Met Éireann high resolution reanalysis for Ireland
Authors: Gleeson Emily , Whelan Eoin , Hanley John 
Published: March 2017

Abstract. The Irish Meteorological Service, Met Éireann, has carried out a 35-year very high resolution (2.5 km horizontal grid) regional climate reanalysis for Ireland using the ALADIN-HIRLAM numerical weather prediction system. This article provides an overview of the reanalysis, called MÉRA, as well as a preliminary analysis of surface parameters including screen level temperature, 10 m wind speeds, mean sea-level pressure (MSLP), soil temperatures, soil moisture and 24 h rainfall accumulations. The quality of the 3-D variational data assimilation used in the reanalysis is also assessed. Preliminary analysis shows that it takes almost 12 months to spin up the deep soil in terms of moisture, justifying the choice of running year-long spin up periods. Overall, the model performed consistently over the time period. Small biases were found in screen-level temperatures (less than −0.5 °C), MSLP (within 0.5 hPa) and 10 m wind speed (up to 0.5 m s−1) Soil temperatures are well represented by the model. 24 h accumulations of precipitation generally exhibit a small positive bias of  ∼ 1 mm per day and negative biases over mountains due to a mismatch between the model orography and the geography of the region. MÉRA outperforms the ERA-Interim reanalysis, particularly in terms of standard deviations in screen-level temperatures and surface winds. This dataset is the first of its kind for Ireland that will be made publically available during spring 2017.
A produção de sentidos num contexto de aproximação entre arte e vida
Authors: Silva Luzia Renata da 
Published: March 2017

O desenvolvimento desse texto desenvolve-se a partir do desejo de pensar a prática artística relacionada à propostas pedagógicas transformadoras. A partir desse interesse, problematiza-se alguns artistas que transformaram seus campos, contextos e formas de atuação por não filiarem-se a ideia de arte tradicionalmente aceita. Por consequência, a reflexão formulada reflete sobre a importância que o educador Rudolf Steiner teve na constituição e na visão de arte de Joseph Beuys e os possíveis desdobramentos do pensamento desse artista na atuação do professor artista José Luiz Kinceler que, na lida com a arte, propôs ações transformadoras em um contexto de ensino de arte.

Forma, informe, formação: considerações sobre o saber morfológico em Georges Didi-Huberman
Authors: Anglada Carolina 
Published: March 2017

O teórico francês Georges Didi-Huberman desenvolve um campo lexical que atrela a ideia de imagem à forma, à plasticidade, ao ritmo e à força de sua aparição. Todo um vocabulário morfológico é desenvolvido a partir da observação tanto de espécies animais, como as falenas, quanto do reino vegetal, e mesmo de obras artísticas teoricamente destituídas de dinamismo, como as do minimalismo. Diante da extrema variabilidade de matérias sobre as quais a teoria didi-hubermaniana se detém, o presente artigo visa investigar as condições em que a noção de forma se apresenta como operador conceitual, de modo a compreender os outros paradigmas da arte que o crítico francês elabora, apoiado em uma reformulação do conceito.

AbstractIntroduction: Globally adolescents and young adults account for more than 40% of new HIV infections, and HIV‐related deaths amongst adolescents increased by 50% from 2005 to 2012. Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical to control viral replication and preserve health; however, there is a paucity of research on adherence amongst the growing population of adolescents living with HIV/AIDS (ALHIV) in Southern Africa. We examined levels of self‐reported ART adherence, barriers to adherence, and factors associated with non‐adherence amongst ALHIV in Malawi.Methods: Cross‐sectional study of 519 ALHIV (12–18 years) attending two large HIV clinics in central and south‐eastern Malawi. Participants self‐reported missed doses (past week/month), barriers to adherence, and completed questionnaires on past traumatic events/stressors, disclosure, depression, substance use, treatment self‐efficacy, and social support. Biomedical data were retrieved from existing medical records. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors independently associated with self‐reported ART adherence (7 day recall).Results: The mean age of participants (SD) was 14.5 (2) years and 290 (56%) were female. Of the 519 participants, 153 (30%) reported having missed ART doses within the past week, and 234 (45%) in the past month. Commonly reported barriers to adherence included forgetting (39%), travel from home (14%), busy with other things (11%), feeling depressed/overwhelmed (6%), feeling stigmatized by people outside (5%) and within the home (3%). Factors found to be independently associated with missing a dose in the past week were drinking alcohol in the past month (OR 4.96, 95% CI [1.41–17.4]), missed clinic appointment in the past 6 months (OR 2.23, 95% CI [1.43–3.49]), witnessed or experienced violence in the home (OR 1.86, 95% CI [1.08–3.21]), and poor treatment self‐efficacy (OR 1.55 95% CI [1.02–2.34]). Sex and age were not associated with adherence.Conclusions: In our study, nearly half of all ALHIV reported non‐adherence to ART in the past month. Violence in the home or alcohol use in the past year as well as poor treatment self‐efficacy were associated with worse adherence. Sub‐optimal adherence is a major issue for ALHIV and compromise treatment outcomes. Programmes specifically tailored to address those challenges most pertinent to ALHIV may help improve adherence to ART.
Organization and Delivery of Scholarly Communications Services by Academic and Research Libraries in the United Kingdom: Observations from Across the Pond
Authors: Fruin Christine 
Published: March 2017

