AbstractA new, rapid Fourier transform near infrared (FT‐NIR) spectroscopic procedure is described to screen for the authenticity of extra virgin olive oils (EVOO) and to determine the kind and amount of an adulterant in EVOO. To screen EVOO, a partial least squares (PLS1) calibration model was developed to estimate a newly created FT‐NIR index based mainly on the relative intensities of two unique carbonyl overtone absorptions in the FT‐NIR spectra of EVOO and other mixtures attributed to volatile (5280 cm−1) and non‐volatile (5180 cm−1) components. Spectra were also used to predict the fatty acid (FA) composition of EVOO or samples spiked with an adulterant using previously developed PLS1 calibration models. Some adulterated mixtures could be identified provided the FA profile was sufficiently different from those of EVOO. To identify the type and determine the quantity of an adulterant, gravimetric mixtures were prepared by spiking EVOO with different concentrations of each adulterant. Based on FT‐NIR spectra, four PLS1 calibration models were developed for four specific groups of adulterants, each with a characteristic FA composition. Using these different PLS1 calibration models for prediction, plots of predicted vs. gravimetric concentrations of an adulterant in EVOO yielded linear regression functions with four unique sets of slopes, one for each group of adulterants. Four corresponding slope rules were defined that allowed for the determination of the nature and concentration of an adulterant in EVOO products by applying these four calibration models. The standard addition technique was used for confirmation.
Adolescents' unconditional acceptance by parents and teachers and educational outcomes: A structural model of gender differences
Authors: Makri‐Botsari Evi 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to detect gender specific patterns in the network of relations between unconditionality of parental and teacher acceptance in the form of unconditional positive regard and a range of educational outcomes, as indexed by academic self‐perception, academic intrinsic motivation, and academic achievement. To test the role of gender as a moderator, a multi‐group analysis was employed within the framework of structural equation modelling with increasing restrictions placed on the structural paths across genders. The results on a sample of 427 adolescents in grades 7–9 showed that conditionality of acceptance undermined level of perceived acceptance for both social agents. Moreover, unconditionality of teacher acceptance exerted stronger influences on students' educational outcomes than unconditionality of parental acceptance, with effect sizes being larger for girls than for boys.

Published: June 2015

AbstractObjectiveTo identify a subset of patients with stage IA2–IB1 cervical cancer and small tumors (≤ 2 cm) who could be suitable for less radical surgery.MethodsIn a retrospective study, the medical records of women treated at nine hospitals in China were reviewed. Included women had undergone radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. The clinicopathologic factors associated with uterine isthmus invasion (UII), vaginal invasion (VI), parametrial invasion (PI), lymph node metastasis (LNM), and prognosis were analyzed.ResultsOverall, 1632 women were included. Tumor size greater than 2 cm (measured postoperatively) was an independent predictor of VI (P = 0.002), PI (P = 0.001), and UII (P = 0.021). Squamous cell carcinoma and superficial stromal invasion were associated with a low frequency of UII (P < 0.001 for both). Among patients with adenocarcinoma, deep stromal invasion and lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI) were independently associated with UII (P = 0.006 and P = 0.004, respectively). Grade 2/3 disease (P = 0.009), deep stromal invasion (P = 0.015), and LVSI (P < 0.001) were independently associated with LNM. LNM was the only independent adverse factor for survival (P < 0.001).ConclusionWomen with stage IA2–IB1 cervical cancer with low‐risk factors could be candidates for large‐scale prospective clinical trials of less radical surgery and lymphadenectomy omission.
Surgical Difficulties and Complications in the Treatment of Bisphosphonate-related Proximal Femur Fractures
Authors: Chun-Man Ma , Man-Hong Cheung , Wah-Bong Wong 
Published: June 2015

Background Atypical proximal femoral fractures are becoming more common. They are difficult to treat because of the poor union rate and potential surgical difficulties due to hard bone and complete obliteration of the medullary canal. Methods This is a case series of five patients with bisphosphonate-related atypical proximal femur fractures. The study period was between June 2012 and October 2013. The patients were treated using cephalomedullary devices. The intraoperative difficulties and postoperative complications were recorded. Results We noticed complete femoral canal obliteration in two cases that required a set of addition reamers to reach the medullary canal. Moreover, the nonunion was 100% in the patient treated with standard nail and 25% in patients treated with long nail, and these nonunion rates were much higher than ordinary fractures. Conclusion Treatment of atypical femoral fractures can be difficult. Thus, proper preparations and expertise are required. Additional medical therapies may also be beneficial.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for treating psychological disturbances in Taiwanese adolescents who experienced Typhoon Morakot

