In this study, we used a systems vaccinology approach to identify temporal changes in immune response signatures to the yellow fever (YF)-17D vaccine, with the aim of comprehensively characterizing immune responses associated with protective immunity. We conducted a cohort study in which 21 healthy subjects in China were administered one dose of the YF-17D vaccine; PBMCs were collected at 0 h and then at 4 h and days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, 28, 84, and 168 postvaccination, and analyzed by transcriptional profiling and immunological assays. At 4 h postvaccination, genes associated with innate cell differentiation and cytokine pathways were dramatically downregulated, whereas receptor genes were upregulated, compared with their baseline levels at 0 h. Immune response pathways were primarily upregulated on days 5 and 7, accompanied by the upregulation of the transcriptional factors JUP, STAT1, and EIF2AK2. We also observed robust activation of innate immunity within 2 d postvaccination and a durable adaptive response, as assessed by transcriptional profiling. Coexpression network analysis indicated that lysosome activity and lymphocyte proliferation were associated with dendritic cell (DC) and CD4+ T cell responses; FGL2, NFAM1, CCR1, and TNFSF13B were involved in these associations. Moreover, individuals who were baseline-seropositive for Abs against another flavivirus exhibited significantly impaired DC, NK cell, and T cell function in response to YF-17D vaccination. Overall, our findings indicate that YF-17D vaccination induces a prompt innate immune response and DC activation, a robust Ag-specific T cell response, and a persistent B cell/memory B cell response.

Published: July 2017

Neste ensaio, é promovida uma discussão crítica a respeito das teorias e das principais obras que tratam do estudo das escolhas contábeis, com o objetivo de despertar provocações e reflexões para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas sobre esse tema. A literatura da área ofereceu contribuições ao longo dos anos, porém questões, como a existência de uma teoria consolidada das escolhas contábeis e os determinantes das múltiplas escolhas contábeis, ainda não estão claras. As principais contribuições deste estudo são: oferecer uma triangulação teórica com base em discussões fundamentadas sobre a Teoria Contratual da Firma, sobre as teorias econômicas que consubstanciam a chamada ‘Teoria Positiva da Contabilidade’ e sobre a Teoria Institucional; e propor reflexões para o estudo de múltiplos fatores determinantes e consequências econômicas das escolhas contábeis, empregando diferentes abordagens metodológicas. Acredita-se que as amarrações teóricas e hipotéticas (assim como suaslimitações) derivadas da interação entre as teorias aqui criticadas possam despertar a necessidade de reestruturações das pesquisas em escolhas contábeis, tanto em termos teóricos quanto metodológicos.

Published: July 2017

Objetiva-se analisar como os indivíduos que lidam com a profissão contábil se posicionam em relação às decisões da vida e em relação à resiliência. Trata-se de uma survey com amostra de 303 profissionais contábeis. A pesquisa é exploratória e quantitativa. Nesse sentido, três hipóteses de pesquisa foram testadas sobre a relação com cada subdimensão do locus de controle e o nível de resiliência. Os resultados confirmam a existência de relação direta e significante entre a subdimensão do Locus de Controle Interno (LCI) e o nível de resiliência. Considera-se finalmente que há predominância de LCI nos profissionais contábeis do gênero masculino, bem como se observou que aqueles com maior formação profissional e os do sexo feminino apresentaram características de maior resiliência.
O custo financeiro dos tributos sobre consumo nas cadeias de suprimento brasileiras: uma proposta metodológica
Authors: Costa Daniel Fonseca , Chain Caio Peixoto , Carvalho Francisval De Melo , Moreira Bruno César de Melo
Published: July 2017

