STRATEGI DAN REKOMENDASI PENGELOLAAN PERIKANAN KARANG BERDASARKAN STATUS KELEMBAGAAN (Strategies and Reef Fisheries Management Recommendations Based on Institutional Status)
Authors: Yulianto Irfan , Wiryawan Budy , Taurusman Am Azbas
Published: August 2018

Dengan adanya Undang-undang nomor 32 Tahun 2004 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah, Pemerintah daerah dalam hal ini pemerintah kabupaten atau pemerintah kota memiliki peranan penting dalam pengelolaan perikanan karang. Disisi lain kapasitas sebagian pemerintah kabupaten dan kota dalam pengelolaan perikanan masih relatif lemah. Sehingga banyak pemerintah kabupaten dan kota tidak melakukan kegiatan pengelolaan perikanan karang. Kota Sabang, merupakan kota terletak di ujung barat laut Pulau Sumatera, termasuk wilayah Provinsi Aceh. Berdasarkan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Panjang Kota Sabang, bidang perikanan merupakan salah satu bidang prioritas dalam rencana tersebut. Salah satu masalah utamanya adalah kapasitas pemerintah Kota Sabang masih terbatas dalam melakukan pengelolaan perikanan khususnya perikanan karang sehingga memiliki kelemahan dalam menyusun strategi pengelolaan perikanan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah: adanya kajian status kelembagaan pemerintah kota sabang dalam melakukan pengelolaan perikanan karang; dan adanya strategi dan rekomendasi pengelolaan perikanan karang berdasarkan status kelembagaan. Metode yang dipakai dalam studi ini adalah Institutional Development Framework (IDF) yang dikembangkan oleh Renzi (1996) dan Manulang (1999). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan secara kelembangaan, Dinas Kelautan, Perikanan dan Pertanian (DKPP), Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah (BAPPEDA), dan Badan Pengendalian Dampak Lingkungan, Kebersihan dan Pertamanan (BAPEDALKEP) berada dalam tahap pemantapan dalam melakukan pengelolaan perikanan karang.

Distributional Impacts of Agricultural Growth in Pakistan: A
Multiplier Analysis
Authors: Dorosh Paul , Niazi Muhammad Khan , Nazli Hina
Published: August 2018

In spite of substantial growth in agricultural GDP in the
1990s, rural poverty rates in Pakistan did not decline. This paper
explores the reasons for this lack of correlation between increases in
agricultural production and poverty reduction through an analysis of
growth linkages using a 2001-02 Social Accounting Matrix (SAM)-based
semi-inputoutput model. Model simulations indicate that expansion of
traditional crop agriculture can significantly benefit rural poor
farmers. However, because of skewed distribution of land and earnings
from land, landless agricultural labourers and the rural non-farm poor
(who, together, account for 61 percent of the rural poor) do not benefit
directly from growth in the crop sector. In the absence of a change in
the structure of rural incomes and employment, further measures will
likely be needed for rapid poverty reduction in Pakistan, including
greater efforts to boost the livestock sector, expansion of the rural
non-farm economy (in addition to agricultural growth-induced linkage
effects), and targeted interventions to the poorest rural
households.
Dynamic Modelling of Energy and Growth in South Asia
Authors: Muhammad Arshad Khan
Published: August 2018

Energy plays an important role on the demand and the supply sides of the economy. On the demand side, energy is one of the products a consumer decides to buy to maximise his utility. On the supply side, energy is the key factor of production in addition to labour, capital and other raw materials. Energy is considered to be the key element in the socio-economic development of a country. It also helps to improve the living standards of the society through the increase in economic growth. This implies that there is a causal link running from energy consumption to economic growth. If causality runs from energy consumption to GDP then it implies that an economy is energy dependent and hence energy is a stimulus to economic growth [Jumbe (2004)]. Shortage of energy may negatively affect economic growth and may cause poor economic performance leading to a reduction of income and employment. On the other hand, if causality runs from GDP to energy consumption, this implies that economy is not energy dependent, and hence energy conservation policies may be implemented without adverse effects on economic growth and employment [Masih and Masih (1997)]. If there is no causality between energy consumption and GDP, it implies that energy conservation policies may be pursued without affecting the economy [Jumbe (2004)]. Based on these arguments, it is necessary to analyse the link between energy consumption and economic growth because it is often argued that the increased availability of energy services act as key stimulus of the process of economic development.