Published: June 2015

AbstractIn this case–control study, we aimed to assess the intervention effects of four‐session eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) on reducing the severity of disaster‐related anxiety, general anxiety, and depressive symptoms in Taiwanese adolescents who experienced Typhoon Morakot. A total of 83 adolescents with posttraumatic stress disorder related to Typhoon Morakot, major depressive disorder, or current moderate or high suicide risk after experiencing Typhoon Morakot were allocated to a four‐session course of EMDR (N = 41) or to treatment as usual (TAU; N = 42). A multivariate analysis of covariance was performed to examine the effects of EMDR in reducing the severity of disaster‐related anxiety, general anxiety, and depressive symptoms in adolescents by using preintervention severity values as covariates. The multivariate analysis of covariance results indicated that the EMDR group exhibited significantly lower preintervention severity values of general anxiety and depression than did the TAU group. In addition, the preintervention severity value of disaster‐related anxiety in the EMDR group was lower than that in the TAU group (p = 0.05). The results of this study support that EMDR could alleviate general anxiety and depressive symptoms and reduce disaster‐related anxiety in adolescents experiencing major traumatic disasters.
High order smooth ambiguity preferences and asset prices
Authors: Thimme Julian , Völkert Clemens 
Published: June 2015

AbstractThis paper extends the recursive smooth ambiguity decision model developed in Klibanoff, Marinacci, and Mukerji (2005, 2009) by relaxing the uniformity imposed on higher order acts. This generalization permits a separation of intertemporal substitution, risk attitude, and attitudes towards different sources of uncertainty. Our decision model is suited in situations where subjects may treat several kinds of uncertainty in different manners. We apply our preference specification to a consumption‐based asset pricing model with long run risks and assess the impact of ambiguity on asset prices and predictability patterns. We find that modeling attitudes towards uncertainty through high order smooth ambiguity preferences has important implications for asset prices. Our model generates a highly volatile price‐dividend ratio and predictability patterns in line with the data.
Early Mesozoic lamproites and monzonitoids of southeastern Gorny Altai: geochemistry, Sr–Nd isotope composition, and sources of melts
Authors: Krupchatnikov V.I. , Vrublevskii V.V. , Kruk N.N. 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Small intrusions of lamprophyres and lamproites (Chuya complex) and K-monzonitoids (Tarkhata and Terandzhik complexes) are widespread in southeastern Gorny Altai. Geochronological (U–Pb and Ar–Ar) isotope studies show their formation in the Early–Middle Triassic (~ 234–250 Ma). Lamproites have been revealed within two magmatic areas and correspond in geochemical parameters to the classical Mediterranean and Tibet orogenic lamproites. According to isotope data ((87Sr/86Sr)T = 0.70850–0.70891, (143Nd/144Nd)T = 0.512157–0.512196, 206Pb/204Pb = 17.95–18.05) and Th/La and Sm/La values, the Chuya lamproites and lamprophyres melted out from the enriched lithospheric mantle with the participation of DM, EM1, EM2, and SALATHO. The monzonitoid series of the Tarkhata and Terandzhik complexes are similar in petrographic and geochemical compositions but differ significantly in Sr–Nd isotope composition: The Tarkhata monzonitoids are close to the Chuya lamproites, whereas the Terandzhik ones show a higher portion of DM ((87Sr/86Sr)T = 0.70434–0.70497, (143Nd/144Nd)T = 0.512463–0.512487) in their source, which suggests its shallower depth of occurrence and the higher degree of its partial melting as compared with the derivates of the Chuya and Tarkhata complexes. The studied rock associations tentatively formed in the postcollisional setting under the impact of the Siberian superplume.

Abstract
Based on the analysis of experimental data on the viscosity of mafic to ultramafic magmatic melts with the use of our structure–chemical model for the calculation and prediction of the viscosity of magmas, we have first predicted that diamond-carryihg kimberlite magma must ascend from mantle to crust with considerable acceleration. The viscosity of kimberlite magma decreases by more than three times during its genesis, evolution, and ascent from mantle to crust despite the significant decrease in the temperature of the ascending kimberlite magma (~ 150 °C) and its partial crystallization and degassing. In the case of partial melting (&lt; 1 wt.%) of carbonated peridotite in the mantle at depths of 250–350 km, high-viscosity (~ 35 Pas) kimberlite melts can be generated at ~ 8.5 GPa and ~ 1350 °C, the water content in the melt being up to ~ 8 wt.%, C(OH-) = 0-2 wt.%, and C(H2O) = 0-6 wt.%. On the other hand, during the formation of kimberlite pipes, dikes, and sills, the viscosity of near-surface kimberlite melts is much lower (~ 10 Pa s) at ~ 50 MPa and 1200 °C, the volume contents of crystals (Vcr) and the fluid phase (bubbles) (Vfl) are 35 and 5 vol.%, respectively, and the water content in magma, C(OH-), is 0.5 wt.%. On the contrary, the viscosity of basaltic magmas increases by more than two orders of magnitude during their ascent from mantle to crust. The basaltic magmas which can be generated in the asthenosphere at depths of ~ 100 km have the minimum viscosity (up to ~ 2.3 Pas) at ~ 4.0 GPa, 1350 °C, C(OH-) - 3 wt.%, and C(H2O) - 5 wt.%. However, at the final stage of evolution (e.g., during volcanic eruptions), the viscosity of basaltic magma is considerably higher (600 Pa s) at ~ 10 MPa, 1180 °C, Vcr - 30 vol.%, Vf - 15 vol.%, and C(OH-) - 0.5 wt.%.
Past Tense Production in Children With and Without Specific Language Impairment Across Germanic Languages: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Krok Windi C. , Leonard Laurence B. 
Published: June 2015

