Are local market relationships undermining organic fruit and vegetable certification? A bivariate probit analysis
Authors: Torres Ariana P. , Marshall Maria I. , Alexander Corinne E. , Delgado Michael S. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThis article investigates how an organic fruit and vegetable farmer's choice to use direct‐to‐consumer market channels impacts his/her decision to be certified organic. First, we model the decision to be certified organic as a conditionally independent decision from the farmer's chosen market channels. Second, we estimate the probability of certifying organic as an endogenously determined marketing decision to the choice of market channels, and use a bivariate probit specification to model this decision. Empirical evidence indicates that the decision to certify is endogenous to the chosen market channels. We show that farmers selling direct to consumers are less likely to certify organic.
Can the Arts Get Under the Skin? Arts and Cortisol for Economically Disadvantaged Children
Authors: Brown Eleanor D. , Garnett Mallory L. , Anderson Kate E. , Laurenceau Jean‐Philippe 
Published: December 2016

This within‐subjects experimental study investigated the influence of the arts on cortisol for economically disadvantaged children. Participants were 310 children, ages 3–5 years, who attended a Head Start preschool and were randomly assigned to participate in different schedules of arts and homeroom classes on different days of the week. Cortisol was sampled at morning baseline and after arts and homeroom classes on two different days at start, middle, and end of the year. For music, dance, and visual arts, grouped and separately, results of piecewise hierarchical linear modeling with time‐varying predictors suggested cortisol was lower after an arts versus homeroom class at middle and end of the year but not start of the year. Implications concern the impact of arts on cortisol for children facing poverty risks.
Association between the prevalence of dental caries in children and factors related to their mothers
Authors: Shin B‐M , Park D‐Y 
Published: December 2016

AbstractObjectivesWe assessed the association between the socio‐economic, behavioural, psychological and oral health status factors of Korean mothers with the status of dental caries in their children using nationwide representative data from the Fourth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.MethodsChildren were categorized into child (CG, 6–11 years) and adolescent (AG, 12–18 years) groups. Responses from both the child and his/her mother were included in the analysis. The data for mother–child pairs were analysed using the chi‐square test and multiple logistic regression of complex samples along with other covariates, including frequency of daily tooth brushing, tooth brushing before going to bed, regular dental check‐up and unmet dental care needs.ResultsThe prevalence of dental caries in the CG was 2.4 times higher in children with mothers having ≥1 permanent tooth caries than in those with mothers having no caries (P < 0.001). In the AG, the risk of permanent tooth caries was higher in children with mothers who received less education and experienced stress (P < 0.05), and the risk was also higher (2.4 times) in children with mothers with ≥1 active permanent tooth caries than in those whose mothers did not have caries (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe mothers’ oral health status was significantly associated with the existence of dental caries in their children, even after adjusting for child‐related variables. Strategies for promoting oral health in children and adolescents by including individual and family factors based on the sociocultural background of the country will be necessary.
The effects of teacher directed writing instruction combined with SOLO Literacy Suite
Authors: Park Y. , Ambrose G. , Coleman M.B. , Moore T.C. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an intervention in which teacher‐led instruction was combined with computerized writing software to improve paragraph writing for three middle school students with intellectual disability. A multiple probe across participants design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. During each 30 to 45‐min intervention session, the teacher provided instruction using a graphic organizer to remind students about grammar rules and proper paragraph structure. Then participants wrote paragraphs using three of the four software components of SOLO Literacy Suite (Write:OutLoud, Co:Writer and Draft:Builder). Data indicated that the intervention was effective in improving writing quality (topic adherence and mechanics measured on a rubric), percentage of words spelled correctly and percentage of correct word sequences for all participants. Implications for educators and future research are discussed.Lay DescriptionWhat is already known about this topic:

Writing is a vital skill that must be present in order for secondary students to excel in all academic areas.
Students with intellectual disabilities (ID) in secondary school experience difficulty with written expression.
Limited explicit teaching of writing skills for students with disabilities results in schoolaged students continuing to struggle with written expression.
What this paper adds:

Writing technology, when paired with teacher-directed writing instruction, can be one solution for improving the writing of students with SD.
The explicit teaching of writing skills, including mechanics and organizational structure, can contribute to the writing success of students with disabilities.
Students with ID would better respond to technology‐based writing instruction when it is delivered along with well-planned teacher‐led instruction.
Implications for practice and/or policy:

The features of the writing software should fit the needs of students with disabilities in order for future writing interventions to be more effective.
Changes that could be made to the software to meet the needs of students with disabilities include the following: the speed with which the text is read aloud, the voice of the text to speech feature, and the overall amount of time that participants have to develop a written product.

