[Dytiscidae (Coleoptera) of Gabon (10th part): addenda and corrigenda]
Authors: Bilardo Armando , Rocchi Saverio
Published: June 2016

The paper deals with some additions and corrections of preceding works on Coleoptera Hydradephaga from Gabon, and a rectification of «A revision and synopsis of the African species of the genus Copelatus Erichson, 1832. The group erichsonii, subgroup atrosulcatus (Coleoptera Dytiscidae)» (Bilardo & Rocchi, 2015). Three new species of diving beetles are described, namely: Hydrovatus batekensis n. sp. of the villiersi group, close to H. niger Gschwendtner, 1938 and Hydrovatus bistroemi n. sp. of the oblongipennis group, close to H. lintrarius Guignot, 1958 and H. omentatus Guignot, 1950; both new species are principally distinguishable by the shape of aedeagus. The third new species is Copelatus terzanii n. sp. of the irinus group (subgroup assimilis) close to C. efoutensis Bilardo & Rocchi, 1995 and C. curtistriatus Bilardo & Rocchi, 1995; also that new species is distinguishable above all by the shape of aedeagus. The male of Yola marginata Biström, 1983, unknown up to now, is described. The second record from Gabon of Copelatus mvoungensis Bilardo & Rocchi, 2004 is reported. The following synonymies are proposed: Copelatus apuzzoi Bilardo & Rocchi, 1999 = C. pederzanii Bilardo & Rocchi, 1995 and Copelatus assimilis incristatus Bilardo & Rocchi, 2002 = Copelatus assimilis Régimbart, 1895. The paper Bilardo & Rocchi (2015) contains a misleading phrase concerning the subdivision of the subgroups atrosulcatus/vigintistriatus; it was therefore necessary to replace the ambiguous phrase with a correct one. The rectified phrase is reported herewith in French and in English.

Uterine carcinosarcomas (UCS) are rare tumors. Consensus regarding therapeutic management in non-metastatic disease is lacking. This study reports on outcome and predictive factors when using postoperative radiotherapy. We analyzed a retrospective analysis in 124 women treated between 1987-2007 in the framework of the Rare-Cancer-Network. Median follow-up was 27 months. Postoperative pelvic EBRT was administered in 105 women (85%) and 92 patients (74%) received exclusive or additional vaginal brachytherapy. Five-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), cancer specific survival (CSS) and locoregional control (LRC) were 51.6% (95% CI 35-73%), 53.7% (39-71%), 58.6% (38-74%) and 48% (38-67%). Multivariate analysis showed that external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) >50Gy was an independent prognostic factor for better OS (P=0.03), CSS (P=0.02) and LRC (P=0.01). Relative risks (RR) for better OS (P=0.02), DFS (P=0.04) and LRC (P=0.01) were significantly associated with younger age (≤60 years). Higher brachytherapy (BT)-dose (>9Gy) improved DFS (P=0.04) and LRC (P=0.008). We concluded that UCS has high systemic failure rate. Local relapse was reduced by a relative risk factor of over three in all stages of diseases when using higher doses for EBRT and brachytherapy. Postoperative RT was most effective in UCS stage I/II-diseases.
A Rare Case of Exclusively Oncocytic Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma with MAML2 Translocation
Authors: Liao Xiaoyan , Haghighi Parviz , Coffey Charles S. , Xu Xiangdong
Published: June 2016

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the salivary gland. The oncocytic variant of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (OMEC) is rare and a small subset shows exclusive oncocytic morphology. Here we report an OMEC case of the parotid gland in a 74-year-old woman with exclusive oncocytes and rare mucocytes. The oncocytes showed diffuse nuclear positivity with p63 immunostaining. The MAML2 translocation was present, supporting the diagnosis of OMEC. Distinguishing OMEC with exclusive oncocytes from oncocytoma and oncocytic carcinoma can be very challenging for pathologists and is critical for proper clinical management. Our experience suggests that appropriate ancillary studies, especially the MAML2 translocation, may provide the essential evidence in difficult cases. Our literature review shows that the presence of mucocytes in an oncocytic neoplasm might be an important morphologic clue of OMEC.