Entre as principais discussões fiscais no Brasil está o fato de os tributos indiretos onerarem sobremaneira os preços dos produtos e, consequentemente, influenciarem o padrão de consumo. Este trabalho teve o objetivo de propor um modelo para mensurar o custo financeiro dos tributos sobre consumo ao longo das cadeias de suprimentos e analisar a sensibilidade desse custo em relação ao tempo e ao valor agregado. Foram elaboradas equações com as incidências tributárias baseadas na legislação vigente, que foram aplicadas em uma cadeia de suprimentos simulada. Por fim, realizou-se uma análise de sensibilidade, por meio de regressão linear, em 200 cadeias hipotéticas. Essas análises corroboraram a tese de que quanto mais longa é a cadeia produtiva e quanto maior forem os valores agregados nos elos iniciais, maior será o custo financeiro. Pode-se concluir que o modelo é aplicável e que o custo financeiro dos tributos influencia o preço final de venda dos produtos.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8069.2017v14n31p108O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto do registro contábil da provisão matemática previdenciária dos servidores públicos federais no Balanço Geral da União (BGU). Para tratar a questão da pesquisa, foi efetuado levantamento dos balanços atuariais dos Regimes Próprios de Previdência Social (RPPS) divulgados nos Projetos de Lei de Diretrizes Orçamentárias do Governo Federal Brasileiro nos anos de 2006 a 2015 e analisados os BGU divulgados nas prestações de contas da Presidência da República nos anos de 2004 a 2013, a partir dos elementos (ou grupos de contas) dos balanços atuariais do RPPS e dos balanços patrimoniais da União. Os achados do estudo mostram que em nenhum dos anos analisados foi constatado o registro da provisão matemática previdenciária (PMP) no BGU, e que em todo esse período a unidade gestora de RPPS dos servidores federais apresentou passivo atuarial superior às contribuições vertidas para o plano. Observou-se, também, que o passivo atuarial se manteve em torno de 20% em relação ao Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) no período de 2004 a 2010, com pico de crescimento nos anos de 2011 (31,4%) e 2012 (33,6%) e queda em 2013 (27,1%), indicando que as insuficiências financeiras podem afetar o equilíbrio do RPPS no longo prazo, e que, caso a PMP tivesse sido registrada no BGU, não haveria “reserva garantidora” para honrar os compromissos assumidos pelo RPPS da União no período.
Notas sobre a relação família-escola na contemporaneidade
Authors: Souza Fábio Kalil
Published: July 2017

O desenvolvimento de qualquer ser humano pode ser concebido de forma intercontextual. Durante sua existência ele atravessa, mormente, dois inquestionáveis contextos de desenvolvimento: a família e a escola. Compreender como essas agências atuam, separadas e interconectadas, nesse processo de vir-a-ser do indivíduo é fundante para deseclipsar o assunto. A relação entre elas passa a ser o foco. Este artigo, de natureza teórica, apresenta um estudo não exaustivo da relação família-escola. A partir da revisão bibliográfica como metodologia, que inclui resultados de pesquisas nacionais e estrangeiras, o autor transita na temática descrevendo as principais contribuições das investigações. Concluiu-se que a relação família-escola, tomada como imprescindível ao desenvolvimento dos sujeitos, é carregada de ambivalências, conflitos, assimetrias, contradições, mas também de cooperação, de parceria e de complementaridade de ações, a depender de como se dá o jogo inter-relacional entre os envolvidos e a presença de fatores socioculturais diversos.
A intolerância de sempre e a de hoje: uma leitura psicanalítica
Authors: Santi Pedro Luiz Ribeiro de
Published: July 2017

Neste artigo, analiso as raízes da intolerância de uma perspectiva psicanalítica e as formas que ela tem tomado em nossa vida política nos últimos anos. Em primeiro lugar, exponho uma concepção sobre a relação entre a intolerância e a formação do Eu para,  então, compreender as mudanças sobre o que é ou não tolerável em diferentes contextos. Em seguida, passo a uma análise das condições psicossociais para a tolerância ao outro, desenvolvendo o argumento de que uma falha da intermediação simbólica é um fator importante nas formas  contemporâneas da intolerância. Ante a esta falha, as relações com ideias e pessoas permanecem presas no imaginário e a capacidade de reflexão é inibida, como num fetiche. Concluo que é na instituição de uma intermediação simbólica entre o Eu e o Outro que pode haver uma condição de convivência mais tolerante.
Sulfate Geoengineering Impact on Methane Transport and Lifetime: Results from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP)

