“Rainbow Draws” in the Emergency Department: Clinical Utility and Staff Perceptions
Authors: Snozek Christine L H , Hernandez James S , Traub Stephen J 
Published: October 2018

Abstract

Background
Collecting a predefined set of blood tubes (the “rainbow draw”) is a common but controversial practice in many emergency departments (EDs), with limited data to support it. We determined the actual utilization of rainbow draw tubes at a single facility and evaluated the perceptions of ED staff regarding the utility of rainbow draws.

Methods
We analyzed 2 weeks of ED visits (1326 visits by 1240 unique patients) to determine blood tube utilization for initial and add-on testing, as well as the incidence of additional venipunctures. We also surveyed ED staff regarding aspects of ED phlebotomy and test ordering. Utilization data analysis was structured to satisfy specific concerns addressed in the ED staff survey.

Results
Observed tube utilization data showed that fluoride/oxalate, citrate, and serum separator tubes were frequently discarded unused, and that the actual utility of the rainbow draw for add-on testing and avoiding additional venipunctures was low. ED staff perceived that the rainbow draw was highly valuable, both to expedite add-on testing and to avoid additional venipunctures. Contrasting the objective (utilization data) and subjective (survey results) to drive changes in the standard ED blood collection reduced the estimated waste blood by 175 L/year.

Conclusions
Comparison of perceptions and objective utilization data drove process changes that were mutually agreeable to ED and laboratory staff. Although specifics of ED and laboratory work flows vary between institutions, the principles and strategy of this study are widely applicable.

Published: October 2018

Brain tumors are the second most common malignancy and the most common solid tumors found in childhood. During 11 months 19 patients with brain tumors were hospitalized at the Department of Child Health, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusurno Hospital, Jakarta, 10 of them were males. The youngest patient was 5 months old and the oldest was 13 years old. The important signs and symptoms in establishing diagnosis were the non-localizing signs and symptoms, i.e., nausea and vomiting. The most frequent localizing signs and symptoms were papilledema, cranial nerves palsy, ataxia and incoordination, hemiparesis, visual disturbances, and optic atrophy. Focal seizures were rare.
Most of the tumors were in infratentorial region, and metastatic tumors were rare. The mortality of this series was high due to the severity of the disease. The most frequent of tumors are astrocytomas and medulloblastomas.
Zemsta matką sprawiedliwości. Wergeld (główszczyzna) w Prusach Krzyżackich i Prusach Książęcych.
Authors: Białuński Grzegorz 
Published: October 2018

W świecie cywilizacji tradycyjnej (barbarzyńskiej) wymiar sprawiedliwości był realizowany w drodze samopomocy, tzw. wróżdy (legalnej zemsty rodowej, germ. faida). Zemsta musiała mieć charakter jawny i stanowiła wręcz obowiązek wszystkich współrodowców, oczywiście spośród ludziwolnych. Legalność wróżdy wypływała również z jej sakralnego charakteru (stąd „święty” lub „honorowy obowiązek”). Celem wróżdy było zatem takżeprzebłaganie bóstw poprzez złożenie ofi ary z przestępcy. Ubocznym efektem wróżdy były krwawe i wyniszczające wojny wewnętrzne, stąd z czasem wraz ze wzmocnieniem władzy zwierzchniej starano się ją wyrugować, a przynajmniej zastąpić zapłatą prywatnej kary, tzw.opłatą kompozycyjną, czyli główszczyzną (w świecie germańskim zwaną wergeldem).

Published: October 2018

A disponibilidade de inúmeras fontes de gás natural torna viável a utilização de diferentes processos de produção de hidrogênio, insumo este empregado na obtenção dos mais diversos produtos (e.g., fertilizantes, combustíveis, lubrificantes, polímeros, etc). Dentre estes processos, os reatores de reforma são os mais utilizados industrialmente para produção de hidrogênio. Pretendendo maximizar a produtividade e a eficiência energética, as técnicas de fluidodinâmica computacionais são amplamente utilizadas para avaliar o desempenho dos processos sem o custo de implementação do projeto real. O presente trabalho objetivou simular, aplicando o software ANSYS- CFX, o processo de produção de hidrogênio a partir da reforma a vapor do metano utilizando um reator com membrana, visando realizar a produção e separação no mesmo equipamento, além de determinar as condições ótimas de operação. As técnicas de otimização Algoritmo Genético e Enxame de Partículas foram aplicadas e comparadas na investigação das condições de otimalidade do processo. As condições ótimas de temperatura operacional e razão molar de alimentação H2O/CH4 encontradas foram 873,15 K e 6, respectivamente, fornecendo 96,38 % de conversão de metano e 64,05 % de recuperação de hidrogênio, corroborando a eficiência das técnicas aplicadas.
The variational 1-capacity and BV functions with zero boundary values on doubling metric spaces
Authors: Lahti Panu 
Published: October 2018