Published: June 2016

Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumors (PFPs) are rare pathologies with quite wide and variable topographic-morphological features. It is difficult to distinguish PFPs from malignant masses. Treatment can be done by resection of the mass. We reported a young patient's findings about this rare pathology.

Authors: Kruger-Jakins Tina , Saw Melissa , Edries Naila , Parker Romy
Published: June 2016

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions worldwide, affecting the functional abilities of millions of people. Arthroplasty is recommended as a successful treatment option for late-stage OA. However, in South Africa there are extensive waiting lists for OA-related arthroplasty in government hospitals. This has negative consequences for patients having to cope for long periods of time with chronic pain and its impact. Alternative treatment methods in the form of physiotherapy-led exercise and education programmes focusing on pain, disability, self-efficacy, physical function and health-related quality of life have had good impact in populations elsewhere.Objectives: To develop an exercise and education intervention based on the current literature and by doing a field survey in a South African population.Results: A combined educational approach, with a strong focus on the physical aspects of exercise in particular, was adopted for the intervention in order to improve function and manage the disability associated with OA.Conclusion: This paper reports on the process and development of an intervention for use in South Africans with late-stage OA awaiting arthroplasty.Keywords: Hip/knee osteoarthritis, arthroplasty, joint replacement, bio-psychosocial intervention, waiting list, physiotherapy, exercise, education, chronic pain

Published: June 2016

Objective

The aim of our study is to describe the changes in urinary and serum levels of novel biomarkers after gadolinium contrast administration in patients with normal renal function.

Methods

We measured four biomarkers in 28 volunteers: interleukin-18 (IL-18), N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and cystatin C. Urinary and serum samples were collected at 0, 3, and 24 hours following gadolinium administration.

Results

Baseline serum creatinine was 57.8 ± 34.5 μmol/L and remained stable. Urinary IL-18 levels increased significantly at three hours (10.7 vs. 7.3 ng/mg creatinine; P < 0.05). Similarly, urinary NAG levels increased significantly at three hours (3.9 vs. 2.2 IU/mg creatinine; P < 0.001). For both these markers, the difference was no longer significant at 24 hours. No statistically significant differences were observed for urinary and serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels and for serum cystatin C levels.

Conclusions

Urinary IL-18 and NAG levels increased transiently after administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents in patients with normal renal function.

Environmental enteropathy (EE), a subclinical intestinal disorder characterized by mucosal inflammation, reduced barrier integrity, and malabsorption, appears to be associated with increased risk of stunting in children in low- and middle-income countries. Fecal biomarkers indicative of EE (neopterin [NEO], myeloperoxidase [MPO], and alpha-1-antitrypsin [AAT]) have been negatively associated with 6-month linear growth. Associations between fecal markers (NEO, MPO, and AAT) and short-term linear growth were examined in a birth cohort of 246 children in Bangladesh. Marker concentrations were categorized in stool samples based on their distribution (< first quartile, interquartile range, > third quartile), and a 10-point composite EE score was calculated. Piecewise linear mixed-effects models were used to examine the association between markers measured quarterly (in months 3–21, 3–9, and 12–21) and 3-month change in length-for-age z-score (ΔLAZ). Children with high MPO levels at quarterly time points lost significantly more LAZ per 3-month period during the second year of life than those with low MPO (ΔLAZ = −0.100; 95% confidence interval = −0.167 to −0.032). AAT and NEO were not associated with growth; however, composite EE score was negatively associated with subsequent 3-month growth. In this cohort of children from an urban setting in Bangladesh, elevated MPO levels, but not NEO or AAT levels, were associated with decreases in short-term linear growth during the second year of life, supporting previous data suggesting the relevance of MPO as a marker of EE.
Identificación y caracterización litológica mediante el uso del sensor ETM+ (Landsat 7). Caso de estudio: entorno del glaciar Upsala, Argentina
Authors: Lo Vecchio A. , Lenzano M. G. , Richiano S. , Lenzano L. E.
Published: June 2016

