Abstract

Background
While a large number of patients with eating disorders (EDs) engage in excessive exercise (EE), both for weight control and mood regulation, there has been minimal research evaluating the relationship between EE and demographic and psychological factors, especially in adolescent patients.

Purpose
The goals of this study were to identify the occurrence of EE compared to other ED behaviors and to develop a regression model examining psychological, behavioral and demographic predictors of EE among adolescents with EDs.

Methods
Demographic and clinical information was determined for 217 adolescent patients in several levels of care (126 outpatient, 61 day program, 28 inpatient) with diagnoses of anorexia nervosa (AN) (24.9%), bulimia nervosa (BN) (25.8%), and eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) (49.3%). These patients presented to a large ED program and completed a series of questionnaires on admission to the program. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, chi-square analyses and multiple logistic regression were utilized to describe the population of adolescent patients and develop the model for predicting EE.

Results
Forty-seven percent of patients indicated they participated in EE in the past 4 weeks, compared to 32% for binge eating, 35% for vomiting and 15% for laxative use; 42% of patients with anorexia nervosa participated in EE, compared to 54% with bulimia nervosa and 49% with EDNOS. The regression model that was developed to predict EE, which included factors of depression, anxiety, dietary restraint, age, body mass index (BMI), diagnosis and level of care, correctly classified EE in 71.5% of cases. Dietary restraint and BMI were the two factors found to be significantly associated with EE.

Conclusions
Forty-seven percent of adolescent patients presenting for treatment of an ED reported participating in EE. This was larger than the numbers of patients reporting other ED behaviors that are commonly assessed, indicating the need for psychoeducation for multidisciplinary treatment teams, assessment, prevention, and clinical treatment services for this problematic behavior. It is important that those who treat patients with ED assess for and monitor EE behaviors that can complicate the treatment.

Abstract
Our study focused on the perception of victims of rape and the relationship with the perception of social roles for gender among college students in southwest Nigeria using a 5-item gender social scale and a perception of victims of rape questionnaire. The study was done among 312 college students in Southwest Nigeria and explored the perception of victims of rape and gender social roles. The aim was to determine the relationship between perception of rape victims and view of gender social roles. We used a perception of rape victims questionnaire and a validated 5-item gender social roles scale to assess the views of participants. The findings revealed that females had better perception of victims of rape than males. Females also had more positive views of females’ social roles involving gender. However, there was poor perception on work-related social roles and the traditional concept of headship in the varied situations described on the 5-item gender social scale. Old stereotypes of typically blaming victims of rape were not common beliefs among college students. There were no significant correlations between perception of victims of rape and perception of gender social roles among college students. Seemingly, the perception of victims of rape does not have a significant relationship with the concept of gender social roles.
The Role of Prosody in the Identification of Persian Sentence Types: Declarative or Wh-question?
Authors: Shiamizadeh Zohreh , Caspers Johanneke , Schiller Niels O. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
It has been reported that prosody contributes to the identification of utterances which lack lexico-syntactic indicators of interrogativity but do have characteristic prosodic correlates (e.g. Vion and Colas 2006. Pitch cues for the recognition of yes-no questions in French. Journal of Psycholinguistics Research 35. 427–445). In Persian wh-in-situ questions, the interrogativity device (the wh-phrase) does not move to the sentence-initial position, and the pre-wh part is characterized by specific prosodic correlates (Shiamizadeh et al. 2016. Do Persian native speakers prosodically mark wh-in-situ questions? Manuscript submitted for publication). The current experiment investigates the role of prosody in the perception of Persian wh-in-situ questions as opposed to declaratives. To this end, an experiment was designed in which Persian native speakers were asked to choose the correct sentence type after hearing only the pre-wh part of a sentence. We hypothesized that prosody guides perception of wh-in-situ questions independent of wh-phrase type. The results of the experiment corroborate our hypothesis. The outcome is discussed in terms of Ohala´s frequency code, and Bolinger´s claim about the universal dichotomous association between relaxation and declarativity on the one hand and tension and interrogativity on the other hand.
Grasping Three Senses of the Notion “the Otherness of God” as the Grounds for Interreligious Toleration
Authors: Kiem Youngjin 
Published: August 2017

