Authors: Mao Yuqing , Lu Zhiyong 
Published: July 2016

Abstract

Purpose
This paper is an investigation of the effectiveness of the method of clustering biomedical journals through mining the content similarity of journal articles.

Design/methodology/approach
3,265 journals in PubMed are analyzed based on article content similarity and Web usage, respectively. Comparisons of the two analysis approaches and a citation-based approach are given.

Findings
Our results suggest that article content similarity is useful for clustering biomedical journals, and the content-similarity-based journal clustering method is more robust and less subject to human factors compared with the usage-based approach and the citation-based approach.

Research limitations
Our paper currently focuses on clustering journals in the biomedical domain because there are a large volume of freely available resources such as PubMed and MeSH in this field. Further investigation is needed to improve this approach to fit journals in other domains.

Practical implications
Our results show that it is feasible to catalog biomedical journals by mining the article content similarity. This work is also significant in serving practical needs in research portfolio analysis.

Originality/value
To the best of our knowledge, we are among the first to report on clustering journals in the biomedical field through mining the article content similarity. This method can be integrated with existing approaches to create a new paradigm for future studies of journal clustering.
From mutualism to individual competitiveness: Implications and challenges for social justice within career guidance in neoliberal times
Authors: Plant Peter , Kjærgård Roger 
Published: July 2016

The beginning of the twentieth century was a time of great societal and social change in the US. Many people struggled to find their way in a transformed and rapidly transforming society in which there was an increasing divide between the rich and the poor. Parsons and the social reformers of his time were advocates for the poor, youth, women and disadvantaged, and (Parsons, 1909) understood his vocational guidance work with individuals within a broad vision of social change. Over time, career guidance has been criticised for its lack of attention to this broad vision of social change, being more and more individualised in its practice. The changes of the 21st century have been described as neoliberal with focus on global competitiveness and increased individual autonomy. This article examines the roots of career guidance and the implications and challenges of social justice within career guidance in neoliberaltimes.
A focus on educational choice has social justice consequences - an empirical study informed by Sen’s capability approach
Authors: Skovhus Randi Boelskifte 
Published: July 2016

This article demonstrates that in Denmark there is considerable focus on educational and career choices during the last year of lower-secondary school, and investigates the possibility of using Amartya Sen’s capability approach as a lens to analyse this focus. It is argued that attention to the processes occurring before choices are made is of central importance, as these help to give students a genuine opportunity to choose from a broader range of options. This consideration is important from a social-justice perspective even if students end up choosing what they would have chosen without broader knowledge and reflection.

ABSTRACT
This study focused for socio-economic benefit of Western shoreline of Lake Ziway ecosystem. The data collected from two woredas they are Adami Tulu Jidu Kombolch (ATJK) and Dugda woreda of fishermen and small scale irrigation users. Lake Ziway great importance food and water for both groups of respondents and additionally sources of raw material, energy, cultivation, organic fertilizers, genetic and medicinal plants. Lake Ziway also has a major economic benefit for both groups of respondents. The sampled fishermen cached mean amount of 2,524Kg per year with minimum and maximum amount of fish 504Kg and 16,800Kg per year respectively and with this fish catching they got average income of 51,398 Birr ($2,570) per year with range of 7,200 Birr ($360) and 288,000 Birr ($14,400) per year. As like of fishermen small scale irrigation also got economic benefit with their production of cereal crops, fruits and vegetables. They produce in average 13.47Quintal of cereal crop and 69.56Quintal of fruits and vegetables per year and they got average income of 7,727 Birr ($386) and with range of 13,714 Birr ($686) per year respectively. this incurred that wetland ecosystem has a lot of socio-economic benefit for the people live near by specially for developing countries like Ethiopia they are more dependent on natural ecosystem like of Lake Ziway. Because of its high importance, we have to protect and conserve and use sustainably of Lake Ziway and similar wetland ecosystems.

Testing Ststistical Hypothesis in Light of Mathematical Aspects in Analysis of Probability
Authors: Fundator Michael 
Published: July 2016

The philosophy of testing statistical hypothesis is a natural consequence and functional
extension of mathematical analysis of Probability. Along with the concept of recurrence when
applied to random sequences and functions, it leads to the analysis of a priori and posterior which
implies testing statistical hypothesis. Testing statistical hypothesis also involves algebraic,
functional and dimensional considerations, which are found in the works of Laplace. Aspects of
mathematical analysis such as universality of solutions, Laws of Large Numbers, Entropy,
Information, and various functional dependencies are the main factors explained in the five
properties that lead to implication of testing statistical hypothesis. Various interesting examples
with modern scientific significance from genetics, astrophysics, and other areas give
methodological access to answers of different problems and phenomena which are involved in the
logic of testing statistical hypothesis.

