Heat-Induced Calcium Leakage Causes Mitochondrial Damage in Caenorhabditis elegans Body-Wall Muscles
Authors: Momma Kenta , Homma Takashi , Isaka Ruri , Sudevan Surabhi , Higashitani Atsushi
Published: June 2017

Acute onset of organ failure in heatstroke is triggered by rhabdomyolysis of skeletal muscle. Here, we showed that elevated temperature increases free cytosolic Ca2+ [Ca2+]f from RYR (ryanodine receptor)/UNC-68  in vivo in the muscles of an experimental model animal, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This subsequently leads to mitochondrial fragmentation and dysfunction, and breakdown of myofilaments similar to rhabdomyolysis. In addition, treatment with an inhibitor of RYR (dantrolene) or activation of FoxO (Forkhead box O)/DAF-16 is effective against heat-induced muscle damage. Acute onset of organ failure in heatstroke is triggered by rhabdomyolysis of skeletal muscle. To gain insight into heat-induced muscle breakdown, we investigated alterations of Ca2+ homeostasis and mitochondrial morphology in vivo in body-wall muscles of C. elegans exposed to elevated temperature. Heat stress for 3 hr at 35° increased the concentration of [Ca2+]f, and led to mitochondrial fragmentation and subsequent dysfunction in the muscle cells. A similar mitochondrial fragmentation phenotype is induced in the absence of heat stress by treatment with a calcium ionophore, ionomycin. Mutation of the unc-68 gene, which encodes the ryanodine receptor that is linked to Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, could suppress the mitochondrial dysfunction, muscle degeneration, and reduced mobility and life span induced by heat stress. In addition, in a daf-2 mutant, in which the DAF-16/FoxO transcription factor is activated, resistance to calcium overload, mitochondrial fragmentation, and dysfunction was observed. These findings reveal that heat-induced Ca2+ accumulation causes mitochondrial damage and consequently induces muscle breakdown.

Artistic foundations of the Carmelite Order in Silesia in early modern times. Selected issues
Authors: Galewski Dariusz
Published: June 2017

The Order of The Brothers of The Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel arrived in Silesia late in the 14th century, when its first monastery was established in Strzegom. It was however liquidated during the Reformation. Only after the end of the Thirty Years’ War was it successfully regained, and three new locations were opened in Głębowice, Wołów, and Kożuchów. Baron Johann Adam de Garnier, a colonel of the imperial army hailing from Alsace, owner of the estate in Głębowice, played a major role in their design and development. The first two centres are impressive Baroque projects with lavishly furnished churches, while the third is a mediaeval castle entrusted to the monks late in the 17th century and adapted into a monastery, which, besides the Jesuit Otyń, is considered a singularity in Silesia. The essay presents the artistic achievement of Silesian Carmelites based on the state-of-the-art research and emphasises the role of the founder. It is also an attempt at assessing the contribution of the Order to the development of Baroque culture and art in Silesia, which is modest, especially when compared to the neighbouring regions of the Commonwealth of Poland–Lithuania. It also emphasised the absence of the reformed branch of the Order, that is the Discalced Carmelites, in the area. Although the achievements of the Carmelites would be difficult to compare with the impressive heritage of Cistercians and Jesuits who dominated the religious and artistic realm of post-Tridentine Catholic Church in Silesia, it nonetheless merits the interest of researchers in various fields of culture and art.
Związki teologii krzyża św. Bonawentury z mistyką Karmelu. Z kręgu powinowactwa sztuki franciszkańskiej i karmelitańskiej na wybranych przykładach sztuki z XIV i początku XV wieku
Authors: Mazurczak Urszula
Published: June 2017