SummaryOn the issue of securing possible grounds for interreligious toleration, we are currently witnessing a prominent Christian view epitomized by the proposition that Christians should tolerate other religions because those religions are grounded in the otherness of God. For both Christians and non-Christians, employing the notion of God’s otherness to manifest the proper reason for tolerating other religions is a momentous venture. Unlike its appearance, however, the notion of God’s otherness envisaged and used in the context of interreligious toleration is liable to a serious predicament called the “toleration puzzle.” As a means of providing the remedy for the puzzle, in this paper I appeal for disambiguating the term “the otherness of God” and suggest three senses of it: “interior,” “exterior,” and “mediatory.” With this idea, I claim that when one employs the notion of God’s otherness in the context of grounding interreligious toleration, one should adopt the notion not in the single, one-sided sense but in the unified, three senses, especially placing value on the exterior and mediatory senses of the term. This proposal makes the Christian view that other religions are grounded in the otherness of God more acceptable.
Religious liberty as concept and reality. Two perspectives from Schillebeeckx and Nolan’s anthropologies
Authors: Simuţ Ramona 
Published: August 2017

SummaryThis paper is an analysis of two influential theologians who advocate the need for the Church as an institution to break with its tradition and set out on a journey of accommodation with the new realities of the world today. This journey proposed by Edward Schillebeeckx and Albert Nolan is panoramic since it investigates the possibility and necessity for the church to engage in a fair dialogue with society. At the end of this irregular trip into cohesion, this study will present the outcome of both Schillebeeckx and Nolan’ positions toward liberal theology as an alternative to dogmatism and political crisis. Therefore, the main objective of this study will be to facilitate a better understanding of the church and its tenets in its relationship with the oppressed and marginalized of the present times. The context in which Schillebeeckx and Nolan develop their respective theologies will be approached as two separate social realities of our present time, namely the Western culture and the African society. The aim is to determine the degree in which the liberty they both search for is taken into account by these two thinkers and how illustrative and relevant their perspective on church, God, history and suffering is for men and women living in nowadays eventful history.
Ferdinand de Saussure: La sémiologie et les sémiologies
Authors: Wunderli Peter 
Published: August 2017

Résumé
Ferdinand de Saussure postule une science générale des signes qu’il ap-pelle sémiologie. La langue n’en serait qu’un cas particulier caractériée par l’arbitrariété totale de ses unités. Cette caractéristique reviendrait aussi à l’écriture qui n’est cependant pas un systéme sémiologique primaire, mais un système secondaire dont la fonction est de représenter un système pri-maire (la langue). Il existe en outre des systèmes tertiaires comme, par example, l’alphabet Morse, l’écriture Braille, les systèmes de chiffrage, etc. Les modes de manifestation peuvent être soit acoustique soit visuel. Tandis que la langue et l’écriture sont totalement arbitraires, les autres systèmes sémiologiques peuvent être motivés jusqu’à un certain de-gré. À côté des sémiologies utilitaires il existe aussi des sémiologies esthé-tiques comme, par example, les légendes. La sémiologie elle-même n’est qu’un cas particulier de la sémiotique qui tient aussi compte des signes (ou indices) naturels. Les frontières entre langue, sémiologie et et sémiotique sont souvent flottantes et imprécises.

Abstract
Keen, ML, Miller, KC, and Zuhl, MN. Thermoregulatory and perceptual effects of a percooling garment worn underneath an American football uniform. J Strength Cond Res 31(11): 2983–2991, 2017—American football athletes are at the highest risk of developing exertional heat illness (EHI). We investigated whether percooling (i.e., cooling during exercise) garments affected perceptual or physiological variables in individuals exercising in the heat while wearing football uniforms. Twelve male participants (age = 24 ± 4 year, mass = 80.1 ± 8.5 kg, height = 182.5 ± 10.4 cm) completed this cross-over, counterbalanced study. On day 1, we measured peak oxygen consumption (V̇o
2). On days 2 and 3, participants wore percooling garments with (ICE) or without (CON) ice packs over the femoral and brachial arteries. They donned a football uniform and completed 3, 20-minute bouts of treadmill exercise at ∼50% of peak V̇o
2 (∼33° C, ∼42% relative humidity) followed by a 10-minute rest period. Ice packs were replaced every 20 minutes. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE), thermal sensation, and thirst sensation were measured before and after each exercise bout. Environmental symptoms questionnaire (ESQ) responses and urine specific gravity (Usg) were measured pretesting and after the last exercise bout. V̇o
2, change in heart rate (ΔHR), and change in rectal temperature (ΔTrec) were measured every 5 minutes. Sweat rate, sweat volume, and percent hypohydration were calculated. No interactions (F
17,187 ≤ 1.6, p ≥ 0.1) or main effect of cooling condition (F
1,11 ≤ 1.4, p ≥ 0.26) occurred for ΔTrec, ΔHR, thermal sensation, thirst, RPE, ESQ, or Usg. No differences between conditions occurred for sweat volume, sweat rate, or percent hypohydration (t
11 ≤ 0.7, p ≥ 0.25). V̇o
2 differed between conditions over time (F
15,165 = 3.3, p < 0.001); ICE was lower than CON at 30, 55, and 70 minutes (p ≤ 0.05). It is unlikely that these garments would prevent EHI or minimize dehydration in football athletes.

