The MEssaging for Diabetes Intervention Reduced Barriers to Medication Adherence Among Low-Income, Diverse Adults With Type 2
Authors: Mayberry Lindsay S. , Mulvaney Shelagh A. , Johnson Kevin B. , Osborn Chandra Y.
Published: September 2016

Background:

Nonadherence to diabetes medication is prevalent and costly. MEssaging for Diabetes (MED), a mobile health (mHealth) intervention, identified and addressed user-specific barriers to medication adherence. We assessed whether MED reduced users’ targeted barriers and if barrier reductions were associated with within-participant improvements in adherence or glycemic control (HbA1c).

Methods:

Adults (N = 80) with type 2 diabetes completed self-report measures identifying barriers to adherence at baseline and monthly for 3 months. At each assessment, 17 barriers were assessed and ranked for each user. Each subsequent month, users received daily text messages addressing their 3 highest ranked barriers. Targeted barriers were different for each participant and could change monthly. Paired t-tests assessed within-participant improvement in targeted barriers each month, and nested regression models assessed if changes in a participant’s barrier scores were associated with improvements in adherence and HbA1c.

Results:

Participants were 69% non-white and 82% had incomes <$25K. Average HbA1c was 8.2 ± 2.0%. Assessment completion rates were 100% at baseline, 59% at 1 month, 30% at 2 months, and 65% at 3 months. The most commonly reported barriers were the cost of medications (76%), believing medications are harmful (58%), and lacking information about medications (53%). Participants’ barrier scores improved each month and barrier improvement predicted adherence assessed via nightly adherence assessment text messages ( P < .001). Among participants who completed assessments each month, barrier improvement in months 2 and 3 ( P < .05) predicted HbA1c improvement.

Conclusions:

Iterative, individual tailoring may overcome users’ barriers to adherence. Attrition is a challenge for mHealth interventions among low-income patients.
Surgical Treatment of Bony and Soft-Tissue Impingement in Total Ankle Arthroplasty
Authors: Gross Christopher E. , Adams Samuel B. , Easley Mark , Nunley James A. , DeOrio James K.
Published: September 2016

Background. Impingement may be an underreported problem following modern total ankle replacements (TARs). The etiology of impingement is unclear and likely multifactorial. Because of the lack of conservative treatment options for symptomatic impingement after TAR, surgery is often necessary. Methods. We retrospectively identified a consecutive series of 1001 primary TARs performed between January 1998 and December 2014. We identified patients who required a secondary surgery to treat soft-tissue and bony impingement by either an open or arthroscopic procedure. Functional and clinical outcomes, including secondary procedures, infections, complications, and failure rates, were recorded. Results. In all, 75 patients (7.5%) required either open (n = 49) or arthroscopic debridement for impingement after TAR; 44 patients had >12 months of follow-up, with a follow-up of 26.5 months after their debridement procedure. The mean time to the debridement procedure for all prostheses was 29.3 months, with an average of 38.7 months in STAR, 21.8 months in INBONE, and 10.5 months in Salto Talaris patients. Of the patients with more than 1 year’s follow-up from their debridement, 84.1% were asymptomatic; 9 patients (20.4%) had repeat operations after their debridement procedure. Of these, 5 patients required a repeat debridement of their medial or lateral gutters for a failure rate of 11.4%. Conclusion. Both arthroscopic and open treatment of impingement after total ankle arthroplasty are safe and effective in improving function and pain. Although the rates for revision impingement surgery are higher in arthroscopic compared with open procedures, they are not significantly so. Therefore, we recommend arthroscopic surgery whenever possible because of earlier time to weight bearing and mobility.

Why does the homeowners' cross-neighborhood organizational coalition in Shanghai differ from that in Guangzhou? A city-level comparative analysis of the governance structures and political opportunities (threats)
Authors: Huang Ronggui , Gui Yong
Published: September 2016

