AbstractIn CH3NH3PbI3-based high efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs), tiny amount of PbI2 impurity was often found with the perovskite crystal. However, for two-step solution process-based perovskite films, most of findings have been based on the films having different morphologies between with and without PbI2. This was mainly due to the inferior morphology of pure perovskite film without PbI2, inevitably produced when the remaining PbI2 forced to be converted to perovskite, so advantages of pure perovskite photoactive layer without PbI2 impurity have been overlooked. In this work, we designed a printing-based two-step process, which could not only generate pure perovskite crystal without PbI2, but also provide uniform and full surface coverage perovskite film, of which nanoscale morphology was comparable to that prepared by conventional two-step solution process having residual PbI2. Our results showed that, in two-step solution process-based PSC, pure perovskite had better photon absorption and longer carrier lifetime, leading to superior photocurrent generation with higher power conversion efficiency. Furthermore, this process was further applicable to prepare mixed phase pure perovskite crystal without PbI2 impurity, and we showed that the additional merits such as extended absorption to longer wavelength, increased carrier lifetime and reduced carrier recombination could be secured.

AbstractPeroxiredoxin (PRX), a family of peroxidases, is associated with various biological processes such as the detoxification of oxidants and cell apoptosis. Besides, the anti-apoptosis effect of estrogen results partially from its anti-oxidant function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of PRXs in ovariectomy (OVX) mice and the related anti-oxidative mechanism of estrogen. Eight-week-old mice were subjected to ovariectomy. MC3T3-E1 cells were pretreatment with 17b-estradiol and N-acetyl cysteine followed by oxidative injury induced with H2O2. Western blot and real time-PCR were applied to clarify the expressions of PRX1 and caspase-3, with both wild-type and PRX1 knockout MC3T3-E1 cells generated by CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The results showed PRX1 and PRX5 were upregulated in osteoblasts in the proximal tibial metaphysis of ovariectomy mice. Interestingly, PRX1 and PRX5 showed different distribution patterns, with PRX1 mainly accumulated in cell nuclei and PRX5 in the cytoplasm. Gene expression analysis showed significantly reduced expressions of PRX1 and caspase-3 in the pretreatment groups when compared with cells treated with H2O2alone. Also, a decrease of caspase-3 expressions was observed in PRX1 knockout MC3T3-E1 cells with or without H2O2in comparison to wild-type cells. These findings suggested that PRX may play important roles in estrogen-deficient osteoporosis. (200 words).
Using Cognitive Screening Tests in Audiology
Authors: Shen Jing , Anderson Melinda C. , Arehart Kathryn H. , Souza Pamela E. 
Published: October 2016

Purpose
The population of the United States is aging. Those older adults are living longer than ever and have an increased desire for social participation. As a result, audiologists are likely to see an increased demand for service by older clients whose communication difficulty is caused by a combination of hearing loss and cognitive impairment. For these individuals, early detection of mild cognitive impairment is critical for providing timely medical intervention and social support.

Method
This tutorial provides information about cognition of older adults, mild cognitive impairment, and cognitive screening tests, with the purpose of assisting audiologists in identifying and appropriately referring potential cases of cognitive impairment.

Results
Topics addressed also include how to administer cognitive screening tests on individuals with hearing loss, how to use test results in audiology practice, and the potential of using cognitive screening tests for evaluating the benefit of clinical interventions.

Conclusions
As health care professionals who serve the aging population, audiologists are likely to encounter cases of undiagnosed cognitive impairment. In order to provide timely referral for medical assistance as well as an optimized individual outcome of audiologic interventions, audiologists should be trained to recognize an abnormality in older clients' cognitive status.
Fast motif matching revisited: high-order PWMs, SNPs and indels
Authors: Korhonen Janne H , Palin Kimmo , Taipale Jussi , Ukkonen Esko 
Published: October 2016

Abstract

Motivation
While the position weight matrix (PWM) is the most popular model for sequence motifs, there is growing evidence of the usefulness of more advanced models such as first-order Markov representations, and such models are also becoming available in well-known motif databases. There has been lots of research of how to learn these models from training data but the problem of predicting putative sites of the learned motifs by matching the model against new sequences has been given less attention. Moreover, motif site analysis is often concerned about how different variants in the sequence affect the sites. So far, though, the corresponding efficient software tools for motif matching have been lacking.

