Sprinting Activities and Distance Covered by Top Level Europa League Soccer Players
Authors: Andrzejewski Marcin , Chmura Jan , Pluta Beata , Konarski Jan M. 
Published: June 2015

This study presents a detailed analysis of sprinting activities and distance covered by professional soccer players in two seasons of the Europa League competition. The investigation considered such variables as the mean sprinting distance covered, duration of the rest pause between sprinting activities and maximal running speed recorded during the match. The study involved 147 soccer players participating in 10 matches played at one ground in the 2008–2009 and 2010–2011 Europa League seasons. Players' performance data were divided into two halves of matches and five playing positions. The study was carried out using data from Amisco Pro (version 1.0.2.). Results indicate wide variations in the analyzed variables, depending on the playing position on the pitch and tactical tasks. Individualization of training speed and endurance loads will help to optimize the training process of soccer players at different levels of their athletic skills.
Dividing Nature by the Joints
Authors: Wiener Chad 
Published: June 2015

AbstractMost scholars of Aristotle’s biology have accepted the view of D. M. Balme and Pierre Pellegrin that the History of Animals is devoid of any systematic classification of animals. I challenge this reading. I show that Aristotle can produce a taxonomy of animals kinds that are found in the essences of atomic species, or, to borrow from Plato, divide nature by the joints. I start from Aristotle’s positive views of division stated in APo. II.13–14 and how they imply a taxonomic order of a genus. I then develop my interpretation of how Aristotle can divide nature by the joints in respect to his criticisms of division in APr. I.31 paired with the methodology developed in APr. I.27–30. I conclude by illustrating that Aristotle employs this methodology to divide the genus animal by its joints in the History of Animals and how he seeks out the taxonomic order of the genus animal in that work.
Sonographic diagnosis of simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture
Authors: Natanzi Naveed , Lee Sujin , Onishi Kentaro , Zhao Xing , Takemoto Ronald 
Published: June 2015

AbstractSimultaneous, bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is a rare pathology, commonly predisposed by trauma or systemic disorders. Diagnosis based on history, physical examination and plain films can be delayed in acute injury. We report a case of simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture that was diagnosed with sonographic evaluation 6 weeks after the initial injury.
Deformance, Performativity, Posthumanism
Authors: Reynolds David S. 
Published: June 2015

David S. Reynolds, “Deformance, Performativity, Posthumanism: The Subversive Style and Radical Politics of George Lippard’s The Quaker City” (pp. 36–64)
The most interesting American example of the genre known as city-mysteries fiction, George Lippard’s The Quaker City (1844–45), while rich in characters, stymies the novelistic stability conventionally provided by the struggles of heroes against villains in the mystery genre. Lippard’s style thus gets foregrounded as the locus of morality and politics, displaying an acerbic, presurrealistic edge. The current essay surveys linguistic and generic deformations (alinear narrative, irony and parody, bizarre tropes, performativity, and periperformativity) and biological and material deformations (posthuman images, including animals, objects, sonic effects, and vibrant matter) in The Quaker City to suggest how Lippard stylistically reinforces his goal of satirizing literary and social conventions and of exposing what he regards as hypocrisy and corruption on the part of America’s ruling class.

Abstract
A bacterial artificial chromosome library and BAC-end sequences for cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) have recently been developed. This report presents genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mining utilizing resequencing data with BAC-end sequences as a reference by alignment of 12 G. hirsutum L. lines, one G. barbadense L. line, and one G. longicalyx Hutch and Lee line. A total of 132,262 intraspecific SNPs have been developed for G. hirsutum, whereas 223,138 and 470,631 interspecific SNPs have been developed for G. barbadense and G. longicalyx, respectively. Using a set of interspecific SNPs, 11 randomly selected and 77 SNPs that are putatively associated with the homeologous chromosome pair 12 and 26, we mapped 77 SNPs into two linkage groups representing these chromosomes, spanning a total of 236.2 cM in an interspecific F2 population (G. barbadense 3-79 × G. hirsutum TM-1). The mapping results validated the approach for reliably producing large numbers of both intraspecific and interspecific SNPs aligned to BAC-ends. This will allow for future construction of high-density integrated physical and genetic maps for cotton and other complex polyploid genomes. The methods developed will allow for future Gossypium resequencing data to be automatically genotyped for identified SNPs along the BAC-end sequence reference for anchoring sequence assemblies and comparative studies.
Range extension and natural history observations of a rare Panamanian snake, Geophis bellus Myers, 2003 (Colubridae: Dipsadinae)
Authors: Elizondo Lara Luis C. , Sosa-Bartuano Angel , Ruback Patty , Ray Julie M. 
Published: June 2015

