Perceptions of the United States and the Americans. The collage approach
Authors: Hottolal Petri
Published: November 2016

National and regional stereotypes are difficult to study in a practicalmanner. The Collage method, an experimental method for descriptive research materialanalysis, was designed to that end. It was first tested in a seven-nation survey of college anduniversity students, on the sociotype of the United States and its typical inhabitants. Amongthe samples the one collected in Spain (Pais Vasco) was more critical and sometimes morerealistic in its perceptions than the rest. The criticism focused on the US way of life andespecially on the nation’s role in world politics. The positive aspects of the love-hate relationshipwith the USA were mostly projected on the typically American female, whereasthe male represented the majority of negative connotations. For the students, the typicalUSA was located on the West Coast, in California. The perceptions were clearly influencedby US media entertainment, in addition to more factual news media information
Late Wisconsinan Glacial Geomorphology of the Kent Interlobate Complex, Ohio, USA
Authors: Santos João Bessa
Published: November 2016

The northern sector of the Kent Interlobate Complex, created by twomajor ice lobes of the Laurentide Ice Sheet during late Wisconsinan times, dominates theglacial landscape of northeast Ohio. The geomorphology of this impressive complex revealsthe presence of large hummocks, kettle lakes and substantial esker chains. The esker chains,usually smaller than 1.3 km long, run parallel to the interlobate complex geographicorientation of northeast-southwest. Gravel pits present on large hummocks display beddedand sorted sedimentary units of gravel, sand and gravel and climbing ripple laminated sandwith folds, which demonstrate that the northern sector of the interlobate complex isprimarily a glaciofluvial feature. Topping these hummocks is a massive clast-supporteddiamicton interpreted to be a debris flow. These geomorphic and sedimentary characteristicsseem to indicate that hummocks present in the interlobate area are in fact kames and that theentire northern sector of the interlobate complex is a product of late Wisconsinan timetransgressive ice stagnation that occurred between two major ice lobes.
La movilidad en la región metropolitana de Barcelona: entre los nuevos retos y las viejas prácticas
Authors: Cebollada Angel , Miralles-Guasch Carme
Published: November 2016

La extensión territorial de la Región Metropolitana de Barcelona (RMB) de los últimos decenios se ha producido a partir de los patrones de la especialización funcional y de baja densidad. Este modelo urbano se asocia al uso del vehículo privado. Este hecho se contradice con el reto de las políticas públicas de conseguir una pautas de movilidad sostenibles, priorizando aquellos modos de transporte menos costosos ambiental y socialmente. El presente artículo señala los impactos de las viejas prácticas de la movilidad basadas en el coche privado en los cada vez más extensos espacios suburbanos de la RMB y las herramientas disponibles para alcanzar los nuevos retos planteados de una movilidad sostenible.
Serão explicáveis os conflitos violentos em África? Notas de leitura
Authors: Medeiros Isabel
Published: November 2016

A maior parte dos países africanos, na sequência das independências políticas, e sobretudo no período pós Guerra Fria, num contexto de crescente globalização, tem conhecido situações de turbulência política que por vezes culminaram em massacres e confrontos de grande violência. Para muitos autores as guerras civis que se desencadearam ou ressurgiram na década de 90 correspondem a um tipo “novo” de conflito, embora não seja consensual separar “novas” e “velhas” guerras. Na perspectiva do alcance da paz e da respectiva prevenção é essencial aprofundar o conhecimento das causas subjacentes a cada situação nas suas complexas e múltiplas interligações. Neste texto analisam-se diferentes posições doutrinais sobre o assunto, considerando-se em particular os casos do Sudão, da Costa do Marfim e do Uganda. Também são objecto de comentário as relações entre guerra, fome e insegurança alimentar e as de género, atendendo sobretudo à situação das mulheres combatentes.
Conhecimento, Inovação e Território
Authors: Vale Mário
Published: November 2016

