An Organizational Trauma Intervention
Authors: Kılıç Bülent
Published: January 2017

The aim of this chapter is to describe a trauma experienced among blue collar employees at the XYZ car factory in Turkey. Demonstrations led to a halt of production after the representative union signed higher salary at another factory. After the consensus among the parties the production was restarted. However, the trauma and its symptoms emerged. Conflicts and polarization rose among the workers and the employer decided to conduct an intervention program. This study focuses on the pre-intervention, pilot intervention and main intervention programs. Descriptive quotations related to the trauma and the implications of the intervention program are discussed in the light of a theoretical framework. In the present paper, a brief background of the automotive industry and labor unions will be presented. The theoretical perspective is put forward, the implemented program is described, and the descriptive findings are presented then the findings and implications are discussed.
The Role of Leaders in Facilitating Healing After Organizational Trauma
Authors: Byrd-Poller Lynda , Farmer Jennifer L. , Ford Valerie
Published: January 2017

Effective 21st century organizations build cultures that adapt to an unpredictable and changing environment. However, organizational change can be traumatic. This chapter endeavors to make a contribution to knowledge about organizational trauma and leader behaviors - specifically what leaders can do when there are signs of trauma in the organization due to organizational change. Trauma is a psychosocial response to a perceived or actual event beyond one's control that results in personal feelings of overwhelming helplessness. Moreover, this chapter will examine how leader behaviors influence employee engagement and professional identity. The chapter provides background information about employee engagement in general and its positioning inside a broader framework called work-related well-being. The authors also link professional identity to the trauma of organizational change.

The study of the diagnostic accuracy of Infrared Thermal Imaging in the diagnosis of orthopaedic injuries in childhood has been motivated by the high incidence of these injuries throughout the world, being one of the most common reasons for urgent medical consultation. Diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries usually involves radiography, but this exposes children without fractures to unnecessary ionising radiation. This chapter assesses whether infrared thermography could provide a viable alternative in cases of trauma. To evaluate the accuracy of this technique new thermographic variables have been added to those commonly analysed, such as the extent of the injury and the difference in the size of the area that is at an equal temperature or higher than the maximum temperature of the healthy area. Non-linear cataloguing methods (decision tree models) have also been applied. With the protocol presented, infrared thermal imaging had a sensitivity of 0.91, a specificity of 0.88 and a negative predictive value of 0.95 for diagnosing musculoskeletal injuries.

Published: January 2017

Laboratory animals provide important models for studying human diseases, including many types of cancer. Mice are among the most commonly used laboratory animals, allowing for the study of carcinogenic agents, cancer development and for testing innovative preventive and therapeutic strategies. Thus, monitoring angiogenesis in animal models is a major goal for cancer research. Among the currently available imaging techniques, thermography is a useful approach for studying the superficial vascularization of cancer, based on their heat emissions. At this chapter emphasis is placed on thermography and its applications on laboratory animals, in comparison with other available and applicable imaging techniques. In conclusion, thermography may be usefully applied to the study of cancer vascularization in animal models, particularly when using laboratory rodents such as mice. Care is needed in adapting existing approaches to the specificities of each animal species.
The Interactive Approach to Exploring Value Co-Creation
Authors: Golan Maya
Published: January 2017

Service dominant logic (S-D logic) is a concept that has been criticized for not adopting an interactive approach to some of its fundamental premises (Vargo & Lusch, 2016). Recently, S-D logic has been modified to reflect interactive dimensions and, in particular, the construct of value co-creation (Vargo & Lusch, 2016). These modifications suggest that the service-provider?customer dynamics cannot be fully understood without utilizing interaction terminology and research methodology that afford an opportunity to study the domain from a dyadic point of view. In this chapter, Symbolic Interactionism (SI) and Social Exchange Theory (SET) perspectives are espoused in order to explore the construct of value co-creation as a dynamic qualitative process or a stable quantitative outcome, respectively, the challenges, advantages, and limitations of applying these perspectives are discussed.

