Objective
Biallelic TSHR mutations cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Serum TSH levels of monoallelic mutation carriers range from normal to mildly elevated, and thus the size of its effect remains unclear. The objectives were to examine the association between monoallelic TSHR mutations and positivity at newborn screening (NBS) for CH, and to test whether the association was modified by another genetic factor.

Subjects and methods
We enrolled 395 patients that had a positive result in NBS and sequenced TSHR. Monoallelic TSHR mutation carriers were further sequenced for DUOX2. Molecular functions of the mutations were verified in vitro. The frequency of the mutations in the study subjects was compared with a theoretical value in the Japanese general population. Odds ratio (OR) for NBS positivity associated with the mutation was calculated. Using Bayes’ theorem, we estimated a posterior probability of NBS positivity given the mutation.

Results
Twenty-six monoallelic TSHR mutation carriers were found. Four out of the 26 also had a monoallelic DUOX2 mutation (double heterozygotes). The frequencies of monoallelic TSHR mutation carriers (6.6%) and double heterozygotes (1.0%) were significantly higher than those in the general population (0.58% and 0.0087%, respectively). OR for NBS positivity of having a monoallelic TSHR mutation or being a double heterozygote was 12.0 or 117.9, respectively. Posterior probability of NBS positivity was 0.38% in monoallelic TSHR mutation carriers and 3.8% in double heterozygotes.

Conclusions
Monoallelic TSHR mutations are significantly associated with NBS positivity, and the association is further strengthened by the coexistence of monoallelic DUOX2 mutations.

Published: November 2017

AbstractMitochondria are best known for harboring pathways involved in ATP synthesis through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Major advances in understanding these roles were made with Caenorhabditiselegans mutants affecting key components of the metabolic pathways. These mutants have not only helped elucidate some of the intricacies of metabolism pathways, but they have also served as jumping off points for pharmacology, toxicology, and aging studies. The field of mitochondria research has also undergone a renaissance, with the increased appreciation of the role of mitochondria in cell processes other than energy production. Here, we focus on discoveries that were made using C. elegans, with a few excursions into areas that were studied more thoroughly in other organisms, like mitochondrial protein import in yeast. Advances in mitochondrial biogenesis and membrane dynamics were made through the discoveries of novel functions in mitochondrial fission and fusion proteins. Some of these functions were only apparent through the use of diverse model systems, such as C. elegans. Studies of stress responses, exemplified by mitophagy and the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, have also benefitted greatly from the use of model organisms. Recent developments include the discoveries in C. elegans of cell autonomous and nonautonomous pathways controlling the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, as well as mechanisms for degradation of paternal mitochondria after fertilization. The evolutionary conservation of many, if not all, of these pathways ensures that results obtained with C. elegans are equally applicable to studies of human mitochondria in health and disease.

La academia como escenario de inclusión social
Authors: VILLA VILLA SANDRA IRINA 
Published: November 2017

La academia, atendiendo realidades sociales, políticas y económicas, se convierte en un escenario de inclusión a través del desarrollo de proyectos que tengan en cuenta a quienes históricamente han sido excluidos. Las consultas populares, los referendos, las iniciativas legislativas populares y los cabildos abiertos, son ejemplos claros de escenarios de democracia participativa que tienen sustento en la doctrina y en el trabajo científico que se hace desde la educación.
De igual manera, la investigación científica y sus resultados ofrece soluciones a los problemas estudiados y aproximaciones teóricas y prácticas a los que están por resolverse. Las evidencias de investigaciones desarrolladas, son muestra del alcance de la educación en las realidades sociales. La academia ha sido cercana a los problemas de la realidad colombiana y ha ofrecido soluciones de cara a escenarios de superación de conflictos armados para la construcción de paz y es por ello que su papel en el posconflicto debe ir encaminado a la inclusión social y a la divulgación del conocimiento científico que atienda lasnecesidades de la comunidad.
El arbitraje como cambio de paradigma para la administración de justicia. repensando la alternatividad desde la adjudicación del derecho
Authors: D’janon Donado Magda , Isaza-Zuluaga Carolina , Navarro-Suárez Doris del Carmen 
Published: November 2017

El arbitraje ha existido desde siempre en nuestra humanidad, pues los aparatos estatales de administración de justicia, en su forma incipiente y como génesis de lo que hoy conocemos, surgieron con la creación de los Estados modernos. Los conocedores de los métodos alternativos de solución de conflictos conciben ahora los mismos con una visión sistémica, pues ellos no están sólo para resolver conflictos de carácter privado sino que muestran un gran impacto social en nuestras complejas sociedades contemporáneas, en las que la justicia alternativa no puede entenderse de forma diferente a ser un ‘instrumento al servicio de la paz y del logro de una mayor y eficaz justicia en las relaciones jurídicas, sociales y políticas. Su alcance va hacia afrontar el tema de la justicia o la eliminación del conflicto que le ha sido presentado. En razón de lo anterior, el arbitraje es cada vez menos considerado como un sustituto de la jurisdicción estatal, ahora es más visto como aquella otra forma de administrar justicia.

