Guidelines for mandated documents
Authors: Westbrook Lynn 
Published: January 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present findings on the efficacy of documents that US police are required to provide to domestic violence survivors, specifically intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors. Triangulating data from survivors, shelter staff, and law enforcement officers across four stages of IPV experiences, this national study identifies priorities among essential information needs and proposes information guidelines for law enforcement.

Design/methodology/approach
– A nationally distributed, 13-item, e-mail questionnaire was submitted to a stratified sample (ten largest, median, and smallest) of law enforcement agencies in all 50 states. Domestic violence shelters in each of the 1,500 cities were similarly recruited; survivors were recruited indirectly via shelter staff. The questions were clustered in terms of four common situations. Responses from 839 individuals were obtained, self-identified as police officers (481), shelter staff (263), and IPV survivors (95).

Findings
– Documents should be formatted for safety (i.e. small), developed for specific situations, and written simply. They should also offer information about non-law enforcement services. All three of the populations queried agreed that the immediate needs of survivors are stronger than their long-term needs.

Research limitations/implications
– The primary limitations are that the survey could include no means of determining the degree to which the respondents match the sample, and the response rate was insufficient to support inferential statistical analysis.

Originality/value
– This national study, the first of its kind, explicates the nuances of information elements in the personally situated experiences of survivors, and it presents the first set of suggested law-enforcement document design guidelines.
How to build the permanently innovative company: five tested sets of management practices
Authors: Engel Kai , Dirlea Voletka , Dyer Stephen , Graff Jochen 
Published: January 2015

Purpose
– This article reports on the findings of the Best Innovator competition, which was launched in Germany in 2003, to identify and communicate the best practices of innovation management of the country’s businesses. After ten years of research, the contest has not only been expanded to identify the most innovative companies in much of the developed world but also to document the success of their best practices over time.

Design/methodology/approach
– This article details five tested sets of best practices.

Findings
– A major research finding is the strong correlation between superior innovation management capabilities and sustainable, profitable growth. Another finding was that, given the mix of industries, the diversity of businesses and the range of sizes in the Best Innovator club, it is striking that there is no correlation between R&D budget and innovation.

Practical implications
– Best Innovators first develop and then manage their innovation portfolios. All of them pursue clarity on a fundamental question: what do we want our innovation strategy to do for us?

Originality/value
– The researchers found that to get their innovation strategies right, Best Innovators invest upfront in understanding market, technology and service dynamics. They are investing time more than money. Leaders can learn how Best Innovators address innovation management “from the market to the market” and manipulate five areas to improve their innovation performance and propel sustainable and profitable growth.
The next digital gold rush: how the internet of things will create liquid, transparent markets
Authors: Brody Paul , Pureswaran Veena 
Published: January 2015

Purpose
– The article analyses the market changes that are likely to be produced by and Internet of Things comprised of hundreds of billions of connected devices.

Design/methodology/approach
– Based on an IBM study, the authors foresee an Internet of Things emerging as a low-cost, private-by-design “democracy of devices” that will enable new digital economies and create new value, while offering consumers and enterprises fundamentally better products and user experiences.

Findings
– The IoT creates the ability to digitize, sell and deliver physical assets as easily as with virtual goods today. Using everything from Bluetooth beacons to Wi-Fi-connected door locks to allow customer access, many physical assets will become digital services.

Practical implications
– In a device-driven democracy, conference rooms, hotel rooms, cars and warehouse bays can themselves report capacity, utilization and availability in real-time. By taking raw capacity and making it easy to be utilized commercially, the IoT can remove barriers to fractionalization of industries that would otherwise be impossible.

Originality/value
– The article paints a compelling picture of a future in which the Internet of Things initiates five vectors of disruption by: Unlocking excess capacity of physical assets. 2. Creating liquid, transparent marketplaces. 3. Radical re-pricing of credit and risk. 4. Improving operational efficiency. 5. Digitally integrating value chains.
Case of Behçet's disease complicated by oculomotor nerve palsy associated with internal carotid artery‐posterior communicating artery aneurysm
Authors: Yamaoka Toshifumi , Murota Hiroyuki , Katayama Ichiro 
Published: January 2015

