Thermodynamic effects after Diode and Er:YAG laser irradiation of grade IV and V titanium implants placed in bone – an ex vivo study. Preliminary report
Authors: Matys Jacek , Botzenhart Ute , Gedrange Tomasz , Dominiak Marzena 
Published: March 2016

AbstractMany inserted implants are affected by peri-implantitis. The aim of our study was to evaluate increases in implant temperature, depending on the diameter and chemical composition of implants. In particular we measured the time it takes for the temperature of an implant to rise by 10°C and evaluated laser power settings required to prevent thermal injury when an implant surface is decontaminated during the treatment of peri-implantitis. The study analysed six implants placed in porcine ribs and divided into two groups according to their diameter and chemical composition (grade IV and grade V titanium). The implants were irradiated with Diode and Er:YAG lasers using different laser parameters. The temperature was measured with a K-type thermocouple. The temperature on the implant surface rose as the laser power increased and the implant diameter decreased. The time required to increase the temperature of an implant by 10°C was less than it was for titanium grade IV. The temperature gradient was below 10°C for all implants treated using a laser power up to 1 W. It is important to choose the correct laser parameters, depending on the chemical composition and diameter of the implant, so that decontamination of the implant surface is thorough, effective and safe.
Thoracoschisis secondary to a mesenchymal hamartoma associated with diaphragmatic eventration

Published: March 2016

Abstract
Thoracoschisis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly associated with limb body wall defect and diaphragmatic hernia. We describe a case of a female infant who was noted at birth to have tissue coming through a left sided thoracic defect next to an accessory nipple. The stomach bubble was displaced superiorly on radiographs. At surgery the tissue was attached to the left lateral lobe of the liver and was protruding through the chest wall via an intercostal defect below an eventrated diaphragm. The tissue was resected and the defect closed. Pathological examination was consistent with a mesenchymal hamartoma. The diaphragm may have formed abnormally in this case due to the presence of the mesenchymal hamartoma in this location.

2B8O15 (RE = La, Pr, Nd) – syntheses of three new rare earth borates isotypic to Ce2B8O15
Authors: Glätzle Matthias , Hoerder Gregor J. , Huppertz Hubert 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
The rare earth borates RE
2B8O15 (RE = La, Pr, Nd) were synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus under conditions of 5.5 GPa and 1100 °C. Starting from the corresponding rare earth oxides and boron oxide, the syntheses yielded crystalline products of all new compounds that allowed crystal structure analyses based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for La2B8O15 and Nd2B8O15. The compound Pr2B8O15 could be characterized via X-ray powder diffractometry. The results show that the new compounds crystallize isotypically to Ce2B8O15 in the monoclinic space group P2/c. The infrared spectra of RE
2B8O15 (RE = La, Pr, Nd) have also been studied.
Theologians, War, and the Universities: Early English interpretations of the “Manifesto of the Ninety-Three”, 1914–15
Authors: Inman Daniel D. 
Published: March 2016

AbstractFrom von Harnack’s speech-writing for Kaiser Wilhelm II to the ‘Manifesto of the Ninety-Three’, theologians played an important role in justifying the defence of Kultur in the early stages of the First World War. This paper uses the war-pamphlet collection of William Sanday in the library of The Queen’s College to explore how English - and particularly Oxford - theologians responded to, and publically justified, British involvement in the war. Asserting that Oxford theologians were hesitantly nationalist by comparison with their German colleagues, this paper suggests that this dissimilarity cannot be explained purely by reference to the intellectual - some said, Nietzschean - arrogance of German theological liberals. Rather, the more cautious relationship of theologians in Britain to political and wider ecclesiastical discourse can, to some degree, be viewed through the lens of significant institutional differences between German and British theological faculties at the outbreak of the war.
A Pathway Analysis of Melanin Patterning in a Hemimetabolous Insect
Authors: Liu Jin , Lemonds Thomas R , Marden James H , Popadić Aleksandar 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Diversity in insect pigmentation, encompassing a wide range of colors and spatial patterns, is among the most noticeable features distinguishing species, individuals, and body regions within individuals. In holometabolous species, a significant portion of such diversity can be attributed to the melanin synthesis genes, but this has not been formally assessed in more basal insect lineages. Here we provide a comprehensive analysis of how a set of melanin genes (ebony, black, aaNAT, yellow, and tan) contributes to the pigmentation pattern in a hemipteran, Oncopeltus fasciatus. For all five genes, RNA interference depletion caused alteration of black patterning in a region-specific fashion. Furthermore, the presence of distinct nonblack regions in forewings and hindwings coincides with the expression of ebony and aaNAT in these appendages. These findings suggest that the region-specific phenotypes arise from regional employment of various combinations of the melanin genes. Based on this insight, we suggest that melanin genes are used in two distinct ways: a “painting” mode, using predominantly melanin-promoting factors in areas that generally lack black coloration, and, alternatively, an “erasing” mode, using mainly melanin-suppressing factors in regions where black is the dominant pigment. Different combinations of these strategies may account for the vast diversity of melanin patterns observed in insects.
Youth-Adult Partnership: A New Way Forward for Greater Muslim Youth Participation in Schools and Communities
Authors: Krauss Steven Eric 
Published: March 2016

