Semi-professionals: emergency response as an additional task in current occupations
Authors: Yousefi Mojir Kayvan , Pilemalm Sofie , Andersson Granberg Tobias 
Published: June 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to identify occupational groups who can act as semi-professional first responders, in order to shorten the response times to frequent emergencies, and second, to identify related opportunities, challenges and needs of training, emergency supplies and information technology (IT) support.Design/methodology/approachA case study approach was taken, combining future workshops, focus groups and an exercise. Network governance was used as an analytical lens.FindingsThe identified potential groups are security guards, home care personnel, fire services day personnel and facility service personnel. The results show that semi-professionals have a large potential to complement professional resources by carrying out first response or supportive actions vital to the emergency, partly by using already existing cars and equipment. The identified needs include additional basic equipment such as fire extinguishers and first-aid kits, training in basic firefighting, first aid and risk assessment, as well as mobile phone application-based IT support to manage alarms. The major challenges are organisational, economic and juridical, including ambiguities in responsibilities and related insurances. The analysis recognises the new collaboration as a hybrid form of hierarchical government and network governance.Social implicationsThe study suggests that using semi-professional resources can be one of many innovative solutions to recent public sector challenges that have put a huge strain on professional emergency response organisations.Originality/valueThe study provides a novel view of using semi-professional resources in emergency response, based on the joint perspectives of various occupational groups, and the fire services.
The anxiety of romantic love in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Authors: Tran Allen L. 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThis article examines the role of anxieties about romantic love in the modernist self‐making projects of Vietnam's growing middle class. Romantic ideals and discourses that emerged from Vietnam's neoliberal reforms emphasize personal compatibility through emotional intimacy and communication. Middle‐class residents of Ho Chi Minh City increasingly privilege the emotions in daily life and define themselves and their relationships in an affective register. This cultivation of emotional self‐reflexivity has, however, become a source of anxiety about the self. An analysis of two case studies traces how individuals draw on their class, gender, and age to negotiate conflicts between various models of love and selfhood and reinvent romantic discourses to claim their own versions of a modern identity. A critical component of both the experience of romantic love and the construction of middle‐class Vietnamese selfhood, love anxiety stems not just from people's changed relations to others but also from a changed perception of the self, which has been rendered unrecognizable to them.

Published: June 2018

AbstractThis retrospective study included 1051 patients with end‐stage kidney disease and Brescia‐Cimino arteriovenous fistula (AVF) (excluding pre‐dialysis patients), and aimed to investigate the role of blood pressure in AVF primary failure. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured twice daily for 3 days before surgery. The success (N = 1010) and failure (N = 41) groups were based on AVF primary failure within 7 days of surgery. The cephalic vein was larger and the preoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP) was higher in the success group compared with the failure group (P < 0.05). Cephalic vein diameter and preoperative MAP independently predicted AVF primary failure within 7 days after surgery. In conclusion, small cephalic vein diameter and low preoperative MAP were associated with AVF primary failure within 7 days of surgery.

AbstractObjectivesThe goal of this study was to assess the reliability of HEARTSMAP as a standardized tool for evaluating the quality of psychosocial assessment documentation of pediatric mental health (MH) presentations to the emergency department (ED). In addition, we report on current documentation practices.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cross‐sectional study of pediatric (up to age 17) MH‐related visits to four EDs between April 1, 2013, and March 31, 2014. The primary outcome was the inter‐rater agreement when evaluating the completeness of pediatric emergency psychosocial assessments using the HEARTSMAP tool. The secondary outcome was to describe the adequacy of documentation of emergency pediatric MH assessments, using HEARTSMAP as a guide for a complete assessment.ResultsA total of 400 medical records (100 from each site) were reviewed. We observed near‐perfect inter‐rater agreement (κ = 0.99–1.00) regarding the presence of documentation and good‐to‐perfect agreement (κ = 0.71–1.00) regarding whether sufficient information was documented to score a severity level for every component of an emergency psychosocial assessment. Inter‐rater agreement regarding whether referrals or resources were documented for identified needs was observed to be good to very good (κ = 0.62–0.98). Current psychosocial documentation practices were found to be inconsistent with significant variability in the presence of documentation pertaining to HEARTSMAP sections between medical centers and initial clinician assessor and whether specialized MH services were involved prior to discharge.ConclusionsThe HEARTSMAP tool can be reliably used to assess pediatric psychosocial assessment documentation across a diverse range of EDs. Current documentation practices are variable and often inadequate, and the HEARTSMAP tool can aid in quality improvement initiatives to standardize and optimize care for the growing burden of pediatric mental illness.
Recent range contractions in the globally threatened Pyrenean desman highlight the importance of stream headwater refugia