Authors: Mukherjee Tanushri , Nathawat-Aibas S. S.
Published: January 2017

The Chapter focuses on the importance of Value Co-Creation as a major Corporate Principle behind successful Corporate Governance practice of an organization. This chapter besides emphasizing on the trend of Innovation and Participatory Management as the success mantra for every business organization, also focuses on the role of Public Relations as a major means to achieve this Corporate Principle. To describe the growing trend of today's service sector industries giving more importance to Value Co-Creation as an emerging concept in Business, Marketing and Innovation Management and Public Relations becoming one of the most sought after functions in an organization towards the achievement of Stakeholder Participation and Stakeholder Satisfaction, the Chapter makes a detail study of the Public Relations Office of a very renowned hospital of global repute and its contribution in building relations with the stakeholders of the hospital leading to its smooth functioning and generation of Value Co-Creation.
Co-Creating Value Derivations in a Service System Journey
Authors: Badinelli Ralph D.
Published: January 2017

Recent literature on the topic of defining and measuring value has revealed many perspectives and limitations of conventional views of value and value creation. From these perspectives, service innovators have adopted the practice of specifying value propositions as a precondition to providing service. In this chapter we posit a new model of value propositions which, among other disruptive changes, precludes the definition of the value proposition prior to a service execution. Instead, we assert that the value derivation is co-created and emerges through the service journey. Furthermore, although a precise definition of value remains elusive, there are some generic dimensions to value that can be incorporated in the design of a service system so that a value derivation can be co-created through the service journey as value itself is co-created or anticipated.
An Analysis of the Agile Theory and Methods in the Light of the Principles of the Value Co-Creation
Authors: Verlaine Bertrand
Published: January 2017

The traditional methods for managing projects, i.e., the methods based on the Waterfall model, consider a project as successful if the initial commitments are respected at the end of the project. This means that the value provided to the stakeholders is evaluated according to the fulfilment of a contract originally signed. In this chapter, the author discusses the notion of value and value co-creation in the scope of the project management with a focus on the computing industry. Indeed, a promising theory for managing software implementation projects, called the Agile theory, seems to comply with some principles of the value co-creation. The Agile theory is first compared to the traditional project management frameworks and, then, to the principles of the value co-creation. Lastly, a review of the most used agile methods is proposed. This helps the reader to choose an agile method which is the most compliant with the value co-creation principles.
Co-Creation and Healthcare Operations Management
Authors: Lillrank Paul
Published: January 2017

Service research has produced a definition that sees services as the integration of customers' and producers' resources to co-create value. Clear articulation of hitherto obscure phenomena enables sharper thinking on how such phenomena could be managed. This article discusses the implications of co-creation in healthcare, a sector of society that is perceived as difficult to manage. Co-creation is here understood as a variable that has different intensity and significance in different areas of healthcare. The Demand – Supply –based operating logic (DSO) is used to segment health service production into areas where co-creation appears in different roles.
Decadence in the Biographical Sense
Authors: Harman Graham
Published: January 2017

This article summarizes the author's 2016 book Immaterialism: Objects and Social Theory, outlining the book's five criticisms of actor-network theory (ANT) and its fifteen provisional rules of object-oriented method in social theory. The article also considers Bruno Latour's criticism of Immaterialism, in particular his view that such terms as “symbiosis” and “decadence” rely too heavily on an inappropriate “biological” metaphor that has no place in discussion objects in a wider sense. In response, the authors claims that the primary meaning of the symbiosis and decadence is not biological, but biographical.
Abiotic effects on the clear-winged grasshopper (Orthoptera: Acridae) and its fungal pathogen Entomophaga grylli (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae) in an intermountain bunch-grass prairie
Authors: Kistner Erica J. , Belovsky Gary E.
Published: January 2017

The grasshopper, Camnula pellucida Scudder (Orthoptera: Acridae), is a severe pest of small grains and rangeland forage in North America. In a field experiment using cages containing C. pellucida in northwestern Montana, United States of America, we manipulated exposure to the fungal entomopathogen, Entomophaga grylli Fresenius (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae) pathotype 1, temperature using small greenhouses, and moisture for the pathogen with water pillows. Treatment effects on fungal infection (mycosis) rates and grasshopper survivorship were assessed. Water pillows provided additional moist habitat for E. grylli without having an impact on grasshopper performance or the plant biomass and nitrogen content. Number of fungal spores, pathogen-induced mortality rates, and treatment effects on grass biomass and nitrogen content were also measured. Water pillows benefited the pathogen by increasing fungal spore levels by eightfold, which in turn shortened pathogen-exposed grasshopper survival time by half. In contrast, warming reduced fungal spore levels by 50% and subsequently reduced mortality from E. grylli by 67%. However, warmed pathogen-exposed grasshoppers did not exhibit enhanced survival, which may be due, in part, to intraspecific competition among the surviving grasshoppers.
Physiological and Perceived Effects of Forearm or Head Cooling During Simulated Firefighting Activity and Rehabilitation
Authors: Yeargin Susan , McKenzie Amy L. , Eberman Lindsey E. , Kingsley J. Derek , Dziedzicki David J. , Yoder Patrick
Published: January 2017

Context: Cooling devices aim to protect firefighters by attenuating a rise in body temperature. Devices for head cooling (HC) while firefighting and forearm cooling (FC) during rehabilitation (RHB) intervals are commonly marketed, but research regarding their efficacy is limited.

