Feasibility and Perception of Using Text Messages as an Adjunct Therapy for Low-Income, Minority Mothers With Postpartum Depression
Authors: Broom Matthew A , Ladley Amy S , Rhyne Elizabeth A , Halloran Donna R 
Published: March 2015

Background
Postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common medical problem among new mothers that can have a negative impact on infant health. Traditional treatments are often difficult for low-income mothers to complete, particularly given the numerous barriers families face.

Objective
Among low-income, primarily racial, and ethnic minority mothers with postpartum depression, our aim was to evaluate (1) the feasibility of sending supportive text messages, and (2) the perception of receiving private, supportive text messages for postpartum depression.

Methods
Mothers found to be at risk for postpartum depression received supportive text messages four times weekly for 6 months in addition to receiving access to traditional counseling services based within an academic pediatric office. Feasibility was evaluated along with cellular and text messaging use, access, and perception of the message protocol. Perception of the message protocol was evaluated at study completion via a Likert scale questionnaire and open-ended qualitative survey.

Results
In total, 4158/4790 (86.81%) text messages were successfully delivered to 54 mothers over a 6-month period at a low cost (US $777.60). Among the 96 scripted messages, 37 unique messages (38.54%) allowed for a response. Of all sent messages that allowed for responses, 7.30% (118/1616) were responded to, and 66.1% of those responses requested a call back; 46% (25/54) of mothers responded at least once to a text message. Mothers felt that messages were easily received and read (25/28, 89%) and relevant to them personally (23/28, 82%). Most shared texts with others (21/28, 75%).

Conclusions
Text messaging is feasible, well-accepted, and may serve as a simple, inexpensive adjunct therapy well-suited to cross socioeconomic boundaries and provide private support for at-risk mothers suffering from postpartum depression.
An evaluation of self-esteem and quality of life in orthodontic patients: Effects of crowding and protrusion
Authors: Jung Min-Ho 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of dental crowding and lip protrusion on self-esteem and quality of life (QOL) in female orthodontic patients with Class I malocclusion.

Materials and Methods:
The study sample consisted of 201 patients (mean age 22.6 ± 3.0 years) who sought orthodontic treatment. All the patients were evaluated before treatment in terms of their degree of dental crowding and lip protrusion. Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) were used to determine self-esteem and QOL and to evaluate whether these values were related to malocclusion severity.

Results:
The results indicated that severe crowding and severe protrusion can result in lower self-esteem and poorer QOL (P &lt; .05) than mild crowding and protrusion in Class I malocclusion. In the oral function component of the OQLQ, the severity of protrusion did not have significant effect.

Conclusions:
In Class I malocclusion, patients with mild crowding or protrusion had significantly better self-esteem and QOL scores than severe crowding or protrusion patients.
Risk Diversification Between Stock Markets In Germany And Bosnia And Herzegovina
Authors: Zaimović Azra , Arnaut Berilo Almira 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
The integration of global equity markets has been a well-studied topic in the last few decades, particularly after stock market crashes. Most studies have focused on developed markets such as the US, Western Europe and Japan. The findings were that the degree of international co-movements among stock prices has substantially increased in the post-crash regime. In this paper we research the co-movements of German and Bosnian stock markets during and after the recent economic and financial crisis.
International market integration means that assets of equal risk provide the same expected returns across integrated markets. This means fewer opportunities for risk diversification if the markets are integrated. It is also believed that stock market indices of integrated markets move together over the long run with the possibility of short-run divergence. There is considerable academic research on the benefits of international diversification. Investors who buy stocks in domestic as well in foreign markets seek to reduce risk through international diversification. The risk reduction takes place if the various markets are not perfectly correlated. The increasing correlation among markets during and after the crises has restricted the scope for international diversification.
International stock market linkages are the subject of extensive research due to rapid capital flows between countries because of financial deregulation, lower transaction and information costs, and the potential benefits from international diversification. Most stock markets in the world tend to move together, in the same direction, implying positive correlation. In and after crises they tend to move together even more strongly. Thus, this paper aims to research if there are any diversification opportunities by spreading out investments across developed and underdeveloped capital markets.
This research attempts to examine the scope of international diversification between German and Bosnian equity markets during the 6-year period from 2006 to 2011. We test the hypothesis of whether there are any risk diversification possibilities by spreading out the investments between German and Bosnian equity markets. In order to determine the mean-variance efficiency of portfolios we use the method of convex (quadratic and linear) programming. The hypothesis is tested with the Markowitz portfolio optimization method using our own software.
The results of this research might enhance the efficiency of portfolio management for both types of capital market under analysis, and prove especially useful for institutional investors such as investment funds.

