Published: August 2017

BackgroundTobacco control mass media campaigns are cost-effective in reducing tobacco consumption in high-income countries, but similar evidence from low-income countries is limited. An evaluation of a 2009 smokeless tobacco control mass media campaign in India provided an opportunity to test its cost-effectiveness.MethodsCampaign evaluation data from a nationally representative household survey of 2898 smokeless tobacco users were compared with campaign costs in a standard cost-effectiveness methodology. Costs and effects of the Surgeon campaign were compared with the status quo to calculate the cost per campaign-attributable benefit, including quit attempts, permanent quits and tobacco-related deaths averted. Sensitivity analyses at varied CIs and tobacco-related mortality risk were conducted.ResultsThe Surgeon campaign was found to be highly cost-effective. It successfully generated 17 259 148 additional quit attempts, 431 479 permanent quits and 120 814 deaths averted. The cost per benefit was US$0.06 per quit attempt, US$2.6 per permanent quit and US$9.2 per death averted. The campaign continued to be cost-effective in sensitivity analyses.ConclusionThis study suggests that tobacco control mass media campaigns can be cost-effective and economically justified in low-income and middle-income countries. It holds significant policy implications, calling for sustained investment in evidence-based mass media campaigns as part of a comprehensive tobacco control strategy.

Objective—

Despite the early promising results of
18
F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for assessment of vessel wall inflammation, its accuracy in prospective identification of vulnerable plaques has remained limited. Additionally, previous studies have indicated that
18
F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake alone may not allow for accurate identification of specific macrophage activation states. We aimed to determine whether combined measurement of glucose and glutamine accumulation—the 2 most important bioenergetic substrates for macrophages—improves the distinction of macrophage inflammatory states and can be utilized to image atherosclerosis.

Approach and Results—

Murine peritoneal macrophages (MΦ) were activated ex vivo into proinflammatory states with either lipopolysaccharide (MΦ
LPS
) or interferon-γ+tumor necrosis factor-α (MΦ
IFN-γ+TNF-α
). An alternative polarization phenotype was induced with interleukin-4 (MΦ
IL-4
). The pronounced increase in 2-deoxyglucose uptake distinguishes MΦ
LPS
from MΦ
IFN-γ+TNF-α
, MΦ
IL-4
, and unstimulated macrophages (MΦ
0
). Despite having comparable levels of 2-deoxyglucose accumulation, MΦ
IL-4
can be distinguished from both MΦ
IFN-γ+TNF-α
and MΦ
0
based on the enhanced glutamine accumulation, which was associated with increased expression of a glutamine transporter,
Slc1a5
. Ex vivo autoradiography experiments demonstrated distinct and heterogenous patterns of
18
F-fluorodeoxyglucose and
14
C-glutamine accumulation in atherosclerotic lesions of low-density lipoprotein receptor-null mice fed a high-fat diet.

Conclusions—
Combined assessment of glutamine and 2-deoxyglucose accumulation improves the ex vivo identification of macrophage activation states. Combined ex vivo metabolic imaging demonstrates heterogenous and distinct patterns of substrate accumulation in atherosclerotic lesions. Further studies are required to define the in vivo significance of glutamine uptake in atherosclerosis and its potential application in identification of vulnerable plaques.
Storm-Based Probabilistic Hail Forecasting with Machine Learning Applied to Convection-Allowing Ensembles

Published: August 2017

Abstract
Forecasting severe hail accurately requires predicting how well atmospheric conditions support the development of thunderstorms, the growth of large hail, and the minimal loss of hail mass to melting before reaching the surface. Existing hail forecasting techniques incorporate information about these processes from proximity soundings and numerical weather prediction models, but they make many simplifying assumptions, are sensitive to differences in numerical model configuration, and are often not calibrated to observations. In this paper a storm-based probabilistic machine learning hail forecasting method is developed to overcome the deficiencies of existing methods. An object identification and tracking algorithm locates potential hailstorms in convection-allowing model output and gridded radar data. Forecast storms are matched with observed storms to determine hail occurrence and the parameters of the radar-estimated hail size distribution. The database of forecast storms contains information about storm properties and the conditions of the prestorm environment. Machine learning models are used to synthesize that information to predict the probability of a storm producing hail and the radar-estimated hail size distribution parameters for each forecast storm. Forecasts from the machine learning models are produced using two convection-allowing ensemble systems and the results are compared to other hail forecasting methods. The machine learning forecasts have a higher critical success index (CSI) at most probability thresholds and greater reliability for predicting both severe and significant hail.