Published: August 2018

There are major developments taking place around the globe
affecting Pakistan and the region. Pakistan is dealing with various
social, cultural and security issues on its internal side. On the other
hand, the dynamics of globalisation are also having an impact offering
both challenges and opportunities. Taking into consideration the need
for an expert discussion on such issues facing Pakistan, the Islamabad
Policy Research Institute held a seminar on “Pakistan and Changing
Scenario: Regional and Global”. This book contains the research
presented in this seminar and is divided into six chapters. The first
chapter in its first paper on “Education in Pakistan: Historical
Perspective” reviews various education policies starting with
Quaid-i-Azam’s views on education then discusses financing in education
and current data on education. The common factors in all these policies
were Islamic values, universal primary education, technical education,
quality education and national unity. However there was less success in
achieving the goals like the integration of madrassa education with
mainstream education, the removal of the class barrier between English
and Urdu medium students, bridging the rural-urban areas gap and
reaching a hundred percent literacy rate.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is a process of procuring, developing, maintaining and controlling competent human resource in the organisation so that the organisational goals are achieved in an effective manner. HRM has undergone tremendous change in its functions over the past 20-30 years. Many years ago, large organisations looked at the “Personnel Department,” mostly to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people. But more recently, organisations consider the major role of HR Department as staffing, training and helping to manage people so that people and the organisation perform at the highest level of their capacity. The modern HRM views manpower as resource and asset of the organisation rather than just considering it burden on the resources. Usually large national and international businesses utilise these services due to their multidimensional operations and sizable employment. Small businesses carry out these activities by themselves to save cost associated with full-or part time help. However, they generally ensure that employees have—and are aware of— personnel policies conform to prevailing regulations. These policies are developed by the HRM professionals in the form of employee manuals and handbooks.
Price Hikes, Economic Reforms and Causality in Money, Income and Prices: Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Fazal Husain  , Abdul Rashid
Published: August 2018

This study extends the analysis of causality by Husain and Rashid (2008) by examining the shift in the variables due to the price hikes in Pakistan in the early 1970s. We investigate the causal relations between real money and real income, between nominal money and nominal income, and between nominal money and prices using the annual data set from 1959-60 to 2003-04. Moreover, we examine the stochastic properties of the variables used in the analysis, and take care of the shifts in the series due to price hikes and liberalisation measures through dummy variables. The results indicate significant shifts in the variables during the sample period. In this context, the shift that occurred due to price hikes in the early 1970s seems to be more important to be incorporated in the analysis. The study finds the active role of money as the leading variable in changing prices without any feedback. In the earlier studies on income the feedback mechanism of money is found missing perhaps because of overlooking the shift in the macro economic variables in the early 1970s.

Skill Shortage versus Subject Choice: Case of Pakistan
Authors: Mr. Atiq-ur-Rehman  , Hafsa Anis
Published: August 2018

Higher Education is believed to be a very important determinant of economic growth. The growth can be optimised with a suitable combination of skills in various subjects. A mismatch between required combination of skills and available combination of skills carries heavy costs for developing economies since import of skill from foreign is much more in expensive for such economies. We compare skill shortage in Pakistan with the subjects choice of students recently enrolled in institutes of higher learning. We found that there is a mismatch between skill shortage and the enrolment trend. We propose that the Government should regulate recruitment of students into various subjects in order to create greater harmony between national needs and students enrolment.

Making People Employable: Reforming Secondary Education in Pakistan.
Authors: Shaukat Hameed Khan
Published: August 2018

Pakistan’s education system has been the focus of various reforms every few years, and a new exercise has been initiated recently through the National Education Policy, 2009. While the problems are generally well documented and stress on universal primary education fully justified, the role of economic relevance of education and training as a factor discouraging completion is not sufficiently emphasised. Studies from developing and developed countries highlight the strong linkage between education and training and employment, and the economic and social returns of employability of trained workers. It is argued that if one or more career based occupational tracks (vocationalisation of upper-secondary education) is offered at the upper secondary level (Class 8-10) as supplements to general education, dropout can be reduced. This will result in increased employability, productivity and competitiveness in the work environment. Co-financing with the private sector of a Rs 48 billion programme for practical on-the-job training is examined in the light of international experiences.