PurposeThis study examined the extent to which children with specific language impairment (SLI) across Germanic languages differ from their typically developing (TD) peers in the use of past tense morphology.MethodA systematic literature search identified empirical studies examining regular and/or irregular past tense production by English and non-English Germanic-speaking children with SLI and their TD peers. Data from qualifying studies were extracted and converted to Hedges'sgeffect sizes.ResultsSeventeen English and 8 non-English Germanic studies met inclusionary criteria. Comparing children with SLI and their TD age-matched (TDA) peers resulted in large combined effect sizes for English and non-English Germanic regular and irregular past tense production. Comparisons between children with SLI and their TD younger (TDY) peers also revealed large combined effect sizes for English and non-English Germanic regular past tense production. Effect sizes for studies comparing SLI and TDY irregular past tense production were large for non-English Germanic-speaking children and moderate for English-speaking children.ConclusionsResults suggest that children with SLI across Germanic languages do indeed have more difficulty marking verbs for past tense than TDA and TDY peers. The findings suggest that the potential value of past tense production as a clinical marker of SLI may well extend beyond English.
A Computational Model Quantifies the Effect of Anatomical Variability on Velopharyngeal Function
Authors: Inouye Joshua M. , Perry Jamie L. , Lin Kant Y. , Blemker Silvia S. 
Published: June 2015

Purpose
This study predicted the effects of velopharyngeal (VP) anatomical parameters on VP function to provide a greater understanding of speech mechanics and aid in the treatment of speech disorders.

Method
We created a computational model of the VP mechanism using dimensions obtained from magnetic resonance imaging measurements of 10 healthy adults. The model components included the levator veli palatini (LVP), the velum, and the posterior pharyngeal wall, and the simulations were based on material parameters from the literature. The outcome metrics were the VP closure force and LVP muscle activation required to achieve VP closure.

Results
Our average model compared favorably with experimental data from the literature. Simulations of 1,000 random anatomies reflected the large variability in closure forces observed experimentally. VP distance had the greatest effect on both outcome metrics when considering the observed anatomic variability. Other anatomical parameters were ranked by their predicted influences on the outcome metrics.

Conclusions
Our results support the implication that interventions for VP dysfunction that decrease anterior to posterior VP portal distance, increase velar length, and/or increase LVP cross-sectional area may be very effective. Future modeling studies will help to further our understanding of speech mechanics and optimize treatment of speech disorders.
The Committee on Standards in Public Life: Twenty Years of the Nolan Principles 1995–2015
Authors: Bew Paul 
Published: June 2015

AbstractIn his recent memoir, William Waldegrave wrote that no country run by John Major and Robin Butler was likely to be in much danger of systemic corruption. The fact remains that a quarter of a century ago, John Major, with the guidance and support of his cabinet secretary, decided to establish the Committee on Standards in Public Life under the chairmanship of Lord Nolan. The apparent prevalence of ‘sleaze’ issues in public life—most notably the ‘cash for questions’ scandals involving Tory MPs—provoked the decision. Lord Nolan's committee immediately enunciated seven principles of public life: honesty, accountability, integrity, selflessness, openness, opportunity and leadership. Over the years, many of the Committee's recommendations have been accepted. There is today vastly greater transparency. The principles have been widely accepted; it is clear the public expects that they should be observed by public servants, including, perhaps especially, MPs. Yet it is equally clear that there is a widespread and still deepening mood of public cynicism on standards matters. The Committee is determined to defend the Nolan principles, but without more help from the political class it will be like Mrs Nupkins in The Pickwick Papers: inculcating moral lessons of great importance and generally ignored.
Gambling and gambling‐related problems in France
Authors: Valleur Marc 
Published: June 2015