AbstractIn the setting of a metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincaré inequality, we define and study a class ofBV{\mathrm{BV}}functions with zero boundary values. In particular, we show that the class is the closure of compactly supportedBV{\mathrm{BV}}functions in theBV{\mathrm{BV}}norm. Utilizing this theory, we then study the variational 1-capacity and its Lipschitz andBV{\mathrm{BV}}analogs. We show that each of these is an outer capacity, and that the different capacities are equal for certain sets.
Labour Consumption of Production of Selected Fruit

Published: October 2018

AbstractThe objective of the paper was to analyse the expenditures of labour in production of three selected fruit types (apples, black currant and gooseberry) including, inter alia, in relation to the surface area of a plantation. The total inputs of labour were calculated with a division into manual and mechanized works. Moreover, a detailed structure of manual and mechanized works was presented. It was stated, inter alia, that labour consumption of apple production is approximately four times higher in comparison to black currant and gooseberry. No impact of the plantation size on the total work inputs on fruit production was reported.
Wicking Behaviors of Ring and Compact-Siro Ring Spun Yarns with Different Twists
Authors: Lu Yuzheng , Wang Yang , Gao Weidong 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
In this study, the wicking properties of ring and compact-siro ring spun staple yarns were compared. The twist level, which is related to the structure of the staple yarns, was found to significantly influence the wicking property of the two kinds of yarn. Polyester staple fibers with 1.33 dtex × 38 mm were selected as the staple fiber material, and the effect of the twist level on the wicking property was investigated using the capillary rise method. The results show that with a decreasing twist coefficient, the wicking height increases with a decrease in yarn compactness. The compact-siro spun yarn showed better wicking properties owing to it special ply yarn structure. Furthermore, the tension property of the yarns decreased significantly with a decrease in the twist coefficient. Compact-siro spinning was carried out to obtain staple yarns with lower twist coefficients, and the yarns showed great improvement in terms of yarn strength, fiber straightness, and wicking properties. Thus, compact-siro spinning is an efficient method to improve the wicking properties of staple yarns.
Plant diversity and dynamics in chalk quarries on the islands of Rügen and Wolin (Western Pomerania/Germany and Poland)
Authors: König Peter 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Chalk mining industry in Western Pomerania reflects a history of almost 300 years, and has left behind a typical post-mining landscape. Thus, more than 50 formerly exploited areas are known on the islands of Rügen and Wolin. Historical quarry sizes range from 0.1 to 42 hectares, the median is 1.3. Chalk quarries are recolonised by a wide range of species and develop attractive and species-rich communities. To the extent that recolonisation progresses, they act as refugia for rare or local species. Currently, a total of 543 vascular plant species are found in these chalk quarries. Species number ranges from 97 to 218 in thoroughly studied sites, with a median of 138. Of the total floristic inventory, 67% are indigenous species, 18% are archaeophytes and 12% neophytes. Quarries abandoned long ago and remotely situated are home to nearly 90% indigenophytes, whereas those quarries close to settlements or with easy access are tendentially characterised by numerous synanthropic plants. 100 species overall (= 18.4%) belong to Red List categories of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In 22 quarries studied in more detail, Red List percentages show a spectrum from 3.7 to 23.5%, and higher values are found in sites with open habitats and considerable biotope diversity. Among vegetation types, the anthropo-zoogenic heathland and grassland harbours 40% Red List species and occupies the first place concerning nature conservation aspects. A noteworthy percentage of endangered plants is found in fresh-water and bog vegetation, as some quarries are in contact with the aquifer. Succession was and is the impetus for vegetation development. A transect exemplarily demonstrates the vegetation zonation within a chalk quarry and distinguishes headslope, backslope, and footslope and the quarry floor. The respective plant communities are classified into Cornus sanguinea bush stage, Picris hieracioides-Daucus carota community, and basiphilous mesoxerophytic grassland.

. This gives an analogue for K3 surfaces of Deligne’s description of the category of ordinary abelian varieties over a finite field, and refines earlier work by N.O. Nygaard and J.-D. Yu.
Our main result is conditional on a conjecture on potential semi-stable reduction of K3 surfaces over p-adic fields. We give unconditional versions for K3 surfaces of large Picard rank and for K3 surfaces of small degree.
When are Purely Predictive Models Best?
Authors: Northcott Robert 
Published: October 2018

