Published: November 2017

AbstractThis research aims to investigate the organisational factors that influence the motivation to work and their consequences on health perception and satisfaction with life for teachers in private Higher Education institutions. The study has emerged as a result of the need to understand the teaching profession in Brazil since the implementation of the Higher Education reform, which began in the 2000s and is characterised by a predominantly private expansion. A descriptive quantitative study was conducted with 148 teachers who answered a survey questionnaire. The results demonstrate that perceived organisational support and the relationship with the leader influence teachers' autonomous motivation. In addition, autonomous motivation was observed to partially mediate perceived organisational support, health perception and satisfaction with life; the findings also indicate mediation between the leader–follower relationship (LMX) with their health perception and general satisfaction with life.

Published: November 2017

SummaryThis study compared the antioxidant capacity of yogurt with and without microbial transglutaminase treatment after milk fermentation, and investigated the correlation between antioxidant property and the water‐soluble peptides and amino acids composition. Results showed that small molecular peptide fraction exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than large peptides. Microbial transglutaminase yogurt isolated fraction had stronger antioxidant capacity than that from the control. Microbial transglutaminase altered the peptides composition, and resulted in higher amount of small molecular peptides (<1.5 kDa) mainly consisting of κ‐casein‐derived peptides in yogurt. The dominant peptides sequences (IAKYI, IAKYIPI, IAKYIPIQY, PYYAK and NQFLPYPYYAK) in the treated yogurt were different from those in the control (PYPQ, VLPVPQKAVPYPQ, PVPQKAVPYPQ and VLSRYPSYGLN). Microbial transglutaminase improved the composition and concentration of amino acids in yogurt.
Lentil protein: a review of functional properties and food application. An overview of lentil protein functionality
Authors: Jarpa‐Parra Marcela 
Published: November 2017

SummaryThere is an increased interest, driven by environmental sustainability and food security points of view, in seeking new protein sources as alternatives to replace animal proteins (Day, Trends in Food Science and Technology, 32, 2016, 25). Pulse proteins, including lentil proteins (LP), are promising good substitutes as the wide variety of functional properties shown by them (Alsohaimy et al., World Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 3, 2007, 123; Boye et al., Food Research International, 43, 2010a, 537). Interest in LP has grown due to its high nutritional value, good Leu/Ile and Leu/Lys ratios (1.24–1.98 and 1.08–2.03, respectively) (Urbano et al., Lentil: An Ancient Crop for Modern Times, 2007, 47, Berlin: Springer), high digestibility (~83%) (Barbana & Boye, Food & Function, 4, 2013, 310), and its potential use in food product applications (Farooq & Boye, Novel Food and Industrial Applications of Pulse Flours and Fractions. Pulse Foods, 1st edn, 2011, Amsterdam: Elsevier Ltd; Aider et al., Journal of Food Research, 1, 2012, 160; De la Hera et al., LWT – Food Science and Technology, 49, 2012, 48; Turfani et al., LWT – Food Science and Technology, 78, 2017, 361). On the other hand, great progress has been made lately to reveal the good functionality of LP such as solubility and emulsifying, foaming and gelation capacities (Avramenko et al., Food Research International, 81, 2016, 17; Jarpa‐Parra et al., Food Hydrocolloids, 61, 2016, 903; Primozic et al., Food Chemistry, 237, 2017, 65). However, the relatively unknown relationship between its molecular structure and functionalities and the lack of knowledge of the impact of the extraction and environmental conditions on those properties has hindered the exploitation of their full potential. This review describes the current knowledge of the LP structure, physical chemistry and functional properties, and its potential role as an ingredient for the development of food grade products. The gap between the current knowledge and what remains to be known is emphasised.

