A Spectral Approach to Transit Timing Variations
Authors: Ofir Aviv , Xie Ji-Wei , Jiang Chao-Feng , Sari Re’em , Aharonson Oded 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The high planetary multiplicity revealed by Kepler implies that transit timing variations (TTVs) are intrinsically common. The usual procedure for detecting these TTVs is biased to long-period, deep transit planets, whereas most transiting planets have short periods and shallow transits. Here we introduce the Spectral Approach technique to TTVs that allows expanding the TTV catalog toward lower TTV amplitude, shorter orbital period, and shallower transit depth. In the spectral approach, we assume that a sinusoidal TTV exists in the data and then calculate the improvement to χ
2 that this model allows over that of the linear-ephemeris model. This enables detection of TTVs even in cases where the transits are too shallow, so that individual transits cannot be timed. The spectral approach is more sensitive because it has fewer free parameters in its model. Using the spectral approach, we (a) detect 129 new periodic TTVs in Kepler data (an increase of ∼2/3 over a previous TTV catalog); (b) constrain the TTV periods of 34 long-period TTVs and reduce amplitude errors of known TTVs; and (c) identify cases of multi-periodic TTVs, for which absolute planetary mass determination may be possible. We further extend our analysis by using perturbation theory assuming a small TTV amplitude at the detection stage, which greatly speeds up our detection (to a level of few seconds per star). Our extended TTV sample shows no deficit of short-period or low-amplitude transits, in contrast to previous surveys, in which the detection schemes were significantly biased against such systems.

Abstract
GRB 170817A is the first short gamma-ray burst (GRB) with direct detection of the gravitational-wave radiation and also the spectroscopically identified macronova emission (i.e., AT 2017gfo). The prompt emission of this burst, however, is underluminous in comparison with the other short GRBs with known redshift. In this work, we examine whether GRB 170817A is indeed unique. We first show that GRB 130603B/macronova may be the on-axis “analogs” of GRB 170817A/AT 2017gfo, and the extremely dim but long-lasting afterglow emission of GRB 170817A may suggest a low number density (

) of its circumburst medium and a structured outflow. We then discuss whether GRB 070923, GRB 080121, GRB 090417A, GRB 111005A, and GRB 170817A form a new group of very nearby underluminous GRBs originated from neutron star mergers. If the short events GRB 070923, GRB 080121, and GRB 090417A are indeed at a redshift of

, respectively, their isotropic energies of the prompt emission are

erg and thus comparable to the other two events. The non-detection of optical counterparts of GRB 070923, GRB 080121, GRB 090417A, and GRB 111005A, however, strongly suggests that the macronovae from neutron star mergers are significantly diverse in luminosities or, alternatively, there is another origin channel (for instance, the white dwarf and black hole mergers). We finally suggest that GW170817/GRB 170817A are likely not alone and similar events will be detected by the upgraded/upcoming gravitational-wave detectors and the electromagnetic monitors.

Objective.Anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) have major diagnostic significance in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ACPA are directed against different citrullinated antigens, including filaggrin, fibrinogen, vimentin, and collagen. The presence of ACPA is associated with joint damage and extraarticular manifestations, suggesting that ACPA may have a significant role in the pathogenesis of RA.Methods.To verify the effect of ACPA on RA-immune cells, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP)–positive patients with RA and healthy controls were cocultured in vitro with ACPA. ACPA-positive stained cells were analyzed by flow cytometry and the effect of ACPA on mRNA expression levels was evaluated by real-time PCR. We tested whether the stimulatory effects induced by ACPA could be inhibited by the addition of a new multiepitope citrullinated peptide (Cit-ME).Results.We found that ACPA bind specifically to PBMC from CCP-positive patients with RA through the Fab portion. ACPA induce upregulation of pathogenic cytokine expression (4- to 13-fold increase) in PBMC derived from CCP-positive patients with RA. Moreover, ACPA upregulated IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA expression levels by 10- and 6-fold, respectively, compared to control IgG. Cit-ME, a genuine ligand of ACPA, inhibited the ACPA-induced upregulation of IL-1β and IL-6 by 30%.Conclusion.ACPA bind to a limited percentage of PBMC and upregulate inflammatory cytokine expression, suggesting that ACPA is involved in RA pathogenesis. Targeting ACPA to decrease their pathogenic effects might provide a novel direction in developing therapeutic strategies for RA.
Le règne de Louis XIV, ou la rupture définitive entre la société française et la monarchie
Authors: Bouveresse Jacques 
Published: January 2018

