Low-dose imaging technique (LITE) MRI: initial experience in breast imaging
Authors: Pineda Federico , Sheth Deepa , Abe Hiroyuki , Medved Milica , Karczmar Gregory S
Published: July 2019

Objectives:

To compare a low-dose dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI protocol (LITE MRI) to standard-dosage using a dual-dose injection technique.

Methods:

8 females with a total of 10 lesions with imaging features compatible with fibroadenoma were imaged using a dual-dose dynamic contrast-enhanced-MRI (DCE-MRI) technique. After pre-contrast scans, 15% of a standard dose of contrast was administered; approximately 10 min later, the remaining 85% of the standard dose was administered. Enhancement kinetic parameters, conspicuity and signal-to-noise ratio were measured quantitatively.

Results:

One lesion showed no enhancement in either DCE series. All nine of the enhancing lesions were visualized in both the low-dose and standard-dose images. While the (low-to-standard) ratio of contrast doses was roughly 0.18, this did not match the ratios of kinetic parameters. Lesion conspicuity and enhancement rate were both higher in the low-dose images, with (low-to-standard) ratios 1.5 ± 0.1 and 1.2 ± 0.4, respectively. The upper limit of enhancement (ratio 0.3 ± 0.1) and signal-to-noise ratio (ratio 0.5 ± 0.1) were higher in the standard-dose images, but less than expected based on the ratio of the doses.

Conclusions:

This preliminary study demonstrates that LITE MRI has the potential to match standard DCE-MRI in the detection of enhancing lesions. Additionally, LITE MRI may enhance sensitivity to contrast media dynamics.

Advances in knowledge:

Lower doses of MRI contrast media may be equally effective in the detection of breast lesions, and increase sensitivity to contrast media dynamics. LITE MRI may help increase screening compliance and long-term patient safety.

Published: July 2019

Objectives:

This study investigated the association of congenital cervical vertebrae anomalies (CVA) with the prevalence of cleft lip and palate (CLP) specifying the most frequent associations.

Methods:

A meta-analysis was based on the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline. A search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus and Lilacs database was performed until March 2018. Clinical studies that evaluated CVA in individuals with CLP (experimental group) and without CLP (control group) was included. For the statistical analysis, the software Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (Biostat; Englewood, NJ) was used, with a p-value < 0.05 considered significant.

Results:

A total of 10 articles were included, for a total of 2566 individuals with CLP and 2301 individuals without CLP. The meta-analysis indicated statistically significant differences and the group of individuals with CLP had an increased number of CVA when compared to the group of individuals without CLP (p < 0.05; 95% confidence interval, 2.41–6.11; heterogeneity: Q-value 32.8, I2 72.6%).

Conclusions:

This study indicated that CVA are associated with the presence of CLP. Among the patients with CVA the most frequent anomalies were the deficiency of the posterior arch, followed by the fusion of cervical vertebrae. Individuals with cleft palate and those with unilateral cleft lip and palateCLP had an increased prevalence of CVA.
Retrospective cohort study monitoring PEG-asparaginase activity in acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients with and without premedication
Authors: Losasso Michael , Bostrom Bruce , Messinger Yoav
Published: July 2019

Background: PEG-L-asparaginase (pegaspargase) is a critical component of therapy for children and adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Allergic reactions, which may occur in up to one third of patients, are the major cause for discontinuation. One study reported lower rates of allergic reactions with premedication. Besides allergy, an unknown number of patients develop silent neutralizing antibodies not associated with allergic reactions. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to determine the incidence of silent inactivation of pegasparaginase and compare incidence of allergic reactions with and without premedication.

Methods: Using a commercial assay, asparaginase activity was monitored following pegaspargase (2500 units/m2) in newly diagnosed children and young adults with B- and T-cell ALL from February 2013 to May 2017. The incidence of allergic reactions before and after initiation of premedication in May 2015 was compared.

