Published: August 2017

The transformation of the bureaucracy into a necessity. One way transformation of the bureaucracy in the public service is the application of information and communications technology (ICT) in the public service. Information Communication Technology innitiative and application in local govern-ment should transform local government bureaucracy in public service. In Bantul, however, ICT in-nitiative and application has not successfully transformed local government bureaucracy in public service. This study will assessed on the impact of ICT innitiative and application on the bureaucracy transformation in public service. The mix research method is choosen in order to answer and analy-sis the phenomena in depht. The research found that the influence of the ICT’s innitiative on the bureaucracy transformation in the Bantul District is only 18 %. The low effect of the implementa-tion of the system of ICT in those cities is affected by strong patronage culture, the hierarchical organizational structure and centralized regulation on local government structure, low capacity e-leadership of middle range leader, and no delegation from top leader to middle management.Transformasi birokrasi menjadi keharusan.

Strategies to Enhance Implementation of Infrastructure Asset Management in Developing Countries
Authors: Beitelmal Wesam H. , Molenaar Keith R. , Javernick-Will Amy , Smadi Omar
Published: August 2017

Infrastructure around the world is deteriorating, particularly in developing countries, where systems for managing infrastructure assets are immature or nonexistent. Because of successful implementation of infrastructure asset management in developed countries, there are promising approaches to address the difficulties faced by developing countries’ infrastructure organizations and their managers. This paper presents an infrastructure asset management organizational model to help decision makers in developing countries explore the impact of various strategies on the organization’s performance in a variety of external conditions. These decisions will support managers in implementing infrastructure asset management in their organizations. The researchers first categorized countries into three classes according to external conditions: supportive, intermediate, or unsupportive environments. Then a cross-impact analysis model was applied to simulate the impacts of strategy alternatives, drivers, and processes on outcome measurements, given this variety of external conditions. The findings show that organizations in each class should focus on implementing a specific strategy correlating to the external variable’s conditions. For instance, organizations that work in an intermediate environment should build a strong communication networking strategy before investing in organizational support or organizational structure strategies.
Expanding the Uses of Truck GPS Data in Freight Modeling and Planning Activities
Authors: Camargo Pedro , Hong Shuyao , Livshits Vladimir
Published: August 2017

Progress in practical applications of large, passively collected data sets is often hindered by the lack of appropriate analytical tools or the proprietary nature of applicable software. One of the most widely used data sources in the United States is truck GPS data that are commercially available from a few sources nationwide. Although many large GPS data sets are used in the development of tour-based truck models, the development of a fairly general approach to data analysis and processing that can be readily applied to various GPS data sets without need of proprietary software is still of interest. First, this paper presents a set of tools and techniques used to transform low-frequency truck GPS data available from commercial sources into complete trajectories on the network, that is, sequences of links constituting continuous paths traversed by each truck, with corresponding time stamps on each of the nodes. For this exercise, only open-source software was used, and the algorithm implementation was released as an open-source tool under a business-friendly license. Second, use of the truck GPS data was expanded beyond the standard extraction of trip matrices and estimation of tour models. Additional applications include select link analysis, time-of-day analysis, and trajectory data visualization.
A Search for Neutrinos from Fast Radio Bursts with IceCube
Authors: Fahey Samuel , Kheirandish Ali , Vandenbroucke Justin , Xu Donglian
Published: August 2017

We present a search for neutrinos in coincidence in time and direction with four fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by the Parkes and Green Bank radio telescopes during the first year of operation of the complete IceCube Neutrino Observatory (2011 May through 2012 May). The neutrino sample consists of 138,322 muon neutrino candidate events, which are dominated by atmospheric neutrinos and atmospheric muons but also contain an astrophysical neutrino component. Considering only neutrinos detected on the same day as each FRB, zero IceCube events were found to be compatible with the FRB directions within the estimated 99% error radius of the neutrino directions. Based on the non-detection, we present the first upper limits on the neutrino fluence from FRBs.
The Eruption of a Small-scale Emerging Flux Rope as the Driver of an M-class Flare and of a Coronal Mass Ejection

