IONIC CROSSLINKING OF COTTON
Authors: Hauser Peter J. , Smith C.Brent , Hashem Mohamed M. 
Published: April 2016

Cellulose crosslinking is a very important textile chemical process, and is the basis for a vast array of durable press and crease-resistant finished textile products. Formaldehydecontaining N-methylol crosslinkers give fabrics desirable properties of mechanical stability (e.g., crease resistance, anti-curl, shrinkage resistance, durable-press), but also impart a loss of strength and the potential to release formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen. Other systems, such as polycarboxylic acids, have been tested with varying degrees of success. We have developed methods of forming ionic crosslinks that provide outstanding performance in crease angle recovery while completely retaining the strength of treated goods, without the potential to release any reactive materials of low molecular weight, such as formaldehyde.
Our work is based on the reactions of cellulose with materials that impart an ionic character to the cellulose; e.g., chloroacetic acid for negative charges or 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride for positive charges. These reactions produce ionic celluloses that can then absorb a polyionic material of opposite charge to form crosslinks.
Cellulose treated with cationized chitosan after carboxymethylation showed significant increases in crease recovery angles without a loss of strength.
RETRIEVAL SYSTEM OF AN APPAREL MATERIAL DATABASE: RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUE BY COMPOSITE IMPRESSION DEGREE
Authors: Masato Ishii 
Published: April 2016

This paper describes a retrieval system of an apparel material database by CID (Composite Impression Degree), composed of several kinds of impression degree of textile material. One property of textile materials is expressed in Japanese using the term ‘Fuai’1 in Japan. However because ‘Fuai’ is expressed by specialized term, its meaning cannot be understood, except by textile experts. A retrieval interface for an apparel material database system has therefore been designed with retrieval words that have been selected from impression terms used in daily life, so that it is possible to retrieve a target material using neither a technical term nor a term like ‘Fuai’.
The attribute data of the database include the results of expert evaluations of the materials using the impression terms. Therefore the retrieval engine is able to search the database for the user's target material using CID calculated from the results of the evaluation. On the other hand, since each CID has been estimated by a linear model composed of some of the material’s components, the system administrator has come to be able to mechanically update the apparel material database.
To examine the utility of the retrieval algorithm, the prototype system, which retrieved a database in which data on 1,300 kinds of material were recorded, was evaluated. As a result, its utility was confirmed.
Net positive biophilic urbanism
Authors: Birkeland Janis Lynn 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
Positive Development and Biophilic Urbanism appear to be grounded in a different human-nature relationship. Biophilic Urbanism builds on the theory that humans have an innate need to feel connected with nature, and explores ways to amplify its psychological and physiological benefits. Positive Development contends that development must proactively increase nature in absolute terms (beyond pre-industrial conditions). Hence it proposes a radical reconstruction of development design and decision making. Are these positions compatible?

Design/methodology/approach
A literature review revealed many similarities and differences between the two theories, and the views and visions among individual proponents of sustainability paradigms vary. Therefore, the comparison focused on the respective role of nature, a foundational element in each theory.

Findings
Biophilic urbanism stresses the individual’s experience of nature and its importance to human life quality. Positive Development stresses the preservation of species and ecosystems through the re-design of institutional systems and physical structures that increase the ecological base and public estate. Both viewpoints are essential to the whole system transformation that sustainability requires. However, if urban development does not increase urban nature and wilderness well beyond past/ongoing depletion and damage, the natural life support system will collapse.

Research limitations/implications
These paradigms are too complex to be represented in a brief commentary, so the discussion focuses on a crucial difference. Since many papers in this special issue discuss Biophilic Urbanism references, the emphasis here is on the lesser known theory.

Originality/value
These paradigms evolved independently and, as far as is known, this is the first time their essential messages are compared.

