The Brauer–Picard groups of fusion categories coming from the ADE subfactors
Authors: Edie-Michell Cain 
Published: March 2018

We compute the group of Morita auto-equivalences of the even parts of the [Formula: see text] subfactors, and Galois conjugates. To achieve this, we study the braided auto-equivalences of the Drinfeld centers of these categories. We give planar algebra presentations for each of these Drinfeld centers, which we leverage to obtain information about the braided auto-equivalences of the corresponding categories. We also perform the same calculations for the fusion categories constructed from the full [Formula: see text] subfactors. Of particular interest, the even part of the [Formula: see text] subfactor is shown to have Brauer–Picard group [Formula: see text]. We develop combinatorial arguments to compute the underlying algebra objects of these invertible bimodules.

Published: March 2018

The proxemics of social interactions (e.g., body distance, relative orientation) influences many aspects of our everyday life: from patients' reactions to interaction with physicians, successes in job interviews, to effective teamwork. Traditionally, interaction proxemics has been studied via questionnaires and participant observations, imposing high burden on users, low scalability and precision, and often biases.
In this paper we present Protractor, a novel wearable technology for measuring interaction proxemics as part of non-verbal behavior cues with fine granularity. Protractor employs near-infrared light to monitor both the distance and relative body orientation of interacting users. We leverage the characteristics of near-infrared light (i.e., line-of-sight propagation) to accurately and reliably identify interactions; a pair of collocated photodiodes aid the inference of relative interaction angle and distance. We achieve robustness against temporary blockage of the light channel (e.g., by the user's hand or clothes) by designing sensor fusion algorithms that exploit inertial sensors to obviate the absence of light tracking results.
We fabricated Protractor tags and conducted real-world experiments. Results show its accuracy in tracking body distances and relative angles. The framework achieves less than 6° error 95% of the time for measuring relative body orientation and 2.3-cm - 4.9-cm mean error in estimating interaction distance. We deployed Protractor tags to track user's non-verbal behaviors when conducting collaborative group tasks. Results with 64 participants show that distance and angle data from Protractor tags can help assess individual's task role with 84.9% accuracy, and identify task timeline with 93.2% accuracy.

O processo de queda de blocos rochosos é um dos mais destrutivos movimentos de massa em encostas. Considerando a baixa previsibilidade da sua deflagração, tem sido dada atenção à determinação das trajetórias dos blocos como método para redução de riscos. O coeficiente de restituição (ε) é o principal parâmetro físico envolvido na análise do alcance dos blocos, pois representa as perdas de energia após os choques do bloco de rocha com diferentes materiais geológicos em sua trajetória. Trata-se de um parâmetro ainda pouco conhecido na literatura geológica e geotécnica, sobretudo quando se considera a interação dos blocos de rocha com solos em diferentes umidades. Este artigo teve a finalidade de avaliar o efeito da umidade do solo sobre o módulo de elasticidade (E), parâmetro elástico que afeta a rigidez no contato entre rocha e solo no momento do choque e, por conseguinte, o próprio ε. Para fins de comparação, um solo derivado de rocha ácida e outro de rocha básica foram coletados na região serrana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Procedeu-se à caracterização da mineralogia das rochas de origem e dos solos derivados, bem como dos índices físicos dos solos. Após a determinação da curva característica, os solos foram moldados em diferentes teores de umidade e submetidos a ensaios de compressão triaxial do tipo não adensado e não drenado. Os resultados mostraram variação de mais de uma ordem de grandeza do (E) em função da umidade do solo, indicando que esta tem considerável influência na rigidez do contato entre o solo e a rocha, tornando os alcances dependentes da variação sazonal de umidade nas encostas.
<b>Umbrella Starwort <I>Stellaria umbellata</I> Turcz. (Caryophyllaceae): a new record to the flora of the western Himalaya, India</b>
Authors: Chandra Satish , Rawat D. S. 
Published: March 2018

The species Stellaria umbellata is reported as a new record for the western Himalayan flora. Critical examination of the species in nature, Indian herbaria, online herbaria and protologue confirmed its identity as Stellaria umbellata. Earlier, it was erroneously identified in the western Himalaya as Stellaria subumbellata or Holosteum umbellatum. This species was previously not reported from the western, central or eastern Himalaya and thus, it is also a new record for the flora of the Himalaya.

