The Effectiveness of Warning Labels for Consumers: A Meta-Analytic Investigation into Their Underlying Process and Contingencies
Authors: Purmehdi Mostafa , Legoux Renaud , Carrillat François , Senecal Sylvain
Published: April 2016

Although several meta-analyses have been conducted on the effectiveness of warning labels, many questions regarding their effectiveness remain unanswered. The authors identify 243 effect sizes from 66 primary articles, more than three times the number of effect sizes included in the most comprehensive meta-analysis to date. This updated and substantially larger data set shows that label effectiveness is contingent on the type of expected behavioral outcome. Labels aimed at moderation/cessation display a generally diminishing cascade of effects from attention (r = .32), comprehension (r = .37), recall (r = .31), judgment (r = .22), and behavior (r = .18). Labels targeting safe use show stronger effect sizes for behavior (r = .39) despite displaying a downward trend for attention (r = .35), comprehension (r = .29), recall (r = .32), and judgment (r = .21). The authors also find evidence of increased effectiveness when preactivating the label by means of an integrated communication strategy (r = .49). In addition, the results show the impact of several contextual factors (e.g., social influence [r = .33] and exposure frequency [r = .12]).

Marketing and policy researchers aiming to increase the societal impact of their scholarship should engage directly with relevant stakeholders. For maximum societal effect, this engagement needs to occur both within the research process and throughout the complex process of knowledge transfer. The authors propose that a relational engagement approach to research impact complements and builds on traditional approaches. Traditional approaches to impact employ bibliometric measures and focus on the creation and use of journal articles by scholarly audiences, an important but incomplete part of the academic process. The authors recommend expanding the strategies and measures of impact to include process assessments for specific stakeholders across the entire course of impact, from the creation, awareness, and use of knowledge to societal impact. This relational engagement approach involves the cocreation of research with audiences beyond academia. The authors hope to begin a dialogue on the strategies researchers can use to increase the potential societal benefits of their research.

Characteristics of Children Reported to Child Protective Services for Medical Neglect
Authors: Fortin Kristine , Kwon Soyang , Pierce Mary Clyde
Published: April 2016

OBJECTIVES:

Medical neglect can have serious consequences. There is little evidence base to guide medical neglect management and research. Our objective was to describe a group of children reported to child protective services (CPS) for medical neglect to define this population as well as identify prevention and intervention approaches.

METHODS:

This was a retrospective descriptive study of all patients at a pediatric hospital reported to CPS for medical neglect over a 6-year period. Data about health, health care, CPS involvement, and social history were obtained through medical record review.

RESULTS:

Of the 154 patients reported for medical neglect, 140 (91%) had chronic illness. The most common diagnoses were type 1 diabetes, organ transplantation, and prematurity-related conditions. Most patients (83%) were black or Hispanic and 90% were publically insured. More than half of patients (54%) had >1 CPS report during the study period. Almost all patients (88%) returned to the hospital for care subsequent to the medical neglect report. Risk factors for child maltreatment, family stressors in the year preceding the report, and practical barriers to care were documented in more than two-thirds of patients.

CONCLUSIONS:

Overall, children reported for medical neglect have serious chronic medical conditions. There is need and opportunity for improved interventions. Avenues for future study include interventions tailored to the underlying diagnosis, racial/ethnic disparities, effectiveness of CPS interventions, and targeted prevention for at-risk families with medically complex children.
What If the Prenatal Diagnosis of a Lethal Anomaly Turns Out to Be Wrong?

Published: April 2016

Advances in prenatal diagnosis create a unique set of clinical ethics dilemmas. Doctors routinely obtain genetic screening, radiologic images, and biophysical profiling. These allow more accurate diagnosis and prognosis than has ever before been possible. However, they also reveal a wider range of disease manifestations than were apparent when prenatal diagnosis was less sophisticated. Sometimes, the best estimates of prognosis turn out to be wrong. The infant’s symptoms may be less severe or more severe than anticipated based on prenatal assessment. We present a case in which a prenatal diagnosis was made of severe osteogenesis imperfecta, leading to a decision to induce delivery at 31 weeks. On postnatal evaluation, the infant’s disease did not appear to be as bad as had been anticipated. We discuss the ethical implications of such diagnostic and prognostic errors.
Maillard reaction products as markers of the durum wheat pasta manufacturing process: A commodity investigation
Authors: Testani E. , Giannetti V. , Boccacci Mariani M. , Mannino P.
Published: April 2016

