South East European Transport Axis Cooperation

The existing SEE transport framework & network are inadequate to actual requirements. For too long the relevant institutions were concentrating on national infrastructures where most of the investments have been made to the detriment of the trans-national implications. Current transport facilities, mostly in the non-EU countries are way beneath international standards mainly because of insufficient investment & inadequate maintenance.The development and completion of the Trans European Transport Network (TEN-T) will definitely improve this situation and facilitate the full integration of the region into the rest of Europe. Better spatial integration & transport connection means major investments, stronger economy, higher employment & larger opportunities for the citizens. Pan-European Corridors (PECs) can be integrated in the South Eastern Transport Axis (SETA) as an essential part of the TEN-T fulfiling a complementary role as a priority transport network outside of the EU territory. During the PEC meetings the project idea to strengthening the transnational cooperation among SEE Ministries of Transport, PEC Steering Committees and Secretariats was developed. To reach this overall objective, the project has been articulated in the following Work Packages (WPs) that correspond to the project specific objectives: WP1: institutional coordination to build an effective SETA framework and network in compliance with recent EU transport policies (i.e. HLG Report and COM(2008) 125 final); WP2: establishment of an institutional and transparent communication system; WP3: implementation of a coordinated database management system; WP4: definition of multi-modal traffic scenarios and common mobility standards and environmental (EIA & SEA) guidelines; WP5: identification of necessary financial resources and financing mechanisms; WP6: finalisation of SEE Spatial Planning.
Prime Time for Intermittent Androgen Suppression

Although androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been standard first-line systemic therapy for advanced prostate cancer (PCa) for 60 yr, prostate-specific antigen (PSA)induced stage and age migration has significantly altered the treatment landscape to include >90% high-risk localised or biochemical recurrent disease; only 5% of patients present with M1 disease. To improve ADT outcomes, clinical research has focussed on maximising androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibition by combining luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues with AR antagonists. These maximal androgen blockade approaches will continue to evolve using newer steroidogenesis inhibitors (eg, abiraterone) and AR antagonists (eg, enzalutamide) and by cotargeting AR crosstalk signalling pathways. Research has also focussed on optimal timing and scheduling issues, with unresolved debates about early versus deferred ADT and continuous versus intermittent ADT. Clearly, timing of ADT must be guided by risk and age stratification as well as patient-oriented quality-of-life (QoL) and cost-of-treatment considerations. Earlier administration of ADT to defer progression of high-risk localised (usually in combination with radiotherapy), recurrent, or metastatic disease is supported by a large body of theoretical, preclinical, and clinical evidence [1–3]. Progressively earlier intervention raises the prospect of very long periods of ADT attended by clinical side effects that reduce QoL, including osteoporosis, anaemia, lipid disorders, and muscle wasting. This is more relevant now with median survival in M0 disease exceeding 10 yr [4] and in M1 disease often exceeding 4 yr [5]. These collective effects of stage migration and longer life expectancy with a trend towards earlier therapy are forcing clinicians to find strategies that balance the benefits of early ADT against its cumulative adverse metabolic and psychological effects on QoL as well as drug-related costs to the health care system. Intermittent androgen suppression (IAS) is an approach that balances the benefits of early ADT while reducing treatment-related side effects and expense. The rationale for IAS is based on the assumption that early ADT, when used in men at high risk of progression, will prolong survival compared to delayed therapy [1–3] and that adaptive changes in gene expression in tumour cells surviving ADT can be modulated by androgen replacement, with restoration of apoptotic potential and delayed progression to

Implementation of SCM in inter‐organizational relationships: a symbolic perspective

