Abstract
We present a spectral and timing study of the NuSTAR and Swift observations of the black hole candidate IGR J17091–3624 in the hard state during its outburst in 2016. Disk reflection is detected in each of the NuSTAR spectra taken in three epochs. Fitting with relativistic reflection models reveals that the accretion disk is truncated during all epochs with

, with the data favoring a low disk inclination of ∼30°–40°. The steepening of the continuum spectra between epochs is accompanied by a decrease in the high energy cutoff: the electron temperature

drops from ∼64 to ∼26 keV, changing systematically with the source flux. We detect type-C QPOs in the power spectra with frequency varying between 0.131 and 0.327 Hz. In addition, a secondary peak is found in the power spectra centered at about 2.3 times the QPO frequency during all three epochs. The nature of this secondary frequency is uncertain; however, a non-harmonic origin is favored. We investigate the evolution of the timing and spectral properties during the rising phase of the outburst and discuss their physical implications.

Abstract
We report the discovery of an infrared (IR)-bright dust-obscured galaxy (DOG) that shows a strong ionized-gas outflow but no significant molecular gas outflow. Based on detailed analysis of their optical spectra, we found some peculiar IR-bright DOGs that show strong ionized-gas outflow ([O iii] λ5007) from the central active galactic nucleus (AGN). For one of these DOGs (WISE J102905.90+050132.4) at z
spec = 0.493, we performed follow-up observations using ALMA to investigate their CO molecular gas properties. As a result, we successfully detected 12CO(J = 2–1) and 12CO(J = 4–3) lines and the continuum of this DOG. The intensity-weighted velocity map of both lines shows a gradient, and the line profile of those CO lines is well-fitted by a single narrow Gaussian, meaning that this DOG has no sign of strong molecular gas outflow. The IR luminosity of this object is log (L
IR/L
☉) = 12.40, which is classified as an ultraluminous IR galaxy (ULIRG). We found that (i) the stellar mass and star formation rate relation and (ii) the CO luminosity and far-IR luminosity relation are consistent with those of typical ULIRGs at similar redshifts. These results indicate that the molecular gas properties of this DOG are normal despite the fact that its optical spectrum shows a powerful AGN outflow. We conclude that a powerful ionized-gas outflow caused by the AGN does not necessarily affect the cold interstellar medium in the host galaxy, at least for this DOG.

Abstract
The luminosity distance measurement of GW170817 derived from gravitational-wave analysis in Abbott et al. (2017a, hereafter A17:H0) is highly correlated with the measured inclination of the NS–NS system. To improve the precision of the distance measurement, we attempt to constrain the inclination by modeling the broadband X-ray-to-radio emission from GW170817, which is dominated by the interaction of the jet with the environment. We update our previous analysis and we consider the radio and X-ray data obtained at t < 40 days since merger. We find that the afterglow emission from GW170817 is consistent with an off-axis relativistic jet with energy E

k
∼ 1048 −3 × 1050 erg propagating into an environment with density n ∼ 10−2–10−4 cm−3, with preference for wider jets (opening angle θ

j
= 15°). For these jets, our modeling indicates an off-axis angle θ
obs ∼ 25°–50°. We combine our constraints on θ
obs with the joint distance–inclination constraint from LIGO. Using the same ∼170 km s−1 peculiar velocity uncertainty assumed in A17:H0 but with an inclination constraint from the afterglow data, we get a value of

km s−1 Mpc−1, which is higher than the value of

km s−1 Mpc−1 found in A17:H0. Further, using a more realistic peculiar velocity uncertainty of 250 km s−1 derived from previous work, we find

km s−1 Mpc−1 for H
0 from this system. This is in modestly better agreement with the local distance ladder than the Planck cosmic microwave background, though such a significant discrimination will require ∼50 such events. Measurements at t > 100 days of the X-ray and radio emission will lead to tighter constraints.
Non-Mydriatic Ultra-Widefield Imaging Compared With Single-Field Imaging in the Evaluation of Peripheral Retinal Pathology
Authors: Adhi Mehreen , Silva Fabiana Q. , Lang Richard , Seballos Raul , Sukol Roxanne B. , Feinleib Steven , Singh Rishi P. 
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To report clinical feasibility of non-mydriatic ultra-widefield (NMUWF) imaging and determine the prevalence of peripheral retinal pathology in comparison to standard single-field imaging in a primary care setting.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Six hundred and thirty-two subjects (1,260 eyes) who underwent NMUWF imaging during annual health screening from October 2015 through March 2016 were retrospectively identified. An automated algorithm processed the raw images into: (1) NMUWF image with mask/grid outline that delineates the center 45° field simulating standard single-field photograph and (2) single-field image comprising 45° posterior pole extracted from the corresponding NMUWF image.