ObjectivesTo assess the detection rate of putative Lynch syndrome‐associated upper urinary tract urothelial cancer among all upper urinary tract urothelial cancers and to examine its clinicopathological characteristics.MethodsA total of 143 patients with upper urinary tract urothelial cancer who had received total nephroureterectomy were immunohistochemically stained for the expression of mismatch repair proteins MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6. For all suspected mismatch repair‐deficient cases, MMR genetic testing was recommended and clinicopathological features were examined.ResultsLoss of mismatch repair proteins was found in seven patients (5%) who were thus categorized as putative Lynch syndrome‐associated upper urinary tract urothelial cancer. Five of these patients showed dual loss of MSH2/MSH6. Two patients were confirmed to be MSH2 germline mutation carriers. Histologically, all seven tumors were low‐grade atypical urothelial carcinoma and showed its unique histological features, such as an inverted papilloma‐like growth pattern and a villous to papillary structure with mild stratification of tumor cells. Six tumors had no invasion of the muscularis propria. No recurrence or cancer‐related deaths were reported in these seven patients. Just three patients met the revised Amsterdam criteria.ConclusionsThis is the first report that universally examined mismatch repair immunohistochemical screening for upper urinary tract urothelial cancers. The prevalence (5%) of putative Lynch syndrome‐associated upper urinary tract urothelial cancers is much higher than we had expected. We ascertained that putative Lynch syndrome‐associated upper urinary tract urothelial cancers were clinically in the early stage and histologically classified into low‐grade malignancy with its characteristic pathological features. The clinicopathological characteristics that we found in the present study could become additional possible markers in the diagnosis of Lynch syndrome‐associated upper urinary tract urothelial cancers.

AbstractTheory predicts a trade‐off between sexually selected weapons used to secure mates and post‐copulatory traits used to maximize fertilization success. However, individuals that have a greater capacity to acquire resources from the environment may invest more in both pre‐ and post‐copulatory traits, and trade‐offs may not be readily apparent. Here, we manipulate the phenotype of developing individuals to examine allocation trade‐offs between weapons and testes in Mictis profana (Hemiptera: Coreidae), a species where the hind legs are sexually selected weapons used in contests over access to females. We experimentally prevented males from developing weapons by inducing them to autotomize their hind legs before the final moult to adulthood. We compared trait expression in this group to males where autotomy was induced in the mid‐legs, which are presumably not under sexual selection to the same extent. We found males without weapons invested proportionally more in testes mass than those with their mid‐legs removed. Males that developed to adulthood without weapons did not differ from the mid‐leg removal group in other traits potentially under precopulatory sexual selection, other post‐copulatory traits or naturally selected traits. In addition, a sample of adult males from the same population in the wild revealed a positive correlation between investment in testes and weapons. Our study presents a critical contribution to a growing body of literature suggesting the allocation of resources to pre‐ and post‐copulatory sexual traits is influenced by a resource allocation trade‐off and that this trade‐off may only be revealed with experimental manipulation.

AimThe aim of this study is to address the presence of hypertension and risk for cardiovascular diseases in patients with Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) who were treated with endovascular stent placement.MethodsTwenty patients (mean age: 14.2 ± 3.9 years) who were treated with stent and 20 age‐ and sex‐matched controls were included to the study. Structure and functions of left ventricle were assessed by echocardiography. Carotid intima media (CIM) thickness was measured by using sonography as a marker for detecting cardiovascular risk. As indirect marker of arterial stiffness, pulse wave velocity, and augmentation index were recorded by ambulatory blood pressure monitorization/arteriography device.ResultsBy ambulatory blood pressure monitorization, 24 h and daytime systolic and mean arterial pressure values were found to be significantly higher in patient group. Based on percentile values, 15% and 5% of patients were pre‐hypertensive and hypertensive, respectively. Pulse wave velocity and cardiac output values were found to be significantly higher than control group. CIM thickness was also found to be significantly higher in patient group when compared to controls.ConclusionsIt was shown that hypertension incidence as demonstrated by ambulatory blood pressure monitorization and risk for cardiovascular diseases as indicated by CIM thickness and Pulse wave velocity were higher than those in healthy population even after CoA is corrected.
A Technique to Correct Anterior‐Posterior Tooth Discrepancy for a Maxillary Immediate Complete Denture
Authors: Bedrossian Edmond A. , Putra Armand , Chung Kwok‐Hung 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThis article describes a chairside technique to correct inappropriate occlusal vertical dimension as well as the inaccurate anterior‐posterior tooth set‐up of a maxillary immediate complete denture. When fabricating an immediate denture, the inability of a wax‐denture trial and the potential for unpredictable complications during surgery, compromised esthetics and function of an immediate complete denture may pose a clinical problem, which needs instant correction. The technique described can provide an alternative method to correct and deliver a definitive immediate complete denture on the day of surgery.
Effects of Dietary Protein and Lipid Levels with Different Protein‐to‐Energy Ratios on Growth, Feed Utilization, and Plasma Biochemical Parameters of Dianchi Golden‐line Barbell, Sinocyclocheilus grahami