O processo de globalização e a economia do conhecimento colocam novos desafios para o desenvolvimento de cidades e regiões, em virtude do estabelecimento de novas arquitecturas organizacionais e espaciais das redes de conhecimento. Esta combinação de redes distantes e locais de conhecimento têm profundas implicações para a inovação e desenvolvimento territorial, requerendo um papel renovado da acção das instituições regionais e locais, tradicionalmente mais capacitadas para a promoção das dinâmicas de inovação localizadas. Este artigo discute precisamente as questões do buzz, proximidade e aglomeração geográfica e das redes distantes de inovação, constituindo, simultaneamente, o “pano de fundo” teórico para os artigos publicados neste número especial acerca da temática do “Conhecimento, Inovação e Território”.
Redes globais e dinâmicas regionais: explorando o desenvolvimento das tecnologias bi-combustível em São Paulo
Authors: Carvalho Luís
Published: November 2016

Uma importante parte do trabalho recente da geografia económica tem sido dedicado a conciliar noções de “aprendizagem territorializada” com a evidência de que muitos dos esforços de criação de conhecimento e inovação de actores locais se processam cada vez mais através de redes globais. Todavia, tem sido dada menor atenção aos efeitos dinâmicos que resultam da participação de actores localizados, nomeadamente empresas, em redes globais de conhecimento e inovação. Numa perspectiva evolucionista, este artigo propõe uma conceptualização desses efeitos ao nível da empresa, das redes regionais de inovação e co-evolução institucional associada. Esta conceptualização é ilustrada com o caso do desenvolvimento do portfóliode tecnologias bi-combustível em São Paulo, Brasil.

Authors: Serrano Enrique , Morales Carlos , González-Trueba Juan , Martín Raúl
Published: November 2016

En este trabajo se presenta un mapa de síntesis que ofrece una visión global de la distribución del permafrost en los pirineos a escala regional. la elaboración del mapa está basada en la utilización de indicadores de permafrost (glaciares rocosos, gelifluxión, cavidades heladas, suelos ordenados, sondeos eléctricos verticales y registros térmicos de suelos) y un modelo digital del terreno (mdT) con información sobre la inclinación de las laderas y su orientación, la altitud y la radiación solar directa potencial. El mapa resultante contiene información sobre la distribución espacial del “permafrost probable” y del “permafrost posible”, una aproximación que muestra el estado actual del conocimiento sobre permafrost en los pirineos.
The International Polar Year 2007-08 and the development of portuguese research on Antarctic permafrost
Authors: Vieira Gonçalo
Published: November 2016

portuguese Antarctic permafrost research has developed fast in the last decade. The research was initiated by the centre for Geographical Studies of the university of lisbon in the framework of a collaboration with the university of Alcalá (Spain) and the Spanish Antarctic programme in 1999. In 2007 and 2008, collaborations have extended, respectively to the bulgarian and Argentinean programmes. The critical mass has grown substantially since then and other institutions are now also involved on the research activities. The development of scientific activities was fostered by the International polar year 2007-08 and supported by funding from public and private institutions. A wide-scope education and outreach project has significantly contributed to the public and political awareness of the science programme, and a close interaction between scientists and society has developed. The main research topics are permafrost, active layer and geomorphological processes monitoring, with an emphasis on detection of climate change signals.
A climatic study of an urban green space: the Gulbenkian Park in Lisbon (Portugal)
Authors: Andrade Henrique , Vieira Rute
Published: November 2016

Measurements of various climatic parameters were carried out in an average-sized green space in the centre of Lisbon (the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian Park). The aims consisted of assessing the thermal differentiation between the park and the surrounding built-up area and analysing the microclimatic patterns within the park itself. The main results demonstrate that the park is cooler than the built-up area in all the seasons and both during the daytime and at night, but especially so in the daytime during the summer. The most signiﬁcant microclimatic contrasts were found to occur with respect to solar radiation and mean radiant temperature, with consequences upon the level of thermal comfort. The structure of the vegetation was also found to have a signiﬁcant microclimatic inﬂuence, since the reduction in the level of incident solar radiation brought on by the presence of groups of trees was much larger than that associated with isolated trees.

