A Census of Actively Licensed Physicians in the United States, 2012
Authors: Young Aaron , Chaudhry Humayun J. , Thomas Jon V. , Dugan Michael
Published: June 2019

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law in 2010 and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last year, is expected to provide health care coverage to as many as 32 million Americans by 2019. As demand for health care expands, the need for accurate data about the current and future physician workforce will remain paramount. This census of actively licensed physicians in the United States and the District of Columbia represents data received from state medical boards in 2012 by the Federation of State Medical Boards. It demonstrates that the total population of licensed physicians (878,194) has expanded by 3% since 2010, is slightly older, has more women, and includes a substantive increase in physicians who graduated from a medical school in the Caribbean. As state medical boards begin to collect a Minimum Data Set about practicing physicians and their practice patterns in the years ahead, this information will inform decisions by policymakers, regulators and health care market participants to better align health care demand with supply.
Obtaining Meaningful Informed Consent: Guidelines from the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine
Authors: Nyberg David
Published: June 2019

Each year the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine deals with a large number of complaints from patients and their families about various degrees of physicians' failure to obtain informed consent in a meaningful and useful way. Physicians typically respond that they (or someone on staff) went through their usual procedure and they often — but not always — produce a signed consent form to prove that consent was in fact obtained. They often express surprise that a complaint had been filed after the fact. There is a communications gap between what the physician offers and what the patient formally affirms with a signature in terms of information, comprehension and meaningful consent. The Maine Board of Licensure took on the task of exploring this gap with the purpose of developing a set of guidelines to help physicians prevent these complaints by achieving a higher quality of shared decision making.

The Slow Road to Big Change: Extending the Advocacy Coalition Framework with the Theory of Gradual, Institutional Change
Authors: Giordono Leanne
Published: June 2019

The Advocacy Coalition Framework is a policy process framework that explains subsystem-level policy change as a function of competition by advocacy coalitions. The ACF’s theory of policy change expects that abrupt policy changes are more likely to reflect major change, while incremental developments are more likely to yield minor changes. While the ACF does not explicitly preclude the possibility of major change occurring over a long time horizon via incremental developments, the theoretical pathways do not readily accommodate or explain such cases. In contrast, the theory of Gradual Institutional Change (GIC) offers a typology associated with gradual (incremental), transformative (major) change, as well as an underlying theory to account for such changes, building on distinctions between the process of change (incremental or abrupt) and the result of change (discontinuity or continuity). The GIC identifies four “modes” of institutional change (i.e., displacement, layering, conversion and drift), and suggests that when major change can occur over a shorter time frame, it is analogous to the non-incremental and discontinuous process typically examined by the ACF. The GIC further posits that incremental, transformative (major) change is influenced by similar forces as those that influence non-incremental change, such as political context, key policy actors, and institutions. The GIC thus offers an opportunity to apply concepts of gradual, institutional change in the context of the ACF theory of policy change. Given these theoretical and empirical observations, this study has two objectives: 1) to identify strategies for using concepts from the GIC in the context of the ACF; and 2) to illustrate the added value of an extended framework. The study begins with a description of the theoretical frameworks, including motivation and operationalization of the proposed integration, followed by an illustration applied to the disability policy subsystem in Washington State. The study responds to recent calls for more integration of the policy process and comparative politics literatures, and follows in the tracks of other innovations that build on and/or extend the Advocacy Coalition Framework with insights from other theoretical traditions. The extension is expected to increase the scope and relevance of both theories and offer broader opportunities for empirical application.
An unbalanced de novo t(X;12)(q28;q15) in a disabled girl. Review of 25 (X;12) translocations
Authors: Rivera Horacio , Vásquez-Velásquez Ana Isabel
Published: June 2019

We report on an unbalanced de novo (X;12) translocation and summarize the cytogenetic aspects of 25 similar exchanges here compiled. This translocation was found in an intellectually disabled girl and was characterized by means of G-bands and FISH assays with Xq/Yq and 12q subtelomeric probes. The patient’s karyotype was 46,X,der(X)t(X;12)(q28;q15).ish derX(Xq subtel–,12q subtel+) and entailed both a 12q15→qter duplication and a small Xq28 deletion. Among the 25 translocations here compiled, 10 were de novo, 5 maternally transmitted, and 10 of untraced origin. The paucity of (X;12) translocations probably reflects both the specificity of chromosomal domains and viability of imbalances.
Addictive Auctions: using lucky-draw and gambling addiction to increase participation during auctioning
Authors: Kumar Ravin
Published: June 2019

Auction theories are believed to provide a better selling opportunity for the resources to be allocated. Various organizations have taken measures to increase trust among participants towards their auction system, but trust alone cannot ensure a high level of participation. We propose a new type of auction system which takes advantage of lucky-draw and gambling addictions to increase the engagement level of candidates in an auction. Our system makes use of security features present in existing auction systems for ensuring fairness and maintaining trust among participants.

