Published: November 2015

ObjectiveTo pilot and feasibility-test supervised final year undergraduate pharmacy student-led medication reviews for patients with diabetes to enable definitive trial design.MethodThird year pharmacy students were recruited from one UK School of Pharmacy and trained to review patient's medical records and provide face-to-face consultations under supervision while situated within the patient's medical practice. Patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited by postal invitation letter from their medical practice and randomised via automated system to intervention or usual care. Diabetes-related clinical data, quality of life, patient reported beliefs, adherence and satisfaction with medicines information were collected with validated tools at baseline and 6 months postintervention. The process for collecting resource utilisation data was tested. Stakeholder meetings were held before and after intervention to develop study design and learn from its implementation. Recruitment and attrition rates were determined plus the quality of the outcome data. Power calculations for a definitive trial were performed on the different outcome measures to identify the most appropriate primary outcome measure.Results792 patients were identified as eligible from five medical practices. 133 (16.8%) were recruited and randomised to control (n=66) or usual care (n=67). 32 students provided the complete intervention to 58 patients. Initial data analysis showed potential for impact in the right direction for some outcomes measured including glycated haemoglobin, quality of life and patient satisfaction with information about medicines. The intervention was found to be feasible and acceptable to patients. The pilot and feasibility study enabled the design of a future full randomised controlled trial.ConclusionsStudent and patient recruitment are possible. The intervention was well received and demonstrated some potential benefits. While the intervention was relatively inexpensive and provided an experiential learning opportunity for pharmacy students, its cost-effectiveness remains to be determined.Trial registration numberISRCTN26445805; Results.
Jet energy calibration at the LHC
Authors: Schwartzman Ariel 
Published: November 2015

Jets are one of the most prominent physics signatures of high energy proton–proton (p–p) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). They are key physics objects for precision measurements and searches for new phenomena. This review provides an overview of the reconstruction and calibration of jets at the LHC during its first Run. ATLAS and CMS developed different approaches for the reconstruction of jets, but use similar methods for the energy calibration. ATLAS reconstructs jets utilizing input signals from their calorimeters and use charged particle tracks to refine their energy measurement and suppress the effects of multiple p–p interactions (pileup). CMS, instead, combines calorimeter and tracking information to build jets from particle flow objects. Jets are calibrated using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and a residual in situ calibration derived from collision data is applied to correct for the differences in jet response between data and Monte Carlo. Large samples of dijet, [Formula: see text]+jets, and [Formula: see text]+events at the LHC allowed the calibration of jets with high precision, leading to very small systematic uncertainties. Both ATLAS and CMS achieved a jet energy calibration uncertainty of about 1% in the central detector region and for jets with transverse momentum [Formula: see text]. At low jet [Formula: see text], the jet energy calibration uncertainty is less than 4%, with dominant contributions from pileup, differences in energy scale between quark and gluon jets, and jet flavor composition.
Search for physics beyond the Standard Model using jet observables
Authors: Kousouris Konstantinos 
Published: November 2015

Jet observables have been exploited extensively during the LHC Run 1 to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this article, the most recent results from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations are summarized. Data from proton–proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV center-of-mass energy have been analyzed to study monojet, dijet, and multijet final states, searching for a variety of new physics signals that include colored resonances, contact interactions, extra dimensions, and supersymmetric particles. The exhaustive searches with jets in Run 1 did not reveal any signal, and the results were used to put stringent exclusion limits on the new physics models.

[Formula: see text] amorphous alloy was prepared by melt-spinning and annealed at various temperatures. The thermal property, microstructure and magnetic property were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The crystallization process of [Formula: see text] alloy is as follow: Amorphous [Formula: see text] residual amorphous [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] solid solution. Coercivity [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] alloy changes complexly, which abruptly deteriorates at 843 K and then softens with increasing annealing temperature [Formula: see text].
Optical spectrum evolution induced by altering input light wavelength spacing
Authors: Wang Minjie , Ma Caiwen 
Published: November 2015

This study explored the optical spectrum evolution process using a pump-modulated light and a continuous-wave probe, launched simultaneously into a 1 km highly nonlinear fiber. A total of 70 optical spectra were obtained by each changing the wavelength spacing (0.4 nm) between the probe and pump lights. Simulation results indicated that wavelength spacing between the two beams caused a cyclical optical spectrum evolution process induced by cross-phase modulation. As input light wavelength spacing increased, the coupling between the two optical fields showed obvious attenuation in each neat, multi-peak cycle.

