Abstract
Gallo, TF, Cormack, SJ, Gabbett, TJ, and Lorenzen, CH. Self-reported wellness profiles of professional Australian football players during the competition phase of the season. J Strength Cond Res 31(2): 495–502, 2017—With the prevalence of customized self-report measures in high-performance sport, and the incomplete understanding of athletes' perceived wellness in response to matches and training load, the objective of this study was to explore weekly wellness profiles within the context of the competitive season of professional Australian football. Internal match load, measured through the session-rating of perceived exertion method, match-to-match microcycle, stage of the season, and training load were included in multivariate linear models to determine their effect on weekly wellness profile (n = 1,835). There was a lower weekly training load on a 6-day microcycle compared with a 7-day and 8-day microcycle. Match load had no significant impact on weekly wellness profile, while there was an interaction between microcycle and days postmatch. There was a likely moderately lower wellness Z-score 1 day postmatch for an 8-day microcycle (mean; 95% confidence interval: −1.79; −2.02 to −1.56) compared with a 6-day (−1.19; −1.30 to −1.08) and 7-day (−1.22; −1.34 to −1.09) cycle (d; 95% confidence interval: −0.82; −1.3 to −0.36, −0.78; −1.3 to −0.28, respectively). The second half of the season saw a possibly small reduction in overall wellness Z-score than the first half of the season (0.22; 0.12–0.32). Finally, training load had no effect on wellness Z-score when controlled for days postmatch, microcycle, and stage of the season. These results provide information on the status of players in response to matches and fixed conditions. Knowing when wellness Z-score returns to baseline relative to the length of the microcycle may lead practitioners to prescribe the heaviest load of the week accordingly. Furthermore, wellness “red flags” should be made relative to the microcycles and stage of the season to determine an athlete's status relative to their typical weekly profile.
Multimodal spatial mapping and visualisation of Dinaledi Chamber and Rising Star Cave
Authors: Kruger Ashley , Randolph-Quinney Patrick , Elliott Marina 
Published: May 2016

The Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star Cave has yielded 1550 identifiable fossil elements – representing the largest single collection of fossil hominin material found on the African continent to date. The fossil chamber in which Homo naledi was found was accessible only through a near-vertical chute that presented immense practical and methodological limitations on the excavation and recording methods that could be used within the Cave. In response to practical challenges, a multimodal set of recording and survey methods was thus developed and employed: (1) recording of fossils and the excavation process was achieved through the use of white-light photogrammetry and laser scanning; (2) mapping of the Dinaledi Chamber was accomplished by means of high-resolution laser scanning, with scans running from the excavation site to the ground surface and the cave entrance; (3) at ground surface, the integration of conventional surveying techniques as well as photogrammetry with the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle was applied. Point cloud data were used to provide a centralised and common data structure for conversion and to corroborate the influx of different data collection methods and input formats. Data collected with these methods were applied to the excavations, mapping and surveying of the Dinaledi Chamber and the Rising Star Cave. This multimodal approach provides a comprehensive spatial framework from individual bones to landscape level.

Published: May 2016

In this paper, the extracts of three-part beggarticks (Bidens tripartita) were prepared using ultrasonic assisted micelle-mediated extraction method (UAMME). Different kind of surfactants and WPC (whey protein concentrate) were applied. In the B. tripartita extracts twenty polyphenols were identified by UPLC-DAD-MS. Both aqueous and UAMME extracts mainly contained chlorogenic acid, caftaric acid and its derivatives as well as luteolin 7-O-glucoside. The luteolin was extracted with Rokanol B2 and Triton X-100. Furthermore, antioxidative properties of the extracts were analyzed with two methods: reactions with di(phenyl)-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)iminoazanium (DPPH) reagent and Follin's method. The DPPH radical scavenging by micellar extracts was in general comparable with the antioxidant activity of conventional extracts. The most active was sample with Tego Care CG90, reducing about 73% of the radical. Obtained results confirmed that the UAMME might be an alternative method, to the liquid-liquid or solid-liquid extraction, of obtaining specified extracts rich in active compounds. Selecting a suitable surfactant may thus provide the expected composition of the extract.
Iron Filings Cement Engineered Soil Mix
Authors: Logsdon S. D. , Sauer P. A. 
Published: May 2016

Engineered soil mixes are expected to maintain plant growth while minimizing nutrient leaching in greenhouse and bioretention applications. Iron (Fe) has been suggested within plant growth mixtures as a sorbent for phosphorus. The purpose of this study was to determine if Fe filings are an appropriate component of engineered plant growth mixtures. Iron filings were added to engineered soil mixes in laboratory columns, and plants were grown for 2 mo. Unfortunately, Fe filings partially cemented the engineered mixes, especially the treatment with sand and compost but no soil. After completing the study, orange and red aggregates were apparent. Although Fe filings might be useful in filter beds, they were not suitable within engineered plant growth mixes.Core Ideas

