Published: July 2017

BACKGROUND:
Socioeconomic deprivation is associated with reduced use of antenatal resources and poor maternal outcomes with pregnancy. Research examining the association between socioeconomic deprivation and use of obstetric anesthesia care in a country providing universal health coverage is scarce. We hypothesized that in a country providing universal health coverage, France, socioeconomic deprivation is not associated with reduced use of anesthetic care during pregnancy and delivery. This study aimed to examine the association between socioeconomic deprivation and (1) completion of a mandatory preanesthetic evaluation during pregnancy and (2) use of neuraxial analgesia during labor.

METHODS:
Data were from a cohort of 10,419 women who delivered between 2010 and 2011 in 4 public teaching hospitals in Paris. We used a deprivation index that included 4 criteria: social isolation, poor housing condition, no work-related household income, and state-funded health care insurance. Socioeconomic deprivation was defined as a deprivation index greater than 1. Preanesthetic evaluation was considered completed if performed more than 48 hours before delivery. The association between socioeconomic deprivation and completion of the preanesthetic evaluation and use of neuraxial labor analgesia was assessed by multivariable logistic regression adjusting for education level, country of birth, and maternal and pregnancy characteristics.

RESULTS:
Preanesthetic evaluation was completed for 8142 of the 8624 women (94.4%) analyzed and neuraxial labor analgesia was used by 6258 of the 6834 women analyzed (91.6%). After adjustment, socioeconomic deprivation was associated with reduced probability of completed preanesthetic evaluation (adjusted odds ratio 0.88 [95% confidence interval, 0.79–0.98]; P = .027) but not use of neuraxial labor analgesia (adjusted odds ratio 0.97 [95% confidence interval, 0.87–1.07]; P = .540).

CONCLUSIONS:
In a country providing universal health care coverage, women who were socioeconomically deprived showed reduced completion of preanesthetic evaluation during pregnancy but not reduced use of neuraxial labor analgesia. Interventions should be targeted to socioeconomically deprived women to increase the completion of the preanesthetic evaluation.

ABSTRACT
Hypoxia signaling is an ancient pathway by which animals can respond to low oxygen. Malfunction of this pathway disturbs hypoxic acclimation and can result in various diseases, including cancers. The role of hypoxia signaling in early embryogenesis remains unclear. Here, we show that in the blastula of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIFα), the downstream transcription factor of the hypoxia pathway, is localized and transcriptionally active on the future dorsal side. This asymmetric distribution is attributable to its oxygen-sensing ability. Manipulations of the HIFα level entrained the dorsoventral axis, as the side with the higher level of HIFα tends to develop into the dorsal side. Gene expression analyses revealed that HIFα restricts the expression of nodal to the ventral side and activates several genes encoding transcription factors on the dorsal side. We also observed that intrinsic hypoxic signals in the early embryos formed a gradient, which was disrupted under hypoxic conditions. Our results reveal an unprecedented role of the hypoxia pathway in animal development.
The B-type cyclin CYB-1 maintains the proper position and number of centrosomes during spermatogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Yoon Sunghee , Kawasaki Ichiro , Shim Yhong-Hee 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT
Depletion of cyb-1, a major B-type cyclin expressed during Caenorhabditis elegans spermatogenesis, causes a meiotic division arrest in diakinesis-stage spermatocytes with multiple and mispositioned centrosomes. Association of the two nuclear membrane proteins SUN-1 and ZYG-12 is essential for centrosome–nuclear envelope attachment. We found that depletion of sun-1 causes centrosome defects similar to those caused by cyb-1 depletion in diakinesis-stage spermatocytes. In addition, Ser8 and Ser43 residues in SUN-1 are dephosphorylated in cyb-1-depleted diakinesis-stage spermatocytes. Nevertheless, dephosphorylation of these residues was not sufficient to reproduce the cyb-1-related centrosome defects. We then found that the ZYG-12::GFP signal in the nuclear envelope was significantly reduced in the cyb-1-depleted diakinesis-stage spermatocytes. However, only mispositioned but not multiplied centrosomes were observed in zyg-12 mutant diakinesis-stage spermatocytes, suggesting that zyg-12 is not involved in the centrosome duplication at this stage. Our results suggest that CYB-1 functions to maintain proper positioning of centrosomes during spermatogenesis by regulating phosphorylation of SUN-1, which is possibly crucial for the association between SUN-1 and ZYG-12. This phosphorylation of SUN-1 may also regulate centrosome duplication independently of ZYG-12.
Fosbury flop tear of the rotator cuff: diagnostic assessment with magnetic resonance arthrography
Authors: Kolo Frank C , Schwitzguébel Adrien J , Kourhani Abed , Denard Patrick J , Charbonnier Caecilia , Lädermann Alexandre 
Published: July 2017

Objectives:
The aim was to assess the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) of the shoulder for the detection of "Fosbury flop" tears.