Published: August 2017

Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are the most powerful explosions in the Sun. They are major sources of potentially destructive space weather conditions. However, the possible causes of their initiation remain controversial. Using high-resolution data observed by the New Solar Telescope of Big Bear Solar Observaotry, supplemented by Solar Dynamics Observatory observations, we present unusual observations of a small-scale emerging flux rope near a large sunspot, whose eruption produced an M-class flare and a coronal mass ejection. The presence of the small-scale flux rope was indicated by static nonlinear force-free field extrapolation as well as data-driven magnetohydrodynamics modeling of the dynamic evolution of the coronal three-dimensional magnetic field. During the emergence of the flux rope, rotation of satellite sunspots at the footpoints of the flux rope was observed. Meanwhile, the Lorentz force, magnetic energy, vertical current, and transverse fields were increasing during this phase. The free energy from the magnetic flux emergence and twisting magnetic fields is sufficient to power the M-class flare. These observations present, for the first time, the complete process, from the emergence of the small-scale flux rope, to the production of solar eruptions.
Identifying and Responding to Suicide Risk in Schools
Authors: Singer Jonathan B.
Published: August 2017

Schools provide a unique environment in which to identify and respond to youth suicide risk. A comprehensive approach to school-based suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention requires a multilevel systemic plan for screening suicide risk, programs that increase awareness of suicide risk factors and warning signs, access to community-based interventions including psychotherapies and hospitalization, and school-based responses to suicide deaths. Prevention programs with empirical support include the Good Behavior Game for elementary school students and Signs of Suicide for middle and high school students. Once youth have been identified as being at-risk for suicide, either by a peer or an adult, there are three categories of intervention: suicide risk monitoring, outpatient psychotherapy, and hospitalization. After hospitalization, a school re-entry meeting is essential for an affirmative and healthy transition back to school. Identifying and responding to youth suicide risk requires collaboration between school-based mental health professionals and community providers.

Attachment-Based Family Therapy with Suicidal Adolescents: An Overview
Authors: Hunt Quintin , Sandoval-Barrett Jesse , Diamond Guy
Published: August 2017

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in adolescents worldwide. Recent studies have identified familial and relational risk factors for suicide in adolescence. Unfortunately, few family-based treatments have been developed and tested for this challenging population. Attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) is a brief family-based treatment that has been shown to effectively reduce suicide ideation and attempts. Using five treatment tasks, ABFT focuses on reframing the problem to a systemic issue, developing understanding of the system and the depression, and creating corrective attachment experiences. Based on attachment theory, ABFT helps the adolescent and their parent(s) to develop a more secure relationship that will function as a buffer against suicide-related thoughts and behaviors in the future.

Uncovering a Patient's Hidden Method of Choice for Suicide: Insights from the Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (CASE Approach)
Authors: Shea Shawn Christopher
Published: August 2017

Patients with an extremely strong intention to die by suicide may be predisposed to both withhold their method of choice as well as to minimize their intention to act upon that method. The interviewing skills required to uncover such dangerous ideation in patients who are at immediate risk (next 24 hours) or imminent risk (next 72 hours) may be significantly more sophisticated than the skills needed to screen for suicide in patients with mild to moderately severe risk. This article delineates validity techniques from the Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (CASE Approach), a well-recognized interviewing strategy designed to flexibly expand to elicit suicidal ideation, planning, behaviors, and intent from simple screening to uncovering hidden plans and lethal intent. Five interviewing techniques for use with high-risk patients prone to withhold (the behavioral incident, gentle assumption, denial of the specific, the catch-all question, and symptom amplification) are described and illustrated in detail.

