Allelic variation in 5-HTTLPR and the effects of citalopram on the emotional neural network
Authors: Ma Yina , Li Bingfeng , Wang Chenbo , Zhang Wenxia , Rao Yi , Han Shihui 
Published: March 2015

BackgroundSelective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as citalopram, which selectively block serotonin transporter (5-HTT) activity, are widely used in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. Numerous neuroimaging studies have examined the effects of SSRIs on emotional processes. However, there are considerable inter-individual differences in SSRI effect, and a recent meta-analysis further revealed discrepant effects of acute SSRI administration on neural responses to negative emotions in healthy adults.AimsWe examined how a variant of the serotonin-transporter polymorphism (5-HTTLPR), which affects the expression and function of 5-HTT, influenced the acute effects of an SSRI (citalopram) on emotion-related brain activity in healthy adults.MethodCombining genetic neuroimaging, pharmacological technique and a psychological paradigm of emotion recognition, we scanned the short/short (s/s) and long/long (l/l) variants of 5-HTTLPR during perception of fearful, happy and neutral facial expressions after the acute administration of an SSRI (i.e. 30mg citalopram administered orally) or placebo administration.ResultsWe found that 5-HTTLPR modulated the acute effects of citalopram on neural responses to negative emotions. Specifically, relative to placebo, citalopram increased amygdala and insula activity in l/l but not s/s homozygotes during perception of fearful faces. Similar analyses of brain activity in response to happy faces did not show any significant effects.ConclusionsOur combined pharmacogenetic and functional imaging results provide a neurogenetic mechanism for discrepant acute effects of SSRIs.
Optimisation as a Tool for Gaining Insight: An Application to the Built Environment
Authors: Fraga Eric S , Salhi Abdellah , Zhang Di , Papageorgiou Lazaros G 
Published: March 2015

The design of heating systems for dwellings using new technologies, or new versions of old technologies, requires the ability to predict the temperatures in a dwelling. The temperature behaviour can be modelled, typically by differential equations which incorporate thermal driving forces and the thermal inertia of a dwelling. The development and characterisation of these models is usually based on fitting data accumulated over sufficient time to capture the behaviour of the dwelling under different conditions (summer, winter, etc.). Model fitting relies on assumptions about the behaviour of the system. Optimisation can be used to examine these assumptions and gain insight into this behaviour. This paper describes the application of a nature inspired algorithm, known as the Plant Propagation Algorithm, a variant of a Variable Neighbourhood Search algorithm, to the problem of modelling a dwelling heated by an air source heat pump. The algorithm is evaluated using different population evolution strategies and implemented using a simple parallel computing paradigm on a multi-core desktop system. The results are used to identify potential sources of missing data which could explain the observed behaviour of the dwelling.
Using the methods of psychological well-being by teachers of physical education in higher education
Authors: Копылов Сергей , Kopylov Sergey , Герасимова Ирина , Gerasimova Irina 
Published: March 2015