The object of this study aims to evaluate and analyze digital image processing techniques applied to the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), in order to demark and characterize the outcropping lithologies on the Upsala Glacier basin, Santa Cruz, Argentine Republic. The prolific technological and spatial development experienced in the last decades has given place to the generation, without precedents, of multiple remote sensors capable of capturing information of the terrestrial surface and also the improvement of digital image processing techniques and software; amongst them, the amazing possibilities in the detection and differentiation of diverse covers present on the terrestrial surface can be highlighted, such as glaciers, volcanoes, vegetation, soils, water, types of rock outcrops, etc. This situation improves mapping and monitoring of natural phenomenon in the Earth Sciences field. The proposed methodology includes radiometric corrections, elimination of unwanted covers, statistical evaluation in the combination of the most appropriate bands, application of the Z index, discretization of the statistical series, entailing tasks of spectral classification with field samples and a later validation. Valuable results were obtained by means of digital processing of images, that were validated yielding a 82% of accuracy in the proposed classification, which are good results taking into account the diversity of covers present and the lithological heterogeneity that makes up each pixel (30m). These results were also validated with existing geological maps, obtaining a good agreement.
Meat physical quality and muscle fibre properties of rabbit meat as affected by the sire breed, season, parity order and gender in an organic production system
Authors: Dalle Zotte A. , Cullere M. , Rémignon H. , Alberghini L. , Paci G.
Published: June 2016

The aim of the study was to evaluate some meat physical quality and muscle fibre properties of rabbit meat when considering 2 sire breeds (SB: Vienna Blue [VB]; Burgundy Fawn [BF]; both coloured and slow-growing breeds), several parity orders (P: 1, 2, ≥3), gender (G), and 2 slaughter seasons (SS: spring, summer) in an organic production system. The effect of storage time (ST) at frozen state (2 mo at –20°C) of Longissimus lumborum (LL) meat was also evaluated. Animals were slaughtered when they reached 2.8 kg of live weight. Then, pH and L*a*b* colour values of Biceps femoris (BF) and LL muscles, water loss and Warner-Bratzler shear force of LL and hind leg (HL) meat, and the fibre typing and enzymatic activity of LL muscle were analysed. LL meat from females showed higher b* values than males (0.04 vs. –1.25; P<0.05). Significant (P<0.05) SB×P, SB×G and P×G interactions were observed for the b* value of LL: VB and BF crossbreds presented a higher b* value when born as P≥3 and P2 respectively, VB females showed higher b* value than VB males, and P2 and P≥3 produced males with a significantly lower b* value. HL thawing losses were significantly (P<0.05) higher in rabbits slaughtered in summer than in those slaughtered in spring, whereas the opposite result was obtained for LL meat (P<0.01). Cooking loss of LL meat was significantly lower in P2 group than P≥3 group (P<0.05). The lactate dehydrogenase activity in LL muscle was higher in VB than in BF crossbreds (930 vs. 830 IU; P<0.05), albeit not supported by differences in fibre type distribution. The ST significantly (P<0.01) reduced pH, a* and b* colour values, and increased lightness of LL meat. It was concluded that the crossbreeds derived from VB and BF genotypes and farmed organically did not show remarkable sexual dimorphism, considering their elder slaughter age than rabbits reared under intensive conditions. Physical quality of meat was mainly affected by slaughter season, indicating that in the organic rearing system, specific attention needs to be paid to the farming environmental conditions.
Overvloed en onbehagen in de mondiale markt voor vertalingen. Nederlandse redacteuren in het transnationale literaire veld
Authors: Franssen Thomas , Kuipers Giselinde
Published: June 2016

Hoe nemen redacteuren bij Nederlandse uitgeverijen beslissingen over de aankoop van vertaalrechten voor buitenlandse boeken? Dit artikel laat zien hoe redacteuren in het transnationale literaire veld het hoofd moeten bieden aan grote onzekerheid, overdaad en hevige competitie. De auteurs combineren een veldtheoretisch en neo-institutioneel perspectief om dit besluitvormingsproces inzichtelijk te maken. De belangrijkste strategieën om te beslissen welk boek te vertalen zijn decentrale organisatie, vertrouwen op het internationale netwerk en de eigen expertise, en de accumulatie van symbolisch kapitaal in de fondsenlijst.

