Purpose A multicenter phase II study was conducted to assess the efficacy of rituximab, methotrexate, procarbazine, and vincristine (R-MPV) followed by consolidation reduced-dose whole-brain radiotherapy (rdWBRT) and cytarabine in primary CNS lymphoma. Patients and Methods Patients received induction chemotherapy with R-MPV (five to seven cycles); those achieving a complete response (CR) received rdWBRT (23.4 Gy), and otherwise, standard WBRT was offered (45 Gy). Consolidation cytarabine was given after the radiotherapy. The primary end point was 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) in patients receiving rdWBRT. Exploratory end points included prospective neuropsychological evaluation, analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) white matter changes using the Fazekas scale, and evaluation of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as a prognostic factor. Results Fifty-two patients were enrolled, with median age of 60 years (range, 30 to 79 years) and median Karnofsky performance score of 70 (range, 50 to 100). Thirty-one patients (60%) achieved a CR after R-MPV and received rdWBRT. The 2-year PFS for this group was 77%; median PFS was 7.7 years. Median overall survival (OS) was not reached (median follow-up for survivors, 5.9 years); 3-year OS was 87%. The overall (N = 52) median PFS was 3.3 years, and median OS was 6.6 years. Cognitive assessment showed improvement in executive function (P < .01) and verbal memory (P < .05) after chemotherapy, and follow-up scores remained relatively stable across the various domains (n = 12). All examined MRIs (n = 28) displayed a Fazekas score of ≤ 3, and no patient developed scores of 4 to 5; differences in ADC values did not predict response (P = .15), PFS (P = .27), or OS (P = .33). Conclusion R-MPV combined with consolidation rdWBRT and cytarabine is associated with high response rates, long-term disease control, and minimal neurotoxicity.
“Celibacy Is a Social Crime”: The Politics of Clerical Marriage, 1793-1797
Authors: Cage Claire 
Published: October 2013

As revolutionaries increasingly associated civic virtue and citizenship with men’s identities as fathers, the celibate priest’s place in the French nation became contested and precarious. Radical revolutionaries relied more and more often on marriage, rather than the ecclesiastical oath, as a litmus test for distinguishing the “patriot priest” from the politically suspect priest. They sought not only to incorporate priests into the nation through marriage but also to transform priests, whose celibacy they viewed as a flagrant violation of the laws of nature, into ideal pères de famille and paragons of public and private virtue. During the Revolution, marriage became an antidote to the social crime of celibacy and a civic duty for all priests.
Comme les révolutionnaires français ont de plus en plus assimilé la vertu civique et la citoyenneté à la figure du père de famille, la place du prêtre célibataire dans la nation française est devenue contestée et précaire. Les Jacobins ont invoqué le mariage, plutôt que le serment ecclésiastique, pour distinguer parmi les rangs du clergé les patriotes des suspects. Ils ont non seulement cherché à intégrer les prêtres dans la nation par le mariage mais aussi à les transformer en bons pères de familles, modèles de vertus publiques et privées, le célibat étant alors considéré comme une violation flagrante des lois de la nature. Le mariage n’était plus seulement un droit naturel mais une démonstration de patriotisme, un devoir moral et politique, ainsi qu’un antidote au crime social du célibat.
Synthesis and Chiral Recognition Ability of Chitosan Derivatives with Different 4-Chlorophenylcarbamate–Urea Structures
Authors: Zhang Lili , Shen Jun , Zuo Wenli , Okamoto Yoshio 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
The chitosan derivatives bearing different 4-chlorophenylcarbamate–urea structures were synthesized under different reaction conditions, and their chiral recognition abilities were evaluated as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These CSPs coated on silica gel exhibited different recognition ability depending on their structures and could be used with a few prohibited solvents as the eluent, which efficiently improved the resolution for some racemates.
Did the elimination of lead from petrol reduce crime in the USA in the 1990s?
Authors: Hall Wayne 
Published: October 2013

This article assesses the evidence for the hypothesis that a decline in all types of crime since the early 1990s in the USA was a consequence of removing lead from petrol between 1975 and 1985. It describes ecological and econometric studies that have generally but not always found correlations between lead exposures in childhood and some types of crime 20 years later; a small number of epidemiological studies that have found a dose-response relationship between lead exposure in childhood and self-reported and officially recorded criminal offences in young adulthood; and evidence for the biological plausibility of a causal relationship. Lead exposure in childhood may have played a small role in rising and falling crime rates in the USA but it is unlikely to account for the very high percentage of the decline suggested by the ecological studies. The major anomaly in the evidence is that the associations reported in ecological studies are much stronger (explaining 56-90% of the variation in crime rates) than the weaker relationships found in the cohort studies (that typically explain less than 1% of the variance in offending). Suggestions are made for research that will better assess the contribution that reduced lead exposure has made to declining crime rates in the USA.