Iron added to sand mix resulted in partial cementation.
New red and orange aggregates were formed in the sand mix.
Iron should not be added to soil mixes where plants will be grown.
Profit‐Maximizing Irrigation for Cotton on High Available Water Holding Capacity Soils

Published: May 2016

To improve irrigation management in the midsouthern United States, information is needed on the effects of irrigation on high available water holding capacity (AWHC) soils under humid, short‐growing season conditions. The objective of this research was to determine the effects of irrigation timing on lint yield, quality, and profit‐maximizing irrigation rates for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in such an environment on high AWHC soils. Lint yield and quality data were collected during a 2006 to 2009 cotton irrigation experiment at Jackson, TN. Lint yield and adjusted price responses to total water (rainfall plus irrigation) were estimated as quadratic functions when irrigation was initiated at first square, first bloom, and mid‐bloom. The baseline rainfall scenario showed that the profit‐maximizing irrigation rate was 94 mm with lint yield of 1893 kg ha−1 and net returns of US$2051 ha−1 when irrigation was initiated at first square. For irrigation initiated at first bloom, the profit‐maximizing irrigation rate increased to 121 mm with lint yield of 2052 kg ha−1 and net returns of $2213 ha−1. Profit maximizing irrigation rate was 173 mm with lint yield of 2174 kg ha−1 and net returns of $2361 ha−1 when irrigation was initiated at mid‐bloom. Initiation of irrigation at mid‐bloom would maximize profits on high AWHC soils given the results of this research. However, there are some years in Tennessee when irrigating cotton will not increase expected net returns due to sufficient rainfall or insufficient heat‐unit accumulation to fully mature the crop.Core Ideas

Determine the effects of irrigation timing on yield and profit maximizing irrigation rates for cotton production in humid short‐growing season on high available water holding capacity soils.
Initiation of irrigation at mid‐bloom would maximize profits on high available water holding capacity soils given the results and costs described from this research.
Baseline rainfall scenario shows that profit‐maximizing net return was US, 051, 213, and, 361 ha−1 when irrigation was initiated at first square, first bloom, and mid‐bloom, respectively.
Nitrous Oxide Production and Reduction in Seasonally‐Flooded Cultivated Peatland Soils
Authors: Hu Jing , Inglett Kanika S. , Wright Alan L. , Reddy K. Ramesh 
Published: May 2016

Core Ideas
We quantified N2O production and reduction for cultivated intermittently flooded peatland soils.
Labile organic C limited N2O production and reduction.
High residual NO3− in soils inhibited N2O reduction.
N2O emissions were inversely proportional to land management intensity and decreased in the order of uncultivated, turfgrass, vegetable, and sugarcane soils.
Biogeochemical controls of N2O production and reduction during denitrification in cultivated and intermittently flooded peatland soils are poorly understood. Soils from sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), vegetable, turfgrass, and uncultivated subtropical peatlands in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) were studied to elucidate influence of land use on N2O production and reduction. Under ambient soil conditions, intensively managed, tilled soils (sugarcane and vegetable) had 1.5 to 4 times lower N2O production and reduction than turfgrass soils. Uncultivated soils had 130 to 270% higher N2O production than tilled soils but had similar N2O reduction compared with tilled soils. A lower ratio of N2O reduction to production was observed for uncultivated soils compared to other land uses. Net N2O production was highest for uncultivated soils and decreased in the order of turfgrass, vegetable, and sugarcane soils. For all land uses, N2O production was limited by electron donors (labile organic C) but not by electron acceptors (NO3−). Depletion of labile organic C through long‐term soil oxidation after drainage resulted in limited availability of this energy source for denitrifying microorganisms. In addition, high residual NO3− resulting from organic N mineralization and inorganic fertilizer additions inhibited N2O reduction. Our results suggest that sugarcane production is likely to reduce N2O emissions from the EAA compared with other current land uses. Management practices with addition of labile organic C to the EAA soils may possibly result in N2O emission pulses because of the greater stimulation of labile organic C on N2O production than on N2O reduction.
Inter-rater Reliability of Sustained Aberrant Movement Patterns as a Clinical Assessment of Muscular Fatigue
Authors: Aerts Frank , Carrier Kathy , Alwood Becky 
Published: May 2016

Background:
The assessment of clinical manifestation of muscle fatigue is an effective procedure in establishing therapeutic exercise dose. Few studies have evaluated physical therapist reliability in establishing muscle fatigue through detection of changes in quality of movement patterns in a live setting.

