The new media landscape is characterized by the fragmentation and disaffection of the audience towards The new media landscape is characterized by the fragmentation and disaffection of the audience towards traditional television. Such a context requires innovative strategies to meet the needs of the public and connect with it. This article analyses the ability of Neuroscience to optimize the production of content adapted to audiences. For this purpose, a review of management and economic reports and corporate websites of the European public broadcasters (N=100) was carried out, as well as the evolution of the audience in the period 2010-15. Also, an exploratory analysis and in-depth interviews with open and closed questionnaires was undertaken. The data collect the opinion of neuroscientific experts, Neuromarketing consultants, academics and professionals in European public television (N=22) on the usefulness and introduction of this science for audience research, its possible application in programming, and the role of Neuroeducation in the design of educational programmes. The findings determine that almost a dozen public service media in Europe are already applying audiovisual Neuromarketing as an incipient and innovative tool to test entertainment programmes, commercial spaces and competitiveness improvement strategies. However, it has not been implemented in educational content, which is a core mission of public broadcasters.El nuevo panorama mediático, caracterizado por la fragmentación y desafección de las audiencias hacia la televisión tradicional, urge la incorporación de innovadoras estrategias que atiendan a las demandas de sus públicos y conecten con ellos. El presente artículo analiza la capacidad de la Neurociencia para optimizar la producción de contenidos adaptados a las preferencias de los espectadores y comprueba la introducción de esta metodología en las radiotelevisiones públicas europeas. Para ello se realizó una revisión de los informes de gestión, memorias de cuentas y webs de las radiotelevisiones públicas estatales y regionales de la Unión Europea (N=100) así como de la evolución de sus audiencias de 2010-15. Complementariamente, a partir de un análisis exploratorio y de entrevistas en profundidad con cuestionario abierto y cerrado, se recogió la opinión de expertos neurocientíficos, consultores de Neuromarketing, académicos y profesionales de la televisión pública europea (N=22) sobre la utilidad e introducción de esta ciencia para el estudio de las audiencias y su aplicación en la programación, y el rol de la Neuroeducación en el diseño de programas educativos. Los resultados determinan que cerca de una docena de RTV públicas ya aplican el Neuromarketing audiovisual como herramienta innovadora para probar y diseñar productos de entretenimiento, bloques comerciales y estrategias de mejora de la competitividad frente a su implementación en la programación educativa, encomienda principal del servicio público.
Dispositifs participatifs et asymétries de pouvoir : expliciter et interroger les positionnements

Published: May 2017

Si de nombreux auteurs dénoncent le manque de prise en compte des asymétries de pouvoir entre les acteurs dans les processus participatifs, plus rares sont ceux qui abordent la question du comment, à savoir comment prendre en compte ces asymétries de pouvoir dans la mise en œuvre d’un processus participatif ? Cette question implique pour les porteurs de ces processus (chercheurs ou professionnels de la participation) de réfléchir à leur positionnement vis-à-vis de ces asymétries, et donc d’interroger un certain nombre de présupposés théoriques voire idéologiques, souvent inconscients et rarement formulés. Revendiquent-ils une certaine neutralité, une absence de parti pris, au risque de participer à une simple reproduction voire à un renforcement des asymétries de pouvoir initiales ? Revendiquent-ils au contraire une non-neutralité, en choisissant de renforcer la voix des acteurs ou des points de vue les moins influents, au risque de voir questionnée leur légitimité à intervenir ainsi sur les rapports de force au sein d’une société ? Dans cet article, nous présentons un outil que nous avons développé, un test destiné à faire expliciter aux porteurs de processus participatifs leur positionnement vis-à-vis des asymétries de pouvoir. Nous l’avons soumis à une cinquantaine de chercheurs et professionnels de la participation. L’analyse des résultats nous a permis de mettre en évidence cinq grands types de positionnements dont la cohérence interne renvoie à différentes façons de concevoir la légitimité de leur intervention.
Three Different Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Measurement Methods for Assessing Capillary Density Changes in Diabetic Retinopathy
Authors: Pedinielli Alexandre , Bonnin Sophie , Sanharawi Mohamed El , Mané Valérie , Erginay Ali , Couturier Aude , Tadayoni Ramin 
Published: May 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To compare capillary density (CD) changes assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) during diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression using three previously published methods: binarization, skeletonization, and automated flow density (AFD).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Retrospective study of 98 eyes of 74 patients with diabetes and 18 control eyes imaged using OCTA. The macular CD at each stage of DR was assessed using the three methods and were compared to control eyes.

