Abstract
Background and study aims The standard colonoscopy preparation regimen in Japan for afternoon procedures is sequential intake of 1 L of polyethylene glycol electrolyte lavage solution containing ascorbic acid (PEG-ASC), 0.5 L of clear liquid, 0.5 L of PEG-ASC, and finally 0.25 L of clear fluids (all at a rate of 0.25 L every 15 min). However, this regimen seems poorly tolerated and complicated for many patients compared to previous regimen of polyethylene glycol electrolyte lavage solution. The aim of this study was to evaluate an alternate regimen of 0.5 L of PEG-ASC followed by 0.25 L clear liquids, repeated 3 times.
Patients and methods This was a single-blinded, non-inferiority, randomized controlled study. Subjects were randomized to the standard regimen or the alternate regimen using a web-based registry system. All patients were instructed to eat a pre-packaged, low residue diet and to take sodium picosulfate hydrate the day before colonoscopy. The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale was used to evaluate bowel cleansing, and a 3-point scale was used to assess mucosal visibility. The primary endpoint was successful bowel cleansing. The acceptability, tolerability, safety, and endoscopic findings of these two regimens were secondary endpoints.
Results A total of 409 patients were randomized to either the standard regimen (n = 204, males 54.0 %, mean age 65.5 years) or the alternate regimen (n = 205, 54.6 %, 65.0 years). The rates of successful bowel cleansing were 71.1 % (64.3 – 77.2 %) with the standard regimen vs. 75.1 % (68.6 – 80.9 %) with the alternate regimen (95 % lower confidence limit, for the difference = – 4.6, non-inferiority P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in tolerability, safety, and endoscopic findings.
Conclusion The alternate regimen and standard regimen are clinically equivalent with respect to cleansing efficacy and acceptability, tolerability, safety, and endoscopic findings. These results are good news for patients with difficulty drinking the first liter of PEG-ASC.
Efficacy and safety of a combination of hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and poloxamer 407 as a submucosal injection solution for endoscopic resection: pilot study on a swine model

Published: July 2017

Abstract
Background and aims Endoscopic resection techniques require use of submucosal injection. The aim of this study was to assess a new solution that combines hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and poloxamer 407 for submucosal injection.
Methods A total of 48 gastric submucosal cushions were created in fresh porcine stomachs using gelafundin (n = 16) or the new solution diluted at 50 % (n = 16), or 80 % (n = 16). The duration of mucosal elevation was measured. In an in vivo model, 10 gastric submucosal cushions were created by injecting 2 mL of the new solution at 80 % and the animal was euthanized 30 minutes after the last injection.
Results Submucosal cushions with the new solution at 80 % and 50 % concentration lasted longer than with gelafundin (23.13 ± 15.57, 13.1 ± 6.6, 3.94 ± 1.53 minutes, respectively; P = 0.000). In the in vivo study, no damage or necrosis was observed in the mucosa or muscularis propria.
Conclusion The combination of hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and poloxamer 407 produces a long-lasting submucosal cushion and does not seem to induce acute damage in the tissue making it suitable for submucosal injection.

ZusammenfassungUnter einer EPI (exokrine Pankreasinsuffizienz) versteht man eine ungenügende Produktion von Verdauungssäften in der Bauchspeicheldrüse. In
der Folge dieser Insuffizienz kommt es zunächst zu einer Steatorrhoe. Später sinkt die Verdauungsleistung für Eiweiße und zum Schluss auch
für Kohlenhydrate. Die übliche Therapie mit Enzymen erscheint einfach, greift aber bei einer schweren EPI nicht. Warum nicht und wie dem zu
begegnen ist, wird im Rahmen dieses Beitrags dargestellt.
Das Mikrobiom als Therapieziel bei funktionellen und chronisch entzündlichen Magen-Darm-Erkrankungen
Authors: Langhorst Jost , Koch Anna K. 
Published: July 2017

ZusammenfassungDas Mikrobiom spielt eine wichtige Rolle im Krankheitsgeschehen funktioneller sowie chronisch entzündlicher Darmerkrankungen (CED). Im Zuge
der gesteigerten Aufmerksamkeit für das Mikrobiom wurde nach der Etablierung der Probiotikatherapie in den S3-Leitlinien für Colitis
ulcerosa und das Reizdarmsyndrom auch die Therapieform des fäkalen Mikrobiotatransfers wiederentdeckt. Die standardisierte Anwendung im
klinischen Alltag für die Indikationen CED und Reizdarmsyndrom ist jedoch noch nicht in Aussicht. Weitere Ansätze mit potenziell positiven
Effekten auf das Mikrobiom bieten darüber hinaus Phytotherapeutika. Bei Patienten, die an funktionellen oder chronisch entzündlichen
Darmbeschwerden leiden, können diese das Behandlungsspektrum wirkungsvoll ergänzen und erweitern.

