Authors: Linnen Catherine R. , O’Quin Claire T. , Shackleford Taylor , Sears Connor R. , Lindstedt Carita 
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACTPigmentation has emerged as a premier model for understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic evolution, and a growing catalog of color loci is starting to reveal biases in the mutations, genes, and genetic architectures underlying color variation in the wild. However, existing studies have sampled a limited subset of taxa, color traits, and developmental stages. To expand our sample of color loci, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping analyses on two types of larval pigmentation traits that vary among populations of the redheaded pine sawfly (Neodiprion lecontei): carotenoid-based yellow body color and melanin-based spotting pattern. For both traits, our QTL models explained a substantial proportion of phenotypic variation and suggested a genetic architecture that is neither monogenic nor highly polygenic. Additionally, we used our linkage map to anchor the currentN. leconteigenome assembly. With these data, we identified promising candidate genes underlying: (1) a loss of yellow pigmentation in Mid-Atlantic/northeastern populations (Cameo2andapoLTP-II/I), and (2) a pronounced reduction in black spotting in Great-Lakes populations (yellow, TH, Dat). Several of these genes also contribute to color variation in other wild and domesticated taxa. Overall, our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that predictable genes of large-effect contribute to color evolution in nature.
A metaBUS-enabled meta-analysis of career satisfaction
Authors: Lee Colin I.S.G. , Bosco Frank A. , Steel Piers , Uggerslev Krista L. 
Published: September 2017

PurposeIn this study, the authors revisit the meta-analytic correlates of career satisfaction and demonstrate the use of metaBUS – a database repository of meta-analytic effect sizes and related information from the field of applied psychology. The purpose of this paper is to extend prior meta-analytic research on the topic of career satisfaction and compare the results from the metaBUS-enabled meta-analysis, with the results from meta-analyses that do not build on the repository.Design/methodology/approachA multilevel meta-analysis was conducted on all correlates available in the metaBUS database and the approach was described in a step-by-step fashion.FindingsThe demonstration reiterated some of the findings of prior meta-analyses, but also revealed considerable incongruity between the sample taken from the metaBUS database and the meta-analytic sample from studies that relied on non-metaBUS-based literature searches. Nevertheless, the results are similar in terms of the directions of the effects and the relative sizes of the effects.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper demonstrates the use of the metaBUS database. In addition, results suggest that meta-analyses on career satisfaction might have suffered from sample selection issues, but further research is required in order to establish the source of the sample selection incongruence.Originality/valueThis is the first step-by-step demonstration of the use of metaBUS specifically for meta-analyses.
Inverse control of multi-dimensional Taylor network for permanent magnet synchronous motor
Authors: Zhang Chao , Yan Hong-Sen 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose a new control strategy based on adaptive inverse control aiming at high performance control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM).

Design/methodology/approach
This scheme adopts the vector control with double closed-loop structure and introduces a multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN) inverse control method into velocity-loop. First, the invertibility of PMSM’s mathematical model is proved. Second, a novel dynamic network (MTN) is presented, which has simple structure and faster computing speed. Besides, to realize the high-precision speed control, three MTNs are applied to achieve system modeling, inverse modeling and noise disturbance elimination which correspond to the function of the adaptive identifier, adaptive feed-forward controller and nonlinear adaptive filter, respectively.

Findings
This scheme is designed with the full consideration of the PMSM’s particularity. For the PMSM’s unknown dynamics and time-varying characteristics, the variable forgetting factor recursive least squares algorithm is adopted to improve identification ability, and the weight-elimination algorithm is used to remove redundant regression items in the MTN identifier and inverse controller. In addition, to reduce the influence arose from measurement noise and other stochastic factors, adaptive MTN filter is introduced to eliminate noise disturbance. The computational results show that the proposed scheme possesses excellent control performance and better robustness against the load disturbance.

Originality/value
The paper presents a new inverse control scheme with MTN which is practical and flexible, and the MTN-based control system is very promising for real-time applications.

Published: September 2017

Purpose
The purpose of the paper is to analyze the impact of coupling on the distribution of the magnetic field and study the characteristics of the magnetic flux density in the transmission process of the magnetic coupling resonant wireless power transmission (MCR-WPT) system, which provides guidance on the design of the WPT system.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, a finite element simulation analysis was conducted and a three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic field measurement platform was used.

