Published: September 2018

Objective To assess 11 formulae commonly used to estimate fetal weight in a population of premature fetuses who had abnormal Doppler velocimetry due to early-onset placental insufficiency. The performance of each formula was evaluated in subgroups of fetuses with expected growth and intrauterine growth restriction.
Methods Data were collected from fetuses and mothers who delivered at three Brazilian hospitals between November 2002 and December 2013. We used the following formulae: Campbell; Hadlock I, II, III, IV and V; Shepard; Warsof; Weiner I and II; and Woo III.
Results We analyzed 194 fetuses. Of these, 116 (59.8%) were considered appropriate for gestational age (AGA), and 103 (53.1%) were male. The amniotic fluid volume was reduced in 87 (44.8%) fetuses, and the umbilical artery Doppler revealed absence or inversion of diastolic flow in 122 (62.9%) cases, and the analysis of the ductus venosus revealed abnormal flow in 60 (34.8%) fetuses. The Hadlock formulae using three or four fetal biometric parameters had low absolute percentage error in the estimated fetal weight among preterm fetuses with abnormal Doppler studies who were born within 5 days of the ultrasound evaluation. The results were not influenced by the clinical and ultrasound parameters often found in early-onset placental insufficiency.
Conclusion In this study, the formulae with the best performance for fetal weight estimation in the analyzed population were Hadlock I and IV, which use four and three fetal biometric parameters respectively to estimate the weight of preterm fetuses with abnormal Doppler studies.

AbstractPatients at high risk for venous thrombosis (VT) following knee arthroscopy could potentially benefit from thromboprophylaxis. We explored the predictive values of environmental, genetic risk factors and levels of coagulation markers to integrate these into a prediction model. Using a population-based case–control study into the aetiology of VT, we developed a Complete (all variables), Screening (easy to use in clinical practice) and Clinical (only environmental risk factors) model. The Clinical model was transformed into the Leiden-Thrombosis Risk Prediction (arthroscopy) score [L-TRiP(ascopy) score]. Model validation was performed both internally and externally in another case–control study. A total of 4,943 cases and 6,294 controls were maintained in the analyses, 107 cases and 26 controls had undergone knee arthroscopy. Twelve predictor variables (8 environmental, 3 haemorheological and 1 genetic) were selected from 52 candidates and incorporated into the Complete model (area under the curve [AUC] of 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76–0.86). The Screening model (9 predictors: environmental factors plus factor VIII activity) reached an AUC of 0.76 (95% CI, 0.64–0.88) and the Clinical (and corresponding L-TRiP(ascopy)) model an AUC of 0.72 (95% CI, 0.60–0.83). In the internal and external validation, the Complete model reached an AUC of 0.78 (95% CI, 0.52–0.98) and 0.75 (95% CI, 0.42–1.00), respectively, while the other models performed slightly less well.

SummaryA Pan-European group of psychiatric trainees conducted a semi-structured web-based survey of factors influencing decision-making in relation to antipsychotic, antidepressant and mood stabilizer prescribing. The acceptance of such a survey is in itself a positive result. In the current climate of evidence based medicine and guidelines, preliminary results from this survey suggest that, when asked regarding treatment choice for themselves, psychiatry trainees preferred second-generation atypical antipsychotic medication, based on perceived efficacy. The results for mood stabilisers were less striking. The relevance of this survey, in the context of recent evidence, may relate to trainees’ perceptions as opposed to evidence base.
Ratcheting droplet pairs

Published: September 2018

Millimetric droplets may be levitated on the surface of a vibrating fluid bath. Eddi et al. [Europhys. Lett. 82, 44001 (2008)] demonstrated that when a pair of levitating drops of unequal size are placed nearby, they interact through their common wavefield in such a way as to self-propel through a ratcheting mechanism. We present the results of an integrated experimental and theoretical investigation of such ratcheting pairs. Particular attention is given to characterizing the dependence of the ratcheting behavior on the droplet sizes and vibrational acceleration. Our experiments demonstrate that the quantized inter-drop distances of a ratcheting pair depend on the vibrational acceleration, and that as this acceleration is increased progressively, the direction of the ratcheting motion may reverse up to four times. Our simulations highlight the critical role of both the vertical bouncing dynamics of the individual drops and the traveling wave fronts generated during impact on the ratcheting motion, allowing us to rationalize the majority of our experimental findings.
Magnetically Separable and Reusable Fe3O4/ZnO/Nanographene Platelets Photocatalyst for the Removal of Dye

