Expertise practice of clinical transplant coordinators in Japan
Authors: Hagiwara Kuniko , Seto Natsuko , Shimizu Yasuko
Published: January 2018

Objective: This study aimed to describe the expertise practice of nurse clinical transplant coordinators (CTCs) in organ transplantation medical care.Methods: To present the expertise practices of CTCs, we conducted a qualitative descriptive study using semistructured interviews. We performed an analysis according to analytical methods from the (Modified) Grounded Theory Approach (M-GTA) proposed by Kinoshita.Results: The expertise practice of CTCs was associated with 14 categories: [conscious communication toward compromise], [observation to understand actual intention], [conversation content that quickly notices the other’s reaction and changes], [engaging so that patients and families do not have regrets after a transplantation], [provide support for the self-determination process and advocate the decision], [autonomous judgment and timely response while assessing patient conditions], [coordination in response to changes in conditions], [assertive communication with physicians], [care that is aware of team medicine], [mediate to build trust between patients/families and medical staff], [long-term care as a permanent primary], [promoting self-monitoring by grasping the timing of guidance], [stepping forward to solve problems], and [evaluate their own ability appropriately and have humble attitude].Conclusions: CTC in Japan demonstrates expertise practice with decision support during transplant selection, coordination during the transplant process, and long-term continuing care. In addition, this study highlighted that CTCs in Japan had been conducting autonomous practice as a nurse and providing comprehensive care including patients, family members, and living donors. Our results clarified the experienced CTC’s expertise practices in all organ transplants and can be used to improve and assess the quality of care given by Japanese CTCs in the transplant process.

The Integrity of the Tax System after BEPS: A Shared Responsibility

The international tax system is the result of the interaction of different actors who share the responsibility for its integrity. States and multinational corporations both enjoy to a certain extent freedom of choice with regard to their tax behaviour – which entails moral responsibility. Making, interpreting and using tax rules therefore is inevitably a matter of exercising responsibility. Both should abstain from viewing tax laws as a bunch of technical rules to be used as a tool without any intrinsic moral or legal value. States bear primary responsibility for the integrity of the international tax system. They should become more reticent in their use of tax as regulatory instrument – competing with one another for multinationals’ investment. They should also act more responsibly by cooperating to make better rules to prevent aggressive tax planning, which entails a shift in tax payments from very expert taxpayers to other taxpayers. Here, the distributive justice of the tax system and a level playing field should be guaranteed. Multinationals should abstain from putting pressure on states and lobbying for favourable tax rules that disproportionally affect other taxpayers – SMEs and individual taxpayers alike. Multinationals and their tax advisers should avoid irresponsible conduct by not aiming to pay a minimalist amount of (corporate income) taxes – merely staying within the boundaries of the letter of the law. Especially CSR-corporations should assume the responsibility for the integrity of the tax system.
Post-BEPS Tax Advisory and Tax Structuring from a Tax Practitioner’s View

Post-BEPS Tax Advisory and Tax Structuring from a Tax Practitioner’s View

The international tax landscape is changing and it is changing fast. The political perception is that taxation of multinational enterprises is not aligned with the ‘economic activity’ that produces their profits (i.e. not aligned with ‘value creation’). The perception links ‘value creation’ with ‘employees and sales’.

In the BEPS Project of the OECD, the OECD attempts to combat base erosion and profit shifting and to align taxation with value creation. In this article, the authors discuss the impact they expect BEPS to have on tax advisory and tax planning. The focus goes to BEPS Actions 7, 8-10 and 13.

By maintaining the separate entity approach under BEPS for the taxation of multinationals, has the OECD been forced to ‘stretch’ existing rules beyond their limits? Will the created uncertainty lead to a shift from ‘aggressive tax planning’ by multinationals to ‘aggressive tax collection’ by tax administrations? Will the role of tax advisory change from advising on the lowest possible effective tax rate to a broader advice including risk appetite and public expectations?
Pre-service teachers’ reflections on teaching a physics lesson: How does Lesson Study and Content Representation affect pre-service teachers’ potential to start developing PCK during reflections on a physics lesson
Authors: Juhler Martin Vogt
Published: January 2018

