Interorganizational relations and public regulation: the case of partially mandated occupational rehabilitation networks

xv Research on the implications of law for organization theory in general and interorganizational relations (IOR) in particular is conspicuous by its neglect. The tendency has been to take the legal context as a unidimensional institutional given, ignoring the fact that there are many challenges to legislative efficacy. For this reason alone, theoretical and practical contributions by organizational scholars to important mainstream debates on regulation, deregulation and reregulation have been limited. The purpose of this study is to offer some redress to the situation by focusing on legally mandated IOR. Specifically, it poses and seeks to answer the following question: what are the implications of legally mandating IOR through public policy, with particular reference to occupational rehabilitation in N e w South Wales? Using Cranston's (1987) four phase process model of legislative efficacy, modified to account more fully for the compliance behaviour of the target population, a concept of partially mandated IOR is developed. This concept attempts to explain the differences and the interaction between mandated and voluntary IOR contingencies. Following a case study research design which allows for contextually embedded analysis employing multiple methods, the above model and concept, together with six theoretical propositions, are examined and subsequently validated in their application to legally mandated occupational rehabilitation. The largely historical analysis of mandate emergence draws attention to the need for interorganizational learning and adaptation to a complex, uncertain and variable set of unenforced, self-regulatory circumstances. Content analysis of mandate form shows it to be vague, open-ended and partial in nature and reliant upon the authority of nonmandated organizations (insurers and treating doctors). Network analysis of mandate implementation is based on 81 interviews with 79 informants in 56 organizations which, except for the regulatory agency, are all situated in the Illawarra region of N e w South Wales. Agency-target IOR tended to be consultative, based on xvi broadly unbridled target organization discretion. Compliance behaviour was found to depend on voluntary incentives and the voluntary cooperation of the nonmandated rather than through agency enforcement. Finally, the absence of objective mandate impact measures did not preclude the formation of positive views and experience largely attributed to successful interorganizational activities. These findings draw attention to the need for IOR theory to acknowledge the partial nature of mandates, and for the public regulation literature to embrace I O R in policy formulation as well as implementation. In addition to identifying the potential utility of interorganizational collaboration in the management of I O R at a local, network and policy level, the study also proposes a number of future research directions based on the concept of partial mandates.
Opinion Searching in Multi-Product Reviews

It is becoming common that people browse Web for product reviews before purchasing. However, to retrieve opinions relevant to customer desire still remains challenging. In this paper, we studied the problem of opinion searching, whose aim is to search the opinions about specific feature of specific product and locate them in multi-product reviews. Our solution includes two steps: opinion indexing and opinion retrieving. Opinion indexing is to identify opinion fragments and generate opinion tuples (product,feature and sentiment). Opinion retrieving is to look up the opinion tuples matching users' retrieving interests, and help users to locate the corresponding opinion fragments in documents. Fundamentally, opinion indexing should be able to identify the feature-product dependencies (i.e., a feature mentioned in somewhere of reviewing text is semantically associated with which product). We explore to resolve the problem with machine-learning techniques.
Meta service discovery

Meta service discovery is used to find and select a service discovery mechanism by context. As multiple service discovery mechanisms (SDM) proliferate across various administrative domains, mobile devices will require a way to locate and select the appropriate mechanism according to the context of the mobile device, such as network domain, location, protocol, and application. We define meta service discovery and explain the motivation for it. We describe our results in building a meta service discovery capability on three existing DHTs and integrated into a new broadcast-oriented SDM. Finally, we analyze the sizing and distribution of DHT entries, including hash distribution of SDM entries according to a geographic population-density scheme

