The Fragmented State and Due Process Protections in Organizations: The Case of Comparable Worth

This analysis starts with models of the diffusion of due process protections in organizations that emphasize the role of the state, especially those from the institutional perspective. The case of equal pay for work of comparable value is used to develop propositions concerning important additions to current models of the expansion of due process protections in the workplace. First, we suggest that models of the nation-state should include an explicit recognition that the progressiveness of public policy varies over time. Second, we suggest that models of the nation-state should include explicit recognition of the fact that state authority is fragmented by the separation of powers and the partition of federal and local authority. Implications for future theory and empirical study that follow from these additions to current models are discussed.

90Yttrium-ibritumomab tiuxetan consolidation of first remission in advanced-stage follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma: updated results after a median follow-up of 7.3 years from the International, Randomized, Phase III First-LineIndolent trial.

PURPOSE Updated results are presented after a median follow-up of 7.3 years from the phase III First-Line Indolent Trial of yttrium-90 ((90)Y) -ibritumomab tiuxetan in advanced-stage follicular lymphoma (FL) in first remission. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with CD20(+) stage III or IV FL with complete response (CR), unconfirmed CR (CRu), or partial response (PR) after first-line induction treatment were randomly assigned to (90)Y-ibritumomab consolidation therapy (rituximab 250 mg/m(2) days -7 and 0, then (90)Y-ibritumomab 14.8 MBq/kg day 0; maximum 1,184 MBq) or no further treatment (control). Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) from date of random assignment. RESULTS For 409 patients available for analysis ((90)Y-ibritumomab, n = 207; control, n = 202), estimated 8-year overall PFS was 41% with (90)Y-ibritumomab versus 22% for control (hazard ratio [HR], 0.47; P < .001). For patients in CR/CRu after induction, 8-year PFS with (90)Y-ibritumomab was 48% versus 32% for control (HR, 0.61; P = .008), and for PR patients, it was 33% versus 10% (HR, 0.38; P < .001). For (90)Y-ibritumomab consolidation, median PFS was 4.1 years (v 1.1 years for control; P < .001). Median time to next treatment (TTNT) was 8.1 years for (90)Y-ibritumomab versus 3.0 years for control (P < .001) with approximately 80% response rates to second-line therapy in either arm, including autologous stem-cell transplantation. No unexpected toxicities emerged during long-term follow-up. Estimated between-group 8-year overall survival rates were similar. Annualized incidence rate of myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloblastic leukemia was 0.50% versus 0.07% in (90)Y-ibritumomab and control groups, respectively (P = .042). CONCLUSION (90)Y-ibritumomab consolidation after achieving PR or CR/CRu to induction confers 3-year benefit in median PFS with durable 19% PFS advantage at 8 years and improves TTNT by 5.1 years for patients with advanced FL.
Exploring the Relationships between Product Development and Environmental Turbulence: The Case of Mobile TLC Services

Managing innovation in turbulent environments (e.g., in environments with extreme uncertainty and complexity in market needs and technological opportunities) is a major challenge. A recent stream of studies in the management literature has suggested that when facing turbulent environments, firms should deploy more flexible development processes. This paper approaches this issue by looking at the Italian mobile telecommunications (TLC) industry. Nine in-depth case studies were conducted in five different companies. Data analysis showed some important results. First of all environmental turbulence should be considered to be project specific rather than company or industry specific. Moreover, it can come from both shift in the market needs and in the technology. Nevertheless, it seems clear that having rapid changes is not enough to have environmental turbulence. If rapid changes can be somehow foreseen, there is no turbulence at all. Hence, when approaching projects in potentially turbulent environments, managers should assess both rapidity and unpredictability of the environment. Finally, looking at the in-depth cases, the paper points out what of the main practices to increase flexibility that are described in literature are actually adopted by companies. In case of turbulence (both in the market and/or in the technology) companies delay concept freezing point. Moreover, in the case of technological turbulence, they also leverage on rapid project iterations, whereas in case of market turbulence they more likely adopt early experiments involving customers, formal and cross-functional project teams, and flat organizational structures.
A general multiview framework for assessing the quality of collaboratively created content on web 2.0

User‐generated content is one of the most interesting phenomena of current published media, as users are now able not only to consume, but also to produce content in a much faster and easier manner. However, such freedom also carries concerns about content quality. In this work, we propose an automatic framework to assess the quality of collaboratively generated content. Quality is addressed as a multidimensional concept, modeled as a combination of independent assessments, each regarding different quality dimensions. Accordingly, we adopt a machine‐learning (ML)‐based multiview approach to assess content quality. We perform a thorough analysis of our framework on two different domains: Questions and Answer Forums and Collaborative Encyclopedias. This allowed us to better understand when and how the proposed multiview approach is able to provide accurate quality assessments. Our main contributions are: (a) a general ML multiview framework that takes advantage of different views of quality indicators; (b) the improvement (up to 30%) in quality assessment over the best state‐of‐the‐art baseline methods; (c) a thorough feature and view analysis regarding impact, informativeness, and correlation, based on two distinct domains.
Expression of defective hepatitis B virus particles derived from singly spliced RNA is related to liver disease.