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate supply chain management (SCM) as a management implement from a symbolic perspective on a dyadic level. So far, no research has investigated SCM from such a perspective, although SCM researchers implicitly have noted that it would be useful to have such a study in order to broaden the understanding of the SCM concept, as such a study allows for the use of alternative sociological theories. Design/methodology/approach A single case study was chosen in order to investigate a focal firm's use of SCM. A total of 27 hours of interviews and 15 hours of observations were carried out at the focal firm and with a number of the firm's suppliers in order to investigate the subject. Findings The paper found that the SCM concept impacts the relationship between buyer and supplier in different ways depending on two dimensions: SCM as tool vs symbol and arm's length relationships vs strategic partnerships. Contrary to the mainstream idea of SCM as a tool for increased effectiveness of supply chains and increased collaboration with key suppliers, this paper found that SCM from a symbolic perspective at the focal firm came to function as either a justification or as a post‐rationalization for actions taken by the focal firm depending on whether the relationship can be considered a strategic partnerships or an arm's length relationship, respectively. Research limitations/implications The paper was conducted from a dyadic, buyer‐supplier perspective. Being a limitation of the study, future research should investigate the proposed claims set forward in this paper on different levels (focal, chain, and network) in order to either strengthen or weaken the credibility of this present paper. Originality/value This is the first paper to investigate the management implement of SCM from a symbolic perspective.

‘A real woman has to do it all – with the kids and in the office’: Doing femininity in the transcultural context of Russian-German migration

The au pair stay allows young women to experience the doing gender of family work and waged work in another cultural context than their own. This article investigates how Russian university graduates, who had been working as an au pair in Germany, developed transcultural strategies to balance work and family for their prospective future referring to these different experiences. It will be shown that interviewees rejected the Soviet family model of the fulltime ‘working mother’. Some women positively evaluated that in Germany the equality of gender has been better established than in Russia and aimed at sharing housework with their partner. Criticizing the outsourcing of childcare to an employee, in this family model femininity is not based on housework but on women's dedication to motherhood. Other women negatively evaluated that in Germany the family model of the ‘business woman’ characterized by women's role as the main breadwinner of the family and the primary provider of family work has developed.

Association of time intervals in cancer screenings and older participants’ characteristics, in a U.S. nationally representative sample.

e24020 Background: Various guidelines regarding cancer screening intervals for older adults exist. They often differ based on age cut-offs. There is limited national data about factors impacting adherence to these guideline-based intervals. Using a national-representative dataset, self-reported screening rates between men and women for breast (Mammogram) or prostate (PSA) cancer were explored. The demographic and lifestyle characteristics associated with screening time intervals were also investigated. Methods: Data from the nationally representative National Social Life Health and Aging Project Wave 3 (NSHAP-W3, 2015) was used. Individuals with no history of cancer were asked: How long has it been since you last had a screening (Mammogram or PSA). Responses ranged from 1 = within the past year, 2 = between one and five years ago , 3 = more than five but less than ten years ago, 4 = ten or more years ago, 5 = never. Age groups consisted of 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, ≥80. Ordinal Logistic regression was used to study the association between screening time intervals (Mammogram or PSA) and participants’ characteristics (demographic, emotional, self-reported physical health, and physical activity). Results: Community-dwelling older adults (n = 2,320) were included (52% women, 48% men, with mean age of 66.9 years). There was a curvilinear response by age. The middle-age groups (60 thru 79) were significantly more likely to report shorter screening intervals, compared to the youngest group (50-54) and oldest group (≥80): ORs ranging from 0.30 to 0.61. No significant differences were observed between the oldest and youngest groups. Higher household income was associated with shorter time intervals (Mammogram: OR = 0.77; PSA: OR = 0.78, p &lt; 0.001). African Americans were more likely to report shorter intervals between Mammograms (OR = 0.43, p &lt; 0.001), compared to white women. More physically active men were likely to report shorter intervals (OR = 0.92, p = 0.021). Conclusions: Participants who are in their 60s or 70s, are more likely to have shorter time intervals between cancer screenings. African American women, and men performing frequent exercise are also more likely to have shorter intervals. These results emphasize the importance of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, when seeking to impact cancer screening timing.
Frontal Cortex and the Discovery of Abstract Action Rules

