El modelo sanitario de la Región Lombardía (1995 - 2012): El sistema transformado
Authors: Mateos Buendía Inmaculada
Published: December 2017

Las fluctuaciones y cambios que soportan los modelos de los sistemas sanitarios han alcanzado una gran relevancia en las últimas décadas. Debido al surgimiento de nuevos problemas, el Estado de Bienestar ha tenido que afrontar su propia transformación, adaptándose a las demandas procedentes del nuevo contexto social y económico. El modelo del Servicio Nacional de Salud de la Región de Lombardía experimenta una transición y evolución que muestran un nuevo enfoque de la política sanitaria. El proceso de reforma del sistema sanitario de Lombardía se ha centrado en la descentralización de la producción y la provisión de los bienes y servicios sanitarios. La introducción de lógicas de mercado ha favorecido la externalización de la provisión de estos bienes y servicios al sector privado, mediante la separación de la financiación y la provisión. El resultado es la creación de un nuevo esquema institucional del sistema sanitario lombardo, que puede ser reconocido por su propio diseño.

Coursework for Promoting Teaching and Learning
Authors: Kandamby Tesila Chandrakanthi
Published: December 2017

Teaching in higher education is to give knowledge to students to understand the principles and apply them in given situations. Method of teaching is to be amalgamated with learning environment where students attend work with interest. By considering this phenomenon, coursework was designed and conducted for Quantity Surveying module from 2014 as a study because of the poor performance shown by the students for both attendance and yearend written paper in 2012. Necessary data was collected from 2012 to 2016 to analyze the impact of this exercise and found that this exercise has supported for promoting teaching and learning. It has improved students’ attendance, built good relationship with the teacher and gained knowledge to achieve high performance at yearend paper. It was found by this study that encouragement made only for improving attendance is not sufficient to obtain high performance in teaching without proper system for learning. With developed coursework in 2016, students have obtained high marks for yearend paper reaching to grades A and B by 35% and 46% respectively. In addition, students have expressed comments by rating 88% and 77% saying this method was at satisfactory and good level respectively. High impact shown in 2015 and 2016 may be due to the experience gathered by the teacher implementing this learning process from 2014. Therefore application of this coursework for teaching and learning process benefited not only to the students but also to the teachers as both parties are able to achieve their objectives with high performances.Key wards: teaching, learning, coursework, attendance, performance
The Impacts of Brexit on European Equity Markets
Authors: Bohdalová Mária , Greguš Michal
Published: December 2017

The aim of this paper is to give a comprehensive description of the risk dependence and interdependence between selected European stock markets and Brexit equity in the period spanning from January, 7, 2000 to February, 3, 2017. We have studied behavior of extreme quantiles using quantile regression approach. This approach is robust because it is based on the use of various measures of central tendency and dispersion statistics for a detailed analysis of the relationship between variables. We have found evidence of significant interdependence /independence between financial markets and Brexit uncertainty. The analysis of upper and lower quantiles allows us to observe that the interdependence is positive asymmetric and higher for bear markets compared to bull or normal market conditions in the period before the Brexit vote. Moreover, we have analyzed the influence of the Brexit vote on selected markets. We have found that one or two or three days after voting the dependence structure was changed mainly in normal market conditions for French and Turkish markets, while Polish and Spanish markets were not significantly influenced.
Las interpretaciones arqueológicas y la aparición de fortificaciones en el período protohistórico de Corea (300 aC – 300 dC) = The Archaeological Interpretations and the Emergence of Fortifications in the Protohistoric Period of Korea
Authors: Pérez Garcia Victor Lluís
Published: December 2017

