The e ¤ ect of location on nding a job in the Paris region

An important but empirically debated issue in spatial economics is whether spatial differences in unemployment reect residential sorting on invidividual characteristics or a true e¤ect of location. We investigate this issue in the 1,300 French muncipalities that constitute the Paris region and across which there is overwhelming evidence of spatial disparities in unemployment durations. We resort to a methodology that enables us to disentangle individual and unspeci ed local e¤ects. In order to control for individual determinants, we estimate a proportional hazard model strati ed by municipality using an exhaustive dataset of all unemployment spells starting in the rst semester of 1996. This model allows us to recover a survival function for each municipality that is purged of individual observed heterogeneity. We show that only around 30% of the spatial disparities in the propensity to nd a job are explained by individual characteristics. Nearly 70% of the remaining disparities are captured by local indicators which we show to be mainly correlated with local measures of residential segregation. We are also able to show that local and individual characteristics reinforce one another in their contribution to spatial disparities in unemployment duration.

Evaluation of the ecological niche of some abundant species of the subfamily Platyninae ( Coleoptera , Carabidae ) against the background of eight ecological factors

Brygadyrenko, V. V. , 2015. Evaluation of the ecological niche of some abundant species of the subfamily Platyninae (Coleoptera, Carabidae) against the background of eight ecological factors. Folia Oecologica, 42: 75–88. Based on the results of 15 years of research in five regions in the steppe zone of Ukraine we have analysed the relationship between species of the subfamily Platyninae and the eight most significant ecological factors for litter macrofauna in forest ecosystems. In the forests of Ukraine Calathus ambiguus (Paykull, 1790) is a typical mesophile, with a slight preference for pine forests. C. erratus (C.R. Sahlberg, 1827) is at its most numerous in xeromesophilous moisture conditions with an average abundance of ants. C. fuscipes (Goeze, 1777) favours broadleaved forests with 40–80% tree crown density, a sparse herbaceous layer, and clay soil with high salinity. C. melanocephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) is at its most numerous in forests with a deep litter layer with average soil salinity. Dolichus halensis (Schaller, 1783) is often found in forests with of low crown density and favours areas with high salinity. Anchomenus dorsalis (Pontoppidan, 1763) favours plots with scattered trees, thick grass, mesophilous moisture conditions and low abundance of ants. Limodromus krynickii (Sperk, 1835) inhabits forests with a thin litter layer, hygrophilous moisture conditions and soils with low salinity. Oxypselaphus obscurus (Herbst, 1784) inhabits moist areas of forests with acid, sandy soil. The methods used in this research allow a quantitative multiple level assessment of the ecological niches of different species of litter invertebrate to be made.
Title Role of CX 3 CR 1 Receptor in Monocyte / Macrophage Driven Neovascularization

Monocyte/Macrophages are implicated in initiation of angiogenesis, tissue/organ perfusion and atherosclerosis biology. We recently showed that chemokine receptor CX3CR1 is an essential regulator of monocyte/macrophage derived smooth muscle cell differentiation in the vessel wall after injury. Here we hypothesised the contribution of CX3CR1CX3CL1 interaction to in vivo neovascularization and studied the functional consequences of genetic and pharmacologic targeting of CX3CR1 in formation, maturation and maintenance of microvascular integrity. Cells functionally deficient in CX3CR1 lacked matrix tunnelling and tubulation capacity in a 3D Matrigel assay. These morphogenic and cytokinetic responses were driven by CX3CL1-CX3CR1 interaction and totally abrogated by a Rho antagonist. To evaluate the role of CX3CR1 system in vivo, Matrigel plugs were implanted in competent CX3CR1 +/gfp and functionally deficient CX3CR1 gfp/gfp mice. Leaky microvessels (MV) were formed in the Matrigel implanted in CX3CR1 gfp/gfp but not in CX3CR1 +/gfp mice. In experimental plaque neovascularization immature MV phenotype was observed in CX3CR1 gfp/gfp mice, lacking CX3CR1 positive smooth muscle-like cells, extracellular collagen and basement membrane (BM) laminin compared to competent CX3CR1 +/gfp mice. This was associated with increased extravasation of platelets into the intima of CX3CR1 gfp/gfp but not functionally competent CX3CR1 mice. Pharmacologic targeting using CX3CR1 receptor antagonist in wild type mice resulted in formation of plaque MV with poor BM coverage and a leaky phenotype. Our data indicate a hitherto unrecognised role for functional CX3CR1 in Matrigel and experimental plaque neovascularization in vivo, which may buttress MV collectively in favour of a more stable non-leaky phenotype.