I heard you'd be here and we were looking forward to meeting up with you. " They had just finished up a long stay there. As I remember, they were keeping pretty busy while they were there. 2) I realized it a few months ago. The Smiths were having a lot of trouble with their car. They brought groceries, some chairs and tables, and helped with our stuff. The last few weeks, though, they had to spend some of their time other places. They were staying somewhere pretty far away. Somewhere I think that's recently been hit with a ton of snow. 3) They started showing up a few months ago. There was a lot of commotion then. But they've totally stopping showing up now. They got carried away with the whole thing. We figured it wouldn't last. Some of us were happy they left, but a couple people seemed really upset. 4) Well, I saw what was left over from it. It was crazy. They had to move thousands of pounds of rubble and debris before doing anything. I was young but I remember that it sucked. It really doesn't help to have your neighborhood trashed when you just moved. 5) I know the kitchens had to be replaced, too. Cracked walls, sagging roof, everything. They had to do some massive wall-to-wall renovation. They tried to hire every able-bodied person in the area qualified enough to work there, even some people who they ended up firing. Everyone was really friendly, though. It's cool to see it now it's up and running smoothly. It's a rocking place. 6) When they lost the medication, he was pretty upset. Said something about checking priorities and keeping track of things a lot more carefully. They wanted to redo the entire system, so that kind of thing wouldn't happen again. They bought some new computers for inventory tracking. He hasn't had any problems since. They seemed to care and actually wanted to fix problems. Things do seem to be better now. You can imagine, he's totally relieved. 7) I don't know how you pick what you're going to do. You know plans don't always fit with what happens. But, more or less, it's all worked …
Severe short stature and Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome: response to growth hormone in two cases without growth hormone deficiency

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a rare congenital disorder occurring in approximately 1/50 000 births, with marked pre- and postnatal growth failure. WHS results from the hemizygous deletion encompassing the 4p16.3 region. This report of two children with WHS shows that growth hormone treatment in selected children with WHS and severe short stature may have a substantial effect on long-term growth.
Porcine oocyte maturation in vitro: role of cAMP and oocyte-secreted factors – A practical approach

Polyspermy or the penetration of more than one sperm cell remains a problem during porcine in vitro fertilization (IVF). After in vitro culture of porcine zygotes, only a low percentage of blastocysts develop and their quality is inferior to that of in vivo derived blastocysts. It is unknown whether the cytoplasmic maturation of the oocyte is sufficiently sustained in current in vitro maturation (IVM) procedures. The complex interplay between oocyte and cumulus cells during IVM is a key factor in this process. By focusing on this bidirectional communication, it is possible to control the coordination of cumulus expansion, and nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation during IVM to some extent. Therefore, this review focuses on the regulatory mechanisms between oocytes and cumulus cells to further the development of new in vitro embryo production (IVP) procedures, resulting in less polyspermy and improved oocyte developmental potential. Specifically, we focused on the involvement of cAMP in maturation regulation and function of oocyte-secreted factors (OSFs) in the bidirectional regulatory loop between oocyte and cumulus cells. Our studies suggest that maintaining high cAMP levels in the oocyte during the first half of IVM sustained improved oocyte maturation, resulting in an enhanced response after IVF and cumulus matrix disassembly. Recent research indicated that the addition of OSFs during IVM enhanced the developmental competence of small follicle-derived oocytes, which was stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF) via developing EGF-receptor signaling.

Annotating Argument Components and Relations in Persuasive Essays

In this paper, we present a novel approach to model arguments, their components and relations in persuasive essays in English. We propose an annotation scheme that includes the annotation of claims and premises as well as support and attack relations for capturing the structure of argumentative discourse. We further conduct a manual annotation study with three annotators on 90 persuasive essays. The obtained inter-rater agreement of αU =0 . 72 for argument components and α =0 . 81 for argumentative relations indicates that the proposed annotation scheme successfully guides annotators to substantial agreement. The final corpus and the annotation guidelines are freely available to encourage future research in argument recognition.
Requirements fixation

There is a broad consensus that understanding system desiderata (requirements) and design creativity are both important for software engineering success. However, little research has addressed the relationship between design creativity and the way requirements are framed or presented. This paper therefore aims to investigate the possibility that the way desiderata are framed or presented can affect design creativity. Forty two participants took part in a randomized control trial where one group received desiderata framed as “requirements” while the other received desiderata framed as “ideas”. Participants produced design concepts which were judged for originality. Participants who received requirements framing produced significantly less original designs than participants who received ideas framing (Mann-Whitney U=116.5, p=0.004). We conclude that framing desiderata as “requirements” may cause requirements fixation where designers’ preoccupation with satisfying explicit requirements inhibits their creativity.
Model turbulent floods with the Smagorinski large eddy closure