Seculiere intolerantie. Morele progressiviteit en afwijzing van de islam in Nederland
Authors: van Bohemen Samira , Kemmers Roy , de Koster Willem
Published: June 2016

Terwijl Nederland bekendstaat als baken van tolerantie, wordt er de laatste jaren opvallend veel kritiek geuit op de islam. Bovendien hanteren islamkritische opinieleiders hierbij een discours waarbij progressieve waarden centraal staan. Dit roept de vraag op hoe morele progressiviteit en afwijzing van de islam met elkaar verbonden zijn onder de bredere bevolking. En hoe verhoudt een op progressieve waarden gebaseerde verwerping van de islam zich tot etnocentrische vooroordelen?

Ter inleiding op de rede van Bourdieu. Symposium over Bourdieus Lof van de Sociologie
Authors: Sociologie Tijdschrift
Published: June 2016

Tien jaar geleden overleed de vermaarde Franse socioloog Pierre Bourdieu. Om dat moment te markeren drukken we hier een voorheen ongepubliceerde tekst van Bourdieu af: de rede die hij uitsprak op 7 december 1993 ter gelegenheid van de overhandiging van de Gouden Medaille van het Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, de hoogste wetenschappelijke onderscheiding van Frankrijk. De tekst van de rede is ons aangeboden door Loïc Wacquant, samen met diens reflectie over het oeuvre van Bourdieu. Loïc Wacquant is voormalig student en coauteur van Bourdieu. Hij bespreekt de rede tegen de achtergrond van het werk van Bourdieu en analyseert de receptie. In zijn bespiegeling gaat Willem Schinkel specifiek in op de rol van reflexiviteit in het werk van Bourdieu. De tekst van Loïc Wacquant en de rede van Bourdieu worden in de loop van 2013 wereldwijd in diverse sociologische tijdschriften afgedrukt. De publicatie in Sociologie maakt aldus deel uit van een mondiaal sociologisch eerbetoon aan Pierre Bourdieu.

“Wij zijn ons eigen doel”. Kritische vertogen over vrouwelijkheid en leeftijd bij de Red Hat Society
Authors: van Bohemen Samira
Published: June 2016

De Red Hat Society (RHS) is een uniek soort vrijetijdsvereniging. Niet alleen omdat zij zich specifiek richt op vrouwen van vijftig jaar en ouder, of omdat haar leden tijdens evenementen een opvallende rode hoed dragen op paarse kleding, maar ook omdat de organisatie hiermee een opmerkelijke brug lijkt te slaan tussen plezier enerzijds en aan feminisme verwante politiek anderzijds. Hoe combineert de RHS deze twee ogenschijnlijk tegenstrijdige doelstellingen?

Published: June 2016

Na dertig jaar actor-netwerk theorie (ANT) blijft er discussie over de waarde van dit type analyse voor de sociale wetenschappen. In dit artikel wordt aan de hand van de Amerikaanse tv-serie The Wire onderzocht welke inzichten ANT oplevert en welke beperkingen deze aanpak heeft. Daarvoor wordt Latours ANT-handboek Reassembling the Social gebruikt. Met concrete voorbeelden uit The Wire wordt ingegaan op kernvragen rondom ANT: over agency, structuur, kritiek, realisme en empirische sociologie. Om uiteindelijk een antwoord te geven op de vraag: wat levert ANT de sociologie op?
Strontologie, of de politieke levensloop van een koeienvlaai

Published: June 2016

Een beschouwing van mestproblematiek en mestbeleid met behulp van de actornetwerk theorie leert dat eenvoudige recepten als ‘minder vee’ of ‘meer techniek’ niet helpen bij dit soort complexe kwesties die te maken hebben met de technologische samenleving. De toekomst zit niet in scheiding van natuur en cultuur maar in vermenging, niet in loskoppeling van milieu en economie, maar in het leggen van meer en betere verbindingen tussen alle betrokkenen. Die toekomst is al volop zichtbaar in de praktijk, zoals blijkt wanneer je inzoomt op de levensloop van een koeienvlaai.

