A Split-Mouth Design Comparison for Lateral and Crestal Sinus Lift Techniques with Dental Implants Placements: Short Communication
Authors: Al-Almaie Saad , Kavarodi Abdul Majeed , Alorf Ali , Alzahrani Saeed 
Published: December 2017

Objective:The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of implant placement and patient appraisal for two sinus lift techniques using both crestal and lateral techniques for bilateral sinus left in a split-mouth design.Introduction:All implants were successfully osseointegrated without any clinical complications or peri-implant radiolucency during the follow-up period of maximum 3 years.Methods:In terms of outcomes postoperative vertigo showed to be a major concern with the crestal approach, this approach is preferred over the lateral technique because of the reduced time required for the procedure and because it is less invasive.Results:Most patients preferred the crestal approach over the lateral approach due to the delay in implant placement.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Policy Regarding Supervised Exercise for Patients With Intermittent Claudication: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Authors: Jewell Dianne V. , Shishehbor Mehdi H. , Walsworth Matthew K. 
Published: December 2017

On May 25, 2017, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a decision memo establishing coverage for supervised exercise therapy (SET) for Medicare beneficiaries experiencing intermittent claudication due to peripheral artery disease (PAD). A meaningful impact on population health is possible with greater freedom to participate in regular physical activity. The authors of this editorial explain the potential roles of physical therapists in the SET program and argue for further integration of physical therapists through collaborative practice.

'Being Maasai' in Markets and Trade: The Role of Ethnicity-based Institutions in the Livestock Market of Northern Tanzania
Authors: Allegretti Antonio 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The strong awareness of cultural and ethnic identity among the Maasai of Tanzania is very well known, as are the recent diversification and marketintegration processes that the Maasai are undertaking. It has seldom been highlighted, however, how the first is involved in the second: i.e. whether and how being Maasai 'matters' in market exchange. Here I argue that practices, values and social relationships underlying Maasai ethnic identity are crucial when applied to the realm of the livestock market. They are part of the structural organisation of the livestock market in that they aid Maasai market actors in minimising risk and costs, maximising returns, and dealing with the constraints of the market. A better understanding of the local dynamics of market exchange has important policy implications, in that it can open policymakers' eyes to the benefits of the traditional pastoral system for raising livestock.
Livestock Income of Mongolian Herders: A Path to Rural Prosperity?
Authors: Meurs Mieke , Amartuvshin Amarjargal , Banzragch Otgontogs 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Over the post-socialist period in Mongolia, the future of the herding sector has received significant attention. We draw on nationally representative survey data from 2007-2008 to examine the extent and type of herders' engagement with markets for livestock and livestock products, and factors associated with higher earnings from livestock. We show that nearly all Mongolian herding households participate in markets for livestock and livestock products. Some herding households earn limited amounts. Others are highly market-oriented, although most produce a diverse set of products from different types of animals. Regression analysis provides evidence that better access to water, information and transportation is associated with more income from livestock sales. The needed assets remain beyond the reach of many herding households, however. We note ways in which the work of Russian agronomist Alexander Chayanov may inform policies by international funding organisations to improve herder access to the necessary assets, promoting rural prosperity.
Mobile Phones and Socio-economic Transformation Among Fulani Pastoralists in Northern Benin
Authors: Djohy Georges , Edja Honorat , Schareika Nikolaus 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The mobile phone has spread recently in rural Benin as one of the new technologies most widely adopted by Fulani pastoralists, who have generally been regarded as hostile to novelty. This article analyses the logic and forms of appropriation of mobile phones in connection with the socio-economic transformation that accompany it. An ethnographic approach was used, involving individual interviews with participant observation in various settings where mobile phones are used by Fulani pastoralists to meet challenges they face in their daily lives. It appears from the study that the mobile phone, while bringing significant changes in the livelihood strategies of pastoralists, especially in terms of social connectedness, has at the moment limited economic impacts due to various factors including accessibility and ease of use. With regard to the mass adoption of mobile phones by pastoralists, we argue that socio-economic continuity and change are to be regarded not as opposites but as interconnected realities, and this needs to be taken into account to improve development policies in connection with pastoral communities.