Although we often encounter circumstances with which we have no prior experience, we rapidly learn how to behave in these novel situations. Such adaptive behavior relies on abstract behavioral rules that are generalizable, rather than concrete rules mapping specific cues to specific responses. Although the frontal cortex is known to support concrete rule learning, less well understood are the neural mechanisms supporting the acquisition of abstract rules. Here, we use a reinforcement learning paradigm to demonstrate that more anterior regions along the rostro-caudal axis of frontal cortex support rule learning at higher levels of abstraction. Moreover, these results indicate that when humans confront new rule learning problems, this rostro-caudal division of labor supports the search for relationships between context and action at multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously.
CAPACITIVE MEMS-BASED DISPLAY WITH TOUCH POSITION SENSING

A micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) pixel for display and touch position sensing includes a substrate and a capacitive element. The capacitive element includes one or more pixels having a first conductive platelet above the substrate, and a second conductive platelet above and spaced apart from the first conductive platelet, the two platelets forming the capacitive element. A connection to each platelet provides for applying a voltage, wherein the platelet separation changes according to the applied voltage. A transparent dielectric plate, spaced apart from and positioned opposite the substrate, covers the at least one pixel. A capacitance sensing circuit attached to the connection to each platelet of the pixel senses changes in capacitance not resulting from the applied voltage.

Lived experiences of Nepalese nurses working in Australia

Australia is a multicultural country with a long history of migration of Overseas Qualified Nurses (OQNs) from Non English Speaking Background (NESB) and their contribution in health care sector. However, little is known about the OQNs and their experiences. A phenomenological study guided by van Manen was used to explore the lived experiences of Nepalese nurses in Australia. The study aimed at exploring experiences of the Nepalese nurses and added significantly in understanding various factors associated with OQNs practising in Australia. Face to face in-depth interviews were conducted among five Nepalese nurses working as registered nurse (RN) in Australia for the purpose of this study. The findings of this study are categorized under four main headings: Lived Time, Lived Space, Lived World and Lived Corporality. Analysis and interpretation of the data was done according to van Manen's guidance. The experiences of the Nepalese nurses within Australian social and professional environment were very significant especially during the initial couple of years. Various levels of adjustment in relation to the language, culture, environment and professional practice were required. Experiences as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) in aged care facilities and involvement in bridging course for the registration were discovered as two important activities that helped the nurses to adapt in the professional and cultural practices. Also the support from the spouse was found to be significant to overcome all the challenges. The finding of this study reveals that the nurses were happy to be able to work in Australia even though the initial few years were stressful. The research findings can be used to assist other Nepalese nurses in their adaptation process. It can also be utilised by Australian nurses, organizations and policy makers to understand the Nepalese nurses and facilitate the adaption process of the Nepalese nurses as well as other OQNs. Thus, proper utilisation of the research findings can facilitate the adaptation process of these nurses in Australia.
Chemical composition characterization of air pollution (aerosols and gases) on the basis of nonlinear multi-channel lidar experiments

CAPABLE’s long term objective is to develop a complex lidar spectrometer that allows us to measure vertically resolved
profiles of trace gases, chemical components in particles, and bio-aerosols in atmospheric aerosol pollution. This information
can be used for studies of the effect of the vertical distribution of aerosol and gas pollution on climate forcing, air quality, and
human health. Impact on economically sensitive areas like air traffic safety caused by, e.g. volcanic plumes and desert dust,
will be a spin-out product of our work. This lidar spectrometer will be based on simultaneous, vertically and spectrally
resolved measurements of Raman and photoluminescence (PL)/fluorescence spectrums. In the first stage we develop the
technique to the point that we can identify some of the most important climate-relevant aerosol components in a qualitative
manner and we will develop computer models that will allow us to verify our measurement results on the basis of theoretical
simulations. The models will form an end-to-end simulator that will allow us to develop and design the basic concepts of a
Raman and PL spectroscopy lidar and necessary hardware specifications and explore the detection limits for the mobile
measurement channel that can be installed in existing lidars. In the second stage, which can in part be achieved in this twoyear
funding period we want to improve the methodology so that we can quantify at least some of the components,
preferably to the level of profiles of mass concentrations measured under ambient atmospheric conditions. The third stage,
which goes beyond the main purpose of our project, will explore the concept of Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy
(CARS) for chemical aerosol characterization. CARS could allow for detection of atmospheric pollutants with significantly
higher sensitivity, and thus result in much shorter data integration times.