RESULTS:
AFD was the only method that detected differences between controls and severe nonproliferative DR eyes. The three methods showed a significant difference in CD between controls and eyes with proliferative DR, except for the “fovea” area.

CONCLUSION:
Only one of the three methods allowed for the detection of changes from the normal capillary density as early as at the “severe nonproliferative DR” stage due to several refinements from the basic technique.

Blesteča krvomočnica (Geranium lucidum L.), novost v flori slovenskega dela Julijskih Alp / Geranium lucidum L., a novelty in the flora of Slovenian part of the Julian Alps
Authors: Trnkoczy Amadej , Dakskobler Igor 
Published: May 2017

Opisujemo nova nahajališča vrste Geranium lucidum v Trnovskem gozdu in njeno nenavadno pojavljanje v dolini zgornje Soče med vasema Soča in Trenta v Julijskih Alpah. V Trnovskem gozdu so njena nahajališča skalnati altimontanski bukovi gozdovi, ki jih uvrščamo v asociacijo Isopyro-Fagetum, deloma tudi meliščne združbe, v spodnjem delu doline Trente pa ruderalizirana travišča in kamnite groblje v bližini človekovih bivališč oz. med prometnico in reko Sočo. Menimo, da so ta nahajališča najbrž sekundarna ali subs- pontana. Njena semena bi v Trento lahko prinesla divjad (jelenjad), lahko je bilo vsebovano v mešanicah zemlje okrasnih rastlin, manj verjetno tudi v krmi za konje v času prve svetovne vojne ali v materialu za vzdrževanje cest. Drugod v Sloveniji podobnega subspontanega pojavljanja te vrste do zdaj niso opisali, v svetovnem merilu pa je zanjo znano invazivno širjenje zunaj naravnega areala. Ključne besede: Geranium lucidum, nitrofilne ruderalne združbe, Trenta, Julijske Alpe, Triglavski narodni park, Slovenija New localities of Geranium lucidum in Slovenia are de- scribed. They are located in the Trnovski Gozd region and surprisingly in a rather dislocated locality in the Trenta Val- ley between villages Soča and Trenta (the Julian Alps). In the Trnovski Gozd Plateau the species grows in stony altimontane beech forests, classified into the associaton Isopyro-Fagetum, partly also in scree communities. In the Trenta Valley we found it on partly ruderal grassland and on a stone and rock heap, both close to a human dwelling and a regional road. We assume these localities to be secundary or subs- pontaneous. Different potential ways (means) of introduction of the plant are discussed. The most probable agent seems to be large mammal game (particularly red-dear, Cervus elaphus) and as less probable option we presume by seed infected soil of purchased horticultural plants. It appears quite improbable that the seeds have been introduced by materials used in maintaining works of the road or during the First World War in large amounts of hay needed to feed numerous army horses and mules present on nearby front lines. Similar subspontaneous occurrences of this species in Slovenia are so far unknown, although in global scale the species is known as invasive and spreading. Key words: Geranium lucidum, nitrophilous ruderal communities, Trenta, Julian Alps, Triglav National Park, Slovenia
Conceptualising primary labour relationship quality
Authors: Ehlers Lukas I. 
Published: May 2017

Background: A typology of desirable social conditions in supervisory relationships suggested that such conditions may also be desirable in other forms of labour relationships. A literature review confirmed that trust, compliance, fairness and good faith can be confidently regarded as universally desirable social conditions in all forms of individual or collective labour relationships between employers and employees.Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine if primary labour relationship quality (PLQ) can be confidently conceptualised as a social construct that strongly relates to the perceived levels of compliance, fairness and good faith in supervisory or primary labour relationships.Setting: A combination of random and convenience sampling approaches was implemented to collect PLQ related data from 454 voluntary respondents, who were subordinate employees in the Tshwane region.Methods: A quantitative research methodology was adopted. This included conceptual definition of the PLQ construct, objective measurement of PLQ levels of voluntary respondents in an adequately sized sample, factor analysis and testing for relationships and differences in means between variables.Results: Data analysis results confirmed that it can be confidently concluded that the conceptual definition of PLQ was valid, and that positive PLQ perceptions of subordinate employees were significantly related to at least two other forms of desirable organisational outcomes.Conclusion: PLQ perceptions can be confidently defined as a distinct subjective quality estimate that is assimilated from unique expectations and perceptions of the levels of compliance, fairness, good faith and trust that a supervisor displays in a labour relationship with an immediate subordinate.
Geometric Classification of Graph C*-algebras over Finite Graphs
Authors: Eilers Søren , Restorff Gunnar , Ruiz Efren , Sørensen Adam P.W. 
Published: May 2017