INTRODUCTION The U.K. library community has implemented collaborative strategies in key scholarly communication areas such as open access mandate compliance, and U.S. librarians could benefit from learning in greater detail about the practices and experiences of U.K. libraries with respect to how they have organized scholarly communication services. METHODS In order to better understand the scholarly communication activities in U.K. academic and research libraries, and how U.S. libraries could apply that experience in the context of their own priorities, an environmental scan via a survey of U.K. research libraries and in-person interviews were conducted. RESULTS U.K. libraries concentrate their scholarly communication services on supporting compliance with open access mandates and in the development of new services that reflect libraries’ shifting role from information consumer to information producer. DISCUSSION Due to the difference in the requirements of open access mandates in the U.K. as compared to the U.S., scholarly communication services in the U.K. are more focused on supporting compliance efforts. U.S. libraries engage more actively in providing copyright education and consultation than U.K. libraries. Both U.K. and U.S. libraries have developed new services in the areas of research data management and library publishing. CONCLUSION There are three primary takeaways from the experience of U.K. scholarly communication practitioners for U.S. librarians: increase collaboration with offices of research, reconsider current organization and delegation of scholarly communication services, and increase involvement in legislative and policy-making activity in the U.S. with respect to access to research.
Heavier birth weight associated with taller height but not age at menarche in US women born 1991‐1998
Authors: Workman Megan , Kelly Karina 
Published: March 2017

AbstractObjectivesHeavier birth weight predicts taller adult height, but it remains unknown the extent to which this additional height increment results from a faster average growth rate versus an extension of the growth period. Aiming to distinguish these effects, this study examined associations between birth weight (BW), age at menarche (an established proxy for growth duration), and near‐adult height in a cohort of US young women born in the 1990s.MethodsMultiple regression evaluated age‐adjusted height as an outcome of BW, age at menarche, indicators of family socioeconomic status, and other potential confounders in a sample of US teens who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2007 and 2012 (N = 342). Relevant interactions were also evaluated.ResultsMean ± SD was 11.9 ± 1.2 years and 3262 ± 592 g for age at menarche and BW, respectively. BW did not predict age at menarche (β = –.01, p = .838). Girls were 1.3 cm taller per year delay in menarche (p < .001) and 2.9 cm taller per 1 kg increase in BW (p < .001). Additionally, the greatest gain in height associated with delayed menarche was observed among the heaviest BW quartile.ConclusionsGirls born heavier were taller but experienced menarche at similar ages to girls born lighter. To the extent that age at menarche reflected growth duration, these results demonstrate faster average growth among heavier‐born girls. Consistent with fetal programming of average growth rate, these results held after adjustment for confounders of postnatal growth like family socioeconomic status.
Old before your time: Ancient carbon incorporation in contemporary aquatic foodwebs
Authors: Guillemette François , Bianchi Thomas S. , Spencer Robert G. M. 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe current paradigm in trophic dynamic theory is that organisms will gain more energy from fresh, “young” organic materials because they contain the essential elements and chemical characteristics for enhancing growth, unlike more aged and thus conceptually degraded resources. However, a growing body of recent literature is raising exceptions to this resource‐age paradigm and highlights that organisms present in diverse aquatic settings in fact incorporate old organic carbon into their biomass. This shift in resource utilization has the potential to alter foodweb stability, structure, and dynamics, but has yet to be integrated into ecological studies and conceptual frameworks. In this review, we first outline a number of recent studies providing direct evidence of the transport and incorporation of old organic carbon in aquatic food webs, and then discuss the ecological implications of this changing view in resource utilization. We ultimately highlight future research avenues that will provide new insights into the response of aquatic foodwebs to the increased mobilization and delivery of old organic carbon to aquatic settings following anthropogenic perturbations and ongoing climatic change.
The euphotic zone under Arctic Ocean sea ice: Vertical extents and seasonal trends
Authors: Laney Samuel R. , Krishfield Richard A. , Toole John. M. 
Published: March 2017

