AbstractTHE PERCEPTION OF BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS IN FULFILLINGTHE NEEDS OF NUTRITION AN ETHNOGRAPHY STUDY ON JAVANESSE The perception that establish breastfeeding mothers in fulfilling the nutrition needson Javanese culture is derived from hereditary taught by their family and influential figures in the community. The purpose of this study is to know about the perception of Javanese breastfeeding postpartum mothers fulfilling nutritional needs. This is qualitative research with a principled approach to the study of the naturalistic inquiry. Information was obtained from 8 participants selected according tothe principle of sampling, those are the suitability and sufficiency which describe phenomena and linkages to research topics. Perception research results in fulfilling nutritional needs of breastfeeding mothers by adding the eating portion; forbid eating eggs and chicken. It is because they can cause wound inflammation/infection. Moreover, they try to increase their milk production by “wuwung bathing”, snacking the nuts and drinking “jamu gendongan”. All participants follow their parents’ suggestion, but high educated participants have the ability to negotiate with the parents. Nurses should have good interpersonal communication skills, understand the socio-cultural aspects and the uniqueness of the individual against the perception that is believed in order to avoid conflicts in changing perceptions related to nutrition, to develop and support the group including health personnel, family and clients.Keywords: Perception, nutrition, breastfeed

The purpose of this study is to develop smart equipment to quantify plantar tactile sensibility for early diagnosis and tracking of peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes mellitus. In this paper, we present new testing equipment composed of a plantar tactile stimulation platform with a moving contactor to stretch the skin tangentially, a response switch for each tactile stimulus, a motor control box, and a personal computer for psychophysical data processing. This testing equipment offers more precise measurements and is easy to use compared to conventional testing tools such as von Frey monofilaments, pin-prick testing devices, and current perception threshold testers. Using our testing equipment, we showed that the plantar tactile threshold for the tangential stretching stimulus on the first metatarsal head of the feet ranges from approximately 10 to 60 μm for subjects without diabetic foot problems. Meanwhile, the plantar tactile threshold of some subjects suspected of having diminished protective sensation by the Semmens-Weinstein monofilament testing is approximately 100 μm or more. These preliminary results suggest that our testing equipment based on the plantar sensation elicited by lateral stretching of skin has the potential for quantitative diagnosis in subjects suspected of suffering from neuropathy, and for monitoring changes over time to sustain quality of life.

Published: January 2017

Japanese Industry Standards (JIS) S 0021 (Packaging – Accessible Design – General Requirements) indicate the design policy for easy-to-use packaging and containers, targeting various individuals including elderly persons and individuals with disabilities. The JIS S 0021 includes tactile signs that are necessary to ensure the ease of distinguishing and handling as well as the ease of using those packaging and containers. The JIS S 0021 prescribes tactile signs on shampoo containers and notches for beverage paper packaging containers as tactile signs to distinguish the contents of the package and to differentiate between containers with the same or similar shapes. The policy was expanded to include tactile signs for body soaps when the standard was amended in 2014, and this was attributed to the fact that organizations of visually impaired demanded tactile signs for body soap, since body soap is often packaged in containers with shapes similar to those for shampoos and hair conditioners. Hence, tactile signs prescribed for body soap in JIS S 0021 guidelines were recently expanded to commercially available body soap containers. In the present study, experiments were performed to study the shapes of tactile signs for distinguishable body soap container. Specifically, shapes were studied through the following two steps: 1) tactile signs were selected based on experiments to evaluate the ease of distinguishing between multiple tactile signs, in a hearing survey involving visually impaired; and 2) experiments were performed to evaluate the tactile signs assuming that they were manufactured in collaboration with the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association, which is an industry organization of manufacturers for body soap and other products. It should be noted that the experiments involving distinguishing between products prioritized tactile signs on the top surfaces of the containers instead of on the side, since visually impaired tend to distinguish between pump containers by touching the top surfaces of the containers in hotels and public restrooms. The results of the experiments were used for tactile signs in the amended JIS S 0021 in 2014 for body soap. This study described evaluation experiments performed on the distinguishability of tactile signs on the top surfaces of pump type body soap containers to determine the factors that should be considered when establishing JIS tactile signs for body soap containers.
Why Peer Crowds Matter: Incorporating Youth Subcultures and Values in Health Education Campaigns
Authors: Moran Meghan B. , Walker Matthew W. , Alexander Tesfa N. , Jordan Jeffrey W. , Wagner Dana E.
Published: January 2017