Published: December 2016

SummaryControversy persists about whether snoring can affect atherosclerotic changes in adjacent vessels, independently of obstructive sleep apnea and other cardiovascular risk factors. This study examined the independent association between snoring and carotid artery intima‐media thickness (IMT) in non‐apneic snorers and non‐snorers. We studied 180 non‐apneic snorers and non‐snorers participating in a full‐night home‐based sleep study. Snoring sound was measured objectively by a microphone. Based on snoring time across the night, participants were classified as non‐snorers (snoring time: 0%), mild snorers (1–25%) and moderate to heavy snorers (≥25%). We measured IMT on both common carotid arteries. The three groups were matched by age, body mass index, cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels, using weights from generalized boosted‐propensity score models. Mean carotid IMT increased with increased snoring time across the night in women: non‐snorers (0.707 mm), mild (0.718 mm) and moderate to heavy snorers (0.774 mm), but not in men. Snoring during at least one‐fourth of a night's sleep is associated independently with subclinical changes in carotid IMT in women only.
Maternal Incarceration and Children's Education and Labor Market Outcomes
Authors: Brown Christian 
Published: December 2016

AbstractI estimate the effect of maternal incarceration on education and labor market outcomes. I link mother–child panels and estimate maternal fixed effects to control for unobservable household heterogeneity. Maternal incarceration from birth to age 10 is associated with increased grade retention and dropout rates. Conditional on completing high school, incarceration from 15 to 17 is associated with decreased college attendance. Maternal incarceration does not appear to have a further effect on employment, but some wage penalties are apparent. Propensity score analysis suggests that controlling for unobservable household characteristics is vital when examining the link between incarceration and labor outcomes.
Depicting Depictions
Authors: Jagnow René 
Published: December 2016

AbstractHow is it possible for a picture to depict a picture? Proponents of perceptual theories of depiction, who argue that the content of a picture is determined, in part, by the visual state it elicits in suitable viewers, that is, by a state of seeing‐in, have given a plausible answer to this question. They say that a picture depicts a picture, in part, because, under appropriate conditions of observation, a suitable viewer will be able to see a picture in the picture. In this article, I first argue that this answer is in conflict with the way in which some of the most influential perceptual theories of depiction – Robert Hopkins's version of the experienced resemblance theory and Dominic Lopes's version of the recognition theory – construe seeing‐in. I then formulate a version of the recognition theory that avoids this conflict and show how it can explain the depiction of pictures.

Published: December 2016

AbstractCommunity asset mapping (CAM) is the collective process of identifying local assets and strategizing processes to address public health issues and concerns and improve quality of life. Prior to implementing a community‐based physical activity intervention with Latinas in the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley, promotoras [community health workers] conducted 16 interactive sessions in 8 colonias. The analysis of the transcribed CAM recordings and on‐site observational data resulted in the construction of Living in Limbo as the thematic representation of these Latinas' social isolation and marginalization associated with pervasive poverty, undocumented immigration status or lack of citizenship, their fears emanating from threats to physical and emotional safety, and the barriers created by lack of availability and access to resources.
Meningococcal Vaccination in Men Who Have Sex with Men
Authors: Blackwell Christopher W. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractRecent outbreaks of meningitis in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and other locations across the United States have heightened public health concerns regarding the increasing incidence of meningococcal infections in this vulnerable population. MSM have unique risk factors that result in greater threat from certain infectious diseases, including meningococcal infection. Men who have sex with men who are infected with HIV are at even higher risk. This article explores the increased risks among MSM in contracting and communicating meningococcal infection, use of vaccination as primary prevention, and outreach strategies that may help address this issue and lessen the disease burden associated with meningococcal infection in these sexual minorities.