AbstractBehçet's disease (BD) is a relapsing systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology involving systemic vasculitis. Vasculitis in BD results from the involvement of arteries, veins and blood vessels of all sizes, which leads to the three major manifestations of this condition: venous occlusion, arterial occlusion and aneurysm formation. Therefore, whole‐body vascular involvement should always be considered in BD patients. Here, we describe the first appearance of an internal carotid‐posterior communicating artery aneurysm, resulting in complete oculomotor nerve palsy in a BD patient. A 44‐year‐old Japanese man suffered from recurrent episodes of erythema nodosum that had presented on the lower extremities for the past 2 years. His condition was diagnosed as an incomplete type of BD based on relapsing oral and genital ulcers, skin eruptions, such as erythema nodosum and folliculitis, a positive pathergy test and systemic arthralgia. Ten years after his initial clinical presentation, he had manifestations of right‐sided ptosis and cyclic dull pain in his right temporal region. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed a right internal carotid artery‐posterior communicating artery aneurysm. Although oculomotor nerve palsy associated with internal carotid artery‐posterior communicating artery aneurysm in a BD patient has not been reported previously, our report highlights the fact that this abnormal manifestation should be considered in those with vasculo‐BD.

Published: January 2015

AbstractSometimes the clinical differentiation between verruca plana (VP) and VP‐like seborrheic keratosis (SK) could be challenged. However, there have been no studies on this issue to date. The aim of this study was to elucidate clinical and dermoscopic differences between these two diseases, and also to suggest a diagnostic algorithm of VP and VP‐like SK without skin biopsy. The patients who had lesions clinically considered as VP or VP‐like SK were the target of our study. We took clinical and dermoscopic photos with informed consent and conducted a questionnaire. All patients had their diagnoses confirmed by biopsy. Thirty‐three patients were enrolled in our study. Seventeen patients were finally diagnosed with VP (51.5%) and 16 patients with VP‐like SK (48.5%). In clinical findings, VP‐like SK showed significantly more scattered distribution than VP (P = 0.039), which exhibited more clustered or grouped distribution (P = 0.039). In dermoscopic findings, brain‐like appearance was more commonly observed in VP‐like SK (P = 0.003) whereas VP showed more red dots or globular vessels (P = 0.017) and even‐colored light brown to yellow patch (P < 0.001). Sex, onset age, the size of each lesion, location, color and shape showed no significant differences between them (P > 0.05). Based on our results, we suggest a diagnostic algorithm using Koebner's phenomenon, dermoscopic findings, distribution of each lesion and biopsy for multiple VP‐like lesions in adults, and we think it will be a very useful diagnostic tool in daily clinical dermatological practice.

Published: January 2015

AbstractCholinergic urticaria (CholU) is a frequent and often hard to treat disorder characterized by wheal and flare type reactions that occur in response to exercise and passive warming. Antihistamines are the first‐line treatment, but are often not effective. Here, we report a 33‐year‐old male CholU patient who was able to engage in physical activities without suffering any symptoms for several hours following the intake of methantheliniumbromide, an anticholinergic agent that suppresses sweating. We confirmed this therapeutic response by pulse‐controlled ergometry testing, which showed delayed sweating and markedly delayed and reduced whealing after methantheliniumbromide treatment. Our findings suggest that CholU patients may benefit from methantheliniumbromide treatment.

AbstractA 72‐year‐old woman with a history of diffuse large B cell lymphoma and recent recurrence visited our department complaining of several painful edematous nodules with blisters on her face. She had iteratively developed cutaneous eruptions after every treatment with granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (G‐CSF) for neutropenia, and each time the eruption improved after the cessation of the G‐CSF treatment. The blisters became crusty and the skin lesions slightly improved, but on the 24th hospital day, the eruption formed painful erythematous nodules with erosion, and the patient also developed a high fever of up to 38°C. A biopsy specimen showed a dermal infiltrate of increased and enlarged plump histiocytes, some of which indicated karyomitosis with a small number of lymphocytes. No increase in the number of eosinophils or neutrophils was noted. These eruptions lasted for 15 days and disappeared with the recovery of the peripheral blood count and attendant cessation of G‐CSF. We diagnosed this case as G‐CSF‐induced granulomatous dermatitis with enlarged histiocytes. Several cases with maculopapular rash and dermal inflammatory infiltrate composed of interstitially arranged large histiocytes have been reported. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of G‐CSF‐induced granulomatous dermatitis with enlarged histiocytes clinically manifesting as painful edematous nodules with a high fever, similar to Sweet's syndrome. We speculated that the infiltrating cells were not neutrophils but histiocytes, presumably because of agranulocytosis.

