Motion in serializing languages revisited: The case of Avatime
Authors: van Putten Saskia 
Published: August 2017

AbstractIn the typology of motion lexicalization, two types of languages have traditionally been distinguished: satellite-framed and verb-framed. Serializing languages are difficult to fit into this typology and have been claimed to belong to a third type: equipollently framed. In this paper I use grammatical criteria to show that Avatime, a serializing language, should indeed be classified as equipollently framed. I also study motion descriptions in narratives. Avatime is similar to other serializing languages with respect to path elaboration, but unlike other serializing languages, it has low manner saliency. Equipollently framed languages thus do not behave as a single type.
What could a euro-area finance minister do?
Authors: Wolff Guntram B. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract:
With the election of Emmanuel Macron as president of France, the idea of a euro-area treasury and finance minister is back in the limelight. The election programme of the new French president calls for „a budget for the euro area voted by a euro-area parliament and executed by a euro-area finance minister“ with the aim to „be able to invest much more than currently“.
This call is broad and needs to be filled with content. And unless there is a clearer articulation of what key issues such a project is trying to resolve, there will be little support for moves in that direction – as recent sceptical voices from Germany have already foreshadowed.
I see five major issues that deserve to be discussed. None can be answered in isolation, as they are economically, politically and legally connected.
Experimental Study on Use of Internal and External Drains in Triaxial Tests
Authors: Suzuki Yusuke , Dyvik Rune , Schmertmann John H. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractTriaxial tests require a relatively long period of time for consolidation, especially on fine-grained soil. To accelerate the consolidation process, external filter paper strips have often been used in practice. This paper examines and evaluates use of an internal yarn drain technique, compared to the traditional filter paper technique in triaxial testing. The experiments employed seven drainage configurations, either with internal drains, with external filter strips, or with no drains or filter strips at all. The effectiveness was first evaluated in both isotropic and anisotropic consolidation stages of the triaxial tests. Undrained compression loading was then performed to examine the effects of the internal and external drains on shear behavior. The internal drains showed excellent potential for shortening the consolidation time, as did external filter paper. However, the relative effectiveness depends on the type of the soil among the three clays tested in this paper. The effect of the potential disturbance from the insertion of the internal drains may be less than the disturbance due to different sampling methods.

Genetically encoded voltage indicators create an opportunity to monitor electrical activity in defined sets of neurons as they participate in the complex patterns of coordinated electrical activity that underlie nervous system function. Taking full advantage of genetically encoded voltage indicators requires a generalized strategy for targeting the probe to genetically defined populations of cells. To this end, we have generated a mouse line with an optimized hybrid voltage sensor (hVOS) probe within a locus designed for efficient Cre recombinase-dependent expression. Crossing this mouse with Cre drivers generated double transgenics expressing hVOS probe in GABAergic, parvalbumin, and calretinin interneurons, as well as hilar mossy cells, new adult-born neurons, and recently active neurons. In each case, imaging in brain slices from male or female animals revealed electrically evoked optical signals from multiple individual neurons in single trials. These imaging experiments revealed action potentials, dynamic aspects of dendritic integration, and trial-to-trial fluctuations in response latency. The rapid time response of hVOS imaging revealed action potentials with high temporal fidelity, and enabled accurate measurements of spike half-widths characteristic of each cell type. Simultaneous recording of rapid voltage changes in multiple neurons with a common genetic signature offers a powerful approach to the study of neural circuit function and the investigation of how neural networks encode, process, and store information.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTGenetically encoded voltage indicators hold great promise in the study of neural circuitry, but realizing their full potential depends on targeting the sensor to distinct cell types. Here we present a new mouse line that expresses a hybrid optical voltage sensor under the control of Cre recombinase. Crossing this line with Cre drivers generated double-transgenic mice, which express this sensor in targeted cell types. In brain slices from these animals, single-trial hybrid optical voltage sensor recordings revealed voltage changes with submillisecond resolution in multiple neurons simultaneously. This imaging tool will allow for the study of the emergent properties of neural circuits and permit experimental tests of the roles of specific types of neurons in complex circuit activity.

