BACKGROUND

Inpatient hospital stays account for more than a third of direct medical cancer care costs. Evidence on factors driving these costs can inform planning of services, as well as consideration of equity in access.

OBJECTIVE

To measure the association between hospital costs, and demographic, clinical, and system factors, for a cohort of adults with advanced cancer.

DESIGN

Prospective multisite cohort study.

SETTING

Four medical and cancer centers.

PATIENTS

Adults with advanced cancer admitted to a participating hospital between 2007 and 2011, excluding those with dementia. Final analytic sample included 1020 patients.

METHODS

With receipt of palliative care controlled for, the associations between hospital cost and patient factors were estimated. Factors covered the domains of demographics (age, sex, race), socioeconomics and systems (education, insurance, living will, proxy), clinical care (diagnoses, complications deemed to pose a threat to life or bodily functions, comorbidities, symptom burden, activities of daily living), and prior healthcare utilization (home help, analgesic prescribing).

OUTCOME MEASURE

Direct hospital costs.

RESULTS

A major (markedly abnormal) complication (+$8267; P < 0.01), a minor but not a major complication (+$5289; P < 0.01), and number of comorbidities (+$852; P < 0.01) were associated with higher cost, and admitting diagnosis of electrolyte disorders (–$4759; P = 0.01) and increased age (–$53; P = 0.03) were associated with lower cost.

CONCLUSIONS

Complications and comorbidity burden drive inhospital utilization for adults with advanced cancer. There is little evidence of sociodemographic associations and no apparent impact of advance directives. Attempts to control growth of hospital cancer costs require consideration of how the most resource‐intensive patients are identified promptly and prioritized for cost‐effective care.

The “Things We Do for No Reason” series reviews practices which have become common parts of hospital care but which may provide little value to our patients. Practices reviewed in the TWDFNR series do not represent “black and white” conclusions or clinical practice standards, but are meant as a starting place for research and active discussions among hospitalists and patients. We invite you to be part of that discussion.

How Can We Develop Contextualized Theories of Effective Use? A Demonstration in the Context of Community-Care Electronic Health Records
Authors: Burton-Jones Andrew , Volkoff Olga
Published: June 2017

We contribute to the shifting discourse in the literature on information system use, towards context-specific (rather than general) theories and effective use (rather than just use). Organizations are under great pressure to use information systems effectively but they have few theories to turn to for insights. Motivated by this need, we propose an approach for developing context-specific theories of effective use. The approach suggests that effective use can be theorized by: (1) understanding how a network of affordances supports the achievement of organizational goals, (2) understanding how the affordances are actualized, and (3) using inductive theorizing to elaborate these principles in a given context. We demonstrate the approach in the context of a Canadian health authority’s use of a community-care electronic healthcare record (EHR). We discovered that effective use in this context can be viewed at a high level as the accuracy and consistency with which users work with the EHR, and how they engage in reflection-in-action across a network of nine affordances. The key, however, is understanding how those elements interact with the multiple levels of data needed to achieve the organization’s various goals. Overall, we contribute by offering an approach for developing context-specific theories of effective use, demonstrating its usefulness in an important context, and discovering the importance of understanding in a new way the multilevel nature of information systems.

Published: June 2017

Marketing the inflorescences of Comanthera elegans (Bong.) L.R. Parra & Giul. represents a source of income to many families from extractives communities in the portion of the Espinhaço Range located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Cultivating this species stands out by allying income generation with conservation since the species is currently endangered. This study aimed to assess aspects of the development of C. elegans in three cultivation systems: beds, rows, and whole area. Sowing took place in January 2009 and the inflorescences were harvested in May 2010, which characterized the experimental period. Emergence; plant density; rates of flowering, mortality, resprouting, and recruiting of new individuals; and production of inflorescences per plant and per area were assessed. Emergence began approximately 50 days after sowing. Plant density ranged from 130 to 350 plants.m-2 among the three cultivation systems. The highest mortality rate (18%) was observed at the peak of the dry season (August) and the overall mortality rate over one reproductive cycle was 49%. Of the plants that lost the aerial part, 36% resprouted. Sprouting and seed germination accounted for 30 and 3% of the recruiting of new individuals, respectively. C. elegans had two bloom (AprilMay 2009 and April-May 2010): 5.4% of the plants bloomed in the first season and 78%, in the second. Each plant produced between three and 178 inflorescences and the highest inflorescence production in terms of weight (232 g.m-2) and number (2,910 inflorescences.m-2) was observed in the cultivation in beds at 1,624 kg.ha-1.