SummaryParasites influence allocation trade‐offs between reproduction and self‐maintenance and consequently shape host life‐history traits. The host microbiome includes pathogenic and commensal micro‐organisms that are remarkable in their diversity and ubiquity. However, experimental studies investigating whether the microbiome shapes host reproduction are still lacking.In this study, we tested whether the microbiome affects three important components of bird reproduction, namely (i) the maternal transfer of anti‐microbial compounds to the eggs, (ii) the development of nestlings and (iii) the trade‐off between reproduction and self‐maintenance, here measured by the oxidative costs of reproduction.We experimentally modified the microbiome of wild breeding Great tits (Parus major) by spraying nests with liquid solution that either favoured or inhibited bacterial growth compared to a control. These treatments modified the bacterial communities in the nests and on adult feathers.We found that females from the treatment that decreased bacterial densities in the nests laid eggs with less carotenoids than females from the control, while we found no significant effect of increasing bacterial densities and modifying community composition compared to the control. Nestlings exposed to decreased bacterial densities grew faster and had longer tarsus length at fledging. Moreover, our analyses revealed that the relationship between investment in reproduction and oxidative damage was affected by the treatments. Adults raising larger clutches suffered higher oxidative damage in control nests, whereas this oxidative cost of reproduction was not detected when we modified bird microbiome.Our study provides experimental evidence for an effect of the microbiome on egg carotenoid investment, nestling development and oxidative cost of reproduction and thus highlights the major effect that the microbiome may have on the evolution of host life‐history strategies.
The whitefly‐associated facultative symbiont Hamiltonella defensa suppresses induced plant defences in tomato

Published: January 2015

Summary

Maternally inherited bacterial symbionts are present in many, if not most, insect species. While there is rapidly accumulating evidence that facultative, heritable symbionts often protect insect hosts from natural enemies, there have been few clear examples where facultative symbionts mediate herbivore–plant interactions.

The phloem‐feeding whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, is a major agricultural pest that frequently harbours facultative symbionts, including Hamiltonella defensa. While H. defensa and other facultative symbionts have been shown to improve whitefly performance on particular food plants, no direct and specific roles for symbiont‐mediated interactions with food plants have been identified.

Here, we conducted a series of assays to determine whether infection with H. defensa improved whitefly performance on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and whether this benefit was associated with symbiont effects on induced plant defences. Finally, we tested whether impacts on induced defences involved in the modulation of a salivary factor.

The downregulation of plant defences was associated with increased whitefly fecundity and survival. Feeding by H. defensa‐infected whiteflies suppressed JA and JA‐related anti‐herbivore‐induced defences in tomato relative to uninfected controls. That saliva‐only treatments of damaged tomato leaves from H. defensa‐infected whiteflies suppressed induced plant defences compared to saliva from uninfected controls, suggesting that elicitors in saliva were responsible. Characterization of the putative salivary factor(s) revealed they are likely small (< 3‐kDa) and nonproteinaceous.

Interestingly, suppression of defences was not observed in SA‐deficient NahG plants, indicating that suppression of JA‐regulated defences depends on the SA signalling pathway. This finding reveals an intriguing example of the crosstalk between SA and JA signalling pathways and suggests that infection with facultative symbionts can result in the manipulation of induced plant defences to the benefit of the insect host and heritable symbiont.

Our results show that the bacterial symbiont H. defensa mediates whitefly–plant interactions by suppressing induced plant defences in tomato. This finding is among the first showing a direct role for facultative symbionts in mediating plant–herbivore interactions and demonstrates a novel tactic for insect herbivores to circumvent plant defences. Symbiont‐mediated suppression of plant defences may enhance the deleterious effects of insect pests feeding on important crops.
Influence of water pressure dynamics and fluid flow on the streaming‐potential response for unsaturated conditions

