Emergence of Enhanced Quality Expectations in Pharmaceuticals
Authors: Obaid Roohi Bano , Ali Obaid
Published: September 2018

Commercial viability of any drug product may often bring pain for patients who otherwise wait for their drug to improve their quality of life and breath. Dryness of drug products like thyroxin, warfarin, phenobarbitone, salbutamol inhalers, morphine etc. from the market leave patient on the mercy of nature. The heart wrenching healthcare professional burst out when lifesaving drugs are not available due to any reason. Voice of civil society rises in community where care of others is felt as a moral responsibility beside capitalism and/or socialism. It is also observed and quite possible that quality defects may create similar situations of drug shortage. Manufacturing facility or its control may go out unwittingly due to knowledge limitation. A quality defect that impacts delivery and performance of drug and/or carries harmful potential has always been a matter of top priority. In both cases, ability to detect, report and assess defines presence and thickness of protection wall for the public. Power to predict uncertainty and taking measures well in time is a challenge for industry and regulators to maintain uninterrupted supply of quality drugs.
Methodologies of Verbal autopsy and Social autopsy tools, adopted by VASA studies in exploring under-five mortality determinants
Authors: Siddiqui Muhammad Bilal , Wan Ng Chiu , Wah Yun Low
Published: September 2018

Background: Verbal Autopsy/Social Autopsy (VASA) tools should be based on a well-holistic conceptual framework, allowing them to record and organize a wide range of determinants and contributors of child mortality in developing countries. This paper aims to review how successfully VASA studies have been able to record and organize biological and social determinants of child mortality, in pursuit of World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines for verbal autopsy (VA) and Kalter’s recommendations for social autopsy (SA).

Methodology: A systematic search of literature from January 1995 to January 2018 was conducted on primary studies which attempted VA and SA on deceased cases of under-5 child mortalities using VA and SA questionnaires. A thorough search revealed 16 directly relevant papers.

Results: Sixteen relevant studies from 14 countries revealed the two most common conceptual frameworks which were utilized for VASA studies. VA component of three studies followed W.H.O.’s guidelines, while the SA component of the other three studies followed Kalter’s recommendations. The most robust VA tools identified were INDEPTH Network VA tool, INCLEN VA tool, and WHO VA tool; while CHERG SA tool and BASICS SA tool were found as the most robust SA tools.

Conclusion: Due to the fact that only separate recommendations for VA, and conceptual frameworks for SA exists and no evidence on integrated conceptual framework exists, we suggest that there is a great need for developing a conceptual framework, based on which an integrated VASA tool can be developed and utilized in VASA based child mortality investigations in developing countries.

As organizações internacionais como difusoras de políticas públicas
Authors: Faria Carlos Aurélio Pimenta de
Published: September 2018

Em décadas recentes, as organizações internacionais (OIs) não apenas tiveram o seu número e diversidade multiplicados, mas também expandiram sobremaneira as suas funções, os seus interesses e o seu campo de ação. Ademais, elas passaram a tratar não somente do chamado sistema internacional e de sua governança, mas também a agir no sentido de influenciar, de distintas maneiras e com vários propósitos, a atuação doméstica dos seus Estados membros, ou seja, as suas políticas públicas. Este artigo busca, a partir de uma síntese da não muito vasta literatura acadêmica que trata das organizações internacionais como difusoras de políticas públicas, analisar os objetivos e as formas de ação das OIs nestes processos, bem como os múltiplos instrumentos utilizados por elas para pautar a atuação doméstica dos Estados.
Etanol brasileiro: há barreiras técnicas sobre as exportações?
Authors: Lucena Andréa Freire de , Santos Lucas Bom Jardim Pimentel , Queiroz Sabrina Faria de
Published: September 2018