AbstractBackgroundDuring pregnancy, most women do not meet gestational weight gain (GWG) guidelines, potentially resulting in adverse maternal and infant health consequences. Social environment determinants of GWG have been identified, but evidence on the relationship between neighbourhood violence and GWG is scant. Our study aims to examine the relationship between neighbourhood violence and GWG outside the recommended range.MethodsWe used statewide vital statistics and health care utilization data from California for 2006–12 (n = 2 364 793) to examine the relationship of neighbourhood violence (quarters of zip‐code rates of homicide and assault) in the first 37 weeks of pregnancy with GWG (categorized using the Institute of Medicine's pregnancy weight gain guidelines). We estimated risk ratios (RR) and marginal risk differences, and analyses were stratified by maternal race/ethnicity and prepregnancy body mass index.ResultsResidence in neighbourhoods with the highest quartile of violence was associated with more excessive GWG (adjusted RR 1.04, 95% confidence interval CI 1.03, 1.05), compared to the lowest quartile of violence; violence was not associated with inadequate GWG. On the difference scale, this association translates to 2.3% more women gaining weight excessively rather than adequately if all women were exposed to high violence compared to if all women were exposed to low violence. Additionally, associations between neighbourhood violence and excessive GWG were larger in non‐white women than in white women.ConclusionsThese findings support the hypothesis that violence can affect weight gain during pregnancy, emphasizing the importance of neighbourhood violence as a public health issue.
Long‐term effects of prairie restoration on plant community structure and native population dynamics

Published: December 2016

AbstractThe key to restoring degraded grassland habitats is identifying feasible and effective techniques to reduce the negative impacts of exotic species and promote self‐sustaining native populations. It is often difficult to extend monitoring of restoration efforts to evaluate long‐term success, but doing so is essential to understanding how initial outcomes change over time. To assess how initial treatment effects persist, we revisited degraded patches of Pacific Northwest prairie habitat 6 years after experimental restoration efforts ceased. We evaluated plant community composition to determine the lasting effects of supplemental native seeding and disturbance treatments (burning, mowing, and herbicide to reduce exotic species). We tracked the persistence of seeded species and measured spread of their populations to evaluate suitability of species for restoration and the ability of the habitat to support native plant populations. We found that plots that received supplemental seeding continued to exhibit higher richness of native species than those left unseeded, and that both seeding and disturbance treatments could positively influence native species abundance over the long term. The initially observed effects of disturbance treatments on reducing exotic grass abundance had diminished, highlighting the importance of long‐term monitoring and ongoing control of exotic species. Nevertheless, these treatments significantly influenced the population trajectories of 4 out of 8 seeded native species. There was evidence of spatial advance of most seeded species. Results from extended monitoring confirm that dispersal limitation of native species and difficulties maintaining the reduction of exotic grasses continue to be major barriers to success in restoration of invaded grasslands.

Published: December 2016

AbstractStreet view (panoramic view) services have begun to shift from PC platforms to mobile smart devices. Considering the capabilities of smart terminal devices, a 360° spherical level of detail (LoD) model for mobile street view services that renders panoramic images on the inner surface of a sphere via LoD is proposed in this article. Panoramic images are segmented into tiles and organized in a pyramid tile structure for LoD rendering to improve the rendering efficiency of the proposed model. A projection model between panoramic images and the spherical surface is presented to map the panoramic tiles on the spherical graticule. A street view‐rendering algorithm of panoramic images is proposed with the rendering function of OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES). A street view service app running on Android, based on the proposed approach, is implemented to assess two aspects of the panoramic view model, namely visualization effect and efficiency. Experiment results reveal that the 360° spherical LoD model of the panoramic image can display 3D street view scenes better than the cubic panoramic view model. The proposed model also has an excellent 3D visualization effect and high‐efficiency rendering ability for mobile street view services. Therefore, it is applicable in large‐scale mobile street view services both online and offline and in augmented reality navigation.

<p><strong>ABSTRACT. </strong><em><strong>Background:</strong></em><strong><em> </em></strong>is necessary to consider which parameter should stablish the central incisor inclination. <em><strong>Purpose:</strong></em> The main objective of the present study was to appraise the possible concordance between the maxillary incisors inclination and the facial axis, the articular eminence inclination and the palatal functional inclination of the maxillary incisors. <em><strong>Methods:</strong></em><strong><em> </em></strong>We perform an observational cross sectional study with 315 cone beam tomographic images from 63 healthy patients. Then a single technician carried out all the measures. The statistical analysis included T test, regression, and intra-class correlation. <em><strong>Results:</strong></em> There´s no statistical correlation between the articular eminence angle and the maxillary incisor inclination, nonetheless the facial axis present a low correlation and the functional palatal surface of the maxillary incisors present a high correlation with the inclination of the upper incisors. <em><strong>Conclusion:</strong></em><strong><em> </em></strong>We conclude that the maxillary inclination could be answer by others functional factors such as neutral zone, occlusal function, and facial biotype except the articular eminence inclination. On the other hand, the facial axis should be taken into account in orthodontic planning treatment and could be a key factor to stablish the maxillary incisor inclination.</p>
