A Tight Relation between Spiral Arm Pitch Angle and Protoplanetary Disk Mass
Authors: Yu Si-Yue , Ho Luis C. , Zhu Zhaohuan 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
We use two-dimensional Fourier transformation to measure the pitch angle (φ) of the dominant spiral Fourier mode of well-defined spiral arms in 13 protoplanetary disks, making use of near-infrared scattered-light images of AB Aur, SAO 206462, MWC 758, V1247 Ori, HD 142527, DZ Cha, LkHα 330, and HD 100453, and ALMA millimeter continuum images of Elias 2-27, IM Lup, AS 205, and HT Lup. We find that the measured pitch angle correlates strongly with disk mass (M

D
), such that more massive protoplanetary disks have smaller pitch angles, following

. Interestingly, four disks with a known companion (HD 142527, HD 100453, AS 205, and HT Lup) share the same trend. Such a strong dependence of spiral arm pitch angle on disk mass suggests that the disk mass, independent of the formation mechanism, plays a fundamental role in determining the arm tightness of the observed spiral structure. The physical origin of the

relation is still not clear. The pitch angle of spiral arms in protoplanetary disks provides an independent constraint on the disk mass.

Published: May 2019

Background:
Millions of Americans have low health literacy, potentially leading to a number of issues including medication errors, hospital admissions, unnecessary emergency department visits, skipped screenings and shots, and misinterpretation of treatment plans. People with low health literacy have less knowledge of illness management, less ability to share in decision-making, and poorer self-reported health status. Addressing health literacy is necessary to improve health care quality, reduce costs, and reduce disparities.

Objective:
The How to Talk to Your Doctor (HTTTYD) HANDbook Program addresses health literacy among rural participants who have low incomes, with a focus on improving health communication among populations that are medically vulnerable by using the HANDbook tool.

Methods:
Participants were recruited from 55 rural counties by county extension agents (CEA) to participate in the 1-hour HTTTYD session. Pre- and post-test surveys were completed. A subset of the sample completed a 3-month follow-up survey.

Key Results:

Of the 548 participants who fully completed the survey, a Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was performed on 484 of the participants who completed both the pre- and post-test. A statistically significant median increase in overall confidence among the participants from pre- (
M
= 15.99) to post-test (
M
= 17.76), (
z
= 13.454,
p
= .000), was noted. A subset of 166 participants also completed the 3-month follow-up survey. A significant increase in health literacy after participation in the HTTTYD HANDbook program from pre-test to 3-month follow-up was noted; effect sizes ranged from moderate to large.

Conclusion:

The HTTTYD HANDbook program meets recommendations for successful health literacy programs; significant positive outcomes demonstrate program effectiveness. HTTTYD HANDbook program delivery in rural communities by CEAs demonstrates access to understudied and often difficult-to-reach populations.

Published: May 2019

Liffey Swim is a book of poems by the Irish writer Jessica Traynor (2015). It features characteristics to contemporary Irish literature, such as Irish identity and local culture related to other cultures. The Liffey Swim translation project takes into account Irishness alongside the theoretical and methodological reflections on translation of poetry through translation stages that observed form and content. This article presents a two-step result from the translation process of one of the poems, Sin-eater. The poem depicts a death ritual in Ireland, one of the defining themes of Irish literature. The first stage comprises the result of a cultural and linguistic revision, while the second stage focused on the rhythm and other phonetic aspects, for the reconstruction of image and spirit.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE GENERAL IMAGE QUALITY EQUATION
Authors: Valenzuela A. Q. , Reyes J. C. G. 
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The General Image Quality Equation (GIQE) is an analytical tool derived by regression modelling that is routinely employed to gauge the interpretability of raw and processed images, computing the most popular quantitative metric to evaluate image quality; the National Image Interpretability Rating Scale (NIIRS). There are three known versions of this equation; GIQE 3, GIQE 4 and GIQE 5, but the last one is scarcely known. The variety of versions, their subtleties, discontinuities and incongruences, generate confusion and problems among users. The first objective of this paper is to identify typical sources of confusion in the use of the GIQE, suggesting novel solutions to the main problems found in its application and presenting the derivation of a continuous form of GIQE 4, denominated GIQE 4C, that provides better correlation with GIQE 3 and GIQE 5. The second objective of this paper is to compare the predictions of GIQE 4C and GIQE 5, regarding the maximum image quality rating that can be achieved by image processing techniques. It is concluded that the transition from GIQE 4 to GIQE 5 is a major paradigm shift in image quality metrics, because it reduces the benefit of image processing techniques and enhances the importance of the raw image and its signal to noise ratio.
Factors that influence the quality of worklife of first-line nurse managers in a French Canadian Healthcare system
Authors: Brousseau Sylvain , Cara Chantal , Blais Régis 
Published: May 2019

