ObjectiveTo examine whether an association exists between exercise levels pre-pregnancy and pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy. Pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy has been associated with physical inactivity, a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes.MethodsWe used data from a population-based cohort study including 39 184 nulliparous women with a singleton pregnancy enrolled in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort study. Pre-pregnancy exercise frequency and types were assessed by questionnaire in pregnancy week 17. Pelvic girdle pain, defined as combined pain in the anterior pelvis and in the posterior pelvis bilaterally, was self-reported in pregnancy week 30. Multivariable Poisson regression estimated risks of pelvic girdle pain associated with pre-pregnancy exercise. We examined a dose–response association of prepregnancy exercise frequency using restricted cubic splines. A test for non-linearity was also conducted. Final models were adjusted for pre-pregnancy BMI, age, education, history of low back pain and history of depression.Results4069 women (10.4%) reported pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy and the prevalence among women who were non-exercisers prepregnancy was 12.5%. There was a non-linear association for pre-pregnancy exercise and risk of pelvic girdle pain (test for non-linearity, p=0.003). Compared to non-exercisers, women exercising 3–5 times weekly pre-pregnancy had a 14% lower risk of developing pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy (aRR 0.86, 95% CI 0.77 to 0.96). Taking part in high-impact exercises such as running, jogging, orienteering, ballgames, netball games and high-impact aerobics were associated with less risk of pelvic girdle pain.SummaryWomen who exercise regularly and engage in high-impact exercises before the first pregnancy may have a reduced risk of pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy.

Authors: Housely Alexandra , Branscum Paul , Cheney Marshall , Hofford Craig 
Published: October 2015

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify theory-based psychosocial and environmental determinants of parental monitoring practices related to child sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. Design: Cross-sectional design. Method: Data were obtained from a convenience sample of parents ( n = 270) with children attending an after-school programme (ages 7–12 years old), in a small, southwestern community in the USA. Parents were approached and asked to complete a valid and reliable survey based upon the Integrative Behavioural Model. Results: Using structural equation modelling, a final model proved to have a good fit (Comparative Fit Index = .986, Tucker–Lewis index = .947), and results indicated 28.5% of the variance of parental monitoring was explained by intentions, skills and the home environment, with 56.3% of the variance of intentions being explained by attitudes, injunctive norms and perceived behavioural control. Conclusion: Results suggest that the Integrative Behavioural Model offers a useful framework for predicting parental monitoring of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and can be useful when planning future health promotion programmes. Future researchers should consider applying the Integrative Behavioural Model to other obesogenic behaviours.
Does Medial Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With the Bone-Plug Technique Restore the Anatomic Location of the Native Medial Meniscus?
Authors: Kim Nam-Ki , Bin Seong-Il , Kim Jong-Min , Lee Chang-Rack 
Published: October 2015

Background: Previous work has shown the importance of restoring the normal structure of the native meniscus with meniscal allograft transplantation. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare the anatomic positions of the anterior horn and posterior horn between the preoperative medial meniscus and the postoperative meniscal allograft after medial meniscal allograft transplantation with the bone-plug technique. The hypothesis was that the bone-plug technique could restore the preoperative structure of the native medial meniscus. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Between December 1999 and December 2013, a total of 59 patients (49 male, 10 female) underwent medial meniscal allograft transplantation by use of the bone-plug technique. The anatomic positions of both horns in the native medial meniscus and in the meniscal allograft were measured via MRI. The percentage reference method was used to measure the locations of both horns. Results: On coronal MRI, the mean absolute distance of the posterior horn from the lateral border of the tibial plateau changed from 45.2 ± 3.3 to 48.1 ± 4.2 mm ( P < .05), and the percentage distance of the posterior horn changed from 59.6% to 63.0% ( P < .05). On sagittal MRI, the mean absolute distance of the posterior horn from the anterior reference point changed from 40.3 ± 3.0 to 42.0 ± 3.5 mm ( P < .05), and the mean percentage distance of the posterior horn changed from 76.5% to 79.4% ( P <.05). On coronal MRI, the mean absolute distance of the anterior horn from the lateral border of the tibial plateau changed from 41.3 ± 4.2 to 48.5 ± 5.6 mm ( P < .05), and the mean percentage distance of the anterior horn changed from 54.5% to 63.8% ( P < .05). On sagittal MRI, the mean absolute distance of the anterior horn from the anterior reference point changed from 5.5 ± 1.0 to 9.9 ± 2.9 mm ( P < .05), and the mean percentage distance of the anterior horn changed from 10.6% to 19.0% ( P < .05). Conclusion: Despite attempts to place the meniscal allograft in the same position as the native meniscus, the anatomic locations of both horns were shifted posteromedially compared with those of the native medial meniscus. There were significant differences, attributed to several limitations in the bone-plug technique, between the preoperative and postoperative values of both horns. However, the posterior horn showed a location change of <5 mm, on average, in both the coronal and sagittal planes, whereas the anterior horn showed a location change of ≥5 mm in the coronal plane but <5 mm in the sagittal plane.