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar arqueológicamente las fortificaciones del período protohistórico de Corea (300 aC – 300 dC), desde los terraplenes, empalizadas y fosos de los primeros núcleos de carácter urbano hasta posibles murallas de carácter fronterizo, en un momento clave en la evolución social, política, cultural y arquitectónica de la península, de transición de la aldea a la ciudad y de los cacicazgos tribales a las confederaciones de pequeñas ciudades-estado que acabarían formando los primeros reinos centralizados. Se tienen en consideración yacimientos amurallados del reino de Koguryo (en el norte), de las confederaciones tribales Samhan como las ciudades-estados de Wirye y Saro (en el sur), y de los distritos administrativos del imperio chino en corea (comandancias Han). Ante las turbias y polémicas interpretaciones nacionalistas de las diferentes tradiciones historiográficas del Asia Oriental (Corea, Japón y China), se defiende aquí el papel de la antigua civilización China como estímulo y origen de influencias avanzadas para el desarrollo de la arquitectura militar coreana, junto al urbanismo y a la organización de estructuras estatales, entre otros factores.  This article aims to analyze archaeologically the fortifications of the protohistoric period of Korea (300 BC – 300 AD), comprising the embankments, palisades and moats of the first urban centres as well as possible border walls, in a key moment in the social, political, cultural and architectonic evolution of the peninsula, of transition from villages to cities and from tribal chiefdoms to the confederation of small city-states that eventually formed the first centralized kingdoms. It is taken into account walled sites of the Koguryo kingdom (in the north), of the Samhan tribal confederations like the city-states of Wirye and Saro (in the south), and of the administrative districts of the Chinese empire in Korea (Han commanderies). Given the murky and controversial nationalist interpretations of the different East Asian historiographical traditions (Korea, Japan and China), we will try to situate within its context the emergence of the urban military architecture in the peninsula and the nearby area, considering the constructions undertaken both by Chinese authorities and by the first Korean confederacies. We will try to place the emergence of the urban military architecture of the peninsula and the nearby area within its context, considering the constructions undertaken both by Chinese authorities and by the first Korean confederacies.

Poder y corruptelas en Amiano Marcelino = Power and Corruption in Ammianus Marcellinus
Authors: Carrasco Serrano Gregorio
Published: December 2017

Amiano Marcelino constituye, sin duda, una destacable fuente para el estudio de las tensiones y cambios de la sociedad romana a finales del Imperio. De esta manera en las Res Gestae no solamente se atestigua la arbitrariedad de la administración de justicia, o la opresión tributaria, sino también y de forma muy especial aspectos relativos a la corrupción. En este sentido, en el presente trabajo se abordan los testimonios de corruptelas, tráfico de influencias, y abusos de poder, vinculados muy frecuentemente a un ambiente de permisividad oficial, que son reiteradamente objeto de crítica y denuncia por Amiano Marcelino a través de su obra.  Undoubtedly, Ammianus Marcellinus constitutes an outstanding source when studying the tensions and changes in Roman society towards the end of the Empire. In this manner, his Res Gestae not only bears witness to the arbitrariness of the administration of justice or to tax oppression, but also and very particularly, to aspects regarding corruption. In this sense, this work addresses the testimonies of corruption, influence peddling and abuse of public power, very often linked to an atmosphere of permissiveness at the official level, all these being repeatedly criticised and denounced by Ammianus Marcellinus via his work.

TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY: INTEGRATING NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN THE LANGUAGE SKILLS

Over the last decades, we have witnessed a rapid development of technology in the arena of education in general, and more particularly in the area of second/foreign language (SL/FL) teaching, which is the major concern of the present volume. Although it might be logical to state that technology has influenced education and SL/FL teaching practices, perhaps we are just at the very beginning of the integration of new technologies in the context of language education. The interest in technology and its implementation in the SL/FL classroom is not new. Indeed, several researchers, and especially in recent years, have drawn their attention to the potential of technology in the language teaching and learning context (e.g. Beltrán-Palanques 2013, 2014, Chapelle 2013, Taguchi and Sykes 2013, González-Lloret and Ortega 2014, Carrió-Pastor 2016, Martín-Monje et al. 2016). A range of technologies are available for SL/FL teaching, the use of which will be somehow determined by language teachers’ readiness, interest and knowledge. However, it is also true that, on some occasions, access to technology is somehow constrained by external factors that impede teachers’ use of technology in the FL/SL classroom.
Learners’ identifies at stake: Digital identity texts in the ELF classroom

ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the study of identity in digital identity texts produced by English as a foreign language (EFL) learners within a specific subject of the Teacher in Primary Education (English) degree at a Spanish university. To this end, 51 digital identity texts were analysed following a “positioning perspective”, which views identity in terms of “reflexive” and “interactive” positions (Davies & Harré 1990). Results show that learners constructed non-unitary identities whose subject positions were often contradictory. They also associated certain positions with silencing identities, transition identities and identities of competence within the reflexive and interactive categories (cf. Norton & Toohey 2011, Manyak 2004), while ascribing others to their viewers interactively. In general, students discursively presented themselves as competent actors through diverse semiotic and linguistic resources they deployed in an affective narrative style characteristic of some forms of digital communication (Jones & Hafner 2012, Page 2012).