Edaphic history over seedling characters predicts integration and plasticity of integration across geologically variable populations of Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: Cousins Elsa A. , Murren Courtney J. 
Published: December 2017

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Studies on phenotypic plasticity and plasticity of integration have uncovered functionally linked modules of aboveground traits and seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana, but we lack details about belowground variation in adult plants. Functional modules can be comprised of additional suites of traits that respond to environmental variation. We assessed whether shoot and root responses to nutrient environments in adult A. thaliana were predictable from seedling traits or population‐specific geologic soil characteristics at the site of origin.METHODS:We compared 17 natural accessions from across the native range of A. thaliana using 14‐day‐old seedlings grown on agar or sand and plants grown to maturity across nutrient treatments in sand. We measured aboveground size, reproduction, timing traits, root length, and root diameter. Edaphic characteristics were obtained from a global‐scale dataset and related to field data.KEY RESULTS:We detected significant among‐population variation in root traits of seedlings and adults and in plasticity in aboveground and belowground traits of adult plants. Phenotypic integration of roots and shoots varied by population and environment. Relative integration was greater in roots than in shoots, and integration was predicted by edaphic soil history, particularly organic carbon content, whereas seedling traits did not predict later ontogenetic stages.CONCLUSIONS:Soil environment of origin has significant effects on phenotypic plasticity in response to nutrients, and on phenotypic integration of root modules and shoot modules. Root traits varied among populations in reproductively mature individuals, indicating potential for adaptive and integrated functional responses of root systems in annuals.
Ernest Solvay, Max Weber et l’énergie. De l’évaluation énergétique de l’activit é sociale aux valeurs sociales des activités énergétiques.
Authors: Saraceno Marco , Seguin Thomas 
Published: December 2017

Cet article est consacré à l’énergétisme social du philanthrope belge Ernest Solvay, théorie de la fin du xix	e	siècle concevant la sociologie comme une discipline appelée à faire en sorte que la société tende vers son rendement maximum à travers l’application des lois énergétiques physico-chimiques aux phénomènes sociaux. Cette théorie conduit à des impasses riches d’enseignements pour les tentatives contemporaines qui s’attachent à fonder une sociologie de l’énergie. Comme le montre Max Weber dans un texte critique qui sera au cœur de notre article, en réduisant l’efficacité sociale de l’énergie à sa mesure technique, Solvay ne saisit pas l’enjeu de toute analyse sociologique de l’énergie : l’étude des processus socio­culturels par lesquels une société valorise comme « utile » une certaine transformation d’énergie.
CEOs’ information security behavior in SMEs: Does ownership matter?
Authors: Barlette Yves , Gundolf Katherine , Jaouen Annabelle 
Published: December 2017

Jusqu’à présent, la recherche dans le domaine des comportements en sécurité de l’information a été majoritairement centrée sur les employés de grandes entreprises. Cependant, les PME constituent un champ d’études pertinent car elles représentent plus de 99% des entreprises en Europe et font face à des menaces en forte croissance touchant à leur sécurité. De plus, les dirigeants de PME jouent un rôle vital dans la protection des informations, au travers des actions qu’ils peuvent mettre en œuvre ou l’influence qu’ils ont sur leurs employés. Nous visons à contribuer à la recherche en sécurité de l’information, car peu d’études se sont intéressées aux comportements des dirigeants, relatifs à la mise en place de mesures de protection de l’information. De plus, la littérature académique a montré que, particulièrement dans un contexte de PME, le fait que le dirigeant soit propriétaire à une influence sur ses comportements. Les études portant sur les PME sont encore plus rares, d’autant plus si l’on s’intéresse à l’influence de la propriété sur les comportements des dirigeants en matière de sécurité de l’information. Ce papier présente une recherche empirique basée sur la théorie de la motivation à la protection (PMT) qui traite de la question de recherche suivante : « Quels facteurs peuvent expliquer les comportements relatifs à la protection des informations des dirigeants de PME ? » Nous avons mené une étude auprès de 292 dirigeants de PME, les données collectées ont été analysées par la méthode des moindres carrés partiels (PLS). La littérature académique ayant montré que le comportement des dirigeants de PME est spécifique, nous avons testé l’influence de la PMT sur deux sous-populations : les dirigeants propriétaires (n=183) et non-propriétaires (n=109). Nos résultats mettent en évidence des différences très importantes et significatives entre ces deux sous-groupes. L’originalité de notre travail tient au fait qu’il constitue la première étude dédiée aux comportements des dirigeants de PME en matière de protection des informations, distinguant de plus les propriétaires des non-propriétaires. Notre principale contribution théorique correspond à la mise en évidence et à l’étude de cette population différenciée, à approfondir dans de futures recherches. L’implication managériale majeure de notre travail est que, comme les facteurs qui sont à la base des comportements de protection des dirigeants-propriétaires sont presque en contraste total comparés à ceux des dirigeants non-propriétaires, toute communication ou action devrait être spécifiquement adaptée à chacune de ces deux populations.
Evaluation of Short and Regular Implants after Prosthesis Placement in the Mandible: A Nonrandomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Authors: Lages Frederico S , Rivera Carolina P , de Souza Faloni Ana P 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT

