Published: July 2016

Aim
To investigate impulsive behaviors in pathological buying (PB).

Methods
The study included three groups matched for age and gender: treatment seeking outpatients with PB (PB+), treatment seeking psychiatric inpatients without PB (PB−), and a healthy control group (HC). PB was assessed by means of the Compulsive Buying Scale and by the impulse control disorder (ICD) module of the research version of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-ICD). All participants answered questionnaires concerning symptoms of borderline personality disorder, self-harming behaviors, binge eating and symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In addition, comorbid ICDs were assessed using the SCID-ICD.

Results
The PB+ and PB− groups did not differ with regard to borderline personality disorder or ADHD symptoms, but both groups reported significantly more symptoms than the HC group. Frequencies of self-harming behaviors did not differ between the three groups. Patients with PB were more often diagnosed with any current ICD (excluding PB) compared to those without PB and the HC group (38.7% vs. 12.9% vs. 12.9%, respectively, p=.017).

Discussion
Our findings confirm prior research suggesting more impulsive behaviors in patients with and without PB compared to healthy controls. The results of the questionnaire-based assessment indicate that outpatients with PB perceive themselves equally impulsive and self-harm as frequently as inpatients without PB; but they seem to suffer more often from an ICD as assessed by means of an interview.

Esse artigo trata de um projeto de pesquisa e de extensão que teve como objetivo o reconhecimento cultural e social de sujeitos das diversidades - especialmente ligados aos grupos culturais e movimentos sociais (pós)feministas - e de suas várias performances, artísticas e políticas, sendo que as expressões performáticas muitas vezes ganharam consistência com o recurso às oralidades. O ato de narrar histórias criou e favoreceu práticas performáticas e políticas que iniciaram, formaram, atualizaram as pessoas em torno das complexas dinâmicas que fazem partes das políticas públicas, sobretudo quanto ao conhecimento e reconhecimento em torno das questões das diversidades e discussões sobre cidadanias culturais na contemporaneidade, que ressignificam constantemente práticas e valores culturais de memória e identidade.
Organic Supplemental Nitrogen Sources for Field Corn Production after a Hairy Vetch Cover Crop

Published: July 2016

Legume cover crops and organic amendments in combination could meet corn (Zea mays L.) nitrogen (N) needs while optimizing phosphorus (P) inputs. In a 2‐yr field study, we characterized the N‐mineralization dynamics and impacts on corn grain yield of feather meal (FM), poultry litter (PL), pelletized PL (PPL), and a PPL‐FM blend (PFMB) with or without a hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) cover crop. The four amendments, which differed substantially in chemical and laboratory N‐release characteristics, provided corn yield benefits only when vetch biomass was low. In 2010, vetch produced 4630 kg biomass ha−1 and increased corn grain yield from 8.7 to 13.3 Mg ha−1 compared with a no‐vetch treatment. Vetch alone supplied sufficient N to achieve maximum corn yield as determined using an ammonium nitrate fertilizer response curve embedded within the organic amendment experiment. In 2009, vetch produced only 1551 kg ha−1 and provided no benefit to corn yield. Three of the organic amendments (all but PPL) increased corn yield by 1.8 to 2.3 Mg ha−1 whether vetch was present or not. Phosphorus inputs from amendments were similar to, or lower than, P removal in corn grain harvest, indicating that amendments would not result in soil P accumulation at these application rates. Amendment costs differed substantially such that economic returns using PL would be considerably greater than with PPL, PFMB, or FM. Results show that considering legume cover crop biomass is critical to determining organic amendment applications.

Impact of organic amendments on corn grain yield depends on vetch biomass production.
Organic amendments did not increase corn yield when vetch biomass was >4500 kg ha−1.
Vetch provided no benefit to corn yield when biomass was <1600 kg ha−1.
Organic amendments increased corn yield when vetch biomass was <1600 kg ha−1.
Amendments applied at 45 kg N ha−1 did not raise concerns about residual P.