A dinâmica dos sistemas litorais do Sul de Moçambique durante os últimos 30 anos
Authors: Moreira Maria Eugénia
Published: November 2016

Erosion is the dominant process of Mozambique’s coastal dynamics. In more than 90% of the coastline, it is a natural process that occurs as a consequence of tropical cyclones and of the recent relative sea level rise. The consequences of these processes are the retreat of the coastline and the occurrence of transgressive phenomena in all the sandy systems (beach-dune-lagoon). These are due to the erosion of the upper- and meso-tidal forms, such as beaches, dunes, spits, barrier islands and cliff fronts. At the same time, an infilling of the low coastal forms occurs that is due to the submergence of the sub- and meso-tidal forms, such as beachrock platforms (bio-erosion pools and solution benches filled with sand), estuarine bars and mudflats. Wherever the beachrock platforms are wide enough, despite being partially submerged, they preserve the erosion of the connected beachdune system. The salinization of the freshwater coastal aquifers, both in islands and in the mainland, and the growth of the coral reefs are two other consequences of this gradual submergence. The retreat values recorded in the beaches that experienced these natural dynamics in the southern coast of Mozambique range from 0.11 to 1.10 m/year over the last 31 years (1973-2004). However, the maximum erosion values of 0.95 and 1.75 m/y took place in the southern border beach-dune system (Ponta do Ouro), and were due to disorderly exploitation by the tourist industry. The inland migration of the spit-dune system over the mangrove platforms has changed the sedimentation pattern, and the sand now overlaps the silt mudflats. For this reason, the mangrove flora has undergone ecological changes, such as the substitution of helophyte (Rhyzophora and Ceriops ssp.) by psammophyte species (Aviccenia marina).
Globalização e espaços de referência identitária
Authors: Patrício Carlos
Published: November 2016

Globalization, increasingmobility and the boost in information flows are usually associated with the gradual loss of importance both of space as distance, and of the territory as an identity referential. Promoting scale changes to global changes, network systems to spaces of non-places and space permeability to the failure of territory, we live in a time ofdeep ideological crisis in terms of space organization. Faced with the threat of a logic of allotment spaces replacing that of spaces of belonging, nomadic territorial strategies substituting sedentary territorial solutions, and the nation-State becoming less and less effective at addressing issues of spatial inclusion, above or belowits operative scale, we find that a strong anchorage of a territorial nature, especially at the national, regional and local levels, seems to persist – and perhaps even increase.

Prospecção interactiva de endocarso através duma aplicação SIG

Published: November 2016

GIS APPLICATION FOR INTERACTIVE PROSPECTION OF ENDOKARST. The parameters that affect the development of karst erosion at depth – endokarst - are complex and difficult to understand, due to both their diversity and the difficulty of quantifying the actual contribution of each of them. This work presents a methodology developed in a GIS environment with the aim of identifying the areas in which endokarst is most likely to occur. This case study was conducted within a sample area located to the west of Sesimbra where several of these structures have been identified, with a special emphasis on the caves of Zambujal and Frade. The suggested model is based on the interactive combinatory analysis of the dependent variables according to skillful criteria, taking into account their relative contributions to the development of endokarst. One of the main goals of this study is the development of an interactive software application enabling to test and evaluate the relative importance of the selected parameters. A decision was made to use a simple classification of the supervised or skillful type, in which the variables, their inter-relations and their relations with the surrounding areas are conveyed under the summarised form of a ranking of their relative relevance, as measured by their expected contribution to karstification. The output of the model consists of a set of maps that indicate the likelihood of the occurrence of endokarst at any given point. The hierarchical relevance of each variable, the selection of larger or smaller buffer areas for fractures and fracture intersections, the choice of appropriate variables and their subdivision into a number of categories allow for scrutiny to be applied at a series of different levels, rendering possible the skillful calibration of the results to all the places where the predominant geology is of the carbonate type. At the same time, the comparative analysis of these results provides an excellent opportunity for us to understand the parameters that most contribute to the formation of endokarst. The suggested model was tested interactively and the latter analysis and validation of the results allowed for the positive identification of the appropriate sequence of those variables that most affect the formation of endokarst
Caracterização geo-ecológica dos sistemas de cordões dunares da Estremadura
Authors: Henriques Maria Vergínia , Neto Carlos
Published: November 2016

