Conceptual Advances in Consumers’ Semantic and Episodic Brand Memories: A Mixed Methods Exploration
Authors: Herz Marc , Brunk Katja H. 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTConsumers strongly rely on their memories and experiences during their decision‐making processes. Yet, despite empirical evidence that both semantic and episodic brand memories affect consumer behavior, literature on their distinction and differential impact is scarce. This empirical investigation seeks to reduce this imbalance by enhancing the understanding of these consumer knowledge structures. Using a mixed methods approach including a collage technique and one‐to‐one interviews (N = 118) consisting of open‐ended and closed‐ended (survey) elements and a subsequent content analysis, this research (1) explores differences in memory between brand users and nonusers, (2) evaluates the distinct impact of semantic and episodic memories on brand perceptions, and (3) presents a taxonomy of the principal domains of semantic and episodic brand memories and their implications for brand management. The article concludes by discussing theoretical, methodological, and managerial implications, as well as opening new avenues for future research directed at understanding and managing consumers’ semantic and episodic brand memories.

Published: December 2016

A photoinduced atom transfer radical polymerization (photoATRP) of methacrylates is investigated using air‐stable FeBr3 as catalyst in the absence of conventional ATRP initiators, additional ligands, reducing agents, and/or radical initiators. The ATRP alkyl halide initiator is formed in situ via photoreduction of FeBr3 by methacrylate monomers. The kinetics of the polymerization display a linear semilogarithmic plot after several hours of induction period. The molecular weight can be modulated by additions of different amounts of FeBr3, and polymers have narrow molecular weight distributions. Thus, FeBr3 acts as deactivator, as well as a source of activator FeBr2 and initiator. This method features a temporal control, and can provide various polymethacrylates with high chain end functionality.

AbstractBar‐headed goose (Anser indicus), a species endemic to Asia, has become one of the most popular species in recent years for rare bird breeding industries in several provinces of China. There has been no information on the gut metagenome configuration in both wild and artificially reared Bar‐headed geese, even though the importance of gut microbiome in vertebrate nutrient and energy metabolism, immune homeostasis and reproduction is widely acknowledged. In this study, metagenomic methods have been used to describe the microbial community structure and composition of functional genes associated with both wild and artificially reared Bar‐headed goose. Taxonomic analyses revealed that Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes were the four most abundant phyla in the gut of Bar‐headed geese. Bacteroidetes were significantly abundant in the artificially reared group compared to wild group. Through functional profiling, we found that artificially reared Bar‐headed geese had higher bacterial gene content related to carbohydrate transport and metabolism, energy metabolism and coenzyme transport, and metabolism. A comprehensive gene catalog of Bar‐headed geese metagenome was built, and the metabolism of carbohydrate, amino acid, nucleotide, and energy were found to be the four most abundant categories. These results create a baseline for future Bar‐headed goose microbiology research, and make an original contribution to the artificial rearing of this bird.
Evaluating global reanalysis precipitation datasets with rain gauge measurements in the Sudano‐Sahel region: case study of the Logone catchment, Lake Chad Basin

Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTAfrica has a paucity of long term reliable meteorological ground station data and reanalysis products are used to provide the climate estimations that are important for climate change projections. In this paper monthly observed precipitation records in the Logone catchment of the Lake Chad Basin are used to evaluate the performance of two global reanalysis products: the Climate Forecasting System Reanalysis (CFSR) and ERA Interim datasets.The two reanalysis products reproduced the monthly, annual and decadal cycle of precipitation and variability relatively accurately albeit with some discrepancies. The catchment rainfall gradient was also well captured by the two products. There are good correlations between the reanalysis and rain gauge datasets although significant deviations exist, especially for CFSR. Both reanalysis products overestimated rainfall in 68% of the rain gauge stations. ERA Interim produced the lowest bias and mean absolute error with average values of 2% and 6.5 mm month−1 respectively compared to 15% and 34 mm month−1 for the CFSR. However, both reanalysis products systematically underestimated annual rainfall in the catchment during the period 1997–2002 for ERA Interim and 1998–2000 for CFSR. This research demonstrates that evaluating reanalysis products in remote areas like the Logone catchment enables users to identify artefacts inherent in reanalysis datasets. This will facilitate improvements in certain aspects of the reanalysis forecast model physics and parameterization to improve reanalysis dataset quality.This study concludes that the application of each reanalysis product in the catchment will depend on the purpose for which it is to be used and the spatial scale required.

AbstractBackgroundCerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are vascular lesions of the central nervous system that can be found in sporadic or autosomal dominantly inherited forms and manifest with headaches, seizures, and hemorrhagic stroke. The precise proportion of de novo mutations in the CCM1, CCM2, and CCM3 genes remains unknown.MethodsWe here present a series of six trios with de novo mutations that have been analyzed by amplicon deep sequencing to differentiate between constitutional and postzygotic mutations.ResultsIn one case, allelic ratios clearly indicated mosaicism for a CCM3 splice site mutation found in blood and buccal mucosa of a 2‐year‐old boy with multiple CCMs. The remaining five de novo mutations proved to be constitutional. In addition to three CCM3, two CCM1, and one CCM2 de novo point mutations, a deletion of the entire CCM3 gene was identified in an index case that most likely originated from an early postzygotic event. These are the first high‐level mosaic mutations reported in blood samples of isolated CCM cases.ConclusionOur data demonstrate that de novo mutations in CCM1‐3 might be more frequent than previously thought. Furthermore, amplicon deep sequencing is useful to discriminate between patients with constitutional and postzygotic mutations, and thereby improves genetic counseling.

ABSTRACTIntroductionWe assessed motor unit (MU) properties and neuromuscular stability in the tibialis anterior (TA) of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) patients using decomposition‐based quantitative electromyography.MethodsDorsiflexion strength was assessed, and surface and concentric needle electromyography were sampled from the TA. Estimates of MU numbers were derived using decomposition‐based quantitative electromyography and spike‐triggered averaging. Neuromuscular transmission stability was assessed from concentric needle‐detected MU potentials.ResultsCIDP patients had 43% lower compound muscle action potential amplitude than controls, and despite near‐maximum voluntary activation, were 37% weaker. CIDP had 27% fewer functioning MUs in the TA, and had 90% and 44% higher jiggle and jitter values, respectively compared with controls.ConclusionsCIDP had lower strength and compound muscle action potential values, moderately fewer numbers of MUs, and significant neuromuscular instability compared with controls. Thus, in addition to muscle atrophy, voluntary weakness is also due to limitations of peripheral neural transmission consistent with demyelination. Muscle Nerve 56: 413–420, 2017
Exploring the potential of boronic acids as inhibitors of OXA‐24/40 β‐lactamase

Published: December 2016

Abstractβ‐lactam antibiotics are crucial to the management of bacterial infections in the medical community. Due to overuse and misuse, clinically significant bacteria are now resistant to many commercially available antibiotics. The most widespread resistance mechanism to β‐lactams is the expression of β‐lactamase enzymes. To overcome β‐lactamase mediated resistance, inhibitors were designed to inactivate these enzymes. However, current inhibitors (clavulanic acid, tazobactam, and sulbactam) for β‐lactamases also contain the characteristic β‐lactam ring, making them susceptible to resistance mechanisms employed by bacteria. This presents a critical need for novel, non‐β‐lactam inhibitors that can circumvent these resistance mechanisms. The carbapenem‐hydrolyzing class D β‐lactamases (CHDLs) are of particular concern, given that they efficiently hydrolyze potent carbapenem antibiotics. Unfortunately, these enzymes are not inhibited by clinically available β‐lactamase inhibitors, nor are they effectively inhibited by the newest, non‐β‐lactam inhibitor, avibactam. Boronic acids are known transition state analog inhibitors of class A and C β‐lactamases, and are not extensively characterized as inhibitors of class D β‐lactamases. Importantly, boronic acids provide a novel way to potentially inhibit class D β‐lactamases. Sixteen boronic acids were selected and tested for inhibition of the CHDL OXA‐24/40. Several compounds were identified as effective inhibitors of OXA‐24/40, with Ki values as low as 5 μM. The X‐ray crystal structures of OXA‐24/40 in complex with BA3, BA4, BA8, and BA16 were determined and revealed the importance of interactions with hydrophobic residues Tyr112 and Trp115. These boronic acids serve as progenitors in optimization efforts of a novel series of inhibitors for class D β‐lactamases.

