Wolves in the Early Nineteenth-Century County of Jönköping, Sweden
Authors: Kardell Örjan , Dahlström Anna 
Published: June 2013

Abstract

In Sweden there has been a vigorous debate concerning management of the wolf (
Canis lupus
) ever since 1983, when the species was naturally re-established in the country by long-distance dispersal. The contradictory interests are due to a commitment by Naturvårdsverket, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, to protect the wolf, while at the same time wolves arouse fear and hatred among many members of the public because they attack hunting dogs and kill game and livestock. The wolf is expected to increase in numbers and spread over most of Sweden. We argue that modern wolf management would benefit from a historical perspective and our study draws on data from a time when wolves, livestock and people depending on their herds were far more numerous than today. We also discuss aspects of available wolf food supply and territorial size in the early nineteenth century county of Jönköping, Sweden. This is possible by combining hitherto undetected source material on wolves, with a high geographical resolution, with the insights of modern wildlife research. Our main conclusions are that historic wolf territories were in all probability larger than current territories. This was due to a scarcity of large prey, especially during the winter months when livestock were stabled. Past herding practices seem, to a very large extent, to have kept predation on livestock at nearly negligible levels compared to total livestock numbers. This is a significant finding that should be of interest to those concerned with present day wolf management. We also discuss the potential for the future re-establishment of wolves in the studied area.

The Commandery ofthe Hospitalier Order at Acre, by Eliezer Stern
The Hospitalier Commandery of Saint John at Acre was one of the major monuments of the ancient medieval city. Until recently, however, only one of the two vaulted halls was known, because the rest of the buildings were buried or hidden by Ottoman constructions. Excavations undertaken in the last half century have totally renewed our knowledge of the complex, which included halls, kitchens, latrines, dormitories, and lodgings for pilgrims. This archaeological synthesis is the first French-language presentation of the complex.
Le portail d'Acre transporté au Caire : sources et diffusion des modèles rayonnants en Terre sainte au milieu du XIIIe siècle

Das Portal aus Akkon, das nach Kairo transportiert wurde : Quellen und Verbreitung rayonnantgotischer Vorbilder im Heiligen Land in der Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts, von Philippe Plagnieux
Seit dem Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts schmückt ein sehr schönes rayonnantgotisches Portal aus Marmor den Haupteingang des Grabmals und der Madrasa, die in Kairo von dem mameluckischen Sultan al-N ?s,ir Muhammad errichtet wurden (1403/1404 vollendet). Zwei am Denkmal angebrachte Inschriften und vor allem zwei Passagen des Historikers und Chronisten al-Maqr ?z ? (Kairo 1364-1442) erlauben es, die Missgeschicke dieses architektonischen Kleinods zu verfolgen. Auf Befehl des Siegers von Akkon von 1291 ließ ein Emir die den Lateinern abgenommene Stadt abreißen, aber er verschonte das Portal einer der Kirchen, das er für seinen Wohnsitz in Kairo mitnahm. Das Portal wurde sehr bald zur Trophae fur den Endsieg über die Lateiner und ein Symbol dynastischer Legitimation, so dass es in der Folge zwischen den verschiedenen Machtprätendenten mehrfach den Besitzer wechselte.
Die formale Analyse des Portais zeigt, dass es sich an den Pariser Denkmalern, die im Jahrzehnt um 1240-1250 begonnen wurden, orientiert (Sainte- Chapelle, Nordquerhaus von Notre-Dame in Paris...). Alles spricht also dafür, das Portal von Akkon mit dem Aufenthalt Ludwigs des Heiligen im Orient zwischen 1248 und 1254 in Verbindung zu bringen. Zur Stützung dieser Beobachtung muss man mindestens zwei andere Ensembles berücksichtigen, die demjenigen von Akkon sehr nahe stehen und sich ebenfalls an den jüngsten Pariser Bauten orientieren, und die im Kielwasser Ludwigs des Heiligen ausgeführt wurden : Das ehemalige Nordportal der Kathedrale von Nikosia in Zypern und die Vorhalle der großen Halle des «Crac des Chevaliers».
Interpersonal violence amongst primary health care patients in Lesotho: A qualitative study of the reasons for assault
Authors: Ngobale Kabilabe N.W. , Ogunbanjo Gboyega A. , Omole Olufemi B. 
Published: June 2013

