 0.01, and 17.3 ± 9.9 vs 98.6 ± 115.4 pg/mL, P = 0.0011, respectively) without elevated renin levels, consistent with pseudohypermineralocorticism. Ex vivo characterization of mutated patients’ fibroblasts demonstrated GR haploinsufficiency as revealed by below-normal glucocorticoid induction of FKBP5 gene expression. There was no association between GR polymorphisms and adrenal hyperplasia in this cohort, except an over-representation of BclI polymorphism.

Conclusion
The 5% prevalence of heterozygous NR3C1 mutations discovered in our series is higher than initially thought and encourages GR mutation screening in patients with adrenal incidentalomas to unambiguously differentiate from Cushing’s states and to optimize personalized follow-up.

Authors: Köroğlu Ayşegül , Şahin Onur , Dede Doğu Ömür , Adıgüzel Şeyda , Hazer Baki 
Published: February 2018

Background:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect
of adding four different monomers on the flexural strength, elastic modulus, impact
strength and residual monomer content of denture base resins polymerized by
copolymerization mechanism.Methods:Butyl methacrylate (BMA), Isobutyl mathacrylate (IBMA),
2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and methacryl-polyhedral silsesquioxane
(POSS-MA) were added to monomers of conventional heat (HP) and microwave
polymerized (MP) polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin at the concentrations of
2%, 5% and 10% per volume. The flexural strength, elastic modulus and impact
strength of specimens were measured with an universal testing machine and
Charpy-type impact tester. Residual monomer contents were determined by high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Results:10% IBMA and 10%
HEMA enhanced the flexural strength of HP resin. For the elastic modulus of MP resin,
significant differences observed between the control group and 2 and 5% IBMA, 5
and 10% HEMA, and 5% POSS-MA groups (P&lt;.05). Copolymerization mechanism had
no positive effect on the impact strength of denture base resins. Significant differences
were observed between the residual monomer of control group and 10% IBMA, 10%
BMA, 10% POSS-MA groups of HP resin (P&lt;.05). In MP resin group significant
differences were observed between control group and 5% IBMA, 2-5-10% HEMA
groups (P&lt;.05).Conclusions: Copolymerization
process was effective on the flexural strength of HP denture base resin with
10% IBMA and 10 % HEMA. However the process caused an increase in the residual
monomer content of some resin groups. Keywords: Denture base
resin, copolymer, flexural strength, impact strength, residual monomer.

Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVES:
To determine if pandemic influenza vaccination was associated with an increased risk of epilepsy in children.

METHODS:
Information from Norwegian registries from 2006 through 2014 on all children &lt;18 years living in Norway on October 1, 2009 was used in Cox regression models to estimate hazard ratios for incident epilepsy after vaccination. A self-controlled case series analysis was used to estimate incidence rate ratios in defined risk periods after pandemic vaccination.

RESULTS:
In Norway, the main period of the influenza A subtype H1N1 pandemic was from October 2009 to December 2009. On October 1, 2009, 1 154 113 children &lt;18 years of age were registered as residents in Norway. Of these, 572 875 (50.7%) were vaccinated against pandemic influenza. From October 2009 through 2014 there were 3628 new cases of epilepsy (incidence rate 6.09 per 10 000 person-years). The risk of epilepsy was not increased after vaccination: hazard ratio: 1.07; 95% confidence interval: 0.94–1.23. Results from the self-controlled case series analysis supported the finding of no association between vaccination and subsequent epilepsy.

CONCLUSIONS:
Pandemic influenza vaccination was not associated with increased risk of epilepsy. Concerns about pandemic vaccination causing epilepsy in children seem to be unwarranted.
Anxious attachment and excessive acquisition: The mediating roles of anthropomorphism and distress intolerance
Authors: Norberg Melissa M. , Crone Cassandra , Kwok Cathy , Grisham Jessica R. 
Published: February 2018

Background and aims
Most individuals with hoarding disorder (HD) are prone to excessively acquiring new possessions. Understanding the factors that contribute to this collecting behavior will allow us to develop better treatment approaches for HD. The aim of this study was to test our assumption that an anxious attachment style is associated with a tendency to anthropomorphize comforting objects and an inability to tolerate distress, which in turn leads to excessive acquisition.

