Development and Validity Analysis of Korean Focusing Manner Scale-Revised (KFMS-R)
Authors: Joo Eunsun , Kim ByungSun , Shin SeolAe , Kim JooYoung
Published: March 2016

A Research on the Development and Validation of Korean Focusing Manner Scale-Revised (KFMS-R) Version The Korean Focusing Manner Scale (KFMS) has shown to have difficulties when applying to certain segments of the population, especially the elderly and youth groups. To develop the KFMS-R, a survey were undertaken targeting 474 male and female highschool students in the Seoul area, using stress response measures and self-control measures. The KFMS-R is comprised of 5 factors: 1) Aware, 2) reflect, 3) express, 4) accept, 5) keep one's composure. The KFMS-R’s factor composition was checked using correlation analysis between the stress response measures and self-control measures, and showed satisfactory internal trustworthiness. Thus, it is expected that the KFMS-R can be implemented easily and practically for clinical on-site session for youth and elderly groups. In addition, by enabling findings of flows between the sub-factors in implementing Focusing experiential psychological counseling, a more expeditious and effective treatment can be possible.

Authors: Barbosa Ramos Edith Maria , Diniz Isadora Moraes , Madureira Amanda Silva
Published: March 2016

O Conselho Nacional de Justiça pretende ocupar o papel de protagonista do necessário debate que precisa ser travado em torno da judicialização da saúde. Para tanto, desde 2010, vem conduzindo uma política pública judiciária para o aprimoramento da prestação jurisdicional nas demandas de saúde através da criação do Fórum do Judiciário para a Saúde, desta feita, tem-se como objetivo principal do artigo avaliar a eficácia dessa política judiciária conduzida pelo CNJ no campo da judicialização da saúde.
A aplicabilidade do Princípio da Proibição do Retrocesso Social como meio de garantia constitucional ao direito à saúde
Authors: Braz Kalini Vasconcelos
Published: March 2016

O presente artigo se propôs a analisar possíveis retrocessos sociais advindos da Emenda Constitucional nº 86, de 2015, e da Lei nº 13.097, de 2015. Trata-se de pesquisa quantiqualitativa, de caráter descritivo analítico, realizada por meio de pesquisa documental. De forma complementar, foi realizada revisão bibliográfica sobre o princípio da proibição do retrocesso social. Concluiu pela existência de retrocesso social em ambos os textos legais, uma vez que as mudanças legislativas propostas conduzem à fragilização do direito à saúde e do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), notadamente no aspecto do financiamento que pode afetar a sua própria sustentabilidade. Quanto à Lei nº 13.097, de 2015 verificou-se retrocesso no art. 142, que ao permitir a participação direta ou indireta do capital estrangeiro em todas as atividades de assistência à saúde, até mesmo em instituições filantrópicas, pode propiciar a expansão do setor privado e consequente mercantilização do direito à saúde acentuando as desigualdades de acesso ao sistema de saúde. Já a Emenda Constitucional nº 86, de 2015, que inclui uma nova base de cálculo para a aplicação do governo federal na saúde, verifica-se o retrocesso social ao não observar o caráter progressivo de investimentos em saúde, quando comparado com os investimentos realizados no ano de 2014, promovendo a reduções dos níveis de efetividade e eficácia do direito à saúde. O princípio da proibição do retrocesso social pode ser utilizado como instrumento para garantia do direito à saúde, do núcleo essencial do SUS e da preservação das conquistas alcançadas pela sociedade.