Continuity and finiteness of the radius of convergence of a p-adic differential equation via potential theory
Authors: Poineau Jérôme , Pulita Andrea 
Published: October 2013

Abstract

We study the radius of convergence of a differential equation on a smooth Berkovich curve over a non-archimedean complete valued field of characteristic 0. Several properties of this function are known: F. Baldassarri proved that it is continuous (see [Invent. Math. 182 (2010), no. 3, 513–584]) and the authors showed that it factorizes by the retraction through a locally finite graph (see [`The convergence Newton polygon of a p-adic differential equation I: Affinoid domains of the Berkovich affine line',
preprint 2012] and [`The convergence Newton polygon of a p-adic differential equation II: Continuity and finiteness on Berkovich curves',
preprint 2012]). Here, assuming that the curve has no boundary or that the differential equation is overconvergent, we provide a shorter proof of both results by using potential theory on Berkovich curves.
Evaluation and assessment of photoaging
Authors: Yu Sherry H. , Baron Elma D. 
Published: October 2013

Abstract:The assessment of photoaging is a huge component not only in clinical practice, but also in human research studies geared towards anti-aging therapies, photoprotection or mechanistic studies to understand the effects of ultraviolet light on the skin. However, evaluation remains difficult to standardize. Photonumeric scales are superior to descriptive evaluations, and have been used with some validity and reproducibility. Newer techniques that employ more sophisticated imaging modalities may be necessary. In addition, consideration of skin color, ethnicity, gender, and specific anatomic regions of the face play a role in the evaluation.

Authors: Youngblut JoAnne M. , Brooten Dorothy , Cantwell G. Patricia , del Moral Teresa , Totapally Balagangadhar 
Published: October 2013

BACKGROUND:
After a child’s death, parents may experience depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and increased risk for cancers, diabetes, psychiatric hospitalization, and suicide. Racial/ethnic differences are unknown. This longitudinal study investigated health and functioning of Hispanic, black, and white parents through 13 months after NICU/PICU death.

METHODS:
Parents (176 mothers, 73 fathers) of 188 deceased infants/children were recruited from 4 NICUs, 4 PICUs, and state death certificates 2 to 3 weeks after death. Deaths occurred after limiting treatment/withdrawing life support (57%), unsuccessful resuscitation (32%), or brain death (11%). Data on parent physical health (hospitalizations, chronic illness), mental health (depression, PTSD, alcohol use), and functioning (partner status, employment) were collected in the home at 1, 3, 6, and 13 months after death.

RESULTS:
Mean age for mothers was 32 ± 8, fathers 37 ± 9; 79% were Hispanic or black. Thirteen months after infant/child death, 72% of parents remained partnered, 2 mothers had newly diagnosed cancer, alcohol consumption was below problem drinking levels, parents had 98 hospitalizations (29% stress related) and 132 newly diagnosed chronic health conditions, 35% of mothers and 24% of fathers had clinical depression, and 35% of mothers and 30% of fathers had clinical PTSD. At 6 months after infant/child death, 1 mother attempted suicide. Week 1 after infant/child death, 9% of mothers and 32% of fathers returned to employment; 7 parents took no time off. More Hispanic and black mothers than white mothers had moderate/severe depression at 6 months after infant/child death and PTSD at every time point.

CONCLUSIONS:
Parents, especially minority mothers, have negative physical and mental health outcomes during the first year after NICU/PICU death.

OBJECTIVE:
To identify risk factors for inpatient apnea among children hospitalized with bronchiolitis.

METHODS:
We enrolled 2207 children, aged &lt;2 years, hospitalized with bronchiolitis at 16 sites during the winters of 2007 to 2010. Nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPAs) were obtained on all subjects, and real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to test NPA samples for 16 viruses. Inpatient apnea was ascertained by daily chart review, with outcome data in 2156 children (98%). Age was corrected for birth &lt;37 weeks. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent risk factors for inpatient apnea.

RESULTS:
Inpatient apnea was identified in 108 children (5%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4%–6%). Statistically significant, independent predictors of inpatient apnea included: corrected ages of &lt;2 weeks (odds ratio [OR] 9.67) and 2 to 8 weeks (OR 4.72), compared with age ≥6 months; birth weight &lt;2.3 kg (5 pounds; OR 2.15), compared with ≥3.2 kg (7 pounds); caretaker report of previous apnea during this bronchiolitis episode (OR 3.63); preadmission respiratory rates of &lt;30 (OR 4.05), 30 to 39 (OR 2.35) and &gt;70 (OR 2.26), compared with 40 to 49; and having a preadmission room air oxygen saturation &lt;90% (OR 1.60). Apnea risk was similar across the major viral pathogens.