Wearable Health Care Ubiquitous System for Stroke Monitoring and Alert
Authors: Silva Allan de Barcelos , Rigo Sandro José , Barbosa Jorge Luis Victoria
Published: August 2017

Research regarding stroke indicates that ensuring a short elapsed time between accident and treatment can be fundamental to allow saving patient's life and avoid future sequels. This paper describes a model for monitoring and rescuing victims in situations of possible stroke occurrence. It uses stroke symptoms that can be monitored by mobile equipment, ambient intelligence, and artificial neural networks. The model is independent of human operation and applications or third party devices, therefore adding facilities to increase the quality of life for people with stroke sequel, due to constant monitoring and follow-up provided, allowing the stroke patient to consider a recovery period with greater autonomy. A prototype based on free software platforms was developed, to assess the accuracy and the time elapsed between the prototype to detect and to send an alert. The results indicate a positive outcome for the work continuity.
Susceptibility of armywormSpodoptera litura(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to novel insecticides in Pakistan
Authors: Ahmad Mushtaq , Gull Sanobar
Published: August 2017

The armywormSpodoptera litura(Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a serious pest of cotton (Gossypium hirsutumLinnaeus; Malvaceae), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacumLinnaeus; Solanaceae), and vegetables. Frequent application of various insecticides applied for its control has resulted in the development of a multiple resistance against commonly used insecticides. In the current study, field populations ofS. liturawere monitored in Pakistan for their susceptibility to diverse chemical classes, namely insect growth regulators (chlorfluazuron, lufenuron, flufenoxuron, triflumuron, methoxyfenozide), diamides (chlorantraniliprole, flubendiamide), spinosyns (spinosad, spinetoram), avermectins (abamectin, emamectin benzoate), indoxacarb, and thiocyclam by using a diet overlay bioassay during 2008–2013. Generally, no or a very low resistance was recorded to chlorfluazuron, lufenuron, triflumuron, methoxyfenozide, chlorantraniliprole, flubendiamide, spinosad, spinetoram, emamectin benzoate, indoxacarb, and thiocyclam. Resistance to flufenoxuron and abamectin was low to moderate in some populations ofS. litura. The insecticides, showing no, very low, or low resistance can be used in rotation, along with other integrated pest management practices, to mitigate resistance to conventional as well as new chemistry insecticides inS. litura.
Diversity and distributional pattern of soil microarthropods (Protura) across a transitional zone in Ukraine
Authors: Shrubovych Julia , Sterzyńska Maria
Published: August 2017

The biodiversity of transitional zones is unique, due to mixing and co-occurrence of biotic elements. Despite this, our basic knowledge on distributional patterns of soil microarthropods in areas where biogeographic regions overlap is insufficient. We studied the biogeographic patterns of Protura across three natural landforms in Ukraine within the Transcarpathia (Transcarpathian Lowland, Transcarpathian foothills, and Volcanic Ukrainian Carpathian), which are influenced by adjacent biogeographic areas (mainly Alpine and Pannonian). We hypothesised that these overlaps have brought about an increase in Protura diversity, due to inclusion of faunal elements from diverse origins and differing in geographical histories. Distinct differences in the species composition of Protura were found among lowland, foothill, and mountain sites within Transcarpathia. Mountain sites mainly have Protura species with a wide continental distribution, while species of the foothills mainly stem from the Pannonian biogeographic region. The highest number of proturan endemics was associated with the Transcarpathian foothills. We conclude that the Transcarpathian region can be defined as a biogeographical transition zone for soil microarthopods, exemplified by Protura, and that foothill sites such as the volcanic-tectonic mountain Chorna Hora is a local hotspot of diversity and endemism, representing the most valuable parts of Transcarpathia with respect to diversity and endemism.
Aligning mathematics with tutoring platform topics
Authors: Haskins Bertram , Botha Reinhardt A.
Published: August 2017