Floods, tides and tsunamis are turbulent, yet conventional models are based upon depth averaging inviscid irrotational flow equations. We propose to change the base of such modelling to the Smagorinksi large eddy closure for turbulence in order to appropriately match the underlying fluid dynamics. Our approach allows for large changes in fluid depth to cater for extreme inundations. The key to the analysis underlying the approach is to choose surface and bed boundary conditions that accommodate a constant turbulent shear as a nearly neutral mode. Analysis supported by slow manifold theory then constructs a model for the coupled dynamics of the fluid depth and the mean turbulent lateral velocity. The model resolves the internal turbulent shear in the flow and thus may be used in further work to rationally predict erosion and transport in turbulent floods.
Histopathology of early effects of oral cadmium in the rat kidney.

Adult male Wistar rats were given 50 ppm Cd in drinking water over a period of 1-24 weeks. The rats were killed and the cadmium concentration of whole blood, blood plasma red cells, liver and kidneys estimated. The plasma metallothionein concentration was measured by radioimmunoassay. Kidney samples were taken for light, transmission and scanning electron microscopic examination. The accumulation of cadmium in the tissues was shown by a linear increase with time, after exposure for 12 weeks. Plasma Cd concentrations showed a clear increase after 3 weeks and preliminary investigation suggests that most is present as Cd-thionein. Early pathological changes in the rat kidney were seen around the 4-6 week period which coincided with the distinct rise in plasma Cd. At 12 weeks, signs of tubular necrosis, interstitial fibrosis and glomerular epithelial cell hypertrophy were present in small areas of the cortex. By 24 weeks, the renal cortex showed clear evidence of tubulo-interstitial nephritis at a Cd concentration of 60 micrograms Cd/g wet weight.

A Biologically Founded Design and Control of a Humanoid Biped

During the last decade many advancements in the fields of industrial and service robotics have produced robots that are well integrated inside the industry; they can operate faster and with higher precision in comparison to human beings. Nevertheless if we take a look at the kinematic structure of these systems, it is clear that the actual machines are limited in the mobility and in the number of tasks that they can perform. This is more evident if we intend to apply those robots in an unstructured environment like home. First at all the robot should be able to move around avoiding obstacles, climbing stairs, opening doors. These movements should also be performed with a certain level of compliance for the safety of the human beings that are in the environment. Secondly, the robots should be able to use tools and other machines designed for human use, and based of the human manipulation and kinematic abilities. A possible solution for mobility, that is well applied in mobile robotics, is the choice of a wheeled traction system. This usually is a simple manner to move on flat floors, and is efficient from the energetic point of view (during the movement the center of mass acts on a straight line). However it presents important limitations, for example it is not possible for such a robot to overcome obstacles bigger than the wheels dimensions. Those limitations can be overcome if the robot is equipped with legs, that normally act by increasing the robot's DOF(Degrees of Freedom). Many studies were conducted on legged robot in order to improve the efficiency and stability during walking. A pioneering contribution was done (Takanishi et al, 2004) at the laboratories of Waseda University (Tokyo). Several other modern robots are designed to walk and behave like humans (Hashimoto et al, 2002)( 3) but until now the efficiency of the human gait is still far from being reached. In this sense, the work of McGeer (McGeer, 1990) can be considered exemplar. His passive dynamic walker made a stable gait without close position control, considering the walking motion as a natural oscillation of a double pendulum; and this is actually how humans seem to walk (Gottlieb et al, 1996) (Kiriazov, 1991). His results inspired many other works, such as the stability analysis (Garcia et al, 1998) and the physical implementation ( Wisse et al, 2001) (Kuo, 1999)(Collins et al, 2001) of several prototypes.
Entrepreneurial Skill Acquisition, Psycho-Social Factors and Youth's Self-Employment in Malaysia

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial skill acquisition, self-motivation, social influence and self-employment practice among Malaysian university graduates. Arguably, the technological advancement in any country could be made possible through innovative sciences, ideas and utilizing uncommon opportunities; and entrepreneurship is the best way to achieve this. Studies have shown that skill acquisition is the most critical factor in utilizing entrepreneurship opportunity for self-employment. However, researches have reported that most of entrepreneurship graduates from Malaysian universities do not go into entrepreneurship practice five years after graduation. To examine whether self-motivation and social influence could be possible reasons, the study adopted a survey method and a proportionate stratified random sampling method to collect data from 600 entrepreneurship graduates. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation method. One of the findings indicated that self-motivation had higher influence on self-employment than social influence; though both had significant positive relationships. It was also found that most Malaysian youth graduates had low risk-taking propensity. The study recommended that parents, government, universities and youth organizations should place more emphasize on ability to create value to the society, as learning outcome, rather than on grades (As). This would produce creative and analytical thinking and problem-solving skills among the students, leading to enterprise creation after graduation.
Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis: a spectrum of histopathological and imaging phenotypes

Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare condition characterised by predominantly upper lobe pleural and subjacent parenchymal fibrosis, the latter being intra-alveolar with accompanying elastosis of the alveolar walls. The aim of this study was to review cases fulfilling published imaging and histological criteria, and identify any common clinical features that may suggest an underlying aetiology for a condition that has previously been regarded as idiopathic. Of 12 patients (seven females, median age 57 yrs), the presenting symptoms were shortness of breath (11 out of 12 patients) and dry cough (six out of 12 patients). Seven patients reported recurrent infections during the course of their disease. Five demonstrated nonspecific autoantibody positivity. Two patients had a family history of interstitial lung disease (ILD). High-resolution computed tomography features of lung disease remote from the pleuroparenchymal changes were present in six out of 12 patients (coexistent fibrosis, n=5; bronchiectasis, n=1). Of seven patients with tissue sampled from the lower lobes, four patients showed less intense PPFE changes (one with additional features of hypersensitivity pneumonitis) and three showed usual interstitial pneumonia. PPFE is a distinct clinicopathological entity, with clinical data suggesting a link to recurrent pulmonary infection. Genetic and autoimmune mechanisms may also contribute to the development of these changes. PPFE may also present with more diffuse involvement than previously reported, and coexist with different patterns of ILD.
The British constitution resettled? Parliamentary sovereignty after the EU Referendum

The evidence from parliamentary and legal processes flowing from the European Union referendum in June 2016 and the vote to leave – including invoking Article 50 and subsequent Withdrawal Bill votes, nuancing of party positions in Parliament, adopting parliamentary scrutiny through ongoing party competition and subsequent legislation – suggests a strong resettling of Parliament’s sovereignty based on a potentially new, enhanced constitutional settlement. Two significant precedented, historical constitutional forms, strongly dependent upon Burke’s and Dicey’s view of government by consent, prove central to the further resettling of parliamentary sovereignty following the European Union referendum. This approach contrasts with theories asserting that sovereignty is being challenged by unwieldy executive authority, popular sovereignty, or democratic nostalgia. When the United Kingdom’s present day, post-1973 constitutional form is in conflict with a new feature, as in the case of the European Union referendum, a contemporary resettling of parliamentary sovereignty occurs.
Thermal Imagery-Derived Surface Inundation Modeling to Assess Flood Risk in a Flood-Pulsed Savannah Watershed in Botswana and Namibia

The Chobe River Basin (CRB), a sub-basin of the Upper Zambezi Basin shared by Namibia and Botswana, is a complex hydrologic system that lies at the center of the world’s largest transfrontier conservation area. Despite its regional importance for livelihoods and biodiversity, its hydrology, controlled by the timing and relative contributions of water from two regional rivers, remains poorly understood. An increase in the magnitude of flooding in this region since 2009 has resulted in significant displacements of rural communities. We use an innovative approach that employs time-series of thermal imagery and station discharge data to model seasonal flooding patterns, identify the driving forces that control the magnitude of flooding and the high population density areas that are most at risk of high magnitude floods throughout the watershed. Spatio-temporal changes in surface inundation determined using NASA Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) thermal imagery (2000–2015) revealed that flooding extent in the CRB is extremely variable, ranging from 401 km2 to 5779 km2 over the last 15 years. A multiple regression model of lagged discharge of surface contributor basins and flooding extent in the CRB indicated that the best predictor of flooding in this region is the discharge of the Zambezi River 64 days prior to flooding. The seasonal floods have increased drastically in magnitude since 2008 causing large populations to be displaced. Over 46,000 people (53% of Zambezi Region population) are living in high magnitude flood risk areas, making the need for resettlement planning and mitigation strategies increasingly important.
