SummaryObjectives: Raw accelerometry is increasingly being used in physical activity research, but diversity in sensor design, attachment and signal processing challenges the comparability of research results. Therefore, efforts are needed to harmonize the methodology. In this article we reflect on how increased methodological harmonization may be achieved.Methods: The authors of this work convened for a two-day workshop (March 2014) themed on methodological harmonization of raw accelerometry. The discussions at the workshop were used as a basis for this review.Results: Key stakeholders were identified as manufacturers, method developers, method users (application), publishers, and funders. To facilitate methodological harmonization in raw accelerometry the following action points were proposed: i) Manufacturers are encouraged to provide a detailed specification of their sensors, ii) Each fundamental step of algorithms for processing raw accelerometer data should be documented, and ideally also motivated, to facilitate interpretation and discussion, iii) Algorithm developers and method users should be open about uncertainties in the description of data and the uncertainty of the inference itself, iv) All new algorithms which are pitched as “ready for implementation” should be shared with the community to facilitate replication and ongoing evaluation by independent groups, and v) A dynamic interaction between method stakeholders should be encouraged to facilitate a well-informed harmonization process.Conclusions: The workshop led to the iden -tification of a number of opportunities for harmonizing methodological practice. The discussion as well as the practical checklists proposed in this review should provide guidance for stakeholders on how to contribute to increased harmonization.

ABSTRACT
Galactic nuclei, such as that of the Milky Way, are extreme regions with high stellar densities, and in most cases, the hosts of a supermassive black hole. One of the scenarios proposed for the formation of the Galactic nucleus is merging of primordial globular clusters. An implication of this model is that this region should host stars that are characteristically found in old Milky Way globular clusters. RR Lyrae stars are primary distance indicators, well known representatives of old and metal-poor stellar populations, and therefore are regularly found in globular clusters. Here we report the discovery of a dozen RR Lyrae type ab stars in the vicinity of the Galactic center, i.e., in the so-called nuclear stellar bulge of the Milky Way. This discovery provides the first direct observational evidence that the Galactic nuclear stellar bulge contains ancient stars (>10 Gyr old). Based on this we conclude that merging globular clusters likely contributed to the build-up of the high stellar density in the nuclear stellar bulge of the Milky Way.

Brazil stands out for its diversity of native palm trees, with about 37 genres and 387 species described. Oenocarpus bacaba Mart. Commonly known as bacabeira, it is an oleaginous fruit, usually eaten by the riverside and indigenous population in the Amazon region. This study aimed to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics and the lipid profile of the eatable part of bacaba, from Pimenta Bueno - RO. It was conducted physical assessments of the length, diameter, and weight. For the physical and chemical analyze it was characterized according to the Total titratable acidity, pH, reducing sugar, non-reducing and total sugar, moisture, total soluble solids, ashes, protein, lipids and fatty acids. The results for titratable acidity was 0,22g/100g of citric acid, pH 5,83, reducing sugar 4,64g /100g of glucose, total sugar 4,75g /100g of glucose, moisture 30,36%, total soluble solids 69,63g/100g, ashes 1,53g/100g, protein 4,61g/100g, lipids 21,02g/100g. The results demonstrated that the main components of the eatable parts from bacaba are lipids with lower levels of sugar and proteins, making it possible to classify bacaba as a fruit with high oleaginous content slightly acid and low moisture. Bacaba oil showed greater abundance of fatty acid oleic, the main constituent of olive oil. Therefore, considering the obtained data from this study with the nutritional and sensory characteristics described in the literature related to the similarities to the olive oil, the bacaba oil inserted into the feeding to replace the olive oil and other vegetable oils as a source of omega 9.
Inciter des auteurs d’infractions à caractère sexuel incarcérés à se soigner
Authors: Saetta Sébastien 
Published: October 2016