Published: June 2019

In a scenario of major changes caused mainly by the use of technology in academic environments, the article approaches information mediation concepts in the Brazilian, Portuguese and French scientific literature with the objective of identifying the main theoretical aspects from the areas of information science and of the communication, employees to the university library together with the vision of the Brazilian reference librarians on the term mediation of the information to find convergent and / or divergent points and to understand how occurs the mediation of the information realized in university libraries. In the methodology applied, of a qualitative character, the bibliographical research was used to identify the approaches given by the authors about the mediation of the information. Next, an online questionnaire was used to gather information about the understanding of reference librarians on the subject, focusing on the services offered in libraries. The results lead us to state that reference librarians understand the mediation of information and are aware of their role as mediators. However, the reference process was poorly detailed by the librarians and some confusion of what it is, how it is done, and in what medium it is made were identified in the answers. However, it can be reiterated that the reference process occurs in face-to-face or digital media, mainly in the orientation of the librarian to the user to meet an expressed informational need.

Dengan mengerti korelasi antara kecerdasan dan toleransi, kita bisa mendapatkan penjelasan mengenai fenomena kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh kelompok yang mengatasnamakan agama.
A literacia da informação no combate às fake news: desafios e estratégias formativas no ensino superior
Authors: Antunes Maria da Luz , Sanches Tatiana , Lopes Carlos
Published: June 2019

Introdução: Os problemas com a verdade e a falácia na Internet têm vindo a evidenciar-se, tornando-se num mar de navegação perigosa devido à quantidade de falsas verdades, desinformação, informação enganosa ou errónea – um conjunto de conceitos agregados no que é mais conhecido por fake news. O presente estudo argumenta que é necessário recentrar as preocupações com a informação no elemento humano, desenvolvendo intervenções educativas para alterar esta realidade, consciencializando e formando os utilizadores da informação. Especificamente para o combate às fake news, as instituições de ensino superior devem capacitar a sua comunidade para uma navegação segura na Internet, ensinando-a a filtrar os conteúdos que irão utilizar, colocar e disponibilizar para outrem. Estudantes, professores e investigadores devem saber qual a informação de que necessitam, conseguir identificar o que procuram, reconhecer as condições sob as quais a informação pode ser reutilizada de forma ética, assim como o destino que terá, e distinguir entre conhecimento, opinião e comentário. O objetivo do presente estudo é o de conhecer a atuação dos profissionais da informação no combate às fake news, através da análise das estratégias em competências de literacia da informação em contexto académico. Método: Realizou-se uma revisão da literatura indexada na Scopus e na Web of Science, associando fake news e a literacia da informação no contexto do ensino superior. Resultados: A Web of Science apresenta um total de 41 resultados e a Scopus de 22 resultados. A análise aponta para a descrição de iniciativas e projetos oriundos quer de bibliotecas do ensino superior, quer de profissionais da informação do mesmo setor, comprometidos com a causa do combate às fake news. Discussão: A literatura refere que o fator educacional deve necessariamente ser ponderado: a formação de utilizadores motivados para o conhecimento é que lhes permite distinguir a veracidade do que se afirma e identificar qual o cenário para a produção de mais conhecimento. As pessoas melhor preparadas correspondem a indivíduos que assumem como insuficiente a informação disponibilizada pela Internet. As bibliotecas do ensino superior assumem-se como importantes núcleos neste processo: porque se formam e porque formam, mantendo-se atuais e confiáveis. Sugere-se o desenvolvimento de medidas a implementar pelas instituições de ensino superior e pelos profissionais da informação para um eficaz combate às fake news, em especial no contexto académico. Concluiu-se que o conhecimento pode resultar em informação, mas a informação não resulta necessariamente em conhecimento – e a informação pode não ultrapassar o patamar da opinião, pelo que importa reforçar estratégias formativas.

