Processing gender stereotypes in dementia patients and older healthy adults: a self-paced reading study
Authors: Müller-Feldmeth Daniel , Ahnefeld Katharina , Hanulíková Adriana 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
We used self-paced reading to examine whether stereotypical associations of verbs with women or men as prototypical agents (e.g. the craftsman knits a sweater) are activated during sentence processing in dementia patients and healthy older adults. Effects of stereotypical knowledge on language processing have frequently been observed in young adults, but little is known about age-related changes in the activation and integration of stereotypical information. While syntactic processing may remain intact, semantic capacities are often affected in dementia. Since inferences based on gender stereotypes draw on social and world knowledge, access to stereotype information may also be affected in dementia patients. Results from dementia patients (n = 9, average age 86.6) and healthy older adults (n = 14, average age 79.5) showed slower reading times and less accuracy in comprehension scores for dementia patients compared to the control group. While activation of stereotypical associations of verbs was visible in both groups, they differed with respect to the time-course of processing. The effect of stereotypes on comprehension accuracy was visible for healthy adults only. The evidence from reading times suggests that older adults with and without dementia engage stereotypical inferences during reading, which is in line with research on young adults.
Taking the stance of quotidian in talking about pains: resilience and defiance
Authors: Matsumoto Yoshiko 
Published: June 2019

AbstractIn older Japanese women’s conversational interactions associated with psychologically challenging conditions such as experiences of illness and a husband’s death, there are segments told from a quotidian (or ordinary) perspective, i.e. a perspective that is affectively incongruous with the situation. With this quotidian (re)framing of their “painful” experiences, the participants collaboratively construct a quotidian positioning and stance, rather than the position that may be socially or contextually expected in the event or situation described in the conversation. This paper elaborates on the composition and social meaning of quotidian stance, referring to concepts such as frames, positioning, and stancetaking. The important psychological and social aspects of quotidian stancetaking in verbal interaction will be highlighted. One is that the performance of being quotidian in the context of retelling “painful” stories can index participants’ psychological resilience in difficult and extraordinary situations. This can help the participants regain normality in abnormal situations. Another is that such quotidian performance against the backdrop of the socially-held negative stereotypes of older people can index defiance to such sociocultural expectations.
Expression of CENPE and its prognostic role in non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: Hao Xuezhi , Qu Tao 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Background
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most important causes of death worldwide. Most patients are diagnosed in the advanced stage and have a poor prognosis. This study was to investigate the expression and significance of CENPE in NSCLC.

Method
Collecting information about CENPE in the Oncoming database, and perform a further analysis of the data in the current database to conduct a meta-analysis for its functional role in NSCLC. Patient life cycle analysis using Kaplan-Meier Plotter and GEPIA databases are used to perform patient survival analysis.

Result
A total of 12 studies involved the expression of CENPE in NSCLC cancer tissues and normal tissues, including 1195 samples. CENPE was highly expressed in NSCLC cell carcinoma compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the expression of CENPE was correlated with the overall survival rate of CENPE. The overall survival rate of patients with high expression of CENPE was poor, and the prognosis of patients with low expression of CENPE was better (P<0.05).

Conclusion
We propose high expression of CENPE in NSLCL tissue is related to the prognosis of NSCLC, which may provide important basis for the development of tumor drugs.

