This research was conducted in Sanden subdistrict Bantul district with the purpose of finding out: 1) the communication behavior of onion farmers, 2) factors affecting communication behaviour, 3) factors affecting farmer’s attitude, and 4) the influence of communication behavior, attitude, and other factors, toward technology adoption of onion cultivation.The method used in this research was descriptive approach by survey technique. The sampling of village and farming groups were done purposively, while the sampling of respondent farmers was done randomly. The number of total sample was 60 farmers consisted of 30 farmers from Manunggal Farming Group, Srigading Village, and 30 farmers from Karang Rejo Farming Group, Gadingharjo Village. The analysis methods used were proportion test and multiple linier regression analysis.The result of this research showed that farmer’s communication behavior belonged to low category. The credibility of communication media positively affected toward farmer’s communication behavior, while education, land size, and motivation didn’t have significant affect. Communication behavior, motivation, dan education positively affected toward farmer’s attitude, while land size didn’t have significant affect. Farmer’s attitude positively affected toward technology adoption of onion cultivation, communication behavior, motivation, education, dan land size didn’t have significant affect. Communication behavior affected toward attitude and furthermore attitude affected toward technology adoption of onion at sandy coastal land.
Decision making for the surgical approach of posterior petrous bone meningiomas
Authors: Roche Pierre-Hugues , Lubrano Vincent , Noudel Rémy , Melot Anthony , Régis Jean 
Published: December 2016

Object
The authors undertook this study to examine the surgical approaches used to treat posterior petrous bone meningiomas at a single institution and retrospectively evaluate their surgical strategy based on a previously published classification.

Methods
Cases in which craniotomies were performed to treat posterior petrous bone meningiomas between 2002 and 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Data were examined from 57 patients who were treated for 59 tumors. The tumors were classified into 3 types according to the location of their primary dural attachment: Type A, located around the porus trigeminus (33 tumors); Type M, located at the level of the porus of the internal auditory canal (IAC) (12 tumors); and Type P, located laterally to the IAC (14 tumors). The median tumor diameter was 34 mm (range 20–67 mm).

Results
The choice of the approach was based on tumor location, as the displacement of vascular structures and cranial nerves was primarily determined by the site of dural attachment on the posterior petrous bone. An anterior petrosectomy was performed in 82% of Type A meningiomas, and a retrosigmoid approach was used in 86% of Type P meningiomas. The spectrum of approaches was less uniform for Type M meningiomas. Overall, total resection was obtained in 39% of all cases, and in 18%, 50%, and 86% of Type A, Type M, and Type P tumors, respectively. The postoperative mortality rate was 8.8% (5 deaths among 57 patients), and all 5 patients who died during the early postoperative period had large Type A tumors. At last follow-up, the functional preservation of the facial nerve was excellent in 49 (94%) of the 52 surviving patients.

Conclusions
The authors believe that proper selection of the approach favorably impacts functional outcome in patients undergoing surgery for the treatment of skull base tumors. In the authors' case series of posterior petrous bone meningiomas, Type P and most Type M tumors were safely managed through a regular retrosigmoid approach, whereas Type A tumors were optimally treated via an epidural anterior petrosectomy.
Hemangiopericytomas of the skull base
Authors: Schirmer Clemens M. , Heilman Carl B. 
Published: December 2016

Object
Intracranial hemangiopericytomas are frequently located along the dural sinuses along the skull base and represent rare, aggressive CNS neoplasms that are difficult to distinguish from meningiomas based on both imaging and gross characteristics. The authors of this study describe 3 patients with these lesions and review the pertinent literature.

Methods
Two men and 1 woman, whose median age at the time of the initial presentation was 37 years (range 20–53 years), constitute this series. They underwent multimodal treatment consisting of resection, embolization, radiation therapy, and in 1 case chemotherapy.

Results
Two of the 3 patients treated were alive after a mean follow-up of 93 months (range 4–217 months). One patient died 217 months after the initial diagnosis. The longest tumor progression–free interval after the initial or secondary resection was 43 months (range 4–84 months).

Conclusions
Hemangiopericytomas have been reclassified as mesenchymal nonmeningothelial tumors. They have an inevitable tendency to recur locally and metastasize distally. The mainstay of therapy remains an aggressive attempt to achieve gross-total resection at the initial surgery. Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy should be offered to all patients, regardless of the degree of resection achieved. Diligent long-term follow-up is paramount as local recurrences and distal metastases can develop sometimes years after the initial treatment.

Object
The authors undertook this study to analyze the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in a large consecutive series of children 18 years of age and younger with treatment-resistant epilepsy and compare the safety and efficacy in children under 12 years of age with the outcomes in older children.