Pokaźna spuścizna badawcza ojca karmelity Bienignusa Wanata, profesora historii sztuki, inspiruje do dalszych badań – aby wyjaśnić plastykę powstałą w obrębie karmelu w średniowieczu, która była kontynuowana w czasach nowożytnych. W niniejszej pracy zaprezentowany został motyw krzyża jako Lignum Vitae, znany najwcześniej z drobnej plastyki Palestyny obszaru życia pierwszych karmelitów. Podejmujemy próbę związania tej formy krzyża utrwalonej na dewocyjnych przedmiotach przywożonych do Europy z Ziemi Świętej, z tradycją kultu zarówno Maryi, jak i Krzyża. Wskazuje się na pierwsze eremy w Palestynie, następnie na osiedlenie się karmelitów w Italii w połowie XIII i w XIV wieku. Istnieją związki eremickiego życia karmelitów z pierwotnymi formami życia franciszkanów w Italii, zwłaszcza w Umbrii. Podejmowane były w nauce główne kierunki pobożności, następnie kształcenia uniwersyteckiego karmelitów w Italii w XIII i początku XIV wieku. Wskazano na ich ścisły związek z nauką św. Tomasza z Akwinu i pobożnością dominikańską, którą kontynuowali wielcy mistycy karmelu w XVII wieku.W niniejszej pracy wskazuje się na nurt pobożności franciszkańskiej i związek z kontemplacją Krzyża jako Drzewa Życia, którego forma asymilowana była poprzez import z Palestyny ampułek na świętą oliwę oraz innych przedmiotów wotywnych. Taki motyw krzyża znany w ikonografii franciszkańskiej został zaasymilowany również do pobożności karmelu choć wielość konkretnych dzieł sztuki pochodzi z czasów nowożytnych, co potwierdza np. krucyfiks z kościoła pokarmelickiego w Warszawie. Pisma i traktaty św. Bonawentury czytano i kontemplowano w środowisku karmelickim Teksty te ugruntowały motywy krzyża w sztuce.
The history of the foundation of the Calced Carmelite Church in Wola Gułowska
Authors: Rolska Irena
Published: June 2017

In 1633, Ludwik Krasiński († after 1644) was given a consent by Bishop Jan Albert Waza to establish a Calced Carmelite monastery on Krasiński’s property in Wola Gułowska. The foundation of the Carmelite congregation, far from much frequented trails, was in line with eremitic ideas and spirituality of the order. The Wola Gułowska monastery became a second largest (after Krakow) Carmelite monastery in terms of the number of monks. The monastery in Wola Gułowska had a formative character, with the novitiate and philosophical studies. In the 17th century the church became an important Marian sanctuary, as it possessed a much venerated painting of the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus dating back to the early 15th, late 16th century.The construction of the church, commenced in 1659, took considerable funds. Not only was it supported by the Krasiński family, but also by many representatives of aristocratic families, local landlords and priests, such as canons Michał Krassowski and Mikołaj Firlej. The three-nave basilica church was being built for over 100 years and in several stages. It was the funds gathered in the 18th century that allowed the builders to complete the two-tower partitioned facade in the years 1770–1780. In the middle of the 18th century, the altars were made in the church by monastic sculptors Grzegorz Kaczyrek and Izydor Mastalski. The seventeenth-century designers of the church or of its eighteenth century façade still remain unknown.
The influence and significance of monastic lace workshops on the development of Polish lace-making (as exemplified by the Benedictine Convent in Staniątki)
Authors: Szlęk Karolina
Published: June 2017

The running of schools by the Benedictine nuns at Staniątki was the most important aspect of the external activities of the convent and with time it became one of their main and most important activities in general. Free Education “Maidens lay” was their duty. That apartment next to the Prayer was the basic assumptions of the reformed Benedictine Rule “pray and work”.This article presents selected examples of lace from the collections of the Benedictine monastery in Staniatki. That would represent only a small fraction of these treasures stored weight of Historical Walls. Undoubtedly the number and also the quality of the laces are evidence of extraordinary artistic craftsmanship. That works, probably made not only by nuns or monastery school students but also by their lacemakers, had a great  importance and influence on the development of Polish lace tread.
Rola redemptorystów w odnowieniu kultu ikony Matki Bożej Nieustającej Pomocy
Authors: Sadowski Maciej
Published: June 2017

Motywem tej naukowej refleksji jest jubileusz 150 lat od uroczystego przywrócenia do publicznego kultu ikony Matki Bożej Nieustającej Pomocy, która łączy wschodnie i zachodnie tradycje teologiczne i ikonograficzne. W dziejach kultury religijnej wiek XIX nazywany jest często „stuleciem Maryi”. To okres niezwykle bujnego rozkwitu maryjnej pobożności. Pośród jej najważniejszych przykładów jawi się ponowne odkrycie cudownej ikony oraz rozpropagowanie jej kultu na całym świecie. Celem tego artykułu jest ukazanie tego procesu oraz szczególnej roli zgromadzenia redemptorystów, którym bł. Pius IX powierzył wizerunek z zadaniem, „by uczynili go znanym na całym świecie”. W powyższej prezentacji przedstawione zostały okoliczności ponownego odkrycia ikony, jej rzymskiej koronacji w 1867 roku oraz różnorodne przejawy i formy kultu Matki Bożej Nieustającej Pomocy, dziś jednego z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych i czczonych wizerunków maryjnych na świecie.