This article presents a comparative study of homeowners' organizational coalitions in Shanghai and Guangzhou. Based on the analyses of the data from documents, first-hand interviews and Internet networks, the homeowners' organizational coalition in Shanghai was found to be weaker than that in Guangzhou. This article proposes an analytical framework that integrates the insights from social movement coalition studies and urban governance studies to explain the differences between the homeowners' cross-neighborhood coalitions in the two cities. Compared with Guangzhou, the property governance system in Shanghai is relatively advanced, and the probability of the homeowners experiencing common threats or severe rights infringements is relatively low; hence, the homeowners in different residential neighborhoods are less likely to collaborate. In addition, the highly developed base level governance structure in Shanghai also has the capacity to pre-empt the radicalization of conflicts and prevent them from becoming city-wide public issues. Finally, the lack of allies within the political system also encourages homeowners' localized collective action at the neighborhood level in Shanghai. Given the responsive nature of contention at the city level in China and the Chinese social management system's dual functions of social control and interest representation, future urban-contention studies should pay attention to the institutional roots of contenders' claims and institutional constraints on collective contention as well as the state's multifaceted roles. On the one hand, the state can, to some extent, pre-empt the emergence of large-scale collective actions through institutional design. On the other hand, the availability of institutional allies plays an important role in facilitating the formation of lateral coalitions.
Are Experienced Hearing Aid Users Faster at Grasping the Meaning of a Sentence Than Inexperienced Users? An Eye-Tracking Study
Authors: Habicht Julia , Kollmeier Birger , Neher Tobias
Published: September 2016

This study assessed the effects of hearing aid (HA) experience on how quickly a participant can grasp the meaning of an acoustic sentence-in-noise stimulus presented together with two similar pictures that either correctly ( target) or incorrectly ( competitor) depict the meaning conveyed by the sentence. Using an eye tracker, the time taken by the participant to start fixating the target (the processing time) was measured for two levels of linguistic complexity (low vs. high) and three HA conditions: clinical linear amplification (National Acoustic Laboratories-Revised), single-microphone noise reduction with National Acoustic Laboratories-Revised, and linear amplification ensuring a sensation level of ≥ 15 dB up to at least 4 kHz for the speech material used here. Timed button presses to the target stimuli after the end of the sentences ( offline reaction times) were also collected. Groups of experienced (eHA) and inexperienced (iHA) HA users matched in terms of age, hearing loss, and working memory capacity took part ( N = 15 each). For the offline reaction times, no effects were found. In contrast, processing times increased with linguistic complexity. Furthermore, for all HA conditions, processing times were longer (poorer) for the iHA group than for the eHA group, despite comparable speech recognition performance. Taken together, these results indicate that processing times are more sensitive to speech processing-related factors than offline reaction times. Furthermore, they support the idea that HA experience positively impacts the ability to process noisy speech quickly, irrespective of the precise gain characteristics.
Differential timing of granule cell production during cerebellum development underlies generation of the foliation pattern

Published: September 2016

Background

The mouse cerebellum (Cb) has a remarkably complex foliated three-dimensional (3D) structure, but a stereotypical cytoarchitecture and local circuitry. Little is known of the cellular behaviors and genes that function during development to determine the foliation pattern. In the anteroposterior axis the mammalian cerebellum is divided by lobules with distinct sizes, and the foliation pattern differs along the mediolateral axis defining a medial vermis and two lateral hemispheres. In the vermis, lobules are further grouped into four anteroposterior zones (anterior, central, posterior and nodular zones) based on genetic criteria, and each has distinct lobules. Since each cerebellar afferent group projects to particular lobules and zones, it is critical to understand how the 3D structure of the Cb is acquired. During cerebellar development, the production of granule cells (gcs), the most numerous cell type in the brain, is required for foliation. We hypothesized that the timing of gc accumulation is different in the four vermal zones during development and contributes to the distinct lobule morphologies.

Methods and Results

In order to test this idea, we used genetic inducible fate mapping to quantify accumulation of gcs in each lobule during the first two postnatal weeks in mice. The timing of gc production was found to be particular to each lobule, and delayed in the central zone lobules relative to the other zones. Quantification of gc proliferation and differentiation at three time-points in lobules representing different zones, revealed the delay involves a later onset of maximum differentiation and prolonged proliferation of gc progenitors in the central zone. Similar experiments in Engrailed mutants (En1

−/+

;En2

−/−
), which have a smaller Cb and altered foliation pattern preferentially outside the central zone, showed that gc production, proliferation and differentiation are altered such that the differences between zones are attenuated compared to wild-type mice.