Published: July 2016

This research investigated the efficiency and residual effects of two solid organomineral fertilizers on corn (Zea mays L.) shoot dry matter (SDM), P uptake, P recovery index, P use efficiency index, accumulated SDM (ASDM), and total P uptake. This was a greenhouse pot study where organomineral‐granulated (OG) fertilizer, organomineral‐pelletized (OM) fertilizer, and inorganic fertilizer mix (MM) were tested on a Eutropherric Red Latossol clay soil (Oxisol). Phosphorus (P) rates were 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg kg−1. Two plants were grown in each pot for 35 d before harvest; this cropping cycle was repeated consecutively four times on the same pots. Corn SDM for OM in the first cropping cycle was three times lower than for OG and MM at the highest P rate, was similar among all sources in the second and third cycles, and in the last cropping cycle was on average two times higher for the OM and MM compared with OG. Tissue P uptake was on average 50% greater for OM and MM than for OG. Corn ASDM and total P uptake were significantly greater (on average 35% for ASDM and 40% for total P uptake) with MM and OM than with OG for the majority of the rates. The P recovery index was the same in the first cropping cycle among all sources; however, it was significantly higher (60% on average) for MM and OM in the last two cycles than for OG. No difference in P use efficiency of corn plants was observed between fertilizer sources.

Organomineral fertilizers made with different techniques yield fertilizers with different P availability.
We observed a different residual effect among the mineral and organomineral fertilizers.
The P release kinetics of the mineral fertilizer are different compared with the organomineral.
The P content extracted by water in the fertilizers is the main index of the phosphate fertilizer efficiency.
A 13-Weeks Mindfulness Based Pain Management Program Improves Psychological Distress in Patients with Chronic Pain Compared with Waiting List Controls
Authors: Andersen Tonny Elmose , Vægter Henrik Bjarke 
Published: July 2016

Background:
Eradication of pain is seldom an option in chronic pain management. Hence, mindfulness meditation has become popular in pain management.

Objective:
This pilot study compared the effect of a 13-weeks cognitive behavioural therapy program with integrated mindfulness meditation (CBTm) in patients with chronic non-malignant pain with a control condition. It was hypothesised that the CBTm program would reduce pain intensity and psychological distress compared to the control condition and that level of mindfulness and acceptance both would be associated with the reduction in pain intensity and psychological distress.

Methods:
A case-control design was used and data were collected from a convenience sample of 70 patients with chronic non-malignant pain. Fifty patients were consecutively recruited to the CBTm intervention and 20 patients matched waiting list controls. Assessments of clinical pain and psychological distress were performed in both groups at baseline and after 13 weeks.

Results:
The CBTm program reduced depression, anxiety and pain-catastrophizing compared with the control group. Increased level of mindfulness and acceptance were associated with change in psychological distress with the exception of depression, which was only associated with change in level of mindfulness. Surprisingly, changes in level of mindfulness did not correlate with changes in acceptance.

Conclusions:
The results indicate that different mechanisms are targeted with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. The finding that changes in level of mindfulness did not correlate with changes in acceptance may indicate that acceptance is not a strict prerequisite for coping with pain related distress.
Material Weaknesses in Tax-Related Internal Controls and Last Chance Earnings Management
Authors: Gleason Cristi A. , Pincus Morton , Rego Sonja Olhoft 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
We investigate the consequences of tax-related internal control material weaknesses (ICMWs) for financial reporting. We hypothesize that the presence of ineffective controls over the tax function makes earnings management through the income tax accrual (both income increasing and income decreasing) easier to implement relative to firms with effective controls. We also predict that the remediation of tax-related ICMWs has the effect of constraining earnings management through the tax accrual. The results provide support for our predictions. We also find that last chance earnings management via tax-related ICMWs is concentrated in the early years of our sample, during the initial SOX implementation period. Our results suggest that tax-related ICMWs were initially associated with greater tax-expense management but that SOX internal control assessments subsequently improved the quality of financial reporting by reducing opportunities for tax-expense management.
Mitochondrial DNA Fragmentation to Monitor Safety and Quality in Roasted Peanuts