Authors: VIOLA CARLA , SCHNEIDER MARCO
Published: June 2019

A Agenda 2030 congrega 17 Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável, dentre os quais iremos tratar das diferenças existentes entre homens e mulheres em todo mundo, e da necessidade de acesso e disseminação da informação. O Brasil é um dos 193 Estados-membros da ONU que se comprometeu a tomar medidas ousadas e transformadoras para promover o desenvolvimento sustentável nos próximos anos. É um plano de ação para as pessoas, o planeta e a prosperidade, que busca fortalecer a paz universal. A partir destas premissas, o objetivo da pesquisa é averiguar se o trabalho desenvolvido pelas/os profissionais da informação e documentação e na arquitetura da informação do portal da Câmara dos Deputados está permitindo a encontrabilidade das informações que auxilie o alcance dos objetivos no que diz respeito aos direitos das mulheres. A metodologia do trabalho se constitui de uma pesquisa de nível exploratório com delineamento bibliográfico. Conclui-se que o portal analisado não possui uma arquitetura da informação plenamente eficaz por conter informações pervasivas e repetidas em quatro ambientes diferentes, não possuindo classificação eficiente que se perfaça na encontrabilidade da informação precisa e efetiva. As/Os profissionais da informação e documentação do portal devem reavaliar a taxonomia enquanto estrutura classificatória para organização do conhecimento, no que tange aos interesses e direitos das mulheres, em atenção aos objetivos descritos na agenda, considerando, ainda, os atributos da Competência em Informação e da Ética em Informação abordados pela Ciência da Informação.
BGGM: A R Package for Bayesian Gaussian Graphical Models
Authors: Williams Donald Ray , Mulder Joris
Published: June 2019

Gaussian graphical models (GGM) allow for learning conditional independence structures that are encoded by partial correlations. Whereas there are several \proglang{R} packages for classical (i.e., frequentist) methods, there are only two that implement a Bayesian approach. These are exclusively focused on identifying the graphical structure; that is, detecting non-zero effects. The \proglang{R} package \pkg{BGGM} not only fills this gap, but it also includes novel Bayesian methodology for extending inference beyond identifying non-zero relations. \pkg{BGGM} is built around two Bayesian approaches for inference--estimation and hypothesis testing. The former focuses on the posterior distribution and includes extensions to assess predictability, as well as methodology to compare partial correlations. The latter includes methods for Bayesian hypothesis testing, in both exploratory and confirmatory contexts, with the novel matrix-$F$ prior distribution. This allows for testing order and equality constrained hypotheses, as well as a combination of both with the Bayes factor. Further, there are two approaches for comparing any number of GGMs with either the posterior predictive distribution or Bayesian hypothesis testing. This work describes the software implementation of these methods. We end by discussing future directions for \pkg{BGGM}.
A Bayesian Account of Memory for Text
Authors: Andrews Mark
Published: June 2019

The study of memory for texts has had an long tradition of research in psychology. According to most general accounts, the recognition or recall of items in a text is based on querying a memory representation that is built up on the basis of background knowledge. The objective of this paper is to describe and thoroughly test a Bayesian model of these general accounts. In particular, we present a model that describes how we use our background knowledge to form memories in terms of Bayesian inference of statistical patterns in the text, followed by posterior predictive inference of the words that are typical of those inferred patterns. This provides us with precise predictions about which words will be remembered, whether veridically or erroneously, from any given text. We tested these predictions using behavioural data from a memory experiment using a large sample of randomly chosen texts from a representative corpus of British English. The results show that the probability of remembering any given word in the text, whether falsely or veridically, is well predicted by the Bayesian model. Moreover, compared to nontrivial alternative models of text memory, by every measure used in the analyses, the predictions of the Bayesian model were superior, often overwhelmingly so. We conclude that these results provide strong evidence in favour of the Bayesian account of text memory that we have presented in this paper.
Talking Your Self Into It: How and When Accounts Shape Motivation for Action
Authors: Winchester Daniel , Green Kyle
Published: June 2019

Following Mills (1940), several prominent sociologists have encouraged researchers to analyze actors’ motive talk not as data on the subjective desires that move them to pursue particular ends, but as post hoc accounts oriented toward justifying actions already undertaken. Combining insights from hermeneutic theories of the self and pragmatist theories of action, we develop a theoretical position that challenges dichotomous assumptions about whether motive accounts reflect either justifications or motivations for action, instead illustrating how they can migrate from one status to the other over time. We develop this perspective through a comparativeanalysis of actors’ involvements in two quite different careers of social action – religion and mixed martial arts –documenting both how and when justificatory talk about actors’ motives for initiating a course of action at one point in time became formative of their subjective motivations for sustaining these same courses of action at another.