Methods
The authors retrospectively reviewed 141 consecutive cases involving children (75 girls and 66 boys) with treatment-resistant epilepsy in whom primary VNS implantation was performed by the senior author between November 1997 and April 2008 and who had at least 1 year of follow-up since implantation. The patients' mean age at vagus nerve stimulator insertion was 11.1 years (range 1–18 years). Eighty-six children (61.0%) were younger than 12 years at time of VNS insertion (which constitutes off-label usage of this device).

Results
Follow-up was complete for 91.8% of patients and the mean duration of VNS therapy in these patients was 5.2 years (range 25 days–11.4 years). Seizure frequency significantly improved with VNS therapy (mean reduction 58.9%, p < 0.0001) without a significant reduction in antiepileptic medication burden (median number of antiepileptic drugs taken 3, unchanged). Reduction in seizure frequency of at least 50% occurred in 64.8% of patients and 41.4% of patients experienced at least a 75% reduction. Major (3) and minor (6) complications occurred in 9 patients (6.4%) and included 1 deep infection requiring device removal, 1 pneumothorax, 2 superficial infections treated with antibiotics, 1 seroma/hematoma treated with aspiration, persistent cough in 1 patient, severe but transient neck pain in 1 patient, and hoarseness in 2 patients. There was no difference in efficacy or complications between children 12 years of age and older (FDA-approved indication) and those younger than 12 years of age (off-label usage). Linear regression analyses did not identify any demographic and clinical variables that predicted response to VNS.

Conclusions
Vagus nerve stimulation is a safe and effective treatment for treatment-resistant epilepsy in young adults and children. Over 50% of patients experienced at least 50% reduction in seizure burden. Children younger than 12 years had a response similar to that of older children with no increase in complications. Given the efficacy of this device and the devastating effects of persistent epilepsy during critical developmental epochs, randomized trials are needed to potentially expand the indications for VNS to include younger children.
Constrained Expressions and their Derivatives
Authors: Champarnaud Jean-Marc , Mignot Ludovic , Nicart Florent 
Published: December 2016

This paper proposes an extension to classical regular expressions by the addition of two operators allowing the inclusion of boolean formulae from the zeroth order logic. These expressions are called constrained expressions. The associated language is defined thanks to the notion of interpretation and of realization. We show that the language associated when both interpretation and realization are fixed is stricly regular and can be not regular otherwise. Furthermore, we use an extension of Antimirov’s partial derivatives in order to solve the membership test in the general case. Finally, we show that once the interpretation is fixed, the membership test of a word in the language denoted by a constrained expression can be undecidable whereas it is always decidable when the interpretation is not fixed.
TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE: COLORS, RATES, AND PROGENITORS
Authors: Heringer Epson , Pritchet Chris , Kezwer Jason , Graham Melissa L. , Sand David , Bildfell Chris 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
The rate of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in a galaxy depends not only on stellar mass, but also on star formation history (SFH). Here we show that two simple observational quantities (g − r or u − r host galaxy color, and r-band luminosity), coupled with an assumed delay time distribution (DTD) (the rate of SNe Ia as a function of time for an instantaneous burst of star formation), are sufficient to accurately determine a galaxy’s SN Ia rate, with very little sensitivity to the precise details of the SFH. Using this result, we compare observed and predicted color distributions of SN Ia hosts for the MENeaCS cluster supernova survey, and for the SDSS Stripe 82 supernova survey. The observations are consistent with a continuous DTD, without any cutoff. For old progenitor systems, the power-law slope for the DTD is found to be

. This result favors the double degenerate scenario for SN Ia, though other interpretations are possible. We find that the late-time slopes of the DTD are different at the 1σ level for low and high stretch supernova, which suggest a single degenerate (SD) scenario for the latter. However, due to ambiguity in the current models’ DTD predictions, SD progenitors can neither be confirmed as causing high stretch supernovae nor ruled out from contributing to the overall sample.

