Increasing brand recall for naming rights sponsorships
Authors: Donovan Robert J. , Anwar-McHenry Julia , Hernandez Aguilera Yolexis , Nicholas Amberlee , Kerrigan Simone 
Published: October 2016

Purpose
Maximising return on naming rights sponsorships is important for social marketing campaigns with limited funds. Naming rights allow the sponsor’s brand to be aligned with the event name in text and visual promotional materials. For visual displays, either the brand logo or the brand name in words can be aligned with the event name. As the Act–Belong–Commit mental health promotion campaign’s logo encapsulates the brand name, a study was conducted to assess the relative impact on recall of “Act–Belong–Commit” as part of a sponsored event name, when the logo was aligned with the event name versus when the brand name in only words was aligned with the event name.

Design/methodology/approach
An intercept survey was conducted with n = 112 adult university students. Participants were presented with one of the above two branding alignments for the sponsored event. The image was removed from view, a distracter question asked and participants were asked to recall the name of the event.

Findings
Recall of the Act–Belong–Commit brand in full as part of the name of the event was significantly and substantially greater for participants exposed to the words only alignment versus the logo alignment: 52 vs 7 per cent (p < 0.000).

Practical implications
Given these findings, the campaign has adopted the policy of using the words Act–Belong–Commit alongside the event name rather than the logo in future naming rights sponsorships.

Originality/value
It is recommended that other social marketing brands with similar brand/logo designs undertake research to ensure optimal return on naming rights sponsorships.
The participatory public library: the Nordic experience
Authors: Hvenegaard Rasmussen Casper 
Published: October 2016

Purpose
From collection to connection has been a buzzword in the library world for more than a decade. This catchy phrase indicates that users are seen not only as borrowers, but as active participants. The aim of this paper is to investigate and analyse three questions in relation to user participation in public libraries in a Nordic perspective. How can participation in public libraries be characterised? Why should libraries deal with user participation? What kinds of different user participation can be identified in public libraries?

Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses a selection of theoretical approaches and practical examples to obtain a varied understanding of user participation in public libraries. Research fields outside library and information science have developed a wide range of theoretical approaches on user participation. Examples from cultural policy, museum studies and participatory culture are selected to get a deeper understanding on participation in public libraries. The practical examples are chosen to illustrate the richness of different kinds of user participation in libraries.

Findings
There are six forms of active participation in libraries: volunteer programmes, interactive displays, workshops, co-creation, user-driven innovation and book clubs.

Originality/value
This paper is an overall synthesis of theoretical and practical aspects of user participation in public libraries. Furthermore, the paper challenges the deeply rooted assumption that participation in libraries takes place almost exclusively within digital contexts.
Evaluating fabrication feasibility and biomedical application potential of in situ 3D printing technology
Authors: Liu Yigong , Hamid Qudus , Snyder Jessica , Wang Chengyang , Sun Wei 
Published: October 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to present a solid freeform fabrication-based in situ three-dimensional (3D) printing method. This method enables simultaneous cross-linking alginate at ambient environmental conditions (temperature and pressure) for 3D-laden construct fabrication. The fabrication feasibility and potentials in biomedical applications were evaluated.

Design/methodology/approach
Fabrication feasibility was evaluated as the investigation of fabrication parameters on strut formability (the capability to fabricate a cylindrical strut in the same diameter as dispensing tip) and structural stability (the capability to hold the fabricated 3D-laden construct against mechanical disturbance). Potentials in biomedical application was evaluated as the investigation on structural integrity (the capability to preserve the fabricated 3D-laden construct in cell culture condition).

Findings
Strut formability can be achieved when the flow rate of alginate suspension and nozzle travel speed are set according to the dispensing tip size, and extruded alginate was cross-linked sufficiently. A range of cross-linking-related fabrication parameters was determined for sufficient cross-link. The structural stability and structural integrity were found to be controlled by alginate composition. An optimized setting of the alginate composition and the fabrication parameters was determined for the fabrication of a desired stable scaffold with structural integrity for 14 days.

