Heroes and Social Criticism in the Works of Valeria Anderson
Authors: Västrik Riho 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
This article investigates how director Valeria Anderson constructed heroes in the documentaries she directed between 1960 and 1985. It also asks how far one could go with social criticism in the post-Stalinist/pre-Perestroika era, how pointed the revelations of economic disorder could be, and what rank of leadership could be blamed for the occurrences of these problems. The article concentrates on the documentaries made by Valeria Anderson that depict positive heroes sacrificing their personal interests for the good of the homeland. The narratives are examined by using discourse analysis.
Exploring Cross-Media Audience Practices in Two Cases of Public Service Media in Estonia and Finland
Authors: Nanì Alessandro , Pruulmann-Vengerfeldt Pille 
Published: January 2018

AbstractStemming from the concept of active audiences and from Henry Jenkins’ (2006) idea of participatory culture as the driving force behind the transformation of public service broadcasting into agencies of public service media (Bardoel, Ferrell Lowe 2007), this empirical study explores the attitude and behaviour of the audiences of two crossmedia projects, produced by the public service media of Finland (YLE) and Estonia (ERR). This empirical study aims to explore the behaviour, wants and needs of the audiences of cross-media productions and to shed some light on the conditions that support the dynamic switching of the engagement with cross-media. The study’s results suggest that audiences are neither passive nor active, but switch from one mode to another. The findings demonstrate that audience dynamism is circumstantial and cannot be assumed. Thus, thinking about active audiences and participation as the lymph of public service media becomes problematic, especially when broadcasters seek generalised production practices. This work demonstrates how television networks in general cannot be participatory, and instead, how cross-media can work as a vehicle of micro participation through small acts of audience engagement (Kleut et al. 2017).
A Frobenius–Nirenberg theorem with parameter
Authors: Gong Xianghong 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The Newlander–Nirenberg theorem says that a formally integrable complex structure
is locally equivalent to the complex structure in the complex Euclidean space.
We will show two results about the Newlander–Nirenberg theorem
with parameter. The first extends the Newlander–Nirenberg theorem to a parametric version,
and its proof yields a sharp regularity result as Webster’s proof for the Newlander–Nirenberg theorem.
The second concerns a version of
Nirenberg’s complex Frobenius theorem and its proof yields a result with a mild loss of regularity.

Abstract
In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of coincident (fixed) points for nonlinear mappings of any number of arguments under a (ψ, θ, φ)-weak contraction condition without O-compatibility. The obtained results extend, improve and generalize some well-known results in the literature to be discussed below. Moreover, we present an example to show the efficiency of our results.
The Impact of the Applied Exchange Rate Regimes on the Internal Balance of Transition Countries
Authors: Vujanić Vlado , Gligorić Dragan 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
One of the key goals of the economic policy makers of every country is to achieve internal and external balance. An unavoidable segment of the analysis concerning the achievement of internal and external balance is certainly the influence of the exchange rate regime applied in a country. European transition countries, despite their similar initial problems and final objectives, applied different exchange rate regimes adapted to the economic circumstances and needs of the country. The paper aims to examine and demonstrate the impact of the applied exchange rate regime on the internal balance of the transition countries. The research encompasses 10 representative transition countries, in the period from 2000-2014. The results of the research, from the aspect of internal balance, confirmed the justification of the application of the floating exchange rate regime in more developed, but not in less-developed, European transition countries. The application of floating exchange rate regimes in less-developed transition countries is associated with a considerably higher average inflation rate, which may be explained by the higher import dependence of lessdeveloped countries and by the consequent transfer of depreciation to price growth.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
The effects of the mixture of pig skin (PS) and coconut powder (CP) on the gelling and rheological properties of composite gel prepared with squid myofibrillar protein (MP) and lard were studied. The addition of PS and CP gel had significantly improved the water-holding capacity (WHC) and gelling properties of MP-Lard composite gel. Besides, composite gels with an adequate amount of PS and CP gel had a better texture and higher whiteness. The SDS-PAGE results showed that the presence of PS and CP gel did not affect the coagulated proteins in composite gels. The three-dimensional network structures of composite gels containing PS and CP gel were more compact and homogeneous. In general, the mixture of PS and CP could enhance the gel quality of MP-Lard composite gel and it could be used as a fat substitute in surimi products.
Exploring patterns of article use by advanced Korean learners of English and Spanish
Authors: Lee Juyeon , Park Soyoung , Heinz Michael 
Published: January 2018

AbstractIt has been widely recognized in the field of second language acquisition that language learners tend to struggle with the acquisition of articles when their first languages (L1) do not have a similar linguistic system. Thus, various L1 effects on the usage of articles have been studied. In this context, the present study examined how the same L1 (i. e., Korean) would influence article usage in two different languages (i. e., English and Spanish). Specifically, advanced learners of English and advanced learners of Spanish performed a task of consecutive interpreting from Korean to English and Spanish, respectively, and their article usage patterns in English and Spanish were analyzed for comparison. The results show that both groups exhibited high levels of accuracy in the use of English and Spanish articles while major error types were article omission and article misuse, which can be partly attributed to L1 effects. As for differences, the participants in the English group tended to employ other determiners instead of articles, such as possessives, quantifiers, and demonstratives. In Spanish, the tendency to over-use definite articles was stronger than the English group. These differences may be related to certain consecutive interpreting strategies as well as differences in pedagogical approaches of teaching English and Spanish in Korea. Detailed patterns in the use of articles in English and Spanish are compared, and their implications are discussed.

