Ecological data of Lepidosaphes gloverii (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in Greece
Authors: Stathas G.J. 
Published: November 2017

In June 2001 the scale Lepidosaphes gloverii (Packard) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was found on orange trees in Peloponnesus, Gastouni area, (Southwestern Greece). From the day it was first recorded until August 2003 observations on orange trees were held both in field and laboratory, concerning the biology and ecology of this scale. L. gloνerii infests mainly the upper surface of the leaves and the fruits and less the shoots of the tree. During the period April to August 2002 the scale completed 3 overlapping generations. Female fecundity ranged between 32 and 57 eggs. Chilocorus bipustulatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Rhyzobius lophanthae Blaisdell (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) predators were found to feed upon this scale. In Ju1y 2002 a mass release of those predators took place on infested orange trees. To assess the action of these predators, observations were conducted in both field (by shaking the branches of the trees and counting the number of the predators) and laboratory (by counting the predated scales found on leaves). The release of predators contributed to the decrease of infestation density of trees. C. bipustulatus developed significantly higher populations than R. lophanthae.

Larνae of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were reared in laboratory conditions (26°C, 16:8 L:D) and measurements of larval head capsule width, and body weight, were used in order to determine the boundaries of larval instars. Larvae of Η. armigera completed development in 5 to 7 instars. Head capsule width could predict the larval instar only for Ll. The upper boundary of head width for L1 was 0.4mm. Body weight could predict both L1 and L2 larval instars. Boundaries between L1-L2 instars were found to be 1 mg and for L2-L3 5,5 mg. Correlation and regression analysis suggest that a combination of head capsule width and body weight can predict both larval instars and chronological age under constant conditions in the laboratory.
First phenological data of the rose pest Homalorhynchites hungaricus (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Rhynchitidae) in Greece
Authors: Kontodimas D.C. , Kavallieratos N.G 
Published: November 2017

The rose curculio Homalorhynchites hungaricus (Herbst, 1783) (=Rhynchites hungaricus, =Mechoris ungaricus, =Mecorhis ungaricus) (Coleoptera: Rhynchitidae) has been recorded in Greece (Attica, May 2004) infesting blooms of ornamental roses [Rosa sp. (Rosaceae)]. This pest has also been recorded in Bulgaria and in Turkey causing serious damages on oil-bearing roses (Rosa damascena Mil1. var. kazanlika and Rosa damascena Mill. var. tringipetala respectively). In Turkey the subspecies Η. hungaricus (Herbst) subsp. marginicollis Schilskly seems to be more important. Homalorhynchites hungaricus completes one generation per year in Attica, The first adults of the beetle appear late April and infest the rose blooms feeding on them. The flight of Η. hungaricus adults lasts until the end of June. The female beetles bear often more than one hole in the young blooms and lay one egg in each hole. The development of the larvae takes place inside the calyx and lasts 30 – 42 days. The pupation of Η. hungaricus takes place in the ground, where the insect overwinters. The adults appear from late April to early May of the next year.
The efficacy of tracheostomy tube changes by speech-language pathologists: A retrospective review
Authors: Russell Scott M , Highsmith Lindsey , Henriquez Oswaldo , Belagaje Samir , Moore Charles 
Published: November 2017

Background/Aims:The number of tracheostomised patients in the acute care setting are increasing, resulting in an equal need of providers who can safely change tracheostomy tubes without complications. The objective of this retrospective study was to ascertain if trained speech-language pathologists were able to safely and efficiently perform tracheostomy tube changes in the acute care setting with minimal adverse events.Methods:Our retrospective case series spans from June 2010 to March 2015 and was completed at an academic hospital with a level 1 trauma designation. A total of 107 consecutive referrals undergoing a tracheostomy tube change, with a speech-language pathologist, were identified. Success was defined as the placement of the tracheostomy tube into the tracheal lumen with confirmation of placement. Only complications occurring at the time of the tracheostomy tube change were considered and were defined as an airway loss event: oxygen desaturation <85%; uncontrollable bleeding >5mL; and the inability to perform the attempted tracheostomy tube change for any other reason.Results:All of the tracheostomy tubes changes were performed at the bedside at a mean of 13 days post tracheotomy (range 3–28). A total of 106 (99%) of 107 tracheostomy tubes changes were successfully completed without complications; 83 (79%) of the tracheostomy tubes changes performed were the initial tracheostomy tubes change completed post tracheotomy. The remaining 23 (21%) were a combination of either the second or third change. One, (less than 1%), of the procedures was attempted and discontinued before the removal of the tracheostomy tubes, and referred back to the surgical services and was successfully managed with no untoward effects to the patient.Conclusions:This is the first study to audit the outcome of speech-language pathologists' ability to successfully change a tracheostomy tube. The findings suggest that specially trained speech-language pathologists, acting as part of a multi-disciplinary care team, have the potential to safely change tracheostomy tubes in an acute care setting with the availability of immediate physician and respiratory therapy support. Additional clinical benefits of the speech-language pathologist changing tracheostomy tubes may include earlier facilitation of communication, decannulation and initiation of nutrition/hydration.