Compact Cities Are Complex, Intense and Diverse but: Can We Design Such Emergent Urban Properties?
Authors: Lim Hye Kyung , Kain Jaan-Henrik
Published: March 2016

Compact cities are promoted by global and local policies in response to environmental, economic and social challenges. It is argued that increased density and diversity of urban functions and demographics are expected to deliver positive outcomes. ‘Emerged’ urban area which have developed incrementally seem to exhibit such dense and diverse characteristics, acquired through adaptation by multiple actors over time and space. Today, ‘design-based’ planning approaches aim to create the same characteristics here and now. An example of such is the City of Gothenburg, Sweden, which strives to involve multiple actors to ‘design’ urban density and mixed use, but with unsatisfactory outcomes. There is reason to investigate in what way current planning approaches need modification to better translate policy goals into reality. This paper studied which type of planning approach appears to best deliver the desired urban characteristics. Two cities are studied, Gothenburg and Tokyo. Today, these cities operate under different main planning paradigms. Tokyo applies a rule-based approach and Gothenburg a design-based approach. Five urban areas were studied in each city, representing outcomes of three strategic planning approaches that have been applied historically in both cities: 1) emergent compact urban form; 2) designed dispersed urban form; and 3) designed compact urban form. Planning outcomes in the form of density, building scales and diversity were analysed to understand if such properties of density and diversity are best achieved by a specific planning approach. The results show that different planning approaches deliver very different outcomes when it comes to these qualities. To better support ambitions for compact cities in Gothenburg, the prevailing mix of ‘planning by design’ and ‘planning by developmental control’ needs to be complemented by a third planning strategy of ‘planning by coding’ or ‘rule-based planning’. This is critical to capacitate urban planning to accommodate parameters, such as timing, density, building scale diversity, and decentralization of planning and design activities to multiple actors.

Gradient-Based Algorithm for Determining Tumor Volumes in Small Animals Using Planar Fluorescence Imaging Platform
Authors: Miller Jessica P. , Egbulefu Christopher , Prior Julie L. , Zhou Mingzhou , Achilefu Samuel
Published: March 2016

Planar fluorescence imaging is widely used in biological research because of its simplicity, use of nonionizing radiation, and high-throughput data acquisition. In cancer research, where small animal models are used to study the in vivo effects of cancer therapeutics, the output of interest is often the tumor volume. Unfortunately, inaccuracies in determining tumor volume from surface-weighted projection fluorescence images undermine the data, and alternative physical or conventional tomographic approaches are prone to error or are tedious for most laboratories. Here, we report a method that uses a priori knowledge of a tumor xenograft model, a tumor-targeting near infrared probe, and a custom-developed image analysis planar view tumor volume algorithm (PV-TVA) to estimate tumor volume from planar fluorescence images. Our algorithm processes images obtained using near infrared light for improving imaging depth in tissue in comparison with light in the visible spectrum. We benchmarked our results against the actual tumor volume obtained from a standard water volume displacement method. Compared with a caliper-based method that has an average deviation from an actual volume of 18% (204.34 ± 115.35 mm3), our PV-TVA average deviation from the actual volume was 9% (97.24 ± 70.45 mm3; P < .001). Using a normalization-based analysis, we found that bioluminescence imaging and PV-TVA average deviations from actual volume were 36% and 10%, respectively. The improved accuracy of tumor volume assessment from planar fluorescence images, rapid data analysis, and the ease of archiving images for subsequent retrieval and analysis potentially lend our PV-TVA method to diverse cancer imaging applications.
A Pilot Study of Quantitative MRI Parametric Response Mapping of Bone Marrow Fat for Treatment Assessment in Myelofibrosis
Authors: Luker Gary D. , Nguyen Huong (Marie) , Hoff Benjamin A. , Galbán Craig J. , Hernando Diego , Chenevert Thomas L. , Talpaz Moshe , Ross Brian D.
Published: March 2016