Published: June 2018

AbstractFreshwater ecosystems are among the most threatened in the world, and downstream reaches of stream networks are often the most affected by multiple anthropogenic stressors. In these circumstances, many species currently restricted to stream headwaters may represent remnants of once larger populations, though this is generally difficult to ascertain due to limited historical data. Here, we document a case of range contraction into headwaters of the globally threatened Pyrenean desman Galemys pyrenaicus, a species endemic to South‐western Europe, from surveys carried out in 1993–96 and 2014–15. Geostatistical logistic mixed models were used to relate the probabilities of desman occurrence and extinction to environmental variables in 74 sites within two watersheds in NE Portugal, while controlling for linear (Euclidean) and hydrologic spatial dependencies. In 1993–96, desmans were recorded at 85.1% of sites, and their presence was positively related to stream order and slope. In 2014–15, desmans were only found at 31.1% of sites, and their presence was positively related to slope steepness and negatively to stream order and maximum temperature of the warmest month. The extinction rate across periods was 63.5%, and the probability of extinction increased with stream order and declined with slope steepness. Maps of predicted distribution and extinction indicated that while the species was widely distributed in the first period, it largely disappeared thereafter from the main rivers and the largest tributaries, persisting mostly in stream headwaters in more mountainous areas. The severe decline found in ours and other studies suggests that the conservation status of the Pyrenean desman may need to be upgraded, and highlights the importance of headwater streams for its conservation. Furthermore, this study supports the view that headwater streams may be increasingly important for biodiversity conservation in modified river systems, favouring the permanence of remnant, albeit fragmented populations.

ProblemCrry is a widely expressed type 1 transmembrane complement regulatory protein in rodents which protects self‐tissue by downregulating C3 activation. Crry−/− concepti produced by Crry+/− × Crry+/− matings are attacked by maternal complement system leading to loss before day 10. The membrane attack complex is not the mediator of this death. We hypothesized that the ability of C3b to engage the alternative pathway's feedback loop relatively unchecked on placental membranes induces the lesion yielding the demise of the Crry−/− mouse.Method of StudyWe investigated the basis of Crry−/− conceptus demise by depleting maternal complement with cobra venom factor and blocking antibodies. We monitored their effects primarily by genotyping and histologic analyses.ResultsWe narrowed the critical period of the complement effect from 6.5 to 8.5 days post‐coitus (dpc), which is immediately after the conceptus is exposed to maternal blood. Deposition by 5.5 dpc of maternal C3b on the placental vasculature lacking Crry−/− yielded loss of the conceptus by 8.5 dpc. Fusion of the allantois to the chorion during placental assembly did not occur, fetal vessels originating in the allantois did not infiltrate the chorioallantoic placenta, the chorionic plate failed to develop, and the labyrinthine component of the placenta did not mature.ConclusionOur data are most consistent with the deposition of C3b being responsible for the failure of the allantois to fuse to the chorion leading to subsequent conceptus demise.

Preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a standard therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer; however, the response varies depending on cases. Therefore, CRT‐response predictors need to be elucidated. Cancer stem cells (CSCs), comprising a small part of tumors, are associated with tumor progression and recurrence due to their self‐renewal and proliferation abilities. Doublecortin‐like kinase 1 (DCLK1) is one of the several putative CSC markers; however, the clinical impact of its expression in rectal cancer has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical impact of DCLK1 expression in rectal cancer. We immunohistochemically evaluated DCLK1 expression in surgical specimens of 106 rectal cancer patients, including those who underwent preoperative CRT. The correlations between DCLK1 expression, and clinicopathological features and patient prognosis were then assessed. In rectal cancer patients treated with preoperative CRT, DCLK1 expression was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (p = 0.02) and poor cancer‐specific survival (p = 0.049). However, in patients treated without preoperative therapy, no such correlation was found. DCLK1 expression can be associated with lymph node metastasis and poor cancer‐specific survival in rectal cancer patients who receive CRT.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine changes in the quality of lamb meat (Longissimus thoracis et lumborum), which was vacuum‐packaged and freezer‐stored (−26°C) for 6 and 12 months. The experiment was performed on 12 male lambs of the Kamieniec Longwool breed, raised to 106 days of age. In comparison with fresh meat, thawed meat was characterized by lower ash content, higher pH, greater natural drip loss and cooking loss, and lower scores for taste intensity. Vacuum packaging and low‐temperature storage protected lamb meat against oxidative changes, and alleviated the adverse effects of oxidation on the color, aroma and taste of meat. It can be concluded that freezer storage (−26°C) of vacuum‐packaged meat can help meet consumer demand for lamb meat products in periods when fresh meat is unavailable. However, it should be noted that long‐term frozen storage induces undesirable changes in meat quality, including a decrease in water‐holding capacity and taste intensity.
A longitudinal examination of social connectedness and suicidal thoughts and behaviors among adolescents
Authors: Gunn John F. , Goldstein Sara E. , Gager Constance T. 
Published: June 2018

BackgroundThis study examines the relationship between three different types of social connectivity and suicidal thoughts and behaviors.MethodsUsing the Add Health dataset, three domains of social connection were explored: parental connection, school connection, and social integration. Logistic regression was used to examine whether changes over time in connectedness predicted suicidal thoughts and behavior.ResultsYouth whose difference scores on social integration and parental connectedness increased were less likely to experience suicidal ideation. Increases in difference scores for perceived school connectedness protected youth who reported ideation from engaging in a suicide attempt.ConclusionsPerceptions of social connection are key factors in understanding adolescent suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It is important to consider social connection across different relationship contexts.
Vocation and encounter: A Scandinavian theological reflection on everyday life as Christians
Authors: Nahnfeldt Cecilia 
Published: June 2018

AbstractMartin Luther turned from understanding vocation as a Christian praxis of leaving the world to understanding it as a praxis within everyday life. In accordance with such an understanding, historically, vocation in the Scandinavian countries was central for organizing society as a whole. This article discusses a contemporary use of vocation where there is a tension between communal and individual aspects in a Scandinavian context characterized by democracy, gender equality, and migration. I then propose a focus on vocation and encounter.
Battle Christologies as a risky act of resistance à la Jesus: A South African perspective
Authors: Urbaniak Jakub 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThis study depicts African “battle Christologies” as a risky act of resistance à la Jesus, that is, concomitant of Jesus’ own life in terms of their modus operandi. Their christic features are discussed in contradistinction to the mainstream Western christological tradition. Only by probing the dynamics of power and difference inherent in the cultural appropriations of Jesus can their specific performative consequences be accurately captured. In light of the study, some methodological considerations are being offered with regard to the way in which prophetic theology should be done in post‐apartheid South Africa and the Global South in general.
Calvary and the church broken for the world
Authors: Saler Robert C. 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThe film Calvary raises a host of issues around how the movie‐going public understands clergy. Perceptions of clergy are often caught between expectations of hypocrisy and accusations of naivety. By subverting any sharp distinctions between that which is “holy” and that which is fully human in the calling of the priest, the movie demonstrates a kind of cinematic Christology that is also instructive for ecclesiological purposes, particularly when put in dialogue with the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer on the same subject.
A biobjective feature selection algorithm for large omics datasets

Published: June 2018

AbstractFeature selection is one of the most important concepts in data mining when dimensionality reduction is needed. The performance measures of feature selection encompass predictive accuracy and result comprehensibility. Consistency‐based methods are a significant category of feature selection research that substantially improves the comprehensibility of the result using the parsimony principle. In this work, the biobjective version of the algorithm logical analysis of inconsistent data is applied to large volumes of data. In order to deal with hundreds of thousands of attributes, heuristic decomposition uses parallel processing to solve a set covering problem and a cross‐validation technique. The biobjective solutions contain the number of reduced features and the accuracy. The algorithm is applied to omics datasets with genome‐like characteristics of patients with rare diseases.