In the present work, three volatile Maillard reaction products (maltol, furfuryl alcohol, and furfural) were considered for their supposed ability to act as process markers of dry durum wheat pasta. Hence, a commodity investigation was performed on Made in Italy pasta products and the HS-SPME/GC-MS technique was adopted to detect the target compounds in sixty samples. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate whether the relative abundance of the flavour compounds can differentiate pasta samples processed through mild technologies (traditional methods) from that submitted to intense thermal stress during their elaboration (industrial methods). Results showed that the analysed products were efficiently discriminated according to their claimed manufacturing method by maltol, furfuryl alcohol, and furfural, which thus can serve as reliable pasta process indicators.
The artist’s hand — When dematerialization becomes form
Authors: Székely Katalin
Published: April 2016

László Beke once said: ‘we can consider conceptual art as anti-painterly, or, anti-traditionalist art. For this reason, everyone, especially painters with a good perspective, had to decide for their own how to handle this. [...] The same problem occurred again at the beginning of the 80s when the same artists, who had become conceptual, had to decide whether to begin to paint again. [...] This can be described as the great conflict between traditional and conceptual art in general.’ This conflict that I would call La querelle des conceptuels et des traditionnels is presented in this paper through the work of the Hungarian artist Gyula Konkoly and his twofold, controversial relation to the tradition of painting and to conceptual thinking. Konkoly, a classically-trained painter, who is mainly known as a pop art artist and as one of the earliest protagonists of object art in Hungary, with his Manifesto from 1971/72, ceased every kind of ‘grand art’ activity for almost two decades, until the end of the Eighties, when he returned to painting.

In most of his works from the Sixties, it was the episteme of painting that he was dealing with. On the one hand, he quoted the great masters of art history in many of his paintings, using their works in a pop art context, pairing them with abstract, hardedge surfaces. On the other hand, as a skilled painter he inserted resin imprints of his own hand on the canvases that represented the notion of craftsmanship and also the idea of the ready-made. It was the motif of the skilled hand of the artist that had to be destroyed when he got involved in conceptual art and in anti-art activities. At the first Iparterv exhibition he presented his seminal work Cage: An Academic Study (1968). In an unrealized project for a solo exhibition it was also the artist’s hand that he planned to bury. By the deconstruction of the artist’s personality and by the symbolic destruction of the artist’s hand, the symbol of the mastery of his métier, Konkoly came to the conclusion that this process, the total dematerialization of art and art object has reached its end making every kind of artistic activity pointless.

The great paradigm shift of conceptual art thus led in Konkoly’s career also to a major turning point, to an almost two-decade long pause in his work. When returning to painting at the end of the Eighties, it was again, through his skilled artist’s hand with which he resumed his meditation on medium and métier, on colours and forms, and on the episteme of painting in general. Thus the thesis of this paper is that Konkoly’s work may be seen as a continuous and – almost – lifelong meditation on painting, on its basic structures, its relationship to its tradition and to the reality it expresses, and its epistemological value when compared with other, more abstract and philosophical, conceptual modes of art making.
Institutional collecting versus ‘live art’
Authors: Ingerle Petr
Published: April 2016

This paper focuses on the relation between the acquisition activity of the Moravian Gallery in Brno (officially founded in 1961) and the then current artistic production in the region (especially the program of the Brno House of Arts). While the collection of modern art — that originated before the official foundation of the gallery — was built in correlation with the current interwar exhibition activities of various art associations, in the 1960s the Gallery’s acquisition policy becomes selective. The reasons may be found in the diversification of modernity — personal preferences — political pressures — censorship — and/or the inability of the institution to deal with dematerialized art and newly emerging art forms. The text examines the position of the progressive trends of neo-avant-garde and conceptual art within the professional (institutionalized) art scene through specific examples of work, from the perspective of a significant Czech institution. Specifically, the essay deals with the works of art by Milan Grygar, Miroslav Sonny Halas and an informal group called ‘The Brno Bohemians.’ It also contains a brief excursus on a possible analogy between the authors of graphic scores in the Sixties and Seventies and the visuality of records and scores of Leoš Janáček, one of the most significant composers of the avant-garde.
Processing of composite diamond coating-based drawing die
Authors: Wei Shihua , Li Weimin
Published: April 2016

