Published: November 2015

In the present paper, we theoretically reinvestigate structural properties, and photo-physical and chemical characteristics and electronic absorption spectra of three kinds of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes [Ru(tpy)[Formula: see text], [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(H2O)][Formula: see text], and [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(Cl)][Formula: see text] complexes in acetone (tpy[Formula: see text]2,2[Formula: see text],2[Formula: see text]-terpyridine and bpy[Formula: see text]2,2[Formula: see text]-bipyridine). In particular, the experimental absorption spectra of these complexes are revisited theoretically in detail and are simulated using the first-order perturbation theory based on time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) where the first-order perturbation term is the spin–orbit (SO) coupling Hamiltonian, and quantum chemistry calculations based on various functionals and basis sets. It was found that in general the theory including SO coupling can reproduce experimental data better than the simple quantum chemistry calculation neglecting SO coupling, which indicates that SO coupling is very important to understand the optical features of these complexes and that therefore the mixing between singlet and triplet states is strong due to the large SO coupling constant of Ru atom involved in these complexes. This suggests the fact that the disagreement between the experimental and calculated absorption spectra was found in TDB3LYP/(SDD with triple-[Formula: see text] for Ru and 6-31G* for others) [Jakubikova EJ et al., Inorg Chem 48:10720, 2009] can be tracked down to the neglect of SO couplings. It was also found that the choice of the DFT functionals and basis sets is crucial for a good theoretical reproduction of experimental data.
Animal models for plaque rupture: a biomechanical assessment
Authors: Daemen Mat J. , Gijsen Frank J. H. , Heiden Kim Van der , Hoogendoorn Ayla 
Published: November 2015

SummaryRupture of atherosclerotic plaques is the main cause of acute cardiovascular events. Animal models of plaque rupture are rare but essential for testing new imaging modalities to enable diagnosis of the patient at risk. Moreover, they enable the design of new treatment strategies to prevent plaque rupture. Several animal models for the study of atherosclerosis are available. Plaque rupture in these models only occurs following severe surgical or pharmaceutical intervention. In the process of plaque rupture, composition, biology and mechanics each play a role, but the latter has been disregarded in many animal studies. The biomechanical environment for atherosclerotic plaques is comprised of two parts, the pressure-induced stress distribution, mainly - but not exclusively – influenced by plaque composition, and the strength distribution throughout the plaque, largely determined by the inflammatory state. This environment differs considerably between humans and most animals, resulting in suboptimal conditions for plaque rupture. In this review we describe the role of the biomechanical environment in plaque rupture and assess this environment in animal models that present with plaque rupture.

SummaryPrior studies have shown an association between high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity (PR) and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). However, large intervention trials on PR-tailored treatments have been neutral. The role and usefulness of PR with regard to levels of cardiovascular risk are unclear. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data on MACE outcomes (acute coronary syndromes (ACS), ischaemic strokes, and vascular deaths) in relation to PR and its interaction with cardiovascular risk levels. PR was determined using ADP-induced light transmission aggregometry with a primary concentration of 20 μM ADP. Thirteen prospective studies totaled 6,478 clopidogrel-treated patients who experienced 421 MACE (6.5 %) during a median follow-up of 12 months. The strength of the association between the risk of MACE and PR increased significantly (p=0.04) with the number of risk factors present (age> 75 years, ACS at inclusion, diabetes, and hypertension). No association was detected in patients with no risk factor (p=0.48). In patients presenting one risk factor, only high-PR was associated with an increased risk of MACE (HR 3.2, p=0.001). In patients presenting ≥ 2 risk factors, the increase of risk started from medium-PR (medium-PR: HR=2.9, p=0.0004; high-PR: HR=3.7, p=0.0003). PR allowed the reclassification of 44 % of the total population to a different risk level for the outcome of MACE, mostly in intermediate or high risk patients. In conclusion, the magnitude of the association between PR and MACE risk is strongly dependent on the level of cardiovascular risk faced by patients on clopidogrel.Supplementary Material to this article is available online at www.thrombosis-online.com.

