Purpose: Older adults compose the majority of patients with cancer in the United States; however, it is unclear how well geriatrics or geriatric oncology training is being incorporated into hematology-oncology (hem-onc) fellowships. Methods: A convenience sample of hem-onc fellows completed a (written or electronic) survey assessing their education, clinical experiences, and perceived proficiency in geriatric oncology during training; knowledge base in geriatric oncology; confidence in managing older adults with cancer; and general attitudes toward geriatric oncology principles. Results: Forty-five percent of respondents (N = 138) were female, 67% were based in the United States, and most (60%) were past their first year of training. Most fellows rated geriatric oncology as important or very important (84%); however, only 25% reported having access to a geriatric oncology clinic and more than one half (53%) reported no lectures in geriatric oncology. Fellows reported fewer educational experiences in geriatric oncology than in nongeriatric oncology. For example, among procedure-based activities, 12% learned how to perform a geriatric assessment but 78% learned how to perform a bone marrow biopsy ( P < .05). Of those completing the knowledge-based items, 41% were able to identify correctly the predictors of chemotherapy toxicity in older adults with cancer. Conclusion: Despite the prevalence of cancer in older adults, hem-onc fellows report limited education in or exposure to geriatric oncology. The high value fellows place on geriatric oncology suggests that they would be receptive to additional training in this area.
Conferences, Conventions, Conversations, and Coffee
Authors: Squinkifer Dietrich 
Published: August 2017

Coffee: A Misunderstanding is a mobile device–assisted interactive play that explores a fan/creator relationship and the many twists and turns such a relationship can take. The two protagonists, always played by audience members, are Twitter acquaintances who first meet in person during a fictional convention called AwesomeCon; during the course of a single playthrough they can become friends, get into heated arguments, or simply have an awkward conversation and leave.
In a similar tradition to ideas advanced in feminist film theory such as Kaja Silverman's Subject of Semiotics (1983) and The Acoustic Mirror (1988), Coffee interrogates the symbolic work done by mainstream cinema in constructing and maintaining binary gender roles—with such binaries also being upheld in high-budget, multimillion-dollar video games produced by the mainstream AAA industry—by subverting the assumed heteronormativity of the characters in the script as well as by not limiting who can be cast as each character: a straight white man, for instance, can find himself playing a queer woman of color. Coffee troubles the idea of the gaze in the sense of being a transparent production wherein the audience can see all of its component pieces rather than a finished, curated product. Finally, as Coffee is frequently performed at games conferences and fan conventions, it creates a layer of metacommentary wherein participants have a mediated space in which to explore particular issues brought on by the experience of attending such an event.

Published: August 2017

Abstract In this paper, a modified Fourier solution based on the first-order shear deformation theory is developed for the free vibration problem of moderately thick composite laminated annular sector plates with general boundary conditions, internal radial line and circumferential arc supports. In this solution approach, regardless of boundary conditions, the displacement and rotation components of the sector plate are written in the form of the trigonometric series expansion in which several auxiliary terms are added to ensure and accelerate the convergence of the series. Each of the unknown coefficients is taken as the generalized coordinate and determined using the Raleigh- Ritz method. The accuracy and reliability of the present solution are validated by the comparison with the results found in the literature, and numerous new results for composite laminated annular sector plates considering various kinds of boundary conditions are presented. Comprehensive studies on the effects of elastic restraint parameters, layout schemes and locations of line/arc supports are also made.New results are obtained for laminated annular sector plates subjected to elastic boundary restraints and arbitrary internal radial line and circumferential arc supports in both directions, and they may serve as benchmark solutions for future researches.
A review of electrospinning manipulation techniques to direct fiber deposition and maximize pore size

Published: August 2017

Abstract Electrospinning has been widely accepted for several decades by the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine community as a technique for nanofiber production. Owing to the inherent flexibility of the electrospinning process, a number of techniques can be easily implemented to control fiber deposition (i.e. electric/ magnetic field manipulation, use of alternating current, or air-based fiber focusing) and/or porosity (i.e. air impedance, sacrificial porogen/sacrificial fiber incorporation, cryo-electrospinning, or alternative techniques). The purpose of this review is to highlight some of the recent work using these techniques to create electrospun scaffolds appropriate for mimicking the structure of the native extracellular matrix, and to enhance the applicability of advanced electrospinning techniques in the field of tissue engineering.

