Cooperative privacy game: a novel strategy for preserving privacy in data publishing
Authors: Kumari Valli , Chakravarthy Srinivasa 
Published: July 2016

AbstractAchieving data privacy before publishing has been becoming an extreme concern of researchers, individuals and service providers. A novel methodology, Cooperative Privacy Game (CoPG), has been proposed to achieve data privacy in which Cooperative Game Theory is used to achieve the privacy and is named as Cooperative Privacy (CoP). The core idea ofCoPis to play the best strategy for a player to preserve his privacy by himself which in turn contributes to preserving other players privacy.CoPconsiders each tuple as a player and tuples form coalitions as described in the procedure. The main objective of theCoPis to obtain individuals (player) privacy as a goal that is rationally interested in other individuals’ (players) privacy.CoPis formally defined in terms of Nash equilibria, i.e., all the players are in their best coalition, to achievek-anonymity. The cooperative values of the each tuple are measured using the characteristic function of theCoPGto identify the coalitions. As the underlying game is convex; the algorithm is efficient and yields high quality coalition formation with respect to intensity and disperse. The efficiency of anonymization process is calculated using information loss metric. The variations of the information loss with the parameters$$\alpha$$α(weight factor of nearness) and$$\beta$$β(multiplicity) are analyzed and the obtained results are discussed.

The beginning of the end of prohibition: the politics of drug addiction
Authors: Luty Jason 
Published: July 2016

SummaryMisuse of drugs such as opium, cocaine and cannabis was common around the world before the First World War and it provided a valuable market for the colonial powers. There seems to have been a brief period of sobriety between the two World Wars, along with widespread criminalisation of drug dealing and use, followed by an explosion of the illicit drug market and the hugely expensive US-led ‘war on drugs'. The cost and impracticality of drug criminalisation, together with changes in Western public opinion, mean that cannabis legalisation has very recently been accepted in some countries and drug prohibition is being dismantled.
Service user, patient, survivor or client … has the time come to
return to ‘patient’?
Authors: Christmas David M. B. , Sweeney Angela 
Published: July 2016

SummaryRecently, the Council of the UK Royal College of Psychiatrists agreed to use
the term ‘patient’ as the preferred collective noun when referring to people
accessing mental health services in its official documentation. Choices
regarding terminology have the power to influence those who use such terms
and here, David Christmas and Angela Sweeney debate the issue of whether
such a decision is appropriate or whether we need to be more careful about
the terms we use.
Prevalence of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer in India: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Sandhu Gurprataap S. , Erqou Sebhat , Patterson Heidi , Mathew Aju 
Published: June 2016

Purpose There is considerable variation in prevalence rates of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) reported by various studies from India. We performed a systematic review and literature-based meta-analysis of these studies. Methods We searched databases of Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science for studies that reported on the prevalence of TNBC in India that were published between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2015. We extracted relevant information from each study by using a standardized form. We pooled study-specific estimates by using random-effects meta-analysis to provide summary estimates. We explored sources of heterogeneity by using subgroup analyses and metaregression. Results Data were obtained from 17 studies that involved 7,237 patients with breast cancer. Overall combined prevalence of TNBC was 31% (95% CI, 27% to 35%). There was substantial heterogeneity across the studies (I2 of 91% [95% CI, 88% to 94%]; P < .001) that was not explained by available study level characteristics, including study location, definition of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 or estrogen receptor, mean age of participants, proportion of patients with premenopausal cancer, grade 3 disease, or tumor size > 5 cm. Overall combined prevalence of hormone receptor–positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive breast cancer was 48% (95% CI, 42% to 54%) and 27% (95% CI, 24% to 31%), respectively. There was no evidence of publication bias. Conclusion Prevalence of TNBC in India is considerably higher compared with that seen in Western populations. As many as as one in three women with breast cancer could have triple-negative disease. This finding has significant clinical relevance as it may contribute to poor outcomes in patients with breast cancer in India. Additional research is needed to understand the determinants of TNBC in India.
Spatio-temporal variability of Borer Polychaetes in Posidonia oceanica beds and its relation to meadow structure
Authors: VASAPOLLO C. , VILLANO L. , GAMBI M. C. 
Published: June 2016