Published: July 2017

Abstract. Sulfate geoengineering, made by sustained injection of SO2 in the tropical lower stratosphere, may impact the CH4 abundance through several photochemical mechanisms affecting tropospheric OH and hence the methane lifetime. (a) Solar radiation scattering increases the planetary albedo and cools the surface, with a tropospheric H2O decrease. (b) The tropospheric UV budget is upset by the additional aerosol scattering and stratospheric ozone changes: the net effect is meridionally not uniform, with a net decrease in the tropics, thus producing less tropospheric O(1D). (c) The extratropical downwelling motion from the lower stratosphere tends to increase the sulfate aerosol surface area density available for heterogeneous chemical reactions in the mid-upper troposphere, thus reducing the amount of NOx and O3 production. (d) The tropical lower stratosphere is warmed by solar and planetary radiation absorption by the aerosols. The heating rate perturbation is highly latitude dependent, producing a stronger meridional component of the Brewer-Dobson circulation. The net effect on tropospheric OH due to the enhanced stratosphere-troposphere exchange may be positive or negative depending on the net result of different superimposed species perturbations (CH4, NOy, O3, SO4) in the extratropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). In addition, the atmospheric stabilization resulting from the tropospheric cooling and lower stratospheric warming favors an additional decrease of the UTLS extratropical CH4, by lowering the horizontal eddy mixing. Two climate-chemistry coupled models are used to explore the above radiative, chemical and dynamical mechanisms affecting CH4 transport and lifetime (ULAQ-CCM and GEOSCCM). The CH4 lifetime may become significantly longer (by approximately 16 %) with a sustained injection of 8 Tg-SO2/yr started in year 2020, which implies an increase of tropospheric CH4 (200 ppbv) and a positive indirect radiative forcing of sulfate geoengineering due to CH4 changes (+0.10 W/m2 in the 2040–2049 decade and +0.15 W/m2 in the 2060–2069 decade).

Abstract. This study assesses the impact of dust on surface solar radiation focussing on an extreme dust event. For this purpose, we exploited the synergy of AERONET measurements and passive and active satellite remote sensing (MODIS and CALIPSO) observations, in conjunction with radiative transfer model (RTM) and chemical transport model (CTM) simulations and the 1-day forecasts from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). The area of interest is the eastern Mediterranean where anomalously high aerosol loads were recorded between 30 January and 3 February 2015. The intensity of the event was extremely high, with aerosol optical depth (AOD) reaching 3.5, and optical/microphysical properties suggesting aged dust. RTM and CTM simulations were able to quantify the extent of dust impact on surface irradiances and reveal substantial reduction in solar energy exploitation capacity of PV and CSP installations under this high aerosol load. We found that such an extreme dust event can result in Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) attenuation by as much as 40–50 % and a much stronger Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) decrease (80–90 %), while spectrally this attenuation is distributed to 37 % in the UV region, 33 % in the visible and around 30 % in the infrared. CAMS forecasts provided a reliable available energy assessment (accuracy within 10 % of that obtained from MODIS). Spatially, the dust plume resulted in a zonally averaged reduction of GHI and DNI of the order of 150 W m−2 in southern Greece, and a mean increase of 20 W m−2 in the northern Greece as a result of lower AOD values combined with local atmospheric processes. This analysis of a real-world scenario contributes to the understanding and quantification of the impact range of high aerosol loads on solar energy and the potential for forecasting power generation failures at sunshine-privileged locations where solar power plants exist, are under construction or are being planned.
Bivariate return periods of temperature and precipitation explain a large fraction of European crop yields
Authors: Zscheischler Jakob , Orth Rene , Seneviratne Sonia I.
Published: July 2017

Abstract. Crops are vital for human society. Crop yields vary with climate and it is important to understand how climate and crop yields are linked to ensure future food security. Temperature and precipitation are among the key driving factors of crop yield variability. Previous studies have investigated mostly linear relationships between temperature and precipitation and crop yield variability. Other research has highlighted the adverse impacts of climate extremes, such as drought and heat waves, on crop yields. Impacts are, however, often non-linearly related to multivariate climate conditions. Here we derive bivariate return periods of climate conditions as indicators for climate variability along different temperature–precipitation gradients. We show that in Europe, linear models based on bivariate return periods of specific climate conditions explain on average significantly more crop yield variability (42 %) than models relying directly on temperature and precipitation as predictors (36 %). Our results demonstrate that most often crop yields increase along a gradient from hot and dry to cold and wet conditions, with lower yields associated with hot and dry periods. The majority of crops are most sensitive to climate conditions in summer and to maximum temperatures. The use of bivariate return periods allows the integration of non-linear impacts into climate–crop yield analysis. This offers new avenues to study the link between climate and crop yield variability and suggests that they are possibly more strongly related than what is inferred from conventional linear models.
Towards an assessment of riverine dissolved organic carbon in surface waters of the Western Arctic Ocean based on remote sensing and biogeochemical modeling