AbstractCan purely predictive models be useful in investigating causal systems? I argue “yes”. Moreover, in many cases not only are they useful, they are essential. The alternative is to stick to models or mechanisms drawn from well-understood theory. But a necessary condition for explanation is empirical success, and in many cases in social and field sciences such success can only be achieved by purely predictive models, not by ones drawn from theory. Alas, the attempt to use theory to achieve explanation or insight without empirical success therefore fails, leaving us with the worst of both worlds—neither prediction nor explanation. Best go with empirical success by any means necessary. I support these methodological claims via case studies of two impressive feats of predictive modelling: opinion polling of political elections, and weather forecasting.
The North seen from the South in the Spanish reception of Selma Lagerlöf
Authors: Bergenmar Jenny 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
When Selma Lagerlöf became a Nobel laureate in 1909, her works were translated into new languages and introduced to countries, including Spain, where she had previously been unknown. This article traces the image of Sweden and Scandinavia reflected in Selma Lagerlöf’s reception in Spanish newspapers and periodicals around 1910. The idea of a distinctive Nordic or Scandinavian identity is discernible in the critics’ characterizations of Lagerlöf’s works; however, there is tension between their presentations of Lagerlöf as a representative of the region of Scandinavia or the North in general versus just one nation (Sweden) or province (Värmland). Building on research in imagology and literary transfer, this article investigates how and which regional, national, and provincial identities, geographies, and stereotypes of North and South were activated in support of a particular idea of the author.
Stripping H.C. Andersen. Peter Madsen’s Historien om en mor (or, what a graphic novel adaptation can do that its literary source cannot)
Authors: Storskog Camilla 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
This article addresses the transposition of H.C. Andersen’s literary production to comics and graphic novels; a vast, though little explored, field of research. It furnishes a brief overview of the work done by comic art creators in approaching the adaptation of Andersen, and proceeds to analyse Historien om en mor, Peter Madsen’s 2004 graphic novel adaptation of Andersen’s Historien om en Moder from 1848. As Madsen’s version is predominantly visual, employing images and sequences rather than words in the re-telling of the fairy tale, the investigation is presented as a semiotic analysis drawing on the tools provided by Thierry Groensteen’s The System of Comics (2007; ed. orig. Système de la bande dessinée, 1999). Categories scrutinised as meaning makers include gridding, braiding, page layout, and the handling of the dimension of time, with the ultimate aim of describing how the media affordances of comics, in the hands of a true craftsman, add depth and complexity to the re-narration of Andersen’s original.
An Imported Attic Kylix from the Sanctuary at Poggio Colla
Authors: Steiner Ann , Neils Jenifer 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
This study focuses on an Attic red-figure kylix excavated in a North Etruscan ritual context at a major sanctuary site in the Mugello region at Poggio Colla. Attributed to the Painter of the Paris Gigantomachy (490–460 B. C. E.), the kylix depicts youths boxing. Careful excavation of the site over 20 years allows detailed presentation here of the votive context for the kylix and thus supports a plausible hypothesis for how it was integrated into rituals marking the transition from the first monumental stone temple to its successor at the site, sometime in the late fifth-early fourth century. Placing the kylix in the oeuvre of the painter, his workshop output, and its appearance in Etruria demonstrates that the shape and subject matter were well known to Etruscan audiences; discussion of the relationship of the Attic boxers to imagery in Etruscan tomb painting, black-figure silhouette style pottery, and funerary reliefs reveals links to and differences from Etruscan renderings of similar subject matter. Conclusions confirm the role of the Attic kylix in Etruscan ritual and establish the familiarity of the iconography of the kylix to Etruscan audiences. Although one of the tinas cliniiar, Etruscan Pultuce and Greek Pollux, is identified in fourth-century Etruscan art as an outstanding boxer, this study reveals no obvious link between the imagery on the kylix and the major deity honored at the site, very likely the goddess Uni.