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a hematologic neoplasm arising as a primary disease or secondary to other blood malignancies. Both primary and secondary MF develop progressive fibrosis of bone marrow, displacing normal hematopoietic cells to other organs and disrupting normal production of mature blood cells. Activation of JAK2 signaling in hematopoietic stem cells commonly causes MF, and ruxolitinib, a drug targeting this pathway, is the preferred treatment for many patients. However, current measures of disease status in MF do not necessarily predict response to treatment with ruxolitinib or other drugs. Bone marrow biopsies are invasive and prone to sampling error, while measurements of spleen volume only indirectly reflect status of bone marrow. Toward the goal of developing an imaging biomarker for treatment response in MF, we present preliminary results from a prospective clinical study evaluating parametric response mapping (PRM) of quantitative Dixon MRI bone marrow fat fraction maps in four MF patients treated with ruxolitinib. PRM allows voxel-wise identification of temporal changes in quantitative imaging readouts, in this case bone marrow fat. We identified heterogeneous responses of bone marrow fat among patients and within different bone marrow sites in the same patient. Changes in bone marrow fat fraction also were discordant with reductions in spleen volume, the standard imaging metric for treatment response. This study provides initial support for PRM analysis of quantitative MRI of bone marrow fat to monitor therapy in MF, setting the stage for larger studies to further develop and validate this method as a complementary imaging biomarker.

Hegemony, Counter-hegemony, Anti-hegemony
Authors: Carroll William K.
Published: March 2016

This article takes a critical realist stance in exploring the changing conditions for and forms of hegemony and counter-hegemony in “postmodern”, “neoliberal”, “globalized” times. Current hegemonic practices and projects make common sense of a market-driven politics and a fragmented culture, infusing into them an organization of consent that operates both locally and globally. Yet this amounts only to a thin hegemony, a weak and ecologically unsustainable basis for social cohesion and material reproduction. If contemporary hegemony is deeply yet perilously grounded then counter-hegemony needs to address those grounds. This stricture points to the articulation of various subaltern and progressive-democratic currents into a counter-hegemonic bloc that organizes dissent across space and time. Counter-hegemony needs to walk on both legs, taking up statecentred issues as well as issues resident in national and transnational civil societies. Its durability across conjunctures requires not only a shared ethical vision but a political form appropriate to its tasks. A range of recent developments relevant to these issues is discussed. The article concludes with a critique of the anti-hegemonic politics of dispersed singularities, whose insights, particularly on the value of direct action and prefiguration, need to be integrated into a strategically coherent form.

Seeing the Other Side of the Coin: (Re)Constructing the Normative Flipside to Marx’s Sociology.
Authors: Butler Samuel A.
Published: March 2016

This paper argues that, Marx’s insistences notwithstanding, there is an ethical core to Marx’s critique of capitalism. I attempt to establish this claim through presenting salient points of Marx’s critique. From this basis, I move on to discuss Marx’s conception of human nature and the way in which it is typically frustrated under pre-communist societies. This frustration is the basis for a moral preference for communism. After pausing briefly to consider the possible criticism that this moral preference is mere ideology, I conclude with the normative heart of the matter. This is addressed by underscoring principal similarities between Marx’s work and Aristotle’s ethical project, insofar as each comprehends an intuitive description of the good life and an analysis of the prerequisites for obtaining it. A grasp of this similarity opens the door to understanding the normative flip side of Marx’s intellectual project.

Austerity, Competitiveness and Neoliberalism Redux: Ontario Responds to the Great Recession
Authors: Fanelli Carlo , Thomas Mark P
Published: March 2016

This article examines the deepening integration of market imperatives throughout the province of Ontario. We do this by, first, examining neoliberalism’s theoretical underpinnings, second, reviewing Ontario’s historical context, and third, scrutinizing the Open Ontario Plan, with a focus on proposed changes to employment standards legislation. We argue that contrary to claims of shared restraint and the pressing need for public austerity, Premier McGuinty’s Liberal’s have re-branded and re-packaged core neoliberal policies in such a manner that costs are socialized and profits privatized, thereby intensifying class polarization along with its racialized and gendered diversities. Cet article analyse l’intégration de plus en plus profonde des impératifs du marché dans la province de l’Ontario. Nous faisons cette analyse, premièrement, en analysant les bases théoriques du néolibéralisme, deuxièmement, en décrivant le contexte historique de l’Ontario, et troisièmement, en examinant le “Open Ontario Plan”, sous l’angle particulier des propositions de changement de la législation sur le droit du travail. Nous soutenons que sous le couvert de discours prônant le partage de l’austérité et l’impérieuse nécessité de restreindre les dépenses publiques, les Libéraux du Premier McGuinty ont ré-étiqueté et reformulé les politiques néolibérales de façon que les coûts soient socialisés et les profits privatisés, aggravant ainsi la polarisation des classes ainsi que les inégalités liées à la race et au genre.

