Published: September 2017

AbstractTo facilitate easily accessible screening for trauma‐related symptoms, a web‐based application called Smart Assessment on your Mobile (SAM) was developed. In this study, we examined whether SAM was able to accurately identify posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression in adults. Eighty‐nine referred police officers completed SAM, containing the PTSD Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)‐5 (PCL‐5) and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS‐21), on their own device prior to a diagnostic interview where the Clinician‐Administered PTSD Scale for DSM‐5 (CAPS‐5) and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐IV (SCID‐I/P) were administered. Results showed a substantial agreement between SAM and the diagnostic interview in the assessment of PTSD and depression. An optimal trade‐off between sensitivity (89%) and specificity (68%) levels was found at a cut‐off score of 31 on the PTSD Checklist for DSM‐5 (area under the curve = 0.845, 95% CI [0.765, 0.925], diagnostic odds ratio = 15.97). This is one of the first studies to support the validity and reliability of a mobile screener following trauma. SAM may facilitate screening for trauma‐related symptoms on a large scale and could be a first step in a stepped‐care model for trauma survivors to help identify individuals who need further diagnostics and care.

AbstractPolyethylene glycol calcium (PEG‐Ca2+) transfection‐mediated analysis allows rapid and efficient examination of gene function. To investigate the diverse cellular functions of genes of interest in plant cells, macromolecules, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, are delivered into protoplasts prepared from somatic tissues or calli using a PEG‐Ca2+ transfection procedure. To take advantage of this macromolecule delivery system in the reproductive and developmental biology of angiosperms, this study established a PEG‐Ca2+ transfection system with isolated egg cells and zygotes. The conditions for PEG and plasmid DNA concentrations for transfection of rice egg cells were first addressed, and ~30% of PEG‐Ca2+‐transfected egg cells showed exogenous and transient expressions of fluorescent proteins from plasmid DNA delivered into the cells. Interestingly, a dual expression of two different fluorescent proteins in the same egg cell using two kinds of plasmid DNAs was also observed. For PEG‐Ca2+ transfection with maize zygotes, ~80% of zygotes showed expression of GFP proteins from plasmid DNA. Importantly, PEG‐transfected zygotes developed normally into cell masses and mature plants. These results suggest that the present PEG‐Ca2+‐mediated transient expression system provides a novel and effective platform for expressing and analyzing genes of interest in egg cells and zygotes. Moreover, combined with the CRISPR/Cas9 approach, the present transient expression system in zygotes will become a powerful and alternative tool for the preparation of gene‐edited plants.
Surface States in a Simple Crystal Model
Authors: TOMÁŠEK M. 
Published: September 2017

A very simple crystal model of a semi‐infinite heteroatomic planar lattice like boronitride is investigated for the energy, wave functions and existence conditions of surface states, using the one‐electron Green function method. σ and π electrons are treated separately. For π electrons, we find two surface state bands, both for the electropositive and the electronegative surface. The consequence is the existence of Shockley “subsurface” states. For σ electrons, similar results were found as for the sphalerite‐type lattice.The investigated model can also be used to draw qualitative conclusions about the effect of electronic correlation on surface states of planar graphite. The possibility of finding a certain type of “antiferromagnetism” with π electrons localized on the planar graphite boundary is suggested.On étudie un modèle très simple d'un cristal avec un réseau sémi‐infini, héteroatomique, comme le boronitride. L'énergie, les fonctions d'onde et des conditions d'existence d'états de surface ont été obtenus par la méthode de la fonction de Green à un électron. Les électrons σ et π ont été traités séparément. Pour les électrons π on trouve deux bandes d'états de surface pour la surface électropositive ainsi que pour la surface électronégative, ce qui implique l'existence d'états de “sous‐surface” de Shockley. Pour les électrons σ on trouve des résultats semblables aux ceux qu'on a obtenu pour le réseau de type sphalérite.Le modèle étudié ici peut aussi être employé pour tirer des conclusions qualitatives sur l'effet de la corrélation électronique sur les états de surface du graphite plan. On propose qu'il serait possible de trouver un certain type de “antiferromagnétisme” avec les électrons π localisés sur le bord du graphite plan.Es wurde ein einfaches Modell für ein halb‐unendliches, heteroatomares Kristallgitter, wie Boronitrid untersucht. Die Energie, die Wellenfunktionen und Existenzbedingungen für Oberflächenzustände wurden mit der Einelektron‐Green‐Funktionsmethode erhalten. Die σ‐ und π‐Electronen wurden getrennt behandelt. Für die π‐Elektronen finden wir zwei Bände für Oberflächenzustände, sowohl für die elektropositive als für die elektronegative Oberfläche. Als Folgerung erhalten wir die Shockleysche unteroberflächenzustände. Für die σ‐Elektronen wurden ähnliche Resultate als für das Sphaleritgitter gefunden.Das untersuchte Modell kann auch dafür angewendet werden, urn den Effekt der elektronischen Korrelation auf die Oberflächenzustände planares Graphits in qualitativer Weise zu diskutieren. Es wurde vorgeschlagen, dass es möglich wäre, eine gewisse Art von “Antiferromagnetismus” der π‐Elektronen die auf der Grenze planares Graphits lokalisiert sind, zu finden.
Effect of the Hydrogen Bond and the Solvent on Kinetics and the Mechanism of Intermolecular Proton Transitions