Results: One patient out of 59 (1.7%) had silent inactivation after the second dose. No patient had silent inactivation after the first pegaspargase dose and no standard risk B-cell ALL patients, who received only two pegaspargase doses in combination with oral dexamethasone, had silent inactivation. The incidence of grade 3 or 4 allergic reactions was 3.7% per dose with premedication (methylprednisolone, acetaminophen and diphenhydramine) versus 5.2% without.  The incidence per patient with premedication given for most of the doses was 8.3% versus 17% without. These values are not statistically significant. Premedication did not affect pegaspargase activity.

Conclusions: Due to the low incidence of silent inactivation with intravenous pegaspargase and the unlikely event patients receiving only two doses of pegasparaginase would receive erwinase for this possible transient silent inactivation, we recommend routine monitoring of pegaspargase activity only in patients scheduled to receive more than two doses.
Integration Paradigm in the Study of the Organizational System of Motivation and Practice of Motivational Work
Authors: Пугачев В. , Pugachyev V.
Published: July 2019

The article develops and elaborates the ideas expressed by the author in the previous issue of the magazine; these ones are about the need for rethinking of the theory and practice of motivational work in light of the new, integrative paradigm that meets the requirements of a modern information society at its current digital stage of development. It is shown that the new paradigm of motivation involves a shift from the primarily subject-object review of the critical factors that infl uence the process of determination of organizational behavior to the integrative system analysis and accounting of all phenomena, processes and all employees activities including the managerial and performing ones, that directly determine the behavior of employees of organization in their subject-subject interaction. The main imperatives of integration paradigm are characterized. In the light of this paradigm the new understanding of motivation system of employees is justifi ed, it allows encompassing the main factors that directly determine the behavior of employees, including their destructive activities, in their holistic interaction. The principal elements of motivation system are identifi ed, its bipolar and polystructural nature, its organizational and social environment is justifi ed. On the basis of the conducted analysis the general recommendations for enhancing the eff ectiveness of motivational work and for ensuring its compliance with the requirements of the modern society are off ered.

The modern period of development of tourist and hotel business is characterized by the further development of the processes of globalization and internationalization of markets. This article is devoted to the improvement of hotel personnel management processes in a cross-cultural environment. We consider cross-cultural relationships in the hospitality industry, an ethnocentric approach in the formation of a hotel chain culture, and cross-cultural aspects of personnel management that contribute to the formation of a corporate value system. The article discusses the problem of recruitment and effective management in a multicultural workforce. An analysis is made of the influence of national peculiarities of personnel from different countries on the formation of a corporate culture and, as a result, on the management style. The authors argue that the intersection of various national cultures in the conditions of the functioning of the international hotel chain leads to the formation of a new type of hotel personnel management. Based on the analysis of the problems existing in the hotel management of international hotel chains, a grouping of cross-cultural personnel competences was proposed using the reception and accommodation services as an example. Arguments are presented justifying the need to take into account the differences of each group in the work of the managers of the contact zone of the reception and accommodation services and in the process of serving the guest during their stay. Cross-cultural communication competences in the hotel industry are a new, higher level of personnel management. The expediency of applying effective methods of selection, continuous professional retraining and hotel personnel management that would take into account the cultural characteristics of employees, which is a key success factor for the organization of the hotel business, is argued. An algorithm for introducing cross-cultural competencies in hotel management through the use of educational management tools is given. The intercultural, interlingual competences used in hotel management represent the basis of a new approach to the high level of customer service of hotels. The authors come to the conclusion that this is one of the features and conditions for the safe existence of international chain companies of the hotel business.