<em>Exempla</em> di δίδαξις nel mondo animale: il caso dell’ ἀράχνη
Authors: Guarino Gabriella 
Published: November 2015

Na história humana, a importância do animal como objeto cultural não foi muito inferior à do animal <em>stricto sensu</em>. O animal é “muito bom” de ser estudado, não só pelas complexas interações estabelecidas com o mundo humano, mas também por sua importância como representação no imaginário das tradições culturais das sociedades antigas e modernas. Como se sabe, depois de Aristóteles a zoologia se tornou <em>etologia</em>; o retorno do animal a suas funções simbólicas e arcaicas poderia explicar a complexidade das obras científicas de Plutarco, baseadas em diferentes competências: zoológica, científica, anedótica, mas também retórica e filosófica. A análise das virtudes atribuídas ao mundo animal feita por Cheronese revela que muitas vezes eles são descritos para <em>commovere</em> o público. Há diversas observações a respeito da utilização e da reutilização do repertório zoológico em Plutarco. A polivalência semântica do animal é aqui irrefutável: em Plutarco, o animal pode ser objeto de um estudo pseudocientífico, um símbolo, uma metáfora, uma símile, um <em>instrumentum</em> usado para refutar ideias e persuadir o leitor.
Benthic Ostracods of Skogsbergiella (Myodocopina: Cylindroleberididae) from the Southern Ocean

Published: November 2015

Skogsbergiella tetrathrix sp. nov. and S. species A, species of the family Cylindroleberididae are described from the Drake Passage (59°21.97´S – 60°4.27´W to 59°22.55´S – 60°4.01´W, depth 2372–2380 m) and Weddell Sea (75°49.9´S–27°31.7´W to 74°51.55´S–27°40.3´W, depth 467–475m) respectively. Skogsbergiella tetrathrix sp.nov. is very close to S. macrothrix Kornicker, 1975 but differs by greater size of carapace, 2-jointed rod-shaped organ, lesser number of setae on comb of fifth limb and teeth on combs of seventh limb, and absence of lateral eyes. S. species A is similar to S. skogsbergi Kornicker, 1971 and S. senex Kornicker, 1996 but differs in size and number of setae on the dorsal margin of mandibular basale and seventh limb.
Energy Exchanges between Density Fronts and Near-Inertial Waves Reflecting off the Ocean Surface
Authors: Grisouard Nicolas , Thomas Leif N. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractInertial waves propagating upward in a geostrophically balanced front experience critical reflections against the ocean surface. Such reflections naturally create oscillations with small vertical scales, and viscous friction becomes a dominant process. Here, friction modifies the polarization relations of internal waves and allows energy from the balanced front to be exchanged with the ageostrophic motions and eventually dissipated. In addition, while in the well-known inviscid case internal waves propagate on only two characteristics, this study demonstrates using an analytical model that strong viscous effects introduce additional oscillatory modes that can exchange energy with the front. Moreover, during a linear, near-critical reflection, the superposition of several of these oscillations induces an even stronger energy exchange with the front. When the Richardson number based on the frontal thermal wind shear is O(1), the rate of energy exchange peaks at wave frequencies that are near inertial and is comparable in magnitude to the energy flux of the incident, upward-propagating waves. Two-dimensional, linear numerical experiments confirm this finding. The analytical model also demonstrates that this process is qualitatively insensitive to the actual value of the viscosity or the form of the boundary condition at the surface. In fully nonlinear experiments, the authors recover these qualitative conclusions. However, nonlinear wave–wave interactions and turbulence in particular, strongly modify the amount of energy that is exchanged with the front. In practice, such nonlinear effects are only active when the incident waves have frequencies higher than the Coriolis frequency, since these configurations are conducive to near-resonant triad interactions between incident and reflected waves.
Coupled substitutions in PGE-enriched cobaltite: new evidence from the Rio Jacaré layered complex, Bahia state, Brazil
Authors: Barkov Andrei Y. , Fedortchouk Yana , Campbell Robert A. , Halkoaho Tapio A.A. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractMicrocrystals of platinum-group element (PGE)-bearing cobaltite occur in the Gulcari A deposit of vanadiferous titanomagnetite in the lower zone of the Rio Jacaré mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion, Brazil. Aggregates of cobaltite and sperrylite are cluster-like and developed generally along the boundary of Fe-Ti oxide grains with deuteric silicates. Our observations of cryptic zoning, compositional variability and interelement correlations are based on 37 analytical points (wavelength-dispersion spectrometry mode) of cobaltite, and indicate that Ir and Rh behave uniformly with Ni and antipathetically with Co which, in turn, correlates directly with S content. Iridium, Rh and Ni apparently substitute for Co in the As-enriched grain core, and the substitution mechanism invokes solid solution with a cattierite-type molecule: (Ni + Ir + Rh) + (AsS) = Co + (S2). The PGE-bearing cobaltite probably crystallized as a primary phase at 500 to 300°C, from microvolumes of a late fluid phase. The observed enrichment in S and decrease in the As:S ratio at the cobaltite grain margins is a reflection of the increase in sulfur fugacity (fS2) with decrease in temperature of crystallization.
Cavovarus deformity in Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease: is there a hindfoot equinus deformity that needs treatment?