GEO-ECOLOGYCAL STUDY OF SOME DUNE SYSTEMS IN THE PORTUGUESEESTREMADURA. The Portuguese Estremadura coastal area between Nazaré and Peniche displays great variety of landforms. Most are cliff systems cut in sedimentary rocks with incisions controlled by tectonic activity. In the river mouths sand bars and beaches are present. Beach systems make up about 40% of the referred coastline and have ridges of diverse form and size, and rates of vegetation cover. These dunes appear on the inland side of the beach or even backshore as a result of erosion. They may have piled up into sand backs that cut off the lagoon estuaries to the West in the historic period. The geomorphologic and sedimentary characteristics that appear permit the identification of double ridges separated by interdunal corridors or depressions in West Nazaré, S. Martinho do Porto and Peniche (Consolação) and in a simple and continuous form in Baleal. This difference could be related with local topography, wind/wave climatology and/or vegetation cover. With regard to flora and vegetation, psammphitic and halonitrophilous pioneer plants that colonise foreshore ecosystems and transitions to backshore are Salsolo kali-Cakiletum aegyptiacae in the studied area. Springtime terophitic is sparse and grows where organic remains have accumulated. Flat backshore areas which are overrun by sea during spring-tides and storms are colonised by open vegetation, predominantly Elymus boreli-atlanticus (Euphorbio-Agropyretum junceiformis). Alongside the clumps of marran grass, on the backshore and on the crests of white dunes, Loto-Ammophiletum grows abundantly together with Otanthus maritimus and Lotus creticus. Grey dunes, which are further away from the effects of the ocean (winds and salinity), are characterised by relative sand stability and a succession of dune peaks and interdune corridors with thermophilic associated Armerio welwitschii-Cruciannelletum. The openings display terophitic associated Violo-Silenetum litoreae with Atlantic features. The mature stage of the system consist in the more interior stabilised dune of dense shrubs, consisting mostly of Juniperus turbinata (Osyrio-Juniperetum turbinatae).

Daily minimum air temperatures in the Serra da Estrela, Portugal
Authors: Mora Carla , Vieira Gonçalo Teles , Alcoforado Maria João
Published: November 2016

The Serra da Estrela is part of the Iberian Central Cordillera and isthe highest mountain in Portugal (1,993 m ASL). The Torre-Penhas Douradas and Alto da Pedrice-Malhada Alta plateaus with altitudes between 1,400 and 1,993m, which are separated by the Alforfa and Zêzere valleys dominate the highest part of the range. The central massif is dissected by several glacially sculpted valleys thatoriginate reliefs from 200 to 700m. This morphological diversity controls to a great extent the local climates of the mountain. Nine air temperature data loggers were installed in contrasting topographic situations, with special emphasis to valley floors and interfluve sites. Data collection was made each 2-hours from 27th December 1999 to 27th March 2000. Minima temperature most of the times occurs at 7 UTC. The minimum air temperature patterns based on the data from the nine sites were classified using k-means. Two contrasting events were chosen for the centroids of the classification. Cluster 1 represents the stable events with thermal inversions in the valleys and higher temperature in the interfluves. The valley floors at higher altitudes present lower temperatures than the ones at lower positions. Cluster 2 groups the unstable episodes with more turbulence and a temperature decrease controlled by altitude. In this group temperature does not depends on thetopographic position.