Planning in All its (Dis)guises: Spheres of Government, Functional Areas and Authority
Authors: Van Wyk Jeannie
Published: June 2017

The Constitution determines that the legislative and executive powers regarding 'regional planning and development', 'urban and rural development', 'provincial planning' and 'municipal planning' are divided among the three spheres of government. Yet the boundaries between these items listed in Schedules 4 and 5 of the Constitution are opaque and their precise content is not always apparent. Overlaps, conflicts and uncertainty may occur.

 

In a number of landmark decisions the courts have provided content to these different functional areas. Clarity on what 'municipal planning' comprises leads to more certainty on the content of the other planning areas. Draft legislation such as the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Bill (B14-2012) can also assist in adding substance to a demarcation of these different functional areas.  Yet uncertainties still remain, occasioned by constitutional provisions such as sections 100, 139(1) and 155(6)-(7), that permit intervention by national and provincial government in provinces and municipalities respectively, as well as the support and monitoring by provincial government in respect of municipalities.

 

Few clear solutions are immediately apparent. The role of the constitutional principles of co-operative government where uncertainty and conflict exist is examined, especially where no veto of one sphere over another is possible. Principles of interpretation can also assist in delineating the boundaries of the different functional areas. It seems, however, that the courts will find themselves having to address the remaining inconsistencies.
The Doctrine of Quasi-Mutual Assent - Has it become the General Rule for the Formation of Contracts? The Case of Pillay v Shaik 2009 4 SA 74 (SCA)
Authors: Thejane Puseletso Rankoane
Published: June 2017

The doctrine of quasi-mutual assent is undoubtedly part of our South African law and has been affirmed and applied in a number of leading decisions. The purpose of this note is to offer a critical analysis of the application of the doctrine in the case of Pillay v Shaik 2009 4 SA 74 (SCA). It is argued that the primary basis of contractual liability in South Africa has always been and still remains consensus ad idem as determined in terms of the rules relating to offer and acceptance It is also argued that the doctrine is not an answer to failure by the parties to comply with self-imposed formalities and/or the prescribed manner of acceptance of an offer for the valid formation of contracts. Based on the aim of the incorporation of the doctrine in our law, coupled with its application in previous court decisions, it is concluded that its application in the case of Pillay v Shaik was wrong and sets a bad precedent.

Obszary metropolitalne w świetle podziału administracyjnego Polski
Authors: Kaczmarek Tomasz
Published: June 2017

Podstawową tezą pracy jest stwierdzenie, że organizacja terytorialna administracji publicznej powinna zmieniać się w relacji do rozwoju procesów osadniczych. Ich duża dynamika w ostatnich latach skłania do refleksji nad przekształceniami podziału administracyjnego kraju. Na uwagę zasługują kwestie uregulowania statusu miejskich obszarów funkcjonalnych szczególnie dużych miast, określanych jako obszary metropolitalne. W wyniku procesu metropolizacji i suburbanizacji ich rola w systemie osadniczym Polski rośnie, czego jednak nie odzwierciedla ich pozycja w systemie zarządzania terytorialnego ani planowania przestrzennego. Od wielu lat trwają dyskusje nad upodmiotowieniem obszarów metropolitalnych, które integrują się poprzez współpracę samorządową oraz zewnętrzne środki wsparcia, takie jak zintegrowane inwestycje terytorialne.

The Impact of Professional Language Interpreting in Midwifery Care: A Review of the Evidence
Authors: Cramer Eleanor
Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND: Patients’ limited proficiency in the language of health care providers is known to be associated with health care disparities. Reluctance to use professional interpreting is documented across a wide range of health care professionals. Most of the literature on the effect of interpreting practices has focused on non-midwifery contexts.

OBJECTIVE: To review the evidence regarding how using professional interpreters impacts the midwifery care of women with limited dominant language proficiency (LDLP).