The article examines the nature and the main manifestations of the psychological component of physical training in the context of social and psychological aspects of successful management in the education system. In particular, attention is paid to the phenomenon of psychological well-being of the person, the factors that influence the development of mental and psychophysical abilities. According to the authors, the determining factor for creating peace of mind for students in higher education is emotional and ethical attitudes. As evidence supporting the author&#180;s position illustrated are the basic components of both psychological well-being and personal development of a human: independence (autonomy), the ability to change the environment, characterized by processes such as the pursuit of perfection, training, readiness for a new, positive interpersonal relationships, self-acceptance, purpose in life. In this paper, from a sociological point of view discussed is the possibility of using the methods employed in the process of physical training to create a favorable psychological and moral climate in the classroom for physical education and management. As a result of these techniques physical training acquires a productive nature, and physical education becomes a managed process.
It is proved that the formation of a favorable psychological climate in the team involves the distribution of standard roles among its participants. Thus, in the course of exercise are determined and allocated roles such as «informal leader», «systematizer» and «harmonizer», which allows using all possible vectors of psychological modality.
The article outlines the prospects of using the author&#180;s concept. Thus, the use of the above methods in the article is not limited to the formation of emotional and ethical relations and a suitable psychological climate in the group; and directed, ultimately, at the formation of the whole person with harmonious spiritual and physical inner organization.
Jazz as individual expression: An analysis of The Fabulous Baker Boys soundtrack
Authors: Biggs Adam 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) by Kloves is a fictional account of a frustrated sibling piano duo who, in order to liven up their act, hire a singer. As well as a portrayal of sibling rivalry, the film is a study of the working jazz musician and the suppression and expression of individual identity. The film’s soundtrack, arranged, composed and performed by jazz pianist Dave Grusin, uses jazz standards and original thematic compositions that work as ‘ambi-diegetic cinemusical moments’ (Holbrook), which provide improvisatory contexts for the main character’s emerging individuality and his relationships with the other characters. This article identifies those compositions and using transcriptions, analyses the score in detail, revealing the melodic, harmonic, structural and improvisatory devices Grusin uses to convey the authority of a jazz ‘standard’, particularly by drawing on the work of Bill Evans and Miles Davis; and shows that these improvisational structures enable and act as a form of expression for the main character and his emerging individuality. The film takes its premise from The Fabulous Dorseys (1947) by Green, the biopic of the swing-era bandleaders the Dorsey Brothers, allowing this article to also consider the historical context of the film and the question of authenticity in both films, particularly through the parallel use of Art Tatum/Bill Evans as signifiers of ‘real jazz’ and Duke Ellington as a site of articulacy.
Extraterritorial cinema: Shanghai jazz and post-war Hong Kong Mandarin musicals
Authors: Fan Victor 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
During the 1930s, jazz in Shanghai (shidai qu 時代曲/music of the time), in a culturally, politically and musically hybrid form, negotiated the contesting sociopolitical values and cultural imaginations in the semicolonial city. In this article, Victor Fan contextualizes the re-emergence of the Shanghai jazz in the Hong Kong Mandarin musicals between 1945 and 1949, and uses the film Chang xiangsi (《長相思》)/An All-Consuming Love (He Zhaozhang 何兆璋, 1947) to examine how this genre re-appropriates this musical style to renegotiate the film-makers and spectators’ conflicting political affiliations and traumatic memories, what Fan calls ‘extraterritorial consciousness’.
Evaluación del desempeño de la radiación emitida por el sol como sistema de suministro de energía a un pico-satélite “CUBESAT”
Authors: Hernández R. Sergio , Gómez Vargas Ernesto , Rocha A. Diego F. 
Published: March 2015

En la operación de un satélite es de vital importancia la energía eléctrica, ya que esta debe alimentar todos los sistemas del mismo, tales como el de control y comando, el de comunicaciones, el de control de actitud, entre otros. Esta energía puede ser obtenida, básicamente, en el espacio exterior a la Tierra de diferentes formas, ya bien sea a partir de reacciones nucleares (EN), o a partir de reacciones químicas (EQ), o bien a partir de la transformación de la energía proveniente del sol (EF).Sin importar el tipo de misión que deba ejecutar la nave espacial (comercial, militar o científica) el tamaño del satélite y el tipo de fuente de energía, se debe tener presente que esta es un recurso limitado tanto en tiempo de vida como en su valor, y que mientras más pequeño sea el satélite estas dos magnitudes decrecen de manera dramática, siendo el escenario más crítico el de un pico satélite, en donde las restricciones de tamaño y peso impiden el uso de la EN y la EQ, quedando como única opción el uso la EF. A esto se ha de agregar que las dimensiones de las caras del mismo (10 cm X 10 cm ) solo permiten ubicar, a lo máximo dos celdas solares por cara.Con el propósito de determinar la energía que puede suministrar el sol a un pico satélite a continuación, y de manera rápida, se estudiará la radiación emitida por el sol y la cantidad posible de esta que se encuentra disponible a la altura de la órbita del pico satélite, para lo cual se hace uso de una simulación de la misma en MATLAB.

Published: March 2015

Se conformaron películas cerámicas del sistema SiO2-TiO2 sintetizadas por el método de los precursores poliméricos a partir del Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) y titaniumtetrabutoxide (TBT), un acido hidroxicarboxilico (acido cítrico) y alcohol polihidroxilico (etilenglicon). Las películas fueron depositadas, en monocapa, sobre sustratos de acero AISI 304 mediante la técnica de inmercion (dipcuating). Se utilizaron como concentraciones de los precursores Si (silicio) 10% Ti (titanio) 90% Si 30% y Ti 70% y Si 50% Ti 50% que conforman el sistema. Se estudio la influencia de los recubrimientos sobre el comportamiento anticorrosivo del sustrato en una solución de acido clorhídrico (HCL), mediante la técnica Espectroscopia de Impedancia Electroquímica (EIS). Adicionalmente, se evaluó la topografía por microscopia Electrónica de Barrido (SEM) y de adhesión de los recubrimientos al sustrato. Se encontró que los valores de los parámetros estudiados cambian sustancialmente en función de las concentraciones de los precursores empleados en las síntesis.