Aim(s): This quantitative study sought to explore the factors that influence positively and negatively the quality of work life (QWL) of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) among healthcare institutions from a humanistic standpoint.Background: In Canada, the public healthcare reforms have had a considerable impact on FLNMs, which could have a negative effect on the FLNMs’ QWL.Method: A quantitative descriptive design was conducted with FLNMs (n = 291) using a Web online survey to identify the factors that influenced favorably and unfavorably the FLNMs’ QWL. A statistical analysis (SPSS software, version 22 for Windows 7) of Quebec’s French Web survey questionnaire highlight was used to conduct this descriptive study.Results: The quantitative results show some significant connections between socio-demographic characteristics, such as age and years of experience, and the choice of factors that affect QWL of FLNMs . The most important favourable factors were the actualization of leadership and political skills to improve quality of nursing, the contextual elements conducive to organizational humanization and the organizational support promoting personal and socioprofessional fulfillment. On the opposite, the main unfavourable factors were the organizational dehumanization, the undesirable working conditions in nursing management and the insufficient coaching of novice nurse managers.Conclusion: Healthcare organizations should develop a QWL program and policies to provide information on nursing management humanistic practices. These findings enable us to provide recommendations in the fourth domains of nursing practice.Implications for nursing management: Healthcare administrators must consider strategies to maximize the QWL of the next generation of FLNMs in healthcare institutions.
Osteoporosis and Implant-Related Complications After Anatomic and Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Authors: Casp Aaron J. , Montgomery Samuel R. , Cancienne Jourdan M. , Brockmeier Stephen F. , Werner Brian C. 
Published: May 2019

Introduction:
Osteoporosis is a widespread and growing medical condition, with significant orthopaedic implications. However, the effect of osteoporosis on outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is not well understood. The goal of the present study was to characterize the incidence of osteoporosis in patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty and to examine whether patients with osteoporosis undergoing anatomic and reverse TSA are at an increased risk of prosthetic-related complications.

Methods:
Complication rates were calculated for patients with osteoporosis who underwent anatomic and reverse TSA as separate cohorts within 2 years of surgery including loosening/osteolysis, periprosthetic fracture, periprosthetic dislocation, and revision shoulder arthroplasty and compared using a multivariable logistic regression analysis to control for patient demographics and comorbidities during comparisons, including the indication for reverse TSA.

Results:
The prevalence of an osteoporosis diagnosis at the time of surgery was 14.3% for anatomic TSA patients and 26.2% of reverse TSA patients. Anatomic TSA patients with osteoporosis experienced significantly higher rates of periprosthetic fracture (odds ratio [OR], 1.49; P = 0.017) and revision shoulder arthroplasty (OR, 1.21; P = 0.009) within 2 years of surgery compared with matched controls without osteoporosis. Patients in the reverse TSA group with osteoporosis also had significantly higher rates of periprosthetic fracture (OR, 1.86; P = 0.001) and revision shoulder arthroplasty (OR, 1.42; P = 0.005) within 2 years of surgery compared with matched controls.

Discussion:
A significant number of patients undergoing both anatomic and reverse TSA have a concurrent diagnosis of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis represents a significant independent risk factor for periprosthetic fracture and revision shoulder arthroplasty within 2 years of surgery, regardless of the type of implant. Patients with osteoporosis should be counseled on their increased risk of complications after shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract:Physical and mental symptomatology associated with burnout syndrome in teachers.The aim of the present study was to examine the association between burnout and somatic and psychopathological symptomatology, in a sample of 171 teachers working in educational institutions (preschool, elementary school, and middle school). Participants completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Somatic Symptoms Scale–Revised (Escala de Síntomas Somáticos–Revisada, ESS-R), and the Symptoms Assessment–45 Questionnaire (SA-45). Results indicate that the MBI dimension of “emotional exhaustion” is closely associated with somatic and psychopathological symptoms. Also, we found that teachers with burnout syndrome reported a higher level of (somatic and psychopathologic) symptomatology compared to non-burnout teachers. Results are discussed in relation to possible profiles associated with burnout.Key words: Burnout syndrome; teachers; somatic symptoms; psychopathological symptoms, health. Resumen:El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en examinar la asociación entre el burnout y la sintomatología somática y psicopatológica en una muestra de 171 docentes (media de edad = 39.23, DT= 11.12) que trabajaban en centros educativos (preescolar, primaria, y ESO/bachillerato). Los participantes cumplimentaron el Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), la Escala de Síntomas Somáticos–Revisada (ESS-R), y el Symptoms Assessment–45 Questionnaire (SA-45). Los resultados indican que la dimensión de “agotamiento emocional” del MBI se asocia estrechamente a la sintomatología somática y psicopatológica. Así mismo, se constata que los docentes con síndrome de burnout informan de mayor nivel de sintomatología (somática y psicopatológica) comparado con los docentes sin el síndrome. Se discuten los resultados en relación con los posibles perfiles asociados al burnout.Palabras clave: Síndrome de burnout; docentes; profesores; síntomas somáticos; síntomas psicopatológicos; salud.