Published: June 2017

En el trópico, los agricultores son considerados como netos observadores de la naturaleza, conocen muy bien los cambios asociados a la variabilidad climática y aunque la modernidad ha ido modifi cando sus prácticas, ellas siguen íntimamente ligadas a estos ciclos. El objetivo de esta investigación fue tipificar los sistemas de producción agrícola y describir la percepción de la variabilidad climática en territorios rurales de Anzoátegui, Venezuela. Se aplicó el análisis de componentes principales no lineal, análisis de conglomerados y evaluación de tablas de contingencias, mediante 100 encuestas realizadas al azar a productores agrícolas. El estudio mostró la tipifi cación de tres grupos de productores, donde las principales variables discriminadoras son las pertenecientes al componte socio-económico y las variables del componente climático no ejercieron una influencia de peso en la discriminación. Sin embargo, se pudo identificar que todos los agricultoresreconocen el fenómeno de la variabilidad climática y lo perciben como un problema nacional y global que afecta negativamente la actividad económica. Adicionalmente, existe una percepción generalizada sobre la variabilidad climática en los últimos años la cual fue explicada a través de la ocurrencia de fenómenos naturales: sequia meteorológica, excesos de agua y erosión hídrica.

Authors: Cahyaningtyas Susi Retna , Sasanti Elin Erlina , Husnaini Wahidatul
Published: June 2017

The latest Bank Indonesia Regulation No.14/18/PBI/2012 requires bank to have minimum capital of 8%-14% depends on the risk profile of each bank. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to assess whether the total of inherent risk profile of each bank meets the terms of this regulation. In addition, this study aims to examine the impact of inherent risk profile and GCG on the banking company value. The sample in this study is determined by purposive sampling method and resulted in 24 banks or 72 observations during 2011-2013. The results showed that 23 banks had low risk and low to moderate risk, and only one bank had moderate risk. The results also showed that inherent risk profile rating is equivalent to capital adequacy. In other words, inherent risk profile of these banks have complied with Bank Indonesia Regulation No.14/18/PBI/2012. Furthermore, this study indicated that GCG has significant and positive influence on the company value, while the inherent risk has no influence on the company value. Overall, this study suggest that go public banks in Indonesia are one of good alternative means of investment for its soundness as reflected by the fulfillment of minimum capital ratio required by the regulator.

Markov chain approach to availability and profit evaluation of a series-parallel system with minor and major failures
Authors: Bala Saminu I. , Yusuf Ibrahim , Nuhu Yasin Ali
Published: June 2017

The paper deals with modeling and performance evaluation of a series-parallel with independent failures using Markov Birth-Death process and probabilistic approach. The system consists of three subsystems arranged in series and parallel configurations with three possible states, working, reduced capacity and failed. Through the transition diagram, systems of differential equations are developed and solved recursively via probabilistic approach. Failure and repair rates for all the subsystems are assumed constant. Availability and profit matrices for each subsystem have been developed to provide various performance values for different combinations of failure and repair rates of all subsystems. Performance of each subsystem of series-parallel system is evaluated. The present study will help the plant management in understanding the optimum system availability and profit to be achieved, and the maintenance efforts needed to maintain an appropriate level of availability and profit and useful for timely execution of proper maintenance improvement, decision, planning and optimization.
Introduction to the Special Issue: Restructuring and Resisting Education Reforms in Chicago’s Public Schools
Authors: Gutierrez Rhoda Rae , Waitoller Federico R.
Published: June 2017

In this paper, guest editors Gutierrez and Waitoller introduce the special issue, Restructuring and Resisting Education Reforms in Chicago’s Public Schools. As a pioneer of neoliberal education reforms, the city of Chicago and its public school system offers a rich context for critical policy scholarship on the dialectic between education restructuring and community resistance against these reforms. First, the authors contextualize Chicago education reforms within the larger neoliberal project by providing an overview of the policies driving the closures of traditional public schools and expansion of charter schools that the contributors to this special issue examine. The authors also address the co-constitutive nature of race and neoliberalism in education policy, and the disproportionate impact these policies have on low-income communities of color. Next, the authors discuss the significance of this collection of papers for educational policy analysis and call for more research that situates examinations of urban educational reforms in their specific socio-historical, political, and economic contexts. The paper concludes with a summary of the articles included in the special issue.
The discovery of an ancient Maya causeway system in the southern Maya Mountains of Belize
Authors: Abramiuk Marc A.
Published: June 2017

The archaeological site of Quebrada de Oro, southern Belize, is one of four ancient Maya settlement sites, mainly dating to the Classic period (AD 250–900), that are situated in the Bladen Branch drainage of the southern Maya Mountains proper. This remote location has long been taken to imply that the region was a political backwater, but the recent discovery of an ancient Maya causeway system associated with Quebrada de Oro—the first significant example to be documented in this area—sheds new light on this group of Maya sites (Figure 1).