Originality/value
This paper reports that in situ 3D printing is an efficient method for 3D-laden construct fabrication and its potentials in biomedical application.
A study on revolute joints in 3D-printed non-assembly mechanisms
Authors: Wei Xiangzhi , Tian Yaobin , Joneja Ajay 
Published: October 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore a new design for the journal of revolute joints that can improve the dynamic performance of 3D printed non-assembly mechanisms.

Design/methodology/approach
The design improves upon previous proposed designs that use drum-shaped journals in place of cylindrical ones. The authors introduce an innovative new worm-shaped journal. The authors also propose a systematic and efficient procedure to identify the best parameter values for defining the exact shape of the journal. Using three different mechanisms for the experiments, the paper constructs 3D computer-aided design (CAD) models using the design as well as cylindrical and drum-shaped designs. The parameters for the optimum geometry for each type of design are determined by dynamic simulation using the CAD system. Actual prototypes of the ideal designs are constructed using a commercial fused deposition modeling (FDM) machine for physical comparisons.

Findings
This paper shows that in simulations as well in physical models, the proposed design outperforms the previous designs significantly.

Research limitations/implications
This study was mainly focused on the FDM process, and the authors have not yet explored other processes. One limitation of this approach is that it requires the mechanism to be printed along the axial direction of the revolute joint.

Originality/value
This paper proposes a new design for the journal in 3D printed revolute joints. A clear advantage of the design is that it can easily be used to replace normal revolute joins in non-assembly models without affecting any other parts of the geometry. Therefore, with relatively little effort, the authors can print non-assembly mechanisms with improved dynamic performance.
Circumferentially oversewn inverted stapled anastomosis
Authors: Karam Charbel , Lord Sally , Gett Rohan , Meagher Alan P. 
Published: October 2016

BackgroundLeak rates of over 5% following anastomoses between the ileum and colon continue to be reported in large series and are associated with substantial morbidity and with mortality rates of 10–20%. In 1994, we began performing circumferentially oversewn inverted stapled anastomoses in patients undergoing ileo‐colic anastomoses or ileostomy closure. It has become increasingly apparent that this method is associated with a low risk of leakage, which we should report.MethodsThe anastomotic technique described was used in all patients undergoing ileo‐colic anastomosis or closure of ileostomy by surgeon 1 (1994–2015) and in all ileo‐colic anastomoses by surgeon 2 (2007–2015). All patients had a widely patent anastomosis constructed by two firings of a linear cutting stapler, as previously described. Additionally, the entire staple line was carefully oversewn with interrupted, inverting 4/0 polydioxanone sutures. Anastomotic leak was defined as a patient requiring re‐operation or radiological drainage.ResultsOne thousand and twelve patients underwent ileo‐colic anastomosis and 685 patients underwent closure of ileostomy by surgeon 1, and 165 patients underwent ileo‐colic anastomosis by surgeon 2. None of the 1862 patients required re‐operation or radiological drainage for a leak (event rate 0%, 95% confidence interval 0–0.2%). However, there were three possible contained leaks treated successfully conservatively. The time taken to perform the actual anastomosis was measured in the last 30 ileo‐colic resections. The median time was 42 min.ConclusionWhile this method may well be too slow to gain widespread adoption, we hope this report encourages increased research into finding techniques with similar low leak rates.
Restoring species‐rich meadow by means of turf transplantation: long‐term colonization of ex‐arable land
Authors: Mudrák Ondřej , Fajmon Karel , Jongepierová Ivana , Doležal Jiří 
Published: October 2016