Published: December 2016

AbstractBackgroundWe conducted a comparative analysis of the first domestically produced Chinese surgical robot, ‘MicroHand’, laparoscopic, and barehanded approaches in tying surgical knots.MethodsFour surgeons performed square or triple knots individually using the three approaches and documented the operational time, circumference, the bearable tension and action trajectory for each knot.ResultsMicroHand took more time than the barehanded method but nearly the same as with the laparoscope. The barehanded method generated the smallest knots among the three approaches and MicroHand produced smaller square knots than those by laparoscope. MicroHand and barehanded methods produced square knots displaying higher bearable tension than those produced by the laparoscope. For the action trajectory, MicroHand operated in a smaller space than that needed by the laparoscope.ConclusionsThe square knots produced by MicroHand were tighter and more solid than those by laparoscope, although the triple knots generated by the two methods were similar. Also MicroHand required a smaller operational space than the laparoscope.
The Effects of Academic Incubators on University Innovation
Authors: Kolympiris Christos , Klein Peter G. 
Published: December 2016

Research summaryIn this article, we analyze the impact of academic incubators on the quality of innovations produced by U.S. research‐intensive academic institutions. We show that establishing a university‐affiliated incubator is followed by a reduction in the quality of university innovations. The conclusion holds when we control for the endogeneity of the decision to establish an incubator using the presence of incubators at peer institutions as an instrument. We also document a reduction in licensing income following the establishment of an incubator. The results suggest that university incubators compete for resources with technology transfer offices and other campus programs and activities, such that the useful outputs they generate can be partially offset by reductions in innovation elsewhere.Managerial summaryDo university incubators drain resources from other university efforts to generate innovations with commercial relevance? Our analysis suggests that they do: after research‐intensive U.S. universities establish incubators, the quality of university innovations, which we measure with patents, drops. This finding has immediate implications for practice, as it suggests that the benefits and costs of incubation should not be analyzed in isolation. Rather, the effects of incubators extend to the overall innovation performance of the university. It follows that measuring the net economic effect of incubators is challenging because besides the effects on innovation efforts, the presence of an incubator may attract particular kinds of faculty and students, enhance the prestige of the university, generate economic multiplier effects, and benefit the community as a whole.

Published: December 2016

Purpose The study sought to assess the frequency and prognostic value of hyperattenuating adrenal glands on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans of surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients with acute clinical deterioration. Methods Eighty-eight consecutive ICU patients (63.2 ± 14.5 years of age) were included in this retrospective analysis. All patients underwent biphasic contrast-enhanced CT due to an acute clinical deterioration. Hyperattenuation of the adrenal glands was assessed subjectively and objectively. Subjective presence or absence of hyperattenuating adrenal glands was assessed by 2 blinded radiologists (J.B. and R.S.L.) in consensus. Hounsfield units (HU) were measured in the adrenal glands and in the inferior vena cava. Objective hyperattenuation was defined as HU (adrenal glands) > HU (inferior vena cava) with a 15-HU threshold. Death within 14 days following CT was set as endpoint and acquired from electronic patient data. Results Thirty-eight patients (43.2%, Group Asubj) exhibited hyperattenuation of the adrenal glands, whereas 50 patients (56.8%, Group Bsubj) did not. Concerning the objective analysis, 31 patients (35.2%, Group Aobj) exhibited hyperdense adrenal glands, whereas 53 patients (64.8%, Group Bobj) did not. Overall 27 of 88 patients (30.6%) died within 14 days following the CT examination. Lethal outcome was significantly more frequent among patients in Group Asubj and Aobj (19 of 38 patients [50.0%] and 15 of 31 patients [48.4%]) as compared with patients in Group Bsubj (8 of 50 patients [16.0%]) and Group Bobj (12 of 57 patients [21.1%]; P < .05). Subjective and objective analysis correlated significantly ( P < .05). Conclusions Hyperattenuation of adrenal glands on contrast-enhanced CT of ICU patients with acute clinical deterioration is associated with a high mortality and might serve as a prognostic marker for patients' outcome.
The importance and strategy of diabetes prevention
Authors: Shi Bing‐Yin 
Published: December 2016

AbstractDiabetes has become one of the largest public health problems to date. Decreased physical activity, overnutrition, and nutrition transitions caused by changes in lifestyle contribute to the increasing incidence of chronic metabolic diseases as well as deaths related to them. The shift from undernutrition to overnutrition indicates that chronic diseases of affluence have become a public health problem; hence, sustainable health‐related goals have been developed for the prevention of these diseases. Environmental factors and the gut microbiota influence metabolism in the human body. Several studies have proven that lifestyle interventions can effectively deter the progression of diabetes in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance. If the window of prevention is shifted earlier, diabetes may become a fortuitous event. Effective prevention needs high attention from the government and the participation of all citizens. Concrete scientific and reasonable measures also need to be developed by experts and scholars.