The fossorial snake Geophis bellus is a small Panamanian endemic previously known only from the holotype. Here we report additional specimens, which greatly expand the known range of the species ca. 200 km from the type locality into western Panama. Furthermore, we provide information on sexual dimorphism in some scalation counts and in body and tail size. Finally, we provide information on natural history, including activity period, habitat usage, and reproductive cycle. Such discoveries are important for the development of conservation plans for this species in Panamá.

Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia y los factores relacionados con la adherencia no farmacológica en pacientes con hipertensión arterial (HTA) y diabetes mellitus (DM). Metodología: estudio observacional transversal en pacientes adultos mayores de 35 años con diagnóstico de HTA o DM, atendidos en un programa de Renoprotección en cuidado primario en Cali, Colombia. Se excluyeron aquellos pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en estadío KDOQI 4-5, los que presentaran comorbilidades adicionales que deterioraran la función renal o con trastornos neuropsiquiátricos diagnosticados previamente. La adherencia no farmacológica se determinó mediante un cuestionario de autoreporte y los factores asociados a la misma se determinaron mediante regresión de Poisson con varianza robusta. Resultados: la prevalencia de la adherencia no farmacológica fue de 9,4%. La inactividad física estuvo presente en 75% de los pacientes, y más del 19% de la población consumía sal frecuentemente. Entre los diabéticos, 18% consumía carbohidratos con frecuencia. Los hombres mostraron ser menos adherentes que las mujeres (RP: 0,21; p= 0,002). Los factores asociados positivamente con la adherencia no farmacológica fueron: estar estudiando, desempleado o pensionado (RP: 4,42; p= 0,019), recibir apoyo del equipo de salud (RP: 3,17; p=0,032), tener diagnóstico de diabetes (RP: 7,79; p= 0,000) y la función renal en KDOQI-3 (RP: 5,14; p= 0,008). Conclusión: la adherencia no farmacológica fue muy baja en la población de estudio, en particular en relación con la inactividad física. Los factores asociados positivamente a la adherencia fueron el sexo femenino, tener una ocupación diferente al hogar, diagnostico de diabetes, enfermedad renal en KDOQI-3 y contar con apoyo del equipo de salud.
Design of FLAT-SUGAR: Randomized Trial of Prandial Insulin Versus Prandial GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Together With Basal Insulin and Metformin for High-Risk Type 2 Diabetes
Authors:   The FLAT-SUGAR Trial Investigators
Published: June 2015

OBJECTIVE
Glycemic variability may contribute to adverse medical outcomes of type 2 diabetes, but prior therapies have had limited success in controlling glycemic fluctuations, and the hypothesis has not been adequately tested.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
People with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk were enrolled during a run-in period on basal-bolus insulin (BBI), and 102 were randomized to continued BBI or to basal insulin with a prandial GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLIPULIN) group, each seeking to maintain HbA1c levels between 6.7% and 7.3% (50–56 mmol/mol) for 6 months. The primary outcome measure was glycemic variability assessed by continuous glucose monitoring; other measures were HbA1c, weight, circulating markers of inflammation and cardiovascular risk, albuminuria, and electrocardiographic patterns assessed by Holter monitoring.

RESULTS
At randomization, the mean age of the population was 62 years, median duration of diabetes 15 years, mean BMI 34 kg/m2, and mean HbA1c 7.9% (63 mmol/mol). Thirty-three percent had a prior cardiovascular event, 18% had microalbuminuria, and 3% had macroalbuminuria. At baseline, the continuous glucose monitoring coefficient of variation for glucose levels was similar in both groups.