Classical Logic and the Liar
Authors: Stephanou Yannis
Published: July 2019

The liar and kindred paradoxes show that we can derive contradictions when we reason in accordance with classical logic from the schema (T) about truth: S is true iff p, where ‘p’ is to be replaced with a sentence and ‘S’ with a name of that sentence. The paper presents two arguments to the effect that the blame lies not with (T) but with classical logic. The arguments derive contradictions using classical logic, but instead of appealing to (T), they invoke semantic claims that seem even harder to reject. The first argument relies on two standard semantic principles that are not disquotational and on the claim that if there is such a thing as the property of being true, then ‘true’ expresses that property. The second argument relies on a schema about meaning: S means that p, where ‘S’ and ‘p’ are to be replaced as before.
Time and Physical Geometry. A Formalization of Putnam’s Proof
Authors: Czerniawski Jan
Published: July 2019

Putnam’s proof that time flow is incompatible with Relativity is underestimated, mostly due to Stein’s interpretation of the notion of reality in it as a two-term relation. This interpretation makes it vulnerable to easy criticism and makes various ways of escaping its conclusion possible. An alternative approach is proposed, resulting in a formalization which seems closer to Putnam’s intentions where reality is interpreted as a non-relational property. Although it makes the proof immune to all standard strategies of blocking the proof, it reveals its real weak point which consists in assuming an overly strong interpretation of the principle of relativity.
A Poly-Connexive Logic
Authors: Francez Nissim
Published: July 2019

The paper introduces a variant of connexive logic in which connexivity is extended from the interaction of negation with implication to the interaction of negation also with conjunction and disjunction. The logic is presented by two deductively equivalent methods: an axiomatic one and a natural-deduction one. Both are shown to be complete for a four-valued model theory.
It’s raining cats, dogs and diapers! The intersections of rising pet ownership and LGBTQ+ coupledom
Authors: Gabb Professor Jacqui
Published: July 2019

Over the past few years (2017–19) there has been a steep rise in queer parenthood and same-sex ‘marriage’ along with a significant increase in pet ownership in Western countries. This article explores shifting trends in pet ownership and the ways that young LGBTQ+ couples are planning their futures together, around and through their pets. This futurity and investment in household often serves to consolidate heteronormativity and the traditional discourses of family planning.

Thumos and doxa as intermediates in the Republic
Authors: Renaut Olivier
Published: July 2019

Broadly speaking, something can be called intermediate for Plato insofar as it occupies a place between two objects, poles, places, time, or principles. But this broad meaning of the intermediate has been eclipsed by the Aristotelian critique of the intermediate objects of the dianoia, so that it has become more difficult to think of the intermediates as functions of the soul. The aim of this paper is to show how, in the Republic, thumos is analogously treated as an intermediate with other kinds of intermediate objects, and tentatively to relate this psychological intermediate in a broader theory with doxa, as its epistemological ground in the course of action.
Presentación. Los desafíos de la democratización en la Península Ibérica: monarquía y república ante el desarrollo de la sociedad de masas
Authors: Higueras Castañeda Eduardo , Mira Abad Alicia
Published: July 2019

El propósito de este dossier consiste en una aproximación a las diversas vías de transformación, exitosas o fracasadas, de las monarquías peninsulares ante el reto de la democratización y el desarrollo de la sociedad de masas, en el tránsito del siglo XIX al XX. Los resultados son diversos, puesto que como veremos en los trabajos que lo integran, la institución logró en algunos casos encabezar el cambio político pero en otros supuso un obstáculo para  la modernización. Junto a las implicaciones políticas, el dossier no descuida las distintas estrategias de proyección pública desarrolladas por la corona. En este sentido, la perspectiva de análisis se sitúa en el plano de las culturas monárquicas pero también en el de las republicanas, en la medida en que estas fueron determinantes en el deterioro de la legitimidad regia. El estudio de los discursos monárquicos y su evolución nos permite comprender las tensiones del proceso.
Política de gestos. La aristocracia contra la monarquía democrática de Amadeo de Saboya
Authors: Sánchez Raquel
Published: July 2019