Published: July 2017

Abstract. Future climate warming of the Arctic could potentially enhance the load of riverine dissolved organic carbon (RDOC) of Arctic rivers due to increased carbon mobilization within watersheds. A greater flux of RDOC might thus impact the biogeochemical processes of the coastal Arctic Ocean (AO). In this study, we show that estimates of RDOC concentrations in the surface waters of the Canadian Beaufort Sea computed for 2003–2011 by both optical remote sensing and a physical-biogeochemical coupled model compare favorably. Our results suggest that, over spring-summer, RDOC contributes to 35 % of primary production and that an equivalent of ~ 10 % of the riverine RDOC is exported westwards with a potential for fueling the biological production of the eastern Alaskan nearshore waters. The combination of model and satellite data can be extended to the entire AO to quantify the expected changes in RDOC fluxes and their potential impact on AO biogeochemistry. This is left for future work.
Analysis of data characterizing tide and current fluxes in coastal basins
Authors: Armenio Elvira , De Serio Francesca , Mossa Michele
Published: July 2017

Abstract. Many coastal monitoring programmes have been carried out to investigate in situ hydrodynamic patterns and correlated physical processes, such as sediment transport or spreading of pollutants. The key point is the necessity to transform this growing amount of data provided by marine sensors into information for users. The present paper aims to outline that it is possible to recognize the recurring and typical hydrodynamic processes of a coastal basin, by conveniently processing some selected marine field data. The illustrated framework is made up of two steps. Firstly, a sequence of analysis with classic methods characterized by low computational cost was executed in both time and frequency domains on detailed field measurements of waves, tides, and currents. After this, some indicators of the hydrodynamic state of the basin were identified and evaluated. Namely, the assessment of the net flow through a connecting channel, the time delay of current peaks between upper and bottom layers, the ratio of peak ebb and peak flood currents and the tidal asymmetry factor exemplify results on the vertical structure of the flow, on the correlation between currents and tide and flood/ebb dominance. To demonstrate how this simple and generic framework could be applied, a case study is presented, referring to Mar Piccolo, a shallow water basin located in the inner part of the Ionian Sea (southern Italy).
An operational procedure for rapid flood risk assessment in Europe

Published: July 2017

Abstract. The development of methods for rapid flood mapping and risk assessment is a key step to increase the usefulness of flood early warning systems and is crucial for effective emergency response and flood impact mitigation. Currently, flood early warning systems rarely include real-time components to assess potential impacts generated by forecasted flood events. To overcome this limitation, this study describes the benchmarking of an operational procedure for rapid flood risk assessment based on predictions issued by the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS). Daily streamflow forecasts produced for major European river networks are translated into event-based flood hazard maps using a large map catalogue derived from high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations. Flood hazard maps are then combined with exposure and vulnerability information, and the impacts of the forecasted flood events are evaluated in terms of flood-prone areas, economic damage and affected population, infrastructures and cities.An extensive testing of the operational procedure has been carried out by analysing the catastrophic floods of May 2014 in Bosnia–Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia. The reliability of the flood mapping methodology is tested against satellite-based and report-based flood extent data, while modelled estimates of economic damage and affected population are compared against ground-based estimations. Finally, we evaluate the skill of risk estimates derived from EFAS flood forecasts with different lead times and combinations of probabilistic forecasts. Results highlight the potential of the real-time operational procedure in helping emergency response and management.
Prediction of the area affected by earthquake-induced landsliding based on seismological parameters
Authors: Marc Odin , Meunier Patrick , Hovius Niels
Published: July 2017