Conclusions

Our results reveal that gc production is differentially regulated in each zone of the cerebellar vermis, and our mutant analysis indicates that the dynamics of gc production plays a role in determining the 3D structure of the Cb.
A proposed preventive role for Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (XyremR) in Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Maitre Michel , Klein Christian , Mensah-Nyagan Ayikoe G.
Published: September 2016

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB or XyremR) is frequently used in humans for several clinical indications, including anesthesia, narcolepsy/cataplexy, and alcohol-withdrawal symptoms. Pharmacological effects induced in the brain by therapeutic doses of XyremR are generally GABAergic-dependent. These effects allow sedation, stress/anxiety reduction, deep sleep induction, decrease of neuroinflammation, and neuroprotection. Furthermore, XyremR promotes the expression of pivotal genes reducing toxic proteinopathies, as demonstrated in laboratory animal models. Altogether, these data represent additional evidence to suggest that XyremR may be tested during repeated short periods in populations at risk for Alzheimer’s disease.

Published: September 2016

As network traffic grows and attacks become more prevalent and complex, we must find creative new ways to enhance intrusion detection systems (IDSes). Recently, researchers have begun to harness both machine learning and cloud computing technology to better identify threats and speed up computation times. This paper explores current research at the intersection of these two fields by examining cloud-based network intrusion detection approaches that utilize machine learning algorithms (MLAs). Specifically, we consider clustering and classification MLAs, their applicability to modern intrusion detection, and feature selection algorithms, in order to underline prominent implementations from recent research. We offer a current overview of this growing body of research, highlighting successes, challenges, and future directions for MLA-usage in cloud-based network intrusion detection approaches.
The impact of corporate reputation on brand attitude and purchase intention
Authors: Jung Na Young , Seock Yoo-Kyoung
Published: September 2016

The purpose of this study is to explore the influences of the negative corporate CEO and corporate social responsibility reputations on the changes in consumers’ brand attitudes and purchase intentions. To perform this study purpose, we proposed the relationships between brand awareness and perceived quality and initial brand attitude and purchase intention by relying on the hierarchy of effects model; then we assessed the changes in brand attitude and purchase intention after providing information on negative corporate reputation. Multiple regression analysis and paired samples T-tests were conducted to test the hypothesized relationships using a convenience sample of 212 respondents. The empirical results support significant effects of brand awareness and perceived quality on brand attitude and purchase intention. Furthermore, respondents’ brand attitudes and purchase intentions are reduced after they are being provided with the information on negative corporate reputation. This result confirms that negative corporate reputation significantly aggravates consumers’ attitudes and purchase intention. However, the type of reputation is not a decisive factor for consumers’ cognitive processes. The results imply that marketing managers need to manage a negative reputation carefully because negative corporate reputation aggravates consumers’ cognitive process However, consumers are not influenced by specific type of negative information, thus a company can mitigate the negative impact of their negative reputation by another type of positive reputation.
Complete genome sequences of the Serratia plymuthica strains 3Rp8 and 3Re4-18, two rhizosphere bacteria with antagonistic activity towards fungal phytopathogens and plant growth promoting abilities
Authors: Adam Eveline , Müller Henry , Erlacher Armin , Berg Gabriele
Published: September 2016

The Serratia plymuthica strains 3Rp8 and 3Re4-18 are motile, Gram-negative, non-sporulating bacteria. Strain 3Rp8 was isolated from the rhizosphere of Brassica napus L. and strain 3Re4-18 from the endorhiza of Solanum tuberosum L. Studies have shown in vitro activity against the soil-borne fungi Verticillium dahliae Kleb., Rhizoctonia solani Kühn, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Here, we announce and describe the complete genome sequence of S. plymuthica 3Rp8 consisting of a single circular chromosome of 5.5 Mb that encodes 4954 protein-coding and 108 RNA-only encoding genes and of S. plymuthica 3Re4-18 consisting of a single circular chromosome of 5.4 Mb that encodes 4845 protein-coding and 109 RNA-only encoding genes. The whole genome sequences and annotations are available in NCBI under the locus numbers CP012096 and CP012097, respectively. The genome analyses revealed genes putatively responsible for the promising plant growth promoting and biocontrol properties including predicting factors such as secretion systems, iron scavenging siderophores, chitinases, secreted proteases, glucanases and non-ribosomal peptide synthetases, as well as unique genomic islands.
The association between borderline personality disorder, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome: systematic review
Authors: Penfold Sarah , Denis Emily St. , Mazhar Mir Nadeem
Published: September 2016

Background

Overlap of aetiological factors and demographic characteristics with clinical observations of comorbidity has been documented in fibromyalgia syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Aims

The purpose of this study was to assess the association of BPD with fibromyalgia syndrome and CFS. The authors reviewed literature on the prevalence of BPD in patients with fibromyalgia or CFS and vice versa.

