Authors: TYLER RICHARD , FOWEATHER LAWRENCE , MACKINTOSH KELLY A. , STRATTON GARETH 
Published: August 2018

ABSTRACT

Purpose
The first aim was to develop a dynamic measure of physical competence that requires a participant to demonstrate fundamental, combined and complex movement skills, and assessors to score both processes and products (Dragon Challenge [DC]). The second aim was to assess the psychometric properties of the DC in 10- to 14-yr-old children.

Methods
The first phase involved the development of the DC, including the review process that established face and content validity. The second phase used DC surveillance data (n = 4355; 10–12 yr) to investigate construct validity. In the final phase, a convenience sample (n = 50; 10–14 yr) performed the DC twice (1-wk interval), the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2), and the Stability Skills Assessment (SSA). These data were used to investigate concurrent validity, and test–retest, interrater and intrarater reliabilities.

Results
In support of construct validity, boys (P < 0.001) and secondary school children (P < 0.001) obtained higher DC total scores than girls and primary school children, respectively. A principal component analysis revealed a nine-component solution, with the three criteria scores for each individual DC task loading onto their own distinct component. This nine-factor structure was confirmed using a confirmatory factor analysis. Results for concurrent validity showed that there was a high positive correlation between DC total score and TGMD-2 and SSA overall score (r(43) = 0.86, P < 0.001). DC total score showed good test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.80; 95% confidence interval, 0.63, 0.90; P < 0.001). Interrater and intrarater reliabilities on all comparison levels was good (all intraclass correlation coefficients > 0.85).

Conclusion
The DC is a valid and reliable tool to measure elements of physical competence in children age 10 to 14 yr.

Background: Mothers and their newborns are vulnerable to threats to their health and survival during the postnatal period. Full postnatal care (PNC) uptake decreases maternal deaths and is also essential for first 1,000 days of newborn’s life, but PNC usage is usually inadequate in rural areas. Little is known about the full PNC utilization among rural Myanmar women. This study, therefore, aimed to study the situation of the utilization of full PNC and examine its determinants. Methods: This community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in selected villages of the Magway Region, Myanmar. A total of 500 married women who had children aged under 2 years were selected using multistage cluster sampling and interviewed with semi-structured questionnaires. The determinants of full PNC usage were identified by generalized estimating equation (GEE) under a logistic regression framework. Results: Among 500 rural women, around a quarter (25.20%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 21.58-29.21%) utilized full PNC. Multivariable analysis revealed that factors associated with full PNC usage included mothers attaining educational level of secondary or higher (adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 2.16; 95% CI, 1.18-3.94), belonging to higher income level (AOR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.11-3.68), having male involvement (AOR, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.02-4.69), being of low birth order (i.e. the first birth) (AOR, 3.26; 95% CI, 1.80-5.91), and having awareness of postnatal danger signs (AOR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.15-3.83). Moreover, the presence of misconceptions on postnatal practice was identified as a strong barrier to adequate PNC usage (AOR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.04-0.36). Conclusion: Most of the rural women practiced inadequate PNC in Myanmar. Maternal healthcare services at rural areas should be intensively promoted, particularly among women who had high birth order (greater number of births). Health education regarding perinatal misconceptions and danger signs, and benefits of full PNC services usage should be emphasized and urgently extended.
Update on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Authors: Vasso Michele , Antoniadis Alexander , Helmy Naeder 
Published: August 2018

Despite the excellent success rates of modern implants, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) continues to show relatively high failure and revision rates, especially when compared with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). These higher rates of failure and revision are mainly observed during the early (< 5 years) post-operative period and are often due to incorrect indications and/or surgical errors. The correct clinical and radiological indications for UKA have therefore been analysed and correlated as far as possible with the principal mechanisms and timing of failures of UKA.