Published: March 2018

Human-monkey conflicts reached crisis proportions in Sri Lanka over the last 10 years due to extensive deforestation to promote rapid economic growth and agricultural expansion. This resulted in complaints from the public with demands for Sri Lanka’s Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC) to solve the problem without delay. Caught between political pressure and public outcry, the DWC’s efforts to deal with the crisis gradually fell into disarray. To overcome this, the SPEARS Foundation--, offered to help the DWC to develop a strategic plan to deal with human-monkey conflicts. This plan was developed through a series of workshops and submitted to the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Wildlife in March 2016 for approval. During and after the development of the strategy, some of its key elements were implemented by the SPEARS Foundation. One of these elements was documenting details of human-monkey conflict from letters of complaint received by DWC. This information was used to initiate a series of field surveys to identify sites suitable for long-term protection of monkeys and other wildlife. When these areas are identified they would be designated as community conservation areas (CCAs), and managed by local stakeholders on a sustainable basis under the supervision of DWC. Establishing CCAs is a new paradigm for Sri Lanka to conserve wildlife while benefitting local communities. Its details were presented in the strategic plan submitted to the government. In this paper, we present the information obtained from the letters of complaint received by DWC and discuss its details. In subsequent reports, we will discuss the results of our field surveys to identify areas suitable for the establishment of CCAs.

<b>A Babbler’s tale: assessing the distribution of <I>Turdoides striata</I> (Dumont, 1823) (Aves: Passeriformes: Leiothrichidae) in India</b>
Authors: Gupta Nishikant , Talukdar Gautam 
Published: March 2018

The Jungle Babbler Turdoides striata is an agriculturally important, non-endemic bird found throughout India, however, very little information is available regarding this less known/less studied species’ current distribution and population size. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has evaluated the species as ‘Least Concern’, however, increasing anthropogenic stressors adversely impact the species’ natural habitat; and the changing climatic variables could affect its geographical range, population and ecology. An online survey was conducted during 2014–2015 (targeting 232 ornithological forums comprising of over 4,00,000 members) to obtain information on the species’ location, and number of individuals in each social group in India. The reported sites were verified during 2016–2017 by visiting the individual locations. A total of 3,030 individual birds forming 400 social groups were recorded from 24 states and union territories of India. This novel study utilized public participation as an important data collection tool for the species, which has a reportedly large distribution range. Importantly, the findings of this study contribute to the existing baseline information on the non-endemic bird species of India.

Published: March 2018

Background
Although the increased prevalence and severity of clinical depression and elevated cardiovascular disease risk represent 2 vexing public health issues, the growing awareness of their combined presentation compounds the challenge. The obese Zucker rat, a model of the metabolic syndrome, spontaneously develops significant depressive symptoms in parallel with the progression of the metabolic syndrome and, thus, represents a compelling model for study. The primary objective was to assess the impact on both cardiovascular outcomes, specifically vascular structure and function, and depressive symptoms in obese Zucker rats after aggressive treatment for cardiovascular disease risk factors with long‐term exercise or targeted pharmacological interventions.

Methods and Results

We chronically treated obese Zucker rats with clinically relevant interventions against cardiovascular disease risk factors to determine impacts on vascular outcomes and depressive symptom severity. While most of the interventions (chronic exercise, anti‐hypertensive, the interventions (long‐term exercise, antihypertensive, antidyslipidemia, and antidiabetic) were differentially effective at improving vascular outcomes, only those that also resulted in a significant improvement to oxidant stress, inflammation, arachidonic acid metabolism (prostacyclin versus thromboxane A
2
), and their associated sequelae were effective at also blunting depressive symptom severity. Using multivariable analyses, discrimination between the effectiveness of treatment groups to maintain behavioral outcomes appeared to be dependent on breaking the cycle of inflammation and oxidant stress, with the associated outcomes of improving endothelial metabolism and both cerebral and peripheral vascular structure and function.