Meditation Care Program for Anxiety and Breathing Control in Persons

Suffering from weaning failure leads to mind-body disharmony; however, reducing anxiety and self-reliance on breathing control may inspire patients’ capability to wean from mechanical ventilation. This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of the Integrated Concentration Meditation Care Program on anxiety level and breathing control among 54 participants suffering with difficult weaning from mechanical ventilator. Participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental (n=23) or the control group (n= 31). The experimental group received nine steps of a nurse-initiated strategy called “GREATWEAN” (Goal setting, Reducing fear and anxiety, Engaging the family to be present with the patient, Active involvement of the patient, Technology safely and appropriately used, Working together, Empowerment, Assessing, and Nurturing) in addition to usual care, while the control group received only usual care. Data collection instruments were: a) Demographic Data Record Form, b) Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety, and c) Breathing Control measured by respiration rate, minute ventilation and oxygen saturation in an Observation Record Form. The findings showed a statistical significance in anxiety reduction in the experimental group as compared to the control group at day 3 and 7 of the program implementation, whereas self-breathing control was not significant difference between the two groups. The meditation care program can be applied to reduce anxiety level in persons with difficult weaning. Pacific Rim Int J Nurs Res 2017; 21(1) 18-31
RATIONING RULES AND BERTRAND-EDGEWORTH OLIGOPOLIES

The Bertrand-Edgeworth duopolistic models may be specified by applying a rationing rule. The present purpose is to discuss a rationing problem within a uniform framework. A system of concepts are introduced for the detailed examination of the rationing rule. We will show that our framework is capable of integrating those well-known market situations in which a certain rationing rule can be implemented. Additionally, we will present a new more general way of implementing the random rationing rule in large but finite markets.

The Effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Interventions on Employee Stress and Well-Being: A Meta-Analytic Study

Organisations have started to acknowledge that employee stress and well-being have a central role in organisational performance and can also impact individuals’ overall health. Poor employee well-being and stress have been linked to psychological, physiological, and behavioural issues such as loss of productivity, work accidents (Fries, 2009), cardiovascular disease, hypertension (Tennant, 2001), and increased staff turnover (Murphy, & Sauter, 2003). Furthermore, distress can decrease lifesatisfaction and have a major influence on our daily lives (Berger, 1994). Employee well-being programmes became popular in the 1970s, such as the programme developed by Jon KabatZinn which is known as the ‘mindfulness-based stress reduction’ intervention. In this meta-analytic study, the effect of MBSR interventions categorised in three groups (tMBSR, mMBSR, and cMBSR) on employee stress and well-being is examined. Statistical data of stress levels was taken from the following measures: GHQ, DASS, MBI, and PSS. Statistical data of wellbeing levels was taken from measures such as the SPWB, the SWLS, the SF36 and the SF12v2, and the PSQI. The meta-analysis on MBSR and its effect on stress reduction resulted in a medium summary effect size (g= -0.489). A smaller summary effect size (g= 0.242) was found when carrying out a meta-analysis only comprising of studies which included a control group. The meta-analysis on the effect of MBSR on enhancing well-being outcomes resulted in a moderate effect size (g= 0.512). The findings in this study are in line with previous research outcomes supporting the claim that MBSR assists in stress reduction and increases wellbeing in employees. There are various limitations to this study such as few controlled studies and a majority of samples working in the health care sector. Future research could focus on cMBSR interventions in the workplace and explore why they may have a larger effect size than traditional MBSR.
Antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of the extracts from Origanum vulgare L . wild growing in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Antifungal, antimicrobial, insecticidal and antioxidant activities of Origanum vulgare L. provide the basis for suggesting that oregano plant extracts may be useful for prevention and treatment of infections. The main goal of this study was to determine antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of methanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaves and flowers of O. vulgare. Antimicrobial testing of plant extracts was done using well diffusion method. Activity of extracts was tested against Gram positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ATCC 33591, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and five Gram-negative bacteria: Salmonella abony ATCC 6017, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis ATCC 31194, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli ATCC 35218 and fungus Candida albicans ATCC 1023. Antibiotic ampicillin and antimycotic nystatin were used as positive control. The antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. The highest values for inhibition zone for methanolic and aqueous extracts were recorded for Gram positive B. subtilis, S. aureus and MRSA. Methanolic extracts exhibited antibacterial activity against tested Gram negative bacteria in variable degree while the growth of these bacteria was not inhibited by aqueous extracts. Tested fungus C. albicans was not sensitive to investigated oregano extracts. All the extracts showed moderate to potent antioxidant activity with methanolic flower extract demonstrating the strongest antioxidative activity with the IC50 value of 0.205 mg/mL. Therefore it can be concluded that flower and leaf oregano extracts have significant antibacterial and antioxidant potential. *Correspondence E-mail: renatabestagajevic@gmail. com
Concentrations of PM2.5, PM2.5-10 and PM-related elements at two heights in an urban background area in Zabrze (Poland)

