REVISIONS IN WAVE FORECASTING: DEEP AND SHALLOW WATER
Authors: Bretschneider C. L. 
Published: June 2017

During the past six years since the latest revisions in wave forecasting (Bretschneider 1951) were made, much information has become available such that another revision is in order. An abundance of published (and unpublished) accounts of wave generation and decay in both deep and shallow water from various sources, as well as new ideas in the art of wave forecasting, are used in this revision. Deep water wave forecasting relationships, relationships for the generation of wind waves in shallow water of constant depth, and techniques for forecasting wind waves over the Continental Shelf are included in this paper. Forecasting hurricane waves is also discussed, from the engineering design point of view. The concept of significant wave is still retained as the most practical method in wave forecasting to date. The significant period has definite significance in that the wave energy is propagated forward at a speed approximately equal to the corresponding group velocity.

The graphical approach (Wilson 1955) for moving fetches and variable wind vectors is discussed, and is the best approach for forecasting waves. Without Wilson's graphical technique it is difficult for any two forecasters supplied with the same meteorological data to obtain the same degree of verification, or determine whether the forecaster or the forecasting relationships are in error. It is quite possible that by use of this technique further revisions in wave forecasting are possible.

The problem of wave variability is discussed, and the distribution functions are given. A short summary of the wave spectra (Bretschneider 1958) used in connection with the revisions is also given.
When the present forecasting relationships are applied to sections of the world, other than that from which the basic data were procured, it is recommended that atmospheric stability factors be taken into account. This essentially involves a slight modification or calibration of the forecasting relationships and techniques, prior to general use in the area of interest.

Published: June 2017

AbstractCovalent organic frameworks (COFs) with hollow structures hold great promise for developing new types of functional materials. Herein, we report a hollow spherical COF with a hierarchical shell, which serves as an effective precursor of B,N‐codoped hierarchical hollow carbon spheres. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of hierarchical porosity, high surface area, and B,N‐codoping, the as‐synthesized carbon spheres show prospective utility as metal‐free catalysts in nitroarene reduction. A mechanistic hypothesis is proposed based on theoretical and experimental studies. Boron atoms situated meta to pyridinic N atoms are identified to be the main catalytic active sites. The anti‐aromaticity originating from the codoping of B and pyridinic N atoms, not charge distribution and deformation energy, is confirmed to play a pivotal role in the catalytic reaction.

AbstractThe mechanical properties of formamidinium lead halide perovskites (FAPbX3, X=Br or I) grown by inverse‐temperature crystallization have been studied by nanoindentation. The measured Young's moduli (9.7–12.3 GPa) and hardnesses (0.36–0.45 GPa) indicate good mechanical flexibility and ductility. The effects of hydrogen bonding were evaluated by performing ab initio molecular dynamics on both formamidinium and methylammonium perovskites and calculating radial distribution functions. The structural and chemical factors influencing these properties are discussed by comparison with corresponding values in the literature for other hybrid perovskites, including double perovskites. Our results reveal that bonding in the inorganic framework and hydrogen bonding play important roles in determining elastic stiffness. The influence of the organic cation becomes more important for structures at the limit of their perovskite stability, indicated by high tolerance factors.
Mixed effects of gating subterranean habitat on bats: A review
Authors: Tobin Abigail , Chambers Carol L. 
Published: June 2017