CONCLUSIONS:
In this prospective, multicenter study of children hospitalized with bronchiolitis, inpatient apnea was associated with younger corrected age, lower birth weight, history of apnea, and preadmission clinical factors including low or high respiratory rates and low room air oxygen saturation. Several bronchiolitis pathogens were associated with apnea, with similar apnea risk across the major viral pathogens.
Screening for Primary Hypertension in Children and Adolescents: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement
Authors: Moyer Virginia A. 
Published: October 2013

Description:
Update of the 2003 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation on screening for high blood pressure in children and adolescents.

Methods:
The USPSTF reviewed the evidence on screening and diagnostic accuracy of screening tests for blood pressure in children and adolescents, the effectiveness and harms of treatment of screen-detected primary childhood hypertension, and the association of hypertension with markers of cardiovascular disease in childhood and adulthood.

Population:
This recommendation applies to children and adolescents who do not have symptoms of hypertension.

Recommendation:
The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for primary hypertension in asymptomatic children and adolescents to prevent subsequent cardiovascular disease in childhood or adulthood.
Community-Driven Development: A New Approach to Social Development in the Niger Delta
Authors: Reider Susan , Haastrup Deji O. 
Published: October 2013

Summary
The Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMOU) process was started in 2005 by Chevron Nigeria Limited (Chevron) as a significant departure from prior operating experience in the Niger Delta. Previously, the company's community relations effort primarily targeted "host communities" and involved relatively large, signature projects such as schools and hospital buildings. Serious conflict between "have" and "have-not" communities, and between communities and the company, had been escalating for years. The new approach, based on a community-driven development model, was intended to deliver equitable and sustainable social investments, build capacity in civil society, and promote peace and security. This paper will describe the model, as well as programs for training and capacity building, governance, planning, and field research.
Grapevine yellows affecting the Croatian indigenous grapevine cultivar Grk
Authors: Ježić Marin , Kontić Jasminka Karoglan , Preiner Darko , Maletić Edi , Ćurković-Perica Mirna 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
- The grapevine cultivar Grk, a close relative of Crljenak kaštelanski/Zinfandel, is grown exclusively in southern Croatia. Grapevine yellows-like symptoms were observed on vines in the vineyards in Lumbarda (southern Croatia) and in propagated grapevines near Zadar and Zagreb. The majority of the detected phytoplasma isolates belonged to the 16SrI group. However, RFLP pattern and R16F2n/R2 fragment sequence assigned one isolate to the 16SrIII group. Thus far, on cv. Grk, phytoplasmas belonging to three different groups have been detected: 16SrI, 16SrIII, and 16SrXII, which was confirmed previously. Aside from the 16SrI, 16SrV and 16SrXII phytoplasma groups previously found on grapevines in Croatia, the finding of 16SrIII group, which is not common on grapevines in Europe, adds to the diversity of phytoplasmas in a very small geographic region.
Visitor management in protected areas
Authors: Zelenka Josef , Kacetl Jaroslav 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
Visitor management is often too narrowly connected with mass/individual tourism in protected areas. Generally, visitor management can be used in any destination for mass and individual tourism also in connection with optimization of visitor flows, visitor concentration, and optimization of visitor impacts in a very broad sense. This paper focuses on the introduction of the theoretical concept of visitor management; it discusses different visitor management approaches and their principles, compares these approaches, and shortly describes typical visitor management tools. The discussion focuses on the appropriate use of chosen selected tools, mainly carrying capacity approaches, zoning and optimization of tourism infrastructure and monitoring, including tourism sustainability indicators. The computer simulation and prediction of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the phenomena in destination is also shortly described. The typical application of visitor management in protected areas is described as a case study and a set of recommendations for visitor management are declared.
DMO – A dummy-made organ or a really working destination management organization
Authors: Holešinská Andrea 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
Destination management is considered as an advanced form of cooperation among tourism stakeholders who are associated in a destination management organization (DMO). In developed tourist destinations such as the Alpine regions, these institutions were formed spontaneously after a few years dealing with the socio-economic changes in demand to prove their competitiveness. This process strengthened their cooperation. In the Czech and Slovak Republic destination management does not have a long tradition. Although numerous tourism organizations have been established, their identification as DMOs is questionable especially considering the length of cooperation development in the Alpine regions. Therefore the article examines on an example of the Slovak Republic.
Modelling and Measurement of Bubble Formation and Growth in Electroflotation Processes
Authors: Sarkar Shahjahan K. A. , Machniewski Piotr M. , Evans Geoffrey M. 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