Methods
A total of 361 participants with subclinical to clinical acquisition problems (77.8% female) completed a series of self-report measures.

Results
As expected, greater anxious attachment was related to greater distress intolerance and stronger tendencies to anthropomorphize inanimate objects. In turn, greater distress intolerance and anthropomorphism were related to more excessive buying and greater acquisition of free items. Examination of the pathways and indirect effects showed support for double mediation rather than serial mediation, as distress intolerance did not predict anthropomorphism.

Discussion and conclusion
These novel findings, if replicated, suggest that adding treatment modules that target improving distress tolerance and reducing anthropomorphism to standard treatment for HD may lead to further reductions in excessive acquiring.

Authors: Agusman Agusman , Danqing Feng 
Published: February 2018

Since algae are well known as the host of fungi, the information about total fungal community associated with alga is needed to give the initial data that is useful for natural product discovery. The study on total fungal community associated with marine macroalga U. intestinalis from Xiamen-China was carried out using MiSeq, a powerful platform for microbial ecology studies. Metagenomics DNA was isolated from surfaces of the U. intestinalis thallus and rocks colonized by this alga and 18S ribosomal RNA region was sequenced using MiSeq Illumina to yield 81360 sequences from 162720 reads, which average read length is 245.61 bp. The sequences were assigned to operational taxonomic units (OTUs), where 101 genera represent 5 phyla, 17 classes and 64 families of fungal. Ascomycota was the highest abundance share of fungal community at phylum level. Meanwhile Aspergillus, Blastobotrys, Alternaria, Knufia, and Fusarium were some of dominant genera found associated with U. intestinalis which have been reported as the promising source of natural products. By using MiSeq platform, this study revealed the total community structure of algicolous fungi associated with U. intestinalis.

Published: February 2018

Цель. Изучение изменения содержания концентрации циркулирующих иммунных комплексов, уровней иммуноглобулинов E и G и гистамина в крови и лимфе при экспериментальном анафилактическом шоке и феномене Артюса.
Методы. Эксперименты проведены на 27 кроликах породы шиншилла в двух сериях. Контролем служили исследуемые показатели концентраций циркулирующих иммунных комплексов, гистамина и иммуноглобулинов E и G в крови и лимфе интактных животных.
Результаты. Уровень гистамина при анафилактическом шоке повышается в 3,8 раза, тогда как уровень иммуноглобулинов E и G повышается соответственно в 14,7 и 3,5 раза в сравнении с интактными животными, а концентрация циркулирующих иммунных комплексов возрастает до 23 ммол/л за этот период. В условиях феномена Артюса уровень иммуноглобулина E в крови повышается в 1,3 раза, а иммуноглобулина G - в 4,3 раза. Концентрация циркулирующих иммунных комплексов возрастает в 11,8 раза, уровень гистамина повышается только в 3,5 раза в сравнении с интактными животными.
Вывод. Концентрация циркулирующих иммунных комплексов повышается как при анафилактическом шоке, так и при феномене Артюса; уровни иммуноглобулинов изменяются по-разному: при анафилактическом шоке происходит увеличение уровня иммуноглобулина E и снижение иммуноглобулина G, а при феномене Артюса, наоборот, повышение уровня иммуноглобулина G и снижение иммуноглобулина E; уровень гистамина увеличивается как при анафилактическом шоке, так и при феномене Артюса, однако при анафилактическом шоке - более значимо; в повышении концентрации гистамина в обеих аллергических реакциях роль циркулирующих иммунных комплексов не исключена, но основная роль, по-видимому, принадлежит иммуноглобулину E.

Published: February 2018

The problem of money-laundering is still valid in the Russian Federation. With the increasing role of the State in the economy, this question becomes particularly significant. Of course, monitoring of the funds movement plays a significant role, in particular, for companies, recipients of budgetary funds, including providers of the State Defense order (GOZ).To date, there is no generally accepted method, which would allow a high degree of probability to identify signs of money laundering.This article first describes how to detect signs of money-laundering on the basis of a comparison of the data of financial statements with bank operations data.Elaborated process was tested on the example of relevant data of thirty businesses complying with orders under the contracts with the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation in 2013.On the basis of the obtained results recommendations for the improvement of the elaborated process were formulated and the scope of its possible use was identified. Keywords: money laundering, the process approach, fraud, financial reporting