Published: September 2017

Abstracts A reaction involving an intermolecular proton transition RAH + BR1 → RA− + HB+ in a polar solvent is considered as a process of many consecutive steps. The formation of a hydrogen‐bonded complex and stepwise vibrational proton excitation in a double minimum well play a basic part in the reaction. Vibrational transitions occur under the effect of a random force imparted from the medium.A general expression for the rate constant of the multistep reaction is obtained without making the quasistationarity assumption. The rate constant for the reaction considered is obtained from the theory of random processes.By comparing it with experimental data conclusions are made about the overbarrier or tunnelling nature of some proton‐transfer reactions.Une réaction comportant une transition protonique intermoléculaire RAH + BR1 RA‐ + HB+ dans un dissolvant polaire peut être considéréé comme un procès de plusieurs pas consécutifs. Dans cette réaction la formation d'un complexe avec des liaisons d'hydrogène ainsi que l'excitation vibrationelle graduelle du proton dans le puits de potentiel à deux minimums joue un rôle essentiel. Les transitions vibrationelles résultent d'une force aléatoire provenant de milieu.On obtient une expression générale de la vitesse de la réaction à plusieurs pas sans aucun recours à l'hypothèse de quasi‐stationarité. Les methodes employées sont basées sur la théorie des procès aléatoires.On compare la valeur théorique de cette vitesse aux données expérimentales et on discute la nature de quelques réactions de transfert protonique.Eine Reaktion die intermolekulare Protonübergänge RAH + BR1 → RA‐ + HB+ in einem polaren Lösungsmittel mit sick bringt, wird als ein Prozess vieler aufeinanderfolgende Stufen angesehen. In dieser Reaktion spielt die Bildung eines Komplexes mit Wasserstoffbrücken and stufenweise Schwingungsanregungen des Protons eine fundamentale Rolle. Schwingungsübergänge geschehen, die von Kraften zufälliger Art erzeugt sind.Ein allgemeiner Ausdruck der Reaktionsrate für diese Reaktion wird mittels der Theorie von Zufalisprozessen ohne die Quasistationaritätsannahme hergeleitet.Dieser theoretische Ausdruck wird mit experimentellen Werten verglichen; die Natur gewisser Protontransferreaktionen wird diskutiert.

AbstractThe electrochemical behaviour of UO2(NO3)2in a solution of tri‐n‐butyl phosphate (TBP) present in 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (C4mimNTf2) ionic liquid was studied in the presence of chloride ion, to understand the decomplexation behaviour of uranyl ion (UO22+)from TBP coordination, and to examine the possibility of underpotential reduction of UO22+. The mole ratio of U : NO3 : TBP : Cl in ionic liquid solution was varied from 1 : 2 : 2 : 0to 1 : 2 : 2 : 6 in the study. The cyclic voltammogram of UO2(NO3)2 present in TBP/C4mimNTf2, was compared with the voltammograms obtained in the presence of 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride (C4mimCl). The current density of UO22+ reduction increased with increase in the chloride content of ionic liquid phase, which was attributed to the formation of chloro complexes of uranium (VI), and these chloro complexes were found to undergo facile and favourable reduction at the working electrode. The diffusion coefficient of uranylspecies was determined at various concentrations of chloride ion and the nature of uranylspecies diffusing at the working electrode at various mole ratios of U : NO3 : TBP : Cl was characterized by UV–Visible, ATR‐FTIR and Raman spectroscopy.