AbstractWe address the classification problem for graph C*-algebras of finite graphs (finitely many edges and vertices), containing the class of Cuntz-Krieger algebras as a prominent special case. Contrasting earlier work, we do not assume that the graphs satisfy the standard condition (K), so that the graph C*-algebras may come with uncountably many ideals.We find that in this generality, stable isomorphism of graph C*-algebras does not coincide with the geometric notion of Cuntz move equivalence. However, adding a modest condition on the graphs, the two notions are proved to be mutually equivalent and equivalent to the C*-algebras having isomorphicK-theories. This proves in turn that under this condition, the graph C*-algebras are in fact classifiable byK-theory, providing, in particular, complete classification when the C* - algebras in question are either of real rank zero or type I/postliminal. The key ingredient in obtaining these results is a characterization of Cuntz move equivalence using the adjacency matrices of the graphs.Our results are applied to discuss the classification problem for the quantumlens spaces defined by Hong and Szymański, and to complete the classification of graph C*-algebras associated with all simple graphs with four vertices or less.
Comparison of Complications in Removable Mandibular Acrylic Splint and Cantilever Herbst for Management of Class II Malocclusion: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Kanuru RK , Bhasin Vinny , Dodda KK , Singh Era , Grover Shekhar 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACTIntroductionNumerous appliances are present for the management of class II malocclusion. We have conducted a study to compare the clinical complications during treatment with either a removable mandibular acrylic splint (RMS) or with a cantilever Herbst (HC) appliance for the management of class II malocclusion.Materials and methodsThis study consisted of records of 114 patients (61 males, 53 females), who were divided into two groups. Group I received RMS and group II received HC for the treatment of class II, Division 1 malocclusion. They were further subdivided according to the telescopic system used [Dentaurum type I or propulsor mandibular abzil (PMA)] and fixation mode (splint with crowns or GripTite bands). Patients’ clinical records were assessed to identify clinical complications.ResultsThe results of the study showed that the incidence of complications during treatment in both groups was statistically nonsignificant. The complications with either crown or band were also statistically nonsignificant. The Dentaurum group showed more susceptibility to complications than the PMA group.ConclusionThe PMA telescopic system is more efficient as compared with Dentaurum. Complication resulting from Herbst appliance is independent type of appliance used and mode of fixation.Clinical significanceHerbst appliance is the treatment of choice for class II malocclusion.How to cite this articleKanuru RK, Bhasin V, Khatri A, Dodda KK, Singh E, Grover S.

Use of Collagen Matrix for Augmentation of the Peri-implant Soft Tissue at the Time of Immediate Implant Placement
Authors: Zafiropoulos Gregor-Georg , John Gordon 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACTAimThe aim of this study was to determine the treatment outcome of the use of a porcine monolayer collagen matrix (mCM) to augment peri-implant soft tissue in conjunction with immediate implant placement as an alternative to patient's own connective tissue.Materials and methodsA total of 27 implants were placed immediately in 27 patients (14 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 52.2 years) with simultaneous augmentation of the soft tissue by the use of a mCM. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group I: An envelope flap was created and mCM was left coronally uncovered, and group II: A coronally repositioned flap was created and the mCM was covered by the mucosa. Soft-tissue thickness (STTh) was measured at the time of surgery (T0) and 6 months postoperatively (T1) using a customized stent. Cone beam computed tomographies (CBCTs) were taken from 12 representative cases at T1. A stringent plaque control regimen was enforced in all the patients during the 6-month observation period.ResultsMean STTh change was similar in both groups (0.7 ± 0.2 and 0.7 ± 0.1 mm in groups I and II respectively). The comparison of STTh between T0 and T1 showed a statistically significant increase of soft tissue in both groups I and II as well as in the total examined population (p<0.001). The STTh change as well as matrix thickness loss were comparable in both groups (p>0.05). The evaluation of the CBCTs did not show any signs of resorption of the buccal bone plate.ConclusionWithin the limitations of this study, it could be concluded that the collagen matrix used in conjunction with immediate implant placement leads to an increased thickness of peri-implant soft tissue independent of the flap creation technique and could be an alternative to connective tissue graft.Clinical significanceThe collagen matrix used seems to be a good alternative to patient's own connective tissue and could be used for the soft tissue augmentation around dental implants.How to cite this articleZafiropoulos GG, John G.