Abstract. We present an analytical, seismologically consistent expression for the surface area of the region within which most landslides triggered by an earthquake are located (landslide distribution area). This expression is based on scaling laws relating seismic moment, source depth, and focal mechanism with ground shaking and fault rupture length and assumes a globally constant threshold of acceleration for onset of systematic mass wasting. The seismological assumptions are identical to those recently used to propose a seismologically consistent expression for the total volume and area of landslides triggered by an earthquake. To test the accuracy of the model we gathered geophysical information and estimates of the landslide distribution area for 83 earthquakes. To reduce uncertainties and inconsistencies in the estimation of the landslide distribution area, we propose an objective definition based on the shortest distance from the seismic wave emission line containing 95 % of the total landslide area. Without any empirical calibration the model explains 56 % of the variance in our dataset, and predicts 35 to 49 out of 83 cases within a factor of 2, depending on how we account for uncertainties on the seismic source depth. For most cases with comprehensive landslide inventories we show that our prediction compares well with the smallest region around the fault containing 95 % of the total landslide area. Aspects ignored by the model that could explain the residuals include local variations of the threshold of acceleration and processes modulating the surface ground shaking, such as the distribution of seismic energy release on the fault plane, the dynamic stress drop, and rupture directivity. Nevertheless, its simplicity and first-order accuracy suggest that the model can yield plausible and useful estimates of the landslide distribution area in near-real time, with earthquake parameters issued by standard detection routines.

Abstract. During 2006–2014 in the western Teskey Range, Kyrgyzstan, four large drainages from glacial lakes have occurred. These flooding events caused extensive damage, killing people and livestock as well as destroying bridges, roads, homes, and crops. According to satellite data analysis and field surveys, the volume of water that drained at Kashkasuu glacial lake in 2006 was 198,000 m3, that at Jeruy lake in 2013 was 163,000 m3, and that at Karateke lake in 2014 was 169,000 m3. Due to their tunnel outlet, we refer here to these glacial lakes as a tunnel-type of short-lived glacial lakes that drastically grow and drain over several months. From spring to early summer, such a lake either appears, or in some cases, significantly expands from an existing lake, and then drains during summer. Our field surveys show that these short-lived lakes form when the ice tunnels inside a debris landform get blocked. The blocking is caused either by the freezing of stored water during winter or from collapse of the ice tunnel. The draining occurs through an open ice tunnel during summer. The growth–drain cycle can repeat when the ice-tunnel closure behaves like that on supraglacial lakes on debris-covered glacier. We argue here that the geomorphological conditions in which such a short-lived glacial lake appears are (i) existence of an ice-containing debris-landform (moraine complex), (ii) existence of lake-basin depressions having its water supply on a debris-landform, and (iii) no surface water channel from lake-basin depressions. Using these geomorphological conditions, we examined 60 lake-basin depressions (> 0.01 km2) in this region and identify here 56 of them that are potential locations for a short-lived glacial lake.
Los medios masivos de comunicación y el terrorismo: entre la verdad y el miedo

Los medios masivos de comunicación cumplen un rol importante en la sociedad, son una suerte de reforzadores morales que problematizan y ofrecen soluciones a las cuestiones importantes de la sociedad. No obstante, en la sociedad de consumo, somos testigos de un cambio sustancial en el rol de los medios quienes han pasado a ser productores del “espectáculo del desastre”. El 11 de septiembre ha marcado a fuego no solo el poder de los medios para distorsionar ciertas realidades a sus audiencias, sino para cubrir la noticia escondiendo las causas reales que fomentan el terrorismo. El presente ensayo intenta situarse como una critica constructiva al discurso periodístico y de los medios dominantes sobre el terrorismo.

Published: July 2017

La aparición de diversos medios ha enriquecido el ecosistema mediático, convirtiéndolo en el escenario ideal para el nacimiento de nuevos modelos de comunicación que buscan el uso conjunto de los distintos canales para la difusión de contenidos. En este contexto surgen las narrativas transmedia, modelo que consiste en que una historia, a la par que se expande a través de diferentes medios, se ve enriquecida con las características particulares de cada soporte y con la participación del público. El presente artículo parte de una revisión teórica sobre las actuales narrativas, centrándose en el modelo transmedia, para luego hacer un análisis sobre la gestión de contenidos que realiza el Grupo Editorial Cosas en Perú, con la finalidad de explorar en qué medida la empresa apunta hacia un modelo de comunicación transmedia.