Shulman states that deliberate reflections are needed in order for teachers to start developing their Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK). This is important, since a teacher who has a well-developed PCK, also has integrated knowledge of theory and practice. However, recent research has found that reflection, as used during mentoring in field practice, regularly is an obstacle to deliberate reflection. Thus, the theory-practice divide persists. This study addresses this problem by introducing Lesson Study and Content Representation as an intervention in teacher education field practice. The results of the intervention showed that the pre-service teachers reflected differently compared to the current state of practice. During the intervention, they focused more on ‘Goals for instruction’, ‘Pupils and their learning’, ‘Best representation of specific content’, and ‘Specific assessment’. These differences in reflection might lead to pre-service teachers developing a more inter-related understanding of these focus areas as opposed to what happens in the current state of practice. This, in turn, could affect the per-service teachers’ potential to start developing their PCK. Consequently, this might give teacher educators a new way of addressing the problem of the theory-practice divide. However, further studies are needed on the quality of these differences and whether or not the intervention influences the pre-service teachers’ practices in the future.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar a relação entre valores pessoais, atitude empreendedora e intenção empreendedora em estudantes universitários brasileiros, comparando o modelo norte-americano proposto por Watchravesringkan et. al. (2013). Tomando como ponto de partida o estudo norte-americano, foi realizada uma pesquisa, quantitativa e descritiva, com estudantes de graduação em Administração (n=204) de duas instituições de ensino brasileiras, no Rio Grande do Sul (uma pública e outra privada). A modelagem de equações estruturais foi utilizada para validar e testar as hipóteses do modelo. Os resultados foram que os valores pessoais influenciaram positivamente a atitude empreendedora (R=0,152) e que a atitude empreendedora impactou fortemente na intenção empreendedora (R=0,773) dos estudantes investigados. O modelo cognitivo de tomada de decisão inicialmente proposto e testado nos Estados Unidos, e posteriormente adaptado e aplicado em estudantes brasileiros por meio desta pesquisa, contribui para a validação empírica de instrumentos que medem valores, atitude e intenção empreendedora, e pode ser uma alternativa efetiva para predizer intenções em seguir uma carreira empreendedora em universitários.

Published: January 2018

The main aim of this article is to emphasize the potential effect of compression clothing in a group of runners. We want to provide an objective view on evaluation of the advantages or potential risks in the use of compression clothing (socks or calf sleeves). This work is not a metanalysis, the purpose of this study provides basic information about the use of compression clothing. The work focuses on selected parameters which directly or indirectly determine the sport performance and affects the ability to repeat the sport performance. The scientific literature describes only two potential effects of compression clothing (increased venous flow and reduced muscle oscillation). As with most trends that come and go in sports, it takes a while to evaluate with the practice for the science. In our work, we focus on selected parameters with regard compression value. Based on scientific sources, the effect of compression clothing for sport performance and recovery is unclear. It is also caused by applied compression which is not also written in scientific literature. At this point, we want to emphasize this fact is probably important not only for future study design but also for customers. It makes sense if the different compression pressure lead to different results then it should exist the gold standard depending on the pressure and types of physical activity.

Published: January 2018

It has been demonstrated that coal mining leads to land degradation and devegetation with subsequent desertification of landscapes. Recently, it has become a worldwide environmental and socioeconomic problem. The presented study was performed on various stratigraphic types of artificial edaphotopes on the reclaimed site of “Pavlogradskaya” mine (Pavlograd, Dnipropetrovsk region, Ukraine) planted with eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana L.). The features of the structure of oribatid mite (Oribatida) population as primary destructors of dead plant material that provide such ecosystem service as improvement of soil fertility are considered. The amount of oribatid mite species varied from 17 to 26 within the studied plots in the topsoil under the red cedar. The minimal quantity of species (17 and 19, accordingly) was found in recultivated plots covered with Calcic Chernozem on the interlayer of loesslike loam and Calcic Chernozem on the interlayer of sand compared to loess-like loam topsoil (26 species). The average density of populations of oribatid mites varied from 1820 to 2887 ind./m2. A higher meaning for average population density was found for Calcic Chernozem cover (from 2333 to 2887 ind./m2). In the population of oribatida in all studied artificial edaphotops under the red cedar within reclaimed forest plots, such common species as Multioppia (M.) glabra (Mihelčič, 1955), Ramusella (Rectoppia) mihelcici (Pérez‒Íñigo, 1965) could be identified.