Sector Level Analysis of FDI-Growth Nexus: A Case Study of Pakistan.
Authors: Somia Iram  , Muhammad Nishat
Published: August 2018

The main objective of the study is to empirically investigate the differential impact of services and manufacturing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on economic growth over the period of 1972 to 2008. The study further examines the role of FDI in presence of macroeconomic instability and privatisation. For the investigation of long run, Autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) has been used. For short run results, we used Error correction method (ECM). Our empirical results show that FDI inflow in both, service sector as well as manufacturing is contributing to economic growth positively. But it is apparent from the results that contribution of services FDI to growth is greater than that of manufacturing FDI to growth. Furthermore, the results provide coherent and sound policy recommendations for further policy adaptation regarding sectors.

Demographic Transition and Unwanted Fertility: A Fresh Assessment (The Mahbub Ul Haq Memorial Lecture)
Authors: John B. Casterline
Published: August 2018

The distinction between wanted and unwanted fertility has been crucial in many of the more intense debates in recent decades over the nature of contemporary fertility declines and, in particular, the potential impact of expanded provision of family planning services. In a much-debated article published in 1994, Pritchett argues that decline in desired fertility is overwhelmingly the principal source of fertility decline, with the implication that family planning programmes are of little consequence. I revisit this debate drawing on a far larger body of survey data and, more importantly, an alternative fertility specification which relies on a non-conventional definition of wanted and unwanted fertility rates and which distinguishes rates and composition. Decompositions of fertility decline in the period from the mid-1970s to the present are carried out for 44 countries. The decomposition results indicate that declines in unwanted fertility rates have been at least as important, if not more important, than declines in wanted fertility rates. Surprisingly, shifts in the proportion of women wanting to stop childbearing—i.e., changes in preference composition—has contributed very little to fertility change in this period. Further, decline in wanted fertility and increases in non-marital exposure (due largely to delayed entry into first marriage) have also made substantial contributions, although on average they fall short of the contribution of declines in unwanted fertility rates. That declines in unwanted fertility have been an essential feature of contemporary fertility decline is the main conclusion from this research. This in turn opens the door to new perspectives on fertility pre-, mid-, and post-transition which recognises the inter-dependencies between fertility demand and unwanted fertility rates in the determination of the overall level of fertility.

Babylon Governorate Municipal Solid Waste Generation Rate
Authors: Al-Ameen Jathwa Abd ALKareem , Al-Hamdany Mustafa Akeel
Published: August 2018

Municipal solid waste generation in Babylon Governorate is often affected by changes in lifestyles, population growth, social and cultural habits and improved economic conditions. This effect will make it difficult to plan and draw up future plans for solid waste management.In this study, municipal solid waste was divided into residential and commercial solid wastes. Residential solid wastes were represented by household wastes, while commercial solid wastes included commercial, institutional and municipal services wastes.For residential solid wastes, the relational stratified random sampling was implemented, that is the total population should be divided into clusters (socio-income level), a random sample was taken in each level in its proportion to the total population. According to the obtained results of the primary survey of 5% standard error and 99% confidence interval, held in Babylon Governorate, the best sample size was 44. Samples were taken as a daily collection for 10 days, this process was repeated for four different periods to cover the change in the waste generation between summer and winter season. The study showed that Babylon Governorate has an average residential solid wastes generation rate of 0.587 kg per capita per day.If the quantities of commercial solid waste were to be added; solid waste generation rate reaches 0.802 kg per capita per day as a 36.6 % increase. The research adopts the value of 0.802 kg/capita. day as a waste generation rate for Babylon Governorate.