METHODS: Eligible studies were identified using searches of MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Maternity and Infant Care, then analyzed and assessed for applicability to midwifery.

RESULTS: 40 eligible papers, and two systematic reviews containing 48 additional papers, were included. The use of professional interpreters was found to support all aspects of the midwife’s direct role, with some complex findings on woman-centered communication during interpreted encounters. The use of ad hoc interpreters, or no interpreting, undermines all aspects of midwifery care for women with LDLP.

IMPLICATIONS: Midwifery care should be enhanced by increasing midwives’ use of professional interpreters; future research should consider how best to achieve this or investigate the comparative efficacy of more complex interventions, such as interpreter-doulas.
Women’s Experience of Trust Within the Midwife–Mother Relationship
Authors: Lewis Marie , Jones Aled , Hunter Billie
Published: June 2017

This article summarizes the main findings from my PhD study exploring individual women’s experiences of trust within the midwife–mother relationship.

Evidence suggests that trust is an important element of care provision (Department of Health, 2010; Nursing and Midwifery Council, 2015), yet it is poorly defined as a concept.

AIM: The aim of the study was to explore the concept of trust within the midwife–mother relationship increasing understanding of individual women’s experience of trust and its meaning to them within the caring relationship. No specific research questions were identified at the outset as congruent with the hybrid methodological approach used.

METHODOLOGY: A hybrid model approach was used, underpinned by a Heideggerian phenomenological approach. The hybrid model provides a theoretical framework for incorporating the literature and theory in the developing concept analysis with empirical data as a continuous concurrent process (Schwartz-Barcott & Kim, 1993). Longitudinal semi-structured interviews were carried out at three time points: in early pregnancy, at 37 weeks of pregnancy, and 8 weeks postnatal with a purposive sample of nine women experiencing straightforward pregnancy. Phenomenology allowed the concept to be explored within the lived experience of the participants in the natural setting.

ANALYSIS: Thematic analysis was conducted, supported by Nvivo 9. The text was analyzed as a whole, by sections of text and by line-by-line coding examining the participant’s words for meaning. Extracts were coded, clustered, and synthesized into overarching themes. Comparison of the themes at each stage assisted in the understanding of the development and changes within the concept being studied over time. Themes were taken back to participants to guide subsequent interviews clarifying their meaning, authenticity, and ensuring that the data gathered reflected their personal insight.

FINDINGS: The experience of trust was described as an evolving concept that developed over time as a series of building blocks. The participants described an initial trust associated with an expectation of assumed competence in the midwife, but this was then influenced by the developing relationship between midwife and mother. The concept of trust was interwoven with women’s agency; women expressed a desire to develop a two-way trust that included the midwife trusting the woman. This article reports on the overall findings, concentrating on the development of trust and key themes relevant to clinical midwifery practice: need, expectation, the midwife–mother relationship, and impact of continuity of carer and the importance of women’s agency.

IMPLICATIONS: Understanding the concept of trust from the woman’s perspective is important for developing maternity services that meet the needs of women.

Analytical study of the XIV century wall painting and lime mortars in the "St. George" church in Staro Nagoričane, Republic of Macedonia
Authors: Čukovska Lidija Robeva , Ivanova Tena Šijakova , Kokolanski Živko
Published: June 2017

This work presents the first comprehensive study of the wall painting in the “St. George” church accomplished mainly by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy using Diffuse Reflectance and Micro-Infrared method (FTIR/DRS/Micro-IR) and the other analytical techniques Optical microscopy (OM), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The main research objective was characterization of the artistic palette and painting technique, but also determination of the degradation products and observed alterations to the wall painting. Additionally, the lime mortars (plaster and renders) located immediately behind the studied wall painting were analyzed. The analysis demonstrated that mainly natural/mineral pigments were used in the artwork and the majority of painting was executed in combination of fresco and lime-painting technique. The major risk factor in the painting deterioration was found to be the salt efflorescence, which mostly occurred as oxalates and sulfates.
THE ROLE OF INTERNAL AUDIT IN GOVERNANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND CONTROLS FOR FRAUD PREVENTION AT PPATK
Authors: Purnomo Bambang Hadi
Published: June 2017