Methods:
All patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were considered as potentially eligible for inclusion in this prospective case series. Preoperative MRAs were consecutively performed and compared with intraoperative findings being the gold standard control. Two experienced musculoskeletal radiologists, blinded to the arthroscopic findings, independently analysed all MRAs for the presence of typical signs of Fosbury flop tears.

Results:
423 patients were included. Among this group, 11 presented a Fosbury flop tear with a prevalence of 2.6%. Interobserver agreement was considered as excellent for thickened tendon, tendon stump, fluid accumulation, abnormal fibres orientationand adherences between tendon and bursa. The most sensitive and specific criterion was the tendon thickness[90.9% CI (62.3–98.4) and 97.1% CI (95.0–98.3), respectively].

Conclusions:
Fosbury flop tear is an uncommon condition that should be recognized to allow optimal anatomic repair. MRA is a valuable tool in making the diagnosing of this lesser recognized type of rotator cuff tear. An abnormally thickened supraspinatus tendon tear should especially raise suspicion for a Fosbury flop tear of the posterosuperior rotator cuff.

Advances in knowledge:
MRA is a valuable tool in making the diagnosing of Fosbury flop tears. An abnormally thickened supraspinatus tendon tear should especially raise suspicion for such lesion.

History of furniture in the rococo style
The architecture in this period finally loses all signs of monumentality and tectonics of form: there is no longer division by carrying and carried. Walls and ceilings are made into decorative planes dissected by various panels with a frame. Ornamental forms are asymmetric and always curvilinear; without being subject to any rules, they cover almost entirely the surface of walls and ceilings. The very walls, wood-paneled, are crumbled in choicest light blue, light green, pink and white colors, set off by a gilded ornamentation and hanged on with lots of mirrors in the lush frames.

Authors: Луцевич  , Lutsevich Anna 
Published: July 2017

The analysis of the status of authorized and unauthorized landfills of Bryansk is made. Near landfills oppression of herbaceous vegetation, damaging trees by necrosis and chlorosis, dieback,
bending trunks, overcrowding shoots, young leaves early yellowing, staining red veins is registered, as well as parts of plants burning and poisoning by toxic products of combustion due to frequent
fires. Distribution and the massive growth of eurytopic ruderal plants in landfills are observed. Simultaneously there is depression and extinction of unstable species of natural flora. In the process
of urbanization there is simplification of phytocenological structure and aging of zonal flora features.
To ensure proper environmental situation in the areas of solid waste landfills in Bryansk it is necessary to carry out restoration with the cultivation of plants that are resistant to the effects of
heavy metals, environmental pollution, which are relevant to environmental conditions of the Bryansk Region, site location, have a high capacity for gas, noise reduction, dust precipitation and
phytoncidal properties. It is advisable to plant trees, performing economic and safety, sanitation, landscaping and recreational functions. When selecting a range of grasses, trees and shrubs that can grow in contaminated soils, we offer to take into account the bioavailability of soil and location of
recultivated land, biological properties of plants, the purpose of the plantations, the complex and
features of preremediation.
Shareholder Protection and Agency Costs: An Experimental Analysis
Authors: LaRiviere Jacob , McMahon Matthew , Neilson William 
Published: July 2017

Two competing principal–agent models explain why firms pay dividends. The substitute model proposes that corporate insiders pay dividends to signal and build trust with outside shareholders who lack legal protection. The outcome model, in contrast, surmises that when shareholders have legal protection, they demand dividends from insiders to prevent them from expropriating corporate funds. Either way, dividends represent an agency cost paid to align the interests of shareholders and insiders. Expropriations by insiders and reduced investment by shareholders are also agency costs, but they are difficult to identify with archival data. Using a laboratory experiment, we identify the impact of strengthened shareholder protection on all three types of agency costs. Dividend payout ratios are five times larger with stronger investor protection, insider expropriation ratios are twice as high, and outsider investment falls by 45%. Thus, we find evidence that strengthening shareholder protection introduces previously unidentified agency costs into the insider–investor relationship.