Réception et transformation des idées géographiques de ĽÉcole française de géographie au Japon
Authors: Nozawa Hideki
Published: November 2016

RECEPTION AND TRANSFORMATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL IDEAS OF THE FRENCH GEOGRAPHY SCHOOL IN JAPAN - The main characteristics of the geography of Vidal de La Blache and of his school of thought were known in Japan until the early days of the 1940's, especially through the efforts made by a professor of the University of Tokyo, Koji Iizuka. French geography was considered in Japan as representative of human geography in the world. It was used to counter Japanese geography, which was held to be environmentalistic and deterministic under the strong influence of German geography. After the Second World War, French geography offered an antithesis to fascist geography or to geopolitics during the movement of democratization in Japan, when geography was categorized as one of the disciplines of the social sciences. Two major elements played a role in the reconstruction of Japanese geography: the Vidalism tradition of French geography and the Marxist scientific environment. From the middle of the 1950's, Japanese geographers took an interest in the methodologies of French regional geography, for exemple the important notion of way of life. Paradoxically, they never wrote original regional monographs of Japan.
The soils of the Parque Natural da Arrábida
Authors: Schrittenlocher Rolf
Published: November 2016

The soils of the Parque Natural da Arrábida are surveyed along four "catenae" right across the Parque. Dominant soil formating processes and their regional importance are shown. The soils are described as units according to FAO (1988). On the basis of the FAO units an attempt is made to combine soil units with ecological classes. A comparison with the soil map 38-B and the portuguese classification (Cardoso 1964) is given. Unfortunately it is not possible to transform the units of that map into soil units according to FAO (1988).

A Geomorfologia e a datação de gravuras de Foz Côa. Metodologia e desenvolvimento de um caso de investigação científica
Authors: Rebelo Fernando , Cordeiro Rochete
Published: November 2016

THE GEOMORPHOLOGY AND THE DATING OF THE ENGRAVINGS OF FOZ CÔA - METHODOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT OF A SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH CASE - Several alternative interpretations of the age of the engravings at Foz Côa are presented. One derivation is based on the climatic and paleo-climatic characteristics of the area as well as the hydrological characteristics of the Côa River, especially its propensity for flooding. This interpretation involves the assumption that the smooth rock surface on which the engravings are found is of late-glacial origin. Another approach at establishing an age is based on the hardness of the rock schists and the near vertical slopes of the smooth surfaces in which the engravings are etched. And another interpretation is related to the burial of the engravings by debris flow and the effects of frost action on the rock surfaces. Evidence of the effects of ice on the rock surface along with the presence of periglacial deposits, similar to other known and previously-dated engravings, leads to the identification of a paleolithic age for the engravings found in the Foz Côa area.

As indústrias têxtil e do vestuário na Comunidade Económica Europeia. Os novos factores de competitividade
Authors: Pires Iva
Published: November 2016

THE EEC TEXTILE AND CLOTHING INDUSTRIES, THE NEW COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES - In spite of using new technologies, the textile and clothing industries remain intensive in workforce and thus sensitive to wage costs. The European firms must therefore find other competitive advantages based on product differentiation, quality and design. German and Italian T&C industries are good examples of how quality and design can help "mature" industries maintain a successful place in the world market. Nevertheless, the cost of production remains a problem. The use of the outwear processing traffic (OPT) allows the European textile industry to mantain the quality patterns of its products, profiting from cheap workforce. This more advantageous situation is due both to innovation and to low production costs.