Findings
It is shown that the distribution of the magnetic field, as well as the position of maximum magnetic flux density, will change when the coils are coupled. The simulation results of the magnetic field distribution, as well as the transmission performance, are different from those in practice. It cannot describe the actual performance of WPT system.

Originality/value
A 3D electromagnetic field measurement system and the host computer software are designed to help optimize the simulation and carry out more accurate and efficient research. The 3D electromagnetic field measurement system can be used to study the distribution of the spatial electromagnetic field, influencing factor, exposure and interoperability between different coils.
Proliferation inhibition of cisplatin‐resistant ovarian cancer cells using drugs screened by integrating a metabolic model and transcriptomic data
Authors: Motamedian E. , Taheri E. , Bagheri F. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractObjectivesIf screening to find effective drugs is possible, the inhibition of proliferation using existing drugs can be a practical strategy to control the drug resistance of cancer. Development of a system‐oriented strategy to find effective drugs was the main aim of this research.Materials and methodsAn algorithm (transcriptional regulated flux balance analysis [TRFBA]) integrating a generic human metabolic model with transcriptomic data was used to identify genes affecting the growth of drug‐resistant cancer cells. Drugs that inhibit activation of the target genes were found and their effect on the proliferation was experimentally evaluated.ResultsExperimental assessments demonstrated that TRFBA improves the prediction of cancer cell growth in comparison with previous algorithms. The algorithm was then used to propose the system‐oriented strategy to search drugs effective in limiting the growth rate of the cisplatin‐resistant A2780 epithelial ovarian cancer cell. Experimental evaluations resulted in the selection of azathioprine, terbinafine, hydralazine and sodium valproate that appropriately inhibit the proliferation of resistant cancer cells while minimally affecting normal cells. Furthermore, experimental data indicate that the selected drugs are synergistic and can be used in combination therapies.ConclusionsThe proposed strategy was successful to identify drugs effective on the viability of resistant cancer cells. This strategy can enhance the potency of treatments for drug‐resistant cancer cells and provides the possibility of using existing drugs.
Beaver dams, streamflow complexity, and the distribution of a rare minnow, Lepidomeda copei
Authors: Dauwalter Daniel C. , Walrath John D. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractFreshwater fishes are threatened globally, and often too little is known about threatened species to effectively guide their conservation. Habitat complexity is linked to fish species diversity and persistence, and degraded streams often lack habitat complexity. Beaver Castor spp., in turn, have been used to restore streams and increase habitat complexity. The northern leatherside chub Lepidomeda copei is a rare, small‐bodied, drift‐feeding minnow that has anecdotally been observed to use complex habitats associated with beaver dams in the western United States. To investigate this anecdote, we conducted fish and habitat surveys, the latter focusing on quantifying habitat complexity, in a sub‐basin of the Upper Snake River Basin in the USA. Complementary generalised linear model and path analyses revealed that northern leatherside chub occurred more often at sites with complex streamflows, and streamflows were more complex when beaver dams were present and pools were deeper. Northern leatherside chubs were also more likely to occur when temperatures were warmer, aquatic macrophytes were abundant and stream channels were narrow and deep. The linkage between chubs, complex streamflows and beaver dams needs to be evaluated more broadly to completely understand its role in the rangewide status of the species. However, it does suggests that increased use of beaver reintroductions and dam analogues for stream restoration could be a boon for the northern leatherside chub, but such efforts should be monitored to determine their effectiveness to help adapt beaver‐based restoration approaches to best benefit the species.
Explaining municipal audit costs in Sweden: Reconsidering the political environment, the municipal organisation and the audit market
Authors: Collin Sven‐Olof , Haraldsson Mattias , Tagesson Torbjörn , Blank Veronica 
Published: September 2017

AbstractWith the purpose of explaining professional audit costs in Swedish municipalities, we hypothesised that audit costs are partly driven by various signalling and monitoring incentives in order to manage stakeholder relationships. Our model of the determinants of audit costs was tested on data from Swedish municipalities, thus extending the study of audit costs to political organisations in a Scandinavian institutional context. The test supported to some extent the traditional propositions of organisational complexity, risk and market determinants, as well as the proposition of the political environment. Our results indicate that audit costs are used to signal accountability, thereby suggesting that audit as a signal could be managed without managing professional auditors.