AbstractBackgroundRecent studies investigating the implications of additional ablation guided by dormant pulmonary vein (PV) conduction testing using adenosine showed conflicting results, and the data about atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after trigger site elimination in adenosine‐induced AF are still lacking.MethodsOf 846 patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF) who underwent PV isolation (PVI), adenosine test after PVI was performed in 148 patients.ResultsPVI was successfully achieved in 846 patients. We excluded 58 patients due to loss to the follow‐up. A higher rate of AF recurrence was found in the group without adenosine test (136/644, 21%) compared to the group with adenosine test (20/144, 13%, log‐rank P=0.047). In multivariate analysis model for AF freedom during the follow‐up period, the only significant clinical predictor of AF freedom was adenosine test (hazard ratio [HR] 1.97; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.2–3.23; P=0.007).Among 148 patients with adenosine test, 114 (77%) patients showed neither dormant conductions nor AF‐induced, 22 (15%) showed positive dormant conductions only, and 12 (8%) revealed adenosine‐induced AF (6 of them also showed dormant conduction). After additional ablation in positive dormant conduction group and adenosine‐induced AF group, AF recurrence was noted in 4/21 (19%) patients in positive dormant conduction group and 2/11 (18%) patients in adenosine‐induced AF group, which was not different from that of patients in negative dormant conduction/ no AF‐induced group (14/112, 12%, log‐rank P=0.67).ConclusionsAdenosine test after PVI to confirm the absence of dormant conduction and triggers initiating AF is beneficial to improve the outcomes after catheter ablation of PAF.
A Comparison of Approach and Avoidance Sexual Goals in Couples with Vulvodynia and Community Controls

Published: September 2017

Abstract

Background
Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a prevalent form of vulvodynia that interferes with the sexual and relational functioning of affected couples. Approach and avoidance sexual goals are associated with the sexual and relationship well-being of women with PVD and their partners. However, whether sexual goals differ in couples coping with PVD compared with community couples is unknown.

Aims
To compare the approach and avoidance sexual goals of women with PVD and their partners with a control sample of community women and their partners to build on an established motivational model and to compare the sexual goals of women with PVD with those of their partners.

Methods
Women diagnosed with PVD and their partners (n = 161) and control couples (n = 172) completed measures of approach and avoidance sexual goals.

Outcome
Approach and Avoidance Sexual Goals Questionnaire.

Results
Women with PVD reported lower approach and higher avoidance sexual goals than control women, whereas partners of women with PVD did not differ from control partners in their sexual goals. Women with PVD also reported lower approach and higher avoidance sexual goals compared with their partners, whereas there were no differences between partners in the control sample.

Clinical Implications
Given that avoidance sexual goals have been linked to negative sexual and relational outcomes, clinicians could strive to help couples with PVD become aware of their sexual motives, with the aim of weakening avoidance sexual goals and bolstering approach sexual goals.

Strengths and Limitations
This is the first study to empirically document differences in sexual goals between couples affected by PVD and community couples. Limitations include the study's correlational design, differences in demographic characteristics between samples, and the homogeneity of participants' sexual orientation.

Conclusions
Findings suggest that the sexual goals of women affected by PVD differ from those of community women and from their partners and support sexual goals as targets for psychological interventions to help couples coping with PVD.

Published: September 2017

Wavepackets obtained as solutions of the flow equations linearised around the mean flow have been shown in recent work to yield good agreement, in terms of amplitude and phase, with those educed from turbulent jets. Compelling agreement has been demonstrated, for the axisymmetric and first helical mode, up to Strouhal numbers close to unity. We here extend the range of validity of wavepacket models to Strouhal number $St=4.0$ and azimuthal wavenumber $m=4$ by comparing solutions of the parabolised stability equations with a well-validated large-eddy simulation of a Mach 0.9 turbulent jet. The results show that the near-nozzle dynamics can be correctly described by the homogeneous linear model, the initial growth rates being accurately predicted for the entire range of frequencies and azimuthal wavenumbers considered. Similarly to the lower-frequency wavepackets reported prior to this work, the high-frequency linear waves deviate from the data downstream of their stabilisation locations, which move progressively upstream as the frequency increases.
Social Theory and Everyday Marxists: Russian Perspectives on Epistemology and Ethics
Authors: Kruglova Anna 
Published: September 2017

AbstractScholars have long tracked how the USSR, a laboratory of social engineering, was deeply informed by local readings of Marxist social theory. Why, then, in recent years, have so many historical and anthropological studies of Russia excluded “Marxist” from the list of main descriptors, or optics, through which they view their material? In this essay, I argue that in much contemporary scholarship Marxism and its many afterlives have evidenced a kind of blind spot, reducing Marxism to “just” an ideology. I assert that rediscovering the presence of Marxism in Russia as a Gramscian hegemonic process and a vernacular that emerged among “laymen” can help us understand how a wide range of Russians continue to make sense of their worlds today. Drawing on several years of research in the city of Perm, I interpret everyday conversations among middle-age urbanites about morality, and demonstrate how this rediscovery of Marxism can elucidate what things matter for Russians today, and how. If social scientists proceed by acknowledging that “professional” and “lay” social knowledge increasingly share sources of “theoretical” inspiration, then we face a range of narrative challenges.
Settler-Humanitarianism: Healing the Indigenous Child-Victim
Authors: Maxwell Krista 
Published: September 2017