Published: September 2018

Abstract
In this study, we report the sol-gel synthesis of nanocomposite Fe3O4/ZnO with nanographene platelets (NGP)and characterized by suitable techniques, including field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. The as-synthesized Fe3O4/ZnO/NGP nanocomposites materials were used for photocatalyst under UV as well as visible light irradiation to remove methylene blue as a model of organic polutan. The XRD spectra reveal peaks that can be attributed to cubic spinel Fe3O4, hexagonal wurtzite ZnO and nanographene platelets structure. The FESEM images show Fe3O4/ZnO uniformly decorating NGP sheets. EDX analysis signifies the formation of Fe3O4/ZnO/NGP. The photocatalytic activity was found to be ZnO loading dependent. Higher ZnO loading lead to higher rate of photocatalytic activity under UV light irradiation, while the opposite trend observed under visible light irradiation. The addition of NGP effectively enhanced the photocatalytic performance of Fe3O4/ZnO nanocomposites. Separation of Fe3O4/ZnO/NGP nanocomposites from the solution could be achieved by applying an external magnetic field, demonstrating the magnetic properties of the nanocomposites.

Abstract
In this study, magnetic recyclable catalyst Fe3O4/CuO/ZnO/nanographene platelets (Fe3O4/CuO/ZnO/NGP) and Fe3O4/CuO/TiO2/nanographene platelets (Fe3O4/CuO/TiO2/NGP) composites were synthesized by simple hydrothermal method. Methylene blue was used as a model of textile dye to evaluate their catalytic activities. A range of analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer were employed to reveal the crystal structure, composition and property of the nanocomposites. The catalytic performance was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution under UV light and ultrasonic irradiation simultaneously. X-ray diffraction results revealed that cubic spinel Fe3O4, monoclinic CuO, hexagonal wurtzite ZnO and graphene platelets exist in Fe3O4/CuO/ZnO/NGP, while in Fe3O4/CuO/TiO2/NGP nanocomposites instead of hexagonal wurtzite ZnO, anatase TiO2 is observed. These results confirmed that the nanocomposites were the desired materials. In addition, all samples exhibited ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature and could be rapidly separated from aqueous solution for repeated use under external magnetic field. From the degradation of methylene blue, it is found that the as-prepared nanocomposites exhibited excellent catalytic activity compared with nanocomposite synthesized without nanographene platelets. The nanocomposites still retain the 100% of the initial activity after it has been used four times repeatedly.
Assessment of existing steel bridges: codes and standard
Authors: Siviero Erica , Pavan Roberto 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The assessment of existing structures adopting a specific code or standard is a technical procedure that is provided only in some nation. The possibility of harmonizing these type of procedure is needed in Europe, together with a completely new plan of infrastructural renewal. In this study new insight on this theme are provided, together with some code proposal for the new Eurocode era. Many existing bridges all over the world were not designed for the high service loads and the increased number of load cycles that they are exposed to today. Some bridges will have to be either strengthened or replaced in the next decades. Advancing their age, bridges could be subjected to a large variety of not designed actions or could also be not accurately maintained, leading to a particular state in which they need particular care and attention, in order to remain in service. Moreover, existing structures were not exempted from serious failures and engineers had regularly to suffer setbacks. These setbacks contributed in many cases, however, to research and advancements in better understanding structural behaviour and developing new theories (Kuhn et al. 2010). In these cases, the assessment procedures are needed.

Published: September 2018

AbstractThe American Journal of Agricultural Economics reached its 100th volume this year. We take this landmark volume as an opportunity to reflect on the evolution of this leading field journal—and one of the original research journals in economics. We document changes in the editorial structure of the journal—from a sole editor‐in‐chief to the present system of four rotating co‐editors—and in the management of the publication process overseen by these editors. Using bibliometric analysis, we then track various trends in the journal over the past century. We assess changes in the structure of articles, including increased article length, reliance on mathematical modeling and empirical analysis, and the dramatic rise in collaborative publication in the form of expanding co‐author teams. We also explore changes in the degree of topical specialization and the geographic coverage of research published in AJAE. We use co‐authoring relationships to construct collaboration networks specific to the journal and document the striking increase in the density of these networks. We conclude with some perspectives on the implications of this century‐long evolution of the journal for the coming decades of pushing and publishing the frontiers of the profession.