Aim
The aim of this nonrandomized controlled preliminary clinical trial was to compare treatment using short and conventional implants in the posterior region of the mandible after prosthesis installation by means of clinical, resonance frequency, and radiographic analyses.

Materials and methods
A total of 10 patients with 40 dental implants already installed were included in this study. Four implants were installed for each subject, in which the length of the implants (short and conventional) was distributed according to the reminiscent alveolar bone in the left and right side of the mandible. All implants received splinted prosthesis after the osseointegration period. Analyses were performed immediately after prosthesis installation (T1), and 3 (T2) and 6 months (T3) after prosthesis placement.

Results
The 6-month survival and success rates were 100% for the short and conventional implants. Probing depths (PDs) after 6 months did not show statistical differences between short and conventional implants. All groups showed mean implant stability quotient (ISQ) values above 60 in all periods evaluated, demonstrating great implant stability, and no differences were found between groups at T3. Radiographic measurements showed an increased bone loss for conventional implants compared with short implants in all the three periods evaluated.

Conclusion
Our findings suggest that treatment of resorbed posterior regions in the mandible with shorter dental implants is as reliable as treatment with conventional implants after 6 months of splinted prosthesis installation.

Clinical significance
Short implants might be considered a predictable treatment alternative to bone augmentation or extensive surgical techniques in regions of restricted vertical bone height in the posterior region of the mandible.

Assessment of Proliferative Potential of Odontogenic Keratocyst and Dentigerous Cyst using Podoplanin: An Immunohistochemical Study
Authors: Rao Prashant , Paliwal Aparna , Grover Shekhar , Gupta Sandeep , Choudaha Nidhi 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Odontogenic cysts are commonly encountered lesions among head and neck pathologies. Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) has unique features of recurrence and local aggressiveness. Podoplanin (PDP) is a lymphatic endothelial marker and is shown to be expressed in a variety of tissues. Hence, we planned to assess the significance of PDP in OKC and dentigerous cyst (DC).

Materials and methods
The present study included assessment of immunoexpression of PDP in OKC and DC. Twenty specimens each of OKC and DC were included in the present study and were stained with D2-40 antibody. All the sections were analyzed and were categorized as negative staining, weakly positive staining, and strongly positive staining. All the results were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software.

Results
We detected PDP-positive staining in the cell membrane and cytoplasm of the cells of basal cell layer and suprabasal cell layers. In DC cases, we observed positive staining only in cases associated with inflammation.

Conclusion
Podoplanin does play a significant role in enhancing the local invasive and neoplastic properties of OKC.

Clinical significance
Podoplanin expression in OKC is potentially associated with moderate invasive nature of the neighboring structures.