AbstractQuestionDo transplanted turfs of preserved meadow vegetation enrich ex‐arable land with species and promote meadow restoration? If so, can this ecologically non‐random process be predicted by plant functional traits? Are transplanted turfs stable over time while preserving their high species richness or do they change in composition, for instance, due to weeds expanding from the surrounding ex‐arable land?MethodsIn the experiment, 25 meadow turfs 40 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm in size were transplanted to ex‐arable land. Species composition and cover were monitored in the transferred turfs and their surroundings in three 40 cm × 40 cm plots positioned in a row (transplant, adjacent and distant surrounding area) for a period of 12 yrs.LocationBílé Karpaty Mts., SE Czech Republic.ResultsWith the turfs, 80 species were transferred, 53 of which were recorded in the turf surrounding ex‐arable land. After 9 yrs, the number of species (on average 16 per plot) did not differ between the turf and its surroundings. Most of these species had been transferred and are typical of the local meadow vegetation, making up most of the plant cover. Weedy species, originally abundant on the ex‐arable land, did not penetrate the turf and retreated with time. The species composition converged between the turf and its surroundings, but it also changed from that of the turf source meadow. This was mainly due to the expansion of the strongly competitive grass Brachypodium pinnatum at the expense of Bromus erectus. The species that spread best to the arable land had a high leaf dry matter content. Species with the best performance in the turf had high ability for lateral clonal spread.ConclusionTurf transplantation promoted the establishment of target meadow species on ex‐arable land and supported restoration of meadow vegetation, but plant species composition changed from the turf source meadow, and expansion of target species from the turf into the surrounding area required a long time period.
32 years of experience with CO2‐LASER‐assisted treatment for Zenker's Diverticulum – an update of 227 patients treated in Kiel
Authors: Hoffmann M. , Fazel A. , Mews K.‐G. , Ambrosch P. 
Published: October 2016

ObjectivesTo underline the value of the microendoscopic CO2‐LASER‐assisted treatment (MEDCO2) for Zenker's diverticulum by investigating a large patient cohort treated in a single medical centre.DesignRetrospective cohort study of consecutive patients.SettingDepartment of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Christian‐Albrechts‐University Kiel, Germany.ParticipantsA total of 227 patients with Zenker's diverticulum were treated by MEDCO2, and the results were compared with those reported in the literature for the open transcervical approach (OTA) and the endoscopic staple‐assisted oesophagodiverticulostomy (ESED).Outcome measurementsData assessment regarding preoperative symptoms, perioperative management, morbidity, mortality and longtime results. Comparison of results with data from the literature regarding MEDCO2, ESED and OTA.ResultsOperation duration: 25 min median; morbidity: 4.7%; mortality: 0%; mediastinitis: 0.9%; hospitalisation: 7 days; feeding tube dependency: 4 days; recurrence rate: 6.1%. Rise of body temperature above 38°C and 39°C in 36.7% and 12.2% of cases on first postoperative day, respectively.ConclusionsThe results identify MEDCO2 as superior in comparison with ESED and OTA concerning the treatment for Zenker's diverticulum especially in terms of excellent long‐term functional results and a low morbidity and mortality. The short operation time qualifies MEDCO2 as specifically suitable for the treatment of the characteristic patient cohort with Zenker's diverticulum, namely the elderly, whereas OTA should be reserved for cases with sophisticated or impossible endoscopic exposure of the pouch. The occurrence of perioperative fever can be managed with a systemic antibiotic and antipyretic medication. Although a mediastinitis as major complication is a rare event, the early introduction of its diagnosis with CT scans and consecutive therapy including thoracotomies can be lifesaving.