Published: August 2017

Background: Persons with serious mental illnesses (SMI) can lead productive lives, and the majority want to work. Mental health providers can play an important role in helping their clients gain and maintain employment. Aims: The Provider Survey was developed to shed additional light on providers’ views toward employment and recovery, and the utilization of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) supported employment (SE) services for people with SMI. Methods: A total of 1,306 providers of the State of Connecticut participated in the survey. Four main questions were addressed in the survey: what do providers do, what do they view as most important regarding employment, what are their views when it comes to what promotes recovery and what barriers do providers face in attempting to refer their clients to IPS services. Results: Referring clients to additional supports was rated as the most important aspect of what providers do; encouragement was rated as the most important component to enable clients in gaining and maintaining employment; agency, belonging and medical care were rated as most important in promoting recovery; and expectations that clients would be discriminated against at work was the most important barrier to referring clients for SE. Also, employment and finances were seen as the least important factors in promoting the recovery of people with SMI. Conclusion: This survey suggests that one reason that more clients may not be referred to IPS programs is that clinicians do not view employment or financial self-sufficiency as important factors in recovery, further compounding the historical view that these persons are unable to, and uninterested in, working. Such findings call for a provider education and training campaign to highlight the fact that most persons with SMI – like most persons in general – do want to work and, with supports, most are capable of doing so.

Published: August 2017

Objectives: We examined the survival rates after diagnosis of HIV infection stage 3 (AIDS) in the United States by population density area of residence at diagnosis. Methods: We used data from the National HIV Surveillance System to calculate survival rates among people aged ≥13 with HIV infection stage 3 (AIDS) diagnosed from 2005 through 2010. We determined survival rates for more than 12, 24, and 36 months after diagnosis; overall and by demographic characteristics; and across 3 population density area categories (large metropolitan statistical areas [MSAs, ≥500 000 people], small-to-medium MSAs [50 000 to 499 999 people], and nonmetropolitan areas [<50 000 people]). Results: The survival rates for more than 12, 24, and 36 months after diagnosis were highest among people residing in large MSAs (90.2%, 87.2%, and 84.9%, respectively) and lowest among people residing in nonmetropolitan areas (87.3%, 84.1%, and 81.4%, respectively). With a few exceptions, survival rates were lower in those residing in nonmetropolitan areas than those residing in large MSAs and small-to-medium MSAs across most subgroups by age at diagnosis, race/ethnicity, sex, transmission category, region of residence, and year of diagnosis. Between 2005 and 2010, significant year-to-year increases occurred in the proportion of people surviving more than 36 months after diagnosis across all 3 population density area categories (estimated annual percentage change: large MSAs [0.88; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.56-1.20]; small-to-medium MSAs [0.94; 95% CI, 0.06-1.83]; and nonmetropolitan areas [1.26; 95% CI, 0.07-2.46]). Conclusions: Although survival rates for those with HIV infection stage 3 (AIDS) improved in all 3 population density area categories, efforts to remove barriers to care and promote treatment adherence in nonmetropolitan areas will be necessary to eliminate survival disparities.

Published: August 2017

Research on the association between chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations has led to discordant results. Furthermore, the impact of chronic bronchitis on mortality in COPD subjects is unclear.Within the Rotterdam Study, a population-based cohort study of subjects aged ≥45 years, chronic bronchitis was defined as having a productive cough for ≥3 months per year for two consecutive years. Linear, logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard models were adjusted for age, sex and pack-years.Out of 972 included COPD subjects, 752 had no chronic phlegm production (CB−) and 220 had chronic phlegm production, of whom 172 met the definition of chronic bronchitis (CB+). CB+subjects were older, more frequently current smokers and had more pack-years than CB−subjects. During a median 6.5 years of follow-up, CB+subjects had greater decline in lung function (−38 mL·year−1, 95% CI −61.7–−14.6; p=0.024). CB+subjects had an increased risk of frequent exacerbations (OR 4.0, 95% CI 2.7–5.9; p<0.001). In females, survival was significantly worse in CB+subjects compared to CB−subjects. Regarding cause-specific mortality, CB+subjects had an increased risk of respiratory mortality (hazard ratio 2.16, 95% CI 1.12–4.17; p=0.002).COPD subjects with chronic bronchitis have an increased risk of exacerbations and respiratory mortality compared to COPD subjects without chronic phlegm production.
Simple Contracts to Assure Supply Under Noncontractible Capacity and Asymmetric Cost Information
Authors: Bolandifar Ehsan , Feng Tianjun , Zhang Fuqiang 
Published: August 2017