RESULTS:
Mean age of patients was 59.6 years ± 7.5 years. Of the 1,260 eyes, 1,238 eyes (98.3%) were considered optimum for grading. NMUWF images detected peripheral retinal pathology in 228 eyes (18.4%) that were not visible on corresponding single-field images.

CONCLUSIONS:
NMUWF imaging is feasible in a primary care setting, allows improved visualization of peripheral retinal pathology, and may therefore be useful for telemedicine screening.

Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To report the 4-year outcomes of a neonatal ophthalmic screening program in the Kunming Maternity and Child Care Hospital of Kunming City, Kunming, China.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This was a retrospective, observational case series study. Newborns who underwent neonatal eye screening using the RetCam system (Clarity Medical Systems, Pleasanton, CA) at the authors' hospital from March 2010 to February 2014 were included.

RESULTS:
Of the 15,284 full-term infants who participated in the program, 21% (3,171 of 15,284) had some ocular abnormalities. Among these abnormalities, retinal hemorrhage was the most frequent finding, accounting for 19% (2,899 of 15,284) of all cases. Other anomalies were found in 2% (272 of 15,284) of the cases. No major ocular or systemic complications were found to be associated with the screening process.

CONCLUSION:
Overall, 21% of the newborns who underwent the eye screening program were found to have an abnormality. The use of the RetCam for the screening program was both efficient and safe in identifying ocular anomalies.

Characteristics of the Choriocapillaris Layer in Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
Authors: Qu Yi , Gong Di , Yu Weihong , Dong Fangtian 
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To describe the vascular characteristics of the choriocapillaris layer in acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) imaged by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), and to analyze the vascular density.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Retrospective, observational case series. In the study, 20 eyes of patients with acute CSC and 20 normal individuals were selected. All underwent OCTA, and 3 mm × 3 mm scanning mode was chosen for analyzing vascular density and morphological characteristics on the choriocapillaris layer.

RESULTS:

A dark region with some hyperreflective signal spots on the choriocapillaris layer was found in all affected eyes' OCTA images. The choroidal vascular density (CVD) in the affected eyes was significantly lower than in the normal eyes (
P
= .000 vs.
P
< .05). Additionally, the density of affected eyes was much smaller in comparison with the fellow eyes, which was statistically significant (
P
= .000 vs.
P
< .05). Fellow eyes' density was also lower than in normal eyes (
P
= .009 vs.
P
< .05).

CONCLUSION:
OCTA could offer a new approach to help understand the mechanisms of changes in the choriocapillary with imaging and provide quantitative analysis, as well.

Salmonella Vaccines: Conduits for Protective Antigens
Authors: Clark-Curtiss Josephine E. , Curtiss Roy 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Vaccines afford a better and more cost-effective approach to combatting infectious diseases than continued reliance on antibiotics or antiviral or antiparasite drugs in the current era of increasing incidences of diseases caused by drug-resistant pathogens. Recombinant attenuated Salmonella vaccines (RASVs) have been significantly improved to exhibit the same or better attributes than wild-type parental strains to colonize internal lymphoid tissues and persist there to serve as factories to continuously synthesize and deliver rAgs. Encoded by codon-optimized pathogen genes, Ags are selected to induce protective immunity to infection by that pathogen. After immunization through a mucosal surface, the RASV attributes maximize their abilities to elicit mucosal and systemic Ab responses and cell-mediated immune responses. This article summarizes many of the numerous innovative technologies and discoveries that have resulted in RASV platforms that will enable development of safe efficacious RASVs to protect animals and humans against a diversity of infectious disease agents.
A paternidade de Madalena: um estudo de caso de atribuição de autoria
Authors: Freitas Deise Joelen Tarouco de 
Published: December 2017

Este é estudo de caso de atribuição de autoria, cujo objeto é o conto Madalena publicado no periódico A marmota, no Rio de Janeiro, em 1859. A causa da controvérsia sobre a autoria começou pelo fato de Machado de Assis e Manuel Duarte Moreira de Azevedo, ambos colaboradores do jornal à época, utilizarem a mesma assinatura, M. de A. em seus textos. Nosso estudo é baseado na estatística textual e utiliza o programa Hyperbase. Adotamos uma metodologia que combina técnicas e cálculos a fim de abranger o maior número de variáveis focadas nas características estruturais do corpus. Após o estudo comparativo de 37 gráficos e análises em árvore, relativos a um corpus formado por cinco bases de dados, com contos e romances, constatamos que a maioria deles aponta para Moreira de Azevedo como o provável autor de Madalena.
Reproducibility of heart rate and perceptual demands of game-based training drills in handball players
Authors: Ravier Gilles , Hassenfratz Claire , Bouzigon Romain 
Published: December 2017