BACKGROUND Defective hepatitis B virus (HBV) particles, generated from singly spliced HBV RNA, have been detected in chronic carriers of HBV. The present study was designed to quantify the expression of defective HBV (dHBV) and wild-type HBV (wtHBV) genomes in the serum of patients with HBV infection and its relation to the severity of liver disease. METHODS HBV and dHBV loads were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in the serum of 89 untreated HBV-infected patients (31 coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] type 1) with liver disease of different stages. The ratio of dHBV DNA to total (wtHBV plus dHBV) HBV DNA (dHBV/HBV ratio) was used to express data independently of the level of viral replication. RESULTS Despite a global correlation between dHBV and wtHBV load, the dHBV/HBV ratio ranged from 0.001% to 69%. The variation in dHBV/HBV ratio was independent of HIV coinfection, HBV genotype, and precore mutations. The mean dHBV/HBV ratio was higher in patients with severe liver necrosis and fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that an elevated dHBV/HBV ratio is associated with liver necroinflammation and fibrosis disease, suggesting a regulation of dHBV expression according to the severity of the liver disease. The dHBV/HBV ratio may help to better define liver disease stage during HBV infection.
Accuracy of molecular data in the understanding of ultracold collisions.

We show through close-coupled quantum-scattering calculations that the cross section for fine-structure-changing collisions between excited [sup 2][ital P][sub 3/2] and ground [sup 2][ital S][sub 1/2] [ital A] atoms of the same species, where [ital A]=Rb or Cs, is very sensitive to the molecular potentials and spin-orbit matrix elements of the alkali-metal-dimer species. Spectroscopic studies of these species are needed to extract accurate parameters. New high-resolution photoassociation spectroscopy of trapped atoms could be used for this purpose.
Designing and defining the knowledge sharing management system between governmental organizations

The knowledge management has become important after information explosion and human's entrance into science era. Therefore, science became the most important source for organizations and countries. Science management is the process of creating value from invisible assets (Human force) of the organization. The private sector has taken the first steps to put into operation 'Science Management ‘’but the government follows the private sector with the distance of one step. However, the studies concerning sharing science out are rare as the most important part of science management process in governmental sector. This article discusses the designing of the system to share science out in governmental organizations as an essential pattern of the systems (Entrance, process, and exit). Having examined the sources concerning science management and sharing it out, our final model of the study has considered the elements important in science management frame as input in governmental sector (People, organization, technology) influencing sharing science out, the science management activities as process and finally organizational operation improvement and favorable services as the output.

Epidemiology of travel-related hospitalization.

BACKGROUND Limited information exists on causes of hospitalization in patients returning from the tropics, and most is focused on febrile diseases. We evaluated all causes of post-travel hospitalization in a tertiary care hospital in Israel. METHOD Demographics, diagnoses, and destinations of patients admitted between January 1999 and December 2003 with a history of recent travel were recorded. Demographics and destination of healthy travelers presenting to our pretravel clinic at the same period were recorded. RESULTS Of 211 patients admitted, 71% were males, 8% were immigrants/foreign workers, and febrile diseases accounted for 77% of admissions. The most common diagnoses were malaria in 54 (26%), unidentified febrile disease in 34 (16%), and dengue fever in 27 (13%). New World cutaneous leishmaniasis was the most common cause of admission among nonfebrile patients (18 [9%]). Diarrheal diseases accounted for only 11% of admissions. Regarding destination, 101 (48%) patients had been to Asia, 71 (34%) to Africa, and 43 (20%) to the Americas. Of our healthy traveler population, 59% traveled to Asia, 20% to Africa, and 20% to the Americas. Travel to Africa carried the highest risk of being hospitalized (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.16-2.97; p = .01). Most (59%) patients returning from Africa had malaria. The principal health problem originating in Asia was dengue fever (27%), and from Latin America, cutaneous leishmaniasis (48%). Males comprised 71% of the patients, and 59% of the healthy traveler population (p < .0001). Males were more likely to acquire malaria (OR 2.15, 95% CI 1.13-4.09; p = .02) and leishmaniasis (OR 3.41, 95% CI 0.97-11.89; p = .05). CONCLUSIONS Febrile diseases were the most common cause for hospitalization, with malaria, unidentified febrile diseases, and dengue fever being the most common. Diseases were destination related; travel to Africa was associated with a higher rate of hospitalization. Malaria and cutaneous leishmaniasis had a substantially male predominance, probably due to risk-taking behavior.
Perceptions of marketing academics, neurologists, and marketing professionals about neuromarketing