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe objectives were to describe the demographic characteristics of children with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and to determine predictors of attendance at Fragile X (FX) clinics. Findings from the Community Support Network (CSN) and Our Fragile X World (OFXW) samples showed that children who attended FX Clinics were mostly male, high-school aged or younger, and white, non-Hispanic. Using logistic regression models, awareness about FX Clinic services, guardian education, and income (CSN), and child age, family income, and total number of co-occurring conditions (OFXW) were predictors of clinic attendance. Demographic and child characteristics accounted for a large portion of the explained variance. Importantly, symptom severity and parent knowledge about services were independent predictors beyond the demographic characteristics of families.

Published: November 2017

AbstractThis study examines the development of self-esteem in a sample of 138 Australian adolescents (90 males; 48 females) with cognitive abilities in the lowest 15% (L-CA) and a matched sample of 556 Australian adolescents (312 males; 244 females) with average to high levels of cognitive abilities (A/H-CA). These participants were measured annually (Grade 7 to 12). The findings showed that adolescents with L-CA and A/H-CA experience similar high and stable self-esteem trajectories that present similar relations with key predictors (sex, school usefulness and dislike, parenting, and peer integration). Both groups revealed substantial gender differences showing higher levels of self-esteem for adolescent males remaining relatively stable over time, compared to lower levels among adolescent females which decreased until midadolescence before increasing back.
Tradición analística y elaboración literaria en la estructura del libro V de las Antigüedades romanas de Dionisio de Halicarnaso
Authors: Rodriguez Horrillo Miguel Angel 
Published: November 2017

El libro quinto de las Antigüedades romanas presenta una unidad asegurada por la presencia de las intervenciones del autor y de los conceptos que caracterizan su pensamiento historiográfico. Esto puede observarse principalmente en las escenas de mayor elaboración, en las que Dionisio hace un uso sistemático de esos recursos, alejándose de la tradición analística y dando a los acontecimientos su perspectiva personal.

Published: November 2017

El control de los pequeños estróngilos de los equinos (grupo Ciatostoma) se basa casi exclusivamente en la aplicación de antihelmínticos. En nuestro país, el desarrollo de resistencia generalizada a los bencimidazoles, está limitando las alternativas químicas disponibles a las lactonas macrocíclicas (ivermectina y moxidectina) y al pirantel, consideradas como drogas de larga y corta acción respectivamente. La información actualizada sobre la actividad de estas drogas en el campo es crítica para determinar su eficacia y detectar el desarrollo de fenómenos de resistencia a los antihelmínticos. En los equinos el período de reaparición de huevos (PRH) luego del tratamiento es considerado como un indicador temprano de la presencia de resistencia. En el presente trabajo se evaluó la eficacia clínica y el PRH luego de tratamientos con moxidectina y pirantel en equinos adultos de cinco establecimientos de las provincias de Santa Fe y Córdoba naturalmente parasitados por pequeños estróngilos. La eficacia clínica determinada al día 15 pos tratamiento utilizando un test de reducción en el conteo de huevos, osciló entre el 99,8 y el 100% para la moxidectina y entre el 98,9 y el 98,8% para el pirantel. Por su parte en el presente estudio el PRH fue de al menos 100 días para la moxidectina y de 35 días para el pirantel. Estos resultados indican que ambas drogas se muestran activas para el control de estos nematodes y que las poblaciones estudiadas (alguna de ellas resistentes a bencimidazoles) permanecen actualmente susceptibles a la moxidectina así como al pirantel. Esta última droga es de uso limitado en nuestro país, pero su inclusión en los programas de control contra los pequeños estróngilos podría reducir la dependencia y la presión de selección sobre las lactonas macrocíclicas y contribuir a mantener la vida útil de las mismas.

