Semantics for interoperability of distributed data and models: Foundations for better-connected information
Authors: Villa Ferdinando , Balbi Stefano , Athanasiadis Ioannis N. , Caracciolo Caterina 
Published: May 2017

Correct and reliable linkage of independently produced information is a requirement to enable sophisticated applications and processing workflows. These can ultimately help address the challenges posed by complex systems (such as socio-ecological systems), whose many components can only be described through independently developed data and model products. We discuss the first outcomes of an investigation in the conceptual and methodological aspects of semantic annotation of data and models, aimed to enable a high standard of interoperability of information. The results, operationalized in the context of a long-term, active, large-scale project on ecosystem services assessment, include: A definition of interoperability based on semantics and scale;A conceptual foundation for the phenomenology underlying scientific observations, aimed to guide the practice of semantic annotation in domain communities;A dedicated language and software infrastructure that operationalizes the findings and allows practitioners to reap the benefits of data and model interoperability. The work presented is the first detailed description of almost a decade of work with communities active in socio-ecological system modeling. After defining the boundaries of possible interoperability based on the understanding of scale, we discuss examples of the practical use of the findings to obtain consistent, interoperable and machine-ready semantic specifications that can integrate semantics across diverse domains and disciplines.

Published: June 2017

Background:Antimalarial drugs affect the central nervous system, but it is difficult to differentiate the effect of these drugs from that of the malaria illness. We conducted a systematic review to determine the association between anti-malarial drugs and mental and neurological impairment in humans. Methods:We systematically searched online databases, including Medline/PubMed, PsychoInfo, and Embase, for articles published up to 14th July 2016. Pooled prevalence, heterogeneity and factors associated with prevalence of mental and neurological manifestations were determined using meta-analytic techniques. Results:Of the 2,349 records identified in the initial search, 51 human studies met the eligibility criteria. The median pooled prevalence range of mental and neurological manifestations associated with antimalarial drugs ranged from 0.7% (dapsone) to 48.3% (minocycline) across all studies, while it ranged from 0.6% (pyrimethamine) to 42.7% (amodiaquine) during treatment of acute malaria, and 0.7% (primaquine/dapsone) to 55.0% (sulfadoxine) during prophylaxis. Pooled prevalence of mental and neurological manifestations across all studies was associated with an increased number of antimalarial drugs (prevalence ratio= 5.51 (95%CI, 1.05-29.04); P=0.045) in a meta-regression analysis. Headaches (15%) and dizziness (14%) were the most common mental and neurological manifestations across all studies. Of individual antimalarial drugs still on the market, mental and neurological manifestations were most common with the use of sulphadoxine (55%) for prophylaxis studies and amodiaquine (42.7%) for acute malaria studies. Mefloquine affected more domains of mental and neurological manifestations than any other antimalarial drug. Conclusions:Antimalarial drugs, particularly those used for prophylaxis, may be associated with mental and neurological manifestations, and the number of antimalarial drugs taken determines the association. Mental and neurological manifestations should be assessed following the use of antimalarial drugs.
Easier unit tests and better examples with exampletestr and covr
Authors: Nolan Rory , Padilla-Parra Sergi 
Published: May 2017

In spite of the utility of unit tests, most R package developers do not write them. exampletestr makes it easier to start writing unit tests by creating shells/skeletons of unit tests based on the examples in the user's package documentation. When completed, these unit tests test whether said examples run correctly. By combining the functionality of exampletestr with that of covr, having ensured that their examples adequately demonstrate the features of their package, the developer can have much of the work of constructing a comprehensive set of unit tests done for them.