Grounded on research showing that peer crowds vary in risk behavior, several recent health behavior interventions, including the US Food and Drug Administration’s Fresh Empire campaign, have targeted high-risk peer crowds.

We establish the scientific foundations for using this approach. We introduce peer crowd targeting as a strategy for culturally targeting health behavior interventions to youths. We use social identity and social norms theory to explicate the theoretical underpinnings of this approach. We describe Fresh Empire to demonstrate how peer crowd targeting functions in a campaign and critically evaluate the benefits and limitations of this approach.

By replacing unhealthy behavioral norms with desirable, healthy lifestyles, peer crowd–targeted interventions can create a lasting impact that resonates in the target audience’s culture.
Civil Legal Services and Medical-Legal Partnerships Needed by the Homeless Population: A National Survey
Authors: Tsai Jack , Jenkins Darlene , Lawton Ellen
Published: January 2017

Objectives. To examine civil legal needs among people experiencing homelessness and the extent to which medical-legal partnerships exist in homeless service sites, which promote the integration of civil legal aid professionals into health care settings.

Methods. We surveyed a national sample of 48 homeless service sites across 26 states in November 2015. The survey asked about needs, attitudes, and practices related to civil legal issues, including medical-legal partnerships.

Results. More than 90% of the homeless service sites reported that their patients experienced at least 1 civil legal issue, particularly around housing, employment, health insurance, and disability benefits. However, only half of all sites reported screening patients for civil legal issues, and only 10% had a medical-legal partnership. The large majority of sites reported interest in receiving training on screening for civil legal issues and developing medical-legal partnerships.

Conclusions. There is great need and potential to deploy civil legal services in health settings to serve unstably housed populations. Training homeless service providers how to screen for civil legal issues and how to develop medical-legal partnerships would better equip them to provide comprehensive care.
Mass Shootings: The Role of the Media in Promoting Generalized Imitation
Authors: Meindl James N. , Ivy Jonathan W.
Published: January 2017

Mass shootings are a particular problem in the United States, with one mass shooting occurring approximately every 12.5 days.

Recently a “contagion” effect has been suggested wherein the occurrence of one mass shooting increases the likelihood of another mass shooting occurring in the near future. Although contagion is a convenient metaphor used to describe the temporal spread of a behavior, it does not explain how the behavior spreads. Generalized imitation is proposed as a better model to explain how one person’s behavior can influence another person to engage in similar behavior.

Here we provide an overview of generalized imitation and discuss how the way in which the media report a mass shooting can increase the likelihood of another shooting event. Also, we propose media reporting guidelines to minimize imitation and further decrease the likelihood of a mass shooting.

Published: January 2017

Objectives. To describe variability in the burden of firearm violence by race, income, and place in an urban context.

Methods. We used Philadelphia Police Department data from 2013 to 2014 to calculate firearm assault rates within census block groups for both victim residence and event locations, stratifying by race and block group income. We used cartographic modeling to determine variations in incidence of firearm assault by race, neighborhood income, and place.

Results. The overall rate of firearm assault was 5.0 times higher (95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.5, 5.6) for Black people compared with White people. Firearm assault rates were higher among Black people across all victim residence incomes. Relative risk of firearm assault reached 15.8 times higher (95% CI = 10.7, 23.2) for Black residents in the highest-income block groups when compared with high-income White individuals. Firearm assault events tended to occur in low-income areas and were concentrated in several “hot spot” locations with high proportions of Black residents.