Abstract
During the Palaeozoic–Early Cenozoic, Georgia and adjacent areas represented part of the Tethys ocean and its northern margin. At the pre-collisional stage, systems of island-arc and back-arc structures can be distinguished along the southern margin of the East European continent and the oceanic basin. Several events of supra-subduction magmatic activity and obduction of oceanic crust fragments took place during the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Early Cenozoic. New results obtained through the International Research Group and DARIUS projects can be used to build a base for more precise tectonic zoning of the southern Caucasus and adjacent areas, the correlation of these zones and better substantiated Mesozoic–Early Cenozoic palaeotectonic reconstructions of the region. The final closure of the oceanic and back-arc basins and the formation of the present day structure of Georgia and adjacent countries occurred in the Late Cenozoic. The collision between the Africa–Arabian and Eurasian plates caused inversion of the relief and, in place of the intra-arc and back-arc basins, the mountain fold–thrust belts of the Great and Lesser Caucasus were formed with the Transcaucasian intermontane depression between them. The marine basins of Georgia were replaced by euxinic basins and, later, by continental basins with subaerial sedimentation and volcanism.
Approximate Translational Building Blocks for Image Decomposition and Synthesis
Authors: Li Chuan , Wand Michael 
Published: November 2015

We introduce approximate translational building blocks for unsupervised image decomposition. Such building blocks are frequently appearing copies of image patches that are mapped coherently under translations.
We exploit the coherency assumption to find approximate building blocks in noisy and ambiguous image data, using a spectral embedding of re-occurrence patterns. We quantitatively evaluate our method on a large benchmark dataset and obtain clear improvements over state-of-the-art methods. We apply our method to texture synthesis by integrating building block constraints and their offset statistics into a conventional Markov random field model. A user study shows improved retargeting results even if the images are only partially described by a few classes of building blocks.

Background—
Smoking is an important cardiovascular disease risk factor, but the mechanisms linking smoking to blood pressure are poorly understood.

Methods and Results—
Data on 141 317 participants (62 666 never, 40 669 former, 37 982 current smokers) from 23 population-based studies were included in observational and Mendelian randomization meta-analyses of the associations of smoking status and smoking heaviness with systolic and diastolic blood pressure, hypertension, and resting heart rate. For the Mendelian randomization analyses, a genetic variant rs16969968/rs1051730 was used as a proxy for smoking heaviness in current smokers. In observational analyses, current as compared with never smoking was associated with lower systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure and lower hypertension risk, but with higher resting heart rate. In observational analyses among current smokers, 1 cigarette/day higher level of smoking heaviness was associated with higher (0.21 bpm; 95% confidence interval 0.19; 0.24) resting heart rate and slightly higher diastolic blood pressure (0.05 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval 0.02; 0.08) and systolic blood pressure (0.08 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval 0.03; 0.13). However, in Mendelian randomization analyses among current smokers, although each smoking increasing allele of rs16969968/rs1051730 was associated with higher resting heart rate (0.36 bpm/allele; 95% confidence interval 0.18; 0.54), there was no strong association with diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, or hypertension. This would suggest a 7 bpm higher heart rate in those who smoke 20 cigarettes/day.

Conclusions—
This Mendelian randomization meta-analysis supports a causal association of smoking heaviness with higher level of resting heart rate, but not with blood pressure. These findings suggest that part of the cardiovascular risk of smoking may operate through increasing resting heart rate.
The state and the reconstruction of civil society
Authors: Brandsen Taco , Trommel Willem , Verschuere Bram 
Published: November 2015

The current relationship between the state and civil society in Europe is a curious and historically unique one. This is no longer a situation in which participation and association prepare citizens for the offices of the state; rather, it is the state urging a sometimes-reluctant citizenry to engage actively in civil society. This phenomenon stems from a combination of changes in prevailing governance paradigms and of the more general process of social liquefaction. In the article, we analyse these two intertwining trends and discuss the new type of relationship between the state and civil society that may be emerging. Points for practitioners The article puts the current vogue for renewed state–civil society relationships in a larger context. It shows that, however commendable many initiatives may be, there is the risk that the desire on the part of governments for their citizens to participate and self-organize may lead the state to take over such initiatives, leading to a manufactured civil society that has little to do with spontaneous citizen initiatives. Another possible consequence is that truly spontaneous citizen initiatives will shun collaboration with the state and focus only inwards, to the detriment of broader public values. Therefore, in this area, the state must strike a delicate balance between encouragement and restraint.
What are the views of hospital-based generalist palliative care professionals on what facilitates or hinders collaboration with in-patient specialist palliative care teams? A systematically constructed narrative synthesis
Authors: Firn Janice , Preston Nancy , Walshe Catherine 
Published: November 2015