Contribuição para o estudo da vinha e do vinho dos Açores
Authors: Medeiros Carlos Alberto
Published: November 2016

VINE GROWING AND WINE PRODUCTION IN THE AZORES - The cultivation of vines in the Azores dates back to the first settlers. It was particularly significant in Pico and São Jorge where better quality wine was produced; however the wine exported from the archipelago was generally not of financial importance. On the islands of Faial, Flores and Corvo the wine was always a minor or absent culture.This paper focuses the evolution of the vines from early times to the present day, its significance in rural landscape and in the economy of the Azores. From mid-nineteenth century the vines, proceeding from Europe, were attacked by plagues of oidium and phylloxera. The European vines were subsequently replaced in nearly all the areas by the american variety called "Isabela" (Vitis labrusca, L.). The "vinho de cheiro" (known as foxy to the Americans) which was produced, was of inferior quality; however it was easily assimilated into the diet of the islanders. The E.C. legislation foresees a progressive replacement of the "Isabela". This replacement process will be slow and dificult. Nowadays the area of vine cultivation (very parcelled) does not exceed 2500 or 3000 hactares. The main vine area is located on the island of Pico (more than 900 hectares); this is the only island on which grows a significant amount of European vine. On the island of São Miguel (the largest island) only the American vine is grown.

O espaço público do Marais - Paris
Authors: Machado Aquilino , André Isabel
Published: November 2016

A inovação sócio-territorial das cidades contemporâneas forja-se, em boa medida, nos seus espaços públicos. É sobretudo aí que se produzem os meios urbanos criativos. este artigo debate a criatividade urbana ancorada no espaço público, quer enquanto recurso simbólico da identidade local, quer como lugar de encontro, de debate, de confronto de ideias e de práticas. ametáfora clássica da porta, que deverá estar sempre aberta para que seja permitida a comunicação e a interação, assume particular significado no quadro parisiense do bairro do Marais, onde o espaço público se apresenta efetivamente como a porta aberta, ou seja, como a essência do meio criativo que aí se desenvolveu. Propomos aqui uma leitura do Marais, que salienta a diversidade sociocultural e a tolerância enquanto fatores chave da produção de capital relacional e de dinamização local. falamos das intensas relações de vizinhança, estimuladas pelas caraterísticas do espaço público, pelas atividades criativas que nele se desenvolvem e pelos modos de governança que o vão configurando. Mas, referimo-nos também ao importante papel das redes sociais virtuais no fortalecimento, reconhecimento e coesão da comunidade local.

Authors: Kaur Rupinder , Gugle Anil , Kote Rahul , Jadhav Vikrant
Published: November 2016

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic, disfiguring, inflammatory and proliferative condition of skin influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The prevalence of psoriasis vary from 0.1% to 3% in different population1. The pathogenesis of psoriasis is interplay of various inflammatory cytokines and chemokines which play an important role in the pathogenesis of various other systemic diseases. Psoriasis has been reported to be associated with metabolic syndrome which increases the risk of Coronary Artery Disease. Aim: To study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among patients of psoriasis vulgaris. Setting and Study Design: This is a case-control study and was conducted at the out-patient clinic of Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology of a tertiary care centre. Materials and Methods: Study was approved by the Institutional ethical committee. The patients were included in two study groups. 50 patients diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris were included as cases. Fifty age and sex matched controls were included in the control group. The detailed demographic history, duration of disease, family history and personal history was taken. Patients were assessed for severity of psoriasis using PASI score and blood sample collected was analyzed for fasting blood sugar levels and serum lipid profile. The data collected was evaluated using Chi Square test and unpaired t test. Results: Total 50 patients were included as cases and controls respectively out of which 11 (22%) were females and 39 (78%) were males. The mean age of cases and controls was 45.85 and 46.04 respectively. The mean duration of psoriasis in cases was 78.86 months. The mean PASI score was the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in psoriasis vulgaris was 46% in our study. Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome is a significant morbidity which predisposes the patients for Coronary Artery Disease. The patients of psoriasis vulgaris should be routinely screened for hypetension, Type II diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemias.