Published: April 2016

Background/aimConsideration of the relationship between meaningful participation, health and wellbeing underpins occupational therapy intervention, and drives measurement of community integration following acquired brain injury (ABI). However, utility of community integration measures has been limited to date by lack of normative data against which to compare outcomes, and none examine the growing use of electronic social networking (ESN) for social participation. This research had four aims: (i) develop and pilot items assessingESNto add to the Community Integration Questionnaire, producing the Community Integration Questionnaire–Revised (CIQ‐R); (ii) examine factor structure of theCIQ‐R; (iii) collect AustralianCIQ‐R normative data; and (iv) assess test–retest reliability of the revised measure.MethodsSetting: Australia.Participants: A convenience sample of adults withoutABI(N = 124) was used to develop and pilotESNitems. A representative general population sample of adults withoutABIaged 18–64 years (N = 1973) was recruited to gather normativeCIQ‐R data.Design: Cross‐sectional survey.Main measures: Demographic items and theCIQ‐R.ResultsTheCIQ‐R demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties, with minor modification to the original scoring based on the factor analyses provided. Large representative general populationCIQ‐R normative data have been established, detailing contribution of a range of independent demographic variables to community integration.ConclusionThe addition of electronic social networking items to theCIQ‐R offers a contemporary method of assessing community integration followingABI. NormativeCIQ‐R data enhance the understanding of community integration in the general population, allowing occupational therapists and other clinicians to make more meaningful comparisons between groups.

ObjectivesTo estimate (1) family‐centered care (FCC) and shared decision‐making (SDM) prevalence, and (2) associations of FCC and SDM (FCC/SDM) with health care outcomes among U.S. children.Data SourceThe Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component (MEPS‐HC), a nationally representative survey of the noninstitutionalized, civilian population.Study DesignSecondary analyses of prospectively collected data on 15,764 U.S. children were conducted to examine FCC/SDM prevalence in year 1 and associations of FCC/SDM in year 1 with health services utilization, medical expenditures, and unmet health care needs in year 2.Data Collection/Extraction MethodsWe combined four MEPS‐HC longitudinal files from 2007 to 2011.Principal FindingsFCC/SDM prevalence in year 1 varied from 38.6 to 93.7 percent, and it was lower for composites with more stringent scoring approaches. FCC/SDM composites with stringent scoring approaches in year 1 were associated with reduced unmet needs in year 2. FCC/SDM, across all year 1 composites, was not associated with health services utilization or medical expenditures in year 2. FCC/SDM year 1 subcomponents describing consensus building and mutual agreement were consistently associated with unmet health care needs in year 2.ConclusionsFCC/SDM composites with stringent scoring approaches measuring consensus building and mutual agreement may have the greatest utility for pediatric health care quality improvement efforts.

AbstractFew studies have assessed the outcomes of ABOi/HLAi living‐kidney transplantation. We report a single‐center experience of 12 ABOi/HLAi living‐kidney recipients. Twenty‐seven donor‐specific alloantibodies (DSAs) (1–6 per patient) were found with fluorescence intensities of 1500–15 000. Desensitization was based on IVIg, two doses of rituximab (375 mg/m2), tacrolimus‐based (0.2 mg/kg) immunosuppression (started on day‐10 pretransplant), and 11 (6–27) pretransplant apheresis sessions (plasmapheresis, specific or semi‐specific immunoadsorption). By day 0, 17 of the 27 DSAs had become undetectable. After 19 (3–51) months, patient‐ and graft‐survival rates were 100% and 91.6%, respectively. One patient had an acute humoral rejection whereas three had a chronic antibody‐mediated rejection (CAMR). At the last follow‐up, kidney biopsies were nearly normal in seven cases (58.3%) and renal function was excellent except for the three cases of CAMR. Four patients had a BK virus infection. We conclude that ABOi/HLAi living‐kidney transplantation is a reasonable option for highly sensitized patients.