Published: October 2015

Background: Many factors are involved in causing patellar instability or recurrent patellar dislocations. However, factors affecting the outcomes of anatomic medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction have not been fully documented. Purpose: To evaluate the rate of recurrent patellar instability after isolated MPFL reconstruction and to elucidate factors affecting the outcomes of isolated MPFL reconstruction using multivariable statistics. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 42 patients (44 knees) who underwent isolated, anatomic MPFL reconstruction using a semitendinosus autograft without any additional patellar stabilization procedures for treating recurrent patellar dislocations were included in this study. All patients were followed for more than 2 years; the mean follow-up period was 3.2 years (range, 2-9 years). Postoperative patellofemoral instability was diagnosed when the patient complained of recurrent patellar subluxations or dislocations or had a positive apprehension sign during follow-up. Preoperative radiographic findings were obtained using plain radiography and computed tomography. Femoral tunnel positions were assessed on postoperative radiographs. The strength of the relationship between postoperative patellofemoral instability and potential risk factors such as preoperative age, sex, body mass index, patellar type, sulcus angle, congruence angle, lateral tilt angle, patellar height, tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, degree of trochlear dysplasia, and femoral bone tunnel position were evaluated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: At follow-up, 2 knees had experienced a redislocation (4.5%). A positive apprehension sign was still evident in 8 knees (18.2%). Three factors, including the sulcus angle, the congruence angle, and trochlear dysplasia, were extracted by single linear regression analysis. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the sulcus angle (odds ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01-1.22; P = .04) and trochlear dysplasia (OR, 3.04; 95% CI, 1.39-6.63; P = .01) were associated with postoperative patellofemoral instability. Trochlear dysplasia was independently associated with postoperative patellofemoral instability by multivariable logistic regression analysis ( P < .05). An increased TT-TG distance exerted a significant effect on the outcomes of MPFL reconstruction, particularly in patients with type D trochlea. Conclusion: Severe trochlear dysplasia is the most important predictor of residual patellofemoral instability after isolated MPFL reconstruction. In addition, an increased TT-TG distance affected the outcomes in patients with type D trochlea. Additional patellar stabilization procedures should be considered for patients with severe trochlear dysplasia and an increased TT-TG distance.

Authors: Narayan Anand , Jallo George , Huisman Thierry AGM 
Published: October 2015

Introduction Ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) have been implicated as a source of the extraneural spread of a wide variety of central nervous system tumors. The purpose is to review the literature on peritoneal seeding of central nervous system tumors from VPS in the context of a case report. Methods Medline was searched using the phrase ‘peritoneal seeding ventriculoperitoneal shunt’. Inclusion criteria included patients (<18 years) with evidence of peritoneal seeding from VPS. Results Search of the literature revealed a final total of 22 articles and a total of 28 patients. Case report A 7-year-old boy presented with intermittent vomiting, headaches, photophobia; a 4.4 cm left thalamic mass (glioblastoma multiforme) was found. Occipital VPS catheters were placed for increasing hydrocephalus and the patient developed increased abdominal distention and pain. Computed tomography revealed diffuse ascites with carcinomatosis and the patient was diagnosed clinically with peritoneal metastases. Discussion Our case report and literature review revealed 28 cases of central nervous system tumors demonstrating evidence of extraneural spread associated with VPS in children in a wide variety of tumors. Larger studies are required to evaluate VPS as potential risk factors for peritoneal seeding and familiarity with potential VPS-related peritoneal seeding is important for diagnostic consideration.

Authors: Aflori Magdalena , Serbezeanu Diana , Carja Ionela-Daniela , Fortunato Giuseppino 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This study focused on the generation of gold nanoparticles on a 4,4′-oxydiphthalic anhydride/4,4′-diamino-4′′-hydroxytriphenylmethane-based polyimide matrix via electrospinning technique. Gold(III) chloride hydrate was used as gold precursor. The average fiber diameters of the hybrid fibers decreased up to 48% as compared with the one corresponding to the pristine polyimide fibers due to the increased Coulombic repulsions within the fibers. Gold nanoparticles were generated by thermally treating the gold salt-containing polyimde fibers. The gold nanoparticles were found to be more or less homogeneously dispersed into the polyimide fiber matrix.

Authors: Zhang Wei , Zhao Huiping , Lu Zhong , Chen Fengxi , Chen Rong 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Au@Pd core–shell nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via sequential reduction of Au(III) and Pd(II) ions with N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (BES) at room temperature. Their size and morphology could be changed by varying the BES concentration and pH value of the reaction system. The Au@Pd core–shell nanoparticles exhibited significantly higher catalytic activity for various Suzuki reactions than monometallic Pd or Au nanoparticles. The size-dependent catalytic activity was also observed, i.e., the Au@Pd core–shell nanoparticles of &lt;10 nm showed higher activity.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
The pH response of lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm)/N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] methacrylamide (DMAPM) copolymers was switched by combination with porous CaCO3 microbeads. Although LCST of the simple copolymer hydrogels increases with decreasing pH, the critical value of the copolymers trapped in the porous framework decreases with the pH drop. The inversion of the pH response is ascribed to change of the effect of DMAPM by the presence of an ionic inorganic surface.
Unspoken desires: Negotiating homosexuality in On Suffocation
Authors: Lim Xie Quin 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
On Suffocation examines queer realities by destabilizing the western construction of homosexuality and illuminating the harsh conditions that non-western gay men face. I examine how homosexual identity and desire are moulded and restricted by local culture in this film, through ‘unspoken ambiguity’, alongside a stern but vague legal system.