Background: Interpersonal violence is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. The incidence of and weapons used in interpersonal violence vary amongst countries and may even vary within regions of a country. Substance abuse, including alcohol, has been linked to interpersonal violence, but other socio-economic factors, cultural and traditional practices may also influence the perpetration of violence.Methods: In 2002, a qualitative study was conducted to explore the experiences of physically assaulted victims of interpersonal violence at a local clinic in Leribe district of the Kingdom of Lesotho.Results: Aggravating factors for interpersonal violence included jealousy, unemployment, availability of weapons, substance abuse and poor levels of education. Interpersonal violence was ameliorated by family interventions, reporting to the authorities, seeking protection fromassailants and religious assistance. Most interpersonal violence occurred during the night and on weekends. The head and neck regions are the most common anatomical sites of injury.Conclusion: Emotional and socio-cultural factors aggravate interpersonal violence in Lesotho, whilst family and religious interventions ameliorate it. Legislation addressing the protection of victims needs to be enacted, and community agencies dealing with interpersonal violence should be established. Studies which assess the requirements and the feasibility of intervention programs are also needed in the kingdom of Lesotho.

ABSTRACT

Background
There are a great amount of materials and techniques to use during dental prosthesis production that may confuse the dentist at the time of choice. Material's choice should be done considering ideal chemicophysical and biological properties and high detail reproduction.

Aims
The present study aimed to test the influence of differents impression materials and storage times on the dimensional accuracy of casting models.

Materials and methods
Four elastomeric materials– polysulfide, polyether, condensation silicone and addition silicone–were used to reproduce a master model of human teeth which were prepared for metaloceramic fixed prosthodontics. Six reference points were established on each tooth in order to determine four intervals: MD–mesial-distal, BL–buccal-lingual and CO–cervical-occlusal distance from premolar, and INT– interpillar distance–from the distal surface of the premolar to the mesial surface of the molar. The impressions were stored for half, 2 and 12 hours and pondered with a type IV gypsum.

Results
Cast measurements data were subjected to ANOVA (4 × 3), Tukey's – α = 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests – α = 0.05. The interaction between materials and storage time presented statistically significant for VP and CO intervals. For each storage time, materials presented dimensional alteration statistically significant.

Conclusion
Impression materials accuracy was affected by the storage time. All materials presented different dimensional accuracy when evaluated in a same period of time. Polysulfide was the only material that presented stable behavior over the time.

Diabetes Mellitus and the Risk for Developing Cancer
Authors: Markey Shane Malachy , Congiusta Marie A 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACT
Diabetes mellitus is a serious and growing health care problem, globally.
The ‘westernization’ of diets around the world has led to an increase in obesity. Other contributing factors such as smoking, lack of physical activity and aging has led to epidemiological concerns regarding the link between diabetes and cancer. Research evidence suggests that patients with diabetes may be at greater risk for the development of some forms of cancer. The patient being discussed in this case report presented to New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD), with a history that included type 2 diabetes mellitus, seeking comprehensive dental care. During the interim between his initial exam and following appointment, a lesion had developed on the palate, which was subsequently diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. This prompted the review of current literature, regarding the link between diabetes and the development of various cancers.

Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome
Authors: Congiusta Marie A , Koo Donghyun , Penugonda Bapanaiah , Goren Arthur D , Kamer Angela R 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACT
Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a genetically inherited disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and severe early onset periodontitis. Oral symptoms begin to appear when primary teeth are in the process of erupting. A defect in the cathepsin C gene causes a dysfunction of the immune response occurring 1 to 3 times in 1 million births. Varying degrees of severity have been reported, ranging from complete edentulism at a young age to complete retention of teeth with a good prognosis.
Early intervention and proper treatment has been shown to improve prognosis. The pathogenesis of PLS is not clearly defined and has been associated with microbiologic, immunologic and genetic factors. Treatment includes conventional periodontal therapies, strict recall and maintenance, as well as antibiotics, metronidazole and chlorhexidine prescriptions as needed. Concurrently, patients are typically under the care of a dermatologist and taking retinoid medications to control their skin condition. This case report discusses the ongoing care of a patient who first presented to NYU College of Dentistry in the pediatric clinic at age 4. It is suggested that periodontal treatment initiated early in life may significantly change the prognosis for the better.