Published: April 2016

Research SummaryThis study examined the DNA forensic testing outcomes from 894 previously untested sexual assault kits (SAKs) from Detroit, Michigan. At issue was how many of these SAKs would produce DNA profiles eligible for upload into CODIS (Combined DNA Index System), the national forensic DNA database maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then how many would produce CODIS hits (DNA matches) to other crimes. Fifty‐four percent of the SAKs associated with stranger‐perpetrated sexual assaults yielded CODIS‐eligible DNA profiles, producing 156 CODIS hits (DNA matches) and 51 hits matched prior sexual assault offenses in CODIS (i.e., serial sexual assault hit). Forty percent of the SAKs from nonstranger rapes had CODIS‐eligible profiles, producing 103 CODIS hits and 18 serial sexual assault hits. CODIS entry rates and CODIS hit rates were equivalent between stranger and nonstranger SAKs; serial sexual assault hit rates were significantly higher for stranger SAKs.Policy ImplicationsThese results highlight the importance of testing both stranger and nonstranger SAKs as they have an equivalent likelihood of producing CODIS hits. The findings do not support policy recommendations that stranger‐perpetrated SAKs should have testing priority over nonstranger SAKs. Prioritizing stranger SAKs may have unintended negative consequences on the utility of CODIS by limiting the number and type of eligible DNA profiles that are referenced in the federal DNA database.

Published: April 2016

BackgroundIn Australia, over 90% of bariatric surgery is performed in the private sector by paying patients with health insurance. The demand for government funded services is overwhelming and data are needed on the efficiency, safety and effectiveness of the current range of bariatric procedures in a public hospital setting. The aim of this study was to document medium term outcomes of gastric banding (laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB)), gastric bypass (Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB)) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in a publicly funded programme.MethodsPrimary cases with minimum 18 months’ follow up were included. Hospital usage, complications, weight loss and co‐morbidity outcomes were compared.ResultsA total of 229 patients (125 LAGB, 42 RYGB, 62 SG) were included. Mean weight (body mass index) for LAGB, RYGB and SG was 130.6 (46.3), 137.2 (50.5) and 162.7 (55.2) kg (kg/m2), respectively (P < 0.001). Operative time and hospital stay were longest for RYGB and intensive care stay was longest for SG. Major complications occurred at 0.0%, 11.9% and 12.9% (P < 0.001) and major reoperations occurred over 5 years 11.2%, 21.4% and 6.5% (P = 0.064). Mean (standard deviation) excess weight loss was 29.9% (33.1), 75.7% (31.8) and 52.7% (19.7) with mean follow up of 3.6 years and 79.0% complete data.ConclusionsIn our public bariatric programme, LAGB patients perform relatively poorly. An increased focus on SG may be appropriate as weight loss is more reliable, major reoperation rates are low and follow up less important. Our experience should be useful for those considering how best to structure and fund a public bariatric programme.
Blame and guilt – a mixed methods study of obstetricians' and midwives' experiences and existential considerations after involvement in traumatic childbirth

Published: April 2016

AbstractIntroductionWhen complications arise in the delivery room, midwives and obstetricians operate at the interface of life and death, and in rare cases the infant or the mother suffers severe and possibly fatal injuries related to the birth. This descriptive study investigated the numbers and proportions of obstetricians and midwives involved in such traumatic childbirth and explored their experiences with guilt, blame, shame and existential concerns.Material and methodsA mixed methods study comprising a national survey of Danish obstetricians and midwives and a qualitative interview study with selected survey participants.ResultsThe response rate was 59% (1237/2098), of which 85% stated that they had been involved in a traumatic childbirth. We formed five categories during the comparative mixed methods analysis: the patient, clinical peers, official complaints, guilt, and existential considerations. Although blame from patients, peers or official authorities was feared (and sometimes experienced), the inner struggles with guilt and existential considerations were dominant. Feelings of guilt were reported by 36–49%, and 50% agreed that the traumatic childbirth had made them think more about the meaning of life. Sixty‐five percent felt that they had become a better midwife or doctor due to the traumatic incident.ConclusionsThe results of this large, exploratory study suggest that obstetricians and midwives struggle with issues of blame, guilt and existential concerns in the aftermath of a traumatic childbirth.