Charge conservation in a gravitational field in the scalar ether theory
Authors: Arminjon Mayeul 
Published: January 2018

AbstractA modification of the Maxwell equations due to the presence of a gravitational field was formerly proposed for a scalar theory with a preferred reference frame. With this modification, the electric charge is not conserved. The aim of the present work was to numerically assess the amount of charge production or destruction. We propose an asymptotic scheme for the electromagnetic field in a weak and slowly varying gravitational field. This scheme is valid independently of the theory and the “gravitationally-modified” Maxwell equations. Then we apply this scheme to plane waves and to a group of Hertzian dipoles in the scalar ether theory. The predicted amounts of charge production/destruction discard the formerly proposed gravitationally-modified Maxwell equations. The theoretical reason for that is the assumption that the total energy tensor is the sum of the energy tensor of the medium producing the electromagnetic (e.m.) field and the e.m. energy tensor. This means that an additional, “interaction” tensor has to be present. With this assumption, the standard Maxwell equations in a curved spacetime, which predict charge conservation, are compatible with the investigated theory. We find that the interaction energy might contribute to the dark matter.
Error Free Quantum Reading by Quasi Bell State of Entangled Coherent States
Authors: Hirota Osamu 
Published: January 2018

AbstractNonclassical states of light field have been exploited to provide marvellous results in quantum information science. Usefulness of nonclassical states in quantum information science depends on whether a physical parameter as a signal is continuous or discrete. Here we present an investigation of the potential of quasi Bell states of entangled coherent states in quantum reading of the classical digital memory which was pioneered by Pirandola (Phys.Rev.Lett.,106,090504,2011). This is a typical example of discrimination for discrete quantum parameters. We show that the quasi Bell state gives the error free performance in the quantum reading that cannot be obtained by any classical state.

AbstractBeckham, GK, Olmeda, JJ, Flores, AJ, Echeverry, JA, Campos, AF, and Kim, SB. Relationship between maximum pull-up repetitions and first repetition mean concentric velocity.J Strength Cond Res32(7): 1831–1837, 2018—Mean concentric velocity (MCV) of exercise execution has been used by strength and conditioning professionals to improve exercise technique, provide accurate feedback, and predict exercise 1 repetition maximum. There is still limited research on velocity-based training and currently only one research study on the pull-up exercise. The primary purpose of this research was to determine whether the maximum number of pull-ups an individual can perform can be predicted by the MCV of a single pull-up repetition. Forty-nine healthy men and women were recruited who reported they could do at least 2 pull-ups. Each subject performed a standardized warm-up, then a single pull-up repetition, followed by one set of pull-up repetitions to failure. The GymAware PowerTool, a linear position transducer, was used to measure the MCV of each pull-up repetition. Both the MCV of the single repetition and first repetition of the set to failure were recorded, and the greater of the 2 was used in later analysis. Weighted least squares linear regression was used to estimate the relationship between the single-repetition MCV and maximum amount of pull-up repetitions. We observed a statistically significant linear relationship between the maximum number of pull-ups and the MCV of a single pull-up repetition (y = −6.661 + 25.556x,R2= 0.841). Prediction of the maximum pull-up number by a single repetition rather than testing the maximal pull-up number may improve efficiency and effectiveness of exercise testing batteries for military, police, and other populations.

Abstract
Hernández-Preciado, JA, Baz, E, Balsalobre-Fernández, C, Marchante, D, and Santos-Concejero, J. Potentiation effects of the French contrast method on the vertical jumping ability. J Strength Cond Res 32(7): 1909–1914, 2018—This study examined the acute effects of the potentiation protocol known as French Contrast Method on the vertical jumping ability measured using a countermovement jump (CMJ). Thirty-one athletes participated in this study (intervention group n = 17 and control group n = 14). The CMJ height was measured using the iOS application My Jump 2.0 before and after the French Contrast protocol, which consisted of 3 sets of isometric partial squats, drop jumps, dynamic half-squats, and hurdle jumps. The CMJ height improved from its baseline values by 5.1 ± 1.1% (p < 0.001, effect size [ES] = 0.27) after the first set, by 6.8 ± 1.8% (p < 0.001, ES = 0.41) after the second set, and by 8.5 ± 2.9% (p < 0.001, ES = 0.44) after the third set. The maximal potentiation value was an increase of 11 ± 6.3% (p < 0.001). The control group decreased its CMJ height from the baseline levels, reaching a significant decrement of −2.1 ± 1.6% (p = 0.047). These findings suggest that the French Contrast Method is a valid strategy to improve the vertical jumping ability. This method can be used after the warm-up as a conditioning activity to acutely enhance the lower body's force and power production.