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fragmentation has been proposed as a time-temperature integrator (TTI) for high-moisture thermal processes using low-acid, high-temperature and high-acid, low-temperature protocols. In this study, dry roasted peanuts were assayed using the same novel molecular TTI. Enterococcus faecium was evaluated as a Salmonella surrogate for process validation and compared to fragmentation of intrinsic peanut mtDNA and Hunter L color, a quality indicator, for dry roasting. Reduction curve data for E. faecium were highly repeatable as similar kinetics were observed when compared to another study which used a commercial, contract laboratory to validate this same surrogate for use with dry roasted peanuts processes (4-log reduction after 10 min at 167 C). Mitochondrial DNA fragmentation was not linear compared to time at a given temperature, but exhibited a long lag time. D and z-values were calculated using E. faecium, threshold cycle (Ct) and Hunter L color values. D values for E. faecium were 2.68, 2.06 and 1.89 min for 138, 153 and 167 C roasting temperatures, respectively. Mitochondrial DNA fragmentation as measured by Ct had a D value of 12.3 min at a roasting temperature of 167 C which was slightly higher than “wet” processes (ca. 11.5 min). Hunter L values had an inverse, linear relationship with time at a given temperature. Hunter L color, if applied to individual peanuts and empirically validated, could be used as an inexpensive visible method to troubleshoot continuous flow systems. Ct values were not linear or highly correlated to Hunter L values. Dissection of peanuts exhibited a differential heating effect depending on the part of the peanut used for DNA extraction and the type of tissue assayed. Mitochondrial DNA fragmentation as measured by Ct value was deemed too variable for thermal process or quality validation of dry, solid foods such as peanuts. However, it could be used to evaluate penetration of heat through a solid food matrix, to find the coldest spot and test the worst-case scenario.
DEPARTURE OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE IRON LINES FROM THE EQUILIBRIUM STATE IN FLARING SOLAR PLASMAS
Authors: Kawate T. , Keenan F. P. , Jess D. B. 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to clarify if the assumption of ionization equilibrium and a Maxwellian electron energy distribution is valid in flaring solar plasmas. We analyze the 2014 December 20 X1.8 flare, in which the Fe xxi 187 Å, Fe xxii 253 Å, Fe xxiii 263 Å, and Fe xxiv 255 Å emission lines were simultaneously observed by the EUV Imaging Spectrometer on board the Hinode satellite. Intensity ratios among these high-temperature Fe lines are compared and departures from isothermal conditions and ionization equilibrium examined. Temperatures derived from intensity ratios involving these four lines show significant discrepancies at the flare footpoints in the impulsive phase, and at the looptop in the gradual phase. Among these, the temperature derived from the Fe xxii/Fe xxiv intensity ratio is the lowest, which cannot be explained if we assume a Maxwellian electron distribution and ionization equilibrium, even in the case of a multithermal structure. This result suggests that the assumption of ionization equilibrium and/or a Maxwellian electron energy distribution can be violated in evaporating solar plasma around 10 MK.
LOST AND FOUND: EVIDENCE OF SECOND-GENERATION STARS ALONG THE ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH OF THE GLOBULAR CLUSTER NGC 6752∗

ABSTRACT
We derived chemical abundances for C, N, O, Na, Mg, and Al in 20 asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the globular cluster (GC) NGC 6752. All these elements (but Mg) show intrinsic star-to-star variations and statistically significant correlations or anticorrelations analogous to those commonly observed in red giant stars of GCs hosting multiple populations. This demonstrates that, at odds with previous findings, both first- and second-generation (SG) stars populate the AGB of NGC 6752. The comparison with the Na abundances of red giant branch stars in the same cluster reveals that SG stars (with mild Na and He enrichment) do reach the AGB phase. The only objects that are not observed along the AGB of NGC 6752 are stars with extreme Na enhancement. This is also consistent with standard stellar evolution models, showing that highly Na and He enriched stars populate the bluest portion of the horizontal branch and, because of their low stellar masses, evolve directly to the white dwarf cooling sequence, skipping the AGB phase.