Background: Hospital-based specialist palliative care services are common, yet existing evidence of inpatient generalist providers’ perceptions of collaborating with hospital-based specialist palliative care teams has never been systematically assessed. Aim: To assess the existing evidence of inpatient generalist palliative care providers’ perceptions of what facilitates or hinders collaboration with hospital-based specialist palliative care teams. Design: Narrative literature synthesis with systematically constructed search. Data sources: PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature and ProQuest Social Services databases were searched up to December 2014. Individual journal, citation and reference searching were also conducted. Papers with the views of generalist inpatient professional caregivers who utilised hospital-based specialist palliative care team services were included in the narrative synthesis. Hawker’s criteria were used to assess the quality of the included studies. Results: Studies included ( n = 23) represented a variety of inpatient generalist palliative care professionals’ experiences of collaborating with specialist palliative care. Effective collaboration is experienced by many generalist professionals. Five themes were identified as improving or decreasing effective collaboration: model of care (integrated vs linear), professional onus, expertise and trust, skill building versus deskilling and specialist palliative care operations. Collaboration is fostered when specialist palliative care teams practice proactive communication, role negotiation and shared problem-solving and recognise generalists’ expertise. Conclusion: Fuller integration of specialist palliative care services, timely sharing of information and mutual respect increase generalists’ perceptions of effective collaboration. Further research is needed regarding the experiences of non-physician and non-nursing professionals as their views were either not included or not explicitly reported.
Undervaluation and private equity takeovers
Authors: Rath Subhrendu , Rashid Mamunur 
Published: November 2015

Undervaluation is often offered as an important consideration in private equity transactions. This study analyzes the importance of undervaluation, vis-à-vis information asymmetry, as a determining factor in ‘going-private’ transactions in Australia. Using a matched sample of firms from 1990 to 2012, we test a predictive choice model. The empirical results show that market undervaluation is a dominant factor in private equity takeovers. These results are robust to alternative measures of valuation, prevailing market conditions, money flows and subperiods. JEL Classification: G11, G15
Trade Credit, Bank Credit and Crisis: Some Empirical Evidence for India?
Authors: Ghosh Saibal 
Published: November 2015

Employing data on an extended sample of manufacturing firms during 1993–2012, the article studies the inter-linkage between trade credit and bank credit and how it evolved during the crisis. Accordingly, we first discuss the relevance of a trade-credit channel in India and subsequently, explore the interplay between these two financing forms. The analysis provides some evidence in favour of a trade-credit channel in India. More importantly, the findings indicate that bank credit and trade credit are complementary, although there was a differential impact on accounts payable (demand) and accounts receivables (supply) during the crisis.

Stock Market Efficiency in Developing Economies
Authors: Mukherji Ronit 
Published: November 2015

This article analyses the degree of stock market efficiency in three emerging economies— India, China and Brazil. It tests to see if US stock returns have an influence on endogenous stock returns, even after controlling for domestic macroeconomic variables. A country-specific vector auto-regression model is used to test the short-run effects and the fully modified ordinary least square procedure has been used to find the long-run relationship, thus checking for degree of efficiency in these stock markets. The results indicate that, despite controlling for key domestic stock return determinants, US stock returns have a significant positive relationship with the stock returns of all three countries.

Published: November 2015

Abstract
Introduction
Adult stem cell-derived hepatocytes transplantation holds considerable promise for future clinical individualized therapy of liver failure or dysfunction. However, the low engraftment of the available hepatocytes in the liver disease microenvironment has been a major obstacle.

Methods
Acellular human amniotic membrane was developed as a three-dimensional scaffold and combined with hepatocyte-like cells derived from human adipose stem cells to engineer a hepatic tissue graft that would allow hepatocyte engraftment in the liver effectively.

Results
The hepatic tissue grafts maintained hepatocyte-specific gene expression and functionality in vitro. When transplanted into the surgical incision in livers for engraftment, the engineered hepatic grafts significantly decreased the degree of liver injury caused by a carbon tetrachloride treatment and generated cords that were similar to the ductal plates in the liver between the acellular human amniotic membrane and the liver of receipts at day 3 post-transplantation. The hepatic tissue grafts maintained the expression of human hepatocyte-specific markers albumin, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α, and cytochrome P450 2B6 in the liver of receipts, and acquired human-specific drug metabolism ability at eight weeks post-transplantation.

Conclusions
The acellular human amniotic membrane has the ability to maintain the functional phenotype of the hepatocyte-like cells derived from human adipose stem cells. Functional acellular human amniotic membrane-hepatocytes grafts integrated with the liver decreases the acute liver injury of mice. These engineered tissue constructs may support stem cell-based individualized therapy for liver disease and for bioartificial liver establishment.