El modelo de monarquía que se diseñó con la llegada del rey Amadeo a España presentaba notables diferencias con respecto a la monarquía isabelina. Políticamente, se basaba en principios políticos democráticos. Socialmente, en una respetabilidad burguesa que remitía a una forma de vida austera y acorde con la mentalidad de la clase media. El objetivo de este artículo es tratar de calibrar cuáles fueron las limitaciones que tuvo ese proyecto democrático de monarquía en un contexto en el que sus propuestas resultaban inéditas. Se estudiará, en particular, el papel desempeñado por las clases altas (tradicionales soportes de la monarquía) no tanto en su labor conspirativa, sino en su rechazo explícito a lo que la monarquía democrática significaba y al papel que a ellas les cabía en dicho proyecto.
D. Carlos I (1889-1908): epílogo da monarquia em Portugal?
Authors: Corrêa da Silva Isabel
Published: July 2019

A correlação entre o regicídio de D. Carlos I em 1908 e a queda do regime monárquico em Portugal dois anos depois em 1910 é evidente. Consequentemente a figura deste rei tem sido tratada pela historiografia como uma espécie de bode expiatório para justificar o fim da monarquia portuguesa. O que se pretende neste texto é fazer a articulação de elementos estruturais e conjunturais do contexto político-institucional e económico e social, de modo a aferir a robustez da instituição monárquica no período em que D. Carlos reinou. Distinguiremos particularmente alguns dos principais elementos do reinado de D. Carlos que julgamos terem sido determinantes para o processo de deslegitimação e isolamento da monarquia portuguesa que levou à sua falência. São eles: a crise política do rotativismo, a crise financeira, a crise diplomática provocada pelo ultimato inglês, a especificidade portuguesa da cultura política e social do liberalismo, assim como a ineficácia, ou mesmo inexistência, de dispositivos de autopromoção real.
La africanidad de las Islas Canarias: del debate internacional a la reacción en España (1956-1981)
Authors: Arconada Ledesma Pablo , Reguero Sanz Itziar , García Andrés César
Published: July 2019

El presente artículo estudia el debate que se produjo sobre la españolidad de las Islas Canarias en la segunda mitad del siglo XX (1956 – 1981) con un doble objetivo: analizar la controversia internacional sobre si el archipiélago era un territorio a descolonizar y examinar las reacciones del Gobierno de España ante este asunto. Las fuentes utilizadas se basan en una pormenorizada revisión bibliográfica, junto a la documentación de organismos internacionales, la prensa escrita y los testimonios de algunos protagonistas. La implicación de diversos actores –tanto nacionales como regionales e internacionales– nos da una idea de la dimensión que tuvo este polémico debate. Los hallazgos de esta investigación revelan que la controversia no fue algo anecdótico, sino que se prolongó durante más de dos décadas, donde existió la posibilidad de que las Islas Canarias pudieran pasar por un proceso de descolonización.

Published: July 2019

Aim: The research was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and risk factor associated with respiratory viral pathogens in dual-purpose cattle of Aguachica, Rio de Oro and La Gloria municipalities in Cesar department, Colombia. Materials and Methods: The seroprevalence study was done from the random sampling (n=1000) of blood collected from 29 dual-purpose herds, located in three municipalities (Aguachica, Rio de Oro, and La Gloria) of Cesar department. The presence of antibodies against bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and bovine parainfluenza-3 virus (BPI-3V) in the samples was detected by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Epidemiological data were obtained using a questionnaire administered to the owner or manager of each herd. Results: The overall highest seroprevalence was observed for BHV-1 (94.7%), followed by BRSV (98.6%), BVDV (35.2%), and BPI-3V (47.1%). Regarding the seroprevalence by municipalities, there was a statistical association (p<0.05) for BVDV; however, for BRSV, BHV-1, and BPI-3V, no statistical association was found (p>0.05) between seropositive values and the municipalities, indicating that animal was seropositive in similar proportions in the three municipalities. Female sex and older animals (>24 months) were a significant risk factor for BHV-1 and BPI-3V infection. Regarding the clinical signs, there was a statistical association (p<0.05) between the seropositive values of BVDV and most of clinical signs observed, except for abortion. Conclusion: This research confirms the high seroprevalence of the respiratory viral pathogens in nonvaccinated cattle within the study areas. Therefore, appropriate sanitary management practices and routine vaccination programs should be adopted to reduce the seroprevalence of these infectious agents.