In this paper, the drawing die of cemented carbide wolfram carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) was taken as the substrate. It was preprocessed by metallographic sandpaper, acetone, deionized water, Murakami solution and aqua regia. Direct current magnetron sputtering was adopted to sputter a tantalum (Ta) interlayer in the bore of the drawing die. By using electron-assisted chemical vapor deposition, a micro/nanocomposite coating was deposited. The specimens were characterized by applying methods such as three-dimensional profilometry, Rockwell hardness tester, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The results indicated that the drawing die showed a very smooth coating surface and a compact, uniform structure; the grain size was <50 nm and the surface roughness was <10 nm. It can be inferred from the indentation tests that there was smaller internal stress in the coating and satisfactory adhesion force between the coating and the substrate. So the drawing die can satisfy the working requirement of drawing wires.

Audience as Community: Corporeal Knowledge and Empathetic Viewing
Authors: Wood Karen
Published: April 2016

This essay focuses on community in the form of audiences, and in particular, screendance audiences. A specific focus is given to a collection of screendance experiences from viewing a selection of contemporary dance films. The term screendance is used in this research as suggested by Douglas Rosenberg as "stories told by the body" and "not told by the body." What follows, for this essay, are theories borrowed from the discipline of audience and reception research detailing what we may perceive audiences to be and how the idea of 'audience' as a community may influence the way filmmakers approach the very audiences they hope to reach. Kinesthetic empathy will be used as a framework to understand the pleasures and displeasures that are experienced by the viewer from an embodied perspective. While considering kinesthetic empathy with audience and reception research, the main focus for this essay is nuancing the idea of audiences as a community that is enriched with corporeal knowledge. This knowledge reveals itself as empathetic and sympathetic viewing of the media.

Published: April 2016

BACKGROUND: Tuberculous meningitis is the most severe manifestation of tuberculosis. The diagnostic approach of tuberculous meningitis is difficult. Combination of clinical, laboratory and radiological criteria were used in diagnostic approach of tuberculous meningitis. Urinary mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan (LAM) antigen detection is a promising diagnostic tool. Detection of mycobacterial antigen in concentrated urine sample is predicted to improve the positivity rate of the qualitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) diagnostic tool. The purpose of this study is to examine the detection ability of a monoclonal antibody qualitative ELISA in concentrated and unconcentrated urine of tuberculous meningitis patients.METHODS: This research is a descriptive, crosssectionally designed. The study was conducted in the Clinical Pathology Department laboratory of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, in July-October 2014. A total of 27 patients diagnosed as tuberculous meningitis patients were included and the subjects were classified into possible and probable criteria according to consensus criteria. The subjects were classified as definite if the cerebrospinal fluid culture was positive for Mycobacterial tuberculosis growth. The subjects were examined for the presence of LAM in unconcentrated and concentrated urine with a monoclonal antibody qualitative ELISA method.RESULTS: Unconcentrated urinary LAM examination positivity was 0% while in concentrated urine was 14.8%. The positivity of concentrated urinary LAM were higher among the definite criteria group.CONCLUSION: Concentrating urine sample increase the positivity rate of urinary LAM detection with ELISA method as high as 14.8%. The urinary antigen detection is higher among the definite tuberculous meningitis patients.KEYWORDS: LAM, concentrated urine, tuberculous meningitis, qualitative ELISA