CONCLUSIONS
FLAT-SUGAR is a proof-of-concept study testing whether, in a population of individuals with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk, the GLIPULIN regimen can limit glycemic variability more effectively than BBI, reduce levels of cardiovascular risk markers, and favorably alter albuminuria and electrocardiographic patterns. We successfully randomized a population that has sufficient power to answer the primary question, address several secondary ones, and complete the protocol as designed.
High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Is Associated With Incident Type 2 Diabetes Among African Americans: The Jackson Heart Study
Authors: Effoe Valery S. , Correa Adolfo , Chen Haiying , Lacy Mary E. , Bertoni Alain G. 
Published: June 2015

OBJECTIVEPrevious studies on the association between hs-CRP and incident type 2 diabetes among African Americans have been inconclusive. We examined the association between hs-CRP and incident diabetes in a large African American cohort (Jackson Heart Study).RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODShs-CRP was measured in 3,340 participants. Incident diabetes was defined by fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL, physician diagnosis, use of diabetes drugs, or A1C ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol) at follow-up. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for incident diabetes, adjusting for age, sex, education, diabetes family history, alcohol, HDL, triglycerides, hypertension status, hypertension medications, physical activity, BMI, HOMA-insulin resistance (HOMAIR), and waist circumference.RESULTSParticipants (63% women) were aged 53.3 ± 12.5 years. During a median follow-up of 7.5 years, 17.4% developed diabetes (23.1/1,000 person-years, 95% CI 21.3–25.1). After adjustment, the HR (hs-CRP third vs. first tertile) was 1.64 (95% CI 1.26–2.13). In separate models, further adjustment for BMI and waist circumference attenuated this association (HR 1.28 [95% CI 0.97–1.69] and 1.35 [95% CI 1.03–1.78, P &lt; 0.05 for trend], respectively). Upon adding HOMAIR in the models, the association was no longer significant. In adjusted HOMAIR-stratified analysis, the hs-CRP–diabetes association appeared stronger in participants with HOMAIR &lt;3.0 compared with HOMAIR ≥3.0 (P &lt; 0.0001 for interaction). The association was also stronger among nonobese participants, although not significant when adjusted for HOMAIR.CONCLUSIONSLow-grade inflammation, as measured by hs-CRP level, may have an important role in the development of diabetes among African Americans with a lesser degree of insulin resistance.

Authors: Gu Zheng Fei , Xu Cheng Fu , Hu Kai , Cheng Gang , Lin Rui San , Hong Liang Jie 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
The isothermal section of the Nd–Mn–As ternary system at 800 °C has been constructed in this work by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques. This isothermal section consists of 11 single-phase regions, 19 two-phase regions and 9 three-phase regions. The maximum solubility of As in (Mn) is about 2.602 at.% As and that of Mn in Mn3As and NdAs is below 1 at.% Mn. The highest solid solubility of Nd in MnAs is less than 1.25 at.% Nd. The decomposition temperature of NdAs2 → NdAs + As is about 668 °C. The phase Nd3As could be slowly composed by peritectic reaction L + NdAs → Nd3As at higher temperature. The phase Mn3As still exists under this experimental condition. No ternary compound was found to exist in this section at 800 °C.
Paradoxical herniation after decompressive craniectomy provoked by lumbar puncture or ventriculoperitoneal shunting
Authors: Creutzfeldt Claire J. , Vilela Marcelo D. , Longstreth William T. 
Published: June 2015

OBJECT
Two patients who underwent decompressive craniectomy after head trauma deteriorated secondary to paradoxical herniation, one after lumbar puncture and the other after ventriculoperitoneal shunting. They motivated the authors to investigate further provoked paradoxical herniation.

METHODS
The authors reviewed the records of 205 patients who were treated at a single hospital with decompressive craniectomy for head trauma to identify those who had had lumbar puncture performed or a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placed after craniectomy but before cranioplasty. Among the patients who met these criteria, those with provoked paradoxical herniation were identified. The authors also sought to identify similar cases from the literature. Exact binomials were used to calculate 95% CIs.

RESULTS
None of 26 patients who underwent a lumbar puncture within 1 month of craniectomy deteriorated, whereas 2 of 10 who underwent a lumbar puncture 1 month afterward did so (20% [95% CI 2.4%–55.6%]). Similarly, after ventriculoperitoneal shunting, 3 of 10 patients deteriorated (30% [95% CI 6.7%–65.2%]). Timing of the procedure and the appearance of the skin flap were important factors in deterioration after lumbar puncture but not after ventriculoperitoneal shunting. A review of the literature identified 15 additional patients with paradoxical herniation provoked by lumbar puncture and 7 by ventriculoperitoneal shunting.