Conclusions. Profound disparity in exposure to firearm violence by race and place exists in Philadelphia. Black people were substantially more likely than White people to sustain firearm assault, regardless of neighborhood income.

Authors: Abdullah Peter , Bary Pakasa , Khasananda Rio , Sya’banni Rahmat Eldhie
Published: January 2017

This paper discusses banking competition and leader-follower relationship. Banking competition is investigated using some specification from Monti-Klein model that allows leader-follower (i.e. Stackleberg) relationship, the possibility of Cournot competition and other form of competition. We use monthly observations across 119 banks listed in Indonesia using the standard panel fixed effect methodology to absorb time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity and dynamic panel data to minimize the risks of endogeneity. The estimation suggests the leader-follower relationship among banks exist both on loan and deposit markets. The results are mostly consistent across different groups and on full sample estimates, although are quite different in magnitudes. While leader-follower relationship is dominantly occur in credit market, there are some evidence of simultaneous appearance of both leader-follower and Cournot interactions on the deposit market

Published: January 2017

The efficiency level of the banking industry is the most important indicator to identify the soundness of banking system. This paper use non parametric frontier approach, DEA, to analyze the Islamic bank efficiency in ASEAN. We use price of deposit from customers, deposits and placements of banks, labor, and others operational expenditures as control variabel, and using financing, deposits and placements on other insitution, securities, others investment as output variabel. We found that the mix bank is the most efficient group within the observation period. Furthermore, the average Islamic banking efficiency in Indonesia, on intermediation approach, is lower than the average of ASEAN, unless they can reduce the cost of labor and other operational expenses. This paper also examines the determinant of efficiency of the Islamic Banking in ASEAN. Internal factors are Total Aset, ROA, BOPO, and ETA, and external faktor are Market Power and Inflation. Using Tobit regression, the result shows the factors that most influence to the Islamic banking efficiency in Indoneisa is the total size of the bank or its assets, OPEX/OR, and Market Power.

Published: January 2017

The growth of Indonesian economy on Quarter II, 2016 increased with a well-maintained financial system and macroeconomic stability. Though the growth was not uniform across sectors, the aggregate growth has increased during this quarter, supported by domestic demand, fiscal stimulus, along with monetary policy ease. On the other hand, the macroeconomic stability was well preserved as reflected on inflation within the band target, a better current account deficit, and relatively stable Rupiah’s rate. This stable macroeconomic condition enabled the monetary authority to ease their policy. In the future, the policy coordination between the fiscal and the monetary authority is required, particularly on accelerating the implementation of structural reform, to support a sustainable economic growth.

Published: January 2017

The growth of Indonesian economy on Quarter III, 2016 recorded positive growth with a wellmaintained financial system and macroeconomic stability. The economy grew moderately supported by remaining strong domestic demand amidst the slow recovery of the global economy. The economic stability is also good reflected on the low inflation, decreasing current account deficit, and relatively stable exchange rate. An increase of domestic economy and lower global financial risk enable monetary ease on Quarter III, 2016. Furthermore, the reduction of interest rate policy is well transmitted and is expected to strengthen the growth momentum of the economy. Looking forward, Bank Indonesia will keep strengthening his policy mix and macroprudential, and his coordination with the government to ensure the inflation control, greater stimulus for growth, and the implementation of structural reform run on the right track, and hence preserve the sustainable economic development.

Authors: Aissa Nayasari , Hartono Djoni
Published: January 2017

Energy is one of the most important inputs that supports Indonesia’s economy. The government utilises coal and oil as the main sources for power plants energy mix. However, the utilization of fossil fuel energy has been proven to pose negative impacts on the environment such as, increasing carbon dioxide emission which leads to global warming. This study analyses investment policy on increasing electricity production of geothermal power plants as well as substitution of fossil energy to geothermal energy using Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model and Indonesia’s data of Social Accounting Matrix 2008. The result shows that when investment on the substitution of energy from fossil to renewable energy takes place, economic growth will increase and carbon dioxide emission will reduce significantly.
Vertical Stratification of Soil Phosphorus as a Concern for Dissolved Phosphorus Runoff in the Lake Erie Basin
Authors: Baker David B. , Johnson Laura T. , Confesor Remegio B. , Crumrine John P.
Published: January 2017