Unmanning the Police Manhunt: Vertical Security as Pacification
Authors: Wall Tyler
Published: March 2016

This article provides a critique of military aerial drones being “repurposed” as domestic security technologies. Mapping this process in regards to domestic policing agencies in the United States, the case of police drones speaks directly to the importation of actual military and colonial architectures into the routine spaces of the “homeland”, disclosing insidious entwinements of war and police, metropole and colony, accumulation and securitization. The “boomeranging” of military UAVs is but one contemporary example how war power and police power have long been allied and it is the logic of security and the practice of pacification that animates both. The police drone is but one of the most nascent technologies that extends or reproduces the police’s own design on the pacification of territory. Therefore, we must be careful not to fetishize the domestic police drone by framing this development as emblematic of a radical break from traditional policing mandates – the case of police drones is interesting less because it speaks about the militarization of the police, which it certainly does, but more about the ways in which it accentuates the mutual mandates and joint rationalities of war abroad and policing at home. Finally, the paper considers how the animus of police drones is productive of a particular form of organized suspicion, namely, the manhunt. Here, the “unmanning” of police power extends the police capability to not only see or know its dominion, but to quite literally track, pursue, and ultimately capture human prey.
Examining the Institutional Ethnographer’s Toolkit.
Authors: Deveau J.L.
Published: March 2016

Institutional ethnography (IE) is a method of inquiry advocated by Canadian sociologist Dorothy E. Smith and a wide range of researchers working in sociology, social work, education, nursing, political organizing, social policy, women’s organizations, and so on. Institutional ethnographers do not cede authority to ideas established in the literature. Instead, they rely on people’s experience as the point of entry into inquiry exploring connections among local settings of people’s everyday lives, institutional processes, and translocal ruling relations. Smith’s concept of ‘ruling’ is derived from Marx. IE relies on a theorized way of exploring ruling practices—as people’s social activities organized through texts, language and expertise. This article defines some of the concepts of which newcomers to institutional ethnography need to develop a working knowledge, namely: epistemology (and epistemological shift), ontology (and ontological shift), social organization, social relations, ruling relations, the role of texts in ruling relations, ideology, problematic, discourse, experience as data, interviewing, and data collection.
Workers Versus Austerity: The Origins of Ontario’s 1995-1998 ‘Days of Action’
Authors: Kellogg Paul
Published: March 2016

The Great Recession has left in its wake an expected “age of austerity” where deficits accumulated to stave off economic collapse, are being addressed through steep cuts to government spending, with profound implications for social services and public sector employment. In an earlier era of austerity, eleven mass strikes and enormous demonstrations swept through the major cities of Ontario. This Days of Action movement – which has real relevance for the current period – began in the fall of 1995, continued through all of 1996 and 1997, and came to an end in 1998. This article, part of a larger research project, focuses on the movement’s origins. Two themes shape the overall project: the relation between social movements “outside” the workplace and union struggles themselves; and the relationship between the energetic inexperience of newly-active union members, and the pessimistic institutional experience embodied in a quite developed layer of full-time union officials. It is the former – the dialectic between social movements and trade unions in the Days of Action, that will be the focus of this article. La Grande récession a donné naissance, comme on pouvait s’y attendre, à une « ère de l’austérité » où les déficits accumulés pour contrer l’effondrement économique sont pris en charge via des coupes brutales dans les dépenses des États, avec des répercussions majeures pour les services sociaux et l’emploi dans le secteur public. Durant une période d’austérité précédente, onze grèves de masse et des manifestations monstres se sont succédées dans les principales villes de l’Ontario. Ce mouvement des Journées d’action – qui est tout à fait pertinent dans la période actuel – a débuté à l’automne 1995, s’est poursuivi durant les années 1996 et 1997, pour se terminer en 1998. Cet article, une composante d’un projet de recherche plus vaste, met l’accent sur les origines du mouvement. Deux thèmes traversent l’ensemble du projet: les rapports entre les mouvements sociaux situés hors des lieux de travail et les luttes syndicales, et les liens entre l’inexpérience énergique des syndiqués à l’implication récente et l’expérience institutionnelle et pessimiste incarnée dans une couche bien développée de responsables syndicaux à temps plein. C’est la première des deux relations, la dialectique entre les mouvements sociaux et les syndicats dans les Journées d’action, qui sera l’objet du présent article.