Authors: D’Amico Mariana 
Published: June 2013

Abstract
This article describes a review of articles on productive aging published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy (AJOT) during 2012 in light of the Centennial Vision charge of supporting practice through evidence. Seventeen AJOT articles published in 2012 specifically addressed productive aging. Of 6 Level I studies, 4 were systematic reviews that identified effective occupational therapy interventions for community-dwelling older adults; 1 randomized controlled trial examined the effectiveness of writing life reviews for residents of senior residences, and 1 meta-analysis investigated the effectiveness of fall-related efficacy and engagement in activity or occupation. Two Level II studies and 2 Level III studies produced support for the effectiveness of individual and group-based occupational therapy interventions. Of 7 descriptive studies addressing a variety of areas, 4 addressed the reliability and validity of assessments. In 2012, AJOT published more and higher quality studies addressing a variety of issues related to productive aging.
In situ growth of multilayered crystals in amorphous matrix: Thermal, dynamic mechanical, and morphological analysis of nylon‐6/epoxy composites
Authors: Vyas Aniket , Iroh Jude O. 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTA new procedure for processing of epoxy/polyamide blend was explored via solution polymerization of ε‐caprolactam in N‐methylpyrollidone (NMP), which resulted in a suspension of nylon‐6 in solvent at room temperature. The suspension was blended with water based epoxy resin using mechanical stirring at room temperature. Several films were prepared from blend by varying the amount of nylon‐6 without curing agent. All films were fully characterized for thermal and dynamic mechanical properties using differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis. The addition of nylon‐6 had a plasticizing effect on epoxy evident by decrease in glass transition temperature (Tg). The reaction between nylon‐6 and epoxy was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy by following the characteristic epoxy peak (914 cm−1). The growth of nylon‐6 crystals in epoxy matrix lead to spherulitic multiphase morphology, which was observed under scanning electron microscope. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTA novel phosphorous‐nitrogen containing intumescent flame retardant, toluidine spirocyclic pentaerythritol bisphosphonate (TSPB), was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Flame retardant rigid polyurethane foams (TSPB‐RPUF) were prepared by using TSPB. The flame retardancy of TSPB on rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) was investigated by the limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR. The results showed TSPB exhibited better compatibility with RPUF and lesser negative influence on the mechanical properties of TSPB‐RPUF. When the content of TSPB was 30 pph, the LOI of TSPB‐RPUF could reach 26.5%, and a UL‐94 V‐0 rating was achieved. Furthermore, the TSPB‐RPUF exhibited an outstanding water resistance that it could still obtain a V‐0 rating after water soaking. TGA showed the charring ability of RPUF was relatively poor, However, the residual weight of TSPB‐RPUF was improved greatly. SEM and FTIR indicated the intumescent chars formed from TSPB‐RPUF were compact and smooth, which was a critical factor for protecting the substrate material from burning. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Production of 3‐hydroxypropionic acid from glycerol by recombinant Pseudomonas denitrificans
Authors: Zhou Shengfang , Catherine Christy , Rathnasingh Chelladurai , Somasundar Ashok , Park Sunghoon 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACT3‐Hydroxypropionic acid (3‐HP) can be produced from glycerol through two sequential enzymatic reactions that are catalyzed by a coenzyme B12‐dependent glycerol dehydratase and an NAD(P)+‐dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), respectively. Pseudomonas denitrificans synthesizes coenzyme B12 under aerobic conditions, where NAD(P)+ is regenerated efficiently. Hence, it is considered an ideal host for the production of 3‐HP from glycerol under aerobic conditions. In this study, recombinant strains of P. denitrificans were developed and their potential for the production of 3‐HP from glycerol was evaluated. When the enzymes, glycerol dehydratase (DhaB) and glycerol dehydratase reactivase (GdrAB), of Klebsiella pneumoniae were expressed heterologously, P. denitrificans could produce 3‐HP at 37.7 mmol/L with 62% (mol/mol) yield on glycerol. Glucose was required as the carbon and energy sources for cell growth. The overexpression of heterologous ALDH was not essential; however, the titer and yield of 3‐HP were improved to 54.7 mmol/L and 67% (mol/mol), respectively, when an ALDH gene (puuC) from K. pneumoniae was overexpressed. One serious drawback hindering the use of P. denitrificans as a recombinant host for 3‐HP production is that it oxidizes 3‐HP to malonate and utilizes 3‐HP as a carbon source for growth. This is the first report on the development and use of recombinant P. denitrificans for 3‐HP production from glycerol. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2013;110: 3177–3187. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Ontogeny of the capacity to compare discrete quantities in fish