AbstractAnoxygenic phototrophic bacteria utilize ancient metabolic pathways to link sulfur and iron metabolism to the reduction of CO2. In meromictic Lake Cadagno, Switzerland, both purple sulfur (PSB) and green sulfur anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (GSB) dominate the chemocline community and drive the sulfur cycle. PSB and GSB fix carbon utilizing different enzymatic pathways and these fractionate C‐isotopes to different extents. Here, these differences in C‐isotope fractionation are used to constrain the relative input of various anoxygenic phototrophs to the bulk community C‐isotope signal in the chemocline. We sought to determine whether a distinct isotopic signature of GSB and PSB in the chemocline persists in the settling fraction and in the sediment. To answer these questions, we also sought investigated C‐isotope fractionation in the water column, settling material, and sediment of Lake Cadagno, compared these values to C‐isotope fractionation of isolated anoxygenic phototroph cultures, and took a mass balance approach to investigate relative contributions to the bulk fractionation signature. We found a large C‐isotope fractionation between dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) in the Lake Cadagno chemocline. This large fractionation between the DIC and POC was also found in culture experiments carried out with anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria isolated from the lake. In the Lake Cadagno chemocline, anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria controlled the bulk C‐isotope fractionation, but the influence of GSB and PSB differed with season. Furthermore, the contribution of PSB and GSB to bulk C‐isotope fractionation in the chemocline could be traced in the settling fraction and in the sediment. Taken together with other studies, such as lipid biomarker analyzes and investigations of other stratified lakes, these results offer a firmer understanding of diagenetic influences on bacterial biomass.

AbstractAimBiodiversity is rapidly disappearing at local and global scales also affecting the functional diversity of ecosystems. We aimed to assess whether functional diversity was correlated with species diversity and whether both were affected by similar land use and vegetation structure drivers. Better understanding of these relationships will allow us to improve our predictions regarding the effects of future changes in land use on ecosystem functions and services.LocationThe Netherlands.MethodsWe compiled a dataset of c. 3 million observations of 66 out of 106 known Dutch butterfly species collected across 6,075 sampling locations during a period of 7 years, together with very high‐resolution maps of land use and countrywide vegetation structure data. Using a mixed‐effects modelling framework, we investigated the relationship between functional and species diversity and their main land use and vegetation structure drivers.ResultsWe found that high species diversity does not translate into high functional diversity, as shown by their different spatial distribution patterns in the landscape. Functional and species diversity are mainly driven by different sets of structural and land use parameters (especially average vegetation height, amount of vegetation between 0.5 and 2 m, natural grassland, sandy soils vegetation, marsh vegetation and urban areas). We showed that it is a combination of both vegetation structural characteristics and land use variables that defines functional and species diversity.Main conclusionsFunctional diversity and species diversity of butterflies are not consistently correlated and must therefore be treated separately. High functional diversity levels occurred even in areas with low species diversity. Thus, conservation actions may differ depending on whether the focus is on conservation of high functional diversity or high species diversity. A more integrative analysis of biodiversity at both species and trait levels is needed to infer the full effects of environmental change on ecosystem functioning.

AbstractIntroductionCellular analysis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) provides important diagnostic information in many pathological settings. The aim of this two‐site study was to evaluate the Sysmex XN Body Fluid mode (XN‐BF) for cell analysis of CSF compared to light microscopy (LM).MethodsTwo hundred and seven consecutive CSF samples were analyzed in parallel with XN‐BF and LM. The study also included the estimation of the limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), limit of quantitation (LoQ), carry‐over and linearity of XN‐BF module.ResultsLoQ of white blood cells (WBC) was 3×106 cells/L; linearity was good and carry‐over negligible. XN‐BF parameters were compared to LM for the following cell classes: total cells, WBC, polymorphonuclear (PMN), and mononuclear (MN) cells. The bias ranged from 1.3 to 15.2×106 cells/L. The receiver operating characteristics curve analysis for WBC showed an area under the curve of 0.98, and the global diagnostic agreement was 95% at a cutoff of 5×106 cells/L.ConclusionsXN‐BF provides rapid and accurate counts in clinically relevant ranges of CSF values, thus providing a valuable alternative to conventional LM analysis. However, microscopic review remains advisable in samples with abnormal cell counts or high fluorescent (HF‐BF) cell parameter exceeding 5×106 cells/L.

Abstract

Objectives
To describe the current hospital pharmacy practice in Saudi Arabia according to the revised Basel statements.