AbstractVlantes, TG and Readdy, T. Using microsensor technology to quantify match demands in collegiate women's volleyball.J Strength Cond Res31(12): 3266–3278, 2017—The purpose of this study was to quantify internal and external load demands of women's NCAA Division I collegiate volleyball competitions using microsensor technology and session rating of perceived exertion (S-RPE). Eleven collegiate volleyball players wore microsensor technology (Optimeye S5; Catapult Sports, Chicago, IL, USA) during 15 matches played throughout the 2016 season. Parameters examined include player load (PL), high impact PL, percentage of HI PL, explosive efforts (EEs), and jumps. Session rating of perceived exertion was collected 20 minutes postmatch using a modified Borg scale. The relationship between internal and external load was explored, comparing S-RPE data with the microsensor metrics (PL, HI PL, % HI PL, EEs, and jumps). The setter had the greatest mean PL and highest number of jumps of all positions in a 5-1 system, playing all 6 rotations. Playing 4 sets yielded a mean PL increase of 25.1% over 3 sets, whereas playing 5 sets showed a 31.0% increase in PL. A multivariate analysis of variance revealed significant differences (p< 0.01) across all position groups when examining % HI PL and jumps. Cohen'sdanalysis revealed large (≥0.8) effect sizes for these differences. Defensive specialists recorded the greatest mean S-RPE values over all 15 matches (886 ± 384.6). Establishing positional load demands allows coaches, trainers, and strength and conditioning professionals to implement training programs for position-specific demands, creating consistent peak performance, and reducing injury risk.