Published: January 2018

Zantedeschia Spreng. is an economically important ornamental plant species. Improvement of aesthetic parameters and creation of novel variations of decorative plants are important economic goals for the commercial ornamental industry. The effect of the combination of growth regulators and the explant type on dedifferentiation induction in Zantedeschia aethiopica and Zantedeschia elliottianna was investigated. Research was carried out at the Institute of Biology and Plant Biotechnology of Aleksandras Stulginskis University and at the Laboratory of Agrobiotechnology of the Joint Research Centre in 2016–2017. Explants (leaf discs, spathe discs, and petiole segments) were cultured on the MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 30.0 g l–1 sucrose, and 8.0 g l–1 agar. Leaf discs and spathe discs did not show any response in the medium without growth regulators, while 16.3% (Zantedeschia aethiopica) and 24.3% (Zantedeschia elliottianna) of isolated petiole segments formed callus. Our results showed that an appropriate combination of growth regulators for callus induction varied depending on the genetic background and the explant type. It was documented that isolated petiole segments of the arum lily and the calla lily induced more statistically reliable callus in a medium supplemented with combination BAP + IAA, while the combination BAP + IBA promoted callus formation from spathe disc tissues. Petiole segments manifested the highest dedifferentiation capability among the tested explant types. The results of the study showed that the ability of the somatic tissues of the arum lily and the calla lily to induce dedifferentiation seems to be a valuable material for improvement of ornamental values in these plants.
Mudança climática e a pegada ecológica dos resíduos sólidos da cidade de Parintins

Published: January 2018

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo calcular a pegada ecológica (Ecological Footprint Method- EFM) dos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) da cidade de Parintins de 2011 e 2013. Os dados em toneladas foram encontrados na Secretaria Municipal de Limpeza Publica (SEMOSP) e Secretaria Municipal de Meio Ambiente (SEMMA). Posteriormente, se aplicou a metodologia da pegada ecológica que quantifica os resíduos gerados em CO2 e CH4, principais gases do aquecimento global. Depois, aplica-se o fator de equivalência de 1,37 referentes a bioprodutividade global de terras de energia para padronizar em global hectare (gha), a medida da pegada ecológica. O per capita/ano (0,3057 e 0,3763 gha) para os habitantes de Parintins demonstram estar aumentando a pegada ecológica dos RSU. A pegada ecológica agrega vários dados para completar sua matriz de análise. Se associarmos um problema ambiental, como a produção de resíduos sólidos urbanos, com a pegada ecológica, esta conseguirá quantificar ou mensurar sobre a pressão causada ao meio ecológico por nossas ações. Assim podemos acompanhar a mudança ao longo do tempo e comparar com outros espaços urbanos por meio deste indicadorRessalta-se que ainda são raras as pesquisas em cidades amazônicas por meio desse indicador de sustentabilidade. Porem, os resíduos sólidos urbanos por se constituírem num grande problema ambiental, cálculos como estes devem auxiliar na mensuração do impacto ecológico das sociedades urbanas. Por conseguinte, ao quantificarmos por meio de um indicador de sustentabilidade a produção RSU, observou-se a necessidade urgente de acompanhamento dos impactos gerados em outras cidades amazônicas..

Objectives The addition of bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy has been improved survival outcomes in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. However, the combination of bevacizumab with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment showed limited survival benefit. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of the combination of bevacizumab to oxaliplatin and leucovorin (FOLFOX4) in the first-line treatment of patient with metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods Between December 2004 and September 2009, medical records of patients who were diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer and received the first line chemotherapy with bevacizumab and FOLFOX4, were retrospectively reviewed. Results A total of forty patients were analyzed. The median age of the patients was 55 years (range, 33-80), and 55% was male. The patients received a total of 206 cycles of therapy (median 4 cycles per patient; range 1 – 15 cycles). Of these 40 patients, none achieved complete response (CR) and 15 achieved a partial response (PR), for the overall response rate (ORR) 37.5% (95% CI, 22.5-52.5). Median progression free survival (PFS) was 6.9 months (95% CI, 3.4-10.5) and median overall survival (OS) was 22.6 months (95% CI, 17.3-27.8The most common grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicity and non-hematologic toxicity were neutropenia (10.0%) and diarrhea (10.0%), respectively. Two patients experienced gastrointestinal perforation. Conclusions In this study, the combination bevacizumab with FOLFOX4 was associated with favorable OS, but did not showed favorable PFS and ORR.

Imaging of F-18 FDG PET/CT and follow up of bilateral invasive adrenal diffuse large B cell lymphoma mimicking adrenocortical carcinoma
Authors: Shim Hye Kyung , Kim So Woon
Published: January 2018

The incidence of malignant adrenal tumors, including primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) and adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), is rather low. Early differentiation between ACC and PAL is necessary because the therapeutic strategies for the two differ and the prognosis of each disease is poor. Unfortunately, there is no pathognomonic characteristic of PAL, so radiologists have difficulty in differentiating it from ACC. To our knowledge, there have been only two case reports on ACC that was evaluated and followed up using F-18 FDG PET/CT. The previously reported cases were simple, involving only the bilateral adrenal glands. Here, we report on a 52-year-old man diagnosed with PAL that radiologically mimicked ACC. He had findings of heterogeneous enhancement on CT, several adjacent lymphadenopathies with internal necrosis, and abutting hepatic and bilateral crural invasion. After pathological confirmation, we monitored his prognosis using F-18 FDG PET/CT after three cycles of rituximab-CHOP and again after six cycles of treatment.
The lack of alternative income sources: The case of ornamental fishing in the Inirida fluvial confluence, Colombian Amazon