Methods
A review of the available data based on published literature in the subject area was carried out.

Key Findings
The original Basel Statements were developed at the 2008 Global Conference on the Future of Hospital Pharmacy in Basel, Switzerland. Representatives from 98 countries, including Saudi Arabia, attended this conference. The revision of the Basel statements simplified and merged many of the original Basel statements. In addition to making the Basel statements more concise, the revision added new statements to reflect global trends and the expanded responsibilities of hospital pharmacists.

Conclusion
The release of the Basel statements represents an important opportunity to bring Saudi Arabian practices into complete concurrence with international standards and to identify areas that should be prioritized.
The moderator effect of commitment on the relations between satisfaction and motivation in Special Employment Centres
Authors: Pérez‐Conesa Francisco J. , Romeo Marina , Yepes‐Baldó Montserrat 
Published: September 2017

BackgroundLittle is known about the relation between satisfaction, commitment and motivation among employees with mild intellectual disabilities. The present research analyses the moderated effect of commitment on the relation between satisfaction of employees with intellectual disabilities and their motivation.MethodEmployees with legally recognized intellectual disabilities, following the Spanish law, answered a questionnaire. The present authors examined bivariate relations across all variables in the model. Subsequently, a moderator model was tested, using the Johnson–Neyman and the pick‐a‐point approximation.ResultThere was a direct effect between employees' satisfaction and motivation (b = 2.4621; p < .0001). Commitment had a moderator effect on this relation (b = [−3.36 to −0.30]; p < .001), especially for those employees with lower levels of commitment.ConclusionsOur research focuses on the antecedents of work motivation of employees with mild intellectual disabilities as full employees. So, our results help HR managers to increase employees' motivational levels, as one of the main objectives of healthy organizations.

Published: September 2017

BackgroundThe objective was to describe the main causes of hospitalization in people with Angelman syndrome (AS).MethodPopulation‐based cross‐sectional study in the Community of Madrid (CM), Spain. The information source for AS cases was the information system for rare diseases in the CM. Variables related to hospitalization, for the period 2006–2014, were the following: number of episodes, outcome, main cause, length of stay and type of admission. Main causes of hospitalization were described by age group and sex.ResultsThe most frequent causes of hospitalization were the following: oral–dental care (28.9%), seizures (19.6%), orthopaedic problems (14.4%) and acute respiratory disorders (12.4%). The percentage of hospitalizations was higher for oral–dental care in women and for orthopaedic problems in men (p‐value <.05). Hospitalizations for an acute respiratory disorder were higher in adults (p‐value <.05).ConclusionsSome differences in the causes of hospitalization of people with AS were observed by sex and age.

Published: September 2017

AbstractAimWe investigate the influence of late Neogene orogenic activity and Pleistocene glacial‐interglacial cycles on intraspecific divergence and demographic history in the gymnosperm shrub Ephedra compacta. We test refugia hypotheses to explain geographical patterns of genetic diversity and phylogeographic structure in a warm North American desert that reaches inter‐tropical latitudes.LocationChihuahuan Desert, Mexican Plateau, Sierra Madre Oriental, Tehuacán Valley.MethodsGeographical patterns of genetic diversity were estimated using chloroplast DNA sequences of 191 individuals from 24 populations. AMOVA and SAMOVA analyses were used to assess population and phylogeographic structure, respectively. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) was implemented to test phylogeograhic scenarios of population divergence and demographic expansion. Ecological niche modelling (ENM) was performed to predict the potential distribution of E. compacta during the late Pleistocene and to estimate historical habitat stability. Refugia hypotheses were tested by estimating the linear associations between habitat stability, latitude and parameters of genetic diversity.ResultsHigh levels of population and phylogeographic structure were observed with six geographical groups explaining most of the variation. The best‐supported phylogeographic scenario assumed population divergence and demographic expansion during the Pleistocene. ENM predictions showed historical changes in the potential distribution of E. compacta, with a broader geographical extent in the present. Habitat stability was positively associated with population genetic diversity.Main conclusionsThe intraspecific population divergence and demographic expansion in E. compacta is probably associated with the glacial‐interglacial cycles of the Pleistocene. Our ENM predictions also support a scenario of habitat contraction and expansion during this time period. The phylogeographic history of E. compacta is predicted by climate refugia dynamics in which specific areas, primarily in the Mexican Plateau harbour the highest levels of habitat stability and genetic diversity.