Objective: To investigate the physiological and perceived effects of HC and FC during firefighting drills and RHB.

Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Setting: Firefighter training center.

Patients or Other Participants: Twenty-seven male career firefighters (age = 39 ± 7 years; height = 169 ± 7 cm; weight = 95.4 ± 16.8 kg).

Intervention(s): Firefighters were randomly assigned to 1 condition: HC (n = 9), in which participants completed drills wearing a cold gel pack inside their helmet; FC (n = 8), in which participants sat on a collapsible chair with water-immersion arm troughs during RHB; or control (n = 10), in which participants used no cooling devices. Firefighters completed four 15-minute drills (D1−D4) wearing full bunker gear and breathing apparatus. Participants had a 15-min RHB after D2 (RHB1) and D4 (RHB2).

Main Outcome Measure(s): Change (Δ) in gastrointestinal temperature (TGI), heart rate (HR), physiological strain index, and perceived thermal sensation.

Results: The TGI increased similarly in the HC and control groups, respectively (D1: 0.57°C ± 0.41°C, 0.73°C ± 0.30°C; D2: 0.92°C ± 0.28°C, 0.85°C ± 0.27°C; D3: −0.37°C ± 0.34°C, −0.01°C ± 0.72°C; D4: 0.25°C ± 0.42°C, 0.57°C ± 0.26°C; P > .05). The ΔHR, Δ physiological strain index, and Δ thermal sensation were similar between the HC and control groups during drills (P > .05). The FC group demonstrated a decreased TGI compared with the control group after RHB1 (−1.61°C ± 0.35°C versus −0.23°C ± 0.34°C; P < .001) and RHB2 (−1.40°C ± 0.38°C versus −0.38°C ± 0.24°C; P < .001). The physiological strain index score decreased in the FC group compared with the control group after RHB1 (−7.9 ± 1.3 versus −2.6 ± 1.7; P < .001) and RHB2 (−7.9 ± 1.6 versus −3.6 ± 1.1; P < .001), but no differences between groups were demonstrated for ΔHR or Δ thermal sensation (P > .05).

Conclusions: The HC did not attenuate rises in physiological or perceptual variables during firefighting drills. The FC effectively reduced TGI and the physiological strain index score but not HR or thermal sensation during RHB. Clinicians and firefighters should not recommend the use of HC during firefighting but can consider using FC during RHB intervals in the field.

Stability with Initial Time Difference of Caputo Fractional Differential Equations by Lyapunov Functions
Authors: Agarwal Ravi P. , O'Regan Donal , Hristova Snezhana
Published: January 2017

The stability with initial data difference for nonlinear nonautonomous Caputo fractional differential equation is introduced. This type of stability generalizes the concept of stability in the literature and it enables us to compare the behavior of two solutions when both the initial times and initial values are different. Our theory is based on a new definition of the derivative of a Lyapunov like function along the given fractional equation. Comparison results for scalar fractional differential equations are presented and sufficient conditions for stability, uniform stability and asymptotic stability with initial time difference are obtained.
On Local Attractivity and Asymptotic Stability of Solutions of Nonlinear Volterra–Stieltjes Integral Equations in Two Variables
Authors: Rzepka Beata
Published: January 2017

In this paper we will study the existence of solutions depending on two variables of a nonlinear integral equation of Volterra–Stieltjes type in two variables, in the space of real functions which are continuous and bounded on the set

\mathbb{R}_{+}\times [0,M]

. Moreover, we will give the characterization of those solutions. In our study we will utilize the Darbo type of fixed point theorem and apply a measure of noncompactness. In the last section we present particular cases of the considered equation.
On the Persistence of the Eigenvalues of a Perturbed Fredholm Operator of Index Zero under Nonsmooth Perturbations
Authors: Benevieri Pierluigi , Calamai Alessandro , Furi Massimo , Pera Maria Patrizia
Published: January 2017

