Scott convergence and fuzzy Scott topology on L-posets
Authors: Liu Hongping , Chen Ling 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
We firstly generalize the fuzzy way-below relation on an L-poset, and consider its continuity by means of this relation. After that, we introduce a kind of stratified L-generalized convergence structure on an L-poset. In terms of that, L-fuzzy Scott topology and fuzzy Scott topology are considered, and the properties of fuzzy Scott topology are discussed in detail. At last, we investigate the Scott convergence of stratified L-filters on an L-poset, and show that an L-poset is continuous if and only if the Scott convergence on it coincides with the convergence with respect to the corresponding topological space.

Authors: Patel Hardik S. , Meher Ramakanta 
Published: June 2017

AbstractIn this paper, the counter - current imbibition phenomenon is discussed in an inclined heterogeneous porous media with the consideration of two types of porous materials like volcanic sand and fine sand. Adomian decomposition method is applied to find the saturation of wetting phase and the recovery rate of the reservoir. Finally, a simulation result is developed to study the saturation of wetting phase and the optimum recovery rate of reservoir with the choices of some interesting parametric values. This problem has a great importance in the field of oil recovery process.

Authors: Bassaneze Thiago , Gonçalves José Eduardo , Faria Juliano Ferreira , Palma Rogério Tadeu , Waisberg Jaques 
Published: June 2017

Abstract

Background
The aim of the study was to evaluate the added value of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in patients with rectal cancer who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The use of DW-MRI for response evaluation in rectal cancer still remains a widely investigated issue, as the accurate detection of pathologic complete response (pCR) is critical in making therapeutic decisions.

Patients and methods
Thirty-three patients with locally advanced rectal cancer were evaluated retrospectively by MRI in addition to diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and its ADC pre- and post-neoadjuvant CRT. These patients subsequently underwent curative-intent surgery. Tumor staging by MRI and ADC value were compared with histopathological findings of the surgical specimen.

Results
MRI in addition to DWI had a sensitivity of 96.1%, specificity of 71.4%, positive predictive value of 92.5%, and negative predictive value of 83.3% in the detection of pCR. The pre-CRT ADC alone could not reliably predict the pCR group. Post-CRT ADC cutoff value of 1.49 x 10−3 mm2/s had the highest accuracy and allowed a 16.7% increase in negative predictive value and 3.9% increase in sensitivity. Patients with pCR to neoadjuvant treatment differed from the other groups in their absolute values of post-CRT ADC (p < 0.01).

Conclusions
The use of post-CRT ADC increased the diagnostic performance of MRI in addition to DWI in predicting the final pathologic staging of rectal carcinoma.
The “hamburger” story; or on Anglicisms in Polish
Authors: Polok Krzysztof 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The paper makes an attempt to analyse the forms of co-functioning of world languages, taking into account the fact that popular prestigious languages exert influence upon a number of less popular ones, thereby dictating the forms of their further development. Thus, the thesis that media-favoured languages used by politically salient super-powers effectively influence the expressions accepted in a number of “less successful” languages is identified, evidenced and diagnosed. Furthermore, the latter part of the paper stresses the issues concerning the observation that English, recognized as the most prominent donor language, creates many forms of description generally used in many other languages to denote and define similar forms of experiences. Research aimed at discovering the ways in which English influences recipient languages, in this case Polish, was carried out. Our principal assumption was that there exist at least two types of numerous contacts between a donor and recipient language: ones that can be called external (when the donor language mostly influences the recipient one) and ones possibly labelled as internal (when various, normally observed forms of co-operation between the two languages can be traced). As in both cases some semantic bonds can be found, the subsequent research describes said bonds, naming them and uncovering the nature of such co-existence. The results of the research indicate clear forms of semantic co-existence showing that numerous borrowings and loanwords found in the recipient language are widely verbalized and deeply ingrained in the cultural linguistic interdependencies.
Being a Young Jobseeker in an Emerging Economy and Circular Economy – A Comparative Analysis of the Turkish and Hungarian Situations
Authors: Yavuzaslan Abdulkerim , Barişçil Ahmet 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The goal of the present paper is to analyze the number of young job seekers and their particularities in two emerging economies, Turkey and Hungary, with help of the quantitative approach. Even though the two nations share the title of emerging economies as they have produced a relatively spectacular growth in the recent past, they also present a number of historical, political, cultural and economic discrepancies. Unemployment is one of the negative aspects of market economy, and a sign of the level of solidarity within the society, that of the respect and the utility of the young, the quality and market conformity of the educational system and many other facets of human existence. The number of young jobseekers can measure the efficiency of the policy makers and the managers but also depends on external and internal factors such as the habitat, the sex and the educational background of the young or the subsequent political and economic turmoil. The comparison conducted on the basis of data analysis of the two systems is aimed at proving that similarities and differences, results and failures can be a lesson to be learned for both newly developing countries.
Interaction of tubulin and protein kinase CK2 in Trypanosoma equiperdum
Authors: Boscán Beatriz E. , Uzcanga Graciela L. , Calabokis Maritza , Camargo Rocío , Aponte Frank , Bubis José 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
A polypeptide band with an apparent molecular weight of 55,000 was phosphorylated in vitro in whole-cell lysates of Trypanosoma equiperdum. This band corresponds to tubulin as demonstrated by immunoprecipitation of the phosphorylated polypeptide from T. equiperdum extracts when anti-α and anti-β tubulin monoclonal antibodies were employed. A parasite protein kinase CK2 was in charge of modifying tubulin given that common mammalian CK2 inhibitors such as emodin and GTP, hindered the phosphorylation of tubulin and exogenously added casein. Interestingly, a divalent cation-dependent translocation of the T. equiperdum tubulin and the CK2 responsible for its phosphorylation was noticed, suggesting a direct interaction between these two proteins. Additionally, this fraction of tubulin and its kinase coeluted using separations based on parameters as different as charge (DEAE-Sepharose anion-exchange chromatography) and size (Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration chromatography). Analyses by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblot of the purified and radioactively labeled fraction containing both tubulin and the CK2 enzyme, established the phosphorylation of a single band that was recognized by anti-CK2 α-subunit and anti-tubulin antibodies. All these findings revealed a physical association between a pool of tubulin and a CK2 in T. equiperdum.
DSM-5 diagnosis of Internet Gaming Disorder: Some ways forward in overcoming issues and concerns in the gaming studies field
Authors: Kuss Daria J. , Griffiths Mark D. , Pontes Halley M. 
Published: June 2017