Objective:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inter-rater reliability of physical therapists’ ability to detect altered movement patterns due to muscle fatigue.

Design:
A reliability study in a live setting with multiple raters.

Participants:
Forty-four healthy individuals (ages 19-35) were evaluated by six physical therapists in a live setting.

Methods:
Participants were evaluated by physical therapists for altered movement patterns during resisted shoulder rotation. Each participant completed a total of four tests: right shoulder internal rotation, right shoulder external rotation, left shoulder internal rotation and left shoulder external rotation.

Results:
For all tests combined, the inter-rater reliability for a single rater scoring ICC (2,1) was .65 (95%, .60, .71) This corresponds to moderate inter-rater reliability between physical therapists.

Limitations:
The results of this study apply only to healthy participants and therefore cannot be generalized to a symptomatic population.

Conclusion:
Moderate inter-rater reliability was found between physical therapists in establishing muscle fatigue through the observation of sustained altered movement patterns during dynamic resistive shoulder internal and external rotation.
An Investigation of Nurses’ Job Satisfaction in a Private Hospital and Its Correlates
Authors: Chien Wai-Tong , Yick Sin-Yin 
Published: May 2016

Background:Nurses’ job satisfaction and job stress are important issues regarding their turnovers. While there are some recent descriptive studies on job satisfaction in public hospitals, very limited research was found on this topic in private hospital setting. It is worth to examine the job satisfaction of nurses and its correlates in such a specific hospital context in Hong Kong, by which the findings can be compared with those in public hospitals, and across countries.Aims:To investigate nurses’ job satisfaction, job stress and intention to quit of nurses in a private hospital, and the correlates of the nurses’ job satisfaction.Design:A cross-sectional, descriptive survey study was conducted.Methods:By using stratified random sampling in terms of nature of wards/units and working ranks, 139 full-time nurses who were working in the 400-bed private hospital for at least 6 months and provided direct nursing care were recruited in this study. Data were collected by employing a set of self-administered structured questionnaires, consisting of the Index of Work Satisfaction (job satisfaction), Anxiety-Stress Questionnaire (job stress), Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire (intention to quit), and socio-demographic data.Results:With a response rate of 74.3%, the results of the 139 respondents showed that the nurses in the private hospital had an overall moderate level of satisfaction with their work and rated the professional status as the highest satisfied domain. The nurses also reported moderate levels of job stress and intention to quit. The nurses’ job satisfaction was negatively correlated with their job stress and intention to quit; whereas, the nurses’ job stress was positively correlated with their intention to quit. The nurses with older in age and more post-registration experience and/or working experience in the private hospital indicated a higher level of job satisfaction, particularly with ‘Pay’ and ‘Autonomy’.Conclusion:The findings suggest that the nurses in the private hospital are moderately stressful and satisfied with their work environment and relationships. A few socio-demographic characteristics of these nurses such as their age and years of clinical experiences were associated with their levels of job satisfaction and/or stress. The findings provided information for private hospitals and healthcare organizations about the need and areas for improvement of nurse’s job satisfaction, thus strengthening their recruitment and retention.

Authors: Speksnijder Caroline M. , Koppenaal Tjarco , Knottnerus J. André , Spigt Mark , Staal J. Bart , Terwee Caroline B. 
Published: May 2016

Abstract

Background
The Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS) has been translated into different languages, and several studies on its measurement properties have been done.

Purpose
The purpose of this review was to critically appraise and compare the measurement properties, when possible, of all language versions of the QBPDS by systematically reviewing the methodological quality and results of the available studies.

Method
Bibliographic databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) were searched for articles with the key words “Quebec,” “back,” “pain,” and “disability” in combination with a methodological search filter for finding studies on measurement properties concerning the development or evaluation of the measurement properties of the QBPDS in patients with nonspecific low back pain. Assessment of the methodological quality was carried out by the reviewers using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist for both the original language version of the QBPDS in English and French and all translated versions. The results of the measurement properties were rated based on criteria proposed by Terwee et al.

Results
The search strategy resulted in identification of 1,436 publications, and 27 articles were included in the systematic review. There was limited-to-moderate evidence of good reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the QBPDS for the different language versions, but for no language version was evidence available for all measurement properties.

Conclusion
For research and clinical practice, caution is advised when using the QBPDS to measure disability in patients with nonspecific low back pain. Strong evidence is lacking on all measurement properties for each language version of the QBPDS.

Published: May 2016

OBJECTIVE
The impact of the stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) prescription dose (PD) on local progression and radiation necrosis for small (≤ 2 cm) brain metastases was evaluated.