ABSTRACTLaw Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering has mandated the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (INTRAC / PPATK) to be the focal point of every effort made to combat money laundering in Indonesia. As a focal point, PPATK receives financial transaction reports from reporting parties, which include Financial Service Providers and Goods and Services Providers, where the data provided are considered to be highly confidential. This indicates that PPATK has become a strategic institution, and thereby it should be assured that its governance, risk management, and internal control are well maintained. Government Internal Supervision Apparatus (APIP) has become more strategic and keeps its pace according to the latest needs. APIP is expected to be the agent of change that could create added-values into the products or services made by the government agency. The activity of internal audit from APIP should contribute to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of governance, risk management, and control processes. In term of risk management, internal auditor should be able to evaluate the effectiveness and his contribution towards the improvement of the risk management process. Internal auditor should monitor the process through sustainable management, separated evaluation, or both. Internal auditor should be able to evaluate the potential occurrence of fraud and how the auditee manages the fraud risk. Meanwhile, in relation to internal control, the activity of internal auditor should evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control in handling the risks of the auditee’s governance, operational, and information system.

Antropología e historia: notas para una etnografía del pasado
Authors: Martínez-Dueñas William Andrés , Perafán Ledezma Astrid Lorena
Published: June 2017

Este documento trata sobre la relación entre la antropología y la historia, y  sobre cómo abordar el pasado en el proceso etnográfico. Para esto trabajaremos con un grupo de autores quienes, desde perspectivas etnográficas, han abordado la historia y/o el pasado. Veremos esto aplicado a procesos político-organizativos, el análisis etnográfico de la lucha por tierras y la re-interpretación de los eventos del pasado desde sus diferentes agentes y situaciones. Esto hará evidente cómo los relatos históricos son de diferente naturaleza y obedecen a diversos objetivos, desde visibilizar las relaciones de poder dentro del relato, hasta los fines prácticos que justifican la narración del pasado y cómo la etnografía es una herramienta útil para abordar estos procesos.
Genocidio, Paramilitares y Víctimas en Indonesia. Una revisión del documental The Act of Killing (2012).
Authors: Díaz Boada Sandro Alberto
Published: June 2017

El cine documental contemporáneo sigue buscando vías innovadoras para construir subjetividades. La propuesta que aquí se trae es de dos realizadores estadounidenses, Joshua Oppenheimer y Christine Cynn, junto a otro que custodia con recelo su identidad y figura en los créditos como Anonymous. Interesa apreciar cómo un proceso investigativo en una zona donde pulula la impunidad, como es el territorio de Indonesia, puede poner (muchas décadas después) ante la comunidad internacional los efectos de un genocidio orquestado por sendas fuerzas económico-políticas y llevado a cabo por los ejecutores, como Anwar Congo y Herman Koto, líderes de gánsteres y grupos paramilitares que siguen teniendo en la actualidad nexos con el gobierno democrático vigente. El presente documento revisa el documental danés The Act of Killing (2012) para observar dispositivos de violencia y las cercanías existentes en la configuración de los actos violentos a partir de representaciones e imaginarios extrapolados y reproducidos en medios de comunicación y (en ocasiones) artísticos como el cine y la televisión. También se pregunta qué papel tienen las víctimas en la cinta en tanto no son referenciadas de manera directa, más bien parecen invisibilizadas mientras se les otorga un poder descomunal a los victimarios.

Ante el panorama actual de implementación de los acuerdos de paz de la Habana, la sociedad colombiana atraviesa un momento histórico de esperanza e incertidumbre, en el cual es prioritario re-pensarnos la intervención en lo social. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo presentar un conjunto de perspectivas y desafíos para la intervención desde la socio-terapia con enfoque de acción sin daño, producto de un ejercicio de investigación cualitativa, con enfoque hermenéutico, bajo la modalidad de investigación documental y análisis de contenido, que plantea la reflexión del ejercicio profesional en la reparación integral de víctimas en el Distrito Capital. Como propuestas de hallazgos se plantea la importancia de re-significar los impactos del conflicto armado desde intervenciones profesionales ético-políticas, en las que se aborde el manejo de las emociones, lo que permitirá contribuir a garantizar los derechos de todos los ciudadanos, movilizando sus recursos y capacidades, desde la perspectiva de construcción democrática de la paz. Se identifica la importancia de pensar el lugar del autocuidado  y la reflexividad del profesional en los procesos de intervención con víctimas, debido a los riesgos emocionales que genera este escenario social.