In this paper we present a case study of the impoverished ornamental fishing situation in the Inirida Fluvial Confluence (IFC) in Colombia. For this purpose fieldwork was conducted to obtain primary data from fishermen in the zone. The results indicate that effort applied to create different economic activities have no significant impact on the income of fishermen. Community Agreements for Responsible Fishing (CARF) could be an effective policy for management of the resource; nevertheless, their establishment can bring a loss of livelihoods when there are no clear alternative income sources, and may be incompatible with poverty alleviation objectives. Due to this, alternative sources of income should also be promoted in policy-making.

A high percentage of companies that compete in the market belong to a business group. This paper analyses the competitive advantages between independent firms and firms belonging to a business group, focusing on the Spanish wine industry. The authors studied 339 wineries, compared their resources and capabilities, the strategies used and their business performance. The results suggest that while resources and capabilities are key for independent firms it is the business strategy that is most important for firms belonging to a business group. The study sheds more light on the application of specific elements to explain a firm’s business performance.

Genetic analysis can provide important information on the dynamic and spatial structure of groups of animals or populations. Little is known of the genetic population structure of caribou that inhabit the Lake Superior Coastal Range (LSCR) and the level of gene flow between individuals within the range and beyond. From a landscape perspective, this range is spatially isolated and genetic connectivity within the range is presumed limited due to large water crossings on Lake Superior. This study aims to answer if animal movement can be discerned, using genetic population and relatedness analyses, within and beyond the LSCR. Faecal and hair samples collected between 2005 and 2015 in Pukaskwa National Park were analyzed for genetic markers and compared to 131 unique genotypes previously obtained from both within the LSCR and in the two next closest ranges. Animals from one nearshore island (i.e. Otter) were more closely associated with offshore islands than other mainland caribou, likely a result of past movement and translocation rather than ongoing movement. Conversely, on another nearshore island (i.e. Pic), individuals assigned to a different genetic cluster and were related to animals further north outside the range, demonstrating some connectivity through the discontinuous distribution to the coast. Long-term population declines have been observed in the LSCR range despite genetic connectivity within the range and relatively low total habitat disturbance. Restoring connectivity of the LSCR so that it is not isolated from populations to the north is required for the recovery of the mainland portion of the coastal range. These genetic analyses provide some insights on where movements may occur and where landscape restoration efforts may best be directed to enhance connectivity.
Narración individual versus narración conversacional: un puente entre el variacionismo y la interacción
Authors:   Universidad de Chile, Guerrero González Silvana
Published: January 2018

Esta investigación compara la construcción y la coconstrucción de narraciones de experien-cia personal en relación con los factores sexo y grupo socioeconómico, en hablantes de San-tiago de Chile. Sobre la base de una muestra de 90 narraciones, primero se contrasta la cons-trucción de la narración individual con la coconstruida, siguiendo la propuesta laboviana (Labov y Waletzky, 1967; Labov, 1972) y, luego, se estudia la sensibilidad a la variación de las narraciones de la muestra, para comprobar dos hipótesis, a saber, que la estructura narrativa laboviana prototípica —derivada de narraciones obtenidas mediante entrevista sociolingüís-tica— es válida para analizar la narración que se genera en interacción y que las narraciones coconstruidas entre mujeres son más cercanas en su estructura a las narraciones labovia-nas prototípicas. Los resultados apuntan a que existe una estructura semántica profunda invariante de los relatos, que no depende del instrumento de recolección de los mismos. Se comprueba, además, que solo el factor grupo socioeconómico es el que se relaciona con la variación, y que el resumen y la coda son los elementos variables del relato individual, pero en la narración conversacional varían la complicación y la resolución.
Necesidades formativas emergentes: corpus virtuales como recurso para la formación en Traducción e Interpretación en los Servicios Públicos