Background and aims
The current DSM-5 diagnosis of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013) has led to a number of issues and concerns that we highlighted in our recent paper (Kuss, Griffiths, & Pontes, 2017). Experts in the field responded to our evaluation of these issues resulting in six commentaries.

Methods
In this paper, we offer responses to the six commentaries to move the scientific field forward. All of the responses to our original paper highlighted many conceptual, theoretical, and/or methodological problems with the proposed IGD diagnosis as outlined in the DSM-5. We outline some ways forward in overcoming issues and concerns in the gaming studies field.

Results
We argue that rather than stigmatizing gaming per se, the role of scientists and practitioners is to establish a clear-cut distinction between someone who may use games excessively but non-problematically and someone who is experiencing significant impairment in their daily lives as a consequence of their excessive gaming. This responsibility needs to be shared by popular media who are often quick to build a moral panic around gaming behaviors, often based on cherry-picking specific case studies and pieces of research which support their headlines.

Conclusion
Researchers, practitioners, gaming developers, and the media need to work together and collaboratively to build a realistic and comprehensive understanding of gaming as a normal, enjoyable, and often beneficial sociocultural practice, which for a small minority of excessive users may be associated with the experience of addiction-related symptoms that may require professional support.

Published: June 2017

* Fractures of the talus are uncommon injuries that can be devastating for the patient and challenging to treat.* A dual-incision approach is the current standard of care for performing open reduction and internal fixation for displaced fractures of the talus.* Emergency operative treatment is recommended for an extruded talus, open fractures or dislocations, and dislocations that fail closed reduction and compromise the skin.* There is no authoritative clinical evidence to support emergency definitive surgical fixation. Rather, delayed treatment may prevent further soft-tissue insult.* Posttraumatic arthritis is the most common complication of talar fractures or dislocations, but osteonecrosis and wound complications are also prevalent concerns.
Long‐Term Effects of Mineral Nitrogen Fertilizer on Irrigated Maize and Soil Properties
Authors: Martínez E. , Maresma A. , Biau A. , Cela S. , Berenguer P. , Santiveri F. , Michelena A. , Lloveras J. 
Published: June 2017