ZusammenfassungImmer mehr Menschen sind auf der Suche, nach einem Lebensstil, der sie langfristig gesund halten kann. Bitterstoffe ziehen dabei nur wenige
in Betracht, obwohl sie eine ganze Fülle an Wirkmechanismen im Körper entfalten und den Körper vor zahlreichen Funktionsstörungen schützen
können. So wirken Polyphenole, Tannine und Terpene in bitteren Pflanzen direkt auf die darmassoziierte Mikroflora ein, verbessern die
Verdauung, wirken antioxidativ, leberprotektiv und schützen vor Metainflammationen im Körper. Aufgrund ihrer wichtigen Bedeutung für die
Gesundheit sollten Bitterstoffe daher am besten täglich über die Ernährung oder über Nahrungsergänzungsmittel zugeführt werden.
Rainforest-initiated wet season onset over the southern Amazon
Authors: Wright Jonathon S. , Fu Rong , Worden John R. , Chakraborty Sudip , Clinton Nicholas E. , Risi Camille , Sun Ying , Yin Lei 
Published: July 2017

Significance
This analysis provides compelling observational evidence that rainforest transpiration during the late dry season plays a central role in initiating the dry-to-wet season transition over the southern Amazon. Transpiration first activates shallow convection that preconditions the atmosphere for regional-scale deep convection, rather than directly activating deep convection as previously proposed. Isotopic fingerprints in atmospheric moisture unequivocally identify rainforest transpiration as the primary moisture source for shallow convection during the transition. This “shallow convection moisture pump” thus depends on high transpiration rates during the late dry season, affirming the potential for climate and land use changes to alter or disrupt wet season onset in this region.
There’s grammar and there’s grammar just as there’s usage and there’s usage
Authors: McGregor William B. 
Published: July 2017

Usage-based grammars have become increasingly prominent in recent years. In these theories usage is construed quantitatively and serves as a circumstance for the emergence and development of grammar. This paper argues that usage can go deeper than this, and may become a component of the semiotic resources of a language and a part of grammar. However, this semioticisation is restricted to interpersonal grammar, those semiotic resources of grammar that construe interpersonal meaning. Three apparently unrelated grammatical phenomena – optionality of grammatical markers, insubordination, and a range of repetition-based constructions – are shown to be unified by the notions of grammaticalised usage and interpersonal grammar. This has implications for the nature of interpersonal grammar: it represents the codification of the triadic actional frame, the basis of which is the idea that action on an interlocutor is effected via action on linguistic units.
se-marked directed motion constructions
Authors: Armstrong Grant 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
This paper discusses the descriptive properties of se-marked directed motion constructions typically instantiated by verbs such as caer-se (fall-se), ir-se (go-se) or subir-se (go up-se). I argue that such constructions are surface representations of two distinct underlying syntactic configurations: an anticausative (Schäfer, 2008) and a figure reflexive (Wood, 2014). The anticausative analysis corroborates work on the same topic by Cuervo (2014), Jiménez-Fernández & Tubino (2014) and Pineda (2016) while the figure reflexive analysis is a novel contribution.
“Extraña uno lo que es la tortillas”
Authors: Mojedano Batel Andrea 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Regarding studies of Spanish in contact with Latin American indigenous languages, there has been little research on contact between Spanish and Purépecha, a language isolate from western Mexico. The present paper addresses this lacuna by examining number marking and number agreement in the Spanish production of five L1 adult Purépecha speakers, and it contributes to both the fields of second language studies and contact linguistics studies, by detecting specific structural and semantic conditions under which Purépecha morphosyntactic patterns are incorporated into Spanish: Results show non-standard number marking and lack of number agreement across the noun phrase, between the subject and the verb, and between the noun and its predicative adjective, possibly due to a shift dynamic (Thomason, 2001).
Mothers’ use of F0 after the first year of life in American English and Peninsular Spanish
Authors: Sánchez-Alvarado Covadonga , Arias Alvarez Alba , García-Fernández Eduardo , McAlister Isaac , Armstrong Meghan E. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Infant-directed speech has been shown to be different from adult-directed speech in that it is generally characterized by short, acoustically exaggerated (e.g. higher F0 peaks, wider F0 range) utterances (Fernald et al., 1989; Kitamura et al., 2001, inter alia). Thus, at some point parents begin to change these acoustic parameters once the child is no longer an infant. The present study uses longitudinal data to compare F0 use in two language varieties, American English (AE) and Peninsular Spanish (PS), in an effort to understand how two prosodic aspects (mean F0 and F0 range) change after a child’s first birthday. Specifically, we asked how these parameters might change as a function of the child’s linguistic development, here defined as the children’s mean length of utterance (MLU). Results show that mothers show changes in their use of both of these parameters after the second birthday, with turning points between 28 and 31 months. MLU was not found to be a significant predictor for either language. Additionally, despite differences in how AE and PS exploit F0 for expressing focus, both AE- and PS-speaking mothers were shown to use more narrow F0 range for utterances not containing a focused element sometime after 30 months. Implications for language acquisition are discussed.
An initial examination of imperfect subjunctive variation in Catalonian Spanish
Authors: McKinnon Sean 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
While most Romance languages have only one morphological form for the imperfect subjunctive, Spanish exhibits variation between two morphological paradigms: -ra and -se. The present study investigated the distribution of these forms according to linguistic factors in Catalonian Spanish, a variety in close contact with Catalan. A corpus of 1,075 imperfect subjunctive tokens was compiled from the letters to the editor section of the regional newspaper La Vanguardia. Results show that the overall distribution of -se is slightly higher than what has been reported for European Spanish. Furthermore, a multivariate analysis revealed that structural priming, the existence of a cognate verb in Catalan and the combination of local frequency and morphological irregularity in the imperfect subjective significantly favor the use of -se.
Testing English influence on first person singular “yo” subject pronoun expression in Sonoran Spanish
Authors: Bessett Ryan M. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The present investigation seeks to explore the impact that contact with English has on the variation of first person singular “yo” subject pronoun expression in Sonoran Spanish by analyzing sociolinguistic interviews from sixteen monolinguals from Sonora, Mexico and sixteen bilinguals from Arizona, United States from Sonora born parents/grandparents. Based on previous research, it is expected that if there is English influence on the Spanish of the bilinguals, there will be an increased rate of expressed pronouns, the bilinguals will show decreased sensitivity to switch reference, there will be a decrease of expressed pronouns in coordinate clauses with the same referent, and community (Arizona/Sonora) will be a significant factor. These hypotheses are not born out and thus the results show a lack of evidence for English influence on the variable for the bilinguals in the study.
An automatic part-of-speech tagger for Middle Low German
Authors: Koleva Mariya , Farasyn Melissa , Desmet Bart , Breitbarth Anne , Hoste Véronique 
Published: July 2017