La loi du 17 juin 1998 relative à la prévention et à la répression des infractions sexuelles, qui a introduit en France l'injonction de soin à la place ou en complément d'une peine d'emprisonnement ferme, a également introduit la notion d'« incitation aux soins » pour les auteurs d'infractions à caractère sexuel incarcérés. Ces derniers sont regroupés au sein d'établissements pénitentiaires spécifiques disposant notamment d'une unité de soins spécialisée. Dans cet article, sont d'abord décrits et analysés les dispositifs et stratégies par lesquels le législateur, les juges, le personnel pénitentiaire et les thérapeutes de cet établissement et de cette unité s'y prennent pour amener cette catégorie de détenus – a priori peu enclins à demander des soins – dans le bureau des thérapeutes. Y sont ensuite décrites et analysées les techniques mobilisées par ces derniers pour modifier le fonctionnement psychique des détenus, et les amener à réfléchir sur eux, à manifester de l'empathie et à comprendre le sens des interdits. La médicalisation des auteurs d'infractions à caractère sexuel, entre « gestion des risques » et « tutelle de l'intime », constitue ainsi une forme de socialisation autoritaire, les thérapeutes participant à la fabrique d'un sujet contemporain enjoint de travailler sur lui et renvoyé à lui-même dans la gestion de ses désirs et comportements.
Zooplankton predators and prey: body size and stable isotope to investigate the pelagic food web in a deep lake (Lake Iseo, Northern Italy)
Authors: Leoni Barbara 
Published: October 2016

<p>Seasonal changes in trophic position and food sources of deep subalpine lake (Lake Iseo, Northern Italy) zooplankton taxa were investigated during the year 2011. Furthermore, it's combined carbon and nitrogen Stable Isotope Analysis (SIA) with size-specific analyses of both, the major predatory cladoceran (<em>Leptodora kindtii</em><em>,</em> Focke) and two potential preys (<em>Daphnia</em> <em>longispina</em> complex and <em>Eubosmina longicornis</em>). SIA studies have been extremely useful to track the energy flow through complex trophic network, however, if it is applied to analyze relation between two/few species may lead to misleading interpretations. In fact, integrating size-specificity allowed for understanding why <em>L. kindtii</em> nitrogen isotopic fingerprint fully overlapped with <em>Daphnia</em>, in spring. By investigating changes in <em>L. kindtii</em>'s feeding basket, we found that in spring, <em>L. kindtii </em>mainly relied upon <em>E. longicornis </em>as prey, <em>Daphnia</em> being of too large body size for being captured by <em>L. kindtii.</em> Among preys encountered directly in front by a free-swimming <em>Leptodora</em>, only those able to fit into basket opening can be captured. As basket diameter increases with animal body length, size selection of prey depends on <em>L. kindtii</em> body length. As in other deep, subalpine lakes, <em>E. longicornis </em>was less <sup>15</sup>N-enriched than <em>Daphnia</em>, most likely because of exploiting nitrogen fixing, cyanobacteria colonies, commonly detected in Lake Iseo with the onset of thermal stratification. Cyclopoid adults were at the top of zooplankton food chain and they could potentially be feeding on <em>Daphnia</em>. They, however, likely fed in a different habitat (&gt;20 m deep water), as suggested by a rather than negligible carbon fractionation. The results overall suggest that size-specificity is crucial for addressing space and time changes in trophic links between organisms composing the two hierarchical levels within open water zooplankton community.</p><p> </p>

Published: October 2016

Non-destructive rock art recording techniques are getting special attention in the last years, opening new research lines in order to improve the level of documentation and understanding of our rich legacy. This paper applies the principal component analysis (PCA) technique in images that include wavelengths between 400-700 nm (visible range). Our approach is focused on determining the difference provided by the image processing of the visible region through four spectral images versus an image that encompasses the entire visible spectrum. The images were taken by means of optical filters that take specific wavelengths and exclude parts of the spectrum. Simulation of rock art is prepared in laboratory. For this purpose, three different pigments were made simulating the material composition of rock art paintings. The advantages of studying the visible spectrum in separate images are analysed. In addition, PCA is applied to each of the images to reduce redundant data. Finally, PCA is applied to the image that contains the entire visible spectrum and is compared with previous results. Through the results of the four visible spectral images one can begin to draw conclusions about constituent painting materials without using decorrelation techniques.