Core Ideas
Grain yield, biomass, N uptake, SPAD units, soil N levels and N efficiciencies were affected by the N application rate.
Maximum grain yields required 203 kg N ha−1 of available N in the 0‐ to 30‐cm layer soil.
Sampling to a depth of 0 to 30 cm provided similar correlations than sampling to 0 to 60 and 0 to 90 cm.
Mineral N fertilization increased soil organic C stock.
Nitrogen is a key determinant of growth and grain yield (GY) in maize (Zea mays L.) and is therefore economically and environmentally important. We investigated the performance of maize crops in a 12‐yr experiment (2002–2007, 2010–2015) under sprinkler irrigation in a petrocalcic calcixerept soil in northeastern Spain, with controlled mineral N application rates (0, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, and 400 kg N ha−1 yr−1). The application rate affected maize GY, biomass, N uptake, SPAD units, soil N levels, N efficiencies, and soil organic carbon (SOC). Average maximum GY's (∼15 Mg ha−1) required 203 kg N ha−1 of available N (defined as initial soil NO3− plus N fertilizer) in the 0‐ to 30‐cm horizon, confirming the importance of the soil N content. Nitrate levels in the 0‐ to 30‐cm horizon for maximum yields achieved a R2 value in the plateau fitting model similar to the 0‐ to 60‐ and 0‐ to 90‐cm horizons. The GY's increased at a rate of 192 kg ha−1 yr−1, suggesting a combination of genetic improvement in the hybrids and also an improvement in agronomic management. The 200 kg N ha−1 fertilizer treatment achieved almost the highest GY's (∼14 Mg ha−1) with simultaneous high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) (0.83 kg kg−1). Mineral N fertilization also increased the stock of SOC in the 0‐ to 30‐cm horizon.

Published: June 2017

This study presents data on the application of two different processing techniques of foot parameters and the comparison of their validity and reliability in adults. Twenty-four healthy participants volunteered took part in the study. Three digital scans were obtained from each participant by one experienced investigator. The foot parameters were: Clarke index, ‘KY’ index of Sztriter-Godunov, heel angle and Wejsflog index. The parameters were identified into two ways: manually using software SolidWorks and by a new computer-aided system. The results of the Spearman's rank correlation suggest a strong positive relationship between parameters obtained from the computer-aided system and manually counted (R> 0.9). The current study suggests that computer-aided system is a practical tool for foot type assessment in adults and could be recommended for both research and clinical applications.
Preferences for Internet-Based Mental Health Interventions in an Adult Online Sample: Findings From an Online Community Survey
Authors: Batterham Philip J , Calear Alison L 
Published: June 2017

Background
Despite extensive evidence that Internet interventions are effective in treating mental health problems, uptake of Internet programs is suboptimal. It may be possible to make Internet interventions more accessible and acceptable through better understanding of community preferences for delivery of online programs.

Objective
This study aimed to assess community preferences for components, duration, frequency, modality, and setting of Internet interventions for mental health problems.

Methods
A community-based online sample of 438 Australian adults was recruited using social media advertising and administered an online survey on preferences for delivery of Internet interventions, along with scales assessing potential correlates of these preferences.

Results
Participants reported a preference for briefer sessions, although they recognized a trade-off between duration and frequency of delivery. No clear preference for the modality of delivery emerged, although a clear majority preferred tailored programs. Participants preferred to access programs through a computer rather than a mobile device. Although most participants reported that they would seek help for a mental health problem, more participants had a preference for face-to-face sources only than online programs only. Younger, female, and more educated participants were significantly more likely to prefer Internet delivery.

Conclusions
Adults in the community have a preference for Internet interventions with short modules that are tailored to individual needs. Individuals who are reluctant to seek face-to-face help may also avoid Internet interventions, suggesting that better implementation of existing Internet programs requires increasing acceptance of Internet interventions and identifying specific subgroups who may be resistant to seeking help.

Noninvasive Body Contouring: Literature Review and Summary of Objective Data
Authors: Bernstein Daniel , Farberg Aaron S. , Khorasani Hooman , Kriegel David 
Published: June 2017

Background: There is increasing demand for noninvasive body contouring but objective data is difficult to compare between modalities. Currently, the most accepted forms of noninvasive body contouring are cryolipolyisis (Cryo), focused ultrasound (FUS), radiofrequency (RF), and low level laser therapy (LLLT).Objective: To summarize the objective data on noninvasive body contouring.Methods: In October 2016, a pubmed search was performed with terms “noninvasive body contouring” or “non-invasive body contouring.” The search was limited to human studies in English on the four major modalities. Results: 55 articles yielded data from 3649 patients. The most well studied modality was Cryo and the least was RF. Decreased abdominal/flank localized adiposity was most the most common endpoint reported. Both the minimum and maximum reported decreases in abdominal girth were from studies using RF (1.4cm and 7.4cm, respectively). Side effects were most common and significant with Cryo and absent with LLLT.Conclusions: Noninvasive body contouring has a significant amount of objective data available in the literature to date. Reductions of localized adiposity are clinically and statistically significant but modest. To date, the best reported positive results have been obtained with RF and the lowest risk of side effects is with LLLT.