Currently in the legislative, judicial, doctrinal,scientific and academic environment is frequently addressed the important question of evidence, so the finality of this research project is a break in the schemes that exist in this area, based on the concept of guardianship right to effective judicial proof, thus beginning a study concerning Supreme Court as the United States and the European Court of Human Rights to focus on the “Ostrava Case”, which proved a serious difficulty indirect discrimination probation using statistics evidence. In addition, background review of the Model Code of collective processes for Latin America and the Colombian law 472 of 1998 that provide statistics used for evidentiary purposes, allowing identify the statistical evidence as ideal for the protection of vulnerable populations and condition of discrimination in the absence of evidence substantiating the need for security and protection of their situation. Defending the thesis and descriptive statistics as evidence in serious difficulty collective facts and therefore evidence as to propose to his own substantial regulatory proceedings before international and national courts. Then a catalog of evidence subject only to traditional evidence contrasts with the evolution of law in the “modern world”.
The Effect Of Brand Experience Provider On Brand Experience: Focus On Korean Cosmetic Brand Shop
Authors: Jeong Gap Yeon , Im Chae Chang , Kim Min Suk 
Published: November 2017

This present research distinguishes brand experience providers of cosmetic companies that include three elements: Brand identity elements of cosmetic brand shops (feminine and environmental-friendly brand identity); Marketing mix elements (level of iconic product, level of steady-seller product, reasonable pricing, convenience of location, quality of additional service); Cosmetic brand store elements (effective product assortment, atmosphere of a store, availability of testers, proficiency of consultants). This paper aims to explore these elements and the effect of brand experience provider on all brand experience dimensions; sensory, affective, intellectual, and behavioral experience. After the review of extant studies, we propose 11 hypotheses.
Based on the collected 295 consumers of experienced cosmetic brand shop, the proposed model is testified with the SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 7.0 is supported. According to the result of empirical analysis, it turns out that, in terms of characteristics of brand experiential provider, 'feminine brand identity', 'iconic product', 'steady seller product', 'convenient location', 'additional service quality', 'assortment', 'atmosphere', 'self-tester', and 'consultant' affected the customers' holistic brand experience of cosmetic brand shop. However, 'environmental-friendly brand identity', 'reasonable price' results to have no influence on the holistic brand experience of brand of cosmetic brand shop. The study produced a theoretical implication on brand experience that it empirically approached to factors of brand experiential provider on holistic brand experience of store. The earlier studies were at best conceptual analysis or they mainly dealt with in-store factor, whereas this paper divides factors that affect the customer's overall experience into 'brand identity', 'marketing mix strategy', and 'physical environment of in-store'.
Adding Sustainable Value: Linkages Between Growth, Governance And Social Responsibility
Authors: Ramaswamy Vinita , Leavins John , Ueng C. Joe 
Published: November 2017

Key performance indicators such as high EPS and revenue growth are frequently used to evaluate high quality securities from successful companies. Characterized as “growth” stock, these stocks are accompanied by high PE and PB ratios, indicating compelling potential for future capital appreciation. However, relentless stress on high growth alone has its disadvantages, and research has clearly shown that growth by itself is not a sufficient condition for long-term sustainable value. Stakeholders driving company value also expect a strong underlying framework of accountability, transparency and fairness. Concepts of socially responsible investing add societal expectations of commitment to employees, consumers and the environment. This study explores the relationship between growth, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility as a possible basis for explaining long-term value. Initial results indicate that these growth companies tend to have robust financial metrics but with higher risk, as indicated by financial metrics and a lower score in governance policies, but display insignificant variances on social responsibility factors.
Bimodal Soil Pore Structure Investigated by a Combined Soil Water Retention Curve and X‐Ray Computed Tomography Approach
Authors: Zhou Hu , Mooney Sacha Jon , Peng Xinhua 
Published: November 2017