Jazz Bands, Camping Trips and Decommodification: G.A.Cohen On Community
Authors: Vrousalis Nicholas
Published: March 2016

This paper studies G. A. Cohen’s account of community, in the context of his forceful critique of (Rawlsian) liberalism. I begin by discussing the two general forms of Cohen’s conception of community, justificatory community and communal reciprocity, contrasting them with Marx’s. I argue, first, that Cohen offers a compelling critique of liberalism, which successfully brings to the fore a difficulty liberals have making sense of, indeed attaching value to, community. I then argue that Cohen’s novel account of community is in deep and problematic tension with his own theory of justice. Finally, I try to show, against liberals of most persuasions, that the second form of fraternity, which warrants the diminution or eradication of fear and greed from human relationships, is incompatible with commodification, i.e. with markets for human labor power. I thus try to vindicate Cohen’s view that ‘every market, even a socialist market, is a system of predation’. Dans cet article j’étudie la conception de la fraternité dans l’oeuvre de G.A. Cohen, dans le cadre de sa critique du libéralisme Rawlsien. Il y a deux formes générales de la fraternité chez Cohen: la “communauté justificative” et la “réciprocité communale”. Je soutiens que Cohen offre une critique convaincante du libéralisme, en montrant que des libéraux ont du mal à donner du sens à la notion de la fraternité. Puis j’essaie de montrer que la notion même de lafraternité chez Cohen est en tension profonde avec sa propre théorie de justice. Enfin, je soutiens que la seconde forme de fraternité chez Cohen, qui justifie l’élimination de la peur et de l’avidité des relations humaines, est incompatible avec la marchandisation, autrement dit, la réciprocité communale est incompatible avec un marché du travail. Je donc essaie de faire valoir le point de vue de Cohen, selon lequel “tous les marchés, même un marché socialiste, sont des systèmes de prédation”.
Risk Technologies and the Securitization of Post-9/11 Citizenship: The Case of National ID Cards in Canada.
Authors: Walby Kevin , Hier Sean P
Published: March 2016

The attacks of 11 September 2001 on Washington and New York continue to influence how governments manage im/migration, citizenship, and national security. One of the more contentious national security responses to the events of 9/11 in Canada has been the drive to introduce a biometric national identification card. In this paper, we argue that the drive for a Canadian national ID card is bound up in ideological processes which threaten to exacerbate, rather than to alleviate, state insecurities pertaining to risk, citizenship, and border (in) security. We maintain that ‘proof of status’ surveillance technologies, such as biometrically-encoded ID cards, lead to the ‘securitization’ of citizenship, and we conclude that ID cards threaten to destabilize the modern spatializations of sovereignty that they are purported to uphold under the guise of national security.