Posidonia oceanica forms an extremely productive and complex ecosystem in the coastal Mediterranean Sea providing a suitable habitat for hundreds of plant and animal species. Among motile invertebrates associated to Posidonia meadows, polychaete borers of the plant sheaths represent a unique group which exploit a peculiar microhabitat. They belong to the family Eunicidae with three dominant species, Lysidice collaris, L. ninetta and L. unicornis. Due to their strong association with Posidonia shoots, these animals are particularly suitable to study the plant and animal spatial relationships and their pattern of variability. The aim of this work was to evaluate the frequency of occurrence of these animals (Index of Borer, IB) at different spatial and temporal (summer vs winter) scales in two Posidonia meadows off the Ischia Island (Gulf of Naples, Italy), which are exposed to different degrees of human impact and of hydrological conditions. Results showed IB values of L. collaris (the most abundant species) significantly different between meadows and at scales from 10s to 100s of meters, as well as between summer and winter. The IB of L. ninetta showed significant differences only at scales of 10s of meters while, on the contrary, the IB of L. unicornis (the less abundant species) did not show variability at any spatial and temporal scales. Most of the variance was at the more impacted and less water movement exposed meadow, suggesting higher level of small and intermediate scales of patchiness of borers at this meadow. These variation patterns are discussed in relation to local environmental differences between the studied Posidonia beds.

Published: June 2016

A methodology is presented to assess the environmental status sensu the Marine Strategy Water Framework Directive (MSFD) based on data obtained from the monitoring of water quality in the Hellenic coastal waters within the Water Framework Directive (WFD). An adapted decision tree used for integrating the results of the WFD in the Basque country was applied. Modifications lie to the evaluation of the physicochemical status based on a eutrophication index developed for Eastern Mediterranean waters. Results on hydromorphological, physicochemical and biological elements are presented. The chemical status was evaluated based on measurements of heavy metals in water. The evaluation of the biological quality was based on the use of metrics developed for phytoplankton biomass, benthic macroinvertebrates and macroalgae updated to accommodate MSFD needs. Results on the integrative status of the water bodies were validated by correlating classification results with a pressure index and environmental indicators in water column and sediment. Following this decision tree the majority of stations expected to be at risk of achieving the good status were found in moderate status. Benthos was found to be the element with the closest agreement with the integrated final status having an increased weighting in the decision tree. The quality of benthos and in some limited cases the eutrophication index determined largely the final status. The highest disagreement with the integrative classification was produced by macroalgae. All indicators used correlated with water and sediment parameters but benthos correlated better with sediment factors while phytoplankton and eutrophication index with water column parameters.
Evaluation of immunologic response of salivary sIg-A in pediatric tuberculosis patients to antigen Ag38-rec of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Indonesian strain
Authors: Raras Tri Yudani Mardining , Pritta Santi Diah Erma , Kusuma HMS Chandra 
Published: June 2016

Objective: We studied the immune response of salivary secretory immunoglobulin A (sIg-A) from a pediatric tuberculosis (TB) group (scoring ≥6) and non-TB group (scoring <6) against recombinant Ag38 (Ag38-rec) fromMycobacterium tuberculosis Indonesian strain.Materials and Methods: Seventy-eight children were divided into three groups; those with TB (n=26), those with suspected TB (n=26), and healthy children (n=26), their saliva was collected, and salivary sIg-A was challenged with purified Ag38-rec using the dot blot method. A change of color from white to dark blue indicated a positive reaction.Results: The immune response of sIg-A of children with TB and those with suspected TB to Ag38-rec was not significantly different. In the TB group, Ag38-rec showed a higher sensitivity than protein purified derivative (PPD) (70.8% vs. 62.5%), but a lower specificity (26.9% vs. 34.62%). However, within both groups (scoring ≥6) as well as non-TB group (scoring <6) Ag38-rec was able to identify children with a positive TST (tuberculin skin test) better than PPD.Conclusion: The antigen Ag38-rec could not distinguish between children with TB (scores ≥6 and <6). However, it demonstrated the potential of Ag38-rec for use in screening for TB infection among children with suspect TB (scores <6).

