The growth of suicide ideation, plan and attempt among young adults in the Mexico City metropolitan area
Authors: Borges G. , Benjet C. , Orozco R. , Medina-Mora M-E. 
Published: August 2016

Aims.Low and middle income countries share a heavy burden of suicide with about three in every four suicides occurring in these countries. Mexico has witnessed a growing trend in suicide deaths; if this trend is not simply a reflection of better reporting of suicide on death certificates, then this increase should logically be accompanied by an increasing trend in suicide ideation, plan and attempts, but we lack information on the trends for suicide ideation, plan and attempt for this period. We therefore aim to report changes for suicidal behaviour for the period 2001–2013 in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area.Method.Using two cross-sectional surveys conducted in Mexico in 2001 and 2013, we report the lifetime and 12-month prevalence of suicide ideation, plan and attempt and changes in treatment for these problems among respondents aged 19–26 living in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area 12 years apart. To estimate the changes in prevalence for each outcome, we used generalised linear models to calculate prevalence ratios (PR; the prevalence rate in the exposed (year 2013) divided by the prevalence rate in the unexposed (year 2001–2002), adjusting for sociodemographic variables.Results.While increases in the prevalence are noted everywhere, statistical comparisons only found differences for lifetime ideation (PR = 3.1; 95% CI = 1.7–5.8) and a borderline difference for suicide attempt (PR = 2.2; 95% CI = 1.0–4.9). No attempt within the last 12-months was reported in 2001, but the prevalence in 2013 reached 1.5% (18 cases). While PRs for 12-month prevalence were all above the null, none reached statistically significant differences. During this 12-year period, the distribution of mental disorders and the use of services for mental disorders among suicide ideators, planners and attempters did not change in any noticeable way.Conclusions.The limitations of our data are the small number of participants in the 2001 survey, the low follow-up rate for the survey in 2013 and that while representative from one city it does not represent the whole country. These findings suggest that suicide ideation and attempt may have increased during this 12-year period in the Mexico City metropolitan area, but this increase did not lead to more use of mental health care services. This information, coupled with the long-term trend of increasing suicide death rates in the country, draw a worrisome and neglected scenario for our youth in this region. Urgent measures, following the recent WHO guidelines for suicide prevention, must not be postponed.

AbstractTemporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) can develop from alterations in hippocampal structure and circuit characteristics, and can be modeled in mice by administration of kainic acid (KA). Adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus (DG) contributes to hippocampal functions and has been reported to contribute to the development of TLE. Some of the phenotypical changes include neural stem and precursor cells (NPSC) apoptosis, shortly after their birth, before they produce hippocampal neurons. Here we explored these early phenotypical changes in the DG 3 days after a systemic injection of KA inducing status epilepticus (KA-SE), in mice. We performed a multi-omics experimental setup and analyzed DG tissue samples using proteomics, transcriptomics and microRNA profiling techniques, detecting the expression of 2327 proteins, 13401 mRNAs and 311 microRNAs. We here present a description of how these data were obtained and make them available for further analysis and validation. Our data may help to further identify and characterize molecular mechanisms involved in the alterations induced shortly after KA-SE in the mouse DG.
STARs in the CNS
Authors: Ehrmann Ingrid , Fort Philippe , Elliott David J. 
Published: August 2016

STAR (signal transduction and activation of RNA) proteins regulate splicing of target genes that have roles in neural connectivity, survival and myelination in the vertebrate nervous system. These regulated splicing targets include mRNAs such as the Neurexins (Nrxn), SMN2 (survival of motor neuron) and MAG (myelin-associated glycoprotein). Recent work has made it possible to identify and validate STAR protein splicing targets in vivo by using genetically modified mouse models. In this review, we will discuss the importance of STAR protein splicing targets in the CNS (central nervous system).
The relation of gesture to thought and language
Authors: Christy T. Craig 
Published: August 2016

The relationship between gesture and language has typically been theorized in terms of gesture preceding language along a continuum of evolving symbolization. Recent research in cognitive science and allied fields suggests that, from the beginning, gesture has figured constitutively, along with vocalization, in the communicative process, as it continues to do. This evolved symbiotic relationship between vocalization and co-speech gestures, constructed atop a common neural network and marked by emergent properties, figures in the representation, processing, and transformation of thought – in the embodiment of cognition – and provides an infrastructure for action understanding, for reading the intentions of others.
Anton Marty’s philosophy of language and his dialogue with linguists
Authors: Raynaud Savina 
Published: August 2016