Published: July 2017

En este trabajo se ha realizado una aproximación general inicial a la situación alimentaria y a los hábitos dietéticos  (y en menor medida de actividad física) en una muestra de  66 estudiantes de 1º de ESO. Todo ello, como paso previo, por la importancia que puede tener el conocimiento de esos datos para abordar  posibles programas de Educación para la Salud escolar. Desde el punto de vista de la aproximación a la situación alimentaria, utilizando para ello el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC), la predominante es Normopeso (un 66,7%), seguida de Exceso de peso (Sobrepeso + Obesidad, para el 24,3%) y de  Delgadez (para un 9,0%). En general el alumnado presenta valores bajos de aproximación a hábitos dietéticos de estilo mediterráneo (el 51,1 %  muy deficientes) y de actividad física saludable algo mejores, siendo malos para el  27,3%  (ambos medidos con el test Krece Plus). Por último se ha realizado un estudio especial de hábitos de Desayuno y   de toma de Media mañana  o recreo matinal por su importancia para la Educación para la Salud (EpS)  y Alimentaria escolar. De él se desprende que  valoradas en conjunto ambas la calidad alimentaria (tipo En-kid, o presencia de lácteos, cereales y frutas) de las tomas matinales mejora significativamente (p<0,01) y  pasaría a ser  alta para el 30,3% y media para el 45,4%; no obstante  sigue deficiente (baja y/o  mala) en el 24,3% de la muestra. Se plantea al final la necesidad de abordar propuestas de  EpS, por ejemplo de mejora de hábitos dietéticos de desayuno especialmente utilizando la toma del  Mm-recreo matinal. Además especialmente aconsejables en los alumnos con Exceso de peso (24,3%) que significativamente (p<0,05) no suelen realizar el Desayuno  o toman pocos  alimentos  como lácteos o cereales de calidad.

O objetivo deste estudo foi acompanhar o estado nutricional e o consumo alimentar de idosos durante o período de internação hospitalar no hospital do município de Guaporé, Rio Grande do Sul. Trata-se de um estudo de coorte, com a utilização de dados primários, realizado em 2014-2015.
A amostra foi composta por 62 idosos. Por meio de formulário, obtiveram-se os dados, como: gênero, idade, doença e tipo de dieta. Aplicou-se a Mini Avaliação Nutricional e o Recordatório Alimentar de 24 horas, no qual se avaliou o total de calorias, carboidrato, proteína, lipídeos, fibras,
cálcio e ferro. Ambos foram aplicados no momento da internação, dentro de 24 horas, e posteriormente, na alta hospitalar. A análise estatística foi realizada com o programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences. As variáveis quantitativas foram descritas por média e desvio padrão ou mediana e amplitude interquartílica e as qualitativas por frequências absolutas e relativas. Os resultados demonstraram que 21% dos idosos apresentaram magreza, 25,8% eutrofia e 53,2% excesso de peso, sendo que não houve mudanças significativas em relação às medidas antropométricas durante o período de internação. Verificou-se que houve aumento significativo do consumo alimentar da internação para um dia pré--alta hospitalar em praticamente todos os nutrientes, exceto para o percentual de proteínas e para o de lipídeos, onde houve redução significativa na segunda avaliação. Encontrou-se elevada prevalência de excesso de peso na amostra, sem perda de peso nos dias de internação hospitalar, mas com melhora na ingestão alimentar para calorias e a maioria dos nutrientes.

Techniques: Utility of a 3D printed bladder model for teaching minimally invasive urethrovesical anastomosis
Authors: Wong Nathan C. , Hoogenes Jen , Guo Yanbo , Quantz Mackenize A. , Matsumoto Edward D.
Published: July 2017

The urethrovesical anastomosis (UVA) is one of the most challenging steps during a minimally invasive radical prostatectomy. Not surprisingly, minimally invasive, in particular laparoscopic, prostatectomy is associated with a steep learning curve.1 With competency-based training on the horizon, as well as the recent reduction in resident work hours, surgical educators have shifted some training outside of the operating room into surgical skills labs. To reduce learning curves and improve resident education at our centre, we use a hands-on 3D printed bladder bench model to emulate the UVA task during a minimally invasive prostatectomy.
Experience Value, Satisfaction and Loyalty of International Tourists in Shanghai: A PLS-SEM Analysis
Authors: Mustelier Puig Lilian Consuelo , Ming Xu
Published: July 2017

The purpose of this paper is to explore loyalty and satisfaction of international tourists visiting Shanghai with tourism services through five experience value dimensions: functional value, price value, emotional value, social value and novelty value. A questionnaire was used to gather data from 166 international tourists visiting Shanghai during September-October, 2016. The measures were taken and adapted from William & Soutar (2009), and Prebensen & Rosengren (2016). Data was analyzed using SPSS 24 and SmartPlS 3.2. The results confirm a direct and significant relationship between experience value and its five dimensions. Although all the dimensions of experience value had a significant indirect effect on satisfaction and loyalty, the study showed that international tourists in Shanghai worry more about the emotional, social, and novelty value a service can offer rather than the price or functional value.
A Sectoral Supply-Side Model to Assess the Impact of Labour Market Reforms in Malta
Authors: Micallef Brian
Published: July 2017