Published: June 2017

This study investigated whether the schema therapy constructs of schema coping and schema modes have val dity in adolescents. We examined the validity and reliability of the Schema Coping Inventory (SCI) and an 80-item version of the Schema Mode Inventory (SMI) in a mixed sample of adolescents. Confirmatory factor analyse showed that the first-order factor structures of the SCI and SMI were replicated, but that the hypothesized higher-order models of the SMI were not confirmed. Instead, we proposed an alternative higher-order model of Internalizing, Externalizing, Overachieving, and Healthy modes. In general, the SCI and SMI scales were able o distinguish the clinical sample from the community sample, and meaningful relationships were found between oping styles, schema modes, and behavior problems. In conclusion, our study supports the theorized relations ips between schema coping styles, schema modes, and behavior, problems in adolescents, and provides initial validation for the SCI and the, 80-item SMI in adolescent populations.
Borderline Personality Disorder Symptoms and Pain in College Students: The Role of Emotional Suppression
Authors: Dixon-Gordon Katherine L. , Berghoff Christopher R. , McDermott Michael J.
Published: June 2017

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with higher rates of pain conditions and greater pain impairment. Past research implicates emotional suppression in acute pain tolerance; thus, emotional suppression may contribute to pain interference among those with high BPD features. Participants were 89 university students who completed measures of BPD features, and complied with 2-week daily diary procedures assessing suppression of emotional thoughts associated with social and nonsocial stressors, distress, pain severity, and interference. Multilevel models revealed a BPD × Suppression × Distress interaction, such that suppression in response to social (but not nonsocial) stressors in the context of high distress was related to pain interference when controlling for pain severity among those with high, but not low, BPD features. These findings suggest. that suppression of emotionally relevant thoughts in response to high distress may contribute to the functional impairment from pain among those with high BPD symptoms.
From Sensory Capacities to Sensible Skills: Experimenting with El Celler de Can Roca
Authors: Ulloa Ana María , Roca Josep , Vilaseca Hèloïse
Published: June 2017

This article describes and discusses an experiment we carried out at El Celler de Can Roca, a vanguard restaurant in Girona, Spain. In this experiment we tested the possibility of characterizing and measuring our team's sensory capacity, arguing that research on the senses within experimental cooking should also include cultivation of sensible knowing. Our findings confirmed that instead of thinking about sensory capacities that reside in the individual alone, we should change our model for one that speaks of sensible skills where the communal is of crucial importance. Throughout our discussion we highlight awareness, imagination, and empathy as three important sensible skills for culinary practice, and make a final point about how such skills can be cultivated and taught to a restaurant's team.
Instruments of Science or Conquest? Neocolonialism and Modern American Astronomy
Authors: Swanner Leandra
Published: June 2017

This essay is indebted to Mary Jo Nye’s scholarship spanning the history and philosophy of the modern physical sciences, particularly her efforts to situate scientists within their social, political, and cultural contexts. Beginning in the second half of the twentieth century, members of the Hawai‘i astronomy community found themselves grappling with opposition to new telescope projects stemming from the rise of environmental and indigenous rights movements. I argue that the debate over the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) can best be understood as an exemplar of “neocolonialist science.” For indigenous groups who object to science on sacred lands, science has effectively become an agent of colonization. As the TMT controversy illustrates, practicing neocolonialist science—even unknowingly—comes at a high cost for all parties involved. Although scientists are understandably reluctant to equate their professional activities with cultural annihilation, dismissing this unflattering neocolonialist image of modern science has both ethical and practical consequences: Native communities continue to report feeling victimized while scientists’ efforts to expand their research programs suffer social, legal, and economic setbacks.

Published: June 2017

OBJECTIVES:

Metformin has shown its effectiveness in treating obesity in adults. However, little research has been conducted in children, with a lack of attention on pubertal status. The objectives were to determine whether oral metformin treatment reduces BMI z score, cardiovascular risk, and inflammation biomarkers in children who are obese depending on pubertal stage and sex.