Marty (1847–1914), a Swiss pupil of the philosopher Franz Brentano, was called to the German University in Prague in 1880. According to Brentano’s ‘empirical standpoint’, he devoted a great deal of his philosophy of language to descriptive semasiology. His model intertwines general grammar, logic and psychology. Two case studies are considered: the theory of judgment vs. sentences without subjects, and the theory of relationships vs. case theories. He wishes to establish agreement with linguists he feels close to, both because of their knowledge of linguistic facts and rules and because they, too, are keen on the enquiry regarding language functions and invariant structures – which remains a desirable objective.
The Effects of a Transition Diet on the Smoltification of Chinook Salmon
Authors: Hanson Kyle C , Twibell Ronald G , Glenn Richard A , Barron James M , Gannam Ann L 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Transition diets, often supplemented with salt and other additives, have been used to prepare Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. being moved directly from freshwater to saltwater net pens for aquaculture production. However, the use of transition diets to prepare hatchery-reared salmon released into freshwater prior to out-migration to the ocean has shown mixed results. We compared the physiological (size, condition factor, Na+,K+-ATPase [NKA] enzyme activity, survival during a saltwater challenge) and nutritional (proximate composition, fatty acid profile) condition of juvenile Chinook Salmon O. tshawytscha that were fed either a standard hatchery feed or a commercially available transition diet for the final 6 weeks of hatchery rearing to determine whether the transition diet altered smolt condition. At release, NKA activity of fish fed the transition diet was higher than that of fish fed the control diet, though survival during a saltwater challenge was similar between groups. Differences were seen in the proximate composition of the fish, with increased total body moisture and decreased lipid in the fish fed the transition diet relative to fish fed the control diet. Whole-body fatty acid composition of fish was similar to the fatty acid composition of the feeds in both groups, though some key whole-body fatty acids did not follow this trend. Palmitic acid (16:0), linoleic acid (18:2[n-6]), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5[n-3]), and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6[n-3]) varied between prefeeding trial samples and fish fed the two diets. Further research is required to determine whether the physiological changes that occurred are related to smoltification or the maintenance of osmotic balance while fish are fed additional salt.
Effect of Paternal Blue Catfish Strain Effects on Hatchery Fry Production and Performance of Channel Catfish × Blue Catfish F1 Hybrid Fry Production and Fingerling Performance Under Commercial Conditions
Authors: Chatakondi Nagaraj G , Yant Roger D , Dunham Rex A 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This study examined the influence of strain of sire on hybrid catfish embryo production and performance of fingerlings under commercial conditions. Four hundred 4-year-old female Gold Kist strain Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus were induced to spawn in eight spawning trials. The stripped eggs were fertilized with the sperm of either D&B or Rio Grande Blue Catfish I. furcatus to produce D&B or Rio Grande hybrid catfish embryos. Testes weight (g/kg body weight [BW]) was higher in Rio Grande (1.98 ± 0.28 g/kg BW) than in D&B (1.02 ± 0.12 g/kg BW) Blue Catfish males. Hatching parameters between Rio Grande and D&B hybrids did not differ. Approximately 100,000 hybrid catfish fry produced from each spawning trial were stocked in an individual 0.4-ha pond to raise fingerlings. Four ponds of D&B and four ponds of Rio Grande hybrids were stocked in eight ponds of identical conditions at the same time. The mean individual BW of D&B hybrid fingerlings (38.5 g) was higher than that of Rio Grande hybrid fingerlings (32.5 g) at 9 months of age. Mean survival (99.3%), production (8,875 kg/ha), and feed conversion (1.14) of D&B hybrid catfish fingerlings were superior to Rio Grande hybrid catfish fingerling survival (92.1%), production (7,664 kg/ha), and feed conversion (1.23), the catfish being raised in replicated earthen ponds under farm conditions. While the D&B strain of sire improved the performance of hybrid catfish fingerlings, it had minimal influence on hybrid catfish fry production.
