Drinking with parents
Authors: Pape Hilde , Bye Elin K. 
Published: November 2017

Aims: Is drinking with parents (DWP) likely to curb or to encourage adolescent heavy drinking? The scant number of studies addressing this issue have arrived at contradictory conclusions, which may reflect that different measures of DWP have been used. We pursued the assumption, taking potential confounding related to parental alcohol-specific rule-setting and parenting style into account. Method: Data stem from the Norwegian 2015 ESPAD survey of 15–16 year olds. Drinking with parents at the last drinking event and the frequency of DWP in the past year were assessed among those who had consumed alcohol ( n = 1374). Severe drunkenness and binge drinking in the past month were the outcomes. Parental covariates were accounted for in Poisson regression models. Results: One in five (21%) had been drinking with their parents the last time they consumed alcohol, and this DWP measure was strongly and inversely related to both drunkenness and binge drinking. Adolescents who reported no DWP episodes in the past year (61%) and those who reported 1–2 such episodes (30%) barely differed with respect to the two outcomes. More frequent DWP (9%) was significantly associated with an increased risk of heavy episodic drinking, but the statistical impact on severe drunkenness was no longer significant when adjusting for parental covariates. Conclusions: Different measures of DWP were related differently to adolescent heavy drinking, indicating that studies based on DWP at the last drinking event are biased in favour of the view that adolescents may “learn” sensible drinking by consuming alcohol with their parents.

Background CT perfusion may improve diagnostic accuracy in posterior circulation stroke. The posterior circulation Acute Stroke Prognosis Early CT score (pc-ASPECTS) on Computed Tomography Angiography source images (CTA-SI) predicts functional outcome in patients with basilar artery occlusion. Aims We assessed the prognostic value of pc-ASPECTS on CT perfusion in patients with vertebral and basilar artery occlusion (VBAO) in comparison with CTA-SI. Methods Whole-brain CT perfusion from consecutive stroke patients with VBAO at four stroke centers was retrospectively analyzed. pc-ASPECTS – a 10-point score assessing hypoattenuation on CTA-SI – was calculated from CT perfusion parameters as focally reduced cerebral blood flow or cerebral blood volume, focally increased time to peak of the deconvolved tissue residue function (Tmax) or mean transit time. Two investigators independently reviewed the images. Reliability was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient. Good outcome was defined as modified Rankin scale ≤3 at three months. Results We included 60 patients with VBAO. After assessment of four CT perfusion maps simultaneously, area-under-ROC curve (AROC) was 0.83 (95%CI 0.72–0.93) for cerebral blood volume, 0.76 (95%CI 0.64–0.89) for cerebral blood flow, 0.77 (95%CI 0.64–0.89) for Tmax, 0.70 (95%CI 0.56–0.84) for mean transit time versus area-under-ROC curve 0.64 (95%CI 0.50–0.79) for CTA-SI. Cerebral blood volume had greater accuracy compared with CTA-SI for poor outcome (p = 0.04). In logistic regression analysis, cerebral blood volume pc-ASPECTS≤8 was independently associated with poor outcome (OR 9.3 95%CI 2.2–41; p = 0.003, adjusted for age and clinical severity). Inter-rater agreement was substantial for cerebral blood volume pc-ASPECTS (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.82 95%CI 0.71–0.90 versus 0.67 for CTA-SI 95%CI 0.43–0.81). Conclusions Cerebral blood volume pc-ASPECTS may identify VBAO patients at higher risk of disability.
Is college education an equalizer for social disparities in health literacy? A case study in Shanghai, China
Authors: Hu Anning , Yang Xiaozhao Yousef 
Published: November 2017

Objectives: The aim of the study was to illustrate the immediate effect of the college education process (across college grades) on the strength of association between parental education and college attendees’ health literacy. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis was conducted based on data from a random sample of students in one university in Shanghai, China ( N = 574). Exploratory factor analysis was used to generate factors of different dimensions of health literacy. Ordinary least square regression models were estimated to investigate how college education process alters the family-based disparity in health literacy. Results: The link between parental education and health-related skills did not vary significantly across grades of participants, but participants in their third ( p < 0.05) and fourth year ( p < 0.001) revealed a significantly weaker association between health-promoting proactivity and parental education, relative to the first-year counterparts. Also, the impact of parental education on health-related attitudes significantly declined among the fourth-year seniors, compared with first-year students ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: Higher education experience is an important mechanism to alleviate the socioeconomic gap in health literacy. Such an equalizer effect, nevertheless, is contingent on the particular dimensions of health literacy.