Gender Quotas, Competitions, and Peer Review: Experimental Evidence on the Backlash Against Women
Authors: Leibbrandt Andreas , Wang Liang Choon , Foo Cordelia 
Published: July 2017

This study experimentally investigates gender quotas in light of peer review. We investigate competitions with and without gender quotas and a peer review process that allows for sabotage. Our findings show that the possibility of peer sabotage renders the gender quota ineffective in encouraging women to enter tournaments. Moreover, we provide evidence of a severe backlash against women, as they become targets of sabotage under gender quotas. Interestingly, this is the result of women focusing on sabotaging each other while men sabotage indiscriminately. Our results have implications for the use of quotas to mitigate the underrepresentation and underperformance of minority groups in environments in which peer sabotage is possible.

Arguments Used for Restricting International Real Property Transactions: Case Study of Latvia
Authors: Viesturs Jānis , Auziņš Armands , Štaube Tatjana 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
There is a wide range of factors - political, economic, legal, etc., which either limit or promote international real property transactions. It is considered that real property alienation to foreigners enhances foreign investment and economic development, however, some countries tend to limit such transactions. The current research provides a scientific view to reveal the reasons why certain countries impose different kinds of restrictions on international real property transactions. The objectives of this publication are: 1) to find out and analyse the existing arguments and reasons for limiting international real property transactions; 2) to determine the number and volume of international real property transactions in Latvia; 3) to identify the main argumentation for the current step and significant decline of international real property transactions in Latvia. Empirical analysis based on the review of scientific publications, statistical and comparative analysis of real property transactions are the main methods employed for this research.
Voltammetric Determination of Aclonifen at a Silver Amalgam Electrode in Drinking and River Water
Authors: Novotný Vít , Barek Jiří 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
A method for the determination of pesticide Aclonifen (AC) in drinking and river water by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) on a meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode (m-AgSAE) using solid phase extraction (SPE) as a cleanup and preconcentration procedure is described. The limit of detection (LOD) for direct DPV determination of AC in deionized water is 2.7·10-8 mol·dm-3. LOD for DPV determination of AC in tap water after SPE is 1.6·10-10 mol·dm-3, the recovery being 55%. LOD for the determination of AC in Vltava river water is 1.9·10-9 mol·dm-3, the recovery being 65%. Humic acids interfere with the determination in river water; this problem can be resolved by adjusting the pH of the extracted sample to 6. The advantages of this approach are high sensitivity, low LOD, quick and easy sample preparation and fast determination.
The Leader Programme as a Model of Institutional Transfer: Learning from Its Local Implementation in France and Lithuania
Authors: Chevalier Pascal , Mačiulyté Jurgita , Razafimahefa Lala , Dedeire Marc 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Between 2007 and 2013, the European Rural Development Policy targets were supported by the LEADER policy, an instrument that can be interpreted differently according to each country. Based on the examples of France and Lithuania, we studied the way in which the institutional organization of the device at local level helps to understand the stakeholders system and how adaptable it is to situations in each of the corresponding countries and project areas. A comparative approach, based on a joint methodology of investigation and analysis, was used on four project areas: Joniškis and Ignalina in Lithuania, and Gévaudan-Lozère and Pays Coeur d’Hérault in France. It shows that, in all cases, a form of “municipalization” of the LEADER programme, or at least a strong integration of the association sector, is dominant and seems to be established. Studying the network of stakeholders helps to identify the interknowledge as well as the interdependency relationships that lie at the heart of the system. The development of the “social capital of individuals” is often an entry point, if not a cornerstone, of the stakeholders system in place. Finally, it is through the analysis of the project selection process that we can truly grasp the characteristics of the new public action mode, in particular by studying the allocation of projects in these local areas.
Regional Ambassadors – An Innovative Element for the Development of Rural Areas?
Authors: Harfst Jörn , Pichler Patrick , Fischer Wolfgang 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Rural regions in Austria have been under increasing pressure for change in the last decades. On a regional level, varying development patterns of shrinkage and growth arise alongside economic, demographic and social parameters. In this paper, regional ambassador concepts will be explicated as a new instrument of regional development. Additionally, potential positive impacts of these approaches on the problems faced by rural, structurally weak regions will be highlighted. Notable advantages of these approaches are network and feedback effects between stakeholders. These, in turn, are capable of improving the economic and social situation in those regions. However, these measures require a high degree of control capacities which structurally weak areas often lack.

