Published: January 2018

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiac arrhythmias caused by electrical injuries are rare among emergency service admittances. We present a case of ventricular fibrillation (VF) with a rare etiology, confirmed by speckle-tracking imaging.

Case presentation: A 38-year-old man was addressed to our hospital to evaluate the etiology of an episode of VF, promptly resuscitated in a territorial hospital. On admission, his 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed a sinus rhythm, without any ST-T changes or atrioventricular conduction disorders. Transthoracic echocardiography and coronary angiography were normal, and the electrophysiological study did not induce VF. Anamnesis showed that the arrhythmia occurred after an electrical injury, resulting from the contact with a domestic low-voltage source. Speckle-tracking imaging revealed closure of the electric arc within the heart, which could explain the absence of skin-burn injuries in this case. The patient was discharged after seven days of hospitalization, without any complication.

Conclusions: VF can occur after an unexpected electrical shock during a household accident. This case report underlines the need for a complex interdisciplinary approach in such difficult cases, when the absence of any electrical injuries on the skin makes it difficult to recognize the electrical shock that triggered the ventricular fibrillation.
SafePub: A Truthful Data Anonymization Algorithm With Strong Privacy Guarantees

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Methods for privacy-preserving data publishing and analysis trade off privacy risks for individuals against the quality of output data. In this article, we present a data publishing algorithm that satisfies the differential privacy model. The transformations performed are truthful, which means that the algorithm does not perturb input data or generate synthetic output data. Instead, records are randomly drawn from the input dataset and the uniqueness of their features is reduced. This also offers an intuitive notion of privacy protection. Moreover, the approach is generic, as it can be parameterized with different objective functions to optimize its output towards different applications. We show this by integrating six well-known data quality models. We present an extensive analytical and experimental evaluation and a comparison with prior work. The results show that our algorithm is the first practical implementation of the described approach and that it can be used with reasonable privacy parameters resulting in high degrees of protection. Moreover, when parameterizing the generic method with an objective function quantifying the suitability of data for building statistical classifiers, we measured prediction accuracies that compare very well with results obtained using state-of-the-art differentially private classification algorithms.

Abstract
The aim of study was to examine coping and motivation of adolescent handball players in Debrecen. Forty-six male and thirty-one female handball players completed the questionnaires, furthermore eighteen male and eighteen females were participated in focus groups. The purpose of this study was to measure gender differences in sport motivation, psychological immune system and athletic coping skills in a population of adolescent handball players. The applied psychological measure method was the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS-28), four subscales of Psychological Immune System Inventory, and the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI-28). Results revealed that males have a better self-efficacy and athletic coping skills and have a higher level of intrinsic motivation too. The outcome of the survey confirm that adolescence boys have a better self-efficacy and coping which can be seen on the sport ground as well. Other way focus groups were indicated the measure anxiety on sport ground, the applied coping strategies, and the motivation viewpoints of playing handball at the beginning of the activity and currently. at the Results has showed that at the beginning of playing handball participant have extrinsic motivation (e. g. the stimulation of their parents) but currently the reason of the activity is intrinsic motivation (e. g. health, future). Additionally, during the match there is a significant difference between the perceived anxiety against hard and weak teams at the beginning, in the middle and in the end of the match; furthermore, females have a higher level of anxiety during the match, against hard and weak teams too, but the difference is not significant. Finally, there is no significant difference between males and females in the applied coping strategies and it doesn’t have any effects on anxiety.
Some aspects of school seen as a Professional Learning Community
Authors: Bradea Adela 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Each school is part of the community and at the same time, a provider of education services. This makes school a Learning Community for both teachers and students. While in the case of students this is a mission accomplished, in that of teachers’ things seem to be a bit more difficult. The latter ones should see themselves as members of a Professional Learning Community (PLC), where each teacher should cooperate with the other to achieve common goals, engage in common research activities for the progress of their school, take part in evaluating school results and propose plans to improve them etc. This research aimed to identify teachers’ perception of the role of school as a Professional Learning Community, to identify how school boards support and encourage this idea through participative management and to identify lines of joint research in which teachers are involved. The instrument used was a questionnaire having 30 close-ended items, administered to pre-university teachers from Bihor county, Romania. The implementation period was January to June 2016. The results show that there is collaboration between the same subject area teachers, who form committees to discuss, analyse and propose solutions. The research has also showed that more effort is required to improve collaboration between more experienced teachers and those who are at the beginning of their career, to improve collaboration between different subject area teachers by getting them to engage in joint projects, but above all, there is a need for a greater involvement of teachers, of school boards in managing schools so that participative management is achieved.