Young people in Muslim majority countries are a valuable asset and investing in them can bring tremendous social and economic benefits. They also face many challenges that undermine their ability to develop and contribute to society. To make the most of the opportunity, these countries must find ways to increase the human and social capital of their respective youth populations. Youth participation in formal and non-formal educational settings such as schools and community programs has been identified as an effective approach to enhancing young people’s experiences. Building on initial findings from Malaysia, the current paper puts forth the concept of youth-adult partnership (Y-AP) as a strategy for schools. Y-AP has been shown to enhance personal agency, empowerment and connection to community, three attributes that are critical for Muslim youth to play more substantive roles in national development. The paper further attempts to frame Y-AP within an Islamic socio-historical lens, drawing on examples from the Prophet Muhammad SAW and the early Muslim community to show how developmental relationships were central to the social and educational culture within the Prophet’s community.

This article was written for the anxiety of the phenomenon of the rise of the idea of ​​democracy as if change is to be erratic form of government, not driven by reason and rational needs. That since its inception, the idea of ​​democracy increasingly widespread after experiencing various historical events, especially when the formulation of the American Constitution in 1776 and the French Revolution of 1789. The democratic system is becoming more popular among followers of republicanism and is a critique of the dominance of the monarchy system in Europe. Nowadays, democracy can be seen as a ‘product’ as that term is defined previously as a ‘source of power’ rather than as ‘a method of governance’. Despite modern democracy is a complex device, but logic is expressed seem to contain a single principles. That democracy contains elements of popular participation, majority rule, minority protection, individual freedom, freedom guaranteed by law, participation in policy formulation at all levels, as well as equality. However, democracy is not without flaws, both conceptually mapun practice, given the many democracies that do not accommodate the interests of the sovereignty of the environment (ecocracy).

This article provides an theoretical overview of the internalization of democratic values in the school culture. The concept of democratic values in school culture obtained through study of literature. Democratic values considered important for the student as early as possible. Through the school culture, democratic values will be effectively internalized. These value aren’t theoretical, but the values of democratic is implemented in the life of the school with school culture. School culture is interpreted as the norm; value; school rules that are binding on the entire school community. Democratic values that can be applied at schools such as transparency, resolve the issue peacefully, regularly class elections management, acknowledging the diversity in the schools, and so on.

POLITIK PENYEDERHANAAN SISTEM KEPARTAIAN DI INDONESIA PASCA REFORMASI 1998
Authors: Sutisna Agus 
Published: March 2016

Since the 1999 elections electoral democracy Indonesia is marked by drastic changes in the party system implementation, from simple multi-party system in the New Order era to the extreme multiparty system. Judging from the election as the most massive space is provided to facilitate the political participation of the people, multiparty phenomenon is certainly a sign that democracy was growing. But in terms of the need to realize the importance of a stable and effective government, multiparty phenomenon is actually not a wise choice. Scott Mainwaring comparison study results conclude that the application of a multi-party system with a presidential system is a bad combination. That is why since the 2004 elections simplification efforts of party system in Indonesia is done through various policy strategy. This paper is a study about the application of extreme multiparty system and its impact on the election, the behavior of political parties in Parliament, and the relation of Parliament-President; and political strategy or policy simplification of party system that has been taken in Indonesia after the reform to realize a simple multiparty system.

Published: March 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Bevacizumab intravitreal injection, a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor, is used to treat retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). However, concerns have been raised regarding its systemic absorption and effect on developing tissues including brain. This study compared neurodevelopment at 18 months’ corrected age in preterm infants of &lt;29 weeks’ gestation treated with bevacizumab versus laser ablation.

METHODS:
Data from the Canadian Neonatal Network and the Canadian Neonatal Follow-Up Network databases were retrospectively reviewed. Infants born at &lt;29 weeks’ in 2010–2011 with treated ROP were studied. Neurodevelopmental outcome at 18 months was assessed by using neurologic examination and the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development Third Edition. Regression analyses were performed.