ABSTRACT

The study presented herein is framed within the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) approach and presents the results from the use of an original mobile app, developed by the research team, on the part of 73 students. The app prototype consists of multiple choice questions and answers that assess varied aspects of the grammar, vocabulary and use of English at level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). The application presents motivating gamification components that aim at enhancing students’ participation and regular use of the game. Some of these gamification features are response time, use of competition and training tests, and a score ranking based on nicknames. The study uses different indexes in order to describe the use of the platform and qualitative and quantitative indicators to reach positive conclusions related to students’ increased motivation and improvement in their grammar and vocabulary competence levels.
Phénoménologie de la perception et anthropologie de l’homme en mouvement
Authors: van Vliet Muriel
Published: December 2017

Tim Ingold dégage les lignes générales d’une anthropologie enracinée dans l’expérience sensible du parcours. L’esthétique y occupe une place importante, tandis que les paradigmes biologiques jouent à plein pour faire partir cette anthropologie en deçà de la coupure nature-culture. Il est possible d’interpréter son oeuvre comme un prolongement du programme d’une théorie de la culture définie par Ernst Cassirer et Aby Warburg comme anthropologie de l’homme en mouvement, en le nourrissant de nouveaux terrains ethnologiques et de nouvelles avancées en biologie. Ingold entrelace théorie du vivant et théorie de la culture. Cette articulation suppose de se centrer sur la dynamique de la transformation des figures, c’est-à-dire de renouveler l’approche morphologique. Pourquoi l’approche ethnologique d’oeuvres qui valent autant comme créations artistiques que comme documents culturels se trouve-t-elle occuper une place si décisive au sein de cette anthropologie ? Si on lie fortement phénoménologie et anthropologie, l’anthropologie de l’art devient décisive, car l’art joue un rôle révélateur des paradigmes à l’oeuvre pour mener à bien cette articulation. Et c’est sans doute à ce tournant esthétique que nous assistons actuellement en partie en anthropologie.
Anthropologie de l’expérience de la douleur chronique
Authors: Le Breton David
Published: December 2017

Il s’agit d’interroger les significations intimes de la douleur chronique à travers une anthropologie de l’expérience. La douleur imprègne d’autant plus l’existence qu’elle est durable, inscrite dans la durée. L’individu finit par devenir l’intrus de sa propre existence, il est chassé de sa personne par une puissance négative qui s’est emparée de lui, et qui est d’autant plus destructrice qu’il échoue à s’en détourner, son pouvoir d’agir se dérobant à lui.
Efficacité thérapeutique comme ligne de fuite
Authors: Laplante Julie , Sacrini Marcus
Published: December 2017

L’efficacité thérapeutique est au coeur de l’anthropologie médicale qui s’intéresse aux diverses pratiques de guérison à travers le monde. Il s’agit ici de reprendre ce débat à partir d’une recherche de terrain conduite au sein des pratiquesjamuà Yogyakarta (Jogja) à Java en Indonésie. La préparation et la consommation quotidienne de breuvages à bases de plantes, rhizomes, épices, écorces fraiches que l’on roule, presse, pile et liquéfie évoquent une efficacité thérapeutique située au niveau de l’expérience vécue. Nous emprunterons à la phénoménologie de la perception merleau-pontienne, à la pensée rhizomique deleuzo-guattarienne, ainsi qu’à la philosophie javanaise du corps qui permettent de comprendre cette efficacité thérapeutique comme ligne de fuite ou de déterritorialisation. Ce faisant, nous rappelons que l’efficacité thérapeutique réduite à des corrélations causales infra-phénoménales, tel que dans l’actuel standard scientifique de l’essai clinique randomisé (ECR), ne couvre pas de façon exhaustive l’expérience humaine du processus thérapeutique.
De résonances phénoménologiques dans le monde chinois
Authors: Micollier Évelyne
Published: December 2017

Des expériences taoïstes et duqìgōng(氣功, maîtrise, art duqì) – expériences du corps, du développement de la personne et de cultivation de soi, religieuses et thérapeutiques – résonnent avec des approches phénoménologiques, plus particulièrement avec la phénoménologie de la perception. Hérité de connaissances et de techniques à la croisée des chemins des arts martiaux, thérapeutiques et religieux dans le monde chinois, leqìgōngest une constellation d’expériences modernes (il a émergé au début XXe siècle) et contemporaines (se situant à l’ère de la réforme économique post-1979). Ses formes multiples aux variantes infinies dessinent une configuration complexe aux implications sociales et politicoreligieuses qui permettent de le définir aussi comme une pratique sociale. Situées entre théories de la connaissance et études d’expériences, comment les phénoménologies en anthropologie peuvent-elles nourrir la discussion sur les phénoménologies locales dans un échange réciproque transdisciplinaire entre philosophie, ethnologie et études aréales ? L’article est organisé en deux parties : l’une porte sur des aspects de la phénoménologie en philosophie et en anthropologie en lien avec des résonances dans le monde chinois ; l’autre se focalise sur ces résonances avec l’exemple d’expériences duqìgōngentrelacées à des expériences taoïstes.
Travail, morale et dépendance personnelle
Authors: Pantaleón Jorge , Castracani Lucio
Published: December 2017