CONCLUSIONS
Lumbar puncture and ventriculoperitoneal shunting carry substantial risk when performed in a patient after decompressive craniectomy and before cranioplasty. When the condition that prompts decompression (such as brain swelling associated with stroke or trauma) requires time to resolve, risk is associated with lumbar puncture performed ≥ 1 month after decompressive craniectomy.
Does release of antimicrobial agents from impregnated external ventricular drainage catheters affect the diagnosis of ventriculitis?
Authors: Bayston Roger , Ashraf Waheed , Ortori Catherine 
Published: June 2015

OBJECT
Recently concern has arisen over the effect of released antimicrobial agents from antibiotic-impregnated external ventricular drainage (EVD) catheters on the reliability of CSF culture for diagnosis of ventriculitis. The authors designed a laboratory study to investigate this possibility, and to determine whether there was also a risk of loss of bacterial viability when CSF samples were delayed in transport to the laboratory.

METHODS
Three types of commercially available antibiotic-impregnated EVD catheters were perfused with a suspension of bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis) over 21 days. Samples were analyzed for bacterial viability and for concentrations of antibiotics released from the catheters. The authors also investigated the effect on bacterial viability in samples stored at 18°C and 4°C to simulate delay in CSF samples reaching the laboratory for analysis.

RESULTS
Bacterial viability was significantly reduced in all 3 catheter types when sampled on Day 1, but this effect was not observed in later samples. The results were reflected in stored samples, with significant loss of viability in Day 1 samples but with little further loss of viable bacteria in samples obtained after this time point. All samples stored for 18 hours showed significant loss of viable bacteria.

CONCLUSIONS
While there were differences between the catheters, only samples taken on Day 1 showed a significant reduction in the numbers of viable bacteria after passing through the catheters. This reduction coincided with higher concentrations of antimicrobial agents in the first few hours after perfusion began. Similarly, bacterial viability declined significantly after storage of Day 1 samples, but only slightly in samples obtained thereafter. The results indicate that drugs released from these antimicrobial catheters are unlikely to affect the diagnosis of ventriculitis, as sampling for this purpose is not usually conducted in the first 24 hours of EVD.
Oppida ou forteresses gauloises entre la Somme et la frontière belge : propositions de classement et de chronologie
Authors: Leman Delerive Germaine 
Published: June 2015

Het onderzoek van de verschillende plannen van de oppida gelegen tussen de Somme en de Belgische grens laat toe vier centrale versterkingen te onderscheiden (met Munis gallicus en gracht in V) te Etrun (Pas-de-Calais), Avesnelles (Nord), Vermand (Aisne) en Mareuil Caubert (Somme). Deze plaatsen zijn verbonden door een wegennet dat tot in het begin van de Romeinse tijd is blijven bestaan.
De andere oppida, van minder belang, werden gebouwd in een latere période en sommige werden niet voltooid (Liercourt Erondelle en de Tirancourtweg in de Somme).
Les thermes gallo-romains de Famars d'après les fouilles anciennes
Authors: Beaussart Philippe 
Published: June 2015

Les thermes gallo-romains de Famars, dégagés durant la première moitié du XIXème siècle, occupaient approximativement le centre du vicus du Haut-Empire. Définitivement détruits et comblés avant le début du IVème siècle, Us firent place à la partie occidentale d'un Castellum qui devint le siège du préfet des Lètes-Nerviens.
L'alignement caractéristique des salles chaudes sur la façade sud des thermes de Famars indique que ces derniers s'inscrivent dans la série des thermes de plan dissymétrique, plan où les salles de bains sont disposées sur un des longs côtés d'une palestre. L'installation des pièces principales (frigidarium, tepidarium, caldarium) répond ici à un agencement basé sur un circuit traditionnel menant le visiteur des salles froides aux salles chaudes. De plus la qualité de la construction plaide en faveur d'un édifice de bonne tenue dont la réalisation fut conditionnée par celle d'un aqueduc de 15 km. de longueur.