Results
We develop fast motif matching algorithms for the aforementioned tasks. First, we formalize a framework based on high-order position weight matrices for generic representation of motif models with dinucleotide or general q-mer dependencies, and adapt fast PWM matching algorithms to the high-order PWM framework. Second, we show how to incorporate different types of sequence variants, such as SNPs and indels, and their combined effects into efficient PWM matching workflows. Benchmark results show that our algorithms perform well in practice on genome-sized sequence sets and are for multiple motif search much faster than the basic sliding window algorithm.

Ida Lupino
Authors: Wager Jans 
Published: October 2016

In 1950, the director and actor Ida Lupino (b. 1914, London, England–d. 1995, Los Angeles, California) became the second woman, after Dorothy Arzner, admitted to the Directors Guild of America. She acted in over sixty-four films between 1932 and 1978. As an actor, Lupino was compared to Jean Harlow early in her career, and later identified herself as “the poor man’s Betty Davis,” since she was regularly offered roles that Davis, also under contract to Warner Brothers, refused. She started four production companies beginning in the late 1940s, including Arcadia and Emerald Productions, and later The Filmakers and Bridget Productions. She produced or coproduced at least twelve movies, scripted five, and directed seven feature films (one uncredited) between 1949 and 1953. She directed another, The Trouble with Angels, in 1966. As a director, she called herself “the poor man’s Don Siegel,” and was often identified as “the female Hitch.” Like Siegel, she directed hard-boiled and spare films; like Hitchcock, she capably created suspense and often implied violence but did not show it. Lupino acknowledged the influence of Italian neorealist filmmaking on her work, and in 1950 The Filmakers published a full-page “Declaration of Independents” in Variety to publicly assert their autonomy from mainstream Hollywood. She joined three other actors, David Niven, Dick Powell, and Charles Boyer, in Four Star Productions in 1953, which produced the Four Star Playhouse for CBS. She starred in nineteen Playhouse episodes, writing and performing in six episodes. She directed episodes for at least thirty-three television series from 1955 until 1969, including multiple shows for Have Gun, Will Travel; The Untouchables; Thriller; and Gilligan’s Island. She acted in over one hundred television shows from 1953 until 1977, half of those as the star along with her third husband, Howard Duff, in the popular series Mr. Adams and Eve. She and Duff produced the series through their company, Bridget Productions. Her prolificacy points to her proficiency, but perhaps also obscures Lupino’s remarkable contribution to film history in terms of independent film production, the postwar neorealist aesthetic in Hollywood, and television direction. The fact that she was a woman working behind the camera in the male-dominated entertainment industry makes the relative lack of attention to her oeuvre even more startling. Despite her productivity and skill, her film work has been disparaged as unexceptional and even anti-feminist, a disconcerting accusation given the misogyny implicit in the enforced containment of female agency in classical Hollywood. Ida Lupino’s remarkable output has gained more positive attention since the 1970s. Her work deserves and will reward assiduous reevaluation.

Published: October 2016

Purpose:
To assess the 2-year effectiveness of intravitreal ranibizumab combined with a dietary supplement rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plus antioxidants in 62 patients with diabetic macular edema.

Methods:
In a randomized single-blind controlled study, 33 subjects (42 eyes) received intravitreal ranibizumab alone and 29 (34 eyes) combined with DHA (1,050 mg/day). Monthly ranibizumab (0.5 mg) was given for the first 4 months followed by on as-needed treatment.

Results:
At 24 months, the difference between groups in the decrease of central subfield macular thickness was significant in favor of the DHA supplementation group (95% confidence interval of the difference 7.20–97.656; P = 0.024), although improvement in best-corrected visual acuity measured in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters did not reach statistical significance (95% confidence interval 5.4–11.2, P < 0.66). At 24 months, gains of >5 and >10 letters were significantly higher in the DHA supplementation group as compared with controls when the worse and better seeing eyes were considered but other differences at 12 months and 24 months were not found.