Published: July 2017

Abstract:This essay is based on interviews and participant-observation work with older residents forced to evacuate their homes after the 2004 Chūetsu-Niigata Earthquake, exploring how people tell stories about reconnecting with their hometowns after disaster and about long-term displacement. Specifically, the essay: 1) describes how a relationship developed between the residents and an outside ethnographer; 2) presents a regional outline of the village, describing its geography, population, history, and the aftermath of the 2004 earthquake;3) details the processes involved in the residents' displacement into temporary housing; and 4) explores the primary factors that influenced survivors in their decision to return to their hometown and restart their daily lives.
Hvordan Skildres Generisitet I Norsk Faglitteratur?
Authors: Kurek Anna 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
This paper aims to examine how genericity is described in the Norwegian specialised literature concerning Norwegian Bokmål. Genericity is a grammatical (and to some extent semantic) phenomenon that can be expressed in different ways. In Germanic languages, including Norwegian, genericity is expressed by the use of both definite and indefinite articles, as well as bare nouns. In Norwegian, all five noun forms (namely bare noun, indefinite and definite singular forms and indefinite and definite plural forms) can be used to express a generic reference. The choice of a given noun form depends mainly on the context and the verb phrase used in a sentence. The examined materials discuss the phenomenon in a rather cursory way. Examples presented in the analysed books are mainly artificial and/or translated from the world literature on the subject. Such approach to the problem shows the lack of corpus-based research on genericity in Norwegian, which can be an interesting area to work on.
The minimum moisture threshold for wood decay by basidiomycetes revisited. A review and modified pile experiments with Norway spruce and European beech decayed by Coniophora puteana and Trametes versicolor
Authors: Brischke Christian , Soetbeer Arved , Meyer-Veltrup Linda 
Published: July 2017

AbstractTo know the minimum moisture threshold (MMThr) in wood allowing for the initiation of the fungal decay by basidiomycetes is relevant both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. The present work summarizes the knowledge about MMThr and presents experimental data obtained by improved laboratory decay tests onPicea abies(Norway spruce) andFagus sylvatica(European beech) with the fungiConiophora puteanaandTrametes versicolorunder different exposure scenarios well suited for simulation in real applications. The three experimental set-ups, in which the pile tests play a pivotal role, differed in terms of external moisture supply and the inoculation strategies. It was confirmed that wood-destroying basidiomycetes are able to degrade wood at high relative humidity without any external source of available liquid water. The method of moistening the wood samples has an effect on the MMThr before initiation of the fungal decay, but different basidiomycetes were able to cause significant decay at moisture contents considerably below the fiber saturation point.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate cross-correlates of pocket-money on diet quality and weight status of Greek adolescents.MethodsA total of 172 adolescents (55.2% boys), aged between 10 and 15 years old were recruited. Body weight and height were measured, body mass index (BMI) was computed. Weight status was assessed according to the International Obesity Task Force criteria and diet quality was evaluated via the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) – 2010.ResultsAdolescents were allowed a mean allowance of €4.63 ± 3.66 daily. Among boys participants, BMI correlated with pocket money (r = 0.311, p ≤ 0.002) and normoweight boys received statistically less money than their overweight peers (p ≤ 0.019). In both sexes, normoweight was more prevalent in the lowest monetary quartiles. Pocket money was not associated with HEI. Among boys, moderate HEI was more prevalent in the third quartile of pocket money, significantly higher compared to all others (p ≤ 0.01 for all). For girls, the prevalence of moderate HEI declined by each ascending pocket money quartile (p ≤ 0.05 for all).ConclusionIn our sample, adolescents exhibited high rates of pooled overweight including obesity. The majority of the participants followed a diet of moderate quality. Pocket money was associated with BMI only among boys. As pocket money was not associated with diet quality, it is highly possible that adolescents might choose to spend their money on items other than foods. Our study shows that pocket money should be controlled during adolescence and teenagers should be educated on spending their money on healthier food choices.
The Israeli-Palestinian Separation Wall and the Assemblage Theory: The Case of the Weekly Rosary at the Icon of Our Lady of the Wall
Authors: Farinacci Elisa 
Published: July 2017

AbstractIn this work I analyse the ethnographic case study of the icon of Our Lady of the Wall as establishing a unique ritual landscape among the cement slabs of the Israeli-Palestinian Wall separating Jerusalem from Bethlehem. Although the Wall has been widely described as a technology of occupation on one side and as a device to ensure security on the other, through Latour’s concept of assemblages I unearth its agency in developing a Christian shrine. Through a decade of weekly recitations of the Rosary along the Wall near Checkpoint 300, the Elizabethan nuns of the Caritas Baby Hospital have been invoking Mary’s help to dismantle the Wall. This weekly ritual represents both political dissent against the bordering action enacted by the Wall, as well as giving visibility to the plea of the Palestinian Christian right to live in this territory in the face of their status as an ethnoreligious minority.
