Diagnostics, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of vertebral syndromes caused by traumatic elements
Authors: Kolisnyk P F , Kolisnyk S P 
Published: November 2018

Vertebral pain occurs due to many reasons, thus complicates diagnostics, treatment, rehabilitation. The spectrum of pathomorphological changes in vertebral segments that can lead to lesions of the segmental nervous and vascular structures should be considered. We propose to define and classify these pathoanatomical changes. Traumatic elements are pathomorphological changes in vertebral segments, due to an injury or vertebral diseases and may cause irritation, partial or total compression of segmental nervous and/or vascular structures due to their size and direction.
We also suggested algorithm for the diagnostics, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of pain and other disorders in the spine. Diagnostic algorithm mentioned in the article allows to choose the right methods of treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. We can conclude that pathoanatomical changes directed towards the segmental nervous and vascular structures may act as traumatic elements. Severity of clinical manifestation of spine pathology more depends on the severity of traumatization of segmental nervous or vascular structures. It’s impossible to differentiate traumatic elements as irritating or compressing ones by changes on X-ray and MRI.

Saint-Malo et le Canada au xvie siècle : la puissance et l’oubli
Authors: Guillorel Éva 
Published: November 2018

Saint-Malo entretient une relation complexe avec le
Canada au cours du long xvie siècle. La figure de Jacques Cartier, aujourd’hui
immédiatement associée à l’exploration et à la colonisation de
l’Amérique française, n’est aucunement emblématique des choix
privilégiés par cette ville. En effet, les marchands concentrent leurs
activités sur la pêche saisonnière ou la traite de fourrures mais
s’opposent aux projets de colonisation permanente sur le continent,
bien que plusieurs Malouins aient joué un rôle déterminant dans
l’établissement des premiers colons français en Amérique. Dans les
mémoires collectives, Jacques Cartier lui-même fut longtemps oublié :
ce n’est qu’à partir du xixe siècle qu’il fait l’objet d’une réappropriation
historique et patrimoniale en tant que « découvreur du Canada », même
si son image est partiellement éclipsée par celle d’autres « grands
hommes » malouins associés à la représentation d’une cité corsaire au
cœur de la construction identitaire malouine actuelle.
A cross-sectional study of depression among women attending antenatal clinics in Blantyre district, Malawi
Authors: Chorwe-Sungani Genesis , Chipps Jennifer 
Published: November 2018

Background: Pregnancy is a period associated with major psychological and social changes in the life of a woman and can be associated with anxiety and depression.Aim: To describe demographic, clinical and risk profile of antenatal depression among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Blantyre district, Malawi.Setting: The study was conducted in eight antenatal clinics in Blantyre district, Malawi.Methods: A cross-sectional study of 480 randomly selected pregnant women attending antenatal clinics was conducted. Prevalence was determined using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) which was validated against a sub-sample using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. The risk factors of depression were assessed using the Pregnancy Risk Questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson chi-square test and binary logistic regression.Results: Prevalence of antenatal depression using the EPDS was 19% (95% CI 15.5% – 22.5%, n = 91) and was comparable to the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (25.8% [95% CI = 17.5–34], n = 25). The key risk factors that predicted antenatal depression were: ‘being distressed by anxiety or depression for more than 2 weeks during this pregnancy’ (OR = 4.1 [2.1–7.9], p≤ 0.001); ‘feeling that a relationship with partner is not an emotionally supportive one’ (OR = 3.5 [1.4–8.4], p = 0.01); ‘having major stresses, changes or losses in the course of this pregnancy’ (OR = 3.2 [1.7–6.2], p = 0.01); ‘feeling that father was critical of her when growing up’ (OR = 3.2 [1.4–7.6], p = 0.01); and ‘having history of feeling miserable or depressed for ≥2 weeks before this pregnancy’ (OR = 2.4 [1.3–4.4], p = 0.01).Conclusion: This study confirmed the high-prevalence rate of depression in this group and illustrated that antenatal depression was associated with being distressed by anxiety or depression; support from partner; major stresses during pregnancy; and history of feeling miserable or depressed before pregnancy. This study also found a history of poor relationship between pregnant women and their fathers during childhood.
Impacts of a large flood along a mountain river basin: the importance of channel widening and estimating the large wood budget in the upper Emme River (Switzerland)