Reflections on Resistance to Neoliberalism: Looking Back on Solidarity in 1983 British Columbia
Authors: Richmond Ted , Shields John
Published: March 2016

This article critically examines the 1983 British Columbia (BC) Solidarity experience, a period that marked the first comprehensive neoliberal policy revolution in Canada. It also marked the launch of an extensive movement of extra-parliamentary resistance to neoliberal attempts to undo social and economic gains achieved during the period of Keynesian consensus. The character of this progressive movement of trade unions, social groups and civil society was however limited to “defensive defiance”. A number of questions are posed such as: What was the nature of the resistance to neoliberalism in BC in 1983, and to what extent did it succeed? Leftist analysts hotly debated these questions at the time, and a review in hindsight of their views is instructive. And to what degree have the neoliberal agenda and strategy and tactics changed in the ensuing years? Our review in this article suggests both a remarkable continuity and some fundamental changes. Analysis of these events therefore remains historically relevant to those concerned with pan-Canadian political trends. Cet article fait une analyse critique de l’expérience du mouvement de Solidarity en 1983 en Colombie Britannique, à une période qui a marqué la première révolution néolibérale complète au Canada. Ce moment a également signalé le début d’un mouvement important de résistance extra-parlementaire aux efforts néolibéraux de déconstruction des acquis sociaux et économiques qui ont été gagnés pendant la période du consensus keynésien. Le caractère de ce mouvement rassemblant des syndicats, certains groupes sociaux et des membres de la société civile était cependant limité à une ‘défiance défensive’. Plusieurs questions sont posées, parmi lesquelles: Quelle est la nature de la résistance au néolibéralisme en Colombie Britannique en 1983 et à quel point a-t-elle réussi? Des analystes de gauche ont vivement débattu de ces questions à l’époque et une revue rétrospective de leurs débats est utile. Dans quelle mesure le programme et la stratégie/tactique néolibérale ont-ils changé dans les années qui ont suivi? Notre rétrospective dans cet article suggère à la fois une continuité remarquable et quelques changements fondamentaux. Une analyse de ces évènements reste historiquement pertinente pour ceux et celles qui s’intéressent aux développements politiques au Canada.

This study aimed to determine the effect of ethanol extract Peperomia pellucida against total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides in the serum of white rats (Wistar) were given a diet aterogenetik, so it can be used as prevention of atherosclerosis. The active compounds contained in the water after screnning betel phytochemicals includes flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, steroids and quinones. In vivo studies conducted by true experimental method with pre and post test with control group design. Rats were divided into 3 groups: group A positive control is given aterogenetik diet, group B and C were given diet Peperomia Pellucida aterogenetik and extract orally at a dose of 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg. Diet aterogenetik given as much as 20 grams per day for 14 days. Data obtained include total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides were analyzed by statistical methods Paired T Test oneway ANOVA (P < 0,05). The study of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides showed ethanol extract of Peperomia pellucida at a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight can lower total cholesterol and LDL significantly, but there was no significant decline in triglycerides and can increase HDL levels.
Az óvodai nevelési nyelv megválasztásáról Kárpátalján
Authors: Nánási-Molnár Anita
Published: March 2016

A Kárpátalján végzett vizsgálatok célkitűzése az volt, hogy a nyelvi szempontból kevéssé kutatott óvodai nevelésre irányítsa a figyelmet; ezáltal rávilágítson az anyanyelvi nevelés fontosságára a köznevelési rendszer elsődleges színterén.
A tanulmányban bemutatott eredmények 2012-ből és 2015-ből származnak. A kutatásban 330 olyan szülő vett részt, akiknek a gyermeke a vizsgált időszakban még óvodába járt, de a kutatási év őszétől iskolába készült.
A felmérés eredményei szerint az óvodai nevelési nyelv megválasztására a megkérdezett szülők anyanyelve és általános iskolai tannyelve is hatással van, továbbá a mindenkori ukrán aktuálpolitikai helyzet is szempontként szerepel. Fontos kiemelni azonban, hogy azok a szülők, akiknél mindkét fél magyar nyelven végezte általános iskolai tanulmányait, magasabb arányban választanak a gyermeküknek is magyar tannyelvű intézményt (88,9%), mint azok a szülők, akiknél mindkét fél magyar anyanyelvűnek vallotta magát (75,5%).