Authors: Runz-Jørgensen Sidsel M. , Schiøtz Michaela L. , Christensen Ulla 
Published: August 2017

Background The prevalence of multimorbidity is increasing, creating challenges for patients, healthcare professionals, and healthcare systems. Given that chronic disease management increasingly involves eHealth, it is useful to assess its perceived value among people with multimorbidity. Objective To explore challenges related to multimorbidity and patients’ perspectives on eHealth. Design Ten semi-structured interviews with adults, living with multimorbidity in Copenhagen, Denmark. Interviews focused on patient-experienced challenges, from challenges related to self-management to challenges experienced in the healthcare sector, as well as perceptions of eHealth. During interviews, participants were presented with pictures of different eHealth technologies. Data analysis followed the systematic text condensation approach. Results Participants experienced challenges in their daily lives, e.g. when practicing self-management activities, when navigating the healthcare sector, and when interacting with healthcare professionals. Patient-perceived value of eHealth varied, depending on their burden of illness and treatment: those with a greater burden had more positive perceptions of eHealth, and expressed more intention to use it. Participants with less complex disease patterns and less burdensome treatment regimens were more likely to perceive eHealth as something worthless and undesirable. Participants stressed that eHealth should only be introduced as an optional supplement. Conclusions eHealth can potentially address some patient-experienced challenges related to multimorbidity by promoting self-management, patient-centeredness, and access. However, patients’ needs and preferences vary and eHealth cannot substitute the personal interaction between patient and healthcare professionals. Our findings point to the importance of patient assessment and stratification to ensure appropriate use of eHealth.

Published: August 2017

AbstractLarge-scale forward genetic screens have been instrumental for identifying genes that regulate development, homeostasis, and regeneration, as well as the mechanisms of disease. The zebrafish, Danio rerio, is an established genetic and developmental model used in genetic screens to uncover genes necessary for early development. However, the regulation of postembryonic development has received less attention as these screens are more labor intensive and require extensive resources. The lack of systematic interrogation of late development leaves large aspects of the genetic regulation of adult form and physiology unresolved. To understand the genetic control of postembryonic development, we performed a dominant screen for phenotypes affecting the adult zebrafish. In our screen, we identified 72 adult viable mutants showing changes in the shape of the skeleton as well as defects in pigmentation. For efficient mapping of these mutants and mutation identification, we devised a new mapping strategy based on identification of mutant-specific haplotypes. Using this method in combination with a candidate gene approach, we were able to identify linked mutations for 22 out of 25 mutants analyzed. Broadly, our mutational analysis suggests that there are key genes and pathways associated with late development. Many of these pathways are shared with humans and are affected in various disease conditions, suggesting constraint in the genetic pathways that can lead to change in adult form. Taken together, these results show that dominant screens are a feasible and productive means to identify mutations that can further our understanding of gene function during postembryonic development and in disease.
Hemodynamic Patterns Determined By Non-Invasive Cw-Doppler Ultrasound Cardiac Monitoring (USCOM) in Preterm Neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome During Non-Invasive Respiratory Support