Son claros los efectos negativos del patrón de crecimiento urbano disperso y del enfoque de la planificación del transporte desde la oferta, en vez de hacerlo desde la demanda. Las medidas que buscan un incremento de la oferta de infraestructura viaria (mediante construcción de nuevas o ampliación de las existentes) con el fin de satisfacer la demanda creciente de tráfico motorizado, orientadas a la mejora del desplazamiento en vehículo privado, no sólo son insuficientes para solucionar el problema de la movilidad urbana, sino que, favorecen el crecimiento de los viajes en coche y con ello generan una mayor congestión. La idea del desarrollo sostenible, que propone crecer económicamente con equidad, sin dañar los ecosistemas y superando la pobreza, es una referencia obligada en las diversas actividades y disciplinas. El urbanismo no es la excepción, sobre todo si se considera que la ciudad transforma de manera intensa el medio ambiente. Por lo tanto, el urbanismo tiene una estrecha relación con la propuesta de sostenibilidad. Aparece una nueva tendencia conjuga urbanismo y movilidad, es el denominado DOT: “Desarrollo Urbano Orientado al Transporte Público”. Esta tendencia se basa en el desarrollo urbano en áreas adyacentes a estaciones de transporte masivo con el objetivo de fomentar un mayor uso del sistema de transporte público y a la vez potenciar la sostenibilidad financiera de dicho sistema mediante la concentración de la demanda de usuarios del transporte público a partir de la re /densificación urbana en zonas estratégicas. Los desarrollos DOT se diseñan según ocho principios ligados al urbanismo sostenible: Caminar, Pedalear, Conectar, Transportar, Mezclar, Densificar, Compactar y Cambiar. Se analizan tres experiencias internacionales de DOT estudiando la aplicación de cada uno de los principios DOT a través de un análisis comparativo de buenas y malas prácticas.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3182

Published: October 2016

La fuente de información disponible, a nivel nacional, sobre flujos de tráfico que involucran mercancías peligrosas se encuentra publicada anualmente en el Mapa de Tráfico editado por el Ministerio de Fomento. Esta información, de carácter informativo, es presentada de forma agregada; obtenida mediante aforos manuales que se capturan en 6 campañas anuales, en días laborables de meses alternos y en un periodo temporal limitado a seis horas. Los datos no revelan la distribución de la tipología de mercancía peligrosa transportada. Esta distribución sí puede inferirse haciendo uso de sistemas ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), mediante la captura de datos durante las 24 horas diarias, para los 365 días del año. El sistema y metodología que se reporta en este estudio demuestra la capacidad de estimación del flujo de vehículos y tipología de materia peligrosa transportada mediante la lectura del código ONU que identifica de forma unívoca la tipología de ésta y que se encuentra incluido dentro de la placa naranja de identificación de peligro que obligatoriamente deben llevar los vehículos que realizan el transporte de este tipo de mercancía. El sistema se encarga de la interpretación de la materia transportada y el peligro asociado, así como de la posición y dirección de dicho vehículo, registrando la información en un servidor central. El sistema está constituido por un conjunto distribuido de estaciones de lectura ubicadas en puntos de observación estratégicos. Con la información capturada con este sistema automático, se realiza una comparativa con la fuente de información agregada, para derivar conclusiones sobre el grado de utilidad de la información publicada. Con la inferencia de la información desagregada es posible realizar una multiplicidad de análisis tales como, clasificación de materias por su importancia en cuanto al volumen transportado, identificación de los puntos con un mayor riesgo medioambiental, y actualización de matrices de origen-destino de mercancías peligrosas, entre otros.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3796

Background Surgical access to benign neoplastic lesions of the femoral head are associated with significant morbidity, including contamination of intra-osseous access tracks, articular cartilage lesions, avascular bone necrosis or tumour recurrence due to incomplete curettage. Case presentation We present a case of a 20-year-old female with a giant cell tumour in the femoral head, which was treated with curettage through a trans-foveal approach and bone grafting. This technique includes a surgical dislocation of the hip with trochanteric osteotomy. Results At the latest follow-up at 2 years, there was no evidence of local recurrence or avascular necrosis on MRI, and the patient was pain free and back to sports.