Study Design: Systematic review. Objectives: The objective of this systematic review was to answer 2 key questions: (1) What is the clinical presentation and probability of symptomatic improvement following treatment for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) of the spine? (2) What is the overall survival of patients diagnosed with spinal metastases from RCC? Methods: A literature review was performed to identify articles that reported on survival, clinical outcomes, and/or prognostic factors in the RCC population with spinal metastases from 1986 to 2016. Results: Forty-eight articles (807 patients) were included. The Fuhrman Nuclear Grade has been significantly associated with survival in previous studies but was underpowered in the current study. The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Score (MSKCC/Motzer) was also underpowered in the current study. From the time of spinal metastasis, the mean and median survival for patients with previously diagnosed primary RCC was 8.75 and 11.7 months, respectively, whereas synchronously diagnosed patients (primary RCC and spinal metastasis) had a mean and median survival of 6.75 and 11 months, respectively. Patients with a “low” (0-8), “intermediate” (9-11), or “high” (12-15) revised Tokuhashi score at initial presentation had a median survival of 5.4, 11.7, and 32.9 months, respectively. Conclusion: Patients with either a synchronous or latent diagnosis of RCC survived greater than 6 months from the time of presentation. Initial Furhman grade, Tokuhashi score, and MSKCC/Motzer can be useful tools in informing patient-specific prognosis for those with metastatic RCC of the spine.

Random semilinear system of differential equations with impulses
Authors: Baliki A , Nieto JJ , Ouahab A , Sinacer ML 
Published: November 2017

AbstractIn this paper, we study the existence of solutions for systems of random semilinear impulsive differential equations. The existence results are established by means of a new version of Perov’s, a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder’s fixed point principles combined with a technique based on vector-valued metrics and convergent to zero matrices. Also, we give a random abstract formulation to Sadovskii’s fixed point theorem in a vector-valued Banach space. Examples illustrating the results are included.