La littérature sur les programmes pour la main-d’oeuvre agricole temporaire au Canada a plutôt analysé le cadre juridico-légal et ses répercussions sur le travail, montrant des conditions de vie et de travail comparables dans certains cas à une forme de servitude contemporaine. Dans cet article, à partir de nos terrains de recherche respectifs au Québec, nous approfondissons la dimension personnelle de la relation dans ces contextes caractérisés par plusieurs sources de vulnérabilité. La dimension personnelle de la relation capital-travail s’articule ainsi dans un cadre juridico-légal et demeure fondamentale dans l’organisation et le contrôle de la main-d’oeuvre dans le contexte de production actuel. Explorant le croisement d’évaluations morales et de compétences professionnelles, nous proposons quatre variantes de la relation entre employeur et main-d’oeuvre, fonctionnelles pour l’organisation du travail dans les fermes.
Le quotidien, des gestes et la vie
Authors: Lorcy Armelle
Published: December 2017

Le quotidien est en général perçu comme une routine, comme une banalité insignifiante. Mais l’étude des gestes, abordés sous l’angle des maladresses et donc de la rupture, en révèle toute la singularité. À partir d’une ethnographie des gestes domestiques des Noirs descendants d’esclaves africains du littoral Pacifique équatorien, cet article a pour objectif de montrer comment la vie quotidienne leur offre une multitude de possibilités d’agir sur la vie et la mort. Les gestes domestiques désignent des gestes ménagers, utilitaires et intimes exécutés de préférence dans l’enceinte de la maison. Leur « efficacité symbolique » tient à leur capacité à maintenir une distance sans cesse renouvelée face à la menace de la mort, signe d’une volonté d’agir et de réagir face à l’incertitude de l’avenir pour mieux faire place à la vie.
Les giletes de Francesc Fontanella com a model d’una literatura catalana culta
Authors: Castaño Trias Marta
Published: December 2017

Resum: Francesc Fontanella va escriure un total de 77 poemes amorosos dirigits a Gileta. El conjunt poètic de les giletes (denominat així pel criptònim de la dama) conforma un dels blocs de la seva producció literària que compta amb una transmissió manuscrita i impresa més àmplia; en alguns dels manuscrits unitaris fins i tot tenen una portada pròpia. Una altra prova del ressò cultural dels poemes a Gileta són les mostres d’imitacions d’autors anònims que s’inspiren específicament del conjunt fontanellà que s’han conservat en diversos manuscrits i que representen, des de perspectives molt diferents, l’herència del poeta barroc barceloní en la literatura catalana. Paraules clau: barroc, giletes, poesia amorosa, Francesc Fontanella, imitacions. Abstract: Francesc Fontanella wrote 77 love poems dedicated to Gileta. The group of poems called giletes (because of the name of the pseudonym of the lady) became one of the most copied parts of his literary production in manuscripts and in printed materials; in some of the unitarian manuscripts they even have their own cover. The imitations of the anonymous authors who are specifically inspired by the work of Fontanella also prove the cultural impact of the poems to Gileta. These imitations have been copied in several manuscripts and they represent, from different points of view, the legacy of the Barcelonan baroque poet in the Catalan literature. Keywords: baroque, giletes, love poetry, Francesc Fontanella, imitations.
La sentencia del certamen poético de Sant Just (1438): edición y estudio preliminar
Authors: Martí Sadurní
Published: December 2017