The cultures of grief: The practice of post-mortem photography and iconic internalized voices
Authors: Tateo Luca 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
I develop an exploratory analysis of “post-mortem photography”, a social practice existing in different cultures. The study, part of a larger project in Denmark, “The culture of grief”, combines Dialogical Self Theory, mainly concerning verbal and textual objects, with the iconic framework of affective semiosis to discuss the function of taking and keeping pictures of dead persons as if they were still alive or just sleeping. How can this practice and artifact culturally mediate the experience of death and the elaboration of grief? What kind of inner dialogue is developed through the internalization of this specific kind of presence/absence? These are some of the preliminary questions I will try to answer by discussing some examples of post-mortem photography from the 19th and 20th centuries in different countries.
Trilateration approaches for seamless out-/indoor GNSS and Wi-Fi smartphone positioning
Authors: Retscher Guenther , Kleine Jonathan , Whitemore Lisa 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
More and more sensors and receivers are found nowadays in smartphones which can enable and improve positioning for Location-based Services and other navigation applications. Apart from inertial sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscope and magnetometer, receivers for Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and GNSS signals can be employed for positioning of a mobile user. In this study, three trilateration methods for Wi-Fi positioning are investigated whereby the influence of the derivation of the relationship between the received signal strength (RSS) and the range to an Access Points (AP) are analyzed. The first approach is a straightforward resection for point determination and the second is based on the calculation of the center of gravity in a triangle of APs while weighting the received RSS. In the third method a differential approach is employed where as in Differential GNSS (DGNSS) corrections are derived and applied to the raw RSS measurements. In this Differential Wi-Fi (DWi-Fi) method, reference stations realized by low-cost Raspberry Pi units are used to model temporal RSS variations. In the experiments in this study two different indoor environments are used, one in a laboratory and the second in the entrance of an office building. The results of the second and third approach show position deviations from the ground truth of around 2 m in dependence of the geometrical point location. Furthermore, the transition between GNSS positioning outdoors and Wi-Fi localization indoors in the entrance area of the building is studied.
Contribution of satellite altimetry in modelling Moho density contrast in oceanic areas
Authors: Abrehdary M. , Sjöberg L. E. , Sampietro D. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The determination of the oceanic Moho (or crust-mantle) density contrast derived from seismic acquisitions suffers from severe lack of data in large parts of the oceans, where have not yet been sufficiently covered by such data. In order to overcome this limitation, gravitational field models obtained by means of satellite altimetry missions can be proficiently exploited, as they provide global uniform information with a sufficient accuracy and resolution for such a task. In this article, we estimate a new Moho density contrast model named MDC2018, using the marine gravity field from satellite altimetry in combination with a seismic-based crustal model and Earth’s topographic/bathymetric data. The solution is based on the theory leading to Vening Meinesz-Moritz’s isostatic model. The study results in a high-accuracy Moho density contrast model with a resolution of 1° × 1° in oceanic areas. The numerical investigations show that the estimated density contrast ranges from 14.2 to 599.7 kg/m3 with a global average of 293 kg/m3. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the MDC2018 model, the result was compared with some published global models, revealing that our altimetric model is able to image rather reliable information in most of the oceanic areas. However, the differences between this model and the published results are most notable along the coastal and polar zones, which are most likely due to that the quality and coverage of the satellite altimetry data are worsened in these regions.
FCNB: Fuzzy Correlative Naive Bayes Classifier with MapReduce Framework for Big Data Classification
Authors: Banchhor Chitrakant , Srinivasu N. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The term “big data” means a large amount of data, and big data management refers to the efficient handling, organization, or use of large volumes of structured and unstructured data belonging to an organization. Due to the gradual availability of plenty of raw data, the knowledge extraction process from big data is a very difficult task for most of the classical data mining and machine learning tools. In a previous paper, the correlative naive Bayes (CNB) classifier was developed for big data classification. This work incorporates the fuzzy theory along with the CNB classifier to develop the fuzzy CNB (FCNB) classifier. The proposed FCNB classifier solves the big data classification problem by using the MapReduce framework and thus achieves improved classification results. Initially, the database is converted to the probabilistic index table, in which data and attributes are presented in rows and columns, respectively. Then, the membership degree of the unique symbols present in each attribute of data is found. Finally, the proposed FCNB classifier finds the class of data based on training information. The simulation of the proposed FCNB classifier uses the localization and skin segmentation datasets for the purpose of experimentation. The results of the proposed FCNB classifier are analyzed based on the metrics, such as sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, and compared with the various existing works.
Adolescents with premenstrual syndrome: not only what you eat but also how you eat matters!

Published: October 2018

AbstractBackgroundCurrent literature suggests that diet is involved in either the development of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or contributes to symptom severity, but to date, there are no studies evaluating eating attitudes of adolescents with PMS. The aim of this study was to evaluate dietary intake and eating attitudes in adolescents with PMS.MethodsThis study was conducted with 383 adolescents (214 with and 169 without PMS), aged 13–19 years. PMS was diagnosed using the premenstrual syndrome scale (PMSS). The Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and 24-h dietary recall were used to assess dietary intake. The Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) and Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-Revised 18 (TFEQ-R18) were used to evaluate eating attitudes. Anthropometrical measurements and bone mineral content were measured.ResultsPMS prevalence was 55.9% according to PMSS subscales. Disordered eating attitudes determined by EAT-26 was detected in 23.8% in the PMS group and 11.8% of the control group (p<0.05). In the PMS group, total TFEQ-R18 score, emotional eating behavior and uncontrolled eating behavior scores were significantly higher (p<0.001). Whereas no significant difference in dietary intake, anthropometrical measurements or bone mineral content was observed between the two groups.ConclusionsThis is the first study documenting that not dietary intake but eating attitudes can be associated with PMS in adolescents. It is important to understand the relationship between disordered eating behaviors and PMS as both conditions may trigger the other.