Le règne de Louis XIV, comme Janus, présente deux faces. La première de ces faces qui correspond au vingt-cinq premières années du règne est brillante et lumineuse. Tout s’ordonne autour du roi dans un bel ordonnancement classique. Louis XIV est le maître de la guerre et de la paix. Il est entouré d’une cour brillante où il n’y a pas que des courtisans mais aussi beaucoup d’hommes capables et compétents. À partir des années 1680 – et à cet égard la révocation de l’Édit de Nantes en 1685 est un bon indicateur – le climat général s’assombrit. Nous entrons dans la deuxième phase du règne qui nous montre sa face obscure et tourmentée. Ce qu’il faut remarquer c’est la coupure, la séparation définitive entre le roi et le Tiers État. Les écrivains et les publicistes de l’époque portent témoignage de ce divorce irréversible. Plus jamais la confiance ne se rétablira entre la monarchie et le peuple. Comme Paul Hazard le faisait déjà remarquer il y a près d’un siècle dans son ouvrage majeur sur La crise de la conscience européenne, la dynamique révolutionnaire n’a pas attendu le milieu du XVIIIe siècle pour se manifester, elle a monopolisé les esprits et les énergies dès la fin du XVIIe siècle en plein milieu du règne du Grand Roi.
L’exploitation de l’énergie nucléaire ou l’archétype de la modernité face au renouveau de la philosophie naturaliste
Authors: Clerc Olivier 
Published: January 2018

La philosophie moderne implique que l’Homme domine la Nature à laquelle il n’appartient pas et s’en extirpe à l’aide de la connaissance et de la technique. Ce développement unilatérale de la pensée moderne a été remis en question, aux États-Unis, dès le XIXe siècle, et se heurte, depuis les années 1970, à un renouveau de la philosophie naturaliste. Fondée sur la reconnaissance d’une valeur intrinsèque de la Nature et sur la dénonciation de l’utopie techno-scientifique, la philosophie naturaliste remet en cause le paradigme cartésien qui demeure au fondement de la « modernité réflexive » pour laquelle la question centrale n’est plus tant celle de la maîtrise de la Nature que celle de la maîtrise des risques et notamment du risque nucléaire. D’une part, les partisans de la philosophie naturaliste dénoncent les méthodes d’évaluation du risque nucléaire fondées sur une interprétation fréquentielle et sur un bilan « coûts-bénéfices » pour les seules sociétés humaines. Ils proposent au contraire d’ériger la Nature en sujet de droit afin d’établir les obligations que les Hommes ont envers elle. D’autre part, les penseurs naturalistes développent, au regard de « notre impuissance à maîtriser la puissance » technologique (H. Jonas), une éthique de la prudence. Ils recourent pour ce faire à une interprétation stricte du principe de précaution visant à s’abstenir de toute action présentant le risque le plus minime d’enclencher des événements fatals pour l’intégrité des écosystèmes.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy is the term applied to a spectrum of peripheral nerve disorders where immune dysregulation plays a role. Therefore, they are treatable. We analyzed the cases seen in the past 3 years by us and evaluated the clinical, laboratory, and outcome parameters in these patients. Patients and Methods: Consecutive patients seen by the authors and diagnosed as immune-mediated neuropathy were analyzed for etiology, pathology, and outcome assessed. Results: A total of sixty patients, 31 acute and 29 chronic neuropathies, were identified. Their subtypes treatment and outcome assessed. Males were significantly more in both acute and chronic cases. Miller Fisher 4, AMAN 1, paraplegic type 1, motor dominant type 19, Sensory-motor 1, MADSAM 3, Bifacial 2. Nonsystemic vasculitis was seen in 16 out of 29 chronic neuropathy and HIV, POEMS, and diabetes mellitus one each. Discussion: There is a spectrum of immune-mediated neuropathy which varies in clinical course, response to treatment, etc., Small percentage of uncommon cases are seen. In this group, mortality was nil and morbidity was minimal. Conclusion: Immune-mediated neuropathies are treatable and hence should be diagnosed early for good quality outcome.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Acute febrile encephalopathy (AFE) in children is a medical emergency and could be a manifestation of many systemic and central nervous system pathologies. The clinical features of AFE are nonspecific and etiological spectrum variable depending on the studied population. Materials and Methods: A prospective, observational study was carried out including children aged between 1 month and 12 years with AFE admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary care hospital in Western India. The primary objective was to assess the clinical presentation and etiology of AFE while the secondary objectives were to correlate the clinical and etiological findings and to determine the risk factors associated with mortality. Results: Out of the ninety children with AFE included in this study, male:female ratio was 1.2:1; most of them were aged between 1 and 5 years and came with a history of <7 days (82.2%). All of them had altered sensorium, about 2/3rd had seizures and 47.8% having a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) <8. Etiology remained elusive in about 40% of the cases, and viral infections were the most common among the ones with an identifiable cause. A variety of morbidity (shock, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, respiratory failure, etc.) and high mortality (40%) was observed with risk factors associated with mortality being GCS <8, the presence of raised intracranial pressure, shock, and respiratory failure. Conclusion: AFE, though a rare diagnosis in children, is associated with significant morbidity and high mortality in a developing country like India.
Van heinde en verre