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi status virulensi 22 isolat Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) asal Nusa Tenggara dan Papua  menggunakan metode polymerase chain reaction (PCR) multiplex dengan dua pasang primer nukleotida yang memiliki target amplifikasi gen spesifik pada kedua plasmid. Ektraksi DNA dilakukan dengan metode lisis panas. Pasangan primer PA5 dan PA8 digunakan untuk mengamplifikasi gen pagA pada pXO1, sedangkan pasangan primer 1234 F dan 1301 R mengamplifikasi gen capABC pada pXO2. Hasil reaksi PCR menghasilkan dua pita DNA berukuran sekitar 600 dan 800 bp pada 20 isolat. Namun, dua isolat lain, masing-masing hanya memiliki salah satu dari kedua ukuran pita DNA tersebut. Sebagian besar koleksi isolat asal Nusa Tenggara dan Papua (91%) masih memiliki kedua plasmid secara lengkap (pXO1+/2+) dan karena itu bersifat virulen, sedangkan dua isolat lain (9%) telah kehilangan salah satu plasmid virulennya sehingga bersifat avirulen. Disimpulkan bahwa PCR multiplex dengan dua pasang primer dengan target amplifikasi pada plasmid dapat digunakan untuk evaluasi status virulensi isolat B. anthraci.
Energy 360: Invited Perspective: Reservoir Modeling Today and Tomorrow

President's column

Reservoir performance forecasting is still the “Grand Central Station” of all the exploration and production (E&P) disciplines because this is where everything (the large-scale reservoir plumbing system, reservoir properties, fluid properties, wells, completions, lift curves/hydraulics, facilities, fluid handling capacities, and much more) is integrated and comes together in a life-of-field forecast. The revenue from the field development is the composite oil and gas production rates into the future multiplied by the forward oil and gas prices. The reservoir description, which I call the “subsurface plumbing system,” in a forecasting model can range from a simple homogeneous analytical tank model to an unbelievably complex dual porosity, compositional simulation model with one billion grid cells, pseudos ( from endless upscaling), and many other sophisticated features built in to try to mimic a very complex reality. I had the opportunity to discuss the state of the art and the future of reservoir modeling and reservoir performance forecasting with one of the finest members of the reservoir engineering profession, professor Larry W. Lake, of the University of Texas at Austin (UT).

You have taught reservoir modeling to undergraduates and graduate students for more than 30 years. How has the reservoir modeling discipline evolved?

The biggest evolution has been caused by the capacity of computers. The capacity has allowed combinations of traditional simulation with facilities, improved resolution of heterogeneity, progress in automated history matching, and uncertainty estimation to name just a few.

In order for universities such as UT to understand the main reservoir modeling challenges of the E&P industry, close collaboration and a dialogue on real industry needs must happen. What is your view of the state of industry/academia collaboration? Are you collaborating more with service companies than with international oil companies, national oil companies, and independents?

We at UT do well in the collaboration department and on all the major avenues of E&P. The challenge for us is the boundary between technology development and research. We do, or at least we should do, research.

O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de um verniz contendo extrato aquoso de araçá sobre a microbiota cariogênica e a microdureza de superfície do esmalte de ratos submetidos a desafio cariogênico. Inicialmente, Streptococcus mutans ATCC 35688 foram inoculados nos ratos. Após 21 dias, os 40 ratos experimentais, divididos em 4 grupos e foram submetidos (grupos II e IV) ou não (grupos I e III) à remoção de suas glândulas salivares maiores e uso de dieta cariogênica NIH 2000 (todos os grupos), bem como à aplicação do verniz contendo o extrato vegetal (grupos I e II) ou apenas a base do verniz (grupo III e IV). O biofilme foi coletado semanalmente para avaliação da população de cocos cariogênicos. Após 56 dias, os animais foram sacrificados. Os maxilares foram inicialmente examinados segundo os critérios de Keyes, e os dentes foram submetidos à avaliação de microdureza de superfície do esmalte. A participação de estreptococos do grupo mutansno biofilme foi avaliada por meio de cultura em ágar MSBS, após incubação em condições adequadas. A análise dos dados referentes às contagens microbianas foi realizada por ANOVA, enquanto a análise da microdureza do esmalte foi submetida à análise pelo teste de Tukey, ambas com nível de significância de 5%. Verificou-se que o esmalte dos animais que receberam o verniz com extrato de planta apresentou menores populações de cocos cariogênicos e microdureza de superfície do esmalte mais elevada do que o dos animais que receberam apenas a base do verniz.