Let

H

be a real Hilbert space and denote by

S

its unit sphere. Consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem

Lx + \epsilon N(x) = \lambda x

, where

\epsilon, \lambda \in \mathbb R

,

L : H \to H

is a bounded self-adjoint (linear) operator with nontrivial kernel and closed image, and

N : H \to H

is a (possibly) nonlinear perturbation term. A unit eigenvector

\bar x \in S \cap \mathrm {Ker} L

of

L

(corresponding to the eigenvalue

\lambda = 0

) is said to be
persistent
if it is close to solutions

x \in S

of the above equation for small values of the parameters

\epsilon \neq 0

and

\lambda

. We give an affirmative answer to a conjecture formulated by R. Chiappinelli and the last two authors in an article published in 2008. Namely, we prove that, if

N

is Lipschitz continuous and the eigenvalue

\lambda = 0

has odd multiplicity, then the sphere

S\cap \mathrm {Ker} L

contains at least one persistent eigenvector. We provide examples in which our results apply, as well as examples showing that, if the dimension of

\mathrm {Ker} L

is even, then the persistence phenomenon may not occur.
New cloud parameterization with relative dispersion in CAM5.1: model evaluation and impacts on aerosol indirect effects
Authors: Xie Xiaoning , Zhang He , Liu Xiaodong , Peng Yiran , Liu Yangang
Published: January 2017

Abstract. Aerosol-induced increase of relative dispersion of cloud droplet size distribution ε exerts a warming effect and partly offsets the cooling of aerosol indirect radiative forcing (AIF) associated with increased droplet concentration by increasing the cloud droplet effective radius (Re) and enhancing the cloud-to-rain autoconversion rate (Au) (labeled as dispersion effect), which can help reconcile global climate models (GCMs) with the satellite observations. However, the total dispersion effects on both Re and Au are not fully considered in most GCMs, especially in different versions of the Community Atmospheric Model (CAM). In order to accurately evaluate the dispersion effect on AIF, the new complete cloud parameterizations of Re and Au explicitly accounting for ε are implemented into the CAM version 5.1 (CAM5.1), and a suite of sensitivity experiments is conducted with different representations of ε reported in literature. It is shown that the shortwave cloud radiative forcing is much better simulated with the new cloud parameterizations as compared to the standard scheme in CAM5.1, whereas the influences on longwave cloud radiative forcing and surface precipitation are minimal. Additionally, consideration of dispersion effect can significantly reduce the changes induced by anthropogenic aerosols in the cloud top effective radius and the liquid water path, especially in Northern Hemisphere. The corresponding AIF with dispersion effect considered can also be reduced substantially, by a range of 0.10 to 0.21 W m−2 at global scale, and by a much bigger margin of 0.25 to 0.39 W m−2 for the Northern Hemisphere in comparison with that fixed relative dispersion, mainly dependent on the change of relative dispersion and droplet concentrations (Δε / ΔNc).

Published: January 2017

Purpose

The role of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in patients with unresectable or medically inoperable cholangiocarcinoma remains unclear. We examined the efficacy and safety of SABR in this group of patients.

Methods

From January 2008 to December 2014, 15 patients with 17 lesions were included in this study. The lesions included 14 intrahepatic, 1 hilar, and 2 distal bile duct tumors. Three patients were classified as medically inoperable because of old age or multiple comorbidities. Tumors measured 0.8-13 cm (median, 3.6 cm). The median prescribed dose was 45 Gy delivered in 5 fractions over 5 consecutive days.

Results

The median follow-up period for surviving patients was 29.9 months. Objective responses were observed for 10 of 17 tumors (58.8%), including 3 complete responses (17.6%). The median survival duration was 12.6 months, and the 1- and 2-year overall survival rates were 50.3% and 14.4%, respectively. The 1- and 2-year in-field failure-free rates were 61.5% and 30.8%, respectively. For patients with biologically effective doses (BEDs) exceeding 75 Gy10, the 1- and 2-year overall survival rates were 58.3% and 33.3%, respectively, compared to 20.0% and 0%, respectively for those with BEDs lower than 75 Gy10. Radiation-induced liver disease did not develop in any patient. Acute toxicities were generally mild and tolerable.