During the re‐eutrophication of Lake Erie, dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) loading and concentrations to the lake have nearly doubled, while particulate phosphorus (PP) has remained relatively constant. One potential cause of increased DRP concentrations is P stratification, or the buildup of soil‐test P (STP) in the upper soil layer (<5 cm). Stratification often accompanies no‐till and mulch‐till practices that reduce erosion and PP loading, practices that have been widely implemented throughout the Lake Erie Basin. To evaluate the extent of P stratification in the Sandusky Watershed, certified crop advisors were enlisted to collect stratified soil samples (0–5 or 0–2.5 cm) alongside their normal agronomic samples (0–20 cm) (n = 1758 fields). The mean STP level in the upper 2.5 cm was 55% higher than the mean of agronomic samples used for fertilizer recommendations. The amounts of stratification were highly variable and did not correlate with agronomic STPs (Spearman's r = 0.039, p = 0.178). Agronomic STP in 70% of the fields was within the buildup or maintenance ranges for corn (Zea mays L.) and soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] (0–46 mg kg−1 Mehlich‐3 P). The cumulative risks for DRP runoff from the large number of fields in the buildup and maintenance ranges exceeded the risks from fields above those ranges. Reducing stratification by a one‐time soil inversion has the potential for larger and quicker reductions in DRP runoff risk than practices related to drawing down agronomic STP levels. Periodic soil inversion and mixing, targeted by stratified STP data, should be considered a viable practice to reduce DRP loading to Lake Erie.

Core Ideas

P stratification increases surficial soil‐test levels by 55% over agronomic cores.

Agronomic soil‐test levels are not good indicators of surficial soil‐test levels.

Soils in maintenance range account for the largest proportion of DRP runoff risks.

Targeted stratification reduction could reduce DRP runoff more than drawdown.

Stratification reduction could reduce DRP runoff more quickly than drawdown.

A regularização fundiária urbana na Amazônia Legal
Authors: Gouvêa Denise De Campos , Ávila Paulo Coelho , Ribeiro Sandra Bernardes
Published: January 2017

Este artigo examina como a ocupação irregular de terras na Região Amazônica gerou conflitos que exigiram uma nova lei federal para a resolução do problema. Durante a década de 1970, o governo federal, para estimular a ocupação da região, desenvolveu programas para a fixação de colonos e empresas em terras da União, sob a coordenação do Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária – Incra. No entanto, a falta de processos rigorosos de distribuição de terras e o descuido sobre o uso e a ocupação do solo permitiram a formação e o crescimento de cidades em muitos assentamentos rurais. Tal fato resultou em cidades onde a irregularidade fundiária afeta milhares de moradias em toda a região. Para resolver a situação, o governo federal editou em 2009 a Lei 11.952, que estabelece condições específicas e regras para a destinação das terras da União aos municípios de modo a promoverem a regularização fundiária e o desenvolvimento sustentável das cidades. Palavras-chave: regularização fundiária; região amazônica; urbanização; desenvolvimento urbano; insegurança da posse. Abstract: This article reviews how the irregular occupation of land in the Amazon region generated conflicts that claimed for a federal law for a resolution. In the 1970's, to stimulate occupation of the region, the federal government developed programs to give away public land to settlers and firms willing to explore the region, under the coordination of INCRA, the national government agency for agrarian reform. However, lack of a rigorous process of land distribution and oversight of land use allowed the formation and growth of cities in several rural settlements. This resulted in many urban areas where insecure land tenure affects thousands of housing and public buildings overall in the region. To resolve this situation, the federal government edited the Federal Law 11,952 in 2009, establishing the specific conditions and regulations to transfer federal land to the municipalities in order to regularize land ownership and promote sustainable urban development. Keywords: land regularization; amazonian region; urbanization; urban development; insecure land tenure.