В августе 2018 г. нами было выполнено гидробиологическое обследование некоторых минеральных озер и водоемов Улдза-Торейского бассейна (Забайкальский край) и изучена таксономическая структура и экологическая характеристика фито- и зоопланктона. Мы установили, что планктон озер на момент обследования характеризовался низким видовым разнообразием – 47 видов микроводорослей и 43 вида беспозвоночных. Эколого-географический анализ показал преобладание в планктоне широко распространенных видов водорослей и беспозвоночных – для растительного планктона были характерны виды планктонно-бентосного комплекса, для животного – эврибионты. Применение кластерного анализа позволило нам выявить сходные по таксономическому составу альго- и зооценозы.

A CALCULATION OF COST OF QUALITY WITH ACTIVITY BASED COSTING METHOD TO MAINTAIN QUALITY BETWEEN PRODUCTION PROCESSES
Authors: Purwanggono Bambang , Valentinus Rizalt
Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT Quality is an image of a company. PT Berkat Manunggal Jaya is a company that its primary activity is to assemble the generator units. This company wants to improve its quality in its production processes. The Initial stage is to determine the amount of quality cost since it hasn’t been measured yet, especially in the production processes. This is because there are several cost categories that are within the company but the company still has not been able to measure them, which include the cost of diesel fuel for repeated inspection and the amount of diesel fuel that was carried when generators are delivered to the customers. The measuring method of this quality cost is using the Cost of Quality (COQ) model which details of the cost categories are based on Activity Based Costing (ABC) method. This method is suitable because it uses direct costs’ account, for instance, the use of materials as well as indirect costs as corporate overhead costs. The detail work instructions for the inspection of the production process between departments are provided based on existing procedures in the company. This is done to reduce the unacceptable product-in-progress when the production process is in operation. After calculating and put in all the activities into the four categories of Cost of Quality, the total Cost of Quality compared with the prices of sold unit from every generator set type are 1.77% for 680 KVA type open, 1.74% for 1300 KVA first type silent, 1.74% for 1300 KVA second type silent, 2.86% for 680 KVA type silent, 1.28% for 1300 KVA first type open, 1.27% for 1300 KVA second type open, 1.13% for 1740 KVA first type open, 1.13% for 1740 KVA second type open. The recommended solution for the reduction of Cost of Quality is to modify the procedure inspection flow in the company to reduce failure cost, especially in the final inspection costs (repeated test load processes).

The existence of consonant series phonemes in Indonesian phonological learning is important, but strangely it has not received special attention, so it is interesting to be the object of study. Based on existing data, if we find a phoneme study of consonant series from several references, it turns out that the discussion is only a part / sub-section of the subject matter of the study.            The application of theory is based on the linguistic theory of phonological branches, phonemic subcabang, because the study focuses on the phoneme of the consonant series itself and its ability to form consonant sequences. The implementation of the study starts at three strategic stages as in linguistic research in general, namely: 1. the stage of providing data, 2. the stage of classification and analysis of data, and 3. the stage of preparing the report. The phoneme data of consonant series is more secondary, so the existence of references is a data source.            The results of the consonant phoneme data analysis almost apply to all consonant phonemes in Indonesian, including loan / absorption (foreign) phonemes. The basis for determining the consonant phoneme starts with: 1. a consonant series is a consonant series of two / or more phonemes in one word, but in different syllables; 2. consonant phoneme data departs from the kinds of vocabulary in Indonesian; and 3. that the question of syllable decapitation is based on decapitation of the word form (morphological), not on sound (phonological) elements. The types of vocabulary used as data include: 1) original Indonesian vocabulary; 2) loan / absorption vocabulary, especially from the process "received by adjustment"; and 3) the "new form" vocabulary.