Methods

A search of five databases yielded six eligible studies. A hand search and contact with experts yielded two additional studies. We extracted information pertaining to study setting and design, demographic information, diagnostic criteria and prevalence.

Results

We did not identify any studies that specifically assessed the prevalence of fibromyalgia or CFS in patients with BPD. Three studies assessed the prevalence of BPD in fibromyalgia patients and reported prevalence of 1.0, 5.25 and 16.7%. Five studies assessed BPD in CFS patients and reported prevalence of 3.03, 1.8, 2.0, 6.5 and 17%.

Conclusions

More research is required to clarify possible associations between BPD, fibromyalgia and CFS.
A Natural History of Modernity: Bernhard Grzimek and the Globalization of EnvironmentalKulturkritik
Authors: Lekan Thomas
Published: September 2016

This article explores the doomsday vision of humans and other animals found in the nonfiction books, documentary films, and autobiography of former Frankfurt Zoological Garden director and television star Bernhard Grzimek. Focusing on his career transition in the 1940s and 1950s from veterinarian to zoological director to global conservation activist, the article shows that the Malthusian fears that underpinned Grzimek's plea for national parks in sub-Saharan Africa that segregated people and wildlife had their origins in an environmental Kulturkritik born of post-Nazi and Cold War ruminations about human aggression and environmental destruction. Grzimek portrayed both the zoo and the national park as compensation for a “great extinction” that linked the industrialized slaughterhouse in Europe to trophy hunting in Africa. This natural history of modernity envisioned a global nature commons beyond the ideologies of Christian humanism and social democracy, yet it enfolded Africans into a European narrative of development that left no room for cultural landscapes created by customary tenure and vernacular ecologies.
Of Mice and Men and Aquatic Flows: Distributed Agency in Theodor Storm'sDer Schimmelreiter
Authors: Rigby Kate
Published: September 2016

Theodor Storm's novella Der Schimmelreiter is set in northwestern Germany, a region with a long history of dyke building and coastal flooding. Drawing on insights into material agency, complexity, and the entwinement of materiality and discourse that have emerged from science studies, I read this text as an exploration of distributed agency that challenges humanist assumptions about both “man” and “nature” by disclosing the limits of rational human mastery in the face of unruly natural phenomena, both “inner” and “outer.” At the same time, the multiple narrative frames of this tragic tale foreground the ineluctable force of viewpoint in any narrative performance of ecocatastrophe. As such, it exemplifies how narrative fiction can provide an imaginative space of reflection to investigate both the complex causality of hybrid natural-cultural disasters and different modalities of human responses to them.
Flight mechanics and control of escape manoeuvres in hummingbirds II. Aerodynamic force production, flight control and performance limitations

Published: September 2016

The superior manoeuvrability of hummingbirds emerges from complex interactions of specialized neural and physiological processes with the unique flight dynamics of flapping wings. Escape manoeuvring is an ecologically relevant, natural behaviour of hummingbirds, from which we can gain understanding into the functional limits of vertebrate locomotor capacity. Here, we extend our kinematic analysis of escape manoeuvres from a companion paper to assess two potential limiting factors of manoeuvring performance of hummingbirds 1) muscle mechanical power output and 2) delays in the neural sensing and control system. We focused on the magnificent hummingbird, (Eugenes fulgens, 7.8g) and black-chinned hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri, 3.1 g), which represent large and small species, respectively. We first estimated the aerodynamic forces, moments and the mechanical power of escape manoeuvres using measured wing kinematics. Comparing active-manoeuvring and passive-damping aerodynamic moments, we found that pitch dynamics were lightly damped and dominated by effect of inertia while roll dynamics were highly damped. To achieve observed closed-loop performance, pitch manoeuvres required faster sensorimotor transduction, as hummingbirds can only tolerate half the delay allowed in roll manoeuvres. Accordingly, our results suggested that pitch control may require a more sophisticated control strategy, such as those based on prediction. For the magnificent hummingbird, we estimated escape manoeuvres required muscle mass-specific power 4.5 times that during hovering. Therefore, in addition to the limitation imposed by sensorimotor delays, muscle power could also limit the performance of escape manoeuvres.
A social mechanism facilitates ant colony emigrations over different distances