Published: December 2017

Environmental cracking (EC) susceptibility of low-alloy steels with a specified minimum yield strength of 655 MPa (95 ksi) and 758 MPa (110 ksi) manufactured by quenching and tempering heat treatments was investigated in high H2S partial pressures (more than 1.0 MPa) using four-point bend tests in autoclaves. The H2S partial pressures and testing temperatures varied from 1.0 MPa to 10 MPa and 24°C to 150°C, respectively. Materials of grades 95 ksi and 110 ksi containing high Cr and Mo showed no macrocracking under all tested conditions. Localized corrosion occurred at several locations after exposure for 1 month under high H2S pressure and high-temperature conditions. It was concluded that the localized corrosion did not form macrocracking even after long-term (3 months) immersion tests. On the other hand, 110 ksi grade material containing low Cr and Mo suffered from sulfide stress cracking at low temperatures (below 66°C) and at an H2S pressure of 1.0 MPa. The material also showed EC at an H2S pressure of 10 MPa and temperature from 107°C to 150°C. The difference of EC susceptibility among the materials is discussed based on corrosion reactions, hydrogen absorption, and morphologies of the corrosion products on the steel surface.
Hydration status and diurnal trophic interactions shape microbial community function in desert biocrusts
Authors: Kim Minsu , Or Dani 
Published: December 2017

Abstract. Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are self-organised thin assemblies of microbes, lichens, and mosses that are ubiquitous in arid regions and serve as important ecological and biogeochemical hotspots. Biocrust ecological function is intricately shaped by strong gradients of water, light, oxygen, and dynamics in the abundance and spatial organisation of the microbial community within a few millimetres of the soil surface. We report a mechanistic model that links the biophysical and chemical processes that shape the functioning of biocrust representative microbial communities that interact trophically and respond dynamically to cycles of hydration, light, and temperature. The model captures key features of carbon and nitrogen cycling within biocrusts, such as microbial activity and distribution (during early stages of biocrust establishment) under diurnal cycles and the associated dynamics of biogeochemical fluxes at different hydration conditions. The study offers new insights into the highly dynamic and localised processes performed by microbial communities within thin desert biocrusts.
Operative findings and complications associated with adjunctive hip arthroscopy in 95 hips undergoing periacetabular osteotomy
Authors: Gosey Gregory Maxwell , Muldoon Michael P , Healey Robert M , Santore Richard F 
Published: December 2017

Purpose: to report our initial experience with adjunctive hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). Methods: Retrospective review of patients who underwent PAO and ipsilateral hip arthroscopy between 2003 and 2013. Indications for arthroscopy were mechanical symptoms and/or positive magnetic resonance imaging to suggest intra-articular pathology including chondrolabral lesions, ligamentum teres tears and hypertrophy, and synovitis. Preoperative Tönnis arthritis grades, age, sex, operative findings and treatment, complications, and, if available, hip survival were recorded. Results: Of 78 patients (95 hips) included, 64 (82%) were female and 14 (18%) male, average age was 30.6 (14-63) years. Tönnis grades were 0 in 40 hips (42%), 1 in 45 hips (47%), and 2 in 10 hips (11%). No Tönnis 3 hips were included. 84% of hips demonstrated labral pathology. 92% had chondromalacia, which was severe enough in 4 patients to warrant cancellation of PAO; all 4 have subsequently required total hip replacement at short-term follow-up. Labral debridement was performed in 73 hips and refixation in 7. 5 postoperative complications occurred – none major, including 1 fluid extravasation, 1 case of heterotopic ossification, and 3 transient neuropraxias. Conclusions: Intraarticular pathology is highly prevalent in patients undergoing PAO with mechanical symptoms, and can be safely managed by adjunctive arthroscopy. Complications were minimal in our series and are comparable to reports of PAO without arthroscopy. Arthroscopy can treat pathology that is inaccessible during standalone PAO and permits avoidance of routine arthrotomy, surgical dislocation, rectus release, and futile PAO in cases with severe articular damage.
Rhetoricity at the End of the World
Authors: Davis Diane 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT
The putative dichotomy between meaning and matter is mostly resolved in rhetorical studies through a negative deconstruction in which “world” is covered by an all-encompassing discursive field. In response to this radical linguisticism, I return to Derrida, who is often cited as one of its mouthpieces, to pick up his elaborations of the textual structuring of life “itself,” both genetic and psychic, the ontologizing force of which I'll describe as a prelusive and anahuman rhetoricity.