Rationale18F‐FDG‐PET/CT has a potential role in the early detection of haemophilic arthritis, at a time when treatment may still avoid further joint degeneration. The purposes of this pilot study were to determine the ability of 18F‐FDG‐PET/CT to detect inflammatory changes associated with blood‐induced arthropathy in knees of a rabbit model.MethodsTen juvenile rabbits were imaged at baseline and weeks 5 and 17 post intraarticular autologous blood injections (ABI). Five rabbits in group 1 (G1) had ABI into the same knee joint every 2 weeks (total, eight injections). Five rabbits in group 2 (G2) had only two injections into the same knee, at weeks 5 and 17. Images were assessed visually and semi‐quantitatively by measuring maximal standardized uptake values (SUVmax) and standardized uptake ratio (SUR = SUVmax in affected knee/SUVmax in non‐affected knee).ResultsMore rabbits in G1 than G2 presented with positive chronic inflammatory synovial scores at week 17. Mean iron staining scores in injected knees were greater for G1 than for G2 (P = 0.049). No increased uptake was identified in the injected knees in any of the rabbits at baseline or at week 5. At week 17, all G1 rabbits demonstrated increased uptake in their affected knees with higher mean SUVmax (1.5) than normal knees (1.0) (P < 0.02). None of the G2 rabbits showed asymmetric increased uptake. The SUR of G1 was higher at week 17 compared to baseline (P < 0.01) and week 5 (P < 0.01). The SUR at week 17 was higher for G1 than for G2 (1.13) rabbits (P < 0.01).Conclusion18F‐FDG‐PET is able to detect the inflammatory changes associated with haemophilic arthropathy in this experimental model.

AimsImmunohistochemistry for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins is being increasingly used to examine MMR status in tumours. The aim of the present article was to report the case of a colon cancer patient with Lynch syndrome who showed unusual cytoplasmic MMR protein localization.Methods and resultsHistologically, the colon cancer was diagnosed as medullary carcinoma associated with prominent tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes and a Crohn's‐like reaction. Immunohistochemistry revealed cytoplasmic and nuclear expression of MSH2 in non‐neoplastic cells, and exclusively cytoplasmic expression in tumour cells. MSH6 expression was nuclear in non‐neoplastic cells, but was lost in tumour cells. Nuclear expression of MLH1 and PMS2 was retained in both non‐neoplastic and tumour cells. The tumour was microsatellite instability‐high, which is indicative of defective MMR function. A subsequent germline mutation analysis identified a genomic deletion spanning the 3′ region of EPCAM and the 5′ region of MSH2, resulting in an in‐frame fusion of EPCAM and MSH2.ConclusionsThe unusual cytoplasmic immunoreactivity of MSH2 was considered to be attributable to the non‐functional EPCAM–MSH2 fusion product. The present case illustrates that not only loss of expression, but also abnormal localization, of MMR proteins is indicative of a defective MMR system.

Published: October 2016

SummaryBackgroundPlasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) is the primary inhibitor of the endogenous fibrinolytic system and is known to be increased in obesity, insulin resistance and non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We previously demonstrated that PAI‐1 levels were closely related to the amount of hepatic steatosis in children.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to characterize plasma PAI‐1 in relationship to severity of inflammation and fibrosis, as well as to plasma lipids in children with NAFLD.MethodsIn 44 children with NAFLD, plasma PAI‐1 levels and lipids were measured at the time of a liver biopsy. Hepatic histological features were systematically scored. Trend analysis was applied to determine the correlation of plasma PAI‐1 levels with lipid markers for cardiovascular disease and with the staging of histological features in the liver.ResultsWe found that plasma PAI‐1 levels were significantly increased in children with increased severity of steatosis, lobular inflammation, ballooning and fibrosis. Furthermore, PAI‐1 was strongly correlated with plasma lipids and insulin resistance indices.ConclusionsPAI‐1 appears to be tightly related to both histologic severity of NAFLD as well as systemic features of the disease including insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. PAI‐1 may be a mediator of disease progression and future cardiovascular complications in children with NAFLD.
A local search algorithm for finding optimal transit routes configuration with elastic demand
Authors: Zarrinmehr Amirali , Saffarzadeh Mahmoud , Seyedabrishami Seyedehsan 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper proposes a new local search algorithm for finding the optimal configuration of subroutes from a set of candidate transit routes in a transportation network. It is intended to maximize the transit ridership while holding the budget constraint. In each iteration of the algorithm, route segments that are likely to absorb more transit passengers are added to the configuration and less‐contributing segments are removed, instead. A path‐based model with elastic demand is applied for traffic assignment problem. The algorithm takes advantage of the equilibrium paths information to speed up the calculations for emerging configurations. A numerical experiment on Sioux‐Falls network indicates that the proposed algorithm can achieve high‐quality solutions at different levels of budget. Also, the run‐time and performance of the algorithm are reported over a large problem instance of the Chicago sketch network with 55 artificial candidate routes.