Background : Picky eater tended to reject new or unfamiliar foods. They had preferred food that lead to less food intake diversity. Futhermore, inadequate variation and amount of food intake could distrupt the growth of children.Objective : To determine the correlation between picky eating and nutritional status in preschool children.Methods : This was an observational studies with cross sectional design. Sixty-three subjects were randomly selected based on the inclusion criteria. Data collected included socio-demographic information. Picky eating was obtained through the Children’s Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Nutritional status was measured based on weight-for-height z-score (WHZ), weight-for-age z-score (WAZ), and height-for-age z-score (HAZ).Nutrition intake was assessed by 2x24h dietary recall. Physical activity was obtained using Early Years-Physical Activity Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and Fisher's test.Results : The prevalence of picky eater was 52.4% in preschoolers. WHZ, WAZ, and HAZ mean were -0.3±1.5SD, -0.2±1.3SD, and HAZ -0.2±1.3SD, respectively. Picky eating was associated with carbohydrate and fiber intake (p<0.05). There was no correlation between picky eating and nutritional status of WHZ, WAZ and HAZ (p>0.05). Meanwhile, food intake associated with nutritional status of BB/U was energy, protein and fat intake (p<0.05).Conclusion : There was no relation between picky eating with nutritional status of WHZ, WAZ and HAZ in preschool children.
Widowhood and Retirement Timing: Evidence from the Health and Retirement Study
Authors: Schreiber Philipp 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The combination of an increasing life expectancy, low fertility rates, and an early effective retirement age creates a pressure to act for governments and organizations. The pay-as-you-go social security systems of many countries are troubled by the increasing ratio of retirees to working people. In addition, many organizations face difficulties caused by a shrinking workforce and the accompanied shortage of skilled workers. To counteract, it is essential to create an environment in which older workers are encouraged to stay in the workforce. Therefore, it is important to understand which factors influence the retirement timing decision of workers. This study analyzes how widowhood and changes in demographic, health-related, and financial factors lead to changes in retirement plans of Health and Retirement Study (HRS) respondents. I compare respondents’ actual retirement age with their retirement plans elicited in the HRS wave prior to retirement. The strongest change in retirement timing is caused by widowhood. Respondents who become widowed retire on average 1.7 years earlier than previously planned. The estimated effect of widowhood goes beyond the deterioration of physical health and mental health. My findings suggest that an intervention in an early stage after widowhood by the employer or by health and social care services can help the widowed employee to overcome the temporary adverse effects of widowhood and to prevent a precipitous retirement decision.
Leadership in Tax Competition with Fiscal Equalization Transfers
Authors: Haraguchi Junichi , Ogawa Hikaru 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
We propose a timing game of asymmetric tax competition with fiscal equalization scheme. The study finds that governments tend to play a sequential-move game as the scale of equalization transfer increases, which explains the emergence of tax leaders in tax competition. The presence of a tax leader is likely to exacerbate capital misallocation among countries, suggesting that equalization transfers aimed at narrowing the interregional fiscal gap might cause an inefficient capital allocation.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the most common causes of childhood systemic vasculitis, with the potential to cause significant cardiovascular complications, especially if undiagnosed. An investigation of coronary artery abnormalities with the application of appropriate therapeutic measures can improve the prognosis in these infants, decreasing the risk of coronary artery aneurysms. Neonatal KD is a rare event, often characterized only by few of the clinical features observed in older children. In this case report, we describe a newborn male who presented an incomplete clinical presentation of KD, where symptoms of the disease erupted immediately after birth. The objective of this report is to draw the attention of pediatricians and neonatologists to the possible presence of KD in an asymptomatic newborn during the immediate postnatal period, even in the absence of the classic features of KD, such as fever.