Aim: To determine the hemodynamic patterns in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) using the USCOM-1A technology.
Materials and Methods: The USCOM device is a bedside method of evaluating cardiac output (CO) based on continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound. Hemodynamic parameters were measured daily for 7 days in 32 preterm neonates 32 ± 1 weeks of gestation (1688 ± 111 g) with RDS requiring noninvasive respiratory support (NCPAP, NIPPV, HFNC) and no catecholamine support in comparison with 28 healthy term neonates (3100 ± 690 g).
Results: At day 1, preterm neonates had lower SVI (18 ± 5 vs 28 ± 8 ml m-2, p = 0.043) and higher SVRI (1585 ± 245 vs 1035 ± 358 dyn s cm-5 m2, p = 0.013) with a tendency for lower cardiac index (2.6 ± 0.8 vs 4.0 ± 1.3 l min-1 m-2, p = 0.089). Together with no difference in SMII, it indicates the presence of diastolic dysfunction with low preload. It is noted that all parameters had not changed by day 7 in preterm neonates, whereas term neonates demonstrated significantly increased SMII reflecting postnatal cardiovascular adaptation. Compared with preterm neonates with RDS requiring NCPAP/NIPPV, preterm neonates requiring HFNC had higher levels of FTc (330 ± 59 vs 388 ± 41 ms, р = 0.045), SVI (13 ± 3 vs 18 ± 4, ml/m2, р = 0.007), SMII (0.41 ± 0.09 vs 0.57 ± 0.21, р = 0.02), and CI (2.2 ± 0.6 vs 4.5 ± 0.9 l/min/m2, р = 0.006).
Conclusions:Noninvasive respiratory support in preterm neonates with RDS may lead to diastolic dysfunction that is less prominent in neonates with HFNC.

Stapling devices: comparative study of stapled versus conventional hand sewn anastomosis in elective gastrointestinal surgery
Authors: Nichkaode Prabhat B. , Parakh Aditya 
Published: August 2017

Background: Gastro intestinal anastomosis is a commonly performed surgical procedure to establish communication between two formerly distant portions of the bowel since the era of Sushruta. Various methods of intestinal anastomosis were followed. Stapling devices are now the newer alternative to conventional hand sewn method of anastomosis. It is stated that a key to a successful anastomosis is accurate anastomosis of two viable ends of the bowel without tension, with good vascularity. Because of the use of staplers technical failures is a rarity, anastomosis is more consistent, and can be used at difficult locations.Methods: A total of 68 cases which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this hospital based prospective comparative study. The study population included patients who underwent elective gastrointestinal surgeries. The subjects were allocated into two groups according to the type of anastomosis, hand sewn and stapler. Both hand sewn and stapled anastomosis were further divided into three sub-groups according to the anatomical site of anastomosis viz esophageal, gastrojejunal and colorectal. Outcome factors: anastomotic integrity, duration of operation, return of bowel activity, hospital stay.Results: A total of 68 patients with malignant or benign condition of bowel and oesophagus, requiring anastomosis were allocated in study group of GI staplers and control group of conventional hand sewn technique. Out of 68 cases there were 13 Esophageal anastomosis, 21 gastrojejunostomy and 34 colorectal anastomosis.Conclusions: In present study, we found that stapling technique can significantly reduce the time for anastomotic procedure, less tissue trauma due to less tissue handling, there is early restoration of gastrointestinal function, early resumption of oral feeding and reduced duration of hospital stay which helps ultimately in early return to routine work, importantly staplers can be used at places were hand sewn anastomosis is technically difficult. Technique related complications do not show significant differences which suggest that one can use staplers with same safety and accuracy as sutures.
Laproscopic cholecystectomy an analysis of 787 cases with reference to predictors on level of difficulty and the influence of early conversion to reduce IBDI and other complications
Authors: Kalyanasundar Suresh , Bhatnagar Ashok 
Published: August 2017

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common major elective surgical procedure all over the globe. The complications associated with the procedure also become important for surgeons to manage well, strive to prevent them from occurring.Methods: The study was prospective and involved 787 cases in a period of 60 months starting from January 2013 to January 2017 which were diagnosed to have cholelithiasis sonologically, features to suggest acute cholecystitis and a normal CBD, with normal liver function tests, clinical examination did not reveal a palpable lump in the right hypochondrium and the history of acute pain was less than 72 hours.Results: The total number of cases 787 and 127 (16%) there were complications of which 0.2 % was biliary injuries and rest were nonbiliary. IBDI occurred in 02cases in this series which is 0.25% and 125 cases there was Nonbiliary complications. The incidence of iatrogenic bile duct injury (IBDI) in LC is 0.4%- 1.3 % compared to 0.2%- 0.3% for OC. 108 cases were converted to an open procedure (13%) and the average rate globally 5 % to 10%.Conclusions: LC should be planned in all cases of cholelithiasis, it is helpful to preoperatively and operatively grade the cases for the operative ease and cases which fall in the category of extreme it is better to resort to conversion early or even a planned open surgery. The low complication rate especially biliary is because of a careful planning preoperatively and operatively as per prediction scales which we used, a low tolerance to conversion and because of adopting the practice of subtotal cholecystectomy.