Published: January 2017

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to determine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of a predictive hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia minimization (PHHM) system compared with predictive low-glucose insulin suspension (PLGS) alone in overnight glucose control.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A 42-night trial was conducted in 30 individuals with type 1 diabetes in the age range 15–45 years. Participants were randomly assigned each night to either PHHM or PLGS and were blinded to the assignment. The system suspended the insulin pump on both the PHHM and PLGS nights for predicted hypoglycemia but delivered correction boluses for predicted hyperglycemia on PHHM nights only. The primary outcome was the percentage of time spent in a sensor glucose range of 70–180 mg/dL during the overnight period.

RESULTS

The addition of automated insulin delivery with PHHM increased the time spent in the target range (70–180 mg/dL) from 71 ± 10% during PLGS nights to 78 ± 10% during PHHM nights (P < 0.001). The average morning blood glucose concentration improved from 163 ± 23 mg/dL after PLGS nights to 142 ± 18 mg/dL after PHHM nights (P < 0.001). Various sensor-measured hypoglycemic outcomes were similar on PLGS and PHHM nights. All participants completed 42 nights with no episodes of severe hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, or other study- or device-related adverse events.

CONCLUSIONS

The addition of a predictive hyperglycemia minimization component to our existing PLGS system was shown to be safe, feasible, and effective in overnight glucose control.
The Key is in the Reading Finding a Project
Authors: MacLaren Andrew , Hill Emma
Published: January 2017

This chapter steers towards understanding ideas in the context of academic research so that, even if you thought your idea was a ‘eureka!’ style moment, you will also be able to give it roots in extant and firmly-founded scholarship. In Management studies, ideas are valued for their ‘innovation’, their relevance, and their introduction of the new. First the chapter discusses where ideas come from and how to make ideas ‘interesting’. Then it deconstructs Maclean, Harvey and Chia’s (2012) paper to provide an example of idea generation and justification in practice. It then moves on to explaining how to make sure ideas for projects are modest, delimited and realistic. The chapter concludes by working through how to construct and write a research proposal.

This chapter presents several qualitative data collection techniques appropriate to business management research, such as interviews, focus groups, ethnographic approaches, observations, and the use of diaries. To the inexperienced researcher, these approaches may initially appear a less challenging methodological option to pursue, however, this chapter serves to highlight the inherent complexities associated with qualitative techniques and offers accessible advice and guidance for researchers new to qualitative research, or those looking to formalise their current understanding.
Case Studies and Data
Authors: Papachroni Angeliki , Lochrie Sean
Published: January 2017

The backbone of every research project is the collection of data that a researcher has identified as worthy of analysis. Interviews, survey questionnaires, publically available information and audio-visual material are all potential sources of data to a researcher. However, collecting data can be a daunting experience, either because you have too little data or because what looked like a rich dataset has turned into a nightmarish sense of data-overload. It is therefore helpful to spend time thinking about where you will look for data. Evaluating data sources will save valuable time and resources but also tends to lead to better analysis and more robust results. What constitutes good practice when collecting data is very much dependent on the research tradition within which your project is placed. How do different research traditions define and use data? For those scholars whose work you are engaging with closely, where did they source data? The chapter will help you evaluate data quality, consider ways in which different sources of data be combined and will provide practical advice on data collection. Additionally, a great part of this chapter is dedicated to case studies as an example of a methodology that can be based on different types of data. By following the advice offered here, you will be able to collect data that are relevant to your research methodology and build high quality insights.

Authors: Arshed Norin , Dansen Mike
Published: January 2017

It is important to demonstrate and critically analyse your understanding of the literature within your chosen field of study or research. The chapter highlights the different types of literature reviews: the traditional literature review versus the systematic literature review. The literature review is often essential in establishing what is known about a subject area, and by association what is not yet known, allowing you to understand and explore gaps in knowledge by appraising, encapsulating, comparing, contrasting, and correlating scholarly books, research articles, reports and various other sources of information. This chapter provides guidance on undertaking a literature review by highlighting the key stages of the process: selecting a topic, searching the literature, reading and reviewing the literature, critiquing the literature, evaluating the literature, and finally writing the literature review. The aim of this chapter is to offer a clear, concise and structured way of undertaking a literature review to establish your theoretical framework and methodological focus.