Published: November 2017

AbstractAn 8‐wk feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of varying dietary protein and lipid levels with different protein‐to‐energy (P/E) ratios on growth, feed utilization, and plasma biochemical parameters of Sinocyclocheilus graham. Nine experimental diets were formulated to contain three protein levels (35, 40, and 45%), and each with three lipid levels (4, 8, and 12%), to produce a range of P/E ratios from 71.31 to 98.64 mg protein/kcal. Each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate groups of 25 fish. Fish grew best when fed the diet containing 45% protein and 12% lipid. However, fish fed the diet with 40% protein and 8% lipid had similar weight gain and specific growth rate as those fed the above diet but showed relatively better feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio, and protein and energy retentions. Additionally, plasma total amino acids and blood urea nitrogen contents and γ‐glutamyltransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase activities in fish fed the diet containing 40% protein and 8% lipid were relatively low among the dietary treatments. These results may indicate that a diet containing 40% protein and 8% lipid with P/E ratio of 84.05 mg protein/kcal would be suitable for the optimal growth, feed utilization, and health of S. graham.

AbstractBackground & AimsEarly TIPS placement must be considered in patients with Child‐Pugh B and active bleeding at endoscopy or in patients with Child‐Pugh C 10‐13 and variceal bleeding. However, active bleeding at endoscopy is a subjective criterion. Moreover, a previous study has shown that a MELD‐based score accurately predicted 6‐week mortality and helped to stratify patients. Using a prospective series of patients included in a multicentre study before the era of early TIPS, we aimed (i) to identify factors associated with 6‐week mortality, focusing on the prognostic value of active bleeding; and (ii) to assess whether a recalibrated MELD‐based score accurately predicted 6‐week mortality.MethodsAncillary study of the prospective multicentre Baveno IV study, including patients with acute variceal bleeding.ResultsTwo hundred and nineteen patients were analysed (Child‐Pugh A/B/C = 18/45/37%). The overall actuarial likelihood of survival on day 42 was 84%. The variability for the diagnosis of active bleeding at endoscopy was high (range, 41.4% to 84.6% among the centres). Active bleeding at endoscopy was not associated with 6‐week mortality in the entire population or in Child‐Pugh B patients. In a multivariate analysis, independent factors associated with mortality were liver function, infection, HE and HCC. The recalibrated MELD‐based score was accurate in predicting 6‐week mortality (AUROC = 0.787). The recalibrated MELD‐based score demonstrated better performance compared to the MELD score.ConclusionThe recalibrated MELD‐based score accurately predicted mortality in our prospective cohort. Active bleeding at endoscopy had no prognostic value in cirrhotic patients presenting with acute variceal bleeding. Standardizing active bleeding assessment at endoscopy is warranted.
Expected, ideal, and actual relational outcomes of emerging adults' “hook ups”

Published: November 2017

AbstractDespite the prevalence of “hooking up” among emerging adults, little is known about the outcomes of these encounters. A sample of 348 college students completed a survey on expected, ideal, and actual relational outcomes of hook ups (assessed at a 10‐week follow‐up). Results showed that most men and women expected outcomes involving minimal commitment (i.e., nothing more, continued sexual involvement). Ideal outcomes of hook ups differed by gender, with women more often hoping for romantic involvement, and men more likely to view continued sexual involvement as ideal. Actual outcomes varied, with continued sexual involvement the most common outcome (32.2%), followed by friendship (27.7%), romantic involvement (23.2%), and nothing more (17%); 43.8% of participants experienced fulfillment of ideal outcomes.
The Promise and Problems of Universal, General Theories of Contract Law
Authors: Bix Brian H. 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThere are a growing number of general theories of contract law and of other doctrinal areas. These theories are vastly ambitious in their aims. This article explores the nature of these claims, and the motivations for offering such theories, while considering the challenges to success. It is in the nature of theorizing to seek general categories, including doctrinal categories, and to try to discover insights that hold across those categories. However, differences both within a doctrinal area and across legal systems undermine the case for universal and general theories. Also, unjustifiably general theories may distract us from developing properly contextual legal rules, and might even have the unintended effect of legitimating unjust rules.
Intention in Criminal Law: The Challenge from Non‐Observational Knowledge
Authors: Donnelly‐Lazarov Bebhinn 
Published: November 2017