Tijdens de "drôle de guerre" kon een soldaat, J. Sautois, aangeworven door pastoor Biévelet, directeur van de opgravingen van Bavay, talrijke antitank loopgraven langs de wegen en aan de grens van Bavay maken. De ontdekkingen, waarbij een inscriptie, zijn in de oorlogshand Mngen helemaal verdwenen.
J. Sautois is ook verdwenen in de oorlog en zijn notitieboekjes blijven over als enige getuigen van deze waarnemingen. Het heeft er de schihn van dat op die manier talrijke Romeinse graven gelokaliseerd zijn.
Les niveaux antiques et la céramique du chantier du commissariat central d'Arras (Nemetacum), Pas-de-Calais
Authors: Jelski Georges 
Published: June 2015

En 1969 des terrassements ont permis d'étudier à la périphérie de la ville antique, la première coupe complète des niveaux romains d'Arras sur une hauteur de 2 m. et une longueur de 40 m.
Les fouilles de sauvetage n'ont pu dater la stratigraphie que dans ses principaux niveaux. Il a pu être néanmoins établi que l'habitat s'est étendu à ce quartier périphérique au moins dès Tibère, avec déjà semble- t-il des structures orientées suivant le quadrillage urbain. Une rue paraît bien avoir été construite sous Claude. Reconstruite, elle disparaît avant un grand incendie. Il s'agit très probablement de celui des années 160-180 qui a été observé dans les quartiers périphériques proches.
Il est en effet également suivi d'un abandon, et d'une faible réoccupation, au cours du IIIème siècle, mais parmi les ruines, au milieu de terrains remis en culture. Une série d'ensembles clos de céramique qui s'étendent d'Auguste aux Flaviens sera publiée prochainement, ici deux ensembles permettent d'avoir une vue de la céramique ayant eu cours à Arras au Illème siècle.
Contribution à l'étude des céramiques médiévales et modernes hennuyères

Published: June 2015

A number of chance discoveries of medieval potteries made in Southern Hainault during those last years are bringing some important contributions to the study of grey and black ceramics for the making of which five new centres have been located : Bavai, Pont-sur-Sambre, Avesnes-sur-Helpe, Larouillies and Maroilles.
The imported terracottas chiefly come from the Dutch South-Limburg, the Rhine region and the mosan workshops in Andenne.
Dalles funéraires romanes tournaisiennes dans le nord-ouest de la France. A propos de la pierre tombale de Montay
Authors: Ghislain Jean-Claude 
Published: June 2015

La dalle funéraire romane tardive de Montay (Nord) est encastrée dans le pavage, au pied de la façade occidentale de l'église Saint-Pierre et mérite d'être protégée.
Elle est représentative de l'artisanat tournaisien d'exportation durant le premier tiers du XIIIème siècle, moins riche que certains monuments du XIIème siècle conservés en Angleterre et dans la France septentrionale.
Le décor méplat occupant la surface trapézoïdale est stylisé et composite. Il constitue une version aujourd'hui unique, d'une composition symétrique comportant un perron à degrés sur lequel se dresse un tronc garni de demi-cercles et surmonté de feuilles.
Les comparaisons précises avec des exemplaires de cette époque répartis en Belgique occidentale et dans le nord-ouest de la France, montrent qu'il s'agirait d'une interprétation géométrique du thème de l'Arbre de Vie, le plus fréquent dans cette production.
Notes sur une étape dans la genèse d'un espace industriel : la construction des "forts" roubaisiens dans la première moitié du XIXème siècle
Authors: Le Blan Martine 
Published: June 2015

Until the third quarter of the XVIIIth century, the Flemish population knew a relatively high prosperity. Intensive farming and the spreading of linen industry were at the root of this favourable evolution. Linen industry represented then 20 to 25% of the physical product. It is then absurd to establish an exclusive link between rural industry and an impoverishing process.
The purchase power received a severe blow around the end of the XVIIIth century and the beginning of the XIXth. Through reduced wages and longer working days one attempted to resist foreign competition and technical improvements. As the economic growth slackened at the end of the "Ancien Régime", the demographic behaviour was altered and the population growth slowed down because of a more restricted marriage rate.