AbstractAimsTo provide an overview of the gambling landscape and gambling‐related problems in France, including the history, legislation, gambling policy and epidemiological data on excessive gambling.MethodA literature review, using Medline, PsycInfo and Toxibase/OFDT databases, based on the systematic monitoring of scientific literature since 2008 (including French and international papers).ResultsSince 1776 and the creation of the royal lottery, state monopoly has been the main pillar of gambling policy in France. Increases in gambling venues and opportunities, growing evidence of gambling‐related problems, pressures from the European Commission and the growth of on‐line gambling have led to major changes in this policy: while land‐based gambling remains mainly in the form of a state monopoly, on‐line gambling was partially liberalized in 2010, and regulation authorities were established. The first epidemiological survey was conducted in 2010. Rates of problematic gambling in France are within the average of other European countries. Treatment has begun to be made available within addiction centres.ConclusionA majority of on‐line gamblers in France use legal websites, which was one of the initial goals of liberalization. Recent studies confirm that the prevalence of problem gambling in France is far higher among on‐line gamblers than among land‐based gamblers; however, this difference cannot be attributed only to greater addictiveness of on‐line gambling.

Published: June 2015

SummaryObjectivePre‐operative imaging techniques have enabled minimally invasive parathyroid surgery to supersede the traditional approach to hyperparathyroidism (HPT) surgery, which included cervical exploration. Cervical ultrasound (US) and sestamibi scan (MIBI) are commonly performed, but the results of these localization tests do not always match. This study correlated surgical outcomes with pre‐operative localization findings, including matched positive US and MIBI studies, one positive study (US or MIBI), conflicting studies or negative results.DesignRetrospective medical record review.PatientsA hundred and sixty nine consecutive patients who underwent parathyroidectomy from January 2005 to December 2012.MeasurementsCorrelation between surgical outcomes and pre‐operative localization tests.ResultsAll patients (134F/35M, 59·6 ± 13·5 years of age) had primary HPT. US and MIBI localization studies matched in 76%, whereas 10·7% had positive MIBI only and 8·3% US only. Studies were negative in 3·6% and contradictory in 1·8%. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy was performed in 87% of the matched group and 89% of the MIBI‐only group. Surgical success rate, defined as postoperative normalization of calcium and PTH levels, was similar in patients with a single positive study (MIBI or US) vs double‐matched studies (MIBI and US). Patients were followed up for 6 weeks. Overall, pathology was consistent with adenoma in 95%.DiscussionParathyroidectomy success rate was similar in patients with primary HPT and MIBI‐only or US‐only positive localization studies compared to those with matched US/MIBI studies. The results support a clinical algorithm in which positive results from one imaging technique, either MIBI or US, are sufficient to refer a patient for parathyroid surgery.

Reference Values for Real Time Three‐Dimensional Echocardiography–Derived Left Ventricular Volumes and Ejection Fraction: Review and Meta‐Analysis of Currently Available Studies
Authors: Buccheri Sergio , Costanzo Luca , Tamburino Corrado , Monte Ines 
Published: June 2015

IntroductionCurrent guidelines recommend three‐dimensional echocardiography (3DE) as the reference technique to assess left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF). We performed a meta‐analysis to identify normative reference values by real time 3DE in healthy subjects.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library databases using the key search terms three‐dimensional echocardiography, volumes, and healthy. Data were pooled using random‐effects meta‐analysis, and source of variation was investigated using meta‐regression. After selection, 13 articles were included (2806 subjects). Four studies were conducted in children and young adolescents; one study provided data in an independent pediatric subgroup.ResultsIn adults, pooled mean value for LV EDV was 98.4 mL (95%CI, 87–110 mL), while LV ESV mean value was 37.0 mL (95%CI, 32–42 mL). LV EF mean value was 62.9% (95%CI 61.7–64.2%). Male subjects showed a significant increase in both LV EDV index (mean difference 5.3 mL/m2; P < 0.001) and LV ESV index (mean difference 3.3 mL/m2; P < 0.001). LV EF was significantly higher in female subjects (P = 0.003). In pediatric studies, LV EDV pooled mean value was 53.1 mL (95%CI, 38.1–68 mL), while for LV ESV, it was 19.8 mL (95%CI, 14.8–24.8 mL); LV EF mean value was 63.3% (95%CI, 61.6–65%). Significant heterogeneity and inconsistency were noted among studies. Age, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate were identified as a source of between‐studies variation for LV volumes. Body surface area was a predictor of nonindexed LV volumes.ConclusionsData from available studies of normative values for 3DE were summarized. Our findings may increase the generalizability of LV normative data by 3DE.