Possum: The fractured family and turning animal
Authors: Dolgopolov Greg 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Possum explores a series of dramatic contradictions between animal and human, the tame and the wild, family structure and unconstrained desires and between freedom and entrapment. An engagement with animality shapes the empathy of all involved. Interpreting the paradox of the trapped trapper sharpens the audience’s experience of the film’s depth.
Chora and the resurgence of the sensuous

Abstract
This article reads Kid as Little Man’s connection to chora, the primordial maternal space where language is experienced as a phenomenon akin to birdsongs and animals’ howls, through which Little Man is inscribed into the world’s wild rhythms of movement and sound, and explores how this connection distorts the cinematic space.
Entre o sonho e a realidade

Published: October 2015

Atualmente a temática da habitação tem sido amplamente discutida pela relevância que assume para a sociedade e, especialmente, para os países da America Latina, com significativos problemas sociais. O presente trabalho faz uma reflexão sobre a questão habitacional brasileira atual a partir de uma perspectiva histórica, examinando pontos convergentes e divergentes entre distintos períodos históricos. Apresenta–se um estudo do Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida – PMCMV em contraponto à política de habitação realizada pós 1964 e observa–se que a habitação social tem sido historicamente preterida frente aos interesses do capital imobiliário. O caso estudado aponta uma tendência à expansão urbana e periferização dos empreendimentos do PMCMV destinados às menores faixas de renda. Percebe–se que o modelo adotado pelo Programa repete antigas soluções nas quais a justificativa de redução do déficit habitacional a partir do estímulo ao setor da construção civil acaba por contribui para a manutenção dos padrões de cidade excludente. As avaliações aqui procedidas se dedicam a esta questão examinando a inserção dos empreendimentos na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre. Destaca–se o município de Gravataí que integra esta região e cuja experiência recente na aplicação dos ditames emanados da política federal, em exame, revela e apóia as afirmativas acima enunciadas.

Fusion Kalman filtration with k-step delay sharing pattern
Authors: Duda Zdzisław 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
A fusion hierarchical state filtration with k−step delay sharing pattern for a multisensor system is considered. A global state estimate depends on local state estimates determined by local nodes using local information. Local available information consists of local measurements and k−step delay global information - global estimate sent from a central node. Local estimates are transmitted to the central node to be fused. The synthesis of local and global filters is presented. It is shown that a fusion filtration with k−step delay sharing pattern is equivalent to the optimal centralized classical Kalman filtration when local measurements are transmitted to the center node and used to determine a global state estimate. It is proved that the k−step delay sharing pattern can reduce covariances of local state errors.

Authors: Mazur Michał , Niederliński Antoni 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
A new approach to solving realistic car assembly scheduling problems for mixed model assembly line is presented. It is proposed to decompose the problem into two subproblems: 1) a sequencing problem that generates admissible car sequences fulfilling capacity constraints for all car models in the production plan, 2) a scheduling problem that determines an admissible car sequence with shortest makespan. The details of this approach are illustrated by a simple numerical example.

Modeling and control of an unstable system using probabilistic fuzzy inference system
Authors: Sozhamadevi N. , Sathiyamoorthy S. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
A new type Fuzzy Inference System is proposed, a Probabilistic Fuzzy Inference system which model and minimizes the effects of statistical uncertainties. The blend of two different concepts, degree of truth and probability of truth in a unique framework leads to this new concept. This combination is carried out both in Fuzzy sets and Fuzzy rules, which gives rise to Probabilistic Fuzzy Sets and Probabilistic Fuzzy Rules. Introducing these probabilistic elements, a distinctive probabilistic fuzzy inference system is developed and this involves fuzzification, inference and output processing. This integrated approach accounts for all of the uncertainty like rule uncertainties and measurement uncertainties present in the systems and has led to the design which performs optimally after training. In this paper a Probabilistic Fuzzy Inference System is applied for modeling and control of a highly nonlinear, unstable system and also proved its effectiveness.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Paper presents the assessment of impact of heat treatment on durability in low-cycle fatigue conditions (under constant load) in castings made using post-production scrap of MAR-247 and IN-713C superalloys. Castings were obtained using modification and filtration methods. Additionally, casting made of MAR-247 were subjected to heat treatment consisting of solution treatment and subsequent aging. During low-cycle fatigue test the cyclic creep process were observed. It was demonstrated that the fine-grained samples have significantly higher durability in test conditions and , at the same time, lower values of plastic deformation to rupture Δϵpl. It has been also proven that durability of fine-grained MAR-247 samples can be further raised by about 60% using aforementioned heat treatment.