Published: January 2018

Summary
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant multisystem disease affecting muscles, the eyes and the endocrine organs. Diabetes mellitus and primary hypogonadism are endocrine manifestations typically seen in patients with DM1. Abnormalities of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis have also been reported in some DM1 patients. We present a case of DM1 with a rare combination of multiple endocrinopathies; diabetes mellitus, a combined form of primary and secondary hypogonadism, and dysfunction of the HPA axis. In the present case, diabetes mellitus was characterized by severe insulin resistance with hyperinsulinemia. Glycemic control improved after modification of insulin sensitizers, such as metformin and pioglitazone. Hypogonadism was treated with testosterone replacement therapy. Notably, body composition analysis revealed increase in muscle mass and decrease in fat mass in our patient. This implies that manifestations of hypogonadism could be hidden by symptoms of myotonic dystrophy. Our patient had no symptoms associated with adrenal deficiency, so adrenal dysfunction was carefully followed up without hydrocortisone replacement therapy. In this report, we highlight the necessity for evaluation and treatment of multiple endocrinopathies in patients with DM1.

Learning points:

DM1 patients could be affected by a variety of multiple endocrinopathies.

Our patients with DM1 presented rare combinations of multiple endocrinopathies; diabetes mellitus, combined form of primary and secondary hypogonadism and dysfunction of HPA axis.

Testosterone treatment of hypogonadism in patients with DM1 could improve body composition.

The patients with DM1 should be assessed endocrine functions and treated depending on the degree of each endocrine dysfunction.

AbstractVector-borne diseases are responsible for &gt; 1 million deaths every year but genomic resources for most species responsible for their transmission are limited. This is true for neglected diseases such as sleeping sickness (Human African Trypanosomiasis), a disease caused by Trypanosoma parasites vectored by several species of tseste flies within the genus Glossina. We describe an integrative approach that identifies statistical associations between trypanosome infection status of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (Gff) flies from Uganda, for which functional studies are complicated because the species cannot be easily maintained in laboratory colonies, and ∼73,000 polymorphic sites distributed across the genome. Then, we identify candidate genes involved in Gff trypanosome susceptibility by taking advantage of genomic resources from a closely related species, G. morsitans morsitans (Gmm). We compiled a comprehensive transcript library from 72 published and unpublished RNAseq experiments of trypanosome-infected and uninfected Gmm flies, and improved the current Gmm transcriptome assembly. This new assembly was then used to enhance the functional annotations on the Gff genome. As a consequence, we identified 56 candidate genes in the vicinity of the 18 regions associated with Trypanosoma infection status in Gff. Twenty-nine of these genes were differentially expressed (DE) among parasite-infected and uninfected Gmm, suggesting that their orthologs in Gff may correlate with disease transmission. These genes were involved in DNA regulation, neurophysiological functions, and immune responses. We highlight the power of integrating population and functional genomics from related species to enhance our understanding of the genetic basis of physiological traits, particularly in nonmodel organisms.

Published: January 2018

Background: The most common type of neuropathy in adults is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted to determine the efficacy of gabapentin on nerve conduction studies in patients with mild CTS. The patients with mild CTS were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A received naproxen alone (500 mg/day, orally) while group B received both gabapentin (100-300 mg) and naproxen (500 mg/day, orally) for two months. Sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) and distal motor latency (DML) were performed at baseline and two months after treatment.
Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups with regards to the outcome parameters before initiation of intervention. The SNCV and DML showed no significant improvements in group A (p>0.05), whereas for group B the SNCV and DML of the median nerve were significantly improved at two months after treatment (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Gabapentin was found to be effective for SNCV and DML in patients with mild CTS over a two-month period.

Objetivo: Comprender la influencia de las prácticas y creencias populares en el destete precoz de puérperas que asistían al programa Estratégia Saúde da Família.Metodología: Estudio descriptivo con enfoque cualitativo, el cual se llevó a cabo entre abril y mayo de 2016 con 12 puérperas registradas en la unidad de Atendimento Multiprofissional Especializado (AME) Saúde da Família, a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los datos se analizaron mediante el análisis de contenido temático.Resultados: Las mujeres participantes en nuestro estudio comprendieron la importancia de la lactancia materna exclusiva. Sin embargo, factores como el retorno al trabajo o al estudio, las creencias y tabúes —como creer que la leche materna no es suficiente—, la dificultad de agarre y el temor por las alteraciones estéticas de los senos llevan al destete o a la inclusión de otros alimentos en la dieta antes de los primeros seis meses de vida del niño. La mayoría de las puérperas no recibió orientación profesional sobre la lactancia materna durante el control prenatal; aquellas que obtuvieron orientación informaron que la figura del enfermero fue un agente facilitador.Conclusión: Es necesario desmitificar la lactancia materna exclusiva y promover que esta práctica se lleve a cabo durante un tiempo determinado.