Core Ideas
Soil water retention curves of the paddy soil were bested fitted with bimodal models.
Computed‐tomography imaging and retention curves generated similar bimodal pore structure.
Combined use of organic and inorganic fertilizers increased structural porosity.
Textural porosity was not affected by fertilization treatments.
Well‐structured soils are considered to have bimodal pore structure, including textural pores between particles and structural pores between aggregates. Pore structure can be inferred from the soil water retention curve (SWRC) but our understanding of the 3‐D pore geometry that regulates this curve is limited. This study investigated the pore structure of a paddy soil under different fertilization regimes by both SWRC and X‐ray micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) imaging with the aim of comparing the two methods. Undisturbed soil aggregates and cores were collected from the surface layer of long‐term unfertilized (CK), inorganically fertilized (NPK), and organically and inorganically fertilized (NPKOM) paddy soils. Aggregates and cores were scanned with micro‐CT and pore structures were analyzed. The SWRCs were measured on the same CT‐scanned cores. Three unimodal models, three bimodal models, and one trimodal model were evaluated for fitting the SWRC and to derive soil pore size distribution (PSD). Results showed the SWRC of the paddy soil were best fitted with the bimodal lognormal (BLN) and double‐exponential (DE) models, with the derived PSD showing distinct bimodality. The micro‐CT images revealed the hierarchy structure of the paddy soil and a bimodal pattern in the PSDs. The structural porosities from BLN, DE models and CT imaging were consistent and correlated with the natural logarithm of saturated hydraulic conductivity. Long‐term application of NPKOM increased structural porosity though no significant differences were recorded in the textural porosity compared with the NPK and CK treatment, while the latter two showed a near identical pore structure. These results demonstrated the benefits of both approaches especially for soil structures with a bimodal pore structure such as the well‐structured paddy soil.
Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Fraction Accumulation with Long‐Term Biosolids Applications
Authors: Pan W. L. , Port L. E. , Xiao Y. , Bary A. I. , Cogger C. G. 
Published: November 2017

Core Ideas
Biosolids N contribute to wheat grain and soil N.
Applied biosolids contain light fraction and non‐hydrolyzable C and N.
Biosolids C efficiently increased soil C at 0.91 Mg C in soil per Mg C in added biosolids.
Buildup of non‐hydrolyzable, high C:N light fraction originates in light density biosolids.
High total and non‐hydrolyzable C retention rates have implications for greenhouse gas mitigation.
Global sustainability depends on the recycling of organic wastes, containing carbon and plant nutrients, back into food production. Biosolids are capable of building total soil organic matter, but their ability to build stable organic C and N fractions is less well understood. The sequestration of stable soil C and replacement of energy‐requiring commercial fertilizers both have implications for greenhouse gas mitigation. Our aim was to assess the effectiveness of biosolids amendments to store labile and stable soil C and N fractions while supplying crop N needs. Three rates of anaerobically digested biosolids were incorporated following wheat harvest every 4 yr in a wheat‐fallow system over 20 yr, and compared to a no‐fertilizer check and a standard commercial fertilizer treatment. Increases in total soil C and N correlated to cumulative application rates of total and acid‐resistant, non‐hydrolyzable (NH) C and N, with 91% of added biosolids C efficiently retained in soil. The soil accumulated light fraction (LF) C and N in biosolids treated plots, whereas the LF pools of the control plots decreased and LF pools in the commercial fertilizer plots stayed relatively constant. Total soil N correlated with cumulative biosolids N, with 35% of added biosolids N retained in the soil of which only 4% was stored in the soil NH N fraction. Anhydrous ammonia increased wheat yields by 27% over the 0‐fertilizer check, without increasing soil N. Biosolids markedly elevated total, stable and LF soil C and N pools in semiarid conditions, while maintaining comparable wheat productivity to commercially fertilized wheat‐fallow.

Core Ideas
2‐D distribution of Mehlich‐3 P across seeding row had no spatial pattern in no‐till and moldboard plow.
Horizontal distribution of Mehlich‐3 P was less sensitive to extrinsic factors.
Soil‐surface P accumulation in no‐till is due in part to P recycled by corn and soybean.
Surface P accumulation in no‐till is also due to the replenishment of solution P by residual P.
Improving soil test P assessment at plot scale is essential for productivity in conservation agriculture systems. We characterized the distribution of Mehlich‐3 P (PM3) concentrations at the decimetric scale with depth on either side of the sowing row in no‐till (NT) and moldboard plow (MP) plots fertilized with 35 kg P ha–1 every 2‐yr in a corn–soybean rotation (20‐yr). A total of 996 soil samples (83 samples × 2 depths [0–5 and 5–20 cm] × 6 plots [3 blocks each MP and NT]) were collected at corn harvest in 2012. The average PM3 concentrations in the 0‐ to 5‐cm layer were 35.7 and 63.4 mg kg–1 in MP and NT, respectively. The PM3 concentration in the 5‐ to 20‐cm depth was similar between MP and NT and averaged 32.0 mg kg–1. The horizontal distribution of PM3 concentrations in these plots was less sensitive to extrinsic factors including tillage, P fertilization and soil depth. High coefficients of variation were associated with PM3 data in both MP (77 and 63% at 0–5 and 5–20 cm, respectively) and NT plots (46 and 66% at 0–5 and 5–20 cm, respectively). It is possible that this strong overall variability overshadowed any PM3 pattern that could have been introduced by NT management. Geostatistical semivariance analysis indicated a predominance of random spatial dependence in most plots, except two plots (one MP and one NT) with moderate spatial structures. The 2‐D geospatial model related to tillage was not detected by the sampling grid used at this experimental site. Therefore, a similar sampling strategy would be appropriate and could be recommended for these two tillage systems in this long‐term corn–soybean rotation.