The existence of word vowel phonemes in all languages, including in Indonesian is very dominant. All words in their internal structure must be found in phonemes. As a result of the existence of a very dominant vowel phoneme, its existence is able to form what is called a phoneme vocal sequence.The application of research theory in connection with efforts to describe vowel series phonemes is based on the linguistic theory of the phonological field of the phonemic subfield. Because the study focuses on the smallest unit of language sounds, namely phonemes. The research implementation is based on three strategic stages, namely: 1. provision of data, 2. classification and analysis of data, 3. preparation / writing of reports.The findings of the data are more secondary, so the findings of the data focus on the availability of references, so that the existence of a large Indonesian language dictionary acts as a "smart" book. The findings of primary data are relatively difficult to do.There are seven kinds of vocal phonemes, namely / a, i, u, ê, é, è, o /. The seven vowel phonemes are relatively capable of forming vowel phonemes, so that in the end a table can be made from each of the seven vowel phonemes in question.

Ideational ethnography is the study of society and culture based on the assumption that every action is meaningful to the perpetrators. The hidden meaning behind the motives is knowledge that is assumed to be true. The source of truth is belief (constitutive truth); reasoning and experience (cognitive truth), or evaluative reality as in tradition. In ideational ethnographic research, the task of researchers is to seize the meaning referred to as the truth behind the cultural actions of the people studied. While the technique of digging data used is observation, interviews, and documents according to the context of the problem (reality) being studied.In ideational ethnographic research, reality is seen in five levels, namely reality: empirical, symbolic, meaning, ideas, and values (worldview). How are the five realities seen from their perspective (emic perspective) as an example of sea ritual (labuh).
Assessing diagnostic error in cerebral venous thrombosis via detailed chart review
Authors: Liberman Ava L. , Bakradze Ekaterina , Mchugh Daryl C. , Esenwa Charles C. , Lipton Richard B.
Published: July 2019

Background

Diagnostic error in cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has been understudied despite the harm associated with misdiagnosis of other cerebrovascular diseases as well as the known challenges of evaluating non-specific neurological symptoms in clinical practice.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of CVT patients hospitalized at a single center. Two independent reviewers used a medical record review tool, the Safer Dx Instrument, to identify diagnostic errors. Demographic and clinical factors were abstracted. We compared subjects with and without a diagnostic error using the t-test for continuous variables and the chi-square (χ2) test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables; an alpha of 0.05 was the cutoff for significance.

Results

A total of 72 CVT patients initially met study inclusion criteria; 19 were excluded due to incomplete medical records. Of the 53 patients included in the final analysis, the mean age was 48 years and 32 (60.4%) were women. Diagnostic error occurred in 11 cases [20.8%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 11.8–33.6%]. Subjects with diagnostic errors were younger (42 vs. 49 years, p = 0.13), more often women (81.8% vs. 54.8%, p = 0.17), and were significantly more likely to have a past medical history of a headache disorder prior to the index CVT visit (7.1% vs. 36.4%, p = 0.03).

Conclusions

Nearly one in five patients with complete medical records experienced a diagnostic error. Prior history of headache was the only evaluated clinical factor that was more common among those with an error in diagnosis. Future work on distinguishing primary from secondary headaches to improve diagnostic accuracy in acute neurological disease is warranted.
Facilitators and barriers in the utilization of World Health Organization’s Preventing Early Pregnancy Guidelines in formulating laws, policies and strategies: what do stakeholders in Ethiopia say?
Authors: Shilton Sonjelle , Chandra-Mouli Venkatraman , Paul Shadae , Denno Donna M.
Published: July 2019

Background

Each year, approximately 16 million 15-19 year-old girls give birth. In 2011 the World Health Organization (WHO) published the evidence-based “Preventing Early Pregnancy and Poor Reproductive Outcomes among Adolescents in Low and Middle Income Countries” guidelines to inform policies and programs. However, little is known about their country-level use to influence supportive environments to reduce early childbearing. We sought to identify alignment of Ethiopian laws, polices and strategies with these guidelines, whether these guidelines contributed to them, and identify facilitators and barriers to their utilization.