Authors: Черепахин Александр , Cherepakhin Aleksandr , Хоров Алексей , Khorov Aleksey 
Published: June 2016

The solution of a problem in multi-range of cylindrical cog-wheels is in the use of banded wheels. One of the significant problems of banded wheels consists in decrease of their accuracy at assemblage. In the paper there is considered the influence of torque oscillation at threaded joint tightening upon a bend of a ring gear, and finally upon its accuracy.
In the paper it is shown that the application of mechanized (pneumatic) nut-runners results in: an increase of kinematic accuracy values and smoothness of operation of an assembled cog-wheel and lose of a ring gear not less than for one degree. In the paper the attention is drawn of manufacturers to the necessity of the application of more accurate automated nut-runners and to the certification of a ring gear not only after processing, but also after assembling.
Extrapolative Beliefs in Perceptual and Economic Decisions: Evidence of a Common Mechanism
Authors: Frydman Cary , Nave Gideon 
Published: June 2016

A critical component of both economic and perceptual decision making under uncertainty is the belief-formation process. However, most research has studied belief formation in economic and perceptual decision making in isolation. One reason for this separate treatment may be the assumption that there are distinct psychological mechanisms that underlie belief formation in economic and perceptual decisions. An alternative theory is that there exists a common mechanism that governs belief formation in both domains. Here, we test this alternative theory by combining a novel computational modeling technique with two well-known experimental paradigms. We estimate a drift-diffusion model (DDM) and provide an analytical method to decode prior beliefs from DDM parameters. Subjects in our experiment exhibit strong extrapolative beliefs in both paradigms. In line with the common mechanism hypothesis, we find that a single computational model explains belief formation in both tasks and that individual differences in belief formation are correlated across tasks. Data, as supplemental material, are available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2016.2453 . This paper was accepted by Yuval Rottenstreich, judgment and decision making.
The patterns of injury and management of cuboid fractures
Authors: Fenton P. , Al-Nammari S. , Blundell C. , Davies M. 
Published: June 2016

Aims Although infrequent, a fracture of the cuboid can lead to significant disruption of the integrity of the midfoot and its function. The purpose of this study was to classify the pattern of fractures of the cuboid, relate them to the mechanism of injury and suggest methods of managing them. Patients and Methods We performed a retrospective review of patients with radiologically reported cuboid fractures. Fractures were grouped according to commonly occurring patterns of injury. A total of 192 fractures in 188 patients were included. They were classified into five patterns of injury. Results Type 1 fractures (93 fractures, 48.4%) are simple avulsion injuries involving the capsule of the calcaneo-cuboid joint. Type 2 fractures (25 fractures, 13%) are isolated extra-articular injuries involving the body of the cuboid. Type 3 injuries (13 factures, 6.8%) are intra-articular fractures solely within the body of the cuboid. Type 4 fractures (35 fractures, 18.2%) are associated with disruption of the midfoot and tarsometatarsal injuries. Type 5 fractures (26 fractures, 13.5%) occur in conjunction with disruption of the mid-tarsal joint and either crushing of the lateral column alone or of both medial and lateral columns. Fractures with significant articular disruption or with loss of length of the lateral column underwent fixation. This involved either internal fixation to restore the anatomy of the cuboid and/or restoration of the length of the columns with bridging constructs using internal or external fixation. Conclusion A classification system for fractures of the cuboid is proposed in relation to the mechanism of injury. The treatment of these fractures is described.

