Argumentation: A Methodology to Facilitate Critical Thinking
Authors: Makhene Agnes 
Published: June 2017

AbstractCaring is a difficult nursing activity that involves a complex nature of a human being in need of complex decision-making and problem solving through the critical thinking process. It is mandatory that critical thinking is facilitated in general and in nursing education particularly in order to render care in diverse multicultural patient care settings. This paper aims to describe how argumentation can be used to facilitate critical thinking in learners. A qualitative, exploratory and descriptive design that is contextual was used. Purposive sampling method was used to draw a sample and Miles and Huberman methodology of qualitative analysis was used to analyse data. Lincoln and Guba’s strategies were employed to ensure trustworthiness, while Dhai and McQuoid-Mason’s principles of ethical consideration were used. Following data analysis the findings were integrated within literature which culminated into the formulation of guidelines that can be followed when using argumentation as a methodology to facilitate critical thinking.

Published: June 2017

AbstractThe research on emerging layered two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), reveals unique optical properties generating significant interest. Experimentally, these materials were observed to host extremely strong light-matter interactions as a result of the enhanced excitonic effect in two dimensions. Thus, understanding and manipulating the excitons are crucial to unlocking the potential of 2D materials for future photonic and optoelectronic devices. In this review, we unravel the physical origin of the strong excitonic effect and unique optical selection rules in 2D semiconductors. In addition, control of these excitons by optical, electrical, as well as mechanical means is examined. Finally, the resultant devices such as excitonic light emitting diodes, lasers, optical modulators, and coupling in an optical cavity are overviewed, demonstrating how excitons can shape future 2D optoelectronics.
Utilization of spent dregs for the production of activated carbon for CO2 adsorption
Authors: Serafin Jarosław 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The objective of this work was preparation of activated carbon from spent dregs for carbon dioxide adsorption. A saturated solution of KOH was used as an activating agent. Samples were carbonized in the furnace at the temperature of 550°C. Textural properties of activated carbons were obtained based on the adsorption-desorption isotherms of nitrogen at −196°C and carbon dioxide at 0°C. The specific surface areas of activated carbons were calculated by the Brunauer – Emmett – Teller equation. The volumes of micropores were obtained by density functional theory method. The highest CO2 adsorption was 9.54 mmol/cm3 at 0°C – and 8.50 mmol/cm3 at 25°C.
Combination of mesoporous titanium dioxide with MoS2 nanosheets for high photocatalytic activity
Authors: Karimi Loghman 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This study presents a facile approach for the preparation of MoS2 nanosheet decorated by porous titanium dioxide with effective photocatalytic activity. Mesoporous titanium dioxide nanostructures first synthesized by a hydrothermal process using titanium (III) chloride and then the MoS2/TiO2 were prepared through mixing of MoS2 nanosheet with mesoporous titanium dioxide under ultrasonic irradiation. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The results showed that the nanocomposite has mesoporous structure with specific surface area of 176.4 m2/g and pore diameter of 20 nm. The as-prepared MoS2/TiO2 nanocomposites exhibited outstanding photocatalytic activity for dye degradation under sunlight irradiation, which could be attributed to synergistic effect between the molybdenum disulfide nanosheet and mesoporous titanium dioxide. The photocatalytic performance achieved is about 2.2 times higher than that of mesoporous TiO2 alone. It is believed that the extended light absorption ability and the large specific surface area of the 2D MoS2 nanosheets in the nanocomposite, leading to the enhanced photocatalytic degradation activity.
The Directive 2014/95/EU – Is there a “New” Beginning for CSR in Romania?
Authors: Ogrean Claudia 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The global commandments of sustainable development, assumed and translated by the EU into a series of communications and resolutions, have found themselves a new (and more powerful) expression into the “Directive 2014/95/EU (…) as regards disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by certain large undertakings and groups”; in order to increase the transparency of their sustainability-related actions and results, these companies need to report (starting from 2018, by referring to the financial year 2017) information “relating to, as a minimum, environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights, anti-corruption and bribery matters”. As regards the Romanian companies, although they have had a relatively delayed start in terms of embracing CSR initiatives and practices (and SCR reporting respectively), the Directive 2014/95/EU could represent a great opportunity for diminishing the gap – if properly internalized and strategically operationalized. The paper aims to perform a strategic diagnosis analysis on the CSR practices and CSR reporting in Romania, on the threshold of the Directive 2014/95/EU enforcement, in order to make an effective prognosis on its consequences and impacts.
DHEA protects mitochondria against dual modes of apoptosis and necroptosis in human granulosa HO23 cells
Authors: Tsui Kuan-Hao , Wang Peng-Hui , Lin Li-Te , Li Chia-Jung 
Published: June 2017