Abstract

Introduction
Health care professionals can play a pivotal role in promoting vulvovaginal health through assessment and appropriate intervention.

Aim
To develop and validate brief clinical measurements to facilitate the identification of vulvovaginal symptoms in patients with and survivors of cancer.

Methods
One hundred seventy-five women survivors of cancer attending a Female Sexual Medicine and Women's Health Program from September 26, 2012 through October 31, 2014 completed the Vaginal Assessment Scale (VAS) and the Vulvar Assessment Scale (VuAS)—a modified version of the VAS that targets vulvar symptoms. Pelvic examination results were recorded using a clinical examination checklist.

Main Outcome Measures
Internal consistency of the two scales was assessed using Cronbach α, and the correlation between scales and other outcomes was reported.

Results
The internal consistency measurements of the VAS and VuAS at the first visit were 0.70 and 0.68, which decreased to 0.53 and 0.66 at the last visit. The VAS composite and VuAS composite scores were moderately correlated with each other (0.42 and 0.45 at first and last visits, respectively). A strong correlation was observed between VAS pain with intercourse and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) pain with intercourse (−0.63 and −0.71 at the first and last visits, respectively). Worse pain with examination, worse functioning on the FSFI pain, lubrication, and total scores, and worse vulvar irritation were correlated with more severe symptoms on the VAS and VuAS.

Conclusion
The VAS and VuAS are simple tools that can be used by clinicians to assess health concerns in women diagnosed with and treated for cancer. Validation is needed across diverse settings and groups of women.

BACKGROUNDIn Canadian hospitals, clinical information is coded according to national coding standards and is routinely collected as administrative data. Administrative data may complement active surveillance programs by providing in-hospital MRSA infection data in a standardized and efficient manner, but only if infections are accurately captured.OBJECTIVETo assess the accuracy of administrative data regarding in-hospital bloodstream infections (BSIs) and all-body-site infections due to MRSA.METHODSA retrospective study of all (adult and pediatric) in-hospital MRSA infections was conducted by comparing administrative data against surveillance data from 217 acute Canadian hospitals (124 in Ontario, 93 in Alberta) over a 12-month period. Hospital-associated MRSA BSI cases in Ontario, and for all-body-site MRSA infections in Alberta were identified. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to compare the number of hospital-level MRSA cases within administrative versus surveillance datasets. The correlation of all-body-site MRSA infections versus MRSA BSIs was also assessed using the Ontario administrative data.RESULTSStrong correlations between hospital-level MRSA cases in administrative and surveillance datasets were identified for Ontario (r=0.79; 95% CI, 0.72–0.85) and Alberta (r=0.92; 95% CI, 0.88–0.94). A strong correlation between all-body-site and bloodstream-only MRSA infection rates was identified across Ontario hospitals (r=0.95; P<.0001; 95% CI, 0.93–0.96).CONCLUSIONSThis study provides good evidence of the comparability of administrative and surveillance datasets in identifying in-hospital MRSA infections. With standard definitions, administrative data can provide estimates of in-hospital infections for monitoring and/or comparisons across hospitals.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2017;38:436–443
Middle Cambrian trilobites from the Ekspedition Bræ Formation of North Greenland, with a reappraisal of the genusElrathina

Published: December 2016

AbstractThe richly fossiliferous Ekspedition Bræ Formation of North Greenland yields a typical oligospecific fossil assemblage with well-preserved trilobites, helcionelloids, and lingulate brachiopods. The trilobites includeItagnostus subhastatusnew species,Itagnostussp. cf.I.gaspensis(Rasetti, 1948),Elrathina aphroditenew species,Elrathina athenanew species,Elrathina heranew species, andElrathia groenlandicanew species—a fossil assemblage typical of theBathyuriscus-ElrathinaZone as known from the Cordilleran regions of Laurentia. Excellent preservation allows a detailed assessment of the prosopon and elucidates aspects of the ontogenetic development ofElrathinaandElrathia. An evaluation ofElrathinaincludes a redescription of its type species,E.cordillerae(Rominger, 1887), based on the type material, and indicates that most specimens collected from the Burgess Shale and previously dealt with asE.cordilleraerepresent a new species.