Published: April 2016

Classical swine fever (CSF) is a major hazardous disease to the pigs and as a dangerous epidemic; it causes a serious economic losses to the pig industry. Though, a national compulsory immunization of CSF vaccines had been carried out for a long time, scarce information can be got about the immune effect of CSF in Tibetan pigs. The present study was to investigate the seroprevalence of CSF in Tibetan pigs in Nyingchi area of Tibet, China. A total 454 samples were collected from November 2014 to January 2015 and were investigated through enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that 241 (53.1%, 95% CI 48.4-57.8) pigs were found to be positive for CSF with the further distribution of 53.3% (95% CI 46.8–59.6), 49.5% (95% CI 42.2-56.8) and 93.8% (95% CI 69.8-99.8) in Tibetan counties of Nyingchi, Mainling and Gongbo'gyamda, respectively. There was no significant difference in male (52.8%, 95% CI 46.4-59.1) and female pigs (50.0%, 95% CI 42.6-57.4). Though, 53.1% of the serum samples were tested out positive to CSF, only the seroprevalence of CSF in Tibetan pigs in Gongbo'gyamda were higher than 70% which was ruled by the government. The low seroprevalence of CSF in Tibetan pigs should arise a serious concern and effective methods should be taken, in order to prevent CSF infection effectively.
An Exploratory Study Of The Effects Of Online Course Efficiency Perceptions On Student Evaluation Of Teaching (SET) Measures
Authors: Estelami Hooman
Published: April 2016

One of the fundamental drivers of the growing use of distance learning methods in modern business education has been the efficiency gains associated with this method of educational delivery.  Distance methods benefit both students and educational institutions as they facilitate the processing of large volumes of learning material to overcome barriers related to time, geography and physical facility constraints.  Nevertheless, existing research has not examined the extent by which these efficiency gains, compared to traditional face-to-face teaching, are recognized by online students.  Moreover, the extent by which students’ perceptions of course efficiency affects other key educational measures, such as intent to take online courses in the future, and instructor and course ratings, has not been examined in current research.  In this paper, utilizing data from student evaluation of teaching (SET) surveys from multiple sections of three online marketing courses, the effects of perceived course efficiency on various SET measures are examined.  The results indicate, that contrary to popular belief, students who view online courses as efficient exhibit lower sentiments towards the course and the instructor, and are also academically weaker than other students.  The paper concludes with a discussion of the findings and future directions for research.

Authors: Golubeva Olga
Published: April 2016

FDI (foreign direct investment) of Swedbank in Ukraine is an example of unsuccessful investment in transition economies. The Case Study is presented in relation with Swedbank’s internationalization strategy and rapidly changing investment environment in transition economies and globally. Learning objectives include helping students to develop analytical skills in order to understand how political, economic, financial and social factors effect internalization strategy through FDI. The Case Study should help students to understand the importance of an appropriate long-term strategy of a firm entering transition economies, understand the investment environment of a foreign country and choose the best course of action for a distressed firm considering alternative scenarios. Lessons learned from the Case Study can be beneficial for students studying international business, but also for future decision-makers that would be acting in complex environments under rapidly changing situations. The author developed the Case from secondary sources: Swedbank’s annual reports and press-releases, information published by multilateral organizations and government agencies, research from investment banking houses and reputable news agencies. This Case is written solely for educational purposes and is not intended to analyze successful or unsuccessful internalization strategy through FDI in transition economies.
From Burdens To Benefits: The Societal Impact Of PDL-Enriched, Efficacy-Enhanced Educators

Published: April 2016

Societies continue to absorb increased burdens in cost for helping citizens unable to achieve at optimal levels.  Building on past research, we project educational benefits to offset current societal burdens through enhanced educator capabilities.  Studies reviewed show participation in a high-impact professional development and learning solution resulted in improved student performance and reduced dropout rates, reduced disciplinary rates and increased rates for college-bound, along with lower teacher turnover.  Computations show that generalization of such impacts should trade societal burdens for benefits at between $3.7 billion and $6.9 billion within the first year.  Cumulatively within 20 years the burdens converted to benefits are projected to exceed $85 billion.  Enhanced educator capabilities will substantively reduce needs and costs for societal programs, replaced with tangible benefits to all.