ABSTRACTCaves and abandoned mines, roosting environments for many bat species including subterranean obligates, are under human pressure (e.g., recreation) and pose threats to humans. Gating entrances of these subterranean features prevents human entry while protecting habitat for bats. However, bat response to these gates is not well understood and no comprehensive synthesis with species‐specific recommendations on protection measures for bat roosts exists. We reviewed literature on effects of gating subterranean habitat on bats and roost microclimate and found 22 studies and reports from North America, Australia, Europe, and Asia. Ten studies examined effects of gating on bat use, 9 described behavioral responses to gates, and 5 presented effects of gates on roost microclimate. Older gate designs (1950–1970), such as cement walls or iron doors, negatively affected bat use and roost microclimate, but responses to modern (1970s to present), bat‐compatible gate designs varied. Short‐term responses of bats to bat‐compatible gates were negative and included increases in energetically expensive flight behaviors. Although long‐term responses included a mix of population and species trends, we attribute these mixed responses in part to differences in flight agility among species. Bats with moderate to high agility (low wing loading, broad call bandwidths) adjust to gates, but species with low agility (high wing loading and narrow call bandwidths) may abandon sites after gating. Other factors including bat density in roosts and size of the cave or mine entrance also affect acceptance of gates and should be considered in gate design. Current gate designs are adequate for most species. Based on available literature, we recommend use of bat‐compatible gates with horizontal bar spacing of 14.6 cm, bar types that offer high structural rigidity in areas where vandalism is likely, and periodic monitoring of gates to ensure they remain in good condition. © 2017 The Wildlife Society.
Impairment Experiences, Identity and Attitudes Towards Genetic Screening: the Views of People with Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Published: June 2017

AbstractDevelopments in genetics are rapidly changing the capacity and scope of screening practices. However, people with genetic conditions have been under‐represented in the literature exploring their implications. This mixed methods study explores the attitudes of people with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) towards three different population‐level genetic screening programmes for SMA: pre‐conception, prenatal and newborn screening. Drawing on qualitative interviews (n = 15) and a survey (n = 82), this study demonstrates that more severely affected individuals with early‐onset symptoms (Type II SMA), are less likely to support screening and more likely to view SMA positively than those with milder, later onset and/or fluctuating symptoms (Types III/ IV SMA). Indeed, this clinically milder group were more likely to support all forms of screening and view SMA negatively. This paper highlights that screening is a complex issue for people with genetic conditions, and the nature of impairment experiences plays a critical role in shaping attitudes.
Implementation of EPA Guidance - One Way for All Countries?
Authors: Carrasco M.M. 
Published: June 2017

The European Psychiatric Association (EPA) guidance project launched in 2008 has the aim of providing European psychiatry with guidance in topics, which are relevant for European mental health care. Guidance from a European perspective can be favorable against the background of a growing sense of Europe and the desirable associated harmonization on all levels of health care policy.More precisely, the mission of the EPA guidance is defined as ‘to improve quality of mental health care in Europe by disseminating written information based on best evidence and psychiatric practice, to facilitate countries learning from each other’.In consonance with this need of a wider multinational perspective of European psychiatry, EPA adopted in 2012 through a deep change of its statutes a new membership structure that allows National Psychiatric Societies/Associations (NPAs) in Europe the possibility to become full members of EPA. Up to 40 NPAs corresponding to 37 countries and representing over 80.000 psychiatrists have responded positively to the offer and are now part of the Council of National Psychiatric Societies, the body within EPA that integrates them.The Council of NPAs has become, in this way, a forum for its members to meet, discuss and work on issues concerning European psychiatry. One of the major issues is about the implementation of European guidance in mental health policy, teaching and learning psychiatry, best clinical practice in different areas, and quality indicators. This presentation provides further details on how participating societies could put these policies and recommendations into practice.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