Bulgarian-English Code-switching in Internet Forum Communication: The BG-mamma Case
Authors: Todorova Bilyana Bozhinova 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to introduce the author's observations on the influence that English has on the Bulgarian forum "Netspeak" for women living in the USA. The collected data for the investigation are excerpted from a Bulgarian forum platform. The emphasis is on code-switching, one of the main topics in sociolinguistics; as well as on the interlanguage, which is a result of the penetration of some elements from English into the first language of communicators. The orthography may also be influenced as in Bulgaria the Cyrillic alphabet is used.
The informal situation is a prerequisite for the mixed style use, especially in vocabulary. Different topics have been observed and discussed by users in the forum: the choice of baby accessories; baggage loss in airports; child diseases, child physical and mental development, etc.
The investigated forum discussion includes 52,020 lexical items. Excerpted English words are few - only 1.5%. Most of them are nouns because of their easy grammatical adaptation. The verb group is not affected so noticeably. The Bulgarian verbal system is very complicated and English verbs used in Bulgarian context are grammatically adapted. There are some exceptions when people use ready-made constructions like idioms and phrasal verbs.
Warum wir eine geschlechtersensible Public Health-Lehre brauchen!
Authors: Schreitmüller Julia , Pfleiderer Bettina 
Published: June 2019

Zusammenfassung
Geschlechtersensible Gesundheitsversorgung umfasst eine interdisziplinäre Perspektive, die den meisten Gesundheitsbereichen eine neue Dimension eröffnen sollte. Um dies zu ermöglichen, ist eine entsprechende Ausbildung zukünftiger Public Healther*innen notwendig. Wichtig für die Public Health Lehre ist dabei die Vermittlung geschlechtersensibler Fragestellungen (z.B. bezüglich Ätiologie) und Analysen (z.B. Stratifizierung) sowie die Integration geschlechtergerechter Didaktik und interdisziplinärer Projekte (z.B. gemeinsam mit der Geschlechterforschung).
„Anders den Frauen und anders den Männern“ – Differentielle Einflüsse von Arbeitslosigkeit auf die psychische Gesundheit
Authors: Paul Karsten Ingmar , Zechmann Andrea , Moser Klaus 
Published: June 2019

Zusammenfassung
Das Geschlecht beeinflusst den Zusammenhang zwischen Arbeitslosigkeit und psychischer Gesundheit. Metaanalysen zeigen, dass der Befindensunterschied zwischen Arbeitslosen und Erwerbstätigen bei Männern größer ausfällt als bei Frauen. Gängige theoretische Argumente haben allerdings Schwierigkeiten zu erklären, warum sich arbeitslose Männer dennoch besser fühlen als arbeitslose Frauen.

Published: June 2019

Zusammenfassung
Die Gesundheitsberichterstattung (GBE) informiert über die gesundheitliche Lage von Frauen und Männern. Geschlechtergruppen werden derzeit eher homogen dargestellt. Unterschiede innerhalb der Gruppen und auch das Thema der geschlechtlichen und sexuellen Vielfalt finden bislang wenig Beachtung. Die GBE steht daher vor der Frage, wie sozial und geschlechterbezogen angemessen differenziert werden kann. Das Potenzial des Ansatzes der Intersektionalität soll künftig auf seine Nutzbarkeit in der GBE geprüft werden.
Does vitamin D prevent radiotherapy-induced toxicity?
Authors: Cihan Yasemin Benderli 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Vitamin D is known as the bone hormone, it is also know that it has effects on cancer because of its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory characteristics and its effects on cytokine levels. It is seen that vitamin D use together with radiotherapy can have a positive effect on cancer treatment. It should be investigated whether toxicities due to radiation is prevented by vitamin D metabolites’ increasing the induction of immunomodulator cells and the capacities of immune response cells. Use of 1,25[OH]2 Vitamin D3 analogs as an adjuvant immunomodulator for patients receiving radiotherapy should be evaluated. There is a need for studies to be done in this regard.