Conclusion:
Intravitreal ranibizumab combined with DHA supplementation reduced central subfield macular thickness after 2 years of follow-up as compared with ranibizumab alone in patients with diabetic macular edema. This anatomical improvement was accompanied by a trend for an amelioration of vision.
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma: Emerging Consent and Management Patterns among American and International Board Certified Plastic Surgeons
Authors: Pittman Troy A. , Fan Kenneth L. , Rudolph Megan A. 
Published: October 2016

Background:
Although literature and case reports regarding anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) continue to increase, changes in plastic surgery practice patterns have not been assessed.

Methods:
A 19-question survey was sent electronically to U.S. and international board-certified plastic surgeons. Data were analyzed using chi-square test and logistic regression analysis.

Results:
A total of 1383 surgeons (U.S., 715; international, 668) responded, at a rate of 13.5 percent, and 36.2 percent of U.S. physicians aspirate late seromas and send for cytologic analysis and 9.5 percent had personal experience with ALCL, equating to at least 193 self-reported cases. Overall, 26.9 percent discuss ALCL risk at the initial consultation every time, and 36.4 percent include ALCL in the informed consent. Compared to U.S. counterparts, Australian, French, and German physicians were five times as likely to include ALCL in consent. Physicians in an academic practice and those frequently (>40 percent) using textured implants were more likely to discuss ALCL in the preoperative consultation. Physicians with personal or colleague experience with ALCL were twice as likely to include ALCL in the consent process.

Conclusions:
Only one-third of surgeons are managing late seroma according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines. ALCL cases are likely being underreported. Collectively, plastic surgeons remain hesitant to change consent pattern. However, specific countries have adapted their consenting processes. Working in academia and frequent textured implant use makes one more likely to discuss ALCL in consultation. Personal or colleague experience makes one twice as likely to include ALCL in the consent.

Published: October 2016

Summary:
Despite the growing number of rhinoplasty procedures being performed on Indian patients, there is a very limited body of literature regarding nuances of the Indian rhinoplasty. The authors review the spectrum of nasal phenotypes that fall under the category of the Indian nose; goals of rhinoplasty in these patients; operative techniques that can be used to address them; and, importantly, the specific pitfalls to be avoided in these groups.
A New Species of Seedeater (Emberizidae:Sporophila) from the Iberá Grasslands, in Northeast Argentina
Authors: Di Giacomo Adrián S. , López-Lanús Bernabé , Kopuchian Cecilia 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACTWe describe a new species of capuchino of the genusSporophila(Emberizidae) of the Esteros del Iberá, province of Corrientes, in northeastern Argentina. This species would have remained unidentified due to lack of ornithological explorations in the central area of the Esteros del Iberá. It has been confused with immature individuals of otherSporophilaspecies. We made observations of behavior and habitat, playback experiments, comparative analyzes of the vocalizations and plumage with other sympatric species of the same genus, and we found this species, which we have namedSporophila iberaensis, inhabiting wet grasslands from the edges of the marshes, having a unique vocal repertoire and a unique plumage. Because of its restricted geographical distribution and the threats that have their habitat, this new species should be categorized as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
Intron-driven gene expression in the absence of a core promoter inArabidopsis thaliana
Authors: Gallegos Jenna E , Rose Alan B 
Published: October 2016

AbstractIn diverse eukaryotes, certain introns increase mRNA accumulation through the poorly understood mechanism of intron-mediated enhancement (IME). A distinguishing feature of IME is that these introns have no effect from upstream or more than 1 Kb downstream of the transcription start site (TSS). To more precisely define the intron position requirements for IME in Arabidopsis, we tested the effect of theUBQ10intron on gene expression from 6 different positions surrounding the TSS of aTRP1:GUSfusion. The intron strongly increased expression from all transcribed positions, but had no effect when 204 nt or more upstream of the 5’-most TSS. When the intron was located in the 5’ UTR, the TSS unexpectedly changed, resulting in longer transcripts. Remarkably, deleting 303 nt of the core promoter, including all known TSS’s and all but 18 nt of the 5’ UTR, had virtually no effect on the level of gene expression as long as a stimulating intron was included in the gene. When the core promoter was deleted, transcription initiated in normally untranscribed sequences the same distance upstream of the intron as when the promoter was intact. Together, these results suggest that certain introns play unexpectedly large roles in directing transcription initiation and represent a previously unrecognized type of downstream regulatory elements for genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II. This study also demonstrates considerable flexibility in the sequences surrounding the TSS, indicating that the TSS is not determined by promoter sequences alone. These findings are relevant in practical applications where introns are used to increase gene expression and contribute to our general understanding of gene structure and regulation in eukaryotes.
Visual field map clusters in human frontoparietal cortex
Authors: Mackey Wayne E. , Winawer Jonathan , Curtis Clayton E. 
Published: October 2016