Abstract

Objectives: Exercise training is an effective method of weight management, and knowing about its influence on the hormones involved in the regulation of food intake and inflammation could be useful for body weight management. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 6 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MCT) on nesfatin-1, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).

Design and methods: Thirty sedentary overweight men (Mean±SD; age, 25±1 years) were divided into three (n=10) body mass index-matched groups. The participants in the training groups performed either HIIT or MCT protocols 3 days per week for 6 weeks followed by a week of detraining.

Results: Plasma IL-6 and TNF-α did not significantly change after training, but nesfatin increased significantly only with HIIT compared with the control group (p<0.05). In addition, fasting glucose, insulin, and homeostasis model estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), decreased significantly following both HIIT and MCT training (p<0.05). After a detraining period, the plasma nesfatin-1 did not return to pre-training levels in the HIIT group.

Conclusions: Both the HIIT and MCT groups had similar effects on inflammatory markers and insulin resistance in men who are overweight, but the HIIT seems to have better anorectic effects (as indicated by nesfatin) compared with MCT.
Das Judentum in frührabbinischer Zeit. Zu neuen Entwicklungen in der Forschung
Authors: Stemberger Günter 
Published: March 2015

Zusammenfassung
Die jüdische Geschichte in den etwa 150 Jahren nach der Zerstörung Jerusalems durch Titus (70 n. Chr.) bis in das frühe 3. Jahrhundert bleibt trotz umfangreicher v.a. rabbinischer Quellen in vielen Punkten umstritten. Das rabbinische Judentum, die einzige umfassend dokumentierte Form des Judentums dieser Zeit, war sicher sogar in Palästina nur eine Minderheit, nicht repräsentativ für das religiös und kulturell äußerst vielfältige Judentum der Zeit. Eine von Rom anerkannte jüdische Vertretung in der Person des Patriarchen ist nicht vor dem 3. Jahrhundert gesichert. Damit konnten Patriarch und Rabbinen auch nicht eine Trennung des Judentums vom Christentum erwirken – diese war vielmehr ein langer, regional unterschiedlicher Prozess, der auch durch den fiscus Judaicus nicht endgültig entschieden wurde. Erst im 3. Jahrhundert nimmt der Einfluss der Rabbinen in Palästina langsam zu. Die Diaspora (vor allem für Rom und Kleinasien haben wir anfangs literarische Belege, später dann fast ausschließlich Inschriften und Synagogenbauten) nahm eine eigene Entwicklung; rabbinisch bezeugte Romreisen einzelner Rabbinen ändern daran nichts. Erst mit der Christianisierung Palästinas ab Konstantin wird jüdisches Leben im Land wieder sichtbarer, vor allem durch zahlreiche Synagogenbauten, die parallel zu Kirchenbauten und gleichsam im Wettstreit mit dem Christentum entstanden, die aber nach wie vor von den Rabbinen unabhängig waren. Erst ab dem 5. Jahrhundert mehren sich Zeichen einer kulturellen Annäherung von Diaspora und Palästina, ein langsames Vordringen des Hebräischen und Ansätzen rabbinisch geprägter Religiosität auch in der Diaspora.

Published: March 2015

Abstract
This paper deals with computer application procedures for the evaluation of the causal consistency between anomalous phenomena manifested in electrical networks, along with the physical damage associated with electrical equipment and possible reimbursement requests. The focus is on the development of an air conditioner appliance model of the type known as split founded upon a representation, in the time domain, in accordance with the Alternative Transients Program (ATP) simulator requirements. This approach permits investigations concerning the performance of the product when submitted to ideal and non-ideal supply conditions. Once the equipment model is implemented in the program, a set of investigative studies are carried out to show the device performance under specific energy quality disturbance conditions. In addition, there are still the results for the validation of the process established through the correlation between computational performance of the air conditioner with corresponding studies carried out experimentally, which are presented herein. Moreover, once the effectiveness of the developed model is verified, it is implemented into the Requests for Reimbursement Software. Investigations related to the correlation between disturbances and the levels of thermal and dielectric tolerance are then performed aiming at illustrating the use of the research results for the reimbursement analyzes purposes.
Growth hormone deficiency in a patient with mitochondrial disease