Published: November 2018

Abstract. On 24 July 2014, an exceptionally large flood (recurrence interval ca.
150 years) caused large-scale inundations, severe overbank sedimentation, and
damage to infrastructure and buildings along the Emme River (central
Switzerland). Widespread lateral bank erosion occurred along the river,
thereby entraining sediment and large wood (LW) from alluvial forest stands.
This work analyzes the catchment response to the flood in terms of channel
widening and LW recruitment and deposition, but also identifies the factors
controlling these processes. We found that hydraulic forces (e.g., stream
power index) or geomorphic variables (e.g., channel width, gradient, valley
confinement), if considered alone, are not sufficient to explain the flood
response. Instead, the spatial variability of channel widening was first driven
by precipitation and secondly by geomorphic variables (e.g., channel width,
gradient, confinement, and forest length). LW recruitment was mainly caused by
channel widening (lateral bank erosion) and thus indirectly driven by
precipitation. In contrast, LW deposition was controlled by channel
morphology (mainly channel gradient and width). However, we also observed
that extending the analysis to the whole upper catchment of the Emme River by
including all the tributaries and not only to the most affected zones
resulted in a different set of significant explanatory or correlated
variables. Our findings highlight the need to continue documenting and
analyzing channel widening after floods at different locations and scales for
a better process understanding. The identification of controlling factors can
also contribute to the identification of critical reaches, which in turn is
crucial for the forecasting and design of sound river basin management
strategies.
What Is the Use of the Colonial Model (or, Better Yet, the Concept of Coloniality) for Studying Appalachia?
Authors: Stump Jacob L. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This article engages a recent Journal of Appalachian Studies roundtable (Volume 22, Number 1), organized by Steve Fisher and Barbara Ellen Smith, that critiqued the colonial model. My basic argument is that the colonial model has critical value because it offers a well-established orientation, framework, and line of argument to counter the culture of poverty thesis, which was recently re-popularized in J. D. Vance’s memoir Hillbilly Elegy. My argument centers on three main points. First, I concur that the internal colony model warrants scholarly and activist reconsideration. But, in contrast to the majority of the forum voices, I argue that the idea of coloniality is imminently relevant to understanding and acting in the global political economy in which Appalachia is situated. Second, I locate Appalachia in the global political economy. The important and often overlooked point that I make is the global political economy, its historical emergence, and present-day practice are already implicated in Anglo-European colonial relationships. Third, I reconsider the way that colonialism is conceptualized, moving away from colonialism as attributes and toward colonialism as relationships between colonizer and colonized.
The Feasibility of Septic Systems for Households in Poverty in Lee County, Virginia
Authors: Verrecchia Jackie 
Published: November 2018

AbstractMany households in Lee County, Virginia, sit on plots of land that are too small for septic systems, where the soil is inadequate, or where the household simply cannot afford a septic system. Households in Lee County that are unable to afford the installation of conventional or alternative septic systems resort to straight-piping raw sewage into local waterways or distant locations in their yards. The implications of straight-piping are significant stressors to human health and the environment. In order to install legal septic systems, households must go through an array of bureaucratic and expensive steps that households in poverty cannot afford. This paper will analyze and critique the legal methods of installing septic systems and determine if households living in poverty can realistically implement septic systems. This case study of Lee County will bring to light the geographic, financial, and legal issues associated with sewage treatment in rural America for households in poverty.
Multifunctional Coatings and Nanotopographies: Toward Cell Instructive and Antibacterial Implants
Authors: Mas‐Moruno Carlos , Su Bo , Dalby Matthew J. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn biomaterials science, it is nowadays well accepted that improving the biointegration of dental and orthopedic implants with surrounding tissues is a major goal. However, implant surfaces that support osteointegration may also favor colonization of bacterial cells. Infection of biomaterials and subsequent biofilm formation can have devastating effects and reduce patient quality of life, representing an emerging concern in healthcare. Conversely, efforts toward inhibiting bacterial colonization may impair biomaterial–tissue integration. Therefore, to improve the long‐term success of medical implants, biomaterial surfaces should ideally discourage the attachment of bacteria without affecting eukaryotic cell functions. However, most current strategies seldom investigate a combined goal. This work reviews recent strategies of surface modification to simultaneously address implant biointegration while mitigating bacterial infections. To this end, two emerging solutions are considered, multifunctional chemical coatings and nanotopographical features.
Ultra‐Lightweight and Flexible Current Collector Based on Freestanding Carbon Nanotube Sheets for Lithium‐Ion Capacitors