Published: June 2016

Abstract. This study reports NO, NO2 and O3 mixing ratios and flux measurements using the eddy-covariance method during a 7-months period over an oilseed rape field, spanning an organic and a mineral fertilisation event. Mean NO emissions during the whole period were in agreement with previous studies and showed quite small emissions of 0.26 kg N ha−1 with an emission factor of 0.27 %, estimated as the ratio between total N emitted in form of NO and total N input. The NO emissions were higher following organic fertilisation in August due to conditions favouring nitrification (soil water content around 20 % and high temperatures), while mineral fertilisation in February did not result in large emissions. The ozone (O3) deposition velocity was significantly larger following organic fertilisation. We argue that reaction of O3 with emitted NO or reaction of O3 at the surface did not explain this finding, but we propose that reactions of O3 with VOCs emitted by the slurry were the main reason. The analysis of the chemical and turbulent transport times showed that reactions between NO, NO2 and O3 below the measurement height occurred at all time during the 7-months period. Following organic fertilisation, the NO ground fluxes were 30 % larger than the NO fluxes at the measurement height (3.2 m) , while the NO2 fluxes changed sign during some periods, being negative at the surface and positive at the measurement height. This phenomenon of "apparent NO2 emissions" reveals to be important during strong NO emissions and high O3 ambient mixing ratios, even on a bare soil during August.
"Let's Get Together": What Tax Should Learn About Collaborative Regulation Development
Authors: Cords Danshera
Published: June 2016

High school civics classes and Schoolhouse Rock! create an image of democracy and lawmaking as resting on a foundation of voter participation in the law-making process, either through the election of representatives or the casting of votes on a ballot issue. However, over time Congress has delegated to administrative agencies substantial authority to make law. As the government and society have become more complex, Congress has had to delegate much of its legislative authority to administrative agencies just to keep up with the growing need for federal regulation. Indeed, administrative agencies create many times more laws than Congress each year. These agencies are part of the Executive Branch of government. Each agency is usually created to address a single area, i.e., the Environmental Protection Area and the Federal Election Commission. Their Congressional mandate usually allows an agency to operate largely independently and allows an agency to develop specialized knowledge and technical expertise with respect to the assigned subject matter; expertise that Congress would be unable to develop in light of the very broad areas in which Federal legislation operates. To protect against agency overreaching and ensure that the lawmaking function remain democratic, administrative rulemaking procedures must be open, transparent, and accessible.
Administración pública local y construcción de la central hidroeléctrica en la Amazonia
Authors: Pont Vidal Josep
Published: June 2016

Exponemos los resultados de una observación exploratoria en la que se analizan los impactos funcionales en el sistema administrativo como consecuencia de la construcción de la Central Hidroeléctrica de Belo Monte (CHB) en el municipio de Altamira (Amazonia oriental brasileña). En la perspectiva teórico-conceptual de la teoría de sistemas sociales de Niklas Luhmann, realizamos una observación del sistema administrativo local sobre sus operaciones y funciones, en base a cuatro códigos preestablecidos: toma de decisiones, contingencia, significación simbólica del proyecto y planificación. Las conclusiones permiten entrever en un aplano conceptual la utilidad de los conceptos sistémicos de Luhmann, y en el empírico, una planificación y administración pública municipal reactivas.
El Instituto antes de Salamanca. Los primeros años del Instituto de Investigaciones y Experiencias Cinematográficas (1947-1955)
Authors: Ramos Arenas Fernando
Published: June 2016

El presente texto analiza la función del Instituto de Investigaciones y Experiencias Cinematográficas (IIEC) como punto de encuentro de la cultura cinematográfica nacional entre 1947 y 1955 —los años de Victoriano López— y dirige el foco analítico a los discursos, debates e intereses que marcaron la labor del instituto en estos primeros años. Para ello, este artículo fija su atención en uno de los pocos docu­mentos originales conservados de esa época, un boletín publicado por los alumnos en 1951, material que será aquí completado con entrevistas y los escasos documentos referentes al instituto conservados en el Archivo General de la Administración. La piedra de toque del análisis la constituyen por un lado las ac­tividades del cineclub, organizado por los alumnos de la clase de Historia del Cine en 1951, y, en el plano discursivo, los debates en torno a la Filmología, doctrina con la que desde 1947 se intenta dotar a las acti­vidades del Instituto de una base teórica con desiguales resultados. Se consigue así un acercamiento a las prácticas y discursos esenciales para comprender la importancia del instituto como punto central dentro de una naciente cultura cinematográfica nacional.
Víctor Erice en la Escuela Oficial de Cinematografía. Elogio de la incomunicación
Authors: Deltell Luis
Published: June 2016