Published: September 2016

Behavioural responses enable animals to react rapidly to fluctuating environments. In eusocial organisms, such changes are often enacted at the group level, but may be organised in a decentralised fashion by the actions of individuals. However, the contributions of different group members are rarely homogenous, and there is evidence to suggest that certain ‘keystone’ individuals are important in shaping collective responses. Accordingly, investigations of the dynamics and structuring of behavioural changes at both the group and individual level, are crucial for evaluating the relative influence of different individuals. Here, we examine the composition of tandem running behaviour during colony emigrations in the ant species Temnothorax albipennis. Tandem running is modulated in response to emigration distance, with more runs being conducted when a more distant nest site must be reached. We show that certain individuals are highly active in the tandem running process, attempting significantly more work in the task. Contrary to expectations, however, such individuals are in fact no more successful at conducting tandem runs than their less active nest mates. Instead, it seems that when more tandem runs are required, colonies rely on greater recruitment of workers into the process. The implications of our study are that in some cases, even when apparently ‘key’ individuals exist within a group, their relative contribution to task performance may be far from decisive.
Evaluation of unique identifiers used as keys to match identical publications in Pure and SciVal – a case study from health science
Authors: Madsen Heidi Holst , Madsen Dicte , Gauffriau Marianne
Published: September 2016

Unique identifiers (UID) are seen as an effective key to match identical publications across databases or identify duplicates in a database. The objective of the present study is to investigate how well UIDs work as match keys in the integration between Pure and SciVal, based on a case with publications from the health sciences. We evaluate the matching process based on information about coverage, precision, and characteristics of publications matched versus not matched with UIDs as the match keys. We analyze this information to detect errors, if any, in the matching process. As an example we also briefly discuss how publication sets formed by using UIDs as the match keys may affect the bibliometric indicators number of publications, number of citations, and the average number of citations per publication. 

The objective is addressed in a literature review and a case study. The literature review shows that only a few studies evaluate how well UIDs work as a match key. From the literature we identify four error types: Duplicate digital object identifiers (DOI), incorrect DOIs in reference lists and databases, DOIs not registered by the database where a bibliometric analysis is performed, and erroneous optical or special character recognition.

The case study explores the use of UIDs in the integration between the databases Pure and SciVal. Specifically journal publications in English are matched between the two databases. We find all error types except erroneous optical or special character recognition in our publication sets. In particular the duplicate DOIs constitute a problem for the calculation of bibliometric indicators as both keeping the duplicates to improve the reliability of citation counts and deleting them to improve the reliability of publication counts will distort the calculation of average number of citations per publication.

The use of UIDs as a match key in citation linking is implemented in many settings, and the availability of UIDs may become critical for the inclusion of a publication or a database in a bibliometric analysis.
Recent advances in understanding vitiligo
Authors: Manga Prashiela , Elbuluk Nada , Orlow Seth J.
Published: September 2016

Vitiligo, an acquired depigmentation disorder, manifests as white macules on the skin and can cause significant psychological stress and stigmatization. Recent advances have shed light on key components that drive disease onset and progression as well as therapeutic approaches. Vitiligo can be triggered by stress to the melanin pigment-producing cells of the skin, the melanocytes. The triggers, which range from sunburn to mechanical trauma and chemical exposures, ultimately cause an autoimmune response that targets melanocytes, driving progressive skin depigmentation. The most significant progress in our understanding of disease etiology has been made on three fronts: (1) identifying cellular responses to stress, including antioxidant pathways and the unfolded protein response (UPR), as key players in disease onset, (2) characterizing immune responses that target melanocytes and drive disease progression, and (3) identifying major susceptibility genes. The current model for vitiligo pathogenesis postulates that oxidative stress causes cellular disruptions, including interruption of protein maturation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), leading to the activation of the UPR and expression of UPR-regulated chemokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-8. These chemokines recruit immune components to the skin, causing melanocytes to be targeted for destruction. Oxidative stress can further increase melanocyte targeting by promoting antigen presentation. Two key components of the autoimmune response that promote disease progression are the interferon (IFN)-γ/CXCL10 axis and IL-17-mediated responses. Several genome-wide association studies support a role for these pathways, with the antioxidant geneNRF2, UPR geneXBP1, and numerous immune-related genes including class I and class II major histocompatibility genes associated with a risk for developing vitiligo. Novel approaches to promote repigmentation in vitiligo are being investigated and may yield effective, long-lasting therapies.
SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ASPECTS OF FREE INDEPENDENT TOURISM
Authors: Рябова Татьяна , Ryabova Tatyana , Эртман Елена , Ertman Elena
Published: September 2016