AbstractEight Ice‐Tethered Profilers were deployed in the Arctic Ocean between 2011 and 2013 to measure vertical distributions of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and other bio‐optical properties in ice‐covered water columns, multiple times a day over periods of up to a year. With the radiometers used on these profilers, PAR could be measured to depths of only ∼20–40 m in the central Arctic in late summer under sea ice ∼1 m thick. At lower latitudes in the Beaufort Gyre, late summer PAR was measurable under ice to depths exceeding 125 m. The maximum depths of measurable PAR followed seasonal trends in insolation, with isolumes shoaling in the fall as solar elevation decreased and deepening in spring and early summer after insolation resumed and sea ice diminished. PAR intensities were often anomalously low above 20 m, likely due to a shading effect associated with local horizontal heterogeneity in light transmittance by the overlying sea ice. A model was developed to parameterize these complex vertical PAR distributions to improve estimates of the water column diffuse attenuation coefficient and other related parameters. Such a model is necessary to separate the effect of surface ice heterogeneity on under‐ice PAR profiles from that of the water column itself, so that euphotic zone depth in ice‐covered water columns can be computed using canonical metrics such as the 1% light level. Water column diffuse attenuation coefficients derived from such autonomously‐collected PAR profile data, using this model, agreed favorably with values determined manually in complementary studies.
Transformation of humic substances by the freshwater Ascomycete Cladosporium sp.

Published: March 2017

AbstractThe ecological relevance of fungi in freshwater ecosystems is becoming increasingly evident, particularly in processing the extensive amounts of polymeric organic carbon such as cellulose, chitin, and humic substances (HS). We isolated several fungal strains from oligo‐mesotrophic Lake Stechlin, Brandenburg, Germany, and analyzed their ability to degrade polymeric‐like substrates. Using liquid chromatography‐organic carbon detection, we determined the byproducts of HS transformation by the freshwater fungus Cladosporium sp. KR14. We demonstrate the ability of this fungus to degrade and simultaneously synthesize HS, and that transformation processes were intensified when iron, as indicator of the occurrence of Fenton reactions, was present in the medium. Furthermore, we showed that structural complexity of the HS produced changed with the availability of other polymeric substances in the medium. Our study highlights the contribution of freshwater Ascomycetes to the transformation of complex organic compounds. As such, it has important implications for understanding the ecological contribution of fungi to aquatic food webs and related biogeochemical cycles.

ObjectiveThis study was conducted to investigate and clinically assess comorbid depression and its relevance in individuals suffering from gambling disorders. The DSM-V defines the condition of gambling disorder as a persistent and recurrent problematic gambling behaviour leading to clinically significant impairment or distress.MethodA total of 61 subjects with gambling disorders were assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV (SCID-I), the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) and the Major Depression inventory (MDI).ResultsTwo-way analysis of variance showed highly significant treatment outcomes associated with reductions in SOGS,F(1,60)=84.79,p<0.0001, MDI,F(1,60)=38.13,p<0.0001, craving,F(1,60)=29.59,p<0.0001, and gambling control, 47.65,p<0.0001. There was also a highly significant outcome associated with comorbidity in MDI,F(1,60)=9.17,p<0.0001. Finally, there was a significant interaction effect between treatment outcome and comorbidity,F(1,60)=3.90,p<0.005, suggesting that both treatment and comorbidity contributed to reductions in depressive symptoms.ConclusionThese results suggest and highlights the importance and benefits of integrated treatment of gambling disorders and its comorbidity, but also stresses the importance of adequate screening and detection of these two variables.
A retrospective analysis of a societal experiment among the Danish population suggests that exposure to extra doses of vitamin A during fetal development may lower type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk later in life

AbstractVitamin A deficiency has been associated with impaired fetal pancreatic development and increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In 1962, mandatory margarine fortification with vitamin A was increased by 25 % in Denmark. We aimed to determine whether offspring of mothers who had been exposed to the extra vitamin A from fortification during pregnancy had a lower risk of developing T2DM in adult life, compared with offspring of mothers exposed to less vitamin A. Individuals from birth cohorts with the higher prenatal vitamin A exposure (born 1 December 1962–31 March 1964) and those with lower prenatal exposure (born 1 September 1959–31 December 1960) were followed up with regard to development of T2DM before 31 December 2012 in the Danish National Diabetes Registry and National Patient Register. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the risk of T2DM by vitamin A exposure level. A total of 193 803 individuals were followed up until midlife. Our results showed that individuals exposed prenatally to extra vitamin A from fortified margarine had a lower risk of developing T2DM than those exposed to lower levels: OR 0·88; 95 % CI 0·81, 0·95, P=0·001, after adjustment for sex. Fetal exposure to small, extra amounts of vitamin A from food fortification may reduce the risk of T2DM. These results may have public health relevance, as they demonstrate that one of the most costly chronic diseases may be prevented by food fortification – a simple and affordable public health nutrition intervention.
SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS OF ECONOMIC EVALUATIONS: HOW EXTENSIVE ARE THEIR SEARCHES?
Authors: Wood Hannah , Arber Mick , Glanville Julie M. 
Published: March 2017