Abstract
Miller, WM, Ye, X, and Jeon, S. Effects of maximal vs. submaximal isometric fatiguing exercise on subsequent submaximal exercise performance. J Strength Cond Res 34(7): 1875–1883, 2020—Exercise-induced muscle fatigue directly influences subsequent exercise performance. Thus, we examined task failure times for submaximal intermittent fatiguing isometric contractions performed after a bout of sustained maximal vs. submaximal isometric fatiguing contractions with the dominant elbow flexors. Twenty physically active individuals 8 men (mean ± SD = 21.4 ± 1.8 years; 80.9 ± 12.5 kg; 180 ± 6.4 cm) and 12 women (mean ± SD = 21.4 ± 2.7; 66.8 ± 15.6 kg; 165.7 ± 7.1 cm) participated in a 3-visit randomized cross-over study. Visit 1 included familiarization, and 2 and 3 were randomized for sustained maximal (until force was below 50% of the maximal force value) or submaximal conditions (50% of maximal force until task failure), followed by submaximal intermittent isometric contractions to task failure. Surface electromyography was recorded through the biceps brachii during all fatiguing contractions. Task failure time was significantly shorter for the maximal compared with submaximal condition, and no significant difference in sex or condition was found for the subsequent fatiguing condition. Electromyography amplitude significantly increased in the submaximal intermittent isometric contractions from prefatigue and first and final postfatigue with no condition or sex differences. Electromyography mean frequency significantly decreased from prefatigue and first and final postfatigue for both sexes, with no condition or sex differences. With both maximal and submaximal exercises inducing the same level of force deficit, our results suggested that both exercises might have imposed a similar burden on the neuromuscular system, thereby not providing differential effects on the subsequent submaximal exercise performance.
Warm Working as a Potential Substitute for Hot Working of Austenitic Steel in Selected Applications
Authors: Aashranth B. , Arvinth Davinci M. , Samantaray Dipti , Borah Utpal 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The conventional manufacturing route for austenitic steels involves casting, ingot breakdown, subsequent hot working, and finally cold working, with numerous intermediate heat treatment stages. In this study, the potential of warm working to substitute some steps of the conventional manufacturing process is examined. A low-carbon austenitic stainless steel, SS304L, is subjected to cold, warm, and hot deformation in light of recent understanding of warm working. The deformation response in these two regimes is compared on the basis of metallurgical, mechanical, and process variables. Metallurgical response is compared on the basis of resultant grain size and stability of microstructure to subsequent heat treatment. The differences in mechanical response in the two regimes are evaluated through analysis of flow curves. Finally, the important but often ignored parameter of process stability is examined by performing nonisothermal deformation and examining the effect on microstructure. The results are used to propose some applications where warm working can substitute hot and cold working.
Next-Generation Sequencing Reveals Increased Anti-oxidant Response and Ecdysone Signaling in STAT Supercompetitors in Drosophila

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Cell competition is the elimination of one viable population of cells (the losers) by a neighboring fitter population (the winners) and was discovered by studies in the Drosophila melanogaster wing imaginal disc. Supercompetition is a process in which cells with elevated JAK/STAT signaling or increased Myc become winners and outcompete wild-type neighbors. To identify the genes that are differentially regulated in STAT supercompetitors, we purified these cells from Drosophila wing imaginal discs and performed next-generation sequencing. Their transcriptome was compared to those of control wing disc cells and Myc supercompetitors. Bioinformatics revealed that STAT and Myc supercompetitors have distinct transcriptomes with only 41 common differentially regulated genes. Furthermore, STAT supercompetitors have elevated reactive oxygen species, an anti-oxidant response and increased ecdysone signaling. Using a combination of methods, we validated 13 differentially expressed genes. These data sets will be useful resources to the community.

Published: June 2019

[English]: A common criticism of project assessment is the subjectivity and inconsistency of raters in scoring. In the present article, we provide the result of validity and inter-rater reliability test of the project assessment instrument. The instrument with a rubric was used to assess students’ project task in grade eight for function and relation topic. The task was adopted from mathematics textbooks used in the schools. The instrument has been tested to 10 raters/teachers and 94 grade eight students from three schools (in Surabaya and Gresik). Data were collected through the project assessment sheet along with its rubric as the scoring guidance for the teachers. Construct validity was analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis, while a reliability test was conducted by using inter-rater reliability method with the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. The result of the validity test showed that the instrument did not fulfill the criteria of construct validity. It is indicated by the different number of factors between the initial construction and the empirical test result. In term of inter-rater reliability, the instrument is highly reliable. The findings indicate the need for testing the non-test assessment instrument provided on mathematics textbooks, so the aspects of its assessment sheet fulfill the valid and reliable criteria.