This paper studies a global sourcing problem where a buyer sources a product from a supplier to satisfy uncertain market demand. With the increasing length and complexity of today’s global supply chains, the buyer may face two issues when designing the sourcing contract: adverse selection (i.e., the supplier’s cost structure is private information) and noncontractible capacity (i.e., the supplier’s capacity investment is not contractible). We show that noncontractible capacity does not necessarily lead to a lower profit for the buyer, but it may require a more complex contract format to achieve the optimal (second-best) profit. Interestingly, we find that a single, linear contract (or a two-part tariff) could be optimal for the buyer under certain conditions. Even when such a contract is suboptimal, it can deliver close-to-optimal profit for the buyer for a wide range of situations. These findings indicate that the value of using a complex menu of contracts is negligible in such a supply chain setting. A simple two-part tariff is an attractive option for buyers whose goal is to ensure supply while facing both cost uncertainty and contractibility issues. The paper also provides a new explanation for the prevalence of such simple contracts in practice. The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/msom.2017.0628 .

Published: August 2017

The Two for One Twister (TFO) machine emits very disturbing noise and the noise exposes the workers while performing their tasks. The noise also lead to works stress. So, it is necessary to determine the relationship between the noise and work stress of TFO machine operators. This study was conducted by measuring the noise of TFO engine with Enviro-meter and then correlating the noise and work stress with SPSS 16 software. Spearman correlation test results showed that a strong correlation between noise with work stress (p value = 0.042). In order to reduce the noise level that will decrease stress for workers, Fault Tree Analysis was conducted to determine the source of the noise. Based on the qualitative analysis of FTA, the causes of the noise were as follows: the lubricating oil was not applied, seal of oil valve leaked, bearing was not replaced (2 years economic life), the traveler was not replaced (10 days economic life), and the Doubling machine was troubled. Based on the quantitative analysis of the probability of job stress of TFO machine operator due to noise TFO machines from a known probability of 0.041, hence, the system was feasible for use.
„… wie im Himmel so auf Erden“ Die räumlichen Implikationen der Vergebungsbitte des matthäischen Vaterunsers
Authors: Blumenthal Christian 
Published: August 2017

Abstract:
The question of the connection between human and divine forgiveness in the fifth petition of the Matthean version of the Lord’s Prayer has been widely discussed. The specific structuring function of this petition, however, has not yet been taken seriously into consideration. This study attempts to remedy this interpretative deficiency. It will be shown that this petition extends the prayer for an alignment of earthly and heavenly reality in Mt 6:10. Because in Mt 6:12 the praying person ascribes to himself the preceding act of forgiveness, he takes responsibility for the realization of this process of alignment “on earth as it is in heaven.”
Ein Rausch und seine Folgen. Parallelen zwischen der Erzählung von Noah als Weinbauer (Gen 9,20–27) und ihren Auslegungstraditionen und der Bilha-Episode in TestRub 3,11–15
Authors: Opferkuch Stefan 
Published: August 2017

Abstract:
It is a matter of debate whether Bilha’s drunkenness in TestRub 3,13 is to be seen as an excuse for her being naked or as a form of misbehavior. The present article seeks to solve this problem by showing that the author of TestRub modeled his account of Gen 35,22a after Early Jewish and Rabbinic traditions concerning the story of Noah in the vineyard (Gen 9,20–27). It is argued that the parallels between the two stories and ancient traditions about Noah’s drunkenness and nakedness, where Noah’s conduct is often considered negatively, suggest that Bilha’s behavior in TestRub 3,11–15 is to be considered negatively as well.
Szintaktikai sértések és a sértés nyelvtani elemei közötti távolság hatásának vizsgálata a magyar nyelvben
Authors: Kocsis Zsuzsanna , Hajdu Botond , Orosz Gábor , Winkler István , Honbolygó Ferenc 
Published: August 2017