Published: November 2017

Background: Lead can be a poison to the environment which may affects all body systems. Lead can also affect human health especially children, lead potentially lowering level of intelligence, growth, loss, causing anemia, and disorder among children as lead is neurotoxin and accumulative. In addition lead can cause a decrease in the ability of the brain, whereas in adults may cause interference of high blood pressure and other tissue toxicity. Any increase in the levels of lead in the blood of 10 ug / dl led to a decrease in IQ of 2.5 points or 0.975 IQ. The research aims to produce a special model of health risk among elementary school children due to lead exposure in the coastal city of Makassar.Methods: This study investigate the distribution of toxic lead in Makassar coastal area namely; sea water, sediments, shells and crab. Then investigate lead toxins around the school such as lead in soil, dust, paint, snacks and air. After create distribution maps lead risks we create analysis of environmental health risks for children.Results: Result revealed that the analysis of spatial distribution of Lead in the sediment shows that the high distribution was in station 3 in Mariso districts then coastal Tallo area and the lowest was in Tamalate District. While the analysis of the spatial Pb distribution in mussels seen that the highest distribution Pb was in station 4 of districts Mariso then coastal waters Tallo area and the lowest was in Tamalate District 5.00 to 7.20 mg / g.Conclusion: In conclusion, it revealed the concentration of Lead at all stations of those four districts have exceeded the level of allowed standard and may potentially lead to a hazard both to environment and human being who are living in the surround area.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
In the present paper, we consider the optical design of a zoom system for the active refocusing in laser guide star wavefront sensors. The system is designed according to the specifications coming from the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT)-HARMONI instrument, the first-light, integral field spectrograph for the European (E)-ELT. The system must provide a refocusing of the laser guide as a function of telescope pointing and large decentring of the incoming beam. The system considers four moving lens groups, each of them being a doublet with one aspherical surface. The advantages and shortcomings of such a solution in terms of the component displacements and complexity of the surfaces are described in detail. It is shown that the system can provide the median value of the residual wavefront error of 13.8–94.3 nm and the maximum value <206 nm, while the exit pupil distortion is 0.26–0.36% for each of the telescope pointing directions.
Conceptualization of the terms of self and the sense of identity and their disorders in the course of schizophrenia in the works of Polish authors
Authors: Karakuła-Juchnowicz Hanna , Morylowska-Topolska Justyna 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
A defined and formed identity is the foundation of human mental functioning. The sense of one’s own existence as an individual, together with the conscious image of oneself, plays a fundamental role in regulating behaviors. The ability to see the limits of one’s own body is a significant milestone in human development, because it allows the development of a global sense of self, and that is the basis for the process of identifying one’s own identity.
The paper presents the contribution of Polish researchers (psychiatrists and psychologists) to understanding the phenomenon of the sense of self, identity, and their disorders with particular emphasis on schizophrenia.
Method: A review of the available literature by Polish authors on the subject was undertaken by searching the following data-bases: Polish Bibliography of Medicine, CEJS, NUKAT and National Library Database, using the keywords: identity, self, personality, schizophrenia, ego, within time frame: 1970–June 2017. The article includes only those works which made the original contribution of Polish authors to research on the issue of self and the sense of identity, with particular emphasis on their disorders in schizophrenia.
Results: The works of three Polish authors: J. Reykowski, J. Kozielecki and Z. Zaborowski deserve particular attention in the context of the definition of self and the sense of identity.
The works of A. Kępiński, in turn, have contributed to understanding the problem of disorders of self in schizophrenia. Kępiński’s psychopathological concept was based on the analysis and description of the pathology of self, the pathology of the boundary self–the world, disorders of time-space order and the hierarchy of values. In these terms, he considered the structure of the psychotic world, especially in schizophrenia and melancholy. In his opinion, schizophrenic psychosis manifests itself primarily in the form of the blurring of the boundary self–the world and the pathology of self.
The paper also presents the contribution of J. Zadęcki, M. Rzewuska, J. Wciórka, S. Steuden, M. Huflejt-Łukasik to understanding the disorders of the sense of self in schizophrenia.
Conclusions: The views of Polish authors presented in the paper are an interesting contribution to world literature on research into disorders of self in schizophrenia.