Published: November 2015

AbstractBackgroundCharcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease (CMT), one of the most common hereditary neurologic disorders, often results in debilitating cavovarus foot deformities. The deformities are still not fully understood, and the treatment recommendations are consequently heterogeneous, often including calf muscle or Achilles tendon lengthening.MethodsWe examined 40 patients (80 feet) with CMT and bilateral cavovarus deformities (19 men and 21 women, mean age 33.6 ± 14.6 years) and the feet of a healthy control population of 13 individuals (7 men and 6 women, mean age 43.9 ± 10.8 years). In all cases 3D instrumented gait analysis results with both conventional Plug‐in‐Gait analysis and the Heidelberg Foot Measurement Method (HFMM) were used to determine the sagittal plane kinematics, dorsi‐plantar flexion (DPF), tibio‐talar dorsiflexion (TTDF), and medial arch angle (MAA), and the results of patients and the control group were compared using the 2 methods. Decreased and increased dorsiflexion using TTDF was defined as 1 standard deviation below or above the mean of the control. Comparisons were done using descriptive statistics, the Pearson correlation coefficient and ANOVA.ResultsThe TTDF was found to be decreased in 18 of the 80 feet examined (22.5 %), normal in 31 feet (38.75 %), and increased in 31 feet (38.75 %). The Pearson coefficient showed a positive correlation with R = 0.765, p < 0.001 between decreased TTDF values found by HFMM and decreased DPF values found with conventional Plug‐in‐Gait analysis, but a very weak correlation in patients with normal TTDF (R = ‐0.118) and increased TTDF (R = 0.078). Also, in patients with decreased TTDF values, there was a weak to moderate correlation with the MAA (R = 0.335), but no correlation between the MAA and DPF (R = 0.023).ConclusionsThe HFMM, unlike the conventional Plug‐in‐Gait analysis, distinguishes between the segments of the foot in foot deformities and facilitates evaluation of the hindfoot equinus component in patients with CMT and cavovarus deformity. Although there is a significant correlation between decreased TTDF with HFMM and decreased DPF with conventional Plug‐in‐Gait analysis, this correlation was not seen in patients with normal or increased TTDF values. Conventional Plug‐in‐Gait analysis alone does not indicate if an increased plantar flexion deformity is the result of either a cavus deformity or hindfoot equinus deformity, which limits its usefulness in assisting in treatment decision making.
Identifying factors which enhance capacity to engage in clinical education among podiatry practitioners: an action research project

Published: November 2015

AbstractBackgroundHealth profession students develop practical skills whilst integrating theory with practice in a real world environment as an important component of their training. Research in the area of practice placements has identified challenges and barriers to the delivery of effective placement learning. However, there has been little research in podiatry and the question of which factors impact upon clinical educators' capacity to engage with the role remains an under‐researched area. This paper presents the second phase of an action research project designed to determine the factors that impact upon clinical educators' capacity to engage with the mentorship role.MethodsAn online survey was developed and podiatry clinical educators recruited through National Health Service (NHS) Trusts. The survey included socio‐demographic items, and questions relating to the factors identified as possible variables influencing clinical educator capacity; the latter was assessed using the ‘Clinical Educator Capacity to Engage’ scale (CECE). Descriptive statistics were used to explore demographic data whilst the relationship between the CECE and socio‐demographic factors were examined using inferential statistics in relation to academic profile, career profile and organisation of the placement.ResultsThe survey response rate was 42 % (n = 66). Multiple linear regression identified four independent variables which explain a significant proportion of the variability of the dependent variable, ‘capacity to engage with clinical education’, with an adjusted R2 of 0.428. The four variables were: protected mentorship time, clinical educator relationship with university, sign‐off responsibility, and volunteer status.ConclusionThe identification of factors that impact upon clinical educators' capacity to engage in mentoring of students has relevance for strategic planning and policy‐making with the emphasis upon capacity‐building at an individual level, so that the key attitudes and characteristics that are linked with good clinical supervision are preserved.
The Tretter Collection
Authors: Vecoli Lisa 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
This essay examines the history of the Tretter Collection in GLBT Studies at the University of Minnesota Libraries. The Tretter Collection today has strong holdings about white gay men, lesser holdings about lesbians, and large gaps in material about people of color, bisexuals, and the transgender community. I argue that this is the result both of its history and of broader societal forces that limit the production of material by and for these communities. While unique, many elements in the Tretter story hold true for other GLBT archives and may help researchers contextualize what they find (and do not find) as well as encourage more discussion about strategies for diversifying GLBT voices in our collections. I explore the strategies I have used to begin filling gaps in the archive, focusing on the inclusion of transgender voices.
“Sitting. with a Candle? Up My Ass!”
Authors: Johnson Dominic 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
“Sitting. With a Candle? Up My Ass!” explores the archive of the Bay Area photographer David Greene, focusing firstly on Shameless (1974), a series of portraits of transgender people, queers, and people in drag, often posed candidly in domestic and other domestic settings. It zooms into Greene's work to draw out the story of the forgotten genderfuck poet and activist Harmodius in Exile—Greene's lover and peer—posing archival research as an access point to concealed or “minor” histories of lesbian, gay, and transgender life in San Francisco in the 1970s. In my analysis, Harmodius's strategic maximalism—captured so evocatively in Greene's portraits and evoked in Harmodius's own poetry (cited in the title)—is both a political tool and a technique of whimsy, a gesture of serious play that stages the poet's commitment to aesthetic, political, and corporeal self-fashioning.