Published: January 2018

La creciente necesidad de una mediación lingüística y cultural entre los agentes de los servicios públicos y los usuarios que no dominan la lengua de las administraciones públicas ha hecho posible la aparición de una disciplina dentro de los Estudios de Traducción llamada Traducción e Interpretación en los Servicios Públicos (TISP), que engloba distintos ámbitos especializados de actuación como el sanitario o administrativo, entre otros. La documentación en estos casos se presenta como necesaria para que el traductor e intérprete adquiera las habilidades y los conocimientos adecuados a la hora de producir el texto meta. Nuestro artículo describe cómo se ha aplicado la lingüística de corpus a la traducción de textos especializados en el aula de TISP como recurso lexicográfico y documental adicional. Para ello, se detalla el proceso de compilación de un corpus monolingüe virtual especializado realizado por alumnos de posgrado y el uso de un programa de concordancias para analizar el corpus creado como fuente de información conceptual, terminológica y fraseológica

Vertical Mixing Effects on Phytoplankton Dynamics and Organic Carbon Export in the Western Mediterranean Sea

Published: January 2018

A 3‐D high‐resolution coupled hydrodynamic‐biogeochemical model of the western Mediterranean was used to study phytoplankton dynamics and organic carbon export in three regions with contrasting vertical regimes, ranging from deep convection to a shallow mixed layer. One month after the initial increase in surface chlorophyll (caused by the erosion of the deep chlorophyll maximum), the autumnal bloom was triggered in all three regions by the upward flux of nutrients resulting from mixed layer deepening. In contrast, at the end of winter, the end of turbulent mixing favored the onset of the spring bloom in the deep convection region. Low grazing pressure allowed rapid phytoplankton growth during the bloom. Primary production in the shallow mixed layer region, the Algerian subbasin, was characterized by a long period (4 months) of sustained phytoplankton development, unlike the deep convection region where primary production was inhibited during 2 months in winter. Despite seasonal variations, annual primary production in all three regions is similar. In the deep convection region, total organic carbon export below the photic layer (150 m) and transfer to deep waters (800 m) was 5 and 8 times, respectively, higher than in the Algerian subbasin. Although some of the exported material will be injected back into the surface layer during the next convection event, lateral transport, and strong interannual variability of MLD in this region suggest that a significant amount of exported material is effectively sequestrated.
Evaluating Southern Ocean Carbon Eddy‐Pump From Biogeochemical‐Argo Floats

The vertical transport of surface water and carbon into ocean's interior, known as subduction, is one of the main mechanisms through which the ocean influences Earth's climate. New instrumental approaches have shown the occurrence of localized and intermittent subduction episodes associated with small‐scale ocean circulation features. These studies also revealed the importance of such events for the export of organic matter, the so‐called eddy‐pump. However, the transient and localized nature of episodic subduction hindered its large‐scale evaluation to date. In this work, we present an approach to detect subduction events at the scale of the Southern Ocean using measurements collected by biogeochemical autonomous floats (BGCArgo). We show how subduction events can be automatically identified as anomalies of spiciness and Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU) below the mixed layer. Using this methodology over more than 4,000 profiles, we detected 40 subduction events unevenly distributed across the Sothern Ocean. Events were more likely found in hot spots of eddy kinetic energy (EKE), downstream major bathymetric features. Moreover, the bio‐optical measurements provided by BGCArgo allowed measuring the amount of Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) being subducted and assessing the contribution of these events to the total downward carbon flux at 100 m (EP100). We estimated that the eddy‐pump represents less than 19% to the EP100 in the Southern Ocean, although we observed particularly strong events able to locally duplicate the EP100. This approach provides a novel perspective on where episodic subduction occurs that will be naturally improved as BGCArgo observations continue to increase.
Influence of Sea Ice Crack Formation on the Spatial Distribution of Nutrients and Microalgae in Flooded Antarctic Multiyear Ice

Cracks are common and natural features of sea ice formed in the polar oceans. In this study, a sea ice crack in flooded, multiyear, land‐fast Antarctic sea ice was examined to assess its influence on biological productivity and the transport of nutrients and microalgae into the upper layers of neighboring sea ice. The water inside the crack and the surrounding host ice were characterized by a strong discoloration (brown color), an indicator of a massive algal bloom. Salinity and oxygen isotopic ratio measurements indicated that 64–84% of the crack water consisted of snow meltwater supplied during the melt season. Measurements of nutrient and chlorophyll a concentrations within the slush layer pool (the flooded layer at the snow‐ice interface) revealed the intrusion of water from the crack, likely forced by mixing with underlying seawater during the tidal cycle. Our results suggest that sea ice crack formation provides conditions favorable for algal blooms by directly exposing the crack water to sunlight and supplying nutrients from the under‐ice water. Subsequently, constituents of the crack water modified by biological activity were transported into the upper layer of the flooded sea ice. They were then preserved in the multiyear ice column formed by upward growth of sea ice caused by snow ice formation in areas of significant snow accumulation.