Understanding customers and gaining insight into the context in which the business is operating is key to creating a relevant, valuable offering. In order to secure funding, market research features prominently in business plans and is viewed as a necessity when setting up an enterprise or before the launch of a new product or service. For established businesses, continuous research helps keep abreast of turbulent business environments where new competitors emerge, customer tastes change and new opportunities develop. Research can help answer the following questions: who are the customers, where are they, what do they want, how can they be reached and why is this business different from others? This chapter will introduce some of the more readily available sources that can be helpful in discovering trends, and will evaluate a range of appropriate tools that can help improve business decisions.
Gender and Work life Balance
Authors: Glasgow Steven , Sang Katherine
Published: January 2017

The concept of work-life balance is an increasingly important issue in today’s society as a result of changing labour demographics. The traditional 9-5 working week cannot cater for all workers and many employers recognise this. Research from the CIPD (2012) indicates that 96% of employers in the UK offer some form of work-life balance practice, with part-time working (88%) and homeworking (54%) being the most common arrangements offered. Despite the increased interest in the work-life balance, there is ambiguity around what work-life balance is. Much of the confusion comes from a lack of agreement over what constitutes ‘work’, and what is ‘life’. This chapter explains the concept of work-life balance, the measures organizations can take to support the work-life balance of its members and the potential benefits and barriers associated with their implementation. The chapter also considers the role of gender in work-life balance, as women are more likely than men to use a work-life balance policy, with 77% working flexibly in some way (CIPD, 2012).
The Legal Function
Authors: Bisacre Josephine
Published: January 2017

When we look at business, we generally focus on large global businesses, such as Apple, Shell or Rolls Royce. While there are around 5.2 million businesses in the UK, in fact 99% of them are extremely small (HM Government, 2014). Despite the rate of business failure being high in the early years, overall numbers of businesses are slowly growing. Most new businesses start small, with a view to expansion. This narrows the choice of business medium, as some forms may not suit a particular business at its current stage of development. The focus of this chapter is on the legal structures for doing business. It adopts terminology from the UK’s legal system, but similar structures apply in other countries. The objective is to show when a particular legal structure might be appropriate and to highlight key differences between legal structures for enterprises. We also examine the concept of legal personality, which allows a business to be considered as a separate entity from its members, and allows the members of some organizations to have limited liability for business obligations. Most countries have some business forms where the proprietors carry unlimited liability and others where they can avail themselves of limited liability.

Background & Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the oral health related knowledge, attitude and practices of bachelors level nursing college students in Kathmandu district.Materials & Methods: Data was collected using pre-designed questionnaire among 251 nursing students of three colleges comprising of 43 closed ended questions adopted from various studies. Twenty five questions related to knowledge, 8 questions of attitude and 10 of practice were asked. Prior to conducting the study permission was obtained from institutional review board of Kantipur Dental College and from the Campus Chief of the nursing colleges.Results: Majority of respondents had good oral health knowledge including functions of teeth (94.0%), mineral important for tooth formation (98.4%), vitamin necessary for growth and development of  teeth (91.2%), dental caries (90.4%), gingival diseases (96.4%) and treatment for malocclusion (90.8%). Almost half of the participants did not know about treatment options for gum disease, consequences of irregular teeth and causes of oral cancer. Majority of the participants showed good attitudes towards oral health with 99.2% giving equal importance to their teeth like their general health. 78.9% of the participants brush twice daily with 98% using toothbrush and toothpaste among whom 65.7% uses soft bristle toothbrushes. Conclusion: It was seen that oral health related knowledge, attitude and practice of nursing students was adequate but further improvements can be encouraged and facilitated.