Modeling Gas Markets with Endogenous Long-Term Contracts
Authors: Abada Ibrahim , Ehrenmann Andreas , Smeers Yves 
Published: June 2017

Since its initial development, long-term contracts have been associated with the gas industry in all regions of the world. This was also the case in Europe where natural gas trade was, for a long time, dominated by bilateral long-term agreements between producers and midstreamers. These contracts fixed a minimum volume to be exchanged (take or pay) and indexed the gas price using a price formula that usually referred to oil product prices. These arrangements allowed market risk sharing between the producer (who takes the price risk) and the midstreamer (who takes the volume risk). They also offered risk hedging since oil is considered as a trusted commodity by investors. The fall of the European natural gas demand, combined with the increase of the oil price, favored the emergence of a gas volume bubble that caused significant losses for most of the European midstreamers bound by long-term agreements. As a result, the downstream part of the industry brought forward the idea of indexing contracts on gas spot prices. In this paper, we present an equilibrium model that endogenously captures the contracting behavior of both producer and midstreamer, who strive to hedge their profit-related risk. Players can choose between gas forward and oil-indexed contracts. Using the model, we show that (i) contracting can reduce the trade risk for both producer and midstreamer; (ii) oil-indexed contracts should be signed only when oil and gas spot prices are well correlated, otherwise, these contracts hold less interest for risk mitigation; (iii) contracts are best suited when the upstream cost structure is mainly driven by capital costs; and (iv) a high level of risk aversion from the midstreamer might deprive upstream investments and downstream consumer surplus.

The direct anterior approach in total hip arthroplasty
Authors: Meermans G. , Konan S. , Das R. , Volpin A. , Haddad F. S. 
Published: May 2017

AimsThe most effective surgical approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial. The direct anterior approach may be associated with a reduced risk of dislocation, faster recovery, reduced pain and fewer surgical complications. This systematic review aims to evaluate the current evidence for the use of this approach in THA.Materials and MethodsFollowing the Cochrane collaboration, an extensive literature search of PubMed, Medline, Embase and OvidSP was conducted. Randomised controlled trials, comparative studies, and cohort studies were included. Outcomes included the length of the incision, blood loss, operating time, length of stay, complications, and gait analysis.ResultsA total of 42 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most were of medium to low quality. There was no difference between the direct anterior, anterolateral or posterior approaches with regards to length of stay and gait analysis. Papers comparing the length of the incision found similar lengths compared with the lateral approach, and conflicting results when comparing the direct anterior and posterior approaches. Most studies found the mean operating time to be significantly longer when the direct anterior approach was used, with a steep learning curve reported by many. Many authors used validated scores including the Harris hip score, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index. These mean scores were better following the use of the direct anterior approach for the first six weeks post-operatively. Subsequently there was no difference between these scores and those for the posterior approach.ConclusionThere is little evidence for improved kinematics or better long-term outcomes following the use of the direct anterior approach for THA. There is a steep learning curve with similar rates of complications, length of stay and outcomes. Well-designed, multi-centre, prospective randomised controlled trials are required to provide evidence as to whether the direct anterior approach is better than the lateral or posterior approaches when undertaking THA.

Published: May 2017

Aims Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has been successfully performed in the United States healthcare system on outpatients. Despite differences in healthcare structure and financial environment, we hypothesised that it would be feasible to replicate this success and perform UKA with safe day of surgery discharge within the NHS, in the United Kingdom. This has not been reported in any other United Kingdom centres. Patients and Methods We report our experience of implementing a pathway to allow safe day of surgery discharge following UKA. Data were prospectively collected on 72 patients who underwent UKA as a day case between December 2011 and September 2015. Results A total of 61 patients (85%) were discharged on the same day. The most common reason for failure was logistical; five patients had their operation too late in the day. Three patients failed to mobilise safely, two had inadequate control of pain and one had a leaking wound. The mean length of stay for those who were not discharged on the same day was 1.2 nights (1 to 3). During the same time, 58 patients underwent planned inpatient UKA, as they were deemed inappropriate for discharge on the day of surgery. However, three of these were safely discharged on the same day. Follow-up data, 24 hours post-operatively, were available for 70 patients; 51 (73%) reported no or mild pain, 14 (20%) had moderate pain and five (7%) had severe pain. There were no re-admissions. All patients had a high level of satisfaction. Conclusion We found that patients can be safely and effectively discharged on the day of surgery after UKA, with high levels of satisfaction. This clearly offers improved management of resources and financial savings to healthcare trusts. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B:788–92.
Magnetically controlled growing rods in the treatment of early-onset scoliosis
Authors: Rushton P. R. P. , Siddique I. , Crawford R. , Birch N. , Gibson M. J. , Hutton M. J. 
Published: May 2017