Dr Math was a mobile mathematics tutoring service, used by school learners across South Africa. The wealth of historic data available, with regard to the conversations between tutors and learners, may contain valuable insights as to which mathematics topics are most frequently encountered on the Dr Math service. This alignment may serve as an indicator of the utility of an online tutorial service as a reflection of the curriculum covered by learners, and as an extra avenue of support. This study makes use of automated means to rank the topics discussed on the Dr Math service and to align them with the topics encountered in the South African National Senior Certificate final examinations. The study finds that there is a close alignment with regard to the observations of the Department of Basic Education on factors influencing the performance of the learners. The topics most frequently discussed on the Dr Math service also align closely with the topics with which the learners have most difficulty in their final exams.
Categorified duality in Boij–Söderberg theory and invariants of free complexes
Authors: Eisenbud David , Erman Daniel
Published: August 2017

We present a robust categorical foundation for the duality theory introduced by Eisenbud and Schreyer to prove the Boij–Söderberg conjectures describing numerical invariants of syzygies. The new foundation allows us to extend the reach of the theory substantially.

More explicitly, we construct a pairing between derived categories that simultaneously categorifies all the functionals used by Eisenbud and Schreyer. With this new tool, we describe the cone of Betti tables of finite, minimal free complexes having homology modules of specified dimensions over a polynomial ring, and we treat many examples beyond polynomial rings. We also construct an analogue of our pairing between derived categories on a toric variety, yielding toric/multigraded analogues of the Eisenbud–Schreyer functionals.
Flip-graph moduli spaces of filling surfaces
Authors: Parlier Hugo , Pournin Lionel
Published: August 2017

This paper is about the geometry of the flip-graphs associated to triangulations of surfaces. More precisely, we consider a topological surface with a privileged boundary curve and study the space of its triangulations with n vertices on this curve. The surfaces we consider topologically fill this boundary curve, so we call them filling surfaces. The associated flip-graphs are infinite whenever the mapping class group of the surface (the group of self-homeomorphisms up to isotopy) is infinite, and we can obtain moduli spaces of flip-graphs by considering these graphs up to the action of the mapping class group. This always results in finite graphs, which we call modular flip-graphs. Our main focus is on the diameter growth of these graphs as n increases. We obtain general estimates that hold for filling surfaces of any topological type. We find more precise estimates for certain families of filling surfaces and obtain asymptotic growth results for several of them. In particular, we find the exact diameter of modular flip-graphs when the filling surface is a cylinder with a single vertex on the non-privileged boundary curve.
A Checklist to Help Faculty Assess ACGME Milestones in a Video-Recorded OSCE
Authors: Easdown L. Jane , Wakefield Marsha L. , Shotwell Matthew S. , Sandison Michael R.
Published: August 2017

Background 

Faculty members need to assess resident performance using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Milestones.

Objective 

In this randomized study we used an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) around the disclosure of an adverse event to determine whether use of a checklist improved the quality of milestone assessments by faculty.

Methods 

In 2013, a total of 20 anesthesiology faculty members from 3 institutions were randomized to 2 groups to assess 5 videos of trainees demonstrating advancing levels of competency on the OSCE. One group used milestones alone, and the other used milestones plus a 13-item checklist with behavioral anchors based on ideal performance. We classified faculty ratings as either correct or incorrect with regard to the competency level demonstrated in each video, and then used logistic regression analysis to assess the effect of checklist use on the odds of correct classification.

Results 

Thirteen of 20 faculty members rated assessing performance using milestones alone as difficult or very difficult. Checklist use was associated with significantly greater odds of correct classification at entry level (odds ratio [OR] = 9.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.0–21.2) and at junior level (OR = 2.7, 95% CI 1.3–5.7) performance. For performance at other competency levels checklist use did not affect the odds of correct classification.

Conclusions 

A majority of anesthesiology faculty members reported difficulty with assessing a videotaped OSCE of error disclosure using milestones as primary assessment tools. Use of the checklist assisted in correct assessments at the entry and junior levels.