Climate change may influence the composition of plant communities by affecting the reproduction, growth, establishment and local extinction of plant species. Predicting the effect of climate change may provide insight into the impact and relationship between weather pattern and flowering phenology in long term studies. Pollen viability is one important factor of reproduction. Pollen viability is essential for a good fruit set. The study is undertaken to evaluate the influence of temperature and rainfall fluctuation pattern on floral phenology and pollen viability in the restricted distribution of the plant Ehretia pubescens Benth. Field observation on floral phenology has revealed changes occurring in the pollen viability with the change of temperature and rainfall. The plants show drought resistant; however, it is observed that it blooms immediately after the rainfall. Change in the rainfall pattern results in change in flowering pattern. On the natural habitat fruit set is a good indicating of good germinability of pollen grain in vivo. In vitro pollen germinability is less efficient for this species as supported by the data.

The intent of this paper is to discuss the survival of the shophouses in the historic city of Malacca based on the research on the perceptions of the users, site observation and available documents. The findings of the research suggested that the shophouses were the most visited places. The users had both positive and negative perceptions of the shophouses in terms of comfort, circulation and other aspects that relate to shopping activities. The information can be used as a guide to ensure the continued use of the shophouses as the setting for current and future activities.
Analiza widoczności z wykorzystaniem lotniczego skaningu laserowego jako wskaźnik walorów krajobrazowych na przykładzie Kopca Kościuszki w Krakowie
Authors: Piskorski Radosław
Published: June 2017

Ocena wrażeń związanych z obserwacją krajobrazu towarzyszy człowiekowi od niemalże początków dziejów ludzkości. Badania związane z analizą walorów obserwowanej przestrzeni są istotnym zagadnieniem dla architektów krajobrazu i urbanistów. W niniejszej pracy podjęto ten problem badawczy, skupiając się na wykorzystaniu narzędzia, jakim są analizy widoczności. Wykorzystują one numeryczne modele pokrycia terenu (NMPT) do określenia obsza- rów widocznych i niewidocznych z danego punktu obserwacyjnego. Dla analiz krajobrazu ważne jest, aby modele te przedstawiały obszar o dużej powierzchni. W związku z tym faktem, NMPT utworzono w oparciu o chmury punk- tów, pochodzące z lotniczego skaningu laserowego. Wykorzystano model w postaci regularnej siatki punktów (GRID), o rozdzielczości geometrycznej wynoszącej 1 m. Analizę widoczności przeprowadzono w oparciu o algorytm viewshed, który umożliwia definiowanie parametrów związanych z obserwatorem (pole widzenia, wysokość itp.). Jako punkt ob- serwacyjny wybrano Kopiec Kościuszki – jeden z najwyższych punktów widokowych Krakowa. W wyniku otrzymano mapę binarną, przedstawiającą obszary widoczne i niewidoczne. W oparciu o znajomość krajobrazu miasta wybrano kilka punktów, których widoczność w pozytywny sposób wpływa na walory widokowe i ma dominujący wpływ na obserwowany krajobraz. Na podstawie weryfikacji, dokonanej na bazie zdjęć fotograficznych, oceniono skuteczność analizy widoczności w wiernej prezentacji rzeczywistości. Stwierdzono pewne niedociągnięcia zaproponowanej me- tody, związane z uproszczeniami metodologicznymi (m.in. brak uwzględniania czynników atmosferycznych) lub wynikające ze zgeneralizowanej postaci modelu (prezentacja drzew). Nie umniejsza to jednak w znaczący sposób jej przydatności do analiz walorów widokowych. Przede wszystkim zapewniają one obiektywizm oceny, który jest uza- leżniony od rodzaju zaimplementowanego algorytmu (zaawansowania zastosowanej metodyki).

Background and objectives

Frailty is common among patients on hemodialysis and associated with adverse outcomes. However, little is known about changes in frailty over time and the factors associated with those changes.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

To address these questions, we examined 762 participants in the A Cohort to Investigate the Value of Exercise/Analyses Designed to Investigate the Paradox of Obesity and Survival in ESRD cohort study, among whom frailty was assessed at baseline and 12 and 24 months. We used ordinal generalized estimating equations analyses and modeled frailty (on a scale from zero to five possible components) and death during follow-up.