Abstract
The Presented research aims to analyze the Lithuanian and Polish housing markets in terms of the quality of life in new residential buildings. The article presents the concept of customer satisfaction in construction and criteria that define the quality of dwellings; the benefits, consequences, merits and demerits of the assessment of customer satisfaction are also named. A survey of customer satisfaction helps to evaluate the quality of dwellings according to their technical and functional parameters, as well as the degree of cooperation between customers and developers/contractors. The customer satisfaction index (CSI) was calculated for both countries. The results are useful for developers, contractors, facility management companies and building users.
Synthesis and crystal structures of the new ternary borides Fe3Al2B2and Ru9Al3B8and the confirmation of Ru4Al3B2and Ru9Al5B8−x(x≈2)
Authors: Hirt Sarah , Hilfinger Felix , Hillebrecht Harald 
Published: January 2018

AbstractSingle crystals of the new ternary borides Fe3Al2B2and Ru9Al3B8were obtained from the elements at 1900°C. Both compounds represent new structure types which combine well-known features of binary and ternary borides of transition metals in combination with aluminum. The crystal structure of Fe3Al2B2(P2/m,Z=2,a=5.724,b=2.857,c=8.723 Å, β=98.57°) contains tetramers of face-sharing trigonal prisms BFe6with a B4unit in trans-configuration. The tetrameric units are separated by Al-atoms which occupy all remaining rectangular sites of the trigonal prisms. The structure can be derived from Fe2AlB2by insertion of additional FeAl fragments in abccarrangement. The crystal structure of Ru9Al3B8(P6̅2m,Z=1,a=9.078,c=2.913 Å) combines zig-zag chains of boron atoms made of face-sharing trigonal prisms BFe6and isolated BFe6units. Three of these chains are connected by common corners to rods running in direction [001]. The rods are linked to a three-dimensional framework by isolated prisms via common edges. Again, Al occupies the capping positions of the trigonal prisms. Ru9Al3B8is the second representative for the combination of boron zig-zag chains and isolated B atoms. The existence of Ru4Al3B2(P4/mmm,Z=2,a=8.515,c=2.924 Å) and Ru9Al5B8−x(P4/m,Z=1,a=8.741,c=2.923 Å) were confirmed and the crystal structures refined. High quality data reveal a stoichiometric composition for Ru4Al3B2, while in Ru9Al5B8−xthere is a significant underoccupation (i.e. x≈2) of the central boron site within the B4units. The crystal structures of all four compounds represent examples for the combination of CsCl and AlB2fragments as they were frequently found for ternary borides of transition metals.

Abstract
Castagna, C, Krustrup, P, D'Ottavio, S, Pollastro, C, Bernardini, A, and Araújo Póvoas, SC. Ecological validity and reliability of an age-adapted endurance field test in young male soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 33(12): 3400–3405, 2019—The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and the association with relevant match activities (ecological validity) of an age-adapted field test for intermittent high-intensity endurance known as Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 1 children's test (YYIR1C) in young male soccer players. Twenty-eight young male outfield soccer players (age 11.1 ± 0.9 years, height 142 ± 4.4 cm, body mass 37.0 ± 5.9 kg) with at least 2 years of experience in soccer competitions were tested twice using YYIR1C and an age-adapted competitive small-sided game (i.e., 9v9), 7 days apart in a random order. The YYIR1C performance showed an excellent relative (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.94) and a good absolute reliability (typical error of measurement as percentage of the coefficient of variation = 5.1%). Very large and significant associations were found between YYIR1C performance and match high-intensity activity (r
2 = 0.53). Large correlations were found between YYIR1C and match sprinting (r
2 = 0.42) and high-intensity metabolic power (r
2 = 0.46) distances. Match total distance was largely associated with YYIR1C (r
2 = 0.30). The results of this study showed that YYIR1C may be considered a valid and reliable field test for assessing intermittent high-intensity endurance in young male soccer players. Because of the relevance of aerobic fitness in youth soccer, future studies testing the sensitiveness of YYIR1C are necessary.
Activity-Dependent Inhibitory Synapse Scaling Is Determined by Gephyrin Phosphorylation and Subsequent Regulation of GABAAReceptor Diffusion