Assessing Reproductive Decision-making Among HIV-Positive Women in Kumasi, Ghana
Authors: Hersey Alicia E. , Norman Betty , Reece Rebecca 
Published: June 2019

Background or Objectives: HIV-positive women have higher rates of unmet need for contraception and unintended pregnancy and face unique obstacles in accessing family planning services, such as healthcare- related stigma and disclosing HIV status to partners. This study characterizes factors that influence the reproductive decision-making of women living with HIV and identifies areas for improvement in reproductive counseling in Kumasi.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, HIV-positive women, ages 18 to 45 years, presenting for care at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital between June and August 2017 were interviewed using structured surveys. Information gathered included demographics, method of contraceptive use, initiation of anti- retroviral therapy (ART), knowledge and use of contraception, and future reproductive plans. The primary outcome was current family planning use and future reproductive desire. Univariate analysis was used to characterize the demographics of the study group. Bivariate analysis including Chi-squared test was employed to assess the association between use of family planning between women with an HIV-positive and HIV-negative partner, with significance set at p < 0.05.
Results: A total of 88 women were interviewed. The unmet need for contraception was 10%. Among all sexually active women, 26% did not use contraception. Fewer women with HIV-negative or untested partners were using contraception (65% and 67%, respectively), compared to women with HIV-positive partners (93%). Partner preference was the most common reason cited for not using a method of contraceptive (46%). Similar trends were found in future reproductive desires based on age cohorts, partner status, and use of family planning.
Conclusion and Global Health Implications: Significant barriers to family planning use among HIV- positive women remain, especially those with a serodiscordant partner. Most partners were aware of their partner’s HIV status. This highlights an important opportunity to include partners in HIV and contraceptive counseling.

Abstract
Background

Worldwide, Drug resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) remains a big problem; the diagnostic capacity has superseded the DR-TB clinical management capacity thereby causing ethical challenges. In Sub-Saharan Africa, treatment is either inadequate or lacking and some diagnosed patients are on treatment waiting lists. In Uganda, various health system challenges impeded scale up of DR-TB care in 2012; only three treatment initiation facilities existed, with only 41 of the estimated 1010 cases enrolled on treatment yet 300 were on the waiting list and there was no DR-TB treatment scale up plan. To scale up care, National TB/Leprosy Program (NTLP) with partners rolled out a DR-TB mixed model of care. In this paper, we share achievements and outcomes resulting from the implementation of this mixed Model of DR-TB care.

Methods

Routine NTLP DR-TB program data from 2013 to 2017 cohorts was collected from all the 15 DR-TB treatment initiation sites and analyzed using STATA version 14.2. We presented outcomes as the number of patient backlog cleared, DR-TB initiation sites, cumulative patients enrolled, percentage of co-infected patients on co-trimoxazole preventive therapy (CPT) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) as well as the six, twelve interim and 24 months treatment outcomes as per the Uganda NTLP 2016 Programmatic Management of drug Resistant Tuberculosis (PMDT) guidelines.

Results

Over the period 2013-2017, DR-TB treatment initiation sites increased from three to 15, cumulative patient enrollment rose from 41 to 1,311 and the 300-patient backlog was cleared. Treatment success rate (TSR) of 73% was achieved above the global TSR average rate of 50%.

Conclusions

The Uganda DR-TB mixed model of care coupled with early application of continuous improvement approaches, enhanced cohort reviews and use of multi-disciplinary teams allowed for rapid DR-TB program expansion, rapid clearance of patient backlog, attainment of high cumulative enrollment and high treatment success rates. Sustainability of these achievements is needed to further reduce the DR-TB burden in the country. We highly recommend this mixed model of care in settings with similar challenges.