Objective.To analyze sex difference in the effect of smoking on remission proportions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods.Subjects were Japanese patients with RA who participated in the IORRA survey conducted in April 2011 and reported smoking status. Clinical characteristics, treatment status, and the percentages achieving remission were compared between subjects stratified by sex and smoking status. To confirm the differential effects of sex and smoking status on remission, we used multivariate logistic regression models with the dependent variable as 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) remission.Results.Among 810 men and 4206 women, 162 (20.0%) and 3173 (75.4%), respectively, were never smokers; 208 (25.7%) and 314 (7.5%), respectively, were current smokers. In men, never smokers tended to have higher remission proportions than past and current smokers. In contrast, smoking status seemed not to affect remission in women. Except for lower corticosteroid dose in male never smokers, no significant differences were observed in comparing treatment status. By multivariate analyses, male past and current smokers were negatively associated with DAS28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate remission compared to male never smokers [OR 0.66 and 0.61, 95% CI (0.44–0.98) and (0.39–0.96), respectively]. However, female past and current smokers were not associated with remission compared to female never smokers [OR 1.04 and 1.19, 95% CI (0.86–1.25) and (0.91–1.54), respectively].Conclusion.We demonstrated that the effect of smoking on remission proportions differed between men and women. Our findings suggest that both sex and smoking status are important considerations when planning a treatment strategy for patients with RA.
Science’s First Mistake
Authors: Angell Ian O. , Demetis Dionysios S. 
Published: March 2015

The purpose of the book is to deconstruct the process of knowledge discovery and theory construction on the basis of the four concepts mentioned below, and thereby to discuss the circumstances under which all scientific premises come to be constructed.
The implications for theory and method are discussed against four primary and intrinsically interrelated concepts that should be of immediate interest to all scientific disciplines: namely observation, paradox, delusion, and most importantly self-reference. The book then reflects on various modes of theory-construction and -utilization. Grounded in the tradition of second-order cybernetics, the concept of self-reference is used in the context of systems theory in order to examine the mode in which observation, paradox and delusion become 'structurally coupled' with cognition. This has wide-ranging implications for not only the discovery of knowledge in itself, but also various expressions of knowledge, be they framed by reductionism or causality, and even those grandiosely claiming to approach a form of Grand Unification (as in Physics). It eventually concludes that so-called 'rigour' is merely reinforced self-reference, imposed by the power that comes with the utility delivered by the self-reference.
Rooted in information systems analysis this fresh and audacious examination of knowledge discover and theory construction makes an important contribution to the understanding of how we employ scientific method.
A State of Play
Authors: Fielding Steven 
Published: March 2015

A State of Play explores how the British have imagined their politics, from the parliament worship of Anthony Trollope to the cynicism of The Thick of It. In an account that mixes historical with political analysis, Steven Fielding argues that fictional depictions of politics have played an important but insidious part in shaping how the British think about their democracy and have helped ventilate their many frustrations with Westminster. He shows that dramas and fictions have also performed a significant role in the battle of ideas, in a way undreamt of by those who draft party manifestos.
The book examines the work of overtly political writers have treated the subject, discussing the novels of H.G. Wells, the comedy series Yes, Minister and the plays of David Hare. However, it also assesses how less obvious sources, such as the films of George Formby, the novels of Agatha Christie, the Just William stories and situation comedies like Steptoe and Son, have reflected on representative democracy.
A State of Play is an invaluable, distinctive and engaging guide to a new way of thinking about Britain's political past and present.