Published: January 2017

Background & Objectives: Among the various methods used in the estimation of intrauterine fetal weight, sonographic fetal weight estimation is the one and has become an important component of antenatal care. The study was conducted with objective to assess the accuracy and reliability of ultrasound estimation of fetal weight in women with a singleton term pregnancy. Materials & Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of 120 women with singleton term pregnancies. Ultrasound estimated fetal weight was calculated by measuring the biparietal diameter and abdominal circumference. The estimated fetal weight was compared to the actual birth weight post delivery. The correlation between estimated fetal weight and actual birth weight was assessed by Pearson's correlation coefficient and the accuracy of sonographic fetal weight estimation was measured using mean error, mean absolute error, mean percentage error, mean absolute percentage error and proportion of estimates within 10% of actual birth weight. Results were tested at error level set at p ≤ 0.05.Results: Mean estimated and actual birth weights were 2863.5 ± 441.9 g and 2822.5 ± 407.7 g respectively. There was a strong positive correlation between estimated fetal weight and actual birth weight (r= 0.71, p <0.001). The mean percentage error and mean absolute percentage error of ultrasound fetal weight estimations were 1.9 ± 11.4% and 8.8 ± 7.5% respectively. Conclusion: Sonographically estimated fetal weight had strong positive correlation with actual birth weight and thus sonography can be used in the estimation of fetal weight for the better perinatal outcome.

Contribution des sciences de gestion aux politiques publiques
Authors: Livolsi Laurent , Fabbe-Costes Nathalie
Published: January 2017

Si l’impact des sciences de gestion est surtout attendu dans le domaine du management des entreprises, cet article s’intéresse à leur impact sur les politiques publiques. Il s’appuie sur le cas de la « stratégie logistique nationale » en cours d’élaboration. Après avoir retracé la genèse de cette stratégie nationale, il montre comment des enseignants-chercheurs en sciences de gestion ont contribué à son émergence avant de participer à son élaboration. L’analyse de leur contribution et de l’évolution de leur rôle dans ce processus invite à formuler des questions sur ce type de recherche, sa reconnaissance et son apport aux sciences de gestion.
À propos d’impact de la recherche
Authors: Abdessemed Tamym , Merino Pascale Bueno
Published: January 2017

L’objectif de cet article est de mettre en perspective l’importance grandissante de la notion d’impact dans l’élaboration des stratégies de recherche des écoles de management françaises. Après avoir analysé le contexte d’émergence de l’impératif d’impact, les auteurs tentent de définir cette notion à partir d’enseignements de la littérature académique et institutionnelle. Ils insistent ensuite sur les incidences de cet impératif en matière de management des contributions intellectuelles soumis actuellement à des injonctions paradoxales.

Soft red winter wheat (SRWW) (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop in the southeastern region of the United States and in Georgia. Although wheat acreages have been decreasing in Georgia and the SE region in recent years, more than 100,000 ha were grown to SRWW in 2015. Newly released cultivars must have high yield potential, excellent resistance levels to predominant diseases and insects, and good quality to capture and maximize regional market value. One objective of the SRWW breeding program at the University of Georgia (UGA) is to develop and release SRWW cultivars adapted to the SE wheat region with high yield, quality, and pest resistance. ‘GA 03564‐12E6’ (Reg. No. CV‐1122, PI 677366) SRWW was developed by the UGA small grains breeding program and the SUNGRAINS cooperative and released by the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and licensed to Limagrain Cereal Seeds as L11544 in 2015. GA 03564‐12E6 was released primarily for its wide adaptation to the SE region with high grain yield, excellent Hessian fly resistance, and excellent grain volume weight. Additionally, GA 03564‐12E6 has good resistance to races of leaf rust and stripe rust predominant in Georgia and the SE United States. It has good resistance to powdery mildew (caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici) and Soil‐borne wheat mosaic virus and has acceptable SRWW milling and baking quality. However, it is susceptible to Fusarium head blight (FHB) or scab [caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe; teleomorph Gibberella zeae (Schwein.) Petch].