AbstractThe 2.1‐billion‐year‐old (Ga) Francevillian series in Gabon hosts some of the oldest reported macroscopic fossils of various sizes and shapes, stimulating new debates on the origin, evolution and organization of early complex life. Here, we document ten representative types of exceptionally well‐preserved mat‐related structures, comprising “elephant‐skin” textures, putative macro‐tufted microbial mats, domal buildups, flat pyritized structures, discoidal microbial colonies, horizontal mat growth patterns, wrinkle structures, “kinneyia” structures, linear patterns and nodule‐like structures. A combination of petrographic analyses, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and organic elemental analyses of carbon‐rich laminae and microtexture, indicate a biological origin for these structures. The observed microtextures encompass oriented grains, floating silt‐sized quartz grains, concentrated heavy minerals, randomly oriented clays, wavy‐crinkly laminae and pyritized structures. Based on comparisons with modern analogues, as well as an average δ13C organic matter (Corg) composition of −32.94 ± 1.17‰ (1 standard deviation, SD) with an outlier of −41.26‰, we argue that the mat‐related structures contain relicts of multiple carbon pathways including heterotrophic recycling of photosynthetically derived Corg. Moreover, the relatively close association of the macroscopic fossil assemblages to the microbial mats may imply that microbial communities acted as potential benthic O2 oases linked to oxyphototrophic cyanobacterial mats and grazing grounds. In addition, the mat's presence likely improved the preservation of the oldest large colonial organisms, as they are known to strongly biostabilize sediments. Our findings highlight the oldest community assemblage of microscopic and macroscopic biota in the aftermath of the “Great Oxidation Event,” widening our understanding of biological organization during Earth's middle age.

We present the first investigation of in situ oxygen isotopes in serpentine minerals by sensitive high‐resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP). Chemically homogeneous samples of antigorite (δ18O = 8.30 ± 0.12‰), chrysotile (δ18O = 4.37 ± 0.02‰) and lizardite (δ18O = 5.26 ± 0.20‰) analysed by laser fluorination are identified as potential reference materials. They were analysed by SHRIMP to assess their homogeneity compared with the San Carlos olivine, as well as for potential matrix bias and crystal orientation effects. The reproducibility achieved for all samples was ± 0.30–0.55‰ (95% confidence level). Matrix bias between antigorite/olivine and antigorite/lizardite was up to ~ +3‰ and −1‰, respectively. Crystal orientation effects were identified only in chrysotile, and no matrix bias was observed over the investigated compositional range within each serpentine mineral. The new reference materials were used to measure the oxygen isotope composition of serpentines in an ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphic belt from Tianshan (China). By combining oxygen isotopes and trace element microanalyses, several stages of serpentinisation were recognised: (a) seafloor alteration, (b) recycling of internal metamorphic fluids during isothermal decompression and (c) shallow interaction with meteoric water during exhumation. No interaction with fluids derived from the surrounding metapelites during subduction was identified.
Extracellular vesicles and microvascular pathology: Decoding the active dialogue
Authors: Hosseini‐Beheshti Elham , Grau Georges E. R. 
Published: June 2018

AbstractExtracellular vesicles (EV) are a heterogeneous collection of membrane‐surrounded structures released from all studied cells, under both physiological and pathological conditions. These nano‐size vesicles carry complex cargoes including different classes of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids and are known to act as a communication and signalling vesicles in various cellular process. In addition to their role in development and progression of pathological disorders which make them potentially great biomarkers, EV have beneficial effects, as they take part in homeostasis. In this review we have analysed the evidence for the role of microvesicles and exosomes secreted from other cells on microvascular endothelium (EV uptake) as well as the role of endothelial‐derived vesicles on their neighbouring and distant cells (EV release).