Extrusion Temperature and Pellet Size Interact to Influence Growth Performance of Hybrid Striped Bass Fed Industrially Compounded Aquafeeds
Authors: Bowzer John , Page Michael , Trushenski Jesse T 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The objective of this experiment was to jointly assess the possible influences of aquafeed extrusion temperature and pellet size and uniformity on growth performance of juvenile hybrid Striped Bass (White Bass Morone chrysops × Striped Bass M. saxatilis). A diet formulated to meet or exceed the nutritional requirements of hybrid Striped Bass was coupled with different feed manufacturing strategies to yield a range of compositionally identical but physically distinct feeds. Batches of feed were extruded at 107 ± 6°C or 127 ± 3°C through dies estimated to yield pellets that were “small” (3 mm), “recommended” (4 mm), or “large” (5 mm) relative to the size ranges suggested for the target fish size. Portions of the uniformly small and large feeds were combined (25:75, 50:50, and 75:25 ratios of small : large pellets) to create additional mixed-sized feeds. Fish were stocked in a recirculating aquaculture system (fish size: 19.6 ± 0.7 g [mean ± SE]; 10 fish/tank) comprising thirty-six 119-L circular tanks, mechanical and biological filtration units, and a supplemental aeration system. Feeds were randomly assigned to triplicate tanks of fish (N = 3), and fish were fed to apparent satiation once daily for 8 weeks. Results indicated that extrusion temperature and, to a lesser extent, pellet size and uniformity affect the practical feeding value of hybrid Striped Bass feed. Although the effects were observed to be interactive and somewhat variable, there appears to be value in extruding the formulation tested at higher temperatures and producing uniform pellets of a size somewhat larger than is typically recommended for phase II hybrid Striped Bass.
Effects of Dietary Protein Concentrations and Sources on Production Characteristics of Pond-Raised Hybrid Catfish Fingerlings
Authors: Li Menghe H , Wise David J , Mischke Charles C , Lucas Penelope M 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
A 2 × 2 factorial experiment was conducted to examine the growth performance of pond-raised hybrid catfish (female Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus × male Blue Catfish I. furcatus) fingerlings fed diets containing two levels of protein (35% or 32%) with two animal protein sources (fish meal or porcine meat, bone, and blood meal [PMBB]). Small hybrid catfish fingerlings with a mean initial weight of 2.0 g/fish (SD = 0.6) were stocked into 20 earthen ponds (0.04 ha) at a density of approximately 172,970 fish/ha, based on a sample count of 1,000 fish. The fish were fed once daily to apparent satiation for 113 d. Total weight of feed fed, gross yield, feed conversion ratio (FCR), condition factor, and observed mortality were not significantly affected by either dietary protein concentration or animal protein source. Results demonstrate that dietary protein levels can be reduced from 35% to 32% without compromising fish growth and FCR for hybrid catfish fingerlings raised from 2 to 71 g in a growing season. Porcine meat, bone, and blood meal may completely replace fish meal in the diet. At current feed prices, a 32% protein diet with PMBB can provide considerable savings compared with the 35% protein diet with fish meal that is now used in commercial hybrid catfish fingerling production.
climwin: An R Toolbox for Climate Window Analysis
Authors: Bailey Liam D. , van de Pol Martijn 
Published: August 2016