METHODS
An institutional review board–approved retrospective review was performed on 896 patients with brain metastases ≤ 2 cm (3034 tumors) who were treated with 1229 SRS procedures between 2000 and 2012. Local progression and/or radiation necrosis were the primary end points. Each tumor was followed from the date of radiosurgery until one of the end points was reached or the last MRI follow-up. Various criteria were used to differentiate tumor progression and radiation necrosis, including the evaluation of serial MRIs, cerebral blood volume on perfusion MR, FDG-PET scans, and, in some cases, surgical pathology. The median radiographic follow-up per lesion was 6.2 months.

RESULTS
The median patient age was 56 years, and 56% of the patients were female. The most common primary pathology was non–small cell lung cancer (44%), followed by breast cancer (19%), renal cell carcinoma (14%), melanoma (11%), and small cell lung cancer (5%). The median tumor volume and median largest diameter were 0.16 cm3 and 0.8 cm, respectively. In total, 1018 lesions (34%) were larger than 1 cm in maximum diameter. The PD for 2410 tumors (80%) was 24 Gy, for 408 tumors (13%) it was 19 to 23 Gy, and for 216 tumors (7%) it was 15 to 18 Gy. In total, 87 patients (10%) had local progression of 104 tumors (3%), and 148 patients (17%) had at least radiographic evidence of radiation necrosis involving 199 tumors (7%; 4% were symptomatic). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for local progression and radiation necrosis. For local progression, tumors less than 1 cm (subhazard ratio [SHR] 2.32; p < 0.001), PD of 24 Gy (SHR 1.84; p = 0.01), and additional whole-brain radiation therapy (SHR 2.53; p = 0.001) were independently associated with better outcome. For the development of radiographic radiation necrosis, independent prognostic factors included size greater than 1 cm (SHR 2.13; p < 0.001), location in the corpus callosum (SHR 5.72; p < 0.001), and uncommon pathologies (SHR 1.65; p = 0.05). Size (SHR 4.78; p < 0.001) and location (SHR 7.62; p < 0.001)—but not uncommon pathologies—were independent prognostic factors for the subgroup with symptomatic radiation necrosis.

CONCLUSIONS
A PD of 24 Gy results in significantly better local control of metastases measuring < 2 cm than lower doses. In addition, tumor size is an independent prognostic factor for both local progression and radiation necrosis. Some tumor pathologies and locations may also contribute to an increased risk of radiation necrosis.

Authors: van Lindert Erik J. , Arts Sebastian , Blok Laura M. , Hendriks Mark P. , Tielens Luc , van Bilsen Martine , Delye Hans 
Published: May 2016

OBJECTIVE
Minimal literature exists on the intraoperative complication rate of pediatric neurosurgical procedures with respect to both surgical and anesthesiological complications. The aim of this study, therefore, was to establish intraoperative complication rates to provide patients and parents with information on which to base their informed consent and to establish a baseline for further targeted improvement of pediatric neurosurgical care.

METHODS
A clinical complication registration database comprising a consecutive cohort of all pediatric neurosurgical procedures carried out in a general neurosurgical department from January 1, 2004, until July 1, 2012, was analyzed. During the study period, 1807 procedures were performed on patients below the age of 17 years.

RESULTS
Sixty-four intraoperative complications occurred in 62 patients (3.5% of procedures). Intraoperative mortality was 0.17% (n = 3). Seventy-eight percent of the complications (n = 50) were related to the neurosurgical procedures, whereas 22% (n = 14) were due to anesthesiology. The highest intraoperative complication rates were for cerebrovascular surgery (7.7%) and tumor surgery (7.4%). The most frequently occurring complications were cerebrovascular complications (33%).

CONCLUSIONS
Intraoperative complications are not exceptional during pediatric neurosurgical procedures. Awareness of these complications is the first step in preventing them.
La place des « indésirables ». Pratiques et effets de l’exclusion dans les établissements de secteurs populaires
Authors: Douat Étienne 
Published: May 2016

À partir de plusieurs enquêtes ethnographiques réalisées dans huit établissements de secteurs populaires, cet article propose de contribuer à l’analyse des recompositions qui travaillent l’école française aujourd’hui massifiée, en interrogeant, à l’échelle des espaces scolaires, les effets et enjeux associés à la prise en charge de nouvelles problématiques scolaires et sociales, qui tendent particulièrement à se concentrer dans les zones les plus ségréguées. On partira ici de ce qui constitue l’une des expériences ordinaires les plus partagées par une partie de ces enfants de la massification, parfois jugés inenseignables ou ingérables : l’exclusion de cours. L’examen de cette pratique, souvent ignorée dans les champs politique et médiatique s’avère heuristique pour saisir quelques-unes des transformations qui affectent aujourd’hui l’organisation des espaces scolaires, notamment en termes de distribution spatiale des corps, de division du travail et de socialisation des élèves.