Educação como crítica de si: a trajetória de Friedrich Nietzsche
Authors: Mendonça Samuel
Published: April 2016

Este artigo apresenta a trajetória de Friedrich Nietzsche e coloca em relevo seu sofrimento como marca de uma concepção de educação que diz respeito à crítica de si. A experiência do sofrimento parece indicar a experiência do além do homem (Übermensch), da mesma forma que é por meio da vontade de potência (Der Wille zur Macht) que as contradições da vida podem ser revaloradas. Então, pensar Nietzsche e a educação reivindica a análise da dimensão individual, dado que este pensador viveu além de seu tempo e, por esta razão, sua concepção de educação é, igualmente, intempestiva. Se é possível empreender a crítica de si como tarefa educacional, talvez possamos argumentar, com Nietzsche, que a vida é vontade de potência e nada além disto.

Authors: Ngibad Khoirul
Published: April 2016

Electropolymerization of polypyrrole for determination of hydroquinone on screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was performed using cyclic voltammetry. Electropolymerization of polypyrrole on SPCE begins with determining the optimum conditions of cyclic voltammetry (working potential, scan rate, number of cycles) and the conditions of solution (pyrrole and KCl concentrations).The working potential were varied at 0 – 0.8; 0 – 0.9; 0 – 1 V. The variation of scan rate were 50, 100, 150 mV/s and number of cycleswere 5, 10,15 cycles. The influence of pyrrole concentration was studied by providing variation of 5, 50, 100 mM. Meanwhile, the KCl concentration were at 0.1; 0.5; 1 M. The SPCE modified with polypyrrole was washed with deionized water and was dried at room temperature. The prepared polypyrrole was analyzed and based on the high anodic and cathodic peak current of the hydroquinone, it is confirmed that the preparation was succefully conducted. The optimum conditions on electropolymerization of polypyrrole areat the working potential of 0 – 0.9 V; the scan rate 100 of mV/s; the number of cyclesis 10, and at thepyrroleconcentration of 50 mM and KCl concentration of 0.5 M. SPCE modified polypyrrole can determine the hydroquinone at the concentration range of 5 – 100 μM with the sensitivity of 0.120 μA/Μm and the detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.8 μM.

Climatic factors have substantial effects on maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield (GY). This study was conducted to distinguish the effects and identify the optimal climatic factors for dry matter (DM) accumulation and GY. Three seasons, that is, spring maize (SpM), summer maize (SuM), and autumn maize (AuM) were divided in central China by a 2‐yr field experiment. Spring maize grown under lower mean temperature (MT) with higher precipitation (Pr) before silking, however, high temperature stress (killing degree days [KDD]) were easily encountered after silking. Summer maize encountered higher MT and KDD, and less Pr through whole growth period. Climatic conditions of AuM were contrary to SpM. The KDD played a negative role on GY due to the negative affect of DM, ear kernels number (EKN), kernel weight (KW). Grain yield had positive relationships with Pr (180–400 mm), which played positive affect EKN and KW. Accumulated solar radiation (Ra) had compensating effects on EKN and KW, so it did not affect GY. The optimum MT for EKN was 20 to 27°C and Pr was 179 to 302 mm before silking, while those for KW were 23 to 27°C and 152 to 216 mm, respectively, after pollination. Spring maize grown under optimal climatic conditions as less KDD (–16.2 to –70.4%) and more Pr (+26.0 to +28.6%) outyielded SuM and AuM (+23.1 to +23.6%) by the notably higher DM, EKN, and KW. Temperature significantly affected maize DM, EKN, KW, and, ultimately GY, with SpM outyielding SuM and AuM in central China.

Core Ideas

Climatic variables related to temperature had prominent influence on maize dry matter accumulation, grain yield and its components, in comparison with solar radiation and precipitation.

The optimized daily mean temperature for ear kernel number were 20 to 27°C with precipitation of 179 to 302 mm in vegetative stage, while those for kernel weight were 23 to 27°C and 152 to 216 mm, respectively, in reproductive stage.

Spring maize, grown under a relative lower daily mean temperature, killing degree days and higher accumulated precipitation, outyielded than summer maize and autumn maize, owed to summer maize easily accumulated higher killing degree days and climatic variation of autumn maize were opposite to spring maize.