ABSTRACT
The distribution of elements produced in the innermost layers of a supernova explosion is a key diagnostic for studying the collapse of massive stars. Here we present the results of a 2.4 Ms NuSTAR observing campaign aimed at studying the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). We perform spatially resolved spectroscopic analyses of the 44Ti ejecta, which we use to determine the Doppler shift and thus the three-dimensional (3D) velocities of the 44Ti ejecta. We find an initial 44Ti mass of (1.54 ± 0.21) × 10−4
M
⊙, which has a present-day average momentum direction of 340° ± 15° projected onto the plane of the sky (measured clockwise from celestial north) and is tilted by 58° ± 20° into the plane of the sky away from the observer, roughly opposite to the inferred direction of motion of the central compact object. We find some 44Ti ejecta that are clearly interior to the reverse shock and some that are clearly exterior to it. Where we observe 44Ti ejecta exterior to the reverse shock we also see shock-heated iron; however, there are regions where we see iron but do not observe 44Ti. This suggests that the local conditions of the supernova shock during explosive nucleosynthesis varied enough to suppress the production of 44Ti by at least a factor of two in some regions, even in regions that are assumed to be the result of processes like α-rich freezeout that should produce both iron and titanium.
SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTION MAPPING OF TWO ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES ON SUB-kpc SCALES
Authors: Amblard A. , Temi P. , Gaspari M. , Brighenti F. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
We use high-resolution Herschel-PACS data of two nearby elliptical galaxies, IC 1459 and NGC 2768, to characterize their dust and stellar content. IC 1459 and NGC 2768 have an unusually large amount of dust for elliptical galaxies ((1–3) × 105

); this dust is also not distributed along the stellar content. Using data from GALEX (ultra-violet) to PACS (far-infrared, FIR), we analyze the spectral energy distribution (SED) of these galaxies with CIGALEMC as a function of the projected position, binning images in 7.″2 pixels. From this analysis, we derive maps of SED parameters, such as the metallicity, the stellar mass, the fraction of young stars, and the dust mass. The larger amount of dust in FIR maps seems related in our model to a larger fraction of young stars which can reach up to 4% in the dustier area. The young stellar population is fitted as a recent (∼0.5 Gyr) short burst of star formation for both galaxies. The metallicities, which are fairly large at the center of both galaxies, decrease with the radial distance with a fairly steep gradient for elliptical galaxies.
THE OBSERVABLE SIGNATURES OF GRB COCOONS
Authors: Nakar Ehud , Piran Tsvi 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
As a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) jet propagates within the stellar atmosphere it creates a cocoon composed of an outer Newtonian shocked stellar material and an inner (possibly relativistic) shocked jet. The jet deposits

erg into this cocoon. This is comparable to the energies of the GRB and of the accompanying supernova, yet the cocoon’s signature has been largely ignored. The cocoon radiates a fraction of this energy as it expands, following the breakout from the star, and later as it interacts with the surrounding matter. We explore the possible signatures of this emission and outline a framework to calculate them from the conditions of the cocoon at the time of the jet breakout. The cocoon signature depends strongly on the, currently unknown, mixing between the shocked jet and shocked stellar material. With no mixing the γ-ray emission from the cocoon is so bright that it should have been already detected. The lack of such detections indicates that some mixing must take place. For partial and full mixing the expected signals are weaker than regular GRB afterglows. However, the latter are highly beamed while the former are wider. Future optical, UV, and X-ray transient searches, like LSST, ZTF, ULTRASAT, ISS-Lobster, and others, will most likely detect such signals, providing a wealth of information on the progenitors and jets of GRBs. While we focus on long GRBs, analogous (but weaker) cocoons may arise in short GRBs. Their signatures might be the most promising electromagnetic counterparts for gravitational wave signals from compact binary mergers.
POST-OUTBURST RADIO OBSERVATIONS OF THE HIGH MAGNETIC FIELD PULSAR PSR J1119-6127

Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
We have carried out high-frequency radio observations of the high magnetic field pulsar PSR J1119-6127 following its recent X-ray outburst. While initial observations showed no evidence of significant radio emission, subsequent observations detected pulsed emission across a large frequency band. In this Letter, we report on the initial disappearance of the pulsed emission and its prompt reactivation and dramatic evolution over several months of observation. The periodic pulse profile at S-band (2.3 GHz) after reactivation exhibits a multi-component emission structure, while the simultaneous X-band (8.4 GHz) profile shows a single emission peak. Single pulses were also detected at S-band near the main emission peaks. We present measurements of the spectral index across a wide frequency bandwidth, which captures the underlying changes in the radio emission profile of the neutron star. The high-frequency radio detection, unusual emission profile, and observed variability suggest similarities with magnetars, which may independently link the high-energy outbursts to magnetar-like behavior.
Mobilités, stratégies familiales et transformations du marché matrimonial au Vietnam
Authors: Bélanger Danièle , Nguyen Thi-Van 
Published: December 2016