The Maltese economy recovered strongly after the financial crisis of 2009 and its labour market kept the pace with the rapid evolution of the economy since EU membership. This labour market resilience has to be seen in the context of important labour market reforms undertaken in recent years that have played an important role in raising the Maltese economy’s potential growth rate. This paper presents a novel modelling approach to characterize the supply side of the Maltese economy. The model consists of a matrix transformation method using data on demography, education, labour market statistics from survey and administrative sources and gross value added from the National Accounts. This framework is used to quantitatively assess the economic impact of specific labour market policies, such as those pertaining to education and re-training, active labour market policies and inflows or outflows of workers from the labour market.

Published: July 2017

This paper investigates whether board of director independence affects the financial leverage of listed companies in Saudi Arabia. Although many studies have investigated capital structure theories, there are limited studies that consider board of director independence as a determinant of capital structure especially in the absence of tax regime. In a tax free regime, financial leverage would not be perceived as a tool to increases firm performance since firms cannot exploit the tax shield. This study employs panel data of 122 non-financial listed firms during the period 2012-2015. The results show a significant negative relationship between the presence of independent directors and capital structure; the independent directors appeared to play a significant role in motivating managers to pursue a low level of leverage among Saudi listed firms. This finding is robust to different model specifications.

Da filosofia da ciência à crise da epistemologia: contribuição à consciência reflexiva da área de comunicação
Authors: Rudiger Francisco
Published: July 2017

Quer-se com o artigo apresentar elementos históricos e filosóficos que possam contribuir para o esclarecimento das teses e discussões que, há alguns anos, travam-se no que, por vezes, se chama de “campo epistemológico da comunicação”. Na primeira seção, fala-se das origens e tarefas da filosofia da ciência - ou epistemologia. Em seguida, examina-se a maneira como as ciências humanas se tornaram seu objeto de estudo, apontado os principais estágios reflexivos da matéria. No final, chama-se a atenção para a crise do discurso epistemológico que tem lugar na pós-modernidade, paradoxalmente época de explosão das ciências da comunicação.

El comportamiento del cliente ha cambiado drásticamente en los últimos años. Ser capaz de anticipar el comportamiento de nuestros clientes es el santo grial de todo líder de negocio. Ahora somos capaces de trazar y almacenar parte de ese comportamiento observado del cliente, eso gracias a la transformación digital, la adopción de redes sociales, la infraestructura en la nube y la tecnología disponible de big data. Este comportamiento observado se compone de transacciones repetitivas y compras recurrentes, así como de interacciones y navegación a través de las propiedades digitales, canales, dispositivos y aplicaciones. El presente artículo establece las bases para un modelo de datos común para representar el comportamiento trazado del cliente. Con este modelo, las organizaciones serán capaces de representar cualquier modelo de negocio centrado en el cliente, y analizar los problemas de marketing más comunes: segmentación, venta cruzada y retención. También permitirá usar las herramientas analíticas y predictivas más populares para el análisis del comportamiento del cliente.