Abstract
Prenatal cadmium exposure has been associated with impaired fetal growth; much less is known about the impact during later childhood on growth and cardiometabolic traits. To elucidate the associations of prenatal cadmium exposure with child growth, adiposity, and cardiometabolic traits in 515 mother-child pairs in the Rhea Mother-Child Study cohort (Heraklion, Greece, 2007–2012), we measured urinary cadmium concentrations during early pregnancy and assessed their associations with repeated weight and height measurements (taken from birth through childhood), waist circumference, skinfold thickness, blood pressure, and serum lipid, leptin, and C-reactive protein levels at age 4 years. Adjusted linear, Poisson, and mixed-effects regression models were used, with interaction terms for child sex and maternal smoking added. Elevated prenatal cadmium levels (third tertile of urinary cadmium concentration (0.571–2.658 μg/L) vs. first (0.058–0.314 μg/L) and second (0.315–0.570 μg/L) tertiles combined) were significantly associated with a slower weight trajectory (per standard deviation score) in all children (β = −0.17, 95% confidence interval (CI): −0.32, −0.02) and a slower height trajectory in girls (β = −0.30, 95% CI: −0.52,−0.09; P for interaction = 0.025) and in children born to mothers who smoked during pregnancy (β = −0.48, 95% CI: −0.83, −1.13; P for interaction = 0.027). We concluded that prenatal cadmium exposure was associated with delayed growth in early childhood. Further research is needed to understand cadmium-related sex differences and the role of coexposure to maternal smoking during early pregnancy.
Finite element approximation of a strain-limiting elastic model

Published: September 2018

AbstractWe construct a finite element approximation of a strain-limiting elastic model on a bounded open domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \in \{2,3\}$. The sequence of finite element approximations is shown to exhibit strong convergence to the unique weak solution of the model. A rate of convergence for the sequence of finite element approximations is shown provided that the material parameters featuring in the model are Lipschitz continuous and that the exact solution possesses additional regularity. A rate of convergence for the sequence of finite element approximations is shown provided that the material parameters featuring in the model are Lipschitz continuous and that the exact solution possesses additional regularity. An iterative algorithm is constructed for the solution of the system of nonlinear algebraic equations that arises from the finite element approximation. An appealing feature of the iterative algorithm is that it decouples the monotone and linear elastic parts of the nonlinearity in the model. In particular, our choice of piecewise constant approximation for the stress tensor (and continuous piecewise linear approximation for the displacement) allows us to compute the monotone part of the nonlinearity by solving an algebraic system with $d(d+1)/2$ unknowns independently on each element in the subdivision of the computational domain. The theoretical results are illustrated by numerical experiments.

Abstract

Objective
This study evaluates whether a web-based educational program for patients who read their mental health notes online improves patient-clinician communication and increases patient activation.

Methods
The web-based educational program, developed with end-user input, was designed to educate patients on the content of mental health notes, provide guidance on communicating with clinicians about notes, and facilitate patients’ safe and purposeful use of their health information. Eligible patients were engaged in mental health treatment (≥1 visit in the prior 6 months) and had logged into the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) patient portal at least twice. Participants completed measures of patient activation, perceived efficacy in healthcare interactions, patient trust in their clinicians, and patient assessment of the therapeutic relationship before and after participating in the program. A total of 247 participants had complete data and engaged with the program for 5 minutes or more, comprising the analytic sample. Multivariate analysis using mixed effects models were used to examine pre-post changes in outcomes.

Results
In bivariate analyses, patient activation, perceived efficacy in healthcare interactions, and trust in clinicians increased significantly between pre- and post-training assessments. In fully adjusted models, changes in patient activation [b = 2.71 (1.41, 4.00), P &lt; 0.01] and perceived efficacy in healthcare interactions [b = 1.27 (0.54, 2.01), P &lt; 0.01)] remained significant.

Conclusions
Findings suggest that this educational program may help empower mental health patients who read their notes online to be active participants in their care, while also providing information and tools that may facilitate better relationships with their clinicians.