O recente movimento mundial em direção à busca de uma matriz energética com maior presença de energias renováveis para a mitigação dos problemas ambientais e para conservação do meio natural criou grandes expectativas para o mercado brasileiro de etanol. Apesar da crescente demanda pelo biocombustível no mercado internacional, o Brasil vem encontrando dificuldades para exportação do etanol, sendo uma das causas alegadas pelo mercado nacional a existência de barreiras técnicas, as quais são regulamentadas no âmbito internacional pelo Acordo Sobre Barreiras técnicas ao Comércio da Organização Mundial do Comércio. Este trabalho verifica se há indícios relevantes da imposição de barreiras técnicas ao etanol brasileiro no mercado internacional, por meio do Índice de Cobertura (IC) e do Índice de Frequência (IF). Apesar de os resultados apontarem a presença de barreiras técnicas para o etanol brasileiro, não se obteve indícios suficientes para afirmar que essas barreiras estão limitando ou prejudicando as exportações brasileiras do biocombustível.
Democracia global e instituições internacionais: à guisa de introdução
Authors: Hernandez Matheus De Carvalho , Lopes Dawisson Belém
Published: September 2018

A motivação do Dossiê Democracia Global e Instituições Internacionais, a estampar o presente número da Revista Monções, nasceu do seguinte diagnóstico: o debate a respeito da democratização da política internacionalé, definitivamente, algo que se impõe atualmente, não sendo facultada às discussões sobre Relações Internacionais no Brasil a opção de passar-lhe ao largo. De um lado, a despeito de todas as crises e turbulências contemporâneas, a democracia como regime de governo permanece disseminada pelo mundo. De outro lado, nunca antes foi tão aguda a consciência de suas limitações empíricas. Diante disso, o Dossiê representa um chamado à avaliação crítica e reflexiva do fenômeno da democratização da política internacional a partir de diversos ângulos analíticos. Seu objetivo central é compreender as formulações, as reformulações e os limites das vias promovidas pelos Estados, pelas instituições internacionais e outros atores não estatais para o exercício de uma gestão da governança global mais plural e aberta – e, num sentido bastante peculiar, mais “democrática” – em meio às complexidades, desigualdades e instabilidades impostas pelas condições de “anarquia estrutural”.

In this paper, focus is given to determine handover latency, vital property of mobility. This paper presents simulation to investigate handover effects-handover latency in homogeneous and heterogeneous environment using network simulator NCTUns 6.0 and simulator version 2 (NS-2) respectively for different generations of wireless communication. Also simulation is performed to find out the handover latency with respect to mobile nodeâ€™s speed and then the results are compared with each other for performance analysis. The obtained results show that advanced generations of wireless communication provides low handover latency as well as higher mobility support which leads to better network performance and seamless connectivity.
Etchings of Ancient Ornamental Architecture(1800) eDesigns for Cottages(1805)
Authors: Casola Tiziano
Published: September 2018

Charles Heathcote Tatham and Joseph Gandy played important roles in early Nineteenth century British artistic world: Tatham for his contribution to the development of applied arts, Gandy for being John Soane’s projects graphic executor, as well as a truly eclectic artist, hard to classify in traditional canons. Apparently disconnected and distant from each other, the two architects shared the experience of the trip to Rome, which took place simultaneously in the years 1794-1796, but if they boarded the same ship, they also moved in two diametrically opposite directions once arrived in Rome. The letters sent home by the two young artists confirm this, telling two completely dissimilar experiences of the same Rome and the Ancient. After returning home, between 1800 and 1806, both architects published some illustrated publications strongly linked to the recent trip. In both cases they are architectural model albums: two series of ’didactic’ engravings by Tatham, and two pattern books for rural buildings by Gandy. They are two extremely different editorial cases, but both based on the ’re-use’ of the Italian experiences of the authors and their personal interpretation of their time’s cult of antiquity.

Published: September 2018

The proximity between Giuseppe De Nittis and some French Impressionism’s interpreters has always been one of the most debated and controversial aspects of the Apulian painter’s experience. Specifically, the connection between him and Claude Monet, even if certified, is still not enough discussed and investigated. A letter sent by the French master to his Italian colleague, kept in Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, offers new points of view and reflection on affinities, more or less tangible, of their languages and their methods of nature study and translation.

Authors: Damay Vito , Undarsa Alberta Claudia
Published: September 2018

Background: Adiposity assessment plays an important role in coronary artery disease (CAD) prevention. One of the adiposity parameter in major CAD management guide­line is waist to height ratio (WHtR). Adiposity promotes the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis by involving adipokines released by adipose tissue. Leptin is obesity identic adipokine which is used as prognostic predictor of cardiovascular event. This study aims to analyze correlation between WHtR and leptin serum level.