Gestion de la Relation Client et performance des PME
Authors: Ambroise Laure , Prim-Allaz Isabelle 
Published: March 2015

Cette étude vise à décrire la façon dont les PME déclinent leur orientation stratégique en une démarche de Gestion de la Relation Client (GRC) et à évaluer l’impact de sa mise en œuvre sur leur performance. Une enquête de grande envergure menée auprès de 439 dirigeants de PME étaye la portée des résultats. Des analyses en composantes principales mixtes et des classifications hiérarchiques ascendantes ont permis de caractériser cinq groupes de PME homogènes selon leur stratégie de GRC. Les conclusions de l’étude confirment que la perspective temporelle du dirigeant et son orientation de marché ont un impact important sur le type de stratégie relationnelle conduite et sur les outils de suivi et de gestion de la relation mis en œuvre. De façon générale, il s’avère que les retombées sur la performance financière ne se constatent qu’à moyen terme ; pour autant, les résultats montrent des effets contrastés selon les groupes de PME.
L’utilité d’une garantie de service : le point de vue du personnel en contact
Authors: Auriacombe Brigitte 
Published: March 2015

Cet article étudie un phénomène interactif mal connu : l’invocation de la garantie de service inconditionnelle. Une étude qualitative permet d’étudier le phénomène à travers trois questions : pour quels incidents la garantie est-elle invoquée ? Comment se déroule le processus d’invocation ? À quelle compensation l’invocation aboutit-elle ? L’étude révèle également comment le personnel en contact, en interaction avec le client, interprète les incidents et décide ou pas d’invoquer la garantie. La portée de l’étude dépasse les seules garanties de service et concerne aussi le traitement des réclamations. Enfin, l’article présente trois recommandations managériales pour faciliter l’usage de la garantie de service par le personnel en contact.
Innover dans le secteur traditionnel : l’importance de l’authenticité et de la typicalité perçues
Authors: Pantin-Sohier Gaëlle , Lancelot Miltgen Caroline , Camus Sandra 
Published: March 2015

L’article traite des perceptions des consommateurs à l’égard des produits traditionnels porteurs d’innovation. En s’attachant au secteur agro-alimentaire, il analyse la manière dont l’innovation (par l’arôme ou le packaging, incrémentale ou radicale) sur des produits traditionnels influence deux variables clés de la prise de décision des consommateurs : l’authenticité et la typicalité perçues. A partir d’une synthèse de la littérature et d’une expérimentation par plan factoriel complet menée auprès de 383 individus, il confirme le caractère holistique du jugement de typicalité et la plus forte typicalité de la combinaison « arôme incrémental/packaging incrémental ». Il montre également que l’innovation « packaging » influence positivement la dimension « origine » de l’authenticité lorsqu’elle est incrémentale alors que l’innovation « arôme » influence positivement la dimension « singularité » de l’authenticité lorsqu’elle est radicale. Enfin, l’analyse permet d’identifier une relation positive entre la typicalité, les dimensions « projection » et « singularité » de l’authenticité et l’attitude envers le produit.

This paper, focusing on classical Athens, studies the forms of assistance granted to the widows by the, or by thedelegated to the. The epitaphs preserved in Thucydides, Lysias and Plato’sbear witness of the Athenians’ respectful and sensitive attitude towards widows, which however did not imply any form of direct support, unlike the orphan case (§ 1.). Legal assistance was indeed provided by the eponymous archon, but only to pregnant widows, who could bear legitimate male descent; other forms of public assistance are not attested (§ 2.). Otherwise, the guardianship was delegated by theto thethrough the; besides, remarriage was not infrequent, particularly for young widows in childbearing age (§ 3.). In this light, the city’s attitude towards widows was respectful and even sensitive, but appears far from uninterested: in fact the, rather than the, actually guaranteed subsistence to widows, even to war ones, while thechiefly cared for legal assistance for those who could generate legitimate citizens (§ 4.).

Objective: The objective of this pilot study was to examine the effects of a brief, 6-week, 1.5-hour mind-body intervention for depression (MBID) in patients being treated for depression in 2 community health centers. Design: The MBID taught techniques such as meditation that elicit the relaxation response (RR) in combination with additional resiliency-enhancing components. Clinical outcomes of 24 depressed patients were measured pre-MBID, at completion of MBID, and 3 months post-MBID, using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D 10), Quality of Life Scale (QoL5), SF-12 Health Survey (SF-12), and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II). Results: Significant post-treatment improvements were shown in depressive symptoms, spiritual growth, mental health, and quality of life, with a median CES-D 10 change from 17.5 (interquartile ratio [IQR] 13.3–22) to 12 (IQR 10–17.5; P<.001); a median HPLP-II Spiritual Growth subscale change from 2.0 (IQR 1.8–2.3) to 2.3 (IQR 2.0–3.0; P=.002) and a median HPLP-II Stress Management sub-scale change from 2.0 (IQR 1.8–2.4) to 2.4 (IQR 2.0–2.9; P=.027); significant improvement in median score on the QoL-5 from 53.3 (IQR 47.5–62.5) at baseline to 63.3 at endpoint (IQR 50–70; P=.008). Three-month follow-up data suggest that the improvement in outcomes were sustained 3 months after the intervention. Conclusions: Participation in a 6-week RR-based MBID is associated with an improvement in depression, spiritual growth, and mental health among depressed community health center patients.