Shifting perspectives — How the masks we wear can facilitate and inhibit channels of communication in the social-environmental policy context
Authors: Brennan Ruth E , Valcic Branka
Published: August 2018

Everyone shares the human condition, but we play it out in different ways. As scientists, we play a role when we work, speak and write as scientists. A recently completed EU-funded multi-disciplinary project on integrating science and policy in the context of coastal management (SPICOSA) illustrates how divorcing this role of scientist from the underlying context of a human being with values and opinions gives rise to the illusion that science can remain detached from the human messiness of the social-environmental policy context. An ongoing social-environmental conﬂict in Barra in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland illustrates different perspectives on marine conservation held by different roles (policy makers and local community). Our roles position us on the social grid and allow us to function in society. We speculate that working and communicating with an awareness of a shared human condition, and an acceptance of the messiness of the social-environmental policy context, enables us to consciously choose our roles as a means of facilitating effective communication and providing policy-relevant science.
Ramsey_imitaton_load_preprint

Published: August 2018

Automaticity has been argued to be a core feature of the mental processes that guide social interactions, such as those underpinning imitative behaviours. To date, however, there is little known about the automaticity of imitative tendencies. In the current study, we used a finger movement stimulus-response compatibility task to index processes associated with controlling the urge to copy other people’s actions. In addition, we manipulated the level of load placed on a secondary cognitive task to test if there is a capacity limit in the systems that filter distractor finger movement stimuli. Across three experiments, we showed that whether letter strings (Exp. 1), faces (Exp. 2) or hand postures (Exp. 3) are held in working memory, there was no impact on compatibility effects in the main task. These findings show that the cognitive operations that generate imitative tendencies are relatively efficient in that they operate the same whether or not a central resource is taxed heavily with non-social (letter strings) or social stimuli (faces and hand postures). Therefore, in the sense of persisting in the presence of a demanding cognitive load this type of imitation behaviour can be considered automatic.
Dynamic and distributional properties of prices
Authors: Kvam Peter D.
Published: August 2018

Most models of pricing embody a static, deterministic theory of value where the monetary amount people assign to an item is computed as a fixed function of its attributes. Preference reversals --- where prices assigned to gambles conflict with preference orders elicited through binary choices -- indicate that the response processes going into value assessments are important. In this paper, we additionally show that price responses are sensitive to time pressure, suggesting a dynamic underlying cognitive process. We also show that the elicited price distributions can possess strong positive or negative skew, indicating that diverging information is used to generate buying versus selling and certainty equivalent prices. We develop a computational cognitive model that predicts these continuous distributions of price responses and how they change over time, showing that it can account for the major dynamic and distributional properties of prices and decisions.
Towards a Poetics of Strangeness: Experiments in Classifying Language of Technological Novelty
Authors: Simeone Michael , Koundinya Advaith Gundavajhala Venkata , Kumar Anandh Ravi , Finn Ed
Published: August 2018

The trajectory of science fiction since World War II has been defined by its relationship with technoscientific imaginaries. In the Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s, writers like Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein dreamed of the robots and rocket ships that would preoccupy thousands of engineers a few decades later. In 1980s cyberpunk, Vernor Vinge, William Gibson, and Bruce Sterling imagined virtual worlds that informed generations of technology entrepreneurs. When Margaret Atwood was asked what draws her to dystopian visions of the future, she responded, "I read the newspaper." This is not just a reiteration of the truism that science fiction is always about the present as well as the future. In fact, we will argue, science fiction is a genre defined by its special relationship with what we might term "scientific reality," or the set of paradigms, aspirations, and discourses associated with technoscientific research.
Mechanical fracture characterization of adhesive interfaces: Introducing a new concept for evaluating adhesive quality
Authors: Brandtner-Hafner Martin
Published: August 2018

For the evaluation of adhesive quality, the prevailing situation shows that standardized mechanical tests do not generate significant quality parameters as they indicate merely the maximum bonding strength of the specimen under investigation. Furthermore, most product data sheets provided by adhesive manufacturers supply only a few technical parameters (i. e. maximum tensile strength), which, from a technical point of view, limits the selection criteria for adhesives. Considering this fact, adhesive selection can be very dangerous when relying on bonding strength alone. This is crucial for industries where human safety has top priority, such as aeronautical, automotive or medicine. Consequently, the present study introduces a new approach, using both fracture mechanics and a special test arrangement for adhesively bonded composites to overcome the above mentioned handicaps. The key benefit of this novel evaluation concept is its ability to monitor the post-cracking behavior of bonded interfaces in a stable and steady manner even for brittle adhesives. This is a major advantage over commonly practiced techniques, both from a mechanical and a fracture mechanical point of view, as they basically tend to measure instability if brittle interfaces come about. To demonstrate this new technique, experiments were conducted on six different adhesives kindly provided by SIKA and MUREXIN. The results found opposite interactions between adhesive bonding strength and fracture resistance, meaning that high tensile strength values do not automatically lead to the best results. Such findings show that the selection of adhesives with the help of fracture analysis seems quite desirable for the future.