A bridge over troubled water – public participation as a possibility for success in water management
Authors: Carlander Anders , von Borgstede Chris , Jagers Sverker , Sundblad Eva-Lotta
Published: March 2016

Public participation in local water councils is one method to involve different actors in the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive. In this study we investigate which beliefs explain why the public participate and also how motives to participate are related to willingness to comply with decisions related to the water management framework. In total 910 respondents answered a web survey regarding their participation in the council work. Structural equation modelling was conducted with willingness to comply and motives to participate as the main dependent latent constructs. Other included latent constructs were perceived need for change, fairness, trust, and social and personal norms. The results show that motives to participate did not have an effect on willingness to comply. Perceived need for change had indirect effects on nearly all latent constructs in the model, and personal norms and social norms (through personal norms) had an effect on willingness to comply. The results are discussed in the context of water management methods.
Status and trends of water quality in the Tafna catchment: a comparative study using water quality indices
Authors: Hamlat Abdelkader , Guidoum Azeddine , Koulala Imen
Published: March 2016

Water quality indices (WQIs) are necessary for resolving lengthy, multi-parameter, water analysis reports into single digit scores; different WQIs have been developed worldwide which are greatly differing in terms of mathematical structures, the numbers and types of variables included, etc. The aim of this paper is to evaluate trends of water quality in Tafna basin with a comparison of 10 WQIs perceived as the most important indices for water quality assessment. The results show that there is an appreciable difference between indices values for the same water sample. The results also show that water quality categorization for sampling stations in the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment WQI (CCMEWQI) and British Columbia WQI (BCWQI) was found to be ‘marginal’ for all sampling stations, except Hammam Boughrara reservoir and Mouillah wadi where it was found to be ‘poor’. For the Aquatic Toxicity Index, it was found to be ‘totally unsuitable for normal fish life’ for all stations and ‘suitable only for hardy fish species' for Mouillah wadi and Boughrara reservoir. The results show that this transboundary catchment always needs strategies for more effective pollution control management. Future use of WQIs in this way should prove a valuable tool for environmental planning decision-makers in tracking water quality change.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare IM administration of xylazine hydrochloride and dexmedetomidine hydrochloride for the induction of emesis in cats.

DESIGN Retrospective case series.

ANIMALS 47 cats with a history of suspected ingestion of a toxic substance or foreign material between June 2007 and June 2013.

PROCEDURES Data collected for analysis from the medical records included signalment, drug dose and route of administration, whether a repeated dose of the emetic agent was administered, and outcome (emesis, yes or no).

RESULTS Cats in the 2 treatment groups did not differ with regard to age, sex, or breed distribution. The range of doses of xylazine administered IM was 0.36 to 0.64 mg/kg (0.16 to 0.29 mg/lb). The range of doses of dexmedetomidine administered IM was 6 to 18 μg/kg (2.7 to 8.2 μg/lb). A repeated dose of xylazine or dexmedetomidine was given to 3 and 1 cats, respectively. Emesis was successfully induced in 24 of the 47 (51.1%) cats. Nine of the 21 (43%) cats that received xylazine vomited and 15 of the 26 (58%) cats that received dexmedetomidine vomited. Percentage of cats that vomited after either drug administration did not differ significantly.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Following IM administration in cats, xylazine and dexmedetomidine were similarly effective for induction of emesis, indicating that dexmedetomidine is a comparable alternative to xylazine for this purpose. Prospective studies are needed to determine the optimal IM dose of dexmedetomidine for induction of emesis in cats.