Abstract
Ernest Claes is among the many interwar Flemish and Dutch writers who have gone down in history as so-called “storytellers” or “vertellers”. Although this concept is very often used to describe their authorship, its cultural-historical connotations have never been studied systematically. This article aims to fill this scientific lacuna by analyzing the relationship between narrative texts of the interwar period and the themes and techniques of the folk tradition of oral storytelling. Claes and two of his narrative texts function as representative case studies. To begin, the present paper zooms in on Claes’ views on the tradition of oral storytelling and links them with an essay on the same topic by Walter Benjamin, a contemporary of his. Next, two narrative texts by Claes are interpreted as literary revitalizations of the storytellers’ tradition and of its epistemic functions. The knowledge of storytellers, so the argument goes, exceeds the merely regional but also concerns the exotic.
Universals in possessive morphology
Authors: Van Baal Yvonne , Don Jan 
Published: January 2018

In this paper, we test the hypothesis that possessive pronouns have the same basic structure containing the genitive pronoun, plus, in some languages, some extra structure, as suggested by Caha (2009). In order to unravel the structure of these pronouns, we use the same logic applied by Caha (2009) and Bobaljik (2012) that excludes so-called ABA-patterns. If possessive pronouns are built on top of the genitive, we derive several predictions.First, we predict that there are languages in which the possessive pronoun comprises the genitive pronoun plus an extra affix (complex morphology). Furthermore, we predict that there are no possessive pronouns that have the same form as the accusative, or the nominative pronoun, to the exclusion of the genitive (*ABA). And thirdly, we expect that any syncretisms between possessives and other pronominal forms respect the proposed hierarchy in the sense that only structurally adjacent forms may be syncretic.Our data provide ample evidence for the claim that possessive pronouns are “bigger” structures than the accusative or ergative pronouns, suggesting that the possessives are indeed constructed from these structures. However, the data in our sample do not give crucial evidence for the claim that the possessives are more complex than the genitive. The data leave open the possibility that the genitive is in fact “bigger” than the possessive. Only in a few languages do we find ABA-patterns. We argue that these ABA-patterns are only apparent counterexamples to the proposed structure. Therefore, we conclude that there is broad typological evidence for the hypothesis that possessives are built from pronouns expressing a dependent (accusative/ergative) case.
Early Response to Warfarin Initiation and the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism After Total Joint Arthroplasty
Authors: Edelstein Adam I. , Terzaghi Clara , Nudelman Brandon , Qin Charles , Kwasny Mary , Manning David W. 
Published: January 2018

Background:
Venous thromboembolism chemoprophylaxis with warfarin is common after total joint arthroplasty. Early response to warfarin initiation has been theorized to engender a transient increase in the risk of venous thromboembolism. We hypothesized that a rapid rise in the international normalized ratio is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism after total joint arthroplasty.

Methods:
This study was a retrospective analysis of Medicare patients undergoing elective total joint arthroplasty who were given nomogram-dosed warfarin for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between the postoperative rate of change in the international normalized ratio and the occurrence of symptomatic venous thromboembolism within 30 days postoperatively.

Results:
The study included 948 patients (715 total knee arthroplasty, 233 total hip arthroplasty), of whom 4.4% experienced symptomatic venous thromboembolism within 30 days postoperatively. The change in the international normalized ratio from postoperative day 1 to postoperative day 2 was significantly greater in the symptomatic venous thromboembolism group compared with the group that did not have venous thromboembolism (increase of 0.70 versus 0.46; P = 0.008). Regression analysis showed that a higher rate of change in the international normalized ratio was associated with increased risk of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (odds ratio, 2.59 per unit of change in the international normalized ratio; 95% confidence interval, 1.51-4.38; P = 0.001).

Conclusion:
A rapid rise in the international normalized ratio after warfarin initiation in total joint arthroplasty patients is associated with increased risk of symptomatic venous thromboembolism. This novel finding identifies a population at risk for this complication. Further study of the early effects of warfarin therapy is warranted.