Published: March 2015

Background: Nonspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a highly prevalent and costly public health problem with few treatment options that provide consistent and greater than modest benefits. Treatment of CLBP is shifting from unimodal to multimodal and multidisciplinary approaches, including biopsychoso-cially-based complementary and integrative care. Multidisciplinary approaches require unique levels of communication and coordination amongst clinicians; however, to date few studies have evaluated patterns of communication and decision making amongst clinicians collaborating in the care of challenging patients with CLBP. Methods: As part of an observational study evaluating the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an integrative, team-based care model for the treatment of CLBP, we used multiple qualitative research methods to characterize within-team cross-referral and communication amongst jointly-trained practitioners representing diverse biomedical and complementary disciplines. Patterns of communication and coordinated care are summarized for 3 cases of CLBP treated by multiple members (≥3) of an integrative medical team embedded within an academic hospital. Results: Patients were aged from 36 to 88 years with varied comorbidities. Qualitative content analysis revealed 5 emergent themes regarding integrative patient care and treatment decision in this clinic: (1) the fundamental importance of the clinic's formal teamwork training; (2) the critical communicative and collaborative function of regular team meetings; (3) the importance to patient care goals of having the varied disciplines practicing “under one roof”; (4) a universal commitment to understanding and treating patients as whole persons; and (5) a shared philosophy of helping patients to help themselves. These key themes are all interconnected and form the foundation of the clinic's culture. Conclusions: Our qualitative findings provide context for current trends in enhancing patient-centered, coordinated, and team-based care; efforts towards better understanding interprofessional communication; overcoming barriers to successful collaboration; and identifying best practices for fostering clinical teamwork and a strong team identity. Our findings also support the need for further qualitative research, in combination with quantitative research, for evaluating the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of resource-intensive integrative models for the treatment of chronic conditions.
Aviation Software: Safety and Security

Published: March 2015

Aviation systems, both airborne and ground, (e.g., flight controls, avionics, engine control, and air traffic control) are typical examples of safety‐critical, real‐time systems. Such systems continue to become more complex and are extremely software reliant. Modern aircrafts, composed on numerous software‐controlled systems, operate within constraints of a National Airspace System (NAS) that includes air traffic management, weather services, airline and airport operations, communication facilities, navigation infrastructure, and so on. NAS is a software‐intensive system of systems with multiple components and of incredible complexity.Software is critical in all aspects of modern aviation, whether it is for development, operation flexibility, or fault tolerance. Technological progress, particularly in the electronics and computing areas, changed the aviation industry. Safety has always been a critical factor for aviation; with increased interconnectivity of networked systems and potential vulnerability for malicious attacks, security becomes likewise important. This chapter presents basic concepts and definitions of safety and security together with their mutual relationship. Representative techniques, methods, and tools used to facilitate software assurance are discussed. In addition, the chapter introduces regulations and certification guidance as applied to the development of software‐intensive aviation systems from the perspective of safety and security.

Published: March 2015

Multiclassifier systems, the focus of this article, provide scientists and data professionals with powerful techniques for tackling complex datasets. The basic idea behind the multiclassifier approach is to average the decisions or hypotheses of a diverse group of classifiers in order to produce a better decision or hypothesis.As an introduction to our subject, we begin with a detailed examination of the canonic single‐classifier system, as this provides the mathematical foundation needed in our presentation of multiclassifier systems. We then describe some important methods for constructing multiclassifier systems at all the levels mentioned above: the classifier level, the combination level, the data level, and the feature level.We thus end our overview of multiclassifier systems with a section that provides guidance for experimentally constructing general‐purpose (GP) multiclassifier systems.