Published: June 2019

Biopsy is mandatory for histological diagnosis of non-resectable brain tumors. Of various techniques, neuronavigation guided biopsy provides intraoperative real-time reference and allows biopsy from multiple trajectories. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and accuracy of frameless neuronavigation biopsy.

We retrospectively reviewed the medical archives of patients with intracranial space occupying lesion who underwent frameless neuronavigation biopsy at our institute between 2016 to 2018. All operations were performed under general anesthesia. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20. P value of <0.05 was considered significant.

There were 46 patients who underwent neuronavigation guided biopsy over the period of two years. Median age of patients was 46.5 years. Supratentorial tumors accounted for 95.8% of cases. Mean tumor diameter was 3.35 cm. Accuracy was 89.1%. More than half were glial tumors. Histopathology was inconclusive in 10.9% cases. Complication rate was 4.3%: one tract hematoma and one new neurological deficit.

Frameless neuronavigation guided biopsy of intracranial space occupying lesion is safe and efficacious procedure with high diagnostic yield.

Published: June 2019

The aim of this study is to show the subtype, risk factors and predictors of poor outcomes in young ischemic stroke patients.

Materials and Methods: It is a prospective study where only young onset ischemic stroke patients are analyzed.

8% of total ischemic stroke sufferers were young adults; more prevalent in female (57.1%), with risk factors of smoking (47.6%) subtype cardio embolic (42.9%) was common. High NIHSS score was related to new event and correlation to mortality. Three month follow up showed MRS 2.86 ± 1.02. 57.1% of cases had significant disability (defined as MRS ≥ 3). There was a positive correlation of the cardio embolic subtype and the unclassified subtype to all three forms of poor outcomes, along with a positive correlation of the large artery atherothrombotic subtype to new events Recurrence of events (new stroke, sudden increase in symptoms and new TIAs) was observed in 14.3 %. Death was reported in 9.5% of cases.  

Etiological diagnosis can be reached in majority of cases if an aggressive approach is maintained. This small scale study has provided an overview of the distribution of subtypes, risk factors and poor outcomes and their predictors. Cardiac diseases (esp. valvular disease) need to be taken more seriously to prevent cardio embolic strokes, while addressing other traditional risk factors to prevent the atherothrombotic subtypes.

Published: June 2019

Neurenteric cysts account for 0.7-1.3% of spinal axis tumors. These uncommon lesions results from the inappropriate partitioning of the embryonic notochordal plate and presumptive endoderm during the third week of human development. Heterotopic nests of epithelium reminiscent of gastrointestinal and respiratory tissue lead to eventual formation of compressive cystic lesions of the pediatric and adult spine. We report a 40-year-old male  presenting with slow-progressive myelopathic manifestation and ovoid non-enhancing cysticintradural extramedullary lesion at C7 level on MRI, mimicking intraspinal arachnoid cyst, who underwent successful surgical excision. The histopathological examination prove it to be neurenteric cyst.

Objectif : L’objectif principal de notre travail était d’analyser les courriers de plainte (CP) adressés à un service d’urgence (SU). L’objectif secondaire était de déterminer s’il existait une corrélation entre CP et temporalité de passage au SU.

Matériel et méthodes : Étude rétrospective monocentrique sur six ans portant sur les CP concernant les prises en charge en SU.

Résultats : Quatre-vingt-un CP ont été analysés, la moyenne annuelle et l’incidence étaient de 13,5 CP/an et de 5,5 CP/ 10 000 passages. L’incidence était de 3,5 CP/10 000 passages pour les enfants vs 6,1 CP/10 000 passages pour les adultes (p = 0,11). Le plaignant était la famille dans 44 CP (55 %) et le patient dans 34 CP (42 %). Il n’y avait pas de différence significative entre le jour et la nuit (5,7 CP/10 000 vs 4,8 CP/ 10 000 passages ; p = 0,57) ni entre horaires de garde et horaires hors garde (5,6 CP/10 000 vs 5,2 CP/10 000 passages ; p = 0,78). Nous avons dénombré 133 doléances, avec une cause médicale dans 64 CP (48 %), une cause organisationnelle dans 44 CP (33 %), une cause relationnelle dans 25 CP (19 %). Une indemnisation financière a été demandée dans 13 CP (16 %) et a été accordée pour deux dossiers (2 %). Aucun CP n’a entraîné de poursuite en justice.