Results

The mean frailty score at baseline was 1.9, and the distribution of frailty scores was similar at each evaluation. However, most participants’ scores changed, with patients improving almost as often as worsening (overall change, 0.2 points per year; 95% confidence interval, 0.1 to 0.3). Hispanic ethnicity (0.6 points per year; 95% confidence interval, 0.0 to 1.1) and diabetes (0.7 points per year; 95% confidence interval, 0.3 to 1.0) were associated with higher frailty scores and higher serum albumin concentration with lower frailty scores (−1.1 points per g/dl; 95% confidence interval, −1.5 to −0.7). In addition, patients whose serum albumin increased over time were less likely to become frail, with each 1-g/dl increase in albumin associated with a 0.4-point reduction in frailty score (95% confidence interval, −0.80 to −0.05). To examine the underpinnings of the association between serum albumin and frailty, we included serum IL-6, normalized protein catabolic rate, and patient self-report of hospitalization within the last year in a second model. Higher IL-6 and hospitalization were statistically significantly associated with worse frailty at any point and worsening frailty over time, whereas normalized protein catabolic rate was not independently associated with frailty.

Conclusions

There was substantial year to year variability in frailty scores, with approximately equal numbers of patients improving and worsening. Markers of inflammation and hospitalization were independently associated with worsening frailty. Studies should examine whether interventions to address inflammation or posthospitalization rehabilitation can improve the trajectory of frailty.

Influence of External Sources of Funding on Corporate Financial Policies in a Pre-Financial Crisis Period in South Africa—A Case Study of Mauritian Enterprises
Authors: Prayagsing Chakeel , Jankee Kheswar
Published: June 2017

A number of scholars have been motivated to study the manner to which firms adjust their corporate finance strategies in light of the availability and easiness of accessing external sources of funding. Till recently, researchers have also been interested to analyse the external factors that allow firms to relax their fixed budget and the consequent impact on corporate strategies. These mainly include alterations in the composition of their funding and the second round effects on other corporate decisions such as on investment projects and their dividend policies. External financing can be assessed both from a policy perspective, i.e., via financial liberalisation policies, as well as other development in the financial sector such as availability of alternative bases of finance, both from banks and non-banks. It will thus be pertinent to examine the impact of FL policies as well as availability of financial resources on the capital structure of Mauritian firms and their investment decisions in a post financial liberalization period. A judicious investigation is undertaken and the empirical soundness of our different formulations tested with the techniques of panel data and GMM estimates. We compare and contrast the results in the 7 different sectors notably banking, insurance, leasing, hotel, oil, retail/distributive trade and the construction industry. For a better analysis, the full sample of firms is divided into several subsamples as follows: top 100 companies, firms in group-structure, those which are not in group structures, local firms, international firms, firms with good banking ties, those with good and poor corporate governance, listed and unlisted firms. By employing different econometric investment models, we found that all indices of FL, including the index of money market liberalisation, index of capital account liberalisation and overall financial liberalisation index have do not have any influence on private investment behaviour. In contract, higher amount of money in circulation, bank credit, leasing activities and subsidised financing from the Development bank have a positive impact on private investment expenditures. Development in the financial sector in terms of credit facilities offered by insurance companies, venture capitals and the stock market activities have not been effective in inducing firms to increase their investment portfolios.

Published: June 2017

Do podstawowych cech współczesnej gospodarki należą zróżnicowanie prze­strzenne i jej zmienność w czasie. Obserwuje się, że jedne regiony i kraje rozwijają się szyb­ciej, inne wolniej. Ramy teoretyczne badania ich rozwoju określa koncepcja peryferyjności regionalnej. Nawiązując do tej koncepcji, w artykule poddano ocenie możliwości rozwoju województwa lubuskiego. W badaniach empirycznych uwzględniono 39 wskaźników diagnostycznych opisujących następujące grupy uwarunkowań: położenie geograficzne i system osadniczy, gospodarkę i jej strukturę, czynniki demograficzno-społeczne, infrastrukturę regionu. Wykorzystując dane za 2014 rok, przeprowadzono analizę rozwoju województwa na tle gospodarki polskiej z uwzględnieniem wybranych aspektów rozwoju obszarów wiejskich. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań wskazują, że w wielu przypadkach województwo lubuskie charakteryzują procesy typowe dla regionów peryferyjnych.
Real exchange rate volatility and exports: A study for four selected commodity exporting countries
Authors: Mordecki Gabriela , Miranda Ronald
Published: June 2017