Conclusions
This initial study provides a compelling framework from which to further interrogate the links between cardiovascular disease risk factors and depressive symptoms and suggests mechanistic links and potentially effective avenues for intervention.
The Visiting Husband Revisited: A Cautionary Tale
Authors: Stewart Frank H. 
Published: March 2018

In 1910, a distinguished ethnographer, Father Antonin Jaussen, described an unusual form of marriage among the Bedouin of northern Arabia and Transjordan. In this type of marriage the wife was always a widow with young children. In contrast to the normal type of marriage, she did not maintain a joint household with her new husband, the husband had no obligation to support her, and he had no authority over her. She remained with the children of her late husband in her own household, supported by the resources derived from her late husband’s estate. The new husband – the musarrib in Arabic – merely came to her in the evening and left again in the morning. In an earlier article (1998), Stewart analysed Jaussen’s data and also information about a similar type of marriage recorded by Hilma Granqvist among Palestinian villagers near Bethlehem in the 1920s. Musarrib marriage had not been reported again since that time, and Stewart believed it to be extinct. This turned out to be incorrect: during recent visits to the Bedouin of central Sinai, he discovered that musarrib marriages of the type described by Jaussen still exist. He also found musarrib marriages of a different type, in which the wife is not a widow and remains with, and is supported by, her natal family. Again, the husband merely visits her and has no authority over her. This article reports on and analyses this new material, which may also shed indirect light on the history of misyār marriage.
The Commemoration Chancery: New Evidence about a Little-Known Institution in 17th-Century Muscovy – Панихидный приказ
Authors: Liseitsev Dmitrii V. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This article treats one of the least-known administrative institutions in Muscovy in the seventeenth century: the Commemoration Chancery (or Panikhidnyi prikaz). The discovery of previously unknown materials allows us for the first time to consider the timing of, and reasons for, the creation of this chancery. Income and Expenditure Books (Prikhodno-raskhodnye knigi) from the tsar’s Treasury (Kazennyi prikaz) include previously unnoticed references to the Commemoration Chancery, the earliest reference dating to 1616 – a full decade earlier than the previous first mention of the chancery in sources. An analysis of the available records suggests that the Commemoration Chancery during the reign of the first Romanov tsar, Mikhail Fedorovich (1613–1645), was originally an integral part of the Chancery of the Great Court, not a separate entity. This study also suggests that the chancery was set up during the early years of the reign of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich in order to organize religious commemoration services (panikhidy) for previous Russian rulers, with the evident goal of helping to link the Romanovs to the old dynasty and thereby bolster the new dynasty’s legitimacy on the throne.
A Critical Analysis of the Concept of “Gnosticism” in Polish Literary Studies
Authors: Kwiatkowski Fryderyk 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
In Polish literary-historical criticism, the concept of Gnosticism has been used most frequently as a hermeneutical category that makes it possible to understand better the oeuvre of authors from Central and Eastern Europe. Polish scholars have successfully identified (neo)gnostic ideas present in the works of Jerzy Hulewicz, Tadeusz Miciński, and Franz Kafka. By referring to the works of Hans Jonas, Kurt Rudolph, and Jerzy Prokopiuk, many of them, unfortunately, have reproduced stereotypes on Gnosticism. In light of more recent studies on Gnosticism, the conclusions of their inquiries have become problematic. The main goal of this paper, therefore, is to highlight the most common errors present in the examination of Polish literary scholars from the perspective of Gnostic studies, as well as the inaccuracies in their methodology that stem from outdated scholarly materials.
Origins of the Decadal Predictability of East Asian Land Summer Monsoon Rainfall
Authors: Li Juan , Wang Bin 
Published: March 2018

AbstractThe present study aims to explore the origins of decadal predictability of East Asian land summer monsoon rainfall (EA-LR) and estimate its potential decadal predictability. As a preliminary study, a domain-averaged EA-LR index (EA-LI) is targeted as it represents the leading mode of variability reasonably well. It is found that the decadal variations of EA-LI are primarily linked to a cooling over the central-eastern tropical Pacific (CEP) and a warming over the extratropical North Pacific and western tropical Pacific (NWP) during May–October. Two numerical experiments suggest that the CEP cooling may be a major driver of EA-LR, while the NWP warming, which is largely a response, cannot be treated as a forcing to EA-LR. However, this does not mean that the NWP sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) play no role. To elaborate on this point, a third experiment is conducted in which the observed cooling is nudged in the CEP but the SST is nudged to climatology in the NWP (i.e., atmosphere–ocean interaction is not allowed). The result shows anomalous northerlies and decreased rainfall over East Asia. Results of the three experiments together suggest that both the forcings from the CEP and the atmosphere–ocean interaction in the NWP are important for EA-LR. Assuming that the tropical and North Pacific SSTAs can be “perfectly” forecasted, the so-called perfect prediction of EA-LI, which is achieved by a physics-based empirical model, yields a significant temporal correlation coefficient skill of 0.70 at a 7–10-yr lead time during a 40-yr independent hindcast (1968–2009), providing an estimation of the lower bound of potential decadal predictability of EA-LI.