Háttér és célok
A szövegek megértéséhez elengedhetetlen a nyelvtani szerkezet feldolgozása. Kísérletünkben a helytelen nyelvtani szerkezet (szintaktika) feldolgozása során megjelenő eseményhez kötött agyi potenciálokat (EAP) vizsgáltuk, mely általában két komponensben jelenik meg: a bal anterior negativitás (LAN) és a P600. A LAN-t a morfoszintaktikai szabálysértés váltja ki. A P600-at a nyelvtani szerkezeti újrafeldolgozásához kötik, azaz nyelvtanilag helytelen, bonyolult vagy többértelmű információ feldolgozásakor jelenik meg. A többet vizsgált nyelvekkel ellentétben a magyar nyelvben az alany-állítmány egyeztetés sértése mellett a tárgy-állítmány egyeztetés sértése is megvalósítható. Az alany-állítmány egyeztetési sértés mellett két olyan sértést hoztunk létre, melyek az alany és a tárgy reorganizációját vonják maguk után: a „-t” tárgyrag elhagyásával a tárgyról, illetve annak az alanyhoz toldásával. Kutatásunkban arra kerestük a választ, hogy az alany-tárgy reorganizációs sértések eseteiben is megjelennek-e a tipikus EAP-komponensek, illetve az alany-állítmány sértéshez hasonló mintázatot mutatnak-e. Emellett arra is választ szerettünk volna kapni, hogy az egyeztetést meghatározó szavak közötti távolság befolyásolja-e ezeket komponenseket.

Módszer
20 egészséges felnőtt elektroenkefalográfiás vizsgálata során egy képernyőn szavanként jelentek meg a mondatok, melyeknek fele nyelvtanilag helyes, fele pedig helytelen volt. Háromféle sértést alkalmaztunk, és sértéseket meghatározó szavak közötti távolság 1–11 szó lehetett.

Eredmények
A három típusú sértés eltérő LAN-P600 mintázatot eredményezett, emellett a kétféle reorganizációs sértés sem mutatott egyforma EAP-mintázatot. Továbbá a nyelvtani elemzőrendszer érzékeny a sértést meghatározó két szó közötti távolságra.
A reziliencia értelmezésének lehetőségei: Kihívások és nehézségek
Authors: Szabó Dóra Fanni 
Published: August 2017

Mind gyakrabban alkalmazott terminus a reziliencia (rugalmasság), amely rendszerfogalom mivolta következtében gyorsan terjed a tudományágak között új kutatási területeket és célokat létrehozva. A fogalmat a társadalomtudományok terén a rizikós körülményekkel, nehézségekkel sikeresen megküzdő gyermekek és felnőttek esetében alkalmazzák. A jelenség két alapkritériumának, a rizikónak és a kedvező fejlődési kimenetelnek a vizsgálata, valamint a hátterében álló okok azonosítása intenzíven kutatott területté vált. A nemzetközi kutatások eredményeinek megismerése, a nézőpont, valamint a módszerek felhasználása és hazai vizsgálatok kivitelezése szükségszerű. Azonban a témával foglalkozó jelentős hazai tanulmányok száma igen csekély (Békés, 2002; Ribiczey, 2008; Szokoszky és V. Komlósi, 2015).
A jelenség komplexitása és jelentéstartalmának tisztázatlansága következtében számos tényezőt figyelembe kell venni a kutatások megbízhatóvá tételéhez. A tanulmány célja ezeknek a tényezőknek a számbavétele annak érdekében, hogy hozzájáruljon a hazai kutatások megtervezéséhez és kivitelezéséhez.
A kutatások felépítését és a kapott eredmények általánosíthatóságát nagyban meghatározza a reziliencia definíciója, ezért a tanulmány a fogalom meghatározásának sokféleségéből indul ki. Ezt követően a jelenség két alapkritériumának az értelmezésében és értékelésében szerepet játszó körülményeket járja körbe, valamint kitér az értékelésükhöz felhasználható módszerek összegzésére. Végül bemutatja a kedvező fejlődési kimenetel létrejöttéhez feltétlen szükséges erősségek, erőforrások és protektív tényezők koncepciójának alapfogalmait, valamint a reziliencia változókra és személyekre fókuszáló modelljeit.