METHODS:

This was a randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial, stratified according to pubertal stage and sex, conducted at 4 Spanish clinical hospitals. Eighty prepubertal and 80 pubertal nondiabetic children who were obese aged 7 to 14 years with a BMI >95th percentiles were recruited. The intervention included 1 g/d of metformin versus placebo for 6 months. The primary outcome was a reduction in BMI z score. Secondary outcomes comprised insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and inflammation biomarkers.

RESULTS:

A total of 140 children completed the study (72 boys). Metformin decreased the BMI z score versus placebo in the prepubertal group (−0.8 and −0.6, respectively; difference, 0.2; P = .04). Significant increments were observed in prepubertal children treated with metformin versus placebo recipients in the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (0.010 and −0.007; difference, 0.017; P = .01) and the adiponectin–leptin ratio (0.96 and 0.15; difference, 0.81; P = .01) and declines in interferon-γ (−5.6 and 0; difference, 5.6; P = .02) and total plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (−1.7 and 2.4; difference, 4.1; P = .04). No serious adverse effects were reported.

CONCLUSIONS:

Metformin decreased the BMI z score and improved inflammatory and cardiovascular-related obesity parameters in prepubertal children but not in pubertal children. Hence, the differential response according to puberty might be related to the dose of metformin per kilogram of weight. Further investigations are necessary.
Svetlana Aleksiévitch, a Grande Utopia e o cotidiano: testemunhos e memórias do Homo Sovieticus
Authors: Perlatto Fernando
Published: June 2017

Ao longo das últimas décadas, a historiografia brasileira tem dedicado cada vez mais atenção ao estudo da vida cotidiana, valorizando dimensões e aspectos que foram negligenciados pelas pesquisas influenciadas por abordagens estruturalistas. As pesquisas sobre os regimes autoritários no Brasil, particularmente, têm se beneficiado diretamente deste processo de renovação historiográfica, buscando analisar de forma mais complexa as relações entre Estado e sociedade civil, dedicando atenção especial aos homens e mulheres “comuns” e àqueles segmentos sociais que não participaram diretamente dos embates políticos. Em diálogo com a historiografia brasileira dedicada a essa agenda de pesquisa, o presente artigo objetiva analisar a obra da escritora bielorrussa Svetlana Aleksiévitch no sentido de refletir sobre o cotidiano de homens e mulheres “comuns” durante os anos da experiência autoritária da União Soviética. A partir da mobilização de milhares de testemunhos, os livros de Aleksiévitch, que formam o que ela chamou de “Enciclopédia Vermelha”, contribuem para uma melhor compreensão da relação entre os “grandes” acontecimentos que tiveram curso na URSS impulsionados pela “Grande Utopia” socialista no século XX e o cotidiano do Homo Sovieticus.

Abstract:

The author provides an overview of the use of recombinant activated FVII (rFVIIa, Novoseven), which is used over 30 years, based upon international publications and also on some modest own experience. Standard, approved indications (inhibitory cases, Glanzmann thrombasthenia, prophylaxis experience) are in the focus of this paper, emphasizing the specially rapid and efficacious way of Novoseven therapy, drawing attention to excellent safety issues regarding very low immunogenicity along with low number of thrombogenic complications. A careful, cautious and critical evaluation of Novoseven therapy is also provided in rather special forms of critical bleeding conditions considering international recommendations and institutional registry data.

Abstract:

Considerable knowledge has been gathered on the physiological role of estrogens. However, fairly little information is available on the role of compounds produced in the breakdown process of estrone and estradiol wich may play a role in various diseases associated with estrogen impact. To date, approximately 15 extragonadal estrogen-related compounds have been identified. These metabolites may exert protective, or, instead, pro-inflammatory and/or pro-oncogenic activity in a tissue-specific manner. Systemic and local estrogen metabolite levels are not necesserily correlated, which may promote the diagnostic significance of the locally produced estrogen metabolites in the future. The aim of the present study is a bibliographic review of the extragonadal metabolome in peripheral tissues, and to highlight the role of the peripheral tissue homeostasis of estrogens as well as the non-hormonal biological activity and clinical significance of the estrogen metabolome.