Abstract Neuromarketing uses the latest advances in brain scanning to learn more about the mental processes behind customer purchasing decisions. The purpose of this exploratory research was to reveal the perceptions of marketing academics, neurologists, and marketing professionals regarding neuromarketing studies, as they have an important role for the future of neuromarketing studies. Quantitative analysis was conducted on data from 111 marketing academics, 52 neurologists, and 56 marketing professionals. All participants agreed that neuromarketing is not a manipulative way of selling unnecessary goods and services. Three factors – interest and participation, knowledge and awareness, and ethics – were perceived as the most important aspects of neuromarketing according to the three groups of participants. Analyses of the perception of neuromarketing revealed that neurologists and marketing professionals perceive neuromarketing more favorably than marketing academics.
Semi Month Effect in Indian Health Care Sector with Reference BSE Health Care Index

This study investigates the existence of a Semi month effect in India"s Health Care sector. The study uses the daily return data of the Bombay Stock Exchanges (BSE) Health Care (HC) Index for the period ranging between April 2006 and March 2015. After examining the random of the return series, we insist on Descriptive statistics & paired "t" test to find the semi month effect in stock returns in India. The outcomes confirm the presence of seasonality in stock returns in India and the semi month effect. The findings are also reliable with the semi-month effect does exist in the BSE Health Care index. The results of the study imply that the stock market in India, Health Care sector is inefficient, and hence, investors can time their share investments to expand returns.

Dynamic O-Glycosylation of Nuclear and Cytosolic Proteins

Dynamic modification of cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins by O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) on Ser/Thr residues is ubiquitous in higher eukaryotes and is analogous to protein phosphorylation. The enzyme for the addition of this modification, O-GlcNAc transferase, has been cloned from several species. Here, we have cloned a human brain O-GlcNAcase that cleaves O-GlcNAc off proteins. The cloned cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 916 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 103 kDa and a pI value of 4.63, but the protein migrates as a 130-kDa band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The cloned O-GlcNAcase has a pH optimum of 5.5–7.0 and is inhibited by GlcNAc but not by GalNAc.p-Nitrophenyl (pNP)-β-GlcNAc, but notpNP-β-GalNAc or pNP-α-GlcNAc, is a substrate. The cloned enzyme cleaves GlcNAc, but not GalNAc, from glycopeptides. Cell fractionation suggests that the overexpressed protein is mostly localized in the cytoplasm. It therefore has all the expected characteristics of O-GlcNAcase and is distinct from lysosomal hexosaminidases. Northern blots show that the transcript is expressed in every human tissue examined but is the highest in the brain, placenta, and pancreas. An understanding of O-GlcNAc dynamics and O-GlcNAcase may be key to elucidating the relationships between O-phosphate and O-GlcNAc and to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and neurodegeneration.
Crowdsourcing In-Situ Data on Land Cover and Land Use Using Gamification and Mobile Technology

Citizens are increasingly becoming involved in data collection, whether for scientific purposes, to carry out micro-tasks, or as part of a gamified, competitive application. In some cases, volunteered data collection overlaps with that of mapping agencies, e.g., the citizen-based mapping of features in OpenStreetMap. LUCAS (Land Use Cover Area frame Sample) is one source of authoritative in-situ data that are collected every three years across EU member countries by trained personnel at a considerable cost to taxpayers. This paper presents a mobile application called FotoQuest Austria, which involves citizens in the crowdsourcing of in-situ land cover and land use data, including at locations of LUCAS sample points in Austria. The results from a campaign run during the summer of 2015 suggest that land cover and land use can be crowdsourced using a simple protocol based on LUCAS. This has implications for remote sensing as this data stream represents a new source of potentially valuable information for the training and validation of land cover maps as well as for area estimation purposes. Although the most detailed and challenging classes were more difficult for untrained citizens to recognize, the agreement between the crowdsourced data and the LUCAS data for basic high level land cover and land use classes in homogeneous areas (ca. 80%) shows clear potential. Recommendations for how to further improve the quality of the crowdsourced data in the context of LUCAS are provided so that this source of data might one day be accurate enough for land cover mapping purposes.