Method: A cross sectional study was performed to 37 stable CAD patients undergone elective coronary angiography in Heart Catheterization Laboratory Dr Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, West java in July 2014

Results: Mean age of the subjects was 56.7± 9.12 years old with mean age of men (n=32) and women (n=5) were 55.9±9.47 years old and 62±3.54 years old consecu­tively. There were 30 (81%) subjects classified as obese (WHtR≥0.5) with mean WHtR 0.54±0,06. Median value of leptin serum was 8599.90 pg/ml (780-36929.3 pg/ml). Based on rank-spearman correlation test, a positive moderate correlation was significantly found between WHtR and Leptin serum level (Spearman’s rho = 0.5, p= 0.001).

Conclusion: Positive correlation was found between WHtR and leptin serum level. Hence, WHtR might be useful as indicator of leptin serum level which has been used as a prognostic biomarker in CAD patients

Analysis and Design of MSMEs Support System Based on Information Technology (Analisis dan Perancangan Sistem Pendukung UMKM Berbasis Teknologi Informasi)
Authors: Rerung Rintho Rante
Published: September 2018

The role of MSMEs in Indonesia’s economy is undeniable because it is able to survive and be an economic turbine. History has proved that the type of business that can survive the economic crisis in Indonesia is MSMEs. However, MSMEs in Indonesia is considered to have low competitiveness in internal factors such as production and processing, marketing, human resources, design, and technology. High competitiveness is needed to compete in global markets such as the ASEAN Economic Community competitiveness in internal factors such as production and processing, marketing, human resources, design, and technology. High competitiveness is needed to compete in global markets such as the ASEAN Economic Community. This condition is challenging yet give opportunities to MSMEs. Therefore, implementing information technology is a solution to increase competitiveness. Although the device of information technology is getting cheaper and more affordable, most MSMEs still consider it expensive due to financial limitations and lack of expertise in using the computer. In consequence, support from various parties, not only the government but also groups such as academics, practitioners, and college students, is significantly needed. Thus, it is necessary to create the MSME Support System as a medium of information for the MSMEs' agents with potential supporters who are academics, practitioners, and college students.Peran UMKM dalam perekonomian Indonesia memang tidak diragukan lagi karena terbukti mampu bertahan dan menjadi roda penggerak ekonomi. Sejarah telah membuktikan, ketika Indonesia mengalami krisis ekonomi, bentuk usaha yang bisa bertahan adalah UMKM. Akan tetapi, UMKM di Indonesia dinilai masih belum memiliki daya saing yang tinggi, dalam dari faktor internal seperti produksi dan pengolahan, pemasaran, sumber daya manusia, desain dan teknologi. Daya saing yang tinggi sangat diperlukan dalam bersaing dengan pasar global seperti Masyarakat Ekonomi Asean. Kondisi ini memang memberikan tantangan, namun juga dapat memperoleh peluang bagi UMKM. Mengadopsi penggunaan teknologi informasi merupakan salah satu solusi untuk meningkatkan daya saing. Meskipun perangkat teknologi informasi semakin murah dan terjangkau, namun untuk sebagian besar UMKM masih merupakan barang mahal karena keterbatasan finansial dan kurangnya keahlian dalam menggunakan komputer sendiri. Dengan kondisi ini tentu sangat diperlukan dukungan dari berbagai pihak, tidak hanya pemerintah, namun semua kalangan seperti kalangan akademisi, kalangan praktisi dan kalangan mahasiswa. Oleh sebab itu membangun Sistem Pendukung UMKM sebagai media informasi bagi para pelaku UMKM dengan para calon supporter yang terdiri dari kalangan akademisi, kalangan praktisi dan kalangan mahasiswa sangat diperlukan.
Diagnose Himmel
Authors: Jaeggi Eva
Published: September 2018