Resumen: En este trabajo publica por primera vez la sentencia de un concurso poético medieval celebrado en la iglesia Barcelonesa de Sant Just en junio de 1438. El tema elegido para la ocasión fue el maldecir de Amor y la joya fue ofrecida por Bartomeu Castelló. Sabemos que a él concurrieron Guillem y Joan Berenguer de Masdovelles. Lo sorprendente de esta sentencia reportada por el Cancionero del Marqués de Barberà es que, no sólo presenta el discurso-sermón inicial (con un sorprendente diálogo casi teatralizado), sino también una glosa de las piezas presentadas, en un texto que alterna catalán y latín. Palabras clave: Consistori, Poesía de certamen, Masdovelles, Cançoners Abstract: This paper edits for the first time the sentence of a medieval poetical contest celebrated at the Sant Just church of Barcelona, in June 1438. The chosen thema was the lament against Love and the jewel to be awarded was offered by Bartomeu Castelló. We know the poets Guillem and Joan Berenguer de Masdovelles participated. The most remarkable aspect of this verdict, written in Catalan and Latin, and copied in the songbook of the Marquis of Barberà, is that not only presents the starting speech-preaching (which includes a para-theatrical dialogue), but also a commentary of the pieces that competed. Keywords: Consistori, Contest poetry, Masdovelles, Songbooks
Establiments comercials i fires en la poesia de Pau Puig
Authors: Serra Milà Maria-Rosa
Published: December 2017

Resum: Entre l’obra en vers de Pau Puig trobem una vintena de composicions dedicades a botigues i fondes barcelonines, la majoria relacionada amb petits altars o capelles que s’hi havien instal·lat. Fidel al seu estil, Puig hi manté un to desenfadat i utilitza gran quantitat de locucions i de jocs de paraules referents a les activitats comercials de cada establiment. Més satíric amb els costums llibertins de l’època es mostra l’autor en El Sarrabal de la ciudad de Barcelona para el año 1792, obra en prosa castellana que parodia els calendaris o pronòstics i on va anomenant les festes, processons, saraus i fires que se celebraven a Barcelona al llarg de l’any. En alguns casos incorpora poemes en català i en castellà per il·lustrar les celebracions. Aquí ens centrarem en els poemes referits a les fires. Paraules clau: Pau Puig, segle XVIII, botigues, fires, poesia humorística Abstract: Within Pau Puig’s works we can find some twenty pieces related to shops and inns in Barcelona. Most of them refer to small shrines or chapels located there. Pau Puig, compliant with his style, shows an easygoing tone and uses a wide range of collocations and puns when mentioning the commercial activity of each establishment. Puig is much more satyrical about the libertine mores of his time in his work El Sarrabal de la ciudad de Barcelona para el año 1792 (a kind of What’s On in Barcelona in 1792). This work is written in Spanish prose and makes fun of the calendars and forecasts. He also shows a list of public holidays, religious processions, parties and fairs that take place in Barcelona througout the year. In some cases the author includes poems in Spanish and Catalan to enlighten the celebrations. This paper will focus on the poems related to fairs. Keywords: Pau Puig, XVIII century, shops, fairs, humorous poetry

RIPARIAN FOREST COMMUNITIES ALONG WATERCOURSES IN THE SUTJESKA NATIONAL PARK (SE BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA)
Authors: Milanović Đorđije , Stupar Vladimir
Published: December 2017

The paper deals with the floristic and ecological diversity of the riparian forest and scrub communitiesof the Sutjeska National Park in SE Bosnia and Herzegovina. Watercourses of the NP are represented bymontane to submontane small rivers and creeks with fast-flowing water and frequent strong but shortfloods. This caused specific types of riverine forest vegetation to develop along their banks. Classificationand ordination methods of numerical analysis were applied on 42 relevés sampled in the field. Theclassification has revealed five ecologically interpretable relevé groups: (1) willow scrub of Salix eleagnosand S. caprea on fertile fine grained deposits; (2) forests of Alnus glutinosa and Salix alba also onfiner deposits; (3) narrow strips of Alnus glutinosa along the low banks of smaller streams; (4) narrowstrips of Alnus glutinosa along the steep banks of wider streams; (5) thermo-mesophilous scrub of Salixeleagnos and Ostrya carpinifolia on gravel beds. All five groups are floristically and ecologically welldistinguished. While groups 1 and 3 are similar to already described communities from Central Europe(Salicetum eleagno-purpureae and Stellario nemorum-Alnetum glutinosae, respectivelly), groups 4 and5 most probably present, up to date, undescribed associations. Group 2 is rather floristically and ecologicallyheterogeneous, and as such possess transitional character (between Salicion albae and Alnionincanae alliances). Ordination revealed ecological gradient from nutrient rich (groups 1 and 2) to lessnutrient rich communities (groups 4 and 5).
REZONOVANJE NA OSNOVU SLUČAJEVA U SISTEMIMA PODRŠKE ODLUČIVANJU KOJI SE ZASNIVAJU NA ZNANJU