The MAGnetic Expansion Control (MAGEC) system is used increasingly in the management of early-onset scoliosis. Good results have been published, but there have been recent reports identifying implant failures that may be associated with significant metallosis surrounding the implants. This article aims to present the current knowledge regarding the performance of this implant, and the potential implications and strategies that may be employed to identify and limit any problems. We urge surgeons to apply caution to patient and construct selection; engage in prospective patient registration using a spine registry; ensure close clinical monitoring until growth has ceased; and send all explanted MAGEC rods for independent analysis. The MAGEC system may be a good instrumentation system for the treatment of early-onset scoliosis. However, it is innovative and like all new technology, especially when deployed in a paediatric population, robust systems to assess long-term outcome are required to ensure that patient safety is maintained.

Estudo do uso de Carbapenémicos em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Adulta de um Hospital Público do Município de Vitória da Conquista-Bahia
Authors: Santos Emerson Batista , Pereira Karina Matos 
Published: May 2017

As organizações hospitalares estão inseridas num ambiente complexo que quando não funcionam de forma adequada gera problemas bastante gravosos. No setor saúde a unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) é uma unidade muito difícil de ser lidada, já que abarca pacientes graves e casos onde precisa-se do máximo de cuidado possível e relacionado ao uso de medicamentos neste setor, a preocupação é latente pois há o risco de contaminação maior devido ao uso de antibióticos e no caso do uso do carbapenémicos não seria diferente. Assim será analisado neste estudo o uso deste tipo de antibiótico no trato de pacientes em UTI e analisar as nuances acerca do uso destas drogas de maior prescrição. Nota-se que foi analisado diversas nuances acerca do uso deste fármaco e tendo um resultado superior contra enterobactérias. Salienta-se aqui estudos que não consideram este medicamento o mais recomendado em unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI), por causa da resistência da Pseudomonas aeruginosa e da Acinetobacter baumannii, pois estas são bactérias que tem alta taxas de resistência. Como resultados as pesquisa, conforme as culturas feitas viu-se sensíveis aos carbapenémicos foram 124 (78,48 %) e resistentes aos carbapenémicos foram 34 (21,52 %), e que o local mais incidência detectado foi a Secreção traqueal com 44,30% sensível e 13,92% resistente, e na urocultura com 12,02% (sensíveis) e 0,63% nas resistentes sendo que os microorganismos mais incidentes foram P. auruginosas, com 13,29% nas sensíveis e 3,79% nas resistentes, Acinetobacter baumani com 5,06% (sensíveis) e 13,92% (resistentes), Klebisiela pneumonie ssp com 14,55% (sensíveis) e a E. coli com 10,75%, nas sensíveis e não foram encontradas resistentes nestas duas últimas.

Dear producers and consumers of knowledge,

I would like to share the happiness of being with you again with 7th Volume 2nd Issue of Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction (PEGEGOG). I hope you could find time to have a rest after your busAy schedule. Initially, I want to thank you for the increasing interest for our journal.

As mentioned before, we had applied to many indexes Our efforts have started to yield fruitful results. Thanks to the valuable contributions of our authors and readers, I am happy to announce that Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction is now being indexed in Emerging Sources Citation Index (E-SCI) effective from 2017. I am hoping to give the announcements of other indexing news for the next issues.

We shared with you in previous issues and announcements that our journal got high scores by many indexes. I'm pleased to inform you in this issue that the journal's h-index rose to 9. However, our aim is always to have much higher scores. Therefore, we invite you to share studies comprehensive, built on strong theoretical basis, innovative and bringing a vision on various fields of educational sciences increasing the number of readers.