Commodity exports depend on global demand and prices, but the increasing volatility of real exchange rates (RER) introduces an additional factor. Thus, this paper studies the RER volatility dynamics, estimated through GARCH and IGARCH models for Brazil, Chile, New Zealand, and Uruguay from 1990 to 2013. We study the impact of RER volatility on total exports using Johansen?s methodology, including proxies for global demand and international prices. The results suggest that exports depend positively on global demand and international prices for all countries; however, conditional RER volatility resulted significant and negative only for Uruguay, in the short- and long-run.
How Political Candidates' Use of Facebook Relates to the Election Outcomes
Authors: Lin Hsin-Chen
Published: June 2017

This paper examines the relationship between political candidates' use of Facebook and their election outcomes (vote share and election success). The use of social media in political marketing campaigns has grown dramatically over the past few years. It is also expected to become even more critical to future political campaigns, as it creates two-way communication and engagement that stimulates and fosters candidates' relationships with their supporters. Online Facebook data were acquired for all 84 candidates running in a municipal election in Taiwan. Results suggest that a candidate's Facebook presence, the type of account they use, the authentication of the account, and the number of online fans they have are related to their election outcomes.
ESTRELLA DE LA MAÑANA DE JACOBO FIJMAN: POESÍA Y APOCALIPSIS
Authors: Lindstrom Naomi
Published: June 2017

This study proposes a reading of the ostensibly Catholic poetry of the Jewish Argentine poet Jacobo Fijman (1898-1970) in his Estrella de la mañana (1931) as a modernized, eclectic, and idiosyncratic example of the apocalyptic genre. Despite the strong intertextuality with the book of Revelation, the feature that mostly sets the poems of Estrella apart from traditional apocalyptic discourse, and indeed from visionary or mystical expression in general, is the self-characterization of the speaking subject as an entity endowed with divine attributes.

AbstractCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is social responsibility on the community and environment out responsibility economical. Globally understanding of CSR formulated through ISO 26000 cover 7 the main issues, one of the point related to the issues employment in the implementation of the social responsibility. This not yet accommodated in UUTK, which the contents substance the act of has not managed about the fulfillment of labor rights that uses the application of social responsibility. Based on the Regulation the Government Number 47 years 2012 about Social Responsibility Environment Company, determine that “obligation CSR as carried out at inside and outside the company”. Phrases ”at inside in the the company” can be seen as the parties has an interest in the company, one of them is the workers/labor. Therefore to realize prosperous labors, besides the fulfillment of rights has been agreed upon in a work with, the company also has an obligation to implement CSR for labors. As guarantees laws against the labor rights. Keywords: Urgent, Corporate Social Responsibility, Labor Rights AbstrakCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) adalah tanggung jawab sosial terhadap masyarakat dan lingkungan di luar tanggung jawab ekonomis. Secara global pemahaman mengenai CSR dirumuskan melalui ISO 26000 yang mencakup 7 isu pokok, salah satu poinnya menyangkut masalah ketenagakerjaan dalam penerapan social responsibility. Hal ini belum terakomodasi di dalam UUTK maupun UUPT, yang isi substansi undang-undang ini belum mengatur mengenai pemenuhan hak-hak pekerja yang menggunakan penerapan social responsibility. Berdasarkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 47 Tahun 2012 tentang Tanggung Jawab Sosial Lingkungan Perusahaan, menentukan bahwa “Kewajiban CSR sebagaimana dilaksanakan baik di dalam maupun di luar lingkungan Perseroan”. Frasa “di dalam lingkungan Perseroan” dapat dimaknai sebagai para pihak yang memiliki kepentingan di perusahaan, salah satunya yaitu para tenaga kerja. Maka dari itu untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan tenaga kerja, selain pemenuhan hak-hak yang telah disepakati di dalam perjanjian kerja bersama, perusahaan juga memiliki kewajiban untuk melaksanakan CSR bagi tenaga kerja. Sebagai bentuk jaminan hukum terhadap hak-hak tenaga kerja. Kata Kunci: Urgensi, Corporate Social Responsibility, Hak-Hak Tenaga Kerja