According to the main changes which take place in the field of organization of tourism nowadays, the free

independent tourism should be considered as one of the most perspective directions of development not only

of touristic area but also of area of hospitality, culture and leisure. Because of active development of free

independent tourism the following positions have a special significance: the substantiation of methodological

approaches to definite its essence; to study of backgrounds of becoming and development of this kind of tourism

in Russia and abroad; to study not only the social and cultural aspects of free independent tourism as a

popular kind of personal activity in leisure but also to disclose its specific features. The disclosing of essence

and specifics of free independent tourism is very productive, at least, in two areas. On the one side, the free

independent tourism represents the dynamics of consumer behavior in the changing economic conditions and

leads to the greater independence from the touristic firms. On the other side, this kind of touristic activity has to

be considered not only in the system of forms and directions of human leisure activity, but also as an instrument

of satisfaction of wide spectrum of leisure needs and personal interest, and as a method of its enculturation.

The characterization of basic features of free independent tourism, the definition of its essence and function

in the context of social and cultural human activity disclose the new perspectives for all-round systemic study

of conditions of functioning of this kind of tourism and its further development. The free independent tourism

will evolve steadily and rapidly as one of kind of leisure industry, which is directed to satisfy and to develop the

personal needs for spiritual and cultural development, cognition, communication and recreation. The social

and cultural content is a qualitative characteristic of free independent tourism and the most important method

which allows joining the tourists with culture, to develop and to generate their new spiritual needs.
ACTUAL PROBLEMS OF CONFORMITY OF THE RUSSIAN TRANSPORT COMPLEX DEVELOPMENT WITH MODERN REQUIREMENTS OF THE TOURISM INDUSTRY
Authors: Аникин Евгений , Anikin Evgeniy
Published: September 2016

The article is devoted to problems of interaction and interdependence of the transport complex of Russia and the tourism industry. The article transport system of Russia is considered as one of the key factors in the de- velopment of the tourism industry of the country. In this context, formulated the hypothesis that the control of the formation of the transport complex with the needs of the tourism industry could have a beneficial impact on tourism in general, to ensure the accessibility of new tourist destinations, to promote new forms of tourism and contribute to the development of social and economic spheres of the country. The main problem formu- lated in the article, is the disparity between the development and functioning of transport industry and tourism industry, which is unacceptable in the case of seeking to modernize the economy of the country and effective development of non-manufacturing and service sectors. To confirm the hypothesis there was the analysis of the current research devoted to the interaction between transport sector and the tourism industry. There was used the statistical analysis of the Russian passenger and cargo traffic by mode of transport for the period 1970–2014. In the end, there were made offers to improve the interaction between the transport sector and the tourist industry, the main of which are the following. The main efforts at low level of development of transport and tourist sectors should be aimed at the development of transport complex of the country. For the effective development of a transport complex it is necessary to organize close cooperation within transport and tour- ism areas, development of interaction between public and private control structures. The development of the transport complex through the formation of demand from tourism organizations for transportation services is inefficient, as a major role in the income formation of transport plays a factor in the passenger traffic, which depends primarily on the level of income.
ADVANTAGES OF USING DYNAMIC PACKAGING OF TOURS FOR INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS
Authors: Стахова Людмила , Stakhova Lyudmila
Published: September 2016