AbstractSyntactically annotated corpora are highly important for enabling large-scale diachronic and diatopic language research. Such corpora have recently been developed for a variety of historical languages, or are still under development. One of those under development is the fully tagged and parsed Corpus of Historical Low German (CHLG), which is aimed at facilitating research into the highly under-researched diachronic syntax of Low German. The present paper reports on a crucial step in creating the corpus, viz. the creation of a part-of-speech tagger for Middle Low German (MLG). Having been transmitted in several non-standardised written varieties, MLG poses a challenge to standard POS taggers, which usually rely on normalized spelling. We outline the major issues faced in the creation of the tagger and present our solutions to them.

Talent stories in youth sports
Authors: Kilger Magnus 
Published: July 2017

AbstractSuccess stories are a frequently investigated genre of shared cultural narratives. This paper will pay particular attention to success stories in sports and investigate how young participants in selection camps in soccer and hockey are using a set of shared narratives in order to produce their personal stories of success. By looking at narratives-in-interaction in this specific context, these interviews are investigated as a narrative genre. The analysis shows how a set of shared narratives are used in storylines in order to legitimize the personal story of success and how a number of dilemmatic spaces are addressed. This study shows how personal success stories are intimately tied to “discursively shared narratives” and how this context constitutes a specific narrative framework.
Narrating “Made in Italy”
Authors: Kohler Gregory , Perrino Sabina 
Published: July 2017

AbstractIn this article, we examine how executives in Italian family-owned firms use their corporations’ histories to associate particular moral discourses of cultural values, responsibility, and authenticity with the “Made in Italy” brand. These links render Made in Italy a national brand – a brand representing all goods produced in Italy and an “authentic” national treasure. Through an analysis of Italian executives’ oral narratives, this article explores how collective identities are constructed in interview settings and how Made in Italy emerges through the various stances that these managers take regarding certain topics. We focus on the ways Italian executives align their corporate narratives, family histories, and brand identities with circulating ideologies on the significance of Made in Italy. By looking at how Italian managers enact Made in Italy as a national brand with collective responsibilities, this article contributes to recent research on narrative discursive practices in the corporate world.
Faucet: streaming de novo assembly graph construction
Authors: Rozov Roye , Goldshlager Gil , Halperin Eran , Shamir Ron 
Published: July 2017

Abstract

Motivation
We present Faucet, a two-pass streaming algorithm for assembly graph construction. Faucet builds an assembly graph incrementally as each read is processed. Thus, reads need not be stored locally, as they can be processed while downloading data and then discarded. We demonstrate this functionality by performing streaming graph assembly of publicly available data, and observe that the ratio of disk use to raw data size decreases as coverage is increased.