Herpes Simplex 1 and Periopathogen Role in Peri-implantitis
Authors: Parthiban S , Ahmed Nizar , Ramakrishnan T , Balakumar V , Raja Manoj , Shekhar Himanshu 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT

Introduction
The objectives of this study were to compare the qualitative and quantitative profiles of herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) in implant surfaces between participants with periimplantitis (PI) and Healthy peri-implant tissues and to quantitatively assess the relation between HSV-1 and periopathogens inside the microbiological profile associated with PI.

Materials and methods
A total of 40 patients with PI and 40 with healthy peri-implant tissues (HI) were recruited. Plaque samples from peri-implant sulcus and internal implant connections were analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to detect and quantify HSV-1 and periodontopathogens. Frequencies of detection and levels of microorganisms were compared between PI and HI; the frequencies and levels of periodontopathogens were compared between HSV-1+ and HSV-1- PI to assess qualitative relations between HSV-1 and bacteria. Correlation between HSV-1 and periodontopathogens levels was assessed in PI and HI.

Results
A total of 77 dental implants affected by PI, and 113 HIs were included. The HSV-1 prevalence was slightly higher in PI compared with controls (33.3 vs 23.8%; p > 0.05); HSV-1 was detected in external samples more frequently compared with internal samples. The HSV-1-positive patients revealed higher median loads of Prevotella intermedia (Pi) and Campylobacter rectus (Cr) compared with HSV-1-negative patients. In the PI group, a significant positive correlation was evidenced between HSV-1 and Tannerella forsythia, Parvimonas micra (Pm), Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Cr levels, while in the HI, positive correlation between HSV-1 and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Pi, and Pm was established.

Conclusion
The HSV-1 prevalence cannot be used to identify PI. The HSV-1 was found in similar levels of PI and HI patients after an average of 6 years of loaded implants. The HSV-1 prevalence cannot be used to identify implants with or without the presence of PI.

Clinical significance
Although HSV-1 is detected in PI site, HSV-1 may represent an unspecific indicator for the host response to the bacterial challenge observed in PI.

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Replacement of missing teeth by dental implants is one of the most common methods employed these days. Because of significant advancement in the design of implants and modifications in the procedure of dental implant surgery, the survival rate of the dental implants has reached up to approximately 95%. Osseointegration is one of the important factors affecting the survival of dental implants. Apart from these, the body's physiologic alterations can also predispose the dental implants for failure. Diabetes is one such metabolic disease characterized by abnormal or delayed wound healing. Hence, we assessed the clinicomicrobial and salivary profile of diabetic patients undergoing rehabilitation by dental implants.

Materials and methods
This study included diabetic patients who underwent dental implant surgeries for prosthetic rehabilitation. Follow-up records of the patients’ up to 1 year were maintained. Various clinicoradiographic and periodontal parameters were measured at various time intervals during follow-up time; 25 mL of salivary and blood sample was taken from all the subjects and was sent to the laboratories for assessment of various salivary biomarkers. All the results were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software.

Results
The mean level of interleukin-â at baseline time was found to be 2.38 and 2.21 in diabetic group and control group respectively. While comparing the levels of osteoprotegerin in both study groups, a significant correlation was obtained. In diabetic and control group, 62 and 61 years was the mean age of the patients respectively. No significant correlation was obtained while comparing the microbial flora of diabetic and control group.

Conclusion
In both diabetic and nondiabetic patients, similar microbial, salivary marker, and clinicoradiological patterns were seen.

Clinical significance
Diabetic patients who maintain their body's metabolic rate show similar success rate of dental implants as seen in nondiabetic patients.

Schockmed Valve: A Novel Surgical Option for Uncontrolled Glaucoma in Eyes with Poor Conjunctiva and Encircling Bands
Authors: Fleischman David , Kim Bryan 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT
Surgical management of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in an eye with scarred conjunctiva, an encircling band, and silicone oil has limited options. By combining the flow restrictor of the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (New World Medical, Rancho Cucamonga, California) and the capsule of the encircling band as a conduit for aqueous flow, immediate pressure reduction could theoretically be achieved in eyes with limited conjunctival mobilization. This is a description of a surgical technique in a case of a patient with multiple ocular surgeries with uncontrolled multimechanism glaucoma despite using all available topical and oral glaucoma medications. A combination of the Ahmed valve with a modification of the Schocket shunt technique was used in this case of an encircling band and poor conjunctiva. At 10-month follow-up, the patient maintains controlled pressures on dorzolamide—timolol drops. The combined Ahmed—Schocket (or Schockmed) technique may be another surgical option for management of uncontrolled IOP in cases of scarred conjunctiva and encircling bands needing immediate pressure reduction.