Voltage Measurement During Radiofrequency DeliveryIntroductionCurrent methods for measuring voltage during radiofrequency (RF) ablation (RFA) necessitate turning off the ablation catheter. If voltage could be accurately read without signal attenuation during RFA, turning off the catheter would be unnecessary, allowing continuous ablation. We evaluated the accuracy of the Thermocool SMARTTOUCH catheter for measuring voltage while RF traverses the catheter.Methods and ResultsWe studied 26 patients undergoing RFA for arrhythmias. A 7.5F SMARTTOUCH catheter was used for sensing voltage and performing RFA. Data were collected from the Carto‐3 3‐dimensional mapping system. Voltages were measured during ablation (RF‐ON) and immediately before or after ablation (RF‐OFF). In evaluating the accuracy of RF‐ON measurements, we utilized the RF‐OFF measure as the gold standard.We measured 465 voltage signals. The median values were 0.2900 and 0.3100 for RF‐ON and RF‐OFF, respectively. Wilcoxon signed rank testing showed no significant difference in these values (P = 0.608). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.96, indicating that voltage measurements were similarly accurate during RF‐OFF versus RF‐ON. Five patients had baseline atrial fibrillation (AF), for whom 82 ablation points were measured; 383 additional ablation points were measured for the remaining patients. The voltages measured during RF‐ON versus RF‐OFF were similar in the presence of AF (P = 0.800) versus non‐AF rhythm (P = 0.456) (ICC, 0.96 for both).ConclusionVoltage signal measurement was similarly accurate during RF‐ON versus RF‐OFF independent of baseline rhythm. Physicians should consider not turning off the SMARTTOUCH ablation catheter when measuring voltage during RFA.

SummaryBackgroundMelasma's high prevalence and profound psychological impact on patients necessitate efficacious, economical, and safe therapeutic interventions. Adjunctive therapies such as tranexamic acid (TA) can enhance the therapeutic effect of standard treatments like hydroquinone 4% cream (HQ).ObjectiveTo conduct an assessor‐ and analyst‐blinded, parallel, superiority, randomized controlled trial to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of oral TA plus HQ vs. HQ alone in melasma treatment.Materials and MethodsA total of 100 eligible patients with symmetric facial melasma were assigned to the intervention (250 mg thrice daily oral TA plus HQ 4% cream nightly) or the control group (HQ 4% cream only). Following 3 months of treatment, MASI (melasma area and severity index) score reduction was calculated as the primary outcome measure. After a 3‐month follow‐up, relapse was also assessed.ResultsA total of 88 patients completed the study. At the end of the 6‐month period, the overall mean of the MASI score in the intervention group was 1.8 points lower than in the controls (95% confidence interval, 0.36–3.24, P = 0.015) but the relapse rate was not significantly different (30% vs. 26% in the treatment vs. control group, respectively). Side effect occurrence was also similar, but treatment satisfaction was higher in the intervention group than the controls, with 82.2% vs. 34.95 of patients reporting moderate‐to‐complete satisfaction, respectively (P < 0.001).ConclusionsOral TA can enhance the efficacy of hydroquinone 4% cream in melasma treatment, but the high incidence of relapse suggests that treatment effects may be temporary, warranting more investigation.