Fall application of anhydrous ammonia in Manitoba is common but its impact on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions is not well known. A 2‐yr study compared application before freeze‐up in late fall to spring pre‐plant application of anhydrous ammonia on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from a clay soil in the Red River Valley, Manitoba. Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) were grown on two 4‐ha fields in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Field‐scale flux of N2O was measured using a flux‐gradient micrometeorological approach. Late fall treatment did not induce N2O emissions soon after application or in winter likely because soil was frozen. Application time did alter the temporal pattern of emissions with late fall and spring pre‐plant applications significantly increasing median daily N2O flux at spring thaw and early crop growing season, respectively. The majority of emissions occurred in early growing season resulting in cumulative emissions for the crop year being numerically 33% less for late fall than spring pre‐plant application. Poor yield in the first year with late fall treatment occurred because of weed and volunteer growth with delayed planting. Results show late fall application of anhydrous ammonia before freeze‐up increased N2O emissions at thaw and decreased emissions for the early growing season compared to spring pre‐plant application. However, improved nitrogen availability of late fall application to crops the following year is required when planting is delayed because of excessive moisture in spring.

Core Ideas

Late‐fall ammonia application prior to freeze‐up did not induce N2O emissions over winter.

Late‐fall application did increase N2O emissions during thaw the following year.

Despite lower area‐based emission in the first study year, poor yield increased yield‐scaled emissions.

For the second study year, yield‐scaled emissions were similar for application treatments.

The timing of certain cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) management practices varies according to the yield potential and quality characteristics associated with a variety. A defoliation timing study was performed to (i) determine if certain cultivars respond differently to defoliation timings and (ii) compare the use of the open boll percentage at defoliation (OBPD), nodes above cracked boll (NACB), and micronaire readings at defoliation for their effectiveness in timing defoliation. The study was conducted in 1999, 2000, and 2001. Treatments consisted of two proprietary cultivars (ST 474 and DP 5409), each defoliated on the basis of OBPD measurements. At the time of defoliation, NACB was recorded and lint samples were retained for later high volume instrumentation (HVI) analysis. Neither variety produced consistently higher yields than the other in this study. In 2000, delaying defoliation from 40 to 60 OBPD would have resulted in a significant addition of approximately 75 kg lint ha−1 for either variety. Stoneville 474 micronaire was highest in all years suggesting that timely defoliation is more critical to ST 474 cotton compared with DP 5409 in years when overall conditions are favorable for high micronaire. DP 5409 fiber length (UHM) values were consistently higher than ST 474 and UHM was unaffected by changes in OBPD values regardless of variety. Stoneville 474 had higher uniformity index (UI) values in all three years and delaying defoliation produced mixed results. The data demonstrate that proper defoliation timing strategies aimed at optimizing quality can vary across varieties. Proper defoliation timing in the two varieties examined in this study varied little with respect to yields. Both NACB and micronaire readings taken at defoliation were more effective for timing defoliation to optimize micronaire readings than OBPD.

Groat protein and oil content are major quality traits in oat (Avena sativa L.). Information regarding the number, genomic location, and effect of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for protein and oil content, and epistasis between these QTL would facilitate the development of oat cultivars with desirable levels of the two traits. QTL for protein and oil content were mapped and characterized in an oat population consisting of 152 recombinant inbred lines from the cross of ‘Ogle’ (low)/MAM17‐5 (high). Groat protein and oil were measured for samples harvested from field hill plots across two years. Composite interval mapping was used for QTL analysis with a framework map consisting of 272 molecular markers. Seventeen and six regions were identified significantly (LOD score threshold of 3.5) associated with protein and oil, respectively. Significant additive × additive gene interactions were detected for both protein and oil. In particular, the interactions between nonparental alleles played an important role in conferring high oil for most progeny of the cross. The final models best for single years, due to either the main effect or the interaction, explained 29 to 42% and 42 to 52% of the total phenotypic variation for protein and oil content, respectively. The QTL on OM6 and OM19 for protein and the QTL on OM3 and OM6 for oil, which were consistently identified, could serve as starting points for more intense scrutiny of genomic regions controlling groat protein or oil content in oat.