Die je unterschiedlichen Vorstellungen der verschiedenen Religionen und Ethnien über das Jenseits («Himmel») können unter psychoanalytischem Gesichtspunkt als unterschiedliche Konfliktlösungen entlang der von der Psychoanalyse herausgearbeiteten Entwicklungskonflikte des Menschen gesehen werden. Diese fantasierten Lösungen sind allerdings nicht wie im irdischen Leben als ein durch das Über-Ich erzwungener Kompromiss zu sehen. Sie sind vielmehr als Wunscherfüllung im Sinne der Unerbittlichkeit des Triebstrebens konzipiert und werden nicht mehr in Frage gestellt. Die sublimierten Aussagen über das Jenseits durch Paulus allerdings sind nicht im Sinne von Entwicklungskonflikten zu interpretieren. Man kann sie eher vergleichen mit den von der relationalen Psychoanalyse und der Humanistischen Psychologie erkannten Wichtigkeit des «Gesehenwerdens» durch den «Anderen».

Published: September 2018

Der Autor zeigt, wie die Bemühungen nach hoher Reliabilität in diagnostischen Interviews Gefahr laufen, ihre Qualität des freien Erzählenlassens zugunsten einer standardisierten Exploration der Patient/innen zu opfern und dadurch dem Zeitgeist des Zählens zu folgen. Als Beispiel dient ihm die Erfahrung als Schulungsverantwortlicher der Ratergemeinschaft in einer Forschungsstudie. Im Fokus steht dabei das Verfahren der Operationalisierten Psychodynamischen Diagnostik (OPD-2), in welchem eine hohe Einschätzungsübereinstimmung zwischen den unterschiedlichen Diagnostiker/innen zu erreichen versucht wurde.

Die Aussage, dass «Schizophrenie» nicht existiert, bedeutet nicht, dass es nicht Menschen mit sehr ungewöhnlichen oder schwer verständlichen Erfahrungen gibt, die unter extremer Verzweiflung und Verwirrung leiden. Doch hier soll es um zwei andere Fragen gehen: (a) Erfüllt «Schizophrenie» allgemein anerkannte wissenschaftliche Voraussetzungen für den Nachweis der Existenz eines Konzepts (Reliabilität)?, und (b): Ist «Schizophrenie» zweckdienlich, das heisst, trägt das Konstrukt irgendetwas zum Verständnis oder zur Vorhersage bei (Validität)?

DINAMIKA TATA NIAGA KOPRA DI MINAHASA (1946-1958)
Authors: Anwar Hasanuddin
Published: September 2018

Telah menjadi ingatan kolektif masyarakat Minahasa bahwa tanaman kelapa (Cocos nucifera L.) merupakan komoditas strategis yang memiliki peran sosial, budaya, dan ekonomi. Dalam konteks ini, pengolahan kelapa menjadikan kopra merupakan produk penting dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan petani dan pembangunan di daerah Minahasa. Setelah Indonesia merdeka, terjadi perebutan monopoli tata niaga kopra baik melalui Pemerintah Pusat (Jakarta), Pemerintah Daerah (Minahasa), maupun militer (Teritorium VII Wirabuana). Hal ini menyebabkan tata niaga kopra semakin tidak terkendali. Ekspor kopra yang diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi ekonomi berubah menjadi masalah politik setelah munculnya peristiwa Permesta. Mengacu pada masalah tersebut, artikel ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan kondisi historis tata niaga kopra di Minahasa tahun 1946-1958. Secara metodologis, artikel ini merupakan studi yang bertumpu pada penelitian pustaka dan arsip. Akhirnya artikel ini menghasilkan kesimpulan bahwa kebijakan Pemerintah Pusat dalam mengatur tata niaga kopra menimbulkan kekecewaan dan diskriminasi bagi masyarakat Minahasa. Timbulnya kekecewaan masyarakat Minahasa menyebabkan tata niaga kopra sebagai kekuatan ekonomi berubah menjadi gerakan politik anti Pemerintah Pusat.   It has become a collective memory of the Minahasa community that coconut plants (Cocos nucifera L.) are strategic commodities that have a social, cultural, and economic role in their lives. In this context, coconut processing makes copra an important product in improving the welfare of farmers and regional development. After Indonesian independence, the copra trading system being monopolized by Copra Foundation, which controlled by central government (Jakarta), local government (Minahasa), and military (Teritorium VII Wirabuana. This causes the copra trade system to become increasingly out of control and dissatisfaction of the Minahasa community. Copra as an economic power turns into an anti-Central Government political movement. There was a takeover of a number of CopraFoundation assets in Manado, and established the Minahasa Coconut Foundation. Then came the demands of regional autonomy by forming the Province of North Sulawesi. The Port of Bitung as an in-out gateway for goods, was only used for barter trade and smuggling of copra abroad, especially Singapore which involved a number of Minahasa civilian officials and military officers. Copra exports are expected to contribute economically has turned into a political problem.
FALSAFAH PENCA CIKALONG DALAM “GERAK SESER”
Authors: Heryana Agus
Published: September 2018