Published: June 2017

IntroductionThe existence of a frontotemporal dementia phenocopy (phFTD) syndrome remains controversial. Opinions differ on whether the phenocopy presentation represents the neuropsychological manifestation of a mid-life decompensation in vulnerable pre-morbid personalities or an indolent prodrome of behavioral-variant FTD (bvFTD). Literature on this topic is sparse and clinicians and patients have little guidance around prognosis and management.ObjectivesTo describe the demographic, neuropsychological and biomarker profiles of a case series of phFTD patients, attending the memory clinic and review relevant literature.MethodsRetrospective review of all cases diagnosed with phFTD.ResultsEleven cases were identified (male = 9, female = 2). Mean age 55.8 years. Subjective complaints comprised memory and language difficulties. Collateral reports described apathy, aggression, impulsivity, disinhibition, hyperorality. Function was relatively preserved though motivation or supervision for higher-level tasks was sometimes required. All had non-neurodegenerative MRI and PET scans. Neuropsychological test (NPT) findings predominantly showed executive dysfunction and fluency impairment. A total of 3/11 had non-amnestic memory impairment. Follow-up imaging and NPT were invariably unchanged; 1/11 had a pre-morbid psychiatric diagnosis; 5/11 had unusual personality traits pre-morbidly. Major psychosocial stressors were documented in 7/11. Management consisted of psychosocial interventions to support function and interpersonal relationships.ConclusionsThe literature describes the phFTD syndrome as predominantly affecting males though we include 2 females who meet the criteria. In keeping with our findings, personality traits and psychosocial stressors may be more common in phFTD than bvFTD. More severe symptoms, memory impairment at presentation and C9ORF72 gene mutation may predict eventual progression. Those who do not progress have minimal long-term functional impairment though behavioral symptoms persist.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Authors: Allahverdipour H. 
Published: June 2017

IntroductionSocial skills enables one to interact effectively and avoid the adverse responses. Factors such as non-use of the elderly's skills, impaired social skills, indifference and neglect of the elderly impair social dignity and conversely factors such as living independently and respectful relationship will improve social dignity. The aim of current study was to assess the association between social skills and perceived social dignity and mental health of elderly people as well.MethodsIn this cross sectional design, of the 300 elderly participants were recruited based on the randomized sampling method and Reggio social skills questionnaire, Jacelon perceived social dignity and general health questionnaire (GHQ12) were applied to gauge data by using a written questionnaire in the self report manner. For all tests a significance level of 0.05 was considered and statistics software SPSS version 21 and AMOS version 13 were used.ResultThe results showed a significant relationship between social skills and mental health base on gender and age and also; there was a significant relationship between social skills and social dignity (P < 0/001). Social skills predicted 26% of social dignity among older people and also social skills predicted 16% of mental health dignity. Therefore, social skills, was a proper predictor for mental health and perceived social dignity.ConclusionDue to the positive impact of social skills on the perceived social dignity and mental health of older population, it is needed to improve social skills of middle aged population which consequently affect on psychological well-being of aged people.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

Published: June 2017

IntroductionAppearing in the early stages of the disease pathological changes in different parts of the brain in Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects cause disruption of neural circuits between the cortex and the basal ganglia. It may affect the ocular movement disturbances.ObjectivesIn previous studies we have shown that AD patients present abnormalities of saccadic eye movements. In this study, we conducted for the first time the advanced quantitative analysis profile of saccades on a large study group.AimsThe aim of this study is to find the features and the values of parameters in patients with AD differ from healthy individuals using quantitative measurement methods that could help in the future to differentiate people with an uncertain diagnosis.MethodsSeventy-one patients with mild and moderate AD (age 79.1 ± 5.21) were examined. Forty-four healthy ones (C) without symptoms of dementia, matched for sex, age and education level (age 78.3 ± 4.7) were examined. In this study we made use of the Saccadometer Advanced (ACI, Cambridge, UK), allowing the measurement of eye position with the time resolution of 1 ms (1000 Hz).ResultsStatistically significant differences between AD and C groups were found (P < 0.05). The analysis of saccadic profile allows to differentiate Alzheimer's disease. The rising slope duration and the rising slope percent is lower in AD group, but the falling slope duration and the falling slope percent is larger in AD group.ConclusionsAD patients have much smaller slope in the rising phase of the saccade. The results show that the use of saccadometry may improve diagnosis of the AD.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