AbstractDespite the documented link between the presence of family-professional partnership and successful inclusion in schools, these trusting relationships are more of an exception than a reality. We demonstrate the need for a framework to organize research, policy, and practice on family-professional partnership; describe a contemporary framework, the Sunshine Model, that relies on a tiered and multidimensional approach to ensure family-professional partnership with all families; and illustrate how this framework can guide research, policy, and practice in family-professional partnership in inclusive schools.
The curator’s sketchbook: Reflections on learning to see
Authors: Mida Ingrid 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This paper advocates for the use of drawing as an interdisciplinary research tool and argues in favour of drawing as a method by which to improve the observation and reading of artefacts. I suggest that the process of drawing, in slowing down the process of looking, can facilitate close observation of artefacts and thereby help to reveal subtle clues and hidden narratives. I call this method of attentive looking The Slow Approach to Seeing. The genesis of that idea and its extension as a pedagogic tool are described herein. This methodological position is supported with reference to John Ruskin, John Berger and James Elkins.
First steps towards a model of style grammar in drawing
Authors: Sweo Jennie 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
A process for identifying key elements that make up a drawing style would make it much easier to teach drawing students how to borrow critical elements from experienced artists and art connoisseurs’ different ways to see drawings. This paper starts developing a model of style grammar in drawing. A comprehensive literature review suggests line length, width and expressiveness, local and global tone, pattern and depth as expressed through form, outline, shape or object position are likely to be the most important traits to a drawing style. To test and validate the list based on human perception, a multidimensional scaling card sorting procedure was employed. Quantitative estimates of the visual features produced four dimensions; smudge, depth, tone and line expressiveness. Future statistical analysis may prove that the four identified dimensions will provide significance for comparison measures of style that can guide the development of a rule set for intelligent borrowing and design reuse.
There is drawing and there is laughter
Authors: Hewish Andrew 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
An examination of the artist/cartoonist David Shrigley’s work through the prism of philosopher Simon Critchley’s writing reveals a melancholic space of play where humour and obliquity allows the difficult but necessary expression of the unspeakable. A historical overview of melancholy and a close reading of the philosophical and psychoanalytical subtexts of humour in and through drawing opens up a reading of Shrigley’s work illuminated by the triad of nihilism, humour and a long historical strain of melancholy. Critichley, whose work on humour sits within the larger context of his work on nihilism, expands from Freud on melancholy and humour to articulate a self that is constituted as a mournful melancholic. Shrigley’s manipulations of the tropes of drawing produce a wistful ironic distance equivalent to Critchley’s self that ‘smiles and finds ourselves ridiculous in our own impossible mourning’. Shrigley’s work explodes this state towards materialism, immateriality and loss apposite to the work of Benjamin, Derrida and Agamben.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Carcass and meat quality of male and female Anatolian water buffaloes were investigated using 10 carcasses from each gender. Gender had no influence on carcass characteristics, except warm carcass weight, which was 13% higher in males compared to females. Meat from male water buffaloes had higher ultimate pH and lightness (L*), but lower redness (a*) values than females. Meat samples aged for 21 days had lower values for expressed juice, cooking loss and Warner Bratzler shear force compared with those of 7-day aged ones. Meat samples aged for 21 days had higher L* value at 1 h and 24 h after cutting, a* value at 1 h after cutting compared with those of 7-day aged meat samples. Gender had no effect on meat sensory characteristics. Meat from male water buffaloes had higher proportions of C14:0, C18:3 n-3, C20:2 n-6, C20:3 n-3 and C20:4 n-6 and Σn-3 fatty acids and lower Σn-6/Σn-3 ratio compared with female water buffaloes.
Analysis of Woven Fabric at the Place of the Sewn Seam
Authors: Rogina-Car Beti , Schwarz Ivana , Kovačević Stana 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Key importance and the role of sewn seam in the woven fabric are presented. Fabric properties in the places joined with the sewn seam on which garment durability, applicability, appearance and quality depend are highlighted. Seam location is usually the weakest spot on the garment, especially when the great loads are present at these places. Mechanical properties of the sewn fabrics were investigated in different test conditions. The influence of the load on the sewn seam is analyzed in time intervals. Sample with seam have approximately 70% lower breaking properties (breaking force and elongation at break) than the sample without seam. By preloading the seam fabrics with 30%, 50% and 70% of elongation at break, for a 3-h period, the effect on mechanical properties were tested and the differences in pre-stretching intensity were observed. By conducting such test, it is expected that the fabric experience further degradation and that breaking properties further reduce, but the exact opposite occurred (breaking properties, by increasing the preload, increase even more), because of various material properties (structural fabric properties, raw material characteristics, seam characteristics).