Conclusions

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy could be an alternative treatment for unresectable or medically inoperable cholangiocarcinoma. Further dose escalation may be considered to optimize local control.
Understanding the Enterprise Culture Paradigm
Authors: Dodd Sarah Drakopoulou , Anderson Alistair R.
Published: January 2017

Although the UK's enterprise culture emanates from the Thatcher era, critiques of current (and proposed) industrial policies and initiatives make the observation that the current Blairite enterprise policies are remarkably similar in their ideological underpinning to those of the Thatcherite 1980s. The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual explanation for two seemingly irreconcilable phenomena: the persistence of the enterprise culture as a dominant UK model for economic development against the very limited success this model has enjoyed in achieving its objectives. To do so the authors first explore the concept of culture and then develop an ideal typology of the broad bundle of ideas and ideologies that have come to be known as the ‘enterprise culture’. This is deconstructed to test its rigour and to explore paradox and appropriateness as a contemporary economic development model. Broadly, they conclude that the failure of enterprise culture policies to impact upon the life and work of the small firm owner-manager are culturally-based, due, not least, to substantive differences in the material ‘ways of doing’ ascribed to enterprise adherents and small firm owner-managers. Given that entrepreneurship, as an approach to business, has also long been recommended as a cure for the ills of larger firms, particularly by government agencies, the coherence of the enterprise culture paradigm stretches beyond the small firm sector. Furthermore, the authors hope to contribute to the wider debate concerning the impact of management cultures on organizational performance and, in particular, their relationship with non-managerial cultures in the surrounding society, including the political and rhetorical spheres.

Published: January 2017

Introduction: We sought to determine whether patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) in the context of disseminated cancer have higher 30-day complications.Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. Men undergoing RP (from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2014) for prostate cancer were identified and stratified by presence (n=97) or absence (n=27 868) of disseminated cancer. The primary outcome was major complications (death, re-operation, cardiac or neurologic events) within 30 days of surgery. Secondary outcomes included pulmonary, infectious, venous thromboembolic, and bleeding complications; prolonged length of stay; and concomitant procedures (bowel-related, cystectomy, urinary diversion, and major ureteric reconstruction). Odds ratios (OR) for each complication were calculated using univariable logistic regression.Results: We did not identify a difference in major complication rates (OR 2.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.71‒7.16). Patients with disseminated cancer had increased risk of venous thromboembolic events (OR 3.30, 95% CI 1.04‒10.48) and transfusion (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.18‒5.05), but similar odds of pulmonary and infectious complications and length of stay. Bowel procedures were rare, however, a significantly higher proportion of patients with disseminated cancer required bowel procedures (2.1% vs. 0.3%; p=0.03). Patients with disseminated cancer undergoing RP had greater comorbidities and higher predicted probability of morbidity and mortality. This study is limited by its retrospective design, lack of cancer-specific variables, and prostatectomyspecific complications.Conclusions: RP in the context of disseminated cancer may be associated with increased perioperative complications. Caution should be exercised in embarking on this practice outside of clinical trials.
Natural Health Products: Practices, Perceptions and Training Needs of Registered Dietitians
Authors: Dussault Valerie , Marquis Marie
Published: January 2017

Canadians have access to thousands of authorized natural health products (NHPs) and are also surrounded by many unauthorized NHPs, which may place them at risk of adverse effects. Consumers expect health professionals, including nutritionists, to be a source of information on NHPs. Current training programs suggest that registered dietitians may have little knowledge about NHPs. The Ordre professionnel des diététistes du Quebec (OPDQ) sent an electronic survey to registered dietitians who are members of the OPDQ to document their use, referral habits and sources of information for NHPs. The survey also explored respondents’ perceptions of professional roles regarding NHPs as well as their perceptions of the effectiveness of specific NHPs. It measured their need for training on specific NHPs and on the health conditions that may be improved by NHPs. Data were analyzed with SPSS, through which descriptive statistics were obtained. A qualitative analysis was performed on the open-ended questions from the survey. A total of 295 questionnaires were analyzed. Among nutritionists, 93% have received requests for information about NHPs, 91% use or have used NHPs and 94% have recommended them. Also, 95% need training on NHPs and for various health considerations. Overall, they have a positive perception of their roles regarding this subject, with 77% indicating that the nutritionist should be a reliable source of information for NHPs. The major findings of our study are that the roles of Quebec nutritionists relating to NHPs are not clearly defined. Nutritionists need training on NHPs to provide sound nutritional advice for NHP users and, therefore, should develop a new area of nutritional practice.