Import substitution policies in the hospitality industry: focus on domestic producer
Authors: Мерзлова Мария , Merzlova Mariya 
Published: November 2015

The article discusses the new conditions for the functioning of the hotel enterprises, due
to the state policy of import substitution, which is carried out under the influence of economic
sanctions on European countries and the United States against Russia. Focusing on domestic
producers can have a positive impact on the efficiency the hospitality industry through the
development of direct cooperation links. The most urgent needs of the hotel, the satisfaction of
which by domestic producers faced with certain organizational and financial problems, require
the development of public-private partnership. Small farmers are regarded as the main suppliers
of foods to hotels in the regions. The necessity of government support measures for farmers as
key strategic partners of the hotel enterprises in the regions is justified. The experience of the
pilot project for the integration of farmers in the Internet space, which provides rapid remote
communication of small farmers and hotel companies in the process of cooperation, is
represented.
Self-extrication in road traffic collisions: do we really need to cut the roof off?
Authors: Cowley Alan 
Published: November 2015

Road traffic collisions are commonly encountered in the pre-hospital environment, and extrication of vehicle occupants can be challenging. Allowing a person to self-extricate from the vehicle, rather than using the process of prolonged mechanical extrication (the process of removing a vehicle from around a person), can be beneficial to the patient in a number of ways. The chance of catastrophic spinal injury (in this case taken to mean ‘any spinal injury that results in permanent disability, long-term medical problems or shortened life expectancy’) is low, and self-immobilisation during the extrication process will mean the patient is capable of protecting any injury they may have, without making it worse in any way. This is supported when the physiology of the spine, and the kinetics involved in road traffic collisions are considered. In addition, the self-extrication method is likely to reduce the time to definitive care, potentially improving the outcomes for many patients. It will also reduce anxiety, mental trauma and an unnecessary use of resources. Inviting a patient to remove themselves from a car is not a declaration of an uninjured cervical spine, and so immobilisation must still be used, in line with local policy, once the patient is out of the vehicle. The author presents an algorithm to assist the pre-hospital clinician in deciding if self-extrication is appropriate. It is based on the alert, systemically well patient agreeing to the plan and being aware that they may change their mind at any time. The need for focused research on the mechanics of extrication, rather than methods of immobilisation, is encouraged with a view to a validated algorithm in the future.
Clinical intuition: how paramedics make decisions, is experience always best? A case presentation
Authors: Roberts Wez 
Published: November 2015

When presented with a patient with an undiagnosed neurological condition, how do you decide how to proceed? In the challenging out-of-hospital environment intuition or experience may be your main resource, but could also be a hindrance. It is difficult to define intuition, but it is often seen as incorporating rapid perception to make decisions, and not being aware of the processes involved ( Gobet and Chassy, 2008 ). With paramedics being required to make more and more decisions as part of their practice, including discharging at scene, treat and refer systems and ultimately not transferring all patients to the ED, it is vital to understand the decision-making processes undertaken. By thoroughly understanding the processes that paramedics undertake, education can be targeted to incorporate these. Training practitioners to actively avoid the pitfalls of these techniques should help to reduce the likelihood of error in the future. This article will provide a succinct description of a case from clinical practice, highlighting why the decision-making process is important to patient outcomes, how this is undertaken and the role that experience.