Published: May 2019

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of material and thickness on the translucency parameters (TP) and opalescence parameters (OP) for resin matrix ceramic blocks. Materials and Methods: 90 disc-shaped specimens (8 mm diameter and A2 shade, High Translucency) were fabricated from Vita Enamic, Lava Ultimate and GC Cerasmart resin-matrix ceramic blocks and prepared to thicknesses of 0.5 mm, 1 mm and 1.5 mm (n=10). A dental spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade Advance) was used to calculate the TP and OP. All specimens were placed on white and black backgrounds. The color measurements were repeated three times for each of the specimens and the mean values of L, a and b were calculated. Data were analyzed by a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s test. Results: For the 0.5 mm thickness groups, GC Cerasmart had the highest and Vita Enamic had the lowest TP values. For the 1 mm thickness groups, GC Cerasmart had the highest TP, whereas Vita Enamic had the lowest TP. For the 1.5 mm thickness groups, Lava Ultimate had the highest TP, whereas Vita Enamic had the lowest TP. For the 0.5 mm thickness groups, Vita Enamic, and GC Cerasmart had the highest and lowest OP, respectively. The OP values in the 1 mm thickness group of Vita Enamic groups were higher than the GC Cerasmart and Lava Ultimate groups. The OP values in the 1.5 mm thickness group Lava Ultimate group were higher than the GC Cerasmart and Vita Enamic groups. In all groups, the OP values showed an increase in parallel with the increase in thicknesses, in contrast, the TP values showed a decrease. Conclusions: Type and thickness of the resin matrix ceramics affect the optical properties of the materials.
Dimensión social del alumnado que cursa formación continua a nivel de posgrado en educación superior en Paraguay: el caso de la Universidad Autónoma de Asunción
Authors: Caballero Merlo Javier Numan 
Published: May 2019

El objetivo es analizar de manera institucional la dimensión social de los estudiantes de posgrados en el área de educación en la UAA. Esto, desde el paradigma pragmático (mixto) y el método de investigación evaluativa, no experimental, desarrollando un análisis según los datos descriptivos del informe por síntesis de los ítems del cuestionario[1] aplicado dentro del marco de la participación en el mismo.

Entre los resultados se encuentran: la hegemonía femenina en la matricula; la baja participación en casi todos los ámbitos salvo en aquellos directamente vinculados con sus actividades académicas; mayor capital cultural respecto a sus ascendientes; que el capital heredado condiciona pero no determina la movilidad meritocrática individual; la mayoría trabaja para costearse sus estudios; niveles muy bajos de becarios; la nula inclusión de estudiantes de origen indígena; y, la participación mayoritaria en actividades asociadas al uso de tecnologías de la información comparadas con otras actividades culturales.

Las conclusiones principales son la relevancia de los datos sobre la dimensión social para la gobernanza, y la corrección-ajuste de la agenda de su política institucional, considerando la realidad social de origen de los educandos y la pertinencia curricular con la que son formados los nuevos docentes. Y que, los resultados destacan la beta de acceso amplio a las TICs, lo que potencia el desarrollo del e-learning como buena práctica innovadora institucional.

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the lasing properties of 4,4′-bis[(N-carbazole)styryl]biphenyl thin films under electrical pumping. The electroluminescent devices incorporate a mixed-order distributed feedback SiO2 grating into an organic light-emitting diode structure and emit blue lasing. The results provide an indication of lasing by direct injection of current into an organic thin film through selection of a high-gain organic semiconductor showing clear separation of the lasing wavelength from significant triplet and polaron absorption and design of a proper feedback structure with low losses at high current densities. This study represents an important advance toward a future organic laser diode technology.