Because ovarian granulosa cells are essential for oocyte maturation and development, we validated human granulosa HO23 cells to evaluate the ability of the DHEA to prevent cell death after starvation. The present study was aimed to investigate whether DHEA could protect against starvation-induced apoptosis and necroptosis in human oocyte granulosa HO23 cells. The starvation was induced by treatment of serum-free (SF) medium for 4 h in vitro. Starvation-induced mitochondrial depolarization, cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation were largely prevented by DHEA in HO23 cells. We found that treatment with DHEA can restore starvation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and mitochondrial membrane potential imbalance. In addition, treatment of DHEA prevents cell death via upregulation of cytochrome c and downregulation of BAX in mitochondria. Most importantly, DHEA is ameliorated to mitochondrial function mediated through the decrease in mitochondrial ROS, maintained mitochondrial morphology, and enhancing the ability of cell proliferation and ROS scavenging. Our present data strongly indicate that DHEA reduces programmed cell death (apoptosis and necroptosis) in granulosa HO23 cells through multiple interactions with the mitochondrion-dependent programmed cell death pathway. Taken together, our data suggest that the presence of DHEA could be beneficial to protect human oocyte granulosa HO23 cells under in vitro culture conditions during various assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs.

McClintock: An Integrated Pipeline for Detecting Transposable Element Insertions in Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequencing Data
Authors: Nelson Michael G , Linheiro Raquel S , Bergman Casey M 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Transposable element (TE) insertions are among the most challenging types of variants to detect in genomic data because of their repetitive nature and complex mechanisms of replication . Nevertheless, the recent availability of large resequencing data sets has spurred the development of many new methods to detect TE insertions in whole-genome shotgun sequences. Here we report an integrated bioinformatics pipeline for the detection of TE insertions in whole-genome shotgun data, called McClintock (https://github.com/bergmanlab/mcclintock), which automatically runs and standardizes output for multiple TE detection methods. We demonstrate the utility of McClintock by evaluating six TE detection methods using simulated and real genome data from the model microbial eukaryote, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We find substantial variation among McClintock component methods in their ability to detect nonreference TEs in the yeast genome, but show that nonreference TEs at nearly all biologically realistic locations can be detected in simulated data by combining multiple methods that use split-read and read-pair evidence. In general, our results reveal that split-read methods detect fewer nonreference TE insertions than read-pair methods, but generally have much higher positional accuracy. Analysis of a large sample of real yeast genomes reveals that most McClintock component methods can recover known aspects of TE biology in yeast such as the transpositional activity status of families, target preferences, and target site duplication structure, albeit with varying levels of accuracy. Our work provides a general framework for integrating and analyzing results from multiple TE detection methods, as well as useful guidance for researchers studying TEs in yeast resequencing data.
Bayesian Networks Illustrate Genomic and Residual Trait Connections in Maize (Zea mays L.)
Authors: Töpner Katrin , Rosa Guilherme J M , Gianola Daniel , Schön Chris-Carolin 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Relationships among traits were investigated on the genomic and residual levels using novel methodology. This included inference on these relationships via Bayesian networks and an assessment of the networks with structural equation models. The methodology employed three steps. First, a Bayesian multiple-trait Gaussian model was fitted to the data to decompose phenotypic values into their genomic and residual components. Second, genomic and residual network structures among traits were learned from estimates of these two components. Network learning was performed using six different algorithmic settings for comparison, of which two were score-based and four were constraint-based approaches. Third, structural equation model analyses ranked the networks in terms of goodness of fit and predictive ability, and compared them with the standard multiple-trait fully recursive network. The methodology was applied to experimental data representing the European heterotic maize pools Dent and Flint (Zea mays L.). Inferences on genomic and residual trait connections were depicted separately as directed acyclic graphs. These graphs provide information beyond mere pairwise genetic or residual associations between traits, illustrating for example conditional independencies and hinting at potential causal links among traits. Network analysis suggested some genetic correlations as potentially spurious. Genomic and residual networks were compared between Dent and Flint.