Published: August 2017

Background: Fissure in ano is one of the commonest benign and painful proctologic condition encountered in surgical practice treated by conservative line of management. Lateral sphincterotomy is the ideal treatment option for chronic refractory fissure in ano. A newer modality segmental internal sphincterotomy shows good promise in terms of early resolution of symptoms, fissure healing and prevention of anal incontinence involving division of the internal sphincter at two different levels.Methods: In comparative nonrandomized trial patients with chronic fissure in ano satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were allocated to lateral sphincterotomy and segmental internal sphincterotomy groups. The outcome factors were perianal sepsis, pain relief using VAS as assessed on passing the first motion, duration of healing of fissure, assessment of incontinence using Wexner’s continence score on 30th post-operative day.Results: A total of 54 cases were enrolled, of them 31 patients underwent lateral internal sphincterotomy and 23 underwent segmental internal sphincterotomy with the mean age of patient was 34.76 years and a male to female ratio of 1.07:1. The pain score (VAS) on passing stool for the first time postoperatively was 4.5 with lateral sphincterotomy and 3.91 with segmental internal sphincterotomy which was statistically significant (P value < 0.010). The duration of postoperative healing was observed to be 27.94 days and 28.09 days in lateral sphincterotomy and segmental internal sphincterotomy group respectively. The post-operative anal incontinence was evaluated by using Wexner’s continence grading after one month which was not statistically significant between two groups.Conclusions: Segmental internal sphincterotomy could be a good surgical modality with its healing effect on fissure in ano and post-operative complications which are similar to standard lateral internal sphincterotomy.

Com a expansão da agricultura as florestas têm sido fragmentadas, modificando a dinâmica dos seus processos refletindo na fertilidade do solo. Esse estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de borda na fertilidade do solo em um fragmento florestal na região Sudoeste da Bahia. Para isso a área foi dividida em faixas verticais iniciando 50 metros após a borda, adentrando até 300 metros no fragmento. Em cada uma das faixas foram tomadas 3 amostras compostas nas profundidades de 0-5, 5-10, 10-20 cm. Analisando os atributos químico e calculando a soma de bases, CTC a pH7 e a saturação por bases (V%). Também foram quantificados os teores de carbono orgânico (COT) nas áreas de estudo. Foram observadas diferenças na fertilidade do solo da borda para o interior do fragmento. Verificou-se que os atributos Ca2+, H++Al3+, S, T, COT foram os mais sensíveis em relação ao efeito de borda. A área semi-interna (SI) distando 150-200 metros, de maneira geral foi a que apresentou os maiores valores de fertilidade do solo, possivelmente devido aos maiores teores de matéria orgânica acumulada.

This study aimed to evaluate the edge effect on soil fertility in a forest fragment in the Southwest Bahia region. For this area was divided into vertical strips starting 50 meters after the border, entering up to 300 meters in the fragment. In each of the tracks were taken 3 composite samples at depths of 0-5, 5-10, 10-20 cm. Analyzing the chemical attributes and calculating the sum of bases, CTC at pH 7 and base saturation (V%). Also the organic carbon levels were quantified (COT) in the study areas. Differences were observed at the edge of soil fertility into the fragment. It was found that attributes, Ca2+, H++Al3+, S, T, COT were the most sensitive in relation to the edge effect. The semi-internal area (SI) 150-200 meters distant in general was the one with the highest soil fertility values, possibly due to higher levels of accumulated organic matter.