The article is devoted to research on new trends for the Russian market of tourism, dynamic packaging of tours. The dynamic packaging of tours refers to the formation of tours in real time on the same site under the request of a particular user with the updating of prices and places. In contemporary science the concept of dynamic packaging is not designed and is not adequately reflected in the writings of scientists, despite the fact that in the period of crisis and changes of the business models of interactions on the tourism market, innovative forms of relations can have a positive impact as on individual entrepreneurs, as on the industry as a whole. Based on the foregoing, the main objective of the study is the analysis of the applications of dynamic packaging in the Russian tourist activities. On the basis of this analysis there have been identified four types of companies that use the dynamic packaging of tours on the Russian market: 1) companies which use dynamic packaging to extend the range of their services, 2) companies which use dynamic packaging as a basis for their activities: foreign tour operators which work entirely online and for which dynamic packaging is the tool of activities, and finally, global distribution systems, which due to their powerful platform of online booking, use the dynamic packaging of tours to attract new customers and increase sales. The article concludes about the benefits of dynamic packaging in the modern Russian conditions for business and consumers, and the industry as a whole.
«AVANGRAD»: VOLGOGRAD PERESTROIKA AND POST-SOVIET PERFORMANCE (1986–2005)
Authors: Вальковский Антон , Valkovskiy Anton
Published: September 2016

The article aims to reconstruct systematically the history of the Volgograd performance, trace the lineage and interferences, the role of the major art-festivals in the emergence of new generations of artists, as well as to disclose variability of procedural art-practices in Volgograd from 1986 to 2005. Summing up the performance review of the Volgograd two decades (mid-1980s to mid-2000s), the author notes that it was not a coher- ent movement or systematic process, and was not institutionalized due to the lack of a system of commercial galleries, inspiring artistic process in Moscow and St. Petersburg. A gradual attenuation of the Square as a social and cultural education and place of attraction for artists, localized in the heart of the city, caused a gradual centrifugal movement towards the outlying, uninhabited, abandoned spaces and places of pilgrimage (the graveyard of ships, Krasnoslobodskaya kosa, Moratnike), which was associated with their romanticize, aestheticization, by a certain opacity. However, throughout the period under review we can identify several General trends: the desire of artists to theatrical, carnival, spectacularity, as well as spontaneous and impro- vised action.
Using Platforms to Pursue Strategic Opportunities in Service-Driven Manufacturing
Authors: Eloranta Ville , Orkoneva Lauri , Hakanen Esko , Turunen Taija
Published: September 2016

Strategy research posits that in dynamic environments, firms must base their strategies not on leveraging the past, but on fostering constant change. This research explores how platforms can be used as semistructures to pursue strategic opportunities in manufacturers’ service networks. A platform strategy combining product and organization approaches is identified at the interfirm level. The results show that platforms are perceived to extend the physical product’s capacity to produce new usage scenarios, facilitate interfirm information flows and enable collective benefits, and create awareness of new value potentials. The study calls for more research regarding a systemic approach to solution business.

Formerly existing graph mining algorithms regularly accept that database is generally static. To defeat that we proposed another algorithm which manages extensive database including the components which catches the properties of the graph in a couple of parameters and check the relationship among them in both left and additionally right course, in this way embracing DFS and in addition BFS approach. It furthermore discovers the subgraph by traversing the graph and removing the planned routine. The proposed calculation is utilized for identification of wrongdoing as a part of BANK & Financial organization by catching the properties and distinguishing the relationship and affiliations that may exist between the individual required in that wrongdoing which keep a few violations that may happen in future. We have utilized the Neo-ECLIPSE for the execution of proposed calculation and Neo4j is the graph database utilized for evaluation.

Healthy children aged 6-23 months atthe time of interview were selected. The questionnaire wasspecially developed for determining the risks of IDA. We tookblood sampling to measure the hemoglobin concentration.Results A total of 86 children participated in the study; but only dataof 78 children were available for analysis. The prevalence of anemiaamong those children was 35%. Most children (90%) consumedanimal protein inadequately. Rice-based diet was the main meal ofmost children (97%). Analysis of possible factors associated with theanemia showed that inadequate plant or animal protein consumption,wasted children, less than 2 orange consumption, not consumingiron fortified formula/cereal had OR 1.2 (95%CI 0.40; 3.61), 4.13(95%CI 0.48;35.45), 4.67 (95%CI 1.04;20.04), 6.25 (95% CI1.32;29.55) and 3.15 (95%CI 1.18;8.41), respectively. Logistic analysisrevealed that the factors associated with anemia were wasted children(OR 9.10, 95%CI 1.38;60.18), low or no orange consumption (OR7.86, 95%CI 1.36;45.40) and not consuming iron fortified formula/cereal (OR 3.01, 95%CI 1.02;8.90).Conclusion In children with rice-based diet as main meal,consuming orange as an enhancing factor should also be addressedin order to prevent anemia.