Published: June 2017

As taxas de abandono psicoterápico na infância e adolescência são altas, entretanto, são poucos os trabalhos dirigidos para essas faixas etárias. Este artigo investiga o processo terapêutico de um caso de abandono de psicoterapia psicanalítica de uma adolescente. Para tal, foram avaliadas 20 sessões da psicoterapia através do Adolescent Psychotherapy Q-Set (APQ), instrumento que descreve atitudes e comportamentos do paciente e do terapeuta, bem como das interações terapeuta/paciente nas sessões terapêuticas. A análise do APQ foi integrada aos aspectos dinâmicos da paciente e associada às anotações clínicas fornecidas pela terapeuta para a elaboração do entendimento clínico do processo. Concluiu-se que a não aquisição de insight da paciente, aliado a um estilo defensivo imaturo constituíram fatores preditivos ao abandono psicoterápico.

Authors: Pan Pradyumna 
Published: June 2017

Background: Lymphangiomas are benign hamartomatous lymphatic tumors, characterized by multiple communicating lymphatic channels and cystic spaces. They occur in nearly all regions of the body but are most frequently seen in the neck (75%), axilla (20%), and inguinal areas (2%). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intralesional bleomycin sclerotherapy in the treatment of cystic lymphangioma in children and to determine the incidence of complications in the treatment.Methods: This is a prospective study of 36 children diagnosed with cystic lymphangioma and treated with intralesional injection of bleomycin aqueous solution from 2008 to 2015.Results: Complete resolution was seen in (16/36) of lesions, (17/36) had a good response and (3/36) had a poor response. The tumour recurred in 3 patients. No other serious complications or side effects were observed.Conclusions: Intralesional bleomycin therapy was very effective in the treatment of cystic lymphangioma. Our results were comparable to other published studies. Bleomycin administered as intralesional injection was found to be safe as there was no serious complication or side effect observed in this study.
PROVOCAÇÕES ÀS INTERSCEÇÕES ENTRE A SOCIOLINGUÍSTICA E A ÉTICA DO DISCURSO DE KARL-OTTO APEL
Authors: Dos Prazeres Rogério Santos 
Published: June 2017

<p>O texto de Régine Robin nos esclarece que a pretensão de buscar a especificação do objeto da sociolinguística não é o mais importante. Entretanto, convém pertinentemente tratar da retomada metodológica crítica ou o uso da metodologia crítica relacionada à sociolinguística. Justamente pelo desencadeamento das reflexões que ela, a sociolinguística, provoca. Numa análise alinhada com às observações teóricas da escola culturalista, acerca das possibilidades entre cultura e linguagem, Robin expõe em seu texto as dificuldades que problematizam o estudo da sociolinguística enquanto estudo científico da linguagem. No presente trabalho, a intenção é contextualizar a perspectiva de sociolinguística primada na publicação de Robin, que é da década de setenta. Contudo, nota-se que questionamentos perpetrados por ela à época permanecem pertinentes hodierno. Sobremodo, situaremos a discussão conservando autores que ela mesma cita em seu texto. A título de evidenciarmos as aporias denunciadas à época. Coerentemente, apontaremos a possibilidade de convergência com a Ética do Discurso de Karl-Otto Apel,uma abordagem atual da linguagem na filosofia. Isso, no sentido de propormos uma investigação mais apurada para saber das consequências de um possível aporte teórico à sociolinguística. Inclusive visando-se possíveis conexões do conhecimento sociolinguístico também discutível na filosofia.</p><div> </div>
Message from the Winners

Published: June 2017

We are most honored to have been selected as winners of the First JDR Award – an unexpected surprise because we did not realize that we had contributed so much to the Journal of Disaster Research (JDR). The JDR provided us with a fine opportunity to present our results on a project of the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS), making our work known to the world-wide scientific community. SATREPS is sponsored by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
From 2010 to 2015, Japanese and Peruvian researchers conducted a SATREPS project, Enhancement of Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Technology in Peru. To announce our research output, we chose the JDR and had our work published in 36 articles in two special issues, in 2013 and 2014. The JDR’s prompt peer reviews and publication processes are really helpful to projects such as SATREPS, which have time limits. Our results would otherwise have been published much later.
Congratulations on the JDR’s first-decade anniversary! We believe the JDR is an important journal in the natural hazard and disaster management field as it has been recognized as a Scopus indexed journal. The JDR’s open access and the fact that it enables papers to be downloaded free of charge from the web site is very helpful and convenient to readers and helps authors become known to broader audiences. We hope the JDR will get the Impact Factor of Thomson Reuters, becoming a major source of information in the disaster sciences field.