Published: August 2018

Intracranial pressure (ICP) measurements are imperative for the proper diagnosis and treatment of several neurological disorders. Telemetric sensors have shown their utility for ICP estimation in short-term monitoring in humans. However, their long-term reliability is uncertain. The authors present the case of a 37-year-old woman diagnosed with benign intracranial hypertension and obesity. The patient underwent gastric bypass surgery for ICP control. In order to monitor ICP before and after bariatric surgery, a Neurovent-P-tel sensor was implanted in the left frontal lobe. After gastric bypass, normal ICP values were recorded, and the patient’s visual fields improved. However, the patient experienced incapacitating daily headaches. The authors decided to implant a Codman Microsensor ICP transducer in the right frontal lobe to assess the long-term reliability of the Neurovent-P-tel measurements. A comparison of the recordings at 24 and 48 hours showed good correlation and reliability during long-term monitoring with the Neurovent-P-tel, with minimal zero drift after 11 months of implantation.

Pine regeneration: plasticity and acclimation in a dryer climate

Increasing summer drought might limit the natural regeneration of Scots pine stands at low elevations of the Rhone valley. Common garden experiments at the forest-steppe ecotone have shown that emergence and establishment of Scots pine primarily depend on spring precipitation and, to a minor degree, on summer drought and rising temperatures. Scots pine seedlings acclimated rapidly to drought periods by favouring root to shoot growth. In the second year, the saplings were already adapted to drought so that most of them survived an extended spring and summer drought, as recorded at Sion twelve times during the last 154 years. Only an extreme summer drought – no water from June to September – killed 14.7% of the Scots pine saplings. Surprisingly, they were even able to acclimate to such extreme drought events: after the same extreme summer drought in the third year, mortality dropped below 5%. In general, the Scots pine was very plastic, i.e. seedlings and saplings changed their phenotype depending on environmental conditions. But we also found genetic adaptation: Scots pine originating from regions with pronounced summer drought, including populations from lower elevations in the Rhone valley, produced more biomass than those from moister regions in all treatment combinations. Black pine reacted similarly to the treatments like Scots pine, but it grew faster and more saplings survived the first extreme summer drought. These results show that Scots pine from low elevations of the Rhone valley is one of the most drought-tolerant provenances in Europe. Thanks to its high phenotypic plasticity and the ability of seedlings and saplings to acclimate to drought on a short time scale, natural regeneration of Scot pine at low elevations of the Rhone valley is likely to occur also under future conditions, but maybe less frequent than today.

Sezai Karakoç’ta Poetik Düşüncenin Mantığı
Authors: ALTUNYA Hülya
Published: August 2018

Şairler, kavramlarla düşünüp söz söyleyen bilim
adamlarının aksine imgelerin hayat bulduğu estetik bir dilde söz söylerler.
Kavramsal düşüncenin mantığı, varlık düzenine uyumu, kendi içinde tutarlılığı
ve ispatlanabilir olmayı kendine temel prensip olarak almışken, poetik
düşüncenin mantığı, bahsedilen tüm prensiplerden uzak olarak varlığı ve hakikati
hissettiği biçimde anlatmayı kendine amaç edinmiştir. Buna göre günümüz
şairlerinden Sezai Karakoç’un poetik mantığını anlamaya ve tahlil etmeye
çalışacağız. Onun Küçük Na’t isimli
şiirinde geçen şu beyit ise bu araştırmanın odağında yer alacaktır: “Aklım yeni
bir akıldır çiçeklerden / Mantığım mantığın üstünde yeni.”