Abstract
There is great interest in the development of Ab-inducing subunit vaccines targeting infections, including HIV, malaria, and Ebola. We previously reported that adenovirus vectored vaccines are potent in priming Ab responses, but uncertainty remains regarding the optimal approach for induction of humoral immune responses. In this study, using OVA as a model Ag, we assessed the magnitude of the primary and anamnestic Ag–specific IgG responses of mice to four clinically relevant vaccine formulations: replication-deficient adenovirus; modified vaccinia Ankara (a poxvirus); protein with alum; and protein in the squalene oil-in-water adjuvant Addavax. We then used flow cytometric assays capable of measuring total and Ag-specific germinal center (GC) B cell and follicular Th cell responses to compare the induction of these responses by the different formulations. We report that adenovirus vectored vaccines induce Ag insert–specific GC B cell and Ab responses of a magnitude comparable to those induced by a potent protein/squalene oil-in-water formulation whereas—despite a robust overall GC response—the insert-specific GC B cell and Ab responses induced by modified vaccinia Ankara were extremely weak. Ag-specific follicular Th cell responses to adenovirus vectored vaccines exceeded those induced by other platforms at day 7 after immunization. We found little evidence that innate immune activation by adenovirus may act as an adjuvant in such a manner that the humoral response to a recombinant protein may be enhanced by coadministering with an adenovirus lacking a transgene of interest. Overall, these studies provide further support for the use of replication-deficient adenoviruses to induce humoral responses.

Abstract
Monoclonal Abs against CD20 reduce the number of relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS); commonly this effect is solely attributed to depletion of B cells. Recently, however, a subset of CD3+CD20+ T cells has been described that is also targeted by the anti-CD20 mAb rituximab. Because the existence of cells coexpressing CD3 and CD20 is controversial and features of this subpopulation are poorly understood, we studied this issue in detail. In this study, we confirm that 3–5% of circulating human T cells display CD20 on their surface and transcribe both CD3 and CD20. We report that these CD3+CD20+ T cells pervade thymus, bone marrow, and secondary lymphatic organs. They are found in the cerebrospinal fluid even in the absence of inflammation; in the cerebrospinal fluid of MS patients they occur at a frequency similar to B cells. Phenotypically, these T cells are enriched in CD8+ and CD45RO+ memory cells and in CCR7− cells. Functionally, they show a higher frequency of IL-4–, IL-17–, IFN-γ–, and TNF-α–producing cells compared with T cells lacking CD20. CD20-expressing T cells respond variably to immunomodulatory treatments given to MS patients: they are reduced by fingolimod, alemtuzumab, and dimethyl fumarate, whereas natalizumab disproportionally increases them in the blood. After depletion by rituximab, they show earlier and higher repopulation than CD20+ B cells. Taken together, human CD3+CD20+ T cells pervade lymphatic organs and the cerebrospinal fluid, have a strong ability to produce different cytokines, and respond to MS disease modifying drugs.

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT

Aim
This study investigated the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) over Streptococcus mutans biofilm.

Materials and methods
Eighteen (n = 18) patients were selected and one palatine device with dental blocks was used. The biofilm was treated by curcumin and Photogem® with a LED and the effect was analyzed by CFU/ml.

Results
Although, statistical analysis showed significant reductions for aPDT mainly with Photogem® (p = 0.02), these were low.

Conclusion
The results suggest a low antimicrobial effect of aPDT over S. mutans biofilm. Some parameters used need to be improved.

Clinical Significance
This technique can be a promising in Dentistry.

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT

Aim
The aim of this study was to evaluate the release of nickel and chromium ions in human saliva during fixed orthodontic therapy.

Materials and methods
Ten patients with Angle's Class-I malocclusion with bimaxillary protrusion without any metal restorations or crowns and with all the permanent teeth were selected. Five male patients and five female patients in the age group range of 14 to 23 years were scheduled for orthodontic treatment with first premolar extraction. Saliva samples were collected in three stages: sample 1, before orthodontic treatment; sample 2, after 10 days of bonding sample; and sample 3, after 1 month of bonding. The samples were analyzed for the following metals nickel and chromium using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).

Results
The levels of nickel and chromium were statistically significant, while nickel showed a gradual increase in the first 10 days and a decline thereafter. Chromium showed a gradual increase and was statistically significant on the 30th day.

Conclusion
There was greatest release of ions during the first 10 days and a gradual decline thereafter. Control group had traces of nickel and chromium. While comparing levels of nickel in saliva, there was a significant rise from baseline to 10th and 30th-day sample, which was statistically significant. While comparing 10th day to that of 30th day, there was no statistical significance. The levels of chromium ion in the saliva were more in 30th day, and when comparing 10th-day sample with 30th day, there was statistical significance.

Clinical significance
Nickel and chromium levels were well within the permissible levels. However, some hypersensitive individuals may be allergic to this minimal permissible level.