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) feeds have changed drastically in their composition from being predominantly marine-based to plant-based. This has altered the dietary supply and availability of micro-nutrients to Atlantic salmon. The impact of graded inclusion levels of a nutrient package (NP) comprising of 25 different micro-nutrients were studied in Atlantic salmon parr in freshwater (Trial 1) and post-smolts in seawater (Trial 2). In brief, the NP was included from 0 to 400%, where 100% corresponded to the recommendation by the National Research Council, 2011. Micro-nutrients, namely Zn, Mn, Se, Cu, Fe, Co, I and vitamin D3 were included in the NP with the objective of (re)evaluating the dietary need to meet the requirement of Atlantic salmon parr and post-smolt, when fed low fish meal, plant ingredient-based diets. Responses in apparent availability coefficient (AAC), whole body and vertebrae mineral concentrations, and retention were analysed. AAC of Cu, Mn, Se and Zn responded in a quadratic fashion with an increase in NP from 0 to 400% in freshwater parr; AAC could not be measured in post-smolt salmon. The whole-body concentration of Zn, Se, Co and I in Atlantic salmon parr were significantly affected by increasing NP inclusion; the same was observed for Zn, Se and Co in post-smolt Atlantic salmon. Vertebrae mineral concentration as the response criterion was non-responsive in parr; whereas, in post-smolt, Co had a linear increase, while Zn and Se showed a non-linear increase upon 0 to 400 NP inclusion. Zinc concentration and activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) in vertebrae indicated increased bone resorption in post-smolt Atlantic salmon; TRAP activity increased linearly with NP inclusion in post-smolt, but not in parr. Significant correlations between Zn and Se were observed in AAC and vertebral concentrations, indicating an interaction in intestinal uptake and vertebral deposition. Overall, Atlantic salmon parr held in freshwater were able to satisfy the requirement for the trace minerals Zn, Mn, Se, Cu, and Fe through supply from 100–150 NP, corresponding to 101–132, 47–63, 0.6–0.8, 12–16 and 150–166 mg kg −1, respectively; for iodine, dietary supply from 150–200 NP, corresponding to 0.7–1.6 mg kg−1, was required. In the seawater, Atlantic salmon post-smolt, in general, required micro-minerals and vitamin D3 levels as supplied through 150–200 NP, corresponding to 140–177, Zn; 61–67, Mn; 0.9–1, Se; 14–16, Cu; and vitamin D3, 0.06–0.09 mg kg −1 to fulfil the requirement, except for Cu which was satisfied at 100–150 NP, equivalent to 13–14 mg kg −1 diet.

Published: May 2019

Organizations needs knowledge creation capability and organizational forgetting to enrich their innovative performance in ever-changing business setting.The purpose of this article is to explore the influence of knowledge creation capability, organizational forgetting and absorptive capacity on Firm’s innovative performance. We test the model using Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze empirical data collected from 194SMEs listed in Sri Lanka inventors’ commission.The findings of the study show that in addition to their individually positive impact of knowledge creation capability and organizational forgetting on firm’s innovative performance, the absorptive capacity mediates the relationship between knowledge creation capability, organizational forgetting and innovation performance. As one of the first studies to integrate the capabilities of creating internal new knowledge and unlearning outdated knowledge for advancing firm innovativenessthrough the mediating effect of absorptive capacity. A major implication of this finding is that absorptive capacity enhances the effect of knowledge creation capability and organizational forgetting on firm's innovativeness and affects the types of innovation strategies adopted by firms.
Abnormal Changes in Some Haemostatic Parameters in First-ever Stroke Patients in Port Harcourt, Nigeria: A Preliminary Findings
Authors: Buseri Fiekumo Igbida , Christian Serekara Gideon , Eze Evelyn Mgbeoma 
Published: May 2019

Background and Purpose: Cellular component and clotting factors are involved in thrombotic events such as stroke, but the type and nature of alteration of those haemostatic parameters remain unclear. Our objective was to identify possible abnormal changes in some haemostatic parameters in established stroke patients.
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective case-control study conducted at Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Standard operating procedures were adopted to assay fibrinogen, antithrombin, tissue plasminogen activator, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time as well as the determination of platelet count and platelet indices. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17.0 software.
Results: A total of 108 individuals comprised of 54 stroke patients aged between 45 and 73 years (mean, 59± 13.04 years), 20 (37.04%) men and 34 (62.96%) women and another 54 age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects were studied. Significantly (p<0.05) higher mean values of mean platelet volume (MPPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), Platelet larger cell ratio (PLCR), antithrombin, tissue plasminogen activator and fibrinogen were observed in the stroke patients when compared to those of the control subjects. Whereas, significantly lower (p<0.05) mean values of platelet count, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time were observed in the stroke patients than in those of the control subjects.
Conclusion: Several haemostatic parameters were found to be altered in stroke patients and have the potential to be risk factors but have not been demonstrated as being causative. Further work is needed to establish where they begin to contribute to stroke prognosis.