SummaryThe paramyosin (Pmy) protein has been presented as a potential vaccine candidate againstSchistosomaspp. However, it remains elusive whether it works in controlling cystic echinococcosis (CE), which is caused by the larval stages ofEchinococcus granulosus(E. granulosus). This study investigated the characteristics ofE. granulosusPmy (EgPmy) usingin silicoanalysis and evaluated its potential as an epitope vaccine. The secondary structure was predicted by SOPMA software and linear B-cell epitopes were screened by the Kolaskar and Tongaonkar’s method on IEBD while conformational B-cell epitopes were predicted by the Ellipro. Additionally, the epitopes of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) were analyzed by the NetCTL-1.2 server. The results showed that α-helices, extended strands, random coils and β-turns accounted for 84.82 %, 6.60 %, 5.56 % and 3.01 % in EgPmy’s secondary structure, respectively. A total of 29 linear B-cell epitopes and 6 conformational epitopes were identified together with 25 CTL epitopes. The CTL epitope709KLEEAEAFA717showed a high potential to elicit CTL response. These results suggested that EgPmy has a strong immunogenicity, which could serve as a reference for the development of EgPmy-based epitope vaccine against CE.
Efficient implementation of ideal lattice-based cryptography
Authors: Pöppelmann Thomas 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Almost all practically relevant asymmetric cryptosystems like RSA or ECC are either based on the hardness of factoring or on the hardness of the discrete logarithm problem. However, both problems could be solved efficiently on a large enough quantum computer. While quantum computers powerful enough to break currently used parameter sets are not available yet, they are heavily researched and expected to reach maturity in 15 to 20 years. As a consequence, research on alternative quantum-safe cryptosystems is required. One alternative is lattice-based cryptography which allows the construction of asymmetric public-key encryption and signature schemes that offer a good balance between security, performance, and key as well as ciphertext sizes.
Flying? Falling? – Conflicting Representations of Disability in Kevin Kerr’s Skydive (2007) and Brad Fraser’s Kill Me Now (2013)
Authors: Schallegger René Reinhold 
Published: November 2017

AbstractCanadian contemporary theatre is defined by a preponderance of previously marginalised discourses such as Feminist drama, First Nations drama, or Queer drama. The centre to periphery dispersal that has driven the Canadian cultural scene since the Massey Commission’s final report (1951) has favoured the rise of these traditions into public awareness. At the same time, the voice of disabled persons is hardly ever heard on Canadian stages. This paper takes a closer look at two recent texts, Kevin Kerr’sAfter a concise review of critical texts on disability studies, disability theatre, and disability aesthetics in order to establish an appropriate theoretical framework and terminology, the two plays are analysed for how they represent disability and disabled people. Kerr chooses to elide the different physicalities of his abled and disabled actors, establishing a transformative disability aesthetics. Fraser, in line with his usual modus operandi, opts for a more confrontational hypervisibility of his disabled characters and maximum emotional impact. Both authors are fully abled, however, so while their texts can be considered successful contributions to the representation of disabled persons on the contemporary Canadian stage, with diametrically opposed representational strategies, the question of an appropriation of voice remains pertinent.

Neurophysiological aspects of the trigeminal sensory system: an update
Authors: Van der Cruyssen Frederic , Politis Constantinus 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe trigeminal system is one of the most complex cranial nerve systems of the human body. Research on it has vastly grown in recent years and concentrated more and more on molecular mechanisms and pathophysiology, but thorough reviews on this topic are lacking, certainly on the normal physiology of the trigeminal sensory system. Here we review the current literature on neurophysiology of the trigeminal nerve from peripheral receptors up to its central projections toward the somatosensory cortex. We focus on the most recent scientific discoveries and describe historical relevant research to substantiate further. One chapter on new insights of the pathophysiology of pain at the level of the trigeminal system is added. A database search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane was conducted with the search terms ‘animal study’, ‘neurophysiology’, ‘trigeminal’, ‘oral’ and ‘sensory’. Articles were manually selected after reading the abstract and where needed the article. Reference lists also served to include relevant research articles. Fifty-six articles were included after critical appraisal. Physiological aspects on mechanoreceptors, trigeminal afferents, trigeminal ganglion and central projections are reviewed in light of reference works. Embryologic and anatomic insights are cited where needed. A brief description of pathophysiology of pain pathways in the trigeminal area and recent advances in dental stem cell research are also discussed. Neurophysiology at the level of the central nervous system is not reviewed. The current body of knowledge is mainly based on animal and cadaveric studies, but recent advancements in functional imaging and molecular neuroscience are elucidating the pathways and functioning of this mixed nerve system. Extrapolation of animal studies or functioning of peripheral nerves should be warranted.