AimsTo describe the use and abuse of alcohol, cigarettes and street drugs in nursing degree students of Alfredo Pinto nursing school at federal university of state of Rio de Janeiro.Methodscross-sectional and descriptive data of first and final year students enrolled in a nursing degree course. One hundred and seventeen students took part in a questionnaire, providing sociodemographic information and completed the alcohol smoking and substance screening test (ASSIST). A double variant and chi-squared analysis and Fisher's exact test was performed.ResultsOne hundred and seventeen students participated. Of the first year students 82% (n = 73) were woman; 61% (n = 54); 18–20 years old; 43% (n = 38) were white and 40% (n = 36) had parents that identified as Roman-Catholic. The students in their last year: 89% (n = 25) woman; 54% (n = 15) aged between 21–23 years old; 70% (n = 20) are white and 71% (n = 20) have roman-catholic parents. That is a high prevalence of alcohol use: 84% (n = 75) in the first year and 78% in the last year had used alcohol. 24% (n = 21) had smoked during their first year and 18% (n = 5) during the last year. It was found that the consumption of street drugs during early years of university is correlated to the age (P = 0.033) and the religious orientation by parents (P = 0.047).ConclusionUniversities responsibility towards their students, and students involvement with their learning process are factors that lead to changes in attitudes, beliefs and knowledge that are so important in maintaining healthy habits and lifestyle in line with what is taught in a nursing degree.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

BackgroundLoss of a loved one is a distressing event that may result in grief characterized by emotional distress, longing of the dead, and dysfunctionality. Persistent complex bereavement disorder (PCBD) is differentiated by extended and damaging bereavement [1], which is being treated by some with EMDR [2]. In this study, the effects of an EMDR session on a patient with PCBD will be analyzed.CaseG.Ö. (45) is a married housewife who had been working, mother of a kid and a baby. She has lived with her family and her mother in a metropolitan city until her mother died a year ago, unexpectedly. Then, she quitted her job and they moved in a small city upon her husband's wish. The inpatient had complaints such as active suicidal thoughts, marital dissatisfaction and an ongoing deep sadness. EMDR therapy is applied on her grief and dysfunctional beliefs.ConclusionAfter one session of EMDR, her mood improved, her ruminations declined, she sought job, and became hopeful for the future. In our case, even one session of EMDR let remarkable improvements on PCBD. Indeed, as for other trauma-related issues, EMDR therapy can be utilized on PCBD.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
Owning the brand of psychiatry
Authors: Peters A. 
Published: June 2017

In Australia and New Zealand, conversations around mental health are playing out in the public space with increasing frequency. Mental health promotion campaigns and organizations are embraced by mainstream and other forms of media, and supported by government. Whilst public knowledge of mental illness is increasing, the profile of psychiatrists as leaders and medical experts in mental illness is a more difficult brand to sell. With a somewhat tarnished history behind us, the modern evidence-based practice of psychiatry is not always at the forefront of public impression. Furthermore, in Australia, more than half of the population (56%) is unaware that psychiatrists have undertaken medical training as a doctor. This presentation will outline Royal Australian and New Zealand college of psychiatrists (RANZCP) action to improve community information about psychiatry, psychiatrists and treatment experiences.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Published: June 2017

IntroductionDrug-induced liver injury is a major problem of pharmacotherapy and is also frequent with anti-depressive psychopharmacotherapy.Objectives/aimsHowever, there are only few studies using a consistent methodologic approach to study hepatotoxicity of a larger group of antidepressants.MethodsWe performed a quantitative signal detection analysis using pharmacovigilance data from the Uppsala monitoring center from the WHO that records adverse drug reaction data from worldwide sources; we calculated reporting odds ratios (ROR) as measures for disproportionality within a case-/non-case approach for several frequently prescribed anti-depressants.ResultsBoth positive controls, amineptine (ROR 38.4 [95% CI: 33.8–43.6]) and nefazodone (ROR 3.2 [95% CI: 3.0–3.5]), were statistically associated with hepatotoxicity. Following amineptine, agomelatine (ROR 6.4 [95% CI: 5.7–7.2]) was associated with the second highest ROR, followed by tianeptine (ROR 4.4 [95% CI: 3.6–5.3]), mianserin (ROR 3.6 [95% CI: 3.3–3.4]) and nefazodone.ConclusionsIn line with previous studies our results support the hypothesis that agomelatine and several other anti-depressants may be associated with relevant hepatotoxicity. However, the used data and applied method do not allow a quantitative evaluation of hepatotoxicity or assessment of substance–specific differences regarding the extent of hepatotoxicity.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