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a multipurpose crop for which there is growing interest in Canada. There is, however, currently limited information on the adaptation and production potential of government approved cultivars in eastern Canada. Eleven cultivars were evaluated in terms of biomass and seed yields and composition, when grown in seven contrasted environments in the province of Québec. Dry matter yields varied considerably across cultivars and environments, ranging between 172 and 8837 kg ha−1 (average of 3226 kg ha−1) for biomass, and between 47 and 3781 kg ha−1 (average of 1315 kg ha−1) for seeds. Despite the presence of cultivar × environment interactions for both biomass and seed yields, the cultivars Anka, Ferimon, and Jutta consistently produced high yields across environments. Averaged across environments, these cultivars respectively had biomass and seed yields of 4591 and 1397, 5827, and 1878, and 4096 and 1408 kg DM ha−1. Limited variation was observed among cultivars in terms of composition. Cellulose was the largest biomass constituent (average of 562 g kg−1 DM across cultivars and environments), followed by hemicellulose and lignin (averages of 123 and 93 g kg−1 DM, respectively), while seed crude protein (CP) and oil (ether extract) concentrations averaged 237 and 288 g kg−1 DM, respectively. Considerable variation in yield potential and adaptation were observed among the cultivars of industrial hemp evaluated in the province of Québec; while biomass yields were moderate, the seed yield potential appears to be high locally compared to western Canada.Core Ideas

How to Control the Lysimeter Bottom Boundary to Investigate the Effect of Climate Change on Soil Processes?
Authors: Groh Jannis , Vanderborght Jan , Pütz Thomas , Vereecken Harry 
Published: July 2016

Core Ideas
The water flux in lysimeters with a tension‐controlled bottom boundary depends strongly on the applied pressure head.
The surrounding subsurface conditions have a significant influence on the measured pressure heads that are used to control the bottom boundary of transferred lysimeters.
Use of nonappropriate water table depths and soil textural properties which do not correspond to the conditions where the lysimeter originated can lead to large differences in soil water fluxes.
The control of the bottom boundary of transferred lysimeters should be managed by measured pressure heads from the site where the lysimeter was taken from in order to enable a direct comparison of changes in soils and to investigate the effect of climate change on soil processes and soil functions.
A dynamic tension‐controlled bottom boundary of lysimeters allows observing water and matter fluxes in lysimeters that are close to natural field conditions, as pressure heads at the lysimeter bottom are adjusted to measured pressure heads at the same depth in the surrounding field. However lysimeters are often transferred from their sampling location for practical reasons or to study, for example, the effect of climate change on soil functions. This transfer can be accompanied by a change aboveground but also in subsurface conditions that are used to control the bottom boundary and that may affect the soil water balance of lysimeters. This issue is also relevant for lysimeter stations which use a tension‐controlled bottom boundary and are not directly installed near the site of excavation. The potential impact of different bottom boundary conditions on the water balance of lysimeters that were transferred in a climate impact experiment (SOILCan) was investigated exemplarily by a numerical study. Results showed that by using nonappropriate pressure heads, which were measured in soil profiles with a different texture and water table depth than the profile where the lysimeter was taken from, had partially large impacts on soil water fluxes, especially when the water table was located within a specific critical range. Different climate conditions between sampling and installation site were buffered by the soil and did not show a strong influence on the bottom boundary control of lysimeters when the groundwater table depth was assumed to remain constant. Considering a change in groundwater table depths due to changing climate tempered the effects of climate change on the soil water balance terms. In general, results demonstrate the importance of a proper control of the lysimeters bottom boundary conditions in studies that investigate the influence of climate change on soil functions and ecosystem variables by transferring lysimeter along climate gradients.

Published: July 2016

Background Allergic rhinitis is a common disorder that leads to a negative impact on quality of life. Multiple options are available for treatment of the symptoms, but preventing the reaction should be an effective strategy. Objective We tested a nasal spray that contained microcrystalline cellulose designed to limit airborne allergens from penetrating the nasal mucosa (nasal blocker) and, therefore, prevent the initiation of the allergic reaction. Methods We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-way crossover clinical trial with 20 subjects who had a history of seasonal grass and/or ragweed allergy symptoms. Each subject underwent two separate nasal challenges with antigen (provocations) after application of the investigational product or placebo to both nostrils. The allergen was delivered into one nostril at a time and was administered at 2-hour intervals (identified as challenge 1 and challenge 2). We assessed peak nasal inspiratory flow and total nasal symptoms as well as the number of sneezes recorded at both 15-minute and 1-hour intervals after challenge 1 and, later, challenge 2. After a washout period, the subjects returned to undergo the alternate therapy. Results There was a significant overall decrease in peak nasal inspiratory flow after both treatments (investigational product, p = 0.005; placebo, p = 0.001), but, when the average of the change from baseline in peak nasal inspiratory flow was compared with the baseline, the results showed no significant differences between the groups (p = 0.31). Similar results were obtained for total nasal symptoms. Conclusion The investigational product did not prove to be significantly better than placebo in treating seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms.