Published: August 2017

AbstractBackgroundBullying is a widespread public health problem among youth with potentially far reaching negative implications.ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of childhood bullying and its association with addictive and anti-social behaviors among adults.SubjectsAdults (n = 10,156) aged ≥18 years were invited to participate.MethodsA cross-sectional, national study utilizing Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) was conducted in Saudi Arabia (SA). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for bullying in relation to the outcome.ResultsParticipant’s mean age was 34.3 ± 11.3 years and 52% were male. Thirty-nine percent of the participants reported being bullied. Significant gender differences were found in terms of prevalence of different types of bullying. Men reported higher prevalence of physical (40% vs. 33%, p < 0.01) and sexual (19% vs. 10%, p < 0.01) types of bullying. In contrast, women tend to report higher prevalence of psychological (16% vs. 9%, p < 0.01) and social (14% vs. 10%, p < 0.01) types of bullying. Bullying victims were 1.8 (95% CI 1.6–2.1) times more likely to smoke, 2.3 (95% CI 1.9–2.7) times more likely to drink alcohol, 2.9 (95% CI 2.4–3.4) times more likely to use drugs, 2.1 (95% CI 1.8–2.4) times more likely to have ever had out of wedlock sexual relations, and 2.5 (95% CI 2.1–3.0) times more likely to have suicidal thoughts compared to those who were not bullied.ConclusionChildhood bullying increases the chances of risky behaviors among adults in SA. Prevention of bullying should be in the national agenda of the Ministry of Education.
Comparison of different volumes of high intensity interval training on cardiac autonomic function in sedentary young women
Authors: Bhati Pooja , Bansal Vishal , Moiz Jamal Ali 
Published: August 2017

Abstract

Purpose
The present study was conducted to compare the effects of low volume of high intensity interval training (LVHIIT) and high volume of high intensity interval training (HVHIIT) on heart rate variability (HRV) as a primary outcome measure, and on maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), body composition, and lower limb muscle strength as secondary outcome measures, in sedentary young women.

Methods
Thirty-six participants were recruited in this study. The LVHIIT group (n = 17) performed one 4-min bout of treadmill running at 85%–95% maximum heart rate (HRmax), followed by 3 min of recovery by running at 70% HRmax, three times per week for 6 weeks. The HVHIIT group (n = 15) performed four times 4-min bouts of treadmill running at 85%–95% HRmax, interspersed with 3-min of recovery by running at 70% HRmax, 3 times per week for 6 weeks. All criterion measures were measured before and after training in both the groups.

Results
Due to attrition of four cases, data of 32 participants was used for analysis. A significant increase in high frequency (HF) power (p < 0.001) and decrease in the ratio of low frequency to high frequency power (LF/HF) ratio (p < 0.001) in HRV parameters, was observed post-HVHIIT, whereas, these variables did not change significantly (HF: p = 0.92, LF/HF ratio: p = 0.52) in LVHIIT group. Nevertheless, both the interventions proved equally effective in improving aerobic capacity (VO2max), body composition, and muscle strength.

Conclusion
The study results suggest that both LVHIIT and HVHIIT are equally effective in improving VO2max, body composition, and muscle strength, in sedentary young women. However, HVHIIT induces parasympathetic dominance as well, as measured by HRV.
Decreasing screen time and/or increasing exercise only helps in certain situations for young adults
Authors: Chow Ronald 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
There seems to be a lack of consensus about whether greater screen time is highly correlated to greater body mass index (BMI) (and lower physical exercise). What has been proven is that the vast majority of children and adolescents spend a “lot of time” indulging in screen-based leisure. The aim of this study was to investigate, among young adults, screen time and physical activity/fitness. A questionnaire was developed and circulated to young adults via media networks (i.e. email, social media platforms, etc.). There was no geographic restriction, and the survey was designed in English. Two people did not consent to the study, while 262 consented and completed the survey. The vast majority of participants resided in Canada, with a noticeable minority living in the United Kingdom and the United States. Of the participants, 46% were 18 or 19 years old, 30% were between the ages of 20 and 22 years and the remaining 24% were split evenly between the age cohorts of under 18 years and over 22 years. Four of 262 (2%) participants did not disclose their sex, 66% reported as female and 32% noted they were male. The BMI ranged from 14.4525 to 39.5325, and had a mean of 22.8155 and standard deviation of 4.1939. Among people who spent less than 4 h of exercise a week, those who spent more than 5 h on screen time based activities had a higher BMI (p = 0.0032) of 23.8151 vs. 21.7879 for those who spent less than 5 h. There was no relation between screen time and BMI among people who spent more than 4 h of exercise a week (p = 0.6209). Between exercise groups who spent less than 5 h of screen time a day, there was no relation between hours of exercise and BMI (p = 0.1242). There seems to exist a trend that among those who spend more than 5 h of screen time a day, less exercise is related to higher BMI (p = 0.0510) – 23.8151 vs. 22.4361. Healthy lifestyle choices such as fewer screen time hours and more exercise can be beneficial to young adults. Among certain groups, such as those who spend a lot of time on screens and those who do not exercise regularly, the benefits of more exercise and less screen time, respectively, are much more noticeable.
Carbon Emissions and Carbon Intensity in China’s Exports: A Contrast of SRIO and GIRIO Methods
Authors: Xiao Hao , Wang Jianguo , Zhu Qiao , Qiao Han 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThis paper compares differences between single regional input-output (SRIO) model and global interregional IO model (GIRIO) used in the area of carbon emission embodied in exports under global supply chain, and decomposes carbon emissions and carbon intensity in exports according to export path based on KWW (2014). Empirical analysis in China’s exports in 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2009 shows: 1) GIRIO model yielded about 2.11% less domestic emissions absorbed abroad, 0.8% more domestic emissions in exports, 1.5 times more foreign emissions in exports in 2009, compared to SRIO model. 2) USA and EU absorb most carbon emissions in China’s exports, but with declining share. Increasing domestic emissions firstly exported to developing countries but finally returned home and emissions from developing countries in China’s exports show their contribution from developing countries. Discrepancies between bilateral carbon emissions flows changes and direct trade flows changes suggest indirect carbon emissions transfer by third parties are neglected in SRIO model. 3) Despite dramatic decrease, China still bears 1.52 times more carbon emissions per GDP gained than foreign countries in fragmentation of China’s exports production in 2009, indicating different roles in production fragmentation.
A Generic Statistics-Based Tessellation Method of Voronoi Diagram
Authors: Kang Shun 
Published: August 2017