U članku se istražuje mogućnost primjene rezonovanja koje se zasniva na slučajevima u sistemima podrške odlučivanju, naročito u inteligentnim sistemima za podršku odlučivanju, ekspertnim sistemima i drugim sistemima podrške odlučivanju koji se zasnivaju na znanju iz baza znanja. Za istraživanje korišćene su metode deskripcije, analize, sinteze i komparacije. Cilj rada je da se ukaže na mogućnost primjene rezonovanja koje se zasniva na slučajevima za podršku odlučivanju. Zaključeno je da se metode i tehnike rezonovanja na slučajevima mogu koristiti za automatizaciju prikupljanja i smještanja znanja u baze znanja, ali i za sticanje znanja učenjem na osnovu slučajeva iz prošlosti, koje se može koristiti za donošenje boljih odluka u budućnosti.
MOGUĆNOST IMPLEMENTACIJE BALANCED SCORECARDA U ZDRAVSTVENIM NEPROFITNIM ORGANIZACIJAMA
Authors: Stević Slađana , Petrović Teodor
Published: December 2017

Balanced Scorecard (BSC) predstavlja savremeni pristup mjerenju i upravljanju performansama strategijski orijentisanih organizacija, koji nalazi ravnotežu između finansijskih i nefinansijskih pokazatelja, internog i eksternog okruženja, kratkoročnih akcija i postavljene strategije. Postizanje ove ravnoteže može se posmatrati kroz četiri različite perspektive, koje imaju vlastita mjerila i ciljeve i međusobno su povezane sa glavnom strategijom. Teoretičari i praktičari sve se više pitaju šta su performanse zdravstvenih sistema i koliko su efikasne zdravstvene organizacije. Oni su pokušali primijeniti neke alate i metoda dostupne za merenje i poboljšanje upravljanja u pojedinim oblastima zdravstvene zaštite, a jedan je i BSC. Dok je BSC model brzo preuzet od profitnih organizacija, u neprofitnom sektoru (NPS) je sporo prihvaćen, a jedan od razloga je što se neprofitne organizacije (NPO) u značajnoj mjeri oslanjaju na nefinansijsku statistiku za koju vjeruju da može zamijeniti model BSC. Neprofitne zdravstvene organizacije prepoznaju da je finansijska metrika nedovoljna za mjerenje i upravljanje performansama i da su neophodni i nefinansijski indikatori. U radu je ispitana mogućnost uvođenja BSC u zdravstvene NPO. Putem anketiranja zaposlenih izvršeno je istraživanje postojećeg sistema mjerenja u zdravstvenoj ustanovi. Ocijenjene su četiri perspektive modela: sa stanovišta korisnika, internih procesa, razvoja zaposlenih i finansija i mogućnost implementacije u zdravstvenoj ustanovi. Prema mišljenju dvije trećine anketiranih, postoji mogućnost implementacije BSC sa raspoloživim resursima i multidimenzionalno mjerenje performansi u ovoj zdravstvenoj ustanovi, a naglasak je na perspektivi korisnika i finansijskoj perspektivi. Kritična tačka implementacije BSC u neprofitnim zdravstvenim organizacijama je povezivanje strateških ciljeva i sistema naknada i stimulacija.

The phylogenetic position of three taxa from two trematode genera, belonging to the subfamily Acanthostominae (Opisthorchioidea: Cryptogonimidae), were analysed using partial 28S ribosomal DNA (Domains 1–2) and internal transcribed spacers (ITS1–5.8S–ITS2). Bayesian inference and Maximum likelihood analyses of combined 28S rDNA and ITS1 + 5.8S + ITS2 sequences indicated the monophyly of the genusAcanthostomum(A.cf.americanumandA. burminis) and paraphyly of the Acanthostominae.These phylogenetic relationships were consistent in analyses of 28S alone and concatenated 28S + ITS1 + 5.8S + ITS2 sequences analyses. Based on molecular phylogenetic analyses, the subfamily Acanthostominae is therefore a paraphyletic taxon, in contrast with previous classifications based on morphological data. Phylogenetic patterns of host specificity inferred from adult stages of other cryptogonimid taxa are also well supported. However, analyses using additional genera and species are necessary to support the phylogenetic inferences from this study. Our molecular phylogenetic reconstruction linked two larval stages ofA.cf.americanumcercariae and metacercariae. Here, we present the evolutionary and ecological implications of parasitic infections in freshwater and brackish environments.

Objective:

The purpose of this study was to compare the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status and Ki-67 index by immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis in breast carcinoma to determine the level of concordance between core-needle biopsy (CNB) and surgical specimens.