Published: October 2016

Purpose Biodegradable polymers are currently gaining importance in several fields, because they allow mitigation of the impact on the environment related to disposal of traditional, nonbiodegradable polymers, as well as reducing the utilization of oil-based sources (when they also come from renewable resources). Fibers made of biodegradable polymers are of particular interest, though, it is not easy to obtain polymer fibers with suitable mechanical properties and to tailor these to the specific application. The main ways to tailor the mechanical properties of a given biodegradable polymer fiber are based on crystallinity and orientation control. However, crystallinity can only marginally be modified during processing, while orientation can be controlled, either during hot drawing or cold stretching. In this paper, a systematic investigation of the influence of cold stretching on the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of fibers prepared from different biodegradable polymer systems was carried out. Methods Rheological and thermal characterization helped in interpreting the orientation mechanisms, also on the basis of the molecular structure of the polymer systems. Results and conclusions It was found that cold drawing strongly improved the elastic modulus, tensile strength and thermomechanical resistance of the fibers, in comparison with hot-spun fibers. The elastic modulus showed higher increment rates in the biodegradable systems upon increasing the draw ratio.
LODDS is Superior to Lymph Node Ratio for the Prognosis of Node-positive Rectal Cancer Patients Treated with Preoperative Radiotherapy

Published: October 2016

Purpose Yielding pathologic-lymph node ratio (yp-LNR) was considered to be a better staging system than yp-N stage in rectal cancer patients treated with preoperative radiotherapy (pre-RT). We aimed to compare the predictive ability of yielding pathologic log odds of positive lymph nodes (yp-LODDS) with that of yp-LNR for cancer-specific survival (CSS) in stage III rectal cancer patients treated with pre-RT. Methods We analyzed stage III rectal cancer patients treated with pre-RT in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Patients were classified into 4 groups, yp-LNR1 to 4, based on the LNR cutoff points 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75. Subjects were categorized into 5 groups, yp-LODDS1 to yp-LODDS5, based on the LODDS cutoff points −1, 0, 1, and 2. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were performed to analyze the risk factors for survival outcome. Results A total of 4,612 patients were included from the SEER database. Patients in the yp-LNR4 group could be further divided into yp-LODDS4 and yp-LODDS5 groups with 5-year CSS of 47.6% and 31.5%, respectively (p<0.001). In the multivariate analysis without yp-LODDS, yp-LNR was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio [HR] 2.006, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.619-2.484, p<0.001). However, after adjusting for yp-LODDS, yp-LNR was no longer associated with CSS (p = 0.393), and yp-LODDS was identified as an independent prognostic factor (HR 1.274, 95% CI 1.069-1.520, p = 0.007). Conclusions The prognostic value of yp-LNR can be confounded by yp-LODDS. In stage III rectal cancer patients treated with pre-RT, yp-LODDS has superior discrimination power over yp-LNR and can more accurately evaluate CSS.

Purpose To investigate the presence of regret in patients about having followed an active surveillance (AS) protocol. The secondary aim was to identify variables that influence regret. Methods From February 2006 to May 2014, 204 patients discontinued the AS protocols and were invited to enter the study. Sociodemographic variables were collected at AS enrollment, together with health-related quality of life (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate version [FACT-P]) and coping (Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer). Patients were asked to complete a Treatment Regret Scale as well as the FACT-P questionnaire. Clinical data were gathered, as well as time of stay within the AS protocol, reason for discontinuing AS, kind of post-AS treatment, and time elapsed since AS discontinuation. Questionnaires were completed by 105 patients (51.5% of those who had been invited to enter the study). Results Most of the patients had a low or null degree of regret on the Treatment Regret Scale from 0 to 100 (82/105 patients [78.1%] obtained a score <30, and about 30% of the sample had a score equal to zero). Only 5 patients (4.7%) scored 60 or more, indicating some degree of regret. None of the statistical tests between regret scores and a number of analyzed variables reached significance. Conclusions These results show that the degree of regret about following an AS protocol and after its discontinuation because of entering active treatment was very low. The regret after AS was not related to sociodemographic or clinical factors.