Methods

First, we analyzed Ethiopian legal, policy, and strategy documents relating to adolescent pregnancy to determine their alignment with the WHO early pregnancy guidelines. We then conducted and thematically analyzed 11 interviews with key informants (KIs) working in adolescent and/or reproductive health at the national level.

Results

Laws, policies, and strategies to address early childbearing are in place in Ethiopia and address the six domains of the WHO adolescent pregnancy guidelines. KIs reported that they were aware of the WHO adolescent pregnancy guidelines, but none mentioned it without prompting. Six barrier/facilitator themes emerged: knowledge, national agenda, laws, resources, culture, and cooperation.

Conclusions

Ethiopia has a policy framework consistent with WHO’s adolescent pregnancy guidelines which may have contributed to their development. The lack of spontaneous identification of the guidelines by the KIs we interviewed, raises questions of their knowledge and use of the guidelines. Targeted dissemination of guidelines by WHO to relevant stakeholders may facilitate their use.
Investigating pragmatic abilities in young Finnish adults using the Assessment Battery for Communication

Pragmatic communication refers to the ability to use language and other expressive means, i.e. non-verbal/extralinguistic means such as gestures and facial expressions, in order to convey and interpret meaning in a specific context. Pragmatic abilities are important in everyday life in interpersonal interactions as they affect the way people communicate and behave in social situations. Providing a comprehensive and accurate assessment of pragmatic abilities can be challenging, partially due to the scarcity of valid assessment tools in this area. Culture-related aspects of communication need to be taken into consideration, and the assessment tools need to be specific and sensitive for specific cultural contexts. In this paper, we present the results concerning the administration of the first preliminary translation and adaptation into the Finnish language of the equivalent form A of the Italian Assessment Battery for Communication (ABaCo) to a sample of neurotypical Finnish adults (n=36); we discuss the results, highlighting cultural features and the consequent adaptation requirements. Data regarding performance on each subscale and on each item of the ABaCo are provided, together with a qualitative analysis of the answers. These data indicate good performance on the majority of the subscales used, thus indicating good properties of the preliminary Finnish version of the ABaCo. Compared to the paralinguistic and context scales, where the participants exhibited good performance, slightly lower scores were obtained on the extralinguistic scale. Such results shed light on a number of differences in the way Finnish people interpret pragmatically challenging communicative situations. The present study represents an interesting starting point for further steps in the specific ABaCo adaptation process, as well as for future studies in terms of cross-cultural investigation.
Uncovering the Real Recovery Challenge: What Emergency Management Must Do
Authors: McCreight Robert , Harrop Wayne
Published: July 2019

Despite decades of genuine experience derived from major disasters, emergency exercises and expert reviews of crisis events in reports and after action summaries it seems we know far less about post disaster restoration and recovery than we should. This shortfall presents several challenges to public policy, governance and the practice of emergency management as the specific steps, requirements, connections, issues and interdependencies in resurrecting a severely damaged city goes far beyond cleanup and routine debris removal tasks. Approaches towards restoration and recovery differ between the USA and the UK but there is equal regard for deriving as much insight as possible from post disaster imperatives by deliberately exercising what is seldom examined – the raw details and demands of city and community recovery. One suggested avenue is to expand future emergency exercises by focusing on how better to understand and execute the variety of restoration and recovery activies needed and devote less energy to traditional emergency response measures. This would invite testing emergency management leaders and experts with demanding 'maximum of maximum' scenarios to analyze the depth, challenges and complexity involved.