Summary of Background:

Accurate preoperative diagnosis of a breast lesion has recently been considered essential to the treatment strategy to achieve optimal treatment without delay. However, the reliability of using CNB specimens for IHC assessment is in relatively small number of cases and differing results between previous studies.

Methods:

The patients included in this study were 255 patients with primary breast carcinoma who had CNB and subsequent surgical resection at the Hospital of Dokkyo Medical University between 2010 and 2016. We compare the ER, PgR, HER2 status, and Ki-67 index by IHC analysis in breast carcinoma between CNB and surgical specimens.

Results:

There was a concordance rate between the ER, PgR, HER2, and Ki-67 IHC assessment of CNB and surgical specimens in 99.0%, 92.1%, 86.3%, and 91.5%, respectively. We also found small numbers of discordant cases in the estimation for which a discrepancy in determination led to a change in treatment.

Conclusions:

Our results do not entirely invalidate the use of CNB for assessment if they are the only source of tumor tissue available, but suggest a more cautious approach in their interpretation when clinical decisions are being made.
Impact of Stratospheric Sudden Warming on the Occurrence of the Equatorial Spread‐F
Authors: Jose Lijo , Vineeth C. , Pant T. K.
Published: December 2017

This study presents the influence of stratospheric sudden warming (SSW) events in modulating the start time of the equatorial spread‐F (ESF) through enhanced planetary wave (PW) activity during the winter months of the SSW years. The analysis based on the data from a digital ionosonde and proton precession magnetometer over Trivandrum (8.5°N, 77°E, 0.5°N dip lat.) revealed that the PWs of quasi‐16 day periodicity influence the start time of the ESF to a significant extent during the SSW years. On the other hand, during a normal year such effect is not very evidently present. It has been observed that the quasi‐16 day wave propagates to ionospheric dynamo region from the atmosphere below and modifies the electrodynamical processes like the equatorial electrojet and prereversal enhancement, which is more pronounced during both the SSW periods. Such a modification in the electrodynamics can modulate the equatorial plasma fountain and influence the F region neutral dynamics, which in turn can affect the occurrence of ESF by modifying the seeding conditions.
Electromagnetic Electron Cyclotron Instability in the Solar Wind

Published: December 2017

The abundant reports on the existence of electromagnetic high‐frequency fluctuations in space plasmas have increased the expectations that theoretical modeling may help understand their origins and implications (e.g., kinetic instabilities and dissipation). This paper presents an extended quasi‐linear approach of the electromagnetic electron cyclotron instability in conditions typical for the solar wind, where the anisotropic electrons (T⊥>T∥) exhibit a dual distribution combining a bi‐Maxwellian core and bi‐Kappa halo. Involving both the core and halo populations, the instability is triggered by the cumulative effects of these components, mainly depending of their anisotropies. The instability is not very sensitive to the shape of halo distribution function conditioned in this case by the power index κ. This result seems to be a direct consequence of the low density of electron halo, which is assumed more dilute than the core component in conformity with the observations in the ecliptic. Quasi‐linear time evolutions predicted by the theory are confirmed by the particle‐in‐cell simulations, which also suggest possible explanations for the inherent differences determined by theoretical constraints. These results provide premises for an advanced methodology to characterize, realistically, the electromagnetic electron cyclotron instability and its implication in the solar wind.
Geostatistical Analysis of Mesoscale Spatial Variability and Error in SeaWiFS and MODIS/Aqua Global Ocean Color Data

Published: December 2017

Mesoscale (10–300 km, weeks to months) physical variability strongly modulates the structure and dynamics of planktonic marine ecosystems via both turbulent advection and environmental impacts upon biological rates. Using structure function analysis (geostatistics), we quantify the mesoscale biological signals within global 13 year SeaWiFS (1998–2010) and 8 year MODIS/Aqua (2003–2010) chlorophyll a ocean color data (Level‐3, 9 km resolution). We present geographical distributions, seasonality, and interannual variability of key geostatistical parameters: unresolved variability or noise, resolved variability, and spatial range. Resolved variability is nearly identical for both instruments, indicating that geostatistical techniques isolate a robust measure of biophysical mesoscale variability largely independent of measurement platform. In contrast, unresolved variability in MODIS/Aqua is substantially lower than in SeaWiFS, especially in oligotrophic waters where previous analysis identified a problem for the SeaWiFS instrument likely due to sensor noise characteristics. Both records exhibit a statistically significant relationship between resolved mesoscale variability and the low‐pass filtered chlorophyll field horizontal gradient magnitude, consistent with physical stirring acting on large‐scale gradient as an important factor supporting observed mesoscale variability. Comparable horizontal length scales for variability are found from tracer‐based scaling arguments and geostatistical decorrelation. Regional variations between these length scales may reflect scale dependence of biological mechanisms that also create variability directly at the mesoscale, for example, enhanced net phytoplankton growth in coastal and frontal upwelling and convective mixing regions. Global estimates of mesoscale biophysical variability provide an improved basis for evaluating higher resolution, coupled ecosystem‐ocean general circulation models, and data assimilation.