Published: January 2018

AbstractSynaptic plasticity relies on the rapid changes in neurotransmitter receptor number at postsynaptic sites. Using superresolution photoactivatable localization microscopy imaging and quantum dot–based single-particle tracking in rat hippocampal cultured neurons, we investigated whether the phosphorylation status of the main scaffolding protein gephyrin influenced the organization of the gephyrin scaffold and GABAAreceptor (GABAAR) membrane dynamics. We found that gephyrin phosphorylation regulates gephyrin microdomain compaction. Extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2 and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) signaling alter the gephyrin scaffold mesh differentially. Differences in scaffold organization similarly affected the diffusion of synaptic GABAARs, suggesting reduced gephyrin receptor–binding properties. In the context of synaptic scaling, our results identify a novel role of the GSK3β signaling pathway in the activity-dependent regulation of extrasynaptic receptor surface trafficking and GSK3β, protein kinase A, and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIα pathways in facilitating adaptations of synaptic receptors.
Neural Correlates of Temporal Complexity and Synchrony during Audiovisual Correspondence Detection

Published: January 2018

AbstractWe often perceive real-life objects as multisensory cues through space and time. A key challenge for audiovisual integration is to match neural signals that not only originate from different sensory modalities but also that typically reach the observer at slightly different times. In humans, complex, unpredictable audiovisual streams lead to higher levels of perceptual coherence than predictable, rhythmic streams. In addition, perceptual coherence for complex signals seems less affected by increased asynchrony between visual and auditory modalities than for simple signals. Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to determine the human neural correlates of audiovisual signals with different levels of temporal complexity and synchrony. Our study demonstrated that greater perceptual asynchrony and lower signal complexity impaired performance in an audiovisual coherence-matching task. Differences in asynchrony and complexity were also underpinned by a partially different set of brain regions. In particular, our results suggest that, while regions in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) were modulated by differences in memory load due to stimulus asynchrony, areas traditionally thought to be involved in speech production and recognition, such as the inferior frontal and superior temporal cortex, were modulated by the temporal complexity of the audiovisual signals. Our results, therefore, indicate specific processing roles for different subregions of the fronto-temporal cortex during audiovisual coherence detection.
Hans von Bülow and the Confessionalization of Kunstreligion
Authors: Leistra-Jones Karen 
Published: January 2018

Hans von Bülow often used pointedly religious rhetoric in his statements about music: “I believe in Bach the Father, Beethoven the Son, and in Brahms the Holy Ghost of music,” he famously proclaimed. Elsewhere, he called Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier the “Old Testament” and Beethoven’s sonatas the “New Testament” of piano music. Beginning in the 1870s, these types of pronouncements became a central aspect of Bülow’s public image. This occurred as he began to position himself as a Beethoven specialist, with his celebrated edition of Beethoven’s piano sonatas (1871) and his new practice of performing “cycles” of Beethoven’s sonatas and (beginning in the 1880s) symphonies. Critical responses to Bülow as both pianist and conductor began to mirror his religious rhetoric: critics described his concerts as a kind of preaching, a proclaiming of the musical “gospel,” or a scriptural exegesis, and his audiences as a devout congregation.
Such accounts participated in the well-documented elevation of instrumental music as a Kunstreligion in the nineteenth century. Yet they moved beyond the mysticism and religious pluralism characteristic of early-Romantic Kunstreligion, and avoided calling the performer a “priest,” an epithet common in mid-century music criticism. Instead, Bülow and his critics positioned his activities within a more traditional German Protestantism by emphasizing the didactic nature of his performances, their focus on a strict “gospel” of canonic works, and their affinity with preaching and biblical interpretation. This article situates these developments within attempts to create a national culture in the new Kaiserreich of the 1870s and 1880s. This period saw numerous calls for new forms of religious experience free from the dogmas of organized religion, yet consistent with the Protestantism that was increasingly touted as a unifying force. In this context, Bülow was able to invest his role as performer with a prestige that drew on the interpretive practices and modes of authority associated with the Protestant church.
Weak Epistasis May Drive Adaptation in Recombining Bacteria

Abstract
The impact of epistasis on the evolution of multi-locus traits depends on recombination. While sexually reproducing eukaryotes recombine so frequently that epistasis between polymorphisms is not considered to play a large role in short-term adaptation, many bacteria also recombine, some to the degree that their populations are described as “panmictic” or “freely recombining.” However, whether this recombination is sufficient to limit the ability of selection to act on epistatic contributions to fitness is unknown. We quantify homologous recombination in five bacterial pathogens and use these parameter estimates in a multilocus model of bacterial evolution with additive and epistatic effects. We find that even for highly recombining species (e.g., Streptococcus pneumoniae or Helicobacter pylori), selection on weak interactions between distant mutations is nearly as efficient as for an asexual species, likely because homologous recombination typically transfers only short segments. However, for strong epistasis, bacterial recombination accelerates selection, with the dynamics dependent on the amount of recombination and the number of loci. Epistasis may thus play an important role in both the short- and long-term adaptive evolution of bacteria, and, unlike in eukaryotes, is not limited to strong effect sizes, closely linked loci, or other conditions that limit the impact of recombination.