Game-based training are popular in team-sports; however there is a lack of research specific to team handball. The aim of this study was to assess i) the test-retest reliability of heart rate (HR), time spent in HR zone intensities and rating of perceived exertion of a novel small-sided game, ii) and whether it is comparable to that of generic intermittent shuttle running and match play with team handball players. Fourteen elite male handball players completed each exercise comprising two periods of 10min interspersed with 2min recovery in separate occasions and repeated them one week apart. Exercises consisted of intermittent 30s-30s shuttle running (ISR), intermittent 30s-30s small-sided game (with 3-a-side field players, 3vs3) and match play (with 6-a-side field players, 6vs6). Mean HR demonstrated high level of reproducibility for the three drills (r = 0.86-0.89, TEM = 2.21-2.63 bpm, CV = 1.23-1.55%). For time spent in heart rate zones TEMs reached up 1.12, 1.40 and 2.48 min for ISR, 6vs6 and 3vs3, respectively. Specifically for HR zone higher than 90% of HRmax, CVs showed wide extent of scores with 9.73 (ISR), 27.39 (6vs6) and 108.29% (3vs3). Mean HR results suggest that physiological response was consistent between sessions. Because of the poor reproducibility for time spent in the target zone higher than 90% of HRmax, the efficiency of both 3vs3 and 6vs6 in improving aerobic power should be analysed with caution. The present results suggest that reproducibility of physiological demand of ball-drills should be considered before prescribing them as conditioning training.

Investigam-se novas sistematizações da etapa de Redução Temática no contexto de um curso de formação continuada de professores de uma escola municipal de Iguaí-BA, durante o processo de obtenção do Tema Gerador “Para onde vai o lixo do meio rural de Iguaí-BA?”. As informações foram obtidas durante este processo de Investigação Temática e a análise foi realizada por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva, em que a Redução Temática foi desenvolvida tendo como referência quatro fases estabelecidas a priori: a) alternativas acerca do problema e implicações socioambientais; b) estruturação do programa escolar a partir das unidades e/ou subunidades; c) seleção de conhecimentos necessários para compreensão do problema; d) planejamento das aulas a partir dos Momentos Pedagógicos. Dentre os resultados, destaca-se que a estruturação da Redução Temática proporcionou uma análise do ponto de vista conceitual-pedagógico articulada com o Tema Gerador e as fases desenvolvidas nesse processo constituíram vias de problematização junto às professoras, no que se refere ao contato com uma organização curricular baseada em temas.
A presença de Shakespeare na escrita de Nuno Bragança
Authors: Loureiro La Salette 
Published: December 2017

Nuno Bragança inclui Shakespeare no grupo de criadores que foram muito importantes para si, sendo por isso normal que a obra do dramaturgo inglês apareça na sua escrita. Neste texto, apresenta-se em primeiro lugar a crítica do filme Macbeth, de Orson Welles, onde Bragança analisa as características que tornam a obra shakespeareana intemporal, verificando-se que estas coincidem com aquelas que são defendidas e praticadas pelo autor e suas personagens escritoras. Em segundo lugar, analisa-se a presença de algumas peças de Shakespeare na ficção de Bragança, que se concretiza através de vários processos de intertextualidade, procedimento que exige ao leitor uma cooperação ativa permanente, no sentido de identificar a presença do texto convocado e de interpretar a sua recontextualização. No que diz respeito a Shakespeare, a presença dos seus textos deteta-se nos três romances de Nuno Bragança, podendo identificar-se as peças Romeu e Julieta, Hamlet e Macbeth. As duas primeiras aparecem fugazmente nos dois primeiros romances, mas em Square Tolstoi este diálogo com Shakespeare ganha outra dimensão e alcance, assumindo um relevo determinante na produção de sentidos do romance em duas linhas de ação.
Retropharyngeal tendinitis: Hydroxyapatite deposition driven headache and nuchal rigidity resolves with prednisone
Authors: Amarnani Abhimanyu , Saperstein Yair , McFarlane Isabel M , Ozeri David J 
Published: December 2017

We present a case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with sudden onset severe headache, neck pain, and nuchal rigidity associated with dysphagia. The initial differential in this patient included meningitis or retropharyngeal abscess, and an extracranial neck CT showed an ill-defined hypo-attenuated lesion within the retropharyngeal space. However, the neck pain and dysphagia were unresponsive to empirical antibiotic treatment and pain management. Further CT with contrast identified acute calcific tendonitis of the longus colli tendon, also known as retropharyngeal tendonitis (RCT). Although RCT is already known as a rare, self-limiting inflammatory condition, we present a new case of RCT, with the uncommon features of headache and nuchal rigidity in an aseptic patient, while providing a diagnostic flow chart to guide the clinical work-up of similar presentations to also include RCT.