AbstractWhen studying the impacts of climate change, there is a tendency to select climate data from a small set of arbitrary time periods or climate windows (e.g., spring temperature). However, these arbitrary windows may not encompass the strongest periods of climatic sensitivity and may lead to erroneous biological interpretations. Therefore, there is a need to consider a wider range of climate windows to better predict the impacts of future climate change. We introduce the R packageclimwinthat provides a number of methods to test the effect of different climate windows on a chosen response variable and compare these windows to identify potential climate signals.climwinextracts the relevant data for each possible climate window and uses this data to fit a statistical model, the structure of which is chosen by the user. Models are then compared using an information criteria approach. This allows users to determine how well each window explains variation in the response variable and compare model support between windows.climwinalso contains methods to detect type I and II errors, which are often a problem with this type of exploratory analysis. This article presents the statistical framework and technical details behind theclimwinpackage and demonstrates the applicability of the method with a number of worked examples.

Findings
Some GLAM organizations are attempting crowdfunding projects with varied levels of success, whereas others remain unsure but curious. The case study shares one academic library’s direct experience with crowdfunding.

Research limitations/implications
There is little research currently available related to library use of crowdfunding.

Practical implications
This paper provides a resource and research starting point for GLAM organizations interested in the crowdfunding model.

Originality/value
In a comprehensive manner, this article provides much needed research on the current state of crowdfunding as it pertains to GLAM organizations.
Stress of underworked and overpaid
Authors: Beal Brian 
Published: August 2016

Purpose
Frequent absences from work can be highly disruptive, while also potentially indicating problematic working conditions that can lead to increased withdrawal behavior. The purpose of this paper is to test the predictive capability of an expanded effort-reward imbalance model on employee absenteeism within the context of policing.

Design/methodology/approach
Three separate reward systems are identified by the effort-reward imbalance model. In this study, the authors assessed these individual components for their contribution to officer withdrawal behavior in the form of absenteeism frequency. Data were gathered from officers within a large Australian police agency.

Findings
Findings indicate that there was a strong influence of social rewards, such as social support and recognition in the workplace on officer absenteeism rates. Low workload was associated with a higher frequency of absenteeism, suggesting a potential underloading effect. There were a number of significant interactions providing support for the effort-reward imbalance mechanism and the separation of the reward construct. Security rewards were particularly influential and significantly moderated the relationship between effort and absenteeism.

Originality/value
This paper considers an expanded model of worker strain and contributes a longitudinal assessment of the association between perceived effort and reward systems and worker absenteeism.
Jordanian perspectives on the disabled at work
Authors: Wheatcroft John 
Published: August 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to explore attitudes of disabled employees towards their work in the Jordanian public sector, including facilities, the way that they are treated by other employees and working conditions.

Design/methodology/approach
A sample of disabled public sector employees was selected to participate in the study by filling in a questionnaire. The response rate was very high.

Findings
Contrary to some previous studies elsewhere, disabled employees reported a relatively moderate level of satisfaction about the availability of facilities. They were also satisfied with the treatment by their supervisors and colleagues and with the working conditions. Disabled female participants and those who hold graduate degrees reported high satisfaction levels.

Originality/value
This is one of the first studies to investigate the status of disabled public sector employees in Jordan and in the Arab world.
Why firms should develop women professionals: organizational support, growth and retention
Authors: Cole Graham 
Published: August 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings
A company's most valuable resource is its human capital. This fact is widely acknowledged. Talent retention should, therefore, be high on the agenda for any business hoping to enjoy sustainable success. It is crucially important to identify gifted individuals and nurture them in preparation for top management positions in the future. The present time is supposedly one where equality is greater than ever before. Reality is somewhat different though. Some things remain much more equal than others. Take company leadership, for instance. In many organizations, these roles are predominantly filled by men. Women are at best a minor presence.

Practical implications
The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.

Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
Earnings management by top Chinese listed firms in response to the global financial crisis
Authors: Xu Guanglu (Luke) , Ji Xudong 
Published: August 2016

Purpose
The main aim of this study was to examine the earnings management behaviours, including both accrual-based and cash flow-based earnings management, of Chinese firms during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).

Design/methodology/approach
A data set of 1,392 firm-year observations derived from a large sample of China's top listed firms (based on total assets) was constructed and investigated via univariate and ordinary least squares regression analyses.

Findings
Two distinct conclusions can be drawn from the results of the study. First, the top Chinese listed firms did engage in earnings management, as indicated by comparisons of the means of the absolute values of both accrual-based and cash flow-based earnings management indicators in the periods before and after 2008 when the GFC started. Second, investigation of earnings management directions revealed that in response to the GFC, the firms from construction-related industries and the airline industry manipulated earnings upwards through either accrual-based and/or cash flow-based earnings management activities. On the other hand, firms in the household durables industry engaged in earnings-reducing activities. These findings reflect the effect of the stimulus package launched by the Chinese Government in an effort to combat the GFC. In addition, the results indicate that firm characteristics such as size, leverage, profitability and growth affected the earnings management behaviours of the firms analysed in the study.

Originality/value
The empirically derived findings of this study contribute to the literature pertaining to the effects of the GFC on earnings management practices in China, which has remained relatively scant to date.