RESULTS:
Of 125 treated infants, 27 received bevacizumab and 98 laser. The bevacizumab group, compared with laser, obtained a median Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development Third Edition motor composite score of 81 (interquartile range, 70–91) versus 88 (79–97), a language composite score of 79 (65–97) versus 89 (74–97), and a cognitive score of 90 (80–100) versus 90 (85–100). Difference was detected on the motor score only (P = .02). Odds of severe neurodevelopmental disabilities (Bayley scores &lt;70, severe cerebral palsy, hearing aids, or bilateral blindness) was 3.1 times higher (95% confidence interval: 1.2–8.4) in infants treated with bevacizumab versus laser after adjusting for gestational age, gender, maternal education, Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology-II score, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, sepsis, and severe brain injury.

CONCLUSIONS:
Preterm infants treated with bevacizumab versus laser had higher odds of severe neurodevelopmental disabilities. Further investigation on the long-term safety of antivascular endothelial growth factor treatment of ROP is needed.

Abstract

Lessons Learned
Cardiotoxicity can be a serious complication of anticancer therapies. To enable earlier identification of drug-related cardiac effects, the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) adopted the ICH E14 Guidelines for evaluating the potential for QT/corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation and proarrhythmic potential for nonantiarrhythmic drugs. The results of the evaluation of ramucirumab on the QT/QTc interval show a lack of effect on QTc prolongation in patients with advanced cancer.

Background.
Ramucirumab is a human immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody that specifically blocks vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 and is approved for the treatment of advanced gastric, non-small cell lung, and colorectal cancers. This phase II study was conducted to determine if treatment with ramucirumab causes prolongation of the corrected QT interval using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) in patients with advanced cancer.

Methods.
Patients received intravenous ramucirumab (10 mg/kg) every 21 days for 3 cycles. The first 16 patients received moxifloxacin (400 mg orally), an antibiotic associated with mild QT prolongation as a positive control. During cycle 3, determination of QTcF prolongation was made with triplicate electrocardiograms at multiple time points to compare with baseline.

Results.
Sixty-six patients received therapy; 51 patients completed 9 or more weeks of therapy for the complete QTcF evaluation period. The upper limit of the 90% two-sided confidence intervals for the least square means of change in QTcF from baseline at each time point was less than 10 milliseconds. Concentration-QTcF analysis showed a visible, but not significant, negative association between ramucirumab concentration and QTcF change from baseline.

Conclusion.
Ramucirumab at a dose of 10 mg/kg administered every 21 days for 3 cycles did not produce a statistically or clinically significant prolongation of QTcF.

Foreign National Doctoral Students In U.S. Economics Programs
Authors: Baker Joe G. , Finn Michael G. 
Published: March 2016

This paper examines why enrollment of foreign national students in U.S. economics graduate programs increased so dramatically since the 1960s. New information regarding the “stay rates” of foreign national students is examined. The paper concludes that growth in the number of foreign national economics graduate students was related to the quality of U.S. graduate programs, growth in foreign social science baccalaureate degree awards, growing foreign incomes, and movement of foreign economies towards markets. These trends were especially pronounced in Asia, where most foreign national economics students are from.
Measuring And Changing The Values Of Accounting Students
Authors: Akers Michael , Eaton Tim V. , Giacomino Don E. 
Published: March 2016

Although prior research has consistently shown that personal values influence behavior, limited research and curricular activity have been conducted with respect to the role of personal values in accounting. This purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology that accounting programs can use to measure the personal values of students. Specifically, we examine the Muser and Orke Typology for measuring personal values. Using students from a comprehensive, private university in the Midwest, we discuss the administration of the instrument and the evaluation of the results. The paper concludes with a detailed description of how accounting programs can apply this methodology to change students’ values toward a desired goal.
Application Of White-Collar Crime Research To Academic Fraud: A Focus On Rationalizations Of Accounting Students
Authors: Peterson Bonita K. 
Published: March 2016

This study examines rationalizations of academic fraud by presenting three nonfictional scenarios of questionable academic behavior to accounting students. The students were asked to categorize the behaviors as acceptable or unacceptable. Further, the students were asked to explain their reasonings, or rationalizations, an element found to be necessary for fraud to exist. Results find that if the student had already experienced or was close to experiencing the scenario, they were more likely to view the questionable behavior as acceptable. Further, results indicate that many students will fault the professor for unacceptable student behavior, but they generated many additional rationalizations as well. These findings have implications for faculty actions in the classroom.