Published: November 2017

AbstractCurrently, networking has not progressed in the treatment room. Almost every medical device in the treatment room operates as a stand-alone device. In this project, we aim to develop a networked operating room called “Smart Cyber Operating Theater (SCOT)”. Medical devices are connected using Open Resource interface for the Network (ORiN) technology. In this paper, we describe the concept of the SCOT project. SCOT is integrated using the communication interface ORiN, which was originally developed for industry. One feature of ORiN is that the system can be constructed flexibly. ORiN creates abstracts of the same type of devices and increases the robustness of the system for device exchange. By using ORiN technology, we are developing new applications, such as decision-making navigation or a precision guided treatment system.
Robust Cascade Control for Chemical Reactors: An Approach based on Modelling Error Compensation
Authors: Romero-Bustamante Jorge A , Moguel-Castañeda Jazael G , Puebla Hector , Hernandez-Martinez Eliseo 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this work, a robust model-based cascade control scheme for composition regulation in chemical reactors is proposed. The controller is based on a two loop control in a composition-temperature configuration. State-observers are introduced to provide robustness to the controller via the estimation of lumped model uncertainties. The second loop is introduced with a favorable choice of the Arrhenius equation as a virtual control input. The control design is illustrated based on two cases studies, a tubular reactor exhibiting two temperature dynamics (quasi-linear and hot-spot) and a CSTR presenting multiple steady-states. Numerical results indicate that proposed controller is robust in the face of external disturbances, operation changes, and model uncertainties.
Obligations to Reduce Emissions: From the Oslo Principles to Enterprises
Authors: Sutherland Philip 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe release of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) by the activities of humans is a major contributor to current global climate change. A major environmental catastrophe caused by this climate change will be averted only if the emission of GHGs are drastically reduced. Attempts have been made to reach international agreements among nations to achieve this, but these attempts, of which the Paris Agreement is the most recent, appear to be inadequate and ineffective. A group of scholars, the Oslo group, therefore asked the question whether more comprehensive obligations that bind states and enterprises could be deduced from other sources of law. The attempts to answer these questions have culminated in the Oslo Principles on Global Climate Change Obligations. The basic methodology that was followed in drafting the Oslo Principles is described. The Oslo group concluded that several concrete obligations to mitigate climate change could be stated by reference to international and domestic law. Particular attention is given in this contribution to tort law as a basis for mitigation obligations in the Oslo Principles but some attention is also given to other areas of law. The central pillar of the Oslo Principles is the primary mitigation obligation, which according to the Principles, is imposed on states. The ambit and nature of this obligation are described. Finally, it is acknowledged that the Oslo Principles only describe rudimentary obligations on enterprises and that it is both difficult and necessary to set out mitigation obligations that can be imposed on enterprises. The contribution finally proposes that the ideas behind the Oslo Principles and United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights can be utilised in devising basic mitigation obligations for enterprises.
Civil Liability and the Challenges of Climate Change: A Functional Analysis
Authors: Hinteregger Monika 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe most recent efforts under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to seek redress for loss and damage associated with climate change impacts has triggered the interest in tort law remedies for climate change damage. This article analyses the relevance of tort law for climate change damage from a civil liability perspective. It indicates the positive features of tort law for the protection from climate change (generally available instrument for compensation of losses with considerable preventive effects), but it shows also that civil actions against the emitters of greenhouse gases for the remediation of climate change damage encounter major legal difficulties: choice of jurisdiction, enforcement of claims and some basic shortcomings of substantive tort law (narrow concept of damage, establishment of causation and fault). In order to make tort law an effective instrument for climate protection it must be adjusted to the characteristics of climate change damage. This concerns the attribution of legal standing, especially with respect to pure economic loss, a considerable extension of the right to bring collective action and, in order to solve the problem of the establishment of causation, the comprehensive recognition of proportional liability by national tort laws.The article also shows that tort liability already plays an important role for the remediation of climate change damage. This concerns liability claims against persons or institutions who are legally obliged to protect individuals or objects from harm caused by climate change (public authorities, providers of building services) and against sellers of products or providers of services who do not meet mandatory emission or energy consumption standards. Liability claims against such defendants do not encounter any of the specific problems associated with climate change damage and can serve to prevent climate change related harm.
Estimating Cross-Classified Population Counts of Multidimensional Tables: An Application to Regional Australia to Obtain Pseudo-Census Counts

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Estimating population counts for multidimensional tables based on a representative sample subject to known marginal population counts is not only important in survey sampling but is also an integral part of standard methods for simulating area-specific synthetic populations. In this article several estimation methods are reviewed, with particular focus on the iterative proportional fitting procedure and the maximum likelihood method. The performance of these methods is investigated in a simulation study for multidimensional tables, as previous studies are limited to 2 by 2 tables. The data are generated under random sampling but also under misspecification models, for which sample and target populations differ systematically. The empirical results show that simple adjustments can lead to more efficient estimators, but generally, at the expense of increased bias. The adjustments also generally improve coverage of the confidence intervals. The methods discussed in this article along with standard error estimators, are made freely available in the R package mipfp. As an illustration, the methods are applied to the 2011 Australian census data available for the Illawarra Region in order to obtain estimates for the desired three-way table for age by sex by family type with known marginal tables for age by sex and for family type.