Abstract
Climate change (CC) increases saltwater intrusion, changes water flow and alters the ecological characteristics that lead to significant impact on the farming activities in delta areas. This study defines inland aqua-ecological zones (AEZ) for CC conditions in the Mekong delta region, Vietnam. The hydraulic model Vietnam River Systems and Plains (VRSAP) was used to create maps of salinity and flood depth for three baseline scenarios (1998, 2000 and 2004) and their 2030 projection in the national CC scenarios. Zoning was then implemented in two levels. Level one delimitated the basic zone for inland aquaculture. Level two zoned for the purpose of adaptive aquaculture to CC. The results of the study identified seven sub-zones for ecological aquaculture of each baseline scenarios and their projection by 2030. In the context of CC, salinity intrusion area increases 1,442,228, 1,534,381, and 1,929,793 ha corresponded to the baseline scenarios years 2000, 2004, and 1998, respectively. The results of this study are the combination of the ecological boundary approach and hydraulic model and then AEZ for aquaculture was delimitated and spatially distributed. Thereby, their functions and structures of AEZ are identified in order to meet the demands of managers and planners for reducing the effects of salinity intrusion in Mekong Delta.
The Bishops, the Doctor, His Patient and the Attorney-General: The Conclusion of the McBain Litigation
Authors: Walker Kristen 
Published: January 2018

We are on the verge of creating a whole new generation of ‘stolen children’. Is the family any longer recognized and protected in law as the ‘fundamental unit of society’? This decision is one more example of the growing trend in our society to treating children as commodities: like the right of any person, single or married, to buy a car, there is now a legal right to buy an IVF child or, more strictly, to buy ‘assisted reproduction services’.Dr George Pell, Archbishop Of MelbourneI will hope that we will be able to start treating single women and women in gay relationships … as we would heterosexual women, married or in a de facto relationship, as soon as we are able to satisfy that these people who come along seeking our help understand the importance of the medical procedure and have received information about issues which surround donor sperm parenting.Dr John McBainDo you know, I think that what people misinterpret is that IVF babies are probably more wanted than any other baby. I mean, it's not an easy procedure at all and also it's very expensive, so the baby is definitely wanted, definitely, and I think a single mother … can give all the love that a married couple can give.Leesa Meldrum
Assessing the Cause and Effect of Persecution in Australian Refugee Law: Sarrazola, Khawar and the Migration Legislation Amendment Act (No 6) 2001 (CTH)
Authors: de Costa Alex 
Published: January 2018

Upon reading the Migration Legislation Amendment Bill (No 6) 2001 (Cth) to the House of Representatives for a second time, the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs ('the Minister’) stated that,[i]n the absence of clear legislative guidance, the domestic interpretation of our obligations has broadened out under cumulative court decisions so that Australia now provides protection visas in cases lying well beyond the bounds originally envisaged by the convention.The Migration Legislation Amendment Act (No 6) 2001 (Cth) (the ‘No 6 Act’) became law on 1 October 2001. It was one of a number of amending statutes (passed by both Houses of Parliament in late September 2001) that were intended to fundamentally alter procedural and substantive areas of immigration and refugee law in Australia. This paper discusses aspects of the No 6 Act which amended the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) (the ‘Migration Act’) by inserting a new Subdivision AL into Part 2, Division 3.
The Australian Constitution's Influence on the Common Law
Authors: Foley Kathleen 
Published: January 2018

What is the influence of the Australian Constitution ('Constitution') on the common law of Australia? In Lange v Australian Broadcasting Corporation, a unanimous High Court stated:Of necessity, the common law must conform with the Constitution. The development of the common law in Australia cannot run counter to constitutional imperatives. The common law and the requirements of the Constitution cannot be at odds.Applying this principle, Lange developed the common law of defamation consistently with the implied freedom of political communication. Subsequently, in John Pfeiffer Pty Ltd v Rogerson, the High Court held that the common law of choice of law in tort 'should be developed to take into account various matters arising from the Australian constitutional text and structure.'