Published: January 2015

ABSTRACTStreaming‐potentials are produced by electrokinetic effects in relation to fluid flow and are used for geophysical prospecting. The aim of this study is to model streaming potential measurements for unsaturated conditions using an empirical approach. A conceptual model is applied to streaming potential measurements obtained from two drainage experiments in sand. The streaming potential data presented here show a non‐monotonous behaviour with increasing water saturation, following a pattern that cannot be predicted by existing models. A model involving quasi‐static and dynamic components is proposed to reproduce the streaming potential measurements. The dynamic component is based on the first time derivative of the driving pore pressure. The influence of this component is investigated with respect to fluid velocity, which is very different between the two experiments. The results demonstrate that the dynamic component is predominant at the onset of drainage in experiments with the slowest water flow. On the other hand, its influence appears to vanish with increasing drainage velocity. Our results suggest that fluid flow and water distribution at the pore scale have an important influence on the streaming potential response for unsaturated conditions. We propose to explain this specific streaming potential response in terms of the behaviour of both rock/water interface and water/air interfaces created during desaturation processes. The water/air interfaces are negatively charged, as also observed in the case of water/rock interfaces. Both the surface area and the flow velocity across these interfaces are thought to contribute to the non‐monotonous behaviour of the streaming potential coefficient as well as the variations in its amplitude. The non‐monotonous behaviour of air/water interfaces created during the flow was highlighted as it was measured and modelled by studies published in the literature. The streaming potential coefficient can increase to about 10 to 40 when water saturation decreases. Such an increase is possible if the amount of water/air interfaces is increased in sufficient amount, which can be the case.
Effects of organ removal on trade‐offs between sexual and clonal reproduction in the stoloniferous herb Duchesnea indica

Published: January 2015

AbstractResource allocation patterns and trade‐off between sexual and clonal reproduction in clonal plants have been extensively studied, but little is known about effects of organ removal on the trade‐offs in clonal plants. To examine the effects, we conducted an experiment with the stoloniferous herb Duchesnea indica in which we removed plant organs like roots, flowers, or fruits. Removing roots significantly increased number of ramets and biomass allocation to stolons, but decreased number of fruits. Removing flowers or fruits greatly increased number of ramets and biomass allocation to stolons and roots, but decreased spacer length, number of fruits, and fruits set. Onset and median date of flowering phenology of D. indica shifted after flowers, fruits, or roots were removed. These results may indicate that removing organs can affect trade‐off between sexual and clonal reproduction of D. indica.

AbstractRecent advances in sequencing allow population‐genomic data to be generated for virtually any species. However, approaches to analyse such data lag behind the ability to generate it, particularly in nonmodel species. Linkage disequilibrium (LD, the nonrandom association of alleles from different loci) is a highly sensitive indicator of many evolutionary phenomena including chromosomal inversions, local adaptation and geographical structure. Here, we present linkage disequilibrium network analysis (LDna), which accesses information on LD shared between multiple loci genomewide. In LD networks, vertices represent loci, and connections between vertices represent the LD between them. We analysed such networks in two test cases: a new restriction‐site‐associated DNA sequence (RAD‐seq) data set for Anopheles baimaii, a Southeast Asian malaria vector; and a well‐characterized single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data set from 21 three‐spined stickleback individuals. In each case, we readily identified five distinct LD network clusters (single‐outlier clusters, SOCs), each comprising many loci connected by high LD. In A. baimaii, further population‐genetic analyses supported the inference that each SOC corresponds to a large inversion, consistent with previous cytological studies. For sticklebacks, we inferred that each SOC was associated with a distinct evolutionary phenomenon: two chromosomal inversions, local adaptation, population‐demographic history and geographic structure. LDna is thus a useful exploratory tool, able to give a global overview of LD associated with diverse evolutionary phenomena and identify loci potentially involved. LDna does not require a linkage map or reference genome, so it is applicable to any population‐genomic data set, making it especially valuable for nonmodel species.

ObjectiveCannabis use has been examined as a predictor of psychosis in clinical high‐risk (CHR) samples, but little is known about the impact of other substances on this relationship.MethodSubstance use was assessed in a large sample of CHR participants (N = 370, mean age = 18.3) enrolled in the multisite North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study Phase 1 project. Three hundred and forty‐one participants with cannabis use data were divided into groups: No Use (NU, N = 211); Cannabis Use without impairment (CU, N = 63); Cannabis Abuse/Dependence (CA/CD, N = 67). Participants (N = 283) were followed for ≥2 years to determine psychosis conversion.ResultsAlcohol (45.3%) and cannabis (38.1%) were the most common substances. Cannabis use groups did not differ on baseline attenuated positive symptoms. Seventy‐nine of 283 participants with cannabis and follow‐up data converted to psychosis. Survival analysis revealed significant differences between conversion rates in the CA/CD group compared with the No Use (P = 0.031) and CU group (P = 0.027). CA/CD also significantly predicted psychosis in a regression analysis, but adjusting for alcohol use weakened this relationship.ConclusionThe cannabis misuse and psychosis association was confounded by alcohol use. Non‐impairing cannabis use was not related to psychosis. Results highlight the need to control for other substance use, so as to not overstate the cannabis/psychosis connection.