Abstract
We describe a scalable platform for research-oriented analyses of routine data in hospitals, which evolved from a state-of-the-art business intelligence architecture for enterprise resource planning. This platform involves an in-memory database management system for data modeling and analytics and a high-performance cluster for more computing-intensive analytical tasks. Setting up platforms for research-oriented analyses is a highly dynamic, time-consuming, and costly process. In some health care institutions, effective research platforms may be derived from existing business intelligence systems.

ABSTRACT
Water fountains are evolved stars showing early stages of collimated mass-loss during transition from the asymptotic giant branch, providing valuable insight into the formation of asymmetric planetary nebulae. We report the results of multi-epoch VLBI observations, which determine the spatial and three-dimensional kinematic structure of H2O masers associated with the water fountain IRAS 18113−2503. The masers trace three pairs of high-velocity (∼150–300 km s−1) bipolar bow shocks on a scale of 0${^{\prime\prime}_{.}}$18 (∼2000 au). The expansion velocities of the bow shocks exhibit an exponential decrease as a function of distance from the central star, which can be explained by an episodic, jet-driven outflow decelerating due to drag forces in a circumstellar envelope. Using our model, we estimate an initial ejection velocity ∼840 km s−1, a period for the ejections ∼10 yr, with the youngest being ∼12 yr old, and an average envelope density within the H2O maser region $n_{\text{H}_2}{\approx }10^{6}$ cm−3. We hypothesize that IRAS 18113−2503 hosts a binary central star with a separation of ∼10 au, revealing novel clues about the launching mechanisms of high-velocity collimated outflows in water fountains.
Beyond the Poisoned Wells
Authors: Lamptey Jerusha Tanner 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This chapter explores the way hegemonic othering, patriarchy, and androcentrism impact Islamic feminist approaches to the Islamic tradition and to interreligious feminist engagement. To provide a concrete illustration, it surveys prominent positions adopted in the debate over the validity and referent of “Islamic feminism” and connects this to the main interpretative strategies Muslim women scholars in the United States use to negotiate and assert authority. Building on more recent critiques of the, the chapter then argues for the necessity of a new model of interreligious feminist engagement that goes beyond the story of “poisoned wells,” a new model that can address obstacles in interreligious feminist engagement; grapple with hegemony, patriarchy, and androcentrism; and respond to Islamic feminist calls for new approaches. The chapter concludes with an overview of the remaining parts of the book.
Claiming Texts
Authors: Lamptey Jerusha Tanner 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This chapter focuses on dominant trends in Islamic feminist engagement with ahadith, including the primary issues presented by the hadith corpus, central interpretative approaches, and critical calls for more extensive and systematic engagement. Extending the analogical starting point of the Qur’an and Jesus Christ, it engages Christian feminist biblical exegetical approaches articulated by Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, Musa Dube, and Phyllis Trible. These exegetes raise similar questions about androcentrism and misogyny, authority and communal function of the texts, and interpretative strategies. The chapter concludes by proposing ways in which Muslima theology can extend beyond both classical Islamic methods of hadith assessment (usul al-hadith) and a basic hermeneutic of suspicion to reclaim hadith literature through additional hermeneutic strategies, revisiting the relegation of extra-Islamic or non-Islamic materials, and collective reading.
Bearers of the Words
Authors: Lamptey Jerusha Tanner 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This chapter examines extant theological views of Prophet Muhammad as an exemplar, noting tensions between humanization and idealization, and introducing Islamic feminist interventions related to exemplariness, prophethood, and emulation. It then engages Christian feminist perspectives on Mary and Mariology from Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, Elina Vuola, and Marcella Althaus-Reid. These theologians explore the way gender, ideal representations, and power are present in Mariology and Marian dogmas and practices. The chapter returns to Muslima theology and outlines ways to re-envision the “beautiful example” of Prophet Muhammad in light of discussions of gender, power, and a hierarchical status quo.
Epilogue
Authors: Lamptey Jerusha Tanner 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The epilogue restates the central themes of the book and the objectives of this particular comparative feminist theological project. Dominant systems of privilege are invested in upholding boundaries, whether based on gender, race, or religious identity. Experience is authoritative. Embodiment matters. Ritual is a manifestation and site of change. Communities must reclaim agency and embrace the challenge of responsiveness. Denial is a form of invisibilization and injustice. Conscientization is essential. The prophetic example and transformative taqwa call us to do more than imitate. Interreligious spaces and engagements are opportunities that enrich both in their similarities and distinctions. It also reiterates the provocative and transformative nature of the Word of God in the world.