Burada şair, yeni bir düşünme tarzını veya yeni bir
mantığı keşfetme çabası içinde olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Kendisinin “Diriliş”
sözüyle formülleştirdiği bu yeni mantık, varolan tüm düşünme tarzlarının
ölümünden sonra hayat bulan yeni bir “canlanma” düşüncesi üzerine kuruludur.
Karakoç’un yeni mantığı, eski mantıklara göre daha açık ve daha aktif
yapıdadır. Adeta onun poetik düşüncesinde her şiir, kendi mantığıyla var
olmaktadır. Yani her şiir, kendi özel mantığını doğurmaktadır. Buna göre
Karakoç’un bahsettiği yeni mantık, tek, sabitlenmiş, tespit edilebilir bir
düşünme biçimi değildir. Ancak bu düşünme biçiminin kendisiyle çelişen,
tutarsız veya tümüyle gerçeküstü bir yapıda ortaya çıktığı da söylenemez. İşte
bu çalışmada, Sezai Karakoç’un şiirlerinde dile getirdiği “yeni mantık”ını,
kavramsal düşüncenin geliştirdiği mantıkla kıyaslayarak incelemeye
çalışacağız.

Tomando como uma hipótese geral que a ética do Filebo é uma ética da vida boa ou eudemônica, viso demonstrar neste artigo ser ela também, tal como a aristotélica, uma ética pluralista ou inclusiva.  Meus principais argumentos para esta conclusão podem ser enunciados como segue: 1) a postura aberta de Sócrates e Protarco, os principais palestradores, em contraste com a atitude dogmática de Filebo; 2) o método que Platão estabelece para a construção de sua ética nesse diálogo; 3) os princípios ontológicos que ele erige como base para essa ética; 4) os elementos que os principais oradores ao final incluem no bem misto que o ἀνθρώπινων ἀγαθόν é. Além disso, sustento que uma análise cuidadosa desses argumentos contribui, como diria Gadamer, para uma melhor compreensão da ética aristotélica.
Prekäre Vergemeinschaftung und verrückte Kämpfe

Two case studies in multinational service enterprises (fast food and transport sector) show that strategies of corporate culture are quite efficient for management control of precarious and 'poor work'. The article discusses the problems of individual and collective interest representation within these special kind of employment relations, the reasons why struggles for respect and justice seem to be 'crazy conflicts' there and in which context nevertheless occur ruptures in the system of absolute management control.
Noch ist Frankreich nicht verloren
Authors: Feld Raimund
Published: August 2018

In this rejoinder to K Lindners article in Prokla 148 on the 2005 riots in France, R. Feld pleads for more of a critical distance in relation to the (majority of the) rioters, pointing e.g. to the question of sexism. He argues, however, that concepts such as 'Lumpenproletariat' are not appropriate either, and that a more dynamic approach is needed. When it comes to the question of 'Sarkozysm', he rejects the assumption that an authoritarian populism has come abont and already achieved outright hegemony. Rather, the opposition is down but not out, and the question of purchasing power may soon provide it with some opportunities to make its voice heard again.
Theoretisch keine Brüder

Theoretically no Brothers: Marx and Foucault as Antagonists_ In spite of Foucault'sfrequent and positive references to Marx he does not deal with the critique of politicaleconomy. Foucault defines power in demarcation to Marxism and to approaches that theorizepower in relation to economy. This leads to serious flaws in Foucault's analytics of power. If wecompare Foucault's analysis of discipline and law to Marx' we can see that the two theories areincompatible. Attempts to merge Foucault and Marx otten lack methodological considerations.However it may be possible to re-interpret certain of Foucault's findings from a Marxian perspectiveand in doing so connecting Foucault and Marx.
Die Bedeutung des Gefängnisses für das neue Armutsregime
Authors: Wacquant Loïc

The spectacular growth of incarcertion in the U.S. can hardly be explained by the genesis a "prisonindustrial complex," as suggested by some criminologists, journalists and justice activists. Instead we must look at the rise of the "liberal-paternalist state", in which the prison functions as part of a triadic institutional nexus: The penal system contlibutes directly to regulating the lower segments of the labor market; it complements and compensates for the collapsing ghetto as device for the confinement of a population considered deviant, deviolls, and dangerous; and it is directly connected to the logic of welfare-to-workfare reforms.