Authors: Bajaj Preeti , Devangana Rajyaguru , Shah B. S. , Kaur Amrinder
Published: November 2016

Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) is an extremely rare variant of acute myeloid leukemia. APL constitutes around 10-15 % of acute myeloid leukemia in adults. It is commonly diagnosed around 40 years age. Molecular/genetic studies exhibit chromosomal translocation between chromosome 15 and chromosome 17-t(15;17)(q22;q21) and PML-RARa rearrangement. Four variants of APL have been identified: The classic form M3 hypergranular variant, the microgranular variant, the hyperbasophilic form and zinc-finger form-M3r, identified by a different chromosomal translocation, between chromosome 11 and chromosome 17:t(11,17) (q23, q11-12).

Pengetahuan yang diperoleh melalui sejarah matematika sangat bermanfaat untuk digunakan dalam pembelajaran. Tulisan ini mencoba menjawab kenapa dan bagaimana penerapan sejarah matematika dalam pembelajaran melalui kajian pustaka (library research). Referensi terkait berupa ebook, artikel jurnal online dan proceedings konferensi dianalisis dengan memfokuskan pada dua hal, yaitu: manfaat sejarah matematika dalam membangun sikap positif siswa terhadap matematika; dan cara menerapkan sejarah matematika dalam pembelajaran matematika di Indonesia
Intellectual Capital and Islamic Banks Performance; Evidence from Indonesia and Malaysia
Authors: Setianto Rahmat Heru , Sukmana Raditya
Published: November 2016

This paper aims to investigate empirically the relationship between the Intellectual Capital (IC) efficiency consist of human capital, structural capital and capital employed and Islamic banks performance in Indonesia and Malaysia. We employ independent sample t-test and regression analysis focusing on the period from 2010 to 2014. The results suggest that there are significant differences in intellectual efficiency scores, where Islamic Banks in Malaysia have exhibited better VAIC  scores as compare to that of Islamic banks in Indonesia. While the regression analysis suggest that banks with better human capital efficiency tend to exhibit higher profitability levels. Moreover, sstructural capital is not related to Islamic bank performance. The results also suggets that capital efficiency tend to exhibit higher profitability levels both in Indonesia and Malaysia. The findings may serve as a useful input for Islamic bankers to apply knowledge based management in their respective institutions and in addressing the factors affecting IC performance in order to establish priorities and develop strategic plans, which will in turn enhance their future performance to maximize their value creation.  
Parental Refusal of Childhood Vaccines and Medical Neglect Laws
Authors: Parasidis Efthimios , Opel Douglas J.
Published: November 2016

Objectives. To examine the relation of vaccine refusal and medical neglect under child welfare laws.

Methods. We used the Westlaw legal database to search court opinions from 1905 to 2016 and identified cases in which vaccine refusal was the sole or a primary reason in a neglect proceeding. We also delineated if religious or philosophical exemptions from required school immunizations were available at the time of adjudication.

Results. Our search yielded 9 cases from 5 states. Most courts (7 of 9) considered vaccine refusal to constitute neglect. In the 4 cases decided in jurisdictions that permitted religious exemptions, courts either found that vaccine refusal did not constitute neglect or considered it neglect only in the absence of a sincere religious objection to vaccination.

Conclusions. Some states have a legal precedent for considering parental vaccine refusal as medical neglect, but this is based on a small number of cases. Each state should clarify whether, under its laws, vaccine refusal constitutes medical neglect.

Authors: Sinnenberg Lauren , Buttenheim Alison M. , Padrez Kevin , Mancheno Christina , Ungar Lyle , Merchant Raina M.
Published: November 2016

Background. Researchers have used traditional databases to study public health for decades. Less is known about the use of social media data sources, such as Twitter, for this purpose.

Objectives. To systematically review the use of Twitter in health research, define a taxonomy to describe Twitter use, and characterize the current state of Twitter in health research.

Search methods. We performed a literature search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and CINAHL through September 2015.

Selection criteria. We searched for peer-reviewed original research studies that primarily used Twitter for health research.