AbstractIn terms of distance function and spatial continuity in Voronoi diagram, a generic generating method of Voronoi diagram, named statistical Voronoi diagram, is proposed in this paper based upon statistics with mean vector and covariance matrix. Besides, in order to make good on the discreteness of spatial Voronoi cell, the cross Voronoi cell accomplished the discrete ranges in its continuous domain. In the light of Mahalanobis distance, not only ordinary Voronoi and weighted Voronoi are implemented, but also the theory of Voronoi diagram is improved further. Last but not least, through Gaussian distribution on spatial data, the validation and soundness of this method are proofed by empirical results.

Domestic Resources Cost Analysis of Small-Scale Beef Cattle Farming at Upstream Area of Benain-Noelmina Watershed, West Timor, East Nusa Tenggara
Authors: Nalle Agus Arnold , Hartono B. , Nugroho B. Ali , Utami H. D. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The study aims to evaluate the Domestic Resources Cost (DRC) of beef cattle raised either on grazing, or a tethering system of small-scale beef cattle farming. The study was done using a survey method. A total of 120 respondents were selected purposively to consist of 60 farmers applying the grazing system and another 60 farmers applying the tethering system. The parameters measured were socio-economic characteristic, Domestic Resources Cost Ratio (DRCR) and Private Cost Ratio (PCR). Data were analyzed by applying a method of Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). The result of the study indicated that 87% of those farmers involved in the grazing system and 85% of those involved in tethered beef cattle production, were within the productive age range. In the grazing system, the cattle farmers upstream of Benain-Noelmina watershed area gain the private and social profit levels which is IDR 406,284,-/AU/year and IDR 688,388,-/AU/year, respectively. Further, in the tethering system, the average of private and social profit gain is IDR 855,222,-/AU/year and IDR 1,385,712,-/AU/year, respectively. The small-scale beef cattle farming upstream of Benain-Noelmina watershed has competitive and comparative advantages, indicated by the value of PCR and DRCR which are less than 1. The PCR value was 0.41 in the grazing system and 0.71 on the tethering system; hence, the DRCR of the grazing system was 0.29 and 0.60 of the tethering system.
Yes/Noquestions in Ẹ́dó: The markers
Authors: Usenbo Perpetual 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThe study examinesyes/noquestions in the Ẹ́dó language with the aim of identifying the morphemes that function asyes/noquestion markers. Relying on primary data generated from a survey, the study proposes that there are five overtyes/noquestion markers in the language. Four of these question markers (té, yí, rà,andkué) have been discussed in the literature, but this study provides a different account of the role oftéin polar questions, and suggests that another morpheme, i.e.,nècan be classified as ayes/noquestion marker. Furthermore, the study reveals that the question markers are homonyms of other lexical and functional words. This has implications for the distribution of the question markers, as the co-occurrence with their homonyms yields unacceptable sentences. The paper describes this constraint on the use of the markers within the framework of Distributed Morphology.
Does the Appeals Process Reduce the Occurrence of Legal Errors?
Authors: Chopard Bertrand , Fain Edwige , Roussey Ludivine 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This paper challenges the commonly held belief that the appeals process reduces the occurrence of legal errors. We show that, although the right to file an appeal or request adjudication offers an opportunity to correct mistakes made at trial, the final impact of the appeals process on the accuracy of judicial decisions is not always desirable because of its effects on the trial court decision-maker’s effort and on deterrence. In particular, we find that if (i) the trial court decision-maker is more concerned with legal errors than with her reputation, (ii) few potential offenders attribute high benefits to committing harmful acts and (iii) the additional effort exerted by the decision-maker has a stronger impact on wrongful acquittals than on wrongful convictions, then the implementation of an appeals process may spur a decision-maker to reduce her effort and may thus be detrimental to the quality of judicial output.