Published: June 2016

Aims To examine the mid-term outcome and cost utility of the BioPro metallic hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of hallux rigidius. Patients and Methods We reviewed 97 consecutive BioPro metallic hemiarthroplasties performed in 80 patients for end-stage hallux rigidus, with a minimum follow-up of five years. There were 19 men and 61 women; their mean age was 55 years (22 to 74). No patient was lost to follow-up. Results A total of 12 patients (15 first metatarso-phalangeal joints (MTPJs)) required a revision; one for infection, two for osteolysis and 12 for pain. The all cause rate of survival at five years was 85.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 83.5 to 87.9). Younger age was a significant predictor of revision (odds ratio 1.09, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.17, p = 0.014) on excluding infection and adjusting for confounding variables (Cox regression). Significant improvements were demonstrated at five years in the Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (13.9, 95% CI 10.5 to 17.2) and in the physical component of the Short Form-12 score (6.5, 95% CI 4.1 to 8.9). The overall rate of satisfaction was 75%. The cost per quality adjusted life year at five years, accounting for a 14% rate of revision was between £4431 and £6361 depending on the complexity and morbidity of the patient. Conclusion The BioPro hemiarthroplasty offers good short to mid-term functional outcome and is a cost effective intervention. The relatively high revision rate is associated with younger age and perhaps the use of this implant should be limited to older patients. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:945–51.

Published: June 2016

Joint replacement of the hip and knee remain very satisfactory operations. They are, however, expensive. The actual manufacturing of the implant represents only 30% of the final cost, while sales and marketing represent 40%. Recently, the patents on many well established and successful implants have expired. Companies have started producing and distributing implants that purport to replicate existing implants with good long-term results.The aims of this paper are to assess the legality, the monitoring and cost saving implications of such generic implants. We also assess how this might affect the traditional orthopaedic implant companies.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:892–900.
Assessment of vitamin D status – a changing landscape
Authors: Herrmann Markus , Farrell Christopher-John L. , Pusceddu Irene , Fabregat-Cabello Neus , Cavalier Etienne 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
In recent years it has been shown that vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased incidence as well as the progression of a broad range of diseases including osteoporosis, rickets, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis and cancer. Consequently, requests for the assessment of vitamin D status have increased dramatically. Despite significant progress in the analysis of vitamin D metabolites and an expansion of our pathophysiological knowledge of vitamin D, the assessment of vitamin D status remains a challenging and partially unresolved issue. Current guidelines from scientific bodies recommend the measurement of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD) in blood as the preferred test. However, growing evidence indicates significant limitations of this test, including analytical aspects and interpretation of results. In addition, the relationships between 25-OHD and various clinical indices, such as bone mineral density and fracture risk, are rather weak and not consistent across races. Recent studies have systematically investigated new markers of vitamin D status including the vitamin D metabolite ratio (VMR) (ratio between 25-OHD and 24,25-dihydroxy vitamin D), bioavailable 25-OHD [25-OHD not bound to vitamin D binding protein (DBP)], and free 25-OHD [circulating 25-OHD bound to neither DBP nor albumin (ALB)]. These parameters may potentially change how we will assess vitamin D status in the future. Although these new biomarkers have expanded our knowledge about vitamin D metabolism, a range of unresolved issues regarding their measurement and the interpretation of results prevent their use in daily practice. It can be expected that some of these issues will be overcome in the near future so that they may be considered for routine use (at least in specialized centers). In addition, genetic studies have revealed several polymorphisms in key proteins of vitamin D metabolism that affect the circulating concentrations of vitamin D metabolites. The affected proteins include DBP, 7-dehydrocholesterol synthase and the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Here we aim to review existing knowledge regarding the biochemistry, physiology and measurement of vitamin D. We will also provide an overview of current and emerging biomarkers for the assessment of vitamin D status, with particular attention methodological aspects and their usefulness in clinical practice.

The Issue of Data Exchange in the UHF Band RFID System with an Semi-Passive Transponder
Authors: Gotfryd Marek , Lichoń Wojciech , Pawłowicz Bartosz 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The article discusses the specifics of data exchange in the UHF band RFID systems using semi-passive transponders. In addition to the antenna and the RFID chip, there is also an additional source of energy (eg. battery) in the structure of such transponder. The battery may be used to implement additional functions such as the ability to measure physical quantities (eg. temperature, humidity). In this regard, particular attention was paid to the discussion of phases of communication between transponder and RWD associated with additional data (measurement results). An analysis of transmitted data frames has been presented. The preliminary results of the measurements have shown that the number of memory block transmitted from transponder has an impact on the effectiveness of RFID system.