Published: July 2017

Terapi intravena merupakan jenis terapi yang banyak diberikan pada pasien anak yang dirawat. Pemasangan intravena dalam waktu yang lama dapat menimbulkan komplikasi pada anak, seperti flebitis. Salah satu tindakan mengatasi flebitis adalah dengan mengompres Aloe vera yang bermanfaat karena memiliki elektrolit dalam konsentrasi rendah sehingga tidak menimbulkan ekstravasasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pengaruh pemberian Aloe vera terhadap derajat flebitis pada anak. Penelitian kuasi eksperimen ini melibatkan 15 anak yang dipilih dengan consecutive sampling. Semua sampel diberikan kompres Aloe vera murni. Derajat flebitis diukur dengan menggunakan skala flebitis Infusion Nurses Society (INS) sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan intervensi. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa rerata derajat flebitis sebelum perlakuan sebesar 2,60 dengan skor minimum-maksimum 1–5, rerata derajat flebitis sesudah perlakuan menjadi 1,07 dengan skor minimum-maksimum 0–3. Aloe vera efektif menurunkan derajat flebitis pada anak (p= 0,000). Penelitian selanjutnya perlu dilakukan untuk membandingkan efektifitas kompres Aloe vera dengan terapi non farmakologis lainnya.  Abstract Reducing the Grade of Phlebitis due to Intravenous Therapy in Children with Aloe Vera Compress. Intravenous therapy is a type of treatment that is widely provided to hospitalized children. Intravenous application in a long time causes complications in children, such as phlebitis. One of the interventions in handling phlebitis is compressing Aloe vera which is useful because it has electrolyte in low concentration so as not to cause extravasation. This study aims to identify the effect of Aloe vera on the degree of phlebitis in hospitalized children. This quasi-experimental study involved 15 children selected by consecutive sampling. All samples received a pure Aloe vera compress. The grade of phlebitis was measured using the INS phlebitis scale before and after the intervention. This study found that the mean degree of phlebitis before treatment was 2.60 with a minimum-maximum score 1–5, and after treatment, the average grade of phlebitis was 1.07 with a minimum-maximum score 0–3. Aloe vera effectively decreased the degree of phlebitis in children (p= 0.000). Further research needs to compare the effectiveness of Aloe vera compresses with other non-pharmacological measurements. Keywords: Aloe vera, intravenous therapy, pediatric, phlebitis
Fungi associated with mesophotic macroalgae from the ‘Au‘au Channel, west Maui are differentiated by host and overlap terrestrial communities

Mesophotic coral ecosystems are an almost entirely unexplored and undocumented environment that likely contains vast reservoirs of undescribed biodiversity. Twenty-four macroalgae samples, representing four genera, were collected from a Hawaiian mesophotic reef at water depths between 65 and 86 m in the ‘Au‘au Channel, Maui, Hawai‘i. Algal tissues were surveyed for the presence and diversity of fungi by sequencing the ITS1 gene using Illumina technology. Fungi from these algae were then compared to previous fungal surveys conducted in Hawaiian terrestrial ecosystems. Twenty-seven percent of the OTUs present on the mesophotic coral ecosystem samples were shared between the marine and terrestrial environment. Subsequent analyses indicated that host species of algae significantly differentiate fungal community composition. This work demonstrates yet another understudied habitat with a moderate diversity of fungi that should be considered when estimating global fungal diversity.

Background

Parasitoids are frequently used in biological control due to the fact that they are considered host specific and highly efficient at attacking their hosts. As they spend a significant part of their life cycle within their hosts, feeding habits and life history of their host can promote specialization via host-race formation (sequential radiation). The specialized host races from different hosts can vary morphologically, behaviorally and genetically. However, these variations are sometimes inconspicuous and require more powerful tools in order to detect variation such as geometric morphometrics analysis.

Methods

We examinedAphidius ervi, an important introduced biological control agent in Chile associated with a great number of aphid species, which are exploiting different plant hosts and habitats. Several combinations (biotypes) of parasitoids with various aphid/host plant combinations were analyzed in order to obtain measures of forewing shape and size. To show the differences among defined biotypes, we chose 13 specific landmarks on each individual parasitoid wing. The analysis of allometric variation calculated in wing shape and size over centroid size (CS), revealed the allometric changes among biotypes collected from different hosts. To show all differences in shape of forewings, we made seven biotype pairs using an outline-based geometric morphometrics comparison.

Results

The biotypeA. pis_pea(Acyrthosiphon pisumon pea) was the extreme wing size in this study compared to the other analyzed biotypes. Aphid hosts have a significant influence in the morphological differentiation of the parasitoid forewing, splitting biotypes in two groups. The first group consisted of biotypes connected withAcyrthosiphon pisumon legumes, while the second group is composed of biotypes connected with aphids attacking cereals, with the exception of theR. pad_wheat(Rhopalosiphum padion wheat) biotype. There was no significant effect of plant species on parasitoid wing size and shape.

Discussion

Although previous studies have suggested that the genotype of parasitoids is of greater significance for the morphological variations of size and shape of wings, this study indicates that the aphid host on whichA. ervidevelops is the main factor to alter the structure of parasitoid forewings. Bigger aphid hosts implied longer and broader forewings ofA. ervi.