The Use of Intravenous Vitamin C as a Supportive Therapy for a Patient with Glioblastoma Multiforme
Authors: Baillie Nicola , Carr Anitra C. , Peng Selene
Published: August 2018

Glioblastoma multiforme is a high grade malignant brain tumour with a poor prognosis. Here we report the case of a woman with glioblastoma who lived for over four years from diagnosis (median survival 12 months and 2% survival for three years), experiencing good quality of life for most of that time. She underwent initial debulking craniotomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, as well as having intravenous vitamin C infusions 2–3 times weekly over the four years from diagnosis. Her progress was monitored by blood tests, regular computerised tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, clinical reviews and European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaires (EORTC QLQ C30). Our case report highlights the benefits of intravenous vitamin C as a supportive therapy for patients with glioblastoma.
Unbiased Identification of Proteins Covalently Modified by Complex Mixtures of Peroxidized Lipids Using a Combination of Electrophoretic Mobility Band Shift with Mass Spectrometry

Covalent modification of functionally important cell proteins by lipid oxidation products (LOPs) is a known mechanism initiating pathological consequences of oxidative stress. Identification of new proteins covalently modified by electrophilic lipids can be performed by a combination of chemical, immunological, and mass spectrometry-based methods, but requires prior knowledge either on the exact molecular structure of LOPs (e.g., 4-hydroxynonenal) or candidate protein targets. However, under the conditions of oxidative stress in vivo, a complex mixture of proteins (e.g., cytosolic proteome) reacts with a complex mixture of LOPs. Here we describe a method for detection of lipid-modified proteins that does not require an a priori knowledge on the chemical structure of LOPs or identity of target proteins. The method is based on the change of electrophoretic mobility of lipid-modified proteins, which is induced by conformational changes and cross-linking with other proteins. Abnormally migrating proteins are detected by mass spectrometry-based protein peptide sequencing. We applied this method to study effects of oxidized palmitoyl-arachidonoyl-phosphatidylcholine (OxPAPC) on endothelial cells. Several known, but also many new, OxPAPC-binding proteins were identified. We expect that this technically relatively simple method can be widely applied for label-free analysis of lipid-protein interactions in complex protein samples treated with different LOPs.

As a methanation tool, two-dimensional (2D) carrier-loaded Ni has attracted the attention of many researchers. We successfully prepared 2D MgAl layered double oxides (LDO) carriers via flash nanoprecipitation (FNP). Compared to the LDO samples prepared by conventional co-precipitation (CP), the 2D MgAl-LDO (FNP) has more oxygen vacancies and more exposed active sites. The Ni/MgAl-LDO (FNP) catalyst demonstrates a CO conversion of 97%, a CH4 selectivity of 79.8%, a turnover frequency of 0.141 s−1, and a CH4 yield of 77.4% at 350 °C. The weight hourly space velocity was 20,000 mL∙g−1∙h−1 with a synthesis gas flow rate of 65 mL∙min−1, and a pressure of 1 atm. A control experiment used the CP method to prepare Ni/MgAl-LDO. This material exhibits a CO conversion of 81.1%, a CH4 selectively of 75.1%, a TOF of 0.118 s−1, and a CH4 yield of 61% at 450 °C. We think that this FNP method can be used for the preparation of more 2D LDO catalysts.
Improving Interfacial Charge-Transfer Transitions in Nb-Doped TiO2 Electrodes with 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane

Interfacial charge-transfer (ICT) transitions involved in charge-separation mechanisms are expected to enable efficient photovoltaic conversions through one-step charge-separation processes. With this in mind, the charge-transfer complex fabricated from TiO2 nanoparticles and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) has been applied to dye-sensitized solar cells. However, rapid carrier recombination from the conduction band of TiO2 to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of TCNQ remains a major issue for this complex. In this study, to inhibit surface-complex recombinations, we prepared Nb-doped TiO2 nanoparticles with different atomic ratios for enhanced electron transport. To investigate the effects of doping on electron injection through ICT transitions, these materials were examined as photoelectrodes. When TiO2 was doped with 1.5 mol % Nb, the Fermi level of the TiO2 electrode shifted toward the conduction band minimum, which improved electron back-contact toward the HOMO of TCNQ. The enhancement in electron transport led to increases in both short circuit current and open circuit voltage, resulting in a slight (1.1% to 1.3%) improvement in photovoltaic conversion efficiency compared to undoped TiO2. Such control of electron transport within the photoelectrode is attributed to improvements in electron injection through ICT transitions.