Published: July 2016

Background Endoscopic endonasal repair of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea secondary to idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also known as pseudotumor cerebri or benign intracranial hypertension, has varying success rates, from 25–87%, with minimal morbidity. However, often these series have a relatively short-term follow-up. Given the pathophysiology of IIH, long-term follow-up is necessary to identify true CSF leak recurrence rates. Our investigation aimed to evaluate long-term outcomes in endoscopically repaired CSF leaks. Methods A retrospective chart review of all the patients with CSF rhinorrhea due to IIH who met inclusion criteria between 1996 and 2009. Outcome measures included the following: demographics, intracranial pressure, location of skull base defect, presence of encephalocele and/or meningoencephalocele, surgical repair technique, treatment with acetazolamide, whether a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was inserted, location of recurrence, history of meningitis or previous sinus surgery, and duration of follow-up. Results Thirty-two patients with a total of 44 skull base defects were reviewed over a mean follow-up of 10.2 years. The mean body mass index and intracranial pressure were 36.8 kg/m2 and 27.7 cm H2O, respectively. Seven patients (18%) required revision surgery at the same site or a distant site. We found no statistical significance that identified the recurrence risk in the outcome measurements most likely due to our small failure rate. However, early recurrences were noted to recur at the same repair site, whereas late recurrences were noted to recur at a distant site along the skull base. Conclusion IIH is an increasingly recognized entity treated by otorhinolaryngologists. We present the first long-term IIH CSF leak repair series. Long-term follow-up is necessary because delayed CSF leaks occur in this population.
Complications of Sinusitis
Authors: Carr Tara F. 
Published: July 2016

Background Sinusitis is a common disorder associated with significant patient symptomatology that adversely affects quality of life. Sinusitis can cause further morbidity and mortality through its impact on comorbid disorders, progression of inflammation, and extension of infection. Objective This review highlights common complications of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Results ABRS is complicated by orbital infections, such as pre- or postseptal cellulitis, and by intracranial infections, including abscesses of the epidural and subdural spaces. CRS can contribute to asthma, sleep disordered breathing, and smell disorders. CRS can be complicated by development of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis or deformity of surrounding bony structures. Fungal complications contribute to morbidity and mortality. Conclusion Complications of ABRS, although relatively rare, can cause significant morbidity and mortality, and must be promptly recognized. CRS commonly complicates or drives comorbid diseases, which adversely impacts quality of life. Treatment of these complications often requires coordinated multidisciplinary care.

Published: July 2016

Background Since 1972, patients with large nasal perforations, who were symptomatic, and who were not candidates for surgery, had the option of custom prosthetic closure at Mayo Clinic. Although septal prostheses have helped many patients, 27% of pre-1982 patients chose not to keep the prosthesis in place. Two-dimensional computed tomography (CT) sizing resulted in more of the patients choosing to retain the prosthesis. The introduction of three-dimensional (3-D) printing to the sizing process offered the potential of further improved retention by refinement in prosthesis fit. Objective To describe the fabrication of nasal septal prostheses by using 3-D printing for sizing and to compare the retention rate of 3-D-sized prostheses with those that used previous sizing methods. Methods Twenty-one consecutive patients who had placement of septal prostheses sized by using 3-D printed templates were studied. CT image data were used to print 3-D templates of the exact shape of the patient's septal perforation, and medical-grade silastic prostheses were fabricated to fit. In four cases, the 3-D printed template allowed preoperative surgical simulation. Metrics collected included prosthesis retention; symptoms, including intranasal crusting and epistaxis; and previous prosthetic closure failures. Results Twenty of the twenty-one patients had improvement in symptoms. The mean diameter of the perforations was 2.4 cm; the mean closure time by the end of the study period was 2.2 years. All but two patients chose to keep their prosthesis in place, for a retention rate of 90%. Seven patients with successful closure had failed previously with prior prosthesis sized without the current 3-D printing methodology. This 90% retention rate exceeded the previous rates before the introduction of 3-D sizing. Conclusion Sizing done by 3-D printing for prosthetic closure of nasal septal perforations resulted in a higher retention rate in helping patients with these most-challenging nasal septal perforations.

Background The prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases has risen in recent decades. The etiology of asthma and allergic diseases has not been entirely elucidated. Objective In this study, we investigated the possibility that programmed vaccination in China may have a potential role in asthma and allergic diseases. Methods In this animal model, newborn BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups: vaccine plus ovalbumin (OVA), OVA, and control. The mice of vaccine plus OVA only group were inoculated with vaccines by following the National Vaccines Inoculation Program in China. Mice of vaccine plus OVA and OVA only groups were sensitized and challenged with OVA. Airway hyperresponsiveness was assessed by lung function and serum interleukin (ILL) 4 and interferon (IFN) γ were measured. Results The results of lung function showed that mice of the vaccine plus OVA group exhibited an increase in enhanced pause (Penh) compared with that in the OVA group at methacholine concentrations of 6.25 and 12.5 mg/mL (p < 0.05). Serum IL-4 in the vaccine plus OVA group was higher than that in the OVA group (p < 0.01). The serum IFN-γ level in the OVA group was lower than that in the control group (p < 0.01), and also lower than that in the vaccine plus OVA group (p < 0.05). The ratio of IFN-γ to IL-4 both in the OVA and vaccine plus OVA group was lower than that in the control group (p < 0.01). Conclusions Results of our study indicated that programmed vaccination in China may have a potential role in the prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases by inducing T-helper 2 cytokine expression and may be responsible for the increasing prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases in China.