Gerakan seser dalam Maenpo Cikalong bukanlah sebuah rangkaian gerakan dasar yang digunakan sebagai panduan dalam teknik silat, melainkan upaya dari pesilat untuk mendekati lawan tanpa mengangkat kaki. Gerak seser sering diabaikan dan dianggap tak bermakna. Padahal di dalamnya terkandung fungsi praktis dan falsafah yang melatarbelakangi munculnya gerak tersebut. Karena itulah tujuan penelitiannya adalah mengetahui bentuk gerak seser dan falsafahnya.  Metode yang digunakan untuk mendata dan menganalisanya adalah metode kualitatif-deskriptif analisis yakni pendeskripsian obyek sedetail mungkin kemudian dianalisis. Hasilnya adalah ditemukannya konsep falsafah pohon, yang bermakna ajeg tangtungan (kokoh pendirian). Simpulannya falsafah pohon merupakan pelengkap  falsafah sebelumnya, yaitu: (1) Lamun deleka sok cilaka (orang jahat akan celaka),(2) Laer aisan (adil); (3) Wijaksana (bijaksana); (4) Tungkul ka jukut tanggah ka sadapan (tidak membeda-bedakan perlakuaan kepada siapa pun); (5) Sauyunan (rukun); (6) Gelut jeung diri sorangan (melawan diri sendiri); (7) Hirup tawakal (tawakal); (8) Depe-depe handap asor (rendah hati). Gerak Seser in the Maenpo Cikalong is not a basic movement series used as a guide in silat techniques, but a quest to approach the opponent without lifting a foot. This simple movement is often ignored and considered meaningless. Whereas in the Gerak Seser contained practical functions and philosophy behind the emergence of the movement. That is why the purpose of this research is to find out the form of movement and philosophy. The method used to achieve that goal is a qualitative-descriptive method of analysis that is the description of the object and then analyzed. The result is the discovery of the philosophy concept called tree philosophy. The conclusions obtained are the philosophy of the tree into the soul of the Penca Cikalong rules and reduce the derivative of philosophy such as: (1) Lamun deleka sok cilaka (bad people will be harmed), (2) Laer aisan (fair); (3) Wijaksana (wise); (4) Tungkul ka jukut tanggah ka sadapan (not discriminating anyone); (5) Sauyunan (rukun); (6) Gelut jeung diri sorangan (self-fighting); (7) Hirup tawakal (tawakal); (8) honest; (9) Depe-depe handap asor (humble).

Published: September 2018

Turkey has been one of the popular destinations in world in terms of tourism. Its geographical position, climate and natural resources made it a plausible destination for tourism for several decades. Turkish health care sector attracts international patients both to private and public health facilities. Between 2008 and 2014, roughly 75 % of the patients preferred private hospitals in Turkey. After 2014, there is a decline in total number of international patients in the following years and the percentages of the private institutions starts to decline as well. As of today, Turkey has 46 JCI (Joint Commission International) accredited hospitals and healthcare facilities, making it one of the leading countries in medical tourism. US citizens, by receiving treatment in Turkey can save up to 65 % of their medical costs. Turkish Government has declared in its 10thDevelopment Plan that Turkey targets to have USD 20 billion income from health tourism by 2023, of which USD 5,6 billion will generated by only medical tourism.One of the private healthcare groups in Turkey, Acibadem Health Group, has implemented an international patient oriented application which helps them to get the best care in Turkey, which is called “Acibadem Health Point”, which helps international patients in every possible step of international healthcare tourism. Acibadem Health Group has regional representative offices in more than 30 countries to provide patients with information about local hospitals, doctors etc., and organizes their visit to their healthcare facilities. They host almost 30thousand patients, annually from 5 continents and 47 different countries in 90 different branches and their International Patient Center staffed by a team of 150, providing comprehensive 360 degrees of healthcare services, from scheduling patients treatment at Acibadembefore arrivalto assisting their travel back home. Sustainable quality approach is indispensable concept in health tourism. We also must rapidly increase the number of best practices in our country such as “health point”. As the level of international healthcare standard increases, the level of satisfaction of foreign patients and user loyalty will also increase. We should never forget that as a health manager.