Electroflotation is used in the water treatment industry for the recovery of suspended particles. In this study the bubble formation and release of hydrogen bubbles generated electrolytically from a platinum cathode was investigated. Previously, it was found that both the growth rate and detachment diameter increased with increasing wire diameter. Conversely, current density had little effect on the released bubble size. It was also found that the detached bubbles rapidly increased in volume as they rose through the liquid as a result of decreasing hydrostatic pressure and high levels of dissolved hydrogen gas in the surrounding liquid. The experimental system was computationally modelled using a Lagrangian-Eulerian Discrete Particle approach. It was revealed that desorption of gaseous solutes from the electrolyte solution, other than hydrogen, may have a significant impact on the diameter variation of the formed bubbles. The simulation confirmed that liquid circulation, either forced or induced by the rising bubble plume, influences both the hydrogen supersaturation (concentration) in the neighbourhood of the electrode and the size of the resulting bubbles.
Analysis of Spent Active Coke Properties by Spouted Bed Technique
Authors: Buczek Bronislaw 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
Samples of active coke, fresh and spent after cleaning flue gases from communal waste incinerators, were studied. The outer layers of both coke particles were separately removed by comminution mechanism in a spouted bed. Analyses included density, mercury porosimetry and adsorption. The remaining cores were examined to determine the degree of consumption of coke by adsorption of hazardous emissions (SO2, HCl, heavy metals) through its bed. The differences in contamination levels within the porous structure of the particles were estimated. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of active coke in the cleaning of flue gases.
Body Posture Stability in Ski Boots Under Conditions of Unstable Supporting Surface
Authors: Tchórzewski Dariusz , Bujas Przemysław , Jankowicz-Szymańska Agnieszka 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
The authors attempted to determine whether: (1) there are differences in stability between the conditions of standing in ski boots and barefoot, (2) the type of surface affects stability, and, (3) the level of stability differs between the frontal and sagittal planes. The study included 35 young male recreational skiers aged 20.71 ±0.63 years. Measurements of stability were taken by means of a Libra seesaw balance board. The conditions of soft surface were created by attaching an inflated cushion to the board. The experiment was carried out on both rigid and soft surface for both movement planes and two different conditions: maintaining the seesaw balance board in the horizontal position and performance of a particular balancing task. All the tests were performed with visual feedback. Restricted ankle joint mobility that results from wearing ski boots caused a reduction of stability in studied subjects, particularly in the sagittal plane. The differences found in the study were likely to be caused by the difficulty the beginners experienced in re-organizing muscular coordination in hip joint strategy and effectively using mechanical support of ski boots that reduces lower limb muscle tone. The use of the soft surface improved stability exhibited by the subjects in the frontal plane without compromising the stability in the sagittal plane. The soft surface might have contributed to a reduction in excessive corrective movements, thus improving stability in studied subjects.The aim of this study was to determine the effect of limitation of foot mobility and disturbances in afferent information from the plantar mechanoreceptors due to wearing ski boots on the level of postural stability in beginner skiers under conditions of the unstable support surface.
Physical and Physiological Characteristics of Elite Male Handball Players from Teams with a Different Ranking
Authors: Nikolaidis Pantelis T. , Ingebrigtsen Jørgen 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine possible discriminant physical and physiological characteristics between elite male handball players from elite teams with different league rankings. Players from three teams (A, B and C), which competed in the first league of the Greek championship during the season 2011-2012 participated in the study. Team A finished first, B came second and C came eighth out of eleven clubs. Teams A and B also participated in European Cups, and team A won the European Challenge Cup. The players (n=44) were examined for anthropometric characteristics and performed a series of physical fitness tests. Players from teams A and B were taller (6.2 cm (0.7;11.7), mean difference (95% CI) and 9.2 cm (4.0;14.5), respectively), and had a higher amount of fat free mass (6.4 kg (1.1;11.8) and 5.4 kg (0.2;10.5)) compared to those of team C. Players from team A performed better than players from team C in the squat jump (5.5 cm (1.0;10.0)), the countermovement jump without (5.5 cm (0.4;10.6)) and with armswing (6.0 cm (0.7;11.3)) and in the 30 s Bosco test (5.7 W.kg-1 (1.2;10.2)). Also, players from team A outperformed team B in mean power during the Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT, 0.5 W.kg-1(0;0.9)) and in the Bosco test (7.8 W.kg-1 (3.4;12.2)). Overall, players from the best ranked team performed better than the lowest ranked team on WAnT, vertical jumps and the Bosco test. Stepwise discriminant analysis showed that stature and mean power during the Bosco test were the most important characteristics in TH players, accounting for 54.6% of the variance in team ranking. These findings indicate the contribution of particular physical fitness components (stature, fat free mass and anaerobic power) to excellence in TH. In addition, the use of the Bosco test as an assessment tool in talent identification and physical fitness monitoring in this sport is further recommended.