Aunque Víctor Erice es uno de los directores españoles más estudiados del cine español, sus trabajos en el Instituto de Investigaciones y Experiencias Cinematográficas, que más tarde pasará a llamarse Escuela Oficial de Cinematografía, no se han analizado en profundidad. Salvo su práctica de tercer curso, Los días perdidos, el resto de los cortometrajes y los guiones escritos se han considerado obras menores, piezas sin importancia relevante o directamente títulos extraviados. Sin embargo, estos trabajos se encuentran en buen estado en el archivo de la Escuela Oficial de Cine custodiado por la Filmoteca Española. De Víctor Erice se conservan cuatro cortometrajes y cinco guiones cinematográficos para piezas breves. En este artículo, resumen de una investigación realizada sobre dicho material inédito, se quiere mostrar cómo estas obras presentan un valor en sí mismas y deben ser analizadas como parte importante de la filmografía de este autor. En todos estos trabajos, sin dejar de ser ejercicios de escuela, se muestra la mirada de un cineasta pleno. Así, existen elementos que serán clave en el posterior universo temático y estético de Víctor Erice. Además, el creador aborda como problemática central de sus prácticas el tema de la comunicación humana, o más propiamente el de la incomunicación. En los guiones y los cortometrajes cata­logados de la etapa en la EOC se observa cómo Erice, influenciado en parte por Michelangelo Antonioni, investiga estéticamente el modo de narrar y mostrar los procesos que conducen a la incomunicación y al aislamiento de sus protagonistas.
Usos mediáticos del carisma de Dolores Ibárruri en los inicios de la Transición
Authors: Benet Vicente J.
Published: June 2016

El artículo ofrece un análisis de la función cumplida por Dolores Ibárruri, Pasionaria, durante la Transición a la democracia en España. Se centra en dos acontecimientos en los que la líder comunista tuvo un papel relevante: su retorno del exilio el 13 de mayo de 1977 y su presencia en la sesión inaugural de las primeras Cortes democráticas el 13 de julio de ese mismo año. A través del análisis del tratamiento de los medios de estos actos, se defenderá la idea del reciclaje del carisma, observando cómo un liderazgo carismático construido en un periodo histórico (la Guerra Civil) fue reutilizado en otro: la transición a la democracia. En este caso, con el fin de legitimar el proceso e instalar la idea de reconciliación en el relato de la Transición.

Las conclusiones señalan que, en efecto, la crisis ha impactado negativamente en las industrias de España e Italia, y muy gravemente en la de Portugal, pero en el lado contrario, la del Reino Unido ha experimentado un crecimiento apreciable y las de Francia y Alemania también lo han hecho, aunque en menor medida. Y en segundo lugar, es muy notable la escasa colaboración alcanzada entre los agentes europeos.
La prensa para mayores, un sector emergente que no acaba de despegar
Authors: Gómez-Escalonilla Gloria
Published: June 2016

Se aborda en el presente artículo una descripción y análisis del sector periodístico destinado a los mayores en España, desde dos puntos de vista: por un lado, elaborar un mapping de medios actualizado y, por otro lado, un estudio de los contenidos publicitarios y editoriales que ofrecen dos revistas relevantes del sector: Sesenta y más, la revista del IMSERSO, y Senda Senior, como propuesta comercial. Pues bien, del estudio empírico realizado se puede concluir que el sector no pasa por su mejor momento, fundamentalmente por el escaso interés publicitario. A pesar de ello, las iniciativas existentes ofrecen un tipo de comunicación que además de dar información de los servicios ofrecidos por las instituciones, también proponen modelos de vida que se ajustan mejor a los nuevos tiempos, perfilando una persona que sin dejar de preocuparse por su salud, sea más activa en el terreno comunicativo, en el lúdico y sobre todo en el cultural.
Estructura formal, textual y oral del discurso público
Authors: Mas Manchón Lluis
Published: June 2016

Estructura formal, textual y oral del discurso públicoExisten tres competencias comunicativas muy valoradas en la sociedad de la información. Primero, la búsqueda, selección y gestión de grandes cantidades de información. Segundo, la redacción de textos claros, concisos y rigurosos. Y en tercer lugar, la exposición y defensa oral de esta información en un discurso público. Tradicionalmente, los estudios de periodismo han abordado estas competencias de forma independiente. Pero actualmente, instituciones y empresas de ámbitos diferentes demandan un perfil profesional capaz de aplicarlas ante cualquier tipo de información y con objetivos diversos. Se propone un modelo integral en tres niveles estructurales basado en teorías, conceptos y estudios específicos de periodismo, oratoria, retórica… o comunicación, en los últimos años. Este modelo puede contribuir a encauzar las investigaciones de académicos y representa una herramienta de entrenamiento para profesionales.