Authors: Tahal Radek 
Published: January 2018

One of the effective tools in marketing communication is connecting a company brand with a well known person. Such celebrity is then called brand ambassador. This paper presents the analysis of the representative marketing survey which aimed at identifying the best known Czech sports celebrities. The research is being conducted as a tracking one. That´s why this study compares familiarity and popularity of Czech sportspersons before and after the Olympic Games in Sochi. The respondents were also asked in what extent they want the celebrity to be medialized in the future. The research also brings data for creating a perception map that is based on the methodology known as “Need Scope”. This method puts forward the layout of the emotional attributes that respondents correlate with the celebrity. All these characteristics can be successfully used when matching the celebrity with the most adequate brand.
Srdcová frekvencia v odozve na herné zaťaženie v basketbale žien
Authors: Vencúrik Tomáš 
Published: January 2018

The study compares intensity of game load among individual players’ positions and between first and second half. Ten female basketball players in senior category participated in this study. Four intensity zones were determined based on maximal heart rate (HRmax). Telemetric device Suunto Team Pack was used for monitoring the heart rate (HR) during the games. The mean HR during the games reached 88.1±3.9% of HRmax of total time. When we compared players’ positions in individual intensity zones we did not record statistical (p>0.05) nor practical significance and neither in % of HRmax (87.4±3.6 vs. 87.8±4.6 vs. 88.8±3.5; point guard vs. forward vs. center). Moreover, when we compared the 1st and the 2nd half in individual zones and in % of HRmax (87.7±4.1 vs. 88.5±3.7) we also did not record any statistical significance (p>0.05) and effect size coefficient shows small effect. Players spent 76.3% of total time with HR grater than 85% of HRmax. The results indicate high physiological demands on female basketball players during the games without taking into consideration the player’s position. This information can be useful for planning and managing training process as well as for comparison with training load. In similar future research we recommend to also evaluate the time-motion analysis besides the internal response and thus a more detailed look at the examined subject in question may be reached.

The objective of the present thesis is to examine the effect of the seven-day training camp in the altitude of 1,880 meters above sea level on functional and biochemical changes of the organism of young sportspersons. The thesis is a pilot study. The research was conducted on n = 6 (including 2 girls), age = 17,33 ± 2,36, all of them belonging to the youth sports elite within the Czech Republic. We have observed the dynamics of changes of morning resting heart rate, selected parameters of blood count (amount of erythrocytes, haemoglobin and haematocrites) and level of the anaerobic threshold. The measurements were performed 2 days prior departure, 2 days after return and 10 days after return from the higher above-sea-level altitude. The morning resting heart rate was measured by the probands during the course of 17 days before the camp and during the course of 14 days after returning from the camp. In the scope of the research, we have arrived at the following results: the resting heart rate as measured before departure was reduced by 2.44% 10 days after returning from the camp (it increased by 7.32% during the stay in the camp), the amount of erythrocytes increased by 1.2%, that of haemoglobin increased by 1.5% and that of haematocrites increased by 1.6%, level of the anaerobic threshold was improved by 11 seconds (by 4.6%). Most probably, the weekly stay is too short; the effect of a shortened camp is not parallel to a training that lasts 21–28 days; however, the above change of level of the anaerobic threshold is statistically and substantively significant. Changes in blood values are not statistically significant, substantive significance shows a small to moderate effect.
Kořeny a současnost sportovního kaplanství
Authors: Bednář Miloš , Crossan William 
Published: January 2018

The main objective of this article is to introduce the phenomena of chaplaincy to the Czech sports context. Chaplaincy has helped shape the character of athletes and aided them in resolving their personal problems for several decades, especially in the Anglo-Saxon world. Another intention is to illustrate the importance of the comprehensive development of athletes, including the spiritual component. The authors first conduct a broad examination of the profession of chaplaincy from areas which have already been established in the Czech Republic – the hospital, military and university environments. Then within the realm of sports chaplaincy analysis is carried out on the experience from the Anglo-Saxon world of sports, where the specific profession is the most developed and has the longest tradition. In the conclusion, two core sport chaplaincy models are illustrated with emphasis on the applicability of international experience to the Czech sport context.

The aim of our study was the measurement of selected anthropometric variables, respectively determining somatotype, body composition analysis of students Military Department (MD) at UK FTVS in Prague and compared to similar studies. The group consisted of 22 probands, men ranging in age from 19–27 years (mean age = 22,9 ± 2,6 years, height = 179,9 ± 6,0 cm, weight = 76,8 ± 7,0 kg, BMI = 23,8 ± 1,5 kg.m–2). In terms of measured average somatotype (1,7 – 7,3 – 2,5), the students MD have very good preconditions for general physical fitness. We used BIA-Tanita MC 980 for the body composition analysis (whole body and segmental analysis). The students MD showed a high proportion of lean body mass (70,5 ± 6,1 kg) and low proportion of fat mass (8,3 ± 3,0 %). The authors emphasize the importance of monitoring and other parameters of body composition, e.g. total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), intracellular water (ICW), segmental analysis of muscle mass and body fat.

Hypermobility is still a neglected cause of pain and musculoskeletal injuries, it is also a predisposing factor for a variety of musculoskeletal disorders – functional or structural. Hypermobility is a sign of reduced quality of connective tissue – ligamentous increased laxity. In examination we cannot ignore the importance of the athlete’s history, examination by sight and knowledge of specific tests. The results of the tests can help us to design an adequate exercise program.