Concentrations and elemental composition of fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM2.5-10) ambient particles, at two sampling points located at the same urban background sites, were investigated. The points were 20 m distant from each other and at various heights (2 and 6 m) above the ground. A dichotomous sampler, equipped with a virtual impactor, and a cascade impactor were used to sample the dust. An X-ray fluorescence spectrometer was used in the elemental analyses. The investigations revealed heterogeneity of the spatial distribution and the elemental composition of suspended dust at the investigated urban background site. Coarse dust, whose concentration at 2.0 m above the ground was affected by secondary emission from roads, soil and other local low-level sources in some periods, appeared more heterogeneous.
STRATEGY OF PROVIDING EDUCATION TO IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES OF ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY PATIENTS: A LITERATURE REVIEW

The success of orthopedic surgery patients' education depends on many factors, including the accuracy in choosing methods and the educational media used. This selection is based on consideration of the appropriateness of the material provided for the patient's needs and the learning objectives to achieve. The study aimed to describe and provide comparison of the types and methods of education that can be done in orthopedic surgery patients to improve patient outcomes. The references employed in this literature review were eleven experimental research articles published from 2010 to 2018. The keywords appropriateness in the search were "orthopedic patient," "patient education," "patient knowledge," "education method," and "patient outcome "through the ProQuest, EBSCO, Sage, and Clinical Key. This review shows that the media and educational methods vary widely, including face-to-face education, webbased or Internet-based education, education with DVD videos, and structured education. Statistical analysis shows that all of these methods can improve the knowledge and skills of orthopedic surgery patients undergoing the perioperative phase. Using formal educational methods with media combined with web-based or internet education, DVD audio-video education, and direct education (face to face) is considered suitable for education established for orthopedic patients.
BEING GOVERNED THROUGH PLATFORMS: BETWEEN TECHNOLOGICAL DETERMINISM AND ITS CRITICISM

From McLuhanesque hyper-optimistic gaze on the speed-of-information-based determination, to cybernetic theories from both the USA and former USSR, the aftermath of technological determinism has been reached at the present day any way at all, despite all kind of severe but fair criticism. When looking at recent personal data scandals of Facebook and customized and both centralized and decentralized mass surveillance with AI of China through the technological determinism perspective, it can be argued that argumentative strength of the criticism on technological determinism
White Matter Microstructure in Youths With Conduct Disorder : Effects of Sex and Variation in Callous Traits RH = White Matter in Conduct Disorder