Data collection and analysis. Two authors independently screened studies and abstracted data related to the approach to analysis of Twitter data, methodology used to study Twitter, and current state of Twitter research by evaluating time of publication, research topic, discussion of ethical concerns, and study funding source.

Main results. Of 1110 unique health-related articles mentioning Twitter, 137 met eligibility criteria. The primary approaches for using Twitter in health research that constitute a new taxonomy were content analysis (56%; n = 77), surveillance (26%; n = 36), engagement (14%; n = 19), recruitment (7%; n = 9), intervention (7%; n = 9), and network analysis (4%; n = 5). These studies collectively analyzed more than 5 billion tweets primarily by using the Twitter application program interface. Of 38 potential data features describing tweets and Twitter users, 23 were reported in fewer than 4% of the articles. The Twitter-based studies in this review focused on a small subset of data elements including content analysis, geotags, and language. Most studies were published recently (33% in 2015). Public health (23%; n = 31) and infectious disease (20%; n = 28) were the research fields most commonly represented in the included studies. Approximately one third of the studies mentioned ethical board approval in their articles. Primary funding sources included federal (63%), university (13%), and foundation (6%).

Conclusions. We identified a new taxonomy to describe Twitter use in health research with 6 categories. Many data elements discernible from a user’s Twitter profile, especially demographics, have been underreported in the literature and can provide new opportunities to characterize the users whose data are analyzed in these studies. Twitter-based health research is a growing field funded by a diversity of organizations.

Public health implications. Future work should develop standardized reporting guidelines for health researchers who use Twitter and policies that address privacy and ethical concerns in social media research.
Health and Social Conditions of the Poorest Versus Wealthiest Counties in the United States
Authors: Egen Olivia , Beatty Kate , Blackley David J. , Brown Katie , Wykoff Randy
Published: November 2016

Objectives. To more clearly articulate, and more graphically demonstrate, the impact of poverty on various health outcomes and social conditions by comparing the poorest counties to the richest counties in the United States and to other countries in the world.

Methods. We used 5-year averages for median household income to form the 3141 US counties into 50 new “states”—each representing 2% of the counties in the United States (62 or 63 counties each). We compared the poorest and wealthiest “states.”

Results. We documented dramatic and statistically significant differences in life expectancy, smoking rates, obesity rates, and almost every other measure of health and well-being between the wealthiest and poorest “states” in the country. The populations of more than half the countries in the world have a longer life expectancy than do US persons living in the poorest “state.”

Conclusions. This analysis graphically demonstrates the true impact of the extreme socioeconomic disparities that exist in the United States. These differences can be obscured when one looks only at state data, and suggest that practitioners and policymakers should increasingly focus interventions to address the needs of the poorest citizens in the United States.

Authors: O’Neill Jennifer R. , Dowda Marsha , Benjamin Neelon Sara E. , Neelon Brian , Pate Russell R.
Published: November 2016

Objectives. We sought to determine the extent to which child care centers in South Carolina improved physical activity practices after a new policy took effect.

Methods. In 2012, South Carolina adopted new mandatory physical activity standards within its child care quality enhancement program. This quasi-experimental study used North Carolina, a state not making policy changes, as the comparison. Participants were 34 child care centers in South Carolina and 30 centers in North Carolina. Researchers used the Environment and Policy Assessment and Observation (EPAO) tool to conduct center observations before and after policy implementation and then conducted repeated-measures linear regression with interaction between state and time for the Physical Activity Environment Total Score and the 8 subscale scores.

Results. Compared with centers in North Carolina, EPAO subscale scores in South Carolina centers increased significantly for the Fixed Play Environment (P < .001) and Physical Activity Training and Education (P = .015). The state-by-time interaction of Physical Activity Environment Total Score approached statistical significance (P = .06).

Conclusions. Adoption of new physical activity standards in South Carolina child care centers was associated with improvements in practices aimed at increasing children’s physical activity.