Protein S deficiency is an inherited thrombophilia associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. However, arterial thrombosis is a relative rare complication of protein S deficiency and the prognosis of these patients was worse than those without protein S deficiency in the literature. Herein we reported a 43-year-old male with protein S deficiency experiencing several times acute peripheral arterial thrombosis of left leg. Surgical thrombectomy was performed initially but later endovascular treatment (EVT) was suggested. Although EVT was successfully performed by catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), arterial thrombosis still recurred three months later. CDT was tried again but thrombosis could not be treated by this strategy anymore. Therefore, we used mechanical thrombectomy device (Rotarex system) and successfully regained the straight-line blood flow to the foot after the procedure. Peripheral echo showed patent flow after 6 months follow-up. In conclusion, arterial thrombosis is a relative rare complication of protein S deficiency and prognosis was not well in the literature, our case reminds physicians that Rotarex system is a safe and highly efficient device for acute PAOD even in the patients with hypercoagulable state.
Následky porušení povinností ze smlouvy o výkonu funkce a jejich vymáhání: limity odpovědnosti člena orgánu a limity smlouvy o vypořádání
Authors: Příkazská Monika 
Published: December 2017

Příspěvek se zabývá omezením odpovědnosti člena orgánu, a to jak odpovědnosti za řádný výkon funkce, tak i odpovědnosti za újmu, která vznikla v důsledku porušení péče řádného hospodáře. Z pohledu vypořádací smlouvy, která se vztahuje k následnému vypořádání již vzniklé újmy, je klíčové především posouzení, zda na obsah vypořádací smlouvy dopadá § 2898 OZ (a zda je tedy možné i vypořádání ve formě úplného prominutí dluhu). A pokud § 2898 OZ způsob vypořádání neomezuje, existují patrně jiné limity vzájemného vypořádání. Významné bude především posouzení možnosti ochrany třetích osob či osob v postavení slabší strany, kterých se vypořádací smlouva uzavřená mezi členem orgánu a obchodní korporací může dotknout.

Cílem článku je popsat přístup čisté právní vědy k osobě jako personifikovanému souboru právních norem. Z toho důvodu je třeba též vysvětlit přístup právního normativismu k subjektivnímu právu jako k právní normě. Právní normativismus bývá často ztotožňován s Vídeňskou školou a zejména se jménem Hanse Kelsena. Proto je dalším cílem tohoto článku ukázat, že i Brněnská škola, jmenovitě pak František Weyr ale zejména i prakticky neznámý český normativista Josef Slezák přinesla k otázce osoby v právu mnoho originálních a důležitých poznatků.
Vypořádání majetkových poměrů manželů z pohledu evropského mezinárodního práva soukromého
Authors: Zavadilová Lucie 
Published: December 2017

Pokračující proces europeizace mezinárodního rodinného a dědického práva vyústil v přijetí dvou významných právních předpisů – nařízení Evropského parlamentu a Rady (EU) č. 650/2012 o příslušnosti, rozhodném právu, uznávání a výkonu rozhodnutí a přijímání a výkonu veřejných listin v dědických věcech a o vytvoření evropského dědického osvědčení, a dále nařízení Rady (EU) 2016/1103 provádějícího posílenou spolupráci v oblasti příslušnosti, rozhodného práva a uznávání a výkonu rozhodnutí ve věcech majetkových poměrů v manželství. Byť je unijní úprava rozdělena do dvou samostatných právních nástrojů, představuje vypořádání majetkových poměrů manželů často nutný předpoklad pro vypořádání dědictví po zemřelém manželovi. Cílem předkládaného článku je analyzovat, do jaké míry se podařilo obě nařízení zkoordinovat, a to zejména pokud jde o otázku jejich působnosti a problematiku určování práva rozhodného.
El lèxic tècnic a la traducció catalana de l’Opus agriculturae de Pal·ladi: una aproximació als llibres de 'grammàtica' i 'medicina'
Authors: Sebastian Torres Raimon 
Published: December 2017

In 1385 Ferrer Saiol, protonotary of Queen Eleanor of Sicily, translated into Catalan Palladius’s Opus Agriculturae (‘The Work on Farming’). This Latin work was widely known throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, and therefore a translation of Opus Agriculturae was wanted in the fourteenth-century's Kingdom of Aragon. A difficult aspect of Opus Agriculturae is its technical vocabulary. Being aware of it, Ferrer Saiol referred in his translation to his use of numerous reference books to undertake the best possible version. These medieval glossaries and vocabularies belong in his translation, explicitly as well as implicitly. We identify here books that Ferrer Saiol used for this version, like Papias’s Vocabularium, Johannes Balbus’s Catholicon, Simon of Genoa’s Clavis Sanationis and Ibn Wafid’s De Simplicibus Medicinis. These books are analysed here in order to understand its translating process. In addition, we aim to understand through medieval glossaries those passages whose scientific terms Saiol doesn’t correctly translate.