AbstractVictims of colonial, Indigenous child-removal policies have attracted public expressions of compassion from Indigenous and settler-state political leaders in Canada since the 1990s. This public compassion has fueled legal and political mechanisms, leveraging resources for standardized interventions said to “heal” these victims: cash payments, a truth-telling forum, therapy. These claims to healing provide an entry-point for analyzing how and why the figure of the Indigenous child-victim, past and present, is morally and politically useful for settler-states and their public cultures. I use the formulation of “settler-humanitarianism” to express how liberal interventions of care and protection, intended to ameliorate Indigenous suffering, align with settler-colonialism's enduring goal of Indigenous elimination (Wolfe 2006). Removal of Indigenous children was integral to the late nineteenth-century formation of the Canadian and Australian settler-states. Missionaries and colonial administrators represented these practices as humanitarian rescue from depraved familial conditions. Settler-humanitarians have long employed universalizing moral registers, such as “idleness” and “neglect,” to compel state interventions into Indigenous families. More recently, “trauma” has emerged as a humanitarian signifier compelling urgent action. These settler-humanitarian registers do political work. Decontextualized representations of Indigenous children as victims negate children as social actors, obscure the particularities of how collective Indigenous suffering flows from settler-colonial dispossession, and oppose children's interests with those of their kin, community, and nation. I analyze how and why Aboriginal healing as settler-humanitarianism has been taken up by many Indigenous leaders alongside settler-state agents, and examine the ongoing social and political effects of the material and discursive interventions it has spawned.

AbstractA p-a-SiC:H window layer was used in amorphous Si thin film solar cells to boost the conversion efficiency in an indoor lighting of 500 lx. The p-a-SiC:H window layer/p-a-Si:H buffer layer scheme moderates the abrupt band bending across the p/i interface for the enhancement of VOC, JSC and FF in the solar spectra of short wavelengths. The optimized thickness of i-a-Si:H absorber layer is 400 nm to achieve the conversion efficiency of ~9.58% in an AM1.5 G solar spectrum. However, the optimized thickness of the absorber layer can be changed from 400 to 600 nm in the indoor lighting of 500 lx, exhibiting the maximum output power of 25.56 μW/cm2. Furthermore, various durability tests with excellent performance were investigated, which are significantly beneficial to harvest the indoor lights for applications in the self-powered internet of thing (IoT).
Can intestinal microbiota be associated with non-intestinal cancers?

Published: September 2017

AbstractWhile the role of intestinal microbiota is increasingly recognized in the etiology of digestive cancers, its effects on the development of cancer in other parts of the body have been little studied. Through new-generation sequencing, we aimed to identify an association between the structure of intestinal microbiota and the presence of eye disc tumor in Drosophila larvae. First, we observed a parental effect on the diversity and structure of bacterial communities. Second, we identified a bacterial signature (at the family level) of cancer: cancerous larvae host a significantly lower relative abundance of Bacillaceae than individuals that did not develop the tumor. Thus, for the first time, we showed that a non-digestive cancer, i.e., in the brain, could be associated with an altered composition of the gut microbial community. Finally, we discuss the potential implications of the immune system in the gut–brain axis concept to explain the long-distant effect of intestinal microbiota on brain tumors. We also highlight the potential of our results in a therapeutic perspective for brain cancer that could be generalized for other cancers.

AbstractLiver disease is a serious problem affecting millions of people with continually increasing prevalence. Stem cell therapy has become a promising treatment for liver dysfunction. We previously reported on human minor salivary gland mesenchymal stem cells (hMSGMSCs), which are highly self-renewable with multi-potent differentiation capability. In this study, keratinocyte-like cells with self-regeneration and hepatic differentiation potential were isolated and characterized, and named human minor salivary gland epithelial progenitor cells (hMSG-EpiPCs). hMSG-EpiPCs were easily obtained via minor intraoral incision; they expressed epithelial progenitor/stem cell and other tissue stem cell markers such as CD29, CD49f, cytokeratins, ABCG2, PLET-1, salivary epithelial cell markers CD44 and CD166, and the Wnt target related gene LGR5 and LGR6. The cells were induced into functional hepatocytes in vitro which expressed liver-associated markers ALB, CYP3A4, AAT, and CK18. Upon transplantation in vivo, they ameliorated severe acute liver damage in SCID mice caused by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) injection. In a two-thirds partial hepatectomy mouse model, the transplanted cells survived at least 4 weeks and exhibited hepatic potential. These findings demonstrate that hMSG-EpiPCs have potential as a cellular therapy basis for hepatic diseases, physiological and toxicology studies and regenerative medicine.