Published: March 2015

Abstract: Mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) disorders, defined as primary diseases of the oxidative phosphorylation system, are a protean group of metabolic disorders, difficult to diagnose and classify. The diagnosis is complex and requires the integration of information obtained by clinical, laboratory testing, imaging and muscle biopsy. They may be associated with endocrine disorders, including hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, hyperinsulinemia and growth hormone (GH) deficiency.: We describe a case of five years old male with polymalformative syndrome with a systemic involvement. At 6 months of age, he was sent to metabolic consultation because of facial dysmorphy and short stature. During the investigation it was diagnosed at the boy a growth hormone deficiency and because of his multisystemic involvement, muscle biopsy was carried out and showed reduced activity of complex II (38%) of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Currently, the boy is under GH therapy with growth in the 5th percentile and coenzime Q10.: Mitochondrial biology is one of the fastest growing areas in genetics and medicine. Disturbances in mitochondrial metabolism are now known to play a role not only in rare childhood diseases, but also in many common diseases of aging. In mitochondrial disorders, short stature is a common symptom, but its underlying lesion, growth hormone deficiency, is rarely investigated.
Der Einfluss des Spurenelements Zink auf das Immunsystem
Authors: Schubert Claudia , Guttek Karina , Reinhold Annegret , Grüngreiff Kurt , Reinhold Dirk 
Published: March 2015

Zusammenfassung
Klinische und experimentelle Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass enge Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem essentiellen Spurenelement Zink und dem Immunsystem existieren. Zink beeinflusst die zellulären und humoralen Komponenten sowohl des angeborenen als auch des erworbenen Immunsystems. Zinkmangelzustände beim Menschen sind häufig mit einer gestörten Immunfunktion, also einem sekundären Immundefekt vergesellschaftet. Je nach zugrundeliegender Ursache des Zinkmangels führt eine kontrollierte Zinksubstitution zu einer Normalisierung des Serumzinks, der Zinkhomöostase des Körpers und zu einer Verbesserung der Immunfunktion. In vitro wirken geringe Zinkkonzentrationen stimulierend auf funktionelle Parameter von Immunzellen, höhere Zinkkonzentrationen sind supprimierend oder zytotoxisch für diese Zellen. Arbeiten der letzten Jahre belegen die immunsuppressive Wirkung von Zink in T-Zell-vermittelten autoimmunen Tiermodellen, wie der Experimentellen Autoimmunen Enzephalomyelitis (EAE). Zudem wurde bei einer Reihe von Autoimmunerkrankungen eine Abnahme der Serum-/Plasma-Zinkkonzentrationen nachgewiesen. In zukünftigen klinischen Studien sollte bei diesen Erkrankungen der mögliche Einsatz einer kontrollierten immunsuppressiven Zinktherapie geprüft werden.

Working conditions and leisure‐time physical activity among waged workers in South Korea: A cross‐sectional study: Chungah Kim, et al. School of Public Health, Seoul National University, Republic of KoreaObjectiveAlthough waged workers' working conditions have notably diversified in South Korea, there is little research addressing this issue. This study explores the relationship between working conditions and engagement in leisure‐time physical activities (LTPA) among waged workers in South Korea.MethodsData from 19‐ to 64‐year‐old waged workers (men=2,562, women=1,627) from the 11th wave of the Korean Income and Labor Panel Study were included in this study. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between LTPA and working conditions by gender.ResultsMore than 75% of employed persons did not participate in any type of LTPA. For male workers, those in manual, precarious, overtime, and non‐shift positions were less likely to engage in LTPA, while for female workers, only manual and overtime work positions were significant factors influencing a low level of LTPA.ConclusionsSome negative work‐related factors were associated with low LTPA, especially for male workers. Further studies should be conducted to clarify the pathways and barriers precluding engagement in LTPA due to work‐related factors.

Authors: Flatley Elizabeth A. , Wilde Ashley M. , Nailor Michael D. 
Published: March 2015

Background & Aims: Probiotics, including Saccharomyces boulardii, have been advocated for the prevention of Clostridium difficile infection. The aim of this project was to evaluate the effects of the removal of S. boulardii from an automatic antibiotic order set and hospital formulary on hospital onset C. difficile infection rates.Method. Design: A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients with hospital onset C. difficile infection during the 13 months prior (control group) and the 13 months after (study group) removal of an automatic order set linking S. boulardii capsules to certain broad spectrum antibiotics. Setting: A large 800+ bed tertiary hospitalResults: Among all hospitalized patients, the rate of hospital onset C. difficile infection was 0.99 per 1000 patient days while the S. boulardii protocol was active compared with 1.04 per 1000 patient days (p=0.10) after S. boulardii was removed from the formulary. No difference in the rate of hospital onset C. difficile infection was detected in patients receiving the linked broad spectrum antibiotics during and after the removal of the protocol (1.25% vs. 1.51%, respectively; p=0.70).Conclusions: Removal of S. boulardii administration to patients receiving broad spectrum antibiotics and the hospital formulary did not impact the rate of hospital onset C. difficile infection in either the hospital population or patients receiving broad spectrum antibiotics.