Objective: Studies using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to inv estigate white matter (WM) microstructure in youths with conduct disorder (CD) have reported disparate findings. We investigated WM alterations in a large sample of yo uths with CD, and examined the influence of sex and callous-unemotional (CU) traits. Method: DTI-data were acquired from 124 youths with CD (59 female youth) and 174 typically-developing (TD) youths (103 female youth) aged 9-18 years. Tract-based spatial statistics tested for effects of diagnosis and sexby-diagnosis interactions. Associations with CD symptoms, CU traits, a task measuring impulsivit y, and the impact of comorbidity and ageand puberty-related effects were examined. Results: Youths with CD exhibited higher axial-diffusivity in the corpus callosum and lower radial-diffusivity and mean-diffusivity in the ante rior thalamic radiation relative to TD youths. Female and male youth with CD exhibited opp osite changes within the internal capsule, fornix, posterior thalamic radiation and u ncinate fasciculus. Within the CD group, CD symptoms and callous traits exerted opposing inf lue ces on corpus callosum axialdiffusivity, with callous traits identified as the unique clinical feature predicting higher axialdiffusivity and lower radial-diffusivity within the corpus callosum and anterior thalamic radiation, respectively. In an exploratory analysis , corpus callosum axial-diffusivity partially mediated the association between callous traits and impulsive responses to emotional faces. Results were not influenced by symptoms of comorbid disorders and no ageor pubertyrelated interactions were observed. Conclusion: WM alterations within the corpus callosum represen t a reliable neuroimaging marker of CD. Sex and callous traits are important f ctors to consider when examining WM in CD.

The Impact of Technology Characteristics on the Formation of Exploration and Exploitation Alliances-Insights from the Solar Photovoltaic Industry

The literature has identified exploration and exploitation alliances as two ideal-type modes firms use to collaboratively develop and commercialize technologies. Previous studies have investigated the antecedents and performance effects of a firm? s balance between exploration and exploitation in alliance formation. Yet, currently, we lack a sufficient understanding of how a firm? s choice to explore or exploit via alliances might depend on the characteristics of the firm? s technology. Drawing on data from 1079 partnerships in the solar photovoltaic industry, in this paper we test how the complexity, maturity and tacitness of technological knowledge affect a firm? s propensity to form exploration and exploitation alliances. We find that a higher tacitness of technological knowledge raises, whereas a higher technological maturity reduces the likelihood of entering exploration alliances. Moreover, we show that different sub-types of exploitation alliances, such as production and marketing alliances, differ in the degree to which they are related to specific technology characteristics. We conclude that understanding a firm? s choice to explore or exploit through alliances requires an in-depth understanding of the specific technology pursued. In addition, our work provides empirical support for recent studies that have called for a more fine-grained differentiation of alliances according to their position on the exploration-exploitation continuum.

Biosensor Technique Supports Development in Biomaterials Engineering

Various biomaterials are presently employed in the production of a very wide spectrum of medical implants. The choice of biomaterial is of course determined by the medical application for which it is intended and to date no one biomaterial has been found to be fully biocompatible and biotolerant. Furthermore, it is a well known fact that quite often implants must be removed due to tissue reactions and resultant health problems (Khan et al. 2008; Schierholz& Beuth, 2001). The key role in implant tolerance depends on a very short period of time during which the biomaterial surface first comes into contact with body fluids. During this time, water molecules come into contact with the surface of the biomaterial and the results of this reaction determine the further course of events. Water molecule interaction is generally dependent on surface nanostructure and highly dependent on its energy and hydrophobicity. The next stage of interaction, which depends on the presence of water on the biomaterial surface, is the creation of a thin protein film on this surface. A hydrophilic surface will collect a large amount of hydrophilic proteins readily available in body fluids, however these proteins are weakly adsorbed and can be easily removed or replaced by other molecules. A hydrophobic surface will adsorb proteins by their hydrophobic regions often causing changes in protein structure and biological activity. The final stage, cellular attachment, adhesion and proliferation depends on the profile of the adsorbed proteins, their accessibility and a proper spatial structure which enables expression of biologically active sites. Thus, the type of protein present on a biomaterial surface seems to be crucial for biomaterial tolerance in the human body. The most common experimental models developed to characterize protein adsorption on biomaterial surfaces involve the incubation of proteins in contact with a studied surface and the estimation of adsorbed proteins by a variety of methods including electrophoretic, enzymatic or immunoenzymatic approaches together with a number of labeling techniques. The common disadvantages of these techniques is that it is not possible to observe protein adsorption as a kinetic process and protein quantification is strongly limited by the sensitivity of the methods used, which is usually limited to nanograms per square millimeter.