Published: June 2016

This paper presents a short-term forecasting model of monthly South African macroeconomic variables to estimate the effects of monetary policy on output growth from a Structural Vector Autoregression  perspective. A set of forecasting experimentations are carried out to evaluate the out-of-sample static and dynamic forecast for the post-apartheid period. We carried out a combined forecast in order to compare the static with dynamic forecasting approach for improving output growth. The findings reveal that money supply is observed to exert a significant positive impact on output growth from about the eighth month. In addition, the dynamic forecasting is observed to have a more robust result and outperforms the static forecasting. It clearly brings out the growth patterns (increase and decrease) and can be justified and recommended to policymakers in calculating or in predicting the outcome of monetary policy actions for future development. However, in order to improve the predictive forecasting accuracy, the study recommends combined forecasting as dynamic forecasting is associated with risk and uncertainty that is central to its prediction and expected reliability.

Authors: Moradi Farhad , Shademanfar Mohammad Reza
Published: June 2016

Patient safety is one of the main issues in health care services. Medical mistakes are common potential dangers for patients that can be treated as a measure of patient safety. Medication errors are the most common errors in the nursing profession, which can be potentially dangerous for patients. In this study, the main purpose was evaluation of criminal responsibility of nurses in administration of prescriptions using descriptive and analytical approach. Since for medical professionals legal aspects of such cases are beyond their duty, we wish to determine the criminal liability for medical care personnel (e.g. nurses) and associated professionals
We will look at penal provisions for this matter closely. Obviously, lack of medical community responsibility for such errors will diminish cases of criminal prosecution. While specific rules in Medicine provide the possibility to call upon relevant incumbents, yet, criminal responsibility has not been assigned to this issue. In the legal responsibility of medical superintendents, nursing faults are divided into two categories, general criminal liability and specific criminal liability. Recent responsibility requires that necessary coordination exists between prosecution laws and specific laws in medicine.

Published: June 2016

Faith had a special place in the thought of Augustine, so that it should be considered essential as a starting point in the process of human purification. In this opinion, our knowledge to the seen and believable affairs would be the thoughts and faith respectively. This approch stated about the role of faith in the understanding that revelation invites us to believe and we cannot understand as long as we don’t believe. The Greek ideas have been used during Fathers period and its subject matter emphasized that there is a great and infinite God. The concept of God in Greek philosophy was close to the God of the Bible in some ways. Justin martyr confirmed that the Christian faith is the only valid and useful philosophy. More righteous God should be inclusive to the extent of justice’s concept. God worship must be a responsibility not just for the chosen nation, but other people also worship him. Augustine and holy texts considered attributes to God such as infinite, substantive, creative, love, goodness, justice, almighty, creator, eternal and penetrating. Augustine knew the God's righteousness attribute eternal and said about God that he is an eternal and immutable truth that is present in our minds and he agreed the formal theory of three hypostases (God, Christ or the Logos and the Holy Spirit). He was one of the greatest Christian theorist of the Trinity; the only real God has been formed from three persons under the names of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit in his view. The most important attribute of God is unity. The doctrine of grace is as the basic Christian concepts. Paul knew the grace implies on the act of mercy of God and also a major factor for salvation. Augustine knew the first humanity's sin great and unjust somehow our minds are unable to understand the damages caused by it. No one are known to be exempted of this just and true punishment unless, free mercy and grace of God release him. Religious reformation motion also questioned the authoritarianism in religious life and its emphasis on the personal aspect of faith that played a role in the transition from the medieval world to the modern era. The impact of Christian classical teachings and the ideas of Augustine was undeniable on the development of Christian theology.