Objectives: Economic evaluation (EE) is an accepted element of decision making and priority setting in healthcare. As the number of published EEs grows, so does the number of systematic reviews (SRs) of EEs. Although search methodology makes an important contribution to SR quality, search methods in reviews of EEs have not been evaluated in detail. We investigated the resources used to identify studies in recent, published SRs of EEs, and assessed whether the resources reflected recommendations.Methods: We searched MEDLINE for SRs of EEs published since January 2013 and extracted the following from eligible reviews: databases searched, health technology assessment (HTA) sources searched, supplementary search techniques used. Results were compared against the minimum search resources recommended by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) (MEDLINE, Embase, NHS EED, EconLit) for economic evidence for single technology appraisals, and resource types suggested in the summary of current best evidence from SuRe Info (economic databases, general databases, HTA databases, HTA agency Web pages, gray literature).Results: Sixty-five SRs met the inclusion criteria; data were extracted from forty-two. Five reviews (12 percent) met or exceeded the NICE recommended resources. Nine reviews (21 percent) searched at least four of the five types of resource recommended by SuRe Info. Five reviews (12 percent) searched all five. Twenty-three reviews (55 percent) did not meet the NICE recommendations or four of five of the SuRe Info recommended resource types. Search reporting was frequently unclear or incorrect.Conclusions: Searches conducted for the majority of recently published SRs of EEs do not meet two published approaches.
TWO FRAGMENTS OF AN ANCIENT MANTIC MANUSCRIPT IN SAN BARTOLO YAUTEPEC, OAXACA
Authors: van Doesburg Sebastián , Urcid Javier 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe unexpected discovery of two reused fragments of an ancient mantic manuscript in Oaxaca casts new insights on scribal and divinatory practices at the eve of the Spanish conquest. This paper describes, analyzes, and interprets the faded inscriptions in the two fragments, comparing the structure of the calendrical notations and the painted imagery with those written on the handful of extant pre-Hispanic screenfolds. Although certain patterns allow us to posit the possible relationship between the fragments, other seeming deviations in the reckonings of the divinatory calendar lead us to conclude that the manuscript from which the two fragments originate evinces a distinct scribal and mantic regional variant.
Mapping fish community biodiversity for European marine policy requirements

Published: March 2017

Abstract
Predictive maps of biodiversity patterns are pivotal to marine conservation and marine spatial planning alike, yet mapping of biodiversity indicators at the community-level is neither straightforward nor well-tested empirically. Two principle approaches exist. A direct approach involves calculation of indices for each sample, followed by interpolation to estimate values at unsampled locations. An indirect approach first interpolates individual species distributions and then determines indices based on the stacked distribution maps. We compared the appropriateness of both approaches to provide management-relevant information by mapping the distribution of demersal fish biodiversity in the German North Sea Exclusive Economic Zone using species richness, Hill’s N1 and a novel traits-based community sensitivity to fishing index (CSI). To substitute zero-inflated species with up to 95% zeros in the sample data, we applied each species’ mean abundance value as a flat surface. Spatial patterns between indicators varied, but certain hot- and cold-spots were revealed, which, under current legislation, might suggest that the present level of biodiversity protection is insufficient. Despite both approaches generating similar main patterns, the direct approach predicted a narrower range of index values and only depicted the most dominant patterns. Contrary to that the indirect approach better reproduced the variability in the data, along with additional information on species distributions and a theoretical advantage pertaining to sampling issues. Although the choice over the mapping approach is context dependent, for our study area featuring a community with relatively few species, we consider the indirect approach to provide the more reliable information for implementing marine environmental legislation.

Published: March 2017

AbstractThe GFP-based superecliptic pHluorin (SEP) enables detection of exocytosis and endocytosis, but its performance has not been duplicated in red fluorescent protein scaffolds. Here we describe ‘semisynthetic’ pH-sensitive protein conjugates that match the properties of SEP. Conjugation to genetically encoded self-labeling tags or antibodies allows visualization of both exocytosis and endocytosis, constituting new bright sensors for these key steps of synaptic transmission.