Abstract
Bond, CW, Willaert, EM, Rudningen, KE, and Noonan, BC. Reliability of three timing systems used to time short on ice-skating sprints in ice hockey players. J Strength Cond Res 31(12): 3279–3286, 2017—Speed and acceleration are highly valued in ice hockey and frequently assessed using timing systems. Coaches must use reliable timing systems to assess these attributes, but many systems have not been thoroughly evaluated and the required number of sprint repetitions to obtain the coach's desired degree of reliability for a system may be impractical. This study aimed to compare the reliability of a single photocell (PC), a single laser with a microprocessor (LA), and a digital video camera (VC); and in doing so, evaluate the influence of completing additional sprint repetitions on each systems' reliability. We hypothesized that PC and LA would yield different times, have inferior reliability, and require a larger number of sprint repetitions to obtain the same degree of reliability compared with VC. Seventeen male ice hockey players completed 5 repetitions of a 9.15 m on ice-skating sprint timed simultaneously by PC, LA, and VC. The times obtained from VC were narrowly distributed around the mean compared with PC and LA and resulted in a mean sprint time approximately 0.05 and 0.07 second faster than PC and LA, respectively {PC: 1.74 second (95% confidence interval [1.72–1.76]); LA: 1.76 second [1.74–1.78]; VC: 1.69 second [1.67–1.70]}. When 2 sprint repetitions were completed, PC and LA typical error (TE) and smallest worthwhile difference (SWD) were 2.8- and 4.3-fold greater than VC, respectively. As more repetitions were completed, TE and SWD for PC and LA improved but remained approximately 2-fold greater than VC even when 5 repetitions were completed. With a smaller TE and SWD, VC was able to detect smaller “real” changes in a player's sprint performance over time compared with PC and LA.
Transient Plane and Line Source Methods for Soil Thermal Conductivity
Authors: Yao Jun , Likos William J. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Experiments were conducted to compare two sensing techniques for measuring thermal conductivity of unsaturated soils: (i) a modified transient plane source (MTPS) method for non-destructive measurements using a planar, interfacial heat reflectance sensor, and (ii) a transient line source (TLS-SP) method utilizing an embedded single-probe heat source. Measurement protocols for coarse-grained and fine-grained soils were developed. Thermal conductivity dry-out curves (TCDCs) were measured for five soil types, including poorly graded sand, well-graded sand with silt, silty sand, silt, and clay. The MTPS sensor consistently produced higher thermal conductivity for degrees of saturation greater than about 50 % but lower thermal conductivity for saturations less than 50 %. Saturated thermal conductivity measured using the MTPS sensor ranged from 8 % to 26 % greater than values measured using the TLS-SP sensor. Dry thermal conductivity measurements were comparable (&lt;5 % difference) for fine-grained soils but were consistently and appreciably greater using the TLS-SP for coarse-grained soils. Mechanisms responsible for these differences include thermally induced water migration, latent heat transfer, sensor-soil contact resistance, gravity-induced water migration, and specimen heterogeneity. Secondary experiments indicated that the effects of gravity-induced water migration were insignificant within the short (&lt;5 min) time frame elapsed between sample preparation and measurement.
An Improved Predictive Model for Energy Estimation in Milling
Authors: Unnikrishnan Arun , Rao P. V. M. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The present research work was concerned with the development of an improved predictive model for energy estimation in the machining process. The need for a comprehensive predictive model which can account for generic cutting conditions together with all machine tool related factors was felt and has been attempted here. The proposed model was able to consider all influencing factors such as machine tool specific factors, axes configurations, acceleration effects of feed drives, and machine tool accessories. This component of energy from the machine tool was combined with the cutting energy estimated from cutting forces. This experimentally validated model can estimate energy consumption for any generic case directly from computer numerical control (CNC) programs or process plans. The newly developed model is used to study various machining situations to demonstrate its effectiveness.
Restoration of Motor Defects Caused by Loss ofDrosophilaTDP-43 by Expression of the Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel,Cacophony, in Central Neurons

Published: August 2017

Defects in the RNA-binding protein, TDP-43, are known to cause a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar dementia. A variety of experimental systems have shown that neurons are sensitive to TDP-43 expression levels, yet the specific functional defects resulting from TDP-43 dysregulation have not been well described. Using theDrosophilaTDP-43 ortholog TBPH, we previously showed that TBPH-null animals display locomotion defects as third instar larvae. Furthermore, loss of TBPH caused a reduction incacophony, a Type II voltage-gated calcium channel, expression and that genetically restoringcacophonyin motor neurons in TBPH mutant animals was sufficient to rescue the locomotion defects. In the present study, we examined the relative contributions of neuromuscular junction physiology and the motor program to the locomotion defects and identified subsets of neurons that requirecacophonyexpression to rescue the defects. At the neuromuscular junction, we showed mEPP amplitudes and frequency require TBPH.Cacophonyexpression in motor neurons rescued mEPP frequency but not mEPP amplitude. We also showed that TBPH mutants displayed reduced motor neuron bursting and coordination during crawling and restoringcacophonyselectively in two pairs of cells located in the brain, the AVM001b/2b neurons, also rescued the locomotion and motor defects, but not the defects in neuromuscular junction physiology. These results suggest that the behavioral defects associated with loss of TBPH throughout the nervous system can be associated with defects in a small number of genes in a limited number of central neurons, rather than peripheral defects.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTTDP-43 dysfunction is a common feature in neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal lobar dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. Loss- and gain-of-function models have shown that neurons are sensitive to TDP-43 expression levels, but the specific defects caused by TDP-43 loss of function have not been described in detail. ADrosophilaloss-of-function model displays pronounced locomotion defects that can be reversed by restoring the expression levels of a voltage-gated calcium channel,cacophony.We show these defects can be rescued by expression ofcacophonyin motor neurons and by expression in two pairs of neurons in the brain. These data suggest that loss of TDP-43 can disrupt the central circuitry of the CNS, opening up identification of alternative therapeutic targets for TDP-43 proteinopathies.