Abstract
Roco proteins have come into focus after mutations in the gene coding for the human Roco protein Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) were discovered to be one of the most common genetic causes of late onset Parkinson’s disease. Roco proteins are characterized by a Roc domain responsible for GTP binding and hydrolysis, followed by a COR dimerization device. The regulation and function of this RocCOR domain tandem is still not completely understood. To fully biochemically characterize Roco proteins, we performed a systematic survey of the kinetic properties of several Roco protein family members, including LRRK2. Together, our results show that Roco proteins have a unique G-protein cycle. Our results confirm that Roco proteins have a low nucleotide affinity in the micromolar range and thus do not strictly depend on G-nucleotide exchange factors. Measurement of multiple and single turnover reactions shows that neither Pi nor GDP release are rate-limiting, while this is the case for the GAP-mediated GTPase reaction of some small G-proteins like Ras and for most other high affinity Ras-like proteins, respectively. The K
M values of the reactions are in the range of the physiological GTP concentration, suggesting that LRRK2 functioning might be regulated by the cellular GTP level.
On the Size Distortion of a Test for Equality between the ATE and FE Estimands
Authors: Pacini David 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This note investigates the numerical performance of an existing asymptotic test for the null hypothesis of equality between the average treatment effect (ATE) and the group fixed-effect (FE) estimands based on the standardized difference between ATE and FE estimators. It shows that this test has a size distortion. This distortion has implications to empirical economic research. It can lead to erroneously confirm the relevance of heterogeneous responses to policy interventions.
Supposed and True Knowledge of the Qur’ān in Early Medieval Latin Literature, Eighth and Ninth Centuries
Authors: Tischler Matthias M. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This article intends to revise the still unrivalled opinion in Medieval Studies according to which knowledge of the Qur’ān in the early medieval Latin West is almost completely missing. For this purpose, it revises the current state of the art, enriches this panorama with some new findings in rarely studied or unknown sources and tries to assess a new profile of Latin reception of the Muslims’ central religious book. The study can show that authors of the early medieval Latin world ventured first, yet still polemical and apologetic approaches to the new religious phenomenon ‘Islam’ that produced not only superficial, hearsay-based, but first detailed knowledge of the Qur’ān.
The Reality of Love: An Affirmative Vision of Christianity Based on Kierkegaard’s Interpretation of the Maxim: Love is the Fulfilling of the Law
Authors: Słowikowski Andrzej 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Based on Kierkegaard’s interpretation of the maxim Love is the fulfillment of the law the present article seeks to show how consistent use of Kierkegaard’s terminology can aid in discovering the affirmative vision of Christianity implicitly contained in the philosopher’s religious writings. The starting point is in this case the Christian, spiritual account of love as established by God in every human being which fully manifests itself in the love for one’s neighbor. Only such a love is able to fulfill the law, that is, to make the temporal, human life entirely comprehensible and full of meaning. In order to approach this thesis properly, a differentiation between the possibility of love (law, nature) and the reality of love (love, eternity) is introduced. In effect, it is shown how the concepts of law and love, related to each other dialectically, are able to explain the fundamental relation of the temporal to the eternal in human existence. The pattern as to how this relation of love to the law should be played out is Jesus Christ, as one who, by his love for God, fulfilled the law of God’s love for man. In this act, he created for every human being the possibility of reconciliation with God and established Christianity as a positive religion, one in which there is actually no negative element in existence.
From Enthusiasm to Irony: Kierkegaard’s Reception of Norse Mythology and Literature
Authors: Smith Troy Wellington 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Although the reader of Either/Or is intended to be, at the very least, somewhat ambivalent towards the Kierkegaardian pseudonym A, I argue that this character’s enthusiasm for all things Old Norse is shared by the Kierkegaard of this period. Kierkegaard’s interest in his region’s romantic past, however, would be short-lived. As his authorship progressed from the aesthetic to the religious, he found himself in conflict with another titan of the Danish Golden Age, Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig. Since Grundtvig’s work dealt extensively with Norse mythology, Kierkegaard’s interest in the Norse cooled as his polemics against Grundtvig caught fire.
Stepanov-like pseudo almost periodic functions on time scales and applications to dynamic equations with delay
Authors: Tang Chao-Hong , Li Hong-Xu 
Published: August 2018

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce the concept ofSp-pseudo almost periodicity on time scales and present some basic properties of it, including the translation invariance, uniqueness of decomposition, completeness and composition theorem. Moreover, we prove the seemingly simple but nontrivial result that pseudo almost periodicity implies Stepanov-like pseudo almost periodicity. As an application of the abstract results, we present some existence and uniqueness results on the pseudo almost periodic solutions of dynamic equations with delay.
Polarization-independent tunable optical filter with variable bandwidth based on silicon-on-insulator waveguides

Published: August 2018

Abstract
We present a polarization-independent tunable optical filter with variable bandwidth based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides. The polarization-independent operation is achieved through the use of a polarization splitter-rotator and a polarization rotator-combiner, which are based on a bilevel adiabatic taper and an asymmetric directional coupler. Two stages of second-order microring resonators (MRRs) with different radii are used to achieve wavelength filtering with variable bandwidth and large free spectral range (FSR). Each stage of the second-order MRRs has a flat-top spectrum. The central wavelength of the filter is tuned by synchronous tuning of the two stages. The 3 dB bandwidth is adjusted via intentional misalignment of the passbands of the two stages. We demonstrate a prototype of such an optical filter on the SOI platform. The FSR of the fabricated device is about 90 nm. We show the tuning of the central wavelength from 1460 to 1550 nm. We adjust the 3 dB bandwidth from 37.5 to 100 GHz with a step of 12.5 GHz, with the overall insertion loss varying from −5.4 to −7.9 dB.