Objective: To identify why the National Clinical Guideline recommendation of 45 minutes of each appropriate therapy daily is not met in many English stroke units. Design: Mixed-methods case-study evaluation, including modified process mapping, non-participant observations of service organisation and therapy delivery, documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews. Setting: Eight stroke units in four English regions. Subjects: Seventy-seven patients with stroke, 53 carers and 197 stroke unit staff were observed; 49 patients, 50 carers and 131 staff participants were interviewed. Results: Over 1000 hours of non-participant observations and 433 patient-specific therapy observations were undertaken. The most significant factor influencing amount and frequency of therapy provided was the time therapists routinely spent, individually and collectively, in information exchange. Patient factors, including fatigue and tolerance influenced therapists’ decisions about frequency and intensity, typically resulting in adaptation of therapy rather than no provision. Limited use of individual patient therapy timetables was evident. Therapist staffing levels were associated with differences in therapy provision but were not the main determinant of intensity and frequency. Few therapists demonstrated understanding of the evidence underpinning recommendations for increased therapy frequency and intensity. Units delivering more therapy had undertaken patient-focused reorganisation of therapists’ working practices, enabling them to provide therapy consistent with guideline recommendations. Conclusion: Time spent in information exchange impacted on therapy provision in stroke units. Reorganisation of therapists’ work improved alignment with guidelines.
Repeated intermittent oral amphetamine administration results in locomotor tolerance not sensitization

Published: March 2018

Background: The phenomenon of locomotor sensitization to injected amphetamine is well-characterised. The increased locomotor activity found acutely is enhanced with repeated intermittent treatment. This effect arises due to hypersensitization of the dopaminergic system and is linked to drug addiction. A clinical population exposed to chronic repeated intermittent amphetamine treatment, such as is found for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), may be expected to be more at risk of addiction following this treatment. However, evidence suggests the opposite may be true. This suggests the route of administration may determine the direction of effects. Aims and methods: We aimed to establish how an oral amphetamine treatment regimen, similar to that used in ADHD, impacts on locomotor activity, specifically whether tolerance or sensitization would arise. Healthy hooded Lister rats were given amphetamine (2 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) or a vehicle solution once daily for 4 weeks with a 5 day on, 2 day off schedule. Locomotor activity was measured on the first day of treatment to establish the acute effects and on the final day of treatment to examine the chronic effects. Results: As expected, acute doses of amphetamine increased locomotor activity, although this only reached statistical significance for the 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg doses. By contrast, after chronic treatment, animals administered these doses showed reduced activity indicating drug tolerance rather than sensitization had occurred. Conclusion: We suggest that the route of administration used in ADHD, which results in more stable and longer duration drug levels in the blood, results in tolerance rather than sensitization and that this effect could explain the reduced likelihood of substance addiction in those treated with psychostimulants for ADHD.
Micro-computed tomographic evaluation of the effect of the final apical size prepared by rotary nickel-titanium files on the removal efficacy of hard-tissue debris
Authors: Xu Ke , Wang Juan , Wang Ke , Gen Nan , Li Jin 
Published: March 2018

Objective This study was performed to compare the removal efficacy of hard-tissue debris in mandibular first molars prepared to various apical sizes. Methods The mesial root canals of 40 extracted mandibular first molars were prepared by rotary nickel-titanium files to an apical size of #25/0.04 (Group #2504), #30/0.04 (Group #3004), #35/0.04 (Group #3504), and #40/0.04 (Group #4004). Irrigation was performed with 5.25% NaOCl and 17% EDTA. Micro-computed tomography was used to scan the samples before and after root canal preparation. Remnant hard-tissue debris was identified, quantified, and visualized three-dimensionally using shape recognition and image superimposition analysis, and the debris was mapped to its location. Results After preparation, 11.67%±2.99% of the root canals contained hard-tissue debris in Group #2504, 8.00%±2.71% in Group #3004, 7.17%±2.88% in Group #3504, and 4.51%±1.61% in Group #4004. The amount of accumulated hard-tissue debris was significantly less in Group #4004 than in the other groups. However, there were no significant differences between Groups #3004 and #3504. Conclusions An increased final apical size resulted in significantly lower debris accumulation. However, no root canal in any group was completely free from hard-tissue debris, and debris was mostly found in the isthmus of the mesial root canals.