Published: December 2017

The distributions of dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), and acrylic acid (AA) were investigated in the Changjiang Estuary during winter (dry season) and summer (wet season) 2014 and in the East China Sea (ECS) during summer 2015. The rates of dissolved DMSP (DMSPd) degradation with DMS and AA production, DMS degradation, and AA degradation in the ECS were also studied. Significant seasonal variations in DMS(P) and AA concentrations were observed in the Changjiang Estuary with higher values during the wet season than during the dry season. The maximum ratio of AA/chlorophyll a (Chl a) occurred at the mouth of the Changjiang Estuary due to the combined effects of production from DMSP and terrestrial inputs from the Changjiang Estuary. The distributions of DMS(P) and AA in the ECS were dramatically influenced by the Kuroshio Current and the upwelling caused by the Taiwan Warm Current. The ratios of DMS(P)/Chl a and AA/Chl a exhibited similar patterns in the surface seawater of the ECS, which indicated that phytoplankton species and biomass might play important roles in controlling the distributions of DMS(P) and AA. In vertical profiles, high values of AA emerged in the upper water column and bottom seawater of the Changjiang Estuary. Meanwhile, the maxima of DMS(P) and AA generally appeared in the surface or euphotic layer, whereas their minima arose in the bottom seawater of the ECS. The degradation rates of DMSPd, DMS, and AA in the inshore waters were higher than those in the open sea.
Evolution of the North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water in Anticyclonic Eddies

Anticyclonic eddies (AEs) trap and transport the North Pacific subtropical mode water (STMW), but the evolution of the STMW trapped in AEs has not been fully studied due to the lack of eddy‐tracking subsurface observations. Here we analyze profiles from special‐designed Argo floats that follow two STMW‐trapping AEs for more than a year. The enhanced daily sampling by these Argo floats swirling around the eddies enables an unprecedented investigation into the structure and evolution of the trapped STMW. In the AEs, the upper (lower) thermocline domes up (concaves downward), and this lens‐shaped double thermocline encompasses the thick STMW within the eddy core. The lighter STMW (25.0 ∼ 25.2 σθ) trapped in AEs dissipates quickly after the formation in winter because of the deepening seasonal thermocline, but the denser STMW (25.2 ∼ 25.4 σθ) remains largely unchanged except when the AE passes across the Izu Ridge. The enhanced diapycnal mixing over the ridge weakens the denser STMW appreciably. While many AEs decay upon hitting the ridge, some pass through a bathymetric gap between the Hachijojima and Bonin Islands, forming a cross‐ridge pathway for STMW transport. By contrast, the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) underneath is deeper than the eddy trapping depth (600 m), and hence left behind east of the Izu Ridge. In Argo climatology, the shallow STMW (< 400 m) intrudes through the gap westward because of the eddy transport, while the NPIW (800 m) is blocked by the Izu Ridge.
Tropical Cyclone‐Driven Sediment Dynamics Over the Australian North West Shelf

Published: December 2017

Owing to their strong forcing at the air‐sea interface, tropical cyclones are a major driver of hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics of continental shelves, strongly impacting marine habitats and offshore industries. Despite the North West Shelf of Australia being one of the most frequently impacted tropical cyclone regions worldwide, there is limited knowledge of how tropical cyclones influence the sediment dynamics of this shelf region, including the significance of these episodic extreme events to the normal background conditions that occur. Using an extensive 2 year data set of the in situ sediment dynamics and 14 yearlong calibrated satellite ocean‐color data set, we demonstrate that alongshore propagating cyclones are responsible for simultaneously generating both strong wave‐induced sediment resuspension events and significant southwestward subtidal currents. Over the 2 year study period, two particular cyclones (Iggy and Narelle) dominated the sediment fluxes resulting in a residual southwestward sediment transport over the southern part of the shelf. By analyzing results from a long‐term (37 year) wind and wave hindcast, our results suggest that at least 16 tropical cyclones had a strong potential to contribute to that southwestward sediment pathway in a similar way to Iggy and Narelle.