Authors: Miletto Petrazzini Maria Elena , Agrillo Christian , Piffer Laura , Bisazza Angelo 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTNumerical abilities of adult fish equal or even exceed those of many birds and mammals. The ability to estimate shoal size was previously found to be inborn in guppies, although it improves with age and experience. To study the influence of stimulus variables, here 4‐ to 9‐day‐old fish were trained to discriminate between groups of two‐dimensional geometric figures when they could use both numbers and cues that co‐varied with numerosity (e.g., area) or numerical information only. Subjects rapidly learned to discriminate between quantities under the first condition, but failed to discriminate in the number only condition even with very easy discriminations (1 vs. 4 items). Newborns also failed when stimuli differed in area but not in number, suggesting that, unlike adult fish, newborns can solve this quantity task only if they can use multiple cues. Comparison with shoal discrimination experiments indicates that newborns' capacity to use number is specific to social context. Differences in developmental trajectories suggest the presence in fish of multiple quantification mechanisms which are domain‐specific and serve to solve a limited set of problems. © 2013Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Contribution of transpiration to the atmospheric moisture in eastern Siberia estimated with isotopic composition of water vapour
Authors: Ueta Akihiro , Sugimoto Atsuko , Iijima Yoshihiro , Yabuki Hironori , Maximov Trofim C. 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTIsotopic composition of atmospheric water vapour (δ18OV) was observed at a larch forest near Yakutsk in eastern Siberia during the late summer periods of 2006, 2007 and 2008. The δ18OV [and deuterium excess (d‐excess)] values observed in 2006 and 2008 positively (and negatively) correlated with mixing ratio of atmospheric water vapour, whereas, in 2007 when soil was extremely wet and resulted in limitation of plant transpiration, neither correlation was found between mixing ratio and δ18OV nor d‐excess. Observed results were also compared with components of atmospheric water balance calculated for a 500 × 500 km region; however, neither specific relationship between δ18OV and horizontal advection (direction) nor evapotranspiration was observed. On the other hand, obviously low δ18OV and high d‐excess values were found with low mixing ratio after removal of water vapour from the atmosphere because of the process of rainout in 2006 and 2008. Assuming the δ18OV under this condition to be a background, and also assuming the δ18O of sap water in larch trees as transpired water vapour, contribution of transpiration to the atmospheric water vapour was calculated. Fraction of transpired water vapour to the atmospheric water vapour was nearly 0·8 in maximum when plant transpiration was active under warm condition. Our isotope data confirm the importance of recycling of water through transpiration of forest plants in taiga to the hydrologic cycle in eastern Siberia. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Changes in adherence and treatment costs following initiation of oral or depot typical antipsychotics among previously non‐adherent patients with schizophrenia
Authors: Hong Jihyung , Novick Diego , Brugnoli Roberto , Bertsch Jordan , Haro Josep Maria 
Published: June 2013

ObjectiveThis study assessed the impact of depot formulations on adherence and treating costs in the naturalistic treatment of previously non‐adherent outpatients with schizophrenia.MethodsData were taken from the European Schizophrenia Outpatient Health Outcomes (SOHO) study. Medication adherence and treating costs during an 18‐month follow‐up were assessed and compared for non‐adherent patients initiated on depot typical (n = 262) or oral typical antipsychotics (n = 169) as monotherapy at the index visit. Multivariate analyses were employed to adjust for differences between the two groups at the index visit.ResultsOf the previously non‐adherent patients, more than half of patients initiated on depot typicals (55%) remained adherent to medication during follow‐up, whereas the equivalent was 39% for patients initiated on oral typicals. Logistic regression also showed higher odds of being adherent among the former group (Odds ratio = 1.84; 95% CI = 1.19–2.85). In addition, total costs incurred by this group during 18 months were only half those incurred by patients initiated on oral typicals (£3645 vs £7817, p < 0.05)ConclusionsDepot formulations of typical antipsychotics appeared to improve medication adherence and reduce treatment costs, compared with oral formulations, in the treatment of non‐adherent patients. Limitation: adherence was assessed by the treating psychiatrist using a single‐item. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