SUMMARYThe visual neurosciences have made enormous progress in recent decades, in part because of the ability to drive visual areas by their sensory inputs, allowing researchers to reliably define visual areas across individuals and across species. Similar strategies for parceling higher-order cortex have proven elusive. Here, using a novel experimental task and nonlinear population receptive field modeling we map and characterize the topographic organization of several regions in human frontoparietal cortex. We discover maps of both polar angle and eccentricity that are organized into clusters, similar to visual cortex, where multiple maps of polar angle of the contralateral visual field share a confluent fovea. This is striking because neural activity in frontoparietal cortex is believed to reflect higher-order cognitive functions rather than external sensory processing. Perhaps the spatial topography in frontoparietal cortex parallels the retinotopic organization of sensory cortex to enable an efficient interface between perception and higher-order cognitive processes. Critically, these visual maps constitute well-defined anatomical units that future study of frontoparietal cortex can reliably target.

ABSTRACTSmall fly eyes should not see fine image details. Because flies exhibit saccadic visual behaviors and their compound eyes have relatively few ommatidia (sampling points), their photoreceptors would be expected to generate blurry and coarse retinal images of the world. Here we demonstrate thatDrosophilasee the world far better than predicted from the classic theories. By using electrophysiological, optical and behavioral assays, we found that R1-R6 photoreceptors’ encoding capacityin timeis maximized to fast high-contrast bursts, which resemble their light input during saccadic behaviors. Whilstover space, R1-R6s resolve moving objects at saccadic speeds beyond the predicted motion-blur-limit. Our results show how refractory phototransduction and rapid photomechanical photoreceptor contractions jointly sharpen retinal images of moving objectsin space-time, enabling hyperacute vision, and explain how such microsaccadic information sampling exceeds the compound eyes’ optical limits. These discoveries elucidate how acuity depends upon photoreceptor function and eye movements.
The Teflon effect: when the glass slipper meets merit
Authors: Simpson Ruth , Kumra Savita 
Published: October 2016

PurposeThis paper aims to draw on Ashcraft’s (2013) metaphor of the “glass slipper” (which highlights the need for alignment between occupational identity and embodied social identities of workers) to show how merit may not adhere to individuals when social identity in the form of gender, race or class fails to fit the definition and perceived characteristics of the job.Design/methodology/approachThis is a conceptual paper.FindingsThis study develops the notion of the Teflon effect to describe the way merit may go unrecognised and may therefore not “stick” to the bodies of women in management and leadership roles.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides an explanation for the persistence of the glass ceiling and the barriers women face as they undertake or aspire to management and/or leadership positions in organisations.Practical implicationsThis study introduces a more embodied notion of merit which relies on both performance and recognition to “take effect”. Professionals must see beyond “objective” measures of merit in performance reviews and/or in recruitment and promotion decisions to include reflection on the significance of merit’s subjective, “performed” dimensions.Social implicationsThis study adds to understandings of women’s positioning in organisations.Originality/valueThis study develops the notion of the Teflon effect. This highlights the significance of the recognition, performance and embodiment of merit and how merit may fail to adhere to the bodies of women in management and leadership roles.
The contaminated land regime and austerity
Authors: Brown Lloyd Andrew 
Published: October 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the remediation of contaminated land has been damaged, perhaps immeasurably, in a period of devastating and crushing austerity.

Design/methodology/approach
A legal doctrinal and regulatory analysis of the contaminated land regime under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) 1990 was used to investigate the extent to which austerity changes have affected future contaminated land identification and remediation.

Findings
Austerity changes have impacted upon Part 2A of the EPA 1990, the planning system and development incentives. The recent changes are going to contribute to the problem of the under-resourcing of local authorities and are likely to reduce voluntary remediation by developers. As a result, future contaminated land clean-up is going to decrease.

Originality/value
Originality/value is assured because, as far as the author is aware, there is no other literature in this research area dealing specifically with the coalition’s adverse impact on Part 2A; this paper fills the knowledge gap that existed in the research field.