GRAVITY-CONTACT SACRIFICIAL ANODE

The invention relates to a novel model of sacrificial anode that obviates the need for welding and reduces fastening time. This novel anode model has a metal appendage that can be hook-shaped and is designed to engage and provide electric contact between the anode and the jacket, or any other part of the structure that requires protection. The hook contact region has a pointed device (3) to enable full electric contact between the anode and the jacket element. This electric contact is therefore made under the weight of the anode itself, which may also include galvanically inert ballast (6) to guarantee the contact until the end of the service life of the anode.
Evolution of water-in-oil emulsions stabilized with solid particles

Abstract Water-in-oil emulsions made of water droplets dispersed in a continuous paraffin oil phase were prepared and stabilized with hydrophobic silica particles alone. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments were carried out to characterize the water droplets freezing transitions and their evolution with time. Water droplet size distribution, oil–water interfacial tension, and rheological stress–strain properties were determined alongside to better understand the role of particles in the formation and stabilization of emulsions. The results obtained were compared to the properties of emulsions prepared with a non-ionic emulsifier, sorbitan monooleate. No interfacial tension reduction was observed at the oil/water interface in presence of particles. As a consequence, the fragmentation of water into droplets required more energy in absence of surface-active emulsifiers. The resulting emulsion droplet size distribution is polydisperse and contains large droplets. Rheology measurements showed that the stability of the emulsion prepared with particles originates from the formation of a 3D network of particles in the continuous oil phase. In emulsion samples containing sorbitan monooleate, calorimetry experiments revealed a progressive displacement of the water droplet freezing transition due to a change in ice nucleation mechanism. The interpretation points out a possible reorganization of the emulsifier film at the water/oil interface, which could modify the conditions of crystallization of dispersed water droplets and affect the emulsion long-term stability. Calorimetry, when used together with other techniques, such as laser light scattering, provides complementary information on the evolution with time of the structure of the emulsion.
On the type locality of Ameivula ocellifera (Spix, 1825) (Squamata, Teiidae), with a neotype designation

Sur la localité type d'Ameivula ocellifera (Spix, 1825) (Squamata, Teiidae), avec la désignation d'un néotype. Le lézard Ameivula ocellifera (Spix, 1825) a été décrit de “Bahia”, nord-est du Brésil, par Spix en 1825. Ses syntypes sont considérés comme perdus et la localité type est inconnue. Pendant de nombreuses années, A. ocellifera a été considérée comme l'une des espèces de lézards coureurs les plus répandues en Amérique du Sud. Depuis 1997, plusieurs populations précédemment attribuées à A. ocellifera ont été décrites comme de nouvelles espèces. Considérant que la plupart des descriptions d'espèces étaient uniquement basées sur des données morphologiques, l'absence d'un spécimen-type et le doute concernant la localité type ont causé des incertitudes taxonomiques au fil des ans. De plus, la systématique d'Ameivula Harvey, Ugueto & Gutberlet, 2012 est en pleine évolution et la description imminente de nouvelles espèces actuellement attribuées à A. ocellifera rend urgente la désignation d'un néotype. Ici, nous passons en revue l'histoire taxonomique d'A. ocellifera, y compris les problèmes concernant sa localité type. Nous décrivons un néotype basé sur des caractères morphométriques et morphologiques externes, fournissant une base solide pour les futures études taxonomiques sur le groupe d'espèces A. ocellifera.