Published: January 2017

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between individuals’ attitudes and marketing knowledge sharing. This research is an applied objective research and data collection method of description-correlation nature the subjects under study by this research are employees of Arak Shaz and petrochemical industry. The sample size was estimated 90 people. The method is stratified random sampling. A standard questionnaire was used to collect data. Marketing knowledge sharing questionnaire of Moghimi and Ramazani (2011) contains 17 items and attitudes questionnaire of Hamidizadeh (2010) contains 5 items. Logical validity (face and content) of questionnaires was reviewed and approved through university professors and several experts of this industry. Also construct validity was reviewed and approved by confirmatory factor analysis using AMOS software. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 7.0 was obtained for variables that indicate internal consistency of items and acceptable reliability of the questionnaire. The research hypothesis test using univariate linear regression was performed with application of software SPSS. The results showed that, given that the t-statistic value is less than -1.96 (t=-2.39), the relationship between two variables, attitudes and marketing knowledge sharing was significant at the 5% error level (P-Value<0.05). So, the relationship between marketing knowledge sharing and attitudes is positive and direct. This means that people in the organization do not have positive tendency and attitude to share their knowledge with others and negative attitudes regarding the sharing of knowledge has had more impact on staff. Standard regression coefficient (0.15) also specified the share of independent variable in explaining the changes of dependent variable so that for every one unit increase in negative attitude of individuals, knowledge sharing decreases 0.15 percent.

The present study describes the social and educational characteristics of the Ecuadorian Amazon population. For this purpose, the data obtained from the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment of 2014 was used in this research. A descriptive statistical analysis presents the frequency, the percentages and the graphs of the variables related to the area in which people live, gender, age, ethnic self-identification, language spoken, marital status and level of instruction. Other variables are the use of computer and internet, place of birth, reason why they live in the Amazon region, type of activity or inactivity, how do they feel in their jobs, and groups of occupation. Also, a factorial analysis was used to show the main and most important criteria of differentiation and the the clusters of people with similar characteristics.

Comparative Legislative Drafting: Comparing Across Legal Systems

This article is an original, first attempt at establishing a list of comparative criteria for the comparative study of legislative drafting or aspects of legislative drafting between the two families of legal systems: common law and civil law. Because of the limited bibliography in the field of legislative drafting – let alone in comparative legislative drafting between common law and civil law systems – this article adds to existing scholarship on the field aiming to become a basis for further comparative research in legislative drafting. The list of criteria can be used on its own for different jurisdictions within the same family of legal systems, or the two lists can be used to juxtapose civil and common law experiences in legislative drafting. As this is the first time that such lists of comparative criteria in legislative drafting have been produced, it should be stressed that the lists are certainly not exhaustive. The aim of this article is to generate comparative research in legislative drafting, and so, inevitably, such comparative research might add or even subtract criteria from the lists depending on results.

Twitter use by community policing officers and citizens’ safety perceptions

This article reports on a conceptual model that provides insight into the relationship between Twitter use by community policing officers and citizens’ safety perceptions. The model has been tested using data from a relatively large-scale survey study and these results are supporting the model. Furthermore, a small impact of Twitter use has been found on feelings of safety and judgments about the police. To confirm these findings, further research on a larger scale is necessary. To find out more about the exact positive and negative effects of Twitter use by community policing officers, a more experimental design is required.

This report compiles the current information on morphology, genetics, stable isotopes, acoustics and parasites of bottlenose dolphins along the Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SWAO), which includes waters of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. The authors also briefly review the proposed taxonomy for the genus along the Atlantic coast of South America.
Occurrence of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Río Negro Estuary, Argentina, and their mid-distance movements along the northeastern Patagonian coast
Authors: Failla Mauricio , Seijas Verónica A. , Vermeulen Els
Published: January 2017