Krisis energi mengharuskan pemerintah untuk mendorong pengembangan dan pemanfaatan energi baru dan terbarukan, termasuk energi yang memanfaatkan arus laut, gelombang laut, pasang surut dan perbedaan suhu air laut. Energi laut mampu menghasilkan listrik yang dapat diakses oleh sektor industri dan rumah tangga perikanan secara luas. Untuk itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara finansial terhadap pengembangan energi laut di Indonesia. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang dikumpulkan selama bulan Maret – November 2012. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis finansial dengan menghitung biaya produksi dan biaya pembangunan pembangkit listrik yang memanfaatkan energi laut. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa jenis energi laut yang bernilai ekonomis adalah energi arus laut dengan biaya sebesar Rp1.268/kWh, energi gelombang laut dengan biaya sebesar Rp1.709/kWh dan enegri pasang surut dengan biaya sebesar Rp 2.048/kWh. Sementara itu, energi yang memanfaatkan perbedaan suhu air laut menunjukkan biaya yang sangat besar, yaitu mencapai Rp. 4.030/kWh. Jika dibandingkan dengan biaya produksi dari listrik konvensional yang dihasilkan PT (Persero) PLN yang sebesar Rp. 1.163/kWh maka pengembangan energi laut disarankan fokus pada energi arus laut, energi gelombang laut dan energi pasang surut.

Perairan rawa banjiran di Sumatera Selatan dikenal dengan Lebak Lebung. Pengelolaannya mengikuti sistem lelang dengan berdasarkan pada kearifan lokal yang disesuaikan dengan keadaan alam. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah menelaah peran lebung sebagai sumber ekonomi bagi nelayan dan menjadi sarana pengelolaan sumber daya ikan khususnya di rawa banjiran Sumatera Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kuantitatif berdasarkan data dan informasi yang diperoleh melalui survei dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lebung memiliki kekhasan dari jenis-jenis ikan yang rata-rata tergolong ikan ekonomis penting dan beberapa diantaranya adalah gabus (Channa striata), tembakang (Helostoma temminckii) dan sepat siam (Trichogaster pectoralis). Selain itu, lebung juga berperan dalam meningkatkan pendapatan tambahan nelayan, ini terlihat dari nilai R/C Ratio yang diperoleh pada tahun 2009 sebesar 2,45 dan pada tahun 2010 meningkat menjadi 4,04. Hal ini mengindikasikan pengaruh positif keberadaan lebung terhadap sumber ekonomi masyarakat. Dilihat dari segi eksistensi pengelolaannya, keberadaan lebung harus tetap dijaga dengan sistem lelang yang selama ini dilakukan oleh masyarakat. Diharapkan dengan pola pengelolaan yang bijak dan bertanggung jawab, eksistensi lebung dapat terpelihara secara berkesinambungan.
ANALISIS DAYA SAING KOMODITAS IKAN LELE KABUPATEN BOGOR

Nilai daya saya saing suatu produk merupakan gambaran kemampuan suatu komoditas untuk berkompetisi di pasar. Setiap komoditas yang dijual di pasar, secara natural tentunya harus berdaya saing, baik dibandingkan dengan komoditas sejenis maupun komoditas substitusinya. Ikan lele merupakan salah satu komoditas unggulan bagi program Minapolitan di Kabupaten Bogor, sehingga memiliki nilai strategis bagi pemangku kebijakan di sektor Kelautan dan Perikanan. Hingga saat ini, kajian mikro usaha budidaya ikan lele telah banyak dilakukan, namun analisis daya saing komoditas ini masih terbatas. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis daya saing komoditas ikan lele Kabupaten Bogor, menggunakan metode Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). Lokasi pengumpulan data dilakukan di Kabupaten Bogor, serta Kabupaten Tulungagung – sebagai pesaing utama – untuk melihat nilai ekonomi (harga sosial) dari komoditas lele. Hasil analisis menunjukkan nilai Private Costs Ratio (PCR) sebesar 0,43, Domestic Resource Costs Ratio (DRC) sebesar 0,14, Nominal Protection Coefficient on Tradables Inputs (NPCI) sebesar 1,20 dan Nominal Protection Coefficient on Tradables Inputs (NPCI) sebesar 1,15. Keempat angka tersebut merupakan indikator dari rendahnya daya saing komoditas Lele di Kabupaten Bogor dibandingkan komoditas saingannya yang berasal dari Tulungagung. Dari hasil analisis tersebut, untuk meningkatkan daya saing komoditas ikan lele Kabupaten Bogor maka sangat diperlukan sebuah program peningkatan ketersediaan pakan yang disertai dengan program stabilisasi harga berbagai input produksi.