Results
Faucet pairs the de Bruijn graph obtained from the reads with additional meta-data derived from them. We show these metadata—coverage counts collected at junction k-mers and connections bridging between junction pairs—contain most salient information needed for assembly, and demonstrate they enable cleaning of metagenome assembly graphs, greatly improving contiguity while maintaining accuracy. We compared Fauceted resource use and assembly quality to state of the art metagenome assemblers, as well as leading resource-efficient genome assemblers. Faucet used orders of magnitude less time and disk space than the specialized metagenome assemblers MetaSPAdes and Megahit, while also improving on their memory use; this broadly matched performance of other assemblers optimizing resource efficiency—namely, Minia and LightAssembler. However, on metagenomes tested, Faucet,o outputs had 14–110% higher mean NGA50 lengths compared with Minia, and 2- to 11-fold higher mean NGA50 lengths compared with LightAssembler, the only other streaming assembler available.

Jean-Luc Nancy and the Identity of a People
Authors: Ellison Matthew 
Published: July 2017

Abstract

Jean-Luc Nancy’s thought consistently positions itself against political forms grounded in ideas of essence or belonging. Accordingly, it sometimes portrays the concept of identity in a negative light, tending instead to gesture towards the ontological exposure at the heart of any political configuration. This tendency has led critics to claim that Nancy regards identity as a priori disastrous and to be dismissed outright. Nonetheless, a careful reading of Nancy’s work reveals a recurring preoccupation with the question of collective identity. As this article suggests, Nancy’s critique is directed less against identity as such than the ‘infinite identity’ that would bestow a totalizing ‘work’ on the collective. Indeed, Nancy constantly insists that politics cannot do without some degree of identity or figure, however skeletal. The question we must then ask is how we are to conceive this minimal figuration. One way of approaching such a figuration, I shall argue, lies in Nancy’s treatment of the proper name. This article develops Nancy’s thinking of identity and the name, showing how it allows us to think a limited coherence of the collective — here of a ‘people’ — in a way that nevertheless resists its closure, ultimately to think identity
as
this resistance.
Ultrasound Characteristics of Clinically Dislocated But Reducible Hips With DDH
Authors: Striano Brendan , Schaeffer Emily K. , Matheney Travis H. , Upasani Vidayadhar V. , Price Charles T. , Mulpuri Kishore , Sankar Wudbhav N. 
Published: July 2017

Background:
Although ultrasound (US) is frequently used in diagnosis and management of infantile developmental dysplasia of the hip, precise ultrasonographic parameters of what constitutes a dislocation, subluxation etc remain poorly defined. The purpose of this study was (1) to describe the ultrasonographic characteristics of a large cohort of clinically dislocated but reducible hips and (2) to begin to develop ultrasonographic definitions for what constitutes a hip dislocation.

Methods:
A retrospective review of prospectively collected data from an international multicenter study group on developmental dysplasia of the hip was conducted on all patients under 6 months of age with hip(s) that were dislocated at rest but reducible based on initial physical examination (ie, Ortolani positive). Femoral head coverage (FHC), alpha angle (α), and beta angle (β) were measured on pretreatment US by the individual treating surgeon, and were recorded directly into the database.

Results:
Based on 325 Ortolani positive hips, the median FHC on presentation was 10% with an interquartile range of 0% to 23%. A total of 126 of the 327 hips (39%) demonstrated 0% FHC. The 90th percentile was found to be at 33% FHC. Of 264 hips with sufficient α data, the median α was 43 degrees with an interquartile range from 37 to 49 degrees. The 90th percentile for α was at 54 degrees. A total of 164 hips had documented β with a median of 66 degrees and an interquartile range of 57 to 79 degrees; the 90th percentile was at 94 degrees.

Conclusions:
Analysis of a large cohort of patients with dislocated but reducible hips reveals a median percent FHC of 10%, a median α of 43 degrees, and a median β of 66 degrees on initial US. Using a threshold at the 90th percentile, a sensible ultrasonographic definition of a dislocated hip seems to be FHC≤33%, implying that FHC between 34% and 50% may be reasonably termed a subluxation. Although these findings are consistent with previous, smaller reports, further prospective research is necessary to validate these thresholds.

Level IV—diagnostic study.