Published: November 2018

AbstractA new and simple strategy for the fabrication of an ultra‐lightweight and flexible current collector based on freestanding carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets for lithium‐ion capacitors (LICs) with excellent electrochemical performance is reported. A novel lightweight current collector is fabricated using CNT sheets (≈0.05 mg cm−2) which are prepared by a direct spinning method. LICs are assembled using prelithiated graphite/CNT sheets as anodes, and activated carbon/CNT sheets as cathodes. The electrochemical performances of anode and cathode are investigated through coin‐type half‐cell tests, demonstrating the high discharge capacities of about 350 and 40 mAh g−1, respectively. These discharge capacities based on the total mass of electrode exhibit about 73% and 75% of capacities based on the mass of active materials. However, in the case of fabricating metallic current collector electrode, discharge capacities are reduced to about 6.5% and 20%, respectively. LICs demonstrate the maximum energy density of ≈26.4 Wh kg−1 and the maximum power density of ≈672 W kg−1, showing comparable energy and power densities when values are evaluated on the basis of the total mass of electrode. These features make the collector a potential candidate for the energy storage systems, which require large‐scale and lightweight power sources.

Published: November 2018

AbstractInspired by the antifouling properties of soft coral surface, the antifouling film of graphene‐silicone elastomers (GSE) composite materials are prepared and modified with a tentacle structure (TS‐GSE). This antifouling coating has an adjusted elastic modulus, originally low surface energy, and strong electronegativity, and all these physical properties are a benefit to antifouling. The nonbactericidal film of TS‐GSE can expel bacteria through physical interaction, and it is more effective than bactericidal coatings. Moreover, the elasticity deformation of SE is modeled by the standard k‐ε turbulence model. Results indicate this elastic material has a harmonic motion effect through deformation under the fluid flow, and the response frequency is about 10 Hz. The harmonic motion effect makes the elastic surface unstable and provide a foul release basis. Bacteria attachment is tested under both static conditions and dynamic conditions, and results show that the antiadhesion coating of TS‐GSE showed strong antiadhesion activity against both Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacteria. This work should not only enhance understanding of elastomers‐based antifouling materials but also facilitate the design and construction of other types of nontoxic foul‐release materials.

Published: November 2018

AbstractControl of resistive switching voltage in nonvolatile memory devices plays a critical role in building commercial ultra‐low power data storage technology. Here, an effective strategy to control the resistive switching voltage in polymer memory devices by interfacial engineering is presented. By creating a wrinkled surface in reduced graphene oxide (rGO) film as the conductive electrode, an electrical bistable phenomenon is observed in polymer diode with this rGO electrode, with the feature of a write‐once‐read‐many‐times nonvolatile memory effect. By further employing silver nanoparticles and controlling their density at the wrinkled rGO electrode/polymer interface, the optimized device exhibits a high performance nonvolatile memory effect with an ultra‐low switching voltage of 0.9 V, high ON/OFF ratio of 1000, and desirable long retention time over 104 s. To the best knowledge, the value of switching voltage is much lower than that of previous related polymer memory devices. This study paves a new way toward ultra‐low power manufacturing of nonvolatile polymer memory devices.
The decline of U.S. export competitiveness in the Chinese meat import market
Authors: Hejazi Mina , Marchant Mary A. , Zhu Jue , Ning Xin 
Published: November 2018

AbstractChina has been the number one destination for U.S. agricultural exports in four of the past six years, and the U.S. has been China's leading import supplier. China's trade policies significantly impact U.S. farmers and agribusinesses and vice‐versa as seen from the recent U.S.–China trade dispute. In 2015, China began initiating a trade diversification strategy to increase trade with nations other than the United States. This research investigates the impacts of China's expanding global meat suppliers on its meat import demand, as well as on the relative competitiveness of U.S. meat exporters to China. Our meat import demand model is unique, in which it uses a restricted source‐differentiated almost ideal demand system that accounts for differentiation by source country and across meat products. Although the U.S. was the dominant source for China's meat imports previously, price and expenditure elasticities suggest that suppliers such as Australia, Brazil, the EU, Uruguay, and Argentina have the largest potential for China's meat market.