Promoting the products and services to the people located in different areas of the World and interacting with the target markets have always been a hard process for the enterprises that operate in the field of health tourism. With the developments in information and communication Technologies, internet and mobile Technologies has smoothed the ways of accessing information, shopping, socializing, having fun, and seeking for information without any time or place constraints with very low costs. The enterprises which want to benefit from the digitalized World have started to move their marketing activities to digital platforms. In this context, the aim of this study was identified as to evaluate the digital marketing activities of thermal facilities and JCI accredited hospitals, and to make a comparison between them. This study was designed as a descriptive study. Content analyzing method was used to evaluate the digital marketing activities of thermal facilities and JCI accredited hospitals. Totally, 73 thermal facilities’ and 30 JCI accredited hospitals’ digital marketing activities were evaluated. The collected data was coded by the researcher. Frequency and percentage distributions were calculated. It has been found that 38,4%of the thermal facilities do not have a web page in English or in another language. Also, it has been seen that, opposite to accredited hospitals, there was no enough information about the staff. It can be concluded for the enterprises that operate in the field of health tourism to use web sites and social media channels more efficient. Efficient use of these channels can allow the health tourism enterprises to interact with their target market through producing content according to the needs or wants of them. In addition, sharing information and creating content can be considered as a strategy to pull the target market.

Catching sea cucumber fever in coastal communities: Conceptualizing the impacts of shocks versus trends on social-ecological systems
Authors: Kaplan-Hallam Maery , Bennett Nathan , Satterfield Terre
Published: September 2018

Research on vulnerability and adaptation in social-ecological systems (SES) has largely centered on climate change and associated biophysical stressors. Key implications of this are twofold. First, there has been limited engagement with the impacts of social drivers of change on communities and linked SES. Second, the focus on climate effects often assumes slower drivers of change and fails to differentiate the implications of change occurring at different timescales. This has resulted in a body of SES scholarship that is under-theorized in terms of how communities experience and respond to fast versus slow change. Yet, social and economic processes at global scales increasingly emerge as ‘shocks’ for local systems, driving rapid and often surprising forms of change distinct from and yet interacting with the impacts of slow, ongoing ‘trends’. This research seeks to understand the nature and impacts of social shocks as opposed to or in concert with trends through the lens of a qualitative case study of a coastal community in Mexico, where demand from international seafood markets has spurred rapid development of a sea cucumber fishery. Specifically, we examined what different social-ecological changes are being experienced by the community, how the impacts of the sea cucumber fishery are distinct from and interacting with slower ongoing trends and how these processes are affecting system vulnerability, adaptations and adaptive capacity. We begin by proposing a novel framework for conceptualizing impacts on social systems, as comprised of structures, functions, and feedbacks. Our results illustrate how the rapid-onset of this fishery has driven dramatic changes in the community. New challenges such as the ‘gold-rush-style’ arrival of new actors, money, and livelihoods, the rapid over-exploitation of fish stocks, and increases in poaching and armed violence have emerged, exacerbating pressures from ongoing trends in immigration, overfishing and tourism development. We argue that there is a need to better understand and differentiate the social and ecological implications of shocks, which present novel challenges for the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of communities and the sustainability of marine ecosystems.