AbstractIntention is at the heart of criminal law. If it is not the mens rea requirement found most often in offences, it is still the standard against which other grades of fault tend relatively to be judged. It has generated much controversy, as the crucial question, “Did the defendant intend X?” is resistant to clear answers. This paper argues that intention‐questions are difficult because intention is not the thing law takes it to be: Importantly, contrary to law's assumptions, it is neither a state of mind nor is it connected in an exclusive manner to the reasons for which we act.
Gap Probability Distribution of the Jacobi Unitary Ensemble: An Elementary Treatment, from Finite n to Double Scaling
Authors: Min Chao , Chen Yang 
Published: November 2017

AbstractIn this paper, we study the gap probability problem of the (symmetric) Jacobi unitary ensemble of Hermitian random matrices, namely, the probability that the interval is free of eigenvalues. Using the ladder operator technique for orthogonal polynomials and the associated supplementary conditions, we derive three quantities instrumental in the gap probability, denoted by , , and . We find that each one satisfies a second‐order differential equation. We show that after a double scaling, the large second‐order differential equation in the variable a with n as parameter satisfied by can be reduced to the Jimbo–Miwa–Okamoto σ form of the Painlevé V equation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and assess the nutritional practices of open‐water swimmers, during the preparation period and the competition, as well as their implications on performance and anthropometric parameters according to their age. Twenty‐four (n = 24) men open‐water swimmers, twelve young (26.3 ± 4.9 years) and twelve older athletes (45.8 ± 9.7 years), participated in this study. Nutritional behavior—energy intake consumption, and anthropometric characteristics were evaluated prior to the Toroneos Gulf crossing (26 km). In addition, nutritional intakes during the race and anthropometrics after the race were also evaluated. Significant differences between the two groups were found for Toroneos Gulf crossing performance, BMI, and all variables of body composition at the preparation period (P < .05). The results involving energy consumption, in both preparation period and during the race, displayed significant differences between the two groups, while both groups exhibited significantly negative energy balances. During the race, significant differences were found also for the energy expenditure, relative energy intake, negative energy balance, relative consumption of carbohydrates per hour, and relative protein intake (P < .05). In both groups, lower intakes than the recommended were observed for macronutrient‐micronutrient elements at any time point. Significant correlations were found between selected variables of body composition, nutritional intakes during the preparation period and the competition, and athletes' performance. In summary, this study provides strong evidence about the malnutrition of ultra‐endurance swimmers prior and during their competition, with potential dangers for their health and performance as certain deficiencies in both macro‐ and micronutrient contents are present.
Neuromuscular adaptations induced by adjacent joint training

Published: November 2017

Effects of resistance training are well known to be specific to tasks that are involved during training. However, it remains unclear whether neuromuscular adaptations are induced after adjacent joint training. This study examined the effects of hip flexion training on maximal and explosive knee extension strength and neuromuscular performance of the rectus femoris (RF, hip flexor, and knee extensor) compared with the effects of knee extension training. Thirty‐seven untrained young men were randomly assigned to hip flexion training, knee extension training, or a control group. Participants in the training groups completed 4 weeks of isometric hip flexion or knee extension training. Standardized differences in the mean change between the training groups and control group were interpreted as an effect size, and the substantial effect was assumed to be ≥0.20 of the between‐participant standard deviation at baseline. Both types of training resulted in substantial increases in maximal (hip flexion training group: 6.2% ± 10.1%, effect size = 0.25; knee extension training group: 20.8% ± 9.9%, effect size = 1.11) and explosive isometric knee extension torques and muscle thickness of the RF in the proximal and distal regions. Improvements in strength were accompanied by substantial enhancements in voluntary activation, which was determined using the twitch interpolation technique and RF activation. Differences in training effects on explosive torques and neural variables between the two training groups were trivial. Our findings indicate that hip flexion training results in substantial neuromuscular adaptations during knee extensions similar to those induced by knee extension training.