Published: June 2017

Objectives. To determine the prevalence and patterns of polysubstance use among US reproductive-aged women who use opioids for nonmedical purposes. Methods. We used the National Survey of Drug Use and Health (2005–2014) data on female respondents aged 18 to 44 years reporting nonmedical opioid use in the past 30 days (unweighted n = 4498). We categorized patterns of polysubstance use in the past 30 days, including cigarettes, binge drinking, and other legal and illicit substances and reported prevalence adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, and educational attainment. Results. Of all women with nonmedical opioid use, 11% reported only opioid use. Polysubstance use was highest in non-Hispanic White women and women with lower educational attainment. The most frequently used other substances among women using opioids nonmedically were cigarettes (56.2% smoked > 5 cigarettes per day), binge drinking (49.7%), and marijuana (32.4%). Polysubstance use was similarly prevalent among pregnant women with nonmedical opioid use. Conclusions. Polysubstance use is highly prevalent among US reproductive-aged women reporting nonmedical opioid use. Public Health Implications. Interventions are needed that address concurrent use of multiple substances.

Published: June 2017

Objectives. To estimate the unintentional poisoning burden and risk factors in China from 1990 to 2015. Methods. We extracted data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 to compare mortality, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost, years lived with a disability, and risk factors of unintentional poisoning in China. We determined the median of the percent change and 95% uncertainty interval for the period between 1990 and 2015. Results. The age-standardized unintentional poisoning death rate decreased by 61.8% from 1990 (4.1 per 100 000) to 2015 (1.6 per 100 000). The age-standardized prevalence decreased from 1990 (87.9 per 100 000) to 2010 (39.0 per 100 000), but rebounded in 2015 (42.6 per 100 000). All risk factors combined accounted for 14.9% of unintentional poisoning DALYs in 2015. The leading risk factors for unintentional poisoning DALYs were alcohol and drug use and occupational risks. Conclusions. China has made substantial progress in reducing the mortality attributable to unintentional poisoning, but the prevalence and absolute number of patients has been increasing again since 2010. The growing contribution from alcohol and drug use requires increased attention.
Evaluation of Fifteen Cultivars of Cool‐Season Perennial Grasses as Biofuel Feedstocks Using Near‐Infrared
Authors: Payne Courtney , Wolfrum Edward J. , Nagle Nick , Brummer Joe E. , Hansen Neil 
Published: June 2017

Core Ideas
Harvest yield varies more across species than sugar content and accessibility.
Harvest yield and sugar accessibility are both critical parameters for conversion.
Near‐infrared/partial least square models are valuable for quickly evaluating biomass for bioconversion.
Cool‐season (C3) perennial grasses have a long history of cultivation and use as animal forage. This study evaluated 15 cultivars of C3 grasses, when harvested in late June for increased biomass yield, as biofuel feedstocks using near‐ infrared spectroscopy (NIR) based partial least square (PLS) analysis. These grasses were grown near Iliff, CO, for three growing seasons (2009–2011). The carbohydrate composition and released carbohydrates (total glucose and xylose released from dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis [EH]) were predicted for samples from the study using NIR/PLS. The results were analyzed from a biofuels perspective, where composition combined with harvest yield provided information on the carbohydrate yield available for biomass conversion processes, and released carbohydrate yield provided information on the accessibility of those carbohydrates to conversion methods. The range in harvest yields varied more among cultivars (2900 kg ha−1) than did the range in carbohydrate composition (56.0 g kg−1) or released carbohydrates (60.0 g kg−1). When comparing carbohydrate yield to released carbohydrate yield between cultivars, an efficiency as high as 87% release of available carbohydrates was obtained for pubescent wheatgrass [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey ‘Mansaka’], with a low of 71% for hybrid wheatgrass [Elytrigia repens (L.) nevski ´ pseudoroegneria spicata (PURSH) A. Love ‘Newhy’]. Though hybrid wheatgrass had the lowest release efficiency, its high harvest yield resulted in release of more total carbohydrates than half the other cultivars analyzed. This suggested that harvest yield, carbohydrate release, and carbohydrate composition, togetherplay significant roles in biofuel feedstock evaluation.