Background: Family dementia caregivers often suffer from an immense toll of grief while caring for their loved ones. We sought to identify the clinical relationship between grief, depression and mindfulness and identify neural predictors of symptomatology and improvement. Methods: 23 family dementia caregivers were assessed at baseline for grief, mindfulness and depression, of which 17 underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). During fMRI, caregivers were shown faces of either their dementia-stricken relative or that of a stranger, paired with grief-related or neutral words. In 9 subjects, post fMRI scans were also obtained after four weeks of either guided imagery or relaxation. Robust regression was used to predict changes in symptoms with longitudinal brain activation changes as the dependent variable. Results: Grief and depression symptoms were correlated (r = 0.50, p = .01), and both were negatively correlated with mindfulness (r = -.70, p = .0002; r = -.52, p = .01). Relative to viewing strangers, caregivers shown pictures of their loved ones (picture factor) exhibited increased activation in the dorsal anterior cingulate gyrus and precuneus. Improvement in grief but not mindfulness or depression was predicted by increased relative brain activation in the precuneus and anterior cingulate (different subregions from baseline). Viewing grief-related vs. neutral words elicited activity in the medial prefrontal cortex and precuneus. Conclusions: Caregiver grief, depression and mindfulness are interrelated but have at least partially nonoverlapping neural mechanisms. Picture and word stimuli related to grief evoked brain activity in regions previously identified with bereavement grief. These activation foci might be useful as biomarkers of treatment response.

Background: Despite advances in behavioural science, there is no widely shared understanding of the ‘mechanisms of action’ (MoAs) through which individual behaviour change techniques (BCTs) have their effects. Cumulative progress in the development, evaluation and synthesis of behavioural interventions could be improved by identifying the MoAs through which BCTs are believed to bring about change. Purpose: This study aimed to identify the links between BCTs and MoAs described by authors of a corpus of published literature.Methods: Links between BCTs and MoAs were extracted by two coders from 277 behaviour change intervention articles. Binomial tests were conducted to provide an indication of the relative frequency of each link. Results: Of 77 BCTs coded, 70 were linked to at least one MoA. Of 26 MoAs, all but one were linked to at least one BCT. We identified 2636 BCT-MoA links in total (mean number of links per article = 9.56, SD = 13.80). The most frequently linked MoAs were ‘Beliefs about Capabilities’ and ‘Intention’. Binomial test results identified up to five MoAs linked to each of the BCTs (M = 1.71, range: 1-5), and up to eight BCTs for each of the MoAs (M = 3.63, range: 1-8). Conclusions: The BCT-MoA links described by intervention authors and identified in this extensive review present intervention developers and reviewers with a first level of systematically collated evidence. These findings provide a resource for the development of theory-based interventions, and for theoretical understanding of intervention evaluations. The extent to which these links are empirically supported requires systematic investigation.
The Methodological Divide of Sociology - Evidence From Two Decades of Journal Publications
Authors: Schwemmer Carsten , Wieczorek Oliver
Published: September 2018

Past research indicates that Sociology is a low-consensus discipline, where different schools of thought have distinct expectations about suitable scientific practices. This division of Sociology into different subfields is to a large extent related to methodology and choices between qualitative or quantitative research methods. Relying on theoretical constructs of the academic prestige economy, boundary demarcation, and taste for research, we examine the methodological divide in generalist Sociology journals. Using automated text analysis for 8,737 abstracts of papers published between 1995 and 2017, we discover evidence of this divide, but also of an entanglement between methodological choices and different research topics. Moreover, our results suggest a marginally increasing time trend for the publication of quantitative research in generalist journals. We discuss how this consolidation of methodological practices could enforce the entrenchment of different schools of thought, which ultimately reduces the potential for innovative and effective sociological research.
Quantifying the Information Gained from Extra-network Stimuli: An Experiment on the Emergence of Social Conventions
Authors: Atwell Jonathan
Published: September 2018

Which stimuli found in social settings are incorporated into individuals’ socially-oriented cognitive processes? Research on social self-organization focuses on explicit and direct communication via network ties, yet it is plausible that extra-network stimuli carry valuable information. Here, I assess the informational value of such stimuli for the self-organization of conventions, a common large-group coordination problem. Participant exposure to a small number of additional stimuli can tip groups to coordinated outcomes through a rapid decrease in the diversity of the potential solutions. The information gained through these exposures is greater on average than that of a variety of alternatives, including additional weak ties. These results suggest actors ought to be attentive to extra-network stimuli and that research assessing the role of social network topology in determining the outcome of social influence and information- driven dynamic processes might often have misspecified causal mechanisms.