Published: April 2016

AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine whether autonomic nervous activity of a rider with no disability was altered by one practical and applicable horse trekking (HT) exercise. Changes in autonomic nervous activity were analyzed by heart rate variability (HRV). Twenty‐three participants with no disability rode horses along a predetermined HT course at trotting and walking for 60 min. HRV was sampled at 60 min before and immediately, following 60 min, and 120 min after HT. As a control, the same measurements were performed for 22 age‐matched participants during their rest. Only in the HT group, the value of normalized unit in high frequency component (HF nu), an index of parasympathetic nervous activity, was higher at 120 min after treatment than before HT (P < 0.05). The low / high frequency ratio (LF / HF), believed to reflect sympathetic nervous activity, was lower in the HT group than those in the control group at 60 min (P < 0.05) and 120 min after treatment (P < 0.01). These findings suggest that a single HT shifted the autonomic nervous balance of a rider toward parasympathetic dominance. The results obtained by the present study could accelerate the use of horses for human health.
Genetic relationships between meat quality traits and fatty acid composition in Japanese black cattle
Authors: Inoue Keiichi , Shoji Noriaki , Honda Takeshi , Oyama Kenji 
Published: April 2016

AbstractGenetic parameters were estimated to investigate the relationships between meat quality traits and fatty acid composition from 11 855 Japanese Black cattle. The meat quality traits included beef marbling score (BMS), beef color score, firmness of beef (FIR), texture of beef (TEX) and beef fat color score (BFS). The data on fatty acid composition included oleic acid and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) contents, the ratio of MUFA to saturated fatty acids (MUS) and the ratio of elongation. The heritability estimates for meat quality traits ranged from moderate (0.30) to high (0.72). The strong genetic correlations between them were useful for simultaneous genetic improvement. In addition, high heritability estimates of fatty acid composition, ranging from 0.60 to 0.63, indicated that they could also be improved genetically. The genetic correlations of fatty acid composition with BMS, FIR and TEX were weak and negative. In contrast, positive and stronger genetic correlations were found between BFS and fatty acid composition, in particular, related to the level of unsaturation (0.77 and 0.79 for MUFA and MUS, respectively). This implies that improving the level of unsaturation makes fat darker (more yellow) and thus requires balancing with BFS.

SummaryVitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) requires monitoring of the international normalized ratio (INR). We evaluated the agreement between two INR audit parameters, frequency in range (FIR) and proportion of time in the therapeutic range (TTR), using data from a global population of patients with newly diagnosed non‐valvular AF, the Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD–Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD‐AF). Among 17 168 patients with 1‐year follow‐up data available at the time of the analysis, 8445 received VKA therapy (±antiplatelet therapy) at enrolment, and of these patients, 5066 with ≥3 INR readings and for whom both FIR and TTR could be calculated were included in the analysis. In total, 70 905 INRs were analysed. At the patient level, TTR showed higher values than FIR (mean, 56·0% vs 49·8%; median, 59·7% vs 50·0%). Although patient‐level FIR and TTR values were highly correlated (Pearson correlation coefficient [95% confidence interval; CI], 0·860 [0·852–0·867]), estimates from individuals showed widespread disagreement and variability (Lin's concordance coefficient [95% CI], 0·829 [0·821–0·837]). The difference between FIR and TTR explained 17·4% of the total variability of measurements. These results suggest that FIR and TTR are not equivalent and cannot be used interchangeably.

SummaryPegfilgrastim is a pegylated form of the granulocyte‐colony stimulating factor, filgrastim. Herein, we report the results of a multicentre, randomized, double‐blind phase III trial comparing the efficacy and safety of pegfilgrastim with filgrastim in patients with malignant lymphoma. Patients were randomized to receive either a single subcutaneous dose of pegfilgrastim or daily subcutaneous doses of filgrastim on day 4 after the completion of cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, etoposide and dexamethasone ± rituximab (CHASE(R); day 1–3) chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was the duration of severe neutropenia (DSN), defined as the number of days with neutrophil count <0·5 × 109/l in the first cycle of chemotherapy. A total of 111 lymphoma patients were randomized to either the pegfilgrastim or filgrastim group. 109 patients received either pegfilgrastim (n = 54) or filgrastim (n = 55). Efficacy data were available for 107 patients (pegfilgrastim: n = 53, filgrastim: n = 54). Both groups were well balanced in terms of gender, age, performance status and other variables. The mean DSN (±S.D.) was 4·5 (±1·2) and 4·7 (±1·3) d in the pegfilgrastim and filgrastim groups. No significant difference in safety was observed. This trial verified the non‐inferiority of a single subcutaneous dose of pegfilgrastim compared with daily subcutaneous doses of filgrastim, considering DSN as an indicator.