Conclusion : L’incidence des CP de notre SU reste dans la moyenne basse des données retrouvées au niveau national et sans relation avec la temporalité du passage. L’analyse des CP permet d’améliorer la qualité de la prise en charge et de proposer des mesures correctives en relation avec la commission des usagers.

Les difficultés de la double arthrodèse dans les pieds plats valgus reposent sur la fusion de l’arthrodèse acquise dans des délais raisonnables, et la bonne position du pied et de la cheville, pour permettre aux patients de retrouver leur fonction. Notre étude rétrospective comporte 19 pieds plats valgus acquis de l’adulte, colligés à l’institut M-T-Kassab sur une période de dix ans, traités par une arthrodèse de la médiotarsienne et de la sous-talienne, associée à des gestes de correction de l’avant-pied. La consolidation radiologique de l’arthrodèse est obtenue dans 89,5 % des cas à cinq mois. Les paramètres radiologiques préopératoires sont corrigés de manière significative par l’arthrodèse. La double arthrodèse garde sa place comme intervention de référence pour l’obtention d’un bon résultat fonctionnel dans la prise en charge chirurgicale du pied plat valgus.
De la plante aux effets biologiques de l’extrait : quand la démarche scientifique éclaire les usages

Published: June 2019

L’intérêt porté aux plantes médicinales a considérablement été renouvelé ces dernières années. Cependant, les données fiables sur les extraits de plantes commercialisés sont souvent inexistantes. Une partie du savoir-faire industriel du groupe PiLeJe est axé sur la production d’extraits de plantes dont le profil phytochimique est proche de celui dutotum. Le laboratoire s’efforce d’apporter des preuves scientifiques sur la qualité, l’usage et l’intérêt des extraits de plantes produits. Cela nécessite de recourir à des procédés industriels adaptés, permettant d’extraire et de restituer intacte la majorité des composants de la plante et d’améliorer de façon continue la filière et la production des extraits. De nombreux efforts sont également fournis pour standardiser et caractériser chaque extrait de plante produit et associer au profil phytochimique établi des propriétés et des effets biologiques.

The success of an academic journal depends on many factors. Let us, however, only mention two of them: its high-quality editing and its continuity. The Anthropological Journal of European Cultures is prosperous because it fulfils both of these criteria. This means it has been published periodically, nonstop for nearly three decades under the supervision of editors with significant dedication to the journal.

In general, organizational environment has faced major changes in its management processes, especially in what concerns investment in technology. According to Davenport and Prusak (1998), "organizations invest heavily in technology - computers, communications networks and software - because they believe that technology itself overcomes every challenge”. However, information allied to technology can make a total difference in any company objective, whether for decision making or creating competitive advantage. Based on this, organizations are looking for technological tools to enhance their processes, among which are the integrated systems of enterprise management ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), focus of the present work, which also aims to present the relevance of ERP business management systems, as well as its aspects from implementation to its current phase in the organization, advantages, disadvantages, and role in strategic information management.

Published: June 2019

The experiment was conducted to observe the effect of different fermentation times on nutrient compositions and phytase activity of fermented soybean meal (FSBM) used solid state fermentation (SSF) by Aspergillus niger. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used in this experiment which was included three treatments and replicated three times per treatment. Soybean meal was used as substrate and inoculated with A. niger spore suspension. Two hundred and fifty ml capacity of Erlenmeyer flask was used to cultivate the culture. The fermentation times were 0, 3 and 5 days. The contents of dry matter, ash, ether extract, crude protein, gross energy and phytase activity of fermented soybean meal were determined. The percentages of crude protein, gross energy and phytase activity of day 5 FSBM were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of day 3 FSBM. Fermented SBM at day 5 had numerically increased in the ether extract contents. However, the ash and dry matter percentages of day 5 FSBM were significantly (p<0.05) reduced compared with those of day 3 FSBM. According to the obtained results, the effect of different fermentation times on nutrient contents and phytase activity of fermented soybean meal were significantly different. Therefore, fermented SBM incubated at day 5 is an appropriate alternative feed from SBM to be used as nourishable feed and phytase enzyme production in fermented soybean meal which will being economic benefits to farmers.