Published: November 2018

AbstractDispersions of block copolymer fibres in water have many potential applications and can be obtained by polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA), but only under very restricted experimental conditions. In order to enlarge this experimental window, we introduced a supramolecular moiety, a hydrogen‐bonded bis‐urea sticker, in the macromolecular reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent to drive the morphology of the nano‐objects produced by RAFT‐mediated PISA towards the fibre morphology. This novel concept is tested in the synthesis of a series of poly(N,N‐dimethylacrylamide)‐b‐poly(2‐methoxyethyl acrylate) (PDMAc‐b‐PMEA) diblock copolymers prepared by dispersion polymerization in water. The results prove that the introduction of the templating bis‐urea stickers into PISA greatly promotes the formation of fibres in a large experimental window.

AbstractSupported ionic liquid phase (SILP) catalysis enables a highly efficient, Ru‐based, homogeneously catalyzed water‐gas shift reaction (WGSR) between 100 °C and 150 °C. The active Ru‐complexes have been found to exist in imidazolium chloride melts under operating conditions in a dynamic equilibrium, which is dominated by the [Ru(CO)3Cl3]− complex. Herein we present state‐of‐the‐art theoretical calculations to elucidate the reaction mechanism in more detail. We show that the mechanism includes the intermediate formation and degradation of hydrogen chloride, which effectively reduces the high barrier for the formation of the requisite dihydrogen complex. The hypothesis that the rate‐limiting step involves water is supported by using D2O in continuous catalytic WGSR experiments. The resulting mechanism constitutes a highly competitive alternative to earlier reported generic routes involving nucleophilic addition of hydroxide in the gas phase and in solution.
Synergistic flame retardant interplay of phosphorus containing flame retardants with aluminum trihydrate depending on the specific surface area in unsaturated polyester resin
Authors: Reuter Jens , Greiner Lara , Schönberger Frank , Döring Manfred 
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACTThe influence of the specific surface area of aluminum trihydrate (ATH) on the synergism to different phosphorus‐based flame retardants (FRs) in unsaturated polyester (UP) resin was investigated. Flammability and thermal stability of UP composites were evaluated with UL‐94 vertical burning, thermogravimetric analysis, and cone calorimetry. The morphology of char residues was examined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). An interaction between crystalline ATH (4.5 m2 g−1) and aluminum hypophosphite (AHP) or zinc diethylphosphinate (DEPZn) was observed. When 37 wt % ATH and 8 wt % AHP or DEPZn were incorporated, samples passed V‐0 in UL‐94 tests. Furthermore, peak of heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) were reduced by introduction of phosphorus containing FRs compared to a formulation containing solely crystalline ATH. The incorporation of amorphous ATH (300 m2 g−1) leaded to lower UL‐94 ratings, using the same amount of AHP or DEPZn. In comparison to crystalline ATH, an addition of phosphorus containing FRs did not lead to a decrease of PHRR and THR for amorphous ATH. SEM of the residues showed that the combination of crystalline ATH with phosphorus species having hydrogen/carbon rich environment formed a dense and tough layer. The combination of crystalline ATH with phosphorus species providing oxygen rich environment gives fragile residues. An incorporation of amorphous ATH leaded to a fragile residue as well. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019, 136, 47270.

AbstractA deep understanding on the luminescence property of aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) featured metal nanoclusters (NCs) is highly desired. This paper reports a systematic study on enhancing the luminescence of AIE‐featured Au NCs, which is achieved by Ag doping to engineer the size/structure and aggregation states of the AuI‐thiolate motifs in the NC shell. Moreover, by prolonging the reaction time, the luminescence of the as‐synthesized AuAg NCs could be further tailored from orange to red, which is also due to the variation of the AuI‐thiolate motifs of NCs. This study can facilitate a better understanding of this AIE‐featured luminescent probe and the design of other synthetic routes for this rising family of functional materials.