A systematic study was carried out on bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Río Negro Estuary (RNE), Patagonia, Argentina, to analyze their occurrence and activity patterns in this region. The photo-identification data of this study was further compared to data from an adjacent region to gain information on the animals' movements along the northeastern Patagonian coast. Information was gathered through land-based observations between the months of March and July of 2008 up to 2011. Data on dolphin activity patterns were collected via an ad libitum focal-group sampling mode. At the same time, dorsal fin images were obtained from as many dolphins as possible for identification and subsequent re-identification of individuals. Total effort equaled 188h, resulting in 58h of observation of 124 dolphin groups [sightings per unit effort (SPUE) = 0.66 group/h]. Most of the groups observed contained between one and five individuals, and two main activity states could be determined, namely traveling (65%) and foraging (26%). The photo-identification effort, which started opportunistically in 2006, resulted in a catalogue of 17 individual dolphins, with a total mean re-identification rate of nine days (max. = 24 days). When comparing these pictures to the existing catalogue of Bahía San Antonio (BSA; approximately 200km west from the study area) dorsal fins of 15 individuals could be matched and most (n = 12) could be subsequently re-identified in both areas, indicating their long distance movements along the northeastern Patagonian coast during the austral autumn months. This season coincides with the lowest dolphin abundance and feeding activity in BSA. This study indicates that bottlenose dolphins enter the RNE to forage at least during autumn. It further suggests that the search for food resources is the main trigger for their movement patterns along the northeastern Patagonian coast during this season, at least for certain individuals. More research is needed to accurately confirm these hypotheses.
Intangible Delicacies
Authors: Herzfeld Michael
Published: January 2017

The intention of the author of this article is to worry away at the limits of the concept of intangible culture. In pursuing this line of critique, he wonders how an international organization such as UNESCO, which is not only composed of nation-states but depends on their cooperation to get its work done, can address the status of cultural practices that are central to national self-recognition but that these nation-states do not want to admit to each other. These are the practices that he associates with the concept of “cultural intimacy” – the “dirty laundry” that every nation-state confronts, denies, and yet, for the most part, guiltily enjoys. The space of cultural intimacy includes all those aspects of cultural and social life that are locally recognized but externally suppressed. In virtually every country, there are deeply embedded and widely popular practices that do not seem to conform to a largely Western-inspired and globally dominant canon of respectability. These practices arguably represent the most intractable challenge to formal, state-led representations of culture.
Relationship Between Prosthodontic Treatment Awareness with Number and Position of Tooth Loss
Authors: Elisa Merry , Odang Roselani W
Published: January 2017

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the status of tooth loss and perception of patients’ awareness about prosthodontic treatment in adults with emphasis on number of tooth loss and their position in mouth. Edentulism and partial tooth loss still represent a significant health concern among Indonesian adults. Individual perception of potential reason of treatment selection was the most consequential determinants of patients’ decisions to treat condition of tooth loss, predicated on level of patient’s awareness.

Methods: This study was done using a convenience sampling on patient age of 20 years and above with one or more missing teeth except the third molars. Patients were clinically evaluated and answered questionnaire about self-awareness of prosthodontic treatment. This research design was cross sectional and analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney test (α = 5%).

Results: Clinical factors like number and position of tooth loss and other socio-demographic factor like age were associated to patient’s awareness of prosthodontic treatment.

Conclusion: Based on these evidences, we suggested that in general, the dentist must spend more time to increase patient awareness on the consequences of tooth loss to motivate patient regarding the need of a denture and leading them to demand prosthodontic treatment.

Published: January 2017

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease causing inflammation, pain and tissue damages. The systemic steroid and antimalarial agents are SLE’s standard therapies. The challenges in achieving significant result include the extended period of treatment. Therefore, the patients' compliance to the dentist’s treatment is crucial. There are some conditions where patient's compliance is difficult to obtain, for example in patients with mental retardation. To be able to receive information and treatment well, it takes an important role of caregiver to communicate and to assist the daily care.

Objective: To give an overview of management challenges of a case of SLE in a patient with mental retardation in which requires good cooperation with the caregiver to obtain optimal results.

Case report and management: A 22-year-old female patient with mental retardation with her caregiver, counseled from the Department of Dermatology and Venereology of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) with a working diagnosis of Bullous Systemic Lupus Erythematous. She had been on three years’ treatment for blisters all over her body. Condition improvement of the skin had occurred a week before the visit, accompanied by a history of canker sores on her lips and mouth for three days. Clinical features on lips and mouth showed the oral manifestations of bullous SLE. Topical corticosteroids, alternately with saline, as well as clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream for topical treatment in lips, have given for therapies. The caregiver has been educated to help the patient for maintaining her oral hygiene and using her drugs on a regular basis. Improving the teeth and mouth condition and patient compliance levels seen in control visits.

Conclusion: Effective communication, information, and education to the caregiver are critical in the management of SLE patient with mental retardation. Establishment of trust and equality goals of care is necessary to overcome the limitations of communication and patient compliance in this case.