There has been 43 articles sent for publication to our journal. This is good news for our journal and country. On the other hand, I have to indicate that there were critical problems in terms of format within these articles as stated in the previous issue. First of all, unfortunately we had to reject some articles as in many of them there were texts very similar to ones in different articles. At first step, we scan all articles in i-Thenticate program to determine the exact quotations from other resources. After this scan, we reject the articles detected to have exact quotations at a high rate without initiating peer-review process. Apart from that, we also send back the articles not written in an academic format not to disturb our reviewers unnecessarily.

One of the problems with the articles submitted to our journal and we had to reject was about data analysis. The data is the raw information collected from related resources through research aims. These should be analyzed in parallel with these aims. It is necessary to analyze them using statistics for quantitative data and methods such as content analysis or descriptive analysis for qualitative data. Analysis provides the data being transformed into findings and make sense. Especially, in some of document analysis and some qualitative studies, it is seen that data are presented as findings. In some others, data are presented being only described. It is essential that the studies are formed in an article format obeying the rules by the journal and presented for publication afterwards.

As always, we present the six articles got through peer-review process and given DOI number to you dear producers and consumers of knowledge. I wish these studies conducted in various fields of educational sciences will be useful and contribute to theoretical knowledge within the field. Hope to meet within the next issue.

Sincerely yours,

Abstract
We present a case of severe thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in a patient with history of recurrent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary restrictive disease due to pulmonary and vertebral tuberculosis in young adulthood. He was considered not eligible in the National Program for Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, being referred for thoracic surgery, but he was considered unfit for thrombendarterectomy. Despite guidelines, we administered him specific medical therapy (phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and endothelin receptor antagonists). His clinical evolution was satisfactory, with increasing effort tolerance and decreasing need for ambulatory oxigenotherapy.
Expression of psbA1 gene in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is influenced by CO2

Published: June 2017

AbstractIn almost all cyanobacteria a small gene family encodes the photosystem II reaction center D1 proteins that play vital roles in the cell. Recently, several types of this protein were functionally characterised and the conditions for their transcript regulation were identified. One of the D1-encoding genes previously believed to be silent is induced by microaerobic conditions. This gene was first described in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 as psbA1 encoding the D1 isoform. When Synechocystis cells are shifted from high to ambient level CO2 we recorded an increase in gene expression, similar, but to a lesser extent, to microaerobic conditions. When synthetic air is used to remove the ambient CO2, the induction of the gene is absent. We documented for the first time that expression of a psbA gene is regulated by the inorganic carbon status of the cell. Our conclusion is that both CO2 and microaerobic conditions are independently influencing the expression of psbA1 gene in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Hence, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms of regulation and function of D1 proteins as it could be used for future bio-technological applications as a virtual tool-box for modulating the function of PSII.
Archaeobotanical components of grave goods in prehistoric tumuli 6 and 7 at the archaeological site of Kaptol-Gradci, near Požega (Croatia)
Authors: Šoštarić Renata , Potrebica Hrvoje , Hršak Jelena , Essert Sara 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The Iron Age site of Kaptol-Gradci belongs to the south-eastern periphery of the Hallstatt cultural complex, dominated primarily by the Kaptol cultural group, and encompasses a hillfort settlement and necropolis. During the investigation campaigns organized to date, 25 tumuli have been identified and 17 of them investigated. This paper presents the first results of the analysis of plant remains from a Hallstatt necropolis in Croatia, from tumuli 6 and 7, identified as an integral part of the complex burial ritual. In both tumuli, the predominant finds were of cereal grains (83% in tumulus 6 and 96.9% in tumulus 7). Besides the cereal grains, a very small quantity of weeds representing accidental associations have also been identified, as well as remains of wild fruits collected in the countryside. On the basis of the first results obtained from the archaeological site of Kaptol-Gradci and the scarce archaeobotanical research into Hallstatt necropolises in Europe, the conclusion can be drawn that a potential pattern can be observed, an element of a complex burial ritual in which cereal grains (overwhelmingly dominant in terms of their relative proportions) played an important role, together with various fruit deposits, whose type and quantity probably depended on the season, their availability in the environment and/or the possibility of their storage/preservation.