Cet article étudie les transformations du marché matrimonial au Vietnam depuis le milieu des années 1990 dans le contexte d’une forte mobilité interne et internationale chez les jeunes femmes de certaines régions du pays. L’analyse met en évidence les processus d’élargissement de l’aire géographique matrimoniale qui ébranlent la valeur de l’endogamie sociale et villageoise. Ces tendances sont analysées en termes de stratégies familiales et individuelles, reconfigurant les rapports entre genres et générations. Le célibat forcé chez certains hommes, quant à lui, témoigne de l’émergence d’une classe de « laissés pour compte » représentant un monde rural devenu peu désirable. Le cadre d’analyse fait appel ici à des concepts proposés par Pierre Bourdieu. L’article repose sur un travail ethnographique effectué entre 2007 et 2012 dans deux provinces du Vietnam particulièrement affectées par l’émigration féminine due au mariage avec des étrangers d’Asie de l’Est. Des données quantitatives sur les districts et les communes étudiés sont aussi analysées.
Jésus ressuscité, le prophète plus grand que Moïse. Lecture de Jn 21,1-14
Authors: Monnier Patrick 
Published: December 2016

Jn 21 ne manque pas de surprendre. Considéré comme un ajout tardif de l’Évangile, son apport à la révélation christologique johannique est décisif. Ses 14 premiers versets se présentent comme une scène de reconnaissance, reconnaissance intradiégétique qui en appelle une autre, extradiégétique, de la part du lecteur. En regard de la promesse d’un prophète semblable à Moïse en Dt 18,18, dans une lecture globale de l’ensemble du 4e évangile, Jn 21,1-14 invite à reconnaître en Jésus le prophète plus grand que Moïse.

La Lettre aux familles écrite par Jean-Paul ii en 1994 mérite d’être étudiée aujourd’hui. Six clés de lecture sont ici fournies : la notion de personne et la communion de personnes ; la vie divine en l’homme et le don ; l’amour et l’éducation. Inspirées de la philosophie et de la théologie du saint pape polonais, elles montrent en quoi la civilisation de l’amour et la famille sont étroitement intriquées.
REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON MANAGEMENT OF ADULT FEMALE THALASSEMIA PATIEΝTS WITH HYPOGONADISM BASED ON LITERATURE REVIEW AND EXPERIENCE OF ICET-A NETWORK SPECIALISTS
Authors: De Sanctis Vincenzo 
Published: December 2016

Background: Multi-transfused thalassemia major (TM) patients frequently develop severe endocrine complications, mainly due to iron overload, anemia and chronic liver disease, which require prompt diagnosis, treatment and follow-up by specialists.The most common endocrine complication documented is hypogonadotropic hypogonadism which increases with age and associated comorbidities. It is thus important for physicians to have a clear understanding of the pathophysiology and management of this disorder. Also to be aware of the side effects, contraindications and monitoring of sex steroid therapy. In this paper practical ICET-A recommendations for the management of hypogonadism in adult females with TM are addressed.Methods: In March 2015, the Coordinator of the International Network of Clinicians for Endocrinopathies in Thalassemia and Adolescent Medicine (ICET-A) conducted a two-step survey to assess the attitudes and practices of doctors in the ICET-A network taking care of adult female TM patients with hypogonadism. They were clinically characterized by the absence of pubertal development, or discontinuation or regression of the maturation of secondary sex characteristics, and biochemically by persistent low FSH, LH and estradiol levels. Recently a supplementary survey on adult female hypogonadism in TM was undertaken within the ICET-A network.Results: The completed questionnaires were returned by 16 of 27 specialists (59.2%) following 590 female TM patients over the age of 18 years; 315 patients (53.3%) had hypogonadism and only 245 (74.6%) were on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Contraceptive oral pills (COC) were the first treatment choice in 11 centres (68.7%). A wide range of COCs were used with different progestin contents. In general, the patients’ compliance to treatment was reported as good in 81.2 % of centres. The frequency of required tests for follow-up HRT, in addition to the regular check-up for thalassemia, was variable in the participating centres.Conclusions: Doctors taking care of TM patients should have sound knowledge of the pathophysiology of hypogonadism in adult females with TM. They should know the potential effects of HRT including advantages and disadvantages of estrogen and progestins. Moreover, they should keep in consideration the emotional needs of these patients dreaming to attain a full pubertal development.Key words: Thalassemia, hypogonadism, hormone replacement therapy, benefits and disadvantages
ANTIBACTERIAL RESISTANCE IN PATIENTS WITH HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION
Authors: Akova Murat 
Published: December 2016

Recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at substantial risk of bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections depending on the time elapsed since transplantation, presence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and the degree of immunosuppression. Infectious complications in HSCT recipients are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Bacterial infections constitute the major cause of infectious complications, especially in the early post-transplant period. The emergence of antibacterial resistance complicates the management of bacterial infections in this patient group. Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in this group of patients have attracted considerable interest and may lead significant morbidity and mortality. Empirical antibacterial therapy in patients with HSCT and febrile neutropenia has a critical role in survival and should be based on local epidemiology. This review attempts to provide an overview of resistant bacterial infections in HSCT recipients. Keywords: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, antibacterial resistance, resistant bacterial infection.
